Washington, DC - A new Ipsos poll conducted behalf of Stanford University and Reuters explores American public opinion on the environment and global warming. A summary of key findings are listed below and the full report is available for download on the right.
Global warming has been a central focus in the recent Republican presidential primary debates. What do the American people actually think on the issue?
Our survey shows that more Americans today believe that global warming is occurring compared to just a year ago. However, at the same time, the skeptics have become more certain in their beliefs that global warming is not happening.

Labels: email marketing , email marketing services , responsive email
Approximately 50 per cent of the people read their emails on mobile devices today. But, unfortunately, their viewing experience is compromised and is rather unsatisfactory. This is because most emails are usually designed for best viewing experience on a laptop or desktop screen – both screens much larger than typical mobile screens.
The Importance of Responsive Email Design
An email that would appear to have a well designed lay out when viewed on a desktop, could appear miserable when viewed on a small screen display. As email designs are static and not responsive to the size of the display screen, the viewing experience is really disappointing. This is a huge turn off for mobile users, which now comprise a significant proportion of the email users.
The Importance of Responsive Email Design
In the current scenario, most mobile email clients are empowered to scale down the email size so that it fits the mobile device screens, but this does not automatically translate into a great viewer experience. Since the words in such scaled down versions are too small and almost impossible to read, users tend to ignore emails which appears to them as unimportant. As a result, many of the promotional emails from companies which might carry an attractive or sensible offer for the user are ignored.
So if you are running an e-commerce business or any other business that relies on email marketing campaigns or tries to promote itself through emails, you want to be sure that you do not miss 50 per cent of your target audience. And for this, you definitely need to go for a responsive email design. This will ensure that your users get an optimal viewing experience. Most importantly, this small effort can drastically help to improve the productivity of your marketing efforts and ensure a better ROI.
Tips for an Effective Responsive Email Design
A good responsive email design is the one that not only improves the viewing experience but is also able to motivate a user to take the action as desired by an email. Hence for responsive emails to be effective, they should adapt to the device display size.
To adapt your email message to smaller display screens, you need to optimize content. This may demand you to deploy techniques which allows the content to get automatically stacked, hidden or can be expanded/collapsed as desired. The fundamental principle behind responsive email design is to ensure that email content is easily consumed by the mobile user.
For instance, if the email that needs to be displayed on a mobile device is lengthy, it may not be possible to have the entire content visible on the screen. Hence it is essential that the email design should be such that the key content of the message is displayed first and it is followed by collapsible/expandable text blocks. The font size should be big enough, so that viewing experience is not impacted and any call to action button should be properly positioned and prominently noticeable. The subject line of the email has to be short, so as to ensure it is not cut off in a small screen.
As emails in many cases carry links to websites, it is also important that while you ensure a responsive email design, the website where a user is moving in response to the email also has a responsive design. If the website which the email leads to does not display the way it ideally should, it is likely that the user will drop off, thereby rendering the whole exercise fruitless. The experience of navigating and viewing the website also has to be a pleasant one.
The Challenges of Responsive Email Design
Designing a responsive email is a lot different from designing a responsive web page, primarily because there are no set standards. Besides, many email clients installed on mobiles are not able to predictably handle responsive emails. Hence it is recommended that extensive testing is done across devices to determine how your email design or layouts appear in mobiles that support responsive email designs and also in those which do not.

Question for the Atheist;
- 312 Replies
Isn't refusing your child to even own a bible pushing Atheism on your children? Do you give them the choice to explore Christianity or do not introduce them to anything but Atheism?
ETA: In the first line "I see a lot of you" instead of "I see all of you", for the technical touchy responders (;
Quoting Anonymous:
I am not an Athiest, I am really not anything. My children probably don't even know what a bible or God is, for I've just never spoken about any of it. If they received a bible they would probably toss it aside themselves.
I don't let them have other books that discuss rape, prostitution, infanticide and genocide, either.
I will take them to any church, temple, synagogue or mosque in which they express and interest.
Not an atheist, but if my child expressed an intrest in Christianity, or any religion, I won't keep that from my kids. But it has to be something they want, not something someone pushes on them (not saying that every time a bible is given to my kids religion is being pushed on them)

Face it, we all like pretty pictures. Nice even colors. Symmetry. No jagged lines. The beauty of a grassy hill. Well, this post is going to be all about pretty pictures.
Many parents come to me and ask, "How do I know if a treatment works? What proof do you have other than an anecdotal story?" This is where we can show them some of the information we have gathered using qEEG scans.
A qEEG is an EEG which is compared against a database of "normal" EEGs and a graph (pretty pictures) is made showing standard deviations from normal. A normal qEEG would be colored green. Those sections of the brain having too much activity would move towards red. Areas of under-activity would move towards blue. Areas of the brain that do not connect properly are graphed as lines. The thicker the line, the more severe the problem. Therefore, for this first blog all you need to know to be certified as an expert in QEEG interpretation is that GREEN IS GOOD – LINES ARE BAD!
The pictures you will see are drawn over the image of a head. As you look at each "head map", remember that you are looking down from above. Because the pictures are so small to see clearly, note that the little bump at the top of each picture is the nose and the bumps on the sides represent the ears. As you look at the pictures, you will see that there are five rows and five columns. The meaning of each of these rows and columns is something that we will discuss in more detail in future posts. For now, all you have to know is that a "Q" is looking for several different types of abnormalities in each of these five rows and five columns. These abnormalities will be represented by colors other than green and lines that are either red or blue.
Remember that green is good and lines are bad. Therefore, the qEEG shown below is that of a fairly "normal" brain. A peaceful picture.
The next picture is a common qEEG pattern seen in children with autism. The picture is filled with ragged reds and blasé blues. It is a picture filled with many angry red and blue lines.
I will, over several blog entries, show some qEEGs in a Before and After Format. To start, I will post a before and after picture of a child doing our 6 week "trial" of MB12. The left side of the picture is the "before" image and the right is the "after" image. This "Q" is of a child using our MB12 every 3 day protocol during which absolutely no other changes were allowed other than the addition of methyl-B12. Improvements were evident in the areas of language, cognition, and socialization. Notice the reduction of the reds and the greening of the blues. Finally look at the loss of the problematic lines.
Aaahhh, we all like pretty pictures, especially pictures of success stories. In the picture that follows, you will see a before picture that demonstrates the blank stare so many children on the autism spectrum share. We call this look "Autism Eyes". Then, for many kids, after they are treated for medical issues by the biomedical methods we use, we get a different look that we call "Autism Byes".
Hopefully these articles will let you see that biomed is not voodoo science but has actual reproducible scientific evidence of benefit. Stay tuned. More pretty pictures to come!

