5 Records Set by Sandy and What They Mean
Obama Visits Red Cross HQ, Kicks Campaign Back into Gear
1:00 P.M. -- Hurricane Sandy: What's Climate Change Got to do With It?
Scientist predict that the annual number of increasingly intense hurricanes will double over the next century – especially affecting North America's Atlantic Coast.
Why? The short answer, they said, is that it's the result of climate change.

11 A.M. -- Could Sandy Delay Election Day?
Hurricane Sandy swept through the East Coast on Monday, leaving a devastating trail of flooding, millions of power outages, and fatalities. Now, some have begun to wonder whether those public safety problems could affect Election Day, which is just one week away.

5:14 P.M. -- Would Romney Cut FEMA As President?
Though the presidential campaigns have been focused on Hurricane Sandy, the politically sticky topic of disaster relief is making its way to the forefront.
With Sandy bearing down on the East Coast, supporters of President Barack Obama are saying that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney would gut FEMA, leaving it incapable of handling a massive hurricane or tornado.
How would Romney handle FEMA if he was elected president?
Read full story.
4:26 P.M. -- FEMA Update
FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate and NOAA's NHC Director Dr. Rick Knabb held a conference call Monday afternoon to give an update on Hurricane Sandy's progress.
Fugate said his agency is working with the American Red Cross and other organizations to provide bottled water, meals, blankets and cots to those impacted by the storm. They are also in the process of providing large generators to critical facilities such as hospitals and water treatment plants.
Fugate added that the impacts of the storm, such as widespread power outages, could last in to next week. FEMA will also be ready to support states' election teams should there be any election-related impact, he said.
Dr. Knabb said the storm is set to hit land Monday evening, although it is difficult to predict an exact time. Sandy is speeding up as she swirls toward the coast, but the speed is temporary, and the storm should slow some by tomorrow over the mid-Atlantic region. He warned it will continue to bring elevated water levels, and that it could transition to a post-tropical storm cyclone later tonight. The region from the Delmarva Peninsula to Rhode Island is likely to be hit with hurricane force gusts, and rainfall could exceed one foot in some locations. Dr. Knabb cautioned that flash flooding is a continued possibility.
He also added that because the circulation of the storm is so large, and it is capable of pushing huge amounts of water unlike a typical hurricane with a tighter core, when Sandy reaches land is less likely to correlate with peak surge times, so residents should exercise extra caution.
1:28 P.M. -- Obama Talks Hurricane Sandy
President Barack Obama said Monday that he's focused on overseeing the response to Hurricane Sandy for now, and not his reelection effort.
With just eight days left until voting ends, Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney have curtailed their campaign schedules due to the storm, which is expected to hammer the East Coast.
"I am not worried at this point about the impact on the election," Obama said, adding that he's thinking about the impact of the storm on families and first responders. "The election will take care of itself next week."
During a brief appearance in the White House briefing room, Obama said he has spoken with state and local officials along the Eastern Seaboard and expressed confidence in the readiness of authorities to respond to the storm.
"We're confident that the assets are pre-positioned for an effective response in the aftermath of this storm," he said.
Obama urged the public to listen to local officials who are giving evacuation orders and other instructions.
"Don't question the instructions that are being given, because this is a serious storm and could potentially have fatal consequences if people haven't acted," he said.
The president said it could take a "long time" for power and transportation service to be restored to affected areas and urged people to have patience.
"We will clean up and we will get through this," he said.
1:20 P.M. Hurricane Sandy Leaves Death Toll of 69 in the Caribbean
As Hurricane Sandy barrels towards the East Coast on Monday afternoon, the storm has left death and destruction in its wake, killing at least 69 people thus far. Caribbean countries, including Cuba and Haiti, felt the worst of it last week and over the weekend.

1:08 P.M. -- Electoral Votes Could be Affected by Hurricane Sandy
The total number of electoral votes represented states potentially affected by the storm is 172 out of a total of 538. That's 32% of all electoral votes.
The breakdown is:
Virginia: 13
North Carolina: 15
West Virginia: 5
Pennsylvania: 20
New Jersey: 14
Massachusetts: 11
Maryland: 10
Connecticut: 7
New Hampshire: 4
Delaware: 3

New York: 29
Ohio: 18
Michigan: 16
12:30 P.M. -- President Obama Set to Give Statement on Sandy
President Barack Obama will give an update on the response to Hurricane Sandy this afternoon as his campaign schedule looks increasingly up in the air.
The president will speak from the White House press briefing room at 12:45 p.m., his office said Monday. On a separate conference call with reporters, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina asserted they are beating Republican nominee Mitt Romney, but said the president's personal campaign schedule is largely dependent on Sandy.
"We are going to go day by day on his schedule," he said.
The president called off campaign stops in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Tuesday as well as scrubbing his Monday campaign schedule in order to monitor the storm.
Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said it is Obama's duties as president are his first responsibility, and would not comment on Romney's own travel schedule.
"For us, it's not a matter of optics. It's a matter of responsibility. Gov. Romney can decide himself what he wants to do," Axelrod said.
The Romney campaign canceled the candidate's event in Wisconsin tonight and running mate Paul Ryan's appearance in Florida, according to reports. Romney was in Ohio this afternoon and will make its last appearance of the day in Davenport, Iowa.
That brings the total number of Sandy-related campaign appearances canceled to 22.
The Romney campaign announced that Romney and Ryan's Tuesday events would also be canceled, "out of sensitivity for the millions of Americans in the path of Hurricane Sandy."
11:51 A.M. -- Hurricane Sandy Forces Poll Closures
The hurricane-strength storm swirling toward the East Coast has forced everything from schools to federal government offices to close.
Now Hurricane Sandy has also thrown a wrench in early voting, forcing the closure of polling locations in several states.

11:30 A.M. -- Hurricane Sandy Throws Campaign Into Chaos
Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast with a wallop starting Sunday night, tossing a new element of unpredictability into the presidential race with just nine days before the election.
President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney were forced to alter their campaign schedules, which had been carefully tailored to reach battleground state voters during the last full week of a race that has grown increasing close.

