Nice shooting...stay safe...JJ
Finally my wife and made it to the range today. Only put 100 rounds through it. 50 from my wife who never shot a gun in her life. and 50 from me who never shot a hand gun. I think we did pretty good.
mine 15yards
wifes 7 yards
shot great
Nice shooting...stay safe...JJ
With more time, at those ranges, you should be all in the "A" in no time........they are smooth aren't they?
Its the only handgun i ever shot, so i can't compare it to anything else. But i love it.
Way to go, both of you.
nice job. i just began shooting also, it took a few clips to actually be able to aim. i was having too much fun just pulling the trigger lol
Thanks everyone now i can't wait to go again

couldn't the glue be thinned with water, put into a spray bottle and used that way? I just thought of that. I just bought a small bottle of the stuff myself to learn how to baste with it.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
couldn't the glue be thinned with water, put into a spray bottle and used that way? I just thought of that. I just bought a small bottle of the stuff myself to learn how to baste with it.
JanTx: I use the spray also, and to get around the overspray issue, I bought 2 huge thin vinyl tablecloths that I cover my working surface with. I put the can a little closer to the batting when I'm at the edges to decrease the overspray. I can simply wash the tablecloths with a hose out in the yard when they get too sticky....They cost $.75 each so sometimes I just throw them out and buy replacements! They are 108 X whatever (75??) so it's plenty big using two.
The last quilt I glue basted had visible dried glue spots from the front - a lot of white was in the top. When it was finished I threw it in the washer and no problems afterwards.
So many quilts, so little time.
I do not wash my quilts when I get done with them, so not sure if this would work. I tried the glue on a wallhanging which I do not plan to wash either and there are hard spots where I had put the glue, so think that is what would happen on a quilt too. Any suggestions?
I used this method on my last quilt, but my lines were probably twice as far apart and it still worked like a charm. Then used the glue for my binding as well. I had a few thicker glue areas, but didn't have any problems whatsoever with it gumming up my needle and once I finished it and washed it, all the glue came right out. Another thing...I don't have a ping pong table - just a 6' folding banquet-type table - and glue basted it in sections, letting it dry for about an hour in between sections. Again, not a problem. And because I basted this just before Christmas, things got busy and I folded up the quilt after I glued it and it set for about a month before I got it out to quilt it. Not a thing moved! I'm never going back to thread or pin basting!
I am giving this a try! Thanks for taking the time to do the tutorial and updates.
Thanks for the tutorial

The recent article about the Povda history is just another example of how much I appreciate Ms. Lane's efforts to document our town's history. She has served in so many capacities to make Danville the place it is and as a 25 year resident I just want to let her know many of us outside of the political mainstream are aware of her efforts. I am a history "nerd" and look forward to all her books about our wonderful area, and I can't count how many times I have seen her leading tours of our historic downtown as I embark on my Saturday morning run. On behalf of many I thank you!!
Merry Christmas to all-
Town Square
A Thanks To Beverly Lane

I bought my used gun from a really shady character somewhere in East Texas. I was at my weekend job as a valet car parking attendant and I was on my way to park a car and this guy on a Harley went, "Psst! Wanna buy a gun?"
I said, "I don't have much money."
Pulling out an XD-40 subcompact he goes "Well, I gots this small gun I'll sell ya for cheap. My wife will kick my ass if I don't get rid of some of these guns. She's already on to me. The gun safe is full."
I looked in the glove box of the car I was parking and found a few hundred bucks. I said "Ok buddy. I'll help you out."
The rest is history.

The Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School (PALCS) is a state-approved public cyber school for students in kindergarten through 12th grade who reside in Pennsylvania. The PALCS community digitally connects students and parents to PA-certified teachers and innovative curriculum.Learn More
Watch 2016 Commencement from June 11 online!
PALCS students are encouraged to be independent learners, critical thinkers, and empowered leaders.
PALCS parents nurture their child's educational growth by providing support and encouragement.
PALCS teachers are online every school day creating dynamic curriculum and working directly with families.
The School
PALCS was founded in 2004 and provides flexible, unique programs and leadership training to all students.
Our Families
As a student at PALCS, Evangeline has had the opportunity to dedicate much of her time to her passion, acting. There is hardly a time when she is not either in a play, rehearsing for a play, or auditioning for another play, sometimes concurrently.
She is on the phone with her teachers four, sometimes five, times a day. The accessibility is greater than in public school. They love being able to talk to their teachers. They send them notes outside of class. They feel like they are more than just teachers.
In many ways I feel more connected with Wilder's teachers now than when he was enrolled in traditional school. It's interesting how for being in cyber school, you feel connected. I wouldn't expect that. I think it is really great.
PA Leadership's students receive a better education, more elaborate and challenging. You get to know your child's strengths and weaknesses younger so when they reach high school, you're not trying to figure out what is happening with your child. You know all of it now.
In a traditional public school, once you're done with a class, to get back to that teacher is really hard. But at PALCS, every time Scarlett needed extra help, her math teacher would be right there. She would sit there with her and explain everything until she got it.
If you have other commitments or you want to do something outside of school. PALCS gives you the flexibility to be able to focus on your academics but also explore other areas of the arts, engineering, or anything you want to do.

The trust that works with Maori health groups says New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is "scaremongering'' with his comments that public money is being wasted on traditional healing practices.
Mr Peters today criticised the Ministry of Health for spending almost $2 million a year on the agencies.
Radio New Zealand reported the ministry has contracts with 15 Rongoa Maori agencies, which use traditional healing techniques such as massage and herbal remedies.
It has spent about $7.6 million funding the services over the past four years.
Mr Peters told Radio NZ there had been no analysis of how well the healing techniques work.
"You can't get any read-outs of results or any analysis of what is being done and how it's being done and the success rate. It's about $130 for each client contact when we've got not idea what's going on."
He said nobody was being held accountable for how the money was being spent.
"There's no place for a system which has no analysis as to whether it's successful, whether it's appropriate, what its likely success rate will be, whether changes should be made. On the face of it, it appears to be a serious waste of taxpayers' money."
Te Kahui Rongoa Trust, an umbrella group for the agencies, said Mr Peters had not contacted it about his concerns.
Chairman Albert Stewart said Mr Peters comments were "totally untrue".
"There is enough information (at the ministry) to confirm the amount of people who have been treated," he said.
"Clearly it's scaremongering on Winston's behalf hoping it's something to improve his popularity, he's found another reason in Maoridom to bash people around."
Mr Stewart said Maori health was in an "abysmal" state.
"Rongoa Maori is about providing a service that has not been there in the normal health service."
He said Mr Peters was welcome to visit the trust to discuss his comments with them.

