Looking at getting a Passport Plus to add to the race team. I was looking over the owners manual and didn't see anywhere on how to fill internal bottle. Can you fill them when you hook up external or do you have to take them to the LWS? Can you get extra bottles to have on hand in the pit cart or do you have to carry bigger external to keep filling? How long whould a internal bottle last under (normal) HAHAHAHA welding conditions? Thanks

You can refill them yourself and that may be an good option for you but as Rezeppa said they are the paint ball CO2 cans and I've seen them in the box stores now since they are used as Portable Compressed "Air" for nail guns etc etc.
Most welding shops don't seem to stock them or refill them but yer local paint ball supply shop will do it, at least around here they do.

Fill it yourself CO2.
I have a Passport Plus and love it. Here in Canada, Canadian Tire sells the 12 Oz Paintball Cylinders at thier stores, and the ones they sell even have a level indicator (Thermal Tape that shows internal liquid level and even the floating ball rolling around inside) on the outside of the cylinder. I have a total of 3 tanks. They last for quite a long time, especially doing fit-up on railings and such where you cover a lot of ground doing tacking, up and down stairs and such.
As far as filling them yourself, Canadian Tire (and other paintball suppliers) sells an extension hose and cap assembly so you can use a larger (20 Oz) cylinder on your belt and feed a gun. That with a couple of fittings, valves, and a CO2 tank adaptor, along with a digital "Fish Scale" that reads in Ounces is all you need to fill from a 20 Pound CO2 Tank that is inverted and safely held of course.
Look on the internet and there are several videos showing how to fill these tanks. Basically youhave a hose with a ball type fill valve and a vent valve. You flow a small amount of liquid into the empty tank and then vent it quickly to super cool the tank, then with the fishing scale set to read ounces and zeroed while suspending the tank, add liquid until 12 Ounces is displayed. That's it, your done, just DO NOT overfill. That is where the tanks with the thermal indicators are really nice as a double check both when filling and also in the field.
Here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7cqiPnk4JQ you do NOT need to vent off as much as he does, (about 8 Oz) but enough to properly chill the bottle. If you come up short in the fill, just vent some to re-chill the bottle and add some more. As he does, if you have too much, just release a little. After you have done a couple, it is really quick and easy.
Have fun, save a bit of money, and really enjoy the portability of the Passport Plus to the fullest, tank that is!
Passport Plus Question???
If you check online, mostly eBay, people sell the refill set ups for paint-balling. They work very well, you fill them off of a larger CO2 cylinder and you can get a lot of refills off of a small cylinder.

There are goblins, an altar full of vampires and a zombie exhibit, but what supporters of the Haunted Garden in Silver Spring fear most is the witch hunt they believe is happening to their neighbor.
Donna Kerr goes all out decorating her yard for Halloween. But a temporary restraining order signed Friday by Montgomery County District Court Judge Patricia Mitchell has put her plans in purgatory.
Neighbors of her 9215 Worth Ave. home worry narrow roads in their Seven Oaks Evanswood community won't be able to handle the thousands of visitors Kerr expects to come view her free display.
A hearing in Montgomery County District Court is scheduled for Tuesday to see if the order should be lifted or the event should go on as scheduled. The Haunted Garden was expected to open to the public Oct. 19.
"Halloween for me is one of my favorite childhood memories. Standing in line going to the haunted houses in the neighborhood, and it was a really good time," Kerr said. "Kids just enjoyed so much. It is just so great to see kids coming with their families."
Supporters of the event said the restraining order is a "bit of a witch hunt," and at this point Kerr is being "bullied."
"I wish that people against would spend time doing something constructive," said Jennifer Locke, a neighbor who lives across the street from Kerr.
Amy Cress' backyard is right behind where the Haunted Garden takes place, and she does not see anything wrong with the event.
"It hasn't been a problem as far as I can see. We are really frustrated that it may not happen," she said.
A neighbor, one of 19 people who signed the complaint, refused to comment and asked not to be identified, "It is an awkward time right now."
Kerr opened her first Haunted Garden in 2010 after decorating her yard for a humane society fundraiser.
To get the word out about the garden the next year, Kerr used her company website Pure Energy Real Estate and email mass mailing list. In 2011, she was cited by Montgomery County Department of Permits for having her company sign and logo as part of the display in a residential zone.
That year an estimated 2,000 visitors came to the garden, said Diane Schwartz Jones, director of the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services. Under county regulations, only two visitors are allowed in a permitted home occupation in a residential zone.
"The multi-day promotional event creates issues of pedestrian and vehicular safety and impacts on parking availability for residents within the neighborhood," Schwartz Jones wrote in an email to The Gazette.
Schwartz Jones also said there are differences between the Haunted Garden and people who decorate their houses for other seasons.
"If I decorate my house, I do not send it on a business flyer to every house in my zip code. ... Pure Energy and Ms. Kerr were told last year that she could decorate her home. She could not use it as a business promotional event."
Last year, Kerr again hosted the garden and again was cited for hosting a business promotion at her home and violating the county's zoning ordinance.
This year, Kerr said she set up a separate Facebook and website for the Haunted Garden, but fliers about the Haunted Garden include housing listings for her Pure Energy company.
On Friday she was given a notice of violation from the Department of Permitting Services for again advertising the haunted garden to the general public. Kerr refused to sign the notice.
The restraining order filed Friday stated the event could cause "immediate, substantial and irreparable harm to the county" and included concerns about pedestrians crossing a busy part of Sligo Creek Parkway to get to Kerr's house.
Kerr had to stop preparations and tell event goers on Facebook and on the Haunted Garden website she set up for her event that the Halloween exhibition is canceled for now. She's called for a public campaign to help her case via her blog and Haunted Garden Facebook page.
"Before the Haunted Garden I never had any trick-or-treaters. There is no other real community event," Locke said.
Cress also said she moved to the neighborhood three years ago and was part of all three Haunted Garden events.
"Kids are so sad that it is not happening this year," Cress said.

