Entering the From, To and optionally a Via port name is made easy with the use of drop down lists which automatically complete the port name as you type. Complex voyages involving calls at a number of ports can easily be setup with the Route Builder, each leg of the voyage having it's own set of routing options. The Port Selector assists in locating the name of the port with the ability to restrict the list displayed to those where the name contains a specified word or where the port is located within a designated area of the map. In addition, the grid display can be sorted on any column and the contents filtered to show only those which match certain criteria.

My Testimony…
That's me at barely 17 up there. Before life had even begun, really. Or so it seems now. I'm so thankful for the upbringing I had and the legacy of faith my parents laid the ground work for in my life.
A very large part of who I am involves my faith and my desire to live my life for my Savior.
I am a Christ follower. I believe that God the Father gave His precious Son for my sin… and yours.
I grew up in a good Christian home, daughter to a Christian School Teacher. I made a "profession of faith" when I was only four but really began to doubt the decision was "real" at age 9. I remembered so very little about it.
My church had begun showing the BJU Press Films every Saturday night, and I really began to be convicted at the reality shown on the screen that I was not genuinely saved.
We've been married 12 years now and have added three crazy kids to the mix. Looking back I remember my feelings in those worry-some days right after college, and I feel so blessed.
Our Church is an important part of our family life. We've chosen to worship at a place of fellow believers with the same desire of our hearts… to serve God and to raise our children to love and serve Him as well.
John 3:16… For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have EVERLASTING life!

Thanks Mnementh!! I was wondering if anyone had those woot off! pictues from may...
someone was asking for these pictures, so I bumped them up

Dammit, I liked it.

This is the best Woot thread ever.
BTW. The above picture was taken from an item during a Woot Off. It was titled something like "The Brave Woman Adventure Set". It had a pretty hillarious description.
Thanks for the Brave Woman pics, especially the one of her on the game box with Lucy. It gave me an idea for a birthday for a friend whoe loves Lucy. ( You can find that game on ebay, BTW.)

Supposedly, the original picture was of a woman testing a chair at a garage sale. In October, 2004, the picture made its way to the now-defunct site monkeyvault.com and people Photochopped it. Woot had a woot-off soon after and the image detail for each product was a Brave Woman picture.
Where all BW chops go to die...
Has the Woot community ever been introduced to Brave Woman 2.0, or has this been intentionally avoided?
Some of the pictures are missing, sadly. Mnementh, if you saved the pictures and not just the links we should figure out some way to get permanent hosting.

From the moment live racing begins in mid-May til the end of the season in late September, I can be found watching the horses at Monmouth Park, although I don't always watch from the same location.

Milwaukee Author Barbara Manger Releases e-Book of Her Soft-Cover Book, Riding Through Grief
After receiving numerous notes of appreciation for her printed Riding Through Grief soft-cover book released last October, Author Barbara Manger announced that an e-book version of it is now available through amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, itunes.apple.com, and other websites.
In the highly acclaimed Riding Through Grief book, Manger of Milwaukee, Wis., shares how her family coped when her beloved son, Matt, died in a sudden bicycle accident in Chicago at 29 years of age. In a recent interview, she said: "Many individuals – more than most people might think – experience the sudden and unexpected death of a loved one. While there is no particular 'right way' to deal with this devastating kind of reality," she stated, "learning how other families have coped can help those grieving find their own path to healing."
The book's exploration of grief and loss describes her son as a lively young man and details the incredible struggles of the other family members to cope with the shock when they learned of his death. Their immediate challenges included planning the funeral, facing a continuing struggle to accept his death, and then finding meaningful ways to honor their memory of him.
Those ways included friends and family participating in a bicycle procession through the streets of Chicago to chain a "ghost bike" at the site of Matt's accident; placing a hand-carved stone bearing his name at his favorite camping spot in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and then holding a tearful but helpful farewell ritual; and, with the aid of volunteers, constructing a shelter in Matt's memory for hikers on the North Country National Scenic Trail in Michigan, a place Matt had dearly loved.
Manger says in the book, "Those and other events were significant to our renewal and return to life, not as we had known it, but as a new chapter without our son's physical presence. By reviewing Matt's life and writing about how we coped, I found a profound gratitude for the life that was his. During the three years I was writing the book, mostly just to examine Matt's life and help my own feelings and recovery, I began to think that what we were doing as a family to deal with the painful struggle of losing Matt and living without him could be helpful to others. That motivated me even further to complete the book and share it with others."
"My hope is that this book will bring peace to others still trudging through the dark tunnel of grief."
Barbara Manger's e-book edition of Riding Through Grief, priced at $2.99, is now available for the Kindle, the Nook, and ibooks: Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/ Riding-Through-Grief-Barbara-Manger-ebook/dp/B00J9V1SP2, Nook: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/riding-through-grief-barbara-manger/1117164623, and iBooks: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/riding-through-grief/id869591964?mt=11.
Soft-cover books of Riding Through Grief may also still be obtained at amazon.com and Boswell Book Company in Milwaukee and through Boswell's website, http://boswell.indiebound.com/search/apachesolr_search/riding%20through%20grief. They can also be purchased online via many independent bookstore websites or at indiebound.org (an association of independent bookstores.) Any local indie bookstore can also order the book for its customers. For more information about Riding Through Grief, visit www.ridingthroughgrief.com.

Flo Rida is an American rapper who grew up in poverty outside Miami and has become one of the most popular performers as rap and dance have combined in the mainstream. His songs "Low" and "Good Feeling" are sure to be heard at clubs across the country and "Wild Ones" and Whistle" can be heard thumping in cars on the road on the way to and from work. Flo Rida tickets are as big of a deal as are his many RIAA-certified hits.
These hits have more than made up for the failings of his albums. Mail on Sunday, his debut, is by far his best-selling, but it has yet to even go gold. Instead, the song "Low" is six-times platinum and "In the Ayer" is relatively unknown because it only went double-platinum. The same is true for R.O.O.T.S, with "Right Round" and "Sugar" individual platinum stand outs.
Essentially, Flo Rida is a rapper for the 21st century. He released songs to be downloaded on iTunes and makes millions. He combines rap with elements of dance for raves and elements of light-hearted pop for radio play. He is a star redefining both his genre and what it means to be a star in today's confusing world of music.
He pays homage to his childhood and his home state by adopting the name Flo Rida and rhyming about partying instead of drive-bys and crack deals. He grew up Tramar Dillard, a boy singing in the gospel choir and encouraged to put his energy to use trying to cultivate a sound for rap and popular consumption. He gave college a try, but would return to music because it was his one true interest.
Now Flo Rida concert tickets are taking him around the world, with entire music videos comprised of footage from his journeys. They also bring a set list more than 20-strong to the stage each and every night, whether he is headlining or he is opening for an artist like Cee Lo Green.

