Natural Gamma-E Full Spectrum Tocopherols by Allergy Research Group is a convenient source of vitamin E' which is a fat-soluble nutrient that may work to maintain overall well-being in several ways. For instance' vitamin E has antioxidant properties that may allow it to protect your cells from free radical damage; specifically' it can stimulate the activity of an antioxidant enzyme called superoxide dismutase (SOD).
In addition' vitamin E might aid in forming red blood cells' which work to transport oxygen throughout your body. Moreover' this vitamin may help your body utilize vitamin K (a nutrient that manages blood clotting). As a result' Natural Gamma-E Full Spectrum Tocopherols may work to promote optimal cardiovascular function.
Every softgel capsule of Natural Gamma-E Full Spectrum Tocopherols provides a balance of alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol. Although they're similar in many ways' gamma-tocopherol is the only form of vitamin E that's able to fight off a potentially harmful antioxidant called peroxynitrite.
Take one or two softgels once or twice daily with meals. Each 120-softgel bottle of Allergy Research Group's Natural Gamma-E Full Spectrum Tocopherols should last for up to four months at the standard dosage.

Steamboat Springs — Steamboat Springs' Todd Lodwick charged late in Sunday's backcountry.com U.S. Nordic Combined Championships at Soldier Hollow in Park City, Utah, but it wasn't enough.
Park City's own Brett Camerota came across the finish line first, marking his first U.S. Championship title.
After the jumping portion, held at the Utah Olympic Park, Camerota was seeded 1 minute, 14 seconds ahead of Lodwick. Lodwick went into the cross-country portion starting third behind brothers Brett and Eric Camerota.
"After the jump, I knew I would have a little bit of a lead, so that means I would be out there by myself," Brett Camerota said. "My plan was to take the first lap kind of easy and try to have the last lap my fastest because you really don't have anyone to race with. It was good to just hold everyone off."
Lodwick made up ground moving from a third place start to finishing second. Lodwick started 53 seconds behind Eric Camerota. Pressing full steam ahead, he made up the difference in the first lap, going into the second lap in second place.
"It's hard to be disappointed in not winning when you have so many young kids coming up in the program pushing us older guys," Lodwick said. "It's encouraging for the years to come for this program. If I can still compete against the young guys half my age and still have the gusto and drive, then so be it. I'll be out here trying my best every day, but it's nice to see those young kids push us day-in and day-out. It's a testament of the growing program we have in Nordic Combined."
Billy Demong started the race in fifth but let it fly during the roller-ski portion, making up time and places to finish on the podium in third. Demong started 1 minute, 50 seconds behind Brett Camerota and 36 seconds behind Lodwick.
"I haven't been roller-skiing much, but I'm pretty fit coming off a bike race last week," Demong said. "I kind of had to go for it since I jumped so short today. I ended up hanging on for a pretty good time and got on the podium. It was kind of unexpected, but it was a good fight."
Sunday's Nordic Combined competition wrapped up the weekend long 2011 backcountry.com U.S. Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined Championships.

sleeving a 350 engine
OK, so you guys have talked me into getting a 350, haha. A friend of my dads is selling me a low mileage longblock for 300$, however one of the bores needs to be sleeved because of a groove in the side. I am wondering if the engine will still be able to handle a lot of power if this is done (around 450-500 HP)??? I heard that it can't, but I am hoping the person is wrong. Thanks.
A sleeved cylinder will handle that type of power without incident.
"groove in the side" has me a bit confused, try and give a little more detail. If the engine is low mileage where did the groove come from? If your looking to make the power you say you are you won`t do it with stock pieces so you have to ask yourself is it worth $300 plus another $100 for the sleeve job alone and other machine work needed? I`d keep looking.
The groove in the side is from one of the pins that holds the piston to the connecting rod sliding out of place, and grooving into the side of the cylinder. I want to do forged pistons and then a turbo to get that power.
I paid $200 for my standard bore 400. It was already checked by a competent shop for cracks.
Don't buy a screwed up 350 for $300.
If a wrist pin came out I'd be a little suspicious of it not having been rebuilt prior, most of the times I have seen wrist pins work their way out were on poor quality rebuilds where the tec didn't bother to check the interferance fit in the rod
That is too much! You should be able to find a whole 350 motor in your local paper or we have shoppers in Louisiana. Even a junk yard should not charge over a couple hundred for a rebuildable short block Lluciano you are lucky to find your block for that price; I dont know about there but here I looked for two years ti find a good 400, I got mine for $125 but probably like you I did some talking. The 400 is scarce but the 350s are very common , easy to find. Of course its good to know the block you get is in good shape if you can ; like see it runnimg or smoking maybe but thats not always possible. $300 is just too much for a 350 block needing sleeving.
I agree there's nothing wrong with sleeving a block, it'll take the power, but that is too much for a 350 block that needs that kind of work.
yeah sounds like your dad's friend is trying to make a buck on his screw up. SOme friend.
That and I don't know if I'd put a 500 horse 350 in that car for the street. Do you realize that you'll blow the rear, fry the trans and probably twist that unibody up before the day is done? Well, all that and on top of that the car will be virtually undrivable on the street.
Think about it man-
If it is a high output engine, complete with carb., dist, brackets etc. then thats not to bad. I would shop around, you might beat that price.
The sleeve should be no problem if it is done right.
$300.00 is a little high for it I think.Tell him you talked to some "knowledgable friends" and then offer him $200.00.If it is done right the sleeve should hold.I just gave a 350 block away last week that had #1 sleeved.It was taking up valuable room on the garage floor.
A sleeved repair is fine if the damage is within limits. I wouldn't use the block if the damage is so deep that the overbore for for the sleeve would not completely remove it and the block has no cracks. Some people have used sleeves to repair cracks and most times they get away with it for street use. You might have problems finding a machine shop that will sleeve that block. If the block just has some grooving from the wrist pin that's not too bad but I've seen wrist pin damage that was as deep or deeper than the sleeves are thick. Deep but repairable damage makes the cutter of the boring bar make interrupted cuts which is very hard on the cutter. This is why the shop might not want to fix a repairable block.
I have to agree with everyone else. $300 for a damaged block is totally out of line, unless it is really something special.
If you have the time, watch the classifieds.
Often, you can buy an old junker pickup for less than buying a junkyard engine, or block.
I've seem several mid-70's 1/2 ton 4x4's with 10/20 alloy blocks. That extra chromium in the block, will make a difference on ring wear, especially if you are taking about a 500hp turbo engine.

