Provisions and Procedures in dealing with Spillage Item # 1 Call your Supervisor The following provisions are included in the procedures and plans: Spill response and prevention controls clearly state measures to stop the source of a spill, contain the spill, clean up the spill, dispose of contaminated materials and train personnel to prevent and control future spills. Ensure that you know the requirements. Spill prevention plans are most applicable to the whole site including construction areas where hazardous materials and wastes are stored or used. The preliminary steps to prevent spills include • Identifying potential spill source areas such as loading and unloading, storage, and processing areas; places that generate dust or particulates and areas designated for waste disposal and • Evaluating stationary facilities that include manufacturing/processing areas, workshops, wash bays, warehouses, storage yards, fuel farms, parking areas and access roads. Employees must be trained in spill control response procedures, post-spill response and know the emergency numbers. Spill containment and cleanup kits should be located at spill- prone areas. The contents of the kit should be appropriate to the type and quantities of chemical or goods stored at the area. Spill kits must be inspected and maintained in all activity areas Refuel equipment in a designated area to minimize contamination. Pay attention to location so that spills would not enter drainage systems (dry rivers and tributaries) or storm water. Consider barriers (bunds, concrete floors, berms etc) or other containment systems. Most of all, address the root cause of the spill-causing problem (e.g. replacing faulty valve, modification of equipment etc) rather than the symptoms (repairing faulty valve and using wrongly designed equipment).

Astragal (Paperback)
As if the reader were riding shotgun, this intensely vivid novel captures a life on the lam. L astragale is the French word for the ankle bone Albertine Sarrazin's heroine Anne breaks as she leaps from her jail cell to freedom. As she drags herself down the road, away from the prison walls, she is rescued by Julien, himself a small-time criminal, who keeps her hidden. They fall in love. Fear of capture, memories of her prison cell, claustrophobia in her hideaways: every detail is fiercely felt.
Astragal burst onto the French literary scene in 1965; its fiery and vivacious style was entirely new, and Sarrazin became a celebrity overnight. But as fate would have it, Sarrazin herself kept running into trouble with the law, even as she became a star.
She died from a botched surgery at the height of her fame. Sarrazin's life and work (her novels are semi-autobiographical) have been the subject of intense fascination in France; a new adaptation of Astragal is currently being filmed. Patti Smith, who brought Astragal to the attention of New Directions, contributes an enthusiastic introduction to one of her favorite writers.
About the Author
Albertine Sarrazin (1937-1967) was a French-Algerian writer. At an early age she abandoned her studies and turned to a life of crime and prostitution. She wrote her first two novels in prison and died at twenty-nine.

Patti Smith is a writer, performer, and visual artist. She gained recognition in the 1970s for her revolutionary mergence of poetry and rock. Her seminal album Horses, bearing Robert Mapplethorpe s renowned photograph, has been hailed as one of the top 100 albums of all time. Her books include Witt, Babel, Woolgathering, The Coral Sea, and Auguries of Innocence. In 2005, the French Ministry of Culture awarded Smith the prestigious title of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres, the highest honor awarded to an artist by the French Republic. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Smith married the late Fred Sonic Smith in Detroit in 1980. They had a son, Jackson, and a daughter, Jesse. Smith resides in New York City.

About MeI am a photographer based in San Francisco, and do most of my photo shoots in the Bay Area. I enjoy photographing models both in a studio setting and on location. In addition to model photography I also do architecture, nature, and other outdoor photography.
I'm mainly interested in working with models for glamour, fashion, and fine art photography. I also do fine art and glamour nudes. Working in a studio setting is fun and gives you control over the light and setting but it's also great to try outdoor (or indoor with natural light) settings.
I'm always looking for new people to collaborate with and trade ideas. I'm willing to do trade-for shoots and special projects or custom arrangements.

"It is not government policy. Nor is it likely to become so," the spokeswoman for Spain's Economy Ministry said on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to discuss future policy discussions.
Spain's residency idea for foreign home buyers would not give permanent residency or the privilege of working.
It still would beat other offers from bailed-out EU countries like Ireland and Portugal, where residency papers are offered to foreigners buying houses worth more than €400,000 ($519,400) and €500,000 ($649,300) respectively.
Even though these plans increase the number of people who have an EU passport, the EU says citizenship issues are the responsibility of national governments.
Latvia, an EU nation on the Baltic coast, offers a deal where property buyers are eligible to receive residency permits if they buy real estate in the capital Riga worth €140,000 ($181,800) or places worth €70,000 ($90,900) in the countryside.
Hungary's parliament has begun debating a proposal that would give foreigners purchasing at least €250,000 ($324,600) in special bonds the possibility of obtaining residency rights but not citizenship. Lawmakers who drafted the proposal, which could be approved this year, say Chinese investors are among the groups targeted.

Cy Waits Not Okay With Paris Hilton's New Reality Show
"Paris loves and respects Cy very much," a source told E Online. "He has been through a lot with her. But sometimes it's hard on their relationship because he's not used to this lifestyle, the media and being on the show."
Waits is reportedly more than cautious when it comes to Hilton's small screen stint because he does not want to involve his young daughter in the media circus that Hilton brings with her -- a major contributing factor as to why the couple is "reevaluating" their relationship.
"Cy is very upset with 'The World According to Paris,'" the source continued. "He felt that way too much of their private life was shown. When he signed on to do the show, he had no idea the cameras would be so invasive."
We have a feeling we'll be seeing this minor tiff play out in full effect on Hilton's latest attempt at TV gold -- as to how it will end, we'll just have to wait and see.

We've all seen ads for diet programs that make losing lots of weight seem as quick and easy as posing for the "before and after" photos. But as anyone who has tried to lose weight knows, it can be a struggle.
It's easy to feel frustrated when we set a weight-loss goal and then don't drop all the pounds we planned to lose. That's why the best way to lose weight — and keep it off — is not to go on a diet. (Yes, you read that right!) Instead, make being healthy your ultimate goal, not a specific number on the scale.
The ideal approach to losing weight is to focus on making small, specific changes that are easy to stick with in the long run — like not eating while watching TV, replacing a lunchtime soda with water, or walking to the bus instead of getting a ride.
So instead of going on an all-out diet or exercising until your knees shake, try making one small change. Use our personal plan to guide you.
When you're finished, you can print a goal sheet to inspire you as you work to turn your change into something that feels like a natural part of your life. This personal plan tool also offers examples of how other people started their own small-change transformations.
When you've worked on your first change long enough that it has become a habit, make another change. Then another. These small changes all add up to a more successful way to lose weight.

