Ok, so I'm going back out on tour (again, again, again) and I'm looking at the space blanket on my floor, thinking "What the hell do I use this for?"
I've got synthetic insulation, and the good sense not to get soaked. So will I really need this thing? It's like four ounces. I understand the science (sort of…) but I see a lot of companies putting reflective layers in stuff. Both my thermarest pads have it. It's starting to look like a gimmick to me. Am I wrong?
Does it really make a big enough difference to warrant the weight, or can I ditch it if i'm within my sleeping bag's "Extreme" range the entire trip?Oct 10, 2013 at 1:45 pm #2032832

Space blankets are pretty useless for keeping you warm, the bivy space blankets are much better.
I sometimes tape a space blanket to my tarp to reflect heat from a fire. It works amazing for that.Oct 10, 2013 at 1:51 pm #2032833

A space blanket can be effective in blocking radiated heat loss, but that is less than 10% of your total heat loss. It is as effective as a good sheet of plastic for blocking convected heat loss, so it is not worthless. It is a good rain cover in a storm.
I've used one as a ground sheet when I didn't have a better piece.

I use one above 60F for warmth and at lower temps as a VBL with my quilt.Oct 10, 2013 at 2:16 pm #2032844
I've carried one for years and never used it, wonder if it wouldn't be better to leave at home.
It provides a little warmth. It provides more warmth for the weight and volume than anything else.
If you have a tent and sleeping bag it's probably not important to take. In a survival situation just use those.
If you're day hiking it could save your life in a survival situation.Oct 10, 2013 at 2:35 pm #2032852

I spent a night out once down in the low 20's clothed in shorts and T-shirt.
Wished I had a space blanket or bivy back then. :)

In most instances, yes I have a space blanket. They are in my vehicle, in my PSK, and even hanging on the backside of my greenhouse (increases the internal temperature of my greenhouse). When backpacking with all my camping gear, I consider the space blanket to be redundant and don't carry it but in the winter I do carry it as a ground cloth (I use snow shelters in the winter, not tents).Oct 10, 2013 at 2:49 pm #2032857

The blanket is difficult to use. It's so light that you can't wrap it around your body well, especially not if you are putting it over your bag. The bivy version is so much better.Oct 10, 2013 at 3:00 pm #2032863

Cool. Confirms what I was thinking. Definitely useful to have in a dayhike bag, but redundant when backpacking and camping.Oct 10, 2013 at 3:32 pm #2032869
Justin had some good suggestions, but I think where a reflective sheet is really going to shine (pun intended) would be as a partial VBL under a quilt and directly over the body during cold temps to boost ones sleep system. Think Michael L's earlier thread with using Cuben and it helping a lot, but instead using the reflective stuff. I've experimented with S.B.'s before but not quite in that way yet. But it seems clear that would be of the most efficient ways to use it besides reflecting fire heat.Oct 10, 2013 at 4:03 pm #2032879
"but I think where a reflective sheet is really going to shine (pun intended) would be as a partial VBL under a quilt"
This may be controversial, but I think there needs to be an air space next to the space blanket to be effective.
If there's something against the reflective layer, it will just conduct heat and reflective layer won't make any difference
If the space blanket is on the outside that works. There's an air space on the outside.
If you could have an air space and then space blanket, that would work, but how could you suspend the space blanket? The Blizzard Survival Suit accomplishes this by having an accordian fold with elastic, but that's sort of heavy.Oct 10, 2013 at 5:51 pm #2032917

Usually you'll have a fly or ground cloth or tarp for wind and rain protection.
I carry them in my day packs. Colorado is known for 40 to 50 degree temperature swings at elevation. Mix that with a little August snow fall and you might catch a chill.Oct 10, 2013 at 6:06 pm #2032926
That's interesting Jerry, i didn't know that. I would still like to test it out.
Guess Columibia is scamming folks then with their reflective liners and claims of enhanced warmth?Oct 10, 2013 at 6:25 pm #2032934
Like I said, the air space to make reflective layer effective theory seems to be controversial for some reasonOct 10, 2013 at 6:29 pm #2032937

I tend to prefer the bivvy configuration. I use the old space blankets I have lying around for ground sheetsOct 10, 2013 at 6:32 pm #2032940
How does the concept work? Does it matter at all how the reflective layer is made besides the accordion part? What i mean more specifically, is i just got some SOL emergency blankets, they are reflective on one side and solid color on the other side, as opposed to the regular mylar space blankets. Would that make any difference at all, or do you just need some kind of air space?
I'm trying to figure out how this works, and my brain is just not working very well so far doing it.Oct 10, 2013 at 7:11 pm #2032954

