UF progress report: Linebackers
Published: Monday, April 22, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 3:02 p.m.
A closer look at what we learned about this upcoming group of Gators from spring practice.
Depth chart heading into August
11-Neiron Ball
28-Jeremi Powell
9-Matt Rolin
3-Antonio Morrison
49-Darrin Kitchens
34-Alex Anzalone
51-Michael Taylor
13-Daniel McMillian
--Jarrad Davis
Progress report: Already lacking depth, the Gators took a major hit when true freshman Alex Anzalone, the No. 2 middle linebacker, injured his shoulder the first day in pads and underwent spring-ending surgery. The big story has been the strong, steady play of Antonio Morrison at middle linebacker. Michael Taylor has had a good spring at outside linebacker and Darrin Kitchens has moved from outside linebacker to middle linebacker, where he is backing up Morrison. True freshman Daniel McMillian has flashed playmaking ability at outside linebacker.
Spring surprise: McMillian has made a bunch of plays. Once he gets comfortable in the defense, he'll be a major contributor in the fall.
Spring star: True sophomore Antonio Morrison made the move from outside linebacker to middle linebacker and has been one of UF's most dominant defensive players — and its biggest hitter.

This teal on the blue side of blue/green is a bright happy color. It is a slightly deeper color then shown on the lid of the pad. This is an unusual color for the Distress line and a nice addition to any collection
So excited that this color come available. My son took a girl to prom with a teal colored dress. this will make great accents to my pages
This color with with a bit of festive berries and then spiced marmalade on a white tag makes an amazing almost glowing color. Beautiful!
I love the rich color of this ink pad.

Almost 40% of Arkansas' student body is from Texas. Heck, my girlfriend is from DFW. As long as Arkansas can consistently be better than A&M, this is a great move for UA
Count Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino among those happy with the SEC's addition of Texas A&M:
"It's good for us. It's good for our recruiting. There's been a number of guys in the last three or four years that we didn't get to come here and they grew up watching Big 12 football and maybe chose a different school because they were used to it so much. All of the publicity, exposure, everything we get now with A&M coming in in the state of Texas, I think helps us a lot."
The Razorbacks have 20 players from the Lone Star State on this year's roster. Four of their 18 commitments for the class of 2012 also hail from Texas.

Sidney,Neb.-- The Memorial Health Center (MHC) board of directors announced this week that Douglas A. Faus, MBA, MHA, has been appointed as the interim chief executive officer of Memorial Health Center until a permanent CEO is selected. The national search for this position is currently being conducted.
"We want to make sure that we do our due diligence to find the right fit for Memorial Health Center and the communities we serve," said Rob Robinson, MHC board of directors chairman. "Appointing an interim CEO allows us time to do that while ensuring that the hospital is successfully operating on a day-to-day basis and achieving goals in the meantime."
Faus has more than 12 years experience serving as a CEO of small community hospitals including Jefferson County Hospital in Fairfield, Iowa, and Estes Park Medical Center in Estes Park, Colo. He currently serves as the chief operating officer of Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Colo.
"I am excited about the new interim appointment and look forward to providing leadership in a health care facility with such an excellent reputation for quality care," said Faus. "I am eager to begin collaborating with the physicians and staff to provide health care services in the area until a permanent CEO is appointed."
Faus received his master's degree in health care administration from the University of Minnesota and his master's degree in business administration from the University of Akron in Ohio. He is a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives.
Faus will begin his new appointment on Jan. 3, 2011.
Memorial Health Center and PVHS last week announced a management services agreement that calls for PVHS to provide management support of MHC. The day-to-day operations, responsibilities, policies and decisions made for the hospital will continue to rest with the MHC board of directors and staff.
For more information, please contact Evie Ranslem-Parsons, MHC director of public relations, at 308.254.5825, email at email@example.com or go to www.memorialhealthcenter.org.

