Expanding Foam Stops Internal Bleeding in Soldiers

The foam can reduce blood loss six-fold and boost the rate of survival at three hours post-injury to 72 percent
A new type of foam that is injected into the body could save the lives of countless soldiers
wounded on the battlefield
The U.S. Department of Defense's (DOD) Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been working with a medical company that can
help soldiers survive
internal abdominal injuries and internal hemorrhaging.
The DOD strives to accomplish what is known as the "Golden Hour," which transports a wounded soldier to a medical facility in under an hour. However, for those suffering from internal abdominal injuries and internal hemorrhaging, their chances of surviving an entire hour with a large amount of blood loss are quite slim.
Currently, there are limited solutions for temporarily taking care of internal hemorrhaging while transporting a soldier to the hospital. Internal wounds cannot be compressed, and tourniquets and hemostatic dressings cannot be used due to the need to see the actual injury.
To address this issue, DARPA started the Wound Stasis System program in 2010. Through the program, it found Arsenal Medical, Inc., which developed the new foam method.
This is how the foam works: two liquid phases are injected into the abdominal cavity. The first liquid phase is a polyol phase, and the second is a isocyanate phase. When these two liquids are combined, they two different reactions take place. The first expands the liquid to about 30 times its original volume where it fits the surfaces of the injured tissue. The second transforms the liquid into solid foam, which becomes a polyurethane polymer. It is capable of resisting intra-abdominal blood loss, and can expand through both pooled and clotted blood.
The foam, which can be quickly and easily removed by doctors once the soldier is taken to the medical facility, can reduce blood loss six-fold and heighten the rate of survival at three hours post-injury to 72 percent. This number was at 8 percent without the foam. The foam showed that it could treat a lethal liver injury for three hours before reaching medical treatment.
"Wound Stasis has been an exciting program because we were able to move unexpectedly from fundamental research to a pre-clinical proof-of-concept based on the strength of our findings," said
Brian Holloway
, DARPA program manager. "According to the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, internal hemorrhage is the leading cause of potentially survivable deaths on the battlefield, so the Wound Stasis effort should ultimately translate into an increased rate of survival among warfighters. If testing bears out, the foam technology could affect up to 50 percent of potentially survivable battlefield wounds. We look forward to working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on future regulatory submission of this device, and with our partners, the Army Institute of Surgical Research and Special Operations Command, on getting this technology to where it's desperately needed on the front lines."
DARPA gave Arsenal Medical, Inc. $15.5 million for Phase II of foam development.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Got my name while still on vacation in Spain, so I managed to get her a couple of Spanish gifts, including something she collects. When I add a couple of local things, the parcel will be Spottish
Lang may yer lum reek. (I'm a knitter - hence - 'Knit-ette'. Confuses a lot of people!)
2. ALL packages MUST have a DELIVERY CONFIRMATION when sent. Last year there were too many packages that were sent late and a few that were not received. With a Delivery Confirmation, the package can be somewhat tracked when received. If the receiver HAS NOT received their package from you and you said you sent it, you will be required to PROVE your sending with a copy of the mail receipt showing such. The mail receipt will show that you paid for the Delivery Confirmation, along with the zip code that the package was shipped to.
So, DO NOT toss the receipt or the Deliveryy Confirmation slip away UNTIL YOU HEAR THAT YOUR PERSON HAS RECEIVED THEIR PACKAGE!
I am Quilter Hear Me Roar...
you can put delivery confirmation on nearly everything package-wise, except international. But you do get some proof of sending when you do international, just can't track it. Priority mail is a fast, and middle of the road in pricing method. Express is super fast and super expensive, ground is super slow and cheap.. heheh.. so you don't necessarily have to use the priority box, but you should check the weight/dimensions/distance and see what it would be with a normal box, vs what it would be with the priority box if you are tight for money. Sometimes it's a lot cheaper if it's not going far and isn't very heavy, to use a normal box.
I'm so tired of being tired.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
Well, today I went to the PO to mail a package. I asked her the diff in cost between priority and parcel post. There was $8 difference, and only 2 days difference. So I opted for the cheaper rate. I love the priority boxes for shipping anything fabric related because fabric items are heavy, and it is amazing how much I can pack into a large flat rate box. I am packing my box as I go along and will decide what all to put into it based on how much room I have left in the box.
Jingle bells, santa smells
dead fish all the way
oh what fun it is to ride

Discussion in 'Chevy Traverse Forum (GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave)' started by dcreighton54, Nov 10, 2010.
I was hoping that someone may know of a fog light kit for my 2011 chevy traverse?
What's a traverse?
It's one of those new compact suvs chevy makes. Quite nice.
Anyways, you looking for an oem fog light install or an aftermarket kit??
you should be able to find prices / specs with the GM Parts links on this site. I think it takes you directly to GMParts specifically.----give er' a whirl---probably on the side bar on the home forum page.
Did you ever find anything?
I wanted to update this and show people that even two years ago people didn't know what a Traverse was. Now they're selling 100k+ of these things every year. The Traverse replaced the Trailblazer and the Uplander ... and it's awesome!
Fog lights for 2011 Traverse
I have not found a fog light kit for the Traverse yet, any ideas, either OEM or After market, but clean install.
I'm not sure, but I think there is not even an option for these on the Chevy Traverse ... only on the Buick Enclave and the GMC Acadia. I'll keep looking, it might be on the LTZ trim level.
I did find a part for the LTZ Fog Lamp relay, but no lamp itself. That's interesting. http://www.gmpartsclub.com/oem-part...6l-v6-gas/electrical/fog-lamps/relay/19116059

