Don%27t Forget Me by Red Hot Chili Peppers Songfacts
This song is about lead singer Anthony Kiedis' drug addictions. The line, "I'm the rainbow in your jail cell all the memories of everything you've ever smelled" talks about his rehab and how he was literally locked in a cell for two weeks to get over his addictions. "I'm the bloodstain on your shirt sleeve coming down and more are coming to believe" is talking about the blood on his sleeves after shooting up.

This song is written from the addiction's perspective. As if heroin were singing. Taunting and warning the addict that the addiction is always there waiting for a relapse " I'm the blood stain" "I'm the meth lab" etc. when he says I'll be there, tell me when you want to go, It's the heroin tempting him to come back to using
Scott - Cape Cod, Ma
I've always taken this as the RHCP's version of the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil", except instead of Mick Jagger singing Satan's first-hand account of history, Anthony Kiedis is singing from the first-hand perspective of the Demon of Addiction and its constant presence throughout Kiedis's life. Kiedis references junkie times in his life that are explained in his autobiography "Scar Tissue" ("...take it all off and step inside a running cab...", "...rainbow in your jail cell...") and then sings about the presence of the demon even though he is now clean ("...not alone, I'll be there, tell me where you want to go.").
Joe - Wilmington, De
"More will be revealed" is an NA (Narcotics Anonymous) term. I think this is my favorite song of theirs. I can't stay still when I hear it. It has a constant drivng thump (bass I guess, I know nothing about music), it snakes round and round you and it sparkles and shimmers too. These elements are nearly visual at times for me. It's good for Middle Eastern dance styles (with the blinds pulled down of course, lol!)
Anna - Seattle, Wa
One of RHCP's most underrated tracks, it stands out as a classic perfect piece of all times. It's possibly my favorite song off of
By The Way
Bertrand - Paris, France
After reading the comments about Hillel, I realized thath the title of the song is "Don't Forget Me," as in don't forget Hillel. At least that's what I think it might be in reference to. Love the song.
Anderw - Philadelphia, Pa
I've heard that this song was about their lives , I always thought each verse was about a differnt member in the band starting with Anthony,john, flea then chad. in the 2nd part"it says I'm a meth lab" i'm not saying he did it but for the 8 or so years he left by the time he came back it looked 20 years. Meth would explain that. It also talks about rehab, whitch he went to. In the 3rd part of the song it says I'm a pot head witch would explain flea.
David - Lol Hiawatha, Nj
John Frusciante was angered by Rick Rubin who made him use a particular guitar on this song.
Mark - Worcester, Mi
i think it's my favorite peppers song especialy the slane version, its so amazing. i like the the fact that the songs start very slowly, then goes to it's peak in the middle and goes slowlier again. its like a paramid
Liam - Utrecht, Armenia
Every time I listen to this song .... I just get chills down my back .... especially on the Slane version
Jack - Niceville, Fl
Ryan, right on the money. I'll see you there brother.
This moves me sooooooo much... talk about down and out.
Liz - Sydney, Australia
One of my favourite Chili's songs- actually, one of my all time favourite songs.
For some reason the line I find the most touching is 'teach you how to dance inside the funny farm'.
Lola - Norwich, United Kingdom
This is one of my top 5 favorite RHCP song.
Nick - Lancaster, Oh
I've heard this song is about everything God is, and it sounds good to me.
"There's a love that knows the way"
"Not alone, I'll be there tell me when you want to go"
Nikie - Stockholm, Sweden
The part of the song where Anthony says "2 legs that you spread inside the toolshed" possibly refers to a rendevous with a girl called Grace in junior high where Anthony got permission to leave class for something related to the school newspaper, but took her to the bathroom (and after someone found them kissing) to the toolshed where they had sex in the middle of class time.
Michelle - Sydney, Australia
I don't think this album is very upbeat. It's quite dark, except in some spots, in my opinion. But this is a hauntingly beautful song. By The Way has a lot of those, and might just be my favorite Chili Pepper's record.
Krysten - Odessa, Tx
The whole album is upbeat and melodic. I was watching an interview with Frusciante on youtube and he was discussing how it came to be. His influences changed once again and he started to get heavily influenced by the beach boys (probably pet sounds) and concentrated on melodies that eventually shaped what I believe is the RHCP's best work. Having new influences and changing sounds from album to album is a great thing I think and they did it again on stadium arcadium which is great in its own way.
Matt - Pembroke , Ma
Ryan, I always found a great comfort in that line too :)
Cara - Perth
Eric, the reference to "im the blood stain, on your shirt sleeve, comin down and more comin to believe" is a reference to andy's addiction and not hillel's, although much of the song is a reference to the memory of kedis's best friend.
Dan - Detroit, Mi
I would like to post the fact that Dan Slosh of Sydney Australia is right in the fact that dont forget me is about drug addiction, however, where dan lacks accuracy is in the fact that its about Anthony Kiedis, the song is actually about his life time friend and former Chili Peppers guitarest, Hillel, who died from a herion overdose. All the refrences in the song, "im the blood stain", "Im the rainbow", "im the methlab" these are all the things anthony is, and he is saying that he was and always will be part of hillel.
Eric - Cinci, Oh
When Anthony says "There's a love that knows the way" I think he is talking about God. God is the way.
Ryan - Baton Rouge, La

