Major flooding has hit southern New Hampshire, southwest Maine, and northeast Massachussetts today, where more than 10 inches of rain has fallen in the past four days. The culprit is a "cut off low", a large low pressure system over the Great Lakes that got separated from the jet stream on Thursday, and has stayed almost stationary since since then, with no upper level winds to push it along. The counter-clockwise flow of air around the low has drawn copious amounts of moist oceanic air over New England. The rains from this moisture have brought the Warner river at Davisville and the Smith River at Bristol to flood stage this morning. With another 1-2 inches of rain expected across the region today, these rivers should crest several feet above flood stage, with moderate to major flooding. The cut-off low is expected to drift slowly northeastward today and get re-absorbed by the jet stream on Tuesday, which will finally bring an end to the worst of the rains. Howver, the weather pattern over the next week is expected to remain wet over the eastern half of the U.S., and more rain is expected in the Northeast later this week as the jet stream continues to remain in a typical Springtime active pattern.

Air pollution season is here
May marks the beginning of air pollution season in the U.S., when summertime brings the hot temperatures, high amounts of UV radiation, and stagnant air that can trigger air pollution "Action Days". This week marks the annual observance of Air Pollution Awareness week, and at EPA's request, I will be writing several blogs highlighting air pollution. In particular, I'll discuss why one of NOAA's P-3 hurricane hunter airplanes will be in Texas for air pollution research this hurricane season, instead of flying hurricanes.
Quick intro on air pollution
Today, I'll present a quick summary of what pollutants we're concerned about. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calculates the Air Quality Index (AQI) for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Ozone and particle pollution are the two most serious pollutants in the U.S. Particle pollution alone has been estimated to cause over 20,000 premature deaths the U.S. each year, and 800,000 worldwide (although the exact mortality numbers and definition of "premature deaths" is controversial).
Ozone is a colorless gas composed of three atoms of oxygen. Ozone forms both in the Earth's upper atmosphere and at the surface. Where ozone forms determines whether it is helpful or harmful to your health.
Good ozone naturally forms in the stratosphere, a layer of air about 10 - 30 miles (16 - 48 km) above Earth's
surface. This protective layer shields us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. Without this layer, we would all be blinded and sunburned. Unfortunately, human-created chemicals are destroying this beneficial layer of ozone. Over the South Pole in springtime, the ozone loss is so severe that an "Ozone Hole" forms, letting significant amounts of harmful ultraviolet light reach the surface.
Ozone from the stratosphere sometimes gets transported to the surface, particularly in high mountainous regions. Hikers on Mt. Everest who don't use bottled oxygen can be at risk of death from breathing poisonous levels of ozone near the mountain's summit in some weather conditions.
Bad ozone forms near Earth's surface when the ultraviolet light in sunlight triggers a chemical reaction with "precursor pollutants" emitted by cars, power plants, and industrial sources. These precursor pollutants consist of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic hydrocarbons (VOC). Ozone near ground level is a harmful pollutant. Ozone pollution isn't limited to big cities like Los Angeles, Houston and New York. It's also found in smaller cities like Raleigh, NC and Cincinnati, OH. It can be a problem in rural areas, including some national parks. Ozone and the pollutants that react to form it (NOx and VOCs) can also be carried on the wind to affect air quality in urban and rural areas hundreds of miles away.
Particle pollution is a mixture of microscopic solids and liquid droplets suspended in air. This pollution, also known as particulate matter, is made up of a number of components, including acids (such as nitrates and sulfates), organic chemicals, metals, soil or dust particles, and allergens (such as fragments of pollen or mold spores). Unlike summertime ozone, particle pollution can occur year-round. It is worst in summer, though, when winds are lighter and the air becomes more stagnant.
Particles come in a wide range of sizes. Fine particles are less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter. How small is that? About 1/30th the diameter of the average human hair--so small, you'd need an electron microscope to see them.
Some fine particles can be emitted directly (think of smoke from a woodstove). But most are formed secondarily from complex atmospheric reactions of gases such as NOx and sulfur dioxide (SO2), that are emitted from power plants, industries, cars, buses and trucks. These fine particles are the worst for your health, since their small size allows then to penetrate deep into your lungs.
Inhalable coarse particles are larger than 2.5 and up to 10 micrometers in diameter. Sources of coarse particles include crushing or grinding operations and dust stirred up by vehicles traveling on roads. These particles are not as injurious to your health, as their large size allows them to be filtered out more readily by your nose before they reach your lungs.
Typhoon Chanchu
The season's first typhoon, a Category 4 storm with 140 mph winds named Chanchu, has turned north, and is now threatening to strike Hong Hong on Wednesday. Chanchu briefly made it to supertyphoon status on Sunday, when it had 150 mph sustained winds and a 910 mb central pressure. This was good enough for a Category 4 rating on the U.S. Saffir-Simpson scale, but not Category 5--which starts at 156 mph. A supertyphoon is defined as any tropical cyclone in the Western Pacific that attains maximum sustained winds of 150 mph. It is not unusual to get a supertyphoon in May, and this last happened in 2004, when Supertyphoon Nida reached Category 5 status with sustained winds of 160 mph. I'll have more on Typhoon Chanchu tomorrow.