Hi All
I'm just starting today. As a 46+ female grouper, I wonder how much I'm supposed to eat? The meal plans look like too much for me. Do people count calories except for the weekly day off?
Thanks for your advice.
I don't count calories exactly, but I also don't eat six chicken breasts every day, lol. I make sure that at least a couple of my meals are lower calorie: low-fat cottage cheese with an apple is a very light meal, and I got protein bars that are 209 calories, so that's a light meal too. You might put together a "typical" day's meals and add up the calories, just to get a ballpark of where you're at, if it feels important to you. Bill Phillips says you don't have to worry about it, in the book. I'll be interested to hear what other people have to say on this, too.
I'm just about to complete week 1 of the BFL program. I've been using My Fitness Pal for a while to log food and it's become a habit, so I've continued to log my food on My Fitness Pal throughout this first week and will continue to do so throughout the 12 week program. It's my way of holidng myself accountable. Anyway, I agree with faithrainbow that 2-3 of my meals are lighter meals. I'm 5 feet 2 inches tall with a goal weight of 120 (current weight 145) - and my calories this week have been consistently around 1400-1600 calories with my macros almost spot on at 40% carb, 40% protein and 20% fat. It's bizarre how balanced it all becomes when following these rules. Obviously, this more than likely will not apply for the free day, but based on my research of the champions, they still didn't go crazy on the free day, but instead focused on more of a free meal type thing. The idea being that you don't undo all the hard work from the week because of one crazy binge day on the weekend. You'd be surprised how easy it is to do!
Anyway, I'm interested in knowing what others have to say on this topic, especially those that have had a lot of success with the program.
Well I am aware of what Bill said in the book about the hand and fist method of calorie counting but I have decided this time to try to count calories and grams of protein as well as carbs and fat and sugar. I will probably be using My Fitnesspal soon as I am already registered for the site but for now it's all in my BFL SUccess Journal for this challenge C3 that I started this week (9april-2 Jul). I am lucky to have one of those handy calorie counter books from the early days for general info on most foods that helps a lot as well as reading and looking for labels. I also keep in mind what Bill said about alchol and it's affects on metabolic rates and will NOT be drinking at all during this challenge ....period. Keep Moving FOrward!
Lucy K - Like WPBill said, there is an BFL estimated way to know that you are in the ball park calorie wise...but I am a data junkie trying to lose weight a little and then focus more on muscle building as a secondary goal.
I track my calories on a program not as sophisticated as My Fitnesspal...which translates into, I believe, easier to use but also means more of a guesstimating tool than My Fitness Pal.
My approach to losing my weight is to eat a chloric intake equal to my Basal Metabolic Rate at my ideal target weight. This will put me at a net calorie deficit situation with the current weight that I am at as well as with normal daily activity. Then the exercise is a bonus on top of that. I try to maintain a ratio of 40%P/40%C/20%F (but to be honest I am heavy on the carbs and I have to work on that.)
Having said that it is always harder to build muscle even in the right percentages of Protein, Carbs and Fat when you have reduced your calorie intake to a net deficit level.
So, I believe it really is what is your goal?
Mine now is more weight reduction first, building muscle second. After this BFL C2 I hope to be near a weight that I want... (not worrying about a specific number here, but rather how I feel and looks - like a trm fit person should).
Anyway, I hope this helps as well and all the best on achieving your goals!
I am not going to tell you that it will be easy ... I am going to tell you that it will be worth it!
I have done the portion control thing and it's been great, because I don't have to think that hard. I've been eating clean, (no oil or fats to And Mypolex Lite afer a workout. Other than that it's just the portion control food. I do usually make my last meal low-fat cottage cheese, and about a quarter cup of fruited fat free yogurt. I am just ending my 6th week. I've lost 15 pounds, and 10 inches off my waist. Best of everything to you on your journey,
Lucy: You do not have to count calories to be succesful with BFL; it is the simplicity that many people like. I didn't count calories during my first challenge, but do now. I LOVE myfitnesspal.com; I keep track of my food diary and workouts on there. Feel free to friend me if you join. You too, Perthmom. My username is schmertnat. I have a lot of BFL friends on there. It also gives you a good idea what others are eating, so you can vary your menus some. Best of luck to you. Remember, you want to enjoy the ride, so if logging foods feels like too much work, then don't do it. Do what feels right so you'll stick to the plan.
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
i ENTER MY FOOD IN AN APP CALLED : Lose it! It's amazing...you just zap/scan the bar code of your food item and it enters it in your daily food log for the day. Most of the foods are on there, but some need scanning.
Im glad I do this because I can gage if I have a little more fat to intake or a little more protein. etc...
Im avg. 1590-1650 cals a day. including 2 veggie serving or more, 1-2 breads a week as carbs, and balance my protein and carb ratio as BFL suggests.
my break down is usually like this:
protein 130 grams a day,
carbs 85-190 a day ( I carb cycle) e.g 1 day low carbs, 2 day medium carbs, 3 day high carbs (still in cal range)
fat 30-45 grams a day.
I have increased my veggies and I am finding a "new" liking to them! :)
Roe !
keep it up!
I wanted to add- I wouldnt base your day foods on low cal v. high cal etc.. This best things to do is honestly follow the BFL portion control. It really is helpful. The more you do it the more you start tweaking things arond to get the results you want.
Some of my goals are to increase in muscle define and lose extra body fat.

Refinishing Found Furniture with Tape
Ambiente 2010
It really seemed to accentuate the shapes of the items and give a real hand crafted, rough edge appeal to the pieces, which was interesting in combination with the super shiny, bright color finish. Because the tape is not quite opaque, it created interesting patterns on the pieces as the strips of tape overlapped.
It was a truly a great example of creativity at work - an "on the cheap" solution that was an aesthetic home run!
More posts on Ambiente can be found right here.

I sorta like it on the tables, for the not so opaque reason you mentioned, but on more organic shapes like the chandelier, It just looks like a messy forgotten about project.
I like it on the tables too. I have these two side tables made of MDF that my friend scratched up really bad when I let her borrow them, and I might actually try this to cover it up.
I also thought of using contact paper or temporary wall paper as well. I'm in the middle of several DIY projects at the moment and want to use whatever is going to make me want to tear my hair out the least.
Definitely want to try this on one of my side tables. What type of tape did they use and where can I get some?
My guess is colored electrical tape would work quite well for this - any hardware store would have it.
the tables look KINDA cool but how would you keep it clean? is there a clear layer over the tape?
Love the effect of the opacity on that yellow table, but how well will these age?
I've had to remove ancient electrical tape from some of my vintage furniture finds -- they're either dried out, crispy, and falling apart or they're sticky, icky, and gooey.
Yeah, I don't think this would age too well . . . you'd probably be better off with shiny spray paint and spray polyurethane.
I'm thinking that paint would be a better option because the tape would not wear well over time.
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what I would call the chandelier in the last photo if I were searching for one like that on ebay or something. THanks.
this is absolutely a good idea.
That's a new one...even for me!! You thought out of the box, this is for sure..lol
I'm a professional furniture restorer and I also teach refinishing online through our website. I love seeing people succeed with such projects.

