as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesRe: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesAnti-vaccination sentiment running high in private schools.
http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/AP-E ... 851495.php
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesPrivate and home schooled kids are too special to get sick.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
Are the bookies running odds for when the first epidemic strikes?
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
That's not first-in-the-nation, Washington state already requires this if you are taking a personal exemption (you don't have to do it if you claim a religious exemption). I had Eddie in daycare twice a week for a month while my husband started a new job several hours away, and I had to make a 45 minute trip to the pediatricians office to get the paperwork signed because we are delaying the Hep B vaccine. It was a pretty big PIA at the time.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesPretty insane. Back to the early 20th century, like when my father was born in 1910, when epidemic diseases, like whooping cough were common. Or even pre 1954, when I was born and the polio vaccine was not around.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
Not all vaccines are equal. I choose to do most vaccines on time. It's great that we have options, and it's great that diseases like polio have been almost eliminated. The latest whooping cough vaccine is not very effective. We're having a major epidemic of it up here is WA, and the vaccination rates for it are higher than ever. The vaccinated kids are getting it at the same, or worse, rates than the unvaccinated kids. They're also the ones spreading it around, because they get less sick when they get it, so they often don't know they have it, and keep showing up for school/work/daycare. The CDC is investigating whether or not improperly stored and expired vaccines are contributing to the outbreak here. FWIW we did all of the pertussis shots on time, even making a special appointment for the 15-month shot. I'm not anti-vaccine, but I also don't demonize parents who make an educated decision about delaying or skipping some shots. The vast majority of readers on this message board had only a fraction of the vaccines that kids today do. That's not a bad thing, but it's not all a good thing either. Most of us have a natural immunity to chicken pox. It's going to be interesting to see how well the chicken pox vaccine provides a lifetime of protection. Adults tend to be very bad about getting routine booster shots. I would rather my kid get a natural immunity to chicken pox, but if they don't by the time they are 10-12 we'll get the vaccine. No one in our family has ever had a bad reaction to chicken pox. How many of you are up to date on your Tdap? How many of you even know off the top of your head how often you are supposed to get it?
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesUsually one equates private schools with better education. Obviously not so much. To allow your child to get immunized from a disease by contracting it naturally, rather than through vaccination, shows that the autism/vaccine paranoia still lives on. I just contracted Shingles. I was about to get vaccinated. Wish I had been, as I think the side effects would have been easier than the disease.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
My child has not had every vaccine they are supposed to at this age, and I am not the least bit concerned about autism. Not everyone who chooses to not blindly follow the AAP is blindly rejecting all vaccines, or doing it because of autism fears. I would suggest that the vaccination rate is lower _because_ the parents are more educated, but I don't actually know that. However, I don't think it majorly infringes on your personal liberty to have to consult with a doctor or nurse before opting out. You don't _have_ to send your child to daycare or school, and most pediatricians will just sign the form after making sure you are somewhat aware of the risks of opting out.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesAnd then there's fluoride:
<<....It's a dental story told so often it borders on cliche. When someone moves to Portland from another state - and that's most people you meet in this city of transplants - their new dentist takes one look at their excellent teeth and concludes they must have been raised elsewhere, a place that puts fluoride in its drinking water....>> Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/nation/article/Po ... z26Hu807p5
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesI have heard some pretty wacko stuff about fluoride. My fave is that the nazis used fluoride to make their prisoners more docile, and that the government puts it in our water to make us more docile
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
Chicken pox hardly ever represents a major problem. I could count on fingers of one hand all cases of chicken pox encephalitis I encountered in 1/2 century. The problem with your attitude of trying to cherry pick standards is that it may (perhaps, if you are lucky) work on an individual case, but as a herd immunity is concerned, the system breaks down when too many people think that way. You probably know more about the stats and problems with pertussis vaccination in Washington State, that is not something I would comment on, but I would still say that properly vaccinated population has a better chance of not getting massively infected than the one that is not. I have seen bad cases of pertussis, I have seen diphteria, it is not a pretty sight. Lastly a response to jeremyp. Too bad you did not get the shot early enough, zoster is a bitch. Hopefully it will not become neuralgic. BTW, I did get the shot once it became available.
That was bromide .