Got into my hives this last weekend. Reversed those that needed it, cleaned the bottom boards, applied Apistan, Bee Pro pollen patties, and syrup with Honey Bee Healthy. All were in good shape although not much brood yet. I found it odd that my weakest hive is the one that did not move up... Hardly any stores left either, however they are bringing in the pollen. I can't for the life of me figure from where, there is nothing blooming yet, not even the elms.
I guess I'm doing something right, I haven't lost a hive over winter in four years. *KNOCK, KNOCK!*
I observed an area of about fifteen to twenty cells of honey in a 'V' shape that had a green mold growing out of it. This is new to me, does it mean anything? And what would cause it?
I also noticed that my SMR queen no longer has a paint mark on her. Does the paint wear off or has she been replaced?

The U.S. Commerce Department's United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the European Patent Office (EPO) today announced the formal launch of the Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) system, a global classification system for patent documents.
An ambitious harmonization effort, CPC is the product of a joint partnership between the USPTO and the EPO to develop a common, internationally compatible classification system for technical documents used in the patent granting process that incorporates the best classification practices from both offices. It will be used by the USPTO and more than 45 patent offices – a user community totaling more than 20,000 patent examiners – all sharing the same classifications helping to establish the CPC as an international standard.
Since October 2010, the USPTO and EPO have worked jointly to develop the CPC system, which includes approximately 250,000 classification symbols based on the International Patent Classification (IPC) system thus enabling examiners and patent users worldwide to conduct searches by accessing the same classified patent document collections. CPC will lead to more efficient prior art searches and enhance efficiency through work-sharing initiatives designed to reduce unnecessary duplication of work.
CPC definitions containing a thorough description of the technical subject-matter covered will be provided for every CPC subclass and regularly updated. Distance learning will be made available to users in early 2013.
For more detailed information about the new classification system, including the downloadable CPC schemes, CPC definitions and concordances (e.g. ECLA to CPC and CPC to IPC), please visit the official CPC website.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by linwood, Dec 7, 2011.
What about Mikki Moore and Ratko Varda?
I disagree with that. I followed him in Utah and his 1st two seasons there were his best, including the season he made the all-stars as a reserve.
Darko's best year was with Orlando. Amir's was obviously with Toronto. Delfino's was with Milwaukee. Blalock played his best ball with the Townsville Crocodiles where he made 21 times as many three as he did with Detroit.
I wonder Terrico got a shoe deal with the Crocs....
Terrico White invited to Hornets camp
Terrico White invited to the White House......
Terrico White invited to play tennis with Lee356.
Mike Tirico invited to the White House.
Was that before or after he got caught stalking women?
I just mean the White house that's on Pelham Rd. in Taylor, Mi.........
'Rico White numbers of tonight's game (yes, he is playing in New orleans who played against the Grizzlies ) 13 minutes 0 - 2 FG 1 PF 2 TO BUT.. In Memphis I read a familiar name WALTER SHARPE Played 17 minutes 5 points (2-3 FG) 5 rebounds 1 steal 1 TO 3 PF I think we all answer our question about which ex-piston is better now..
Would be cool to Sharpe secure a position in the league.
Cheer to this young man, cheer to everyone suffers from Nacolepsy.
He may turn out to be the real sleeper in that draft.
Give it a rest with the cheap jokes guys.
Guys are just warming up for when we have the Rodney Stuckey appreciation thread in a couple of months years.
I agree. Let's put those cheap jokes to bed.
Terrico White was waived guys.. Joe D! MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Joe D already made it happen for Terrico about 3 weeks ago.
Maybe time to give him a 10 day contract to see what he can do? For the Stampede this year, he's averaging 14 ppg on .511 shooting in 27 minutes per game. .422 from deep. If nothing else, it would get our tank out of the mud.

The brain is a fearsomely complex information-processing environment--one that often eludes our ability to understand it. At any given time, the brain is collecting, filtering, and analyzing information and, in response, performing countless intricate processes, some of which are automatic, some voluntary, some conscious, and some unconscious.Cognitive neuroscience is one of the ways we have to understand the workings of our minds. It's the study of the brain biology behind our mental functions: a collection of methods--like brain scanning and computational modeling--combined with a way of looking at psychological phenomena and discovering where, why, and how the brain makes them happen.Want to know more? Mind Hacks is a collection of probes into the moment-by-moment works of the brain. Using cognitive neuroscience, these experiments, tricks, and tips related to vision, motor skills, attention, cognition, subliminal perception, and more throw light on how the human brain works. Each hack examines specific operations of the brain. By seeing how the brain responds, we pick up clues about the architecture and design of the brain, learning a little bit more about how the brain is put together.Mind Hacks begins your exploration of the mind with a look inside the brain itself, using hacks such as "Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Turn On and Off Bits of the Brain" and "Tour the Cortex and the Four Lobes." Also among the 100 hacks in this book, you'll find:

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The tool on the cover of Mind Hacks is an incandescent light bulb. While many assume that Thomas Alva Edison invented the light bulb in 1879, Edison's actual achievement was to advance the design of the light bulb from a patent he purchased in 1875 from Canadian inventors Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans. Edison's improvement was to place a carbon filament in a vacuum bulb, which then burned for 40 hours. An English chemist, Humphrey Davy, invented the first electric light-an arc lamp-by connecting two wires to a battery and attaching a strip of charcoal in the middle of the circuit. Other inventors continued to make various incremental improvements in such areas as the filaments and the process for creating a vacuum in the bulb, but in 1879, Edison developed a triple threat: a carbon filament, lower voltage, and an improved vacuum in the bulb.In 1882, Pearl Street Station, in New York City, was the first central electricity-generating station constructed to support the light bulb invention. Although the alternating-current method of generating electricity proposed by Nikola Tesla proved to be the superior technical solution, Edison was engaged in a battle for control of America's electric infrastructure. Edison declared that his direct current system was safe and that alternating current was a deadly menace, which he publicly demonstrated for years by using alternating current to electrocute dogs and cats.But in 1893, when alternating current was used at the Chicago World's Fair to light 100,000 incandescent lightbulbs, the nearly 27 million people who attended the Columbian Exposition saw the safe and impressive demonstration of that technology. The event signaled the demise of direct current systems in the United States. Sarah Sherman was the production editor and proofreader for Mind Hacks, and Norma Emory was the copyeditor.

