I got this toy in my order free as part of a promotion. The remote was comfortable to hold and the button just the right size for operation. It does have very concentrated intense vibrations, however I don't think those are for me. I tried it with and without the little dolphin extension, but I found the dolphin doesn't distribute the vibrations enough.
The best thing about this toy is the fact it does make noises similar to that of a dolphin when you have it on, I don't know if that's on purpose but it had me laughing.
I have been buying these Neptune Ring Vibes from Good Vibrations since at least 1998. They are like the rabbit part of rabbit vibe dildo vibrators. The vibrations are concentrated in the nose of the dolphin, and give the perfect sensation to someone who likes focused intense attention esp on the clit.
The ring part is very stretchy: I can put it on my own finger, on a vibrator or dildo, or a real dick. I love that my fingers don't go numb from vibrations when I hold the ring part, unlike a lot of other small bullet vibes, so I can concentrate on the good parts.
I also love that the bullet can be removed to properly clean the jelly part.
These aren't toys that will last forever, but I have found they'll last several years of almost-daily use. That they take regular batteries is a super plus, as you can use AA rechargeables, and always have more at hand for peak vibration. I also like that the batteries are NOT in the vibe, as it is less bulky, very light, and versatile to fit into tight spots during partner sex.
I'm writing this review as I am back here ordering yet two more, that I expect to last me for years to come. My fave vibes in the whole world, anywhere, and I have had quite the collection.

Storm Jibs
Thanks for all that. Much food for thought, but most importantly it all motivates me to test everything, see it working, make a plan i.e. have it all clear in my mind, know it will work and be able to tell the team. Thanks
Storm Jibs
i have had the opportunity,unfortunately, to have my storm sails up a number of times.
both sails have the sheets attached and marked in the sail bag. it is also important to mark the head tack and clew on the sail with magic marker ( both sides of the sail) the worst thing that can happen to one of these sails is to get a twist or hooked up wrong in a blow.
on passages i keep the storm staysail in a bag attached to the stay and ready to go.
we use a single line as a sheet with a simple loop at the clew of the sails.
it is also important to have dedicated cars, and blocks set up and ready to go when the stuff hits the fan.
tying knots and finding the proper lead for a sail should be done at the dock and not at sea. when the wind is really howling the sail leads wind up rubbing against the oddest things. we have leather chaffe gear that is held closed by velcro. this has come in handy a number of times. one tine the trysail sheets were rubbing on the edge of our hard top dodger. when we got into bermuda we had the sailmaker put a longer tack lead on the sail to clear the dodger. also make sure that your sails are well up the mast and stay . when you drop down in a big trough ,if the sails are low, you loose all of your drive.
also make sure that your trysail track comes almost down to the deck.
Storm Jibs
1. Most all knots shake loose, even a buntline or a constrictor can loosen when shaken severely. Bowlines are notorious for shaking loose.
2. Splices are much stronger than ANY knot, the strongest knot is probably the Carrick at 80% breaking strengh of the line. Splices approach the full breaking strength of the l ine.
3. Problem with splices is that the chafe will be solely at one single spot (dead center in middle of the eye); with knots you can adjust and retie for chafe. With knots you can keep trimming back into unchafed line. Chafe with splices can be lessened by ''taking two turns'' on the clew iron instead of a simple eye splice. ..... inother words the splice is wrapped around the clew iron a second time to distribute the load and reduce chafe.
I prefer a single sheet (double length) with the line reeved at the middle to the clew. The knot is either a clove hitch or "constrictor" --- small sized knot, adjustable (with difficulty) for chafe. The larger the D-ring or grommet in the clew, the less the chafe.
Storm Jibs
That''s a good question. I am not 100% sure that I know why sheets are normally spliced to storm jibs and I have asked myself this same question.
On one hand it seems as if it would be important to be able to clear a fouled sheet by untying it at the clew, but on the other hand, I have generally conjectured that there were a number of possible reasons that storm jib sheets are spliced onto the sail. The two most compelling reasons that I come up with is that storm jibs tend to flog extremely violently in the high winds that they are used. Having a piece of hardware or knots flogging violently would greatly increase the risk of damage if the clew of the sail hit something. The other big issue, of course, is the risk that the sheet would come undone. Getting storm sails up and down in the harsh conditions that they are used, means that it becomes all the more imperative that the sheets not come loose from the sail.
What ever you do, storm sail sheets should be securely attached and low stretch line for these critical sheets are very important as well.
Storm Jibs
Perhaps Jeff H could answer this query: He mentioned storm jibs usually have their own sheets permanently spliced to the clew. Are the reasons for this a) to avoid bitter ends from any knots thrashing about and b) to ensure instant and ready availability of sheets when needed? Or are there other reasons? I am acutely aware that we have both trysail and storm jib aboard our boat only launched 6 weeks ago - no sheets fitted -yet - but that so far we haven''t tried them out. I know I should puzzle everybody watching on a nice day soon by trying out the whole set up - and we will - we will (ie how do you effectively lash the main boom down!?). But I was not intending to have dedicated sheets on either of these sails. When we played trysails on a skippers course we did not have dedicated sheets. Are there some good reasons that have passed me by? I would appreciate some wisdom. Thanks.
Storm Jibs
i don''t believe sailing in 50 knot winds is the way to go. if you have sustained winds of 50 knots i believe you would be much better off throwing out a drogue and going below for a nap. in those winds and the 30-40 foot seas associated with those winds you suffer too much of a chance of pitch poleing down one of the waves.
i believe a storm jib and trysail or deep third reef would work to about 45 knots but most storm jibs are very hard if not impossible to tack. You also get very tired very quickly trying to sail up and down the waves. it gets close to impossible to do on a moonless night.
if you really must have a storm jib i believe the jib should be no more than 5% of the height of the foretriangle squared and maximum luff of 65 % of the height of the foretriangle. the top of the sail should be distress orange . you also need to set up some very strong tracks forward for a correct lead.
Storm Jibs
You took the words right out of my fingers about the butt kissing by christine 1007. Keep up the good work!
Storm Jibs
It wouldnt hurt to have a couple of different headsails. You can usually pick them up used for very reasonable prices.Christineb1007 please keep the b kissing private.-thomas
Storm Jibs
Thank you for making those comments on the previous poster. You took the words right out of my mouth.
Storm Jibs
Gentlemen, thank you both, well, every one of you who have responded to my post about the storm jib. I certainly don''t mean to create a discussion filled with animosity here. But, I do appreciate the comments made by each of you, and for your taking the time to try to help out a fellow with a new (to him) boat, much bigger than he''s ever had before. My searches among the used sail dealers on the web haven''t come up with much in the way of smaller headsails that would fit my boat, and I guess maybe I need to think about exactly what I want. Thanks again to each of you. I''ll respond off the website, directly via email addresses.
Fair winds to each of you,

