Down East 2013 ©
Talk about hidden in plain sight. Whales are some of the largest creatures on Earth, and yet most people go their entire lives without ever seeing one up close. They don't know what they're missing. The Gulf of Maine happens to be home to a unique ecosystem that serves as one of the most abundant food sources for a whole variety of whale species, from the lumbering, corpulent North Atlantic right whale to the shy minke whale. Between May and November these ocean giants can be found gorging themselves on a series of undersea shoals and ridges just a few dozen miles off the Maine coast between Kittery and Eastport, providing a sea-level display like no other. Those people who own a yacht are sometimes lucky enough to float upon a pod or two on their own (though all mariners must observe federal guidelines to keep from affecting the whales' behavior).
Don't fret if you can't captain your own ship: the Maine coast is sprinkled with whale-watching boats that will let you spend a few hours with these impressive creatures from the deep, and we've included a list of where to find the boats. It's an experience you won't soon forget.
Individual humpback whales are identified by unique markings on the underside of their tail flukes, while finback whales are recognized by chevron markings behind their eyes, and North Atlantic right whales have distinct callosities, or bulbous growths, on their snouts. The science of using such identifying marks was invented in the late 1970s by Scott Kraus, an undergraduate student at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, and has been used to track whale migrations from Maine to the Caribbean and the Carolina coast of the United States. Today Allied Whale, a research program within the College of the Atlantic, maintains a photographic catalog of all whales in the Gulf of Maine, using
images taken by many of the whale-watching boats that depart from places like Bar Harbor, Eastport, and Kennebunk. This record, a cetacean family album of sorts, allows researchers, whale-watching guides, and regular visitors to Maine to actually
recognize individual whales year after year, even noticing changes as younger whales mature.
Though the North Atlantic right whale is one of the largest creatures on the planet (the blue whale takes that top prize, and the finback comes in second), it is also one of the most vulnerable. There are just four hundred left in the world, with entanglements in fishing gear and ship strikes being the two most common human-caused mortality sources for whales, according to Dr. Sean Todd, director of Allied Whale in Bar Harbor. The federal government has instituted a variety of regulations to protect them. Ships can approach no closer than five hundred yards to a North Atlantic right whale and must stay at least a hundred yards from humpbacks and finback whales. New requirements that lobstermen use sinking lines, instead of the more common floating type, for their traps are also designed to protect whales that might otherwise become entangled in them.
If the Caribbean is the whales' bedroom, Maine is their kitchen. Warmer southern waters are conducive to birthing and mating, but the frigid, nutrient-rich currents that wash into the Gulf of Maine and the region's tremendous tides create the ideal feeding ground for whales. "If you are a large, fat, blubbery forty-foot-long animal, when you open your mouth it had better be worth it," declares Dr. Sean Todd of Allied Whale. "So whales tend to eat in areas of densely aggregate prey, and there are not many places like that — but the Gulf of Maine is one of them." Shoals such as Jeffrey's Ledge, off Kittery, and the inner Schoodic Ridges, off Mount Desert Island, create a natural upwelling that sends schools of herring into the bubble nets (literally a cage of air that humpbacks create to trap fish, allowing the whales to then rise open-mouthed and swallow the cage whole) of humpbacks, krill into the lunging maws of finbacks, and copepods toward the North Atlantic right whales. Some locations even offer the chance to see whales from dry land; Zack Klyver, who grew up in Eastport before heading to Bar Harbor to lead whale-watching trips, recalls observing feeding finbacks push schools of herring into Passamaquoddy Bay, turning the water black with the densely packed fish. Whales have been found in locations throughout Maine, though finbacks seem to favor the areas around Mount Desert Rock and humpbacks are more numerous around Jeffrey's Ledge. In recent years fishermen and the occasional whale-watching boat have even reported spotting orca whales (commonly known as "killer whales" due to their hunting prowess, including feeding on other whales), a species more commonly associated with the Pacific Northwest.
More than a few sightseers have been alarmed at how interested some whales, especially humpbacks, can be by the presence of whale-watching boats. Though captains are restricted in their ability to approach whales, often humpbacks will swim within a few yards of the ships and playfully slap their pectoral fins on the surface of the water, use their tails to create a surprising saltwater shower for onlookers, or exhale loudly (and malodorously) just upwind. Staring into the grapefruit-sized eye of a humpback, many people believe they're making a mental connection with the gentle giant, but Allied Whale's Sean Todd cautions against making such inter-species leaps. "It's tempting to anthropomorphize, and I've certainly had experiences where it seems the whales are interested in us," Todd says. "But there is a tendency to overestimate intelligence when it comes to animals." Todd says one noteworthy aspect of whales' intellect, in addition to the high-pitched songs they emit as a breeding mechanism, is their ability to pass a system of rules — defined as "culture" in scientific terms — from one generation to the next. This is manifested in the whales' predictable annual migration patterns, as scientists and whale-watching boats have grown accustomed to seeing the same whales and their offspring returning to the same spots in the Gulf of Maine year after year.
While whale-watching trips have been departing from Maine shores for decades, the industry has taken off in popularity in recent years. Smaller, fishing-type excursion boats have evolved into more stable, faster, double-hulled catamarans in locations like Bar Harbor, where the Bar Harbor Whale Watch Company now takes up to sixty thousand passengers a year out to see the whales. Since whales are wild, unpredictable creatures, most companies offer vouchers for a free trip in the unlikely event that the whales fail to show themselves. For an increasing number of visitors, a trip on a whale watch has become a key part of their summer vacation. "Every day that I go out, we have people from all over the world who have never seen a whale, and many who have never even been on the ocean," remarks Zack Klyver, head naturalist for the Bar Harbor Whale Watch Company. "This is something they have come here primarily for; this was a major factor in their decision-making process, and we feel excited to help their dreams come true." The attraction is equally strong in other sections of the coast. Karen Duddy, the director of the Kennebunk & Kennebunkport Chamber of Commerce, says a whale-watching trip is at the top of virtually every traveler's "To Do" list, especially for families. "It's so popular that I just keep the brochure for the whale-watching boat right here at my desk so I can give people their number, rather than having to go get it from the front office," Duddy says.
As much as researchers have learned about whales over the years, thanks largely to partnerships with whale-watching boats, the undersea giants still hold many mysteries. Where minkes and finback whales spend the winter, for example, is unknown, a surprisingly basic fact if scientists are to sufficiently study these migratory creatures. The inability of the North Atlantic right whale stock to rebound, despite the strict protections put in place, also perplexes scientists. Even the humpbacks' reason for breaching, where they launch themselves headlong out of the water (offering an acrobatic display for whale-watching customers), has never been determined conclusively, with researchers suggesting it may be a courting ritual, a feeding mechanism, or simply a way of having fun.