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac: Investors Flee
It's not often that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke plays second fiddle when he makes his twice-yearly trip to Capitol Hill to outline his current outlook on monetary policy and the economy.
But with all eyes on the extensive proposals put forth on July 13 by U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and the Fed to restore confidence in Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE), the struggling mortgage giants at the heart of the escalating credit crunch, much of the focus when the Senate Banking Committee met for Bernanke's testimony on July 15 came in the second act.
Bernanke testified for 90 minutes on everything from the risks facing the economy (he warned of "significant downside risks to the outlook for growth" even as the threat of inflation is growing) to his views on oil speculation (he doesn't think speculative activity or manipulation is a big cause of the recent runup in oil prices).
Stabilizing Move, or a Bailout?
The hearings then turned to the real heart of the matter: In a regulatory triple-play of sorts, Bernanke was joined at the Banking Committee hearings by Paulson and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox to argue for the package of recent proposals regulators have put forth to provide explicit Federal support to the troubled government sponsored enterprises (GSEs). (Fannie and Freddie are known as GSEs because of their unique status—while chartered by the Federal government to provide backing to the mortgage market, they're owned by public shareholders.)
At the core of those proposals, as outlined by Paulson, is a request that Congress grant Treasury a temporary increase in the credit line it can extend to the GSEs, as well as the ability to purchase equity in the firms should that prove necessary. The moves are designed to reassure bond and stock investors that Fannie and Freddie will have both the liquidity and the capital needed to weather the current crisis, key to getting the markets, and ultimately the economy, back on track. With the Treasury proposal in the works, the Fed also agreed to temporarily grant the GSEs access to the Fed's discount window, should they need emergency liquidity before Congress can authorize the Treasury moves. "The GSEs now touch 70% of new mortgages and represent the only functioning secondary mortgage market," Paulson told the senators. "The GSEs are central to the availability of housing finance, which will determine the pace at which we emerge from this housing correction."
But the proposals have already proven controversial. While backers hope the moves will end fears that losses on mortgage and mortgage-related securities will overwhelm the two critical firms—which together own or guarantee roughly half the mortgages in the U.S.—critics fear such action will open the door to a government-financed bailout that could ultimately cost U.S. taxpayers tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars. Critics also argue that regulators have been too quick to bail out Wall Street, a charge that Paulson, a former chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs (GS), tried to deflect. "Our plan is aimed at supporting the stability of financial markets, not just these two enterprises," he said.
Temporary Backup
The biggest concern is the open-ended nature of Paulson's request. Currently, the GSEs have a $2.25 billion line of credit with the Treasury, a sum that was established in 1971 when both firms were miniscule compared with today. Now Paulson has asked for an open-ended, unlimited authority from Congress to allow it to buy shares of or lend funds to the mortgage giants should they need funds. Despite repeated attempts by senators on the Banking Committee to pin him down to what the cost to taxpayers could be, Paulson declined to be specific. And he repeatedly insisted that the Treasury has no current plans to put any funds into either Fannie or Freddie.
"I see very clearly that the way to minimize the chance that this facility will ever be called upon will be to take any questions off the table and provide as much flexibility as possible," Paulson said. Instead, he argued, the very openness and flexibility of the proposal would go a long way toward restoring confidence in the GSEs, and thus make it less likely the government may ultimately need to plow any money into them.
"I'm not here recommending putting taxpayer money into these institutions at this time. I am recommending we increase the backup facility temporarily to minimize the chance that the taxpayer will be involved," he said. "If you have a squirt gun in your pocket, you may have to take it out," he said. "But if you've got a bazooka in your pocket, you may not have to take it out."
Addressing Naked Short-Selling
While Paulson's testimony was primarily devoted to explaining his proposals, Cox used the hearings to announce an emergency move aimed at further stabilizing the mortgage giants. The SEC chairman announced that the agency will limit the ability of traders to sell short the shares of the two GSEs, as well as brokerage firms including Lehman Brothers (LEH), Goldman Sachs (GS), Merrill Lynch (MER) and Morgan Stanley (MS). Critics have argued that excessive short-selling, in some cases fueled by rumors that traders know to be false, has driven the slide in shares of financial firms, including the defunct Bear Stearns.
While the SEC recently announced stepped up efforts to investigate those allegations (BusinessWeek.com, 7/16/08), Cox offered a more concrete measure at the congressional hearings. Traders will be forbidden from selling short the shares of those firms unless they actually hold the shares. The move effectively bans a practice known as naked short-selling, in which traders sell a company's shares without actually owning the underlying stock. Cox said such measures would go into effect for 30 days, and that the SEC is beginning to work on rules that will address the same issues for the broader market as well.
Neither agencies' proposals, however, appear to have reassured Fannie or Freddie investors. With equity holders likely to be hardest hit if any Federal bailout does emerge, shareholders have been fleeing the GSE stocks in droves for the last week. It was no different on July 15. Fannie shares fell 27%, while Freddie shares fell 26%, as investors concluded that even if the Fed actions rescue the agencies, shareholders will be left holding the bag.

Robbie Williams to headline Help for Heroes gig
Acts in talks to join Williams, 36, include Gary Barlow, Pixie Lott and JLS plus Kasabian, Stereophonics and more to be announced over the coming weeks. "This is something special for Help for Heroes," the Sun quoted a source as saying. "All the bands and acts involved feel incredibly strongly about raising money for the families of our Armed Forces who are left without their loved ones."
"The bands in particular have been keen to get involved and offer their support for such a great cause because they are the ones the soldiers listen to. As is always the case with these gigs, getting everyone in the same stadium on the same day is a logistical nightmare. It will be incredibly emotional. There will be some moving tributes to all the servicemen and women who lost their lives in action in Iraq and Afghanistan," the source added.

