TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF: Will Barack Obama's call for one million electric vehicles on U.S. roads by 2015 be realized? Some predict there could be as many as 14 million on the road by 2020. Either way we should soon be seeing many more signs like this one.

Dear EarthTalk: In his recent State of the Union address, President Obama called for a million electric vehicles on American roads by 2015. How likely is it that we'll attain that goal?—Jerry Mitlitski, Salem, Ore.
"We can break our dependence on oil…and become the first country to have one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015," President Obama said in his January 2011 State of the Union address. "The future is ours to win."
It's difficult to say how likely such an arbitrary goal might be, but green leaders and others are optimistic. The waiting list for the new electric Nissan Leaf, rolling off the factory floor as we speak, is some 20,000 Americans long. The auto industry expects similar demand for other new electric and plug-in hybrid cars hitting U.S. roads this year and next from General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Mitsubishi and others.
Of course, the Obama administration realizes that attaining such a goal will be impossible without help from the federal government. To that end, consumers and businesses can get tax credits worth up to $7,500 on the purchase of each new electric vehicle (EV). The feds have also committed $2.4 billion for research and development into improving EV batteries, and another $115 million for the installation of EV charging infrastructure in 16 different metro areas around the country—not to mention some $300 million in clean cities grants to dozens of American communities working to reduce petroleum use, and the $25 billion being doled out to help U.S. automakers retool. So much federal involvement has helped spur state governments and private industry to make significant investments in the EV sector as well.
But even with all this funding, a million EVs on the road by 2015 may still be just a pipe dream. James Sweeney of Stanford University's Precourt Energy Efficiency Center calls the plan "very aggressive." He reasons that it took over a decade for hybrids—which "did not require any difference in infrastructure and had as great a range as conventional vehicles, neither of which is likely to be the case with electric vehicles"—to capture three percent of the U.S. passenger car and light truck market. EVs would have to achieve the same market share in just four years if Obama's goal is to be realized. "Even with a large subsidy, it would be very hard to move to such a large market share that quickly," Sweeney concludes.
The Electrification Coalition, an organization of pro-EV business leaders from companies including Nissan, Federal Express, Coda Automotive and Coulomb Technologies, would take issue with that conclusion, however. The group's November 2009 study, dubbed the Electrification Roadmap, predicted that as many as 14 million EVs could be on American roads by 2020 if lawmakers create "electrification ecosystems" in several major U.S. cities simultaneously. If the group is anywhere near the mark, reaching Obama's goal of a million EVs by 2015 should be a no-brainer. The group also says that EVs could account for as many as 75 percent of all miles driven by light duty vehicles in the U.S. by 2040.
Now if only we could clean up our supply of electricity too, then we really might be onto something good for the planet…

The Sally Leonard Richardson Award
Given annually for the best student oral paper presented at the Annual Larval Fish Conference.
This prestigious award, presented by the AFS Early Life History Section for the best student presentation at the Larval Fish Conference, commemorates the life and work of Sally Leonard Richardson. Sally was a dedicated and accomplished scientist, who passed away unexpectedly in 1986 while on her way to the Tenth Annual Larval Fish Conference in Miami. So bereaved by her passing was one of her friends and colleagues, that this anonymous benefactor appropriated personal funds to establish a best paper award in her memory. Subsequently, a second individual also contributed to the cause. Thus, the inaugural Sally Leonard Richardson Award was made in Miami in 1986.
A committee was established in the Spring of 1988 to consider the long-term future of the Sally Richardson Award. The committee recommended that the Richardson Award should become a student award, that is should not be restricted by citizenship, nor by membership in the Section or its parent society; and that the local committee of each Larval Fish Conference appoint judges, execute the competition, and conduct a raffle to generate funds which, along with other donations, would increase the Award Endowment Fund. In addition, this committee developed judging criteria for the Award. Winners have been selected annually since 1988.
The status of the award was reassessed in 1997 by an ad hoc committee. In consultation with the original benefactor, the committee recommended that the Richardson Award should remain a student award because Sally was so involved in stimulating students (the words of the benefactor). The committee also recommended that the endowment be increased to become self-supporting, and hopefully increased in the future. In 2000 the Richardson Award Committee was changed from ad hoc status to a standing committee in recognition of the importance of the award. The Section also moved to double the endowment by twice transferring money from the general account of the ELHS to the Richardson Award Endowment Fund, so that interest alone would cover the award. At the same time the Section doubled the cash prize for the award from $150 to $300 for 2000, and again from $300 to $600 for 2001. The Sally Richardson raffle was changed from mandatory to voluntary, at the discretion of the LFC Local Organizing Committee. The Sally Richardson Award Committee now administers the competition, appointing judges and selecting the winner, while the Local Committee schedules the student papers.
Currently, the award is accompanied by a handsome plaque, a $600 check, and, at the request of the originating benefactor, a reprint of Sallys obituary report published in Copeia. Students are strongly encouraged to review the judging criteria and present their work at the Larval Fish Conference to compete for this prestigious award. Inquiries about the Sally Richardson Award or contributions to the Award Endowment fund should be directed to Grace Klein-MacPhee, Chair of the Sally Richardson Award Committee.The award will be presented during the banquet at the Kiel Maritim hotel on Thursday, August 7th, 2008.
Following with tradition, there will be a RAFFLE to raise funds for the Award. Please consider donating something to this worthy cause. Bring your donations with you, or send them to us in advance of the meeting. Popular raffle items include books, illustrations, T-shirts, hats, "fishy" items such as bric-a-brac, wall hangings, mugs or vases, jewelry, ties, etc. You might also consider items from your own country, state or region (such as regional wines or micro-beers), or anything that might appeal to attendees. All items to be raffled will be displayed near the Registration Table and you will have the opportunity to buy tickets (at a nominal price) and take a chance to win those that most interest you.As always, proceeds from this event will be added to the Sally Richardson Endowment Fund, and will provide future funding for awards, student subsidies, and other worthwhile causes.

