Man arrested on suspicion of attempting to have sex with dog
COLUMBIA,Mo. - For the first time in the Boone County Sheriff's Department Cyber Crimes Task detectives arrested a man on charges of trying to have sex with an animal.
Jerald Hill from Roach bonded out of jail.
Wednesday we learned through sources and viewer tips Hill was a church leader at Windermere Baptist Conference Center.
We have contacted to the church several times Wednesday for comment, but have not heard back.
"This is a reality of what we see in cyber crimes is that bestiality and this kind of act is an ongoing issue out there," said Detective Tracy Perkins with the Boone County Sheriff's Department Cyber Crimes Task Force.
Hill is accused of taking to Craigslist days ago posting he wanted a dog to engage in sexual activities with.
Users of the website are the ones who hold the power to regulate the site by flagging things found inappropriate, which happened to Hill's post when a Craigslist user saw what he was asking for, flagged it, and then left a tip for the Cyber Crimes Task Force.
"As the cyber crimes unit our responsibility is to protect children and when these types of tips come to us and we know someone is wanting to do such a behavior to an animal we have to step out of our zone that we work in and do the same thing for an animal," said Perkins.
Perkins said in the years working with the task force, she has seen a correlation between bestiality and child pornography.
"It's under that dark world and it's that area where nobody wants to get caught doing. This person in particular I think just got very bold," said Perkins.
Prosecutors have not filed charges yet against Hill.
The case is a misdemeanor investigation.

News: Centegra Gavers Breast Center earns national accreditation
After opening its doors on Sept. 9, 2010, the Centegra Gavers Breast Center has provided more than 10,000 screening mammograms to the women of McHenry County. The center is just a few weeks away from its one-year anniversary and has much to celebrate.
The center offers a full continuum of care for patients identified with abnormal screenings or other breast health concerns and is committed to early detection. This has earned Centegra Gavers Breast Center full accreditation from the American College of Surgeons National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). It is the first center in McHenry County to earn this accreditation. Dr. Nora Hansen, associate professor in surgery and surgical oncology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, who is a national expert in breast cancer research and treatment, surveyed the center and program.
"This accreditation proves that we have met the most rigorous standards and have all the resources and expertise to provide the same quality of breast care right here in McHenry County that patients can get at other great institutions across the country," said Dr. Aaron Schwaab, surgeon and co-medical director of Centegra Gavers Breast Center.
Schwaab and Dr. Gia Compagnoni, surgeons specializing in breast health and independent physicians on staff at Centegra Health System, lead a multidisciplinary team that collaborates to provide the best outcomes for each patient."Having this team with an onsite radiologist means we can significantly reduce the time between diagnosis to treatment. It can be a very stressful time for a woman to wait several days for additional diagnostics or a biopsy, so we've streamlined the process knowing how important it is to each woman's peace of mind to get the care they need in a timely manner," said Lynn Griesmaier, breast health navigator. "I am honored to be a part of a program that truly exemplifies what it means to provide excellent and individualized care for the women in our communities." NAPBC is a consortium of national, professional organizations dedicated to the improvement of the quality of care and the monitoring of outcomes for patients with diseases of the breast.
Accreditation by the NAPBC is only given to those centers that have voluntarily committed to provide the highest level of quality breast care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance. The standards include proficiency in the areas of center leadership, clinical management, research, community outreach, professional education and quality improvement.Receiving care at a NAPBC-accredited center ensures that a patient will have access to:
- Comprehensive care, including a full range of state-of-the-art services
- A multidisciplinary team approach to coordinate the best treatment options
- Information about ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options
- Quality breast care close to home
"We are proud of what we have accomplished in our first year," said Dr. Elissa Brebach, section chief, mammography and radiologist at Centegra Gavers Breast Center. "We know we've been saving lives." The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms for women ages 40 and older to maintain breast health and as a proven way to detect breast cancer in its earliest forms. More than 57,000 non- invasive breast cancers and 230,000 invasive breast cancers will be diagnosed in 2011, according to the American Cancer Society. Non-invasive breast cancer, such as carcinoma in situ, is the most treatable form of breast cancer when found early.
The Centegra Gavers Breast Center allows patients to visit one location for their screening and diagnostic breast imaging needs. Experienced radiologists interpret images in a timely and sensitive manner and women receive hands-on education and support in a comfortable setting from a dedicated breast health navigator.
The center accommodates any physician who wants to participate in the breast center process. If a patient requires more care, the center will work seamlessly with the patient's referring physicians, surgeons, oncologists, sub-specialists and highly recognized staff at the Centegra Sage Cancer Center to make sure all the patient's treatment needs are met.
The community's many generous donations to the Centegra Health System Foundation from individuals and organizations, including the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation and the Centegra Hospital-Woodstock Auxiliary, made the Centegra Gavers Breast Center possible.

