I already asked if there are more rationals than integers here...
However, there is one particular argument that I didn't give before which I still find compelling...
Every integer is also a rational. There exist (many) rationals that are not integers. Therefore there are more rationals than integers.
Obviously, in a sense, I am simply choosing one particular bijection, so by the definition of set cardinality this argument is irrelevant. But it's still a compelling argument for "size" because it's based on a trivial/identity bijection.
EDIT please note that the above paragraph indicates that I know about set cardinality and how it is defined, and accept it as a valid "size" definition, but am asking here about something else.
To put it another way, the set of integers is a proper subset of the set of rationals. It seems strange to claim that the two sets are equal in size when one is a proper subset of the other.
Is there, for example, some alternative named "size" definition consistent with the partial ordering given by the is-a-proper-subset-of operator?
EDIT clearly it is reasonable to define such a partial order and evaluate it. And while I've use geometric analogies, clearly this is pure set theory - it depends only on the relevant sets sharing members, not on what the sets represent.
Helpful answers might include a name (if one exists), perhaps for some abstraction that is consistent with this partial order but defined in cases where the partial order is not. Even an answer like "yes, that's valid, but it isn't named and doesn't lead to any interesting results" may well be correct - but it doesn't make the idea unreasonable.
Sorry if some of my comments aren't appropriate, but this is pretty frustrating. As I said, it feels like I'm violating some kind of taboo.

This is a 75 inch length of unstripped Invisible Thread, enough to do hundreds of effects.
The thread comes unstripped, or coiled, so that you can see it. More than a dozen microfine strands are twisted together into a single strand of unstripped thread. Each single strand is very, very fine- nearly invisible- and best kept in the coil until you are ready to use it.
To use the thread, simply remove a single strand of thread in your desired length from the thread coil, which comes wrapped around a small piece of cardstock. This is best done using a sheet of white paper as a background, so you can see the thread. The video on this page demonstrates how to pull out a single strand from the thread.
This item does not come with instructions. This is just a pack of invisible thread, for those magicians who want to buy just the thread. For tricks instructions, please see Floating Bill Kit which includes tricks with Invisible Thread.
If you want a trick that uses this thread, PLUS gives instruction on DVD, please see Floating Bottle Cap With DVD.
For a more in-depth demonstration of the process of stripping invisible thread, please order the Floating Bill Kit or the Floating Bottle Cap With DVD. The Floating Bill Kit includes a booklet that explains how to correctly and easily strip invisible thread, plus it comes with a supply of thread and magician's wax, as well as instructions for making a dollar bill float and a pencil move across a table. The Floating Bottle Cap With DVD includes a DVD that shows how to correctly and easily strip invisible thread, comes with a supply of thread and magician's wax, as well as instructions for making the included bottle cap float, and more. After you learn how to strip thread, you can purchase this Invisible Thread as a refill for these tricks.
This is an old trick! Invisible Thread was described in the classic book, The Discoverie of Witchcraft, in 1584. Interested in magic history? Visit our free online Magic Library, full of biographies of famous magicians plus lots of magic history and trivia!

I'd call ol' Hope up and offer her a nice night of bannana kicks and drop balls. We'd work our way through some flick header into front header finishing with some back header and then move on to some thigh high traps around the goal area until we endlined the goal.

