Hi, my name is Henry, and I've been a summer intern at a cool company called 123certification Inc. They currently design and sell welding simulators.
I was just posting here to try and get some views and opinions about whether current welders of all different levels of serious (hobbyists, experienced welders, teachers and instructors) think this is a cool concept that you might be interested in, that you consider a constructive innovation that will improve welder training and that might garner more interest in young people to become welders by profession. Currently, 123certification's product allows you to "virtually" weld using 5 of the different processes including GMAW, SMAW, GTAW, FCAW and MCAW. Basically how it works is that you have a real weld torch attached to a machine with a screen, you put on a real welding mask that has 3D goggles built in, and you see yourself in a welding training room, and are able to practice welding with 9 different welding assemblies (more are being developed) including the T-joint, butt joint, lap joint in all positions.
Basically the concept of the simulator is to allow new welders to practice and learn in a safe and comfortable environment, and allow the college or program that is teaching them to conserve on materials and energy. So it is both a money saver and a tool that makes welding seem more accessible to young people. It is only getting better and more refined everyday, but it currently focuses on the basics and to teach the hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity required for all good welders. It is meant to build a strong foundation (and make the student feel comfortable) before proceeding to real and more complex welding. It also has built in a powerful instructor guidance tool that allows instructors to set up welds and create a learning program designed specifically for each student. It also gives extensive feedback on each aspect of a student's weld to show them where they need to improve.
I'm coming to these forums as a young person going into first year university, and I wouldn't be doing so if I didn't honestly think this is a very cool idea. I've been told that there is a large shortage of new welders worldwide, and I think this could be a way to garner new interest. I know that welding is a fundamental profession for human infrastructure and projects and robots will never be able to replace human welders, especially in cramped or on-the-fly locations like welding repairs on oil pipelines or underwater.
What do you guys think about this? Would you consider trying it yourself? Recommending it to new students?

No way. It's not the real deal. You won't get the feel of the stinger really, the sparks flying all the stuff that really happens. I wouldn't think that this could ever duplicate the real deal. The only thing I think this would be good for is show and tell. I've seen O/A lines on fire and an 0/2 bottle do a little dance. Would it show this and how stupid someone could be? Sorry to say I think it would be useless as an actual educational product.
Welcome Henry.

Hi, thanks for the response. I know a lot of experienced and older welders are skeptical of this, but think of airplane simulators. I'm sure at its inception everyone was skeptical too. But now, pilots can get fully certified, military pilots, just from practicing with a simulator. I'm not going to say that welding simulators are at that level (yet) because they are still quite a new concept, but as someone that had no interest in welding, trying the simulator gave me a great feel, and it does have sparks and the darkness, maybe not the toxic gases and actual danger, but its not meant to do that at this point. Its meant for introductory welding to supplement and speed up a new welder's training. And they are only getting better. As an 18 year old, I can say the simulator is what caught my eye to welding.

didn't Lincoln have something like that last year or two ago they show ?
but anyways simulators are great IMHO for beginners / students to learn welding techniques and even provide common issue scenarios to weld and maybe to certifications by testes. But like anything goes nothing beats real live hands on experience in this profession. Even though it might have seen in TV/Movies, playing Xbox flight simulators hardly qualify you to be a pilot. They would still require you to have logged flight hours and ground school.

I agree, there are a few simulators that have started to come into the market and are still pretty basic. Of course you are going to need some real hands on experience, the simulator isn't meant to replace real training, but to supplement it to make a students training, faster, more enjoyable and more enticing (its designed to attract more young people to welding as a profession). I'd love to hear more thoughts, as since I've never actually welded I can't compare the two experiences, but I do know that the simulator has more value than some of the skeptics seem to think.

The idea of a simulator sounds great, as a part time instructor I think it would be beneficial just purely based on cost of material. I think it could shorten the learning curve for first time welders.