If you are stressed, worried or nervous, the distinction between anxiety disorders and "normal" anxiety is not always very clear. Everyone gets stressed and anxious from time to time from situations such as public speaking or having financial worries. However, for some people, this stress and anxiety becomes so forceful it can take over their lives. Anxiety comes in many different forms - panic attacks, phobia, and social anxiety. Although these symptoms can cause an overwhelming feeling of fear, apprehension and panic, there are several methods of relief that can work for you.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks for the info.
Carson City is well West of LA.
My wife is trying to convince me to keep our Fraser 51 in San Deigo because "it's to hard" to get it to San Francisco. I'd only be able to get to it once or twice a month.
We are going to start a year cruise and move abord in July.
See ya, Chris
San Diego to Alameda Eh?
Suggest you tack straight out from bhouy 5 at San Diego Harbor for about 300 miles, clip the outside of san miguel in the channel islands by 100 miles to the west, then turn on the motor, 'cause you have 200 miles of motoring into 15 to 20 foot sea and swell, winds up to 50kts+ on your nose.
Actually, although that's pretty close, there are times which the transition can be made, Forget Fagan, Forget Weather Forcasts, and just plan on a 1 month trip allowing for weather, particularly rounding Pt. Conception. I spent a couple weeks in Coho waiting for weather. And even though the name is Pacific, it isnt the Chesapeake, and it's anything but Pacific.
A good time is later in the year when the Santanas kick in. Watch the charts and when there's a high pressure over the 4 corners, and a low off Arizona, winds will be from the E to South East. This flattens the seas, and gives a good push going north. By the way, look at your charts, the California bight will throw you off.
This leads tho the trivia question, which city is further west. Los Angeles or Carson City Nevada????
Specific SF Link
Remembered that the NWS set up a separate SF Bay, Bar, Approach forecast link..............due to potential challenges & dangers transiting this area by both commercial & recreational vessels
You might consider hiring a delivery captain or having the boat transported via truck. If you go the route of delivery you could leave the delivery date open until late April so there will be time to wait for a good weather window. You might also be able to have the boat transported under the Delivery Co. insurance so that there is no worry about damage should there be a problem.
Remember, if the boat is new to you it is also unfamiliar in terms of it's sailing characteristics in offshore conditions.
Well, insurance issues are always tough nuts to crack and things have not been getting any easier over the past couple of years. Our own Lloyds agent dumped us shortly after 9-11, even though we had been with them for 10 years, sailing all over the Pacific and never ever submitting a claim.
So now Rivendel II has been uninsured for the past 4 years and it does not make us sleep easier, especially now when the first South-Pacific cyclones of the season are starting to rear their ugly heads again...
Even if you do have a longstanding track record with any agent or company, they don't like to change their empirical time/zone restriction rules. Try to find out if that particular rule also exists if you have at least 3 experienced offshore-sailors on board....
Yeah, I understand that might create other problems. However, I have seen people find crew members for this type of "rough" spring delivery trip on some of the bulletin boards (where plenty of sailors are getting stir crazy). So, you never know.
Best of luck
Flying Dutchman
Thanks for all of the info and yes I have been checking out the suggested links.
The last week or two would have been great to go, but I only have Feb 10-21 or the end of March. We will be heading back to the Channel Islands in July-Aug, so if we can't get her up here soon we might leave her in Ventura, if we can find a slip. I hate to have my new baby so far away. I'll keep watching those links and see what happens.
Also I'm shopping for insurance and some underwriters aren't willing to let me pass Point Conception going North until late Spring. Any recommended underwriters you might want to suggest?
Thanks everyone, Chris
Don't know if you're still watching this board. If not, I hope you're watching the FNMOC site forecasts (using the link in my previous post).
There are currently some unseasonally strong coastal highs that are expected to keep producing very nice sailing conditions along the California coast for the next 6 days or so.
So, in case you'r ready to go NOW, this might be your window!
It might be several years before another January window like this comes along.....
Fair winds
Flying Dutchman
Sorry, but when I replied earlier in this thread it did not occur to me that Alameda is actually in San Francisco Bay (rather than somewhere in the greater LA area)....... I sailed the Channel Islands area for quite a few years and although never having to go North of Point Conception myself, studied weather developments in the Pacific very carefully in connection with Rivendel's ssuccessful passages to Hawaii ('94, '97) and the Sea of Cortez ('93 and '95).
This has taught me (the hard way) that pilot charts and other forms of historical weather data are pretty much useless unless the ENSO (El Nino vs La Nina oscillation) status is pretty close to neutral. Currently, we are in a moderately strong El Nino phase. As a result, one may expect the relatively late establishment of a relatively weak Pacific High.
This can be important because the steady procession of strong depressions spinning off from the polar low tends to penetrate further South than when the West coast of the USA is being protected by a large, strong Pacific high.
Even under favorable ENSO conditions the Pacific High tends to establish itself sometime during the Spring. This is one of the reasons that Winter passages up and down the W Coast are generally discouraged. Only a few weeks ago there were horrible weather conditions along the Northern part of the coast that resulted in the loss (with all hands) of a large catamaran, as most of us do probably remember. So, in most years, longer coastal passages are best made in May or later. In an El Nino year, however, it may well take till June or July till the risk of marauding low pressure systems diminishes significantly.
In short, I would keep a keen eye on the establishment of a stable Pacific High before planning to leave. When getting ready, make sure to plot the 5-6 day FNMOC wave and wind forecasts, as the low pressure system that might be threatening you 4 or 5 days from now is almost certainly already in existence way up North and current prediction models often do an amazingly good job of predicting its trajectory. Here is an impression of the highly informative format of the FNMOC EastPac 0-144 hr wind/wave forecasts (just click past the security certificate warning typical for many DOD sites).
Finally, I would strongly discourage trying to make the trip shorthanded as fatigue is the single most dangerous factor on these type of long coastal or near-offshore passages.
Fair winds!
Flying Dutchman
S/V Rivendel II
Port Vila (Vanuatu)
Offshore is Better
Good sailing buddy has made the trip twice in recent years.
One harbor hopping & the other offshore (>30miles)
His advice would be to do the latter.............being offshore avoids wind/water compression points ie; Point Conception, minimizes impact of current, etc
He felt the trip was smoother & safer..............they used the Farallon Islands as waypoint area to start their course/heading toward the Golden Gate Bridge.......which approaching the entrance will also require care / planning given the currents/tide effects, shallow areas north & south plus shipping traffic.
NOAA is a great source for weather & surface data.
Fair Winds
Chris...you can access historical buoy data here:
note that waves and wind are measured in meters and meters/second with 1 meter/sec = to about 2 knots

Hundreds complain to BBC about Live 8 swearing
Page Tools
The BBC has apologised for outbursts of swearing by stars, including Madonna, at the weekend's Live 8 concerts after it received hundreds of complaints from viewers.
More than a million people watched the shows held at 10 venues across the globe on Saturday, while an estimated 2 billion tuned in via the internet, television and radio.
The BBC, which carried live footage with no time delay, said about 350 people had complained about performers using bad language before the 9 pm threshhold, when British TV companies are committed to airing shows suitable for a family audience.
A number of artists at London's Hyde Park could be clearly heard swearing on the BBC's coverage in the early evening.
During her act, Madonna yelled: "Are you f---ing ready, London?" while US rapper Snoop Dogg chanted "Mother f---er" repeatedly during his 15-minute set.
The BBC said it had warned stars about their behaviour.
"We broadcast the Live 8 concerts on the understanding that all artists knew they were performing live and would bear that in mind," the broadcaster said.
"We are very sorry that viewers were offended by swearing ... and apologise especially to those who were watching with children before the 9 pm watershed.
"Many millions of people enjoyed over 12 hours of live broadcasting, but we are, of course, very sorry for any offence caused."
The number of complaints is dwarfed by a record 63,000 viewers who objected in January to the BBC showing the profanity-laden musical, Jerry Springer - The Opera, which went out late at night.

