A colloid is a type of mechanical mixture where one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another. Because of this dispersal, some colloids have the appearance of solutions. A colloidal system consists of two separate phases: a dispersed phase (or internal phase) and a continuous phase (or dispersion medium). A colloidal system may be solid, liquid, or gaseous. Many familiar substances are colloids, as shown in the below chart.
The dispersed-phase particles have a diameter of between approximately 5 and 200 nanometers. Such particles are normally invisible to an optical microscope, though their presence can be confirmed with the use of an ultramicroscope or an electron microscope. Homogeneous mixtures with a dispersed phase in this size range may be called colloidal aerosols, colloidal emulsions, colloidal foams, colloidal dispersions, or hydrosols. The dispersed-phase particles or droplets are largely affected by the surface chemistry present in the colloid.
Some colloids are translucent because of the Tyndall effect, which is the scattering of light by particles in the colloid. Other colloids may be opaque or have a slight color.
Colloidal systems (also called colloidal solutions or colloidal suspensions) are the subject of interface and colloid science. This field of study was introduced in 1861 by Scottish scientist Thomas Graham.
Colloids can be classified as follows:
|Dispersed Phase
|Continuous Medium
(All gases are mutually miscible)
Examples: fog, mist, clouds
Examples: smoke, air particulates
Example: whipped cream
Examples: milk, mayonnaise, hand cream
Examples: paint, pigmented ink
Examples: aerogel, styrofoam, pumice
Examples: gelatin, jelly, cheese, opal
Example: cranberry glass
In some cases, a colloid can be considered as a homogeneous, (not heterogeneous [meaning not the same]) mixture. This is because the distinction between "dissolved" and "particulate" matter can be sometimes a matter of approach.
Many hydrocolloids are derived from natural sources. For example, carrageenan is extracted from seaweed, gelatin has bovine (cow) and fish origins, and pectin is extracted from citrus peel and apple pomace.
Gelatin desserts like jelly or Jell-O are made from gelatin powder, another effective hydrocolloid. Hydrocolloids are employed in food mainly to influence texture or viscosity (e.g., a sauce).
Hydrocolloid-based medical dressings such as Duoderm are used for wound treatment and for acne.
Unstable colloidal suspensions of low-volume fraction form clustered liquid suspensions, wherein individual clusters of particles fall to the bottom of the suspension (or float to the top if the particles are less dense than the suspending medium) once the clusters are of sufficient size for the Brownian forces that work to keep the particles in suspension to be overcome by gravitational forces. However, colloidal suspensions of higher-volume fraction form colloidal gels with viscoelastic properties. Viscoelastic colloidal gels, such as toothpaste, flow like liquids under shear, but maintain their shape when shear is removed. It is for this reason that toothpaste can be squeezed from a toothpaste tube, but stays on the toothbrush after it is applied.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars' Keegan Allen Admits He Was Shocked That Toby Is "A" (VIDEO)
And then there were two.
After Tuesday's reveal on Pretty Little Liars that Toby Cavanaugh (Keegan Allen) is the betrAyer we've been waiting for, Janel Parrish (Mona Vanderwall) and Keegan addressed the shocker in a new video interview from ABC Family.
In the "A"-on-"A" interview, Keegan reveals that he has known about the twist since early on in the season. Clearly we underestimated his secret-keeping skills. Keegan says that when he first heard the news, he thought it was a joke. We wish!
But Keegan does agree with us on one thing: The twist was utterly shocking because Toby WAS the "most trustworthy character in Rosewood." Or was he? If he's been on the "A" team all along, was he ever trustworthy? Regardless, we miss the days when he at least seemed to be so trustworthy. Now that six-pack is tainted forever. What a waste.
Keegan goes on to discuss his first time in the hoodie and the ability to become an "anonymous evil shadow." It's all so creepy.
Our wounds need some more time to heal before we can discuss more "Toby is 'A'" drama. So as Keegan puts it at the end of the interview, "If you'll excuse us, we have some work to do."
However, our work doesn't involve betraying the person we love most. Oh, Toby. How could you?!
We can't go on. Watch the video for yourself below!
Catch the PLL Halloween special on Tuesday, October 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