Probably start in Western Europe around 800 CE, after aquainting myself better with at least Latin, and probably Old Norse as well, as both were widely spoken. I'd make sure to bring some modern weaponry, probably an assault carbine (an AK-74 would probably be best simply because of its sturdiness) for personal defense and to act as an intimidation factor. I would absorb as much knowledge on shipbuilding, early iron mining techniques, basic metallurgy, and animal husbandry beforehand, and try to find out some common gestures among extant Midwestern indigenous North American groups before I set out. I would then get horses and goats, as well as tools for metalworking and other pursuits. These would be loaded onto the finest ship I can have made, crewed by the most reliable and intelligent people I can find, ideally both men and women, all in good health. The next step would be to sail to North America and contact the Mound Builder cultures and try to instate myself as a person of power while working to mold a civilization that would last long enough and become advanced enough to give Columbus a warm, painful welcome. Deification isn't really the right term for my goal, I suppose. Being responsible for the rise of an enlightened and humane civilization as close to perfect as I can get it and therefore being known for the rest of human history in this new alternate universe is a closer description.

Those of you with children who reach milestones early
Two Adults, 3 Pets, and a Sweet Squish who joined our family on 9/4/2012.
I know they adjust with preemies but only during the infant stage.
I'm raising a human being, not managing an inconvenience.
Proud veggie AP momma to a little miss born 3/2/2012.
We go to library story time because he likes to play with the other kids. It's for 18-36 month olds; I don't expect him to sit quietly, or at all : ), if he's not into the story. I make sure my ideas of what someone his size and physical/verbal capability can do, don't take over what is actually right and ok for my little guy to do. I don't want him to feel bad for not impressing the other parents, kwim?
This is an odd question.
Are you over thinking, mama? : )
You try things out an see what works, you won't permanently scar your child by disciplining them in ways they aren't ready for as long as it isn't physically harmful. Worst outcome is it fails an everyone is frustrated.
Kids who are verbally and physically advanced generally aren't emotionally advanced and it doesn't make their impulse control any better. At 10 months no discipline is really appropriate and all you can do is redirect.
I've only managed summaries and a couple pages of most books, including positive discipline -- by the way, thank you ladies for the summaries and examples! -- However I can say a tad about age-appropriate discipline from experience. We have to have the same rules for my 9m old and my 2.5y old. They must be treated the same in many ways. DS must not see any differences because then he'll tell me "I'm a baby today." when I try to correct, etc.
So my 9m old gets the same lessons on sharing, even though I doubt that she understands it. And sometimes we all have to walk away from the toy or water bottle if the situation becomes too intense. We ask her to put away toys -- She's actuallly better than DS about filling a box with toys -- We correct and redirect hittiing, hair pulling, and kicking the same for both kids.
The worst/ most extreme is that DS has decided she should use the potty too. Luckily, she happily sits there kicking her feet against the potty as we read a book to her :-P
Your expectations of how a child responds should be based on what the child is capable of. Age is often used as a gauge, but there is no direct correlation.

