Ask the Experts
How long does it take for nuva ring to start working when you first start using it? I went off the pill a few months ago and have been just using condoms since.
NuvaRing (the ring) is a combined-hormone method of birth control. It releases estrogen and progestin to protect against pregnancy for one month. A woman inserts the ring deep inside her vagina. A new ring is inserted only once and left in place for three weeks in a row. At the beginning of the fourth week, it's removed and menstruation occurs.
If you haven't been on the pill, patch, or ring in the last month, start using the ring on or before day five of your menstrual cycle. (Day one is the first day of bleeding.) Pregnancy protection will begin seven days later. In the meantime, use a latex or female condom to reduce the risk of pregnancy.
Keep in mind that the ring and other hormonal birth control methods don't offer any protection against sexually transmitted infections. Using a latex or female condom along with the ring reduces the risk of infection.
The ring must be prescribed by a health care provider. Make an appointment at the Planned Parenthood health center nearest you to discuss your options.
10 Responses to How long does it take for NuvaRing to become effective?
nuvauser2 says:
how does the nuva ring continue to prevent pregnancy even when it is out for your period?
Alex says:
Hi there,
In short, the NuvaRing works by releasing hormones into your body that affect the way your reproductive system works, and this is still effective at preventing pregnancy even when you take the ring out for your period week. Click here to learn more about the specifics of how NuvaRing works.
nuvauser3 says:
So even after the first 3 weeks of using the nuva ring, it works the same the 4th week while it is out?
Alex says:
Hi there,
Yes. You're still protected from pregnancy during the week the ring is out.
nicole says:
I had unprotected sex 1 week after putting iin my nuva ring and it was my ovulation day… before that I was not on any birthcontrol what so ever and after my boyfriend ejaculated he stayed in me for quite a while… his *stuff* took about 3 days to completely flush out of me..it was'nt until later that he told me my nuvaring had come out.. I'm kind of freaking out and need advice ASAP what are my chances of getting pregnant
NinaB says:
Hi Nicole,
Whether or not your NuvaRing had started protecting you against pregnancy depends on when you inserted it. You can read more about the NuvaRing here, where you can find info about when pregnancy protection begins and what to do if the Ring slips out.
- Nina
Carrie says:
My doctor who proscribed me the NuvaRing said it would take one month for it to start working. But you said 7 days and so did the informational packet. Who should I believe? Should I hold out on having comdomless sex for one month or just 7 days?
NinaB says:
Hi Carrie,
It's always a good idea to follow your health care provider's instructions. Additionally, since the NuvaRing doesn't protect against STDs, it's also always a good idea to use condoms, too.
Merce says:
I used birth control a few years ago to regulate my period and hormones, but I have not been on birth control for the past year. My doctor told me to put the Nuvaring the Sunday after my period ended so that it would be easier for me to remember when to take it out and put it back in, but now I am wondering if she told me wrong. My period started last Saturday and ended on Wednesday, and today on Sunday I just now put in the ring. Will I be protected from pregnancy within the next week, or should I wait an entire month to have unprotected sex?
NinaB says:
Hi Merce,
If you insert the vaginal ring later than five days after the start of your period, protection will begin after seven days. You should use another method of birth control — like a condom or spermicide — if you have vaginal intercourse during the first week of ring use. Read more about the NuvaRing here.

Asbestos flooring hazard levels: what is the actual risk level from asphalt asbestos floor tiles, vinyl asbestos floor tiles, or asbestos-backed sheet flooring? This article summarizes the probable risk of asbestos exposure from asbestos-containing floor tiles or sheet flooring as depending on the condition, covering, and location of the floor.

What is the Level of Hazard of Asphalt Asbestos or Vinyl Asbestos Floor Tiles?
Asbestos is safe and legal to remain in homes or public buildings as long as the asbestos materials are in good condition and the asbestos can not be released into the air. - US EPA
The US EPA points out in Adequately Wet Guidance, EPA340/1-90-019 that asbestos-containing floor tiles are considered non-friable materials but the materials can become friable with age or by grinding, sanding, demolition, etc.

