Strike a pose. Does hitting vogue poses count as choreography under CoP?
It did for Navka.
If it is with the music and reflects the character of it then yes it does.
Voguing should be a required element in the technical program.
I agree. It could definitely be open to levels.
Only Navka could pull off vogueing during any figure skating program let alone a dance to the feeling begins.
So what should skaters get if they do the Macarena?
Butyrskaya did
And for Amodio and Candeloro.
If you are talking about the brief stop and pose moments that sometimes mark a change of music, I am OK with them. OTOH, I do actively dislike the extended dance in place type voguing.
Disregarding the bad taste potential of these moves, my bigger beef is that they are really thinly disguised rest breaks. Since skating is supposed to be a sport, stamina should count, so the vogue in place rest breaks should be penalized somewhere.
Judges could penalize too much posing under the Choreography component, specifically the Utilization of personal and public space and Pattern and ice coverage criteria.
I've always enjoyed a little posing. They're just small breaks in lengthy programs: I actually like a little variety from constant movement.
It's in the code. Level 4 Morozov.
Somebody could have done the Finnstep to Macarena as it is the right amount of bpm.
My coach and I used to do the Willow Waltz to the Macarena. It actually worked really well.
Screw the Macarena, that's level 1 stuff.
Level 4 is the Nutbush.
Nutbush is only Level 2. Bus Stop is level 3 because it has a turn in it.
...I think we may have just moved beyond my generation. Bugger.
These darn old people running our sport...
Well, it would still be reflected if it wasn't with the music/character, just not in a positive way.
If it is done well and not excessively, then I would reward the choreography mark (relative to if they had just been generically skating around). I agree with those who don't mind and even like it a little bit. Sometimes it gives interest and character to the program. I can think of a handful of times where I felt it got to be excessive enough, for example, Florent Amodio's Michael Jackson program and arguably Oksana Baiul's Olympic program, but both were interpreted extremely well. In those cases, I might end up with a similar choreography mark compared to if they had just been generically skating around during the posing sections, because I'd reward their contribution purpose, unity, and phrasing, but take off on the ice coverage and use of space. I would still keep the interpretation mark up very high in those two examples. I'd generally end up having a bigger than average difference between the choreography and interpretation mark (with the interpretation being high) in cases like those.
Pingu && myself were suggesting Cappellini&Lanotte to use it for SD this year. I remain bitterly disappointed.
Nancy Kerrigan wasted a good opportunity to do a full on vogue demonstration...
Fox on Ice (1994)
If Stephane does it, I approve. At least I think it worked very well for this program--created and sustained a mood and was not excessive. And it didn't just appear every minute for an obvious rest break mid-program.
Nancy did it before Maria
ETA: Wow, someone beat me to it lol
Isn't that what plushenko has been doing for years?
Voguing is choreography too. There are many aspects to choreo and poses can be one of them. That being said it shouldn't be overdone in skating imo. You've got to keep moving, keep skating as it were.
He can strike a pose or two
CH is more about the use of space, the way the program is laid out on the ice and so forth.
It counts towards PE and IN if it's done properly and in time and in character of the music.
I would deduct on TR and CH, however, if there's too much of it because you should be skating, not standing in place. Stopping and standing still isn't exactly a very difficult skill to master.
Well, when Amodio is vogueing, my reaction is that he's too lazy to put real choreography.
So it depends. I thought it worked very well in Kostner's Bolero, because it fit the style of the choreography, it built with the music, and drew you in. ALSO, it was some innovative vogueing, not stuff we've seen before.
During Kwan's later years where she just skated around from element to element, I WISHED she'd pose more and express more character in the music. I mean I'm sure it was more of an athletic achievement to be in constant motion, but meh.

The easiest way to attract attention in Turkey to oneself is to become furious when anyone dares suggest that Armenians were murdered in a genocidal attack by the Ottoman empire. A group of Turkish intellectuals issues an apology to their Armenian brothers and sisters and expressed their sorrow that Armenians were killed by the thousands. Naturally, an apology to Armenians is viewed by many as tantamount to expressing treason against the Turkish state. President Abdullah Gul has urged calm in discussion of the issue, but even him mild statement led to charges he is really a secret Armenian. Delvet Bahceli, leader of the Nationalist Movement Party(MHP) expressed his anger by stating bluntly: "I am ashamed of the person who initiated the campaign. We are the Turkish nation should be ashamed of them."
This debate has gone for nearly a hundred years, and it can be ended by a simple act. Appoint a committee of prominent historians from various nations in the world and charge that group to study the issue and issue a report. Hopefully, both Armenians and Turks, can assume historians will be objective. Anger and hate on both sides has to end, and the resolution is one that only objective historians can provide.

Well, anybody gonna hunt them this season?
I've been seeing them in larger numbers each year for the past few years and, this year, they are everywhere I've been looking.
I just hope the rain hasn't pushed them too hard.
For the past 5 seasons, I've been in WY during the week they are open so, I'm pretty pumped about getting after them. I've even been looking over my old Bandtail deeks and thinking about how to set a few in some high fir boughs.
I have lots of great memories from my childhood going along with my dad and uncle, when the limit was 10 a day and, they'd roll in to a field like a dark storm cloud. Hopefully, these growing numbers will, at some point, return us to those type of hunting days again.

Dear god... i haven't seen one of those stickers in ages but i had so many of them! - Just had to add. I will have to think of some zine quirks from yesteryear.
The one i can think of is that some of us who spawned from Riot Grrrl still use "yr" instead of "your". I got out of the habit only a couple years ago, but i notice some seasoned old school zinesters still do it.

text: We will be hunting in flooded rice this year, and over the past couple of years have tried different methods of covering our pits. When we used to hunt out of above ground blinds we just used tree limbs and cane, and that was fine. Since we have been in pits, we have mostly used rice stubble or different marsh grasses, depending on the crop that was planted. What do ya'll think is the best all around method of covering a pit in a rice field? Would tree limbs piled on a pit look too out of place?

Mastroianni, Mauer and Willingham due up.

Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75mm f/1.8 review: Is this the best Micro Four Thirds lens available?By Paul Carroll - Wednesday January 23 2013 Lens Review
Announced in February 2012 the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75mm f/1.8 is a 'fast' telephoto prime for the Micro Four Thirds Lens mount. With an equivalent 150mm focal length it's a good option for portraiture or sports and the wide f/1.8 maximum aperture is great for low light, too. Costing $899 it's an expensive option for serious amateurs or professionals alike, so if it's a lens you're considering read on to make sure it delivers the results you desire.
It's been over four years since Olympus and Panasonic jointly announced their Hybrid Mirrorless Camera venture in 2008 and the Micro Four Thirds lens mount was born. Since then the growing number of Micro Four Thirds lenses available has started to turn the system into a serious option for more and more photographers. Olympus alone has 12 Micro Four Thirds lenses available covering a 9-300mm focal range, equivalent to 18-600mm in 35mm terms, including specialist options such as slim line pancake lenses, macro and portraiture primes, as well as a range of zooms.
A recent release is the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75mm f/1.8 prime lens announced in February 2012, which is an attractive proposition for photographers looking after a high-end 'fast' prime for studio, portrait or even sports photography. Taking into account the x2 'crop factor' on the Micro Four Thirds system the equivalent focal length translates to 150mm in 35mm terms making it a long telephoto option - something to bear in mind if you're planning portraits in the studio or environments with restricted space. Sporting a full metal housing, solid construction and all silver finish it certainly looks and feels the part but costing $899 it's not cheap. You don't even get a lens hood supplied as standard so budget another $75 if you want one of those! So if you're after a 'fast' telephoto prime is the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75mm f/1.8 worth the money?