A system that is responsive to the touch of an animal, and is activated by a combination of the inherent body capacity of the animal and the application of a skin resistance to a detector means. A digital oscillator provides two pulse outputs that are compared in a pulse processing means. One of the pulse outputs is fed to a touch responsive area, that in turn is connected to the pulse processing means, a buffer amplifier and a load. The touch responsive area activates the pulse processing means whenever the touch responsive area is bridged by a resistance and at the same time a body capacitance exists to ground.
1. A touch actuated system that responds to the touch of an animal, including: continuous pulse generating means for generating a pair of pulse outputs; at least one touch actuated detector means connected to receive said pair of pulse outputs; said detector means including a touch responsive area having two spaced conductor means which are adapted to be connected together resistively by an animal that has an inherent capacitance to ground; said touch responsive area having a first of said spaced conductor means connected to a first of said pulse outputs through an asymmetrically conducting impedance means; said touch responsive area having a second of said spaced conductor means connected to pulse processing means; and said pulse processing means connected to a second of said pulse outputs with said pulse processing means changing state to operate a load when an animal contacts said touch responsive area to alter the resistance between said spaced conductor means concurrently with said inherent capacitance being charged.
2. A touch actuated system as described in claim 1 wherein said two spaced conductor means includes a pair of closely spaced conductors formed in a pattern to define said touch responsive area.
3. A touch actuated system as described in claim 2 wherein said pulse processing means is electronic circuit means for comparing said second pulse output means with an output from said second of said spaced conductor means.
4. A touch actuated system as described in claim 3 wherein said pair of pulse outputs are alternate pulse outputs so that in the absence of an animal contacting said touch responsive area said electronic circuit means receives said pulse outputs alternatingly and is not responsive thereto.
5. A touch actuated system as described in claim 4 wherein said pair of pulse outputs are different in time duration.
6. A touch actuated system as described in claim 5 wherein said pulse processing means includes an inverter and flip-flop circuit; and wherein said animal is a human being.
7. A touch actuated system as described in claim 2 wherein said pattern is a grid work.
8. A touch actuated system as described in claim 7 wherein said pulse outputs are alternate pulse outputs of different time duration; and said pulse processing means includes inverter and flip-flop circuit means.
9. A touch actuated system as described in claim 8 wherein said pulse processing means further includes a bleed resistor to a circuit ground; and said circuit ground is connected to earth ground by a capacitor.
10. A touch actuated system as described in claim 9 wherein said animal is a human being capable of completing contact between said two spaced conductor means and said earth ground so that the inherent capacitance of said human being is charged to control said pulse processing means to operate a load.
There are numerous types of electrical control systems that are responsive to the touch of animals, such as humans, pets or domestic animals. These systems vary all the way from conventional electric contact devices to capacitive and resistive type devices that respond to the proximity of an animal or the shunting of the animals body resistance across an electric circuit. These systems are usually responsive to only one condition of presence of an animal, such as capacitive coupling as in a proximity switch, or actual physical movement as in the use of a conventional electric switch. Conventional electric switches which require movements are susceptible to contamination and mechanical failures. Switches which respond to electric capacity can be inadvertently actuated by the proximity of objects other than an animal. The deficiencies of these types of switching systems are overcome by the present invention.
The present invention is directed to a reliable touch actuated system. This touch actuated system will be generally described as being responsive to the touch of an animal. It is understood that the term animal includes human beings, pets and domestic animals. The present touch actuated system relies upon the use of an oscillator or generating means which generates a pair of pulse outputs. The pair of pulse outputs are fed to a detector means that includes a touch responsive area. One of the pulse outputs is fed through an asymmetric current conducting means and resistor to one conductor of a pair of spaced electrical conductors that make up the touch responsive area. The second conductor from the touch responsive pair of conductors is fed to a pulse processing network that has been disclosed as an inverter and a flip-flop. The flip-flop receives the second of the pair of pulse outputs. The two pulse outputs are compared and are in turn fed to a load that is capable of actuating any type of electric circuitry that is desired.
The touch responsive area has been disclosed as a grid of rectangular shape with interleaved conductors. Any type of configuration which utilizes a pair of conductors that are electrically separated and which can be bridged by the touch of an animal is satisfactory. The touching of the touch responsive area accomplishes two necessary functions before the system will respond. Firstly, the pair of conductors must be bridged resistively to electrically connect the two spaced conductors. Secondly, a capacitance to ground, which is inherent in animals such as humans, pets and domestic animals is capable of being charged to a voltage supplied from a first of the pulse outputs. The simultaneous application of the bridging resistance and the charging of the inherent animal capacitance to ground causes the pulse processing means to change state, thereby indicating that the detector means has been touched and the load is then operated.
With the present system, a more reliable touch sensing mechanism is provided than is available by mere capacitive proximity type touch devices or purely resistive touch type devices. The present arrangement also has no moving parts and is therefor not subject to the contamination and spurious types of operation that might be present in systems that rely only on one electrical condition being present before the system will operate.
FIG. 1 is an electrical schematic of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a group of wave forms in different parts of the schematic of FIG. 1, and;
FIG. 3 is one possible way of fabricating the touch responsive area that is used in the detector circuit.
In FIG. 1 a schematic diagram of a digital touch actuated system is provided. The energizing circuits, power supplies and similar conventional portions have been omitted for clarity sake, and are well understood in the electrical arts.
A pulse generating means 10 is shown encompassing the top portion of the figure, and utilizes conventional digital components to make up an oscillator circuit. The pulse generating means 10 has a pair of pulse outputs 11 and 12. The pulse generating means 10 includes two NOR gates 13 and 14 that are connected through a pair of resistors 15 and 16 to a capacitor 17 so that a square wave is generated on conductor 18. The square wave is supplied to a binary ripple counter disclosed at 20 and to terminal "C" of a flip-flop 21. A NAND gate is also energized from the binary ripple counter 20 and supplies a further input to "D" of the flip-flop 21. A NOR gate 23 is also connected across the input and output of the flip-flop 21 with one input of the NOR gate common to a buffer amplifier 24 which provides the pulse output 12. The flip-flop 21 has a pair of circuit grounds 25, with the circuit ground 25 connected through a capacitor 26 to an earth ground 27.
The pulse generating means 10, which is in the form of an oscillator circuit having a digital output of pulses on 11 and 12, can be fabricated in many different ways. The present pulse generating means 10 has the pair of pulse outputs 11 and 12 as shown in FIG. 2.
In FIG. 2 the pulse output 12 is disclosed as the first voltage pulse with respect to time, and the pulse output 11 is shown as the second voltage wave form with respect to time. It will be noted that the pulse output 12 is substantially wider than the pulse output 11 and that the two pulse outputs are alternate in existence with respect to time. That is, the voltage of pulse output 12 occurs, and then drops to zero prior to the generation of the voltage pulse output 11. The voltage output 11 then returns to zero at the time the voltage pulse output 12 reoccurs. These two wave forms have been schematically represented in FIG. 1 as existing on the pulse outputs 11 and 12 for reference sake as a matter of convenience.
Two detector means 30 have been disclosed, and it is understood that any number of detector means can be connected in the manner in which the two specific examples have been disclosed. Only one of the detector means 30 will be described in any detail, as all of the detector means 30 would be the same and would function in the same manner.
The pulse output 12, which is the longer duration pulse, is connected through a diode 31 and a resistor 32 that make up an asymmetric conducting impedance means. The resistor 32 is connected at 33 to the first of two spaced conductor means 34. The second of the spaced conductor means 35 is connected to a conductor 36. The two spaced conductor means 34 and 35 have been disclosed as a grid-like configuration which is generally rectangular in shape. The configuration or shape of the two spaced conductor means 34 and 35 is not material to the present invention. These could be spiral in nature, or any other plain geometric pattern that is convenient as long as two spaced conductors are provided and are electrically insulated from one another. An interelectrode capacitance 37 has been disclosed which would inherently exist in this type of electrical grid construction.
The conductor 36 is connected to a bleed resistor 40 which in turn is connected to the circuit ground 25. the conductor 36 is also connected to an inverter 41 which inverts the signal input on conductor 36 to the conductor 42. The conductor 42 is connected to a second flip-flop 43 which is again connected having the circuit grounds 25. The resistor 40, the inverter 41 and the flip-flop 43 make up a pulse processing means 44 and is connected by a conductor 45 to the pulse output 11, which has been shown schematically as the shorter in time span of the pulses from the pulse generating means 10. It will thus be noted that the flip-flop 43 has two different inputs one marked "C" and the other marked "D." These two inputs are compared by the flip-flop 43, as will be explained in connection with a description of the operation of the system.
The pulse processing means 44 further includes an output conductor 50 connected to the inverted output "Q" of the flip-flop 43, and conductor 51 connected to the circuit ground 25. The output conductors 50 and 51 connect to a load 52 which can be any type of electrical load which would normally include a buffer amplifier and electrical switching device which could be used to control any type of electrical equipment in response to the touch actuated detector means 30. As has been previously indicated, any number of detector means 30 and loads 52 can be connected to the pulse output 11 and 12. The inherent capacitance of an animal has been disclosed at 60, connected between the conductor 34 and the earth ground 27. The inherent capacitance 60 of an animal is required, as an essential operating element, for the touch actuated system disclosed. It should be understood that in the present invention the term animal has been very broadly used to include human beings, domestic animals and pets. The present touch actuated switch or system could be used by the application of a human's finger, an animal's paw or its nose. Any of these actuating functions would provide the two necessary elements, that is a bridging resistance between the conductors 34 and 35, along with the application of the inherent body capacitance 60 to earth ground. The present touch actuated system, therefore, would not respond to inanimate objects, electrical transient, dirt or contaminates which might short the conductors 34 and 35. The actual presence of an animal having an inherent capacitance to ground is essential, as will be understood in a description of operation of the system along with the voltage wave forms disclosed in FIG. 2.
In FIG. 2 the voltage wave form of the pair of pulse outputs 11 and 12 have been disclosed and have been previously described. A voltage output with respect to time on conductor 36 is disclosed in the third of wave forms. It will be noted that the wave form is basically the same as the pulse output 12 at the portion indicated as not being touched. This wave form is generated by the interelectrode capacitance 37 that would be present between the conductors 34 and 35. The last wave form disclosed is a voltage on conductor 50 with respect to ground, and indicates that during the period of time when the touch responsive area is not being touched that the conductor 50 has no voltage present.
Considering the wave form of voltage at conductor 36, when the touch responsive area is touched, for example a human finger, the conductors 34 and 35 are shorted together by a relatively low resistance and at the same time the voltage indicated at 61 is applied across the inherent body capacity 60. This inherent body capacity is charged by the voltage 61 and the body holds this voltage level long enough so that the voltage on conductor 36 rises and is inverted by the inverter 41 and applied to conductor 42 at the input "D" of the flip-flop 43. Due to the inverter 41, the voltage on conductor 42 is now a logic 0 or the absence of voltage. This is the inverse of the voltage that was present when the touch responsive area was untouched. The input of a voltage pulse 11 at this time provides the flip-flop 43 with a reversal of its previous output, thereby causing the conductor 50 to have a rise in voltage as disclosed at 62. This rise in voltage 62 remains as long as the touch responsive area is contacted by the finger. The load means 52 is arranged to receive the change in voltage to voltage 62 and to activate the load in any convenient manner.
It can be seen from the above discussion that the presence of an element, such as the human finger, across the conductors 34 and 35 causes the voltage on conductor 36 to change state and be inverted by the inverter 41. This inversion by inverter 41 combined with the pulse output 11 causes the flip-flop 43 to change state and activate the load 52. The mere application of a short circuit between the conductors 34 and 35 does not provide the necessary charging delay of capacitor 60 and voltage which are necessary to actuate the present system. The inherent body capacitance 60 of an animal is required.
In FIG. 3 a pictorial representation of one possible switch structure or touch responsive area has been disclosed. A dielectric substrate material 63 is disclosed having surface conductors 64 deposited on the substrate surface along with a pair of pads 65 and 66 which are used for interconnection to the touch responsive area 67. The touch responsive area 67 corresponds to the grid made up of conductors 34 and 35 in FIG. 1.
A very simple, but highly reliable touch actuated system has been disclosed. A single pulse generating means 10 having two output pulses operates any number of detector means and touch responsive areas to control various loads. The exact configuration of the electronics is not material as long as the system is designed to compare two pulse outputs in a pulse processing means after one of the pulses has been fed through a touch responsive area that is made up of two spaced conductor means. Since the present invention can be carried out in many different modes and for utilization by different types of animals, the exact configuration and utilization of the present invention is left to the skill of those working in the art. The present invention should be limited only in scope by the appended claims.