The risk of asbestos particle release and thus asbestos exposure from asbestos-containing flooring depends on several variables that we list here.
Advice on Removing Asbestos-containing Asphalt or Vinyl Floor Tiles
Details about asbestos-flooring product removal are
Antique Linoleum, Jute-Backed: not an asbestos product
This sheet flooring covering backed with burlap fabric is probably more than a century old.
The material has not been tested for asbestos fibers, but where we see what is obviously a jute backing it's not likely that the product contained asbestos..
The possible origin of this product is discussed at
Asbestos-containing flooring was sold in both individual floor tiles and in rolls of sheet flooring. But just as with vinyl or plastic floor tiles, not all flooring contains asbestos. LINOLEUM & Other Sheet Flooring includes examples of sheet flooring that often did not contain asbestos.
To treat floor coverings in asphalt-based floor tiles or sheet flooring, or vinyl (plastic)-based floor tiles or sheet flooring, it is reasonable to treat flooring sold even into the early 1980's as PACM (Presumed Asbestos Containing Material). Also the mastic or adhesive used to install flooring may also contain asbestos. Keep in mind also that very often it is not necessary nor even recommended to remove PACM floor coverings. But if conditions require that it be removed,
How to Dispose of Vinyl-Asbestos or Asphalt Asbestos-Containing Floor Tiles
The following advice for disposal of vinyl-asbestos or asphalt asbestos floor tiles is adapted from the Minnesota State Department of Health:
State health departments typically recommend that all asbestos debris and waste is disposed of in a landfill that accepts asbestos-containing waste. There are three methods of disposing of asbestos waste and they are:
Watch out: if you are disposing of asbestos-containing waste yourself, you should contact your local state health department for detailed instructions.
For example, while a landfill may accept asbestos-containing-material (ACM) (as the material may be buried and thence non-hazardous, special requirements may apply to protect workers and buildings from asbestos dust during collection, bagging, removal, and transportation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Question: Possible asbestos-containing floor tiles in a school, questions about proper handling
Hi. I have a question about asbestos in floor tile and its removal. I work at a public school and the school had a contractor come in to remove some flooring that was starting to "buckle up" in some areas due to water seeping underneath it. When the contractor came I happened to be around and I asked him before he started if the tile could be asbestos (the school was built in 1952). He looked at it and said it wasn't 9x9 inch, and he wasn't sure what was underneath it yet, so he couldn't say for sure. When I started at the school I was made aware by my boss that there is asbestos tile underneath the carpet in the classrooms, but he didn't mention the hallways, where this work was going to be done.
I kept a watch on the contractors as they were removing the tile flooring, (I stayed a safe distance from them...like outside the building through a window). I noticed they used no masks and there was no plastic barriers put up inside the building. They were breaking the tile up though because I noticed them shoveling it up and putting it in the big 55 gallon plastic barrels used for garbage. They stayed for about 2 days doing this. When they were done they left these filled barrels of the tile for us to dump! I didn't want to be involved at all in their dumping! My boss came though and he said he needed my help in dumping the barrels in the outside container for garbage. I REALLY wanted nothing to do with this and I panicked inside. I was afraid though to ask about its safety. When we went outside to dump them I kept my distance as much as possible.
When we dumped the first barrel I held my breath and we dumped it quickly and a HUGE bunch of dust went into the air. I stepped far away and let the dust clear. I then asked if he had any kind of face mask. He did, but only the N95 kind. I put two on and some goggles. We then dumped the rest. My question is, what are the chances that the flooring contained asbestos, and if it did, wouldn't the contractor and our head supervisor that ordered the work know about the flooring? - Mike 8/22/11
Question: floor tiles below asbestos in a 1950's house may contain asbestos
I was pulling up some carpet in my basement today and found that there is tile on the floor beneath it. That didn't seem like a problem to me except in one corner the tile came up with the carpet and there is a green tile beneath that. The house was built in 1950. should I be concerned that the green tile has asbesto in it?
Don from the age of materials you describe it's a good chance you have one or more layers of asbestos containing floor tiles, though of course I can only speculate with so little information.
Question: dealing with unknown floor tiles
I purchased a co-op built in the 1950's. I need to put down a new floor. The last layer of flooring is green 9x9 vinyl tiles. The pattern looks close to seneca white but the background is light green with dark green pattern. There is black tarry stuff underneath. The tiles are extremely thin. I ripped out the tiles and the plywood underneath them in the corner about 18" square. The super told me to leave it alone as it might be asbestos, but all the contractors who have seen them, seem not to be worried about ripping up the tiles. I would feel better to play it safe and just floor over them. How do I e-mail a picture to you? - Jeanie in Queens NY 11/13/2011
I have a early 60's home with both bathrooms having what appears to be a solid surface material poured over a greenish felt. The flooring is tan with colored flecks in it throughout. I have looked for the material but haven't found any info. Does anyone know what it is? Is it possible that this material contains asbestos? - Dan 1/10/12
the tile in the place I work appears to be asbestos tile. there are some squares that are damaged, and appear to be chipped out. there are small particles, chunks, etc. in the place where the tiles are missing. is this a danger to us? - Lynn 1/12/12
I want to renovate this ranch soon and am not sure what the tile is and who do I call? I want to renovate this ranch soon and am not sure what the tile is and who do I call?Ceiling tile is from 1940 - Jo 2/7/2012
I have an old ranch home w/ sheet lino.x2 layers, over OSB board, over another type of flooring over old hardwood. From what I can see so far. The hardwood has blunt square ends, and is about 3-4" wide and appears to have paint on it. I know there is some rot in that area and would need replacing from reclaimed wood. My question is what is the best way to remove all the lino and OSB and floor below that to get to the hardwood? I know it's going to be labor intensive but not sure how to go about it. - Tracey 2/13/2012
Utility room floor installed 1971 is Armstrong Excelon vinyl asbestos place and press tiles. Some of the tiles are loose. they are whole..just loose. Please recommend what glue to use to re-install them. - Anne 2/13/2012
I work at a Petland Discounts location that's over 20 years old. I've gotten severe breathing problems at this store. The floor polishing company comes in and polishes the floor every month and there is this thick dust in the air and then it gets all over the products. I am concerned that it contains asbestos. There are also many broken tiles in the store. - Despina 5/22/2012
In my kitchen we have a sub floor, then asbestos tiles, then another sub floor and then a layer of linoleum flooring down. We want to lay another floor down but our floor is already up an inch with everything on it. We want to removed the whole flooring but have no clue how we should go about doing this without getting the asbestos in the air. It is also laid in our hallway and our whole basement. Thank you so much for any help you can provide. - Gigi - 6/11/2012
I was going to put new ceramic tiles in the kitchen floor, but when I removed the transition between the wood floor and ceramic tiles I saw vinyl tiles under the kitchen floor. My question is how I would know that the vinyl tiles are asbestos or not? - Mike 7/10/2012
i removed floor tiles by hand that look very similar to some of the ones you have pictured on your web site about 9 years ago. basically i used an old grill spatula to peel them up off of the cement floor. i did use a dust mask but i was unaware at the time that some older floor tiles contain asbestos. do i have anything to worry about? - Joe 8/1/2012
Hello I scraped up a tile floor in my house and I now fear that it was asbestos. The backing is black not white. It did not grind to dust, but it came off in pieces. The floor is covered in the black backing still and I don't know how I should remove this. Should I be concerned about removing this part? Also I suspect these tiles continue into another room under a rug. I would like to remove them eventually if possible. What do you recommend? - Mandy 10/29/2012
My husband and his family were doing some remodeling on a home we just bought (built in the 1930's). When I stopped by the house i saw that they had ripped out the old flooring in the kitchen and bathroom. Underneath the old carpet and flooring were 9x9 squares that were on top of the original hardwoods. I freaked out because i remembered hearing something about 9x9 tiles and asbestos on hgtv. These squares are black, but they are flexible, almost like a thick paper or a cardboard rather than a hard tile. We aren't sure if it is just some sort of backing, or an asphalt asbestos tile. They had already spent the weekend tearing most of it up and it is all over the place right now. any info/suggestions etc would be very greatly appreciated. - Jennifer 10/29/2012
Asbestos-containing flooring in good condition does not have to be removed from a building, and worse, inept removal can create a much greater hazard than leaving most asbestos materials in place.
Asbestos was widely used as a filler in both asphalt-based and some vinyl based floor tiles of varying thicknesses, and extending to some thin, flexible self-adhesive backed tiles as well as some sheet flooring.
See ASBESTOS FLOOR TILE IDENTIFICATION PHOTOS by YEAR for an extensive photo guide to asbestos-containing flooring materials.

Comment from reader: anonymous:
Hey Joe there's always a "risk" when removing anything that has to do with Asbestos. I understand that you probably didn't take caution at all with the removal and you probably weren't wearing the proper protection. There's two things that could be red flags. 1. I'd be worried if you were a constant to heavy smoker. 2. I'd also be worried if you've done this type of removal many times before or after without protection. The only way to know for certain if true damage has been done is tell your Doctor or care provider about this incident and ask for their advice.

No i think alot of arc on your ball is a good thing because its give a better chance for the ball to go in. If your ball doesn't have alot of arc on it then its means that your not putting alot of arc your shot.
It has a better chance of going in
not at all.It will be harder to block and give you a better chance to make shots. A flat shot will result in bricks
its a good thing but dnt put too much arc on it cause then it will hit the back of the rimb, just aim a little bit over the front of the basket.
Alot of arc on a jumper is definantly a good thing it really helps your acuracy and gives you better a chance of swishing it. It also helps you get the ball over defenders.

