Duo Flush™ System View the full product details
Everything Needed To Convert Your Toilet To Dual Flush Technology
What is dual flush for toilets?
Water conservation efforts and related government requirements have reduced water consumption in toilets from 5 or more gallons per flush (gpf) through the 1970's, to 3.5 gpf in the 1980's, to the current 1.6 gpf in toilets sold in the US since 1994. Even so, the toilet is still the biggest user of water inside most homes. New legislation requires that only High Efficiency Toilets (HET) using no more than 1.28 gpf be available for sale in the US, and will be mandated by code in many parts of the country - starting with California on January 1, 2014.
Dual Flush technology has been in use for many years in water conscious Australia and other parts of the world but is only just now coming to North America. Dual Flush is simpler and less expensive than other water-saving toilet alternatives and it allows you to choose the right flush each time:
- Less water for liquid waste (half flush)
- More water for solid waste (full flush)
Dual Flush technology allows you to reduce the amount of water used to flush liquids while maintaining the required amount needed to flush solids. Whereas, almost 50% of the toilets still being used in the U.S. and Canada are 3.5 gpf or greater, Dual Flush technology allows the consumer to convert their high capacity toilet to a more efficient water and money saving toilet. Although water savings potential is higher in 3.5 gpf or larger toilets, there are benefits to using the Dual Flush technology in 1.6 and 1.28 gpf toilets. Dual Flush technology will allow you to reduce the water used for a half-flush to 1.1 gallons or lower, offering substantial savings without sacrificing flushing performance.

Get quality instructor education.
Arguably, education is the number one challenge facing health clubs today who are looking to create a successful, long-term Pilates program. Whether hiring a Pilates instructor or arranging trainings for your staff, the key to a successful program is having knowledgeable instructors. The current demand for Pilates instructors has resulted in 'fast track' programs that simply teach too much, too fast. Until recently, the only means of being certified in Pilates was through comprehensive training programs requiring 400 to 600 hours of lecture, teaching and observation. Today, there are many training organizations certifying instructors after as little as eight hours of instruction. The result is a 'watered down' Pilates instructor that teaches choreographed versions of an exercise they don't truly understand. To build a long-term Pilates program that will withstand the scrutiny of sophisticated club members, use only instructors that have completed an extensive Pilates education program.
Getting started.
Identify the needs of your staff and determine how you will train them. It is important for all of your instructors to have the same (or very similar) training backgrounds, in order to maintain consistency within your facility, as well as increase employee retention.
Hiring experienced trainers:
One option to pursue is hiring certified Pilates instructors who have completed a comprehensive education program (400-600 hours of training in a nationally recognized program with a good reputation). An instructor of this caliber can set the tone for your program and act as a mentor to those with less training. Depending on their background, they may also serve a dual role as coordinator for the program, interfacing with the Group Fitness Director on program development, fee structures, etc...
Train existing staff:
While hiring experienced instructors from the outside is an obvious choice, it is not always possible, because they are in high demand. Alternatively, you can create a highly educated staff by choosing a training provider wisely. Whether hosting a program at your site or sending staff to a regional facility for training, look for providers that offer a progressive educational path with a solid foundational program to start. Keep in mind that programming both group classes and private sessions is imperative to maximizing revenue. Private sessions require instructors to have a base of knowledge that allows them to specifically address a clients individual needs, while progressing them both safely and effectively.
National Certification
There are a wide variety of Pilates teacher training providers, varying greatly in terms of quality and content, which have sprung up to meet the increasing demand for instructors. It is important that you take it upon yourself to research what providers meet your goals. The Pilates Method Alliance is the professional association and certifying agency for Pilates teachers and is also a good resource for Pilates teachers. Visit them at www.pilatesmethodalliance.org or call (866)-573-4945.
When evaluating a training program, here are a few tips to follow:
- Ask for the credentials of the program developer(s) and the Teacher Trainers to ensure that the program is credible. You may want to ask for references and talk with others who have recently completed the course.
- Assess the total time commitment, including class work, homework, observation hours, apprenticeships, etc. When comparing programs, be sure to review all content covered.
- Determine how the program is delivered and assess the convenience for you or your staff.
- Don't get hung up on the word "Certification," as this term is misleading. There are programs that offer a certification after as little as 15 hours, while other programs that require 150 hours or more offer Certificates of Completion. The transferable skills your instructors come away with is the important part.
Identify your Goals
You will want to match your training choice with the long term goals of your program. Common categories include:
- Comprehensive Training
Until approximately five years ago, Comprehensive Training was the only instruction available in Pilates. Comprehensive programs cover training on all primary equipment including the Reformer, Mat, Cadillac, Chair, Barrel and other accessories. Typically, these programs take 6–12 months to complete and require 400–600 hours of study and observation, written and practical tests, prerequisite training in Pilates and continuing education requirements.
- Condensed Training Programs
A viable alternative and well suited for clubs training their own instructors. Look for programs that focus strongly on the foundational principles and teach a reasonable amount of material in the timeframe allotted for the course. Programs that teach beginner to advanced exercises in a few weekends are not recommended. Look for a progressive educational path in order to build instructor skills over time. An integrated approach that focuses on teaching new instructors a more complete approach incorporating the Mat, Reformer and other essential Pilates equipment in one compact course is an excellent option.
- Mat Training
Mat Training is the foundation of the entire Pilates Method and can be offered with or without small accessories. The mat is an ideal entry into Pilates. Training programs vary in quality and time commitments, so be sure to check carefully. Students of mat training can opt to teach mat classes only, or can move on to more integrated equipment training classes.

Expeditions: Conquistador
Expeditions: Conquistador Latest News
Logic Artists is working on Expeditions: Viking, a sequel to historical strategy RPG Expeditions: Conquistador
Danish indie developer Logic Artists' turn-based strategy adventure Expeditions: Conquistador was a fine little game, so I'm happy to hear the team is returning to their historical series - this time, however, they're swapping Spanish galleons for viking longboats.
Expeditions: Viking will feature the same blend of strategic combat, RPG development, and choose-your-own-adventure storytelling as its predecessor, but it'll also add some interesting new features.
Fabula Event Editor released for free to owners of Expeditions: Conquistador
If you own a copy of the underrated tactical strategy game Expeditions: Conquistador and you feel like coming up with some of your own content for it, developers Logic Artists have you covered.
They've just released the game's Fabula Event Editor for free, an XML editor that will allow players to create new quests, narration and rewards, "modify the original campaigns to their own tastes and share them with their friends."
Clandestine announced by indie Logic Artists, "asymmetrical" co-op spy thriller
Expeditions: Conquistador developer Logic Artists have announced a most intriguing new game called Clandestine which is set during the mid-1990s and involves Cold War espionage in a "deep dark" spy fantasy.
The reason interests are piqued is because of its "asymmetrical" approach to co-op play, where one player is 'feeding' the other crucial information and so are not traditionally side-by-side.
Expeditions: Conquistador now available on Steam
Kickstarted grand strategy game Expeditions: Conquistador is now available on Steam. The game made its $70K crowdfunding goal last September 2012.

