Extra-vehicular Activity
Extra-vehicular activity (EVA) is any activity done by an astronaut or cosmonaut outside of a spacecraft beyond the Earth's appreciable atmosphere. The term most commonly applies to a spacewalk made outside a craft orbiting Earth (such as the International Space Station), but also has applied to lunar surface exploration (commonly known as moonwalks) performed by six pairs of American astronauts in the Apollo program from 1969 to 1972. On each of the last three of these missions, astronauts also performed deep-space EVAs on the return to Earth, to retrieve film canisters from the outside of the spacecraft. Astronauts also used EVA in 1973 to repair launch damage to Skylab, the United States' first space station.
A "Stand-up" EVA (SEVA) is where the astronaut does not fully leave a spacecraft, but is completely reliant on the spacesuit for environmental support.[1] Its name derives from the astronaut "standing up" in the open hatch, usually to film or assist a spacewalking astronaut.
EVAs may be either tethered (the astronaut is connected to the spacecraft; oxygen and electrical power can be supplied through an umbilical cable; no propulsion is needed to return to the spacecraft), or untethered. Untethered spacewalks were only performed on three missions in 1984 using the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), and on a flight test in 1994 of the Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER). A SAFER is a safety device worn on tethered U.S. EVAs, since the capability of returning to the spacecraft is essential.
Russia, the United States and China have demonstrated the capability to conduct an EVA.
Development history
NASA planners invented the term extra-vehicular activity in the early 1960s for the Apollo program to land men on the Moon, because the astronauts would leave the spacecraft to collect lunar material samples and deploy scientific experiments. To support this, and other Apollo objectives, the Gemini program was spun off to develop the capability for astronauts to work outside a two-man Earth orbiting spacecraft. However, the Soviet Union was fiercely competitive in holding the early lead it had gained in manned spaceflight, so the Soviet Communist Party, led by Nikita Khrushchev, ordered the hasty conversion of its single-pilot Vostok capsule into a two- or three-person craft named Voskhod, in order to compete with Gemini and Apollo.[2] The Soviets were able to launch two Voskhod capsules before the first manned Gemini was launched.
The Soviets' avionics technology was not as advanced as that of the United States, so the Voskhod cabin could not have been left depressurized by an open hatch; otherwise the air-cooled electronics would have overheated. Therefore a spacewalking cosmonaut would have to enter and exit the spacecraft through an airlock. By contrast, the Gemini capsule's avionics were designed so the cabin could be exposed to the vacuum of space when one of two large hatches was opened, so no airlock was required, and both the spacewalking astronaut and his companion command pilot were in vacuum during the EVA. Due to the different designs of the spacecraft, the American and Soviet space programs define the duration of an EVA differently. The Soviet (now Russian) definition is the time when the outer airlock hatch is open and the cosmonaut is in a vacuum. An American EVA begins when the spacewalking astronaut has at least his head outside of the spacecraft.[3]
As they had with the first satellite and first man in space, the Soviets again stunned the world on March 18, 1965 with the first spacewalk (and the first EVA) performed by Alexey Leonov from the Voskhod 2 spacecraft, for 12 minutes outside the spacecraft. Leonov had no means to control his motion other than pulling on his 50.7-foot (15.5 m) tether. After the flight, he claimed this was easy, but his space suit ballooned from its internal pressure against the vacuum of space, stiffening so much that he could not activate the shutter on his chest-mounted camera.[3]
At the end of his space walk, the suit stiffening caused a more serious problem: Leonov had to re-enter the capsule through the inflatable cloth airlock, 3.96 feet (1.21 m) in diameter and 8.25 feet (2.51 m) long. After his spacewalk, he improperly entered the airlock head-first and got stuck sideways. He could not get back in without reducing the pressure in his suit, risking "the bends". This added another 12 minutes to his time in vacuum, and he was overheated by 1.8 °C (3.2 °F) from the exertion. It would be almost four years before the Soviets tried another EVA. They misrepresented to the press how difficult Leonov found it to work in weightlessness and concealed the problems encountered until after the end of the Cold War.[3]
The first American spacewalk was performed on June 3, 1965, by Edward H. White, II from the second manned Gemini flight, Gemini 4, for 21 minutes, on a 25-foot (7.6 m) tether. White was the first to control his motion in space with a Hand-Held Maneuvering Unit, which worked well but only carried enough propellant for 20 seconds. White found his tether useful for limiting his distance from the spacecraft but difficult to use for moving around, contrary to Leonov's claim.[3] However, a defect in the capsule's hatch latching mechanism caused difficulties opening and closing the hatch, which delayed the start of the EVA and put White and his crewmate at risk of not getting back to Earth alive.[4]
No EVAs were planned on the next three Gemini flights. The next EVA was planned to be made by David Scott on Gemini 8, but that mission had to be aborted due to a critical spacecraft malfunction before the EVA could be conducted. Astronauts on the next three Gemini flights (Eugene Cernan, Michael Collins, and Richard Gordon), performed several EVAs, but none was able to successfully work for long periods outside the spacecraft without tiring and overheating.
Finally, on November 13, 1966, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin became the first to successfully work in space without tiring, on the Gemini 12 last flight. Aldrin worked outside the spacecraft for 2 hours and 6 minutes, in addition to two stand-up EVAs in the spacecraft hatch for an additional 3 hours and 24 minutes. Aldrin's interest in scuba diving inspired the use of underwater EVA training to simulate weightlessness, which has been used ever since to allow astronauts to practice techniques of avoiding wasted muscle energy.
On January 16, 1969, the Soviet Union achieved the first EVA crew transfer from one spacecraft to another when Aleksei Yeliseyev and Yevgeny Khrunov transferred from Soyuz 5 to Soyuz 4, which were docked together. This was the second Soviet EVA, and it would be almost another nine years before the Soviets performed their third.[3]