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
Here's a serious question about fluoride, though. The health benefit comes from teeth getting exposure to fluoride. And potential health concerns come from fluoride being digested. So wouldn't it make much more sense to just put the fluoride into toothpaste instead of into the drinking water?
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
I am not anti-pertussis vaccine. It's a bitch to get pertussis at any age if you are not vaccinated. A friend my age recently got it and it was not fun. We all, everyone in my extended family plus the kid, got vaccinated. Generally the vaccinated get a milder form of the disease. I am anti-blaming those who chose not to get the vaccine for the latest outbreak, when the evidence (at least locally) says otherwise. I think the outbreak here is actually far worse than the CDC knows. Only the fairly bad cases are getting tested. I think a lot of kids are getting pertussis and no one realizes it. Heck, my kid had a cough off and on for months that we never got checked out. I think it was probably just allergies, but I can't say for sure that he did not have a mild case of pertussis.
Fluoride, bromide... they both end in "ide" so close enough, right
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
"Opt-out" indicates that if parents don't get active one way or the other, then the child gets vaccinated. If that's correct, then out of those that get their children vaccinated, some do because they think it's the right decision, other because they don't make any decision at all. So if this is really "opt-out", then the actual number of vaccination supporters among parents may be significantly smaller than it initially seems.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesPeople in private schools usually are, but are these parents making these decisions because they are really educated about vaccines or because they follow the herd? Do we really want to see contagions again? Who is driving the "no vaccines" mantra anyway? It would be interesting to know. http://bigthink.com/age-of-engagement/t ... h?page=all
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continueshaving had more years of school and "being educated" are, of course, two completely different things. If you close your mind to science, doesn't matter how many years you spend in school or hhow high your grade-point is.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
Interestingly, some of the best graduate students don't have great gpa's. We are so swamped with information now, the real skill required is to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. From what I have seen in the news, the anti-vaccination camp perpetuate some of the flawed reasoning as 'truth'.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
Right now the evidence leads to the firm conclusion that vaccines do not cause autism. Yet, if history is any guide, the myth that they do cause autism will likely endure even in the face of increasing contradictory evidence. http://www.csicop.org/si/show/anti-vaccination_movement
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
That's correct; and people closing their mind to science can be found on both sides of this issue.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
Both sides?
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesMost people today who delay/decline vaccines are not citing autism as a reason. But if it makes you feel better to paint us all as uneducated hysterical idiots, go ahead.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
Exactly; just because a small group bases their decision on that autism nonsense shouldn't take away from the valid reasons that exist.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesI believe that the real issue here was the implication of some sort of even-handed division of opinion ("on both sides of the issue") by the scientific establishment. I don't believe that exists.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesWho knew? A 1986 federal law created a "vaccine court"

Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesshingles part of this discussion moved over to the geezer-shots thread, which was moving in that direction at the same time.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continueshttp://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/ ... gh30m.html
That's not 76% of parents are vaccinating against pertussis in WA, the % is much higher than that. That's 76% of kids with pertussis are fully up to date on their pertussis shots.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
The key here is that there are unvaccinated kids that have a far greater chance of contrating the disease and spreading it. The whole point of vaccination is to reduce the chance of this. As you get fewer kids vaccinated then there will be a greater chance of an outbreak. I have not been following this on the news. Just how large is the problem in Washington State? It's hard to judge from % figures. Edit: I just read the article and it says 10 times higher number of cases than normal. Is this a cluster of cases? Possibly a more virulent strain?
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesVaccination rates in WA for pertussis are higher than they have ever been. The current vaccine is less effective than in the past. There are also reports that many doctors were storing it improperly.
Vaccinated kids who get pertussis are less sick than unvaccinated kids and sometimes it does not have the "whoop" sound to it. My hypothesis is that the vaccinated kids are the ones spreading it because they are less likely to stay home from school because the parents think they just have a cold, that it couldn't be whooping cough. I also strongly suspect that the number of cases is being under reported, that the mildest cases are not being treated/tested. I would have loved to see the CDC drop some $ to test everyone in hard hit areas who had cold symptoms. I'm not anti-vaccine. My kid and my whole extended family are up to date on pertussis shots. The outbreak is worse in some areas than others but it is a problem in almost every county in the state, and expected to get worse now that school has resumed, and the perpetual rain should return soon.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
Sounds like an interesting example. I expect we'll be hearing a lot of different expert opinions on what is happening soon enough.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
The eventual CDC summary should be most interesting.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesThere is a superb analysis of diphteria outbreaks in the 40's Europe in September/October issue of Skeptical Inquirer, unfortunately not available online. Highly recommended to everybody who has interest in the subject.
