The finish
Something I learned the hard way, is that a good finish requires freshly mixed epoxy, kind of like good concrete. If you let it get hot you have waited too long. As I recall I use to race through the project so I could get it done in one batch. The result was something I wasnt particularly proud of. Regardless of the size of the project I mix at least 10ml, either in a mixer or by hand with a bodkin in small plastic mixing cup. When the epoxy is mixed I pour it out on a sheet of aluminum foil, this seems to help dissipate some of the entrapped air bubbles. I then apply it to the wraps with a natural hair brush first with a vary thin coat. After the first coat has cured 24 (hours minimum) apply another coat. The best applications seem to be by using a lateral brushing motion to distribute the finish, then it levels it self. Sometimes a little light flaming is necessary to pop out an air bubble. When the epoxy starts to get a little thick abandon the batch and mix a new one. Epoxy is cheep, a good finish is priceless. I have seen some absolutely beautiful custom work, infinitely better than the production stuff of the shelf. The custom jobs that look the best were a labor of love that may have taken weeks to complete.

|A hair dryer is also a good tool to heat up the epxy once it has been applied.
heating the finish
It is much easier to heat the finish or warm the epoxy when you are mixing it with a small heat gun that is used to shrink the Monokote used to cover model airplanes. In fact most shops call it a Monokote heat gun. It will bring the bubbles right out. It also should accellerate the cure time.Your dad might have one. If not you can pick one up at the hobby shop in Redmond the next time your there.
Note of caution,,, when you are using it to warm the epoxy prior to use I warm the bottles before I put it in the mixing cups. I have blown to many of the mixing cups off my bench. Also heating the mixed epoxy will shorten pot life.

I have used both the Flexcoat and LS Supreme epoxies and found them to be ok although problematic at times (probably me). Recently I have used a newcomer to the epoxy market, its called Threadmaster (currently being used by R.B. Meiser, CF Burkheimer, and others). The stuff is excellent, good flow and bubble release.about 30-40 min pot life (work time) 2 hr setup. Don't know if I can mention the vendor(not a sponsor) but if you PM or email I can hook you up.
Be careful flaming the finish it's a finesse technique, easy to smoke the epoxy & thread. Warm the bottles in hot water as discussed. You can breathe on the wraps to pop any stubborn bubbles.
Good Wraps

|Remember you only get 20-30 minutes working time (often only 15) before the 2-part finish has set up too much to flow well. I never try to put it on more than 5 or 6 guides per batch.
Thanks -
I'm not so far out there as I thought then... That's been what I've experienced as well... I've heard people say they can do a whole rod in one mixture, but I haven't even come close to that... get some more glue and get on it!!
|Haven't really timed it but about enough time to do four or five wraps. It sets up in about two hours. That does not mean that you 'll have two hours to apply the epoxy. You'll know as the epoxy will not flow as well. FishHawk.
thanks all for your help - another question...
So what is a reasonable amount of time I could expect to have to apply a "batch" of finish on to thread wraps?? I'm using a dryer that's turning at 4 turns/minute, pretty slow. And it feels like i'm taking a lot of time at each wrap applying finish. Given that you do what you've described above, how much time do you have before it begins to set up to the point it's no longer managable? thanks for your help... gonna need to order more finish before I can continue....
I've had excellent results with a product called Trondack Dura Gloss LS Supreme. A single coat does the trick and it's thin. Like the others have stated the preparation is still important and many a rod has been built with flex coat. I'm no expert but a got many tips from one. Here's one that's pretty well known and I don't feel like he's going to track me down for sharing it.
Warm up the two parts of the mix - mix them by slowly stiring them in a cup first in one direction for 2 minutes then in the other for 2 minutes- I hold the small plastic cup over a light bulb while mixing. Try not to whip the mix, that would introduce more air bubbles. Once you are satisfied with the mix put it onto a double layer of tin foil - spread it out and put it over the light again to help get the air bubbles out. For some reason it seems to have a shorter cure time if left in the mixing cup. The heat will accelerate the cure so only use it for mixing and to pop the bubbles. I use the syringes to measure the 2 parts as they have a different consistency at the same temperature - it's important to get the mix correct.
Happy wrapping.
I think FishHawk hit the nail on the head with this one. Also, you will want to work in a warm, dry environment. If you are doing it out in your garage or some other cold place the stuff will set up quick even if you follow FishHawk's advise. You may also want to use a lighter to heat it up after you have applied it. Do not apply the flame directly to the finish, this will burn it and screw it up, but hold it close enough to slightly warm the finish. If you do this while the rod is turning on the drying rack it should help you get out any lumps as well as popping any bubbles in the finish.
|Very important , you must heat up the epoxy before you apply it. I use the hot water method. I have a small container full of hot water to put my two bottles of part A&B. Before I put the bottles in the container I hold them under hot water and get the bottles hot to the touch. It works like a charm. I use Flexcoat lite . This should help you out. FishHawk.
Help!!! Putting the Epoxy/finish on the rod wraps!!
Am into my second rod build... Am at the point of putting on the epoxy/finish on the wraps... Started w/ the standard flexcoat regular epoxy... worked ok, but was difficult to apply and get to flow smoothly... next, tried the Flexcoat-lite - the thinner version that requires 2 applications... that flowed better, but still, only needed one coat, and the flow wasn't as good as I desired. W/ my second rod, I tried the Lite again, and worked to keep temps in the 70's... well, the stuff set up really fast, and was barely able to get to half the rod before it set up... the frist 3 or for wrap sets turned out good, the last 3 i got to looked like s**t..
What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have recommendations, or are there otehr finishes/epoxies that are better or easier to work w/?? This second rod's a gift to my brother, and want to do it right...
Thanks for any help!!!

