By Tom Philpott: PNT columnist
As House and Senate Democrats negotiate a final compromise national health care reform bill, military people across the nation — and their advocates in Washington D.C. — remain vigilant for side effects.
The Obama administration and Democratic congressional leaders have tried to reassure military members, retirees and veterans that national health care reform won't negatively impact them — in fact it will help veterans.
Indeed Democrats contend that if the Senate-passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (HR 3590) becomes law, many of 16 million veterans not enrolled in VA health care "will have access to quality, affordable health insurance choices through [new] health insurance Exchanges…and may be eligible for premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions as well."
A two-page list of reassurances from the Senate Finance Committee can be read online at: http://dpc.senate.gov/healthreformbill/healthbill51.pdf
Many military retirees and veterans don't believe it. Their skepticism is reinforced by statements from Republicans who oppose the president's health initiative, and by scary e-mails including one from a retired brigadier general who wrongly asserts that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) already has drafted a bill to eliminate TRICARE for Life. It has not.
The House-passed Affordable Health Care for America Act (HR 3962) states in Section 311 that "nothing" in the bill "shall be construed as affecting" authority of the Defense or Veterans Affairs department to provide TRICARE or VA health care. The final compromise is almost certain to include this language to protecting TRICARE and veterans' health care, Capitol Hill sources said.
Behind the anxiety of many older retirees is memory of a broken promise over free health care for life, said Joe Barnes, national executive director of the Fleet Reserve Association. That, combined with the endless loop of misinformation on the internet, has deepened concerns, Barnes said.
Joyce Raezer, executive director of the National Military Family Association (NMFA), believes legitimate concerns do remain for the military community.
Health reform plans would create health insurance "exchanges" from which individuals and small business will buy coverage. Raezer wants to know what will happen if participating insurance companies try to entice physicians to be part of these plans by paying fees higher than Medicare allows. TRICARE fees, by law, are tied to Medicare reimbursement rates.
So Raezer worries that TRICARE beneficiaries will see access to civilian providers tighten, particularly access to family physicians who serve as gatekeepers to specialty care.
Told of Raezer's concern, a Democratic aid to the Senate Finance Committee said the Senate bill does include a 10 percent increase in Medicare fees for primary care physicians. Also, she said, insurance exchanges won't compete for providers any differently than insurers do now.
A House staff member who works with TRICARE agreed. Insurers, he said, won't compete by "ratcheting up rates for doctors." Most companies already have large physician networks. The competition will occur in knocking down doctor reimbursements to keep beneficiary premiums low.
Some civilian physicians do turn Medicare and TRICARE patients away because of reimbursement levels, he said. But other doctors prefer TRICARE because it pays most claims fast, "typically within 36 hours of when a claim is submitted versus 240 days for your average health insurance company."

By Moliere
Fall 2001
Scapin was among the last plays Moliere wrote. It seems at first to be a slight play about nothing in particular; yet it bears the marks of a genius of plot construction, and has a sense of language and character that is knowingly comic. That the play is so light-hearted testifies to Moliere's personal courage. At the time it was written his health was already failing, his wife's infidelities were tormenting him, and he was embroiled in a political intrigue at the court of Louis XIV which ended his relationship with his longtime musical collaborator, Jean-Baptiste Lully. The famous inventors of the comedie-ballet never worked together again.
Our production takes its inspiration from the play's premiere before the court of Louis XIV, the Sun King. It opened on May 24, 1671, and ran only seventeen performances. The original stage directions describe it as set in Naples, which is north of Taranto on the Italian coast. To be sure, the style is grounded in the Italian comedy with which Moliere was so familiar, but the Italian setting has no more to do with the play than do the imagined settings of Shakespeare's plays.

525 E Bayshore Rd Redwood City, CA 94063
I take both of my Toyotas to Toyota 101 for service. The service staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they don't try to upsell me constantly on service that I really don't need. Plus, they always wash my car. Highly recommend them!
Kevin O. - Toyota 101 Customer
Nice, simple car dealership with nice, no-pressure service. I bought a Prius that included free service for 2 years and each time I've brought it back they have done a good job. I was also given a complimentary net for my Prius.
Tomas P. - Toyota 101 Customer
Great place to buy a car, better service than my luxury-car dealership (Audi). I bought my Prius here and while all other dealers in the Bay were gouging us on above MSRP prices. Toyota 101 in Redwood City stayed true as a responsible business.
K. L. - Toyota 101 Customer
Don't be fooled by the location of this Toyota and the small lot. They have a large selection behind the building, which you cannot see from the Freeway. After finding my car,I was out of the building WITH MY CAR an hour later!
Sabrina K. - Toyota 101 Customer
I must say our best and easiest car buying experience EVER! I have since, sent a few friends/family members to see Omar since I know they will be getting the best price and customer service you can get!
Gee P. - Toyota 101 Customer
I found Toyota 101 from American Express auto purchasing program. The deal was so great that I purchased a Prius the next day. Much lower than MSRP. Chris Suzuki is the fleet manager. He is professional and patient. He made the whole experience pain free!
Tsaiti C. - Toyota 101 Customer
Why I like Toyota 101? You never feel pressured to make decisions. They walk you through the decision making process, listening to your needs and helping you make the right choices. Jun Javier is awesome!
Mina M. - Toyota 101 Customer
We defined "No Commission Sales". At Toyota 101, our sales people are compensated when you tell us that you are very satisfied. Therefore, we won't be motivated to sell you more car than you need. Our salespeople are thinking more about how much they can satisfy you and fulfill your automotive needs.