Race Driver 2
TOCA Race Driver 2 (PC/FullIso/Multi)
Game Platforme(s) : PC | Language : Multi (5) | Release Date : Apr 15, 2004
Publisher : Codemasters | Developer : Codemasters | Genre : Racing/Driving | Size : 4.4 Gb
When TOCA Race Driver 2: The Ultimate Racing Simulator, Codemasters' follow-up to its unique 2002 racer, Pro Race Driver, first debuted on the Xbox earlier this month, it proved to be an excellent addition to the system's racing lineup. It's not quite the ultimate racing simulator that it claims to be, but it's absolutely a game worth playing for any serious racing fan. Now TOCA 2 is available for the PC as well, and much like its Xbox counterpart, it provides an excellent variety of Race types, backed up with some solid driving mechanics and a deep and engaging career mode. Unfortunately, the PC version also suffers from a few graphical polish issues as well as some extremely irritating sound bugs, which ultimately mar the game's otherwise solid performance.
TOCA Race Driver 2 is all about variety. Rarely has there been a game that brings as many types of races to the table as this one does. You can choose from a bevy of different Race types and concordant cars, including stock cars, rallies, Super Trucks, street racing, Mustangs, Land Rovers, open-wheel racers, and so on. There are 15 different varieties of races in all, each of which is actually represented quite well, both visually and in gameplay. TOCA Race Driver 2 also features a huge roster of more than 50 different worldwide racetracks, ranging from the Texas Motor Speedway to Pikes Peak to Brands Hatch, and more. Every track is extremely well constructed, and serious Race fans should find each track immediately recognizable.
The racing mechanics in TOCA Race Driver 2 are primarily geared toward the more realistic ilk of racers. Each type of car handles uniquely and quite accurately. Slideouts usually happen when they should, and wrecking your car adversely affects your ability to Race in several different ways. Blowing a tire will obviously kill your ability to steer properly, and thrashing your gearbox affects your acceleration and speed quite a bit. Interestingly enough, TOCA 2 on the PC actually seems easier than the Xbox version, though only when using a gamepad. Controlling slideouts seems much easier to control, and concordantly, braking and using your emergency brake to slide around corners seems almost a bit too effective for some reason. The PC version of the game also features a driving mode that is even more simulation-based than the normal mode, and it is also significantly harder. This mode is especially geared toward players with driving wheel controllers, and for that expressed purpose, it works great, adding more challenge than you would get otherwise.
The only serious complaint about TOCA 2's gameplay stems from the game's physics model, which is a little unreliable in certain situations. Though wrecking into other cars is generally not advised, it's too easy to simply use other cars as padding when sliding around corners. Bumping into the side of an opposing car at the right angle simply prevents you from sliding out, and it usually lets you gain a number of spots in a Race pretty cheaply. Furthermore, crashes don't always seem to look or feel as they ought to. This is mainly an issue with bigger crashes, specifically in situations where you should be rolling your car or otherwise sustaining or inflicting a huge amount of damage--and sometimes it doesn't actually happen that way. These physics issues aren't a huge problem by any means, but they're definitely an annoyance. For the most part, the game's racing artificial intelligence is quite well done, and drivers are usually smart enough to avoid wrecks whenever possible. Occasionally you'll encounter a random dolt Driver who makes a boneheaded mistake on the track.
Anyone who played Pro Race Driver will remember its unique career mode, which focused on a young, passionate Driver named Ryan McKane. The game's method of storytelling gave you a much more unique and prominent look at the behind-the-scenes elements of racing. Though the story was a little on the ham-fisted side in certain spots, overall it did an excellent job of keeping you captivated. In TOCA Race Driver 2, the same method of career mode has been implemented, though with a completely different type of story. In the game, you play as a nameless rookie driver, who, quite literally, begins in a trial by fire. Upon starting the career mode, you begin midlap during a Race with your mechanic, Scotty, who is feeding you instructions on your controls. Once the Race is over, you are presented with the first of many first-person-perspective cutscenes. As the story progresses, you are approached by an attractive female agent who promises to help bring you to the top of the racing circuit, and much to Scotty's chagrin, you agree to let her help you. The story itself, like its predecessor, can be a bit cheesy at times, but for the most part the cutscenes are so well directed and well written that the few goofy moments become instantly forgivable.
Setup Instruction
1- Extract Rar File
2- Mount ISO file with DAEMON Tools (Or whatever)
3- Click "Setup.exe" to Instal the Game
4- Copy All Content "Crack" Folder to the Folder Game Directory
5- Play & Have Fun .................... Enjoy ;)

Hacker Writes Note to Microsoft in Zlob Trojan's Source Code
A hacker from Russia inserted a short message into a Trojan's source code. This Trojan is a variant of Win32/Zlob. The message was highlighted by a 'team' of researchers from France named malware Analysis & Diagnostic.
The team noted that the hacker wrote the message with astonishing cordiality, considering that Microsoft's security experts spend a lot of their time in thwarting the businesses of malicious code developers like those of the Zlob. The message said that it was only to say 'Hello' from the people of Russia. While describing the readers as truly good guys, it expressed surprise at Microsoft's capability to react to threats so quickly. The message finally ended with wishes for a Happy New Year and good luck.» SPAMfighter News - 22-01-2009

Pio Leyva
But while the revolution halted or terminated the careers of many Cuban musicians, Leyva continued his studio and stage career, appearing regularly on Cuban television while touring Spanish-speaking nations like Panama, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. In 1991, he even mounted a four-month trek through West Africa, and five years later contributed his "El Mentiroso" to Juan de Marcos' Afro-Cuban All Stars project. While Leyva did not participate on American guitarist Ry Cooder's 1997 Buena Vista Social Club LP, which introduced much of the English-speaking world to Cuban masters including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, and Omara Portuondo, he did appear prominently in Wim Wenders' Oscar-nominated 1999 documentary of the same name. Leyva also toured as part of the Live from Buena Vista showcase, a package organized by German promoters and unrelated to Cooder's original project (much to the dismay of some concertgoers expecting to witness the same musicians they discovered on record). The exposure nevertheless elevated Leyva's international profile, resulting in the release of collections including Soneros de Verdad Presents Pío Leiva and Esta Es Mi Rumba. The singer also remained in good stead with Wenders, and starred in the director's 2006 documentary The Sons of Buena Vista, a portrait of the next generation of Cuban soneros. Leyva did not live to see its worldwide release, however. He died of a heart attack in Havana on March 23, 2006, at the age of 88. ~ Jason Ankeny

The defensive line coach has come to expect that from his redshirt junior noseguard, who is the favorite to win the starting spot held by graduated 2005 senior Tommy Jackson.
However, some of the other Tigers receiving the thumbs up from the AU coach have not been regulars on Dunn's praise list.
"After looking at the film and grading it I was real happy," Dunn tells Inside the Auburn Tigers. "Of course, Josh had a real productive scrimmage. Pat Sims and Tez Doolittle probably had their most productive practice since they have been here."
Tez Doolittle is playing his best ball at AU although he isn't full speed yet due as he rehabs from a knee problem.
Doolittle, who will be a junior this fall, and Sims, who will be a sophomore, are talented athletes who have seen very little playing time at the college level. With Jackson and Wayne Dickens, the two inside starters from last year's team, being gone, this is a big opportunity for the Sims and Doolittle. So far with six of the 15 days of spring practice completed, the linemen are making a move for playing time.
"The thing we told them, which is what we told them in the team meeting and the individual meetings, is that they have got to be consistent," Dunn says. "They have to put good days back to back. They can't be hot and cold."
Pat Sims (95) is shown in a passing drill during the first week of spring practice.
Thompson challenged Jackson for the starting noseguard spot last season and looks like he will be tough to push off the top of the depth chart if he continues to perform like he did in the scrimmage.
"Josh played hard," Dunn says. "The thing we are looking for is production and he had a lot of production points. He played with great effort. He still has got to get better. His technique isn't where it needs to be, his punch isn't where it needs to be, but for the first scrimmage I was pretty pleased.
"Now, the offense was pretty base, but that is good because we need to get more physical and tougher overall," Dunn adds. "That is our goal."
Dunn also closely watched senior Christopher Browder, who is being tried at tackle this spring after playing end last season. That move inside has been a good one for players in recent years such as Spencer Johnson and Jay Ratliff, who are now playing in the NFL.
"Browder was not bad although he didn't play the position as well as I hoped," Dunn says. "You have got to realize that is the first time he played there in a live fire situation with tackling in a scrimmage. His effort wasn't what I wanted it to be, but that is something we can work on."
After taking Monday off, the Tigers are scheduled to return to work on Tuesday for their seventh of 15 allowed spring practice days.
The Tigers will scrimmage again on Saturday.