DATE & TIME: Thursday, January 10, 10 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: The Pavilion (8,000) -- Davis, California. Television: None. Home Record: Cal Poly 5-1, UCD 1-3. Away Record: Cal Poly 2-5, UCD 1-6. Neutral Record: Cal Poly 0-0, UCD 2-0. Conference Record: Cal Poly 3-0, UCD 0-2. Series Record: Cal Poly leads, 31-13.
GAME NOTES: The Cal Poly Mustangs will attempt to stay perfect in Big West Conference play on Thursday night, as they pay a visit to the UC Davis Aggies.
Following back-to-back losses to Santa Clara (72-64) and Washington (75-62) in mid-December, Cal Poly fell to 4-6, but since then it has surged over .500 for the first time all season with three straight wins to start its conference schedule. The Mustangs closed out a brief two-game homestand last Saturday with a 72-67 victory over UC Irvine.
Considering its 5-26 record in 2011-12, UC Davis at least appears to be on its way to an improvement this year, but at 4-9 it has still has considerable work to do. The Aggies began a three-game homestand last Saturday with a date against Pacific, and they fell to 0-2 in league play after suffering a 74-64 loss.
The Mustangs hold a comfortable 31-13 advantage in the all-time series with the Aggies, which includes wins in both matchups last season.
Cal Poly opened up an 11-point halftime lead only to cough it up down the stretch to allow UC Irvine to lead by as many as six in the second half, but it finished up strong by scoring 23 points in the final eight minutes to secure the five-point win. Chris Eversley was fantastic in the triumph, shooting 7-of-11 from the field and 10-of-12 from the foul line on his way to 24 points. Chris O'Brien was also a big factor, tallying 16 points and four assists coming off the bench. On the season, the Mustangs get outshot from the field by their opponents, 46 percent to 42.6 percent, but they are still able to score more points (65.8 ppg to 64.6 ppg) by logging a plus-2.8 turnover margin. Eversley has been one of the Big West's best forwards this season, as he leads the team in both scoring (15.7 ppg) and rebounding (7.4 rpg). Dylan Royer chips in with 10.1 ppg, albeit on only 40.4 percent shooting. Brian Bennett adds 9.8 ppg to the mix.
UC Davis kept its matchup with Pacific close well into the second half, even cutting its deficit to two points with 8:07 to play, but the Tigers went on a run and eventually handed the Aggies the 10-point defeat. Corey Hawkins did his best to keep his team in it, shooting 5-of-7 from the floor and 8-of-8 from the foul line en route to 19 points while also coming up with three steals. J.T. Adenrele chipped in 14 points, while Josh Ritchart came off the bench to add 10 points and six assists. Scoring hasn't really been an issue for the Aggies this year, as they shoot an impressive 46.1 percent from the field in netting 72.1 ppg, but while they allow foes to shoot just 41.1 percent, they surrender the third-most points in the conference (73.9 ppg) because they get into a lot of foul trouble, allowing teams to attempt nearly 21 free throws per contest. Hawkins leads the club and is fourth in the league in scoring at 17.8 ppg, although his percentages from the field (.392) and 3- point range (.235) leave much to be desired. Ryan Sypkens (15.0 ppg) is the conference's most efficient shooter from beyond the arc (47-of-92, .511), while Adenrele (10.9 ppg) and Ryan Howley (6.6 ppg, 10.0 rpg) are also solid contributors.
UC Davis appears to be much improved from the doormat it was a season ago, but it still possesses some glaring holes in its game. Cal Poly has shown it can win on the road in conference, and it should be able to outlast the Aggies in this one.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Cal Poly 68, UC Davis 65

BOCA RATON - — Paul Lombardo, who has led Fort Pierce Central to the state football playoffs four years in a row, is the new head football coach at Spanish River High School.
Athletic Director Bill Massey said Lombardo was the first choice out of more than 50 applicants, eight of whom were interviewed for the job.
"Paul has done an outstanding job with the Fort Pierce Central program," Massey said Tuesday. "He has taken that team to the playoffs the last four years, something we haven't been able to do at Spanish River. We are looking forward to him taking us to the next level.
"He has outstanding credentials. He has coached with a variety of high schools and has some college coaching experience. We wanted someone with experience."
Lombardo came to Fort Pierce Central from Pensacola in 1990. That year Central improved from 2-8 to 5-5 with Lombardo as defensive coordinator and he was named the head coach in 1991. In his four seasons as head coach, Central compiled a record of 31-19, winning six state playoff games.
Central won District 9-6A titles in 1991 and 1992 and took second place in district the past two years. The past three years, Central has won two rounds in the state playoffs each year.
The team went 9-4 in 1994, losing in the playoffs to eventual state Class 6A runner-up Miami Southridge.
"Going to the playoffs four years in a row and to the third round three years in a row speaks for itself," said Fort Pierce Central Athletic Director Mike Leeds.
"Our football program was pretty poor in the '80s. He had a lot to do with the improvement. He exhibited good leadership skills. He was well-organized and he motivated the kids to work to a higher level."

BUT NOOOOoooooo! There are no earbuds for sale. I have to replace the entire unit if I want new buds. I got about 8 months out of this before it became a nuisance. Think twice before you buy.... If there is one out there that works and has replaceable buds, please post. I need something to keep me going :)

I use the mp3 player for swimming lanes. It works really well so far - but I wish the earphones would stay in better (they tend to come out when swimming) and once you get any water in your ear it is harder to hear the sound from the mp3 player. Some type of waterproof headphones that went into the ear better would make the product a 5 star. Easy to load up with music, clips to goggles and batter lasts
Great sound! Comfortable ear buds! Great value!
I have used the device exactly twice since it arrived. The first time I used it, within the first few minutes of exercising one of the ear pods lost sound completely. I got the same results the second time I tried it. I'll give it one more shot, if I have the same results, I'm sending it back.
Love at first sound, I was the envy of the pool..a better workout, more fun..but then the earbuds started to get static and within days simply died. I'm embarrassed because I bragged to fellow pool members that they were so great and to buy one and then they disappoint. I now told everyone to NOT buy.. Guess what else tho?! There are NO earbud replacements available. So save your money and don't buy this device.
I only got to use this product for a month and it quickly got water damaged.. worked great in the beginning but then the clip broke off and it just became useless
I use the player 45 minutes to an hour 5 days a week for lap swimming. Player itself is fantastic with great sound and storage. Headphones however are subpar at best. Sound cuts out in the left bud quite a bit. Sent an email to the manufacturer but have never received a response.
This is easy to use. The instructions are clear. I only wish the clip was a bit sturdier. I like to clip it to the strap on my goggles. The picture shows it clipped to a swim cap which is really thin.
I use my MP3player 4 times a week while swimming laps. It rocks! It has made lap swimming so much more enjoyable. I also plan on using it for walks and during water aerobics. It is easy to use while swimming and sounds great! I wish I had gotten one sooner.
The headphones died almost a month after I got the player.

