Comments about Burton Clash Snowboard 2013:
Great board; easy to carve and slash. I use it in the park and to hit the jumps. Very flexible. You have to get use to setting the bindings on the board and get the right fix.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great beginner/intermediate board
By Brett
from Gainesville, Va
About Me Advanced
This board is a great all mountain board. Very forgiving for beginners but also good for advanced riders. I've had it down several black diamonds and double blacks and it performs really well. The board is light and soft with a lot of flex...almost too much for me. Evo also had it listed cheaper than anyone else.
Amazing board! My bf loved it

I am a good snowboarder and this was the first board I had bought. It is a great board for beginners and intermediate riders that start out in parks and jumps. The board rides really smooth and great at carving.Hope you enjoy you're time with the board:)
Love it!
By TJ
from Chicago, IL
Was incredibly happy with the ride on this board.I took it with on a spring snowboarding trip to Park City Utah. It is my first snowboard after years of renting everywhere I went. That being the case I decided to go with a more affordable board. I was concerned based on the price, but I couldn't be happier with the purchase. The snow conditions weren't even that great due to the warmer weather, but the board rode great anyway. I am sure it will last me at least 5 years if not much more. Quality.
Awesome All Mountain Board
By AC
from Provo, UT
First season as a new snowboarder. Great beginners board. Top surface is very slick, so I bought a stomp patch.

college major questions
I am currently thinking about going to NOVA after community college any suggestions?
Here's where you can ask for and offer career advice. Use the sub-boards for posting resumes and viewing job listings.

86-year-old woman grabs gun in self-defense
BULLS GAP, Tenn. - UPDATE -- The woman turned herself in on February 6. Click here to read that story.
An 86-year-old woman grabbed a gun in self-defense when police say an intruder broke into her home. News 5 sat down with this woman today and listened to her tell about the experience.
Louise Howard lives just off a busy highway in Bulls Gap.
She told us she's been the victim of theft many times before, and she's had enough and it was time to take a stand. "I told different people if I ever catch them, I mean to kill them," said Louise Howard.
Louise Howard may be 86 years old, but she isn't afraid to defend her home or her life.
On Friday afternoon she was forced to do that. Howard said a young woman broke the glass on her door and forced her way inside. "I was in shock. I didn't know what she was going to do to me!" Howard said.
Howard immediately grabbed her gun, but the two started to struggle down the hall. "I already had my gun in my hand, and I wouldn't turn it loose for anything," she explained.
Howard's hands are proof she wasn't letting go. "She stuck a fingernail in there," said Howard. "She moved her hands, sort of released me a bit. I moved over like that, and I was going to shoot her in the stomach, but she took her knee and hit my elbow."
The bullet ended up inside the wall, where it remained after the struggle.
Sheriff Ronnie Lawson told us Howard was in her rights to use her gun for protection. "All indications [were] the intruder, the female, had a wrench. It was what she used to break the window of the door so she could've defended herself," Sheriff Lawson explained.
Howard said she is a repeat victim of crime. "I decided I would put all of my valuables in my pocketbook, and they would be with me wherever I went and nobody would get it," she said.
But she still came out with a loss. Investigators said the suspect took her purse that held two sets of keys, some rings, a bank card, and checkbook. Thankfully for her, nothing more valuable than that was taken.
"I was more scared for my cat than I was for me, because I guess I'd give my life to that cat, I love him so," said Howard.
The woman turned herself in on February 6. Click here to read that update.

The notion that the Gulf Stream is responsible for keeping Europe anomalously warm turns out to be a myth
Richard Seager
If you grow up in England, as I did, a few items of unquestioned
wisdom are passed down to you from the preceding generation. Along
with stories of a plucky island race with a glorious past and the
benefits of drinking unbelievable quantities of milky tea, you will
be told that England is blessed with its pleasant climate courtesy
of the Gulf Stream, that huge current of warm water that flows
northeast across the Atlantic from its source in the Gulf of Mexico.
That the Gulf Stream is responsible for Europe's mild winters is
widely known and accepted, but, as I will show, it is nothing more
than the earth-science equivalent of an urban legend.
This is not to say that there is no climatological mystery to be
explained. The countries of northern Europe do indeed have curiously
mild climates, a phenomenon I didn't really appreciate until I moved
from Liverpool to New York. I arrived in the Big Apple just before a
late-summer heat wave, at a time when the temperature soared to
around 35 degrees Celsius. I had never endured such blistering
temperatures. And just a few months later I was awestruck by the
sensation of my nostrils freezing when I went outside. Nothing like
that happens in England, where the average January is 15 to 20
degrees warmer than what prevails at the same latitude in eastern
North America. So what keeps my former home so balmy in the winter?
And why do so many people credit the Gulf Stream?
Like many other myths, this one rests on a strand of truth. The Gulf
Stream carries with it considerable heat when it flows out from the
Gulf of Mexico and then north along the East Coast before departing
U.S. waters at Cape Hatteras and heading northeast toward Europe.
All along the way, it warms the overlying atmosphere. In the seas
between Norway and Newfoundland, the current has lost so much of its
heat, and the water has become so salty (through evaporation), that
it is dense enough to sink. The return flow occurs at the bottom of
the North Atlantic, also along the eastern flank of North America.
This overturning is frequently referred to as the North Atlantic
thermohaline circulation, or simply the "Atlantic
conveyor." It is part of the global pattern of ocean
circulation, which is driven by winds and the exchange of heat and
water vapor at the sea surface.
The Gulf Stream indeed contributes to Europe's warmth, but it is
wrong to conflate the climate difference across the North Atlantic
with the northward flow of warm water in the Gulf Stream. This
erroneous logic leads to such statements as (from The
Times of London): "The British Isles lie on the same
latitude as Labrador on the East Coast of Canada, and are protected
from a similarly icy climate by the Atlantic conveyor belt."
Such claims are absolutely wrong.
The statements scientists make about Atlantic thermohaline
circulation typically read more like this one from my Columbia
University colleague, Wallace S. Broecker:
One of the major elements of today's ocean system is a
conveyor-like circulation that delivers an enormous amount of
tropical heat to the northern Atlantic. During winter, this heat is
released to the overlying eastward air masses, thereby greatly
ameliorating winter temperatures in northern Europe.
This assertion has the benefit of being both correct and misleading.
Because it does not specify what European climate is ameliorated
relative to (the climate of eastern North America?), it leaves
unchallenged the incorrect version expounded in the popular
media—thus contributing to the erroneous beliefs of millions.
The idea that the Gulf Stream is responsible for Europe's mild
winters seems to have originated with Matthew Fontaine Maury, an
American naval officer who in 1855 published The Physical
Geography of the Sea, which is often considered the first
textbook of physical oceanography. The book was a huge success, went
through many printings and was translated into three languages. The
role of the Gulf Stream in shaping climate is a recurring theme in
Maury's book. For example, he stated:
One of the benign offices of the Gulf Stream is to convey
heat from the Gulf of Mexico, where otherwise it would be excessive,
and to disperse it in regions beyond the Atlantic for the
amelioration of the climates of the British Isles and of all Western
According to Maury, if this transport of heat did not take place,
"… the soft climates of both France and England would be
as that of Labrador, severe in the extreme, and ice bound."
Despite the differences in language and style, the modern statements
clearly owe their provenance to this 1855 treatise.
Maury thought that God set the ocean up to work this way apparently
as part of His design to keep Europe warm (for unspecified reasons).
But holding such religious beliefs did not stop Maury from also
providing a scientific explanation for the Gulf Stream. His idea was
that it was the oceanic equivalent of what in the atmosphere is
known as a Hadley cell, a convection cell wherein warm air
flows upward and poleward, and cold material flows downward and
equatorward. In the ocean, heated surface waters take a
northeastward route, in Maury's view, because of the need to
conserve angular momentum as they move north and, hence, closer to
the axis of the Earth's rotation. Maury did not recognize that winds
drive ocean currents. And it was not until a century later that a
valid explanation of the Gulf Stream emerged: In the jargon of
oceanographers, it is a westward-intensified boundary current within
a subtropical gyre (a large circular current system) driven
by the trade winds, which blow from east to west in the tropics, and
mid-latitude westerlies, which move in the opposite direction.