In Girl, 12, Optician Sees A Way To Give Back
By Brian Magoolaghan
Writers sometimes find Rockaway stories at unexpected times in unexpected places - like when they're buying sunglasses in Rockville Centre.
That's where I recently met Nancy Feldman, an optician with 30 years of experience who works at the eye clinic at Peninsula Hospital Center and about 15 other nursing homes and extended care facilities throughout Queens and Long Island.
Feldman, whose maiden name, Mirkin, a name synonymous with eye care in Rockaway, told me about the kind of generous act that you don't often read about as I browsed through the frames at her brother Bruce's shop, Accent on Eyes. (Full disclosure: I buy my glasses and contacts at Mirkin Vision Care in Rockaway and my sunglasses at Accent On Eyes; the Mirkin family has taken care of my eyes since I was a kid.)
Feldman's story started with a discussion among friends that resulted in a New Year's resolution to give back.
"I was trying to think of ways that I could be a better person," she candidly told me this week during a follow-up conversation. "It was on my mind, and then I realized that within my work there are so many opportunities."
It would take less than a month for the right opportunity to present itself.
On January 19, a 12-year-old Edgemere girl came to the eye clinic with her mother - broken glasses in hand. The frames were ruined in a fight at school.
The girl's health insurance wouldn't authorize new frames because it wasn't time for a replacement yet. "They said it was too soon," Feldman explained. That's when the optician decided to make an act of kindness. "I certainly didn't want to see her without glasses, and [her family] said they couldn't afford a pair, so I decided just to make her up a pair."
Today, the girl, whose name we're withholding at her mother's request, has a brand new set of flex-frame glasses with new carbon fiber lenses.
"May daughter is very happy with her glasses," the girl's mother, Madeline, told The Wave on Wednesday. "They look great on her, and she likes them."
Feldman, who was surprised that the story grabbed our attention, admitted that it felt good to help. "But I'm not a hero or anything," she quickly added.

The automated control of machine-tool accuracy is discussed based on a quality architecture containing three control loops: real-time, process-intermittent, and post-process. This paper highlights the post-process loop. The architecture is being implemented at the National Institute of Standards and Technology under the Quality in Automation (QIA) project. At present, active investigation is being carried out for a two-axis turning center. The QIA project emphasizes the measurement and control of process variables to control the quality of the product. However, post-process dimensional measurements of the finished product play a role in the system and may be used for correction of certain variables. The strategy for the post-process loop includes classification schemes for the parameters in the system, for the error diagnostics, and for the error model of the machine tool.

Russia's Novorossiysk Sea Port Reduces Grain-Handling Tariffs
OAO Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port will reduce grain-handling tariffs by as much as 30 rubles (91 cents) a metric ton on July 1 to help farmers boost exports.
The measure is expected to increase the competitiveness of Russian grain on international markets, the company said today in a website statement, citing Rado Antolovich, acting general director of the port. It didn't specify the discounted tariff.
Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port is Russia's largest port operator by freight handling, according to company data. It runs one of two major grain terminals at the Black Sea harbor. The company is held by Russian oil-pipeline operator OAO Transneft and billionaire Ziyavudin Magomedov's Summa Group.

The Michigan Marching Band
Suddenly the entire marching band spins and heads straight towards us. I can't believe those people can move so quickly while carrying their instruments, fiercely playing, and high-stepping faster than I can jog. We hurry. They keep coming. We go faster. They bear down on us, a charging cavalry with thundering drums and flashing metal. When they are quite close and the end of the field is still a mile away, I turn, pick up Ernie, and freeze.
We hold each other tight and wait for a sure collision. But the only crash comes from gigantic cymbals. The band stops on a dime, just yards away, with a roar loud enough to frighten Goliath.
The players disperse. The director is yelling instructions. Apparently practice is over, and we had arrived in midstream of their exit from the field. I set Ernie down on the pavement. We're both wearing huge grins. "Well," I think to myself. "I wanted to get closer."
During football season the band practices at the Hill Street field from 4:45 to 6:15 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Lightroom 2.7: Convert photo to DNG, option delete
My workflow has me importing photos to their final destination using Breeze System's Downloader Pro, then importing in place from there into Lightroom. In LR, I use the library option "Convert Photo to DNG", with the option to delete the original CR2 file. Have done this for a couple years now, and it works great. Or worked great.
I recently outgrew my internal drive, and bought a ReadyNAS+ drive, and I moved my photographs to this device across the network. However, this drive does not support a trashcan, so when I convert the photos to DNG I get an error message. When I don't delete the files it works fine. However, I don't want those CR2 files any longer (I keep them elsewhere).
Any ideas on how I can make the LR option work with a network drive?

I was with his […]
After a few flicks from last night's shoot, DJ Drama now shares footage of the ATLiens shooting the video. Quality Street Music will be up in this bitch soon.

