Skip to comments.UK Olympian (woman) Suffers Major Wardrobe Malfunction on Bobsled Track
Posted on 01/20/2010 5:13:18 AM PST by domeika
Mornin freepers....just figured I'd pass this along. Enjoy.
LOL, now that's funny!
Marking for later....
Chilly sport!
It was that last order of fish and chips.
.."they think it's a thong, actually, it's the elastic from one sox that ended up there after the first turn"
Bet that was drafty.
I really do hate it when that happens.
How em bare ass ing.
Give her the gold medal!
I see London, I see France!
"I see London, I see France!"
I don't see no underpants!
Cracked me up!
Full moon over the mountains
I don't get it. Why do their hips and legs need to be aerodynamic when they're tucked inside the bobsled?
Look at the jaws on that sucka!
Now that was a 2 coffee equivalent post.
MOOOOOOOOOOON River!
I always wondered what a fault line looked like opening up.
In the immortal words of Dr. Sidney Friedman of MASH, "Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice"
All I see is a pint of beer.
I think you need a bigger desk. Hell, I think you need a bigger office..
Excellent, Mr. B! Kudos for that one! :)
Thanks for posting. Great Brit!
Whats all the screens for...and what kind of SW radio is that? Nice stuff. Please fill us in!
Cheeky humor to start off the morning, another clip has added sound effects.
Panty lines would cause increased aerodynamic drag!
was that Barry's birth certificate I saw in there?
ping for later
What`s going on there?
2 phones 4 pcs 2 Hams 3 Cbs ?
no CB's....
Clandestine listening post :)
I sit at home a lot. I am disabled and the PC's are for my amusement and function. One holds love Nexrad weather (my-cast.com), the big monitor is my Firfox browser, The others are for Amateur Radio. One controls the radio and interfaces with software that allows me to turn antennas etc from my keyboard, and the last one is a County emergency operations center where I volunteer. Anything coming into the FiOS connection can be put up on a 57" Mitsubishi with Verizons Media Manager. THe most important part of my man cave is the Beermeister :)
That is why she has donuts on her training table.
Those famously voluptuous British bums are a little too formidable for Lycra, it appears.
How unbearably embarrassing for her.
Even so, I still laughed my bum off.
And i thought of this, just as I posted...
(British peasant's voice)
"Behold! The crack of Doom!!!"
Well, it was easy to tell their time at the split....

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Se Ri Pak birdied four of the last five holes Sunday to overtake Carin Koch and successfully defend her title in the Mobile LPGA Tournament of Champions.
Pak closed with a 6-under 66, getting an eagle on the par-5 fourth hole and taking control with four straight birdies on Nos. 14-17. She finished with a four-stroke margin over Koch and Catriona Matthew.
The 25-year-old South Korean star had a tournament-record 20-under 268 total. She won $122,000 for the tournament victory.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: phranque
* PR (A) is the Page Rank of page A,
* PR (Ti) is the Page Rank of pages Ti which link to page A,
* C (Ti) is the number of outbound links on page Ti and
* d is a damping factor which can be set between 0 and 1
If I properly understood that means that the more I create inbound and outbound links the merrier the PR increases.
Is that sufficient for increasing the PR?
However, if you have good, relevant outbounds on your page, this can help SERPS. This has nothing to do with Pagerank. It's a different part of the Google algo, a score that you will never see.
The same is true for trust. This also is not Pagerank (some call this factor "trustrank"). Google will never tell you your trustrank. But it goes into the final mix along with Pagerank, relevant outbounds, and many other factors.
So, pay some attention to Pagerank. But pay attention to all the other factors that are known to affect SERPS as well. Unlike pagegrank, you will not know exactly what your score is for all those things, but you still need to work on them.

This ain't chemistry. This is Art.
With the momentous series finale of Breaking Bad just hours away, fans of the show are hungry for something, anything to wile away the time before the epic conclusion tonight. So why not kick back and chew the fat with your fellow MeFites with the help of a little tool I like to call "The Periodic Table of Breaking Bad." [more inside]
The Periodic Table of Periodic Tables
Hurfdurfium, anyone?
The periodic table will soon have a new addition - the "super-heavy" element 112. More than a decade after experiments first produced a single atom of the element, a team of German scientists has been credited with its discovery. But before it can be added to the official list of elements, they have to come up with an official name (hopefully better than its current unofficial moniker Ununbium).
Rare elements
116 or 118?
The Periodic Table should be familiar to anyone that's taken a Chemistry course. Like E=MC^2 it's something people tend to remember even years after they've forgotten everything else they learned in science class. Maybe that's why it's inspired so many renditions: From the edible to the wearable to the literary. Heck, for some it causes them to break out into song.
The Periodic Table Table
The Periodic Table Table now has its own, newly updated website. This had made the rounds on various websites when it was a mere set of construction photos on a bandwidth -constrained site. This is now much better.

