Kidney Reflux in Children
Have you ever heard of vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR)? This is a problem that I have be seeing lately which occurs in the urinary tract.
In the normal scenario urine is produced in the kidneys and then travels through the ureters (which are like a straw) from the kidneys to the bladder. The urine is supposed to only proceed in one direction, and only down and into the bladder and then out the urethra when you urinate. But in some children, the kidneys are fine and doing their work of making urine but the ureters (the straws) allow the urine to go in a retrograde fashion (both up and down, or back and forth or whatever terminology you want) from bladder to kidney, ;and this is termed vesico ureteral reflux (not to be confused with gastro-esophageal reflux). Vesico-ureteral reflux is often diagnosed in infants and young children who present with prolonged fever which may be an indicator of a urinary tract infection. When a child under the age of 2 has persistent fever (usually over 72 hours), without any other focus of infection, a urinalysis and culture is often performed to rule out a urinary tract infection. It is also more prevalent to see this occur in little girls rather than in boys. If a urinary tract infection is confirmed it was previously the standard of care to perform a VCUG (voiding cystourethrogram) which is a radiographic study where dye is injected via a catheter into the bladder to look for retrograde flow of urine (the back and forth, up and down) to rule out VUR. In the past several months there have been changes in the management of VUR especially as it relates to first urinary tract infections.
The new recommendations state that, children of any age, regardless of gender, with a first febrile UTI should undergo a renal/bladder ultrasound, rather than a VCUG. In other words, no more radiation and dye (not to mention the associated trauma) that went along with the voiding study. Years ago a VCUG was performed without any sedation, but over time it became standard to sedate the children before this procedure, and with that there were other issues about safety etc.. It was also recommended that a VCUG be done yearly to watch the regression or progression of reflux. That yearly VCUG just sent some kids and parents over the edge (including me!). The concern with VUR is that over the years this retrograde flow of urine could cause damage and scarring to the kidneys. This scarring could cause numerous problems (high blood pressure, kidney disease etc) for a child later in their life. The problem was figuring out who might go on to scar and need surgery etc.. The new guidelines recommend using a different type of scan in management of reflux. If your child has a urinary tract infection in association with a fever you might want to discuss whether they should see a pediatric urologist, and/or have an ultrasound. But if someone mentions a VCUG consider the newest guidelines. And, if you have a child with VUR, talk to your doctor about the changes in management and don't stress about a VCUG this year! That's your daily dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow.

I'll note I already have:
> A solid mask. I managed to luck out and got a mask in a package with anti-fog. It's comfortable enough and no fog so I have absolutely no problem keeping it until it runs its course
> Ninja 68/4500 Carbon Fiber Tank
> No feeding hopper yet(but I intend to get one as well)
Okay. So I'll start out by saying I actually love my 98c. I got comfortable with the mechanical aspect of it, and I like the reliability. With my 98c and my J&J barrel I pretty much have to do zero maintenance during an entire day of playing, not even cleaning my barrel; and I haven't had a single break in the marker since I've had it(since about the beginning of the year).
On the otherhand my brother-in-law got a Fenix after many recommendations and while the gun itself performs fine he seems to experience a blown o-ring every single time we go out and play. It got bad enough he considered returning it and getting another marker. His cousin also got a speedball marker, but I sadly don't remember which one he got, and he had an absolute horrible experience with it. I really wish I could remember the name but it had eyes and all the apparently measures to prevent breaks in the marker, but they still happened EVERY single round. It was so bad that he had to sit out every other game just to completely strip and clean out his marker because it was getting so filled with paint it wouldn't shoot anymore. He eventually ended up just playing with a back-up marker we had laying around. So those experiences have left me a bit wary with upgrading to electronic/speedball markers.
I'll also note that I, myself, am on a budget as far as paintballing goes. I can't afford to pour paint all over the field constantly with the ramping and such speedball markers offer. So rate-of-fire is of no interest to me. So on top of that, as far as hoppers go I intend to get one of the cheaper ones; my interest is more about upgrading from gravity fed than keeping up with high fire-rates.
So what can you suggest for that range(~$200)? What should I know about speedball markers and such if I upgrade to them? What about the experiences with my brother-in-law and his cousin's markers? I've heard great things about the Fenix around these forums reading, but his experience wasn't as great. I want a good, quality marker, and more importantly one that is reliable. I love the reliability in my 98c and I love the mechanical feel, but I'm also aware most around here feel upgrading from a Tippmann to another Tippmann is a waste of money. Also what to do about my barrel? It was only $30, and I know that's chump-change as far as paintballing/barrels go, but would if I get another marker would it be cheaper to just get another barrel or look into converting attachments?