The first EVA on the lunar surface was performed by Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on July 21, 1969 (UTC), after the Apollo 11 Moon landing. This first Moon walk lasted 2 hours, 36 minutes. A total of fifteen Moon walks were performed by members of six Apollo crews, including Charles "Pete" Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, David Scott, James Irwin, John Young, Charles Duke, Eugene "Gene" Cernan, and Dr. Harrison "Jack" Schmitt. Cernan was the last Apollo astronaut to step off the surface of the Moon.[3]
File:Astronaut Charles Duke with a hammer on the lunar surface - pone.0006614.s003.ogv The first EVA in deep space was made on August 5, 1971, by American Al Worden, to retrieve a film and data recording canister from the Apollo 15 Service Module on the return trip from the Moon. Worden was assisted by James Irwin, doing a standup EVA in the Command Module hatch. This was repeated by Ken Mattingly and Charles Duke on Apollo 16 and by Ronald Evans and Harrison Schmitt on Apollo 17.[3]
The first EVA repairs of a spacecraft were made by Charles "Pete" Conrad, Joseph Kerwin, and Paul J. Weitz on May 26, June 7, and June 19, 1973, on the Skylab 2 mission. They rescued the functionality of the launch-damaged Skylab space station by freeing a stuck solar panel, deploying a solar heating shield, and freeing a stuck circuit breaker relay. The Skylab 2 crew made three EVAs, and a total of ten EVAs were made by the three Skylab crews.[3] They found that activities in weightlessness required about 2 1/2 times the duration as on Earth because many astronauts suffered spacesickness early in their flights.[5]
After Skylab, no more EVAs were made by the United States until the advent of the Space Shuttle program in the early 1980s. In this period, the Soviets resumed EVAs, making four from the Salyut 6 and Salyut 7 space stations between December 20, 1977, and July 30, 1982.[3]
When the United States resumed EVAs on April 7, 1983, astronauts started using an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) for self-contained life support independent of the spacecraft. Also, for the first time, American astronauts used an airlock to enter and exit the spacecraft like the Soviets. Accordingly, the American definition of EVA start time was redefined to when the astronaut switches the EMU to battery power.
Capability milestones
- The first metalwork in open space consisting in works of welding, brazing and metal spraying were conducted by cosmonauts Svetlana Savitskaya and Vladimir Dzhanibekov of the Soviet Union on July 25, 1984. To perform these activities a specially designed URI multipurpose tool was used during a 3 hr, 30 min EVA outside the Salyut 7 space station.[6][7][8]
- The first untethered spacewalk was made by American Bruce McCandless II on February 7, 1984, during Challenger mission STS-41-B, utilizing the Manned Maneuvering Unit. He was subsequently joined by Robert L. Stewart during the 5 hour 55 minute spacewalk. Such a self-contained spacewalk was first attempted by Eugene Cernan in 1966 on Gemini 9A, but Cernan could not reach the maneuvering unit without tiring.
- The first three-person EVA was performed on May 13, 1992, as the third EVA of STS-49, the maiden flight of Endeavour.[9] Pierre Thuot, Richard Hieb, and Thomas Akers conducted the EVA to hand-capture and repair a non-functional Intelsat VI-F3 satellite. As of 2013[update] it was the only three-person EVA.[10]
- The first EVA to perform an in-flight repair of the Space Shuttle was by American Steve Robinson on August 3, 2005, during "Return to Flight" mission STS-114. Robinson was sent to remove two protruding gap fillers from Discovery's heat shield, after engineers determined there was a small chance they could affect the shuttle upon re-entry. Robinson successfully removed the loose material while Discovery was docked to the International Space Station.
- The longest EVA as of 2007, was 8 hours and 56 minutes, performed by Susan J. Helms and James S. Voss on March 11, 2001.[11]
Personal cumulative duration records
- Russian Anatoly Solovyev holds both the record for most EVAs and for the greatest cumulative duration spent in EVA (16 EVAs; 82 hr and 22 min).
- Michael Lopez-Alegria holds the American record (10 EVAs; 67 hr and 40 min).
- Christer Fuglesang holds the European (non-Russian) record (5 EVAs; 31 hr and 55 min).[11]
National, ethnic and gender firsts
- The first woman to perform an EVA was Soviet Svetlana Savitskaya on July 25, 1984 while aboard the Salyut 7 space station. Her EVA lasted 3 hours and 35 minutes.
- The first American woman to perform an EVA was Kathryn D. Sullivan on October 11, 1984 during Space Shuttle Challenger mission STS-41-G.
- The first EVA by a non-Soviet, non-American was made on December 9, 1988 by Jean-Loup Chrétien of France during a three-week stay on the Mir space station.
- The first EVA by a Briton was on February 9, 1995 by Michael Foale (who carries dual British-American citizenship).
- The first EVA by a black African-American was on February 9, 1995 by Bernard A. Harris, Jr..
- The first EVA by a Japanese astronaut was made on November 25, 1997 by Doi Takao during STS-87.
- The first EVA by an Australian-born person was on March 13, 2001 by Andy Thomas (although he is a naturalized US citizen).
- The first EVA by a Canadian was made on April 22, 2001 by Chris Hadfield. During his spacewalk, Hadfield installed the Canadarm2 onto the International Space Station.
- The first EVA by a Scandinavian astronaut was made on December 12, 2006 by Christer Fuglesang.
- The first EVA by a Chinese astronaut was made on September 27, 2008 by Zhai Zhigang during Shenzhou 7 mission. The spacewalk, using a Feitian space suit, made China the third country to independently carry out an EVA.
- The first EVA by an Italian astronaut was made on July 9, 2013 by Luca Parmitano along with NASA Astronaut Chris Cassidy during Expedition 36 on the International Space Station.
The first spacewalk, that of the Soviet cosmonaut Alexey Leonov was commemorated in several Eastern Bloc stamps (see the stamps section in the Alexey Leonov article). Since the Soviet Union did not distribute diagrams or images of the Voskhod spacecraft at the time, the spaceship depiction in the stamps was purely fictional.
The US Post Office issued the Accomplishments in Space stamp in 1967. Along with astronaut Ed White, the issue depicts the Gemini IV spacecraft in orbit.
NASA "spacewalkers" during the space shuttle program were designated as EV-1, EV-2, EV-3 and EV-4 (assiged to mission specialists for each mission, if applicable).[12][13]
Camp-out procedure
For EVAs from the International Space Station, NASA now routinely employs a camp out procedure to reduce the risk of decompression sickness.[14] This was first tested by the Expedition 12 crew. During a camp out, astronauts sleep overnight prior to an EVA in the airlock, and lower the air pressure to 10.2 psi (70 kPa), compared to the normal station pressure of 14.7 psi (101 kPa).[14] Spending a night at the lower air pressure helps flush nitrogen from the body, thereby preventing "the bends".[15][16]