About Graveyard
Back in late 2012, Swedish hard rockers Graveyard tried to downplay that they may hold a darker world view. This while themes of war, betrayal and economic upheaval dominated their most recent album, "Lights Out."
Realistically, what other themes would you expect the band to tackle? Original members Joakim Nilsson, Truls Mörck, Rikard Edlund and Axel Sjoberg have been the masters of more morbid subject matter since their debut album, entitled "Graveyard," was released back in early 2008. (Though following the recording of said project, the band saw the replacement of guitarist Sjoberg with Jonathan Ramm).
Since then, life has been pretty good for the quartet. "Lights Out" not only followed closely behind their much-talked about 2011 release, "Hisingen Blues," the group took its reputation for tough, melodious tunes and translated the attitude into a stage show of the quintessential Seventies band. The initial vision, which Nilsson said was a mix between Slayer and Howlin' Wolf, mostly holds true to form.
Sure, the band can throw the fans off course a bit with their brooding ballads (there was a pair featured on their latest project), but for the most part remains known for its straightforward sound. It's what propelled them to the South by Southwest Music Festival stage back in 2008, and what put them out on the road with label mates Witch after SXSW. Since then the band has toured with Witchcraft, Clutch, CKY, and (most recently) Soundgarden.
Catch Graveyard at this year's Coachella festival. They'll also be doing a full tour in North America, culminating with their largest headlining NYC show yet on May 11 at Webster Hall.

"and many more years after Billy Holiday wrote "Strange Fruit" all of a sudden jazz is American music."
care of our friends at wikipedia:
"Strange Fruit" began as a poem written by Abel Meeropol, a Jewish high-school teacher from the Bronx, about the lynching of two black men. He published under the pen name Lewis Allan (the two names he and wife would have named their own children).[3]
Meeropol wrote "Strange Fruit" to express his horror at lynchings after seeing Lawrence Beitler's photograph of the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith in Marion, Indiana. He published the poem in 1937 in The New York Teacher, a union magazine. Though Meeropol/Allan had often asked others (notably Earl Robinson) to set his poems to music, he set Strange Fruit to music himself. The song gained a certain success as a protest song in and around New York. Meeropol, his wife, and black vocalist Laura Duncan performed it at Madison Square Garden.[4]
Barney Josephson, the founder of Cafe Society in Greenwich Village, New York's first integrated nightclub, heard the song and introduced it to Billie Holiday. Holiday performed the song at Cafe Society in 1939. She said that singing it made her fearful of retaliation. Holiday later said that because the imagery in "Strange Fruit" reminded her of her father, she persisted in singing it. The song became a regular part of Holiday's live performances.[5]
Greenish white or greenish black?
Ha ha :)
We are all here together and we all need to go green.
But that's another topic.
We thought of 5 African American jazz academics affiliated with Eastman, including the Vice President of the University.
As for the Juilliard jazz program, the new director is African American.
Enough of this nonsense. I think DrWahoo had some quality points, but they were dwarfed by her unfortunate racism.
Anyway, here's Wynton playing Cornet Chop Suey on youtube. That band is swinging so hard, that it almost makes me want to cry! The phrase he plays at 1:50 is so beautiful.
Let's all listen and relax and breathe in that music.
I am gonna see them live tomorrow night!
a very well-worded assessment of how you feel about the whole scene.
the world would be very bland without people who are not afraid to speak up, so bravo.
While my struggles in life have not even touched on the struggles of many in the past, I feel I can draw on my personal feelings and experiences to add flavour and colour to my music.
I feel that Jazz does not have to be angst-ridden, and can also express happy times and feelings, too.
As for the racist thing, well, I'm sorry to hear that that's your opinion.
hold on, I'm from the UK - I just thought; is that a crime against jazz?
A Beginner's introduction to Instrumental Jazz:
Sigh…yes I am so racist because I dare acknowledge the historical roots of jazz. As Stockley Carmichael once said a people cannot be racist if they have no power. Racism is the institutional oppression of one race over another and the belief that one race is better than another. I have not said anything about African-Americans being better than another racist, but simply acknowledge our equality with other races.
Again borrowing from history, during the Nazi era Hitler broken down the races into three groups culture-creators, culture-bearers and I believe culture destroyers. Jews and blacks of course were deemed culture-destroyers. Specifically around the world African-Americans have often been deemed the worst of all colored peoples. How do I know this ? A little background about me.
I am a missionary who has traveled through out the African Diaspora-(Africa, the Caribbean and America). My ministry of choice when I do mission work has been music, because it is the only thing that indeed unites people regardless of meaningless divisions. However, as an open minded African-American both Caribbean and Africans have expressed that African-Americans are so inferior to them. In fact as someone who was once married to an African, my in-laws not knowing that I could understand their language often referred to me and other African-Americans as akatas, which means niggers. Caribbean folks thought we were delusional about racism in this country and thought that we were just lazy. A lot of this misconception which is true for even Americans in general, has been created by the media, who consistently portrays African-Americans as ignorant and uncultured. Even I growing up in a predominantly white area did not know the historical and cultural contributions of black people to American culture until I attended Spelman College and began whole heartedly studying black history.
That being said in all honesty I often prefer Shostakovich to Miles Davis, so I do not think black people are better just different and beautiful because of their differences. Through Shostakovich and other Russian composers my band director had us play I learned to appreciate Russian culture. In fact I know more about classical composers than I do jazz musicians. I was often ostracized by my black friends for loving classical music, but being the rebel that I am I really didn't give a crap because good music is good music and it is the most authentic expression of ones cultural experiences.
Again the crux of my whole argument is to look at jazz in a greater cultural context and not simply in a musical vacuum. The problem in America is that we tend to racialize culture when in fact the core of culture which is identity is more nuanced than that. That is why most recently most historians and cultural anthropologists have rejected the notion that America is a melting pot, but instead a salad bowl.
Unfortunately, while there are Irish Pride Parades, Puerto Rican Pride Parades, or Italian Pride Parades, people reject that black people have been a nation with in a nation with their own culture and institutions as a result of true racism. That is why our classification in the American lexicon has shifted from Negro to Colored to Black to AFRICAN-American because African-American distinguishes us from true Africans but acknowledges our ethnic identity and not simply our skin color. The notion of race in itself is bigoted, because it implies that we are all competing which is completely absurd because : 1) the only real race is a the colorless spiritual race and 2) the amount of melanin in a person's skin has nothing to do with their intellectual or physical abilities, but was simply given to various people based on their proximity to the equator to protect them from the sun.