With Roy Halladay likely headed to the the disabled list, the Phillies will have a vacant spot in the rotation that needs to be filled. There are really only three candidates to replace him and our selection may surprise you.
Quick notes: whoever replaces Halladay, as Matt Gelb points out, will have a hard time pitching worse than Halladay has in 2013. Our Eric Seidman pointed out last week that Halladay's biggest comparable over the last calendar year has been Joe Blanton – unfortunately for Halladay, with his last two outings, that ship has sailed as well.
Finally, for the purposes of this article, Jesse Biddle, despite his strong start, is not included here because, frankly, myself and many others would like to see slightly more out of him in Double-A, and perhaps Triple-A, before considering him for a promotion to MLB but also because his addition would require him being added to the 40-man roster – a move that would be almost wasted should Doc's expected DL stint last for only 15 days.
Pros: Dynamite secondary pitches, great location on fastball, started the year with two truly great starts (1.29 ERA, 9 Ks in 14 IP against a very good Syracuse club), most complete/polished pitcher of the three available at this time.
Cons: Just 23 years old – why rush? Has struggled in last three starts (6.75 ERA, 3 HR allowed) and has struggled keeping pitch count low. Has only gone past the sixth inning once. Is not on the 40-man roster.
Morgan looked phenomenal in his first to starts of the year against the Syracuse Chiefs, a team hitting .271, made up of Nationals' prospects. He used sliders and change-ups mixed in with a fastball that climbed in velocity as the game went on and challenged hitters. He was in contention for the spot that went to Jonathan Pettibone received but is not yet on the 40-man roster, which would have been a hindrance. At this point, my only question is his endurance: Morgan has a propensity to pitch long innings and hits 90-100 pitches around the fifth or sixth inning.
Chances of Replacing Halladay: 35%. Morgan is the performance-based favorite, even with the bumps he has hit recently. He's not on the 40-man roster however, the Phillies are only at 39 right now and Sebastian Valle and Tyson Gillies have played their way to expandability in the early going if they want the extra player cushion.
Pros: On the 40-man roster, over a strikeout per inning pitched right now, bad stats are due for a positive regression
Cons: Are the bad stats due for a positive regression (20 BB in 22.1 IP)? Has not gotten past the fifth inning with the 'Pigs in 2013.
Chances of Replacing Halladay: 20%. Martin has given up 14 ER in his last three starts, pitching just 13.1 innings. I think Martin still has a lot of great stuff and I would chalk this up to a slow start. Martin is your guy if you believe you need someone to fill in for one or two starts and are tempted to see what he can do against MLB hitters.
Pros: On the 40-man roster, has pitched the best the most recent out of any IronPigs starter (2.40 ERA in last 15 IP)
Cons: 7.65 ERA over first four starts was enough to confirm label many already had in their minds for Cloyd and sealed his fate for most
Cloyd is the best of the three lately – he is coming off back-to-back solid starts against Louisville and Indianapolis. A super slow start cost him a shot at the spot opened up by John Lannan – will it cost him the spot opened up by Halladay?
Chances of Replacing Halladay: 45%. This is probably the safest route for the Phillies. Martin is still raw and Morgan, as brilliant as he has looked, is still very much a work in progress. Cloyd is your guy if you don't want to Gavin Floyd (adjective) either Morgan or Martin.

uggghhh this situation is like a punch in the gut
I watched the Chiefs every game last year as I worked with their video crew and they have a lot of the same guys back. They are not a good team so having two good games against the Chiefs really is not saying much.
Not to mention the Chiefs are doing just as awful this year in last place of their division and the third worst team in Triple A. I would want Cloyd, most major league ready and I think he also has the biggest upside and could actually maybe get going.
The player I am most intrigued to see is Adam Morgan. I think they'll probably go with Tyler Cloyd though.
No thoughts to bringing in someone from outside? IE a unsigned playe or dealing for someone?
How about just pitching Aaron Cook ? Oh wait RAJ didn' t want to pay an insignificant amount of money to keep him around.
I'm not sure who Aaron Cook would be better than. 7.40 ERA in the minors so far this year, and 5.08, 6.03, and 5.65 in the majors the last 3 years.
"I'm not sure who Aaron Cook would be better than"
That's unbelievable that you aren't sure.
I am.
But the thread's cool. Liked reading the case for Cloyd, and a little semi first hand perspective of sorts from Stuart.
All I'll say is it'll be interesting. Pettibone's doing a little plus better than I thought based on ineffective digits and spring, so I'm just watching this one. But Aaron Cook? I'd have looked at Lopez first if I thought that channel on the cable box (This is the Red Flag Showing Career is Past Television Network) was the one to press.
This Phillies organization needs to have some mercy on us fans. It is time to rebuild and that means having a fire sale while we can get some talent for our veterans. We should look to sell/trade the following players who could contribute to a contender:
Jonathan Papelbon
Cliff Lee
Chase Utley
Jimmy Rollins
Michael Young
Ryan Howard (if we can unload him)
We are going no where this year. It really is time to make these moves.
No. The times to make such moves, if there is need to make them, is at the trade deadline.
Yes and no. Truthfully, the time to trade Lee is now as his value is directly tied to the number of starts made for a club. I've been calling the Dodgers for quite some time, so I'll stick with that assumption.
Never trade Chase Utley. I don't care if it ruins the team, he is the heart of Philly.
I think we are stuck with Howard. We would have to eat up massive amount of money. It was just a bad contract and not necessarily speaking because its Ryan Howard. Besides with that gimpy ankle his value is further decreased. Moving on i think they will go with Cloyd.
I don't think anything will be decided until after Halladay's test results. If he's going to be out a short time, they'll probably go with Cloyd, but if Doc is out for more than two or three weeks, it's possible they try to find someone outside the organization. Some of the front office thinking will also depend on when Lannan is due back. If he requires surgery, the buzzards from other organizations will begin circling, waiting to pick the few tasty morsels off the Phils' mostly dead roster.
Usually very optimistic… I feel like we really are a world away from being true contenders – and having said that, I believe we should be sellers at the deadline this year. I'd bring back Ruiz, because you have to put a capable catcher out there, but i'd give serious thought to dealing Utley, Young, Lee, Papelbon, Adams at the deadline.
There is no point in paying Utley $10 M a year or so (or whatever his cost would be), for the next 2-3-4 years if we don't think we'll be in contention anyway .. and without Halladay, Lee, … our pitching staff won't be able to carry us as in year's past. Unload some players IF* you can get a substantial return for them… Next year will be the time to see what Galvis, Brown, Biddle, etc can do
Like the Red Sox last year, they need to unload bad contracts even without substantial return. For example, this is the second consecutive season in which Papelbon has seen a decline in his velocity. This is the year to move him – while he's still effective. That contract was ugly to begin with, and it gets even worse for a pitcher with declining skills.
Once again, we have a discussion here between the message and the reply that isn't what in my view is topical for today (although the original message was largely vent of frustration, and that's understandable), but this here replay is about as spot on as it gets. The Red Sox blueprint indeed appears to be right on. People'd be surprised by how little return the Phils guys get anyway, but that's besides the point, and subject to being wrong anyhow. In Pap's case, it may wind up further supplemented by what the hell are you trying to close out anyhow, but it is potentially a chance to right a wrong deal.
Now how Ruben and company assess this, lord knows, but when, and still small chance if it's time to sell, this consideration oughta remain in the memory bank for execution.
The Red Sox I think are the exception to the rule on trading high priced people. I'd also bear in mind that there's a lot of season left, that they traded guys who were mostly not that old, that they changed managers (everyone hated their last one), and that they've had better than average pitching from guys who weren't all that good last year.
I'm not saying that the Phils shouldn't try to get rid of some high priced veterans. I'm only saying that it's highly doubtful they'd have the same success that the Sox have had so far.
It's obviously not possible without a team willing to absorb bad contracts. The Dodgers were spending money foolishly with their ownership change last season, so a perfect storm developed for Boston to unload a lot of dead weight. The Phillies need to explore all options though. Other than Hamels, nobody should be untouchable.
I have in prior posts advocated a Red Sox-esque salary/contract dump. In retrospect however I have to agree with KB, the return for such a dump will most likely be less than satisfactory especially given that our minor league scouts have sucked ever since Mike Arbuckle left the organization. The Red Sox had minor league talent waiting in the wings unlike our orgainzation. (Also the Red Sox unloaded some BAD club house guys in Crawford and Beckett. None of the Phillies players who would be candidates for a mid-season trade fit that kind of negative bill.) I guess what I am getting at is that not every player on the current roster needs to or should go because 1. there are no players at the minor league level ready to step in and take their place and 2. the team would be unable to replace all of those players with returns from those trades. Unless of course the team is prepared to be really bad for several years.
Since the team has days off on May 13, May 16 and May 23, it seems like they will only need a replacement for Doc 2 times, this Friday in Arizona and May 21 in Miami, before Lannan is scheduled to return. I would hate to see them rush Morgan and start his service time clock and I would hate to see RAJ trade anything of value for a short-term fix. I hope they just ride it out with Cloyd on Friday and go with a 4-man rotation until May 21. By then, they should have a better idea of when Lannan will return and they will also have 12 more games, 11 of which are against teams with winning records, to assess where they stand in regards to their prospects for contending for the playoffs this season. At that point, if Lannan is not ready to return and the team has won 7 or 8 of those 12 games, maybe there will be wisdom in making a trade.
The Phils rarely use a four man rotation. But I like your ideas here.