Ohio Northern University nursing program accredited
Ohio Northern University's baccalaureate degree program in nursing (BSN) has received a 10-year accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
To receive this distinction, the ONU program met four accreditation standards. The standards include three program quality areas: mission and governance, institutional commitment and resources, and curriculum and teaching learning practices. The fourth is a measure of program effectiveness in student performance and faculty accomplishments.
Susan Montenery, director of the ONU nursing program, said, "This national accreditation demonstrates the collaborative efforts of the University and our students, focusing on a strong commitment to excellence and quality instruction leading to positive student outcomes for our graduates. It is my privilege to work with the dedicated faculty, staff and students here at ONU."
ONU began accepting students into its BSN program in 2005. Today, 137 students are enrolled in the ONU program. The BSN program consists of two tracks: a traditional track that leads to initial preparation as a baccalaureate-prepared registered nurse and an RN-BSN completion track for practicing registered nurses.
CCNE (http://www.aacn.nche.edu/ccne-accreditation) is recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national accreditation agency. The accreditation process is designed to ensure the quality and integrity of baccalaureate and graduate education programs in preparing effective nurses. As a voluntary, self-regulatory process, CCNE accreditation supports and encourages continuing self-assessment by nursing education programs and the continuing growth and improvement of collegiate professional education.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), General Electric Appliances Co., of Louisville, Ky., is voluntarily offering a free repair option in the form of a rewiring for its recalled GE and Hotpoint dishwashers. With the free rewire option, a GE-authorized technician will rewire the slide switch at no cost to consumers. This supplements the original rebate program announced October 19, 1999. The dishwashers have a slide switch that can melt and ignite, presenting a fire hazard. CPSC is aware of approximately 90 incidents associated with these dishwashers. GE manufactured 3.1 million of these dishwashers between 1983 and 1989. In the recall announced last year, GE provided consumers with a rebate toward the purchase of a new dishwasher. CPSC and GE are announcing the supplemental rewiring option to increase the effectiveness of the original program, which has to date been implemented in over 628,000 units. CPSC and GE are cooperating in an effort to reach people who may not have previously come forward. Both the CPSC and GE strongly urge consumers who have not replaced their recalled units under the original rebate program to contact GE right away to schedule a free rewiring or participate in the original rebate program. Until the dishwasher has been rewired, consumers should keep the dishwasher door unlatched at all times to prevent the flow of electrical current that creates a risk of fire.The slide switch allows consumers to choose between heated drying and "energy saver" functions. Over time, the slide switch can melt and ignite, presenting a fire hazard. In the free rewiring program announced today, GE-authorized technicians will rewire the slide switch, eliminating it from the electrical circuit and thereby eliminating the fire risk.There have been approximately 90 incidents of fire, smoking and melted switches, 14 of which included fires that spread beyond the dishwasher. Approximately 10 incidents have occurred since the recall announcement. No injuries have been reported.The GE and Hotpoint dishwashers involved are models beginning with GSD500D, GSD500G, GSD540, HDA467, HDA477, or HDA487 with a serial number that has a second letter of A, M, R, S, T, V or Z (for example, BM12345). The model and serial numbers are located on a rectangular label that is on either the right or left front edge of the inner tub. The GE or Hotpoint brand name is on the front of the dishwasher.Consumers that have one of these recalled dishwashers should immediately discontinue use, unlatch the door, and contact GE at 1-800- 599-2929 anytime or at www.geappliancerecall.com. .
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.

A seal in Seattle choose a rather unusual place to give birth -- and the whole delivery was caught on camera.
Brian Kaloper, the harbormaster at Elliott Bay Marina, told KOMO-TV in Seattle that he first noticed the seal Monday around 8:30 a.m.
When he went inside his office to look at security camera footage, he realized the seal was giving birth.
After the delivery was done, with it being captured on the marina's security camera in its entirety, Kaloper posted the video on YouTube.
He told KOMO-TV that the seal and it's new arrival seem to be doing just fine.
"One of our dock hands saw them this morning and the pup was riding around on mom's back and just having a great time," Kaloper told the station.

How to Grow Garlic
Planting advice for how to grow garlic, recommended varieties and garlic recipes.
A-to-Z Vegetable Guide:
How to Grow Vegetables»
Allium sativum
Greek athletes gobbled garlic before Olympic games to boost their stamina. They knew what modern science has confirmed: Garlic is as healthful as its aroma is pungent.
Hardiness: Grown as an annual.
Planting advice: Autumn planting allows the cloves time to develop roots before winter, which then accelerates growth in spring.
Winter planting is popular in milder regions. Place cloves 2 to 3 inches deep and 3 to 5 inches apart, with the tips pointing up.
In cold regions, cover the soil with several inches of mulch after the ground freezes. You may see green shoots before winter; that's OK. Weed around the bulbs carefully in spring, and water as needed.
Harvest tips: When two-thirds of the tops are dried out, probably in July or August, dig around the bulbs and remove them. Don't pull on the stems. String plants together and hang them to dry. Whole bulbs will keep for months in cool, dry storage.
Recommendations: Artichoke, Silverskin.

Stun gun is excessive forceJanuary 30,2013
In the newspaper article, Vt. AG rules trooper justified in stun gun death, it states that the trooper was justified in his actions towards the man because a person is allowed to use force for protection if they believe they are in immediate danger of bodily harm, meaning self-defense. Since Mr. Mason, the dead man, was not armed and was hit with the stun gun by the trooper after he moved toward the trooper, Mr. Mason must have been very dangerous.
I always thought that police were trained in restraining people who are out of control and then slapping the cuffs on them and hauling them off to the slammer. If necessary, police can smack these violent people over the head with a police baton like the riot police did to the Occupy Wall Street protesters or the Vietnam War protesters from the 1960s. Yes, their heads do bleed, but they live to see another day.
The stun gun that killed Mr. Mason is really the issue here, not the officers conduct. People die from stun guns, so why are they still in use? Police need to restrain violent suspects, not stun gun them to death.

Program Info
Sector Name
Maryland Energy Administration
Expiration Date
Program Type
Personal Tax Credit
Rebate Amount
$0.03/gallon of biodiesel
Maryland allows individuals and corporations to take an income tax credit of $0.03/gallon for purchases of biodiesel used for space heating or water heating. The maximum credit is $500 per year. It may not be refunded or carried over to subsequent years. In order to qualify for the tax credit, the heating oil must be at least 5% biodiesel sourced from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved feedstocks or be accepted under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard. As originally enacted, the credit was only available for purchases made during the 2008 - 2012 tax years, but this was extended by 5 years through June 2018 by S.B. 959 in May 2011. This legislation also modified the definition of qualifying heating oil to insert the language described above pertaining to approved feedstocks and the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard.
Please see the program web site for an application and instructions on claiming this tax credit.