The Politics of Iran's Nuclear Program
- Iran's nuclear program, initially cancelled after the 1979 revolution, was revived in the closing phases of the 1980-1988 war with Iraq. Tehran wanted to guard against a future surprise analogous to Iraq's repeated use of chemical weapons.
- Iran has depicted international pressure to suspend its uranium enrichment as a politically motivated attempt to keep it scientifically backward and to deprive its rights under the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty.
- Through appeals to nationalism, Tehran has used the prolonged crisis to revive flagging support for the regime and keep the revolutionary faithful mobilized.
- In a profound sense, the nuclear dispute is now inextricably tied to the political nature of the regime itself.
Second, Iran's disputed 2009 election—won by Ahmadinejad amid widespread allegations of fraud—sparked the largest protests against the regime since the 1979 revolution. A new Green Movement opposition was born. Many conservatives also had growing concerns about the populist hardline president, particularly his economic mismanagement. Iran's new political chasm quickly began to play on the nuclear issue. Four months after the election, Ahmadinejad agreed to a U.S.-backed interim agreement designed to ease tensions and open the way for broader negotiations on Iran's long-term program. Leaders of the Green Movement as well as key conservatives publicly criticized the deal—reportedly in large part just to oppose Ahmadinejad and prevent him from taking credit for ending tensions with the outside world. Iran soon walked away from the deal.
- Iran envisages an energy program that encompasses 10 to 12 reactors generating some 24,000 megawatts and several enrichment plants. It is also building a heavy-water plant at Arak, a source of proliferation concern.
- Bushehr's 1,000 megawatt light-water reactor was built by Russia and took 15 years to complete. The deal stipulates that fuel is provided by Russia and the spent fuel rods will return to Russia.
- The average reactor takes at least a decade to construct and a minimum of $1 billion before start-up, with costs likely to increase with inflation and international sanctions.
- Even with its own enrichment capability, Iran may lack sufficient indigenous sources of uranium ore.
- Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani is a two-time president and veteran political operative who was in charge of Iran's defense when the decision to revive the nuclear program was taken in the 1980s. He has alluded to the need for Iran to be prepared for the unexpected in defense matters, and most likely led the decision to hedge by seeking a weapons option. Known as a leading pragmatist, he is personally opposed to Ahmadinejad, whom he ran against for president in 2005. On the nuclear issue, he is more likely to seek a pragmatic accommodation with the world than to accelerate enrichment.
- Mir Hossein Mousavi was prime minister during the Iran-Iraq War. Considered a radical supporter of the revolution at the time, he would have been privy to and may have strongly supported the revival of the nuclear program, including a weapons option. Mousavi reflects the evolution of first generation of revolutionaries. Now more pragmatic, he is also more disillusioned by the tendency toward authoritarianism and praetorianism, the control of society by force or fraud. He leads the Green Movement opposition, and straddles the rift between those who feel the regime can be reformed and those who feel it needs to be replaced. On the nuclear issue, he has suggested a reasonable accommodation with the international community.
- Moshen Rezaie was the Revolutionary Guards commander during the Iran-Iraq War and is known to have told Rafsanjani that Iran could not pursue the war with Iraq to victory without a nuclear weapon. He is now considered a "pragmatic conservative," and was a presidential candidate in 2009. He suggested an "international consortium" as a possible compromise solution on the enrichment issue. All three of the opposition presidential candidates – Mousavi, Rezaie and former Parliamentary Speaker Mehdi Karroubi – criticized Ahmadinejad's nuclear policy as provocative and costly for Iran, despite the supreme leader's explicit support of it.
- Ali Larijani, parliamentary speaker and formerly chief nuclear negotiator (2005-2007), is ambitious and a political opportunist. Larijani started the factionalization of the nuclear issue by accusing the reformists of selling out Iran's enrichment "pearl" for "candy." He is a conservative but has also had disputes with Ahmadinejad.
- Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, weakened since the disputed 2009 election, has aligned himself with the hardliners. He has rarely pronounced on the nuclear program except in generalities. He insists that there is an unspecified fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons, but has supported polices that make it impossible to verify this fatwa in practice.
- Support for Iran's nuclear program, always vague, is likely to become even more politicized. The weapons component of the program has never been debated or acknowledged and further revelations or costs associated with it could make it more controversial. Since 2009, factions take positions that do not reflect their real preferences, mainly to thwart political rivals.
- Increased international pressure and sanctions are likely to increase the program's costs, which is also likely to make the program more contentious at home – and potentially exacerbate existing political differences in the leadership.
- Iran's hardline default position—to negotiate only under the most severe pressure—has been reinforced by the change in the domestic balance of power. The Revolutionary Guards are now a principal player in decision-making.
- A wild card is the possibility of an Israeli or U.S. military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities; the repercussions are unpredictable. A reasonable assumption is that initially Iranians may rally around the flag and hardliners will try to further consolidate their position by purging the moderates. The regime will also see its rationale for a weapons option reinforced, and may shift to an overt weapons program and even leave the NPT. Once the dust settles, however, the domestic backlash to an attack may discredit the regime for its brinksmanship and intransigence.
- Iran's technical progress is uneven and allows time for more diplomacy. Any compromise agreement will need to find a balance between not rewarding Iran's confrontational policies while also meeting Tehran's minimal political needs in order to win domestic support for an agreement. This may be harder than it sounds.

Radeon 9600 Pro -vs- GeForceFX 5600 Ultra
Can anyone give me there opinion as two which card (of these two only) is the better overall and perphaps why?
I'm not looking for hard data and frame rate charts -- i just want to know if both cards will be able to play Splinter Cell, Half-Life 2, Halo, Doom 3, and MaxPayne2 with decent graphics.
I'm leaning towards the Nvidia, but i'm worried about the additional power supply needed.
I've also read that the 9600 Pro has advantages with DirectX9 over the 5600 Ultra.
I have a Gateway, P4 2.0GHz, 512 DDR ram, XP, fairly new setup.
Thank you for any response.
9600 Card requires very little in the way of power. Prolly a better buy honestly if you're into DX 9.0 stuff,.
The Radeon 9600/Pro requires no external power. It's definitely the better choice, especially if you're going to be into Half-Life 2, Halo, Tiger Woods 2004, etc.
9600 Pro is a better buy and is more future proof. It draws little power, stays cool, overclocks well.
R9600Pro > FX5600 Ultra by a landslide
Radeon 9600 is easly twice as fast compared to FX 5600 Ultra in DX9 games , and all good games will be DX 9 ;)
get a 9500pro if you still can, but both are definitely better than a 5600. And last time I checked, 9600s are cheaper too.
the 5600 is a joke, don't buy one of those
more like dx9 software emulation through a GLide wrapper... okay so I'm exaggerating, but you get the point. Now if the 5600 was cheaper, I still might consider it. It's not a bad card for a lot of things. But it's actually more pricy than a 9600pro, so forget it.
After a couple of usual whining :bs: , lets make a picture more balanced a bit.
Don't forget Doom III (and upcoming Doom III engine based titles)!

GQ Magazine just featured Dale's Pale Ale in their article "I'd Tap That! 50 Beers to Try Right Now".
Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale – $9 (6-pack cans)
Packed with tons of citrus from a heavy dose of American hops, this is the quintessential stateside IPA. Like most pale ales, it's on the hoppier side-which means its slightly bitter and sour. You know hops when you taste em. However, it's not as hoppy as a IPA (Indian Pale Ale). And we really like the can, which makes it easily transportable, great to bring to a picnic or barbecue or the beach. Technically speaking, beer lasts longer in a can because no light is allowed in.
Check out the entire GQ article here via the web. http://www.gq.com/food-travel/wine-and-cocktails/201004/best-greatest-beers-in-the-world#slide=14
GQ magazine compiled the top 50 list and GQ editor Adam Rapaport brought his favorites for Harry Smith to try on CBS News The Early Show on Friday, April 23rd. Dales's Pale Ale had an extended stay in "the top 50 beers you should try before you die" segment as Adam discussed the Hoppiness of Dale's Pale Ale as well as th