Federal Agency Ratchets Up Transit Push: Calculate Your Carbon Savings
As we reported earlier in the week, more than 80 percent of Americans drive to work alone. Now the Federal Transit Agency is ratcheting up its push to get more people out of cars and into buses (and trains too -- but that would have made for a tougher conceptual photo shoot to pull off).
In preparation for Earth Day, the FTA has released a carbon calculator that tells you how much carbon you emit in a round trip to work. The FTA calculator assumes a commuter causes zero carbon emissions by joining on to existing public transit, which in a sense, is correct. A more accurate measure would be to evaluate the journey's pollution by emissions per passenger mile -- something a calculator on a widget couldn't easily do without knowing your own individual transit system's fuel efficiency.
Rest assured, if you drive to work your car is likely a major source of your environmental footprint, as the FTA points out:
"The average American produces 20 tons of CO2 per year, or 121 pounds per day. So, by taking existing transit rather than driving alone, for a daily commute of 10 miles each way, a person would save 4,600 pounds of CO2 per year (based on 240 working days per year). That is 2.1 metric tons, or about a 10% reduction in carbon footprint. By comparison, weatherizing their home and adjusting their thermostat would save a person about 2,800 pounds of CO2 per year."

383 stroker build Q's
I have posted here before on the 383 that I am building and I just have a few questions on parts that I have purchased and maybe some recommendations or a nudge in the right direction.
First off the stroker crank that I have is cast nodular iron, I have a stock 86 one piece RMS block that has the provisions for the use of roller cam/lifters which I will be using.The pistons that I have purchased are a set of forged speed pro PN L2491NF30, this is about as far as I have made it but I plan on buying a set of aluminum heads (AFR?), a Edelbrock RPM Airgap intake, Quick fuel carb (annular?) and a cam that will come close to matching these.....HUmm....HUumm....
I guess the one place that I am stumped at is the selection of heads, the pistons that I purchased have a -3.4cc Dome and in the Summit catalog it shows that these pistons when used with a 64cc chamber would net a 10.76 compression ratio but when I run it threw the calculator, I get a CR of 12.23 which is way to high. If i run it threw with a 74cc head I get 10.8 and a 10.6 with 76cc, this doesnt even come close as to what they were rated at in the catalog. I have came across a set of aluminum 74cc heads that look to be in good shape but I dont want the CR to be so high that I am stuck using racing fuel. Without a set of heads I cannot further my project so this is where I was hoping a few would step in and help me wrap my brain around this and point me in a direction so I can get back to building.
I was hoping for a 475~HP motor, the carb is another spot Im stuck on the decision making as I thought about the Quick fuel 750AN but it has the choke tower, wasnt sure how much that would hinder performance. I could get there Q series in a 750 but it doesnt com in a annular, just down leg.
Thought? suggestions?
784 cc's in the cylinder
75 cc's in an AFR 1036 Street head (195/75)
0 cc's in the piston deck (zero deck = 9.005")
3.4 cc's in the piston eyebrows
9.1 cc's in the Fel-Pro 1003 head gasket
Total ingested 871.5 cc's
Total squeezed into 87.5 cc's
Divide the larger by the smaller and find 9.96:1 static compression ratio.
Generally speaking, this will require a camshaft with 0.050" duration of 222 to 232. There are of course, exceptions. I'm just trying to get you in the ballpark. A cam in the shorter range would like a looser converter in the range of 2200/2500 rpm's. A longer cam in the 230+ range might work better with a looser converter, somewhere in the 2800/3000+ range.
The longer the cam, the more you will need shorter gears in the differential. You will also need to completely re-program your ignition curve. The more cam you use, the more spark ignition lead you need to dial in at the crank. This, of course, requires shortening the mechanical advance to limit total initial/mechanical advance.
The idea here is to begin to get a blueprint for the build, a plan that will work to accomplish what you want to do with the motor/vehicle. When you are getting in the ballpark, then it's time to lean on the professionals. Call up your favorite cam grinder and ask for a grind recommendation. This is a free service because the manufacturer has a lot to lose if you choose the wrong cam and begin bad-mouthing their product. Same with the torque converter. Call up the manufacturers of your choice when you get close to ordering up parts. Have all the specs in front of you so that the professional on the other end of the phone can make an intelligent recommendation.

The "-3.4cc dome" means that there is no dome on the piston because of the minus sign, and it is either 3.4cc volume to the valve reliefs, or the relief volume and a small dish in the top of the piston, a dome would be a plus sign, at least in TRW speak. Not your fault to wonder, seems different companies do it as a "+" in their equations, wish they would all use the same standard for comparison.
In the case of the L2491F is a 2-valve relief flat top piston, no dish. Pretty decent piston, reasonably light and tough. Makes the 10.76 compression ratio as listed with a 64cc head and piston .025" below deck. Makes 11.15 at zero deck
Techinpsector laid out the math for th 75cc head and this piston in his post.
I will be running a manual Trans. so no torque converter to get in the way, what is the deciding factor in between
With a set of 74cc heads and a zero deck using copper head gaskets (4.060/.032) that will bring me in at about 10.31 on the static compression maybe, is it ok to go over the 10.0:1 and not go over 10.5:1? I had found these heads that I may be able to get a little cheaper but like I said they are 74cc..........or would it be better to hold off and get a set that is 64cc? and not have the block zero decked?
Also I was looking to use a cam around the 232 duration range @ .050, maybe just a hair higher but not much.
Any experience with the quick fuel carbs?
Thanks again for your replies guys, its much appreciated
OK, maybe I should have ask,
What would be a good set of heads to use for my build?
In my opinion, you're just asking for trouble with your obsession of 10+ on the static compression ratio. Where did you get the idea that you need that much on the street? Seriously, back off and build a motor that is between 9.0 and 9.9 that will operate on pump gas without detonation. In my opinion, you've started off with the wrong pistons anyway. Should have been 18cc D-cups. They would make 9.7:1 with a 64cc head.
I don't know what the OEM's use, but generally speaking, the boost is not that high on an OEM application, so composition gaskets would work.
Last edited by techinspector1; 07-26-2010 at 01:02 AM.
If you were to use copper head gaskets, the advantages are good heat transfer and that the gaskets are reusable as long as they're not crimped. They're available in almost any thickness. They seal high compression/nitrous/boosted engines well.
What they don't do particularly well is seal coolant. That's why it's always recommended that a sealant be used. Some makers of Cu head gaskets even tell you to be ready w/your favorite flavor of stop-leak if the engine uses coolant.
But all that said, I would rather use a good composite or MLS set than copper. This was after doing a fair amount of research on the subject before settling on composite gaskets for my own use.

