Rafting the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument – Colorado – Photoby Chris Christensen Add comments
categories: USA Travel
I had a great opportunity last week when I rafted the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument. George Wendt from Oars.com had been a guest on Rafting Down the Grand Canyon – Episode 223 and had invited me on this trip as his guest. The Green River cuts through rocks as old as 1 billion years old like the formation in this photo.

Odors from the septic drainfield or soakaway bed: this article explains how to diagnose & correct sewer gas or septic odors (and other building smells and odors traced to a failed septic drainfield, leachfield or soakaway bed. Some of the diagnostic steps pertain to all seasons, others to cold weather conditions.
The photograph at page top shows green septic dye appearing in a septic system drainfield during a septic loading and dye test. Even before we performed this test to confirm that the liquid found on the surface of the drainfield area was indeed septic effluent (coming from the septic tank), sewage odors in the drainfield area outdoors told us that the septic field was in trouble. Also see our broad-scope article on diagnosis and cure of sewer gas and septic odors: Sewer Gas Odors diagnosing, finding, and curing septic tank and sewer line smells.

How to Investigate & Repair Failed Drainfields and Septic Odors
Notice sewage odors present outdoors, strongest in and traced to the known or most-likely area for the septic drainfield or leach field, also called the soakaway bed or soil absorption system.
[Click to enlarge any image]
Look for wet areas in or near the septic drainfield. Consider performing a septic loading and dye test to confirm that the wet areas found are septic effluent from the septic tank.
Even if wet areas around a septic leach field are local ground water or runoff, the added water load that those conditions place on the septic drainfield may themselves constitute a septic failure or may require site work to redirect those water sources away from the drainfield.
If the septic system drainfield is blocked or failed it may be possible to reroute effluent to an un-used or under-used section of the drainfield (if effluent was not being distributed uniformly in the first place) - check the distribution box (if any).
There will be additional evidence of septic field condition in the D-box; if the box is flooded either these lines are blocked (such as by poor, uneven installation, tree roots, or a collapse, something not too likely unless you drove a truck over the fields), or the field has stopped percolating and needs replacement.
If on opening the D-box or excavating a drainfield line you see standing water in the leachfield line, either the field is saturated - lost perc - or the line has collapsed nearby and is not flowing.
You can test this by running a hose into the leach line from the D-box or from your point where you've cut it open.
Sometimes you'll see that only one field line is saturated and failed - you can close it off in the D-box and just use the others to give the saturated one a rest, but at the end of the day, you probably need a new drainfield.
See SEPTIC D-BOX INSTALL REPAIR for help in finding and inspecting the septic system drainfield distribution box.
Septic Repair Shortcuts and Septic Treatment Products and "Magic bullet" septic repair products and procedures like chemicals, additives, root killers, or soil restorers are mostly ineffective, waste money, and in some cases are illegal as they contaminate the environment. If the septic system drainfield is blocked or failed, most often the property needs a new drain field.

Backup Exec 12.5 Jobs Do Not Finish!
Hello! Please help!
I am running Backup Exec 12.5 Revision 2213 on a Windows Server Standard FE SP2 x64.
The backups run to an HP C5683A 3 1/2" tape drive.
The backups have run daily, for years, without almost any incident until this week. For no apparent reason, the nightly backups are showing as still running the following day. The byte count shows a full backup has run, but the Job Status is still in a running state. the only way i can stop the job is by killing the Backup Exec Job Engine service.
On a few separate occasions the job status showed as "On Hold" all night, but ran without a hiccup once i manually ran it.
Any takers?
Comments 9 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Make sure your backup job has the option "Eject Media After Job Completes" selected.
and I have seen this before resolved by installing this hotfix. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...
The "Eject Media After Job Completes" option is selected.
LiveUpdate shows that "There are no more products than can be updated by LiveUpdate", and the hotfix you suggested is not listed in the Installed Updates.
Is it possible to manually download and install the hotfix outside of LiveUpdate for 12.5?
It is...you just need to head to the BE support site and filter for BE 12.5, and then download the specific HF/SP.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
If there is an event logged about "Please remove the media from the drive", there should be alerts from Backup Exec as well.. From Tools - Options - Preferences, do ensure the option to automatically display new alerts is checked.
Some tape units do not support automatic eject of the media..In this case, you may configure automatic response using http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...

FRISCO, Texas – Lumberjack Anthony Gallardo was named the Southland Conference Freshman of the Year, announced by league officials in conjunction with the all-conference teams Thursday afternoon.
"Anthony has done a tremendous job all season and is very deserving," head cross-country coach Cody Clark said. "I felt like going into the conference championships he had a shot at being top freshman and got the job done on the day, I am very proud of him.
"Anthony will have a great opportunity to do well at the South Central Region next Friday. If he starts the race a little smarter, then he can do well. It will be nice to see if he can be the top freshman in the region, which I think he can."
Gallardo is the first 'Jack to win the freshman honor since Mitch Ownbey in 2008. The native of San Antonio, Texas, finished eighth (25:27.30) in the men's 8,000-meter run to claim second team All-SLC honors at the SLC Cross Country Champions on Nov. 1.
The freshman was one of four SFA runners to land on the all-conference teams, joined by Nick Guerra (first team), Cody Brown (second team) and Laurie Byrd (second team). Guerra (25:03.00) finished third third overall, followed by Brown (25:16.30) in sixth (25:16.30), while Byrd (21:30.90) led the Ladyjacks with a sixth place finish in the 6,000-meter run.
The top-15 finishers in each race earned All-Southland Conference honors. The top five finishers earned first-team honors, while the next five finishers were named to the second team. The 11th through 15th finishers earned honorable mention all-conference honors.