Way to look ahead, hk. I can't offer a supplemental opinion, haven't looked ahead. I'm just focussed on the week that is, but it's refreshing to read this considering some of the stuff
that doesn't coincide with what I'd care to read. The ballclub's hangin' around.
Great comment hk. RA Jr. scared me a little in that interview with Gregg Murphy before the game last night when he brought up the possibility of a trade. First and foremost is knowing Doc's status, which may take a while to be determined.
I think the front office generally looks at how the pitcher looks. Worley didn't have great minor league stats and Pettibone's numbers weren't looking good this year eith

|Program Goal: To administer the student aid programs, including efforts to modernize student aid delivery and management systems, improve service to students and other student aid program participants, reduce the cost of student aid administration, and improve accountability and program integrity.
|Objective 1 of 1: Student Aid Administration
|Indicator 1.1 of 2: Reduce FSA Business Process Cost
Source: FSA Activity-Based Cost Model (ABC)
Frequency: Annually.
Next Data Available: January 2007
Numerous internal controls
Explanation: In FY 2004, FSA defined and validated its Activity-Based Costing (ABC) model to measure the success of its cost-reduction strategies. In FY 2005, FSA continued to enhance the ABC model to yield improved cost data and in FY 2006 will develop baseline reduction percentages. The FSA Activity-Based Costing Model was used to produce unit cost data for FY2003 and FY2004. FY2005 unit cost data will be finalized by the second quarter of FY2006. The FY 2006 target for measures a through d is to establish the baselines (BL). For measure (a), the FY 2008 target is BL minus 20%; 2010 target is BL minus 25%. For measure (b), the FY 2008 target is BL minus 10%; 2010 target is BL minus 15%. For measure (c), the FY 2008 target is BL minus 12%; 2010 target is BL minus 12%. For measure (d), the FY 2008 target is BL minus 14%; 2010 target is BL minus 14%.
|Indicator 1.2 of 2: Eliminate improper payments
Source: President's Management Agenda Scorecard.
Frequency: Annually.
Next Data Available: March 2006
Explanation: In the first quarter of FY 2005, OMB introduced a new President's Management Agenda (PMA) initiative, Eliminating Improper Payments, to support agency efforts to meet the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 (IPIA) reporting requirements. This initiative makes it easier for agencies to track the progress of activities aimed at identifying, reporting on and reducing improper payments. At the same time, it provides for more comprehensive agency accountability to OMB through quarterly PMA scorecards. As such, Federal Student Aid is working closely with OMB and the Department to develop an action plan designed to (a) reduce the amount of improper payments in our programs, (b) lower the risk of improper payments in our programs and (c) improve the accuracy of our improper payment estimates. In FY 2005, FSA received red and the FY 2006 target is yellow and the FY 2010 target is green.

Tannoy Di6DC Speaker (Single)
The Tannoy Di6 is an ultra compact surface mount weather resistant loudspeaker with a 165mm (6.50") ICTT drive unit. Ideal for stereo or monaural background or foreground music systems in applications including theme parks, retail premises, restaurants and cafés, corporate audio visual, residential developments and houses of worship.
Weather resistant, rated IP64 to EN60529 (IEC529); the textured black or white painted finish, with matching rubber trims, of the outstandingly durable and scuff resistant, high impact polystyrene (HIPS) enclosure is fully optimised for consistent performance in adverse conditions indoors or out.
The Di6 speaker cabinet is available in either black or white with matching rubber trims. Further architectural modification is possible by factory fit application of alternative red or blue colour trims. Two standard colour trim options are available from stock; enabling black or white product to be supplied factory pre-fitted with either red or blue trims.
Other trim colours can also be created to suit specific requirements, but only as a special order customisation subject to minimum order quantities. Primarily this is aimed at corporate branding applications, where this aesthetic flexibility will enable colour coordination for larger installs.
- The point source configuration of the 165mm (6.50") Tannoy ICTT driver's mid-bass and tweeter sections ensures a wide and controlled dispersion for optimum coverage; this while avoiding the massive loss of energy in the vertical plane, at the crossover frequency, inherent in two-way discrete designs. The ICTT (Inductive Coupling Technology) drive unit also addresses the two most common component failures experienced in background music and sound reinforcement systems, the tweeter and the crossover reliability.
- The use of a wireless electromagnetic tweeter means that no crossover is required in the design; this therefore ensures that an ICTT unit is exceptionally reliable and therefore ideal for applications where constant heavy usage is the norm. The mineral loaded polypropylene cone material and nitrile rubber surround further enhance durability and long-term reliability.
- This point source speaker technology delivers an acoustic performance of outstanding clarity, definition and detail with class leading vocal intelligibility with the added benefit that the speaker can be mounted in either vertical or horizontal orientations on walls or ceilings with no compromise to performance.

Traditionally an exclusive resort where Cairo and Alexandria elite vacations. Known as the Egyptian St-Tropez, Agami today also caters to the middle and working class. The resort village was founded in the 1950's, but their are few structures remaining from this period. And while most of the housing in the area is simple, there are exceptions, including the Villa Lashin, built in 1962 by architect Ali Azzam and the Beit el-Halawa built by Abd el-Wahid el-Wakil. Near here, you will also find the resort villages of Hannoville and Sidi Kheir, which are also popular summer retreats. Historically, there is a small French fort built during French occupation of Egypt.
Who are we?
Tour Egypt aims to offer the ultimate Egyptian adventure and intimate knowledge about the country. We offer this unique experience in two ways, the first one is by organizing a tour and coming to Egypt for a visit, whether alone or in a group, and living it firsthand.

The weather was perfect for a day out walking around tasting wines from all over Texas at the Joe Gulley Park.
Among the wineries providing glasses of eclectic wines were the Brahman Winery and the Texas South Wind Vineyard and Winery in Refugio County.
And those of you thinking you know a thing or two about wine, just let the Texas wineries surprise you with their unique blend of fruits and spirits.
People who attended the event were also treated to a wide range of tasty foods provided by the Cardinal Catery company, which included bacon-wrapped chicken, bite-sized BLTs and some of the best fruits and desserts around.
The Mark Odom Band along with Jordan Minor and Tony Taylor provided the soundtrack to the relaxed afternoon under the sun as the attendees chatted about their favorite drinks and their newly purchased wines to add to their collections.
Kenedy Chamber of Commerce Director Christina Benevides said, "Something we wanted to provide was a laid-back environment where people could sip on some wine and listen to some good music."
And if wine wasn't your thing, there was something there for everyone.
"We had the beer garden and margarita trailer so we could make it more comfortable for all our guests," Benevides mentioned.
Though the chamber is meeting late Tuesday to iron out any wrinkles they might have had and when they would hold it again, it's clear from the number of people who attended that it was a runaway success.
Benevides said, "Our goal was to just give the people in the area an experience they haven't had before."
And from the chatter amongst the crowd, it was an experience that they would all partake in again.