Question: Were the Marines at American embassies in the Middle East not allowed to be armed?
Answer: Presidential campaigns lead some people to politicize everything and the tragedy in Libya is no exception.
Bloggers and users on Twitter and Facebook were quick to circulate claims that the Marines in Cairo, Egypt, and Benghazi, Libya, were not permitted to be armed. The story went that the U.S. ambassador to Egypt told the Marines they couldnt use their weapons.
It turns out the Marines in Cairo were armed. Both Mother Jones magazine and Fox News -- two news sources at opposite ends of the political spectrum -- talked to Marines spokesmen who confirmed there were no restrictions on weapons or weapons status.
In Libya, the consulate in Benghazi did not have Marines stationed there -- the security was supposed to be provided by the Libyans.
Finally, its something of a misnomer that the primary mission of the Marines is to protect the embassy. Thats the responsibility of the host country. In the event of a crisis, the Marines will certainly do their best, but their main mission is to provide internal security at designated U.S. diplomatic and consular facilities in order to prevent the compromise of classified material vital to the national security of the United States, according to the Marines Corps Embassy Security Group.
Jeffrey Bruner is the wire chief for the Gannett National Wire Desk in Des Moines.
This is a letter to the editor of small newspaper.
Letter: Why were U.S. security forces for the consulate in Benghazi lacking?
Each day I am continually confused as to the position of our president, the secretary of state and the State Department in general with whether the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was an organized terrorist attack or a spontaneous attack allegedly triggered by outrage over an anti-Muslim film.
The real problem is a small group; a few people or a group overran the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and caused the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other staff members.
The question is why a tragic lack of security at the Benghazi mission was allowed and why did a U.S. regional diplomatic officer feel that local Libyan militia were sufficient to guard the station?
We now have U.S. Marines at the location. Why they were not deployed to that sensitive area before?
Similar to Stans question.
A reply;
So, how many troops would you suggest be posted at each embassy?
Squad, platoon, company, brigade, division.
What would you suggest they be armed with?
Small arms, shoulder fired missiles, crew served heavy weapons, armor, aircraft.
It`s the host countries responsibility to provide the security for foreign embassy grounds and staff.

Yesterday (11Oct56) I was standing in my apiary, putting pollen substitute patties on my hives, when a swarm coming from somewhere West of our property, flew over my apiary and landed ten feet East on one of my peach trees. It was a fairly small swarm, enough bees to cover four medium depth frames, once I shook them into an empty five-frame nuc box. I noticed they were accompanied by a dark virgin/recently mated queen. Of course I will need to replace her as soon as practical.
All plans, of course, will depend on the swarm actually remaining in my equipment, this rarely happens except they install themselves. Sometime later this morning I will check on them to see if they are still there.

Celebrating the heritage of Mexican dance
Posted April 8, 2008; 03:14 p.m.
Ballet Folklórico de Princeton, a student organization dedicated to performing the traditional folk dances of México, will present its sixth annual show, "De Colores," at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 12, in the Frist Campus Center theater.
Founded in 1991, Ballet Folklórico de Princeton seeks to enrich the University's cultural community by spreading an appreciation for México's unique folk dancing heritage. The group's repertoire spans several states of México -- Jalisco, Veracruz, Baja California Sur, Guerrero -- and its newest region, Huasteca Veracruzana.
Traditional Mexican Folkloric dancing is best recognized by the colorful dresses worn by the women and charros (suits) worn by the men. The dance is typically accompanied by mariachi music, which is a definitive part of Mexican culture.
Members of Ballet Folklórico de Princeton have varied backgrounds and levels of dance experience. Tying every member together is the love of dance and the desire to display a very important aspect of Mexican culture through dance and song, according to organizers. The group is made up of 14 current students and two members of the class of 2007.
The concert is sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, the Program in Latin American Studies and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures.
Admission is free with Tiger Tickets marked "Student Events Eligible," or tickets can be purchased for $6 for general admission. They are available online through University Ticketing, by visiting the ticket office in the Frist Campus Center or by calling (609) 258-9220.

An Old WDFW Bashing Story
First of all I would like to say this post in no way represents the WSC and second of all I did not change the post at all to reflect a flyfishing board.
I posted this about a year and a half ago on Bob Ball's BB. Seeing that we are F&W bashing mood, hows this??
This may sound like a really crazy idea but I say that we as the sportfishermam who care about the future of our wild fisheries take over the WDFW. From all the past decisions ever made by the WDFW it is very easily to tell that they are far from the educated sort. It wouldnt take much.
But first I say, like our own American Revolution, we must perform some mass tar and featherings. Those have always intrigued me and I think it would be fun. Am I right?
Then we must have something similar to the Boston Tea Party how about we break into the WDFW, carry away the boxes and boxes of checks written to the WDFW from the Indians, and the commercial fisherman and the loggers and dump it all into Capitol Lake.
Now we are getting somewhere, I guess, I hope.
Obviously though they wouldnt listen to us, so an all out revolution would be the last resort. As we are calmly protesting and burning WDFW flags outside their office Olympia, they would fire the first shot because they are rattled with fear that someone in the public knows more than they do. I dont think guns would be necessary, how about we gather up a bunch of Loomis Backbouncing rods and attach 6 oz. Cannonballs and fire continuously away with our Calcutta 400s loaded with 100 pound Power Pro. As we dig and we decide to starve them to death, it takes a lot longer than expected because of the incredible surplus of Puget Sound chinook given to them by commercial fisherman and the loads of Native Steelhead given to them by the Indians. We then start plastering them with jigs tied on 3/0 Gammas with those super x-large eyes. And then what to do you know here comes Bob, leading another group of sportsmen across Puget Sound in is Wild Hair just like George Washington. They cant take it anymore they are sickened by their losses, starved because they have run out of illegal fish to eat and they cant handle the fact that there are so many sportsfisherman that want to realease fish.
In we push and unanimously elect Bob to the head of the WDFW, the peoples department not the special interests groups one.
And now finally our fish have a chance in this state!!!!!
This may sound like a crazy idea, but it is all-possible and imagine the outcome:
Wild Rivers Boiling With Wild Fish
Maybe Someday, Hopefully and I will start on tying those really large jigs tonight, those things hurt trust me!!

WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election Commission recently made public its final action on several previous matters under review (MURs). Seven individuals agreed to pay a total of $65,500 in civil penalties in one matter. The Commission found no reason to believe the law was violated in four matters, took no further action on one and dismissed allegations in two matters.
Under the law, the FEC must attempt to resolve its enforcement cases, or Matters Under Review (MURs), through a confidential investigative process that may lead to a negotiated conciliation agreement between the Commission and the respondent.Additional information regarding MURs can be found on the FEC web site at http://www.fec.gov/em/mur.shtml.
This release contains only summary information.For additional details, please consult publicly available documents for each case in the Enforcement Query System (EQS) on the FEC web site at http://eqs.fec.gov/eqs/searcheqs.
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent regulatory agency that administers and enforces federal campaign finance laws. The FEC has jurisdiction over the financing of campaigns for the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, the Presidency and the Vice Presidency. Established in 1975, the FEC is composed of six Commissioners who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

What is the FAFSA?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This form is used to determine the amount of money a family is expected to contribute to the price of attending a postsecondary institution. The results of the FAFSA are used in determining student grants, work study, and loan amounts.
The FAFSA application is critical because it is used for Federal Pell Grants as well as Minnesota State Grants and other financial aid offered by colleges and universities. You must apply separately for many scholarships.
Fill out the application completely and accurately, and be sure to get it in on time. Even a minor problem with the form could result in delays or the loss of financial assistance.

Ryan to discuss debate over death penalty, April 26
Posted April 22, 2004; 02:48 p.m.
George Ryan, former governor of Illinois, will speak on "The Debate Over the Death Penalty: Would You Flip the Switch?" at 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 26, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
He was elected governor of Illinois in 1999 and, in January 2000, became the first state chief executive to place a moratorium on any further executions while an intensive study of the capital punishment was undertaken. After a study documented flaws in the Illinois capital punishment system, he commuted the sentences of all 167 inmates awaiting execution to life in prison just days before leaving office in 2003. He was nominated for the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on this issue.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Princeton Justice Project .

Wow! Nancy and Harry are on TV with the rest of the Democrat leadership (Chris, Barney and company) proposing to give your and my money to the "Big 3" so that the Democrats can continue get those UAW and "green" votes! What a wonderful country, a country where elected officials can take my money and give it to the people that vote for them. The power to do this must be written in the Constitution in invisible ink!
PS I have a new Dodge Ram and I still believe that Chapter 11 is the best answer. I did hear a good idea, have the federal government guarantee the warranties on "Big 3" vehicles.

Shares of enterprise software vendor Tibco (TIBX) are down 98 cents, or 4%, at $23.50, in late trading, despite the company this afternoon reporting fiscal Q4 revenue and earnings per share that topped analysts' expectations.
Revenue in the three months ended in November rose 6%, year over year, to $315.5 million, yielding EPS of 42 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $313 million and 39 cents.
Tibco CEO Vivek Ranadive remarked that the company "saw strong, accelerating growth in the Americas and a return to growth in Asia this quarter, while closing a record 31 deals over $1 million in license revenue worldwide."
TIbco is holding a conference call with analysts at 4:30 pm, Eastern time, this evening, and you can catch a webcast of the event on the company's investor relations Web site.
Update: The stock has now deepened its decline, off $2.46, or 10%, at $22.02, as the company on the conference call forecasts revenue this quarter of $247 million to $253 million, below the consensus for $255.6 million. EPS is seen in a range of 17 cents to 18 cents, versus consensus for 21 cents.
The company sees EPS growth this year at a "high-single to low double-digit" percentage rate. That is in line with the consensus for 15.6% EPS growth this year.

