If you have had weight loss surgery, lost the weight and now are left with sagging skin, there is an answer. Bariatric reconstructive surgery can help your body blend in with its new size.
There are several small procedures that can be done but the most common concentrates on the abdomen. Under general anesthesia, your doctor will create an incision, remove the excess skin, and if needed reposition the navel.
This kind of cosmetic surgery requires longer recovery time and increased risks, so speak with your cosmetic surgeon to make sure you are a candidate.

Citizens Petition to the Rio+20 Secretariat and the World Leaders
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Citizens Petition to the Rio+20 Secretariat and the World Leaders
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionI stand with the world?s young people in calling for a transformative Earth Summit 2012 Dear United Nations, I am writing in support of three billion young people who are worried about their -- and their Planet's -- future. The current degradation and exploitation of our Earth?s resources is simply unsustainable, and world leaders must respond in full measure when they meet next June in Rio de Janeiro. First, we need all world leaders to recognize the urgency of the current situation. They need to understand and inform their own people about the dangers of not acting to move us toward a green economy and a more sustainable future. Youth are worried about the inequity and corruption that contribute to the overtaxing and mismanagement of critical natural resources and ecosystems and undermine the basis for ensuring decent livelihoods for the next generation. The United Nations should urge presidents and prime ministers from every nation to commit as early as possible to come to Rio and to initiate their preparations for the Earth Summit. Second, world leaders must deliver more in Rio than another agenda with lofty goals for a distant future. Over the last half-year, young people meeting around the world have called out the weak implementation of scores of existing treaties and action plans adopted at previous summits. These young people are demanding that the next Earth Summit instead generate specific commitments to real actions from governments at all levels, corporations, communities and civil society groups. I agree, and the United Nations should ensure that we are holding everyone accountable for their promises. Third, governments and corporations need to commit to major new investments in education, employment and empowerment of young people in the transition to a green economy. We cannot wait another generation for sustainability; the world's young people need their leaders to act now. Sincerely, Total signatures: 6,656 + 235 individualized submissions (see Submission Document attached to the right side)

text: I am using Zimbra Desktop 2.0 on Mac OSX. I had an email account that is no longer active and before I deactivated that account, I synced it with Zimbra Desktop. It was my own domain email account and it was with Yahoo. I now have the domain with another host and have that account synced, but also had my old Yahoo account email in Zimbra with all my old emails. I must have mistakenly deleted the account off of Zimbra Desktop without thinking that it was going to take all the emails with it. I am hoping there is a way I can get this back. Is there a way to recover it? Maybe it is stored somewhere on the desktop like Outlook does in a PST files. I am keeping my fingers crossed that there is a way to recover this. If not, I am going to cry!! Please let me know if there is a way to get this account and all the old messages back. Thanks so much in advance.

Earlier this summer, a Cheerio's commercial showing an interracial couple/family sparked negative backlash. A disturbing amount of people voiced that they were uncomfortable about the commercial and were under the impression that it could be a bad influence on children.
Clearly, we find the commercial adorable. Much of the public, however, didn't seem to agree with us. The commercial got so much hate and negative reactions that Cheerio's was forced to disable the comments portion for the youtube video.
So does this commercial really have a negative influence on children? The Fine Bros wanted to find out. They recently released a new episode of Kids React showing kids watching the Cheerios commercial followed by a discussion of what the children felt about it. What did the episode prove? Children may very well have a better sense of right and wrong than adults. Check out the adorable reactions below:
It is heartwarming to have children understand that there is absolutely nothing wrong with bi-racial couples. In fact, the kids point out that its very unfair and cruel to dislike a family simply because of the color of their skin.
As one child points out, we claim that we are a country of equality, but that isn't always the case. In fact, this issue extends beyond the black and white community which was featured in the Cheerios commercial.
In this day and age, many Asians find themselves in interracial relationships, but their love is met with negative reactions. Asian women are called sell-outs for choosing a man of another race, Asian men are high-fived for finding a non-Asian girlfriend, Asian parents scold their children for not choosing someone of the same cultural background.
If children are mature enough to understand that love is love despite the color of one's skin, why is the public having such a hard time? Why does our Asian community struggle to accept the possibility of legitimate feelings for someone outside of the Asian circle?
Let us know what you think and share some of your own experiences below.

Financial Aid
College Costs and Payments
The college bill for the 2015-16 year is approximately $66,325. This is the amount due without financial aid. If you have been awarded financial aid, reduce your college bill by the amount of your aid. For example, if you have a grant of $4,000 and a student loan of $2,500, reduce the bill by $6,500; $66,325 less $6,500 = $59,825 which is the amount you owe. NOTE: Do not reduce your bill by any work-study award you may have received.
PLEASE NOTE: Bills are emailed out of the Office of Student Accounts after August 1st. You may contact them at 909.621.8232 for more information on your account or visit their website. By clicking on this link, you will be leaving the Financial Aid site.
You can also get payment information at: Payment Plan Descriptions. By clicking on this link, you will be leaving the Financial Aid site.

