Today's Wiki-est, Amazonian Googlies
1. Lithium or iridium : METAL
Lithium is an element, a soft silver-white metal.
The element Iridium is represented by the symbol Ir. It is a metal that's very hard, and is in fact the second densest of all the elements (after Osmium). It is also the metal that is most resistant to corrosion.
10. W.C.'s : LAVS
Our word "lavatory" originally referred to a washbasin, and comes from the Latin "lavatorium", a place for washing. In the 1600s a "lavatory" came to mean a washroom, and in the 1920s a toilet.
When I was growing up in Ireland, a "bathroom" was a room that had a bath and no toilet. The separate room with the commode was called "the toilet" or sometimes the W.C. (the water closet). Apparently the term closet was used because in the 1800s when homeowners started installing toilets indoors they often displaced clothes and linens in a "closet", as a closet was the right size to take the commode. It has been suggested that the British term "loo" comes from Waterloo (water-closet ... water-loo), but no one seems to know for sure. Another suggestion is that the term comes from the card game of "lanterloo" in which the pot was called the loo!
14. En masse : AS ONE
"En masse" is of course a French term, which is best translated as "as a group".
15. Area jiggled while twerking : REAR
Twerking is a dancing move in which a woman (usually) shakes her hips up and down causing a lot of "wobbling". It's possible that "twerk" is a portmanteau of "twist" and "jerk".
17. Food critic's assessments of calamari? : SQUID MARKS (from "skid marks")
"Calamaro" is the Italian word for "squid" (plural "calamari").
19. Brilliant 13-Down : NOVA
A nova is basically a star that suddenly gets much brighter, gradually returning to its original state weeks or even years later. The increased brightness of a nova is due to increased nuclear activity causing the star to pick up extra hydrogen from a neighboring celestial body. A supernova is very different from a nova. A supernova is a very bright burst of light and energy created when most of the material in a star explodes. The bright burst of a supernova is very short-lived compared to the sustained brightness of a nova.
21. Part of a Holmes comment to Watson : MY DEAR
"My dear Watson …"
In the marvelous Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes' sidekick Dr. Watson is referred to only by his family name, except for two occasions when it is revealed that his first name is John. However, in a third and final mention, Dr. Watson is called "James" by his wife, apparently a lapse in memory on the part of the author.
23. Nintendo's Super ___ : NES
The acronym Super NES (or SNES) stands for Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Our kids probably have one somewhere ...
24. Tony-nominated musical based on a 1992 Disney movie : NEWSIES
"Newsies" is a 1992 musical drama film that is based on the Newsboys Strike of 1899. Starring in the film are Christian Bale, Bill Pullman, Robert Duvall and Ann-Margret. Back in the late 1800s, "newsies" were young homeless children selling newspapers as a living. The boys organized themselves and went on strike for two weeks in protest against the money they were paid. The strike was successful and the rates were raised.
27. Maneuver on a chessboard? : SQUARE TACTIC (from "scare tactic")
It is believed that the game of chess originated in northwest India, evolving from a 6th-century game called "chaturanga", a Sanskrit word meaning "four divisions". These four (military) divisions were represented in the game:
- Infantry (now "pawns")
- Cavalry (now "knights")
- Elephants (now "bishops")
- Chariots (now "rooks")
36. River under the Ponte Vecchio : ARNO
The Ponte Vecchio is a famous bridge that spans the Arno River in Florence, Italy. The bridge dates back to medieval times, and indeed the name "Ponte Vecchio" translates as "Old Bridge".
37. Steinway offering : GRAND
Steinway & Sons is supplier of handmade pianos based in New York City and in Hamburg, Germany. The company was founded in Manhattan in 1853 by German immigrant Henry E. Steinway. One element of Steinway's business model is to offer a "piano bank" service. Performing artists can "borrow" a particular piano from the bank for a particular concert or tour. About 400 banks are in the piano, and are located over the world. The value of the bank's collection of pianos is estimated at over $25 million.
38. ___ Cruces, N.M. : LAS
Las Cruces (Spanish for "the crosses") is the second largest city in the state of New Mexico, and is the home of New Mexico State University.
41. One seeing pink elephants : SOT
Our word "sot" comes from the Old English "sott", meaning a fool. The word "sot" started to be associated with alcohol and not just foolery in the late 1500s.
The first documented use of the phrase "seeing pink elephants", a euphemism for being drunk, is by Jack London in his autobiographical novel "John Barleycorn". In London's description, drinkers not only see pink elephants, but also blue mice.

Alexei Kosygin was leader of the Soviet Union after Nikita Khrushchev, serving during the Cold War from 1964 to 1980.
46. Believers in one god : THEISTS
Broadly speaking, "theism" is the belief that there is at least one god. The term is also used describe the belief in just one god, what is perhaps more accurately referred to as "monotheism". As such, followers of Christianity, Judaism and Islam would be classified as theists.
47. Elvis's label : RCA
RCA Records is the second-oldest recording label in the US, after Columbia Records.
50. Stallone's genre : ACTION
If ever there was a movie that defines a career breakthrough for an actor, it would have to be "Rocky" for Sylvester Stallone. Stallone was a struggling actor in 1975 when a Muhammad Ali fight inspired Stallone to write a screenplay for a boxing movie, which he did in just three days. His efforts to sell the script went well but for the fact that the interested studios wanted a big name for the lead role, and Stallone was determined to be the star himself. Stallone persevered and "Rocky" was eventually made with him playing title role of Rocky Balboa. The movie won three Oscars, and "Sly" Stallone had arrived ...
56. Talk show physician : DR OZ
Mehmet Oz is a cardiothoracic surgeon, and a TV personality known simply as "Dr. Oz". Oz appeared as a health expert for several seasons on "The Oprah Winfrey Show". Now he has his own "The Dr. Oz Show" on radio and television that is backed by Winfrey's Harpo Productions.
57. Outstanding posture for a catcher? : GREAT SQUAT (from "great Scott!")
No one seems to know for sure who the Scott is in the exclamation "great Scott!". One theory is that the reference is to the commander-in-chief of the US Army during the Civil War, General Winfield Scott. Scott weighed in at 300 pounds later in his life, and was so obese that he could not ride a horse.

62. Horse with a patchy coat : PINTO
A "pinto" is a horse with patchy markings of white mixed with another color. "Pinto" means "painted" in American Spanish.
1. Perry who's on the case : MASON
I must have read all of the Perry Mason books when I was in college. I think they kept me sane when I was facing the pressure of exams. Author Erle Stanley Gardner was himself a lawyer, although he didn't get into the profession the easy way. Gardner went to law school, but got himself suspended after a month. So, he became a self-taught attorney and opened his own law office in Merced, California. Understandably, he gave up the law once his novels became successful.