By Mark Janssen
Kansas State's football camp reopened for business late last week, and will continue on a three- to four-day a week routine heading into the Christmas holidays, followed by a trip to New York City for the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 30.
Coach Bill Snyder said that practices during the next three weeks will be "piecemealed" around recruiting trips by coaches, final exams for the players, plus a couple days off for Christmas before returning to Manhattan for a Dec. 26 practice and departure for the Big Apple later that day.
Snyder said the work of the scout team this fall has been good, but like the rest of the roster, there has been a depth issue.
"When guys wear down they can't give you the real picture of what you want," said Snyder.
Headliners of that scout team this fall have been 6-foot-1, 223-pound junior linebacker Arthur Brown, a transfer from the Miami Hurricanes, and his younger brother Bryce, a 6-0, 213-pound sophomore running back making the move from Tennessee.
The Brown brothers, products of Wichita East High School, are believed to be the only tandem ever to receive 5-Star status by recruiting services.
Asked about where they might fit in for the 2011 season, Snyder admitted, "I think both can step in and play."
After registering over 460 tackles during his three-year career at East High, Arthur had only limited success with the Hurricanes with a total of 17 tackles in his two playing years when he played the weakside linebacker position as a freshman, and middle linebacker as a sophomore.
"He can run, he's physical, has good quickness and has a nose for the football," Snyder said. "Fundamentally, he's been a pretty good player in regards to being in a good football position and it appears he will be a good tackler, as well."
As a backup running back for the Vols in 2009, Bryce Brown rushed for 476 yards and scored three touchdowns.
With Wichita East, he was clocked at 4.32 in the 40, which helped him rush for 1,472 yards as a freshman, 2,039 as a sophomore, 1,825 as a junior, and 1,873 more yards in his senior season. Those numbers helped earn Brown the Hall Trophy that goes to the No. 1 prep player in the nation.
"Bryce has proven to be a multi-purpose back that can run the ball, plus work effectively in a passing game. He's also a more than adequate blocker," Snyder said. "He's not quite as big as Daniel (Thomas), but he's also not a small back. There are a lot of similarities in that both are fluid, run with quickness and can change direction. Bryce is a little faster (than Thomas)."
Snyder says it's these December practices with scout team members, plus working with other young players in the program, that helped turn the fortunes of K-State football starting in 1993 when the Wildcats started a run of 11 consecutive postseason years.
"Over that period of years of 9-, 10- and 11-victory seasons, being able to bring in better talent, and then having extra days to practice was a great benefit to the growth of our program," said Snyder. "You will never hear me say that there are too many bowl games because I understand how going to some of those early bowl games ... Copper and Aloha ... benefitted our program."
"Those early bowl games were a God-send to K-State, and then we were fortunate enough to prolong that streak over an extended period of time," said Snyder.
K-State will face Syracuse December 30 at Yankee Stadium in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. The game will be televised nationally by ESPN.
Tickets remain for the game in the official K-State block and are in great locations. Those tickets begin at just $100. Fans can purchase tickets through the K-State Athletics Department at the official online bowl headquarters - www.k-statesports.com/bowlgame. Fans may also purchase tickets via phone (1-800-221-CATS) or in person at the Athletics Ticket Office in Bramlage Coliseum through 5:30 p.m., Monday, December 13.

"Fall is a great time of year for homeowners to schedule professional carpet cleaning," says Dale Basel, President of Bob's Janitorial. "The carpeting in a home is a very large investment, and everyone wants their carpets to >look clean and to last as many years as possible. The only way that's going to happen is by having professional carpet cleaning on a regular basis. Household vacuums simply cannot remove deep, ground-in dirt.
"Carpets 'collect' contaminants such as salt, road grime, garden dirt, insecticides, dust mites, feces, pet dander,
and much more. Contaminants such as these can be very abrasive - actually cutting through the carpet fibers and causing permanent dam- age. Regular professional cleaning will not only make a carpet look like new again, it also pro- longs the carpet's life. And, of course, clean car- pets create a more sanitary environment in which to live and work. We recommend that carpets be cleaned a minimum of twice a year. So, if it's been awhile since the last cleaning, it might be a good idea to set up a regular schedule."
Don't wait—call Bob's now before the cold weather arrives (yes, it will get cold again) and you'll be able to show off carpeting that looks like new to holiday guests.
The Benefits Of Air Duct Cleaning: "Indoor air quality is a concern that homeowners and businesses both share," says Dale. "A rule of thumb is, 'if your ducts look dirty, they probably are.' That sounds simple, but it's true. In a typical six-room home, up to 40
pounds of dust is created annually through everyday living. Dirty air ducts can stir up and recirculate dust and dozens of other air pollutants.
"While dirty ducts don't create unhealthy air in the home/office, they could contribute to larger health issues by harboring contaminants that might cause problems for people with respiratory conditions.

Carol Sanford's most recent book is The Responsible Entrepreneur: Four Game-Changing Archetypes for Founders, Leaders, and Impact Investors (Jossey-Bass, July 28, 2014).
The UpTake: When your small, innovative company scales your instinct may be to adopt some of the frameworks used by larger, long-established companies such as formal employee reviews. Don't even think about it, writes Carol Sanford, the author of a new book, The Responsible Entrepreneur, who gives tips on how not to destroy an innovative culture.
E ntrepreneurship is not synonymous with a small business. In fact, most small businesses are not filled with entrepreneurial leaders or practices. And conversely, there are larger businesses that exhibit repeated innovation that comes from an entrepreneurial way of thinking.
So what makes the difference? It gets clear when a business starts to grow or scale.
The founder or leader assumes that they need many of the systems and processes found in bigger businesses to manage complexity. As a result of this assumption, they adopt the worst of the non-entrepreneurial business practices used by large and small business. They have no idea that they are about to kill a culture of innovation and how toxic the new systems are to creativity.
There are dozens of ways to avoid this, but here are my top three:
1. Do not institute hierarchies. This design practice shows up as chains of command. Most often, such hierarchies are initiated when there are many new people and some more experienced ones. The degree of hierarchy is determined by the spans of control one feels are needed to, well, deal with feeling out of control. The assumption is that newer workers can't manage work otherwise. The problem: It promotes people thinking about what the boss wants, not the customer. The creativity is in serving the customer.
What to do instead: Organize people in cross-functional teams around particular markets or customers. Make them responsible for the success of the customers or consumer in that space. Measure them on improvements to the customer's success based on the customer's criteria. Each teams work to achieve that for the buyers. That is how much of Apple and Google work. It is the equivalent of reporting to the customer, which is much more inspiring and how the early days are structured, at least mentally.

Jim McGurn chief executive of Get Cycling says:
"Cycling combines fun, variety, practicality and exercise. In other words, you can have a great time getting where you need to be, under your own steam, and keep fit in the process.
"Those with learning difficulties can enjoy mastering a new skill, and enjoy practical benefits. And cycling can make a phenomenal difference to a disabled person's physical and mental development. It offers a magical combination of independence, individual challenge and just plain fun. It also teaches co-ordination and promotes strength, stamina and general health."
"Cycling is an activity all the family can join in with, by getting a disabled person cycling it can allow the whole family to go on days out or just a ride together."
Councillor Keith Wakefield, leader of Leeds City Council said:
"The show will be a fantastic and fun opportunity to have a go on a range of wonderful and varied cycles.
"Cycling is a great way of keeping healthy and getting out and about."