We did lots of overtaking but experienced a fair bit as well. Here people flash twice behind you just before overtaking and many big trucks take their chances freely.
On one way up one hill in the dark i could see in many parts where the crash barriers had bits missing where some unlucky cars had fallen down the hill. There was also a heavy amount of police checks everywhere
We arrive late but manage to get separate rooms each for 50Dh in an old hotel, possibly from the 60s and built to be a nice tourist resort but had since crumbled. There was no hot water and the receptionist tried to rip us off once again which he failed in doing so.
Next day its off early after some Moroccan breakfast (without olives but tomato instead) in the small town centre of Tan-Tan plage. Jay insisted on having some English tea and brought a PG tips tea bag. It turned out good since normally tea water is made from tap water. In remote place like this water is sometimes transported or makes a very long journey through old pipes and acquires a nasty, salty taste.
After breakfast we conduct an interesting human experiment. We take out a single TV and simply plonk it on the sidewalk. Suddenly locals come swarming from all over and flock around the car like zombies. Street selling begins!
I try to help Jay as much as i can but soon am overwhelmed by too many requests. I also try to get a quick shot of the whole frenzy with my camera but there are some aggressive protests so i have to put the camera away. All i can do is soak up whats going on while helping unload items, answer stupid questions and keeping an eye on the stuff. It gets real dramatic as they've all become like hectic animals in a feeding frenzy. This goes on for ages and although we take a short break while taking a walk to the beach and chill-out at a small cafe we are soon caught up by a small army of followers and soon the word spreads again like wildfire... stressful!
When we finally do manage to shake many off we have to make many false promises that we will be back in 30mins or so or else leaving is impossible. Probably have people clinging onto the cars crying for more..
Leave town at 6pm

But people say they were laughing as a way to cope with the tragedy.
oscillation between sadness and mirth repeated itself in study after study … Time and again, a grief-stricken person's expression would change from dejection to laughter and back
I quoted it above from Scientific American, and look I am providing a quote again (not too hard)
Be honest about what? That many people deal with tragedy by laughing? Are you a psychologist? Do you have a background that would allow you to dispute the Scientific American article?
That many people deal with tragedy by laughing? Are you a psychologist?
Do you have a background that would allow you to dispute the Scientific American article?
I found it odd that the parents weren't allowed to identify the bodies, except by photo. In spite of the coroner's reasoning, that would normally anger and increase the emotional pain for most parents who have just lost a child. They should have been given a choice.
Further in the context of a conspiracy, how does this advance the conspiracy?
Also at some point the parents got the bodies back as they buried them.
I know I would be mad at the world, not laughing and joking in front of cameras.
I guess I am am completely lost as to what argument you are making. I am understanding from your previous responses you find the laughing suspicious. IS that true, yes or no
t just doesn't help debunk any theories
I haven't heard any reports either way re: their confirmation/ID of the bodies. Have you heard anything re: this? I don't know.
I have a close friend who lost his son last year. that day he was laughing with us then crying then laughing again. everyone grieves differently why is that so hard for some of you to understand?
Your post before this one was contradicting.
Yes I think the laughing is suspicious
I haven't heard any reports either way re: their confirmation/ID of the bodies. Have you heard anything re: this? I don't know.
"(Veronique) felt that (Noah's) body had suffered too many indignities already; she was adamant that he not be autopsied. She wanted him to be buried with a Jewish prayer shawl and with a clear stone with a white angel inside — an 'angel stone' — in each of his hands. Veronique was only able to put the stone in his right hand because the left was 'not altogether there.' ... She asked the funeral director to put the other one in the left hand spot. 'I made him promise and he did.'
"Veronique told me that Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy visited her in the funeral home, and she brought him to see Noah's open casket. I asked her why it was important for her and for the governor to see Noah's body. 'I needed it to have a face for him,' she said. 'If there is ever a piece of legislation that comes across his desk, I needed it to be real for him.'"
Zeveloff pressed Veronique Pozner on why she felt the need to see her son's body. "It is not up to me to say I am only going to look at you and deal with you when you are alive, that I am going to block out the reality of what you look like when you are dead," she told Zeveloff. "And as a little boy, you have to go in the ground. If I am going to shut my eyes to that I am not his mother. I had to bear it. I had to do it."
Unprompted, Pozner continued: "We all saw how beautiful he was. He had thick, shiny hair, beautiful long eyelashes that rested on his cheeks. He looked like he was sleeping. But the reality of it was under the cloth he had covering his mouth. ... His jaw was blown away. I just want people to know the ugliness of it so we don't talk about it abstractly, like these little angels just went to heaven.
yes I have. one of the victims mother Veronique Pozer had a very candid interview recently where she describes what her son looked like after. Ill try and find the article for you. She talks about how he had something covering his jaw because his jaw had been blown off.
Why do you think the laughing is suspicious in light of the fact that I think we just agreed that laughing is a normal coping mechanism?
No, it doesn't prove anything.
223 has a pretty unpredictable wound pattern especially when it hits solid bone (jaw). Sometimes it goes through and through with pencil holes on each end, sometimes it explodes out the other side. Sometimes you cannot find the exit wound.
I have literally seen the wound described from 55gr .223 at about 15 feet. It is very possible.