Buddhist Belief System
Diamond Sutra
The Spread of Chinese Buddhism
Buddhism indoctrinated China at a time when Confucianism and Taoism were the two predominant religions prevailing in the country. In the early facet of its entry, Buddhism could not find much persuasion in China. It was only by the 2nd century AD, the religion could gain the popularity to some extent by the distinctness of its approach and due to some similarities with Taoism. Later on the Buddhist religion managed to hold a firm footing and acquired a mass following.
The arrival of many new Buddhist scholars from the Indian subcontinent and central Asia, like An Shih-Kao, a Parthinian monk, and Lokakshema, a Kushana monk from Central Asia, Dharmaraksha in 3rd century AD, Kumarajiva in 4th century AD, who got a number of Buddhist texts translated into Chinese gave a driving force to Buddhism that had lot of captivating characteristics besides a organized approach to the study and race of religion. During the same period many Buddhist texts were translated from Pali and Sanskrit into Chinese.
China was blessed by its own eminent Buddhist scholars with extraordinary vision like Seng-Chao, Tao-Sheng and Fa-hsien who also contributed richly to the growth of Buddhism China through their translations and knowledge.
Buddhist Educational institutions
Many new schools of Buddhism also emerged in China during this period. Each school pre-owned its power from some ancient Buddhist text or doctrine. Some of these schools spread to countries like Korea and Japan and contributed to the emergence of Buddhism as the predominant religion.
Declining of Buddhism
Buddhist Noble Truths
Buddhism gave credence to People. Buddhist edification is based on the Four Noble Truths. Buddhist Doctrine foretells about the birth, lust, sufferings and finally decaying of human body.
Four Noble Truths
First Noble Truth - life bears mental and physical sickness in form of injuries, aging, dying, fatigue, passion, isolation, feeling of disappointment, dismay and distress.
Second Noble Truth - Desires are the root cause of all these suffering and miseries. Ever increasing human desires bring mental depression that in turns brings physical sufferings and weariness in life.
Third Noble Truth - Sufferings can be brought to an end when one overpowers his endless lust of materialistic things. He then will enjoy the life emerging out from the clutches of fear, hatred, anger and happiness.
Fourth Noble Truth - There is a 'Noble Eight-Fold Path' doctrine, leading to overcome the suffering. The Eight-Fold Path includes Perfect Understanding, Perfect Thought, Perfect Speech, Perfect Action, Perfect Livelihood, Perfect Effort, Perfect Mindfulness and Perfect Concentration.
Following the Principles of Four Noble Truths
By following the Buddhist principles of edification and practicing them, it helps in developing ethereally into a perfect person. This will lead one, to the divine path, ultimately attaining contentment in life and also after life.
Buddhism also encourages law of conduct in life, that includes -'Five Precepts'-- Avoid killing, Stealing/ Lying and consuming Alcohol.
Buddhist teaching leads the ways and theories of meditation, rebirth, intellectual evolution and comparisons. It leads to self-understanding, instead of blind-less faith.

Going through double stud of load bearing wall.
1 Attachment(s)
Hello All,
I looking for some assistance. I'm in the process of putting my 55 gallon fish tank in the wall between my kitchen and living room. We decided we wanted to hide the filter (Rena Filstar XP 3) in a cabinet in the kitchen. So I want to run (2) 7/8" O.D. lines through the double 2'X4', as well as the plug for the aquarium light and UV filter. Attached is a photo of what I'm looking to do. I'm thinking that it would be best to run conduit in the wall for future changes and possible leaks, but I'm stumped on how to support the double 2' X 4' when I need a minimun of 2" hole in it.
Works for me:thumbsup:
If 2" is needed and you don't exceed the load ratings, scroll down on this site: http://www.strongtie.com/products/co...-SS.asp#tables
Be safe, Gary
If I put one 2" hole, I can run both intake\return, Hood Light Plug Wire and UV Clarifier plug wire through it. If I put in two 1" holes, I still have no place to run the wire for the Hood Light and UV Clarifier.
Can't you add to the thickness of the wall to accommodate the two inch hole without sacrificing compressive strength?
add more studs
Run that header all the way to the stud on the far right. Then close in the box for the tank. then all your plumbing and wiring will be under the header.
Drill your hole and then put a metal plate on each side of it.
All of the above will work:thumbsup:

- - What is the BEST tire????? (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f73/what-best-tire-1811/)
What is the BEST tire?????
i need a tire that will hold the road wet and dry and with a good tread rating. I drive mostly backroads that are like cattle paths. Let me know i will be running a 225/45/17. Let me know from experience
hey i had kuhmo ecsta spectra 712 (something like that) really cheap bu t great tire wet or dry, i also like the yokohama prada spec-2, both get pretty good grip. check tirerack.com for comparisons
Best Tire
Either the Bridgestone Pole Position S-03, The Pirelli P-Zero Nero, or the Goodyear F-1 IMHO
PS I am getting the Nero 225/45-17 with gold prodrive P1's
Toyo Proxes T1-S
Yeah I totally agree with RED> the Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712 is a great tire. They are cheap for price, but great in quality. I have owned them on my past 2 vehicles and wont change in the future.
OH yeah the tread pattern is F*&%#@ sweet too. I think i paid 78 a tire on Tirerack. Cant beat that!!!
Just my 2 cents.
IM out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An affordable alternative to the Pole Position S-03 is the Bridgestone RE750

I should have probably just typed this all in lowercase, eh? Bollocks...let's capitalize (ha!) on the fact that Modular is tossing together a pretty sweet showcase of lower lettered musicians this Saturday night, and with every good reason, you should be in attendance.
All the info you need to know is on that flyer above. Doors are at 11pm, so if you're headed to Electric Zoo this weekend, like I, then join me on the long ride down into Williamsburg for a night of super stellar Swedish music from ceo and jj.

For the most lifelike firearm training aids, a plastic gun just doesn't get the job done. Plastic training weapons just don't provide the right weight or realistic feel. These days more and more instructors and budding firearm enthusiasts are turning to training barrels for more realistic training actions. A training barrel replaces the functioning steel barrel in your actual firearm, and the barrel works as a spot on replacement for dry fire training. Better yet, you can use a real firearm without any concern or fear of accidental discharge for training, and as long as your chosen firearm is unloaded, you're ready to insert the training barrel. Webyshops stocks Glock training barrel models as well as other training barrels at great prices, and if you're looking for a great training tool, you personal gear outfitter has you covered.