I believe those items, particularly DzPolyMesh have been deprecated/removed/renamed…are you sure you are referring to the 4.5 docs?

The HDRi list.
Just because something costs a lot, doesn't mean it's the best…
It just means it's expensive.
Looks like you're right. I couldn't find a set of docs for DazScript in 4.5 so I'm using the ones from DS 3.
Some of those classes still exist in the 4.5 SDK, however it seems their constructors are protected. I'm able to instantiate the needed subclass just fine though.
DzSkeleton is a virtual "class" (remember that they aren't officially described as classes in script, but as objects) - in DS4 the real figures you can create are either DzFigure (TriAx) or DzLegacyFigure (Poser figure). Those inherit DzSkeleton, but you can't create a plain DzSkeleton as such. I think the same is true of the other objects you mention - they are containers for derivative objects which you can create, but not creatable items in their own right.

Possibly related to the subject of this thread:
I've been trying to put together a prototype for a small utility. Doing this as a script seemed like the easiest way to try different things and get something running quickly; however, I've hit a snag. While trying to retrieve the URI associated with a DzFacetMesh object, I received the following error message:
Script Error: Line 101TypeError: cannot call getUri(): unknown return type `DzUri' (register the type with qScriptRegisterMetaType())
As far as I can tell, the type hasn't been registered with the scripting engine. Is this an isolated bug, or are there known holes in the 4.5 script API that aren't being actively supported? Thanks.

NFL: Too much Alge turns the Bengals green in losson October 30th, 2006 at 4:52 am
The Bengals defense had no answer for Alge Crumpler of the Falcons although they bottled up the Atlanta run game most of the day
Not enough Ocho Cinco and especially Tres Dos has Bengals offense questioning identity
Bengals pick their poision with Falcons offense, wind up making Ron Mexico…er…Mike Vick look like Joe Montana
Time for "Toast" to sit and the rookie to play
by Mike Zimmer, Bengals honk
If it weren't for the LaRosa's pizza and listening to the Stealers lose to the Raiders on my Sirius Radio–this would have been a crappy day. I soothed my post-game anger with a much needed and missed LaRosa's before heading back to Columbus from Cincinnati this evening and then chuckled to no end as Pissburgh choked one up against the previously (1-5) Oakland Raiders. OK, OK, there were other things I liked about the day–but concerning the whole Bengals game expirience today in which the crowd was pumped, the weather imaculate and the Bengals played one good half of football–it sucked. After an impressive first half of containing Mike Vick somewhat and bottling up the Atlanta Falcons vaunted running game and moving the football when they had it–Cincinnati laid a big old egg in the second half of bad football. Penalties, stupid mistakes, an offensive identity crisis and not having an answer for the suddenly Steve Young-ish looking Mike Vick had the Bengals coughing up the lead and eventually losing 29-27.
Perhaps the Bengals O.C. didn't know who the new guy was
Is it me or is Bengals Offensive Coordinator Bob Bratkowski just a boob? His players are now starting to question his "brilliance" with calling out the fact after the game that they abandoned the run waaaaaay too early, and once again decided not to throw the fucking ball deep. He must just throw his pen at plays on his chart in the coaches box, because there is no rhyme or reason for the way the offense is stuck in neutral. Chad Johnson's funny if not rediculous "Ocho Cinco" routine was largely wasted on the day when Bratkowski and Palmer once again went to using Johnson as a decoy. Instead of trusting Johnson and chucking it down the field in his direction 4 or 5 times deep a game–they threw it to him once deep and the pass was overthrown. Which–is OK, if you can utilize it to your advantage. You need to do it a few more times to open up the run game and push those safeties deep and make the LB's think twice about hugging the line. The absence of "Tres Dos" or the other Johnson–as in 1,000-yard Running Back Rudi Johnson after the first quarter was just inexcusable. With only a cursory effort at running the ball after a six carry, 32-yard opening drive for a TD, Ruid carried only 7-more times on the day against a somewhat soft Falcon's run defense. What the fuck is that? See what they said: http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=5630
Despite the offensive question of who they were and what they are doing–they were still in the game despite the fact that the Falcons were taking advantage of every missed oppertunity. I was not pleased with the defense, but considering what Atlanta is capable of doing in the run game, the Bengals picked a poison and were in the game at the end of the day. In jamming up the Falcon's run game they put the game on the shaky shoulders of Mike Vick and the Atlanta passing game. Vick in turn started emulating Steve Young and channeling Joe Montana's accuracy in the process. Most times, the herpes infected Ron Mexico…er…Mike Vick has failed the test of being the guy to beat you on his own. However, last week against Pittsburgh and again today he looked the part of a QB that took full advantage of what was being offered him by a defensive scheme.
To that effect, the Bengals had no answer for Tight End Alge "It's what whales eat" Crumpler who Vick found over and over on the day including a 17-yard dagger that helped keep the clock moving late into the game in the 4th quarter. Crumpler was Vick's safety net all day in grabbing what seemed like 24-catches for 900-yards and a TD on the day. Here's a fantasy tip for all of you and a heads up to any team that is going to play the Bengals in the near future: If you have a Tight End that can catch the ball and has a pulse, he can catch 10-balls for 100-yards without breaking a sweat. So if you have Todd Heap of the Ravens–start him next week–because the Bengals don't have an answer for the TE and seemingly never have. To be honest–this is where the injuries to the defense really do take their toll, as inexpirience in the Line Backing corp is killing the Bengals.
On the other side or that is a guy who is long on expirience but starting to get sloppy and slow at his craft. Tory "Toast" James has been victimized more times this season than Ben Roethlisburger can count after he takes off his shoes. He got beat a couple of times on the day including by Ohio State's Michael Jenkins on a 33-yard TD catch. James needs to sit and the rookie Jonathon Joseph needs to take his spot. The speedy Joseph has shown in nickle situations that he can play and cover and there is no reason that the Bengals shouldn't throw him into the fire and have him get the expirience he needs in this league. I mean why not? James isn't cutting it as it is, and Joseph isn't going to do much worse.
All in all, the Bengals wasted an oppertunity to take a game against a beatable team and a crowd that was as loud as they have been all year. The natives are getting restless and for good reason. Sure, it's a tough schedule and the Bengals are probably playing to their abilities considering all of the injuries and match up problems. However, the coaching seems to be getting in the way of the offense and even the players are now booing the play calling along with the crowd. Perhaps they need to get out last year's highlight reel and take some freaking notes on how to move the ball on offense and figure out how the hell to get out of their own way.