AXYS at SETAC 2013: Session chairs, platform and poster presentations in Nashville, TN November 17 to 21
AXYS' analytical leadership is founded on scientific excellence. AXYS co-chaired 2 sessions at SETAC - "Occurrence, Fate, and Behavior of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in the Global Environment" and "Advances in Environmental Metabolomics", both with the US EPA. AXYS also presented 2 platforms and 3 posters at the conference.
AXYS expands offering for analysis of per- and polyfluorinated substances
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) constitute a diverse class of chemicals which have been globally manufactured since the 1950s and continue to be in use today. Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs, including PFOS and PFOA), are the most commonly studied PFAS due to their widespread occurrence in the environment, including human blood and remote arctic wildlife. The occurrence of PFAAs can arise from direct commercial use, but also from the degradation of precursor substances (i.e. PFAA-precursors). To aid researchers in understanding and characterizing sources of PFAA exposure, AXYS is pleased to announce the development of new methods for the quantitative analysis of the following PFAA-precursors:
AXYS offers the widest range of PFAA and PFAA-precursor analysis of any commercial lab. Contact our Sales staff today to learn more.
AXYS expands Naphthenic Acid method to additional matrices
Through continual improvement processes, AXYS has implemented method updates for the Naphthenic Acid method to expand into solid and tissue matrices. This method has direct application to fingerprinting projects related to the oil sands. Please contact AXYS Sales staff to learn more.
AXYS develops a combined PPCP and Hormone method for POCIS media
AXYS has developed a combined method to test for PPCP and Hormones in POCIS. The test allows clients to test for 162 compounds from 1 sample, which reduces sampling costs without impacting detection limits. Contact AXYS Sales staff today to learn more.
AXYS' Dr. M. Coreen Hamilton receives the 2013 Caledon award
The 2013 Caledon award, which recognizes a Canadian who has made "significant scientific, technological or administrative contributions in the analytical chemistry of trace organic residues", was awarded to Dr. Hamilton at the 48th Annual Western Canada Trace Organic Workshop in Vancouver, BC in May 2013.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Atlanta Falcons are chosen for HBO's 'Hard Knocks' training camp TV series
You have the sense that most teams in the National Football League, at least the general managers and coaches, would just as soon do without the burden of appearing on HBO's "Hard Knocks."
As interesting and engaging as it may be for football fans and television viewers, coaches cannot enjoy having a crew of 30 people descend on their training camp to record whatever they may find.
You have a sense it's a pain that gets passed around from team to team.
The millstone this year belongs to the Atlanta Falcons, who will be the focus of the five-episode ninth season of the show, which premieres at 9 p.m. on Aug. 5.
"We are looking forward to connecting with our fans across the country as the program chronicles our 2014 training camp," Falcons head coach Mike Smith said in a press release announcing the Falcons' participation.
Yeah, right, coach.
That cannot be what Smith actually feels about getting hard knocked. You get a sense he took this one for Arthur Blank, who is among those owners who does not confine himself to his box during games, but many times takes up a ready-for-his-closeup position on the sideline.
D. Orlando Ledbetter covers the Falcons for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He is a former reporter and columnist for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and is president of the Pro Football Writers Association.
Ledbetter said he was not surprised that the Falcons were reeled in for "Hard Knocks" this time, after turning HBO down in 2009 and '12.
Blank's fondness for the limelight is one motivation to be on "Hard Knocks." Getting revenue for a new stadium is another.
"They are trying to move PSLs for the new stadium," Ledbetter said in an email, referring to personal seat licenses. "They need to sell about $100 to $200 million worth as part of the $1.2 billion financing plan."
Ledbetter said "Hard Knocks" cameras will get a kick out wide receivers coach Terry Robiskie, special teams coach Keith Armstrong and new defensive line coach Bryan Cox.
"(Wide receiver) Roddy White will be entertaining and perhaps safety William Moore," Ledbetter said.
One storyline will be the return of wide receiver Julio Jones from foot surgery. Another might be defensive end Kroy Biermann, who is married to Kim Zolciak, one for the former "Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Fans outside of Atlanta may not have a sense of who quarterback Matt Ryan is exactly, but "Hard Knocks" no doubt will try to define some of him. Tim Lewis, by the way, is the team's secondary coach. He played cornerback for the Packers between 1983-'86.
Viewers of "Hard Knocks" are usually never the losers in this enterprise, because the show's producers have a sense of where the good stories reside, or just have the good sense to get out of the way and let certain kinds of personalities chew the scenery.

"I definitely think that we had an opportunity to go back-to-back and unfortunately things were blown up," Chandler said on the eve of the undefeated Knicks (3-0) hosting Dallas (4-1) Friday at Madison Square Garden. "But that's the business side of it, that's something the players can't control."
Instead, Cuban opted to blow the team up after winning the franchise's first championship in 2011 over LeBron James and the Heat. Chandler joined the Knicks in a sign-and-trade last December that resulted in him signing a four-year deal worth $58 million.

