Nephew of San Juan islanders injured by IED in Afghanistan
-- This version corrects references to the hospital name and address
Marine Lance Cpl. Christopher Billmyer, nephew of Steve and Bobbi Billmyer of Friday Harbor, was injured in an IED explosion in Afghanistan Oct. 23.
"They had to amputate both of his legs above the knee," Mrs. Billmyer wrote in an e-mail Oct. 24. "He will go to Germany, then (Bethesda) ... Please keep Chris and his family in your prayers."
Billmyer is assigned to U.S. Marine Corps 3/5 L Company. He is at least the fifth service member with local ties injured since the U.S. sent military forces to Afghanistan and Iraq in 2003; two others were killed in action.
It's not known exactly how many islanders or people with island ties are serving in the military in Afghanistan and Iraq. But Minnie Knych, a local advocate for military personnel serving overseas, said 10 people are on the list for local care packages.
"It's a horrible thing for the family to have to go through," said Knych, whose nephew, Army Sgt. Buzz Robertson, was injured in 2005 when his up-armored Humvee hit a mine in Iraq. "What helps is sending cards and letters. When Buzz was at Walter Reed, he and his wife would open his mail together daily. When you're laying there in a hospital bed, it gives you something to do and it helps to know you're not alone."
To send a card or letter to Lance Cpl. Billmyer, write:
LCPL Christopher Billmyer
National Naval Medical Center
Wisconsin Avenue
Bethesda, MD 20889
Knych said Billmyer will likely be at Bethesda for a while, followed by physical therapy at a military hospital near where he was inducted.
Other local casualties and injuries since 2003:
— Sgt. Michael Bitz, the son and grandson of San Juan islanders, was killed March 23, 2003 when he and other Marines were attacked by Iraqi soldiers that had pretended to surrender.
— In December 2003, Army Warrant Officer Carrie McLeish of Friday Harbor was injured in a vehicle collision in Tikrit.
— Marine Pvt. 1st Class Cody Calavan, grandson of Shaw islanders, was killed in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, May 29, 2004.
— On Aug. 25, 2005, Army Sgt. Richard (Buzz) Robertson and his Special Operations unit was in an up-armored Humvee when it hit a mine. Several of the men died. Robertson was believed to be on his fourth mission in Iraq. He is now a security consultant at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a counselor for military personnel with spinal cord injuries.
— On May 1, 2009, Army Sgt. Tom Bauschke of Friday Harbor was struck by shrapnel when his unit came under surprise attack from Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. He received the Bronze Star.
— In September 2010, Army Specialist Ryan Buckley, 33, was injured in Afghanistan when a truck drove into him while he was unloading a Black Hawk helicopter; the impact broke his femurs and knee caps.
Local volunteers accept donations for care packages on the first Saturday of the month, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., at Friday Harbor MarketPlace. Care packages are prepared for mailing on the following Wednesday.
To donate or help, or to add someone to the care package list, call Knych, 378-4662 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Stayed here due to the close proximity to the Muncie 70.3 race. Mostly seasonal campers. The daily RV sites have only a 30 amp outlet and water hookup. They are generally narrow, unlevel and scattered with trash. Can't figure why folks don't pick up after themselves because there are large trash cans every couple sites. The grass isn't mowed often. They have primitive tent site closer to the one bathroom/shower. Although the bathroom is old it was fairly clean. The staff is friendly and helpful although they allowed another RV to take the site I'd reserved because they were staying longer and they said our 40ft would fit on a site that was made for a 20ft. This isn't a place you would come to "camp" but if you're coming to race or boat/fish it fits the bill for an overnight or two. We camped at Prairie Creek Reservoir in a Fifth Wheel.

Dave Rowe:
I want to give Dave Rowe, ECE building operations manager, a "Thumbs Up" because he was a big part of what made the ECE Student Welcome Back Lunch such a huge success. Whatever I needed done Dave was there to do. He set up tables, the cotton candy maker and the dunk tank, he hauled things around and I even saw him sweeping the floors at one point. I can't thank him enough. Can't wait for next year! -- Kim Muldoon

(UPS: Quote) reported Tuesday a 29.3 percent decline in fourth-quarter profit, directly reflecting pension accounting charges. Adjusted earnings climbed from last year and topped Street projections. Quarterly revenues missed estimates, even though it increased on higher volumes. Looking ahead, the Package delivery giant expects higher earnings amid expectations for mixed global economic growth. The company also said it anticipates $2.7 billion in share repurchases for the year.Fourth-quarter net income fell to $725 million from $1.03 billion last year. Earnings per share declined 27.5 percent to $0.74 from $1.02 in 2010.The company said a newly applied change in pension accounting to a mark-to-market methodology resulted in charges of $527 million, compared to last year's $75 million.Adjusted net income, which excluded items, grew to $1.25 billion or $1.28 per share from last year's $1.07 billion or $1.06 per share, inclusive of change in pension accounting. On average, 25 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected earnings per share of $1.26 for the quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude one-time items.The company noted that the change in pension accounting improved fourth-quarter results by $0.03, while reduced prior year's results by $0.02.Kurt Kuehn, UPS's chief financial officer, said, "UPS achieved record earnings per share in a volatile global operating environment where trends varied by region. This was made possible by our balanced world-wide presence, broad portfolio of solutions and the best people in the business." Total revenues for the quarter increased 5.6 percent to $14.17 billion from $13.42 billion in 2010, while analysts estimated revenues of $14.45 billion.Operating margin declined to 8.4 percent from last year's 12.5 percent, while adjusted margin grew to 14.3 percent from 12.9 percent in 2010.During the quarter, UPS delivered 1.13 billion packages, up 3.6 percent, and average volume per day was 18.3 million, higher than 17.7 million last year.UPS noted that it delivered 480 million packages during the peak shipping season, driven by e-commerce.Segment-wise, U.S. Domestic Package revenues climbed 7.3 percent due to more than 7 percent volume surge during peak season. Robust internet shopping activity resulted in a 3.8 percent increase in average daily volume.International revenue rose 3.5 percent, with export volume improving 4.5 percent, surpassing 1 million pieces on an average daily basis for the first time in UPS history. This was driven by European exports and strong intra-regional growth in Asia, the company said. Supply Chain & Freight revenues rose 2.1 percent. UPS chairman and CEO Scott Davis commented that the quarter was a 'testament to the power of UPS's global model and the company's ability to operate efficiently in evolving markets.' Looking ahead for 2012, the company said it expects earnings per share to be within a range of $4.75 to $5.00, an increase of 9 percent to 15 percent over adjusted 2011 results. Analysts expect earnings of $4.77 per share.Kuehn said the company's expectations for the year are for mixed economic growth around the world, with modest improvement in the U.S. However, UPS projects another strong year of earnings.'UPS shares are currently trading at $76.15 in pre-market activity, up $0.76 or 1 percent. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: email@example.com News