It's amazing what your ears will get used to...like the muffled sound that comes out of many factory radios. With the Clarion CZ202 handling your tunes, you should notice a big change in sound quality. The built-in amp does a nice job of giving you greater clarity and definition at any volume level. You can take control and tweak your sound too, with a 3-band parametric equalizer that gives you precise control over the lows, mids, and highs. Bass fans, rejoice If you're putting together a system, the two sets of preamp outputs make it easier to connect to an amp or powered sub. Plus, you can switch the rear output to subwoofer mode so you can dial in the right bass tone for your ride. Clarion even gives you an adjustable low-pass filter so you can get the best performance out of your sub. Want to keep your steering wheel controls?

Yes No Clarion CZ202 - nice upgrade from stock stereo Written By Meestar Jim, Modesto, Ca on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought this stereo to replace the stock head unit in my wife's 2001 Toyota Rav4. This was my first install so it took me about 45 mins to an hour from start to finish. Overall the install was super easy with the whirring harness adaptor I purchased with the Clarion CZ202. The sound quality is a huge improvement and being able to use her iphone5 via the mp3 jack or USB port is great as well. Haven't fired up Pangora radio on it yet but it looks pretty cool. Pros: Sleek display, easy install, removable faceplate, mp3/usb ports, not a lot of unnecessary features when you don't want them, inexpensive Cons: Only con I can think of is that if you don't read the directions you can get lost setting up the sound on the stereo...

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Overall, a good value for the price. Using the iPod through the use is a bit clunky. Pros: Easy to install, good sound quality, relatively easy to use without looking at the manual Cons: When using the iPod through the USB, there is no pause button and searching through the iPod's playlist is clunky.