2 baby dolphins found dead in northwest Florida
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 8:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 8:35 a.m.
OKALOOSA ISLAND, Fla. — Biologists are warning boaters in northwest Florida to avoid dolphins after two babies were struck and killed by a boat propeller just days apart.
The Northwest Florida Daily News reports the first dolphin washed up near Gulf Breeze last week after being hit by a boat. The second was found Monday west of Pensacola with numerous deep cuts.
Marine biologist Steve Shippee with the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge performed a necropsy on the second dolphin that was struck by a fast-moving boat.
Shippee says these two dolphins are the first propeller victims he's seen. He warns boaters against getting too close to dolphins or trying to pet or feed them.

For a while I've been wanting either a D-lineman or player in the Secondary in the 1st (as long as they were BPA), but now I'm REALLY hoping that Doug Martin (RB - Boise) will be available for us with the 32nd pick.
The more I read about him, the more impressed I am. Martin can run, catch, is not easy to bring down, loves pass-blocking, and apparently is the ultimate team guy and a leader:
Pretty much all of the mocks I've seen have him falling to the 2nd round, but I'm really hoping that we take this guy. I think that he will be BPA by the 32nd pick.
Plus, we already lost so much depth on offense with MM and Jacobs leaving, and Ballard and Beckum injured. I'm really hoping that we take Martin.

Panties which are smaller than the intended wearer's current size and intended to serve as motivation for her diet (course of action to reduce body weight, size, or fat) or to serve as a marker of when her diet has achieved its intended goal.
The aspiring ballerina purchased a pair of size double-zero lace panties with a 20-inch waist and said to herself, "I will not eat solid food until I fit into these dieting panties. And even then, I will diet to remain slim enough to fit in them." She eagerly anticipated the feeling of the delicate lace against her glabrous vulva, and her hunger temporarily subsided.

Photo of the Day: John Wayne Parr Injures Hand, Out of Sept. Fight
- Published in Kickboxing
The good news is that John Wayne Parr, who originally intended for 2011 to be his retirement year has decided that since he has been so competitive, there is no reason to really stop now. That is a good thing, because Parr is still one of the best in the world and it turns out Parr just suffered a nasty looking hand injury and will have to withdraw from a September fight against Frank Giorgio. No clue how this will affect his possible October plans, but we will see.
Parr posted a few photos on his Facebook of his hand. After getting a MRI it turns out that he smashed his metacarpals and scaphoid, and while there weren't broken bones, the pain and healing time will be the same as a break. Tough luck, but at least Parr will continue his path of world domination.

text: One of my hives has a bad bottom board on it. I guess the best way to install a new bottom is to take the top hivebody off. Take each rack out of the bottom hivebody and install them in a new hivebody. Then, take the bottom board off and install a new bottom board. put my racks back in where they were. Install the top hivebody back in place & install the inner lid & top. Is this the way I need to do this project. I thought I would do it when it cools off in a month or so. Thanks in advance for any advice. Tony,

Reviews of this property
Wie letztes Mal, sehr gut und ist weiterzuempfehlen. Sauber, ruhig und schöne Räumlichkeiten.
Nettes kleines Zimmer in perfekter Lage! Gute und hochwertige Ausstattung (z.B.Badezimmer). Leider hat die Wohnung ein Souterrain-Feeling.
El apartamento està muy bien. Muy cuidado y limpio. Tuvimos un poco de problemas al encontrarlo porque (segun GPS) hay tres calles con el mismo nombre en esta ciudad, y lo encontramos a la tercera ;) . Muy cercano al metro que te deja al centro y a un paseo a través de viñedos. Es una zona muy tranquila, para dormir comodamente. Ademas se puede aparcar muy facil en la zona.
einfach nur toll. Sauberes Zimmer, gut ausgestattet und sehr, sehr ruhig. Bequemes Bett, es stimmt alles.
Alles war sehr schön & wie beschrieben, das Appartement ist wirklich schick, funktional eingerichtet und hat eine gute Lage. Komme gerne wieder.
ottimo appartamento - posizione perfetta - parcheggio facile - proprietaria accogliente

I booked the property for my friends, who were in trouble - already approaching Stuttgart, but in turned out that their Wimdu booking had been turned down without them noticing. Dagmar reacted very quickly after my request and and we can't thank her enough.
So what I heard: The flat was nice, location quite good and free parking was marvellous.
My wife and I spent one night, in a clean, tastefully furnished room with kitchen and modern bathroom. We even had our own little terrace. We had a little trouble getting the key out of the safe, but Dagmar was immediately to hand to help us out. Parking was no problem.

