Mass analyzed secondary ion microscopy
View Description Hide DescriptionThis paper reviews and critically assesses progress in the field of surface and near‐surface imaging microscopies based on secondary ion mass spectrometry. The ion microscope performs a variety of analytical functions, including complete mass spectra and isotope ratios from areas on the submicron scale, and lateral distribution analysis using ion imaging, with high sensitivity for all elements of the periodic table. Recent developments have improved the ion microscope's ability to image a specimen's elemental morphology with spatial resolutions below 100 nm. Criteria for the quantitative evaluation of ion images and the instruments that produce them are reviewed within the framework of information‐transmission theory. A complete and general description of the physical principles guiding the types of instrumentation available is thus presented, with emphasis on the accuracy and precision of an analytical measurement. Several directions for future developments are proposed.
Scanning tunneling microscope for low temperature, high magnetic field, and spatially resolved spectroscopy
View Description Hide DescriptionA scanning tunneling microscope capable of operating at low temperatures, T=400 mK, and in high magnetic fields,B=8 T, is described. Accompanying electronics, under the control of an IBM PC/AT, provide routine spatially resolved spectroscopy, allowing characterization of properties such as superconductingenergy gaps and local density of states on the surface. Data are presented to illustrate the usefulness of spatially resolved spectroscopy at low temperatures and in high magnetic fields.
Simple line‐sampling apparatus for line frequency stroboscopic observation of periodic phenomena using scanning electron microscopy
View Description Hide DescriptionDetailed operations of the apparatus for the stroboscopic observation of periodic phenomena at the region of line frequencies, such as the magnetic domain response, under the scanning electron microscopy are described in this paper. To achieve the stroboscopic observation at such low frequencies, a new line‐sampling technique has been introduced instead of the conventional point‐sampling method. In addition to the line‐sampling stroboscopy, a multiframe operation is also introduced to display the stroboscopic images of different phase values simultaneously. These operations are simply realized by applying the raster separation and the blanking on the display monitor scope under the multiple line‐sampling during the one‐drive period. To demonstrate the ability of this simple apparatus, some results of the stroboscopic observation of magnetic domains in an Fe–Si sample under a 60‐Hz drive field are also presented in this paper.
Using electron channeling patterns for the measurement of lattice parameters
View Description Hide DescriptionThe positions of the lines seen in an electron channeling pattern depend on the type and orientation of the crystal producing the pattern and on the energy of the incident electron beam. It is possible to make three lines intersect at a point by altering the energy or equivalently the wavelength, λ, of the incident electrons. A mathematical expression, valid for all crystal classes, is derived for this wavelength in terms of the Miller indices and plane spacings of the Bragg planes which give rise to the three lines in question. The theory has been tested by using the hexagonal layer material NbSe2. The channeling lines whose Bragg planes are (22.0), (3̄0.0), and (22̄.2̄) were found to intersect at λ=0.0098 nm which leads to a c spacing of c=1.26±0.01 nm. The x‐ray value is 1.254 nm. The analysis is formulated so that it can be used on a computer without graphics facilities.
Quantitative assessment of a parallel detection system for energy‐loss spectrometry
View Description Hide DescriptionThe concept of a spatial frequency‐dependent, detective quantum efficiency [=DQE( f )] is applied to the performance assessment of a prototype parallel detection system for electron energy‐loss spectrometry. The various factors which determine DQE( f ) in such a system are discussed and comparisons are made with a serial detection system. Also, the effects of the electron source energy spread on the overall spectrometer DQE( f ) are discussed. In these examples, the clear importance of including the spatial frequency dependence of DQE is demonstrated.
Deceleration ion optical system for sputtering measurements between 50 and 500 eV as function of angle of incidence
View Description Hide DescriptionA deceleration system for a parallel ion beam in the energy range of 50 to 500 eV is described. The system is used for sputtering yield measurements as a function of the angle of ion incidence. Measured yield data for Cu and Ausputtered by 100‐ and 300‐eV D+ ions are reported and compared to computer calculations. Experimental and calculated data show only a weak dependence on the angle of incidence. However, at glancing incidence the experimental values are larger up to a factor of 2 compared to the calculated ones. This is attributed to the surface roughness not included in the calculations.
Single photon detection and timing system for a Lidar experiment
View Description Hide DescriptionAn instrument for photon counting measurements in a Lidar experiment is described. Single events can be stored up to rates of 25 MHz and it is capable of 4096 data acquisitions for each measurement. Time information by two successive photons is achieved with an accuracy better than 14 ns. The system is interfaced with an HP 1000F series computer. A window discriminator/shaper for formatting the photomultiplier pulses is also described.
