Technical Abstract: The negative impacts of soil compaction on crop yields can often be alleviated by subsoiling. However, this subsoiling operation is often conducted at unnecessarily deep depths where it wastes energy and disturbs surface residue necessary for erosion control and soil quality. A corn (Zea mays L.)-cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) rotation experiment was conducted for four years on a Coastal Plain soil with a hardpan in east-central Alabama to evaluate the potential for site-specific subsoiling (tilling just deep enough to eliminate the hardpan layer) to improve crop yields and conserve energy. Both crops showed benefits of subsoiling as compared to the no-subsoiling treatment. Site-specific subsoiling produced yields equivalent to deep subsoiling treatment while not excessively disturbing surface soil and residues. Significant reductions in draft force and drawbar power were found for site-specific subsoiling as compared to uniform deep subsoiling. Producers in the Coastal Plains who can determine the depth of their root-impeding layer and can provide site-specific subsoiling to loosen compacted soil profiles should have comparable yields and reduced energy requirements as those producers who use uniform deep subsoiling.

Ask a Neurologist. Get Answers to Your Neurology Questions.
Thanks for your question.
Are you available to chat?
I am a board certified neurologist in the U.S. I will be happy to help.
Are you there?
Great. Welcome.
So your concern is a very understandable.
After surgery, memory problems can be seen in some cases, especially in the elderly.
This condition is termed "post-operative cognitive dysfunction", and is an issue that has become recognized more in the last few years.
Do you drink alcohol in any excess or smoke, sir?
no to smoking and 1 glass of wine daily am in good health and take no prescriptions I experienced memory problems months after a colonoscpy
OK. Thanks for this information.
How long did the memory problems go on for/
6 to 8 months and then improved somewhat. I had no problems after shoulder surgery, as I said he used another gas.
OK. If this is the case, I would strongly advise you to ask the anesthesiologist the exact name of the case that was used, to see if it could be used again for future surgeries.
The information we are aware of this day in age do not specify which medications in particular produce less risk for POCD.
However, what we do know is that you should request that the lowest effective dose of sedation be used in surgery, to try to have less medication in your system if possible.
Also, having conscious sedation or less invasive type of sedation (rather than general anesthesia) may result in lower risk of experiencing post operative memory problems.
We also know that infections and breathing complications after surgery will increase the chance of memory loss, so these should be avoided or treated promptly if possible to reduce this risk.
One more point would be to have the surgery as short as possible, as longer operation times may increase the risk of this problem too.
You should of course talk with any anesthesiologist who will be sedating you in the future, to inform them of the problem you had experienced in the past with the colonoscopy. This will help them take added precautions.
There are a few inhalational anesthetics (administered by a gas) which are used these days, and they include nitrous oxide, isoflurane, and desflurane. However, I can not be sure which of these (if any) was used in your particular case, as you can understand.
I did tell the anesthesiologist before my colonoscopy but he just brush me off saying the shoulder surgery was with gas and we us IV which resulted in my problem. I need cataract surgery and hemroid surgery which use IV and I need an answer or not have the surgery
Both of these surgeries are relatively minor, and my suggestion would be to let the doctors know the issues you had with IV anesthesia. It may have been that they used high doses of medication or a combination of medications which caused your problem. You can always get the medical records of the colonoscopy to know exactly what you received, and to give this information to your future anesthesiologist/treating doctor.
There is not one particular IV medication that is "better" than another, for any given person. This is very individual.
Again, low doses, shorter surgeries, minimizing complications all will help prevent such a problem in the future.
You could ask for a inhalational anesthetic (gas), as it sounds like this worked better for you previously.
I had hoped you could tell me what gas to ask for.
I cannot possibly know the exact gas you had received, but you could easily find this out. Common ones include nitrous oxide, isoflurane, and desflurane.
Simply call the medical records department or doctor's office who did your surgery with the gas, and they will be able to tell you what was used for you in that situation.
Shouldn't be a difficult issue.
Best of luck. Please keep in mind the various things I mentioned, which should help you with this issue. Please let me know if there are more questions. If this has been helpful, please don't forget to click on the happy face/accept button to acknowledge the time taken to answer your question.
Thank you. You answered the best youcould even tho you have told me nothing I didn't already know. I have one more problem with this chat. Right after i authorised the credit card the card company called and asked if I authorised it . I said yes Then then asked if I authorized a $1 transaction and I said no. Then said they was blocking my card and would issue a new one. This hasn't been a pleasant outcome!
You are very welcome. I think you understand there are some limitations in terms of what I can realistically answer with any given information, but that I have given you the most complete response possible. I sincerely XXXXX XXXXX the best of luck and hopefully you can read over my suggestions again to make sure you understood all that I have advised. Best wishes!
What about the $1 charge.
Any questions regarding billing can be brought up with the justanswer site. They will certainly help you with that.
They will instruct you on what happened on that occasion, sorry to hear if there was some confusion.
Don't forget to click on happy face so I can receive credit for my work.
I'm sorry I can't give you a good rating when I get my credit card blocked because I decided to chat whith you. somethings wrong.
In that case, simply realize that I spent more than 30 minutes in conversation with you, and hopefully when the credit card issue is resolved, you can return and click on good rating (to not penalize me for the issue you are having with the site). Have a good day and best of luck!
I have checked with my credit card company and they said there was no apparent fraud involved and they would unblock my card. That was the only problem I had with the chat and would like to again thank you for the service and change the rating to good. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
No problem at all. I am glad the situation was resolved. Please make sure to click on the happy face or positive rating, that would be much appreciated.

Hungarian ambassador to discuss international politics
The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, call 410-857-2294.
A foreign-service diplomat and member of the College's governing board since 1994, Somogyi's career spans over three decades, travel to more than 50 countries, and ambassador postings in Rangoon, Burma, between 1969 and 1971 and to Lagos, Nigeria, between 1971 and 1973. A member of the Hungarian Socialist Party, he was the deputy ambassador to the United Nations during the 1980s, served as foreign minister from 2004-6, and was in 2007 appointed Hungarian Ambassador to the United States.
Somogyi has witnessed and participated in world events of profound historic significance. He was a member of the small group of Hungarian political leaders who chose to allow East German tourists to cross the Hungarian border into Western Europe. Thus began a chain of extraordinary events that ultimately led to the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
Somogyi also helped in the reshaping of Eastern and Central Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union and played a key role in negotiating the withdrawal of Russian troops from Hungary. In 1997, he led the Hungarian delegation in the talks for Hungary's NATO accession.
In the private sector, Somogyi was the director of Euro-Atlantic integration at Matáv, the Hungarian telecommunications firm, from 1998-2001. From 2001-4 he was the CEO of Stonebridge Communications AD in Skopje, Macedonia, and from 2006-7 was the director for international affairs for Magyar Telekom in Budapest.
He holds a doctorate in World Economics from the University of Economics in Budapest, and undergraduate degrees from the University of Economics and the College for Political Sciences in Budapest.
The Resnick Lecture is part of a series established in 1999 by Alvin and Elaine Mintzes to honor their friends, Alleck A. and Harriet S. Resnick.