You'll be an ASSr soon!!!
Sorry to hear about Haley's knee, injuries suck but hopefully she relaxes and heals.
BTW in the ECEA BSSr is one of the most competitive classes and almost impossible to win. If it is the same down there, even better for you winning.

HS#10 Battle of Buffalo Creek HS
This weeks race takes us to south central Florida and the Battle of Buffalo Creek HS. There are actual Buffalo usually on the property and we get to cross a small creek 3-4 times. Haley decided to wait another race while her knee gets better so that left just me racing. Saturdays course was 11 miles.
With the temp in the low40's it was a perfect day for racing. We had 9 guys on the line along with 4 women's A riders as the horn went off and my bike fired in one kick....holeshot!
I'm not sure what got into me but at this point I'm hauling. Making sure the bike is in the right gear and on the pipe has me hearing nothing but silence behind me after the first few miles.
Just as I'm settling in I hit a section of trees with the roots exposed like a spider web. I lose the front, grab a fistful of throttle while trying to recover and go down with a bang to my head from a very mean tree. "D@mn that hurt!" I think as I quickly try and get the bike up and going again. I look back as I take off and still no one coming..I might have gone too fast too soon I realize as let's remember this is a 2hr race!
I slowly get my bearings at the 1/2 way point of the lap. A wrong turn at a reroute has me realizing Marcelo Dadone and Don Chris are back on my tail as we pass through to end the first lap. I'm still in first but not for long.
It's not uncommon to swap places over a 2hr period. Don and soon Marcelo both get by me as my arm pump from leading the first lap has now worked it's way up to my elbows Nothing I can do but try and relax my grip and put the miles behind me. I really learn to hate the section of big sand whoops as my arms scream trying to keep the bars going in the right direction. I trade back and for the with a couple of Senior B riders (#420 Mark Prenoveau) on the 2nd lap and my buddy David Jensen(#8) on the 3rd. I yell "you've got to be kidding me!" when i see we are going out for a 4th lap as the course is really getting beat up. A spectator responds with "we been hearing that a lot"..no kidding. By the 4th lap I decide I really need to push again and 1/2 way through I passed back by Don Chris as he's pulling his bike out of the bushes. Not long after he blows past and I wait to see. Few miles later Don is picking his bike off a section of slick muddy roots and I sneak back by again. I keep hoping he won't realize it's me as every time he does he gets fired up an blows back by! I ended up with the fastest last lap of the class but was to little to late. I ended up in 3rd which was great though and about where I should have finished. Congrats on the win Marcelo!

HS#11 Hauling Tail III
Hauling Tail III is brought to us by Nature Coast Trailblazers and is located in dade City, Fl This is a fast course with not much for elevation changes but nicely lacking in sand whoops and palmetto's. Sat/Sun mileage is 9.5.
It's been a while since Haley has raced. She wrenched her knee pretty badly at the Azalea city round so has been on the mend and finally feeling good this weekend. With that in mind the goal for this race was just to put in some laps with no drama and have fun again. Based upon her smile at the end of the race the mission was accomplished. A few more like this and we'll concentrate on pushing harder.
19th out of 23.
13 guys on SSB line as the horn blows and my bike fires to life. Don Chris (#24) got the holeshot and I slid into 2nd place as we headed into the woods. It's all I can do top keep Don in sight. he hits the ground right before we hit the fields so I'm in first for a few miles..won't last...ha! I hear Don come up behind me and I let him by as I just want to try and use him to get some separation from the rest of the pack behind.I finish the first lap in 2nd. The next lap both David Wildner(#46) and Marcelo Dadone (#15) get by i manage to re-pass Marcelo right before the pines and don't see him anymore (He ended up getting a flat rear tire and had to retire). I run in 3rd the rest of the lap.
Lap 3 is where the fun begins. I'm a little over 1/2 way through the lap when i hit a nasty root. The rear kicks out so badly I'm thrown from the bike and get enough air to realize " Cr@p this going to hurt!" as I return to terra ferma and roll a few times tweaking my ankle in the process. Seems over a dozen riders ended up crashing in the same spot before they could get the root cut out! Tom Miller runs up to check on me just as I realize the bars have rotated down. We give them a tug with no luck as Frank Gamperl (#325)rides by with a holler and takes over 3rd place...dang! Looks like I have no choice to try and ride the bike with the bars screwed up. I take off and find out it's not ideal but I can manage. Great in a straight field, miserable in the whoops, and something i just laugh at and point out to the spectators as I ride around. I end the 3rd lap in 4th.
The 4th lap starts to bother my wrists. I start to think about the big picture of 2 sprained wrists as I crawl through the pines section. I get passed by 2 more guys in my class as my hopes of a decent finish quickly fade. I roll through the chicane in 6th and simply can't do any more as my hands are officially numb now. Wasted opportunity for a good finish but that's why they call it 'Racing and not riding. I'm really glad Haley had a good race as I love watching her ride and have fun so still a great weekend!