That was my thought too. Being an astronomer, this actually bothers me a lot, plus, it's not considered an "alignment" when you're only considering 2 objects. Given any 2 objects, they will always be "aligned" relative to some perspective...

Hats off. It's a sign of true talent to create such a lovely story in such a small number of words.
my first thought was "looks like something they'd sell at Walmart next to a shirt of wolves howling at the moon"...
one of the worst shirt.woots ever...
Will this be as attention grabbing as my Three Wolf Moon T-shirt
Okay. This design is beautiful, and I really like how the artist made the moon actually look bright.
this is a fantastic work of art for a wall, a computer monitor background, a phone wallpaper, or something like that.
But on a T-shirt, all I can think of is this.
Read the review if you haven't already.
No offense. Just sayin'
I've been looking at these woot shirts for the last three years and this is the first one I've seen that's worth buying. Thankfully, there are no wolves on it.
Isn't there something in Revelations about the moon crashing into the sea? It's 2012, is all.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Western Aphasia Battery - Revised: Naming and Word Finding score [ Time Frame: Change from baseline to one day after treatment ]This is a composite measure of verbal expression skills including tests of naming, verbal fluency, and sentence completion.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Western Aphasia Battery - Revised: Spontaneous Speech, Repetition, Auditory Verbal Comprehension and overall Aphasia Quotient [ Time Frame: Immediately; 2 weeks post-treatment; 12 weeks post-treatment ]The above subtests will reflect the following: a composite measure of information content in conversational speech and picture description; a measure of word and sentence repetition; a composite measure of yes/no questions, auditory word recognition, and following sequential commands; and an overall aphasia severity score.
- Philadelphia Naming Test (PNT) [ Time Frame: Immediately; 2 weeks post-treatment; 12 weeks post-treatment ]A test of picture naming using more common items than other picture naming tests, which reduces relationships between performance and premorbid education and socioeconomic status.
- Subjective assessments including: Communicative Effectiveness Index, Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale, and Stroke Aphasic Depression Questionnaire [ Time Frame: Immediately; 2 weeks post-treatment; 12 weeks post-treatment ]A set of questionnaires to be administered to subjects and immediate family members in order to assess the impact of language impairments on functional communication skills and overall quality of life.
- Cognitive-Linguistic Quick Test (CLQT) [ Time Frame: Immediately; 2 weeks post-treatment; 12 weeks post-treatment ]The following subtests from the CLQT will be administered: Symbol Cancellation, Story Retelling, Symbol Trails, Design Memory, Mazes,and Design Generation. These scores will be used to calculate composite scores for the cognitive domains of attention, executive function, and visuospatial skills.
- Reading assessments [ Time Frame: Immediately; 2 weeks post-treatment; 12 weeks post-treatment ]A set of reading tasks designed to assess oral reading of real words and non-words at the single word level.