Airplane simulators exist because airplanes cost mucho bucks, a good welder is only a couple grand for each unit. Also, if a pilot fails while training, he is dead, if a weldor fails during training, you grab some more metal and try again. The consumables and electricity used in training are not expensive either. I also feel that welding us all about real world problems and conditions that would not be possible to reproduce. Such as a contaminated piece of metal that leads to a porous weld, or like someone already said, getting hit with slag and spatter and having to still produce the proper finished product. This might be ok for teaching hand eye coordination but I really don't see how this could be any sort of a stepping stone to use as a foundation for proper welding technique. Kind of back to my original point, I really doubt this simulator could be cheaper than just buying the real units, so why would you bother? Just pick up the real deal and burn metal until your good.

I'm just an intern at the company so I can't say definitively whether the welders will be marketed to individuals, but for a community college or other institution that trains and educates new welders, buying one or two machines that last 10 years or more will definitely economize if they are teaching groups of 20+ students every year. You only need a few simulators to teach many, where as you need new materials for each person for each weld, every single year. There is definitely a cost savings by going the route of the simulator. In terms of the risk of welding, make no mistake, there are risks if you do not set up the equipment properly and take the necessary safety precautions. The simulators isn't just to eliminate the risk, but to stop the intimidating factors of welding from scaring off prospective new students until they become more comfortable. They can practice with no risk before they even need to learn all of the safety stuff. They can get to welding much faster with a simulator, instead of taking classes on how to be safe.
there have been quite a few threads on welding simulators... you might do a search and do some reading...
I am personally unconvinced that it makes any sense when the real thing is so affordable... and nothing beats the real deal.... My guess is that the tactile and audio visual will fall woefully short of the real thing..
You totally lost me at intimidation factor???.

American 'Idol' takes Nashville by storm (Created February 13, 2013)
With a deep, velvety baritone and charming good looks, Scotty McCreery captured the hearts of America to win the tenth season of FOX television's "American Idol." Whether tackling the emotions behind classics like George Strait's "I Cross My Heart" or the fist-pumping affirmation of Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying," McCreery placed a stamp on his own credibility by staying true to his Southern roots.
Born and raised in North Carolina, McCreery was a bona fide country tenor by the time he reached middle school. By high school he had joined a traveling vocal ensemble and auditioned for "American Idol" in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by singing Josh Turner's "Your Man" and Travis Tritt's "Put Some Drive in Your Country." And drive he did, all the way to Hollywood and into the winner's circle of the famed reality show, with his coronation single "I Love You This Big" immediately released to radio. Behind it came his debut album, "Clear as Day" released on October 4, 2011. It sold 197,000 copies in its first week, making him the first country act to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with their first studio album, as well as the youngest male artist to open at the top of the chart with a debut release.
McCreery's other singles, "The Trouble with Girls," and "Water Tower Town" carried him through 2012 but failed to make a significant climb up the country charts, landing at 17 and 38 respectively. He also recorded his first Christmas album, performing in the "Christmas in Rockefeller Center" special broadcast on NBC on November 28.
McCreery graduated from Garner High School in 2012 and is currently attending North Carolina State University. While continuing to balance music and education, he is beginning his first tour as a headlining artist on weekends only, which kicked off February 14 at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center in Bethlehem, PA.
Good Golly, It's Scotty

One of the most bizarre contrasts in the region is Cooter's Dukes of Hazzard museum and the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, perhaps the most respected institution of its kind in East Tennessee, both of which advertise on Gatlinburg's famous Parkway. The 1940s building on right, used by Arrowmont but not considered part of campus proper, may be removed by new development.
The Gatlinburg Space Needle, visible from Arrowmont's campus, is one of just a few clues that you're not in the deep woods.
In Arrowmont's pottery studio, students of all ages watch a demonstration in the "Porcelain Pots – Form, Finish, & Fire" workshop. The shelf above the window, which holds samples of pots thrown by visiting masters, is known as the Boneyard.

Though not old enough to be one of the school's National Register historic buildings, it was designed by well-known modernist Hubert Bebb, who won an American Institute of Architects award for its design in 1973. (Bebb was later associated with another building several miles to the northwest called the Sunsphere.)
Arrowmont's gallery, which is open to the public, exhibits current work. Its shows are often reviewed by arts publications. In the center is Jason Hess' "Teapot with Cups."

