text: John, Our baggage carts solved this problem. We got them 10 years ago and have never had one stolen. We did have one come up missing, but two weeks later a man was seen unloading the missing cart and his bags from the back of his truck and wheeling all into the terminal. I guess he took the sign on the cart literally "Please return cart to terminal when done". Have you got your parking back?

By Barbara Hulit
At a meeting of my peers, I often wonder why there are so few female business leaders, especially in the STEM — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — industries so vital to our state's economic prosperity and national security.
The stats are grim: Women hold less than 25 percent of STEM jobs, a number that has been stagnant throughout the past decade, even as college-educated women have grown their share in the overall workforce.
While there is definitely a gender issue at play, STEM is saddled with a bigger PR problem as evidenced by the fact that 61 percent of middle school students would rather take out the garbage than do their math homework.
As a daughter of a public school teacher, I'm a passionate education advocate. I believe that providing a quality education is the single most important thing we can do to support the next generation. But I also know that the building blocks of education need to look different today than when my mom started teaching back in the 1950s.
Today, a solid foundation in science, technology, engineering, and math is no longer the purview of rocket scientists. In the next decade alone, almost all of the fastest-growing jobs will require STEM skills.
At Fluke Corporation, where I was fortunate to serve as president for seven years, being STEM literate is a prerequisite for success no matter the position — from our design team and manufacturers to our sales force. This isn't unique to STEM businesses like ours. STEM skills are a key currency in the modern workplace and everyday life; they should be at the heart of how we define basic education in the 21st century.
This is especially critical in Washington state, which is a national STEM leader. From the Olympic Peninsula to Puget Sound to Spokane Valley, Washington is a STEM-fueled economy. Our state's strong rebound from the recession was in large part due to our strength in science, new technologies, and engineering — from titans like Microsoft, Boeing, and Amazon to startups like Big Fish, Zulily, and DreamBox Learning.
Washington can only maintain its number-one state ranking in the concentration of STEM jobs if we ensure a high-quality and homegrown work force. Unfortunately, this is not currently the case. Our state has the second-fastest growing gap between the STEM jobs our economy is generating and the skills our students are learning. You don't have to be a math major to know this isn't sustainable.
Despite these depressing statistics, now, for the first time, I'm hopeful that we Washingtonians are going to lead the charge in giving our students the robust STEM education they need and that our economy requires.
The movement afoot is coming from many directions. Washington STEM, a STEM education nonprofit, is leading the charge by seeding STEM Networks in regions across the state with the goal to support student success in STEM in alignment with local economic development. The timing couldn't be better. This growing statewide system will accelerate the spread of best practices supporting teachers as they implement the new Common Core standards in mathematics that are rolling out this school year.
Momentum is also being spurred by leadership from Gov. Jay Inslee and strong bipartisan support that rallied around and recently signed into law Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1872. This bold, comprehensive law will bring about greater coordination, innovation, and accountability of STEM education efforts statewide. Specifically, it aligns state agencies and resources around a comprehensive PK-20 STEM education strategy and evidence-based framework for accountability. It also sets up a pathway for the state to invest alongside Washington STEM to ensure we are preparing all Washington students for success in today's STEM-rich world.
ESSHB 1872 is a big win for our students and our state. Its passage also demonstrates that STEM is a bipartisan issue in Washington.
Let's continue to work together, across party lines, and build upon this momentum to make Washington not just a STEM industry leader, but the STEM education leader that our students need and deserve.
Barbara Hulit is the former president of the Fluke Corporation, based in Everett, and current senior vice president of Danaher Corporation, the parent company of Fluke Corporation. She serves on the boards of Washington STEM, the Pacific Science Center, Washington Roundtable, and Partnership for Learning.

Your Weekly Update In The World Of Technology
Deleted Photos Not So… Deleted.
You know those Facebook photos you deleted 3 years ago? Well it seems like they not be as deleted as you think they are. It seems as if the photos themselves are removed from the site but can still be accessed if you have the photo's static URL. It's still there. We all have reasons to delete photos, whether it be an unflattering photo, family drama, or that person you dated that you'd rather just forget about. The problem is that these so-called "forgotten" memories are very much alive, sitting on Facebook's servers.
This problem was first discovered by the website Ars Technica 3 years ago and they've found the problem still persists today. After being contact, Facebook claimed that they were working with their CDN (content delivery network) to better manage deleted photos. Facebook spokesman Frederic Wolens has claimed their CDN will have photos delete within 45 days. Until then, just remember that whatever pictures you post to Facebook will probably be there for awhile after being deleted.
Better Watch Your Back, Netflix
It looks like movie streaming service Netflix is in someone's crosshairs. DVD rental company Redbox and Verizon announced on Monday that they're joining forces to create a streaming movie service, which will put them in direct competition with Netflix. Not many details have been released yet but the goal is to have the new service up and running in the second half of this year.
Currently the plan is to offer a subscription, similar to Netflix, and have movies available for tablets, TVs, and smartphones. The plan also includes making the service available to everyone and not just Verizon customers. The joint venture is taking aim at criticisms often pointed at Netflix, which includes claims that the movie streaming giant does not offer enough newer content. Further details were not released, but we will be sure to hear more about Verizon and Redbox working together as we move further into the year.
There's A Job For That
It's no secret that job creation is in the front of millions of people's minds lately. While we may be seeing slowing growth, and losses, in various industries, there is one that offering a glimmer of hope for the future. TechNet, which is a bipartisan network of tech execs, have released a study that shows close to 466,000 jobs have been created since 2007 in the "App Economy". 2007 was the year the iPhone was first released, and since then apps have taken off at an unprecedented pace. California is the leader, being the most app-friendly state, however app-related jobs are not confined solely on the coast. Obviously, with the idea of apps being so young, these numbers can change drastically in a short time, but it looks like the App Economy is the wave of the (immediate) future.

