Shaun White may seem like he came out of the womb with a snowboard strapped to his feet, but he had to learn just like everyone else. With the Burton TWC Standard Snowboard, progression has never been easier. V-Rocker profile means no more catching an edge, and the tapered tail will keep you afloat when you start venturing into powder.
- V-Rocker profile offers continuous rocker the length of the board for catch-free playfulness and float in the pow
- Biax fiberglass offers a forgiving, jib-friendly flex
- Fly Core uses wood from tip to tail for a lightweight and poppy ride
- Directional shape utilizes a slightly longer nose to improve control and float in all conditions
- 3-5mm (depending on size) taper uses a narrower tail for effortless turn entry and exit, as well as superior float in powder
- Extruded base is fast and easy to repair

My First Board
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For being my very first board, I was really stoked with the selection. I'm about 5'9 146, so I went with the 154 because on most of the rental boards that I have tried, this size seemed the most manageable for me in terms of size and potential speed.
Riding the board for the first time took some getting used to because it felt really light and slick, in comparison to the worn out rental boards I was use to. But this only helped getting down the slope faster and the maneuverability. I do notice that the back fin is smaller and I do think it helps my carving a bit. Feels a lot more fluid.
My color (red) board is similar to the Burton TWC Pro board that is also offered. I've gotten a few questions from other riders about it, still have not come across anyone else with the same board, pretty strange.
I'm hoping this board will last me several seasons, it's been great so far.
From beginner to Podium
Want to ride like Shaun White. Start with his graphic, a mid-wide for more stability and V- Rocker for catch free, fun ride. Easy to ride, even easier on the wallet.

We only stayed one night. The spots are like a paved parking lot where you pull in horizontally next to a parkway. The parkway has sprinklers which go off around 7:00 in the morning and makes everything wet where you need to open the door. Access to the pool at the neighboring Best Western is available. The kids running the store were too busy on their cell phones to pay attention to the customers. Oh, almost forgot the train that passes right next to the campground and blows its whistle. - HB Taxlady

A nice place to stay when you are passing through this area. It has a place where the Indians jumped the buffalo off a cliff. Park is clean and management is friendly. Has electricity, water and a dump station. - rolling homeless

The back in sites are quite short, while a 40' RV might fit, there would be no room for the tow or towed vehicle to park on the site. The pull through sites are curved and can hold a large rig. The electrical box was so far back we needed all of our 35' power cord to reach it. The 30A power was marginal with voltage fluctuations and large drops with any load. The back in sites are all satellite friendly but only one of the pull through sites is. No credit cards, but personal checks and cash are accepted. This is part of the county fairgrounds. I don't believe the previous review was of this campground, as there are no casinos nor a pool available. - Ned
Jul 2012 - $37.00
We needed a one night stop on our way to Glacier. This park did that for us and more. However, it's not perfect. The park is part of a large motel/gas station complex. They have done a great job of creating a nice park, but it is between a busy road and a busy railroad yard. If noise is an issue for you, this will be noisy. It was hot and humid when we were here and we ran the AC all night. I didn't hear any extra noise over that. Their pool is at the hotel (indoors so it's very warm and humid in there). There are at least two casinos on the property, so you have to walk in and amongst them to get to the pool. The people were very nice in the convenience store and in the hotel. The laundry worked great and the AC worked so well there that I really needed a sweater! The restrooms were clean but not as clean as they could have been. Overall, we'd stay here again with the expectation that it's a good one night place. - L. Miller
Aug 2010 - $20.00
Mostly correcting some information to others posts - The 50-amp sites are all back-in that offer both 30 and 50. When there is not an activity going on in the fairgrounds there is little for kids to do. Instead it is a good stopping point while passing through. It seemed to us that many buildings are marked as no smoking, but this must have been a recent change and the buildings still have a very strong smoke smell including the Super WalMart. Check your power outlet before setting up. - Workamper04

Very tidy, paved, cement curbing but sites very short and small. The extra amenities (pool, spa) are in a hotel - to get to it you have to walk down the street, past a gas station. It is situated between the main highway through town and the railway. The night we were there the train was shunting cars all night with numerous blasts of its horn! Our first and last stay. - Newhope
Jul 2015 - $42.00
We were just passing through. Being able to use the pool at the hotel next store was a plus. I thought the staff in the store were very nice and friendly. Spot was very narrow, no amenities. This is a pass through park, there are restaurants & little "casinos" around. Train horns and bells were a bit of a negative but we got used to them. No WiFi in the park, which is way behind the times, they said they are working on it. But the hotel has it so I went & used it on the pool deck while my son swam. RV guests are entitled to use pool and WiFi at hotel next store. - CharlesTBetz
Jul 2015 - $40.00
Registration clerk was not friendly at all. The sites are very closely together. Pull-thru sites are around an island in the middle of the campground, resembles parallel RV parking. The hookups for the water and electricity are on the opposite side of the rig, had to run the water hose under the rig to reach the hookup. There is no WiFi available which is way below par especially for the price they charge per night. Nope, we won't be coming back to this one. - gartail