Gallery: Jardin Serge Gainsbourg: Paris' New Urban Park Bridges a Highw...
The ring road at the Porte des Lilas created a disconnect between two neighborhoods, so the city of Paris sought to bring them together. A design competition yielded a successful plan from local firm Territoires, who proposed bridging the gap with a new urban garden. The project is organized around a large open area in the center that includes a dedicated lawn and a wild meadow area. The center also holds a large pond which collects rainwater runoff (in addition to a large underground tank, which stores water for irrigation).
Jardin Serge Gainsbourg provides a variety of spaces for all sorts of activities including play, relaxation, reading, socializing and recreation. A pathway meanders from one side to the other to connect the neighborhoods and the spaces in the park together. A convenient bus stop serves the neighborhoods and encourages more pedestrian activity. The garden was completed in 2011 and it's a great model for how cities can take back space for the people despite the need for transportation infrastructure.

1963 team to be inducted into basketball Hall of Fame
Fifty years ago, Loyola played one of the most important games in the history of college basketball. On Tuesday, it was announced that the entire 1963 Rambler team will be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame.
The 1963 squad—the first college basketball team ever to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame—officially will be inducted on Nov. 24 in Kansas City, Mo.
- More coverage of the announcement in Athletics.
- Visit Loyola63.com
to see articles from the 1963 season.
- Read stories
about the team at ESPN.com and USATODAY.com.
"The induction of our team into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame is a tremendous honor for all of us," said center Les Hunter, a member of the 1963 Loyola team. "We are very proud and humbled by this great honor."
When Loyola faced Mississippi State in the 1963 NCAA tournament a half-century ago, it did so with four African-American starters, a rarity in the civil rights era. Mississippi State, by contrast, featured an all-white lineup and was banned from playing integrated teams. But the Maroons (as they were called then) left Mississippi under the cover of darkness to play the Ramblers in the Midwest Regional, a game that would become known as the "Game of Change."
After beating Mississippi State, the Ramblers went on to win the 1963 championship, becoming the first—and only—team from Illinois to win the men's NCAA basketball tournament. But the 1963 team's impact went far beyond the basketball court.
As ESPN.com reporter Dana O'Neil wrote in a 2012 profile of the team:
"When flashbulbs popped at the historic handshake between African-American player Jerry Harkness from Loyola and Mississippi State's Joe Dan Gold, everyone realized that their March moment was far bigger than a basketball game."
"That game, if you ask me, was key," Harkness told ESPN.com last year. "I felt like it was the beginning of things turning around in college basketball. I truly believe that."
In addition to winning a national championship and playing an important role in the civil rights movement, the 1963 Loyola team also excelled in the classroom. The starting five of Harkness, Hunter, John Egan, Ron Miller, and Vic Rouse earned a total of 11 college degrees. When the entire nine-man roster is factored into the equation, that number jumps to 19.
And now, they can all add Hall of Famer to their resumes.

A nonpermeant compound, [(dimethylamino)methyl]acrylo-para- [(hydroxy-benzoylsulfonyl)-oxy]phenone, inferred by in vitro studies to specifically inhibit EGF receptor function, was introduced by in situ electroporation into mouse NIH3T3 fibroblasts growing on indium-tin oxide-coated glass. Cells were subsequently stimulated with growth factors and assessed for activation of a downstream target, the extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK1/2), by probing with highly specific antibodies. The results showed that this compound can inhibit EGF- but not PDGF-mediated ERK1/2 activation in vivo, demonstrating the specificity of this compound and the utility of the in situ electroporation approach for the study of tyrosine kinase action in intact cells.

