Among women at low risk of breast cancer, postmenopausal hormone therapy with estrogen alone may reduce the risk of breast cancer. These results—which warrant additional research and should not be considered conclusive—came from further review of the Women's Health Initiative clinical trial of estrogen alone and were presented at the 2010 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS).
Hormone therapy with estrogen (with or without progestin) effectively manages many menopausal symptoms, but studies over the last several years have raised concerns about the health effects of postmenopausal hormone therapy. In the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) clinical trial of estrogen plus progestin, hormone use decreased the risks of fracture and colorectal cancer, but increased the risks of heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, and blood clots.[1] More recent reports suggest that combined hormone therapy may also increase lung cancer mortality.[2]
Estrogen alone did not appear to increase the risk of breast or lung cancer but did increase risk of stroke.[3] Because estrogen alone increases the risk of endometrial (uterine) cancer, it is generally reserved for women who have had a hysterectomy.
In the results presented at SABCS, researchers evaluated subgroups of women enrolled in the WHI trial of estrogen alone.[4]
These results were discussed at a press conference moderated by Judy Garber, MD, MPH. Dr. Garber described the results as "provocative and preliminary." Further research is required before firm conclusions can be drawn about the relationship between estrogen alone and risk of breast cancer.

Dear Editor:
Reservoirs do not mean water will be there, i.e., Lake Powell is now lowest ever.
Good for PAWSD to step out of Dry Gulch reservoir project. Also, good for PAWSD to possibly consider ratepayers a cut in cost, due to not supporting Dry Gulch. The extra charge should have never happened without a vote from ratepayers.
Rivers need to run free to protect wildlife — we seem to think humans need to come first.

- What does this mean?
The Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro is Epiphone's tribute to one of the best loved guitars of the last century: the Gibson Les Paul Custom. We love Customs and so do many of our customers but the price these elegant beasts retail at can be quite staggering when you're just starting out. That's where the Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro comes in! Featuring the 'custom' signature gold hardware and white finish the Les Paul Custom Pro looks the business! But because Epiphone are innovators they decided not to just stop at mimicing the Custom in an affordable package but to add the cutting edge 'Pro' technology: ProBucker humbuckers each with a separate coil tap!
Here's what Epiphone say about the Les Paul Custom Pro
Dressed to Kill! The Les Paul Custom made its debut in 1954 after the initial success of the Les Paul Goldtop. Mr. Les Paul himself wanted to convey to audiences that the solid body electric guitar was not a fad but a superb and challenging instrument and that his signature axe, the Les Paul, was the king of all electric solid body guitars. So, Les requested a Les Paul with a custom color finish in solid black and solid white with gold hardware that would blend well with a tuxedo. The result was the Les Paul Custom, or the "tuxedo" Les Paul, as it became known among fans. The Les Paul Custom quickly became one of the most recognized guitars in the world and Les himself used his Les Paul Custom in concert, on his weekly television show with wife Mary Ford and on his album covers, including his famous duet with pal Chet Atkins, Chester and Lester. Now with Epiphone's superior ProBucker humbucker pickups with coil-tapping along with the Custom's classic gold hardware, fully bound body, neck and headstock, and mother-of-pearl inlays, we think you'll agree that the Epiphone Les Paul Custom PRO is "dressed to kill."
Great Tonewoods, Classic Les Paul Sound: While all Les Pauls share common design features, the Les Paul Custom distinguished itself from the Les Paul Standard and Les Paul Goldtop with a solid mahogany body. The Les Paul Custom PRO carries on that tradition but with the added twist of a maple veneer top, which adds a subtle "bite" to the Les Paul Custom's legendary tone. Just like Les' personal Custom, the Les Paul Custom PRO has a solid mahogany neck with a 24.75" scale that's hand-fitted with a glued-in joint for optimum neck-to-body contact, which allows the Les Paul Custom PRO to resonate as one solid piece of wood. The rosewood fingerboard features mother-of-pearl block inlays and has a 12" radius, a 1.68" nut and 22 medium-jumbo frets. The mahogany neck has a very comfortable and super fast SlimTaper "D" profile, the most popular profile found on today's Les Pauls. The Custom PRO also features beautiful 5-ply (white/black) binding around the maple veneer top and the back along with single-ply cream binding around the body. The classic rosewood fingerboard is bound in white and the clipped dovewing headstock features 5-ply (white/black) binding along with a '50s era/Custom-style "split diamond" mother-of-pearl inlay and, of course, a vintage "Epiphone" logo in mother-of-pearl. The Kalamazoo-era bell-shaped truss rod cover features "Les Paul Custom PRO" in white silkscreen in tribute to Les' timeless design. The Les Paul Custom PRO comes in Alpine White and Ebony.
ProBucker Humbucker Power: The Les Paul Custom PRO now features Epiphone's ProBucker pickups, a 4-wire design with coil-tapping inspired by Gibson's legendary BurstBuckers. ProBucker pickups recreate the sound of the original hand-wound "PAF" humbuckers made by Seth Lover at the Kalamazoo factory in the late '50s. Epiphone ProBuckers feature all the same ingredients as original PAF and BurstBucker†pickups, including Alnico II magnets, Elektrisola magnet wire, 18% nickel silver unit bases and covers, and pole screws, slugs and bobbins manufactured to Gibson's original specifications. The result is a phenomenal pickup that, over time, will develop the subtle, one-of-a-kind characteristics that you can only get from vintage humbuckers. And best of all, those unique pickup characteristics will give your guitar a unique "voice." No two vintage Les Pauls sound alike and ProBuckers give your Epiphone Les Paul Custom PRO a one-of-a-kind sound that will get better the more you play. So plan on playing your Les Paul Custom PRO a lot! The Les Paul Custom PRO includes a ProBucker-2 humbucker in the neck position that is slightly overwound for greater definition at higher volumes. The bridge pickup is a ProBucker-3 humbucker, which is also slightly overwound to give your solos a wide tonal range. Each pickup features coil-tapping via a push/pull control at each pickup's volume knob, which really gives the Les Paul Custom Pro the ability to be any guitar you can imagine. All volume and tone controls feature full-size 500K potentiometers matched with Epiphone's rugged, all-metal, 3-way toggle pickup selector switch for long-lasting performance.
Unbeatable Epiphone Hardware: Epiphone's reputation for great guitars extends to its unbeatable hardware and the Epiphone Les Paul Custom PRO delivers with a standard-setting gold LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and a gold Stopbar tailpiece for superb tuning stability. Both the Alpine White and Ebony models feature gold hardware, including gold Grover machine heads with a 14:1 ratio.