Good luck!
I quit just over a month ago and totally turned to food. I'm slowly getting that under control now. I didn't gain anything, but I'm not used to eating non-stop like that and my grocery bill's going up! :)
But on the flip side, my grocery bill's going down because I essentially quit drinking completely to help with the nicotine cravings.
So yeah. Right now, I do still miss it, but it's the habit part more than the nicotine part. I'm still avoiding hanging out with our big group of friends because they all smoke and I don't want to be around it, I don't want the temptation and the smell is just horrid to me now.
Congrats to you Allyson!!! One month is a big milestone! Is this your first quit?
No it's my third. I quit while I was pregnant with both boys and started up again after I quit bfing.
But this time, I did it all for me. I was turning 30 and decided I didn't want to be a smoker any more so I quit for my 30th birthday. Hopefully it'll stick this time and I do think it will since my mind is made up this time and I have no real desire to be a smoker again. It's just getting through the trigger situations for me.
I quit nearly two years ago but will smoke one on very rare occasion...
If I am out with the girls having a beer it's hard to resist!
I am still BFing though and if I do have one I feel so guilty. I quit when I found out I was pregnant.

I've quit smoking a number of times. I started when I was 19. I quit for a full year once, and for three years when I was 25-28. I most recently quit the day before Halloween. I had one cigarette since then, on January 22nd I think it was, and that was giving in to stress without having another outlet for the emotional stress.

Depending on where you are, firearms are "required" to be sold with a lock. The responsibility lies on the seller, not the manufacturer. Might have had a run on Ruger locks and received the Remingtons without any.

Thanks rob228, it had the rem lock in there also, but you could be rite on the ruger locks. It just surprised me when i seen the lock in there, i thought i might have bought a used or repackaged gun..
And to the nature boy , its a 7mag , what is the best ammo to buy for that caliber , do you have any suggestions ?? |

I have to initial a place on the 4473 that says,,, The gun dealer offered me a gun-lock and I refused it. Actually, it might not say that I refused it,,, Maybe it just says I acknowledge that he offered me a gun lock. He said it's a state requirement. Aarond .

I hand load for my 7mm rem mag and use 63.5 grains of Reloader 22 under a 168 grain Sierra Match King bullet. That load data was given to me and I've shared it with many others. I've used Reloader 22 when loading 160 grain Game King Bullets as well with good results. My experience is that anything in the 160 grain range does well for me :-)

In the summer of 2008, after his high school graduation, Jason Brian started working in the marketing department of a South Florida car dealership. He knew the future of marketing was on the Web. "With half of the money, I found that I could double the results," by buying online ads and using search engine optimization techniques, he recalls. Three years later, at age 21, Brian spent "less than $10,000″ of his savings to build a website that would help consumers look for cars. Autocricket.com made money by selling customers' information to dealers and manufacturers, which could market to customers directly. Six months after launch the site attracted the attention of two entrepreneurs in Naples, Fla., who invested $250,000. The site generated $1.2 million in revenue in 2009, when Brian was 22. In 2010 it did $6 million.