The compression height on these pistons are what is throwing me off. Most 383 pistons have a CH of 1.425 as to where these have a 1.430CH, so when I figure out the total stroke
Stroke: 3.75 divided x 2= 1.875"
Rod: 5.70"
and a stock 350's deck is 9.025"
Im in the hole .020"
I found this felpro gasket http://www.jegs.com/i/Fel%20Pro/375/...0002/-1?CT=999 which is .015" thick
by using these my quench will sit at .035" and with the use of 74cc heads my compression will be 10.24:1
I have read people using 10.75:1 on pump gas without detonation or any other ill side affects.
I think those pistons are just fine, I've used them before, good piston for the $. Your plan with the 74cc head and .015"" gasket is great, with aluminum heads it will easily be fine on pump gas with 10.25-1 compression, you have excellent quench.
We run this same pistom combo with same quench but RHS/PROTopline Iron Lightning 65cc heads in a drag car 11.2-1 comp but on 108 race fuel(we spray it too), it will run fine on about 95 octane mix when street driven a distance, we could even back the timing off a little and use 93 if needed.
Don't go too small with the cam, don't close the intake valve too early.
This is one of the cam's I have ben thinking about using http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-08-443-8/
I'm utilizing my blocks ability to use a factory roller cam
You should probably get your block zero decked as these blocks drop down some in the area below the center exhaust ports. Use a .039-.041" Felpro performance head gasket. This will give you a perfect quench/squish.
I have been looking around for a set of heads, like I had stated I found a older pair of AFR's that are 74cc and have 195cc runners. I haven't made up my mind on them yet as I also have been looking at a set of the Pro-filers which I believe ericnova72 knows a little about, I was doing some research on them and many people had really good things to say about the company and who they are as people which in my opinion speaks volumes louder than what a magazine could print! I contacted them last night about there heads and wanted to know if they offer a set in or around 75cc as there sight only showed them in the 64cc. I got a message back today saying that they do carry a set of "72cc" heads which I'm hoping to get a little more info on.
I do have one question though, if I run the cam that I previously posted a link too, a cam with that much lift, what would be a good set a valve springs to run? Like I said I dont have a full set of details about the pro-filer heads yet but dont want to order a assembled set when I will be unable to use the valve springs, maybe get them bare and add to my likings.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Downmat UL vs Synmat UL
Dec 26, 2012 at 9:46 am #1297371
Downmat UL – 5.9 R value
Small, 64×20, 16.7oz
Synmat UL – 3.1 R value
Small, 64×20, 15.2oz
Seems to me to be a no brainer. 2.8 R value for 1.5 oz.
Is there something I'm failing to consider? How do their packed sizes compare?
Why would I choose the Synmat over the Downmat? Moisture gets trapped in the down?
Has anyone had experience with the Downmat UL XS (47×20) and a CCF piece beneath your feet?
Thanks :)Dec 26, 2012 at 10:05 am #1938294

@randalmartinLocale: Colorado
If you use the Schnozzel then there is really zero advantage to the Synmat other than weight in which case the huge improvement in R value makes the Downmat a no brainer IMO. The Schnozzel prevents moisture from corrupting the Down over time (despite it's treatment).Dec 26, 2012 at 10:07 am #1938295

@flutingaroundLocale: Rocky Mtn. West
I didn't realized the two were so close in weight. I bought a Synmat earlier this year, and now I want a downmat for winter camping.
Maybe I should sell my synmat!Dec 26, 2012 at 10:10 am #1938297
I was wondering if it'd be possible to modify the schnozzel bag by cutting it in half and making a new roll top closure. It would be a size more suited to serving as just a sleeping bag drybag and be roughly half the weight.
I also considered the pillow pump, but it's just SO heavy. :PDec 26, 2012 at 10:36 am #1938304
I think you have a typo.
The Exped site says the Downmat UL Small is 18.7oz, not 16.7oz.
Still at 18.7oz the Downmat is a no-brainer for fall, winter and spring camping.Dec 26, 2012 at 10:39 am #1938306
this is where I got the 16.7oz weight.
"[XS] 14.8 oz,
1 lb 0.7 oz, [M] 1 lb 4.5 oz, [LW] 1 lb 10.5 oz"Dec 26, 2012 at 10:41 am #1938307

I have a Synmat UL for 3 season use, but I prefer the thicker and more durable non-UL Downmat for winter because it's usually the only insulation underneath me. Below 0F at night, I add a CCF pad too, both for extra warmth and insurance against a failed inflatable.Dec 26, 2012 at 10:48 am #1938311
I'm planning to cut a piece of GG 1/8" pad to the length of the Downmat UL.
I'm thinking about using some velcro tape to keep the pad under the Downmat to protect it from the ground.
The 1/8" pad gives my pack a bit of structure, so its purpose is "dual use" – giving my pad more durability as well.Dec 26, 2012 at 11:03 am #1938315

The Snozzle might be able to double as a pack liner. Its about the right size.
BTW: I got a Medium Downmat UL7 for Christmas and will be trying it out this weekend. It is 19.75oz for the mat and 2.10 for the Snozzle. Two inflations of the snozzle blow the mat up fwiw.Dec 26, 2012 at 12:30 pm #1938344