Whether you're a teacher, parent or student looking to learn more about energy topics, the Energy Department has you covered.
Utah is working to ensure the resiliency of its future water and energy systems with funding from the Energy Department's State Energy Program. In fact, the state developed its own Water Energy in Action educational program –in conjunction with the National Energy Foundation – to educate K-12 students and teachers about the many uses of water.
Go behind the scenes to learn how students are gaining the skills necessary to advance the wind industry.
I had the distinct honor of being present at the White House for the announcement of the winners of the annual Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators and President's Environmental Youth Award. These awards recognize outstanding student leaders in environmental stewardship and K-12 teachers employing innovative approaches to environmental education in their schools
An Energy Department intern shares her story -- and gives advice to other students who may not have realized that the agency offers opportunities for any type of college major.
Our latest #WomenInSTEM highlights the work of Angela Capece -- a physicist at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
Check out this staightforward lesson, that can be adapted for all grade levels, on how to build a solar oven.
Gasoline is the most commonly used fuel for transportation; however, there are multiple alternative fuels that are making their way to the market. These alternative fuels include propane, natural gas, electric hybrids, hydrogen fuel cells, and bio-diesel. Students will probably have heard of some of these alternative fuels, but they may not understand how and why they are better then ordinary gasoline.

The Boxcar Children Super Summer
Three Adventures of the Boxcar Children

The Guest House
"Wake up, Benny," Henry said, gently shaking Benny's shoulder. "We're here."
Benny yawned and sat up. "Has the bus stopped?"
"Look outside," Violet said, leaning across the aisle and pointing at the trees. "See? The trees have stopped moving past the window." She swung her lavender sweater around her shoulders and stood up.
Jessie reached for her bag, which was under the seat, and slid across to the aisle. "I'm eager to see Joe and Alice Alden, aren't you?"
"Yes," Violet said. "It's been a long time since we've seen our cousins."
As they moved up the aisle to the front door, Henry said, "It was nice of them to invite us, wasn't it?"
"Yes," Jessie said. "We had such good times on Surprise Island."
"And camping out and finding Bill McGregor," Benny said, wide awake and looking out the window. "I can't wait to go to the amusement park that's near Joe and Alice's." Then he rubbed his nose. "I'm sorry, though, that we had to leave Watch with Grandfather."
"Watch will be fine, Benny," Henry said reassuringly. "Our dog will keep Grandfather company. And Mrs. McGregor will look after both of them."
Jessie patted Benny's hand. "One of the first places we'll visit will be the amusement park, Benny."
Benny's face brightened.
"Step lively!" the bus driver ordered.
They took the big step down off the bus and onto the ground.
"Where're Joe and Alice?" Violet asked, looking around.
"Oh, they'll be here," Jessie said. "They're always on time."
Henry glanced about the bus station and noticed a big sign with the town's name, Pine Grove. Suddenly he broke into a wide smile. "Right over there," he shouted, pointing at a handsome young man.
Benny waved wildly. "Hi, Joe!"
"Hi, Benny!" a young man called, rushing forward and swinging the six-year-old boy around in a circle. Benny yelled with delight.
"Hello, Joe," Henry said, stepping forward.
Joe grabbed Henry's hand. "It's good to see you, Henry." He stepped back and studied the boy. "You're almost as tall as me!"
Henry's dark eyes sparkled. "Well, I am fourteen."
Joe shook his head and turned to Jessie. He brushed the girl's cheek with a kiss. "What a young lady you've become, Jessie! It's hard to believe you're twelve years old and Violet is ten."
Jessie smiled. "I'm glad to see you, Joe. Where's Alice?"
"She's working at the museum, but she'll be home in time for dinner," Joe said.
The young man looked over Jessie's shoulder and drew Violet forward.
Violet's cheeks grew pink. "Hello, Joe," she said shyly.
"You can tell you and Jessie are sisters with that brown hair and those brown eyes."
"Just like you, Joe," Jessie said, a twinkle in her eye.
Joe laughed as he threw their suitcases in the back of his station wagon. "Welcome to Pine Grove," he said. "I'll show you around after you've unpacked and had a cold drink. Even in the North Woods it's hot in August."
The children scrambled into the large car, and Joe drove down Main Street. Pine Grove was a pretty town surrounded by large pine trees. The children were all eyes as they rode past the library, the drugstore, the grocery store, a dress shop, and the Indian Museum where both Joe and Alice worked.
They hadn't gone very far down the highway when Benny shouted, "Look! There's a man in trouble."
There on the side of the road was a pickup truck with its hood up. The back end was loaded with cameras, stands, and lights.
Joe braked the station wagon and got out. "Hi," he called. "Can I help?"
A tall man with a red cap poked his head around the hood. "No, thanks," he said with a smile. "I already called a tow truck, and it should be here any minute."
Benny had already jumped out and was studying the equipment on the truck. "Are you a picture-taker?" he asked.
The man threw back his head and laughed. "Me? Naw, I don't know a thing about photography, my boy. I'm just delivering the stuff."
"Oh," Benny said. "I see." Losing interest, he climbed back into the station wagon.
Joe returned to the driver's seat, and they started off. He made a right turn, then a left, and slowed down when he went by the Pine Grove Amusement Park.
"Oh, boy!" Benny exclaimed. "Can we go to the park and eat cotton candy?"
