|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Spring Break is my annual trip with my kid. Last week of March for the past 5 years. Twice at Breck, once at Heavenly, once at Big Sky, last year at Snowmass(and Vail for a day). Snowmass again in 3 weeks(screw Vail). I've never been disappointed. If you've got wheels, you can follow the snow. More often than not, we got a good dump a couple/few times each stay. I've yet to make it to Wolf Creek. Usually gets the most in Colorado each season according to onethesnow.com. No resort so you need wheels. You can stay 20 miles east or west of it.

I didn't tell him to predict the weather a month out, simple meant while he is here he can check noaa and see if he might not be better off waiting an extra day to catch some powder. ( Lemme guess, your a ski-stone rent a pig that felt the need to chime in?) hmm spend $100 on a ticket to ride ice pack or wait 1 more day, pay same $100 and ride powder the next day, profit ?
|^ Ignore this guy he's everything thats wrong with CO. No one can predict the snow that far out we might have snow we might not. Roll the dice and see.
|March tends to be our snowiest month here in Colorado but not always (it could have been February this year) As far as resorts go though, we finally have a decent base at most resorts 40-60 inches or so. If your a groomer type of person you probably won't notice the lack of snow too much since most the runs have been covered with man made or natural snow by now, but if you plan on doing any trees or side country then I suggest bringing your rock board or doing your best to find powder stashes. Keystones trees on the front mountain blows this year, but north peak and outback have some decent spots. Not that I condone it but I have found some incredible powder spots under the ropes at A-basin, I'm talking waist deep stuff in spots, and untouched 10 foot drops into a pillow of powder. Keep in mind though its illegal in summit county to duck ropes and could cost you a $1000 fine or your life without the proper gear (I've only gotten caught once and it was a $175 fine , I do carry a beacon and probe with me though) A-basin usually gives you a warning but watch out at ski-stone, there straight up dicks when it comes to that. (Keystone is where I got the fine at, but thats not what pisses me off, I totally deserved it, but they originally said there where just going to suspend my pass for 2 weeks, but when I got down the mountain, they apparently changed there minds and gave me a fine, and took my pass for a month and had a cop there threating me to take my gear away and give me a ticket for marijuana possesion even though I have my red card lawl... The other officer quickly pointed out I'm allowed to carry my bud anywhere with my as long as I don't use it in public view Long story(rant)-short, even with the snowfall this season there is still plenty of fun to be had and probably twice as much terrain open as most east coast resorts. If you plan right and watch noaa weather you might even be able to get a pow day in
Spring Break
I've been looking into going to Colorado for spring break this season> I was hoping to get information on how the snow situation will look out there in mid to late March. I've never been out west and I just don't want to wait another season to go. I know there has been less than average precipitation this year so will there be good riding in the Denver area at this time. I would appreciate any feedback y'all can give me so that I can buy plane tickets from Maryland in advance to save money.

"Hannity & Colmes exclusive" to feature "Swift Boat veterans' react[ion]" to Kerry comments
Research ››› ››› ANDREW IRONSIDE & TERRY KREPEL
During the 8 a.m. ET hour of the November 2 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, a commercial ran for "a Hannity & Colmes exclusive," during which "the Swift Boat veterans react, sounding off about" Sen. John Kerry's (D-MA) recent remarks on Iraq. The segment, which will presumably feature the smear-mongering Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (now Swift Vets and POWs for Truth), will air, according to Fox News, on the November 2 edition of Hannity & Colmes.
But Swift Boat Veterans leader John O'Neill appeared on the November 1 broadcast of Mark Levin's radio show, undermining Fox News' claim to an "exclusive." On Levin's show, O'Neill called Kerry "a serial offender and slanderer of the military," a "buzzard," a "creature," a "dummy," and a "locust" who "eats people's honor."
From the November 2 Fox News teaser:
ANNOUNCER: It's a Hannity & Colmes exclusive. The Kerry controversy set off a political firestorm. Now, the Swift Boat Veterans react, sounding off about the senator's statements. Tonight, only one show has the exclusive -- only Hannity & Colmes. Don't miss it.
From the November 1 broadcast of ABC Radio Networks' The Mark Levin Show:
O'NEILL: There's no question. He's [unintelligible] to win an election than a war. He's a serial offender and slanderer of the military. He's been doing it -- it's been his basic pitch for 35 years. It reflects his hatred of the military, whom he considers to be neither his intellectual nor social equals. He's expressed it openly and often for nearly 35 years.
LEVIN: So when he says that this is a -- you're a Democrat, or at least you were --
O'NEILL: Right.
LEVIN: When he says this is the Republicans twisting what he says, this is the president of the United States who's out of order here, and he's diverting attention and all the rest of it -- more damnable lies.
O'NEILL: The thing I got that I hope every American gets a chance to see, Mark -- I just sent it to you when you asked me to be on this show -- is a message sent by a bunch of Americans in the Army in Iraq, and they have a -- it's hard to describe it, but they have a large banner out, and it misspells all the words to make fun of Kerry. It says, "Halp Us Kerry" -- misspelled H-A-L-P -- "We are stuck here in Iraq." And of course, they did it to mock Kerry. It's the only way to respond, if you're a kid in Iraq, to some -- to a creature like this. He is truly a locust. He eats people's honor, and that's what he's always done.
O'NEILL: That's what so terribly cowardly about Kerry, Mark. These kids have no way at all of responding. They're not even allowed to politically comment. They're far away from home, they're volunteers 100 percent, they didn't get stuck anywhere, they volunteered to go there. And they have some buzzard like Kerry back in the United States saying this stuff, and they can't really defend themselves. They have to depend on people like you and me to do that, or there is no defense at all for them.
O'NEILL: You were talking about Pennsylvania. I had a mother who was from Philadelphia who has two kids who have MBAs, both of whom volunteered to go to Iraq and are right there now with the Marines, call me up. You know -- first of all, both of her kids are a lot smarter than that dummy Kerry, I can promise you that. I debated that guy in 1971, and he is truly a stiff in intellectual ability as well as integrity.

Devils shine on Senior Night
October 17, 2012
GYPSUM – It was Senior Night at Hot Stuff Stadium, as the Eagle Valley Devils soccer team was able to triumph over the Palisade Bulldogs, 3-1, on two goals from Irving Daniel, on Tuesday night.-
Seniorsas Luis Fernando Ruiz, Enrique Amancio Munoz, Giovanni Novella, Noe Rosales, Alex Villegas, Alex Montes Robledo, Brandon Cano, Isaac Sandoval, Aaron Dominguez, Jaisel Chavira amd Josh Leiva played in their last home soccer game.-
It started off quickly for the Bulldogs, as midfielder Spencer Jackson was able to beat all of the Devils defenders and put in the back of the onion bag to give Palisade an early 1-0 lead. That goal didn't seem to faze the Devils in any way as they were able to score four minutes later. Scoring for the Devils was Daniel as he laced one into the net, making the score 1-1. The success would only build for Eagle Valley because in the 27th minute junior Alan Caraveo was able to slam it home from about 25 yards out increasing the Devils' lead to 2-1.-
With the Devils leading the Bulldogs 2-1 at the half Palisade coach Drake Jandreau had a few things to tell his team.
"We needed a lot more productivity, that white (the Devils) were out-hustling us, out playing us," said Jandreau.-
Late into the second half, the Devils were able to notch another goal, scoring again for Eagle Valley was Daniel, coming in the 69th minute.
Eagle Valley coach Bratzo Horruitiner had some good words to say about the contribution of his seniors this year.
"They put a lot of heart and a lot of soul to this team," said Horruitiner. "They were really important pieces to this team, especially on building the team spirit. They're really good and tough guys. They were all good friends."-
The Devils talked about their mind sets for the game and memories from this season.
"This was a great season, great team and we did pretty good," said Novella.
"We are all just one big happy family, one big soccer family and that's what I enjoyed most about the season," said Cano.
"Thank you to all of my teammates. You guys made this my best year," said Novella.-
The Palisade Bulldogs (7-7 overall, 5-7 in league ) will go to Grand Junction Central this Saturday at 7 p.m. and the Eagle Valley Devils (5-9, 4-7) will go to Edwards to face the Battle Mountain Huskies in the cross-county rivalry game to conclude the season Thursday at 6 p.m. —

