How can you comply with the latest emissions regulations for diesel trucks? Many options use alternative fuels. Those needing the most power for heavy-duty operations find diesel the fuel of choice for the foreseeable future. That's because diesel has the greatest energy density per gallon.
Controversy exists among manufacturers about how to meet 2010 standards. Four engine makers—Cummins, Detroit Diesel, PACCAR, and Volvo/Mack—rely on exhaust after-treatment, a process called selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Navistar's International MaxxForce engines use an "in-cylinder solution" to control nitrogen oxides (NOx). It's a marketing war of the words, as each system has vocal proponents.
What lowers particulate matter (PM) increases NOx. Strategies to lower NOx increase PM. Higher combustion temperatures burn diesel more completely, but in the confines of the engine's cylinders, high temperature fuses nitrogen and oxygen to form NOx.
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) dilutes oxygen-rich air with inert exhaust. That lowers combustion temperature to control NOx. Since 2007, diesel particulate filters (DPFs) remove PM.
SCR uses urea to convert NOx back to nitrogen and oxygen, allowing more complete combustion. It reduces PM and improves fuel economy. Being downstream of turbochargers, SCR doesn't contribute to underhood heat.
SCR engines comply with 2010 re- to 0.2 grams/quirements, limiting NOx hp-hr. SCR reduces re-circulated exhaust to improve mileage 4% to 6%.
Navistar has opted to save the cost, weight, and complexity of after-treatment by using Advanced EGR. EGR levels are increased, but advances in fuel and air management limit PM to control DPF clogging.
The bad news: Navistar achieved 0.5 grams/hp-hr NOx, short of the 0.2 gram goal. The good news: Navistar had enough credits with the EPA to be certified as compliant for 2010 and will be through 2012.
Navistar cites fuel economy gains comparable to SCR engines. According to Tim Shick, Navistar's director of business and product strategy, advanced fuel management slows the burn rate which lowers NOx. Shick reports that Navistar is testing 0.2 gram compliant engines now, pending EPA certification.
The fuel story
Alternative fuels have incentives for use. Closest to diesel but spark-ignited is natural gas, available in compressed or liquid form. Energy density is 60% of diesel. Compressed natural gas (CNG) from delivery pipes is compressed, stored, and pumped into vehicles. After compression, it is about 1% of its original volume, at about 3600 psi for a full tank.
When chilled to -260° F, gas liquefies and condenses to about 1/600 of its original volume. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is delivered and stored in cryogenic tanks, like Thermos bottles, and pumped into similar truck tanks.
Both CNG and LNG offer a price advantage over diesel on a gallon-equivalent basis, but because of tank size and weight, range is limited. Both types burn more clearly than diesel.
Hybrid vehicles combine conventional power with a means of recovering kinetic energy during braking, and using it when under extra load. Diesel/ gas/gasoline-electric hybrids have motors that double as generators, assisting braking and recharging batteries. When extra power is needed, generators become motors.
Hydraulic fluid can be used in hybrid heavy trucks. Kinetic energy is converted to hydraulic pressure stored in tanks, then released to supplement engine power for acceleration. All hybrids save fuel by capturing and re-using kinetic energy rather than wasting it as brake heat.
Propane and biodiesel are in their infancies. Although propane has been around for years, companies such as Roush Clean Tech are developing medium-duty Ford F series trucks with 6.8 Liter V-10 propane-fueled engines.
Biodiesel from renewable oils, with glycerin removed, show reduced greenhouse gas levels compared to petro diesel. Engine makers now allow up to 20% biodiesel.

Rock Hill, S.C. - The Brevard College women's team fell in the Championship match of the 2009 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Women's Tennis Tournament, 5-2, Saturday afternoon to Carson-Newman College. The SAC title is the first for the Lady Eagles in program history.
Carson-Newman, seeded second in the tournament, took two of three doubles points from fourth-seeded Brevard. Amanda Bartlett and Taryn Cappadonna defeated Lindsay Shaeffer and Kim Dixon in the top spot, 8-4, But Brevard's Lindsay Hostetter and Kayley Duval won the second match, 8-2, over Elizabeth Sneed and Cassie Moulton. Carson-Newman took the third court to assume the lead, with Emily Sorah and Kylie Elliott topping Sara Douglas and Merek Slagle, 8-1.
In singles, Shaeffer beat SAC Player of the Year Bartlett in the top flight, 6-4, 6-4, but the Lady Eagles won the final three completed individual duels. Cappadonna beat Dixon in the fourth flight, 6-2, 7-5, while Cassie Moulton got past Douglas in the sixth, 6-0, 6-4.
The clinching point for Carson-Newman came on the second court, where Sneed beat Hostetter, 6-3, 6-4. With the fifth point in hand, the match between Duval and Elliott on court three was halted, as was the fifth flight match featuring Jennifer Nyman and Sorah.
With the victory, Carson-Newman claims the SAC's automatic birth in the NCAA Division II National Tournament, while the Tornados will hope for an at-large tournament bid.