I use the Schnozzle as a stuff sack / dry bag for my sleeping bag and down sweater. Works fine.Dec 26, 2012 at 12:37 pm #1938347

The pump bag is a must. I just used the SynMat UL and pumpbag combo over the Christmas weekend backpacking in west Texas where it got down to about freezing one night. I definitely can say the pad is pretty warm. But yeah the down mat would obviously be better (now if only I could find a long-wide downmat UL used for the same deal as my synmat UL). But the pumpbag inflates the mat to firm in two bags worth of air. I top it off with 2 breaths just to get it firmer for my heavy @ss (I figure the moisture from two breaths isn't that bad).
As far as stuff sacks go the Schnozzle is nice. I actually only put a few bit of clothing into it and just roll roll roll, squeeze out the extra air until it's all vacuum sealed, and close the schnozzle. It'll stay reasonably well vacuumed for about 36 hours and makes wedging clothes into crannies in my pack very easy while guaranteeing they'll stay dry if I take a dunking or get rained on.Dec 28, 2012 at 10:45 am #1938815

Tech Firms Push EU on Web Curbs
A triumvirate of powerful U.S. tech companies, in an unusual partnership, sent a representative to Brussels this week to lobby the EU to help fight governments that block their services.
In 2008, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo co-founded the Global Network Initiative, aimed at rallying Western governments against the practice. Based in Washington, it also has Human Rights Watch, the University of California-Berkeley, and other research institutes and think tanks as members.
Susan Morgan, GNI's executive director, came to Brussels to meet with European parliamentarians and Commission officials. GNI's "genesis was U.S. companies facing specific issues in China" but its role has since expanded, Ms. Morgan said.

I am on birth control pills but my pimples still keep appearing. I want to try using Retin-A since when I used it before (without the pills), it worked on me really good. But, now it's back, so I want to know if the birth control pills loses its effectiveness if I use both pills and Retin-A?
Does Using Retin-A Reduce the Effectiveness of Birth Control Pills?
Doctor Answers 2
Retin-A does not interfere with birth control pills at all
I think you are confusing the issue of birth control pills and oral antibiotics.
There would be no theoretical risk that a topical Vitamin A product would have any effect on oral administered birth control pills.
As far as birth control pills and oral antibiotics, we have a situation in which their is a theoretical risk. Some people, mostly trial lawyers, maintain that antibiotics can displace the estrogen from its carrier protein thereby lessening the potency of "the pill". Secondly, by decreasing the transit time of ingested material, less oral contraceptive is absorbed. Also, by killing the normal flora in the gut there is less of what we call the intrahepatic circulation ( this is the means in which the bacteria break some molecules down which are delivered to the liver and recirculated).
None of this has been proven out in the literature. Both dermatologists and gynecologists are in general agreement that antibiotics do not inactivate birth control pills. However, since package inserts state that there MAY be an interaction, a prudent physician, fearing the wrath of the legal profession, will dutifully warn patients about this potential interaction.
No such warning is needed in regards to Retin A

Easter has always been one of my absolute favorite holidays. I just can't hide my love for chicks, bunnies, candy, egg hunts, and baskets full of fun. It also doesn't hurt that Easter is always right around my birthday (this year it's only 2 days before my 25th). Ever since I can remember I have adored this holiday, and so does the rest of my family. We go all out with each others Easter baskets but lets face it, a candy only basket can get a little boring which is where EOS, or Evolution of Smooth, products come into the picture.
You all know of my deep love and affection for all things lip balm and EOS lips balms are definitely on my list of favorites. Their colorful packaging, safe and natural ingredients, and delicious flavors make them the perfect Easter basket stuffers! They even look like little colorful eggs, which couldn't be any more perfect. Let me say though, EOS Lip Balms make appropriate gifts all year round and I use mine constantly.
Evolution of Smooth offers their Lip Sphere in 6 mouth-watering flavors like Sweet Mint, Summer Fruit, Strawberry Sorbet, Medicated Tangerine, Honeysuckle Honeydew, and Lemon Drop SPF 15. Not only are they totally yummy, they are also 100% natural, hydrating, and gluten-free. Their luxuoriously smooth recipe includes olive oil, beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter, sunflower oil, blueberry and peach fruit extracts, and more healthy ingredients. They are Certified Organic and don't have any scary parabens, phthalates, or petrolatum.
I have tried all six flavors and choosing a favorite is just way too difficult! I love them all in different ways! I would say though that I have been reaching for the Medicated Tangerine the most lately because my lips have been very irritated. I didn't really like the initial smell or flavor of the Tangerine but I love the way it feels once applied to my lips. The flavor goes away quickly and leaves my lips feeling cool and so much better. I really love the smell and taste of the Strawberry Sorbet, it's so sweet and candy-like. I also really love the Summer Fruit, Sweet Mint, and Honeysuckle Honeydew. I like the Lemon Drop too but it's not my favorite (which is funny because I normally gravitate towards lemon scented products) although I think it will come in handy during the summer since it has SPF.
All six varieties leave lips feeling soft and hydrated. They apply evenly and go on extremely smoothly. They provide lips with much needed moisture and are very affordable and easy to find. These Lip Spheres are also really easy to find in your handbag (losing lip balm in bags happens to other people too, right?) because of their large size and unique shape.
To learn more you can visit EOS online or you can find a retailer near you by using the locator feature.

