The U.S. Navy will pay nearly $161,000 in fines to settle federal claims that it failed to properly monitor pipes and underground fuel storage tanks for leaks at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor, in Silverdale, WA.
The Navy has 53 underground storage tanks on the base for storing diesel, used oil and gasoline.

To detect leaks quickly, federal law requires that underground storage tanks be monitored monthly and pipes be equipped with a leak detector and tested annually or monitored monthly.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, which inspected the base in March 2010, the Navy had the appropriate monitoring equipment in place at most of the sites, but it failed to check the monitors each month and document that the tanks and pipes were not leaking.
The EPA inspects facilities with underground tanks every three years.
37 Violations
The violations occurred between 2006 and 2010, according to EPA. The inspected tanks ranged in capacity from 170 gallons to 45,000 gallons.
EPA inspectors identified 37 violations in all, including:
• Failure to properly monitor the tanks and pipes for leaks; • Failure to have the proper leak detection equipment installed for the pipes; and • Failure to provide an adequate alarm system to prevent delivery drivers from overfilling the tanks.
• Failure to properly monitor the tanks and pipes for leaks;
• Failure to have the proper leak detection equipment installed for the pipes; and
• Failure to provide an adequate alarm system to prevent delivery drivers from overfilling the tanks.
The Navy has corrected the violations since the inspection and has agreed to provide documentation showing it is in compliance with proper monitoring, EPA said.
No Leaks Seen
"Luckily, we did not find a leak during the time period we were looking at," Anne Christopher, of the EPA's Groundwater Unit in Seattle, told the Kiltsap Sun. "But the whole point of the underground storage tank program is it's preventive. If there was a leak, they'd detect it quickly."
Leaks from underground storage tanks allow toxic fumes and vapors to escape and collect, posing a risk of explosion or respiratory illness. Toxic contaminants can also leak into groundwater sources of drinking water. Monitoring regulations are designed to minimize these risks.
Navy: Tanks Alarmed
All of the base's tank systems have audible and visual alarms if tanks leak, the Navy told the Sun. The systems are certified by an independent laboratory to meet EPA standards and are inspected annually by technicians certified by the manufacturer, the newspaper reported.
During the March 2010 inspection, monitoring systems were operating at all sites, showing they were operating properly and no fuel or oil was leaking, the Navy told the newspaper.
Before the EPA inspection, the Navy said, it had found inadequate record-keeping regarding the tanks and had filed complaints with EJB Facilities Services, the contractor that maintains and operates the tanks. The Navy said EJB had corrected or was correcting the problems before the inspection.
The Navy also said that it had completed more than $600,000 worth of projects on fueling systems since the EPA inspection, including upgraded monitoring systems for 15 tanks, and had recently awarded an additional $375,000 worth of fuel system upgrade contracts, the Sun reported.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (1/20/2012, 8:19 AM)
So this boils down to poor reporting/record-keeping by the 3rd party inspection company.

When the town turned on william? Yeah, that was pretty nuts. They were going to burn the suspect and then the town took control and told the security company to fuck off and they were going to burn them instead. They love burning over there for some reason, it sounds like a horrible way to go.
After seeing that video I am still on the fence about private security/police controlling things but I definitely see the necessity of what they do in that situation, i wish they weren't so violent about it though.
The criminal they interviewed at the end, Maleven, was a pretty scary character.. wouldn't want to cross his path. Pure sociopath.

The vid is not a good analysis of private security. It only shows what the private security forces are like in SA. A different country w/ different social customs, economic stability, etc etc would have a vastly different result.
What do you think happened to petty thieves in the US 'back in the day' when the US wasn't so 'civilized'? Or didn't have the infrastructure to throw every two-bit criminal in jail? You don't think local law roughed up a few people as a means of sending a message to mend their ways?
if everything would be people paid there would be actually good competition between firms thus better service not like it is now when your taxed money goes through corrupt chain of people
good example is internet in my country there is thousands of ISPs and we have low prices and one of the best internets in world