Reviews of this property
We had a lovely stay at Madame Jeanette! the beach is in 5 minutes walking distance, as are grocerystores and Zandvoort city (restaurants).
the apartment is as shown in the pictures, small but has everything you need. There are a lot of neighbors, but there are fences that give you relatively good privacy.
Very nice, very clean, close to train station, sea and "city". We didn't meet anyone but found and left the key at the same place. Very nice appartment.
Only two small disadvantages: No window in the living area that can be opened, for example during the night. Internet didn't work till last evening.
We had a perfect time in Zandvoort. Roos is a really kind person and the house is amazing. It is really clean and beautiful and you can find there everything you need for some wonderful days.
Also Zandvoort is a wonderful place. It has a beautiful beach, nice little shops, bars and restaurants.
We can't wait to come to Zandvoort again and spend some days in this wonderful house.
Had very nice days in Zandvoot. The accommodation was very clean. Was a bit unusual, it was not a sink available.
Unfortunately at our time a construction site on the property, so it was a bit noisy. Unusually for us was the location of the object. The bungalow stands on a Hinterhof.Für the Location of the property, the price is a bit overpriced per night.
Hatten sehr schöne Tage in Zandvoot. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber. Etwas ungewöhnlich war, das kein Waschbecken vorhanden war.
Leider war zu unserem Zeitpunkt eine Baustelle auf dem Anwesen, sodass es doch etwas lauter war. Ungewöhnlich war für uns auch die Lage des Objektes. Der Bungalow steht auf einem Hinterhof.Für die Lage des Objektes ist der Preis etwas überteuert pro Nacht.
Beautiful house, clean, everything you need. Really romantic, nice furnitures and all in a nice warm white. 5 Mintutes to the city center and the beach by foot. 25 Minutes to Amsterdam (by car). 25 Minutes to amazing tulip place (Keukenhof).
If you wanna go to Holland, go and stay in this wonderful house! :)
Although we had only a short stay, but it was a very pleasant and enjoyable time. The beach is less than 5 min. walk away, there are plenty of "Beach Bar" and good rail connections. In half an hour you are in Amsterdam. Who will definitely come back !! Thanks for everything ...
Wir hatten zwar nur einen kurzen Aufenthalt, dafür war es eine sehr angenehme und schöne Zeit. Der Strand ist keine 5 min. zu Fuß entfernt, es gibt viele "Beachbars" und gute Bahnanbindungen. In einer halben Stunde ist man im Amsterdam. Wer werden auf jeden fall wieder kommen !! Dank für Alles...
Roos is a very nice and caring woman, she welcomed us warm. The house was really great. It was perfectly clean, comfortable and just beautiful. Everything you need is included. The beach is near just as the city centre. We would love to come again, we enjoyed our stay so much, thank you.

I am the queen of picky base product users. I have: dry skin, redness and highly sensitive areas. And that's aside from my dislike of anything looking too caked on or make-up-y. And I have to say, I was pretty impressed. It offers way more coverage than I really feel comfortable wearing day to day, not quite cakey but you can definitely tell it's make-up. It covered my redness completely and didn't irritate it, as SPF products tend to. The only thing is, I already own a base product I absolutely love. But this does offer significantly more coverage, so I may pick this up in the future just to have a full coverage option, for special occassions and whatnot.
Also, this product runs dark. I received Light/Medium, which usually suits me fine in other brands, and it oxidized way too dark for my skin (looked almost like I'd put bronzer everywhere) so I'd keep that in mind and go down a shade.
First received this as a sample in my birchbox, and have purchased it consistently ever since. It doesn't irritate my acne-prone complexion, the color blends perfectly and doesn't look yellowy or fake, and is thick enough to cover post-blemish scarring. I try every cc cream birchbox sends in monthly boxes and this one is still the best. It doesn't get better than this product.5
This was an awesome CC Cream that is affordable. It provides the perfect amount of coverage for me on most days. I only step it up and use this as a primer when I'm doing a really special makeup day. And the best part? This lasts all day and my oily skin is less oily using this. I actually feel like it improves my skin. Color is good and spot on. Never looks obvious.5
I received this as a sample and am in love with it. I use it as a primer under my powder foundation. I love how it has spf so I don't need to apply any sunscreen ontop of my primer. I love that I can also us it as a foundation to just run out the house real quick and have a nice light coverage on my face. Feels very light almost like I'm not wearing anything on my face! It blends well, it's just an all together great product. Will purchase again!!5

Two men will appear in court this morning charged over the fatal stabbing of a Levin man last Friday.
A 31-year-old Levin man charged with the murder of Michael Valentine and a 29-year-old charged with his assault will appear in Palmerston North District Court.
A 22-year-old charged with assault will appear in Levin District Court on Thursday.
Police have issued a warning about what they say is incorrect information being posted on social media, including the types of injuries Mr Valentine received and who may have inflicted them.
Detective Senior Sergeant Marc Hercock said the incorrect speculation was slowing down the investigation.
"We are only 48 hours into this investigation and there are still a number of lines of inquiry to follow, not to mention collation of evidence," he said yesterday.
"I want to make it clear that at no stage have police said that the three men arrested were friends of Mr Valentine's."
He said a preliminary post-mortem examination indicated Mr Valentine was killed by a single stab wound to the chest caused by a knife.
"The comments on social media are not consistent with what we know," Mr Hercock said.
"As I have reiterated previously this is still an active investigation and because matters are before the courts we cannot comment any further on what specifically happened without potentially jeopardising the work done so far.
"The 15 staff deployed on this investigation are working incredibly hard to respond to any information we receive.
"When information can't be validated such as some of the claims on social media, these impede the progress we are making."
Anyone with information about Mr Valentine's death should call Levin Police on 06 366 0500 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

New Student Residents Make Plans for Their New Home in the Residences on 7th
As the finishing touches are being made on Southwestern's beautiful new on-campus student residences, future residents are taking tours and choosing their units. Now that the scaffolding has been removed, the distinctive architecture of the complex is evident. Built-ins and custom furnishings are being installed, and vibrant contemporary design elements are adding character to the community spaces.
Lauren Falk, who will be a new 1L at Southwestern this fall, recently visited The Residences and chose her one bedroom apartment. She is looking forward to having a new place of her own right on campus. "I am so excited to move into a brand new state-of-the-art apartment complex that is not only safe and secure, but extremely convenient for me," she said. "I know that living on campus will enhance my law school experience and enable me to involve myself in every aspect of Southwestern."
Lauren's mother, Melissa Siefer '79, was also impressed with the accommodations and excited for her daughter, who is following in her footsteps at Southwestern.
"My recent visit to the school with Lauren was my first in many years and I was extremely impressed by the vast range of improvements, from the expansion of buildings and space, to the level of technology, to the real campus feel and, ultimately, to the student residences," Siefer said. "I think The Residences were the icing on the cake for us because we felt so comfortable about Lauren's living situation. Few law schools offer this enticing option. As I stood there in front of the construction site reflecting upon the fact that my own experience with the school was positive despite much more limited surroundings, I thought about just how much better it will be for Lauren. For the first time, I found myself wishing I were back in law school!"
Students are now leasing apartments at The Residences for the Fall. To arrange a tour and reserve your unit, contact the property manager at email@example.com or (213) 738-5500. To submit a leasing application online, visit www.swlaw.edu/studenthousing.