One egg hatched into the beautiful Helen, later to be known as Helen of Troy and over whom the Trojan War was fought. The other egg hatched into the twins Castor and Pollux. Castor and Pollux had different fathers according to the myth. Pollux was the son of Zeus and was immortal, while Castor was the son of Leda's earthly husband, and so he was a mortal. William Butler Yeats wrote a famous sonnet called "Leda and the Swan" in 1924.
6. Dairy aisle rating : GRADE A
Chicken eggs are graded according to the size of the air cell within the shell at the large end of the egg. The size of the air cell is measured by viewing the egg in front of a bright light in a process known as candling. The smallest air cell receives a grade of AA. A slightly larger air cell is grade A, and the largest is grade B.
7. Suffix with sonnet : -EER
A sonnet is a short poem with varying rhyming schemes but always with 14 lines. The sonnet form has been around at least since the 13th century. The Shakespearean sonnet is composed of three quatrains (4 lines) and a final couplet (2 lines).
9. James Stewart title role : MR SMITH
"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" is yet another great film directed by Frank Capra. The title role is played by James Stewart, alongside Jean Arthur. When the film was premiered in the nation's capital in 1939, the list of guests included 45 US Senators. Not many of the senators liked the movie at all, and some attacked it as anti-American and pro-Communist propaganda because it portrayed corruption in Washington.
10. Topiary pro : LANDSCAPER
Topiary is the practice of training and clipping perennial plants into clearly defined shapes.
13. Southern Cross unit : STAR

29. Cloned menace of film : T-REX
The Tyrannosaurus rex and other dinosaurs were cloned in the "Jurassic Park" series of books and films.
"Jurassic Park" is a 1990 novel by Michael Crichton, adapted into a hugely successful movie by Steven Spielberg in 1993. One of the main premises of the novel is that dinosaur DNA could be harvested from mosquitoes trapped in amber (fossilized tree resin), the DNA coming from the dinosaur blood consumed by the mosquitoes. The dinosaur DNA is then sequenced and used to create clones of the original beasts. A clever idea, but apparently not very practical from what I've read ...
30. About, on memos : IN RE
The term "in re" is Latin, derived from "in" (in) and "res" (thing, matter). "In re" literally means "in the matter", and is used to mean "in regard to", or "in the matter of".
31. "___ Fan Tutte" : COSI

33. "The Hurt Locker" setting : IRAQ
The 2008 movie "The Hurt Locker" is a disturbing drama about a US Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team on the front lines during the Iraq War. The film appears to be very realistic, and was filmed in Jordan just a few miles from the Iraqi border. The screenplay was written by Mark Boal, a journalist who was embedded with an EOD team in 2004. "The Hurt Locker" won six Academy Awards, including Best Director for Kathryn Bigelow, the first woman to be so honored.
34. Prego competitor : RAGU
The Ragu brand of pasta sauce is owned by Unilever. The name " Ragù" is the Italian word for a sauce used to dress pasta, however the spelling is off a little. In Italian the word is "Ragù" with a grave accent over the "u", but if you look at a jar of the Unilever sauce, it is spelled "Ragú" on the label, with an acute accent. Sometimes I think we just don't try ...
The Prego brand of pasta sauce is owned by the Campbell Soup Company. It is actually based on the family recipe of one of the company's chefs. "Prego" literally means "I pray" in Italian, but it translates in English best as "you're welcome" when it is used after a "thank you" ("grazie", in Italian).
38. Centers of attention : LOCI
"Locus" (plural "loci") is Latin for "place".
39. The "A" of I.P.A. : ALE
India Pale Ale is a style of beer that comes from England. The beer was originally intended for transportation from England to India, hence the name.
41. Baseball's Old Professor : STENGEL
Casey Stengel was a professional baseball player, playing from 1912-1925 and managing from 1934-1965. Stengel was born in Kansas City. He had German heritage, and so was called "Dutch" for much of his early life. As he acquired fame on the baseball field he was given the nickname "Casey", largely because he came from Kansas City ("KC") and also because of the popularity of the poem "Casey at the Bat". He was a smart and erudite guy when it came to baseball, so sportswriters tended to call him "The Old Professor".
44. P on campus : RHO
Rho is the Greek letter that looks just like our Roman letter "p".
47. Attend a homecoming, say : REUNE
"To reune" is to attend a reunion.
48. Jalopy : CRATE
The origins of our word "jalopy" meaning "dilapidated old motor car" seem to have been lost in time, but the word has been around since the 1920s. One credible suggestion is that it comes from Jalapa, Mexico as the Jalapa scrap yards were the destination for many discarded American automobiles.
49. Tycoon on the Titanic : ASTOR
John Jacob Astor IV was a member of the famous and wealthy Astor family of New York. Astor and his second wife Madeleine were passengers on the RMS Titanic when it made its fateful journey in 1912. John did not survive the tragedy, and was the wealthiest person to go down with the ship. Madeleine was picked up in a lifeboat, along with her nurse and maid.
52. "The Complete Works of Shakespeare," e.g. : TOME
"Tome" first came into English from the Latin "tomus" which means "section of a book". The original usage in English was for a single volume in a multi-volume work. By the late 16th century "tome" had come to mean "a large book".
Although William Shakespeare is known as a playwright and poet, he perhaps began his career as an actor in London. Shakespeare definitely acted in some of his own plays early in his career, as well as some plays by other playwrights of the period, and in particular those of Ben Johnson.
58. Mens ___ (criminal intent) : REA
"Mens rea" is Latin for "guilty mind" and is a central concept in criminal law. The concept is expanded to "actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea" meaning "the act does not make a person guilty unless the mind be also guilty". In other words, a someone should not be deemed guilty of an act, unless he or she had a "guilty mind", intended to do wrong.
59. Proterozoic ___ : EON
The Proterozoic eon extended from about 2,500 million to 542 million years ago. It was during the Proterozoic eon that oxygen accumulated in high levels in the Earth's atmosphere. The end of the eon is marked by the appearance of the planet's first animals.

Review: This disc does not get enough credit. It is one of the most predictable, stable, chain-seeking discs I have ever thrown. At first, I was unable to control its heavy weight (180g) and basically thought it was a piece of... well it wasn't until I threw my beloved KC Roc into the lake at winthrop and was forced to finish my round with the CE shark that I realized what I had been missing by just leaving it in my bag that whole time. This disc basically "knows" what I want it to do and then it simply does it. Beautiful s curves, solid predictable flight, and its great for hyzers. Best of all its takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. Im not gonna say that Rocs are overrated but for sure sharks are underrated.
Posted: 12-23-04
Don't overlook the Champ Shark as a midrange next time you go looking for more plastic. I heard thru the grapevine that Schwebby loves 'em so I went to pick one up. I wasn't dissapointed!!! I'm LHBH (cheater!) and use my mids for shots up to 275'. This disc just begs to be crushed! I've not yet found one in any weight that is flippy in the least. Stable Pig is the best way I could describe it. It is the most predictable hyzer shot in my bag. I am on a hunt to find more b/c 5 is not enough. Just for reference I bought 4 CE Rocs at the USDGC and have had no success keeping them on a predictable hyzer or staight line like I can with my Champ Sharks. I love this disc.