Fantastic guitar, excellent tones from all pup's and phasing switches.
Anonymous review via Feefo | Purchase date: 20 August 2015
Far superior to my Gibson Les Paul standard from 1980's.purchased this for the pro bucker pickups and coil tapping and new phase effect.This guitar is awesome cannot praise it enough.needs to be setup as action was too high but a change of strings lowering height and adjustment to attenuation and it perfect.Chinese guitar but don't let that put you off.you would be crazy to buy Gibson these days as the ones I've seen were so disappointing that I changed to USA Stratocaster but this Epiphone is truly amazing value.

United Way of the Columbia-Willamette will receive a $700,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to reduce intergenerational poverty in the Portland-Vancouver area.
More than 550,000 people live in poverty in its four-county area (Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties in Oregon and Clark County), according to a news release from the Portland-based organization.
About two weeks ago, the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington received a similar four-year, $700,000 grant from the Gates Foundation.
Rick Melching, Community Foundation executive director, said he has talked with Keith Thomajan, president/CEO of United Way of the Columbia-Willamette, but neither organization is far enough down the road to know whether their plans might intersect.
They are among nine philanthropic partners in the Pacific Northwest that will distribute a total of $5 million from the Gates Foundation. United Way of the Columbia-Willamette is the only one in Oregon.
The recipients will research local needs and work with community leaders to determine the best use of the grant funds.

Bottom line is that the secondary isn't tackling, covering, or playing the ball. DL play is inconsistent. Hawk is playing his tail off, for the most part. Matthews is a non-factor with the club. OL was horrible once EDS went down. Even with the injuries, can't see how Newhouse stays. He's a turnstile. Good guy, etc., and all that...but he's not executing. GB just doesn't have the depth they've had in years' past. And to some degree, that's also the result of losing Schneider, McKenzie, and Dorsey from the front office.Hide replies
Not a bad analysis, but just how much depth do you think any team has? Remember, Bulaga was out for the year before the first regular season game. Sherrod is working his way back from a serious injury and clearly wasn't ready today. Then EDS is injured and the line has new/different players in three positions. True, Newhouse is not very good and hopefully will not be back next year. Matthews is playing with the club, Neal has a knee problem, Perry is just back from a foot injury that kept him out for three weeks. In some areas, they are down to third string players. What team can be successful with so many KEY injuries?
Apparently Tort knows everything about everything. All opinions will be judged by the all knowing Tort and will only be deemed worthy if they fit into Tort's belief system
PJ: Insightful blog until you went back to Schneider, McKenzie and Dorsey. TT has done an excellent job of getting players. Just like any team(the Brewers come to mind), you can't win consistently with back-ups.
An excellent job getting players? Yeah, those guys in the secondary are unbelievable! Come-on, he has come up short back there and it's not getting better. Granted the coaches have some accountability, but they can't overcome the lack of talent.
Actually it is packer booboo that knows everything about everything. Tortalicious is just a disciple.
This worthless defense has routinely made careers for any player you care to name, they amass yards like you might see in a school yard. Just crazy stupid hail mary's are completed quite regularly and it is why this team always loses big and predictably loses big against the upper third of the league. Its a veritable reel of the 3 stooges.
Sick of the lousy ball skills of House and Jennings and the tentative play of Williams. As a whole the d backs don't want to tackle. Linebackers are giving up the edge again and with no help from the secondary the rushing totals are going to soar.Hide replies
If there is one need in the upcoming draft, it will be bigger, more aggressive corners.
If the goal was to get 2 wins out of the next 4 games, this was a game they needed to win. Defense needed to step up but instead they stepped back. Going to be very hard to win in NY with Scott Tolzien and I do not see them beating Lions in Detroit with Calvin Johnson. 2 weeks ago everything looked so different...now not so much.
Clearly everyone,including myself, is frustrated with our look on defense. If Burnett doesn't bang into T. Williams on the 1st td pass, maybe we end up with the INT!! Neither fg miss by Crosby was a chip shot. Neither kick was struck badly, they had the distance. I live and die with these guys every weekend, but I never feel the solution to our problems is a wholesale purge of the coaching staff. This was a tough loss and you can see the toll it took on McCarthy by his tone in the postgame interview. When Rodgers goes down our chances of making the playoffs go to 50/50 and each week the chances decrease! Live with it!!! We did find something out today. Tolzien can lead this team.Hide replies
leading the team in TB to INT percentage
I agree with gcollier. Tolzien looked like a promising backkup - a couple a terrible throws but it was his first time on the field.
And, Morgan Burnett is quietly having a really bad year. Maybe something that starts bad just snowballs but his tackling and coverage have really dropped off.
gcollier: At least someone is making sense. Now you see how good #12 really is!! Defense has been bad the last two weeks.
Great comment, gcollier. I think the loss of the starting QB in back-to-back games clearly has rattled McCarthy. Seriously. I don't think too many coaches have had to deal with a situation like this. I thought Tolzien did a pretty good job today. He seemed to have a short memory after the picks, which is good thing. What was it...6 drives, 1 TD, two missed FG, two made FG, and an almost TD. Pretty good for a guy who was just signed off the practice squad, and didn't get any reps this week. I still think the Giants and Vikings are beatable, but our defense has GOT to get it's act together!! LET'S GO PACK!!!!
...and Crosby can not start to have a slump now.
McCarthy is overmatched right now. That's obvious. Guy just can't handle the adversity and the team reflects thatHide replies
You must be a troll or completely dense. It is a young team that is near the top of the league in injuries, if not the top of the league. One of them is arguably the best QB in the NFL. Recall this guy handled a ton of injuries in 2010 and brought the hardware home. McCarthy and Thompson are the best tandem IMO. And if you are making clueless statements because of good ol' number 4 then you need to get over it.
Remember in 2005 when Favre was so clearly overmatched after the injuries that year. 4 meant more than the number on his back that year.
I recall Sherman coaching the team in 2005 not Favre. Of course injuries finished what TT started by rebuilding. Not sure what 2005 has to do with McCarthy's playcalling.
Overmatched? Did you say that in 2010? The team is absoluely decimated by injuries and significantly more than in 2010.
Back in May, many Packers came to the Brewers blog and made comments about baseball season being done, raze Miller Park, Packer season is the only thing to look forward to...
This is karma coming back... making fun of a local team for having a bad year due to countless injuries... now the Packers are on a 3rd string QB and the cupboard is running empty...
if people are going to be on that one writer about the story before the QB went down, they need to look at themselves first for bad mojo if they were one of the many that posted back during the Brewers season.Hide replies
I am upset with "reoccurring issues" too McCarthy.... like throwing on 3rd and 1 when you have a practice squad qb in the game, and your running back is one of the best short yardage back in the NFL.Hide replies
And if the defense is stacked to play the run and your offensive line has just been juggled due to injury, you still run it? Come on, Warrior, use some sense.
Before Crosby's miss, the O-line was fine and we were running fine. That was a typical MM sequence. Throw incomplete on 3rd and 1 and have Crosby miss a FG - brilliant!
My biggest complaint is twice on 3rd and 1 we pass. Give the D_ _ _ ball to Lacy and let him pound it down their throats!
poor mike. tries to be classy, businesslike, keep a stiff upper lip while the ship sinks, but we all can see he's got chopped liver to work with on the defensive side of the ball, coordinator included. not that any of us could do better, of course, but we're not dumb. so let me say it for you, mike: this defense is an embarrassment.
hmmmmmm, I don't see any of the regular apologists defending this horrible defense, they call us fair wether fans for pointing out the obvious, the defensive backfield has been horrible all year, the only team they shut down was the lions (who were without C Johnson !) GB only beats teams have losing records !)
Capers and the defensive backfield coaches all have to GO ! Enough is enough ! They have not been able to stop any of the top teams in years!
Can you imagine what Peyton Manning would do to this secondary ?? They might put up 70 points!, and now even the run defense stinks, two straight games when you know the team is going to run to burn the clock and they still let the team run right down there throats, Embarrassing ! The NBC announcers were showing how bad this defense is (as if we needed to hear it from them) Now that the D does not have AR covering for them, they have been exposed as a weak and soft unit. Please fire Capers now, and use the first 5 picks in next years draft on DB's and safety's and show our sorry lot the door.Hide replies
MOST TEAMS only beat teams with losing records... its how the NFL works. AND you're simply wrong about that stat idiot!!!! We have wins against Baltimore (winning record), Detroit (Winning record), should have beaten Cincy (our OFFENSE BLEW THAT ONE), a win against .500 Cleveland... if we beat all of the winning teams on our schedule so far... we're undefeated moron!!!!
Relax moron ghost. So do you want to defend this great defense? Two years ago it was the worst in NFL history and somehow people want to ignore it. TT hasn't done as good a job as he thinks drafting DB's and it's obvious. The coaching isn't doing us any favors either because they are confused and overmatched.

