Menopause |
My period is orange--Why?03/05/2007 |
I am only 30 and this month my period was strange it started out brown then heavy dark now its more orange someone told me menopause the blood could be orange but I am too young right is this normal ? also I been taking motrin alot since a neck injury could this be the cause ?
The color of menstrual blood has nothing to do with menopause. When blood falls on white fabric, it looks red at first and with time it turns brown. The same color change happens in the body if the blood comes out very slowly.

The wonderful folks at Nintendo finally let the cat out of the bag on this one. It looks like the sequel to Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a real thing and it's gracing the Wii U and 3DS. Nintendo, Project Sora, and Namco Bandai will combine their gaming knowledge and help craft this classic in the making.
What are we going to do to help these development teams out? Hmmm WE GOT IT! Here's a look at 25 new roster additions we want to see for Super Smash Bros 4. Since we now know Namco Bandai's on board, it's time for their icons to join the fray.

The Time is Now
Posted By DJella Gray On Nov 11 2011 @ 8:04 am In Carolina Panthers,NFL | No Comments
Week ten is up on football season and the league is looking to its Play-Off future. Teams like the Packers, Patriots, and the Saints have guaranteed their spot in the post season. When comes to team Panthers, the back half of the season is the time to prove that all the hype is worth the wait. After a much needed break from the team's 2-6 start, team Panthers will face the 4-4 Tennessee Titans in Bank of America Stadium. The point still remains that Carolina has areas of improvement ranging from consistent pass completion to overall defensive strategy.
The game day match is pretty simple. Team Panthers have better rushing, better passing, better defense (slightly), and better chance of winning…BUT Tennessee has the better record. Bottom line, if the Panthers want to be in the hunt for a Play-Off Wild Card the time to earn it begins now! The remaining 6 games are all MUST wins for the team and they have to face the Falcons and Saints AGAIN plus trips to Detroit and Houston will prove if the Panthers are worthy of Play-Off rivalry. Kick-Off is at 1pm uptown and Team Panthers are on the way to a winning season.
*side note* If John Fox and Tim Tebow have a better season record than Coach Rivera and the Panthers…Hmmm

Apparently, Matt Dillion has decided to roll his own filesystem for DragonFly. "Here is my initial outline of the filesystem design. It is open for discussion. Please feel to ask questions for anything you do not understand. I do not intend to start coding anything for at least two weeks. There are currently two rough spots in the design. First, how to handle segment overflows in a multi-master environment. Such overflows can occur when the individual masters or slaves have different historical data retention policies. Second, where to store the regeneratable indexes."

Sorry Matt, as much as Dragonfly sounds and looks cool (I tried v1.3) you're not going to find any users for your OS given Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD.
OTOH, if you can convince Tivo or Nokia to use Dragonfly, that would be cool.

Don Marostica, executive director of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, kicks off Economic Summit 2010 on Wednesday evening at The Steamboat Grand. Marostica's talk focused on the state's budget and employment patterns and what municipalities are doing to retain and expand companies.

Economic leader warns of drastic budget cuts at Steamboat Economic Summit
Don Marostica says state tourism funds could be at risk
Preserving millions of dollars in state tourism funds that fuel Steamboat's resort economy will require a very tough battle in 2011 as Colorado's next governor will be forced to make severe budget cuts immediately upon taking office, a state economic leader said Wednesday.

Ah computers, where would we be without them? Look where we are with them. Can you imagine how many lost and listless souls would be lounging around being bored if it were not for computers? When home it's the best way to waste time that I know, it sure beats mowing the lawn on a summers day. When outside I like to go 4 wheel driving and get back to nature.
Being 40 something, computers are still not easy for me but I am going to learn how to programme them one day, I might even try Linux. I like building computers, it's operating them I have trouble with.
I live in Australia and work in the communications industry. Once I had tried some BOINC projects I got hooked, I think it is the friendly competition and the fact that I am doing my bit for science.
I run Einstein@Home as I have been interested in Astronomy and Physics for a long time (don't understand a lot but still like it). Confirming what the great man predicted all those years ago is great for the Physics world and we will also learn more about how the Universe works.