The Cavs lost to the Wizards at home last night, 99-95. The Cavs kept it tight all game, and even had the lead after the half. I don't think it's that important (at all) that we lost. Given the proclivity for coaches to play rookies and bench warmers big minutes, preseason games can hardly be a legitimate indicator of regular season performance. However, preseason is the first time we get to see the Cavs play, and it's definitely a showcase for players to impress and prove themselves.
From the get-go, Tristan Thompson was the most impressive player on the floor. He was aggressive on both ends of the floor, putting up 18 points, 10 rebounds (8 offensive!), 4 blocks, and shooting 6-7 from the free throw line. He was insanely active on the offensive boards, overpowering or over-jumping the Wizard boxing him out time and time again. Of course, that probably has something to do with the fact that the frontcourt he was going up against consisted of Jan Vesely, Kevin Seraphin and Shavlik Randolph. But, hey- 8 offensive rebounds is impressive regardless. By the way, I checked it out and Shavlik Randolph, does, in fact, appear to be a real person.
Kyrie's jumper was off all night, as it has been for most of the preseason so far, but he partially made up for it with 7 assists, most notably a sweet alley-oop to Tristan that has the Q rocking. There was also a wicked spin move and floater off the glass, the kind of move Antawn Jamison used to fail at spectacularly on the daily. I'm not worried about his jumper in the slightest, and I don't think anyone should be. The form is still there, and he should pick it up again soon.
Varejao gave the team what he always gives the team: 11 points, 10 rebounds, great defense and hyper-activity on both ends. I'll understand if Chris Grant trades him, but he is so gosh-darn effective. Dion Waiters and C.J. Miles were both ineffective and unexciting, with a caveat or two: Waiter's fast break explosion past Beal was fun, and Miles did shoot 2-3 on three-pointers. Alonzo Gee finally had a nice game, shooting 4-7 from the field for 13 points. But a single rebound isn't going to cut it from him. Zeller, Gibson, Sloan and Leuer (sounds like a law firm, don't it?) were all competent to some extent.
As a team, the Cavs looked fairly fluid offensively. Kyrie facilitated well throughout the game, unsurprisingly. Sloan played some decent ball backing up Kyrie. The Cavs had a great game down low, with 54 points in the paint. That was mostly due to Tristan Thompson and Anderson Varejao's activity on the boards, and some nice interior passing.
The team defense was less pleasing. Rotations to the shooter were mostly awful, and as a result of that, Brian Cook scored 14 points. That's unacceptable, much as Jan Vesely shooting 5-5 from the floor is unacceptable. Waiters, especially, needs some serious help in one-on-one defense. Bradley Beal put 14 points easily, and Dion often looked lost. Tristan seems to have grown defensively, though, and the added weight definitely helps. He looks quite a lot thicker.
Overall, it was a solid effort from the Cavs. Save Donald Sloan and C.J. Miles, the outside shooting was off all night, and that played a large role in the loss. 54 points in the paint will win you most games. Tonight just wasn't one of them. With Byron Scott bellowing at them daily, I'm confident this team will start to execute and win some games.

Thanks for Subscribing!
Use Code: at Checkout!
Hurry! Expires !
When placing your bare root orders, please be aware that AS SOON as the trees/plants are available to ship (Dec. for trees, Jan. for plants), we will begin shipping IMMEDIATELY - no matter where you are located !!!
There are several factors why we must ship immediately:
When your order arrives, you should remove it from the outside elements before nightfall. If you will not be present at the destination when the order will be delivered, you should either ship the order to another location or make sure someone will be there to take care of your order.
While your order is hardy enough to withstand freezing temperatures in its box, you definitely should not leave it outside in sub-zero temperatures for days on end.
AS IMPORTANTLY, you then need to open the box, remove the trees/plants from their plastic bag, store them in a basement, cellar or garage, covering their roots with sand, dirt, sawdust or wood chips (do not use cedar that is toxic to the trees) and keep them moist until you are able to plant them in the ground in Spring.

Blackberry vines prefer deep, well–drained, fertile soil and typically bear fruit on 2–year old wood with everbearers producing on first–year wood. Erect and semi-erect types of vines can be grown with only minimal support such as a post, trailing types need more support. Blackberries tend to spread by tip layering so unless you want more blackberry vines cut back long vines before the tips reach the ground and root. These brambles thrive in most soil types but they do not tolerate poor drainage.
Blackberries are versatile and hardy in the coldest climates where other fruits fail. Plant late winter to early spring. Space 2'–3' in a row with 8'–10' between rows. Sold by the individual plant.

Only months after the French government banned the wearing of burqas in public (as in London, photo), police in Australia have announced that they will begin to require suspects to remove their head coverings so that their identities can be confirmed.
The French ban on the burqa came into effect in April, with punishments that emphasized assimilation into French society; as The Telegraph reported at the time the ban went into effect, the penalty for wearing a burqa is a "fine of 150 euros (£133) and/or a course of citizenship lessons. A man who forces a woman to go veiled will be fined 30,000 euros (£25,000) and serve a jail term."