From President Scott R. Pilarz, S.J.
If you are inclined to think of summer as Marquette's "offseason," think again.
Marquette is offering 340 for-credit summer courses. We expect to enroll about 3,600 students in them, nearly a third of our spring or fall enrollment. Independent study and thesis and dissertation courses drive Marquette's summer population even higher.
Across campus, many research labs continue working at full tilt, reflecting a commonly held view among faculty members that this is a time to bear down on research and scholarship. The research activity keeps many additional students engaged, including those participating in the highly competitive summer research programs offered in biological sciences and mathematics, computer science and statistics with support from the National Science Foundation. Read the story "Summer research" in this issue to learn about the scientific problems that students are working to address before fall classes resume.
Summer is also a time to branch out, both geographically and demographically. There are faculty-led study trips to locales such as China, Estonia and Peru. And each year at this time, we welcome hundreds of pre-college students for experiences that challenge their minds and enlarge their imaginations everything from the Engineering Academies to Upward Bound and the Summer Debate Institute.
Marquette's tradition of productive, intellectually stimulating summers is a valuable one, a resource this university community is drawing on in new ways this year. That's because, in May, the Board of Trustees voted to endorse Marquette's new strategic plan, the creation of which has been tracked in previous issues of this magazine. In Beyond Boundaries: Setting the Course for Marquette's Future, Marquette has a map to guide us through today's challenges to the valuable opportunities within our grasp in the next five to seven years. See the plan at marquette.edu/strategicplan, and read what some members of the Strategic Planning Coordinating Committee would like to highlight in the plan in the "We Are Marquette" news section of this issue.
Beyond Boundaries sets very high aspirations for this university. To realize them, we need a sense of urgency. We can't afford to take the summer off. If any of us has dreams of hanging a "gone fishing" sign on our office doors for the rest of the summer or using one of those automatic-reply messages that says we are "away indefinitely and inaccessible by phone or Internet" we should realize we'd miss a lot.
At the same time, every summer should have its share of quiet evenings on a screened porch or long weekends near a favorite body of water in other words, prime opportunities to catch up on some reading. In that spirit, I will share a couple summer reading recommendations for you, as I've been known to do since I started my academic career teaching English.
If you appreciate riveting nonfiction, I highly recommend The Hare with Amber Eyes by noted British ceramic artist Edmund de Waal. Decades after his wealthy, art-collecting Jewish family had nearly all of their possessions stripped from them by Nazi occupiers, he goes in search of their truths and traditions and finds them passed down through the tiniest of art objects.
My other recommendation is A Thousand Mornings, the new collection by Mary Oliver. The renowned poet treated a Marquette audience to a preview of the book in November during the reading she gave while here to receive an honorary degree. With their rare gift for capturing the rhythms and wonders of the natural world, the poems of this friend of Marquette are exceptional summer companions.
Scott R. Pilarz, S.J.

Nine-time gold medalist Carl Lewis has teamed up with Hershey's for the 34th annual Hershey's Track and Field Games. The goal of the Games, which take place in 4,000 communities throughout North America, is to promote physical fitness and sportsmanship in kids ages 9 to 14.
Why is a chocolate company encouraging kids to get fit? "Everyone should get involved in helping kids to get active," Lewis says. "We should all be responsible. It's great that Hershey's stepped up to the challenge."
Lewis recently got the word out about the Games at a preview event at Chelsea Piers, in New York City. He showed kids how to stretch and then demonstrated a broad jump. Next, the kids practiced throwing softballs and ran in a relay race.
Get in the Game!
At the Games, which take place from April to August, kids compete in softball throws, long jumps, sprints and relay races. In the end, 450 winners will be chosen to take an all-expense paid trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania, for the Track and Field finals. The sweetest part? Winners get a tour of the Hershey's chocolate factory and a medal awarded by Lewis himself.
So far, more than 10 million kids have participated in Hershey's Track and Field Games. You can sign up too. Find out if there are events in your community at hersheytrackandfield.com. Registration is free.
"Anyone can participate," Lewis told TFK. "It's good for you, good for your health, good for your self-esteem and it's a lot of fun."