After that long ass post I think I am going to abandon this topic, because some people want to live in the damn Matrix of their mind and I am simply just offering them the red pill or the blue pill like Morpheus. Loweredsixth stay in the Matrix of your mind if you want, I really don't care but I hope someone will be enlightened by this discussion.

Oh brother.
Have you heard Whitney marchelle's new cd Me, Marsalis & monk? It has Clark Terry and Wycliffe Gordon on In Walked Bud. Also She sings Pannonica by Monk rarely perfomred by a vocalist. The lyrics to Wynton Marslais song Loose Duck really swings with Wycliffe on it. I was amazed of the versatilty of the smooth jazz and more so straight-ahead accomplished by one artist.
Aslo I want to add that i also like Tia Fuller's cd. Speaking of Whitney Marchelle I love the lyrics of her smooth jazz tunes and they do but do't sound like your typical smooth jazz. because there is somuch more improvisatio. I found the music when i googled her name. emailed her and she said her release is coming out at virgin & border srores. speaking of such threr are not many actual stores now to buy music. I like the idea of having the cd in my hand how about you all. any responce from my emails? I like discovering new artist and Marchelle is one I would say is worth taking a listen to.
well it looks like you guys focus is just on one thing and not other artist that are contirbuting to wynton or jazz. you need to change the subject and many of us have tried you interest in other areas as well and you are not adressing them. its all kind of sad you know. If i know wytnon personally i would tell him what you all's focus is on with jazz on his site. I feel he might be a little sadden. I asked your opion on some artist i heard and there was no reponce even from some of you regulars.
I think that you're posts are just a little off topic. Why don't you try creating a new thread about new artists.
Good luck

|Spectacular Foliage Today
I took a quick snapshot this afternoon of the hillside across the street. The foliage colors this year are magnificent. If you ever wanted to travel to Vermont to see the fall colors, you couldn't do any better than this year. Some of the upper elevations are a little past peak but still look very good and some areas have yet to peak. You still have time.