Oh yes, I witnessed a few cases of diphteria as a young physician. Not a pretty sight.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuestough one to spell too!
harkening to your previous post about the CDC, I assume you've noticed that its website is essentially unusable while the morons in D.C. have their pissing match.
Re: as our descent back into the Middle Ages continuesI've been reading Nate Silver's book "The Signal and the Noise," which spends part of one chapter covering the 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak, the dire predictions, and some of the reasons that the predictions were way off. The book is all about predictions, some good but most bad, and why they are or are not accurate. Nate got famous by predicting the last two US presidential elections pretty much spot on. And he is a fellow UChicago alum.
It was a fairly interesting chapter that covered the prediction of diseases in general. With the flu vaccine, the health people have to predict which strains to put in the upcoming season's vaccine and that has to be done by about August in order to have vaccines available for the flu season. As far as predicting how serious the flu season will be, they have to predict how contagious the strains are going to be and how lethal they are going to be. But until flu season gets going, those are very difficult numbers to predict. If memory serves (and its been a few weeks since reading it), they overpredicted the contagiousness of H1N1 based off of how contagious it was in 3rd world countries the previous season. But those areas are generally where people live much more densely and much closer to livestock, especially pigs and chickens which carry the virus. Also the lethality was based on relatively few cases in southeast Asia in the previous flu season. As the flu came to the US, the contagiousness was much lower and that season's strain was not as dangerous as the previous season. He also discusses in that chapter and elsewhere in the book how the predictions of near certainty or predictions of global calamity tend to backfire more often than not. After the prediction fails to materialize, people are much less likely to believe the next prediction that those people make.

Trotman proving his worth
In the NFL Draft, the last player picked is known as "Mr. Irrelevant" and that selection comes with a small amount of fanfare.

Post-Game Breakdown: Paille pots two, Thomas stands on head in win over Sens
The Senators could've easily gotten on the board early and turned the tide if it weren't for a phenomenal performance by Thomas in the early-going.

Top GOP donors seek more say in races
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa The biggest donors in the Republican Party are financing a new group to recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts who Republican leaders worry could complicate the partys efforts to win control of the Senate.
The group, the Conservative Victory Project, is intended to counter other organizations that have helped defeat establishment Republican candidates over the last two election cycles. It is the most robust attempt yet by Republicans to impose a new sense of discipline over the party, particularly in primary races.
There is a broad concern about having blown a significant number of races because the wrong candidates were selected, said Steven J. Law, the president of American Crossroads, the super PAC creating the new project. We dont view ourselves as being in the incumbent protection business, but we want to pick the most conservative candidate who can win.
The effort would put a new twist on the Republican-to-Republican warfare that has consumed the partys primary races in recent years. In effect, the establishment is taking steps to fight back against Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations that have wielded significant influence in backing candidates who ultimately lost seats to Democrats in the general election.
The first test of the groups effort to influence primary races could come in Iowa, where some Republicans are already worrying about who will run for the seat being vacated by Sen. Tom Harkin, a Democrat. It is the first open Senate seat in Iowa since 1974, and Republicans are fearful of squandering a rare opportunity.
The Conservative Victory Project, which is backed by Karl Rove and his allies who built American Crossroads into the largest Republican super PAC of the 2012 election cycle, will start by intensely vetting prospective contenders for congressional races to try to weed out candidates who are seen as too flawed to win general elections.
The project is being waged with last years Senate contests in mind, particularly the one in Missouri, where Rep. Todd Akins comment that legitimate rape rarely causes pregnancy rippled through races across the country.
As Republicans rebuild from losing the White House race and seats in the House and Senate last year, party leaders and strategists are placing a heightened focus on taking control of the Senate next year. Republicans must pick up six seats to win a majority.MORE IN Wire NewsPORTLAND, Maine The mansion that serves as Maine headquarters of the Womans Christian...

