STARKVILLE -- History couldn''t be made on the road.
It just wouldn''t have been right for Humphrey Coliseum to miss out on an NCAA record being broken.
Mississippi State forward Jarvis Varnado needed eight blocked shots Wednesday to set a NCAA record, and he registered that total to pass former Louisiana-Monroe center Wojciech Myrda with an all-time mark of 536.
Oh yeah. MSU defeated Alabama 74-66 for an important Southeastern Conference victory.
Varnado''s clincher came with less than five minutes remaining in the second half, when he met Mikhail Torrance''s floater at its peak to send the crowd of 8,477 into a frenzy.
Varnado (17 points, 10 rebounds) finished two blocks shy of a triple-double.
MSU coach Rick Stansbury shed light on just how remarkable Varnado''s achievement is by describing a 6-foot-9, 180-pound freshman "who would foul out seven minutes into the game."
Varnado has become a beast since then, and with 4 minutes, 28 seconds left in the game he cemented his name in college basketball history.
He had to use every inch of his vertical leap and wingspan to get it.
"I saw (Mikhail) Torrance coming in the hole and I knew he was going to try and get off that floater, and I got it," Varnado said.
After rejecting a pair of shots early in the first half, MSU guard Ravern Johnson knocked down a 3-pointer and leaner to take a 39-35 lead. From there, Varnado said he was in the zone.
"Shooters have hot spells, and I just got on a hot streak," Varnado said. "I just kept telling myself, ''do it some more, do it some more,'' and I just went and got them."
Varnado and his teammates left the court with T-shirts that read "King of Swat." Breaking the record at home made the celebration even sweeter, and Varnado was happy to get the job done at home instead of Saturday at South Carolina.
"For four years I''ve been here, the fans and people around town have been so great to me," Varnado said. "It was a blessing to do it here."
Earlier in the day, Varnado was named one of 30 finalists for the Naismith Trophy, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced. The award is given annually to the top men''s college basketball player and will be presented at the Final Four in Indianapolis, Ind.
In all the hysteria of college basketball history being re-written was Barry Stewart''s MSU career-record 259th 3-pointer. He passed Daryl Wilson for the school''s all-time record, and his fadeaway 3-pointer gave the Bulldogs a 54-43 lead with 10 minutes left in the second half. Stewart hit 1 of 5 from beyond the arc.
"It felt good when it finally went down," Stewart said. "It was a big point for us in the game and it got the crowd into it."
With a pair of Bulldogs reaching career milestones, there was still a hotly contested game that saw the Crimson Tide creep to 61-59 with under five minutes to go.
MSU led by as many as eight in the second half before Dee Bost knocked down a pair of 3-pointers and Johnson had a deep 3-pointer to give the Bulldogs a 70-61 lead.
After going back and forth in the first half and dealing with Torrance''s hot shooting in the first half, the Bulldogs (20-8, 8-5 Southeastern Conference) took a 31-29 halftime lead.
The Bulldogs had sole possession of first place on the line following Arkansas'' loss at LSU, and Stansbury said the attention and emotion surrounding Varnado''s record chase affected the game.
"I told those guys in the huddle, ''We can celebrate, hug, and kiss each other after we get this win,'' " Stansbury said. "The crowd, every time (Varnado) would go up -- it was becoming part of that game."
Alabama''s Jamychal Green picked up two fouls in the first four minutes and was forced to sit the entire first half. Torrance finished with a game-high 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field. He scored 12 of his team''s first 14 points.
But as the energy lifted the Bulldogs, Alabama coach Anthony Grant admitted the ebb and flow of Varnado''s block spurt turned the tables for the Tide (14-13, 4-9), though he thought his team responded well.
"He was extremely aggressive and physical tonight," Grant said. "There was a lot of energy, emotion in the building. There were a lot of opportunities tonight where our guys could have got caught up in the emotion of what was going on in between the lines."
The loss marked the Tide''s sixth loss in their past seven games. Two of those losses have been by two points, and within five with less than three minutes to go, Grant said Bost''s and Johnson''s 3-pointers were "daggers" to his team''s rally attempt.
"The shot clock''s winding down and who knows if that shot doesn''t fall," Grant said of Bost''s trey. "Then Johnson hits a deep one in the corner. Same situation where we had them in the press and had them on their heels a bit."
Bost led the Bulldogs with 22 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field. He added three steals and three assists.
Johnson came off the bench for the second straight game and finished with 12 points.
MSU will look to extend its SEC West lead Saturday at South Carolina.
Alabama returns to the court Saturday when it plays host to the University of Mississippi.
NOTE: MSU dedicated press row at Humphrey Coliseum to former Starkville Daily News sports editor Don Foster, who passed away last year. An MSU alum, Foster covered MSU athletics for more than 30 years. MSU named press row "Don Foster Press Row" and presented a plaque to Foster''s son, Charles Allen, who was joined by his wife, Kristy, daughter, Madison, and son, T.J. Said Charles Allen, "It''s special what Mississippi State has done for my dad. I have a lot of memories here, and it makes me think about all the fun I had with my dad going to Mississippi State games. It was a really special night."