In his previous post, Dr. Ussery showed that Behe's analysis of the probability of getting beneficial mutations is flawed at fundamental levels. Beneficial mutations do occur, new genes do evolve and he cited some research articles that demonstrate this and then showed the interested reader how to gain access to the vast scientific literature that exists. He expresses concern that Michael Behe has not chosen to make the general public aware of what is being done in this arena.
In today's post he goes on to examine what Behe states is the limit of what Darwinian evolution can and cannot do.
Chapter 4 - What Darwinism Can Do
The title for this chapter is a bit deceptive, in that most of this chapter is not really about what evolution CAN do, but rather what the limits to evolution are (the topic for the next chapter). There is a short description of genome sequence analysis and the types of mutations observed in the laboratory, but in my opinion this chapter is really missing a thorough discussion of the astounding variety and diversity we find when we examine genomes.
Again, Behe emphasizes that he has no problem with evolution by common descent:
Over the next few sections I'll show some of the newest evidence from studies of DNA that convinces most scientists, including myself, that one leg of Darwin's theory - common descent - is correct. (page 65).
Once again, the problem is random mutations:
The bottom line is this. Common descent is true; yet the explanation of common descent – even the common descent of humans and chimps – although fascinating, is in a profound sense trivial. It says merely that commonalities were there from the start, present in a common ancestor. It does not even begin to explain where those commonalities come from, or how humans subsequently acquired remarkable differences. Something nonrandom must account for the common descent of life. (page 65, emphasis in the original).
I absolutely agree with Behe—there must be a 'non-random' account. But I'm a bit confused here, because natural selection is, by definition, definitely non-random. That's the whole point! There is (random) variation, and then those variants that are better are selected. It is not at all random. But Behe's claim here is that there are not enough random variants produced for evolution to occur. 150 years ago, at the time of Darwin's writing, it was not known whether the variation was random or produced in some other manner—and in a sense this did not matter.
What was important for Darwin was that the variation was there, and that the method for non-random selection—also known as "natural selection"—could account for the non-random common descent of life. One of the analogies Darwin used was "artificial selection," where, for example, dog breeders would breed certain traits, giving rise to a large variety of dogs within a short amount of time—merely by [non-randomly] selecting for desired traits. Darwin reasoned if this worked for breeders, why couldn't it work in natural environments? And as far as "random variations" go, we have quite a bit of variance in dogs, from tiny toy poodles to St. Bernards.
More than half the chapter is devoted to species that have had duplications of their entire genome. Behe focuses especially on yeast, although he mentions in a footnote that other whole genome duplications have been documented. But again, the text written is more within the framework of the limits of evolution—what it can't do, which should be the subject for the next chapter (I suspect a chapter strictly about what Behe thought evolutioncould do would be quite thin). The claim that "genome duplication…. has not given baker's yeast any advantage it wouldn't otherwise have had" (page 74) seems pretty harsh, especially now that more than two dozen different strains of yeast have been sequenced, and there are clear advantages in survival associated with duplication of many of these genes.
Perhaps, once again, Behe is not familiar with the literature and not willing to have a look at what has been published. I encourage the interested reader to go ahead and have a look at what is out there—go to PubMed, and type in the words "yeast genome duplication evolution" and have a look at the articles found. Today when I did this, I found 420 articles. The second one on the list has this statement in the concluding sentence of the abstract: "Our results provide a scenario for how evolution like a tinker exploits pre-existing materials of a conserved post-transcriptional regulon to regulate gene expression for novel functional roles." Behe concludes the chapter by saying that "although Darwin hoped otherwise, random variation doesn't explain the most basic features of biology" (page 83).
For more on what evolution CAN do, I mention "The Edge of Evolution" in a footnote in the last chapter (Evolution of Microbial Communities) of my textbook on Comparative Genomics. It is in a section on "Where Does Diversity Come From?," and I make the statement that some anti-evolutionists "claim that there is not enough diversity in bacterial populations for evolution to occur." I encourage the interested reader to have a look at this section, as I think it is a nice culmination of a story I've slowly built up through the previous chapters on bacterial genomics.
I readily admit that this is something that takes time to understand and cannot easily be explained in a 10-second sound bite—this textbook came from a course I've taught at the Technical University of Denmark since 2000. Currently the course meets in the autumn semester, for 8 hours a week, for 13 weeks; this year I have 54 students. So this takes time to explain, but my point here is that the claim that nothing has changed over the past 10 years, in terms of evidence for evolution and documented diversity, is simply wrong.
Chapter 5 - What Darwinism Can't Do
The title of this chapter reminds me of a book by Lenny Moss, called What Gene's Can't Do. I think this is a wonderful book, kind of countering the "gene-centric" popular culture. It's a well-written book, and in my opinion he makes some valid scientific points. Unfortunately, although Behe could have had a similar good discussion here, instead we are treated to poor quality left-overs. This chapter is kind of an update on "irreducible complexity" as outlined in Behe's previous book, Darwin's Black Box. In spite of strong protestations from many (including myself) in their reviews of that work, Behe still clings to the idea that no one has ever published anything about the evolution of these complex molecular machines. "Despite the amazing advance of molecular biology as a whole, despite the sequencing of hundreds of entire genomes and other leaps in knowledge, despite the provocation of Darwin's Black Box itself, in the more than ten years since I pointed out that a situation concerning missing Darwinian explanations for the evolution of the cilium is utterly unchanged" (page 95).
Again, the interested reader is invited to visit PubMed, type in "cilium evolution" and see for oneself: are we to believe that articles with titles like "The evolution of the cilium and the eukaryotic cell" and 'Origin of the cilium: novel approaches to examine a centriolar evolution hypothesis" simply don't exist? Perhaps if one closes their eyes, and clicks their heels three times, thinking, "They don't exist, they don't exist," maybe these articles can simply vanish!
Last week I gave a lecture in my course about the 10th anniversary of sequencing the human genome. In the field of genomics, much has happened in the past 10 years. There has been an explosion in the amount of genomic data available, and also in the strong, clear evidence for evolution in exactly the manner Behe claims is impossible and will never happen. To put this in perspective—when I first came to the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis in 1997, there were four bacterial genomes sequenced. Last week, in my course I showed an update of the currently sequenced genomes: there are now more than four thousand genomes sequenced, and the number is growing on a daily basis. And the more genomes we sequence, the more we learn about how evolution works. When I was growing up, the preacher in our church used to say, "Did you hear about the guy who said 'It can't be done?' Well he got run over by the guy doing it!" I think there is some truth in this—Behe says it can't be done, and a decade later, despite this vast amount of data, he claims things remain "utterly unchanged."
In my next post, I will examine Behe's discussion of whether random mutation hitched to natural selection is a biological explanation for various molecular phenomena.