By Verena Dobink The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Sixteen stories below Grand Central Terminal, an army of workers is blasting through bedrock to create a new commuter rail concourse with more floor space than New Orleans' Superdome, just one of three audacious projects going on beneath New York City's streets to expand what's already the nation's biggest mass transit system.
But even with blasting and machinery grinding through the rock day and night, most New Yorkers are blithely unaware of the construction or the eerie underworld that includes a huge, eight-story cavern, miles of tunnels and watery, gravel-filled pits.
"I look at it and I'm in wonder. I'm in awe," says engineer Michael Horodniceanu, president of capital construction for the state Metropolitan Transportation Authority. "I feel like when I went to Rome and entered St. Peter's Basilica for the first time. ... I looked at it and said, 'Wow, how did they do that?' "
In New York, they hauled out enough rocky debris from under Grand Central to cover Central Park almost a foot deep, Horodniceanu says.
Together, the three projects will cost an estimated $15 billion. And when they're all completed, tentatively in 2019, they will bring subway and commuter rail service to vast, underserved stretches of the city, particularly the far East and West sides of Manhattan.
"They'll be a game-changer for New Yorkers," says Horodniceanu, an Israeli-educated native of Romania who lives in Queens.
The most dramatic project will result in a sort of 21st century, underground Grand Central Terminal mirroring the century-old Grand Central Terminal above -a 350,000-square-foot, $8.3 billion commuter rail concourse with six miles of new tunnels. It will accommodate Long Island Rail Road trains that now bypass Manhattan's East Side as they roll east through Queens and straight to Pennsylvania Station on the island's West Side.
This so-called East Side Access will bring about 160,000 passengers a day from Long Island to a new station in Queens' Sunnyside neighborhood, then about five more miles to the new, eight-track Grand Central hub.
Also under construction is the Second Avenue Subway that eventually will serve Manhattan's far East Side, from Harlem to the island's southern tip. The planned eight miles of track will open Manhattan's East Side to millions of people who now squeeze daily onto the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 subway trains running under Lexington Avenue.
Dubbed the "The Line That Time Forgot," the Second Avenue Subway has been a New York City dream since the 1920s.
Finally, there's the extension of the No. 7 subway line from Times Square to a huge new real estate development on Manhattan's Far West Side, New York's biggest besides the World Trade Center. It's called Hudson Yards, a small urban village of high-rises, parkland, retail businesses and cultural institutions in the West 30s.

DIY Twine Wrapped Bottle
Now that the Super Bowl is over you may have a bunch of beer bottles, wine bottles or maybe if you're health conscious you might have some mineral water glass bottles...don't toss them! Up-cycle them! I was originally going to make cups out of them but realized I have way too many cups and I needed something to go on our floating shelves in the living room. All you need is glass bottles, any kind will do, twine or yarn, hot glue and scissors.
I used a glass mineral water bottle for my twine wrapped bottle. I also have a funky shaped wine bottle that I plan to wrap in white yarn. I think the funky bottles are a lot of fun!
Here are five easy steps to help you up-cycle your left over glass bottles!
You will want to remove your glass bottle lables so that you can't see them peeking through the twine. Submerge your bottles in a sink full of water. If you fill them with water they will stay under the water and make it easier on you. After they have soaked for a while you can peel off the labels pretty easily. To get the rest of the goop off of the bottles use an SOS (steel wool) pad and scrub under running water. When your bottle is clean and dry you can begin wrapping it with your twine. Use little dabs of hot glue to secure your twine. Wrap as tight as possible to prevent gaps in your twine. That's all folks! Easy huh? You now have your very own rustic twine wrapped bottle. Enjoy!