New Chapter Politics 101
Post: #1
New Chapter Politics 101
Milt has yet more words of wisdom. I suggest reading the whole thing. However here are some highlights:
Quote:We progressives have been standing on the sidelines while the far right has run the show for about 32 years now, precisely because a significant proportion of "progressives" don't seem to occupy the real world. If you want to know why the right wing has been able to dismantle most of the meager social justice apparatus that we built up before the Reagan "Revolution," it's because they understand that they can only get their way if they keep winning elections. Meanwhie, a too-large contingent of "progressives" seem to think "standing on principle" means sticking to lofty ideals that can't possibly happen in one shot, and abandoning anything that doesn't represent at least 100% of that lofty ideal. It's why it seems as if progressives have run straight off the political cliff. As President Obama has put it many times, these "principled" "progressives" are allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good. Quote:It is so tiresome to work hard for the progressive cause for as long as I have, and have it repeatedly sabotaged by people who claim the same ideology as me, but who insist on political strategy that puts right wing nutbars in charge of the government for 32 years. These folks don't even seem to notice that what they're doing isn't working, so narcissistic is their political stance. Quote:There are some things progressives have to know about politics if we're to make it out of the political wilderness: http://pleasecutthecrap.typepad.com/main...tions.html "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Benjamin Franklin |

The Honeymoon strengthens intimacy and it is time to return filled with renewed energy as a couple, to start married life.
Nowadays, the Honeymoon, because of the obligations of everyday life, except for some privileged, cannot be too long, and therefore the couple cannot visit multiple destinations, yet something lingers ... the sweetness of honey.
An area of tourism that has not been completely developed in Guatemala's tourism industry is Community Tourism. This focus would bridge the gaps in Guatemalan tourism, allowing for visitors to explore one of the richest cultures in the country by being fully immersed in it. Community tourism gives a tourist a close up view of a local native Guatemalan who lives in the different regions of our country, learning the daily cultural practices and traditions of the farmers and Guatemalan communities.

The Governor of NSW, Her Excellency Marie Bashir AC CVO will follow in the footsteps of her colonial predecessor Governor Lachlan Macquarie at a ceremony to be held at Nobbys breakwall tomorrow.
Her Excellency Professor Bashir will unveil a plaque that commemorates Governor Macquarie's visit to the city in 1818, to lay the foundation stone for Macquarie Pier, which linked the mainland to Nobbys Island and is now known as Nobbys breakwall.
The event has been organised by the Coal River Working Party, in conjunction with the University of Newcastle, Newcastle City Council and the Fort Scratchley Historical Society.
With the support of the University of Newcastle, Newcastle City Council, State Government agencies, the University of New England and Hunter-based surveyors and archaeologists, a survey to find the original foundations of Macquarie Pier is now underway.
Built by convict labour, work on the land bridge to Nobbys Island began with the commemoration by Governor Macquarie on August 5, 1818 and was completed in 1846.
As well as the plaque unveiling, there will be a display of Fort Scratchley's might, with a firing of its cannons and a searchlight display that will light up the iconic breakwall.
Picture opportunity: The Macquarie Pier Plaque unveiling ceremony will be held at Nobbys breakwall 4pm Wednesday 4 August 2010.

It has been a while since my last post, but I thought what better timing than to post on the eve of one of our biggest services yet at OneLife Church. Looking back on past blogs, I noticed that I had written about our 100th service and couldn't help but feel grateful and encouraged to see that between 100 services, our mission and our vision as a church has not changed.
I am honored to be a part of a church that is not there to be a place that you "attend" on Sunday. Instead, it is a place that truly challenges you and stretches you and gives God and the Holy Spirit the room to move in the lives of our people where the things that they learn are applicable and real.
Beginning with this post, I will be featuring life change stories that I have asked friends of mine to let me share publicly. What is written are not my words but their's, and I hope that by posting these stories there is something that you can relate to. And if you haven't yet really gotten to know who God is or what all of the "life change" stuff is about, I would love to share what that means with you!
Morgan Savage's Story
Growing up our family never attended church or even really spoke about Jesus. I was brought up to believe that if you were a good person you would go to heaven. My eyes have now been opened to see that people can never always be "good". We are flawed, make mistakes, and do wrong things daily.
Having grown up your entire life being taught one thing, then realizing that everything I had known about heaven and God was wrong was really hard for me to wrap my head around and accept. I was definitely a skeptic and had more questions than answers. It was difficult to for me to let go of my questions and not let them consume me and keep me from Him. But once I did it was like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.