Repetitive subsecond fluorescence spectra and anisotropy measurements using an optical multichannel analyzer
View Description Hide DescriptionA vidicon tube‐based optical multichannel analyzer (OMA) was interfaced to a minicomputer to facilitate the acquisition of real‐time light transmission (or fluorescenceanisotropy), right‐angle scattering, and fluorescence spectra at subsecond rates. The apparatus was designed for kinetic studies of the optical responses of living cells to stimulation with physiological and other activators, and features menu‐driven interactive graphics for presentation and handling of the intensity, wavelength, and time data in two or three dimensions. Stimulus‐induced secretion of acriflavine‐loaded human blood platelet dense granule contents is shown as an example of the apparatus capabilities.
Minicomputer interface for magneto‐optic spatial light modulator
View Description Hide DescriptionDigital optical data storage and processing are rapidly increasing in technological importance. The magneto‐optic spatial light modulator (MOSLM) is a relatively low‐cost, small pixel optical parallel input device that is capable of binary amplitude or binary phase modulation of each pixel. Thus, it is well matched to digital optical coherent storage and processing technology. However, potential problems associated with its use include: lack of a design for a general minicomputer interface, lack of interactive data‐page file generation software, lack of ability to switch single pixels in some cases, lack of remote‐from‐computer operation capability, spurious pixel switching, and catastrophic failure due to thermal effects. The hardware and software components of a versatile minicomputer interface that has been successful in overcoming all of these problems are described. This interface allows easy data entry of entire data pages or single pixels and minimizes cross talk and noise developed over long cable lengths. In tests, the designed interface has produced highly stable operating characteristics.
Rapid‐scanning autocorrelator with extended scanning span for monitoring short optical pulses
View Description Hide DescriptionWe have developed a low‐cost rapid‐scanning autocorrelator which enables us to monitor picosecond optical pulses up to almost 100 ps. To achieve wide‐scan range, each arm of a Michelson‐type interferometer is scanned 180° out of phase by using audio speakers, and also only one‐half of a full autocorrelation waveform of the pulses is observed. The present apparatus is usefully used to measure about 80‐ps pulses generated from a cw mode‐locked Nd:YAG laser.
Absolute scanning [NF(a 1Δ)] and [NF(b 1Σ)] diagnostic method for the N2F4+H2 system
View Description Hide DescriptionThe N2F4+H2 system is of interest for production of NF(a 1Δ) as an energy‐transfer species. Past studies have been plagued with the difficult NF(a 1Δ) quantitative measurement due to interferences from the close‐lying N2(B) and HF peaks. This paper deals with the development of a scanning diagnostic method to determine concentrations of NF(a 1Δ) and NF(b 1Σ) in the N2F4+H2 system and quantitative measurement of interferences with the diagnostic signal. The diagnostic method has been applied to a functioning high‐pressure, high‐temperature system.
Optical method for measuring uniform thickness of the order of 10 μm–1 mm of transparent solid and liquid films
View Description Hide DescriptionAn optical‐interference method is proposed for measuring the thickness of ''fairly thick'' films of transparent (or weakly absorbing) solid materials or liquids. It uses a laser beam with an incident angle, on the subject film, changing with time, causing an alternation of constructive and destructive interferences of beams reflected, respectively, at upper and lower surfaces of the film. The total irradiance of the beams interfering with each other is continuously detected and recorded. From the number of periodical changes of the irradiance during the change of the incident angle over a specified range we can readily calculate the thickness of the film. A simple apparatus has been designed and constructed to realize this method. It has been shown that the method is applicable to measurements of thicknesses of both solid and liquid films, provided the films are kept stationary enough.
Automatic measurement of laser diode thermal impedance
View Description Hide DescriptionAn automated procedure has been developed for data acquisition and analysis in the measurement of laser diode thermal impedance. This method is an extension of previous optical measurement techniques, and has the advantage of obtaining many data points in a short time interval. Standard commercial instrumentation is widely used, with many variants of the technique being possible.
Sensitive gas‐phase photoacoustic spectrometer with provision for simultaneous recording of absorption spectrum
View Description Hide DescriptionThe design of a sensitive pulsed photoacoustic spectrometer system for studying media in gaseous phase in the visible and ultraviolet regions is described. The system provides for simultaneous recording of the laser absorption spectrum of the sample by measuring the radiation transmitted through the sample cell. A highly sensitive optogalvanic detection subassembly for recording the calibration spectrum and analog signal processing/averaging electronics including gated integrators also form part of the system. Typical sensitivities of detection are a few tens of picobar acoustic pressure disturbances induced through two‐photon absorption in iodine vapor in the sample cell and 0.1 pC charge fluctuation induced in the neon/uranium hollow cathode discharge through optogalvanic effect. Typical recordings of the photoacoustic, laser absorption, and two‐photon photoacoustic spectra of the saturated vapor of iodine at room temperature in the presence of air at atmospheric pressure are presented together with the optogalvanic calibration spectra.