Meider, who lives on his 300-acre ranch off Farm-to-Market Road 799 east of Interstate 37, said his friends say he "is good at solving problems, finding errors, and that's why they call me 'Meiderstein.'"
"He's a deep thinker," said his wife of 57 years, Beverly.
"She was 6, and I was 9 years old when we were married," he said, smiling.
An inscription on a rock in front of their stone house is this: "I loved you once, I love you still, I always have, I always will."
Bill and Beverly have huge boulders and lots of rock they've imported to their ranch.
Bill said he contemplates what those rocks have seen and gone through.
At 76 years old, Bill won't talk about it, but something happened to him in the past that changed him. He said that's really when "Meiderstein" was created.
The only person who he has shared this mysterious and serious happening with was Beverly, 73.
Together, they keep the secret.
Bill started out as a surveyor, but his talents expanded into becoming a successful land developer.
"Some tell me I was born with a gift," he said. "I can wind up with every tract of land having strong public appeal. I never made a failure."
His most recent project was Deer Run on Farm-to-Market Road 889.
"I don't know how many I've done – each a couple of 100 acres to 1,800 acres," he said.
Bill said he gets aerial shots of the land to figure out its best use. With the information, his brain goes to work.
"He wakes up and starts talking to me, and I don't know what he's talking about," Beverly said.
"The brain doesn't need to sleep. If it hits on a solution, the problem is thoroughly solved," Bill said.
From his successes, Bill has developed two companies: Rediem (Meider spelled backwards) Investments, and Meiderstein Interests, both based from their home office.
He said he does have a backup system for success.
"Dwayne McWilliams is my attorney friend. He knows me better than I know me," Bill said.
The attorney is with the firm Schneider & McWilliams in George West.
"I run everything through him for his approval," Bill said. "Common sense is instinct; enough of it is genius."
With Bill's keen sense for finding solutions, he also found within himself many words of wisdom for happiness: "Always maintain the power of self control."
Beverly said Bill has an enormous amount of patience for everything – people, places and things.
"Love is the greatest power of all. Patience is the next most powerful," he said.
Retirement: "No, I'm not going to do that," he said. "Always remember that age is nothing but a number."
Bill and Beverly raised one daughter who helps with the business. They have three granddaughters: the three K's – Kali, Kelsi and Kayla.
He considers himself and Beverly as one in spirit.
"I put out the plats. He does the field work. He started out doing everything," Beverly said.
"He teaches by example rather than telling," she added. He will tell one person, however.
"What I tell the preacher is that he is in the position to tell someone. I'm always calm and a private person," Bill said.
"The way I like being is like the bobcat. You'll never see the bobcat if he doesn't want to be seen. He sees everything from the brush," Bill said.
Speaking of the brush, visitors to Bill's ranch will meet Kermit. He's the big buffalo ranging on the land.
"We had him since he was little," Bill said.
Also, evidence exists that buffaloes roamed the land where Bill lives.
"They were here wild. That's the way I understand it," he said.
Bill had started out with 15 buffaloes, but he culled the herd and now Kermit is joined by four "teenagers."
Then there are the four longhorn steers and a female. They have names too, like Texas Turtle, who is "always last for everything," Bill said.
And at the gate of Bill's ranch, visitors will be greeted by George. George is the 2,000-pound concrete gorilla there who seems to be looking directly into your eyes.
Johnny Guerra made the stone and rock foundation for George. Guerra is the stone worker making the entrance for the George West Cemetery, and he did all the stone work on Bill and Beverly's home.
"They painted his eyes to fit the real ones," Bill said.
"I admire gorillas and elephants because they are very strong and intelligent," Bill added. And numerous statues of elephants can be found through Bill and Beverly's house.
Bill's mother collected elephants.
"When his mother passed away, I thought it was the end of the elephants. No, they doubled," Beverly said.
In addition to elephants, a wall in the house is filled with Texas company signs, including the five-pointed Texas Star emblem designed in the 1900s by Bill's grandfather, Charles Meider.
That star became the iconic emblem for Texaco.
No doubt, Bill and Beverly love their family, so they take great interested in the cemetery where their parents were laid to rest.
Bill commented that his mother would say the new George West cemetery entrance – also constructed by Guerra and a project of Unify to Beautify – is really nice.
"My parents are in there, and Beverly's parents are in there, too. I want to make sure it's finished and landscaped," he said.
"There are only two ways to go – love or hate – there is no in between," he said.
"I don't look at anybody different than anybody else. They're all equal in my eyes. I don't hurt anybody," Bill said.
And from that respect and compassion for others come Bill's most powerful, sage and spiritual advice:
"Unbelievable power can come from the most powerful one."

Great Lakes Projects
Playing a lead role in your area through our clean water projects.
Egg Lake Dam Removal & First River Restoration Project
American Rivers is partnering with U.S. Forest Service with funding support from the state of Minnesota through the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council's Conservation Partners Legacy Grant program to remove this inoperable dam, reconnect stream habitats and reestablish wetlands at the project site. This project will result in unobstructed flows in at least 2 miles of headwater habitat and will include road decommissioning to remove unneeded access roads.
2012 Dams Removed
Communities in 19 states, working in partnership with non-profit organizations and state and federal agencies, removed 65 dams in 2012, American Rivers announced today. Outdated or unsafe dams came out of rivers across the nation, restoring 400 miles of streams for the benefit of fish, wildlife and people across the country.
Westlawn Redevelopment
American Rivers was recently recognized for their work with the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee. Over the past year we helped the Housing Authority secure $225,000 from the Fund for Lake Michigan of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation for bioswales in a reconstruction project of Wisconsin's largest public housing cluster on Milwaukee's northwest side.
Transforming Urban Gardens
American Rivers and the Garden District Neighborhood Association recently received a grant through Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District's Green Infrastructure Partnership Program. The funding is helping transform an area on Milwaukee's Southside into a sustainable showcase for urban community gardens across the country.
Green Infrastructure to Alleviate Flooding
American Rivers completed retrofitting over 12 acres of impervious surface in the Wilson Park Creek Subwatershed.
Local Stormwater Codes and Ordinances
American Rivers is working at the local level to review current codes and ordinances to provide sound recommendations to Planning Commissions and legislative bodies to reduce hard surfaces, create incentives to implement low impact development techniques such as rain gardens, bioretention, and green roofs, and protect buffers. These local changes will reduce polluted stormwater runoff and flooding and increase greenspace.
2010 Dam Removals
Our list of 60 dams that were removed in 2010, benefitting hundreds of miles of rivers nationwide.
Rain Garden and Rain Barrel Initiatives
American Rivers works on the local, state and federal levels to promote a range of green infrastructure solutions such as rain gardens, green roofs, and rain barrels. These approaches work in concert with nature to collect and filter runoff, reduce flooding, and minimize pollution in our rivers and streams while helping to save money and energy too.

