Categories of Individuals Covered by the System:
Claimants, applicants, beneficiaries, ineligible spouses and potential claimants for Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, Medicare Advantage Part C, Medicare Part D and for Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage subsidies.

Further, separate files may be maintained of certain actions which are entered directly into the MDB file. These relate to reports of changes of income and resources and other post-adjudicative reports. Separate data are also maintained for statistical purposes (e.g., subsidy denial, and demographic and statistical information relating to subsidy decisions).
This file also contains information about Medicare Part A, Part B, Medicare Advantage Part C, and non-subsidy Medicare Part D beneficiaries. The information maintained in this system of records is collected from beneficiaries for Medicare Part A, Part B, Medicare Advantage Part C, Medicare Part D, and other source systems maintained by SSA. The information maintained for Part B also include: the individual's name and SSN; enrollment information; premium surcharge information; information from the Internal Revenue Service about such individual's modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) from his/her Federal tax return, including adjusted gross income (AGI), and other tax-exempt income, and tax filing status for each year that the MAGI exceeds a statutory income threshold. Also included is information about MAGI provided by a claimant or beneficiary; supporting evidence and documentation for new initial determinations and appeal requests; Medicare Part B income-related monthly adjustment amount determinations; reconsiderations and appeals of Medicare Part B income-related monthly adjustment amount determinations; information essential to the deduction of premiums from Title II monthly benefits from Railroad Retirement annuities, Civil Service retirement benefits and direct billing by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; and data necessary to providing fiscal accounting of premiums withheld.
The file may also contain data collected as a result of inquires or complaints, and evaluation and measurement studies of the effectiveness of Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act (MMA) policies.

Retention and Disposal:
Pursuant to 36
CFR 1228.26, SSA will submit to
System Manager(s) and Address:
Deputy Commissioner
Disability and Income Security Programs
Social Security Administration
Notification Procedure:
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the system manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels information in the record for which notification is being requested. If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth along with one other piece of information such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent to providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with SSA regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Record Access Procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably specify the information they are seeking. These procedures are in accordance with SSA regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Contesting Record Procedures:
Same as Notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and state the corrective action sought, and the reasons for the correction, with supporting justification showing how the record is incomplete, untimely, inaccurate or irrelevant. These procedures are in accordance with SSA regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)).
Record Source Categories:
Information in this system is obtained from claimants, beneficiaries, applicants and recipients; accumulated by SSA from reports of employers or self-employed individuals; various local, State, and Federal agencies; claimant representatives and other sources to support factors of entitlement and continuing eligibility or to provide leads information.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TaS, Oct 20, 2006.
yeah, i know..lol. I'll keep trying.
I wonder if you have any idea that you didn't come close to answering the question.
I'll give one excuse. He has not played.
All 21 points by Darko were in the paint, including his 9-9 free throw shooting. Darko did have two delayed fast break buckets. Darko contributed to 40 points of Orlando's scoring, 21 points himself, nine off his assists, 6 off a 2nd pass after an alert kickout of a doube team, and 3 from free throws made after someone was fouled under the basket after a Darko pass.
I gotta get started on my prediction for the Detroit-Olando game. I think I'll wait until after the Orlando-NYK game to see how things look before posting my predictions. Putting them right in the thread is ok though?
TIEBREAKER: Darko-point system 1 point = 1 point 1 rebound = 1 point 1 assist = 2 points 1 steal = 2 points 1 block = 2 points For the combined 2 game set against Detroit- Jammertime guesses DM will amass 53 Darko-points Jackattaq guesses he will get 64 Darko-points So the over/under is 58.5 points. No chance of a further tie. As an example, we'll take Darko's game last night against the Knicks: 12 points = 12 points 7 rebounds= 7 points 1 assist = 2 points 1 steal = 2 points 1 block = 2 points TOTAL = 25 Darko points.
lol darko points?
It's just a way to make his point total sound bigger. I almost included "screens set" as being worth points, but that would just cause trouble.
There isn't a chance he gets above 35 Darko points.
TaShawn, we might have to adopt your Darko points methodology as forum standard. It will be useful when gauging Amir, Max and we could even go back and do historical analysis on Rodney White and Mateen Cleaves!
When computing Darko Points, what about: (1) Shots that looked really nice when leaving Darko's hands (2) Darko passes that led to passes that led to passes that eventually led to made baskets (3) Points that are scored by teammates that wouldn't have been scored if not for the mere presence of Darko on the floor If we're going to judge Darko, you have to factor in all of the intangibles. Including only statistics used by the simple minds does not do justice to what Darko truly brings to the table.
I think I want to vomit again.
Going with TaShawn's formula, I'll say Darko goes for 20 DP tonight and 26 DP tomorrow night, a grand total of 46 DP for the 2-game set. I'll also say that Darko will average 47.3 DP48 (Darko Points per 48 minutes).
Yeah, I think Darko will have a one game high in this set of 32 DP. But he will be under 24 DP in the other match. It's hard to decide which one.
You're really some kind of masochist. Every post, you complain about the contents of the thread, how it makes you physically ill, and yet you are drawn to it, like Chauncey Billups to a pull up transition 3 pointer.
That's not even the half of it. Sometimes I wear mismatched socks to work too. :nerd2: I guess when it comes to Darko...I'm that dude who holds up traffic trying to get a glimpse of the disaster. Yep, this Darko mania has made me go insane. No doubt about it. lol. By the way, my ill comment was really geared toward the fact that Darko gets his own point system. I find it incredible how much attention this guy gets. Its like hearing someone sing the praises of Kurt Rambis's impact on the championship Lakers versus Magic's. Drives me nutz!
Next, the Rambis/Nevitt system!
I'm definitely in favor of tracking these. After all, once it leaves your hand who knows what will happen. There could be breezes, low flying aircraft, the occasional indoor blimp, and what about those annoying shotblockers? I agree, if you can shoot a pretty shot, that ought to count for something.
So we have the DHOFers, the DHaters, and now the DGawkers. Why don't we all agree to just let this 2 game set arbitralily settle the debate once and for all and give an official PF.com consensus. Even though it's not fair and doesn't mean anything statistically, we need a conclusion to this. If the DP's for the 2-games come in less than Jammer's guess (53), then let's say he is a bust. If they come in above Jackattaq's guess (64), we will all assume that he will be in the Hall of Fame someday, it's just a matter of time. And if it is somewhere in between, then both sides were officially right the whole time in a strange paradoxical way. I'll abide by that. This is a proposal for an end to the Dark War. Tear down that wall.
Separate names with a comma.