Constituent Update - September 20, 2013
FSIS Provides Severe Weather Food Safety Tips
FSIS is issuing food safety recommendations for those affected by the ongoing severe weather in Colorado, especially those who have lost electricity as a result of the flood. Power outages and flooding that often result from weather emergencies compromise the safety of stored food, but there are steps that can minimize food waste and the risk of foodborne illness.
The publication "A Consumer's Guide to Food Safety: Severe Storms and Hurricanes" can be downloaded at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/shared/PDF/Severe_Storms_and_Hurricanes_Guide.pdf. Print for reference during a power outage. FSIS' YouTube video "Food Safety During Power Outages" also has instructions for keeping frozen and refrigerated food safe. To view it, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vGAZ64T0uE&feature=plcp.
FSIS will provide relevant food safety information as the storm progresses from its Twitter feed @USDAFoodSafety (https://twitter.com/usdafoodsafety). To get tweets about weather-related food safety issues and food recalls affecting Colorado, follow @CO_FSISAlert (https://twitter.com/co_fsisalert).
Steps to follow if the power goes out:
- Store food on shelves that will be safely out of the way of contaminated water in case of flooding.
- Group food together in the freezer — this helps the food stay cold longer.
- Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible.
- A refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours if you keep the door closed.
- A full freezer will keep its temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if half-full).
- If the power is out for an extended period of time, buy dry or block ice to keep the refrigerator as cold as possible. Fifty pounds of dry ice should keep a fully-stocked 18-cubic-feet freezer cold for two days.
Steps to follow after a weather emergency:
- Check the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. If the thermometer reads 40 °F or below, the food is safe.
- If no thermometer was used in the freezer, check each package. If food still contains ice crystals or is at 40 °F or below when checked with a food thermometer, it may be safely refrozen.
- Discard any perishable food (such as meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers and deli items) that have been kept in a refrigerator or freezer above 40 °F for two hours or more.
- Discard any food that is not in a waterproof container if there is any chance that it has come into contact with flood water. Containers that are not waterproof include those with screw-caps, snap lids, pull tops, and crimped caps. Discard wooden cutting boards, plastic utensils, baby bottle nipples and pacifiers.
- Thoroughly wash all metal pans, ceramic dishes and utensils that came in contact with flood water with hot soapy water and sanitize by boiling them in clean water or by immersing them for 15 minutes in a solution of 1 tablespoon of unscented, liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of drinking water.
- Undamaged, commercially prepared foods in all-metal cans and retort pouches (for example, flexible, shelf-stable juice or seafood pouches) can be saved. Follow the Steps to Salvage All-Metal Cans and Retort Pouches in the publication "Keeping Food Safe During an Emergency."
- Use bottled water that has not been exposed to flood waters. If bottled water is not available, tap water can be boiled for safety.
- Never taste food to determine its safety!
- When in doubt, throw it out!
Videos detailing food safety information are available in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language on FSIS' YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/USDAFoodSafety. An FSIS Public Service Announcement (PSA) illustrating practical food safety recommendations for handling and consuming foods stored in refrigerators and freezers during and after a power outage is available in 30- and 60-second versions at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answers/videos-psas/food-safety-public-service-announcements. News organizations and power companies can obtain hard copy (Beta and DVD) versions of the PSA by contacting FSIS' Food Safety Education Staff at (301) 344-4757.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at www.AskKaren.gov or m.AskKaren.gov on a smartphone. Mobile Ask Karen can also be downloaded from the Apple and Android app stores. Consumers can e-mail, chat with a live representative, or call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline directly from the app. To use these features from Mobile Ask Karen, simply choose "Contact Us" from the menu. The live chat option and the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline, 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854), are available in English and Spanish on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.
FSIS Posts 2013 Residue Sampling Plans
FSIS is announcing the posting of the publication, United States National Residue Program for Meat, Poultry and Egg Products – 2013 Residue Sampling Plans (Blue Book). This is the latest version of the "Blue Book" which outlines the residue sampling plans for Fiscal Year 2013. Find it at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/data-collection-and-reports/chemistry/blue-books/ct_index.
The publication describes a three-tier sampling system, initiated in 2012 and continued through 2013, identifies production classes and compounds FSIS is analyzing, provides access to current methodology, and explains that residue program is now run on a fiscal year basis as opposed to a calendar year. Posting the Blue Book is done to provide transparency on U.S. residue sampling of meat, poultry and egg products.
Export Requirement
The Library of Export Requirements has been updated to reflect changes in export requirements for the following areas:

Infertility Signs
Hello everyone! I've been married for two years but unfortunately I'm still childless. Due to this situation, I am now starting to think that I am infertile. My question is, Is there physical signs that a woman is infertile?

The average woman has a 20% chance of falling pregnant each month. The average couple take 6 months TTC.
Are you tracking your fertility? You can do this with basal body temperature or tracking your cervical mucous. You may have a different cycle length than other women or ovulate at a different time than you expect.
There are also a range of natural supplements you can take to increase fertility (such as maca root, bromelin etc) and ones your doctor can prescribe (such as clomid.)

Human Development & Family Studies
Human Development involves the study of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural aspects of development throughout the human lifespan.
Landscape Architecture + Environmental Design
Landscape Architecture increases the quality of life through the development and preservation of landscape design and planning processes that are meaningful, relevant and sustainable.
Community and Regional Development
Community Development focuses on communities and organizational development, the role of culture and ethnicity in shaping communities, and the ways that knowledge can be used to solve social problems and improve the quality of life.
Human Ecology, the newest Department within the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, unites around research and curricula focusing on the human ecology of people and place: the human experience that includes the individual, institutions, the community, schools, families, and relationships between people and their environment. This human environment is both social and ecological, and includes different social groups, institutions, built landscapes, ecologies, and physical settings. Our work ranges from studies of individual human health and behavior to analysis of community processes and design to considerations of bioregions and global processes. We explicitly focus on social and environmental problems, and solutions to those problems, with particular attention to issues of equity, health, and sustainability.
Human Ecology is administratively within the CAES Cheddar cluster.
About Us
Human Ecology integrates themes of people, place, and power.
"People" focuses attention on human development and individual relationships with others through family, institutions, and community.
"Place" weaves together social processes and geographical space.
"Power," defined as the capacity to shape processes and outcomes related to people and place, is an important focus for understanding contemporary issues such as health, equality, and sustainability, and how they might be addressed.