Do you actually feel the improvement of BB30 (or PF30) over traditional BSA bottom brackets in pedaling efficiency during hard efforts? or is there proven data that supports the improved stiffness of the shorter, beefier bottom brackets or crank axles?
I know in terms of serviceability, longevity and noise, BSA BB takes it, contrary to what was advertised about the larger BB30, with the fancy bearings, and what not. I'm wondering if the newer bottom brackets have any edge whatsoever over the traditional system, or whether it's just a marketing tool to lower frame manufacturing cost.
smells like bull**** to me

If we are given H2SO4 + Al = ? + H2
How do we know that the answer will be balanced out to be
3H2SO4 + 2Al = Al2(SO4)3 +3H2
i just dont get how Al2(SO4)3 is bonded ? ionically ?? covallently ? please i need answers
GCSE chemistry help!! advanced balancing equations
|Posted on
|Take our survey to be in with the chance of winning a £50 Amazon voucher or one of 5 x £10 Amazon vouchers
I think it's ionically bonded, Al has a 3+ charge, SO4 has a 2- charge, we need the charge to add up to 0, so 2 Al gives 2x3=6 and 3SO4 gives 3x-2=-6, giving an overall charge of 0. Now that we have Al2(SO4)3, we know we have (SO4)3 on the right hand side, so we need 3 SO4 on the left, so we get 3H2SO4 on the left, similarly it's Al2 on the right, so we need 2Al on the left. Finally we have 3H2SO4 on the left, so we need 3H2 on the right.

Hey there! Aluminium Sulphate is an ionic compound. The charge on an Aluminium ion is +3, and the Sulphate ion is S042-. You have to make sure that each component's total charge adds to 0. Therefore, the negative ion needs to have an overall of -6 and the positive as +6 as they cancel out.
Al+3 - you need 2 of these
SO42-- you need 3 of these.
Al3+ will ionically bonded to the complicated/compound ion SO42-, which is an ion formed from covalently bonded atoms. This is what then forms Al2(SO4)3

The NLRB continues to flex its protected-concerted-activity muscles in a continuing effort to stay relevant, and employers continue to struggle to keep pace.
A collective action of correctional officers alleged that under the FLSA, they should be compensated for the time they cannot leave the prison and must remain in uniform.
The mantra to 'document all performance issues' before terminating an employee is underscored by the court's findings in the Landolfi case.
We must resist the urge to fight this new war in our workplaces by harassing and otherwise discriminating against those who have the right to work, and enjoy that right free from discrimination and harassment.
While employees must think before they click, employers must think longer before they discipline for fire because of that click.
Kevin Stuckey, an African-American, worked for AutoZone Inc. as a salesperson and then as a manager. During his employment, Stuckey was transferred to multiple stores in Chicago. Following his transfer in July 2012, in which his pay and job responsibilities were supposed to remain the same, Stuckey never returned to work. Instead he filed a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charge of discrimination claiming that his transfer was initiated because of his race. The EEOC filed a lawsuit on Stuckey's behalf, claiming that Stuckey's transfer was part of a plan to "limit, segregate or classify" employees on the basis of race. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois granted summary judgment to AutoZone, holding that even in a disparate impact case, the employees must show that they suffered an adverse action. The court held that there was no evidence that Stuckey's transfer resulted in an objectively humiliating or degrading change in working conditions. EEOC v. AutoZone Inc., No. 14-cv-5579(Aug. 4, 2015).
IMPACT: Transferring employees to different locations is a legitimate business reason as long as it does not result in an objectively humiliating or degrading change in working conditions for the employee based on some protected classification such as race or sex.

An ostracism from a social network likely should not support a claim for retaliation.
Employees who request accommodations should always be treated with care; otherwise you risk stepping on a retaliation land mine.
This loosening of the proof standard has the potential to be significant.

Let's all get together soon before it's too late.
Forget about the past and let your feelings fade away.
If you do I'm sure you'll see the end is not yet near.
Where do we go from here?
I was thinking about the Web and what it means to newspapers when this Chicago song popped into my head.
It wasn't one of Chicago's (earlier known as CTA) bigger hits. In fact, it was on the "B" side of an album they released in 1970.
But it always stuck with me because I felt it to be profound.
Today, The Columbian and most other newspapers are trying to figure out what to do with our websites. Like almost all newspaper websites, they don't even come close to paying their way. Essentially, newspaper websites follow no logical business model. They bring in far less cash than it takes to produce them. Truth is, they exist only because they are being heavily supported by the print newspaper.
Still, it's the future. So, most newspapers are willing to lose money on the operation with the hope that a viable business model shows up.
With all that in mind, I spoke to Libby Clark, our Web editor. She is a very bright, dedicated and passionate leader of our website and its content.
And content is key. No one argues this point. Content is king. Without it, all those accountants and administrative assistants and human resource folks and newspaper attorneys — important to be sure — are out of work.
So I wondered if the king, if the rules on content, were changing because of the Web.
"Are websites redefining the definition of news?" I asked.
"I would argue that the definition of news hasn't changed much with the Web," Libby said.
"No one would argue that what you had for lunch today is news on the Web, just because it's happening now. It must also be relevant information."
An excellent observation, in my view. And one that likely is held in most areas of the newspaper business. But what do you do with the likes of Facebook?
I've been known to tell my Facebook friends what I cooked for dinner. (OK, I need to get a life.) So I suspect the definition of "relevant" is likely to become a moving target for newspapers.
Still, I side with Libby's view. A newspaper's website is not intended to be Facebook.
I also asked Libby if the more traditional print standards are being adopted by newspaper websites. For example, are stories played the same way on the Web as they are in print, with the bigger stories getting bigger play?
"Yes, traditional print standards have been applied to the Web, and there has even been a resurgence lately of traditional print page design concepts influencing webpage design.
"Above the fold (top of the front page for print papers) still applies. Readers are less likely to scroll for information, so the most important information — for us it's news, for corporations it's their logo and main message — should go at the top of the page to the left."
Again, Libby has it right.
In the end, most newspapers believe they're making the right moves with content. In addition to the solid stories, our website has lots of photos, related content, documents, searchable databases and commentary from our readers. Quite robust, really.
But we have to keep working hard. And I suspect that nagging question won't ever leave us.
"Where do we go from here?"