|Study Start Date:
|December 2012
|Study Completion Date:
|September 2015
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Active Comparator: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Device: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
The tDCS treatments will be applied bilaterally, with the anodal electrode placed on the left temple and the cathodal electrode placed on the right temple. The tDCS will be applied at the beginning of 60-minute speech-language treatment sessions for five days across a one-week period.
|Sham Comparator: Sham Stimulation
Device: Sham Stimulation
The sham tDCS will be applied at the beginning of 60-minute speech-language treatment sessions for five days across a one-week period.
Detailed Description:
This study tests whether aphasia or alexia, language and reading disorders occurring after traumatic brain injury or stroke, can be improved using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). tDCS is a non-invasive technique that applies a small amount of direct electrical current to the brain in order to temporarily alter brain processing. Adults with aphasia/alexia resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury will undergo baseline behavioral testing of various language and cognitive functions. Subjects who are willing to undergo MRI evaluation will also be scanned. They will then receive five days of either real or sham tDCS with standardized speech-language therapy, under a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled design. Behavioral assessments, and MRIs for those participating in the MRI portion of the study, will be performed again at multiple time points after completing tDCS to assess for changes in these measures.

Citizens Commission on Human Rights International
By Kelly Patricia O'Meara
July 23, 2013
Given the enormous potential for great harm, one has to wonder how the Food and Drug Administration, FDA, gets away with giving its stamp of approval on a new "brain wave test," that allegedly will "help confirm an ADHD diagnosis," when there is no scientific or medical proof that any physical abnormality exists.
In fact, the mandate of the FDA demands the opposite of its latest approval action. According to the FDA website, the federal agency is tasked with protecting "the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use and medical devices."
What part of approving a "brain waive test" for a psychiatric diagnosis that doesn't exist is "assuring the safety and effectiveness?" More to the point, since there is no proof that the alleged psychiatric diagnosis exists, how can the FDA possibly claim that any test, least of all one that consists of interpreting squiggly lines on a piece of paper, is safe or effective? Is this a case of group-think? The FDA heard, has been told, believes ADHD exists?
This kind of thinking is so two months ago. Remember it was just before the American Psychiatric Association (APA), held its annual get-together in May that the National Institute of Mental Health, NIMH, slammed the door on the APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) which includes "ADHD," stating the manual is "at best, a dictionary, creating a set of labels and defining each."
The NIMH further explained that the APA's diagnoses "are based on a consensus about clusters of clinical symptoms, not any objective laboratory measure…" and "the weakness is its lack of validity."
And the APA, itself, writes, "There are no laboratory tests, neurological assessments, or attentional assessments that have been established as diagnostic in the clinical assessment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder." Okay, seems pretty clear. The ADHD diagnosis is completely subjective and not based in science.
The FDA ignored these facts and, in what appears to be an irresponsible attempt to validate ADHD as a science-based psychiatric diagnosis, has opened the floodgates for creating more victims and the already epidemic numbers of children being diagnosed with the alleged ADHD will skyrocket.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, there has been a 41 percent increase in the diagnosis of ADHD over the past decade and one in five high school boys (11 percent of all school-age children) have received the non-scientific diagnosis.
More troubling is that based on a 100 percent subjective ADHD diagnosis, nearly 3 million American children are currently taking prescription mind-altering drugs as "treatment" that are the equivalent of cocaine, carrying serious adverse reactions.
And aside from the fact that there is zero proof that ADHD is an abnormality of the brain, the FDA's approval of the new EEG device called, "Neuropsychiatric EEG-Based Assessment Aid," the NEBA System, is suspect on a number of levels, including its blatant lack of information about the data used to decide on approval.