Also left a white and grey rimmed innova atlas on the course maybe 7 or 8 has my name and number on it.
yeah 2 disc's not a good day at rapids I know.
Mark McKeever June 14 at 10:50am
lost a dark grey Lat 64 (gold style) River on 10 about halfway to the basket went left maybe way left. has name and number on it in sharpie and silve paint pen would love to get it back.
Mark McKeever June 13 at 3:54pm
Ok going to play this afternoon to give this course another chance, it really sucked last summer when we went and tried to play it.could some one let me know if the downloadable map is accurate, not sure about the old and new 17/18 holes. hopefully there are some kind of arrows or marker to get around, it was a freaking mess out there trying to find our way around.
What time?
Could be there 3 to 4ish
will be there at 3 with the kids and some grandkids
Cool I'll try and be there too by then
ok, should be in a silver jeep
scratch the silver jeep will be driving my purple suburban
will sure be nice to play with someone who knows the course
Still at my kids game. Be there as soon as I can
Mark... I would wait till the end of June. New tee signs are still in prorgess. A couple of fairways tall grass still need to be mowed. We are doing scheduled work parties on thursdays and you welcome to come help...
Lost a brand new lat 64 dark grey (gold) river on 10 went left off tee pad about half way to the basket. maybe way left not sure the ferns are so bad spent 1/2 hour looking but no luck, has name and number on it in sharpie and silver paint pen. please return if found...I return all discs I find even though have never got 1 of mine back.
Ok now to my thoughts on the course, I made a bad review on rapids last june and it still stands, sorry to the guys doing all the work out there. I did see that they mowed the field at 1 kudos for that, but in the woods I didn't see much change the ferns and brush are pretty bad, find are way a ... more
Ok now to my thoughts on the course, I made a bad review on rapids last june and it still stands, sorry to the guys doing all the work out there. I did see that they mowed the field at 1 kudos for that, but in the woods I didn't see much change the ferns and brush are pretty bad, find are way around was still the same even though we had a map we still had to search. and 9 seems but not be where it says on the map. had Zac out there to kind of guide us around so thanks for that. now 10 where I lost my new river. that looks like a view from the jungles of south america. It sucked bad not that I lost a disc but for even findind the discs that were thrown straight. that is where we gave up on rapids and went home again. not because of the lost disc but just because It didn't look any different then last june . So there are my thoughts again on this course.
All the trails do need to be Weedeated. The grass under the baskets too and 11, 12, 17 and 18 are only real bad fairways atm. Sorry lost a disc, I'll go look today for it. Also tee posts a little close to pads on some.hit/kicked a couple tee posts on follow throughs little worried about what happens when the signs installed on them.
I also left a white and grey rimmed atlas on the course maybe around the basket at 7 or 8 . zac if you read this before you go out there it might be where I almost hit you or your friend yesterday with the atlas. has my name and number on it
Offer still stands Mark to come help work to make Keizer better... Courses don't get better without hard work
Mike Wilson June 11 at 10:26am
Hope to see several "helpers" tonight at 4:30!!!
you will see me! - where will we be working tonight? meet at main kiosk or by 6/7 pads?
Main kiosk
Mike Wilson June 9 at 11:42pm
Reminder of work party this Thursday:
If at all possible please bring a gas weed eater if you can, that will most helpful!
Start at 4:30
I'll see you there :-)
Hey is the course layout the same as it was or is all this work being done include any changes, I play it over a year ago and it sucked bad. had a map and still couldn't figure some of it out.I thought I read in the article in the keizer time that there were going to be changes to the course layout, If so might try it again when the work is all done.
It is probably the same but their is a map on the kiosk...
The course right now is in the best shape, probably since installation. The other sleeves can now be used so some baskets might move soon!
When you wanna play? Lmk I'll come out
Since last time you played H17 is probably new and old 17 is the new 18