Understanding SIP�Part II: Protocol Capabilities
As a robust client/server application modeled on familiar IETF protocols, such as SMTP and HTTP, SIP would seem to have a simple, clearly defined role in a suite of IP tools. However, a number of variables add complexity to SIP's operation.
Last week's tutorial began our examination of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), supported by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), where we considered the history and architecture of SIP, and also looked at some of the related Internet protocols that have influenced the SIP design Here, we will extend that discussion to consider the functions that SIP performs within that architecture.
SIP is an application protocol; that is to say, it provides services to end users. The SIP architecture, as defined in RFC 3261, builds upon two other Internet application protocols, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), which is defined in RFC 2821 and specifies the format for electronic mail messages, and the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is defined in RFC 2616 and specifies the format for web-based multimedia communication. Like SMTP and HTTP, SIP uses the Internet Protocol (IP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for the underlying network infrastructure. As such, it could be viewed as another component or application of a comprehensive suite of Internet-related (and IETF-defined) protocols.
However, the operative application service that describes SIP is session, which could be defined as an orderly exchange of information between two or more participants. Digging deeper, SIP must first act to create the session, and thereafter, manage the session as long as communication is required. And while this charter may seem quite straightforward, a few complications can arise. The first could be the existence of more than two participants, meaning that the call would be a multipoint (or conference) call, rather than a point-to-point (or end-user-to-end-user) call. Second, the end users may not always originate the call from the same location, adding the requirement for keeping track of those end users. Third, the end users may employ a mixture of media types text, voice, and/or video all with different constraints and parameters, such as bandwidth requirements, maximum permissible transmission delays, and so on.
To support this session service, RFC 3261 describes five facets of multimedia session management for SIP:
- User location: determining which end system will be used for communication.
- User availability: determining whether or not the called party is willing to engage in communications.
- User capabilities: determining the media and media parameters to be used for this communication.
- Session setup: establishing the session parameters at both the called and calling parties.
- Session management: including the transfer and termination of sessions, the modifying of session parameters, and the invoking of session services.
We also discovered that the SIP architecture describes two functional devices: clients and servers, also similar to SMTP and HTTP. A client is a network element that sends SIP requests and receives SIP responses. A client may or may not interact with a human user. Similarly, the server is a network element that receives requests in order to service them, and then responds to those requests.
This client/server operation, modeled on the HTTP request/response paradigm, is one of the major strong suits of SIP. Within HTTP, clients send requests for network resources (such as a web page) to a server, which provides one or more responses. In the case of SIP, the client (such as a User Agent Client or a Proxy) sends a request to the server (such as a User Agent Server, a Redirect Server, or a Registrar) requesting communications resources, or some modification to existing resources. An example of a SIP request message from the client to the server would be an Invite message, which indicates that the user or service is being invited to participate in a communications session. If that request message could be completed, a Success response would be returned from the server. Of course, not all stories have happy endings, so other responses may convey error or failure conditions as well, but that is a topic for another tutorial.
Thus, with a background from other well-known protocols, such as HTTP, plus a straightforward client/server architecture, SIP is positioned to operate as an effective member of an IP-based internetwork. The specific messages that are sent between these clients and servers that facilitate SIP operation will be the subject of our next tutorial.

The old saying 'A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste' no longer applies. The wasted noodle of Osama Bin Laden is just dandy.
The billionaire Islamist Recluse who produced Al Qaeda's War on Civilization, ordered the murder of thousands of Americans on 9/11, orchestrated terror worldwide and continued his kideny dialysis treatments somehow, was introduced to Justice by a team of American heroes ( Navy Seal Team # 6 and CIA paramilitary commandos).
President Obama took down Bin Laden and was classy enough to phone the much maligned President GW Bush.
This is a nice start to May.
Well done Mr. President! God Bless the young people who took the war to Bin Laden up close and personal.

I picked up a new watch yesterday, a Timex Ironman. The watch is water resistant to 100 meters. The instructions say that it should be fine to that depth as long as the face is intact and the buttons aren't pushed. I plan to wear it diving although the instructions explicitly say it is not a dive watch. I take a dive computer for life support, but it would be nice to wear a watch for a general sense of time. If it does flood, at least it didn't cost that much.
The watch has been great so far. It has a 30 lap Chrono, Timer, and an Alarm. You can set two different times. The instructions say that is for two time zones, but I just put military time on one of them. The alarm is really great. It can be set for daily, weekends, or weekdays. That's ideal for me because I usually only wake up on weekdays. My one complaint would be that I would like the option to set a second alarm time. Oh, let's not forget the indispensable Indiglo. I'll just have to fight the temptation to push that Indiglo button when I'm 100ft under water.
All and all, the watch is really well made. It has a lot of functionality that you will actually use but lacks some of the fancy bells and whistles of a more expensive watch. It's innovative and the rubber wristband is very comfortable. For a cheap watch, I definitely recommend this one.

The Portable SR325
Pros: Good Detail, Portable, Classy Looks, Single-Sided Cable, Sensitive
Cons: Pricey, Non-Detachable Cable, Too Bright and Metallic
Pros: Detail, Portability, Fast, Beautiful, Aggressive, Bright
Cons: Non detachable cable, Not for everyone
Bright and aggressive, these cans certainly aren't for everyone. However, they have this euphoric presence about them that draws me back time and time again. As well, their small size and low impedance make them the ideal portable...if only they isolated just a little better. At the $67 price i got them for I really enjoy their unique signature, but I might would be displeased if I had paid much more for them. But more on that in the video, enjoy!
Pros: Good Overall Sound, Amazing Design and Looks, Comfort
Cons: Not Particularly Superb in One Area (cept looks), Little Accessories
The RE0's I had broke :-( , so I decided to give portable headphones a try. Upon searching I found these and the carbon fiber graphite housings were so awesome I couldn't resist. Seeing that the MS 400 was reviewed highly I decided to get these as I like something more portable. The sound is good though the detail is a bit lacking compared to my RE0s. The sound is good overall but not particularly outstanding in one area. The bass on these headphones are a good amount better than the RE0s in terms of depth and richness. The comfort on these headphones are amazing and after wearing them for a couple of hours you almost can't even feel them on your head. The Build Quality of the headphones is great except the cabling could be better but it comes with a carrying case to alleviate that problem. The carrying case is very good and seems to protect the headphones very well. Though the price is a bit high for them, carbon fiber is very expensive and they look very good on these headphones :-)