Wiki WORKS!
Published on my BLOG – www.roadcage.com
I just had an online conversation with an editor at Wiki – and she really helped. Let me describe the confusion – sounds obtuse from the git, doesn't it – 'describe the confusion'?!
Here's the prob: My identity has been contested, a few people who 'contribute' to the Wiki entry labeled Buddy Cage see it differently than I. Now, get this, some people out there on Wikipedia feel that I have missed the beat, have argued the facts about my history. For the past year, it starts like this, Buddy Cage – An American guitarist (generally how a professional musician from the US begins), and then goes on to list my musical associations, recording sessions, various appearances and so forth.
But the 'others' have intervened to straighten me out as regarding, my personal and professional life. Apparently, this is the way Wiki works, at least thus far, online. Anyone can manipulate the online perception providing they have established themselves as 'credible' sources with other 'credible' authorities. Weird? Yeah, a little. Particularly in light of the fact that I am who I am and hopefully still, in a modest way possess my faculties.
So, we're going to try a suggested tack in the endeavor as was offered by our friend, editor at Wiki. I think they all sort-of become authorities after a fashion. Our editor implies that there is no effort to have any other agenda but to 'scrupulously' scrub my biography! Hmmm…'for me'…
Yes, I was born in Toronto, Canada Feb. 18, 1946 – if you're into astrology as a relatively harmless, social, parlor game you would understand I, as an Aquarian have trouble putting up with tedious horseshit.
I began to take Hawaiian guitar lessons in the Summer of 1957 in Port Credit, Ontario – some really neat people at the Conservatory who cared to give me their best through lessons on how not to suck! My life as a professional player came in 1961, I left high school in 1963 to pursue music and landed a solid gig in '65. I never looked back or was out of work ever again.
I took most dates living in Canada in the United States – back then, there wasn't such a closed system to traveling musicians, INS was much, much looser. No one was out there to rob someone else from their livelihood – we had a union (A.F. of M.) but they were pretty much useless except for television, radio, recordings, etc. – they didn't have a lot of strength in area regulations - with the notable exception of Local in Chicago. You get my drift? In fact, we as musicians were considered 'special people' (do you know how I identified with that?). We were, and are a fairly non-combatant group.
I worked the preponderance of dates in the US. As it should be – it was fair, these were the jobs. After all I had lost most, if not all contact with Canada as regards as nationality. I was technical a Canadian citizen but I belonged to the world of musicians. The US was, and is, is where I honed my craft, lived, exercised my freedom – had my families. There is a rather unfortunate term in the Immigration game – the term Resident-Immigrant but that's the way it is – I don't write the terms. I work within the system.
I maintained that status as a Green Card holder 'till 1991 where I took the offer to become a full citizen of the United States, something I'm proud of it. I was graduated from New London HS in Connecticut through the G.E.D. opportunity on a recommendation from my old friend Waylon Jennings who recently had been through that process.
However, some Wiki's choose to identify me otherwise. They have tried to refer to me as Canadian-American, Canadian lives in New York City, 'once-born-always-will-be' (lol, giggle, giggle…) – this is frankly garbage. For all their alleged scrupulousness, they continually skew my Wiki introduction to the version that pleases themselves – some choose, evidently a couple Canadians, to declare me to satisfy their own selves, of their own nationality. I have zero Canadian affiliation, no Canadian tithe or pride of any kind. In the service of your own, you do a disservice to me.
I am what I am – I'm an American guitarist. My residence? None of your business, actually. In the music business, I will reside where I benefit myself, my choice and irrelevant to historical accuracy.
I left Canada permanently in 1965 when the first gigs took me to the US returning only for certain tours and to visit my parents coordinating with my tour schedules. I worked for Ian & Sylvia/Great Speckled Bird, a Canadian band. I left somewhat of a musical footprint through gigs and shows, some sessions in Canada working as a freelancing musician most notably with Anne Murray, a 2 week job playing for I&S at the Canadian Pavilion of the World Expo '70 culminating in the Festival Express train tour across Canada – dvd available online! I ended my relationship with Ian after the train job although I kept up doing a few tv shows on his Nashville North/Ian Tyson Show.
In the Spring of 1971, I lived and worked as a New Rider (still after 40 years!) and continue to do so with a multitude of independent music jobs.
I don't mind the scrutiny but I resent the perception that I am other than an American guitarist! Please stop insisting on your Canadian references thru my Wiki profile – it causes me damage, personally and professionally.

Depression involves the body, mood, and thoughts, and affects the way a person eats and sleeps, feels about himself or herself, and thinks about things.
A nutritious, well-balanced diet and exercise can keep your body fit and able to resist disease, and exercise is an excellent way to elevate your mood.
It's not the job that creates stress, it's the way a person responds to the urgencies and demands of each workplace environment that makes them stressed or energized.
When your life seems to be spinning out of control, it's OK to seek professional mental health help.
If you feel depressed during fall and winter months, you may have a form of depression called seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
It's normal to feel stressed or anxious now and then. But it's time to call for help if emotional issues interfere with your life, your job or your personal relationships.
A woman's unique biological, social, and cultural factors may increase her risk for depression.
In the United States, 78 percent of all mothers with kids ages 6 to 17 work in paid jobs. Most—including married working moms—also are responsible for child care and housework.