Continuous and stopped flow EPR spectrometer based on a loop gap resonator
View Description Hide DescriptionA continuous and stopped flow EPR spectrometer based on a new loop gap resonator operating at X band is described. The important features of the instrument are: (1) very small amounts of material are consumed in both stopped and continuous flow modes of operation, (2) dead times on the order of 4 ms for stopped flow and 1 ms for continuous flow are realized with a very narrow age distribution in the sample compartment, and (3) the dead times and, hence, sample age are highly reproducible and independent of viscosity due to the use of a positive displacement syringe ram. The performance of the instrument is evaluated using the decay of ascorbate radical generated by Ce(iv) oxidation and reduction of nitroxides by ascorbic acid.
Polychromatic x-ray beam produced by a wiggler: A new dimension in x-ray diffraction at megabar pressures
View Description Hide DescriptionThe wiggler provides a substantially higher flux of photons through a given collimator at high energies than is available from the bending magnet at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source. This opens a new dimension in ultrapressure x-ray diffraction studies. Examples are shown in which a good diffraction pattern of gold at 112 GPa (1.12 Mbar) was obtained in 13 s and in which the diffraction pattern for primitive hexagonal silicon at 35 GPa using the beam from the wiggler contains twice as many peaks as is the case for the beam from the bending magnet.
Silicon photodiode detector for fluorescence EXAFS
View Description Hide DescriptionA large‐area silicondiode is used as a fluorescencedetector for extended x‐ray absorption fine‐structure (EXAFS) measurements. A direct comparison of this diodedetector relative to a gas ionizationfluorescencedetector is made. Advantages of the diodedetector include: higher signal for a given photon flux (due to higher quantum efficiency), vacuum and cryogenic compatibility, freedom from microphonic noise, good linearity, extremely wide dynamic range, operation without high voltage or gas connections, very simple electronics, and low cost. A brief comparison with other detection methods for fluorescenceEXAFS is given. Use of photodiodes for transmission EXAFS is discussed.
New surface wave launchers for sustaining plasma columns at submicrowave frequencies (1–300 MHz)
View Description Hide DescriptionWe describe new surface wave launchers intended to sustain plasma columns with high‐frequency (hf) power in the range of 1–300 MHz. This frequency range complements that of the existing surface waveplasma generators (surfatron and surfaguide launchers), which are best suited to operate in the microwave domain (≳300 MHz). With the addition of this new type of launchers, called Ro‐box, it is now feasible to achieve a surface wave produced plasma column at applied frequencies ranging from 1 MHz to 10 GHz. The possibility of using the same physical hf coupling mechanism (surface wave propagation) over such a broad frequency band is an unprecedented situation with hf produced plasmas. This is of interest for both fundamental and applied physics, as it allows frequency effect investigations and frequency optimization of plasma processes. The new devices can be made so that the wave‐launching and the impedance‐matching functions are physically separated, leading to a modular design, a feature that facilitates changing the plasma tube diameter and the operating frequency range. A further advantage of the new devices is that their launching section can be implemented around the discharge tube more compactly than with the other surface wave launchers.
Three‐dimensional computer simulation of ion beam scattering by an electrostatic reflector
View Description Hide DescriptionA three‐dimensional computermodel was used to study the scattering of a reflected lithiumion beam by an electrostatic reflector. Results show that for ion gun systems for active space plasma experiment applications, beam scattering of less than 1° can be attained with electrostatic reflectors.
Lithium‐free scintillation glasses for fast‐neutron detection
View Description Hide DescriptionIn this article, we present observed characteristics of new lithium‐free scintillation glasses which have been developed to make time‐resolved measurements of the 14‐MeV neutron flux from deuterium plasmas. These measurements will yield information on the burnup of tritons in today's deuterium plasmas and are needed to better predict the confinement and slowdown of alpha particles in future D–T burning plasmas. The new glasses were formulated to have good detection efficiency for 14‐MeV neutrons, and yet be insensitive to 2.5‐MeV and lower‐energy neutrons. The glass response to alpha, gamma, and neutronradiation is shown. The intrinsic neutron detection efficiency of the scintillation glass is seen to increase significantly as a function of neutron energy, providing the necessary discrimination against low‐energy neutrons. We discuss the reactions which determine the glassneutron response and suggest that this response is dominated at higher neutron energies by gamma rays created by neutrons inelastically scattering from oxygen present in the glass. For high‐energy neutron detection in the presence of excessive background gamma radiation, we discuss a new coincidence configuration of lithium‐free scintillation glass with NE213 liquid scintillator.