Restaurant ReviewVietnam in the HeightsThe quirky charms of Huong ThaoAntonio Ramon antonioramonphotography.com It was the best of spring rolls, it was the worst of spring rolls. During its two-decade-plus perch on Juan Tabo, the Vietnamese restaurant Huong Thao has reinvented itself multiple times. Sushi service has come and gone, the décor has been upgraded, and the spring rolls have been reconfigured and downsized to the point where they are no longer the size of California-style burritos. All the while, what was once one of the few Vietnamese restaurants in the whole city has seen its novelty steadily eroded by the new crop of pho houses that have sprouted as part of the War Zone Renaissance. Antonio Ramon antonioramonphotography.com Huong Thao's isolation in the Northeast Heights is a double-edged sword. Its considerable charms are probably not enough to draw too many folks past the competition and up the mountain. But if you happen to be out that way, it's worth a stop. Seafood is a strength, which is funny, because the only thing fishier than seafood in the desert is seafood in the desert on the slopes of a mountain. The seafood clay pot, for instance, had a delicate, black peppery sauce that I wished there was more of. Above sauce level, the vegetables were bright and not-quite crunchy. Juicy scallops, clean tasting shrimp and impossibly soft squid, silky as tofu, filled the clay pot. Antonio Ramon antonioramonphotography.com Another great seafood dish is a family style hot pot, set up on your table above a little stove, alongside a platter of shrimp, squid, raw beef slices and a mountain of veggies, only some of which I recognized. The broth was a thinly veiled Thai-style tom yum. This was hardly a problem, as I'm a huge fan of that sour, acidic soup. The fact that there was more than a gallon of that simmering broth was just fine. While I would not call this place fusion, the dishes do wander. In addition to that Thai style broth, one of my favorite dishes is the Chinese-style steamed bass with soy, scallion and ginger sauce. Only a scattering of crispy onions on top put a Vietnamese stamp on the dish. Seafood is a strength, which is funny, because the only thing fishier than seafood in the desert is seafood in the desert on the slopes of a mountain. The breaded crispy calamari comes topped with stir-fried lemongrass, jalapeños and onions, and is tremendously satisfying with beer. Perhaps my favorite dish was a boring-sounding mung bean crepe. The bright yellow batter, made of mung bean and rice flour and coconut milk, is pan-fried to a deliciously pre-blackened state, filled with either shrimp, pork or tofu-veggie, and served folded like an omelet. The batter is mildly sweet and oddly satisfying, with almost a muskiness about it that made me wonder if the batter is fermented (it isn't). In hopes of determining which permutation of fillings is superior, I tried many versions, but it was always the one I was eating that I liked best. Pho doesn't seem to be a priority here, although it's decent, if a tad salty. And the noodles in my beef pho were kind of clumped together. Perhaps not surprisingly, the seafood pho was my phavorite (see what I did there?). Alas, all of the phos came with the smallest side salads I've seen in Albuquerque. And the spring rolls … they were awesome. And they were terrible. During my first visit I was excited to try the New Mexico roll with green chile and avocado, but it was carelessly rolled, and the filling was pretty bland. I couldn't taste the chile unless I mined it out. There were no herbs in the roll. And despite the kitchen's obvious skill with things from the sea, the nước chấm dipping sauce had no feeling, and seemed to contain little more than fish sauce, water and a few shreds of carrot. This was a problem whenever nước chấm accompanied the food, from the otherwise awesome papaya salad to that splendid crepe. In fairness, where fish sauce is concerned, I might be in the minority in wanting more of that fishy feeling. I returned for some shredded gluten spring rolls on a Friday night, and the place was nearly full. The rolls, as was the case with my first batch, were closer to the smallest in town than the biggest. But this time they were huge on the inside. When I bit into them, they literally exploded like popcorn from the pressure of the rolled contents. There were no noodles inside—thank God, because I hate that—but dense greenery and enough of that tasty shredded house-made wheat gluten to let you know it was there. If only it came with the nước chấm from Café Da Lat. With so much inconsistency, you may wonder why I kept going back. But the truth is, I really like this place. Perhaps over the years it has developed idiosyncrasies that can be gotten away with in the relatively competition-free bubble of Northeast Heights. Through the course of its evolutions, Huong Thao has remained a quirky, neighborhood restaurant. Like a tool that only works the way it's supposed to in the hands of its owner, this restaurant will give the most to those that know how to get it. Get the crepe. Get the seafood. Get the gluten.