Interpretive Handbook

21-Hydroxylase Gene (CYP21A2), Full Gene Analysis, Prenatal
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), with an incidence rate of 1 in 10,000 to 18,000 live births, is one of the most common inherited syndromes. The condition is characterized by impaired cortisol production due to inherited defects in steroid biosynthesis. The clinical consequences of CAH, besides diminished cortisol production, depend on which enzyme is affected and whether the loss of function is partial or complete.
In >90% of CAH cases, the affected enzyme is 21-steroid hydroxylase, encoded by the CYP21A2 gene located on chromosome 6 within the highly recombinant human histocompatibility complex locus. Since sex steroid production pathways branch off proximal to this enzymatic step, affected individuals will have increased sex steroid levels, resulting in virilization of female infants. If there is some residual enzyme activity, a nonclassical phenotype results, with variable degrees of masculinization starting in later childhood or adolescence. On the other end of the severity spectrum are patients with complete loss of 21-hydroxylase function. This leads to both cortisol and mineral corticosteroid deficiency and is rapidly fatal if untreated due to loss of vascular tone and salt wasting.
Because of its high incidence rate, 21-hydroxylase deficiency is screened for in most United States newborn screening programs, typically by measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations in blood spots by immunoassay. Confirmation by other testing strategies (eg, LC-MS/MS, CAHBS / Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia [CAH] Newborn Screening, Blood Spot), or retesting after several weeks, is required for most positive screens because of the high false-positive rates of the immunoassays (due to physiological elevations of 17-hydroxyprogesterone in premature babies and immunoassay cross-reactivity with other steroids). In a small percentage of cases, additional testing will fail to provide a definitive diagnosis. In addition, screening strategies can miss many nonclassical cases, which may present later in childhood or adolescence and require more extensive steroid hormone profiling, including testing before and after adrenal stimulation with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-1-24.
For these reasons, genetic diagnosis plays an important ancillary role in both classical and nonclassical cases. In addition, the high carrier frequency (approximately 1 in 50) for CYP21A2 mutations makes genetic diagnosis important for genetic counseling. Genetic testing plays a role in prenatal diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency. However, accurate genetic diagnosis continues to be a challenge because most of the mutations arise from recombination events between CYP21A2 and its highly homologous pseudogene, CYP21A1P (transcriptionally inactive). In particular, partial or complex rearrangements (with or without accompanying gene duplication events), which lead to reciprocal exchanges between gene and pseudogene, can present severe diagnostic challenges. Comprehensive genetic testing strategies must therefore allow accurate assessment of most, or all, known rearrangements and mutations, as well as unequivocal determination of whether the observed changes are located within a potentially transcriptionally active genetic segment. Testing of additional family members is often needed for clarification of genetic test results.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Ambiguous genitalia detected on prenatal ultrasound, particularly when fetus is confirmed XX female by chromosome analysis
Pregnancies at risk for 21-hydroxylase deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia based on family history
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
All detected alterations will be evaluated according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) recommendations.(1) Variants will be classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Because of the complexity of the genetic structure of the CYP21A2 locus, and the possibility that a patient's diagnosis may be due to other gene defects, genetic testing results should be correlated carefully with clinical and biochemical data.
This testing strategy is superior to approaches previously used, but may still miss some complex and large-scale genetic rearrangements or deletions, as well as genetic changes in intronic regions or in far upstream or downstream gene-regulatory elements that impair CYP21A2 gene expression. This can lead to false-negative test results.
Rarely, unknown polymorphisms in primer- or probe-binding sites can result in false-negative test results (DNA sequencing) or either false-positive or false-negative results (multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification; MLPA deletion screening), due to selective allelic drop-out. False-negative or false-positive results can occur in MLPA deletion screening assays due to poor DNA quality.
In addition to disease-related probes, the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification technique utilizes probes localized to other chromosomal regions as internal controls. In certain circumstances, these control probes may detect other diseases or conditions for which this test was not specifically intended. Results of the control probes are not normally reported. However, in cases where clinically relevant information is identified, the ordering physician will be informed of the result and provided with recommendations for any appropriate follow-up testing.
Patients without genetic evidence for disease-causing CYP21A2 genetic changes may still have congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), but due to a different enzyme defect. Additional and expanded biochemical steroid profiling is, therefore, recommended if the clinical picture is strongly suggestive of CAH.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

