You wouldn´t need border security if our internal policies were correct beginning with the denial of welfare for anyone who´s snuck in this country.Make illegal immigration a felony disqualifying people from getting student loans. In other words cut off their money supply and they´ll go back home on their own.The birth rite amendment was to assure recently freed slaves had citizenship rights,nothing to do with anchor baby tourists dropping in.

The border is useless if you have by policy a ´sanctuary county´ where the law is ignored. That´s why yet another ´amnesty program´ is useless. It will be just like 1986 all over again. Click Here if you Like this Comment

You need only see the signs warning US citizens to stay out of an area near the border because it is unsafe to realize that the border is not safe in any way.see story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKJ3m-_HWGI Click Here if you Like this Comment
If the border is secure, why do we have all these illegals in this country? Whey are they caught everyday driving down the interstate? Why is there no English at any construction site in America? Why do we have to publish everything in mulitple languages now, English usually being second? Click Here if you Like this Comment
The secure border is worthless as Obama ignores laws and will just declare it secure.We need to make illegal immigrants felons and amend the constitution to end anchor babies. Click Here if you Like this Comment

I think Napolitano uses "secure" much as Bill Clinton used "is". Does she mean secure, as in tight and impenetrable? Secure, as in border crossings pose no threat? I would have more faith in her meaning if the cartels weren´t flowing in and out, while they plant crops in our national parks and kidnap and threaten US citizens in our own border towns.

Boloney, if the borderline was secure at least half the illegal alien population would not be here now. To the other half of the illegal alien population, especially most of the women and children, borderline security was always irrelevant, as they came into the USA with a either some sort of temporary visa, or border crossing card, issued to them by the US Dept. of State in their home countries. After entering the USA they simply stayed and have been using some sort of bogus or fraudulent US identification papers to get hired to American jobs. Some have assumed the identity of or are posing as US citizens. Since Obama was elected and decided to no longer enforce the immigration laws, 11 to 20 million illegal aliens have been living here without fear of ever being deported.The real showdown will depend on if the wimpy Republicans have decided to surrender this issue to the liberal Democrats, by going along with a liberal Democrat "path to citizenship" amnesty for just about all the illegal aliens here now, that will essentially hand the Democrats 10 million or so new voters in the next few years. If that happens that Republican share of the so-called Hispanic vote may jump up from 27% to 32% or so, but that will not matter, because with their millions of new voters the Democrats will be able to change the political balance in enough states to ensure that the wimpy Republicans will have committed long-term political suicide, no longer ever again to win national elections. As Joe Biden would say, this is a big f****** deal. Click Here if you Like this Comment
When property owners and BP agents are murdered by ILLEGALS and when the Federal Government has placed signs warning tourists to stay out of America´s own National Parks along the border, ...or ANYPLACE else, thepotential of danger to everyone has already been decided!!! Now is the time to return safety to American citizens, their personal property and to public lands, National Parks which belong to U.S.A. citizens EQUALLY! ...And clean up the mess left strewn behind by ILLEGALS throughout formerly pristine rural lands.

We need a comprehensive immigration policy, and we already have one.Simply enforce--fully and to the letter of the law--the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act, INS, Act of 1965, Pub.L. 89–236), for at least six months.Revisit the Fourteenth Amendment, especially the clause "under the jurisdiction of" which was misinterpreted in a footnote to an unrelated case, by a Supreme Court Justice writing the dissent to a ruling, thereby "creating" birthright citizenship.Severely restrict our lenient "sanctuary" system to people who are actually persecuted in their home country, not including economic migrants.Most importantly, any criminal alien invader should never "profit" from breaking the spirit of the law by trespassing into this country, if they receive any permanent status, they should be forever forbidden to apply or receive government benefits or bring additional family members, who have not qualified on their own for immigration status.