#10786 closed bug (cantfix)
Width is inconsistant with node isn't in the document
Reported by: | dsmlover@… | Owned by: | |
Priority: | low | Milestone: | None |
Component: | css | Version: | 1.7 |
Keywords: | Cc: | ||
Blocked by: | Blocking: |
If I do .width() on an element that is not attached to the document where the width is set by a css class chrome returns 0 and firefox returns the correct width.
I don't know if jQuery should be responsible but it should be known.
Change History (4)
comment:1 Changed 5 years ago by rwaldron
I'm certain this is a duplicate, but I can't find the original ticket.
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by rwaldron
- Component changed from unfiled to css
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by timmywil
- Priority changed from undecided to low
- Resolution set to cantfix
- Status changed from new to closed
It must be kept in mind that .css is for retrieving _computed_ values. Both webkit and firefox (and every browser) return 0 for the computed width of disconnected, as they should. An element that is not connected cannot have width. We provide fallbacks to uncomputed styles where they are available, but on a disconnected node with no inline styles, there are no uncomputed styles to fall back to, at least in webkit.
comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
If that is the case I believe we should not provide those fallbacks then. Just like we are removing layerX and layerY because it doesn't work across browsers I think this should be removed too.
Thanks for your time.

NEW YORK, Wednesday—On Sunday the papers carried a rather interesting picture of the new Big Three—Marshal Stalin, President Truman and Prime Minister Attlee, and underneath was the picture of the Big Three as it existed at the time of the Yalta conference—Marshal Stalin, my husband and Prime Minister Churchill.
As I looked at the picture I realized what great differences now exist at the very top in international negotiations. The three men who met at Yalta had watched the war approach, had met its first crises, had had an opportunity to know and to weigh each other's judgment and performance.
At first I am quite sure that, where both the British and the Americans were concerned, there must have been considerable suspicion on the part of the Soviet government. But that gradually began to wear away as the individuals came to know each other better.
* * *
These three went through many difficult times together. Russia was invaded on her homeland. When Pearl Harbor Day arrived, almost immediately there came a message that Prime Minister Churchill was flying across the seas in order that he and my husband might discuss together the next steps to be taken. Prime Minister Churchill was in Washington when Tobruk fell. It was a very terrible blow to the British. He showed his metal in a remarkable way. Never for one minute acknowledging the fact that the British might meet ultimate defeat in Africa, he simply went to work with my husband and discussed what they could do to minimize the blow.
Through the bad days of the war, these three men came to know each other well, and I rather think that it is going through times of adversity together which gives you the deep trust and assurance that you know another individual. Enjoying people's company, having good times together cements friendship; finding mutual interests and enjoying the same things are great bonds. But meeting the great crises when fear and sorrow engulf you is what makes for complete trust and devotion among men.
* * *
The times are not so hard now, and the new Big Three will have a longer period in which to build personal as well as official relationships. Changes may come more swiftly in their group, now that the war in Europe is over, and perhaps there never will be the same kind of personal bonds among these new men at the heads of our nations as existed among the first Big Three. Yet working together to meet the problems of peace will require the development of personal as well as official relationships, and we can only hope that no barriers will be put in the way of their development.

I finally got to fish today on the Snoqualmie up from where the south fork joins. At a tempting spot I noticed what looked like several brown torpedo shapes in the current. Weed? Logs? Both seemed unlikely given the speed of the current. They reminded me of what I had seen a few years ago downstream of the Wallace Hatchery. My fishing buddy had pointed to them and I in my ignorance said '"what are they"? He replied by catching one and it turned out to be a rather large steelhead! So I decided to wade out towards the torpedo's because they just couldn't be big fish. As I got about 6 feet from the nearest torpedo it move sideways further out by a foot or two! I walked back to the car and tooled up with a small selection of steelhead flies. I then proceeded to cast my selection of flies at the torpedo's from all angles other than the optimum one as there was a large tree/bush in the way. I tried going up stream through the jungle to the other side of the tree/bush but the bank there was steep and straight into what looked like deep water. I didn't want my last glimpse of my wife to be as I drifted downstream to the falls! Eventually feeling rather tired I gave up but it was a hard decision to make. The questions are:- 1. Have I gone mad because of the noise of the helicopter? (see post) 2. Did I really see fish? 3. Were they steels? 4. If the answer to 3 is Yes, how should I have tried to catch them? For a full account of the trip and my encounter with the helicopter and the Sherriff please see http://breakingrods.blogspot.co.uk Fishing in WA is so exciting!
Jason, Thanks for putting me straight, I bet there are chaps laughing their socks off all over the State! If there were steels above the falls that would be some fish ladder. Kind regards Alan C PS I would still like to know what the Sherriff's helicopter was doing circling all afternoon?
What did your friend catch then? It's hard to mistake a rather large steelhead with a similar sized fish in that river. The Sheriff was probably taking blooper reels of the steelhead fishermen above the South Fork on the Snoqualmie Oh, and from your blog, "hell" is not a swear word among fishermen. I have yet to find one except "skunked." Good luck during your time here! You will have a blast!
Just a guess but I believe he was probably looking for someone on the run in that area. Which is maybe why the park rangers were hanging out with your wife. Also, I have to agree with everyone else. You probably saw a few big suckers.
I heard that new fish latter got completed. Pretty cool they can now make it up there. I hear it is a fishcalator and doesn't tire the steel out. Its perfect now they can daart to my fly quicker
Not only is the new fish ladder in operation at the falls, fish and wildlife has been putting some Babine strain summer runs in the south fork to help get a run of those oversized summer steelhead established. And I have some wonderful river front property for sale in Kuwait.
Killing terrorists with a roll cast? It should've at least been a double haul with an exploding fly in order to make it somewhat realistic.