Nonsystematic\relevant comparisons?
It would be more relevant if you post comparison against other mirrorless or compact systsem cameras, rather than Nikon D3x which is more than 3x more expensive.
I'd suggest to make comparison against similar priced or sized camera, then you can mention the comparison against D3X to give the readers idea of where the 75mm + m43 system is against the whole playing field.
Oh, and OMD.

Re: Nonsystematic\relevant comparisons?
Comparison between other mirror less or compact camera system are very interesting too.
Sometimes we propose more "exotic" comparison like this one. Note that the first comparison we provided correspond to your request.
If you have other interesting comparison to propose, feel free to report it in this post !

Re: Nonsystematic\relevant comparisons?
Whereabout can I find comparison to other mirrorless cameras in the conclusion?
NEX. Fuji, samsung and EOS-M comes to mind.
Those are more in line with the price&size of m43 than the quoted Nikon D3X.

Mistake in the review of Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75mm f/1.8
You write in the introduction:
"Olympus alone has 12 Micro Four Thirds lenses available covering a 12-300mm focal range, equivalent to 24-600mm in 35mm terms, "
This is a mistake. Olympus also has 9-18 m43 zoom, so the total range covered is 9-300mm focal range, equivalent to 18-600mm in 35mm terms...

DxO needs a new m43 body for tests
I'm wondering what the results would be on a newer sensor with more resolution power. Like on an OMD? The GH2 is kind of outdated now.
Reply | Read all replies for this comment

Re: DxO needs a new m43 body for tests
The GH2 and/or GX1 are fine for m43 lens tests until a generation of higher resolution appears. Why?
There are 5 components of DXO lens tests, and aside from the hard upper limit sensor Mpix places on resolution, sensor differences (in dynamic range, luminance noise, or chrominance noise) generally have negligible impact.
DXO found the Sony sensor Olympus cameras (EM-5, E-PM2, E-PL5) to have somewhat superior dynamic range and noise characteristics than other 16 Mpix m4/3 (GH2, GX1), but the pixel pitch, and hence the hardware upper limit on resolution, is the same. The Olympus 16 Mpix cameras reportedly have weaker antialiasing filters than the the 16 Mpix Panasonics, but as I understand they still have them, so any difference in resolution tests would be smaller than the difference between the Nikon D800 and D800E (< 5%, and visible only upon pixel peeping).
Distortion is a large scale geometric defect rather than pixel level effect, and should be the same on any camera of the same mount.
Vignetting may differ on other camera mounts due to varying pixel well depth (incident light arriving at oblique angles may miss the well bottom), but 4/3 and m4/3 were designed from the start for digital sensors, with telecentric lenses and perpendicular incident light.
Transmission can be, and probably is, tested on an optical bench, with no camera at all.
Likewise, chromatic aberration can be measured in µm on an optical bench. If it were measured in pixel widths, higher resolution would make CA more visible when pixel peeping.
As an exercise, look at lenses with multiple DXOmark tests on other mounts. You'll note the same general pattern:
- Camera resolution creates an upper limit on sharpness, but camera models with the same Mpix count differ trivially.
- Vignetting can vary lightly on non-telecentric lenses (but not 4/3 or m4/3)
- Distortion, Transmission, and Chromatic aberration are the same for a given lens regardless of mount.
So, might lens tests using an Oly 16 Mpix camera add 1 point to perceptual megapixels (P-Mpix) for the very sharpest m43 lenses (75, 60, 25). Possibly, but in my opinion only if there's a shift from rounding down to rounding up. It would have negligible impact on the relative scores of the lenses within the system or compared to others.

The passenger can face a penalty as high as $7,500.00. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions, that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Tha Locstah, Jul 2, 2009.
I don't see what you mean.
Now this would be interesting to see. I hope the Celtics get him.
Me 2. A lineup of Rondo Allen Pierce Garnett Wallace Brings Dwight Howard at least 18 feet out from the basket every time down the court, and Kevin and Rasheed guard him better than any other two people in the league right now. The Magic can bring back Hedo and they are still my #2 once Boston locks up Rasheed.
I mainly want to see the sideshow of Sheed/Garnet. Be like mixing oil and water or whatever. With that said. Wherever Sheed goes at his age its not going to be as a starter. Someone to bring off the bench for 15-20.
It matters who finishes more than who starts. I think Rasheed finishes. I also think this works better than some think it will.
Spurs supposedly wants him to start.
Every contender has their own Dale Davis. Bring in an old vet to help shore up the front line. Its a good move. If you need anymore than that then the odds are you are not a real contender and lets face it - the Spurs are done.
Sheed and Duncan together would be a force. Duncan can stay in the paint and Sheed will just fire 3's at will as the defense sags in to stop Duncan.
Pop would probably explode at the sight of Sheed firing non-stop.
Report: Rasheed Wallace agent Bill Strickland thinks Boston Celtics would be a good fit - MassLive.com
If Sheed signs with Boston I Guaransheed he comes off the bench. They won't start him over Perkins.
Magic contact Sheed's agent Magic contact Rasheed Wallace's agent | NationalSportsReview.com
As I have already stated, it won't matter if Rasheed starts. If he goes to this team I Guaransheed that he will be on the floor finishing games most of the time. He might be willing to come off the bench, but there is no way Rasheed Wallace will be happy watching games get won or lost from the bench.