Farmers Market Metrics Timeline
Farmers Market Coalition (FMC) and its partners advocate for the more than 8,200 markets with a unified message: that farmers markets offer multiple benefits to multiple audiences.
Preservation of rural livelihoods and farmland
Stimulation of local economies
Increased access to fresh, nutritious food
Support for healthy communities
FMC's Early Evaluation Work
In 2008, Farmers Market Coalition sponsored a trans•act fellowship in Los Angeles, to lead Market Umbrella's Neighborhood Exchange Evaluation Device (NEED) research in eight selected farmers markets throughout the southern California area. In addition, Stacy Miller, then FMC's Executive Secretary, served as an advisor to the trans•act research.
In 2010, the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) Communities Putting Prevention to Work Program (CPPW) funded the Community Food Security Coalition (CFSC) to provide technical assistance to their grantees as they sought to implement community-based healthy food interventions. This work, under project director Sara Padilla, included a technical assistance collaboration between CFSC and Farmers Market Coalition (FMC) to provide evaluation support to city and county public health agencies that had farmers markets in their projects. In the course of this process, FMC, with the assistance of consultants Suzanne Briggs and Darlene Wolnik, developed "Learning Circles" with the grantees to identify common characteristics, struggles, and successes of markets. Some of this work was presented during an FMC "SNAP/EBT Short Course" hosted at the national CFSC Conference in November 2011, receiving valuable input from participants as well as the markets that were members of the CPPW Learning Circles.
Summary Report Prototype Project January July 2014: An iterative design project, funded by the Knight Foundation created simple reporting templates for markets. Twelve markets participated in the 6-month project and led to metric graphics and one-page reports for the Farmers Market Metrics program.
Indicators for Impact April 2014 – March 2017: The Farmers Market Coalition collaborated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) to conduct a three-year research study, funded by USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI), to test metrics and data collection methodologies with nine markets across the country.
Farmers Market Metrics Training Materials October 2014 – March 2016: The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service's Farmers Market Promotion Program funded the Farmers Market Coalition to create an series of training materials for farmers market practitioners on effective data collection strategies. In 2017, the materials will be added to the Farmers Market Metrics data management site to be used by the FMM pilot projects, with a wider rollout expected later once the testing of the materials and site is completed.
D.C./VA Data-Driven Messaging Project October 2017 – September 2019: Goals of the project are to increase state capacity to support markets, collect data on market-level impacts, plan and implement content marketing strategies in Virginia and Washington D.C., and improve farmers market marketing content across the country.
Market Evaluation Background
The diagram below shows the components necessary for a market evaluation project. Farmers Market Metrics will ultimately provide links and resources for all these stages of measurement.
Over the years, farmers markets have used existing instruments and protocols for data collection and evaluation in markets. The Farmers Market Metrics Program identified, adapted and refined many of these instruments and protocols to be regularly used by markets with limited resources.
Background of FMM/History of data collection at markets
Metrics are, simply put, a standard of measurement. In the last few years, the term has been used to illustrate impacts at every level, from non-profits to governments. A metric compares two or more specific units of measurement, often expressed as {Number of X} per {Unit of time or space}. In a market context, a metric might be expressed as "Total producer sales per year".
The current list of metrics and additional resources on metrics
Data Collection Methods
Understanding the potential benefits and limitations of different types of data and the resources required to collect it can help markets make informed choices about what to collect and when. The key is to think through what types of data will work best given the market's metrics, capacity and goals.
More information about data collection
Data Entry
Data management and entry is the aggregation of clean data into one computer file (often a spreadsheet) where it can be stored and analyzed. For many markets, this step is the most difficult to manage properly, yet is crucial to any evaluation plan.
Analysis and Reporting
Analysis is the process of identifying patterns and correlations within raw data, translating it into usable information. Analysis can answer some important questions such as "How is this market benefiting vendors?" or "How are attitudes, behaviors and knowledge changing as a result of the market?
Data Management Portals
One of the most important parts of any measurement plan is how and where the data will be managed and stored. In recent years, cloud-based software has been adapted to offer many versions of data management systems. From vendor databases to data collection apps, the functionality of these sites continues to increase. Farmers Market Coalition shares information and works with other projects whenever possible to encourage a wide spectrum of options for markets. Learn More

Get the Recipe
Years ago, in a very misguided attempt to make the best hamburger known to man, I passed on the fluffy white buns in favor of slices from a crusty loaf of artisanal bread. You can imagine what happened next. Though tasty on its own, when toasted and topped with loads of fatty toppings, the slices cracked and fell apart, while simultaneously covering up the essential character of the burger. No good.
This is a roundabout way of saying that it's important to know what a specific loaf of bread can and cannot do. So when I got my hands on the astonishing bread from Cellar Door Provisions in Chicago, I decided to keep things as simple as possible, whipping up a straightforward batch of egg salad and serving it as an open-faced sandwich.
The egg salad is really easy. Boil some eggs (here's a great guide), chop some scallions and celery, stir together mayonnaise and lemon juice, and combine. While great on its own, I couldn't help but add some bacon to the party. The addition is completely up to you. But what's truly going to elevate this meal is the bread—I suggest only moving forward when you have some exceptional crusty wheat bread on-hand.

To our wonderful community of supporters and friends,
We started 2 Degrees to change the lives of hungry children around the world. Now we are taking the first step. Because of your incredible support, we are making our first donation of 10,800 nutrition packs to malnourished children in Malawi.
Lauren and I decided to visit our partners to see it all firsthand; we left for Malawi this past Saturday with Christine Smith, our Director of Digital Marketing, and Karen Sadler, a pediatrician with deep experience working with children in developing nations. Over a period of 10 days, we'll meet with both Valid Nutrition and Partners In Health. We'll tour Valid's manufacturing facility in Lilongwe, where they recently completed our first production of nutrition packs (see photo).
By producing in Malawi, Valid employs local workers and supports local farmers. We're extremely excited to meet with these individuals and hear their stories. We'll also visit Partners In Health at a Community Health Center in Neno. There we'll truly see the impact of your support: the delivery of nutrition packs to children in need.
Lauren and I chose the name "2 Degrees" to evoke a unique connection: that between consumers here and hungry children around the world. Over the next few weeks, we'll show you the impact of this incredible connection you've made. As a result of your purchases of 2 Degrees bars, we are able to give critical support to children in need in Malawi.
Thank you for making this first delivery possible. Let's make it the first of many.