Brits Say, 'Please Don't Return Piers Morgan
A petition drive calling for CNN TV host, Piers Morgan, to get deported from the U.S., is raising some serious concerns among many citizens of Great Britain. They would prefer the pompous TV reporter stay in the United States of America.
Breitbart reports that, Jeremy Clarkson, a British television personality who hosts the popular BBC program Top Gear, weighed in on the controversy surrounding fellow Brit CNNs Piers Morgan.
Clarkson tweeted on Monday, Americans it took us 40 years to get rid of Piers Morgan. Please dont send him back Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) December 24, 2012.
Clarkson added, Americans. Was the Second Amendment not introduced to protect you from the tyranny of the British? Piers Morgan in other words. Jeramy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) December 24, 2012.
According to Breitbart, following the deadly shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, Morgan insulted second amendment advocates on Twitter and called a guest on his CNN show, Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners for America, an idiot, dangerous and an unbelievably stupid man.
More than 50,000 Americans have already signed the petition that was launched by an individual by the name Kurt N. at WhiteHouse.gov. It demands that Morgan be deported.

The Weekly Health Quiz: Pool Parasites, Death Rattle and Food as Medicine
June 23, 2017
Subareolar abscess is an abscess or growth on the areolar gland. The areolar gland is located in the breast under or below the areola (colored area around the nipple).
Abscess - areolar gland; Areolar gland abscess
Subareolar abscess is caused by a blockage of the small glands or ducts below the skin of the areola that result in infection of the glands.
This is an uncommon problem that affects younger or middle-aged women who are not breastfeeding. Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, and nipple piercing.
The health care provider will perform a breast exam. An ultrasound of other imaging test of the breast is recommended in some cases. A blood count and a culture of the abscess, if drained, may be ordered.
Subareolar abscesses are treated with antibiotics and by opening and draining the infected tissue. This can be done in a doctor's office with local numbing medicine (anesthesic). If the abscess returns, the affected glands should be surgically removed. The abscess can also be drained using a sterile needle. This is often done under ultrasound guidance.
Prognosis is good after the abscess is drained.
Subareolar abscess may return until the affected gland is surgically removed.
Contact your health care provider if you develop a painful lump under the nipple or areola.