text: I walked with a friend last weekend. We've been trying to walk once every weekend--2-3 miles, in the name of exercise and staying in shape (or getting in shape, as the case may be). I was feeling low and overwhelmed last weekend, and almost didn't go. But one of the perks of our weekly walks is that we get the chance to talk, she and I, mom to mom, woman to woman, about many different things. I need the mental unburdening in some ways, more than I need the physical exercise. But last weekend was her turn to unburden herself to me and I listened, but inside I felt a swelling up of negative emotion, because I didn't have any room inside to help her with her problems. She has a toddler, with toddler issues. She's tired, and life is strained. I wish I had a toddler with toddler issues, I thought to myself, meanly and selfishly. Sorry, Friend B. A few days ago, after class, a student--a good, quiet, studious kid--came up to me with a documented excuse for his absence the other day. He'd been in court, up on serious charges. His shoulders sagged under the weight of the official note. "What happened?" I asked him. Tears sprang to the corners of his eyes. He'd gotten mixed up with the wrong crowd, he explained, and now he had to carry the weight of that poor choice for--perhaps--the rest of his life. I wanted to help him feel better, somehow, but I felt a part of me close off. I can't help him with this burden, I thought to myself. He'll have to sort it out on his own. Sorry, Student T. Yesterday, a friend called me to talk about a problem and I didn't have anything to offer. "You always have such good advice!" she chastised me gently. "Always something good to say." I made apologetic sounds and quickly got off the phone. Sorry, S. I didn't have any advice for her. I usually like having the answers, giving the advice, being the shoulder to lean on, fixing things, but lately I've been spread too thin, and I'm sorry to all those who have brushed up against that edge of mine this week. I've been feeling protective and selfish of my time, my family, our problems. It's not a nice place to be, but it's where I am now. And I think that's okay, because it's where I have to be. We've all been there at one time or other, haven't we?

Former Gainesville fossil dealer sentenced
A New York federal judge has sentenced a former Gainesville fossils dealer to three months in prison for smuggling a 70-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus skeleton out of Mongolia.
Eric Prokopi also must serve three months community confinement.
Prokopi formerly lived in Gainesville, Florida, and now resides in Williamsburg, Virginia. The government says he smuggled bones from the Gobi Desert into the U.S. and then assembled them.
A prosecutor said Tuesday that Prokopi provided substantial support to investigators, helping them recover at least 18 fossils. The Probation Department had recommended he serve more than two years in prison.
The dinosaur skeleton was sold by Dallas-based Heritage Auctions for more than $1 million. The government said the skeleton was mislabeled as reptile bones from Great Britain. The sale was suspended and the skeleton returned to Mongolia.

Centrifuging rotary vacuum filter mud at Tully Mill
Plaza, Floren, Booth, Andrew, Xing, Jeff, & Kent, Geoff (2011) Centrifuging rotary vacuum filter mud at Tully Mill. In Bruce, Robin (Ed.) Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technologists. Proceedings, Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technologists (ASSCT), Mackay.

Disposal of mud and ash, particularly in wet weather conditions, is a significant expense for mills. This paper reports on one part of a process to pelletise mud and ash, aimed at making mud and ash more attractive to growers across entire mill districts. The full process is described in a separate paper. The part described in this paper involves re-constituting mud cake from the filter station at Tully Mill and processing it in a decanter centrifuge. The material produced by re-constituting and centrifuging is drier and made up of separate particles. The material needs to mix easily with boiler ash, and the mixture needs to be fed easily into a flue gas drier to be dried to low moisture. The results achieved with the particular characteristics of Tully Mill rotary vacuum filter cake are presented. It was found that an internal rotor with a 20º beach was not adequate to process re-constituted rotary vacuum filter mud. A rotor with a 10º beach worked much more successfully. A total of four tonnes of centrifuged mud with a moisture content ranging from 60% to 65% was produced. It was found that the torque, flocculant rate and dose rate had a statistically significant effect on the moisture content. Feed rate did not have a noticeable impact on the moisture content by itself but torque had a much larger impact on the moisture content at the low feed rate than at the high feed rate. These results indicated that the moisture content of the mud can most likely be reduced with low feed rate, low flocculant rate, high dose rate and high torque. One issue that is believed to affect the operation of a decanter centrifuge was the large quantity of long bagasse fibres in the rotary vacuum filter mud. It is likely that the long fibres limited the throughput of the centrifuge and the moisture achieved.

You don't have to be a homeschooling parent to teach your child lessons about school subjects. Every day activities offer endless opportunity to enrich your child's learning away from school. My son loves to pretend and if we pretend to be someone else I can get him to do most anything. One of my favorite lessons are math lessons done while he pretends to be my sous chef as I prep dinner.
Here are some of the math skills he can learn :
1. Sorting. In the picture above he was sorting the spinach by size. Another time I handed up mixed veggies ( you know the frozen ones) and had him sort them by type so I had piles of just carrots, peas, corn and green beans. Color, size, food ... it's got no limit.
2. Measuring. Learning about standard measurement and how a cup of water will always be the same amount is a big milestone for children. I have found no better way ot teaching this than cooking.
3. Number recognition. You can see he is using a measuring cup to hold the spinach before he sorts it. This is because as he works I'd as " How much is left now?" and he's look down at the markings and tell me the number. We have done similar activities with adding mushed banana to pancake batter, and cream to quiche. With liquids we use measuring spoons for an added layer of measurement and it's also easier to clean up a spill from a table spoon.
4. Cooperation. Preschoolers often learn about sharing and cooperation from the perspective of giving something to someone who wants it next, like a toy or a turn with something like the slide on the playground, but they aren't given as many opportunities to work as a team. Having that chance to work as a team with their parents ( or other adult caregivers) is important .

Most eBusiness executives wouldn't dream of putting comparisons of their products with those of their competitors on their own sites. But it's time to start dreaming. If the number of customers visiting comparison sites continues to grow, we will eventually reach the point where the majority of customers use them. It will make sense for some companies to offer comparisons long before that point is reached.
Since a couple of weeks, Dutch online insurer AllSecure — which is the online brand of Allianz — provides site visitors access to price comparison site premie.nl directly from its site. After filling in the license plate of the car that they want to insure, the site automatically pulls required car information like car brand, type, age, and price. Based on this information — and some personal data that the user needs to enter— he receives a personal quote that can be customized. Next to the quote, a box with a link to price comparison site premie.nl is presented.
Once the user clicks on the link, the personal data and car information is automatically used for a comparison query on premie.nl. A new browser window is opened that shows how AllSecur compares to four other providers.
AllSecure's initiative clearly makes sense: If online buyers use a comparison site as part of their research process anyway, why not offer them access to it directly on the provider's site? By providing a "one-stop-shop" experience, the firm can limit the chance that the buyer will go to a comparison site directly and eventually buys somewhere else.