Best and worst phones of 2010
Though it's not quite the end of the year, the new cell phone releases for 2010 are beginning to wind down. So as December lurches on, we take this opportunity to look back at the mobile year that was. Since January, CNET's cell phone reviews team has reviewed almost 200 handsets. Some were fantastic, some were awful, and the rest fell somewhere in between.
Since the two extremes are the most interesting, we offer a review of the best and worst phones of 2010. These photo galleries do not include smartphones--Bonnie Cha will follow up with those lists next week--but they do include the shining stars and darkest pits of despair that we encountered on the regular cell phone beat.… Read more

LOVE THIS. Been using these for a year now and I love this brand. They are so thick and full and even when you get the dramatic looking kind they still look like they can be natural. You just have to know how to apply these thats all, to me, they are no problem. They add sexy to anyone's face.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I wear these on nights out. They make my eyes pop & is not too overly thick. Super easy to wear & very light.The hair is very soft but holds its shape for many wears if you remove & look after them correctly. The quality is very good.
These are awesome lashes. I have never worn false lashes before so these are my first. I"m not the most graceful person when applying any sort of makeup so I had a feeling these were going to be disastrous for me, but they were super easy to apply. I did watch a Lisa Eldridge tutorial beforehand which was really helpful, but all in all they were a cinch to apply - even for me. They were $4.99 at CVS so even if I didn't care for them or didn't have any luck, it wasn't a waste of a lot of money. The packaging is nice because it's easy to lay them back in the same tray they come in after you've removed them from your eyes. And best of all, they look REALLY nice. I got so many compliments, everyone thought they were real. They look really dramatic, but not like, over the top ridiculous. I would definitely repurchase these lashes and I would definitely recommend them. I really love them! I have a feeling I'm going to use them a lot more often now!
ALL of my friends have been getting eyelash extensions professionally done. For most of them it costs $50 every few weeks. I'm sorry but I don't have that kind of cash so I came across these at Sallys and decided to give them a try. Now I don't know how I ever lived without these!! I love to wear them out on weekends. They look natural yet dramatic which is what I love! Now I feel so naked without them haha so beware you may be addicted!! I have used mine multiple times and they still look great! I get compliments all the time, everyone thinks they are real! I will buy again and again, BEST falsies out there!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Very nice lashes! Will always be apart of my eyelash stock pile lol. A bit too dramatic for daytime use, but perfect for dinner or a club! A++
Would I buy this again? Ha! If only I could score a lifetime supply. I already have decently long eyelashes....but you can never have long or thick enough lashes in my opinion! I wear lashes all the time, especially on weekends or Fridays at work when we have events. I try to reuse them all around 3 times, but after that the glue clumps up too much for them to be even. I just adore eyelashes. They add drama to any look, and make eyes look bigger, longer, more open and exotic.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
best fake lashes ever.......i reuse my lashes for weeks on end and they still look great :) very natural looking depending on what style you get and they look stunning with or without mascara. i use fake lashes every single day being as i give up trying to find the perfect mascara. this is the only brand i will buy
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I absolutely love falsies. I usually wear them at night for dinner or clubbing. I am a big fan of BIG DraMAtiC (some can say drag queen style lashes but I love um). I dont really buy natural looking lashes but These are perfect for day time. They make your lashes look fuller without being too dramatic. The band is clear and thin so it doesn't even feel like you have falsies on. Love how the hairs are longer at the end. Def will repurchase! :)
These by far are my favorite lashes. Ditto on the pic on here those aren't the 120 lashes. I've tried different brands but I really like Ardelle lashes. These are beautiful, long, full and dramatic yet natural, not really fake looking. Alot of people think that my lashes are naturally just long and beautiful when I have these on which makes me chuckle :) They fit so well I don't have to cut them and blend in so well with my lashes. It compliments my eye shape and really looks amazing for a cat eye because they're sorta winged at the end. I wear these pretty much everyday, I have a lot of backups and have bought countless pairs. They just make your eyes look very alluring and sexy, almost dangerous ..
Why is the photo of 110?
Besides the point, I really love the 120. It's pretty dramatic, which I love, yet looks natural. I wear false lashes everyday and have experimented with many different kinds; 120 is my favorite. The criss-cross patterns makes this a lot more wearable than super thick, straight-haired falsies that are bluntly cut. If you're looking for something dramatic without looking noticibly fake, I would definitely recommend these. I've bought countless pairs.

Hi all,
Since SOFC fuel cells are not readily available to us as individuals at least, second method would be to filter the syngas and take the H2 out of the CO and other components.
The technology exists http://www.mtrinc.co..._processes.html, but how can we get a hold on a device like this?
Hydrogen fuel cells are more readily available.Imagine a gasifier and a fuel cell to get electricity without a engine noise and all its inefficiencies and hassles inherit.
Any ideas?

You are right this a possible way forward. The link you gave looks like a real refinery pieice of equipment and is probably designed for pressures like 30 bar or more. Also throughput is much more than a GEK will produce. The place to look is Universities who may have similar equipment, but have stopped using it. That is more in the throughput range we are looking for: 1,5 l wood gas per minute.

Serves 16
In Spain, slices of this sweet, fragrant paste, called membrillo, are served atop wedges of rich Manchego cheese as an hors d'oeuvre. Try it with goat cheese as well—or just put it out for breakfast in place of jam.
Put the quinces, vanilla bean pod and seeds, and lemon zest in a 4-quart saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the quinces are tender when poked with a knife, about 40 minutes.
Drain the quinces in a colander and discard the vanilla bean. Purée the fruit and lemon zest in a food processor. Measure the purée by volume, return it to the saucepan, and add an equal volume of sugar. (For example, if you have 2 cups of purée, add 2 cups of sugar.)
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the sugar has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the purée becomes a very thick paste, about 1-1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 125°F. If your oven doesn't go this low, use the lowest temperature possible and expect a shorter cooking time. Line an 8x8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with parchment and grease with the butter. Pour the quince paste (don't scrape the pot) into the dish and smooth the top with the wooden spoon. Bake until slightly dried and firm enough to slice, about 1 hour.
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Invert onto a cutting board and cut the quince paste into four 2-inch-wide strips. Wrap each strip in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
The quince paste will keep for up to 1 month.