Not to be confused with the North American Aerospace Defense Command, also abbreviated NORAD.
The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) is a directorate under the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Its task is to ensure effective foreign aid, with quality assurance and evaluation. Norad finances NGOs and does its own research and projects. The current director general is Villa Kulild. Norad used to be the official development assistance organization in Norway. As of mid-2004, the responsibility for state-to-state official development assistance has been transferred to the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while Norad continues to fund NGO activities in developing countries, contributes to the management of development funds and endeavours to ensure that the Norwegian development cooperation is evaluated and efficient.
NORAD consists of the following sections:
- Department for Environment and Private Sector Development
- The Department of Rights, Agents of Change and Civil Society
- The Department of Social Development and Service Delivery
- The Department of Governance and Macroeconomics
- The Department for Quality Assurance
- Department of Evaluation

The Cockatoo River Incident
Throughout the Empire of Man there are many great memorials to the fallen. On the planet of Yalumba there is one of the smallest, yet the events leading to its creation, history has shown to be the most pivotal in the course of the empire.
In the Ikuntji province, exactly 847 meters from the Cockatoo River Mission bell tower, there is a small knoll. The grape vines now have been cleared for 200 meters around. Circling the top is a simple tall hedge of Acacia. Within the hedge is a circular grass lawn. Around the border of this lawn are 47 simple crosses- half a meter high and iridium plated. At the center of the Lawn are 16 similar but smaller crosses, grouped together in four rows of four. The single gateway of wrought iron has no decoration but a single word.
This is the story of the events leading to what is now known as 'The Cockatoo River Incident'.
The day the Empire realized that 'Live and let live' was no longer an option...
Cockatoo River Incident Memorial
Jenny and Wayne quietly walked out of the inner circle of the memorial- a place that few were ever permitted to stand upon the lovingly cared for lawns. They took up position in front of the Imperial flag and saluted as it was lowered to the strains of the Last Post. As the guard party marched off towards the mission, they stood for a while in silent contemplation.
"Never forget how much worse it would have been without you" said Wayne.
"I tell myself that every time I think about it. Not that it helps much..."
Transit Station
21 years previous (Empire time line)
"I've done some weird shit, but this beats it all." said Jenny- now inhabiting a four-year old child's version of her body.
"This is just like having the baby sister I always wanted." said Sonja laughingly, picking Jenny up and spinning her around.
"You need to find a man and make babies." said Jenny. "Now put me the hell down before I get in character and pee all over you."
Transit Station Ready Room
"Good luck- things are going to be a bit hairy until the Marines take control" said Wayne.

I haven't done this Talk thing in a while, so I hope I'm doing this right... I'm just curious about this page's current crediting of Michelan Sisti as the voice of Spit. I see that Andrew L made that edit in 2008 with the note "per credits," but as from what I've seen, the opening credits of the show just list two names next to each puppet character, without specific attribution for voice/face/body. I don't know what Michelan Sisti sounds like, but to me Spit's voice sounds a whole lot like Joey Mazzarino's voice for the Christopher Meloni Muppet in the Law & Order: Special Letters Unit sketch.

- I'll just say that it'd be weird if the current info in the "performer box" were correct. It'd make more sense fr the face performer to do the voice than the costume performer (unless there was no "face performer"). --Minor muppetz 17:09, January 10, 2011 (UTC)
On Bruce Lanoil's page, he is credited as performing the face of Spit, although it seems odd for him to have done the face but not the voice, since I agree that Spit sounds like Joey Mazzarino. Is this a mistake? Was Bruce Lanoil a puppeteer on Aliens in the Family? Theatrefreak25 04:45, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

This is a weird weekend in the Pac-12. Saturday's schedule pits two the Washington schools against two Idaho teams, while USC and UCLA host opponents named the Aggies. Four schools are off, and there's only one intra-conference game - but it's a good one. On to the picks:
Idaho State at Washington, 1 p.m. MDT, Pac-12 Networks.
This game will decided in time for someone to drive to Pullman and make the Washington State-Idaho kickoff. Washington 59, Idaho State 7.
Utah State at USC, 1:30 p.m. MDT, ABC
This was scheduled as a "money" game, but so were USU's visits to Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Auburn and Wisconsin in recent years, and those turned into genuine four-quarter contests. This one should fit that description, although BYU's defense held USU quarterback Chuckie Keeton to three points last year and the Trojans' improved unit should be in that class. Conversely, USC's offense will struggle to top 24 points, so this one should be close. USC 24, Utah State 17.<

Conditions InDepth: Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder. Normally, red blood cells are disc-shaped and flexible. In sickle cell disease, hemoglobin, which is the chemical within red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body, is abnormal. This causes red blood cells to collapse into a crescent or sickle shape. It also causes the red blood cells to be abnormally stiff and fragile. These cells clump together and clog up small blood vessels throughout the body. When blood vessels are blocked by sickle-shaped red blood cells, parts of the body are deprived of oxygen. This can cause severe pain and damage to organs and tissues. Abnormal red blood cells are also destroyed at a high rate, causing a shortage of red blood cells (anemia).
|Red Blood Cells: Normal and Sickled
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder. If you receive one defective gene from each of your parents, then you will have sickle cell disease. If you only have one defective gene, you are said to have sickle cell trait, but not sickle cell disease. Although you won't usually have any symptoms, you can pass this gene on to your children.What are the risk factors for sickle cell disease?What are the symptoms of sickle cell disease?How is sickle cell disease diagnosed?What are the treatments for sickle cell disease?Are there screening tests for sickle cell disease?How can I reduce my risk of sickle cell disease?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with sickle cell disease?Where can I get more information about sickle cell disease?