Yes No CZ202 Review Written By POOPOO, Magic Town, VA on Wednesday, July 04, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value So overall this is a good unit. I could not believe the sounds difference between my ghetto Kenwood deck and this deck. My huge issue with this deck is that the firmware is not very impressive, folder navigation is terrible (my folders are artist then album), if the folder has no songs in it then it is ignored. The face that there is a gap between tracks when playing an mp3 cd is just brutal, any CDs with some nice flow are just destroyed. Overall if you are buying this deck and using it for CD playing, find another deck. If you are using it for USB and navigation is not important to you (or your not as anal as me) or if you are using the aux input, go for it. Pros: Great sound quality Nice bass control Looks real nice! Usb feature is cool Cons: Terribly navigation Pause between mp3 tracks 8 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Preset Stations: 18 FM station presets and 6 AM station presets can stored. Stations can be stored manually or automatically. Preset Scan: Preset scan receives the stations stored in the unit's preset memory in order. This function is useful when searching for a desired preset station. Local Seeking: When Local seeking is turned "On", only those radio stations with strong radio signal can be received. Audio Section MOSFET Amplifier: The Clarion CZ202 employs a MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) power amplifier capable of delivering 45W (Peak) x 4ch of high quality sound with superior linearity & less distortion than conventional power amps, even with the volume cranked up. CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the CZ202 are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. The power output specs for the CZ202 are as follows: CEA2006 Specs: 19 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N) Maximum Power Output: 45 watts x 4 channels (180 watts total) BeatEQ: BeatEQ lets you tune the sound to your liking, depending on the category of music, for a more fulfilling listening experience. The Clarion CD receiver provides 4 preset EQ curves (Bass Boost, Impact, Excite, Off) and 1 custom EQ curve. Bass Boost emphasizes the bass portion of your music; Impact emphasizes the bass & treble portions of your music; Excite emphasizes bass, midrange & treble portions of your music; while Flat sets the bass, midrange, & treble to 0. The Custom EQ lets you freely customize the frequency, Q-factor, and level of the bass, midrange, & treble. BeatEQ settings are applied to all sources. BeatEQ (Custom Mode) Frequency Q-Factor Level Bass 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, or 200Hz 1, 1.25, 1.5 or 2.0 -7 to + 7 dB Midrange 500Hz, 1.0kHz, 1.5kHz, or 2.5 kHz 0.5, 0.75. 1.0, or 1.25 -7 to + 7 dB Treble 10kHz, 12.5kHz, 15kHz, or 17.5kHz N/A -7 to + 7 dB Magna Bass EX (Extend): The Magna Bass Extend feature does not adjust the low frequencies like the normal sound adjustment function, but emphasizes the deep bass frequencies to provide you with a dynamic sound. This circuit boosts bass at an ultra-low frequency of about 50Hz, creating a rich, deep, defined bass rather than the muddy, booming bass of a standard loudness control. What is more, boost levels are dependent on the system volume, resulting in balanced system response and dynamic bass reproduction. 4ch/2V Preamp Output: The Clarion CZ202 features 4ch/2V RCA line level outputs (Front/Rear). The unit's rear preamp outputs can be configured as a dedicated non-fading RCA subwoofer output with a low-pass filter and level control (+/-6). Low-Pass Subwoofer Filter: The Low-Pass Filter (LPF) for the subwoofer preamp output (when activated) will send only the low frequency range through the preamp outputs to ensure superb performance with a connected subwoofer. The low-pass filter can be set to 80Hz, 120Hz, 160Hz, or Through (full-range). Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off. Display Features Detachable Face Security: This unit features Detachable Face Security. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired. No face case is included with this unit. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can be purchased for this unit H.M.I. Design: Clarion's superior H.M.I. (Human-Machine Interface) Design features an easy-to-use rotary volume control and easy-to-read illuminated buttons on the face which are laid out in an asymmetrical design to place the most used features within a specific area for ease of use and less user distraction. High Visibility LCD: The single-line, 10-digit, high visibility LCD (with black background and white characters) on the CZ202 allows numbers and characters to be displayed clearly in almost any lighting condition. Illumination Dimmer: The receiver's display automatically dims to a preset brightness when the vehicle's headlights are turned on. The wiring harness includes an orange/white lead that should be connected to the vehicle's parking light circuit in order for the dimmer feature to operate. Screen Saver: This unit is provided with a Screen Saver function which allows you to show various kinds of patterns and characters in the operation status indication area of the display in a random order. You can turn this function on or off. If the button operation is performed with the screen saver function "On", the operation display corresponding to the button operation is shown for about 30 seconds and then the display returns to the screen saver display. Remote Control Wireless Remote: The CZ202 comes supplied with an IR remote control (RCX001) for wireless operation of the CD player. The remote operates off of a single CR2025 Lithium cell 3-volt battery. Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately).

Belarus gives BPC new legal structure, grants it potash export tax exemption until year-end
6:51 AM MDT | September 6, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Belarusian Potash Co. (BPC; Minsk), until recently an export cartel operated jointly by potash producers Belaruskali (Soligorsk, Belarus) and Uralkali (Berezniki, Russia), will be reoriented to coordinate Belarus's entire potash exports, according to a report from Belarusian state-owned news agency BelTA, quoting the presidential press service. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has signed a series of decrees establishing a new legal structure for BPC as well as granting it fiscal advantages for the rest of this year. Belaruskali said recently that it would...

Oberlack, C. & Eisenack, K., 2013. Alleviating Barriers to Urban Climate Change Adaptation through International Cooperation. Global Environmental Change, 1–14.
Abstract: International cooperation on climate change adaptation is regarded as one of the major avenues to reduce vulnerability in developing countries. Nevertheless, it remains unclear which design properties of international arrangements match with specific problems in local adaptation processes. This paper analyses conditions and institutional design options under which international cooperation can facilitate climate adaptation in urban areas in developing countries. We conduct a qualitative meta-analysis of empirical evidence from 23 cases. Using the archetype approach, we identify re-appearing barriers and change factors in urban squatter settlements and municipal public sectors in developing countries. We characterise five generic modes of international cooperation for climate adaptation based on UNFCCC documents, process observation, and literature review. Combining these analyses, we develop testable propositions that explain how specific design options of international arrangements can alleviate barriers and make use of change factors for urban adaptation in developing countries. We find, first, that international cooperation has the most potential to tackle adaptation barriers in squatter settlements if its institutional mechanisms support improvements of procedures and rights in localised state–society interactions. Second, national or regional centres of competence may foster endogenous dynamics in municipal public sectors. Third, national adaptation policies can enable and incentivise municipal adaptation. Fourth, flexible indicators of adaptation benefits are instruments to tailor international decision making and monitoring systems to local needs. We conclude that these insights, the archetypes approach, and a multi-level study design can be used to advance research on international cooperation, barriers, and success factors for climate change adaptation.