The Washington Redskins are now sitting at their 80 player limit after 9 players were cut. Most importantly, and not surprisingly, is WR Malcolm Kelly. Kelly had high hopes when drafted in 2008 but spent the majority of time injured.
The other cuts are DB Dante Barnes, QB Ben Chappell, O Xavier Fulton, DB Tyrone Grant, LB Eric McBride, O lineman Corey O'Daniel, K Clint Stitser and TE Joe Torchia.
About the Author
Written by Mercedes Green
I lived in Greene County Virginia for about 5 years of my childhood. This span of time was enough to imprint the love of the Washington Redskins (and hate of the Dallas Cowboys) into my life forever, even though I am Canadian and still live in Canada. I am in no way an expert on sports, football, or even the Redskins, but I do absolutely adore them, their fans and their home state(s).
My favourite Redskin is and will always be Darrell Green (not because we share the same last name lol). I've adored Chris Cooley since he joined the team from the 2004 draft and love London Fletcher.
Hail to the Redskins! See you October 30th in my home town of Toronto.

San Clemente planners support La Pata extension
After hearing no public objections to a proposed route to extend Avenida La Pata between San Clemente and Ortega Highway, San Clemente planning commissioners supported the plan on a 7-0 vote Wednesday night.
The proposed alignment is on the Talega side of a ridgeline, and there have been objections from some Talega residents in the past three years. County officials worked out a compromise route, putting the road farther from Talega homes than the original proposal and concealing the road behind an earthen berm.

The only residents who spoke at Wednesday night's hearing were from San Clemente's Forster Ranch community, on the other side of the ridge. They sought – and got – assurances from project manager Harry Persaud that an alternative route on their side of the ridge is "not going anywhere."
The Orange County Master Plan for Arterial Highways has always shown La Pata on the Talega side of the ridge and it should stay there, Forster Ranch residents said.
Some of them told commissioners they would like the county to delete from the La Pata plan a proposal to extend Camino del Rio – a Forster Ranch street that now dead-ends – across a ridge to hook up with La Pata.
"Do we have to do the Del Rio extension?" Robin Rutherford said. "A lot of the people that live there love that it's quiet and peaceful, and if you add that little extension it's going to be very noisy."
Akram Hindiyeh, San Clemente's traffic engineer, said the Del Rio extension is on the city and county master plans as a connector street and should relieve traffic on Camino Vera Cruz in Forster Ranch. Some residents suggested it also could increase traffic on Camino de los Mares.
Brenda Wisneski, project planner for the city, said deleting the Del Rio connection would affect the county's master plan and could involve a long process.
Planning commissioners said they want the county to be aware of residents' concerns when the county Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors hold hearings early next year. The county is the lead agency on the project.
Residents were told the proposed road extensions are at least five years away and that there remains a "huge" funding gap. Persaud said La Pata could cost $70 million, of which only $33 million is currently committed, and most of that is tied to future development of homes in Rancho Mission Viejo.
He said the county is looking for state and federal grants and Measure M funding and that making the plan "shelf-ready" now will help it compete for grants.

A bass cab that's ready to hit the road with certified Ampeg tone and style with a kick-ass head to match.
Add the PF-500 Portaflex and PF115HE Stack from Ampeg to your road gear and ensure your bass will get all the love it deserves in the mix. Featuring the PF-115HE with it's 15" Eminence driver and the PF-500 Portaflex with it's 500W of driving power, and you'll be hitting the high road with your low end.
PF-115HE Bass Speaker Cab
Drawing from the classic design of Ampeg's legendary Portaflex cabinets, the PF-115HE bass speaker cabinet combines vintage styling with the performance of a modern 450W cab.
The PF-115HE's 15" Eminence driver pushes out true Ampeg tone along with a 1" high-frequency driver with a level control for dialing in the perfect amount of highs.
Best of all, since it's a Portaflex, you can attach any PF Series head to the top, flip it inside and hit the road Ampeg style.
PF-500 Portaflex
Ampeg's Portaflex PF-500 bass head delivers a staggering 500W of power in an ultra-compact design providing pure Ampeg tone in an extremely portable package. Precise tone controls and gig-friendly input/output options provide ultimate flexibility. Pair it with Ampeg's PF Series flip-top cabinets for the vintage styling and portability of the iconic Portaflex originals.
The tone stack on the PF-500 provides an extensive array of tone controls for shaping your sound. Bass, mid, and treble controls come standard with a 5-position mid switch for finding the perfect midrange level for your sound. Ultra Hi/Lo boosts add even more on-the-fly options, and an onboard compressor keeps your levels in check and your tone punchy and tight.
At the gig or in the studio, the PF-500 is ready for action with a balanced direct out with pre/post-EQ selector, -40dB pad, and ground lift. An effects loop with dedicated mix control is footswitchable with the optional Ampeg AFP2 2-button switch.