Rated 1 out of 5Â by ladybell9 Not Happy I know their not the most expensive piece of jewelry.. but I am not real pleased. The yellow stone bracelet will not fit over my hand ( I have small hands & wrist) I tweaked it to make it wider put now it looks like junk..the blue stone one is bent and don't lay or hang well, the solid bracelets are just OK..not a good purchase, I guess I expected more from Free People. 9.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MorganSartori cutest set there is! I bought the gold set and I couldn't be happier! luckily for me I bought them in store and they were on sale. They do seem expensive but its hard to find a bracelet set like this and sometimes they can be 3 times more money. The only problem I have which is with every set of bracelets you buy anywhere is the noise. When I bought them though, they were sited together with a brown string which i kept one which makes them significantly more quiet. Getting them on can be hard, but that means they won't come off, if you have trouble it is much easier putting them on one at a time! 1.1.2014

Not a particularly sexy headline there, but then it's a post with a bit of a spartan purpose. Let's look at how the Steelers are stacking up through eight games in as many phases of the game that I deem worth discussion. Worry not, there'll be plenty of talk to come later in the week on the pivotal game against Cincy.
Quarterback -- Last year, thanks to a Week 1 shoulder injury, coupled with a wholesale lack of blocking or help in the running game, Big Ben had a middling statistical season, which gave cause to his many detractors to dust off the long disproved "game manager" label. Hell, even though he's been playing at a Pro Bowl level all year (and been to a Pro Bowl in the past) Jaws invoked it at the beginning of the Monday Night Football broadcast. Again, it's a sad misnomer that will hopefully fade with time and his ever-mounting lost of accomplishments, but who knows. While some of his turnovers aren't on him (Week 1 Hail Mary interception, pick six caused by a missed hot read by Santonio against the Bengals, fumble against the Broncos after Kemoeatu got beaten badly) he's had the occasional bad misfires, such as the redzone interception in Denver. Still, hard to find much to bicker about here.
Running back -- After he's torched the Chargers, there was skepticism about how Rashard Mendenhall would fare against a respectable run defense. Two solid performances at home against the Vikings and on the road in Denver have quieted those doubts in a hurry. Still, it's his first full season in the NFL, so it's good that the team has Mewelde Moore to grind out yards late in ballgames to ensure Mendenhall doesn't get worn down before the end of the year.
Fullback -- David Johnson appears to have played himself into this role for the forseeable future. He had a few nice blocks to spring long runs this past week. A welcome find in what has been a fruitful '09 Draft for Tomlin and Colbert.
Wide receivers -- The big question coming into the season was if the Steelers could ably replace Nate Washington as the no. 3 receiver and with who? Suffice it to say, Limas Sweed was not up to the task, but Mike Wallace has not only made Steelers fans forget about Nate, he's already appreciably better than Nate ever was at any point in his career in Pittsburgh. Excluding his Week 1 fumble, Hines has been nothing short of great. Santonio endured some mental gaffes earlier in the year, and still is a little up and down in his week-to-week output, but has otherwise steadied.
Tight end -- It's Heath Miller. He's good.
Offensive line -- Like Wallace, another pleasant surprise. Hell, even Willie Colon has gotten the stupid penalties in check, while Max Starks, whose contract extension I bemoaned endlessly during the offseason, has been downright stellar for most of this season. Gotta hand it to the guy keeping in check two elite rushers in Jared Allen and Elvis Dumervil in check the previous two weeks. Granted, Chris Kemoeatu was beaten badly on a play that resulted in a costly turnover, but otherwise Roethlisberger has time to throw and Mendenhall had running lanes against Denver.
Playcalling --Not that I'm turning into a Bruce Arians defender by any means, but he's been easier to take this year. He wisely committed to the run against the Broncos, though I was surprised by the lack of play action until midway through the second quarter. There was a lapse into his usual "let's run on first down to keep the defense honest then go into obvious pass formations on 2nd and 3rd downs" early in the game, which is partly why the Steelers had difficulty early on.
Defensive line -- Denver simply could not run against the Steelers, even when their pass game was working in the first half. Adrian Peterson would solid, if unspectacular coming out of the backfield. Aaron Smith will be missed at times throughout the rest of the season, but nowhere near are sorely as anyone initially expected.
Linebackers -- Surprise! There's still probably among the best units in the league. Keyaron Fox is challenging Lawrence Timmons for playing time the same way Timmons did to Larry Foote. That's not a bad problem for a team to have. LaMarr Woodley sack stats, however, are way down, though he has made his presence felt in pass coverage and run stopping. And lately he's getting a lot of pressure on QBs even if the sacks aren't coming to him. The fumble recovery against the Vikings was also a needed boost for him, though we've still yet to see a monster game out of him this year the way we have with James Harrison.
Corners -- William Gay is getting routinely picked on by quarterbacks. At the moment, it's probably the biggest concern the team has. Again, he's a first-year starter, there are adjustments to make. And I don't think he's played terribly. He should have had an interception against Denver that was jarred away by Polamalu. He'll need to step it up as the season progresses, however. Ike has been routinely solid
Safeties -- The league got a reminder that a healthy Polamalu makes all the difference to this defense. It was good to see Tyrone Carter step up in Ryan Clark's absense. Like I said last week, Tyrone's skill set more closely matches Ryan's than Troy', which is why I think he fared much better against Denver than when he had to play Polamalu's role earlier in the season.
Coaching -- The most frustrating aspect of the defensive playcalling to date in 2009 has been how far corners have played off receivers, which opposing offenses have takens advantage of more than anything else against the Steelers. At first I thought it would disappear with Polamalu's return, but it remains. Might have something to do with a lack of faith in William Gay at this point. It would be nice to see them at least attempt to play some press coverage.
Kicking -- As long as Jeff Reed is quiet and not trying to fight cops, the kicking game is fine. After a disaster in Chicago and another miss in Cincy, Reed has bounced back somewhat. The short kickoff and perfunctory tackle attempt on Percy Harvin's touchdown return two weeks back was another thing that will dog him come contract offer time, but it seems at least he's getting the message to shut up and play.
Punting -- Watching Mitch Berger shank a few for Denver on Monday night was another splendid reminder how much better off the Steelers have been with Sepulveda back.
Coverage -- It was looking shaky for a few weeks, but responded very well against Eddie Royal in Denver. And while they got burnt two weeks in a row, it came against Joshua Cribbs and Percy Harvin, two of the best return guys in the NFL this year. Not to say we should expect them to break down when going against good competition, but these are players capable of hurting anyone.
The team has really been able to congeal within the past month. Whereas last year, the Steelers were a team with very glaring weaknesses and obvious strengths that could compensate for them, this is a more complete team we're seeing this year, which is a startling thing. A lot of credit is due to the coaching staff and scouting for helping to plug those problems, despite a rough start, through adjustments and the draft. Should the upward trend of the past month continue to play out, repeating is a very real possibility.

I agree 100%. Especially about the William Gay apprehension. I have no idea why opposing QBs stop throwing at him.