The great Arsenio Erico's career record brooks no argument: two Argentinian league titles with Independiente in the late 1930s, the top goalscorer in the country's championship for three seasons in a row, the leading scorer in the history of Argentinian league football along with Angel Labruna, and the greatest Paraguayan footballer of all time.
Dubbed El Saltarín Rojo (The Red Dancer) for his gracefulness on the ball, Erico was nothing short of an artist on the pitch. So balletic was he in his movements that he prompted the French novelist and playwright Paul Morand to exclaim "He's [Vaslav] Nijinsky!" when he saw him play.
The most elegant of penalty-box predators, Erico was the only striker of the day capable of inviting comparisons with the great Russian dancer. In an age when front-men were known merely for their brawn and bustle and ability to break the net, the Paraguayan attracted widespread admiration for his poise and ability to shake off opponents with feline grace.
But what endeared him to the adoring Independiente fans more than anything else, more than his 293 goals and trademark moves, was his ability to seemingly defy gravity and hang in the air, a gift which further strengthened the Nijinsky comparisons.
"He had secret springs hidden away in his body. He was a sorcerer, leaping in the air without an ounce of effort, and his head always reached higher than the goalkeeper's hands," wrote the Uruguayan author and journalist Eduardo Galeano, one of South America's leading wordsmiths, summing up the powers of a footballer who turned the game into an art form.
Adversity brings an opportunity
He was still very much in the process of honing those gifts when he made his Paraguayan first-division debut as a callow 15-year-old for Nacional in 1930. Born in the capital of Asuncion, the youngster had acquired a reputation in his local neighbourhood for his ability to juggle oranges with his gifted feet. Professional football was an entirely different challenge, however, as was playing at left-back instead of the advanced position in which he would make his name.
His elegant performances convinced his coaches to play him further forward before fate took a hand in his career in 1934. Paraguay was at war with Bolivia at the time, prompting Erico to join the country's Red Cross select XI, which embarked on a fundraising tour of Uruguay and Argentina, as part of which they were scheduled to play River Plate in Buenos Aires.
Enchanted by the young striker's skills, River's directors had designs on signing him, but were beaten to the draw by crosstown rivals Independiente. After persuading the Paraguayan Ministry of Defence to free Erico of his obligations as a conscript in a country at war, El Rojo completed the signing of a player who would put them in the record books.
Independiente quickly became a major draw, with the magical displays of their new Paraguayan recruit pulling the fans in by the thousands, even for training sessions. His fame grew steadily until 1937, when he achieved nothing short of superstar status by scoring 47 goals in 34 games, a single-season record that stands to this day in Argentina.
Erico was just one member of an Independiente front-line that would change the face of the game in Argentina, and with it the fortunes of the club. With the Paraguayan tormenting defences in the company of Juan Vilarino, Vicente de la Mata, Antonio Sastre and Jose Zorrilla, El Rojo turned on the style week in week out to romp to the 1938 and 1939 league titles.
The first of those two wins was their maiden league title of the professional era, in which they had previously finished runners-up five times. Such was their superiority that year that Erico even gave up scoring to win a big cash prize offered by the cigarette brand 43 to any player who could hit exactly 43 goals during the season.
He reached the mark with two games to spare. To make sure of collecting the prize, which he shared with the rest of the squad, in those last two matches of the season he would either turn back or pass the ball to a team-mate whenever he found himself through on goal.
Those were not the only occasions on which he turned down the chance to score, as he once explained: "Whenever we were well ahead in a game and I found myself in the opposition six-yard box, I'd turn round and dribble back towards my own goal, with my team-mates pretending to chase me. It was just a bit of fooling around to entertain the fans who packed out stadiums to see us play."
A man of many identities
Though the goals kept coming, he would win no further league championships in Argentina. After falling out with the Independiente directors, Erico returned home to help Nacional lift the 1942 Paraguayan title, only to go back to the Avellaneda club the following year.
By this time, however, torn meniscuses had undermined the abilities of the contortionist, who had acquired a seemingly end list of nicknames during his illustrious playing days: El Hombre de Goma (The Rubber Man), El Hombre de Mimbre (The Wicker Man), El Hombre de Plástico (The Plastic Man), El Mago (The Magician), El Virtuoso, El Aviador, El Duende Rojo (The Red Goblin), El Diablo Saltarín (The Dancing Devil), to name but a few.
He left Independiente for good in 1946, made seven appearances for Huracan and decided to return to Nacional once more, bringing the curtain down in his homeland on his 17-year career.
Strangely, the most talented Paraguayan to grace the game never made a single official appearance for his country. Too young to play at Uruguay 1930, his subsequent move to Argentina made him ineligible for La Albirroja under the rules of the time.
He died in 1977 following a retirement spent away from the football world, though few can doubt that Erico had already contributed more than enough to the game by the time he hung up his boots.