Dot and Mouse were more often used for their command and technical skills.* [[CuteBruiser Spinelli]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}''.* Colleen, ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers''.* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' has the title character, as well as Huntara, a purple-skinned Grace Jones lookalike who has no powers except a bunch of [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys really cool weapons]], but held her own against She-Ra in a one-on-one fight. Other girls count too. The guys were usually [[DudeInDistress Dudes in Distress]] which is understandable since the show was created as the girl's version of ''[[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 He-Man]]''.* The tomboyish Dahlia and superpowered Lana of ''WesternAnimation/{{Skyland}}''.* Sliced Ice from ''WesternAnimation/SkysurferStrikeForce''.* Sally Acorn, ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM''. Also, Bunnie Rabbot. The two are TheLeader and TheBigGuy of their FiveManBand.* Wendy from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' seems very likely to grow up into one of these based on her CrowningMomentOfAwesome in season 12. (Kicked Cartman's ass.)* Sandy Cheeks from ''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' before being [[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] into a GadgeteerGenius.** Her ancestor, the Dark Knight, was {{Badass}} enough to survive underwater without a fishbowl helmet.* Shaak Ti, Asajj Ventress (a DarkActionGirl) and even Padme has her moments in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars''.** Also many female Jedi from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', most notably Ahsoka Tano. Padme also qualifies in this as well as any other females.* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' revolves around a kid and his older sisters. The older sisters (Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl) are magical warriors who protect humanity with their unique abilities (SuperStrength, VoluntaryShapeshifting, [[MentalPictureProjector Mental Image Projecting]], etc.) and weaponry ({{Power Fist}}s, [[WhipItGood a whip]], and [[BladeOnAStick a spear]]).* Nova from ''SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperForceGo'' fits this perfectly. Want proof? Her weapon of choice is a pair of ''Giant fists.''** [[RobotGirl Jinmay]], [[TheGunslinger Aurora Six]], and [[BadassNormal Alliana]] also deserve a mention here.* ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan'':** Ilana. Primarily when she's in her mecha, Corus, as opposed to hand-to-hand combat.** Although she never is seen seriously fighting anyone, Kristin practices martial arts and briefly spars with Lance.* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''' Starfire and Raven are particularly awesome cases, as well as pretty much any female "Honorary Titan," such as Terra or Bumblebee.* Pricess Ariel from ''ThundarrTheBarbarian''.* Cheetara in ''{{Thundercats}}''. Thoroughly [[{{Xenafication}} Xenafied]] in ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats (2011)=]]]''.** Pumyra is also this in the latter.* Sheila Sternwell from ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad''.* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland''** Courtney definitely has Action Girl moments, such as ripping a lamppost off its base and hunting Harold down with it, and wrestling sharks in Total Drama Action.** Heather definitely held her own in the more physical challenges. Though in the first season, she could also qualify for being a DarkActionGirl.** [[PerkyGoth Gwen]], once ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome kicked a serial killer in the face]].'' ** Leshawna has her moments. And Eva, though [[VasquezAlwaysDies we didn't get much of a change to see it]].** There's also [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Izzy]], who gets into fights with a ScaryBlackMan twice her size.* Sam, Alex, and Clover of ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' seem to take turns being competent.* ''{{Transformers}}'' has a pretty good record with this, despite females being in the extreme minority.** ''TransformersGenerationOne'': The female Autobots, and later, Arcee.*** ...right up until ''TransformersHeadmasters'', at which point she became a docile [[MeeknessisWeakness stay-at-home]] ExtremeDoormat.** ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'': Airazor and Blackarachnia.** ''TransformersEnergon'': Arcee.** ''TransformersCybertron'': Override (male in Japan) and Thunderblast.** ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' (film series): Mikaela.** ''TransformersAnimated'': Blackarachnia, Strika, [[spoiler:Starscream's female clone]] and [[spoiler:Sari, after she took a level in badass]]. Professor Princess might technically count, although she's more about the gadgets than actual combat. Arcee [[WhatCouldHaveBeen might have been one]], but never got the chance.** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'': Arcee gets the chance. And she ''runs'' with it, cutting a swath through [[MechaMooks Vehicons]] and never backing down, she's a seasoned, battle-scarred warrior.*** Miko the human gets a few action moments, including one episode wherein she gains possession of the Apex Armor. * Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, and Aisha from ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' form a [[MagicalGirlWarrior Magical]] AmazonBrigade.* Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin from ''{{WesternAnimation/WITCH}}''. Do we really need to explain this one?* Artemis, Batgirl, Wonder Girl, Zatanna, Miss Martian, Bumblebee, and Rocket in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. Wonder Woman and Black Canary also appear in the show, as well as a minor character named Sam.* Sylvia from ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder''. You do NOT want to be on her bad side.----

Location | Canada, British Columbia |
Central coordinates | 128o 49.87' West 50o 48.05' North |
IBA criteria | A4ii, A4iii |
Area | 120,000 ha |
Altitude | 0 - 312m |
Year of IBA assessment | 2008 |
Site description The Scott Islands are a group of five islands extending in a line westward from 10 to 46 km offshore of Cape Scott at the northwestern tip of Vancouver Island. The inner two islands, Cox and Lanz, are large forested islands, whereas the outer two, Triangle and Sartine, are completely treeless. Beresford, the smallest island, lies in the middle of the chain and exhibits transitional features.