Once out on that road, shifting gears and feeling the fresh air envelop you, discomfort sets in as the mileage increases. Slightly shifting your weight on the seat and hanging your feet in different positions can only go so far to make your weariness subside. There had to be better options out there and we were determined to locate them. We got our hands on our friend, Chad's, '05 Fat Boy while he was in shopping mode for someplace to put his feet during his longer rides. A low, thin seat and 40-inch beach bars do nothing to help him stay relaxed once the odometer starts clicking through the higher numbers. His requests were for us to find a way to get his footboards moved out (not forward) and then add an engine bar with some cool way to utilize highway pegs. It didn't take long to accommodate both his wishes, as we had the perfect solution for both requirements. 01. Since swapping the brackets means removing the kickstand, some form of lift is necessary to safely hold the bike. We threw the Fat Boy on our Handy work lift. First up was the HG chrome footboard brackets ($159.95) and polished floorboard spacers ($49.95). Tom at HG even threw in two black and two pink skull facemasks to make our deal even sweeter. 01. Since swapping the brackets means removing the kickstand, some form of lift is necess Combining parts from Harley Goodies (HG) and JBN Custom netted us a homerun for the Fat Boy in both form and function. Harley Goodies has a range of footboard extensions to fit '83-later Touring models and '86-later Softails. The 1-1/4inch extensions are available in black but we chose polished for this install. Beginning with heavy-gauge stainless steel, the pieces are tumbled, then hand-polished to a mirror finish, and shipped with stainless hardware. Additionally, we opted for the HG chrome exchange program on a pair of left and right chrome footboard brackets. JBN Custom developed a trick engine bar dubbed the Phantom Highway Bar. What makes the Phantom Bar so cool is the button-operated, spring-loaded pop-out footpegs. JBN makes the bars in triple-plated steel with a beefy look that can dress up your '97-08 Touring bike (except the Road Glide) or '86-later Softails. Setting your Harley up with these parts is a simple affair with nothing but handtools required, but you will need an assortment of Allen and Torx drivers to accomplish the task. Swapping the footboard brackets requires removing the rear brake master cylinder, which will necessitate new crush washers for the brake line and the proper fluid to refill the reservoir. HB The Lowdown Man Hours: Two hours Difficulty: Easy Aftermarket Parts Used: Harley Goodies chrome footboard brackets Harley Goodies polished floorboard extensions JBN Custom Phantom Highway Bar Total Cost: $558.90 02. With the left-side floorboard removed, this is what we found. The kickstand, heel-toe shifter, and footboard bracket all needed to come off. As we warned, this is where you'll find three different fasteners to contend with. 02. With the left-side floorboard removed, this is what we found. The kickstand, heel-toe 03.

Final bid to save old Hinguar school fails
8:30am Friday 14th September 2012 in News By Christine Sexton
A FINAL effort to save Shoebury 's old Hinguar School from demolition has failed.
English Heritage has turned down campaigners' bid to win listed building status for the 126-year-old school, because the body ruled it wasn't interesting enough from an architectural perspective.
Children left the old school, in Hinguar Street, at the end of last term and are now learning in a smart new school nearby on the Shoebury Garrison site.
Shoebury Independent councillors have been lobbying to save the building so it can be used by the community. English Heritage's ruling means the building is now likely to be levelled and the site sold for homes, with the money going back into Southend Council's education budget.
Independent councillor Mike Assenheim, who applied to English Heritage, said: "Although the facade of the main building is locally listed, legally, this does not stop a future developer demolishing it.
"Before I applied for heritage status, I requested the main school building be kept in council hands and be allowed to become an arts and community centre, as well as a local meeting place.
"Unfortunately, the council dismissed this idea out of hand. "Naturally, I am very disappointed with this decision by English Heritage and feel sure the people of Shoebury will be, too."
English Heritage acknowledged the school was designed by noted architect James Brooks, but said the criteria for listing had not been met. It explained: "The facade of the school had been locally listed, reflecting its local interest, but was not of special architectural and historic interest from a national perspective, because the original buildings are not of exceptional design and random alterations have compromised the architectural integrity of the building."
Shoebury Tory councillor, Roger Hadley welcomed the decision not to list the school, but said he too hoped the facade of the building could be preserved.
He said: "Revenue from the development of this land is needed to cover the cost of the new school and to pay for other school improvements in schools in the borough where there is very great pressure.
"What would we do with it if it had been listed? "There is no money to run it as a community centre. "Most councillors would be sympathetic to keeping the facade of the building though."