I am an amateur RHBH thrower. I started with a 166, and moved up to a 177 as the lighter weight fluttered too much for me with a lot of snap. I find the Shark to be very predictable in its flight, holding its line for around 85-90% of its flight, with a slight left tail. With the lighter weight I can really finesse it to where I want it. A flat release and it will pretty much finish perfectly straight for me. Release with a good hyzer and I have a nice long left sweeping flight with little variance. For shorter holes, I even tee off with the Shark. With enough power and snap I can keep it around 10ft off the ground and still push it out close to 275ft. Maybe not that impressive, but effectiveJ. Overall, the Shark would be the equivalent of most golfers Roc, a predictable midrange.

Submitted by Chris Cauble
As a thrower of CE Rocs, I totallly understand the frustration with finding and being able to afford a consistent predictable mold. I found it. The CE Shark is the midrange of choice for me for this reason. I love my Rocs, but I feel this great all-around disc is being sadly overlooked. There appears to be some stigma that Sharks are not a "real player's" disc. I don't get this because my CE first run Shark is as stable and flies practically identical to my '03 CE Roc. It is a great midrange for hard long straight approaches. I find if you really drive it hard, it will hold a straight line and drop straight down. It is a great short overstable driver and skips nicely too. My disc has taken a serious beating and still flies as true as day one. The CE Shark also is a very "true" flyer as it goes just where you throw and holds the angle all the way, so it is great in helping to correct throwing errors. It is a tad more domey than a Roc, and a little slower. It is a great replacement for a broken in 10X KC Roc, which many of us hold as one of the truly awesome discs ever encountered. Big ups for the Sharks!!

| MSHA's Accident Prevention Program
Safety Idea
Truck Loading Safety
| Truck drivers are involved in more accidents than any other equipment operators in the mining industry. Although most of the accidents are the result of loss of control (wrecks), many were the result of drivers getting struck by another piece of equipment after exiting their vehicles. This is especially true while the trucks are getting loaded at stockpiles.
Drivers are often struck by the loader or other trucks, and in a few cases they are covered and suffocated by materials sliding from the stockpiles. Rick Blois, Safety Officer and CDL instructor at the Jersey City Incinerator Authority, advises drivers: "When you approach a loader as a driver, always approach to the driver's side (your side as the truck driver) as to allow eye contact with the operating engineer." He further adds: "I instruct my operators not to load a truck if they don't see the driver or if the driver steps out of his rig without being prompted by the operator. The operator is to cease movement and lower his or her work until determination is made as to the intention of the truck driver."

GetEQUAL's Robin McGehee discusses her meeting at the White House
Yesterday, we put up a post from GetEQUAL's Founder and Co-Director Robin McGehee titled, "Back to the White House — to walk through the gates." Yes, Robin, who got arrested in front of the White House on Monday, had a meeting at the White House on Wednesday. Robin and Heather Cronk met with Brian Bond, who serves as Deputy Director of the Office of Public Engagement.
It's been quite a week for Robin and GetEQUAL. Today, I talked to Robin about her visit to the White House, including how it evolved and what happened when she got there. As you'll see, Robin's post on AMERICAblog Gay played a role in the meeting. Unlike many of the meetings at the White House, this one was on-the-record. Robin wouldn't have it any other way.
The interview is in two parts:
Dan Savage discusses Obama's 'It Gets Better' video
Dan Savage was on CNN this morning to talk about Obama's video. Dan was, as always, spot on.
"Here you have the President of the United States saying that you didn't choose it — to be gay — and you will get through this…that said, the President of the United States has the power to do more than assure LGBT kids that it will get better; the President of the United States has the power to make it better for LGBT adults and children."
Obama Discusses Bullying, 'DADT', Whether Being Gay is a Choice, at MTV Town Hall
At an MTV Town Hall with young people this afternoon, Obama faced a number of questions on LGBT issues.
One question dealt with online harassment, and bullying (transcript via the White House):
Q Hello, my name is Allie Vonparis (ph). I'm a junior at University of Maryland in College Park and also — this is more of a personal question — but I'm also a victim of anonymous, hurtful, degrading harassment over the Internet. Police and university officials have been unable to help put a stop to it. My question to you is, what can you do, if anything, to put a stop to these vicious attacks over the Internet while preserving our rights to freedom of speech? I also ask this in light of the recent — the tragic deaths recently on the news of young people who are bullied and harassed online. Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, it's a great question. And obviously our heart breaks when we read about what happened at Rutgers, when we read about some of these other young people who are doing nothing to deserve the kind of harassment and bullying that just completely gets out of hand.
And so we actually, the Department of Education, has initiated a — we had a summit a couple of weeks ago just to talk about this issue: How can we help local and state officials set up structures where young people feel safe, where there's a trigger that goes off when this kind of bullying starts taking place so that immediately school officials can nip it at the bud? So there are a range of cooperative efforts that we can initiate.
Now, in terms of the Internet, you're right, it is a challenging thing because the Internet — part of the power of the Internet is, is that information flows out there and it's generally not censored and it's generally not controlled by any single authority.
But at your school, for example, I think there is nothing wrong with instituting policies that say that harassment of any form, whether it comes through the Internet or whether it happens to you face to face, is unacceptable; that we've got zero tolerance when it comes to sexual harassment, we have zero tolerance when it comes to harassing people because of their sexual orientation, because of their race, because of their ethnicity.
And I think that making sure that every institution, whether it's our schools, our government, our places of work, take these issues seriously and know that in some cases there are laws against this kind of harassment and that prosecutions will take place when somebody violates those laws. Sending that message of seriousness is something that I think we all have to do.
Now, the last point I would make is that the law is a powerful thing but the law doesn't always change what's in people's hearts. And so all of us have an obligation to think about how we're treating other people. And what we may think is funny or cute may end up being powerfully hurtful. And I've got two daughters, 12 and nine, and Michelle and I spend a lot of time talking to them about putting themselves in other people's shoes and seeing through other people's eyes. And if somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.
And so I think there's also a values component to this that all of us have to be in a serious conversation about. Because ultimately peer pressure can lead people to bully, but peer pressure can also say bullying is not acceptable.
Another question, via Twitter, asked "Dear President Obama, do you think being gay or trans is a choice?"
Obama answered:
"I am not obviously — I don't profess to be an expert. This is a layperson's opinion. But I don't think it's a choice. I think people are born with a certain makeup, and we're all children of God. We don't make determinations about who we love. And that's why I think that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is wrong."
White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett apologized earlier today for language she used in a Washington Post interview which referred to being gay as a "lifestyle choice".
A third LGBT-related question dealt with "Don't Ask, Don't Tell:"
Q I voted for you in the last elections based on your alleged commitment to equality for all Americans, gay and straight, and I wanted to know where you stood on "don't ask, don't tell." I know that you've mentioned that you want the Senate to repeal it before you do it yourself. My question is you as the President can sort of have an executive order that ends it once and for all, as Harry — as Truman did for the integration of the military in '48. So I wonder why don't you do that if this is a policy that you're committed to ending.
THE PRESIDENT: First of all, I haven't "mentioned" that I'm against "don't ask, don't ask" — I have said very clearly, including in a State of the Union address, that I'm against "don't ask, don't tell" and that we're going to end this policy. That's point number one.
Point number two, the difference between my position right now and Harry Truman's was that Congress explicitly passed a law that took away the power of the executive branch to end this policy unilaterally. So this is not a situation in which with a stroke of a pen I can simply end the policy.
Now, having said that, what I have been able to do is for the first time get the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mike Mullen, to say he thinks the policy should end. The Secretary of Defense has said he recognizes that the policy needs to change. And we, I believe, have enough votes in the Senate to go ahead and remove this constraint on me, as the House has already done, so that I can go ahead and end it.
Now, we recently had a Supreme Court — a district court case that said, "don't ask, don't tell" is unconstitutional. I agree with the basic principle that anybody who wants to serve in our armed forces and make sacrifices on our behalf, on behalf of our national security, anybody should be able to serve. And they shouldn't have to lie about who they are in order to serve.
And so we are moving in the direction of ending this policy. It has to be done in a way that is orderly, because we are involved in a war right now. But this is not a question of whether the policy will end. This policy will end and it will end on my watch. But I do have an obligation to make sure that I am following some of the rules. I can't simply ignore laws that are out there. I've got to work to make sure that they are changed.
Video on DADT question, AFTER THE JUMP…
Watch: Gay Kansas Candidate Dan Manning Discusses Death Threat
Earlier this week, I posted about the death threats posted to the front door of gay Kansas House candidate and Army veteran Dan Manning's home. Manning spoke with local station NBC2 about the threats:
"It was very scary. I wondered if there was still someone waiting at the house, someone who was waiting for me to come home. I checked the doors, checked the locks and called the police right away. It clearly has to do with my campaign and my sexual orientation. I was hoping I wouldn't have to talk about this during this campaign, because it really is a distraction from what's important."
Manning's opponent, incumbent Brenda Landwehr, has been using Manning's sexual orientation to stir up her constituents.