Murphy big part of Royall's recent success
ELROY, Wis. - It's been a great four-year run for the Royall boys basketball program. In 2010 they made their first ever appearance in the State Tournament and have now won the past two Scenic Bluffs conference championships.
One constant during this stretch has been senior guard Sam Murphy. "The program definitely has turned. A lot of it has to do with Sam," says head coach Mark Gustafson.
Murphy will graduate as the program's all-time leading scorer. Coach Gustafson is quick to point out that scoring is not even Murphy's best attribute. "He is unselfish. Passes the ball, sometimes a little too much for my liking. And an absolute great kid. A role model. I think he's going to be successful at the next level."18539524
The next level for Murphy will be at NCAA III Lakeland College. As his time in high school winds down, Murphy has just one goal left.
"Definitely to make it to State."
Royall earned the number-one seed in their regional and open up the WIAA playoffs hosting Weston on Tuesday.

These wraps make for an informal and delightfully messy summer supper. Complete the meal with a rice salad from the deli (adding diced bell peppers and a splash of rice vinegar, if desired) and ice cream sprinkled with minced crystallized ginger.
Leave a Review
I really liked this recipe a lot but I think it would be much tastier with ground pork. I made my own spicy peanut sauce and used Sesame oil instead of peanut oil.
This is a decent weeknight meal. I'll definitely jazz it up more next time I make it, with carrots, bell pepper and a spicier peanut sauce than I made this time. It was definitely good though. I cooked 1lb of turkey and my husband and I ate it all.
Would definitely make this again. As other reviewers have noted, I substituted peanut butter for the sauce, basil for the mint, and added water chestnuts, red bell pepper, carrots and celery. I also used sesame oil and added garlic. When I do make again, I will increase the spice level.
great recipe for a quick dinner. I have used ground chicken and added diced carrot and celery. Used green leaf lettuce because butter lettuce was $5 a head.
This is a great recipe! I used some chives, basil and a little mint instead of all the mint it asks for because I was afraid it would be too minty. Used only a tbsp of natural peanut butter and a big clove of garlic instead of the whole 1/2 cup of peanut sauce and it worked out great. Really delicious and addicting!
Wonderful. I cant stop eating this! I add water chestnuts, garlic, ginger, siratcha and cilantro, which seems like a lot, but it really adds layers of depth, and is so easy to do. I soak the cucumber in ricer wine vineager and put it on top. lLso great with some carrots. The recipe is good as is, but even better with these additions
I think this is one of my favorite lettuce wrap recipes...and I've tried quite a few. Messy but incredibly tasty, and I love the mint and cucumber together.
I've made this recipe several times. First time through I made it as written. I've since customized it by adding grated carrot, fresh ginger, fish sauce among other things. This is a keeper.
I love this recipe. I add a little chili oil or paste and sesame oil. I top it with bean sprouts,sliced red peppers and cucumbers. I serve it over noodles! A hit every time!!!
Easy, fast and satisfying - especially for a low carb diet.

"We have been coming to the Grand Prairie Market ever since it opened. We never miss a Saturday unless we have to go on a trip. We would not want it to change. We love that we know where the fruit, veggies and honey come from. Also it's great to know that the bakery goods are made with healthy ingredients. Because the vendors are from our local area, we know we can trust them when they tell us they aren't putting toxic products on what we are eating. This is very important to us. That is why we keep coming back. If this toxic free product wasn't available then I would just buy at the grocery store... We also love the friendships we have developed with all the vendors. Because they are our neighbors even if they are 75 miles away. We love our Farmers Market and enjoy the special events throughout the year!

text: Took off on Saturday around 4:30 from Falmouth for an overnighter at Vetch Canyon (about 120 miles) looking for the white marlin bite. Three of us with an expected arrival around 11PM on a relatively slower boat (12 to 15 knots on a Peirson 30 footer, great boat with ample space). Geared up and we were rounding Cape Poge and on our way. Conditions started to get thorny since we were in 4 to 6 foot rollers all the way. By 9:30PM , and after a strong maduro cigar, I was wondering if I should have played golf. By 10:30 I was heaving ( I was asked before we left if I need any motion pills, and I said, "no way"). Chummed the water with a roast beef sub and felt better only to stagger down into the cabin to sleep. Camped out in the middle of the canyon and had a good nights sleep. We drifted about 3 miles during the sleep over. Anyway, one other guy got close to the ralphs but made it and we all rallied with rods in by 4AM. Two outriggers, two down riggers and a center long pole. Almost immediatly, we we into yellowfin tuna and I was able to boat a 120 pounder give or take with the help of a gaff. One other boat out there was into some big Dorado and we seemed to be only into yellow fin. After ther rods were cleared and put back we had an almost simultanious 5 rod kick downs and had to land three before two of us picked up the other two and ended up with all 5 landed, fortunatly less than 100 pounds. Two of us started trolling 14wt. fly rods short of the riggers and hooked up with some puppies 30 to 40 pounds each with some the size of big Albies, great on the fly rods. Then one of the guys askes his brother, the skipper ,to cruise by the high flyers, where the other guys were into Mahi, and wanted to cast into the high flyers and bouys. I said he was nuts blind casting out here. As soon as his fly hits the water, small mahi about 30 inchs hit the fly. That's another argument for structure .I jumped to grab my rod with pie on my face, and we start hooking only after I change flies from the thick tuna unqua to a sharp Gami. Lost several and we had to stop to start back. We bagged the marlin bit which was expected between 10 and 2 for the 6 hours back. Days toll, 12 yellow fin , 5 mahi... with three tuna and one mahi on ice...the rest released. Don't let anyone tell you you can't troll flies for tuna inside the big gear.