Monday, November 19, 2012
Being a football fan has its up and downs. As Gooners, although it sometimes doesn't feel like it, I believe we definitely enjoy more of the former. Saturday is certainly one that falls into the right category!
Although I could probably work it out if I tried, I cannot remember the number of north London derbies I have attended down the years. Last season's corresponding fixture was certainly the first time I had seen us win 5-2. Not only was it a crazy game and result but it proved absolutely massive in the way the rest of the season panned out.
Recent weeks could be described as entertaining but in the seven games we have played in three different competitions since our good win at West Ham, only two have seen us come away with a victory. Consequently it is a period laced with considerable amounts of frustration and disappointment too.
Knowing consistency is something lacking at the moment, I went into Saturday's game positive and confident as always but with those feelings accompanied by a degree of trepidation.
Talking to fellow Gooners, reading your e-mails and keeping abreast of various blogs and social networks online, views and opinions on all things Arsenal are probably more varied than I can ever remember right now. I take a huge amount of pride and satisfaction however, that the extreme majority agree that whatever our thoughts, we get right behind the team when they cross that white line.
It is a unity that creates that '12 man' when channelled correctly and this was hugely apparent come kick-off time on Saturday afternoon.
In the opening exchanges I felt we looked extremely up for the fight, always an important aspect in a derby game, but our opponents started well too, a mix-up in defence seeing us fall behind. Not the start we all wanted but early enough in the game to give us plenty of time to try and turn it around.
Of course the sending off did not help our visitors' cause, but that's not really our fault. Beating 10 men, especially when behind, is not always easy, we have all been going to football long enough to realise that.
What did happen immediately after the incident was that we powered forward with wave after wave of attack in search of that crucial equaliser. Theo terrorised down the right flank again and his fine cross was simply buried by our 'Big Friendly Giant' of a centre half. The roof nearly came off the stadium and the noise reached a whole new level.
Further pressure saw us take the lead and as Lukas' effort trickled over the line I couldn't help but remember back to our visitors' opener last season when a deflection saw the ball loop over Chezz and into an empty net. Get in! They all count and the resulting jostle was again crazy.
Almost before we had dusted ourselves down, it seemed, man of the match Santi went on another mazy run and Oly slotted home the third. Cue yet another mass of arms and limbs as we celebrated with further gusto!
Half time was almost celebratory although it calmed very quickly knowing we were only halfway from achieving what we all wanted from the day.
Our opponents started the second half in an extremely attacking way, totally expected given they were two goals behind of course, but we also knew this could see us benefit on the break if we were accurate, sharp and clinical.
Our fourth could not have been more of those things, Santi smashing home Lukas' cross to send us into dreamland.
Further chances came to increase our visitors' misery but we wouldn't be Arsenal right now unless we kept us all on slight tenterhooks!
Despite conceding a second, however, one cross-shot aside we looked pretty comfortable as the final whistle approached, a good injury time run from the Ox seeing Theo whack the cherry on the top of an extremely enjoyable cake.
Five-two again, would you believe it?! A great day to be a Gooner.
Montpellier away proved a tough, tough game and although we came away with the victory we rode our luck a little on the night. That emphasises that complacency is a no-no on Wednesday night as we look to progress through to the knockout stage.
For now however, I might just go and take another look at Saturday's highlights!
North London is red.

Re: Looking to buy C21-many keel questions
And also wondering how much water comes up if the plug is not used?
Re: Looking to buy C21-many keel questions
The owner's manual link does not work, do you have another link by chance?
Re: Looking to buy C21-many keel questions
After lowering the keel and inserting the locking bolt (by now you probably figured out where it goes?) you unhook the cable from the tip of the keel, and reel in the cable on hte winch. Originally, there was a pole with a "V" shaped end that was used to fish the cable down to the keel before raising, and to unhook it after lowering (we eventually just used a boathook). The Keel Plug "seals" the bottom of the keel well to reduce turbulance and any surging of water up into the keel trunk. There is a separate cover that covers the hole in the cockpit sole and further ensures dry feet.
Yes, you do need to use the locking bolt. It keeps the keel in position and will reduce wear and tear on hte pivot bolt and pivot hole in hte keel. The locking bolt also serves as a back up "keel retention" if (heaven forbid!) the area around hte pivot should break on hte keel. (Keel is made with a steel/iron backbone encased in a fiberglass/resin fin with a 360# lead bulb cast onto the end of that backbone. The pivot point is part of the backbone or welded on to it). The web site that Jim refers to has a link to a description of rebuilding the keel by one CAL 21 owner. That includes a drawing of what the keel is made of.
The cable conects to the tip of the keel for raising/lowering using either a small notch molded into the lead, or some boats came with a nice stainless-steel hook in hte tip of the keel. (the hook will be easier to catch with the loop on hte keel cable, but hthe notch works if you are careful!) On some boats the owners have replaced the notch with an aftermarket hook or other attachment.
Watch the winch board while raising/lowering the keel, once you pass a certain point while lowering, or until you reach that point when raising, the pull on hte winch tends to make the winch board want to slide forward along the seats. We intended to add a couple of braces to the winch board to hold it aft, but ended up selling the boat before we did that.
Oh, and there is a copy of the Owners Manual on that web site as well.
(www.cal21.com) or use Jim's link.
Re: Looking to buy C21-many keel questions
I can't help but get in on this conversation...I went back and forth with what I wanted in sailboat and ended up buying the cal21 without any research (go figure) because it was the "right" price. If you are looking for a boat you can easily launch then a swing keel boat is pretty ideal. Obviously both have their benefits. If you have been reading my threads you can see that we ended up doing a lot more work on the boat than I ever intended but this is a great boat and price to learn lessons on.
I have yet to use the plug with my boat. We have a cover that keeps the water at your feet to a minimum...this project is somewhere down on the list.
The trailer is also very important too. We bought a newer trailer for almost the same price as the boat.
Re: Looking to buy C21-many keel questions
Here's that page. Credit Rod & Gordon Johnson/ NODROG. I had the chance to buy his boat, but passed it up as I didn't have a trailer. With the knowlage I now posess, I should have built a trailer just to get it home. Oh well.
Re: Looking to buy C21-many keel questions
The keel plug is as the name implies. It is a piece of wood (mine has a metal foot at forward end that rests against back edge of the lowered keel) that fills the slot in the center of the cockpit floor, from where the keel is lowered. It's not a tight seal that keeps the boat afloat, it just keeps your feet a little more dry. Should there be a problem with the one offered with the boat, there are dimensional drawings available online. Simple to make. I'll try to get back with a link to those drawings, and it contains a lot of other good info. Good luck!
Re: Looking to buy C21-many keel questions
not familiar with the keel plug, unless it's used to cover the space in the housing of the keel. We just stuffed a towel in there until the centerboard came back up. A fixed keel, trailor sailor would be harder to launch and would probably need a trailor tongue extension and a good sized truck. Rhodes 19 ia a good sailing boat. Don't know of many others. Good luck.
Re: Looking to buy C21-many keel questions
Also, what exactly is the keel plug used for? Do you use it with a pin to hold it down?
Re: Looking to buy C21-many keel questions
Yep, that would be the Salukis!! Ugliest racing dog you have ever seen.
Thanks for the info. I am thinking of moving to a fixed keel boat for my first one.
Any suggestions? I am thinking of staying in the 16-21 foot range, used, and trailorable.
Re: Looking to buy C21-many keel questions
Howzit Saluki86,
Illinois, Right? Your team was at the Maui B'Ball tournament recently. Anyway, go check out the boat, and trailer. If it is terrific then go for it. A centerboard set up is not too difficult. Most of your concerns would be alleviated by equipment in good condition. You'll be able to tell right off.Don't know where you'll sail, so I'll leave the performance of the boat to other owners. Most Cals are good sailing and user friendly . Good luck.

