SEATTLE -- The Washington gymnastics team will head to Provo, Utah this weekend to close their three-week road streak against Brigham Young on Fri. March 7 at 6:00 p.m. PT at Smith Fieldhouse. Live stats will be available here and as always follow along with the team on twitter (@UWGymnastics) for the most up to the minute information.
After a disappointing start on bars, an injury for freshman all-arounder Janae Janik during warm-ups for rotation two and trouble through the remaining rotations for the Huskies, it became clear that the team needed to regroup this week in practice. Head coach Joanne Bowers is ready for the challenge.
"We were all just really disappointed in a lot of ways. We felt like we had an opportunity, we thought we were ready, thought we had a good week at practice. But it turned into one of those meets where we were thinking, 'what is going to happen next?'," Bowers said.
"Last week was hard, but we're not making excuses. We're at a place now where we are just going to go out and do what we know how to do. We are going to put our best foot forward at these last few meets and see where we can go with it."
In Provo this weekend, the Huskies will look to all-around staples Aliza Vaccher and Allison Northey to anchor the line-ups, with help from a new member to the all-around group; junior Jackie McCartin.
McCartin competed in her first collegiate all-around last weekend at Utah and took home second place and the "Most Valuable Gymnasts" award for UW. This week, she will likely be all-around again.
"Jackie has been showing great leadership qualities in and out of the gym with the team. I feel like she is gaining her confidence week-in and week-out. She's digging deep even on days when she is struggling in practice, she is finding a way to get it done," Bowers said.
BYU has scored a 195.000 or higher in each of its last three meets, most recently placing second with a 195.325 in a tri-meet at No. 8 Michigan, who won the meet with a 197.200. Kent State rounded out the match-up taking home third.
Next week the GymDawgs will return to Alaska Airlines Arena for senior night where they will take on No. 15 Oregon State and cross-town rival Seattle Pacific at 7:00 p.m. PT on Fri. March 14.
Projected Line-Ups:
1. Faith Morrison
2. Madison Podlucky
3. Allison Northey
4. Aliza Vaccher

Huisman successfully delivers 600mt Pedestal Crane "MPI Resolution"May 10, 2011
On Tuesday 8 March 2011, Huisman, the Dutch-based specialist in lifting, drilling and subsea solutions, successfully completed the load testing of the new build 600mt Pedestal Crane onboard Wind Turbine Installation Vessel "MPI Resolution". The load test was the final step before the crane was handed over to the clients Centrica Renewable Energy Ltd and MPI Offshore Limited.
The crane was constructed, installed, commissioned and tested at the Huisman facility in Schiedam, The Netherlands with the final load test taking place at the Keppel Verolme yard in Rozenburg, The Netherlands. The fact that the handover took place within 15 months after signing of the first agreement was a major achievement of all parties involved.
The 600mt Pedestal Crane is custom-designed for the installation of offshore wind turbines and derives from Huisman's many years of experience in the design, fabrication and service of heavy lifting equipment. The state-of-the-art crane combines unique technical features, such as a full electric variable frequency drive system, a low overall construction weight and a small minimum operating radius. Furthermore all the major equipment, such as hoist winches, is installed inside the enclosed crane house. This offers a good protection for the harsh marine environment.
With the new crane the MPI Resolution is prepared to handle larger wind turbine components for long term vessel charterer Centrica. The upgraded vessel is scheduled to be deployed for turbine installation operations upon the 270MW Lincs wind farm project.
Huisman has scheduled to deliver a second 600mt Pedestal Crane for another client in the fourth quarter of this year.

Stocks finished another volatile session narrowly mixed Friday, as gains in the energy, utilities and materials sectors offset some of Wall Street's angst over the fate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
The troubles of the financial sector dominated trading, as investors tried to glean insights into Lehman's race to sell itself or otherwise regain Wall Street's confidence. The company's shares have spiraled lower this week, heaping pressure on executives at the No. 4 U.S. investment bank to line up a buyer or source of fresh cash.
The Dow Jones industrials fell 11.72, or 0.10 percent, to 11,421.99, The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 2.65, or 0.21 percent, to 1,251.70, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 3.05, or 0.14 percent, 2,261.27.

Automatic Image Annotation (AIA) has been considered the state-of-the-art technique to annotate images with relevant keywords that enable efficient retrieval of these images. This paper discusses a simple multilabelling system that annotates a given image with certain relevant keywords. This technique uses bag of words model using SURF features for image representation. The annotation task uses a two-pass-KNN approach with modified ranking. The modified ranking takes into consideration the co-occurrence of the image labels. The system gives reasonable performance with Pascal VOC dataset, despite its simplicity. The relation between the predicted labels are obtained using a predefined ontology. 2014-11-16T18:30:00Z Establishing Security in Cheque Truncation System using Secret Image Sharing Santhosh Kumar, G http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/8917 2014-11-17T09:53:40Z 2014-11-14T18:30:00Z Title: Establishing Security in Cheque Truncation System using Secret Image Sharing Authors: Santhosh Kumar, G Abstract: Cheque Truncation is a cheque(in the form of image) clearing system to holding back the physical movement of cheque from presenting bank to the drawee bank. Electronic cheque image is transmitted to the drawee branch through the clearing house. In the existing system, the cheque is protected using public key infrastructure like digital signature which needs a lot of computation. In order to reduce the amount of computation and usage of keys, secret image sharing is used for protecting cheques in Cheque Truncation System (CTS). In this paper, cheque is shared among participants ( clearing house, drawee branch and user ) and authorised subset of participants can reconstruct the cheque. 2014-11-14T18:30:00Z An Improved E-Voting Scheme using Secret Sharing based Secure Multi-Party Computation Santhosh Kumar, G http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/8916 2014-11-17T09:54:45Z 2014-11-14T18:30:00Z Title: An Improved E-Voting Scheme using Secret Sharing based Secure Multi-Party Computation Authors: Santhosh Kumar, G Abstract: E-voting systems (EVS)are having potential advantages over many existing voting schemes. Security, transparency, accuracy and reliability are the major concern in these systems. EVS continues to grow as the technology advances. It is inexpensive and efficient as the resources become reusable. Fast and accurate computation of results with voter privacy is the added advantage. In the proposed system we make use of secret sharing technique and secure multi party computation (SMC) to achieve security and reliability. 2014-11-14T18:30:00Z A Framework of Statistical Machine Translator from English to Malayalam Santhosh Kumar, G Sebastian, Mary Priya Kurian, Sheena http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/7824 2014-01-06T09:30:45Z 2014-01-05T18:30:00Z Title: A Framework of Statistical Machine Translator from English to Malayalam Authors: Santhosh Kumar, G; Sebastian, Mary Priya; Kurian, Sheena Abstract: A methodology for translating text from English into the Dravidian language, Malayalam using statistical models is discussed in this paper. The translator utilizes a monolingual Malayalam corpus and a bilingual English/Malayalam corpus in the training phase and generates automatically the Malayalam translation of an unseen English sentence. Various techniques to improve the alignment model by incorporating the morphological inputs into the bilingual corpus are discussed. Removing the insignificant alignments from the sentence pairs by this approach has ensured better training results. Pre-processing techniques like suffix separation from the Malayalam corpus and stop word elimination from the bilingual corpus also proved to be effective in producing better alignments. Difficulties in translation process that arise due to the structural difference between the English Malayalam pair is resolved in the decoding phase by applying the order conversion rules. The handcrafted rules designed for the suffix separation process which can be used as a guideline in implementing suffix separation in Malayalam language are also presented in this paper. Experiments conducted on a sample corpus have generated reasonably good Malayalam translations and the results are verified with F measure, BLEU and WER evaluation metrics 2014-01-05T18:30:00Z