central heating boiler leacking from relieve valve
Help please.
I have a Alpha SY24 wich was leacking from the relieve valve.
But every time I was filling the system at cold to 1bar, as soon the water was getting hot the pressure build up to 2.5bar
At some stages the system was loosing its pressure from the relieve valve to 0bar, so I thought to replace the releieve valve to solve the problem.
But it keeps doing the same thing with the new valve.
Is the expantion vessel the problem.
Please advise.
is it possible the fill valve is not shutting all the way?
check the expansion tank ,if all hot then water log .pressure in tank should be 12psi .drain the tank. that should do it
The filling loop is removed every time I fill the system.
I will chek the expantion vessel pressure
Thanks to all

TIG Welding Question
Another TIG Welding question. I have a 220V AC/DC welder in my garage. It works very well for stick and "scratch" TIG on steel. My question is for aluminum. My machine does not have a high frequency circuit in it.
I know that to weld aluminum you need a welder with a high freq circuit to start the arc without touching the metal. This keeps the tungsten from becoming contaminated. Can I "cheat" and use a steel scratch plate to start the arc, or will this defeat the whole thing. About the only aluminum I would like to weld would be for brackets, etc.
Thanks in advance,
You can buy a high freq. unit to add on. They used to be inexpensive. My first TIG setup was using a Miller welder with a Craftsman (Sears) frequency unit on it.
TIG setup
My first TIG setup was using a Miller welder with a Craftsman (Sears) frequency unit on it.
Re; I have a Century high frequncy arc stabilzer coming soon, from an ebay auction. I am curious how well did your setup work? I know century made the Craftsmen unit also. Did you have any problems at all? Thanks
I have looke at Sears and Century web sites and stores. No one seems to make or sell these units any more. I remember when I bought my welder they were available.
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spots?
TIG setup
Lincoln bought Century last october. I called lincoln and talked to Century tech to see if high freq, arc stab. is still available, NOPE He sad they they dropped them about 2 years ago I am getting mine from an ebay auction, you might try that route. I paid $301.00 with tig torch and regulator, not to bad I don't think.
Just found this web site. It shows a homemade arc stabilizer. I've got about half of this stuff laying around my garage. I may try to build one just for the hell of it.
Ahhhhh Evil Electrickery.......
Hmmmmm the principles of TIG welding are this.....
Well it's aspro Fiziks time.
The reasons why YOU need to run High Frequency electrical overlays on basic (=sexy) arc welding machines when welding aluminimum is:
1. When things are cold such as BBQ plates, light bulb filaments etc., they (relative to their surroundings) do not radiate anything.... such as heat (Infrared light), or any visible or invisible light, Xrays or electrons.....
2. When they are cold (talking about the Steel BBQ plate here) and placed near a heat source, they absorb the energy from the heat source untill equilibrium is established - heat input = heat output from radiation and convection.
3. When STEEL is welded, the weld pool (moltern steel ~1400*c) is both hot enough to emit lots of bright white light and as it is radiant, when charged with electrons during 1/2 the sinusidal wave cycle (think tide in, tide out, tide in, tide out), and with very little provocation, the steel emits electrons back to the electrode and the arc is more or less continiously established and maintained.
4. FOUR parts to welding aluminium.
(i) Aluminium has a melting point about 650*C (I am a bit tired and forgetful right now) and the weld pool temperature is about 720*C
This is a lowish red heat, not a bright white heat. Red heat is not terribly electrically emissive when charged with electrons, so when welding with AC, during the phase of the current flowing from the job to the tungsten electrode,
As a gauge of comparison, if you were to remove the arc from weld pools of steel and aluminium, and then keep them there at that temperature, the steel would be blinding white light and the aluminium would be a dull red......
The steel is radiating everything like mad and the alumium is a dull red pool of liquid.
So the AC arc, when welding aluminium, has a wonderful tendacy to SELF EXTINGUISH, because the electrons basically refuse to run from "cold" weld pool to the electrode in the torch when welding aluminium.
(ii) To use very high voltaic pressures, that enable the arc to remain established, in the condition of LOW emissivitivity from the aluminium weld pool - well these very high voltages are not used because they have a real tendancy to kill weldors. (dead person, not welding machine)
(iii) Aluminium reacts with oxygen (elctronic reaction) to create an aluminium oxide film on the job.
This is BAD, and can create all sorts of problems in the weld quality and appearance.
However it is possible to clean aluminium in an inert atmospehere and to weld it with DC elerode negative - but most people neither have the time nor resources nor willingness to go to these lengths; and they find that just keeping the weld mechanically clean and locally shielded in Argon to be sufficient.
The AC welding cycle picks apart the aluminium and oxygen bonds to self clean the weld pool and the material surrounding the weld pool.
(it also cleans out some weld pool contaminants too)
This is good.
(iiii) Tungsten inclusions in an aluminium weld - well on one hand they can be no big deal - but on the other hand they can be real source of concern - but it all depends upon the application.
Two issues that arise when striking an arc from the aluminium surface is that the tunsten can stick into and break off into the weld and also that the aluminium tends to stick onto the electrode, which when carefully ground and shaped, has a great deal of say so about the arc shape and stability and weld quality (penetration depth and width and appearance).
So it's best to NOT strike the weld from aluminium.
5. When an High Frequency current is overlaid upon a AC welding circuit, it performs two things.
The composition of HF overlays are about 2 milliamps in power, 2000V and are about 20,000Hz (correct me if I am wrong).
So the power is stinging, but not lethal and it reignights the arc from the weld pool to the electrode.
The arc is stabilised and the HF overlay substantially aids in the deoxidation process by more forceably picking apart the electron bonds of the aluminium oxides...
And the HF tends to jump gaps so that the arc can be established without risk of contaminating the weld pool with tungsten or contaminating the tungsten electrode with aluminium crud.
Nuff said - time for a poo.