HS#13 Hard Labor Creek HS
This weekends race was being held up in Chipley, Florida and put on by the Tallahassee Trail Riders (TTR). The property is beautiful with acres of large mature pines with little elevation change but good dirt(no sand) and some muddy/clay areas to keep things interesting. The area had received a good amount of rain Thursday night so conditions were looking prime!
Haley was once again out to get seat time and work on getting her confidence back. A few good wrecks this year has her cautious yet willing to work on her skills as she told me she was concentrating on her body position in the corners (thanks Lacey(Womens A) for the tips!).
8th out of 9 in Junior C.
My experience with this race has not been pleasant. First year I lost my shifter and last year it was a flat tire so my goal at this point was just not to have any mechanical issues. I was having problems with my glasses fogging on the practice lap so I made the decision to race without them. Things far away looked fuzzy but maybe not seeing all the roots in the trail would be to my advantage..ha! I was also using roll-offs on my goggles for the first time so much unknown.
The track was in great shape Sunday morning but a light rain greeted us on the line. Nine SSB racers jumped at the horn as William St. Laurent(#240) pulled the hole shot with Don Chriss (#24) and then myself falling in line. A few miles in Will slowed and let us by as he had arm pump so bad he didn't want to hold us up..thanks! Another little bit and i managed to loose the rear on a off camber corner and go down..dang it! I'm not sure how many guys passed me as I remounted and took off in catch up mode. At one muddy/rutted section I came up David Widner(#46) laying in the mud. Later in the lap I passed Don Chriss trying to pull his bike out of a giant rut.
Now when it comes to mud I have veeeery limited experience. My approach was slow and steady with feet out and the look of a man totally out of his element. I simply didn't want to spend the energy trying to fix anymore mistakes than necessary. The first lap came to an end as I looked over...SSB... 1st place! I figured that it had to be a scoring error as I simply didn't remember passing that many people back. 1/2 way into the next lap I hear a bike behind me and look over to see David McAurther(#42). I haven't raced against Dave much this year but since he had caught me I let him by so I could follow him. Soon i realized Dave is a master of the mud. There was a section about 100yds long of black soupy mud before the boat jump...yes, boat jump and he was up on the pegs and pulling away!...cr@p!. I 'd manage to reel him back in via the faster woods sections but we came through to finish the 2nd lap and I was in 2nd place..mmm...maybe the scoring isn't wrong.
Dave laid the bike over in a corner..I pass him. I'm waddling through the mud and back by he comes. I'm staying on his tail but not pushing the issue. We come to the last muddy creek crossing and i pick a better line...sort of. I have to hop off the bike and pin the throttle but after flopping the bike over on the other side I get it picked back up and take off in first...3rd lap ends that way too.
4th lap and here we go again..Dave passe me in the muddy section and pulls some time on me but I close back up in the woods..it's going to come down to the last creek crossing it seems. Dave disappears into the woods and I round the corner to see what happened...he's buried! Seems a course worker had suggested a line that was deeper than he thought. I look to the far right as another workers tells me I can make it if i pin it...so in we go. I manage to get the front wheel on firm ground as I hop off the bike again to pin the throttle and push. Just as I get out to the other side I look over and so see Dave frantically trying to free his bike to no avail. For the rest of the lap I just concentrate on staying smooth. The checked flag greets me with a scoring display that says "1st" and I still can't believe it. I had thought on the last lap I didn't care who won as it was so much fun battling with Dave..felt bad for him as he finally rolled through in 5th place..all because of one bad line. What a fun race!

HS#14 Anchor III HS
We head north to just outside Jacksonville,Fl for the Anchor III HS put on by River City Dirt Riders (RCDR). The property consists of 1000+ acres of planted pines and with recent rains dust was not a issue. Sat course was 5.5 and Sunday 9.8 miles.
Haley's race started out well as she took off mid pack and settled in.
She traded spots with some riders but the issue with everyone was the roughness of the track. Miles of pounding across raised pine rows had arms and legs burning from the constant standing it required.
on the 2nd lap she went over the bars and caught a handlebar to the stomach. That took the fight out of her as she completed the lap and called it a day.
9 guys on my line as we head to the first corner and I settle for 2nd place.
(Note the sea of pines trees behind me...ugh!)
Let the beating commence. The miles of pine rows pounds on me as I try and keep the leader in sight. The picture below sums up my season..watching Don Chriss #24(he locked up championship with this race win) standing on the pegs and disappearing from view as I ride sitting down and cutting every corner trying to keep up
David Wildner (#46) comes by and I manage to stay with them to complete the first lap in 3rd. The 2nd lap starts with me losing touch of them both (I just can't stand for that long) and William St.Laurent(#240B) comes by in a long section of pine whoops. I settle in behind him and wait soon we dump out on a long straightaway...time to drop the hammer. I hunch down on the bike with the throttle pinned in 5th and the motor on the pipe and screaming. I pass back by Will and another slower rider as I jump hard on the brakes for the chicane..that section every lap was my favorite..billboard smooth and fast!
Not long after (Marcelo Dadone #15) comes by me in another whooped out section as I'm just helpless to watch him go by..can't run his pace. I can follow him though through the smoother stuff however as I watch him start to lose control in the pines..one foot flies off the peg and his leg crosses over the seat as he just misses a tree and lands in a heap in some bushes. I look over as I pass by and it's obvious his throttle had stuck and he was trapped under the bike. looked too dangerous to not stop so that's what I did. Got his bike stopped and him back on his feet as Frank Gamperl (#325) passes by.."GO" yells Marcelo as I hop back on my bike and try to catch up.
I end the 2nd lap in 4th place now as the struggle really begins to keep a decent pace. It's hot, I'm tired, and d@mn it I can't sit down! The pine rows are relentless as eventually Marcelo comes back by me after getting him self going again..d@ng it! Time to follow him so that's what i did/ I just sat on him and waited for my chance. Eventually we came to the corner that dumped out into my favorite straightaway. Marcelo in his haste dumps the bike just as I roll around him and race through the gears to get some distance. The corner worker gives me some applause as I brake deep into the chicane at the end of the straight with a smile on my face! I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Senior B rider David Jensen who I enjoyed riding with..good times Dave!
(Dave right behind me)
The scoring chicane couldn't come up soon enough as I crossed over for 3rd place! David Wildner had pulled over after 2nd lap so I improved from 4th to 3rd. Happy just to survive the tough course!