The image of the butterfly is a good example of metering with mixed light. The difference here is in the colors with the background being mostly green and the butterfly color brown. Metering on the butterfly makes this area 18% gray. But the background becomes brighter than the subject leaving it dark.
The camera meter is a reflective meter and it sees the colors between black and white as 18% gray. Measuring reflected light from the subject could cause problems because if the subject is predominantly white the meter sees it as 18% gray and sets the exposure to low producing a dark image. The opposite happens when the subject is predominantly dark in color.
Two metering choices are available, manual or auto. Choosing the spot meter in manual mode allows the photographer to choose where the meter reading is taken. When there are large bright areas in the image spot metering allows you to select the reflective surface to meter. Ignore the light areas and produce the correct exposure on the subject.
The auto program mode will allow the camera to pick the correct overall combination. However pattern, and matrix metering can be affected by values outside of the subject. Any exposure plus or minus 2 ½ stops in the image will cause them to be all white or black. These two metering modes will also average between the readings.
In this case the brown butterfly and the green background are close in tonal value. Pattern metering produced a good background but a darker butterfly. As a result the available light was to low for an acceptable shutter speed. TTL flash was added to fill in light on the butterfly and under the leaf. Adding the TTL flash to the image affected only the subject close to the camera and the background stayed the same. Please refer to "light balancing in nature photography".
The compact camera also has the backlight mode that in this case would compensate for the background being bright and the darker butterfly. The flash will automatically fire when the values are more than a stop.
The butterfly exposure is shutter speed 1/60 sec, aperture f/11.0, ISO 100, White balance flash, and pattern metering.

Hint: Defeating the first Boss:
First, get the key to open the door to the fighting
arena. After getting the key and opening the door, go inside and
wait for the Boss to appear. Next, watch were he throws the barrels,
and if they are in the correct location, shoot them back at him
using the buttons on the ground. Note: Watch out when the Boss
throws a lot of barrels -- you cannot shoot them back at him.
Also, watch out for the coconuts that fall a little while into
the fight.

We live in, among other things, a time dimension where one event follows another. Time passes, everything ages. Just as God created the universe and everything in it. God also created time. There was a beginning of everything, including space and time. Consequently, God is outside of a space and time. This means that God is unchanging ( Malachi 3:6; James 1:17). He had no beginning and has no ending. He is eternal. He sees the beginning and the end (Revelation 1:8, 21:6, 22:13). "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). At the end, John glimpsed the long- promised new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1).
The Bible is the most widely read book of all time. Within it, the most read page is probably the first page of Genesis. The first three words on that page, "In the beginning" are the best-known group of three words of all time. By reading the fourth word, one sees that God was there at the beginning. Another key insight comes from John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. This verse tells us who was there when time began. Verses 1, 2, 3, and 14 of John 1, tells us clearly that it was Jesus Christ.
The story of the Bible runs from creation to new creation, from the cradle of civilization to consummation of all things from Eden's garden to the new Jerusalem.
The last two chapters of the Bible (Revelation 21-22) are an amplified echo of the first two chapters of Genesis 1-2. In the final paragraphs of Revelation, the elder John sees a new heaven and a new earth, a holy city where God Himself dwells with humanity, a place where tears have evaporated and mourning is muted and pain has passed and death has died. A sparkling river flows from the throne room of God and fruit hangs ripe from trees of life on either side of the river (Revelation 22:1-5).
Time will be no more, eternity will begin. Amen!