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10200511002013300&id=1705313000 work being done at Keizer... It looks a lot different this evening... Crazy what a Lil elbow grease and money can get done.
thanks all, getting there
I just played it and some of the holes look like a brand new course!
Great work Jason, Mike and all! It really does look... playable! :-)
And you know... if I won't lose a disc on a course than no one will! :-)
Zac Teuscher June 8 at 3:35pm
You can see 14's basket from the tee pad now!
This mower is going to town!
Some may not like 15 for awhile... but I think I will! I'm going to Destroyer Hyzer Bomb it and be looking at the basket (I hope lol)
Tyler Franklin June 7 at 12:17pm
Lost a huk for independence kc pro glow roc on hole 1. Right hnd back hand shot off the tee hyzer'd out over the berm heading twards 16s fairway. AWSOME reward for its return. Not my name and number on the disc.
No luck today... I'll try again tomorrow while they are mowing the field
It wont be where it can be mowed. It will be in the brush. No need to go out of your way to find it. Unless your trying for the reward. In that case have at it. Lol. Thanks anyway zach.
Getting discs back to owners is my reward. Found two others and returned them and a nice hammer on 15? today anyways :-)
I accidentally walked away from a huk 4 Independence glow gator after my up shot, there a few weeks ago. Someone wanted it bad because my name and number was on it, yet no one returned it.
That was more like afew months ago wasnt it russ?
I found five but I'm sorry dude I couldn't find this one
I'd swing by and look though. He mowed more than you might think
It may have been longer it was rite before the tiger open so... but should it matter you put a name and a number on your disc, you want it back, correct?
After the dubs tourney I went looking for discs and confronted a guy who didn't play but had about 10 discs on him. He's only show me the one with no name on it...
Mike Wilson June 6 at 10:16pm
Just so everyone knows/remembers on Monday we have a bobcat operator coming out to mow all the scotch broom & all the surrounding areas. (Holes 1 & 2 along with holes 11 thru 18)
Not going to be a day for throwing, just so everyone knows!!
Yes awesome job
Can we come watch and/or help out in any way?
come check it out... these mowers are mind blowing.
Be by after a morning round at woods :-)
Cron Emus June 6 at 10:06pm

How bad is the Poison Oak now at Keizer Rapids park?
I'm still recovering from Wheatland DGC. Poison Oak got me last week.
keizer is also full of it
Keizer is way worse than wheetland right now.
Yeah about the same as Delavega...
invest in so Technu and you can play anywhere... lather up before the round and wash with it afterwards
also know what it looks like. easy to avoid.
Mike Wilson April 21 at 7:55pm
Please be aware that there will be a lot of Boy Scouts out at Keizer Rapids this weekend having a weekend long camp out and they will be doing some work on the park/course.
So please be aware that they will be out there and say thanks!
Zac Teuscher April 20 at 2:18pm
Played in the pond and walked the brush (twice)..
only found the Duck DGN disc on 6, I think, our final group threw..
I did find a guy "picling up" discs. I asked him what he found but he wouldn't show me any but a red MVP Glow Volt, maybe. I dont throw MVP so not sure on their discs.
He had about 10 discs under a towel and didn't appear to even play disc golf.
the red mvp shock was probably mine... there's people that steal discs from there without a doubt. all my discs are clearly marked inside the rim.
I lost a redish mvp axis hole 17, mine is also marked. Doubt i will get it back
That's funny mine happened to be hole 6 as well
i also left a green gstar destroyer somewhere between three and nine totally sucks needed it for LSO owell sucks to suck as dallas would say

Getting home first stop
... Campground in Landon Station Wisconsin near the Dells. We are the only ones in the park that aren't seasonal or residents. Great WiFi because no one is here! The owner stopped by and said after this coming graduation weekend the park will be full. It's park like with tall pines. We will decide our next stop tonight somewhere in Minnesota.

Wisconsin Dells, WI.
Wisconsin State - "America's Dairyland"
Decided to break the trip through to Minneapolis so stayed halfway at Wisconsin Dells. Reminded us of Pigeon Forge with amusement and water parks everywhere. A real summer holiday spot for the tourists. Population is 2600 but one hotel alone (Mt Olympus) advertised 1500 rooms.
We have now finally started the trip!
After a day at the factory and some extra effort this AM. The factory has got, I hope, all of Tina's problems solved. Left Decatur, IN at 9:30 this AM. Drove 435 miles today. So we have driven 1050 miles on our trip.
It was 41 degrees this AM when we went out.
The scenery is repetitive- corn fields as far as the eye can see. Less than exciting.
Westward to Winnebago we go

Since I have not been eating much solid food this is a risk, but one I take. My tongue is so sore and raw from the antibiotics that we stop at walgreens to get a remedy. THAT IS WHEN IT HAPPENED!