A very complex mobile value chain and a growing business reliance on mobile products have created the need for services that help businesses maximize the value of their mobile investments. In a recent report from ABI Research, mobile device management (MDM) services are forecast to grow from $583 million in 2007 to over $20 billion by 2013, for a compound annual growth rate of 80%.
Mobile device management services include policy development, procurement and asset management, billing audit and reconciliation, enhanced customer care, device/content security, and additional services that are vertical- and occupation-specific. According to principal analyst Dan Shey, The range of services needed to manage a businesss mobile investments requires inputs from many different wireless equipment and services providers including operators, MDM platform vendors, IT services providers, telecom expense management firms, and mobility management services firms. All want to be part of the action.
But the biggest disruptors for the market have yet to make their mark on the industry. Mobile device management platforms are slowly evolving with more and more capabilities for mobile device management services. Their increasing functionality on a growing base of device platforms automates many important mobile device management processes. Not only can these platforms be employed by many value chain suppliers, but more importantly, businesses can acquire and use these platforms themselves.
Shey concludes, Operators are the dark horses in this race: they provide and appropriate revenues for nearly all mobile capabilities, they already use MDM platforms, and they value the mobile business customer highly. MDM platforms, and the possible participation scenarios of the mobile operator, beg the question: Who will manage?

[UCL PREVIEW: Zenit St. Petersburg vs. Borussia Dortmund] This is not the manner by which many observers figured a beaten finalist in last year's Champions League final would progress to this year's knockout stage.
Only by scoring in the 87th minute of its group finale against Marseille did Borussia Dortmund squeeze into the round of
16, in which it plays at Zenit St. Petersburg Tuesday (live on Fox Sports 1, noon ET) in the first leg. Yet it still topped Group F ahead of Arsenal and Napoli and thus gets the second leg at home.
Though it lost, 3-0, to Hamburg in Bundesliga play Saturday, Borussia is back into a normal routine after the German winter break. Zenit is in the midst of a much longer break: it has not
played a competitive game since finishing group play against Austria Vienna and has toured Qatar, Israel and Turkey to prepare for the Champions League series as well as the resumption of league
action March 9.
"We've watched all Zenit's games," Borussia Dortmund head coach Jurgen Klopp said, "including those at their training camp in Israel and
in the group stage, particularly against Atletico Madrid and Porto. Ourselves and Zenit were in difficult groups -- I would consider Atletico to be a dark horse for the Champions League."
Russian international Aleksandr Kerzhakov and Brazilian striker Hulk lead the Zenit attack. Each scored two goals
in group play. Andrei Arshavin, a central figure in Russia's impressive showing at Euro 2008 that earned him a contract with Arsenal, played in all six
group matches without scoring. Zenit compiled just six points to advance out of group play; it last reached this stage two years ago and was eliminated by Benfica.
Zenit will be
shorthanded for the first leg -- Roman Shirokov, Cristian Ansaldi and Danny will
not play – but it does have Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, a member of the Bayern Munich squad who beat Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final and faced it
on three other occasions in league and cup play. After helping Zenit win the 2008 UEFA Cup he played four seasons for Bayern and returned to Russia last summer. His next Champions League appearance
will be his 50th.
Tymoshchuk doesn't take much stock in Borussia's Bundesliga defeat. "That happens when a team is preparing for the Champions League," he said.
"In the Bundesliga everything is clear, Bayern can be called champions. Dortmund are also focused on the Champions League, so I would not be surprised if they specifically left something to
spare before meeting us."
He played down the effects of a long layoff from competitive play. "We worked so hard in training that we did not have time to shave," said
Tymoshchuk, who did indeed sport a beard at the team's training session Monday. "Two training sessions a day. We are very well prepared, the sessions were well organized and the team
worked on high-performance tasks set by the coaching staff. So we are ready for tomorrow's match."
Centerback Mats Hummel has been battling
heel and ankle injuries the past three months and may be available for Dortmund, but defender Neven Subotic and midfielder Jakub Baszczykowski are out for the season with knee injuries. Midfielder Sven Bender suffered a groin injury against Hamburg and will miss at
least two months, though Marco Reus can step into that spot.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has struck six goals
in his last seven games to take some of the scoring burden off Robert Lewandowski, who led the team with four goals in its six group matches and is tied for the
Bundesliga lead in scoring with 14. Aubameyang, who hails from Gabon, is right behind him with 13.
Says Zenit head coach Luciano Spalletti,
"Dortmund are a very strong team who last year played in the Champions League final -- that says a lot. The Champions League commands a lot of effort and attention and can affect the preceding
game or the one that follows. We are working to keep pace and, in time, grow and improve. Behind us we have a big city and a huge number of fans who care about the club."

After accidentally touching an unknown drug, Taylor Briggs (Billy Zane)
begins having flashbacks to the life of someone else -- a child
abductor who has never been caught. Can he put the pieces together and
solve the crime before the kidnapper abducts again?
I have said in other reviews that Billy Zane really makes a movie. My trust in that statement was fractured after seeing "The Mad" (though I don't blame Zane), but once more restored after this picture. He appears in practically every scene. While not the greatest film you'll see (it has a very made-for-TV or straight-to-video feel about it), the plot is interesting and the characters likable. Billy Zane, of course, helps tremendously by being the evil twin of Ben Affleck.
It also helps to have Dennis Hopper play Taylor's foster father Max Lichtenstein, although his only purpose in this film is to show up at random times with a few beers and cigars. Oh well, he's still better here than he was in "Land of the Dead". "Max," says Hopper, "is a guy whose wife has died and he's sort of coasting through life a bit like a ghost. But it's a really warm relationship that he has with Taylor -- something genuine and real." That's a good quote. And Hopper knows Max, if the rumors are true, because he spent weeks studying his lines despite being a relatively small character -- residents around town would catch him in restaurants reading. Tricia Helfer was also pretty decent, though not particularly noteworthy.
This was a plot-driven film, to be sure. Rated R for "language and frightening images", there's no nudity or gore here. The frightening images, as far as I can tell, are just a person in a mask. Nothing really disturbing. There's a photo album that may be thought as disturbing by some. I thought it was deviously brilliant.
The plot was excellent because it's not only a thriller but also a mystery (a race against time to solve a child abduction case, while the lead also must find how he's connected to the kidnapper). There's even sub-mysteries (such as how the lead's girlfriend knows about the kidnappings) that might leave you guessing. And random shout-out: nice use of a cell phone as a flashlight. We've all been there.
I give this film credit because I thought I had it figured out before it was half over. My two guesses about certain plots were close, but ultimately both wrong. There's a few twists you won't see coming. The "big reveal" is disappointing only if you're being overly critical, as they sort of dump it all on you at once for no reason. But I thought it was okay.
I wouldn't have rented this film on my own, but having been asked to review it, I'm glad I did. If you're scanning the new releases and find this, you could do much worse. I saw it with two friends and we all seemed to enjoy it, so it caters to a wider range than just myself. And Billy Zane and Dennis Hopper are in it. Worth checking out if you want a story different from your usual serial killers and splatter films.

