I'm a Gastroenterology SpR currently undertaking a Hepatology research fellowship (3 years) and have just finished a year out as a clinical teaching fellow at UCL medical school. I chose Gastroenterology not only because of the variety, but also because of the people you get to work with - Gastroenterologists tend to be an intelligent, competitive and aspirational bunch who are good fun! The range of patients (age, condition & personality) and the practical side mean you'll never have a boring day at work. There's also many avenues other than clinical work you can explore within the specialty.

I am an academic clinical trainee in Gastroenterology from Wales. What I like about the specialty is the diversity of patients and their presentations. Gastroenterology combines both the theoretical aspect of medicine with the practical skills of endoscopy. You won't get bored doing Gastroenterology, as you will come across new challenging cases on daily bases. Anyone is welcome to join us, as there is always a need for young and enthusiastic gastroenterologists.

I am a Gastro trainee and MRC clinical research training fellow in Oxford. I was drawn to Gastroenterology by the wide spectrum of disease and the diversity of the patient population. I like the contrast of acute emergencies with chronic illness management. It's certainly not a specialty you get bored in easily and there's of course plenty of scope for research. It won't disappoint!

I knew from early on that I wanted to do hospital medicine but wasn't sure about a specialty. One of the gastroenterology consultants that I worked with during my medical rotation was very enthusiastic. She encouraged me to come along to scope lists and supported my training in clinics and on the ward. A career in gastro was a natural progression. I definitely made the right decision. I really enjoy scoping and there's a good mix of clinical challenges from the patients with chronic illnesses like IBD to the acutely unwell patients with liver disease. I would highly recommend it!

I am a gastroenterology trainee in the Wessex region. I was attracted to gastroenterology early in my career as it offered the opportunity to work in several different settings and work closely with other specialities. My training has confirmed that this was a great choice for me. The procedural elements and clinics ensure that you don't get ward fatigue, while caring for patients on the ward means you keep those emergency situation where the adrenalin gets pumping. I have a speciality interest in IBD and I am engaged in both clinical and basic science research in this area. I look forward to speaking to any future potential gastroenterologists.

Paul Lambert hopes Aston Villa's run to the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup will give their fans a much-needed pick-up after his side beat his old club Norwich 4-1 last night.
Lambert received a mixed welcome as he walked out at Carrow Road, with a few jeers heard among general applause for the man who masterminded the Norfolk club's rise to the top flight from the depths of npower League One.
However, the former Canaries boss, who is in dispute with his old employers after an acrimonious departure during the summer, enjoyed the last laugh as substitute Andreas Weimann hit a second-half brace to turn the tie around after Brett Holman had cancelled out Steve Morison's opener. Christian Benteke cracked in a fourth during stoppage time to move Villa within 180 minutes of Wembley.
Villa's travelling support were in full voice on a bitterly cold night in East Anglia and Lambert hopes to give them more to cheer about over the coming months as he aims to reconstruct the midlands club.
"I have never been to Wembley, although I have been to watch a game," he said.
"But it's not anything I have thought about, we have still got a couple of games to go.
"However, it gives the club something to look forward to. The fans deserve a pick-up as well.
"Whatever happens [for the semi-finals], Villa Park will be jam-packed.
"I will be more pleased with the pleasure the players get from it because I don't play the game any more."
Lambert remained humble despite what in the end was a comfortable victory over Chris Hughton's men on his old stomping ground.
"I had three great years here. We gave anyone a really good run for their money. I love the club, I've got nothing but praise for the football club," said Lambert, who is been represented by the League Managers' Association in his arbitration hearing with Norwich, which is set for early next year.
"You like to think they [the fans] appreciate what you have done and I appreciate the support they gave us.
"It is great club with great fans, but this is Chris' team now, he has done fantastically well with the position he has got them into and we will try and catch them."
Lambert handed Darren Bent a rare start, only for the England striker, who saw an early one-on-one saved, to limp off just after the hour with a hamstring problem.
Lambert said: "I thought he looked pretty sharp. It was a blow for us, I don't know how serious it is."
Norwich had been defending an unbeaten 10-game run heading into last night's game, and certainly had their chances to put the tie beyond Villa at the start of the second half when Morison missed twice in quick succession and Villa keeper Shay Given produced a brilliant reaction save to deny Grant Holt.
Canaries boss Hughton, who turned 54 yesterday, said: "We needed to make sure we held on to our 1-0 lead longer, and then at the start of the second half, we had a great chance and if that goes in then possibly it is a different story.
"Villa are a good footballing side and they were more clinical than us.
"It is really disappointing because we had been on a good run.
"We have to take it on the chin and now need to make sure we can get back on track for Saturday against Wigan."