On to Door County Bakery. I didn't realize it was so far out of town, or we might have stopped in Fish Creek first. But the food there was fantastic. We got the quiche to go, plus some other yummy stuff and we managed not to spend too much. We took our food and headed south to Cave Point SP. Of course going the direct route we missed Bailey's Harbor.... oh well. ...

The dopamine receptors mediating inhibition of the sympathetic vasopressor outflow in pithed rats: pharmacological correlation with the D(2) -like type.
ABSTRACT This study investigated in pithed rats whether dopamine can inhibit the sympathetic vasopressor outflow and analysed the pharmacological profile of the receptors involved. Male Wistar pithed rats were pre-treated with intravenous (i.v.) bolus injections of gallamine (25 mg/kg) and desipramine (50 μg/kg). The vasopressor responses to electrical stimulation of the sympathetic vasopressor outflow (0.03-3 Hz; 50 V and 2 msec.) were analysed before and during i.v. continuous infusions of the agonists dopamine (endogenous ligand), SKF-38393 (D(1) -like) or quinpirole (D(2) -like). If inhibition was produced by any agonist, then its capability to inhibit the vasopressor responses to i.v. bolus injections of exogenous noradrenaline (0.03-3 μg/kg) was also investigated. Dopamine (3-100 μg/kg min.) inhibited the vasopressor responses to both electrical stimulation and noradrenaline. In contrast, SKF-38393 (10-100 μg/kg min.) failed to inhibit the vasopressor responses to electrical stimulation; whereas quinpirole (0.1-30 μg/kg min.) inhibited the vasopressor responses to electrical stimulation but not those to noradrenaline. The sympatho-inhibition by quinpirole (1 μg/kg min.) remained unaltered after i.v. SCH 23390 (300 and 1000 μg/kg; D(1) -like receptor antagonist), but was abolished after i.v. raclopride (1000 μg/kg; D(2) -like receptor antagonist). These doses of antagonists did not modify per se the sympathetically-induced vasopressor responses. In conclusion, quinpirole-induced inhibition of the sympathetic vasopressor outflow is primarily mediated by activation of dopamine D(2) -like receptors.

Article: Pharmacological evidence that 5-HT1A/1B/1D, α2-adrenoceptors and D2-like receptors mediate ergotamine-induced inhibition of the vasopressor sympathetic outflow in pithed rats.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The sympathetic nervous system that innervates the peripheral circulation is regulated by several mechanisms/receptors. It has been reported that prejunctional 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, D2-like receptors and α2-adrenoceptors mediate the inhibition of the vasopressor sympathetic outflow in pithed rats. In addition, ergotamine, an antimigraine drug, displays affinity at the above receptors and may explain some of its adverse/therapeutic effects. Thus, the aims of this study were to investigate in pithed rats: (i) whether ergotamine produces inhibition of the vasopressor sympathetic outflow; and (ii) the major receptors involved in this effect. For this purpose, male Wistar pithed rats were pre-treated with gallamine (25mg/kg; i.v.) and desipramine (50µg/kg) and prepared to stimulate the vasopressor sympathetic outflow (T7-T9; 0.03-3Hz) or to receive i.v. bolus of exogenous noradrenaline (0.03-3µg/kg). I.v. continuous infusions of ergotamine (1 and 1.8μg/kg·min) dose-dependently inhibited the vasopressor responses to sympathetic stimulation but not those to exogenous noradrenaline. The sympatho-inhibition elicited by 1.8μg/kg·min ergotamine was: (i) unaffected by saline (1ml/kg); (ii) partially antagonised by WAY 100635 (5-HT1A; 30μg/kg) and rauwolscine (α2-adrenoceptor; 300μg/kg), and (iii) dose-dependently blocked by GR 127935 (5-HT1B/1D; 100 and 300μg/kg) or raclopride (D2-like; 300 and 1000μg/kg), The above doses of antagonists did not modify per se the sympathetically-induced vasopressor responses. The above results suggest that ergotamine induces inhibition of the vasopressor sympathetic outflow by activation of prejunctional 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B/1D, α2-adrenoceptors and D2-like receptors in pithed rats.European Journal of Pharmacology 06/2014; DOI:10.1016/j.ejphar.2014.06.036 · 2.68 Impact Factor
Article: Risk of heart failure following treatment with dopamine agonists in Parkinson's disease patients[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Dopamine agonists (DAs) are frequently used to treat early or advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. They have been shown to be efficacious for the treatment of motor symptoms and for delaying levodopa-induced dyskinesias. However, their utilization is limited by the risk of adverse drug reactions, some of which affect the cardiovascular system. Recently, the US FDA identified a possible association between exposure to pramipexole and the risk of heart failure. Areas covered: This article begins by reviewing the pharmacodynamic and cardiovascular effects of DAs on PD patients. Pharmacoepidemiological studies about the association between DAs and heart failure are then evaluated. Expert opinion: Four nested case-control studies were reviewed. In general, results showed higher heart failure risk following use of pramipexole or cabergoline. Although the effects of cabergoline may be explained by the induction of cardiac valve fibrosis, the basis for the significantly increased risk associated with pramipexole is unclear. It remains to be determined if these are dose-related effects, at what point they occur during the course of treatment, and if the risk is the same for all patients irrespective of other potential modifying factors, such as age and sex.Expert Opinion on Drug Safety 03/2014; 13(3):351-60.