A Pleasant Surprise From Zane and Hopper
After accidentally touching an unknown drug, Taylor Briggs (Billy Zane)
begins having flashbacks to the life of someone else -- a child
abductor who has never been caught. Can he put the pieces together and
solve the crime before the kidnapper abducts again?
I almost did not rent this movie due to the art on the DVD jacket,
which is similar to the horror genre, but I gave it a look-see just in
case. I'm glad I did.
Even though I had the baddie figured out early on in the movie, I found the concept of genetic memories with a different slant in a movie to be interesting. I wish more had been added into this subject regarding the powder and the Indians, which would have given this movie more of a smart flash.
Regardless, I did enjoy the performances of Zane, Margaret and Hopper. I was pleasantly surprised to see Zane with more meat on his bones and is becoming a more seasoned actor. Of course, from a female perspective, I certainly didn't turn away when he took his shirt off! He's still hot. I think that this threesome made a very good complimentary combination together, and would like to see other movies similarly cast.
The movie didn't really drag too much in my opinion as other comments made here. There are more visuals than explaining dialog/narrative, which were all very well done. If more dollars could have gone into this movie, it would have been a bigger box office seller. The talent was definitely there in the casting, directing, audio and visuals, but stops a wee short in lacking the extra substance, such as what I've mentioned ... something more about the genetic memory angle.
All in all, I liked this movie and recommend the rental fee, and enjoy some popcorn.
not a bad way to spend a weeknight
This is a neat little movie, if you ignore some of the obvious clichés
and TV movie pacing. But it is NOT for gore-hounds and ppl turned on by
SAW type violence.
Given of course that you don't let logic come in the way...as the plot is convoluted and the 'scientific' theories pretty laughable...plus a somewhat predictable ending...plus the movie is longer than judgment day...we dozed off about 5 diff times Glad we stayed till the end tho. Because what this movie has going for it is a return to an older, more conventional serial killer storyline. With good atmospheric buildup, and thankfully minimal gore, so that you could at least think about watching it with family. Don't know about you, but I'm kinda getting sick and tired of all the SAW and HOSTEL ripoffs.
Don't expect much from the actors. For those who've tracked their careers, Billy Zane and D Hopper have been collecting paychecks for a while now, and they sleepwalk thru their roles here as well. Oldtimer Ann Margret puts in a decent performance, tho the role hardly requires acting ability.

Good Basic Tool Kit for Home or Travel
By KevlarHeart
from White Plains, NY USA
About Me Avid Cyclist
Bought this as a quick re-start to home bike mechanic work as most of my tools disappeared over the years.Nashbar Essential Tool Kit provides a fairly comprehensive set of tools needed to make basic repairs. There are some hits and misses on tool selection and quality, but overall this is a great starting place for the beginner/intermediate home mechanic. The handy carrying case makes this easy to store at home, or in a car when traveling with bicycles. All of the bases are covered from drive train to wheels to tires. A couple of misses: There is absolutely no documentation as to which tool is which. I should think a beginner might want to know what's in the box. Having the socket wrenches on the backside of the pedal wrench prevents the use of a narrow cheater bar pipe....something a pedal wrench sometimes requires. Cone wrench set is fairly flimsy, but gets the job done. The BB wrench was a mystery, never fit on any of the three bikes I was working on. The patch kit is seriously low end...best to leave it out, or upgrade the quality. Suggestions: Add 3-way 4, 5, 6 mm hex tool. That's probably the BEST tool a new mechanic can have. Add a Bike Mechanics basics guide, or at the very least a tool ID card. Either of these could be fitted to a recessed portion on the front or rear of the carrying case.Overall, this is a great starting point. Serious bike work will likely result in purchasing higher quality, more durable tools, but the Nashbar Essential Tool Kit is a great thing to have around in the shop or on the road.
Great for a starter kit
By Home tinkerer
from Arizona
Nice assortment and good price on a starter kit. I'm not sure what I will need first. I should be able to fix most things that would require a trip to the bike shop. My bikes are new. A booklet with the name of the tool and a picture of its possible use would have been nice. I will figure it out, but that would have been a nice inexpensive addition.

Nice set at great price
By bsr
from Greensboro, NC
Bought this initially for the cassette tool and chain whip on the principle that I'd spend about twice as much for a variety of tools that I'd probably need at some point. Tools are better quality--at least heavier--than I expected. Chain tool and bottom bracket tool work fine. Would have preferred a bladed spoke holder in lieu of loose Allen wrenches, but you're getting a range of decent-quality tools for a fraction of what you'd pay for separate tools or for a higher-end kit that most people won't need.

Some people look to groundhogs on Feb. 2 to determine how long winter will last. In Brightwood, residents are turning to their own mountain beaver, Barlow Boomer.
Residents are planning the first Mountain Boomer Day Celebration for 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 2, at Barlow Wayside Park.
After determining if Boomer the mountain beaver sees his shadow, and whether there are six more weeks of winter, participants are invited on a mile-long walk through a section of the park.
'Some think this day is all about another kind of rodent made famous by Bill Murray in the movie 'Groundhog Day,'' said Mitch Williams, a Barlow Wayside Park mover and shaker. 'In fact, Feb. 2 began in England as 'Hedgehog Day.' Here we have Barlow Boomer, and we so look forward to seeing him again.'

NM coach accused of illegally performing physicals
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — A former Las Cruces middle school basketball coach arrested in a child pornography case is facing other charges.
Police say 33-year-old Erik B. Khan now is accused of illegally performing [auth] physical exams on at least three juvenile student-athletes.
They say Khan is being held on suspicion of one count of criminal sexual contact of a minor and three felony counts of practicing medicine without a license.
Police investigators and federal agents learned that sometime prior to the 2007 basketball season, Khan allegedly performed physical exams on Picacho Middle School student-athletes in a locker room.
In May, Khan was arrested and accused of 15 felony counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
Police say he allegedly used an automated computer software program to download or share child pornography.

Not technically color dilution alopecia since "alopecia" is hair loss. Just color dilution.
It doesn't matter what color it is, that is being diluted.
Color Dilution Alopecia doesn't care whether it's a silver or a charcoal. They are both dilute.