Hi have female pattern hairloss. Does applying conditioner on the scalp cause more hair fall generally? Pls suggest a daily cleanser and a good conditioner for hairloss.
Causes of Forehead Pimples
1. Clogged Pores:
The main and universal cause of acne! As the forehead lies in the T-Zone, which is known for its excess oil production quality, the pores tends to get clogged, leading to acne. Clogged pores can easily be dealt with a good CTM (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturising) routine, with a monthly session with the steamer. Please don't overdo the steaming session, however relaxing or effective it is, as excessive steaming is not advisable for acne-prone skin.
2. Dandruff In Hair:
Dandruff in the hair can trigger acne in the forehead. Try to get rid of the dandruff using a good anti-dandruff shampoo. Your acne will vanish like magic.
3. Oily Scalp:
If you have an oily scalp, the oil tends to seep in and results in clogged pores and acne on your forehead. Make sure you wash your hair on alternate days to ensure an oil-free scalp.
4. Certain Medications:
Certain medications like birth control pills have a tendency to trigger forehead acne in certain people. Consult/question your doctor every time he prescribes you any medication relating to hormonal issues.
5. Digestive Problems:
Digestive problem is probably the main cause of forehead acne, if you do not have the issues mentioned above. It needs to be tackled with a balanced diet. Drink lots of water and include green, leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Avoid fried foods and artificial tasters and almost anything that disrupts your tummy's happiness. Exercising regularly helps too.
6. Excess Stress:
Stress is one thing that has to contribute to most of our illnesses in some way or the other. So, beat it by having a healthy lifestyle. Yoga and meditation help in reducing stress to a great extent. No time for yoga? Indulge yourself in a relaxing spa for an instant stress release. However hard you work, taking some "me" time definitely has its own merits, right?
7. Certain Hair Products:
Certain hair styling products like hair spray, heat protectant, serum etc have a tendency to trigger acne when they come into contact with your forehead. Ladies with bangs, beware!
8. Over Exfoliating:
There is an ancient south Indian proverb that says "if used excessively, even elixir will transform into poison". Though exfoliating helps in removing the dead cells and keeping the skin fresh, overdoing it could result in skin irritation and acne. Exfoliation is best when not done more than twice a week.
9. Wearing Helmets And Caps:
If you are someone who drives two-wheelers, then a helmet becomes the most important need. And, we cannot clean our helmets like makeup brushes once in two days to keep them dirt-free. Hence, it is always advisable to cover your head and forehead with a clean cotton cloth or a dupatta before wearing a helmet so that your precious forehead is kept away from dirt and possible acne break out. Forgoing a helmet is highly dangerous.
Cystic acne is a serious form of acne, which is characterized by deep, inflamed acne breakout. Red cysts are developed under the surface of the skin, which cause great pain. Cystic acnes are not only painful, but also affect your appearance and self-confidence.
Hence, effective steps should be taken to get rid of them. Here are 6 effective remedies to treat cystic acne.
- Do not pop: Avoid popping the acne which appear on your skin. Cystic acnes should never be popped because of their depth and popping or squeezing will make them worse. The more you touch them, the more they tend to worsen, and permanent scars may be left.
- Ice: Applying ice cubes directly to the acne affected area for some time constricts the blood vessels in the cyst. By applying ice, the size and redness of the acne get reduced.
- Proper skin care: You should maintain a simple skin care routine and avoid scented moisturizers. Before applying any lotion, ensure that your skin is clean and exfoliated. Use oil free and non-scented moisturizers.
- Do not get obsessed: Avoid spending hours looking at the cystic acne in the mirror. The more obsessed you, the more negative thoughts will come into your mind, making you feel even worse.
- Towels and pillowcases: Do not let other people use your towels and pillows. Abstain from washing these items with strong detergents and use natural, non-scented laundry products. Change your pillowcases and towels regularly.
- Diet: In case of cystic acne, you should take several diet precautions. Cut down the use of dairy products, excessive sugar, grain products and caffeine. Fried food and fast food should be avoided as well.
For better healing of cystic acne, you should consume probiotic rich foods, foods high in zinc, protein and fiber. You can consume several supplements as well, such as probiotics, zinc and Omega-3 fatty acids.
- Relax: Stress makes the condition of cystic acne worse. You should undertake relaxation techniques to reduce stress as hormones released due to stress can make the acne worse. You should try natural stress relievers.
- Sleep: Having proper sleep at night regularly improves your health and reduces inflammation due to cystic acne.
- Exercise: Regular exercise benefits the lymphatic system and detoxifies the body. Your mood and self-esteem are improved, which have been hampered due to acne.
- Essential oils: Essential oils such as lavender and tea tree help in treating cystic acne. With anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties, these oils are effective and can be applied to the acne directly.
Cystic acne is a severe form of acne, which requires proper care and treatment. Several simple remedies can be used to treat the same.
With the current self-obsession of the need to look good all the time, acne is seen as a major problem by the teenagers and adolescents. It is related to the hormonal changes but also aggravated by food habits. During their active phase, acne causes a lot of pain and burning. There is a constant tendency to pick at them to get rid of the pain and the itching.
They dry over a period of time and leave scars which are not as painful but are esthetically a major concern. For someone with oily skin who are more prone for developing acne, these scar marks could be very traumatic emotionally.
There is good news for these people as cosmetic advancements give multiple options for getting rid of these scars. Read on to know some of the most effective ones.
- Laser: A beam of light is aimed at the scar tissue, which does not affect the surrounding tissue but gets rid of the scar tissue. In addition to acne, laser is used in multiple skin ailments (whiteheads, cysts, blackheads, etc.) There is an intense bacterial presence in the acne, and when the laser beam is aimed at the acne, the bacteria are killed. This also reduces further incidence of acne and amount of sebum produced. The number of sittings required would depend on the severity of acne, and most people would require 2 to 3 sittings for complete removal of the scars.
- Photofacials: The outer layer of the skin (epidermis) is cooled and the inner layer (dermis) is heated. This stimulates the production of collagen and fibrous tissue, which replaces the acne tissue, giving a fresher, youthful look.
In both cases, remember to:
- Avoid use of irritants like perfumes and deodorants in the affected area
- Avoid waxing or shaving for at least 10 days before the procedure
- Avoid exposure to harsh sun for about a week prior to the procedure
- Avoid medicines which increase the risk of bleeding, aspirin for instance
Post treatment: In both treatments, the skin may appear red, swollen, and inflamed for the first day. There also may be a prickly sensation, similar to a sunburn. Cool packs or moist cloths and a good moisturizer can be used to soothe the skin. Avoid makeup until the skin is back to normal appearance. Depending on the type of skin and acne, the appearance will take about weeks to months after the procedure.
- Minimally invasive
- Reduced pain
- Completed in one appointment
- Reduced recovery time
- Can be clubbed with other acne therapy modes
- Good results with reduced recurrence and sebum production
With so many advancements, acne marks are sure to go away!!