Gorgeus drawing. How long did this take you?
Looks lovely! The anatomy is great and nice attention to details! Shading is also lovely, great balance with the shades. The background is kind of getting in the way in this drawing. It's kind of taking the spotlight and mixing up with the dog. Perhaps if the background would be lighter then the canine would stand out much more.
Splendid work , mate!

Charlton did not create many chances to win the game but Powell was not complaining even though his injury-hit side are just one place above the Sky Bet Championship drop zone.
"It's our first clean sheet of the season and our first at home since November," he said. "I have been willing us to get one and it has been individual mistakes that have really cost us.
"In respect of today, another positive is that it's another point for us, especially with the players we have available.
"We are missing a number of key players but the boys who are out there are willing themselves and pushing themselves to try to get us wins and points."
The Blackpool draw followed a 1-1 draw at home to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.
"I have got to say we have played two of the top six with arguably a weaker squad because of injuries and they have managed to get two really positive draws," Powell added.
"Obviously we are in the business to win games but looking at it I have got to take the positives as 1-1 against Forest and 0-0 against Blackpool has arrested the three defeats we had previously and we can now do our best to build on that.
"That's the only bonus from the international break, that the boys can recover and the injured boys can hopefully make themselves available for the upcoming games."

With one of state's smallest enrollments, numbers aren't exactly a strength for Greenwood Christian Academy.
Yet the school's Class A athletics program has found a way to maximize the strength of its numbers.
For the first time since becoming a full-time IHSAA member in 2006-07, Cougars teams won three sectional titles — one each during the fall (boys soccer), winter (boys basketball) and spring (baseball).
Not surprisingly, many of the school's male athletes played on two, and in some cases all three, teams — partially out of necessity, but mainly because of the school's emphasis on multisport participation.
One-sport specialization, though allowed, isn't encouraged at a school that offers boys varsity teams in soccer, basketball, baseball, track and field, cross-country and golf, and girls varsity programs in softball, cross-country, track and field and golf.
"One thing GCA absolutely celebrates is that we have to share athletes and our kids will be able to play, one, two or three sports," said Doug Hagist,
dean of students and also the head baseball coach. "We almost expect them to play more than one.
"Our kids have won three sectionals this year, and just about everybody was part of more than one."
Boys basketball coach Jamie Satre not only agrees but insists the crossover can make athletes more well-rounded and perform at a higher level in what they might regard as their best sport.
"It's good to allow them to do multiple sports. Different sports include skills that can be helpful in the other sports," Satre said. "For example, baseball requires really good hand-eye coordination, and you see that many good baseball players are also good at basketball. It also helps the school to be able to compete and have enough numbers for its teams.
"The camaraderie is really good, and I also think burnout can be an issue in high school sports. It's good to have a breather and some variety of being involved in other sports."
Although none of the school's girls teams won a sectional title, most of the programs have enjoyed various measures of heightened success in recent years.
Junior Hannah Peters, who competes in volleyball, basketball and softball, said both socially and emotionally, the green light to play three sports is a benefit.
"I've made friendships playing on each of the teams so I wouldn't want to miss any of them," Peters said. "It would probably burn me out (playing one all year) because I like the variety."
Senior Gunnar Rastenburg, who played on all three of the boys sectional championship teams, shares the sentiment.
"I look at it as cross-training," Rastenburg said. "I definitely think it would affect me negatively if I couldn't do it. You get to do different things and skills, and I like playing each of them."
Although Greenwood Christian's enrollment has grown the past 10 years — up from 100 to approximately 230 — its numbers are still small comparatively small. Hagist acknowledged that enrollment can have a positive or negative effect on the fortunes of athletic teams but insisted that that is not the priority when it comes to setting up class size at the school.
"We've enjoyed responsibly steady growth," Hagist said. "Our headmaster (Bruce Peters) will only take what we can house and teach effectively. We're not going to double our enrollment and all of a sudden we lose what makes our academy special, like the size of classes and the bonding that makes kids feel so at home and part of a family here."
Hagist added that the school's Christian devotion is a central aspect to what goes on in its athletic program, regardless of on-field results.
"The idea behind the word Christian is that we conduct ourselves in a different manner, and we hold ourselves to a different standard," Hagist said. "There's nothing that says we can't do that competitively. We certainly don't have to be anybody's doormat, but we just need to do everything in the right way."
Coaches and team members often arrange Bible studies throughout the season, including invitations to opponents in pre- and postgame prayers.
"It's an ongoing process to always evaluate what competing in the right way does look like," Satre said. "We try to go back to that. I guess it's a cliché, 'What would Jesus do?' It's definitely in the center of what we do."
Peters said maintaining that sense of mission calls for diligence for student-athletes, as well.
"On the court or the field, you've definitely got to keep watching that," she said. "You don't want to act in a way where someone will think, 'She's just being a hypocrite, wearing the name Christian but not acting the way that she should.'
"It's also a privilege to share what it really means to be a Christian through your actions and to show you can play aggressively and not be any less of a Christian."
That competitive spirit served the school's sectional championship teams well this year.
"I think the main thing we had was hard work, just not giving up when you get down," Rastenburg said. "We've lost quite a few games in soccer and baseball, and in basketball we had the talent but couldn't figure out how to bond and play our best.
"But we kept working and listening to the coaches, and it really paid off this year."