17 again
First off..Happy Labor Day everybody. It is a great holiday, not just because I do not have to be at three of my classes today. It was a refreshing break and long weekend filled with Mountaineer football. We won 33-20 over Liberty. I would have liked a better score but hey a wins a win.
Now in the case of the Pirates on Sunday a loss was certainly not a loss.
The Cubs beat the Pirates 4-2 at PNC Park. Nothing new, I've seen it before, so have every other Pirate fan….for the past 17 years.
The Pirates loss was their 82nd of the year. They have ensured a losing record for this year, mirroring every single season from those past 17 years.
Now Brandon Moss looks pretty upset there in the dugout. I am upset too. But sorry Brandon you've only been here 2 years, I've been around for all 17 years of the losing streak.
I hate talking about it, because there is really nothing to say. There are some questions though. Such as, "Why do I put up with it?" and "When will it end?"
As a die hard Pirates fan I feel betrayed and scorned for so long. We have been promised winners, but never recieved them. The 90's through never ending losing seasons at Three River Stadium were brutal. I was young and immature and just loved being at the park. I fell in love with players such as Al Martin, Jason Kendall, Jose Guillen and Mark Smith. Those guys were my heroes. I felt like they were the superstars of not just Pittsburgh but all of the MLB. I was blind by the lossess but never really realized what else was out there.
For years management has preched and preached that once the Pirates shifted from TRS to PNC Park the sun would come out and we would be competitive. Well its been nearly ten years at the mose beautiful park in baseball and while there has been sunny days the losing drags on. Who knows how long it will come. Im hopefull soon, but I've been hopefull and let down in the past. But theres never going to be a time when I say I'm Done. I'm here for the bad and I know there will be good. And I will proudly be here for it. Its tought to swallow now but when the time comes for winning it will make it so much sweeter.
Thats a great drawing there on the right isn't it? Now for the guy on the left I can't really give him any credit. We have the best NFL team right next door. Why be a Detroit fan?
However, he makes a great point. People need to realize what us Pirates fans go through. We have the Steelers and Penguins in the city too yes. But the impact that the Pirates have had on people's lives in second to none.
Its baseball everyone loves baseball. People grow up with the sport, idolize the players and pretend to be their heroes in little league. Baseball is the pastime of America and that will never change.
I'm sure wherever you are you see Steelers fans. In every part of the country, they are there. Pittsburgh was a hub of national attention in the 60's and 70's. With mills and factories booming and the Steelers and Pirates dominating their respective leagues everyone knew the teams and wore their black and gold with great pride.
When the mills shut down work was hard to find and citizens of the Burgh dispersed across the country. They took their love of the Steelers with them but left their Buccos by the wayside. Partially because of the ongoing success of the Steelers and the pitifullness of the Pirates. If the Pirates and Steelers switched positions in the sports rankings I'm sure people would be all for the Pirates year in and year out. Its a shame that the losses make people jump ship, but it is completely understandable.
The jokes get old just like the losing. I've stated my confidence that the next 3 years will be special for the Pirates. History has repeated itself for far too long, its time for a change or at leats one winning season. I want to know what October baseball is like. I want September to be fun for a change. There will be nothing like competitive regular season games this time of the year.
I've been here long enough, so many fans deserve better for all the sacrifice and pride we put in. It's about time something happens.

It must be frustrating to have a team that doesn't seem to win. Last season the Dodgers goal was to play .500 ball and they ended up winning the western division. I remember how everyone was down on my team. I kept supporting them and going to the games. They turned it around. The slumps lasted a long time. No one would have believed that the Dodgers would go anywhere. I couldn't bear to read the blogs because they were so negative. I didn't write a blog last year, this year is my first year. Everytime I posted a positive comment I would get stomped to the ground. I decided that I wanted to have my own blog and just focus on the positive. The other blogs were negative even when the Dodgers were winning. That I couldn't stomach. I love your blog. You have a lot of positive energy. Keep writing. Your Pirates will meet my Dodgers soon. Maybe I can get some autographs for you if I am lucky. I hope your Pirates don't beat up my guys.
Enjoy the holiday!!!
Just think that when your team does make the playoffs, or overachieves in some way, it will be that much sweeter knowing where you came from. What I would hate, is to be the Yankees. Winning divisions, year after year, with the highest payroll. To me, their achievements are less dramatic and less monumental in that case.
It has been 16 years since the Jays won in 1993 and I never made a playoff game!. I was only 12, but I wasted the better part of my young manhood praying that the Jays would give me a second chance to see some fall baseball. I can relate with you somewhat. Don't worry though, we'll get there …. eventually lol.
Hey man, don't let the jokes get to you. The funny thing about sports, is that every team has their year in due time. I firmly believe that. (Well… with the exception of the Cubs lol.) *I'm kidding!* I was a Patriots fan waaaay back in 3rd grade, when they were rolling with Bledsoe, Martin, etc… Now that they've won 3 rings, and remain one of the best teams in the league, people think I'm a 'front-runner.' I still have the old jerseys to prove it, (Terry Glenn for example,) but that's not what I'm getting at. You don't intend to give up on the Pirates any time soon, and I'm convinced that we'll see them win a World Series again in the near future. It's only so long that a team can have tough luck, (with the exception of the Cubs lol… whoops. Said it again…) – and they'll have their day. Did you read what I had posted about the Forbes Magazine 'investigation' ?? I found that pretty interesting, eventhough I didn't buy the entire thing "hook, line, and sinker." A lot of it made sense though…
It is about time, I would most agree.
And what Homer says about the Yankees is definitely true. My sister was just about ready to slash her wrists when the Yankees (gasp) didn't make the playoffs last year, and when they lose a game it's dreadful. It was like the Yanks not making the playoffs was unthinkable or against the rules. Hell, when they won the wild card she was devastated.
Poor Brandon Moss. It's tough when there isn't much you can do. It's also tough when everyone on your team is traded away. If the Pirates kept most of the team around for a year, they might figure out how to maximize the talent that they have.
I think the Pirates are going to turn it around, in a similar fashion to the Phillies did in the last few years, it was all Eagles in Philadelphia, now the Eagles are chasing the Phillies… Pirates get the chance to play spoilers in the NL West race in September, I think that is fun to watch too, no matter who it is rooting to see if you can impact the outcome of other teams in the hunt can sometimes be very satisfying….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
While it might not have been 17 losing season's in a row – I've been through many, many bad seasons with the Red Sox (I'm a lot older then you!) and it is very frustrating! We want our teams to win – we have been promised that they will win – and I would have imagine the endless trades only make the pain worse. The Pirates are fortunate to have a fan like you!
"Keep the faith" might sound like a tired cliche – but it is what we fans do.
My team hasn't been around for 17 years, but with the exeption of last year…I hear ya. It's time for the Pirates to get a great lineup, a few good pitchers and give the fans something to cheer about. It's time. (and there's no feeling like it!)
Hey – I was just in the 'Burgh last week. I wrote a little post that captures some personal Pittsburgh Pirates history related to my father-in-law. Thought you might be interested.
I'm sorry about 17 seasons in a row. That stinks. The Pirates have a great history and tradition. Hopefully someone will infuse some money into the organization.
Go, Steelers!
P.S. Great post by the way. You make a great point about baseball being the sport that everyone loves and that is true. As kids we do idolize those players and that does make a big difference. My hat is off to you for keeping the pride in your Pirates. You are a true fan. And when the Pirates re-emerge and win another WS, you will be on top of the world like I was in 2004. The good times feel great when you've suffered though the bad times.
Awesome title to the post…lol. Sorry your team is doing so horribly. But look at the bright-side: at least your team doesn't posess the label "Only team to never win a playoff series" like my Rangers.
Hang in there.
Though, the Indians have been to the playoffs and have had two winning seasons in the past 7 seasons.. They have not won a world series since 1948. The City of Cleveland has not seen a Championship — out of the 3 major sports– since the Browns, that should tell you something. At least you have the Steelers and the Penguins. (if you're a fan of them) Maybe the Cavs can treat some of the deserving fans of Cleveland to a Championship this season:) Best of luck to the pirates.
How is school going?? Keep posting about your Pirates. I miss your posts.
You're a great baseball fan, a truly great and loyal one. The Pirates should know this. They're lucky to have fans like you.
I hope your Pirates don't kick our butts tonight. Wish you were here tonight cuz there are free Dodger Dogs.
I am old enough to have seen Willie Stargerl and the great team you had back then. Let's hope that someday the Pirates will return to those happy days. I was thrilled to be in Pittsburgh last year and take pictures of the statues around the stadium.
And you are right you have a great team in the Steelers next door. a couple of years ago, I went to a taping of "The Best Dam Sport show" when they had Franco Harris and Terry Bradshaw." Terry was hilarious and Franco, well a little shy. It was great seeing them and remembering back when I used to watch them play.
Cheer up matt! We miss your posts but we know school comes first! Hope you are doing well.