by renkow, 9/28/2012I made this recipe exactly one year ago and have just enough left for one more serving. It is the best appetizer ever! I prepared it as stated in the recipe and poured it onto a parchment lined jelly roll pan. I smoothed out the surface and placed another sheet of parchment over it to store it. I kept the paste in my freezer in this way until today when we finally finished it. I slice it in a long row and cut diagonally across to create triangle sliced the shape of my cheese. I keep a wedge of Spanish Manchego cheese in my cheese drawer to create this tasty treat when we have guests. I just went next door to my neighbors tree and got another batch for this next year. I am so happy to make this favorite dish again!

hi i got the game 2day n theres 2 free codes with it but the bottom 1 dosent work @ all, it does say bloodbath areas out l8 september, so will the code work thenHi guys,
There are two codes that accompany the SE of the game (1 is for the Ripper and the other for the Bloodbath Arena). The Ripper code should work, however the Bloodbath one will not because as you rightly say the content is not available yet. When it does become available the code should work, or the the DLC will know you have the SE copy of the game and this will download.
If you are having any other queries in regards to this issue, let me know.
it is the code from the dead island home space were havin problems with.
I believe this may be due to the same reason, in that the code unlocks in game items that are not available as yet? I will look into this and update when i know more.

The Playstation Network (Home) Code which so many of us wasted our time earning since it doesn't unlock the promised 'exploding meat' is both shameful and concerning. It feels like we have been deceived. Why is Playstation avoiding providing feedback on how and why this has happened. Some responsibility for having made false promises and misleading customers should be taken by someone and an apology is due at the very least. The excuse of the content is not yet available is totally wrong as Bumfluff King said: it is available (see game menu) but the codes provided by yourselves do not work. Why? Please explain. The exploding meat was not for the Blood Bath Arena, or is it and did the Network just fail to inform it's customers of this?

Well you ain't missing out since the damn things don't work but if they ever fix them then you can always complain. I can't understand why they removed the Home space so quick anyways, since they've so much unused junk on there and people were actually using this space. Maybe it was because they couldn't deal with the number of complaints of codes not working? Well done to the producers of Dead Island though, for getting PlayStation to advertise your game and then not providing the promised freebies. Grounds for a dispute indeed.

Hi guys,
The update I've received is that the Dead Island codes from HOME are currently not activated which is why they will not work. This is due to an issue related to the content availability in the game itself which we have raised with the developers.
When more details are available I will update.

Brown's Bologna program begins with a one-month orientation during which students learn about the city and meet with on-site staff to discuss course selection. The orientation equips students with the skills and knowledge they need to participate in a full-immersion study abroad experience.
All students are required to take the Intensive Language and Culture proseminar. Students have access to the full range of academic offerings at the University of Bologna. Students may also take one studio and visual arts course at the Accademia di Belle Arti (Academy of Fine Arts), if they can provide a portfolio of their previous work. In addition, students enroll in the equivalent of three 60-hour courses at the University of Bologna.
Academic Calendar
Approximate dates are provided based on past programs; students should expect them to vary by year.
Academic Year: early September - early June
Fall Semester: early September to third week of December
Spring Semester: Early January - early June
Students live in Brown-rented apartments, with peers from the program and with Italian students. Students are assigned their own rooms in a shared, fully furnished, apartment through a housing lottery. All apartments are located in beautiful and convenient areas of town.
Students cook for themselves or eat out at the numerous local restaurants. Bologna is famed for its cuisine so many wonderful opportunities exist to explore this aspect of Italian and Bolognese culture.
Application Instructions
Apply by the deadline using Brown's online application system via the "apply now" and "return to application" buttons on the right side of this page. Applications typically require faculty recommendations so it is important to begin the process early.

while (likely(!is_world_ending()) { update_world_status(); } save_the_world();
And the branch prediction was wrong pretty much always, that would also increase the amount of time used to update world status. So even when it finally sees the world ending and jumps immediately to saving the world, perhaps it could have done that in the previous iteration already if the inner loop had been faster.
Or something like that :)
Likely unlikely()s

dmk's basic idea seems valuable, but the example is bad. And cras seems to have misread that example. We need a better example.
The problem with what dmk writes ("we would want to get the decision really fast") is that likely() doesn't affect how fast the test is. It affects how fast what you do as a result of that test is. If the test is world_continues and you want to respond quickly when it does, then the truth is the right way to go: world_continues is likely, and that's how you want to annotate it.
I believe cras assumes we want to respond quickly if the world is ending, because it isn't really ending -- we can save it. That's not what dmk described: he said the world really is ending, so all we can do is say good bye, and it just won't make any difference how slowly we do that.

while(unlikely(is_locked(lock))) cpu_relax();
Although it's likely that the lock is held many times before we can take it, it's more important to run the critical section as fast as possible when it finally gets available.

New movers everywhere face the same challenge: starting from scratch to furnish and decorate an empty new room. To offer a helping hand, we asked three talented blogger-designers to each create rooms from scratch in three different styles: Global Eclectic, New Traditional, and Scandinavian Modern. In round one, they tackled bedrooms. For round two, our designers have created three diverse living room spaces, sourcing everything from IKEA.
Timothy's Scandinavian Modern Living Room
"Creating a fun and energetic living room was really important to me when I recently moved into my new place. Luckily, IKEA is a pretty colorful place! Finding a couple of vibrant accent items to mix in alongside the more neutral base pieces was easy. Mod poppy wall decals add some subtle whimsy."
Kayne's New Traditional Living Room
"This New Traditional living room reflects Ikea's updates to more classic pieces and lines. The roll-arm sofa, a traditional piece, is complemented by the rattan chair, a time-honored material re-imagined in a modern black finish. The rug, reminiscent of an Ikat pattern, brings a graphic element to the space. The plush throw pillows in the "new neutrals", coupled by a lacquered purple serving plate and etched glass table lamp on a modern console table, complete the updated look."
Patrick's Global Eclectic Living Room
"For this room, I thought of a world traveler, a collector, so I liked the idea of creating a space that, while rich with its own character, provided a great backdrop for photography, antique, and tribal pieces picked up along the way. In this room, I've substituted a pair of chaises instead of the expected chairs. I think they'd end up being the most used seats in the house, especially with a drinks table in between, and draped with cozy sheepskins. The best investment you can make for a living room is a clean-lined, straight-armed sofa. I'm a big believer that the bigger the piece, the more neutral it should be. It will end up being like buying a great charcoal or navy suit: you'll get a LOT of life out of it, and you can change the look around it as your tastes change."
Meet the designers:
Originally from Williamsburg, VA, Timothy Minerd started trading comic books for the latest IKEA catalog at an early age. He now works in hospitality and marketing, and enjoys impulsive redecorating, DIY design, and long walks through furniture showrooms.