The American Red Cross is asking people to donate blood at the Greenville Studio Friday.
The blood drive will last until 1 p.m. Friday.
Red Cross officials say the process usually takes an hour or less. One person's donation of blood can potentially save three lives.
Officials say holiday weekends, sadly, tend to increase the need for blood because of car accidents with more people traveling.
WITN's Greenville Studio is located at 317 E. Arlington Blvd., Greenville. Registration for the blood drive takes place at Boulevard Bagel.

Urbanisación Leon Group
The loan will help all these micro-entrepreneurs of which Benedicta is one. She says that she joined Pro Mujer two years ago, on the invitation of an adviser from the institution who came to visit her in her house. Benedicta has a business weaving and selling sweaters. She told us that she learned this activity together with her mother and her children, making this a family business. Later with a loan from Pro Mujer she expanded her business.
The loan she is now requesting is to increase her capital, buying wool that she'll buy in the markets of the city of La Paz. Later she will make them and sell them in her sales place. This method of work allows her to support her family. When asked what she liked about Pro Mujer she replied that she liked the loans, health care and training that the institution provides.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Benedicta es integrante, ella indica que hace dos años que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por la invitación de una asesora de la institución que fue a visitarle a su casa. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de tejido y venta de busos; da a conocer que este negocio lo emprendió conjuntamente su madre y sus hijos, volviéndose un negocio familiar, posteriormente con un préstamo obtenido en Pro Mujer amplio su negocio.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de lana) que adquirirá de las ferias de la ciudad de La Paz y posteriormente a la elaboración lo comercializará en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para mantener a su familia, ya que ella es soltera y tiene cuatro hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta el área de crédito, salud y capacitación que le ofrece la institución.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Great line. Great climb. The 2nd pitch corner was stellar fingers to awkward, but enjoyable hands. The traverse on the 3rd pitch was no big deal, and there is gear where you need it on the dirty 5.6 slab above. The final pitch up the headwall flake is not-to-be-missed. Crazy fun climbing with jaw dropping exposure.
Highly recommend. Why this line stands empty as the sport routes below are swarming with people is beyond me.....
Easy descent down the Cocaine Gully (first gully on climbers right)

Because you either climbed on a weekday or got lucky :)
Spring/fall weekends see a crowd on this one. Looks like you sampled some of Smith's best (think my wife and I ran into you guys in the L. Gorge).

|Is the second pitch 10b? I was told it was 10a? I'm also suprised it gets a grade III. Not trying to argue, just curious if this is the general consensus. Doesn't really mater, great climb for sure.

|Why do I see all the ratings at Smith being upgraded? The first crack pitch is def .10a. I can understand the .10b rating if you start with gumby, but nothin harder than .10a in the crack. One of my favorite climbs. I can see it from my bedroom window every morning!

|First pitch is stellar, easy 2 move lieback .10 move into the corner, than super enjoyable jamming with great feet. Pitch 2's traverse is a bit spicy as the chalk isn't super obvious and its a pendulum back into the dihedral should you peel. The crack above has gear that is well, not awesome but adequate. Pitch 3 is the best 5.9 pitch I've done anywhere.
By Ming

rating: 5.10- 6a 18 VI+ 18 E1 5a R
Pitch 2 is a heady lead and solid R - it's not just an ankle breaker - it's a solid hip breaker with that swing if you fall on the traverse for sure. I know 5.8 to 5.5/6 slab sounds easy but it is a very serious lead with harsh consequences for failure. The 5.5/6 slab part has very poor protection with shallow protection of poor quality rock so you are essentially soloing at the 15 feet point of the traverse.
We did Lion Zion (5.10c/d) as our first pitch - and I must say my toes are mad at me from all the continuous edging I had to do. It outright hurts! The traverse over to the top of the pillar is super easy.
Pitch 3 is absolutely spectacular G-rated fun exposed climbing. I find it to be as easy as the traverse. Call them both 5.8, or both 5.9. It's somewhere in that neighborhood.
It's awesome that all 3 pitches offer so many different experiences! My favorite multipitch route at Smith Rock!

|I wasn't sure where the traverse was on p3 and went a bit above it, but then down climbed an ended up doing it right. Just follow the chalk. While the traverse is run out, the rock is really solid. You have to commit to the traverse (and do 75% of it) before you'll be able to see the 5.6 crack.

|If you insist on staying in the crack at the small roof crux on P2, then it's 5.10. BUT, a small detour to the right has 5.9 pockets past the roof and then go back to the crack.

|Had to bail before the final money pitch due to weather. Took 4 raps with a 60m single rope. Be super careful on the loose slab of P3... I was almost killed by rockfall knocked loose by the team ahead of us. Easy to link P1 and P2 if you are a strong leader.

|Seems like this may always be the case based on some of the comments here, but there are some BIG, rotten flakes near the anchors of the traverse pitch that you really ought to watch out for and avoid. Knock one loose and they could easily kill anyone they hit at the base. Would love to see them safely trundled.

the #1 priortiy must be SEO and writing crappy articles with almost no info so they clickety click the ads.
Lets say today you would get 100 users "clickety click the ads" on crappy article. But no one would link to that article. So visitors number and clicks would not increase.
If article is good then people will link to it, visitors count will increase, and you'll get more clicks. Today 100, tomorrow maybe 200 :-)
Isn't good content part of the solution to SEO?
Content is king. It always has been and it always will be.
Crappy articals (along with crappy spelling) might make it to the top occasionally, but they are unlikely to stay there.
I've had reviews that have been just below a company website for a search on the company name, that have kept that position for the past 4 years. The reason is that it is quality content, and it stays there because it is constantly getting more links. Let's see a crappy article do that.