17875 Collins Ave, Sunny Isles Bch, FL | Directions 3316025.940564 -80.120597
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 5:30pm - 10pm;Fri. - Sat. 5:30pm - 11pm
Gotham's iconic eatery serves up classic Italian cuisine in a posh Sunny Isles setting. – In Short
Tucked inside the swanky Acqualina, this New York City import is a fresh breath of Italia. The European décor is elegant and consuming, removing any notion that you are at a beachside resort. The menu leans heavily on hearty Mediterranean standards like fettuccini with lamb ragout, osso bucco, and chicken parmigiana. Signature soups like tortellini en brodo and the egg-blessed stracciatella are there to make way for the heavier entrees.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) show disorganised collagen and elastin of the dermis. We looked for inflammatory alterations to cutaneous blood vessels.
Seven patients with sporadic ALS were investigated; five were confined to bed, but none had bedsores.
The skin in ALS is characterised by a distinctive pattern of alterations of connective tissue and blood vessels. Examination of skin in an additional and easily accessible investigation which may help elucidate the pathogenesis of ALS.
Kolde G et al., Skin involvement in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Lancet, 1996 May 4, 347:9010, 1226-7.
Analysis of Metabolites
Sweat was collected from tissues subjected to external load (sacrum, ischium, forearm, calf) and 6 metabolites analysed: chloride, lactate, urea, urate, sodium, potassium. Sweat rates were greater at the sacrum and ischium. There were differences in the concentrations of lactate and urea between sites but these were smaller when expressed as amount secreted. This technique has potential clinical application to the investigation of suceptibility to pressure sores.
"The analysis of metabolites in human sweat: analystical methods and potential application to investigation of pressure ischemia of soft tissues." Taylor, R.P.; Pollack, A.A.; Bader, D.L. Ann. Clin. Biochem. 1994 Jan; 31(Pt 1): 18-24.
In an effort to reduce the incidence of decubitus ulcers among wheelchair users, current work in cushion design concentrates on minimizing the pressure at the buttock-cushion interface. Finite element analysis can show the stress levels throughout the soft tissue between the cushion and the ischial tuberosity and give designers a better indication of the effects of a particular cushion.
Finite element models were generated of the tissues around the ischial tuberosities of male and female subjects. Linear three-dimensional models were generated using a 386 computer and solved with infinitesimal deflection theory.
The resulting minimal principal stresses were 17 kPa and 15 kPa at the buttock-cushion interface for seated male and female subjects, respectively. Computational results were verified experimentally with magnetic resonance imaging and interface pressure measurements.

A systematic approach to intensive care unit management of acute spinal cord injury

Cervical collars
Cervical collars play a role in the long-term treatment of cervical spine injuries. Pressure ulcers are one of the potential complications.
The Stifneck collar exceeds capillary closing pressure (CCP) for most contact points. The Philadelphia collar exposes the wearer to high pressures when supine compared with the upright position. The Newport and Miami J collars exerted pressure well below CCP. The subjective comfort (scale from 0 (poor) to 5 (best)) ratings were: Stifneck = 0.85, Philadelphia = 3.00, Newport = 3.80, and Miami J = 3.45.
Recommend use of "patient-friendly" collars such as the Newport or Miami J. These collars should potentially reduce the incidence of soft-tissue complications and improve patient compliance.

Clinical indicators
To monitor adults older than 65 years living in nursing facilities and who experience unintentional weight loss of more than 10% of actual body weight in 6 months or more than 5% in 1 month or who have stage II, III, or IV pressure ulcers.
Of the 24 indicators for unintentional weight loss, the 6 indicators present most often, in descending order, were:
reduced functional ability,
intake of 50% or less of food served for the past 3 consecutive days,
chewing problems,
serum albumin level less than 35 g/l with normal hydration status,
cholesterol level less than 4.1 mmol/L, and
refusal of 50% or more of food replacement for the past 7 days.
For the residents with pressure ulcers, the indicator present most often was serum albumin level less than 35 g/L with normal hydration status.
The three highest intervention indicators were:
receives 1.2 g protein per kilogram of actual body weight,
receives 120 mg or more of vitamin C daily, and
receives 1 1/2 times the energy required based on goal body weight.
When serum albumin level was documented in the medical record, it was a valid indicator for both diagnoses.
Inappropriate dietary intake, disease, and disability place residents in nursing facilities at risk for malnutrition. Thus, it is important to obtain laboratory values when assessing elderly residents and determining their nutritional status.

Clinical Practice Guideline
This Quick Reference Guide for Clinicians (highlights from the Clinical Practice Guideline of Treatment of Pressure Ulcers).
Topics covered include: assessment of the patient and pressure ulcer(s), tissue load management, ulcer care, management of bacterial colonization and infection, operative repair of the pressure ulcer, and education and quality improvement.
Tables and forms are included as aids for assessing the pressure ulcer and the patient's nutritional status.
Pressure ulcer treatment. Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. Clin-Pract-Guidel-Quick-Ref-Guide-Clin. 1994 Dec(15): 1-25.
Complications (England)
The initial admission of patients to other hospitals has inevitably led to delays in transfer to spinal injuries units. Complications were more frequent in patients undergoing spinal surgery before transfer to the center. Furthermore, the longer the delay in transfer, the higher the incidence of pressure sores. Suggestions are made as to how complications can be avoided in future.