If you've ever been curious about the man behind the Delorean, head to Artists Space at 38 Greene Street for a showing of Duncan Campell's 2009 film Make It New John. Beyond the wild looks and movie star status, the DMC-12 and its maker John Delorean actually have quite a tale to tell. From wide-eyed 1980s optimism and $10,000 premiums when the car initially hit dealerships to company insolvency and an FBI arrest a couple of short years later, the back story reads more like a Hollywood drama than anything else. The 51 minute film, which runs every hour on the hour until May 1st, fuses original footage from the 1980s with re-enactments and documentary-style interviews to contrast the DeLorean dream with its spectacular downfall during a critical period in Northern Ireland's history and the canonization of the car. Campbell describes the film as "a parody of the American myth of mobility". Our friend and fellow photographer Aaron Stern was good enough to snap these pictures from the exhibit's opening night.

EDIT: the following is addressed to "Hali", not to ratboy, who wrote the post above this one.
I'm inclined to make fun of your gibberish, but you know what? I get you. I did the i ching and the runes for awhile, because prozac was expensive or unavailable and my only provisions were meditation and short draughts of vodka once a week or less. A bad time. In times like these you go to the oracle, and when you go to the oracle, with sincerity and desperation both, the oracle will tell you the truth.
And while I know the truth, I can't tell it or see it again. It's more slippery than trout, more transient than youth, bigger than a bread box, beautiful as a young girl's tit...you've heard the drill.
I had it. I lost it...
Hali said:Fatalist Palmistry...
i have spent many nights sitting in front of candles organized by color placed in certain directions, black for purity and red for love, lit up and slowly healing my faults.. 12, 13 years old, sitting in my backyard in the early hours of the morning when the full moon is still visible, getting in touch with the world by storybook means... holding friends dry, or oily, or hands and tracing them with a finger. shortened to "faepalm"
Maranda Elizabeth said:Haha, awesome! I've only had, like, one or two people in all these years ask me if it had anything to do with T.Rex!
Same goes with Culture Slut, it's very rare that people catch the reference.
my zine's called YOUR PRETTY FACE IS GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL, and it's named after an iggy & the stooges song with an added 'straigh'. it was originally just a temporary one off name for #1 which was a 24h zine, but when i finished #2 (which i'd already been writing for almost a year when making #1) i couldn't come up with anything 'better', so it stuck. and i like it. i've had one person recognise it so far, and another person asked me if it had anything to do with the finnish lovemetal band HIM because the singer used to wear a jacket on stage with your pretty face is going to hell written on the back. i think i read somewhere ages ago that he's a fan of the stooges / iggy pop though, so its not that far off. ha.
i've also done art zines with my boyfriend, carl. one of them was called FRAGILE cos we'd covered the cover in fragile tape (clever, aye?) and the other was called YES DARLING BUT IS IT ART.. OR ARSE? after a television personalities album (yes darling, but is it art?) and 'art or arse' by billy childish, local artist/musician who lived few houses down from where i lived back then.
There's a Comet Gain song too with the line "You're pretty face is going straight to hell." I can't remember what song righ tnow (I've been up since 4am and am listening to some weird german cover of a Chumbawamba song) but it's on the Realistes album.

There is scant doubt violence has declined in Iraq since 30,000 additional American troops were dispatched to that nation earlier this year. But, according to General Joseph Fil, commander of US forces in Baghdad, the progress achieved in recent months is "fledgling, fragile, and not guaranteed." The additional troops have made it possible to maintain forces in every part of the city, but he believes the situation is far from resolved. "There is absolutely a risk of going too quickly" because leaving "before the Iraqis are truly able to take over these areas independently would be very risky, and there ares some areas in the city where, at this point, it would fail."
There are now 160,000 American troops in Iraq, a force capable to maintaining order in major cities like Baghdad, but there are still rural areas where the situation is less stable. There was never any doubt placing thousands of American forces in Baghdad would temporarily lessen violence. The central question at all times is what happens when US forces depart? Will Iraqi soldiers be able to keep things under control? Has the Iraq government created a viable coalition of political parties which can work together for peace and stability? The answers to these questions is an unqualified, no. Are al-Qaeda and other insurgents lurking in the shadows prepared to resume violence once American troops leave? Chances are the answer is an unqualified, yes. The surge will not work until Iraq has made political strides to go along with military. A political issue for Americans is how long with people in this nation go along with a major military presence in Iraq?