They call them Cranberry Bogs as a whole, but the cranberries are actually grown in beds (Roland's Football Fields).
The beds are ditched around the outside of each bed (deep ditch). Each bed is separated by a dike with a road on it for the harvest/main. trucks, the beds have a floodgate at one end that is usually fed by a ditch of water on the other side of the dike.
The beds are constructed on the spruce/peat bog and usually nearby will be a large reservoir that they can pump out of to fill the ditches that fill the beds.
They fill the beds with approx 2-3 ft of water for harvest (Late Sept-Nov) because they use a big rotary beater (like a giant rototiller) to loosen the berries off of the vines and then the berries float to the surface of the water.
Then the grunt workers with waders on pull booms (floats) that span the entire width of bed toward the opposite end with the wind to help and yes the ditches are really deep and you can not see them in the cloudy water . Once the berries are corralled at one corner of the bed they are raked/floated up onto an elevator (like a hay elev.) with dump trucks under the other end, which haul them up to the drying/cleaning building where they are loaded onto semis and hauled to the big factory.
They drain the beds as soon as they have been harvested and actually haul dump truck loads of sand and put on the beds in the winter to firm up the beds and b/c crans prefer to grow in sandy well drained soil. (remember these are not wild crans, they are plantings).
Also crans are very touchy to frost and they have alarms set up with thermometer controls so the workers can wake up and turn on the big irrigation pumps as each bed is set up with sprinkler/irrigation system and they water the berries so they don't get frosted. This takes place until they are harvested and the irrigation pipes must be pulled prior to harvest (which was also one of my jobs).
I lived in Northern WI right next to a Cranberry Bog (Division of Oceanspray) and worked there as a seasonal harvest grunt for a few years!


text: Hi all: This is the strangest thing. We have a ton of bees at the front door of our house. My hive is in the backyard of our house close to a small pond. We have a mat at the front door that is saturated with water from the recent rains we have had here. Could the door mat be causing the bees to congregate to get water (I mean I have a pond for them in back)? The front door gets full sun and perhaps it is heating up the water? My guess is the water in the pond in backyard is too cold for them? This is a problem too because we have our home for sale and when prospective buyers come and there are tons of bees at the front door it looks bad especially with a bee hive in the backyard (of course we are moving the hive when we sell). Most people don't understand the honey bee. This is something that has just recently started in the past three days. I just moved the door mat to see if that will help. Should I smoke the area by the door? My husband is getting upset because he thinks it will scare the potential buyers off. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you in advance for your help.

Day two of 'Facebook murder' trial ends
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. - The double murder trial against a Johnson County man continued on Tuesday.
Police say Marvin Potter killed Billy Payne, Jr. and Billie Jean Hayworth in Mountain City, Tennessee after authorities say the couple de-friended his adult daughter on Facebook.
The prosecution was making its case on the second day of the trial. The emotions in the courtroom were still high.
Day two brought several witnesses, a recorded conversation between the Potters and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents, and an interview with Potter after he was arrested.
Four witnesses were called to the stand Tuesday by the prosecution. The first witness called was Karen Cline-Parhamovich, the state forensic pathologist, who told the court the couple's cause of death. "Mr. Payne [was killed by] a gunshot wound and sharp force injuries of the neck. For Ms. Hayworth, it was a gunshot wound to the head," she told the court.
She said there were no defensive wounds found on either of their bodies.
The prosecution then called Brad Osborne, who worked with Payne and rode with him to work every day. Osborne also told the court he would occasionally buy pain pills from Payne, four or five at a time. "He was actually seeking help [for pain pill addiction]. He was going to a clinic to try to get off of them," Osborne said.
But family members tell us that isn't true."I knew my sister too well. I knew Bill well. They didn't do anything like that unless it was a prescription," Billie Jean's sister Beverly Morrell said. "That was it, but as far as anything else, no."
The next witness was Roy Stephens, who occasionally stayed with the victims and found their bodies. "I walked up and touched [Payne's] arm about right there to shake him and no response," Stephens said on the stand. "I backed up and said, 'No, no, no, no,' and I realized he was dead."
The prosecution then played an interview between police and Potter after he was arrested for the murders, where he holds onto his innocence. "I did not kill Billie Hayworth," he said on the tape.
The prosecution is expected to continue to call witnesses on the third day of the trial.