DETROIT -- Mike Glennon threw two touchdown passes to Tiquan Underwood, including the go-ahead 85-yard score, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers upset the turnover-prone Detroit Lions 24-21 on Sunday at Ford Field.
Glennon, the Buccaneers' rookie quarterback, had 247 yards passing and cornerback Leonard Johnson returned one of Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford's four interceptions for another score as the Bucs (3-8) won their third straight after starting the season 0-8. Bobby Rainey, the reigning NFC Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for 163 yards and scoring three touchdowns against Atlanta, was held to 35 yards on 18 carries.
Detroit committed five turnovers while falling to 6-5. Stafford threw three touchdown passes and wide receiver Nate Burleson, who missed the previous seven games with a broken forearm suffered during an auto accident, caught seven passes for 77 yards and a touchdown.
Tight end Brandon Pettigrew's 18-yard touchdown grab over the middle gave Detroit a 21-17 advantage with 9:36 remaining in the third quarter. The Lions drove deep into Tampa Bay territory on their next possession but Stafford threw his second interception when safety Keith Tandy stepped in front of wide receiver Calvin Johnson at the 1-yard line.
Tampa Bay regained the lead during the opening minute of the fourth quarter when Underwood beat the one-on-one coverage of cornerback Chris Houston and caught Glennon's bomb in stride.
The Bucs had a chance to extend their lead midway through the quarter after Danny Gorrer's punt block at the Detroit 11 but Rian Lindell missed a 35-yard field goal try.
Gorrer made another big play on Detroit's ensuing possession, forcing a Kris Durham fumble that safety Kelcie McCray recovered. Once again, Tampa Bay came up empty as Lindell misfired on a 50-yard field-goal attempt.
Johnthan Banks killed off the Lions' final drive when the ball popped out of Johnson's hands inside the 5-yard line on a Stafford pass and Banks grabbed it.
Leonard Johnson's 48-yard interception return gave Tampa Bay a 17-14 lead 50 seconds before halftime. Johnson, a backup cornerback, snagged a Stafford throw intended for Pettigrew, raced down the right sideline and somersaulted into the end zone.
Detroit had taken the lead with 4:33 remaining in the half on tight end Joseph Fauria's 10 yard catch. That score answered the Bucs' lone offensive touchdown of the half, a 7-yard pass from Glennon to Underwood.
Burleson scored the game's first touchdown on a 5-yard reception earlier in the quarter. He caught four passes on that drive.
NOTES: Johnson surpassed the 9,000-yard career receiving mark. ... CB Darrelle Revis missed the second half with a groin injury. ... The Bucs played without S Dashon Goldson, who was suspended one game by the NFL for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Atlanta WR Roddy White in last week's game. ... Buccaneers LB Mason Foster (concussion) and G Carl Nicks (foot) were also inactive. ... The Lions had won three of the last four meetings and held a 29-25 all-time series lead. ... Detroit plays at Ford Field for three of its next four games, beginning with the annual Thanksgiving Day game against Green Bay. Tampa Bay plays at Carolina on Sunday.

Icing color can be difficult to remove from fingers, towels, etc. Multiple scrubbings with soap and a fingernail brush will often to the trick. For stubborn stains (red is a particular culprit!) we sometimes use clear vanilla soaked into a paper towel; rub your stained fingers with the towel. It doesn't always remove all of the stain, but it does reduce the color greatly.

How was your Sunday/mothers day?
I got the love of my life a really nice digital camera. So I got to go to a shoot. (Bribary always works, hehehe ) One of the best shoots I have ever been to. Was an hour and ten minuets away. It was well worth the drive. They had some shots way out there, 60yd elk ( I fived it low). 50yd russian boar thru a very narrow shooting lane (10x). 38yd alligator (10), the body was half in one of there trout ponds and you had to shoot across the water. The third shot was a 45yd lion (8). 4th shot was a 52yd, coutering away standing bear (10)???? Good thing I had my Binos w/me. The club has a huge lake and Big gravel pit. Some of the shots in that open Gravel pit were rough. How about the standing turkey at 40yd, w/nothing around it but a big puddle? Judge that?
Sorry I know this is general section, and should be in tourney section but it was such a good shoot thought they deserved the recognition they deserve.
By the way if anyone from Whortlekill Rod and Gun club in Hopewell Junction NY is on here, how come you guys failed to adverties in the find shoots section this year, silly move, I think. Also how about updateing your web site so people know when you are haveing shoots.
One down side though, Dutchess county NY must be the tick capitol of the world!!!! I stopped counting after 10.I cut things up and split them down!
Had a pretty cool time with the wife and the kids (all grown thank god). Yesterday went to the T.H.E. Deermans Missouri State Championship and had a pretty good shoot. Was in 3rd of the bowhunters class when I left. Hope it holds thru the day.

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2011
"Coat dressing. And Jean Shrimpton—who was in one of our adverts, photographed by Patrick Lichfield, in the sixties," said Christopher Bailey. "Oh, and the weather." Thus, the Burberry message, which has complete clarity for fall: This is London's go-to coat company, and as sure as the checks on a Burberry plaid, this is where Bailey wants the world's womanhood to source its outerwear for fall. Had you been passing through Piccadilly Circus tonight, you'd have received that message at the same time as the audience who watched the show in the vast Burberry tent in Kensington: The show was live-streamed at the famous tourist attraction in the heart of London, on the neon display usually occupied by Coca-Cola. (And, for those outside London city limits, not to worry, Fall 2011 was also live-streamed on Burberry's website and in flagship stores in four continents at 40 live events, where select pieces from the collection were available to "buy from the runway.")
But to attend to those coats: Bailey's source material this season was a long way from from the basic trench. The silhouette he chose seemed more referenced in the haute couture of Cristóbal Balenciaga than British utility-wear (did a certain Queen Sofía Spanish Institute exhibition have anything to do with this?), but then, in the sixties, the master's influence on what all women wore—down to the blanket checks and bubble-backs—was pervasive. Bailey's take—short, and with curved, voluminous sleeves—came in many manifestations, retooled in orange or red melton, with stand collars and epaulets, or in shapes with deep peplums which ran the gamut of luxury, up to and including mink.
The link to British heritage was still visible in flashes, where Bailey cut the season's flares—tight in the thigh, belling to cover the shoe—in tweed (matched, at one point, with a gamekeeper jacket with a sexy scrolled peplum kicking out at the back), or in an elaborately woven cream cloque coat, with the surface pattern made to imitate Aran knit.
Still, what's more impressive than the fashion content itself is the sheer scale and ambition of Burberry as a brand, communicating direct from London in the vanguard of fast-moving technologies—the area of innovation that clearly excites Christopher Bailey just as much as sketching clothes.