Could you elaborate a little more? LOL GREAT explanation !
I know this is short notice, there is a Century high frequency arc stabilizer unit with torch and regulator on ebay for turning an A/C or A/C-D/C buzz box type welder into a TIG unit. The auction # is 3858347486. A cheap way to go that works. the auction ends Dec-10-04 12:29:32 PST. This is not mine and I do not know the seller. Thought someone might be interested as ebay is where I found mine a few months ago.

Miller does still offer an arc stabilizer. I've never used one, but I assume it's probably the same technology that they use on their TIG machines, which we use all the time without problems. A vendor that I have used and has about the best pricing I have found carries them athttp://store.cyberweld.com/hfhigfreqarc.html
In short, I'd have to agree that you are far ahead to use a hi-freq and run on AC, especially if you are not real proficient at aluminum. There are, once in a while, good used TIG machines on the market that you can buy for not a lot of money. If you intend to do much aluminum, you may want to look at that option.
Good luck-
Yes, I am very aware of millers HF units, usually run $800.00 to $1,000.00, depending on what model you get. I know on one of the post's some one said the Miller unit was to expensive for them and that is why I posted about the Century unit on ebay. They do work well with A/C for aluminum as that is what I use.
To TIG weld aluminum ......
1. First you need to remove the surface layer of oxides. Do this with a wire wheel on a bench grinder or a drill if you don't have the grinder.
2. Preheat the aluminum with a torch to about 500 deg. F. If you do not do this the aluminum will dissipate the heat too quickly way from the pool you are attempting to make.
3. You are now ready to weld the aluminum. I trust you already are familair with shielding gasses.
There are tungsten electrodes with a red or green color code on them. ATM I cannot remember which one is the one you should use for aluminum, but it will make a difference. It has to do with how the electrode is alloyed and the resulting electrical conductive properties. I'll post that info tomorrow when I have it if no one else chimes in with it.
There's what you want and need to know without trying to impress others with theory that you are not going to be able to utilize.
Steve is correct that oxides need to be removed, as they actually melt at a higher temperature than the base metal, and cause all sorts of grief. We do not, however, preheat any of ours unless it is extremely massive. Aluminum does take a large amount of current to melt, due to the fact it disperses the heat so rapidly throughout it's mass, so you need to hit it with a substantial amount of amps to bring it to welding temp rapidly. Rapidly is a key word, too, as you want to confine the part that is melting to the weld zone, and not have the whole piece turn into a puddle at once.
As for the color bands on tungsten, green symbolizes pure tungsten, which is what you normally will want to use on AC current for aluminum. The main factor here is that it allows the tungsten to "ball" at the end, rather than retaining a sharp point like you would if tigging ferrous metals. The size of the tungsten is somewhat critical as well; if you are welding 1/16" or thinner, you probably want to go with a 3/32" tungsten or so. If you're doing up to 3/16" thick, an 1/8" works well, and over that you'll want to go with 5/32" Shielding gas cup size effects the process as well; the larger the cup (cone), the larger the heat area. A smaller one will maintain a more defined heat zone.
Hope this helps a bit...aluminum is fun to work with, and you can make some beautiful welds on it, but it does take a good bit of practice to master.
i always use the green striped tungstens for aluminum Tig work. i have a piece of copper plate on my table that i use to dress the tungsten before use. and generally wipe the parts off with acetone before welding aluminum.

I've always score the tungsten then break it folled by turning the welder to reverse polarity light up on a piece of copper until the electrode balls up then your ready to go.If it does'nt ball up you got the wrong tungsten.