Hinguar school has historical interest because it was built at the same time as much of Shoebury Garrison. It is a big part of our local heritage and history. There is no way it should be destroyed by the Tory vandals in the Civic Centre.

What about the people who want to save the building form a community group or better still a registered company with an elected board of directors to buy the building themselves and run it how they want?
Just a thought...

The Buena Vista men's basketball team will begin its quest for a seventh Iowa Conference Tournament title on Thursday night when the Beavers host sixth-seeded Simpson College in a 7:00pm tip-off inside of Siebens Fieldhouse. The Storm moved on after edging third-seeded University of Dubuque, 95-87, in double overtime on Tuesday evening.
BVU, winners of nine of its final 11 regular season games, earned the league's #2 seed and a first round by with a conference mark of 11-5. The Beavers, who are 7-3 all-time as the second-seed, are also the only IIAC team to have qualified into all 14 of the IIAC Tournaments since the event began in 1999. The team's 24 wins all-time during the tournament is the highest total among any other IIAC team. Non-qualifier Wartburg College is second with 15.
Playing inside of the friendly confines of Siebense Fieldhouse has also proved to be on the Beavers side over the years as well, where the team is 21-2 all-time in the postseason tournament.
Since dropping back-to-back three-point contests which followed a season-high six-game winning streak, the Beavers are back on another run of three straight wins – all coming by at least 10-points or more. Junior Wes Nordquist (Adel, Iowa/ADM), the reigning IIAC Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the second time in three weeks, has been a force for the team during the current stretch, averaging 22 points and grabbing 9.3 rebounds. He's shooting nearly 72 percent from the floor during that stretch and has sunk 20-of-21 attempts from the free-throw line. As a team, BVU is shooting right at 48 percent from the field in the three wins, while holding opponents to only 36 percent.
Senior Doug Bissen (Earling, Iowa/Harlan), who enters the semifinal match-up only 24 points shy of 1,000, is averaging 10.7 points over the final week of the regular season, while shooting right at 50 percent from the field and grabbing better than eight boards per contest. Should he reach the 1,000-point mark, he'd become only the 10th player in school history to have scored 1,000 career points and grabbed 500 career rebounds. Fellow senior Jeff Janssen (Fairmont, Minn./Fairmont) has also averaged double-figures during the same stretch (10.3ppg), while leading the team in three-point buckets this season with 54 long range treys. His 42 percent shooting from beyond the arc is also fifth-best in the league.
Senior Andy Puhrmann (Paullina, Iowa/South O'Brien) and freshman Alex Savage (Des Moines, Iowa/Dowling Catholic) have also been key contributors off the bench during the recent stretch, as both are averaging better than six points per game and each making four three-point baskets (8-of-13).
Defensively as a team, BVU is out-rebounding opponents by nearly nine boards per game and holding them to just 56 points over the last three games.
The Beavers and Storm meet for the third time this season and for the second time in the last two weeks. It's also the second straight season the two have met in postseason play, as the Storm edged the Beavers in the first round of last year's tournament in Indianola, 78-72. BVU's last loss this season came in Indianola when Simpson edged the Beavers, 76-73, after BVU was whistled for a foul with 1.3 seconds left and the Storm made all three free-throws.
The teams enter play as the top-two scoring teams in the league this year, as the Beavers lead the way in field goal shooting with the Storm ranked third.
Nordquist has averaged 17 points in the first two meetings for BVU this season, connecting on 15-of-30 attempts from the floor, while also averaging 8.5 rebounds. Bissen is close behind, scoring 14.5 points and grabbing 6.0 rebounds. As a team, the Beavers are shooting 40 percent from the field against the Storm, but have connected on just 25 percent from downtown (11-of-40).
Simpson, who's making back-to-back tournament appearances for the first time since qualifying into the first nine league tournaments, improved its overall season record to 12-13 with Tuesday's win. It finished the conference regular season at 8-8. Zach Barragan led the Storm against the Spartans, turning in 28 points, on 11-of-17 shooting, including three of the team's four three-pointers. He also grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds. Elijah Knox was right behind with 23 points, as Simpson shot 56 percent overall.
In the first meeting between the two teams this season back on January 11, Barragan, who ranks second in the conference in scoring at 16.3ppg, knocked down seven three-pointers and finished with a game-high 27 points, while Cornelius Mosby, who did not play Wednesday against Dubuque, followed with 15 points and 11 boards. Barragan made just one long range bucket in the recent meeting and finished with 16 points. Mosby, who made the three free-throws in the waning seconds, led the way with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Both teams shot better than 46 percent from the field in that contest.
The Storm are now 1-1 in their history as the number six seed and improve to 7-10 all-time in the conference tournament and 2-9 on the road.
Simpson is looking to advance into only its second-ever championship game, while the Beavers are going after their league-leading 11 championship game in the 14-year history of the event.
Thursday's games will be televised locally on campus station UCN channel 3 with a live video stream available at http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/bvu.portal#. The game can also be heard locally on 97.5FM KBVU with that audio stream available online at http://www.bvu.edu/athletics/broadcast/live-audio.dot.