Key Biodiversity The Scott Islands support the largest concentration of breeding seabirds in the eastern North Pacific south of Alaska, and are the most important breeding colonies for seabirds in British Columbia. Twelve species of seabirds breed in this group of islands, with virtually all the nesting occurring on Triangle, Sartine and Beresford Islands. Together these Islands support over two million breeding birds.
Three of the seabird species nesting on the islands occur in globally significant numbers (i.e., greater than 1% of their population). These species are: Cassin?s Auklet (as much as 55% of the global, and 73% of the national population); Rhinoceros Auklet (as much as 7% of the global, 9% of the continental, and 12% of the national population); and Tufted Puffin (2% of the global, and almost 90% of the Canadian population). Other species that are present in at least nationally significant numbers (i.e., greater than 1% of the national population) include: Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel (1.5% of the Canadian population), Leach?s Storm-Petrel (2.3% of the western Canada population), Pelagic Cormorant (just over 1% of the North American, and 17.5% of the Canadian population), Brandt?s Cormorant (40% of the Canadian population) Black Oystercatcher (almost 3% of the Canadian population), Glaucous-winged Gull (about 4% of the national population), Common Murre (as much as 95% of the western Canada population) and Pigeon Guillemot (6% of the national population).
Other species of seabirds nesting on the islands include Thick-billed Murre (the only known site in Canada where the Pacific population nests) and Horned Puffin (less than 25 pairs in British Columbia). The marine areas surrounding the islands are important feeding areas for the nesting seabirds as well as other marine birds such as Sooty Shearwaters. Large numbers of migrating and wintering seaducks such as White-winged Scoters also frequent the area, particularly in the vicinity of Cox and Lanz islands.
Triangle Island supports several pairs of Peregrine Falcons (ssp. pealei ) a species considered nationally vulnerable. Peregrine Falcons are also recorded at each of the other four islands in the group and Bald Eagles nest throughout.

Hi guys!
I have just purchased Episode1 for iPad, together with the whole bunch of episodes for PC.
Playing in iPad gives a great cinematic experience, because action points are really suitable for a touch game. However, I got stuck in some moments because I cannot do properly the "three lines" attack, like a paw, and I end just writing 'z's continuosly which most probably is not the most effective way to perform that action.
Do you have any tips on that? I tried to use three fingers, but that apparently is not accepted by the game.

Dakota County may soon take sole ownership of the Lake Byllesby Dam and attached hydroelectric power facility located on the shared county border in Cannon Falls. More financial information is expected to presented during the county's 2011 budget talks this fall. For years, Dakota County and Goodhue County have owned the dam with Dakota County possessing 60 percent ownership and Goodhue County 40 percent ownership. The counties have shared the responsibilities, costs and hydropower power revenues associated with maintaining the dam and facility.
Between the two of them, David Hartnett and Kirk Zeaman figure they have everything they need to run a successful coffee shop. Hartnett is the creative one. Zeaman, who has a master of business administration from the University of Minnesota, knows the ins and outs and running a business. Hartnett drinks coffee. Zeaman prefers the other drinks on the menu.
A 34-year-old Farmington woman faces a felony drug charge after Farmington police and agents from the Dakota County Drug Task Force found evidence of drug use in her home. According to a complaint filed in the Dakota County Attorney's office police found methamphetamine residue multiple places in the home of Jennifer Ann Glander when they executed a search warrant Sept. 11. According to the complaint police were handcuffing Glander and another man found in the home when Glander reportedly used her foot to wipe off a glass coffee table.
