I don't think there is a single clear answer here.
Sometimes you can wait for a bit more opportune moments, other teams simply going on a fast enough offensive with constant high damage pressure can force the other team to stick to defense.
Obviously you need to find some opportune moments, but I don't agree that you can always 'take your time' doing so.

Tone-Arm Outrigger Damping Devices
One of the problems in phonograph systems is the low-frequency resonance governed by the tone-arm effective mass and the stylus compliance. The procedure normally suggested to control this resonance is to reduce the system effective mass and to add pivot damping. Recently, adding an outrigger damping device near the stylus has been proposed as an alternastive to pivot damping. The effects of an outrigger having both an effective means of controlling the low-frequency resonance. A set of equations for the design of an optimal outrigger is also derived, which allows the independent adjustment of the system resonance frequency and quality factor.

Reviews by gueuzegeek:gueuzegeekNew Jersey 3.83/5 rDev +10.1% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 Okay, this is a good "starter IPA" for those who are not really big hop heads. It was a dark gold color brew, with not much head. It got a bit better as it warmed up, and definitely would benefit from being on cask. The floral aroma came out after waiting for it to warm up a bit. It was very pleasant, but a bit thin in body. There was not very much bitterness in it from the hops. I am a hop head in general, but try to be as objective as possible. If you need your hops to be extreme, then do not drink this with that expectation, however, if you just want a nice gently hopped ale, give it a try.

Reduced to a small cap that left behind spotty lacing. S-Faint sweet malts and a hint of light citrus hops. T-Nice livley citrus flavours of grapefruit and lemon dances on the palate. Much better in the flavour profle than in the aroma. Nice sweet malty backbone supports well. M-Medium body with a good finsihing crispness and lingering hop bitterness. hich worked well with the citrus. D-Solid...nothing crazy, but a well done, tasty, crsip American IPA. Not a super geeked out hop head beer but certainly something that can be enjoyed in multiple pints.

Decently hoppy, probably mixing American and English hops since I'm getting both fruity citrics as well as an earthier quality. Good amount of caramel malt present, keeping things just chewy enough. I take back the English hops conjecture, and I'm going with either hard water or an English ale yeast to explain the British quality. Lots of citrics, but not too bitter at all (some might say not enough..) Middle of the road mouthfeel seems about right for a middle of the road American pale ale....I mean, IPA. You'll have to forgive the confusion, since IPA has been co-opted so forcefully by American craft brewers. This would put a "bitter beer face" on a few British pub-goers, but barely registers on a seasoned American beer advocate. Either way, it's definitely my pick at RR and wonderfully complements free pool on Monday nights.

I noted very good clarity in this light-copper colored ale. It was clear, but not Nebraska clear. The nose was lightly hoppy and the mouthfeel was medium. I experienced a good hop explosiveness on the palate with the finish smoothing out from a nice malt balance at the end.

Surprisingly very good. Reminds me a lot of Goose Island Honker's Ale. Pours to a nice golden amber color, leaning more towards the amber side of the spectrum. Huge head and equally impressive retention. Good carbonation to back it up. The smell is good. Nice mild hops aroma. Seems like a mix of fruity American hops and British hops. A light caramel malty background behind the hops. The taste is good. The hops hit up front along with the caramel malt. I don't know about an IPA, but this is damn good. More like a hoppy pale or a strong bitter. The body is very creamy. Really helps to accentuate the hops flavors without bringing too much of a bitterness. I could and did drink the shit out of this all night. Serving type: on-tap 08-07-2006 03:57:11 | More by MABZ BuckeyeNationIowa 3.7/5 rDev +6.3% look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 Medium orange-amber with a small, cream-colored head that was a thick film upon arrival and soon disappeared altogether. Minimal lace. The nose was very nearly AWOL. Even though it was pathetically weak, I did pick up a muted citric hoppiness that was rather nice. Bandit was a pretty good brew, all things considered. The flavor was much stronger than the nose and an enjoyable flavor it was. Hard to go wrong with Cascade and Centennial. The grapefruits and lemons hoppiness was paramount and there was enough malt to pull it all together. I also picked up an appley flavor which worked well with the citrus. The degree of bittering was barely sufficient for hopheads while being friendly enough so that casual drinkers should have nothing to fear. The bitterness seemed to increase throughout each mouthful and throughout the course of the pint (that is, with warming). The body was just a shade lighter than medium with a barely noticeable level of carbonation. Bandit is a solid, drinkable IPA that, if the truth were known, is closer to the APA style than the stated one. It fell well short of great, but good was plenty good enough for me on this day.