When I began my journey seeking Jesus, nothing in my life was going wrong and I never had anything terrible ever happen to me. I was perfectly happy and content with life and didn't think it could get any better! When I began to know Jesus on a personal level, what he did for me, and what he wanted to do for me; that's when I found a joy unlike any other that is unexplainable and overwhelming.
My questions didn't go away, they just became smaller because something so much bigger and better was way more important to me than my questions!!

Police: Man faked robbery story to avoid telling wife he spent 1,000 at strip bar
Man faces filing false report charge

LA FERIA, Texas - A man faked a story about a robbery to avoid telling his wife that he spent their $1,000 tax return at a strip bar, authorities in Texas said.
Jesus Mata Jr., 21, recently received the refund and decided to spend it at the bar on Wednesday, police said, before he concocted a story to police that gunmen with assault weapons took the money.
Police said Mata told them he was robbed at gunpoint at 3 a.m. and that six men in two trucks boxed in his car and took the money.
Law enforcement in the area conducted a search after hearing Mata's story.
"We followed a wild goose chase and ended up with no one. We followed a couple of leads that led us nowhere," La Feria Police Chief Don Garcia told KRGV-TV.
When Mata was questioned a second time and inconsistencies were found, police said Mata admitted making up the story.
"I started drinking some Bud Lights and I got a couple of lap dances," police said Mata told them. "I was there until they closed at 2 a.m.
Mata was taken into custody Thursday on a charge of filing a false report, but additional charges could be filed.

Did you like this poll?
Check out KING CAIROLI
in our Latest issue of Racer X available now.Americans know very little about seven-time FIM World Champion Tony Cairoli, but in Europe he's treated like royalty. Page 102.
The Conversation
3 votes for Short?? 4 for Grant?? Brayton even got a vote!!
Based on his performance at the MEC, Barcia seems like an obvious choice. He showed his starts and speed were not left behind on the 250's as he put both on display at the Cup. Justin also looked calm, confident and poised, he did not rush , let the race come to him, Stanton seems to have gotten through to him.
Trey is a bit of a question mark, coming off two seasons of dealing with devastating injury, where will his mental state be? We know he has the speed and talent to run up front, but will Canard have the Comfort & Confidence required to ride to his full potential?
After those two, it seems to be a toss up between Weimer and Milsaps. They both have shown flashes their speed, but poor starts and inconstancy plague both. Weimer being on a solid program and around RV should have benefited him, which gives Jake the edge over Milsaps. Davi, who has gotten back on a Suzuki, a brand he rode with great success in his youth, should feel right at home and back up to speed.
I wish I could throw K-Dubs name in the hat, but with all the talent out there today it will be tough for him to be in the mix. I do think he will have one or two special rounds where he has the crowd on it's feet cheering for the 14 Honda.
I know this was a what if kind of question, but hopefully we see Villopoto, Reed, Stewart and Dungey be pushed by Barcia, Canard, Weimer and Milsaps for the entire season. The title being decided at the final round, where any one of 3 riders could win the crown. That would full fill every one on here's most mentioned Christmas wish!!!
alright billc you know barcia is the most likly one as DW is back to 250's, I would put TC about equal to him though god I hope he can stay uninjured !!!
What about Broc Tickle ...with RC as a coach and on good suzuki equipment...could be a sleeper....But I think we will see the same guys (RV,RD,CR,JS) out front in the end.
Weimer would have a chance, if there was a woman's SX championship.
heres how I would rate the list
Barcia 11% chance at title
Canard 10%
Weimer 3%
Brayton 3%
Short 1%
milsaps .5%
grant .4%
Yes, Tickle should be on that list. Former 250sx champ has some skills and if the team behind him does what it is capable of, Broc might be close or the podium. He does kind of slide under the rader, good catch Farscape40..
good observations but I have to disagree to a point. Barcia looked really fast at MEC but I didn't see the calmness and patience you refer to. I keep re-watching the races and am amazed he didn't crash as he was on the ragged edge numerous times. His bike was completely sideways coming through the braking bumps into the turn after the start stretch as he was trying to get by Reed.....and of course there was the high-speed foray out onto the concrete after the big sweeper.