As a rookie in 2011, Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray looked like he was on the fast track to becoming an elite running back. He gained 978 yards from scrimmage in seven starts before a broken ankle cut his breakout season off at Week 14. Last year, Murray's numbers fell off precipitously as he gained 914 yards from scrimmage in 10 games. The only thing that stayed the same was the missed time due to injury as a sprained foot cost Murray six games.
For 2013, Cowboys running backs coach Gary Brown told the Dallas Morning News that he wants "to get [Murray] to be an elite runner," but first things first.
"We all know that the injury bug has hit him a little bit," Brown said of Murray. "We have to keep him healthy, and he and I will work together to just refine some of his things and get him better. Obviously, he is a good, talented runner.
Fantasy Analysis:
Since 2007, dating back to his time at Oklahoma, Murray has suffered multiple knee injuries, multiple hamstring injuries, a broken ankle and a sprained foot. The Cowboys can try to keep him healthy by reducing his carry count, but it doesn't sound like they want to do that. Murray is another one of those talented-by-injury-prone players in the NFL. Nothing is going to ultimately stop him from getting hurt other than plain luck. Just like with Michael Vick, Murray should just play his game and not worry about anything else. And as with any injury-prone fantasy commodity, owners need to weigh the risks. With Murray, they are high, but he is still a strong RB2.

Greenland meltdown
After a record-breaking 2010 in terms of surface melt area in Greenland Tedesco et al, 2011, numbers from 2011 have been eagerly awaited. Marco Tedseco and his group have now just reported their results. This is unrelated to other Greenland meltdown this week that occurred at the launch of the new Times Atlas.
The melt index anomaly is the number of days with detectable surface melt compared to the baseline period of 1979-2010. The higher the number, the more melt days there were. While this did not match the record 2010 levels, depending on the analysis 2011 was either the 3rd or 6th year in the rankings.
Analysis of the surface mass balance via regional modelling demonstrates that there has been an increasing imbalance between snowfall and runoff over recent years, leading to a lowering of ice elevation, even in the absence of dynamical ice effects (which are also occurring, mostly near the ice sheet edge).
Figure 2. Regional model-based estimates of snowfall (orange), surface melt and runoff (yellow) and the net accumulation (Gt/yr) (blue) since 1958.
The estimated 2010 or 2011 surface mass imbalance (~300 Gt/yr) is comparable to the GRACE estimates of the total mass loss (which includes ice loss via dynamic effects such as the speeding up of outlet glaciers) of 248 ± 43 Gt/yr for the years 2005-2009 Chen et al, 2011. Data for 2010 and 2011 will thus be interesting to see.
While the accelerating mass loss from Greenland is of course a concern, the large exaggeration of that loss rate by Harper Collins in the press release for the 2011 edition of the Times Atlas was of course completely wrong. The publishers have issued a 'clarification', which doesn't really clarify much (Update (Sep 22, 2011): The clarification has been clarified from the original statement). As discussed on the CRYOLIST listserv, the confusion came most likely from a confusion in definitions of what is the permanent ice sheet, and what are glaciers, with the 'glaciers' being either dropped from the Atlas entirely or colored brown (instead of white) (No-one that I have seen has posted the legend from the Atlas that gives the definition of the various shadings, though in the 1994 edition I have, glaciers are (unsurprisingly) white, not brown).
The Times is still claiming that it stands by its maps (Update: The new clarification no longer makes this claim). This is quite silly, and presumably reflects the fact that it would be very expensive to reprint all the atlases that may have already been printed. In case this isn't already clear, there is simply no measure — neither thickness nor areal extent — by which Greenland can be said to have lost 15 % of its ice. As a letter written by a group of scientists from the Scott Polar Research Institute says, "Recent satellite images of Greenland make it clear that there are in fact still numerous glaciers and permanent ice cover where the new Times Atlas shows ice-free conditions and the emergence of new lands".
The push back from glaciologists on this issue was a good example of how the science community can organise and provide corrections of high-profile mis-statements by non-scientists – by connecting directly with journalists, providing easy access to the real data, and tracking down the source of the confusion. In so doing it also provides an opportunity to give the real story – that change in Greenland and the rest of the Arctic is fast and accelerating.
Update: Here is a figure showing the preliminary GRACE results for Greenland for 2010 and the beginning of 2011. The anomaly in 2010 was huge, indicating perhaps a total loss of about 500 Gt/yr:

Anti-Piracy "Mafia" in Finland Raid House, Confiscate Winnie the Pooh Laptop
Jason Mick
November 23, 2012 9:16 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: South Park Studios)
The piracy police made one 9-year-old a very unhappy camper
Word to the kids: don't pirate files or your folks may have their houses raided and your toys seized.
A 9-year-old Finnish girl,
according to
, happened to be very into a particular local pop star named Chisu. So innocently, the 9-year-old went onto Google Inc. (GOOG) ubiquitous search engine. Lo-and-behold, the first result to pop up was
The Pirate Bay
, the world's biggest torrent and magnet-link site, which also happens to have been
launched in neighboring Sweden
The girl tried to install a program to read the torrent files she downloaded, but the downloads all mysteriously failed. Upset, she complained to her father, who took her to the store to purchase the Chisu album -- legally.
But it turns out that the downloads didn't fail. Instead they were malicious trackers, which flagged her home internet protocol (IP) address as an infringer. Working with her ISP, the local
Copyright Information AND Anti-Piracy Centre
(a sister organization to the
Recording Industry Association of America
) sent her father a suspicious letter, demanding a payment of 600€ and to sign a legally binding letter promising not to tell anyone about the payment or the threat.
[Chisu on YouTube]
Her father, confused, did not respond.
That's when local police raided the house in order to "assist" in the investigation. The father in the case recalls thinking that he'd wound up on the bad side of Mafioso or something, commenting, "I got the feeling that there had been people from the Mafia demanding money at the door. We have not done anything wrong with my daughter. If adults do not always know how to use a computer and the web, how can you assume that children or the elderly – or a 9-year-old girl – knows what they are doing at any given time online? This is the pinnacle of absurdity. I can see artists are in a position, but this requires education and information, not resource-consuming lawsuits."
The little pirate paid dearly for her "crime against humanity"; the armed police raiding her house seized her Winnie the Pooh laptop as "evidence" to be used in the case against her father.
There is a silver lining: Chisu, whose music the nine-year-old so-loved that she put her father in legal jeopardy, reached out to the family after hearing the story. She points them to her Spotify, where people can listen to her music for free, commenting, "I hope that the matter will be resolved soon and sorry to my 9-year-old girls."
Finnish police seized a certain little pirate's Winnie the Pooh laptop.
[Image Source: IBTimes]
Joonas Mäkinen of Finland's Pirate Party was outraged at the story. He praises Chisu's response, but complains the big media industry is holding artists hotage, leaving them with few real options to help abused fans. He comments:
It is sad to see how even the big artists have no idea what CIAPC / TTVK is doing in their name. And the worst part is that even after learning about this, like Chisu did just now and took part in the discussion on Facebook, they can't stop it since all copyright protection and monitoring is centralized.
I hope all musicians realize that the fan hunt that involves confiscating laptops and signing deals that require you to be silent about the payments are severely hurting the image of copyright and creators. Authors of works should actively rise up to say NO to what CIAPC/TTVK is doing if they wish to keep their fans.
The Pirate Party has
gained its first seats
in the European Union's Parliament, following public outrage at the Orwellian anti-piracy tactics that have been sweeping the continent.
The CIAPC confirmed, according to
, that the girl was among the pirates targeted by its anti-piracy sting operations.