Author: Western
Jim took a quick look around, then centered his attention on the woman. She was some looker, Jim thought. Probably half white and half Mexican by the look of her. There were only a few women in the area who would fit that description. The nearest was Layla Hernandes, from the Double X ranch. Her father was white and mother Mexican, if he remembered right.
The leader of the gang suddenly grabbed the back of the woman's dress and pulled. Her chest was laid bare. Her arms went across her beautiful breasts. With another yank she stood naked in the mid-day sun. Somehow she looked natural, all tanned and beautiful, stark naked in the middle of nowhere.
Jim started to rise, when he felt the tip of a rifle touch his left ear. His pistol was yanked from his holster. He raised his hands, mustered a smile and turned to face his captor. "Compadre," he said genially.
"I don't know you," the dirty man said. He was missing a front tooth. His hair was long and uncurried. The poncho he wore was made from an old Indian blanket. The only clean thing about him was the rifle in his hands, and the sparkling cartridges in his gun belt. A bone handled revolver, probably stolen, protruded from a hand-tooled holster. A pair of California spurs were tied together and resting over his right shoulder. That explained the lack of noise, he thought, looking down at the man's boots.
"Compadre, we are on the same side. I was just about to go down and see if your friends would allow me to join them," Jim lied.
"Go now," the man signaled with the tip of his rifle. Jim started down. The men stopped, suddenly wary. They looked around, then looked back at Jim. Jim knew how a Sunday chicken felt, he was about to be roasted.
"This man says he wants to play," the dirty man spoke in a loud voice. The woman gasped and turned, a look of hope filling her face. She stared around at the hilltops, with her arms covering her nakedness. A look of disappointment filled her eyes as she looked back at Jim.
"Why are you here, gringo," the leader of the men asked, pulling his knife as he advanced. "For her," Jim snorted. "I've never seen such a beautiful woman. Hell, I'd give up half my gold for an hour with her."
"Gold?" the man's interest peeked. "What gold?" he asked in a deceptively mild voice. "The Army shipment. You must have heard about it, it was in all the papers," he said, knowing the man probably could not read, but would never admit it. "I got away with nearly a ton of gold." "A ton," the man's eyes bugged out. "Where?"
"Seven days south of here, in a box canyon. It's in a little dugout that I made myself. Damned good job too, you could never find it unless you knew where it was. Hey, can I dally with her?" he asked, faking impatience.
"Maybe," the man said, waving the knife in front of his face. "First tell me more about the gold," he said. His greedy eyes flashed from one of his companions to the others. A slight smile crossed his face. "We were going to ransom this woman," he laughed, "but for a ton of gold we could kill her and forget about the ransom."
"Kill her!" Jim said in alarm. "No, I want her." "very well, but you will be last," he said, tossing the knife into the ground. He bent and picked it up. Two halves of a scorpion lay kicking in the dirt. Jim swallowed and tried to smile.
"Amigos, hold her," the leader said. They dragged her back to the blanket, which someone had laid out on the ground. She screamed and kicked at them, but they only laughed. Jim was prodded forward by the rifle. He hurried forward, his eyes glued to her darkly furred pussy, centered between some of the prettiest legs he had ever seen. She saw him looking and glared, then spat. He smiled and sat cross legged next to the blanket. He dodged as her bare foot tried to smash into his face, barely missing his nose.
He grabbed the foot, kissed it tenderly, then let go and dodged a second kick. "Hold that foot," the leader said to Jim as he undid his pants. Jim grabbed twice before he held the struggling foot in his hands. Her pussy was absolutely delectable. Her breasts jiggled as she struggled between the five men. Her pussy was open and pink. Jim licked his lips and sighed. He had a long wait before his turn came around.
"She's going to like this," the leader said as he pushed down his pants. "I had a calf when I was young, he made me the man I am today," the man howled, holding out a ten inch long cock. He wagged it, eliciting howls of laughter from his men. Layla stopped and gasped at the huge cock, before she remembered to struggle again. She seemed to struggle far less as he knelt between her legs, positioned the pointed end of his cock and shoved. She screamed as he penetrated her inviting pussy. With a moan of pleasure he began pumping in and out of her helpless mound. Jim watched, awestruck. He no longer needed to hold the foot, she had stopped struggling. In a moment she was moaning along with the leader. He pumped savagely, slamming his ten inches of meat into her quivering flesh. And she arched up off the ground and pushed to meet him with each stroke. The man had been right, she was enjoying it.
"Wait, let me join in," one of the other men said. He held up a hand and the leader stopped pumping. He pulled out and the other man rolled Layla over on her side. With her knees drawn up to her chin, her pussy and ass lay open, inviting. [-split-] Jim's cock was rock hard. If he didn't worry about her biting it off, he might of had her suck his cock. But he was too smart for that. The leader held her legs up in front of her as she lay on her side. He slid closer and entered her moist pussy from in front. The second man, now pantsless, slid up behind her. His cock fenced with the leader's for a moment, getting it well lubricated, before he pressed it against the entrance to her ass. Jim could see her pause and look back, waiting to see how the combination felt. She didn't have long to wait. The man's lubricated cock slid easily into her ass. She cried out a little, then bucked between them. The leader reached out and mashed the woman's breasts in his hands. He again marveled at her beauty, even though her face was twisted in bliss.
Jim was dying from restrained lust. His cock was leaking in his pants. He could feel a cold wet spot in the front. He looked forlornly at the three men still waiting. How could he survive such a long wait?
The leader began panting loudly, intensifying his attack. It was only a moment before he groaned and shuddered. His cock emptied it's contents into Layla's wet pussy. She looked disappointed, but the next man stepped up. His cock was only about 6 inches long, but she didn't care, as long as somebody fucked her.
The man behind her was working furiously. The faster he pumped into her ass, the hotter the friction, and the pleasure, grew. In three minutes he cried out and stiffened. His crotch smashed into the woman's ass as he orgasmed. She pushed her slender ass back to meet him, then cried out in disappointment when he pulled out. A streamer of cum glistened between her ass and the ground.
The next man slid closer, used a dirty bandanna to wipe her shapely ass, and thrust his cock inside her.
"Oh yes," she cried, feeling full and contented as the two cocks pumped away in her bottom. She looked back and locked eyes with Jim. The man fucking her pussy groaned and pumped faster. The slap of naked flesh was loud and erotic. Layla's eyes clouded over, but she continued to gaze at Jim.
"I think she likes you," the leader teased. "She's very beautiful," Jim said simply.
"She is," the leader agreed. And don't worry, you are next. The breed doesn't like women. In fact, he doesn't like anybody," the man laughed pointing at the dirty man behind Jim. He looked back to see how the breed was taking such ribbing. Either the leader was very fast with a gun, or well liked by his men. The breed colored, but said nothing. He scuffed his foot and turned away. Jim looked around quickly, assessing the situation. The leader had no pants, and no gun. The second man lay next to the blanket, still recovering as he watched his friends fuck the beautiful woman. The breed was sulking and paying no attention to anybody. Suddenly Jim acted. He leaped to his feet and pulled the rifle out of the breed's hands. The breed went for his pistol, but it was tied down. Jim shot him long before he yanked it free.
Jim spun around. The leader, in the act of reaching for his gun, froze. The men fucking Layla lay still. He had them cold. He glanced at Layla and saw the look of desperation in her eyes. "Finish fucking her," Jim said, letting the rifle hang from his elbow. She gasped out in sudden hope, then moaned as the men continued their actions. It took them all only a moment to cum. Layla screamed loud enough to be heard in El Paso... well almost.
She shuddered between the two men as they emptied their cum in the appropriate crevices. She finally pushed them away and stood. She took a canteen and moved away from the men. Spreading her legs, she washed her pussy and ass with handfuls of water. The men watched, giving her their full attention.
"Well?" she asked, looking at Jim. "Well what?" "It's your turn," she said impatiently. "I'm not here to rape you, I came to rescue you." "Shit," she said, stomping her foot in disappointment. Her breasts jiggled on her chest, causing the men to groan in restrained passion.
"There was no gold," the leader said with a sheepish grin. "No, no gold," Jim admitted. "Now I want you men to get dressed, but leave the guns were they are. I'm taking them with me. I'm going to scatter your horses, you can chase them down later. "Layla, can you saddle my horse, it's about 100 yards behind us." "Sure," she said in obvious disappointment. "You are not going to turn us in?" the leader asked with a sly smile. "After the show you put on. Hell no," Jim laughed. "Gracious," the man said. Come on boys, let's take a walk," he said, leading the way toward the south. "We'll meet again some other time," the leader called.
"And welcome," Jim called. He turned and looked at the body. It was up to him to give it a burial. He kicked dirt over the body. Five minutes later Layla led his horse into the clearing. He picked up several rocks and threw them at the horses. They took off toward the north. "What now?" Layla asked, gazing forlornly at the retreating men. "Now? Now I am going to take you to a little cabin up in those mountains. We are going to fish, hunt and fuck to our heart's content."
"Are we?" she asked in sudden interest. "We are," he slapped the reins over his horses ass. "Hey, you didn't have a calf..." she trailed off in sudden embarrassment. "Some of us don't need one, Layla," he smiled as they rode away.

I just upgraded Ubuntu from 12.10 to 13.04 today. Everything went smooth until after reboot,and now at the grub menu. If I picked the first option (which says Ubuntu) it goes to a blank screen with a lot of scrolling text and then simply stops on:
I've read that many people have had a similar problem with fresh boot to 13.04: Ubuntu 13.04 won't boot after grub || Upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04 Problem - Boots into Blank Black Screen
I used these to get Ubuntu backup and working by going to advance Ubuntu options and booted into the first one. But, this is a workaround and not a fix those links offer more technical suggestions, but those are beyond my ability to comprehend. So my question is: How to fix the default Ubuntu option in grub so that it doesn't display the wall of scrolling text and freeze?

must bring birthday gift
Just wrong. Defriend immediately.
Super Mom to 4 Super Heroes!
Someone I know is hosting his own b-day party, and included on the invite that he would like cash donations toward a business he's starting, and also, could we all please sign up to bring food because it's a potluck. I declined the invitation.
I can't imagine why. It sounds lovely.
How about "rubertacky" as a descriptor? Rude+uber+tacky

Oh and btw OP I like your screen name.