Comments: I just bought this based on the TW video blog, and I'm very glad that I did. This string grabs the ball
very well. I played better today than usual. I am glad I bought this one. I have been using Kirschbaum Pro Line II 18g, but the
tension loss has become an issue. I'm glad I got this.
From: Scott, 5/15
Comments: I like this string! I've been using Head RIP Control 17g for years but wanted a change. I get more spin,
especially on serve, as well as great depth and control. It's not bothering my arm at all. I'm a 4.5 level player.
From: Ken, 5/15
Comments: This was an amazing change. It plays with lots of spin and also offers a little bit of power. However, the
strings seem to lose tension fast, and since PowerFiber is a multifilament, Cyclone kind of wears it down. Mine broke in about a
month. Still a very great string for a great price.
From: Loelue, 5/14
Comments: I love this string. I changed from RPM Blast and didn't expect to like these as much. I was wrong, I like
string every bit as much as RPM Blast, but it seems to lose tension a bit faster than my RPMs did. If you don't mind restringing a
more often, this is an excellent string with massive amounts of spin, plus it is less than half the price of RPM Blast.

|Definition of internal commerce , 193.
|Internal commerce larger in volume than the foreign trade, 194.
|Resources and industrial characteristics of different sections of the United States, 195.
|The Northeastern States, 195. The Southern States, 197.
|The Central States , 198.
|The Rocky Mountain States , 199. The
|Pacific States , 199.
|Tonnage of commerce by rail, 1910 , 200.
Though in its fullest signification the internal commerce of a country embraces every purchase, sale, and exchange of commodities occurring within its boundaries, together with the business of transmitting intelligence and of transporting persons and things from place to place, the term is here taken as referring to the interchange of commodities among the various sections and communities of a country carried on over interior lines of transportation--rivers, lakes, canals, highways, and railroads. In a study of the history of internal commerce, the local exchanges among the individuals of single communities, which would be included within the scope of the broad definition of internal commerce given above, are not of practical significance; and the business of the transmission of intelligence and of the transportation of persons and property, though its development is of vast importance in the building up of internal trade, is of itself a subject for incidental consideration. To describe the development of the exchange of products among the various sections of a country is the primary object of a history of internal trade.
Internal commerce can scarcely be said to have existed in America prior to the Revolutionary era. Practically the entire population lived on a narrow strip of territory along the Atlantic Ocean, and about the only domestic commerce of importance was the coasting trade. Even this trade was engaged largely in the distribution of imported goods and in the collection of domestic farm and forest products for exportation, as none of the colonies produced a large surplus of any commodity for which there was a demand in any of the other colonies. After the close of the Revolution, the rapid settlement of the region west of the Appalachian highland and the development of a sectional diversity of occupation--manufacturing in the New England and Middle States, grain-raising in the Ohio Valley, and cotton-raising in the South--gave rise to a large internal trade.
After this beginning, internal trade had a steady and rapid growth. The westward migration never ceased until the occupation of the continent from ocean to ocean was accomplished. The vast extent of territory with its incalculable wealth of natural resources, its plentiful rainfall and wide range of climatic conditions, and its facilities

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
While I agree that you should type your question more carefully, here's the solution anyway:
$$ f(x)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty g(\alpha)e^{i\alpha x}d\alpha \\ \frac{d}{dx}f(x)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty g(\alpha)\frac{d}{dx}e^{i\alpha x}d\alpha\\ =\int_{-\infty}^\infty i\alpha g(\alpha)e^{i\alpha x}d\alpha $$
Since we now have the function $i\alpha g(\alpha)$ in the inverse Fourier transform formula, it must be the Fourier transform of $\frac{df}{dx}$.

East Carson River Bear Country
I've seen bears and bear sign here as long as I've been coming here.
Bear behavior has been on a long term trend of increasing familarity with humans, and increasing numbers for the past couple of decades.
Then Vic Bergstrom sold the Little Antelope Pack Station to Joe. Joe's opened up the bear hunting in the Eastern Sierra around the East Carson River. This has changed the trajectory of bear behavior as well as their distribution.
This is a general post about bear encounters on the trails and in the terrain around the upper reaches of the East Carson River.
Bear Track: Dorothy Lake
Bear Tracks just South of Dorothy Lake Pass.

I decided to hike East a bit to check out the little unnamed lake a bit South of Dorothy Lake, and inspected the dried out little ponds that dot the meadow.
I found a bunch of tracks, and the most prominent were the bear tracks.