Comments about Ampeg PF-500 Portaflex and PF-115HE Stack:
Very impressed so far. I feel like I finally have an amp that I can use with any instrument or in any venue. At this point, my only dilemma is whether or not to get the second cab. I certainly haven't needed it, but it would look cool.......
I play both a Fender Jazz and an electric upright (NS Design NXT). I wanted an amp that would work with both. This amp is feature rich and gives you more than enough controls to dial in the sound you are looking for. What was really surprising is that I had been using a Fishman Pro-EQ preamp with my NXT, but I actually like the sound better without it using this rig.
One important thing to note is that I really like the Ampeg sound and this amp definitely has "that" sound. If you prefer a totally clean sound, this may not be the amp for you. However, I feel confident that for most people there are more than enough controls to dial in something you will really like. Again, if you are an Ampeg fan like me, then you will love this setup. If not, you would probably be better off giving it a test drive first.
I've only played a couple of gigs so far (both with the NXT) and the results have been very positive. One event was an outdoor amphitheater event with the community wind ensemble (about 65 musicians) and I was NOT mixed into the house. I had the gain at 1 o'clock and the volume at 12 and I was told it sounded great and was very well balanced. The other was at church where I am XLR-ed into the house (post EQ). I have to say it sounded flat out awesome - deep, full, rich sound that was not muddy (in fact it was very articulate). I normally use a Lowdown 110 (which I like a lot) in that setting, but the Portaflex rig sounded SO much better. I also play in a jazz combo, but I am supremely confident at this point that my new rig will shine in that venue as well.
Overall, I feel like I have finally found the pro rig that I've been wanting that has enough versatility to meet all of my bass needs. Oh, and the portability is awesome. I REALLY like the flip top. I followed Dino's instructions on You-Tube for mounting - really easy. All you need is a phillips screwdriver.
The cabinet construction is very solid. The tolex is really thick and looks like it will wear well. I also have a Micro-VR setup and the tolex on the portaflex is looks MUCH more durable. Like others, my only real gripe is the casters. Seriously, they should be twice the size, especially if you're going to stack another cab on top. I haven't even used mine because they look so ridiculously small. I'm going to see if I can find something better at the hardware store.
Right now I think it's the best bang for the buck, particularly if you are an Ampeg fan like me.
Comments about Ampeg PF-500 Portaflex and PF-115HE Stack:
I would Highly recomend this amp to any looking for a cool looking vintage amp with that great ampeg sound. I purchased both the 1-15 and the 2-10 cab for a thunderous 500watts of ampeg power, it sounds phenomenal!
thinking of doubling the stack I love it so much.
Beware my only complaint is the casters SUCK they fell off after about 5 uses and I baby the crap out of this rig because i love it so much.
This is a great sounding Amp, it don't get any better than this for the money. but the wheels are not for using outdoors
Comments about Ampeg PF-500 Portaflex and PF-115HE Stack:
I wanted to give everyone reading this review some better in site to this new amp now that i've owned it for almost a year now, and have seen many a gig with it.
First off this is a great sounding versatile amp, built well and great vintage looks, i have a picture below in another review, so you can see I have booth cabs the 115 and 210 so i'm running a full 500 watts.
That being said after doing a few shows with it i noticed it does not project the sound forward,
aat first i thought it was the room then I thought it was outdoors and being 80% of the time I am going through the PA system it was never a real problem, if need be i was put in the monitors.
this rig does not push/project the sound pass 10' from the front of the speakers, so if you are further away or off center of the amp you do not hear it.
today frustrated at an outdoor gig, i opened up the cabs to look inside and realize there are no port holes in these cabs!! all that beautiful Bass Sound and Air is trapped back there and has no way out , i'm no expert but 99% of all bass amps have ports holes or scoop bottoms, so now i need to find a fix or get a regular 4-10 cab and give up that beautiful vintage look.
maybe this was geared more towardes a studio amp.

Comments about Ampeg PF-500 Portaflex and PF-115HE Stack:
I have been playing professionally for 35 yrs and I have used a variety of bass rigs over the years. I found myself scaling down a few years ago and used a monitor mix as my stage amp for many years. However, the band I have been playing in for the last 6 yrs has some old school (loud) musicians that crank it pretty high. The combo I was using (popular bass combo rig) gave out on me, not enough power. (220 watts) I spoke to some other bass players and read a lot of reviews. Since I couldn't get away from my small town (no music store) to try an amp out live (which I prefer before I buy) I ordered the PF 350 with 115 stack. When I recieved rig and tried it out I really liked the numerous different sounds I could dial in. However, that night at an outdoor gig, this amp shut down on me 3 different times before I dialed the volume down. I couldn't hear myself the rest of the night, had to be put through monitor mix which defeats the purpose of a bass amp. Next day I called Ampeg and was told to get the PF500. Played with it last weekend and I do believe I have found my rig. Still not real happy with Low b sound but maybe that can be tweaked. Seems weak on that Low B. But, I have some power now and no crapping out at last gig. Hope it holds up!
Comments about Ampeg PF-500 Portaflex and PF-115HE Stack:
I have been very critical of Ampeg's BA series combos because of their poor quality since they started Chinese production. I do have to admit I am impressed with the PF-500 Portaflex amp and PF-115HE cab. Seems well built and the sound is awesome...very warm for a non-tube amp. I'll put this to the real test and report back in a few months to see if they hold up but so far I'm very happy and want to congratulate Ampeg on getting rid of the BA series and get back to the basics.
Comments about Ampeg PF-500 Portaflex and PF-115HE Stack:
I got this new Ampeg about a month ago and all is well except having used it on 4 gigs I have to warn you. The casters on this suck big time. I am very careful with my equipment but after a little rolling on concrete to get into the gigs 2 casters pulled away from the cabinet. The amp and cab sound great but don't use the casters!