The Bulldogs were again paced by sophomore forward Alexa Newfield, who contributed two goals and two assists for a six-point outing. Senior Ashley Miller set the tone for the day with her goal just 42 seconds in and
"We wanted to focus on the first five minutes and we came out and did it," Miller said. "We talked about that since the Mercer game and how we needed to keep it going. We're very excited to see what's to come."
The Bulldogs got off to a fast start with a nice combination of passes from Susannah Dennis and Newfield that led to the Miller goal just 42 seconds in. It was the quickest score for
The Bulldog defense held up its end of the deal in the first half, refusing to allow a Panther shot until there was 21:50 left in the first half.
Madeline Barker got the third goal of the day in the 40th minute when Newfield hit a corner and freshman Tori Cooper headed it on to Barker, who knocked it home. That 3-0 score is where it stood at halftime, marking the first time
The Bulldogs came out from the half and continued to control the game, with Newfield collecting her second score of the day in the 54th minute off of a cross from Owens - who earned her second assist of the day on the play.
Newfield comes away with a stellar weekend, totaling four goals including the game winner on Friday vs. the Bears. She is now the owner of the last three multi-goal games for Georgia, two coming this weekend and one last season vs.
"Our objective was to start fast," head coach Steve Holeman said. "Not only that, but to also not let up when we scored because we've done that twice this year. The great part about it is we got goals two and three before the half. We're getting better every day, and we're making progress and that's what you want to do. We took a huge step today."
Next up the Bulldogs travel to UNC Greensboro to take on the Spartans and former assistant coach Steve Nugent Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. With that

Yes, if you make it Odin flashable. But I am not sure if it is possible on CM, I never did it.
You can use dd command in terminal emulator, but be very carefull. It is explained on CoCore thread I think.
P.S. There was some other app for PC to flash kernel. Look on our section, if I find it I will post you here.
Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2119676
It does the same like you would in terminal emulator with dd command, and Universal Kernel flasher is doing the same. Just with GUI.
i am currently away from my pc so is there any other way arnd for example can i replace the default boot.img which comes with the rom with the over clock version ( boot.img only) will it work? and i tried it through solid explorer but it cant replace the boot.img. any other file browser to replace it? thanx in advance

Khartoum — There has been improved humanitarian access during the past week to displaced people in North Darfur's conflict-affected Jebel Amir area, according to the United Nations' humanitarian affairs body.
A report prepared by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) it says needs assessments and monitoring missions by humanitarian organisations have been carried out in the Kebkabiya, Saraf Omra, Garrah Az Zawia and El Sireaf localities. Relief supplies have now been delivered by road to almost all locations affected by the conflict, although security remains a major concern.
Violent inter-tribal clashes between members of the rival Arab Northern Reizegat (Aballa) and Beni Hussein tribes, fighting for control of the region's gold mines has sparked a humanitarian crisis, displacing about 100,000 people, according to the Sudanese government's Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC).
North Darfur continues to witness a number of tribal conflicts and remains one of the most volatile states in the region, with different rebel groups regularly clashing with forces from the Sudanese army.
The latest crisis, which unfolded in January, has resulted in the largest displacement of people in Darfur in recent years, with the figures for the past month higher than the total numbers displaced in 2012.
In a significant breakthrough for aid organisations working on the ground, the road from Saraf Omra to El Sireaf has been opened for humanitarian access following consultations between local authorities in both areas, as well as tribal leaders of the Beni Hussein and Aballa groups.
Aid agencies previously claimed the road's closure was blocking the delivery of relief supplies and preventing assessment teams from accessing affected areas.
However, both the local authorities and tribal leaders have stressed the need to ensure that assistance reaches all people affected by the conflict, regardless of their tribe.
Moves to improve humanitarian access in the region follow calls by the United States for the Sudanese government to grant UN agencies "unrestricted access to all areas of Darfur" to deliver aid to needy civilians in the region.
In a statement extended to Sudan Tribune following the violent outbreak in Jebel Amir, Oxfam warned the region was facing a potential humanitarian catastrophe due to inadequate shelter, poor sanitation and the possible spread of disease, adding that aid agencies were struggling to meet the needs of those affected by the crisis.
According to the HAC office in Kebkabiya, the number of people displaced from Jebel Amir taking refuge in the locality as of 14 February had increased from 1,000 to about 7,000 people, with figures constantly in flux, due to the movement of displaced people from other areas into Kebkabiya locality.
In Saraf Omra, some 2,000 people displaced from the Jebel Amir area have settled in three locations, according to a needs assessment team that visited the area on 14 February. However, community leaders claim that the true numbers of displaced are about 18,500, the majority of which come from the Northern Reizegat tribe.
In West Darfur, about 4,600 displaced people who returned in 2011 to Hashaba Dadi in the state's Kerenik locality reportedly fled the village, leaving just 400 people behind, amid fears of further attacks after violence erupted in Jebel Amir, government authorities said.
Meanwhile, Some 3,000 people who had been living and working in the Jebel Amir gold mines have arrived in South Darfur's Bulbul Abu Jazo area. According to recent humanitarian assessments, those displaced are being isolated by the host community, who fear the possible transmission of yellow fever, as the displaced population has not been vaccinated against the disease. In response, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the state's ministry of health are planning to conduct a vaccination campaign in the area.
The OCHA report said humanitarian agencies had delivered non-food aid supplies to relief supplies to 21,700 people, while about 65,000 people have been assisted with water and sanitation services, adding aid agencies were working to address the most urgent needs of those displaced.
The United Nations has estimated that around 300,000 people have died during the 10-year conflict in Darfur, while some 2 million people have been displaced.

Smart, N; Riley, PR; (2009) Derivation of epicardium-derived progenitor cells (EPDCs) from adult epicardium. Curr Protoc Stem Cell Biol , Chapter 2 Unit2C.2 - ?. 10.1002/9780470151808.sc02c02s8.
Full text not available from this repository.
The epicardium has, like the other cell lineages of the terminally differentiated adult heart, long been regarded as quiescent, incapable of migration or differentiation. In contrast, the embryonic epicardium possesses an innate ability to proliferate, migrate, and differentiate into a number of mature cardiovascular cell types, including vascular smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, cardiomyocytes, and, arguably, some endothelial cells. In recapitulating its essential developmental role, we recognized the ability of the actin-binding peptide thymosin beta4 (Tbeta4) to induce epicardium-derived progenitor cell (EPDC) migration from adult heart and noted the derivation of cell types originating from embryonic epicardium. This protocol provides a means of enabling adult EPDC outgrowth and culture. We establish a model system in which to study the ability of factors to influence the migration of vascular precursors and their differentiation and to move towards screening of small molecules ex vivo prior to clinical trials of therapeutic cardiac repair.