Chasing Lava: A
Geologists Adventures at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
The above title is not the first question that comes to mind when you pick
up Wendell Duffields book Chasing Lava, but the answer is only one of
many interesting and entertaining tidbits to be found within this charming memoir
of the authors three years (1969-1972) as a staff scientist at the U.S.
Geological Surveys (USGS) Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO).
In 1969, Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon. That year was also a time of turmoil within the earth sciences, with the emergence of plate tectonics as an exciting new paradigm. Many geologists will be familiar with the now-almost-clichéd analogy between motions of Earths plates and the skins of convecting lava ponds. This analogy was developed by Duffield (known as Duff to his friends, someone youll be by the end of the books introduction) through his observations of the active lava lake at Mauna Ulu in the early 1970s (and described in an article in Geotimes, April 1972). This time period included several eruptions of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii and corresponding advances in our understanding of Hawaiian volcanoes. Finally, it was the time during which a self-described Lake Wobegon kid was transformed into a Hawaiian volcanologist.
MIT geologist Thomas A. Jaggar founded HVO in 1912. After the catastrophic 1902 eruption of Mt. Pelee in Martinique, which killed more than 28,000 people, Jaggar recognized the need for a training ground for volcanologists. His motto for the observatory Ne plus haustae aut obrutae urbes (No more burned or buried cities) states his vision and frames Duffields book.
Photos of Jaggar, reproduced in tasteful sepia, provide inspiration both for pursuit of ambitious goals and for standards of field attire (shirt and tie, please). Our personal guide to Hawaiis volcanoes, however, is of a more humble nature: Mingo, the Duffields cat and, also perhaps, the personification of the family `aumakua (Hawaiian protective deity). And Duff proves a humorous articulator of all things Hawaiian and volcanic.
Chasing Lava consists of 24 chapters, most short but all beautifully illustrated by color photographs and diagrams and by engaging grayscale drawings. Each chapter title encapsulates the flavor of the book.
For example, Are You on the Level? recounts experiences of leveling the volcano, that is, of measuring and remeasuring the relative elevation between points to monitor deformation of the volcanos surface. However, the titles play on words refers to the leveling teams attempt to alleviate the boredom of the job (and to counter disparaging comments from Park Service employees about geologic dress codes) by creating and wearing team shirts emblazoned with the words O`ahu State Prison in bold letters across the back.
The colorfully titled chapters Water Beds and Magma Beds, Tree Molds and Leg Molds, A Suffocating Experience and How Fast Can You Run introduce the reader to the hazards and resultant adrenaline (and sometimes red-rock addiction) experienced by those who choose to spend their time playing with molten lava.
The scientific content of Chasing Lava is not confined to Kilaueas activity in the early 1970s. The book provides a nice overview of hotspot volcanism, the history of the HVO (and with it, the development of modern methods of volcano monitoring) and the workings of a volcano observatory.
Also covered is the larger structure of Kilauea Volcano, from the movement of landslide blocks of the Grand Staircase during an earthquake in 1975 to the continuous southward motion of Kilaueas South Flank first identified by Duff, Don Swanson and Dick Fiske (all USGS employees at the time) through their pioneering surveying efforts.
Interspersed with scientific overviews are quirky bits of HVO history and lore. In Swords into Plowshares, Spears into Pruning Hooks, Duff intertwines an introduction to the Koa`e fault system with a history of military trash in the Ka`u Desert. Although I know several volcanologists who have collections of military debris from desert surveys, I did not know that there were still live shells to be found (and avoided!), or that the original HVO water tilt meters were constructed from salvaged World War II artillery-shell casings.
More entertaining (and less politically correct from a 21st century vantage point) are Duffs accounts of field experiments pursued by spectacle-seeking scientists (coupled with a geologists inherent urge to throw rocks). First, there was the premature eruption attempt. The scientists tried to generate eruptions from a pistoning lava lake by seeding it with vats of water (one- and five-gallon containers) and, when those failed, a metal container filled with explosives to no avail.
Not having learned from that experience, the scientists continued to flaunt Pele (the deity of Hawaiis volcanoes) with an additional experiment. To demonstrate a direct connection between a convecting lava lake within the Mauna Ulu crater and a fissure source for lava just a few hundred yards away, the scientists employed a half-ton of bastnäesite, a lanthanum-rich mineral mined in southern California. As there is very little lanthanum in Hawaiian basalt, the idea was that adding a large dose of lanthanum to a lava lake would contaminate the lava sufficiently to provide a chemical fingerprint that could be traced in time and space, potentially providing information on both lava transfer and mixing rates. The result? Well, you can guess.
Finally, Chasing Lava includes stories of life on a tropical volcanic island. From rainwater to groundwater to mix-ups in the plumbing of Volcano House (the Sheraton hotel perched on the rim of Kilauea Caldera), Duff philosophizes about the importance of water on the planet. On a more lighthearted note, he introduces the reader to fruits both tropical and volcanic, including Peles fruit, the `ohelo berry (in the authors view, best sampled after fermentation). And about the snake? Ill leave that for you to find out as you read the book.
Meteorites, Ice, and Antarctica
Meteorites are concentrated on the ice in Antarctica! This thought,
which suddenly flashed bright as a comic-strip light bulb into Bill
Cassidys mind, marked the moment of origin of the U.S. program of collecting
Antarctic meteorites.
Cassidy was listening to a presentation by Makoto and Masako Shima, a husband and wife team, at a meeting of the Meteoritical Society in Davos, Switzerland, on the evening of Aug. 27, 1973. Makoto Shima described the chemical compositions and rare gas contents of four meteorites of distinctly different types that had been found by Japanese glaciologists in December 1969 on a small stretch of ice in the Yamato Mountains in Antarctica. If the four fragments were not pieces of a single fallen body, they had to belong to a concentration. But meteorite concentrations were not known to exist anywhere in the world.
At that moment, Cassidy could not think of a mechanism to produce one, but the Yamato discovery (which he learned later that evening actually consisted of nine different meteorite species) was something so new and exciting that he began then and there to compose a research proposal that he would submit to the National Science Foundation (NSF). He planned to search for meteorites out of the U.S. base at McMurdo Station, across the continent from the Yamato Mountains. After years of proposal revisions, in 1976, Cassidy began his program, the Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) the subject of his recent book, Meteorites, Ice, and Antarctica.
Cassidy tells his story in three parts, with an appreciative foreword written by the late Robert M. Walker, the founder of the McDonnell Center for Space Science at Washington University in St. Louis. The dust jacket calls the book a personal account, which describes it precisely. Written in the first person and sometimes directly addressing the reader, it is partly an adventure story and partly a nontechnical, but scrupulously accurate, science text that is strongly flavored throughout with Cassidys whimsical views.
Early in the book, Cassidy describes the exhausting 22-hour flight in the noisy interior of a C-141 cargo plane from California to Christchurch, New Zealand, where scientists are outfitted with Antarctic gear before being shipped on to McMurdo Station. When he arrived at McMurdo, he found that two Japanese scientists had come earlier and already begun to hunt for meteorites. The administrator at the NSF chalet declared there would be only one meteorite project that season and asked the two teams to work together. They agreed, and Cassidy composed a brief memorandum to the effect that they would conduct joint field searches and share equally in the meteorites they collected, regardless of who actually discovered them. The brief U.S.-Japanese agreement, which Cassidy composed that evening in McMurdo, is included in the book as Appendix A.
This arrangement continued for three field seasons and Cassidy found it to be advantageous in several ways. He learned much from the Japanese members, each of whom had extensive experience in Antarctica. Furthermore, because NSF did not supply snowmobiles for the first two seasons of meteorite searches (which some at NSF saw as an intrusion into the traditional Antarctic programs), the Japanese shipped snowmobiles of their own to McMurdo for their third season; this incident embarrassed NSF into supplying vehicles to Cassidys team for that and all later seasons.
Cassidy originally planned to return his meteorite samples to his home base, the University of Pittsburgh, as do most principal investigators who work on NSF grants. He hoped to build a curatorial center from which to send research samples to laboratories around the world. But he found that larger moves were afoot and he began to hear ominous sounds, as of leviathans lumbering about . . . in the flickering shadows at the edge of the clearing.
Both NASA and the Smithsonian Institution, which curates the national meteorite collection in Washington, D.C., were interested in the Antarctic meteorites. In the negotiations that ensued, Cassidy relinquished his claims for keeping the samples but won an understanding that the collecting program would remain, at least for the time being, at the University of Pittsburgh.
The three agencies then reached an agreement whereby the NSF would fund and provide logistical support for the fieldwork and technically retain ownership of the meteorites collected. NASA would serve as the initial curator of the Antarctic meteorites using laboratory procedures similar to but somewhat less strict than those it had developed for the Apollo samples; NASA also would supply sterile (Apollo surplus) paraphernalia to the field teams to avoid contamination of these precious planetary materials during their collection from the most sterile environment on Earth. The Smithsonians National Museum of Natural History would be the final archival site of the annually growing collection. Cassidy describes this three-agency agreement as unique in the U.S. government and one that has proved advantageous to all parties.
In Part I, Cassidy reports an initial success for ANSMET when two meteorites were found on the first day in the field; but no more were spotted for the next six weeks. Luckily, a helicopter pilot offered them a ride to the Allan Hills, where they struck a bonanza. This discovery assured the program a second season, and ANSMET teams have gone to the ice annually since then (except for 1989 to 1990, when participation was cancelled because of abnormally bad weather and a series of aircraft malfunctions).
As his teams grew larger, Cassidy chose meteorite specialists from several countries. (This reviewer was fortunate enough to be a member in the third and sixth seasons). Cassidy led the field parties himself from 1976 to 1993 and then yielded his position to co-investigator Ralph P. Harvey, an experienced team member and former graduate student, who currently is serving as the leader of ANSMET.
Early in Part II, Cassidy points out that as of 2003, ANSMET and teams from Japan and Europe had collected approximately 30,000 meteorite fragments in Antarctica. The great majority of them are stony meteorites of very ordinary types, but among them are rare fragments of Mars, the Moon and previously unknown rock types from asteroids. Cassidy devotes one chapter to martian and one to lunar meteorites, recounting their controversial histories and explaining how they were identified and how much they have added to our knowledge of their parent bodies.
He also gives a remarkably informative account of the latest ideas on the origin of the solar system from a primeval nebula in which minute grains bearing isotopic anomalies that formed in other stars were incorporated into meteorites. He then outlines the classification of meteorites. This section presents a highly technical subject in clear, nontechnical language that will be of interest not only to general readers but also to scientists who know a lot about meteorite classification but may not be completely up-to-date on the new varieties.
In Part III, titled Has It Been Worthwhile?, Cassidy evaluates the Antarctic collection and its contributions to science. He argues that being frozen into the ice sheet has delayed the severe weathering that destroys most stony meteorites on other continents within a few tens of thousands of years. As a result, Antarctica has yielded stony meteorites that fell to Earth from recent times back to about 2 million years ago. This spectrum includes the unusually large proportion of rare types of meteorites found there. Cassidy discusses the dynamics of ice motion and possible modes of formation of stranding surfaces. He also laments the paucity of research on this subject that should help to trace the history of the ice sheet through various periods of climate change. He devotes his final chapter to thoughts about research activities for the future.
Cassidy aims to write for the intellectually curious general reader. With this book he has succeeded spectacularly. It is an absorbing account of a project that started from a sudden inspiration in 1973 and has evolved into a scientific program of international importance. Nobody else could have told this story, which is beautifully written and spiced with a warm, low-key sense of humor. This is a most welcome addition to the mass of literature on Antarctica and on meteorites, and it will be enjoyed by general readers and scientists of all ages.
is one of the few states that has completed 1:100,000-scale digital geological
mapping statewide. Most states do not have any complete coverage at any scale
other than 1:500,000 state geologic maps. The Washington mapping has led to
the creation of a georeferenced geologic database that enables users to make
rapid and accurate assessments of the geology of an area for a multitude of
purposes, including land management and earthquake mitigation.
Shown here are several of the 1-degree by 2- degree quadrangles of Washington state, identified by quadrangle name; numbers are quadrangle identifiers within the digital product. This recent digital mapping has enabled users to make rapid assessments of geology in the state. Courtesy of Washington State DNR.
As an intermediate step to creating new geologic maps of Washington at 1:250,000 scale, in 1983 the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Geology and Earth Resources the states geologic survey decided to first compile existing geologic mapping into 1- degree by 2-degree quadrangles at 1:100,000 scale. The compiled geology for all of the 51 quadrangles that cover Washington has since become the basis for the states georeferenced digital geologic database.
In 1994, the survey began the conversion of paper maps to digital 1:100,000-scale coverage under a $15,000 contract with the Washington State Department of Ecology to digitize two quadrangles near Hanford Nuclear Reservation in south-central Washington. Subsequent contracts (1996-2000) through the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program, administered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), called for the completion and delivery of digital geology data for the remaining 49 quadrangles. This financial support radically improved how quickly the survey generated the digital geologic maps. The last of the geologic coverage was completed in 2003. The digital data can now be downloaded online.
The 1:100,000-scale mapping has been useful far beyond its original purpose as a step in compiling the 1:250,000-scale map. The derived digital coverage has become the starting point for a number of other projects. It is the basis for the surveys statewide earthquake hazard mitigation maps, which provide needed information on liquefaction susceptibility and National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program soil types to counties and cities for growth-management decisions. The survey also uses the data to produce rock aggregate resource inventories for growth-management planning.
The database is useful to county planning departments for land-use planning, the U.S. Forest Service Fish and Wildlife, and DNR for watershed and ecological planning, as well as to USGS, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, exploration geologists, geological engineering consultants, hydrology consultants, air photo consultants, cellular communication businesses and universities.
The georeferenced database is especially beneficial in geologically complex or legally contentious areas. In those regions, significant resources can be expended on costly legal entanglements if planners do not make decisions with careful consideration of the areas geology.