FSU falls to Blue Bears 74-65
Falcons manage to hold on to a 62-59 win over undermanned Broncos
Midway through the first half, the Fayetteville State Broncos needed a spark. Jarmel Baxter provided one. And for a while, that was enough. But the Broncos couldn't overcome 22 turnovers and 28 fouls and Virginia Union had four players score in double figures to rally past Fayetteville State 82-77 on Monday in a nonconference game between CIAA foes

If your fantasy team didn't have a great week at Daytona International Speedway, fear not, that's Daytona; it's time to recollect and move on.
This coming Sunday's race will be the Subway Fresh Fit 500, a 500-kilometer or 312-mile race at Phoenix International Raceway. Pun intended: Phoenix is a place for drivers and fantasy owners alike to rise from the ashes that might have burned them at Daytona. (Can we use miles? I mean, we are in America, right?) Here's a more in depth look at what to expect in the Yahoo! Fantasy Auto Racing garage:
Phoenix International Raceway is a one-mile oval. In 2011, it was reconfigured and repaved, which was designed to give the track a bit more speed. Phoenix has a little more banking than the Magic Mile here in New Hampshire, but it still falls very much into the category of being a short intermediate and it does take a good race car driver to get his/her way to the front of the field.
The Gen-6 car is very much an X-Factor early in the season. There is a huge difference between driving a restrictor-plate car at a superspeedway, like Daytona, and being forced to race on what can almost be considered a short track (by Sprint Cup Series standards), like Phoenix. This will be the first time we truly get to see how different drivers are able to race these new cars. Until we get a grasp on who can drive the Gen-6 and who can't, the new car will continue to provide question marks.
Shorter tracks like this have cleaner races with less catastrophic damage, in large part because the cars aren't being driven so fast that the drivers can't react to the race around them. Translating that to the fantasy team means that with most cars staying on the track, the best drivers at Phoenix will likely find their way to the front and be able to stay up there, out of trouble. Early in the season, the best bet is to go with the safe and reliable options at a track like this.
Drivers are listed by car number and not necessarily in rank order.

Hey Flyred06 BIIx vs Ticr????
Saw a post from you back in Nov where you were in Birmingham and cast a BIIx 7wt. I believe that our fingerprints are all over that same rod! The guys put the hard sell on me...but I cannot get beyond the sticker price. Want it! Can't afford it!
Santa was good to me this year, but I wasn't good enough to rate the 7 bills required to lay in the BIIx.
How do you think the TFO Ticr would stack up against it, as a REASONABLE alternative?
I'm thinking that Winston's FAST is probably slower than the TicrX so that's why I'm thinking Ticr...also I'm actually looking at a 5 or 6 wt.
As you know that place in B'ham don't stock TFO so a side by side is impossible.
What say you sir?
Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks ALL!
I have had and cast several TICR rods by TFO and they are definately faster than that BIIx. Maybe the Jim Teeny line of the TFO rods would excite you. I have a friend who has those rods and I like the way they cast. Also the Professional series is quite nice. For just a little more money I have cast the St. Croix legand and that is a real sweet rod in comparrison to the winston. That same shop carries St. Croix also. In my opinion from owning them and casting them the TICR are way faster than the BIIx. If you make it up to gadsden there is a shop up here where he is a TFO dealer and has a full line in stock for you to play with. Try the before mentioned rods and see what you think. Just keep in mind before you purchase LRO carries all these mentioned rods and has free shipping. I don't want to send buisness away from them cause they are to good to us with this forum and other great services.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV
Thanks Flyred
You and I haunt the same places (re:Gadsden)
GREAT Folks! For all i know we have been in there at the same time.
The combo of gift cards and such means that I'll be trading with LRO...
Torn loyalties here...The place you are referring to is near and dear to my heart but doesn't take Orvis Gift Cards, nor do they offer quite the selection of alternatives as our LRO friends.
The BIIx seemed a bit faster than the TFO Pro, but it could have been me.
May have to buy the rod at one and the reel at the other just to keep things fair...too bad I can't afford the BIIx...no question where I'd get that
Through the shop in gadsden you are talking about we have a fly fishing club. Would love to have you come up and set in. You might even want to join. $25 a year. I do alot of my shopping at that mentioned shop due to the owners are supper great to me, but I love the larger variety that LRO offers. Also in talking about the BIIx you might want to look at some of the Sage rods in the lower price range area. My wife got me a new Launch for christmas from LRO in an 8wt and I love that rod. One day I am going to get up to that z axis or a BIIx. If you ever want to come to one of our club meetings it is on the first thursday of the month and would love to have you as my guest.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV
Plunker may want to come to our Jan. 14 meeting flyred, the outfitter some of us went to Alaska with will be there and do a program about his Naknek River camp.
That would be an excellent meeting. Also you could meet several guys who own the TFO rods you are questioning. The fly shop owners will be there and they are always very insightful and helpful. But if you are around gadsden stop by that shop and cast the Jim Teeny rods and you might even look at some T&T rods they carry. The horizon 2 is an awesome rod and one of my favorites. They are also a little easier on the billfold if you know what I mean. Gadsden is one of the few T&T dealers around. Do not miss understand I am not trying to plug for any dealer. Both shops have been very good to me and I trully love shopping with both of them. I just wanted to answer your question best as possible.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV
To make sure I am not disrespecting the board or any fly shops contact me at email@example.com and we will discuss more if you like. I do not want to do anything to hurt the fine people at either establishment and therefore it might be better to talk off board so that I am not mentioning any competetion on this board. Thanks and if I have done anything against anyone it was in ignorance and ask your forgiveness.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV
Flyred...a gentleman and a scholar!
I appreciate all the help and info. I truly appreciate your fairness to LRO, being in sales myself, it is a pleasure to have customers like you!
Make no mistake...I OWE LRO my business, if for nothing more than their providing this venue for us to forward this great sport!
As I mentioned earlier, one will get the rod, the other will get the reel is about as fair as I can make it. The CFO is minding the checkbook, and would quickly question my substitution of a personal check for a stack of gift cards to places she has no intention of spending money if you get my drift!?
Also thanks for the personal invite to the meeting. Business travel won't allow me to make the Jan meeting, but I promise to attend one soon after.
I'll chat with you soon! And thanks for the valued input!
I've got a TFO professional series and a couple of BIIx's and I'll say those actions are pretty similar. They seem to fit my cast really well, I can't deal with a truly "fast" rod, I've cast the new BIIMx and the Sage's in similar category and they were too fast for me. I am so used to laying out and pausing on the backcast that those rods load and unload before I get into my forward swing and cause me all types of knots and bird nests.
<(((>< In tribute to Ben, Duck Hunter extraordinaire, and man's best friend.
Thanks B
My primary rod is an Orvis Frequent Flyer 5wt...I know...I know...looong story.
I actually have two TFO pro's 3wt, 8 wt (love em) my brother has a 5wt pro that I have actually cast side by side with my 5WT FFlyer. The Orvis rod is a tad faster actually. yet slower to me than the BIIx.
Went today and chucked a TiCr...that thing smokes. It ate up a pile of line I had stripped off at my feet in a good 10mph wind with me wondering what happened. It felt really good, but a tad heavy, matter of fact a loaded BBS III won't balance it which to me was the ONLY downside.
I didn't try a TiCrX on purpose....afraid I might accidentally ding the vehicles in the parking lot with the yarn of the end of the leader...
Haven't made a decision yet but the process is a whole lot o fun!