White oval 7296 one side and TV On other
Not Medical Advice:
An oval white pill with the imprint 7296 on the front, and TV on the back of it is 25mg of Carvedilol (made by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA).
Carvedilol is a non-cardioselective beta blocker that is used to treat left ventricular dysfunction, heart failure, high blood pressure, angina, and atrial fibrillation.
There is a low risk of abuse with this drug. This prescription-only medication may pose a risk to an unborn fetus, and should be used only under a doctor's supervision.
After decades of use as a first-line therapy in treating hyper-tension, beta-blockers are beginning to lose their shine.
According to Dr. Clive Rosendorff at the Annual Cardiovascular Conference at Snowmass, Colorado, the consensus is that "beta-blockers are a poor choice for uncomplicated hypertension."

dealer, Get Dicey reveals everything about craps in a
fun-to-read book that quickly explains how to play craps.
Whether you have already played craps or want to play
craps for the first time, it's hard to learn how to play
when you're on a live game. Craps is fast-paced, which
leaves little time for casino staff or even your buddies to
tell you what is going on. Here's what it's like:
|know why.
Eliminate the mystery from craps
It's really more fun when you know what is going on.
Then you can enjoy the anticipation of the numbers
you're rooting for and fully realize the thrill of seeing
them roll.
Get Dicey: Play Craps and Have Fun will totally connect
you to craps – the biggest most exciting game in the
casino. Written by a Las Vegas craps dealer – who has
personally experienced thousands of hours of live
craps game action – Get Dicey will explain everything
you need to know as a player.
"For starters, craps has over 30 different bets to
choose from, but they certainly aren't all good
For example, those fun hardway bets that dealers are
supposed to entice you into playing give a minimum of
a 9% advantage to the casino. Compare this to the far
friendlier pass line bet with double odds that only gives
a mere 0.6% (that's less than 1%) advantage to the
casino. In Get Dicey, clear tables will show you the
good bets from the bad bets.
Armed with the knowledge of the best bets on the craps
table, you will be in a position to win the most money
possible when you get on a hot game.
"Players who don't know how to play frequently miss out
on hundreds, even thousands of dollars in winnings."
They don't bet their odds or they're wasting money on
the wrong bets. With the powerful craps betting
strategies laid out in Get Dicey, you'll be able to take
your game (and your winnings) to the next level.
After you read Get Dicey, you'll never make a rookie
mistake again.
|The author of Get Dicey wrote this book for all players.
As a craps dealer, the author introduced countless
people to the game, but a busy casino is no place to try
and explain how to play craps. Now, in Get Dicey,
everything about craps can be revealed. It's all true.
Going to a casino is about having fun too. Of course
winning is the most fun, but you also want to fit into the
exciting atmosphere. The game of craps is steeped in
tradition and there are points of etiquette to observe as
a matter of politeness to other players. Also, because
craps is such a hands-on game for the players, there are
rules the casino will enforce. It's best to know them.
In fact, the craps scene is so interesting, the chapter

SALEM, Ohio — Carroll, Columbiana and Harrison counties led the state for the number of Utica shale well permits issued in June.
Carroll and Columbiana counties both had eight permits issued by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, according to the department's recent Utica shale activity report.
In Carroll County, permits were issued in Loudon, Union, Augusta, Lee, Washington townships, and two in Fox Township. The permits were issued to Chesapeake Exploration. A permit was also issued in Rose Township to Enervest Operating, LLC.
In Columbiana County, seven of the eight permits issued were to Chesapeake Exploration as well. They were issued in Hanover, Unity, Salem, Hanover, Butler townships, and two in Elkrun Township. In addition, Swepi, LP., a subsidiary of the Shell Corporation, received its first permit in Ohio, according to the ODNR. The well will be located in Unity Township.
In Harrison County, seven permits were issued. This is the county where the highly touted Buell well is located. Permits were issued to Chesapeake Exploration in Rumley Township and two in Stock Township. According to the ODNR, two permits were issued in Moorefield Township to Gulfport Energy Corporation, and Hess Ohio Development received permits in Green and Athens townships.
The number of permits issued in Noble County increased by five in June, according to the ODNR. Three permits were issued in Beaver Township to R.E. Gas Development, LLC. In adddition, a permit was issued in Buffalo Township to Antero Resources Appalachian Group and one was issued in Seneca Township to CNX Gas Co.. LLC.
In Belmont and Guernsey counties, three permits were issued in each county. In Belmont County, two permits were issued in Warren and Kirkwood townships to Gulfport Energy Corporation. In Richland Township, a permit was issued to XTO Energy Inc.
Devon Energy Production Company was issued two permits in Guernsey County. One will be located in Center Township and the other in Knox Township. Enervest Operating LLC was also issued a permit in Wheeling Township in June.
Chesapeake Exploration was also issued a permit in Brush Creek Township in Jefferson County and one in Green Township in Mahoning County.
Update. According to the ODNR website, a total of 273 Utica shale well permits have been issued. A total of 78 wells have been drilled and 16 are waiting to be fracked. In addition, there are 14 wells reported in the fracking process or have crews on site getting ready to frack.
Hydraulic fracturing is a process commonly used in oil development. It is a technique that cracks open rock layers to free natural gas.
A total of 10 wells are reported by the ODNR to be producing in Ohio.
In Pennsylvania, there were 91 permits issued during the month of June, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. There were 76 issued for new wells and 15 were issued to allow drillers to dig even deeper.
In Lycoming County, there were 23 permits issued, and of those, more than 19 permits were issued in Green Township. Meanwhile, there were 14 issued in Susquehanna and 12 in Washington County.
What's this I hear about the Buell well being shut down soon because Chesapeake does not own it?
Your information on Carroll County, if not the others, is slightly underreported.
According to the same ODNR recent activity report, 13 new wells were drilled in Carroll County in the month of June, and two so far already in July. The total number of wells in Carroll County to date is 98, not 91.