6:00AM - I was pretty sure I had peed the bed. Upon waking up the rest of the way and feeling intense tightening in my gut, I realized my water broke and I was in labor! I was 2 weeks late and had scheduled a c-section for 4 days later, so I was ready!
The contractions came pretty immediately after my water broke and they were every 3-4 minutes. I wanted to wait as long as possible to go to the hospital, so my mom, sis, hubs and I went for a walk. We walked about 2 miles, stopping every so often for the stronger contractions. We came home. We ate lunch. I took a shower and put my face on. At one point I looked at my Mom and said,
This is freakin sweet!
I was so excited for the labor. I'm a certified labor assistant and nurse and I knew exactly what I wanted. I wanted to go all natural. Labor at home for a while. Jam to the songs on my iPod. Wear my little black dress.
5:00 PM - Contractions were about every 2 minutes. I felt like I was making huge progress. I felt empowered. I am woman hear me roar. I breathed through each contraction, and smiled after, knowing each one was bringing me closer to my baby.
7:00 PM - Contractions were getting pretty intense. When I started feeling lots of pressure, I got scared that we waited to long, and to the hospital we went.
Getting picture ready
I was in complete shock. What in the world had my body been doing for the past 14 hours?
I showered. (Then put my face back on and straightened my hair.) I tried to sleep, with no luck. I walked. I had contractions every 2 minutes.
12:00 AM Checked again.
Cooper wasn't born on April, 26. Stay tuned.

How green is your love life? "Eco-sex" gets on it
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - You drive a hybrid, eat organic, and are passionate about recycling. But how green is your love life?
Think about those lovely Valentine's Day roses and the environmental costs of growing them and the carbon miles involved in flying them in from faraway lands.
And what about used condoms, tossed into the toilet and making their way into sewers that perhaps pollute the ocean?
If an ecologically sustainable life between the sheets hasn't crossed your mind, you're still a "total environmental neophyte", according to author Stefanie Iris Weiss.
But help is on the way with Weiss's new handbook "Eco-Sex", which leaves no stone unturned in its mission to bring the bedroom front and center into the battle to save the planet.
"I have always wanted to write a sex book. I am a very committed greenie, and I have been a vegetarian for 20 years. I saw a gap in the market and I couldn't believe no one had written about this topic," Weiss, 38, told Reuters.
"I think green sex is having its moment right now. I think it is the next big thing in green. People are realizing that their every day, most intimate habits, are deeply connected to this horrible crisis we are in," she said.
"Eco-Sex" will land on retail bookshelves on March 31 by Ten Speed Press. Continued...

THE Herald Sun's footy experts reveal the guns you must pick, who to avoid and the best smokies for SuperCoach in 2013.
Still sweating on who to pick in SuperCoach this season? Our experts are here to help.
Some of the biggest SuperCoach nuts in the Herald Sun office nominate the players you must pick (lock) and avoid (burn) in each position - plus a smokie selection that will set you apart from the crowd.
The result is a great resource - the only problem is they don't all agree.
Check back during the week as we update this list with more teams ... and perhaps some late team changes.
Sam Edmund (coach of With the Wind)
Lock: Bryce Gibbs (Carl)
Burn: Heath Scotland (Carl)
Smokie: Chris Newman (Rich)
Lock: Gary Ablett (GC)
Burn: Matthew Boyd (WB)
Smokie: Brent Moloney (BL)
Lock: Dean Cox (WC)
Burn: Matthew Leuenberger (BL)
Smokie: Billy Longer (BL)
Lock: Tom Rockliff (BL)
Burn: Travis Varcoe (Geel)
Smokie: Patrick Karnezis (BL)
Sam says: Newman has been released up the ground and will be an excellent point of difference, Boyd's ineffectiveness has always hurt him in SuperCoach – even when the Dogs were a finals side – and Cox is a monty with Nic Nat injured. Varcoe has never been an accumulator and this won't change down back, but Karnezis is screaming "pick me!" having been rejuvenated on a wing.
Scott Gullan (coach of Danny Delre Lives)
Lock: Brendon Goddard (Ess)
Burn: Brian Lake (Haw)
Smokie: Campbell Heath (PA)
Lock: Gary Ablett (GC)
Burn: Shane Tuck (Rich)
Smokie: Jaegar O'Meara (GC)
Lock: Matthew Kruezer (Carl)
Burn: Aaron Sandilands (Frem)
Smokie: Daniel Currie (NM)
Lock: Travis Varcoe (Geel)
Burn: Jarrad Waite (Carl)
Smokie: Joe Daniher (Ess)
Scott says: The ruck division is the place to cut costs. With fitness doubts over Sandilands and Nic Nat plus Cox getting on in years, you will be better served using the cash on elite players elsewhere.
Get your SuperCoach DRAFT party started here
Matt Windley (coach of Windles' Warriors)
Lock: Bryce Gibbs (Carl)
Burn: Chad Cornes (PA)
Smokie: Lewis Stephenson (PA)
Lock: Jobe Watson (Ess)
Burn: Adam Cooney (WB)
Smokie: Daniel Hannebery (Syd)
Lock: Dean Cox (WC)
Burn: Ben Hudson (Coll)
Smokie: Sam Rowe (Carl)
Lock: Brent Macaffer (Coll)
Burn: Matthew Pavlich (Frem)
Smokie: Jake Neade (PA)
Matt says: Jobe Watson might not be everyone's first choice, but he's a possible captain candidate for mine. Ultra consistent and can score through the roof - last year's numbers are too good to ignore. Bryce Gibbs is a valuable tip for the defence given his dual-position status, Dean Cox is a lock every year and Brent Macaffer might well be the year's most popular pick up. My tip? Take a punt on a few mid-ranged players who you think might make a big jump up in price this season.

Al Paton (coach of Don't Argue)
Lock: Dyson Heppell (Ess)
Burn: Sam Fisher (StK)
Smokie: Hamish Hartlett (PA)
Lock: Jaeger O'Meara (GC)
Burn: Luke Ball (Coll)
Smokie: David Mundy (Frem)
Lock: Daniel Currie (NM)
Burn: Nic Naitanui (WC)
Smokie: Tom Bellchambers (Ess)
Lock: Tom Rockliff (BL)
Burn: Chris Knights (Rich)
Smokie: Matthew Wright (Adel)
Al says: Started with a bunch of mid-pricers in my squad but as NAB Cup has progressed it's looking more like guns and rookies. The forward line might be the exception with a severe lack of bargain basement players who will actually get game time. Of the mid-range options there, Pat Karnezis is the clear standout. In the middle I'm looking for some value in cheaper premiums (like Mundy) who have a much bigger upside than Jobe, Selwood and Co.
Sam Landsberger
Lock: Bryce Gibbs (Carl)
Burn: Harry O'Brien (Coll)
Smokie: Pearce Hanley (BL)
Lock: Dane Swan (Coll)
Burn: Chris Judd (Carl)
Smokie: Brent Moloney (BL)
Lock: Daniel Currie (NM)
Burn: Ben McEvoy (St K)
Smokie: Tom Bellchambers (Ess)
Lock: Pat Karnezis (BL)
Burn: Dale Thomas (Coll)
Smokie: Josh Kennedy (WC)
Sam says: Take the Grant Thomas approach. Rucks are overrated. I'm happy taking one premium and three rookies into Round 1 and splashing cash around elsewhere. Grab a superstar like Dean Cox and throw Dan Currie a guernsey and beef-up that midfield. Thommo was onto something.