Divorced Catholics
Psychological abuse is real abuse, and its scars go deeper than physical abuse. My bruises healed. But the feelings that accompanied them took a lot longer to fade. He may be feeling out of control right now and, for a control freak, that can trigger an escalation (hence the increase in unwanted communication). Yes, you are doing the right thing. Just beeeee careful, guard your personal info, don't let him manipulate you, and get that OFP filed if you are afraid of him! Prayers...
Alice - You are very right about the psychological abuse. I did look at the Catholic website, and it DOES list that and verbal abuse as forms of abusing another person, so I feel even more comfortable - no, justified - for what I'm doing as far as throwing every legal tool at him to put a stop to this.
My counselor that I started seeing for my own healing said the same thing - that this type of psychological abuse is much harder to get over.
And, I agree that he is feeling out of control and thus the many texts and email and phone call today. I honestly believe that it will get worse next week when he is sevred with the perps for the restraining order and the additional motion being put in about our daughter limiting all contact with me so he can't use the contact about her to scare/terrorize me.
He has this way of making me feel crazy, like I'm imaginging all this. But, the more time that I am away from him, the more I know I'm not imagining anything, and , I also now understand why my family has been expressing their worry and concern for years. I have called and filed so many police reports, but, if they don't see an actual mark on you, there is nothing they can do. That's why I have chosen to have a private attorney handle this - the police actualky told me that might be the only way to stop it.
It just helps a lot to know someone else has been through this type of thing and I am not the "only one". You sound like you are one "tough cookie" and dealt with it well. I really think that it takes a lot of courage and really admire you for that!
The best advice I had was to go ahead and get an attorney on retainer. Unfortunately, the way the decrees are written, if a child is involved, you'll have to go in every few years to have changes made. This is especially true if there was acrimony. For instance, my divorce decree was written before my son was enrolled in school, yet the attorneys put "after school" in the decree. So, that has to be reexamined now that he is in school - but on a rural route school bus that doesn't have a precise schedule. Financially, it's much easier for me to keep $1000 there with the lawyer and refill as needed than scramble every time something comes up.
Also, it's been much easier for me since I did decide to allow my attorney to handle these things. I've been able to stay calmer when something does come up, and gotten good advice about which things need to be addressed versus which things are just pettiness. I know your child's health and well-being are first and foremost in your mind; I'll be praying for your family.
He has this way of making me feel crazy, like I'm imaginging all this. But, the more time that I am away from him, the more I know I'm not imagining anything...
This is typical. Moving keys, cell phone, my purse around so they weren't where I left them, taking money/credit cards from my wallet, putting spyware on my laptop, telling the priest I'm mentally ill, calling my employer, canceling/rescheduling kids' appointments without telling me... then telling me I must be imagining it, or taking a joke too seriously. It is crazy-making behavior. It's called "gas-lighting" - rent the Hitchcock movie sometime...

It is crazy-making behavior. It's called "gas-lighting" - rent the Hitchcock movie sometime...
Alice, that sounds horrible! But, it does sound very similar to what I have been going through. Gas-lighting - so there is a term for it, huh. Every time I have tried to stand up and stop this, he makes me feel like I am "blowing things out of proportion", like I am a nut. He told the judge I took money from our daughter's callege fund, said I was hooked on illegal drugs, and made himself out to be daddy of the year. Then when no one is looking, he never even sees our daughter and cancels visits in favor of doing his own thing. He does these things, like throwing her a huge birthday party, where people can SEE him being this great dad, but then cancels visits, asks me to get up at 7 to get her ready for a hike, then does not show up until 10, so I'm sitting there with her for hours. He never ever shows up on time to pick her up when he has visits - it's either an hour late or over 30 minutes early, so I don't know when he will be at the front door.
One of the things that the current litigation WILL do is establish for good a public meeting spot for him to pick her up. If he's not there on time, forget it - I'll be leaving. I've been trying to be nice - trying to offer him other time with her and being really cooperative when he asks to see her during times that aren't his, but then he does that stuff of coming hours late, etc. He has a ton of "friends", all of whom I am sure will testify to how is is this wonderful guy being accused of things there's no way he would do.
I think at this point watching that movie might scare the daylights out of me, but I will look up that term. And, keeping the attorney on retainer might actually be LESS expensive than years of therapy. :) I have even thought of hiring a security firm at this point to take over any communication with him....:(
Wow! I am so glad to see I am not alone in dealing with this type of problem! And, yes, Tim, men deal with it too. I guess it was a little bit sexist to say "women".
I thought I would update my post..I prayed and prayed about it, and decided it is time to stand and fight or he will continue to just do as he pleases, not following the court order or parenting plan. I had a conference with my attorney today and we are suing for civil and criminal contempt of court to get the orders enforced. If he won't listen to me, or my attorney or his that he needs to follow what the judge said to do, maybe he will listen with a second trip to court. I sure don't like doing this, though!
Don't worry, Celia. This too will pass, and life will seem, oh so much better!
Don't worry, Celia. This too will pass, and life will seem, oh so much better!
Well, all suits were filed this week and last to rectify some of the damage done..the most important being getting the restraining order OR order of no contact...Tonight I had a little scare. He goes from faux nice and sweet to psycho scary, sometimes within the same hour. I THOUGHT he was not supposed to come near me after the paperwork was filed, but he must not have gotten the memo because I went to pick up my daughter from a dinner he had taken her to. Thought I'd taken all precautions, and had my brother on the phone with me. No sooner than I'd hung up telling my brother I was out with my daughter and we were fine than I heard his voice behind me. He had come out "to bring her her drink that she left"...and there I was, once more, alone in a parking lot with him. I had my mace in my right hand, and in the pther my phone, so I hit my brother's number on speed dial and held the phone behind my back, so that if anything happened or threats on my life or any of his other infamous threats were made, there would be a witness. The restaurant where this dinner was was downtown - notorious for crime. And, I can honestly say I was far more afraid of being alone with him than walking in that parking lot at night alone. Pretty much says it all. Heck at least have a chance of being O.K. with some stranger. With him, I pretty well know how things go. I'll take the stranger ANY day.
The guy is a professional, well liked and respected in his field. No one sees what he is capable of, because it is only when he "loves" (if that's love) you that you are in danger.
NO ONE should have to go through this. Judges should be much harsher. If the judge had believed me last October when the first restraining order was filed, I would not have spent the past year being stalked, threatened, etc. Sorry - just venting. No one here really knows. Only my family and close friends.
If this doesn't end soon, ya'll may be coming to get me out of the loony bin. Hopefully we'll have a court date by next week. For roght now, after tonight, all I can say is that I know God is protecting me. And I guess that is always more than enough.
My divorce and annullment are both final. So, one would THINK that I could, oh, say, maybe not keep my attorney on retainer for the rest of my life!!!!! But, the way my ex is behaving, refusing to comply with court orders, the MDA, refusing to pay medical bills for his daughter just because he does not "like" the way the bill is laid out on paper, every time I turn around, there is something....He did not want to give me our child's insurance card - he has had since April to give it to me, and he just gave it to me October 21. Because he refused to do it, or just decided he did not have to, now there's a huge bill...I had to pay it otherwise she does not get her medicine for a serious medical condition....He did the same thing to me, not paying the COBRA bill as agreed to our MDA, my insurance was cancelled, and now there are over 100K in medical bills....
I do not want to do this, but I have a meeting with my attorney tomorrow. We have threatened and threatened, and now it's time to just put the peddle to the metal and set a court date. I sure do hate to take him back to court, but I am left with no choice but to bring this before a judge.
I am trying so hard not to be upset. It takes a lot to make me angry. But by not giving the insurance card, then refusing to pay this bill, he has put our daughter's health in jeopardy. I texted him to let him know, and his response was "forgive me if I don't lose any sleep over this". OH MY WORD!!!!! Seriously? That is our child's health.
More than anything, I hate to feel like I am being a horse's patooty, but I just don't see any other way. Talking is not working. Has anyone else had to take an ex back to court over non-compliance more than once????? And did i put enough emoticons in here? (Sorry, I like those things. ARGH!!!!!!