Reviewed cases with myelomeningocele and congenital kyphosis. Ten patients underwent kyphectomy with wire fixation and spinal fusion for severe-curve progression and problems with decubiti ulcers.
Two of these patients continue to have problems with skin breakdown. Kyphectomy enables patients to sit straighter and is the proper treatment for these patients. If operative treatment is prohibitive or denied for some reason, then suitable wheelchair modifications can enable these patients to function with reasonable comfort.

Malnutrition (1)
Malnutrition has received little attention in acute stroke, although it represents a risk of decreased immunity and nosocomial infections.
Protein-energy malnutrition was observed in 16.3% of patients at inclusion and in 26.4% after the first week, with a significant decrease in fat and visceral protein compartments.
Malnourished patients showed higher stress reaction and increased frequency of infections and bedsores in comparison with the appropriately nourished group.
Protein-energy malnutrition after acute stroke is a risk factor for poor outcome. Early appropriate enteral caloric feeding did not prevent malnutrition during the first week of hospitalization.
Davalos A et al., Effect of malnutrition after acute stroke on clinical outcome. Stroke, 1996 Jun, 27:6, 1028-32.
Malnutrition (2)
The association between protein-calorie malnutrition and pressure ulcers is well established.
Measurements of nutritional status are frequently included in the routine clinical assessment of patients with pressure ulcers. This paper reviews the associations between these measurements and the presence, severity and healing of pressure ulcers.

Micronutrient supplements
To estimate the intakes of essential nutrients by eating-dependent nursing home residents (EDR).
Seventy percent (24/34) residents in the study group were underweight (body mass index < 23 kg/m2), 26% were hypoalbuminemic (serum level < 3.5 g/dl), 50% were anemic (hematocrit < 37%); and 38% had pressure ulcers.
In 88% EDR, the dietary intakes of three or more essential nutrients were below 50% of the RDA. Most frequent and severely deficient were zinc, copper, and vitamin B6. Despite the inadequate essential micronutrient intakes in the majority of EDR, only 35% received a multivitamin supplement and only 3% received a trace mineral supplement.
A survey of 30 other VA nursing homes indicated generally similar findings to those in the Milwaukee facility with regard to the high frequency for eating-dependence, and the low frequency for administration of multivitamin and trace mineral supplements.
Despite eating supervision and assistance, the majority of EDR have inadequate intakes of numerous essential macro- and micronutrients. The deficient micronutrient intakes could be normalized by administration of a multivitamin/trace mineral supplement daily. Nevertheless, only a minority of EDR in VA nursing homes currently receive such a supplement.
Rudman D et al., Nutrient intakes of eating-dependent nursing home residents: underutilization of micronutrient supplements [see comments]. J Am Coll Nutr, 1995 Dec, 14:6, 604-13.
Among the many risk factors for pressure ulcers, malnutrition is potentially reversible. This article examines the relationship of malnutrition to the prevention and healing of pressure ulcers. Evidence for nutrition in preventing and healing pressure ulcers is presented. Specific nutrients, including some amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, have been evaluated for their effects on wound healing.
Thomas DR: The role of nutrition in prevention and healing of pressure ulcers. Clin Geriatr Med, 1997 Aug, 13:3, 497-511.
Nutritional Risk Factors
This article focuses on nutritional risk factors that predict the development of pressure ulcers in hospital and nursing home patients.
Cross-sectional studies associate inadequate energy and protein intake; underweight; low triceps skinfold measurement; and low serum albumin, serum cholesterol, and hemoglobin levels with pressure ulcers.
Nutritionists should provide a high-energy, high-protein diet for patients at risk of development of pressure ulcers to improve their dietary intake and nutritional status.
Nutritional prediction of pressure ulcers. Breslow-RA; Bergstrom-N. J-Am-Diet-Assoc. 1994 Nov; 94(11): 1301-4; quiz 1305-6.
Nutritional support
Malnutrition is a common problem in older persons, and in the presence of disease, is accompanied by increased morbidity and mortality. This article provides a rational approach to the nutritional care of the common nutritional problems that occur in the elderly. These problems include obesity, a condition that occurs with some prevalence in older persons, weight loss and being significantly underweight, and hypoalbuminemic malnutrition. An approach to the nutritional management of patients with pressure ulcers is also discussed.
Lipschitz DA: Approaches to the nutritional support of the older patient. Clin Geriatr Med, 1995 Nov, 11:4, 715-24.
Nutritional supplements
Because a pressure ulcer may be related to malnutrition, clinicians should assess patients' nutritional status and ensure that patients receive adequate nutrition to support healing.
The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research's guideline Treatment of Pressure Ulcers outlines recommended calorie and protein levels for patients at risk for pressure ulcers and with pressure ulcers. This article focuses on practical aspects of providing adequate nutrition to patients with pressure ulcers, using a variety of products available for oral supplementation.