What's important is reflectiveness in the IR spectrum. It may be a solid color in visible wavelength, but reflective in IR, I don't know.
You want an air space next to a reflective surface for it to work.
I would put the solid color surface against me (my clothing) and the reflective surface facing out.
If you look on the web, you can frequently see photos of people with space blankets with a colored surface on the outside. If that colored surface is not reflective in IR, I think that won't work, they should have the shiny side out, not the colored side. Radiant heat loss is sort of obscure, so maybe they're just making a mistake in usage, which is funny since they're selling it. They should show how to use it properly.
If there's a shiny side facing you, there is some air gap because of wrinkles and such so that works some.
And, like I said, I may get some disenting opinion about this : )Oct 10, 2013 at 8:43 pm #2032983
Ok, i think i see what you mean a little better, especially as far as the air gap. Like an air gap between you and the S.B. That part makes sense, i thought you were saying you had to have a clear air space behind the S.B. to work.
Well there are ways to create some air gaps i suppose, rolling up some clothes into a tight roll placed over your body, but then you got to sleep like the dead, so not very practical i suppose.
Why does nature hate us so, why, whhhhyyyyy..???? Can't things be easy, light, effective, and cheap?
Why are we such wimpy creatures, with so little natural adaptation? Wolves don't have to hang around gear forums figuring out, "Gggrr arff arrff ruff ruff ruff Ah oooooh(translates) "Well Bob, let me tell you, i got these new down booties, and they are dah bomb, super light, super warm, and it only cost 3 rabbits. Can you believe it?"Oct 10, 2013 at 9:12 pm #2032991
clothes don't create air space. As soon as IR hits the surface of the clothing it gets absorbed. You need an air space that consists of air.
A blizard suit has several layers of reflective material, then they're accordianed up using elastic. So you have reflective material, air, reflective material, etc.
A neo air mattress has internal reflective layers inside, suspended so there's air space between.
In the ceiling of a house, you can suspend the reflective material between joists so there's air spaceOct 10, 2013 at 9:50 pm #2032997
Got you, got you before too, but i guess i wasn't explaining myself well. In any case, what i was saying wouldn't really be practical anyways.
Probably also not practical; I guess one could put guy outs on a S.B. (one of the stronger SOL ones) and raise it up an inch or so from your body, but what a pain in the butt.Oct 10, 2013 at 10:18 pm #2033004
My great idea is to make a tent out of reflective material
Theoretically this should workOct 10, 2013 at 10:24 pm #2033007
Sounds interesting, i'm guessing there's no current suitable material?
Funny enough, i have been thinking of making a reflective liner for my Tipi tent, but i don't know how to do it with the stove being set up inside same. I don't think putting it any where near the pipe would be a good idea.
But maybe i can just sort of hang some from the top sides and reflect it down. Probably don't really need it to begin with the stove in there. Get's plenty hot, but more interested in conserving the heat a little longer.Oct 10, 2013 at 10:51 pm #2033018
The outside of a clothed or sleeping bagged body is only slightly warmer than ambient so heat loss from radiant heat loss is small – what did someone say, 20% of total heat loss?
A stove is hot. Radiant heat reflected would be a lot more.
You can buy space blankets.
Go to a store that sells stuff for growing (marijuana) plants indoors. They sell reflective material.

iPad 4 (Retina) 64gb Brand New
I'm selling this for my brother. It is brand new. Black in color. Save some money this way! Has the same warranty as if it was bought from the store. $625 shipped and insured Attachment 483403Attachment 483402
No one wants a new iPad!?! Does $600 shipped and paypal fees included sweeten the deal? These are selling for $746 in stores (tax included) or $675ish on eBay
iPad 4?
Where are you located?
Im in Columbus Ohio and yes it is the newest iPad (iPad 4 with the retina display). Meet me in the middle, 575, and its yours. Shipped, insured, PayPal covered
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Bimmer App
Bump, need the cash guys! How does nobody on here want a brand new iPad for so much less!?
Wtf is an iPad 4?
There is the iPad 1, 2, 3, and the 4 that is referred to as the iPad with retina display. I listed it as iPad 4 to avoid any confusion since it is not the 3 (which also has a Retina display).
Model number A1458 = 4th generation iPad.
The New iPad (iPad 3) is a full sized with the Retina display. The 4th generation iPad was released with the iPad Mini (which also has the Retina display).
So if it is the full size then it's a New iPad (iPad 3 or 4). If it is the smaller version then it is an iPad Mini.
All of them have the Retina display which is awesome!
Hope this clears things up!
I'm honestly surprised this has not received more interest. Figured it would be sold by now. If not I might just buy it off my brother! He wants a Macbook pro with the retina display otherwise I'm pretty sure he would keep it lol
So it's z. iPad mini. Why didn't u just say so. Lol.
So what is it? Mini or IPAD
Lol it is not a mini! It is a regular size iPad, 4th generation, with the retina display!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Bimmer App
So it's an iPod 4. Not a 5. See where it gets confusing?
iPad (2010)
iPad 2 (2011)
iPad 3 (2012) (The new iPad with retina)
iPad 4 (2012) (Same as 3 except faster)
iPad Mini (2012) (7 inch version of iPad with iPad 2's specs)
Is this a 16, 32, 64, and is it 3G or just WiFi?
It is a 64 gb, WiFi only. And it is sale pending

I have attempted to implement the file sharing instructions. I can open the files on my XP Pro Laptop from my Windows 7 machine. But, when trying to open files on the Windows 7 machine from the XP Pro machine I get to a security screen that indicates that I am connecting to the Windows 7 machine and has "User name: my user name" and "Password:" which has a password of the correct number of characters to be my normal password. I click on OK and this same screen comes back and I cannot proceed. Can I get rid of this security screen? Going from the Windows 7 machine to the XP, I do not get this security screen.

Fram CH8081 oil filter, new in box.
I got this as part of a deal on buying Mobil1 at AutoZone (I still think they are running the deal- 5 qts plus a filter for less than 5 qts alone). I use Mann filters, so is anyone interested?
All I really want is the cost of shipping it.