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
- Released in 1985, this National League All-Star card celebrates Sandberg's achievements in 1984. From the back of the card we learn that Sandberg came in second in the National League in total hits in 1984, losing to Tony Gwynn of the Padres. We also see that Sandberg stole home for the third time on 4-8-84, tying Joe Tinker's 1910-1911 club record. Tinker was not reached for comment.

Lowery computer shows credit card searchBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | September 19,2013BRATTLEBORO A Vermont State Police expert in computer forensics testified Wednesday that Nita Lowerys computer was used to search for credit card information in the hours before her collapse into a hypoglycemic coma.
Lt. Brian Penders, testifying in the Jodi LaClaire second-degree murder trial, said that he was able to retrieve information from Lowerys computer that showed several key events in the early morning hours of March 23, 2009, the day the 83-year-old Brattleboro woman collapsed. LaClaire, 39, of Bennington, N.H., is charged with murder, elder abuse and six counts of financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult.
She died about a week later, the result of a severe brain injury from severely low blood sugar. Prosecutors claim that LaClaire injected Lowery with insulin.
Penders said that he received Nita Lowerys computer from her grandson, John Lowery IV, in July, several months after her death. He said that the grandson, who had moved to Burlington after his grandmother died, at first didnt want to hand over the computer to Vermont State Police investigators on July 17, saying he needed the computer for school work.
But John Lowery IV agreed to turn the computer over to the state police later that month.
Penders admitted under questioning from LaClaires lead defense attorney, Daniel Sedon, that it was unusual for the state police not to get a warrant and confiscate the computer then and there, because at the time the grandson and his then-girlfriend were also suspects in the theft of Nita Lowerys gold jewelry in October 2008. The jewelry was estimated to be worth up to $30,000.
Penders said he had looked at the computer preliminarily at John Lowerys apartment and decided it was definitely worth another look.
He said it doesnt happen very often that police would allow a suspect to hold on to a computer that would be the source of evidence.
LaClaires attorneys have tried to shift attention to John Lowery IV and his former girlfriend, Lynn Corson, who died of alcoholism a year later.
Penders said that in 2009 he was examining the computer for evidence of financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult. It was only later, Penders said, he learned that the case may have involved a homicide.
Penders said many of the files he was looking for had been deleted on Lowerys computer, but that he was able to retrieve a lot of the information.
Penders said that the computer was used between 4:30 a.m., and 5:30 a.m., to visit the website of Lowerys credit card company, USAA (United Services Automobile Association) of San Antonio, and also search the computer itself for various files. Some of the files he was able to recover from the computer were labeled usaa.com/JL4, a reference to her grandson.
He said he found the usaa.com/JL4 files in that section of the computer hard drive for deleted files.
Prosecutors claim that LaClaire used her patients computer to access Nita Lowerys credit card information, and later establish a PIN number that would be used later that morning to make cash withdrawals from the credit card.
Penders said state police did not obtain a search warrant because Lowery had consented to eventually turn it over.
LaClaire was a licensed nursing assistant at Thompson House, a nursing home and assisted living facility in Brattleboro where Lowery had lived since 2002. LaClaire was the only nursing aide on duty on Lowerys floor on the overnight shift of March 22, 2009, to March 23, 2009
Earlier in the day, officials from the USAA credit card company testified about the various cash advances that were obtained from Lowerys credit card and the new PIN number. A total of a little more than $3,000 was received in six different transactions from March 23, 2009, to April 1, 2009, with one successful one in downtown Brattleboro and an attempted withdrawal at a Canal Street location. The others were in Keene, N.H.
Nita Lowery had never used her card for cash advances before and had never had a PIN number before, testified USAA fraud investigator Eric Garcia.
At the start of the eighth day of the trial the sixth of testimony one of the 16 jurors selected to hear the case was dismissed. A co-worker of the man had emailed him, questioning his suitability for serving on the jury, and said she was going to contact the Vermont attorney generals office about her concerns.
It was not clear what her concerns were, but she had been a potential witness at one time in the case but was not going to be called. Neither Sedon nor Assistant Attorney General Matthew Levine would comment on the issue.
The juror had told Judge David Suntag Tuesday afternoon he had received the email but only after being questioned about it, and did not volunteer the information, which set off red flags for the attorneys in the case. Suntag routinely asks the jurors if they have been contacted about the case.
The jury is now made up of 10 women and five men. The trial, which is expected to last through next week, resumes this morning.

To Change or Not to Change…
…that is the question. So, I've been thinking about changing the title of my blog and I was wondering what you all thought. As most of you probably don't know, this blog is named "Unfinished Business" based on a quote by Padres General Manager Kevin Towers at the beginning of the season regarding Game 163 in 2007. As you'll find out in my next entry, Game 163 impacted me deeply. But now, we don't have the unfinished business anymore. We failed. And so, I feel like I should change the name of my blog at the beginning of 2009. I have a new name ready and everything, but what do you think?
The Winter Meeting start today. If Jake is going to be traded, it's going to be during these meetings. It appears that the Cubs are the most interested, but I think the Braves will at least talk a little more. Things will be happening this week. Let the games begin!
6 Comments
Yeah, don't keep us in suspense! Do you have a new name for the blog? Personally, I like "Unfinished Business." I look forward to hearing how that game in '07 impacted you, but "Unfinished Business" suggests that you're ready for the Padres to win a championship and that's cool.
As much as i like Peavy, I hope that the Braves do not trade for him because i dont want to lose Yunel. And i think Unfinished Business is a good name too but it depends what you would be changing it to.
Los, http://lcbraves.mlblogs.com
Kaybee – I like "Unfinished Business". There is always something more for us to do….something still to accomplish. Nothing is ever completly done when it comes to baseball.
Thanks for the input, guys! I have decided to keep "Unfinished Business". We really do still have unfinished business, cause we've been in the World Series twice and we've lost the World Series twice. So, I will be keeping this title at least until the Padres win the World Series. (That might be awhile) Besides, I reallly like the name🙂 Thanks again!
I agree with Julia. I also really like "Unfinished Business." It just has an interesting sound to it. I actually first clicked on this blog because of the title. Keep up the good work.

Menard Earns Hard-Fought 22nd-Place Finish at Martinsville Speedway
Starting from the 23rd position, Paul Menard and the No. 27 Turtle Wax/Menards team faced handling issues throughout the 263-mile event, earning a 23rd-place finish when the checkered flag flew at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday. In the early laps of the race, Menard fought a tight-handling condition causing him to fall a lap down to the leader on two separate occasions during the first 150 laps of the 500-lap affair. Two subsequent caution periods allowed Menard to be credited with the "Lucky Dog" pass, returning the No. 27 machine to the lead lap both times. The crew never gave up making an array of adjustments to the Turtle Wax/Menards Chevrolet during the ensuing pit stops in hopes of remedying the tight condition. The series of chassis and air pressure adjustments provided some relief to the Eau Claire, Wis., native and he was scored as high as 10th at lap 312. As the race progressed, the handling issues returned and a tight-handling car coupled with a late-race, green-flag run caused the Richard Childress Racing driver to fall a lap down to the leader with 25 laps to go. Running in 23rd, Menard fought until the very end and gained one position in the remaining laps to finish 22nd at Martinsville. He now sits 17th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings heading into Texas Motor Speedway.