Only some 30 days since its launch NASA's Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT), with key involvement from UK scientists at the University of Leicester, has discovered its first gamma-ray-burst afterglow during its initial activation phase. During its first view of the cosmos it captured a dazzling image of Cassiopeia A, a well-known supernova remnant in the Milky Way galaxy.
"We have a beautiful image of Cassiopeia A in all its fiery glory, and this is just a test," said Prof. David Burrows of Penn State University in the US, the lead scientist for the XRT. "Even more exciting is our discovery of our first X-ray afterglow of a gamma-ray burst, which is exactly what the XRT was designed for. No sooner had we turned this on than 'presto,' we bagged our first gamma-ray burst afterglow."
Prof. Burrows said that the first light and this first afterglow demonstrate that the XRT is working well and that spectacular observations are sure to follow soon.
The XRT is one of three instruments aboard the NASA-led Swift satellite, which was launched on 20 November 2004. The XRT was built at Penn State University with partners at the University of Leicester and the Brera Astronomical Observatory in Italy.
The XRT will help scientists unravel the mystery of gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions known in the universe - emitting more than one hundred billion times the energy that our Sun emits in an entire year. These bursts are common, yet random and fleeting, lasting only a few milliseconds to about a minute. Gamma-ray bursts could signal the birth of a black hole. After the short, bright burst, the remnant of the explosion lingers on for hours or days as an 'afterglow' of X-rays and optical light. Much is still unknown about the causes of gamma-ray bursts, Swift has been eagerly awaited since it was planned in 1998.
A gamma-ray burst will trigger Swift's Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) to autonomously point Swift's XRT and UV/Optical telescopes toward the burst within about a minute. These two telescopes have fine resolution, enabling them to capture the afterglow before it fades away and to reveal details never previously seen.
"Speed is crucial, because clues to what caused the burst may disappear quickly," said Prof. Alan Wells, leader of the XRT development effort at the University of Leicester. "In the past it has taken hours to view the afterglow with a high-quality telescope. Now we'll be on the scene within minutes."
The XRT obtained an accurate position, spectrum and decay light curve of a gamma-ray-burst 'afterglow' for the first time on 23 December.
Dr Julian Osborne, Swift operational phase team leader at Leicester said, "This first GRB data is very exciting for us. The XRT performed beautifully. The results from this observation show that the XRT will provide unprecedented data from the very earliest phases of the GRB afterglow. We are looking forward to a wealth of new information about black hole creation, stellar death and the early Universe."
While the Cassiopeia A image is pretty, this was just a first test for the XRT. The telescope's full-time job will be capturing images and spectra of explosions far beyond the Milky Way galaxy, some farther than 12 billion light years.
The XRT will perform two important functions. First, it will pinpoint the location of the gamma-ray burst. The BAT gets close, but the XRT nails the location down because of its fine resolution. This information is sent immediately to scientists around the world - including UK astronomers using facilities such as the Faulkes Telescopes in Hawaii and Australia, the William Herschel and Liverpool Telescopes in La Palma and the European Southern Observatory's suite of telescopes in Chile - so that they can study the afterglow while it is still bright.
Next, the XRT collects spectra of the afterglow to reveal the nature of the explosion. They show the amount of X-ray light at different wavelengths, and can contain information about the type, temperature, velocity, and range of energies of the atoms in the regions surrounding the burst and also can provide a measure of how long ago in the early universe the gamma-ray burst actually occurred.
Scientists also hope to use the XRT to observe the afterglow of short bursts, less than two seconds long. Such afterglows have not yet been seen, and it is not clear whether they exist. Scientists think there are at least two kinds of gamma-ray bursts: longer ones (more than ten seconds) that generate afterglows and that seem to be caused by massive star explosions; and shorter ones that may be caused by mergers of black holes or neutron stars. The XRT will help rule out various theories and scenarios.
Background Notes
The XRT is a prime example of the value of international collaboration in reducing costs and bringing additional expertise and instrument technology to a NASA-lead mission. The Brera Astronomical Observatory supplied the X-ray mirror that images the X-ray sky. The University of Leicester provided system-design expertise and hardware for the telescope, particularly the camera system that detects the X-rays. Penn State provided the electronics and telescope tube, and is responsible for controlling the XRT in flight. The University of Leicester is also providing a UK Swift Science Data Centre.
Swift is a medium-class explorer mission managed by NASA Goddard. This is a NASA mission with participation of the Italian Space Agency and the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council in the United Kingdom. It was built in collaboration with national laboratories, universities and international partners, including Penn State University in Pennsylvania U.S.A.; Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico U.S.A.; Sonoma State University in California U.S.A.; the University of Leicester in Leicester, England; the Mullard Space Science Laboratory in Dorking, Surrey, England; the Brera Observatory of the University of Milan in Italy; and the ASI Science Data Center in Rome, Italy.

Figure Caption: First-light image from the Swift X-ray Telescope, of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant. This object is the remnant of a gigantic stellar explosion that occurred in about 1680. The explosion heated the surrounding gas and the remnants of the star to temperatures of several million degrees Celsius. The hot gas has been expanding and cooling for the past 325 years. This image is a true X-ray color image: the lowest X-ray energies are shown in red, the medium energies are in green, and the highest energies are in blue. The bright green filaments are rich in silicon, while red portions are dominated by emission from iron. Supernova remnants like this are responsible for producing much of the material that makes up most of Earth-like planets and for mixing these "heavy" elements into the interstellar gas, where they can form new generations of stars and planets. The image demonstrates that the XRT is working as designed and can perform its job of imaging spectroscopy of astrophysical objects, including the gamma-ray bursts that it was designed to study.
UK Role in Swift
The UK role in Swift has been to provide core elements of the narrow field instruments (the X-ray telescope and the UV/Optical telescope), utilising mature technology already developed for the ESA XMM-Newton mission, and the JeT-X instrument.
University of Leicester
Lead role in the X-ray telescope design, focal plane camera assembly and X-ray design (using past experience from JET-X and XMM-Newton). The UK SWIFT Science DATA Centre, at Leicester, will provide an archive of all SWIFT data, with open access for the wider UK astronomical community.
Mullard Space Science Laboratory, UCL
The major part of the UV/Optical telescope was constructed at MSSL using designs and expertise from the XMM-Newton Optical Monitor.