: What about Keratin therapy?
Have you thought about Brazalian Keratin Therapy treatment? You can buy the kit from a drug store and do it yourself at home. I did it a while back and it actually made my hair healthier! The ad says it's a 30-day treatment, but mine lasted for 3 months and I LOVED it. I did not have to use a flattening iron after I did this, my hair was wash and go and still stayed straight. The only drawback is the time you have to let the stuff sit on your hair without putting it in a ponytail or washing it (72 hrs.). The process involves you putting the stuff in your hair and then flat ironing each section, so it's a fairly long process if you have long hair. Just a thought though just in case you didn't know about this.
Fine/3a-c hair, CG since 2006
C/O wash
: Suave Waterlily Aloe, As I am Coconut Co-wash
: Kinky Curly Custard Cream, Kinky Curly Knot Today Detangler,Herbal Essence Set me Free Gel, Lily of the Desert 99% Aloe Vera Gelly
: Neutral protein filler
Coconut Oil, Argan Oil
Special Considerations
: I frequently color because I have almost 50% grey, I use a semi-permanent to reduce damage

– via Strange New Products [1]
When it comes to water, we really need more options. It's not enough that we have potable, low-cost drinking water at our convenient disposal. We still can't seem to appreciate it, let alone drink it. That's why there's PUR Flavor Options [2]. With the press of a button, delicious, sugar-free raspberry, peach or strawberry water is yours! Why, how delightful! A flavor cartridge is only 10 dollars [3] and fits conveniently into your existing PUR filtration system. You can enjoy as many as 75 glasses of flavored water. Buy all three for only 30 dollars and enjoy hundreds of glasses of flavored water all month long! Just think how much more water your family will drink now that it's not boring anymore. Think of the monotonous, life-sucking agony you will avert when you no longer have to drink virtually free, pure, clean water.
You know what else only costs 30 dollars?
Saving the life of an actual child.
One-fifth of the world's population does not have access to drinkable water.
4,500 children die every day from lack of drinkable water. And over 2 million people die every year because of poor quality water or dehydration. Every seven minutes, a child dies from dehydration.
Here are some water facts [4]. Here are some more [5]. It breaks my heart that we have such a bloated sense of ennui we actually think we deserve things like PUR flavored water. Sure, it's not "our fault" that pain and suffering exist. And we all need enjoyment and variety. I guess.
But we don't need bottled water in this country. We don't really even need filtered water, let alone flavored filtered water. And we don't need to spend 2 bucks a pop on Ethos Water to help dying children – we need to drink from the tap and send that 2 bucks to Africa. I'm sure the Ethos people are nice and I bet they really enjoy their private jets and yachts, which is wonderful, but we can all do a lot better. We could use a little horrifying.
Just a thought. Donate here [6]. Or here [7].

SedimentationSedimentation is the process of allowing suspended solids in water to settle out through the effect of gravitational force. This process usually follows coagulation and flocculation to let colloidal particles (very fine solids) in raw water form larger particles or flocs first. Sedimentation, also called settling or clarification, precedes the filtration process.
In a purification system, water carried over from the flocculation basin enters the sedimentation tank or settling basin, where the flow of water is very slow. The water velocity is significantly decreased at this point so that it can no longer support the transport of suspended particles, thus leaving gravity to act on them. When this happens, the flocs settle at the bottom of the tank.
The sediments or solids that settle out during sedimentation are collectively referred to as sludge. Some settling tanks are fitted with equipment that facilitates the automatic and continuous removal of sludge. Otherwise, tank operators would have to manually remove this.
Factors Affecting Sedimentation
● Particle Characteristics
The type of solid particles present in the water is one of the major factors that affect how a sedimentation tank is operated. Bigger and heavier solids such as sand, silt, and grit are removed with little effort. A water-flow velocity of less than one foot per second should be adequate to remove these particles from the water.
In cases where coarse suspended matter such as those mentioned above make up majority of the particles present in the source water, sedimentation can be done as part of the pretreatment process. This process is called presedimentation, and is done to reduce the load on the coagulation/flocculation basin.
However, when there is high turbidity and electrically-charged colloidal particles abound, chemical coagulants need to be added first and the particles allowed to flocculate, before sedimentation can take place.
Aside from size and density, the shape of the particle also has an effect on the clarification process. Circular and flat solids will settle more easily than those with ragged edges.
● Currents
Within the settling tank, there may be various types of currents present which can have an impact on sedimentation, and the two most common ones are density and eddy currents.
Density currents are brought about by the different elements that have come together in the tank: the concentration of the solid particles, the individual and collective weight of these particles, and the water temperature. Eddy currents on the other hand, are caused by the flow of the water entering and exiting the tank.
One or both of these current types can have a positive effect on the process as they can aid in bringing the particles together and promote the formation of flocs. But then again, currents may also cause solid matter to spread out rather haphazardly in the water. When this happens, the flocs also settle at an uneven rate.
● Basin Retention Time
As a general rule, water must remain in the sedimentation basin long enough for the particles to settle, and then be removed. Smaller particles settle more slowly than bigger ones and therefore, the waters carrying these require longer retention times and larger tanks. On the average, water stays in the settling tank for at least four hours.
● Basin Depth
The size and depth of the sedimentation tank or basin is also key to the efficiency of the operation. Large particles are known to sweep along and combine with smaller ones as they settle and because of this, a deep basin will promote settling better than a shallow basin will. The further the flocs need to travel down, the more smaller particles they can integrate with along the way.
● Water Temperature
The temperature of the water in the tank is another factor to contend with in sedimentation. With a higher temperature normally comes a higher rate of settling, and consequently, particle settling slows down as temperature goes down.
A decreased rate of settling can have an effect in the other steps of the process. For instance, the retention time in the sedimentation tank will need to be longer when settling decelerates. In addition, when settling slows down, addition of coagulants may be needed to achieve about the same amount of sludge despite the decreased settling rate.
The Sedimentation Basin
● Basin Shapes
There are various types of sedimentation basins that can be used for this water purification process. The settling basin should ideally be located close to the flocculation basin to prevent the breakup of floc as the water flows from the first basin to the next.
Sedimentation basins may be:
● Rectangular. The simplest and most common design used today, a rectangular basin allows water to flow through horizontally from one end of the tank to the other. While rectangle-shaped tanks require a sizeable land area, these basins are popular because they are ideal for large-scale water treatment plants. This type is also the most cost-effective to construct and maintain, and the least likely to short circuit.
As a side note, short-circuiting in sedimentation is a tricky situation wherein the water does not follow the normal flow in the tank and proceeds to the outlet, thereby spending less time in the basin than what is normally required.
● Double-deck Rectangular. As described by its name, a double-deck rectangular settling basin is essentially made up of two rectangular tanks placed atop each other. Water from the flocculation tank enters the bottom basin and then slowly flows through and goes up to the basin on top where the exit is located. One advantage of the double-deck basin is that it conserves space while still providing ample area for particle settling to take place. However, it is also more expensive to maintain than a rectangular basin.
● Square or circular. Better known as clarifiers, square and circular sedimentation basins have inlets located at the center where the water flows in, and outlets at the edges where the treated water exits. Clarifiers are known to be prone to short-circuiting and sludge removal problems.
● Basin Zones
The sedimentation basin is divided into four basic zones: inlet zone, settling zone, sludge zone, and outlet zone.
● Inlet Zone. The water enters the inlet zone of the sedimentation basin from the flocculation tank. From this point on, the water should be evenly distributed throughout the basin and its speed of flow controlled. Water velocity should be no more than 0.5 feet per second otherwise, the flocs could disintegrate back into smaller particles. Even distribution and speed control is usually done with the aid of baffles that gradually spreads the water across the area. Baffles also help prevent short circuiting.
● Settling Zone. Easily having the largest area of the sedimentation basin, the settling zone is where the solid particles actually descend to the bottom and settle out. The velocity of water here is significantly decreased to allow gravity to exert the needed pressure on the suspended flocs. Some settling zones simply consist of a wide expanse of area while others are equipped with tube settlers and lamella plates to facilitate optimal efficiency in the settling process.
● Sludge Zone. The bottom portion of the basin is designated as the sludge zone. This area serves as a holding space for the sediments or sludge that have settled out from the water until such time that these are taken away for proper disposal. As in the settling zone, the velocity of flow in the sludge area should be at a minimum to prevent the settled particles from being swept up and re-dispersed into the water.
The amount of sludge typically generated may be about 3 to 5 percent of the total volume of water. The regular removal of sludge from the basin is crucial to the efficient operation of the basin, and this is why most basins have a drain at the bottom for easy sludge removal.
● Outlet Zone. When most particles have already settled at the bottom, the now-treated water proceeds to the outlet zone. The outlet serves as the control point for the depth of water that the basin contains and ensures that only clarified water exits the basin and enters the filtration area. Since the clearest water is usually that on the uppermost part of the basin, outlets are designed to evenly skim off this water.
To achieve the ideal depth of water and prevent solids from flowing out before they can settle, weirs, which are like walls that have notches or slits along its length, are installed at the end of the tank.
While most large-scale water purification plants include a sedimentation basin, the process may not be necessary when treating water with relatively low turbidity. In such cases, filtration follows the coagulation and flocculation processes.