Comments about Ampeg PF-500 Portaflex and PF-115HE Stack:
The moment I plugged my '76 Fender P-Bass into the PF-500, the cooling fan wouldn't start, the fault light turned on, and no sound came out.
Seller sent me 2 replacements, Ampeg sent me another, all with the same problem.
Great service from seller and Ampeg, they were very helpful, but I think the PF-500 has a very serious design flaw.
Comments about Ampeg PF-500 Portaflex and PF-115HE Stack:
Nice cab and head but the casters suck!
The cab sounds great but the casters fell off after a few uses. They were installed with tiny screws and immediately pulled off! I reinstalled them with heavier bolts and now they're fine. You would think that heavy caster mounts would be a no brainer but I guess some engineers have no brains.

Audrina and Serena part 3

Author's infos
Gender: female Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Wed 23rd of March 2011
Serena got slowly to her feet, grinning at me. Our eyes were locked on eachother and the contact seemed so intimate even though we weren't touching just yet. My best friend and soon to be lover lay back on my bed, her dark hands clutching the quilted breadspread in anticipation. I let my gaze travel across her body for several moments so that I might drink in this vision of beauty and remember it for a very long while. I watched her shiver under my inspection and finally moved towards the bed on legs that felt gummy like jello with nerves.
I wanted to please her. I had the desire to make her cry out my name and shake like I sometimes did when pleasing myself. Starting out carefully, I let my fingertips tenderly walk across her skin. She was so warm. I could feel the heat radiating off of her young body and see the flush in her cheeks. I put my palms flat on either one of her thighs and moved them sensually up the tanned, toned flesh that was there. Serena bit her lip, her eyes glued to my hands and the movements they made. I traced the edge of her bikini bottoms teasingly, going around her leg and up to the waistband, around the other leg and back again. The dampness of her pussy juices was soaking through the flimsy material. The moist stain was clearly visible to me and the smell was something I couldn't describe. I tiptoed my fingers across the place where her lips would be, watching her jump under my tender touch. Serena whimpered a little, begging me to do more. I only nodded and moved to untie the bottoms, taking my time with the knots as if that in itself was a labourious process. I stared unabashedly at her dripping flower, but ignored it. Instead I took my tongue to the bit of skin just above her little mound. Her grip on the bedspread tightened as I moved my tongue in little circles across her stomach and up towards her chest. I was so hungry for her now. I wanted to do so many things I had seen and read about but I knew it would be so much sweeter and meaningful if I were to take my time. I bit gently at her left nipple through the fabric of her top, grinning at the gasp that tore out of her mouth. I ran my tongue along the edges of the fabric and peeled back one of the cups to suck her puffy, sweet little teat into my warm mouth. I suckled and moved my tongue in circles around the sensitive nub, lifting my lips away without haste. I tugged at the ties holding the useless garment to her body and tossed it across the room. Moving to the other breast, I continued my languid loving. I moved my hand up her body and up to the boob I was ignoring, tweaking the tender nipple I had been teasing only moments before. Serena's breathing was deep and quick. She was so aroused now, and I couldn't wait any longer. I abruptly shifted my position and crawled into the place between her thighs. I moaned a little and bit down hard on my lip at the thought of finally getting to taste her. Teasingly, I let my fingers run up and down her drenched lips for a few moments until I got the nerve to pull them carefully apart. Gazing at her little hole and the pretty way her inner lips fell, I couldn't wait any longer and set my mouth upon her hot wetness. She was gooey and delicious, musky and fresh. I sucked at her tiny love canal, trying to liberate more of the juice. It was as if we were in the desert and Serena was my beautiful oasis. I shoved my tongue slowly inside of her, feeling the texture and movement of her muscles as she clenched involuntarily from the pleasure. I drew a path with my spit up towards her clit, enticingly ignoring the bud itself and running circles around the hood. Her little love button poked out, and I sucked at it. Serena jumped and I felt the gush of fluid that accompanied her movements and the low, unintelligable groan that left her mouth. I flicked my tongue back and forth, side to side. Playing with her as her breathing continued to hitch and hurry, taking my time. I felt that she was close and moved back to her dripping wet snatch. She tasted to good, I could have happily sat there for hours and driven her crazy with desire. I moved my tongue in circles inside of her and pushed it in and out in a simulation of real sex. Her legs were shaking, and I couldn't wait to make her cum anylonger. licking my way back up to her clit, I sucked on it hard for a minute of two. Her knuckles were white with the force that she held on to the blanket and I could hear her whispering my name and crying out passionately. "Audrina....mmmm....ah, oh my god...mmmm.." I flicked my tongue across her clit fast and she was suddenly silent, convusling and shaking as I unreletlessly continued to make love to her. She shook and shivered for a minute and pushed me away, gasping. I looked up in surprise and she was grinning at me so sexily. "I..I couldn't take it anymore." Serena admitted quietly, her eyes wide as she stared at my naked body. She was still aroused, but I could tell from the twinkle in her eyes that I would pay for all the teasing I had given her. "Besides that, I think it's time you got a taste of your own medicine..."