I currently have a 5'6'' dumpster diver and love it, however it isn't as good as its been hyped up to be in crummy knee-high to waist high surf. Unfortionately this is mostly what we get up in newengland. I've been eyeing the neck beard closely mostly because its wide up front, a bit thicker (i beleve) and my favorite; its a quad. the DD is great in chest high + but I'm interested in what you guys think.

Dumster Diver or Neckbeard ***the big debate***
I have both and I agree with what your saying... The dd is not the best groveler, the neck beard is much more versatile, and having the quad option is pretty cool. My only regret is I didn't get the neckbeard a little shorter (got a 5'11 and I should have probably gotten a 5'8), but hell, that just means it floats even better when the waves are cabbage.

i love my biscuit and ride it from knee high to head high with no problems. easy speed, floats like a long board and still turns like a shortboard.
you should try the MYSTO or the FU it will blow the both of those boards out of the water 1-3 ft surf

Back to the topic at hand:
I have a 5'6 dumpster diver, I like it a lot, I don't love it. It catches waves effortlessly, It's not bad even when theres some size (biggest I rode it has probably been shoulder high then I usually move to my standard shortboard), It seems a little slow to get moving, but once I get it moving I fly (I am no dane reynolds obviously since i struggle to get speed off the takeoff). It holds its line surprisingly well, especially I've noticed on a backside bottom turn (I can do much more quicker and vertical backside bottom turns on it than on my performance board), and i have found much more success on it releasing fins and getting a air revo motion down (have yet to land one, yet). I do wish I got a 5'5 cuz theres lost of hidden volume that you don't notice when your holding it.
I wouldn't even consider to get a neck beard - seems like a marketing ploy by Channel islands to see how many people will buy what ever dane is riding. I got the DD because I really liked the shape. the neck beard from what little experiences I've had holding it is a bit thinner (less volume) throughout, straighter rails, and of course that uber-wide abrupt cut off tail. The tail will make you have less drawn out turns and seems harder to bottom turn (thats what I personally think).
For me, I have to hold a board, and I usually get a vision in my head what I think It will ride like, and thats how I know if it will be special or if ill like it.
I'd suggest for you, since I'm assuming you dig CI Surfboards, the motorboat for sure. Its kinda perfect for what you described and it has some high performance elements for sure like sharper turns and what not. It will cruise as well and fly through the dead spots of a wave us east coasters see on pretty much every wave. I'm typing so much because I'm studying for finals and trying to find anything to get my mind off of it. Aloha.
"that board just looks awful for him for the wave hes on. It may be a good groveler but here you can clearly see the lack of drive, the too pinched in back rail which led to him almost catching rail for the bottom turn into the barrel, it looks mighty slow and seems too small for him (you can almost see him sinking it), anyone that is average could pull into that awesome looking wave on some sort of thruster. and why would you show a video of a board for '1-3'ft waves where a dude is getting barreled at gas chambers on a 3ft HAWAIIAN scale wave? Woah, that seemed harsh, i mean in in the least harsh way, if thats possible"
Wow " GNARACTUALLY" i did not know that you are on the TOUR with your speed surfing and Air REVERSEs. i am just an AVERAGE KOOK, but the board works insane in 1-2 ft surf, as well in a 3 ft wave. I also shape the RANDAZZO INDUSTRIES surfboards www.randazzoindustries.com , Chop Suey Wii & Pork Frog you shoud check them out out 7th Street, or KONA in NJ. but deal is none of the these boards are made for small surf , they are made for in the pocket surfing,
here is Chris Kelly & Sean Santiago on their Randazzo's Chris is on Chop Suey Wii & Sean is on Pork Frog
Dumpster Diver firsthand experience
I am going to add to the confusion by saying that the DD is currently my favorite east coast board! Here's are a couple of items:
1. The DD is not really a groveler. It is a blast in waist high and I have ridden it up to 1 ft overhead and like it in both. I do not like it in knee-high, but then there aren't many boards that make knee high very fun.
2) However, the DD will catch ANY WAVE you paddle for. I like that it has good float without having the horrendously bulky rails that you find on many CI models.
3) As a former competitive surfer, I think the DD is geared more towards vertical surfing than either the Neck Beard (I agree with the marketing gimmick statement) or the motorboat. If you're an advanced surfer that likes to go top-to-bottom, the DD is your call. If you're intermediate or lower, then the others might be more forgiving.
4) Finally, FINS!!! I was riding my DD with the standard Merrick template fins and decided to invest in something radically different. I bought the Nexus-H3 (FCS) and HOLY *crap* did it enhance the drive of the board. And don't think you have to drop $100 on fins. Just pull out your power sander and sand the rake (evenly!) off of them until they are giving you the snappiness you're looking for.
If you decide to pick up a DD, go a solid 2 in shorter than your normal board.
The PhiloSurfer
Dec 12, 2011, 08:30 PM #10
Westsurfboards - i apologize, that post was super late night and i've been studying for hours. I'm sure the board is killer, and I've seen guys on the Randazzo boards.
I also agree with what PhiloSurfer said, I am roughly 5'8.5, around 155 (college+beer=stockier me). My standard shortboard is 5'10 x 18 x 2 and my DD is 5'6. could have gone 5'5.