Well last year truly was a dream season. Riding with good friends, no injuries, and much success.
2013 looks to be another great year! I went ahead and had new graphics made to prepare for a year of getting my ass kicked.
I hit a stump while riding at Croom ATV park prior to the first race and landed on my shoulder. I goofed something up in it but still tried to ride the Little Brown Jug enduro the following weekend. that resulted in a severely bruised foot, so I'm not having much luck this year.
At this point I needed to heal up so decided to skip the first race and cheer on Haley! She spent the weekend down at our suspension tuners house/shop/track (Tom Flemming) trying to get her comfortable on the bike. Tom finally hit on the idea of lowering the bike after watching her struggle doing some drills. Eureka!..what a difference it made. Hecontinued to tweak the bike and offer advice over the weekend as she left with the anticipation of having a much better season...Thanks so much Tom!!!!!!!!!
Race #1 took us to Bartow, Florida and the CFTR Badlands HS. Haley has decided to go back to racing Junior girls as there were more participants showing up this season, She had 2 other girls in her class and 33 riders total on her line! There were some nervous parents watching as the big class all funneled into the first corner.
As I watched her disappear out of sight my wife and I exclaimed to each other" She looks like she's actually racing out there!"..
20ish minutes later she comes into view and really looking good.
At this point I'm really excited. Haley has ridden races in the past, but damn if she wasn't racing now! I wait for her to come by the 2nd lap with anticipation....and I wait...and wait...crap....where is she?. I hustle over to Lori in another section and hastily ask "What happened to Haley?" with that familiar feeling of doom. Lori replies"What do you mean? She just came by"
Seems she was looking so racey I hadn't even recognized her...haha!
She comes around to the checker flag and due to the scoring display not working you couldn't tell what place she was in,,seems it was 1st !!!
Seems she managed to beat 8 of the boys too as she won her class and realized finally how good a race can feel when it goes smoothly.
We're so proud of her !!!!

Jersey Shore
Snooki Shoves Frozen WHAT Down Her Shirt!? (VIDEO)
When it comes to making babies, it's not all fun and smushing.
In this new preview video for Jersey Shore Season 6, Episode 6 from The Clicker, the Seaside heat was on for poor Snooki, whose baby Lorenzo was still just a bun in the oven at the time of summer filming.
For Snookers, the temperature was so sweltering that when she couldn't find an ice pack in the house to cool her heels, she resorted to shoving frozen food down her top!
"Don't judge me," she warned her co-stars, who then carried on with business as usual while she stood in the kitchen with boxes of freezer goods stacked beneath her blouse. At this point, the gang's probably seen it all, so they kept a straight face like a pack of pros!
Ronnie even threw in a good-humored joke, saying "Probably the best way to defrost anything in this house is put it on Snooki."
Too funny!
Catch the next new episode of Jersey Shore on Thursday, October 25 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Oshakati — HIV/AIDS infection risk at Namibian tertiary institutions is "alarming", according to a research paper presented at the Namibia Organisation for Social Science Research in Eastern and Southern Africa (OSSREA) conference in Oshakati last week.
The research was conducted under the guidance of the Director of Post-graduate Studies Unit at the University of Namibia (Unam), Professor Roderick Zimba,and the Head of the Department of Educational Foundations and Management, Faculty of Education at Unam, Dr Gilbert Likando.
It covered hostel residents at Unam, Polytechnic of Namibia and the four colleges of education that have since been transformed into Unam satellites.
The study was conducted among a sample of 629 students that attend higher education institutions countrywide, an initiative to strengthen AIDS response in the higher education sector.
According to Zimba, the research looked at factors that may promote prevalence of HIV/AIDS infection risk at these institutions.
"The research, among others, looked at infection risk factors that relate to alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, safety and security and customary beliefs and traditions that might underlie the risky factors," he revealed.
Zimba told the meeting that despite the fact that a number of studies were done in HIV infection risk, attitudes and practices in tertiary institutions in Namibia, spoke of high-risk behaviour. "We are, however, unaware of a systematic and in-depth study on factors that could promote HIV infection in tertiary institutional hostels."
According to Zimba, the study among others found that 83 percent of all institutions had no HIV/AIDS hostel policies and that 80 percent of the respondents claimed that there were no access restrictions at hostels. Only Unam has an HIV/AIDS policy.
However, rules and regulations that govern hostel students are either not in existence or not enforced at the university.
"It is a worrying finding that people come and go as they wish from these campuses without any control," he said.
He revealed that the study also found that the scarcity of hostel accommodation at tertiary institutions results in "squatting". According to the study, 40 percent of the respondents reported that unmarried male and female students "squatted" in the same rooms.
"This posed HIV infection risk when those squatting may be required to pay 'in kind' for accommodation," he said.
The focus groups' discussions revealed that older men or women often flirted with young girls or boys in exchange for accommodation, which the study researcher referred to as "the practice operated as a 'sugar daddy' or 'sugar mummy' syndrome".
"Scarcity of accommodation made many hostel residents vulnerable to sexual exploitation," said Zimba.
The study also found that 54 percent of the respondents reported that sexual harassment took place in the hostels - particularly when perpetrators are under the influence of alcohol, while 72 of the respondents indicated that the abuse involved not only male hostel resident, but also non-resident older men.
Other findings of the study are the myths about HIV infection, false assumptions, a belief and value system that would promote infection, wrong information about infection and peer pressure as justification for engaging in unprotected sex.
According to Zimba, "stereotyping and fatalistic" thinking was displayed when participants made statements such as "practice makes perfect; using a condom is a sin; sex is nature - you add a condom, you interfere with nature; real men should sleep with many girls; enjoy sex while you are still alive; even if you protect yourself, you will die anyway; and you become famous when you have more than one girl friend".
The report's recommendations included consultative workshops to be held and that stakeholders be made aware of sexual relational HIV risk inherent in hostel life.
Community members in particular should be made aware of their role in combating the risk by discouraging practices such as those of sugar daddies as well as the myth on HIV.
The report will be finalised soon and disseminated for information sharing.