Engraving entitled 'The Royal Armoury in the Tower of London' showing visitors to the Grand Storehouse. British, dated 1822
Engraving entitled 'The Royal Armoury in the Tower of London' showing visitors to the Grand Storehouse. British, dated 1822
An Historical Description of the Tower of London and its Curiosities, printed for Newberry and Carnan, London, 1768
The Horse Armoury, by an unknown artist, early 19th century
Figure of William the Conqueror, detail from a watercolour of the Line of Kings. Early 19th century (I.69 )
In the 18th century the Tower became such a well-known visitor attraction that authors featured it in books of various kinds, including educational ones for children. John Newbery was a publisher and printer who played a pioneering role in the production of books for young people . From about 1750 his business, and its successors after his death in 1767, published a book entitled For Little Misses and Masters, which included various writing exercises. The unknown author took as a scenario for a letter-writing opportunity the visit of a boy to see the sights at the Tower of London.
'Master Curious' has to write to his mother, who is not in London, about what he has seen and his opinions of the various attractions. In several respects the letter that he composes reflects the pre-eminence of the Tower amongst Georgian London's visitor attractions. For a younger audience it covers similar territory – although in considerably more detail – to part of one of the letters in Samuel Richardson's Letters written to and for particular Friends, on the most important Occasions. Directing not only the requisite Style and Forms to be observed in writing Familiar Letters; but how to think and act justly and prudently, in the common Concerns of Human Life, which had been written about a decade earlier. Several shared elements suggest that the writer of For Little Misses and Masters was familiar with Richardson's volume and adapted the young woman's letter in order to suit the writing style of a small boy.
Newbery's book is a reminder that the Tower, in the 18th century as much as today, was an attraction with a very broad appeal which included children. 'Jacky's' letter includes the suggestion, which was repeated in print since Ned Ward wrote The London Spy in 1698-9, that for country visitors new to London, the Tower was a 'must-see' visitor attraction:
A LETTER FROM MASTER JACKY CURIOUS IN LONDON TO HIS MAMMA IN THE COUNTRY; giving a Description of the Tower, Monument and St Paul's Church.
Honoured Madam,
I am just now come from seeing the Tower, Monument and St Paul's Cathedral (Places which I remember to have heard much talk'd of in the Country) and scarce which any Body that comes to London omits seeing' .
The Tower … (describes walls… 'Menagerie, Mint, Jewel Room …)
The next is the Horse Armoury, a grand Sight indeed; here are fifteen of our English Monarchs on Horseback, all dressed in rich Armour, and attended by their guards; but I think it is not so beautiful as the next Thing we saw, which was the Small Armoury: This consists of Pikes, Muskets, Swords, Halberds and Pistols, sufficient, as they told us, for threescore thousand Men; and all are placed in such beautiful Order, and in such different Figures representing the Sun, Star and Garter, Half Moons, and such like, that I was greatly delighted with it; and they all being kept clean and scowered, made a most brilliant Appearance. Hence we went and saw the Train of Artillery, in the Grand Storehouse, as they call it, which is filled with Cannon and Mortars, all extremely fine' …
'… is also a Diving-Bell with other Curiosities too tedious to mention; which having examined, we came away and went to the Monument …'
… Madam, Your ever dutiful Son, JOHN CURIOUS' .
An almost identical version of this letter, but without the character 'Jacky Curious', appears in The Lilliputian Library or Gulliver's Museum, attributed to Richard Johnson and probably compiled in the 1770s . This continued to be re-printed in the 1780s, and probably later, supporting the Tower's long-running position as London's foremost attraction in the 18th century.

text: I have tried to graft larvae three times now, and the bees only accept one cup. I think I may be hurting them in transfer. I have read about priming the cups with royal jelly, but how much is enough or too much? Also, I made my own grafting tool fron a paper clip, flattened, curved, and filed to a sliver. Is there a trick to scooping the little guys out of the cell, or does it just take practice? My homemade "jenter system" never works right, so I tried the old fashioned way. The colony split queens are working out really well, but I wanted to get into this grafting of larvae to queens. I read everything I can get my hands on, but I must be missing something...and they are fresh hatched larvae.

I have heard that the amd 63 uses elm, I think. I used to have one, I think I let it get away in a trading deal.
On the AKs that have blonde wood, what kind of wood (or woods) is used? I was thinking it would be nifty to have a certain stock normally made out of plastic, except in blonde... but I realized that other than "wood", I don't know what I need to look for.

Forign guns???? Who knows what to hell they use sometimes ?? I've seen some weird woods used overseas, even there walnut is quite a bit different looking than here in the US. But here it's usually beech or birch, or maple, that's usually used for light colored wood stocks.
You want to build you're own and want it light and want something a bit different,,, how about something like 1/4 sawed oak or bird's eye maple,or curly maple. There a bit of a bitch to work with, but will give you a nice light colored stock with some personality to it. The other light woods used are usually pretty bland grain wise, and don't really add much to a gun's look IMO .
I've done several Birds eye stocks ,burl wood and other exotic woods for grips for handguns and rifle stocks that looked really sweat. Mostly on smoke poles and real nice handguns. But generally only on higher end stuff too, sense some of these woods are quite expensive and quite hard to find in some cases. Wood like birds eye it's a bear to work and to get a good finish on,, but it sure is pretty when you do!!!
Hell if your just looking for light,,,,just find a decent take off and redo it ,if you want it to look factory. Lots less work over all. Ak stocks are pretty straight forward and don't take much to do sense there's no in-letting to do, so even really hard woods will be easy to do on one of those.
Try using it on something like a Kentucky style rifle though !! That birds eye one I built took forever to do, even though I had a mill to "hog out" the most of it,,,, it still took forever. That's one hard ass wood to work with!!! But very pretty,,,
The lighter euro woods are usually Birch or Beech., the Chinese is Chu wood aka Catalpa. They used Amber Shellac for the finish on Bulgarian, Romanian, and Chinese., oil on Hungarian.
Birch or beech, I can probably find. Thanks Blue!