Last week a reader asked about socially responsible investments. I recruited a friend to provide a brief overview of the subject. Now Money and Values has posted a terrific introduction that offers more information, as well as plenty of links for further exploration: Socially Responsible Investing, Part One and Socially Responsible Investing, Part Two.
The article defines three socially responsible investment strategies:
- Social screening — "Positive screens seek out especially good companies on a certain issue, while negative screens avoid certain companies."
- Shareholder activism — "SRI mutual funds holding stock in certain companies will often initiate a dialogue with corporate management if they have concerns about certain practices or policies (or the lack thereof)."
- Community investing — "Using your banking and investing dollars in ways that prioritize helping financially underserved communities get access to credit and capital."
The two entries answer questions like: How common is socially responsible investing? Does socially responsible investing mean giving up financial performance? What sorts of investment opportunities are available? (Money and Values discusses mutual funds based on specific agendas, including religious mutual funds, as well as non-mutual fund options.)
The article concludes with a series of useful links:
- The Social Investment Forum, including a list of socially responsible mutual funds.
- Social Funds, another site devoted to the topic.
- The Community Investing Center
- Business Ethics Magazine
This is a terrific introduction to socially responsible investing, and a quick read. Highly recommended.

|Jacques Ledauphin stereo six way active set-up...
I do remember quite well my first encounter with Jacques Ledauphin in February 2013. He is some kind of tutelar figure in the pantheon of French audiophilia. For those who do not know him, Jacques is a well known French audiophile who developed among other things horns, multi amp with analog and digital crossovers speakers and of course electronics. He also explained his personal building in La Revue de l'Audiophile. I could not believe that I would meet him in person and that I would listen to his incredible set-up using six active channels per speakers which has been reviewed Jean Hiraga with highest regards.
|WE 755A with small horn
|Jacques Ledauphin E55L SPUD amp
This new speaker project was also a good way to work on the new amps of the big (or should I say HUGE) set-up... Jacques has been using SPUD amps for over 25 years now. SPUD amps are designed to work with only one tube on the signal path. No drivers, no splitters... just one tube. As said before, first iterations were using Western Electric 437A tubes and designed to have the incredible output power of 0.8W. In fact these amps were used only on eight of the twelve channels of the set-up. We will come back on this topic with the second part of these visits.
|Inside the E55L SPUD amp. Notice that one of the capacitor
is not used anymore. In fact these amps were built using
the chassis from the previous WE 437A SPUD amp
- driven by a Lundhal 7902 (600 ohm / 10 ohm) transformer which increases the signal ratio by 1 : 4.
- feeds a Tamura F-5002 output transformer (amorphous core sadly not available anymore).
The heater filament power supply is two stages regulated, high tension power supply stabilized and fixed bias power supply (used on the cold spot/point of the secondary windings of the input transformer) is a two stages regulated split with a three Farad capacitor (!!!)...
Would this be enough to control the WE 755A ?
|E55L SPUD amp + WE 755A speaker
First record? French music of course with Barbara chante Barbara. A few notes and Barbara starts singing. Imaging is pinpoint, laser cut in fact : she is there in front of us a tad behind the speakers and it leads me to immediate goose bumps syndrome. I think that I actually forgot to breathe for a few seconds. This is definitely one of the best vocal rendition I have ever listened to. We then listened to a record of Areski with Brigitte Fontaine on the Saravah label and here again the magic happens : the level of details, the precision of the rendition is astonishing and still this incredible soundstage.
So what about these impressive 0.6W power amps ? Was it sufficient to drive the WE 755A to realistic levels ? Yes and no. In fact these speakers were not designed to be played at high levels but to suit the specification of low power tubes amps and in this particular case the E55L is particularly well suited for this application. Was it able to produce the lower octave of music ? Yes and no : bass extension is rolled of at around 60Hz due to the nature of the transducer and the enclosure used. The exponential horn embryo reinforce the lower mid and thus allow a good rendition of the upper bass registers.
After all : let us keep in mind that we are listening to an old 8" wide band speaker from the 50's. Nether the less this is quite a listening experience and it is not so much different from my 15A, 16A, 12A or 22A Western Electric horn experiences. In fact the 755A (being designed for the subway trains of New York and by extension for smaller rooms) do share some common points with is bigger counterparts. One of them is that these are all designed to reproduce a large bandwidth with no or very little electrical crossovers. In a way we could say they perform " raw" sound, signal freshly cooked out from the amp with no spices and thus the TFK E55L SPUD amp is truly complementary to these and allows us to hear, to apprehend the sound of these rare equipments. With these kind of equipment : I am always astonished by the ease with which the music flows, fills the room.
|Ikeda's realm..
Some would speak of shear musicality, I would state more the quest for the owner/designer/dreamer, Jacques, of some kind of ataraxia, of Zen gestures which put back in main focus the musical content more than the inherent technical aspects that underly such a complicate set-up as a a six way active speaker.
None of the less : there was still something (slightly) hidden behind the Western Electric 755A speakers... And I knew that one day I would listen to these...
See you in part 2 !

In the third and last part of this lecture, I will introduce the model system we have developed to study animal regeneration, the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea. I will review its anatomy, and the biological attributes that make these animals extraordinarily well suited to dissect the molecular and cellular basis of regeneration. I will also discuss recent work from my laboratory aimed at identifying molecules associated with regenerative capacities.
R.A. Flavell (Yale University, New Haven, CT) discusses the role of Transforming Growth Factor ß (TGFß) in disease. In the central nervous system of a murine model of AD this cytokine appears to prevent macrophages from attacking ß-amyloid. Flavell visualizes that selective blockade of this TGFß
activity could lead to the destruction of plaques in patients with AD.