New Solar Homes Partnership - Docket # 06-NSHP-1
David Hochschild, Renewables Lead Commissioner
The California Energy Commission has developed the New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP) as part of a comprehensive statewide solar program known as the California Solar Initiative (CSI) with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Development work on the CSI began in 2005 and is moving forward pursuant to Senate Bill 1 (Statutes of 2006, ch. 132), which the Governor signed on August 21, 2006. The goal of the CSI is to install 3,000 megawatts (MW) of distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation in California by the end of 2016. The Energy Commission and the CPUC will each administer separate, but coordinated elements of the CSI. In addition, SB 1 requires local publicly owned electric utilities to administer their own solar energy programs.
The New Solar Homes Partnership implements the Energy Commissions portion of the CSI and will provide financial incentives to encourage the installation of eligible solar energy systems on new residential construction. The New Solar Homes Partnership will focus on new residential buildings to capitalize on the Energy Commissions understanding of production and custom home construction, and seeks to achieve 360 MW of installed PV electricity generation by 2016. In addition, special attention will be provided to address affordable housing issues. Incentives for existing residential and nonresidential buildings and for new nonresidential construction will be provided under the CPUC's program.
The primary goal of the New Solar Homes Partnership is to help create a self sustaining market for energy efficient, new solar homes.

By The Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Lowndes County authorities are considering a law that would require nightclubs to close at 1 a.m.
Sheriff Mike Arledge is pushing for the ordinance. He blames various problems on clubs that remain open late, like noise complaints and violence.
Arledge says that when Columbus clubs close, some patrons travel to county clubs after they've already consumed alcohol.
The Lowndes County Board of Supervisors Monday unanimously authorized county attorney Tim Hudson to draft an ordinance.
Hudson says he will draft a proposed ordinance this week and send a copy to supervisors for their input and the matter will likely be revisited at the board's April 15 meeting.
The next step would be to provide notice for a public hearing to be held in a future meeting.

It seems obvious, actuarily, that if one does not allow exclusion for pre-existing conditions & eliminates annual and lifetime limits, there is simply no way to pay for this without requiring EVERYone to purchase insurance.
Now, all states (as far as I know) require car insurance. Yet, doggone it, people still get in a car and drive without it. Do I really expect that anyone will do "hard time" because they failed to get health insurance? How many jails will we have to build if they did that? And while in jail, they don't have to worry about the cost of health care
BTW, you need a letter when you sign up for Medicare Supplemental Insurance that says you were previously insured. Not sure what happens if you were not.The cool part about this is that you get taxed if you don't have coverage ... but you also get taxed if your coverage is "too good" The govt has decided what you "need", and you shouldn't be too piggy. I'm not clear if this is also true of a self-employed individual. If so, the govt is then deciding that health care insurance is equivalent to paying a luxury tax on a yacht.That the Fed Gov can supposedly mandate that I buy insurance and what coverage I have to have in that purchase does not sit well with me or many others,
Notice, too, how the bill has invaded other things ... like me having to give Staples a 1099 form if I spend more than $600 there in one year!

I don't use the PM feature, so just email me direct at the address shown above.
in my opinion, what they are trying to do is irresponsible. i liken it to being the provider of income for your family and quitting your job without having another one lined up.
if they feel that what we have is so horrible that it needs to be repealed, they should first develop an alternative plan, debate it in both the house and senate, get agreement on the new plan, and table it.
THEN, repeal the old plan, vote in the new one and proceed.-Paul

It is not government run, no. It is a bill, not a system or government agency so it cannot be government run in any way. You still buy insurance from private agencies only. The bill outlines rules and regulations for the insurance agencies to follow though, to protect the American people. And it provides a subsidy for people to pay their premiums. What people do not like about the bill is something that the insurance companies forced the President to put into it so they would agree to the provisions that he wanted, which is that in order for everyone to be covered and receive these provisions and subsidies to pay for premiums that help us, everyone has to buy coverage. If they do not want coverage, there is a fee that must be paid to cover the cost. Because if everyone opted out, we would not be able to have the good parts of the bill at all. So people want to opt out and not pay for coverage until they get sick, and then sign up, which drives health care cost up for everyone. There are negatives in the bill, but all in all it is a good thing.
See RK, it is not government run. No wonder the insurance companies are not squaking.

Southwestern Takes Top Honors at Delta Theta Phi Convention
Southwestern's Hon. Marshall Francis McComb Delta Theta Phi Senate made quite a splash at the international legal fraternity's 58th Biennial Convention and Leadership Conference, which was held during the first week in August in Bloomington, Minnesota. The small but mighty two-student delegation earned three of four major honors presented.
Fourth-year evening student John Huh won the William H. Thomas Award for Oral Advocacy, triumphing over competitors from 26 participating schools. His five-minute report about Southwestern's Delta Theta Phi Senate and its commitment to fulfilling core values of the fraternity in terms of activities to promote diversity and engage in public service impressed the judges. "I spoke about how our members have won academic awards and how the law school has been recognized for its diversity efforts," Huh said. "I also talked about how our members have been involved with diverse ethnic student organizations and have devoted numerous hours to public interest activities."
Huh was even more excited to win the Robert J. Cole, Jr. Scholarship, awarded to the student delegate that exhibits those professional qualities demanded by the fraternity. "This was not something I applied for," he explained. "Apparently, from the moment we arrived at the convention, judges observed how we presented ourselves in terms of our dress, speech, conduct and general professionalism."
Steven Lundberg, also in the fourth-year evening program at Southwestern, won the Biennial WestGroup Award for his achievements as a law student. This is the fraternity's most prestigious prize for academic achievement, based on class rank, GPA, special coursework taken and other activities. As the winner of this award, Lundberg will receive the 31-volume set of the newest edition of Willston on Contracts, which is valued at more than $2,000.
Larry Meyer, immediate past Chancellor of Delta Theta Phi, had encouraged Southwestern's chapter to participate in the convention. He was very impressed with their showing. "John and Steve did an excellent job of representing themselves and the school, and of impressing the attendees that were there," he said. "I think the great showing they had was obvious by the awards they won."
Huh, who now serves as Dean of Southwestern's Hon. Marshall Francis McComb Delta Theta Phi Senate, said, "Justice McComb and Mrs. McComb were very generous to our school over the years, and I'm really pleased that we can carry on this legacy. Going to the convention really made me understand the reach of Delta Theta Phi and the prominence of its alums."