Article: Pharmacological Evidence That Dopamine Inhibits the Cardioaccelerator Sympathetic Outflow via D2-Like Receptors in Pithed Rats.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It has been suggested that N,N-di-n-propyl-dopamine (dopamine analogue) decreased heart rate in rats through stimulation of dopamine receptors. Nevertheless, the role of prejunctional dopamine D1/2-like receptors or even α2-adrenoceptors to mediate cardiac sympatho-inhibition induced by dopamine remains unclear. Hence, this study identified the pharmacological profile of the cardiac sympatho-inhibition to dopamine in pithed rats. Male Wistar rats were pithed and prepared to stimulate the cardiac sympathetic outflow or to receive i.v. bolus of exogenous noradrenaline. I.v. continuous infusions of dopamine (endogenous ligand) or quinpirole (D2-like agonist) dose-dependently inhibited the tachycardic responses to sympathetic stimulation, but not those to exogenous noradrenaline. In contrast, SKF-38393 (100 μg/kg∙min, D1-like agonist) failed to modify both of these responses. The sympatho-inhibition to dopamine (1.8 μg/kg∙min) or quinpirole (100 μg/kg∙min): i) remained unaltered after saline or the antagonists SCH-23390 (D1-like, 300 μg/kg) and rauwolscine (α2-adrenoceptors, 300 μg/kg); and ii) was significantly antagonized by raclopride (D2-like, 300 μg/kg). These antagonists, at the above doses, failed to modify the sympathetically-induced tachycardic responses. The above results suggest that the inhibition of the cardiac sympathetic outflow to dopamine and quinpirole is primarily mediated by prejunctional D2-like receptors but not D1-like receptors or α2-adrenoceptors.Journal of Pharmacological Sciences 11/2013; DOI:10.1254/jphs.13104FP · 2.11 Impact Factor

B-Dawg is a puppy who appears, along with his brothers and sister, in the Air Buddies film series. His favorite sport is basketball.
B-Dawg enjoys hip-hop, bling and rap. He wears a silver chain necklace with the letter "B" and usually ends his sentences with "Dawg." His catchphrase is: "I am the ultimate P-U-P!" B-Dawg is always trying to show off and make everyone think he's not scared, though in reality, he actually is. When he's talking to his brothers and sister or his mom, he always talks in slang, which often perplexes them. He is sometimes rebellious, as shown in the first film when Mrs. Niggles told them to rest, he said, "No one tells B-Dawg he has to take a nap." He lives in Fernfield, Washington, with his famous all-star father Air Bud (Buddy) and his mother Molly. His owner is Billy, a boy who is into music and dancing.
- In the first movie's poster, he is seen wearing sunglasses. However, he does not wear them at all in the live-action movies.
- He had his voice done by the same actor longer than any other Buddy. Skyler Gisondo voiced him from 2006 to 2012.

Forbes: Ubisoft should 'refund anyone' bought Assassin's Creed: Unity
We've been all over the Ubisoft scandal over the last year or so, since Watch Dogs began experiencing its delays and problems, but it's great to see more of the mainstream sites out there tackling this glaring issue. Forbes contributor Erik Kain has come out with a very damning article, titled ''Assassin's Creed: Unity' Makes A Strong Case For Video Game Recalls'.
His article talks about everything game-related, with multiple games like Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4 and Assassin's Creed: Unity all being released before they were ready. Kain does say that "Ubisoft obviously has the ability to release great video games. Far Cry 4 is great as was Far Cry Blood Dragon and Child of Light and the Rayman series", but Assassin's Creed: Unity has "undermined much of the good will the publisher built with its consumer base recently", and I'd have to agree.
Kain finishes his article saying: "It's time to make that right. Refund anyone who has purchased the game. Recall the copies still on shelves. Fix the game before releasing it to the public. Half-finished, buggy releases like this have no place in today's industry". This statement right there is something that I'm sure many of you will agree with.
The Steam Fall Sale begins next week, prepare your wallets
When Valve unleashes its Steam sales, all gamers sit up and take notice. Well, according to PayPal, Valve will kick off its Steam Fall Sale on November 26, two days before Black Friday in the United States.
Valve hasn't provided an official date for its Black Friday gaming sale, but PayPal is spreading the news to draw in customers to order themselves some Steam Wallet Codes through its online gift store. We don't know the exact dates just yet, but we should expect Valve to announce the sales in the coming days, which should end on December 1, or "Cyber Monday".
Activision hates glitch videos of the new COD, issues takedowns
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is now out, with the franchise itself generating over $10 billion in sales for Activision, but the studio is now going after people who are uploading glitch videos and game-breaking issues onto video-sharing sites like Machinima and YouTube.
Activision is flagging the videos for possible copyright if they show off glitches in the new first-person shooter, with Machinima saying Activision is very trigger happy with takedowns right now. YouTubers and other video-sharing users aren't happy, even if Activision claims they're only going after glitch videos that highlight cheats and exploits in their powerhouse title.
Activision explains: "We're excited that so many fans are having fun playing the game and posting videos of their gameplay. We love watching the videos ourselves. Occasionally, some folks post videos that promote cheating and unfair exploits. As always, we keep an eye out for these videos-our level of video claims hasn't changed. We are appreciative of the community's support in helping to ensure that everyone has the best playing experience possible".

Project Cars will run on Microsoft Xbox One at 60fps
Bandai Namco's Project Cars video game will run at 60 frames per second on the Microsoft Xbox One when it is released on March 17, 2015. Game developer Slightly Mad Studios wanted to reach 1080p resolution for the Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4, but didn't confirm if that goal was reached just yet.
"You've played it in Dubai, London, Madrid, and Paris, but for those that couldn't jet-set around the world, sit back and take a more leisurely look at Project Cars on Xbox One, running at 60 frames per second," according to Bandai Namco.
The game will launch for the Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Wii U, and PC. It was originally scheduled for a November 2014 launch, but was forced to delay the game without specific details offered to gamers.
Valve tells Early Access developers to 'lift their game'
Valve has made the 'PC Master Race' proud, sending out an updated set of Early Access rules and guidelines to supported developers earlier this week. This is said to ensure that they 'set proper expectations' of their game when customers decide to utilize this offering.
This announcement has reportedly come around due to users being generally unhappy with Early Access protocols and offerings. It's been claimed that developers have been releasing Early Access games before fans felt they were properly complete or have stopped development on the game all together - meaning Valve had to remove them from their Steam platform. Giant bomb originally released this information to the public which follows an interesting report that claims most Early Access games still function in BETA even after 20 months have passed, alongside this only 25% of games have been fully released.
This seems like not only a way for Valve to ensure customers are happy with the games that they are playing, but for developers to actually carry out the purpose of Steam Early Access which is quoted as by Wikipedia: "Early access, alpha funding, or paid-alpha is a funding model in the video game industry by which consumers can pay for a game in the early stages of development and obtain access to playable but unfinished versions of the game, while the developer is able to use those funds to continue work on the game."
Snoop Dogg to make an appearance in into DOTA 2
Dota 2 is one of the big-hitters in the global eSports scene, seeing millions of dollars of prize money distributed each year in a massive once-off event named "The International" and viewed live by hundreds of thousands of screaming fans across the globe.
As amazing as this sounds, you can't forget the small things. Dota is well known for keeping in constant contact with its community members, providing support through community generated tournaments being published in their in-game client, to model developers being able to sell their products officially through Valve services.
In comes the latest installment in Dota's lifespan - Snoop Dogg. If you're interested in a little variety of game play, Dota2 allows players to change up their 'announcer' voice pack, meaning that all in-game announcements will come through a different voice than the official standard one supplied. Thanks to Snoop Dogg's popular involvement in meme culture, some savvy Dota2 players had decided to create a partition to get the Dogg in on this project, linking it back to Reddit.om's Dota2 section.
Guess what, Snoop Dogg replied.