Poet Craig Raine, who just failed to win the Bad Sex prize, was at last night's Purcell Room tribute to War Music poet and renegade Christopher Logue. "That's two years I haven't won it," Raine said when the Londoner broke him the news of the winner. "If you turn up they'll give it to you."
Raine said the Times rang him to do a piece about his birthday and asked how he felt being nominated for the Bad Sex award. "I was going to say it made me feel contempt — but I deleted the email."
There were exquisite love verses, including Logue's translation of Pablo Neruda, but the bad sex was limited to actor Andrew Bailey attaching a latex gauntlet to his crown and banging it with drumsticks to imitate two mating aardvarks. Among the poets performing Logue works were Michael Horowitz and Jon Hegley.

Full disclosure: I'm no expert in Korean food. In fact, before my recent dinner at Korea House BBQ, I barely knew what kimchi was. (For the uninitiated, it's pickled cabbage.) But my companion and I have iron stomachs, not to mention iron wills -- have you seen the Friday-night traffic lately in Fort Worth's Cityview area? -- so we were determined to make our first foray into Korean cuisine a good experience.
Korea House did not disappoint. Located next door to the popular Lone Star Oyster Bar and occupying a storefront that has seen a carousel of tenants, the new restaurant belies the standard strip-center vibe. Painted mint green and white and strewn with rattan table-dividers, the dining room has a casual-yet-refined decor. Couple that with its obsequiously charming wait staff, and it proved to be the perfect environment for a culinary adventure.
Out of three appetizers on the menu, we dipped our collective toes into somewhat familiar territory and ordered the fried dumplings (Goon Man Doo) for $6.99. Garnished with finely sliced cabbage topped with a spicy-mayolike sauce and served alongside a soy and chile-based condiment, the half-moon dumplings were tender and crisp, stuffed with bits of pork and scallions. Our entree into Korean food was off to a good start.
For our main entree, we went with the Dol Sot Galbi Jim, or marinated beef in a hot plate ($13.99).
When the main course was delivered to the table, we realized happily that we did not under-order. (Again, new territory.) Even though we were only splitting one entree, the beef hot plate was a hearty offering of brisketlike cubes of meat rendered in a tomato-based sauce with assorted vegetables. Two bowls of soup, miso and cabbage also came with the entree. But it was the accompaniment that was a sight to behold. Our waitress brought eight (!) bowls of additional foods to eat alongside the meat. To me, the presentation was reminiscent of Indonesian cuisine, or more accurately, the experience of the Rijsttafel, whereupon approximately 8 million tiny plates of food are deposited on your table and you are summarily expected to eat every one of them. (Which is OK when you're in Amsterdam, but that's a story for another day.)
Anyway, Earth to Anna, back in Fort Worth ... these eight small bowls contained two kinds of seaweed (dried and pickled), kimchi, eggplant, tofu, pickled onions and vegetables, egg omelet and a handful of black beans. Add a couple of sides of sticky white rice, and we were in business, mixing and matching the salty and sweet tastes to the beef. The latter was the meal's sole misstep, albeit a large one; the cubed meat was a bit dry and wanting for flavor.
Some aspects to Korean food fit under the heading of acquired tastes. Me, I wasn't too much into the nutty, sweet black beans, the kimchi or the cabbage soup. But our overall experience at Korea House BBQ was positively enlightening, generally tasty and universally cheap (if you choose to split an entree). That's not something you can say about very many restaurants around these parts. And as the half-full dining room of Korean-Americans seemed to attest, much of the restaurant's food is worthy of praise .

Also, if you care about that stuff so much, then why do you eat eggs, meat or w/e, are humans worth more than other living creatures?
It's that kind of selifish thinking that has caused the period we've existed in to be classed as a mass extinction by many scientists.
Also, you're missing the point, the problem with overpopulation has nothing to do with the space we take up, we can just build upwards, but it's to do with the Earth's ability to sustain us and our own ability to maintain a working society without vast levels of unemployment, corruption, crime, starvation etc.
Frankly, I don't want to see an Earth looking like Coruscant.

and you consider yourself open-minded?
Most of you come to the presumption that members who are against abortion are religious. There are many valid arguments being dismissed simply because the person is a male or of religious faith.

im dont think abortion should be the solution for world over population
since its not all about the number we are more than the ressources that are wrongly distributed, which make it seems like over populated.... and leads to great injustice...
but seriously, the rain forest should remain one of the rare ecosysteme where human isnt overpresent (yet) since it protects so many species of animals and vetegals
north of canada i mean.. seriously, its way way to cold and only Inuits are there and they have great problems since they dont have their way of life anymore because of occidental population and laws that make them aside of the population, fall into drugs and alcolism and have many diabetes problem because the way we live are so different.. so.. just putting people over there just because its "empty" would be quite hard thing to do...
im going way off topic now... but well.. just be carefull when you say that we could put human everywhere since its not true, we need a minimum of ressources to actually live somewhere.... =_=
now about abortion
i think loote explained quite well most of the point im trying to say since the begining of the thread
and for those who think abortion is like a murder and that woman that chose, too their own belief that it was the best choice for them, that they are murderer
well i'd like you to really re think this since it is awefully terrible to compare someone that remove a foetus vs someone that kill an actual living and borned totally formed human being with memories, values, choices, rights, taste, friends, families, interest, etc etc
im sorry but its so not the same!!!!