Crappy content only gets visited once and then only long enough for the visitor to determine that it is in fact crappy content. You're only assuming they're going to click your ads to get away from you. There are lots of ways to get away from you and as surfers become more aware they'll use these ways more frequently. Good content gets explored and possibly later returned to. It gets linked to and it gets talked about and obviously this has the effect of creating more traffic, perpetuating the cycle.
Good things come from good. It's a known universal law.
why would anyone with adsense wanna write good articles?Depends on if you want traffic or not.
Like everybody said - if you have crap for content, you won't get many visitors, and the visitors you do get - you can't guarantee that many will not immediately hit the back button and look elsewhere.
With poorly-written articles, the only way you'll get a lot of traffic is if you put money into AdWords, but if you start dropping a lot of money into AdWords, eventually the amount of money you are spending on AW will overshadow any money you are making from AS, and then you start losing money.
Losing money = bad.
You will get out in proportion to what you put in.
All these people people are very targeted for advertisers and they are probably more likly to buy. Great for anyone who is worried about smart-pricing.
Secondly, advertises will target such sites, as they want your audience. That means more bidding, and more cash for you.
Well, thats my theory and it seems to be working.
Crappy articals (along with crappy spelling)
Indeed. :D
Don't knock crappy spelling. An occasional bit of it can be good for your wealth ;)
But to answer the OP's question: who wants to read or link to rubbish? Back button clickers aren't likely to be ad clickers.

But to answer the OP's question: who wants to read or link to rubbish? Back button clickers aren't likely to be ad clickers.
Well, one can always take the scraper's approach of placing three large rectangles above the fold, with the content underneath, in the hope that the confused reader won't even see the "crappy artical" and will click on an ad by mistake.
Anyway - who is making more money or who will be here tomorrow or the next day I think is still a question to be answered...
I have tried a quality site on a topic I find reasonably interesting once - didn't really work well. Choosing a subject that you enjoy and working on a product that you like to see growing is something I find more rewarding and more sustainable.
Building a website is the same. We learn as we go along. I believe we all do, and as we get better and learn to express ourselves better, so will our content get "better"...

A different point: Why would you want to work on a site with bad content?
Many--perhaps most--Web entrepreneurs have no writing or editorial skills, and they couldn't care less about content. They just want to make money, like the e-commerce guy in the Google Search News forum who recently complained about "intellectual nonsense" in Google's search results. That's why boilerplate script-generated or datafeed affiliate sites were the range a few years ago, and it's why made-for-AdSense sites and computer-generated, keyword-driven template sites ("Post your review!") are the rage now.
In a medium where the cost of entry is low and the key drivers of circulation (search engines) don't distinguish between information, e-commerce, and pure junk, it's easy for anyone with entrepreneurial instincts, minimal technical skills, and greed to make money--at least for a while.

I think that you're equating "entrepreneur" with "short-term money-grabbing cheapskate".
I didn't say that at all. But there's little doubt that the Web is a popular venue with short-term money-grabbing cheapskates. :-)
In spite of that, you will still tend to find good writing for the very reasons mentioned in this thread. Good writing gets links, and ranks higher in the search engines. Good writing may be in the minority, but you are more likely to actually *find* it.
In fact, most of the verbage I see on the web, excluding forums of course, is satisfactory if not breathtaking.
I Hope you'll pardon me, but the perfectionist in me comes out. That should be "verbiage".
Aside from that, I'm not as confident as you in the quality of writing on the web. Some of it is well crafted, but I think a majority of run of the mill internet prose would bring a grade of C, at best, in a high school 10th grade english class.
Don't you mean "I hope" not "I Hope". No soup for YOU!
The perfectionist in me feels like coming out to play also.
:) Just kidding of course.
-- BTW wouldn't that be English not english? -- I speak American anyway so I don't necessarily have to or need to use proper English anyway. Please correct me if I am wrong though.
Poking more fun.

...and yes, I meant "kinda", which in everyday speech is acceptable (sorta).
Most books are written by seasoned authors or along with seasoned authors. The internet is much different. ANYONE can hop on and create a site and start writing away. Just because someone is not a seasoned author does not mean he/she does not have a good piece of informtion, opinion, or idea to convey. Those who are not seasoned authors write how they speak mainly because they are limited to just that. This is why much of the content on the internet (mom and pop) is written in a similar manner.
Sure an author can spout credentials, show off knowledge, and write with a colorful language such as Shakespeare. There is nothing wrong with that. Just keep in mind if they cannot gain rapport with their reader, their writing can be rather pointless as well as worthless. It all depends on subject matter, audience, and how you want to convey the information. Sometimes is best to use language that mirrors their audience. This goes for grammar and all - bad or good. (Mirroring is the BEST known way to gain rapport with your reader.) Sometimes it is to just convey the information without author bias. An encyclopedia comes to mind.
-- Personally I find Shakespeare a bit tedious to read. Must be the verbiage!
"As I was making this widget I did find that x, y,and z product helped tremendously. They..."
"As you compare the calculated results between a x% and y% interest rates you will plainly see how big of an effect a slight variation will have on your payment...blah, blah, blah... Yes, you can save a great deal of money which is why it's VERY important to shop around for the best rate possible. The internet makes that simple and easy to do just that."
I don't believe in content being too good or complete (I used to believe that) unless advertisers who are publishers are looking for traffic to the same or very similar content. If there is a product or service to go along with what you are writing about and YOU are not actually selling the product or service...well your visitors got to buy somewhere. If you feel a specific article is too complete spitting it up may be the way to go and that can work wonders.