Report: Property taxes go up less than 1 percent
Property tax bills being mailed to homeowners this month
A new report says property taxes across Wisconsin are increasing less than 1 percent on average.
The Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance report says net property taxes statewide are increasing seven-tenths of a percent. That is up from a two-tenths of a percent increase last year, but less than the 2.8 percent and 4.2 percent increases from the two previous years.
Taxpayers Alliance president Todd Berry says a major reason for the small increase this year is state-imposed revenue and levy limits on local governments.
Property tax bills are being mailed to homeowners this month. While the average increase is low, bills vary widely based on an individual homeowner's circumstances. The largest users of property taxes in Wisconsin are K-12 schools, municipalities, counties and technical college districts.

Ladies and gentleman, Elvis has left the building.
Wait, that wasn't Elvis. It was Michael Jackson. Or was it Eminem?
During Gordie Brown's "star-studded" show, you never know who may be coming or going. With a quick delivery of song- and joke-filled impressions, Bob Dylan might leave the building only to return as George W. Bush.
Brown pulls off his many impersonations of legends, (both dead and alive), dressed all in black, with limited props and a musical flair. He often rewrites the lyrics of popular songs resulting in hilarious consequences.
Commenting that singer Neil Young is no longer that young, Brown alters the rocker's lyrics for "Heart of Gold" from, "I want to live, I want to give" to "I was a stoner, now I need a donor." Willie Nelson's "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" becomes "To All the Plants I've Smoked Before." The Rolling Stone's Mick Jagger, meanwhile, sings about the flapping of his enormous lips and his likeness to a big mouth bass.
Not all Brown's impersonations are musical. For instance, with the movie "Batman" employing so many different actors in the lead role over the years, Brown takes a series of celebrities through his own version of "Batman" auditions. Among the competitors are Robin Williams, Woody Allen, Alan Thicke and Jay Leno. Even Bill Cosby throws his hat in the ring, offering up his Jell-o pudding as a deadly weapon against the Joker.
Oftentimes, Brown interacts with the audience in one character or another. So, make sure you don't show up late or get up to go to the bathroom during the performance -- or you may end up being mocked by Bill Clinton.
Brown puts on a highly energized show that has audiences laughing in their seats or rolling in the aisles, begging for mercy.
As his moon-walking Michael Jackson puts it: "Don't make me laugh. My nose is going to fall off!"

HANCOCK, NY — From noon on June 28 to noon on June 29, the Upper Delaware BioBlitz was held on a 63.5 acre tract, the "Gales Property" just downstream of the Delaware River West Branch confluence in Wayne County, PA. This property is owned by the Norcross Wildlife Foundation, and executive director Karen Outlaw, explained that this was the first bioblitz ever held in Wayne County or anywhere else in the Upper Delaware Region. Steven Schwartz, who organized this event, was inspired by a bioblitz he attended in Monroe County, PA in 2012 and he thought that the rich habitat of the Upper Delaware would yield even more species of flora and fauna.
A "bioblitz," a term first coined by National Park Service (NPS) naturalist Susan Rudy in 1996 during the first such event, is a "snapshot" of all species found in a target area in a set time (usually 24 hours). Because of the survey methods and the time allocation in a bioblitz, not every species in a target area will be observed, but scientists can look at survey results and determine if a more thorough study for a particular target species is warranted. A bioblitz is also designed so that the public can interact with the scientists by attending presentations or collecting samples and submitting samples for identification. Findings are presented so that the public (especially kids) can easily understand what is being presented. With this in mind, Schwartz got the ball rolling and a 12-person steering committee was formed. Funding and other resources were provided by several agencies and organizations, such as the Delaware Highlands Conservancy and the National Park Service. Volunteers were recruited to start days before and after the event to tackle the set-up and tear-down of tents, parking and all the other things that make an event like this work. Thanks to the efforts of all these folks and groups, the "boots hit the ground" on that drizzly Friday morning with high water in rivers and streams from torrential rain, and the Upper Delaware BioBlitz got underway with sample collection and setting up for the public programs.
The sample collection and science arm of the Upper Delaware BioBlitz was comprised of nine teams of biologists in nine fields of expertise: aquatic macroinvertebrates, birds, botany, fish, fungi, herps, invertebrates, mammals, and mosses and lichens. The teams collaborated with each other; teams using nets in waterways captured fish, insects, crayfish and turtles and other herps with a single net. The high water curtailed some activities along the riverbanks and streams at first, but alternate sites were found and falling stream/river levels got sampling back on track for affected teams. The high, swift current helped in a few ways; yearling trout were found in abundance sheltering in high grass along the river. The weather got sunny after early morning and most of the teams were out collecting or surveying. Saturday was mostly clear and seasonable; a perfect day to be out in the field. Visitors who came to visit were treated to many interesting presentations and displays, and were able to participate in some activities such as mushroom hunting or birding walks. All manner of plant and animal life were on display at the individual team tables and team scientists were there to answer any questions. Most of the living specimens not needed for later analysis in the lab were released back into the wild at event's end.
As far as the results of the Upper Delaware BioBlitz, here is a statement from Steve Schwartz as posted a day after the event and shortly before this article went to press:
In all "972 distinct species were identified at the 2013 Upper Delaware BioBlitz according to the preliminary tally at the site at the close of the collection period at noon Saturday. Some teams had specimens they were going to continue to key out to identify back in their labs. The final tally will be well over 1,000 species for the 24-hour event. Thanks to everyone who participated including the teams of scientists, volunteers, sponsors, donors and event steering committee."
Here are the preliminary species counts by team:
Amphibians and reptiles, 16; aquatic macroinvertebrates, 60; birds, 54; botany, 222; fish, 27; fungi, 47; invertebrates, 457; mammals, 9; mosses and lichens, 80.
For more info and updated results, visit the Upper Delaware BioBlitz website at www.upperdelawarebioblitz.com [1] or their Facebook page by searching for Upper Delaware BioBlitz. This is indeed a significant number for a 63.5 acre tract of land and is indicative of the rich wildlife diversity of this stretch of river we call the Upper Delaware.