The Yugoslavians used Elm.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
Here is an older post from Mat at Ironwood Design on the subject>Matt from Ironwood Designs here,
Thought I would chime in on this discussion.
True, Mitchell did claim they were Teak, the stocks are not Teak.
We have used Teak for years to make our Yugo reproduction stocks, simply because it looks virtually identical, when finished with a typical gun stock oil, like Tung, Tru, or Linseed oil.
I had spoken to Bill at Patomic arms a few years ago about this very same question. He responded and said that the guys at the Zastava factory laughed when they heard that everyone thought that the Yugos came with Teak stocks, a very expensive Southeast Asian hardwood. The actual wood used on most of the M70s was a species of Birch, found in Eastern Europe, ( Yugolavia and regions nearby).
M90/95s were typically fitted with Beech wood, which we do use for both M70 & M90 stock sets. I'm not sure about Elm, as I have never worked with that material before.
Here's a pic with some Yugos with our Teak sets installed and finished.
Can you tell which one is Teak? One of the sets has original Yugo furniture.

Author Jeanne Theoharis to lead reading and discussion of 'The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks' April 11 at Wayne Law
March 29, 2013
"The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks," a new book by Jeanne Theoharis, will be discussed by the author – who also will field questions – during a reading at noon, April 11, in the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne State University Law School. The event is free and open to the public.
The political biography presents a corrective approach to the popular portrayal of Rosa Parks as a quiet seamstress who, with one single act, began the civil rights movement. Theoharis focuses on Parks' six decades of activism and debunks the myth that Parks was a tired and accidental actor in the civil rights movement.
Theoharis is a professor of political science at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. She has authored or co-authored seven books and numerous articles on the contemporary politics of race and the black freedom struggle.
The event takes place in room 2242 of Wayne Law's Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights. Parking is available for $6 in Structure 1 on Palmer Street across from the Law School.
To arrange an interview with Theoharis, contact Carol Baldwin, communications director for Wayne Law, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call 313-577-4629.

With the growing number of Indians traveling outbound, the tourism market in India is gearing up with several international tourism boards aggressively reaching out to the Indian middle class. There has been an increase in the number of direct flights from several overseas destinations and is one of many steps being taken to encourage outbound tourism in India.
In India the awareness about individual health insurance is growing and many first time buyers, especially older people are in a dilemma regarding which policy to buy if they have a pre-existing medical ailment.
Travelling abroad will be safer and more secure when you have proper insurance coverage. Overseas travel insurance for Indians designed by TATA AIG is one of the best insurance coverage to get financial assistance during medical emergency abroad. The coverage details of TATA AIG travel insurance are below. Refer and choose the plan that can best suit your requirements.
We have witnessed tremendous advancement and implementation of technology in the health care sector in India. There are hospitals in India which are internationally popular for their specialization.
Indian health care costs have increased hugely over the years with medical inflation rising higher than the already high regular inflation. This along with increasing number of multi-speciality hospitals in the country makes healthcare unaffordable for most Indians unless they have adequate medical insurance.
The Asian continent is the largest in the world and there is much to see and do for holiday goers. The top destinations we have mentioned here represent the continents diversity.
Travellers looking for overseas travel insurance coverage have many different policies available offered by reputed insurance companies. The benefits offered can be the similar by different plans but the coverage specific amounts can vary from insurer to insurer.
Travelling abroad requires good travel insurance coverage. This is true for all travellers but the challenge is to choose the best travel insurance coverage? There are insurance plans available with different types of coverage for Indian travellers going abroad for a short stay overseas. Though you may not actually use the travel insurance policy every time it is unwise to travel to a foreign country uninsured.
The Indian insurers are soon going to upgrade for smart card based approval system. This could save lot of crucial time which is usually lost during cashless hospital admissions.
Medical tourism in India has evolved over the years and has opened a lot of economic opportunities for businessmen and investors from India and abroad. We have seen Indians traveling overseas for medical treatment and of late the trends is being reciprocated where India is now receiving visitors from overseas coming to access health care in India.
Summer holidays is arriving soon and people from India planning an overseas vacation can refer to the travel tips mentioned below. Plan your holiday to one of the top locations with your loved ones and spend quality time. Choose the destination, activities or adventure you want to do while abroad and plan your itinerary well in advance along with room reservations at hotel/cruise/resort.


text: Why does everyone want Bradshaw back, yes he was tough as nails, but his wheels where pretty banged up, RB's do not last long in the NFL. We have two very capable young backs on this team, and with today's salary cap, you can not have two good cheap backs sitting on the bench. Wishing Bradshaw nothing but the best wherever he may end up, he will always be a Giant no matter what.

I have no idea, no need to risk an injury. Let the rookie get some more time
Career day for Bradshaw. Get him on the sidelines and rest him up for next week.

Giants fan since the early 80s
Game is in the bag, and Andre Brown is on the bench all game. What to hell is going on with this team. You've got a good young back that carried you two games, and he doesn't even get mop-up time in a game like this? THIS IS TOTAL BULL CRAP. It's almost like Gilbride and Coughlin won't play Brown because the press and fans questioned thier wisdom in using Bradshaw exclusively. Martin comes in, gets one carry, and we don't see him again the rest of the game. This is the time to see what Martin can do, don't put him in one play then let him sit the rest of the game! Just can't believe the way they use their players. Robinson didn't get in a TE that I saw either. I just don't get it.
Andre Brown was hurt in the 1st quarter, "Andre Brown won't return with head injury, Giants announce."
As for Robinson, I have no issue with that. still a project rookie.
Man the things people complain about
"...two minute drill at the end of each quarter, Ya'know with the wind like this blowing mooch and marshall into the ocean...If that's behind me I think were getting 3 from 70 so holla at your boy. IF YOU DON"T PICK ME THAT'S A JOKE RIGHT?" - Justin Tucker, Ravens kicker