Conservative media figures divided over reaction to Chicago's failed Olympics bid
Research ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
Some conservative media figures are spoiling the celebration for others who have taken joy in the International Olympic Committee's decision to award the 2016 Olympic Games to Rio de Janeiro rather than Chicago, whose bid for the games was supported by President Obama. While Glenn Beck crowed that the IOC's decision was "so sweet," and Rush Limbaugh stated, "I don't deny it. I'm happy," Joe Scarborough argued that "middle Americans that swing elections" will see conservatives celebrating Chicago's defeat and say, "My God, the Republicans have gone off the deep end."
Media conservatives criticize opposition to Olympic bid or express support for Obama's attempt
Scarborough: GOP opposition to Olympic bid "narrow-minded," "just plain stupid." Scarborough stated on the October 5 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, "What would have happened if liberals had cheered against the United States getting the Olympics?" Responding to a clip of Limbaugh celebrating that "the world has rejected Obama," Scarborough added, "I would like Rush Limbaugh to tell me ... who's he helping there other than Rush Limbaugh? Because I will tell you, middle Americans -- Rush is smarter than that -- middle Americans that swing elections see that, they go, 'My God, the Republicans have gone off the deep end.' " Scarborough also wrote, "The fact President Obama failed makes me respect him more for taking the chance, and the fact many right-wing figures opposed the President's mission shows just how narrow-minded partisanship makes us all." He further wrote that "what we saw from some conservative corners regarding the President's failed Olympics bid was just plain stupid." [The Huffington Post, 10/2/09]
O'Reilly: Conservative celebration of Chicago's loss is "kind of strange." Responding to the cheering reaction of Americans for Prosperity conference attendees to the news that Chicago had been eliminated, O'Reilly stated, "Kind of strange. I believe the Olympic Games in the U.S.A. would bring some prosperity. Guess I could be wrong." [Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, 10/5/09]
Brooks: "I'm with Obama on this." New York Times columnist David Brooks stated on Meet the Press: "I have to say I'm with Obama on this. He took a risk. He comes away somewhat humiliated, but he took a risk for his town, he took a risk for his country. He put the country ahead of his own personal prestige. He lost one. I actually don't mind it. I think, I think he was all, all right on this." [NBC's Meet the Press, 10/4/09]
Little Green Footballs: "[T]hey want Obama himself to fail, and if that means America fails too, they're just fine with that." The blog Little Green Footballs responded to conservatives celebrating Chicago's defeat by stating that "they're openly celebrating when America loses, just because Barack Obama is President. And even though this Olympic bid was also promoted by George W. Bush.This completely puts the lie to the excuse that those who say they want Obama to fail really mean they want his policies to fail. No, they want Obama himself to fail, and if that means America fails too, they're just fine with that." [Little Green Footballs, 10/2/09]
Conservative media celebrate Chicago's elimination, bash Obama
Beck: "Oh, it's so sweet" that Chicago's bid failed; "savor this moment." On his radio program, Beck said: "Do not go anywhere. Don't -- do not look at the screen. Don't -- don't go to any other radio stations. Nothing. You don't want to hear this news -- I mean, please, please let me break this news to you. Oh, it's so sweet." After a commercial break, Beck's producer stated that "the first round of voting is up for the Olympic Games, and the first city" -- at which point Beck interrupted, saying, "Wait! Wait for it! Wait for it. Enjoy this -- savor this moment." The producer continued, "And the first city to be eliminated is Chicago." Beck later asked his producer if Chicago's elimination was proof that Obama had "failed." [Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Show, 10/2/09]
Dobbs: As Matt Drudge put it, "the ego has landed." On his radio show, Lou Dobbs stated, "Lots of folks are going to be going to Rio because they won the 2016 Olympics and Chicago -- Chicago, well, they were smeared, they were wiped out, and the Obamas slammed. And as Matt Drudge over at the Drudge Report put it, oh man, the ego has landed." [United Stations Radio Networks' The Lou Dobbs Show, 10/2/09]
Breitbart website: "It is kind of like the world community saying to President Obama, 'Not only no, but Hell No.' " From a post by Publius -- the pseudonym of the "Editorial Panel" of the Andrew Breitbart-published website BigGovernment.com -- headlined, "Chicago Drops From 'Second City' to Fourth City":
So, not only did Chicago lose out in its bid for the Olympics, it lost in the FIRST ROUND. It is kind of like the world community saying to President Obama, "Not only no, but Hell No."
Limbaugh: For those "upset that I sound gleeful -- I am. I don't deny it. I'm happy." On his radio program, Limbaugh stated: "Folks, the ego has landed. The world has rejected Obama. Chicago, the least number of votes, first elimination in the round of voting for the Olympics in 2016. ... When you stop to think about it, folks, doesn't it make sense? Our president, Barack Hussein Obama -- mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama mmm, mmm, mmm -- had been running around the world for nine months telling everybody how much our country sucks. He's been running around the world apologizing for the United States of America. Why would anybody award the Olympics to such a crappy place as the United States of America?" Later in the program, after reading a series of headlines about Chicago's elimination, Limbaugh explained why he was "gleeful" and "happy" about the failure of its Olympic bid:
LIMBAUGH: For those of you on the other side of the aisle listening in who are upset that I sound gleeful -- I am. I don't deny it. I'm happy. Anything that gets in the way of Barack Obama accomplishing his domestic agenda is fine with me. I stand by -- I don't want Obamacare to succeed. I want national health care, socialized medicine, to fail. I want cap and trade -- a national carbon tax emissions policy based on a hoax -- I want that to fail. I do not want the government owning car companies. I don't want the government running banks. I don't want the government in charge of loans. I don't want any of it. I want all of that to fail.
And for those things to fail, I'm sorry to say, our president must fail, because they're his ideas. It is the ideas I want to fail, but the architect of those ideals must, by the same sense of logic, also fail at the same time the ideas do. So anything that weakens and helps people to see the real Obama is a step forward. Gotta say it. [Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show, 10/2/09]
Drudge: "The ego has landed. World rejects Obama: Chicago out in first round." From the Drudge Report:
Kristol: "[Y]ou couldn't help but be amused by it." Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol stated on Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, "Can you imagine if some Republican -- if Bush had done this and we hadn't gotten it? Typical Bush heavy-handedness, cowboy unilateralist, hegemonic imperialist action. Obama falls into that trap and they went for it. I must say you couldn't help but be amused by it."
RedState.com's Erickson: "World rejects Barack Obama. ... Hahahahaha." From RedState.com managing editor Erick Erickson's post, headlined, "BREAKING: World Rejects Barack Obama. No Chicago Olympics; Hey Rush, apparently the rest of the world wants Obama to fail too":
I thought the world would love us more now that Bush was gone.
I thought if we whored ourselves out to our enemies, great things would happen.
Apparently not.
So Obama's pimped us to every two bit thug and dictator in the world, made promises to half the Olympic committee, and they did not even kiss him.
Weekly Standard blog post reportedly said "[c]heers erupt[ed] at" magazine in response to Chicago losing bid. Think Progress' Matt Corley reported that a post by Weekly Standard blogger John McCormack originally stated that when the news came that Chicago's bid had been eliminated, "[c]heers erupt[ed] at WEEKLY STANDARD world headquarters." From Corley's blog post:
Soon after news broke that the International Olympic Committee had rejected Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Olympics, which President Obama had personally lobbied for, Weekly Standard blogger John McCormack published a celebratory post on the magazine's blog, titled "Chicago Loses! Chicago Loses!." McCormack wrote that "Cheers erupt at WEEKLY STANDARD world headquarters":
But the post has now been changed. The reference to cheers have been removed and the title has been shortened to a non-exclamatory "Chicago Loses." The current post neither acknowledges nor explains the changes that were made.