Few Springsteen albums have served as inspiration to other artists as much as Nebraska. In 1991 Sean Penn used the storyline of "Highway Patrolman" to create the movie The Indian Runner; 14 years later, in 2005, author Tennessee Jones wrote a collection of short stories - Deliver Me From Nowhere - based on the album; and now Bruce's first solo album will come alive as a theatrical performance..
Like Jones' collection of short stories, the performance borrows its title from "Open All Night" although with a slight variation. It's called "Deliver Us From Nowhere: Tales From Nebraska" and consists of 10 short plays that each represent a song from Nebraska. It's the Tympanic Theatre Company of Chicago that is behind the show, including artistic director and long-time Bruce fan Daniel Caffrey. The production will open on April 26 at the Right Brain Project in Chicago and run through May 20.
The plays are written by 10 different playwrights, and all 10 plays will be enacted during the course of the evening. If you're hoping to hear Bruce's songs, you are unfortunately out of luck. But that doesn't mean there won't be music. A bunch of new songs have been written that will be performed by live musicians during the show. The songs are inspired by the plays, which in return were inspired by Nebraska. Confused? Don't be. The long and short of it is that the dark atmosphere of the Nebraska album will be brought to life right there on a stage in front of you, with real actors, musicians, and audience.
If you want more information about the performance, you can find it here, and if you're already convinced, tickets can be bought here.

The Iowa Lakes Community College Wrestling team is headed to the North Central District wrestling tournament this weekend, Feb. 10th at Ridgewater Community College in Willmar, Minn. The Laker men are currently ranked 18th in the latest National Junior college Athletic Association wrestling poll.
Seven of the Nine teams that will be at the tournament are ranked in the NJCAA top 25.
Ellsworth Community College- 6
Ridgewater College- 10
Iowa Central Community College- 11
Iowa Western Community College- 13
Rochester Community College- 16
Iowa Lakes Community College- 18
North Iowa Area Community College- 19
"This is going to be a very competitive tournament, there is only one weight class that has less than 4 ranked participants," Head Coach Cody Alesch said about the weekend. "This is probably the deepest and most competitive qualifier this region has ever had."
The Iowa Community College Athletic Conference has been selected to host the National Wrestling Tournament this year. It will be held at the Richard O. Jacobson Exhibition Center on the Iowa State Fair Grounds from Friday, Feb. 22nd to Saturday, Feb. 23rd.
Because Iowa Lakes is a member of the host conference they, and the other schools participating in the regional tournament, will receive additional qualifiers. The top 4 wrestlers at each weight are automatic qualifiers, plus there will be additional wild cards selected at the end of the day.
Tournament action begins at 10 AM on Sunday. "We are eager to get the qualifier started," Coach Alesch added. "This is the day that all the kids have been thinking about for months while preparing and working towards the goals they have set for themselves and the team."

I'm doing a test fit of my Female Tusken castings that were cast in cold cast Bronze . These out door pictures don't really do it much justice as far as seeing the shine of the bronze so please take a look more at the details in the sculpt .
When you look at the mask you get the feel that this was actually pounded metal that had been shaped , folded , spot welded , torn in spots and repaired , on the squares either side of the mask if you look close you see a repeating nick in some of them suggesting those squares were by a craftsman with certain way of doing his job different from others , On the lower edge of the mask there are rips that had been repaired where the metal had gotten to thin during the pounding process , the metal above the eye opening you can see the spot welds and how it was seamed together attaching the sides and the middle . The center detail was made to match as close as possible to the screen used mask taking two hours the owner of our local bead shop to find just the right beads .The inner skirt attention was paid to the pins and small straps . Some detail is still missing on the forehead only because I haven't cast them yet .
Take a look and as always feed back is appreciated.

Huzzah for a lovely design WITH the possibility of long sleeves!
A long-sleeved tee? Why, is it cold?
Wow, that is a nice design. Long sleeves as a choice? Cool.
LONG SLEEVE TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!111!!!1!11!!eleven
. . . God of the North Wind
That phrase brings back memories: At the Back of the North Wind was a book I read as a child.
Pleasant design. Add a hood to that long sleeve and then we're on to something.
A long-sleeved Woot tee and metallic ink?! O_O ...can...not...handle...such...drastic...changes!
First, shout out to Wasilla. I used to live in Anchorage. Not sure if I've seen an Alaskan artist on here before.
Long sleeve? Special ink? AND Greek mythology? In for one! Thanks woot!
Who knew something positive could come out of Wasilla??!! O_o
Also, the Sea Chariot design (same artist, looks like same metallic ink) printed up very nicely; I really like the effect.
Ah Khione, the Greek goddess of snow. And I only know that because I read The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan.
I'm thinking we need long.sleeve.shirt.woot.com.
OK... Assuming all the shirts will have sleeves (yeah right) we could opt for long/short.shirt.woot.com.
Not that the design isn't cool or anything... but can someone PLEASE tell me what Wil Wheaton was so excited about?
KHIONE (or Chione) was one of the nymphs, a daughter of Boreas, god of the north-wind, and Oreithyia, the lady of mountain gales. Khione was herself probably the goddess of snow (khiôn).

His design is available on a zip-up hoodie!
Probably the hoodie at the Holiday Gift Guide
The design looks like the Mr.T of the Reindeer world. He pities the fool!
Oooooh. Love the atmosphere on this. Will have to pick one up.
As an aside, anyone know if you can check if you have honorable mention credits? I was pretty sure I had two more but the price isn't adjusting :|
The snow makes a head, with a really big nose, if you squint
Now this is a great pick me up after a long day.
I just got home from work, not happy about the way it went and BAMMO! Here's woot making me happy by offering not only an awesome shirt, but an awesome long-sleeved shirt to boot!
Huzzah for long sleeves! Now...can we talk about getting a v-neck option?
This is really beautiful, awesome print!