So extremely tacky.
On my kids' invites I always include "No gift required". Because, you know, I know what it's like to be broke as shit and I try not to be a douchenozzle.
Blame it on my ADD, baby!
No, really. I have ADD. My brain moves faster than my eyes and fingers. My bad.
I was taught that you never mention gifts, EVER, on an invitation, and I follow that rule like it's my religion. I don't even include those pre-made shower registry cards you get from the store in my invitations. If you want to know where I registered, you have to call my mom/sisters and ask. Because if you ask me, I'll just say, "Please don't trouble yourself. Your presence is enough at my party."
Your friend is tack-tastic. Someone needs to do her a favor and inform of her massive breech of etiquette before she irreparably embarrasses herself.
"Itchy" 8/02 (Eleven anaphylactic food allergies) "Twitchy" 5/04 (Tourettes & ADD)
She. Does. Not. Exist.
SO TACKY! I think this is even worse, I once got an invite for a kids party (not that it matters) I don't remember how they worded it exactly but asked you to gift money only. I think they are both tacky and refuse to ever put my sons sizing on invitations.
Proud parents to a wonderful little boy, 11.2008.
Just an update to my post above - the gentleman in question just sent out an email thanking everyone for attending (even though I didn't) and asking for more money.
So, OP, if you don't go to the party, expect a thank you email telling you how great the party was, and that you STILL owe them a gift.

Y! Are There So Many Y!s?
By Kaitlyn Kiernan
Yelp! Yum! Yahoo! Oh my!
There must be something about the letter Y that leads to over exuberance that necessitates the use of an exclamation point to highlight a company's level of excitement.
Yelp becomes the third publicly listed company with an exclamation point in its name. Coincidentally, the other two — Yahoo and Yum Brands — also begin with a Y.
Unfortunately, that exclamation-point kinship does not extend far enough to give Yahoo and Yum shares tag-along gains.
Both are off slightly today, as is the broader market, while Yelp has surged 64% after pricing above expectations.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – There will be no sharing of the Pac-12 regular-season title this year, as the Cardinal proved that reports of the demise of its hold on the Pac-12 were greatly exaggerated in Sunday's 65-56 win at UCLA which clinched the outright conference crown.
Chiney Ogwumike posted her 20th double-double of the season with 26 points and 15 rebounds, while Mikaela Ruef grabbed 11 boards and Amber Orrange scored 13 points to help the Cardinal (26-2, 15-1 Pac-12) overcome a cold start Sunday. For Ogwumike and Ruef, it marked the 10th time this season that each player had grabbed at least 10 rebounds in a game, as the pair combined for 26 of Stanford's 41 rebounds.
Stanford took the lead for good at 27-25 on a pair of Ogwumike free throws with a minute left in the first half, and with the lead holding at two at 40-38 with 13:50 to go in the game, the Cardinal used a 16-4 run over the next five minutes to open a 14-point cushion at 56-42.
Ruef converted a three-point play with 11:22 to go to spur the run while Ogwumike added one of her own to get the Cardinal lead to 12 at 54-42 with 9:01 remaining. UCLA (12-16, 6-10 Pac-12) would get it to within seven at 56-49 with 6:48 to play but that would be as close as the Bruins got.
Ogwumike scored five of Stanford's remaining nine points to help seal the win.
UCLA led for much of the opening half thanks to Nirra Fields, who scored 11 of the first 15 Bruin points and went for 13 in the half. She went on to lead the Bruins with 24 points in the game.Stanford trailed 23-18 with 6:43 to go in the half after a jumper from UCLA's Atonye Nyingifa, but Orrange would net a bucket followed by Bonnie Samuelson's triple, fueling Stanford's 11-2 half-ending run to give the Cadinal a 29-25 lead at the break.

Halloween is the time when things go bump in the night, costumed children go looking for tasty treats from friendly neighbors... and scary frightening things creep around in the dark.
One of the darkest places to find frightening creatures this time of year can be inside a movie theater or at historic Salem, Massachusetts. So, what scary entities do these two very different locales have in common ?
... why, witches of course.
Since the infamous Salem Witch Trials during colonial times, the topic of witches has provided ripe fodder for an imaginative screenwriter's creativity. While the green Wicked Witch of the West may be Hollywood's most iconic image of witchcraft as she menaced innocent Dorothy Gale and Toto: numerous films have depicted the image of the witch in varying ways. Some wickedly evil. Others more benevolent, misunderstood and a few, even lonely and lovelorn.
Boston Movie Examiner Tim Estiloz offers this video look at just a few of the witches that have cast their rivetingly mysterious spell over movie audiences over the years.

Classic Pitching Duel: PCC's Whitaker Edged by IVC's Fitzgerald, 1-0
With his deepest pitching staff in his seven seasons at Pasadena City College, head baseball coach Evan O'Meara knows its too early to anoint a pitching ace out of the bunch. On Tuesday, freshman right-hander David Whitaker jumped out to the front of the pack. Whitaker pitched brilliantly in a duel with Irvine Valley's Cody Fitzgerald, but came up on the short end in a tough, 1-0 loss to the host Lasers.
Both starters hurled 5-hitters and neither walked a batter as the game ended in a swift one hour, 51 minutes. Whitaker threw just 77 pitches in his eight innings of work. A Crescenta Valley High product, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound Whitaker surrendered the game's only offense in the bottom of the seventh inning, hurt by a passed ball by PCC catcher Jason Clark.
With a runner on second base, Whitaker appeared to record the second out on a strikeout but the ball got away from Clark creating a first-and-third situation. The next batter, Brian Glynn, hit into a 1-5 fielder's choice, scoring the unearned run.
PCC lost its fourth straight game and its record fell to 2-5. Irvine Valley is 5-2.
"David threw a masterpiece," O'Meara said. "That was a well-played baseball game and I'm proud of our players. We faced a very good Orange Empire Conference team and battled. We've already had some pretty outstanding pitching performances. That's an encouraging sign after we didn't receive much from the mound last year."
Wilkinson Achieves Two Rare Plays
The Lancers were swept in their three games in San Diego County, losing to Grossmont, 12-4, San Diego City, 13-4, and Southwestern, 10-4. Despite the defeats, PCC sophomore centerfielder Kyle Wilkinson achieved two unlikely offensive plays---an inside-the-park home run and a stolen base of home.
Against Grossmont Feb. 11, Wilkinson reached base on a hit-by-pitch and was advanced to third. With two outs, Wilkinson timed his jump and bolted down the line and head-first a slide into home in beating a pitch by Zach Pettiford for the rare run-scoring stolen base.
In the third inning of the SD City game, Wilkinson again used his speed as he hit a ball into the right-center gap and stormed around the bases for the inside-the-park dinger. It is PCC's only home run after seven games.
Lefty Jimmy Britt struck out the side in his collegiate debut, relieving in the eighth inning of the Southwestern loss. Letterman first baseman Jose Serna leads the Lancers thus far with a .346 batting average. Whitaker has a 2.76 ERA in 16-1/3 innings to pace the pitchers.