National team: -
Nacional (1930-1934), Independiente (1934-1942), Nacional (1942), Independiente (1943-1946), Huracan (1947), Nacional (1947)

2 Argentinian championships: 1938, 1939
1 Paraguayan championship: 1942
3 Argentinian league top goalscorer awards: 1937, 1938, 1939
Top scorer in the history of the Argentinian league: 293 goals
Erico once scored six goals in a game, his double hat-trick helping Independiente beat Quilmes 7-1 in 1937.
Argentina tried to get Erico to play for them at the 1938 FIFA World Cup France™, offering him 200,000 pesos at a time when a new car cost 5,000. The Paraguayan declined the invitation.

Sometimes I end up with a nice even coating of sugar on my lemon drop's rim (it's served in a martini glass). But most of the time the sugar is clumpy and uneven. What can I do to encourage a nice smooth professional coating of sugar on my glass rim?

The clumps come from too much liquid on the glass when applying the sugar.
The way I learned to salt a glass was to dip the glass upside-down in a shallow plate or bowl of water, let it drip for 5-10 seconds, then dip it into an evenly layered plate of salt. I think this should work for sugaring a glass.
Also I think use powdered sugar.

The lead counsel for the video game industry in the upcoming Supreme Court fight against California's proposed violent video game restrictions outlined the problems with the state's legal arguments in a recent public appearance.
Speaking at an intellectual property forum at Chicago-Kent University last week, Jenner and Block LLP Partner Paul M. Smith said that no matter how a state defines "extreme" violence in such laws, they will run into constitutional problems with vagueness.
"I've litigated nine cases in a row where states have tried to define the category nine different ways – and they always lose when they make this case because violence is considered a perfectly appropriate and normal part of what we give our kids to see starting from a very young age," he said.

A trip to Komodo National Park
Posted on : 30 November 2012
Categories : Adventure - Hiking, Trekking, and Eco
Before my trip to Indonesia I had heard of the famous Komodo Island and the Komodo Dragons that lived there. I didn't however realize that there was such a thing as Komodo National Park and that it occupied the "Komodo Islands" which consists of 3 big islands and several smaller ones in the area where Komodo dragons live and it is the only area in the world where they live in the wild.
The islands are Komodo, Rinca, and Padar and on our two night visit to the area we were able to visit the first two islands. Rinca is where we visited on the first day. Before making our way there I had heard that the dragons are attracted to blood and can smell it from 18kms away. The previous week in Borneo I had gotten a crazy bug bite on my leg that had now turned into an open wound. This worried me about the Komodo Dragons.
If you have any open wounds or for women if its "that time of the month" make sure you inform a ranger so that they can be aware and protect you. Also the bigger the group you travel in the better as it hides the smell of the blood, the more people you are with.
The first couple of dragons that we saw were stationary and not moving much. One was skinny and the second one was chubby and we had learned it had just killed and eaten a buffalo the day before. A full Komodo Dragon is one that is less likely to attack you. I preferred this one much more than the skinny one. We went on a hike around part of the island with the rangers, however I only went half way because of a previous ankle injury. The views of the ocean and other islands was gorgeous as was the island itself.
Lunch was prepared for us on the island and we ate at the rangers station. While there we also were taken to see a wild Komodo Dragon with two broken arms that he had injured when fighting with another dragon. When things like this happen in Komodo National Park they let nature take its course and not interfere or try to help the dragons. He was kind of sad looking. While there I was also able to interview a ranger who a few years previous had been attacked by a Komodo Dragon and survived. It was very interesting to hear his story and to learn more about him for the time being you will just have to visit my site. www.TravelYourself.ca
The second day of trip to the Komodo Islands we went to Komodo Island itself. As we stepped off the boats we were met by rangers and walked towards the ranger station. On our way we noticed many deer hanging around that didn't seem afraid of us or any Komodo Dragons. This was something that we hadn't seen on the previous island.
Immediately I could tell that this island had more Komodo Dragons than the previous, that or I was becoming paranoid that they were all going to attack me and have me for lunch. We hung out on a raised platform while a few Komodo dragons walked around and sniffed the air curious to who we were. There was a small fight between two of them and as everyone hung off the side of the platform to take pictures I stayed back, fearful of this dinosaur like creatures until we were ready to leave again.
At no point were any of us in harms way however just the idea of what could happen and knowing what has happened to others in the passed just kept me freaked out the whole time we were around the Komodo Dragons. It was definitely an experience that I am happy to say I can check off my bucket list however it is also something that I don't want to experience again any time soon.
Komodo Island and the National Park isn't all just scary dragons however, on one side of Komodo Island, the side where they say "The dragons never come here" is the famous pink beach. A beach that has been turned to pink from the red coral that grows in the ocean just off shore from it.
One of the top rated places to snorkel and scuba in the world Komodo Islands pink beach is not one to be missed. While at Pink Beach we had a BBQ lunch prepared for us ahead of time while some snorkeled and others explored the area and cliffs over looking the beach for a better view. It was definitely a relaxing way to end my two days being fearful of Komodo dragons.