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by roscoe36, Oct 18, 2008.
Boozer is KILLING my team. My team has fallen off considerably since he was hurt.
Just because I decided to take it easy on you. (At least when I read the descriptions of the injuries to Davis and O'Neal, it didn't seem to me like they were going to be out all week. Davis was just supposed to have had a little bump on his butt.) But Sprockets thrive on adversity. We spotted you two players just to make it competitive, and 4-4-1 is the best you can do!!??!! And you're only up by one steal!! This could easily be 6-3 right now.
I like the competitive, trash talking dba.
...man, You guys would all be HATING it if I wouldn't have [strike]been excluded due to my superior ability to run a franchise[/strike] missed the yahoo deadline. My "all-Williams" team would have killed it fosho! http://www.pistonsforum.com/fantasy-basketball/9061-2008-9-novice-league-info-discussion-3.html ...Just remember, whoever ends up winning this thing at the end of the year woulda been the runner-up!
lol. That all Williams team is a good idea, you would have to rank them, and try to draft the best ones first to guarantee you have a monopoly.
Who are you calling trash??? I'd give you the truth, but I know you can't handle the truth!! All right, I need to go and have a lie down now.
I know it's just the bagel carbs talking.
Roscoe likes every kind of talking because of all he can do is just ...talk.
Looks like for dba and I, it might come down to 3 pointers made. Some more good matchups this week
I think a lot of teams are feeling the injury/slump bug. I have had a few players fall way behind their normal output, but then I look at what some of the other teams are dealing with and I realize it's just a rough week. Villanueva really saved me this week...which I never would have expected.
ok, injuries are there...at least you know they are injuried and won't play. I noticed today that Doc Rivers had enough and DNP-d Perkins...Perkins is in my team...Should I bench him for next week too?????? There is no good replacement for Perkins, Zach Randolph is still injuried and plays in upcoming week only 2 games anyway.... On positive note I picked up 2 players, whom I did not expect to be available: Eric Gordon and Mike Dunleavy.
That's the name of the game. Risk assessment.
Four guys down with injuries and Brook Lopez scores 31 for my opponent!! Who in the world is Brook Lopez anyway!!??!!
I picked him up in a local league I play in, after he played well against the Pistons. Dude will be a top 100 player next year. This is a good thing for new fantasy guys to learn. Each season, you have to turn up at least one or two value players who emerge as high value starters to make up for injuries and under performance from guys who can't repeat last year's showings. It is very hard to win, let alone dominate with a draft day roster. The thing about guys like Lopez, is that you add them to your last spot, and play them only when they show value (and have a lot of opponents in a week). It's my opinion that nearly every team should be shuffling (or sifting through) it's last roster spot each week, panning for gold.
I don't think I'll ever be able to put T-Mac out of my last roster spot since he is always ailing.:D
In a weekly league, your non playing guys can be used for roster development, and for being able to maximize your weekly output through games played. But I am coming to the conclusion that holding onto injured guys is too expensive. I always strive to make the top half of the regular season in each league, and then in the playoffs, maintain or improve my finish. Sure I want to win it all, but that is not always possible. Thus, I try to play at a high level like the Pistons over the last 6 seasons.
I'm...seriously thinking of dropping TGRH. last year and so on he was true FL dream player: consistent, high FG%, very high FT%, shared ball and rebounded well for SG, hit occasional 3pt shot. Only TOs were little headache. But now he has no r comfortable role in this team; yeah, he is natural starting SG but not at the price of AI... and even if Rip gets traded, it will take several months to get acclimated in his new team...
NO! Do Not dump him. Repeat. DO NOT Dump HIM!
I concur with Tater. Don't dump him for nuthin. If you wanna get rid of him work a trade...just like Joe is doing :D
Precisely. Generally, in our leagues Pistons are overvalued anyhow, so even given his current unpopularity with many fans, you should be able to get equal value for him. Anyhow, you would be hard pressed to replace him on the free agent market even given his current drop in productivity. You dump him and somebody is going to pick him up on waivers faster than you can say "Hey Roscoe, those high heels you are wearing would match Curry's suit perfectly"