As of March 1, four out of five uninsured Americans who are eligible for premium tax credits have not enrolled in an exchange plan, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) report released today, March 27. This report follows a KFF March survey that found 40 percent of uninsured Americans were unaware of the availability of financial help with premium payments for those with low and moderate incomes.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides tax credits that may be applied against premium costs for households with incomes up to 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level — $45,960 annual income for singles, $94,200 for a family of four. KFF's analysis of federal enrollment data through March 1 reveals that 3.5 million Americans have qualified for, and used, a per-person average tax credit of $2,890.
As of March 17, 5 million people have enrolled in a health plan through the health insurance exchanges, approximately 2 million less than the Congressional Budget Office projected enrollment levels for the first enrollment period. Authors of the KFF study estimate that if all states had enrollment rates equal to the five states— Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, California and Washington — that have had most success with enrollments, an additional 3.1 million would qualify for the premium tax credits.
Open enrollment closes Monday, March 31. The administration announced on March 25 that anyone who has begun the process of enrolling at the Healthcare.gov website prior to the deadline would be allowed to complete the enrollment process into April.
The enrollment period for 2015 opens Nov. 15. Special enrollment periods are allowed for those who experience a life change such as loss of a job, a marriage or divorce or the birth of a child. Individuals eligible for Medicaid or CHIP may enroll at any time throughout the year.

The honors continued to pile up for Idaho senior men's basketball player Stephen Madison this Sunday as Madison was recognized for his outstanding season with first-team all-Western Athletic Conference honors following a 2013-2014 campaign that saw him receive the "Player of the Week" honor from the WAC a record setting five times.
Leading the league in scoring and landing fourth among his peers in rebounding, Madison averaged 19.9 points and 7.6 rebounds a game for the Vandals this season. Madison also found himself ranked in the league's top 15 in field goal percentage (ranked 10th at 48%), assists (ranked 13th at 2.45 per game), and free throw percentage (ranked 11th at 74.4%).
While Madison's overall numbers are impressive, his totals in conference play are just as remarkable. His 21.9 points per game led the WAC, while he ranked seventh in steals, 12th in field goal percentage, 13th in free throw percentage, and fifth in rebounding.
The most notable game of the season for Madison may have been his career high 42 points scored in Idaho's 89-88 loss to Utah Valley this past February. His 42 points were the most scored by a WAC player in a game this season and places him third on Idaho's list of most points in a single game in program history. Scoring wasn't an issue this year for the senior as Madison's season included 14 games of scoring 20 or more points.
Madison, a native of Portland, Ore, will finish his career as the all-time leader in games played at Idaho (126 and counting) and could finish as high as second in school history in career points. Sitting at four among the top point scorers at 1,556, Madison would need 15 points to pass Kenny Luckett (85-88) for third and 30 to pass Brian Kellerman (80-85) for second. Along with his pure scoring, Madison ranks 10th in career rebounds with 619. On a season level, his 242 free throws attempted and 180 free throws made are already season records for the Vandals. His 616 points this season are the fifth on the program's single-season high list, with the potential of moving higher if Idaho was to have a successful post-season.
Joining Madison on the all-WAC first team is Utah Valley's Ben Aird and Holton Hunsaker, Grand Canyon's Killian Larson, and New Mexico State's Daniel Mullings. Mullings was also announced as WAC Player of the Year on Sunday, an award voted on by the conference's head coaches.
The all-WAC second team consisted of Chicago State's Quinton Pippen, Grand Canyon's Jerome Garrison, NMSU's Tshilidzi Nephawe, Bakersfield's Issiah Grayson, and Isiah Umipig of Seattle U. Other honors included Utah Valley's coach Dick Hunsaker being named WAC Coach of the Year and Kansas City's Martez Harrison was recognized as the WAC Freshman of the Year.
Tournament play for the WAC begins on Mar. 13 in Las Vegas, Nev. at the Orleans Arena. The Vandals, who are the fifth seed, will take on fourth seeded the University of Missouri-Kansas City in the quarterfinals. Idaho is 1-1 this season against UMKC, with the Vandals winning the last meeting 87-80 this past weekend.
The Vandals haven't won a WAC tournament game since joining the WAC in 2005.

Michael Muhney is gone from "Young and the Restless" but it has been revealed that his character Adam Newman is not. On March 19, Celeb Dirty Laundry was able to confirm that they haven't hired an actor to play the role yet despite rumors.
There are a lot of rumors about who will play Adam Newman. One name that has been thrown around a lot is Trevor St. John. Now an insider is confirming that this is not true at all and he will not be the one joining the show. They haven't even picked out an actor yet who will be take over the role.
At this time, "Y&R" is still looking for the perfect person for the role of Adam Newman. Fans of Michael Muhney say that they will not watch the show no matter who takes on the role unless they bring Michael back but that doesn't sound like it will ever happen. He might not even want to go back to the show if they offered it to him.

Tackling drug use in our community
A couple of months ago the Victorian Government became the first state government to fund an LGBTI focused alcohol and drug service. From September 1, VAC (Victorian AIDS Council) has been providing alcohol and drug counselling and case management from sites in South Yarra, Fitzroy and Coburg. Although it's only a small service at this stage, when combined with the HEY (Healthy, Equal, Youth) grants, this is the first time a Victorian Government has funded LGBTI health services that are not related to HIV or sexual health.
One of the areas for action discussed in the VAC and Living Positive Victoria's joint election platform is tackling drug use in our community, particularly among gay men. There are lots of myths about how queer communities use drugs and the risks we take. All the way back to the 'Tasty Raid', people were talking about how we use drugs. Strangely, as a community we don't talk about it much ourselves, except to reinforce the myths. Drug use is more normalised in our community and, for many, continues to be a rite of passage into 'the scene'. We use drugs differently to the rest of society. This is why we need our own alcohol and drug services. Mainstream services are less likely to understand the role of the scene in queer life and the peer pressures associated with use.
There is scant reliable evidence about how our community uses drugs, but we do know a few things. There is evidence to suggest that GLBTI communities use alcohol and other drugs at higher rates than the general community and are less likely to abstain from alcohol and/or drug use. Alcohol is our drug of choice: both men who have sex men (MSM) and same-sex attracted women are consuming more alcohol than the general community. In MSM, this has been associated with issues such as depression and in same-sex attracted women we have seen higher rates of alcohol use disorders, such as dependence. With higher rates of alcohol use, there are also higher rates of other issues such as violence, relationship problems, drink driving and health concerns.
Methamphetamine (Ice or Crystal) use is significantly higher among gay men than the general community. Some studies have suggested rates are as much as four times higher, and this figure rises with age. The potential for harm with illegal drugs increases in part due to their illegality and in part due to the way we use these drugs. When using drugs like methamphetamine or GHB, the goal, most likely, is to be intoxicated. We don't always use alcohol to get drunk. When we are intoxicated, though, we are more likely to take risks – such as sexual risks or driving under the influence.
Funding an LGBTI specific service is the first step to tackling these issues in our community. As our election platform states, we also need targeted harm reduction campaigns that are believable to our community. We need research that helps separate the myths from the facts. Much of what little research exists is about MSM. We need more information about how the broader gender and sexually diverse community uses drugs in order to be able to provide relevant services to them.
Alcohol and drug services aren't just for those who have hit rock bottom. They are for anyone who is concerned about their own, or a loved one's, drug use. If you're not sure, give us a call and have a chat.
To access VAC's Alcohol and Other Drug service call 1800 906 669 or (03) 9690 9390.