"You bet," Joe said. "I thought you kids might enjoy biking there tomorrow."
"Biking?" Henry asked.
Joe chuckled. "Yes, Henry and Jessie can use our bikes and I've rented two more."
"Hurrah for Joe!" Benny said.
Soon he pulled up to a white house with a large front porch and a swing. Around the house and yard was a white picket fence.
"Here we are," Joe said. "Everyone out for a glass of apple cider!"
"Wonderful!" Jessie said. "I could drink a gallon!"
Violet smiled. "At least a glass, Jessie."
They went into the house.
"How cozy!" Violet exclaimed, looking at the dark blue flowered loveseat and matching sofa, and the striped blue, yellow, and green easy chairs.
"It is pretty, isn't it?" Jessie said.
"Let's go outside," Joe said. "And I'll show you where you'll be staying."
Henry glanced at Jessie not knowing what to expect, but when they went through the kitchen and out the back door, they were both surprised. There was a charming little house, the exact twin of Joe and Alice's house, only smaller.
"It's the guest house," Joe explained, "complete with a kitchen. Do you like it?"
"Do we!" Benny said. "It's great!"
"Oh, yes," Violet said. "We can do our own cooking!"
Joe said, "I know how you like to be on your own."
They explored the little house. The two bedrooms were each done in blue. The living room had a large comfortable sofa, and nearby were two easy chairs. In the kitchen there was an eating nook in a large bay window. There was a small refrigerator and stove and cupboards with glass doors that displayed turquoise and pink pottery dishes.
After the Aldens had unpacked and hung up their clothes, they came back to the main house and drank apple cider with Joe.
Benny held out his chipped cup for more. "I never go any place without my pink cup," he announced.
Joe smiled. "And why is that?"
"I found this cup in a junk heap when we were living in the boxcar," Benny answered.
Joe nodded solemnly, pouring the cold juice into Benny's cup. "I remember the story of the boxcar. Your grandfather told me that you lived there because you were afraid of him."
"Yes," Jessie said. "After we lost our parents, we thought it would be better to live alone, rather than live with Grandfather."
"We thought he was mean and wouldn't like us," Violet added.
Henry chuckled. "Nothing could have been further from the truth."
"It was lucky Grandfather found us," Benny chimed in.
"Yes," Joe agreed. "Your grandfather Alden is a fine man."
"Is he your grandfather, too?" Benny asked, a frown crossing his round face.
"No," Joe replied. "My father and your grandfather were brothers."
"So our grandfather is your uncle," Violet said thoughtfully.
"Yes." Joe nodded. "Your grandfather is my uncle James Alden."
The back door opened and footsteps were heard coming across the kitchen and dining room. "Here you are!" Alice exclaimed, coming into the room. "We were counting the days until you arrived. Welcome, Aldens!"
"Hi, dear," Joe said, offering her a glass. "Will you have some cider with us?"
"Sure will," Alice said, collapsing in a chair. She wore jeans and a cotton shirt. "I'm thirsty after working in that musty museum all day." She smiled at each of the children. "You all look marvelous," she said.
"So do you," Jessie said, admiring Alice's slim figure and the light brown hair that curled softly about her face.
Alice laughed, a silvery tinkly sound. "Are you hungry?" she asked, rising.
"Starved!" Benny said.
"Benny, hush," Violet said.
"But I am hungry," he replied. "Honest!"
"Good for you, Benny," Joe said. "We've planned a hearty dinner for you."
"May we help?" Henry asked.
"Why, yes," Alice said. "Thank you."
"First, though," Jessie asked, "may we call Grandfather and tell him we arrived safely?"
"Of course," Alice said, pointing to the phone on a table in the living room. "Help yourselves."
They each spoke to their grandfather, telling him they were happily settled in, and promising to call him later in the week.
Re-entering the kitchen, the Aldens were each given a task. Benny set the table, Henry poured milk and water, Violet folded napkins, and Jessie made the salad.
Then the children sat down to eat. They were pleased with the hot delicious dinner that Joe and Alice had prepared—steak, baked potatoes, spinach, tossed salad, and banana-cream pie.
After dinner Benny leaned back and rubbed his stomach. "I'm not hungry anymore," he said, his eyes half closing. "I'm sleepy."
Alice sipped her coffee. "Well, you'd better get a good night's sleep because tomorrow you'll have a busy day."
Benny's face looked puzzled. "We will?"
"Yes," Joe said. "You're going to the amusement park."
"Oh, that will be wonderful," Violet said, rising to help Alice clear the table.
"Wait until you see the beautiful merry-go-round horses," Alice said.
Benny's eyes widened. "Horses?"
"Yes," Joe said with a chuckle. "The wooden horses on the carousel are hand-carved."
Alice's eyes shone. "The horses are really a piece of Americana."
"Americana?" Violet asked.
"Yes," Alice said. "A piece of American history or American art. The horses are not only very old but also very valuable."
"Oh, I can't wait to see them," Violet said.
"I can't wait to ride them," Benny echoed.
"Tomorrow we'll not only see the horses but ride them as well," Jessie promised, smiling.
"Tomorrow should be fun," Henry said, putting a hand on Benny's shoulder.CHAPTER 2
The Merry-go-round
On Tuesday morning, in their cabin, the Alden children prepared a big breakfast of orange juice, pancakes, maple syrup, sausage, and milk. Alice had stocked the refrigerator and cupboards with enough groceries to last two days.
"Are you ready to go to the amusement park, Benny?" Jessie asked.
"Yes!" he answered. "I want to eat cotton candy and ride on the tilt-a-whirl and the merry- go-round!"
Violet laughed. "Aren't you afraid you'll get dizzy?"
Benny grinned. "Nope! I could ride the tilt-a-whirl all day long!"