Fox Downplays Employee Intimidation In Letter From CEO Attacking President Obama
Fox News promoted a letter from business owner David Siegel to his employees, which suggested that their jobs were at stake if President Obama is reelected and allows tax cuts for the rich to expire. Fox downplayed Siegel's letter by claiming he was not instructing his employees on how to vote, and by hiding his previous activism for GOP politicians.
On the October 10 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-hosts Grechen Carlson, Brian Kilmeade, and Steve Doocy reported on Siegel's letter to his employees warning them that their jobs would be in jeopardy if President Obama is reelected. Doocy downplayed Siegel's letter, claiming he didn't "say you have to vote for this guy or that guy, he just says this is what we are facing going forward."
But Siegel's letter contradicts Doocy's claim that he was merely predicting what might happen to the company in the future. While Siegel never mentions Mitt Romney or President Obama by name, he repeatedly suggests that his employees' jobs are dependent on Obama not being reelected. In the letter, confirmed by Gawker, Siegel states [1]:
In spite of all of the challenges we have faced, the good news is this: The economy doesn't currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration.
So where am I going with all this? It's quite simple. If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company. Rather than grow this company I will be forced to cut back. This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone. So, when you make your decision to vote, ask yourself, which candidate understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn't? Whose policies will endanger your job? Answer those questions and you should know who might be the one capable of protecting and saving your job. While the media wants to tell you to believe the "1 percenters" are bad, I'm telling you they are not. They create most of the jobs. If you lose your job, it won't be at the hands of the "1%"; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that swept through this country.
You see, I can no longer support a system that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, so will your opportunities. If that happens, you can find me in the Caribbean sitting on the beach, under a palm tree, retired, and with no employees to worry about.
Further discrediting Doocy's claim, a Forbes article quoted Siegel explaining [2]:
I wanted my employees to be informed as to what could happen if the current President is reelected. It's not speculation, I have hindsight.
You can multiply my experience by millions of other small businesses and its [sic] not hard to predict what the future will hold if Obama is reelected. On the other hand, if Romney is elected businessmen like me would get a shot of adrenalin and will start hiring and growing the businesses and within a short period of time my company and this country will once again be prospering, at least I hope so.
This is also not the first time David Siegel has injected himself into politics by pressuring his employees. In August 2012, Bloomberg Businesweek reported [3] that Siegel took credit for the election of George W. Bush in 2000 by including negative reports about Democratic candidate Al Gore with his workers' paychecks:
Here's Siegel's account of how he swung the election in Bush's favor: "Whenever I saw a negative article about [Al] Gore, I put it in with the paychecks of my 8,000 employees. I had my managers do a survey on every employee. If they liked Bush, we made them register to vote. But not if they liked Gore. The week before [the election] we made 80,000 phone calls through my call center--they were robo-calls. On Election Day, we made sure everyone who was voting for Bush got to the polls. I didn't know he would win by 527 votes. Afterward, we did a survey among the employees to find out who voted who wouldn't have otherwise. One thousand of them said so."

Have any of you guys tried to mod the Tapco Galil mags for your 5.56 AK's?
Printable View
a galil mag locks into my varmint 223 build but its a little tight length wise perfect IMOO . that reciver is based on a tapco flat with the mag well lengthend slightly. it was fitted to take bulgy 223 mags. I havent function tested it yet, but it looks like it should work I may get a few more.
i think they'll work as is in a chinese 223
my gun is completly custom and if they worked in mine it would have no bearing on any other AK in the world. the mag I used was a 10 or 11 rounder not that it really matters. generaly a 30 round mag holds 30 rounds thus its name.Quote:
I'd love to know how they work and how many rounds each mag can hold and successfully feed.
your 5.56/223 needs to have mags made for it not 5.45x39. some guys claim to be able to change the followers in them and make them work some say they dont.Quote:
The good news is that it takes and works with AK 74 mags! Those are only $10 each on some sites!
Are you having trouple finding the correct 223 mag for your gun or something??
I asked about the round count in the mag, as I have a CAI mag that came with my 5.56 AK and is labeled .223, but if you load more than 20 rounds, it doesn't feed well at all.
The funny thing is that I used regular 5.45x39 Bulgarian mags with 20 rounds each and they feed without any issues. I didn't have to add 5.56 followers or do any kind of mods to them.
The mags intended for the SAR 3 are the steel Romanian or East German Weigers. They work really well. The problem is that both of these mags are really hard to find and pricey.
I moded some Bulgy 5.56 "Circle 10" mags and they're great. I have several, but they sure aren't inexpensive.
It's kind of fun trying to get non proprietary 5.56 mags to work in my SAR 3. Saving money is cool too. ;)
I ran my galil 10 0r 11 round nag in my varmint build and it ran flawlesly. The mag well is set up to run bulgy 223 mags. every thing is pretty custom on the gun so your milage may vary.
I will definatly be getting some more of these for my future build wish Ihad tried them sooner.
here is a link to read up on to get the mags to work better. muttman