Walk Like An Egyptian by Bangles Songfacts
Songwriter Liam Sternberg wrote this. He got the idea when he was on a ferry boat, and saw people struggling to keep their balance. The way they held out their arms and jerked around made it look like they were doing Egyptian movements, and if the boat moved suddenly, they would all topple over.
This was the biggest hit for the Bangles, but they considered it one of their least favorite songs, as their rock pedigree was compromised by a goofy song they had nothing to do with composing. Most Bangles songs were written by at least one member of the group, with the notable exception of "
Manic Monday
," which was written by Prince.
All members except drummer Debbi Peterson sang a verse. Peterson was originally supposed to sing the whole thing, but producer David Kahne had each member audition the lyrics to determine who would sing what verse.
This was offered to Toni Basil, but she turned it down. The Bangles needed one more song to complete their album, so they took it.
The difficult recording process caused a lot of tension within the band. These tensions would eventually break them up.
In the US, this was the #1 song of 1987 according to
's year end chart.
The video for this song made the band superstars, as it aired in heavy rotation on MTV. The Bangles became darlings of the network, but early on they weren't sold on the medium. Here are some quotes from 1985 where they kvetch:
Debbi Peterson: "When you listen to a record you can imagine what they look like and what they were doing when they recorded, but when you see the video it ruins it for you."
Susanna Hoffs
: "I wish they could be more like movies, I wish they could somehow fulfill you, bring you through an experience."

Jay, no real answer but
If You want to see/hear everyTHANG that was so right or so wrong about the 80s (depends on one's perception), it's this ridiculous song and video, Which I LOVE:):):)
Markantney - Biloxe
The before mentioned song "Gehn wie ein Ägypter" by "Die Ärzte" (The Doctors) is not more or less than a translation into german.
Luke - Essen, Germany
What the hell is this song about? Either the lyrics are complete gibberish, or I'm missing something. Don't get me wrong - it's a fun song - but I have no idea what the Bangles are singing about.
Jay - Brooklyn, Ny
Green Day should remake this. It's perfect for their style and is ripe for a remake. I want 10 million dollars if they do it because I came up with the idea.
Ron - Philadelphia, Ak
Favorite Bangles song out there!!
Jj - Washington, Dc
was one of my favorites whwn i was a teenager. but havent listened 2 it 4 a long long time
Reza - Shiraz, Iran
This is a fun song - the video is simple; but on Hoff's verse (the last one) it gets incredibly sexy. Hoffs eyes are very seductive as she finishes the verse.
Jake - Boston, Ma
Jason, Seattle, WA - you chew on mighty strange bubblegum. You can dislike CCR, but they were a creative and influential band. I think a cavalier attitude toward their music is a mistake.
To me, "...Egyptian" is another quintessential '80s song, and has really good instrumentation.
Ken - Los Angeles, Ca
Dylan had many #1 songs... as a composer. He had none as a singer, which means that all is right in the world.
As for CCR, as much as I like John Fogerty, the songs of CCR are separated from bubblegum by not much more than Fogerty's guitar.
Jason - Seattle, Wa
After the attack on the World Trade Ctr (9/11/2001) a number of stations would not play this song for fear that it would spark some kind of backlash due to the Middle East referance in the song - "Walk Like An Egyptian"
John - Kirkland, Wa
Sorry but I hate this song. Right up there with "Don't Worry Be Happy" and "Disco Duck" for being the worst songs of all time to chart #1. While CCR and Dylan never had a #1 song. Go figure.
Alan - Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada
Walk...(The Dog) Like An Egyptian by Jode Featuring YO-Hans
the cover version is the same song but yo yo terms place in the song.
Neil - Middlesbrough, United States
A German famous rock band called "Die Ã?rzte"(The Doctors) did kinda a song like this, I think. It's called "Laufen wie ein Ã?gypter",w hich means the same as "Walk like an egyptian". Have to check if its ment to be the same song^^
Kathy - Near Frankfurt, Germany
Also, the Bangles were from Santa Barbara, CA.
Margaret - Buellton, Ca
Jim, the parody you mention was by "The Swinging Erudites", a Boston band. The album also contained parodies of Bon Jovi ("Jon Anchovi: "Livin on my Hair" and "You Give Rock a Bad Name")
"Swinging Erudites were the ones who originally wrote and performed the song, which was then covered by Carson Sage, which was in turn covered (and presumably translated) by J.B.O", the German metal band. (from "The Not Al Page" ; http://free.house.cx/~eil/etc/notal_list.html)
Margaret - Buellton, Ca
A very funny parody of this song was made with the following title: "Walk with an Erection".
Jim - Dallas, Tx
not a bad video clip ,Prince Charles was in it along with Libyan leader Gaddafi
Pete - Nowra, Australia
'Rumour' has it that Brad Shepard from the Australian band Hoodoo Gurus. Once kicked out the power supply for the drum machine during this song causing the whole song to stop in front of thousands of people. Also causing immediate tension with his then girl friend (one of the bangles at the time) and also his instant giving up of alcohol?? may just be a rumour....
Jamie - Sydney, Australia
I forget who it was, but the traffic-copter pilot at an LA station used to sing his own version of this song for the folks at get-togethers: "Walk like and Egyptian, Drive like a MORON!"
Keith - Slc, Ut
i love the sneers on their faces, in the video. very seductive.
Rachel - Oxford, Oh
this is a weird song, but i like it
Jme - Raleigh, Nc

Hundreds Attend Earth Day Cleanups Despite Pouring Rain
The American Littoral Society organized three major cleanups during the Earth Day weekend. On Saturday, at Dubos Point in Arverne, 40 people from Bloomberg Company and the Littoral Society removed over 1,000 pounds of debris from the shoreline and planted 500 plugs of Spartina (marsh grass) and 20 beach plum shrubs. At another Jamaica Bay shoreline at Plumb Beach, NYC Audubon brought 75 people to a marsh cleanup and removed plastics and other debris that were impacting the marsh and beachfront.
The biggest event occurred on Sunday, Earth Day when more than 300 dedicated and enthusiastic young people from the Church of God and We Love You Foundation worked for three hours in the pouring rain and removed an amazing 10,000 pounds of floatable debris including old boats, heavy timbers, styrofoam, plastics and bottles that were impacting the fringe marshes at Floyd Bennett Field. Dumpsters and plantings were provided by the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) and debris removal assistance by the National Park Service at Gateway NRA.
Also on hand were the "dynamic duo" father-son team from the Jamaica Bay Ecowatchers, Dan Mundy Sr. and Jr. They brought a chain saw to cut up larger timbers for easier carrying and assisted with the removal of boats. "I can't say enough for the volunteers that came out in such numbers on a rainy day to help restore the shorelines of Jamaica Bay," said Don Riepe, the cleanup organizer. "The Bloomberg Company, Ecowatchers, NYC Audubon and Church of God have sent volunteers for every cleanup over many years and have made a great difference in helping Jamaica Bay. The marshes are now flourishing in areas where tons of debris had covered them."
The next major cleanups will take place in September at many sites around Jamaica Bay as well as throughout New York City during the New York State Beach Cleanup. For more information contact the American Littoral Society at 718-318-9344; e-mail: email@example.com