Half term: Can you seahorses?
16 - 24 Feb 2013 – All Day
A brand new seahorse exhibit opens for February half term.
Males that give birth, females who perform romantic dances, and couples that form life-long relationships are just some of the fascinating behaviours visitors will see at ZSL London Zoo's brand-new Seahorses exhibit this half term.
Opening on 16 February, Seahorses will be home to 172 long and short-snouted seahorses, both of which are the focus of ZSL London Zoo conservation breeding programmes.
Bringing its historic location right up-to-date, the Seahorses exhibit features cutting edge technology, allowing ZSL London Zoo's team of aquarists to continue their phenomenally successful breeding projects for these rapidly declining species.
Leading the way in seahorse breeding, ZSL London Zoo has bred hundreds of seahorses in the past four years, with more than 300 individuals moving on to join other breeding groups across Europe.
With eight bespoke holding tanks, Seahorses will show visitors the various stages of the seahorse lifecycle, with special curved tanks for the fry (seahorse babies), different tanks for juveniles and separate tanks for each of the mating pairs, who like a bit of privacy.
ZSL's team of presenters will be revealing Seahorse Secrets every day during half term, with a daily talk about these remarkable creatures, including what seahorses have in common with monkeys and chameleons!
Facing habitat loss due to fishing and trawling in the wild, seahorses are increasingly threatened and breeding programmes are important for not only increasing their numbers in Zoos but giving conservationists the opportunity to learn more about these species to apply to the wild projects.
Animal talks: "Men at Work"
Find out all about dads of the animal kingdom in our daily animal talks this half term. From male penguins who look after the eggs, to attentive tamarin monkey fathers, and male seahorses who give birth to the young, get all the facts in our fun, interactive talks.
- 11.15am - Megabugs
- 12 noon - Big Fish in the Aquarium
- 1.30pm - Storytelling The Tipi Animal Adventure. Let the presenters guide you through the world of dads in nature in this interactive storytelling session.
- 2.00pm - Its A Frog's Life!
- 2.30pm - Seahorse Secrets in the Aquarium: hear all the secrets of these amazing underwater animals, including what they have in common with a monkey and a chameleon…
- 2.30pm - Rainforest Live! It's the hottest place to be this winter.
- 3.00pm - Giraffe High Tea (in the giraffe house)
Visitors will also be able to watch Penguin Beach Live! happening at 11.30am and 1.30pm daily.

CAC proposal will be unveiled. With current enrollment figures now being stabilized, the district will be able to report on how the district looks now and the outlook for the future. ^ Other alternate proposals which were widely discussed at that time will also come up for discussion. These included an alternate plan which would involve keeping all buildings open with the closing of wings in those buildings. Another which will be reviewed with cost figures was a proposal to consider conversion to a Kindergarten through 8, and 9through 12 organizational plan; " this would involve die eventual closing of both junior high schools. In the latter plan, the cost of converting elementary classrooms into the specialized spaces required for junior high school, needed to be considered. Basically, the Superintendent's recommendation last May would involve the closing of Parkway Oaks School in 1976, with no additional closings proposed until 1979. At that time, the Northside School might be closed and a wing at Woodward Parkway shut down. The plan also indicated the possibility of closing the Mill Lane Junior High School the following year.

Wow. I didnt think Yoda could go more than a day without a revelation.
Kingston, Jamaica |
What is your understanding of the word ethnic. |
rabbee: it is the main cult, from which all the beatniks, hipnicks, jazzniks, bopniks, bugniks, jewnicks, christnicks and other splinter adam and evenick cults come from. |
"Legumes of the World Unite " Since: Sep 11 4,906 Location hidden |
The answer is 42. |
Well, in that case, I'm all for them keeping to themselves. Many would be considered socially awkward anyway so they would probably want to be among their own kind - the socially inept. You could be their leader. Would you like that? |
So what and whom do you trust? Multiple sources is the way to go IMHO. What say you? |
You forgot Huggybear. Or maybe not :) |
That sounds ugly and hateful. Is that they way you are? I never said it had to do with genes but it might. Experts disagree but it is clearly not a choice, except maybe in prison but then it is not who they are but simply what they are doing at the time. As in "any old port in a storm." These words were written by men you fool. What does this mean? Judgmental, small-minded words from a 3rd world idiot. All due respect of course. Homosexuality is not a disease anymore than heterosexuality is. Dummy. You said above that he did. If not, who did. Your mom? |
"Act Interdimensional ly" Since: Jan 08 5,935 Singapore -- Home of Hot |
Yes, but what is the question? |
Kingston, Jamaica |
HughBe ---what is your understanding of the word ethnic. Frijoles---The answer is 42. HughBe---I thought it was 24 |
Kingston, Jamaica |
Frijoles---You crack me up You REALLY think that Mensa people are more sophisticated? Hint- FR, COR and I all qualify to be members. And I suspect so does Rick Moss. Former---You forgot Huggybear. Or maybe not HughBe--- Correct, Former. He is speaking about the lower stream of Mensa. Keep in mind that when you look up you are able to see me in the higher/top stream. |
rabbee: well one of you, is dyslexic. |
Kingston, Jamaica |
HughBe--- No doubt in your world it is like you being WHITE. In my world there is a difference between you being white which is a function of GENES while your homosexual ways have nothing to do GENES. Instead it has to do with a CORRUPTED mind.
Former---That sounds ugly and hateful. Is that they way you are? HughBe--- Strange comment. I find nothing UGLY with being white and NO, I am not white. Former---I never said it had to do with genes but it might. HughBe--- So what is your flocking point? Being white is not a choice it is determined by GENES. Any form of sex has to do with choice unless you are a PSYCHOTIC. Former--- Experts disagree but it is clearly not a choice, except maybe in prison but then it is not who they are but simply what they are doing at the time. As in "any old port in a storm." HughBe--- It is clear only to those with an UNCLEAN agenda and desire. Former---Do not believe everything your preacher and your "sacred" texts tell you. HughBe--- What a flocking idiotic question. I don't esteem the opinion of any man. On the other hand I believe every God Almighty thing in the Tanach and the NT. Former---These words were written by men you fool. HughBe--- Listen well ANUS, do you understand the difference between a scribe and an author? Tell me the difference. HughBe--- Some will say that you were and are a mistake but be comforted God did not make you. Former---God did not make man? HughBe--- God did not make YOU. God made a man. Former---What does this mean? HughBe--- Please identify the words that are giving you a challenge. Former---I am speaking of the specific sins of gay people. HughBe--- Every sin is a sin. The sin of homosexuality SHALL always be a sin. Your fellows can call it acts of righteousness if they want to but it shall always be a sin. Former---Judgmental, small-minded words from a 3rd world idiot. HughBe--- My guess is that it makes you feel superior to call me 3rd world. In my mind there is one world and there are Flockers like you everywhere. On the other hand, if you were not as STUPID you would have known that even in your neck of the hole there are people who share my views. So 3rd world is irrelevant. By the way, no man-made classification that is used and or created by those who desire to elevate themselves above their true lesser state is meaningful to me e.g. 3 rd world and 1st world. Former---Gay people do not make the choice to be gay. HughBe--- Prove your LIE. Cite the scientific evidence that says that homosexuality is traced to a gene. Have you ever heard about diabetes? Can it be traced to genes? Former--Homosexuality is not a disease anymore than heterosexuality is. Dummy. HughBe--- Speaking about DUMMY. The language is above your head. I did not call homosexuality a disease. I have been speaking about things that are determined by genes e.g. RACE/white and this is NOT a disease.

Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything (42)[edit] The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. In the first novel and radio series, a group of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings demand to learn the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything from the supercomputer, Deep Thought, specially built for this purpose. It takes Deep Thought 7½ million years to compute and check the answer, which turns out to be 42. Deep Thought points out that the answer seems meaningless because the beings who instructed it never actually knew what the Question was. When asked to produce The Ultimate Question, Deep Thought says that it cannot; however, it can help to design an even more powerful computer that can. This new computer will incorporate living beings into the "computational matrix" and will run for ten million years. It is revealed as being the planet Earth, with its pan-dimensional creators assuming the form of mice to observe its running. The process is hindered after eight million years by the unexpected arrival on Earth of the Golgafrinchans and then is ruined completely, five minutes before completion, when the Earth is destroyed by the Vogons to make way for a new Hyperspace Bypass. In The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, this is revealed to have been a ruse: the Vogons had been hired to destroy the Earth by a consortium of psychiatrists, led by Gag Halfrunt, who feared for the loss of their careers when the meaning of life became known.[1] Lacking a real question, the mice decide not to go through the whole thing again and settle for the out-of-thin-air suggestion "How many roads must a man walk down?" from Bob Dylan's song "Blowin' in the Wind". At the end of the radio series, the television series and the novel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Arthur Dent, having escaped the Earth's destruction, potentially has some of the computational matrix in his brain. He attempts to discover The Ultimate Question by extracting it from his brainwave patterns, as abusively[2] suggested by Ford Prefect, when a Scrabble-playing caveman spells out forty two. Arthur pulls random letters from a bag, but only gets the sentence "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?" "Six by nine. Forty two." "That's it. That's all there is." "I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe"[1] Six times nine is actually fifty-four. The program on the "Earth computer" should have run correctly, but the unexpected arrival of the Golgafrinchans on prehistoric Earth caused input errors into the systemcomputing (because of the garbage in, garbage out rule) the wrong questionthe question in Arthur's subconscious being invalid all along.[1] |
Judged: 1 I was obviously referring to the "corrupted mind" comment. You do enjoy your silly games, much like a child. Psychosis is detachment from reality which is the definition of one who thinks being gay is a choice when clearly (like being straight) it is not. So that makes you psychotic. It is clear to anyone with brain who does their own thinking and doesn't accept words, rules, laws, truths written by old men thousands of years ago. Sure I do. But you have not one shred of evidence these words were dictated by your god almighty or that he ever did or does now exist. You are truly lost. You are correct. Idiots can live anywhere. I shouldn't have blamed it on your geography. Is where you were born a choice or an accident of birth? Were you created in Jamaica? Oh, ok. It sure sound like you were comparing homosexuality with a disease. I stand corrected. I believe that changed over 40 years ago. Is it ok if we evolve and learn as we go? We also used to burn witches and hang black people from trees. Was that also correct? You did not exist one day and then you did. You were created. Why do you play games? What is your point? Do you even know? |