Mallory Alexander acquires Tradesource
November 10, 2010
Third-party logistics (3PL) services provider Mallory Alexander International Logistics announced this week that it has acquired Tradesource Inc., an international freight forwarder based in Charleston, S.C., from Atlantic Services Group Inc.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Mallory Alexander officials said that Tradesource's Charleston office is now the new Mallory Alexander International Logistics Charleston location.
A Mallory Alexander spokesperson said that the Charleston office's proximity to the Port of Charleston was part of what spurred this acquisition.
"The Port of Charleston is growing as many companies are turning to this port as the access point for their global connectivity," said the spokesperson. "Mallory Alexander wanted to offer our customers the support of an office in the Charleston area and the opportunity for our customers to grow with the port as well. A Charleston office has been in the works for a while, we just found the right mix with the Tradesource ownership and operations that allowed the acquisition to occur smoothly for both Mallory Alexander's and Tradesource's customers."
The new Mallory Alexander International Logistics Charleston location specializes in export ocean forwarding and customs house brokerage, but can also offer a full service logistics portfolio including all import / export services, air services, domestic transportation, special project transportation and consulting, according to the spokesperson.
While Mallory would offer up a specific number on how many customers Tradesource brings into the fold, the spokesperson said that the new addition has a "tenured partnership with many customers throughout the South Atlantic area and the United States."
In terms of shipper benefits that this deal provides, Mallory Alexander said that the new Mallory Alexander International Logistics Charleston team not only offers the expertise of its forwarding team but also the support of one of the largest growing ports in the U.S.
"With the port's specialty in agricultural products, as well as trade routes for Northern Europe, India, and Asia, many of our customers have found the Charleston office a perfect fit for their needs," said the spokesperson.
Regarding personnel related to this deal, the Mallory Alexander spokesperson said that all former Tradesource employees will be retained as part of the Mallory Alexander International Logistics Charleston team. And the company is optimistic about adding staff in this location as the customer base expands.

6 questions to ask before refinancing
With ultralow mortgage rates now starting to creep up, some homeowners might be thinking that it's finally time to refinance.
Despite six weeks of steady increases, fixed rates eased this week and are still below 4 percent. That means borrowers who have higher mortgage rates may still be able to take advantage of savings.
Refinancing originations nationwide totaled $1.5 trillion last year but are expected to fall this year to $1.1 trillion due to rising mortgage rates, said a projection from mortgage giant Freddie Mac this week.
Figuring out whether to refinance a loan can sometimes be difficult. Several factors should be considered, from length of the existing mortgage to the borrower's financial goals.
"Make sure you're not refinancing just because your neighbor is refinancing," said Todd Pianin, president and founder of Samuel Scott Financial Group, a boutique mortgage company in San Diego.
How do you know if refinancing is the right choice? Here are six questions to ask yourself:
1: Where am I with my existing loan?
Homeowners who refinance can get a new mortgage with longer, shorter or the same terms. Those who have a 30-year fixed mortgage can refinance into a 15-year fixed loan, or vice versa.
Extending the term could result in a lower monthly payment but may result in paying more over time because the payments are stretched out, said Gabe del Rio, chief business officer of Community HousingWorks. The San Diego nonprofit group provides housing counseling.
Shortening the term could result in higher payments each month but it would shave off interest over time.
Also, consumers should figure out how long they've been paying their existing mortgage to see how much principal and interest has already been paid, said Pianin, the mortgage broker. A borrower who's in Year 20 of a 30-year fixed loan generally shouldn't refinance because most of the payments are going toward principal.
Knowing which term to choose also requires an honest assessment of where the borrower is in life. A retiree's plan may be different from a newlywed's.
2: What are all the costs involved?
Mortgage companies can charge closing costs and fees, including title and escrow insurance and an appraisal of your home. Get a tally of those costs upfront.
Also, there's a chance the appraisal may not come in at a number that will qualify the homeowner for a refinance, warned del Rio. If that happens, applicants may be on the hook for the appraisal cost, which can range from $300 to $800 depending on the home.
3: Will the savings be worth it?
It may be if you're getting an interest-rate reduction of at least 2 percentage points, said Faith Espejo, director of programs and operations of Housing Opportunities Collaborative, a San Diego nonprofit group that provides housing counseling.
For example, a borrower with an interest rate of 6 percent should aim for a refinance at 4 percent. A reduction of 1 percent to 1½ percent may be worth it, Espejo said, if there are no closing costs involved. If closing costs are involved, see how long it would take to break even.
Take the total closing cost of refinancing and divide it by the monthly savings to get the number of months it takes to recoup those upfront costs. Pianin's rule of thumb: Don't bother refinancing if the result is 18 months or more.
An example

Hey there Roman,
Good to see a fellow writer in these parts. I suppose I'm not all that unique... hahaha. We both know how badly writers want their readers to visualize their worlds - and a good map is a quick way to kick-start the imagination. I look forward to seeing your maps. Maybe I might even attempt a few myself!