For the second consecutive election District 192 voters will have seven candidates to choose among. In the final week of the district's election filing period Ron Groves Rebecca Keeler and Tera Lee joined Carol Kappes, Melissa Sauser, Brian Treakle and Veronica Walter on the ballot. The filing period ended at 5 p.m. Tuesday. Bob Heman initially filed for re-election but later withdrew and resigned from the board. That leaves Walter as the only incumbent on the ballot. John Kampf, the other candidate up for election this fall, did not file.
The Farmington School District and eight Farmington schools have made adequate yearly progress toward meeting national No Child Left Behind goals. The Minnesota Department of Education released AYP information last week. This is the second consecutive year the district has made AYP after failing to meet that goal from 2006 through 2009. The AYP designation is based in large part on the performance of students on Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment reading and math tests given in the spring.
By the time warning sirens sounded Friday morning in Farmington the most serious damage had already been done. According to Dakota Communication Center interim director Diane Lind, warning sirens were activated in Farmington at 3:46 a.m. Aug. 13. But by that time, many residents in the neighborhoods hit hardest by that morning's tornado were already outside examining homes that had been damaged, garages that in some cases had been demolished and trees that had been uprooted or snapped in two. The DCC, Dakota County's central dispatch center, is in charge of activating sirens countywide.
For much of last week's run of the Dakota County Fair, it seemed like Mother Nature was determined to keep people at home. If it wasn't 95 degrees and so humid even stepping outside seemed like a chore, there were storm clouds and lightning to make people think twice about taking a trip to the fair. But when the weather cooperated, this year's fair appears to have been success. Don Storlie, president of the Dakota County Agricultural Society and manager of this year's fair, said workers did the best they could dealing with situations that were sometimes challenging.
The Dakota County Fair is a remarkable event. It's one of the rare opportunities in this world to indulge guilt-free in massive quantities of artery-clogging food, ogle livestock and cheer as strangers ram headlong into each other in an event that is the daydreams of any driver trapped in rush-hour traffic sprung to violent life. Really, what else do you need? The fair is also instructive. If you're paying attention, you can learn a lot, and not just about what a Holstein looks like or what it feels like to feel your arteries actively close off.

The news probably won't come as a surprise to many of the Farmington homeowners who were affected, but the National Weather Service has confirmed that a tornado touched down in the city early on Aug. 13. The EF-1 tornado had winds of up to 105 miles per hour, though most of the damage was done by winds with a maximum speed of 70 to 90 miles per hour. The storm, which hit around 3 a.m. last Friday, did significant damage to homes in a narrow path that began south of 195th Street and just east of Meadowview Elementary School and ran northeast for about a mile and a half.

It worries me that boys are told that showing emotion is a weakness. And don't get me started on their notion of invincibility and willingness to jump off sheer cliff faces just for the hell of it. So, with all of this in mind, I've done a lot of thinking about how I can raise my boys to be good men.
When there is such an emphasis on achieving, regular assessments, bigger class sizes at school with lessons led by overworked teachers dealing with classes of children with increased varying educational needs and staff without adequate support or training, these statistics support my experience of children that are stressed and unable to articulate their feelings.
A chatterbox is quite happy to talk to anyone about anything. And by anyone I mean; strangers in the street, the ladies in the supermarket and the neighbour you don't know very well. And by anything I mean; what picture they have on their pants today, that Daddy parped really loud this morning, and that "Mummy said our neighbours are very noisy."
Recent weeks have given us a sobering reminder of the dreadful impact of child sexual exploitation. The further revelations regarding Rotherham coupled with the announcements of new investigations in Manchester, Halifax and Essex, reinforce the belief that we are only beginning to scratch the surface of this emerging national blight.

Smut Peddler 2014 is an anthology of pornograhic comics created by women, for everyone. The Kickstarter doubled it's goal on the first day and more or less ran out of special tiers IMMEDIATELY.

A few days after this disaster and things look a lot better. All these artists were recommended for me (along with Jay Sean, Avril Lavigne, and Christina Aguilera, sigh…) the last time I checked. It may just be a function of more artists joining up: even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.
Let's hope this is the effect of them tuning their recommendation engine with more feedback, though.

So im in the market for a new chain for DH rig. I want something thats strong and light. I know those two don't really go hand in hand. What are ya'll running?
Was Yaban SL gold, now same from KMC only because there was no YBN around. Go YBN - took me 3 years to wear it down, it's light and cheap.
+1 on the cross step. I have been using it on my dh bike no complaints or problems. I also use the hollow pin Pc991 on my other bikes including my 09 Reign X i use a a short travel dh bike, have yet to have any problems.
I go on price point or jensons and search for the cheapest 9speed chain and buy two. Replace it halfway through the season.