desmopressin (Nasal route)Pronunciation
Commonly used brand name(s)
In the U.S.
- DDAVP Rhinal Tube
- Minirin
- Stimate
Available Dosage Forms:
- Solution
- Spray
Therapeutic Class: Endocrine-Metabolic Agent
Pharmacologic Class: Vasopressin (class)
Uses For desmopressin
Desmopressin nasal spray is used to treat central cranial diabetes insipidus. This is a condition that causes the body to lose too much fluid and become dehydrated. It is also used to control frequent urination and increased thirst caused by certain types of brain injury or brain surgery. The Stimate® nasal spray is used to treat bleeding in patients with hemophilia A or von Willebrand disease (Type I).
Desmopressin is similar to a hormone that is produced in the body. It acts on the kidneys to reduce the flow of urine. For bleeding, desmopressin increases the blood levels of factor VIII and von Willebrand factor. This results in less bleeding for patients who have low levels of these agents.
desmopressin is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before Using desmopressin
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For desmopressin, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to desmopressin or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of desmopressin nasal spray for diabetes insipidus in children 3 months of age and older.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of Stimate® to treat hemophilia A and von Willebrand disease in children 11 months of age and older. However, use is not recommended in children younger than 11 months of age.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of desmopressin nasal spray in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving desmopressin.
|Pregnancy Category
|All Trimesters
|Animal studies have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus, however, there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR animal studies have shown an adverse effect, but adequate studies in pregnant women have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus.
Breast Feeding
Studies in women suggest that this medication poses minimal risk to the infant when used during breastfeeding.
Interactions with Medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of desmopressin. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Blood clotting problems or

Proper Use of desmopressin
Use desmopressin exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer time than your doctor ordered.
desmopressin comes with patient instructions. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
desmopressin should only be used in the nose.
Your doctor may limit the amount of fluid or water you drink. Follow the instructions carefully to prevent unwanted effects.
To use the nasal spray:

- Gently blow your nose before using the spray. Tilt your head back slightly and insert the tip of the nose piece into your nostril.
- Close the opposite nostril with a finger. Release one spray and breathe in gently at the same time.
- Hold your breath for a few seconds then breathe out slowly through the mouth.
- If a second dose is needed, spray the opposite nostril using the same steps.
- Do not blow your nose or tip your head back after using the spray.
- Wipe the tip of the bottle with a clean, dry tissue and replace the cap.
- Throw away any unused medicine after 25 sprays (Stimate®) or 50 sprays (DDAVP® or desmopressin generic).

- The rhinal tube applicator is a soft, flexible plastic tube with numbers printed on the side. The numbers represent the dose.
- Place the correct amount of medicine in the tube by inserting the tip of the container in the end of the tube that is marked with an arrow.
- Put the end of the tube that is marked with an arrow into one nostril and put the other end into your mouth.
- Hold your breath, tilt the head back, and blow with a short, strong puff until all the medicine is sprayed into the nose.
- Do not let medicine run into your throat.
- For young children, an adult must blow the medicine into the nose.
- Wash the tube with water and shake it to remove all of the water.
- Put the seal back on the container tip and replace the plastic cap.
The dose of desmopressin will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of desmopressin. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For nasal dosage form (nasal spray):
- For treatment of diabetes insipidus:

Precautions While Using desmopressin
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to use it. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
desmopressin lowers the amount of sodium in your blood. Check with your doctor right away if you have confusion, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps or spasms, or unusual tiredness or weakness.
Desmopressin may rarely cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, swelling of the face, tongue, and throat, trouble breathing, or chest pain after you use desmopressin.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.

Time for Darth to go with the block "M" avatar.......
I have worn a Michigan T shirt for all four Michigan wins. I have two more M T shirts, a jersey and a jacket to choose from for next week...
Still likin this post........
If you make enough predictions, one of them is bound to come true....even you, Nemo....
just saw a replay of the Kevin ware injury in Louisville vs Duke..I left the room during the game and didnt see the actual play. Having seen it and watching the players reaction, its the saddest basketball injury Ive ever seen. Its around the 7:00 mark of 1st half after Duke hits a 3 pointer..... March Madness Live
I wss looking down at the time and even though they showed it on a replay twice right after it happen it wasn't until a buddy called me asked I see it did I rewind my DVR to look at it. Since I knew what was going to happen we were able to prepare for it. Reminds me of the Theisman and Shawn Livingston injury. The team over came the emotional crisis of the situation and responded with a resounding victory.
I felt for the guys right in front of him on the bench.......their immediate reaction says it all.
I missed it, don't know what the injury was, and will attempt to never watch the replay. The worst part is that he is in college and hasn't been paid yet... at least not substantially.
MY twin 13yearold's watched it and they felt OK afterwards...but the reactions of the players wll break your heart more. Kellogg could barely speak...
Yeah, I'm not interested in feeling that pain. I'm just getting over the flu, and that's bad enough. Did someone fall on him or did it just snap on landing ?
He leaped to block a 3 pointer and came down like a branch falling off a tree....it was awful....right in front of his bench. I couldnt believe the idiots at CBS showed it 3 times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe Thiesman came on the radio saying, these things happen in sports. Ah, no, Joe someone fell on the back of your leg and snapped it. This kid probably had thin bones.
Michigan is a great school and deserves a great basketball coach. That was the point I was trying to make. I don't think Beilein is it, but if future UM teams ramp up their defense, I will certainly give him his praise. Great coaches realize the importance of defense. From what I have seen, UM still lives and dies by the 3-ball. It worked out for them against Florida.
You have a memory like an elephant.
As of right now Bielein is coach of the year. Let's see what he comes up with to fix that 2-3 zone.
Michigan beats the Oranges. They get to face Louisville in the NCAA Final on Monday. Stats looked scary for UM, but against a defensive powerhouse........a win is a win.
From the sounds of the analysts, Michigan played poorly and won, and Syracuse played great and lost. Go figure!
They played those last 5 minutes not lose instead of playing to win. Those missed FT almost cost them game in the end. The refs may have bailed them out the end but flops and all, we'll take it. One thing in their favor is that they are 20-0 vs non Big 10 teams this season
I think these kids helped...with their sign. Remember those time-outs, Michigan, with this fan's helpful sign | The Dagger: College Basketball Blog - Yahoo! Sports

Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!