/ Conservation Delivery Streamlining Initiative (CDSI ) Initiative 3
The 2007 CASPeR project identified several areas where NRCS' natural resource science, data, and associated tools are not well aligned with conservation planning processes. This Initiative will:
Ensure that NRCS' Resource Concerns and their associated criteria are designed to support conservation planning and decision-making in the field.
Ensure that planning policy is clear and results in science-based conservation plan products.
Integrate a process that describes the effects from conservation assistance at the farm level.
Integrate an area-wide assessment process into NRCS' delivery of conservation assistance to better prioritize and treat resource concerns, and more effectively and efficiently serve clients.
STRATEGY 3.1 - NRCS will establish Resource Concerns and Planning Criteria that are clear, repeatable, scalable, field-oriented, and science-based.
Establishing a list of Resource Concerns and Planning Criteria that effectively supports planning, and formalizing their use in the planning process, will reinforce the science-based delivery of technical assistance and provide enhanced accountability for financial assistance.
NRCS will reestablish Resource Concerns as the foundation for technical and financial assistance activities by:
Redefining a set of Resource Concerns that more effectively supports the on-site business process for identifying and assessing resource problems, and formulating treatment alternatives.
Introducing the concept of "Planning Criteria" to identify a treatment level that meets NRCS planning standards, with specific definitions and criteria to ensure their utility in planning. NRCS Planning Criteria must be:
Objective and repeatable, minimizing the subjectivity in field determinations
Simple and quick to apply in a field setting, to the extent possible
Site-based, based on client-controlled factors, and location specific
Scalable, when applicable
Scientifically credible
Objective and repeatable, minimizing the subjectivity in field determinations
Simple and quick to apply in a field setting, to the extent possible
Site-based, based on client-controlled factors, and location specific
Scalable, when applicable
Scientifically credible
Incorporating land use and client objectives into the Planning Criteria as applicable in order to streamline the process.
Incorporating a tiered assessment approach and a minimum set of Resource Concerns for assessment by land use.
Introducing a landscape assessment concept into the planning criteria to address resource concerns where the assessment and identification of treatments span multiple land uses.
STRATEGY 3.2 - Area-wide assessments and approaches will be integrated into the Agency's conservation assistance business processes.
Working directly on the land with farmers, ranchers, and other land users must always be the foundation for conservation assistance. NRCS' success is dependent upon our working relationship with our clients. While on-site conservation planning is NRCS' unique niche, it is also clear that many environmental issues are not easily evaluated or treated with a single farm approach. If NRCS is to effectively utilize its technical and financial assistance programs to address resource issues it must recognize that conservation assistance starts long before the client walks through NRCS' door.
NRCS' conservation delivery must consider the wider geography or landscape where its clients operate. Utilizing resource inventory data, models, and other sources of information to conduct analyses and assessments at watershed, regional, or other landscape-scales provides NRCS a framework to establish conservation priorities for technical and financial assistance, leverage the interest and resources of partners, identify alternative ways to serve customers more effectively, streamline funding processes, and enhance environmental outcomes. Area-wide assessments are required for NRCS to fully integrate an automated ranking and potentially a continuous selection process (see Strategy 4.2).
STRATEGY 3.3 - Conservation effects will be integrated into NRCS planning tools in order to (1) enhance client decision-making, (2) transparently report performance outcomes, (3) streamline FA ranking and selection processes, and (4) support NRCS' potential role in environmental market programs.
Describing the effects or outcomes from NRCS programs has historically proven to be a challenge. Since NRCS does not have the authorities or resources to implement a comprehensive monitoring program for its activities, the Agency largely depends upon describing the effects for most resource issues in a qualitative manner (e.g. acres benefiting from practices that address water quality).
Integrating effects will be accomplished with a short- and long-term approach:
NRCS will implement a short term Conservation Practice Physical Effects (CPPE)-based strategy for incorporating effects into the conservation planning business processes through the Conservation Desktop and the Mobile Planning Tool.
NRCS will implement a longer term strategy to transparently integrate field scale models to estimate effects for a number of resource concerns.
Effects will become a standard part of the conservation planning process and final plan product, through an automated conservation effects statement.

Usually when a wall is tagged with graffiti, it's a man's doing. Enough of that, decided feminist artist Stephanie Rond. She took to the streets.
"I was just interested in the challenge of doing something that was so male dominated, and I also like the idea of art as a non-product," Rond said. "I like challenging what we think of as art. Just because art is in a free environment, does that make it less of art?"
Rond — a luminary within Columbus' vibrant visual arts community — asks permission before pasting up spray-painted paper depicting children, flowers or, recently, a pink mermaid on top of a mountain of gifts.
She calls her outdoor art "street gifts," and she embraces the idea of the gift economy — giving to other people so that you can feel rewarded. For new project "Presents," she paints presents onto small wooden blocks. She hands them out at her exhibit openings, encouraging recipients to take photos of them in creative places and submit them to her website.
"The idea is just take a piece of free art, something you didn't have to pay for, and put it in an environment that either you love or you think is creative and give it back," she explained. "It's the idea of slow down and think about your environment and appreciate where you are and what you have, and that we're humans and not consumer byproducts of marketing."
Last year Rond invented a very different way for others to be creative: She founded a dollhouse art gallery called S.Dot, which sits in her dining room and hosts monthly exhibitions of tiny works by local artists.
Rond recently debuted Rigsby Contemporary Museum in a second dollhouse — a Kaleidoscope House donated by Kent and Tasi Rigsby. And a third small-scale exhibition space, Painted Lady Feminist Museum, will debut in December at Ray's Living Room as part of CAW's small works show.
"It's the idea of, 'Let's all just slow down and have some fun,'" Rond said of her growing collection of miniatures.

January 29, 2014 —
LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — Morgan Outdoors and the Livingston Manor library will host the Outdoor Enthusiasts' Film Series with monthly screenings February through April, followed by discussion and refreshments. Viewers will travel to Mt. Everest; from Anchorage to Nome, AK; and to Florida in three seasonally-selected outdoor films. The free screenings, open to the public, will be held at Morgan Outdoors, 46 Main St. Reservations are strongly suggested, as seating is limited. Call 845/439 5507. First come, first served.
Saturday, February 1, 6:30 p.m.
"Everest IMAX" (1998) is the compelling true story of a team of climbers, including American Ed Viesturs, who ascended Everest in 1996. The film, narrated by actor Liam Neeson, chronicles their successful ascent just days after fellow mountaineers died on the mountain.