Confusion about Alternator wiring diagram
Hello everyone I'm new here, or as one would say "A Newbie"
I have read alot of threads and searched the "Knowledge Base" and could not find what I was looking for. I have a modified 1957 chevy and have owned it for 32 years. But since I did my frame off there are several loose ends I need to fix. I custom wired the car from my own experience and everything is fine except one thing, the charging circuit. I have a Delco12Si 94 amp alternator and it gets real hot to the touch after ideling for a few minutes, with nothing on except the car running. When I wired it up I put a resistor in the circuit from the ignition switch to the alternator. I have seen some diagrams with and without a resistor...which way do I go...with or without a resistor...Thanks George
The battery is in the trunk if that info is needed with a 1/0 wire running to the starter. (welders cable)
Great forum hope I can help out sometimes

You might want to check out this site:
Then go to tech drop down link. Look at Chevy Main Electrical Power Systems. It has some diagrams and other information.
It helped me out with some like problems. Pretty good site with some stuff I didn't know or considered.
I learn new stuff everyday.
Hope this helps and let us know how you make out.

The GM 10 and 12 SI series alternators need 10 Ohm 10 Watts of resistance in the circuit (the 12V switched exciter circuit, not sure what the technical name for it is). Without this, they go to a full charge state (like 37 Volts or something). Cars with out an idiot light will have a resistor or length of resistor wire, and in cars with an idiot light, the light bulb istself is the resistor.
That is one of the tricks in converting to the CS series alternators, the amount of resistance is way different.
The resistor I used is a ballast resistor for an ignition system.Do you think it is too much resistance for the alternator???
pappy 32,
Thanks for the web site I did spend a good part of yesterday looking at that site, and it does have a ton of information to look at..
thanks George
I'm not sure how much resistance a ballast resistor has...., but 10 Watt 10 Ohms is what it is supposed to be. Might just go to your local radio shack and tell 'em what you're looking for, they should be able to hook you up.
Re: Confusion about Alternator wiring diagram
The question I confused with is I have used a ignition ballast as a resisitor in the charging system instead of a "Idiot" light.
NOTE: "The ignition system is not even connected with this ballast resistor, totally seperate"
The question I confused with is I have used a ignition ballast as a resisitor in the charging system instead of a "Idiot" light.
NOTE: "The ignition system is not even connected with this ballast resistor, totally seperate issue."
The resisitor is .8 to 1.2 ohms will that work????
Next question should I use an "Amp" gauge or a "Volt" gauge ? Where does that wire into Thanks George

Go here and check out this info... http://www.softcom.net/users/acnss/i...oSI2wiring.jpg
I am not sure what the ignition resistor is rated at but your best bet would be to do as was suggested above and go to Radio Shack and pick up the right resistor.
That is the very same diagram that ended much confusion for me, and is currently how my car is wired up. I have an indicator light in place of the resistor. That's another story how the light actually works. I have a 130 Amp 12SI, and it gets pretty hot too....heat is a byproduct of the alternator making energy.
I'm still trying to figure out this choke relay thing on my car. Some relay that somehow controls the factory electric choke, and the idiot light/exciter circuit for the alternator all in the same circuit. The charge warning light in my car ('80 Trans Am) doubles as the "choke telltale". If anyone can explaing this riddle to me I'd be very gratefull.
I have spent eh last 4 hours running down the wires in the car and they go as follows:
Big red wire on alt goes to negative side of amp gauge, positive side of amp gauge goes to battery cable on solenoid......The amp gauge is wired into the charging circuit... is this correct...? from the drawings it is not...nothing should be in between the alt. and the battery cable leading to the battery....
The resistor is the other issue and I think a ignition ballast resistor is the wrong thing to use...I'm going to look into that today at radio shack.
Other than that "I'm a happy camper"
Being a show car I think I will crank it today and change the oil...
Thanks George.
The amp gauge is of no consequence. It is just an inline meter to show you how many amps you are using, if it is more than you are producing (bad), or less than you are producing (good). I prefer a voltmeter.
The ballast resisitor is most likely not introducing the correct amount of resistance. I have no clue what a ballast resistor is rated at ohms/watts wise, but more than likely not what is required.
If you are having doubts about what exactly your alternator is doing, just measure the output voltage of your alternator while your car is running (either at the battery, or the output lug of your alternator). Optimally, it should be 14.4....

This week's comment came from just last night. On my post comparing prayer to magical thinking Jeremy Forbing said…
Wow. For a new blogger on a site encouraging respectful dialogue between faiths and belief systems, you're really pissing the bed.
Do this for me, Jeremy. With the exception of my post condemning some other atheists who were being outright horrible people (that was the whole point of the post), go back through my posts as far as you'd like and try to find an instance where I used a personal attack on someone. Go on. You'll see plenty of me talking about how particular ideas suck and how they are beneath the people holding them, but it's actually pretty rare I go with an attack on an individual as if that will carry an argument. I'm not saying it's never ever happened, but I will say it's exceedingly rare. On the occasions when I do say someone is stupid or a monster, or anything similar, I always first make the case for why those things are so, and generally only do it to make a greater point.
But ideas are a different story. They're fair game.
Saying prayer doesn't work, that it's a waste of time, and that good arguments would be more effective than praying for me isn't a personal insult, you just don't like to hear it. Now, is it disrespectful to prayer and Christianity? Yes. Absolutely and without reservation. I have no respect for belief in god and all the accoutrements of the various faiths. There's an easy solution to this: convince me I'm wrong. Provide some evidence or reason why I should adopt the view that prayer works or that god exists. In short, engage in the dialogue you tell me you crave.
Demanding I be respectful towards ideas you've yet to defend is much easier than making an argument for them, but it's not how dialogue works. Without reasons or evidence for why I should adopt the view that prayer works, you've given me no real motivation to change and haven't even nudged me toward the conclusion that prayer actually deserves respect. It seems obvious to me, as obvious as gravity, that prayer is an entirely masturbatory gesture, and I'll at least pay you the respect of telling you precisely how I feel. If you want me to placate other believers by treating them like they're too fragile to stand in the presence of their beliefs being criticized, like they can't distinguish between disdain for an idea and degrading a person, that's fine, but let's not pretend like that's the same thing as respect. Hell, let's not pretend it isn't the exact opposite of respect.
So many believers want to portray everything they don't like to hear as a personal put down, often so they can play the victim card. This is sad because it hobbles the conversation about ideas by making some of them off limits. Take your comment, Jeremy. You offered up no argument for why prayer is somehow better than magical thinking. You didn't advance any evidence for your position. You just demanded I not say such things while using a hint to the supposed displeasure of my bosses here at Patheos to get me to stop, as if implied threats are a greater weapon to your position than argument (which tells me loads about the defensibility of your position). At least, at this point, you know part of my position on prayer and why I don't believe it works. I know nothing of yours. One of us is effectively communicating in the dialogue on faith and beliefs systems. One of us hasn't even stepped into the ring.
And lastly, let's not imagine that saying prayer is equivalent to magical thinking is anywhere near as close to a put down as Christians have made of the phrase, "I'll pray for you."
Here's a great assessment of prayer by Dan Barker, with an up-tempo beat to give you smiles!