Rates in the United States have decreased by more than 50 percent, from approximately 14 new cases per 100,000 in 1973 to eight cases per 100,000 women in 1994. Due to this dramatic reduction in the incidence of invasive cervical cancer in industrialized nations, cervical cancer now ranks among the less common female malignancies in the United States. Moreover, recently in some developing countries, age-adjusted cervical cancer mortality rates have decreased due to improved organization of national cervical cancer screening programs and more-efficient utilization of existing resources.
Early detection of cervical cancer is essential, and these reductions are mostly due to the popularization of the Pap smear. Pap smear cervical screening has been accepted by gynecologists as a standard of gynecologic care for years in spite of lack of prospective randomized trials specifically looking at mortality from cervical cancer as an end point. I t is unlikely that further trials evaluating the value of Pap smear screening cytology will be conducted.
Cervical Cancer Risk
Carcinoma of the cervix and its precursors usually occur among women who are sexually active. At the present time, the most important risk factor for cervical cancer appears to be genital infection with high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), which is usually acquired sexually. Commonly accepted risk factors related to sexual activity and associated with cervical cancer include:
- Early-onset of vaginal intercourse
- A greater number of lifetime sexual partners
- A history of sexually transmitted diseases including HPV infection
Additional factors associated with the risk of cervical dysplasia (abnormal changes in the cells on the surface of the cervix) and cervical cancer include:
- Smoking
- Age
- Nutritional status (women with diets low in fruits and vegetables may be at increased risk, and overweight women are more likely to develop adenocarcinoma of the cervix)
- Immune function (HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, damages the body's immune system and puts women at a higher risk for HPV infections)
Cervical Cancer Screening Tests
Both liquid-based and conventional methods of cervical cytology tests (the study of cells found in the cervix) are acceptable for use in screening. Liquid-based cytology (e.g., ThinPrep®) may have improved sensitivity over conventional Pap smear screening, but at a higher cost. Liquid-based cytology also permits testing of specimens for HPV, which may be useful in guiding management of women whose Pap smears reveal what are known as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, or ASCUS. The role and utility of HPV testing as an alternative or in addition to Pap screening continues to evolve. Adding HPV testing to conventional screening may be beneficial.
Most medical societies and organizations agree that screening cytology with the addition of HPV-DNA testing (if both the cervical cytology and the DNA test are negative) should occur every three years. This combined testing is most appropriate for women age 30 and older because HPV is common in younger women and frequently is transient, resolving in one to two years. Women who have undergone a total hysterectomy, with removal of the entire cervix and without a history of cervical dysplasia or cancers, do not require any further Pap tests.
Our Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines
First Screening
Our doctors recommend that women have their first cervical cancer screening at age 21, regardless of their age of first sexual intercourse.
Women up to Age 30
For women up to age 30, our doctors recommend cervical cytology testing (which can include Pap smears or liquid-based cytology) every two years.
Women Age 30 Years and Older
For women 30 years and older, our doctors recommend one of the following three screening options:
- Cervical cytology testing (which can include Pap smears or liquid-based cytology) every two years.
- Women who have had three negative or satisfactory annual cytology tests may be screened with cytology every three years.
- Cytology plus HPV-DNA test. If both the cytology and the DNA tests are negative, screening should occur every three years.
In addition, women of any age who are immunocompromised due to organ transplant, HIV infection, chemotherapy for cancer, chronic steroid use for chronic renal or bowel disease, or who were exposed in utero to DES (a nonsteroidal synthetic estrogen drug) should be screened annually.
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Vaccination
Globally more than 5 percent of all cancers are attributed to persistent infection with oncogenic (cancer-associated) HPV. Approximately 274,000 women die annually from cervical cancer, mostly in developing countries where screening by Pap smear is not widely available. The development and broad utilization of the HPV vaccine can have a significant worldwide public health impact.
It is well established that having persistent, high-risk HPV infection in the lower genital tract substantially increases a woman's risk of developing cervical cancer. High-risk HPV types 16 and 18 are associated with 70 percent of cervical cancers worldwide. Also noteworthy is that these two high-risk types are found in more than 80 percent of cervical adenocarcinomas and adenocarcinoma in situ, which are increasing in rate and are particularly difficult to detect by cytology, histology, or colposcopy. Oncogenic HPV infection is associated with other anogenital cancers in both men and women, including vulvar, vaginal, anal, and penile cancers.