Johnathan Manning // American Press firstname.lastname@example.com
Two women have filed a lawsuit in Beauregard's 36th Judicial District Court alleging that former Merryville Police Chief James Fowler forced them into an "unjustified" strip search after a traffic stop.
The town of Merryville and its police department are listed as co-defendants in the suit, which was filed in March.
The women claim that in March 2012, a Merryville Police Department employee stopped
the women's vehicle "without justification and/or probable cause."
The vehicle was searched with a dog that "upon information and belief, did not alert, was enticed into falsely alerting and/or falsely alerted on the vehicles," the suit reads.
The women were subjected to a strip search at the scene and made to squat while naked, the suit alleges.
One of the women was arrested and served five days in the parish jail, according to the suit. The suit also claims that Fowler intentionally put off submitting a report to delay the setting of the bond, which was set at $500.
Fowler attempted to have someone else plant drugs in the other woman's car to dissuade the women from pursuing the lawsuit, the suit says.
The suit claims Fowler had a history "of making vehicle stops without probable cause and attempting to romantically engage young women."
Merryville and its police department filed a motion in April requesting that the suit be moved from district court to federal court.
In April, Fowler pleaded guilty to one count of abuse of office and was sentenced to 60 days in the Beauregard Parish Jail, according to court documents. Fowler was also sentenced to a suspended three-year prison term.
Originally, Fowler was also charged with filing false public records and malfeasance in office. The charges stemmed from an incident in April 2012 in which a search by Fowler during a traffic stop failed to produce any drugs.
State police said that after letting the vehicle go, Fowler learned that a passenger might be carrying drugs in her purse.
He crossed the state line to Bon Weir, Texas, where he found the car and drugs in the woman's pocketbook. He took her back to Beauregard Parish.

These connections are specifically interesting for applications where droplets, particles or very expensive reagents are used. Beside the applications advantages SideConnect technology allows a more cost effective way of making integrated microfluidic devices. The microfluidic connection is made at the bonding interface between top and bottom wafer (side connection). Traditional connections need through holes from top or bottom in one substrate. This adds process cost and device footprint compared to the SideConnect approach.
Micronit's SideConnect technology is compatible with applications like capillary electrophoresis, (parallelized) droplet generation, micro reactions and many more. For specific applications the chip-cartridge design can be customized.

Today I went with my son and daughter to watch splits being made from standard hives. This was put on by our local bee keeping association.
They would start with a strong hive and find 3 or 4 frames with no or very little sealed brood but lots of eggs or open brood from the brood box. Each frame was shaken or brushed clean of bees, mostly to keep from having the queen on board. They would place these in a box which was placed above the hive with a queen excluder. The idea being that the nurse bees would rush up to take care of the brood. This box than would after 24 hours be taken to another location and then given a queen the following day.
I was wondering if this could be used in a TBH using the honey barrier as a queen exluder? It seems like an ideal way to get a good start for a hive without worrying about finding the queen on each topbars comb.

We arrived on 22nd April and leave tomorrow morning (27th) for Budapest, Hungary.
Our hotel is in a "local" suburb of Istanbul and not a very tourist friendly area. Nevertheless we've plodded through and enjoyed our time.
Our first venture in to the town of Fatih was interesting! Wandered into a food market area where we became the immediate targets of every Tom, Dick & Harry who had something to sell. Intimidating, loud, and we had no idea what we wanted. But then through the madness came the voice of an angel who nicely asked "Chicken kebab?" We turned to see the angel was a 50+ year old Turkish man but the joy was all in the message..
We've enjoyed a cruise of the Bosphorous River, guided tours of the Blue Mosque, Hippodrome & Aya Sofia, walked around the beautiful Sultanahmet area and shopped the Grand Bazaar. (That bazaar has over 3,000 shops covering 60 streets. We didn't cover them all and may have covered a few twice, but we made it out alive and before lunch). It's all brilliant but too much to explain in detail when in a tiny internet cafe surrounded by the cigarette smoke of Turks playing online backgammon.
Hope all is well and you're spending the stimulus package well.
Just arrived in Budapest, Hungary. Alicia is having a nap and I have free hostel internet all to myself, so I'll give a few extra details about Turkey.
Now. What did Alicia want me to mention??
The one thing I remember from yesterday afternoon was buying a BBQ corn cob from a street vendor for $1.50, and it sucked
The traffic in Istanbul is nice, if you're a homicidal maniac. They drive without rules. They drive without giving a rats what anyone else is doing. Crossing the road like frogger is fun when you get away with it but terrifying while you're trying!
Alicia did really ask me to mention some things in more detail when I had a chance but buggered if I remember what they are, so watch this space.
Hungary details of course will be with you soon. Especially if I can keep getting access to free hostel internet!

Jefferson appoints new judge
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Idaho - A new district judge was appointed for Jefferson County Friday. This comes as a relief as judges said they have their work cut out for them.
Lawyer, and now judge, Alan Stephens said he is ready to get to work.
"It's obviously an honor and I appreciate the governor's confidence. It's obviously a good thing or I wouldn't have applied."
Although it may be a good thing, Stephens applied for more than just a gavel and a nice chair. Currently judges are taking turns covering cases in Jefferson County and they said it isn't easy. Judge Greg Moeller said it has a lot to do with Eastern Idaho's growing population.
"We've had a huge population increase in the 7th District. We've also had a huge increase in the number of cases because of that," said Moeller.
Moeller travels throughout Madison, Teton, and Jefferson counties taking on criminal and high-profile civil suits.
"That's a lot of travel and I think most of the judges in our district have to travel a lot. So, this new position is going to mean all of our caseloads are going to decrease by 20 percent," he said.
He also said although all three candidates were strong and well-suited for the position, Stephens was the best person for the job.
Judges said Stephens was appointed at a good time because without the extra help, judges wouldn't be able to manage their time effectively between cases. Judges in the area have often found themselves focusing on criminal cases to ensure that they abide by a citizen's right to a speedy trial.
"When we have to spend a lot of time on criminal cases it gives us less time to spend on civil cases," said Moeller.
Although Stephens has been appointed to Jefferson County, Moeller will be taking over the Granados murder trial starting Monday.


text: I saw talk here about McAdoo implementing a West Coast offense, do we know that for sure? If so, then will we be using the quick horizontal pass to set up the run, versus using the run to set up the pass like Killdrive did? Also, this is rather naive, if we were not West Coast Offense before, what were we? Is there a name for the offense Killdrive ran? Is it from the Parcells tree of coaching? Or a nameless "traditional" system?