Blogger Allahpundit stated on HotAir.com: "It's only right that I eat crap here for having insisted that this was a done deal and that The One wouldn't dare risk his political capital on a completely needless humiliation. You're a bigger sucker than I thought, champ."
Malkin: "This is a big win and a massive relief for taxpayers." Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin wrote: "Goodbye, 'Yes We Can.' Hello, 'No, You Can't.' Like Icarus, President Obama's giddy ego flight has ended with melted wax and fallen wings. This is a big win and a massive relief for taxpayers. But Chicago cronies are not going to take this well. Gird your loins."
Conservative media previously attacked Chicago's Olympic bid and Obama's efforts to promote it
Fox News attack machine smears Chicago as a violent city unsuitable for Olympics. Prior to the IOC's decision, conservative media -- led by Fox News -- attacked Obama's support of Chicago's Olympic bid: smearing the city as unfit to host the Olympics, often by citing individual instances of violence. For example, Sean Hannity, after citing a recent murder and an assault, asked whether Chicago is "a city where we want the Olympics," and Beck said, "Chicago is good at ... organized Mafi -- oops, did I say that out loud?"
Beck led conservative media in raising specter of Chicago cronyism to attack Obama's bid for Olympics. Conservative media suggested or claimed that Obama was advocating for Chicago to host the Olympics in order to return political favors to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley or forward the financial interests of other "Chicago pals." For instance, Beck advanced baseless speculation that Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett "may personally benefit" from the Olympics, and Malkin wrote that Daley "cronies" in Obama's circle are "returning the favor for their hometown boss" by pushing for the Chicago Olympics.
Fox News used Olympic bid to attack Obama. Fox News hosts, contributors, and guests used Obama's promotion of Chicago's Olympic bid as an excuse to attack him. Attacks on Obama's efforts include Hannity saying that "it sounds" like Obama "is more concerned about bringing the Olympics to Chicago than winning the war in Afghanistan"; Brent Bozell claiming Obama's trip to Copenhagen to promote the Chicago bid "is evidence that this man just cannot stay away from the klieg lights"; and Bret Baier invoking the "carbon footprint" of Obama's trip to Copenhagen to smear the president.

Joyce DiDonato, 'Drama Queens'
Published 1:12 pm, Thursday, December 6, 2012
Joyce DiDonato Classical
Joyce DiDonato's magnificent new recital disc is dedicated to the proposition that a Baroque aria is there to give expression to the most fervent and dramatically extreme emotions - and that musical technique serves to give voice to that state of mind. In a series of excerpts by Handel, Monteverdi, Hasse and more, the great American mezzo-soprano puts on one display after another of vocal wizardry, from cascades of rapid-fire, pinpoint coloratura to sustained and immaculately shaped lyrical phrases. The effect is always impressive and beautiful, as any vocal display should be. Yet what raises these performances to a whole different level of splendor is the expressive transparency that DiDonato lavishes on them - listening to these regal women in extremis, you hear exactly how and why they're suffering, and just what it means to them. The repertoire list is fascinating, too, including superb arias by such unfamiliar names as Giuseppe Maria Orlandini and Geminiano Giacomelli (one suspects the influence here of the scholarly and sure-handed conductor, Alan Curtis); one aria in particular, from Reinhard Keiser's "Galsuinde," is gorgeous enough to make you want to hear the entire opera.

Thomas Jane and Patricia Arquette Call It Quits
Having a difficult time deciding whether they're a proper match, Thomas Jane and Patricia Arquette have once again called it quits.
Separating for the second time in as many years, the "Medium" actress first filed for divorced from her "Hung" hubby in January 2009, citing "irreconcilable differences," but the pair reunited just weeks later and hosted a party at their Los Angeles home together.
Reports tell that Miss Arquette asked for her petition to be dismissed in July 2009 after the couple decided to work at their marriage, but the efforts have been of no avail - as they have split again.
representative for the pair says, "The split is completely amicable and their prime focus is their daughter. They ask that their privacy be respected at this time."
Thomas and Patricia were married back in 2006 and share a seven-year-old daughter named Harlow Olivia Calliope.