Supracrestal Gingival Tissue Measurements in Healthy Human Periodontium
Eliane Porto Barboza, CD, MScD, DScD/Raul Feres MonteAlto, CD, MO/Vinícius Farias Ferreira, CD/Waldimir Rocha Carvalho, CD, MO
DOI: 10.11607/prd.00.0779
This randomized, blinded study compared, contralaterally, the dimensions of supracrestal gingival tissue (SGT) in healthy human periodontium. Sulcular probing reaching the crestal bone was performed in 100 dental students (400 teeth [first molars and second premolars] and 1,600 sites). Contralateral measurements were statistically analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. SGT measurements ranged from 1.0 to 6.0 mm. Contralateral measurements showed no statistical difference (P = .096). Measurement of SGT contralaterally prior to crown lengthening or restorative procedures may dictate the needed amount of bone removal or tooth preparation into the sulcus.

Posted | Discussion |
June 4, 2011 L A 29 Men's 50 22 posts | fair or foul ball pop fly down left field line.SS tries to make the play.Ball tips off his glove and lands in foul territory. When he touched the ball he was stradling foul line. Fair or foul ball ??? I thought no matter where player is when he touches the ball didn't matter but only where ball lands is what matters.Anyone out there with the proper interpertation of this rule,if so can you help me out with this one. |
June 4, 2011 salio2k Men's 60 548 posts | If the ball was foul when it hit his glove, it is still a foul ball. |
June 4, 2011 tg69 326 posts | Its the position of the ball when it was touched,not the player. |
June 5, 2011 Gary19 Men's 50 2615 posts | No way of knowing from this description. Where the fielder was, or where the ball landed, have nothing to do with it. It is just where the ball was when it was touched. That is the only determining factor. |
June 6, 2011 stick8 1343 posts | Salio2k, tg69 and Gary19 are all correct. It's the spot where the fielder touches the ball, not where it lands. |
June 6, 2011 jim16 Men's 65 177 posts | Fair or foul is always the position of the ball, never the position of the fielder. |
June 6, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 3973 posts | had one called this weekend in reno that really puzzled me.i was on 3rd,foot up against the dugout side of the bag(i guess you can say foul side),batter hits ball that bounces about 25' in front of me a foot fair,goes by me at third still a foot in fair territory and than hooks foul about 30 past the bag,blue calls it foul,oh i never moved my foot from the side of the bag......... |
June 6, 2011 Omar Khayyam 1037 posts | mad dog, no puzzle here. Ump blew it. |
June 6, 2011 Joncon 289 posts | Mad dog. Who had a better angle on the play? You at 3B or the ump standing right in line? If you were standing right on the bag and you looked straight up to see the path clearly in fair territory, you might have a point. The bag was at the halfway point between where it first hit fair and where it landed foul. Logic says that it was a very close call and would be deffered to the one with the better angle (as well as the one designated to make the call :) ) |
June 6, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 3973 posts | joncon,once the ball hits fair territory and reamians fair going past the bag,doesn't matter where it goes after that.i would say we both had the same view from opposite ends(we were looking straight at each other).i had the ball go by me while i was still touching the bag and it went by me in fair territory,nothing hard about that call to me. well i scored a pitch later and asked him how come,he said the ball never bounced between me and the plate and went by me as a line drive,with that explaination there was nothing else to be said,he didn't see it bounce.oh well |
June 6, 2011 Joncon 289 posts | """he said the ball never bounced between me and the plate and went by me as a line drive""" Well....thats a bit different. I was just saying that, if it was a line drive that hit and hopped 55', you were probably ducking for cover and not in the best position to make the fair/foul call. If the ump didn't see it hit the ground, that's pretty sad. Was the umps name Dan? :) |
June 6, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 3973 posts | no joncon i never moved,the ball went by me and i was never really in any danger of being hit,persay.i don't know the umps name,but we talk of couple of seconds after i scored and he said he didn't see it hit the ground,and like i said,once he said that,there was no arguement to be had,as he was right with his seeing of the play.not sure how he missed it not bouncing,but hey we all brain fart sometimes.seen one ump this weekend call a strike on a pitch that was 8-10" past the mat,and took a couple of seconds to correct himself,both teams had a good laugh on it,actually even the ump did.ya should of seen the batters face tho,it was priceless..LOL.... |
June 7, 2011 neck10 545 posts | the only time the fielders position comes into play if he were to be standing out of bounds and (touch)catch the ball then it doesnt matter where the ball is you have to be in play,and that umps name was probably swanny |
June 7, 2011 doker Men's 60 168 posts | HEY NECK10....IT'S STILL THE POSITION OF THE BALL WHEN TOUCHED NOT FIELDERS POSITION..... |
June 10, 2011 Webbie25 Men's 60 2029 posts | doker-a player cannot be standing out of bounds and make a play. |