text: Josh Flint Archives Email Author Follow @Josh Flint Corn Ethanol: Love It, Forget It, Vilify It Prairie Gleanings Legislators seem to have schizophrenia when it comes to corn-based ethanol Published on: October 17, 2011 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print It seems the volume of ethanol detractors' voices are directly tied to corn prices. The markets go up, the critics get louder. One of the more recent thrashings has come with the introduction of H.R. 3097 from Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Jim Costa (D-CA). The bill seeks to adjust the corn-based ethanol mandate in relation to the corn ending-stock-to-use ratio. Therefore, as we have less leftover corn, the mandate goes down. On paper it looks like this: Stocks:Use RFS Adjustment Above 10% None 10%-7.5% -10% 7.49%-6% -15% 5.99%-5% -25% less than 5% -50% The thinking is it will help reduce the price of corn for livestock producers as stocks get tight. I think it's a bit too simplistic. It's not directly tied to price. If it were, it would pose even more problems as meat prices fluctuate. Perhaps most disturbing is it's more meddling in an industry that many feel are ready to stand on its own accord. In just six years, we've gone from trying to build an industry, to cutting it loose of subsidies, to trying to penalize it. Imagine running an ethanol plant in this climate. You'd have no idea if policy makers will love or hate you tomorrow. Of course, the other part of this story deals with distillers grains. Where do distillers grains fit into corn's demand structure? To date, it's been lumped it in with ethanol production. However, as the National Corn Growers Association is trying to point out, distillers grains should be put into the livestock portion of corn demand. The difference is about 20%. With distillers grains lumped in with livestock, you can say about 40% of the corn crop goes to livestock feed. That leaves just over 25% for ethanol production. In the past, most have flip flopped those two numbers. It's a tough call. I can see NCGA's point. However, distillers grains aren't as versatile as corn. Maybe they should have their own slice of the demand pie graph. What do you think?

Alternative Financing
ALTERNATIVE FINANCING OPTIONs
At Pace University we understand that some students may need to look for options other than traditional financial aid to pay their expenses. Two alternative financing options available are private education loans and the Tuition Pay payment plan.
Pace University recommends maximizing your Federal Direct Loans before seeking a private education loan.
New Alternative Educational Loan Regulations Are Effective February 6, 2010:
Private Education Loans are credit-based loans borrowed by the student. It is highly recommended that the student apply with a cosigner to increase their chance of approval and to receive a better interest rate.
Many lenders now offer a choice between a fixed-rate loan or a variable interest rate loan. Upon applying, your lender will provide you with necessary information regarding your options. On either type of loan the interest will begin to accrue at time of disbursement.
If the student chooses to use an alternative loan, be aware that the process could take as long as 30 days before the lender can disburse the funds to the school.
Pace University does not recommend any particular lenders. We will accept and certify a loan from any lender the student chooses.
An Alternative loan is a private loan in the student's name which, depending on the credit worthiness of the applicant, may require a co-signer. Many lenders do not require students to be in a degree or certificate program to receive these loans. Many lenders will also lend to students enrolled less than half-time.
Payment and interest on Alternative loans can be deferred until six months after graduation, or as long as the student is enrolled at least half-time. INTEREST WILL ACCRUE DURING THIS DEFERMENT PERIOD AND IS ADDED TO THE PRINCIPAL. It is strongly recommended that students try to make the interest payments while they are in school to avoid an increase of the principal amount of the loan during the deferment period. Students are permitted to finance up to their Cost of Attendance minus other aid.
The student's credit score determines the interest rate and fees for Alternative loans. We advise students to obtain their credit report to verify that the information being used to determine their rate is accurate and up to date. It is always important to ensure that information reported to credit bureaus is correct.
The three major credit bureaus are:
Applications for Alternative Loans can be done on-line or through a paper process directly with the student's chosen lender. It is the student's responsibility to follow-up with the lending institution to ensure that they have received all requested documents needed to finalize the loan.
Loans must be certified by a Financial Aid Counselor at Pace University in order to complete the loan process. Funds are deposited into the student's Student Account at Pace by a specified disbursement date determined by the Financial Aid Office and the Lender.
Application Disclosure – provided by lender
- Does not need to be signed
- Contains general information about range of rates, terms and fees
- Some lenders will provide to cosigners
- Provides an example of total cost of loan
- Contains information on Federal Student Loans
Approval Disclosure – provided by lender
- Applicants and/or cosigners are provided this form after the loan has been credit approved
- Must be accepted by applicant and/or cosigner within a minimum of 30 days – lenders determine the amount of time before loan is cancelled.
- Provides the borrower/cosigner with specific information about loan rate, fees, and terms
- Provides the total cost of loan based on selected repayment term
Final Disclosure – provided by lender
- Does not need to be signed
- Contains information on the right to rescind loan prior to first disbursement
- Gives borrower a minimum of three days to cancel loan – this is known as the Rescission Period
Self-Certification Form
- Separate from the application
- Standard form containing demographic information, but not SSN
- Must be signed by borrower
- Borrower must provide Cost of Attendance minus Accepted Financial Aid to determine maximum loan eligibility (this information can be found on your award letter or portal)
- Lenders set deadline on amount time allowed before cancelling loan
- In most cases the form will be provided by the lender which will include a loan identification code. However, schools must make this form available to students
- Some lenders will allow for e-signatures
- The Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification Form is available here.
- Contact your home campus Financial Aid office at 1-877-672-1830 for further assistance with completing the Self-Certification Form
These extra steps will cause significant delays in loans being certified and disbursed. We recommend applying at least 30 days before the payment due date. Most lenders will wait until all documentation is signed and returned before sending a request for certification to Pace University. Once we certify the loan, we will have to wait a minimum of 3-7 business days to receive disbursement.
The Tuition Pay plan allows students to make payments over 5 months for one semester. This program is administered through the Office of Student Assistance – Student Accounts. For more information, please visit the OSA web page.

tomorrow, a friend of mine visits me and brings along his iPhone, which has been officially activated throuth iTunes with AT&T. Everything's running smoothly, including YouTube.
Now I'd like to copy the certain 3 files from his iPhone in order to fix YouTube on my own iPhone (unofficially activated through iActivator).
Of course, I absolutely don't want to brick his iPhone or forcing him to restore it, so what would be the easiest way of getting file access on his iPhone? I read a lot about iphoneactivator, iPhuc and so on. Of course I don't want to put unnecessary files on his iPhone if not absolutley necessary. The problem is, that he already installed Firmware 1.01 whereas I'm still on 1.0, so I can't 100% reproduce.
So which method would you recommend? If somebody would post a step by step guide, this would be great. I'm on a Mac, but Windows is also no problem.
Thanks in advance!