Released: Oct 01st, 1998
Running Time: 129
Company: West Coast Productions
Blair, Charlie (I), Sheena, Shelbee Myne, Others, Gina (I), Stormy, Azlea
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
The sublime Azlea prominently displayed on the box cover will get this one in the customer\'s hand; the superior content will do the rest.
It's an old story, but always a heart-warming one: Blair has been in L.A. only a couple of days, but is already just about to get fucked in the ass by some guy we have to assume is all but a stranger. With her open, small-town smile, easy way and obvious deep-down penchant for bung-blistering booty sex, Blair is a breath of fresh air. And while Tinsel Town may be a long way from her rural Texas home, she seems to be getting her bearings in a hurry, just as so many have before her, and turns in what is arguably the hottest outing on a tape full of sultry ones.
Sheena and Stormy also get their heinies hammered here, but can't hold a candle in the looks department to Azlea, a dark-eyed stunner who gleefully absorbs her own backdoor drubbing.
Elsewhere, a couple of seasoned veterans, Charlie and Shelbee Myne, rip through an admirable Sapphic slugfest complete with mucho dildo-dunking and lotsa tongue flogging. And who cares how comparatively "fresh" these two oft-seen starlets are - "hot" gets equal billing in this vid's title, and these two stunners are more than hot enough to make up the difference.
Each scene touches all the bases, and does so with an eye-pleasing assortment of fresh meat.

On the day before Halloween this year, a mentally ill man named Kenneth Green was killed by SWAT officers at his Houston home after his brother called HPD's nonemergency number for help.
Patrol officers, trained in crisis intervention, arrived at the house to find Green had locked himself in a bedroom. His brother told police that Green carried a pellet gun. The officers assured Green's family that he wouldn't be shot, but because he had a gun, the officers were bound by policy to call SWAT.
"Whether you're CIT or not, you have to go to that next level," says Lieutenant Mike Lee, the unit supervisor for the crisis intervention team.
A mandatory call to SWAT when weapons are involved is one of the procedures that still exist in the department that undercut the safeguards of crisis intervention, according to Lee.
As officers talked with the family in the living room, Green looked out of the bedroom window holding the air rifle and snipers killed him.
"When SWAT rolls out, they just clear things out," Lee says.
The first crisis intervention movement in Memphis started after a death similar to Green's, and Lee says his department also tries to learn from tragedies and small mistakes. An ultimate goal is keeping mentally ill suspects out of jail.
Avoiding such arrests not only saves jail space for serious criminals but also saves the county cash. According to numbers from Mental Health America of Greater Houston, court costs for a felony are $3,314 and a misdemeanor costs $1,796, plus an additional $90 a day for time in the Harris County Jail — $16,200 for a six-month sentence.
Even at the $834 a day it costs at the short-term NeuroPsychiatric Center — usual stays are 23 hours (or less than a day), although some patients stay as long as three days — the overall costs are still considerably less than when one of these people goes into the jail and court system.
But not all officers are fans of the CIT effort.
"They feel that this should not be a law enforcement problem, and want to know why officers are being sent to these [mental health] calls," says Michael Chimney, a 25-year veteran of the police department. "They think it should be an MHMRA [Mental Health and Mental Retardation Authority] problem, because if we have all this money available, why not give it to the people who want to do it."
Because of his work on the mental illness beat, Chimney is a common butt of jokes from other officers. When cops at the South Central Patrol substation see Chimney in the hallway, they say, "Hey, it's the Crazy Man!"
"I used to come back at them hard, but now I take it as a compliment, and I tell them, 'You're goddarn right,'" Chimney says. "Call me 'crazy,' but it's what I enjoy doing."
A new HPD pilot program pairs CIT officers with MHMRA counselors, and Chimney's partner is Mike Erickson, who worked at the NeuroPsychiatric Center for about six years.
They patrol in an unmarked car for a full shift but take an average of four calls a day, because they spend more time talking with the suspect and documenting the scene. After six months of the program, Chimney and Erickson have taken eight people to jail, and those were because of warrants.
"It's almost a 180-degree change from the typical police mind-set," says Frank Webb, a senior officer in the crisis intervention unit. Webb is nicknamed the Godfather because he's the boss of bosses among CIT officers. He served as the department representative on Houston's Mental Health America task force.
"[Police] are taught very authoritatively, very physical and very commanding," he says. "In these situations, we're asking our officers to do the opposite: Stand back, don't get in their face and don't put hands on them if you don't have to."
According to Lee, changing the entire department to that mentality is likely impossible.
"It's kind of hard to get SWAT to change their ways or get them to accept any training that isn't theirs," he says. "You're trying to do everything you can to tone things down and have patience to de-escalate, but when you roll up and jump out with military weapons, it's not always in our best interest."