Prevention of Osteoporosis
Prevention of Osteoporosis Introduction
Osteoporosis (porous bone) is a disease in which bones become weak and are more likely to break (fracture). Without prevention or treatment, osteoporosis can progress without pain or symptoms until a fracture occurs. Fractures from osteoporosis commonly occur in the hip, spine, and wrist.
Osteoporosis is not just an "old woman's disease." Although it is more common in white or Asian women older than 50 years of age, osteoporosis can occur in almost any person at any age. Building strong bones and reaching peak bone density (maximum strength and solidness) can be the best defense against developing osteoporosis. After reaching the peak, which usually occurs by the age of 30, a healthy lifestyle can help keep bones strong.
Osteoporosis is more or less preventable for most people. Prevention is very important because, while treatments are available for osteoporosis, no cure currently exists. Prevention of osteoporosis involves several aspects, including nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, and early screening.

I'm the proud new owner of a used Pitbull 50-CL I got cheap at guitar center, but it didn't come with a footpedal. Now VHT is Freyette, I'm not sure where I could get one. Could I use something generic if I can't get the real deal?

Pitbulls come with two different types of control connectors for footswitch functions. If your Pitbull uses the standard 1/4" TR connector like this one does:
Then you can use any 1/4" TR type footswitch to control the amp's functions. You'll want latching switches.
Now if it has this DIN-style connector seen here:
Then you're probably better off just contacting Freyette. Sourcing the right plug and wiring up a switch for the functions will probably cost you as much as a new one straight from Freyette. Freyette is a good company and I'm sure they'll be able to help you source one either locally, or get you set up with one from their stock. They still use the DIN-style connector on their newest amps.

Michael Schumacher's wife, Corinna, has given a positive update on her husband's condition following his move to a rehabilitation clinic.
Speaking publicly for the first time since the Formula One legend came out of his coma following his skiing accident in December 2013, Mrs Schumacher revealed that he is improving all the time.
"It's getting better, slowly certainly, but in any case it's improving," she told German women's weekly magazine Neue Post.
The seven-time World Champion was seriously injured when his head hit a rock while skiing in the French Alpine resort of Meribel and he spent six months in the Grenoble university hospital before being transferred to Lausanne in June.
Meanwhile Bild newspaper has reported that Schumacher is responding to his wife's voice.
"The voice of Corinna has a much stronger effect on him than the voices of other people," the tabloid wrote.
His family has kept updates about his conditions to a minimum with his manager Sabine Kehm saying "for the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye".

The Runaways follows two friends, Joan Jett (KRISTEN STEWART) and Cherie Currie (DAKOTA FANNING), as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. They fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (MICHAEL SHANNON), who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself—and so do its two leads: Joan is the band's pure rock' n' roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten.
The cast includes Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, Scout Taylor-Compton, Alia Shawkat, Stella Maeve, Riley Keough and Nick Eversman.

This plate is too small to deal with restraightening. Just tack the pieces in place, then jump/scatter weld it 4 times, go get a beer and drink it slowly, then come back and weld 4 more times, then go get a glass of water, then weld 4 more times, and get another beer......
And 3/8" welds aren't really welds, they are big tacks and prone to breaking if these bars are really necessary.
Also make sure you weld on both sides of the flat bar to keep that straight as well.
Results 11 to 20 of 23
Just a thought. You could drill some holes through top where the braces will be..maybe two or three per brace. From the bottom, weld the braces on the ends only with short welds and then spud weld through holes in top of plate. I would also use thicker than 1/8 " for bracesNick

You guys are funny, the guy has not even said what this plate is for and you are already saying his design is insufficient. How the heck do you guys know that 1/8 x 1 bar is too small for the task?

op: more info, things I have learned, & thanks to all that have responded!
The overall project is a cnc device.
It is my intention, once this frame is assembled, to Blanchard Grind the surfaces (so that they will be in the same plane) that the linear bearing rails will be attached to.
although, I do not need this robust design to accommodate the operation of this device (can't hurt though) I do need to have the sides stiff to accommodate the grinding process.
Please see the rocker indicators (in blue) in my sketch. This is the motion that I am trying to avoid.

forgot to indicate that 3/8" angle iron stiffener will be 4 places each side
by the way one of the most important things that I have learned is that I must drink beer when waiting for stuff to cool!
Not only can I do that, I can do it well.