Truth is i understand both sides, even though i choose one..
but why can it be, that some ppl are FOR abortion and others AREN'T?
ppl think differently about all sort of things, it doesn't mean that with effort we can't all get along.. ^_^

What a fascinating debate, I'm bummed that I've been away for some time.
I wouldn't ever consider an abortion myself. I don't have some great morals or anything like that, it's just not a choice I could make myself.
I think though that it's a choice anyone can make themselves.
Especially women, as they have the final say and thus bear a majority of the burden.
There should be a platform in between pro life and pro choice.

Those of you who are against abortion, please take into consideration of this situation. What if a doctor medically prove that there is something wrong with a woman's unborn child. That if the child were to be born, the child would not have legs or eyes...or even sexual organs. Would you still choose not to abort the unborn child? When you know that if the child were to be born, that child will suffer. Will you still decline to abort the unborn child?
Those of you that supports abortion. What about a situation where a wealthy woman is impregnated but want to abort it because it will affect her reputation. Or even a situation where at first a woman decided that she wanted a baby and get pregnant but decide later that she don't want to have a baby anymore and decides to abort it. Will you still feel like you will allow this woman to abort the child?

On a side note, I understand your view. My own position is very much in conflict with my Catholic upbringing. I've been arguing this (not so tirelessly) for over 15 years and I've long given up on changing peoples' opinions. Now I'm just happy if I manage to soften them a tad.

A good friend of mine was born without any legs. He told me that the doctor told his mom about the possible complications of giving birth to him. Thanks to his father, his mother did not go through with an abortion. He thanks god everyday (Yeah his religious, so what!) that he was giving a chance to LIVE. Has it been hard for him? At times... Has he suffer for it day to day? Not at all...
Speculative conclusions have no meaning in the real world, skypiercer. Why don't you try to get to know one of your peers who lives with a disadvantange and see for yourself how their life turned out?

Using a credit card can help you manage your spending with confidence. Taking out a loan can be an onerous task. There is normally a vast array of questions to be answered, covering all aspects of your financial history and circumstances. Probably the easiest and quickest method of obtaining a loan is to use your credit card. If you have a good payment record, by regularly paying off your credit card in full each month, or by paying the required amount on the due date, then your credit card limit will be in line with your monthly requirements.
It is much more convenient to be able to make those spontaneous purchases, such as expensive designer clothes, or the latest electronic equipment, without having to worry about having enough money sitting in your current account. Even if you do keep a large balance in your account, it is likely that it not earning you any interest, and therefore not making the best use of your funds.
Credit cards also provide protection of the purchase, which is particularly useful when buying online. By using your credit card you can have considerably longer than one month's credit, depending on when in the month you make the purchase. You then have plenty of time to transfer money to whichever account you use to fund your credit card.
Having a good payment record on your credit card also improves your general credit rating. Some credit cards also offer incentives and discounts to attract customers. For amounts of up to about £5,000 some cards offer 0% interest rates, usually over a fixed period, so as long as you clear the balance by the end of the fixed period, the arrangement has not cost you anything.
Other forms of loans are probably cheaper for larger, long term purchases, as the interest rates on credit cards can be quite high over longer period of time.
Some times though, you may find you are rejected for finance because you have a bad credit past. The solution is personal loans for bad credit, which are specialised finance packages designed for you if you have a poor financial profile.

Archived InformationTools for Schools - April 1998
The model couples a demanding, standards-driven curriculum provided to all students in 90 minute heterogeneous classes with an "double dose" computer-based reading/language arts curriculum for those students who need extra help to succeed in reading and language arts. The core Student Team Literature program includes:
|Partner Reading and Discussion
Students read part of a book, first silently, than orally with partners. Oral and repeated reading
practice is designed to build fluency, ease in decoding and comprehension. Through the use of
partner guides, students are given challenging high-level questions that encourage them to think
about and discuss analytically the material they have been reading.
| Story Retelling and Story-Related Essay
At the end of a book, partners ask each other to summarize the story in their own words. Students
are given prompts that require them to respond with a written essay to what they have read. These
are followed by peer review, revision, editing and publication.
| Direct Instruction by the Teacher
The Student Team Literature program also includes daily direct instruction on vocabulary, whole-
class discussion of essential points from literature selections, and reading aloud by the teacher to
build listening comprehension.
| Computer and Team Assisted Reading, English and Language Arts Acceleration
Students needing extra help receive an accelerated learning class daily in addition to their regular Student Team Literature class. Because students only go to this class for one quarter of the year, large numbers of students in a school can be served each year. Computer and Team Assisted Reading, English and Language Arts Acceleration is not a pullout program so students do not miss the regular math class. It relies upon computer programs to provide targeted instruction to partners who take turns answering questions.
The costs of running the Computer and Team Assisted Reading, English and Language Arts Acceleration classroom for 20 students includes the cost of 10 multi-media computers with CD Rom (about $2,000 each if the school does not already have these in a computer lab), the cost of software (about $500), and the cost of a teacher for the period. Professional development for Computer and Team Assisted Acceleration is usually conducted in conjunction with the Student Team Literature program professional development.
As the school or school district develops its own cadre of trainers, the training can be done by district or school staff. Modeling of practices by trainers, as well as follow-up coaching and mentoring throughout the year are also part of the implementation of the program. An effective strategy for Student Team Literature implementation is to engage staff of successful, experienced schools in training and follow up in new schools.
The Student Team Literature curriculum eschews tracking of students, and presents all students in
the school with systematic and organized challenging material. The program draws on several
instructional strategies that have shown promise in delivering high-level instruction to heterogeneous
classrooms, including reciprocal teaching, class-wide peer tutoring, and several variations of
cooperative learning. In assessment, the program has instituted a number of innovative classroom
assessment approaches in which students provide each other with continual corrective feedback.
The model's professional development approach involves all reading and language arts teachers in
the school in a focused and collaborative effort to improve teaching and learning. Additionally,
continual assistance and follow up is provided throughout the school year.