Veteran guard Greg Buckner said Wednesday he would understand if the Timberwolves want to buy out his contract and that he wouldn't fight the issue.
But his agent said a buyout is unlikely and that the Wolves shouldn't expect Buckner to take less money than he's owed.
Make no mistake, Buckner was not requesting a trade or making a brash statement that he's unhappy in Minnesota. He wasn't complaining; he was merely responding to a question regarding an obvious issue.
The Wolves have 16 guaranteed contracts on the roster, one above the NBA regular-season maximum. They might have to buy out a player's contract to fit within the rules.
Veterans such as Buckner don't appear to fit into the team's youth movement and long-term rebuilding plans.
"That's always an option, I guess," Buckner said of a buyout. "Maybe they want to do that and go another way. I have no problem with that. Either or. I'm happy being here, or I'll be happy if they want to buy me out. I'm not going to fight the system.
"I'm here right now as a part of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and I want to win. If they don't want to do that, and they want to send me somewhere else and buy me out or whatever, that's their prerogative."
The Wolves had no comment. Buckner and his agent, Steve Kauffman, said the Wolves haven't approached them about a buyout.
"I find a buyout to be extremely unlikely because the team needs a Greg Buckner as one of their leaders," Kauffman said. "A buyout would be expensive.
Buckner's contract calls for a guaranteed $3.5 million this season and $3.76 million next season. Because of a trade-kicker clause, he also will get about $500,000 for the deal that sent him from Dallas to Minnesota on Sept. 28.
The Wolves can get out of the final two years on Buckner's contract with a $1 million payoff, the amount he's guaranteed for the 2009-10 season.
Buckner stressed that he's not asking for a buyout and that he would prefer to move forward with the Timberwolves. as a Wolf. But he understands the business as well.
After he was traded, Buckner said he initially thought a buyout was a possibility.
"Definitely, at first," he said. "But it was good that I got in quick and into training camp, and I didn't get to think about it. Now I feel like these are my guys, and I'm part of this team and part of the town. I'm one of the leaders on this team. I think guys listen to me. It's a good situation, I think, to bring a young team up and being a part of that is good."
The Wolves must trim their roster to meet the league rules before the regular season begins.
Briefly: Randy Foye (knee tendonitis), Ryan Gomes (sprained ankle) and Sebastian Telfair (sprained ankle) did not practice Wednesday. They are scheduled to be re-evaluated today before the team leaves for its next game, Friday at Indiana.

Hulk Hogan via Twitter:
feel bad for Brett he sends out the old, bitter, tired vibe,hopefully he will have a happy life from this point foward HH
i feel sorry for Hogan, trying so damned hard to convince himself that fans still give a damn about him.
I give a damn
Yet Bret didn't make a porn.
Me too Phil
LOL @JDStorm so true!
It's true though. Bret always has something to complain about.
Not that he hasn't earned the right to, but life is too short for that.
A lot of fans still give a damn about Hogan. He still gets a huge pop when he makes an appearance. You can bet that if he was ever a "surprise" participant in the Royal Rumble that the WWE fans would go nuts. Of course, not the smart ones of the IWC. They are too cool for that. And for the record, Boogeyman, being filmed while having sex without your knowledge isn't making a porn. What Chyna did was porn; what Hogan did wasn't.
I actually agree with Hulk on this one, Bretts comments about Hulk just come off bitter.
Denis, it was a sex tape. He released it just like Paris Hilton or anyone else has. "without his knowledge".
C'mon, grow up. You're being worked!
People call Bret "bitter" because he's truthful and doesn't spare people's feeling for the sake of it.
I'm the same way… you ask for it, and I give it to you. Hogan refused to put Hart over, and Bret doesn't mind taking jabs at him here or there to never let him forget his selfishness.
I'd do the same thing. Obviously it hurts Hogan, because he has to type tweets worse than a 6 year old could do to try and retaliate.
It's nt just hogan. He's always complaining like an old man. About one subject and the next.
Bret is my all time favorite, don't let your fandom cloud your judgement.
If my brother died and if I got shafted like brett did with the wwe title in my home town id be bitter too.
But Bret seemed to be at peace after everything that happened, then he goes right back to bad mouthing Shawn, complaining about the Screwjob etc. etc. etc.
It shouldn't be like that. I said its not as though he hasn't earned the right to be bitter, but life is too short to be holding on to that crap.
It's immature. He's got millions of dollars and millions if fans. Move on and enjoy life.