Old English macian "to make, form, construct, do; prepare, arrange, cause; behave, fare, transform," from West Germanic *makon "to fashion, fit" (cf. Old Saxon makon, Old Frisian makia "to build, make," Middle Dutch and Dutch maken, Old High German mahhon "to construct, make," German machen "to make"), from PIE *mag- "to knead, mix; to fashion, fit" (see macerate). If so, sense evolution perhaps is via prehistoric houses built of mud. Gradually replaced the main Old English word, gewyrcan (see work (v.)).
Meaning "to arrive at" (a place), first attested 1620s, originally was nautical. Formerly used in many places where specific verbs now are used, e.g. to make Latin (c.1500) "to write Latin compositions." This broader usage survives in some phrases, e.g. to make water "to urinate," to make a book "arrange a series of bets" (1828), make hay "to turn over mown grass to expose it to sun." Make the grade is 1912, perhaps from the notion of railway engines going up an incline.
Read the valuable suggestions in Dr. C.V. Mosby's book -- be prepared to surmount obstacles before you encounter them -- equipped with the power to "make the grade" in life's climb. [advertisement for "Making the Grade," December 1916]But the phrase also was in use in a schoolwork context at the time. Make do "manage with what is available" is attested from 1867. Make time "go fast" is 1849; make tracks in this sense is from 1834. To make a federal case out of (something) popularized in 1959 movie "Anatomy of a Murder;" to make an offer (one) can't refuse is from Mario Puzo's 1969 novel "The Godfather." To make (one's) day is from 1909; menacing make my day is from 1971, popularized by Clint Eastwood in film "Sudden Impact" (1983). Related: Made; making.
"match, mate, companion" (now archaic or dialectal), from Old English gemaca "mate, equal; one of a pair, comrade; consort, husband, wife," from Proto-Germanic *gamakon-, related to Old English gemæcc "well-matched, suitable," macian "to make" (see make (v.)). Meaning "manner in which something is made, design, construction" is from c.1300. Phrase on the make "intent on profit or advancement" is from 1869.

Love and respect for the environment goes far beyond our choice to recycle, how we use water and how we view our energy bills. We can make active choices every day, especially when it comes to our skincare. Many of us are continually searching for the very best organic cosmetics. From eye lifting serums to foot creams, our awareness of the quality inherent in these products cause us to turn to them for our skin. But let's look a little closer at what makes certified organic cosmetics so highly effective while helping to protect the environment and preserving our planet's resources. Here are a few things that set these products apart from competing cosmetics:
Choice of Ingredients Certified organic cosmetics are created through a process that pays extraordinary attention to each element. Free from synthetics or animal extracts, these skincare formulas contain a minimum of 95% natural plant resources and 10% or more of approved organic ingredients. Oftentimes the extracts used are from medicinal plants that have unique healing or nurturing properties. As a result you, the user, benefit from organic cosmetic products that are created from the highest quality ingredients that are free from preservatives or other synthetic components. If you have allergies or very sensitive skin, using organic products can help alleviate or even eliminate the reactions you otherwise have to chemicals or other unnatural additives in other cosmetics.
Production Process:The process of making certified organic cosmetics is strictly monitored. Each formula is supervised from the first drop through to the moment when containers are filled. Extraction methods, packaging and even waste management, follow procedures that are environmentally friendly. A good example of this is how active ingredients are extracted for natural organic cosmetics using green methods such as cold pressed plants. There are many advantages for users of any products that practice an environmentally sound and organic production process. In addition to the knowledge that what you buy contributes to a healthier planet you also receive a final product that has endured stringent manufacturing rules and guidelines before reaching your skin. Quality Testing All cosmetics products may go through extensive quality controls, but certified organic cosmetics are truly in a league of their own. At Sabon, for example, the new line of organic products bear the French ECOCERT® standard. This standard shows you that each lotion, scrub or serum meets exceptional organic requirements for everything from ingredients, production process through to packaging. The advantages of strict quality testing are obvious. But because certified organic cosmetics that bear the ECOCERT® standard contain up to 90% natural ingredients concentrated product where you can apply less to achieve the desired effect, compared with the corresponding non-organic product.
Packaging In a time where most of us already recycle, it should be natural for all manufacturers to use green packaging. Certified organic cosmetics always use packaging that is manufactured in an environmentally friendly way and that can be recycled. At Sabon all organic products come in containers that can be reused and recycled. For example, Sabon's organic body scrub is an incredibly popular product that comes in a glass jar that will look good reused on your bathroom shelf or that can easily be recycled. Sabon's stores even accepts these jars and bottles to be recycled when customers are not able to do so themselves.
Whether you think the greatest advantage of using organic cosmetics comes from the effect on your skin or the effect on our environment, you know you receive uncompromising quality and perfection. By choosing certified organic cosmetics you choose a path that can make a huge difference to your body, mind and soul while taking care of our planet.

Date: February 04 2013
The Australian share market closed weaker, with investors unwilling to push the bourse to 5000 points without new good economic news.
At the close on Monday, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was 13.6 points, or 0.28 per cent weaker at 4,907.5, while the broader All Ordinaries index was down 12.8 points, or 0.26 per cent, at 4,929.1.
On the ASX 24, the March share price index futures contract was 10 points weaker at 4,869, with 25,593 contracts traded.
The market opened higher on positive overseas leads and higher prices for base metals but fell away during the day.
The mood was not helped by the release of data showing a surprise fall in residential building approvals in December for an already struggling housing sector.
That suggests the Reserve Bank Australia (RBA) may need to cut the cash rate again in the next few months, but the central bank is not expected to move rates at its board meeting on Tuesday.
CMC Markets senior trader Tim Waterer pointed out that the Australian market had pre-emptively moved higher on Friday and outperformed Asia in anticipation of positive US jobs data.
"It appears traders took the foot off the gas pedals in the lead-up to tomorrow's RBA announcement and softer building approvals leading to softness on the bourse," he told AAP.
"Today was essentially about some key stocks on the market in the banking and materials space and profit-taking ... it's a small bump in the road on the way to the 5000 level."
The ASX200 has not hit that level since late August 2008.
In the resources sector, global miner BHP Billiton dropped 11 cents to $37.81, and Rio Tinto climbed 79 cents, or 1.2 per cent, to $67.99 after the Western Australian government approved plans to expand one of its Pilbara mines.
Fortescue Metals closed flat at $4.79 after it agreed to stop work on the development of the Iron Ore Holding's Iron Valley deposit in Western Australia.
Among the major banks, Commonwealth Bank eased 34 cents to $64.71, ANZ shed 19 cents to $26.55, National Australia Bank gained five cents to $28.05, and Westpac slipped 36 cents to $27.94.
Among other stocks, Argo Investments rose six cents to $6.65 as it said it does not expect strong earnings growth from Australian companies this year, although investor confidence should improve.
National carrier Qantas Airways was flat at $1.54 as it said it plans to broaden the number of destinations it flies to in Asia as part of its new alliance with Emirates.
Locally the spot price of Sydney gold was $US1,672.65 per fine ounce, up $US10.20 from Thursday's close at $US1,662.45.
National turnover was 1.82 billion securities worth $4.03 billion with 482 stocks up, 535 down and 370 unchanged.