Investigation of Boron Combustion for its Application in air Augmented Rockets
- K. SchadowAffiliated withDeutsche Forschungsanstalt für Luft- und Raumfahrt
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
During the past years different types of air-augmented rockets has been receiving increased emphasis. This presentation is related with the ducted type of air-augmented rocket for missions of long distance at low altitude. In the ducted rocket, ram-air is introduced into a secondary chamber where subsonic turbulent mixing and burning will occur with the fuel-rich exhaust of a primary chamber. A second nozzle is provided for acceleration of the product gases to supersonic velocity. Propellants with boron are attractive for air-augmentation because of their high density and high heat of reaction with oxygen. From the standpoint of volumetric energy release it is desirable to maximize the boron content in the propellant of the primary chamber (up to 70% by weight). However, the theoretical gain in specific impulse can, of course, only be attained with efficient boron combustion.
In a short review of specific literature it will be shown that the conditions for boron-particle ignition and efficient combustion are poor (in comparison to aluminium particles, for example) and not yet well understood. Therefore combustion studies of propellants heavily loaded with boron are necessary in order of developing air-augmented rockets with high combustion efficiency.
In the following results of an experimental research program will be presented which has been performed at the U.S. Naval Weapons Center to study the combustion behavior of boron propellants. An experimental apparatus will be described which permits the observation of the boron-combustion zone in the secondary chamber through quartz windows. During the tests the combustion efficiency can be controlled by c*-efficiency measurements and particle-sampling probes. The primary rocket motor is burning gaseous hydrogen-gaseous oxygen-boron mixture, so that the boron-particle temperature in the primary rocket can be easily varied by changing the hydrogen/oxygen mixture ratio.
By increasing the primary chamber temperature from 750 K to 2000 K there is a considerable change in the boron-combustion behavior (demonstrated by color cinephotography) and an increase of the overall reaction efficiency from 0.85 to 0.95. The same effect of increased combustion efficiency can be demonstrated by boron-particle sampling in the exhaust of the secondary chamber. These results show that the initial boron-particle temperature in the primary rocket should exceed a certain temperature before the particle makes contact with the air in the secondary chamber.
Considering a propellant with oxidizer, fuel, and boron, the temperature of the boron particles in the primary chamber has to be established by the oxidizer-fuel matrix if one assume that the boron does not start to burn violently in the primary motor (this assumption is well established for propellant heavily loaded with boron). Therefore the primary combustion temperature (computed with no boron reacting) becomes an important criterion for determining propellant compositions for air-augmented application. This requirement of high primary chamber temperature, of course, has to be optimized with other propellant and motor conditions. So an increase in primary chamber temperature is followed by a decrease in specific impulse. Results of a theoretical program will be shown in which the thermodynamic data of different propellants are computed in order to optimize the requirements of high primary chamber temperature and high specific impulse.

So, I deducted a star because these cookies are pretty bland and not fabulous tasting. However, they are genuinely healthy, containing fiber and very, very little sugar. They were also quite satisfying and the texture is nice. It was just the mild vanilla flavor that was a little bland for me, but dip them in coffee or decaf for a huge improvement.

Is being awarded the Purple Heart or having served in Vietnam qualification enough for becoming Secretary of Defense?
Often, when the background and qualifications of Chuck Hagel for the job of Secretary of Defense are discussed, the fact that he served in Vietnam and earned two Purple Hearts has become one of the major talking points presented by his supporters.
Now in no way do I minimize the military service of the former Senator and in fact admire it greatly, but here are some facts.
- The number of Purple Hearts awarded to Vietnam War veterans numbers approximately 351,794.
- Chris Dorner, the cop-killing subject of the most massive manhunt in California history was also a Vietnam vet.
My simplistic point is that this rationale being given as any part of the reason for why Chuck Hagel should be confirmed as Secretary of Defense is utterly ridiculous!