Redmond man killed in Crook Co. mill accident
27-year-old crushed by metal press at mill near Prineville
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - A 27-year-old Redmond man was killed when a 1,500-pound metal press, supported by a forklift, fell on him Wednesday at the Fontana Wood Products mill northwest of Prineville, Crook County sheriff's deputies said.
Deputies and Crook County Fire and Rescue medics were called to the mill at 3939 NW Lamonta Road around 11:15 a.m., said sheriff's Deputy Ryan Seaney, who identified the victim as Joshua Lee Ketchem.
An investigation found that Ketchem had been working underneath a large metal press, supported by a forklift, that weighed about 1,500 pounds, Seaney said.
Ketchem was working alone at the time the press fell on him, pinning him to the ground, the deputy said.
Ketchem was found a short time later by other employees, and the press was lifted off the man around the time medics arrived on scene, according to Seaney.
The medics took Ketchem to an ambulance but were unable to revive him, Seaney said, adding that the investigation was continuing and no foul play was suspected.
Fontana Wood Products, which moved from Redmond to Prineville in 2008, manufactures trusses for manufactured and modular homes.

|Zdeno Chara appreciates the 'nice gesture' of Max Pacioretty
|03.10.11 at 11:27 pm ET
It's been a bizarre 24 hours for Zdeno Chara, Max Pacioretty and the NHL to say the very least.
On Wednesday night, Pacioretty said he was 'disgusted' that Chara wasn't fined or suspended for the hit on Tuesday night that gave him a severe concussion and broke a vertebrae in his back.
Then Thursday, Pacioretty showed his support of a fellow NHL combatant by publicly denouncing any effort by Montreal authorities to criminally prosecute Chara for a hit that happened in the course of a game.
Following Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sabres, Chara said he was relieved to be back playing and appreciated the words earlier in the day from Pacioretty.
"It's obviously a nice gesture," Chara said. "It's something that, for sure, shouldn't go that far. It's something, like I said, very unfortuante. I keep repeating that. You feel bad about it. You don't want to see anybody get hurt and especially, in that case, upper body, and most likely, neck and head."
Word came on Thursday that Montreal authorities plan an investigation to determine whether criminal charges should be brought against Chara, whose hit into the turnbuckle at center ice gave Pacioretty a severe concussion and fractured a vertabrae in his back.
"We all feel bad about it," Chara said. "It doesn't matter, rivalry or no rivalry, we all want to see the guy recover and obviously, I'm going to try and reach out to him and talk to him either over the phone or try to see him in person. But I totally understand and respect that now he probably needs time and space and to be around his closest family. I'm sure when the time is right, I'll probably reach out and talk and somehow connect."
For Chara, he was just glad to be back on the ice, focusing on hockey, not hearings.
"That's obviously one of those things I'd love to do," Chara said. "Playing hockey is obviously my most important thing. To be on the ice that's for sure the most important."
It was a home crowd that chanted his name during his first shift in the opening minute.
"For sure, it's something I very much appreciated and I'm very thankful for that. It feels for sure great to be home and to get that support from the fans," he added.
He even showed in the first period that he's not going to change his physical play because of Tuesday when he drilled Jason Pominville into the corner boards on a very clean but hard hit.
"I don't see any reason to change my game or my style of play," Chara said. "I'm going to continue to play physical and play hard. That's my game and I don't see any reason to change."
|What Zdeno Chara and the Bruins learned Saturday night
|03.07.11 at 10:11 am ET
One loss following a very impressive seven-game winning streak is hardly cause for alarm. And that's especially true since the Bruins managed a point Saturday night when they didn't play their best game and found a way to tie it with 32.5 seconds left in regulation.
But there was a lesson to be learned. Just asked Zdeno Chara. If you don't skate hard against a hungry team, you'll likely wind up on the losing end.
The captain gave the Bruins the lead, 1-0, just under eight minutes into the second period. But from then on, the B's seem to take a collective breath and relax as the Pens picked up their intensity and took it to them in every way.
They took more shots, delivered more hits and until the final 33 seconds, scored more goals.
"We didn't have our best game, that's for sure," Chara said. "We were just, we had heavy legs, we didn't skate well, we didn't move the puck well. On the other side Pittsburgh played extremely well. They put a lot of pressure on us. They took away space and time and we couldn't create much."
All of this from a Penguins team that came in losing 6-of-7 and had lost in overtime 24 hours earlier in New Jersey.
"I think it was mostly us, we weren't moving our feet at all," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "We were second to the puck. At the same time, you couldn't establish a physical game because you never got there on time. So they were on the puck and we were doing a lot of watching, I thought in the second period and they just took the game away from us at that point."
"They even they had back to back games," Chara added. "They had pretty good jump and energy. It almost felt like we were the team who played last night. But it's going to happen. You're going to have games like this where we were just slow and not moving the puck as well as we used to. But we worked extremely hard in the third and earned that point. That's the positive. Obviously we'd like to get two but it happens."
But now, following the end of the winning streak, the Bruins know they have to pick it back up with a big division game Tuesday night in Montreal. The Canadiens have won four straight and 5-of-6. They trail the Bruins by just five points in the Northeast.
No reason for the Bruins not to have their legs under them for this one.
|Pens show Bruins they're a lot more than just Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin
|03.05.11 at 11:10 pm ET
If the Bruins somehow wind up playing the Penguins in the Stanley Cup playoffs this spring they should take a very close look at the video from Saturday night's game at TD Garden.
Without superstars Sidney Crosby [concussion] and Evgeni Malkin [right knee], the Penguins got two goals from HBO "24/7″ star Dustin Jeffrey, including the game winner less than two minutes into overtime to come away with a 3-2 win over the Bruins, snapping Boston's seven-game winning streak.
Crosby or no Crosby, Malkin or no Malkin, the Penguins played exactly the kind of hockey that wins in the playoffs. It's not superstar hockey, it's team hockey. What exactly is that?
"They're a lot more hard-working," Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk said. "Their hard work takes over [for] their skill. When they have those other guys in, there's a lot of skill in there and they still work hard, but they try to make different plays than they would if they had those guys in the lineup. They just got the [puck] in deep and just tried to keep as much time in our zone as possible."
B's coach Claude Julien had his own take.
"Obviously, they're missing some star players," Julien noted. "We thought one of our best forwards tonight was missing, too. You have to adjust to those kinds of things and what it boils down to is the team play. And that's what they did tonight, they played a good team game.
"They were forechecking hard, they were on top of us. Even when we got the puck in the neutral zone, they didn't give us much time. They really skated hard and took away our time and space and they did a good job of that. I think that's where their success came from tonight. When you work hard enough, eventually you get rewarded, and they got a break there at the end and were able to score in OT."
|Claude Julien: We still need Tuukka Rask
|02.11.11 at 10:28 pm ET
Tuukka Rask has enough on his plate. He's not about to try and read Claude Julien's mind on coaching decisions.
But to be honest, he didn't exactly need to be The Amazing Kreskin to figure out what the Bruins coach was thinking when he yanked Rask after the second period of Friday's 6-1 dud against the Red Wings before a displeased Garden crowd.
"I'm not going to start analyzing that," Rask said. "I thought I deserved to get pulled. I didn't play to my level today."
That's one way of putting it.
Rask admitted he did not have one of his finer performances of the year and that he deserved to get pulled after allowing five goals on 18 shots in two periods. Rask, who fell to 5-11-1, said he had no criticism of coach Julien, who started Tim Thomas in goal to start the third.
Julien said he has not lost confidence in Rask, who allowed goals on the first two shots he faced as the Bruins fell behind 2-0 in the first three minutes and never recovered. The last time Rask was pulled was on New Year's Day in Buffalo when Rask allowed three in the first, despite the Bruins leading, 4-3.
Julien started him in the next game and Rask was very good in a 2-1 at Toronto.
"We didn't feel he was as sharp as we needed him to be, that was number one," Julien said of Rask. "He still made some good saves. I don't think we didn't recognize that as well, but he just wasn't as sharp tonight and after discussing the situation, we just felt that the right thing to do was to give Timmy the third period."