The 2009 American Music Awards descended on the Nokia Theatre in LA last night, which meant a star studded red carpet before the big show. It was a pleasant mixture of long and short dresses on all the ladies, though some even found a way to do both simultaneously like Rihanna in her cutout gown. Carrie Underwood has the early lead in Fab's best dressed poll, but Rih is close behind. Alicia Keys stood out in blue while Fergie's high slit meant she showed off some leg as she posed. Nicole Kidman spent most of her red carpet time on the arm of her husband Keith Urban — speaking of which, check out all the guys here.
Shakira and Selena Gomez cozied up for the cameras in their standout short dresses while Demi Lovato sported some bling around her neck. Paula Abdul went all out in her black gown and Carrie Underwood kept it simple and sweet. Find out how to get some of our favorite red carpet looks like Selena and Demi here. Don't forget to vote in all of Fab and Bella's love it or leave it polls, see the full list of winners and stay tuned for more AMA coverage coming up!

Perhaps you have asked yourself the issue, "How can we take the asvab practice test marines"? The very first thing you need to consider whenever taking an exam is the central reason you might be taking this. There's tests in order to gauge your ability to remember facts after that be requested to recall the reality successfully and precisely. There are exams that try out your natural capabilities, like reflexes as well as quickness and also allow you to show your precision in agility along with stamina. We can't disregard just how ways that we tend to be assessed and examined in most little thing all of us do and how small we comprehend fully the reason why there' are happening.
All of us have devoted many years in school studying with regard to tests filled with info that we thought I would almost never use as grownups. It's very vital for you to realize why you take a good exam or even providing your viewpoint for any questionnaire. What is the idea from it? What precisely would you like through the information you discover from this? Time is very precious and losing it for an evaluation that you don't fully understand, might be an error and a waste of resources. The actual ASVAB test is not any different and it is crucial that invest some time to understand anything you may about, to be able to completely understand WHY you're taking Practice ASVAB.
The actual ASVAB exam much more unique than the usual lot of the actual assessments which you may took when proceeding via middle school and senior high school. Excellent distinct functionality rather than simply items to cram with regard to and hope to obtain a minimally passing quality. It could determine design of your feasible a military profession. The test is concentrated and contains one goal:
In order to calculate you're focused as well as lacking abilities.
There are 2 main reasons which any of us think about the ASVAB:
The ASVAB is frequently used in an attempt to assist 11th as well as 12th graders to appraise their useful knowledge and natural psychological talents. Test considers what kind of student might manage to take advantage of certain career pathways based on the way they score on some part within the examination. It can help aid students that is much more solid in math in the direction of a career in mathematics after that it drags from other areas of the test to increase make suggestions in order to more focused careers depending on how well these were able to fully understand that field info. An example of this may be whenever a younger that scores solidly within science and technologies, the ASVAB rating may suggest they focus on their senior year if you take supplemental classes to enhance their chances to get involved with a college more focused upon that expertise.
The actual ASVAB is surely a positive device to let a growing high school student and the parents create a carefully constructed verdict approach continue official education beyond the mature year.

By Mayo Clinic staffIt's not clear what causes spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection causes a superficial tear inside an artery. When the inner layers of the artery separate from the outer layers, blood can pool in the area between the layers. The pressure of the pooling blood can make a short tear much longer. And blood trapped between the layers can form a blood clot.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection may slow blood flow through the artery to the heart, which makes the heart work harder. Or blood flow through the artery can be completely stopped, causing heart muscle to die (heart attack).

Shepard's Shot
The first American spaceflight was a triumph—for an astronaut and for a nation.
- By Tony Reichhardt
- AirSpaceMag.com, May 05, 2011
It only lasted 15 minutes and 28 seconds. But Alan Shepard's Freedom 7 flight—officially designated Mercury-Redstone 3—proved the soundness of man and machine to travel beyond the atmosphere. It also demonstrated that the United States was not far behind the Soviet Union after all in the race to the new frontier of space.
Shepard's May 5, 1961, flight was suborbital: His Mercury capsule popped like a cork to an altitude of 116 miles, then splashed down in the ocean 300 miles east of Cape Canaveral. The astronaut was weightless for about five minutes, and felt no ill effects. Shortly afterward, he told debriefers, "Even though I did not accomplish every single detail that we had planned for the flight, I still did much better than I had originally thought I would."
Encouraged by the Mercury success, President John F. Kennedy proposed, in a speech delivered to Congress on May 25, 1961, that the United States undertake a mission to land a man on the lunar surface. Just 20 days after Shepard's flight, with only 15 minutes of spaceflight under its belt, NASA was on its way to the moon.