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – Junior Jamie Romano (Kings Park, N.Y.) scored with one second left in the first overtime period, giving the third-seeded Marist women's lacrosse team a 7-6 victory over second-seeded Fairfield in the semifinal round of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championships on Friday at Tenney Stadium.
Romano's goal was assisted by senior Amanda Tuck (Mamaroneck, N.Y.), who also scored the game's first goal. Senior Ashley Miller (Montville, N.J.) had two goals and an assist, and sophomore Kirsten Viscount (Smithtown, N.Y.) scored two second-half goals.
Senior goalkeeper Ashley Casiano (South Windsor, Conn.) made 12 saves for the Red Foxes, including two off of free-positions late in the game, with five seconds in regulation and 31 seconds in the first overtime periods.
In a close game throughout, the teams traded leads over the opening 30 minutes as Marist went up 1-0 at 28:52 before seeing Fairfield go ahead 2-1 with back-to-back goals at 20:09 and 18:52. A free-position goal by Miller tied it up for Marist at 2-2 at 15:36.
After Amanda Best put the Stags up 3-2 at 11:54, freshman Allison Gionta (Eastport, N.Y.) found Miller for her second goal of the game at 6:02 to knot it at 3-3 before the half.
In the second half, Marist opened with three goals on three shots as Viscount netted back-to-back markers at 26:28 and 19:03. The sophomore continued her strong play with a successful draw control to gain the Red Foxes another possession. Within 50 seconds of the draw control, Marist was up 6-3 on a Miller to Gionta connection for the freshman's first goal of the game.
Strong defensive action and slow, deliberate possesions by both teams would continue over the next six minutes. Finally, 17:16 into the second half, Fairfield would break throught with its first goal of the period to make it 6-4. This goal by the Stags broke a 29:20 scoreless streak.
Two Fairfield goals in quick succession at 8:51 and 7:27 would tie the game for the fourth time.
Over the final 7:27 of regulation play, both goalkeepers came up huge as Casiano made three saves, while Fairfield's Katie Keenan made two.
After 60 minutes of play the team's set forth in battle in overtime.
In the first half of the overtime period, Casiano made her second straight free-position save as she stopped a Melanie Raso attempt with 31 seconds left in the intial three-minute half. With time running out, the Red Foxes raced down the field to step themselves up in the offensive zone. After a few passes in close quarters around the mouth of the goal, Tuck found Romano for a one-timer shot with one second remaining, that had just enough pace on it to make it past Fairfield's keeper and across the goal line.
Marist won the draw control for the second three-minute overtime period, and Fairfield never gained possession back as the Red Foxes held on for the dramatic 7-6 extra period victory.
For the game, Fairfield outshot Marist 30-16 with an 18-13 advantage on shots on goal. The Stags also had more ground balls at 15-13. Both teams won eight draw controls.
With her victory in goal, Casiano increased her career total to 22, which ties the all-time program record with Liz Burkhard ('05-08) and Heather Ripp ('02-05).
Marist (9-9), which has won eight of its last 10 games, is now in the MAAC championship game for sixth time in program history, and fifth time in the last seven years. The Red Foxes will face top-seeded Canisius for the championship on Sunday at 1 p.m. The top-seeded Golden Griffins (13-4), who are the two-time defending conference champions, defeated fourth-seeded Siena 14-7 in Friday's first semifinal.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Menace, Apr 3, 2009.
Of course I blame the players more. The coach is only one portion of the equation. The players have to actually sweat, hustle, make shots and react in real time. The coach coaches the same in Game 50 and Game 81 as he does in the ECF. So why the different results? Well one, there is tougher competition. And two, there is a fatigue concern. But three, if the coaching is constant with rotations, then I don't understand how successful coaching results in the first two rounds cannot be translated to the third round. If we strip away all of the hoopla of the ECF, it's just another tough team in another series where everyone is tired. In hindsight, I was very critical of Flip. I don't know how anyone can watch this season, and not have a little more respect for the job he did, unless you believe Chauncey was the key component, which again undermines the idea that Flip was to blame when it mattered. It can't be had both ways. Do I think there is a conspiracy, these guys sit around and scheme and machinate? No. Do I think they collectively have covered each other's asses, throwing the coach under the bus if they have to? Absolutely. It's human nature. They have a bias about their own performance, and they are interested in self-preservation. None of that should come as any surprise because you and I have the same incentives and biases.
We ended up with a worse coach than Flip...so in that regard Flip does end up looking better. Chauncey was very much a key component and his complacent swagger did us in as much as Flip's inability to motivate.
I was very critical of Flip as well. - STILL am! ...and no, I don't have more respect for him based on what's happening this season. I think that we all concur that Mike Curry sucks. But he didn't inherit the same team that Flip inherited from LB. This team is damaged. In my opinion, Flip did most of the damage. LB's Pistons were hungry and played with chips on their shoulders. They played the right way. They played for each other and they played for their coach. Flip's Pistons started out that way but developed bad habits and bad team characteristics really quick. - And Flip LET IT HAPPEN. Flip didn't earn the respect of his players. He was coaching a group of guys that had achieved more success than he ever did. They tuned him out (remember that Sheed pic you used for your avatar). They developed their "switch flipping" mentality and gradually moved farther and farther away from the hungry team that he started with. He shoulda put a stop to it as soon as it started happening. - he didn't. He ruined them. in the fall of 05/06, the Pistons needed a STRONG personality to step in and coach. - Flip was weak and they proceedd to walk all over him until his final demise. All the while, the team moved further and further away from the principles that made up their identity. Michael Curry isn't a "B+" coach. - He's aweful! In his defense though, he doesn't have a whole lot to work with anymore (Chauncey or NO Chauncey). - and for THAT, you can thank Flip Saunders.
It's true, BallDon'tLie don't lie.
I think the thing with Flip was that Dumars did not feel the need to bring in another ball buster. Thought his players were mature enough to not need someone pushing them. Flip had a lot of good offensive schemes, thing just always unraveled when the pressure was on in the playoffs.
Agreed. Fancy plays are going to be countered in the 6th game of a series against a good defensive team. The only way to win is to have a player like Kobe, who is undefendable, or to just play better D than your opponent. We didn't have that player and we didn't play better D.
I think Joe made a crossroads choice. He had to get rid of Larry to satisfy Mr. D, and he needed the players on board for that. So he brought in an enabler, who enabled the All-Star appearances, who enabled the big minutes and big numbers. I've said it many times before, I would stay up late after playoff games and get the transcripts to post on the forum. I would read (before it was reported) how these guys would throw the coach under the bus, but I had just watched the game, and the coach was doing what he did all season when they were happy to be winners, and all stars and Billups was basking in MVP chants. Now suddenly, the approach was all wrong. Joe's mistake in my opinion, is that he has been too close to these guys to be objective. Trader Jack was close to his guys, but he never came between Chuck and Zeke or Zeke and Laimbs. The GM worked with the coach, not the players. It was the coach's job to handle the personnel on a day to day level. I imagine that is how Popovich is with his GM (RC Buford). Same thing with Phil Jackson. The coach has to be the alpha and omega for the players. If people can slip into the GMs office to complain, or if the GM is always doing interviews about his players and never talking about the coach, then it undermines authority. I hope he has learned the lesson from this. I thought Billups most complete play was when he had Mike James and Chucky Atkins behind him, and still had not secured that big career making contract. It's human nature to push a little less hard when things are easy, and to try like hell when we're desperate. That's why I hope Joe doesn't bring Sheed back unless he can see some way to motivate Sheed to be his best. Only Larry seemed capable of that. There is a guy who isn't a self-starter and enjoys it, but deep down, he wants someone to drive him, to forcefully encourage him to be great.
AMEN.... add to that, all our young players at this point have had no time with LB or any other good coach at the pro level. I am not impressed with any of our bench coaches either. what have max amir AA or Rodney added to there game since they got here? Chauncey went from scoring guard to floor general, Rip added range to his shot, Ben was spoon fed offense to make him get "some attention" on def...
Ros - good points. Its more than just a job with Dumars. McKlosky was hired to be more of a classic GM wheras Dumars is more part of the franchise. Although that can change with the new ownership - we will have to see. As great as the old Pistons were Dumars has said on several occasions that he does not want a team that will take 10 years to rebuild. That was the mistake McKlosky made, although granted - things were different then. Dumars has made some mistakes with the coaches. I don't think there was much of a choice with LB. Davidson made the final call but I think it was more of him getting sick enough of all the drama to just end it and take the blame. I interperated his press conference back in 05 as more of a "if you want to blame someone then blame me - and lets move on" kind of deal. As fans - I think we all want the same thing. And thats a team that we can all get behind and identify with. Its hard to get behind what we have had the past few years.
Absolutely three-six! I was about to post a very similar statement over in that "Rasheed Tribute" thread. The way I see it, as long a Sheed sees that the team is heading down the right path, he plays inspired basketball. Once things got mucked-up with Flip, he just seemed to lose interest and say "Why am I bustin' my butt for this chump. He ain't gonna lead us nowhere!" Sheed half-asses it around the court and camps out above 3-pt line for the same reason that Ben Wallace bolted for Chi-Town. No leadership, no identity, no accountability. ...why bother! Unless things change, I could see Rasheed taking the Barry Sanders route and just simply retiring on the grounds of "organizational incompetency".
I think that is why Sheed tries to take on the refs. A lot of it is about trying to fire himself up. The dude has been getting screwed on calls for ages. But it was never about justice as much as getting his head in the game. I think Sheed really respected that Larry protected him with the refs, and Larry stood up for him. Flip and to a lesser degree MC lament the lack of personal discipline, but if you go back to the 1st or 2nd podshow Low and I talked about how each player needs something different from the coach. With the enormous value that Sheed brings to the Pistons when he is on, it would seem logical to me he would be the guy you would be most concerned about when selecting a coach and choosing a coaching style. Man, I totally managed to derail this AI thread. ;)
Well, this IS a Pistons forum. Is AI even still considered a Piston? ...Who cares where Allen Iverson ends up next year.
How many plays do the Pistons run for Sheed on offense? It seems to me that he does more to set up the guards or Tay. LB teams had great balance that kept everyone involved. One of my fav LB stories was when Lindsey Hunter said that LB used to pick fights with Sheed when he started getting on the refs too much because Sheed would turn his ire towards LB. I can't picture Flip or MC ever doing that. LB was able to listen to the players but also be forceful about his way. The players appreciated both of these things.
Sheed just wants a coach who will say something when he messes up his desk.
Flip often told Sheed that instead of yelling at the refs, to yell at him. But that further lessened Sheed's respect for Flip. LB's method was tricky good.
That kind of highlights the gap between them. LB would go after the refs something fierce while giving Sheed something to get angry at. Flip let the refs walk all over him and thought Sheed would just come over and yell at him instead.
I know because I am part of the non-existent secret kabal.
Don't go all Oracle-y on us.
Oracle and I have one thing in common. Well two actually. First, we're Aristotelians. Second, we feel comfortable dressed in a toga or any large blanket.