Did decisions by news organizations influence 2004 presidential election?
During his October 28 press conference [1] following the indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby for perjury, obstruction of justice, and false statements, special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald noted that, had witnesses testified "when the subpoenas were issued in August 2004," indictments would have come "in October 2004 instead of October 2005."
Fitzgerald's mention of subpoenas issued in August 2004 is a clear reference to New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who was subpoenaed that month but didn't testify until October 2005, after spending 85 days in jail for violating a court order instructing her to testify. In referring to "witnesses," Fitzgerald also seems to have had Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper in mind. Cooper was subpoenaed in May 2004 but was held in contempt in August 2004 and refused to testify until July 2005.
Fitzgerald's statement that the Libby indictment would have come in October 2004 had witnesses -- presumably Miller and Cooper -- testified in August 2004 didn't include one detail that would seem to be of great political, even if little legal, importance: An indictment of Libby in October 2004 could have had a determinative impact on the presidential election held just one month later. Moreover, evidence of the involvement of White House senior adviser Karl Rove in outing Plame did not come out until July 2005, after Cooper's last legal avenue for avoiding jail closed and Time released Cooper's notes [2], which included an email from Cooper to Time Washington bureau chief Michael Duffy naming Rove as Cooper's source on the Plame matter. Rove is widely credited with Bush's re-election, and indeed his entire political career; the disclosure just before the election that he outed a CIA operative would presumably have further alerted voters to serious ethical lapses in an administration that pledged to clean up the White House. It would also have reminded voters of the administration's pledge -- now altered beyond recognition [3] -- to fire anyone involved in the leak.
In effect, whether intentional or not, Miller and Cooper may have played key roles in determining the outcome of the 2004 presidential election by refusing to testify before the grand jury until after the election.
Miller and Cooper both claimed that they could not testify unless their sources waived confidentiality agreements. But both ultimately testified long after the 2004 election based on waivers that were not substantively different from waivers they possessed prior to the election.
In Cooper's case, he claimed [4] in July 2005 that he had finally agreed to testify "solely because of a waiver I received from my source." But Cooper received the purportedly new waiver only after he reached out to Rove for it, and, according to Rove's lawyer, the "waiver" was merely an affirmation of a previous waiver. The Washington Post reported [5] that Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, "has said that he merely reaffirmed the blanket waiver by Rove, who is the president's deputy chief of staff, and that the assurance would have been available at any time." Indeed, given that Cooper reached out to Rove for affirmation of the waiver in July 2005, it seems he could easily have done so in August 2004.
As for Miller, she testified only after a conversation with Libby in which Libby assured her that he had already granted her a waiver in 2004. The Washington Post reported [6] that Libby's lawyer "has said repeatedly -- and underscored in yesterday's letter -- that Libby cleared Miller to talk to Fitzgerald a year ago and that the waiver of Miller's confidentiality promise was completely voluntary."
Both Cooper and Miller, it appears, held waivers in 2004 that were substantively identical to the waivers upon which they claim they based their decision to testify in 2005.
An August 25 Los Angeles Times article appears to be the first mention in the media that Cooper's failure to reach out to Rove before the election reflected a view at Time that the magazine should avoid involvement in the issue before the election: "Cooper did not ask Rove for a waiver, in part because his lawyer advised against it. In addition, Time editors were concerned about becoming part of such an explosive story in an election year." In a "War Room" entry that same day, the online magazine Salon.com noted [7] the significance of this tidbit in the Los Angeles Times story:
Translated, as John Aravosis explains at AMERICAblog [8] today, that means that Time's editors didn't want Cooper to reveal information that could be damaging to Bush's reelections [sic] hopes until after the election was over. "It's one thing for Time to do its job and ignore the effects of its reporting and overall work on US elections," Aravosis writes. "It's quite another for Time to make decisions based on whether they'll influence US elections."
In a way, it may be even worse than that. By not seeking a waiver from Rove -- by not reporting what its reporter knew to be true -- Time allowed Americans to go the polls believing that which the magazine knew to be false.
Some columnists have now picked up on this and begun to note the possibility that the delay in Fitzgerald's investigation affected the 2004 election, including Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne, Los Angeles Times columnist Robert Scheer, and Boston Globe columnist Thomas Oliphant.
Dionne wrote in a November 1 Post column [9]:
Has anyone noticed that the coverup worked?
In his impressive presentation of the indictment of Lewis "Scooter" Libby last week, Patrick Fitzgerald expressed the wish that witnesses had testified when subpoenas were issued in August 2004, and "we would have been here in October 2004 instead of October 2005."
Note the significance of the two dates: October 2004, before President Bush was reelected, and October 2005, after the president was reelected. Those dates make clear why Libby threw sand in the eyes of prosecutors, in the special counsel's apt metaphor, and helped drag out the investigation.