A local political party appeared before
the LeFlore County Commissioners to ask
for an investigative audit of the county.
Dewey Harrison, a representative of the
LeFlore County Tea Party was given five
minutes to speak to the commissioners
regarding the ongoing issue. The exchange
was heated from the start.
"The Tea Party has now decided we
would like to ask for an investigative
audit." Harrison said. "We have examined
the audits closely, and if there is any disagreement
here we would like for you to
tell us we're wrong, but the audits clearly
demonstrate that there's a lack of internal
control down here at the courthouse and
we still believe that."
Harrison said, "It hasn't changed it's
still business as usual." He went on to
claim that two commissioners voted on
disbursing federal forestry and road funds
against the advice of the district attorney
with regard to distributing funds evenly
between all three districts. The commissioners
stated that they hadn't voted on
such a measure that it had been discussed
but action was not taken.
Harrison advised that several newspaper
accounts suggested otherwise.
The commissioners advised him that
newspapers can be wrong and everyone
needed to get their facts straight before
they started pointing fingers in a public
District 2 Commissioner Lance Smith
went on to say that if the commissioners
didn't divide the funds up equally his district
would actually be entitled to two percent
more than they currently receive. He
said that District 1 would be the district
that would face the worst cut if the funds
were not distributed evenly. The commissioners
said that they are looking out for
the county as a whole. They want to
improve the roads for everyone.
At that point Harrison said he was only
speaking about forestry funds. He then
continued by talking about violations found
in the recent audit such as equipment procurement,
missing equipment and forged
documents and referred to the 2008-09
audit and a number of other things including
alleged EEOC violations for improper
hiring practices.
The commissioners pointed out that a
change over audit had been conducted, by
the State Auditor's office.
Harrison said a full investigative audit
needed to be called for by the commissioners
in order to "clear the air." He said that
the Tea Party believes that more problems
would be discovered if a full investigative
audit were conducted.
A back and forth between Harrison and
Commissioner Lance Smith ensued during
which Harrison asked Smith several questions
directly about not being in compliance
with the disbursement of federal
funds. Harrison indicated that Smith
wouldn't answer those questions. He later
stated to Harrison directly that he did not
believe that any federal funds had been
Smith stated "I have sat here for the last
10 years, worked diligently for the people
of LeFlore County. I feel like I've been a
part of a lot of accomplishments for this
county. I've worked very very hard to try
an obtain a lot of goals here in the county.
. . and you come down here and just almost
like with a venom you spew out after us.
We try to work with the people's money
diligently . . . we use it for the roads, to
fund the offices, to try to do the very best
we can with it. . . we just had an audit, like
I said, from the state auditor's office. If
there's any criminal negligence found in
that audit, you can ask the district attorney,
they always turn that over to the district
attorney and they will attach state statutes
to those criminal negligence's when they
turn it over to the D.A.'s office."
Harrison said the group has gone through
every step of the proper process to try and
get the investigative audit.
"All that it would take today, is for two
of you to vote for an investigative audit or
for you to request an investigative audit
and we could have one."
Smith asked Harrison if he was prepared
to pay for an investigative audit. The commissioners
have long contended that the
expense of a second audit isn't necessary
given that an audit was just completed and
the county is already in a budget crisis.
"No sir, but I'm paying for the $500,000
that you and your cohorts have mismanaged.
It was not a mistake, it was by
intent," Harrison said.
The commissioners along with County
Clerk Kelli Ford took offense to the statement
by Harrison and he was informed that
his five minutes were up. He had actually
been allowed to speak for approximately
10 minutes. The crowd asked if the commissioners
were going to call for an audit,
to which Smith advised, he planned to
make a motion to adjourn. Several members
of the crowd expressed their frustration
that a vote on the audit wasn't going to
be taken.
The crowd felt that the audit that was
conducted was not for the purpose of looking
for criminal actions. Smith reiterated
that if violations on a criminal level had
been found during the audit the State
Auditor's office would have had no choice
but to notify the DA's office of those violations.
According to Smith a new audit could
cost the county as much as $40,000. The
commissioners continued to answer questions
from the audience. Several stated that
they believe that the commissioners we
currently have are honest men but they
didn't like the way that the meeting was
conducted. One audience member went so
far as to say that their concern was with
former commissioner Carroll Wayne
Rogers in District One. Rogers was not reelected
and hasn't been in office since
January 2011. The crowd assured the commissioners
that their qualms were not with
them but with Rogers and what took place
while he was in office. They were not trying
to place blame on anyone else, they do
want an audit because they want the chance
to recoup funds from Rogers by charging
him criminally. LeFlore County Assistant
District Attorney Marion Fry was also on
hand to answer questions from the crowd.
Ford also answered several questions to
attempt to explain that they have no way to
change the way the purchase order system
works. If her office isn't called to ask for a
purchase order number they have no way to
know that a P.O. has been issued.
"When you have somebody that's not
turning them in there's nothing you can do
about that," she said. "We are trying to
straighten things out but it's not going to be
done overnight. We are doing it by the law on
the P.. system."
She said that every office in the state that
uses the Kelpro numbering system does it the
same way. It was also pointed out that businesses,
by law, are not supposed to sell products
or services without a P.O. number.

LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. — Are you putting regular or premium foods in your tank? What you put in your stomach may affect not only your energy levels but your overall health.
Similar to how a car's performance is affected by the type of gas put in it, the human body's performance can either be increased or decreased depending on what type of food it's fed.
Now, one may wonder what types of food contribute to fatigue and drowsiness throughout the day.
Examples of foods that aren't nutrient rich are fried foods, refined sugars and cereals, processed meat, candy and chocolate, and high-fat dairy products, according to Jae Allen, livestrong.com writer.
"Junk food is known as such because its nutritional value is typically outweighed by the dangers it poses to your overall health,†he said.
Foods that are not nutrient rich provide plenty of calories, but what does it do to your body in the short and long terms?
"Combining a diet high in junk foods with a lack of exercise and poor appetite control greatly increases your risk of becoming obese,†Allen said.
The effect of eating foods that provide little to no nutritional value can be devastating to the body, but on the other hand eating foods that are rich in nutrients can improve one's health.
"Eating clean in the long term can reduce the risk of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and kidney disease,†said Sherri Biringer, 56th Force Support Squadron fitness specialist supervisor. "In the short term you'll notice the difference in your energy levels, body function, sleep and overall attitude.â€
Comparable to a car, fueling your body with nutrient-rich foods may cost a bit more, but according to Biringer it's worth the cost.
"It may cost more to eat healthy, but in the long run it will save you money on the health costs and drugs to fix the diseases caused by eating badly,†Biringer said.
To decrease the craving for processed foods, Biringer suggests consuming lean meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts and some healthy fats.
"Try it for two months; your body will adapt and the cravings for processed foods will lessen, if not go away altogether,†Biringer said.
Eating healthy can also help maintain weight goals.
"Eating healthy foods will help you maintain a healthy weight,†said Debby Mayne, livestrong.com writer. "If your diet is high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean meats and other proteins, you will reach your ideal weight and be able to maintain it.â€
According to Mayne, eating healthier can also improve your mind and help you feel better.
"You will think more clearly, have better muscle tone and get more done so you can have more time to enjoy leisure activities,†she said.
Mayne recommends making positive lifestyle changes to benefit health instead going on 'diets' that may set one up for failure.