The weight of the walker, in this case a bear, compresses the snow as they pass, leaving tracks.
As the snow mass melts the compressed snow creating the tracks melts much slower than the surrounding snow, pushing the tracks above the receeding snow.

This rather morbid story is out of Sibera via Australia, and describes Brown Bear behaviors which are totally unheard of in the Sierra Nevada.
But this violent behavior is not unknown in Black Bears in Alaska, and by hungry or scared Brown Bears anywhere.

This bear greeted me when I was approaching my campsite at the Silver King Creek.

Program Snapshot
Common Fund's Global Health program supports biomedical research and training in chronic, non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, maternal-child health, mental health, emergency medicine, lung cancer, low birth weights, as well as in infectious diseases. The program includes three primary initiatives:
- Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI)
- Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa)
- Household Air Pollution Investigation Network (HAPIN)
Program Highlights MEPI
NIH commits $36M to train junior faculty in Africa
"Research must play an integral part in generating sustainable, quality health care in sub-Saharan Africa, which is the ultimate goal," said NIH Director, Dr. Francis S. Collins. "It is critical that we increase research capacity so Africans can carry out locally relevant investigations themselves, and develop the necessary expertise in areas such as bioethics, informatics, environmental science, and genomics. That will empower their participation in international collaborations." Read the full news article.
NIH-supported Component of the Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI): Research Career Development of African Junior Faculty will extend the activities supported under the original MEPI program by providing research training and mentored research opportunities for junior faculty in MEPI-supported African institutions. The goal is to increase the number of faculty with research expertise in order to build the next generation of African researchers. Read more about the plans for MEPI's future.
A special supplemental issue of Academic Medicine on MEPI accomplishments contains 32 articles on progress by the program to revitalize and expand medical training in sub-Saharan Africa.

Program Highlights HAPIN
Awards from the first funding opportunity for the HAPIN initiative, the Household Air Pollution (HAP) Health Outcomes Trial, will be announced in September – October 2016. The HAP Health Outcomes Trial sought applications from institutions/organizations to conduct a clinical trial across three or more Low and Middle Income Country settings to test improved stove and fuel interventions on health outcomes in exposed populations and to establish a biomarker center for the development and validation of clinical, physiological, chemical, biochemical and/or microbiological markers of exposure and pathophysiological responses to household air pollution.
8th H3Africa consortium meeting and 9th Conference of the African Society of Human Genetics (AfSHG)
The 8th H3Africa Consortium Meeting is May 12-15, 2016 at the Radisson Blue Hotel, Dakar, Senegal immediately followed by the 9th Conference of the African Society of Human Genetics (same location) on May 16-17. H3Africa Consortium members can register here (closing date for registration is April 7th). Registration and abstract submission for the AfSHG is through the conference website (abstract submission is open until March 10th).
The Seventh Meeting of the H3Africa Consortium was held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington DC and NIH Campus, Bethesda Maryland on October 11-14. The meeting was an opportunity for scientists to meet and to describe H3Africa's current status and goals and to showcase advances made in the project to the broader research community. The meeting on the NIH campus was open to the public and recorded. A videocast of the symposium can be viewed here. The agenda can be viewed here.
H3Africa Scientists Investigate Sex Differences. Sex and gender play a role in how health and disease differ across individuals, and considering these factors during research informs the development of preventive and therapeutic interventions for both sexes. Learn how supplements to H3Africa grants are enabling researchers to investigate sex as a biological variable.

This Global Forum strengthens the international dialogue on responsible business conduct and provides a platform to exchange views on how to do well while doing no harm in an effort to contribute to sustainable development and enduring social progress. The 2016 Global Forum will focus on achieving meaningful impact through responsible business.
Four decades after their adoption, the OECD's Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises have never been more relevant to ensuring that businesses behave responsibly, wherever they operate.
The OECD regularly publishes analysis on key developments and trends in global FDI flows using the most recent FDI statistics and data on mergers and acquisitions (M&A). We also disseminate the results of all investment-related work underway at the OECD.
Latest statistics for foreign direct investment (FDI) flows and international mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Analysis, trends and forecasts from the OECD using FDI statistics collected to latest international guidelines.
Trade and investment in natural mineral resources hold great potential for generating income, growth and prosperity, sustaining livelihoods and fostering local development. However, a large share of these resources is located in conflict affected and high-risk areas. In these areas, exploitation of natural mineral resources is significant and may contribute, directly or indirectly, to armed conflict, gross human rights violations and hinder economic and social development. The OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas provides step-by-step management recommendations endorsed by governments for global responsible supply chains of all minerals, in order for companies to respect human rights and avoid contributing to conflict through their mineral or metal purchasing decisions and practices. The Due Diligence Guidance for minerals may be used by any company potentially sourcing any minerals or metals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas, and is intended to cultivate transparent, conflict-free supply chains and sustainable corporate engagement in the minerals sector.
The Guidance provides recommendations for responsible mineral supply chains to help companies to respect human rights and avoid contributing to conflict through their mineral or metal purchasing decisions and practices.
These country reports present an overview of investment trends and policies in the countries reviewed. This can include investment policy, investment promotion and facilitation, infrastructure, competition policy, trade policy, tax policy, corporate governance, responsible business conduct, public governance, and human resources.
The OECD is developing a Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment and Footwear Sector. The OECD is hosting a month-long public consultation on the draft Guidance. The feedback received during the consultation will inform the final Guidance.
One of the main areas of OECD's work in the responsible sourcing of gold is to ensure that international standards do not further marginalise workers of the informal sector. This implies working on the formalisation of the Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) sector.
The working paper series on international investment – including policies and trends and the broader implications of multinational enterprise – makes available selected studies by the OECD Investment Committee, OECD Investment Division staff, or by outside consultants working on OECD Investment Committee projects.