For the past quarter-century or so, the U.S. Navy has been training beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas), along with dolphins and sea lions, to carry out various military exercises. These animals' innate abilities to swim long distances without fatiguing, to dive to great depths and to navigate even the most turbid waters make them ideal agents for such tasks as locating mines, retrieving lost equipment and protecting moored ships from hostile divers. Now it seems that the use of such marine creatures is expanding from the realm of naval warfare to that of science: Recently oceanographers enlisted wild belugas to chart the physical properties of the icy waters of a freezing Arctic fjord in Svalbard, an inhospitable place for conventional oceanographic surveys.
The new beluga-based oceanographic study was published in the December 1, 2002, issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Scientists from Scotland and Norway outfitted two beluga whales with miniature instruments able to measure and record the electrical conductivity of seawater along with the prevailing temperature and the pressure. (Conductivity is useful because it indicates salinity, and pressure is proportional to depth.) The electronic payload also included a radio transmitter, which allowed the data collected during a dive to be sent to a satellite overhead after the animal surfaced.
Although two whales were outfitted in this way, one of the instruments malfunctioned before the water started freezing, so the published study depended on just one beluga's roaming. Yet even with only the one whale working for them, in just 17 days, the scientists were able to gather measurements from 540 positions, spread over an area of roughly 8,000 square kilometers. This feat is especially impressive given that these waters were largely covered with ice.
The survey provided some much-needed information about the state of the water in this fjord as it freezes over. Previous studies of ice formation there had assumed that at this time of the year (mid-November) the fjord is filled with near-freezing water from the Arctic Ocean. The new beluga data, however, showed that there is a considerable influx of comparatively balmy water from the North Atlantic. This finding perhaps reflects recent global warming. So having the means to collect such information about the warming of far northern waters in coming years should be of considerable value to scientists trying to evaluate changes in the climate.
This is not the first time a marine animal has gathered useful oceanographic data. For example, in 2001, George W. Boehlert of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and six colleagues published a study that presented oceanographic data collected from the North Pacific using instrumented elephant seals. The recently published beluga work does, however, represent the first time such a program has been mounted with the express intent to study some aspect of physical oceanography rather than to discern the behavior of the instrumented animal as its prime objective.
"It's a fantastic piece of work," says Barbara A. Block of Stanford University. She is in a good position to judge, having spent much of her career outfitting tuna with electronic sensors. "This group is taking us beyond where anyone has been," she says, noting that this is the first time anyone has instrumented a marine animal with a device as complex as a conductivity-temperature-depth sensor package.
Christian Lydersen of the Norwegian Polar Institute was lead author of the beluga study. He explains the logistics of pressing a beluga whale into oceanographic service. According to him, it's not that difficult: One needs only to erect some nets near shore and then to steer whales into them. "These are pretty easy to herd," he says. The instruments are then attached using nylon bolts, which screw into a corklike layer of skin on the whale's back. "It sounds pretty bad," Lydersen admits, but he points out that this thick, leathery skin on the animal's dorsal ridge stands up to it and that the units normally fall off on their own in just two to three months.
As the newly collected records show, beluga whales can remain submerged for 20 minutes at a stretch. And they routinely dive to depths that are deeper than the deepest parts of the Barents Sea, so they provided full coverage for the fjord examined. These whales are thus well suited to the task of probing such chilly corners of the ocean. The economics of this approach to oceanography is also attractive, given that it takes perhaps one day for a team of scientists to outfit a whale with instruments, whereas it would take them many days to collect an equivalent amount of oceanographic data from an ice-breaking research vessel, which might lease for $10,000 or more a day. The biggest advantage, though, is that the whales are there all year long, whereas oceanographic research vessels typically visit these waters only in the summer and autumn. As Lyderson says, "In the ice, in winter—there's nobody doing any oceanography." Or, as his thick-skinned helpers might say: nobody but us whales.—David Schneider

I agree Mike Palmer doesn't sell inferior queens. I wasn't suggesting that he did and I am sorry if it sounded that way. I also would not write it off as "late splits" given your location. Here in the Northeast we have to stop rearing queens long before it is too late for somebody as far south as you to make splits.
Mike's bees may just not be well adapted for life in South Carolina. They probably stopped laying too soon and started again too late, because that is what they have been bred to do. They likely don't know what to do with a SHB as they are not really an issue in Northern VT/NY like they are in the south.
l split in october and november
Well, boo-hoo. The fact is that late-season, small afterswarms (baseball size and smaller) have little chance of making it except in optimal conditions. You gave it a good shot, and I would like to have seen the setup. Feeding, artificial springtime conditions (heated room and insulation) and excellent dead-air volume control might have bucked the long odds, but it is not easy to beat them when mother nature throws you a late cold spell.
Good try, and keep on plugging away at it. The real beekeepers learn from their losses and keep building boxes and frames, hiving swarms, getting stung, raising queens, cutting honeycomb, etc. The phonies cry in their milk and quit.
Now make up some insulated outer covers, insulated inner covers with fondant boards inside, some double-screen boards, some hive dummies, some foam hive wraps for next season - you may have a success next time off what you learned this time. Another trick is to put a pet reptile "hot rock" under a hive floor and turn it on on the cold nights. We're from the warm states, but it pays to know cold-country beekeeping anyways.
Late Sept/Early October is the latest that I'd make a split. I'm usually thinking about feeding them up to make it through the winter at that point, not splitting.
I had 3-4 late season splits that didn't make it, but another 5 that did. Better genetics or did the bees just fly the right direction for the late food. *shrugs*
I had a few that made it through the winter, only to starve in the spring. IMO, it is much sadder to sweep out 8lbs of dead bees than 60.
Keep chugging, more bees/honey to be made.
They lay opposite each other to maximize heat exchange since bees will be clustered opposite each other.

It's great to see all of the different ways you can take one of these trucks to make it meet your needs. Nice work!
Aint that the truth? Ain't nothing more versatile than an old chevy truck. Where if it's your grocery getter, family truck, work truck, or just a plain old mud toy, older chevys have always been it for me, usually all the same truck to.

I would like to try this... and could anyone provide me with more information about this top entrance method?
Thanks! Beesilly.
Yes, I use some 10-frame bottom boards as covers for 8-frame hives, I slide back the open end to create top entrances. Like telescoping covers with one end open so I can slide it back to create a top entrance. They work nice for that purpose. I also used some as covers for 10-frame hives, putting the bottom on top, as it were.
48 years - 50 hives - TF
Joseph Clemens -- Website Under Constructioni
Any new covers I make from a sheet of 3/4" exterior grade plywood (not pressure treated.) I get 10 covers for the price of one sheet of plywood which equates to about three bucks a cover, unless I get a used free sheet of plywood!
The top entrances are easy to make using the plywood covers.
Does it throw the bees off having to find the entrance every time you add or remove supers or hive bodys for that matter? If you add 2 supers than that moves your entrance up over a foot higher. Then if you have 2 or 4 supers on and you go to extract then you just moved it down 1 to 2 feet. I guess my question is do the bees mind re finding the entrance?

Mine don't seem to have any trouble. They do get confused when you're working the hive and the air fills with bees, but then they figure it out as soon as I close up.

I used a bottom board for a top cover this year as I was short a telescoping cover. Worked so well I haven't changed it yet. Might not.
Telescoping covers top and bottom are great for transporting hives though...
Milton Township, Michigan (near South Bend, Indiana)
I am not a big fan of top entrances, mostly because bees rarely use them, unless you use the method that requires that the bottom entrance be blocked off or reduced. They perhaps are more valuable for providing summer ventilation and fly ports for winter cleansing flights in deep snow areas.
A word of caution, if you do decide to experiment with this top ventilation with a bottom entrance, be sure to check back a few times to see that bees are lined up right inside the opening, guarding the entrance. If bees are not lined up guarding, the colony is not strong enough to guard 2 entrances and you must either remove or reduce one of the openings. Colonies that are incapable of guarding an added top entrance will be the first to succumb to a robbing event, having provided easy access for robbers wanting to avoid the more heavily guarded front entrance.