Guidelines when posting in the Buy/Sell/Trade Section:
General Guidelines
1 - If you're not a seller or a potential buyer, please DO NOT reply to a thread unless you're trying to correct some blatant misinformation. Any posts that are not directly about the item or an attempt to Hijack the thread will either result in the post being edited or deleted all together. It would be better to PM the member if you have to ask them a question or give them suggestions about their item.
2 - If you feel an asking price is too high or too low for a particular item, please DO NOT post your opinion in the thread!! If you are so disgusted/offended/aghast at someone's pricing policies, please feel free to send that member a private message informing him/her of your thoughts.
3 - Harassment of the B/S/T staff or any other Admins/Moderators doing moderation duties in the B/S/T forum will not be tolerated. Action will be taken if you violate this policy.
4 - No "feeler" threads. Items must be ready to sell when you post them. If you are unsure of the amount to sell your item for, PM one of the moderators and they will assist you. If you want to gauge interest in selling something, this is not the place to do it. "Feeler" or "Gauging interest" threads will be deleted immediately.
Posting Items
1 - If you are selling an item for more then
, you must post a picture of the item. If you are
a vehicle, you must post a picture of the vehicle. If a selling thread does not have a picture. The B/S/T Staff will tell you in the thread that you need one. Unique items, such as custom made items, must have a picture with the user name and date picture was taken. No Photoshoping or manipulating of items in pictures is allowed. If it is discovered, your thread will be deleted.
2 - Every item will have a price on it. There will be no Pm me for a price or This is an auction and will end at this time. There will be no secret pricing or different prices between different members. If you want to start an auction please go to eBay. If you are having trouble putting a price to your item, just put down what you think its worth. Dont forget you can always change your price if nobody likes the first price. If you are still having trouble please PM a member of the B/S/T Staff and they will give you the current market price of the item, or an idea at what it should go for.
3 - Your item must be ready to ship. You must post the location of your item and/or provide shipping quotes by PM. The only exception to the ready to ship rule is a yard thread. A yard thread is one where the author requests users to submit parts requests that they will then pick up at the yard. There can be minimal price/availability and other discussion in the yard threads. Yard threads must have a date to which the run will be made.
4 - Ebay Auctions: Anyone may post an eBay auction, it can be any auction from any seller. Since Ebay Auctions are open to the world, and the population of Di.net may or may not know the sellers, there can be limited discussion about the Auction.
5 - Tags: Each post in the B/S/T section after June 1st 2007 will be required to have a tag on it. You use the appropriate tag for the thread you are making. For example, if you are posting an item for sale, use the SELLING tag. If you are posting an eBay auction use the EBAY tag. Mis-use or non-use of threads and tags will result in the thread being deleted or edited.
6 - The word "dibs": Lately there has been some controversy with the word dibs. People have been jumping into threads as soon as they can to call "dibs." The word "dibs" is no longer allowed in any thread as of 8/30/2007. If you would like the sellers' item, it is up to you to contact that member for that item and work out a deal. We have had reports of members running into a thread saying dibs, then leaving the seller out for a whole week without payment, much to the dismay of other buyers who would like the item. You are still allowed to say "PM Sent" in the thread. It is up to the seller to figure out who to sell to. A seller does not have to necessarily have to sell to the first person who expresses interest.
7 -
You must have a minimum of 25 posts in the forum to post a thread or reply to one in the Buy/Sell/Trade forums and Dodge Intrepids For Sale.
Other Notes
Trader Feedback System - The DodgeIntrepid.net B/S/T area does use buyer / seller trader ratings. For a break down of how this works please see this thread.
Since we are all using seller tags we do not need to put F/S or WTB in the thread title anymore.
We think that these requests are pretty simple, fair and straightforward. If anybody has a problem with these, please feel free to send a PM to a member of the B/S/T Staff.
B/S/T Staff members include: crypt keeper, cdccmul, Railoffroader2, Trep Cruzin
Any posts/threads that we believe violates these guidelines will be edited/deleted without warning. By posting in the B/S/T section you have agreed to comply with these simple guidelines. These guidelines are subject to change with little notice. Please stay up to date with the newest version of the guidelines. Guidelines may be bent due to unique circumstances and with the approval a B/S/T Staff member. If such condition exists there will be a mod note in the thread.
Thank You,
Dodgeintrepid.net B/S/T Staff

Ellen White believes home advantage will give Arsenal the edge when they take on rivals Everton at Boreham Wood in the WSL on Thursday.
Laura Harvey's side go into the crunch game knowing a win will take them one step closer to being crowned champions and White believes the Gunners will be boosted by familiar surroundings.
"It's a massive game against Everton but we can take comfort from the fact that we are playing at home," she told Arsenal.com.
"We all love playing at Boreham Wood. It's our home ground and we are really comfortable playing there because the good pitch suits our style.
"Hopefully there will be a good crowd and they can help us."