KANSAS GOVERNOR SAM BROWNBACK: He is pursuing what may be the boldest agenda of any governor in the country. But while Sam Brownback is gaining national attention for radically altering the size and scope of Kansas government, the negative headlines keep piling up at home. This half we push aside our regular reporter roundtable to hear from the Governor himself. We hit the criticisms head on to examine what makes Sam Brownback tick. Join Nick Haines for this special newsmaker edition of Kansas City Week in Review.

Thanks for watching Kansas City Week in Review.
A new airport????? You people in KC, Mo must be out of your minds! We have the best airport in the country!!!!!!!!!!! Where else can you get out of your car at the curb and walk less than 100 yds and get on your plane. Where else can you see your plane from the curb where your car is? Where else can you get on the blue bus to go to the parking lot, the red bus to go to another terminal and the spotted bus to go to the long-term parking lot. This idea of a new one-building airport is just nuts as far as I'm concerned. I have severe arthritis and a really bad foot and the less I have to walk the better. When I go to all the other airports in the country I have to pay somebody to push me to my next gate or the baggage claim area in a wheel chair. I can easily walk through this airport. And as far as I know KC, Mo. is all but out of money. They can't even fix their school system. This idea of a new airport is about as smart as a rapid transit train here!!!!!!!! Wake up folks. Glad I don't live in Mo.

Think about this. If you buy 2 gallons of premium from a pump where multiple grades share one hose, you are getting 1 gallon of premium and 1 gallon of regular. Based on this, I think I would be better off buying 2 gallons of the non-alcohol 90 octane from a one-grade, one-hose pump. I do know of a station that has multigrade pump where each of the 3 grades has its own hose, so that is another alternative.
Somebody check my math:Assume the hose is .5" ID and 8' long. That's (.25^2*3.1416*96) cubic inches of volume = 18 cubic inches or 0.01 cubic feet or roughly .08 gallon. Does seem to match what Taildragger said.
You may get some mixed but i doubt that its a gallon. I drain the hose and its no where near a gallon.

At the Town of Waukesha Board meeting Thursday night, it was also revealed that Supervisor Everett German and Supervisor Brian Fischer held a meeting with City of Waukesha officials without other board members' knowledge.
The meeting came after the Town voted unanimously at a Jan. 24 board meeting to include a northern portion of the town in the city's service area in its application for Lake Michigan water.
The Town's decision also included a volume of water "in the amount of not less than 0.55 millions of gallons per day to be allocated for the Town."
Then on Tuesday, City Administrator Ed Henschel sent a letter to the Town saying "after discussing this matter with the DNR, the DNR believes the Town's motion is flawed."
And in his letter, Henschel says "the volume of water cited by the Town is inappropriate and excessive for the amount of land included."
German said the water service area was not discussed at his meeting.
"So you talked about donuts or did you talk about the water service area?" Supervisor Joe Banske said. "Who are you sir that I, as a supervisor, am not entitled? Who are you, to these residents in this audience, that they are not entitled to know exactly who was at a meeting that effects the Town of Waukesha."
"It's none of your business," said German, who indicated Banske and the other board members would find out when he writes up a report. "You're theatrics are superb. I'm not answering anymore of your questions."
"Because you're lying through your teeth," Banske said.
German then denied it again. "I'm not lying through my teeth," German said.
"Mr. German no one is going to believe that," Town of Waukesha Chairwoman Angie E. Van Scyoc said.
However, Banske, who pressed German to reveal information on what was discussed and who was present at this "secret" meeting, asked that the Town attorney look into sanctions to be put on the two supervisors "for withholding information from the board."
"Try telling the truth," Van Scyoc told German. "We don't have a reason to wait. Who did you meet with?"
German finally revealed Water Utility General Manager Dan Duchniak and Henschel were at this meeting and that he wanted to know how many times Van Scyoc and Banske had met with them without the board's knowledge. He said it was on four occasions.
Van Scyoc said the two times they met with city officials they always brought back a report and that it was not a secret.
"I don't feel I'm getting the proper information back to me," German said on why he met with city officials. "(The) decision the board made (on the water) was never discussed."
"I can hardly believe it," Van Scyoc said to German. "And before we left (for the city) we got your permission in one of those closed sessions that you didn't want to come to. So you have always known. Nothing has ever been secret."
Van Scyoc again questioned German.
"So you meet with the water utility (general manager) and the city administrator a week after we make a vote on the water service area," Van Scyoc said. "You go there and the water service was never (discussed)?"
At one point, German's wife, from the audience, proclaimed "point of order" and Van Scyoc told her that the board is having a discussion, not to make any more statements or she would be removed from the meeting.
"There was no problem when I communicated with (the city) after the decision," Van Scyoc said. "Any concern has happened since your meeting. It's a pretty direct parallel."
"Not true," German said.
"Those facts are true," Van Scyoc said. "You're disingenuous way of dealing with us is really disturbing. You know the difficulty in all of this, despite all of the distractions, we've done a good job of protecting the taxpayers of the Town of Waukesha and your antics have really gotten us into hot water.
"But this is the biggest one. The rest we were able to get ourselves out of.
"I'm not sure we're going to correct the damage on this one."
Van Scyoc added "we made a good decision on Jan. 24. I continue to stand by it. I feel we have binding agreement."
After many minutes of arguing about German's meeting, the board decided to send a letter to the DNR reaffirming the Town's service map and that the commitments are maintained.
Fischer, who was on vacation, was not at the meeting.