Oona O'Neill
Oona O'Neill | |
O'Neill in Santa Barbara, California in 1943
Born | Warwick Parish, Bermuda |
14 May 1925
Died | 27 September 1991 Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland |
(aged 66)
Cause of death
Pancreatic cancer |
Spouse(s) | Charlie Chaplin (m. 1943; died 1977) |
Children | Geraldine Chaplin (b. 1944) Michael Chaplin (b. 1946) Josephine Chaplin (b. 1949) Victoria Chaplin (b. 1951) Eugene Chaplin (b. 1953) Jane Chaplin (b. 1957) Annette Chaplin (b. 1959) Christopher Chaplin (b. 1962) |
Parent(s) | Eugene O'Neill (1888–1953) Agnes Boulton (1893–1968) |
Oona O'Neill Chaplin (May 14, 1925 – September 27, 1991) was the daughter of Nobel- and Pulitzer-Prize-winning American playwright Eugene O'Neill and English-born writer Agnes Boulton, and the fourth and last wife of English actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin.
O'Neill's parents divorced when she was four years old, after which she was raised by her mother in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, and very rarely saw her father. She first came to the public eye during her time at the Brearley School in New York City in 1940–1942, when she was photographed attending fashionable nightclubs with her friends Carol Marcus and Gloria Vanderbilt. In 1942, she received a large amount of media attention after she was chosen as "The Number One Debutante" of the 1942–1943 season at the Stork Club. Soon after, she decided to pursue a career in acting and, after small roles in two stage productions, headed for Hollywood.
In Hollywood, O'Neill was introduced to Chaplin, who considered her for a film role. The film was never made, but O'Neill and Chaplin began a romantic relationship and married in June 1943, a month after she had turned 18. The 36-year age gap between them caused a scandal, and severed O'Neill's relationship with her father, who had already strongly disapproved of her wish to become an actress. Following the marriage, O'Neill gave up her career plans. She and Chaplin had eight children together and remained married until his death in 1977. The first decade of their marriage was spent living in Beverly Hills, but after Chaplin's re-entry permit to the United States was canceled during a voyage to London in 1952, they moved to Manoir de Ban in the Swiss village of Corsier-sur-Vevey. In 1954, O'Neill renounced her American citizenship and became a British citizen.
Following Chaplin's death, she split her time between Switzerland and New York. She died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 66 in Corsier-sur-Vevey in 1991.
Early life (1925–1942)[edit]
Oona O'Neill was born on May 14, 1925, in Bermuda, where her parents had relocated to six months before her birth in the hopes that it would be a good place to write during the winter.[1] She also had an older brother, Shane Rudraighe O'Neill (1919–1977).[2] Both of her parents also had children from previous relationships, Eugene O'Neill, Jr. and Barbara Burton, but they did not live with the family and O'Neill saw them only occasionally during her childhood.[3]
O'Neill's early childhood was spent between Bermuda, where the family spent winters and in 1926 purchased a house, Spithead (originally the home of privateer Hezekiah Frith), and various places on the East Coast of the United States.[4][note 1] Her parents' marriage had been for a long time strained by Eugene's alcoholism, and started to disintegrate after he had an affair with actress Carlotta Monterey while they were living in Belgrade, Maine in the summer of 1926.[5] He rekindled his romance with Monterey a year later, in the early autumn of 1927 during a trip to New York, and after briefly returning to Bermuda, separated from Agnes in November.[6] Agnes and the children stayed in Bermuda until the next summer, when they moved to her parents' old house in West Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Agnes was granted a divorce in Reno, Nevada, in July 1929, and three weeks later, Eugene married Monterey in France.[7]
After the divorce, O'Neill's childhood was mostly spent living with her mother and brother in West Point Pleasant and occasionally at Spithead, in which Agnes had a lifetime interest.[8] Although the divorce had granted joint custody, she seldom saw her father, and mainly communicated with him through letters, which were usually answered by Monterey.[9]
O'Neill first attended a Catholic convent school, but it was deemed unsuitable for her, and she was then enrolled at the Ocean Road Public School in Point Pleasant.[10] According to the divorce settlement both children were to attend top boarding schools from the age of 13 and, in 1938, O'Neill was sent to study at the Warrenton Country School in Warrenton, Virginia.[11] However, Agnes did not find the school satisfactory, and had her transferred to the Brearley School in New York for her sophomore year in 1940.[12]
At Brearley, O'Neill became a close friend of Carol Marcus, and through her also met Gloria Vanderbilt and Truman Capote.[13][note 2] Although still underage, they often spent time at popular nightclubs, and began to appear in the society pages of magazines. During this time, O'Neill also dated newspaper cartoonist Peter Arno and the still unknown J.D. Salinger.[15] In April 1942, during her senior year at Brearley, she was crowned as "The Number One Debutante" of the 1942–1943 season at the Stork Club.[16] The event gained a large amount of publicity around the country, and she received offers from film studios and modelling agencies.[17] The publicity infuriated her father, who used his contacts in Hollywood to prevent her from signing a film contract.[18][note 3]
Although she had been offered a place to study at Vassar College, O'Neill declined the offer and instead chose to pursue an acting career, despite her father's resistance.[20] She made her debut in a small supporting role in a production of Pal Joey at the Maplewood Theatre in New Jersey in July 1942.[21] However, the production was a flop and was cancelled after a two-week run.[22] Later that summer, O'Neill travelled to California with Carol Marcus, who was due to marry author William Saroyan.[23] During the trip, O'Neill briefly appeared in a production of Saroyan's play, The Time of Your Life, in San Francisco and unsuccessfully attempted to meet her father, who was living near the city.[24]
Marriage to Chaplin (1943–1977)[edit]
From San Francisco, O'Neill headed to Los Angeles, where her mother and stepfather were living.[25] She soon found herself a film agent, Minna Wallace, and made her first and only screentest, for Eugene Frenke's The Girl From Leningrad.[25] In October 1942, Wallace introduced her to Charlie Chaplin, who was looking for a lead actress for his next project, an adaptation of the play Shadow and Substance.[25] Chaplin found O'Neill beautiful but, at 17, too young for the role.[26] However, due to her and Wallace's persistence, he agreed to give O'Neill a film contract.[26]
Shadow and Substance was shelved in December 1942, but the relationship between O'Neill and Chaplin soon developed from professional to romantic.[26] On 16 June 1943, a month after O'Neill had turned 18, they eloped and married in a civil service in Carpinteria.[27] The ceremony was witnessed only by Chaplin's studio secretary, Catherine Hunter, and friend and assistant, Harry Crocker.[27] Crocker photographed the event for gossip columnist Louella Parsons, to whom Chaplin had given exclusive rights to publicize news of the marriage in the hopes that she would write a more positive article about it than her rival, Hedda Hopper, who strongly disliked him.[27] The elopement received a large amount of media attention due to the 36-year age gap between O'Neill and Chaplin, and because his ex-girlfriend, Joan Barry, had filed a paternity suit against him only two weeks earlier. Although Agnes had given the union her blessing, it cemented O'Neill's estrangement from her father, who disowned her and her issue and refused all future attempts of reconciliation.[28][note 4]
Following the marriage, O'Neill gave up her career plans and settled into the role of housewife. She rarely spoke in public, but in 1952 commented that she was "happy to stay in the background", and help Chaplin where needed.[30] They spent the first nine years of their marriage living in Beverly Hills and had the first four of their eight children, Geraldine Leigh (b. July 1944), Michael John (b. March 1946), Josephine Hannah (b. March 1949) and Victoria (b. May 1951), during this time.[31] Although she focused on her home and children, O'Neill also spent time at the studios if Chaplin was working. He often consulted O'Neill for her opinion. She also acted as a stand-in for lead actress Claire Bloom in Limelight (1952), when a scene had to be reshot after filming had wrapped, and Bloom was already working on another project.[32]
The 1940s and 1950s were a difficult time for Chaplin in the United States, where he was accused of Communist sympathies and was investigated by the FBI.[33] In September 1952, while travelling with O'Neill and their children to London for the premiere of Limelight on board the Queen Elizabeth, his re-entry permit was revoked.[34] The family soon decided to move permanently to Europe, and in November 1952, O'Neill flew back to the US to transfer Chaplin's assets to European bank accounts and to close up their house and the studio.[35] In early January 1953, they moved to their new home, Manoir de Ban, a 14-hectare (35-acre) estate[36] in the rural village of Corsier-sur-Vevey in Switzerland. The following year, O'Neill renounced her American citizenship, and became a British citizen.[37]
While living in Switzerland, the Chaplins added four more children to their family: Eugene Anthony (b. August 1953), Jane Cecil (b. May 1957), Annette Emily (b. December 1959) and Christopher James (b. July 1962).[31] When Chaplin's health gradually started to fail in the late 1960's, and early 1970's, he became increasingly dependent on Oona's support. He died at the age 88 on 25 December 1977, and was buried two days later; in March 1978, O'Neill became the victim of an extortion plot. Chaplin's coffin was stolen from his grave by two unemployed mechanics, Roman Wardas and Gantcho Ganev, who unsuccessfully demanded a ransom from O'Neill in exchange for the body.[38] The pair were caught in a large police operation two months later, and Chaplin's unopened coffin was reinterred, having been found buried in a field in the nearby village of Noville.[38]
Later life and death (1978–1991)[edit]
Following Chaplin's death, O'Neill divided her time between Switzerland and New York.[39] In 1981, she appeared in a minor supporting role in Broken English, but otherwise avoided publicity. According to unofficial biographer Jane Scovell and ex-daughter-in-law, Patrice Chaplin, O'Neill was an alcoholic. In the late 1980's she returned permanently to Manoir de Ban, becoming almost a recluse.[40] She died at the age of 66 of pancreatic cancer in Corsier-sur-Vevey and was buried next to her husband in the village cemetery.
In her last will, O'Neill, who was a prolific writer of diaries and letters during her life, ordered that all her writings be destroyed, and never published.[41]
O'Neill is portrayed by Moira Kelly in Richard Attenborough's 1992 biographical film of Charlie Chaplin, Chaplin. On stage, she has been portrayed by Ashley Brown in Limelight: The Story of Charlie Chaplin at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego in 2010, and by Erin Mackey in the production's Broadway version, Chaplin – The Musical, in 2012.[42][43] She is also one of the main characters in French author Frédéric Beigbeder's novel Oona & Salinger (2014), which is loosely based on her short romance with author J.D. Salinger in the 1940s.