Ariana Grande Says Goodbye To 'Sam & Cat' In Letter To Fans
Listen to Ariana Grande Radio on iHeartRadio
Ariana Grande is saying her goodbyes to Cat Valentine, the character she played for four years on Nickelodeon's "Victorious," and later, "Sam & Cat."
The actress-turned-singer tweeted a letter to her fans, after the network announced the cancellation of "Sam & Cat" on Sunday. Ariana says she will always hold Cat "near and dear to [her] heart," and will always appreciate the character's "sense of wonder" and ability to see "negative obstacles as opportunities to make things good."
Ariana credits Cat for her "personal growth from teenager to adult," and admits that while she hid behind the ditzy high-schooler for years, she is now able to show the world who Ariana is.
You can read the entire letter in the link below:
So the news is out about Sam & Cat. I felt it wasn't my place to make any sort of announcement so I kept (cont) http://t.co/HLWtBpiCqJ
— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) July 13, 2014
Ariana's letter is also sparking controversy for leaving out one important thank-you. The singer failed to mention her co-star Jennette McCurdy, fueling rumors that a contract dispute between the two caused the show to end.
Earlier this year, Jennette blasted the network on Twitter after boycotting its Kids' Choice Awards and was also caught up in a nude photo scandal. The fate of the show had been on the rocks since then. "Sam & Cat's" finale episode airs on Thursday.

2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
On the 3.9L V6, 5.2L V8 and 5.9L V8 the Oil leaks commonly from the valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets (front and rear), timing cover gaskets, distributor O-ring, and the rear main seal area. Using fluorescent engine oil dye can be helpful in determining the source(s) of the oil leak.
One the 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 the carbon buildup on the top of the piston is common. As the buildup increases with mileage and over time, symptoms may vary from light ticking, to ticking/hammering, to hammering/knocking noises. Fuel injector cleaner often solves the problem.
On 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 engines, the intake manifold gasket may leak and cause increased oil consumption and a spark knock during acceleration; the gasket should be replaced.
On the 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 the engine oil leaks at the distributor can be misdiagnosed as leaks from the intake manifold seal, oil pan gasket, or rear crankshaft (rear main) seal. A revised distributor is available if oil is found inside the distributor.
If a Check Engine Light illuminates indicating leak detection pump (LDP) failure, the cause is often pinched or disconnected vacuum lines to the pump. Vacuum lines should be inspected before replacing the leak detection pump. Contamination (carbon or debris) in the pump can cause failure and any hoses should be cleared before a new pump is installed.
Engine overheating can result from coolant leaks which are commonly found at the thermostat housing gasket, water pump, heater return tube O-ring at the water pump, intake manifold gasket, and timing cover gasket. Our technicians recommend a complete inspection of the cooling system after any repairs are made to be sure there are no other leaks.
If the engine cranks but does not start, or starts and stalls, the fuses should be inspected, especially the power door locks fuse. The power door lock fuse provides power to a module that sends the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) the "OK to start" signal.
Replacing a pressure solenoid valve in the transmission valve body may fix an issue where the transmission "hunts" between first and second gears. Our technicians report that customers sometimes describe this complaint as surging or bucking.
If the engine is difficult to start or cranks but does not start, it can be caused by a leak in the return side of the fuel system. This type of leak can allow air to enter the injection pump resulting in starting issues. A rubber hose on the back of the injection pump, connecting the pump to the steel hard line, that can be the source of this type of leak.
On some models a void in the rear window seal may cause a water leak. Water may be present on or under the carpet. The seal will need to be replaced if that is the source.
On the 3.9L V6 and 5.2L V8, rerouting the ignition coil wire and spark plug wires can help solve a misfire and/or surge problem that occurs at approximately 45 mph. A service bulletin was published that outlines the specifics of the repair. It states the rerouting procedure should be performed before other repairs are done for misfires, surging or spark knock.
For the 4x4 models, a high pitched whistle heard between 30 and 60 miles per hour can be caused if the tie rod adjusting sleeve is oriented in a way that the sleeve slot is facing toward the front of the vehicle. Wrapping tape completely the sleeve will allow you to verify the the sleeve is creating the whistle. Rotating the adjusting sleeve so the slot does not face forward will fix the problem.