You know the thing about a shark, he's got … lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. — Robert Shaw as Quint in Steven Spielberg's Jaws (1975)
For most Vancouverites, despite our ocean setting, Jaws is about close as we've ever been to a shark — and it was mechanical.
We've spotted seals near the docks at Granville Island, and whales and dolphins while sailing on B.C. Ferries, but sharks — big ones anyway — are something you only see while diving in the tropics, right?
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada has documented 14 species of sharks — from the tiny two-foot Brown Cat shark to the mammoth, but harmless, 33-foot plankton-eating Basking shark — lurking in the coastal waters of British Columbia.
Also included in the list of 14 B.C. sharks is — gasp — the Great White Shark. The 19-foot monster with its triangle serrated teeth does indeed venture into B.C. waters, but the DFO admits its a rare occurrence when the big fish makes its way up here from the warmer California waters. The National Marine Fisheries Service estimates there is a growing population of about 3,000 white sharks in the eastern North Pacific.
That's not to say we don't have any big predator sharks who are permanent residents. Salmon sharks, stout 10-footers with sharp "awl-like" teeth, are very common around these parts/
While they feed on salmon (natch) and other bony fish, there has been at least one reported — but widely discounted — attack on a human.
In 2012, Campbell River's Kaitlin Dakers was surfing off Tofino when she suffered severe cuts to two of her fingers. She said a doctor at the Tofino hospital and the surgeon in Campbell River who patched her up both said the cuts were from a very sharp, very quick bit.
A Salmon shark was blamed. However, Nick Dulvy, a professor at SFU who specializes in studying sharks and is the current Canada Research Chair in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation, doubted it.
The reality is that this shark has never been implicated in an attack on a human being, and there's never, ever been a shark attack in Canada — Dulvy told the Vancouver Sun.
"There are way more [people] killed by strikes of lightning in North America each year, and there are way more people killed by falling television sets each year than they are killed by shark attacks."
Dulvy said it's more likely that Dakers was bitten by a seal, while veteran surfers claimed the injury could have been caused by her finger getting caught in her board's leash.
Other common sharks in B.C. waters include the brown cat shark, blue shark (10-feet), Pacific sleeper shark (14-feet), sixgill shark (16-feet), spiny dogfish (5-feet), tope (soupfin) shark (6.5-feet).
Sharks listed as rare, or infrequent to B.C. waters, include the Great White, sevengill shark (10-feet), bigeye thresher (14-feet), shortfin mako shark (13-feet), greeneye shark (1.5 feet) and the extremely rare basking shark.
The endangered basking shark, the biggest and rarest fish on Canada's west coast and second largest fish in the world behind the whale shark, was photographed last Aug. 8 by marine researcher Wendy Szaniszlo on the Canadian Coast Guard's 58-metre research ship W.E. Ricker off Brooks Peninsula on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
The gentle giant was nearly wiped out in an act of shark genocide by the federal government.
"Half a century ago Ottawa fitted sharp blades to the bows of its vessels to deliberately kill as many basking sharks as possible for interfering with commercial fishing nets on the B.C. coast," Vancouver Sun reporter Larry Pynn wrote last November.
Once there were as many 3,000-5,000 basking sharks in B.C., but thanks to a liver oil fishery (1941-1947) and the federal eradication program (1945-1970) the number has dropped to "only a few," according to the DFO.
"There were a total of eight reported sightings of basking sharks on the B.C. coast from April to September this year, mostly off the west coast of Vancouver Island but also as far north as Haida Gwaii. In addition to the one confirmed, two sightings were considered reliable," Pynn wrote late year.
A 25-foot basking shark was spotted last week in Puget Sound near Seattle.

Disability Evaluators' Panel (DEP) services
Permanent partial disability examinations
The purpose of the exam is to provide an unbiased, objective estimate of the
whole-person, percent impairment for a given allowed condition. This must be based
on the most current edition of the American Medical Association's (AMA's) Guides to the
Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, using the available medical documentation, history
and physical examination. Examining physicians should generate reports, which identify
the appropriate tables or figures from the guides they used to reach their conclusions.
There is no decision making process other than interpretation of the medical exam,
medical records and history, and applying this information to the guides. Most physicians
who perform these exams must receive additional training that explains the process,
since these examinations are not routinely performed in medical residency. The more
examinations a physician performs, the better the physician becomes at the process.
Primary issues are objectivity of the examiner and appropriate use of the guides.
In some areas of the state there are shortages of qualified examiners for particular
File reviews for requests to increase permanent partial disability benefits
This review requires the physician to visit the local BWC customer service office
and review medical files with newly submitted medical documentation from the injured
worker to determine whether to grant additional impairment. It does not require
clinical decision making in terms of alternative treatment, diagnosis or examination
of the patient. It requires a good knowledge and application of the Guides to the
Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. These physicians may be involved in auditing and
dispute resolution of permanent partial issues in the quality assurance program.
90-day, 200-week and independent medical examinations
These exams require the physician to review medical records, obtain a history and
examine the injured worker to answer questions raised by a party in the workers'
compensation process. It does not require the use of the American Medical Association
guides. Typically, questions address continuation of treatment, recommendation of future
treatment or procedures, determination of maximum medical improvement or return-to-work
issues. Ideally, physicians performing these exams should be experts in their
specialty and up to date on treatment options. An active clinical practice, which
includes treatment of injured workers, would be preferred.
Medical file review
This review usually requires the physician to review medical records completed online
by authorized DEP file-review providers to answer specific
questions about treatment continuation, specific treatment requests, appropriateness
of medication or claim allowance. Physicians should be knowledgeable of appropriate
treatment and up to date on commonly accepted practice guidelines. They do not
need to have a current clinical practice. In fact, many may have retired or quit
performing surgical procedures.
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
Physicians involved in the ADR process are often specialists and sub-specialists,
who help resolve difficult dispute resolution issues such as whether requested medical
services are medically necessary and appropriate based on the allowed conditions in the
claim. They should be in active clinical practice and highly regarded in the medical
community performing up-to-date procedures and practices. Spine surgeons, hand surgeons,
joint replacement orthopedists, and physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians are
some examples. Many of these physicians will not perform medical file reviews or permanent
partial disability evaluations.