Microsoft provides Linux images in the Open Technologies VM Depot
Image Game
Microsoft has an entire portfolio of pre-built virtual machines, all of them Linux systems, designed to run on the Windows Azure cloud service.
Microsoft Linux? Completely normal, say the Redmond marketing people. In the VM Depot [1], which is part of the Microsoft Open Technologies site, administrators will now find a huge selection of ready-made Linux virtual machines that can be run in Microsoft's cloud. Most images are based on known distributions, notably Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and openSUSE (Figure 1).
List of Defects
Anyone who registers at the VM Depot can create and upload their own virtual machines. When this issue went to press, the vast majority of images came courtesy of the BitNami project, which operates an "App Store for Server Software" [2] on its own site. In the store, you will not just find many virtual machines for different applications and cloud platforms, but also popular server software, such as the WordPress blogger tools, all preconfigured.

Yeah, amazing stuff. Wasn't aware that it was even possible to do something like that.
However, is there a way to bring the dragged players to the front layer so they aren't hidden behind various UI elements?

This mod (dragging) does have some conflict with Seph's Quickstats. Usually, hovering over the large icon will show stats... with this mod it won't. I'm assuming it's because the icon area is reserved for dragging purposes.
This isn't a huge upset since you can still view stats on the left of the icon (there's a small button you can hover over).

Bang... i found a bug... autobuy won't work with rpg keys, what is the problem? is there a way to fix it?
[suggestion]Implement SmartCast keys:
found a bug too ,
Bang! Buddies if you selected autoshare with buddies or all players at the beginning of the game without buying a courier in the chat appears the sentce that you share courier with them ... pls fix it
hey bangerz, i would like to suggest u a mod, the mod makes u bind control of units, like on ophelia, and wildsoul
so its like, bind 1 to wildsoul, bind 2 to his bear,that would be so good to me
but make it be forever, cause when u bind in game, i heard if your units die u loose this bind and it doesnt save for next game
Ignorance Multiselect Keys or something like that. It was made by Ignorance, whatever it's called. I don't know if it still works with the newest version of the game though.

I'm not sure whats going on... I'm new to mods but I have everything it says is required but non of my bang! addons work CC timers and so on I have the required counter mods frame work and moveable but they don't show up and movf says inactive even when im in a practice game.
I'd like to suggest to make BangBuddies write "Thank you very much" if you rightclick the lock_request-button
It's pretty easy to implement (I know it because i've done it xD and you know it too ^^ )
Good work btw Bangerz!

Would be better if Bang Auto Buy items worked with Ctrl + Clicking the shop for the recipe
S2 just surrendered to LoL
I didnt really think this was a problem, but Sephinator could add his mouseover trigger to the drag overlay if he thinks that it is. That way, both mods would work off the same icon.
...you did it again. What exactly is the bug?
Er, that is not a bug. The game says that when you share partial control.
You should be able to move it around now, allowing for other nameplate mods. (V0.55+)
Most problems like this are resolved by reading the stickies in the main modifications forum. I have no idea what the specific issue is here.
Done and done, with a little extra spice.
It works with that already, the modifier is just disabled atm. So... soon!

Nice work with the BangBuddies Update!
Couldnt test it now, but by seeing the code, it seems like the ty-message is random :P
Too bad my 2 hours of looking at the code, understanding things and editing it are kinda trash now, but anyway, it was funny (and I can understand a lil bit more now :P)^^

Added buddy list right click fix to UI Tweaks collection.
Small updates for Buddies and CC Timers: Right click to thank host, and reworked nameplate channel bar to give more options/compatibility.
Oh, just the name.
I'm sure you could remember a list of matchIDs and assosiated names. There are no proper arrays/tables though, so it would be a lot of ugly substringing.

Bangerz the bug is: when i try to right-click an item to add it to the list, it won't. it is working somehow, i can see that when i got no money, colors on the buy menu change to orange, but when right clicking, nothing is done.