Try the suction cup tool? Ding King is popular one. I know they make a smaller one that would be better since there is less area on the tank.
I seen a video where he heats the heats with a sol panel reflector, just to soften the paint mainly I'm sure, then sticks a metal rod in with a rubber end wrapped in cloth to keep from scratching anything and pushed it out.
I have one too, I just don't know if it's worth fixing since I may be painting in the off season(winter)
Other than that I doubt there's a magic fix. The weld/hammer pull technique is great. If you do it, just be sure to empty your gas tank in-case and if you take it somewhere remind them, just in-case.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Aggression (the good, the bad & the ugly) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/aggression-good-bad-ugly/)
- - Dogs Protecting - Is it right or not? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/aggression-good-bad-ugly/465554-dogs-protecting-right-not.html)
Dogs Protecting - Is it right or not?
I've never been in a scenario like this before, but I'm very curious on what the outcome would be. :)
OK, say that you were out walking your dog and at some point on that walk you were actually in danger. Such as a gang or whatever comes up to you to mug or bash or kidnap you and your dog steps up to the plate and uses violence to protect you. Would your dog have to be put down or confiscated or declared dangerous because your dog did the right thing and saved your life? What would be the legal outcome?
Another similar scenario. What if you were in bed asleep or just away somewhere and burglars broke into your house and they were silly enough to confront your barking dog, then the dog attacks them because they didn't get the message and were invading your/his territory. Is that wrong or right?
It depends where you live: I was told a story that someone's home was broken into here, with a GSD inside, and the scum was able to charge the homeowner with "unlawful confinement" because the dog had him cornered in the kitchen, lmao! How ridiculous is that?! This was many years ago, and I hope the case was thrown out in court, but you never know. I'll just shut up with any further comments that veer off into the political, lol. But check the laws in your own area to see what your dog can do for you. Where I live, it's pretty much nothing - maybe my dog would get off on the charges, but the legal fees involved would be a huge hassle.
I agree; it depends on where one lives.
Here in Missouri (Warrenton), I think a scenario like this would earn the title: "Dog Saves Owner from- blah blah." The dog would probably earn the title of a hero.
In larger cities, my guess would be that the dog would be viewed as viscous or aggressive.
Someone I know has. 5 GSD's and the neighbor kid broke into his garage and 2 of the dogs caught him as he was going over the fence. Each GSD had a leg, that person attempted to sue the homeowner but the judge threw the lawsuit out.
The cops would have to shoot me before I turned over my dog for protecting me. My dogs are more important that the garbage that commit such acts.
We live in OZ........laws are much different over here than the US.
Also, is it not true that many people (not all of course) get large dog breeds, especially German Shepherds, to defend their home/owner? Heck, I even know some people with little dogs and they boast how protective and brave they are. They appear to be genuinely proud when their little dogs bark at strangers. I know someone who has a very much loved outdoor Pomeranian and apparently after midnight on a Saturday night some drunken youths were teasing the dog from the other side of the fence. One tried to jump in and little Pomeranian went in to attack the young bloke, but he got out just in time.
21 Attachment(s)
Most times...if the dog is on your property, you won't get in trouble. In the United States most states have adopted "homestead laws" which allow the owner of a property to use any force they see fit in order to protect themselves or their property. So a dog, would be considered part of that defense.
In the case of a dog defending you on a walk...its off your property and will be a he said/she said situation. So its kind of who is more believable...I'd like to think most people would believe a person that is getting attacked, but who knows?
I live in the country where the victim is always wrong, even without a dog defending them. Don't even think of using a knife, baseball bat or god forbid a gun to defend yourself. Then you're a criminal who assaulted the poor little addict (mental illness) who had a crummy childhood (stunted development).
The time where a victim was a victim and a criminal who got hurt committing a crime was still a criminal are over.
Its like using a gun to protect yourself, youll be in some trouble and have to explain yourself- but would you rather be dead?

How to Select the Right Binocular
You've Selected
Narrow Your Results
How to Select the Right Binoculars
Armed with the right information about basic components, terminology and binocular types, you'll be sure to choose the right binocular for your intended applications, budget and personal preferences.
Basic Components
Binoculars are available in hundreds of specifications and with a multitude of different features, but all share the same three basic components:
1. Objective Lenses: The main (objective) lenses of a binocular serve to collect light, thereby enabling the high-resolution observation of distant objects. In a quality binocular each objective lens typically is manufactured of two separate glass elements, the so-called crown and flint elements. The refractive specifications of these elements permit the objective lens to image objects free of false colors.
2. Prisms: Since the objective lenses form images that are both upside down and reversed left for right, prisms are required to invert the primary image.
Most commonly, binoculars utilize either Porro prisms or roof prisms for this purpose. Porro prisms give binoculars their familiar zigzag profile, while roof prisms permit a straight-line design (see diagram at right). Either type of prism, properly manufactured, yields excellent optical results.
3. Eyepieces: The ocular, or eyepiece, design included with a binocular has important performance implications. While the most basic function of an eyepiece is to magnify the image formed by the objective lens, in fact the eyepiece also largely determines the binocular's field of view, edge-of-field image resolution and other characteristics listed below. Eyepieces are manufactured from two to five glass elements.
Now that you've been introduced to the basic components of a binocular, let's dive into the technical terminology and features you'll encounter while shopping for a binocular:
Binocular Specifications: Binoculars are classified as, for example, 7 x 35mm — read "seven by thirty-five millimeters." In this case the binocular is of 7-power ("7x") and includes objective lenses of 35mm (about 1.38") diameter. Other binoculars might range from a tiny 3 x 14mm to giant battleship binoculars that are 40 x 178mm.
The "WA" designation after a binocular specification, such as 7 x 35mm WA, refers to the Wide-Angle design of the binocular's eyepieces; wide-angle eyepieces can increase a binocular's visual field of view by as much as 60%.
Magnification: Magnification, or power, is perhaps the most misunderstood term of binocular optics.
While higher powers can be useful, power by itself does NOT increase the level of observable detail; image resolution is a function of objective lens diameter, not of binocular power. Higher powers result in images that are less bright and in a binocular that is more difficult to hold steady in the user's hands.
Powers of 7x or 8x are by far the most popular among regular binocular users. Binoculars with magnifications above about 12x are generally not recommended for use without a tripod.
Field of View: A binocular's field of view is measured in degrees of arc or as field-width (in feet) at 1000 yards distance.
Example: The Meade Safari Pro 7 x 36mm WA binocular has a field of view 487 ft. wide for an object 1000 yards distant from the observer, yielding a field of view specification of 487 ft. at 1000 yds. Other non-wide-angle binoculars have fields of view of perhaps 270 ft. to 320 ft. at 1000 yds.
Depending somewhat on the observer's intended applications, wide-angle binoculars are generally well worth the relatively modest additional cost involved. See illustration at right.
Lens Coatings: An uncoated optical glass lens or prism reflects about 10% of the light incident on one of its surfaces, allowing only about 90% of the light to pass through.
Standard coatings of magnesium fluoride (MgF2) applied to the lens and prism surfaces reduce the level of reflected light to about 4%, and with substantially reduced ghost images of bright objects.
More sophisticated multicoatings of 7 to 15 layers further reduce reflected light and can result in total light transmission through a lens or prism of 99% or more.
Eye Relief: Binocular users who wear eyeglasses for near- or far-sightedness may remove their glasses while observing; the binocular can fully correct for these eye defects. Observers who suffer from astigmatism, however, may need to wear their glasses to maintain sharp imaging through the binocular. In this latter case choosing a binocular with longer eye relief will enable easier binocular observing with eyeglasses.
Binocular Types
Mini Binoculars generally include objective lenses not larger than about 26mm (1") in diameter, are of a straight-line roof prism design, and are foldable for compactness and ease of transport.
Mini binoculars are small, lightweight and highly versatile in their range of applications. For example, as a moderately priced gift, it is a rare person who will not enjoy, and find many uses for, a mini binocular.
Because of their relatively small objective lenses, however, mini binoculars are not intended for high-resolution birding or other nature applications.
Compact Binoculars utilize Porro prisms to invert the image and usually are styled to form-fit comfortably in the observer's hands; objective lenses are typically 26mm in diameter or less.
As their name implies, compact binoculars, while larger than mini binoculars, are relatively small and easy to carry.
Compact binoculars are extremely popular for sporting events, as a gift item, or as a general-purpose travel binocular because, again, for all but the most advanced applications, compacts provide a good trade-off between weight, performance and cost.
Standard Porro Prism Binoculars: Most binoculars referred to as general-purpose are standard Porro prism models. The typically larger objective lens apertures, 35mm or more, of these models enable bright, high-contrast images on the entire range of viewing subjects, from sporting events, to long-range animal observation in the wild, to high-resolution study of a bird's feather structure.
A moderately priced, high-quality, standard Porro prism model is a binocular for almost any observing application. Standard Porro prism binoculars are available in a wide range of specifications and price points.
Zoom Binoculars offer the convenience of zooming to higher or lower powers at the touch of a finger.
Standard Roof Prism Binoculars: provide professional-level binocular resolution and performance. Designed usually for advanced applications, such as for serious birders, standard roof prism binoculars are typically of 35mm objective lens aperture or larger; include sleek, straight-line roof prism styling; and incorporate the finest optical glasses, multicoatings, and multi-element eyepieces. The result is bright, extremely sharp, high-resolution images throughout the field of view, and with a level of image fidelity unobtainable in lesser binoculars. Although premium-grade standard roof prism binoculars are not inexpensive, they are usually treasured for a lifetime.