Pressure ulcers
Pressure ulcers: a review
This article reviews the etiology, pathology, description, risk factors, prevention, medical and surgical management, and complications of pressure sores. Pressure ulcers, which develop primarily from pressure and shear, are also known as decubitus ulcers, bed sores, and pressure sores. They continue to occur in hospitals, nursing homes, and among disabled persons in the community. Estimates of the prevalence of pressure ulcers in hospitalized patients range from 3% to 14% and up to 25% in nursing homes. Persons with spinal cord injury and the elderly are two groups at high risk. The most common sites of development are the sacrum, ischium, trochanters, and about the ankles and heels. Areas of ongoing research such as electrical stimulation nd growth factors are discussed.

The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research supported the development of guidelines for the prediction and prevention of pressure ulcers.
Based on the best available scientific evidence, the guidelines recommend that individuals who are bed- or chair-bound should be assessed further for risk and receive care according to the risk factors.
Appropriate actions include managing tissue loads, reducing exposure to moisture, managing incontinence, and assuring adequate nutrition. The guidelines are presented, research supporting the guidelines is summarized, and relevant articles published since the release of the guidelines are reviewed.

In the 1993 survey, the prevalence of pressure ulcers was 11.1% in 177 hospitals. This is higher than the 9.2 prevalence rate Meehan found in 1989. The sacrum, with 38% (n = 2,168) of all reported ulcers, remains the most common site for pressure ulcer occurrence.
Patients between the ages of 70 and 89 years of age had 54% of the ulcers found. The average number of ulcers per patient was 1.73. Dark-skinned, African-American patients again were found to have the majority of Stage IV ulcers. There were 1,024 ulcers reported in this stage group, and of these, they had 16% (n = 164). Of patients with ulcers, 22% were on some form of air or foam overlay support system; however, standard mattresses and mattress replacements were used for 31% of all patients with pressure ulcers.

Thermal changes
Elderly subjects are prone to develop pressure sores over the sacrum area mainly due to external pressure and shear effects which negatively affect the skin microcirculation.
The total microcirculatory blood flow increased over 16 times and the nutritive transport approximately 5 times compared to the reference value, and the calculated blood flow of subpapillary tissue layers increased 17-19 times. However, the skin temperatures in damaged and undamaged skin did not differ significantly. These results show an increased skin microcirculation in the early stage of pressure sores but no increase in skin temperature. The more strongly increased skin blood flow in subpapillary layers effectively conducts away the heat caused by the damage and the increased metabolite activity.
"Skin microcirculatory and thermal changes in elderly subjects with early stage of pressure sores." Schubert, V; Perbeck, L; Schubert, P.A. Clin. Physiol. 1994 Jan; 14(1): 1-13.
Topical EFAs
Topical essential fatty acids (EFA)
Investigated whether the topical application of essential fatty acids improves hydration and elasticity and helps prevent skin breakdown in individuals with poor nutritional status.
Every 8 hours, approximately 20 ml of solution A (1.6 gr EFA with linoleic acid extracted from sunflower oil, 112 UI vitamin A, and 5 UI Vitamin E) or B (1.6 gr mineral oil, 112 UI Vitamin A, and 5 UI Vitamin E) was applied all over the body inclusive of all potential wound sites for a mean of 21 days.
Essential fatty acids really do make a difference in the skin.

What do I receive as a carded athlete?
As a carded member of the Canadian sailing team you receive access to the following:
- Financial Assistance Program and Tax Receipting
- Direct Financial Support from CYA via Block Funding and Worlds Funding, this support does not cover the total costs of any single program but rather helps offset costs associated with your training and competition program.
- Access to CYA boat insurance program.
- Sport Canada Athlete Assistance - $1500/month for Senior Card athletes and $900/month for Development Card Athletes or those carded at Senior Card level for first time.