A tragic nautical smashup like December's Sydney-Hobart Race, in which six sailors died and 55 were rescued from horrendous, chaotic seas, serves as a mirror in which we can review our own practices. To echo a sentiment voiced at the memorial service in Hobart, our best tribute to those six men lies in learning from the circumstances of their loss. I write this a week after the Boxing Day storm, and can look at the disaster through experiences in equally rough situations, including the 1979 Fastnet Race. Here are some thoughts.
The loudest outcry in the broad media, always looking for a solitary villain to blame, was whether the race should have been canceled when the storm hit on the second day. Of course that's silly and irrelevant. Unlike golfers and baseball players, long-distance sailors can't retreat into a clubhouse or dugout when lightning flashes and the wind howls.
Yet it is debatable whether the Sydney-Hobart's start should have been postponed. The satellite images for the day before and day of the start, available over the Internet, showed the mother of all low-pressure systems lumbering toward the race course. Reportedly, pre-race weather forecasts spoke of winds up to 55 knots. That's far more than a capful of breeze, even by the standards of Australians used to being sometimes blasted by fast-moving, comma-shaped cells they call "Southerly Busters" running against 3-knot south-flowing currents. This Buster looked unusually vicious, and so a good argument could be made for the organizers' postponing the start, even of a Sydney-Hobart.
A good argument for postponing--but neither a popular nor a successful one. Very rarely are ocean races pushed back or canceled. When the Cruising Club of America postponed the start of a Newport to Bermuda Race several years ago, they got little but grief from the competitors. The rationale for carrying on is that crews should make their own reasoned decisions whether to head out there.
As a principle, this makes solid sense because nobody knows a boat's and crew's capabilities better than its captain, who, ideally, will accept the responsibility to make the tough decision not to compete. But ideals rarely become practice. Other forces besides cold reason often come into play. Even if a depression the width of the Tasman Sea is bearing down on you, when you're out in a harbor on a warm summer afternoon after months of preparation, surrounded by waving spectators and reminders of a generous corporate sponsor, and when you're about to start a large race to a distant port where families and vacations are waiting impatiently for your arrival in short, in the midst of so much good cheer, the prospect of nighttime gale- force winds and 40-foot breaking seas will seem remote, if not impossible. A race has its own emotional momentum that wins over the most cautious minds.
|"Every sailor, like a skier looking at a black diamond trail marker, should be able to identify the conditions in which she or he is comfortable, look at a weather map and be prepared to say 'this much and no more.' And a race committee should be willing to make the same determination in the name of the fleet. But translating those "shoulds" into practice--there's the rub."
All the same, let's review the ideal, for it is a worthy one. The key issue for cruisers and racers alike is that they must avoid imposing a human timetable on an activity that is wholly dependent on nature's uncontrollable one. Over the years, I have developed a "formula for disaster" consisting of seven factors that usually are at play when boats get into serious trouble. Number one on this list is the ill-considered departure due to a personal obligation ashore. Almost every fatal sailing accident I know about occurs when a crew for one reason or another (an appointment on shore, a plane schedule, a race start) ignores the the forecast and sails boldly into terrible weather.
Every sailor, like a skier looking at a black diamond trail marker, should be able to identify the conditions in which she or he is comfortable, look at a weather map and be prepared to say "this much and no more." And a race committee should be willing to make the same determination in the name of the fleet. But translating those "shoulds" into practice--there's the rub.
The controversy over the Sydney-Hobart's management has distracted many people from other important issues. One involves boats. We all hear that modern high-tech, light-displacement racing boats designed for protected waters aren't up to bad deep-water conditions. That's true enough. Still, half the fatalities in the Sydney-Hobart were sailors in Winston Churchill, a half-century-old wooden boat that opened up and sank. Just because those new boats probably don't belong out in the ocean, it doesn't necessarily mean that an old one will be safe there.
One sailor drowned after he was caught under his capsized boat and was unable to unclip his safety harness and swim clear. Don't take this as evidence that harnesses are dangerous. A sailor's best friend is a strong safety harness with a short tether clipped with a strong, locked shackle to a through-bolted piece of gear (not the lifelines). On the tether of my harness (which is integrated with an inflatable PFD) there's a stainless steel snap shackle--the kind you'd use for a spinnaker sheet--with a 4-inch lanyard rove through plastic beads that make the lanyard easy to locate and pull. Trip the lanyard and the shackle will open easily, even when the tether is under load.
Obviously, this is hardly the end of the discussion. We now await the report of the official study of the race. Almost 20 years ago the official report on the 1979 Fastnet Race provided dozens of findings that led to greatly improved seamanship and equipment. The forthcoming report by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia surely will provide many more insights. I predict that one of them will be that in conditions like those we had in Fastnet and others had in the Sydney-Hobart, nobody is perfectly protected. We will read of talented crews in good boats that did all the right things and still got into trouble. Such is the nastiness of such storms.
John Rousmaniere has sailed over 30,000 miles. His books includeFastnet, Force 10, about the 1979 Fastnet Race, in which he sailed and in which 15 sailors died. He also wrote The Annapolis Book of Seamanship (to be published in a new third edition this year) and, most recently, The Illustrated Dictionary of Boating Terms