Whether you're ready to take animal protein completely off the table, or just want to ease into a less meat-centric way of eating, here are some of meatless recipes from some of our favorite Rodale foodies. You can try each on its own for a lunch or light dinner, pair with salads and bread, or mix and match some of the selections to create a larger meal.
#1: Grilled Ratatouille with Goat Cheese
Now that grilling season is in full swing, Matt Goulding, food and nutrition editor at Men's Health magazine, suggests this tasty and seasonal side dish.
Makes 4 servings
2 medium zucchini, sliced on the diagonal into ¼-inch planks
1 large red onion, sliced into ¼-inch rings
1 red or yellow bell pepper, top and seeds removed, quartered lengthwise
1 large eggplant, sliced widthwise into ¼-inch planks
½ Tablespoon red wine or balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup crumbled goat cheese or feta
¼ cup basil leaves, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Place the vegetables on a baking sheet and season with half of the vinegar and olive oil, plus salt and pepper.
2. Arrange the vegetables on the grill and cook each until lightly charred, then flip and repeat. Each of these vegetables should cook in roughly the same amount of time, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
3. Return the grilled vegetables to the baking sheet, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and vinegar, and top with the torn basil and the goat cheese.
#2: Linguine with Escarole, Jalapeno, and Tomatoes
When you're in the mood for some pasta, but not the same old sauce, try this recipe suggested by Prevention magazine food director Judy Hill. Fresh tomatoes give it a seasonal zing you're remember for months. Pair with some crusty bread to sop up every last drop.
Serves 4
1/2 lb linguine
4 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 head escarole, shredded
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1/4 tsp salt
3 tomatoes or 1 pt cherry tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Boil linguine in salted water. Remove and reserve 1/2 cup of water from the pot, drain the linguine, and return to the warm pot over the lowest possible heat. Add the oil, escarole, garlic, jalapeno, salt, and tomatoes to the linguine and toss until escarole wilts. Stir in the reserved cooking water. Add the cheese and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
# 3: Creamy Potato, Kale, and Leek Soup
From Women's Health magazine senior editor, nutrition, Bridget Doherty comes a soup bound to satisfy. "I made it for a Soup Group that I'm in—we get together once a month to have soup," she says. "I loved it, and so did everyone else. It's really rich and creamy but still healthy." Add an extra half-cup of milk if you prefer a thinner soup.
Serves 4
1 pound red potatoes, unpeeled
1 Tablespoon canola oil
3 cups (6 ounces) kale, chopped and tightly packed
3 cups leek, white and pale green parts, chopped (2 medium leeks)
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups 1 percent milk
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Ground black pepper to taste
1. Cut the potatoes into golf ball–size pieces and place on a microwavable plate. Cover with waxed paper. Cook on high, rotating occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a pot, heat the oil for 1 minute over medium heat. Add the kale, leek, and salt. Stir. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the milk, potatoes, and nutmeg. Reduce the heat to medium low. With a potato masher or the back of a large spoon, smash the potatoes into small chunks. Simmer until the flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle each serving with pepper.
#4: Maria's Fried Chickpeas
Here's a great appetizer or side dish that couldn't be easier to make. "I first tasted this delicious treat at a hip Lower East Side Manhattan restaurant," says Rodale.com editor-in-chief Maria Rodale. "When I tried making them at home, my kids ate them like candy."
Serves 5
1 can organic chickpeas
1 cup olive oil
Salt to taste
1. Pour a cup of olive oil into a saucepan.
2. Open a can of chickpeas, drain the liquid, and pour into the oil.
3. Cook on high heat until brown and crispy.
4. Take the chickpeas out and put them into a bowl lined with paper towels to absorb the oil.
5. Salt to taste.
#5: Maria's Slow and Crispy Mac and Cheese
Another suggestion from Maria Rodale, who's happy to share her thoughts about cooking with lard if you've had enough vegetarian options by now. As for this recipe, it's comfort food at its finest, featuring a crispy topping that's optional—but do yourself a favor and try it at least once.
Serves 4
1 bag whole wheat organic elbow or rotini pasta
8 ounces Cheddar cheese
4 ounces Colby cheese
1 cup milk
3 Tablespoons butter
Salt to taste
½ cup whole wheat bread crumbs
3 Tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup pine nuts
1. Put a large pot of water on the stove to boil.
2. When it's boiling, add the pasta.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
4. Grate the cheese.
5. When the pasta is done, drain it, and put it into a casserole dish.
6. Add the cheese, milk, butter, and salt and mix it up a bit.
7. If you want to add a crispy topping, mix the breadcrumbs, olive oil, and pine nuts in a bowl and then sprinkle over the pasta and cheese. If you don't like pine nuts, leave them out.
8. Bake for about 40 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

The troubled Finn still has less points this year than his team-mate Sebastien Loeb, who has only started three of the seven rounds run so far.
AUTOSPORT opinion: what's gone wrong at Citroen?
Hirvonen's contract with Citroen is up at the end of this season and team principal Yves Matton says he will consider driver options after Finland.
"Sometimes you have a period where nothing works and I'm still there," said Hirvonen.
"Now I concentrate on Finland where we can have a fresh start and forget the past. We can be in a good place there and go flat out."
He insisted he remained calm over his future.
"I am not confirmed for next year. I think it's the same for everybody," said Hirvonen.
"For me I feel I have really good pace. For sure, people are seeing things in different ways, but I know what is going on.
"I have made some mistakes and struggled with many things, but I am just going to carry on and concentrate on the next rallies."
While confirming he would take two frontline rather than pay-drivers next year, Matton would not be drawn on Hirvonen.
"It's a little bit too early to talk about Mikko's contract - the option is not up yet," he said.
"I will think in the summer and decide after Finland. But, I will have to think about the philosophy of my drivers for next year – it's not just about Mikko or not Mikko."