The Boxer Rebellion was the by-product of Western trade, imperialism, and economic development in China during the final years of the 19th century. By August 1900, over 230 foreigners and thousands of Chinese Christians had been killed by Chinese terrorists, known as the "Boxers." Journalists captured the violence in drawings created for American newspapers.
The violence was located in northern China where European investors
had built railroads and developed mining operations. To protect the Chinese
empire from Western take-over, a secret society called the "Fists
of Righteous Harmony" aimed to exterminate all "foreign devils."
Thousands of Boxers targeted Christian missionaries in December 1899 and
escalated their rampage in the spring of 1900. By June, the Boxers
had been joined by elements of the Imperial
army and boldly attacked foreign compounds within the cities of Tientsin
and Peking.
Inside the walled compound in Tientsin was a young mining engineer
named Herbert Hoover, who had settled in China with his wife, Lou. For
the Hoovers, the siege was an occasionally harrowing but often adventurous
experience because it was of short duration. The foreign relief troops
reached Tientsin by the end of June and drove the Boxers off by mid-July.
Further inland, Peking was in greater peril. A force of 400 Marines
and 100 volunteers defended 900 people in a space intended for 60 individuals.
The siege lasted for 55 days with 66 casualties. When the Europeans finally
emerged from the Peking compound, they found its streets littered with
the bodies of Chinese Christians. No individuals were ever charged with
the murders, but the Imperial government would be forced to pay for the

The events of 1900 in China created an unusual opportunity
for artists. Even though photography was coming of age, most newspapers
and magazines still relied on drawings to depict and interpret contemporary
events. Editors attempted to forecast the outbreak of meaningful events
in far-off places, so that artist and reporters could be sent to these
places in advance of breaking news.
This forecasting was not always possible, however. The
Boxer Rebellion in China in June of 1900, for example, erupted so suddenly
that most publications were unable to get artists to China in time for
the fighting.
In other cases, military officers (such as Francis Gordon Poole) sketched, wrote, or even photographed what they were observing in the heat of battle, and found a ready market for their work in New York and London publications. Staff artists then developed these amateur sketches or eyewitness accounts into finished, publishable artwork. Additional artwork was prepared in studios in various western countries and in Japan by studio-based professional artists.

heads, and wear the rest of their hair in one long pigtail after the Manchus
conquered China in the 1640s and founded the Ch'ing Dynasty. This was
a Manchu tribal hairstyle, and was seen by the rulers of the new dynasty
as Chinese acceptance of Manchu rule. By the time of the Boxer Rebellion,
the queue had become a symbol of shame to the Boxers and Chinese nationalists
in the late 19th century.

Post subject: Another Leisher's 2013 Mock that you won't like
I used Nfldraftscout.com and Walters Football.com for players rankings and insight. So, I don't care if you think a player will go higher or lower, please just think what if.
Restructures: Woodson and Pickett.
Resigns: WR Jennings (3 yrs at 30 mil, backloaded)
CB Shields, LB Walden, TE Crabtree
Outside FA's: TT surprises us all and signs 1, NT Terrance Knighton Jags.
Retires: Donald Driver WR (Hollywood here he comes)
Cuts: Benson, DJ Williams, Starks, Saturday, Francois, B.Jones, Zombo,
Van Roten, White, Saine, Barclay, Lattimore, Richardson.
Trade: JaMichael Finley TE to Dolphins for 3rd pick #81.
Comp: 4th rd for Flynn
#23: Barrett Jones C/G/T Alabama 6'4" 305lbs. This should be a no brainer. Excellent fundamentals and can play all OL positions. Could be a starter at C, LT or RT. Offers insurance and depth.
#56: Larry Warford G Kentucky 6'3" 343lbs. Big strong athlete with some quickness. Better blocking for run then pass, but not bad at pass protection. Again, offers depth. TT is going OL like he went DL last year.
#81: Shawn Williams S Georgia Tough, Physical Safety with quickness and ball skills. Adds to our DBs.
#119. Shayne Skov ILB/OLB Stanford 6'3" 242lbs. Versatile LB who is tough defending the run as well as attacking pass-rusher. DUI and recoverying from injury may cause him to drop. With Bishop and Smith coming back from injury, Skov could surprise and start with Hawk.
Comp: Omaregie Uzzi G Georgia Tech 6'3" 302lbs. Yes, another OLinemen. Ideal for ZBS. Excellent mobility who can move to C in the pro's. Again, with EDS, Jones and Uzzi you have depth at C.
#151: Joseph Fauria TE UCLA 6'7" 255lbs. Well rounded TE, decent blocker and good route runner quality receiver.
#183: Zach Line FB SMU 6'1" 230lbs. Runs with power and good receiver out of the backfield. Could develope into a solid blocker and goal line FB. Either pushes Kuhn off roster or 1 TE, I vote TE.
#215: Collin Klein QB Kansas St. 6'5" 226lbs. Could develope into a good solid backup QB. Superb play maker who can run with the ball.
Someone for the PS.
53 Man roster:
QB: Rodgers, Harrell
RB: (Taylor), Green, (Line)
FB: Kuhn
WR: Nelson, Cobb, Jennings, Jones, Boykins
TE: Quarless, Crabtree, Taylor, (Fauria)
OT: Newhouse, Lang, Sherrod, Bulaga, (Jones)
OG: Sitton, (Warford), (Uzzi)
K: Crosby
P: Masthay
LS: Goode
NT: Raji, Pickett, Knighton
DE: Neal, Worthy, Daniels, Wilson
OLB: Matthews, Walden, Perry, Moses, Manning
ILB: Hawk, (Skov), Bishop, Smith
CB: TWill, Shields, House, Hayward, Bush
S: Woodson, Burnett, McMilliam, Jennings, (Williams)
PS: Johnny White RB, Andrew Datko T, BJ Coleman QB, Johnny Jones DL.