SRAM PC-971 - cheap and very tough cheap enough to buy 2-3 and a Park chain wear tool check your chain wear from time to time using the gauge, and replace with a new chain once the gauge shows 0.75 - will stop you ruining your cassette and chain ring chain devices and downhill riding in general put alot of stress on the chain, so its good to check it and replace it, will save you money and ensure quality shifting performance at all times
KMC x9sl is the best chain ive ever used. Super light, very strong, hollow pin, hollow inner and outer links. Comes in Titanium Nitride coating gold which looks good and helps it hold up after time. You can find them online for 45 bucks!
i had one for a season, ridden pretty hard when my frame wasn't broken. received little to no oil, and if it weren't for the fact that i got a new frame this year, id continue using the same one on my dh bike. i plan on sticking with kmc.
X2 Im running the ti version and I havent snapped it yet... 991s I went through 3 in 2 months and same with Whipperman.... KMC Been beating on it several months and in snow ice wet hot dusty and LITTLE lube... Ill be getting another one for the parts bin this season...
Ive got xt on mine... cant seem to kill it. Chains are chains when it comes to DH, right circumstance can pop any chain. Just go with what yoiu can get at a decent deal, dont buy crap though, def stick with mid to upper end stuff.
But if a chains a chain then why not go cheap!!! LOL In theory isnt what you just stated that a chains a chain but if you dont buy crap that insinuates theres a difference... Mike I will back the fact at my weight and thighs I have a $hit ton of torque not alot of endurance (which Im working on) and I snap chains pull links apart... The KMC is solid, used several others... I have hammered and pedaled out of the pocket on landings and the KMC has taken the beatng countless times, Ive gone over the bars a few times from pedaling out and the 991s snapping the links apart and sending my knee to bar and body over... I have had no issues with the KMC at all, usually I have 1 or 2 issues by now and I have abused this chain alot more than the others and still holding strong... Hell I slammed a link on a rock at the night race I took pliers and pressed it together although it was a little rough moving its been working fine since....
Does anyone know where i can get KMC D202 chains? Can't find them anywhere online for my single speed.
I've had very bad experiance with XT chains. They don't like water too much and live short. I lubed it regular periods but it rusted super fast, it's not very light and really it makes no sense to get it over the SL's from kmc and ybn.
Ha, Smartass........ Let me rephrase, a quality chain is a quality chain....... Interesting, I live in Socal so maybe there is a climate difference for us. XT is the lowest I put on and seem to get good results from it. The part I failed to say in my original post.... I think the best chain to use would be one made to work with the DT you have. I know Sram and Shimano are "compatible" but I have always gotten the best performance when matching up brands. I think the bottom line is..... Your going to go though chains, its just part of riding, keep an eye on the wear so you dont kill the entire DT
KMC for ever i love these chains and have been running every 9 speed chain of theirs incl the colored X9's,the colored X9 was not expensive and it looks great. The coating never lasted quite long before it went silver but still sillent & strong. Now X10SL for me all the time & works perfect with my 9 speed drivetrain,no big complains just perfect in combination with my Shimano DA 9 speed cassette. thumbs up for KMC,best chains ever!!!
Used X9sl's on my trail/freeride bike and DH bike for the past year. 100% reliable, and I noticed a big improvement in shifting performance over the 991 cross steps I has previously used and broken. I have 2 new ones to install on my bikes for next year, but will continue to run the old ones for any winter riding I do before then as they still work perfectly and have at least 1/2 of the ti-ni coating ..... despite being used in wet muddy conditions. This is pretty much the Thomson seatpost of MTB chains.
A kmc chain would be dope, but I would prefer to spend less on chains. I know I am cheaping out and suffering from the lack of performance and durability, especially on my xc bike. But for some reason I get a thrill out of seeing how long a cheap chain will last.
Destroyed a whipperman/connex bruised my knee and launched over the bars and into a hedge I was pedaling off a transition to jump over in front of my wife... Fricking funny, hurt like hell but my wife left me there out of embarasment and crying from laughter as she rode off... The people in hte restraunt were glued to the window in amazement... That would be the last connex I rode.... the one before that failed but not as bad...
My experiance was not as funny but I lost 2 myself on flattish easy sections. Rohloff wasn't any better.
since we are sharing stories... Came down a little short on a gap jump and cased the rock making up the backside landing right into my SRS bash. Completely flattened the SRS bash in that spot and bent my e.13 guidering into my crankarm spider (kinda like a one sided taco shell). KMC chain not only survived, but I am still using the same one to this day. Shifts perfectly.