Jechbi wrote:Hmmm ... there seem to be some conflicting and potentially confusing messages being delivered in this thread.
On the one hand, we have clear statements that the precept involves abstention:Ben wrote:Dan it wasn't just avoiding intoxication. It was abstaining.Ben wrote:If you are right, then the wording of the sila would be different. More like 'Don't become heedless and careless from taking intoxicants', instead, we see the word abstain
But then on the other hand, someone asks how the precept applies if the tasting of certain alcoholic beverages is approached as an exercise in mindfulness, and in that case we get this:tiltbillings wrote:catmoon wrote:Hmm. I am something of a Scotch whisky nut. I have special glassware for nosing, and examining a new scotch brings every sense faculty I have to a humming vibrating peak of intensity. Since drinking scotch in this way is an extreme exercise in mindfulness, how does the precept apply?
Just don't get intoxicated, inebriated, inebrious, drunk, tipsy, besotted, or crapulous.
So in some cases, according to this view, the precept applies as moderation, not abstention.
Those two views of the precept are incompatible.
I don't think Tiltbillings and Ben have different views, only different ways of expressing the same view. I'm sure both agree, as I do, that it's best to abstain from alcohol. Tiltbillings said what he did because it was helpful. Telling all people, "Alcohol is bad. Alcohol leads to rebirth in hell or mental disorder," etc., is not always helpful. I think that's the issue here: not so much what we believe, but what we ought to say in a discussion like this.

As the status of the therapist has shifted from that of an oversized figure with Svengali-like powers to that of an overworked and underpaid service provider at the mercy of the client-consumer who might sue him or her for some infraction, what are we to make of our traditional ethical codes?
Traditionally, psychotherapists have thought of ethics as a kind of Old Testament list of "thou shalts" and "thou shalt nots":
Thou shalt have no connection with the client-emotional, sexual, occupational, financial, social, Facebook-except psychotherapy.
Thou shalt not breach confidentiality and loosen thy tongue about the client or what happens in therapy, even to your spouse or closest friends, particularly after a few glasses of wine.
Thou shalt not blab on about thyself or thy family or thy marital status or anything else without an ironclad clinical rationale for the therapeutic use of "self-disclosure."
Thou shalt forego dual relationships with clients; neither a borrower nor a lender be with them, nor engage in joint business ventures with them, nor hire them as nannies.
Thou shalt not exploit thy privileged position with the client to further thine own personal interests.
In sum, thou shalt remember thy boundaries and keep them holy.
Detailed ethics codes emerged in the new and somewhat amorphous profession of psychotherapy because its practitioners weren't exactly physicians, priests, or friends, but some amalgamation of these, requiring their own behavioral guidelines. The basic idea of the codes was to keep the therapist-a potentially revered and intimidating figure with a powerful emotional influence in the client's life-honorable, trustworthy, and discreet.
Through the years, as therapy became more widespread and society more informal, some of these guidelines have become increasingly ambiguous. As the general public has come to regard therapists as just another kind of service provider, rather than a potential Svengali, the relative power of therapist and client has shifted, as well as the role of ethics. In fact, if anybody needs protection today, it might be the overworked and underpaid therapist, who's at the mercy of clients who might bring suit for some peccadillo. Society has become more litigious, and nightmare scenarios-whether realistic or simply hyperbolic-of therapists being hauled into court and their careers ruined for some presumptive transgression have proliferated. Getting ethics CEs has become a grim requirement, not only for licensure, but as some small protection against the looming threat of aggrieved clients and their lawyers, like a wreath of garlic cloves to ward off legal vampires.
Presumably, the great majority of us recognize the importance of behaving ethically with our clients and wouldn't engage in unethical behavior, even if we could get away with it. As therapists, we intuitively know we can't do good therapy unless we're trustworthy and dependable, respect our clients' confidentiality, and maintain decent boundaries between ourselves and them. What's not as widely understood is that the way we share our ethical vision with our clients is as important to the practice of therapy-to the entire process of therapy-as any treatment model or clinical philosophy. An acute sensitivity to ethical issues doesn't just protect the client from overt harm or us from liability; it gives us the framework within which we can do clinical work. Our ethical stance isn't an add-on to therapy, or even merely a protective shield for the client, though it certainly is that: it's the foundation of therapy itself.
The Importance of Safety
The central ethical concern in therapy, the one around which all the others hinge, is boundaries. I began to understand this 21 years ago (a decade into my therapy career), when I began a regular program of exit interviews with terminating clients, systematically asking them what they thought had been most helpful about their experience in treatment. I asked about the intervention, the relationship, the practical advice offered, the office decor, the ease of parking, and for any other feedback they had. Thousands of interviews later, with similar input about clients from numerous other therapists and agencies, the answer was overwhelmingly clear: regardless of why these clients had sought treatment, what they valued and remembered most was feeling "safe" in therapy.
The essential factor for clients to benefit from therapy was the sense that they'd entered a secure haven, which provided a time and space set off from the tumult and emotional confusion of their "regular" lives. There they could concentrate on doing the reflective, difficult work they needed to do to make the changes they desired for themselves. They required a guide who was empathically on their side, hopeful about their future, and open to their free expression of thoughts and feelings, but detached enough not to be sucked into their emotional morass. They absolutely needed to believe that what happened in therapy would stay in therapy, and that included the therapist. This meant the therapist wouldn't regularly pop up in their daily life, and they might allow themselves the illusion that the therapist never left the office and was always there waiting for them when needed. In short, this therapeutic safe house was built on a foundation of unambiguous boundaries, confidentiality, and hopefulness, conveyed by a trustworthy expert in a collaborative engagement suspended from ordinary life. These features of the therapeutic process emerge precisely from those boring old ethical rules and regulations that were established with the specific purpose of safeguarding clients' interests.