Madden NFL 25 Game Overview
Madden NFL 25 is many things, but it's far from being a simple game for knuckle-draggers to button mash. Madden NFL 25 requires an understanding of offensive and defensive formation plays as well as calling audible commands to change the play before the ball is hiked. Madden NFL 25 delivers several throw-control commands to the quarterback, a range of movements for the ball handler, and optional techniques for defenders. In other words, this is a game for people who immerse themselves in the platform and memorize commands.
To get you ready for the game, Madden NFL 25 offers the Skills Trainer interactive tutorial – a new addition to the Madden NFL franchise. Included are four key football drills that help prepare you for a full game, which include: Precision Modified Running, Total Control Passing, The Option, and Ball Hawk. Mastering the Precision Modified Running and Option drills will give players the most control as the ball carrier, and put you at an advantage over opponents who use only the basic functions and responses. There's a learning curve, but nobody gets to the top by sleeping through class.
Madden NFL 25 Run Free – Unlock the power, precision and creativity of an NFL ball carrier. Utilize the brand-new precision modifier to call up the perfect move for almost any situation.
- Precision Modifier – Unleash 30 new moves with the perfect combination of speed, power and elusiveness.
- Combos – For the first time ever execute combo moves including truck spins, juke spins and more.
If you're new to the Madden genre, you might be enticed to jump right in and play some football. It's possible to do this, but just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be. Single-player solo challenges and exhibition games are the best way to learn Madden NFL 25, but even then it will take many games before you begin to understand the depth of these new features and controls. Prior to this review I had never played any of the Madden games, so it took me over a dozen hours before I had mastered the basic "Run Free" techniques to activate Precision Modifiers and pull off combo movements.
Madden NFL 25 goes to great lengths to include accurate names, photo portraits, and statistics for all of the players and coaches active in the NFLPA up to the 2013 season. In addition to current-season players, over fifty NFL player and coaching legends join their ranks. Practice the option game with Russell Wilson or Colin Kaepernick, Run Free with the likes of Ray Rice and Randall Cobb, and check out the all-new Force Impact System with Patrick Willis and the feared Seahawks secondary.
Depending on your game mode, experience points (XP) may be earned by completing practices and playing in games. XP is used to upgrade capabilities with the Player Progression tool, found in Connected Franchise. Player Progression allows you to automatically progress your team's capabilities using each player's XP to purchase new skills, or you can manually progress star players and individually auto-progress others (or auto-progress the entire remainder of your team). You can build them better, faster, stronger… and worth more when it comes time to trade.
Gameplay is split between an offline single-player environment, and online multiplayer action. There's easily enough variety and challenge from the CPU, which can be tweaked from the default 50% power to something more formidable within Game Settings, but if you enjoy the pride of victory over human competitors then Online Season play will deliver the opportunity to earn bragging rights (or rage-quitting temper tantrums). Just remember, if you're on the Internet, anything goes, and most online players have enjoyed the Madden NFL game series for years. Only the experienced players with thick skin need apply.
Madden Infinity Engine 2 – Year 2 of the award-winning Infinity Engine brings more polished physics and the introduction of the Force Impact system.
- Physics – Real-time physics and the Force Impact system allows users to feel the big plays on offense and defense; with big hits, stiff-arms and truck moves which provide a more realistic and satisfying feeling than ever before.
- Running Game Improvements – Madden NFL 25 offers a suite of improvements to the running game, including hard run cutting for direction changes, improved run blocking and new ball carrier avoidance behavior that allows runners to automatically move around blockers and prevent inadvertent collisions. Furthermore, utilize the new stumble recovery to fight gravity as you scramble for extra yards.
- Defense – New tackle pursuit angles and "breakdown" behavior create a more authentic defensive experience. Recover quickly when caught out of position to get back into the play, and utilize heat-seeker tackling and more accurate dive tackles to make the play.


text: Websites, bloggers, and hikers alike all rate Angel Falls as one of the best waterfall hikes in Maine.According to Rangeley native Stephen Richard, "It's really nice. I highly recommend it for anybody from away who's never been there. Even the locals like to go out there once in a while just to get away and do something different."I made the trek to the western mountains of the state to witness the beauty of Angel Falls. The trailhead leading to the falls was located about 20 miles south of Rangeley. Getting to the trailhead, though, was no easy task. Navigating some logging roads proved to be a dusty, rocky and rough venture. Definitely a job for an all-wheel-drive vehicle with off-road capabilities."All right, so here we are at the Angel Falls trailhead, marked by red blazes on the trees. We'll be following these red blazes throughout the entirety of the hike, telling us which way to go.""Here we've reached our first impasse. Time to cross a stream. It looks like there are some rocks that we can climb over. You see the red blaze on the other side, indicating that this is the correct trail we are following. We're not lost…yet. And we will be following that the whole way across the stream so let's see if we can find a few rocks to step on and keep as dry as we can.""We're looking for red blazes. They're actually just up that way, but I can definitely hear something. Let me take a look to see what we're coming up against here. Looks like a pretty nice stream. A lot of rocks so we should be able to skip across some of the rocks just like we did at the last stream.""Here it is, April, and we still see a little patch of ice on the trail. I'm sure for this time of year we would typically see a lot more ice than this but still pretty cool to see that, especially after some of the warm weather we saw in March and even earlier in April.""We just crossed the stream a third time, now it's time to cross the stream, that's right, a fourth time. See the red blaze here? The next one is back over there. This doesn't look like it will be too bad. Definitely some rocks to step across.""First glimpse of what we're about to see and I think we're in for a real treat. That is incredible, especially something towering so high while we're down here. That's about 90 feet up there. Incredible."The easy to moderate level hike paid off with a gorgeous reward at the end. I now understand why this waterfall was named Angel Falls. With the way the water hits the rocks on the way down, it resembled an angel's wings. The rays of sunlight shining through the gentle mist of one of Maine's tallest waterfalls only added to the beauty of this secluded canyon.Well, there you have it. Angel Falls: easily one of the most beautiful and, as you can see, mystical, places in the Pine Tree State. It's probably one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen. I wanted to thank the folks at mainetrailfinder.com. They had a lot of information concerning the trail and how to find this place in the western mountains of the state – just an absolutely beautiful experience. Coming up next week on Roaming Rob, we'll check out some more of Maine's most mystical waterfalls!For more information on waterfall hikes in the state, check out:www.mainetrailfinder.com