I was at camp today. Randle looks great. It was nice to see Aaron Ross have a nice day too. I'm concerned over David Wilson. He looks small out there. I'm worried about his ability to run between the tackles.
I do wonder about what players aren't on the field and the very limited amount of time they have to get ready for the season.
He can be a problem to Nicks whether you think so or not as long as he's the only one of the two doing anything on the field.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Love hearing the stuff about Prince...Randle too. Breakout years for everyone. Wilson, Austin, Jernigan, Curry, Rivers....and MORE!
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
Nicks only needs to stay healthy. He has nothing to worry about with Randle. When healthy he is a top WR in the league.

I am a slacker.
When you're a slacker, you don't check the hive that is farthest from the house because you checked the one that is by the back door.
When you don't check your hive for 3 weeks +, you don't know you went queenless at least a week before.
You also don't see the wax moth colony that actually owns the hive now.
When you don't know you have wax moths, you don't prevent them from ruining all your drawn comb.
When they ruin all your comb you have to trash it all.
When you trash all your comb, you feel bad and dumb even though you just learned a lesson.
Lesson is don't be a slacker.

TBR honors local philanthropist
The Tennessee Board of Regents started their meeting Friday morning with a special award for a local philanthropist.
The regents presented James Martin with the annual award for philanthropy. Martin has given several million dollars to local arts programs, including a recent $3 million gift to East Tennessee State University to kick off the fundraising for a proposed performing arts center.
Because of that gift and several others the performing arts program at ETSU is now named for his late wife Mary B. Martin.
"When you bring together his contributions today coupled with his gift we announced a few weeks ago, he is single-handedly transforming the fate of the arts at our institution," said ETSU president Brian Noland.
James and Mary B. Martin worked for Eastman Chemical Company for many years. They hold several patents, which helped them become very successful.
Martin says he wants to use his money to help promote arts programs across the region.

Burning ban goes into effect as snow melts to reveal dry grass
Late snows and late thaws make for deceptively dry brush and grass that can contribute to higher dangers of wildfire.
"The low humidity and the wind, lack of rain, warm days — it all contributes to drying things out," said Pine River Fire Chief Kevin Kleiner. "Usually when the snow melts you wouldn't think of the grass and the land as being dry, but it always is really dry until we get a lot of good rain."
As a result of these dry spring conditions, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) began a burning ban Monday, May 6, in Crow Wing, southern Cass and 13 additional Minnesota counties. This is a standard procedure to prevent fires that could destroy wild land and property, and pose a threat to human life.
"In the past fire season, I would say this period might last maybe up to a month, but it just depends. This is a real late spring, too. Whether that is going to have anything to do with it, I don't know. But in a typical year, let's say the snow is gone in the middle of April, I would say probably about the middle of May," Kleiner said of the length of the fire season.
Hackensack Fire Chief Tony Peterson, among other authorities, said the burning ban would remain until conditions become less dry.
"It depends upon if we have any moisture. It all comes back to that moisture thing," Peterson said. "The grass has got to be green. You have to get a little bit of leaves on the trees."
Peterson said temperatures and light were also determining factors in how long it will take for grasses to green up in the area.
Kleiner said the DNR Forestry Division handles most grass or brush fires, though fire departments sometimes assist by protecting structures from spreading fire, filling water tanks for the DNR and helping in other ways. Fire trucks and water tankers do not operate well on muddy, minimum maintenance roads. Fire departments prefer to keep their heavy vehicles on solid ground.
Mark Mortensen, DNR fire program forester in Brainerd, said muddy roads could be the least of the difficulties crews responding to wildfires face.
"We have no water available at this point for use of the CL-215 air tankers," Mortensen said last week, noting there were no large enough openings of water for the water scoopers.
As with any time of year, fire prevention is key. That's why residents should follow the burning ban. What starts off as a leaf fire, camp fire or even a barbecue grill could potentially set off a dangerous blaze that could destroy homes as well as wild lands.
"I suggest that they don't even try it (burning during the burning ban)," Kleiner said. "When people are burning things, be careful, watch the wind, watch where you are burning at. Things can change real quickly when you are burning."
"Just be careful when you're out there doing that stuff. If they're not careful it can get away from them so quick, and the wind isn't going to help them out at all, it'll just spread it faster," Peterson said. "It's coming. As soon as a lot of people start coming back and cleaning their yards, it's going to happen."
Spring brush and grass fires are common. The Pine River and Hackensack fire departments each responded to between six and eight uncontrolled grass or brush fires last year.

"I looked at him and said, 'I have no idea how to do this,'" the physician recalls. But he vowed to find someone who did. In doing so — by calling scores of local endocrinologists (specialists trained to diagnose and treat hormone issues), and being roundly (and in some cases, rudely) rebuffed — Bartlett discovered a huge knowledge gap among medical professionals. Doctors were either unaware of, disinterested in, or prejudiced against transgender issues; as a result, people who identified as transgender were not getting the care they needed.
"Frankly, I was appalled," Bartlett says. "I feel that this is a legitimate medical need that people have, and it wasn't being met."
His well-informed patient did some independent research, obtained a clinical protocol (i.e., drug-treatment guidelines and information about dosage and possible side effects) from a facility in California, and provided the information to Bartlett. With the protocol in-hand, Bartlett felt more comfortable prescribing the hormones and monitoring the patient's progress. It was a rewarding experience.
"She blossomed into the woman she was supposed to be," Bartlett says. "It was very, very gratifying."
And so Bartlett decided to become better versed in transgender care. More than just hormone prescriptions and surgery referrals, this work involves seemingly insignificant things like making sure that both medical forms and front-desk staff can accommodate non-traditional gender identities. At its peak, Bartlett's practice served approximately 50 transgender patients. (These days, at the intimate, integrative True North health care center in Falmouth, Bartlett estimates that 10 to 15 of his smaller pool of patients are transgender.) And while he acknowledges that the medical profession is populated by "more and more folks who are getting comfortable with" transgender issues, there is a long way to go.
"There's still a real dearth of trans-competent health care providers," says Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality in Washington DC. "Fewer and fewer are hostile, but there are few who are aware of all the issues."
Especially in a rural state like Maine, it can be difficult to find appropriate resources, says Alex Roan, who about three years ago founded the Maine Transgender Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to public education and support for Maine's trans community. Fixing the problem requires practical infrastructure that isn't in place. "There's really not many opportunities for providers to have training," says Roan, who operates, through MaineTransNet, a fledgling provider database and referral system.
To say nothing of the fact that few types of transgender care are covered under health-insurance plans — or that insurance can be especially difficult to procure if you can't get a job (see sidebar).