I thought about a rifled barreld pistol and rifle that used 410 cases with a protruding bullet. I started a thread on it a year or so ago. its doable but a 410 rifled pistol shooting shot would be next to worthless except in a very close quarters situation. IMOO. it would likely not be very accurate in 454 lc or Casull with all the free bore and chamber issues to make it accept the 410 shell. a 444 marlin pistol would be better and you could load shot into those cases if you had the desire to have a SG round. 444 marlin is almost 2.5 long so you could nrarly equal a 2.5" 410 round.
Im still trying to get time and money to finish the 444????? project.
Im planing on a 3" chamber 410 barrel on my switch barrel build it would be pretty easy once the bugs are worked out to make a identical barrel except rifled and run .44 or 45 bullets protruding from a brass case like a normal rifle round. check out the 12 guage SGFH in the general discussion. it would be like that but a mini SGFH. it would be pretty damm close to a 45-70 also in power as well. a rimless wild cat would be doable and then factory bolts opend up slightly would work. a rimless 410 shell can be made from 30-06 or simular brass BTW.
there is a poor mans big bore there some were and it would have the case capacity to blow the doors of the the 450 bushmaster, 458 SOCOm and likely the 50 beowulf.
I have been looking at 284 win brass as well as 7mm mag brass for a possable 450 wild cat Shotgun round as well it would fall between a 410 an a 28 guage. wads would be a issue possably the 458x2" is doable as well. the lug spacing gets pretty tight on the magnum brass and it wont clear. it would be doable on 308 Sagia however. Im not sure if .284 brass will clear the lugs but it might.
Its all doable with money and time.

Three Montanans nominated for 2015 U.S. Freestyle Ski Team
Park City, UT
The U.S. Ski team announced its nominations for the 2015 U.S. Freestyle team on Tuesday and three Montanans made the list.
There were three class nominations, A, B and C, with the 'A' class being the top skiers. Butte's Bradley Wilson and Bozeman's Heather McPhie were both nominated for the class 'A' team.
McPhie finished 13th overall in the women's moguls at the 2014 Olympics, her 2nd Olympic games.
Bradley Wilson competed in his first Olympic games this year, finishing 20th overall in the men's moguls after falling in the first finals round.
Bradley's older brother, Bryon, was nominated for the class 'B' mogul team. Wilson did not make the roster for the 2014 Olympic games, but won a bronze medal at the 2010 games in Vancouver.
36 athletes in total make up the 2015 Freestyle roster, which includes mogul and aerial competitors. Colorado had the most athletes nominated to the three mogul teams with five, but Montana had the most athletes of any state on the class 'A' mogul team with two.

Three students charged in Daniel Boone bomb threat
GRAY, Tenn. - Three students now face charges in a bomb threat at Daniel Boone High School.
We checked with Washington County Sheriff Ed Graybeal, who tells us deputies arrested two freshman and a sophomore Wednesday. All three are charged with filing a false report.
School leaders sent students home early on Monday after finding a note in the bathroom.
"There may be more arrests. The investigation is not really completed," said Greg Matherly with the sheriff's office.
The sheriff says one student had a map of the school with suspicious markings and an escape route. Authorities did not find a bomb.
The juvenile suspects have a detention hearing scheduled for Thursday morning in Jonesborough.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office released the following information about the arrests on Wednesday afternoon:
"Three Daniel Boone High School students have been arrested and charged with Filing a False Report after a bomb threat forced the evacuation and early dismissal of the school on Monday, November 18, 2013.
According to Sheriff Ed Graybeal, three juveniles, two freshmen and a sophomore, have been charged with Filing a False Report after a message was discovered written in a bathroom at Daniel Boone High School regarding a possible bomb in the building. One of the Juveniles involved had in his possession a map of the school with suspicious markings and an escape route. The school was evacuated and searched utilizing numerous members of the Sheriff's Office School Resource Unit, Patrol Division, and Criminal Investigation Division. A K-9 Unit specially trained in locating explosives was brought in from the Bristol TN Police Department to assist. Emergency medical services and fire units were also on scene as a precaution.
The juveniles are currently being housed in the Washington County/Johnson City Regional Juvenile Detention Center and will appear in Washington County Juvenile Court in Jonesborough on November 21, 2013 at 9 a.m. for a detention hearing."

Model of a late 16th century cuirassier armour (II.394)
Model of a late 16th century cuirassier armour (II.394)
The Horse Armoury, by an unknown artist, early 19th century
The model armour II.394 from a detail of a drawing, 'Line of Kings in the Horse Armoury'. British, early 19th century (I.277)
Object number: II.394
|Object Provenance:
|European, late 16th century
|Object Number:
|60 cm (23.6 in)
Painted wooden figure dressed in armour and carrying a long spear. The figure's wooden head, hands, torso and legs are held in position by being nailed into the armour and it is painted overall. The steel armour comprises tassets, cuirass (breast and backplate) and a gorget, and shows attention to detail with its roped edges, separate arm gussets and the fact that the tassets are made from individual lames. It is also fitted with a small codpiece. However where the figure is hidden by the armour, its finish is cruder and unpainted.
The wooden elements of the figure are completely separate apart from the legs which are attached to the torso by dowels. The legs end in disproportionately large knee-boots. The head and helmet are carved from a single piece of wood, with detailed ears, facial hair and wavy hair. There is a lead weight attached to the base of the neck, appearing to act as a counterbalance, but is too small to perform this function.
A label is attached to the back of the neck reads 'B-d Exeter. Restored 1867'. So far it has proved impossible to uncover anything more about this restoration.
The figure was cleaned and restored and a report produced on it by Alison Guppy, then of Royal Armouries conservation department, prior to its redisplay in 1998 on the East side of the White Tower Entrance Floor displays.
Little is known of the original function of this figure. It has been suggested that it might have been an animatronic jack for a clock, and miniature suits of armour were produced as children's toys – see Clifford and Watts 'An Introduction to Princely Armours and Weapons of Childhood', Royal Armouries, 2003, pp.42 -43. Although not drawn to the visitor's attention in the early guidebooks, it is clearly visible on a pillar behind the main line in both a watercolour wash of the Horse Armoury and Rowlandson and Pugin's view dated 1809. So far it has not been identified in any of the images of the New Horse Armoury displays (1827 – 1882) or individually mentioned in the guidebooks.