Mongolia River Outfitters provides guided fly-fishing adventures for Taimen, Amur trout, and lenok. We started fly-fishing in Mongolia back in 1991 and have run extraordinary Mongolia adventures since 1993.
Each autumn we are able to offer a few international guests exclusive access to the only river in the world protected specifically for taimen.
With nearly two hundred miles of blue ribbon water to fish and phenomenal numbers of large Amur trout and Mongolian lenok, this may be some of the planet's best trout fishing. Lenok and Amur trout will average 18 - 22 inches. Anglers commonly net more than thirty of these large trout in a single day on dries. In this fly-fishing sanctuary, a sunny afternoon drifting hoppers to dozens of twenty-inch trout is only a bonus.
The object of desire for most anglers is the exotic taimen. Watching these massive salmonids explode the surface of a wild Mongolian river to hammer a well-presented fly is unquestionably one of the world's most incredible angling experiences.
Every season, we catch and release hundreds of big, healthy taimen. Most taimen will measure in the thirty inch range and several will come in over forty inches (1m). We regularly encounter taimen in the fifty to sixty inch bracket (1.5 m). These are the river's largest and most elusive fish.
Diligent stewardship helps keep the taimen and trout fishing this good. We've worked in partnership with local communities to conserve this river since the 1990's. With the support of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), six counties and Mongolia River Outfitters signed an agreement in early 2008 to establish world's first Taimen Sanctuary. This is the only river in Mongolia designated "catch and release" for all anglers and "fly-fishing only" for all international anglers. The use of treble hooks, motorboats, construction of permanent tourism infrastructure, introduction of hatchery fish, commercial forestry and mining are each prohibited within the 200 mile (320 kilometer) sanctuary.
We have thirteen private, streamside fly-fishing camps located within the Taimen Sanctuary. These are some of the best camps, guides and staff in the business. The camps are accessed via three separate bush airstrips. On upper river trips, guests are accommodated in ger (yurt) camps with vehicle support. On the more remote lower river float trips, guests are accommodated in very comfortable tent camps. The camps are each dismantled at the end of the season, leaving no trace.
Anglers fish from a fleet of imported Clackacraft drift boats. The taimen and trout fishing is a combination of drift and wade, much like spending a day on the Yellowstone. Anglers fish a new stretch of river daily, with anglers and guides floating directly from streamside taimen camps to fish fresh water. This "no drive" schedule maximizes fishing time, allows guests to explore a variety of water without shuttling, and keeps the river fresh. Upon arrival at the next downstream camp, the staff has your bags waiting, the bed made, the fire lit and dinner prepared.
In Mongolia, international anglers can now only fish with a government approved outfitter. We are fortunate to have long-term agreements designating Mongolia River Outfitters as the only outfitter who can legally access the Taimen Sanctuary. We have a departure limit of six - eight anglers per excursion and generally offer fewer than six trips each autumn. That means that every section of river is usually fished less than three days each year. Seasonal angler numbers are kept low to maintain the river, the fish and the experience. Because of this unique opportunity, many guests return each year to fish with us.
We run trips on this river only during early autumn. Mongolia's fishing season legally opens June 15 after the taimen spawn. Mongolia's rainy season is July - August. By late August the river is clearing and the fishing is peaking. By the end of October, Mongolia is starting to get too cold for fishing.
If you're interested in joining one of these amazing adventures, please contact us. We're more than happy to send additional information and/or set up a time to call you and talk about the trips.

"Great with two drawbacks"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
My room's plumbing was poor. The water in the tub and the sinks drained too slowly, to the point that it could be unsanitary. Also, do NOT pull into the parking lot if you're pulling a trailer. The parking lot does NOT stretch all the way around, and there isn't enough room to back out a trailer if the lot is full, which it is for the most part. I recommend parking a rig with trailer across the street at the OfficeMax parking lot, where you have plenty of room to turn around if need be.