Anemia Symptoms
Anemia is a medical condition in which the red blood cell count or hemoglobin is less than normal. Symtoms of anemia include
- Fatigue
- Feeling of unwellness
- Heart palpitations
- Hair loss
- Shortness of breath
Anemia is a medical condition in which the red blood cell count or hemoglobin is less than normal. Symtoms of anemia include
Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.
Hemoglobin is made up of four protein molecules (globulin chains) that are connected together. The normal adult hemoglobin (abbreviated Hgb or Hb) molecule contains two alpha-globulin chains and two beta-globulin chains. In fetuses and infants, beta chains are not common and the hemoglobin molecule is made up of two alpha chains and two gamma chains. As the infant grows, the gamma chains are gradually replaced by beta chains, forming the adult hemoglobin structure.
Each globulin chain contains an important iron-containing porphyrin compound termed heme. Embedded within the heme compound is an iron atom that is vital in transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in our blood. The iron contained in hemoglobin is also responsible for the red color of blood.
Hemoglobin also plays an important role in maintaining the shape of the red blood cells. In their natural shape, red blood cells are round with narrow centers resembling a donut without a hole in the middle. Abnormal hemoglobin structure can, therefore, disrupt the shape of red blood cells and impede their function and flow through blood vessels.

Anemia is the condition of having less than the normal number of red blood cells or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. The oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is, therefore, decreased. There are several types of anemia such as iron deficiency anemia (the most common type), sickle cell anemia, vitamin B12 anemia, pernicious anemia, and aplastic anemia. Symptoms of anemia may include
Treatment for anemia includes treating the underlying cause for the condition. Iron supplements, vitamin B12 injections, and certain medications may also be necessary.
Hemoglobin A1c or HbA1c is a protein on the surface of red blood cells. The HbA1c test is used to monitor blood sugar levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes over time. Normal HbA1c levels are 6% or less. HbA1c levels can be affected by insulin use, fasting, glucose intake (oral or IV), or a combination of these and other factors. High hemoglobin A1c levels in the blood increases the risk of microvascular complications, for example:

The typical commercial opportunity of extracting grape seed constituents has been for chemicals known as polyphenols having antioxidant activity in vitro.
Grape seed extract consists of some of the most powerful antioxidants known. These compounds are known as proanthocyanidins (OPC's). Grape seed extract helps support cholesterol levels already within a normal range and the blood vessels. OPC's are powerful antioxidants that can help reduce free radical damage. Grape seed extract helps mop up free radicals that may cause damage to healthy tissue. OPC's can help regenerate oxidized vitamin C and vitamin E providing an extended antioxidant value to these molecules.

Last week, reports surfaced that the person Manti Te'o spoke with on the phone for all those months was Ronaiah Tuiasosopo's cousin, Tino Tuiasosopo. Now, though, Ronaiah has confessed to Dr. Phil McGraw [1] in an interview that will air Thursday that he himself was the one on the phone with Te'o, pretending to be Lennay Kekua.
"There were many times when Manti and Lennay have broken up," Tuiasosopo said, "but something would bring them back together, whether it was something going on in his life or Lennay's life or in this case my life."
Tuiasosopo also told McGraw that, for him, the relationship became a romantic one, and that Te'o had no idea it was him on the other end of the phone.
"Here we have a young man that fell deeply, romantically in love," McGraw told NBC. "I asked him straight up, 'Was this a romantic relationship with you?' And he says yes. I said, 'Are you then therefore gay?' And he said, 'When you put it that way, yes.' And then he caught himself and said, 'I am confused.' "
Many who think Te'o was in on the hoax have theorized that he did it to cover up being gay himself. When Katie Couric asked him if he was in their interview last week, though, he denied it.
"No, far from it," he said, then repeated it with emphasis. "Far from it."

ABC News tries its hand at sensationalism with a story on the VT killer buying "ammo" on the auction site Ebay, but muffs it badly getting all the relevant facts wrong. But it sure is a good headline... Ammo from eBay? VT Killer May Have Used Site
April 21, 2007 — ABCNews has learned that in the months before his shooting spree at Virginia Tech, Seung-Hui Cho may have purchased 20 rounds of ammunition through the online auction site eBay.
An eBay account holder who appears to be Cho purchased a two-pack of 10-round ammunition clips for a Walther P22 on March 22, 2007, less than a month before Cho killed 32 people and himself at Virginia Tech. The ammunition was purchased on eBay from Elk Ridge Shooting Supplies for the same type of weapon used by Cho in his bloody rampage last week.
Problem is, Ebay doesn't sell ammunition... it doesn't even sell guns. What the VT killer bought were clips (magazines), not "ammo"-- if it was even him .
Will ABC News correct itself? Will ABC News admit it was not only misinformed on an easily checked issue, but acted with tabloid journalism to boot?

I thought we might get a mention under "Top Draft Newcomer", but the Jets new GM won that one...not exactly sure how...but whatever, Walter was pretty positive about our draft. His overall draft grade for us wasn't spectacular, but because we didn't address the secondary or WR not really because we made any bad picks. Which is to be expected from outsiders.