I've got one for my PS2, and I'll probably pick up another one sometime. For the most part I don't really think I even need another one, since I get rid of the saves when I beat a game anyway.
Ive never really thought about it before, but Im pretty sure I only have 3-4. And they are all marked with little stickers
I really dont play systems that use memory cards very often for some reason.
Vectors, pixels & polygons
1.1 official Sony Memory Card
2.3rd Party 2x Memory cards- I love these things to mem cards in one
1.Mad Catz Memory Card
2.1 official Sony Memory Card
1.Nintendo Standard Memory Card
2.Nintendo 251 Memory Card
3.Animal Crossing Memory Card
1.Sega VMU
2.3rd Party Memory Card with no screen
I have not had any issues with the 3rd party cards yet.
Many people are listing Dreamcast and PS1 but the title of this message says modern system and those aren't modern systems by the DP definition. By that definition, I believe I have 6, 5 for my GameCube and 1 for my PS2. If you did allow PS1 and Dreamcast, I'd probably have to add at least 4 for each system.
2 PS2 & 1 GameCube
Would probably only need 1 PS2, but I hardly ever delete anything and the occasional 4,000 unit save (I understand sports seasons, but WWF? Why?) makes 2 necessary.
It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass.
Gamecube: 5 (Games like Poke Box and Poke Colloseum keep giving me more!)
PS2: 1 and Hard Drive
Xbox: 1 (for modding with)
I want some special edition VMUs!
Gamecube 3 - I have one crappy 3rd party one that can barely hold anything, another decent third party and an official Nintendo card that feels like it has unlimited space.
PS2 - 4 - Two official, One I found in my car, an Action Replay card that someone gave to me years ago and is useless because I don't have a disc for it.
PS1 - 3 - One official, two thrid party that seem to work very well.
Just 1; A MadCatz one for my Gamecube.
I've only played Super Smash Bros Melee, Super Mario Sunshine and Legend of Zelda: Windwaker on my Cube though, so I don't need all that much memory.
I've got a shitton. All cards are official
1Xbox card (to carry about my Halo profile from back in the day)
6 cube cards (2 Animal Crossing cards, 2 59 cards, 1 256 and 1 1024 card).
at least 7 PS2 cards (3 black, 1 red 1 blue, 1 green 1 smokey)
5 DC VMU's ( 2 blue, 1 green, 1 smokey, 1 yellow)
8 PS cards (all different colors for american releases)
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.
Some of My Game Collection Mah Mac n' Cheese Blog
I've got something like four PSOne memory cards...that work. Had one that eventually stopped working...piece of crap "multi-page" card.
I've NEVER run out of space on cards when a system was current, besides on PlayStation. My GC takes all the saves I throw at it (but I only use one save per game there).
4 GC(1 Animal Crossing, 1 59 Block, 1 256, and 1 1024 Block) all offical Nintendo Brand
Thats the only current gen system I have.
1 PS2, 1 PS1 and that's it. I have a GC, but only play multi-player games. That, and paying $30 for a 1019 is not to appetizing.
Umm 3 PS2 Offical Mem. Cards (1 Red 1 Blue 1 Black)
One Unoffical PS Memory CArd
One Dreamcast VMU
2 N64 Memory Cards (1 offical 1 not)
2x PS2 0x GameCube....i should really get one for my game cube
For the PS2 I've got 2 official memory cards and one unofficial 64 Meg one. Too many problems with data corruption on the 64 Meg one however, so it just gets used to backup saves that I want to get off the regular cards.
On a side note: Datel came out with a PS2 15 Meg Flash drive that works pretty nifty for storing saves and downloading saves from the net. It also supports PGEN (a genesis emulator), but so far I've had really mixed results with it (crashes, no sound, ect.).
PS2- 4 Sony 8mb Memory Cards..I need to get a few more as 4 cards isn't working for 140 PS2 games I own
PSX- 3 Sony 5mb Memory Cards
Proud owner of a PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, PSP and 3DS

Fun for the kids for free+ visit the childhood museum in Bethnal Green London. Hands on and the dinosaurs at the Science museum etc..
Fiaz Sat Jan 19 -
Brilliant fun for 0-10 year olds (at least), with a surprising number of interesting little corners and interactive zones packed away in what looks like a single, big space. My only criticism is that the cafe is not as great for kids as you might (reasonably) expect.

it was ok something to do i guess but not for 12 year olds and above

This looks like a fun museum.. I am a teacher of 8-yar olds on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii. I have a "dog with a blog". I am coming to London this summer and looking for child friendly activities and places that I will profile on the blog.