Bailing mahi-mahi from around lobster floats and other flotsam is a ton of fun, but you usually only catch relatively small fish in this way…right? Sort of, but on the Project Boat, running out of Ocean City, Maryland, we'd catch plenty of fish in the 15 to 50 pound class while bailing—thanks to the yo-yo technique.
At the time, we didn't even realize that's what we were doing. In fact, these big mahi weren't even the target fish. My mate at the time was convinced that if he tossed out a heavy, shiny "wahoo bomb" each and every time we approached a float, eventually, he'd catch a wahoo. He never did get an attack from one of those toothy critters, but he did attract a heck of a lot of nice dolphin this way.
When you locate a large school of chicken dolphin in the two to 10 pound range, which is the common catch around the balls, larger fish are often lurking below. If you only bail near the surface you might miss a half a dozen of these big boys in a day, and never even know it. The trick to catching them is teasing 'em up to the surface.
The traditional yo-yo technique, which in some ways was a precursor to speed jigging, is as simple as it gets: Throw out a jig, let it sink to bottom, then crank like mad until it's back at the boat. This is what the packaging on the wahoo bomb said to do, so this is what my mate did. And every so often a big, hot mahi would follow the lure right up to the surface. Interestingly, they never hit the jig. But, that was perfectly fine with me. Since we were bailing, when the fish got close to the surface they'd see our chunks sinking through the water and go into a full-tilt feeding frenzy. I don't recall a single fish ever getting hooked on the Bomb, but plenty of our guests swinging their bailing rods hooked into big fish that the Bomb drew up from the depths. In other situations or with other lures, like Californians who use this tactic when going after yellowtail, yo-yoing will produce plenty of strikes. But, if for no other reason then to bring those big mahi up from the depths, it's a tactic worth understanding.
When you approach an item that you suspect holds mahi, be it a board or a polyball, make sure most of your anglers are armed with traditional mahi-mahi bailing gear: heavy-duty spinning rods rigged with 80-pound leaders terminating in an 8/0 circle hook, baited with fish chunks or whole squid. Toss out your chum chunks, and watch as the two to 10 pounders come rushing in. Watch the crew have a ball bailing them up. But before you move on, drop a jig down at least 150' or so, then yo-yo it back up the boat as fast as you possibly can. Every now and again, a 20 to 50 pound gaffer will come charging to the surface, where it will usually slurp down everything in sight—including your angler's baited hooks. Try and offer it the one that's attached to your heaviest bailing rig, and hold on tight.
Angler's Tip: Bait this big bailing rig with a whole large or horse ballyhoo, hooked through the jaw or eyes. Big dolphin love 'em, but the smaller ones usually can't choke them down so this prevents them from snapping up your offering before the big guy can get to it.
Have A Ball
Catch mahi-mahi by the millions (almost).
Catching the ball.
Lobster pots line the drop-offs at all of the canyons from Delmarva to New York, and the big orange polyballs floating at the end of their mooring lines create a haven for small fish and shrimp, which in turn, attracts mahi-mahi. Yes, the majority of the fish you find hovering under the balls will be relatively small; three to five pounders are average, with the occasional ten pounder mixed in. Visit a dozen or more balls in one day, and you'll sometimes find a fish or two in the 25-lb class. Often trigger fish can also be caught from under the balls, and on occasion, wahoo.
Finding the balls is easy: just run to the edge of the deep, and usually you'll spot one on the horizon before the bottom drops out. Often they're set as shallow as 350', and sometimes they're out around 700'. If you don't see any right off the bat, pick a course that runs along the edge in either direction and run for a mile or two. You can also spot them with radar, since many of the balls have radar reflectors perched on top. Most of the time you'll spot them on radar before you will with the naked eye, but don't expect them to provide a hard return until you're within two to three miles.
Once you find the balls, they will usually be set in zig-zag strings along the edge of the drop. Some have small secondary floats five or ten feet from the ball, and some have two polyballs on the same line. This small increase in mass floating at the surface does have an effect; double-balls hold larger schools of fish, and hold them more often than single balls. The amount of growth on the bottom of the ball and on the line also has an effect. If the ball's been out there a while and has lots of growth, your chances of finding fish under it are increased.
Inshore anglers who fish for sea bass can also get in on some low-key bailing action. Most of the mahi around inshore bass pot floats, which look just like large crab pot floats and are usually set in 60' to 120' of water from eight to 30 miles offshore, will be under three pounds. Some seasons, however, plenty of five to 10-pounders can be found under the bass pots. Small amberjack and triggers can often be found around them, as well.
While it's impossible to predict what any specific summer will bring, most years, the fishery under the big canyon polyballs is extremely reliable. In the past decade during the worst season, on an average day of fishing you would find a school of five to ten fish under every tenth ball. In the best season, there were twenty fish or more under each and every one. Usually the mahi-mahi will be present in good numbers once July hits, although a couple of seasons back when the canyon water was cool and dirty early on, they didn't show up until mid-July. Once these fish do arrive, you can plan on them being available in good numbers at least through August, barring a hurricane or other major weather shift that can throw the fishing off-kilter.
Feeding Frenzy
Many offshore anglers troll along past these lobster pot balls, and you will catch some mahi-mahi using this tactic. Not nearly as many, however, as you will if you stop and "bail" the fish. The tactic is simple: cut butterfish into domino-sized chunks, and put them in a bucket. Then rig up 12- to 20-lb class gear, spinning or conventional as you please, and tie on a four to five foot fluorocarbon leader of at least 30-lb test. If you want to land the big ones, up-size the leader to 40- or 50-lb test. Mahi-mahi have rows of small but sharp teeth, and during en extended battle they will eventually wear through light leaders. Hook a 25-lb. fish on 15-lb spinning gear and it can take as long as half an hour to land it, so you'd better be prepared.
Smaller mahi will be leader shy at times, and won't hit the heavier rigs. If this is the case go light, but keep a heavy rig prepared at all times, sitting up in the rocket launchers. You will often spot the big bull dolphin as they attack your bait, and if a really large one approaches you can quickly reel in, reach up, grab down the heavier rig, and toss it to the fish. It's a good idea to bait this line with a whole ballyhoo, which large mahi will usually swallow with abandon, yet smaller fish will usually leave alone.
Your rig should terminate with a hook in the 6/0 range. Long shank hooks give you a bit more protection from the teeth, but short shank hooks are easier to hide in the bait and may get taken more often; pick your poison. Bait up with a butterfish chunk the same size as the ones you cut for chum, unless it's the big ballyhoo rig.
Approach the ball at idle, from the down-current (or down-wind; whichever is stronger) side, until the bow of your boat is 10 yards or so from the ball. Swing the wheel around hard, so the stern of the boat slides towards the ball, and put your boat into neutral. Time it right and you'll have the transom facing the ball, just a few yards away.
Next, toss a handful of chunks right next to the ball. Watch them closely as they sink, and often, you'll see the neon blue-green missiles dart in and go into a feeding frenzy. When you do, have your anglers throw their baits into the middle of the fray. Baits should be fished with an open bail, in free-fall. Since you pulled up to the ball from the down-current side your baits will drift away from the ball and line and you won't have to worry about snagging them—unless a feisty mahi runs back in that direction, of course.
Baits should be allowed to free-fall for several minutes, because the fish will sometimes hang down deep. If one gets hooked up the rest of the school will often follow it to the boat; in this case, leave the fish in the water. Land it now, and the school will disappear. But keep it swimming right next to you, and other anglers can hook up one after another. When a second fish gets hooked the original fish can be boated, when a third one is hooked fish number two can be gaffed, and so on. You can also keep the school next to the boat by continual chunking. Be careful, though. If you drift a quarter mile from the ball and hold the school at your boat, then break the chunk line, the school may scatter. From that distance they usually won't go back to the ball but will merely disappear. If you lose the school, or try a drift or two at a ball with no takes, it's time to move on.
Alternate Measures
When trigger fish are spotted beneath the balls, cut off your leaders and go to #4 or #6 hooks, tied directly to the end of your line. Not 4/0 or 6/0; but the really small ones. Triggers have tiny mouths, and it's impossible to hook them on mahi-sized gear. Bait up with similarly tiny chunks.
You should also keep a rod rigged up with something heavy and flashy, like a wahoo bomb, in case a wahoo suddenly appears. Cast it out, allow it to sink 50' or 100', and crank it back to the boat as fast as your reel will spin. More often then not you won't spot the wahoo because they will be hanging well below the mahi, so savvy captains will assign one angler in the crew to take a shot with the bomb on the initial approach, then switch over to mahi chunks with everyone else if the gamble doesn't pan out.
Of course, any other flotsam you encounter in the deep—two-by-fours, cargo nets, trees, or anything else the size of a five gallon bucket or larger—can hold a school of mahi. Use these exact same tactics, and you'll often fill the cooler.
Speaking of filling the cooler: Fishing around the balls using these techniques can lead to absolutely outrageous catches. At times, you'll look up to discover that every angler on your boat is hooked up or shoving a fish into the cooler—which is already brimming over with fish--while a hundred or more mahi swarm around you in a feeding frenzy. Be careful! It's all too easy to over harvest these fish. Keep a good head-count on how many go into the box, and determine how many you'll consider the maximum catch ahead of time. Fish them smart, and you're sure to have a ball at the balls.--Lenny Rudow