It seems that residents of Louisiana are some of the happiest people in the country, according to a new report released by the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research.
A new research paper, published using data from the National Bureau for Economic Research and co-authored by Harvard Kennedy School Professor Edward Glaeser, is shedding light on the nation's happiness. Residents of bigger cities, like New York, make more money, but are generally unhappy, according to the study.
Take a look at the happiest - and unhappiest - cities in the U.S.
5. Detroit
4. Milwaukee
3. Louisville, Ky.
2. Pittsburgh
1. New York
Professor Glaeser told Yahoo Finance, "No self respecting New Yorker is going to tell an interviewer that they are completely satisfied with their life. Culture certainly has some part of [the results in the report]."
5. Baton Rouge
4. Naples, Florida
3. Lafayette, Louisiana

For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a guild rat, he's grown up in the slums, and learned to judge people quickly - and to take risks. Risks like apprenticing himself to Durzo Blint.
But to be accepted, Azoth must turn his back on his old life and embrace a new identity and name. As Kylar Stern, he must learn to navigate the assassins' world of dangerous politics and strange magics - and cultivate a flair for death.
But when he learns that Logan might actually be alive and in hiding, Kylar is faced with an agonizing choice: will he give up the way of shadows forever and live in peace with his new family, or will he risk everything by taking on the ultimate hit?
But when Guile discovers he has a son, born in a far kingdom after the war that put him in power, he must decide how much he's willing to pay to protect a secret that could tear his world apart.

7 Aerospace Trades Ahead of Earnings, Sequestration
Like my post published Tuesday, 7 Conglomerates to Trade in Earnings Season , if you are already long these stocks, you should consider shifting from a "buy and hold" investment strategy to a "buy and trade" strategy.
With aerospace stocks you have the volatility in reacting to Q4 earnings and you have the risk of sequestration spending cuts that will be negotiated later in the quarter.
In a "buy and trade" strategy you take advantage of ups and downs in the price of a stock using GTC Limit Orders to buy weakness to a value level, and to sell strength to a risky level. With aerospace stocks, look for volatility vs. quarterly earnings and sequestration decisions in Washington.
The aerospace sector is 3.9% overvalued and there are 11 of 16 sectors that are more overvalued. The seven companies I am profiling today report their earnings between Jan. 23 and Feb. 8, and I will be on the alert for upgrades and downgrades between now and then.
Here, I show the current EPS estimates from Wall Street and will compare these numbers to more current estimates during the weeks these companies report.
Three of the seven stocks are rated a strong buy according to www.ValuEngine.com and the other four are buy rated. Only two are undervalued but by just 4.4% and 0.7%. The other five are overvalued by 1.9% to 8.8%. One stock is down 5.8% over the last twelve months, and one is up just 2.6%. The other five have gained between 8.0% and 24.5% over the last twelve months. Gains over the next twelve months are projected to be between 7.0% and 14.5%. The twelve month trailing P/E ratios are favorable to reasonable between 9.4 and 15.8. All are above their 200-day simple moving averages so reversion to the mean is an issue in 2013.
Reading the Table
OV/UN Valued : The stocks with a red number are undervalued by this percentage. Those with a black number are overvalued by that percentage according to ValuEngine.
VE Rating : A "1-Engine" rating is a strong sell, a "2-Engine" rating is a sell, a "3-Engine" rating is a hold, a "4-Engine" rating is a buy and a "5-Engine" rating is a strong buy.
Last 12-Month Return (%): Stocks with a red number declined by that percentage over the last 12 months. Stocks with a Black number increased by that percentage.
Forecast 1-Year Return : Stocks with a red number are projected to decline by that percentage over the next 12 months. Stocks with a black number are projected to move higher by that percentage over the next 12 months.

Los Angeles Dodgers 2012 Offseason Recap and Preview
For the Dodgers, it was the year of the star player. First there wa Andre Eithier making noise with his big hitting streak at the beginning of the year:
Then there was Matt Kemp with extraordinary MVP-type season:
Finally, who could forget the amazing season Clayton Kershaw had that won him the Cy Young Award:
Grade: C+
Notable Additions:
(That is actually a picture from a game that I went to, I made sure it was specifically for the guest I had during that game, because he almost called a no-hitter before the game started. So, Chris, as in Cositore, if you are reading this, that picture is for you.) Chris Capuano, Todd Coffey, Mark Ellis, Jerry Hairston Jr., Aaron Harang, Adam Kennedy, and Matt Treanor.
Notable Subtractions:
Hiroki Kuroda, Rod Barajas, Casey Blake, Jonathan Broxton, Jamey Carroll, Hong-Chih Kuo,and Vicente Padilla.
Why?: This is a pretty sticky situation to try and decipher. No, not because of the whole "sale of the team" thing, but because the Dodgers rid themselves of two guys that, if they perform up to what the have shown previously, could make this a very bad offseason for them. Those two would be: Jonathan Broxton and Vicente Padilla. Think about it, if those guys get back to how they were not too long ago, the Dodgers would have gotten rid of a front-to-middle of the rotation starter and a bona fide closer.
Even outside of the offseason AND the sale of the team situation, the Dodgers are a mystery. Take Andre Eithier for example, this is a guy that we have seen hit 30 HRs in a season and drive in 100 runs before. If he does this last year, the Dodgers are probably in 2nd place in their division. He is just one example, but this team could easily be a contender in the division if all the players on their team matched what they have shown they can be. I realize that any team would be better if they did so, but it seems to apply to the Dodgers much more so than to any other team (last year the team I ascribed this trait to was the Arizona Diamondbacks).
Predicted Record Range: 81-86 wins
2 Comments
I am rooting for Kuroda-san, Padilla & Broxton to do well but if they do, it will also hurt that they are not doing it for the Dodgers. Broxton is the long shot here but I so want him to do well. He is a home grown product that I followed since the minor league. Anyway, love that you use the full name of Los Angeles in your tags. Not too many people know it.
Mis mas sinceras condolences por la perdida de tu papa. No sabia que hablas Espanol. La razon porque el dia de el Padre is 3/19 en algunas paices es que es dia de St Joseph. -Emma

Walter Baum
Head of Analytical Information Systems at Axel Springer AG
Unfolding daily savings
Europe's biggest newspaper unfolds daily sales forecasts to control costs
Bild, Europe's largest daily newspaper, boasts a circulation of 3.5 million, while its Sunday edition, Bild am Sonntag, sells 6 million copies. To manage numbers that big, German publisher Axel Springer AG builds demand forecasts with SAS that show precisely how many copies each kiosk will sell from one day to the next. That way, vendors avoid selling out too early while the publisher avoids costly excess.
In addition to Bild, Axel Springer owns 230 publications, including Computer Bild, the best-selling computer magazine in Europe, and Sport Bild, Europe's biggest sports magazine. With 12 million readers each day, Axel Springer relies on predictive analytics to control costs and manage sales risk.
"For us, there is no real alternative to SAS on the market."
Walter Baum
Smarter insights, smarter decisions
The publisher relies on easy access to accurate demand forecasts to make smarter decisions about supplies and inventory. Forecasts for each sales location help Axel Springer set targets for returns and sell-outs. By analyzing sales data in a time series, the publisher can adjust those targets and clarify factors that influence sales.
"Holidays are an important influence factor," says Walter Baum, the publisher's Head of Analytical Information Systems. "Sales figures skyrocket in vacation regions during the summer months – whether on the Baltic Sea or on Majorca – sometimes dramatically. And during the IAA in Frankfurt, even the occasional customer reaches for the automotive issue Auto Bild. The more precisely we can foresee these types of fluctuations, the more profitable business will be."
Finding the connections
In addition to forecasting sales trends, data mining reveals hidden connections among data from different sources. For example, the demographic characteristics of a neighborhood play as important a role as convenient access to kiosks and the range of products they sell.
"We get answers to questions we had not even asked ourselves yet," says Baum. "This puts us in a position to continuously improve our processes."
The ability to combine different approaches, technologies and functions in a single source is unique to SAS, says Baum. "For us," he says, "there is no real alternative to SAS on the market."
Stock each vendor with just enough copies of Europe's best-selling daily newspaper to meet demand yet avoid costly excess.
Reliable newspaper deliveries promote customer loyalty, while fewer returns increase profitability.