I have an 86 ford ranger with the a4ld transmission and would like to put in a standard. Its just going to be for back and forth to work. Easy on gas. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
but which motor..did you ever see the tech section over at therangerstation dot comthere are so many ways to ***are you having issues with the A4LD overdrive transmission with a lock up converter now??? i know that those are usually weak transmissions.. that won't take a whole lot of abuse.. without mods...before you do any swapping. why not run a KOEO and KOER self test... * Available engines o 4 Cylinders A 2.3L FI (found in 79% of 1986 Ford Ranger 2WD) o 4 Cylinders C 2.0L 1BL (found in 20% of 1986 Ford Ranger 2WD) o 4 Cylinders E 2.3L Turbo Diesel (found in 01% of 1986 Ford Ranger 2WD) o 6 Cylinders T 2.9L FIif you have failed a start up self test.. the computer backs off the fuel economy. to save the motor....code readers are about 32 bucks from actron at most parts stores for the EEC4 fuel injection.. if you have the 2.0 1 bbl. that might have an MCU system.. but i have info on those also... there are a dozen truck magazines on this site also..
Have the 2.3 FI The issue that I am having is after it warms up,you have to let off the gas to get it to shift to 2nd. The guy I goe the truck from said he changed the vacuum modual. The othe problem is it keeps shifting in and out of overdrive.Any more ideas would be great. Will have to get a scanner and see what pops up. Thanks fot the reply.
first off... fluid level check... engine running in park.... smell the fluid on the dip stick... wipe it with a white tissue.. is it red or brown...i am going to recommend that you do a transmission service soon... if not right now..where you drain the transmission by loosening the pan.. let the fluid out.. drop the pan.. drop the filter.. install the new transmission filter.. read the sediment in the bottom of the pan.. a little dark fiber is ok... a few brass flakes are OK.. anything more than a few brass flakes is bad.. be sure to use a magnet.. if you get steel fragments.. you have issues.. put 3 quarts back in.. start the engine and instantly start adding another quart.. so the total is 4... check the fluid level.. keep adding 1/2 quart at a time till its at the full mark... this is probably a 6 quart transmission service job.. you might want to check the Throttle valve cable connection at the throttle body... its the cable that goes down to the transmission.. throttle valve cable adjustments are critical on fords.. its usually done in transmission shops with a pressure gauge on a long hose screwed into the side of the case.. let me see if i can get some good instructions on adjusting the TV cable..
you will want to read this....http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/pdf_documents/A4LD_manual.pdfthere are complete instructions and trouble shooting there..
Thanks for the information. Will be changing fluid and filter this week-end. I added the link to favorites so will read thru it also. Thanks again.