I popped along to the Emu Australia showroom last week. They had some gorgeous boots and coats there but it was this that caught my attention the most…
|The EMU Boots Water Test – Before
The photo above is of the lovely Frankie from the EMU press office pouring a glass of water over a soft suede Emu boot.
And this is it immediately after. The water ran straight off.
|The EMU Boots Water Test – After
Impressive eh?! Particularly because a wet cold winter is on its way (sorry to depress you) and this year I really quite fancy being prepared. What I hate about the normal style of Uggs is that they stain easily, completely collapse and end up looking really quite Uggly!!
Apparently because these Emu boots are completely water resistant (due to the water repellent that has been added through the tanning process) they are also incredibly resistant to staining and, cleverly, they won't collapse because they have a fibre glass heel.
This kind of boot isn't really my normal style but I find them hard to resist when the going (climate) gets really tough! Even more irresistible if I can avoid all my pet hates too.
Emu Australia is available both at stockists around the country, and at www.emuaustralia.com – the womenswear footwear price point starting £100.
I'm definitely up for a pair! To see more photos from the Winter 2011 collection, please click here.

Wow that is pretty amazing. People should go and look for that kind of boots. It will not get wet no matter what . But how are you going to clean it?


text: RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Let's Go Virginia (VA) is a campaign developed by the Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance (VTCA) to highlight the Commonwealth's need for a long-term, sustainable transportation funding solution. In response to a recent transportation funding plan introduced by Gov. Bob McDonnell VTCA launched Let's Go VA to provide information and resources to Virginia residents, encouraging them to get involved and voice support for a long-term, sustainable solution to Virginia's transportation funding crisis during the 2013 General Assembly session. To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/60101-let-s-go-virginia-support-virginia-transportation-funding-increase (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130122/MM45310-INFO ) Despite having the third largest highway system in the nation, funding levels to repair and expand Virginia's transportation system have not been significantly increased since 1986. At the same time population levels and number of miles traveled on Virginia roads has grown exponentially, contributing to Virginians having the sixth longest commute times in the nation. Currently, the funding for transportation construction will run out completely by 2017. "We have waited long enough to invest in transportation," said Jeffrey Southard, executive vice president of VTCA. "It's costing us jobs and opportunities to grow our state's economy. The bold plan proposed by Governor McDonnell provides for long-term, sustainable funding. The General Assembly needs to work together to pass a funding solution to get Virginia moving again." LetsgoVA.org connects Virginians with a short video explaining what's happened to our roads in Virginia and an easy way to contact General Assembly members in support of a long-term, sustainable transportation funding solution. In addition, updates and links are being shared on Twitter @letsgoVA. "This issue is far too important to sweep under the rug for another year," Southard added. "Virginians have wasted too much time and money waiting for a long-term, sustainable transportation funding solution and we urge them to visit letsgoVA.org to tell their legislators enough is enough."

I wanted to get something out quick about the USDA's soda report and its implication that a modest soda tax could cause children to loose 4.5 lbs.
I assumed that the 4.5 number came from an equilibrium METs analysis. Basically to do that you note that living one's life requires burning some number of calories per pound of body weight. The units we use are Metabolic Equivalent Tasks (METs).
Then the embarrassingly simply model says that if we reduce calories by X we will get weight loss. However, as the body looses weight it will burn fewer calories in daily activities. Thus calories-out will be reduced. This rate is determined by your METs assumption.
At some point calories-in and calories-out will re-equilibrate and we think of that as net equilibrium weight reduction. Now setting aside all of the endogeneity / partial equilibrium problems with this simplistic analysis, the USDA report doesn't even go that far.
No what it does reads to me as unthinkable. They multiply 43 calories per day times 365 days a year and divide by 3500 calories per pound of fat to suggest that children will loose 4.48 ~ 4.5lbs of fat per year!
Per year my friends. Per year!
I often sense from the comments that the extremity of these types of claims fails to sink in. Lets just do a little abstraction.
So, child is loosing 4.5lbs per year. Mind you child's weight is nowhere in this analysis even implicitly. 4.5lbs a year – that sounds pretty good. Indeed at that rate an eight year old formerly soda guzzling kid could loose 45lbs of fat by her 18th birthday.
But wait a second. What if our child only has 15 lbs of excess body fat. What then. Does she become gymnast level ripped, incapable of menstruating?
Does she fail to grow? We know that mass balance is a fundamental law of nature not a social convention. The laws of physics don't know if she's "too thin." If the calories don't come from fat, of which she only has 15 lbs, they have to come from somewhere. Perhaps, her growth is permanently stunted? Perhaps, her brain development is impaired? Perhaps she suffers all of the maladies associated with underweight childhood development?
All of these thing are possible from persistent caloric restriction but they seem a bit strong as a result of a soda tax?
"Well that's taking it to extremes." you say. This analysis doesn't work at the extremes. Its just about averages and point estimates.
Here is the important point, however: this analysis makes no distinction between moderate and extreme extrapolation. There is no "distance from baseline" component.
The fact that you know this analysis doesn't work in extremes means that at minimum the model is imprecisely constructed with relation to scale. Further, I would add, there is simply no reason to assume that the model works over "reasonable" scales but simply fails over extreme ones.
The model can, I would argue does, begin to breakdown as soon as the first gram of fat is lost.
This is a large part of why weight loss science looks and acts like voodoo.
Someone takes a really complex equilibrium system. They indentify a property or set of properties. Re-inserting that property into the entire system is mathematically intractable and indeed, we don't completely understand the system anyway.
So the analyst linearizes the assumption. If all else is held equal they say. Yet, the scale over which the human metabolism will match a linear approximation is tiny. The body immediately acts to undue whatever effect you tried to create.
So maybe, maybe if you are lucky and you hit the body with the equivalent of sledge hammer's worth of adjustment you can temporarily squeeze out five, ten maybe even 20 lbs of pure adipose tissue. However, the metabolism soon adjusts and acts to overcome even that enormous effort.
This is the core of the problem we face. Any effort to address this problem that does not recognize this difficulty is doomed to failure.
I cannot beat this drum enough, because people continue to try these types of methods, continue to fail and continue to be shocked at that failure. And, even if that type of hamster wheel insanity was ok as a private choice, if definitely shouldn't form the basis of public policy.
Let me say will all the force I can: We must not pick winners and losers based on analysis that fails to recognize key elements of the public problem.
It is deeply, deeply irresponsible to do so.
Note: A previous version of this post attributed the report to the FDA when in fact it was from the USDA