marauders | Old Chute Route Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2008 | |
We had a lightening storm south of Mt. Hood at 1am, but by 3am the storm had fizzled. The remainder of the morning was gorgeous. Perfect snow conditions and relatively few people on the mountain. A very easy, but fast, route. The pearly gates were strewn with rockfall probably due to high temps over the last week, so we avoided that area. We could hear rockfall constantly all night and morning. | ||

smason505 | Mt Hood June 27 Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2008 | |
Beautiful climb with perfect cramponing snow and great weather. Started at 1am from the lodge, passed about 30 people en route and were the first on the summit at 6am. Met two other groups of two on the way up who joined us shortly after on the summit. We took a slight variation of the old chute that headed up a steep couloir to the right of the normal route and puts you 15 feet from the summit. | ||

nigelmcc | Beautiful spring day Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2008 | |
My partner and I were blessed with incredible conditions. No ice fall at the crater, no bergschrund to cross, and perfect snow for cramponing. We summited shy of 5 hours and treated ourselves with Carl's Jr. on the way home. | ||

Planning on doing Hood in Fall. Keep the posts coming. I need all the information I can get to bag this. Did you hear about the girl who's foot got trapped under a boulder that moved on it? I'm hoping too much of that doesn't happen. Posted the story on my site. Just a compilation of missing and found hikers in the world. Kinda makes the next adventure more adventurous. | ||

realdeal577 | Couln't Have been better Date Climbed: May 17, 2008 | |
On May 15-17 2008 did a 3 day Alpine seminar with Timberline Mountain Guides. On May 17, despite unseasonably warm conditions, guide Ben Randall and I summited at 5:52 AM via Old Chute(did not ascend Hogsback @ all, traversed left-west and went straight up to Old Chute) with gorgeous scenery at sunrise. I give the credit for my success to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, through whom all things are possible!! My experience could'nt have been better! My next climb is Mt. Baker or Byron peak(Alaska). | ||

amochka | Epic day! Date Climbed: Jun 15, 2008 | |
Amazing conditions. I've never seen so many people crawling around the south side before, but the weather and the people I was climbing with made it a perfect day. First time I've been up since the Hogsback shifted. Fun route, especially the descent through a fairly narrow chute. | ||

lalpinist | Perfect Climb Date Climbed: Jun 14, 2008 | |
Winds made it a bit cold initially, but we were shielded higher up. We heard the Pearly Gates were blocked, everyone was taking the Old Chute. 6 hrs up; 3 down. | ||

DustyDeb9 | avalanche danger Date Climbed: Jun 8, 2008 | |
Our plan was to climb June 7th, but a pretty heavy storm was passing through with snow and winds up 75mph. We decided to start climbing and see if the storm passed, which the forcast predicted, but at 7600 feet, with goggles freezing over and winds still averaging 35 mph keeping the snow blowing sideways, we turned back. The next morning we started climbing at 1am without a single cloud in the sky and a slight breeze. We were above Palmer lift with the sky just begining to get light when we saw the first groups start to come down. They said the snowpack above hogsback was very unstable and turned back at that point. So we went up to hogsback and enjoyed the gorgeous views and the perfect weather. A few people risked going up to the top, but it wasn't worth the risk to us. | ||

tb00957 | Mt Hood Date Climbed: May 10, 2008 | |

mradventure | Old Chute via Hogsback Date Climbed: May 30, 2008 | |
Temperatures above stayed about 31 deg. late morning, but the sun was melting the snow causing small ice chunks to break loose from the rocks at the chutes above the hogsback. Also causing the ice chunks to break loose were the teams above ascending and descending. Wear a helmet and stay roped up. Baseball size ice hit me on shoulder and forearm. The bergschrund is open but the pearly gates are closed, unless you are a technical ice climber with tools. I'm not. Summited at 10:00 am, snow softening up at hogsback, glissading was classic, and the tread through the slush at the bottom was, well you know, "most excellent". | ||

breagen | little too warm Date Climbed: May 15, 2008 | |
Tried to Hogsback route, got up to the pearly gates but they wernt looking very nice so we looked at the old chute variation. However the sun hit the ice above and it was way too warm so we bailed. | ||

jnaleway | Hogsback Date Climbed: May 17, 2008 | |
Climbed as far as the hogsback, but couldn't summit since it had shifted west away from the Pearly Gates (see photo). Still a great climg with my son Patrick, in the bright moonlight and early morning sunshine. Great views. A fun day. | ||
Posted May 18, 2008 2:16 pm |
BradBartick | GREAT climb Date Climbed: Apr 26, 2008 | |
Climbed solo from Hogsback to Old Chute then to summit. Great temps, no wind, great early snow but got soft in late AM. Moderate traffic. An enjoyable, moderate, straightforward route. No ropes needed if you don't mind some slight exposure on the ridge (very moderate). | ||