We appreciate your interest in West Virginia University Institute of Technology. As you consider where you will pursue your degree, it is never too early to begin thinking about how you will finance your education.
At WVU Tech, getting a high-quality, career focused education is more affordable than you may think. By applying for admission to WVU Tech, you are automatically considered for our very attainable, valuable scholarship opportunities. The information below is an overview of our West Virginia Resident, first-year and transfer student scholarships.
Simply apply for admission. WVU Tech does not charge an application fee, so investing in a brighter future will only cost you a few minutes of your time.
In addition to assessing your eligibility for scholarships and grants, our financial aid staff will examine a variety of options to make the WVU Tech experience affordable. These include, but are not limited to:
|Program Level
|Yearly Amount
|4-Year Commitment
|Minimum Incoming Freshmen Academic Requirements
|Overall High School GPA
|ACT Score (SAT Equivalent)
|Level 1
|Level 2
|Level 3
The above awards are renewable for up to 4 years. First time freshmen and transfer students with less than 30 credit hours must have at least a 3.0 gpa in the college level courses. GED recipients should have at least a combined score of 3100 (620 average), to be considered for freshmen scholarships. Students must meet the following renewal criteria:
Minimum of 30 completed credit hours per academic year (including summer term), and a 3.0 overall GPA.
Please Note: ACT Composite score, SAT Mathematics and Critical Reading only/Mathematics plus Evidence Based Reading and Writing (New SAT)
Renewable for up to 4 years. Students must meet the following renewal criteria: Minimum of 30 completed credit hours per academic year including summer term, and a 2.5 overall GPA.
Please Note: ACT Composite score, SAT Mathematics and Critical Reading only/Mathematics plus Evidence Based Reading and Writing (New SAT)
The award is renewable for 2-years based on student's continuing status with a minimum of 30 completed credit hours per academic year including summer term and a 3.0 overall GPA.
The WVU Tech Dependent Employee Scholarship was established to assist legally dependent children (based on federal income tax returns) of benefit-eligible employees. Students wishing to be considered must be enrolled full-time as undergraduates or admitted freshmen or transfer students on the WVU Tech campus. Selection is based on objective academic criteria and family income information. If chosen, the minimum award is $500 per year and the maximum is $1,650 per year. Read through the eligibility requirements and complete the application to be considered for the scholarship.
All WVU Tech academic scholarships are tuition, programmatic fee, housing and meal plan specific. The ACT score considered is the composite score and SAT score counts for critical reading and mathematics. Scholarship funds will not be applied towards books, or other fees. Full-time, degree seeking students can only receive one institutional academic scholarship.
Transfer students eligibility will be reviewed with counting in-progress grades towards the total completed.
Student's eligibility will be re-checked with information on the final transcript and scholarship offers may be rescinded if requirements are no longer met.
Nondegree, readmit, and second degree seeking students are not eligible for scholarships. Students in Career Technical Education and Regent's bachelor programs and students in certificate programs do not qualify for the awards.
Students, who lose their scholarship during their career at WVU Tech, have the ability to earn the award back by meeting the renewal standards the next academic year. Each year a student is enrolled at WVU Tech takes away a year of eligibility for the scholarship.
Subject to change: Because of the nature of institutional guidelines affecting financial aid programs, the information outlined in this publication is subject to change.

"Daijobu, kitto ashita wa dekiru(It's going to be alright, you'll be able to do it tomorrow)" will not be released. The book was scheduled to be on sale on Feb. 8th. However, Asada and the publisher both announced on their websites that the book will not be released. Asada's statement: (rough translation) This book was planned to be a message to you through my skating career and we have been working on this for more than an year. However, because the way it was being promoted was not what I had in mind, I have decided to not release this book. I deeply apologize for the people who were looking forward to reading it and I ask for your kind understanding.

Pressure mounting to dump Steele? Update: Dems mock Steele, GOP with "I'm sorry, Rush" website
posted at 7:12 pm on March 3, 2009 by Allahpundit
Not really — or rather, not yet — but between stumbling into a fight with the hero of the base and making himself a late-night punchline for finding "hipness" in moldy slang, the ice beneath his feet is starting to crack. The RNC chair ideally needs to be good on TV and good at ingratiating himself with grassroots conservatives and their pocketbooks, and so far he's been terrible at both. And don't think people haven't noticed:
Several Republican advisers to Congress and the previous Bush administration told Whispers that they are worried that the war of words is fracturing the party when it should be healing the division between conservatives and moderates in the wake of the 2008 election.
"What is amazing is that Steele was elected because of his communications skills, and it is those skills that are damaging the Republican Party. Before people begin to completely judge him as worthless, Steele needs to focus and knuckle down on building a strong foundation at RNC so we can begin rebuilding our majority," says a top GOP strategist who has worked for House and Senate Republican leaders. "If his implosion continues, RNC members are likely to call a special session to dump him for an effective chairman. There is not much patience for failure."…
"At this point, it is as if he has a fundamental misunderstanding of the job description. An RNC chairman who attacks Republicans and insults conservative icons is about as counterproductive as any Democrat could hope for," says the adviser.
The party's not going to scramble to oust its first black chairman, but if Steele goes on embarrassing himself he'll become very easy to ignore, which will destroy his "change" mandate. When he called Rush out on D.L. Hughley's show and labeled himself the de facto head of the GOP, I assumed it was his way of asserting himself; it was a foolish thing to do given the risk it posed to fundraising, but if he'd stood by his criticism it would have been a show of authority at least insofar as it proved he had the balls to take on Rush and not back down. Instead, he groveled right away. Like I said yesterday, lose/lose. Pull it together, chief.
Update: He knelt before Zod, and now the Democrats are laughing at him.

A group of lawmakers has proposed legislation that seeks to update Maine's existing law governing the reporting and discipline of health care providers with addiction problems.
Rep. Jane Pringle, a retired primary care physician who is serving her first term in the Main House, and six other legislators sponsored LD 411, an act that aims to amend the health care practitioner licensing, disciplinary and reporting laws regarding alcohol and drug abuse.
The legislation calls for updating certain terminologies in the Maine Health Security Act — replacing the term "habitual drunkenness" with "use of alcohol or drugs that may indicate a substance abuse disorder" — to appropriately reflect that substance abuse is a disease, Bangor Daily News reports.
Pringle said she sponsored the bill at the request of the Maine Medical Association, which represents about 3,800 physicians, medical residents and students in the state.
LD 411 would also allow licensing boards to take action if a medical professional's alcohol or drug use "may" endanger a patient. Under the current law, licensing boards are only authorized to discipline a medical professional when their alcohol or drug use "is foreseeably likely to" endanger the health or safety of the patients.
Rep. Victoria Kornfield, a Bangor Democrat who co-sponsored the bill, said in a statement that the bill would provide the public transparency and give Maine's licensing board the "flexibility they need to ensure public safety."