Vulnerable Democrat Gives Stunningly Strong Defense Of Obamacare At Hearing
"Last year in North Carolina, our state legislature and governor decided against expanding the state's Medicaid program," Hagan said as she started her questioning, "and as a result, about 500,000 people who would have qualified for coverage through Medicaid are not now able to do so."
"These are some of the most vulnerable in our society," she said, "who will continue to seek care in emergency rooms and then will leave chronic conditions unmanaged, which we know is detrimental to their health and the economy."
Hagan is one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats, holding a slim 0.8 percent polling advantage over Tillis per Real Clear Politics. She has been one of the targets in the American for Prosperity's air campaign, which has attacked her for her support of the law.
"We've already seen a decrease in the number of uninsured" in Medicaid-expanding states, Burwell said after Hagan asked to compare the experiences of states that had expanded and states, like North Carolina, that had not.
Hagan then gave the example of a 35-year-old single woman whose income is below the federal poverty level -- therefore falling in the Medicaid expansion gap, which in non-expanding states means that those Americans will not have access to health coverage under Obamacare.
"So if a state had expanded it, she would have had access," Hagan said, "where in the 24 states that haven't expanded it, there is this huge number of people, in my state, 500,000, that are still without coverage."
Burwell said those people would not be subject to the law's individual mandate, but added: "It doesn't address the fundamental issue that you're talking about which is: Do they have health care coverage?"
Hagan completed her line of questioning by asking how much it would cost states to expand Medicaid in 2014, surely knowing that the federal government covers 100 percent of the costs through 2016.
"That would be zero," Burwell said. "The state doesn't pay."
In contrast to Hagan's aggressive pro-Obamacare performance, Republican senators were reserved. Almost none of the expected fire made an appearance. They hit the necessary talking points -- canceled health plans, the Medicare payment board characterized as "death panel" by the far right and the disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov -- but rarely pressed Burwell on her responses.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who is not a member of the committee, actually introduced Burwell at the beginning of the hearing. A few Republican members, Sens. Johnny Isakson (GA) and Richard Burr (NC), didn't broach Obamacare at all in their questioning.
Burr, in fact, stated his strong endorsement of Burwell's nomination and quick confirmation as he left.
"I support her nomination and I will vote for it. She doesn't come with a single experience that would make her a good secretary. She comes with a portfolio of experience," he said. "I look forward to her confirmation being quick."

Giordana Carbon/Polypro Base Layer - Long-Sleeve - Men's
Giordana Carbon/Polypro Base Layer - Long-Sleeve - Men's $99.95
Weave a yarn of warmth
There are plenty of places in the world where you can survive most of the winter with a long-sleeve base layer and jersey. However, if you try this and choose the wrong base layer, you'll find yourself pedaling back home toward the warm fireplace before you even break a sweat. That's why we recommend the Giordana Heavyweight Carbon Base Layer for winter riding -- it features precise fit, Italian design, and the ability to keep you warm and dry.
To achieve this, Giordana constructed its Heavyweight Carbon Base Layer from Dryarn fabric, a relatively new kind of polypropylene fiber. Basically, it was designed with a winter-weight denier that's been knit into a tubular construction. The tubular composition of the knit creates a varied density over the form of the base layer. You'll find that Giordana designed the fabric to be thicker over your chest, but thinner on your stomach; and thicker on the front of sleeves, while getting thinner around back. This not only provides comfort while riding, but the next-to-skin fit means that the fabric is more effective in keeping you warm.
Dryarn also provides moisture management in the base layer. As we all know, the warmer that you get, the more that you sweat. But, the question begs to be asked, where does all of the moisture go? If you are out and about in cotton, the answer is 'nowhere.' However, with the second-skin tubular Dryarn knit, moisture is rapidly transported away from the body. In fact, Dryarn's wicking capabilities are so immense that the base layer doesn't need a heavier weight in order to keep you warm. So, the minimal fabric weight promotes a greater ability to breathe, while actually keeping you warmer than most winter-weight fabrics.
The Giordana Heavyweight Carbon Base Layer is available in the color Black and in the sizes X-Small/Small, Medium/Large, and X-Large/XX-large.

A man allegedly caught shoplifting red-handed at Independence Mall in Kingston, will appear in court on Monday.
Kingston police told WATD the unidentified 22-year-old man walked into the Sears store Saturday afternoon, took off the boots he was wearing, and put on a new pair.
The suspect pulled what police called a "utility tool" on a store security officer who stopped him just outside the building.
The man started running, but was caught and arrested without incident a short distance away.
He is scheduled to be arraigned in Plymouth District Court on charges of larceny and assault with a dangerous weapon.