Stand-alone dental and vision plans: employee access and participation by establishment size
November 02, 2009
Some employers—especially those in large establishments—offer "stand-alone" dental and vision plans in their health care benefits packages. If a stand-alone dental or vision plan exists, it is likely that some employees will participate in this plan but not in the medical plan.
A common reason that employees make this choice is that they can be covered under their spouses' medical plan, but their spouses do not have a dental or vision plan.
In small establishments (1 to 49 employees), 18 percent of employees have access to stand-alone dental plans, and 14 percent participate in such plans. In large establishments (500 or more employees), 50 percent of employees have access to stand-alone dental plans, and 42 percent participate in those plans.
Stand-alone vision plans are offered to just 4 percent of employees in small establishments, with 3 percent participating. In large establishments, 19 percent of employees have access to stand-alone vision plans, and 16 percent participate.
These data are from the National Compensation Survey. A stand-alone plan is one that offers only dental or vision care, as opposed to a plan in which these benefits are included in a comprehensive medical care plan. To learn more, see "The New Health Participation and Access Data from the National Compensation Survey" in Compensation and Working Conditions Online, October 2009.

Images link to enlarged images in a new window, but not to further discussion. If you click on an
to enlarge it and nothing seems to happen, look for it in a window
open underneath (use the task bar).
First is
an unusual good-silver imitation, followed by the more-common fourreés and then casts.
18-17mm. 6:00. 3.01 grams.
Good-silver imitation, crude bust style, cited in RSC 51 as "ancient forgery? Hybird, reverseof Septimius." Clearly this example is an ancient imitation -- but possibly not for profit because the silver looks as good as the official issues.
/FELICIT-AS AVGG, Felicitas standing left, holidng cadeuceus on long staff, and cornucopia
BMC page 170 lists the legend among "doubtful denarius" types. See plate 30 for Caracalla, BMC (S&C) 161, p. 186 "199-201".
19 mm. 5:30. 3.12 grams.
Hybrid of not-quite official style.
The obverse legend exists only under Cacacalla's sole reign (211-217), but the reverse belongs to the period 196-211.
/FORTVNAE FELICI, Felicitas standing left holding cornucopiae, resting left on rudder
Sear 1837 var. RIC -- but 552 has this reverse with IVLIA AVGVSTA, page 167, plate 9.5 "196-211"
BMC (S&C) reverse of 24, plate 27.12 (3.62 grams).
Under microscopic examination the surface shows a very thin layer of silver over copper -- but not the appearance of a foil sheet. The surface seems different from that of a typical Republican silver-plated denarius.
Next, fourreés, then
Fourrés are struck from dies engraved by forgers. The face is always the hardest thing to draw, and you can see that the engravers had a hard time getting the face of Julia Domna right. Compare the next several fourrés to the casts that follow. Because casts were of casts from official coins, the style of cast imitations is usually perfect and certainly much better than most fourrés.
19 mm. 6:00. 3.00 grams.
A stern Julia Domna fourré. Althought the engraving is good, it does not duplicate official style.
IVLIA AVGSTA [sic, the second "V" of "AVGVSTA" was not engraved]
This is a hybrid. The obverse is common for Julia Domna, but the reverse belongs to Septimius Severus, BMC (S&C) 562, plate 42.4, AD 208.
Many fourrés are hybids that use obverse and reverse types that were never officially matched.
19 mm. 6:00. 2.71 grams.
A fourré with a vapid portrait and uninspired reverse engraving. Compare the reverse to the next piece.
/PVDI - CITIA, Pudicitia seated left.
Prototype: Sear 1848. BMC (S&C) 74, page 166, plate 28.17 of Rome. There are similar eastern types but this style is western.
17 mm. 6:00. 2.55 grams.
Boldly engraved. The reverse is in excellent style.
/PVDICTIA [as the previous coin, but much better engraved]
Prototype: Sear 1848. BMC (S&C) 74, page 166, plate 28.17 of Rome. There are similar eastern types but this style is western. Hill 1165 or 1298 (both 211). 1165 has the correct obverse legend, but not the sceptre, and 1298 is vice versa.
18 mm. 6:00. 2.64 grams.
Good, but not quite official, style. Much plating gone.
/FELICITAS TEMPOR, Felicitas holding cadeuceus
Protypes: Hybrid with reverse of Geta, BMC 683, plate 45.1, AD198-200, eastern mint.
18 mm. 5:30. 2.88 grams.
Extremely thin silvering on a coinn of excellent style. I wonder if this is not a fourré, rather a cast which was then somehow silvered. The style is almost too good for a fourré.
/seated female left (in good style, but too corroded to identify the legend)
This obverse legend was used for Julia Domna under Caracalla.
18 mm. 6:00. 2.95 grams.
A bold, but cruder portrait.
/FELICITAS, Felicitas standing left with cadeuceus
Prototype: RSC 47. BMC (S&C) 22, page 160, plate 27.11, AD 198-209.
Cast imitations:
Imitation: Cast, no traces of silvering. 18-16 mm. 6:00. 2.60 grams. Prototype: AR20. 6:00. 3.45 grams.
Unusually brassy. Most casts are in base gray metal, as are the following pieces.
/PIETAS AVGG, Pietas standing left, sacrificing at altar
References: Prototype is Sear (old) 1846. RIC (SS) 572, plate 9.8 "196-211". BMC (S&C) 62, "196-211" plate 28.13.
I don't know what the counterfeiters did to make a cast piece like this have a silver surface that could be deceptive. It cannot properly be called the core of a fourré because it was not struck with silver plating.
19 mm. 6:00. 3.03 grams.
Gray metal. Note the weakness which is typical of casts. They rarely are bold. They cannot have more depth of relief than the coins they are cast from, and they lose details in the process. Constrast this with fourrés, which are often as bold as the originals.
/IVNO, Juno standing with peacock at feet.
Prototype: BMC (S) 38-39 page 162, plate 27.19, AD 198-209.

Another dark metal cast. Note the official style, which is typical of casts.
Prototype: RIC 576, page 170. BMC 613-616, page 278, "Eastern mint," plate 43.4. Also BMC 72-74 at Rome. Plates 28.16 and 28.17 have fewer hair ridges. 28.17 is called "base?" for being 2.49 grams.
The same type was issued at Rome, but is "R2" there according to Hill #701.
17-15 mm. 6:00. 3.07 grams.
A small cast. Casts are usually slightly smaller in diameter than the originals used to make the molds. Howeve, thickness is nto easily controlled in casting because the two halves of the mold may not fully meet.
Type as above, but possibly the wetern style.
19 mm. 12:00. 2.60 grams.
Gary metal. The bright copper is on the surface and is not below the surface. This is a cast and not a fourré. The reverse shows a very thin shiny lighter covering, possibly intended to imitate silver, but no longer effective.