Introduction & Disclaimer
After years of lurking and leeching on these forums I thought it was about time to give something back. I relize there are similar guides available on these forums but most are either outdated or incomplete. What I will attempt to do here is document my own experience in a very n00b friendly step-by-step guide so that others may follow. Advanced XBMC users may find this a little tedious so stick to the bold text to get concise instructions. Please keep in mind that I am not a nix expert. Everything included in this guide has been cobbled together from various forums, blogs and comments across the greater internet and I will do my best to credit everyone at the end of this post. Also if I have made a mistake, please feel free to correct me in the comments. But enough of this, grab a caffeinated beverage (your going to need it) and lets begin...
What this guide WILL cover:
- Installation and configuration of ZSNES
- Installation and configuration of Advanced Launcher plugin
- Creation of a script to kill ZSNES and return to XBMC using a button on your remote
- Installation and configuration of XBMCbuntu
- Where/How to download ROMs etc
- The meaning of life, how to cure cancer and why your wife wont do "that"...
While I'm writing this for everyone, for the sake of simplicity I'm going to make a few assumptions. Your situation may be different and feel free to post in the comments if something doesn't add up, I'll do my best to help. So, to follow this guide to the letter you will need the following:
- A fresh, working install of XBMCbuntu 11 Eden
While a fresh install is not strictly necessary, this is how I did it.
- USB Keyboard & Mouse
Connected to your XBMCbuntu machine, for navigating the XBMCbuntu desktop interface.
- USB Gamepad/Controller
I'm using a basic Logitech Precision controller. Pretty much any generic USB controller will work out of the box, if you want to use XBox360 controllers etc, it can be done but is outside the scope of this guide. We're going to assume that whatever you have is detected by XBMCbuntu and is working. You will also need to plug this in before starting up the system.
- Media Centre Remote
Again, while not strictly necessary, this guide will cover setting up a button on your remote to quit ZSNES to make everything as "wife-friendly" as possible so we're going to assume that you have one and it works with XBMC out of the box. For reference: I'm using a cheap generic RC-6 compatible media centre remote.
- Internet Connection
Might be stating the obvious, but you will need this connected to follow this guide.
A million thank you's to these gentlemen and scholars:

Buckcherry parts ways with bassist
Listen to Buckcherry on iHeartRadio
Buckcherry has officially parted ways with longtime bassist Jimmy Ashhurst.
After fans began to question why Ashhurst wasn't in the lineup at Buckcherry's recent shows, the band issued a statement explaining that he has been let go. The rockers say Jimmy voiced his "extreme level of unhappiness on a daily basis," and they gave him the opportunity to step aside on his own.
But he chose to remain, which began to "diminish the collective happiness, creativity, and progress" of the band. So the remaining band members say they've decided to move forward, although that add that Ashhurst is a great musician and they don't wish to put him in an unfavorable light.
Meanwhile, Kelly Lemieux has come on board to handle bass duties for the rest of Buckcherry's 2013 touring schedule.

By Joe Webb I have a confession. I like the idea of sustainability. I even talk a pretty good game. But, to be honest, I suck at it. I don't garden. I shop at Wal-Mart. I drive an 8-cylinder Jeep. I only recycle about a third of what I should. I eat a LOT of meat. And I like it. In fact, for all my talk about conservation and protecting wild places, I'm not really very "green" in my own home.

"After this, I definitely recommend JDate and have spoken to people about the importance of having an open mind, widening their search preferences and looking for more than a "hot" guy in their matches. Sometimes people look better in person than in their picture!"
It has always been a challenge for me, as an observant Jew, comfortable in both the Orthodox and Conservative worlds, to meet someone I felt comfortable with religiously. By widening my search I had to accept the possibility of meeting and talking with people who were in various places religiously (maybe even divorced or with children) because maybe, just maybe, I was preventing myself from finding the right person by being too exclusive.
In February of 2011, I found Eli's profile. We finally decided to meet on March 23, 2011 at the Starbucks in Englewood, New Jersey where I lived. After the first date, there were never any games. I never even doubted his interest. Within the first month of us dating, I went to a Pesach Seder at his brother's house and he began visiting my community for Shabbat. It's hard to remember the minyan without him.
Eli and I went to visit his family in Florida with his kids in April of 2012 (just after our one-year anniversary). He asked me to marry him (with his kids also) while on one knee on the way out of the Universal Studios theme park after we finished a matzah-sandwich dinner. After this, I definitely recommend JDate and have spoken to people about the importance of having an open mind, widening their search preferences and looking for more than a "hot" guy in their matches. Sometimes people look better in person than in their picture!