Tokyo stocks opened 0.40 percent lower on Friday after the Japanese central bank said business confidence among the country's manufacturers tumbled in the final months of the year.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 39.17 points to 9,703.56 at the start of trade.
The yen remained weak after the Bank of Japan released its key Tankan survey which showed confidence among large Japanese manufacturers tumbled more than expected to minus 12 from minus three in the third quarter.
Economists had expected a reading of minus 10.
The figures represent the percentage of firms saying business conditions are good minus those saying they are bad and are a key measure used by the BoJ in formulating monetary policy.
A weak yen should help Tokyo stocks shake off European and US market sell-offs as worries intensify that Washington's fiscal cliff negotiations were dragging on with little progress, analysts said.
But "foreign investors are preparing for the Christmas holiday season, and so broad and aggressive position-taking is not likely, especially with the weekend coming up," said Hiroichi Nishi, general manager of equities at SMBC Nikko Securities.
The dollar was at 83.64 yen in early Asian trade, flat from New York Thursday afternoon.
The euro bought $1.3072 and 109.31 yen, also in line with levels in US trade.

BMW 4 Series Coupe Concept First Look
December 5, 2012
by Zach Gale
The BMW Concept 4 Series is one sexy, production-intent concept, and it better be, as its stunning design will be a major reason why consumers eschew the 3 Series sedan for the upcoming 3 Ser...err, 4 Series coupe. Making its debut at the 2013 Detroit auto show, the BMW Concept 4 Series is a close preview of what we can expect with the latest BMW 3 Series-based coupe. And aside from one nagging real-world reservation about the upcoming production-spec 4 Series, we like what we see.
The coming 4 Series coupe, convertible, and rumored Gran Coupe will enter the mid-2010s with a higher numerical designation to signify that they're that much more special than mechanically related 3 Series sedans. Whether BMW can pull off its name game remains to be seen, but the product planning crew in Munich no doubt looked to the success Audi has had with the A4-based A5 when devising its 4 Series plan.
At least in concept form, the BMW 4 Series (currently lacking details like real-world door handles and more realistically sized wheels) looks to be a bit more than just a 3 Series sedan with two doors sliced off. Wider, lower, and longer than the outgoing car, the Concept 4 Series sports a roofline that gently sweeps down into the short rear deck. And before you roll your eyes at yet another automaker resorting to fake side vents to spice up a design, BMW says these are aerodynamically functional.

The location of this hotel is excellent. They are renovating their rooms, which were looking a little tired. The staff is helpful, despite the limited amount of English spoken. Maps in a Western language available at the concierge would be helpful.
Tidiness and staff was quite helpful. The hot water treatment and shower facilities were attractive The water of the swimming pool was cold. Conciege people didn't know well except booking coach bus. The location was near the end road so it was hard to get taxi and the staff didn't help much. Choose this hotel if have arrangement prepared for car or know the way to subway to get around.