Xi Transfer case - anyone else seen this ???
So I was checking things out under my car, and I happened to notice this crack! I don't recall hearing any cracking or thumping when shifting gears, but I did on occasion hear something backing down the driveway in the morning when I went down the dip onto the road, but I doubt this is at all related. The pictures show the crack viewed from the front of the car looking back on the casing. You can also see that where it's split, there's a piece that's shot out and is missing now. There is no other damage around the crack and the rubber mount part that protrudes out past the housing where the piece of metal is missing - the rubber mount protrudes slightly, has no signs of damage, and also my plastic undercover is in one piece... The car still has the CDV in it and I'm not a fan of dropping the clutch, so I'm really at a loss how this has happened .
It's somewhat concerning, if it gets worse and lets lose and/or twists out the whole assembly. The car is a bone stock 325xi with 140 km in Canada.

Digi-Pulse Speed Sensors
Product Announcement from Motion Sensors, Inc.
Digi-Pulse sensors with digital output offer a low cost solution for interfacing directly to data acquisition systems. These sensors integrate a preamplifier/signal conditioner within the sensor housing and offer the advantages of excellent noise immunity and greater transmission capability. Input power supply requirements cover the most popular ranges for both commercial and industrial use. The output frequency of these sensors has a square pulse waveform (digital) that directly relates to the number of turbine blades, gear teeth, etc. that have been sensed. These pulses, in turn, can be correlated to determine flow rate, RPM, or velocity.
Models are available using either Variable Reluctance (Magnetic) or RF (Eddy Current) technology.
These sensors also have EU certification for emissions and immunity (CE mark) and comply with EMC directive 89/336/EEC for installation into any environment. Intrinsically Safe models certified to ATEX and CSA are also available.
Installation Considerations
Please click to view Installation Drawing.
Customization Options
In addition to Standard Models, MSI can make Custom Digi-Pulse sensors in other lengths, diameters, configurations, mounting threads (e.g., metric) as well as with different operating specifications and options like pigtail leads, NPT threads for explosion proof applications, etc. to satisfy special requirements. Hermetically sealed models to protect against moisture intrustion are also available. If you do not see a sensor that meets your needs, please contact Motion Sensors at 252-331-2080 or firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss your requirements.

Gosh, has it been a whole year? One year ago today I became an angel. My kidneys, bladder and nose tumor were just too much and I asked mommy and daddy to let me go. It was very hard for them, they loved me so much. But I was ready. I wanted to fly.
Today I have a favor to ask of all my furrends meowmies and paw-paws. Purrlease do not have regrets about the past. Do not fret and worry about tomorrow. Live in the today. Celebrate the life of your babies here and now. Celebrate their warm fur, ticklish whiskers, soft paw pads. Celebrate them when the claw the couch, shred the drapes and steal your lunch. Celebrate them when they shed on your dinner jacket, walk on the counter and rumble a bit too hard. Celebrate them when they purr on your lap, nuzzle your neck and sleep on your pillow. Celebrate them in remembrance of all bridge angels.
All my love,
Purrlease help my wishes come true.
Wish #1:
Many of you have read the heartbreaking story of my furrend Eve. I never got to meet Eve, due to the neglect she suffered at Okefenokee Humane Society in Waycross, GA (Ware Co.) Meowmy and Eve's to-be adoptive Mommy Terry, along with their friends, are asking everyone to write snail mails or emails to the folks on the list below. Be polite but ask for an investigation into the conditions at OHS. So far, we have had only one noncommittal reply. You can read my back diary entries for that actual letter. If enough of us write and express our concern for the animals still there, surely someone will listen to us. Please help us bring Justice for Eve!!