Ya, to fill the bowls, just use one of those mustard squeeze bottles with a nozzle and stick it into the vent tubes.
I'd drain all that old gas out of the tank and flush the tank and lines with thinner.
I have seen a hole punched into the lower corner of the tank with an ice pick to let the fuel/ thinner drain out, and then a screw coated with tank epoxy to seal the hole. Red-neck, but it works.
There's a check valve/needle under the shooter. That may be stuck. But, as stated above, the engine should still idle/run.
Some spray carb cleaner and a good blow out will probably solve your problem.
|Sir Joab
re: 2 Gas related Questions
Well, disassembling a carb and soaking it wouldn't hurt, though it is a lengthy and tedious process. Perhaps the fuel pickup in the tank is clogged with debris and the pump cant draw fuel fast enough? 19 years is a long time to sit. As for a brand of carb, I like Holley, they are expensive though. I'm also satisfied with the performance of my Carter.
|JIm Sam
Hello to All,
First I don't know how to reply to individual posts as I would like yet. (New to Boards)....So I will give a general reply.
1. - Thanks to all who took the time to respond.
2. - I have gas (old) in the carb..checked with site plug on side of bowl.
At first the needle and seat were stuck so there was too much gas. I pulled the needle and seat and cleaned and seems OK now.
3. - The fuel pump is brand new.
4. - I put an in-line filter before and one after the pump.
5. - I think the car may idle if I can get it to smoothen out a bit. I think I need to try and keep it running for about 5 minutes to see if it works better when warm.....I believe that the idle circuit of the carb should allow the car to run. I don't know much about the idle circuit in detail. This is a Holley 4160/50 - 600cfm.
6. - I am running with a hand choke..(no cable hooked up yet).This could be a slight problem as I think I soaked the plugs the other day with the choke closed to long. I couldn't get out of the car to open the choke by hand. Now I am trying to start with the choke almost fully open. This is how the car rn years ago...(No winter driving)
7. - So to dmorris 1200, sir Joab, One MOre Time, johnsongrass1....I say THANKS....nas ask an additional question....
8. - I took the carb apart and sprayed with carb cleaner quite a bit. I sprayed through all the passages I could see etc. Do you guys think this will work or do I need to disassemble the carb and let it soak in some sort of cleaner solution. Could use advice on brand..
I am somewhat stumped at this point....can I save my pretty new carb????.....Thanks......Jim S
|Sir Joab
re: Gas problems.
Have you checked your fuel pump? It sounds like it may not be supplying enough fuel to the carb to keep the engine running.
As for the old gas, if you have an empty 1 gallon coffee can...
Now I would suggst that you rig up a gallon can from to pull fresh fuel from..disconnect the fuel line from the tank and run it to the gallon can...works just fine for gettin one of those running in the first place..
The old gas can be taken to one of the Hazmat disopsal sites..Should be one around there somewhere..
Then clean out the tank as I have found ther is rust an water in those and tha treally meeses up a carb..Good fuel fileter is mandatory so put one of those somewhere..
An empty carb bowl will do the same thing.
Fill it and try it.
I am suspecting you have a empty carb becasue it will start will manually supplying fuel.
|JIm Sam
Hello Johnsongrass1,
Thanks for the reply....On checking further...the gas is not shooting out of the shooter from the excelerator pump. I read last nite that there is a needle and seat situation located near the shooters. I plan to try and clean that.
I would hate to rebuild the carb as it only has about 1 hour run time.
Thanks again for the reply......Jim
|Try filling the carb bowls with fuel instead of blowing up your self with starter fluid in a can. Squeeze in about 100cc of fluid and pump the throttle once or twice till it shoots fuel out of the shooters. Start vehicle.
|JIm Sam
2 Gas related Questions
Hello All....
My name is Jim and I am working on an old Mustang for my son. Has 351 Clev.
I have had this car in garage for 19+ years. After a bunch of troubles I finally got the car running. Now there is a problem.
I replaced the fuel pump and the carb. Put on a Holley 4160 single pumper. I bought the carb about a year ago but just recently hooked it up to the fuel line. With a blast of starter fluid the car starts...runs ruff and dies. I changed the accelerator pump diaphram. Same trouble...
My 4 questions...
1. - When I open the accelerator linkage, there is no shot of gas that comes out of the top nozzles (Shooters). I pulled the carb again, pulled the front bowl and sprayed carb cleaner as best I could. I pulled the meter block and sprayed as I was there. Have not tried yet but could someone make a suggestion.
2. - Would changing the meter block help?????
3. - Is there a way I can check to see if the shooters? are working while the carb is off the car. Kinda a pain to keep taking it off?
3. - What can I do with the old gas n the car??? I took out most but left about 3 gallons in there. To that I added 7 gallons fo fresh high test. I added octane booster and stbilizer.
The old gas is big problem. I have tried junk yards, city yard, gas stations, parts stores etc. No one wants the old gas or can offer ideas what to do with it. I may try to burn a bit at a time in the snowblower.
Well sorry for the lengthy first post but I tried to include as much info a s possible as I really need help here. Take Care....Jim Sam

Going out on a limb with that prediction....
Thee is our Obama.
Nope can't expect the Wolverines to beat the defending champs in Charlotte. They got a few calls today with the charges, but if they don't get to the FT line Sunday at least five times or more it will blow out city if those threes don't fall. As long as everyone returns next season and they have no injuries, they should get to the big dance and to the sweet sixteen
[SARCASM] Michigan 88 - Duke 85... [/SARCASM]
Michigan 81- Duke 73 YouTube - michigan beats duke.mp4
Well, after tomorrow there will only be 24 teams left and Michigan will be one of them. You have to give the Wolverines credit for a great season, irregardless of the outcome of the Duke contest.
1 and done is not a great season. Sweet 16 ... respect.
I think most would disagree with you. Michigan swept MSU in the regular season and won a game in the tournament. I say that will get you a lot of respect especially since they played so well in the later part of the season. A young team, well coached headed into next year...not bad.
well said, you have to look at where they came from and what the future looks like. one and done for state this year (and they didn't get that far) would be considered a failure if you had set what would be a good season as the ball was thrown up to start the season. Michigan Lost there top 2 players from last season, were picked to finish in the bottom of the standings and there coach was really on the hot seat. This is excited as I have been about the future about Michigan basketball since Webber called the TO he didn't have, and I knew that he was heading to the NBA. Do I expect a win on Sunday, nope... but I expect them to fight for 40 mins win or lose. Saying that... I do have Mich into the Elite 8 on my picks.... so I am a bit nuts :P
State will reload this year and Izzo won't take any prisoners. It's over.
It's definitely over. I saw Izzo out on the golf course this morning....
Great effort by the Wolverines, just when you thought it was all over when they fell down 15 with about 12 mins left in the game. Yeah Duke got off more FT attempts, (25) to the Wolverines 11, but what do you expect when the game is being played in North Carolina,,,, Despite that, the Wolves almost prevailed and I am sure Morris will be thinking about that last decision he made with about 2.5 seconds....should he have stopped and popped, fed a past to the driving Hardaway, dished it out to a wing man for a possible three ball win or just taken it all the way to the rim for a possible Rumeal Robinson like and one and win situation?? Either way the Michigan team...all wearing black sox and shoes, did the M nation proud and did not fold the tent like many expected them to or like GMason is doing right now against the OSU...... Even coach K started sweating and took off his jacket worrying that he may have to wait until next season to get career victory # 900. Get another big man to develop and some more players that can play inside, and the Wolverines will be in sweet sixteen next year with no problem and ready for a possible run at the final four....
Yes, Morris had a lot of options. I guess if you are the man, you want the ball in your own hands at the end. That would have been sweet if someone would have drained a 3 at the buzzer, though.
At least Michigan should control in-state basketball for the next decade. I figure Izzo will go to Golden State now that he's lost his big brother status, and the big blue will dominate by taking all Michigan recruits. Just hope the renovations to Chrisler Arena are done in time for the trophy.
Finally got to watch the Fab 5 special on Espn... Some Nemo thoughts.... 1. I love Jalen Rose, for his upbringing, for his class in the way he handled himself during the shooting of this special, and for his ultimate success as a person. 2. My favorite player was Juwan Howard from the Fab 5, and he still is. I'll always be glad he was part of the team. 3. Glad the Southwestern coach got his gig at UM and eventually at UD. Glad he spoke his peice during the special. 4. I feel much better about Steve Fisher as a coach and a person after watching this special. 5. Very saddened with the comments made about Webber by the current AD, figuring Webber owes the school an apology. 6. Shocked to see all of the racially motivated hate mail from the U of M alumuni. Those people are uneducated fools. 7. Am very proud of the upperclassmen who continued to support the team, even though they were relegated to the bench. 8. Saddened to see Webber cast Martin in a negative light, but I do not feel Webber owes U of M an apology. 9. I would implore Webber to have conversations about this with someone...somebody who can help him. He didn't do this show because I believe he carries a burden upon his shoulders and is still a troubled individual. IMHO. 10. I wish to this day that Webber had stayed with the rest of the team for their junior season to win it all and finally have the victory they deserved... 11. All the four players of the fab 5 who made current comments for this special were wonderful in their expression of thoughts...thanks......
Good comments and a good assessment of the piece. The legacy lives..
I agree. That was by far best the post Nemo made between 10pm and 10:30pm yesterday.
My wife watched it with me for the last 1 1/2 hours. The thing that cheezed her the most was the current AD asking Webber to apologize. She thinks he's an idiot. I'm hoping he can at least not screw up the basketball and football programs going forward.......