Email firstname.lastname@example.com. They should be able to look it up for you.
Sooooo love this shirt!!! Hows come you don't have women's shirts? Would buy so many more if had a boat neck or v-neck. Pleeeeeeeze!?
This is standout beautiful. I had to get one.
Hey guys, how do you order this as a long sleeve instead of short? Just add a note?
This Snow Goddess shirt sure is selling fast in Minnesota.
Speaking of which, in for one.
kbelite8 wrote:Hey guys, how do you order this as a long sleeve instead of short? Just add a note?
There's a separate page from the holiday gift guide
Coming to rescue me in the snow?
Bring proper first aid....
lonelypond wrote:There's a separate page from the holiday gift guide
I bet this will really bling with the metallic ink. Nice lines.
Click on the blue box on the main page (Also Available as a Long-Sleeve Tee) or go to the Holiday Gift Guide.
Hope I ordered the right size long sleeve.
I usually wear WL and it seemed from the charts that long sleeve S was the closest...
Did you all interpret things any differently?
The perfect tee to wear for those of us playing Skyrim this winter.
This is lovely.
JadenKale wrote:Huzzah for a lovely design WITH the possibility of long sleeves!
Why does long sleeve have to cost twice as much though! It's not twice as much fabric and I doubt it costs them twice as much to make the shirts (since it uses the same amount of ink and long tees don't cost twice what short tees do). Come on woot!, the long sleeve should be $15 today for this design
Neat shirt! Too bad I'm too broke to get it right now.
Also...show the man some love. He's from Wasilla, which means he had to put up with a certain VP candidate/former mayor. Isn't that enough to get him some good karma and get people to buy his shirt? Lol.
This shirt was the perfect storm for me- Greek mythology, silver color, metallic ink, and a freakin' reindeer. This is the first shirt I've ever bought right away and I don't usually wear "pretty" tees

Picked up an old mini-max boat hull from Craig's List for $60 and turned it into a layout/hybrid boat. The paint job isn't done yet but will have to wait until I get rid of these crutches.
The thing was in bad shape, never had been coated with resin, fiberglass or even painted for that matter. There was a few weak spots in it.
So I started with this:
Fiberglassed the whole bottom and most of the top with light weight mesh and resin after making the cockpit bigger.
This thing will be perfect for floating the river this fall. Paddles easy with canoe paddle.
This is after the base coat of paint.

Authorize senders with SPF
About SPF records
We recommend that you create a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record for your domain. An SPF record is a type of Domain Name Service (DNS) record that identifies which mail servers are permitted to send email on behalf of your domain.
The purpose of an SPF record is to prevent spammers from sending messages with forged From addresses at your domain. Recipients can refer to the SPF record to determine whether a message purporting to be from your domain comes from an authorized mail server.
For example, suppose that your domain example.com uses Gmail. You create an SPF record that identifies the G Suite mail servers as the authorized mail servers for your domain. When a recipient's mail server receives a message from firstname.lastname@example.com, it can check the SPF record for example.com to determine whether it is a valid message. If the message comes from a server other than the G Suite mail servers listed in the SPF record, the recipient's mail server can reject it as spam.
If your domain does not have an SPF record, some recipient domains may reject messages from your users because they cannot validate that the messages come from an authorized mail server.
If you've already set the SPF record for your domain, it means that you have set Google's servers in the SPF records.
SPF records for outbound gateway
If you decide to enable the email gateway feature, you will need to make sure both Google server's and the outbound gateway SMTP server address is included in the SPF record.
Note: If you purchased your domain from one of our registration partners while signing up for G Suite, Google does not publish SPF records for your domain.
Note: If you have an existing SPF record, you can update it to authorize an additional mail server. Be careful not to create multiple SPF records - only update the existing record. Multiple SPF records are not recommended and will cause authorization problems. See Add SPF records for more information.

General Law Provisions
Supplemental Acts to the Revenue and Taxation Code
Stats. 1987, Ch. 1234
Stats. 1987, Ch. 1234—An act relating to taxation, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.
Section 1. Allocation of property tax revenue; Yolo County. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the allocation of property tax revenue in the fiscal years 19797–80 to 19857–86, inclusive, in Yolo County, as distributed as of July 1, 1986, shall be deemed correct, and only the following reductions or increases in apportionments shall be made for the fiscal years from 19797–80 to 19857–86, inclusive. For the purposes of computing the 19867–87 tax year and subsequent tax years, the amounts included in the 19857–86 tax year for the purpose of correcting distributions for 1979 to 1985 shall not be used. The auditor of Yolo County shall adjust the next distribution of property tax revenue in amounts to reflect the adjustments identified in the Yolo County Auditor's Tax Distribution Report for fiscal years 19797–80 to 19857–86, inclusive, dated October 1, 1986, and on file with the Yolo County Clerk.
Sec. 2. Legislative finding. With respect to the provisions of Section 1 of this act, the Legislature finds and declares that a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of article IV of the California Constitution because of unique circumstances applicable only to Yolo County. Unlike other counties, the County of Yolo was unable to comply with the new revenue distribution system because of the lack of a sophisticated computer system necessary as a prerequisite to comply the new method of computation.
Sec. 3. No reimbursement. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because this act is in accordance with the request of a local agency or school district which desired legislative authority to carry out the program specified in this act.
Sec. 4. Urgency statute. This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
In order for local taxing agencies of Yolo County to be immediately relieved of the possibility of litigation and to assure that the county auditor is free to implement the newly adopted apportionment procedures without duress, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.

Re: ICOM SSB and ADSP filter kit?
No the noise does not effect the email. It is digital and as a result you can even reduce power when getting email.
After using HF for a while, you hear past the noise and for even weak stations it will surpprise you what you can hear. Good stations come in over the top of noise. While the RF gain will reduce the noise level it will also reduce the intelligible range of the receiver so be careful with this adjustment.
I have put a lot of free downloads on my site that may help your communications and SSB use. Feel free to down load it. Get to know how the DSC works it is the most powerful source for help.
Made Simple for Cruisers
Re: ICOM SSB and ADSP filter kit?
The best way to check for local noise sources, is "divide and conquer". Start by shutting down EVERYTHING except the radio power. If the noise is still there--it isn't local. If the noise has gone away, turn on 1/2 of your breakers. left/right, top/bottom, any way you want to split it, turn on half of them. If the noise isn't there, turn those off and turn on the other half.
As you keep testing "half of what's left" you will be able to quickly break it down to "this half" creates the noise, "that half" doesn't. And for the average boat, you won't have to divide your halves more than 4-5 times before you get it down to one or two circuits.
Electrical noise can be a RFPITA to track down, but it feels so good when you finally DO nail it down. Mainly, it needs patience, and assuming nothing. A doorbell, an old transformer, a loose plug...noise is like rust, it finds the most peculiar ways to spread.
Re: ICOM SSB and ADSP filter kit?
The tuner being tuned up may, or may not have any effect of your receive signal. If the wave length of the interference is centered around your tuned frequency, the received signal will be perceived to be weaker. If your interference is far enough off the frequency of the radio, the signal will appear to be stronger when tuned up. So tuning sometimes helps, sometimes hurts and sometimes doesn't have a lot of effect on what you hear out the speaker.
Sometimes it is tough to hear the interference generated on your boat. Try turning off the speaker, turning your volume to its minimum and plugging in headphones. I find a lot of the electrically generated noise is easier to hear. If you have a charger running for example, you'll hear the 60 cycle hum very clearly.
I tuned in the other day. The bands are very noisy out here right now. If you are hearing Hawaii, you are doing ok on the receive. But the best test will come when you get your license and be able to transmit.
Re: ICOM SSB and ADSP filter kit?
We gave the ICOM 802 SSB a test or two on the Pacific Seafarers net 1430 and tried it with the antenna tuner off (THRU) And then on (TUNE). It id did seem to make much difference.
We disconnected the reefer and shore power plug. We were still in the marina and I did not change anything else. Perhaps if I went through the manual and tried some different settings we could hear better. We did pick up some one from Hawaii and even further away but am not sure.
Not sure about privacy issues here but there was not much said that could be private.
We will keep trying and see how it goes.
The next day we got the ICOM 802 SSB receiving the GPS data with time and location from our chart plotter.