WSJ: How a Giant Kazakh Oil Project Went Awry
"To replace what they pump, oil companies need to collaborate with state-owned companies that control 90% of the globe's remaining oil reserves, by a World Bank estimate. But governments often give foreign oil companies access only to the hardest-to-develop acreage. Kashagan's large-scale stumble shows how collaborations in these difficult fields can go sour for both sides."

csed/cgrep was coming along quite well, until the last stages where it was taking far too much effort to convert the earlier stages of lexical parsings into more complicated structures like tables of variable types. There were problems with how to accomodate incremental changes in the source code being analysed and how to work out which caches should be updated, which buffers needed to be flushed, etc.
I hammered away at this for weeks, trying to come up with an insight into the problem that would simplify the accelerating tide of exceptions that were going into the parser with the addition of every new syntax element. Was there some elegant recursive algorithm I could use? Was it better to visualise cache elements as a list of states, a tree of states, or a nested structure of states? For every algorithm I could think of that satisfied the most common case, the remaining list of exceptions still accelerated exponentially with every new facility I added.
I just couldn't figure out how to add all the features I wanted, without reaching impossible levels of complicated code! I downloaded as many parsers as I could, and examined them. It appeared that it was a problem that hadn't been solved as they were all huge, complicated, and hairy as well. There were some very nice small ones (eg, Lua), but I really want my parser to comprehend full ANSI C with GNU extensions.
I was starting to think that perhaps I had bitten off more than I could chew, even though the goal is pretty simple - embed sed and grep inside a parser, with the ability to handle on the fly code changes. How could something so simple sounding be such a problem?
Since I wasn't getting anywhere with my attempts to save the code, I decided to throw it all away and start again. Without the blinkers imposed by the objective of "avoid rewriting! save the code!", I had this incredible few hours where I suddenly realised exactly what I was doing wrong and where I went wrong.
In my quest to keep things simple, I had over-simplified the core of my design to the point where it wasn't sufficient for the task. The rest of the program was difficult to write because it was trying to make up for a core deficit in the design.
By making the core design more complicated, the rest of the program was simplified so dramatically that the final amount of code I expect to write has been halved.
The learning process sucks when I just want to accomplish a task!
On another topic... thanks to darkewolf for certifying me! It's always nice to receive positive feedback. :)

A new study released by the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) claims that recall of much-hyped Super Bowl TV ads is lower than one would expect, and that radio advertising is more effective. The RAB says, "Despite unprecedented hype around television ads that ran during this year's Big Game, many viewers said they didn't watch them -- and even when they did, consumer recall of brands advertising during the game was uniformly low."
The RAB adds that "Although the game brings out the advertising industry's best commercials, the results of the study show the limitations of television ads in selling products and highlight the fact that sight, sound and motion can distract from advertisers' basic messages -- in contrast to radio, where the audio message is more direct and personal and is not obscured by video or picture."
For half the ads tested, recall of the actual types of products advertised was below 10 percent among Super Bowl viewers. Also, when asked to name the brand itself being advertised without help, "most viewers could not link the brand to the ad." The ads also had little impact on viewers' perceptions of those brands. According to the RAB's data, only 15 percent of game viewers said they later looked for the ads or related content online; only nine percent posted, tweeted, or shared links about the ads; and as few as seven percent claimed that they actually looked for more information online about the advertised products or brands.
Companies paid an average of $4 million for a 30-second spot during this year's Super Bowl and the RAB notes that "radio works hard to register a marketer's message at a fraction of the cost."
The survey consisted of online interviews conducted three days after the Super Bowl, on February 6, with 750 respondents aged 18-54 who said they had watched the game and saw any of the 10 ads in question.

I see no one is really interested in touching this issue because it tends to get complicated once it becomes a problem. Again though, it really comes back to operant conditioning, everything does in the end.
I have a pretty noisy pup so here are some of the steps I've taken along the way to try and make sure I don't have a problem later. These are just stupid common sense things that I think apply to pretty much any dog.
1. She was very noisy in the crate initially. I was very careful never, to ever let her out while she was making noise. I would literally put her int he crate and leave the house, sit outside and read a book until she went quiet, then go let her out. If she got noisy when she saw me I walked away and came back again after she got quiet. Message... Be quiet and I will come let you out.
2. Early on I taught her to sit and focus on her food bowl for a period before being released to eat. Initially this included some whining. I always, every single time waited until she was quiet for at last 3 seconds before releasing her. I extended this over time.
3. She learned in collar conditioning to anticipate the pressure and became vocal. The very first time I heard this I addressed it by mixing up my routine and giving more freebies. She has done it a couple of times in FF and beginning pile work and every time, I simplified, varied my routine and laid off the pressure.
More or less every time I see have seen the behavior since she was 7 weeks old I have employed extinction as a strategy to reduce the noisy behavior and positive re-enforcement to encourage quiet behavior. I've had to employ the strategy multiple times in multiple situations but it has worked each and every time with a bit of patience and thought.
Will it work as excitement levels rise in training? I don't really know but I have tried all along the way to address what I recognized as a potential issue from the moment I got this puppy. She seems incredibly talented otherwise so I would never have walked away from her.