Performance Valve Job - Flow JobWritten by on October 1, 2010 Contributors: Herbert Mudsam Get Cheap, Easy Power For Any Engine From A Performance Valve Job.
Porting gets all the attention when it comes to preparing cylinder heads to rocket more air fuel into the chamber. Granted, a well planned and executed port job can turn stifling heads into free-flowing ones that allow an engine to be a more efficient air pump, but there's one small, but oh-so important detail that never gets the credit it should: the valve job.
No matter how good or bad a cylinder head's runners flow, the biggest impediment is always the valve. All that air rushing in from the intake has to slip through a tiny curtain of space that's equivalent to the area between the bottom of the valve at peak lift and the valve seat. That's why camshaft lift and duration are the two factors that can most alter an engine's performance and operating range; the larger the curtain and the longer it stays open, the more air and fuel can flow into the combustion chamber.
But there's more to it than that. Air hates to change direction, especially fast-moving air, and forcing it to do so will decrease airflow. To help ease the transition, valves and valve seats have angles cut into them to make the air curve. This is especially important on what's known as the "short side" of the valve, which is the side of the valve seat that rolls from the floor of the port. Since air abhors a curve, it wants to take the straighter path toward the far side of the valve. Consequently, that side of the valve is generally jam-packed with all the air it can handle and then some. That's where a good valve job can show the largest gains-by convincing more air to take the side less traveled and mitigating the bottleneck.
Troy Bowen at Ford Performance Solutions (FPS) in Anaheim, California, says a proper performance valve job is critical-even more so than porting in some ways-and he volunteered to show us how a basic performance valve job is performed on FPS's own Avenger aluminum cylinder heads. We may be starting with a high-performance head, but the concepts will work for any other aftermarket or OEM head as well.
There's one other massive benefit to a performance valve job. Porting is time intensive and therefore expensive, but a good performance valve job can get you nearly 50 percent of the way there for a fraction of the cost of a full porting job. Whereas fully porting a set of heads can run from $500-$1,000 or more, a performance valve job is a bargain at less than half the price. FPS charges $179 for their own heads, $225 for most inline valve heads, and $260 for canted-valve heads.
How Many Angles?
The rationale out there is that if angles work to smooth out the flow, then cutting more should be even better. It sounds good in theory, but in reality there is a point of diminishing returns-especially on mild performance engines. Troy Bowen prefers four cuts on the seat of varying degrees, depending on the head for most combinations. As for more angles affecting longevity, Bowen says it's a myth. As long as the valve seat is the appropriate width of around .045-.060, longevity shouldn't be an issue.
Angles vs. Radius
Why does the exhaust get a radius rather than angle cuts on the seat? Troy Bowen says it's due to the sheer speed and pressure of the exiting exhaust gas. "We use a flow bench to measure the air going into and out of the head at 28 inches of water with the velocity at approximately 100 mph. These machines are trying to simulate a running engine, but this is not the environment that a head really functions in. After the explosion in the combustion chamber, extreme pressure is created and when the exhaust valve opens, the air is pushed out at speeds well above what the bench can create, making it impossible to simulate on a flow bench. There are guys working on computer models to find out how to optimize the exhaust." Basically, angles don't really help in this case since the gas is forcefully flowing and a well-formed radius is employed to simply funnel gas out of the chamber.

Our valve job victim is one of FPS's Avenger 190 heads for small-block Chevy. If working with used heads, it's a good idea to have them magnafluxed to check for cracks, and the valves, seats, and guides inspected and replaced if excessively worn. It's especially critical to address the valve seats if they've been cut previously, as a second cutting could result in sunken valves, which would nullify the valve job gains.In as-cast form when they arrive at FPS, the heads already have a basic valve job. They work well in this form, and occasionally racers buy them like this to perform their own top-secret valve jobs, but typically all heads receive a performance valve job before leaving FPS.The results of the stock valve job were respectable with a peak of 244 cfm at .600-inch lift on the intake, and 188 cfm at .700-inch lift on the exhaust.To establish a baseline, the Avengers were strapped to FPS's in-house SuperFlow flow bench with 2.02 and 1.60 REV valves, and flowed at 28 inches of water.Beyond the expensive machinery involved, here's why experience is a must; this Goodson chart shows their line of angle cutting blades. Do you know which ones you need?We've seen plenty of valve jobs cut by hand with grinding stones on a drill, but accuracy can be questionable for all but the most experienced hands. For precision, all heads are strapped to FPS's trusty Sunnen. As for accuracy of the machine, FPS keeps their equipment well maintained to ensure tolerances are tight.To begin, Troy Bowen uses this blade to sweep out the chamber a bit and unshroud the valves to increase airflow. This is especially necessary when using larger valves, but there is a fine point between unshrouding for performance gains and taking too much out and going backward.Here's the blade of choice for the small-block Chevy Avenger. It's hard to see even in person, but trust us, there are four angles on the blade-30, 45, 60, and 75 degrees in this case.
Bowen follows up with a bowl cutter to ensure the transition into the first angle is smooth. Care must be taken here though, Bowen warns. Opening up the bowl too much can cause low-lift flow to suffer.Rather than progressive angles, the exhaust gets a much simpler profile with a 45-degree valve seat followed by a radius to allow the pressurized exhaust gas to exit quickly.In finished form, it's difficult to see the minute angles, but the small amount of material removed will make all the difference for airflow.If you look closely you can spot the back-cut on the foremost intake valve. Thirty degrees is good for most street engines since it improves low-lift flow, but some racers opt for slightly different angles since the back-cut can affect the flow at each level of valve lift.Undercutting involves reducing the diameter of the valve stem in an attempt to lessen the intrusion the air has to flow around. Bowen says it's more hype than help in most cases, and he typically doesn't undercut the valves unless asked by the customer.Back on the flow bench, peak intake flow rose to 253 cfm at .600-inch lift and 203 cfm at .700-inch lift on the exhaust. There are a lot of variables to consider, including differences in engine combinations and cylinder head design, but Bowen says he's seen similar flow increases net an easy 20-30 hp on relatively mild naturally aspirated small-blocks.

We cover it all, from the pump-track races and Whip-Off Worlds to a surprise victory at the Joyride slopestyle competition. —Words and photos by Colin Meagher
The Joyride slopestyle contest is the main attraction at Crankworx. Held Saturday evening, it attracted more than 25,000 fans who descended on Whistler's base village to watch riders spin, flip and whip on a course that featured step-down jumps, drops, wall rides, hip jumps and even a 60-foot gap. Here, Jack Fogelquist tailwhips over one of the first jumps.
This year, high winds added to the challenge, and knocked several competitors off their line—and out of the competition. Despite the risks, riders return each year to the course—aptly named the Boneyard. The $25,000 prize purse helps, but so does the exposure. Winning Joyride propels a rider to the top of the sport, and usually leads to some lucrative sponsorship deals.