|Tuukka Rask, Bruins knocked out cold by Red Wings, 6-1
|at 9:32 pm ET
Maybe the Bruins should petition the league against any more home games on Fridays.
The last three haven't turned out so great. They were blanked 3-0 in a clunker against the Hurricanes on Nov. 26. The time before that was even more painful. Last May 14 fell on a Friday, and so did the Bruins when the Flyers came from behind to eliminate the Bruins with a 4-3 decision in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semis.
The latest Friday night fright was nowhere near as important as the defeat that ended the B's season, but it was still a mighty punch in the gut – especially if you're Tuukka Rask, who had the misfortune of playing in both.
With "The Fighter" Mickey Ward on hand for the ceremonial puck drop, Henrik Zetterberg had a goal and two assists and Todd Bertuzzi added a pair of goals as the Red Wings rocked Rask and the Bruins, 6-1, Friday night at TD Garden. The two teams will conclude their home-and-home series in a rematch on Sunday afternoon at Joe Louis Arena.
The Red Wings, leaders in the Central Division, wasted little time seizing control of the game and making life miserable on Rask. Bertuzzi ripped a shot from the top of the left circle that beat Rask far side just 70 seconds into the first. Danny Cleary made it 2-0 exactly two minutes later when he flipped a shot past Rask from between the circles.
The Bruins rebounded with 2:07 left in the first when David Krejci snapped a 20-game goal drought with his eighth of the season. But the Red Wings put the game away with three goals in the second, capped off by Bertuzzi's second of the night when Rask misplayed a puck to his right and the forward flipped it off the back of his pads and into the net. The crowd booed Rask early and often as the back-up goalie fell to 4-11-1.
Rask made just 13 saves on 18 shots in 40 minutes before being pulled for Tim Thomas to start the third. University of Maine product Jimmy Howard stopped 25-of-26 shots to improve to 27-10-3 on the season.
|Milan Lucic muscles up so Nathan Horton can finally do his thing
|02.10.11 at 10:21 am ET
Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton are big, big men on the ice, cut from the same mold. But while it's been a great year for Lucic, it's been an up-and-down one for Horton, in his first season in Boston.
They both clicked Wednesday night and as a result, the impact on the Bruins' offense was dramatic – as in eight goals dramatic.
Lucic added to his team lead in goals with tallies Nos. 22 and 23 and Horton – with a goal and four assists – had his most productive night of his career in an 8-6 knock-down, drag-out KO of the Habs.
"We are just happy that we were able to get that win," Lucic said. "They have been a tough opponent for us. We lost last time but not [this time]. Most of all we are happy to get those two points and to keep moving up in the standings."
Indeed, for all the excitement over the pugilistic debut of Tim Thomas against Carey Price, this game was a huge one in the standings. The Bruins increased their lead to four points over the Habs, with a game in hand, still.
As for his line of center David Kreji and Horton, it was on fire.
"I mean I felt like that ever since we were put back together lately we have been ok, I mean we have had no goal here, one goal there," Lucic said. "We knew we could be a threat every time we went on the ice and that is what we have kind of talked about as a line yesterday we wanted to be that threat and you know get in there and play with that emotion. Be the guys that Coach counts on, and so its definitely great that we had a game the way we did we have to keep pushing it and keep getting more."
Horton's struggles have been well-chronicled. Even coach Claude Julien has pointed to Horton's struggles often in the last two months. Wednesday night, Julien admitted that the Bruins have been waiting for this breakout ever since Horton started the season with eight goals and 10 assists in the first 17 games of the season.
"Well, that's what we have wanted from him for a while now, so it happened tonight," Julien said after Horton's career game. "We are certainly happen with that. Now it's a matter of hopefully him continuing to do that for our team, he was a big help for us."
"It's nice," Horton said in the understatement of the night. "Obviously, it helps me a little bit with my confidence. It is nice but it's nice to get the points, it's a big game for us. It was a four-point game, and we won.
"It was just working hard. I think we were ready to go. We talked about it as a line, before the game, we need to start playing and start contributing. I think we did that tonight but it's only one game and hopefully we can continue to keep bringing it."
But nothing means more than to have the support of a fellow teammate and linemate.
"It seemed like he was getting really hard on himself getting really down on himself but it these last few games you can see he is on his game again and its all starting to find his game again," Lucic said of Horton. "It all starts with him skating, using his speed, his body, and you know he had a big night tonight and hopefully he continues with his confidence."
|Logan Couture 'most complete player' Joe Thornton has ever seen
|02.05.11 at 7:05 pm ET
All things are relative, but ask Joe Thornton and he'll tell you that red-hot rookie center Logan Couture is not just the best player for his age that's he's ever played with, but the player he's seen with so little NHL experience.
How little? The ninth overall pick in the 2007 draft is still just 21 years old. Saturday marked his 75th game in the league but just his 50th this season, and he is still considered a rookie in the eyes of the NHL.
With his game-winning power-play backhander past Tim Thomas in the first period on Saturday, Couture has 23 goals and 11 assists in 50 games. And to think the Bruins could have had him in that 2007 draft.
Instead, with the eighth pick, the Bruins selected Zach Hamill, the same Zach Hamill who was playing just his second NHL game on Saturday, first this season.
"Actually, it almost felt like my first game but at the same time I got into the speed of it the guys in the room helped me out a little bit to calm me down but it was good," Hamill said.
It's Couture who has been going at full tilt for the entire season, leading all NHL rookies in goals at 23. And since Couture only played in 25 regular season games at the NHL level last year, he's still eligible for Calder Trophy consideration.
'He's the most complete player that I've seen at that age," Thornton said. "He penalty kills, he plays power play and plays all the important minutes. By far, the Calder winner so far this year.' Read the rest of this entry »