Superb Sounding Voices – and Tons of Them!
MOTIF was developed to be the best sounding synth on the market – period. Its astounding 85MB wave ROM (when converted to 16-bit linear format) contains many of the best waveforms from Yamaha's highly acclaimed S80, 9000 Pro and EX Series synthesizers. Plus there's a wealth of new and improved waves, including many of the drums from the RS7000 Music Production Studio, to give you the most complete range of sounds ever available in one keyboard.
From incredibly realistic stereo acoustic instruments like pianos, drums, strings and brass to never-before-heard dance sounds and lush ambient textures, the breadth of MOTIF's sonic palette is absolutely stunning. There's even a convenient General MIDI set for playing back Standard MIDI Files. And with room for up to 3 Modular Synthesis Plug-in System expansion boards and advanced integration capabilities (all the voices for the PLG boards are already stored in MOTIF's OS), MOTIF can expand as your needs grow.
Category Search Function
MOTIF features an improved Category Search function, giving you quick access to the sounds you want. Simply select a voice category, such as pianos or strings, and you'll be able to browse through all the related voices one by one. A new Favorites category has been added, into which you can store the voices you use most.
THE HEART OF MOTIF: The Integrated Sampling Sequencer
At the heart of MOTIF is its Integrated Sampling Sequencer, which seamlessly combines the audio and MIDI recording processes, giving you unprecedented freedom for creating music. The sequencer component of this system features both linear and pattern recording methods, including a standard Song Mode for recording MIDI and audio data in linear fashion from beginning to end (the way analog tape machines worked). With a 111,000 MIDI note capacity and a maximum total sampling memory of 6 minutes and 20 seconds in stereo at 44.1kHz (with two 32MB SIMMs installed), MOTIF can easily handle this linear production approach, which is popular with more traditional kinds of music.
In this age of digital production, however, cutting and pasting different sections of music and audio (motifs) together is an integral part of the music making process. MOTIF has 4 unique features that simplify this process to expand your creativity like never before.
Pattern Mode
This mode lets you easily create the sections of your song (Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Breaks, etc.) as individual elements without having to decide on a final arrangement.
Integrated Sampling Sequencer
MOTIF has two distinct ways of recording audio phrases: Sample with Note and Slice with Sequence. Sample with Note is ideal if you simply want to add audio phrases to your song. In this mode, you can record vocal and guitar phrases directly into your sequence while listening to playback of any MIDI tracks you've already created. After recording the audio, the Integrated Sampling Sequencer will automatically create a sample voice, map it to the keyboard and put a MIDI note in the pattern at the appropriate time. If you would like to play the same audio phrase later in the song, you can simply trigger it with a MIDI note instead of having to sample it again and use up valuable sample RAM. When you make your final arrangement, your phrases will play back in perfect time.
Slice with Sequence takes the Integrated Sampling Sequencer concept even further. In this case, when you record audio phrases, MOTIF will analyze the recorded audio, slice it into pieces (based on amplitude peaks and divisions of the beat) and then generate an extremely accurate MIDI sequence to perfectly re-trigger each of the pieces. This is the key to MOTIF's seamless integration of audio and MIDI. Once this process has completed, you can change the tempo of your sequence without changing the pitch of the recorded audio, or use grids to change the clock, gate and velocity values of notes within a sampled drum loop, for example. Simply put, you have all the flexibility of MIDI with the accuracy and realism of audio.
Real-time Pattern Chain Record
Once you've recorded all your MIDI and audio parts, the fun really begins. You can arrange your song in real-time using MOTIF's Section, Mute and Song Scene buttons to instantly hear the different possibilities. Even better, you can record these performances as Pattern Chains and then edit them with detailed event editing or convert them to linear song formats like SMF. If you've ever used a groove-oriented box such as the RM1x, you know how this hands-on approach to song creation and remixing can inspire new ideas.
Large Sampling Capacity, Wide Compatibility
MOTIF comes standard with 4MB of sampling memory and can be increased up to 64MB using affordable PC SIMMs for a maximum total sampling time of 6 minutes and 20 seconds (stereo, 44.1kHz). In addition to the Integrated Sampling Sequence functions, you can also import samples in AIFF and WAVE format. There are also comprehensive import functions for Akai S1000/S3000 and Yamaha A3000/A4000/A5000 samplers, including the ability to read sample maps and voice parameters. This instantly expands the sound library for MOTIF to hundreds of commercially available sample CD-ROMs.
Extensive Real-time Control
MOTIF sports four physical sliders and four physical knobs on its front panel, which work as 16 virtual knobs and 16 virtual sliders when used with the keyboard's expanded real-time control functions. In any mode, you can readily edit the Reverb, Chorus, Pan, Cutoff, Resonance, Attack, Release and EQ as well as 4 user-assignable parameters. In Mix mode, these sliders and knobs work in conjunction with the Track Select buttons to give you all the capabilities of a 16 channel digital mixer.
All this gives you total control over the keyboard's internal sound, but MOTIF takes it one step further with its its – real-time external control surface.
Real-time External Control Surface
For those who use popular software-based sequencers, MOTIF is a dream come true. By placing the unit in Remote Control mode, you'll be able to control your favorite sequencing software, including Logic Audio, Cubase VST, Pro Tools and Cakewalk, right from MOTIF. Mute your tracks, control the sequencer transport, mix both MIDI and audio tracks with the keyboard's knobs and sliders – all without ever picking up a mouse!
Interactive Arpeggiator
MOTIF's newly designed arpeggiator lets you add even more expression to your playing. On top of an extensive range of rhythmic sequences, it also features "human" patterns such as the strumming of a guitar or the trilling of a flute. Instead of trying to duplicate these performances with complicated algorithms, MOTIF creates them by using real MIDI data recorded by real musicians. There's even a velocity window, which opens up unprecedented possibilities; for example, while playing a lead guitar voice, you could trigger a sampled MIDI guitar phrase on the fly by hitting a key hard. And because the arpeggiator is integrated into MOTIF's system, you can easily include arpeggio performances into your sequences and even import new arpeggios from Standard MIDI files.
Modular Synthesis Plug-in System Slots x 3
Unlike conventional synthesizer expansion systems, Yamaha's Modular Synthesis Plug-in System lets you upgrade MOTIF with completely new synthesizer or sound processing "engines." Each expansion board is equipped with a full-fledged synthesizer or digital effects processor, so not only do you get more sounds and effects, but also more polyphony and additional multi parts – without taking any processing power away from the keyboard itself. A diverse range of synthesizer expansion boards is already available, including analog physical modeling, FM synthesis, vocal harmony processing and more. MOTIF is equipped with 3 expansion slots, allowing you to customize it with the exact combination of synthesis you need – whenever you need it! The plug-in voice data of every PLG Series expansion board is already stored in the keyboard's ROM, so you'll have a great selection of additional sounds the moment you install any new plug-in board.
Built-in USB MIDI Interface
MOTIF is ready to connect to your iMac™, G4 or newer G3 Macintosh® computer as well as any USB-equipped Windows® PC (Windows® 98 or later).
SmartMedia™ Card Slot
Easily store your samples on a SmartMedia™ Card Slot card and transfer them to your personal computer for editing. This storage method also makes it easy to save and load Standard MIDI Files.
SCSI Port
Connect an external ZIP®, MO, or hard drive to MOTIF for easy storage of large amounts of sample data. Its newly designed SCSI interface provides the fast loading times expected by professional musicians.
Connect to the Future of MIDI and Audio – mLAN
Yamaha's mLAN is the future of MIDI and audio interfacing, making it possible to link together all your digital audio and MIDI data through a single high-bandwidth cable. MOTIF is ready for both the present generation of mLan expansions and future mLan products, so you'll be able to stay current with future possibilities.
Multi-Out Expansion Board
As an alternative to the mLAN board, the AIEB2 expansion board is also available, which gives you 6 assignable analog audio outputs as well as both optical and S/P DIF digital outputs.