Wine Spectator rated the 2008 vintage for Napa Cabernet 90-92 points, saying it "could be unique for its depth and concentration."
Caymus Vineyards has made Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley since the winery was founded in 1972. Charles F. (Charlie) Wagner, his wife Lorna Belle Glos Wagner and their son Charles J. (Chuck) Wagner built their winery among vines planted on the family's ranch in Rutherford, a district long recognized for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignons.
Charlie Wagner planted most of the Cabernet vines in the mid 1960s, before this variety was universally considered the "king" of Napa Valley wines. He acquired the loose-clustered, intensely flavored clone he planted from Nathan Fay, a well-known grower in the Stags Leap area. "I liked the character of Nate's wine, and he told me to help myself if I wanted some budwood," Charlie explained. "He was a generous man, and he knew I wouldn't injure his vineyard."
For both the Napa Valley and Special Selection bottlings, the goal is a balanced wine that tastes delicious when bottled but can improve with age. Chuck Wagner attributes the quality of the wines to farming and winemaking techniques developed over the decades.

The Digital Dimension of the Wall Street MovementPosted on Oct 15, 2011
The nationwide demonstrations against Wall Street are physical manifestations of broad dissatisfaction with a colossal market power that exists and functions in the abstract—that is, apart from the rest of society. And protesters have organized accordingly, with an occupation of the virtual space of social media. That's the drift of the following article by McKenzie Wark, author of "The Beach Beneath the Street," a history of an international anti-capitalist group called the Situationist International, which played a pivotal role in the May 1968 general strike in France. Add Wark's essay to the cache of written work that strives to understand and describe the nature of the Occupy Wall Street movement. —ARK Advertisement Square, Site wide Previous item: Nude in Black and White Next item: The Great Van Gogh Murder Mystery New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

New Jersey Drivers In Favor Of Red Light Cameras, Survey Finds
NEWARK, NJ (WCBS 880) — New Jersey drivers not only favor red light cameras, but say they make them better drivers.
A survey done in New Jersey by The National Coalition for Safer Roads found that 77-percent of registered voters favor red light cameras.
LISTEN: WCBS 880's Levon Putney reports:
"Cameras change people's driving behavior," said coalition president David Kelly. "Fifty-six percent of the people told us that the cameras change their driving behavior and as a traffic safety professional, that's all you ask for. You want people to stop doing something that's dangerous."
Kelly says as the state is now deciding whether to add more towns to the red light cameras pilot program, he hopes driver's thoughts outlined in this survey are taken into account.