That is a very serious link indeed.
I'm thinking of copying the tutorial pages out of some of the zines. If I do this I will probably figure out a way to share the fruits of my labors with others.
Is Picaloader still a good program for automating the copying of images from sites? Do people know of other such task-automating software that is functional and free?
Posted 12 March 2008 - 10:02 AM
1. you'll need flashget (which i believe it's a freeware now)
2. go http://163.zpoo.com/
3. paste in username of the album(in this case "kunluinlmodel")
4. this will give you a series of links to each of the different albums, and if you click on these it will give you all the addresses of the photos
5. select all these links and right click to find the flashget menu (should appear after you install it, either on i.e. or ff)
6. select the option "flashget all" (or something along that line)
7. make sure to set the number of connection to 1 (default being 5) otherwise it would not download
8. easy way to set the number of connection to 1 is choose "manual download" instead of "automatic", then select all the links added to flashget, right click and go to properties to change number of connection to 1, and just start
it should work but just remember the order of the pictures will be scrambled, so if you want to read them in order, just use ACDSee or any other photo viewing programs and arrange the photo using "last modified date" and just rename them, hope this helps
btw there are a few other albums athat i stumbled upon if you guys are interested
not sure if i can share them here...so i'll remove them if necessary

Right, but they're talking about ways to get all the images, not just one. You can of course go through all those images, download them one by one manually, but you could also use a program that can do the job automatically.
If you want something done right...

(although one by one is easy if you don't need everything, the thumbnails are helpfull to see what's on a page)

what you say may be true..
but sometimes these sites can take a long time to load a single image
which is why i just d/l everything and delete anything i don't want
i lack the patience for the long load times lol

Haha, I'd download them myself but my bandwidth is moderately destroyed at the moment so I can do it eventually but I'd have to wait a week or so, so I'd really appreciate it if one of you guys who are downloading it could help us out.

I took my Focus Titanium in to the shop on March 30th 2012 for a front end noise over bumps at slow speeds under 20mph (this was the second time it had been in for the same noise) and I just got a call today saying that it is completed.
I will translate this to everyone: by completed they mean they give up. The service manager said that they have replaced every part in the front end (struts, springs, etc.) and they cannot at this time get the sound to go away. Ford engineers have advised them to verify that this noise is consistent with other Focus models with similar mileage and they affirmed.
Basically this means that I'm going to have to deal with this sound? That's just bogus and I have to admit, awful of Ford Motor Company. I have been in a rental for 20 days and they're saying that when my car leaves the shop it will still have the same issues as when I initially took it in? I hate this car more and more everyday and I don't know about everyone else that is having this issue but I sure as heck can't "live with it."
After dealing with the CSM for FMC, I have to say that I am shocked and appalled at how the "new Ford" handles their business and treats their customers. I feel completely used and violated as a customer and I will be taking all future business to another manufacturer.

Paul McCartney is rescheduling U.S. tour dates as he continues to recover from a virus he received treatment for last month.
The former Beatles singer announced Monday tour stops scheduled for mid-June will be postponed to October. He was supposed to kick off the U.S. leg of his tour Saturday. Instead his first show will be July 5 in Albany, New York. He's set to play Aug. 7 at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City.
McCartney says he's taking his doctor's advice and will take more time to rest. Last month he cancelled his "Out There Japan Tour 2014" because of his illness.

Storm Slabs
What Elevation Zone?Which Slopes?Chance of Avalanches?Expected Size?
New snow and wind will likely overload the upper snowpack on a variety of aspects but particularly those on lee aspects in exposed areas. Keep it conservative Friday as the snowpack adjusts to this new load.
Travel and Terrain Advice
Avoid all avalanche terrain during periods of heavy loading from new snow, wind, or rain.
With several weaknesses in the upper meter of the snowpack, the snowpack will require a few days to settle.
Good day to make conservative terrain choices.
Persistent Slabs
What Elevation Zone?Which Slopes?Chance of Avalanches?Expected Size?
The presence of buried weak layers increases the likelihood of larger avalanches that could release to a depth of a metre or even more. The distribution and reactivity of persistent weak layers is highly complex at the present time.
Travel and Terrain Advice
Avoid all avalanche terrain during periods of heavy loading from new snow, wind, or rain.
Avoid convexities or areas with a thin or variable snowpack.
Avoid areas with overhead hazard.

What outfit are you going with? Those cat guides usually know their terrain really, really damn well and oftentimes even do some snowpack management in their zones. They know what they're doing. If you feel that uncomfortable, just straight up tell them that you want to stay out of avy terrain completely. They'll have some safe zones to ride that won't slide.
Thanks man. It was a big step for me to go in the first place and the thoughts of such horrible conditions bulls me out. I don't even care about the 400 bucks I spent. I guess I will head up and assess once I am there.
With that avy forecast, don't expect to be riding anything too exciting. But, like I said, they know their terrain and I bet you'll still have a shit ton of fun.
One of the first things they told us at the intro to avy class was that conditions near perfection at an equal and relevant rate to avy danger. That is why there are books like "Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain" by Bruce Tremper, your new Bible.
Cat ski operations have surprisingly little to gain by getting you or themselves killed.
If you show up and the cat looks like something from a comedy movie and all the guides are drunk, maybe don't go.
Don't all cat/heli ski places @ least have the option of airbags?
You would think? I would.
I would go, in a heartbeat:thumbsup:

High rating is scary. Out in those conditions in avalanche terrain and you will see recent slides are may even witness some. Which from a safe distance is really cool. It also means there is a lot of new snow.
Snowklinger is right. The operator has little to gain by getting clients buried and a lot to lose. They know the terrain very well and should take you to some fun stuff. Listen to your guides and ride the lines you are directed too or talk about. Don't fucking punt and change it up last second on your ride because a line would be more fun. I would wager that a good majority of the accidents with a guided outfit are started this way. Don't deviate. Be disciplined. You'll have fun.
Have to ask would you be questioning this if the rating was considerable? How about moderate? Most accidents actually happen in those ratings. Not high.
Listen to your guides, do the drills for that worst case scenario, and have a good time. You should be bringing nothing back but epic smiles. :D

And btw, good for you for reading the avy report. You should do that everyday. Even though you feel like you don't know much. You'll be surprised about how much you learn by reading it. That alone can help make you an asset out there.

He has a new book out called Avalanche Essentials: A Step by Step System for Safety and Survival.
I think I am going to go pick it up today actually. I've read staying alive in Avalanche terrain maybe a dozen times now. It is a great way to refresh your memory of what you need to pay attention to in the field. I suspect this new book is just as awesome, maybe even more so.