Hyperlite Clash 2011
By DR
from Grand Rapids, MI
About Me Intermediate
Comments about Hyperlite Clash Wakeboard 2011:
This is the second Hyperlite board I have owned. I was riding a Hyperlite State but I was ready for a pro style board. This is a great board. It is very fast on the water and allows you to have ultimate control. The abrupt continous rocker gives a good pop off the wake for aerial tricks. All in all this is a great board for an intermidiate to advanced rider!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great wakeboard. Super light and has great pop for my riding ability. Would definitely recommend this to a friend of similar skill level. Thanks EVO!
No complaints
By Kerr

First year wakeboarding, but I snowboard. The board seemed really easy to ride. The rocker on the board seemed to work well for learning how to get some air. Not too many tricks other then jumping the wake with some grabs.

AMES, Iowa — Prevention is the first line of defense against houseplant insect problems, according to horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. They share nonchemical methods and appropriate pesticides for controlling houseplant insect problems. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Extension and Outreach Hortline at 515-294-3108 or email email@example.com. Gardeners also can find answers to common yard and garden questions at the ISU Horticulture Department's Yard and Garden FAQs website, http://expert.hort.iastate.edu/.
Mealybugs on houseplants are difficult to control. Unless the plant is particularly valuable, it's often best to throw away the infested plant before the insects spread to other houseplants. The standard remedies for houseplant pests can be successful if done with diligence and persistence. On lightly infested plants, pick off individual mealybugs and egg sacs or dab each one with an alcohol-soaked cotton swab. It's also helpful to syringe plants with a forceful spray of lukewarm water to dislodge the mealybugs from the infested plant.
Mealybugs also can be controlled with insecticide sprays. Use aerosol or hand pump spray products made specifically for houseplants. These may contain any of several different ingredients, including insecticidal soaps, pyrethrin, neem or a synthetic pyrethroid, such as permethrin, bifenthrin or resmethrin. Granular insecticides that you apply to the soil of infested houseplants also may be effective. When using pesticides, carefully read and follow label directions.
Spider mites are a common pest of houseplants. Spider mites use piercing-sucking mouthparts to puncture the plant tissue and feed on the liquid within the cells. In light infestations, the foliage appears to be speckled with very tiny yellowish green spots. The foliage of heavily infested plants often turns greenish yellow and eventually tan or brown. Severely stressed plants often drop some of their leaves. Close examination of infested plants may reveal very fine webbing (produced by the mites) on the leaves and stems.
When mites are present, determine the extent of the infestation and the value of the plant. It's usually best to discard a plant that is heavily infested with spider mites. Small mite populations can be reduced by washing or syringing infested plant foliage. Move plants outdoors or into the bathtub or shower and then use a forceful spray of water to dislodge the mites from the infested plant.
Several miticides (pesticides that control mites) are available for houseplants. Products can often be purchased at garden centers, greenhouses and other retail businesses. When using pesticides, carefully read and follow label instructions. Keep plants watered and fertilized to promote plant health and to reduce the impact of mite feeding.
Whiteflies are common insect pests of hibiscus, poinsettia, chrysanthemum and a number of other indoor plants. They are most often noticed when watering or handling a plant. When disturbed, whiteflies flutter about the plant for a short time before returning to the plant.
Whitefly adults are tiny, white, moth-like insects. Female adults lay eggs on the undersides of the plant's foliage. After five to seven days, the eggs hatch into tiny, pale green, immatures called nymphs. The nymphs crawl a short distance before settling down to feed for two to three weeks. After feeding, the nymphs progress to a non-feeding stage and then finally to the adult stage.
The nymph and adult stages of whiteflies feed by inserting their short, needle-like beaks into foliage and sucking out plant sap. Heavy whitefly infestations often cause stunting or yellowing of leaves, leaf drop and a decline in plant health.
Whiteflies on houseplants are extremely difficult to control. Prevention is the best management strategy. Carefully check newly purchased plants and plants brought indoors from the garden or patio in the fall. Indoors, isolate these plants from other houseplants. Frequently check the new arrivals. Begin control measures at the first sign of a whitefly infestation. One way to reduce the whitefly population on an infested plant is to wash the undersides of the leaves with a moist cloth or sponge. Unfortunately, washing is labor intensive and only practical for small plants.
Insecticides are another control option. Insecticides must be applied uniformly and frequently (at weekly intervals) to the undersides of the plant's foliage. Apply insecticides specifically labeled for use on houseplants. Carefully read and follow label directions. It's usually best to discard heavily infested plants to prevent the whiteflies from spreading to other indoor plants.

Man who admitted killing 14 year old girl in Commerce City now on immigration hold
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. - The man who turned himself in for the death of a 14-year-old girl is on an immigration hold, according to the Adams County Jail website.
The man was identified by Commerce City Police as Esequiel Padilla-Villalobos, 24.
Shortly before midnight Sunday, police said Padilla-Villalobos called 911 and told dispatchers he wanted to turn himself in for having just killed someone.
Officer Chris Dickey said Padilla-Villalobos provided officers with the location of 14-year-old girl's body, which was found in the 8600 block of Verbena Street.
Dickey said the cause of death hasn't been determined yet, but Padilla-Villalobos is being held on suspicion of first degree murder.
Although the victim was tentatively identified, Dickey did not reveal her name because notification of her family is still pending. He did say, however, that it appears Padilla-Villalobos may have known the victim.