"Score: 20 out of a possible 20" -Scuba Lab
"Atomic Aquatic's B2 breathes effortlessly on the simulator, regardless of RMV or depth. But this isn't just a laboratory reg. The B2 earned the highest total score for in-water performance of any reg in any price class. It breathes easily in all positions and is the only reg to earn an excellent score for dryness. "The Best New Regulators""

See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 1 reviews.Rating: great reg.
Hi, I am going to be diving in the cold waters of NE and was wandering if the b2 is going to be a good choice for me? I am also going to do lots of wrecks diving with nixtox. Is this regulator better for me or you suggest a better one?
Why would / should I choose the B2 over the Z3? What am I getting in the B2 for the extra ~$200?
When I order the Atomic B2, how do I make sure I get the optional sealed first stage?
Atomic Aquatics B2 Regulator
Why Brass & Titanium?
Even though the use of multi-layer chrome plated Brass for the body of the first stage is a more conventional material choice... the performance of the B2 is truly superior to any other rival. Atomic designed our signature breathing performance into the B2 to give a diver the perfect combination of comfort, style and value. The main design difference? The total weight of the B2 is only 9 ounces more than the T2.
The Most Awarded Atomic Regulator
Virtually identical performance as the T2 with a Brass First Stage
The B2 gives divers an close alternative to the all-Titanium T2. The signature Atomic breathing performance is nearly identical. The B2 is ergonomically designed to be the world's most comfortable second stage just like the T2. The key difference is the chrome-plated Brass body of the B2 first stage, which is more economical without sacrificing performance. That's why the B2 has garnered more awards from independent tests and reviews than any other regulator on the market.
First Stage:
First stage materials are chrome-plated Brass and 316 Stainless Steel
Atomic Jet Seat high-flow piston first stage
Optional factory-sealed first stage to prevent outside contamination such as silt and sand and prevent freezing
Nitrox ready for mixtures up to 40%
First stage ports: 2 HP fixed / 5 LP on swivel cap
Second Stage:
All-Titanium second stage construction same as Atomic T2
Patented Atomic Seat Saving Orifice
Patented Atomic Automatic Flow Control (AFC)
Rapid adjustment knob for manual second stage de-tuning in special situations
Polished 316 Stainless Steel Atomic Comfort Swivel
A new high-flow second stage case that significantly lowers breathing effort at any depth from shallow water to beyond the limits
Dual material second stage cover enables entire front to be used for purge
Dual silicone comfort fit mouthpiece with tear-resistant bite tabs
2 year/300 dive service interval
Limited Lifetime Warranty – not contingent on proof of service
Optional color kits available
Here are some important answers to frequent questions regarding Atomic regulators...
What is Natural Breathing?
Atomic Aquatics has achieved what no other manufacturer has in a high-performance regulator – Natural Breathing. All Atomic regulators breathe with a natural and controlled air delivery sensation at any depth or breathing rate. Inhalation on the surface will feel the same as it does during your deepest dive. This is in part due to the AFC (Automatic Flow Control) employed in our second stages. This patented innovation is a simple device that adjusts the airflow automatically to compensate for the effects of depth. Atomic Aquatics regulators are the smoothest breathing regulators available...period.
What are the diving benefits of Titanium?
First, it is unbelievably lightweight which reduces stress during your dive and makes it a perfect travel regulator. Second, Titanium has no equal for corrosion resistance which means more safety, reliability and repeatable performance. And finally, its beautiful appearance stands apart from any other regulator.
Unparalleled light weight means less stress
In our mission to invigorate the diving experience, the first priority is on reducing stress – travel stress, gearing-up stress, jaw-clinch stress. The best way is to use the lightest material possible. But light weight must never compromise strength or durability. Titanium is the perfect solution. When you hold a Titanium Atomic regulator in your hand, you immediately realize the difference from other regulators. That means less stress for you from packing your gear bag, to donning, to even the final minutes of a long dive.
The B2 regulator is Atomics entry level offering priced to sell next to many of the lower end offering from other scuba manufacturers. At first glance the 1st Stage looks like one of several similar first stages on the market. It offers 2 high pressure ports on the body and 5 low pressure ports on a swivel cap giving the diver a wide range of possibilities when it comes to the comfortable set up of your gear. This is where the similarities end. The B2 First Stage is purposely designed to give nearly identical performance to that of the flagship (and far pricier) T2 but uses more traditional materials such as chrome plated brass in an effort to keep costs down. It is interesting to note that the B2 has actually won more awards from independent testing facilities than any other regulator on the market! Not too shabby for a so-called "entry level" choice.
Internally this first stage delivers consistent air to the diver with a balanced flow-through piston that will offer the same intermediate pressure with each breath at the deepest depths or lowest tank pressures of your dive. The high pressure piston uses a seal system that is self lubricating that is designed to minimize the friction in this critical part and reduce wear and tear and in turn maintenance costs for the regulators owner. To top it all off, the B2 is nitrox ready up to 40% right out of the box!
And as if all of this technology and innovation in the Atomic 1st Stages wasn't enough, their 2nd Stages are packed with one feature after the next all geared towards ease of breathing, longevity of the piece of equipment and low maintenance. The B2 second stage uses an adjustable, pneumatically balanced poppet incorporated into a portion of the regulator that many manufacturers are looking for ways to cut corners and reduce costs in materials. Here, Atomic leads the way by using Titanium and Kevlar in key common parts. For most manufacturers that would be enough ammunition to light up the advertising and begin singing of their praises from the local mountain tops, but not with Atomic. They pressed on with redesigning two other important pieces in the 2nd stage that turned out to be so successful they were awarded patents for their efforts! The Seat Saving Dynamic Orifice was designed to reduce wear and tear on the low pressure seat and in turn increase the high performance of the second stage for the diver by making sure the orifice only comes into contact with the low pressure seat when the regulator is pressurized. The other innovation is their Automatic Flow Control. Most every manufacturer of regulators offer some sort of a venturi switch in their second stages designed to reduce breathing resistance and help with the opening of the valve that delivers air to the diver when they inhale. At Atomic they've perfected this into a pressure sensing, self-adjusting device that regulates the delivery of the diver's air with every breath adjusting for increased pressure the deeper the diver descends. No more switches or dials to get that perfect breath of air! One last feature that the B2 offers is the patented comfort swivel hose that allows for 30 degrees of rotation without kinking your hose.
With the B2 regulator offering everything any diver could ever ask for from price to innovation and performance, there is no reason for any diver to choose anything else.

WHEELING - When Dana Holgorsen and the rest of the West Virginia football team returned from their 38-14 loss to Syracuse in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl in January, the Mountaineers coach realized some changes were in order.
''After that disaster in New York, we came back and we re-evaluated everything in the program,'' he said.
''We came up with a blueprint that we felt we could share with our kids to be able to get them in a position to win games. We came up with the 'T.E.A.M.' idea.''