Running here: STICKY LCP Recall
Ruger received a small number of reports from the field indicating that LCP pistols could discharge when dropped onto a hard surface with a round in the chamber. We are firmly committed to safety and would like to retrofit all older LCP Pistols. The retrofit involves installation of an upgraded hammer mechanism at no charge to the customer.
How to determine if your pistol needs the retrofit:
All LCP pistols with serial number prefix "371" and higher (371-xxxxx) have been manufactured with the new hammer mechanism and are NOT affected by the recall and DO NOT need to be returned. See Figure 1 below.
If your LCP has a serial number prefix "370" you will need to check the flat portion of the slot just behind and below the hammer for a diamond mark. As shown below in Figure 2, LCPs marked with the diamond have had the new hammer mechanism installed and DO NOT need to be returned.
If your LCP has the "370" serial number prefix and DOES NOT HAVE the diamond mark, we recommend you have your LCP retrofitted with the upgraded hammer mechanism at no charge.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 51
Wow, it's cool to see some places that are local to me on your tour dates.
I'll try to make it out to the Peterborough date.
this is great, i'll try to make it to the antioch show! :)
I've already taken off a day of work for the show in Fontana. I've got an armload of zines and goodies to give away, and I rented a car to bring my zinester friends...
Whats up with this house you stopped at in Ashland? The reason I ask is because I'm moving there in a couple of weeks, and was wondering if there are more zinester folks around that area.

ofcourse i didnt get invited, i never get invited to closed betas
my favorite videogame death :P
If you have the public test realm client under the diablo 3 client on the battlenet download site you can still play the loot 2.0 version without the expansion until you get an invite .
The items are so much overpowered .
I started fresh on the PTR, nothing at all carried over from live, just to see how it went. Started at Expert right from the get go. I have to say I'm having a lot of fun on my new monk. Even on MP10 a fresh start run wasn't really all that bad, I never really got close to death until A3. For the PTR Expert fresh start, the very first champion I came across killed me. I have never been so happy to die in this game, it actually feels challenging again. You know, at least from a fresh start perspective. No idea how it will pan out in the long run but I am definitely fresh starting come release day, it feels good.
I found 13 legendaries just in the first act xd , there are also bags of loot that if you click on them they have a chance to drop legendaries.
heres a video someone made with the bags
Looks like fun. Though not sure I want to go back to it >_<"
Meh, watched Kripp play that for a few days before he got bored (and that guy plays some pretty grindy games). I think he summed it up pretty well, if you liked D3 you'll like RoS. If you didn't, well RoS is more of the same except self found gear is better, you can customize the stats on your gear (with RNG still a factor), and I'm pretty sure that's about it.

Cove Guardians Scott West, Luca Frattini, andEthan Wolf.I sometimes hear criticism along the lines of, "I do not want to be a Cove Guardian, standing around and taking pictures of dead and dying dolphins." Believe me, I do not want to do that either, but unfortunately it is part of the mission. If we were not here to document and report the atrocities, they would still occur. They would occur in secret and these dolphins would die alone and forgotten. By being here, we are able to demonstrate the lengths to which the murderers go to hide their deeds. The shame these men must feel is quite evident. The shame they bring to their country is monumental. Without our being here to document their behavior, their shame would be a secret.
Cove Guardians do more than just photograph and document. We are at the dock each morning when the killers make their plans for the day. There is no time when they are free of us, or free of looking over their shoulders to see if we are watching. We appear when and where they expect us and when and where they do not. We are there to celebrate when they return empty handed from a hunt and we are there when they are torturing the unfortunate dolphins they do find. We track the men and women who buy the bodies of the slain and we document the processing of the meat. We are working on determining where that meat goes and who consumes it. There is no aspect of the hunt, slaughter, or distribution that is free of our presence.
We cost the killers money and we cost the government money. The killers must keep adding layers to their shields in order to hide their activities. This of course takes time and money and makes their work all that more unpleasant. The buyers must take extra precautions to hide themselves and their activities. The drivers constantly scan their rear view mirrors, change their schedules, and take lengthy alternate routes. There are now four different groups of police spending time in Taiji. Many have been brought in from distant places and must stay here away from their families. It is expensive. They have even built a new police station at the cove because we are here. The Japanese Coast Guard has uniformed and plain clothes members here now. There are vessels and aircraft on patrol. The citizens of Taiji want their sleepy little town back and resent the presence of the police as much as they resent our presence.
A Bottlenose nose dolphin shortly before its death.We believe the killers falsely report their kill numbers. Now that we are here, we report the truth. The light is on them and they scurry like insects into the corners and under their tarps. Contrast their behavior with the men and women who catch and process fish. Working in the same areas as the dolphin murderers, the true fishermen make no effort to hide their activities. Yes, there is blood and gore associated with fishing, but the true fishermen are not ashamed of what they do. They do not hide from the cameras and in near-by areas the fishermen invite tourists and their cameras to capture their work. The Cove Guardians are also proud of what we do. We do not shy from cameras and even post our portraits. Let our critics say what they will. The shame of the dolphin killers is clear. If Sea Shepherd Cove Guardians were not here, the dolphin killers could hide in their shame. We will not let them.
Direct action in Japan means holding our ground, not being intimidated by authority or threats, and continually speaking the truth against the lies that the Japanese authorities and media try to present to the Japanese public and to the world.
We have no intention of honoring or respecting the so-called fishermen or dolphin trainers in Taiji. They are despicable excuses for human beings and bring great dishonor to their country and our species. We have no intention of befriending them or even conversing with them. We intend to offer no compromise. We will not even help their economy. We spend money in Japan, but not in Taiji. Our presence in Taiji costs them money for security. Should they eventually see their way clear to stop killing and capturing dolphins and other cetaceans, thenwe would be willing to help them.
Cove Guardians Ron Ball and Scott West.However, the most important thing Cove Guardians do is to inform concerned and passionate people worldwide. We keep the information flowing so the members of the army of dedicated dolphin defenders are able to call, write, fax, and email Japanese government officials in Tokyo, Wakayama, and the world over. It is the pressure from outside that will bring about change from within. In time, more and more Japanese citizens will also take up this effort. We are seeing the growth of a concerned movement in the wake of the Fukushima disaster. Japanese citizens are waking up to the reality that they cannot trust what their government and media tell them. They are learning that the radiation is far worse than they were first told and are seeing for themselves the horrors inflicted upon animals in the seclusion zone. The dirty secret of Taiji is getting out.
Ideally, we would have at least 8 Cove Guardians and 4 vehicles on the ground at all times. It is expensive to come here and it is not without risk. Dutch Cove Guardian Erwin Vermuelen remains in custody and is now awaiting trial. He is strong and has the right stuff. If you have the right stuff and the resources to join us, then write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Minors are welcome if in the company of their parent or legal guardian. The killing season is expected to run through the end of March 2012, and then will pick up again on September 1. Sea Shepherd will be here. Will you?
Please support our work to save dolphins and ocean life around the globe!