How do you pick a size of bike to ride??
OK, I'm confused as to how you go about finding what size of bike to get and to ride. I'm sort of short 5'2" and light 110lbs so I figure a smaller bike(ie XR200) would be about right. But I just found out the some pro-riders that ride 250 are smaller then me?? So how do I figure out which bike I can handle and ride. I would like to get a dual sport(ie XR400) but figure that would be to big. I want a bike that will climb hills, be good on mountain trails, and praire running, maybe some motorcross but not much. So what should I look for? Can I test ride bikes before I buy? What bike would work for a around town if I felt like riding it. I realize this alot of stuff but any help would be appricated as no one else seems to know anything. I have ridden before and quite a bit before I crashed and havn't riden since then cause of the lack of safety equipment. Thanks all.

as for what you want to ride, go to a riding area and ask around if anyone will let you try thier bike out for a while. most dirtbikers are nice and will let you if you dont look like a hillbilly  but seriously, im taller than you(like 5'9") and i ride a kx250. it works for me but you want a dual sport so forget that, my advice would be like i said before,go out and ride other bikes,most if not all dealers,wont let you test ride bikes for insurance reasons. i wouldnt rule out a suzuki dr though, they are good on the trails,dont know about street.honda xrs are probly the best starter bikes(you said you rode a long time ago) and they can be made dual purpose too. now if you were going to be a strict dirt rider then i would say kdx200/220,yzf250. if you change your mind to just ride dirt then get back to me. hope i helped some

Wow, Thanks Brad. Who makes the KDX200/220?? I know the other is Yamaha. So how big of a bike do you need for a dual sport? And what is needed to make a bike dual sport. I'm talking just around town, no highwyas if I didn't ride the dirt. Ok so I know the pro ride 250 but I have seen these bikes and there are huge, taller then four strokes, so how do these short guys touch the ground( you do have to be able to do this, right?) when they arn't moving. Like at a starting gate or just waitin around. Thanks for the help.

but back to the dual sport thing(sorry got sidetracked)
anyway i think the requirements are blinkers brakelight/taillight headlight horn battery operated electrical system i would like i said before stick with a honda xr, baja designs makes dual sport kits or you can buy them with the kits already on.id say xr200/250/maybe even 400. ya never know what you might want to do with it in the future, if you go all dirt with a 400 it would rock, all street would be pretty good too.