Home › Academics & Activities › Academic Skills
By GreatSchools Staff
A senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, Eric Hanushek has spent a lot of time looking at the discrepancies between education in different countries — and just what it means that the United States continues to lag behind top-performing nations like South Korea and Finland. One of his recent studies concluded that if U.S. schools could become as high performing as Finnish ones, the economic gains would be equivalent to a bonus of six times our gross domestic product (GDP), amounting to $103 trillion.
GreatSchools caught up with Hanushek to get his perspective on global education and what we can take away from all those test scores.
GreatSchools: What can we learn from other countries' education systems?
Eric Hanushek: If nothing else, it shows you what's possible. Other more successful nations offer a benchmark. Seeing other countries makes us realize that there's a lot of room for improvement.
GreatSchools: Which nations should be role models for American reform?
Hanushek: I find it difficult to see what we can take away in specifics. There are so many differences: Some countries have more homogenous populations, some countries have higher levels of parental involvement, some have large class sizes, some have smaller ones. There are nations with each of those characteristics that perform better than we do, so how can we know which specifics can make the difference for American schools?
There was one thing I got out of the McKinsey study [a 2007 report that analyzed high-performing school systems worldwide]. There was one line, I recall, to the effect that countries that perform well don't let a bad teacher stay in the classroom very long. Somehow a lot of other nations have figured that out.
GreatSchools: Among high-performing countries, which one is most comparable to the United States?
Hanushek: Canada looks a lot like us. There's an influx of immigrants; they have strong unions; it's a federalist system. And yet it does better than we do, and it improves over time. Canada tends to equal out achievement over time — if you look [at] how students achieve in grade 4 and grade 8, kids improve the longer they are in school. Though I'm reluctant to say why. Everyone wants to go to Finland; I want to go to Canada.
GreatSchools: How can parents make use of information about education in other countries?
Hanushek: Parents are very important in education in terms of reading to their children and so forth. But they're also immensely important because parents choose the school. Once you get your child into a school, finding them an effective teacher is the most important thing. You need to make sure you have good teachers in front of your kids.
Parents need to be more involved in how we make decisions about which teachers stay in the classroom. By tradition, a lack of aggressiveness [around firing teachers] and union contracts has meant that most of the decision making about who stays in the classroom and who doesn't is the teacher's own decision. We need to change this — we need to be more actively involved.
GreatSchools: Are there any ideas you would like the United States to adopt from other countries that the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) tests have brought into focus?
Hanushek: The PISA tests show that some nations have a lot larger concern about student performance. When the PISA results are announced, for instance, it's front-page news in every local newspaper in Germany. But if you ask the average person in the Department of Education what PISA is, they'll tell you it's a tower in Italy. It doesn't get that much attention here, but we ought to take it seriously.

Are Artificial Sweeteners Making Us Fat? Keri Glassman Weighs In
Posted by Integrative Nut... on September 23, 2014"People don't understand that artificial sweeteners make you gain weight, they do not make you lose weight." This is one of the most common nutrition myths that Integrative Nutrition visiting teacher Keri Glassman says "makes her shake" when she encounters it in clients.
With a new study from Nature in the news recently asserting that artificial sweeteners interfere with the friendly bacteria in our guts, thus causing our blood sugar to spike and potentially fueling the obesity and diabetes epidemic, hopefully she'll encounter this myth less frequently. However, as she explains in the video below, outdated dietary misconceptions abound!

Issue: June 2004
Protect Vegetables from Early Summer Stress
Heat, drought and pests make early summer a difficult time for New Mexico vegetable gardens.
Cool-season cole crops like broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage are especially vulnerable. In warm areas, broccoli heads brown, cauliflower flowers too quickly and cabbage heads crack.
To compensate, try planting these crops in late June or early July rather than spring. Crops planted later will mature in fall when it's cool, increasing crop quality. Keep seeds moist after planting to improve germination and emergence.
Cole crops are vulnerable to cabbage worm and cabbage looper. The latter is easily identified by its characteristic looping or inch-worm type crawl. Control these pests with a biological insecticide called Bacillus thuriengensis (BT).
Use organic mulches and drip irrigation to reduce heat stress on plants. Organic mulches like straw or grass clippings can cool the soil, reduce water evaporation and help control weeds. As organic mulches break down, they also release nutrients to the soil. In southern New Mexico, try placing white cloth tents over vegetables to shade them.
Drip irrigation is an efficient way to apply water to crops. Placed near the base of plants, water flows directly to roots rather than the alleys between crops. That helps prevent weed growth and makes it easier to stand between rows to harvest plants. Placing the drip line near the base of plants also helps keep salts in water and soil away from the plant, resulting in less salt damage to roots.
Crops like asparagus and sweet corn require extra nitrogen fertilizer in early summer. Asparagus production normally ends in late spring, when the average spear diameter is less than a quarter inch. As the spears form ferns, apply nitrogen fertilizer. Good fern development in the summer will replenish carbohydrates in the root systems for optimal spear production next spring.
Young corn plants require extra nitrogen in early June for best growth. Make a shallow trench 5 to 6 inches wide beside plants. Scatter nitrogen fertilizer in the trench. Cover with soil and irrigate immediately. Application levels will depend on soil analysis and the amount of nitrogen applied before planting.
To control weeds and insects, start early. It's easier to pull weeds when they're small. Insecticide is more effective against baby bugs than against tough adult insects. Read labels on all insecticides carefully before applying.