Has anyone ever got Boba Fett armor from the Star Fortress?

Has anyone ever got Boba Fett armor from the Star Fortress?
Hi newbie!
I know a few members here have but I'd say MLC all the way - 'course I'm a little biased by owning the set! Check out the recent MLC threads floating in armor & Rex is an absolutely fantastic guy to deal w/....
Or you can make a set out of PVC sheeting. There are quite a few of us on the board that have made it this way. Depending on budget it maybe the cheapest way of going. I got a 4'X8' sheet for $35.00 It is enough to get several sets of armor to practice with. the PVC is easily bent with steam or heat gun. If you are on a budget it is a way to go.
Welcome to the board.

Re: Antigua anchorages and snorkeling spots
There are moorings in Falmouth for rent. They have little placards on them. 25$ ? I think per night.
Re: Antigua anchorages and snorkeling spots
No, the mooring balls are not free; I don't recall seeing the pay-by-night type, those I saw were private.
Fellow sailors with 2 young boys took a temporary membership and the kids were on the lasers and optis every day and made the most of it. The bar/restaurant upstairs is nice, but I think it is open to non-members as well. The yacht club is right next to the Falmouth docks and very accessible.

Re: Antigua anchorages and snorkeling spots
prevailing winds are from the east, often northeast in winter months. So, anchorages on the western side of the island, in the lee, will be generally less rolly. Not familiar with Valley Church Bay. We started and ended at Jolly Harbour, and spent our last night in the outer anchorage just north of the entrance channel, which was crowded but comfortable.
Barbuda is about 30 mile passage from Antigua. You don't see Barbuda till the last few miles. We took the advice of Chris Doyle's book and folks at Horizon, and anchored two nights off the beach on the west side of Barbuda, north of Palmetto point, which is the safest approach to the island (fewer reefs to navigate). It was comfortable in the anchorage, although they say it can get rolly in northerly swells, in which case you might choose to anchor over near Cocoa point.
As for the passage, it is "open ocean", so pretty decent swells and wind. Wait for a nice weather window. We had a beautiful romping reach over to Barbuda, and another fun sail on the way back. Absolutely make sure to arrive around midday for visualizing the reefs. Your charter company will give you a lot of information too. I would say that sailing Antigua/Barbuda requires a higher level of sailing experience than, say, the BVI. Hope this helps.
Re: Antigua anchorages and snorkeling spots
Any anchorage there is often going to be more dependant on the swell condition and direction that the wind.. which is always there from the Easterly quadrant.
This is particularly true in Barbuda where there's really no wind break anyway.. so which ever anchorage (and there are really only two viable spots, IIRC) has the easier swell is the one to use. As mentioned before you need to be comfortable with skinny water visual navigation... arrive midday, not in the evening.
Re: Antigua anchorages and snorkeling spots
Thinking about Antigua/Barbuda for a charter in the not-too-distant future. Have visited Antigua before, but on a monster cruise ship. Really enjoyed spending time on the beach at Valley Church Bay. So, a couple of questions...
1) Prevailing winds from the East, as with most of the Caribbean?
2) Can you anchor overnight off Valley Church Bay, or is it better to pull into Jolly Harbour?
3) Best spots for an overnight anchorage around Barbuda?
4) What is the sailing like between Antigua and Barbuda? I'm sure it depends on the weather, but let's just say in "prevailing" conditions.
Re: Antigua anchorages and snorkeling spots
Also note this is an old thread, but we chartered with Horizon in 2011, and were allowed/encouraged to go to Barbuda, which we did... absolutely pristine, beautiful beach on the western side. (I swear it is that beach in the Corona ads with the two beach chairs...) Approach is manageable, just pay attention to charts and water color to avoid reefs. Dinghy ashore, go for the island tour/frigate bird colony visit. Really wonderful.
On Antigua, anchored in Falmouth harbor for two days, you can taxi to Shirley Heights for Sunday night jump-up, very fun, and walk to sights in and around English Harbour. For beaches, Dickenson Bay is a gorgeous beach, easy to dinghy ashore. Anchorage can get rolly, but a nice spot, and good jumping off point for Barbuda. Very good restaurant at the southern end of that beach. We also loved Deep Bay, northwest corner of Antigua... protected anchorage, pretty stretch of beach, can hike up to fort for a great view. Use Chris Doyle's guide. So well done.
Realize this is an old thread but I would imagine that others will check it so a couple of thoughts.
1. The outer anchorage in English Harbour can get quite nasty will the wrong swells.Plus it tends to get quite crowded so there is not much room if you (or your neighbour) starts to drag). In these conditions you can go into one of the little bays to the north of the Dockyard and anchor in mud. These spots are incredibly protected from wind and swell to the extent that we could not believe it was the same day. These bays can be buggy though when there is no breeze at all.
2. I agree about Nonsuch Bay. It is a lovely spot to spend a few days.
|Thanks for the advice. Barbuda looks beautiful. I'll have to study the chart. I thought that with the color of the water it must be shallow over white sand bottom. I'm looking forward to my visit, probably will arrive the first week of December.
I would not snorkel in Falmouth or English Harbour. No holding tanks! Instead visit the dockyard and watch the sun go down from Shirley heights.
North Sound is better and the water will be cleaner. Dont miss Nonsuch Bay anchor behind the reef just north of Green Island and you will get some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean
Barbuda has some brilliant snorkeling but unless you are comfortable with real skinny water eyeball navigation you may find it a bit daunting. The charter boats are not allowed to go there so it is quiet!