Spool Gun conversion. How To Do It. Below.
Drawing heat away won't help. Welds warp because the WELD goes on at ~3,000degF, solidifies almost instantly at that temperature (locking the pieces together), and then shrinks as it cools rapidly to ~200degF. Due to steel's natural properties, this causes the WELD to shrink by about 2%. The longer the continuous weld, the larger that 2% becomes. Making it cool faster won't change anything but the speed at which it warps.
So the 2 ways to minimize warping are:
1) preheat the steel so it's already expanded close to what the weld will be as it goes on, and as they cool together, they shrink together, and don't warp;
2) weld in VERY short passes scattered across the length (AND on both sides, if possible) of the joint so that no one weld is long or strong enough to warp the base material, and so that the structure becomes locked together at many points along the joint before it has a chance to slide & bend.
Try it on some long straight scrap to test it.Walk softly & carry a BIG SIX ! ! !

avoiding heat warping......a call for your collective wisdom
Strong attachment at the outer ends of the crosspieces is all that is required to attain maximum rigidity. Continuous or many short welds would in no way add rigidity and would serve only to warp the flat plate.
Apply how you tighten a cylinder head to this problem.
Try beginning the weld at the center on each 16'' strip with a small weld, 1/2" on each side. After all center welds cool, ziz zag 1" welds at the ends of the 16" spars, every other one staggered side to side, let cool and repeat beginning at opposite end from first run of outside welds. I would add a linear spar centered on the 16" spars and rather than welding, attach it by cutting slots for each of the 16" spars to fit into & then lightly spot weld it only enough to keep it from falling out.
Actually, by using the slotted linear strip, the center weld could be omitted. The outer welds are all that is necessary to achieve maximum rigidity.
Another method would be to slot the cross braces so as to arrange an overlapping XXXXX and weld only the center intersect points to the plate. Be sure to leave enough space in the intersecting slots to avoid distortion of the flat plate. This is only a general idea that undoubtably can be improved upon.

The Hammer (2008)
Jerry Ferro's 40th birthday has brought his life into sharp relief and it's not a pretty picture. A once-promising amateur boxer--who quit so he wouldn't risk his perfect record of underachievement--Jerry has been knocking around from one construction job to another and spinning his wheels in an unsatisfying relationship, all the while with an eye toward eventually getting his act together. When venerable boxing coach Eddie Bell asks Jerry if he'd like to spar a couple of rounds with an up-and-coming pro, Jerry reluctantly steps into the ring and begins a hilarious fish-out-water quest for Olympic gold.

: BTW, any documentation of this happening? I mentioned it last night to Suz, RN, and she was skeptical that a person could have two sets of DNA.
Yep. And yep:
Take Karen Keegan, who discovered her chimera-ness at age 52. When Keegan needed a kidney transplant, she and her two adult children underwent DNA testing to figure out which kid's kidney would be the best match for mom. Surprisingly, the tests showed neither. In fact, according to DNA, Keegan's children weren't her children at all. The case confounded doctors for more than two years until, in 2000, the docs finally realized that Keegan's blood cells carried different genes from the cells in her ovaries---the long-absorbed twin was found.Oh, and yep:
Lydia Fairchild was pregnant with her third child when she and the father of her children, Jamie Townsend, separated. When Fairchild applied for welfare support in 2002, she was requested to provide DNA evidence that Townsend was the father of her children. While the results showed Townsend was certainly the father of the children, the DNA tests indicated that she was not their mother.
This resulted in Fairchild's being taken to court for fraud for claiming benefit for other people's children or taking part in a surrogacy scam. Hospital records of her prior births were disregarded. Prosecutors called for her two children to be taken into care. As time came for her to give birth to her third child, the judge ordered a witness be present at the birth. This witness was to ensure that blood samples were immediately taken from both the child and Fairchild. Two weeks later, DNA tests indicated that she was not the mother of that child either.
A breakthrough came when a lawyer for the prosecution found an article[2] in the New England Journal of Medicine about a similar case that had happened in Boston, and realised that Fairchild's case might also be caused by chimerism. . . .
Fairchild's prosecutors suggested this possibility to her lawyers, who arranged further testing. As in Keegan's case, DNA samples were taken from members of the extended family. The DNA of Fairchild's children matched that of Fairchild's mother to the extent expected of a grandmother. They also found that, although the DNA in Fairchild's skin and hair did not match her children's, the DNA from a cervical smear test did match. Fairchild was carrying two different sets of DNA, the defining characteristic of a chimera.
I'm actually kind of surprised that Suz has never heard of this phenomenon.
Oh, and consider that chimerism is only detectable when FRATERNAL twins merge into a single embryo. If an embryo separates into two embryos, producing IDENTICAL twins, and then the identical twins re-combine into a single embryo, no one would know that the one embryo had ever been two.