Research shows that personal attributes, like interests and values, have great influence on a person's potential success.
If you want to understand how your attributes influence your success, some tools can help make the right evaluation, including career assessments. Both individuals and organizations often use career assessments to make informed career decisions. For those who are unsure of available career possibilities, career assessments can discover individuals' skills, talents, aptitude and weakness.
Career assessments come in various forms. Most common types used now include the Strong Interest Inventory, the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and Careercope. Not all people are willing to make appointments with a guidance counselor and listen to their advice. In fact, a wide array of career assessment tools is available online to help you find the right career path.
Numerous online resources now give free career assessments. So it's extremely easy to get results of the assessment tests and let the assessment guide you towards the right career. Online career assessment is really a simple way to achieve success by assessing your career. In addition to the expected function of career assessments, online career assessments have many advantages.
• Affordability – Professional institutions usually charge high prices for a career assessment test. But many online career assessment tests can be taken for free. Even when you want to take multiple tests and compare the results to get the most accurate assessment, it won't cost you a penny.
• Convenience – When you're confused about your career aptitudes, perhaps you need to talk with a guidance counselor or your school's career services department. Both of them require appointments prior to your visit. On the contrary, online career assessments allow you to take different kinds of tests online at your convenient time.
• Grading – Technically, there isn't any wrong answer for an online career assessment. After you take the online tests, the results will be automatically and instantly scored.
The grading speed is a major advantage of online career assessments.
With a number of advantages, online career assessments shouldn't be overlooked. Taking a proper career assessment online can help you decide on your future career. But there're so many tests available on the web. Not all online career aptitude tests are worth your time and effort. Take some online tools and they are definitely worth trying.
• Check out Fun Education. The website provides a wide range of personality assessment test software products, including career assessment tests, employment personality test, business personality test and IQ testing. The free employment test can help you find out what career best suits your personality.