It is to be noted that a large chunk of a child's genetic code is carried by the male procreation cell. Some other interesting facts about the male procreation cell, the sperm, are listed below:
- Diet affects a man's sperms: A man's daily diet plays a major role in the health of his sperm. The choice of food has a big impact on sperm. For example, a publication in The Journal of Biology and Reproduction, 2011, has shown that DHA (an Omega-3 essential fatty acid found in cod liver oil and salmon) aids in improving the morphology of the sperm. Increase in DHA levels can turn a sperm with a round head into a healthy sperm with a cone-shaped head and fill it with important enzymes that aid in egg-opening. Increase in levels of DHA also helps in improving sperm mobility. Another study has shown that men who consume an excess of 3 cups of coffee per day exhibit a reduction in concentration of the sperms as well as total sperm count along with poor quality of the sperm.
- Health of sperm can be improved by climaxing regularly: Production of semen is reduced due to irregular ejaculation or abstinence from sex.
- Wireless Technology is capable of damaging sperm: Recent studies have shown that laptops using Wi-Fi to connect to the internet damages sperm via non-thermal effects. Hence, scientists suggest that men should try to avoid keeping laptops on their laps directly and should keep their cell phones in places other than the pant pockets.
- Extra energy for penetrating the egg: The journey of a sperm is long and vigorous; an incredible amount of energy is needed to penetrate the ova. Naturally, there is a dearth of energy when the sperm finally reaches the ova. At this time, a stream of energy is provided because of a burst of progesterone from the female. This energizes the sperm, which in turn, helps in penetration of the egg.
- Protection: The immune system assumes that sperms are foreign invaders because they carry only half the DNA as compared to other cells. Hence, there are special protective cells present in the testicles that create a barrier which tends to attack the sperm cells.
- Life span: The publication of a study in Biology of Reproduction (1984) has stated that sperm cells, in appropriate conditions, have a life span of up to 5 days within a woman's body.
- Negative impact of lifestyle choices on sperms: A number of studies have shown that men having habits such as smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, consuming caffeine and who are obese have hampered fertility. This has a negative effect on the health of a sperm. Men who frequently consume alcohol tend to exhibit poor sperm concentration and lowered sperm mobility. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a doctor.
Are you suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome and are looking for an ideal remedy? Polycystic ovarian disease or PCOD is a common female health condition. It is a complex disorder and involves several factors which include insulin resistance, obesity, irregular menstrual bleeding, insufficient ovum production, and abnormal menstrual cycles. PCOD commonly occurs during the reproductive age of a woman and accounts for being a major cause of infertility.
According to Ayurvedic principles, PCOD occurs primarily due to the imbalance state of your doshas. The dosha vaishanmya is linked to the symptoms of PCOD, and the relationship between the doshas and lakshans is permanent.
PCOD is associated with stri beeja and rajah formation, along with medhodhantu to some extent. These should be attended to while the condition is being treated. The Ayurvedic treatment of PCOD aims at providing ideal care by correction of the ama dosha. By this, you achieve koshta shuddi, which in turn regularizes your tridoshas. The way or approach towards Ayurvedic treatment for PCOD includes the following:
- Treatment of agnimandya at both dhatwagni and jataragni levels.
- The alleviation of sroto avarodha is an essential part of PCOD treatment using Ayurveda. You should undertake purificatory therapies which are based on the grade of your doshic vitialation, and the exact area of affliction. These should be followed by rasayana drugs, which are free radical scavenging agents.
- The regularization of the apana Vata is essential as well. You must firmly avoid vihara and kaphkara ahara.
- Yoga and meditation are very important for the Ayurvedic treatment of PCOD. You should perform yoga asanas regularly. Some of the ideal postures for PCOD management include sarvangasana, matyasana, and shavasana.
- It is also very important for you to work out regularly, undertake different physical exercises. This will make your overall life much healthier.
- You must follow a healthy, www.lybrate.com/treatment-for-healthy-diet, which should consist of fresh vegetables and fruits.
Ayurvedic herbs for the treatment of PCOD