Today's press release from the Friends of the San Luis (for which I serve as president):
While the Friends of the San Luis had hoped for a ruling by the Court of Appeals that would have affirmed the public interest rights of the community, we accept the ruling issued last week. We will not appeal the cause further, but instead will rededicate ourselves to the outreach and education needed to prevent future losses.
At the start, we sought remedy to a loophole in the St. Louis preservation ordinance (Ordinance 64689) that requires a stay of demolition to appeal meaningfully an action by the Preservation Board. We have always maintained that stakeholders should not have to undertake extraordinary legal measures to assert a right of standing implicit in the ordinance.
However, we appealed the circuit court ruling expressly to clarify that right for future preservation battles – even after we lost the building that united us. Our hope has been that no other citizens would have to go to the troubles that we have. Unfortunately, they probably will. While the aldermen who passed the ordinance apparently intended for there to be a legitimate right to appeal – a necessary check and balance system -- the Court has found that the wording is insufficient to explicitly endorse that right.
The Court of Appeals ruling suggests that the ultimate remedy is not judicial but legislative. The city preservation law is a wonderful example of government recognition of the public interest in historic preservation and urban planning, but it has a major weakness in leaving the public right to appeal as clear as red brick. That should change.
While we are disappointed, we are at least encouraged that the ruling has unequivocally identified an aspect of the city's preservation ordinance that needs to be clarified by our representatives in order to ensure due process in the fair and transparent mediation of disputes.

They're Having Fun And Picking Each Other Up!
As the week has unfolded as crisp and smooth as a cloth napkin in a fine restaurant, our beloved Amazins stand only one game in the loss column behind the Phillies. After disposing of the Giants and the abominable lineup they send out each night, Colorado comes into Flushing for a pre all star break weekend excursion The Mets will hope to catapult themselves to the thrown of the NL East upon closing out the soap opera that was the first half of the 2008 season.
This seven game winning streak the Mets are currently wrapped up in has proved to be the most consistent and promising stretch that I can recall since the magical 2006 campaign. Aside from Moises Alou opening his eyes or breathing and landing on the disabled list and ultimately the operating table, the Mets can do no wrong.
A variety of factors can be credited to the team's sudden resurgence to victory on a day in and day out basis. For the last three weeks, around the time that Willie Randolph was relieved of his managing duties, I began to witness a totally different team. Jerry Manuel has embraced the interim tag admirably and in the short span has done the most pivotal thing Randolph could not accomplish and that is winning, and doing it consistently.
Suddenly two out rallies are once again alive and well at Shea, hell, that's where the bulk of their runs have been attained during this winning stretch. So much of what is developing right now reminds me strikingly of the 2006 squad. It was a season in which role players and bench presence was one of their most lethal bullets in their holster. Comparable to the way that Tatis, Easley and Chavez have all been swinging the sticks as of late.
Starting pitching was not a strong suite in 2006, which is why the 2008 team can prove to constructively be in a better position to win come playoff time. A battle in the trenches is always won with elite hurlers. Johan Santana has been terrific despite the tainted win loss record. Since Rick Peterson was let go, the "real" Ollie has once again surfaced and become unhittable. Similarly, Mike Pelfrey has displayed his top of the rotation potential and arguably has been the most consistent starter since the calendar rolled past May.
Passion, emotion, fight, it was all lost inside of this team the very moment Yadier Molina sent an Aaron Heilman pitch deep into the October night sky in the 06 NLCS. It has unquestionably resurfaced at the expense of Willie Randolph's job. I take a look at the squad from the beginning of the season and their time on Randolph's watch, and I am hard pressed to find a player who I would have dubbed as being "hot" at any point. Maybe aside from the initial start of Ryan Church's career in blue in orange there really wasn't any.
Under Manuel, I can compile a list and you wouldn't even be able to debate it. Carlos Delgado is on pace for a 30 home run and 100 runs batted in and has raised his batting average to a respectable .250 clip. Damion Easley and Fernando Tatis have been brilliant and have been the most reliable and clutch hitters in the everyday lineup. Aaron Heilman is coming off his best month out of the bullpen in almost a year. Pelfrey and Perez as stated earlier are going through their best stretches during their tenures in blue and orange.
Enduring a year and half of mediocrity while expecting to be the class of the league was absolutely a rough and bumpy stretch and it polluted the team clubhouse and it's chemistry from all circles within. Jerry Manuel has instilled a breath of fresh air into this team. They're having fun, they're fighting back and picking each other up, and more importantly, they're winning.

This lidar dataset encompasses two areas in northwest Oregon. The northern area is located in Clatsop County, encompassing Clatsop State Forest ownership; the southern area is located in Tillamook, Washington and Yamhill Counties, encompassing areas of the Tillamook State Forest. The LiDAR data was collected April 25-28, May 1 and May 3-9, 2007. The lidar data are multiple return and bare earth classified. The survey used a Leica ALS50 Pase II laser system mounted in a Cessna Caravan 208. LiDAR flight lines have been examined to ensure that there was at least 50% sidelap, there are no gaps between flightlines, and overlapping flightlines have consistent elevation values. Near nadir scan angles were used to increase penetration of vegetation to ground surfaces. Ground level GPS and aircraft IMU were collected during the flight. Elevation values for open water surfaces are not valid elevation values because few LiDAR points are returned from water surfaces. Watershed Sciences, Inc. collected the LiDAR and created this data set for the Oregon Department of Forestry and the Puget Sound LiDAR Consortium.