today I worked on a 69 Goat. Primarily fitting up a lower valiance, filling pinholes, prepping everything around the mud with a softpad da and 180, and setting back the front bumper for paint. I also worked on being a father by singing lullabies to my daughter, taking her for a walk, and reading to her. Then ended the day by working on my jumpshot and played a pick up game of basketball.
Today the boss asked me how we can turn out jobs faster when they don't pay 20k for it, so I told him he needs to charge more upfront for endura bumper repairs and fitment. I told him the first day the car came and he had months to address the condition of the bumper with the customer before it was even touched but he failed to do so. The job was nearly done but the one thing holding it back was the bumper that I already warned him about ahead of time. Some people just don't get it and just want someone to blame for their own stupidity. Let's see... expect great work yet don't have the slightest clue how to charge for it....hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmm.... blame the worker!

HISTORY may be written by the victors but it is being adapted for the MTV generation by Hollywood and the media.
Widespread misconceptions, prejudice and outright ignorance about major events of the past six decades have been revealed in a major study of undergraduates in the UK, USA and Germany.
The Scottish academic who carried out the work says factually inaccurate movies and biased news reporting is skewing young people's grasp of recent history.
Greg Philo, professor of communications at Glasgow University, also blames a lack of teaching of history and politics in British schools for what he has dubbed "black holes of history".
Philo set questions to a selection of 750 randomly picked students across Britain, Germany and the USA aged between 17 and 21. The questions ranged from details of the Second World War to the September 11 terror attacks and will be published in full in his new book Tell Me Lies.
One of the questions put to undergraduates was which country suffered the highest casualty rate in the Vietnam war? Around a third of students in all three countries believed that US forces suffered the highest losses. In fact, there were 60,000 American deaths compared with the loss of two million Vietnamese, a ratio of 33 to one.
Philo claims Hollywood action movies must take some of the blame for the students' distorted views.
He said: "They are generally all about the suffering of American soldiers and the demonisation of the Vietnamese and what the Americans did to the population was not discussed.
"The problem is that people do not have the historical facts which allow them to distinguish between fact and Hollywood-spun fiction so they just believe what they see at the movies."
The British and American students were then asked how many lives were lost in the September 11 terror attacks. The vast majority - 93% - correctly answered that it was about 3,000.
The same students were asked how many people were estimated to have been killed during bombing raids in Afghanistan in the subsequent war. Only 2% of the students knew the correct answer: approximately 20,000.
To Philo, this gap in the students' knowledge should be partly laid at the door of broadcasters. He said: "There was obviously a huge amount of coverage on September 11 and it was so close to home that no one could fail to know about the event. Afghanistan deaths did not really feature in any big way."
Asked "In the Second World War, which allied country defeated the most German divisions?" just 18% of US and 29% of British gave the correct answer as the Soviet Union in contrast to the 73% of Germany students who answered correctly.
Nearly half the British students and 65% of US students thought the answer was Britain or the US. In fact, the Soviets defeated more than three times as many German divisions as their western allies.
The research also found widespread ignorance when students were asked what were the Gulags in the Soviet Union. Only 5% of British students and 8% of Americans knew that they were slave camps established by Stalin. Again, German students appeared better informed with 30% knowing the correct answer.
Analysing the data Philo said he blamed the education system, media outlets and misleading films for the level of historical ignorance.
He said: "In Germany, history and politics is compulsory in school until 17 and I think this is reflected in the results."
Dr Thomas Weber, who specialises in British and German history and modern anti-semitism at the University of Glasgow, said he was not surprised by the levels of ignorance.
"It's shocking but not surprising. Many students who come here don't really have much of a clue about current or historical events."

Professor of Business Administration
Julie Battilana is a Professor of Business Administration in the Organizational Behavior unit at Harvard Business School and the Alan L. Gleitsman Professor of Social Innovation at the Harvard Kennedy School. She currently teaches the second-year Power and Influence course and in previous years has taught the first-year Leadership and Organizational Behavior (LEAD) course in the MBA program. She also teaches in the doctoral program and in executive education offerings.
Professor Battilana's research examines the process by which organizations or individuals initiate and implement changes that diverge from the taken-for-granted norms in a field of activity. Such divergent changes are particularly challenging to implement because they require not only breaking with existing norms, but also convincing others to rally behind the change. Professor Battilana's research aims to elucidate what it takes to initiate divergent change, and how to succeed in its implementation. To do so, she has developed two streams of research that address divergent change at different levels of analysis. The first focuses on understanding the conditions that enable individuals to initiate and implement divergent change within their organizations. The second examines how organizations themselves can diverge from deeply-seated organizational forms, which, as they become taken-for-granted over time, prescribe the structures and management systems that organizations in a given sector ought to adopt. Studies in this stream reveal the role of hybrid organizing in this process—defined as the activities, structures, processes and meanings by which organizations make sense of and combine multiple organizational forms. Professor Battilana's research focuses on a specific instance of hybrid organizing by examining social enterprises that diverge from the established organizational forms of both typical corporations and typical not-for-profits by combining aspects of both at their core. Her work aims to understand how these hybrids can sustainably combine aspects of corporations and not-for-profits at their core and how they can achieve high levels of both social and commercial performance.
She has articles published or forthcoming in the Academy of Management Annals, Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Business Ethics, Leadership Quarterly, Management Science, Organization, Organization Science, Organization Studies, Research in Organizational Behavior and Strategic Organization. Her research has been featured in publications like BusinessWeek, the Huffington Post, and the Stanford Social Innovation Review. She is also a regular contributor to the French newspaper Le Monde.
A native of France, Professor Battilana earned a B.A. in sociology and economics, an M.A. in political sociology and an M.Sc. in organizational sociology and public policy from Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan. She also holds a degree from HEC Business School, and a joint Ph.D. in organizational behavior from INSEAD and in management and economics from Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan.
Won the 2014 Wyss Doctoral Award for Excellence in Mentoring from Harvard Business School.
Received the 2013 Apgar Award for Innovation in Teaching from Harvard Business School.
Nominated for the 2013 Wyss Doctoral Award for Excellence in Mentoring from Harvard Business School.
"How Actors Change Institutions: Towards a Theory of Institutional Entrepreneurship" with Bernard Leca and Eva Boxenbaum (Academy of Management Annals, 2009) was named by Science Watch as the August 2011 "Fast Breaking Paper" in Economics and Business. A Fast Breaking Paper is "a very recent scientific contribution that is just beginning to attract the attention of the scientific community."
Selected by the French-American Foundation as one of 20 participants (10 French and 10 American) in the 2009 Young Leader program. The French-American Foundation is the principal non-governmental organization linking France and the United States at leadership levels and across the full range of the French-American relationship.