PAUL MENARD QUOTE: "It was a tough day for the No. 27 Turtle Wax/Menards crew. We struggled with handling issues for the majority of the day. We got better there in the middle of the race, but the tight condition came back at the end. I have to give my team credit though, they never gave up and made a variety of adjustments all day to try and get the car to handle better. We fought hard getting our lap back twice, but it just didn't work out in our favor at the end."
Harvick Finishes Sixth at Martinsville Speedway
Kevin Harvick and the No. 29 team salvaged a top-10 finish at Martinsville Speedway Sunday afternoon after starting from the 10th position and sustaining damage to the Rheem Chevrolet SS. The California native maintained a position within the top 15 for the majority of the race, until pitting for four tires and fuel on lap 328 under yellow-flag conditions. With varying pit strategies, Harvick was scored 21st for the ensuing restart. As green-flag racing resumed, the Richard Childress Racing driver worked his way back into the top 15, but alerted the team the red and black machine wouldn't turn and the water pressure was beginning to fall. Crew chief Gil Martin called his driver to pit road on lap 367 for four tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment. During the pit stop, the team discovered damage to the grille of the Chevrolet from an earlier on-track racing incident. The team kept on eye on the situation during the final laps as Harvick continued to work his way toward the front of the field, ultimately crossing the finish line sixth. Following Harvick's 18th top-10 finish of the season, he now sits fourth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, 28 markers out of the top spot.
Start - 10 Finish - 6 Laps Led - 0 Points - 4th
KEVIN HARVICK QUOTE: "This was an interesting one. We fought all day, got the nose banged up there and had a little leak in the radiator, so it was kind of nerve wracking at the end. I want to apologize to Ryan Newman; I tried to shoot in a gap there and just barely clipped the right rear of his car. Gil (Martin, crew chief) and the Rheem team did a good job of adjusting the car from the little bang-up and we came away with a solid day."
Burton Overcomes Early Race Spin to Finish 11th at Martinsville Speedway
Jeff Burton and the No. 31 Sleep Innovations Chevrolet team started the 500-lap race in 22nd place at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday afternoon. Once the initial green flag waved over the .526-mile oval under sunny skies, Burton appeared to be in for a long day when he was tapped from behind and spun on lap six. Suffering minimal damage to the left-rear quarter panel, he hit pit road where crew chief Luke Lambert instructed the pit crew to put on two right-side tires on the first stop under caution, assessed the damage, then pitted again for two left-side tires on the next lap. Restarting 35th on lap 19, Burton raced his way into the top-25 by lap 42 and kept moving forward in the running order. The big plus took place on lap 174 when Lambert and Burton decided to stay out under caution to gain track position. It worked in their favor as the Virginia native lined up in second place for the restart on lap 180. From there, Burton would remain in the top-10 for much of the remaining laps. He would run as high as third and a low of 13th on the scoring pylon during this portion. Utilizing no pit stops under caution several times, the No. 31 Chevrolet SS team maintained advantageous track position until the 475th circuit when Burton slipped to 11th. Radioing in that his car was too loose in the turns, he held on to that position when the checkered flag waved.
Start - 22 Finish - 11 Laps Led - 0 Points Position - 19th
JEFF BURTON QUOTE: "We had a bit of bump in our game plan with that spin early on, but were lucky the No. 31 Sleep Innovations Chevrolet didn't get beat up too bad. We were able to race our way forward from there and then took advantage of pit strategy to gain track position. We held onto that for a good part of the race, but just got too loose at the end. Great job by Luke and the entire team on pit road today; that was some fun racing out there for Martinsville."

It is my pleasure in this season of graduations to report the explosion of a pervasive and destructive educational myth. Middle and lower-income families have traditionally believed that colleges ranking highest in terms of educational resources were too expensive, but new research reveals that students attending state and other lower-ranked schools end up paying more for education than if they had been accepted at highly selective ones.
Caroline Hoxby, an economist at Stanford, found that only a "minority of high-achieving, low-income students apply to colleges in the same way that other high-achieving students do," and as a result most of their peers from public high schools attend state or local post-secondary schools that cost more—for the simple reason "that selective colleges typically cost high-achieving, low-income students less while offering them more generous resources than the non-selective postsecondary institutions they mainly attend." Among their resources, highly selective universities have more money with which to attract and nurture students.
The reason Hoxby gives is uncomplicated: "high-achieving, low-income students are unlikely to be reached by traditional methods of informing students about their college opportunities." In other words, students are not made aware of better opportunities—not by administrators, teachers, guidance counselors, coaches or other students in the same boat.
Hoxby is offering an intervention for such students. It costs $6 and can be linked at siepr.stanford.edu/?q=/system/files/shared/pubs/papers/12-014paper.pdf, or search Caroline Hoxby Stanford publications.
Public high schools no longer have an excuse for not sending their high-achieving students to the highest-ranked universities, those that typically provide financial aid to 60% of their students. This information could be worth tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars to next year's high school grads.

Mom (7/2011 & 3/2009) & Wife
If it was an electric, I would say NO WAY. But it's a manual. You might get away with pumping once in a while with that. For that price, you can try it and see.
However, that brand's electric pumps are terrible. I wouldn't have great hopes for their manual pumps.

Always babywearing, cosleeping and cloth diapering. Living with oppositional defiant disorder and ADHD. Ask me about cloth diapering and sewing your own diapers!
Run away from that one!!! I have it and its terrible. When I had my baby (who is an poor nurser) we were released on a Friday and that was all I could get. Its awful and does not work very well.

Everyone lies. I make bold claims like this in all my articles, but the best thing about this one is that if you even think of arguing the point with me, I can just call you a liar and I win! I win at Internet. Good stuff. And it's not even just me saying it, it's science. Me and science are tight. Anyway, to a greater or lesser degree, people find the time to be deceptive every day, whether it be an unimportant lie, like telling Grandpa that you're going to visit for real this year, or a big lie, like telling the people at Grandpa's home no, you didn't visit and you have no idea what happened.
For the most part, no one enjoys being lied to, but for whatever reason, we've carved out a few niche situations in life when not only do we find it acceptable to lie, we've pretty much all agreed it's expected and even better to lie, because the truth is just going to let everyone down. Strap on your ascot, it's lying time!
4 Job Interviews
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
I don't work so much as wallow in my own sense of satisfaction while living off this sweet settlement I got from the time I swallowed a lug nut in the bottom of a bottle of Mountain Dew Red. But when I did work and had to go to interviews, I recall pretty much always lying in said interviews. I like to think you do it, too.
There are varying degrees of dishonesty that occur during interviews, and while some people make up work history, references, skills, family, and even endearing qualities, we'll ignore them for now, because those people are so advanced at lying that if I were to expose them here and now they'd likely have me pushing up daisies by the end of the week and just tell the authorities that I probably committed suicide by kissing that outboard motor with my hands tied behind my back and people would believe them because they lie really, really well. People like my mother. No, the lies we care about here are the ones you'll tell when asked, "Why do you want to work here?"
Has anyone ever honestly answered that question in an interview? It's amazing that when the HR person interviewing you asks it, you don't both wink and high-five while laughing and pissing off a rooftop onto elderly people in a pool, or whatever it is kids do when engaging in underhanded shenanigans these days. Of course no one answers it honestly, because the reason you want to work at Old Navy is not because you have a raging hard-on for khakis and rearranging creepy mannequin families, it's because you're flat ass broke, and 50 percent of all the Old Navy employees you've ever met seem to be at least half chimp, so you think you can really excel there.
John Foxx/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Yo, that hoodie looks bangin' on you, bro, I'd buy two!"
HR people don't expect you to tell the truth, they just want to know you're not too stupid to properly answer a question. They want you to tell them a pretty lie, not an ugly truth. So when they ask, "What is your biggest weakness?" you know in your heart that an integral part of the answer is your love of methamphetamines, but in the interview, you're going to say it's that you like to take on a lot of responsibility, sometimes maybe even too much. Then you'll twitch and rub a suspicious scab and the interviewer will put a little check mark next to your name.
When they ask, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" you want to say you can't even remember where you were last week, but you're going to say you have an eye toward management, because it sounds slightly more responsible and less sociopathic.
The entire job interview process is to see how you act in a job interview, if you're prepared, if you can think on your feet, and if you can get through 10 minutes without swearing, masturbating, or punching someone. Lie your ass off -- just make it sound reasonable and you'll probably be folding polo shirts in no time.