The lithium-sulfur battery has been deemed one of the most viable candidates due to its high energy density and non-toxic, inexpensive components. In order to reach its full potential, sulfur should be incorporated into a conductive carbon host structure to ensure its electrical conductivity and cycling performance. In addition, rapid capacity fading resulting from the polysulfide shuttle mechanism should be addressed. The goal of this dissertation is to employ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study various nanostructured carbon materials that can serve as a cathode component in a lithium-sulfur battery. The dissertation is divided into three topics. The first topic describes the creation of graphene/sulfur composites suitable for in-situ TEM. TEM studies on sulfur are limited due to sulfur's ability to sublimate at the operating conditions of most conventional TEMs. Therefore, we develop a layered structure in which sulfur is enveloped between two graphene sheets to stabilize the sulfur. We report the fabrication methods and TEM analysis of these structures. The second topic is the study of sulfur which is incorporated into single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The inner cavity of a SWCNT provides a large electrochemical interface, good mechanical stability and the potential to retain polysulfides formed during cycling. We utilize a two-step procedure consisting of thermal oxidation and high-temperature filling to produce sulfur-filled SWCNTs. Our electrochemical testing shows a clear dependence on the cell's performance with the thermal oxidation temperature. We conclude that 475 °C is the optimal oxidation temperature for sulfur filling and results in the most stable cycling performance. The last topic is in-situ TEM studies of multi-walled carbon nanotube-sulfur composites utilizing various solid electrolytes. We examine the implications of employing a Li2S-P2S5 solid electrolyte and compare with a Li2O solid electrolyte during in-situ TEM studies. When using a Li2S-P2S5 solid electrolyte, we are able to show the formation of a lithium-sulfide phase on the surface of MWCNT-sulfur composites and show evidence of lithium dendrite growth suppression. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Novel protective coatings for silver and copper alloy cultural heritage objects using atomic layer deposited metal oxide barrier films Marquardt, Amy Elizabeth http://hdl.handle.net/1903/17239 2016-03-29T03:33:38Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Novel protective coatings for silver and copper alloy cultural heritage objects using atomic layer deposited metal oxide barrier films Marquardt, Amy Elizabeth Preserving silver and bronze alloy cultural heritage objects is a monumental challenge for museums as they house thousands of objects that are sensitive to atmospheric corrosion. Metal alloy objects are currently preserved by applying cellulose nitrate lacquers, however, these coatings are limited by short lifetimes, non-uniform application, and appearance changes. This thesis describes investigations of a new method for preserving silver and bronze alloy art and cultural heritage objects using atomic layer deposition (ALD) diffusion barriers. My research focused on determining the potential of ALD films to protect cultural heritage objects while adhering to the strict requirements of art conservation, which require the coatings to minimally change object appearance, have a long effective lifetime, and be completely reversible without significant substrate alteration. ALD coatings were structurally engineered to minimize color changes on silver, silver alloys and bronze patinas by modeling the simulated reflectance spectrum of single and multilayer ALD film stacks. Optimal ALD film structures for minimal appearance change depend on the substrate, requiring different films for silver alloys and bronze. ALD films protected silver at least 15 times longer than cellulose nitrate films, for an expected lifetime of more than 100 years. ALD film porosity decreases with increasing film thickness with no correlation to "dirty" surface treatment, indicating a thick ALD film could effectively protect a non-ideal surface or real cultural heritage object. Al2O3 ALD films were removed with weak solutions of NaOH, however, more Cu than Ag was removed. XPS depth profiling on combinatorial Ag-Cu alloy libraries showed Cu removal was limited to the top 2-3 nm of the alloy surface. ALD films can be deposited on bronze alloys and patinas with and without wax protective layers to prevent changes due to environmental exposure. Bronze patinas have a more complicate surface roughness and chemistry that causes difficulty in achieving a uniform, high quality ALD film. Plasma cleaning is an effective method to ensure high-quality ALD coatings on complex surfaces with tortuous paths, chemical heterogeneity, and topography. ALD films are promising as cultural heritage diffusion barriers as they are reversible with negligible effect on substrate composition. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Topological frustration of artificial spin ice supplemental movies Cumings, John Marsh, Thomas Drisko, Jasper http://hdl.handle.net/1903/17170 2015-12-04T12:37:53Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Topological frustration of artificial spin ice supplemental movies Cumings, John; Marsh, Thomas; Drisko, Jasper Supplemental movies for the manuscript entitled "Topological frustration of artificial spin ice." 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z NA-ION INTERCALATED HIGHLY TRANSPARENT AND CONDUCTIVE FILMS GU, FENG http://hdl.handle.net/1903/17134 2016-03-29T02:57:03Z 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z NA-ION INTERCALATED HIGHLY TRANSPARENT AND CONDUCTIVE FILMS GU, FENG Transparent conductive films (TCFs) are materials with both high optical transmittance and high electrical conductivity. This thesis focuses on developing high transparent, high conductive, and low-cost transparent conductive films. This thesis reports Na-ion intercalated reduced graphene oxide (Na-RGO) films as low-cost, scalable, high performance transparent conductive films. The interlayer distance of RGO allows for Na-ion intercalation, which causes energy band structure changes and electron doping. As a result, a simultaneous increase in both transmittance and sheet conductivity has been achieved. The visible light transmittance and sheet resistance showed great enhancement from 36%, 83 kΩ/sq to 87%, 311 Ω /sq before and after Na-ion intercalation. The air stability test showed that the optical and electronic properties of Na-RGO films were more stable than Li-ion intercalated graphene. The results demonstrated the great potential of Na-ion intercalated printed RGO films for TCFs applications. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

Ambient, in English – ambient, enveloping. In music this term was introduced by Brian Eno . The story goes as follows – Eno got to the hospital, where he spent quite a long time bedridden, and at some point he discovered that as a result of either fatigue, or weakness due to bolezni that his attention was on some airheads. Quite suddenly he realized that he perceives noises outside the window of his chamber, like some kind of music – echoes of the sounds of the city are intertwined in the likeness of melodic patterns. He began to experiment with this – listened, mingled in his imagination with something else. After discharge from the hospital, he went back to work,and began to experiment with a tape recorder. He put the microphone into the yard, wore it and recorded a variety of environmental sounds, but no rain, no thunder, etc. has been done, namely some echoes of flowing life. All this he was treated, mixed and reduced. The resulting soundscapes resulted in the end in a series of works called Ambient. So in the 70-ies, in the music coined the term Ambient. Definitely worth to distinguish between classical and electronic ambient. At least that has created Brain Eno rightly be considered a classic ambient.
If the ancestor used the noises of life around him and a bit of acoustic instrument sounds, modern ambient is crosnoe the use of electronics. If you hear a slow, calm and enveloping electronic music in the complete absence of rhythm, it is very likely it can be attributed to ambient music. Tagusa electronic passages can draw the melody. Noise soundscapes can complement the overall picture to create a special musical guest. Distant gurgling, scraps of phrases, researcii, all this is very often present in ambient music.
Someone who creates and develops this music these days, especially worth noting is the label Fax Records, which is headed by Pete Namlook (Pete Kuhlmann) . This label has gathered in its ranks quite a number of talented musicians involved are actually very different music. Pete Namlook almost done with all of them to make a joint album (Terre Thaemlitz, Geir Gennsen, Johan Sharp, Tetsu Inoue, Oliver Lieb, Richie Hawtin, Bill Laswell, Klaus Schulze, Steve Stoll), in addition to his solo, as well as a small number of solo albums of his colleagues on the label – Redeye, Tetsu Inoue, Daniel Pemberton, David Moufang, Robert Musso, Oscar Sala . The number of discs released by gets to 200, and it should be noted that all of them in one way or another deserve attention.