In mid-February, Augie Ray will be leaving Forrester to lead the social media efforts at a Fortune 500 company. I'm going to miss working directly with Augie. But at the same time, I understand why he's taking this new role. The analyst job boils down to two amazing responsibilities: 1) Do courageous research; and 2) Apply your research to help a client. Every so often, while doing the latter, an analyst decides it's time to move back to the practitioner world. I wish Augie the very best (i.e., thousands of positive customer reviews) as he creates and implements the social strategy for his new company.

We have stayed in 3 parks in Montana and looked at about 10 more and this is the nicest for the money. Sites are really long with no shade, but trees have been planted. There is plenty of room between sites with nice views of the mountains. The restaurant in front of the park is excellent. We only stayed 1 night, but wish we could have stayed longer. Ennis is really a cute town!

Elfridges at Selfridges
Need help when it comes to gift-buying? Selfridges has the answer: the 'Elfridge', your very own festive personal shopper. Katie Dailey gives her assistant a tricky test-run. Photography Rob Greig
Does the thought of festive shopping fill you with enough dread to prompt a midnight visit from the ghosts of past, present and future? Be not afeared, Selfridges is on hand with a delightfully silly service to help you face the season's retail challenges: an army of 'Elfridges'. That is, personal shoppers in jolly velvet get-ups who escort you round the shop, choose your prezzies, carry your coat while you browse and generally make you feel like you're really something. We tested their gift of giving with a tough family wishlist.
I warn in advance that he has every piece of Le Creuset in le range, and too many cookbooks spoil the broth. We head to the capacious kitchenware department, and my Elfridge suggests a complicated Spherification Kit by El Bulli (£89.95). I dismiss it as a use-once-then-store-next-to-the-breadmaker utensil. But then I U-turn by choosing a micro blowtorch for burning crème br˚lées, £29.95. 'Not one for children!' My Elfridge adds, perhaps unnecessarily.
ON BRIEF? Yes, but a little bit gimmicky: 7/10
AFFORDABLE? The blowtorch definitely is: 9/10
Selfridges sells just about everything, but strangely doesn't have a haberdashery department. A shame, as they can be handy when it comes to maternal gifting. Instead, my Elfridge ushers me to the book department, where we pick out a cute set that combines a nicely designed sewing book with making patterns for £20. It's cheap too, so I can throw in a lipstick or two.
ON BRIEF? It's perfect: 10/10
AFFORDABLE? Yes, very: 9/10
The 'no-plastic' people's kids
The offspring of snobby parents are impossible to buy for - the usual posse of alarmingly proportioned dolls won't work, and luxury clothing in fun sizes won't wash - or last. My Elfridge finds me some very cool T-shirts with a chalkboard panel and set of chalk, £19.99. The temptation to draw something rude on them is hard to resist, though.
ON BRIEF? Yep, great idea: 8/10
AFFORDABLE? I'd happily pay this: 10/10
The iHusband
When challenged with a present idea for a media-loving punter, my Elfridge comes up with the not quite devastatingly original suggestion of a DVD from the in-house HMV. We enlist help from a male Elfridge - or a Melf as he sportingly allows me to call him - who tracks me down some very slick headphones from Bang & Olufsen, £50, which look far more expensive than they are.
ON BRIEF? This one revealed a bit of a chink in the Elfridge's armour. Or rather, velvet. It took
a Melf to get inside a gadgety head: 5/10
AFFORDABLE? It's hard to get good gadgetry on the cheap, but we found a great-value buy: 9/10
Hipster sister
Buying for a young lady was never going to be an issue in Selfridges - there's a vast beauty hall, and an affordable teen department with accessible labels like Monki and Topshop. Navigating it can be a faff, though, so my Elfridge charges straight to the Tatty Devine pop-up, where you can get a personalised name necklace made for under £30, in less than 20 minutes. Or perhaps something age-appropriate, like 'Team Jacob' or 'meow meow'.
ON BRIEF? It's difficult to please a teen but this might do it: 6/10
AFFORDABLE? A bespoke buy for £28: 10/10
THE VERDICT: A fun, free and easy way to do your Christmas shopping in one elf swoop. While an Elfridge is really just a personal shopper in a festive outfit, it's a generous service - you get at least an hour of one-to-one Elfridge time, and you're not obliged to buy any of their suggestions.
I could probably have found all of these gifts myself, but the less seasoned seasonal shopper might struggle with the sheer scale of department-store purchasing. So as far as customer services go, Selfridges have pulled off a cracker.
Book in advance at www.selfridges.com, or visit the Elfridges counter at the Wonder Room, Selfridges, 400 Oxford St, W1C 1JS.

So sure, it'll hit PvP harder than pve, but it is still a nerf in both cases
No where did I claim anything else, all I responded to was a guy claiming that PvP power and Spell power was the same thing, which it isn't in terms of scaling and especially changes like this.

Among the tech companies that didn't make the list this year:
- Apple, which had been ranked from 2009 through 2011 and has a seven-year average ranking is 11.3
- Google, which last made the list in 2011 with a ranking of 19 and has an overall average ranking is 13.0
- Facebook, which made the list just once in 2009 and has an average ranking of 15.0
- Yahoo, which appeared on the lists from 2006 through 2010 and has an average ranking of 10.3
- Dell, which made the list every year from 2006 through 2010 and has a seven-year average ranking of 14.2
Rankings aside, the survey results reveal that Americans have become increasingly concerned about their privacy: 78 percent deemed their personal information important, up from 70 percent in 2006. What's more, just 35 percent said they had control over their personal information, down from 55 percent in 2005. Respondents ranked identity theft as the most significant privacy-related threat, followed by government surveillance and notice of data breaches.
Nearly 60 percent of respondents blamed disruptive technologies such as social media, smart mobile devices, and geotracking tools for diminishing or undermining their privacy rights.
Notably, whereas most respondents claimed that protecting their privacy information was important, 63 percent admitted to sharing their sensitive personal information -- such as Social Security number, credit card details, or passwords -- with an organization they did not know or trust. Sixty percent of those individuals said they did so solely for convenience, such as when making a purchase.