I hear you. Legacy is carp, but some of the other stuff's been pretty good (Allegiance & Darth Bane come to mind), and the young adult books aren't too fanboy-esque.
I hear you. Legacy is carp, but some of the other stuff's been pretty good (Allegiance & Darth Bane come to mind), and the young adult books aren't too fanboy-esque.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
basically George Lucas needs to stop trying to affect the EU. The last 2 big series in the EU were his idea (NJO and Legacy). The EU needs to be books that loosely tie together but don't form one series. The only good series in the EU is the X-wing series.
The state of Star Wars comics today has me concerned.
Dark Horse is running 4 titles which I quickly review in the following:
KOTOR - which is very confusing and while Zayne and Jarael are likeable, it's hard to get into the storyline. It also should start to characterize Darth Revan and Darth Malak by now, if they are ultimately the Sith that shape this era. The story is failing to do this. I don't get a sense of direction from the series but rather a "Tales from (the era)" sense of it that I don't care for.
Dark Times - this title is interesting, though anecdotal. Dass Jennir is kind of cool to read about. I don't know how important he'll ultimately be or if Vader will just show up one day and cut his head off. I don't know and like the character THAT much to care for sure - but I might one day. Jennir is not Quinlan Vos. That much is for sure.
Rebellion - I'm not sure about this one at all. The main characters have their lives pretty well documented. You know, taking someone like Kyle Katarn and using him extensively in a series like this would be powerful. But so far, I'm not impressed.
Legacy - this is my favorite title of those currently running. I do care for the characters and I think it's worthwhile reading. It was confusing and slow to gain momentum when it first got started. I think they tried to create a new galaxy that was almost too big. But I've settled comfortably into a point where I can now enjoy the Legacy timeline and recollect everyone and everything going on from month to month. It is easily superior to the 3 other Star Wars series running right now.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Are you looking forward to the crossover?
That's my jacket!
No actually. I'm just hoping they pull it off without screwing anything else up.
Here's the thing:
KOTOR - this is so far into the past that while it could be cool, like TOTJ was, if events were really that important, they would have affected the movies.
Dark Times - here it could get interesting.
Rebellion - ditto
Legacy - if it's "that important," then sure it could affect Legacy.
I have a wait-and-see attitude. I'm buying and reading the books anyway. But I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to it.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
How 'bout those "joiner king" king novels? ROFL, I read the first one (took me a long time to get through it) and thought I was gonna throw up. Never finished the series and can't believe some of the crap they are putting out!
I miss the old SW novels before the prequels even came out, much better story lines and nothing will ever beat Zhan's Trilogy!
GIGANTA: A robot that automatically produces fun!
Plus, she loses a limb every time she fights someone, and still comes back for more!
That's my jacket!
So, I'm know curious if the writers of the NJO and Legacy novels have it in for my favorite characters.
They killed Anakin and made every EU set in later time periods almost unreadable. They killed Mara Jade and made me not even want to rethink my opinion. And now
Spoiler for Revelations:
Tahiri, the one character I could kind of almost salvage (though she hasn't been the same since the Vong got her) is second banana to **** Lord Douche Caedus as his apprentice! If only they hadn't neutered Corran Horn and made him an unlikeable jerk.
I swear it seems like this rolling snowball of bull**** started after Lucasfilm made the authors kill off Anakin Solo. Any plan they had suddenly got tossed out the window, and they've just been winging it since then.
I kind of want to read parts of the Legacy novels for the Mandalorian stuff, but I'm just not sure it's worth tip-toeing through the piles of crap looking for the good stuff.
Edit: I added some spoiler space, because I forgot to do so.
Member 104 of the SWC forums . . . but it's good to be back.
Good traders: DarkJedi5, jediguy, Jedi_Master_Guyute, jedimastergeorge06
I don't mind the spoilers, but I haven't read the Legacy novels.
It was my intention to re-read everything starting with Vector Prime and go into the future from there. I own the Dark Nest stuff but have never read it either.
I once was the go-to guy on the EU around here, but my interest in the future waned after NJO (which I liked). Then I felt "done with it," though I enjoy the Legacy comics.
Instead I fervently read Clone Wars stuff and took a lot of interest in that era.
That's why I'm re-reading NJO and getting re-acquainted with the future of Star Wars.

SPRINGDALE, AR - Wisconsin Badger wide receiver Jared Abbrederis won the Burlesworth Trophy Monday given to the nation's most outstanding player who began his career as a walk-on.