How are "Worlds Funding" and "Block Funding" calculated?
Worlds Funding: Financial support designated by the CST to each athlete, to be used exclusively for the purpose of qualifying for and/or attending the World Championships in the class in which you are carded.
Block Funding: Financial support designated by the CST to each athlete, to be used to offset costs related to all other approved training/competitive events.
Reimbursement of funding for activities outside these parameters will only be based on a pre-approved agreement with the High Performance Director.
The athlete allocations are based on the overall budgetary limits of the association. Each Program / Athlete receives funding based on the priorities set out by the Olympic Development Committee working in conjunction and within the limits and directions of the Canadian Sport Review Panel.
The team is ranked according to the ranking structure set out in the annual Carding Criteria. Athletes ranking within tier 1-3 attract the lion's share of the available CYA funding while those in tier 4 and development level receive significantly less.
A similar system exists for paralympic athletes.
What Expenses can be claimed against World and Block Funding Allocations?
The following expenses can be claimed against World or Block funding allocation forms:
|Air Travel:

What types of Team Selection Criteria are utilized?
Objective Criteria will be utilized by the Olympic Development Committee in decisions relative to athletes in the following areas:
- National Team Status (i.e. selection to National Team for carding purposes, carding criteria is utilized)
- Major Games Teams (e.g. Olympic Team, Paralympic Team, Pan American Games Team and other appropriate "Major Games" Teams)
- CST Financial Support
- Block funding and Worlds blocks based on rank within team which is based on Carding Status:
Tiers 1-4 and Development Athletes
- The ODC reserves the right to provide financial assistance to additional athletes as identified by, but not restricted to, the following:
- "Elite" performers returning following "retirement" from Olympic Class sailing
- Youth/Development athletes having demonstrated elite international performance at age group events
- Recognized athletes' having not achieved carding status
Areas where subjective criteria will be used in selecting athletes:
- Training events, not limited to camps and clinics where "closed" training events require number limits (i.e. quality control, organizing authority stipulation, etc...)
When will criteria relative to team selection be published?
Where objective criteria as outlined above are utilized for selecting athletes for participation in activities, the criteria to be used will be published in advance as per the Athlete Agreement.
Where subjective criteria are utilized as outlined above, the time frame over which athletes are evaluated will be published. The subjectivity used in selection is not realistically defined, as then it becomes an objective measure. Instead the ODC subjective evaluation is based on coach opinion of what is most appropriate and fundamentally sound in achieving the goals of the association in consideration of athlete interests. This evaluation will include but is not limited to: past performance in training and competition, estimation of future performance potential, team chemistry, value of long term CYA investment and so on.

This was not at all moisturizing; it uses alcohol to sanitize, just like any other hand sanitizer. While I like the smell, it is very very strong, and if you touch your lips or food afterwards, even an hour later, you will taste it.
As far as hand sanitizers go, this one was ok. It smelled ok at first, but then leaves a weird after scent. I think I'd rather stick with the ones I have now.
The scent is lovely. Even my boyfriend likes it and it leaves my hands very moisturized. Worth the high price.
This is a nice alternative to the other hand sanitizes. It is a little more expensive, but it doesn't dry your hands out like others,and the alcohol smell isn't as string. It made a really nice gift for my friend. I keep one on my office desk.
I am a stickler for clean hands but I hate how dry hand sanitizers leave my hands especially in the winter when my skin needs moisturizing the most. This stuff is heaven sent! Germ free hands that are moisturized without feeling greasy... can't ask for more!
Standard hand sanitizers smell of alcohol and dry your hands out. This one smells pleasant and moisturizes. I keep this on my desk at work and people always compliment the the smell when I use ur
Leaves a greasy film on my hands, not a huge fan. It also smells bad. I prefer the alcohol smelling hand sanitizers from the drug store.
My daughter and I love this. It is very moisturizing and doesn't dry our hands out :D
I'm not a big hand sanitizer user. i think the product was nice, but was crazy about it. I appreciate that it doesn't smell like alcohol though
Unpleasant smell. Seemed slightly more moisturizing than standard hand sanitizer.