WVU football coach Dana Holgorsen with Light of the Valley award winner Bob Contraguerro at Wheeling Park's White Palace on Wednesday.
That was the third-year coach's main message when he addressed the crowd that gathered to to celebrate the 'Light of the Valley' award at Wheeling Park's White Palace. The award, presented by the Wheeling YMCA, went to Bob Contraguerro Sr., the founder of Panhandle Cleaning and Restoration, for his exemplary community service.
''What we're trying to do in the football program is become a better team,'' Holgorsen said.
Hence, T.E.A.M. - Toughness, Effort, Attitude and Mountaineer Mentality.
Holgorsen said that last one took some time to develop.
''It's one thing that took me a couple years to grasp,'' he said. ''As an outsider coming in ... it's important to everybody to be a Mountaineer. Well, it's important to be a Red Raider, too. It's important to be a Cowboy, it's important to be a Longhorn, it's important to be all these different things, but until you say it, get in the middle of it, live it for a couple of years, you can't really get it.
''We really did a good job of educating our guys, because they're just like myself, coming from a bunch of different places other than West Virginia. When they come in, they need to be educated as well.''
The result was Friday morning meetings that turned into West Virginia history lessons.
''We really got down to the nuts and bolts of who we are. We told the guys they need to be proud of who they are.
''There's 1.6 million people ... actually, I think there's 1.8 million -well, 200 of them don't count cause they're down in Huntington (referring to state-rival Marshall University and not the city itself) ... so the 1.6 million people in the state is really what counts.
''These guys live it, they die it, they breath it ... I can't stress to you guys how much that it means to be a Mountaineer. Again, I probably dropped the ball on that the last couple of years, but going into this year, I can assure you that these guys are going to be proud to be Mountaineers.''
That was music to the ears of a crowd consisting mostly of WVU fans who were born and bred in the Mountain State.

The boy pouting his mouth behind marat was soo cute!ReplyDelete
Let me tell you a very funny story about Marat and his baby-makin' practices. Almost every time I saw him this summer, he was bangin' a new girl. Coming out of a dark hallway, in a closet, in the bathroom...you name it. Sometimes there would be two, three, four young ladies (at different times) leaving his hotel room.ReplyDelete
Erm, Richie and Matt, how about if when I use the word "girl" or "young ladies", you insert yourself (pun intended.) That should make you both feel better. ;)
Anyway, the last time I saw Marat, I asked him if there was a girl left on the planet he hadn't...(fill-in-the-blank)ed. Just as I recognized my error, and was adding "under thirty" to my question, he got that sh*t-eating grin on his face and said to me, "You want turn?" He was kidding, of course! But I think I laughed for three days straight.

Natch, more stories, please! Anything funny or Spaniard related especially.
OMG. Imma jump him, like, right now. Damn. Just the cheeky look on his face when he says "find the right woman and make babies"... I pretty much drooled on my keyboard.ReplyDelete
Rich: Marat does that to everyone :)
natch - how do you see him so often? and if you dont want a turn, i'll volunteer.ReplyDelete
I would, but I'd have to kill you. ;)
Srsly, most of the stuff is in the back of my brain. It doesn't get jogged up front until I see a post from Richie.
I don't see him often. I saw him a lot over the summer.
You go ahead and take my turn. Sara, Jo...anyone else?...you, too. I'm too old for him, and I'm pretty sure I would need several layers of full body condoms to protect myself properly. (Followed by a Silkwood shower.) ;)
it's worth the risk :)ReplyDelete

Even though I can't have kids no more I'll pretend I'm fertile. That way you & I can have lots of fun Marat. I can say something of mine will be exploding & I don't mean ovaries. LOLReplyDelete

As for a baby-makin' partner, I'll pass. I know it is not rational at all apparently, but Marat as a man doesn't do anything for me.
He does do lots of stuff for many other chicks though, according to natch... *lol*

A Jones County man told deputies that he fatally shot his girlfriend while he handled his handgun, an incident report says.
The sheriff's office says it is investigating whether the death was an accident.
They say 22-year-old Brittany Grizzle died shortly after 8:30 Monday night.
An incident report from the Jones County Sheriff's Department says it happened in a home on the 3694 block of Joycliff Road.
The report says 27-year-old Waylon Goodson told deputies it happened while he was handling his .357 revolver.
A third person in the house called 911 to report it as an accidental shooting, the report says.
The report says deputies found Grizzle in Goodson's arms, and he told them, "he killed his girl."
It says, "He told me he was handling his .357 revolver, trying to get the four rounds lined up in the cylinder so they would be the next in line for the barrel. He told me that he had the hammer pulled back and the trigger pulled to release the cylinder and allow it to free spin."
A deputy asked Goodson if he had used alcohol or drugs recently, and he said no. Goodson has not been charged, and the case is still under investigation.
The report also says a child was present, but does not describe any details.
The sheriff's department has not released any more details on the shooting.