Lined and Coated Piping Systems
Abrasive Services
New patented XL 90° and 45° elbows and couplings can extend the life of abrasive systems by up to three times longer. XL fittings maintain the same inner diameter (ID) dimensions as standard fittings to provide uninterrupted, full flow capabilities without restrictions. The fitting design reduces the gap between pipe ends for pipe-to-fitting and fitting-to-fitting connections to reduce leading-edge wear and further extend the life of the fittings. XL fittings are designed with the ability to accommodate an extra 1/4"/6.4mm of rubber lining that meets standard C - E dimensions for 1 1/2D and 3D fittings. Extra life means fewer scheduled maintenance shut downs leading to increase productivity.
Regardless of the abrasive media traveling through your piping system, Victaulic offers a variety of solutions that are tailored to meet your requirements. Unlike welding and flanging that are costly and difficult to install Victaulic pipe joining systems install in less than half the time while maintaining the integrity of the abrasive lining. XL Fittings are compatible with rubber, urethane, ceramic and other linings.
Cut Groove System
On piping systems using Schedule 40 or higher wall thickness, a groove is cut into the outside diameter of the pipe. The result is a reliable joint that reduces installation and downtime during maintenance by up to 66 percent. No heat is required and the inner surface of the pipe remains smooth maintaining the integrity of the lining. Cut groove systems, when used with flexible couplings, allow for expansion, contraction and deflection where needed and are available for systems up to 42"/1050 mm.
Ring System
Where maintaining the full wall thickness of the system is required, ring systems are commonly found. A ring with a groove or shoulder is attached to the outside diameter of the pipe and the coupling mounts over the ring to complete the joint. Ring systems are available with Original Groove System (OGS) or Advanced Groove System (AGS) ring designs and are available for use on systems up to 90"/2250mm.
Shouldered System
For shouldered pipe systems, Victaulic offers a line of couplings, fittings and valves. Valves and fittings are provided with shouldered ends, while the coupling system features installation-ready™ shouldered couplings from 2 - 8"/50 - 200 mm piping and standard couplings for 10 and 12"/250 and 300 mm sizes. Galvanized finishes on the coupling and fittings ensure additional protection against corrosive environments.
Plain End System
HDPE piping systems used for coal dust require frequent maintenance and replacement due to the highly abrasive nature of the media. When maintenance is required there is no union in the system. Downtime is costly and time consuming. With Victaulic HDPE products, simply cut and join the pipe ends. Victaulic couplings for HDPE systems are rated to a higher working pressure than the pipe and provide a union at every joint. Victaulic plain end joining solutions are available in sizes up to 20"/500 mm.
Corrosive Services
For piping systems exposed to internally corrosive media or externally corrosive environments Victaulic solutions are designed to increase system life, add to design versatility and reduce downtime where maintenance is required.
Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coated System
For fusion bonded epoxy systems grooved piping provides holiday-free service. Fusion bonded epoxy systems can be compromised when exposed to the heat needed to join welded systems. Grooving is a cold forming process thereby maintaining the integrity of the lining while providing a union at every joint.
Galvanized System
Flexible and rigid couplings, fittings and accessories are all available with a galvanized finish to protect against corrosive environments. Galvanized Victaulic grooved systems eliminate all the challenges and health hazards associated with welding galvanized systems.
Stainless Steel System
A wide range of stainless steel systems can be joined using the Victaulic grooved and Vic- Press® piping systems. For small diameter Type 304 and 316 stainless piping, Vic-Press is the first system that is compatible with standard Schedule 10S stainless steel pipe. For larger diameter Type 304 and Type 316 stainless steel as well as duplex and super duplex systems, Victaulic offers a variety of pipe joining solutions.