Mayhem # 24556
About Me
Hey All,
Currently in Prague [that's in the Czech Republic ]off and on. Travel all parts of CA. SF/SJ/SD/OC and of course... LA.
Professional working photographer living in the Los Angeles area.
Mainly shoot fashion, celebrity portraiture, and fashion lifestyle.
Looking for models for stock photography projects. This will be for pay. Not looking to update my portfolio. Trade outs possible for right model and project.
All of my photos on here were shot on FILM not digital. I shoot Medium Format 6X7 and Large Format 4X5. I use little to no Photoshop, and it's all lighting, gels, filters and printing. I print all of my own work in a lab and not from a computer printer.
I feel that digital is good for some things. I have worked on high end digital cameras with over 22 mega pixels at a cost of 20, 000. And I still feel that film is the best medium to shoot fashion and people.
But I do have a Canon 5D that I use for more commercial projects.
Hit me up if this interests you in any way.

Biomolecule Dynamics and Interactions Probed by Fluorescence
The three-dimensional structures and dynamics of proteins and other biomolecules play a central role in determining their unique functions in living organisms and their specific interactions with other molecules. One major challenge of life science is to grasp how a given sequence of amino acid residues gives rise to the native structure and function. We have developed a probe of the conformational dynamics of unsolvated proteins and peptides that is based on modulation of the fluorescence of a covalently attached dye through intramolecular quenching by tryptophan (Trp) or other residues. These gas-phase measurements are used in combination with solution measurements and theoretical calculations to advance our understanding of how the solvent environment affects the behavior of biomolecules and non-covalent complexes.
For the gas-phase experiments, intact, unsolvated biomolecule ions are formed by electrospray ionization (ESI) and transferred into a radio-frequency Paul trap. A particular ion of interest is isolated by ejecting the unwanted ions which occur at lower or higher mass-to-charge ratios from the trap.
The ions under study are then thermalized by collisions with a helium buffer gas. Laser-induced fluorescence is excited by 532 nm light from a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser, isolated by bandpass filters, and detected by gallium arsenide photomultipliers.
The excitation and detection optics have been configured to reduce background noise from scattering to nearly zero. Fluorescence with a signal-to-noise ratio of ~ 400 is routinely measured from ~200 ions in a small volume of the trapped ion cloud (~2x10-5 cm3).
This methodology has been applied to Trp-cage, a miniprotein which is fully structured in aqueous solution at low temperatures.1 The fluorescence of Trp-cage 3+ ions is constant between 303 and 363 K and decreases by ~75% between 363 and 438 K.2 The decrease in fluorescence with increasing temperature is consistent with a conformational change which results in more quenching interactions between the Trp side chain and the fluorescent dye.
The associated enthalpy change for this ion is 51% higher than that in solution,3 most likely a consequence of increased intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the absence of solvent. Hydrogen bond donors and acceptors which are solvated by water molecules in solution can form new intramolecular hydrogen bonds upon desolvation.
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations indicate a decrease in the number of hydrogen bonds with increasing temperature which agrees well with the experimentally derived change in enthalpy.
A salt bridge between lysine, aspartic acid, and arginine (+ - +) is important for Trp-cage stability in solution, however, replacing negatively charged aspartic acid with uncharged asparagine (D9N mutation) does not significantly change the unfolding enthalpy in gas phase. This indicates that the salt bridge is not a major contributor to the conformational stability of these unsolvated ions.4
Measurements5 have also been made of small (≤12 residues) poly(Pro) and poly(Gly-Ser) peptides to isolate the effects of chain length, amino acid composition, and charge on the measured fluorescence. For the 2+ ions, the longer peptides, Pro10 and (GlySer)5, emit higher intensity fluorescence than the corresponding shorter peptides, Pro4 and (GlySer)2, at all temperatures studied. This suggests dynamics which are dominated by Coulomb repulsion between the two positive charges. For singly charged ions, in which Coulomb repulsion is absent, the dynamics appear to be characterized by the backbone flexibility, i.e., poly(Pro) is less flexible than poly(Gly-Ser). MD simulations in progress will provide more detailed information on the polypeptide dynamics which lead to the differences in measured fluorescence.
Ongoing projects aim to use these methods to investigate secondary structure formation and the dynamic interactions between the components of non-covalent complexes formed between peptides and other molecules of biological and/or therapeutic importance.

Echoes from the Holocaust: Philosophical Reflections on a Dark Time
€ 66,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juni 1988
BeschreibungA collection of twenty-three essays, this book focuses on the profound issues and philosophical significance of the Holocaust. The essays, written for general as well as professional readers, convey a range of factual information and philosophical reflection in seeking to identify the haunting meanings of the Holocaust.
Pressestimmen"The Nazis tried to exterminate a community famed for rational reflection. Here 23 authors reflect on that event, with an outcome that is chilling but also stirring for those who think that the greatest of human achievements is the ability to stay rational. Everyone who cares about humanity should read some of these essays." --Library Journal "This is a profound and eloquent collection. The essays, both individually and cumulatively, provide impressive, penetrating insights that are of very great help in the continuing and mandatory task of coming to intellectual and emotional grips with the unspeakable tragedy of the Holocaust." --Alan Gewirtb, University of Chicago "A wonderfully informative and also a very moving book, which helps one to understand much better than before the appalling events whose causes it probes. Anyone interested in human beings should read it. For moral philosophers it is a 'must.'" --Philippa Foot, UCLA "This is a book to jolt our consciences and stir our minds. This volume provides us with a unique opportunity to share the carefully reasoned insights and thought-provoking reflections of scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, but with professional philosophers for once strongly represented." --Joel Colton, Duke University

After a hit number "Bachana" Bilal Khan is back with his new video TAQDEER
Bilal Khan Says:
"Taqdeer" is a song I wrote when I moved to Islamabad after finishing college for my first job. Alone in a new city on my own, with no home, no money but a lot of freedom. This song is about the transition from a boy to a man for me. It is about being fearless about the future and trusting your destiny. It is about the… hope that things will work out even if you don't own much today. And more importantly it is about striving to be happy on this journey called "life".