Uhh, you have Taylor (Ryan Taylor?) starting at RB? Either that's a mistake, in which case you decimated our RB corps anyways, or it's not.... in which case I seriously question your football knowledge.

You have us drafting a 300 pound, 305 pound guard and a 345 pound guard. Which one of those three doesn't make any sense considering the scheme and player prototypes we draft?

The big problem is using higher draft pics for "depth" spots on the roster as you but it. I am all for depth, but I want starters or immediate contributors out of rounds 1-4 if possible.

I agree with most everyone that this would not be a great situation. Aside from what was already mentioned, no way Lang stays at tackle, especially with a health Sherrod and Bulaga. Plus if Jones is the first round pick, something that I would like, he would play inside for us at C not a backup (third string) tackle.

wow, a lot of unabashed hatred on it. I'm not a fan but it's not that far off. Frankly, we don't even know what our needs are yet. So I'm a little indifferent on each mock.
The weakest part of our offense is the line and we've been giving guys passes because we like their potential of they've had some mean stretches of play. It's realistic that Bulaga and Sherrod will never fully recover from their injuries and that EDS needs competition. The flexibility of the players selected could come in handy for line depth next season. Jones COULD play center. He'd be in competition with EDS. Sitton will be RG and Lang could be LG or RT. Newhouse is replaceable. Warford's size isnt the issue, is he athletic enough at that size? We'll find out at the combine. Could start at LG if Lang goes to RT.
After this draft, it's realistic that we have Jones at LT, Warford at LG, EDS at C, Sitton at RG and Lang at RT with Newhouse and Uzzi being the top backups.
So there is that.
I don't like the depth at RB after this draft, but I think Starks is brought back regardless. An UDFA could make the roster too. Taylor wont be a RB.

Heuir had a drive for the win in regulation play, but lost the ball beneath the basket with 4.2 seconds left. Tomas Sanchez, who led Idaho State (4-18, 3-10) with 19 points, missed a 3-pointer from near the top of the key at the buzzer.

Teenage Driver Cell Phone Ban Takes Effect Next Tuesday
The Utah Highway Patrol says numbers don't lie: young drivers make up only eight percent of all the drivers on state roads -- but they are involved in 21 percent of all the accidents.
That statistic prompted state lawmakers, last winter, to make it illegal for 16-and-17-year-old drivers to use their cell phones.
The fine for violating the law is $25.
It takes effect Tuesday, May 14, 2013.
Exceptions to the ban allow teens to call 9-1-1 for an emergency, or to call a parent.

Va. Firm Wins $51M GSA Task Order: FBI Set for IT Upgrade
May 17, 2001
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC - GSA Federal Technology Service's FEDSIM organization has named DynCorp Information & Enterprise Technology of Reston, Va., as the winner of a task order valued in excess of $51 million dollars over the first year to upgrade the information technology (IT) infrastructure of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. FEDSIM is the General Services Administration's Federal Technology Service Federal Systems Integration and Management Center.
"FEDSIM's responsiveness and its value-added service of crafting a functionally-oriented task order was key to the FBI," said Bob Suda, Assistant Commissioner for GSA's Office of Information Technology Solutions. The FBI award is the first of two Millennia task orders in support of the FBI's Trilogy Program, a three-year IT infrastructure upgrade initiative.
FEDSIM selected DynCorp from 11 FTS Millennia contract holders competing for the task order to modernize and standardize IT support throughout the FBI, enhance its data security, and maximize use of commercial off-the-shelf equipment. Millennia is a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract vehicle which enables GSA to meet the federal government's demand for large systems integration and development projects by supporting its clients in a timely and cost-effective manner.
A second Millennia award for the User Application Component of the Trilogy program is expected within the next few weeks.
For details, contact Jeff Williams at (703) 605-9963 or visit the GSA's FEDSIM Web page at http://fedsim.gsa.gov.

Question: Can I run XBMC on PS3, Wii, Xbox360, or some random set-top box?
Answer: No, you can't!
Example; just because XBMC runs on Linux and Linux runs on the PS3, by no means implies that XBMC for Linux will just work on the PS3. It doesn't, so deal with it!
Today XBMC for Linux only support x86 CPUs (which the PS3/Wii/Xbox360 doesn't have), and more importantly XBMC Media Center GUI engine REQUIRES real hardware 3D acceleration (which is something that is simply not available under Linux on the PS3/Wii/Xbox360). These are just the most blaring problems, and there are many other hindering things as well, PLEASE JUST SEARCH THESE FORUMS!
If you think we're wrong and believe that XBMC can in fact run on the PS3/Wii/Xbox360 , then you are more than welcome to prove us wrong. XBMC is open source software after all and we would love to see your source code patches for this. However, we don't need updates on library 'X' that supplies 'Y' feature on the PS3/Wii/Xbox360. We don't want to hear your speculation and theories, (that is, unless you are an experienced C/C++ programmer and submit them with source code patches of course ).
All and any posts about XBMC on PS3/Wii/Xbox360 from this point forward can and most likely will be deleted or locked unless they're accompanied by source code patches.
All of the above goes ten fold for the Xbox 360 game console. If you want to try to port XBMC to XNA, then please just go ahead and fork the XBMC source code, as there wouldn't likely be much interchangeable code.
UPDATE: Yes we know that XBMC for Linux now also compiles and runs on both PowerPC and ARM processor architecture, but again no, that still does not mean that XBMC for Linux will work on PS3, Wii, Xbox360, or a set-top-box today! It only means the XBMC source code is endian neutral now, and that in its own only means that it is easier for others to port XBMC to other processor architecture, it does not, however, mean that XBMC's GUI engine will be able to fluently render because it does again still REQUIRE real hardware 3D acceleration.