Although not considered cancer causing, HPV types 6 and 11 are associated with 90 percent of anogenital warts, the most common sexually transmitted disease, now affecting 20 to 30 million American men and women. The transmission rate of HPV to the female partners of men with penile warts is high, with more than 70 percent of women developing a genital HPV infection after exposure.
In June 2006, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a prophylactic, quadrivalent HPV vaccine for females aged nine through 26 years. The vaccine is effective against four HPV types — 6, 11, 16, and 18. This human papillomavirus L1 virus-like particle vaccine offers protection against squamous cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancers as well as dysplasias, adenocarcinoma in situ, and genital warts associated with these HPV genotypes. The vaccine is given in three injections at zero, two, and six months.
The Federal Advisory Committee on I mmunization Practices recommends that the vaccine be routinely given to females aged 11 to 12, but can be given as early as age nine. The vaccine can also be administered as a "catch-up" vaccination for women ages 13 to 26 who did not receive the vaccine earlier. These recommendations have also been endorsed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American College of Pediatricians. The American Cancer Society (ACS) concurs except in the case of females 19 years and older, since the ACS analysis concludes that there is insufficient evidence to recommend catch-up vaccination of all females over 18. Although studies in older age groups are under way, the concern is that the majority of females over 18 will have already been sexually exposed and possibly already infected, resulting in decreased efficacy of the vaccine.
More than 27,000 women worldwide have been studied with several years of follow-up. These studies have demonstrated continued safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity (eliciting an immune response) against the oncogenic HPV viral types 16 and 18, as well as protection from types 6 and 11. Over an average follow-up time of three years, women who were negative for HPV 16 and 18 and received the vaccine demonstrated 98 percent vaccine efficacy for the primary end point of HPV-16- or 18- related cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2 and 3, adenocarcinoma in situ, and cervical cancer. (A neoplasia is an abnormal formation, or growth of cells, that may lead to the development of a tumor.)
Although most HPV infections clear with time, the regression is dependent on an intact immune system. Immunodeficiency associated with HI V infection, organ or bone marrow transplants, immune-suppressive drugs such as chemotherapy and steroids, as well as the immune senescence of aging make it crucial to identify women who have persistent, oncogenic viral types. The usefulness of the HPV vaccines in these groups has not been established; clearly, regular Pap test screening should continue as well as high-risk HPV testing in combination with the Pap test in women over 30 when appropriate.
The potential to eradicate cervical neoplasias and reduce the incidence of other cancers with continued Pap screening programs and widespread HPV vaccination initiatives is significant. The most effective time to immunize is before the virus is acquired through sexual intercourse (approximate age of first intercourse in US females is between 15 and 16 years of age), prior to peak acquisition of multiple sexual partners (ages 15 to 24), as well as at an age when the vaccine produces the most robust immune response (ages 11 to 13). The safety of the vaccine has been well established. Reports from the first 11 months of US distribution have yielded an overall adverse event rate of 33 in 100,000 doses, with serious adverse events in 1.8 out of 100,000 doses.
Further investigations are needed to determine the efficacy of the vaccine in males, older women, and the immune-deficient patient. Nor is it known how long the immunity will last. Results of ongoing studies in males and older women are anticipated in the next few years. While these issues are under investigation, more than six million Americans are newly infected with HPV each year. The debate about the mandatory use of the HPV vaccine and its prevention of sexually transmitted diseases is difficult for many, but also offers an opportunity for parents and educators to start the discussion about responsible sex. For now, the message is clear: Vaccinate early, and continue to screen with Pap smear regularly.
Recommendations of National and Specialty Organizations for Routine Immunization with Quadrivalent HPV Vaccine
The ACIP recommends routine vaccination of 11- and 12-year-old females with three doses of quadrivalent HPV vaccine; the vaccination series can be started as young as age nine. Vaccination is also recommended for females aged 13 to 26 years who have not been previously vaccinated or who have not completed the full series.
ACOG concurs with the recommendations of the ACIP.
AAP concurs with the recommendation of the ACIP.
SGO "strongly supports and endorses the decision made by the ACIP."
ACS recommends routine HPV vaccination of 11 and 12 as well as girls as young as age 9. HPV vaccination is also recommended for females aged 13 to 18 years to catch up on missed vaccines or to complete the series. At this time there is not enough evidence for or against vaccination of all 19 to 26 year old females in the general population.
The Gynecology Disease Management Team at Memorial Sloan Kettering supports the recommendations of the ACIP, ACOG, and the SGO for HPV vaccination. We strongly recommend that regular Pap screening be continued for all women, even those who were vaccinated.