Location Natural: Steamboat joins growing group of cities looking to grow their stake in the outdoor manufacturing industry
Deep inside the convention center for the Outdoor Retailer's winter trade show in Salt Lake City this year, a new, high-stakes spectacle took place. And most spectators never saw it. Economic developers from Steamboat Springs and a small contingent of other outdoor-oriented cities across the nation methodically waded through the booths not looking to buy skis, socks, goo or jackets. They were looking to someday bring entire companies, and their high-paying jobs, back home.

Basic Energy Sciences (BES)

High-energy x-ray diffraction pattern from a single grain of a gadolinium – cadmium alloy (shown in center) displaying the novel five-fold rotational symmetry, characteristic of an icosahedral quasicrystal. Diffraction images were obtained by using the recently developed high-energy x-ray precession camera on a high brilliance superconducting undulator X-ray beam line at the Advanced Photon Source (Cover Image from Goldman et al., Nature Materials, 12, 714-718, 2013).
A new class of binary alloys made from rare earth elements and cadmium has been discovered that manifests the unique 5-fold symmetry and structural characteristics of quasicrystals and has magnetic properties, providing the first step toward answering a much debated question as to whether or not it is possible to achieve long-range magnetic order in a quasicrystalline material.
This discovery will enable detailed studies of the effect of aperiodicity on magnetism in quasicrystals in particular, and complex systems in general, allowing comparison to the properties of related crystalline materials whose atomic compositions are close to that of the quasicrystals.
Quasicrystals are fascinating solids whose atomic arrangements are not periodic, but have long range positional order and 5-fold, 8-fold and higher rotational symmetries that are forbidden in conventional crystals. Three decades after their discovery in 1984, with over a hundred alloys synthesized, and one naturally occurring alloy identified, quasicrystals are now considered a new class of stable materials. Their original discovery led to the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Quasicrystals exhibit some novel mechanical properties, such as low surface friction, that are different from their related crystalline and glassy alloys whose atomic compositions are in the vicinity of their composition. Hence, the search for quasicrystals with new physical properties continues. Scientists at the Ames Laboratory have discovered a new family of binary, rare-earth containing, quasicrystals in the R-cadmium binary alloy where R = gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium and yttrium, six of which (except for yttrium) have localized magnetic moments. For this family of magnetic quasicrystals, there exist crystalline compounds, known as crystal approximants, with atomic compositions and arrangements pretty close to them. Comparison between the quasicrystals and related crystal approximants will enable scientists to unravel the relationship between the structure, dynamics and magnetism in these materials that can pave way for new designer materials for future technologies.