No other herb has served as many culinary and medicinal roles in
as many cultures as garlic (Allium sativum L). Indeed, over the past 20
years, there have been more than 2000 papers published on garlic
chemistry, pharmacology and clinical applications (Koch HP and Lawson
LD, Garlic: The Science and Therapeutic Application of Allium sativum
L. and Related Species, Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins, 1996).Garlic
is rich in antioxidant phytochemicals such as organosulphur compounds
and flavonoids, both capable of scavenging tissue-damaging free
radicals (Cancer J, 1990; 3: 20-1). Although the mechanisms of all
garlic components are not known, many of its heart-protective,
anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antiageing effects are thought to be
due to these antioxidant actions (Planta Med, 1994; 60: 417-20; Planta
Med, 1992; 58: 468-9; J Pharm Pharmacol, 1993; 49: 908-11; Neurochem
Int, 1996; 29: 135-43).Science has focused particularly on the
potential of garlic in treating atherosclerosis. Studies show that
garlic thins the blood and lowers 'bad' LDL cholesterol and
triglycerides (Atherosclerosis, 1999; 144: 237-49). Trials using
different forms of garlic providing a daily dose of around 10 mg of
alliin, or a total allicin potential of 4000 mcg, have found that total
cholesterol was reduc-ed by 10-12 per cent, and LDL and triglycer-ides
by around 15 per cent each. In addition, some studies found that 'good'
HDL cholesterol increased by 10 per cent (Ann Intern Med, 1993; 119:
599-605; Am J Med, 1993; 94: 632-5; Arzneim Forsch, 1990; 40: 1111-6;
Arzneim Forsch, 1992; 42: 1223-7; Br J Clin Pharmacol, 1989; 128:
535-44). But not all garlic studies are positive (J R Coll
Phys [Lond], 1996; 30: 329-34; Athero-sclerosis, 1995; 113: 219-25;
Arch Intern Med, 1998; 158: 1189-94). One controversial study using
steam-distilled garlic found no benefit at all (JAMA, 1998; 279:
1900-2). However, this trial confirms the importance of using the right
preparation - steam-distilled garlic has virtually no beneficial
sulphides and no allicin. A report by the US Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ; see
www.ahrq.gov/clinic/garlicsum for links to the full report) reviewed
all randomised, controlled trials of more than four weeks, and
concluded that garlic has a modest but statistically significant effect
in lowering LDL and triglyceride, but no overall effect on total or HDL
cholesterol. More possibilitiesCancer prevention is
another touted benefit of garlic, but the findings are mixed. However,
it's probably fair to say that if garlic has any effect at all, it is
not as a cure, but as a possible preventative for certain types of
cancer. The organosulphur components of aged garlic can block
carcinogens and prevent oesophagus, colon, lung, breast, prostate and
stomach cancers - at least in the lab (Carcinogenesis, 1993; 14:
1627-31; Nutr Cancer, 1997; 27: 186-91; Nutr Rev, 1996; 54: S82-6).Although
specific trials are lacking, the AHRQ noted that population studies
show that people who regularly eat lots of garlic have a lower risk of
developing certain cancers - laryngeal, gastric, colorectal and
endometrial - than those who eat little or no garlic. This has been
borne out by observational studies and meta-analyses (J Nutr, 2001;
131: 1032S-40S; Am J Clin Nutr, 2000; 72: 1047-52).In one
Chinese study of a population with a high incidence of stomach cancer,
those in the highest quarter of garlic consumption had 40 per cent less
cancer risk than those in the lowest quarter (J Natl Cancer Inst, 1989;
81: 162-4). A study in Iowa looked at the diets of over 40,000
women and found that those who consumed the most garlic had the lowest
risk of colon cancer (Am J Epidemiol, 1994; 139: 1-15). However, a
Dutch study of more than 120,000 men and women found no relationship
between garlic supplementation and breast, colon, rectal or lung cancer
prevention (Carcinogenesis, 1996; 17: 477-84), which seems to reinforce
the view that it is fresh garlic that provides the most effective
protection.Allicin Most of us have been taught to buy
standardised garlic supplements with a guaranteed allicin yield, or
allicin potential. But this doesn't necessarily mean that we're getting
what we think we are. The allicin yield quoted on many labels
generally refers to the potential of the alliin in the product to be
converted into allicin by the enzyme alliinase. This yield can only be
guaranteed at the point of manufacture as allicin degrades quickly. By
the time it reaches the consumer, it may be a very different product. Also,
too high a heat during processing and prolonged storage at high
temperatures can destroy alliin, resulting in low allicin potential.
Not surprisingly, research shows that most commercial products don't
contain allicin (Planta Med, 1991; 57: 363-70).One possible
reason why older garlic studies were mostly positive while newer ones
have shown less benefit was hinted at by a reanalysis of the garlic
products used in all studies carried out between 1989 and 1997.
According to the US researchers, the older lots were more resistant to
stomach acid and therefore released three times as much allicin than
the newer ones (Planta Med, 2001; 67: 13-8). So, could it be that in
the race to produce newer and better products, pharmaceutical science
has managed to take a giant step backward?At any rate, the
focus on allicin content of garlic supplements may be inappropriate
since allicin is just one of the dozens of the herb's active
components. Ajoene (formed by combining allicin and diallyl disulphide)
has proven antiplatelet and antibiotic activity. A number of
constituents - including 33 identified sulphur compounds, 17 amino
acids, germanium, calcium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium,
selenium, zinc, and vitamins A, B1 and C - have known healthful actions
in the body (Br J Clin Pharmacol, 1989; 28: 535-44; Phytother Res,
1988; 2: 196-7).Allicin may be only indirectly involved in
garlic's blood-thinning ability (Thromb Res, 1992; 65: 141-56). As
allicin doesn't readily enter the blood circulation, it may be that,
once ingested, its role consists of its being converted into other
bioavailable compounds that produce the anticlotting effects (Thromb
Res, 1992; 65: 141-56).In addition, many of garlic's
sulphur-containing compounds - vinyldithiins, ajoene and S-allyl
cysteine - and other constituents are quickly absorbed from the
digestive tract, then extensively and rapidly metabolised. With regular
ingestion, these can be detected in the blood and tissues. Allicin, on
the other hand, cannot be detected in the blood or urine after
ingestion of either raw garlic or pure allicin (Planta Med, 1992; 58:
345-50). For this reason, many scientists argue that it cannot be the
primary active ingredient in garlic. Experts now believe there
is no single constituent of garlic that is its main active ingredient.
Rather, the range of constituents in garlic act in synergy to produce a
variety of healthful benefits. It may therefore make more sense to seek
out minimally processed supplements that include as many of the
health-giving constituents of garlic as possible (see box above).Some final thoughtsThe
effectiveness of garlic preparations can be altered in other ways. Like
all herbs, the taste and smell of garlic is a kind of in-your-mouth
quality control. Without them, it's likely to be an inferior product.
Odourless garlic preparations are usually cooked; this inactivates
alliinase, the enzyme that breaks down alliin to help make allicin. Or
an odour-masking compound such as chlorophyll is added to the