Southern Girls
Three women at different stages in their lives but who share a common bond: they want to make their lives better. Joan is going through a lot in her life and marriage. Things turn for the worst and she and her husband consider divorce. One day Joan re-discovers the 10 commandments. She starts to believe that the 10 will solve any problem that anyone might face. She creates a club for women called SOUTHERN GIRLS. She calls it Southern Girls because it has been said that the girls of the south are the most wholesome. In this club women meet to figure out how they can be better women for themselves, their families, and society as a whole.

how about making some heavy duty mail box posts. (easy to make). use scrap pipe, or tubing, all available on the cheap. hand sand/paint then sell online or setup in back of your truck on side of road. You probably got enough scrap laying around to do a couple.

You might also want to get a hold of the chamber of commerce in ****inson. I done some prairie dog hunting around the Medora area and they were a were a very big help. They can also put you in touch with the cattleman's association.
That area seems like a good location for a mobile rig. Quite a few good sized outfits running cattle in rough country. Cowboys are hard on equipment and despise doing anything that can't be done from horseback so you should be able to get some decent repair work.
Take a few days and see if you can get out to a ranch and see what they are doing. Think of how you can make their life easier. How they move their equipment and feed. Do they use portable corrals? What do they use to put out hay in the winter? Check with the dude ranches for some ornamental work.
If you want to keep mostly shop work might offer pick up and delivery service for equipment.
Build it bull strong, hog tight and horse high.

Saddle racks, furniture (headboards and small tables seem to sell well) buy the book about 1,000 things to make with horseshoes ( I initially mispelled it as *****shoes which might be even more interesing!) Home furnishings, truck tailgates, tractor implements, mirrors, picture frames, screen/security doors. All depends upon what sells in your area. I have a few pictures posted if you click on my name of some things that I sell. I also do a LOT of welding repairs and make a lot of money fixing broken stuff! From trailers and truck bumpers, to appliances, to fences and gates that other people installed poorly. Print up cards and go door to door letting people know what you are doing, start close to the shop.
Good Luck

You might want to try building some truck accessories (tailgates, headache racks, grille guards, etc.), BBQ cookers, gates (I make mine out of 2 3/8" tubing and they are **** for stout). Just a few ideas, hope this helps.

Interpretive Handbook
83261 :
Haemophilus influenzae Type B Antibody, IgG, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Haemophilus influenzae type B (HIB) is an encapsulated gram-negative cocco-bacillary bacterium that can cause devastating disease in young children including meningitis, bacteremia, cellulitis, epiglottitis, pneumonia, and septic arthritis.
One of the great advances in modern medicine has been the development of an effective vaccine against HIB. A patient's immunological response to HIB vaccine can be determined by measuring anti-HIB IgG antibody using this enzyme immunoassay (EIA) technique.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assessing a patient's immunological (IgG) response to Haemophilus influenzae type B (HIB) vaccine
Assessing immunity against HIB
As an aid in the evaluation of immunodeficiency
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An anti-Haemophilus influenzae type B (HIB) IgG antibody concentration of 0.15 mg/L is generally accepted as the minimum level for protection at a given time, however, it does not confer long-term protection. A study from Finland suggested that the optimum protective level is 1.0 mg/L postimmunization.(2) Furthermore, studies have shown that the response to HIB vaccine is age-related.
By testing pre- and postvaccination patient serum specimens, this test may be used to aid diagnosis of immunodeficiency.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This assay does not provide diagnostic proof of the presence or absence of immune deficiency. Results must be confirmed by clinical findings and other laboratory tests.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
> or =0.15 mg/L

Hey guys, I'm sure there aren't any/many interested, but thought I'd post, esp since there's big time cash ($7000 added so far) in the tournament this year, unlike past years w/ normal tunout. packs, and payout. It seems there are quite a few touring pros who will be there between NT stops.
I know there was one guy up @ Central Park who said he was thinking about coming up for the Challenge when i was down there earlier this winter, but thought I'd post for all to see.
Actially, it's called the First Class Challenge now, because of the added cash/sponsorship.