Great boots...but the size actually runs small. Had to give the first order to my wife, and order one size higher.
I like the rain boots because of the rubber soles, most others don't have them. They are tall enough to go over the calf of your leg and zip tight.Although the add said that sizes run large the ones I ordered did not fit my 7.5 boot, but they did fit my wife, so I ordered a size larger than before and they fit just fine. My wife is proud of her new rain boots. Floyd
Poor durability. The left zipper tab (plastic) pulled off the second time I used them and the right boot tore at the seam the third time. Living in Washington I still use them and they still work fairly well but I cannot see them lasting much longer. In my opinion, they are not worth the money spent. I will certainly not purchase this product again.
Great boots...but the size actually runs small. Had to give the first order to my wife, and order one size higher.
These are great rain boots; easy to get on and off and high enough that even those few little leaks that come up under your rain suit can't make it to your jeans! I don't know what those dang elastic stirrups under the boot are for, though?!?
The rainboots arrived in time for a trip from Dallas to Brenham, Tx and back. The return trip was in the rain. My feet were kept completely dry but the leggings of the rainboots kept slipping down. This caused the foot part to wear loosly. This was not such a problem while I was riding but walking in them was a bit of an issue. The point of the purchase was to keepo my feet dry. This they did very well.
Good product, but the sizes run very small. A 8.5 Harley boot would barely fit in with a lit of struggle. Not something I am willing to do during a rain storm.
I have bought 2 pairs of these rain boots, one for me and one for my wife. I looked at other boots and found that others don't have rubber soles and are to shot up your leg. I have had these on in a very hard rain but my feet and legs under my rain suit stayed completely dry. If I ever need to replace them, it will be the same brand from J&P Cycles. Floyd
Fit perfectly! Was afraid they'd be too small after reading other reviews.
These boots fit well. They are comfortable and are very easy to put on. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pair of rain boots
Great Product
They are good, but I had to air them out for two weeks because of the smell.
Nice light boot covers & compact for stowing. Heavy rain after 2 hours my boots were barely damp. Definitely a good product.
These work great! They are easy to put on in a hurry and the rubber soles help a lot. Be sure to order a size bigger if you are inbetween 2 sizes as these DO RUN SMALL!
I recently bought these Over Boots and have tried them on. Fit OK but have not had any need to use them yet. They appear to be of good quality and I expect them to work fine for my purposes.
Yep, buy one size larger. Otherwise, well constructed and easy to put on (the strap goes over the top).
Haven't needed them yet but everyone's right about the fit--go one size larger.
Order 2 sizes bigger run very small
The boots appear to be satisfactory but they smell so bad I have to leave them on a shelf in my garage away from other riding gear. You could smell them before I opened the shipping carton. Is this normal?
we got to use them for the first time today and they were great.
Great covers at the right price. Make sure you ORDER 1 SIZE LARGER. Read that in other reviews and it paid off. Thye fit perfectly over my boots, and compress down well to fit in my pony express bag.
It's nice to be able to stay dry from my shoulders to my toes now. Wet soggy feet are just a nasty feeling. easy on and off are great.
Right price - very reasonable. Well sealed and loose enough at the top of the boot for someone with large calves. The straps are questionable though as they are pretty tight. I see this as a possible weak element of the boot - could rip where attached to the boot over time as the material weathers. Time will tell.
Dry feet are a good thing, these covers work. Order one size larger than you think you need.
Exactly what I ordered and shipping was fast!
Really Great, but order 1(one) size larger than normal size.
I had to use these boots in CO. on my way to Sturgis they worked very well.
They fit great over my boots and I have recommended them to others already. Nothing worse than wet or damp feet.
A little difficult to get on if you are already wet, but helped keep some rain out.
Rode in some very heavy rain and my boots were completely dry!
Boot appears to fit good. Haven't had rain since receiving them. They do look and feel very comfortable.
Picked these up before I rode up for the Tomahawk Open House in Northern Wisc. and what a life(boot) saver. They take a little work to get on so the sides are up and your foot is in the bottom. I liked the zipper on the side which made it easier for that and the elastic, Velcro on the top kept it sealed on the top. I wear a size 9 Harley steel toe boot that fit inside the rubber soled lip that kept the shoe from sliding around inside.
Great rain boots - just what I wanted. Thanks !
Total boot coverage with a rubber sole makes them a good idea for heavy rains. Next size up is definitely the way to go. Easy on and off.
Good Quailty, Good price
Great for the price. Dry while riding, the top could use some elastic to stay up better. Rode an Ultra during some pretty serious rain on the way to Daytona, feet were completely dry. Not good for walking, but great for riding in the rain.
I tried several different pair of rain boots to keep me feet dry. Most are very difficult and time consuming to put on. But these are so easy to put on and they really work. Thanks J&P cycles for having the best of the best.
These boots were the first pair I've found that actually fit the size of foot stated! Most others,IE, HD, and others,boots had to be 2 sizes larger in order to fit over my riding boots. They are easy to put on and take off and pack easily into a saddle bag!
Worked well - kept feet dry
Dry feet are a good thing, these covers work. Order one size larger than you think you need.
we got to use the boots on a road trip they performed excellent no rain got in and were easy to walk in unlike other over shoes
Haven't had to use them yet, thank god
Worked fine on the last trip I took in the rain. Easy to get on and off. Just not real sure how long they will last. Pack nicely.
keeps shoes dry
Looked real nice, but wrong size. Returned them for proper size which was easy to do
Perfect fit. Love these rain boots/covers.
Good quality, the rubber could be thinner or other material
Great boot. Easy to put on when caught in a sudden down pour!
They fit well over my size 13 boots!!!
This rain gear does fit well and looks and feel great and I look forward to using them. They have a better traction surface than expected. But the pair that I got just do fit my size 12 boot. They did not run large as described in the description.
I purchased the Rivco Rain Boots for rain and cold protection, and although the boots did provide good protection, the quality and durability of the material was poor. The boot ripped up along the zipper the second time I put them on. I would not waste my money on these boots again.
we used them for the first timetoday and they were great.
looks great can't wait to ride in the rain!
I am in WA so used these in the rain the day I got 'em. They do allow some water in eventually but were talking a few drops vs. the buckets my feet are usually exposed to. They work well. I think the completely enclosed bottoms are a plus with kepping water out as well as keeping my feet pretty dang warm (almost too warm!). So far I am fairly pleased with performance but can't speak to durability yet. They seem fairly sturdy, I ordered a size over so I wouldn't have to stress the material out and I think that was a good call.
Great for all the rain we seen to have, nice to be able to keep my lower legs and boots dry.
Great price and they didn't leak.
In my earlier/previous review I could not speak to durability and now I can. The boots lasted me a little over a month before the right boot began to separate at the stiching where the elastic band, top material, and rubber sole came together. They still keep (most of) the rain out, they still retain (some) heat but I am not inpressed with the fact they are coming apart so quickly. Personally, I would not recommand these to anyone who is not willing to buy a pair for every winter/rainy season.
I got 1 size bigger and it fits great and works great. No more wet feet.
Very nice! fits well, rubber sole works great
Good fit, appears waterproof, also warm for colder riding. I was disappointed to find that the zip on one boot broke after a few uses. However the Velcro seal works OK without the zip.
Cant wait to try it in the rain looks fits good
They do exactly what you expect, keep your feet and boots dry.
I have walked in water up to mid-calf (stalled the bike in a deep puddle) and my feet stayed dry!!! Only issue was the seam over the toe came unstitched. My GF sewed it back up and it was good as new. Just gave the old set to a friend and I'm getting another set for myself.
Boots worked great. Kept my feet and legs nice and dry.....great product.
Got caught in a rain storm for 300 miles. It was nice to have dry feet.
zipper broke first time used
Fit nicely over my size 12 boots and I still had the "feel" to shift nicely in a relatively heavy downpour we got caught in at freeway speeds. No leaks yet, but that was the only rain we encountered. These seem to be a nice low price item that pack nicely on a Road King (limited space).
Road through some of the most horrendous rain and the boots did not leak at all.
Shipped on Monday received on Wednesday (Fast Shipping) haven't had to use them yet as there has been no rain, tried them on and they fit great rubber sole helps the boot keep its shape, a bit thinner material than expected, as stated in description they do run a bit small so I ordered 1 full size larger than shoe size and they fit great. will be ordering my girlfriend a pair in the future
Ripped by the seam after the second use. Fit well. Cheap Quality.

ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, on Monday said that it would increase the price of its ATI Radeon HD 5850 graphics processing unit (GPU) by $20+ due to overwhelming demand towards the new graphics cards as well as increased costs of components and logistics.
"Due to the accelerated ramp of the ATI Radeon HD 5800 series products to meet overwhelming demand at a time when a recovering computer industry is limiting supply on some parts, AMD is incurring higher component, memory and logistics costs. While many of our products are impacted by these increased costs to varying degrees, we are only adjusting pricing on the ATI Radeon HD 5850 product at this time," said Jay Marsden, a spokesperson for the company.
Both large suppliers of graphics processors – ATI and Nvidia Corp. – faced rather massive declines in sales of higher-end discrete chips in the last twelve months. As a result, in order to lower the risks, both companies reduced inventory levels and their orders to manufacturers. Furthermore, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) said that the yield of chips made using 40nm fabrication process dropped again to around 40%, which means that the vast majority of 40nm chips ordered go to scrap bin.
Despite of the fact that ATI will increase the price of its Radeon HD 5850 GPU by around $20+, the company believes that the demand towards the chips will not get lower since at present ATI Radeon HD 5000-series is the only DirectX 11 product family on the market today. Moreover, actual graphics cards may not become considerably more expensive.
"We are confident that even with this price change, the ATI Radeon HD 5850 continues to offer outstanding performance per dollar for the enthusiast community [...] On average you could see a $20+ increase by some partners for their Radeon 5800s. Some partners are already charging that for their boards so the increase will be defined and rolled out by partner" added Mr. Marsden.
Originally AMD set manufacturer suggested retail price for ATI Radeon HD 5850 at $399, whereas the cost of the more powerful ATI Radeon HD 5870 was set at $499.
Last year ATI and Nvidia started price war in a bid not to lose market share amid the shrink of the market size. It looks like as the recovery in the computer industry becomes more evident, the price war gets reversed.
ATI Radeon HD 5870 – the world's most powerful GPU to date that was previously known as ATI RV870 or ATI Cypress – features 1600 stream processing units, 80 texture units, 32 render back ends and 256-bit memory bus. The chip incorporates unprecedented number of transistors – 2.15 billion and has maximum compute performance of 2.72TFLOP/s. Another version of the chip – ATI Radeon HD 5850 – sports 1440 stream processors, 72 texture units, 32 render back ends, 256-bit memory bus and peak performance of 2.09TFLOP/s.

Hello ladies!
Hope everyone is good and having a good time nursing!
I have a question about my LO.
Hes just over a month old now (wow - cant beilve hes that old already) and has been consistently gaining - hes up to ten pounds now from 7.1 pounds when we were leaving hospital.
The thing is, he sleeps almost all night now, usually from about one or two am right until eight or nine. And no matter what I do, he will not wake up to eat! If i try too much he just yells at me and tries to fall back asleep on me. Even when I do get him latched he sucks for all of ten seconds, and then passes out again.
He eats excellent the rest of the day, and has lots of wets and poopies (heck , he even pees on me when Im changing his diaper and there sure is lots)
So, should I really be trying to wake him up at this point anymore? Or is it fine to just let him sleep? We cosleep so I wake up when he yowls and is hungry, so I know he is not going without if he truly wants it. He just seemingly would rather snooze than eat at night. Hes been this way since about two weeks TBH.
Do I just have the only baby that has a nighttime sleep this early? Does this even happen?

Obito has shown to have alot of experiece and knowledge.
hashirama seems to be very strong since he was able to defeat Madara.
We dont know....
I would go with Tobi
I'm assuming The Six Paths of Tobi aren't included because they are support from Kabuto who maintains them with Edo Tensei.
So we have Hashirama and his Wood Release vs Gedo Mazou (7 Bijuu) and Obito.
I don't see anything in Hashirama's arsenal which can take down 7 Bijuu and a dematerialzing man with the Rinnegan (yet to show powers if any).
Instinct tells me Hashirama, limited knowledge and futile situation tell me Obito.
Same he wouldn't have the speed to take down obito..or even touch him.
But obito has senju dna along with his sharingan
hashirama no doubt
And wrong section
Welcome to NB :D
Hashirama can't touch Obito.
Here's a quick link to get you started ^_^
Welcome to nb, read the rules and regulations and have fun!
obito has a 3 second gap where he cant phase through things and I think hashirama would definately be able to hit him at this point
Welcome to the base :p