- Phytooestrogen sources and female tonic Shatavari is very much advised.
- Drugs like methika, karela, meshashringi etc. all anti-diabetic drugs as these drugs decreases tissue level peripheral insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, which being the chief pathological sequence in PCOD.
- Guduchi is another effective remedy for PCOD and has a rejuvenating effect.
- Kanchnar is the drug of choice for Thyroid as per AYURVEDA, Strotasshuddhi is done by using Trikatu, Punarnava and other medicines. Rasayan like Shatavari are advised for enhancing female hormones.
If you are experiencing any symptom of PCOD, it is recommended for you to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner. This ensures that proper diagnosis is undertaken so that you can start treating the condition as early as possible.
What menstrual problems are to women, prostate problems are to men. The prostate is a gland in the lower abdomen that aids in the production of semen. The prostate is walnut sized in a young man, but can get enlarged with age. As it grows bigger, it can cause a number of problems. These are commonly seen after a man celebrates his 50th birthday.
There are three common prostate problems faced by men. Some of the symptoms that can tell if a man has a prostate problem are:
1. Difficulty faced while urinating.
2. The urge to urinate frequently at night.
3. Constant feeling of a full bladder.
4. Pain while urinating.
5. Blood in urine.
This can be defined as inflammation of the prostate gland. In most cases the cause of this inflammation is unknown. However, there are two types of prostatitis; bacterial and nonbacterial. While the former reacts well to antibiotics, the latter is more difficult to control. Symptoms of this disease vary from one person to the next. Some of the factors that could trigger this disease are:
1. Chemical irritants
2. Past bacterial infection
3. Dysfunctional pelvic floor muscles
4. Sexual abuse
5. Chronic anxiety
As mentioned earlier, as men get older, the prostate gland tends to grow in size. This growth is benign, but can block the bladder neck and prostatic urethra. This can cause problems urinating and lead to acute urinary retention. This can be very painful. Inserting a catheter can provide temporary relief and help release stored urine. Chronic retention is much less common and is associated with high bladder pressure and can damage the kidneys.
Prostate cancer
Advancing age and family genetic history are said to be the main triggers of prostate cancer. This type of cancer can remain restricted to the prostate gland in its early stages but may spread to the other glands as the cancer advances. This can also cause the growth of secondary tumors in the bones.
The only way to correctly diagnose a prostate problem is with a thorough physical examination. This includes a digital rectal exam where the doctor will insert a gloved finger into your rectum to check the size of your prostate, a blood test, mid stream urine tests and ultrasounds. In some cases a biopsy of the prostate may also be required. Depending on the diagnosis, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics, surgery, radiotherapy or hormone therapy to manage your prostate. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult an urologist.
The term haemorrhage refers to the escape of blood from the vessels through which it runs and the discharge can be either into the internal cavities or in the external regions. Profuse as well as long drawn haemmorrhages can be dangerous and lead to serious outcomes. In some individuals there exists a predisposition which can either be acquired or hereditary and comprises defective contractility of affected arteries. The common haemorrhages can be of three types namely arterial, venous and capillary, and the special types are accidental, antepartum, cerebral, concealed, contrecoup, extradural and intradural haemorrhage. Regardless of the haemorrhage you are suffering from, homeopathy can offer you a solution to your ailment.
What are the symptoms of internal haemorrhage?
Internal bleeding is quite difficult to detect and in some cases it may not be identified for many hours after it starts. Symptoms may only take place when there is severe loss of blood and when the blood clot is big enough for compressing any organ, leading to its inability to function properly. Some people are affected with inborn and genetic errors of blood clotting and in such cases minor injuries can cause a heavy bleeding. Von
Willebrand's disease and haemophilia are two instances of hereditary clotting disease.
There are several homeopathic medications, including secale, trilium, ipecac, hammelis and cinchona, along with various others that can be used for the treatment of haemorrage. However, it is best to consult an expert for availing medicines that are ideal to treat your individualistic health complication.
How can homeopathy treat haemorrahage?
Homeopathy aims to treat an individual as a whole instead of focusing on the affected area or the concerned ailment only. So when you are suffering from haemorrahage, your doctor will evaluate all the relevant aspects of your health that include assessment of the physical and mental conditions, present symptoms, underlying pathological conditions as well as possible causative factors. Some people have a tendency to choose medications on their own and administer them, but it is advisable to not take things into your own hands as a haemorrhage is a broad aspect and shouldn't be experimented with.
It is important to check whether you are susceptible to any kind of haemorrhage and get proper homeopathic medication. It is important to maintain a low blood pressure and stay away from all kinds of activities that can induce heavy gravitational force and stay as stress free as possible. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult a homeopath.
During the natural course of events, a women's body starts its reproductive phase with menarche and at about 50 years of age, attains menopause. This is when the reproductive function ceases and the ovaries stop producing the hormone estrogen and progesterone. In some cases, for various reasons including medical, the ovaries stop functioning earlier, and this is medically termed early or premature menopause. Menopause that occurs before 40 years of age is termed premature menopause; it is due to primary ovarian insufficiency and occurs in 1% of the women. If it occurs between 45 to 50 years, it is termed early menopause.
Causes: Normal ageing, family history, genetic disorders, autoimmune disorders, toxins, and surgery are some reasons that could lead to premature menopause.
Effects: Estrogen and progesterone have a lot of beneficial effects on a women's body. Reduction in their levels leads to some of the below changes:
- Emotional changes like mood swings, irritability, and in some cases depression, especially in premature menopause.
- Irregular cycles before complete cessation of the menstrual cycles.
- General mucosal dryness leading to vaginal dryness, dry skin, dry eyes.
- There also would be urinary incontinence and reduced sex drive due to reduced hormone levels.
- For women who still would want to have children, infertility would be a big cause for concern. This could lead to other emotional issues, worsening the depression.
- Osteoporosis - Bones lose their density and get weak and are more prone to fracture.
- Cardiovascular health - Post menopause, women are more prone to heart attacks and stroke. Though not fully proven, this is believed to be true as the good role that estrogen plays on blood vessels is negated with menopause.
- Accelerated ageing - Menopause leads to accelerated damage of genetic structures, thereby leading to faster ageing. This also leaves a feeling in the women of being less attractive and less desirable.
There is also a good news, that after menopause women are at lesser risk of cancer - especially breast and ovarian.
It is not easy for women to handle premature menopause. The body undergoes some changes much earlier than expected, and it requires a lot of support and caring and comforting to come to terms with it - especially if associated with infertility or chemotherapy for cancer. Emotional issues of not being able to have children and feeling less attractive require frank talks to boost the person's confidence and increase self-worthiness.
It is easier said than done, but one of the key ways to handle premature menopause is an open discussion. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult a gynaecologist.
Gastric acids are chemicals provided by your stomach to aid digestion. But the corrosive effects they induce are counteracted by the secretion of other chemicals. It is when the secretion of these chemicals is impaired that it leads to damaged stomach lining, causing acidity, also known as acid reflux.
Ayurveda promises some easy home treatments for acidity which are quite efficient in ensuring fast recovery for you. You can use any of these listed Ayurvedic treatments if you suffer from acidity.
- Amla powder (Indian Gooseberry) and honey: Soak one teaspoonful of amla powder in half a cup of water. Add honey and stir and drink empty stomach in the morning. Repeat similarly for the evening.
- Cumin seeds: You can reduce cumin seeds to their powder form, then you have to add half a spoon of it to water; presumably, one liter. Then, keep the solution boiling then filter it. You will have to make sure that you drink this solution instead of normal water. Take this water based solution everyday till recovery. This is quite an effective remedy for acidity.
- Mulethi (liquorice) and honey: You can reduce liquorice root to powder, then to half a spoon of this powder add little honey to form paste. Lick to consume this paste twice daily after meals. Liquorice neutralizes the acids quickly to give relief.
- White pumpkin juice: Take white pumpkin peel and slice it and make a pulpy juice out of it. Half a cup twice daily gives fast recovery from gastritis and acidity. Alternatively you may eat sweet made of pumpkin (peetha ki methai) after meals.
- Buttermilk: You can take half a glass of buttermilk and add a pinch of each asafetida and turmeric to it. With it, also take care to add a tiny amount of fenugreek and drink it at night, to make the most of its benefits.
- Jaggery: You can try taking boiled ash gourd with jaggery. This relieves the burning sensation in the stomach to a considerable extent. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult an ayurveda.
HIV, which is short for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, penetrates your body and directly attacks your immune system. In this process, the virus weakens your body's natural defense mechanism against diseases and infections. A compromised immune system makes the body prone to minor infections, which healthy people would generally overcome. The virus itself doesn't cause any physical symptoms. It only serves to ease the entry of other bacteria and viruses into the body.
The following are some of the ways HIV affects your body:
1. Immune system - The human immunodeficiency virus destroys CD4 cells, the white blood cells that help the immune system ward off foreign substances. If left unchecked, HIV can develop into AIDS. During such time, the virus may damage the immune system to an extent that it wouldn't be able to ward off minor infections that a healthy immune system would. A person with HIV could thus suffer from fever, chills, sweats, shortness of breath, white spots in the mouth, fatigue, skin rash and weight loss from time to time.
2. Respiratory system - As HIV develops into AIDS, the body can contract infections such as pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), tuberculosis and Kaposi's sarcoma. These conditions lead to serious respiratory problems. PCP is found to be one of the most common infections among people with HIV. 85% of the people would develop the infection if the condition is left untreated.
3. Skin problems - As in healthy individuals, many skin conditions can also occur in people with HIV or AIDS. But a compromised immune system heightens the condition and causes difficulty in treatment. Dermatitis, psoriasis, and hives are common conditions. They are also prone to a rare type of skin cancer known as Kaposi's sarcoma.
4. Gastrointestinal System - Gastrointestinal disorders are the most common ailments for people diagnosed with HIV and AIDS. Problems faced include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding. 50% of the people suffering from HIV encounter gastrointestinal disorders at some point of their illness. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult a sexologist.
Erectile dysfunction is a condition where a man finds it difficult to maintain an erection during a sexual performance. Over 50% of the overall population above the age of 75 suffers from this condition. This might occur from a lack of sexual desire or from a person suffering from conditions, such as fatigue, anxiety and stress. Excessive consumption of alcohol also leads to erectile dysfunction. Some standard treatments related to erectile dysfunction include implants, vacuum pumps, surgery and natural treatments.
What leads to erectile dysfunction?
An erection involves the participation of nerves, brain, blood vessels, muscles, etc.Erectile dysfunctionscan be caused by obesity, diabetes, tobacco consumption, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, problems involving the prostate gland, etc. A study showed that more than 60% of the people who are over dependent on alcohol tend to suffer from erectile dysfunction.
Why a visit to the doctor is necessary?
Erectile dysfunction can be a sign of completely unrelated diseases or health problems. It is necessary to know the underlying cause of the symptoms of this condition. Some common treatments suggested by doctors are losing weight, exercising, and curbing the intake of alcohol and cigarette smoking. Doctors often prescribe medicines such as Viagra and Levitra, but that might come with side effects such as headaches, nasal congestion and dizziness.
Natural remedies to treat erectile dysfunction
- Dehydroepiandrosterone: Dehydroepiandrosterone or DHEA hormone is produced by the adrenal gland. Our body has the capability to convert this hormone into both estrogen and progesterone. The dietary supplement of DHEA is prepared from soy and yam. A study conducted in Massachusettsin the year 1999 showed that consumption of DHEA supplements can greatly improve this condition within six months.
- Consumption of L-arginine: L-arginine is a naturally occurring amino acid present in the body. It increases the rate of nitric acid in the body which in turn relaxes the blood vessels and facilitates a successful erection. A study conducted by the NIH in 1999 confirmed that the intake L-arginine on a daily basis significantly helps in treating erectile dysfunctions. L-arginine can also be taken with pycnogenol to get quick results.
- Kavach Beej: Beneefits of Kavach Beej include the remedies for fatigue, tiredness, lack of sexual desire, and erectile dysfunction. This herb has a catchy name, but it is also very potent as a sexual libido enhancing herb, improving both low testosterone and returning the thyroid bodily hormone to normal, improving sex.
- Shilajit: Shilajit is used as the important part of many Indian Ayurvedic remedies for the sexual health of Men. Shilajit is famous and popular for being effective in the treatment of numerous diseases, health conditions and disorders. Shilajit is generally considered to be very useful and most effective in the treatments of problems related to sexual health.
- Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha has been used since 2000 years to treat erectile dysfunction in Indian Medicine in some traditional and folk remedies. It boosts libido and increases longetivity. Ashwagandha reduces stress level, so benefits to improve the stamina.
- Safed Musali: Safed musli, a very potent ayurvedic aphrodisiac herb, has been proven to be extremely beneficial in treating low libido and erectile dysfunction. Safed musli is also an excellent remedy for several other male conditions, including infertility, oligospermia or low sperm count, premature ejaculation, and physical weakness. It has the ability to increase your sperm count and semen motility, and thereby improves your fertility. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult a sexologist.
Your stomach is lined with a mucosal membrane known as the mucosa and due to a variety of factors, it may become inflamed. This inflammation may cause a lot of problems and complications which are grouped under gastritis.
Symptoms of gastritis
- Upper abdominal pain
- Hiccups
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Heartburn
- Constipation
- Reduction of appetite
- Blood in the stool amongst the others
Gastritis can be quite debilitating and limiting for the people affected by it.
The Ayurveda approach
Ayurveda is a holistic form of medicine which takes into account many factors rather than just the physical disposition and symptoms that strives to cure the patients of the illness in a well-rounded manner. To this effect, Ayurveda helps you treat this problem with multiple angles of attack such as herbal medications and special cleansing therapies among many others. Let's take a look at some of the methods usually employed in various combinations among the patients.
- Changes in diet: Consuming any diet which has a lot of spicy and rich foods over prolonged periods may result in gastritis and other problems. If you already have gastritis, then certain other types of food also need to be excluded such as tea, coffee, sour foods, chilies and buffalo milk among others. These food groups are excluded as they may increase the acidity of the stomach which may cause an escalation of the problems. Some of the foods that may help with gastritis are grapes, pumpkins, bitter gourd, pomegranate, melons and cucumber, etc.
- Natural remedies: Some natural remedies that can be very effective in dealing with the symptoms of gastritis are mentioned below
- Ajwain and rock salt have been an age old remedy in treating multiple gastrointestinal disorders and can be effective in this case as well.
- Lemon juice is also very effective in treating symptoms or gastritis and also reducing inflammation.
- Take amla, ginger, and licorice either in a raw form or as a dried option or mixed with other things such as milk or honey. These help in regulating and reducing the acidity within the stomach.
- Ayurvedic medications: There are many specialized Ayurvedic medications which can be used to treat gastritis such as:
- Amalaki choorna
- Avipattikara choorna
- Sootashekhara rasa
- Sukumara Ghrita
- Dhatri Lauha
However, you should consult a specialist Ayurveda doctor as they can prescribe the correct medications for you after studying your specific symptoms.
There are innumerable explanations as to why couples in long-term relationships find themselves in situations when either one of the partner's starts avoiding sex for a reason the other cannot comprehend.
The explanation for your partner's behaviour may be due to an underlying medical issue or various emotional or psychological factors. Following are a few reasons why your partner does not want to have sex anymore:
1. Physical factors: Your partner might be experiencing a loss of libido due to physical ailments, particularly ones pertaining to the endocrine and circulatory systems. Disorders such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, heart complications to name a few, affect the hormone levels in the body, which leads to the lack of sexual drive.
2. Psychological factors: Many mental and emotional factors also affect libido in both men and women. Stress and depression, which often cause sleep deprivation, are two of the biggest causes of unwillingness to have sex. Talk to your partner about what the root of the problem is and ascertain what is creating stress and triggering depression. Communication and counselling are the main ways of dealing with such a situation.
3. Excessive masturbation: If a person watches too much pornography and consequently indulges in masturbation frequently, sexual function is automatically lowered when it comes to performing during intercourse. If your partner masturbates too much, simply ask that the practice be put an end to.
4. Lack of affection: When there is a lack of warmth and affection between partners, the desire to engage in sexual intercourse is automatically diminished. Communicate with your companion to determine ways in which you can rekindle love and passion in the relationship.
5. Addiction to narcotics: If your partner has developed an addiction to certain narcotics , such as nicotine, morphine and various anti-depressants, that are known to reduce sexual drive, it could be the reason for not wanting to have sex.
The reasons for developing an aversion to sex are often extremely subjective and complex. Open and honest communications between partners may unravel the problem but in many cases, therapy and medical assistance provides the solution. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult a sexologist.