Foster shares early Majorca lead with Murphy
By Norman Dabell
PULA (Reuters) – Britain's Mark Foster shrugged off his
recent woes to take a share of the early first-round lead in
the Majorca Classic with a four-under-par 66 on Thursday.
Foster and Ireland's Gary Murphy held a one-shot lead over
2003 Pula winner Miguel-Angel Jimenez of Spain and Britons,
Paul Broadhurst and Sam Little.
Foster, winner of the 2003 Dunhill Championship after a
six-man playoff, has struggled with his form since his South
African victory.
He is currently 106th on the European money-list and this
should secure him his playing rights in 2006.
The top 116 on the money-list are assured of cards. All but
the top 60, who compete in next week's Volvo Masters, are
playing in their last tournament which count toward their

Reliability of low-priced spotter scopes.
It's time to finally face the need to buy one.
Can a scope with a retail price of around $100 be as durable as the much higher-priced series? A friend got one at Walmart for around this price. I've never looked in stores, just glances at prices on "GB". My range shooting is only 100 yards (might try 200 this spring, but not often: a partner is required), but being advised to move from Shoot-N -See targets to real NRA targets, my decent small binoculars might not be up to it. Are there very good quality scopes without going up in price? "Consumer Reports" had no results when searching for these. Oh well.. can always try the other websites.

My experience
In my experience it's not the reliability or the durability that suffers as the price goes down but the resolution suffers as the price goes down. So you end up with a scope that has the magnification you wanted but can't see small details like if your spotting targets you might not be able to see hits in the black as well as a higher quality optic will.

Buzzard Bait has it right on. I've got the cheap 20-60 power Bushnell and it is really only good for about 100 to 150 yds. On my 30 cal rifles, I could maybe see hits out to about 200 but definately nothing beyond that with any real clarity.

I have a cheap Russian spotting scope (says "tourist" on it in russian, lol). Cost me about $40 maybe 12 years ago. 30 power.
On a day with decent light, I can make out .223 holes at 100, in the black. At 200, I can see .308 holes, but only the ones in the white. If I were still shooting Service Rifle, I'd get a better one. Also, if you're shooting matches with it, a 45 degree eyepiece makes a world of difference. Probably better for a hunting scope as well, it's easier to line up with the game or target. |

I've been using a Winchester 50x spotter for about 6 years. It's good to 150 yds. At the time I bought it I didn't have good glass on my guns, so I felt that I needed the spotter, but I had nothing else to compare it to.
What I learned: Don't scrimp on optics, period. Buy the best glass you can afford. I learned that with good optics I really didn't need a spotting scope. If you can't do that, then upgrade when you can. Spend once, have it for life.