Try to ride as many bikes as possible.
Just bought my wife 5'4" an XR 200. She had never ridden before so I was afraid it might be a bit big for her. Then after she started riding it I was really happy I didn't start her on an XR 100. Woulda been way too small for her just hours after riding it around. I rode her bike and felt right at home on it but needed more power. I am 5'7" tall. I am wanting to get an XR 400 but thought it might be too big for me. So I rode an XR 650r and was amazed at how comfortable I was on it. Almost to much power for me and a little too big for the tight trail stuff. XR 400 is gonna be perfect for me. See if you can ride an xr 200 it may be a little cumbersome for you at first but I am sure you would get used to it.
It was even more of a turn on when I found out she was doing me to buy baby formula |

"In developing nations, people boost their incomes by running ads by the popular search engine on their personal websites."
"Thanks to Adsense, a blogger in New Delhi can earn the same 5 cents for an ad-click as a blogger in Detroit. For many Adsense users in the developing world, that opportunity has become perhaps the most unintentional - and most successful - development program to spring from the online revolution."
Are you a Malaysian or Indian or south-east Asian/south Asian person looking to make a little money (or a lot) on the Internet? If making money on the Internet is something you are interested in, then one of the many options you have available before you, is making money using the Google Adsense program. The quotes above come from a recent article in the Christian Science Monitor called Google's Hidden Payroll... and the gist was basically that people living in the developing world are the biggest winners from the Google Adsense program. Reading it makes me almost wish that I had been born in the Developing World, so I could find my dream role in life by writing homepages which utilise Google Adsense. According to the article, which was written by Carolyn O'Hara and Travis Daub:
"Dr. Rodolfo Rafael, who owns a small medical clinic in San Fabian, Philippines, says the Adsense earnings from his medical website allow him to 'dream big' and reinvest in his medical practice.
"Their experiences are shared across the developing world. In Cairo, Mohamed Sallam was grounded for health reasons from his job as an airline steward, and he now spends time maintaining a Web forum devoted to discussions of Islam. He earns most of his income, about $500 a month, from Adsense.
"'The low cost of living here allows us to live comfortably on that income,' he says. 'My two sons want to try their luck. We have a high unemployment rate here and making money from Adsense would be the perfect solution for them.'
"Deepesh Agarwal, who runs a small cybercafe in Rajasthan state, India, draws about 90 percent of his income, or $1,500 a month, from his Adsense earnings. It is a princely sum in a state where the average income is just $300 a year.
"'Adsense has changed my life,' Mr. Agarwal says. 'I can afford things that I was not able to before. I am planning to buy a new car. I can save for my future.'"
One Malaysian who has caught the Google Adsense bug, Kah Soon, wrote: "Wooooot!! I got my first $100 from adsense! After that long hard 3 months, at last i can taste the reward. Indeed this is the sweetest moment for me. In the beginning i was abit dissapointed because in the good day i would get is 1 or 2 click and fetch around $0.08 and in the bad day i would get no click at all. Those were the days when im still blogging in my blogspot.
"When i change to this site, everything change. I started to get more clicks and the earning increases steadily. How is this possible? Because of the increasing visitor and traffic. Want to know how all this started? Well i have to bring you back to where it beginsü: 3 months ago I was searching for webmaster forum in malaysia, because i want to join a webmaster forum and learn more from there. Actually i have to thanks to my final year project because if it wasnüft for that project then i wonüft have the interest in developing websites. So i came across a webmaster malaysia forum and i found an interesting section in the forum called Revenue. I spend alot of time reading each and every post there is in the section and i can tell you honestly that i learned alot from there."
Just like Kah Soon, I am a Google Adsense fanatic and a believer in its potential to generate new career paths and money streams and eventually new industries all over the world, and especially in Asia. Google changed my life, and it could change yours too. Imagine how cool it would be to be a teenager growing up in India or east Africa or Indonesia or Jamaica: you want to make it big but you are trapped in poverty. Many try to escape poverty physically crossing by crossing the politcal border into western countries, for example the millions of teeming who have crossed over into the United States of America in recent years. That is one practical application of globalization... setting up your own blog and harnessing advertising revenue on Google Adsense is another. Both of these approaches might net you a decent living and maybe even more.
c a m b o d i a n + e x p e r i e n c e ON FREQUENT TRIPS TO VIETNAM IN THE LATE 00s, I USED TO NOTICE THE HONDA ÔM GUYS SITTING ON THIER MOTORBIKES ON PRACTICALLY EVERY STREET CORNER, HUSTLING TO GET RIDES, AND WONDERED WHY THEY DIDN'T JUST SET UP BLOGS TO MAKE A LIVING INSTEAD. Granted, your average Vietnamese motorcycle taxi rider probably doesn't know much about computers and the Internet, let alone affiliate and contextual advertising! Doubtless, they would struggle with the idea that throwing stuff online (even an advertisement for their own chauffeur services) could earn them an ongoing income. So much more reliable, they probably think, just to hang out on the street all the day, hustling foreign tourists. That's real money; that's earning an honest buck! Google Adsense is not for them, then, but for the younger, more tech-savvy generations of Vietnamese, I believe it holds great potential. Those Honda ôm riders typically make a dollar for a one-kilometer trip; my old girlfriend N. used to earn US$400 a month in her job, and she was on her feet until midnight every day. US$400 a month from Adsense is more than doable, if you are prepared to work at it. And since Internet usage is booming in Vietnam, there ought to plenty of local advertisers.
Vietnam's close neighbour Cambodia is even poorer than Vietnam, one of the poorest countries in the world in fact, although it is developing fast. The Cambodian GDP is about US$1000 per capita, and the basic salary of a primary school teacher in the country is US$60 a month (I read that in the Phnom Penh Post.) For a digital nomad like myself, it would be a great place to hang out for a while, drinking iced coffees on the beach, and immersing myself in the local cultural and business scene. I'd never be able to live there as cheaply as a local, however, and for that I am a little envious. To help get into shape for my move I have been reading a number of Cambodian blogs, most notably KhmerBird, who seems to be king of the blog scene there. KhmerBird, otherwise known as Santel Phin, is the founder of 4-Hour Workweek Blogger, although his prodigious output suggests someone who works a lot longer than that! A few years ago KhmerBird proudly displayed a US$485.80 cheque from Google Adsense; I believe he is now earning enough from the program to support himself and his family. He is earning enough, in any case, to pay local writers to produce content for his site. He encourages Cambodians to join the Adsense revolution, even though ads are not currently displayed in Khmer script. "We donÆt have Khmer language to choose yet, I think the best way is to choose English, even your blog is written in Khmer or mix," KhmerBird advises in one post. i n d i a n + e x p e r i e n c e YOU SHOULD HAVE REALISED BY NOW THAT WHILE GOOGLE ADSENSE PROBABLY WON'T MAKE YOU A MILLIONAIRE (EXCEPT MAYBE A MILLIONAIRE IN CAMBODIAN RIEL!) IT CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH THE MONEY TO GET BY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. Perhaps no country is better poised to benefit from Google's advertising