Like many "IPAs" I've had lately, there was not much nose here. I think brewpubs just like to stick IPA on the board sometimes. There was some nice lacing and a hint of sweetness. Overall taste had good balance of malt and hops. The finish echoed that balance. Very drinkable. This was my favorite of the 4-5 offerings I sampled. Serving type: on-tap 06-18-2004 03:39:40 | More by brewQ PCaravanTexas 2.08/5 rDev -40.2% look: 4 | smell: 2 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 2 After taking a sip, my first impression was I couldn't tast anything at all except bitter and then I noticed a faint lingering impression flavor in the aftertaste that wasn't all that great. Now IPA should be balanced toward the bitter side but there really needs to be some malt there too. Also, if your going to make a beer that is agressively bitter then it needs to have more aroma and flavor hops added later in the boil to smooth and round out that bitterness for a better experience. This might be one of the worts brewpub beers I've had.

Served too cold, the nose is really hampered. Only the hops are noticeable in the bouquet and I really had to work hard to notice them. The palate is not all that tasty, the malt is clean and light, and the hops dont bite, not much bitterness. Medium-light body, thin, little carbonation, rather clean finish. It is drinkable but nothing Id want to drink all night. Not a very adventurous IPA.

Carbonation is mild to moderate. Mouthfeel is bright, with a medium body. Aroma has minimal hop aroma, but interestingly has a modest, green and oily hop flavor.

Knock Your Socks Off – A Father's Day Cocktail
If you're looking for a Knock Your Socks Off Father's Day cocktail – look no further, you've found it! After experimenting with this drink for a couple of weeks (it's tough, I know) the result is this fab & delish "Knock Your Socks Off Father's Day cocktail." The goal: take a traditionally masculine drink and tweak it enough to be crisp and light for "summer sipping" yet keep (and maybe even make better) the original's deep flavors. Dad, hubby, your brother…whoever you want to make this for on Father's Day is going to love you for it. Forget socks, ties and grill sets, this drink is going to be your new tradition.
I'm going to suggest making it according to the measurements I've given, especially since I worked so hard on it. I'll list some variations at the end though, I know not everyone likes to follow the rules.
Knock Your Socks Off
(A "So, I've Been Thinking…" twist on the traditional manhattan)
- 1.5 parts Crown Royal
- .5 parts sweet vermouth (I'm going to suggest Carpano Antica)
- .5 parts fresh lemon juice
- .5 parts real maple syrup
- 2-4 dashes of bitters
Fill a shaker cup with ice, add all ingredients and shake well.
Strain into a chilled martini/manhattan glass or pour over fresh rocks in a short glass.
Garnish with a lemon slice.
- Rinse your cubes, in the shaker and in the glass, no one likes the flavor of a freezer wall, rinse 'em
- Add a little extra lemon if you want to cut the sweetness, serve with a lemon wedge so whoever is drinking can add more if they like, but this drink is not sweet so taste it first
- "Knock Your Socks Off" is modeled after "Bulliet Proof" from a local-ish restaurant, same ingredients except instead of the Crown Royal they used Bulliet Rye. The difference is the smoothness, Crown makes a smoother drink, Bulliet is pretty fantastic though, too
- The measurements are all mine, which is why it took weeks to perfect
- If you have a favorite rye or whiskey I'll bet you could sub it no problem
- As I've mentioned before in the St Germain & Gin cocktail recipe, you can make an individual drink or a pitcher based on the measurements (for example: a part can be a shot or a cup)
If you try it please come back and let me know if it did, in fact, Knock Your Socks Off.

Like my body, I believe in keeping my soul fit too, says Hrithik Roshan .
The feeling of being content and happy, of being in communion with one's soul - that is spirituality for me. It is reaching a higher level of consciousness and rising above the pain and suffering one experiences in life.