EU, UN Soften Language of Resolution on Beit Hanun Deaths
Original draft called for creation of 'international mechanism' to protect civilians in Gaza Strip.
European Union diplomats at the United Nations were busy yesterday with efforts to soften the language of a draft resolution on the deaths of at least 19 Palestinian civilians in an accidental IDF shelling of Beit Hanun last Wednesday. The resolution will be brought to a vote on Friday at an emergency session of the General Assembly.
The original text of the draft resolution, which was initiated by Arab states, includes an article calling for the creation of "an international mechanism" that will protect the civilian population in the Gaza Strip.
The draft resolution also calls on Secretary General Kofi Annan to send a "fact finding team" to Beit Hanun to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident that led to the deaths of Palestinian civilians.
Both these articles were included in the draft resolution initiated by Qatar and foiled by an American veto at a Security Council vote last week. The European diplomats are trying to make changes to the one-sided character of the resolution so that European Union countries can support it during the vote.
From Israel's point of view, an emergency gathering of the General Assembly whose declared intention is to bypass the Security Council, is a very grave development.
At the same time, senior Israeli diplomats at the UN made it clear yesterday that even if the Europeans did succeed in making changes to the current draft resolution, Israel would reject any such resolution that would be passed at an emergency session of the General Assembly.
"The draft is certainly extreme," a senior Israeli diplomat at the UN said yesterday.
However, the draft resolution is expected to pass with a large majority, in view of the fact that all Arab, Muslim and non-aligned countries automatically back resolutions supportive of the Palestinian cause.
In a previous emergency General Assembly vote held on 20 July, 2004 - on the separation fence and the opinion of the International Court of Justice on the issue - 150 member states voted in favor, six against and 10 abstained.

The first chapter of October Sky, by Homer Hickam Jr., describes in detail the narrator's early childhood. The topic is focused on the setting: Coalwood, where the narrator lives, his cjildhood spanning form the late 40's to the early 50's, and the history of the town and the narrator's family.
The first chapter is used to introduce the characters, in this case the narrator, his mother and father, his grandfather, and his friends. The chapter is also used to explain some of the setting ao that readers have some background information when the story begins.
The chapter ends with a cliffhanger, "It was only when I was in highschool and began to build rockets that I finally understood why." This cliffhanger urges readers to contiue on to the next chapter and encourages readers to make inferences on what is to come.
First chapter done.
Easy peasy.
I'm going to read the next chapter and try to get the summary done so I can get a treat tomorrow.
Just so that nobody thinks I am trying to cheat, I will admit that I did go the the store today. My dad took me to the Target eyeglasses doctor to get my new lenses checked because I had been having troubles. I picked out new frames to better suit me, and I will tell you now that it was not a pleasure trip. I need glasses to see better, and if I have problems, then seeing better won't be worth it. I will admit that after that I went shopping, but did not buy anything for myself.
After that, my dad bought me McDonalds for lunch. If anyone thinks that counts as a guilty plaeasure or a treat, then I will sacrifice tomorrows treat for reading two chapters, and I will not have a treat. Personally, I would like to say that it was for lunch, and I did not flat-out ask for fast food. We were at target and I said I was hungry, and my dad suggested Mickey-D's.
I know that this may not be the most interesting journal challenge for you guys to read, so I'm sorry if you think this is spam. I just want to find a way to motivate myself to get this done, and I get on DA alot, so it seemed that this would work. If you'll excuse me, i'm gonna finish chapter two andf then play Minecraft until I pass out.

Ya know, my husband picked up the movie because my son and I build rockets together and I never got around to watching it. I will be watching for your chapter 2 cliff notes.
Cool! Thanks for reading that, it's nice to see someone actually cares to read them. I'm going to watch the movie too, but I want to finish the book first so that I don't get things mixed up.
I got the ch2 notes up. They're long, I'm warning you.

text: Today, Standard & Poors downgraded their investment opinion on West Virinia Tracks due to the impending competition from PA Racinos How many days before the DELEWARE Tracks are downgraded?============================WHEELING -- Standard & Poor's Rating Services has downgraded the credit rating for Wheeling Island Gaming Inc. to a B+ with negative implications, citing imminent competition from slot machines at Pennsylvania racetracks.Bob Marshall, general manager of Wheeling Island Racetrack and Gaming Center, has long predicted his customer base will be eroded when Pennsylvania comes online."Sixty percent of our business resides in the Pittsburgh market, and they drive past The Meadows to get to us,'' he said Monday.For years, Marshall and other West Virginia casino executives have been pushing for table games to mitigate the impact, but so far, they have had little success with the Legislature.The Meadows, a harness racing track in Meadowlands, Pa., is about a 30-minute drive east of Wheeling. It's one of six Pennsylvania tracks seeking licensing under a 2-year-old law that allows 14 gambling parlors across the state to have slot machines.In February, Marshall warned Wheeling Island workers could be laid off once the track begins to feel the pinch of competition, though the timing and number of layoffs remains to be seen.Opening dates for some Pennsylvania properties, meanwhile, could be delayed by an ongoing dispute over the state's tax rate.The Pennsylvania Revenue Department recently said it planned to enforce a $10 million minimum municipal tax on slot machine revenues. That would likely be far larger than what the racetracks would owe under the 2 percent municipal tax rate that they say was intended by the law.Gambling regulators may award licenses by October to six racetracks, which were practically guaranteed casino licenses in the 2004 slots law. The other licenses may beissued as early as December.The Meadows and Presque Isle Downs, being built near Erie, Pa., by West Virginia-based MTR Gaming Group Inc., are both protesting the $10 million minimum tax.Privately held Wheeling Island Gaming has about 2,400 slot machines. It's owned by Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Delaware North Companies Inc.==============================LINK to article:http://www.dailymail.com/news/Business/2006071835/

text: I'm building up a new fixed gear bike and I am thinking about using a quick release rear wheel. With bolt on wheels, I can walk the wheel to get the proper tension and centering on the bike. I am wondering how difficult is getting the proper tension and centering with the quick release. Are there any tips to help with the tensioning?