Does the noise affect the email?
I checked last night on the Pacific Seafarers Net, just to make sure everything was still the same. They do a warm up and check in session at 8 pm local (0300 UTC), and do the location and weather reports around 8:25 pm. There was also a net going right before, and I heard the net control at around 7:20 pm, a ham operator in El Paso. So you should have a good test of at least your receiver.
Re: ICOM SSB and ADSP filter kit?
"Does the "noise' affect the email?"
As the signal to noise ratio decreases (i.e. there's more noise) there will be more errors, more retries, slower throughput. So yes, noise will slow or stop all digital traffic including email.
If you'e got a strong signal and pesky but weaker local noise, decreasing the RF gain will decrease the strength of both the signal and noise, and if you can decrease it enough to lose the noise while keeping the signal, that's great. But if it just cuts back both, and the noise is strong...it just cuts them both back without helping. You just have to experiment.
Re: ICOM SSB and ADSP filter kit?
We do have a KISS SSB ground and bought the SSB 802 kit online with a Pactor modem. We have it all set up but for SailMail and the computer. We are currently setting up the SSB to GPS (chart plotter) function.
The kit said to not connect any other ground on the antenna tuner and so we did not. Also we I think we did not ground the radio either.
We did not disconnect anything. We have shore power plugged in etc. This will be our next test, un-plugging shore power and turning everything off.
Perhaps tonight we can try the "Pacific Seafarers' Net." And hear if there is a noise reduction using the RF gain.

Re: ICOM SSB and ADSP filter kit?
"We do have ferrets on all the radio cables"
ROFL. I see a Hallmark Moment there and have to thank you for it. (Yes, little things really do amuse me.)
Ferrites can only do so much, and then only if they are also matched/tuned to the frequency of the interference. I'd suggest as others have, that you look into finding the noice sources and seeing it you can attenuate them, or just shut them while using the radio. You may also find that away from the marina, the noise goes way down.
An added bonus to learning how to chase down noise, is that sooner or later you will be "out there" and hit by noise, and then you'll have a better idea of how to find it and stop it. Noise reduction accessory circuits would be the last step.
Re: ICOM SSB and ADSP filter kit?
Since this is new to you, I assume you're not too familiar with SSB communications. Because of the type of modulation and frequency range used, it is highly subject to atmospheric noise, both natural and man made. This is primarily from thunderstorms (even at great distances) as well as local man made noise sources. Your used to that nice quiet VHF-FM radio which is totally different. One very effective and little utilized (operator ignorance) method of reducing this noise yet still allow communication is to reduce the RF gain. That's what the control is there for. The default setting on this radio is maximum gain (level 9). Play around with the settings to get a feel for how it affects the noise and signal you are receiving. A setting of around 5-7 will significantly reduce noise while still allowing the intended signal through.
|One thing, the disconnect the ground wire between the radio and the tuner. They should be grounded separately to the DC negative not the ships ground or bonding. Turn your inverter and fridge off and unplug any shorepower if at the dock while using the radio. This will give you the best signal. Again take a look at the KISS SSB kit as it isolates the radio ground plane from the ship's grounding system. Good luck.

Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis
Hi, I have a new problem again.
It seems we have another dog with autoimmune disease.
So Jago, our gsd tervueren mix started vomiting few weeks ago. Half an hour after eating he vomited everything. We went to vet, exams, stomach flip etc, they said he has is an inflammatory bowel and stomach, maybe genetic, maybe caused by worms from his old life (he is adopted more then a year ago), but it seems like an autoimmune sourced disorder. We are so scared, we had our Duncan, died three years ago, he had autoimmune disease, he had different symptoms, but the autoimmune disease is not joke, it is not a secret of a long life.
Our vet said, the treatment is a diet, he get some gastro-potective medicine and pills "Losec" maybe it's different in Your contry, it's given to the pancreatic cancer. He said, we have to wait three months, and if it's not better we have to start a Prednisone threatment. I'm scared of Predniosone!!! Prednisone threatment killed my Betty in her Young ages, and Prednisone threatment made my Duncan's life shorter.
It's not fair, we have to see them all die!!!
Have You ever heared this Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis?
Do You know this disease? What is the threatment in Your country? Here the only way is the steroide-care, we all know this is the way to ****.
Please help if You can, we need advice what to do.
Sorry for any mispelling but I'm shocked and nervous
Sorry to hear that your Jago has a health issue, he is a very handsome boy. I have no knowledge about this disease, maybe someone will come along later and have a suggestion for you. Best wishes and healing thoughts coming your way for your boy to get better.
Poor pup. What are you feeding? I'm wondering if a change in diet and smaller more frequent meals would help.
Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis in Dogs | Stomach Inflammation | Diarrhea in Dogs | petMD
Merck Veterinary Manual
First, if it is IBD, a dietary change may help. So, what are you feeding? This could be caused by an intolerance to a food. IBD in my cat is from some mystery ingredient in kibble and supplements. A raw diet solved the problem.
Second, you need to get rid of the inflammation in the gut which starts with soothing the gut. Are you feeding probiotics? Digestive enzymes? Giving any slippery elm to coat his stomach?
Was any bloodwork done? Xrays for blockages?
First off a change in diet is crucial...feeding a biologically appropriate diet (RAW) - LOW FAT (hardest to digest) carbohydrate free (sugars feed pathogens that may not have been detected and elevated eosiniphils (sp.?:rolleyes:) may be as a result of this) SIBO comes to mind to...has he been tested for EPI?
A Natural B vitamin complex (not a B50 or B100 where all are the same mg.'s thes are synthetic) - look for a brand that contains B12 in "methylcobalamin" form NOT "cyano" - and a no flush niacin (b3), B3 is indicated to fight infectious pathogens - B12 and "B's" in general are depleted with diarrhea.
A good pancreatin digestive enzyme to help hydrolize the proteins for better absorption - to assist the body to help repair itself - takes some of the stress off the pancreas and liver as they don't have to work as hard.
Adding "raw organic cold pressed coconut oi" - also helps with pathogens and replaces fats required where fat digestion is compromised.
Herbal as mentioned - slippery elm bark - this is like an internal band-aide for the GI tract from mouth to rectum - this forms a mucosal barrier so pathogens cannot adhere to the lining causing scarring.
Probiotics to replace good bacteria and promote digestion
Colostrum - see links (re: auto-immune mediated)
for IBD, gastroenteritis of all kinds, hemorrhagic enteritis, colitis, non-specific diarrheas, absorption deficiencies, pancreatitis, constipation, obstipation, and food allergies. It has helped in all of these conditions and has no adverse side effects. It is not a panacea for these problems, but it is very effective in aiding the healing process necessary for resolving these conditions. I have noted that homeopathic cases of mine, that I felt were properly repertorized but had not responded, were now responding with the addition of colostrum.
BOVINE COLOSTRUM: THE FORGOTTEN MIRACLE Dogs Naturally Magazine
Research has identified an ingredient called praline-rich polypeptide (PRP) as one of the main components of colostrum that is responsible for eliminating or improving the symptoms of allergies. It is also thought to be potentially useful for other autoimmune conditions. According to Staroscik et al, 1983 (Molecular Immunology, Vol. 20, No. 12, pp. 1277-1282), PRP has the same ability to regulate activity of the immune system as do hormones produced by the thymus gland. It can stimulate an under-active system into dealing with disease-causing organisms and it can also suppress an over-active system which results from autoimmune disorders and allergic reactions.
PRPs ability to reduce allergic symptoms is thought to be partly due to inhibition of the lymphocyte (white blood cell) and T-cell overproduction that is normally associated with an allergic reaction. PRP may also assist in the creation of special cells (helper T-cells and suppressor T-cells) which suppress and switch off the immune response. Other studies have shown that PRP is highly anti-inflammatory, which helps to reduce the effects of the histamine that has been released.
COLOSTRUM FOR DOG ALLERGIES Dogs Naturally Magazine
Containing both broad spectrum and specific factors, Colostrum assists the body in combating bacterial, viral, fungal and allergenic marauders. Colostrum is the only food that augments the body with the immune factors needed to fight infection: Immunoglobulins, Leukocytes, Cytokines, Lactoferrin, Interferon and PRP. PRP (Polyproline-Rich Peptides) is the paramount legislator of the thymus gland, which is charged with producing cells to thwart viruses and antigens. PRP harmonizes the immune system, preventing the body from actually attacking itself, as is seen in diseases like MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Epstein-Barr, and Allergies.
Further - herb "Andrographis" is indicted for IBD
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis in a dog
It is a disease of exclusion. Was SIBO/epi ruled out?
What food is the dog eating now?
I would use Natural Balance with a UNIQUE protein source such as Venison or Bison.
(from the link above)
Dogs with IBD may be malnourished and have increased needs for protein and energy (3). The diet must be highly digestible and hypoallergenic; it must also be palatable and provide the energy and nutrients required.
Many dogs with IBD respond favorably to an elimination diet, which should have a single, novel protein source and a highly digestible, gluten-free carbohydrate source (1,3,4). A low fat diet is more easily tolerated, as it is less likely to delay gastric emptying (4). If the colon is affected (EGE), increasing dietary fiber may alleviate signs of large bowel involvement (diarrhea and tenesmus) (1).
Fiber increases fecal bulk, improves colonic motility, and binds water and irritants (1,4). Many hypoallergenic formulations are now commercially available. Although homemade recipes are available, they may be unsuitable for long-term feeding (3,4). Owners must be made aware that treats, table scraps, flavored medications, and rawhides may contain antigenic components and should be avoided (3,4).
Dogs with severe or refractory IBD may benefit from commercially available formulations containing starch and a hydrolyzed protein source (Ralston Purina CNM HA-Formula; Ralston Purina, St. Louis, Missouri, USA). These protein and carbohydrate sources are presented as smaller molecules and may be less likely to evoke a hypersensitivity response (4,5).
JAX08, next step is a bloodwork, I'll inform You.
GatorBytes, we are about to do EPI test.
We are so sad.
My vets needed to advice these exams, but I received any advice from overseas!
We payed a lot of money to know what the problem is, but without Your help we would be deaf and blind.
I'll inform You later
Thanks for all

Hey guys, Little Fett here.
I've been wantin to try my hand at mold-making and casting (NOT recasting of course), and at the risk of having to get a real job this summer, I thought that a budget ROTJ blaster kit might be a good place to start.
But before I take the plunge into this world of RTV and silicone, I need to know if anyone would be interested in buying my casts. The emphasis on BUDGET kit means that the price would be about $50 plus shipping.
So I wanna know; is anyone interested?......Am I waisting my time?......Should I just get off my lazy butt and get a real job (not likely)?

Union-Leader Attacks Head Start Programs Hurt By Budget Cuts
Blog ››› ››› SALVATORE COLLELUORI
The New Hampshire Union-Leader whitewashed the effects of sequestration on the Head Start program, ignoring research to falsely claim the program has no measurable benefits.
In a May 4 editorial, the Union-Leader discussed the closure of two Head Start programs in New Hampshire due to budgetary constraints following sequestration. While downplaying the effects of the schools' closures, the editorial also claimed that research has showed that the program is "a well-intentioned boondoggle with no measurable lasting impact on the children it serves."
The grim ax of sequestration has swung again. The target is New Hampshire's children. Don't believe that story.
Jeanne Agri of Southern New Hampshire Services, using the same talking points as her counterparts in other Head Start programs across America, told the Union Leader that a 5 percent cut in federal funding means closure for Head Start in Hudson and Newmarket. Cuts are planned in Hampton Falls.
Although the value of its services is not clear, Head Start has long been politically untouchable. Before the sequester, spending rose year after year even though research from liberals and conservatives showed that it is a well-intentioned boondoggle with no measurable lasting impact on the children it serves. Even with the 5 percent cut, its federal budget is higher than in Fiscal 2011. Next year, spending in New Hampshire will still be nearly $14 million.
The Head Start program has had wide ranging benefits for many American children and their parents. Studies have found that children from "high risk households" have seen substantial gains through the program, allowing them to be more prepared for kindergarten. In addition, the health benefits associated with the Head Start program have lowered mortality rates in students ages five to nine enrolled in the program, while simultaneously helping them acquire insurance, receive immunizations, and receive continuous medical and dental care.
Despite the Union-Leader's assertion, several studies have found long-term impacts on students in the Head Start program. Students who participate in the program achieve greater success in school and avoid criminal behavior. In addition, according to a study in the American Economic Journal, students were more likely to graduate from high school and attempt college:
Head Start participants are about 8.5 percentage points more likely to graduate from high school, 6 percentage points more likely to have attempted at least one year of college, 7 percentage points less likely to be idle, and 7 percentage points less likely to be in poor health.
One study even found that if an older sibling participates in the Head Start program, there are "positive spillovers" to younger siblings, "particularly with regard to criminal behavior."
The program also has a positive impact on parents of participating students. The Head Start program has identified and helped parents who were at risk of depression and encouraged parents to be more involved with their children, "both during and after the program."
While the Head Start program is a popular target for conservative media outlets, the benefits of the program are both numerous and well documented.