With the 2006 Rule 5 Draft looming, the San Francisco Giants purchased the contracts of relief pitcher Osiris Matos and infielder Eugenio Velez. The two players were added to the Giants 40-Man Roster and will not be eligible to be selected in the Rule 5 draft in December.
Velez, 24, was selected by the Giants in the Minor League portion of the 2005 Rule 5 draft, from the Toronto Blue Jays. While considered old for the league, Velez put together a year that was not even close to the performance he had in previous years. Repeating Class-A ball, but in a different league, Velez hit .315, had 29 home runs, 20 triples and 14 home runs, in addition to 64 stolen bases, and won the South Atlantic League Most Valuable Player award.
Matos, 22, spent most of the year repeating the South Atlantic League. Matos had a 4.99 ERA in 22 starts in 2005, but worked exclusively as a reliever in 2006. He had a 1.76 ERA in 44 games, and picked up 13 saves. He had 81 strikeouts in 61.1 innings, with just 12 walks. He was promoted to Double-A and had a 3.72 ERA in 6 appearances at the end of the year.
With the move, the Giants have 33 players on their 40 Man roster, with the bulk of free agency remaining.
The Rule 5 Draft allows teams to select players from other teams if they have been in the minors for a number of years. The new Collective Bargaining Agreement extended the number of years before players are eligible for the draft. Players who are selected in the Major League portion are required to stay on a team's 25 Man active roster, otherwise, they must be returned to their former team.

What is this piece/section called?
1 Attachment(s)
I know this is a dumb question - but I have no idea what to refer to this as. Please look at the photo and tell me what the proper term for the item in the circle.
I have one of these that has deteriorated and the previous owner covered it with a half a$$ed trim coil job.
also - is this a job for a roofer or siding guy or both? as you can tell from the photo - the siding is currently being done with the roof to be done next.
It's pretty small image and hard to see but I think a cornice is the proper term.
Thanks for the quick reply... i had a hight resoultion image that i had to shrink the heck out of to get it posted.
do they sell replacment sections or is this something that is built on site?
I agree with joed, it's a cornice return
usually built on-site
May want to rebuild it with vinyl crown mounting next time so it will not rot.
More a job for a carpenter then a roofer.
Jpg images usually are smaller file sizes and work better than bmp for posting.
Depends on the type of siding you have, I would replace it rather than repair it.
More importantly, however, any siding guys should know how to solve your problem... Sometimes, it is a special order product and they just install it as a finish piece.

Apr 17, 2013 - By Steven R. PeckThe Boston attackers made the worst kind of trouble
On Tuesday, trying to keep worried citizens calm, no doubt, an official in Boston who had some reason to comment publicly about Monday's bombing near the finish line of the Boston Marathon noted that the human toll of the incident was no worse than "a very bad bus accident."
No offense intended, but that is a bureaucrat for you. Technically, he wasn't wrong. In terms of coroner trucks and ambulances, a bus that blew a tire and tipped over in highway traffic would have registered about the same on the cash register receipt, so to speak, as the explosions did in Boston.
But as we say in the news game, while this official's remark was true, it wasn't accurate. Everyone knows this was something bigger.
A taxicab driver the following morning told one newspaper reporter, "They just want to make us scared. I say no to that," he added in a heavy Caribbean accent. "Not in this country."
He may have hit on the difference between the Boston bombings and the bus wreck mentioned by the bureaucrat. After a bus crash, bystanders don't flee the scene in terror. They don't fear that another bus crash suddenly might occur. They can see what happened, understand it, assign scale and perspective to it. A wave of bus wrecks that might harm them isn't one of their fears.
But in Boston, after the two bombs ripped through a cheery spectator area near the race's finish line, killing three people and injuring scores of others, the impact was far different.
There were thousands of people in the immediate vicinity. They began running wildly, not really knowing where to go. Word of the blasts --both fact and rumor --spread quickly, adding to the confusion and fear.
There have been two bombs in two places. Will there be more? Where? When? What if the next one is right there in that backpack, or right under my feet in that manhole, or in the back of that food service truck? What if the place I am running toward is the place where the next bomb is?
These so-called "soft targets" are a huge worry for law-enforcement and anti-terrorism leaders. With tens of thousands of people gathered for a marathon race, or a St. Patrick's Day parade, or a college football game, it simply isn't possible to secure the site. We must rely on the orderly behavior of each other, and in those circumstances, even a 99.9 percent success rate might not be enough to prevent a pressure cooker filled with glass and nails to be detonated in a crowd.
News accounts of Monday's bombings carried a standard piece of journalistic boilerplate to the effect of "authorities said there is no clear motive for the attack." That line always seems incongruous. No clear motive? Who are they kidding?
The motive is absolutely clear. It was not to kill that specific 8-year-old boy named Martin who was sliced to pieces by flying metal. No, the motive was to wreak havoc, to cause disturbance, to generate unrest, fear, uncertainty, loss of confidence and control.
We might as well question the common vandal. What was his motive for breaking that window? Simple. To break the window. To cause trouble.
In Boston that is just what happened. The vandals were there, but with something more powerful than a can of spray paint or a rock aimed at a window. Their act was one of vandalism, however, both physical and societal.