Civil War biographies showcased in new book
Harrisburg writers Joe Farrell and Joe Farley recently released the third installment of their book series "Keystone Tombstones," published by Sunbury Press.
The book focuses on Pennsylvania graves of people who played a noteworthy role in the Civil War. The book accents the contribution Pennsylvania had in restoring the Union and ending slavery.
"Much of the nation's history resides in Pennsylvania, and we intend on enlightening and entertaining our audience with these mini-biographies," Mr. Farley said.
Because of the abundance of information for the new volume, titled "Keystone Tombstones Civil War," and to produce it in time for the 150th anniversary of the war and the Battle of Gettysburg, the duo accepted help from Lawrence Knorr, author and owner of Sunbury Press, who offered to write some chapters.
The book consists of short, historically accurate stories that each are about six pages in length. The book also has more than 100 illustrations the authors acquired during their research and travels throughout the state.
"The book took about six months from the concept of the book to it being published, mainly because we had a large amount of information from other volumes," Mr. Farrell said.
Mr. Knorr said that his wife, Tammi, not only did the photography for the book but also suggested the idea for the book to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.
"Keystone Tombstones Civil War" is available in hardcopy at Amazon.com or at the publisher's website.

Emmylou Harris Makes 'Hard Bargain' Sound Easy
Byline: Andrew Leahey, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Hard Bargain
Emmylou Harris
Nonesuch Records
There's a reason Emmylou Harris has become the go-to duet partner for virtually every male songwriter looking for a little country credibility.
Since partnering with Gram Parsons in the early '70s, Miss Harris has boasted one of the best voices in the business, imbued with the sort of sad, ethereal elegance that's as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. When she sings Love Hurts, you better believe it.
Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams and Conor Oberst have all featured her vocals on their own albums. Miss Harris doesn't solicit much outside help on Hard Bargain, though, jettisoning her collaborative past in favor of an intimate, personal song cycle.
There have been two sides to Miss Harris' solo work: the earthy country-rock that launched her career four decades ago, and the atmospheric folk that filled her 1995 comeback album, Wrecking Ball. "Hard Bargain" is a mix of both. Backed by producer Jay Joyce and instrumental handyman Giles Reaves, Miss Harris floats between the two styles with ease, crooning her melodies over hazy blasts of pump organ one moment and twangy guitars the next.
Although she wrote 11 of the album's 13 songs herself, Hard Bargain isn't entirely autobiographical. Miss Harris recasts herself as a homeless woman during Home Sweet Home and sings My Name is Emmett Till from the perspective of the title character, whose controversial murder helped trigger the American civil rights movement in 1955. In a genre that often relies on stock characters, she isn't afraid to venture well outside the box.
Still, she's at her most eloquent performing the tunes that hit closest to home. Darlin' Kate bids a reverent farewell to folk singer Kate McGarrigle, who succumbed to sarcoma early last year, and The Road pays tribute to her mentor, the late Parsons. I can still remember every song you played, she sings, subtly tugging at the heartstrings the way she's always done.
Hard Bargain is an understated record. The arrangements are lush, but they don't conjure up the swirling, majestic aura of Wrecking Ball. The vocal performances are modest, too, focusing on clear melody lines and leaving the diva acrobatics to the Carrie Underwoods of the world.
Modesty is one of Miss Harris' strongest assets, however. At age 64, she wears her years well, declining to swing for the fences for fear of missing the ball entirely. Hard Bargain may not be flashy, but there's a quiet, confident grace to these songs, which pull their punches while still leaving an impact. …

great work
I love how you are able to combine two different one point perspectives without having them conflict. And nice job capturing the green quality of light (I can never seem to manage that...).
This turned out really cool!
Thanks ! I hope to go back again soon
You should come !
You should come !
Stunning !!
Wow! What a capture! I absolutely love the composition in this, and the different ways the water moves at the bottom, and I love how silky the water at the bottom right looks. The exposure is fantastic and the colors are beautiful! The log and the white water really complement each other. Great work!
Lovely! Wonderful greens!
I love the composition here, with the water moving toward the bottom right. The colors are great and the exposure is awesome as well. Was the vignetting done in post or a result of filters?
There was slight vignetting from the ND9 filter I was using, but I made it slightly bolder in post. Thank you very much for the kind words !
beautiful exposure and composition, love it
The positions of the log and white water compliment each other well. Nicely done.
Mmmmmhmm, it was difficult to get to though, im actually standing on another bolder with the three tripod legs balanced down the sides of yet another haha. It must have looked funny
Thank you for the kind words !