Robin van Persie thinks technology should be used for offside decisions in football but admits it would be very difficult to implement.
The Premier League have revealed that goal-line technology could be introduced as early as next season but the Dutchman had a different idea when quizzed by Arsenal Members on Thursday.
"[I would have technology] for the offside rule but I'm not sure what," he said. "Because it's ruled by a human and humans do make mistakes.
"Sometimes you are lucky and sometimes you are not. I remember scoring a goal against Chelsea when I was one metre offside but last season I had two goals disallowed that were onside.
"In the end, I think it will be 50/50 with your luck and you have to deal with that."
But the Dutch forward also agreed with the more conventional idea of how technology could improve the game.
"I would like to add a camera on the goal-line," he said. "I think it would be a good idea to have a Hawk-eye, like in tennis. Every team should have one option in each half to use the Hawk-eye to see if the ball is over the line or not.
"Frank Lampard had a goal disallowed at the World Cup that was at a very crucial point. It was clearly a goal and when things like that happen, it's very frustrating."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|disconnected the alt. an ran stand alone 12v wire to batt terminal. nothin. had a god gm module i had tested . i had them test it close to 20 times to get it supa dupa hot to se if there was thermal break down. also tested coil . it tested good. im at complete odds . only thing i havent checked is to see if i have a groundd wire on the starter. but like i said i havent popped one fuse either so i dnt know how i could have a dead short an no burnt fuses. should i also disconnect the two wire harness from the alt too an try starting it? could all these symptoms now point to just going new plugs cap.rotor wires? i mean all that stuff is fresh an was working 6 days ago. i havent tested the cap to see if theresbreaks in the contacts but ive ohmd the wires an they test good. ugh i dnt know boys its getting sticky
|im charging the battery this second. but i started disconnecting the alt an dizzy. which is where im starting . im jumping from battery to batt terminal hei then ive doscoonected the alt power lead . but before i try starting it ive found one funky thing. with key off the alt wire reads battery voltage ( normal) . power wire to hei has no voltage but set to ohms an i get a weak ohms reading from the lead to ground. hmmmmmm but i get battery voltage withkey on on hei wire. no burnt fuses? rediculous. must be why they used inline ones from factory.