Comments about Yamaha motif6:
The Motif6/7/8 Classic was the beginning of a legend that still is a work in progress. From the stage to the studio the Motif Classic is still a viable, tangible resource at any level of performance.The sounds/voices of the Motif Classic are the standard by which all other Synthesizers/Workstations are judged. As in the world of musical instruments there does from time to time come along an instrument that transcends the Norm. and takes it's place as a classic, the Motif Classic is such an instrument.

Your not safe, not even in you're own home
Original post made by Sierra Rhodes, Pleasanton Valley, on Jul 18, 2013
I sincerely hope that the above title and sentence bothered you. This is not meant as an offense to the casual readers of my little, humorous ramblings. No, it is meant only as a prayer that you are paying attention, and that the English teachers of America are still teaching something in their classrooms.
So that nobody's sensibilities are injured:
You're not safe, not even in your own home.
Because we're watching you.
I have a reputation of being somewhat particular about the English language and its proper use. I have more than once been called the Grammar Police -- and frequently far less friendly terms -- because of my obsessive need to correctly form a sentence.
Someone recently came up with a brilliant idea -- one that I think our dear Congress should seriously consider turning into law.
Behold! This is the test that would allow or deny you access to the internet. I suspect that after requiring this test that approximately 200 people would be allowed on the glorious world wide web. The sad part about this is that I am not joking.
On the bright side, none of my favorite sites would be overloaded ever again. Look out Netflix, here I come!

Sierra, you are exactly right! I remember the first writing class I took in college. The topic of "writer's block" came up, and the instructor said there is no such thing. "A good thought, a clear idea, a complete thought will always find its way to paper. Dumb ideas and poor thoughts that don't deserve to be read, are usually the ones that don't make it to paper, and we're all better for it."
If you do not know the difference between your and you're, you're wasting my time, and I shouldn't have to work so hard to figure out your message.
Sierra, I'm sure you're plenty of fun at parties, where the lampshades probably stay on the lamps and not on your head. And I'm sure your family is proud of you simply in the knowledge that you were actually paying attention that day in the fourth grade when these things were covered...

Ohhhh, forgive me Sierra!
It must have been >my< misunderstanding that your were actually trying to be funny when you wrote "The sad part about this is that I am not joking."
Most call that SARCASM, not HUMOR.
YOU'RE the BEST!!

I better watch myself, I typed "your were" instead of "you were".
I guess I'll be accused of not knowing the difference between "your" and "you" and get a sarcastic remark from someone.
Time to hide from...SIERRA RHODES!

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez's Biggest Disses To One Another
Selena and Justin have had quite a tumultuous fall. Their troubled relationship has seen the two pop stars throwing shade at each other, and we've gathered their biggest disses to each other here!
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber's relationship has been topsy-turvy as of late. After an announced split in mid-November, the two have made attempts at a reconciliation, but they've also spent a good amount of time dissing each other, as well! From Justin flirting with Victoria's Secret models to Selena locking Justin out of her home, these two are the very definition of "on the rocks."

Monday's Dali Wrangle: Some Dali script bits ARE available, let's find 'em

Today's news about Dali script snippets in print is another potential route to our ultimate goal – unearthing Giraffes on Horseback Salad.

text: I could really use input as to what the problem could be regarding my '02 Flex Fuel Suburban. Over the last year I have been having issues with it shutting off on me while driving. I wait about 20 seconds and it will start right back up. It acts as though the fuel supply is being cut off. I have had the fuel filter changed twice in the last year and it has helped. However it started doing the same thing earlier this week, my commute home is about 70 miles and it shut off about 10-12 times and each time with each time it took even longer before it would start. I had the fuel filter changed Wednesday but 2 days later and its doing the same thing. I was told that I have 2 fuel filters....true or false. If true where are they both located? Would a bad Catalytic Converter cause it to act this way? Any insight would be much appreciated.


text: Environmental conditions are important to consider when designing an exercise program. In this blog, we take a closer look at the implications of exercising in the cold, and how to design programs that are safe for your clients—even on winter's coldest days. Exercising in the cold can lead to multiple conditions, including hypothermia, frostbite or a generalized vasoconstriction effect, which can be dangerous for individuals with hypertension and/or heart disease. Chilling can occur quickly when the body is wet from sweat, and heat loss is also accelerated in windy conditions, so there is much to consider when making exercise recommendations for your clients during the cold winter months. You should be familiar with the windchill factor chart and understand that, as temperatures decrease and wind speeds increase, the greater the danger for negative health consequences. Here are some important tips to share with your clients: Wear several layers of clothing, so that garments may be removed or replaced as needed. Remove outer layer as intensity increases and then replace these layers during rest or cool-down periods. Allow for adequate ventilation of sweat as wet clothing will continue to drain the body of heat. If there is any meaningful wind, it is better to begin your session going into the wind and to finish with the wind at your back. Select garment materials that allow the body to give off heat during exercise and retain body heat during rest. Wool is an excellent choice for exercising in the cold as it maintains body heat even when wet; cotton, however, is a poor choice as it absorbs sweat. New synthetic materials are also a good choice as they help to wick moisture away from the body. Nylon is a good choice for outerwear when windchill is a factor, but synthetic materials like Gore-Tex are probably the best choice because they block wind and are waterproof, which allows moisture to move away from the body. Replace body fluids in the cold. Monitor body weight over several days because sweat loss may not be as evident in the cold. For more information about exercising in the cold, please refer to Chapter 2 of ACE's Essentials of Exercise Science for Fitness Professionals.