Jessie scraped her plate at the sink. She wore jeans and a white T-shirt. Her thick hair bounced up and down when she walked.
Henry stood up from the table and stacked the rest of the plates. "Isn't this a nice house?" he asked.
"It's like a doll house," Violet replied, glancing around.
After the dishes were washed, Henry opened the door. "Let's begin the day. Alice and Joe are at work already," he said cheerfully.
They wheeled the bikes out of the garage and mounted them.
As they biked along the road with the sun streaming through the pine trees, Henry whistled a tune with Jessie joining in. Benny puckered up his lips, but no whistle came out. The harder he tried, the more his cheeks puffed out, the redder his face became, and the more air he blew out.
Violet laughed. "Don't feel bad, Benny. I can't whistle either."
Arriving at the amusement park, they put their bikes in a bike rack and carefully padlocked them.
The park opened early on summer mornings. Rides were whirling and twirling around them, lights flashed, and customers on the rides shrieked with delight.
"Ooooh," Benny gasped, running toward a concession stand. "Cotton candy."
The others followed and gathered around the stand. Benny gazed at the pink frothy candy oozing out of the machine. He looked up at Henry. "Could I have some?" he begged.
Henry smiled and shook his head. "It's a little early. But you've been dreaming about cotton candy ever since we arrived." He turned to a woman with dark hair and asked pleasantly, "We'll all have one. How much?"
The woman pointed to the sign as her bracelets jingled. She wore her hair pulled tightly back into a bun, showing gold earrings. She handed each of them a cone of cotton candy.
"My, my," a man with black curly hair said to Benny, "that cone is almost as big as you are." He winked at Henry and took the money. Smoothing down his drooping moustache, he questioned, "Where are you kids from?"
"We're staying just outside Pine Grove," Violet answered shyly.
"Yes," Jessie said in a friendly tone. "We're visiting our cousins."
"Welcome to Pine Grove," he said, holding out his hand to Henry. "I'm Frank Arnold and this is my wife, Sheila."
"I'm Benny Alden," Benny piped up.
Henry laughed. "And I'm Henry Alden, and these are my sisters, Violet and Jessie."
"We serve hamburgers and hot dogs, too," Sheila Arnold interrupted in a husky voice.
"Come back for lunch."
"Oh, we will," Benny said happily, licking the giant pink cone of candy.
They walked over to the Ferris wheel. "That's the biggest Ferris wheel I've ever seen," Violet exclaimed.
Jessie, turning to her left said, "Oh, look, there's a House of Mirrors!"
A young woman with straight red hair who was standing there glanced at Jessie. "I knew people would love this!"
"Let's go in," Henry said.
"Sorry," the unsmiling woman said abruptly, turning away. "It's new and won't be open until tomorrow."
"Look!" Benny yelled. "The merry-go-round!"
The children hurried away, forgetting all about the unpleasant woman. They stared at the graceful carved horses.
"They're so lifelike," Violet breathed, completely won over by the horses' beauty.
The calliope music blared forth as the horses moved up and down to the musical beat.
"I've never seen such beautiful horses," Henry said in an awed tone.
"And to think," Violet added, "Alice said they are part of our history."
Jessie marveled at a large brown and gray steed. The gallant horse had plates of armor painted on and armor over his head so that only his eyes and ears were visible.
"I want to ride that gray one with the dots!" Benny said eagerly. "It looks like he's breathing fire."
"That's called a dapple gray, Benny," Jessie explained.
"It's hard to choose a favorite," Violet said, studying them. "They're all so beautiful."
They rode the merry-go-round twice, then dismounted and rode the swings and the Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel frightened Benny a little. They ate hot dogs and chocolate shakes and trudged over every inch of the dusty grounds.
Several times they stopped to try their luck at different games. Henry threw a softball, knocked down five wooden milk bottles, and won a box of candy. Jessie put money in a machine full of prizes and maneuvered a huge claw to pick up a silver ring with a green stone. Violet tried her hand at the ringtoss and managed to circle three pegs, winning a small but cute teddy bear. Benny had his weight guessed, but the man guessed wrong, so Benny won a softball.
By midafternoon the children were tired. "I'm ready to go home," Jessie said, brushing a wisp of hair from her forehead.
"Me, too," Benny said. "I was ready after that scary Ferris wheel ride."
Henry led the way to the bikes, and even though the Aldens were weary, they pedaled along the road, filled with contentment. It had been a wonderful day.
When Joe and Alice got home the Aldens told them every detail about the rides, the food, and their prizes. The day had been filled with surprises, but Joe had a surprise, too.
"We're having a barbecue tonight," he said.
"Yes," Alice said. "Joshua Eaton and his daughter, Karen, are joining us. They own the amusement park."
"Oh, great," Violet said, her eyes sparkling. "Maybe they'll tell us something about the merry-go-round horses."
"I hope so!" Jessie said. "Let's go to our house and clean up."
After Henry had given Joe and Alice the box of candy he'd won, the children left.
Once they'd washed and put on clean clothes, they came back to help with dinner.
Jessie was placing the silverware on the table when the doorbell rang.
A gray-haired man and a young woman of about twenty entered. Benny blurted out, "Why, you're the girl we saw by the House of Mirrors."
"Yes, I am," she replied with a flicker of a smile.
"Hello! Hello!" the gray-haired man said. "I'm Joshua Eaton."
"And these are our cousins," Alice said, presenting Violet, Jessie, Henry, and Benny.
The children said hello. "Wow," Benny said. "You own the amusement park! I won a softball!"
"Good for you," Joshua Eaton said.