Some Antibiotics Bounced
yesterday I blogged about the problems surrounding America's freewheeling love affair with antibiotics and now, according to the Associated Press, the FDA has restricted an antibiotic linked to reports of severe liver problems. Have a look:
The Food and Drug Administration said the antibiotic, Ketek, would remain on the market but that its label will bear a new, stern warning. The agency said it and manufacturer Sanofi-Aventis SA also created a guide for patients outlining the drug's risks and its safe use…
… A new so-called "black-box" warning on the Ketek label states the drug should not be used in patients with myasthenia gravis, a disease that can cause life-threatening muscle weakness, the FDA said. The label also now warns about cases of visual disturbances and loss of consciousness reported in some patients.

Choosing the Proper Research Paper Titles
Nomen est omen, says a famous Latin proverb, meaning "the name predicts the fate". If it works with human names, can it be valid for the research paper titles? In any case, giving a title to a research paper is of no lesser importance than writing the paper itself.
Not only do the research paper titles convey information about the work, but also attracts the attention of the reader. Therefore, in order to prevent your writing from being archived on dusty shelves it is extremely important to choose a catchy and informative title for the research paper.
Research Paper Title: What Is It Like?
Sometimes the title of a research paper is designed far before it is written. In case your situation is different, you can think of several points to cover:
How long? The basic rule is that the title of a research paper should not be too long; in general, if the title is a complex sentence, the reader should not be bored by reading it. However, the short names consisting of two or three words are also inappropriate, as the style is not publicistic.
What style? Essentially, research paper is a serious piece of writing, and the title of a research paper should also be serious enough. That is why formal language is mainly used.
What should it contain? A research paper title is a short representation of the main idea of the work. Yet it should not be confused with the thesis statement: this one is better not to be revealed from the very beginning.
How to make it attractive? Catching the reader's interest is a quality of paramount importance for research paper titles. To achieve this, several strategies can be applied:
- Use questions. Questions involve the readers in conversation with the authors. Therefore, it can be useful to include some short questions in the research paper titles.
- Giving quotations. Even the most boring research paper title can be improved by a relevant quotation given below it. Express the idea of your work with the words of a famous person, and your work will be destined to be successful.
- Subdivision. If your research paper title is rather long, you can subdivide it into smaller parts. It can be done with the help of different punctuation marks, which can break a long sentence into several intonation groups.
Choosing a title for a research paper is an important part of the work, which cannot be underestimated. It should match the work just like a head completes the body. After all, your research paper is a result of your labor, and it is of your interest to give it a proper name. That is why try to take into consideration the mentioned points while choosing a title for your research paper.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
"The board of directors lost confidence that McMillan was capable of supervising the financial condition and the staff. He was put on administrative leave because he had a 60-day notice in his contract," Board Chairman Dugie Freeman said after the board's Tuesday meeting.
Troy, who was introduced at the meeting, will receive "full CEO privileges," Freeman said.
Troy will serve until a new permanent CEO is hired, but Freeman did not know how long that will take. Previously, Troy served as a consultant and then the district's interim CEO prior to McMillan.
Troy said he was hired by the district as a consultant to plan an imaging facility in Brookings in 2005. After studying the project, he said he advised against building it.
A year later the directors hired Troy as interim CEO for six months before McMillan was hired.
"When Dugie called, I felt like it was homecoming," Troy said Tuesday.
The board has yet to determine Troy's salary.
McMillan, who was paid a salary of $149,000 a year, said he had provisions in his contract that require a 60-day notice and six months' severance pay if his contract was not renewed.
The board started to work on a contract for Troy on Tuesday but realized it was not on their agenda for the meeting and it needed to be there for them to act.
Troy offered to draft a proposed contract and present it to board members later for their input. He said he expected to serve on the interim basis for only a short time before a permanent CEO is hired.
Troy received a bachelor's degree from Seattle University and a master's from St. Louis University in hospital administration.
He spent four years as a regular Army officer before becoming an administrator at several hospitals, finally retiring in 2004 from Grays Harbor Community Hospital in Aberdeen, Wash.
The board two weeks ago told McMillan they were considering hiring their consultant, Quorum Health Resources, to manage the district and not renew his contract, which had expired months before but continued in effect.
But board members said they had taken no vote.
The next day, McMillan announced the board had chosen to have Quorum Health Resources manage the hospital.
"As the result of that, I'm stepping down from my position," McMillan said. "I wish the board, hospital and staff good luck."
The health district was told by its auditors last October that it had lost a substantial amount of money during the past two fiscal years, which could endanger the district's ability to stay in business.
The audit showed that the hospital district reported an operating loss of $1,132,000 in the last fiscal year, although CFO Mark Sayler noted that with the property tax collected by the district, that is reduced to $936,000. The loss in Fiscal Year 2010 was $552,000.
The district, which operates Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach, Curry Medical Center in Brookings and Curry Family Medical in Port Orford, had operating income of $466,000 in fiscal year 2009.

feedproxy.google.com – Mélanie Laurent's The Adopted runs to ninety minutes and change without ever really letting the viewer inside its characters' heads, with the actress famous for Inglourious Basterds both starring and making her debut behind the camera. Sadly, The Adopted is a low-key melodrama, not a mystery - a story of people struggling with their sense of identity, feelings of isolation and co-dependency.

Many people underestimate the likelihood of accidents and natural
disasters. As a result, they often lack adequate home, health,
life, home and
car insurance
. Here are 10 compelling statistics that may make you rethink your
insurance strategy.

percent of houses in the United States were undervalued for
insurance purposes. Among those dwellings, the average homeowner
had enough insurance to rebuild only about 81 percent of his

percent of residents who have fire insurance also have earthquake
insurance, says the Insurance Information Network of
In the United States, 30 percent of households (35 million) have no
life insurance coverage at all - a 50-year low, according to LIMRA.
Compare that to 22 percent of households with no life insurance in
The 2010 Identity Fraud Survey Report
released recently by Javelin Strategy & Research found that the
number of identity fraud victims in the United States increased 12
percent to 11.1 million adults in 2009, while the total annual
fraud amount increased by 12.5 percent to $54 billion. Insurers
often offer identify theft insurance as an add-on to home and auto
insurance policies.
You may find it difficult to get behind the wheel if you spend too
much time thinking about how many uninsured drivers you pass on the
road each day. Widespread mandatory
auto insurance
laws have not resolved the problem. A 2009 report from the
Insurance Research Council estimated that about one in six drivers
would be uninsured in 2010.
Sometimes insurance companies fall victim to dishonesty. The
National Insurance Crime Bureau reports that member companies
referred 91,797 questionable claims in 2010, a 24 percent increase
over 2008's 74,146 questionable insurance claims.
When fraudulent claims are paid out, guess who pays more for
If you are 40 years old, you have about a 40 percent chance that
you will be disabled for 90 days or more by the time you are age
65, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Once
disabled, there is about a 50 percent chance that you'll continue
to be disabled for up to two years.
If you do not live near the coast or along a river or creek, you
may wrongly assume you are safe from flood water. But about 25
percent of all flood insurance claims last year come from areas
with moderate to low risk of flooding, according to the National
Flood Insurance Program. Standard
home insurance
usually does not cover flood damage.
There is little rest for the firefighters who protect us. According
to a 2009 National Fire Protection Association report, a fire
department responds to a fire somewhere in the United States every
23 seconds. A fire occurs in a structure every 66 seconds, in a
residence every 84 seconds and in a vehicle every 146 seconds.
Obesity and being overweight cost Americans $270 billion per year
according to a 2011 report by the Society of Actuaries. That
includes the cost of medical care and lost productivity due to
disability and early death caused by extra weight. It doesn't
include the extra you'll pay for life insurance premiums due to
high BMI.