Valve sneaks in-game ads into DOTA2
A post on the DOTA2 subreddit has shown the world that Valve has just sneaked in some form of in-game ad for DOTA2, which popped up onto a Redditor's game asking them if they'd like to buy a Charm of the Defender's Vision.
You can click 'No Thanks!' but this still doesn't take away from the fact that Valve just slipped in-game ads into their games. The title of the post in the DOTA2 subreddit is pretty harsh, and rightly so: "Valve has now introduced IN-GAME ADS, I hope nobody is ok with this."
What do you think about Valve introducing in-game ads to DOTA2?

Far Cry 4 doesn't include FOV adjustments, for pirated versions
Pirated versions of Far Cry 4 are making the rounds on various sites and services around the world, but it is missing a very important part of the game: field-of-view adjustments. FOV controls are completely missing from the pirated versions of Far Cry 4 on the PC.
Why? Well, Creative Director on the game, the now infamous Alex "Low Res FTW" Hutchinson took to his Twitter account, saying: "PC players! If you're online complaining about the lack of FOV control ... You pirated the game". The proper copies of Far Cry 4 feature an FOV slider, but it's nice to see Ubisoft trolling pirates with taking a simple, but important version of the game out.

Who is Mysterion, seriously?
south park has two good episodes in a row!?
Cartman tries to fight crime as the Coon
A great take on all our favourite comic book heroes (and possibly villians)
Cartman has watched The Dark Knight one time too much, while he tries to figure out who Mysterion really is. With a little help of Professor Chaos and General Dissoray
- Trivia & Quotes
Quotes (1)
Professor Chaos: This way! We will now show you our secret headquarters of doom. The Coon: You guys have your own storage facility? Professor Chaos: Actually it belongs to General Disarray's grandma, but she lets us use it. This is where we come up with all our evil plans. Here's our computer relays. And this is like a.. a cube of chaos that can destroy the world in one second! And here's some of our evil minions! We have everything we need here. Can I offer you a Coke or a Sprite or something? The Coon: I'll take a Sprite.

International airdates: Latin America: January 11, 2010 on MTV Latinoamerica.
Trivia (4)
There's an alternate ending that is see in the Season 13 box set were after The Coon rides off on his tricycle it shows Mysterion in jail who reveals to Kyle taking the fall. Then the Real Mysterion appears to thank Kyle and reveals his identity to Kyle.
The fingers on Cartman's hand keep changing from three to four.
The clerk at the Airport Hilton mentions Cartman's Ginger Pride Rally and AIDS Benefit.
According to Professor Chaos's wall dedicated to tracking down Mysterion, the possible suspects include Kyle, Tweek, Stan, Clyde, Craig, Kevin, Kenny, or Jason. Jimmy, Token, Cartman, and Timmy have been crossed out.
Allusions (4)
Spider-Man 3: The fight at the construction building is very similar to Spider-Man 3 where Spider-Man fights Venom and the Sandman and then Harry Osborn comes to aid the hero.
Watchmen: The constant calling of the city as a whore in need of help might be a reference to Rorschach from Watchmen and his lines about how corrupt the city has become.
A Leprechaun in Mobile: On the news coverage of Mysterion, an African-American gentleman with a gold tooth and blue hat asks the people in the crowd if they've seen Mysterion to say yeah. This reference comes from the 2006 story and viral video hit A Leprechaun in Mobile in which a similar gentleman asks the Mobile, AL crowd if they've seen the leprechaun in a tree say yeah.
The Dark Knight: The entire episode is a parody of The Dark Knight complete with the secret identities, the husky voices, and the idea to blow up a hospital.

We came across the Star Skaters sled hockey team from someone whom is currently participating. This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. My son has been participating for about 6 weeks now and cannot get enough. I highly recommend anyone interested to try it at least once and you will be hooked. I also want to thank Jim O'neill, the coaches and all of the volunteers in Houston for making this a wonderful experience.

Congratulations to the StarSkaters Sled hockey team on winning the Silver in Boston. All of your hard work paid off. I hope your success encourages others to try out the sleds and learn what great fun sledding is.

The joy and confidence this program brings to the participants is beyond measure. I have the privilege of joining them once or twice a year, and am ever amazed at their abilities on ice. A sled hockey participant, who is usually in a wheelchair, said " it's like flying". The volunteers, and the organizer of STARskaters are all exceptional people offering an exceptional experience to those with disabilities. I'm humbled by their efforts and it's a privilege to know them.

My daughter participates as a skater with STARskaters every weekend, something that she and I both look forward to. STARskaters provides one-on-one instruction for every skater. I appreciate all the hard work the volunteers put into this organization. As a parent, I truly believe STARskaters has helped my daughter grow and make new friends, and I encourage others to support this wonderful organization.

Comment flagged as a guess, not an answer... misleading. Click here to view.
^^ Don't got by a suggestion like that. I wish people would not answer when they don't know the answer. You don't want to "just guess" when it comes to your comfort or safety outdoors. The ratings are always available from the companies that produce the gear - don't just ask and let random people tell you what they "think" when the info is out there for you to find.
