Donegal North East Fianna Fáil TD Charlie McConalogue has told the Dáil that the NoWDOC service in Donegal must be non negotiable. Deputy McConalogue raised the matter in the Dáil on Tuesday, calling on the Government to protect the current levels of out of hours GP services in the interest of patients.
In response, Junior Health Minister Roisin Shorthall said the HSE were not currently considering any proposal that would see a reduction in the out of hours GP service at the four centres in Donegal. Deputy McConalogue welcomed these comments but said he remained concerned that Department of Health and the HSE were not making it absolutely clear that it is their policy to ensure there will be no cutbacks to NoWDOC in the future.
Commenting following his Dáil exchange with Minister Shorthall, Deputy McConalogue said: "The NoWDOC services at Carndonagh, Letterkenny, Derrybeg and Mountcharles are absolutely essential and must not be diluted in any way. I am concerned by the fact that the Minister for Health James Reilly and the HSE are not willing to state clearly that they are fully committed to protecting this service ahead of their upcoming discussions with GPs on how NoWDOC operates in Donegal.
"NoWDOC is currently operated by support staff provided by the HSE, while local GPs cooperate by covering the NoWDOC rota. It is essential that HSE and Minister for Health take the firm position that the service must be protected in full, when they enter negotiations with GPs. The inability of the Minister and HSE to make their position clear is a cause of real concern.
"Over 36,000 people were treated by the NoWDOC past year at a cost to the HSE of €3.168 million. As the Government work out the health budget for next year, they must ensure that this service is simply non-negotiable for the people of Donegal," concluded Deputy McConalogue.

Tim McDaniel, Idaho Teacher, Explained 'Vagina' In Sex Ed Class, So He's Being Investigated
Parents in Dietrich, Idaho, say the word "vagina" has no place in a 10th grade science class, according to news website MagicValley.com. A small group from Dietrich, population 332, complained to the Idaho State Department of Education, which launched an official investigation of science teacher Tim McDaniel. He is accused of teaching "sex education material" in a science class, describing "inappropriate" forms of birth control, telling "inappropriate" jokes in class and showing a video clip that depicted a genital herpes infection.

Researchers uncover 8,000 years of human history hidden in the Middle East
Which would be interesting, seeing as, when interpreted literally, the Bible also claims that the universe was created between 6000-8000 years ago. Which is problematic, to say the least. EDIT: Not to mention the mental gymnastics required to reconcile the (presumably) carbon dating of the earliest Mesopotamian settlements to 8000 years ago and the fact that that same dating methods go on to describe artifacts and fossils that are up to 40 000 years old. As I recall, Asimov hypothesized that the age of creation used in the Bible is actually linked to the point at which we (or rather Near Eastern peoples) began recording history in the form of writing.

The True Reason . . .
by Deborah Ann Belka
12/24/2011 / Poetry
May the blessing of joy abide within you,
and your delight in the Lord be for real
may the happiness that dwells inside
bring others to know His perfect will.
May the blessing of peace rest upon you,
and your tranquility a witness to your belief
may those you greet see the Spirit's stillness
so they too, will want such a blessed relief.
May the blessing of love flow through you,
and your adoration for God shine bright
may the praise you have be heard by all
so they too, can know of His saving light.
May the blessing of eternal hope fill you,
and your message be loud and clear
may the truth that lives in your heart
bring others to see why Jesus came here.
May joy, peace, and love,
and all the other blessings of the season
be what you share and give to others
and help celebrate Christmas' true reason!
Isaiah 7:13-14
"And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David;
Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but
will ye weary my God also?
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a
sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and
bear a son, and shall call his name