OTTAWA -- It turns out fathers still do plenty to contribute to the risk-averse character of daddy's little girl.
New research probing how parents influence gender differences in their young children's physical risk-taking behaviours has found fathers are more protective of their three- and four-year old daughters during risky activities.
Mothers, on the other hand, treat their little boys and girls the same, the research suggests.
"Dads are the primary agents of gender socialization," lead researcher Lisa Kindleberger Hagan said in an interview.
"It matters because there are two schools of thought about why certain children take certain risks -- biological and societal. If it is socialized, and dads are in a sense coddling their girls, they're training them not to be risk takers, and some risk-taking is good.
"If you go through life without taking certain risks, you might be missing out on some opportunities."
Results of the study will be published in the next edition of the Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology.
Hagan, a psychologist at the Metropolitan State College of Denver, and Janet Kuebli from St. Louis University observed how fathers and mothers supervised their preschool children climbing across a 1.5-metre-high catwalk and walking across a 0.9-metre-high beam.
The parents were told the purpose of the study was to examine children's gross motor skills. They were asked to interact with their child as they would on the playground.
Eighty preschoolers and their parents, mostly white and middle-class, participated in the study. The researchers developed a scale to measure parental monitoring during their catwalk and beam activities, which are determined to be risky for preschoolers.
Parents who stood more than an arm's reach away from their child and didn't shadow their child's movements were coded as demonstrating a low degree of monitoring. The closer they stood and shadowed their child, the higher the score.
The study found fathers monitored their daughters more closely than did fathers of sons. The sex of the child had no bearing on how mothers monitored their children. Rather, mothers monitored children more if they perceived them to be less of a risk taker, regardless of their sex.
"Based on previous research, we hypothesized that mothers would treat their sons and daughters differently in risk-taking situations. Contrary to our hypothesis, we found that mothers of sons and daughters did not differ in the ways they monitored their children," the study states.
"The results of this study support the role of fathers as important gender socializing agents, in that it was fathers, not mothers, who monitored their sons and daughters [differently] during risky situations," concludes the study.
Carleton University sociologist Andrea Doucet says her four-year study of 120 Canadian fathers who are the primary or shared caregivers for their children shows some men are challenging gender stereotyping.
Doucet's results are profiled in her newly released book Do Men Mother? Fatherhood, Care and Domestic Responsibility.
Doucet didn't observe fathers and mothers involved in risky activities with their children, but conducted in-depth interviews and surveys about the men's daily lives and feelings on fatherhood. She found fathers fostered the autonomy and independence of their children, regardless of their sex, more so than mothers. Risk-taking is an extension of these traits, she said.
"My view is that fathers who take on caregiving are already beginning -- explicitly or implicitly -- to challenge gender stereotype around gender and abilities, [so] are more likely to treat boys and girls as more similar than fathers who are not primary caregivers or fathers who are not highly involved."

I just ordered some stuff:
LOL!Originally Posted by R. Danneskjöld
BTW, should be some sweet wheels...pretty similar to what I'm thinking of building for the Coiler.
Those are going to be some sexy wheels!
I read some random reviews, spoke with DT, and talked directly to Universal Cycles and decided to go with Universal Cycles to build them.
Everything I heard about them has been very positive.
The wheel builder uses proper spoke prep, proper technique, and they tension them very uniforml. They mentioned that they build over 2000 wheels per year and all that crap, but the important thing they mentioned to me was that they have a ton of return business because people are happy with their build. They like to tension their wheels nice and tight too. I like that. They know their stuff, that's for certain. I have researched this project intensely for a bit now and I'm sure I'll be happy with them.
BTW, the hubs will be red. I was going to go with red nips too, but I decided to use brass nips. They only come in black or silver.
Wheelbuilders? Can't LBS over there build wheels? How hard can it be ffs?
I recently had some hope pro 2 hubs built with double butted DT spokes and mavic 717 rims and couldn't be happier with them. The rear hub has a nice buzzzzzz to it also.

Looks like you are going to have a great wheelset. Make sure you let us know how they perform.
I may be fat but I'm slow enough to make up for it.
That's the real question I guess. It would have cost me $620 locally and the locals use lindseed oil only. I'm getting these for about $500. Universal cycles rattled off 4 different spoke preps that they do as well as the fact that they build wheels that don't require the typical 100 mile post build true.Originally Posted by Wheelchairman
They do it right the first time. This was info from reviews of actual customers. I felt I could trust that.
Lowcel: I plan to do a review comparing the performance differences between these and the typical XT/Rhyno Lite's.
Man, It almost hurts me to think of what your gonna do to those wheels, But congrats anyways, they're awesome!
You think you're sooooooo funny...just 'cause I out weigh you by 100lbs.Originally Posted by born2bahick
It's kinda like an ant carrying a watermelonOriginally Posted by chelboed
From the feedback that I've gotten...the EX5.1d is tougher than the Rhyno Lite's. The spokes will be A-Okay. The nipples are brass instead of alloy like the ones on my XT Rhyno's. The Hope Hubs have sealed cartridge bearings, so no more grease seepage.
The new set should be in the neighbeehoo of 1923g. The old ones are 2470g.
I'm getting some Kenda 695g 2.35" DTC Nev's to replace my old 760g 2.35 Stick-E's that wear out too fast.
I'm going to use standard tubes instead of the "super heavy duty" ones I have now. That should save me about 150g.
So all in all...I hope to save a little over 800g in mostly rotating weight. That's over 1 3/4 pounds...and I'll still have a tougher wheelset than what I've got. Surely I'll feel that.
Just ordered my Nevegal's too. Dangit! I hope they get here soon.
Just ordered more shizzle, dizzle:
I was going to get the Hope skewers but from what I've read they're pretty hit'n'miss as far as being able to hold the wheel on tight.
I've heard nothing but good things about the Salsa skewers. I had originally ordered red, but then I thought it may look goofy b/c I have a black frame and black fork...the skewer nuts and levers are on the outside of the frame and fork. I called and changed them to black. Should look pretty classy with black rims, nips, spokes, skewers and some schweet red Hope hubs.
It's easier to match blacks than reds anyway.
That's going to be a really nice setup, and saving 800g - you're going to be flying up the hills!