a good idea, I try to wear hearing protection around loud equipment as well as shooting. Only time I don't is hunting.
This is a discussion on Shooters and their hearing problems within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; When we loose our ability to hear it becomes difficult for family and friends. Shopping and carrying out daily routines in shopping become a challenge. ...
When we loose our ability to hear it becomes difficult for family and friends. Shopping and carrying out daily routines in shopping become a challenge. We shooters are the first to say everything is OK, I can hear but once in a while my ears ring or feel like wind is blowing over my ears.
The ringing or noise in your ear is the first tips off you have a health problem and you should see your doctor. In some cases the doctor may not pick up on any health problem and say your fine, just watch your diet. Danger signs should go up and you need to follow up for your health.
I attended a couple of hearing loss seminars and when raising the point about ringing or wind noise in my ears they would always ask, are you a diabetic? I of course would say no I dont think so, but they were on the right track as I found out later that was the issue.
When my hearing started to deteriorate comical situations developed. I could not hear the car radio very plain and looked for a replacement. The sales guy was pretty good and told me the radio is fine I dont need one, he didnt elaborate on my hearing ability.
When my electronic ears had what I thought was a problem and returned them for repair, the company even replaced the right side hearing piece I complained about, they too were very good to me.
What may have caused my hearing problem? I really dont know, but over the years of working around large guns being fired, jets winding up a few feet away and working in a cold underground bunker didnt help my health I dont believe.
I thought this may be of interest to some shooters to check on their health and delay serious problems when their hearing seems to get worse.

a good idea, I try to wear hearing protection around loud equipment as well as shooting. Only time I don't is hunting.
Richard - this does indeed need considered by us all.
Odd eh - way way back - little thought was given to hearing protection - and that is partly I think why us older folks sometimes have trouble now - plus to a degree as well - there is something of a lottery with individuals - some are perhaps more predisposed to problems than others.
I am surprised and not a little relieved, that my hearing has held out fairly well considering abuses. I have no tinnitus as yet and seem to have just lost a measure of high frequency reception - my left ear is lower quality than right.
I shudder when I think back to my army cadet long range shooting, 1960 thru 1963. We shot with Enfield MkIV target rifles and most we ever had for protection was screwed up cleaning patches stuffed in the ears - NOT very effective. I well recall spotting for other guys and feeling that blast from the muzzles, they were pretty close!!!
Not strictly on topic but here is a nostalgia pic for me - a scan of an old score sheet from '63 at 500 yards - I still have my old score books .We had seven shots to count after two sighters. I never did get a ''possible'' 35 ever but was able to fairly consistently get 32's and 33's and so was not a total embarrassment to the team
The writing of the score figures I recognize as being that of a Major Couttes - lovely fella, long gone.
Sorry for thread drift as I wallow in nostalgia

I'm glad now my father beat it into my head you never shoot without over the ears protection or earplugs.
Yep...I have it folks. Constant ear ringing. It's loud & sometimes it's absolute torture. With me...it's forever. Take care of your ears folks. You don't ever want to get what I have & to the degree that I have it. Trust me on that.
I work in a loud environment (boiler operations) and shoot a lot, also. QK hits it on the head...once tinitius sets in, you are pretty much hosed. Constant ringing and loss of ability to hear higher pitched sounds....my father can't hear crickets chirping (heavy equipment operator for a good part of his life). I'm almost there.
Take care of your ears starting when you are young! I sometimes wonder about war veterans that are in the Artillery branches....
"I surrounded 'em"- Alvin York
"They're ain't many troubles that a man can't fix with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six"- Jeff Cooper
I have what's commonly known as "tanker's ears" after six years in the military. Tanks are loud all the time, not just when they shoot and the military gave us orange plastic earplugs that didn't provide complete protection. But even before the military, the Rolling Stones concerts and shooting without ear protection deteriorated my hearing. Mine isn't terribly bad, but I have a bit of a high frequency loss which becomes noticeable when someone is talking with a lot of background noise....
Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde; Beware the anger of a patient man.
QK-did you see a doctor about other health issues? Just asking your a sharp guy I know but sometimes men are lagging when it comes to health, pm me if you answer, I don't expect it in the clear. I have serious issues and never paid attention to people telling me about getting it checked. My younger days were shooting 40mm quad mounts about 20 feet away or 5" stuff going off. I have worked in really bad areas. I deveoped high speed printer software for a customer with the printer and I in a small room. It tells on you sooner or later.

Thanks for your concern. I appreciate you asking.
Yes, I am otherwise extremely healthy...except for a sometimes blown out back & a dislocated shoulder...right now.
I actually have a Top Notch Family Dr. who is a really close friend ~ as a plus his office is a nice converted old funeral home about 5 front doors down the street from my home. He is really on the ball.
He has been willing to work with me on everything that I've wanted to try to ease the ear ringing. I am not much up for taking any narcotic type meds though. Ya can forget all of the "herbal treatments" 'cause I've tried every possible combination of those.
Right now...I am using a "True White Noise" CD in a portable player with headphones...it's one that plays every audible sound pitch that the human ear can hear...all at the same time. So...it "fills in" the high end of the hearing spectrum.
I use that usually before I go to sleep...or try to get some sleep.
It was initally tough for me to get used to hearing it...but, it does help. This is the one I am using. (below)
Search Ebay for White Noise. You'll find it.
It's about $9.00 plus shipping.
What? Speak Up.
I used to shoot without ears (I have eyes as in glasses) and I have a slight ringing in my left ear. It's sometimes bad and sometimes I forget that it's there.
But I got an adversion to loud noise, don't know why, just one day I just couldn't stand loud noise so I started to wear ears. So mine is still okay except for the slight ringing in the left.
I tell all new shooters or even the older ones that I shoot with that I won't shoot with them if they won't wear eyes or ears.
very late to this post...better late than never!
I always wear hearing protection when I go to the range (indoor or outdoor). I was at an outdoor range just a few weeks ago having some fun with my Beretta 92FS and there was a grandfather, father and grandson there shooting a Taurus .357 Magnum wheel gun.
I can't recall whether the adults had hearing protection, but the 16-year old DID NOT (You KNOW what kind of concussion those magnums make! Thumps your chest!).
The 16-year old walked over to me and shouted, "I'M DEAF! I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING! YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'RE WEARING HEARING PROTECTION!" I just smiled and made the motion of tapping my temple with a bent index finger ('smart'/ 'thinking').
I grew up attending dozens of Christian concerts in the 80's and even wore ear plugs toward the end of my concert days, but I fear that even my hearing isn't as sharp as it should be for being in my mid-30's.
It's not about the caliber you carry, it's about how you USE it.

remember my grandad shooting when i was younger with 45 cases in his ears for protection lol he let me use his ears so i would be protected while he taught me to shoot think he might have picked up on the empty case thing in the old timey marines lol we had hearing protection when i got there if you want to call em that think most of my hearing problems came from verry loud DIs
Could You Type A Little Louder Please?
What did you say??? I can not hear you. Can you speakup for me.