I'm downloading all available episodes now, could you update this thread or set up another one each time you bring out another one - like Hannah does with her zineshow?


text:
I'm fairly mobile for a telecommuter. Not in the sense that I have to constantly fly around to different cities. These days, I'd say I'm becoming more of the average remote worker, when before I was fairly ahead of the pack. Now I'm trying to get back to truly having an unwired work environment.
First change, a better cellphone. For all its capabilities, the Treo is still just too fat. It's certainly come a long way; years back I tested the very first generation pdQ (joint venture of Qualcomm and Palm) which was a total brick, felt almost twice the size in very dimension of the Treo today; (the Kyocera version is second or third generation of the pdQ). With Sprint the only decent non-Blackberry option I have right now seems to be the MotoQ (yes, I think Ed Zander's company needs a break these days). So that'll be the first trial. Nothing unusual there; the Q has been around for a while. The Samsung BlackJack might be nice, but I'm still looking to stick with Sprint because of I'm waiting for 4G to come around. Oh, and I'm gonna try the Seidio double extended battery. Even with the double thickness battery, it is still thinner by a few mm than the Treo, and only the battery compartment. I even tried blogging from the Q and the page loads up fast enough for it to actually work.
Oh if 4G would show up already and with a good phone and fair price tag... Sprint is still working on its WiMAX rollout starting in Chicago and DC and it's unlikely to come to our area till 2009 or after, I'm afraid.
Also to go with that is a bluetooth stereo headset (two over the ear cones with attached mike). This wired headset I have now just wastes time and adds frustration packing, unpacking. Plus something is starting to fail with it. The trade off for easy access is a limit to battery life. For a regular workday of about 4 hrs continous calls at minimum, the Plantronics Pulsar 590 seems like a good choice to test out which I found for less than half price online.
The laptop data access is another element. I need a separate service than use my phone as a modem since I'll be doing both simultaneously fairly often. I've been paying for T-Mobile access and scoping free WiFi sites, but with the IBM discount on Sprint service plans their unlimited traffic high-speed broadband wireless EVDO Rev A service comes out to cost the same. Better yet, I'm not stuck within limits of a single cafe. Back in 1998-99 I used to have the cellphone data service but it was far too slow for the multimeg files I have to send around daily. I'm hoping the 400-500Kbps up-transfer speed for this will actually work out for my needs. In another two years or so, I can bother looking into their 4G offering but this sounds good for now.
As for the computer itself, I think I'll stick with the laptop size and full keyboard rather than try to UMPCs. I realized just how much typing I do, and will have to (another book coming up). So the small keys just slows me down (and that again just adds to my frustration). This Thinkpad T60 works well enough for me now and even higher-end graphics needed for SecondLife seems to work--if I don't have my regular set of 15 application instances running simultaneously. The next one I might consider would be the convertible/tablet laptops, sacrificing some screen space for more versatility to draw images and diagrams.
Assuming I get kitted out well enough, it makes me wonder why businesses aren't paying more attention to a future (possibly idealistic) situation of access-from-anywhere in terms of their software environments too. This harks back to the notion of running apps over the net entirely... reminds me of my days at NC World magazine arguing for moving to network-based computing.

Business Mashup Challenge & Mashup Camp 4
IBM, Strikeiron, Kapow and Dapper are supporting a new mashup camp and contest on July 19th in Silicon Valley called the Business Mashup Challenge. The goal is to have a two day event where developers can get together for the camp and create different mashups right there and then using the Contest Development Environment (CDE) to do the assembly and publishing of your mashups. There is money and prizes for the winners. The assembly and consumption of services and some of the widgets apparently works through the QEDwiki project (try it out on alphaWorks Services) which is part of the CDE.