Turnaround Assessment
What are a plant's turnaround goals?
- A safely executed turnaround
- No environmental incidents
- The work is completed on schedule
- The work is completed within budget
- A quality work effort
- Long term equipment reliability
Here are a few answers
"For a turnaround you get to pick two of the three: on budget, on schedule or quality workmanship."
This statement, while believed by many, is false!
You can have all three plus job safety, an environmentally sound effort and an outcome that will deliver long term plant reliability!
The question is how?
The Turnaround Assessment Cycle
Initial Effort
- Stake holder identification and role assignment
- Description of the assessment process
- Gathering site specific information
- Upcoming turnaround information and available details
- Historical information – past turnarounds
- Status of steering and core team formation
- Status of documentation development
Initial Effort (Execution time T-24 months) – This assessment is conducted at the very beginning of turnaround planning. It is designed to assure that a team has been assembled and there are work assignments made to develop documentation that will direct the remaining effort prior to and during execution. The assessment is also designed to assure that the team understands what is required to assemble the turnaround work scope.
T-18 to t-14
Focus on documentation and scope development.
- All topics / sub topics are being developed
- Responsible person and due dates identified
- Consulted personnel identified
- Status of scope input and risk ranking efforts
Planning (T-18-T-14) – The assessment as this point in time deals with the development and completion of the detailed documentation which will support the following two stages. This assessment is also checking the development of the turnaround work scope assuring that work items are properly vetted for inclusion.
T-11 to t-9
Deeper focus is on documentation and scope development
- All topics and related details are developed
- Responsible person and due date
- Consulted personnel involved
- Scope freeze implement extra work request process
- Status of scope and risk ranking efforts. The development should have significantly progressed
Application (T-11-T-9) – At this level, the assessment addresses the status of the preparation activity associated with the categories and subcategories within the developed documentation. Once again there is a detailed check on the status of the work scope which should be almost to the point of "scope freeze."
T-4 to t-2
- All topics and related details are complete or nearing completion
- Gaps have identified recovery efforts underway
- Scope has been frozen and extra work process is in place
- Pre-turnaround work has started
Pre-Execution (T-4 through T-2) – This is the final and last assessment before actual execution of the work. In this assessment all the details need to be in place or completed within a short period of time. Significant gaps identified here have the potential if not corrected to have a negative impact on the execution effort.
Post Audit
Detailed review of:
- Safety
- Environmental
- Scope
- Schedule
- Equipment issues
- Cost
- Quality
- What went well
- Opportunities for improvement
Post Execution (Within a month of completion) – Following a turnaround it is imperative to conduct a lessons learned review by a third party. This effort is designed to identify things that went well so that they can be repeated at the next turnaround. It is also designed to identify opportunities for improvement so that these issues can be corrected the next time. Internal efforts of this sort can suffer due to individual or group bias and should be avoided. Without a post execution review there will be no value added to future turnarounds since the information will be lost.
Why Use PK Technology
The most comprehensive digital turnaround assessment tool available
Flexible approach to the assessment process
- Internal peer review without support
- Internal peer review with third party facilitator
- Third-party industry experts to facilitate and provide input / opinion
Turnaround Assessment Topics
- General Logistics
- Strategy
- Outage Preparation
- Staffing
- Safety
- Security and Transportation
- Industrial Hygiene
- Environmental
- Process Safety Management
- Contracts and Contractors
- Outages and Their Capital Projects
- Cost Control
- Inspection
- Procurement of Material
- Materials Management
- Shops Repairs
- Communication Including Radios
- Information Technology
- Training
- Documentation
- Operations (also called Production)
- Scope Related Logistics
- Outage Planning
- Outage Preparation
- Staging
- Transition
- Execution – Effectiveness and Efficiency
- Meetings
- Testing, Final Inspection and Approval
- Housekeeping
- Post Outage
- Miscellaneous Logistical
- Components
- Forms