• Take a free online career assessment with Career Explorer. Career Explore can help you find the right job. Their free career aptitude tests will require you to answer a series of questions about your hobbies and talents. Your answers will help them find a career that matches your skills and interests.
Children are always asked the same question: "What are you going to be when growing up?" But this is also the case for many grown-ups.
They don't know which career is best for them. It's a good idea to take a career assessment test. The career discovery tests are usually used to measure your personality, personal interests, goals and skills in different fields. A proper career assessment test can help you find hidden talents and understand your personality.
Career assessments come in many forms. A number of career guidance counselors provide professional career advice. But now paperless tests are becoming increasingly popular, namely online career assessment tests. Compared with traditional career assessments, online career assessment tests offer greater benefits. That's the reason why so many people choose this alternative.

On a scrapping front, having scanned loads of old photo's in whilst visiting my Dad, I've started to scrap them for my album of me and I have to be honest I am loving it. As we scanned them in, Dad told me stories and info on each photo which will make the journalling a lot more meaningful and personal. It's given me a real buzz.
What a porker
The second photo is another from my formative years and my entry for this months The Studio Challenge, which is to scrap a song title.
And finally, over on UK Scrappers the April 'and now for something completely different' was a great lay out using a very large photograph. Here's my entry (just need to add the journaling).
So that's it for tonight, off to watch a bit of television whilst the electric blanket warms up. Well. it's freezing up here.

I couldn't disagree more!
I've played both X2 and X3 on CH Flightstick pro (until it died) and Saitek X52 and I couldn't imagine trying to play X3, especially a modified X3, with mouse only. Here's why:
1. Joystick / throttle combo is far better handling multiple concurrent controls with acceptable precision, read: changing the pitch/yaw while adjusting the throttle, strafing left/right, changing targets and shooting the main gun array. While it might sound far fetched, it's more-or-less required if you want to survive heavy guns fights, especially on highly modified X3's. (X3 with XTM, RRF and a touch of rebalancing)
2. Keybaord mapping: On the X52 I used a software of my own creation (sourceforge'd) to map large number of key combos to the different buttons on the joystick and throttle. This is more-or-less required if you want to master item 1.
As for the subject at hand (targeting enemies), well, a couple of things:
A. X3 includes a rudimentary physics model. While far from being real (Ships behave like aircraft instead of free-space fighters), both ships and gun fire are effected by this model (E.g. shooting while banking will spin the gun fire, much like corner kicks in football) making unaided aiming (see below) very hard. Especially when you're still flying a light-weight fighter, fighting other light weight fighters.
B. In order to "solve" the problem, you simply dock at the nearest equipment dock, and buy a "Fight Command Software" Mk1 and Mk2, this will not only give you a calculated hit-box (which more-or-less mimics modern fighters "pickle"), it also gives you some level of gun-fire-aiming corrections (Controlled by the "k" key). Just to clear, this is not a cheat, this a part of the game; Computer controlled fighters are either equipped with it (and nail you from 3KM) or not (and miss you from 20m). -Do not- trying to enter a gun-fight without one!
Beyond that, beyond the well documented issues with LGP support, X3 is an -amazing- game.
While the base game is no better than X2, the -huge- amounts of extensions, modifications and scripts (let alone the ability to customize the game yourself) that change each and every aspect of the game makes the best game I ever played, bar none. (...Even my wife agrees)
On the down side, X3 is a very steep learning curve. It has a fairly complex economy model and technology curve, making it far from ideal to anyone looking for a point-and-shoot space shoot-em-up game.
However, if you are willing to spend the time (and the frustration) required to master this game, you'll understand that the only thing more satisfying than killing 10 enemy fighters and getting 10,000 credit reward is to command a fleet of 20 battleship and 10 dreadnoughts and let them clean one of the Xenon or Khaak sectors gaining a 100,000,000 credit reward

P.S. I don't work or affiliated in way to LGP.