Pflugerville reduces property tax rate
City has had increase in sales tax
PFLUGERVILLE, Texas (KXAN0 - Pflugerville City Council approved the 2012-2013 budget on Tuesday, and implemented a one-half cent property tax reduction for the eighth consecutive year, making Pflugerville's tax rate .594 per $100 valuation.
The average home value is $152,588 and that taxpayer would see an $8 reduction (from $914 to $906) in city taxes with the new tax rate.
City officials said the budget includes $64,101,569 in expenses, $22,152,162 of which is for the General Fund. The General Fund budget includes a 25 percent general fund balance of $5,359,047 and an additional 5 percent ($1,071,809) set aside for any minor emergency that might arise.
For the first time, the city's budgeted 2012-2013 general fund revenue reflects the city receiving a majority of its income from sources other than from property tax revenue, mostly due to the increase in sales tax revenue.
"What we've done has worked, and it's a beautiful thing," Mayor Jeff Coleman said. "Once again our city has developed a budget that is mindful of council priorities while also insuring our community's needs are met."

Geography affects medicine seniors are prescribed
Published: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 2:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 2:57 p.m.
Where seniors live makes a difference not only in how much health care they receive but also the medications they're prescribed — as some miss out on key treatments while others get risky ones, new research shows.
More than 1 in 4 patients on Medicare's prescription drug plan filled at least one prescription for medications long deemed high-risk for seniors, according to the study released last Tuesday by the Dartmouth Atlas Project.
Seniors who live in Alexandria, La., were more than three times as likely as those in Rochester, Minn., to receive those potentially harmful drugs, which include muscle relaxants and anxiety relievers that can cause excessive sedation, falls and other problems in older adults.
On the flip side, far more seniors who survived a heart attack were filling prescriptions for cholesterol-lowering statin drugs in Ogden, Utah, than in Abilene, Texas — 91 percent compared to just 44 percent, the study found. That's even though statins are proven to reduce those patients' risk of another heart attack.
Even more surprising, the study found just 14 percent of seniors who've broken a bone because of osteoporosis were receiving proven medications to guard against another fracture — ranging from 7 percent of those patients in Newark, N.J., to 28 percent in Honolulu.
"There's no good reason" for that variation, said lead researcher Dr. Jeffrey Munson, an assistant professor at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.
Researchers with the Dartmouth Atlas have long shown that the type and amount of health care that people receive varies widely around the country, and that those who live where Medicare spends more don't get better quality care.
The newest report examined 2010 prescription data from the 37 million patients who get drug coverage under Medicare Part D, and found even more of a mixed picture when it comes to seniors' medications. For example, patients in the South were more likely to fill prescriptions for those riskier medications, but less likely than those in other regions to get the long-recommended treatments for heart and bone conditions.
The average Part D patient filled 49 monthlong prescriptions — either new ones or refills — in 2010.
But the study suggests doctors in some areas prescribe more readily. The highest number of prescriptions filled was in Miami — 63 — and the lowest in Grand Junction, Colo., 39. Overall, patients in regions where Medicare Part D spent more on medications weren't more likely to receive the most effective medications, the study found.
Yes, seniors who are sicker will use more medications, but the general health of a region's Medicare population explains less than a third of the variation, the researchers concluded.
Patients don't always fill their prescriptions, because of cost or fear of side effects or myriad other reasons — something this study couldn't measure. It also didn't examine differences in benefits between cheaper and more expensive Part D plans.
But if doctors were following guidelines on best medication practices, there would be far less variation around the country, Munson said.
Doctors "really need to ask themselves, 'Is there a good reason why my patients are getting less effective care than patients in the other regions,'" he said.