How much can I ask for my car?
Need to sell my 240 DL. Some outer trim missing, but the body's good. Interior fair. Needs
alternator, front struts, trans leak, more. Can't afford to put more money into it. How much can I
expect to get for it?
1 Answer
Well first of all where is your car located. That determins what the cars value is too. As it aint running it is not worth much. But if it was running i estimate the value based on the value in Vancouver, BC around $600-$800. As is proberly worth $300 as not running right now & needs a alternator & front struts. You minus the amount the repair costs are to get it back on the road from the value of the car in running condition. Hope you are not offended by my estimate.

I want to use this to implement our Survey module, but is is difficult to do second-development?, and is it possible to be integrated in our applications? Thanks.
Encuestame is based on RESTFul services, How do you you would to integrate?
Our application is based on both RESTFul services and servlet, it's developed by Spring + Spring IOC + Hibernate, and our DB is MySQL. I see this app is very powerful to do this, so hope it can be used directly in my case.
I'm now installing Encuestame, it really takes a long time.

Curious how many DTers scrapbook.Ā I was recently told by a friend that scrapbooking is dorky, so since this group is by far the edgiest on BBC I bring the question to you.Ā Is scrapbooking dorky?Ā Do you do it?
It's pretty dorky. I am an avid scrapper. I don't do digital--I make my own books. That is fun for me. I have been to scrapbooking weekends, too where we scrap all night.┬Ā
Teaching is...the profession that makes all other professions possible.
I'm with SillyMtrix.
I don't think it is dorky, I think it is expensive. That is why I only scrapbook a little.
I love scrapbooking, LOVE my Cricut- that's what really got me addicted. I also like knitting and sewing, too, gardening, cooking. I like doing things with my hands, I especially like taking raw materials and creating something out of them with my hands. I'd love to learn metallurgy and glass blowing some day, but alas, I have too many hobbies as it is.
Never trust atoms... they make up everything.
I would love a Cricut!
Teaching is...the profession that makes all other professions possible.
I'm with SillyMtrix.
When I joined our towns moms club ... I learned pretty quick me and most scrapbooking moms just are not meant to socialize together. If you pair that with a non drinker.. Oh man.. Never gonna happen.
I personally look for clues like.. References to wines, new micro beer.. Etc. Before I make a new friend :)
Tips for scrapbooking moms who throw scrapbooking parties... Serve alcohol ... It would greatly help :)
If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out.
I would rather lose at Candy Land multiple times against my 6 y/o than do scrapbooking.
Bwahahahahaha. Me too!
NinjaMonkey ('06) NinjaMuffin ('11) NinjaPeanut ('14)
I think it's far less trendy than it was a few years back, but I would still enjoy it if I actually had time. I've done exactly one page in my ODD's baby book. She's 6.
It is the debate team after all, not the pat you on the head team.~bobbylite doitright
Wanna chat it up with DT members? There's a group for that!
I love my Cricut and scrapbooking! I obviously did a lot more before I had DD though. I was completely caught up til she arrived and now I have books of pictures that are going to take FOREVER.
Is it dorky? Probably but I'm a dork so I'll own it. And it IS expensive - though the Cricut has brought down my costs considerably because I can cut practically anything with it.
Digital scrapbooking isn't scrapbooking to me - it's plopping a digital picture into a premade layout - no thought process involved and I like coming up with new layouts for each book.

DC Mega vs Salomon Sabotage
I am a big fan of camber and do not get along with rocker or Lib tech's BTX. I am looking to get a new board for this winter and was wondering if anybody have ridden either of these boards? I am looking for an aggressive park board thats good mainly in the park but is still good at flat basing down the mountain and some pow?
I ride a forum conflict and love it because of the camber, its ability to flat base, its pop, and its responsiveness.
Any info would be great.
Thanks guys!
I have a mega and love it. I too don't like the loose feeling of rocker boards and this board is a straight shooter. Pretty stiff board, not the best on rails because of this but I think park riding is more rider than board anyways. On the groomers and steeps the stiffness helps, it has a lot of pop and response, great all mountain board. I ride 50/50 park and trails btw.
The Salomon Villain would be a better choice than the Sabotage, especially for what your looking to get out of it
Have you seen Torstein? Have you seen him ride? Mega definitely. Salomon riders pull triples? Salomon makes good stuff, but DC makes good stuff too.
Thanks for the reply's guys! Yeh Torstien is a boss and thats one of the main reasons im looking at that board. The reason i was thinking about the sabotage is because Jamie Nicholls rides it and he rides a lot of big park as well. I was looking at the villain as well but the fact that Jamie doesn't ride it made me prefer the sabotage i tiny bit more.
I rode a 2013 Salomon Villain last season and loved it, although I went much smaller than I should've so bit of a hassle in areas youd expect with that on the Alps.