Big Man Japan (Dai-Nipponjin)
A middle-aged slacker living in a rundown, graffiti-ridden slum, Daisato's job involves being shocked by bolts of electricity that transform him into a stocky, stick-wielding giant several stories high who is entrusted with defending Japan from a host of bizarre monsters. But while his predecessors were national heroes, he is a pariah among the citizens he protects, who bitterly complain about the noise and destruction of property he causes. And, Daisato has his own problems--an agent insistent on branding him with sponsor advertisements, an Alzheimer-afflicted grandfather who transforms into a giant in dirty underwear, and a family who is embarrassed by his often cowardly exploits. A wickedly deadpan spin on the giant Japanese superhero, "Big Man Japan" is an outrageous portrait of a pathetic but truly unique hero.

Grand Canyon National ParkA jewel in America's national park system, the Grand Canyon extends its incomparable majesty for more than 200 miles across the desert highlands of northern Arizona. Designated a national park on February 26, 1919, the Grand Canyon is one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World. There are 4 main points-of-interest to see, each several miles from the other. The Hualapai Skywalk is not in the Park, but is worth seeing. Park Info and Maps.

Top 10 Things-To-Do Nearby Grand Canyon National Park
Flagstaff and Page, AZ, and Kanab, UT, are key gateway cities for people visiting this national park. The Grand Canyon's North Rim is relatively close to Zion, Bryce and Lake Powell and fits nicely into a multi-park tour. Most commercial Grand Canyon tours originate in Las Vegas, which is the closest major city.
This majestic chasm of vermillion cliffs, purple abysses, golden temples and rushing waters ranks among the most astonishing landscapes on earth. The reaction of people when they look over the Canyon's edge runs from fear to awe to reverie to delight. "I fainted when I saw that awful-looking canyon," sniffed one 19th Century tourist. "I never wanted a drink so bad in my life. Goodbye." A little less dumbstruck and a little more love-struck was the poet Carl Sandburg, who described the drama of a Grand Canyon sunset: "There goes God with an army of banners."

Since CHS is really focused on handling text clips i recognize that most current users probably don't have image capturing as a top feature need, but i am interested in hearing what people thing about the importance of this feature. If/when it gets added it will of course be optional.
So, what do you think?

The Steelers are sort of a wreck—"total panic mode," as one player says. In response, a reported players-only meeting that produced a new rule: no one with less than four years of NFL experience is allowed to play table tennis and billiards at the team's training facility. This will solve everything.
Via City of Champions, the veterans held a meeting yesterday in an attempt to right this listing ship. The thinking apparently goes that an 0-2 team shouldn't be wasting valuable hours doing fun things. Or at least, not the new guys.
Jory Rand of KDKA was at the training facility and tried to track down details on the new rule, but was largely unsuccessful.
1 change to come out of Steelers veterans meeting yesterday is younger players arent allowed to play pool or ping-pong during business hours— Jory Rand (@JoryRand) September 19, 2013
Signs were posted all around the locker room announcing the change. I tried to get veterans to talk about it but few were willing.— Jory Rand (@JoryRand) September 19, 2013
I asked Ryan Clark if the signs were new. "Did you see them there yesterday?" He would only add it was their meeting not a public meeting.— Jory Rand (@JoryRand) September 19, 2013
Ike Taylor coyly talked of punishments for breaking rules, but wouldn't say what rules were broken, nor what the punishments would be.— Jory Rand (@JoryRand) September 19, 2013
Were not allowed to take a picture of the sign but Ill get the specific wording (assuming theyre still up) in the locker room after practice— Jory Rand (@JoryRand) September 19, 2013
I believe at the very bottom of the sign, there was something like "Signed by the Steelers veterans." I'll have to double check it.— Jory Rand (@JoryRand) September 19, 2013
The signs didn't last long. Either the rules weren't approved by management, or someone doesn't want attention drawn to them.
Signs have been removed from the Steelers locker room. Was done while the team was out on the practice field.— Jory Rand (@JoryRand) September 19, 2013
Yesterday the Post-Gazette reported that receiver Antonio Brown angrily confronted offensive coordinator Todd Haley on the sidelines during Monday night's loss. I don't know what he's so upset about. He's in his fourth year—he gets to play pool.