The ACC enacted a six-day hold on the Nov. 30 UNC-Duke game. It will be played at either noon or 3:30, and the final game time will be announced on Sunday.
You don't fully know the Ryan Switzer story until you've read Lee Pace's Extra Points...Here's another bowl projection with Carolina headed to El Paso...You think people could get excited about UNC vs. Georgia in Nashville?...The Music City vs. Ole Miss would be an appealing matchup. P.S.: After perusing nearly a dozen of these bowl projections, there are some that are just completely clueless. Surely you're shocked that there is nonsensical stuff on the internet...
Kareem Martin and Ryan Switzer are the ACC Players of the Week...Larry Fedora and the Tar Heel players know the stakes for the next two weeks...Eric Ebron is a Mackey Award semifinalist...All the Coastal Division scenarios in one place. And before you ask, there is no scenario in which the Tar Heels could win the Coastal, even on a tiebreaker...
Here's the recap of Monday's press conference with the highlights of the media session:
Tar Heels in the NFL
Rough times for Hakeem Nicks in New York...Bruce Carter has taken over playcalling duties for the Dallas defense...Julius Peppers might have found a lost spark in his huge game on Sunday.
Brice Johnson has been a pleasant surprise through three games...Turner has a new plan for televising the Final Four that will include separate channels devoted to specific teams, which sounds great. One question: wouldn't it be easier to just run the participating team's audio broadcast of the radio network?...This is a fairly clear-eyed take on the reasons behind the loss to Belmont...Especially with the current roster makeup, Carolina needs Marcus Paige to be selfish...Have you noticed the giant signs in the risers?...There's a basketball notebook coming up on the site later this morning, so check back.
Tar Heels in the NBA
Wayne Ellington is back from a thigh injury...Raymond Felton is trying to play through a hamstring injury...Another huge day for Ty Lawson (29 points, eight assists) another loss for the Nuggets (115-113 to OKC)...Vince Carter had six points and four rebounds as Dallas won...Marvin Williams (16 and 8) and Harrison Barnes (17 and 5) both played well in Golden State's win over Utah.
Olympic sports
Men's soccer received an at-large NCAA bid and will host USF on Thursday for the right to go to California...After solid performances against Tennessee and UCLA, Allisha Gray is the ACC Rookie of the Week...Cool gesture by Anson Dorrance:
.@UNCwomensSoccer plays Indiana in 2nd round of NCAA Tourney Friday! Coach Dorrance will pay for the 1st 150 students there! COME & SUPPORT!
— Carolina Athletics (@unccaa) November 19, 2013
Today's games
Today in Tar Heel history
Nov. 19, 1985: Eve Carson would turn 28 years old today. Our thoughts are with her friends and family as they remember her today. Always think of this UNC-Duke game when thinking of her.
Long read
Former Maryland star Len Bias would have turned 50 years old yesterday, which seems virtually impossible, since he's perpetually 20 years old in our minds. The Bill Simmons column linked inside of this story is a good read on what Bias meant.

Aspects of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing in the Southern Ocean
€ 185,49
Sofort lieferbar
Oktober 2006
BeschreibungThe efforts of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources Commission and the Australian government to adopt complementary measures to deter Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in the Southern Ocean form the basis of this study, although the examination is conducted following a comprehensive review of the legal and other factors contributing to the development of IUU fishing as well as the applicable international law. The author concludes that in the absence of flag State control, alternative measures and strategies have proved to be effective in influencing the behaviour of IUU fishing vessels. By improving coastal State surveillance, enhancing regional cooperation, imposing port and market State controls, establishing IUU vessel databases and vigorously prosecuting offenders, Regional Fisheries Management Organisations and coastal States can jointly increase the risk of conducting IUU fishing activities. At the same time financial returns can be diminished so that engaging in IUU fishing becomes economically unattractive. It is concluded that the application of a combination of these measures is required in order to achieve a degree of success in deterring IUU operators.
InhaltsverzeichnisThe Problem of IUU Fishing.- The Impact of IUU Fishing on Marine Fisheries.- Factors Contributing to the Development and Persistence of IUU Fishing.- Legal Factors Contributing to the Development of IUU Fishing.- Economic and Political Factors infl uencing the development and practice of High Seas Fisheries and the emergence of IUU Fishing.- International Measures.- International Law Applicable to IUU Fishing.- Regional Measures: CCAMLR.- CCAMLR Management in the Southern Ocean.- The CCAMLR Response to IUU Fishing.- National Measures: Australia.- The Management of Commonwealth Fisheries.- Australia's Response to IUU Fishing.- Conclusion.- Measures to deter IUU Fishing in the Southern Ocean in the Absence of Flag State Control.