Unsigned Check? Don't Return It!"Whether a mistake is intentional or unintentional, we do not allow incorrect checks to tie up our cash flow," says a Texas credit manager we know, who never returns a check to a customer. Instead she sends the following letter:
Thank you for your check #3410 dated January 28, 2011, in the amount of $585.38.
While processing this check through our accounts receivable department, we noticed that it was not signed. However, since we are entitled to the proceeds of this item, we continued to process it with the notation, "Signature guaranteed by ____________c." Would you please instruct your bank to process this check when it is received?
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter and past good business. Please let us serve you again soon.
"Everyone involved in the transaction--the customer, the customer's bank, and our own bank--is informed of the error and how and why we corrected it," she says. "The letter, along with a copy of the corrected check, is sent to the customer and to the paying bank. A copy of the letter is also attached to the corrected, endorsed check, which is then placed for deposit.
"For unsigned checks, our guarantee is typed on the signature line. For checks with varying amounts entered in the numerical and written sections, we correct the wrong amount with the notation Correct amount guaranteed to be (amount). Of course, I adapt the customer's letter to fit each error," she says.
"I've never had a customer or a bank question or return a check that is handled in this manner," she concludes. "After all, we are only correcting and guaranteeing that to which we are entitled."
I have never had the experience where the check was not replaced. The letter maybe useful where there is a large volume of checks of this type. but it does seem like a lot of work.

HICKORY, N.C. - For the third straight game, the Charleston RiverDogs scored the first run of the contest against the Hickory Crawdads but suffered a loss in a 3-1 defeat on Wednesday afternoon at L.P. Frans Stadium in South Atlantic League action.
Former Citadel Bulldog Joe Jackson drove in all three runs for the Crawdads.
Charleston was swept in a three-game road series and also was eliminated from the first-half Southern Division pennant race. The RiverDogs have a 27-32 record after their eighth straight loss. The Crawdads are now 31-27 with their fifth consecutive victory.
Tyler Wade propelled the RiverDogs to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Following a one-out single to center field, Wade stole second base and reached third on a wild pitch while Aaron Judge was at the plate. Judge grounded out and scored Wade for a quick Charleston lead.
The RiverDogs' lead would be short-lived as the Crawdads tied the game during the bottom of the first. Evan Van Hoosier led off with a single. Van Hoosier tried to score on Nick Vickerson's double but was thrown out at the plate on a relay from Michael O'Neill to Wade to Jackson Valera. Vickerson advanced to third on the throw and came in during a single by Jackson.
The next few innings included scoreless work by Charleston's Luis Severino and Hickory's Akeem Bostick. Severino stranded runners at second base in the second and third innings before quickly retiring the side in the fourth. Bostick left one runner aboard during each of his final three frames before Ricardo Rodriguez relieved him with a scoreless top of the fifth.
Hickory took a 3-1 lead in the home half of the fifth. Jackson batted with two outs and had Michael De Leon and Van Hoosier on base. Jackson doubled to center field, driving both runners home as the Crawdads went ahead. This was the sixth straight multi-hit game for Jackson, who also has a nine-game hit streak overall.
Charleston did not score any runs after taking its early lead in the first inning. The RiverDogs got the potential tying runs aboard with back-to-back singles in the ninth, but their comeback was snuffed out by a strikeout and a foul pop out.
Rodriguez earned the win, improving to 3-1 following four shutout innings of relief. Severino recorded a quality start but was charged with a loss and dropped to 1-2. Hickory's Angelo Leclerc pitched a scoreless ninth inning to claim his first save of the season.
Coming up
Charleston returns to Riley Park on Thursday to start a four-game homestand against the Savannah Sand Gnats at 7:05 p.m. RiverDogs LHP Ian Clarkin (1-3, 4.23 ERA) will open against Sand Gnats RHP Miller Diaz (5-0, 1.93 ERA).

The Pasadena Unified School District launched an investigation Thursday into the handling of its $350-million school construction bond, a day after suspending a top official and several work contracts.
On Wednesday the district placed Chief Facilities Officer David Azcárraga on leave, suspended its contract with a consultant overseeing work under the 2008 bond measure, Measure TT, and terminated four other consulting contracts.
District spokesman Adam Wolfson said the investigation will be conducted by Vicenti, Lloyd and Stutzman, a Glendora-based accounting firm that specializes in probing public agencies for fraud.
Officials declined to comment about the nature of the investigation.
Azcárraga, hired by the Pasadena school district in January 2011, was placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday pending the outcome of the investigation, said Wolfson.
Before coming to Pasadena, Azcárraga was chief facilities officer for the Compton Unified School District and had worked for the West Contra Costa County and city of Vallejo school districts, according to a 2011 Pasadena schools hiring announcement. He had also overseen maintenance of military bases in the San Francisco Bay area for the U.S. Navy.
The district on Wednesday also suspended its contract with Robin Brown, a consultant overseeing all Measure TT contracts and projects, Wolfson said. Brown was hired in June 2011 and was earning up to $312,000 per year at a rate of $150 per hour, according to district documents.
Azcárraga's annual salary is $155,000, said Wolfson.
Consulting contracts with four other individuals or companies overseeing bond funds have been terminated, as well.
Pasadena-based Seville Construction Services held a $162,680 contract to provide "document control staff" for school construction work, according to documents.
Ontario-based LCC3 Construction held a $99,840 contract to oversee construction accounting services and a $66,300 contract for navigating that Department of State Architect approval processes.
The district also suspended a $176,800 contract with consulting project manager Peter Contis. Contis oversaw work at Madison, Webster and Longfellow elementary schools as well as McKinley School and Marshall Fundamental School, according to the district.
A $114,400 contract with assistant project manager Arturo Arce was also terminated.
Arce, Contis and workers on the Seville and LCC3 contracts reported to Brown, according to an organizational flow chart posted on the district's Measure TT website. Brown reported to Azcárraga.
Bond-funded projects currently under construction include a new family center and student drop-off area at Madison, electrical upgrades at Marshall, auditorium modernization at Webster, and a new classroom building and faculty parking area at Cleveland Elementary School, according to the Measure TT site.
School board members, who met in closed session on Tuesday, declined to comment or did not return calls.
Pasadena Police Lt. Phlunte Riddle said the agency is not conducting an investigation of alleged improprieties with Measure TT contracts.
The Public Integrity Division of the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office is not investigating the handling of Pasadena Unified School District bond funds, according to division head Jennifer Lentz Snyder.
School District Chief Finance Officer John Pappalardo has temporarily assumed role of chief facilities officer, Wolfson said.
In June, Vicenti, Lloyd and Stutzman was called in after a separate contracts controversy erupted at Pasadena City College.
The firm began inspecting the books at Pasadena City College after county prosecutors launched a bribery investigation against the college's top financial officer and head of facilities.
Prosecutors have not filed charges in the PCC case, which remains an open investigation.