Story highlights
- The 20 tourists have walked to safety after their ice floe drifted back toward land
- Helicopters are standing by to take them to a base
- The group was trapped on a chunk of ice in the Canadian Arctic
- The tourists, including two Americans, received air-dropped survival kits that included rafts
A group of 20 tourists, including two Americans, who were trapped at sea on a drifting ice floe in the Canadian Arctic are now safe after a stroke of luck.
Their sheet of ice bumped into another one early Wednesday, the Canadian coast guard said. The second ice floe was touching land.
"They were able to walk from one ice floe to the other to land," marine coordinator Christian Cafiti said. "Everyone is safe and sound."
A rescue plane dropped survival kits onto the 3½-square-mile frozen sheet Tuesday, after the expedition alerted authorities to their plight. The kits included satellite phones, inflatable rafts and food rations.
The plane kept an eye on them while they waited for helicopters to arrive.
When the copters arrived early Wednesday, bad weather prevented them from hoisting the group on board. They are standing by to airlift them to an Arctic station.
"We are having regular conversations with them through satellite phone," Cafiti said.
The tourists do not appear to be in danger of exposure. They are dressed warmly and have been able to remain dry.
Camping surprise
The tourists were camping on the ice when the frozen sheet -- three times the size of New York City's Central Park -- broke free early Tuesday, carried off by the tide.
"Ice breaking off is a very common thing at this time of year," Canadian air force spokesman Steven Neta said.
The floe drifted two miles away from land and appeared to start to crumble, Neta said. Had it fallen apart, the three rubber rafts were more than large enough to hold the whole group.
The cold also was not too harsh. Even that far north, daytime highs in June often rise well above freezing.

"Exter" is the popular pronunciation of Exeter, and "Kerton" is Crediton. The tradition is that the woman in question was going for the first time to Exeter, and seeing the grand old church of Kerton (Crediton), supposed it to be Exeter Cathedral. "That's Exter," she said, "and my journey is over;" but alas! she had still eight miles to walk before she reached her destination. Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894

The "American Woodsman"
As the frontier moved westward and wildlife declined, the tireless Audubon drove himself to record its wonders
December 1959 | Volume 11, Issue 1
To such ends and others, in the past we Americans managed to wipe out astronomical numbers of birds. In recent times, however, man and bird have achieved a tolerable state of coexistence in our part of the world. Country folk may continue to worry about the nuisance of hawks and crows, and city dwellers about the untidy habits of pigeons and starlings. But we have abandoned the practice of massacring songbirds to decorate our ladies' hats. Notwithstanding the conflicting interests of our Air Force, we have provided peaceful sanctuary for the whooping crane, and have even granted immunity to the peregrine falcons that occasionally rocket down from the heights of tall buildings for tasty bits of the more domesticated birds that, in a horseless age, still feed as before in the city streets.
On their side, the birds—some of them—have accommodated their habits to the strange ways of man, finding new homes in chimneys and barns, or abandoning their ancestral forest habitat for life among the commuters in our burgeoning suburbs. And everywhere, for the past fifty years or so, the watchful eye of an Audubon society guards their interests.
There is a measure of irony in the fact that if any such organization had existed during the lifetime of John James Audubon, we might never have heard of the man, much less celebrated his memory as a great pioneer naturalist. In the course of compiling his mammoth inventory of the birds of America, Audubon must have killed a formidable number of specimens. He once boasted that it was a poor day's hunting when he shot fewer than a hundred. Like a number of his tales, this one may be taller than the actual truth. On the other hand, his diary candidly reports the amusement he occasionally took in firing into a flock of birds to test his excellent marksmanship, or simply pour le sport . Once, on December 25, 1810, with a party of Shawnee Indians, he caught a lakeful of swans in a pitiless cross fire, until the surface of the water was "covered with birds floating with their backs downwards, and their heads sunk in the water, and their legs kicking in the air." After eating a meal of pecannut and bear-fat soup, while the squaws worked into the night, Audubon went to sleep before the campfire "very well satisfied with [his] Christinas sport."
Which is no stick to beat Audubon with. In his heyday the American wilderness was just about the last place in the world to expect the prevention of cruelty to wild creatures or the preservation of any living thing save the human interloper, perhaps, and his livestock. The forests of the New World and all the game that sought their cover were "inexhaustible." Yet they would have to give way to man and his works. There would be time enough to regret the wasteful plundering that went with pioneering when the nation finally spread out over and settled down on its three billion acres of virgin land.
Audubon never did become a conservationist as the word is understood these days. Even as he picked oft his huge toll of feathered specimens, he was aware that his beloved frontier world was rapidly vanishing about him. He did not pretend to say whether the changes were for the better or for the worse. He only knew with passionate conviction that no one coming after him would ever have the same opportunity to record the birds of North America in their primeval haunts, and that realization drove him mercilessly to finish his inventory before it was too late.
He needed all manner of variants to complete his studies, and from the beginning he hired hunters when his own gun for some pressing reason was idle. In later years, when he was obliged to remain in England to attend to publication matters, he wrote his naturalist friend, the Reverend John Bachman of Charleston, pleading for more specimens: "Take to your gun … go to the Woods, and go to the shores, or if you cannot at all send some worthy one on whom you can and I also depend … It will save me one year of Shooting and of ransacking the Woods singly. …"