A tool to haul down a stuck kite
A tool to haul down a stuck kite
Hello, has anyone had the experience for having their kite "stuck" in a strong wind? What tools do you know of that would permit a single flyer to haul down the kite?
Re: A tool to haul down a stuck kite
The right tool for the job depends on the size of the kite and the strength of the wind. As well as a variety of other factors like how much room you have to bring it down in.
Most of the time for what I fly, a pulley hooked over the line with a length of strap attached as a handle will allow an anchored kite to be walked down. With bigger kites and stronger winds you may need additional straps to the pulley for more people holding the kite down. I've been part of a group of 8 burly guys struggling to bring down a big kite. Sometimes it's best to get the kite down before the wind builds.
Tell us more:
What kind of kite are you trying to bring down?
Anchored or hand flown?
Large open field or small patch to fly from?
Re: A tool to haul down a stuck kite
How do you get the pully over the line. Could you post a picture. I've seen other fliers use a strap with a carabiner to bring the kite down. Multiple haul downs wear a grove in the carabiner. I do a hand over hand but my single line kites are not that large.

Re: A tool to haul down a stuck kite
Hello guys, Permalink asked about the type of kite. You can imagine any lifter that becomes too much for one to handle easily. Imagine also that the kite is flown over "unfriendly" territory. Therefore a full walkdown of the kite may not work. What method of walking down the kite to a point, catching and hauling in line seems to work. I've a vision of catching and locking the line and walking it back to the stake or bag, but the details escape me.
Reynolds5520. Gomberg kite accessories has the split ring pully you seek. They work.

Re: A tool to haul down a stuck kite
Hey Gumby,
Making bigger fighters :-)
Use a snatch block. Kind I use for big kites. Opens up so you can put line on the roller.

Some use ones similar to this, put a carabiner through the holes after putting it on the line.

Re: A tool to haul down a stuck kite
I have pulleys like the ones Vaino linked to above. Advantages are that they are light weight and it's easy to blow sand out of the open bearing. Disadvantages are relatively high cost and it is easy to get sand in the open bearing, I don't fly at the beach much so the sand hasn't been a problem for me.
I also have this style:
http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/s … asl%3B2-in
This type is very strong but heavier, it is also much less expensive. On this style, you drill out the rivet that holds the two cheeks of the block together and use a carabiner in the hole to attach your strap. When it is time to use it, remove the carabiner, swivel the cheeks on the axle shaft to open a gap for inserting the line, and hook it over the line. Then swivel the cheeks back into alignment and clip in with the 'biner. Additional straps can clip to your carabiner.
Here is a picture from Simon Crafts that show this type on a strap, with a different clip in place of the carabiner.
I could provide a picture of the pulley being opened and hooked over a line. First I would have to find one to photograph, on my last trip they weren't in the bag where they belong.
To Captain Aether's situation with no room to walk the kite down. Sometimes you can walk down to the side or back and hook the line to another anchor, either one that is already there, or one you put there for this. Repeat until the line is all strung between the anchors. In a strong wind you may need a lot of help to make this work. Wait until the kite is down and safely put away before you worry about putting the line away, the line will be much easier to handle once the tension is off.
You could also use a winch at your anchor point to haul the line in. Be very careful of any winch design that spools the line under tension. The spool may collapse under the increasing pressure with each wrap. The crushing force can also damage the line.
edited to properly name the parts of a pulley block - the side plates are cheeks
Re: A tool to haul down a stuck kite
Nice rig.Good advice. The struggle is how to pack lightly and yet have contingency management. I suppose experience and experienced AKA pilots are going to be key here.
Re: A tool to haul down a stuck kite
I found my straps hiding under a folded tarp that I thought was the bottom of the pile of stuff.
Here is the strap I use to pull down big kites.
This scrap of rubber water hose slipped over the strap during assembly makes a much more comfortable handle than the bare strap. Even one inch webbing will dig into your gloved hand with a big kite.
The pulley has been removed from the carabiner, allowing the cheeks to swivel open to be placed over the line.
Here the cheeks have been swiveled closed over the line and secured by the carabiner.
You can see here that this pulley has a simple lubricated bushing in the sheave rather than ball bearings. Keep it clean and it will work great for a very long time.
In this close up you can see how the two cheeks are fastened together by peening over (rivet like) part of one cheek in a hole through the other. Drill this hole out to allow the cheeks to swivel. Smooth or chamfer the drilled edge to prevent wear on your carabiner.
On this pulley (modified by Barry Ogletree and the Whatakite crew) the axle pin has been welded to one cheek to reduce the number of loose parts that could be dropped on the field. The other side still has the original cotter key to allow disassembly for cleaning.
Barry (Whatakite) Ogletree likes to use this clip in place of a carabiner. No loose parts to get lost.
Pull the spring loaded pin to open the clip. I sometimes struggle to close this clip with a heavy load on the line. One hand to hold the pulley on the line, one to swing the clip closed, and one more to push the pin so the clip can latch. A carabiner never requires more than two hands.
I like this light duty strap for smaller kites. I also keep it in my pocket for emergencies on the field. It isn't as easy to hold as the heavy duty strap, but it works great when you need something quick.
Re: A tool to haul down a stuck kite
You have my sincere thanks. That is about as complete an answer as a man could want. I did not know about the second type of clip, nor the light duty pully. I also like the hose on strap solution. When I travel to the city next time, I'll search them out.