By tully | "Boredom at Its Boredest" by Michael Tully December 8, 2005 at 2:01AM
They aren't posting the translation of this for a few days, I think, and I'm admittedly a tad intrigued to read what Gertjan has to say. I did decipher one bit that says something to the effect of "while COCAINE ANGEL is not a masterpiece, it is a raw and authentic film" or something like that. Which is good enough for me.
Seriously, if anyone knows Dutch and is really bored, email me at mynameismichaeltullyAThotmail and I'll have you translate it to me over the phone. I know that sounds like a lot of fun.
(The mere fact that I'm staring at an essay written in Dutch about our film proves once again that life is strange, ridiculous, and beautiful...)

Electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM or sometimes cryo-electron microscopy) is a form of electron microscopy (EM) where the sample is studied at cryogenic temperatures (generally liquid nitrogen temperatures). CryoEM is developing popularity in structural biology.
A version of electron cryomicroscopy is cryo-electron tomography (CET) where a 3D reconstruction of a sample is created from tilted 2D images, again at cryogenic temperatures (either liquid nitrogen or helium).
Consequently, the images are extremely noisy. For some biological systems it is possible to average images to increase the signal-to-noise ratio and retrieve high-resolution information about the specimen. This approach requires that the things being averaged are identical (e.g. ribosome particles). Analysis of ordered arrays of protein, such as 2-D crystals of transmembrane proteins or helical arrays of proteins, also allows a kind of averaging which can provide high-resolution information about the specimen. This technique is called electron crystallography.

Dryer settings in sheetfed offset printing
IR settings:
The IR dryer can be adjusted in steps or stepless. It is important that the operator selects the dryer settings according to the pile temperature recommended by the ink manufacturer. The pile temperature is applicable to the settings of the IR lamps. These settings have to be adjusted accordingly to ink coverage, printing material and printing speed.
Eltosch IR dryers can be used in manual or automatic mode. With use of the automatic mode (ASR) the IR lamp power will be automatically adjusted to reach the preselected pile temperature.
IR/HA dryer settings
In general the dryer settings have to be adjusted to the printing job. A variety of parameters influence the drying results, so it is not possible to give general recommendations for dryer settings.
Adjustment possibilities
The operator has the possibility to adjust the following parameter independently of each other.
- Hot air volume:
- Hot air temperature:
- Exhaust volume:
- IR lamp power:
Hot air-/ exhaust volume
- Preselect the maximum possible hot air and exhaust volume. Sheet travel is the only restriction for both the hot air and exhaust volume.
- Hot air volume should not be higher then the exhaust volume.
Hot air temperature adjustment
- Hot air temperature should generally be between 70° - 100°C (158°F - 212°F).
- Adjust the hot air temperature to the coating thickness. Thicker coating applications often need a higher air temperature.
- The operator should slowly touch down to the lower hot air limit to reduce the amount of energy and temperature load of the press.
IR lamp settings
- The IR lamps are mainly applicable for the pile temperature.
- Only preselect the minimum amount of IR lamps necessary. The pile temperature guidelines of the ink-/ coating manufacturer have to be followed up.
- Too high pile temperatures results in set off or blocking.
- The printer can use the dryer in manual or automatic mode. With use of the automatic mode (ASR), the IR lamp power will automatically be adjusted to reach the preselected pile temperature.
UV dryer settings:
In particular cases in the press, it is important that the dryer configuration is adjusted to the print job. Some inks need more UV power because ink components absorb UV radiation. The settings of the dryer power have to be adjusted to the following conditions:
- Inks like opaque white, black, and metallic effect inks need more UV power.
- Thick ink/ varnish layers need more UV power.
- When printing more overlapping inks, it is recommended to use more inter deck dryers.
- Low migration inks and varnishes often needs more UV power then conventional UV inks.
- With higher printing speed, higher UV power is necessary because the UV dose for curing is related to the press speed. Eltosch drying systems are equipped with an automatic mode. With selection of this mode, UV power output is linked to machine speed.
Too much UV power is critical when printing heat sensitive material. This can result in register warping. UV power decreasing can relieve this. If the majority of jobs are printed on heat sensitive materials, it should be considered to use Eltosch modules.

Bankruptcy filing complicates plans to auction closed concert venue-supper club
"The legal issues and all of that have nothing to do with our goal at the end of the day, which is to rekindle the fire at Anthology, because the city needs it," Buono said.
"We need all genres of live music in San Diego. I want a place that can make enough money to pay musicians what they're worth, and still turn a profit. It's a hill I feel we can climb ... and it's not for the money, but (because of) the passion for music."
Should they acquire Anthology, Buono, Kacha, Geraci and DePhilippis plan to rehire key former staff members, in particular the venue's veteran talent buyer and production manager, Michael Pritchard (who has since taken a similar position at Yoshi's in Oakland). But they would change the venue's seating configuration, food services, hours of operation and other aspects of the business.
"You have to turn some knobs and make (adjustments for) it to be (financially) successful, instead of a loser," Buono said. "And that's what we feel we can do. We'll do whatever makes mathematical sense."

Let's pretend that I'm President. The day before I'm to be replaced, I go and put the whole budget in to buying missles. Let's pretend that this takes 5 minutes to do, and that 5 minutes later I have been replaced as President. Do you blame the new President for the mass of weapons, or do you blame the person before who went and bought them? Relating that example to the state of the education system, you can't put the entire blame on Obama. Given the education system's history, Obama has only had a small amount of time to make any changes and these changes take time to come to fruition. It's not Obama's education system, it's America's education system.
Posted 04 October 2012 - 17:30
No, that's the same mistake. You're trying to put the fault of a system that has gone through years of regular changes in management on the shoulders of one person. If you want to blame this on the state of the education system then that blame is to be shared over many presidents, not just one.
the sum of your assumption... blame bush.
Posted 07 October 2012 - 15:20
You can't just cancel a contract like that.
Missiles don't get delivered in 5 minutes; your supposed example fails because it is absolutely the new president's fault if he doesn't cancel the missile order.