Boney M.
Boney M.
Although they never had much success in America, the Euro-disco group Boney M. were a European phenomenon during the '70s. After German record producer Frank Farian (born in 1942) recorded the single "Baby Do You Wanna Bump?" (which was successful in Holland and Belgium), he created Boney M. to support the song, bringing in four West Indian vocalists who had been working as session singers in Germany -- Marcia Barrett (b. October 14, 1948, St. Catherines, Jamaica), Liz Mitchell (b. July 12, 1952, Clarendon, Jamaica), Maizie Williams (b. March 25, 1951, Monserrat, West Indies), and Bobby Farrell (b. October 6, 1949, Aruba, West Indies, d. December 30, 2010, St. Petersburg, Russia). "Daddy Cool" reached the U.K. Top Ten in February 1977, followed in April by a remake of Bobby Hebb's "Sunny." In July, "Ma Baker" just missed the U.K. number one spot, and "Belfast" hit the Top Ten in December. In 1978, Boney M. were at the height of their popularity with "Rivers of Babylon"/"Brown Girl in the Ring," which became the second-biggest selling single in U.K. chart history. "Rivers of Babylon" also was Boney M.'s only U.S. Top 40 hit. Boney M.'s album, Nightflight to Venus, also topped the U.K. charts. In October 1978, "Rasputin" became another U.K. Top Ten hit, followed by the seasonal chart-topper "Mary's Boy Child"/"Oh My Lord," which became the fifth-biggest selling single in U.K. history. In March 1979, "Painter Man" hit the U.K. Top Ten, followed in May by "Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday." In September, the album Oceans of Fantasy hit number one. Their music continues to sell well in Europe, with a compilation hitting the U.K. Top Ten in 1994. Farian went on to create the late-'80s dance sensation Milli Vanilli. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Every Thursday at 3:40pm college football insider Pat Forde joins Booger and Rich to talk some college football and take you inside our local universities for the best college football coverage in Tampa Bay.
Forde said that Schiano was a pretty solid college coach at Rutgers, but that chop the wood, intense attitude doesn't work in the modern era. The days of Vince Lombardi are long gone.
The Buccaneers were not allowed to wear their throwback helmets because of a new rule that teams can't wear more than one helmet for safety reasons. College teams tend to alternate their helmets and Forde said we could see these rules trickle down to teams like Oregon that seem to change helmets on a weekly basis. Forde also said it's possible to see these strict rules on targeting players that's been instituted in the NFL also trickle down to college football as well.
The Gators take on Tennessee this weekend and their offense has been suspect so far this season. Forde said Tennessee isn't very good defensively so Florida should look better on offense. If that doesn't happen this weekend, Forde says there's major problems with a tougher schedule approaching with the Gators.

Through the darkness, passenger Stephen Ward saw a little circle of light -- the door of the train.
Rescuers came through it and helped the 18-year-old from Bountiful, Utah, get out.
He waited for hours while victims with more serious injuries were taken to the hospital. As he watched rescue crews carry the dead and wounded, he cried and sang church hymns to calm himself down.
A photo taken at the scene shows him leaning on a police officer as he walked beside the tracks, with blood oozing down his face and splattered on his crisp, white shirt.
The Mormon missionary walked past dead bodies on the ground. He told London's Daily Telegraph that it looked like a scene from hell.
U.S. citizen among those killed
When the train crashed, Ana-Maria Cordoba was on the way with her husband and their daughter to visit her son, who had been on a pilgrimage in Spain, the Catholic Diocese of Arlington told CNN.
Cordoba, who worked for the diocese, was killed, spokesman Michael Donahue said.
Her husband and daughter are hospitalized in stable condition, the diocese said.
Crash investigation
Investigators are looking at all possible causes of the crash, a senior aide to the prime minister said Wednesday.
Renfe's spokesman said he did not know how many crew members were aboard the train when it crashed. Normally, there would be at least five crew members on a train like that, he said.
Officials appealed for blood donations just after the crash but on Thursday said the short-term needs were met.
Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council, expressed condolences from the European Union.
Pope Francis, who is on a visit to Brazil for World Youth Day, sent a telegram to the bishop of Santiago de Compostela, Julian Barrio Barrio, offering his support and prayers for all those affected by the tragedy.

DIY – Washi tape drinking glass

How to create this washi tape drinking glasses
Cut small triangles from your washi tape and tape is to your drinking glass. I layered some of the triangles on the bottom of the glass. At the top I left more space between the triangles. This way it looks like the triangles washi tape are falling into your glass.

São bem baratinhos, aqui em Brasília você encontra no Taguacenter um pacote de 6 por uns 2,00. Uma pechincha! I've been wanting to experiment with printing lately so when I saw this pin for creating DIY art using canvas and a toilet paper roll, I knew I had to try it on fabric! Making the fabric was so easy and fun! Here's what you need to do to create your own! Gather supplies; fabric (I used linen but quilting cotton would work just fine too), fabric paint and an old toilet paper or paper towel roll. You'll also need something to put under your fabric so that your paint doesn't bleed onto your table. Newspaper or posterboard would work well. [...]