Three years ago, I interviewed some editors for an article on horror and paranormal fiction, and asked what they saw as upcoming trends. Let's see if they were right….
"There's definitely been a rise in the popularity of thrillers, ghost stories, and stories based on the paranormal," a Delacorte editor said. "I think the most popular books are the ones that set the ghost story in the contemporary world. There's something about believing those things are out there right now that is thrilling for young readers."
"Pure horror will probably never explode the way fantasy or sci-fi have exploded at different times," a Scholastic editor said, "but the wave of terror ebbs and flows. During any given year, some subgenre or another seems to take off. For the past couple years, apocalyptic zombie stories have been big, thanks to Max Brooks, Brian Keene, and others."
At Llewellyn, an editor said, "We see good, steady demand for well done paranormal thrillers, books that might even be called 'dark fantasy' or 'urban fantasy,' especially for girls. Witty, graphic horror, such as the books by Darren Shan, seems to work well for boys."
In a Candlewick Press editor's opinion, "I think we'll see more graphic fare in all of these areas as the graphic novel continues to gain popularity. It's a natural fit. For middle-grade readers and younger, the emphasis seems to be on series publishing and story collections, while YA readers range more between genre/series fare and lush, literary novels like Twilight."
Seems like they did pretty well. And how about today? At the SCBWI New York conference a few of months ago, Susan Raab said that mystery and ghost stories are thought to be growing. Vampires and werewolves are still big, but not expected to last. Fantasy in general is softening, but dystopian fantasy is growing.
Of course, who really knows? A fantastic book may be ready to launch, and pull back up one of these trends, or start a new one. And as for fantasy, editor Ari Lewin noted that eight or nine of the top 10 books on both the hardcover and paperback children's bestseller list that week were fantasy of some kind. We keep hearing about the death of fantasy, but that seems to be wishful thinking on the part of editors who are tired of it. Readers just keep on reading. (Note that these were not high fantasy (knights and dragons), but lots of dystopian and paranormal books.)
So what's the next big trend? Have you read — or written — a book that you think will light some fires? Personally, I'm hoping that Rick Riordan's new Kane Chronicles series will reignite interest in ancient Egypt, both historical fantasy and straight historical fiction. Because, you know, I have this Egyptian novel I haven't been able to sell yet….
Chris Eboch has this fantasy that she'll start a new trend and beginning authors will submit their manuscripts with covers letters that says, "It's the next Chris Eboch" so often that it becomes a cliché.

Thompsons yucca grows 612 feet high, treelike, with a trunk 58 inches in diameter. The trunk is usually unbranched. The leaves are narrow and stiff and grow in a radiating mass near the top; they are 824 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide in the middle.

New Texas Police Drone Could Carry Weapons
the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle could be used in hunting criminals who are running from police or assessing a scene where SWAT team officers are facing an active shooter.
CONROE, Texas --
A Houston area law enforcement agency is prepared to launch an unmanned drone that could someday carry weapons, Local 2 Investigates reported Friday.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office in Conroe paid $300,000 in federal homeland security grant money and Friday it received the ShadowHawk unmanned helicopter made by Vanguard Defense Industries.
A laptop computer is used to control the 50-pound unmanned chopper, and a game-like console is used to aim and zoom a powerful camera and infrared heat-seeking device mounted on the front.
"To be in on the ground floor of this is pretty exciting for us here in Montgomery County," Sheriff Tommy Gage said.
He said the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) could be used in hunting criminals who are running from police or assessing a scene where SWAT team officers are facing an active shooter.
Gage said it will also be deployed for criminal investigations such as drug shipments.
"We're not going to use it to be invading somebody's privacy. It'll be used for situations we have with criminals," Gage said.
It could have been used to help firefighters in the recent tri-county wildfires, he said, and it also could be handy in future scenarios like a recent search for a missing college student in The Woodlands.
In 2007, Local 2 Investigates uncovered a secret Houston Police Department test of a different kind of drone, fueling a nationwide debate over civil liberties and privacy.
A constitutional law professor and other civil liberties watchdogs told Local 2 Investigates that questions about police searches without warrants would crop up, as well as police spying into back yards or other private areas.
HPD fueled that 2007 controversy even further by suggesting that drones could be used for writing speeding tickets.
The backlash prompted Mayor Annise Parker to scrap HPD's plans for using drones when she took office.
Gage said he is aware of those concerns.
"No matter what we do in law enforcement, somebody's going to question it, but we're going to do the right thing, and I can assure you of that," he said.
He said two deputies are finishing their training and should be ready to fly police missions within the next month.
Tapped to operate the Montgomery County Sheriff's helicopter UAV are Sgt. Melvin Franklin, a licensed pilot, and Lt. Damon Hall, who heads the department's crime lab and crime scene unit. The sheriff said Hall's SWAT team background will assist the department in using the new tool on hostage standoffs or active shooter events.
The ShadowHawk chopper was displayed on a small conference room table as it was unveiled Friday. It displayed a sheriff's logo and flashing blue lights on the side. On the front of the chopper, a grapefruit sized back unit houses the camera and Forward Looking Infra-Red (FLIR) sensor that can detect heat from a gun or a suspect's body.
Deputies said they can quickly switch between day and night vision on the camera, which is zoomed and moved from side to side by a game-like console inside a police command vehicle on the ground.
The display shows up on a small TV-like box, while the actual flight controls are handled from a laptop computer.
Michael Buscher, chief executive officer of manufacturer Vanguard Defense Industries, said this is the first local law enforcement agency to buy one of his units.
He said they are designed to carry weapons for local law enforcement.
"The aircraft has the capability to have a number of different systems on board. Mostly, for law enforcement, we focus on what we call less lethal systems," he said, including Tazers that can send a jolt to a criminal on the ground or a gun that fires bean bags known as a "stun baton."
"You have a stun baton where you can actually engage somebody at altitude with the aircraft. A stun baton would essentially disable a suspect," he said.
Gage said he has no immediate plans to outfit his drone with weapons, and he also ruled out using the chopper for catching speeders.
"We're not going to use it for that," he said.