Stainless Steel 317L | WNR 1.4438 | AISI 317L | SUS317L | Alloy 317L | UNS S31703
317L Stainless Steel | EN 1.4438 | AISI 317L Stainless Steel | X2 CrNiMo 18 16 4 | SS2367 | Z2CND1915 | 317S12 | X2CrNiMo1815 | J317L | 00Cr19Ni13Mo3 | Alloy 317L | Z3CND19-15-04 | SUS 317L | 03X16H15M3
Stainless Steel 317L (1.4438) with UNS S31703 is an austenitic stainless steel that gives the ideal corrosion resistance and has very low carbon content. 317L Stainless Steel (AISI 317L) is majorly used in thermal and welding processes. 317L (SUS317L) is an "L" grade stainless steel and is molybdenum. In the annealed condition it is non-magnetic and gets magnetic when welded. In the pulp and paper mills, Alloy 317L (317S12) shows good resistance due to the excess acidic surrounding.
317L Stainless Steel Properties
AISI 317L Stainless Steel has special properties typical to the product. The following sums up the qualities of SS2367.
- 317L has good corrosion resistance.
- In acidic chloride environments, 317L SS has greater corrosion.
- The resistance is high with molybdenum alloy percentage.
- SS317L is resistant to sulphuric acid at around 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 317L Stainless Steel has good formability and weldability.
Stainless Steel 317L Applications
This brand of Stainless Steel is used in flue gas desulfurization systems and is also a regular component in petrochemical industries. The chemical process vessels and pulp and paper industry also use SS 317L (EN 1.4438). It is also used in condensers in power generation.
SS317L Resistance and Processing
Corrosion Resistance
317L Stainless Steel has Superior Corrosion Resistance in difficult environments, especially in acidic chloride environments. 317L SS ( UNS S31703) highly resistant to intergranular corrosion because of Low carbon content. Excellent resistance in applications where contamination is desired to be kept to a minimum. 317L in contact with phosphorus acids, chlorides, bromides, and iodides, has pitting tendency.
Heat Resistance
Stainless Steel Grades like 317L (1.4438) with chromium-nickel-molybdenum (X2CrNiMo18164) has excellent resistance to oxidation. AISI 317 L also demonstrates a low rate of scaling at temperatures up to 1600-1650°F (871-899°C).
Grade 317L SS is tougher than other grades of Stainless Steel. Thus, it is advised to use chip breakers so that the hardenability of this alloy is considerably brought down with the help of low speeds and constant feeds.
317L can be welded by conventional welding procedures except oxyacetylene.
Hot Working
AISI 317L Stainless Steel can be hot worked in the range of 926.7°C – 1204.5°C. 317L Forgings can be annealed at 1037°C.
Cold Working
This process involves stamping, drawing, shearing as well as heading which is done successfully. The post work annealing is normally done to bring down the internal stress. Cold Working increases the strength and hardness of the material
Annealing and Hardening
Annealing is usually done at 1010-1121°C (1850-2050°F) which is then followed by cooling. Hardening normally does not react to any kind of treatment and is hardened by the working of cold treatment.

Floyd Mayweather (left) will probably send Justin Bieber (right) as his substitute for the fight just to tick poor Amir Khan off
Famous boxer Amir Khan is offended and feels disrespected by reigning champion Floyd Mayweather. Initial reports indicated Khan won a fan vote Mayweather conducted, regarding which boxer he should fight next, with the majority of the 35,000 votes cast. Khan even took to Twitter to state he heard he'd won the vote and is waiting on Mayweather to announce the fight [Will Floyd Mayweather Stick To His Promise And Fight Amir Khan].
However, Khan is now under the impression Mayweather has defied the fan vote to choose his competition in the contest, boxer Marcos Maidana, for a planned May 3, 2014 fight in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Judiciary Report favors a Mayweather v. Khan fight, but at the end of the day, it's Mayweather's choice [Floyd Mayweather Asks Fans To Decide Who He Should Fight Next Amir Khan Or Marcos Maidana But There's A Problem... (Video].
Mayweather posted this photo to his Instagram page of Amir Khan (left) Marcos Maidana (right)
Khan stated that he feels, "Very disrespected by his team. Wasted my time." He also stated, "Good luck to Maidana, against Mayweather," "Can I apologise to the thousands of people who are let down. You and me and everyone wanted the Mayweather fight. He's running scared," "No response from Mayweather or his team" and "Fight's not happening. I should have taken the title fight last December against Alexander."

Since mid-2016, the Province has been undertaking a review of the Ontario Municipal Board ("OMB"). On May 16, 2017, highlights of the proposed major legislative changes were released. Among them was a name change from the OMB to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal ("LPAT").
While the Provincial government intends to introduce new legislation shortly, it has not released the proposed legislative changes publicly; it has, however, provided a summary of some of the proposed reforms which have, at least in the opinion of our firm, raised more questions than answers. A summary of the proposed reforms and some of the questions arising therefrom follow.
1. Strengthening community decision-making
Proposed Reforms
- In appeals involving complex land use planning issues, it is proposed that the LPAT will only be permitted to consider whether a municipal decision should be overturned on the basis that it failed to follow Provincial policies or municipal plans. Currently, the OMB can substitute its own decision for that of the municipality's in the interests of reaching the "best" planning decision even where such decision is found to conform to Provincial policies or municipal plans;
- Where the LPAT finds that a municipal decision should be overturned, it will not substitute its own decision for that of the municipality's, but rather, the matter will be referred back to the municipality with written reasons. Municipalities will then have 90 days to make a new decision; and,
- The LPAT will be permitted to make its own decisions only in cases where, on a second appeal, the municipality's subsequent decision still fails to follow Provincial policies or municipal plans.
Questions Raised
- How will this back and forth reduce approval timelines?
- How many hearings will this new standard really affect?
- How will the proposed reforms or the rules of the LPAT ensure an effective mediation process given the high threshold to be met for an appeal to be allowed and given the fact that if appeals are allowed, the decision will simply be referred back to the municipality and then potentially back to the LPAT?
- Will the result of these changes increase efficiency and reduce the cost of hearings in circumstances where an appeal is allowed at the first instance and referred back to the municipality for another decision (and potentially a further appeal), thereby creating a two-step appeal process where one step currently exists?
2. Reducing the length and cost of hearings
Proposed Reforms
- It is proposed that mandatory case management will be required for the majority of cases and the LPAT is to be equipped with modern case management powers to ensure meaningful case conferences;
- New rules will set strict presumptive timelines for oral hearings, and in the majority of cases, evidence will be limited to written materials only; and,
- The LPAT will be required to promote "active adjudication", provide for alternative hearing formats, and continue to allow for more than one member to preside over a hearing.
Questions Raised
- How will the proposed legislation or the rules of the LPAT ensure that written hearings will reduce costs and increase efficiency rather than result in a longer and therefore more costly hearing process, similar to the hearing process under both the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act?
- Currently, the OMB relies heavily on expert evidence – how will the new legislation or the rules of the LPAT address the need to test the evidence of such expert witnesses? Will sur-replies be permitted?
- Will the shift from oral to written hearings increase the frequency of examinations for discovery and will the discovery rules be liberalized to make the discovery process more accessible?
- What types of appeals or hearings will still be held orally?
3. More accessible
Proposed Reforms
- The Province intends to introduce the Local Planning Appeal Support Centre ("LPASC"), a new Provincial agency designed to provide free and independent advice as well as representation to residents for land use planning appeals. It will be modelled after the Human Rights Legal Support Centre;
Questions Raised
- Will the proposed legislation include eligibility requirements that must be met prior to support being provided by the LPASC and if so, what will such requirements be? For example, will developers have access to assistance from the LPASC?
- What are the projected costs for funding the LPASC?
- Will it be sufficiently funded to ensure that it is effective?
4. Exempting decisions from appeal
Proposed Reforms
- Provincial approvals of Official Plans and Official Plan updates, including approvals of conformity exercises to Provincial plans as well as Minister's Zoning Orders, will no longer be appealable;
Questions Raised
- The summary of the proposed reforms speaks to removing the right of appeal for Provincial decisions where the Province is the approval authority, however, upper-tier municipalities are the approval authority for Official Plan and Official Plan Amendments for many lower-tier municipalities. Therefore, will decisions made by upper-tier municipalities remain appealable?
- Alternatively, is the Province considering revisions that will deem the Province to be the approval authority for a broader range of Official Plan and Official Plan Amendments?
- Since this will likely affect very few hearings, how will this improve efficiency?
5. Other
Proposed Reforms
- Local Appeal Bodies, which currently have the jurisdiction to hear minor variance and consent appeals, will be able to hear appeals on site plans as well;
- Applications to amend new secondary plans will be restricted for two years, subject to the discretion of municipal council;
- Interim control by-laws ("ICBLs") will be sheltered from appeal for a period of up to one year; and
- Municipal policies aimed at approving development around protected major transit station areas, like GO Train stations and subway stops will also be protected.
Questions Raised
- How will the proposed legislation or the rules of the LPAT ensure swift hearings of ICBLs after the 1 year moratorium on appeals so that an ICBL does not expire before any potential appeal decision is made?
- With respect to development around major transit station areas, it will be interesting to see what "protected" means in this context. Will appeals be prohibited, restricted, or will there be a higher level of deference to municipal decision-making?
- Will this shut out ratepayer groups from participating in hearings that they currently do participate in?
Perhaps the most vexing question, and the one upon which the summary of proposed reforms released by the Province is silent, is what transition policies will be included in the proposed legislation. It is not yet known whether existing appeals or existing applications will be affected by the proposed reforms. Will it be the date the legislation is introduced? The date the announcement was made? Retroactive so that it is applicable to all hearings in process? Applicable at some date in the future? Depending on the answer to this question, this may result in a flood of appeals prior to the vote on the proposed reforms which we expect in the coming months.