While I agree he's the favorite on this list to win a race I also think he will suffer some soil samples. He will certainly make it very interesting this winter. Have a feeling Reed is gonna lose his patience with this guy at some point.
Ripdown.. Justin did and does ride the ragged edge, it is his riding style, and I agree he will take some soil samples, this his rookie season with the big boys.. I was referring to the mental side of it, he did not seem to get rattled while dicing with Reed, Dungey or Villopoto and he played it smart around Alessi. I could be wrong, but I think Stanton has Justin's head in a good place..He will be a factor if indeed he has found his Zen...
Ripdown - I feel that in order to go fast enough to win this years SX c'ship we will see EVERY legitimate contender take a dirt sample...the question is - whose "bad day" will be the least bad.
In the last couple of years we have seen numerous "bad days" by Stewart - that is all I'll say about that...
we have seen a few "bad days" by RV - failing to qualify for a main in 2011 and busting up his knee (I know - post c'ship)
We have seen a bad day from Reed - (Houston)
Canard - will never forget that one...
Dungey - Chain derail in 2011 and broken collar bone in practice...
My point is - with the current AMA points allotment you have to be hovering around the top three with a smattering of wins to be a legitimate contender...if a guy like...lets say Weimer or tickle thinks they can hover around 6th or 7th place and wait for the obvious contenders to crash out they will be looking at a two race deficit in points by round number five.
Of the list posted above it is true that Barcia should be considered the favorite - he, in his first race beat all the contenders save JS and TC - if they were there I still think the results would have been the same...save for Mike Alessi who has been anywhere near a good a starter as Barcia? In the 450 class that skill (consistent starts) is as good as gold.
I would agree Barcia is in a better place mentally......doesn't seem to be intimidated....
That being said the MEC is a bit of a Novelty event. The big boys may (will) get a little more serious when Championship points are on the line. If JB can keep things in perspective and collect the points available to him without throwing it away there will be some pretty bruised egos by the time Vegas roles around.
Novelty event - for sure..but it still had a gate, dirt, turns and jumps....
@ dino
you forgot Diana (miss SX)
Just sayin.....once your chances at a mil are gone most guys primary focus is to get through it without injury so as not to jeopardize the real deal. Barcia and Tomac had a little extra incentive...wanting to prove they belong with the 'Big Boys'
Just my opinion......
Barcia hands down. Hec he may win with all the four guys there. I say 2013 is gonna be the last for JS7. If he doesnt make that Suzuki work, he is DONE. Its time to do something else. I'd like to see CHAD win one more before he retires. REED also hint that 2013 may be his last then he will just be manager at 22. RV2, we dont know how well that knee is gonna hold up so for 2013 Im gonna go with DUNGEY as the strongest guy right now. Remember Dungey qualified faster than RV and looked to be right there with him at MEC b4 the shifter issues. DUNGEy has the confidence needed and I think 2013 he will put a stamp on any doubters out there. RD is NOT my FAv but just saying it like it is. He has confidence and momentum on his side. I'd like to See Reedy win it but i like the agressive Chad we saw at millville and Texas SX
Dungey's problems will be the nights he dosesn't get a good start.....his style is not condusive to moving through the pack in a short SX format.....especially with the addition of Barcia who generally gets good starts..
Barcia can start , he can pass and he can wail on the fourfity....he will see RVs tire disappearing for at least a lap.....
Ripdown! You are right! I am in love with her straight up!
Staying healthy is always the big question but unless RV gets hurt he is at another level in SX and will win convincingly. RD will be there if he makes a mistake. I think JB will fair better than CR. Yes he rides on the edge but that's what it takes to win. Ride on the edge but don't crash. Who knows maybe JS will keep it oni two wheels and make a run at RV. I do know if everyone stays healthy some of the podium finishers from last season will be lucky to get a top 10.
So the guy that finished 2nd in the Nationals doesn't even get on the list of the top 11 threats for 2012 SX? I know Alessi needs to own the whoops to make it happen, but only Millsaps (266 pts) Brayton (257) and Weimer (229) on the list above finished ahead of MA (206) at the end of the 2011 SX series . . . he should be on the above list of the 'guys that could get a title if the top 4 all crash out 5 times in 17 races'.
I see the red plate being passed around while attrition sets in. Possibly after Daytona the front runners will be narrowed down and a dark horse will appear.