Published: November 17, 2009 at 8:43 AMVery good report. I especially like her views on how to save money. The one thing I could also see is if you like eating out and really can't pull you away from it, many places have meal deals or specials during the week. For example, one of my favorite places, Buffalo Wild Wings, has reduced priced wings on Tuesdays and free Children's meals on Wednesdays. While its better to just cut the whole thing out, resturants are feeling the bad economy too and are willing to give you great deals as well.
As an idea for future recommendations, maybe we should create a "Bang for your Buck" list at the various parks. In other words, what places to eat and things to do worth it without spending too much money.
Published: November 17, 2009 at 10:10 AMGreat idea. I think that the tips page is a good place for those snippets of advice, if anyone has some that they'd like to submit for their favorite parks.
Published: November 17, 2009 at 12:22 PMHey, we live in a world with widely available, affordable sunblock, yet millions of Britons fry to a crispy crimson each year in Florida theme parks - theme parks where the most popular question is "what time us the 3 o'clock parade?"
In other words, I never assume that folks know what they need - or if they do, that they will act on it. Many do, but some don't. :-)
Published: November 17, 2009 at 11:35 AMFor my last trip and because I was writing a report on the Boardwalk, I went to Disneyparks.com to see what was really there in regards to information. I must say that I have never seen so much information on WDW going so far as repeating themselves two maybe three times. I even called in and personalized my call by making me answer questions about when was the last time I was there, how many times I have been there, etc.
And yet we still see the families who have not idea how fastpass work or when the 3pm parade starts.

Contact: Mick Cope, (360) 902-2691
OLYMPIA – With the number of wild turkey and turkey hunters in Washington state both on the rise, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is seeking public comment on a plan to manage bird populations for recreational opportunities in the future.
The department has published a comprehensive draft wild turkey management plan that is now available for public review and comment. The draft plan, at http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/turkey/ on the Internet, outlines potential actions for managing wild turkey populations across the state.
The draft plan is also available at WDFW's headquarters in Olympia. To obtain a printed copy of the report, telephone (360) 902-2515; or send an E-mail request that includes the recipient's mailing address to email@example.com.
Comments on the plan will be accepted through May 11, and can be sent via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or through U.S. mail addressed to Upland Game Section Manager, Washington Dept of Fish and Wildlife, 600 Capitol Way N, Olympia WA 98501-1091.
Proposed management actions in the draft plan include:
Washington has three turkey subspecies, all of which are non-native and have been introduced within the past 45 years to provide recreational opportunities. Eastern turkeys can be found in southwestern Washington; Merriam's turkeys live along the eastern slope of the Cascade Range and in northeastern Washington; and Rio Grande turkeys are found primarily in the southeastern corner of the state.
The number of turkey hunters in Washington has increased from 689 in 1984 to more than 15,000 in 2004. Wild turkeys are also popular with bird watchers and wildlife photographers.
The number of turkeys taken by hunters has also increased dramatically. Fewer than 500 birds were taken annually through the early 1990s; nearly 4,500 turkeys were harvested in Washington in 2003.
At the conclusion of the public comment period, WDFW will begin development of a final draft wild turkey management plan through the State Environmental Policy Act process, which includes opportunities for additional public comment.

Unmarried couples in NSW - including same-sex couples - will now be able to register their relationships to ensure they receive the same legal entitlements as married couples.
The state government announced on Tuesday it will introduce legislation for a relationships register.
The register will make it easier for committed unmarried couples to access legal entitlements and prove they are in committed or de facto relationships.
It will be modelled on ones already in place in the ACT, Victoria and Tasmania, Attorney General
"Under current laws, it can be very difficult for couples who are in de facto or committed relationships to prove their relationship for the purpose of accessing government services, entitlements or records," he said in a statement.
The register, which was endorsed by the state cabinet earlier this week, will help remove discrimination not only against unmarried heterosexual couples but also those in same-sex relationships.
Couple who register will be given a document that helps them prove their relationship.
"(They) will be spared the frustration of constantly having to supply agencies with copious amounts of paperwork," Mr Hatzistergos said.
The register, which will be run by the NSW Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages will not provide civil unions but registered relationships will be considered on par with de facto relationships under NSW law.
To be eligible to register a relationship on the Relationships Register, couples must:
- be in a committed, exclusive relationship.
- not be married or in another relationship that is registered or registerable.
- be 18 years of age or older; and one person must be a resident of NSW.

Nest Learning Thermostat: Thinking Differently About Heating and Cooling
When you read any of the hundreds of Nest reviews, the first thing that immediately makes the Nest Learning Thermostat stand out is its design. We've grown accustomed to thermostats as beige boxes with a temperature readout and not much else. The Nest Learning Thermostat bears almost no physical resemblance to these devices.
Nest's version is a stainless steel ring with an LED display in the center– the 2.0 version of the Nest Learning Thermostat is 20% thinner than the first.
And while the appearance is what first draws attention, as pointed out in Nest reviews, it's the "learning" part of the Nest Learning Thermostat that hooks users and scores the most points. The device connects to your Wi-Fi network and is equipped with sensors and the smarts to figure out your patterns of heating and cooling use — which it then automates.
Any Nest thermostat review also points out that the device learns specifics about your home, such as how long it takes to reach a certain temperature. Motion detection not only brings the backlit display to life, but Nest uses it to adjust the temperature based on whether it decides someone is home or not.
You can also manually adjust the Nest like any other thermostat, or adjust it remotely using a smartphone app. But there's no programming required, upping the appeal for those who are less than tech savvy.

After the semester at Northwestern Oklahoma State University ends in May, Anjeela Shrestha, a Nepalese junior, will begin research on "Mimicry in allopatry: The long-nosed snake as a coral snake mimic," with help from a $2,272 grant from the Oklahoma Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCOR).
Shrestha will team up with Dr. Aaron Place, associate professor of biology, to conduct a research project with the objective to determine if the coral snake-like pattern of the long-nosed snake prevents predation by birds that may experience coral snakes in other portions of their yearly range.
To test the hypothesis, Shrestha will create clay models that look like long-nosed snakes and brown snakes. Mimicry occurs when a palatable organism prevents predation by looking like a dangerous or unpalatable species. This experiment will determine if mimicry provides protection to the long-nosed snake.
The biology major has taken Place's animal mimicry class and said she has always wanted to explore the topic more because she finds it very interesting. She approached Place about working on a research project, and by combining their interests they came up with this idea and applied for the grant.
"This is my first research project as an undergrad, so obviously I will get to experience various aspects of research like the process (how is it done, written), how to cope with problems that might come up during the process and so on," Shrestha said.
"Secondly, I will have better knowledge about the topic, and along with knowledge and experience I will have more confidence to help me in my future researches."
Long-nose snakes are non-venomous, typically harmless snakes that exhibit a body color pattern strikingly similar to the western coral snake. These snakes live in the desert southwest of the United States.
Shrestha and Place hypothesize that if avian predators avoid coral snake patterns, that the long-nosed snake models will have fewer talon and beak impressions than the solid brown control models.
"When birds or mammals attack the clay models their beak, talon and tooth marks are left behind as a record for Angeela to determine what animal attacked which models," Place said.
"If our hypothesis is supported we will see more avian attacks on the brown models than the long-nose snake models."
If the long-nose snake models are depredated on less than the brown control snakes a second series of experiments will be undertaken to rule out decreased predation due to disruptive coloration. The same models will be placed on white paper background and on a natural background. If the birds are truly avoiding the color pattern, models on the white background will not be attacked.
Fifty replicas of each type of snake will be used and checked on every four days. After recording data, the models will be moved to another location.
Shrestha was involved in writing portions of this grant proposal and read several key papers in order to make valuable suggestions in designing the experimental protocol. She will deploy the models and collect the data on the depredated models. Following data collection, she will assist with the data analysis and manuscript preparation.
"The skills she will learn while undertaking this project that includes designing the experiment, collecting data in the field and writing, will be invaluable in her future career," Place said.
Place thinks that Shrestha's experience is far better since she has participated in the project from inception to publication.
Place said Shrestha is the first one at the university to get the Research Experience for Undergrad grant to complete the research.
"I would encourage other students to apply for the grant so that we would have more research opportunities within the university," Shrestha said.
"I think research opportunities help our university stand out."
Upon graduation, Shrestha intends to pursue a career related to wildlife conservation and management.

MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

NetFlow for Digital Forensic Audit Trails
As discussed in a recent webinar delivered by Lancope's Director of Security Research, Tom Cross, Carnegie-Mellon's CERT team published a book last year called The CERT Guide to Insider Threats. With over ten years of collecting and studying insider threat cases, this guide has some very good recommendations on how to build an effective program.
One of the key pieces from the CERT Guide is that insider threats are not strictly an IT problem. Many people consider insider threats to be exclusively an IT issue, but in reality it is an issue for everyone from IT to management to HR. It has to do with the relationship that the company has with employees and especially with those employees who have become disgruntled.
Often times, the way that an incident is detected is through human intervention; it's not because some computer system identified something wrong. For example, individuals identify that an employee was making threats against the organization, and it seemed like the person was likely to do something wrong. That information is taken to IT, and IT is able to analyze monitoring systems and logs that were available – whether via NetFlow, Syslog, packet capture, etc. – to find evidence of whether or not the suspicions were true. Typically, in insider threat cases, if they are successfully identified and prosecuted, it's a consequence of good log collection.
Within Lancope's StealthWatch System, if you are tied into your user identity information, it's very easy to put someone's username into the system and get information about what network transactions they've engaged in, even if they moved around to different IP addresses. Whether they were in the office or logged in over the VPN, or moving around to different wireless access points, you can get a complete picture of their behavior.
In addition to simply getting the raw network transactions they engaged in, you can also see a picture of different security events that fired against that host.
In this scenario, we have the 'suspect data loss' security event, which detects data being exfiltrated out of the network. We notice that an event fired while Lucy was using the IP address in question, so maybe Lucy was exfiltrating data. In this case, we can see this transaction has occurred, so we've got some evidence that Lucy might have moved a lot of data out of the network.
Let's look at a little more complicated scenario. In the course of looking at Lucy, we also noticed that Beron had a 'suspect data loss' event that fired on his IP address, and so we're concerned that he might have exfiltrated data as well.
We take a look at Beron's exfiltration, and we can see that it was a significantly large MySQL database dump which occurred at 9:07 a.m. and was sent out to a host in the Ukraine.
We continue to investigate, and first we are wondering: 'where did Beron get this MySQL dump'? Beron is not a person who usually works with database systems. We look at the different network transactions associated with this IP address, and notice there was a significant download from a particular database server on our network that occurred by this host. Clearly Beron dumped some data out of one of our critical databases and then exfiltrated it to a host in Ukraine.
Right now we're very upset with Beron. As we continue to dig, we notice this database transaction timeframe occurred between 8:55 a.m. and 9:07 a.m. 9:07 a.m. is when the exfiltration to the Ukraine actually began, so we have more context that this database dump occurred right before the exfiltration.
We dig into Beron a little deeper and find out, in fact, there has been another transaction between Beron's client and this host in the Ukraine that has been going on since 4:00 a.m. This looks an awful lot like a command-and-control channel, so it may be that Beron is not actually responsible for stealing this data and that Beron's computer has been infected by an external actor. As a consequence, that external actor used Beron's system to steal some data from our database and send it to the Internet.
It's important that we found this and have begun to investigate deeper to try and understand more about this attacker and why they're compromising our network.
You always want to keep in mind the 5 W's (Who, What, Where, When and Why) as you perform these investigations on the network. You're trying to establish who did this activity, what they did, what systems were affected, how they targeted those systems, and what data they accessed. Every bit of information that you put together about their overall behavior can lead you to the root cause of the problem. You want to ensure that you have completely rooted them out of your network, and that you understand how you might be able to detect attack activity from them in the future. If you know what your adversary is after, you can take steps to protect that asset more effectively and to monitor that asset more closely.
Forensics in the context of computer security is not merely about preparing evidence for trial. We may never be able to prosecute these APT actors that are hitting our network from remote sites. It's become more about understanding the attacks that we're subject to and using that understanding to better protect our networks. It's not just about analyzing hard drives. It's about getting a complete picture of an incident that has affected us.

This tonneau cover is a nice design and very aerodynamic with a low profile on the truck. I did a long research before choosing the Switchblade style. Price was matched by Auto Anything to Amazon, a PLUS! As for functionality, it does the job and looks great. Because of the roll up material and style, there is the wind factor flexing the cover while driving at a higher speed. It is not 100% water leaks/proof if it rains or car washes. No big deal with me because I have a Bedrug underneath.

Styrofoam Sculptures at Embarcadero Center

Styrofoam Sculptures at Embarcadero Center
(August 27, 2007)
Unique pieces question use of quarried stone, tossing of unused construction sealants
Sculptor Ellen Babcock shapes large pieces of Styrofoam then applies layers of discarded construction sealants to create sculptures that closely resemble chunks of marble and agate.
Babcock's sculptures are featured in a street-level display at One Embarcadero Center in San Francisco's Financial District. She made the unusual pieces while working with garbage in the Artist In Residence Program at the Solid Waste Transfer Station and Recycling Center, also known as "the dump," in San Francisco.
The program aims to engage people to think about their own garbage and the importance of recycling and resource conservation. Artists selected to participate receive access to waste materials and a studio workspace at the dump, which is located west of Highway 101 near Monster Park.
Babcock's sculptures comment on the scaring rock quarries leave on the earth, the resources expended to mine and ship marble, quartz and other minerals great distances, and the use and discarding of toxic materials in construction.
In searching for materials to make faux rocks for her sculptures Babcock found numerous tubes of unused epoxy, urethane, silicone and acrylic caulking, and other construction sealants recycling workers pulled out of garbage.
Silicone, urethane, epoxy and other sealants are often thrown out by people undertaking small construction jobs, remodeling and home repairs. But construction sealants and adhesives are hazardous waste and do not belong in garbage and recycling carts or the landfill. San Francisco residents and businesses should go to www.SFHazWaste.com for information on how to properly dispose of such items.
Babcock worked all but one day of her 120-day residence at the dump and found the amount and variety of waste eye opening. "I am more aware than ever that what we choose to use and throw away has impact on the earth."
Babcock hopes her sculptures encourage people to consider reusing materials when planning decorative or landscaping projects. She believes Styrofoam and sealants should be kept out landfills. The sculptures will be displayed at One Embarcadero Center in San Francisco's Financial District through Sept. 30.
The art from garbage program is sponsored by SF Recycling & Disposal, Inc., sister to Sunset Scavenger Company. Both are 100 percent employee owned.
A dynamic city like San Francisco requires the efficient use of clean, renewable energy to meet the needs of today and future generations. Our innovative policies and programs help San Franciscans use energy wisely, while saving money and reducing environmental impacts.
SF Environment aims to reduce travel-created carbon by getting people out of cars and instead traveling by walking, biking or public transit. We also are greening the City fleet of vehicles and encourage the public to reduce their impact by supporting cleaner fuels and vehicles.