Georgia vs. Kentucky Postgame Notes
Nov. 23, 2013
Pouring On The Points: Tonight, Georgia cruised to a 42-point win, 59-17, tallying 602 yards of total offense on 82 plays. It was the most points against the Wildcats since a 62-17 win in Lexington in 2004 as well as the most in any SEC game since that contest. The 59 points was the most scored by the Bulldogs since a 63-16 win over New Mexico State in 2011. The Bulldogs scored 35 points in the first half. This is the most points Georgia has scored in one half since the 2011 Auburn game when the Bulldogs scored 35 in the first half. Georgia won that game 45-7.
Murray, Offense Roll: For the first time in six opportunities this season, Georgia elected to take the ball after winning the coin toss. The Bulldogs drove 59 yards in 1:04 as senior QB Aaron Murray (18-for-23, 183 yards, 4 TDs in just the first half) connected with senior SE Rhett McGowan for a 9-yard touchdown. The drive was set up by sophomore CB Sheldon Dawson's career-long 41-yard kickoff return. However, Murray left the game with a left knee injury at the end of the second quarter and did not return. Senior TE Arthur Lynch finished with four catches for 42 yards and a career-high two touchdowns.
Murray's all-time SEC records now stand at: Completions (921), Passing Yards (13,166), TD Passes (121) and Total Offense (13,562). Murray moved to No. 2 on the SEC all-time list for Pass Attempts with 1,478 (Jared Lorenzen-Kentucky, 1,514). In addition, he tied David Greene with the most starts for a non-kicker in school history with 52, which is the most for any active NCAA player (school record is 53 by Blair Walsh).
Murray also became the first QB in SEC history to have at least 3,000 yards passing for four seasons. Murray hit the 3,000 mark exactly on a 16-yard touchdown pass to sophomore TB Todd Gurley. As of today, there have been three other QBs in FBS history to have more than 3,000 in four seasons, including current Troy QB Corey Robinson.
Mason Relieves Murray: Junior QB Hutson Mason took over the offense late in the second quarter and drove the Bulldogs 57 yards on five plays for another touchdown. He hit Gurley for a 24-yard touchdown pass to give the Bulldogs a 35-10 edge. Mason finished 4-for-5 for 57 yards on his first drive, and for the game, he was 13-for-19 for 189 yards and one touchdowns to go with his second career rushing touchdown. One of Mason's passes went to senior TE Hugh Williams who caught his first career ball, a 28-yarder. Reserve QBs Parker Welch and Faton Bauta also saw action in the fourth quarter. Gurley finished with five catches for team-high 90 yards and two touchdowns to go with eight carries for 77 yards (9.6 average). Before sustaining a hamstring injury against #6 LSU and missing the next three games, he had five catches for 42 yards and a touchdown. Since coming back, Gurley has recorded 21 catches for 266 yards and three touchdowns.
Points Off Turnovers: The Bulldogs are minus-seven in turnover margin after recovering three fumbles and giving up an interception and one fumble. Georgia has scored 45 points off 12 turnovers while opponents have tallied 45 points off 19 Bulldog miscues. Senior DE Garrison Smith forced a fumble in the opening period that sophomore OLB Jordan Jenkins recovered. Two plays later, Murray hit Lynch for a 1-yard score. In the second quarter, freshman Reggie Davis fumbled a punt on the Georgia 26-yard line. Kentucky later booted a 24-yard field goal. Murray threw his ninth interception of the year later in the game and Kentucky punted on its next possession. Sophomore SS Josh Harvey-Clemons forced a fumble and recovered it in the third quarter. Two plays later, freshman TB J.J. Green scored the third rushing touchdown of his career. Freshman OLB Leonard Floyd tallied a sack later in the third quarter and stripped the ball. Harvey-Clemons recovered this loose ball as well. Freshman TB Brendan Douglas then ran in his third career touchdown.
Leading Tackler: Junior linebacker Ramik Wilson had a team-high nine tackles, including a sack. He came in tonight leading the SEC in tackles with 110. Senior Garrison Smith tallied two forced fumbles with seven tackles, including two sacks and three tackles for loss. Harvey-Clemons also racked up six tackles, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.
Captains: Today's game captains were Murray, Smith, senior Corey Campbell (FB) and senior Connor Norman (FS).
Injury Report: Murray (left knee), redshirt sophomore DE Sterling Bailey (right ankle) and freshman FS Tray Matthews (left hamstring) left the game in the second quarter. Murray and Bailey did not return but Matthews returned in the third quarter.
Up Next: Georgia (7-4, 5-3 SEC) closes out the regular season at Georgia Tech on Nov. 30. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. The network televising the game will be either ESPN/ESPN2 or ABC and will be announced Sunday.

Daily Gratitudes(969 Posts)
i was listening to Nina Simone's "Ain't Got No..." here or better one and i got to thinking about gratitude. apparently regular grateful thinking can increase happiness by as much as 25 percent just by wanting what one actually has. so i hope maybe that we can regularly write about the things that go well for us each day, no matter how little they are. from any faith and no faith too.
il start by saying over the past few days im grateful that...
1. its the middle of september and ds1 hasnt had to use his blue inhaler once
2. id worried that dd wouldnt like her new school but shes settled in very quickly
3. the sun shone brightly so i went exploring around my local high street
4. i have learnt how to make chai tea for myself now
5. the house is cosy and warm
Actually camping was interesting gratitudes wise ....
as I settled down for the night on my overly squishy air-bed (alongside dd) with the tent flapping in the wind, and listening to the pitter-patter of rain falling, I was thankful for shelter, and thought of those sheltering with their families in camps in Syria. Also thought of this thread and our habitual good and grounding gratitude for shelter.
Was extra thankful too for the cup of tea my DBil brought out to me in the morning.
dear juggling your gratitudes are always so lovely to read. your spirituality really comes through the things that you mention to be thankful for.
iv not had the time to mention your Quakerism but its always been a religious tradition iv had alot of respect for, them and the unitarians for their anti slavery work in the UK and the USA. one of the women who really inspires me in my field is Jocelyn Bell Burnell - who was president of the Institute of Physics last year but is also a Quaker. i watched an interview she had on BBC's Hardtalk and she spoke about the Quaker tradition and how it inspired her to push herself as a woman in a male dominated field she works in.
sunny day,
for kind people, not just nice, but also kind,
DH finishes work early today so can get the dc from school,
DB is doing well in his new place,
I've met Jocelyn and some of her family (though not quite actually spoken to Jocelyn) She seems a very thoughtful person.
Daily gratitudes ...
For a bright, sunny day.
For some interesting job opportunities
For the interesting, rewarding work I've been able to do over the years, including the training and support along the way.
For the time and space I have at the moment to eg. enjoy the wild roses in our garden
To be back home in my own warm, comfy bed (after our camping weekend)!
For the DC's and my family and friends
Just a quick one today:

Am grateful for dc having time w friends/family
A much more engaged day for me too-reaching out to others and vice-versa
sounds great salbertina!
i also got that impression from watching her juggling, she also came across as humble though she had so many achievements to her name. i really hope all those job opportunities come to fruition for you God Willing.
for my children,
for my husband,
for my parents,
my friends,
my neighbours,

Today I am grateful for my lovely DD1, who helped me to do the shopping, and DD2, who made lunch.

Annunziata- are your kids available for hire? They sound delightful!
battling to get mine to load the dishwasher/feed the cat/walk the hound

sunny weekend, watching my DDs clean the garden furniture (translation: squirting each other with the hose whilst pretending to clean the bird poo off the chairs )
Good teachers allocated to my DDs for next term
All the exciting things planned for the end of term by their school
DD loved Glastonbury thanks Salbertina. Very wet and muddy on arrival, and she was desperately trying to stay mud free, but due to oversize wellies, managed after 10 minutes to fall face down into it.

I was part of a group in this section and then got caught up in a real life hard-to-deal-with situation and let it just fade away.
I am very sad about that and would like to begin to concentrate on the positive things in my life again.

Lovely to see you Earthmama, glad you're in a place where such a thread has something to offer you.
Today, I'm grateful for friend for dc1 (not always easy), warmish, dry shelter and lots of food for us all.

For an increasing sense of perspective after a slightly busy, crazy few days.
All will be well x
Hello How is everyone?
Am shattered so will be quick -
I am grateful
that DS1's graduation went really well. Ceremony was lovely, weather was nice, meal was fab, hotel clean and comfortable, DS1 was handsome and smart in his kilt - a beautiful day.
God gave me the strength and energy to get through it and to travel there and back without too many problems.
Summer Mission is going REALLY, REALLY well. We have about 60 kids every day. All of them are having a ball singing, dancing, crafting and learning about things like Creation, David and Goliath, Daniel in the Lions' Den...
All of the children at Mission have settled well and things are going smoothly
God is giving me the strength and energy to just about cope. Will be off to bed soon, but will manage again in the morning - all things are possible in Christ who strengthens me!

This is a discussion on Lawyer Joke within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; ...
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.
Rudyard Kipling
Their are no lawyer jokes.
Their are only true stories about lawyers that happen to be funny.
Good one Captain
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Criminal lawyer is redundant......
What's funny about that?
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
Who is John Galt?
A guy walks into a bar and says all lawyer's are Buttholes. Another guy stands up and says I resent that. The first says are you a lawyer. The second guy says no I'm a Butthole.
OK, as long as this was started (and my sincere apologies to any attorneys out there)...
Picture this: A lawyer, is all alone in the middle of the desert, surrounded by sand and desolation, and is buried up to his nose in the sand.
What's missing from this picture?
One more bucket of sand.

Why do they bury lawyers 12 feet down rather than 6 feet like everyone else?
Cause down deep they are really nice guys.
What is the difference between a lawyer and a catfish?
One is a bottom dwelling, garbage eating, scum sucker
and the other is a fish.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. – The Little East Conference volleyball coaches have selected the 22nd ranked Beacons to win the conference title in 2014 with the release of the preseason poll Tuesday afternoon.
The Beacons earned six of the seven first place votes and a combined 48 points. Keene State College, last year's conference tournament runner-up, collected one first place vote and a total of 40 points. In third was Western Connecticut State University with a combined 37 points, and right behind them was Plymouth State University with 35 points in fourth place.
Eastern Connecticut State University was picked to finish fifth after earning a total of 34 points. UMass Dartmouth was selected sixth overall with 22 points, while the University of Southern Maine and Rhode Island College closed out this year's coaches poll with 16 and 13 points respectively.
If the Beacons were to claim the title in 2014, it would mark the sixth straight. Last season, UMass posted an undefeated record during the regular season, before dispatching Western Connecticut and Keene State in the conference tournament. The Beacons would then go-on to win the NCAA Regional Tournament for the second straight season.
Last season, Julia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) led the Beacons offense and the Little East Conference with a .298 hitting percentage. She would earn conference Co-Player of the Year honors and was also recognized by the ECAC and NEWVA. Fellow sophomore Elizabeth Glavan (Edina, Minn.), became the first Defensive Player of the Year in program history after collecting an impressive 5.27 digs per game. An AVCA All-Region honoree, Glavan was named the Tournament MVP at the NCAA Regional in Williamstown, MA.
The Beacons will begin the 2014 season this Saturday at Haverford College (Pa.). Their conference opener is slated for Monday, September 22 at 6 p.m. against Rhode Island College.