Matt Lauer discusses his No Shave November plans on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'Add to Favorites | The Tonight Show With Jay Leno
It's that time of year when men's shaving products stock goes way down ... Mo-vember, a.k.a. No Shave November. It's that one month of the year when men nationwide grow out their mustaches for charity in order to raise money and awareness for men's health problems, including prostate and testicular cancer and mental health issues.
"Today Show" host Matt Lauer showed up on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" with a healthy amount of scruff to discuss his No Shave November plans. "It's No Shave November, and we're trying to raise awareness for men's health," Lauer says. "At the 'Today Show,' we're all growing beards. We're trying to get people to tune in and say, 'Wow they look awful, but hey, I should get checked out.'"
Lauer also learned that while he can't shave for the entire month, he is allowed to make sure he doesn't look like an unkempt monster. "I'm allowed to trim it, according to the rules of No Shave November," Lauer says. "I'm allowed to trim my beard. I don't need to get into Boston Red Sox territory."
In addition to growing out his beard, Lauer also participated in a live prostate exam with fellow host Al Roker.
"We decided to call attention to this issue. Did you know that 97% of prostate cancer is curable if its caught early?" Lauer says. "We didn't go in the room together but we went to the doctor's office together. It only took a total of 34 seconds, the full screening. For some reason, guys are just freaked out by it. There is something about it that intimidates guys."

Show your leadership in shaping the New Urbanism! Learn more
about Sponsorship
Opportunities at CNU 17.
We've set up a presence on the following sites to help you
network with other attendees before the event and so you can
help promote CNU 17 to your friends and colleagues.
The Denver Congress is about to kick off. Here are a few
notes to make your arrival as smooth as possible — and to
help ensure that you get the most out of an exciting program
and dynamic network of colleagues. We look forward to sharing
the best of the New Urbanism with you and invite you to check
out the program updates and networking opportunities below.
Early arrivals are encouraged to register upon arrival to avoid the Thursday morning rush. Registration will open Wednesday at 7am.
The forecast calls for a chance of thunderstorms
through Sunday, so be sure to pack a light rain jacket or
umbrella. The high altitude sunshine comes on strong when
the clouds clear, so sunblock, lip balm and a water bottle
are also encouraged, especially for those joining us on CNU
17 tours or experiences.
CNU has arranged for group pricing on Super Shuttle from Denver International. Place a reservation using discount code 9R465 at the Super Shuttle website.
We're also promoting conservation and re-use
of resources this year. Instead of giving you a bag packed
with brochures and flyers, your essential conference registration
materials will come clipped together. We recommend that you
bring a bag, as we won't be providing them.
CNU is giving attendees the opportunity to network online
as well as in person. The premier gathering for urbanist education,
collaboration and networking now has an online social networking
site, allowing users the chance to connect with fellow attendees,
explore Denver, and build a personalized Congress schedule
that can be downloaded to personal devices.
Powered by Denver-based Zerista, the site works like a CNU
17-specific Facebook, letting attendees search and browse
a complete attendee directory; send messages and set up meetings;
share their own personal profile and web content; broadcast
business opportunities via event-wide forums; and build a
personalized CNU 17 schedule. Learn
more about logging on.
Once at the Congress, you can share what you experience (and
see what others are doing) viaTwitter. Even if you haven't
tried it yet, CNU 17 may be the time to jump in and test out
your "tweeting" abilities. Sign up and you can share your
140-character observations on tours and sessions, share photos
of "can't miss urbanism" using yfrog or Twitpic, and even
let friends know where you're going to be hanging out after
dark. Tag your tweets with #cnu17 so others can find them
easily on search.twitter.com — or here using this
handy display widget. See you ihere in Denver and online!
Earlier this week, a group of new urbanists in several vintage
rail cars left San Francisco bound for Denver. Riding the
historic California Zephyr, the CNU
railcar delegation are enjoying stunning veiws and stimulating
conversation. Follow
their progress as they roll into Denver.
Eager to get a headstart on the Congress? Check out the program, available here in pdf format.
Michael Freedberg
Chairperson of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Energy Task Force, Michael Freedberg will be on tap as a respondent in Friday's "CNU and HUD: Opportunities for Collaboration in Affordable Housing."
Lora Engdahl
Lora Engdahl, author of From Despair to Hope, will discuss her new book that "offers cause for optimism and lessons in policy innovators." A chronicle of the ambitious government-led HOPE VI project to redefine the American housing project, Engdhal and co-author Henry Cisneros explore the implications of the program on policy-making and city planning. Engdahl will be present at the breakout session "Best Recent New Urban Books" on Thursday from 12-1:30.