NAMI FaithNet Newsletter: October 2011
In This Issue:
Veterans Day and Beyond: A Time to Remember and Support
By Rev. Susan Gregg-Schroeder, NAMI FaithNet Advisory Group, Coordinator of Mental Health Ministries
On Friday, November 11, Veteran's Day provides us the opportunity to remember and honor all persons who have served in the U.S. military—past and present. We can make a difference in the lives of millions if we not only remember, but also reach out to support these men and women returning from combat service. Many service members return experiencing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a major mental health disorder, which is caused in this case by factors relating to enlistment in the military, including combat. A Rand Corporation study estimated that one in five U.S. service members who served in Iraq or Afghanistan will experience major depression or PTSD.
As more of our troops continue to return home, we are seeing an increase in combat stress, addiction, domestic violence and suicide. Too often the response to these serious mental health problems is silence, resulting in only half of those affected seeking treatment. As military doctors, officers and chaplains encourage service men and women to get help for PTSD symptoms, more are beginning to seek treatment. When diagnosed early, the symptoms can be treated and more significant problems can be avoided. Regardless of political views about the war, clergy and faith communities can be part of the support team for returning veterans and their families.
Here are a few ways faith communities can support military persons and their families:
For more information, NAMI's newest brochure on mental illness, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, covers the symptoms of trauma, treatment options and coping strategies for individuals living with PTSD and their loved ones. Written by NAMI Medical Director Ken Duckworth, M.D., it can also be used as a tool to help returning service men and women and veterans. Read the brochure online or purchase copies in the NAMI bookstore. In addition, NAMI offers Web resources via the NAMI Veteran's Resource Center, complete with support and information for families, veterans and active duty military experiencing mental health issues and a Web resource on PTSD.
For Some, Faith is a Powerful Partner in Mental Health Care
Citing studies that have found that spirituality helps many struggling with mental illness, MLive, an online collective of Michigan newspapers, recently featured a compelling article on faith as a powerful partner in mental health care. This article explores the view many churches have of treatment, the view many in the treatment field have of religion and the ultimate benefit of both to people who live with mental illness. Read the MLive article for the full story.
Mental Illness Awareness Week an Opportunity for Congregations
Despite a vivid, negative childhood experience, Huffington Post blogger Monica Coleman, Associate Professor of Constructive Theology and African American Religions at the Claremont School of Theology, finds understanding in it. In October, Coleman offered encouragement and advice to faith communities, recognizing that they are "best-positioned to respond to the faith issues that arise for people who live with and love those who live with mental illness." Read her Huffington Post blog for the full story.
NAMI FaithNet respects all faith beliefs. It also recognizes the expression by the majority of those affected by mental illness of the importance of the role of their spirituality in their ability to cope with having one of these illnesses themselves or in caring for an ill friend or family member.

Why wont God heal amputees or other maladies medical science hasnt figured out yet?
I responded to what other people posted by reading what they personally expressed. Your routine is to present nothing but videos of other people spouting their personal philosophy. Now you are taking offense because I refuse to view the videos.
I don't have a problem with people making their own original statements, after which they back it up with weblinks from their sources. You do nothing of the sort. You simply post a video without telling anybody what you personally feel. Your entire argument is based upon what somebody else opines in their video.
I don't mass enroll on message boards. I join a couple at a time. When I decide the community is not for me, I ask the moderators to cancel my account. If they refuse, I simply abandon the account. Many of those websites you see me registered at are abandoned accounts that I haven't been on for months.
While we're on the topic of proselytizing, what do you suppose atheists do on these forums--besides trying to force atheist philosophy down the throats of theists? At just about every single website I've ever been on, the atheists overrun the Religion forums and out-number believers. They start up thread after thread attacking God, Christianity, and the Bible. If that's not proselytizing, then I don't know what is.
So you're not a Dolphin fan but rather some mass Religious troll?
As a Moderator myself, you may not have to ask us to deactivate your account.
The story of Job disproves the existence of "god" in a biblical sense.

I prefer to hear than to read. It's not original because it's not MY idea, it's John Marco Allegro's idea, one of the few people on the planet qualified to interpret The Dead Sea Scrolls, he uses biblical verses in support of his ideas, of course you wouldn't know that though as you refuse to watch anything I post.
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
All of a sudden it is a requirement that all those who join this website should be Dolphin fans. I read the Rules carefully before joining and did not see any mention of that requirement.
Your above statement in red is the exact reason why I don't engage moderators on religion forums. It is also the reason why I don't stay very long at most forums. The minute a moderator starts pushing his/her weight around, trying to act cute, I leave. I neglected to elaborate in my message to ROB19 the reason why I've abandoned all those accounts where you see me registered. It's because of arrogant moderators like you who feel it's your privilege to insult regular members and then threaten them with banning.
So now I'm a "mass Religious troll." And as a moderator, according to you, I may not have to ask people in your position to deactivate my account. If that's not a threat and a warning that I must now walk on egg shells, I don't know what is.
I can see now why there aren't too many theists on this forum. They are concerned their account will be banned if they express themselves by opposing atheists at a forum that is moderated by atheists. That's pretty sad.
If you think being a moderator on a website gives you power over the lives of others, you need a reality check. You need to get a life.
You threatened me with banning in your message above, although I've broken no forum rules. It seems this thread about atheism being a religion is burning you up. A loser like you is in no position to intimidate me with threats about banning. You are petty. I want no further contact with you.
I'm out of here.
You may cancel this account at your pleasure as I will not be returning.
Yeap, definitely a troll job.