Ice cream, yogurt, scones and movies, that's the appetite of an armed robber hitting stores in Sugar House. Several times the robber orders something first.
"When the worker is distracted, they then produce a handgun and demand money," said Sgt. Shawn Josephson, Salt Lake Police Dept.
Police believe the same person may have recently robbed the Red Mango 1511 E. 2100 S., Baskin Robbins 1465 E. 2100 S., the Yogurt Stop 2153 E. 2100 S., Movies 10 2227 S. Highland Dr., Sconecutter 2100 S. State St., and Alchemy Coffee 17th S. 4th E. So far police don't know if the robber is a man or a woman, but that's actually helping investigators link the crimes together.
"Most people have indicated it is a male until this person spoke and then they described the voice as a female," said Josephson.
One of the victims of this he/she robber said it was a frightening experience.
"I thought I was safe coming to work, now I'm not so sure," said Ashley Jewel, Yogurt Stop employee.
Police are afraid of what happens the next time this robber gets hungry.
"It just takes one more bad decision to create something even worse than a robbery when someone is injured or killed," said Josephson.
Here's are a description of who police are looking for -
Police tell ABC 4 the robber is between 5'8" - 5'11", with a thin/medium build, shoulder length brown hair, and a high pitched voice.
If this person sounds familiar to you call Salt Lake Police at 799-3000.

As many home buyers in town are likely to have noticed, there aren't too many for sales signs around anymore.
According to a report released Friday by the Austin Board of Realtors, home sales in the area remain strong and have continued to rise for 19 months straight.
"It's a lack of availability," home buyer Daren Nix said. "There's such a tight market."
Those are some of the challenges Daren Nix is facing as he searches for a home for his family.
"When you find something or see something you like, you have to be able to move quickly," Nix said.
Daren's realtor, Debbie Harmon, says she's seeing multiple offers on houses in a short amount of time.
"I went to see a house a few days ago that had just come on the market," she said. "I called to get the code to get in, and the agent said we already have two offers on the house and it hadn't even been on two hours."
To give you even more insight on how fast homes are moving, a report from the Austin Board of Realtors shows 1,828 homes were sold in December. That's a 17 percent increase over last year.
"There's not a better time to buy a house now because of interest rates and because of how Austin is growing," Harmon said. "Right now, we're thinking prices will only get higher. They've gone up significantly just in the last few months."
The latest median price for a single home is right around $210,000.
"We would be in a seller's market," Harmon said. "We're in one right now."
Fortunately for Nix, he's not only a buyer, he'll soon be a seller as well.
"Getting our house ready to sell, we just had to do a lot of kind of minor things, updates and repairs that are needed so that when we put it on the market, it will be ready and hopefully sell a little quicker," Harmon said.

This is an oral history interview with former NASA astronaut Vance Brand. In addition to three space shuttle missions, Vance was also a member of the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz mission – the first meeting in space between American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts. In this interview, Brand talks about why this co-mission was important, what it was like learning from and training with the Soviets, and how the two spacecrafts eventually rendezvoused. This discussion was part of the NASA Johnson Space Center's Oral History Project.

SAGINAW -- It's a tough road ahead for new Saginaw police chief Brian Lipe. Come July 1st, Saginaw will lose 12 police officers due to budget cuts.
"He's demonstrated that he can give leadership to a downsized department," says Darnell Earley, Saginaw city manager. "It will be a challenge but I'm confident he possess the skill to do that," adds Earley.
It's a challenge Lipe's dealt with for the past 10 months as acting chief but he says new initiatives will help him do more with less.
"We're developing a good plan for that. We're trying to introduce new technologies to assist us with that," says the new chief.
Those new initiatives include using social media and creating an online portal for neighbors to report crime.
"Things like that, getting that out there, getting that on a website, if it's Twitter or Facebook---whatever our P.I.O (public information officer) develops will really help us out, help the citizens out," says the new top cop.
"How are they going to do more with less?, questions Jim, a Saginaw resident. "That's contradicting itself right there," he adds.
"They talking (sic) about laying off officers and stuff. Nah, it ain't gonna work," says Ozell Lewis, another skeptical neighbor.
"I've heard enough over my career that we're not trusted by citizens or a certain segment of citizens and I think that by improving image and communication, we can affect that," says Lipe.
"Give us a chance to show it," adds Earley.

In 2005, world leaders at the G8 summit in Scotland pledged support for universal AIDS treatment coverage by 2010, a promise that encouraged many African governments to launch ambitious treatment programs and that helped to expand coverage to more than 4 million people in developing countries. And now those same leaders are retreating from the pledges made, leaving governments and millions of people with HIV/AIDS at a dangerous loss.
The crisis is far from over. An estimated ten million people living with HIV/AIDS in the developing world are in urgent clinical need of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death among women of child-bearing age worldwide and accounts for more than 40 percent of deaths of children under the age of five in the six highest HIV prevalence countries, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Eighty percent of all deaths in Botswana and two-thirds of all deaths in Lesotho, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe are due to AIDS.
The US President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR), which has provided funding for treatment for 2 million people since its inception in 2003—and which has pledged to treat a total of 4 million by 2013—is capping funding for two more years. MSF and others are starting to see disturbing early signs of the international community's retreat from AIDS treatment scale-up. In some African countries disproportionately affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, people seeking treatment are being turned away from clinics. Patients already receiving ARV therapy are being forced to interrupt their treatment because they can no longer afford it, thus increasing their chances of becoming sick and developing resistance to drugs. In Free State Province, South Africa, alone, an estimated 3,000 people with HIV/AIDS died when funding problems led to a moratorium on treatment.
The lack of funding increases to provide treatment for the millions of people living with HIV/AIDS come at a time when MSF medical teams—providing ARV therapy to 140,000 patients in 30 countries—are witnessing an urgent need for an increase in funding—to scale up access to treatment, to provide patients with the more robust and better-tolerated treatments that are widely available in wealthy countries, and to provide better adapted pediatric formulations.
In one of the longest running public sector AIDS treatment programs in Africa, a partnership between MSF and the Department of Health in Khayelitsha, South Africa, 16 percent of patients experienced treatment failure on their first-line regimen within five years. A quarter of those patients who were switched to a second-line regimen failed on this alternative treatment line within two years. With no third-line regimen available in South Africa—as is the case in many other developing countries—these patients are now at risk of dying.
Furthermore, WHO's new guidelines for preventing and treating the disease recognize, among other recommendations, the health benefits of starting people living with HIV on ARV treatment sooner. With few signs of the international commitment to make these new guidelines a reality, there is little hope that what has become a chronic disease in developed countries will stop anytime soon from amounting to a death sentence for the majority of those living with HIV/AIDS in the poorest of countries.
MSF is calling for governments to fulfill their commitments to provide access to life-saving AIDS treatment for every person in need and to fully fund the fight against AIDS, including through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria. Additional funds are needed to address a number of health priorities. Innovative new funding mechanisms, such as a tax on currency transactions, could be used to protect public health around the world.