El Gossip / Jul. 03, 2012 / by Redacción-InFragantiMagazine / 0 Comments
Actor Eddie Murphy, 51 and BET's "106 and Park" host Rocsi Diaz, 28, are a couple.
Saturday night at CEO Debra Lee's pre-BET Awards celebration the couple arrived hand in hand on the red carpet.
The two arrived in matching shades of blue outfits and posed for the photographers looking very close and happy.
Rumors swirled that the couple was dating in June when Diaz accompanied Murphy and his kids on a family vacation in Maui, Hawaii.
In May, the couple was seen in Los Angeles having coffee together but has kept their relationship very low-key.
Diaz who is moving onto new ventures, announced in May that she was leaving "106 and Park." She might need her new beau's help as she pursues her new acting career according to the New York Post.
Murphy has eight kids from previous relationships. Five of them are from ex-wife Nicole Mitchell, a son with Tamara Hood, a son with Paulette McNeely and a daughter with former Spice Girl Melanie Brown.
His most recent ex-girlfriend was singer Toni Braxton, 44. His ex-wife Mitchell is scheduled to appear in VH1's upcoming series "Hollywood Exes," so we'll have to see what she says about the new couple.

SMELLING SORTS: What if we could capture smells as easily as we capture photos, especially since they're so evocative? Designer Amy Radcliffe is working on a smell camera she calls the Madeleine. A funnel covers the object whose scent should be captured, while a pump sucks the air across an odour trap. The trap's made of a porous polymer resin that captures the volatile particles that make up the smell. Then a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer processes the particles and produces a graph-like formula that represents the smell. The precise odour can then be reproduced artificially, and the graph recorded for posterity. It'll be a while before this all happens in your smartphone though.
COOKED BY SUNSHINE: Here's one for the caravan: the SunOven. The SunOven is a small oven in a box, and with reflector panels to catch the sun.
Put the food in, close the glass door and point the insulated box towards the sun. Adjust the position every 30 minutes or so to allow for the sun's movement and after a while the food is cooked. Temperatures inside the box reach around 175 C. The direct sunlight is what counts, rather than outside temperature, so the oven can cook year round. The oven doesn't get hot on the outside and folds up to the size of a small suitcase. There's a new challenge for the TV cooking competitions.
EYES FRONT: It can be enormously useful to have a GPS in the car to help you figure out how to get to where you're going. Attaching it in the best place to see it can be a problem though. The Garmin HUD avoids that problem by projecting directions onto a transparent film on the windshield or an attached reflector lens so drivers can keep their eyes on the road. The HUD receives its navigation information from a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, and displays turn arrows, distance to the next turn, current speed and speed limit, as well as estimated time of arrival. The smartphone or a Bluetooth connected speaker can also play spoken turn by turn directions. You still have to secure the projector to the dash though.
THE SUGAR SCAN: Medical workers may inject someone with radioactive material before an MRI scan to detect cancerous tumours. But radioactive materials are never a good thing, so how about if they could be replaced by sugar? Scientists at the University College of London realised that to sustain their growth tumours consume much more glucose than normal healthy tissues. Then they tuned an MRI scanner to be more sensitive to glucose uptake and found that tumours appeared as bright images on MRI scans of mice. This finding could mean people who need more scans than most can avoid the additional exposure to radiation. See, sugar can be good for you.
HOLE IN TWO: Imagine a window with holes in it. The holes let air in, but keep noise out, meaning inner city dwellers could enjoy fresh air without having to hear the traffic. South Korean researchers designed a sound resonance chamber that stops sound from passing through. The way sound moves within the chamber and small holes in the walls allows sound in but strongly attenuates it before it can get out. meanwhile the holes allow air to pass through freely. Tests using a wall of building blocks made in this way showed sound levels reduced by 20 to 35 decibels over a sound range of 700 Hz to 2,200 Hz. The researchers say that changing the size of the holes could tune the windows to screen out only certain frequencies, perhaps blocking out machinery noise while letting in the sound of the ocean. Now, about the car fumes for those inner city dwellers …

Currently, prenatal diagnosis of genetic diseases and genetic monitoring of fetal development require invasive procedures. New data generated by Jill Maron and colleagues, at Tufts -- New England Medical Center, Boston, has indicated that it might be possible to perform these processes non-invasively.
In the study, it was shown that a common pattern of fetal mRNAs, the molecules that hold the "blueprints" for proteins, was detectable in the blood of pregnant women. After birth, these mRNAs were no longer detected or were detected at substantially lower levels.
These data have two important implications: first, the common pattern of fetal mRNAs found in the blood of the pregnant women could serve as a baseline to compare fetuses affected by various pathologic conditions; and second, monitoring specific fetal mRNAs in the blood of pregnant women could be used for prenatal diagnosis of genetic diseases.

Porn Actor Died After Being Tased Twice by Cops, Star Marland Anderson's Autopsy is Pending
Celebrity Crime Beat LA - Hollywood porn star Marland Anderson has died after an encounter with police in Los Angeles.
The actor, who went by his onscreen name Sledge Hammer, was tasered by police earlier this month after they were dispatched for a disturbance.
An autopsy is pending, reports City News Service.
According to LA Weekly, the wild scene that sadly ended with his death all started with a phone call to police from his porn star sweetheart.
The report adds:
"Anderson's girlfriend, performer Alexa Cruz, told Xbiz she called 911 that Sunday (April 8) to report that he was having a severe anxiety attack.
She said Anderson had a knife and she wanted to prevent him from hurting himself. In a struggle for the knife she said she cut her finger accidentally."
The police arrived and here is how the LA Times reports what happened next:
"(Anderson) was then handcuffed to a gurney by police for transportation in an ambulance. Once inside the ambulance, Neiman said, Anderson tried to stand up, but acted with such force that he broke the gurney free from a floor lock and broke the handcuff.
To restrain Anderson, an officer then used a Taser but it failed to stop the agitated actor, Neiman said. Several officers eventually managed to restrain Anderson, Neiman said. He was taken to a hospital, where he died Friday morning, Neiman said."
He was only 39 years old.
More details and other theories on how he really may have died here at LA Weekly.