Wish #2:
Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight...I wish I may...I wish I might...find justice for my friend Muppet and the FLOCK cats.
http://www.catster.com/cats/624959 - Muppet's page
Muppet is my furriend, and she's a survivor! She was at a huge cat 'rescue' called FLOCK. These cats were left to starve and several hundred did not make it. Muppet was critical but she was so strong and fought so hard to live! And she did! Best Friends Rescue took over and thanks to hard workers like Muppet's wonderful furever mommy and others, the surviving cats had a chance for happy, healthy lives.
Unfortunately, the case against the bad people who ran FLOCK was DISMISSED!!!! I'm going to quote now from Muppet's diary:
"...And on this note, and the main reason for my diary entry, we are asking all of our Catster friends to please write a letter to our District Attorney, Bob Beckett, letting him know how outraged every animal lover is that his office failed to properly see that there was justice for Flock. Although he has filed an appeal, we want Bob Beckett to know just how many eyes are upon him and how he better not let his office mess it up this time! Meomy was told that this case was 'purposely hidden so the outcome would be a dismissal.' And in today's paper it states, "Beckett's notice of appeal was filed yesterday. Gibson (General Council for FLOCK) said that surprised him because he and Beckett had struck a deal that the case would go no further." Struck a deal? Humph!!
If everyone who cares about this case could please write a 'snail mail' letter to Bob Beckett, it could really help this case a lot. We need a flood of mail to come in. And thank you to everyone who already have sent letters! *grateful hugs*"
Mr. Robert Beckett
District Attorney, Nye County
1520 E Basin Ave
Pahrump, NV 89060
I'm just one cat, but I speak for so many when I beg you to write to DA Beckett and to those with authority over Okefenokee Humane Society. Sadly, neglect and abuse of helpless animals happens every day. Usually there isn't much we can do. Here is the chance for caring, truly HUMANE people like my Meowmy and Muppet's Mommy to join your voices together and take action! Write DA Beckett, please. Write or email those in Ware County who can help the poor animals still at OHS.
You CAN make a real difference! They may ignore a few of us, but they cannot ignore us ALL.
Bless you for caring! Thank you so very much, HQ, for giving us the opportunity to inform Catsters and Dogsters about these heartbreaking cases. We love Catster!!!
My dear furrend Scarlet posted a most important diary entry. She is so articulate that I "stole" it and am reporting it too. Please dear furrends, it is very important that Angel Eve's death not be in vain.
From our dear Angel Scarlett:
All the Bridge Angels were celebrating today because the Cat's Meow featured our darling Angel Eve!!! Her story has touched the hearts of caring people around the world. Quite an accomplishment for one little kitten!
Meowmy wanted me to post an update. She and Mommy Terry, along with friends and supporters of Eve's, have written to the government officials mentioned below. As of today, they have received a total of 0 responses. It seems Eve's mommies and their furriends are being ignored by those in a position to help improve the situation at Okefenokee Humane Society.
In Eve's memory, all the Bridge Angels are asking any of you who can to contact these people, asking for an inquiry into Eve's case and conditions at OHS. If enough voices are raised, perhaps we will be heard. We'll be sprinkling angel dust for luck!!!

Re: Should they change the costume for the sequel?
Change the neckline, shade of red (should be brighter) and please, no two-toned red cape. . . .
"Theres no need to "modernize" Superman in order for the character to be appealing to the new generation. Superman is not a brooding angst ridden conflicted hero. He is a beacon of hope and his mission is to fight for Truth, Justice and the American way. Superman doesnt need to wear an armor suit. Hes THE Man of Steel. Theres no need to modernize the suit for it to be more dark and edgy. If todays generation cant accept the characters roots and essence, then theyre not true fans."

No. 18 Pizza Ranch Toyota News and Notes:
• ROAD AMERICA RECAP: Virtually untouchable in last year's Road America race, Michael McDowell and Joe Gibbs Racing's Pizza Ranch team are looking to claim the prize in this season's event. McDowell and the No. 18 Pizza Ranch Toyota were the dominant driver and car at Road America in 2011, winning the pole and leading 30 of the 50 laps in the Bucyrus 200. Looking to cash in on his first career victory in NASCAR's Nationwide Series, McDowell was just laps away from the checkered flag before he hit fluid and ran off of the racetrack, forcing him to settle for a disappointing 12th place finish. On Saturday, McDowell returns to Road America to finish off what he started just one year ago.
• TWO DOWN, THREE TO GO: Saturday's 50 lap road course race will be McDowell's third of five races with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2012. With the support of loyal sponsor, Pizza Ranch, McDowell has finished third and seventh respectively in his first two starts at Iowa Speedway (May 20) and Michigan International Speedway (June 16). In addition to this weekend's event at Road America, look for McDowell behind the wheel of JGR's No. 18 Toyota at Iowa Speedway on August 4 and at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on August 18.
• LEADER OF THE PACK: The No. 18 team's back-to-back wins in the two most recent Nationwide Series events has further extended their lead in the Nationwide Series Owner's Championship point standings. The No. 18 team is now 47 points ahead of the second place No. 2 Richard Childress Racing team and 55 markers ahead of Richard Childress Racing's No. 3 team in third. Joe Gibbs Racing's No. 18 team claimed the Nationwide Series Owner's Championship title in both 2009 and 2010.
• JOE GIBBS RACING AT ROAD AMERICA: Joe Gibbs Racing's Nationwide Series program has four starts with four different drivers at Road America. JGR Nationwide entries have one top-10, one pole and have led 42 laps on the 4.048 mile road course. With 13 of 33 races on the 2012 Nationwide Series schedule completed, Joe Gibbs Racing's three-car team has five wins, 15 top-five finishes, 23 top-10 finishes and five poles.
• FEATURED PIZZA RANCH LOCATION: The No. 18 Toyota will feature the Roscoe, Illinois Pizza Ranch location this weekend for the Road America race. The restaurant is owned by Dan and Mary Moore and was opened in 2007. This restaurant is located a growing area of Roscoe, Illinois. The restaurant will have two individuals serving as honorary pit crew members on Saturday, as well as 10 additional guests from the Roscoe, Illinois Pizza Ranch location.
• RACE INFO: The Sargento 200 at Road America kicks off at 2:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 23. Watch and listen live on ESPN, Sirius XM Channel 90 and MRN Radio starting at 3 p.m. ET.