Rising out of the chaos of post-Reconstruction Georgia, Watson championed the cause of the "little man" against powerful business and political interests. He became a leader of the Populist Party and an advocate for the rights of poor whites and blacks. As a legislator he fought against the railroad corporation lobby. As a congressman he was instrumental in passing rural-free delivery, the landmark law that required the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail to folks far from town.
A lawyer, editor, publisher, writer, if he had not become convinced that among the forces keeping poor Southerners down were Jews and Catholics, and that black voters were being manipulated by the corporate and landed interests in the state, he might have become one of the positive forces in U.S. history. But convinced he became, and the second half of his career was as devoted to racism, anti-Semitism and religious bigotry as his early career had been devoted to the needs of the common man.
So it was hardly surprising that his statue, erected years ago by Georgians who shared his later opinions, would be an irritant and embarrassment to modern Georgians, black and white, who found those opinions repugnant. However, efforts to have the statue removed were never successful – until now.
The steps around the Georgia Capitol are being renovated. The statue is in the way and might be damaged by the construction. Gov. Nathan Deal has issued an executive order to have the statue moved to a state-owned park nearby. There it will stay because, according to a spokesman for the Georgia Building Authority, "to move it back would be a prohibitive cost that's not in the budget."
Not everyone is happy with the decision; there are those who claim this will lead to states removing monuments to people who did things that trouble us today.
Others claim that moving the statue is an effort to "whitewash history."
Tom Watson, like so many others, did things we should remember because they were good but also because they were bad. His statue, located in a park, will remind us of both. However, what Watson and others like him did should not be celebrated or endorsed, which is what a statue on the Capitol grounds does.
Georgia had a dilemma. Georgia solved it. Good for Georgia.

Brissett sharp in NC State spring game
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) North Carolina State welcomed back a quarterback who transferred out and offered an encouraging glimpse of another who transferred in.
Jacoby Brissett threw two long touchdown passes to Bryan Underwood in his first public performance as the Wolfpack's starter, a 34-0 victory by his Red team Saturday in N.C. State's spring game.
Tony Creecy rushed for two TDs for a Red team with the starting offense and defense.

Williams took 1st overall, with an outstanding time of 16:04 over the grueling 5K course, setting a new course record and leading his nearest competitor by over 11 seconds. Williams made a strong move at the 800 meter mark to open up a gap on his nearest competitors, Evan Fortney from Faith Christian and Anthony Rios from Brush. From that point he was never challenged as he continued to build his lead. Williams was followed by junior Nathan Loomis who took 9th place, Dylan Newell in 14th, Brooks Rogers in 22nd and Cameron Bowman in 28th. By putting five runners in the top 30, the Telluride team destroyed the strong 2A/3A field with a winning score of 47 points. The next closest team was the University Bulldogs with 74. Coach Keith Hampton was pleased, but not surprised by his team's impressive finish. "I knew coming into the season that we would have a very strong team this year. We travelled to Denver to search out the best competition we could find to see where we are at. I wanted the kids to go out and have a solid race which is what they did. However, we still have a lot of improvement to make over the season. We are a young team and we are just starting to learn what we can do".
In addition to the strong boys team, the Telluride girls are also making their mark on the statewide cross country scene. In this week's poll, the girls are ranked 2nd , led by returning junior Rachel Hampton, who finished 2nd in the St Vrain Varsity Girls race to returning state champion, Kelly Robinson of Nederland. Hampton and Robinson broke away from the pack just before the mile mark, coming through at 6:04. The two were side by side and pressing the pace over the next mile, which was recorded at 6:01. However, at the 2 mile mark Robinson started to open up some daylight on Hampton. By the finish, Robinson had set a new course record with a time of 18:43. Hampton was close behind in 19:07, a time that was also under the old course record. Following Hampton, senior Josephine Bush finished 9th, Katherine Bush was 18th, Shelby Brier was 25th, and Jessie Hild was 38th. By packing so many runners in the front, the Telluride Girls team finished a close 2nd for the meet with 52 points, just two points behind eventual champion Brush. "Our girls team surprised a lot of people this weekend," noted Coach Hampton. "I look forward to the seeing them continue to develop as the season progresses."

The cost of gastric bypass surgery and whether or not it is covered by insurance varies. Our bariatric patient navigator will contact each patient's insurance company to find out if the cost of bariatric surgery is a covered under the patient's benefits and if there are any pre-surgery requirements.
Many insurance companies require that patients meet pre-surgery criteria in order to qualify for bariatric surgery such as:
An example of what a physician-supervised diet and exercise program might look like.
*Must be performed at an American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence or American College of Surgeons Center of Excellence.
We accept most insurance plans, including:
Aetna®Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Cigna Great Western Medicaid* Medicare*MeritainUnitedHealthcare®
There are many policies within the above insurance companies that don't cover the cost of gastric bypass surgery. Our bariatric patient navigator will help determine if your particular insurance plan offers coverage.
Bariatric surgery typically pays for itself within the first two years after surgery in terms of reduced healthcare costs.
*The Bariatric Center of the Rockies accepts and provides care for those with Medicare and Medicaid coverage-one of the few in Colorado to do so. Call our bariatric patient navigator for more information
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