Camped out above Palmer the night before and awoke to a perfect day! Took the skis and board to just below crater rock, then enjoyed a nice boot pack up the hogsback (headed left off the hogsback) The climb was done with two of my best friends (The Vandervorts) and countless others, great mountain. | ||

Redwic | Much More Than Expected Date Climbed: Apr 26, 2008 | |
The weather was perfect and the fumaroles were potent. The trek seemed much longer than anticipated. Once the sun came out, the snow softened up rather quickly. Beautiful scenery and many good conversations with other travelers. Then went back solo on June 15, to give my dad a special "Fathers Day" message from the summit. | ||

lalpinist | Icy Gates Date Climbed: Mar 22, 2008 | |
Our team of 3 were the first to summit this spring. Left Timberline at 2:30 by full moon. It was a chore to break trail over the hogsback and the gates were icy; it took some to navigate both up and down, in the shade and cold wind. Up top, only a light wind and lots of sun. | ||

When it comes to health, we all do things that serve little purpose or aren't really good for us. No, I'm not talking about superstitions (such as saying "bless you" after sneezing) or major health transgressions (such as smoking, overeating or driving too fast). These are topics for another day. I'm talking about the little, everyday things that probably have few risks or benefits to our overall health. We may have a sense they are useless, or worse, that they could be bad for us. But, we keep doing them anyway. Here are some of my favorite useless or potentially risky activities with little proven benefit that many of us are doing on a daily basis:
I suspect we engage in these behaviors for one or more of the following reasons:
If you want to be healthy, there are much bigger priorities than these little things that are worth your attention. But until you're doing even the little things right, you're not doing all you can to stay healthy. I know it's not easy to break a routine. But consider establishing a new routine for the New Year. It might just make the coming year your healthiest yet. Robert H. Shmerling, M.D. is associate physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School.

This site complies with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information: verify here.
What you can do for yourself depends on the type of dental emergency you are experiencing. If you have sustained an injury playing sport, or in a fall, and you have knocked one or more teeth out, it is vital to try to find the missing tooth. Emergency dental treatment in the first 60 minutes, to push an avulsed tooth back into place can save the tooth and will be less traumatic in terms of future treatments.
You can also sit upright and use a piece of clean clothing or a tissue to stem the flow of blood until help arrives. Bystanders will hopefully then be able to provide immediate on-site emergency dental treatment and first aid.
If you develop a painful abscess or severe pain with swelling and flu-like symptoms, you need to phone an emergency dentist to arrange to be seen immediately. If you are alone, you will need to raise help from a friend, family member or neighbour to take you there as soon as soon as you have an appointment. Emergency dental treatment in this case is not really applicable, but you could take ibuprofen or paracetamol to ease the pain.
If you have been hurt in an accident it is important that any teeth that have been knocked out are retrieved. A bystander needs to take the following precautions:
Always handle the tooth that has been knocked out by the tooth end. Try not to touch any tissue at the other end, as this could be crucial to repairing the blood supply to the tooth if it can be replaced by emergency dental treatment.
If possible, try to gently push the avulsed tooth back into the empty gum socket. When you get professional emergency dental treatment, it may need to be repositioned, but the all-important blood supply may have been saved. Reinstating the tooth immediately may not be possible for many reasons; there may be too much bleeding, it may cause too much pain, or the gum may have already become distorted by swelling.
If the tooth needs to be transported to the site of the emergency dental treatment, the best place for it is inside the patient's mouth, held between their gum and their cheek so that it is bathed in saliva. An alternative medium to preserve the tooth is a small container of milk.
Bleeding from the gum where a tooth has been knocked out completely or knocked out of position often appears profuse. However, there are no major blood vessels in the gums, and giving the injured person a small wad of cotton wool or clean material to hold against the damaged gum is a simple form of emergency dental treatment that will usually stop the bleeding within minutes.
The ideal situation is to contact your own dentist for advice. If they are closed, the answer machine of the practice should have instructions and a number to call to access emergency dental treatment. You can also call NHS Direct (0845 4647), or your local Primary Care Trust Helpline. Both will be able to give you information about an emergency dentist or out-of-hours dentist in your local area.
Once you, or someone looking after you, has located an emergency dentist you need to be taken there as soon as possible. Patients with severe tooth injuries, or an abscess that is pressing on your throat or windpipe are usually seen immediately as emergency dental treatment could save your teeth, or even your life.
We will submit your enquiry for information about, or costs of private emergency and cosmetic dentistry to up to three practices in your local area.