Any shop that builds (decent) wheels will use spoke prep, will tension them properly, and they will be tensioned uniformal. And the comment about tension them "nice and tight" is crap. They're is a specific amount of deflection the spoke should, it's not up to the builder to decide if he is going to make them "nice and tight". Can you notice a difference when riding if your spokes aren't "nice and tight."? I know I can't tell the difference when my front spokes are at about 80 Kgf as opposed to 120 Kgf.Originally Posted by chelboed
What's wrong with boiled linseed oil? What is the advatage of the "4 different spoke preps" they said? You would think once they find one they liked, they would stick with it instead of using 4 different ones. Why not go with the DT Swiss ProLock nipples and forget about prep all together?
Just some thoughts.
I agree. Also, I would rather buy wheels (If I didn't build my own) from a builder who builds 100 sets a year as opposed to 2000.Originally Posted by MattP.
Well, you can crap on them all you want.
I did my research and the consensus is that they build good wheels. (edited useless crap out) It's nice that you know it and can't tell the difference between 80 & 120 Krappy gorilla farts when riding. Myself...I like 'em "nice and tight".
Why don't you go poop on someone elses dinner and let me have a warm and fuzzy freakin' day in my warm and fuzzy freakin' thread?

Wooo!! So does every shop that builds wheels!!! Woooo!Originally Posted by chelboed
Cool story.Originally Posted by chelboed
Cool story again.Originally Posted by chelboed
Just answer my questions I stated in my first post: What is wrong w/ boiled linseed oil? What advantages do the "4 different spoke preps" hold over it? And, if you are so worried about prep, why not the Prolock nipples?
Oh, and I couldn't care less if you order your wheel through your lbs, hell I wouldn't even order a wheel from the shop I work at if I didn't work there, cause we carry jack ****, and mark up is a *****. My point is, a shop will (should) do just a good a job as an online retailer BUILDING the wheels. i never mentioned you should have bought them at your lbs.
Yup, your skrood dood.Originally Posted by ViperZ
Lemme know how they work though. If they prove to be sturdy...I still may order some in the future.

7 Steps to Landing a College Scholarship
Posted on 3/18/2014 12:04 EST
There is such a thing as free money when it comes to paying for college -- if you know where to look. Between merit-based scholarships and grants for students in financial need, there is an abundance of college scholarships available to both rising and current students. A little time and dedication may pay off in the form of funding for a significant portion of your college tuition. Just remember that grants and scholarships are free, whereas loans must be paid back.
Photo by flickr.com/mayah9907
Contact your high school guidance counselor.If you are an upcoming first-year student, make a date with your high school guidance counselor. He or she can point you towards the best resources for identifying scholarships you may be eligible for based on your geographic region, grades, and achievements. The counselor may also have historical data on specific grants and scholarships that indicate previous students' success in winning them. The counselor knows your record and may be able to provide personalized suggestions for finding the most lucrative college scholarships.
Ask the schools you are applying to.You can apply for scholarships offered by the colleges you are applying to and also for aid packages sponsored by various organizations. Many schools provide comprehensive lists on their websites of both internal scholarships and external grants; this page posted by Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio is a good example. External scholarships can come from the federal government, state government, private or non-profit organizations.
Search for scholarships online.Kevin Paskvan, director of financial aid at Ohio Wesleyan, recommends sites such as Fastweb and Salt when searching for scholarships and other tools that are useful in the financial aid application process. The Federal Student Aid office is a good resource for identifying federal grants.
Think creatively about the type of scholarships you may be eligible for.There are scholarships for men, women, people with disabilities, students in the military, students interested in particular fields, and applicants from abroad. There are also specialized scholarships that exist outside these boxes. For example, we spotted a scholarship especially for vegetarians and one for students who are instrumentalists and vocalists.
Treat applying for scholarships as a job.In order to increase your chances of securing financial assistance, Leann Kendzerski, associate director of admission and financial aid at Ohio Wesleyan, recommends setting aside time just to work on the scholarship search. She suggests looking for scholarships that speak to you and your background, such as those offered by organizations you have been involved with or some group you plan to be a part of in the future. She notes that the more scholarships you apply for, the greater the likelihood of success. Kendzerski knows a student who applied for close to 50 scholarships and secured nearly $11,500 towards the cost of her freshman year.
Photo by flickr.com/jedbarbaran
Find out colleges' policies on external awards.Kendzerski stresses the importance of checking with the schools you're applying to in order to determine if they reduce internal grants and scholarships when you receive external awards. The total of your scholarships and grants cannot add up to more than the costs of attending school, so you must alert the financial aid office of any external scholarships you have secured to ensure you don't jeopardize any of your internal funding.
Take the essays seriously.Many scholarships require some sort of essay or project that demonstrates your eligibility for the funds. While you often can use parts of one essay for other essays, it is essential that you do your research so that each suits the scholarship. Look for college scholarships and grants that speak to your personality and ones whose application essay and/or project will let you shine.