preparation, although such additions are rarely effective. Less
drastic is odour-controlled garlic, which is usually coated with a
glaze or uses a sturdy capsule to make sure the garlic is released only
in the gut, where it is unlikely to produce 'garlic breath' or reflux. On
the plus side, 200 mg daily - around 70 cloves - has no known
side-effects. To be toxic to the stomach and liver, you'd have to eat
300-500 mashed cloves in one sitting. Many people 'overdose' on fresh
garlic in the belief that it's good for them, but the most likely
effect of eating four or more cloves in one go is nausea and vomiting. Because
of its anticlotting properties, garlic supplements should not be taken
with drugs such as heparin, warfarin and coumarin derivatives, and not
before surgery, as this could lead to uncontrollable bleeding. These
small considerations aside, garlic used properly and for the right
indications is still one of our most valuable herbs.The productsOf
our nine randomly selected products, only about half provided good
label information. Also, allicin content was listed in different ways
so that those who don't know that 'mcg' and 'ug' mean the same thing
might rightly feel confused. MaxGar Garlic Distributor: SolgarPrice: £5.79 (30 capsules)Rating: ****Solgar
has used a maceration process for a product that is 'rich in allicin'
and also contains the active byproducts of allicin conversion, such as
ajoenes, vinyldithiins and polysulphides. Indeed, recent research
suggests that maceration is the only process that leaves significant
quantities of ajoenes and vinyldithiins. The softgel capsule
releases the macerate only in the gut, ensuring effective odour
control. The label offers a good amount of useful information. However,
at one capsule a day, this will cost you 19 p, although the product's
apparent quality may tip the balance for most consumers.Maximum Garlic 6500Distributor: Holland & Barrett Price: £6.99 (60 tablets)Rating: ***Each
of these high-potency tablets contains 650 mg of standardised garlic
powder with a guaranteed allicin yield of 6500 mcg. The label also
lists the total thiosulphinate yield (6500 mcg/ug), alliin yield
(14,500 mcg/ug) and gamma-glutamylcysteine (5200 mcg/ug), which seems
impressive. But the product also contains binders, fillers and
colouring (titanium dioxide), and uses a shellac glaze (an insect
byproduct, and so unsuitable for vegans or strict vegetarians). It is
odour-controlled by the inclusion of anise oil, which may be just as
hard on sensitive stomachs as garlic oil. Although the highest-potency product we looked at, it lies in the middle of the price range, with each capsule costing 12 p. One-a-Day Garlic PlusDistributor: BioCare Price: £6.25 (30 capsules)Rating: ***This
offering contains 400 mg of garlic concentrate (plus 200 mg of biotin)
in a vegetarian capsule. Other than that, the label provides no
information on how the product was produced or what the potential
allicin yield is. It would be reasonable for a consumer to be
suspicious of any product with such vague labelling. For the record,
these capsules contain a powdered concentrate. At one capsule daily, they were the most expensive at 21 p per day.Whole Garlic BulbDistributor: FSC Price: £4.49 (60 capsules)Rating: ***Each
of these capsules contains 300 mg of freeze-dried garlic (equal to 1070
mg fresh). FSC claims that freeze-drying the whole clove ensures that
all the active ingredients of the fresh herb are maintained. In
reality, it's not much different from any other drying process, though
these products may contain slightly more S-allyl cysteine. This
product is made from 100 per cent Chinese garlic - although the
relevance of this is not clear - and doesn't use a deodorising process
because, says the manufacturer, it reduces the potency of the active
constituents (a claim borne out by research). Odour may not be a
problem, however, since these capsules are likely to dissolve in the
gut. The label contains plenty of information, some of it useful. The recommended one or two tablets daily would cost you just 7 p each. Kwai Once-a-DayDistributor: Lichtwer PharmaPrice: £3.99 (30 tablets)Rating: **The
manufacturer tells us that Kwai contains all the constituents of fresh,
organically grown Chinese garlic. Each tablet is coated 60 times for
odour control. The active ingredients are 300 mg of dried standardised
garlic extract, and each tablet has a guaranteed allicin yield of 1800
mcg. Kwai has been used in many studies of the effectiveness
of garlic, but not always with the consistently good results, as
Lichtwer would have us believe. This product uses a huge number of
excipients, including sugar, lactose, glucose syrup, titanium dioxide
and polysorbate 20, and strict vegetarians and vegans should note that
this product also uses a shellac glaze. Taking the suggested one tablet a day would set you back 13 p - fairly pricey for what you're actually getting.GarlicDistributor: Wassen Price: £4.95 (60 tablets)Rating: **The
box boasts that Wassen garlic can help maintain a healthy heart. Tipped
as highly odour-controlled and high in potency, these tablets contain
the equivalent of 960 mg of fresh garlic (or 1600 mcg of allicin). They
are heavily coated with a glaze similar to Kwai's and contain just as
many excipients, including sucrose, iron oxides, acacia powder and
titanium dioxide. Consumers may be justifiably suspicious of so many
extras. One tablet a day would cost you 8 p a day.Potent GarlicDistributor: Natural Brand Price: £4.29 (90 capsules)Rating: **Each
gelatine capsule contains 3 mg of garlic oil - equivalent, says the
manufacturer, to 15 mg of fresh garlic. Otherwise, the label provides
little else upon which to make a decision. The product has the strong
garlicky smell characteristic of garlic oil, which some may find
unpleasant. The recommended intake is one capsule daily,
costing 5 p - reasonable until you consider that, as a garlic oil
supplement, it's likely to contain only minute quantities of
oil-soluble diallyl sulphide and diallyl disulphide, and no allicin. Concentrated Garlic One a DayDistributor: Boots Price: £4.90 (30 tablets)Rating: *Boots'
special offer of three-for-the-price-of-two makes this seem like good
value - until you read the label. These low-dose tablets contain 300 mg
of garlic powder and have a guaranteed allicin yield of 1800 mcg. The
label also boasts that these tablets can help maintain healthy
cholesterol levels and a healthy heart - although, at one a day, this
dose is far below the 4000 mcg found to be effective in scientific
studies. This also has loads of excipients, including the synthetic
binder polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Even at the special price offer, these tablets cost 11 p a day, more than some of the better mid-range products we reviewed.Odourless GarlicDistributor: Healthcrafts Price: £2.59 (30 capsules)Rating: *The
beneficial effects of garlic consumption - a healthy heart, good
circulation and a healthy digestive system - are listed on the box, but
each capsule contains only 2 mg of odourless garlic, equivalent to 200
mg of fresh garlic. It uses no preservatives, artificial colours or
flavours, though the gelatine capsule is unsuitable for vegetarians. Not
surprisingly, there's no mention of allicin yield - probably because
odourless garlic is devoid of the allinase necessary to make allicin.
In addition, this product uses odourless garlic powder in sunflowerseed
oil. For 9 p a capsule, this gives you a low dose of something not very
effective.garlic supplements, allicin, alliinase, antioxidants,