"Excellent Hotel For My Purpose - Business"
I stayed here for recurring business travel to Omaha. The location was fine - a little further than my usual but not bad. The area was suburban feeling with strip malls, restuarants and grocery stores. Perfect for me, I was able to easily grab dinner each night and utilized a nail salon within walking distance one evening. The staff at this Hampton […] was extrememly friendly upon check in and was also helpful when I needed toothpaste once and a second time I was in need of a spoon. The rooms are typical Hampton which I love. Charging stations near the lamp base, free WiFi, decent television chanel selection, duvet covers instead of comfortors, nice bathroom with good water pressure. If I am forced to pick on one thing I would say this place really appeals to families, which is fine, but when I travel for work, I don't have as much patience for kids. There were quite a few of them, they were loud. The elevator floor was covered in discarded cookies one night which also caused the front desk to be out of cookies for everyone else. Also a few of them were running up and down the halls for a while one evening. Nothing bad enough for me to complain, I don't want to be that person lol, but if you are looking for a kid-free spot, this might not be the best choice. I will definitely stay here again!

"Hampton Inn Equals Hospitality PLUS!!!"
Stayed here Thursday through Sunday for Easter. My husband is a paraplegic, traveling with a service dog, so we were in a king, accessible room, and my elderly parents were conveniently placed in another room just a couple of doors away and across the hall. The Hampton Inn staff could not have been more accommodating. They were truly courteous and thoughtful […] and thorough, really making every effort to see that we were comfortable and took full advantage of every amenity they had to offer. Breakfast ran until 10 in the morning, and featured not just cereal and fruit, but omelets, bagel toppers, biscuits and gravy, French toast sticks, hot oatmeal with granola, slivered almonds, and other toppings, two different brands of yogurt, and sliced fresh fruit. There were multiple blends of fresh, hot coffee (with caffeine and without) and teas, other instant beverages and juices and milk. Coffee/tea/etc. and fresh fruit were available 24-7. Copies of USA Today were complimentary. A small shop was available to purchase food and other items, also 24-7. Our room was extremely comfortable: flat-screen TV with plenty of channels, microwave, small refrigerator, lap desk, great bed with lots of pillows and fluffy, snow-white bedding. Wi-Fi was free (the code was printed on the room key envelope, and pointed out by the desk clerk so we didn't have to call to get it). There were lots of outlets and plenty of storage in the room. The bathroom was spacious and well-equipped. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Members of Lamb of God, Trivium, Arch Enemy, Megadeth, Opeth show you how to shred!
Chris Broderick looks at adapting keyboard-style arpeggios to fretboard tapping. Part 1 | Part 2
Scott Marano offers up some rut-busting licks inspired by "Mr. Scary" himself, George Lynch.
Get slithery and sleazy with Slash in the latest edition of "Guitar Strength."
What I wanted to break away from with my soloing and playing was the box form of the pentatonic and the repeated licks you hear everybody play. The sound in my head was very clear, but the challenge of making it a reality was huge. I started by combining two of the boxes and creating three-string arpeggios. From there, I started working on the transitions to combine them.
This month's column focuses on an original composition of mine that acknowledges the influence of classical pianists on my playing style, specifically the way in which pianists will play arpeggios across several octaves very quickly (see FIGURE 1). In order to emulate that sound on the guitar, I've devised a few fretboard tapping techniques. In fact, much of my two-hand tapping technique is based on that goal and approach.
In this entry from his classic "Jam Session" column, Warren Haynes talks about the best way to approach getting started with playing slide guitar.
The traditional approach to breakdowns is that they be heavily percussive and rhythmic in their delivery. This means the entire band is in lockstep with the same groove-based and sometimes staccato-sounding pattern. The result is a very precise, tight and often catchy section to a song, which can even eclipse the main chorus.
I'm talking about the unmistakable signature graphics on the guitars of "Mr. Scary," A.K.A. George Lynch. But the graphics are not nearly as recognizable as Lynch's frighteningly unique phrasing, tone and vibrato. Since the early 1980s, soulful shred Sensei George Lynch has challenged the boundaries of his abilities, constantly evolved with the times and kept his playing fresh.
These videos are bonus content related to the December 2013 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now, or in our online store.
As a guitar players' tastes and abilities evolve, and they begin to gravitate toward an appreciation for and desire to learn more technically demanding music, the pentatonic scale often gets a bad rap. It's often considered cliché and not as impressive as three-note-per string (3NPS) diatonic scales.
One key to becoming a more versatile blues soloist is learning to combine the minor pentatonic and major pentatonic scales to create guitar lines that go beyond the minor pentatonic scale. As a prerequisite to this lesson, you should have a basic understanding of the finger positionings for the minor pentatonic and major pentatonic scales, particularly the first and second positions of both scales.
I was always fascinated by the sounds jazz guitarists created when they'd play licks all over the fretboard. The interesting thing was that tonally I couldn't relate to jazz or fusion; I never connected with it, although technically, I could. I wanted to take these ideas and apply them to a more rock/blues approach. This is the result.