Ghrelin and the differential regulation of des-acyl (DSG) and oct-anoyl ghrelin (OTG) in human adipose tissue (AT)
Kos, K., Harte, A. L., O'Hare, J. Paul, Kumar, S. and McTernan, P. G. (Philip G.). (2009) Ghrelin and the differential regulation of des-acyl (DSG) and oct-anoyl ghrelin (OTG) in human adipose tissue (AT). Clinical Endocrinology, Vol.70 (No.3). pp. 383-389. ISSN 0300-0664
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2265.2008.03321.x
Objectives Ghrelin, an important central acting orexigenic hormone, is predominantly secreted in the gastrointestinal tract. However little is known about the action of ghrelin in human adipose tissue (AT).
Aim To study the expression of ghrelin in AT, the effects of octanoyl–(OTG) and des-acyl (DSG) ghrelin on lipolysis and lipogenesis, leptin release and potential peripheral signalling through the Y1 receptor.
Methods Ex vivo human AT was obtained from women undergoing elective surgery (46 (mean ± SD) 6·8 years, body mass index (BMI): 25·6 ± 5·0 kg/m2, n = 20). Abdominal-subcutaneous (AbdSc) adipocytes were isolated and treated with recombinant human (rh) OTG and DSG to assess lipid metabolism leptin release and the influence of Y1-receptor blocker.
Results Ghrelin was expressed in AbdScAT and negatively correlated with BMI (lean: 3·6 ± 0·74 optical-density-units (OD), obese: 1·64 ± 0·45OD, *P < 0·05). Only DSG significantly suppressed glycerol release (Control (C): 286 ± 58 µl/l; DSG 1 nm: 224 ± 38 µl/l↓*; DSG 100 nm: 172 ± 13 µl/l↓*,*↓P < 0·05, n = 7) and reduced hormone sensitive lipase expression (C: 1·0 ± 0·3OD; DSG 1 nm: 0·8 ± 0·3OD↓*; DSG 100 nm: 0·6 ± 0·1OD↓*, n = 4). However, both isoforms increased lipoprotein lipase expression (C: 1·0 ± 0·3OD; DSG 100 nm: 0·2 ± 0·4OD↑*; OTG 100 nm: 2·5 ± 0·3OD↑*, n = 4), whilst blockade of Y1 eliminated this effect in both. Leptin was down-regulated by DSG only (DSG 1 nm: 5·3 ± 0·7 ng/ml; DSG 100 nm: 4·1 ± 0·7 ng/ml*) and was significant after BMI adjustment (P = 0·029).
Conclusion Ghrelin was expressed in human AbdSc AT. In vitro, both OGT and DSG appear to mediate fat deposition with the lipogenic effects in part mediated by the Y1 receptor, whilst the influence of DSG affected lipolysis, lipogenesis and leptin secretion. Taken together, these studies support a local action for ghrelin isoforms on lipid and adipokine metabolism that further supports a cross talk between organs.

| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
A predefined cursor that looks like a human hand with one finger
pointing at the current mouse cursor position. The value is actually a
cursor handle, but only on GTK. The value is nil
on Windows, where there is no built-in hand
Rather than using this variable, the platform-independent way to
obtain a hand cursor is to call find-cursor on the symbol
. This will return a CG cursor object
on all platforms. (On GTK it will use GTK's built-in hand cursor,
while on Windows it will use a pixmap supplied by Franz.)

Palestinians ride boats in a preparation ceremony to receive the international aid convoy "Freedom Flotilla" in Gaza Seaport, on May 30, 2010. (Xinhua/Yasser Qudih)
About 200 people gathered in front of the Israeli embassy in Ankara on Monday morning, chanting slogans and waving Turkish and Palestinian national flags, Xinhua witness saw.
Another group of people also protested against the attack in front of the Israeli Consulate General in the Turkish city Istanbul on Monday.
Meanwhile, a Turkish humanitarian aid organization said they lost contact with the ships carrying aid to Gaza after 8:00 a.m. on Monday morning, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.
Resat Baser, an official with the Human Rights and Freedoms Humanitarian Aid Foundation, said they had received information that the ships were taken to Israel's Haifa Port but could not confirm the information.
Anatolia also said Turkish ministers and high-level officials convened early on Monday after the attack.
Israeli forces on Monday attacked the international convoy of aid ships when trying to stop the flotilla from reaching Gaza, killing up to 16 and wounding more than 30 others, Israeli media reported.

Dan, it is great. It is pretty hard to take LF on the ride. I had difficulty even with an RZ67 many years ago because you are horsing it up and down a ladder on the side of the train. You can easily use LF in the start area where I have seen three Shay engined trains line up for a drag race. Wait for it.
Some times they allow photographers in the restoration area which is really neat if you don't mind long exposures. It is mighty beautiful up on the mountain top.