Hi Guys, Sure good to hear from you again. Graphic description of dengue fever Dalton.Sounds like you are due for a life saving medal too!Love your pictures, commentary and your improving Spanish story and the hiking story.Love to everyone,Abuela
Jalapa - visiting Walter's family
Loading Map
We went to Jalapa before Daddy got Dengue. He had it, but it had not kicked in. We went to Jalapa because our friend Walter Garcia wanted to show us Jalapa. It's where his family live and we stayed with them. There was a boy who stayed off school to go on a hike with us, and before we went on a hike just by ourselves to the hill with the cross on top. The cross was made of wood. Jalapa is near the border of Honduras and is higher up in the mountains. When we went on the big hike, we walked by a river which had rapids and more rapids and just a little way down the stream, there was a bridge and water was going over the bridge and pouring out the other side through pipes
We met a person before we went to Jalapa called Kelli. We have been working with her and some ladies to make some paper frames for some art work which Walter has made. I played with one of her daughters in my room and outside.
I made a game of bowling using all the water bottles after mommy and daddy's dengue. At first I played 10 pins, then I made a 15 pin game of bowling. I use a soccer ball to hit the pins. I hardly ever get a strike with 15 pins. I filled the bottom of the water bottles with some water to make them heavier.
We took some more spanish lessons. I had a new teacher which was just as good, maybe even better than my first one.
We haven't been doing much this month because of mommy and daddy's dengue. They rested a lot. But they feel awesome now.
We are going to Masaya and Granada next. We are leaving on Thursday for Granada to do some work in Masaya.
We don't have enough time to go to Guatemala on our passport, so we will stay our whole time on our visa in Nicaragua. We have to go back to Costa Rica to get more time on our passports. We want to go up to Guatemala in June. We can't go now to get 90 more days on our passport because several months ago Nicaragua signed an agreement to make things easier for tourists and the people who live here to travel to Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, but it means we don't get more days on our passport if we go to those countries, so have to go to a different country.
After Granada and Masaya we want to go to the beaches near San Jaun del Sur for a few days. We need to be back to our secret beach in Costa Rica by May 10th because we are going to stay there for a month.

This weekend's release of "Total Remake" put the subject of remakes on my mind. Unfortunately, unlike Doug Quaid, I can't go to Rekall and have my memory altered.
Because often times, remakes are stank wreckage washing up on the shores of the megaplex… sucking some dollars up out of audiences and then skulking back out to the sea of unoriginality. Occasionally remakes are good,for sure. Sometimes even great. But more often than not this past decade or so has brought soulless knockoff after soulless knockoff.
And it doesn't matter if the original was a classic or not. Beyond "Total Recall", Hollywood has given us "New" versions of "Arthur", "Planet of the Apes", "Fame", "Guess who's Coming to Dinner", "Psycho", "Straw Dogs","The Omen" and "The Pink Panther" just to name a few, with none of them holding a candle to the original.
I'm guessing that at some point there was some remake that bugged YOU, too. Which one was it? Which remake do YOU think is the worst? Does "The Day the Earth Stood Still" piss you off? Or maybe it's Rob Zombie's "Halloween"s. Does the "Stepford Wives" remake leave you feeling like you're the one without a soul? LOL.
Whichever one it is, let us hear it! Which Remake do YOU think is the worst?

The Wanted Push Lyrics
The group began working on their third studio album in November 2011, shortly after the release of their second album, Battleground, on November 4. The band confirmed that they had worked with a number of different producers and collaborators on the record, in order to make something that would appeal to both American and British audiences. The band revealed in January 2012 that rapper Example had written a track for them, entitled "Chasing the Sun". In April 2012, "Chasing the Sun" was released as the album's lead single, and the third single from the band's The Wanted EP in the United States. Around this time, the band also premiered a brand new track, "Satellite". In August 2012, the band filmed a music video in Los Angeles, reportedly for their brand new single, "I Found You". However, when the video for "I Found You" was released in October 2012, a different video was revealed. The band later revealed that the video filmed in Los Angeles would be for another single. "I Found You" was released on November 5, 2012 as the album's second single
The band confirmed in September 2012 that the album would contain a number of collaborations, including tracks with Pitbull, LMFAO, Chris Brown, Rita Ora and Dappy.

i have the joints on my brood box separating; just the one lower joint on one side so far. this time of year I don't usually want to disturb the bees much. any advice?
i was just thinking of filling it in with sealer, and hoping for the best until spring swarm management time. I had a couple boxes with the same effect and I just hammerd them back in with some glue; but there were no bees in them.

I was just filling my boardman feeders and talking about how they stimulate robbing, when my wife had a suggestion: plastic "to go" food containers with window screen mesh draped inside of them. I rubber banded the mesh in place. Of course I had to put them inside an empty box. I put the container right on the top bars.
Anyone ever tried this? I guess I'll see how it goes tomorrow.

First stop on the bus tour was the riverwalk and boat ride. Definitely a different atmosphere during the day. Night time was busy and daytime was slower pace and less people. Even for a Sunday.
After this we visited the buckhorn saloon and museum. So many animals. Kind of creepy. Especially the deformed animals with two heads and extra legs.
After this we had 2 hours to have lunch and self explore the Alamo before resuming the tour.
We ate lunch at a burger place which was really good
The Alamo was quite busy and hard to see everything.
Once we returned to the bus we headed to mission San Jose and mission Concepcion. Before visiting the marketplace.
Once we returned to the hotel we organised Chinese for dinner.
Tomorrow we head towards the Grand Canyon via a few night stops. First night tomorrow at Roswell.