affiliate program, than India (with its low cost of living, English language proficiency and widespread computer and Internet access.) If you have a cybercafe in your town (and I have seen cybercafes in even the smallest villages in the mountains of Nepal -- they are everywhere on the subcontinent), then you ought to be down there everyday developing your homepage, or at the very least honing your computer and IT skills. Writing on Indian Pad, sagargemini claimed: "I can be a good case study for Google AdSense. I started this year, with the adSense account, working on it genuinly and now I am making atleast $100 per month! And I am confident that I will be crossing $200 pm soon. Whatever may be your monthly check received from Google, but let me say -> IT WORKS!" Stockmarketindia, another Indian, wrote: "Thanks Avaksi for good links. gd007, you can make as much as they have stated like $1000 pm. But it needs good devotion to the blogging and website building. Well, I am still earning 40-50% of what was mentioned in the article of Jayesh Gandhi (see the start of this story). I really think to plead Indian friends and people, to look into this seriously and donot lose this opportunty. Good to grab it asap, than repenting later. I really want to see atleast 10 Indian friends to reaping benefit outta it. Remember, even $200 makes much difference for Indian lifestyle and same makes good pocket money for Indians living abroad." According to the AccMan, Google AdSense is helping the relatively impoverished masses of India to enrich themselves (and maybe make a little extra on the side.) The AccMan reports: "I like the fact that Google pays the same amount to Adsense carriers regardless of their location. It means the $20 de minimus before you get paid is the equivalent to 80% of average earnings for someone living in Rajasthan. In other cases, Adesnse revenue represents 40-50% of monthly eanrings while others are claiming to earn $1-1,500 per month. That's extraordinary because to these people $20 is an incentive not chump change. "What is even more interesting is that ordinary men and women have been able to create vibrant Adsense driven sites. Thatüfs innovation for you. What have they learned about ad placement optimisation Adsense style that we might learn and pass on to our SME clients as a simple value add? What else might they be able to do for our SMEs because these people are clearly quick learners and tech savvy? How might we engage commercially with these folk in a safe manner? Maybe we should subscribe to Vinnie, even though he talks big business üecos maybe we can still learn from him? (I do because weüfre both SMEs.) "That's why it's important to have a sheaf of Indian blog sites on your blogroll or in your RSS feed reader. One of my very early readers was Arun of Forum4CA in India. Sadagopan is another I see a lot..." g o o g l e + c h e q u e s + t o + p a k i s t a n ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS FOR GOOGLE ADSENSE PARTICIPANTS LIVING IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES IS HOW TO RECEIVE THEIR CHEQUES -- AND HOW TO CASH THEM ONCE THEY GET THEM. Thankfully I live in downtown Tokyo and I have a Citibank account. The Google cheques sent to my house are Citibank cheques, so I can deposit them for free into my Citibank account -- I don't lose a cent. There are at least a couple of Citibank branches within walking distance of my house. I am luxky in this respect. Google AdSense participants living in downtown Rangoon or Tashkent (or Pakistan's tribal wildlands, for that matter) don't share the same luxuries -- although I envy them the fact they live in cheap countries, where it is possible to make a living solely off online advertising revenue. Nonetheless, for people living in the Developing World, the problem remains -- how to convert your clicks into cash. Good news could be at hand though -- as the venrable JenSense reports: "Google AdSense has gone a long way in making plenty of publishers extremely happy, coming hot on the heels of the announcement of the Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN). The new changes could be enough to keep some publishers from trying out the new YPN, that might have considered trying it otherwise. "If you are in one of 15 countries, you now have the option to join the beta payment option of direct deposit. If you reside in one of the supported countries, you just need to login to your AdSense account, and enter your banking information. Currently Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States are the countries supported by this. "Also, AdSense is now offering payments in home currencies to 43 different companies, which include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, and the United States. "This will save many publishers the high fees they were faced with paying for cashing US dollar checks in their home countries. If you would like your checks in your home currency, you just need to login to your account and specify it. "For the complete run down of all the changes (including the Terms of Service), you can read it here. Other assorted changes include Ad Links, which is a new ad format for publishers, and the fact that Google now allows you to disclose your check amounts. Who wants to go first by announcing how much they made last month ;)." g o o g l e + a d s e n s e + i n + u r d u + o r + a r a b i c ? IF YOU ARE RUNNING A BLOG OR WEBSITE IN ONE OF THE GREAT WEST ASIA LANGUAGES -- FOR EXAMPLE HINDI, URDU, PERSIAN OR THE AFOREMENTIONED KHMER -- YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING: CAN I ATTRACT GOOGLE ADS IN THE SAME LANGUAGE? The answer at the moment is no -- although that will probably change in the future. Make that read, that will definitely change in the future. According to Google:
"Google AdSense supports publishers in several different languages. Applications for participation in the program can be for sites with content primarily in: Chinese (simplified), Japanese,
Danish, Korean,
Dutch, Norwegian,
English, Polish,
Finnish, Portuguese,
French, Russian,
German, Spanish,
Hungarian, Swedish,
Italian, Turkish. "You can select your site's primary language during the application process. If you're approved, AdSense will serve relevant ads to your pages in the appropriate language, even if your site contains multiple supported languages. "Please also be aware that placing the AdSense code on pages with content primarily in an unsupported language is not permitted by the AdSense program policies." m i c r o + m a r k e t s On that note: it's funny how SEO tools like Google Analytics can reveal micromarkets, suggest new leadsĪ" and gravitationally warp the longtail of your blog or homepage. Back in 2004 after joining Google Adsense, I wrote a story called Russian Girls in Japan, about my flatmate's pushy Russian girlfriends. I didn't know squat about SEO at the time, but somehow it worked. Strangely enough, it was a throwaway piece completely devoid of any practical information (for example, where to meet Russian girls in Japan, the top hostess bars, etc), but it became virtually from Day One my most successful Adsense performer, with a high search engine ranking. Type in Russian Girls in Japan into Google, that page is at the top of the ranks... and has been for years. Last year, after signing up to Google AnalyticsĪ" I noticed some strange keyword combinations leading to my page, for example: "Russian girls in Bangkok", "meet Russian Girls in Silom", and so on. Not being aware that Russian girls had reached Thailand, in search of new riches, I realised I had a newly discovered micromarket on my hands. And micromarkets always generate micromoney for you, a small stream which might turn into a raging river if you give it long enough. Inspired to exploit this micromarket, I quickly developed a brand new homepage called Russian Girls in Bangkok. Unlike my previous effort, this site was supposed to be informativeĪ" packed with information that readers would actually be looking for... the popular bars for meeting Russian babes. Unlike my previous effort, this website was written to make money. But while a good search ranking was attainedĪ" ranks failed to convert into clicks. And on page loads, appropiate ads failed to appear at all. th=103>g e t t i n g + t h e r e | |||

SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING ARTICLE : Pay Per Click Bid Management Strategies (page 4)
Conclusion Before embarking on a PPC advertising campaign, determine the maximum CPC you're willing to pay for a given keyword phrase. Recognize that this value will change over time depending on your ad conversion rate, profit margins, advertising budget and other factors. Adopt different bidding strategies for Google and Overture. On either search engine, don't waste money bidding for the top spot. Examine the paid traffic coming to your site and tailor your bids to the search engines bringing the bulk of the traffic. In doing so, take advantage of bid gaps to save money.

Prevalence of Coccidia in Game-Farm Reared Pheasants in Iowa

Description | The problem. The present study was undertaken in order to obtain information concerning the kinds of coccidian species harbored by pheasants raised under game-farm conditions, and to determine the levels of infection of the coccidian species found. Procedure. Fecal samples collected from a mixed flock of 450 game-farm reared, adult ring-necked pheasants during a 20 week period beginning January 21, and ending June 3, 1973, were examined for coccidian oocysts. The number of oocysts per gm. of feces was determined for each week's sample by using a modified McMaster's helminth egg counting technique, and the proportion of the Eimeria species present in the block was determined by performing differential counts of the samples collected. One-hundred newly hatched pheasant chicks were also sampled for coccidian oocysts during a 5 week period beginning May 5, and ending June 3, 1973. The samples taken from the young birds were processed in a manner similar to that for the adult birds. Findings. Only four of the eight recognized species of Eimeria reported to infect the pheasant were found to be present in this study. They are Eimeria phasiani, E. pacifica, E. duodenalis, and E. tetartooimia. E. phasiani and E. pacifica were the most prevalent species in the adult birds each averaging 42.0 percent of the mean differential counts for the entire survey. E. tetartooimia and E. duodenalis were the next most prevalent species averaging 10.5 and 4.0 percent of the mean differential counts, respectively. E. phasiani, alone, dominated the differential counts of the samples taken from the young birds and occurred with 75.0 to 94.0 percent frequency. E. pacifica, E. tetartooimia, and E. duodenalis were the next most prevalent, respectively, all with percentages below 10. A small number of coccidian oocysts resembling those of Isospora lacazei were also found but these were considered to be contaminants from passeriform birds. Conclusions. As stated in the findings, four species of Eimeria and one of Isospora were found to be present in the ring-necked pheasants of this study. Oocyst production appeared to vary with the climatic conditions; if the climatic conditions were stable, the oocyst production was relatively stable, but if the climatic conditions were abruptly altered, the oocyst production appeared to increase. Immunity appeared to be well established in the young birds within 5 weeks after hatching and apparently a state of premunition existed within the hosts by this time. Recommendations. The epidemiological factors influencing coccidian infections are relatively unstudied. Investigations which attempt to analyze the influence of these factors on the etiology of coccidian infections should be of value not only from an academic point of view, but also from a practical point of view, namely, the control of the disease. | en_US |