I am 21 years old .Last week on 16th june, my right foot was twisted while I was playing badminton. A swelling appeared on my right ankle and I find it difficult to walk at that time. A surgeon stays right beside my house and I consulted him. He said it was by 90% an ankle sprain and suggested me crepe bandage, volini spray, mobizox and chymoral forte. I took it for 3 days and there was a great relief. I can even walk now - (cannot run.) .But sometimes when I sit on chair or on bed, I feel some sort of pain (bearable pain) at the ankle position. Is this the indication that the actual injury was a fracture. I am doubtful because if it was a fracture I wouldn't be able to walk for almost a week .But I can walk. So is this possible that this a hairline fracture and thats why I can walk. Please tell me the reason behind the pain while sitting or lying on bed. Also the pain occurs sometimes not always and that too for a short period probably 2-3 minutes. Also please suggest some home remedies and precautions.
I am suffering from fever for last 10 days. Alsocold and cough .plz suggest me give medicine forever my.
My self Poornima, age 22. I was affected by cold and cough for last 3 days I have taken usual 5able like dolo650 all but still it not rectified, could not breath. Please suggest me.
Asthma is a condition that severely affects the lungs. The airways become narrow and the lungs become inflamed. Its characteristic features include bronchospasm, reversible airflow obstruction and variable and recurring symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness. This might be caused up to 2 to 3 times a day.
- Daily use of Paracetamol
- Vaccines
- Daily use of antibiotics
- Caesarean sections
- Asthma in family
Asthma is usually triggered by:
- Tobacco Smoke
- Exercise
- Polluted or Poor air
- Cold Air
- Emotional Stress
- Allergies
Homeopathy is a system of medicine which tries to 'cure' this disease, instead of trying to provide symptomatic relief. While dealing with a case of asthma, a homeopath not only records the symptoms of the disease but also studies the medical history, family history, physical and psychological characteristics of a person. This helps to find the cause, the precipitating factors, and the hereditary tendency etc. Of special interest to a homeopath is the history of suppression of skin disease. Homeopaths believe that when there is a tendency or predisposition for a disease – it first manifests on the less vital organs, towards the periphery (like skin). If this manifestation is suppressed than the disease shifts inwards, towards the more vital organs (like lungs, heart, brain etc).
The fact that in children asthma is often preceded by eczema is observed by the allopaths also. This fact is written in all their textbooks of medicine. They say that children often 'move-out' of eczema and 'move-into' asthma. But they are unable to make a correlation. Homeopaths believe that the suppression of eczema with topical preparations, does not cure the disease/sensitivity of the person, it merely drives it inwards.
Now after ascertaining the symptoms and the cause, the homeopath tries to find a medicine which matches the symptoms as well as the general characteristics of the person. The medicine so selected is administered to the patient.
When a right medicine is given, the asthma disappears but the old eczema or skin rash reappears for some time, before finally disappearing itself. This reappearance of old symptoms is seen as a reversal of disease process and is considered a very good prognostic sign by homeopaths.
MEDICINES – There are lots of medicines in homeopathy for asthma symptoms and it is not possible to list them all here. Some of the common medicines are ars- alb, ipecac, lachesis, pulsatilla, spongia, sulphur, ignatia, antim-tart, hepar-sulph, nat-sulph, tuberculinum etc. The selection of medicine varies from patient to patient. Therefore, it is always recommended to consult a specialized homeopath for treating your individual case.