By Lesli Nolen
Published February 2013
It's stock show and rodeo time in San Angelo; and it's during this time I reflect back on that time in my life.
I used to show Southdown and other wool lambs. I thought they were so cute. But it was only after a year or two that I discovered this stock show stuff wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. I thought I'd show my lambs, mingle and check out the boys! I found out that I actually had to work at this stuff. My sister and I both showed, so every day after school we would run the lambs, feed and water them and work on holding them, setting their feet and walking with them. I usually did fairly well at the Crosby County shows, as did my sister. It wasn't like I always placed last. But after two years of showing I decided this was not for me. My sister enjoyed showing and continued to do so years after.
That next year, after my retirement, when dad went to buy my sister's lambs he decided to go ahead and buy me one just in case I changed my mind. He worked with it, fed it and took care of it; didn't ask me to do anything. Stock show time came and I still didn't want to show. I should have. It was probably one of the best lambs we had ever had. Instead, I just cried. I felt really bad. I knew dad worked with him and he would probably win, but I just didn't want to show. I still have no idea what my problem was back then and even today I don't remember the details after that. I don't know if my sister showed the lamb that year or what. I do remember the next year dad did not buy me a lamb just in case! That was the extent of my lamb showing career.
We also grew up with horses—always had a barn full. I wanted to be around the horses all the time. I would climb the fence to get on them. I would slide off their rear ends and I would walk under them. I thought they were there for my entertainment. Thankfully, I was never seriously injured but I did get bucked off and stepped on numerous times.
My favorite horses were Poncho, Chick, Black, Lady and X. Poncho was a black and white paint pony. He was the first horse to buck me off. I jumped on him one day and kicked him to go and go he did. He ran to the end of the arena, bucked and off I went. When I realized I wasn't hurt I thought that was kind of fun. Mom and dad didn't agree.
Chick was a sorrel horse, very tall and big. I don't know how many hands he was, but even at 5 foot 7 it was hard for me to reach the stirrups to get in the saddle. Chick only had two speeds, slow and slower. He was the calm horse out of the bunch. I could ride him or I could pile all my friends on him and he would just walk and walk and walk. He never got in a hurry, never got spooked and never had a reason to go fast. He was the horse I always rode in parades, the grand entry and just for pleasure.
Black was one of our oldest horses. He was 16 years old when I was able to ride him and I think he passed away at 18 years. But he was an awesome horse and very well trained. You could do anything on him. Dad could rope on him and then I could get on him and he would just chill and walk.
Lady and X were the last two horses around. Lady was mine. She was a black mare and we were made for each other. We were both fast and stubborn. She could run the barrels like nobody's business, but her best act was the poles. I would walk her in the arena, she would see those poles and when I kicked her to go all I had to do was hold on. She glided through each one beautifully. And I hate to say it but she would beat my sister's horse, X, every time! She was great.
X was my sister's horse, taken off the race track. He was her barrel horse. She liked to compete and participate in the rodeo. I never really rode X much, he was a little too jittery for me. He and my sister fit well and did well together. She competed and X did great for her. When it was time to hang up the reigns, dad sold him and we later found out that he had passed away not too long after that, as did the rest of them. They have all gone on to greener pastures but I'd like to think that each one of them took a piece of us with them. They were great animals and good companions.
I can't be at a stock show or rodeo and not think of them. They will always hold a special place in my heart. I think that's why the stock show and rodeo will always be a part of me, just as much as they are!

A while back I posted a question about Jet Blue's policy on only allowing 1 surfboard per bag and if they really enforce it and tips to get around it. So here is an update. I was flying to PR for 2 months Jan-March (been here for 2 days so far epic) so naturally I need more than just 1 board. I decided to take 3 all 6'2's. I got a lot of good advice here on SI about how to pack them so they don't charge me extra or not let me take them all. So what I did was wrapped all of them in bubble wrap and then wrapped that with brown packing paper, (like a Christmas gift). I then rolled up to the airport (JFK) at 4:30 am for a 5:40am flight. I figured I would check all my bags at curbside because I could tip them and they wouldn't break my balls about the Jet Blue policy. I WAS WRONG. The very second I got to the counter the very large lesbian woman asked immediately how many boards were in the bag. I confidently said 1. She said "you know I'm gonna have to check right?" At this point I pretty much have nothing to lose and said go right ahead. When she unzipped the bag and saw what looked like an Egyptian mummy she started grabbing at the sides and yelling "it doesn't feel like 1 board" So I calmly said the board is in the middle sandwiched by two blanks that weren't surfboards yet. She then became enraged and told me she surfs and knows what surfboards look and feel like. This is when I got angry not because of the bags but because there was no way that this fat piece of sh#t surfs. Some shouting ensued and she refused to take any of the bags and said I had to go to Jet Blue and deal with them. So I grabbed everything went inside to the Jet Blue check in counter the guy at the counter asked me what was in the bag I told him a cello and he slapped a tag on it and didn't charge extra or even question. My boards arrived here with no damage and best of all I didn't get tasered at any point.
Sorry this is kinda long but hope it helps someone in the future. (that's what she said)

For ages 2-5 years. For ages 2-5 years.
The day is bright with snow and Biscuit is going outside with his mistress to play. They are joined by the neighboring kids and together make a giant snowman. Biscuit, as always, is helpful, bringing the scarf to wrap around the snowman(s neck. After that activity the kids make snow angels and Biscuit decides to make a snow puppy. The outing ends with a return home to some warm cocoa and treats in front of a nice warm fire. Perhaps not a typical outing for most kids on a snow day, but one that can be enjoyed anyway.