Slash is a sponge that has soaked up all of the most intoxicating ingredients of all of the best guitar music since the dawn of the electric-guitar-based rock and roll and wrung out a grimy, adventurous and uniquely tasty concoction that never ceases to inspire.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
C A+F Facilities: I like that there is a gym to work out.
B A+F Campus Resources: There is wifi access throughout the school that I can use for my own lap top. I don't like the cost of the printing on the computers thou.
B A+F Overall Experience: I love my classes. The teachers make it so much better that at other schools.
C A+F Career Services: I haven't used the the career center much but they post a lot of job flyers up and send emails of opening jobs.
C+ A+F Academic Experience: it is very average however it is enough for what you are going for
A+ A+F Campus Resources: There are always more then enough availability for computers
F A+F Campus Resources: There are few extra resources on this particular campus.
A+ A+F Campus Resources: This campus allows students to take part in various academic programs
B+ A+F Academic Experience: My classes relate to exactly what I am going for in the work field
B+ A+F Campus Resources: It's not to bad of a campus. There is a small secluded gym on campus to work out between classes or any time wanted. There isn't a bunch of people so it is relaxing to sit in the lounge area and do homework and study.
Online Courses: I have not taken a online class yet. I will be taking PSYC 101 this fall semester.
A A+F Student Body: They have groups for politics and there are multi religious people that can go to this school. There is diffrent ethnics that attend and work here. And also both gender.
A A+F Academic Flexibility: Can choose classes when ever I need them. They still leave me time to have a full time job and get my homework done.
B A+F Academic Experience: The only problem was the medical assistant program wasn't up to par.
A A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: The tuition is reasonable, and the financial aid people are great.
A A+F Online Courses: I love their online classes, the instructors are available and answer all the questions.
A- A+F Online Courses: I love the online courses, it gives me the flexability I need. I just don't like the 48 hours the instructor has to get back with the students. That window make it hard to complete assignments if you have a question or problem. They need to get back with the students sooner.
A+ A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I am not very computer smart and have had to have help with a lot of papers I had to fill out and verification I had to submit. Had it not been for Beth and Kevin and all the other staff members at the Learning Center in Seymour, Indiana I would have never completed the process. For any help one may need they are the ones to go to for help.
B+ A+F Campus Resources: The Ivy Tech campus in Seymour Indiana at the learning center allows free printing. This is great for all assignments and for those that can not afford to pay for copies. The Columbus campus you have to pay .10 per page copied, this makes it difficult for some students who do not have that extra change.
A- A+F Campus Resources: I love the library at Ivy Tech, everything I need is at my fingers. I have always found the resources I need and have received good grade on the material I have done my assignments on.
B+ A+F Campus Resources: has a library, fitness center, and resource centers
A A+F Campus Resources: Computers are vital in the world today. Almost everything is having to be done on the computer now. Therefore schools should provide adequate computers for student's. Ivy Tech has computers that accommodate many people. There is great network access and there is almost all the programs that you should need to work on class work. I have used the computers when I do not bring my laptop to school or class. Many people decide to come in last minute to do homework. Those are the people who normally end up having problems with the computers. That is why you should not procrastinate.
A+ A+F Student Body: The student body at Ivy Tech in Columbus is welcoming. Everybody greets each other. If anyone see's another person who needs help with something they normally stop what they are doing to help. I have noticed that it is easy to meet people and learn about there interests. People at Ivy Tech are hardworking individuals who have other responsibility or simply do not have or want to spend tons of money for school. I give the students at Ivy Tech an A+ because they all are welcoming individuals.
A A+F Academic Experience: I am very interested in my major. I have thought about being an Interior Design all through high school. I have thought about it so much I took a class called Housing and Interior Design. My senior year I had no other credits I needed so I decided to take the class over again. With this being said I still am tacking prerequisite classes which gives me to learn about the other majors that are offered at my school. There are many individuals who are in the Nursing program. Others are involved in the Automotive program. I have even meet someone who is involved in the Early Child Care program.
A- A+F Academic Experience: Many of the professors at my school are strongly involved with the students and there success. There are a hand few who do not care and it is really obvious that they do not. All the classes that I have taken have been interesting. My favorite two classes so far is the introduction class that is required so that you learn about college life. I liked this class mainly because I learned not just a lot about college but myself and life in general. The other favorite class I have taken was a textiles class. The reason I liked this class so much is because it is part of my major and I learned a lot about fabrics and other textiles.