CNET News.com has a special section marking the tenth anniversary of the first public beta
of Netscape Navigator. The retrospective includes news that America Online is working on
a new version of Netscape, which will be unveiled alongside a revamped Netscape portal
in the New Year (this effort is distinct from AOL's braindead project to build an IE-based
browser). There's also an article about the ventures many Netscape alumni have been
involved with and a collection of links from around the Web loosely answering the
question of whether Netscape can ever regain its former glory.
. . . More over at MozillaZine.org . . . lots more at CNET News.com . . .
So, Netscape is celebrating it's 10th anniversary . . . but given whats happened to Netscape over
the last few years, such as the mauling from Microsoft's IE, and the corporate neglect from AOL,
it all begs one pertinent question . . . is there really much left to celebrate anymore . . . ?

Re: Taking the bull by the horns
Ask obviously how old the boat is and if the rigging is original, ask what condition the sails are in, ask what kind of ground tackle comes with the boat, ask how the out board runs if it has one. Don't pay for a survey. not for a boat this size and for what you ecpect it to do.

Re: Taking the bull by the horns
Let me first start off by apologizing that I did not respond with comments or answers to questions sooner, but have been pretty tied up recently and this is the first time I've gotten back to the forums. Thanks for all the advice thus far. I will do my best to make any clarifications or ask additional questions where necessary.
As I continue my quest to find the right boat, one problem I am encountering is that I do not live anywhere near the majority of the boats I am interested in (of course there are always exceptions) and pictures and descriptions can be deceiving. While the boat inspection tip trips thread is very helpful for what to look for in person, I am hoping to get a list of questions I should be asking boat owners over the phone and/or what areas I should get pictures of before making the 200+ mile drive to view the boat in person. Also, up to this point I planned on getting the boat surveyed, but do you think that it is stupid to spend $600 to survey a $3500 boat when I could devote that money to a better/higher quality boat?
Point of clarification: when I said fit 3-4 people comfortably, I mean only for day sailing. At this point, I have no interest in sleeping on this boat. I am also open minded about a Dry Slip mast up but will definitely have to budget for it, which leaves me with less for the actual boat. Thanks again for all the responses.
Re: Taking the bull by the horns
You can easily find a perfectly sailable boat in a slip at that length for $2500. That leaves you an entire year of slip fees within your budget (more if you're mooring).
Then you just stumble down to the water, pee, throw the can in someone else's cockpit, and go sail. No setup - no fuss. Easy peasy.
Whatever you do, figure out the easiest and quickest way to actually get the sails up. That's what it's all about.
Re: Taking the bull by the horns
Shop, shop, shop. then shop somemore. At one of those stops she will speak to you. Then inspect every square inch. Also while stepping and ustepping are possible look for a launch site where you can Dry slip on your trailer with the mast up. Its cheaper then a slip and a lot faster then stepping the mast and tuning the rigging every sail. Most importantly stay safe and have fun Richard PS I trailer sail the PY26 that is sitting in my driveway
Re: Taking the bull by the horns
I found trailer sailing to be disappointing; too many fine sailing days went by with my boat safely on the trailer. I loved my Catalina 18, but stepping the mast and rigging/launching the boat for anything less than a weekend was not realistic (for me). Your mileage will likely vary.
I do agree that there is no substitute for owning your own boat! If your lake allows overnight anchoring, you could set up on Saturday and break it down on Sunday.
I towed my C18 with a Ford Ranger 3.0 liter 4wd; it only got ugly once and I mangaged to get through it. I had just gotten the gear to do strap launching when I sold it.
I looked at the C22 but it would require a change of tow vehicle (an F-150 or similar). The biggest issue with a trailer is stopping it, don't exceed the tow rating for the vehicle.
I recommend the Catalinas because there are so many to choose from and parts are always available. Some people dislike them for the same reason.
Re: Taking the bull by the horns
Capt Aaron is right-I can step/tune my Catalina 22 in 30 minutes with the help of one other person.....
Re: Taking the bull by the horns
Hey, keeping your 25 footer in your yard has it's advantages. And once you get good at stepping your mast it will take 30 min.'s Ya, it's a pain, but you will get good at it and you will be launching and hauling pretty quick/. You'll be sweating and cussing, but you'll be proud of your self. There are trailer sailor advocates out there, get with them on the in's and out's.
Re: Taking the bull by the horns
Dont try to trailer your 20-25 foot boat to the lake/house/bay (youre either Lake Ponchatrain, Vermillion Bay or Calcasieu lake likely) every time you use it - stepping a mast is labor intensive. A boat that size should stay at the lake/bay with the mast up. If you must take it home each time, buy a boat 10-15 feet long - you can get those masts up/down a lot easier. Swing keels and shoal draft will be great for Vermillion and Calcasieu where the water is shallow. Good luck.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK -- Responding to a measure that increases Oklahoma's tax on vending machines by 300%, the Oklahoma Vendors Association is urging the state's operators to submit written comments and attend a public hearing organized by the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
National Automatic Merchandising Association senior vice-president for government affairs Ned Monroe explained that the state Legislature enacted a tax law earlier this year that, among other things, increases the levy on coin-operated equipment 300%. READ STORY
The Oklahoma Tax Commission now must revise its tax rules to conform to the provisions of the new law, and a public comment period is required whenever the commission changes those rules.
"It is important that vending operators continue to express their concern with this excessive increase," Monroe emphasized. "In this economy, such a tax increase is harming small businesses. The tax commission needs to hear our concerns. We also encourage all vending operators in Oklahoma to contact their state legislators to try and have this tax repealed when the legislature reconvenes on Feb. 7."
Written comments should be sent to the Oklahoma Tax Commission, Tax Policy and Research Division at 2501 North Lincoln Boulevard, Oklahoma City, OK 73194. They will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 5.
The public hearing will be held the following day, Jan. 6, at 10 a.m. in the hearing room at the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
For information on attending the hearing, contact Mary Lou Monaghan at NAMA's southern office at email@example.com.

Lt. Dan Choi became the first New York National Guard member to be discharged from the service because he admitted to being gay. Choi, a 2003 West Point graduate, and a member of the West Point Knights Out group made up of gays and lesbians who graduated from that institution, believes it would be a violation of the Point's honor code to lie about his sexual orientation. The "don't ask, don't tell" policy according to Choi is "an immoral code that goes against every single thing we were ever taught at West Point with our honor code." His lawyer, Maj. Roy Diehl commented sarcastically, "they are taking effective troops– and kicking them out , removing them from the force just as effectively as if al-Qaida was blowing them up."
Lt. Dan Choi spent 15 months leading soldiers in combat and risking his life for his country. Tell me, President Obama, since you never served in the armed forces, do you regard your policy of delay to be immoral since it ends the service of those who risked all for their nation?