This study was just published by the Colorado Trust, a non partisan Health foundation.
The Future of Colorado Health Care: An Economic Analysis of Health Care Reform and the Impact on Colorados Economy projected that health care cost growth will be between 5.5% and 17% lower in Colorado than it would have been without reform. This translates into premiums for employer-sponsored insurance in 2019 that are between 10% and 25% lower due to lower overall cost growth. This means that families and businesses in Colorado could expect premiums for employer-sponsored insurance to be $1,962 less per year for individual coverage and $3,917 less per year for family coverage in 2019 than they would have been without federal health care reform.
The study also projects that increasing health insurance coverage in Colorado will spur increased economic activity and create more jobs, even after accounting for the costs of financing reform. In 2019, state economic output should be nearly 1% higher than it would be without reform and there will be roughly 19,000 new jobs as a result of the coverage expansion.
Key reasons for these savings include: EXPAND COVERAGE AND LOWER UNCOMPENSATED CARE COSTS. It is estimated that uncompensated care would have cost Coloradans $1.8 billion dollars in 2019 without federal health care reform. The ACA calls for expanded coverage, equalization of Medicaid reimbursement levels and for private payers to hold down their cost increases.
MAKE THE MEDICAL SYSTEM MORE EFFICIENT. The ACA encourages health system reforms such as paying health care providers for value rather than for volume and the expansion of programs like medical homes, accountable care organizations and health information technology.
INCREASE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AND NEW JOBS. As more Coloradans obtain health insurance and seek medical care, there will be an increased demand for health care workers. In turn, this increased demand will lead to more health care-related job opportunities in Colorado, resulting in more individuals with disposable income to buy other consumer goods from Colorado businesses.
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY WITH IMPROVED HEALTH. The economic losses from the uninsured are between $1.82 billion and $3.87 billion in Colorado per year.1 At least some of this value could be recouped through healthier, more productive workers who would earn more income and thereby increase the states tax base.
Thought some of you basher of the new health care might like Colorado research facts.

Delta Air Lines Inc.'s (DAL) deal to buy a 49% stake in Virgin Airways was the third major move in the airline industry in recent years, after the merger between United and Continental, and Southwest Airlines Co.'s (LUV) acquisition of AirTran. With a US Airways-American Airlines merger considered highly likely, is the U.S. airline industry finally taking steps to healthiness?
The question needs to be asked because of this:
As Doug Henwood notes, since the industry was deregulated in the late 1970s it has lost a cumulative $42 billion in 2011 dollars. The problem was best summed up earlier this year by Matt Yglesias, using GAO data:
For decades people have been flying around the country in airplanes and yet in the aggregate the whole thing is a stunning business failure. Southwest has made money and basically nobody else has.

Wipro's yet to be launched remote fetal monitoring solution for high risk pregnancies is a wireless CTG (cardiotogograph) for antenatal care and labor or delivery that uses a small wearable wireless fetal-maternal monitoring device. The solution offers ambulatory belt-less monitoring solution that needs minimal user intervention. Accurate FHR/ MHR/ UA surveillance is additionally supported by electronic storage of clinical data and decision support software that acts as aid to the doctors.
Currently, two pilot studies are taking place in India and the company plans to launch the device in November 2012.
The way forward
The advantages of telemedicine are manifold, but so are the challenges that hinder growth of this field in the Asia Pacific region. For instance, there are infrastructural issues, such as poor bandwidth and expensive bandwidth. In remote and rural places, this is still a hurdle. Next challenge is in implementation. It requires training technicians, IT staff and local doctors to handle the latest technologies. The high prices of the technology also play a spoilsport in many instances and this holds back penetration in the market.
But opportunities exist only where there is challenge and unmet need and this leads to innovation. Therefore, the industry is increasingly focusing on bringing down the cost component of these technologies and make them user-friendly.

|Propwash A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour... good times!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have a dual axle trailer, last winter I had a trailer shop take a look at them and they replace 2 bearings when the re-built the brakes.
Personally, I would rather replace then re-pack just to avoid any problems.
Good luck,
trailor maintenance
Did some work on my trailer over the weekend. The guy who had my trailor before me never did any maintenance on the rollers. I had two fall off last year and one this year. The guy at the trailor store said the crimp clips and washers should be replaced every five years. My trailor is nine years old and most of the crimp clips were all corroded and needed to be drilled out to replace them. It was a big job that I am glad I got done. Any body else out there with an Easy Loader roller trailor have any comments?
How about the bearing hubs, they have some corrosion on the outside of them. The bearings are always kept well greased, but I wonder about the hubs. Any ideas on how long they last before they should be replaced?

Great Idea Rob
You know you have brain fog when you are talking to your sister on the phone and she asks you what all the noise is and you tell her you can't find your darn cell phone. Then
she replies your talking on it. Happened the other day :0)
Today's story is brought to you by work. Yesterday I voided a check. Well today I couldn't remember what I did with it. Cleaned my desk but couldn't find it.
Well after an hour & a half of looking and cleaning; I found it. Right where it belongs in the box for voided checks.

know how that feels always loosing cell phone so i ring from my house phone just so i can find it, also my tablets having trouble sorting them most of them are now a white colour so i have keep on double checking them. stephen bought me in three cups of tea yesterday and i forgot to drink all of them. thank goodness for my white board or i would be keeply useless. i look for my glasses to read with and he tells me there on my head.
You know you have brain fog when you look all overthe house for your car keys and they where in your hand all along!
You know you really have brain fog when your ramsacking the house, yard and car and even looking in the trash for $860 you lost, just to find you hid it in the DVD case and cant remember putting it there with petty cash checks! ( I did this just last week)
You know you have brain fog when....you call the bus driver and police in tears trying to find you daughter just to find out you wrote her a note to go to her friends house!
You know you have brain fog when you actually get out of your car to wash your dirty windshield before leaving your house (and YES!!! I am now finally being allowed to drive short distances!) and then get back in the car and notice that the windshield is still dirty so you wash it again, and......30 minutes later you (I) finally figure out that the windshield is not dirty: I don't have my glasses on.
you know it's brain fog when you hurt your foot and don't know what you did. I've got bruises and marks; but no idea what happened.
Just thought some of the new people might enjoy this
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