Which Colt .22?
Woodsman? Ace? Other 1911 type?
Recoil is probably not a factor. Maybe the works are dirty.
If it's one of those "floating chamber" designs, cleanliness is important.
Butwhat the hecksince the .22 doesn't generate a lot of recoil, and the gun works on recoil, you may not be gripping it tightly enough, or with sufficiently rigid arms, so you may be absorbing some of the recoil it needs.

I always wanted to make a animated clone costume but i cant find any pepakura file anyone cant find it for me?
Send a PM to Skupilkinson.
i already asked him before his not really doing the project now.I already got the TCW clone helmet from him i just need to find a amour.
i'm not a pepakura fan myself, but i try to pay attention to animated clone stuff. i haven't heard of anything being available.
there's not a whole lot out there in the way of animated style anything yet. give it some more time and i'm sure it will happen. or, if you're impatient, that sounds like a great time to learn to make it yourself.
that's how mine went... i had never done vacuum forming before, but i learned so that i could make my suit. it was a fun experience, though very, very slow... it took a bit over a year to finish it up.
oh thks for the advice i think i should wait cause now i am building a clone amour but not animated anyways thks for your advice i saw your amour on your website u did a really good job !

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
If you're reading this, please take one minute out of your day and vote for the following Connect item:
If you're really interested, take three minutes: run the steps to reproduce the issue, and then check the box that says that you were able to reproduce the issue.
Imagine that ten hours ago you started a big transaction. You're sitting there waiting for it to finish, and it's running, and running, and running. At some point, you notice that the drive with the transaction log has filled up, so you create a second log file. And the transaction is sitting there running, and running, and running. Is it still doing work? Or did it catch the low disk space issue and start rolling back? Wouldn't it be great if you could actually answer that question? Are you surprised to learn that you can't answer that question?
SQL Server currently has a few DMVs that are supposed to tell us the status of a given request, transaction, and so on. These DMVs are unreliable in the vast majority of situations. That means that we are unable to answer important questions like, "is my transaction still doing any work, or did it die three hours ago?"
The SQL Server team needs to fix this. End of story. Please vote and help me convince the powers that be to do the right thing.

Just curious - the explanation they gave to my untutored eye appears to contradict the whole concept of ACID. If it doesn't roll back the whole transaction, what does it do - retry? In a nested transaction the whole lot gets rolled back (barring save points), so their analogy seems to be highly misleading. Tbh I'm rather confused now, and would rather have not read it... ;)
"Each time a statement is run, it starts a virtual scope within the transaction (akin to a nested transaction), which is used to log the changes made by that stement. If an error occurs (such as the attention event), depending on the severity of the exception either the scope will be rolled back or the whole transaction.
The rollback is limited to the scope for low-severity exceptions or if XACT_ABORT is OFF. For high-severity exceptions, the whole transaction will be rolled back.
Because of the above, during the time the scope is rolled back, the transaction itself is not necessarily being rolling back, so that's the reason the state remains as ACTIVE (2) in the DMV."
Hi Rich,
SQL Server internally uses parent and child transaction scopes. These are all bound to the same transaction via the parent, so there is no consequence as far as ACID goes -- it's more for flexibility and granularity.
For example, if you have a bunch of threads and one of them needs to spill some data to tempdb, it will do so in a child transaction. That data doesn't need to be replayed or rolled back if the parent transaction is interrupted, so there is no worry there.
Another scenario is with the query I posted in the item. In this case the parent transaction can support numerous child transactions over the course of its lifetime (the big insert being one of them), and if one of them dies all of the work that's already been done can still be committed. That's a feature!
As far as the DMVs go, unfortunately, it's difficult at best to tie child transactions to parent transactions. You can do it, but only via the sys.dm_tran_locks view, which tends to be very slow and is not reliable. Even worse, the rows in the transaction views for child transactions don't seem to indicate the rollback either. There is a column called "status2" that seems to have something to do with it, but it's totally undocumented and I don't know what to look for. Of course since I can't reliably tie the parent to the child it's a moot point. I simply can't get the right data to figure out what's happening.
Thanks for the extra info.
It looks like they won't solve this issue for another 2-4 years assuming their next major release isn't referring to service packs.
Can you watch your SPID to see if it is throwing IO_COMPLETION waits ? You can normally see this wait being recorded fairly heavily during crash recovery / transaction rollback.
Mr. Tea: Sure, you can do that, but it may not tell you much. IO_COMPLETION is used for other purposes, so there may not be a rollback happening at all, and even if you are in the midst of a rollback there's no guarantee you'll see it unless your disks happen to be somewhat overloaded. It is unfortunately not a very accurate way of telling what's going on.
I Agree, IO_COMPLETION is not well documented (I'd love to know the exhaustive list of what causes it) but it may be the best indication we have until someone takes the above request seriously!
After a few quick tests with extended events to monitor the pattern of waitstats on a SPID, during rollback it shifts from what I expect e.g. PAGEIO/LOCK based on the type of transaction to a bunch of IO_COMPLETION, Ill have to test this on a large transaction that causes churn in the buffer pool to see what kind of wait pattern that gives during rollback.
From observation, IO_COMPLETION in this case looks like its the log file disk waits when reading the Tlog for rollback/forward.