Leeds, 2nd April 2013, Security and compliance company, RandomStorm, has appointed Jim Seaman as a senior security consultant. The company has grown its staff by ten per cent in the past twelve months, as more organisations focus on securing customer data and payment details.
RandomStorm provides vulnerability management products and consultancy services, to help companies in the public sector, retail, hospitality, financial and utility industries to improve and maintain their security posture. The company is a CESG CHECK security consultancy and certified as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council.
Seaman brings specialist skills in cyber security, information assurance, defence in depth and combatting the insider threat, gained during his 23 year military career, during which he attained the rank of Sergeant. He has also gained information security and risk management skills in the financial sector, during his employment with a large banking group. He holds a Masters degree in Security Management and transferred his knowledge to the corporate sector by attaining the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard QSA certifications.
During his time working with the Royal Air Force (RAF), Seaman gained extensive experience in the application of the Defence Manual of Security (JSP440), Corporate Governance & Risk Management, (JSP 525) and Security Risk Management in the RAF (AP3085 & AP3085A). Following his successful completion of the RAF Police Counter Intelligence course in 2002, Jim has enjoyed numerous appointments on Specialist Security duties, at both unit and regional levels in the UK and overseas.
At the unit level, Jim was responsible for providing Information Assurance and security advice to executive personnel and investigative resources to support the protection of critical and highly sensitive assets.
At the regional level, Jim was appointed to the RAF Special Branch to provide specialist security, risk and intelligence support to military establishments within the Area Of Responsibility (AOR).
Commenting on his move to civilian security consultancy, Seaman said, "RandomStorm offered me the best potential to use my expansive skillset. I like the way that the management team take my ideas on board and I also have the opportunity to employ my PTTLS level 4 training to develop the skills of other security professionals within the team."
Seaman maintains an extensive Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programme, through active membership of ISACA, the ISACA Northern Charter,IISP and ASIS.
Andrew Mason, CTO of RandomStorm said, "Jim Seaman is a great example of a security professional who is committed to ongoing learning and who is willing to share expertise with his team. Nothing stands still in the information security world. As hackers and cyber thieves are constantly changing tactics to try to outwit corporate defences, we need to be equally nimble to stay on top of the latest threats and help our customers to remain secure and compliant. By recruiting consultants from a range of disciplines and encouraging them to share ideas and expertise, we can strengthen our team and continue to stay ahead of the latest developments in information security."