You know you have brain fog when you are looking for the keys to a locked cabinet and your husband tells you that they are hanging around your neck! He says "honey, thats why we bought the laniard for you to wear around your neck, remember?". LOL UGH! GREAT idea Rob! These posts could go on forever from us ALL!!! LOL

- Description
Mojave Airport, one of a handful of outlying air fields where abandoned aircraft wait to be recycled.
Looking at these once proud "birds" just sitting there, abandoned, amidst the windblown scrub, evokes a sad sense of nostalgia.
In truth, to continue to operate these machines once they develop stress fractures and other wear and tear defects would present a huge safety hazard. The recycled metals may someday fly again as part of other, new aircraft until they too must be retired, and once more the cycle repeats.
A great deal of historical information and other images, many from brighter days, may be found online by web searching these aircraft ID numbers.

Gadget Guy: eStarling Impact V
Steve Van Dinter Explores Digital Picture Frame
eStarling Impact VRating: 4 out of 5 Price: $199
Ever wanted to get a digital picture frame for a relative, but worried they wouldn't be able to use it? Here's a gadget that can put those fears it rest. It's the Impact V from eStarling. It looks like any other digital picture frame out there, right? There's one important difference about this one that will make a big impact on the user: It has WiFi! That means it can connect to the Internet opening it up to a whole wide world of additional options.
VIDEO: Watch The Report
So, first things first. Like a traditional digital picture frame, it does allow you to insert your camera's memory card and instantly start playing it. With an 800x600 resolution 8-inch screen, the pictures look great. You can also show a slew of video files and formats from your phone's 3GP videos to DVD-quality mpegs.
But here's where things get interesting, set it up to connect to your home wireless internet connection and get ready for some fun. Because now you don't ever have to physically put a memory card into the frame. Instead, visit www.estarling.net from anywhere in the world and upload your pictures or videos.
Or, simply e-mail them to your frame. That's right it has its own e-mail address and will check the mail every few minutes, download the pictures attached and then store them on the 512 MB of internal storage and display them on the screen.
Think of how great this would be to give as a gift to grandma and grandpa and then send them photos of your kids for instance. And since it's an e-mail address you're sending to, all of the grandchildren could send those pictures in as well.
Or, sign up for a feed from Flickr. It lets you receive everything from nature images to pictures of holiday lights. You can also subscribe to an RSS feed and even have pictures from Facebook automatically transfer.
The Upsides: It's very easy to use, once you hook it up to the wireless network. Essentially, if it's given as a gift, it could be set up and then left on, or put on a schedule to turn on and off at a given time and then left alone. Uploading is easy via the Web or the device's e-mail address. It has a great picture quality and the video playback is good as well.
The Downsides: Deleting pictures isn?t quite as intuitive as you might hope. It connects to four types of wireless networks, WEP and WPA, but not more unusual ones like shared WEP connections for instance.
The Bottom Line: All in all, this would be a great, last-minute gift for a relative that really the whole family could use.

I took this panorama while it was snowing. It was a real challenge, but with help of my brother (Parham) and my cousins (Pezhman and Bayan) ((by holding my cap over the camera! Not to get wet)) I finally did it. The result is not bad. The interesting story is that it was 11th of Farvardin (the first month of Persian calendar) and it was snowing while there was only one real snow in Tehran during the last winter.

2013 Vintage Harvard Crimson Football Calendar
Price: $19.95
From the back cover: Hear the roar of the fight song, the cheerleaders' chant, and the cracking of shoulder pads from Harvard games gone by, with this set of twelve historic program covers from Crimson football history. Each month's image is a ticket to the majesty and pageantry that made Boston Saturdays legendary. Printed on FSC-certified paper and soy-based inks, the past comes to life in vibrant, nostalgic hues. At the end of the year, each page is perforated for easy removal and display in a standard 11"x14" frame. Turn any room into a hallowed archive of treasured Harvard memories.About the Images
The images featured in this calendar are archival-quality reproductions of the covers of the actual souvenir game programs that were sold at the games many decades ago. In some cases the images have been digitally repaired and restored where creases, tears, marks, or other damage would have otherwise distracted from the appreciation of the artwork as it appeared at that time. Some images have been cropped and/or resized to fit this format.
Collector's Series
This calendar is part of a collector's series featuring archival-quality reproductions of home and away game souvenir programs. Each year brings 12 different cover reproductions from actual programs that were sold at the stadiums during the early 1900s to the 1960s. We will be introducing other products featuring some of the most popular images; however, this unique format of 11"x14" frame-ready prints will almost always feature different, authentic cover images each year.
Officially Licensed
This is an officially licensed product. Part of the proceeds of each sale goes back to the school.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Online health insurance broker eHealth Inc. lost more than a fifth of its value Friday after falling short on fourth-quarter earnings and offering a 2013 forecast that was below expectations.
EHealth EHTH, +2.85% dropped more than 22% to $19.71 at the close on the news. The company said net income for the quarter was $2.45 million, or 11 cents a share, compared with $2.26 million, or 11 cents a share, for the same period a year ago.
Revenue was $45.3 million compared to last year's $43.1 million.
Meteorite injures hundreds in Russia
A meteorite plunged to earth near Chelyabinsk, over 900 miles east of Moscow. Hundreds were injured by the explosion but there was no major destruction.
Adjusted earnings were 18 cents a share, short of the 21-cent consensus from analysts polled by FactSet. Those analysts also projected sales of $46.8 million.
The company said it didn't realize as much revenue in the fourth quarter as expected, due mostly to the conversion to direct marketing from a referral-based model for its Medicare business.
Company officials said that the latter allows eHealth to recognize revenue immediately but the former brings in more sales over the long term.
EHealth also projected adjusted earnings of 61 to 71 cents a share for 2013, below what had been an estimate of 76 cents from FactSet. That consensus on Friday was brought down to 69 cents.
Concerned about the company's prospects as states begin to set up their own health exchanges under President Obama's health-care overhaul, Steven Halper, analyst for Lazard Capital Markets, urged investors to "stay on the sidelines for now."
"We anticipate investor disappointment in the company's 2013 guidance, but hope may remain that growth will accelerate in 2014," Halper said in a note. "That said, we believe there are too many uncertainties at this juncture."