GNU Ghostscript
Viewing an Encapsulated PostScript recycling logo in a TeX document should have been simple enough. Instead, a blank space marked the position on the display where the logo should have appeared. A quick look through all of my LaTeX documentation, including the xdvi man page, provided no answer. There seemed to be no way for xdvi to display a TeX \special command in the dvi output; in this case, an embedded PostScript image. I considered this to be a major shortcoming of xdvi, and, of course, TeX. After all, isn't combining text and graphics on a page part of what computer publishing is all about? Why should TeX, one of the most sophisticated typesetting systems in the world, be constrained by the lack of a PostScript previewer? Or the requirement for a PostScript printer, for that matter? It is said that the longest journey begins with a single step. The journey I'm about to describe has brought me a considerable distance toward professional-quality publishing, via a utility that had been sitting quietly in a subdirectory of my /usr partition all along.
The utility is Ghostscript. GNU Ghostscript, Version 3.33, is the Swiss Army knife of graphics programs. Essentially, it's a PostScript language interpreter. More specifically, Ghostscript renders PostScript code to any bitmapped device on your system, whether it be the screen, printer, or G3 fax file. The man page says, "Ghostscript is a programming language similar to Adobe System's PostScript language, which is in turn similar to Forth." (This statement comes almost verbatim from the book: Adobe Systems, Incorporated: PostScript: Language Tutorial and Cookbook, Addison-Wesley, 1986.) Ghostscript also substitutes fonts from its own library when rendering documents if the fonts are not otherwise available, scales and rotates text, and performs any of the other typographical feats for which PostScript is famous. Despite the apparent complexity of the task, no knowledge of the PostScript language is required. For the most part, a little experimentation with the command-line options is all that's needed. Yet Ghostscript's PostScript interpreter is fully accessible.
If I want to print that EPS recycling logo at the bottom of a page of DVI output, I would insert the following commands in my LaTeX input file:
\usepackage{graphics} ... \vfil \includegraphics{recycle.eps}
Then, it is simply a matter of running the input file through teTeX, using the command line:
pslatex letter.texand then converting teTeX's dvi output to PostScript with dvips:
dvips -f <letter.dvi >letter.psThe -f command-line option tells dvips to act as a filter, reading from standard input and writing to standard output. Now, we have a PostScript file ready for printing. Ghostscript images this file in a format that's understandable to any bitmapped device on your system, whether it is a VGA display or a laser printer.
Ghostscript's command-line options are numerous. Look at ghostscript's USE.DOC file for an complete description. You can view a brief summary with the command:
gs -help | less
For example, if I want to print the file letter.ps on a Hewlett Packard DeskJet printer, I would use the command line:
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=deskjet /-sOutputFile=-\ letter.ps quit.ps >gs.outThe first option, -q, suppresses messages to the console. However, to run Ghostscript in batch mode, the -q option on its own is not enough. That's because Ghostscript uses its own PostScript code at run time to output the image.
From the command line, we define several variables, the first being NOPAUSE, which tells Ghostscript's showpage() routine not to pause after each page is output. When viewing output on a screen, it is best to leave NOPAUSE unset and let Ghostscript prompt you to view each page in turn.
Next, we set the DEVICE variable. In the example above, the output device is a HP Deskjet. Ghostscript's dictionary has output parameters defined for all the devices documented in its command-line help.
The next variable which needs defining is OutputFile. Here, we set it to - or standard output. This is the file to which Ghostscript will write its image. In most instances, however, Ghostscript provides no means for that image to be displayed. We'll get to that in a moment. Then we specify letter.ps on the command line as our target input file.
When we write a file with the pslatex command, LaTeX uses the font metrics available to it; that is, it uses Computer Modern Roman as its default font. However, the pslatex command has been implemented in teTeX so that dvips, which does the DVI to PostScript conversion, will request PostScript fonts. These fonts can be provided via either the printer or via software. In the latter case, Ghostscript produces the output image using Type 1 fonts from its own library.
Finally, we input the file quit.ps. This file is part of Ghostscript's standard library and is simply the command quit followed by a newline character. It is read into the Ghostscript interpreter just like any other input.
Emacs Tex mode printing via Ghostscript shell scripts
The section "Ghostscript as a Document Post-Processor and Previewer" of this article sounds very interesting but doesn't work. More explanation would be nice.
Re: Emacs TeX mode printing via Ghostscript shell scripts
Try to isolate the problem. Do the individual utilities run correctly from the shell prompt? Then, do the shell scripts run correctly from the shell? If they don't, then try to include the error messages. If they do, then try to include the debug output from the Emacs interpreter. Also include the version of each utility, so I can duplicate the errors produced by newer versions. Or, you can follow these procedures, and submit a patch.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Scarah Screams, previously a background character, was one of three characters to have had a prototype doll displayed at San Diego Comic-Con International 2011, the other two being Wydowna Spider and Headless Headmistress Bloodgood. There, Mattel issued a contest, giving fans the choice to vote on their favorite to become the next Monster High doll featured at the Californian-based event. Having won the vote, Scarah was the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con International exclusive doll.
She is voiced in English by Erin Fitzgerald.
Scarah is shown to be a helpful, but kind of quiet girl, who doesn't like to stand out. Even if a tad distant, she's still very friendly, especially to those close to her. She is shown to be compassionate and possesses the ability to "read minds." In "Kind: The Shockumentary," she is one of the few ghouls to still raise their hands after the second question, showing she is not self-centered.