I bought a .40 cal px4 and I'm not finding anone with a steel guide rod out yet. Anyone found one or know of another guide rod that is compatable?
Email Steve Bedair. If it can be made, he should be able to supply one. Here: http://bedair.org/P226/Guiderod.html
If you are wanting an exact duplicate fo the rod, you might want to look at it closely...
It isnt a one piece guide rod, it is a two piece. I dont think steel will bend enough to allow the tabs to lock in place.
Adding a steel rod to the Storm pistol platform will not help you, IMO.
The Beretta PX4 Storm has been the most dependable pistol I have ever owned, PERIOD!
I actually log my rds down range................I have 2640 rds in my PX4.....
2100 rds of WWB 115gr/target.....100rd bulk packs
400 rds of S&B 147gr/SS.....50rd boxes
40rds of Federal Hydrashock 115gr/Defense............20rd boxes
100rds of Speer Gold Dot 124gr/Defense............20rd boxes
If you are worried about the guide rod call............#(800) 636-3420.....Beretta USA and ask for parts, and order a couple of guide rods.
A lot of guys wanna change out plastic guiderods in polymer pistols. There really is no need to do this, IMHO. How many guiderod failures do U see.
A lot of these guide rods flex for a reason, as the gun fires. I have seen occassional reports of people having issues w/ metal guiderods, then the problems go away when they go back to stock.
I'm interested in the PX4 .40, also.
*Newbie question in 5....4....3....2....1....*
What is the function of a guide rod?
You can all flame me now :oops:
U really don't know? :p
Its the rod that the recoil spring sits on - it makes the slide return back into place after the gun is fired.
I've said it on another thread - I'm not a fan of the 40 cal, and I really didn't see anything outstanding about the 9mm Storm. But, I have fired one on 40 cal before - and it tames the round very well. I almost thought it was a 9mm I was shooting. If ya do want a 40, I think this is a great one
Hehe.. yep I really didn't know. So what is the benefit of changing to an aftermarket guide rod?
That is a great link to have. I'll probably leave the guide rod alone. I've picked up a 1911 since I wrote that and I'm going to get an XD9 or 45 as soon as I can. I probably won't put a lot of rounds through the PX4. I wanted the steel rod for two reasons. 1 I just hate plastic parts in any mechanical component and 2 I felt like the metal tabs that keep the slide mounted to the frame are a little small. If they failed and the slide decided to blow off the frame the steel rod would actually help keep it on the gun as the rod is buried into a metal block that is held into the frame.
I relialize I'm being paranoid on that one, but it is a new model and you just never know.
Guns are meant to be shot.
All of my guns are polymer guns.
I was also hoping to find any way to any way to keep the slide from being able to move so much side to side at the muzzle end. A steel rod through the front of the slide and seated into the metal block attached to to frame wouldn't hurt in that respect. Sorry I don't know the name for that metal block at least not without consulting the manual. The block is there to ride against the barrel and it has a steel stud on it that slides in the angled channel in the barrel in order to force the barrel to rotate as the slide moves back and it also houses the end of the guide rod and spring assembly.
Metal or plastic guide rod will have no bearing on slide movement when U move it with your hand...
All factory built auto slides will have some movement. The tolerances are not as close/tight compared to a custom built auto. It's all normal...don't worry about it. Regarding stainless steel guide rods. I feel the same as you. I hate anything plastic inside a gun. My Sig P229 has one of Steve's rods. Does it help it function better, no. Is it added weight, not really, we are talking ounces. Does it look better, yes. Do I as the owner like it better, yes. Factory rods obviously have been researched and tested to work fine. It's doubtful, in your lifetime, you will wear out a gun to the point of destruction. They are fun to tinker with regarding add-on parts, but realistically, they are designed to be shot and enjoyed for many years.
After reading alot more on the issue at other sites concerning the PX4 guide rod, I might be a convert.
Rogue007 what do mean? What did find that made you rethink it? I'm basically convinced by the group that the steel rod isn't needed.
I am also convinced that the steel rod isnt needed in my SW40VE, but hell I like how it looks and it just makes me feel better.That been said I didnt convert just for that reason,I put in a stronger recoil spring and had no choice but to get the metal rod.
Go here and read everything about, I did and also talked to the man himself who makes them.
Recoil is lowered a tad, so it will help me as the PX4 babrely has some, even less is better.
You might have to register, if not.......read and look at eveything, hell, its only $35.
I'm really tempted. Even though it isn't really necessary I might just have to get one just for the heck of it.
I know this is an old thread, but I found this on the Beretta forum. Pictures of a plastic guide rod failure. Apparently 2 people in the thread had the same problem. I think I'll invest in a steel rod.
Click Me!
I own both a px4 .45 and the .45 SD.
The SD is built with parts designed to mil-spec for SOCOM.
The SD has a metal guide rod with double springs. It is very stiff. All metal parts on the SD are heavy duty parts made of slightly lighter materials. I have taken both down completely (beyond the standard field stripping). The Hammer Assy, Springs, trigger bar, trigger are all different. Even the pins that hold everything together are lighter stronger pins. The slide (not internal components of the slide) itself seems to be the same with exception to the Special Duty logo stamped on it and of course the SD has a 4.6" barrel vice the standard 4" on all the PX4 full size pistols.
I do not think the guide rod assy will work in the other pistols. But I do believe that all the parts are available on Brownells site. Just type in PX4 SD and you will get a list of all the SD parts and pricing. If the rod can be sold seperately they may have it, but I have only found the whole assy. You could order one, and remove the .45 tension springs, and put your original guide rod spring for your weapon in it's place.
Now if you search via the schematic, the parts list can be a little vague as to what caliber the part is intended for. So do some reasearch, or even call the Beretta Support group for detailed part numbers for any replacement/upgrade parts you wish in install.
As a 15+ year veteran, I find that I am actually more accurate with my PX4's than I ever was with USMC issue 1911's. I truely love the pistols and the action. Just make sure you keep the barrel lug lubed. The only two things that I am still adjusting to, is the polymer frame and the glock style takedown.
I guess it's just a peeve of mine after getting used to metal frames and the signature Beretta takedown lever. I personally think they should have stuck with the metal frame and takedown lever that the Cougars had originally.