Bench Racing Ammo: No Bad Races?
Wednesday, February 6, 2013 | 2:35 PMWith five rounds down, Red Bull KTM's Ken Roczen has yet to miss a podium. He took second at the first three, and he's won the last two in a row. Thanks to his dazzling consistency, he now enjoys a 20-point lead over Eli Tomac in second place. How long can he keep this up? Will he be on the podium for the rest of the Western Regional 250SX series? To get some perspective, we dug into the stats and looked at how many times the eventual 250SX champion has missed the podium in points-paying races in the last ten years. We've also made a note of it when the champ's result was fifth or worse on the night he missed the podium.
East Justin Barcia – on podium eight of nine times
West Eli Tomac – seven of nine. DNF'd San Diego
East Barcia – nine of nine
West Broc Tickle – seven of nine
Trey Canard missed the podium three times en route to his 2008 East Region title.
Andrew Fredrickson photo
East Christophe Pourcel – six of eight. Seventh in Dallas, DNF'd St. Louis
West Jake Weimer – six of eight. Eighth at A3, fifth in Salt Lake City
East Pourcel – six of eight. Fifth in St. Louis
West Ryan Dungey – six of eight
East Trey Canard – four of seven. Tenth in Detroit
West Jason Lawrence – six of eight. Fifth in Phoenix, DNF'd A2
East Ben Townley – five of seven. DNF'd Atlanta, seventh in Orlando
West Ryan Villopoto – eight of eight.
East Davi Millsaps – seven of seven
West Grant Langston – six of eight. Fifteenth in San Francisco
East Langston – five of seven. Fifteenth in Daytona
West Ivan Tedesco – six of eight. Eighth at A1, Eighth in Houston
Ben Townley would miss the podium twice in 2007 on his way to the East Region title.
Simon Cudby photo
East James Stewart – six of seven. Undefeated in every race he lined up for, Stewart sat Indy out this year after crashing hard in practice.
West Tedesco – eight of eight
East Branden Jesseman – six of seven. Sixth in Pontiac
West James Stewart – eight of eight
The numbers above tell us that it's rare for the champion to finish on the box at every single race. In fact, it's only been done five times in the twenty championships listed here (Justin Barcia in the East in 2011, Ryan Villopoto in the West in 2007, Davi Millsaps on the East in 2006, Ivan Tedesco in the West in 2004 and James Stewart on the West in 2003).
The most common number of missed boxes by the champ is two, which, in the data above, happens exactly 50 percent of the time.
Can Roczen continue his podium run in San Diego?
Simon Cudby photo
The most podiums missed in a single season by the champ is three. Trey Canard did that in his rookie year in 2008 with four podium appearances in seven attempts.
History tells us that most champs run into at least a little bit of trouble on their way to the title, but right now Tomac needs Roczen to make a sizable mistake. How often does that happen? In the twenty championships above, there have been twelve instances where the series champion made significant blunders throughout the course of the season. That's a fair amount, but it's not enough frequency to declare it a rule. Will Roczen make it through the whole season without a big mistake, and essentially lock everyone out of title contention? Take a look at the stats above and tell us what interesting trends and facts you see in the data.

The Conversation
Roczen wins one more and ends up standing on the top step of the championship podium and no one will ever be able to argue his place in the record books.
The naysayers and "what-ifers" need to heed a saying we have down South: "If your Aunt had balls, then she would have been your Uncle."
I wanted Tomac to repeat more than anyone, but it looks like it isn't going to happen.
I agree foundwood - roczen looks too strong and too comfortable out there right now...and Eli, i have said it, countless people have, makes his onw bad luck with less than stellar starts. - Roczen is a smart kis and I think if he is going toe to toe with ELI and feels a bit uncomfortable will back it down a notch for a second - which Eli cannot afford to do. 4 races 20 points? good luck Eli - the real problem lies in that apart from the spotty (at best) Davalos, the inconsistent Seely and the fast but yet to podium Jason Anderson there is no one out there that can get in between Eli and Roczen. It has not been done thus far.
Smart kid...
Been rooting for Roczen since he first came over......like his style and demeanor. His still young, but is having a great deal of success early. If he sticks with Roger he will be a force for many years to come. i See him and Tomac having many battles in the Big Boy class really soon.....Keep on two wheels KRoc this series needs a little Euro flair.
Sorry Davalos did just this past weekend - I am an idiot - signing out now.
I think we kinda need to look at 1st and 2nd here to get a better idea. How often has the Champ made a error but it was ok because 2nd was no where to contest? Or really how often has second come back from a sizable defect and how late in the season did it happen? How often does history actually repeat itself? How does the sun set? How exactly does a posi-trac rear-end on a Plymouth work?
To many ways to look at the numbers here! Thanks for the article but I think I am going to dig around in the Vault a bit since I have my mind spinning like crazy right now.
Kenny is looking good out there this season. I guess the big difference in his performance from the past is that he is having fun now, more relaxed and more focused.
Losing this title won't hurt Tomac one little bit. His career is pointed straight up.
As for K-Roc, euromike needed him to win this title desperately.
carlsbad- if Ken does win the title, we will never hear the end of it from euromike.
Qualifying for the night show alone is enough for euromike to run his mouth.
All the more reason for Kenny to win it. These forums ate getting a little stale. Bring on EuroMike
Euromike can run his mouth all he wants. He had to be right eventually after years of being wrong. Even dummies get something right once in a while ;)
LOL! Thanks guys, for not letting me down. I just knew that either Mike himself, or someone that thought of him, would bring him up. Like him or not, he is part of this forum too. Hopefully the favorable comments here won't deter his attitude. His initial complaint was that we didn't give enough credit to the euro's. K R and M M are well liked here, for the most part, I believe.
Maybe Ripdown was right, it was getting a little stale around here, euromike will definitely liven things up!
Musquin and Roczen are incredible, so it's not really worth arguing with him. ha ha
@ notreed
Here you go PUNK !
Jlaw and lil Honey look stoned Lol !
Just look at their eyes!
@ meankx
ya the eyes....and the haze / smoke in the picture.....blaze on boys! But stay the hell off the track