Just posted my Unfinished Business from last year to Garden of Shadows!
recently watched the Addams Family movie, and totally fell in love with
it (the second one was terrible, btw). And remembered I used to watch
the original series once in a while when I was little.
I was inspired by this cute outfit by Eltanin, but preferred different colors and separates for Pugsleys outfit.
So have a teeny tiny upload, with one recolor of a Fakepeeps Bottom (MESH_fp7_cfbottomshortsboots_113008) from her very cute Gelato collection for girls
and four recolors of a Maxis shirt, which needs no mesh. The bottom is
unisex. As per Fakepeeps policy, I did not include the mesh, so get it
from the above link.

I figure everyone has made a survival kit just in case of a Zombie Apocalypse. But what most people don't realize is that the zombie doom wont just last a day, and the end of the world may be music-less. Just like some of you will need some music for jogging and you will need some tunes to grind up the undead. So here it is, hit shuffle on your iPod (or zune, its the end of the world use what you got) and listen to 20 Zombie Death Tunes!
20. Adolescents-Word Attack
This makes me wanna run around with an axe shouting "We'll Attack"
19. Extreme Do You Wanna Play!
If this song is good enough for Joan of Arc to lead a mall work out its good enough for me to blast out some Zombie's brains.
18. Andrew W.K. - Party Hard
How sweet would this be, shouting party at zombies while you decapitate them with a samurai sword!
17. Agnostic Front - Victim in pain
Short and sweet, just like my Zombie Killing will be!
16. Dwarves - Back Seat Of My Car
You are running over zombies with this blaring from your modified Hearses sound system. The cattle catcher pushes the infected out of the way for a clean get away.
15. Nekromantix - Rot in Hell
This song gets me goin, I could go at them with a hunting knife, if this song is pumping through my veins.
14. Exhumed - Limb From Limb
Naturally this would be the song to play while using your chainsaw...fun fact I used to sing this song to my old boss after he would get mad at me, no wonder I got fired.
13.SSQ - Tonight (We'll Make Love Until We Die)
She's doing it again!
You need to have Lemmy with you. A world with out Lemmy is a world not worth living in.
11.GWAR-Jack The World
Its already gonna feel like a Gwar show with all the disemboweled people and blood and bile turning your clothes into a grotesque tye dye.
10.Engorged-Return of the Living Dead
I want to be reminded of this movie as much as possible, cause chances are there wont be a working dvd player anywhere.
9.The Vandals "And Now We Dance"
I always imagined this would be great for busting in doors shooting zombies and stealing stuff.
8.Ghoul-What a wonderful world
Seeing as this is probably happening as you are finding shelter in the deserted mall, and I never took music lessons, so I couldn't play it, but it is what I want to hear.
7.RUN-DMC - Mary, Mary
I dont know, for some reason I always pictured this song during a massacre type setting, and when am I gonna get this opportunity again. I know Id be pissed that I didnt put this on the mix.
6.Impaled - Gutless
Of course Im gonna need a song about gutting someone, thats just common sense.
5.8bit Duane-Zombie Killing Blood Spilling
As long as the apocalypse is nothing like Ghosts and Goblins, you are touched twice and you lose your armor and die, what kind of shit is that?
4.Radioactive Chicken Heads - Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer
Hey its my list and I can shamelessly plug my movie if I want to. Its an awesome song anyways.
3.Devo-Uncontrollable Urge
Ive got an urge to kill Zombies! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeyeyeyeyeah!

You've been bit. You know its the end. But before you turn you are gonna take out as many of those fuckers as you can. What a way to go!
1.Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark
The hordes surround you, you have a machine gun and grenades. You figure out you plan, and then BAM! You are cutting Zombies in half with automatic rounds. At the end you are standing over a pile of bodies and a smoking gun in your hands.

Mats Hummels Completes Bayern Munich Move After Passing Medical
Mats Hummels has signed a 5-year cope with Bayern Munich after passing his medical on Monday.
Bayern announced earlier this year that Borussia Dortmund captain Hummels had decided to swap Signal Iduna Park for that Allianz Arena, and also the transfer has been finished.
Hummels commented: "Saying farewell to Dortmund is not easy, much like it wasn't easy after i moved within the other direction in 2008. I'm now searching toward exactly what awaits me at Bayern. I'm very relaxed."
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge added: "We're extremely pleased so that you can welcome back Mats to Bayern.
"We've not only added a global-class center to our squad using the capture of Mats, but additionally somebody that doesn't be put off by taking his responsibility and who came through our youth academy."
Germany center back Hummels became a member of Bayern at age six in 1995, simply to leave for Dortmund in The month of january 2008.
His final game for Dortmund came against Bayern within the DFB-Pokal final on Saturday, where he was substituted after 78 minutes because of injuries prior to the Bavarians won on penalties.