Hear from Andrés Duany and other founding members of the movement as they discuss why New Urbanism works, and walk away with a better understanding of what makes a great place and why.
CNU President John Norquist and various Board members will
host an interactive discussion on CNU operations and goals
from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. Saturday, June 13, 2009 in the Exhibit
Hall. This discussion is open to all CNU 17 attendees.

Bahrain opposition welcomes dialogue offer
(AFP) / 2 June 2011
Bahrains main opposition group, Al-Wefaq, on Thursday welcomed an offer of dialogue from the royal family which crushed protests in March.
"Al-Wefaq welcomes the appeal from King Hamad for a serious, comprehensive dialogue based on the principle of national consensus," said the group which won the largest number of seats in a parliamentary election last year.
The goal of the dialogue needs to be "a lasting solution that guarantees the legitimate aspirations and just demands of the entire people of Bahrain," it said in a statement.
King Hamad made the dialogue offer on Tuesday on the eve of the lifting of a state of emergency imposed at the time of the crackdown.
He called for "all necessary steps to prepare for a serious dialogue, comprehensive and without preconditions, adding that it should "start from July 1."

Purple Super Hero Meteorite
8,922pages on
this wiki
this wiki
| Conjecture
Club Penguin has not given the game, party, room, etc. a name, as such, the name Purple Super Hero Meteorite, is purely conjectural. However, it will be used until an official name is released.
The Purple Super Hero Meteorite is a meteor that appeared in the telescope of the Lighthouse at the Medieval Party 2012. It crashed into the island on June 7, 2012, giving penguins Super Powers for the Marvel Super Hero Takeover 2012. Loki might have been inside it, suggesting its relevance, like how in The Avengers he came through the portal caused by the Tesseract cube. However, this is irrelevant, because he was an ordinary penguin before he was given powers by the meteor. The meteor also powered Protobot, which in turn powered Destructobot.
- The meteor hit Club Penguin at the Dock on June 7, 2012.
- It is often referred to as a meteor, although it is technically a meteorite.
- It did not show much significance after the Meteor Strike. It did, however, give Super Powers to penguins, and appeared on the Marvel Super Hero Takeover 2012 homepage.
- As shown in some of the newest Field-Ops, Gary studied the meteor's energy, showing that it will be significant again sometime. It did, and Gary used it for the Time Trekker 3000, and later, the Time Portal.
- It is equivalent to the Power Crystals at the Marvel Super Hero Takeover 2013.

~ A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats ~
The art work above was created by Mr. Q. M. Martin, one of Panola College's founding fathers and its fourth president. Mr. Martin knew how important it was to educate our youth so they would be prepared to compete in the work place. Toward that end, he initiated the movement to organize a junior college for Panola County. On June 14, 1947 the voters overwhelmingly approved the creation of Panola College.
Mr. Martin's concern for our children and the citizens of Panola County is as relevant today as it was then. That is why the Panola College Foundation created the Sustainers Group. The Sustainers Group is comprised of citizens who want to ensure that affordable and accessible education continues to be available in our community.
Please consider this your invitation to become a Sustaining member. By joining you will be contributing directly to the success of Panola College and the citizens it serves.

Your windshield would be covered in New Hampshire if you have auto insurance coverage on your vehicle in which you could make a claim for the repair or replacement of damage to your front glass. You would need a physical damage coverage such as comprehensive or glass breakage to cover a broken windshield in NH. If you only have minimum coverages of liability then your windshield would not be covered by your own policy.
In most states if you have comprehensive coverage on your vehicle than your vehicle is covered for glass breakage, especially to the front windshield since it is the most important window on the vehicle for the driver to be able to see and operate the vehicle properly.
Some insurance companies, for an extra premium, offer full glass coverage when comprehensive and collision is purchased which covers your car's glass for breakage of safety glass with no deductible.
Some states, such as Florida, have statutes that waive the deductible on your physical damage coverage to have your windshield replaced when there is damage to it. This is in hopes that motorist will take care of their windshield quickly, when there is damage done, so that the driver can see clearly out of the front glass. New Hampshire has no such law to the best of our knowledge.
So if you have physical damage coverage on your vehicle contact your insurance company to make a claim so that you can have your front windshield repaired or replaced if you have damage to it. Your insurance carrier will let you know if a deductible is due or not according to the terms of your policy and New Hampshire state laws.
The NH Insurance Department notes that if your windshield is broken you need to take steps to protect your vehicle from more damage. If you do not take such steps, your insurance company could refuse to pay for any later damage. For example, if you do not cover a broken windshield and rain damages the upholstery, your company could refuse to pay for the damaged upholstery.

Before that, Ironheads had a generator charging system.
I own an '83 Ironhead (and have had it for 22 years), and they aren't the junk many people seem to think they are. Sure, if you buy an abused one, one that hasn't been maintained, and/or one that had been "customized", you can have a mess on your hands. Find a good one, though, and it will be no more troublesome than any older bike. They have solid lifters, so the pushrods do require periodic adjustments, and the drive and primary chains need adjustment, too, but that's about all the extra care they require. The later ones had a decent electronic ignition, too, so none of that points & condenser crap.
If you want to build in some real performance, though, an Evo is probably the way to go. There's a lot more go-fast stuff available for them, and they can make better power than a similarly-modified Ironhead because of the better head design and better cooling. Ironheads are cool, though.
Great info and a beautiful bike. I missed out on a good looking '78 Ironhead in my neighborhood because I was dithering about spending the money. Kicking myself about that today. The performance thing is irrelevant to me. Yeah it would be cool to have some fire breathing monster, but the way I ride it would just be wasted.