GunnersGaming by Betsson, Arsenal's Official Betting Partner, give us the rundown on some of the markets on offer ahead of Tuesday night's Carling Cup Quarter-Final against Manchester City...
The games continue to come thick and fast for Arsenal and this Quarter -Final against Manchester City provides the perfect opportunity to erase the disappointment of Saturday's draw with Fulham. While Arsène Wenger may traditionally be associated with giving young players their chance in the Carling Cup, the manager has reassured fans that his selection criteria is based on picking a team capable of winning.
Manchester City are sure to shuffle their expensive pack and will be certain to prove a stiff test for the Gunners' trophy credentials. However, Roberto Mancini's men come into the game off the back of a nervy draw with Liverpool and a damaging European defeat to Napoli.
Early pressure may well be the order of the day for the Gunners. Arsenal will also take confidence that they have lost just one of their last 58 midweek matches at Emirates Stadium and none of the last 27. Based on that evidence an Arsenal win at 21/10 (3.1) looks great value.
It is the first meeting of the two sides this season and Arsenal will be out to put down a marker ahead of the upcoming Premier League clash. A 2-1 win available at a tempting 33/4 (9.25) would certainly send Arsenal fans home happy in a game that could also see the return of ex-Gunner Samir Nasri, who is priced at 11/4 (3.75) to mark his return to Emirates Stadium with a goal.
Arsenal fans will be hoping to see their side show plenty of attacking intent and Gervinho, Marouane Chamakh, Ju Young Park and Andrey Arshavin will all be keen to demonstrate their ability to find the net. Park and Arshavin were the stars of the last round and are priced at 12/5 (3.4) and 3/1 (4.0) respectively to get on the score sheet again.
GunnersGaming would like to wish the team all the best against Man City. If you're new to GunnersGaming.com there is no better time to get started as we will refund your first three non-winning bets (up to the value of £25) and double your first deposit in the casino (up to the value of £200).

I arrived in Korea a couple of weeks ago and have settled nicely into my new school, however, I'm having trouble teaching the children in my 4-5 years class and the 6-8 years class, too.
I'm only 21 years old myself, so it seems like only yesterday that I left school myself, and now I'm teaching, but it is much tougher than I imagined. My school hasn't really provided me with any reading materials or training to make the days run smoothly.
With the class of 4-5 year olds, I am supposed to be teaching English, yet these are children who don't even have a grasp of their own language yet, so it seems pointless to me. And worst of all, lessons for these children are 50 minutes long! Currently, I will choose a picture storybook and read it to the class. Where possible, I will do actions and make noises to spice it up a bit. To avoid boring the children, I choose books which will take only 10 or so minutes to read. After that, I get them to draw characters from the story and then look at every drawing, writing some english words. The children then copy the words. But even doing this results in boredom and the lesson finishes much to early. What do you suggest?
And my 6 to 8 year old classes are only 30 minutes long. The children in these classes never seem to want to settle down and constantly ask for stickers and presents. They also want to do nothing but play bingo. By the time I get them settled with their storybooks and their workbooks, the lesson is over and I've not achieved anything.
Does anybody have some tips for me?

Arsène Wenger does not want to fuel the flames of the debate over violent tackling because he feels he has said his piece.
The Arsenal manager has long called for far heavier punishments to players who commit reckless challenges and, having been something of a lone voice on the matter, now finds himself surrounded by kindred spirits.
A wave of over-the-top tackles – and Danny Murphy's suggestion that managers need to take responsibility for their players' on-field behaviour – has kept the topic high on the agenda. And sure enough, Wenger was asked for his thoughts when he met reporters ahead of Saturday's game with Birmingham.
Did the Frenchman think there were Premier League players who set out to deliberately hurt opponents? Exasperated, Wenger threw the question back.
"What do you think? That all the injuries are coincidence? It's not God who tackles people, it's players," he replied.
"You know what I think. The newspapers were full of what I said and suddenly I'm not the only one any more. So I do not want to speak about that any more because I got a lot of stick in the whole country for what I said at the moment when I said it.
"You don't need to know more about what I said. I stick to what I said two months ago. I understand one thing: I cannot influence what happens in England so I shut my mouth."
After some coaxing Wenger did offer a new take on the subject, suggesting that England should follow France's disciplinary process to ensure stricter punishments were handed out to the worst offenders.
"We have to make sure that the players know when they go into the game that if they do something that the referee has not seen that is dirty they can get punished," he said.
"That happens in some other countries like France. You can be punished in France. A dirty tackle that the referee has not seen - you're punished. Even if the referee has seen the tackle and it's not punished you can still be punished. You can get six months."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