Google's Age Delay

The keywords aren't heavily trafficked but are certainly contended by reasonable quality websites. Within 2 weeks the sites have gone to top ten wihtout a significant inbound links campaign...
Anyone finding this?
Posted 21 December 2006 - 05:45 AM
It's always been the case that a new site can appear to rank high for a few days/weeks initially
Posted 21 December 2006 - 02:49 PM
Many people are seeing a lot of flux in the indexes now, so I wouldn't count on anything being determined for sure until things settle. Enjoy your rankings while you have them!
Posted 21 December 2006 - 03:29 PM
Wouldn't that be nice!
Anyone putting up new sites, please keep us informed on this issue.
Scottie, got any new ones coming out? I've got my SEMNE one, but it's not really optimized...can see if it's showing up though. I know it shows up for it's name, but that wouldn't have been affected by aging delay.
Posted 21 December 2006 - 09:35 PM
Again, you can bypass the delay by getting some really great, trusted links (CNN is a nice one, etc.) but for most sites, they just aren't topical/different/newsworthy enough to get those highly trusted links.
Some people will tell you there isn't a delay at all and if you can't get a site ranking well fast, you just don't know what you are doing. However, if you don't have friends with influential sites, a pull in the media, or a truly amazing viral concept... you just have to wait it out and keep building the links you can get. Topical links in your industry are exactly what you want (and reasonable to expect) but they rarely have the "site making" ability to bypass the delay, unless they are hugely popular and well trusted.

It was disappointing that The Dispatch opined in favor of the Medicaid expansion that is presently before the Controlling Board in Ohio ("Yes vote could help 275,000," Wednesday). It is not an easy call for our state representatives, given the state of U.S. finances.
We are residents of Ohio but citizens of the United States of America. That must be our first loyalty.
At the federal level, we have a debt of more than $16 trillion and a deficit for fiscal year 2013 projected to be more than $700 billion, or 4 percent of the gross domestic product, based upon the latest Congressional Budget Office figures.
This Medicaid expansion, in both Ohio and other states, will add billions of dollars to our deficits and to our debt over the coming years.
Gov. John Kasich is not governing responsibly, but taking a step that further impoverishes our country. The four Republicans on the Controlling Board should vote against this expansion, as did the majority leaders of both legislative bodies in Ohio.
If and when Congress and the president get the budget in line and run a surplus, we would be more than glad to consider this proposal for Medicaid expansion.
Until that is done, all new expenditures at the federal level should be opposed.