As long as Bush still faced the voters, the White House wanted Americans to think that officials such as Libby, Karl Rove and Vice President Cheney had nothing to do with the leak campaign to discredit its arch-critic on Iraq, former ambassador Joseph Wilson.
And Libby, the good soldier, pursued a brilliant strategy to slow the inquiry down. As long as he was claiming that journalists were responsible for spreading around the name and past CIA employment of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, Libby knew that at least some news organizations would resist having reporters testify. The journalistic "shield" was converted into a shield for the Bush administration's coverup.
Scheer added in his November 1 Times column [10]:
The most intriguing revelation of Special Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald's news conference last week was his assertion that he would have presented his indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby a year ago if not for the intransigence of reporters who refused to testify before the grand jury. He said that without that delay, "we would have been here in October 2004 instead of October 2005."
Had that been the case, John Kerry probably would be president of the United States today.
Surely a sufficient number of swing voters in the very tight race would have been outraged to learn weeks before the 2004 election that, according to this indictment, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff -- a key member of the White House team that made the fraudulent case for invading Iraq -- "did knowingly and corruptly endeavor to influence, obstruct and impede the due administration of justice."
Globe columnist Oliphant wrote [11] on November 1:
No one really noticed, but Patrick Fitzgerald made an unassailable point last week about the timing of the indictment that his CIA leak investigation has produced so far.
''I would have wanted nothing better," he said, ''that when the subpoenas were issued in August of 2004, witnesses testified then, and we would have been here in October of 2004 instead of October of 2005."
Give or take a nuance and some garbled syntax, the prosecutor was in effect showing that the quixotic pursuit of a nonexistent right or privilege by some news organizations is one reason President Bush was reelected last year.
Also citing the Los Angeles Times story and the Salon.com analysis, Media Matters for America noted [12] that, intentionally or not, Cooper and Time essentially took sides in the 2004 election by actively misleading readers by "reporting" without contradiction the White House's denials of Rove's involvement in the Plame leak -- denials that Cooper knew to be untrue:
Time magazine published an article co-written by Washington bureau chief Michael Duffy and reporter Matt Cooper in October 2003 that strongly suggested that Karl Rove had nothing to do with outing Valerie Plame, and quoted White House press secretary Scott McClellan flatly denying Rove's involvement.
There was only one problem: Cooper and Duffy knew that was false. They knew that Karl Rove was involved; knew that the article they co-wrote misled readers and presented without contradiction a McClellan quote they knew to be inaccurate. They knew this because Cooper himself learned from Karl Rove in July 2003 that Plame worked for the CIA.
While Time did everything they could to protect Karl Rove, the magazine did nothing to protect its readers; instead, it actively misled them. Defenders of Cooper and New York Times reporter Judith Miller frequently talk of the duty a reporter has to protect his or her sources, but shouldn't protecting their readers -- by not penning articles they know to be misleading -- be their first priority?
And yet, according to the Los Angeles Times, Time didn't seek a waiver from Rove allowing Cooper to testify to the grand jury, in part, because "Time editors were concerned about becoming part of such an explosive story in an election year." But Time was part of the story -- and they took sides in it. By choosing to protect Rove, and by extension Bush, and by choosing to mislead readers in order to do so, Time took sides. Intentionally or not, the magazine took Bush's side in the election; it took Rove's side over its readers' -- and it took the side of lies and deception over truth.
But Cooper and Miller weren't the only journalists whose silence about a matter relating to pre-war intelligence may have helped shape the outcome of the 2004 presidential election.
In September 2004, CBS News abruptly cancelled plans to air a prepared segment questioning one of the Bush administration's primary rationales for the Iraq war. As CJR Daily explained at the time [13]:
A CBS spokeswoman said only that "it would be inappropriate to air the report so close to the election."
Campaign Desk is confused by the word "inappropriate" here. The story in question apparently details how the administration relied on false documents (there's that word "documents" again) when it said that Iraq had tried to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger last year. Either the report is thoroughly researched and holds up -- or not. If it doesn't, kill it; if it does, air it.
Noting the network's statement that it spiked the story because it was "so close to the election," San Diego Union-Tribune columnist Robert Lawrence wrote in an October 1, 2004, column [14]:
Well, that's odd. In most journalism schools, the professors teach you that a potentially major story that could have impact on an election should be published as soon as it's confirmed, so the voters can take it into account, think it over and make their decisions. Otherwise, what's the point of publishing or broadcasting it at all?
As reported in The New York Times and on the Newsweek Web site, CBS was ready to say that President Bush was relying on false documents when he told the world that Iraq tried to buy uranium from Niger and used the claim as one of his reasons for launching the war.
Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) has reported [15] that, in October 2004, The New York Times killed a planned article about the mysterious "bulge" underneath President Bush's jacket during a presidential debate. According to FAIR, a "Times journalist ... claims the senior editors felt Thursday [October 28, 2004] was 'too close' to the election to run such a piece."