35 Years Ago: Foghat's 'Stone Blue' Released
By the time they went in to record their seventh studio album, Foghat had already forged a very successful career by melding blues and rock. They continued that winning streak by releasing 'Stone Blue' in May of 1978, but the album also heralded the musical changes that would eventually lead to the band's commercial undoing.
Throughout the early '70s, the one-time Savoy Brown refugees who founded Foghat successfully built a beyond-solid reputation upon honest, pretention-free blues rock that yielded timeless anthems like 'Drivin' Wheel,' 'Fool for the City' and 'Slow Ride,' to name but a few.
By 1977, the quartet of "Lonesome" Dave Peverett, Rod Price, Craig MacGregor and Roger Earl had collected several gold and a pair of platinum albums, topped by that same year's two-million seller, 'Live,' after which they had to figure out a way to keep the good times rolling.
This challenge was met by 'Stone Blue,' which proved successful — to a point — by toeing the fine line between staying the familiar no-frills musical course, and flirting with supplementary instrumentation and a little production finesse.
Right off the get go, the album's title track gave fair notice of the band's motives with the markedly dense backing vocals and sweetened acoustic guitars that underscored those familiar boogie riffs; even the ensuing, roots-affirming cover of blues legend Robert Johnson's 'Sweet Home Chicago' was anything but pared down, in terms of its arrangement.
In fact, the closest 'Stone Blue' came to being pared down was on its second vintage blues song (Elmore James' 'It Hurts Me Too'), because the band's new originals — whether urgent and direct like 'Easy Money,' folky-sweet like 'Stay with Me' or varied and dynamic like 'Midnight Madness' — all displayed an extra layer of studio gloss, even if the quality of the songs still won out, more often than not.
Certainly at the time of the release of 'Stone Blue,' these memorable songs clearly satisfied most fans, who helped the album achieve gold, if not platinum sales; but, in retrospect, one could make the case for the album signaling the start of changes that would eventually derail Foghat's career.
The band's mainstream concessions would continue on their next album, 'Boogie Motel' (best remembered for the soft rock hit 'Third Time Lucky (First Time I Was a Fool)'), and then hit rock bottom with some ill-advised New Wave forays in the early '80s, but it was ultimately MTV and its demand for photogenic rockers that probably buried the lovable walruses' career prospects for good.
No matter — Foghat's musical legacy was firmly secured in the '70s, anyway (you could even say the release of 'Stone Blue' cemented it), as proven by the group's ability to carry on touring rather successfully for decades to come, and continuing through the present day.

MARTINS FERRY - The push for the postseason has begun.
Indian Creek bolstered its hopes of securing a position in the Ohio Division III playoffs by virtue of a 27-14 victory against Martins Ferry on Friday night at Purple Rider Stadium at the Dave Bruney Football Complex.
''We had some mistakes in the first half,'' Indian Creek coach Andrew Connor said. ''We had turnovers and some penalties that hurt, but the kids did a great job overcoming them. The kids didn't let that affect them.
''We just kept battling and finally got a win down here.''
The victory, which was Creek's first at Martins Ferry, keeps the Redskins in the thick of the Region 11 playoff chase. Indian Creek was 10th in last week's ratings.
Martins Ferry. meanwhile, fell to 5-2. The loss is a setback for the Purple Riders' postseason chances in Division IV as they entered in sixth.
''Indian Creek has a very nice team,'' Bruney said. ''They are a senior-dominated team. Both teams played extremely hard.
''It was an intense, good high school football game."
Things got off to a great start for the hosts.
Receiving the opening kickoff, the Riders lined up in the Wildcat with shifty junior Brian Styles breaking free for a 72-yard burst to the Creek 1, and senior Sean McGee bulled in from from there it 7-0 1:47 into the game.
Creek drove deep into Ferry territory but Riders senior Cody Schau picked off an Alex Young pass at his own 5 to thwart the threat.
A Ferry three-and-out gave Creek possession near midfield and again the Redskins marched deep into Ferry territory before settling for a Young 41-yard FG try that was wide left.
Another Ferry three-and-out allowed Creek to set up shop at the 38-yard line. The Redskins needed 11 plays, culminating in a 27-yard TD from Young to Corey Goodrich which came on fourth-and-13. Young's PAT knotted things at 7-7.
After another Ferry punt, Creek moved deep into enemy territory but Styles stepped in front of Young's pass and returned it to the Ferry 30.
Two plays later, junior QB Eric Flowers found Schau on a slant and he shook a tackler and broke free for a 63-yard TD to make it 14-7 with 7:05 left in the half.
Creek put together an eight-play drive on the ensuing series but Ferry's Zac Coole pounced on a fumble at the Riders' 23.
The Redskins got another crack with 1:08 showing and Young's passing moved IC into the red zone with 12 seconds left. Young scrambled to left and just before going out of bounds, found junior Blake Roar in the corner of the end zone for the score to knot things at 14-14.
''The score before the first half was really big,'' Connor said. ''That was just a critical score with all that went wrong in the first half and to be tied at the half was really big for us.''
The second half belonged to the Redskins.
Indian Creek took the kickoff and immediately put together a seven-play drive with Young covering the final 3 yards for the score and a 20-14 edge.
Creek salted the game away with a 61-yard drive with Roar plowing in from 3 yards out. Young booted the point after extending the lead to 27-14 with 11:11 showing in the fourth.
Indian Creek racked up 301 yards on the ground with senior Logan Woods leading the way with 167 on 18 totes. Young passed for 127 yards and rushed for 60 more.
Styles led the Ferry offense with 93 rushing yards on eight carries. Flowers completed 8 of 20 passes for 100 yards with Schau being his favorite target with three catches for 76 yards.

NAFTA: A deal's a deal
July 07, 2011
News that the U.S. and Mexican governments have finally inked a memorandum of Understanding on a new cross-border trucking program will be good for American shippers and, more importantly, save American honor on a promise made and kept.
The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) were among the first industry groups to applaud this move, noting that by bringing the U.S. into compliance with our NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) commitments, shippers will face far fewer retaliatory tariffs on hundreds of products now being exported to this vital trading partner.
At the same time, LM readers will note that there's been a growing trend to "near-source" goods as a hedge against disruptions in the global supply chain. While most multinationals will continue to rely on existing pipeline partners in distant parts of the world, having a manufacturing base and educated labor pool in this hemisphere represents a significant element of risk mitigation.
We are not suggesting, however, that NAFTA trucking is entirely without a potential downside. Shippers will have to be especially vigilant when it comes to choosing a 3PL partner and/or regional broker when dipping into cross-border trade for the first time.

Make a map in the form of a physical, three-dimensional sculpture.
You can map any subject, in any material you like. Clay, wood, papier mache, construction toys, sand, cake icing, whatever. Just as long as it's something physical (not computer graphics) and 3D (so not simply hand-drawn artwork).
It's an out-there challenge, requiring you to most likely throw away all your normal mapping techniques and pursue something novel.