NZ dollar gains vs. Australian dollar after debt rating warning, RBA minutes
May 20 (BusinessDesk) – The New Zealand dollar gained against its Australian counterpart after Standard & Poor's warned that country could lose its AAA debt rating unless the A$49.9 billion budget deficit is reined in and after its central bank signalled interest rates would remain low.
The New Zealand dollar rose to 92.64 Australian cents from 92.42 cents at 8am and from 92.28 cents late yesterday. The kiwi was little changed from the start of the day at 86.13 US cents and down from 86.34 cents yesterday.
Minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia's May 6 meeting showed the central bank deemed current low interest rates, with its benchmark cash rate at 2.5 percent, "was likely to be appropriate for some time yet." The minutes were released after a sovereign analyst at S&P was quoted in Australian media saying that nation's top credit rating could be reviewed unless the Abbott government made good on its proposed spending cuts, which are opposed by opposition parties.
"Australian dollar weakness might be attributable to S&P's warning shot last night that if they do not sort out the budget deficit they might lose their AAA rating," said Mark Johnson, a senior client adviser at OMF. "That's keeping pressure on that currency."
The kiwi traded at 62.80 euro cents, little changed from the start of the day and down from 63 cents yesterday.
Johnson said markets widely expect the European Central Bank to deliver a package of policy options at its June 5 meeting that would include interest rate cuts and possibly negative deposit rates and give investors less reason to hold the euro.
"Euro weakness would translate into US dollar strength and add to pressure on currencies like the Aussie and the kiwi," he said.
The kiwi traded at 87.49 yen from 87.42 yen at 8am in Wellington and down from 87.60 yen yesterday. It was little changed at 51.25 British pence. The trade weighted index was little changed at 80.20.

Gordon, Thanks for the very interesting report. However, I fear it will have the opposite effect on your readers than you intended. Let me highlight some examples: Gordon Cook wrote: > (1.)

This will just make people ask questions. What did it say til now? What objectionable features are being left in place? Why don't the members elect the advisory council from the beginning?

For many readers, this statement probably confirms the allegation that Telage, alone, is making the basic decisions rather than seeking rough concensuson on how the Internet community should organize itself to distribute community resources. You mention having suggested the need to report his decisions soon after they are made and post them on the website. It may have been a mistake to report that Telage did not reply to your suggestion. I am not sure why you related this if he did not agree to do it. This particular comment probably also left the recipients of your rebuttal wondering "Did Gordon ask Telage to let the community discuss the by-laws and the proposed revisions before they become final? What did Telage say about that?" Please continue to keep us informed of what you learn on all this. Eric Weisberg, Gen. Counsel Internet Texoma, Inc. The ISP which DIDN'T

Diurnal variation of PM10 concentrations and its spatial distribution in the South East Queensland airshed
Morawska, Lidia, Vishvakarman, Devasenapathy, & Swanson, Cheryl E. (2007) Diurnal variation of PM10 concentrations and its spatial distribution in the South East Queensland airshed. Clean Air and Environmental Quality, 41(4), pp. 19-25.
|PDF (207kB)
The aim of this work was quantification of the diurnal variation of PM10 concentrations and the variation in its spatial distribution in the South East Queensland (SEQ) airshed with a specific focus on vehicle emissions as a contributing factor. The PM10 levels recorded at half-hourly intervals at six monitoring stations over a four-year period were used. Levels below 30 g m-3 recorded at wind speeds less than 2.5 ms-1 and during times of clear visibility were selected for the analysis to lower the probability of interference from non-vehicular sources. The levels recorded between 2:00 and 5:00 am were considered to be the urban baseline and subtracted from the daytime readings to obtain a mean difference in concentration between daytime and night time. For a four-year period this mean difference in PM10 levels estimated for all the monitoring stations varied in the range between 3.8 and 6.9 g m-3. In addition to the diurnal variation in the depth of the boundary layer (which was not quantified), vehicle emissions were concluded to be the major contributor to this variation. The method used in this study for quantification of the diurnal variation and spatial distribution of PM10 provides useful information on the influence of motor vehicle emissions on air quality, particularly in relation to human exposure. It provides information not directly available using source emission inventories, which yield data on the total emissions to the air, and cannot be directly translated into concentrations in the different areas of the airshed.

Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.

2006 BMW 530i Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2006 BMW 530i based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
A creak or squeak can be heard from the top of the front or rear doors. This noise is most notable when the windows are fully up. The noise is caused by the decay of the flocking material on the door seals. New door seals, Teflon tape, special lube, or a combination of all of these may be needed to eliminate the noise.
The thermostat may fail resulting in engine overheating and/or illumination of the Check Engine Light. Replacement of the thermostat along with a complete inspection of the cooling system will be necessary to correct this concern.
Overheating can cause severe engine damage. If the engine begins to overheat it is recommended to stop at the first available location and have your vehicle towed to a repair shop.
Valve cover gasket leaks are common after 60,000 miles. Symptoms will include oil drips under the vehicle and burning oil smell from the engine compartment.
A fluid leak may develop from one or more power steering hose. When a leak is being repaired, it is not uncommon for multiple hoses to be replaced.
It is not uncommon for the radiator to develop a coolant leak. A leaking radiator will require replacement. When a leaking radiator is replaced the entire cooling system should be inspected and if any additional leaks are found they should be repaired also.
Overheating can cause severe engine damage. If the engine begins to overheat it is recommended to stop at the first available location and have your vehicle towed to a repair shop.
If the brakes are squealing, there's a good chance it is the brake pad wear sensor. A new design was implemented in January 2006 and can be identified by its green color.