Mother Fuuucker
Every body was saying that Tomac is going to win every race. He has the championship on look down. Them boom he hits the deck.
Now everyone is saying the same about Kenny..... We will see. However mistakes are to unpredictable.
so in the words of foundwood ..."if your aunt had balls she'd be euromike"...hare krisna M'fer...
Roczen is a World Champion. He knows how to navigate a championship and all the pressure and challenges that can pop up along the way. That maturity, combined with the points lead he now enjoys are going to be difficult for Tomac to overcome.
Mxbob and Blow C remind me of the Burritto as big as your Butt !!!
Short series, young mistake prone riders, lots of champions have survived bad races and even DNF's. Now, let's look at what consistent top 5's do for riders in the 450 class. Or when was the last time a 450 championship has been won by a rider who finished outside the top 10, 2 or more times in a season?
@JBryant - 2012 Poto Last year of course missing multiple mains. 1998 - MC finished outside top 10 twice.
They are the only 2 times in the past 20 years it has happen.
@groundy056: Nice job with the homework! MC could have DNF'd two more races that year and still won! And RV with a DNF and two missed rounds is huge – but who didn't miss rounds last year? (Davi didn't even crack the top 5 until Atlanta.) And RV still l won the championship by more than 2 races! Crazy year last year...
This year, only Dungey, Millsaps, Short, and Trey have yet to miss the top ten. Millsaps, all top 5's so far...
We will see how nervous Kenny can get. It could be not at all or, if he's human, very much so. We shall see. I think it affected Eli in Vegas two years ago.
Not hearing anything out of Eli. He must be rattled.
K-Roc would need an EPIC melt down to blow this title. I still hope he ride the 350 for the east rounds. Could get in there for sure and take some points.
I'm just busting euromike. I like Roczen a lot. Not for the reasons euromike does, but I think his future here is bright.
I wonder if KTM has another 450 rider in mind for immediate hire or are they going to wait for K-Roc & MM to move up? They each have another two years in class if I'm not mistaken.
As for euromike, a lot of what he says is just inflammatory, so I try not to take the bait. I like a lot of the euro racers (and Aussies & SA's too), I just don't think they're the be-all, end-all of the MX scene. Certainly not SX.
As I've posted before, I think a TRANS-AMA-type race that crossed the Atlantic and gave each rider / team / etc a fair chance would be the best. I just need to find someone to bankroll & promote it....
@ BillC, that is an enormous gamble for KTM & GEICO. I understand E.T. is moving up and his growth makes his move pretty much necessary, but KTM wants this 250W title bad and the risks might outweigh the rewards.
I think racers should race, but I'm not a decision-maker for these teams and I have zero at stake.
Interesting points. I have noted Roc and Tomac have had practice lap times equal to and faster than the fastest 450 guys. Those two guys riding 450's on the break could cause huge point fluctuations if they finish somewhere in the 2-4th place positions. Tomac certainly showed at the Monster Cup he is fast and Roczen has shown blazing speed as well. Those two are men among boys in the 250 class.
The gamble is keep practicing to avoid greater chance of injury OR keep racing to stay combat ready. Difficult call.
I am wondering if Roczen riding any east coast rounds would be wise choice. The kid is half way through a title chase, not to sure about taking unnecessary chances.
@CZMark: I feel the same way. Why risk anymore possibilities when you have such potential, so near. Unless I have missed something here on these boards (which would not be the first) I can't see Ken, or anyone in RB/KTM that would think the benefits of riding a few 450 rounds would out-way the risks of your 1st 250cc Monster World Championship Supercross.
I bet if you sat Ken, Kelly, Roger, Ken's Parents, (and most probably God included), down, they would all say, "Have you completely lost touch of your faculties, Man???..."
KR could get wacked into 20ft off the line in his next heat race and be out. I suggest we do what KR and ET will be doing and just take it one race at a time.
Note in case the above is prescient: KR never said he had it in the bag.
LOVE to see KR on the 350, but hard to believe anyone will think that's a good idea at this point. But who could argue with DeCoster? If he feels keeping KR uptempo and his mind off the 250 championship, maybe he OKs it. Not a lot more risk than 'effen up at the practice track.
Good comments alll I like the odds of Ken pulling it off! Those of us that have raced know anythng and I mean anything can happen! So I learned a long time ago to not count my cookies till they hatch, By the way go into a store and ask the workers , it usually works best to go to a wall mart and ask someone with the blue vest on "Where do you keep the Chickens in a shell?" Most of those people think chocklate milk comes from a brown cow also?? Wait this is a motocross site! Why did someone mention J-law and Hansen in the same sentance???
@Rickamatuzio: Stranger things have happened in the world for sure, as some 250 riders go big in the Eastern rounds. That said, I would be more surprised to see Ken Roczen show up on a 350, than not. True, racing helps keep that edge, but when you have all that he has to lose, with one little incident, that could eliminate him from (possibly) obtaining his number one goal, that being a shot at the Championship, (which just so happens to be why he came all this way), sounds like a risky bet, in my opinion. What does he (need) to prove, that he's not already done during the MXdN in Lommel. This is why I don't like predictions, it's all speculation, I cannot read crystal balls.
I will leave that stuff up to you guys who can.
PS: I would be much less surprised to see Eli aboard a 450 as that is where he is going this summer. And...he is 20 points down on the first place rider. Which is getting more risky as each race finds him in less than first. So, I expect to see him, and frankly would be totally surprised to (not) see Eli aboard a 450.
Ken Roczen, not so much, maybe, but I ain't bett'n on that dog, in that hunt!

BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) - China's growing economy threatens to harm its poorestneighbors, as low-cost products swamp the markets of countries such as Bhutan andBangladesh, leaving exporters there with few profitable lines of business, according to aUnited Nations Development Program (UNDP) report cited by the Wall Street Journal.The report said that the least developed countries in Asia have liberalized their marketsmuch more than poor countries elsewhere, but they have failed to match China'ssuccess.'We appreciate the stunning growth performance of China, which is a source ofinspiration for others,' the newspaper quoted UN assistant secretary-general HafizPasha as saying.'(But the poorest Asian countries) are vulnerable to competition from Chinese imports,while they are also unable to access the Chinese market because they don't haveproducts that China needs, like high-tech and capital goods,' he added.The UNDP report argued that the growing strength of China's low-cost production ofgoods like shoes and furniture poses a much bigger problem to poorer countries thatdepend on heavily on lower-end industries than to producers from the US and Europe,who have complained that they are being unfairly priced out of the market, thenewspaper said.Citing Pasha, the newspaper said the UNDP is looking at a two-pronged solution,involving providing aid to affected countries to find new industries to support theireconomies, and encouraging wealthier nations -- including China - to give special tradetreatment to products of the poorest countries.