Raleigh, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - Former North Carolina guard P.J. Hairston
submitted paperwork on Friday to play in the NBA Developmental League this
Hairston was arrested multiple times last June, leading to his suspension from
the UNC basketball program by head coach Roy Williams.
Last month, the university did not seek reinstatement from the NCAA for
Hairston, ending his career with the Tar Heels. Hairston is currently enrolled
in an online class at UNC.
"I am excited to continue to pursue my degree at UNC while also pursuing my
dream of becoming a professional basketball player," Hairston said in a
statement. "I appreciate all the support I've received during this process."
The 6-foot-6 shooting guard played two seasons for the Tar Heels, leading the
club in scoring at 14.6 points per game as a sophomore.
By submitting paperwork to the D-League, Hairston would enter the player pool
and is free to sign with any team. Hairston will also be eligible for the 2014
NBA draft. Jonathan Givony of Draft Express ranks Hairston as the 32nd best
draft eligible prospect.

Video: Can the Cardinals Campaign for Pope?
WASHINGTON, DC (wusa9) -- Pope Benedict leaves the papacy at the end of February and within 15 days of that the Cardinals of the Catholic church will gather in Rome to begin the selection of his successor.
I asked Father Thomas Reese, noted scholar with the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University, if Cardinals are allowed to campaign for the church's highest position.
He told me their friends among the College of Cardinals will campaign for them-try to solicit votes among the other Cardinals; but there won't be any campaign signs or candidate debates.
He added that while there will be talk of the next Pope coming from Africa or Latin America where the church has experienced its most growth, the majority of Cardinals are from Europe and its more likely he will come from there.
Reese said a new Pope should be in place within 2-3 days after the Cardinals begin meeting..before Easter.
Can American Catholics expect any major changes with a new Pope? No, he says that while a new Pontiff could be more outgoing and have a bigger personality than Benedict-Church teachings and positions on world issues won't change.

In response to jtkl's comment:
uhm you spell don't spell genius, "Genious." One should really avoid that mistake when one is trying to argue your opposition is less than. Spelling mistakes happen though, so we can move past that.
However, the rest of your post seems a bit incoherent. I think you should take a few deep breaths and rewrite it. For the sake of clarity.
Yo homey, this aint a damn spelling bee. Incoherent? Ha! You write as though you missed the last 16-months of Rajon Rondos life. Hows that for being Incoherent? You are in denial and the future is gonna smack you in your face with reality. Here it comes.
I'm sorry for your pain. Genuinely sorry. I realize you have probably misspelled a lot of words in your life and it might be a sensitive subject. No worries. I don't judge. Spell Genius anyway you want.
And don't worry if your posts make sense or not either. only a few foolish souls would bother reading what you write anyway
Thanks for ALWAYS reading and responding to what I write YOU FOOLISH SOUL. Too damned stupid to get out of your own way...........Are you a Rondo too?
A rondo? I'm sorry, I looked in the dictionary and it wasn't there. I had the same trouble finding "genious."
Perhaps you meant to ask if I am all star point guard who often leads the league in assists? No, sorry. My lifelong dream of playing for the Celtics didn't come true.

El Batey is home to all the tourist structures of the highly popular seaside resort of Sosúa.

Whatever the case, remember that outdoor events all stop at midnight or 1am, because of the curfew implemented by the authorities to fight against prostitution.

GREEN Racing Motor And More - Editor's Letter - Turn FiveWritten by on March 17, 2010 Keep Those Letters Coming
I love it when we get letters from the readers. Some months we'll receive letters on a wide variety of topics, everything from the cost of safety equipment to feature topic suggestions to human interest stories. Then there are other months were one subject seems to dominate the majority of the mail we receive. Months like that are usually the result of something that was written in the magazine, sometimes it's a feature but most often it is about a column either Bob or I wrote. This month was exactly that-single subject domination.
Now, we have been getting feedback on Project G.R.E.E.N. since we introduced the concept of "green racing" with the January issue. But it seemed to come to a head in the March issue when Bob wrote his column "Big Changes Are Coming: How Racing Might Soon Be Going Green." I continued to receive letters on the subject as this issue was shipped off to the printer in early January. Three of the letters are printed in Pit Board and all are worth the read. I encourage you to write in and let us know your opinion on the subject, especially where the first round of dyno testing of our Project G.R.E.E.N. motor is concerned. The article, which appears on page 30 and was penned by Jim McFarland, details the results of that initial test. In many ways it was eye opening and I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.
This issue also marks our Best of PRI theme as we turned veteran freelancer Jeff Huneycutt loose with camera and pen to cover the Performance Racing Industry Show held in mid-December in Orlando. His PRI feature story on page 70 takes the place of Race Products this month.
Hot on the heels of the successful IMIS Indy show, my team and I also headed to PRI curious to see what, if any, affect the Indy show would have on O-town. If there was an impact it was hard to see. The aisles of the PRI show were full of attendees and most every exhibitor we talked to was pleased with the results. Granted, the number of exhibitors was down compared with previous years-judging by the way the aisles were setup and the fact that the rear of the hall had empty space. But that's to be expected-we are in some pretty down economic times and racing, no matter how you slice it, is a disposable-income sport. However, brisk attendance at both shows tells me that 2010 should shape up to be a great one for the racing industry.
Green racing aside, the future of our sport lies within concepts like F.A.S.T. a new asphalt late model series in Florida that was developed by a group of veteran racers. Bob Bolles takes a look at the inner workings of this new series.
In addition, we have a slew of great innovative tech to round out this issue, including Part 2 of our Boss 351 Late Model engine build. We also take an inside peak at Mittler Brothers' Pull Down Rig, an innovative tool for teams that don't want, or can't afford, to mess around with a seven-post shaker. And we can't forget what has to be one of the more unique and entertaining stories that graces the cover of this month's Circle Track. It follows a group of northwestern short trackers who got the inspiration to run a full-bodied stock car in the country's longest endurance race-the 25 Hours of Thunderhill. It didn't go as planned and, regardless of the venue, I believe every last one of us has had a race just like theirs.
I'm writing this on January 4, so while you're reading it in mid-February I'm going to take this opportunity to wish everybody a Happy and Safe New Year! May your setup be balanced, your motor tuned, and your trophy case full.
Until next month go fast and turn left!