The main street of Coast Cottages, the first phase of the project, extends to the development's 300-foot stretch of beach. "When we first started out, we built smaller homes," says Denval. "Then people started asking for bigger houses."
To answer requests, Denval began the final phase of the development, The Villas at Coast Cottages. This section offers 3,500-square-foot luxury townhomes. Such conveniences as enclosed parking, private pools, roof-top decks, and elevators mark these innovative properties. "It's the next generation of beach homes," says Patrick Anderson, vice president for sales and development for The Hamby Corporation.
"When the doors are open in the great room, you find yourself sitting on the beach," says Coastal Living design consultant Linda Woodrum. To create what the architects call a "living porch concept," UV-filtering glass doors and windows wrap three walls of the soaring 25-foot space. Sliding doors open to covered porches and further blur the line between inside and out.
The large room encompasses the living, dining, and kitchen areas, but Linda made the space feel more intimate by clearly defining each section. In the seating area, matching linen sofas flank a brown leather ottoman that serves dual purposes as a footrest and coffee table. Two pairs of floor lamps tower like palm trunks behind the sofas.
In the dining space, Linda chose an extendable pine table and oval-backed chairs. For contrast, armchairs, with a darker finish and subtle plaid upholstery, anchor each end of the table.
To avoid overpowering the room's graphic architectural details with excessive pattern and color, Linda chose neutral tones punctuated with blue accents: the palette of sand, sea, and sky. Vases, plush pillows, and a striped throw coordinate with the Caribbean blue-painted rafters above.
To define the kitchen as its own space within the great room, the designers separated it with architectural detailing. Caribbean-inspired decoration such as the turned pine posts and scrollwork over the stove adds interest. "The posts on the island are just like ones I saw on a four-poster British Colonial bed," says architect Thad Truett.
In addition to hiring craftspeople to create these elements, the architects worked with a cabinet company to further customize the space. Maple wood, finished in a linen hue, forms side cabinets. Reaching almost ceiling height, the wall units feature shelving with glass doors, a buffet counter, and open display storage below.
Surrounded by a stainless steel backsplash, an aluminum porthole-style window over the stove looks out onto the stairwell. A dual convection oven with gas cooktop provides various cooking options. Six burner grates offer plenty of room for using the kitchen's stock of dishwasher-safe, hard-anodized, nonstick cookware.
While the oven takes center stage here, the architects designed a butler's pantry for other functional items. The cabinets extend to this galley-like room, and there's also space for a built-in wine rack, an ice maker, a stainless steel prep sink, a microwave, and a counter-depth refrigerator.
A queen-size platform bed dominates the master bedroom. Crafted from split-and-woven rattan and accented with braided leather, this West Indies-influenced piece stays in keeping with the breezy architectural spirit of the house.
Above the bed, a collage of oil paintings by local artist Janet Powers reflects her view of this island's marshy landscape. "There are incessant changes in the light, the tides, the atmospheric conditions, and seasons," says Janet. "It's truly a delight to merely sit on our back porch and experience these changes." Other sculptural pieces by Janet hang over a green-and-white cabana-striped chair.
Linda custom-designed tie-top draperies to give privacy to the dressing alcove and to frame the windows. "Drapes add a cozy feeling to the room," she says. Choosing from a large variety of solid and patterned fabrics, Linda notes that this sturdy weather-resistant material, traditionally used outside, works just as well indoors.
Because there are only two bedrooms in this version of the floor plan, Linda decided to outfit the guest room with twin beds. Shutter-style headboards underscore the home's tropical flair. Monogrammed scalloped sheets and a thermal cotton blanket provide just enough cover for the warm climate. In case of a cool spell, a quilted crimson toile spread waits at the foot of each bed.
Juxtaposing these cottage comforts with island style, Linda accented the room with bold floral art and bamboo lamps. Unlike the soothing colors in the rest of the house, this one boasts vibrant red. "It's always fun to have one room in the house that's a little different," Linda says.
The architects looked toward examples of regional architecture from the early 20th century when designing the bedrooms. Before air-conditioning, people used vaulted or tray ceilings to let heat rise. A powerful energy-efficient ceiling fan keeps the air moving, even when the windows are closed. "Exposing the ceiling structure also gives the rooms much more volume," says Thad.
The house plan includes three full baths?one in each downstairs bedroom and a third in the loft. Matching vanities, built like pieces of furniture, are topped with granite countertops, chosen for their textured good looks. In the shower, guests can change the spray configurations with a simple twist. Nickel-finished fixtures offer clean, classic style.
A mezzanine wraps the second floor of the great room, leaving it open to the vaulted ceiling and room below. Much like vacationers on the promenade of a cruise liner, homeowners and guests will flock to this level to take in casual conversation and coastal views. Three walls of crank windows impart the feel of boundless space. French doors open onto a deck that points due south. Here, Linda arranged two upholstered wooden armchairs and an ottoman as a gathering area. "It's a great cocktail spot for the end of the day," she says.
Because of the exposed interior structure, the design team had to get creative in hiding the air system. "We didn't have a lot of room for the air-handler system," Thad says. "So we used high-velocity heating and cooling and hid the vents behind the box beams." Small circles, nodding to porthole design, give the quiet, energy-efficient system entrance to the vaulted room.
An all-inclusive electronic system provides the most up-to-date technology. "It's intuitive homes wiring," says Mike Galyean, the branch manager of AVI. Homeowners customize features to operate lighting, music, security, and more. "You can set the system to automatically turn lights on and off when you walk in and out of a room," Mike says. "You can program different settings for a dinner party or pool party, depending on your mood."
In the loft bath, a whirlpool tub transforms the room into a mini-spa. The tub fits a small area but still gives maximum comfort with its added depth, headrest, and contoured lumbar support.
"The house is a marriage of several styles," Thad says. "We pushed them all together and made a kind of Brunswick stew."
Nowhere is this mix more evident than on the porches. Shutters suggest West Indies style, the heart-pine posts are Cracker-inspired, and deep overhangs nod to the post-Reconstruction period. Decks on the upper levels and a cabana room below all point seaward. Durable composite boards run long, like planks on a boat.
Hardy natural and synthetic wicker seating in traditional styles ensures everyone has a place to rest. Linda put together several collections in different finishes to give the lounging areas the sense of being assembled over time. On one side porch, rocking chairs line up like seagulls on a pier. A rope hammock, still made in accordance with its century-old design, swings gently in the constant breeze. Ceiling fans, crafted out of weather- and tarnish-resistant materials, whir overhead with the reliability of the tide.
Wood screened doors carved with decorative fish open onto the area beneath the deck where some might store surfboards or canoes. But the space became a private retreat instead. "Everyone wanted to reclaim this spot as an outdoor room," says Linda. "It has an amazing breeze. You're on the beach but also have a lot of privacy."
The design team installed a therapeutic spa, with power jets that soothe necks, backs, and feet with the touch of a button. Remote-controlled, retractable screens fit the structural openings framing the spa. Made from ultra-sheer fiberglass mesh, they let the breeze in but keep pests away.
For this outdoor space, Linda chose weather-resistant fabrics and furnishings. If the house came with frozen-drink service, loungers would never leave the cabana room's chaises or built-in bed.
When the design team first met with Coast Cottages developer Denval Hamby, they decided the home should be oceanfront. The dramatic site begged for a Caribbean-style house, agreed architects Keith Summerour and Thad Truett of Summerour and Associates. "After we surveyed the perimeters," says Thad, "we took it and ran with it."
Along coastal Georgia, trees on the dune line reaching at least 20 feet determine the building setback. On this lot, three trees reached this height, forming a triangle. "I believe you can work with the environment," Denval says. To allow the home to blend with the island's architecture and landscape, they kept it just under 2,700 square feet.
Though it appears to be an established beach cottage, this house offers the most modern amenities available today. Constructed with stylish, long-lasting, environmentally friendly materials, the structure can withstand winds up to 120 mph. "The house is so solid," says builder Dick Pipe, "that you could pick it up and turn it upside down and it would still stay together."
Landscape architect Bryce Vann worked with the lot's shape and the house's design to create the garden layout. "I wanted it to feel like it has always been here," she says. Bryce enhanced existing foliage by adding plants indigenous to the area. "After these plants get established, the homeowners won't have to do much at all."
The triangular lot line guided the shape of the floor plan. "It's bigger on the street side and narrows on the oceanfront," says architect Keith Summerour. "It comes to a point?almost like the bow of a ship." Humble compared to most resort homes, the cottage is only 2,688 square feet. But multiple covered porches, a deck, and a downstairs cabana make it feel a little larger. "This would be a great lake or mountain house, too," says Keith, referring to its openness to the outdoors.
Glass wraps three sides of the great room that centers the plan. Two bedrooms and baths extend like wings on either side. A tower-like staircase leads to a loft on the top floor. While the Coastal Living Idea House opens to the great room below, the plan also includes two alternate second-floor versions with bedrooms.