Scarah Screams has unusual white eyes, without discernible pupils or irises. She has a black hair, worn in a 60's mod fashion, with a lime green Alice band. Her skin is a pale blue to greenish tone--not dissimilar to Frankie's--and she has blue to greenish lips. In the cartoon, Scarah is depicted wearing a lime green halter top with an olive green mini-skirt, and matching Alice band. The prototype doll also wears a baseball-style jacket, in black with hot pink trim.
She also has a light Irish accent, fitting with her history. Her choice of color also ties into Ireland, which is called "The Emerald Isles".
Classic Monster
The Banshee is an Irish female spirit, who announces the death of someone. According to various legends, the Banshee can be seen by a body of water, washing a burial shroud, while crying out into the night. It is said that whoever possesses this article of clothing will be the one who is likely to die soon. She can appear in a number of different forms, such as a young girl, a lady, and an old witch. According to a story, a Irish king named Brian O'Bua saw a Banshee. He walked through the woods, and saw an old woman washing clothes, which were covered with blood, and she was crying. The next day, Brian was found dead in his tent. This would have happened around the year 1000 A.D. Since then, people have often heard the bloodcurdling cry of the Banshee, the night before a family member or friend died.
It is said that if someone heard the cry of the Banshee, they will not die, but if they didn't hear it, they will be next.
Scarah is the daughter of the Banshee.
The Facebook update of November 19, 2011 mentioned that Scarah helps Spectra Vondergeist with improving her makeup choices and skills, implying they are friends.
Scarah is good friends with Hoodude Voodoo, who has a locker near her. Scarah likes Hoodude, because he is a good listener, and Hoodude, being a sensitive soul, just appreciates all positive attention he gets.
She is friends with Iris, shown in most webisodes, but most prominently in "Kind: The Shockumentary," as they forgive each other, after arguing.
Despite quitting the Fear Squad, she is still friends with Cleo, as shown in "I Scream, You Scream."
Heath Burns has, four times (in "Hyde Your Heart," "Ghostly Gossip," "Hoodoo That Voodoo That You Do," and "Fright On!"), tried to impress Scarah.
In the Spring 2012 issue of Teen Scream, she says that she has a boyfriend, but it's unknown who he is.
Scarah has been a background character a lot in the cartoon. In "New Ghoul @ School," and "Scream Building," she is shown to be a member of the Fear Squad, though she quit the team in the later webisode, because Cleo wasn't being appreciative of her team's efforts.
- Scarah Screams appears in "New Ghoul @ School," "Talon Show," "Party Planners," "Blue Lagoona," "The Hot Boy," "Bad Scare Day," "Photo Finish," "Bad Zituation," "Shock and Awesome," "The Good, the Bat and the Fabulous;" "Rumor Run Wild," "Idol Threat," "Hatch Me If You Can," "Date of the Dead," "Scream Building," "Why We Fright," "Fear-A-Mid Power," "Varsity Boos," "Falling Spirits," "Fatal Error," "Road to Monster Mashionals," "Queen of the Scammed," "Frightday the 13th," "HooDoo You Like?," "Fear Pressure," "Fear the Book," "Miss Infearmation," "Hyde and Shriek," "Nefera Again," "Frost Friends," "Hyde Your Heart," "Ghostly Gossip," "Hiss-teria," "Phantom of the Opry," "The Bermuda Love Triangle," "Here Comes Treble," "Monster Mashionals: Part 2," "Fright On!," "Kind: The Shockumentary," "Dodgeskull," "Uncommon Cold," and "No Place Like Nome."
Volume 1
In "Jaundice Brothers," Scarah helps Frankie Stein with the homecoming dance video, to win the KBLOOD contest.
In "Clawditions," she was behind Cleo at the performance of the school play.
In "Freedom Fight," she participates in the eyeball fight, during Mad Science.
In "Mad Science Fair," she attends the Mad Science Fair.
In "Horrorscope," she is electrified by Frankie, when the latter tries to stop Draculaura's supposed dream boy.
New Ghoul @ School
Scarah can be seen walking past a couple of backgrounders. Later, she can be seen behind Frankie, when she makes her first impression in Monster High, and walks past Frankie thrice after that. She can be seen in the crowd passing Frankie multiple times. On Tuesday, before the start of class, she is talking to the dark circles boy. During Mr. Lou Zarr's class, she is seen listening, and soon sleeping. After the bell rings, she is walking out of the class, as Mr. Lou Zarr bores himself to sleep. She later passes Draculaura and Frankie, when Draculaura says she can't date until she's 1700, and again before the zombie flash mob. On Wednesday, she walks past Frankie, after the two-headed boy signs the list. During lunch, when Frankie tried to look for a table, she looked at her, and took her lunch to leave. She was one of the fearleaders on the Monster High Fear Squad, who performed the routine for the candidates, for the squad's sole unoccupied spot. When Frankie imagines being her dream self, Scarah can be seen in the crowd twice, cheering as she sings. After Clawdeen and Draculaura tell Frankie that Cleo is giving her a second chance, she can be seen with the two backgrounders. After Frankie says "be ready," Scarah is seen talking to a backgrounder. On Thursday, she is talking to two backgrounders, as Frankie comes to Monster High. At the creepateria, she was eating lunch with some backgrounders, but she suddenly appears in her fearleading outfit, and is in formation, while waiting for Frankie. As Frankie arrives, she moves out of the way. After Cleo says she saw something interesting in Frankie, she can be seen in the background with some backgrounders. As Cleo says "Justin rules!," she, along with the rest of the Fear Squad look at her in surprise, she can also be seen in the background, and again as Frakie talks about Deuce, after Cleo says boyfriend. Afterwards, she is one of the ghouls that got pushed by Cleo, after the interview. She, along with the other fearleaders, is shocked that Cleo is mad at Deuce. She is seen again, as Frankie enters the halls, talking to a backgrounder. On Friday, she is in the crowd of monsters, as they watch Justin Biter start singing, and again she can be seen twice.
Volume 2
In "Hiss-teria," she passes Frankie, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Lagoona, and Cleo in the halls, when they talk about Deuce and Operetta.
Volume 3
In "Creepfast Club," Scarah is among the students electrified by Frankie when she sneezes, and later she can be seen when Frankie enters the classroom.
In "Undo the Voodoo," she helps Clawdeen and Frankie with HooDude in her first official role, speaking and all; away from being a backgrounder.
In "Scare-born Infection," after Romulus passes the cooties to Jackson, he complains that now not only he is a normie, but he also has cooties. He tries to walk away, but slips on a couple of books. Scarah is one of the students who dodges Jackson, until he hits Cleo, who now has the cooties.
In "Boo Year's Eve," she is seen talking to Invisi Billy at the party.