Tiivistelmä: | This book offers new perspectives on how community reproduces sexuality in the changing social environment brought on by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Malawi. Based on authentic anthropological data, this volume shows how community uses theatre and masks to influence individual behaviour relating to sexuality. As the book challenges the dichotomy between traditional and modern ways of understanding community, it offers a commentary on international health education. This volume is used as textbook at universities and polytechnics. It opens a window for any reader interested in understanding the complexities of sexual practice in African life.
David Korpela has lived 16 years in Africa, 12 years in Kenya and 4 years in Malawi, where this research is based. Since his youth, he has been exploring the culture of communities in this book in collaboration with the Canadian anthropologist Claude Boucher. Korpela completed his BA at Queen's University, Canada. This volume is based on his Masters' Thesis at the University of Jyväskylä. Korpela is currently working as the Country Representative for Finn Church Aid in Haiti. |

- - check out my gypsy vanner!
check out my gypsy vanner! Hey guys! Just wondering what you guys think of my gypsy, I've had him a little over a year. He's from a small farm in England and I don't know his lineage, but I don't really care because he's the love of my life. Just let me know what you think, not really looking for a huge critique of his conformation. I'm just curious because we get some pretty funny looks sometimes and I want to make sure they're not because he has some major flaw i'm missing hahahttp://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com.../5/2/kesi2.jpghttp://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com...si_-_front.jpghttp://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com...2/img_0486.jpghttp://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com...2/100_0345.jpghttp://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com.../2/50589_0.jpg |
Don't know much about Vanner confo but he is just absolutely gorgeous. I love hairy horses. |
:DWOW He is Stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

He is gorgeous!!! |
I bet the looks were just jealousy, he's stunning! |
He is beautiful! I agree with the pp, onlookers are just probably jealous. |
Do the looks come from others who have vanners or people with traditional breed horses? I don't see anything at all wrong with him. Maybe it is because his mane is just ridiculously long. |
He is gorgoeus!! I love huge fluffy horses! they are so cute ^^ |

Thank you for the supplement in Friday's paper celebrating athletics in the Yampa Valley. It's great to recognize their achievements and impart the tenants of hard work, commitment and determination to many of our younger, up-and-coming student athletes.
This community is rife with businesses and individuals who recognize and support our athletes from the T-ball teams on a Tuesday afternoon to our varsity squads playing under the lights on a Friday. One of the biggest testaments to this support was evident last Tuesday night. About 300 people packed the Steamboat Springs High School commons area for the second annual Sailor Luau. The luau is a cornerstone fundraiser for the Steamboat Springs Booster Club, and this event is tantamount to supplying the funds for the Pio Utu/Booster Club Scholarship. With the help of Freshies, Steamboat Smokehouse and Rick Spencer, the attendees enjoyed a fabulous meal while members of various athletic teams ensured that everyone had everything they needed. A live auction, door prizes and a raffle drawing supplied the guests with some great prizes from companies like Ski Haus, B&K Distributing, Excel Gymnastics, Terry Sports and many other private donors. This led to the grand finale of the evening when student athletes from Steamboat performed a Samoan dance routine under the tutelage of Pio himself. It was indeed a wonderful event, and I am especially proud of the alumni who had returned to attend the event.
We were fortunate to have Stan Whittemore in attendance to accept his Fan of the Year award. And we were pleased to announce girl's lacrosse coach Betsy Frick as Coach of the Year. Many volunteers were needed to pull off an event of this magnitude, and I am especially thankful for the work of Bette VanDahl, who was responsible for overseeing this event. She had some wonderful help in Karen DeLine, Mary Melius, Linda Stark, Mary Jo Weidel and Sandi Crouch. And we certainly would be remiss in not acknowledging Guerin Lewis and his talents in entertaining us during dinner.
We are all mostly aware of the funding challenge that has reared its head recently. The support shown on nights like this make me feel that, while we still have work to do, there is light at the end of the tunnel. As I sat back at the end of Tuesday night and reflected on the evening, I was a bit surprised at the emotion that ran over me as I saw how truly blessed our children are to have the support that they do. This support comes not only from their family and coaches but also from the community as a whole. This event was another in a long line of events that has shown just how important our students are and how important Sailors athletics are to the student athletes and the community.
This is an annual event every spring, and even putting aside the fundraising aspect of it, it is a great way for the community to come together for an evening to enjoy one another's company and celebrate our student athletes who make us all so proud.