Contact Pacific Southwest Waste Program
Pacific Southwest, Region 9
Serving: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Pacific Islands, Tribal Nations
Solid Waste Management on Tribal Lands
Regulations for Open Dumps, Landfills and Transfer Stations
- Are there any regulations for the management or disposal of garbage (solid waste)?
- How are tribes defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act?
- What is EPA's role relative to states and tribes?
Open Dumps
EPA defines an "open dump" as a multi-family dumpsite of any size or content. Open dumping is illegal under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The hazards of open dumping can include the release of toxics and heavy metals to the air and water; the increased presence of disease vectors such as rodents and insects; and physical hazards such as hypodermic needles, poisonous gases, and/or piercing objects.
EPA's Pacific Southwest Tribal Solid Waste Program helps prevent open dumping in Indian Country by providing funding and technical assistance to develop solid waste management and enforcement programs. For dumpsites posing an imminent and substantial endangerment, EPA can enforce closure under RCRA Section 7003 or 4005c2. Citizens can bring federal civil suits under RCRA Section 7002 for potential or actual violations of RCRA.
We rely on our partnership with the Indian Health Service (IHS) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to rank the relative risk of open dumpsites and prioritize them for closure. We also work closely with BIA to enforce against the operators of specific sites when necessary.
Research, Development and Demonstration Permits (RD&D) (PDF) (56 pp, 97K)
EPA provides technical assistance to improve compliance at tribal landfills. For landfill siting issues, EPA works in partnership with tribes, following the August 1997 draft guidance, entitled "Site-Specific Flexibility Requests for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills in Indian Country". This draft guidance document describes a process by which municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) owners and operators in Indian Country can request design and operating flexibility. This same flexibility is available to landfill owners and operators in states with EPA-approved permitting programs. The process encourages active dialogue among tribes, MSWLF owners and operators, EPA and the public.
Transfer Stations
Waste transfer stations are facilities where municipal solid waste is unloaded from collection vehicles and briefly held while it is reloaded onto larger transport vehicles for shipment to landfills or other treatment or disposal facilities.
No federal regulations exist that are specifically applicable to transfer stations; however, EPA developed a set of best management practices for transfer stations. Best practices for siting, design, and operation of waste transfer stations are described in the EPA publication, Waste Transfer Stations: A Manual for Decision-Making (PDF) (66 pp., 650K About PDF) (2002).
Are there any regulations for the management or disposal of garbage (solid waste)?
Yes. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulates the management and disposal of garbage. Subtitle D of RCRA (PDF) (14 pp., 331K About PDF)encourages environmentally sound solid waste management practices that maximize the reuse of recoverable materials and foster resource recovery. States and tribes often have additional regulations governing solid waste management.
Prior to the twentieth century, the United States produced minimal amounts of solid wastes. The industrial revolution and changes in our lifestyle caused accelerated growth in the volume of solid wastes produced by our society. The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 addressed how to dispose safely of large volumes of municipal and industrial solid wastes. Its purpose was to protect human health and the environment, to reduce wastes, and to limit the generation of hazardous waste. In the mid-1970s, Congress and the public recognized that additional regulations were needed to ensure solid wastes were managed properly. These concerns resulted in the passage of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as an amendment to the original waste disposal act of 1965. RCRA greatly expanded provisions for the management of hazardous wastes and provided additional protection to the quality of groundwater, surface water, the air and the land from contamination by solid waste. Initially, RCRA's focus was on establishing a regulatory framework for hazardous waste management. The objectives of RCRA have evolved with amendments in 1980 and 1984, with the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) being particularly significant.
The Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA) of 1965
The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 was the first federal effort to improve waste disposal technology. Its principal aim was regulation of municipal waste disposal technology, while recognizing that solid waste management was essentially a local issue. The Environmental Protection Agency was tasked with developing standards for waste disposal. Further, it was the intent of Congress that states and tribes be responsible for implementing and enforcing the regulations.
Resource Recovery Act (RRA) of 1970
Increasing concerns over protection for human health and the environment lead to amendments of the 1965 SWDA, and the 1970 Resource Recovery Act (RRA) was passed. The RAA increased federal involvement with management of solid waste; it encouraged waste reduction and resource recovery and created national disposal criteria for hazardous wastes. This Act was the forerunner of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976.
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976
RCRA gave EPA the authority to control hazardous waste from the "cradle-to-grave." This includes the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA also set forth a framework for the management of non-hazardous wastes.
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984
HSWA required phasing out land disposal of hazardous waste. Some of the other mandates of this strict law include increased enforcement authority for EPA, more stringent hazardous waste management standards, and a comprehensive underground storage tank program.
How are tribes defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)?
Tribes are defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act as "Municipalities." Because of this definition, the courts have ruled that EPA cannot approve Solid Waste Programs for Tribes (Backcountry against Dumps v. EPA). Tribes are responsible for implementing and enforcing the minimal requirements outlined in 40 CFR (parts 257 and 258). This, however, does not prevent a tribe from using its own sovereignty to develop a solid waste program, providing that the standards are at least equal to or exceed the minimal federal standards found in 40 CFR. A tribe may acquire "Site Specific Flexibility (PDF) (30 pp., 224K About PDF)" for landfill siting through a petition process to the Environmental Protection Agency.
What is EPA's role relative to states and tribes?
EPA's role with respect to state solid waste management plans is limited to:
- Establishing guidelines for the development and implementation of state plans
- Providing technical assistance
- Approving plans that comply with these requirements
- Ensuring state programs are in compliance with federal law
The main responsibility for developing and implementing state plans lies with each state.
EPA's role with respect to tribal plans is limited to:
- Establishing guidelines for the development and implementation of tribal plans
- Providing technical assistance
The responsibility for developing and implementing tribal plans lies with each tribe.

The Pigs, They Are Flying
So, I'm updating my blog and, given the lame rarity of that event, I'm illustrating it with a flying pig, a flying pig lovingly crafted by Ellie as my Mother's Day gift. She actually just walked past and exclaimed, "Oooooh! Click on my pig! You really LOVE it don't you?" She's right. I really love this pig. Were it not for my daughter and her unique color sense, I would have never noticed that my interior decor was bereft of ceramic winged farm animals. In fact, I don't have any wingless farm animals, either, and a general violent allergy to tchotkes, but still: I really love this porker, right down to his one pink foot.
You know what else I love?
Sharks. If there's anything Jimmy knows about his mother, it's that she really loves sharks.
The best part of both these gifts is that knowledge that Ellie and Jimmy were secretly escorted to the ceramic studio by my husband and my father, TOGETHER. My husband and my father, not paint-your-own ceramic joint kind of guys in the least, went on a little ceramic date together and helped the kids do this (they also made a set for my mom: horse and rattlesnake(!)) and I could not be more delighted. I'm expecting ceramic weirdness for every major holiday, boys.
At any rate, on to summer! See you tomorrow...

I'll have to work but happy birthday Gen.Lee .
I gotta work. Could pull out the battle rifles and inspect them after supper.
Don't forget that it is James Earl Ray
Appreciation Day also
Any body remember What the "Greaseman" on DC101 fm said on the 1rst MLK day???
I do. Of all places this DJs show was in DC and he said to kill four more and take the week off.
It didn't go over too well.
Happy Birthday General Lee.
I'm drinking beer tonight. And, I don't have to get up and work tomorrow.
Wish I was out in MILL's county hunting HOGS tonight!
Fun to hit those with a couple of 9mm 124Gr. Find them dead up the road the next day.
BETTER DEAD than chasing the kids around there.
They have been using Helicopters with machine guns in Texas lately. HOGS are so bad that the game warden is allowing full auto weapons to be used to hunt them here.
It is a weird sound an UZI makes when 9mm hits live flesh on a HOG.
LOTS of BLOOD!
Sometimes some of you are better anti-gunners than senator feinstein and you don't even know it.
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