Feb 21, 2013
After a series of fiscal crises over the past few years, the public is not expressing a particular sense of urgency over the pending March 1 sequester deadline. With little more than a week to go, barely a quarter have heard a lot about the scheduled cuts, while about as many have heard nothing at all.
And if the president and Congress cannot reach a deficit reduction agreement before the deadline, 40% of Americans say it would be better to let the automatic spending cuts go into effect, while 49% say it would be better to delay the cuts. Both Republicans and independents are divided evenly over which approach is better, and even among Democrats, roughly a third favor letting the sequester take effect over any delays.
The new survey, conducted Feb. 13-18, 2013 with 1,504 adults nationwide, is the first in a collaboration between the Pew Research Center and USA TODAY. It finds that, as with previous conflicts over the debt ceiling and fiscal cliff, Obama holds the upper hand politically over congressional Republicans. If there is no deficit deal by March 1, 49% say congressional Republicans would be more to blame while just 31% would mostly blame President Obama.

Organic Weed Control

- Japanese Knotweed Control (5)
- Weeding Without Back Pain (3)
- Viney Weeds (4)

Weed Pictures
A weed is a weed, and that's that? Not so fast! Identification of the particular plant you're battling can pay off handsomely in your attempts to get rid of it. Employ my weed pictures as identification tools, then follow the links I supply to learn more about your green enemy.
Weed Identification
Why bother with weed identification? I believe in learning something first about my enemy, before rushing off to battle. In some cases, such research may dissuade me from taking up arms, altogether. But even when I still end up deciding to fight, the research often pays off: I have a battle plan, rather than fighting blindly. It makes a difference in how you fight to learn, for example, whether a weed is annual or perennial.
Weed Control Without Chemicals
When beginners hear about "organic weed control," they may initially labor under a misapprehension. So let me reassure you: it's not just about pulling weeds by hand (although occasionally, it does come to that). On the contrary, this article introduces you to smart ways of dealing with weeds.
Pictures of Poison Ivy
One does not gaze at pictures of poison ivy because it's pretty (although its fall foliage is impressive), but rather to learn how to identify it. To that end, my pictures show the weed at different stages of development and in different habitats, aiding your weed-control efforts against this landscaping menace.
Poison Sumac Pictures
The raison d'etre of my poison sumac pictures is the same as that for my photos of poison ivy: identification. But poison sumac may be a bit more difficult for the beginner to identify. There's no catchy little rhyme ("leaves of three") to follow here. So take a good look at my close-up shots and steer clear of this itchy monster.
How to Get Rid of Bamboo
If you don't want a spreading bamboo on your property, it can be one of the toughest "weeds" to control. How do you get rid of bamboo? The best way of getting rid of bamboo is to use multiple tactics, as I discuss in this article. Persistence is required; you will not be able to kill it overnight.
Edible Weeds
In some cases, plants you've been regarding as nuisances and dubbing "weeds" could just as easily be viewed as "free edible plants." You can save yourself a lot of trouble by changing your perspective. The most efficient and effective control measure against these edible weeds is simply to harvest and eat them, rather than fighting them. Such an approach perhaps represents the ultimate "organic weed control."
How to Install Landscape Fabrics
I'm not here to tell you to use landscape fabrics indiscriminately. There are gardeners who hate them, arguing that, although they're designed to allow air, water and nutrients through to the soil underneath, they do block some of these essentials. Still, there are plenty of cases where it makes sense to use them. I tell you all about weed barriers here.
Organic Weed Control Using Soil Solarization
Here's an organic weed-control method that will be especially helpful to those faced with a major landscaping challenge. If you're opening up land that has been overrun by wild plants for years, soil solarization is something you may wish to look into as a first step in transforming that wild patch into a garden.
Stinging Nettles
Here's the bad news: stinging nettles are so called because they bear tiny barbs that, upon contact with your flesh, cause discomfort. Now for the good news: stinging nettles' rhizomes aren't nearly as difficult to eradicate as those of Japanese knotweed, for example. Some gardeners even grow them intentionally and harvest and cook them.
Vinegar As a Natural Weed Killer
Here's a natural weed killer that's available right off the kitchen shelf! To be sure, as I explain in my article, you can buy a more specialized product if you're really serious; but begin by experimenting with what you have on hand. Vinegar is a non-selective herbicide, so use it with caution!
Removal of Dandelion Weeds
How you feel about dandelions is a good indicator of whether or not you can be persuaded to weeds to help you identify them, plus tips on their removal or control. Killing dandelions with herbicides as a removal or control method is best done in fall.
Ragweed Allergy and Giant Ragweed Weed Control
Ragweed is another matter altogether. That is, unlike dandelions, there are no good qualities to recommend it, and the plant is downright harmful to those who are plagued by hay fever. Fighting your allergy begins with identification, which makes getting rid of the allergy-causing weeds possible. This article offers pictures of giant ragweed, as well as further information on these noxious weeds.
Weed Identification: Common Ragweed, Cause of Hay Fever
If you've read the article from the prior entry, you now know what giant ragweed is. Now meet his little brother, common ragweed. Of the two, common ragweed is more likely to be lurking somewhere in your yard, ready to take you on a "hay ride" in fall -- straight to your medicine cabinet! Find out what this sneaky weed looks like.
Getting Rid of Crabgrass
There are a number of ways to address your crabgrass issue within the parameters of organic weed control, some more feasible than others. One is to use an organic preemergent herbicide called "corn gluten"; but the average person may find it difficult to locate this product. You could also just dig out crabgrass as you see it. Here's my advice.
How to Get Rid of Poison Oak Plants
Poison oak (Rhus diversilobum) is part of that dreaded triumvirate that also includes poison ivy and poison sumac (see above). In this article I introduce poison oak, in terms of what it is, where it's found, and -- most importantly -- how to get rid of it.
How to Get Rid of Moss in Your Lawn
This is mainly a profile of moss as a groundcover that can be quite useful in landscaping. But I do provide tips for eradicating it from lawns, for the benefit of those who consider it a "lawn weed." The growth of moss on lawns is a telltale sign of what a lawn is lacking; thus, "lawn weed" or not, it serves a valuable function.
Treatment for Poison Ivy Rash
Most of my poison ivy articles help you identify it, so you can be cautious and avoid this weed -- and thereby avoid the rash it causes. For the more ambitious, I offer advice on killing it. But this article is written for neither the cautious nor the ambitious; rather, it offers advice for the victim who has just been exposed to poison ivy.
Organic Herbicides
If you're serious about organic weed control, then you'll eventually take a look at some green lawn care and gardening products and see which ones make the most sense for your circumstances. These green product reviews are a good place to begin your research.
Garden Weed Identification
Garden weed identification is critical to control efforts against unwanted plants. Identify your enemies and learn their strengths and weaknesses.

Continental Gator Hardshell Tire $64.95
Like a turtle shell for your tubes.
If you log more miles commuting to work and around town than some pros do in training, the Continental Gator Hardshell Road Tire is the answer to the spare tubes, patch kits, and pumps you've been hauling around. Modeled on the legendary Gatorskin, the Hardshell ups the ante with full bead-to-bead Duraskin mesh to keep punctures to an absolute minimum.

- Extra tread rubber for more mileage between tire changes
- Full bead-to-bead Duraskin protection for no mysterious sidewall slashes

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Moved to AZ 5 years ago and was plagued by flats -- mostly from thorns, which are a known problem in the desert. Went through a number of different tires before trying these. I can't say I never got a flat again, but the frequency went way down. The sidewalls can get a little chewed up, but it seems to be superficial. They ride nice given all the belting for flat protection.
First Flat At End of Second Season

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I ride pretty much year round and these have worn well. Cinders, gravel, potholes...they have been worth the money. Today I had my first flat with them, but it was most likely because of a cut in the sidewall during a very rainy ride. I had to ride on a rough shoulder to let a car pass on an uphill climb and I could hear the hissing as the tire lost air - oh crap. Nevertheless, I put a new tube in and did another 40 miles until I got home. I have to replace the rear tire, hence my visit here. The front is still in great shape. No reason I won't get another season out of that one.

I live / ride in Vermont where many of the roads turn to hardpack dirt without warning.
Are these good tires for that?
Damon Salter
Member since
Yeah, these things are tough and last what seems like forever accoding to my brother. Depending on how often your rides result in dir and gravel you may want to run the wider 25 mm version.
Does the gator hardshell come in schrader?...
Member since
Does the gator hardshell come in schrader? If not what is going to be my best tire for rough conditions?
Member since
Schrader is a valve type and is an attribute of the tube, not the tire. That being said, I've never seen a tube that came in the sizes of these tires (700x23,25) that had a schrader valve. This is chiefly because schrader valves are larger and require a larger hole in the rim. On road bike/racing wheels, this would weaken the rim because they're already so narrow so they're not used much.
Tough Tires
Nate Tovornik
Member since
Definitely an upgrade from the rubber that came with the bike. Even though they're a heavier thick tire, the tread gives it very low rolling resistance, and when it's dry out they're sticky as can be. Can't see myself getting a tire other than this from here on out.
... and then it exploded
Member since
This tire made it about 100 miles. Couldn't return as 30 days had passed. I brought it to a local bike shop that dealt in continental and was mystified and tried to deal with continental rep to get replacement (ultimately failed with no reason given). Side wall blew out. No brake wear near tire. No rim damage. No over pressurization (was on its original air from replacement). $60 mistake. Now 400 miles on my second set of Armadillos (first wore through the first layer of rubber without any flats)
Member since
I did not buy my Gatorskins here, but do want to put in a positive recommendation. Ride on some tough surfaces from road debris to rough road conditions. They have not let me down. Will only be using these from now on. Husband used them on cross country trip from San Diego, back to Florida. Did not have a flat with this tire!
Member since
This is a well made tire. A little pricey but worth every penny.
No flats
Member since
Not a single flat since I put these on! They ride a little rougher than the Vittoria Rubino Pros I had on, but I was tired of winter tire destruction. I'll go back to the Rubino with its good ride and cool colors in the summer.