Older mom pregnant again
Hello everyone. I am new here. I am 40 years old and I currently have 4 children (ages: 11,13,15,18) and a Russian exchange student (age 19). I had my tubes tied 11 years ago and just found out that I am 7 weeks pregnant. I am very worried, nervous, scared.....
My children are all very upset and resentful of having another baby. They feel it is going to interfere with their lives and they are being very selfish. This is making things hard on me.
I hope I can get answers to all my questions from others who may have experienced this. It is hard to have older children and now start over again when I feel like I have negativity coming at me from everyone in my house (except hubby).
Thank you,

Great to have you here, and congratulations on your pregnancy. I do hope that you can find some mom to mom support to help you through this difficult time in your life.
I am sorry to hear that your family is not being supportive of your pregnancy. Do know that it is not your fault, you have done nothing wrong and everything right by sustaining your pregnancy this far.
You have done what is best for you and your situation and I applaud you for that.
I highly suggest that you seek out the care of a midwife, she will be your best support during this pregnancy.
I look forward to getting to know you more here in the forums.
I am a mom of 5 children myself.


text: The city of Celebration, Fla., his own PBS series Pride of Place, and Louis Kahn all make cameos in Robert A.M. Stern's new book, Tradition and Invention in Architecture. In his preface to this collection of 26 essays written between 1963 and 2006, Stern notes that "ironically, the past provides us with the last best hope for the future"—and this sets the stage for his study of architectural history. In the essays that follow, he lauds Thomas Jefferson as the "first real American dreamer," discusses the continuing viability of the Classical architectural vocabulary, and comes to the heartfelt defense of Philip Johnson (with whom Stern is pictured in the book) as an undervalued "architect qua architect." • $40; Yale University Press, February 2012

30 Years Later, the Mac Is Mostly Screen
As Apple's indomitable line of Mac computers turns 30 today, we decided to look at how much it's changed over the years, particularly how the screen has grown while the rest of the all-in-one computer has diminished in size.
Still, after a little bit of math, we were surprised to see how a sizeable screen has been a key feature since Day One.
On Jan. 24, 1984, the original Mac — the Macintosh 128K — went on sale at a price of $2,495. When looking at the first Mac head on, 33% of the view (keyboard and mouse none withstanding) was display.
In 1998, Apple released its first iMac, which was not only a blockbuster seller, but a desktop that reinvented the beige box, and showed the world how fashionable a computer could be. During its lifetime, the original iMac's iconic outer shell of semi-translucent plastic sold in 13 different colors — or as Apple liked to say, "flavors." On the face of the original iMac, 67% was devoted to the screen.
The iMac G4 replaced the candy-coated Macs in 2002 with a new design that looked a lot more like a lamp than a PC. The iMac G4 was also the first iMac to introduce an LCD monitor, with a display that occupied 48% of the face of the device.
Apple followed up the lamp iMac with a new design in 2004 that is a stylistic forefather to today's iMac. The iMac G5 stuck with an LCD display but moved the guts of the computer from the machine's base to behind the screen — which is why this generation of desktop was a bit hulking. The iMac G5′s screen took up 55% of the front-facing view.
Unsurprisingly, the display of the contemporary iMac dominates the view. If you look at the top-of-the-line 27-inch model dead on, 70% of what you see are the multitude of pixels that make up its LED-backlit display.