Celebrities lie like knockoff Persian rugs thrust into the fierce gravitational pull of Jupiter all the time. Admittedly, it's never important, barring the odd celebrity murderer we've had to endure being turned into some kind of bizarre carny act of feigned indignation, but look at any typical train wreck in the news. Lindsay Lohan, for instance, may not even be Lindsay Lohan's name. She lies so much that no one should be surprised if we find out in a month she's actually Fred Savage.
Lindsay Lohan has a court date, she says she's sick and can't make it, and then TMZ films her at the mall buying the latest gold-encrusted douche nozzle from Fendi. Is Justin Bieber smoking pot and grabbing fan boobs? Of course not. Until pictures of him driving a bongmobile with a weed hat and a handful of statutory jug spread across the Internet, then he shrugs, tells us to fuck ourselves, wipes his ass with a $1,000 bill, and hosts SNL.
Jim Dyson/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"I dunno, it just seemed like a silly pants day."
No one cares that celebrities lie about stupid shit, so why do they do it? Did Justin Bieber lose fans after they found out he smoked weed? Maybe, but he probably gained more -- at least it makes him seem human now. On the other hand, you'll get a crusty sack of human effluence like Chris Brown (whose main contribution to culture has been the insulting tweets he's inspired from the Iron Sheik), who may be pathologically incapable of doing anything honest or honorable at all. He may literally be a piece of shit. Like designed in a lab, forged from the scrapings of numerous outhouses and litter boxes, and infused with a fractured scrap of Ike Turner's soul, a sixth grader's education, and terrible taste in body art. And despite his criminal violence, his terrible attitude, his asshole demeanor, his marginal talent, and his arrogant lack of remorse for anything he does, he not only has fans, he has vehement defenders. People just don't give a shit. And so celebrities never need to be held accountable for lying.
Somewhere along the line, celebrity culture brought with it the idea that everyone famous should be a role model, and so they have to be good and moral people, with few exceptions. Every so often a Colin Farrell will come around who will conduct interviews in which all he does is swear and profess a love of whiskey from the word go, and we just file him off to one side as a normal human who is also famous, but everyone else is held up as some kind of insane pariah if we discover they like sex or they punch out the odd paparazzi. So they will lie about it, whether it be a lie about who they're dating, the existence of a sex tape, a feud, or being hospitalized for "exhaustion," and then in a week's time the lie will be exposed and literally no one will give a shit, so it's hard to guess why that middle step of lying had to even occur.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I think, if Asuma used this jutsu to Hidan, he would be choped by this technique and Asuma wouldn't have to die. (maybe Kakuzu would join to fight, but he can't kill them all than reinforcement will come)
Can't see
Past is Past.. Its time to move on..
Also I think he uses ash pile burning, from which Hidan will not die..:shrug:

Not die but will be crashed and can't moving..
Hidan would've probably dodged it.
I'm assuming you mean the jutsu he first showed against InoShikaCho?
Remember this page though?
Ash cloud probably has more AoE than his other technique. Hidan was already showing off his acrobatic skills by dodging all of shadows, so he thought that he might as well go for something that can't be avoided as easily.

A big step backwards
April 9, 2014 —
New York State's (NYS) new energy plan starts off with an overview, "Shaping the Future of Energy," which expresses admirable aspirations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and move to renewable energy generation. The bad news comes in Volume II, which outlines the plan's specifics in 618 pages of statistics and predictions.
Despite the glowing promises in the overview, and a list of the benefits of renewable including GHG reduction, job creation, reduced imports and price volatility of fossil fuels, improved health, lower peak demand and wholesale electricity prices, the plan presents very puny targets for solar and wind power. Citing a vaguely explained concept of "bounded technical potential" (BTP) and a mysterious reference to "physical, social and technological factors at play," it concludes that no more than 18% of NY's energy needs could be met by renewables by 2020, and no more than 37% by 2030. On GHG reduction, the plan cites its own research indicating a possible 43% reduction, but arbitrarily downgrades that target to 20% "achievable."
The plan's core recommendation is increased reliance on natural gas in every sector—from gas-powered electricity generating plans to expanding the natural gas delivery system for residential, commercial and industrial use, to incentivizing CNG (compressed natural gas) and LNG (liquid natural gas) vehicles, to pushing homeowners to convert to gas-fired boilers. It skirts the issue of where all this natural gas will come from and what the climate costs will be. It documents the decline in conventionally mined gas, cites the potential of the Marcellus Shale and anticipates the lifting of drilling restrictions in New York, but carefully avoids actually endorsing fracking. Similarly, the plan analyses the market forces pushing to export U.S. natural gas and promotes the creation of export infrastructure, without making the connection between exporting our natural gas and greater price volatility here at home.
Worst of all, the plan ignores the fact that methane leaks at every point in gas production, from drilling and processing to transport and end use. Methane is estimated to be 70 times more potent as a GHG than CO2 over a 20-year window—precisely the window climate scientists give us for reducing GHG significantly enough to avoid the most disastrous effects of climate change. In fact, the plan seems unaware that natural gas is a fossil fuel, and frequently includes it in lists of "clean" renewable energy sources.

Do you plan on adding any Winny?
Totally new to this, so I apologize if I'm supposed to post this in a female section.
Began my first cycle of Var yesterday at 10mg/day. No other supps being used aside from some green tea extract. In 2011 I weighed 230lbs. Got down to 133 and competed in a bikini comp a few weeks ago. (placed well!) Over the course of my prep, I lost a significant amount of LBM thanks to improper coaching/ calories and carbs too low/ too much cardio. I'm a hard gainer, and I am determined to make it to the figure stage next year. I have big goals.. I'm talking WBFF pro goals.
Gain as much LBM as possible
10mg/day upping to 15mg/day after 7 days.
6 week cycle
Basic numbers I've been putting up:
155 x 8
145 x 8
Leg press:
360 x 6
20 x 8
Military press:
30 x 6
Wish me luck!
I like the determination and focus you have, that will take you far, Keep pushing! luck has nothing to do with it

Keepin Green.
Since it's my first time experimenting with AAS, I'm keeping it simple and starting with just the var.
I forgot to talk about my diet.
Currently reverse dieting up from 1200kcal/ day prep diet. Up to 1600/day this week. Aiming to get up to 2100 in a few weeks!
Looking forward to your log Eyeliz.
Nice! My wife is 5'2" 135 lbs and is on 10mg of var And 10 mg of Winny for now. Your calories sound about right.
Strong work getting down from 230! That is pure motivation...
Good luck with the current run
Luck? you got this. That's a significant amount of weight loss which deserves a great big hand. Goes to prove to you it's there if you want it and you're not going to be denied.
I like that, that's a great quality in a person.
Keep up the good work.
Best of luck. See too many chicks doing pointless hours of cardio and living off lettuce leaves ....