Badware...You Will Learn All About It Here
Badware...You Need To Be On The Lookout
Badware is known as a software application which display behavior that's annoying or objectionable to the person using it. Some behavior which will fall into this category are:
A. Software Which Installs Unknowingly To The User
Good examples:
- Silently setting up
- Bundling or establishing other software without revealing to the user the identity and purpose of the software
- Having an exploit to do the setup
- Using a Trojan to add viruses and infections
- Using automatic-updating to change other software to be able to make extensive changes to the original application.
B. Software Which Does not Clearly Identify Itself
Clients should always be capable of determining the application that is on the PC which this application is really running. No down loadable software should hide its presence when running or kept in storage.
- Does not clearly identify itself (title and purpose) at install time
- Does not clearly identify itself at run time
- Stealthily identifies itself anytime
- Software Which Negatively Impacts Other Personal computers
Any application having a virus, worm, or other malware and spyware which works malicious actions against other personal computers constitutes badware.
C. Software Making Changes along with other Software
This group includes programs which modify other software programs residing on the user's computer. In other words, programs which can make this type of modifications will probably be regarded as badware. Programs might, however, make comparatively small modifications for the performance of the user's internet browser, if the changes are effectively revealed and decided on, and can be uninstalled (see uninstallable needs).
Good examples of the behavior in the category which is probably not decided on, and which will always be considered badware include:
- Redirecting of valid DNS records
- Modifying or impeding other programs
- Modifying or altering regions of the operating-system
Good examples of behavior in this category that could be decided on incorporate:
- Adding a WordPress plugin to the browser
- Changing the browser's web page
- Changing the browser's search designs
- Redirecting conflicting Websites
D. Software Which Transmits Data To Unknown Parties
When the application collects or transmits private particulars about the person or the consumer, or when the application collects or transmits information that could contain data (e.g., Worldwide web use), compared to behavior needs to be effectively revealed and decided on as referred to below. In addition, wholesale key-logging or comprehensive remote managing are actions that constantly constitute badware and should not be decided on.
Good examples of behavior that could be included in this group:
- Transmission of non-data
- Transmission of knowledge that may potentially be private
- Transmission of non-public data
Good examples of the behavior which is probably not decided to, and which will always be considered badware include:
- Transmission of key-logs otherwise completely hand-held remote control applications
Before the first occurrence no matter the kind of collection or transmission, the software must:
First, fully, precisely, clearly and plainly disclose:
- The type of information collected (e.g., the user's phone number),
- The strategy of collection (e.g., by registration, etc.),
- The positioning of the privacy information
- Then, possess the end user's affirmative consent to such collection and/or transmission.
E. Software which intervenes during the user's normal computer usage
These types includes actions for instance of obstructive or intrusive features that intervenes by getting an computer user's Internet navigation or browsing or usage of their computer, or frequently asking a consumer to think about, or trying to trick an consumer into taking an action.
When these type of actions increase the risk for user's device to become unresponsive or would pressure the average person to take an action they'd normally decline, then that software comprises badware.
Good examples of behavior that is probably not decided to, and which does constitute badware include:
- Pop-ups, etc. that are so obstructive or disturbing and increase the risk for machine unresponsiveness
- Deceitful behavior which will pressure the normal user to think about an action they'd otherwise decline
- Deliberately creating or benefiting from any security weak points in consumer personal computers to increase the risk for a computer to malfunction
Good examples of behavior that could be decided to incorporate:
- A suitable volume of pop-ups
- Pop-unders
- Exit windows, etc.
F. Software which is not easy to uninstall completely
Any software must allow clients to not do the installation (inside the customary area the appropriate running method has designated for integrating or eliminating programs, e.g., the Add/Remove Programs interface in the Control Panel of Windows) in the easy method, without getting to undue effort or possibly a considerable degree of technical skill.
Good examples of behavior that does not stay with the preceding concepts concerning uninstallers and for that reason comprises badware include:
- Failure to supply easy directions for uninstallers
- Failure to take advantage uninstall instruments, or requiring the user to obtain of added device to uninstall
- Failure to eliminate all executables when uninstalling, resetting up or enabling the use of after a person has disabled it
- Failure to permit the uninstalling of programs, stating the uninstalling of basically one application in the bundle will impact the functioning from the additional applications inside the bundle if this is not the truth
- Charging the customer for use of the software after an application has been uninstalled
G. To Summarize:
An online site can be a badware site whether or not it hosts or distributes badware and doesn't meet one of the exceptions outlined below. Including, but is not limited to, websites such as the following:
- Host and/or distribute badware directly online
- Instantly redirect to a site that hosts and/or distributes badware
- Connect with executable files that deemed are badware, whether situated online or other sites
- Connect with another site that instantly attempts to add badware by exploit of the user's computer
- Result in a browser to instantly install code from another website that then tries to install badware on the user's computer
- Contain substantial links (both in character or number) along with other websites that mainly host or distribute badware.
Exceptions for the above website recommendations include, but aren't limited to:
- Down-loadable databases that have a proven practice of finding and eliminating badware records
- Sites or pages involved with legitimate, non-profit badware program research or education
- Indexing sites that are automated and comprehensive
Badware Alerts & Reviews
There's an online site called StopBadware that tests and examines programs that come their attention as potentially showing badware actions. Once they uncover that the application violates their recommendations, they provide an indication for everyone to see.
The possible lack of a dynamic alert does not always imply that an program complies with StopBadware's recommendations. What this means is they haven't examined the program or they haven't found badware behavior inside the version(s) in the application they've examined. It's, sadly, not possible to test every application. This is exactly why they require our help in verifying programs that we think might be badware. If you are concerned you have most likely downloaded badware, visit the website and discover the best way to remove it.
StopBadware's tasks are helped by the support from their partners, sponsors, and data companies. Just in case your business is interested in delivering financial support or just being an information provider, please contact them at the link above.

Ok.... so now that I've sort of/barely gotten the hang of this blogging thing I thought that I'd attempt another Make It Monday!
I love the idea of the faux silk look and a lovely tissue paper flower. However, having it all come together was not as easy as it sometimes is - guess that it just was not a mojo kinda day! Anyway, I wanted to do something different with the tissue paper background..... I covered my kraft piece with glue, attached PTI rustic jute twine in a diamond pattern, covered the whole thing with my fancy tissue paper (a HUGE pack from my neighbor- left over from her wedding invitations 20+ years ago!), and added a little more of the fancy tissue paper for the flower and a little snippet of ribbon/lace. Et voila!