This replacement lid lifter hinge fits many different Thule rooftop cargo boxes.
Video of Replacement Lid Lifter Hinge for Thule Cargo Boxes
Videos are provided As a guide only. Refer To manufacturer
installation instructions And specs For complete information.
Today we're going to review part number TH14936. This is the replacement dual force strut hinge. This part will fit the Thule Evolution cargo box and the Thule Atlantis cargo box. This is a hinge that's attached to the cargo box, and the way it attaches is on the cargo box, on the bottom of the cargo box there will be a ball socket. This will snap onto the ball socket at the bottom and on the top lid of the cargo box will be another ball socket. This top part of hinge will snap onto that.
It is used when you open your cargo box. This is spring loaded so it will open. It has spring tension onto it. That should do it for part number H14936.
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (70 Customer Reviews)This replacement lid lifter hinge fits many different Thule rooftop cargo boxes.

I just acquired this used Thule Atlantis 1800 cargo box and needed a new hinge. I searched online and was fortunate to find etrailer. The correct product was easy to find, the price was more than reasonable, and the purchase quick and easy. I received a confirmation of the order immediately, notice that the product had been shipped the next day - followed up by a personal note from George at etrailer - and received the hinge two days later via priority mail. Installed now and the cargo box works like a charm. Thank you etrailer for making this process simple, inexpensive and oh so pleasant! 216132

Works better than the original part. 116736

by: James M05/31/2013
I swear this replacement hinge didn't exist anywhere on the internet until recently. Whatever the case, I was elated to find this part available at etrailer. Installing this hinge was a bit of a chore - it took a lot more pressure to pop the socket over the hinge posts. Don't laugh, but I actually crawled inside the topper to get a better angle on installing the hinge. That worked for me, at least. The hinge works perfectly, and my Evolution 1600 doesn't need a prop stick to hold it open anymore. 82747

I recently put our Thule cargo box on the roof of our Denali to head north for a week of skiing with the family. Unfortunately the lid lever broke which made opening and closing the box difficult. After a quick search of the internet, the only folks that could help me was etrailer.com. Even Thule was out of stock. The lever arrived a day later and we are having a great week of skiing with a fully functional Thule Box. Well done etrailer.com. 111640
by: Eileen D.11/03/2013
We ordered this to replace a broken one on our Thule box, and we had been having trouble getting our local Thule dealer to help us with the part. Etrailer customer service was excellent, I was given immediate information on shipping, and follow up emails when it arrived. We received it quickly and I would definitely order from this company again! 106122

The Thule roof top hinge was exactly what I needed to fix my Thule Atlantis 1600XT. Not only did it ship fast, the instructional video I found from etrailer made the installation easy. Good product, good price, easy payment options, good instruction, and quick shipping. I could not ask for more. Thanks! 212279
by: Jacob H.10/28/2013
Hinge was exactly what was needed to replace a broken hinge on my Atlantis 1800 Thule. E-Trailer was the only place I could find this simple piece. Their site was easy to use, customer service and shipping was prompt and tracking identification was sent when package was in the mail. 105403

Installation on a late-model Thule Adventurer box was fairly straightforward. The original gas-assisted cylinders had stopped working, and needed something to replace them. They're not a perfect fit on the ball/socket, but it should do exactly what we need for quite a while. 128521
by: Joel03/25/2015
Great service, great timing for delivery. The part was a little tricky to snap on - I ended up using a clamp and slowly tightening it until it snapped. Instructions on which end goes up and which goes down would have been appreciated - but I figured it out. Thanks e-trailer. 180837
by: Peter D03/03/2016
The replacement hinge was easy nearly plug and play. Due to the odd angle I had to use a vice grip to pinch it into place. It was very easy to do. This box gets a lot of use each weekend with the family and the part has performed just as it should! Thanks for the help! 239332
by: Birdie12/23/2013
This hinge worked GREAT! It was quite difficult to pop onto the ball, however that means that it will be equally difficult to come back off, which is the goal. Product just as described. Thank you for your fast shipping and quality communication throughout. 110919
by: Brian A.07/31/2013
I needed, for a 15 year old Thule roof carrier, a replacement for a hinge that was a discontinued part. I got great advice on a hinge that would work as a substitute. The shipping and delivery were as fast as advertised, and the part worked perfectly. 92511
by: Tom01/10/2016
good match for the broken hinge. It would of been helpful to know that the metal inserts have to be cut out of the old hinge (Once I cut them out, I pressed them into the new hinge with a vice). Next time I'd just buy new metal inserts as well... 235166
by: Thaddeus08/12/2014
Excellent replacement for the worn out hinges on my Thule box. Somewhat stiff to install but I think this is a good thing as they are pressure fitted balls fitting into the socket on the hinge. Excellent service and shipping. Thanks 146167
by: Mike N.09/13/2014
Read review that the hitch would work with Sears 20-SV. Even asked the e-trailer pro and was told to buy two even though there was no right or left strut. Did not work and made closing lid impossible. Was a waste of money and time. 150937
On this particular part, the spring inside is stronger than the original equipment on the 20-SV. However, the arm length is the same, and functionality and mounting will be the same as well. It will require more input to close, as the spring is stronger and thus requires more force to collapse and allow the box to close. The TH14933 has a different spring and was for our smaller boxes, therefore it would be easier to close the box if that part is installed.Michael L from - 09/15/2014

Product worked as advertised. Customer service from etrailer was first class, arrived ahead of schedule with great e-mail communication to let me know where it was at each stage of the process. Would highly recommend etrailer 121838
by: Rich B.02/04/2014
The part looks perfect and was delivered on time. I haven't installed it yet, so I can't comment on that yet. However, I'm very certain that it will work well on my Adventurer box. I will advise if this is not the case. 115716
by: Thom H06/05/2015
Service was excellent. Ordered a replacement hinge for cargo box and was amazed to see it arrive the next day, yet I did not select or pay for overnight delivery. Pretty great! Thanks for processing the order so quickly. 200907
by: Andy03/08/2013
I bought the hinge to replace two broken hinges on an older Cascade XL model. With a bit of drilling (the older hinges have a stud and nut design) they worked perfectly! Thanks for saving me $$$ on a new Thule box! 69688
by: Robb M.09/16/2013
This product is exactly what I was expecting. I am using this hinge on a 20-year-old Thule cargo carrier, and with slight modification to the carrier, this is a great replacement part for the old gas piston lifters. 100093
by: Roy03/23/2015
Nothing much to say, after using the cargo box for several years, this part was worn out and a new hinge was needed, it is quite cheap and very easy to install, watching the video. Shipping was quick as well. 180275
by: Bruce G.10/18/2013
This product saved the day! Replacement pistons from Thule were no longer available, and the lid on my Adventurer box wouldn't stay up at all. These spring-loaded hinges are perfect! 104288

Product works very well. I don't think I could be any happier with the performance of the product. That being said, installation can be very difficult without a good tool. 112590