Well mine survived 2 broken derail's (one of them was actualy done by chain though I still don't know how). Hard to say about shifting because I have a strange habbit of kicking my shifter so hard I can't walk. That also means it can't shift very well. Though in times when I could walk the shifting was good.
I believe so. I have yet to break the one I put on my 450. Still holding strong. I would recommend getting one. You won't regret it.
That's my basic philosophy on it. Most decent chains- at least from SRAM, Shimano and KMC- do just fine. Once in a while you might get a bad one, have an installation problem or just get a random breakage. It happens. I have broken chains, but have not really noticed any pattern in it. SRAM, KMC and Shimano have generally given me good results and I have not noticed a big difference in wear or performance between them (I used to live in New England and had the same experience there as SoCal). About 85% of the time I go with Shimano XT or DA because they can be had pretty cheap, I have extra chain pins, they work well and most of my stuff is Shimano.
QFT 1 broken chain in last 8 years using Shimano 10 spd chain/SRAM links. You just need a set of channel locks to get the link open most of the time.
Shimano and SRAM can not be mixed. Your bike will explode. Just look at what happened when this guy's wrench used a powerlink on an XTR chain to save time.

This is a very tasty, refreshing desert and it's so easy. You can really substitute any fruit you like, I just had strawberries on hand and they seemed to work very well.
¾ cup Water
10 Large Ripe Strawberries
1 tablespoon Agave or Raw Honey
Blend all ingredients until smooth and put it in the freezer for about 1.5 hours or until frozen "crispy" so that you can still break it into pieces easily with a fork.
It is really good when topped with thedailyraw's banana cream http://goneraw.com/recipes/1048-Elvis-Banana-Nut-Butter-and-Jam-Parfait [2]
I prefer to substitute macadamia nuts instead of cashews for that recipe though. I also threw on a few cacao nibs as a garnish.

Country of Origin: The Ca de Bou, also known as the Perro dogo Mallorquin, Mallorquin Bulldog and Mallorquin Mastiff, hails from the Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain. They are considered an ancient breed that may have been developed by crossing local herding dogs with English Bulldogs. The purpose of this breeding was to create a dog optimal for bull baiting that could also withstand the extreme heat of the local. The Ca de Bou was utilized for bull baiting as well as dog fighting, but began to gain recognition as an accomplished herder, guard dog and butcher's assistant (holding down the bull for the butcher). The Ca de Bou was also used by the Spanish in their harbors to protect ships from pirates and robbers. The Ca de Bou's first official entry into the Spanish Stud Book was in 1928. The breed was first exhibited in the Dog Show in Barcelona in 1929. Size: The male Ca de Bou will reach heights between 21-22 inches and an average weight of 77-83 pounds. The female Ca de Bou will reach heights between 20-21 inches and an average weight of 66-74 pounds. Coat: The Ca de Bou's coat is short-haired and will feel rough to the touch. Coat colors for the Ca de Bou include brindle, fawn and black in order of preference. Lighter shades of the brindle or fawn are not preferred. White markings on the front feet, chest and muzzle are acceptable. However, white markings that cover greater than 30% of the chest are a disqualification. Character: The Ca de Bou is a quiet and subdued breed, but will still exhibit courage in the right circumstances, never backing down from a fight. The Ca de Bou makes an outstanding guard dog with uncanny protection instincts. This breed is also quite loving and will be completely devoted to his owner. This breed however, requires an experienced pack leader that will rule with consistent discipline. Temperament: The Ca de Bou is faithful and affectionate with its family and will get along with children. They require a great deal of regular socialization from a very young age and well into adulthood. The Ca de Bou will not be made to back down once antagonized and should not be left alone with other animals. Care: The Ca de Bou requires very minimal grooming. A light brushing with a rubber brush periodically to remove dead hairs is sufficient. The Ca de Bou requires bathing only when necessary. It is possible for the Ca de Bou to acclimate to apartment living as long as they receive adequate exercise. This breed will be quite active indoors so it is not necessary for them to have a yard, when getting enough exercise. Training: The Ca de Bou requires an experienced owner that exhibits natural leadership. It is recommended that training basic manners and obedience as young as possible. This is because the Ca de Bou was built for strength and tenacity, making it a larger risk to correct a full grown dog. The Ca de Bou will not take well to aggressive training. This should be avoided at all costs, as this could be dangerous for the owner. It is best to train your Ca de Bou in a positive manner while still correcting inappropriate behavior. Activity: The Ca de Bou is a moderately energetic dog that will require an average amount of exercise. A long regular daily walk or even jog will keep your Ca de Bou fit and happy. It is imperative to remember when on a walk that the dog must heel behind or beside the owner. If your Ca de Bou is allow to lead the walk, they may begin to think that they are in charge.