Broc Tickle should have been on the poll. If the chemistry is right on that team, I can see BT gaining on the pack as the season progresses.
Fans will win big this season and if you are eligible for an AARP card you may want to keep your blood pressure meds close by during the races. haha
Ripdown Thats what i have said a few times about RD, They will ALL have a harder time getting up front after a bad start but RD will have the most trouble!! The Class is stacked and i am still holding out hope that Tomac will be there too.
BillC- Just how much competition do you need out there? LOL It's looking more and more like we will have around ten guys that could win on any night! That would be baring any injuries, of course. Oh yeah, this is lookin' good! hate the "off" season. And Preston, come on now. We all know who your guy is, and that's just fine. But, all kidding aside. Could one person win ALL the races this year considering the competition? I think not. But as I type this I realize you were just stirring the pot. And I bit. You win today I guess. lol
It technically wasn't 100% Canards fault he got hurt last season. Sure, he got a little tight, picked up a toughblock cover, but that shouldn't even be possible. They need to hire an art guy that maintains a paint job.
The field was completely depleted since the last 3/4 of SX. All Dungeys 1-1's and the other guys 2-5 finishes were a product of the sun, stars and moon aligning. I'll bet you $100 that none of those guys, minus maybe a 3rd for Windham, Weimer or Millsaps touch the podium.
Not to say they suck. By no means. The guy running 20th (sx) and 40th (mx) could stomp any one of our asses, but they aren't on RV, Reed or Dungeys level by any stretch.
last 1/4 sx i meant...
GOAT or not, i just can't see Tickle being in the run.
It's gonna be all RV, CR, RD, JB, TC, Kdub and .....sigh, JS (maybe....3 years, shit results).....Either way ya there are 10 guys that can light it up
Barcia definately showed he can run with the big dogs. But he wont take the campionship. I see him probably,4th, maybe 5th at seasons end.
Do we know the TV schedule yet? If I have to endure any of that CBS shit this season I am going to have an anurism...remember? where local affiliates could pre-emt the broadcast to show us programs on how to plant dafodills or effin high school spelling bee's...wait...that was ESPN. Sorry.
luckily i've not been screwed out of any races that way.
If any one of those guys wins the supercross title- it means everyone got hurt [again].
But- I would definitly pick Barcia over Canard by a large factor. Brayton and Grant shouldnt even be on this list- and where is the #800 at?
I believe that Barcia really is a threat for the 2014 title. Once he ages a bit more and tempers his "enthusiasm" that he showed at the Des Nations, he will be a much more potent rider.
I predict a Villopoto/Barcia rivalry since they both ride with so much passion. Both of them get away with manoevers that would land anyone else in plaster for 6-8 weeks.
As much as it pains me to say it, JS and CR are just getting old, and this will limit their impact on the overall championship, although their ability to win will never be questioned, just their age related durability. I felt the same about Windham - which is undoubtedly the most talented pure rider I have ever witnessed. Even RC recognized that time waits for no man.
If I were to prognosticate, I see Dungey sitting as my favorite since Barcia and Villopoto will be trying to spin their throttle grip and we all know that stuff happens out there. Trey is my absolute favorite darkhorse, but the big dirt naps add alot of virtual age to a body.
I will be rooting for them all, though. I don't care who wins, all I care is to see young men giving it 100.00% riding a savagely powerful work of technology, and fearlessly attacking a rude and unforgiving track.
Oh, and to have all of this action seamlessly brought into my home, live, while I recline and offer a running commentary on the action to anyone unfortunate enough to be within earshot. Warning: Doritos will be harmed.
Not to start any crap, I would NOT have had Stewart in that question, he hasnt been close to a title in years.. He will win a few races, but he WILL NOT beat RV or Dungey or even Reed over the course of an entire season.. 4TH place is the best he has managed in about 3 years now..
@BD25~Barcia is fast, no question. I don't think he is top contender beyond the other 4 simply because he will not be consistent enough in this class. Mark my words, he will have his struggles with Weimer, Milsaps, and Shorty. I am a fan of Barcia but he cannot beat TC straight up. I know TC has a confidence issue to master but one on one TC beats Barcia 80% of the time.