OK, never say never. But...
XBMC can not work on the Popcorn Hour, NMT (Networked Media Tank), Tvix, Mvix, Myka, Netgear Digital Entertainer, Ruku, Dlink DSM, Sage TV HD Extender, or any set-top-box that uses a Sigma Designs' chipset for the following reasons:

2009-05-27 14:40 Are there any HD Media Players that XBMC for Linux can run on? Post: #3
Hi there....
Dose anyone know if there are any HD media players that support XBMC or XBMC can drive oir somthing?
I have been looking at
WD HDTV Media Player
or the
Both support all format types like mkv, h264 etc etc.. and can stream to HD full 1080p surround sound and all that with no frame drops and all but none of them have any cool media library solutions..
I love XBMC and have been using it 4 years from when it was XBMP.....
Is there a way to use xbmc with some kind of device like this?
Thanks in advance

...it is not like this question has not been asked before ...and XBMC for Mac has already been ported to PPC (PowerPC)
...and know that McGeagh is currently in the progress of porting XBMC for ARM which is one step closer to make this happen someday
However almost none of them support hardware accelerated 3D graphics also many of these boxes use MIPS instead of ARM
Still, believe it or not but XBMC GUI engine requires hardware 3D acceleration for it to render XBMC GUI at an acceptable framerate!
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Production Records
Here comes Orphic Machine! This amazing recording of my songs, with Carla Kihlstedt singing statements about poetry by visionary scholar Allen Grossman, is out now on Royal Potato Family / BAG Production. Pre-order now from Royal Potato Family on Double 180-gram LP, CD, and iTunes.
Early Reviews are in:
"Nothing prepared me for his remarkable new album, Orphic Machine...It's clearly Goldberg's baby, and it's probably the strongest record I've heard yet this year." - The Chicago Reader
"...a species of art song, but that term doesn't capture this music's wildly fetching mix of jazz, folk, soul, cabaret, blues and tango..." - Down Beat (4 1/2 star review)
"Allen Grossman, by the way, passed away just last year. Orphic Machine is a testament to the immortality of forward-thinking ideas that keep the soul of its originator alive after the body has passed. It's also testament that a part of Grossman remains alive in Goldberg, who has sublimely assimilated so many disparate influences, and is able to distill them into a product he projects through his own, kaleidoscopic lens." - Something Else!

Encephalitis is irritation and swelling (inflammation) of the brain, most often due to infections.
Encephalitis is a rare condition. It occurs more often in the first year of life and decreases with age. The very young and older adults are more likely to have a severe case.
Encephalitis is most often caused by a viral infection. Many types of viruses may cause it. Exposure to viruses can occur through:
Different viruses occur in different locations. Many cases occur during a certain season.
Encephalitis caused by the herpes simplex virus is the leading cause of more severe cases in all ages, including newborns.
Routine vaccination has greatly reduced encephalitis due to some viruses, including:
Other viruses that cause encephalitis include:
After the virus enters the body, the brain tissue swells. This swelling may destroy nerve cells, and cause bleeding in the brain and brain damage.
Other causes of encephalitis may include:
Some people may have symptoms of a cold or stomach infection before encephalitis symptoms begin.
When this infection is not very severe, the symptoms may be similar to those of other illnesses:
Other symptoms include:
Symptoms in newborns and younger infants may not be as easy to recognize:
Emergency symptoms:
An examination may show:
Tests may include:
The goals of treatment are to provide supportive care (rest, nutrition, fluids) to help the body fight the infection, and to relieve symptoms.
Medications may include:
If brain function is severely affected, physical therapy and speech therapy may be needed after the infection is controlled.
The outcome varies. Some cases are mild and short, and the person fully recovers. Other cases are severe, and permanent problems or death is possible.
The acute phase normally lasts for 1 to 2 weeks. Fever and symptoms gradually or suddenly disappear. Some people may take several months to fully recover.
Permanent brain damage may occur in severe cases of encephalitis. It can affect:
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have:
Children and adults should avoid contact with anyone who has encephalitis.
Controlling mosquitoes (a mosquito bite can transmit some viruses) may reduce the chance of some infections that can lead to encephalitis.
Children and adults should get routine vaccinations for viruses that can cause encephalitis. People should receive specific vaccines if they are traveling to places such as parts of Asia, where Japanese encephalitis is found.
Vaccinate animals to prevent encephalitis caused by the rabies virus.

Press statement: Germany provides 5.86 million dollars for Lebanon Recovery Fund
On 4 December 2013, Ambassador Wittig signed an agreement with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) over a contribution of 5.86 million US dollars to the "Lebanon Recovery Fund" (LRF). The German contribution will help fund quick-impact projects and stabilization measures, particularly in areas most affected by the Syrian refugee crisis.
Upon signing of the agreement, Ambassador Wittig declared:
"The violent crackdown of the Syrian Government on its people and the resulting refugee crisis pose grave challenges to neighboring countries and to Lebanon in particular. Germany remains committed to support the Lebanese Government and people in confronting these challenges. However, our assistance can only alleviate some of the most appalling impacts that the Syrian civil war is having on the entire region. We therefore call on all relevant political stakeholders in Syria to finally embark on a political process by participating in the Geneva peace conference, scheduled for 22 January 2014."
According to the UN Refugee Agency UNHCR, there are currently over 800.000 registered refugees in Lebanon, while the total number of refugees is estimated to reach up to 1.5 million people. The LRF helps to address the needs of refugees and host communities, for instance by promoting income-generating activities in the agricultural sector or by improving Lebanon's strained water and energy infrastructure.
The LRF is a Multi-Donor Trust Fund established at the request of the Government of Lebanon in 2006. It enables donors to pool their resources and rapidly provide funding for recovery and reconstruction projects executed by competent UN organizations. The current German contribution to the fund adds up to Germany's previous commitments to Lebanon, totaling 108 million US dollars since 2012. Germany has also agreed with the UNHCR and the Lebanese Government, to temporarily resettle 5,000 Syrian refugees.