U.S. capital, founded 1791, named for President George Washington (1732-1799), the family name from a town in northeastern England, from Old English, literally "estate of a man named Wassa." The U.S. state was named when it was formed as a territory in 1853 (admitted to the union 1889).
State in the northwestern United States bordered by British Columbia, Canada, to the north; Idaho to the east; Oregon to the south; and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Its capital is Olympia, and its largest city is Seattle. The area to the west of the Cascades, which run north and south through the middle of the state, is wet, mountainous, and forested, that to the east is arid.

Corneal ulcers and infectionsBacterial keratitis; Fungal keratitis; Acanthamoeba keratitis; Herpes simplex keratitis
The cornea is the clear (transparent) tissue at the front of the eye. A corneal ulcer is an erosion or open sore in the outer layer of the cornea. It is often caused by infection.
Corneal ulcers are most commonly caused by an infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or a parasite.
- Acanthamoeba keratitis occurs in contact lens users, especially in people who make their own homemade cleaning solutions.
- Fungal keratitis can occur after a corneal injury involving plant material, or in people with a suppressed immune system.
- Herpes simplex keratitis is a serious viral infection. It may cause repeated attacks that are triggered by stress, esposure to sunlight, or any condition that impairs the immune system.
Corneal ulcers or infections may also be caused by:
- Eyelids that do not close all the way, such as with Bell's palsy
- Foreign bodies in the eye
- Scratches (abrasions) on the eye surface
- Severely dry eyes
- Severe allergic eye disease
- Various inflammatory disorders
Contact lens wear, especially soft contact lenses worn overnight, may cause a corneal ulcer.
Symptoms of infection or ulcers of the cornea include:
- Blurry or hazy vision
- Eye that appears red or bloodshot
- Itching and discharge
- Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
- Very painful and watery eyes
- White patch on the cornea
Exams and Tests
- Examination of scrapings from the ulcer
- Fluorescein stain of the cornea
- Keratometry (measuring the curve of the cornea)
- Pupillary reflex response
- Refraction test
- Slit-lamp examination
- Tests for dry eye
- Visual acuity
Blood tests to check for inflammatory disorders may also be needed.
Treatment for corneal ulcers and infections depends on the cause. Treatment should be started as soon as possible to prevent scarring of the cornea.
If the exact cause is not known, patients may be given antibiotic drops that work against many kinds of bacteria.
Once the exact cause is known, drops that treat bacteria, herpes, other viruses, or a fungus are prescribed. Severe ulcers sometimes require a corneal transplant.
Corticosteroid eye drops may be used to reduce swelling and inflammation in certain conditions.
Yourhealth care providermay also recommend that you:
- Avoid eye makeup
- Don't wear contact lenses at all, or don't wear them at night
- Take pain medications
- Wear an eye patch to keep out light and help with symptoms
- Wear protective glasses
Outlook (Prognosis)
Many people recover completely from corneal ulcers or infections, or they have only a minor change in vision.
However, a corneal ulcer or infection can cause long-term damage to the cornea and affect vision.
Possible Complications
Untreated corneal ulcers and infections may lead to:
- Loss of the eye (rare)
- Severe vision loss
- Scars on the cornea
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You have symptoms of corneal ulcers or an infection
- You have been diagnosed with this condition and your symptoms become worse after treatment
Getting treated for an eye infection by an ophthalmologist right away may prevent ulcers from forming. Wash hands and pay very close attention to cleanliness while handling contact lenses. Avoid wearing contact lenses overnight.

A suspected drunken driver was injured Saturday night after he collided with a milk truck in Logan Canyon.
Utah Highway Patrol said the 31-year-old Cornish man was southbound on State Route 89 when his pickup crossed into the northbound lane and into the path of tractor trailer carrying a load of milk.
The passenger side of the pickup collided with the passenger side of the semi, which caused the semi to spring a fuel leak, troopers said.
The driver of the pickup was taken to a hospital for treatment, and when he was released, he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and taken to the Cache County Jail, troopers said.
The driver of the semi was uninjured.
Troopers said alcohol was believed to have caused the crash.

Modern zoos don't work in isolation - there's a network of over 600 zoos worldwide that act like a giant Noah's Ark for many species. To make sure the animals in world zoos are genetically healthy, it sometimes involves moving animals like Hunter between them.
But it's not just pot luck as to which animal moves to another zoo within Australia or goes on an international journey. An international database with the histories of more than 2 million animals helps determine this. Before Taronga considers moving an animal, all the potential breeding matches are analysed to predict the genetic diversity of future offspring. In some respects it's like a giant computer match-making system for animals being cared for by zoos around the globe.
When Taronga sends an animal to another zoo, we try and pick the most direct travelling route to minimise the amount of time the animal is in transit and where possible a keeper accompanies the animal on the journey to care for them and help make the transition easier. We also try and choose transport times when the weather conditions are favourable or similar at both zoos so the animal doesn't get a shock going from a Sydney summer to a frosty winter, for instance.
Hunter the Koala had been an exceptionally good breeding male here at Taronga Zoo. He had sired a number of offspring, so his genes were very well represented in Australia. When LA Zoo started looking for a new breeding male koala, Hunter's track record put him in good stead. Hunter was also unrelated to any of the females looking for a mate, and even though they gave him a hard time when he arrived in LA, his new keepers have high hopes for him when breeding season comes round again. He's now settled in and female koala Georgie, in particular, has taken a liking to him.