passive voice
There is a IELTS topic confused me.
Here is the topic: Children who are disinterested in subjects such as mathematics and philosophy should be made to study them at school. These subjects should be optional rather than compulsory.
When I scan if there is any grammar error by grammarly.com, it shows I may overuse passive voice, but this is a IELTS Topic recently held in Malaysia and Australia. How can the sentense be wrong?
I'm about to lose confident withe the grammarly.com, please, is there any body can answer the question for me?
6 answers
I noticed that many writers who give advice in creative or academic writing discourage the use of the passive voice. When you use the active voice, the message you convey is more powerful as compared to the situation when you use the passive voice. Grammarly is just advising you to rephrase the sentence so that you use the active voice instead of the passive voice. In my point of view, the use of the passive voice is not necessarily wrong, but the impact of the text on the reader will not be that strong.
link | answered Sep 25 '11 at 10:29 Aura Raducan New member |
Now I'm really confuse, cause many tutor said, in order to sound more academic, you better use passive voice, I'm going to take IELTS soon, who should I listen to?
Just be careful not to overuse the passive voice. As long as you can answer in a grammatically correct way -- passive or active -- you'll be fine. (I've taught for the IELTS and tutored academic writing in university.)
The impact of passive voice on the style of a piece of writing is complex. I came across a very simple but striking example of the way passive voice can alter them meaning of a statement. Imagine a politician who is delivering a speech. At some point, the politician says "It must be admitted after the report is reviewed that mistakes were made." And then read the sentence in the active voice: "I read the report, and I admit I made a mistake." This example describes the impact of passive voice on the style of your writing. Of course, I don't believe that occasional use of passive voice is incorrect, but I think that the general impact of the message of a text is altered when the writer uses the passive voice excessively.
add commentThere is no reason to avoid the passive voice, especially in academic writing. If you are writing IELTS papers, I advise you to show that you can use the passive in the correct way, and know when an active voice is more dynamic.
link comment | answered Sep 26 '11 at 07:45 Mark Heyne Expert |
IELTS examiners are far from perfect, and I would say 'not interested in' rather than 'disinterested in". 'Disinterested' suggests objectivity, so we might hope that a judge is 'disinterested', not that he is bored by the case bfeore him!
If you have copied the question accurately, I do see a problem with it, as the first half is really a question:
"Why should children who are not interested in subjects such as mathematics and philosophy be made to study them at school? These subjects should be optional rather than compulsory."
link | answered Sep 25 '11 at 08:00 Mark Heyne Expert |
Sorry about that, I did forgot to add the last sentence. The original topic is: Children who are disinterested in subjects such as mathematics and philosophy should be made to study them at school. These subjects should be optional rather than compulsory. (To what extend do you agree or disagree.)(← I forgot this sentence.)
add commentIn my humble point of view all the trouble seems to be in that explanation about passive voice: "In an active sentence we need to include the agent as a subject; using a passive allows us to omit the agent by leaving out the prepositional phrase with by. Consequently, we prefer passives when the agent:
- is not know
- is "people in general"
- is unimportant
- is obvious.
In factual writing, particularly in describing procedures or processes, we often wish to omit the agent, and use passives."
That subject is so confusing! I'm not sure that I'm on the right track!!! :) So, I can't help you as I'm ALSO needing a helping hand. Warm regards from Brazil,
link comment | answered Sep 25 '11 at 23:55 Mônica Brandão New member |
Two things worth noting here:
1) are disinterested doesn't need to be interpreted as a verb in the passive. It could be a verb & predicate adjective. Read more here.
2) The criterion of using or overusing a particular form is much too context-dependent to be delegated to automated checkers. In other words: trust grammarly.com for spotting simple errors / mistakes, but use your judgment (or native speakers' judgment) for anything more advanced - like questions about style, register, cohesion and coherence.
Personally, I'd agree with Mark Heyne here - "not interested in" would sound much better.
link comment | answered Sep 27 '11 at 14:22 Wiktor Contributor |
Disinterest in philosophy and mathmatics runs rampant in today's public schools. Stop cramming such compulsory subjects into the students' heads. I say give them options!

Good headphones for the price. Sound like the sound magic e10 with slightly more bass and more distant sound stage with muddier treble. Cord seems flimsy, but all in all decent sound reproduction for the price. Sounds good with rock, classical, and edm. Slightly bass heavy for my liking

If you're at all familiar with the work of comedian Louis C.K., you know that his on-stage persona is not the most upbeat.
That's the case with his new series on FX as well. "Louie" is funny, to be sure, but there's an undercurrent — sometimes an overcurrent — of pain in the series, which premieres at 11 p.m. ET Tuesday (June 29) following the season debut of "Rescue Me."
For instance, this is how he introduces himself in the premiere: "I'm 41 and single — not really single, just alone."
The show takes pieces of his standup act and uses them as jumping-off points for short vignettes about his life as a single dad — sort of like the early seasons of "Seinfeld," only more morose. Each episode features two stories.
"Louie" is probably going to be an all-or-nothing proposition for a lot of viewers. We found it pretty funny, but we admit to being predisposed to C.K. from his work on "Parks and Recreation" this past season and from his standup.
The clips below will give you a pretty good idea of "Louie's" sensibility. Will you be watching?