Waikiki is the iconic Honolulu beach destination, stretching from Ala Wai Boat Harbor to the base of Diamond Head. The neighborhood is an appealing mix of beach recreation, Hawaiian history, cultural entertainment and urban-chic shops. Waikiki condos put you in the center of the beach entertainment scene, featuring useful amenities like air conditioning, non-smoking properties, parking and satellite or cable service.
Exploring Hawaiian history enriches your trip, and the Waikiki Historic Trail is a good place to start. The bronze surfboard trail begins at the southern edge of Waikiki Beach in Kapiolani Park and takes you through many of Honolulu's most fascinating historic spots. Especially captivating are sites in Kuhio Park, including the four healing Pohaku stones and a statue of Olympic swimmer and surf legend, Duke Kahanamoku.
Take a break from sandy beach adventures to enjoy a picnic in Kapiolani Park. Its views of Diamond Head are stellar, and its grassy fields are perfect for an afternoon soccer or football game. The park is adjacent to the historic War Memorial Natatorium and two ancient Hawaiian temple sites.
More than 900 animals make their homes in Kapiolani Park's Honolulu Zoo. The zoo is 42 acres of wildlife exhibits, with exotic creatures like Komodo Dragons, elephants, Sumatran tigers, giraffe, Malayan Sun Bears, lemurs and monkeys.
Ideally situated next to a vibrant living reef, the aquarium displays more than 500 marine species. You'll see Monk Seals, Green Sea Turtles, jellyfish, Clownfish and a 5,500-gallon Barrier Reef exhibit with 170-pound Giant Clams.
Shopping is plentiful in Waikiki, and Kalakaua Boulevard is the center of it all. Numerous luxury shops, trendy boutiques, art galleries, jewelry stores and restaurants line the avenues here. In spite of its retail nature, this Honolulu neighborhood is infused with Hawaiian culture. Even while you're shopping at venues like Royal Hawaiian Center, you'll enjoy soul-soothing ukulele music and Hawaiian chants, hula performances and lei-making classes.
Hawaii's long military history is displayed in the museum's entrancing exhibits, covering ancient Hawaiian conflicts to the Vietnam War. Tanks, barracks and helicopters are just a few items you can expect to find at the museum located in Fort deRussy on Hale Koa's grounds.
No Hawaiian vacation is complete without a little beach time. Waikiki beaches are mostly sheltered, making their waves perfect for learning to surf or simply floating on the ubiquitous pink or green rafts. At the southern end of Waikiki, beaches like Queen's Surf are quieter and grassier. Kuhio Beach is more central and features wide stretches of sand. At Waikiki's northwestern end, Duke Kahanamoku Beach features a man-made lagoon and spots perfect for sailing, swimming and wading.
Like its people, Waikiki weather is welcoming. Year-round high temperatures average in the 80s, and the cooling trade winds keep things comfortable. Light rain on Oahu is common, but Waikiki is usually drier than the other side of the island. Beachside ocean temperatures are an inviting 74 to 80 degrees.
If your starting point is another Hawaiian island, ferry over to Waikiki with your private car so you can easily get around town. If you're heading into Waikiki from another part of Oahu, consider using Honolulu's convenient and low-cost transit system, TheBus. Travelers coming from the mainland will most likely fly into Honolulu. At the airport, you can easily pick up a rental car or use TheBus to travel into Waikiki. The Waikiki Trolley is a super-convenient way to get around the neighborhood once you're here.

Would You Spend $800 on Baby Booties? Beyonce Did!
Beyonce's Baby Blue Ivy's booties are covered in Swarovski crystals.
-PJ Gach
Oh to be the child of zillionaires! Beyonce commissioned shoe designer Ruthie Davis to make a pair of booties for 8-month-old Blue Ivy. The pink leather shoes have lavender laces and are encusted with Swarovski crystals. The designer posted the photo on her Facebook page:
She wrote, "Pssssst! Take a look at the Baby Ruthie's I made especially for Beyonce and Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy…SO Sweet, right?"
Oh they're sweet all right. Sweet to the tune of $800. It's a good thing that Blue Ivy isn't at the walking stage, otherwise those blinged-out shoes would be less sparkly after a few steps.
Read Lindsay Long Creates Eco-Friendly Salmon Skin Pieces You'll Adore!
These aren't the only high-end shoes in little Blue Ivy's collection. According to the Daily Mail, she's also the proud owner of Marc by Marc Jacobs Mouse shoes (adult price $250) and Jeremy Scott x Adidas J wings ($189 for adults).
Yes, these shoes are totes adorb, but worth $800? Um, no. If you wanted to make them for yourself, you could pick up a package of rhinestones for $2.39 from Joann Fabrics and baby booties for $9.99 from amazon.com. The same look for only $12.38.
Was Beyonce smart for not gluing her fingers together attempting to do the booties herself, or just blowing money on shoes her baby may never wear? Me, I'd make the shoes and take the $787.62 and buy something cute for myself.

The Cancer in Occupy
Posted on Feb 6, 2012
(Page 2)
The Black Bloc movement is infected with a deeply disturbing hypermasculinity. This hypermasculinity, I expect, is its primary appeal. It taps into the lust that lurks within us to destroy, not only things but human beings. It offers the godlike power that comes with mob violence. Marching as a uniformed mass, all dressed in black to become part of an anonymous bloc, faces covered, temporarily overcomes alienation, feelings of inadequacy, powerlessness and loneliness. It imparts to those in the mob a sense of comradeship. It permits an inchoate rage to be unleashed on any target. Pity, compassion and tenderness are banished for the intoxication of power. It is the same sickness that fuels the swarms of police who pepper-spray and beat peaceful demonstrators. It is the sickness of soldiers in war. It turns human beings into beasts.
"We run on," Erich Maria Remarque wrote in "All Quiet on the Western Front," "overwhelmed by this wave that bears us along, that fills us with ferocity, turns us into thugs, into murderers, into God only knows what devils: this wave that multiplies our strength with fear and madness and greed of life, seeking and fighting for nothing but our deliverance."
The corporate state understands and welcomes the language of force. It can use the Black Bloc's confrontational tactics and destruction of property to justify draconian forms of control and frighten the wider population away from supporting the Occupy movement. Once the Occupy movement is painted as a flag-burning, rock-throwing, angry mob we are finished. If we become isolated we can be crushed. The arrests last weekend in Oakland of more than 400 protesters, some of whom had thrown rocks, carried homemade shields and rolled barricades, are an indication of the scale of escalating repression and a failure to remain a unified, nonviolent opposition. Police pumped tear gas, flash-bang grenades and "less lethal" rounds into the crowds. Once protesters were in jail they were denied crucial medications, kept in overcrowded cells and pushed around. A march in New York called in solidarity with the Oakland protesters saw a few demonstrators imitate the Black Bloc tactics in Oakland, including throwing bottles at police and dumping garbage on the street. They chanted "Fuck the police" and "Racist, sexist, anti-gay / NYPD go away."
This is a struggle to win the hearts and minds of the wider public and those within the structures of power (including the police) who are possessed of a conscience. It is not a war. Nonviolent movements, on some level, embrace police brutality. The continuing attempt by the state to crush peaceful protesters who call for simple acts of justice delegitimizes the power elite. It prompts a passive population to respond. It brings some within the structures of power to our side and creates internal divisions that will lead to paralysis within the network of authority. Martin Luther King kept holding marches in Birmingham because he knew Public Safety Commissioner "Bull" Connor was a thug who would overreact.