I hope since last week you have considered including some brain foods in your daily meals or added more than you previously consumed. If eating those foods can help your memory and even help avoid dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, it is certainly worth your while. These are foods the majority of us call tasty, but with chocolate, blueberries and mixed nuts alone, some brain foods are favorites to many.
This week I have recipes for three of the 10 foods noted last week: blueberries, avocado, salmon, coffee, dark chocolate, broccoli, flax seeds, mixed nuts, whole grains and eggs. Last week I gave you three salad recipes that included blueberries, avocado and walnuts.
Today, salmon, broccoli and dark chocolate are featured. These foods could be the basics for a family meal. Add a vegetable and maybe even a whole grain roll and you are all set for a delicious meal featuring some brain food. Bon appétit.

Texas Begins Enforcing 2011 Voter I.D Law
Texas is preparing to implement the new Voter I.D. law, even as Democrats again file suit to try to block it, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Attorney general Greg Abbott announced Tuesday, immediately after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidating the portion of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which allowed the Obama Administration to block the Voter I.D. law from taking effect that it would be implemented immediately, and voters will have to show a government issued i.d. card before they cast any type of ballot.
"Many Texans already have the necessary photo i.d. for voting," DPS Spokeswoman Catherine Cessinger told 200 WOAI news. "If you have a Texas Drivers License, if you have a Texas personal i.d. card, if you have a passport, if you have a Concealed Handgun License here in Texas."
She says the DPS will begin handing out 'Voter I.d. cards' to anybody who does not have one of those forms of identification, but you'll have to prove that you are a U.S. citizen and you have the right to vote in Texas.
"A Texas resident, you must be eligible to vote in Texas," she said. "That means they'll have to show us proof of residency at the time."
Meanwhile, several Democrats, led by U.S. Rep. Mark Veasey (D-Ft. Worth) filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Corpus Christi demanding that a judge throw out the state's Voter I.D. law, which was approved by the Legislature in 2011.
"The law would have the effect of denying thousands of Texas voters the ability to vote in person, a large number of whom would be disenfranchised entirely since absentee voting in Texas is available to only certain specified categories of voters," lawyers for the plaintiffs said in the lawsuit.
A lawsuit challenging Voter I.D. laws will be far more difficult to win without the oversight provisions of the Voting Rights Act. The Voter I.D. law in Indiana, which is nearly identical to the one passed in Texas in 2011, has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. The only reason the Texas law was blocked was because of Texas' former position as one of the states requiring 'pre-clearance' for election law changes.