My first preference is not to use anything. Pulleys are an additional source of risk - they can collide with fingers, they are nasty on a "twanged" line.
They tend to be an indicator. If a team spontaneously assembles to tackle a big kite issue, the guy who turns up with a pulley is often the one that you need to watch out for - the dangerous one who thinks he knows what he is doing but doesn't.
That said, sometimes a pulley is invaluable. We use a high quality tendem pulley with bearings: http://www.petzl.com/us/outdoor/transpo … dem-speed. Attach it to a strap and to a vehicle and drive slowly to the kite. It is particularly useful when you need to walk the kite down in a direction *other* than straight towards the kite.
When you reach the end, turn the vehicle to one side and land the kite to the other.
And watch out for the end of the line! It seems obvious but it is *very* easy to go to far. If you do, you stand a good chance of breaking something (or tightening your knots so that you can't undo them...)
The weak point with this pulley system is the carabiner. Always think through what will happen if it breaks.

Amazing way to remove dead skin cells. Definitely a better option compared to harsh face scrubbing brushes or harsh chemical exfoliants.
This is a great way to get super smooth skin. Natural products rule. Just mix with some EVOO.
Skin is so smooth after using. I prefer on body as m face can be sensitive.
Worth a try as so cheap.
I mixed brown sugar, pink Himalayan salt, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract. It is a wonderful full body scrub. I was sick of paying so much for the sugar scrub I was using so I just tried to whip something up with what I had, and it works great. You don't have to use Himalayan salt, I just had some that I hadn't used and it seemed a little exotic and luxurious. I do think some salt is a good idea, though, as it will inhibit bacterial growth.

I try to use all organic and natural products on my face and body, with the exception of a few beauty products that i can't live without. One of my favorite home remedies is using brown sugar and creating a whole body scrub that is gentle enough for my face and body. I add about 1/2 cup of brown sugar and combine it with 1 cup yogurt and 1/4 cup honey. It gets all of the dry skin cells off my body and my skin is smooth and even toned after.
Cheap and easy - as many have said - need to make a scrub? Add a teaspoonful or 2 to your bath gel or in-shower moisturizer and scrub away.
Easy to use and rinses down the drain. Love it.

Please everyone, never spend a fortune on fancy-shmancy scrubs and gimmicky, sweet smelling store bought concoctions ever again. Adding brown sugar to any existing body wash or facial cleanser in your current routine is really all you need for the exact same thing. I keep a tub of this in my shower sealed in a take-out soup container along with a plastic spoon. I simply add a scoop to my Dove body wash and scrub away. This gives me the smoothest, longest lasting shave ever. I add a scoop to my Purpose Gentle Cleanser, dampen my face, and gently scrub to prepare my face for any of my DIY face masks. It's not complicated or fussy, but has given me amazing skin. I hope you try it!

First of all let me say I LOVE brown sugar for exfoliating my body. My skin feels so soft and moisturized after I exfoliate, I urge you to try this! I also get a lot of black heads on my nose, so i mix a little honey and brown sugar together once a week and only scrub my nose (its a bit rough for your entire face). I feel like it makes a difference rather than using the damaging pore strips I used to use.
Heres the recipe I use for my Body scrub:
¾ cup of brown sugar
½ cup of ground oatmeal
¼ cup of honey some sort of base oil (you can use jojoba, coconut, almond, apricot or even olive oil).
a dash of essential oils (lavender, bergamot, lemon, tea tree, grapefruit, rosemary, vanilla, ylang ylang, etc. whatever works for you). Optional.
Mix the brown sugar, ground oatmeal and honey in a container. Cover the mix with base oil until the sugar is saturated, add a dash of essential oil and it's ready for use.