Thanks to all of you for showing all the great eye candy ... now you have to do it again... Okay???
I hope to have some blocks done this week...
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thanks to all of you for showing all the great eye candy ... now you have to do it again... Okay???
I hope to have some blocks done this week...
And I can't wait to see what sweet treats are offered to us this week!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Let's see if I can post a picture or twoGirl's joy...remembering her favorite horses and her friends horses also.
Grandmother's favorite And the saddle that maybe Grandfather won: Or let everyone get back in the saddle again...Yippeee...I finished the FWSQ top today!!!!
Yipppppeeeeeeeeee for you QNSue!!!!!!! ... your FWS is all in one piece!
Happy Dance, Everyone!!
Now off to your LAQ and we'll wait with great patience (NOT!) for it to be done, done done!!!!!!!!!
What a perfect pair of blocks you have for us this week! Great FC work done!!!
Wonder? was Grampa out gambling again?
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Every week I marvel at your fabrics. I love all those horses and bright colours.
Girl's Joy
Grandmother's Favourite
no gambliing.... saddle bronc; riding...Cheyenne, Wyoming. Actually, it was dh grandfather in early 1910-19 years.
Here are my blocks for this week, I think Girl's Joy is a bit dramatic.
Congratulations QNS on finishing your FWS can't wait to see a finished pic, wonderful blocks as always this week.
JanieW what a delicate floral print you have matched with Fusions, absolutely gorgeous.
Again, QNSue ... so good to hear the stories! And another proof as to why you need to clip these notes and put them together for your DGS. Even if they are just snippets and disjointed, they tell some important family stories to be held into the future.
JanieW and MiraB ... all are so fresh and crisp and perfectly pieced.
Yes, MiraB, that one has come out a little dramatic, though I'm sure it'll blend in and hardly be noticed for that once all are together.
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
QNSue..Your blocks are so very unique. I love how you adapt it to your fabric to tell your story. Great work. Also congratulations on finishing your FWQ. I can't wait to see it.
JanieW...The prints in your quilt are perfect. They don't overpower the pattern of the block like mine sometimes do. I'm learning so much by just observing how you all use your fabrics.
Mirabelle...So brave with the stripes but what a great job. Maybe dramatic but very well done.
Here are mine for the week.
GGal, don't underestimate how lovely yours are. The one this week is soft and subtle, the other has punch and life and excitement to it. They play off each other and work well. And oh so square and pointy! I too am like you and love to learn as I see others doing the same blocks. I think we get so much more benefit by doing the same project together and comparing the results!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!

c 1968
WE CELEBRATED two birthdays at home in May — for my beloved Nanay (May 3) and for my niece, Mhaio (May 27), who is currently staying with us. Â We did the celebration for both on May 26.
There should have been one other birthday for us to celebrate in May. Â My father's birth date is May 11, and we used to celebrate his birthday at home, too, together with my mother's. He passed away in October last year, however.
We sorely missed Ama. Â Marielle would often sob in her sleep when she dreams of him. Johan would remember the activities they did together. But Ama is no longer with us and we have to move on with our lives without him.
There were only two cakes last May 26 when there were supposed to be three. Â Even our photos seemed incomplete and lacking in color. Â We all felt sadness deep inside, for in our hearts Ama left a gaping hole. Â But there were enough reasons to celebrate and be happy. So we celebrated with lots of food and even more laughter. Ama would not have wanted it any other way.

Another AD State guy to keep an eye on in the mid/late rounds is Brice Butler (6'3" 209lbs). He transferred from USC a couple of years ago. He's got nice wheels for his size and has a nice jump ball. Not real keen on his route running ability though. Could be a decent project guy who is a bit more polished than Tommy Streeter.
I am convinced that the team wants Oher as the longterm RT. Osemele at LG.
If you think that Jones is a can't miss prospect for the Center position, take him, so that Joe actually has a pocket to step up into, because he hasn't for the past two years.
Otherwise, find your LT, FOR THE LOVE!.... OF GOD!
If Barrett Jones is the top prospect, then maybe they can go with an OL of Oher, KO, Gradkowski, Yanda, B. Jones next year and see who shakes out at LT in the 2014 draft/free agency.
Finding, not just a LT...but a GOOD OT...is easier said than done. There are some nice prospects this year who could probably replicate Oher's performance with more upside (Oday Aboushi, Brian Winters, Ricky Wagner, etc). None of that means jack though.
Escobar isn't just a receiving-first TE, he has some blocking ability too and could improve in that area. Pitta I don't really ever see improving as a blocker and he's better used as a moving chess piece type anyway. With his athleticism, catch radius, and hands, the key is getting the right matchup with him and then getting him the ball. Use him like the Pats use Hernandez... split him out wide 'cause he's too big for a CB to cover, run him up the seam 'cause he's too fast for a LB to cover, etc.
In that scenario they would leave Escobar playing the in-line role. He can stretch the field up the seams, block, etc... basically the Gronkowski role. I know people will say "oh but we already have two TEs," would the Ravens mind having Jimmy Graham? Hell no, the NFL is about WEAPONS and it doesn't matter what position they play. You find a way to get them on the field. Plus, Dickson and Pitta are both FAs next year and I doubt they'll keep Dickson who isn't really particularly good at anything.
If they move to a 2TE base set, which is actually Norv Turner's preferred base offense, they need another every-down TE who can block and catch... I would love to have a guy like Escobar in that role. Hell, you were suggesting Tyler Eifert earlier, and I think Escobar is 90% as good a prospect, but in the 3rd instead of the 1st.
I don't like the idea of Jones at tackle in any scenario.
Alabama looked dominant but Notre Dame looked overmatched. You can't over analyze this game too much. Alabama has way much more talent. A better way to gauge Alabama's players is to watch their tape against Texas A&M, Georgia, or LSU. Those teams are a lot closer, talent wise.
Ryan Clady, Kelechi Osemele, Barrett Jones, Marshal Yanda, Michael Oher.

iPod Touch Battery Life and iOS4
- [ Ignore ]
Like many others I upgraded my 2nd gen iPod Touch to iOS4, and apparently like many others it has massacred the battery life on my Touch. I've tried the workarounds which are basically turning off all of the connectivity features, which defeats the purpose of what I bought it for. The workarounds don't really work anyway. Has anyone else been able to restore a Touch to the previous OS? Combined mail accounts, iBooks, and app folders are not worth a 75% hit to battery life.
Less is More (more or less).

Argentina Pays Up, Gets More IMF Cash
Argentina was cleared to receive $3.1 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after meeting a March 9 repayment deadline for $3.15 billion. The IMF money is part of a $13.3 billion rescue package. President Nestor Kirchner had warned that without the cash Argentina would default on repayments.
To get the money Argentina agreed to negotiate differently with foreign investors. Some creditors have not received payments from Argentina in more than two years.
Argentina recently angered private investors by saying it would pay only 25 percent of the face value of government bonds. The government argues that bondholders are also responsible for the debt crisis, because they profited from exorbitant interest rates under former president Carlos Menem (1989-1999).
The IMF itself admits it did not properly deal with Argentina's 2001 economic crisis. In a discussion paper the IMF said it missed danger signs, overestimated economic growth, and misjudged its reforms' effects.
Institutions such as the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions are urging the IMF to help Argentina's government make repayment agreements that will not unbalance the country's economic recovery.
Argentina's economy, which is overcoming a record debt default, has showed its first strong signs of improvement with 8.4 percent growth in 2003.