5.3: Write a Function in Slope-Intercept Form
What if the linear function \begin{align*}W(g)\end{align*} represented a family's monthly water bill, with \begin{align*}g\end{align*} as the number of gallons of water used. If you knew what the function was, could you find \begin{align*}W(25)\end{align*}? How about if you knew the slope of the function and the value of \begin{align*}W(25)\end{align*}? Could you determine what the function was? Suppose you knew the values of \begin{align*}W(25)\end{align*} and \begin{align*}W(50)\end{align*}. Could you determine the function in this case? After completing this Concept, you'll be able to perform tasks like these.
Remember that a linear function has the form \begin{align*}f(x)=mx+b\end{align*}. Here \begin{align*}f(x)\end{align*} represents the \begin{align*}y\end{align*} values of the equation or the graph. So \begin{align*}y=f(x)\end{align*} and they are often used interchangeably. Using the functional notation in an equation often provides you with more information.
For instance, the expression \begin{align*}f(x)=mx+b\end{align*} shows clearly that \begin{align*}x\end{align*} is the independent variable because you substitute values of \begin{align*}x\end{align*} into the function and perform a series of operations on the value of \begin{align*}x\end{align*} in order to calculate the values of the dependent variable, \begin{align*}y\end{align*}.
In this case when you substitute \begin{align*}x\end{align*} into the function, the function tells you to multiply it by \begin{align*}m\end{align*} and then add \begin{align*}b\end{align*} to the result. This process generates all the values of \begin{align*}y\end{align*} you need.
Example A
Consider the function \begin{align*}f(x)=3x-4.\end{align*} Find \begin{align*}f(2), f(0),\end{align*} and \begin{align*}f(-1)\end{align*}.
Each number in parentheses is a value of \begin{align*}x\end{align*} that you need to substitute into the equation of the function.
\begin{align*}f(2)=2; f(0)=-4; \ and \ f(-1)=-7\end{align*}
Function notation tells you much more than the value of the independent variable. It also indicates a point on the graph. For example, in the above example, \begin{align*}f(-1)=-7\end{align*}. This means the ordered pair (–1, –7) is a solution to \begin{align*}f(x)=3x-4\end{align*} and appears on the graphed line. You can use this information to write an equation for a function.
Example B
Write an equation for a line with \begin{align*}m=3.5\end{align*} and \begin{align*}f(-2)=1\end{align*}.
You know the slope, and you know a point on the graph, (–2, 1). Using the methods presented in this Concept, write the equation for the line.
Begin with slope-intercept form.
\begin{align*}&& y& =mx+b\\ \text{Substitute the value for the slope.} && y& =3.5x+b\\ \text{Use the ordered pair to solve for} \ b. && 1& =3.5(-2)+b\\ && b& =8\\ \text{Rewrite the equation.} && y& =3.5x+8 \\ \text{or} && f(x)& =3.5x+8\end{align*}
Example C
Write an equation for a line with \begin{align*}f(-1)=2\end{align*} and \begin{align*}f(5)=20\end{align*}.
You know two points on the graph. Using the methods presented in the previous Concept, write the equation for the line. First, you must find the slope:
Now use the slope-intercept form:
\begin{align*}&& y& =mx+b\\ \text{Substitute the value for the slope.} && y& =3x+b\\ \text{Use the ordered pair to solve for} \ b. && 2& =3(-1)+b\\ && b& =5\\ \text{Rewrite the equation.} && y& =3x+5\\ \text{or} && f(x)& =3x+5\end{align*}
Guided Practice
Write an equation for a line with \begin{align*}f(0)=2\end{align*} and \begin{align*}f(3)=-4\end{align*} and use it to find \begin{align*}f(-5), f(2), f(0), \text{ and } f(z)\end{align*}.
Notice that the first point given as an input value is 0, and the output is 2, which means the point is (0,2). This is the \begin{align*}y\end{align*}-intercept. So, all we have to do is find the slope and then plug both values into the slope-intercept form:
Now use the slope-intercept form.
\begin{align*}&& y& =mx+b\\ \text{Substitute the value for the slope.} && y& =-2x+b\\ \text{Substitute the value for the y-intercept} && y& =-2x+2\\ \text{or} && f(x)& =-2x+2\end{align*}
Now we find the values of \begin{align*}f(-5), f(2), f(0), \text{ and } f(z)\end{align*} for \begin{align*} f(x) =-2x+2 \end{align*}.
\begin{align*} f(-5) =-2(-5)+2=10+2=12 \end{align*}
\begin{align*} f(2) =-2(2)+2=-2 \end{align*}
\begin{align*} f(0) =-2(0)+2=0 \end{align*}
\begin{align*} f(z) =-2z+2 \end{align*}
Sample explanations for some of the practice exercises below are available by viewing the following video. Note that there is not always a match between the number of the practice exercise in the video and the number of the practice exercise listed in the following exercise set. However, the practice exercise is the same in both. CK-12 Basic Algebra: Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form (14:58)
- Consider the function \begin{align*}f(x)=-2x-3.\end{align*} Find \begin{align*}f(-3), f(0),\end{align*} and \begin{align*}f(5)\end{align*}.
- Consider the function \begin{align*}f(x)=\frac{2}{3}x+10.\end{align*} Find \begin{align*}f(-9), f(0),\end{align*} and \begin{align*}f(9)\end{align*}.
In 3 – 10, find the equation of the linear function in slope–intercept form.
- \begin{align*}m=5, f(0)=-3\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}m=-2\end{align*}, \begin{align*}f(0)=5\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}m=-7, f(2)=-1\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}m=\frac{1}{3}, f(-1)=\frac{2}{3}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}m=4.2, f(-3)=7.1\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}f\left (\frac{1}{4}\right )=\frac{3}{4}, f(0)=\frac{5}{4}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}f(1.5)=-3, f(-1)=2\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}f(-1)=1\end{align*}, \begin{align*}f(1)=-1\end{align*}
Mixed Review
- Translate into a sentence: \begin{align*}4(j+2)=400\end{align*}.
- Evaluate \begin{align*}0.45 \cdot 0.25-24 \div \frac{1}{4}\end{align*}.
- The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is \begin{align*}C(F)=\frac{F-32}{1.8}\end{align*}. What is the Celsius equivalent to \begin{align*}35^\circ F\end{align*}?
- Find the rate of change: The diver dove 120 meters in 3 minutes.
- What percent of 87.4 is 106?
- Find the percent of change: The original price was $25.00. The new price is $40.63.

Nutrient Metabolism, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive overview of the supply and use of nutrients in the human body and how the body regulates intake. Chapters detail the principles determining digestion and absorption of food ingredients and how these compounds and their metabolites get into the brain, cross the placenta and pass through the kidneys. Each nutrient's coverage contains a nutritional summary that describes its function, its food sources, dietary requirements, potential health risks if deficient, and impact of excessive intake. This handbook contains the latest information on the scope of structures, processes, genes and cofactors involved in maintaining a healthy balance of nutrient supplies. Of interest to a wide range of professionals because nutrient issues connect to so many audiences, the book contains a useful link to dietary supplements.