Focus on Long Key Natural Area & Nature CenterWater of LifeBuggin'Find the Stars – And Not Just on the Red CarpetListen To LearnWalks on the Wild SideAdvisory Board/Public Participation Forum NoticeYouTubeNature To GoYour Opinion Counts!Nature Centers of the Broward County Parks and Recreation DivisionSpecial AttractionsMission StatementBroward County Board of County Commissioners
At 157 acres, Long Key Natural Area & Nature Center, in the Town of Davie, is one of the largest natural areas managed by the Parks and Recreation Division. The site is well known as the former location for the Kapok Tree restaurant and the Pioneer City theme park. The nature center, which opened on March 14, 2008, was built using funds from the 2000 Safe Parks and Land Preservation Bond Referendum.
As recently as a century ago this elevated oak hammock was part of a series of islands surrounded by Everglades marshes. Long Key encompasses some of the most significant archaeological, historical, and ecological resources in the County, as the area was inhabited by the ancient Tequestas and the more modern Seminoles.
Long Key's magnificent live oak hammock has served as an important habitat for wildlife and is one of the largest remaining stands of upland hardwood forest in Broward. Typical trees found in the hardwood forest include live oak, red bay, paradise tree, strangler fig, and the occasional cabbage palm and gumbo limbo. Among the diverse plants you can see are many species of epiphytic bromeliads and ferns that abundantly line the limbs of the oaks.
Additional features include a 14-acre orange grove, a remnant of a once-active citrus industry; restored wetland marshes, which have become a haven for a variety of migratory and resident birds; several man-made ponds and canals; and an active bird roost/rookery. The site is also a refuge for butterflies and a variety of mammals, including foxes and bobcats. The property's Baez House, currently not open to the public, is a restored 1940s farmhouse that received a 2007 award from the Broward County Historical Commission, which recommended that the house be designated an Archaeological and Historical Cultural Resource Site.
The centerpiece of the park is the 18,050-square-foot nature center building, which includes an assembly hall (the Oak Hammock Hall), an exhibit hall, a classroom (the Discovery Room), a small theater, offices, a catering kitchen, and restrooms. A bridge spanning an educational pond connects the nature center to nature trails totaling about three-quarters of a mile, and an equestrian trail runs through the site and connects with the Davie Multipurpose Trail that runs along the perimeter.
The nature center's grounds include a major Public Art and Design installation by artist Lorna Jordan called Island Garden. One of the artist's concerns is the idea of the garden as a framework for enhancing habitat, and in that context this work heightens the visitor's experience of the nature center's topography. Pathway mosaics make reference to the sedimentary layers that have created the aquifer's layers of limestone, sand, and sandstone; pools and planters reveal the interaction between water and plants; and benches and a trellis system provide a contemplative place to experience shade and the coolness of water.
For more information, call Long Key at 954-357-8797.
Water is an integral component of the quality of life to both residents and visitors alike in Broward County. This month two major events in parks attest to the importance water holds in our lives, in terms of both recreation and daily life.
The county's largest environmental event, the 35th Annual Waterway Cleanup, returns to Broward from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 10. The event is organized by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF) in cooperation with civil, public, and private partners to promote environmental awareness and responsibility. This year nearly two dozen sites will participate, including the Anne Kolb Nature Center in Hollywood, Franklin Park and Reverend Samuel Delevoe Park in Fort Lauderdale, and Secret Woods Nature Center in Dania Beach.
Last year the event attracted 1,180 volunteers to work at waterfront locations and on floating sites on the Intracoastal Waterway. Approximately 18.6 tons of trash and debris was collected from the county's roughly 300 miles of navigable waterways, canals, and shorelines.
Participants should wear clothes that they don't mind getting dirty, as well as gloves and shoes. Sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and drinking water are also recommended. For more information, call MIASF at 954-524-2733, visit www.waterwaycleanup.com, or e-mail email@example.com. Anne Kolb is accessible via Broward County Transit Route #12; Franklin via Routes #11, #36, and #40; Delevoe via Routes #11 and #40; and Secret Woods via Route #6.
The second event that will focus on water quality and conservation is Water Matters Day, also scheduled for Saturday, March 10, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Tree Tops Park in Davie. Now in its 10th year – the theme is "A Decade of Difference" – the county's signature water event educates residents on what they can do to protect our drinking-water supplies. Among the relevant topics covered will be water conservation techniques, smart irrigation, and native landscaping.
This family-oriented event features live music (environmental folk singer Grant Livingtston), approximately 40 educational booths and exhibits, giveaways (including native plants), hands-on activities, children's workshops, and more. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. The Broward County Board of County Commissioners, Broward Workshop, the School Board of Broward County, and the South Florida Water Management District partner for the event.
Admission to Water Matters Day is free, although Tree Tops' regular weekend and holiday gate entrance fee of $1.50/person (children 5 and under free) will be in effect. For more information, visit www.broward.org/watermatters.
Parks and Recreation offers three opportunities to find out more about the insect world this month. From 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 24, Secret Woods Nature Center in Dania Beach will conduct Insectigations, a look at our six-legged friends (and sometimes enemies) presented by the University of Florida's Paul Bardunias, who will bring in some of his favorite creatures for participants to observe. The program is free and for all ages.
The next day, Sunday, March 25, from noon to 12:30 p.m., also at Secret Woods, Delightful Flight will introduce you to some of South Florida's butterflies and share information on what to plant to attract them. The fee is $1.50 per person.
That still leaves you time to get over to Long Key Natural Area & Nature Center on Sunday, March 25, for a 2 p.m. presentation called Bugged Beyond Belief, featuring entomologist, photographer, and composer John Lampkin. He'll use his new book of insect macrophotography as a starting point for an educational, visually artistic, and entertaining look at the bugs in our back yards. Lampkin has been the compiler for the North American Butterfly Association's counts in Rockland County, New York, for the past decade, and coincidentally, he has written a woodwind quartet, Insects: A Musical Entomology in Six Legs, that won the grand prize at the 2001 Composers Guild international competition. The program is free.
For more information, call Secret Woods at 954-357-8884 or Long Key at 954-357-8797. Secret Woods is accessible via Broward County Transit Route #6.
Hollywood may turn out every year for the Academy Awards, but another kind of star – the heavenly kind – inhabits the South Florida sky every night. And every quarter the South Florida Amateur Astronomers Association (SFAAA) gets together at Fern Forest Nature Center in Coconut Creek to discuss all things astronomical.
The free program is called An Evening With the Stars, and the latest installment starts at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 9. Speakers will cover basic telescope techniques and general astronomy information. For more information, call Fern Forest at 954-357-5198. The nature center is accessible via Broward County TransitRoutes #31 and #42.
The SFAAA also opens the Fox Observatory at Markham Park in Sunrise every Saturday evening, weather permitting, from dusk to midnight. For more information on the SFAAA, call 954-384-0442 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Lunch-and-Learn Nature Series lecture program that has been so popular at the Anne Kolb Nature Center in Hollywood concludes this month with a presentation from noon to 2 p.m. on Friday, March 9. The topic is "Ensuring the Survival of Florida's Coral Reefs: Historical Perspectives and Forecasting the Future," and the guest lecturer is Abby Reneger, a marine biologist with the National Coral Reef Institute.
Preregistration is required a week prior to the event. A $5 donation to the Friends of the Anne Kolb Nature Center volunteer group gets you in and gets you lunch. For more information, call Anne Kolb at 954-357-5161. The nature center is accessible via Broward County Transit Route #12.
Also drawing to a close this month: the Propagation Lecture series at Secret Woods Nature Center in Dania Beach. The final installment focuses on "Grafting" and features a lecture and hands-on instruction in various techniques. The program is for ages 12 and up and runs $5/person. For more information, call Secret Woods at 954-357-8884. The nature center is accessible via Broward County Transit Route #6.
Hikes and nature walks are the most basic way to enjoy our parks and nature centers. This month offers a variety of such opportunities.
Get the month going with a Mangrove Adventure Hike, from 2 to 3 p.m. on Thursday, March 1, at the Anne Kolb Nature Center in Hollywood. Participants will learn about the park's highly varied mangrove ecosystem as they hike one of the trails and encounter wildlife along the way. The program is for all ages and costs $3 per person.
On Saturday, March 10, beginning and advanced birders alike will get a chance to see the avian life at Deerfield Island Park in Deerfield Beach when the park hosts a volunteer-led Bird Walk. It's from 8:30 to 10 a.m. and costs $3 per person. Space is limited and preregistration is required.
Explore the sloughs and back country of Secret Woods Nature Center in Dania Beach by going Off the Beaten Path, from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 11. Closed-toe shoes, drinking water, a walking stick, and the willingness to get wet are prerequisites for this rigorous hike, which costs $6 per person and is designed for ages 6 and up.
Back at Anne Kolb that same day, a Trail Stroll, from 1 to 1:45 p.m., introduces visitors to the mangrove wetland by taking them on a guided boardwalk tour. The program is free and for all ages.
For more information, call Anne Kolb at 954-357-5161, Secret Woods at 954-357-8884, or, for Deerfield Island, Quiet Waters at 954-357-5100. Anne Kolb is accessible via Broward County Transit Route #12; Deerfield Island via Routes #48 and #50; and Secret Woods via Route #6.
Once a year the Broward County Parks and Recreation Division invites the public to provide suggestions, voice concerns, and ask questions about recreation needs in the county park system. In order to encourage attendance at this meeting, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board reschedules its meeting to 6 p.m. instead of the customary 7:30 a.m. meeting time. Accordingly, the next Public Participation Forum will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 1 at Plantation Heritage Park (1100 S. Fig Tree Lane, Plantation 33317; 954-357-5135), immediately after the 6 p.m. advisory board meeting. Plantation Heritage is accessible via Broward County Transit Route #30.
Broward County Parks now has its own YouTube Channel at www.YouTube.com/BrowardCountyParks. If you've never gone kayaking at West Lake Park in Hollywood, you'll get a glimpse of this urban oasis. Other park experiences you can watch include mountain bike riding at Markham Park in Sunrise, cable water-skiing at Ski Rixen USA in Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach, and even Eli the Dog's outing to Barkham dog park at Markham Park!
You can now take a little bit of Broward County nature home with you – thanks to a series of nature posters produced and sold by Broward County Parks. The six posters, all photographed in the county's parks, nature centers, and natural areas, feature American white waterlilies, burrowing owls, a gray fox, live oak trees, a prairie iris, and a queen butterfly. The posters look great either framed or unframed, and they're a distinctive way to bring a taste of nature into your home or office. They also make excellent gifts.
The offices at seven facilities have the posters available for purchase: the Anne Kolb Nature Center at West Lake Park in Hollywood, Fern Forest Nature Center in Coconut Creek, Long Key Natural Area & Nature Center in Davie, Markham Park in Sunrise, Plantation Heritage Park in Plantation, Tree Tops Park in Davie, and T.Y. Park in Hollywood.
The high-quality posters, which measure 18 inches by 24 inches, retail for $10, including Florida sales tax. You can also purchase posters by mail from Broward County Parks and Recreation, 950 N.W. 38th St., Oakland Park, FL 33309. Mail-order posters are $15 (includes Florida sales tax, shipping, and handling), with checks/money orders payable to Broward County Parks and Recreation.