|is there any identifiable markings on the oem fusiable links to know there amp rating ? or are they all the same
yes sir that sounds like a good plan. do you think its odd that it hasnt blown any fuses ? eitherway ill be stringing her out tomorrow an we will see.
thanks for the help so far guys .
you can pick up one of those oem fusible links at pick n pull for cheap. they are better than an inline fuse because they burn a little slower plus they take a little more power through them for their size. and they look like they are supposed to be there.
check there first, but if it was me, i would disconnect everything. the alt and the dizzy, tape over anything that is hot, and jumper the dizzy from a direct battery feed. just to see if it runs. set up the timing etc so when you get things right, or are just trying to figure it out, you will know when you crank it that if things are right it will for sure start. then i would trouble shoot the other stuff.
|oh good input . nice thankyou . oh an about that fusible link. before i started driving the truck it had a lil rat nest of wires from cruise control an ac. well i bundled it all up an shunted them then taped them into the harness. i couldnt find anything on the diagrahm in the chilton about a fusible link. i actually removed it from the fire wall an butted those wires together to again clean up under the hood. i know right where i did it an can get at the harness. i may need to pull all that back an add a inline fuse maybe . i bet my wires melted together right there . alt. tested good at auto zone. an running optima red 880 cca
|maybe when you shorted the alt you fried some diodes inside the alt. try disconnecting the alt and run on just battery power. once you get the dizzy all good,make sure you have a good battery, jumper the dizzy power supply over to the battery, and try starting it up. that would take all the other wiring out of the equation and run on a stand alone system. then, once you confirm that it actually runs all by itself, start hooking up other stuff and see what the problem is by a process of elimination. you should be able to take the alt in for testing at a napa store or something like that, just to eliminate that as a problem. then test the power wire from the alt to make sure it isn't going to a ground or something. also, on the firewall is there a fusible link? looks like a junction block but has 2 terminals and maybe 3 wires? check to make sure the fusible link part didn't blow. it looks like a strip of flat metal that connects the 2 terminals. one wire goes to the alt and the other wire feeds the fuse box inside the cab, i think. worth a look anyway. good luck
|. yeah i pulled the dizzy to do the intake . i had already had it out once when i was running new vacuum fittings ect. but ive checked my tdc. i pulled number one spark plug used a peice of hose because i didnt have a helper an cranked her over untill it was blowing air in my face . i had reference marks on the housing an the cap an put it back right where i had it. well from the block an head numbers its a pre 81 2 bolt 350. it was definitely a points engine but when it was transferred into my 85 i want to assume it was an hei truck . so they dropped the hei back in it which is how i bought it . i need to check maybe if i fried a wire . but theres no idication of thar since . it didnt once blow a fuse or smell hot . what ever it is frying or shorting is discharging directly at the hei. i tested the new coil . its fried too. no omhs at batt terminal to carbon contact. but i do have less than an ohm from batt to tach terminal. . i want to say that maybe when i arced out the alt on the frame i super heated the power lead from the alt. an may have glued it directly to a ignition wire . so its getting unregulated constant voltage as soon as i hook the battery up . ill see though thats my next move 12v from battery to dizzy.though ill probably still pull back some of the harness a take a look . maybe back probe the fuse block an see if a wire is energizing the circuit when just the battery is hooked up with ignition off
so, I am assuming you pulled the distributor when you resealed the intake, correct? are you sure you have the distributor in the correct way and set up so it is close enough to start?maybe theinitial timing is out of whack enough so it pops and farts or maybe the distributor is 1/2 a turn out. like it would be trying to fire #6 instead of #1? did you turn the engine over when the distibutor was out? are you sure it is put back in correctly? to check, put the vibe damper on the zero mark and then check if your rotor is pointing to number one spark plug wire or the number 6 spark plug wire. then if that is good, make sure your corresponding cylinder(either 1 or 6) is actually on the firing stroke not an intake stroke. was this vehicle set up for an hei distributor from factory or was it a points style originally and then converted? if a conversion, try just running a hot jumper wire directly from the battery to the "power in" connector at the distributor and then try starting it. disconnect the original wire, tape it up so it won't possibly short on anything, and just remember that you will have to pull the jumper wire off to stop the engine. if it starts and runs then the problem is in the ignition feed circuit.
good luck and keep us posted.