How do we get there? There are two ways I'd suggest. First and usually cheapest (unless there is a sale on flights to San Juan, SJU), is to fly in to Cyril E. King Airport (STT) on St. Thomas, catch a cab to the Tortola ferry, then a cab to the base. Ferry and taxi's will run about $100 r.t./pp easily editor. I can set up a cab and ferry tickets on St. Thomas for you if you'd like. Second way is to fly in to Beef Island Airport (EIS) on Tortola, and catch a cab to the base. Cab is about $22 r.t./pp and the Departure Tax is $20/pp (as of 01 July 2014 a $15 departure tax and a $5 port security fee are now charged) . I've done both, easiest being flying in to Beef Island, but cost is usually higher. You may look at flying to San Juan (SJU) and catching a Cape Air (www.flycapair.com) flight to Beef Island (EIS). Cape Air used to sell a book of 10 flight vouchers for $999 that are good for 1 year, so a round trip will cost you $200. Doing this, you avoid the ferry, taxi and departure fees on St. Thomas (roughly $120/pp), but pay about $44/pp on Tortola. Also, American fly's to Tortola via San Juan.
How many people can we bring? The boat has 4 double bed cabins which will sleep 10, with the sleeping arrangements left up to you (the forward cabins have a berth in the peak that will sleep an adult).
What's it going to cost me? Cost will depend on total number of people and days, with a good ballpark figure of $4000-4500/wk for boat (4 cabins for your use) and crew. When you decide these, contact me at email@example.com for a final price. Beyond the cost of the boat, you can figure on roughly $200 couple/week for food and drink depending on your desires, and your transfer fees. Cost sounds crazy? Go to the Sunsail site and price your desired trip on the 444 catamaran. In low season the base price is roughly$900 day, and then about $190/day for a captain, and the captain gets a cabin, leaving you 3. At that you are looking at $1090/day without figuring in any mooring fees (30/night), taxes, local fees, or other boat needs you may encounter during your trip.
I want to SCUBA dive while sailing. Last Stop Sports located near the base, has better rates by a few dollars, and are easy to work with. I suggest using Sail Caribbean Divers if your group wants to do a 'Discover SCUBA Diving' trip. The DSD is designed for those that have no SCUBA experience. They will pick you up, teach you the basics, and take you on a 'first timers' dive of 40′ . Very cool!
Food and drink, how do we do that? I would suggest bringing a cooler with meats, sea foods and cheeses etc… these tend to be the most expensive items on the islands. There are several local shopping choices on the island, and Footloose also offers provisioning that rivals the others in price, but variety tends to be less. I use Bobby's Marketplace and Riteway Food Market, and have used The Ample Hamper as well. All deliver to the boat, prices are about the same. You can order online or catch a free ride from the base to Bobby's or Riteway and do your own shopping. Along the way there are shops and opportunities to resupply if needed.
What should we bring with us? Any prescription medications for sure, your choice of pain reliever, suntan lotion, personal items. There is a First Aid kit on board with basics.
Communication. We have constant cellphone communication in the BVI. I have AT&T and have no trouble with service (usually). And depending on where we are, it's even non roaming. I always add the 'international plan' to my phone before leaving just in case, as calls are $3.99/min without it. So be sure to check with your provider regarding coverage in the BVI, not the USVI. There are phones everywhere we go too, so you can't hide easily. And yes, most places have wi-fi if you feel the need to communicate that way. Check here for a list.
WIFI While wifi is available most places in the islands, should you want or require 24/7 wifi service, you can have it on board! Renport has an office at the base and offers 7-8 day packages ranging $119 to $320, depending on the data usage/total users you want. They also rent all sorts of other 'stuff'.
Money and access to it. The currency of the BVI is the US dollar. Credit cards are accepted most everywhere, but ask your company if they charge a 'foreign service/exchange fee' of any sort. While there is no 'exchange' of ANY sort, it's a way the card companies now use to generate fee income. ATM's are available in many locations, and travelers checks accepted as well. I've not tried personal checks ever.
When can we go? My only limit is the total number of owner weeks I have, and the season I can use them in. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your dates, and I'll go from there. Never a bad time to be in the islands sailing!
Weather The weather is about the same year 'round. Check with the Weather Channel and keep in mind that off shore is easily 7-10 degrees cooler than shore due to wind and the fact that the islands are rock, and radiate the sun's heat.

I asked for my burger cooked medium-rare, and it came very juicy and pink all the way through. However, the meat had NO flavor. Even with salt, it still tasted like nothing. The bun was a standard flabby white bun, the bottom half of which rapidly disintegrated under the drippy patty. Not worth a trip, not when there are better places like Rosamunde (on Tuesdays), Burger Joint and Big Mouth out there.

The New York State Bar Association has developed a new Lawyer Referral and Information Service Portal. The service aims to provide people from New York with a new way to find a suitable lawyer for legal representation.
The portal launched by ILRIS will offer confidential services to people by helping them to acquire legal help. The lawyers allowed to provide legal counsel to people will have gone through a verification process. The verification process will involve confirmation of the lawyer's credentials by the New York State Bar Association. The reviewing is meant to assure that people will be matched to the right legal representative.
The technology which was developed in partnership with legal.io will help to redefine legal service delivery. Lawyers will serve much more people at a lower cost. The online platform will work towards enhancing trust for all entities that seek to depend on the New York Law.
The staff at the State Bar will review the submitted questionnaire. You will then be matched with an outstanding lawyer who is near or within your locality. The first 30-minute consultation will cost the client $35. The consultation fee will not be charged if the consultation will revolve around social security, injury, medical malpractice, veterans and military law.After the initial consultation, you will then proceed to negotiate the representation fee with an attorney of your liking. The New York State Bar has the largest voluntary state association bar and boasts of a 72000 membership.

You're not supposed to win a playoff game after falling behind by 28 points. The Indianapolis Colts had plenty of reasons to fold it up and go home. But Andrew Luck overcame his interceptions and everything the Kansas City Chiefs threw at him, winning his first ever playoff game, pulling off the second greatest comeback in NFL playoff history.

The game everyone has been waiting for gave us a few conclusions – the Denver Broncos are no longer undefeated; Peyton Manning is making big mistakes three games in a row; Andrew Luck is out of that shadow for the Indianapolis Colts and for good, outplaying the original version of him. More