Simple question for those who have played NCAA this year. 20 hours in preseason and 3 hours per week of scouting - Too Little? Just Right? Too Much? What's your opinion? Additionally, if you feel like posting some ideas on how this aspect could be done better, I'd love to hear it. I will try to get one of the bigwigs to pass the info along to the EA sports devs if they deem it relevant.
I think the 20hr in the preseason is good, but maybe 4 hours scouting during the week... or additional scouting time during BYE weeks would be good.
I think it would be better to pick which attributes you want unlocked. I dont want to know what the run blocking rating is for a HB.
It's funny you mentioned that, because that's what I was going to propose. Leave it as-is, but give people double the scouting time on a bye week. 20 hrs preseason 3 hrs/week 6 hrs/week on a bye
I actually really like that idea. I also would like to see the ratings not be 100% unlocked right away, and not always accurate, but that would create a need for more time and I have a feeling there are a ton of people who already feel like recruiting takes too long with the current model. I love recruiting for the most part though, so I'm probably a bit bias.
Doubling the bye Week time sounds good. Personally I think it should be 10 a week, but you should be recruiting a 3 to 4 year database. I mean Top tier programs in the game allow you to sign most guys well before the off season if you stay on top of it. Increasing the database to scout future prospects would give the game a more realistic feel. If you did this though I believe that each year a player you scout moves up, you should have to re-scout the player because people improve and falter. But being able to begin each season with your own board based on scouting, prior to the prospects senior seasons, would be great and make those seasons where you already have your board scouted by week 10 still useful, as far as scouting goes.
I like the idea of extra scouting time for your bye weeks. I have scouted anywhere from 10 to 22 guys needed to fill my seniors leaving. Never have I not had my scouting complete on my targets before the end of the season. And I usually have at least another 5+ guys on the list in case of any early departures. So, I think the overall amount of time we get is plenty, but that also depends on the number of athletes on your board. Those guys are a pain in the ass.


text: For defenseman T.J. Brennan, the 2011 Sabres Development Camp at Niagara University represented a return to a more conventional style of hockey training. The 22-year-old Brennan had spent the earlier part of the off-season working out with current and former members of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles."It was a little different training with some of the Eagles, but same type of stuff – a lot of power, agility and speed, real essential to today's game, especially with hockey," Brennan said. "I tried to fit it with Buffalo's (off-season training) program and it was a good atmosphere, a lot of competition, so it was a good experience."Brennan explained that he has a friend who plays professional lacrosse in Philadelphia who was involved in the training sessions with the group of professional football players and invited Brennan to come out. Once Brennan determined that the program would provide the necessary training he would need to prepare for the upcoming hockey season, the native of Willingboro, New Jersey decided to join in.Among the athletes with whom he trained were former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and current Eagles such as strong safety Quintin Mikell and defensive tackle Trevor Laws.Now that his fifth development camp with the Sabres organization has come and gone, the 6-foot-1, 202-pound Brennan plans to continue preparing for training camp in the fall.The upcoming 2011-12 season will be Brennan's third professional season. His first two were spent with the Buffalo Sabres' former American Hockey League affiliate, the Portland Pirates.In his second AHL season in 2010-11, Brennan posted 39 points on 15 goals and 24 assists in 72 games to rank second among all Portland defensemen in scoring behind only Marc-Andre Gragnani, who was awarded with the AHL's Eddie Shore Award as the league's Outstanding Defenseman . He also led all Pirates blue-liners with five power play goals. Buffalo's first pick (2nd round, 31st overall) in the 2007 Entry Draft, Brennan has 62 points and a +9 rating through his first two AHL seasons."When I'm playing real good defense, that's when I get the best offense. With my offensive abilities and instincts, it shows most when I'm playing good defense with confidence," Brennan said of his increased offensive production last season after recording 23 points (6-17-23) as a rookie. "I don't think I have the finesse of Drew Scheistel or Marc-Andre Gragnani, but I think I can be a real offensive threat. I think I have a good shot, especially when I hit the net; I think it creates a lot of offense."Prior to making his professional debut in October of 2009, Brennan spent three seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, including two with St. John's and one with Montreal.While he'll be involved in a heated competition for a spot on Buffalo's blue line in training camp – a competition that just became even tighter with the recent acquisitions of proven NHL defensemen Christian Ehrhoff and Robyn Regehr – Brennan acknowledged that players are excited about the renewed relationship between the Sabres and Amerks after hearing good things about the city from former teammates Mark Mancari and Marc-Andre Gragnani."I know there's a whole bunch of history and it's right down the street from Buffalo, so it'll be great. I'm excited. It will be tough leaving Portland, but I'm real excited for Rochester, it seems like a great town."

Catalytic Converters contain trace amounts of Platinum, Rhodium, Palladium, Aluminum, Copper and several other precious metals. Recycling your catalytic converter can be quite profitable for you. A catalytic converter should only be removed from a car that needs the converter replaced or a junk car headed to the scrap yard for scrap metal. Smog shops always keep your 'old' catalytic converter and then sell it to a recycler like us for a premium. The first thing a wrecking yard like Pick Your Part (www.pickyourpart.com) or Ecology Auto Parts and Wrecking (www.ecoparts.com) does is remove the catalytic converter because they are valuable. Why not sell it yourself to sellmyscrapcatalyticconverter.com?
We also recycle catalytic converters (also known as cat converters). Only about 48% of the catalytic converters are recycled today. Most are thrown in with regular scrap loads or left on the junk autos and vehicles. We service muffler shops, towing companies, salvage yards and recyclers of scrap metals just to name a few. We also buy all types of converters and catalysts for refining -- from stovepipes, ATVs, semi trucks, all the way up to industrial discharge stacks. This includes turbines and generators from power plants and other industrial catalyst. Catalytic converter recycling is fast becoming one of the most popular ways to dispose of your converter and make money at the same time.
We have been servicing San Diego, Palm Springs, Indio, Coachella, Los Angeles, and all cities in Riverside County, San Diego County, Orange County and Los Angeles County since 1996.
We have now also opened up in St Louis and can service Granite City, Edwardsville, Alton, Troy, Fairview Heights, Belleville, Kirkwood, Mehlville, Chesterfield, St Charles, Florissan, OFallon, Ballwin and beyond.
We have relationships with core buyers all over the United States and can match you up with a local presence if you don't want to ship your product. This is truly a great scenario for all involved: You get paid cash and recycling your scrap catalytic converter keeps the earth clean and diverts trash from our landfills.
Please feel free to call us today or leave us a number where we can call you!

$2,499 for LASIK Surgery for Both Eyes ($5,900 Value)
Dr. Motwani corrects eyesight by reshaping corneas with a Nidek laser during traditional LASIK surgery.