iam joining on a team and i really want to make a play where we double stack the back center right off the break.
i just want know if double stacking works great, and how we will do this, for exemple:
Who will stack with the back center? Corner guy? Front guy?
After lanning, when it is time to bump? bump to where? insert bunkers or right to the corner ( if its the corner guy ) or right to d1/s1 ( if its front guy ) ?
Running and gunning? Or it is too risky? Iam thinking if it worth to, since if we didnt get a G off the break, they will already have somebody on S1/D1 and my team dont, so they already have best field advantage, what do you think?
Thanks in advance!

From photos to simple text messages, this app is great for sharing all sorts of news and information in a hassle-free way. Additionally, there is no need to scramble for usernames to add to your contacts list, since Viber automatically recognizes current app users from within your existing phone book. What I absolutely love about this app is its extremely user-friendly interface. There really is nothing complex about navigating through the different menus of the app, and when you want to make a call or send a text, simply click on a contact's name and type or talk away. Yes, it's that easy!
Aside from eliminating the need for sending out invites or collecting usernames, Viber allows its users to personalize their accounts by adding a miniature profile picture next to their name. Whenever a call is placed or a text message is sent out, fellow users will be able to see their friend's image throughout the conversation.

I have used this feature to send mass texts to my bridal party and keep them all on the same page for wedding plans! Overall, it's a great way to keep everyone in the loop all at once instead of having to send out multiple texts to each individual person.
Best of all, Viber works on a number of smartphone devices. So, if you have an iPhone and your sister in Canada has an Android, you can still enjoy the benefits of connecting with this useful app.

Established in 1960 in South Korea, Kumho is in the top ten tire manufacturers in the world, and their products are fitted as original equipment on Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, and Smart Car models. In addition to offering state-of-the-art passenger vehicle tires, Kumho specializes in race track, high-performance, and heavy truck applications (Kumhos are fitted as OEM equipment on Mercedes-Benz commercial trucks and Sprinter vans.) We offer a wide variety of Kumhos created for all climates, vehicles, and driving needs.
Kumho won the Tire Manufacturing & Design Innovation of the Year Award at the Tire Technology Expo for perfecting a process of laser-cutting tire tread patterns, which has allowed their engineers to improve every style of their tires. This refined laser etching system makes possible innovative dual-layered tread patterns that provide more effective grip and noise reduction and permits sidewall designs to be shaped more aerodynamically for lower rolling resistance.

If you need tires for ultra-high performance, Kumho has a wide selection of summer performance tires, pure track racing tires, and all-weather tires designed to enhance the performance of any sport sedan, GT coupe, or compact. And if you need tires for your Ford Super Duty F-450, heavy truck, or van, Kumho offers over a dozen choices in their impressive line-up of heavy commercial radial tires. Their selection lets you further choose tires customized for paved highway driving, poor roads, or no-pavement conditions. Higher- and lower-profile sidewall choices with or without wide bases are available as well.
CARiD's web site has been set up to automatically guide you in the tire buying process for your vehicle whether you're looking for same-size replacement tires or considering upgrading tires and rims to a larger size. To find Kumho tires available for your specific vehicle, select your make, model, and year. You'll notice a range of sizes appear on the left (anywhere from 13 inches to 26 inches in diameter for example). When you're ready, choose your current size or browse from other diameter sizes that will typically fit on your vehicle. Next, you have the option of narrowing down your search further with preferences of all-season, summer, or winter tread designs. Then, you can choose between tires with tread designs optimized for types of driving: performance, all-terrain, or economy.
The '90s have been the runway for a takeoff into the 21st century. Kumho is refreshing its corporate culture today to cope with the ever-changing business environment in the world under the WTO regime and take its place on the global forefront. In 2010, Kumho Tire celebrated its 50th year anniversary.


text: Yeah, he sucks. But not as bad as I suck in math, apparently. I should have said at that rate he would get 92 (not 96). Or better yet, I should have said: 23 first quarter points x4 and factoring in probability x fatigue divided by the Darth almost always screws up factor because certain people on the forum always pounce on it + 3 because Lebron's a jerk + another 2 because Jammertime is almost as bad - 18 sprocket points = 51. Damn, I always forget to use that formula. But I was close anyhow as 49 more would have given him 100.