TUPELO – While they agree on many of the issues facing Tupelo, the mayoral candidates have a clear divide when it come to financing their campaigns.
Attorney Jason Shelton plans to absorb the bulk of his campaign expenses through his personal income. Businessman and Ward 2 Councilman Fred Pitts believes in others investing in his campaign.
If the election four years ago suggests spending this year, Shelton, a Democrat, and Pitts, a Republican, should expect to spend significant sums of money. Incumbent Mayor Jack Reed Jr.'s political action committee raised about $147,000, while general election opponent Doyce Deas raised more than $53,000.
This election season Reed decided not to seek a second term, and Deas chose not to try a second time.
Unlike 2009, this year's mayoral candidates do not have opponents in the party primaries May 7. However, they still plan to spent plenty of money.
Shelton has said he hasn't set a budget for how much he will spend in the race but says it will be enough to win the June 4 general election.
"We're going to be competitive in spending and financing this campaign," he said. "Money in a campaign is a necessary evil."
Television and newspaper ads, political yard signs, billboards, push cards, T-shirts and many of the other trappings of politics take money.
"I'm going to spend my own money for necessities of the campaign and to be a viable candidate," Shelton said. "I'm not financially able to bankroll a campaign, but the same time my friends and family didn't qualify to run for mayor – I did."
Pitts said he's not willing to cover the expense of an election that he expects to cost $75,000. He understands that his fundraising will expand dramatically compared to his City Council campaign, when he raised just under $6,000 in 2009.
Beginning Monday, he'll spend an hour each day calling people asking for money. Having worked in sales for decades, he said he's not discouraged when people say no.
"It helps if you believe in what you're selling," said Pitts, sitting inside his campaign headquarters surrounded by red political signs with his name on them.
A month ago, Pitts held his first fundraiser at the Silver Moon in downtown Tupelo. A few days ago, he held a second fundraiser at the same location. While he declined to say how much the fundraiser raised, Pitts said he received 25 to 30 checks out of the 150 or so people who attended.
So far, Pitts said his average contribution has been about $200 with about 100 donations total. Shelton said he hasn't done any formal fundraising yet but has received unsolicited contributions.
At the end of the month, all candidates for municipal office must turn in campaign finance reports to the city clerk's office. Candidates must name contributors who give more than $200, along with expenses more than that amount. They must also list how much cash on hand they have or face fines of $50 per day for late reports.
Among incumbent Tupelo City Council members, Mike Bryan of Ward 6 and Markel Whittington of Ward 1 raised the most money with $16,978 and $10,254 respectively in the 2009 campaign. Jim Newell of Ward 3 raised $2,205, Nettie Davis of Ward 4 raised $750, Jonny Davis of Ward 6 raised $2,500 and Willie Jennings of Ward 7 raised $405.
While Shelton will likely cover most of his campaign's expenses, he plans to hold fundraisers. He said how much money he has to spend will help determine whether voters will see his messages run on television commercials and in newspaper ads.
"It depends on fundraising support," he said. "But hopefully."

China's growth has slowed, just as its leaders promised. The question now is how much slower it will get–and if the world's second largest economy can avoid a recession.
The Wall Street Journal has the details on today's GDP data:
China's economic growth decelerated to 7.5% in the second quarter compared with a year earlier, down from 7.7% in the first quarter, the government's statistics bureau said on Monday. Most economists now expect growth for the year of around 7.5%, which would be the slowest since 1990.
On a quarter-on-quarter annualized basis—the way growth is reported in the U.S.—the economy accelerated slightly to 6.9% year-on-year, up from 6.6% in the first quarter, according to Wall Street Journal calculations based on official data. But that pace was below the government's 7.5% target for the year.
Credit Suisse economists Dong Tao and Weishen Deng explain why China isn't worried about the slowing pace of growth:
The government emphasised two points about this set of data. (1) The major economic indicators are within the expected ranges. (2) The moderation in growth is a result of pro-active structural adjustment. In other words, Beijing does not believe that the current growth momentum is threatening the bottom line of policy growth target, perceived around 7.0% YoY by China watchers. That seems to imply that Beijing is in no hurry to boost growth.