From the Cockpit:
Michael McDowell: "I'm really pumped up about getting back to Road America this week. Going there is so nice and the race track there is awesome. I enjoy road racing so much because it's my background. I grew up running different Formula cars there at Road America. We're going to have a very competitive Pizza Ranch Camry. You're also going up against guys like Jacques Villeneuve and Max Papis and a lot of great drivers that have a lot of road course experience as well. It's going to be an exciting race – it always is. Last year, we had a dominant car and a dominant performance and we kind of gave one up. This year, we're going back there knowing that we have an opportunity to win, but you also don't know until you unload if the other teams have made gains or are closer now. I feel like last year we had a fairly significant margin on the rest of the field there. I'm imagining that gap is going to get smaller. We're going to have to work hard – it's not a 'gimmie'. It's not easy, but it is exciting knowing we have one of the best shots at it."
From the Pit Box:
Matt Lucas: "We're really looking forward to going back to Road America with Michael. We've got a little bit of unfinished business to take care of. We will be trying to close the deal this year as we had a few issues on the green-white-checker finish last year. Had a fast Pizza Ranch car last year and sat on the pole and led quite a bit. Michael is an excellent road course driver and his entire attention will be on Road America as he is not going to Sonoma with his Cup team."
"The entire team is geared up to put the best car on the track as we possibly can this weekend. Being from the Midwest, I like going back there, and Road America is certainly one of the nicest venues around. It's a different type of racing than we normally do most of the year, but I really enjoy it. I started in road course racing, so I have a lot of good memories of it."

before surgery, 41 f 34a both sides. we used 771 cc on L/R. i was told they would be high and tight and look like they are not where they are going to be when the swelling goes down. my concrn right now is tht the nipples are towards the bottom and not centered in the implant. will this correct itself as swell subsides?
Doctor Answers 1
Nipples will appear to rise as implants descend and fall over 6-9 months
In most cases, the nipples will appear to rise as implants descend and fall over 6-9 months. Exercises may help and I have attached a video for this if permitted by your plastic surgeon.

We are in Chengdu right now. We have had just a few crazy days here. I'm wondering if that might be our "China theme song".
We left Beijing at 7:00pm... or should I say 19:00 because that is how we tell time now... on the night train on the 29th. I guess we were lucky because we got a SOFT sleeper, and they are hard to get. We had a nice mother and daughter (the girl studied in New Zealand for 6 years and spoke perfect English) for company in our compartment. JoAnn said that I snored like a chain saw and the Chinese women were so nice, and didn't complain at all.
We got to Pingyao at 5:30am and sat in the train station until it was day light
Pingyao is one of only five original Chinese cities that has not been "improved". That makes it a really small, walled city that contains the first Chinese bank, that is about a zillion years old. The residents all still live there and go about their daily life like it was hundreds of years ago. It was very cold with snow still on the ground in spots and everyone there had red cheeks or bad colds. Being the only western people around made us the entertainment for everyone that saw us. I think that JoAnn got most of the stares because of her long flowing brown hair.LOL Everyone's hair in China is black.
We returned to pickup our bags from storage and the woman that I paid, was gone and replaced by a guy that wanted me to pay again. After a very tense, loud five minutes, he gave us our bags and we got to the station with five minutes to spare, for the 9 hour ride to Xian.
The big problem in China with the trains is that you can't buy your forwarding tickets before you arrive at your destination. You have to buy your tickets from the station that you are leaving from. We went out on the platform and kept being directed farther and farther to the end of it
JoAnn is having a really hard time with the harking, spitting, belching and farting though
Our nine hour train ride from Pingyao turned into an eleven hour trial. When we got into the train station in Xian it was raining and dark and the touts were rested and anxious for us. I always tell JoAnn, in a loud voice, when we exit into these situations, "Fresh Meat"! Xian has a reputation for the most crooked taxi drivers. After being surrounded by six or seven drivers all yelling at me to use their taxi,I said out loud, "legal taxi, with a meter, guys" They started to mimic me and we all laughed. A separate guy (they call themselves tour guides) after hearing me speak English, ran over and jumped in the front seat of the car and began telling us about all of our hotel options in English
Xian is an international destination and all setup for tourism. Everyone comes to see the Terra Cotta Warriors and even though it was the middle of winter the exhibit was pretty crowded. The funny thing is that it's crowded with Chinese. The Chinese love to travel and visit places in their own country. We saw probably six or seven English speaking tourists and a tour group from India. The exhibit is amazing and huge. Three really large buildings are needed for the stuff that they have excavated so far, and they think there is more
Xian itself was a walled city that was huge. The walls and towers made the ones on Pingyao seem child like. A lot of the walls have been removed for urban development but some towers look almost new. It's a bustling, busy, modern city. It lacks good public transportation but there must be a million bikes on the streets at any given time.
We visited the "Big Goose Pagoda" and were amazed at the height. JoAnn's knee has been bothering her so I climbed the stairs and took some pictures. The gardens were nice and the Buddist stuff is always so much more relaxed and enjoyable to visit. We also visited the Muslem market and Mosque area in Xian and were surprised at how intense they were. There are very few tourists here this time of year so the people selling stuff seemed a little desperate. I bargained there for some warm gloves to use in Tibet. They were some big, thick, Northface fleece mountaineering gloves that the woman was asking 140 yuan. I ended up paying 20 yuan or about $2.40 for them. They only need to last about three weeks until we return to southern China. I also bought this antique brass monkey padlock. You put the key in the monkey's butt to unlock it. It just seemed to strike my funny bone, and at about 75 cents I couldn't resist. JoAnn is always looking for unique high quality items but they seem to be nonexistent. I guess all the tourists just want crap, so that is what the Chinese have to sell. She loves the atmosphere in the market and is always taking pictures of the people and the stuff they are selling.
We left Xian early on the second day and flew to Chengdu. It was only an hour flight and it was a great change from the train. We seem to be traveling fast to get to Tibet because the weather, road conditions, and available flights in and out, are something we are unable to plan for. Getting stuck in Lhasa for an extra week doesn't fit well into our schedule.
We miss everyone and would love to hear from you. How was everyone's Thanksgiving? How is Christmas shaping up? What exciting things are we missing? We send the Travelpod out to almost 100 people each time and get two or three responses. Travelpod tells us that people are reading them. Write and tell us if it's too much, not enough, boring, the wrong type of info, or what you would like to hear. We will try and write what you would like to read. Stay healthy and warm. Very warm wishes.
Don and JoAnn