Winter Activity, Ski Touring and Snowshoeing Holidays
Many different factors contribute to the difficulty of a particular holiday, including the daily walking distance, the terrain, the altitude and weather conditions. Since some of these factors can change, our grades can only provide a general indication. We have tried to make our grading system as clear as possible.
Each of our adventure holidays is graded on a scale of 1 to 12, with 12 being the most challenging. These grades are divided into YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE and RED sectors on the grade symbol and described here. In addition to reading this information and the individual holiday description, it is very important that before booking any holiday you should read the appropriate holiday dossier. If you have any questions about the nature of a particular itinerary or its suitability for you, please contact the KE office.
Suitable for most people in good health, holidays at this grade include only limited amounts of activity. Any elements of walking are predominantly on good paths.
Suitable for reasonably fit individuals, such as weekend walkers, holidays at this grade generally include relatively short walking days at moderate altitude, on good paths and tracks. There can be the occasional more difficult day.
Physically challenging holidays, where you need to be prepared before you go. Holidays at this grade are suitable for regular hill walkers who are used to extended days and can involve difficult and sometimes glaciated terrain, as well as lengthy periods at high altitude.
Our toughest holidays, involving many long days, often in isolated areas and at extreme altitude. May also include difficult pass crossings, requiring basic mountaineering skills and equipment. A high level of fitness and previous wilderness and mountain experience is essential.

In case you have not heard, America is now officially the most obese country in the world! We now have two out of three people overweight, and almost half of them officially obese. Obesity is not something to take lightly, pun intended. But you already know that. What I want to tell you is this: it ...
Last week, 275 members (see vote tally here) of the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of H.R. 1599, the DARK (Deny Americans the Right to Know) Act. By voting for the DARK Act, these politicians voted against truth and transparency, against science, against the more than century-old right of states to legislate on matters relating to food safety and labeling. They voted against the 90-percent of Americans who are in favor of mandatory labeling of GMOs. They voted against the producers of non-GMO foods. They voted against you. Now that the DARK Act has been approved by the House, we'll have to stop it in the Senate. We have to move fast—because Monsanto is desperate to pass a bill that preempts mandatory GMO labeling laws at the state and federal levels, before Vermont's GMO labeling law takes effect next year. H.R. 1599 was sold to Congress via multi-million dollar public relations and lobbying campaigns built on lies and deception. The bill's sole purpose is to support an industry—Monsanto's poison-peddling industry—that was founded on lies and deception from the get-go. Were the Congress members who voted against you fooled by Monsanto's slick, deceitful packaging of this so-called "Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act"? Or did they simply vote with their wallets, stuffed full of biotech and junk food industry cash? We d ...

The Monsanto Protection Act is back – and worse than before The biggest threat to GMO labeling that we've ever seen could soon become law if we don't act now. Republican Congressman Mike Pompeo, Monsanto's hand-picked representative in Washington, has combined his anti-GMO labeling bill, the "DARK Act," with the Monsanto Protection Act – and it's even worse than before. This newly revised Monsanto Protection Act would not only prevent states from enacting their own GMO labeling laws, but it would go even further by nullifying all existing restrictions on GMO crops already on the books.(1) This unbelievable power grab by Monsanto and its Republican pawns is quickly making its way through Congressional committees and could be up for a final vote by the end of the month. We must take action now to prevent Congress from passing this assault on our fundamental right to know what's in our food. Tell Congress: Stop the new Monsanto Protection Act.

Easy to use and quiet. It's my new toy! He put it together in about 2 hours tops. Of course, I immediately tried it out and was on it the first night for about 20 minutes. This Hybrid Trainer really does give you a workout, and the pre-programmed workouts are fantastic for getting you in shape. I would highly recommend this product.