Use the drop-down menu to choose from the list one of the hub motors that we have modelled, the battery pack, wheel size, and motor controller current limit. Then select the type of bicycle that you ride as well as the gross vehicle weight (you plus the machine) and hit "Simulator". The program will then output 4 graphical plots against your speed (in kph or mph) on the horizontal axis.
By default, right after each calculation the simulator will draw a dashed vertical cursor that coincides with the point where the output power of the motor intersects the load line of the vehicle. This is the expected steady-state cruising speed for that particular arrangement with no human pedal input. The table underneath the simulator shows the numeric performance values of the system at this point.
You can move the cursor to any other location by clicking the graph with the left mouse button, and see the corresponding numeric results anywhere else on the graph instead. For instance, if you want to see the expected performance with 100 watts of human pedal input, then click the graph at a point where the load line of the vehicle is about 100 watts higher than the output power of the motor. You will see that you get better range, efficiency, and speed than with no human input.
The numeric data is grouped into 3 categories:
Many people overlook the fact that there is a throttle slider and only bother looking at the full throttle output, and come to incorrect conclusions related to 'efficiency' and 'sweet spot'. If you want to see how a system behaves at slower speeds, which is achieved in practice by backing off on the throttle, then move the throttle slider to less than 100%. The vertical cursor will automatically move to your expected cruising speed at the new throttle position.
If you would like to compare two setups side by side, then the link "Open System B->" will pull out a 2nd table from which you can select an entirely different system and have both plots show up together on the same graph. A second set of numeric data shows up in the tables as well.
It is possible to hide any of the plotted data to make for a cleaner graph. The circle beside each plot title in the legend is also a radio button, so you can click the dot to show or hide the associated line. This is particularly useful when you are comparing two systems and otherwise would have 8 plots to deal with on the graph.
We have provided dropdown selection for a range of typical battery packs, vehicle types, and motor controllers. At the bottom of each of these menus is a 'custom' option that brings a pop-up menu if you would like to simulate with different components.
With the direct drive motors this is easy. Once you move the cursor passed the unloaded motor speed, the graphs for motor torque and battery current both go negative, allowing you to see how much power will be required to turn the motor and how much electrical current and power would be generated. Even though the graphs don't display far into the negative region, you can use the numeric tables to see generated power deep into regen mode.
With the geared motors (eZee and BMC), we have modeled the freewheeling behaviour of the motor. Above the unloaded speed the motor is assumed to spin at the unloaded RPM regardless of the wheel RPM, and you cannot see the regen behaviour that would be possible if either the freewheel was locked or the motor was spinning in reverse.
Why is there a sharp peak in all of the graphs?The inflection point that you see occurs when the motor controller hits the current limit. At speeds above this point, the current from the battery gradually declines until it reaches 0 amps at the unloaded rpm (where the graph outputs intersect). At speeds slower than the inflection point, the motor controller regulates the power to the hub, restricting battery current draw to the motor controller current limit (20A, for example). In this region, from 0 rpm up to the inflection point, there is constant power input into the motor rather than a constant voltage, and so the nature of the curves is different.
How come the torque keeps going up at lower speeds even though the amps is fixed by the current limit?That is because even though the battery current is limited by the controller, the current through the motor is not. It is the motor current, not the battery current, that determines the torque output of the hub motor. When there is no Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) going on in the motor controller (full throttle and moving fast enough that the battery current is under the motor controller current limit) then the amps flowing out of the battery is effectively the same as the amps flowing through the motor. But when the controller is doing PWM, then the current through the motor is higher than the battery current by the inverse of the PWM duty cycle.
But how come the motor current is always a bit higher than the battery current even at 100% duty cycle?That is because of the inductance of the motor windings. At each commutation event, current in the phase winding that was just disconnected needs to decay through a freewheeling diode in the controller. While this current decays, it is still present in the motor leads and generating torque even though it is not drawing any current from the battery pack. So the net result is a somewhat higher phase current than battery current, even at full duty cycle. This effect is most pronounced in high speed geared motors (e.g. BMC, eZee), somewhat less noticeable in high pole count direct drive hubs (e.g. Nine Continent, Clyte HS/HT series), and barely discernable in low pole count direct drive motors (eg. Clyte 400 and 5300 series).
Can I license the simulator?While we appreciate the level of interest that has been shown in the simulator by other businesses who would like to have a copy of it on their site, the answer is that no, we are currently not interested in licensing this online software. It is first and foremost a tool that we have made freely available via our website to the ebike community.
Can you give me the data, like motor constants, resistance, etc.?The answer to this question is that we already have, it is contained within the output of these curves. If you know how to make use of this raw motor data, then you will be able to extract the motor and other parameters from the output graphs. It's what we had to do with a million times more work first building and calibrating our own dynamo and running endless real world tests to get discrete measured data points on all these different hub types. You've got it made being able to get those same curves at the click of a button.
Can you add motor XXX or YYY to the list?Doing a full characterization of a hub motor takes a lot of our time and also requires destructive testing to understand the thermal limits. To add a new motor we require a) that it is readily available as a motor only and without an integrated controller (so no BionX), and b) that we are given for keeping two samples of said motor, one for destructive test and the other to keep on hand as reference should we ever need to repeat tests, and c) that it is sufficiently popular amongst DIY ebike conversions to be of value to have listed.
The old simulator was based on the following circuit model for a battery-powered permanent magnet motor and controller setup:
The actual model in SimulatorV2 is substantially more complicated, taking into account the commutations that happen on a regular basis as a function of the speed and number of poles of the hub motor, and determining the resulting current waveforms that are produced when this is applied to the inductive motor windings.
Accuracy and Limitations
The parameter values that are chosen for the motor model are based on directly measured data that we have compiled from tests using a custom built dynamometer made for the task.
Our original 2005 dynamo setup pictured above was limited to a maximum loading of about 5 N-m, but we have since built two newer devices, one of which allows for continuous load testing of the hub motors of over 50 N-m of torque. This has enabled us to verify the mathematical model above to the measured output performance with a high degree of accuracy and over a wide speed and power range. The performance of a hub motor is dependant on the temperature of the windings, and even during the course of a short test the winding resistance can go up by 15-20%. The values used in our simulator assume a winding resistance that is about 15% higher than what is measured at room temperature.
The characteristics for the battery packs are also from our own independent testing, with the value for Rbatt calculated from the DC impedance from 1C - 2C loading, and with VOC chosen at the 50% state of charge. A freshly charged pack would be faster and more powerful than indicated, while a nearly flat pack would be slower.
Finally, the program does not simulate the low voltage rollback of the controller. If you have a setup with a particularly high impedance battery, like a 5Ah NiCd, it is possible that in real life it would hit the low voltage point at high loadings and have a lower power output than indicated.