7:00 PM EST TV: FS Detroit / NBA league Pass Radio: 97.1 The Ticket
Without Lebron for the Cavs........and without us having Stuckey...it an even draw. Cavs by 7...............
Gordon (groin) out and now Stuckey (hamstring) out. Bynum is in early. Might see some WDR2 or some Daye soon.
No beng, no Stuckey....Tay trying to make up for his 2007 playoff performance vs the Cavs.....to late now but he has 18 points in the first half as Pistons are up 49-44 at the half when it first it appeared that neither team would have a chance to score 100 in this one. The Pistons broke open a tight game going a 10-0 run midway through the second and the bench has contributed 16 points to make up for the absence of Ben and Stuck and are still waiting for G-Mon to show up. Kyrie on on his way to a quadruple double with 12 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 turnovers at the half.
AUSTIN DAYE!!! Have I travelled to an alternate reality where this guy shoots 50% from the field.
End of three....Pistons up 68-61.....3 minutes prior to the end of the quarter, the Pistons were up 15>>68-53, but allowed the Cavs to close the quarter on a 8-0 run. Bynum and Wilkens came in at the 1:29 mark and they could not generate any defense or offense..... The way Monroe is playing this game...the coach may have him sit the whole 4th quarter....which he used to doing anyway
Where is this fourth quarter collapse that I have gotten so used to enduring.
Th Think positive ....they just need to stop Irving....and Monroe needs to dunk it when he is within 2 meters of the hoop
Pistons got this one in the bag, no problem...
I get the feeling you are a bit of a pessimist. We should be the best of friends.
I don't understand how Daye can be 3-7, 1-4 and 1-2 and only have 8 points. Something doesn't add up here. I KNEW IT I AM IN AN ALTERNATE REALITY
Two straight road wins vs teams that want to get high lottery picks....Tay was the Man tonight in this short hand victory as Blaha called it.... with 29 pts, 8 boards and 3 assists. he was also 4-4 from downtown. Monroe struggled on 4-13 shooting and seemed out of synch in the first half, but he despite falling short of a double-double, he did finish with 8 and 10 along with 3 blocks. Max had a great game including a couple put back dunks in the crunch time. Force once he was able to score in double figures with 12-9 and 3blocks In the battle of the two rookies, or course Kyrie was Kyrie scoring 12 points in the first quarter and 10 in the 4th and 5 turnovers. That's 15 in the last three games for him. No splashiness for Knight, but he did hid part in keeping the Pistons ahead throughout the second half with 16 and 5... Bench stars were Bynum of all people who sparked the Pistons to two quick buckets to open the 4th, after the Cavs had closed it to 7 to end the third. Daye made some shots here and I and glad to see him back in the rotation and contributing while Stuck and Gordon are on the mend. Big Ben has played the whole month of March good and he provided some good defense tonight. JJ, got in foul trouble early and often...so not much out of him tonight. Wilkens played some D and gave some of the other players blow. Cavs look like they were OK with a semi taynk mode style of play....I don't recall Byron Scott getting upset about his team's play.
I am sure you are being sarcastic here but here is the breakdown> He made two 2pt FG's.; 1 3pt FG and one free throw....lets see I think that = 8?
Wow, you changed my post. I always believe in my Pistons.
a product of the public school board i see
Well, panda bears don't have ten fingers like Dre, so it's harder to add when you get up to big numbers like 8....
Meh, Daye still looks stoned 90% of the time. Anyway, good hard fought game today with our best scorer out and Monroe a non factor on offense. Tayshaun was our best scorer today, taking 21 shots and making 11 for 29 points. The isotayshauns at the end of the game could have cost us dearly if not for a great putback by Max - that, and that the Cavs couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at the end. A credit to the Pistons' swarming, active defense at the end of the game. He played good defense all game long, and scored with some efficiency. He was key to this win, despite taking some horrible shots trying to get the taynk back on track at the end. Brandon played well, shooting just a hair under 50%, 7 for 15 for 16 points. Also 2 for 3 from range. He's not settled for threes as much the last two games, and unlike in Washington, he was hitting his shots. He hit a huge 3 with just over 2 minutes left that gave his team a little bit more breathing room at the end of the shot clock. He also did a decent job on Kyrie defensively, despite getting beat a few times. These two took turns doing that to each other. Off night for Greg, just 4 of 13 - and all of that was at the rim. A lot of his shots were short or just plain rimmed out. His rebounding numbers are good though, and he snagged quite a few key boards at the end. Developing his midrange j would help him immeasurably, it'll open up the floor for him so much, like it has for Rodney. Max played pretty well, better than he has in a while. He hit something like 4-5 straight jumpers in the third and helped get them up double digits. Shot very efficiently, hitting 6 of 9. Not to mention two crazy putback dunks, one of which was in crunch time off an ugly miss by Tayshaun. JJ can't catch a break with the charge/block calls. Part of it is he's generally not set, but he just doesn't get a favorable whistle in general. Non-factor for the most part today. Big Ben was solid once again, leading the team in blocks with 4 (Max had 3, Moose and Daye 2). His interior defense, even at his age, is still better than anyone's on this team. I don't know if that's good or bad. Daye - he shot well. He was active on defense, just not what I'd call effective. He had two blocks though. His body language sucks though, it's even worse than Tay's. And, like I mentioned, he just looks stoned, out of it a lot of times. Wilkins was ok, at least defensively. He took a few questionable jumpers though, especially that long two try with 16 seconds on the clock. Bynum - he played a lot thanks to BG and Stuck being out. Offensively, he did what he usually does; hold the ball and drive to the hoop with no regard for anyone else. He also got burned by Kyrie - now granted Kyrie burns a lot of people, but he blew by WB with a lot more ease. Good game, good win. Granted it's against the Cavs, whose star rookie looked a lot less cheery than usual thanks to a 5 game losing streak, but it was a good, hard fought game on the road, and won with defense at the end.
Yeah, ok. Bit too much beer at lunch made a retard of me. Did they have panda bears in the 80's?
I would think you would know more about pandas than me....
Maxiell was the man! Nasty boards, jump shots, put back dunks, key blocked shots, and he even took a charge or two. I'm starting to grow fond of Knight's floaters as well. Such a nice way to avoid the defense. It's an incredibly hard shot and he's making them at a higher and higher rate it seems like. His split the defenders move is also looking somewhat unstoppable. With Bynum- his stats weren't great, but there is something positive that comes out of his "exploration" of the defense. Lots of 2nd change points by us after Cleveland collapsed on him. Sweet dunk too. The Cavs didn't have Varejao of course, but we were missing Stuckey, Gordon, and Macklin, so great win. One other thing to note- we just held the Cavs to their lowest scoring output of the season at 75 points! 2 straight opponents under 80 is good stuff, even if they are the cellar dwellers. Our 3rd win of this brutal road trip and just one more game against the Bulls until it is over. Maybe we can sneak up on them.
Separate names with a comma.