Posted on 07/27/2011 11:10:04 AM PDT by nickcarraway
Jordan hosted its first Levantine Goat Beauty Pageant on 22 July, in which breeders from the Kingdom and Gulf States took part.
Levantine goats are distinguished from other breeds for their curved noses and soft hair. A levantine goat can sell for $25,000 in the Gulf States.
Yahia Abu Jaber, the organiser of the pageant, said 'the levantine goat represents old traditions for Arabs the levantine goat has has many beautiful characteristics, and this goat differs from other goats in terms of body shape, height, the incline of its head and its wide-open eyes. This makes it more expensive, he noted.
The prices of levantine goats in the Gulf states can range between 100,000 and 200,000 Riyals, equal to between $25,000 and $50,000 US dollars.
The pageant was organised outside the capital Amman near Baqaa Camp for Palestinian refugees. It was attended by Saudi, Emirati, Kuwaiti, Syrian and Palestinian breeders, Reuters reported.
First place for both the male and female goat sections went to 'contestants' owned by Yahia Abu Jaber.
The organisers hope that the competition will help to support the breeding and trading of goats in the region and open up new markets for breeders to sell goat products in the Gulf States.
this thread is going to end badly....
I see Helen Thomas pictures in the future for this thread.
In NY state, you can marry your goat. Or hasn't that legislation been filed yet?
And this is news??
Oh, dear.... the jokes just write themselves on this one.
This is what happens when all the women in your society dress as to look like vaguely humanoid black blobs...Or as that old country song goes, "Lookin for love in all the wrong places..."
ping to your interest
this thread is going to end baaaaaaaaaaaaadly.
Goats are disgusting. A typical mid-eastern perversion.
Sheep, however.. now THERE'S a nice critter.
do you mean ewe?
ewe don't say....
What do you call a muslim with five goats? A pimp
How is this different from any 4H fair?
That's not exactly what I was getting at.
Matthew 25:31-34
..... in terms of body shape, height, the incline of its head and its wide-open eyes. This makes it more expensive,
"If you can't love the one you want"
"Love the goat your with."
New Zeland has the same thing for sheep.
Anyone want to hazard a guess for the reason why it has a perpetual look of shock/surprise?
and its not parody??
are YOU sure??
The Muslim version of "Brokeback Mountain"
Brokeback Madrasa.
My comment was not meant about goats in general.
I was making a romantic reference.
Sheeps be part o' mah cultural heritage, lass.
Let's give it some coffee!
"Goats Compete in Jordan Beauty Pageant" (and WIN!)
Now think how many more views this thread would have, with that simple parenthetic edit!
"A levantine goat can sell for $25,000 in the Gulf States."
That's a high priced call girl!
Just don't be makin' "romantic references" about *my* goats, buddy!
You'll have to get past me, first.
Wanna try?
If fact, the 2008 Texas Cowboy Memorial Shoot video sports a pretty cool dancing goat!
Immortality and artificial demon possession?
Kitteh: "I taught him that."
If that were Maru, he'd be saying, "I beleeb u r in mai spot..."
Thackney has reminded me that immortality and possible demonic possession are side effects observed in animial life upon administering my coffee.
I had actually forgotten that.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock will miss "the first few weeks of preseason camp" after having surgery last week.
Coach Brian Kelly announced in a statement Sunday that he would assume Denbrock's duties until his assistant returns.
Kelly says Denbrock is "doing extremely well," but did not give specifics about his medical condition.
Denbrock is beginning his first season as offensive coordinator at Notre Dame after taking over before the Pinstripe Bowl last year when Chuck Martin left to become head coach at Miami, Ohio.
Denbrock says he is "resting and feeling better every day."
Notre Dame opens its season Aug. 30 against Rice.

In FR/LG - On the way to Mt. Ember, there is a place near the Spa (quick healing spot) where there are five trainers together (one double, so actually four) and if you time your Vs Seeker right you'll battle them all. Also, the Cycling Road's entrance is the best without saying.
In R/S/E - Gabby and TY. Also Victory Road, since re-battling trainers then was difficult.
This goes without saying, the Elite Four Rematch is the best way to train in R/S/E, but the problem in FR/LG is there is no damn Elite Four rematch before we finish the post-game... darn...

FOX 47 - Health News
MADISON (WMSN) -- A new medical procedure was used for the very first time in the state at UW Health in Madison.
The state-of-the-art surgery no longer cuts a person open, followed by a long recovery to fix a blood vessel.
Instead, doctors pull a moveable sint into the body starting from the inner thigh. A strong piece of fabric then covers the weakened artery.
71-year-old Anita Penniston was first patient in the state to get the procedure.
"This was a snap. I had some pain the first day after I've been driving. Maybe I'm not supposed to be," said Anita Penniston, UW Health patient.
The alternative for Anita would have been a nearly 3 month recovery, had she opted for regular surgery.
The most common symptoms of an abdominal aortic aneurysm are back pain, or tenderness in the abdomen.