Ever since lava first erupted above sea level over 500,000 years ago to begin building the Island of Hawai`i, countless eruptions from its five volcanoes have built the "Big Island" to a towering height of more than 4,000 m (13,000 ft). Its two most active volcanoes -- Mauna Loa and Kilauea -- erupt lava frequently enough to pose a serious hazard to property on many parts of the island. About 40 percent of Mauna Loa has been covered by lava in the past 1,000 years and over 90 percent of Kilauea's surface is covered by lava less than 1,100 years old. As land development expands toward areas of relatively high hazard, the threat to life and property on Hawai`i will increase accordingly.

text: At this past weekends Chiller Theatre convention in New Jersey, Fangoria Magazine got the scoop on the DAWN OF THE DEAD special edition coming from Anchor Bay Entertainment. The company has completed a new transfer of George Romeros zombie classic, which Fango got a peek at and looks absolutely stunning; itll come out as a single-disc release in early 2004. Then, sometime in the spring, Anchor Bay will unleash a boxed set that looks to be a high-water mark for DVD horror releases. The set, which will contain at least three and possibly up to five discs, will showcase both the theatrical version and the longer uncut edition of DAWN, with discussions under way to include the European ZOMBI cut as well. An audio commentary by producer Richard Rubinstein has already been completed, and plans are to record a new track with Romero and Tom Savini as well. There will also be a huge still gallery and lots of other features yet to be announced.

Submission + - The 'Monsanto Protection Act' Sneaks into Law
Connor Adams Sheets reports that President Barack Obama just signed a spending bill, HR 933, that includes language that has food and consumer advocates and organic farmers up in arms over their contention that the so-called "Monsanto Protection Act" is a giveaway to corporations that was passed under the cover of darkness. The "Monsanto Protection Act" effectively bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of controversial genetically modified (aka GMO) or genetically engineered (GE) seeds, no matter what health issues may arise concerning GMOs in the future. Many anti-GMO folks argue there have not been enough studies into the potential health risks of this new class of crop. Well, now it appears that even if those studies are completed and they end up revealing severe adverse health effects related to the consumption of genetically modified foods, the courts will have no ability to stop the spread of the seeds and the crops they bear. Many members of Congress were apparently unaware that the "Monsanto Protection Act" even existed within the bill they were voting on. "In this hidden backroom deal, Sen. [Barbara] Mikulski turned her back on consumer, environmental and farmer protection in favor of corporate welfare for biotech companies such as Monsanto," says Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of the Center for Food Safety. The bill sets a terrible precedent suggesting that court challenges are a privilege, not a right says attorney Bill Marler who has represented victims of foodborne illness in successful lawsuits against corporations. "I think any time you tweak with the ability of the public to seek redress from the courts, you create a huge risk."