THIS WEEK: Friday, October 12th 2012 @ 7:30 pm
(Rebroadcast Sunday @ 11 am )
5 YEARS OF SPRINT CENTER: Five years ago this week, Sprint Center opened. There were lots of concerns expressed on this program that no one would ever be able to find a parking spot, people would shoot out all the windows and it could never survive without an anchor tenant. 5 years on, what's the verdict?
SPRINT GOES SOFT?: The Wall Street Journal reports that Japan's third largest wireless carrier, SoftBank, is in advanced talks to buy KC's largest private employer, Sprint.
UPDATE AKIN/MCCASKILL: Republican U-S Senate candidate Todd Akin says his campaign has now passed the $1 million dollar mark in on-line fundraising and with less than a month to go before election day there's reports that the National Republican Senatorial Committee may be ready to get back in the race. Plus, we truth check the candidates latest political ads.
CIGARETTE TAX: Many voters may not be aware that there are a slew of ballot questions they are being asked to consider this November in Missouri. Among them, a massive increase in the state's lowest in the nation tobacco tax. The initiative would raise the state tax on a pack of cigarettes from 17 cents to 90 cents. The proposal is projected to generate up to $423 million annually. But where would the money go?
HEALTHCARE QUESTION: As President Obama and Mitt Romney battled one another over healthcare last week in the first presidential debate, you may not be aware that if you live in Missouri, you will be deciding the issue of healthcare on the ballot this November. If approved by YOU, Proposition E would block the governor or any Missouri agency from creating a state health exchange without approval from voters or the legislature. What's the purpose of this?
GOP SENATORS ENDORSE DEMS IN KANSAS: In an unusual move in Johnson County politics, two longtime Republican political leaders are endorsing Democrats in the November general election to the state Senate. What's the significance if any of the trend?
CHIEFS: Did KC get a national black-eye this week when every TV network chose to cover Chief's player Eric Winston's rant against KC fans? Like it or not, it was the story that brought more coast to coast attention to our metro than any other this week.

After an up-and-down first half, Pitt was able to clamp down and come up with a dominant second half. It all resulted with a 78-53 win over Lehigh on Tuesday night
Individually speaking, it was a 20-20 performance for Pitt as Talib Zanna finished with 21 points for the Panthers and Travon Woodall added 23.
"Good win against a good team; I liked how we did it, seventeen assists, seven turnovers and outrebounded," head coach Jamie Dixon said. "We guarded well. We wanted to hold them below 40 percent, and we did that."
Pitt led by as many as seven in the first half, before Lehigh rebounded with a 9-1run to go up 14-13, approaching the halfway point of the first half.
The only offense Pitt could generate came at the hands of Zanna, who converted 3-4 free throws, a pair of long range jumpers, and a putback. Woodall was being defended very well by Lehigh's C.J. McCollum. Woodall scored 7 of his 9 first half points in the final 6:18 of the half. It all started with a straight up drive to the hoop, aided by a screen set up by Zanna. Before that, though, players felt the increased defensive effort provided the spark.
"The guys really locked in with the defensive effort we needed," Woodall added. "Guys picked it up."
Freshman Steven Adams finished off a feed from Woodall for an easy layup, at the buzzer. Pitt led 35-30 despite just shooting 42 percent in the first half, as well as a 1-6 performance from three-point range.
Pitt was getting its looks in the first half, just not converting them. Once Woodall got going with that first drive, things picked up for the Panthers offensively.
When the second half started, Zanna and Woodall continued. Zanna scored Pitt's first seven points of the half--including a three-pointer. Pitt took its largest lead of the game, at 44-35, thanks to a basket from Woodall.
When Woodall added a three-pointer at the 15:35 mark of the second half, Pitt went up 49-35; a 19-5 run to start the second half.
Woodall added another a minute and a half later to put Pitt up 52-37. On the next possession, he fed Zanna inside for an easy layup. Pitt led 54-37 with 13:49 left.
The Panthers also got a nice lift from redshirt freshman Durand Johnson, who came off the bench with nine points. Johnson started the second half, filling in for starter Lamar Patterson, who picked up three fouls in the first half. Johnson played the first 12 minutes of the second half, finishing with a total of 17 minutes.
"Durand played very well," Dixon said. "The biggest thing is letting things come to him offensively. Two assists, no turnovers. He didn't force things. That's the thing we've tried to instill in him. He just needs to play off that, and he did. Then, he came up with the seven rebounds."
After the sub-par shooting performance in the second half, Pitt shot 53 percent in the second half.
Lehigh's McCollum led his team with 17 points. Though he picked up a couple baskets in the second half, he credited Pitt's help defense with keeping him in check.
"I thought they did a pretty good job limiting my touches," McCollum said. "I got up 11 shots, but great job on the help defense."