Ah Hee Diggings: Chinese Walls Mining SiteGranite, Oregon
Period of significance: 1865 - 1890s
Located in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest are 60 acres of hand-stacked rock tailings (called Chinese Walls) 1 mile north of Granite and about 50 miles from Baker City. These walls were typical of Chinese placer miners, who worked the northeastern Oregon area between 1865-1890s. There are no interpretative signs yet. The tailings are best viewed from the road since crossing the creek is difficult.

You've seen him on television making the Statue of Liberty disappear, navigating the rapids of Niagara Falls and flying over the Grand Canyon, now see master magician David Copperfield up close and personal for his Las Vegas Residency at the MGM Grand!
Watch as he re-creates his famous illusion of walking through the Great Wall of China using a large metal sheet in which he will effortlessly pass. Audience participation is also a big part of the show, in one act he asks a volunteer to examine a piece of tissue paper before rolling it into a ball and making it levitate and dance along his arm with the tap of a finger! Spectators across the globe are left astonished after his performances, one in particular raved, "This show is definitely the one to see in Las Vegas. It absolutely blows your mind!! How does he do it!!?? It's better than any magic/illusion show I've ever seen - his show is more than an illusion show...there's humour, storytelling and so much more!"
Come see why the US Library of Congress named David Copperfield a living legend! The illusionist has also been pronounced the most commercially successful magician in history by Forbes magazine and has earned 11 Guinness World Records, 21 Emmy Awards for his television specials, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and knighthood by the French government! Additionally, Copperfield has sold 40 million tickets to his various shows and grossed over $4 billion, which is more than any other solo entertainer in history.
After 30 years of performing, the 58 year old is still reinventing himself and has some major plans for future illusions. He has confirmed that he wants to put a woman's face on Mt. Rushmore, straighten the Leaning Tower of Pisa, make an island disappear, and even vanish the moon! Considering the entertainment tycoon manages a chain of eleven islands in the Bahamas, Musha Cay and the Islands of Copperfield Bay, we know his island feat will be one not to be forgotten!

Miscellaneous Information:
When David Copperfield is not chilling with Rick Ross or adding rare Martin Luther King audio tapes, he is performing at the Hollywood Theatre at the MGM Grand. An Intimate Evening of Grand Illusion is the best of the many illusionist shows on the Strip. David Copperfield tickets for this incredible event have drawn reviews of Grade A from the local Las Vegas Review Journal and such high praise from Oprah Winfrey as to deem him the greatest illusionist of the time and have kept him and his parade of supermodel caliber assistants in demand in the 21st century.
David Copperfield Las Vegas Magic does not rely on gothic tones, dark humor, or any other distraction to amaze his audience. He figures the less the better in a show every audience member is trying to dissect. This is a challenge when there are thousands watching from seats directly in front of the stage. When the stage is a 360 degree set, it raises the bar. This is a truly inspirational illusionist exhibition and the reason why the man whose feats actually tempts death and has led to a long list of injuries for him and his assistants is always ahead of those who would gladly replace him atop the field of illusion and those who still call the craft magic.
An intimate of Grand Illusion is much more than just a chance to see another David Copperfield show, but a chance to see a show that celebrates his incredible career and accomplishments. Like all illusionists, Copperfield is going to search out willing participants from the audience, just so the crowd knows that when they have their mind blown it is accomplished by an incredible performer who can trick someone a mere foot away.
David Copperfield performs in spurts (how else would he have found time to hang out with a one of the most popular rappers in the game?), but for those weeks he is performing, the show is a twice daily event at 7 and 9:30 pm, with an additional 4 pm show on Saturday. David Copperfield tickets for the Vegas event are appropriate for all ages, so any magic and illusion enthusiast may enjoy the demonstration of mind over reality (or at least perception).