I love brown sugar, it's so tasty and mixed with baby oil makes an awesome body scrub too!
I mix these two in a glass jar and keep it in the shower so it's always ready for me. Can be used on wet or dry skin.
I prefer unrefined sugar because the texture is rougher than white sugar and doesn't sting like salt scrub. Also the oil doesn't dissolve sugar so you can keep the mixture in the jar as long as you wish.
Sometimes I add a few drops of fragrance oil from body shop when I feel like using something more aromatic.
Enjoy! Oh, and be careful with the slippery tub!

More reviews by jessiejane1991
great as a scrub- my skin feels smooth as ever afterwards.
just a tip- THAT WORKS
it can be really harsh on the skin so what i do is i make a mixture using redbush tea( soak the teabag in half a cup of boiling water then just use maybe half of it) then ad the brown sugar to the tea to form a paste,a few tablespoons should do it. Then leave this for an hour or so- the warm water will smooth the sugar grain edges a bit making it smother, easier to apply and massage and much more gently on skin. The red bush tea is packed with loads more anti oxidants than green tea- its also caffine free and does wonders as a toner- it also leavs the skin with an amazing fresh dewy glow!
you can store the mixture in a cool dry place and use it for up to three days- just add a bit of water every day and mix it in, if the mixture is too soft simply add more sugar and or water x ♥
I follow the scrub with my 1% retinol by green cream and 2 or three times a week i use lemon juice applied topically ( to lighten and even out skin tone) i used it originally to get rid of my bad acne scars- it is by far the best treatment for red/ pink/ brown acne scarring- far better than the brands and countless chemical peels i have had.

I just started using brown sugar as a facial scrub in January, but only once a week as I find it's too harsh on my skin. I follow the scrub with honey, and it works wonders! But I think I'll follow others' advice and try the sugar with either grapeseed or avocado oil, and see how it works out!

95% of all dust on a sensor comes from the shutter shedding. The solution is to use material that does not shed. This is something we discussed with Sigma, which truly does have a problem with dust, since the imager does not throw away information and blur the rest. Sigma took that seriously and developed a new shutter with new material on the SD14. The dust problem decreased a lot.
Say what you want about Sigma as a whatever company, but they do listen and they have engineers who take problems seriously. Since this change, I have opened up two bodies once each to clean the sensor.

text: The 2009 Keenan Merlot is 100% Merlot, 77% from Keenan's Spring Mountain vineyards, and 23% from its vineyards in Napa Carneros. Grapes are hand harvested and de-stemmed before undergoing a fermentation of 10-14 days. The wine is then aged for a full 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels (33% new). The 2009 Keenan Merlot opens with distinctly Pomerol-like hints of violets on the nose, with Keenan's signature spiciness emerging on entry. Rich, dark, and full on the palate, the flavor impression remains gracefully layered, deep, and elegant, from the fruit-forward initial entry, to the penetrating, emphatically forceful finish.

I think I know what I'm doing but a few questions to see what people think...
Buying a condo, closing end of March and want to get in right away and get the TV and accessories squared away before we paint and move everything else in. I want to mount it above the fireplace and run wires through the wall to hide them. Thinking I'll run 2 HDMI cables and one Ethernet. I know there are ton of other things I could run but I can't imagine needing more than that. One HDMI will connect to my receiver and therefore my DVR and PS3/DVD player and one would be a spare for connecting a computer or something. Then the Ethernet would be for connecting my next TV, which will have internet capability. I can't imagine needing component, composite, toslink or anything else but if there's a valid reason I would and I should install it now. So am I missing anything?
In conjunction I was thinking of installing something like this for power (http://www.amazon.com/PowerBridge-TS...=1OQPUQ91SPQ5O). Logic being that I can plug that into a surge protector and protect my TV rather than tap into power in the wall and not have protection. Is there a better product out there that anyone has used?
Finally, was gonna buy a couple in wall speakers (center, left and right) and install those at the same time.
Thinking of doing all this myself rather than hire somebody since it seems rather easy. My only concerns are 1) that it will be in front of a gas fireplace (though drywall not brick), just worried about having the depth needed. And then 2) I'd have to go around a small corner with all of the cables, see pic for details (http://thumbs.trulia.com/pictures/th...7ac87118fb.jpg)
Anything I'm missing lounge? Comments are appreciated