It does, in fact, look like multiple layers of halftones to produce the effect. I don't think it's all that hard to do, just do the blending using opacity to get the colors you want, then halftone them. you probably have to play with angles, but it should be no different than the 4-color newsprint process.

Have a blast and stay safe with these ideas for swimming, biking and moreMore
Hello, summer! To make the most of it, flip through for our best advice from over the years for every sunshiny-day activity, from backyard cookouts to fun getaways.
1 | Simplify the menu. Try to make everything ahead so you have only one last-minute food to prepare, in addition to grilling. July 1991
2 | Charcoal is ready for cooking when it's covered with white ash. September 1979
3 | Space food evenly on the grill and two to three fingers' width apart. About a quarter of the grill should be left empty, so you have room to move food away from any flare-ups. June 2011
4 | Find and remove all standing water. A few flowerpot saucers can produce enough mosquitoes for the whole neighborhood. July 2010
5 | Barbecued foods are messy; balancing plates and glasses is hard. Make sure every guest has a seat at a table. July 1991
6 | Figure a little more than a pound of meat for four average-size burgers. Shape patties up to one day ahead, refrigerate with wax paper between each layer, and cover completely with foil or plastic wrap. July 1985
7 | Wait until the last 10% of grilling time to slather on glazes. If applied too early, they'll turn your food into a charred mess. June 2011
8 | A hinged wire grill basket makes turning fish steaks and fillets easy. It's also great for sliced veggies, onions and mushrooms. August 1988
9 | Though it may be tempting, don't press down on meat while it's on the grill. Flattening food with a spatula causes the delicious juices to run out. June 2011
10 | Be sure to stock up on iced tea, beer, soda and chilled white wine. June 1964
11 | Soak a paper towel with olive or vegetable oil, grasp it between a pair of tongs and lightly lubricate the grill surface. No sticking! June 2011
12 | If you're eating late in the day, bugs will probably be joining you, so have plenty of citronella candles and bug repellents on hand. July 1991
13 | Have a backup plan in case of bad weather. If you live in a rainy area, consider investing in a shade canopy to protect food while guests run inside. July 2011
14 | Place your grill in a protected area so gusts of wind won't smother your party in smoke. July 1984
15 | To butter corn on the cob quickly and evenly, spread butter thickly on a piece of bread and roll the hot cob in it. July 1965

People tear into this bread like French schoolchildren, ripping off a hunk and eating it as soon as they get it out of the bag. But hold on. It's best when you pop it in the oven for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Your entire kitchen will be filled with the sensuous smells of warm chocolate and good bread. Word of warning: the smell attracts visitors. Recipe tip: it's great topped with fresh cream cheese.
"Seriously, the best I've ever had. I found myself having four pieces of toast today for breakfast. Made the first two and then went back and cut two more slices. I'll be placing mail orders soon! The Bay Area should be ordering their sourdough from you, and I'm sure some already do."
Ryan from Cleveland, OH
"Our tasters were surprised by how fresh the bread tastes and by the lovely melted chocolate bits inside."
Roseanne Pereira, NPR.ORG
"One of my favorite indulgences is Zingerman's Chocolate Sourdough Bread. Though it sounds unusual, chunks of bittersweet chocolate and the piquant tang of sourdough are a brave and satisfying combination."
Lora Zarubin, House & Garden

Aliens. I'd blame the aliens. :-D a swarm will land in the same location as an earlier swarm because of all the swarm scent left there.
The Code requires beekeepers to:manage colonies to prevent or minimise swarmingcapture swarms that have left a colony they ownprovide water on the property where the bees are located if they don't have access to water
maintain colonies located in urban areas with young docile queens
store used hive components not housing bees in such a way that bees cannot gain entry to itprevent or minimise activities of robber beesobserve hive density limits for properties in urban areas
ensure bee flight paths don't interfere with neighbouring landplace hives greater than 3 metres from a property boundary fence. This does not apply if a bee proof barrier, not less than 2 metres high, is situated on the boundary fence line adjacent to the hives. a bee proof barrier is not required where the adjoining property to that fence is unimproved land.
i went over and looked from his backyard...the bees do fly straight over my 3m trees, but then they fly straight down into his yard.
Good luck with the hive relocation. Don't forget to either move them bit by bit or move at night and cover the entrance with twigs, branches or the like.