Philips speaker is neither silent nor deadly
If you're looking for a small, tasteful, portable iPod speaker for less than $100, you could do a lot worse than the unfortunately named Philips SBD7500. Its sound quality is middle-of-the-road, yet still sounds pleasant, and its operation is about as simple as it gets--with a power switch, volume control, and a bass boost switch.
There's nothing fancy about the specs or features--no radio, no Bluetooth, no clock, and no remote. It is iPhone-compatible, though, and there's something to be said for keeping things simple. That said, if you have an extra $50 to throw at a … Read more

They make a solution to move stubborn dried marker from the wipe boards.... it smells like straight rubbing alcohol.
Try that.
Thrifty Fun has been around so long that many of our pages have been reset several times. Archives are older versions of the page and the feedback that was provided then.
Anyone know a way to remove dry erase marker stain from carpet? Thanks. Fennyuan from NC

Father of 8 (2 years apart), cold water, all brand laundry detergent (liquid, free clear), a gentle scrubber (fingers), 1/2 doz. bath towels.

My son left a very large dry erase marker drawing on his carpet. I tried a name brand carpet cleaner and that just made it worse. I looked on the ThriftyFun website and a gentleman had suggested using Free and Clear All detergent mixed with water. It worked like magic. Thank you.

How to Beat a Cold
It's that time of year-- sniffle here, cough there, and before you know it, the common cold has caught your immune system under its nasty spell. There's a workout for that, though.
The 'when' and 'where' you choose to exercise while caught in a common-cold spell can make all the difference in the world.
If symptoms are primarily above the neck, go ahead and break a sweat by jogging, swimming, biking, or whatever else you may choose for a cardiovascular routine.
The thing to avoid, though, is weight training. From lifting weights to playing team sports [you don't want to spread those germs], it's best to stick to the solo practice away from endurance exercises until the congestion has cleared. Yoga is also a great alternative.
When your body is already under lots of stress, pushing it further isn't the best choice. Compromise with your well-being when under the weather. Choose walking or jogging over running if your energy levels are low.
Do you skip the gym when you're feeling ill?

Perfect summer color
#87 is the great teal color and perfect for summer. I don't need any shadow under to pop this gel liner, very pigmented, easy to apply and once it's dry it will stay on all day long. Cut the shield only 1/3 to keep gel liner moist for long time or use Inglot Duraline to bring a dry gel liner to life.
I have three shades of AMC Gel Liner from Inglot, but this one (87, matte teal) is my favorite. It is the perfect balance between green and blue, and it is so pretty once it is dried. It applies nicely, and you only need a tiny bit to get a good, solid line. It can smudge a little bit if you have oily skin or lids, but few gel liners can really stand up to truly oily lids. The package is clean and simple, but sometimes I feel like the plastic lid/plastic jar combo is a little flimsy--if you drop it or twist too hard, it could easily break and the product would dry out.

Germany - Senegal and back with the motorbike
Hi Everybody,
I'm planning in September 2002 a Trip thru Germany, France, Spain, Marroko, Mauretania, Senegal and back. I'll use my motorbike, a old XT600. For that trip, I've got several Problems: 1. I don't know, if my bike will stay 'alive' the whole trip. Is there somebody who has some experience with spare-parts and machanics (most things I can fix by my own) in these countries? 2. I only speak german and english; poorly there are a lot of french-speaking countries on the way, is it very hard to have no skills in french for such a trip? 3. This is my first 'interkontinental' trip with the bike, do you think, this will be to much for a beginners trip (I'm travelling alone) 4. Does anybody has experience with the border Morokko-Mauretania AND back? 5. What about the border Mauretania-Senegal and back? I think, this is enough for the moment Thx for helping and have a nice day!! Heiko [This message has been edited by Bloody (edited 28 January 2002).] [This message has been edited by Bloody (edited 28 January 2002).] |
I also have an old XT600 (1984) which made the trip from Scotland to Senegal last year. Once you get into Africa, I woudn't bet on being able to get XT600 parts. Before you go, make sure your camchain and tensioner are okay and your piston rings. If in doubt replace them! The drive through Western Sahara is very long and sometimes quite tedious. Because the road is paved, there is a temptation to thrash the bike a bit. Depending on your gearing and luggage, this has been known to kill the 5th gear on XT600's, which is a little prone to failure. As far as languages go, I just learned a tiny little bit of French - just a few phrases to say hello and to buy food/fuel and understand forms. You'd be amazed at how few French words you can get by with, but you should learn some! The crossing into Senegal at Rosso is a little bit of a hassle as there are a lot of hustlers. I think the secret is not to be in a hurry. Don't let them tell you that 'this is the last ferry of the day'!! Just be cool :-) Hope you have great fun. Andy

You should cross at "Diama" (I believe it's spelled like this). Small crossing, hardly anybody around and it's a great ride to that place (except when it's rain season).