Nice job on the weight loss. I hope that great mindset spreads like wildfire. I love seeing big transformations
One week in and feeling great. I'm up 8lbs, and I'm sure most of that is water weight due to the increase in carbs and total calories. (Building up to 2100)
Definitely experiencing the "painful pump" effect during workouts. While training biceps on Saturday, I felt like my arms were going to explode after a drop set of barbell curls.
No negative sides as of yet. No acne, which surprises me since I have acne prone skin. Thumbs up!!
Bumped up to 15mg/ day split up between am and pm doses.
Going to see how I feel after this week and then probably bump up to 20mg next week!
Wow that is just an awesome transformation! Awesome jobI'm sub'd
How did I miss this?
Good stuff! You will find 20mg a day is going to net you some impressive results. Train your ass off, eat clean and do just enough cardio to stay lean. I hate the cardio queens; thankfully we don't have too many at my gym.

9 days in and feeling great! The scale is going up, but I'm looking leaner. My abs, which had disappeared post competition, are beginning to make an appearance. I'm LOVING the post workout pumps. Still no sides! Decided to bump up to 20mg earlier than initially planned.
Had an awesome leg day and squatted 195 for 3 reps. WOO! Aiming for 200 by October. Dat shoulder pump.
Here's a stage shot from my Competition May 3rd.
good luck !
you look great
having abs because you are skinny is like a women having tits because she's fat
Packing on muscle, heavier than fat. Never would've guessed you were overweight, you're looking good!
Keep up the great work.
Initially, i was planning on doing a 6 week cycle, but continued for an extra 2 weeks, making it a total of 8 weeks at 20mg/day.
Current weight, 158lbs at 5'8'
I definitely put on some fat as well as muscle over the past 8 weeks, but have made huge progress and solid gains!
Current lifts:
Squat: 185 x 3
DL: 225 x 3
Military press: 40 x 8
DB curls: 25 x 8
Also pulled a 280 farmer carry for 100 feet! Woo!
As far as sides go, I noticed mild calf cramping at night, and some painful pumps while working my shoulders, but that's it.
I'm about to start a 17 week prep and I'm thinking about going 4 weeks off, then running another 6 week cycle stacked with T3 and Clen. If anyone has any suggestions or reccomendations I would appreciate it!! I'll get some updated photos up later on!

Top Ten Teabagger Lies!
by Thorin
Apr 28, 2012
| 1529 views | 2
1. The birth-certificate conspiracy. Reality: Not even official birth certificates from Hawaii, newspaper clippings from 1961, and the testimony of state officials will convince the true-blue Tea Partiers. Which is why WorldNetDaily's Joseph Farah lectured the National Tea Party Convention for an hour about the "truth" of the birth-certificate story.
2. Death panels. Reality: PolitiFact named Sarah Palin's Facebook invention its "Lie of the Year," and the belief was thoroughly exposed as a falsehood by every news network (even Fox). Yet Palin still insists that the panels exist somewhere in the health-care reform bill that was signed into law, its actual language notwithstanding.
3. Obama is a Muslim/Socialist/Fascist. Glenn Beck's fantasy of the week -- one week Obama was a Socialist, the next he was a Communist, then a Fascist. Then it was on to Marxism and Maoism -- was avidly adopted by sign-bearing fans at Tea Party gatherings, who sometimes shared Beck's confusion by just calling Obama All of the Above. Reality: Give us a break. Obama's self-evident cautious centrism, embodied by his health-care reform package stripped of a public option, as well as his more recent embrace of a limited offshore drilling program, has infuriated liberals in his party -- but it hasn't stopped Tea Partiers from denouncing the president as a radical anyway.
4. Obama is going to take away our guns. Well, the NRA managed to scare a whole lot of people into buying up every gun and piece of ammunition in sight the first year or so after Obama's election. And at least five police officers died because the suspects they were arresting feared Obama was going to take away their guns. But Obama not only has adhered to his promise not to address gun-control issues, there hasn't been even a breath of it from his administration. Which, of course, just makes the paranoids that much more paranoid: It's proof that he's really up to something.
5. Obama is raising our taxes. Reality: Obama lowered taxes for 95 percent of working Americans in his first year in office. But, you know, he's a liberal Democrat – and for true-blue right-wing folks, that ALWAYS means a tax hike.
6. Fascism is a left-wing phenomenon. We can thank Jonah Goldberg -- with a big assist from Beck -- for the popularity of this one, even though Goldberg's thesis has been demolished and angrily dismissed by academic historians. It's especially come in handy for Tea Partiers with Obama-as-Hitler signs, who are not impressed by those pointy-headed professorial types anyway.
7. Global warming is a hoax. So Sean Hannity assures us, citing the Climategate brouhaha -- which was itself shown largely to be a hoax of its own. Meanwhile, the world's ocean levels keep rising, and glaciers and the polar ice cap keep receding -- regardless of the endless words thrown up denying that they are.
8. Some 16,000 new IRS agents will enforce the new health care reform act by throwing you in jail. Reality: The IRS is actually only increasing its spending in the coming budget year as it normally would -- but some Republican operatives decided to figure out how many positions its increased budget would buy, and came up with 16,000, a figure that then became gospel on Newt Gingrich's lips. According to the same mythmakers, this nonexistent new army of health care police was going to start throwing people in jail if they failed to buy health insurance -- though in fact, the only penalties contemplated for such failures are fines and taxes.
9. Two million people were at the 9/12 March on Washington. At the culmination of a monthlong promotion (highlighted by a national Tea Party Express bus tour) by Beck and Fox News, about 70,000 people gathered on the National Mall on September 12 to protest. Beck cited an erroneous early report that over a million had shown up. Later that grew to be two million, the figure now commonly cited by Tea Party leaders as evidence of their tremendous numerical force.
10. The Tea Parties are a non-partisan, broad grassroots movement. Sure, if by non-partisan you mean rabidly paleo-conservative, to the point of even dismissing Republicans, and by grassroots you mean fake populism organized and whipped up by the most popular cable-news network on television, with a heaping helping of corporate financing.
Tea Party folks and their defenders also want to believe that they're just ordinary Americans who want to be serious about helping their country. But it's pretty hard to fit that description when you embrace plain old nuttiness.

Second Ant-decapitating Fly Found in Glendale
Our scientists found another species of ant-decapitating fly in Glendale, Pseudacteon amuletum!
Pseudacteon amuletum. Photo credit: Phyllis Sun
Here's an account of this tiny, yet impressive fly, by Lisa Gonzalez, one of our BioSCAN entomologists:
"For those of you who missed Lila's exciting account of the moment Dr. Brian Brown first spotted an ant-decapitating fly in one of our BioSCAN samples as it was being sorted in front of our visitors in the Nature Lab, please enjoy this post. As Lila so eloquently described, ant decapitating flies are tiny but mighty little phorid flies that lay their eggs inside of the bodies of, you guessed it, ants. Many of these specialized...

Defendant accused in murder-for-hire plot
A Marshfield man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend last September is now accused of trying to hire his cellmate to kill the victim's boyfriend.
A criminal complaint says that while incarcerated in Wood County, Gabriel Campos offered another inmate $4,600, a car and an AK-47 assault rifle as payment to carry out the crime.
Campos is charged with killing 18-year-old Maisie McCullough, the mother of his 2-year-old son. She was found stabbed to death at the Marshfield home of Campos' mother Sept. 7. Campos was arrested at a Wisconsin Rapids motel the next day with their son, who was unharmed.
WSAW-TV says a June trial date has been set in McCullough's murder. Campos is expected to enter a plea to the newest charge Feb. 26.

E. Stephen VanDusen
December 28, 2012
E. Stephen VanDusen, 73, Baldwinsville and formerly of Adams, passed away Friday, December 28, 2012 at the Monroe Regional Hospital in Ocala, Florida.
Steve was born December 11, 1939 in Little Falls, NY, a son to Everett and Clara VanDusen.