Thanks, Hostafan1. That is great news!
Not sure if this is a garden plant or a weed. It appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. I potted it up in case it was something worthwhile, but now I'm starting to get twitchy
Hi, LG
I'm pretty sure it is a Cotoneaster. What size is the plant?
I have a Chaenomeles 'Moerloosei', that has been neglected for most of its life.
Many years ago (before I learned that remedial pruning on chaenomeles should be carried out over several years), I pruned it very hard, resulting in masses of long, thin shoots. New clumps of stems have appeared in front of the original plant. Since then, I have neglected it some more..
I now want to reduce the number of main stems and train them on wires, spur-pruning the side shoots, but am concerned that my awful treatment has resulted in a shrub that is beyond hope.
hi wendy - I agree about the lovely first photo. Are they ox-eye daisies?
WARNING! do not read this if you are of a squeamish disposition.
Minos, hope your recovery is not too lengthy or frustrating.
What a sorry litany of misery, pain and embarrassment.
My worst gardening accident happened last spring, when I was shredding some shrub prunings and obviously wasn't concentrating on what I was doing. I was resting a hand on the outside edge of the plastic hopper of the shredder when a particularly inflexible branch that was shaped a bit like a walking stick came down on the third finger of my right hand and rubbed/pulled the fingertip pad away from the fingernail until it was connected only by the skin at the first joint, then neatly folded the nail in half.
Thought I was going to lose the end of the finger, but surgeon managed to save it (including nail). Several months of physio left me with a working finger (if a little stiff and with permanent pins and needles). End of finger looks as though it has been in a pencil sharpener. Fortunately, I'm left-handed.
I was back out in the garden within a couple of days, my right hand heavily bandaged and encased in a plastic bag to keep it clean.
No fool like an old one.
Thanks to all of you for your advice and reassurance. Just off to order a copy of 'Idiot's guide to British weather'
Oops! I must have missed it
Thanks nut and Dove and CG
No frost. I wonder if over-zealous watering might have anything to do with it.
Sorry, it might help if I post the photo

What began has a solid phone with the original Galaxy S (and its variants around the world) has grown into a juggernaut for Samsung, which has topped Apple as the world's largest smartphone manufacturer and which has a device that's the closest to the
Samsung's success comes as all of the other Android makers struggle with selling their devices, or overcoming recent weakness in sales. HTC, LG, Motorola, and Sony have all dealt with challenges over the past year, something Samsung has managed to avoid.
In the U.S., the Galaxy S III is already available for preorder on Amazon for anyone with an extra $800 to burn.
Samsung has said the U.S. versions of the Galaxy S III will show up in the summer, and with a more reasonable subsidized price.
The excitement surrounding the device rides high despite mixed feelings about the design and feel of the phone. Some wonder if Samsung changed the design to get around the various lawsuits Apple has filed against it (Samsung has retaliated with a number of its own lawsuits).
But a Samsung executive told a number of reporters during the 2012 Digital Forum that the design of the Galaxy S III was part of a five-year plan, and not a sudden turnaround. The Verge translated a report from iNews24.

I love the Margo pattern. Your colors are super!
Beautiful bags inside and outside and love the zippers in the them.
Your bags turned out very nice. I have made a couple of these, too! The first one went together really easy but the second one dealt me misery for some reason. I ripped and swore and ripped some more. I just was not seeing the directions right I guess. Finally did get it done though. The zipper does go in so nice when you do it just the way they say. I am sure I will make another one or two soon. And hopefully they will turn out as nice as yours and go together as easy as the first one did for me.
Very pretty, great color choices.
Margo is my favorite! Lazy Girl's are so much fun to make. Excellent patterns.
ooo, I love the pockets. You did a great job. :) I really really like the pattern.
Great bags, great fabric and great picture-taking!!
great purses. love the Lazy Girl patterns, I have several of them.
Oooh, those look terrific! I think this is a pattern that would work for me.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Adoptable Dogs are wonderful dogs who are happy and healthy, but not suited to working for a living. These dogs make loving pets and companions and are looking for their forever home. Adoptable Dogs are placed in the Rogue Valley area of Oregon.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