Olympic oarsman Mahe Drysdale turned international rescuer while on a tramp across the Tongariro Alpine crossing in Tongariro National Park.
Drysdale, fresh from defending his Billy Webb Challenge title in Wanganui at the weekend, was instrumental in the rescue of a young Dutchman who had fallen and suffered a back injury while on the popular 19km walk which passes over the volcanic terrain of Mt Tongariro and the eastern base of Mt Ngauruhoe.
Drysdale was making the tramp on Monday with his partner Juliette Haigh and other international rowers, Olympic silver medallist Kim Crow from Australia and Swede Lassi Karonen. All had been in Wanganui over the weekend for the rowing challenge.
He said about 2pm they came across another party of trampers on the track.
"There were two parties of four but in one group a young Dutchman was in trouble. I reckon he was in his early 20s," Drysdale said.
"He had fallen and apart from some lacerations to his arms he was in considerable pain with a back injury."
He said some of the other trampers - all foreigners - had cellphones but were unsure who they should contact in an emergency.
"I used my phone to dial the *555 police number and they had a rescue helicopter on the scene within an hour."
Drysdale said while he waited with the injured Dutchman, the other three in his group continued to climb Mt Ngauruhoe.
"It was a beautiful day and we wanted them to see the views," he said.
Both he and Ms Haigh had done the crossing before so he said it was not unfamiliar territory for them.
"The bloke wasn't too flash when we arrived on the scene but his spirits had lifted quite a bit by the time the chopper landed."
Staff from Taupo's Greenlea Rescue Helicopter said they were called to Mt Ngauruhoe to assist a 23-year-old man who fell while descending from the summit.
The man was slung from the mountain on a long line recovery system and taken to Rotorua hospital with back injuries and significant grazing.
The man was discharged yesterday.
After finishing the tramp Drysdale and his party headed back to Cambridge.
They were back on the water at Lake Karapiro yesterday morning for a training session before taking Ms Crow and Karonen through to Auckland to catch their flights back home.


text: Allegedly, it was mentioned Neuman suffered from depression, bi-polar disorder and delusions heightened by rejection from the victim's wife, Andrea Sneiderman. Lately, we have heard so much about this bi-polar disorder in the news, if it is not suicide, someone cannot control their depression among co-workers and strangers whom cannot understand their emotional stress. In this case, Hemy Neuman allegedly shot a man while dropping off son at his daycare. Rusty Sneiderman was the husband of the woman, Neuman had been allegedly in an adulterous relationship with, Andrea Sneiderman. This man's alleged insanity was probably began when he no longer felt desired by his lover. However, Ariela Neuman, Hemy's estranged wife did not support her husband, because she claims he was faking his alleged insanity, possibly because she is bitter of their separation or maybe she just knows her husband more than anyone else.

A common fashion perception used to be that, as the temperature rose, layers were shed. In particular, spring fashion relied heavily on the statement shoe or bag to anchor the season's flimsy fabrics and soft silhouettes. This year, however, designers have, somewhat surprisingly, decreed light outerwear – including jackets, car coats, trenches and other toppers – the new warm-weather accessory.
"It speaks to the maximalist style of dressing that we've been seeing the last couple of seasons," says Suzanne Timmins, senior vice president and fashion director of Hudson's Bay. "A jacket allows for another layer of texture, even if you don't need it for warmth."
This spring, the retailer is chockablock with jackets of varying styles and price points, though Timmins says the key silhouette is the blazer. It is, for the most part, heavily patterned with graphic, floral or geometric prints and figures into every collection from affordable labels such as Jones New York to high-end designer brands like Thakoon.
What is perhaps most remarkable about the spring jacket is how its styling is being interpreted on the street: draped over the shoulders cape-style. It's a look that was first credited to fashion editors, including Joanna Hillman of Harper's Bazaar, Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele of Interview Magazine and Emmanuelle Alt of French Vogue, all of whom have been spotted wearing their toppers in this manner as they travel between tents during the spring presentations. Now, the affectation is creeping into the mainstream, so much so that several designers drew inspiration from it when creating and presenting their spring outerwear looks.
Michael Kors, for instance, practically earmarked the brightly hued coats and jackets in his collection for fashion-industry insiders. "I call it front-row fashion," he said to Vogue.com in September, "because it's going to give people something to put on during the New York shows in February."
He wasn't the only designer with media mastheads in mind when designing for spring. "The way editors wear their jackets nonchalantly propped on their shoulders really struck me," says Joseph Altuzarra, who showed a bevy of structured jackets in his spring 2013 runway presentation. "There's a real sense of ease to their way of dressing."
Altuzarra took it one step further, facilitating "shouldering," as some are calling it, by adding side slits to his jackets so that the wearer can thread her arms through them. These provide an added measure of security, ensuring that the jacket doesn't slip off the shoulders. And to preserve the integrity of the look, he opted for stiffer fabrics such as coated and wrinkled cotton.
"Maintaining the silhouette was definitely part of the consideration in choosing the fabric," he says. "The shorter jackets, which can function as both a structured jacket and a cape, retain the silhouette when the woman is sitting" – in the front row or anywhere else.
For street-style photographers, this sort of styling gives a subject more dimension. "The look adds casual flair while the subject is copping an attitude," says Roslyn Griffith Hall, a Toronto-based stylist who has snapped attendees outside the shows at Paris Fashion Week. But it can also act as a shield. "When [T Magazine style director] Kate Lanphear doesn't want to have her picture taken because she's smoking a cigarette, she slings a jacket over her shoulders, has a slick of silver hair over her eye and walks with authority in that coat," she says. "It's like she's saying that she's not posing for anyone."
It sounds easy enough to drape a jacket over your shoulders and strut, but there are things to consider when pulling off this style. For one thing, the only bag that logistically works with the look is a clutch. For another, the jacket must have structure and a strong shoulder or it simply won't stay on. It also requires a commitment, Timmins says, suggesting that jackets worn this way should be paired with equally bold items such as a statement-making necklace, blouse or belt.
"It's a look that says 'I mean business,' " she says. "You have to carry it off with attitude."Report Typo/Error

text: I have an a well house on the farm. It is made out of concrete blocks, with a concrete 36-inch round tile. the well has a concrete cover with a hole where the pipe was that wend down to the water. the walls of the well house does not have a cover, which is open to the stars. I'm planning on putting my first hive on the concrete lid. There is a pond, 100-yards away from the well house. Is that to far away for the bees, or do i need to move them closer to a water sorce?will the bees go down into the well for water? the water is only about 18-feet down. I have numerous springs on the place where i could locate them. the reason for putting them on top of the well is for the ---- wild hogs we have roaming the woods.