The explosive rise of the Occupy Wall Street movement came when a few women, trapped behind orange mesh netting, were pepper-sprayed by NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna. The violence and cruelty of the state were exposed. And the Occupy movement, through its steadfast refusal to respond to police provocation, resonated across the country. Losing this moral authority, this ability to show through nonviolent protest the corruption and decadence of the corporate state, would be crippling to the movement. It would reduce us to the moral degradation of our oppressors. And that is what our oppressors want.
The Black Bloc movement bears the rigidity and dogmatism of all absolutism sects. Its adherents alone possess the truth. They alone understand. They alone arrogate the right, because they are enlightened and we are not, to dismiss and ignore competing points of view as infantile and irrelevant. They hear only their own voices. They heed only their own thoughts. They believe only their own clichés. And this makes them not only deeply intolerant but stupid.
"Once you are hostile to organization and strategic thinking the only thing that remains is lifestyle purity," Jensen said. " 'Lifestylism' has supplanted organization in terms of a lot of mainstream environmental thinking. Instead of opposing the corporate state, [lifestylism maintains] we should use less toilet paper and should compost. This attitude is ineffective. Once you give up on organizing or are hostile to it, all you are left with is this hyperpurity that becomes rigid dogma. You attack people who, for example, use a telephone. This is true with vegans and questions of diet. It is true with anti-car activists toward those who drive cars. It is the same with the anarchists. When I called the police after I received death threats I became to Black Bloc anarchists 'a pig lover.' "
"If you live on Ogoni land and you see that Ken Saro-Wiwa is murdered for acts of nonviolent resistance," Jensen said, "if you see that the land is still being trashed, then you might think about escalating. I don't have a problem with that. But we have to go through the process of trying to work with the system and getting screwed. It is only then that we get to move beyond it. We can't short-circuit the process. There is a maturation process we have to go through, as individuals and as a movement. We can't say, 'Hey, I'm going to throw a flowerpot at a cop because it is fun.' "

It is a good board for all skill levels. I'm new to wakeboarding but after a few times it is now a ease to get up. On the other end my father-in-law has been riding for many years and said that the center spine makes it sit out of the water better and the design of the board cuts good even without fins. Also do to the design or is of the center spine it alows you to turn easily. The board is made to go easily go toe side not sure if that is true or not but I have no problem going toe side with the board.all in all good board.

About Me Beginner
I am just starting out and found this board to be confidence inspiring. I am a little on the heavier side for a 139, but the board still works out great! I found it has great pop and it's lightweight too! Definitely not disappointed.
Wonderful Board for anyone.
By Mark
from Lake Martin, Alabama
This board is great for ANYONE. It holds a toe side edge wonderfully with the extra molded fins and the raised foot bed. It is super smooth to ride. This board will not have as much pop for a beginner, but an advanced rider will have no problem getting air. The board lands great as well; is very stable.

By Phoenix_8

GOOD Beginner Board!!! I'm 42 y/o and NEVER wakeboarded (but can paddleboard/skateboard/snowboard ok). Tried this board and was able to stand and carve without catching an edge after only about 10 mins of use. Next day, I was jumping wakes (no flips)! Board is STABLE and TRACKS WELL with the included fins. PRICE can't be beat! I ordered the 139 cm. am 5'11" and 165-170 lbs. Riding behind a MasterCraft X35

By A.J.

Great all around board. I ride it without the fins and the smaller fins, depending on conditions and what kind of riding I'm doing. Awesome board for the price, and I have had beginners to experts try my board. All of them liked this board and had nothing bad to say about it.
Best money I've spent

Nice wakeboard for a cheap price! Very smooth landing an super light
Great board at a great price!
By Scarab Jim
from Union, OH.
I have been riding a CWB board for years and decided to try this one. I like it better because of the two smaller fins on each end rather than one in the middle. Tracks easy and more stable. I was reluctant to purchase because of some reviews stating it was heavy. It weighs 7 lbs. same as my CWB. Plenty of air when jumping if you know what your doing. Also spins easily when doing surface tricks. Very satisfied with the ride quality!
Awesome board
By Snow gnarly
from Minneapolis, MN
I started wakeboarding two years ago on a wakeboard my parents bought as a complete. It was too heavy, too large, and just not great. I decided to buy my own and chose the forefront... After using it awhile, i came to love it. It is an awesome, easy to use board. It will adapt to many diffrent levels of riders, from beginners, to experts.
Love this board

By KJK
from Land o Lakes, FL
I'm a 6'2" female. I'm athletic but at my height, it's been hard for me to get up on some smaller boards while still having a board light enough to have fun on. This board is perfect for me. It has enough stability to give me confidence but also is light with plenty of rocker, grab & pop to evolve with me as I improve. In just the few weeks I've used it, I'm already getting more height on my jumps and feeling more confident with tricks. I'm sure I'll enjoy this board for many years. I paired it with the Hyperlite Remix Black/White Bindings. Perfect!

If you look for a good dependable board I would definitely go with this hyperlite board.

Upgraded to this board from an old O brien. WOW what a difference. This board works great all around. Rides nice in the rough and makes edging a lot easier. My riding improved significantly after the first ride. For the price its hard to beat IMO! Also the pics dont do the board justice. Its looks a lot nicer in person! Only down side for me is like most things these days its made overseas. Hopefully is holds up for the next few years.
Fun Board - Great Value
By Sam
from Dayton, OH
Love this board and the way it looks. For the price, I don't think you can beat it. Comes with a few different sets of fins, which is nice. Larger fins on the toe-side actually makes a difference. Transitions between natural and switch are super easy. Grips the water when I want it to, unhooks easily when I want to butter.Clean jumps with good pop because of the 3 stage rocker.