Recipe by Debra Steward
"Easy and creamy chocolate fudge frosting. Tastes heavenly. Use on cooled devil's food cake for a death by chocolate experience."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/2 cup
1/4 cup
1/3 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups
confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons
1 cup
hot fudge topping
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
I substituted 1/2 T half & half for the milk, and used about 2/3C of Nutella instead of the fudge for the most amazing chocolate hazelnut buttercream EVER. Really. It's not overly sweet, just perfect. Great texture, too.
We used Hershey's hot fudge topping (and I usually prefer Smuckers) and the taste of the hot fudge was very noticeable. Needless to say, I didn't care for this recipe because of that. However, I think I might try this again with Smuckers. Also, I put in 3 tbs. of milk, and it was way too runny. So be careful with the amount of milk you put in! THe frosting was very creamy and smooth though. And it didn't dry up all hard like the Hershey's recipe for chocolate frosting.

Excellent Frosting, very creamy. However...I omitted the fudge toppping (I did not have any on hand). It turned out very well.
I really was a little skeptical about trying this using the hot fudge topping as an ingredient-but I am glad I did. What a great frosting. I used heavy cream instead of milk and I used Dove-dark chocolate topping and it was so yummy. I put it on the "fabulous fudge chocolate cake" recipe from this site and WOW what a chocolate fix for a chocolate lover! I agree with another reviewer that it doesn't set up well on a hot day with high humidity-so I stuck the whole cake in the fridge after I iced it and it set up well. I took it out 20 minutes before I served it and it was great..Try and make a day or two in advance because chocolate anything tastes better a few days later when the great chocolate flavors come out!
Beautiful frosting, creamy smooth and fudgey, but I would caution that it's evident this will only be as good as the fudge topping you use. This is not a deep, rich chocolate which I liked, especially for the banana cake I chose to use it on. But it's easy enough, however, to increase the cocoa powder and decrease the powdered sugar by the same amount if you wanted a deeper, darker frosting. The texture is especially excellent.
I have been searching for a chocolate frosting recipe for over 4 years now. Every recipe I have tried ends up tasting like the store bought kind. I hate the store bought kind. This recipe is wonderful! I used it on my son's birthday cake and everyone loved it (me too for once). I can't wait to try it on my deep dish brownies. I used butter shortening instead of regular, cream instead of milk, and double the vanilla - voila! The perfect chocolate frosting recipe...
You absolutely must make this frosting! It is one of the most scrumptious chocolate frostings I've ever tasted in my life, and I've never been a big fan of buttercream frosting. I frosted a yellow cake with it, and everyone devoured it. Fudgy, rich, and delicious.
Prepared a B-Day cake for Dad using the Hershey Chocolate Cake Recipe and this frosting. The result was excellent. The frosting had good color, was easy to make and spread easily. Guests returned for seconds and thus I had no leftovers. I made a sheet cake and there was enough frosting. If I had made a layered cake I would have doubled the recipe.

text: It's no secret that the Dolphins are known for having the most fickle fan base in the entire NFL. There are other teams who have fewer wins then we do and yet they fill their stadium. Remember when we didn't even sell out a home playoff game against the Colts when Wanny was head coach??!! A HOME PLAYOFF GAME!!! THAT IS TRULY PATHETIC!! And we won the damn game with a bunch of empty seats in the stadium. Dolphin fans won't truly appreciate their team until they get an owner that moves the team out of Miami. Sometimes I wish they would move to a place that has more appreciation.