CELESTIAL CAFE | 401.295.5559 | 567 South County Rail [Rt 2], Exeter | Mon-Thurs, 11:45 Am-9 Pm; Fri-Sat, 11:45 Am-10 Pm; Sun, 8:30 Am-8 Pm | Major Credit Cards | Full Bar
Branden Read opened it with its aunt, Cheryl Zannella, in 2002, hopeful that the upper-income commuters among the woodland denizens would keep them in business when the summer tourists flocking to Rhode Island beaches flapped away. His if-I-serve-it-they-will-come attitude has worked out well.
The place is attractive, with elegant touches such as chair backs composed of thin strips of bamboo surrounded by dark wood. Violet napkins, folded like bishop mitres, are atop paper on tablecloths, bistro-style. Celestial Bistro would have been more accurate than Café, but Read went for alliteration.
The chef is big on going local. Accordingly, Celestial has monthly farm dinners. We caught one last November that was enjoyable. The squash soup was in little pumpkins, nicely accented with cinnamon and nutmeg. The roasted chicken wasn't too shabby either. Johnnie is picky about jonnycakes, but the West Bay ones served, thick and moist, met with approval.
Read regularly dispenses samples at farmers markets. In recent memory, he made Kenyon's Mill pancakes with local peaches and Rhode Island maple syrup, and another time he offered tortilla chips and a delicious red pepper and eggplant relish, having harvested ingredients from the booths of attending farmers.
Celestial Café is a place we gladly go to when we're not reviewing. In recent months Johnnie and a friend enjoyed two appetizers for lunch — ginger scallops ($14) and steamed sweet potato wontons ($9). The latter is more complex than it sounds, with bok choy and corn complementing the main ingredient, softened with ricotta and perked up with a garlic sherry cream sauce.
With a friend at lunch a few weeks ago, I had the seared sesame-encrusted ahi tuna ($18; $24 for dinner), reprising a meal enjoyed there years before, appreciating the slices of fresh mango on the side. Gary had what was billed as an organic thin-crust pizza, the grilled BBQ version ($8). It was piled high not only with grilled chicken and caramelized onions but also bacon and mozzarella. Reportedly it tasted great, but what wasn't appreciated was that it was made with a large tortilla rather than pizza dough. It doesn't waste much ink to specify that in a menu.
On our most recent visit, we started with the calamari. We are always looking for interesting variations on the same-old traditional Rhode Island version. Instead of the standard, both an Oriental and a citrus pesto calamari are offered (each $11). The former contains mushrooms, pea pods, scallions, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots, which sound like compatible party guests for a soy-ginger glaze. We had the latter, an interesting lemony version with lots of capers and minced basil. Lightly battered and fried before being tossed with the white wine and limoncello sauce, the crispiness of the calamari came through more than I expected.

Judge Watanabe to lecture on use of lay judges in Japan for criminal cases
October 25, 2012
DETROIT — Japanese Judge Mitsuaki Watanbe will present a free public lecture at Wayne State University Law School at 12:15 p.m. Nov. 5 in the third-floor faculty lounge. Lunch will be provided.
The judge's lecture, titled "An Introduction to the Actual Circumstances of the Saiban-in System," will be about the system in Japan where lay judges, selected from the public, participate in trial proceedings for serious criminal cases. The system has been in place since May 2009.
Watanabe is here as part of a special arrangement by Wayne Law, the Third Circuit Court of Michigan and the Supreme Court of Japan. The arrangement, which began in 2007, provides for a judge from the Japanese judicial system to visit Michigan to research and study the American judicial system, with a special emphasis on Michigan trial courts.
"We are pleased to welcome Judge Watanabe for this lecture," said Wayne Law Dean Robert Ackerman. "This leading Japanese jurist will offer an interesting legal perspective to our students."
For more details, contact the Law School Dean's Office at 313-577-3933.

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.

Senate Approves Bills to Strengthen and Improve Election Day Practices
For years uncertainty and lack of accountability surrounded our elections. Throughout this legislative session we worked to prevent voting irregularities and prevent serious administrative errors by implementing clear uniform processes and practices at polling places. This week the senate approved several measures to ensure integrity and fairness electors expect and trust are in place during elections.
Senate Bill 265, strengthens fairness and security during elections by requiring, as practical, each political party have representation on each specific job within the polling place for each task requiring two or more people. SB 265 ensures each party has trusted workers at each polling place in case problems arise.
Senate Bill 267, improves and secures the voter registration process by enforcing the Constitutional requirement electors are residents of the district they vote.
Senate Bill 377, provides the public with information about Election Day statistics by requiring the Government Accountability Board (GAB) publish results of the Election Day voter registration audit and Election Day statistics on its website. SB 377 shines a light on Election Day voter registration, addressing the growing concern about the influx of same day registrants.
Senate Bill 548, grants GAB the authority and responsibility for conducting four-year maintenance of the state's Voter Registration List, and requires GAB publish results of the four-year maintenance on its website. Establishing accountability for maintenance of the Statewide Voter Registration System ensures the registration list is current and accurate, preventing voter impersonation during Election Day.
Statutorily Wisconsin Elections are designed to be staffed by members of the two major parties. Senate Bill 20, expands the pool of eligible poll workers by permitting municipal clerks and political parties to recruit poll workers from throughout the county. This bill assists municipal clerks to recruit an adequate number of poll workers and provide party representation at the polls to assure elections are administered with a fair and transparent method.
All of the Election Day integrity bills approved by the Wisconsin State Senate are sent to the State Assembly for action.
Senate Approves Updates to Wisconsin's Election and Campaign Finance Law
Senate Bill 655, modernizes Wisconsin's Campaign Finance laws to reflect advancements in technology, codify state law and federal law, update outdated statutory provisions, and solidify best practices into state law.
The bill adopts Federal Election Commission regulations governing internet activity. The bill clarifies individuals acting on their own behalf and not compensated for their internet activity do not have to register with the Government Accountability Board, specifically protecting First Amendment online speech from government regulation. Examples of internet activity are blogs and Facebook. If there is compensation, registration with the Government Accountability is required.
Existing law prohibits lobbyists from making contributions prior to the legislature concluding its final floor period or while the legislature is in special or extraordinary session. SB 655 does not make changes to that prohibition. The bill reflects dates adopted during last session about the federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act. The dates were inadvertently omitted within MOVE Act legislation during last session. Accusation that this will open the flood gates to lobbyist contributions during the legislative session are false and fear mongering by Senate Democrats.
SB 655 is a fair-minded, housekeeping bill that modernizes Wisconsin campaign finance law, and that we negotiated changes with democrats in good faith.
Upon final approval of SB 655 by the State Senate the bill was sent to the State Assembly.
The State Senate Next Week
The State Senate is scheduled to be on the Senate floor March 18, 2014. The State Assembly is scheduled to be on the Assembly floor March 18 and 20, 2014 The 2013-2014 last general-business floor session is April 3, 2014.