The dead queen was a new fall queen I bought from a local beekeeper. Is it possible they superseded her in the fall and they just got around to kicking her out?
I would wait 4 to 5 days and then look for queen and eggs. Either one means all is well .
i wouldn't bother marking her. you found her without. if she's replaced, so what? it's performance that counts, not which year your queen is.

Re: Barnegat Light vessel lost
Yes it technically is up for grabs but if i claim salvage rights my company assumes ALL cost of salvage which I cannot do. By informing the marine police and coast guard it SHOULD force them into a legal mitigation and force them to have the vessel removed. Ottos, it has been leaking fuel since she first went down and sadly the agencies say its not a big deal. " only a few hundred gallons". Unbelievable, throw a cigarette or piece of trash on the ground and get a 55 dollar fine, let 350 gallons of fuel spill into the ocean and consider it not so bad..

I don't know anything about it, but with a full tank, wouldn't DEP mandate that it be raised?
Re: Barnegat Light vessel lost
Otter, if they don't want to salvage it, then doesn't that mean they've abandoned it and the boat is up for grabs?
Not to mention, that's gotta be a MARPOL violation and a dozen other fines for dumping that big a chunk of plastic inside the 3-mile limit and not even trying to recover it.(G)
Re: Barnegat Light vessel lost
At low tide those "submerged" rocks are just visible. At dead high they are below the waters. More than a fair share have fallen victim to those rocks.
Re: Barnegat Light vessel lost
Upate. Found the boat and going through the motions to claim the salvage on her. Since go figure, the insurance company thinks they are just going to let it sit as is. Its lying on a shifting bar with air inside her bow causing her to be light on her feet, that being said it is far to easy for her to be drug out into navigable waters. Since the insurance company is against salvage, I notified the State Police Marine division as well as the Coast Guard to let them know it will be a hazard if it hasnt already.
Re: Barnegat Light vessel lost
Jon Eisberg did a very informative post last fall. I'll copy it here -

The outermost portion of the north jetty has been reduced to somewhat of a pile of rubble by the wave action over recent years. For years the light on the jetty had been a more substantial tower, which eventually was at risk of toppling over, and was eventually replaced with a light on a single pole driven into the bottom, rather than mounted on top of the rocks... But, if you look closely at the pic below, you can see it is placed slightly to the outside of the rocks...
Add the fact that the channel normally favors the N side to a considerable degree - there is usually a lighted green buoy just inside the jetties, often placed about 2/3 of the way across the inlet towards the N side... From there on in, the channel run quite close to the rocks, generally closer than the red course line below would indicate...
My impression has always been that as the end of the jetty has been broken down, there is a significant amount of underwater obstruction from the debris extending a bit more to seaward... It can certainly appear that way from the visible wave action there in certain conditions, and friends who fish around the rocks there believe there are rocks that extend slightly further out... I'll take their word for it, I've no inclination to investigate that any more closely...
Re: Barnegat Light vessel lost
Yes, same chart. I'd expect the northern jetty to be partly awash or possibly submerged there, but the line from the inlet, the extension from the northern part of that jetty, and the linear run out to the light, would all make it look fairly hard to miss the northern jetty. As opposed to the one on the south side, cutting catty-corner from the light to the shore. That looks like it wouldn't be as obvious to locate, from the water.
Maybe if they built an amusement and fishing pier on top of it, and put Disney in charge? And they could bring that Italian cruise ship alongside, for a real tourist attraction?

Re: Barnegat Light vessel lost
"Ha...thats the difference between the ruler and"
Not really, chef. I was just using the ruler to check the distance, and routing it (instead of a ruler) from R40 through Oyster Creek Channel, which is the preferred one on my chart since Double Creek would force a shoal crossing, actually gives a run of just under 5nm from the R40 mark to the outside of the inlet.
Add the notices about shoaling, changes, marks being moved...It's easy to know what to expect, if you're comfortable with maps and charts. (I actually know someone who swears they can't read a road map, the image makes no sense to them.) My only confusion was over the remarks about a submerged jetty, since the chart shows only one of those, to the south of the inlet. The main jetty forming part of the inlet on the north side shouldn't be a big surprise to anyone, unless wreckers moved the light on the end.
Why do I think those fellows are going to take up golf next month?