@someguy~JS will not finish the season
JB 51 is my pick to win the 2013 sx title with the other 4 riders included,.....LOL...He will surprise only the stupid fans ...you know the ones that think Yamahas are bad bikes because bubba crashed a few times on it...LOL...RV2 is the fastest lap time but he has a history like Bubba....AKA that speed touches dirt every once and awhile...Just like the MEC...Barcia will beat Dungeyand Reed and holeshot like Alessi...Gonna be interesting!!!!
2nd in points last year gets 2%
You guys are funny
I'd like to say Trey, realistically Barcia, and hopefully WINDHAM.
@j w621557 - Neither will Canard

A-LEVELS: Proportion of UK A-Level top grades drops again this year (From Witney Gazette)

A-LEVELS: Proportion of UK A-Level top grades drops again this year
11:00am Friday 16th August 2013 in News
NATIONALLY the proportion of A-Levels awarded top grades has fallen for the second year amid a rise in students taking science and maths, official figures show.
In total, 26.3 per cent of entries scored an A or A*, down from 26.6 per cent last year – a drop of 0.3 per cent. It is believed to be the second biggest fall in the history of A-Levels, and comes the year after the A*-A pass rate fell for the first time in more than 20 years.
The number of entries awarded an A* – the highest grade – also dipped to 7.6 per cent, compared with 7.9 per cent last year, while the overall A*-E pass rate rose slightly by 0.1 to 98.1 per cent.
As the pass rate dipped, a breakdown by subject revealed a continued move towards science and maths A-Levels, which are often seen as tougher, and more traditional subjects.
Biology, chemistry and physics accounted for 17.8 per cent of entries, up from 17 per cent last year and 15 per cent in 2009, according to figures published by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ).
One in eight (12 per cent) of entries was in maths or further maths, up from 11.5 per cent last year and 9.8 per cent five years ago.
There were almost 24,000 more entries for the sciences this year compared with 2009, JCQ said, and nearly 19,000 more for maths courses.
Chemistry entries alone were up 5.2 per cent this year, further maths was up 4.5 per cent and physics entries rose by 3.1 per cent, the statistics show.
Girls are still more likely than boys to get an A* or an A, but boys this year were slightly more likely to get the highest grade – A*.
A total of 7.9 per cent of boys' entries got an A*, compared with 7.4 per cent of those from girls.
When As and A*s are grouped together, girls perform best – with 26.7 per cent of their entries hitting this mark, compared with 25.9 per cent for boys.
Universities and Science Minister David Willetts, above, congratulated the hundreds of thousands of pupils who received their A-level results during a visit to the headquarters of admissions service Ucas in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
"Here at Ucas in Cheltenham I am seeing hundreds of thousands of young people who've achieved great A-Level grades," Mr Willetts said.
"I congratulate them on that and they are now on their way to university. In fact, for this stage of the process it looks as if more young people have got their definite place at university than ever before at this stage."
- s FROM next month, pupils will not be able to sit A-Level exams in January – all exams will be taken in the summer. Other longer-term changes planned by Education Secretary Michael Gove, left, are for all assessments to be taken at the end of the A-Level, rather than at the end of each year, and the introduction of a stand-alone AS-Level which will not contribute to a full A-Level. The curriculum content of current exams is also being reviewed.

Great little scrapers for tight places around the heel and for cleaning wood bindings without digging into the top or back
I´ve bought scrapers many different places, but these are the best. Just the right hardness etc. And they are even set up when they arrive. Just a touch with the burnisher and off you go scraping.
I love the mini oval scraper, im using it to work on a violin scroll and it work like a charme!
Very easy to use A++++++
the mini rectangle is good when you need to scrape off some staind on the binding, it's small and will remove any paint or staind that ran on the the surface of the binding
Flexible enough to bend to my needs / tough enough to do a perfect job
I recently purchased the 3 large scraper blades, burnisher & instructional DVD. The quality is excellent as is the instruction. Saves a lot of sanding time
This scraper saved me a lot of time. Here I'm using it on a Mahogany overlay (Broken Headstock Repair) Also great for trimming binding!
Just ideal for these wee tricky bits on the neck and headstock. An excellent addition to my tool kit!
I purchased all 3 mini scrapers and they are PERFECT for smoothing/finishing my violins. They are very thin, flexible and the edge stays sharp longer than other scrapers I've used in the past. Sandpaper is now obsolete in my mind! If you want a silky smooth surface then these scrapers are a must!