What is the preffered fin set up for the Stealth? I am unsure which setup (Quad or Thruster) to go and have no way of testing future fins.

Hey All, use my Firewire email, email@example.com for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
i would say that you should try both if possible. get yourself a good 5 fin set...
I personally would ride it mostly as a thruster because I think it rides a bit more like a conventional shortboard, but there are definitely arguments to try it both ways...
Hey, I'm going through the same issue. I'm about to buy a 5'10 stealth and was very keen on riding it as a quad but have my current fins as a backup thruster set. I was thinking about either getting the FCS Q-PC5 set of the Kinetik BI-Q4 fins. I'm leaning towards the Q-PC5 set which in the PC-5 front set and a GX-Q rear set. Has anyone had experience with either of these and could offer advice?
I was running the GAM up front with the SF4 rears, but I recently switched the rears to the Q-1 (super upright / pivoty). I like these rears so much better. I tested both sets out in waves that were around 5-8ft. With the SF4s in the back, I had monster drive . . . I would actually say too much lol. Once I put the Q-1's in the rear, I noticed that the board felt like it was paddling with less drag (I felt this getting into waves too). The fins are definitely more pivoty and the board feels livelier (and turns tighter), which is just what I was looking for.
Now I just need to experiment with swapping the front fins out. The GAM's are so big and raked out, but I'm having a bunch of fun with the current setup, so no complaints or whining or anything. I just love messing around with different setups :)

VS Nubster in rear top tab
Since these went in this board, they haven't come out, All the speed of the quad, and the control of a thruster.
This board has become my daily driver for its versatility of mush to overhead
If there was one thing i could change about this board, it would be to give it just a bit of nose kick, nothing drastic, just like the sub-scorcher! then it would be the ultimate quiver killer.Last edited by stylar; 11-03-2012, 09:00 PM.
hey joe i tried the k quads, and loved it. i just bought the k.2 thrusters and i cant wait to try them, i tried the k3 thrusters, but i felt they were to big and i was stalling a lot , it felt i had lead weights on my fins,on waist to head high hawaii surf shore pound. i also tried some SA3 quads and they felt a bit stiff, i was thinking of getting the H3 thrusters also. ill let you know whats up soon
Stylar - I was wondering if you could clarify what "rear top tab meant"? I'm assuming this is the tab that is closer to the nose (not the one that is closer to the tail)?
It seems kind of weird for me to put the nubster in there since it would be right in between the rear fins, but I've heard other people rave about this Stealth setup as well.
I love the nubster in some of my other boards, but the two times that I've tried it in the stealth (with SF4 set, GAM/SF4, and GAM/Q1, it has always made it feel a bit more sluggish. Part of the problem might be the monstrous GAM side fins.

Hey scotty, I put the knubster it the top tab, meaning the the one closer to the nose of the board, which does put it right in the middle of the back quad fins, if you put it in the rear tab closest to the tail, it anchors the board and makes it next to impossible to turn, which is what happened to me the first time i tried it, the next day, just thought i put it in the top tab and it went magic.
Because of the stealth's unique wide bat tail, and the relation of the rear quad fins to the bat points in the tail, the board pivots on a dime, in smaller or fuller waves, the stealth performs as a quad with no problems, its when you start getting into 4-6 solid waves you will notice the board will weave more than needed giving you that skatey feel, and this is where the knubster comes into play. Positioned in the top tab the knubster just straightens your down the line drive and gives that extra needed hold when hard bottom turning. Best of all there is 0 impact on the release when cracking it off the top of a wave.
Actually in the picture of me a few post up, I didn't have the knubster then just the quad setup, and out of the six shots you see, it was the first image where I'm doing a hard bottom turn where I felt the most out of control, like the board was about to pivot from underfoot, and I remember i had to hold to turn and hit the section a little further down than i actually wanted too. That's the difference the knubster has made with this board, gives you that thruster control feeling but with all the speed the quad.
hope this helps scotty,
If in doubt give it go yourself, you'll start felling it work after a few waves, and once you do the knubster wont come out again.
Thanks so much for the clarification man; I really appreciate it. Yep, I only tried the nubster in the tab closest to the bat tail and like you said, it was a disaster. You're right about the Stealth being pretty damn good as a quad in average sized waves; I've been really impressed with the design. Just thinking about it I'm grinning and getting stoked to get back out in the water. Still using same GAM / Q1 setup though - need to get off my ass and start experimenting. Just wish the AB-TOW's were a bit cheaper haha
Stylar your the man , I was having trouble here in Maui with my knub, also , I just couldn't figure out why I was stalling down the face, even changing up my quads, so thank you, I love my stealth !!best board I ever had, what's a good step up board!? Any thoughts