FOXNews.com - Electric Nissan to Cost Just $25G Nissan announced Tuesday that it will sell its upcoming electric car, the LEAF, for $32,780. After a federal tax credit of $7,500 that is available to all buyers, the five-door hatchback will cost just $25,280, several thousand dollars less than the average transaction price of a car sold in the United States. When it goes on sale in late 2010, the LEAF is expected to be the only all-electric five-passenger car from a major manufacturer that is capable of being driven on the highway. As a pure-electric vehicle, the LEAF will have range of just 100 miles per charge, limited by the size and expense of the lithium-ion battery pack. On a 220-volt outlet, a full charge takes about eight hours, but Nissan says that an available quick charger can replenish the batteries to 80% capacity in about 30 minutes. Put your 220 volt outlet in your garage now. Just in time for football season. Be the first in the neighborhood. No reports of stuck accelerators.
Let my Fred's Posse Ride: Georges, 3sus, Hallice, Deonte, Dustin, Abdel, Monte, Matt, and McKaT.
Could be interesting. Makes me wonder if "battery memory" is still an issue or not (i.e. if you don't fully charge/discharge the battery on a routine basis, it will slowly lose how much of a charge it will hold) This isn't something you exactly want to run down until it dies like a cell phone battery and then plug it in...
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State, and may her colors ever fly!!! In Accordance with Prophecy

Get advice on healthy eating, nutrition, and weight loss from expert dietitian Tara Gidus.
See all posts »Is Fresh Better Than Canned or Frozen?
While fresh fruits and vegetables are good, they often sit in my crisper drawer and rot. The biggest food cost is when food is wasted and not eaten. That is why I love frozen vegetables so much. They can sit in my freezer for weeks or months, just waiting for their chance to debut and get microwaved for dinner.
Am I sacrificing good nutrition for those frozen veggies instead of getting fresh? Not at all.
First let me point out that any way you will get them, eating your fruits and veggies is a good idea. Research supports that frozen and canned fruits and veggies can be just as healthy as fresh. And sometimes they are actually healthier. When they are picked at their peak of of ripeness, they are also at their peak of nutritional value. Fruits and veggies that are going to be frozen or canned are picked by the company at their peak of flavor and nutritional quality.
A few tips when choosing which frozen and canned to get:
- Avoid fruits canned or frozen in syrups or with added sugar. Look for packed in it's own juice or if it says unsweetened.
- Look for varieties that have no salt added or are reduced in sodium.
- Choose veggies with no sauce or made with a low-fat sauce.
- Dried fruit can also be a great option but look for those without added sugar.
Check out this new video from the American Dietetic Association for more tips on canned and frozen produce.http://assets.delvenetworks.com/player/loader.swf

Another campground that is difficult to rate. We loved being on the Greenbrier Trail so we could hop on our bikes and take off. The nature of the WV mountains were gorgeous. However, the park was less than 25% full the days we were there just prior to Labor Day and most sites were marked reserved. Reserved for whom? Long drive in and long drive out, but very scenic. We are glad we stopped but might camp at another trailhead next time. Trail was great though. We were in River Bend section. - busyteach
This State Park is a gem. There are two campgrounds, Riverside and Beaver Creek. We stayed at Riverside which is on the Greenbrier River. Everything is kept-up and in working order. The bathrooms are clean and the showers work well. There are two dish washing stations at each bath house with lots of hot water available. The Greenbrier rail-trail is 1.5 miles from Riverside Campground. A steep one mile trail winds it's way from the campground up the mountainside through Rhododendron and Mountain Laurel thickets to a lovely overlook of the surrounding mountains. The Greenbrier River is clean, clear, shallow and ideal for leisurely tubing or canoeing. There are enough hiking, biking, and water activities within a few miles to keep a person busy all summer. We will return to this spot. - geysergazer
Wonderful State Park. We camped here in order to ride our Harley through the area. We were not disappointed. The park was well tended, clean, and quite. We liked the river campgrounds better than Beaver Creek. The area offers much to do, Cass Railroad,Bear Town (a must see), The Green Bank observatory, Seneca Lake and many trout streams, Cranberry Glades, Droop Mountain (a civil war battlefield), a a wonderful scenic highway. If you are a biker this is a wonderful place to spend a weekend. We will go back. - bonnieblue