Learning never stops at The Keystone Center
November 15, 2012
At the Keystone Center, societal issues are not viewed as problems, but challenges to overcome. A nonprofit organization headquartered in Keystone, the center focuses on bringing people together to discuss important national and local issues.
The Keystone Dialogues identify timely policy issues and then bring in a panel of stakeholders and experts for discussion. The goal of the dialogues is to build a consensus among the participants in a non-confrontational and informative manner. The issues to be discussed come from the national government, the state government or groups of concerned or interested parties. Occasionally, the center itself identifies an important topic, and works to contact those involved.
Though many of the dialogues revolve around highly technical discussions and are closed to the public, the center also puts on public engagement nights, in which anyone is invited to attend and listen to the discussion at hand.
"We're proud of the results-oriented, problem-solving approaches we can bring to big societal issues," said Robyn Brewer, director of marketing communications at the Keystone Center. "Our goal is to shift the focus from oppositional approaches to shared decision-making processes."
In addition to the policy work, the center offers many other services, particularly those dedicated to facilitating discussion. Its facilitation and mediation service was utilized in the early stages of Breckenridge's Peak 6 discussions, for example. It also assists companies in forming advisory boards, offers leadership training and development courses and provides joint fact-finding services to stakeholders.
Education also plays an important role at the Keystone Center, which founded the Keystone Science School. The school offers camp programs during the summer, varying from daylong to weeklong schedules for both young children and teenagers.
"We believe every child deserves camp," the Keystone Science School website states. "We bring in the added element of outdoor education, combining science, adventure and fun to create life-changing experiences for every child we serve."
Throughout the year, school programs give students the opportunity to learn more about the environment, and methods of scientific inquiry. The goal is to teach students to develop critical thinking skills in a natural outdoor setting. Various community programs offer similar experiences to adults, both guests and residents of Summit County.
Learning also never stops for teachers, and they can do so through the center's educator programs. There, teachers learn how to create unique and interesting science curricula for their students.
"We don't just regurgitate textbooks," Brewer said. "We try to focus on issues that are current or relevant."
The educator programs revolve around science, engineering, technology and math skills, with emphasis on such skills as critical thinking, teamwork and problem- solving. The trainings are free of cost to the teachers.

is it a pvp game i hear lots say its a blast
One of the top 3 games iv ever played
One of the best pvp games you will find. Too bad the developers/publishers focked up the patches and neglect the game. It's full with hackers sigh..
... all you do is PvP.......... game is fun but quite a few people lagg and the item shop is rigged for some people cause of the enchants. I would say give it a try, its a very fun game to play once in a while, but not really one you can play a long time without being bored.

Your Weekly Update In The World Of Technology
Microsoft Flexes Its Muscles
Microsoft made some huge announcements this week, both of which involved mobile devices that could be the top challengers to Apple's iOS empire.
1.) Microsoft Surface – Microsoft Surface is a PC tablet that will run Windows 8. In fact, this is the first commercial PC device that Microsoft has directly designed and sold. The tablet comes in at a measurement of 10.6″ with front and rear-facing cameras. The tablet itself is 9.3 millimeters thick and weights 1.5 lbs. One big feature of the Surface is a cover that flips to become a keyboard, as well as a built-in kickstand. Prices have yet to be released, but the Surface will come in two flavors: the more tablet-like priced Windows RT, and the higher-end ultrabook-like priced version that will come with a full version of Windows 8. We'll have even more details in future articles.
2.) Windows Phone 8 Apollo – Microsoft also announced updates to its mobile OS. These updates include a new Start Screen, a better Internet Explorer 10, and hardware upgrades such as multi-core processors and memory card support. The processors will be dual-core processors and the phones will include a microSD card expansion slot.
It's… It's…. BEAUTIFUL!
Say this with me now — the biggest. TV. In the world.
That's what Sharp is boasting now with its Sharp Aquos LED TV. It may not actually be the biggest in the world — there are some plasma screens that are larger — but the Aquos LED TV may be the biggest LED TV out there. The new TV was unveiled on Tuesday and boasts dimensions of 4 feet tall and 6 feet, 8 inches in diameter. By comparison, the average height of a basketball player in the NBA is only 6 feet, 7 inches. (Oh boy, I really want to watch sports on this thing now)
Despite its enormous size, the Aquos weighs in at only 141 pounds. On top of that it is only 5 inches thick. The price tag for this little (big) slice of entertainment heaven? Only $10,999.99. On second thought, I think I can buy NBA season tickets for less than that…

what right does the government have to say that they must?
we try to make people drive little tin cans that are sure to be death traps in an accident.
Who is the government? We are. And we don't like paying for your mistakes
should they add a tax to semi's, fire trucks, farm trucks, delivery trucks, ambulance,
my friend now drives an SUV.
The biggest problem is those people in the little cars that do not realize what it takes to stop one of those big rigs, and they hop right in front of the trucker and slams on the brakes to turn a corner.
Just because someone is a "trained professional" doesn't make them a better driver than anyone else.
they zip around me then slam on the breaks for a light when i have already calculated my stopping distance. very often i am glad i have a horse i there, because it's the only thing that keeps me from driving over top of them.
I really think people should take personal responsibility for their lives rather than depend on womb to the tomb oversite by the government.
acebird, may i ask where you think intervention by the government should stop? is there anything that it should not regulate or tax...for our own good?