Step aside, little lady. I was called into analyze the crime scene. Name's Naj, and I work the late shift for College Sports Investigations.Yeah, the Wizard called me. And the General. And the Dean. Seems someone had stolen a few games from the NCAA first round, otherwise known as March Madness. The absinthe-sniffers who called me into this black-bag job seemed nuttier than a fruitcake, but they promised me the green if everything was solved on the QT and hush-hush. There was some religious angle also, and Demons, and Devils and other weirdness to speak of. But first, they'll have to tell me why Oakland is in Michigan, they don't teach those Geography like that in Acme Detective School, and what my danger pay is for messing with Moccasins, Grizzlies, Fightin Illini, and who the hell all these Cats and Tigers and Bears and Wildcats [3, 4, 5?] are...=================================================================Chatt +19Wake Forest - I have covered so many, many times shorting the Deacs in the first round. 19 a big nut to crack. Mocs have been here before. Wake 13-16 ATS. Remember when Butler was beating Wake 40-12 in a tourney game? I sure do.CreightonW Va -2.5. Mountaineers overlooked. Beat 2 good teams on way to BE final. Creighton good, but not that good. Going against the public here.UW-M +5Alabama. Upset alert here. UWM a stellar 16-7 ATS. Bama only 10-6 away from home. UWM is 13-4. They won 9 of 10 while Bama 3-3.FDUIllinois -26.5. Take the 2nd best team and give the points. a 30 pt win.Nevada +1.5Texas. Nevada as good as if not better than Texas. Horns 6-8 away from home, lost to CU by 12, ugly. Nevada finished 9-1.IowaCinci -3. No one likes Bearcats in first round but me. Iowa finished strong but not that good overall. Won't score on Huggins.MontanaWashington -20. Huskies are 2nd highest scoring team in country, will cruise to easy win. Pitt -3.5Pacific. Pacific was Cinderella this year. Pitt got beat up in tough conference, will win by 10. Avoid trendy UOP pick. UAB +3LSU. No one can practice for 40 mins of hell. UAB just putting it together now, and want that winning March feeling again. LSU is tremendous 19-8 ATS however, almost a misprint. Hard to call.Utah St +5.5Arizona. Slowball plays havoc on Cats. Utah St covers. Barely.Utep +3Utah. Miners win this one going away. Omar Thomas breaks out to bigtime. 2 good players will beat Utah's one anyday.UCLA +4Texas Tech. UCLA very good ATS, finished strong. Bobby Knight's woes in March continue this decade.NCSUCharlotte +4. 49ers are a better team, prove it against state rivals.ODU +9Mich St. I'm feeling that 12 over 5 magic here. Watch out spartans. Stanford +2Miss St. Cardinal great ATS, Bulldogs lousy, choked last year and will do so again.ULaLa +11.5L'Ville. Rajun Cajuns have awesome 17-9 ATS. L'Ville may be looking ahead too much here.UNMVillanova -5. Wildcats win this one big against 1-man UNM. Both teams good ATS.Ohio U +11.5UFla. This has gone up 2 pts since Sunday. Fla hot, but not worth an extra basket in my mind, first round losses have been piling up. St Mary's +2.5S. Ill. I like Mary's players, record, ATS and dog status. Salukis too popular for my taste in this game. And their conference is overrated.PennBC -6.5. This has dropped from 8 already, could go lower, Ivies always always always overbet. BC with huge chip on shoulder, will crush Quakers. Also hedging here with Penn in first half to cover +3.5 because that's how all their tourney games seem to go. ======================================================================This will be my 9th straight time to Bracketville for opening week. My picks will change with the point spreads, injuries and supsensions, rumor, inneundo, CSI intuition, and coaching decisions and press remarks pre-game time. This is what I think now.Sincerely, Naj5...a6"Those Gamblers Anonymous groups really must be desperate for members, I took their 20 question survey and it was WAY too easy..." ~ actual quote overheard in 2001 at the Hard Rock.

I recycle everything I can, except I cannot find anyone who will take the Styrofoam coffee cups from the fast food restaurants. I usually have 5 to 7 per week. I don't want to fill up the our landfills if they can be recycled. On the bottom of the cup is the recycle sign with a "6" in the center and "PS" underneath. Any help? I live in Atlanta, GA.
In my city, Publix grocery stores recycle Styrofoam. (09/08/2002)
By chunkychow
You can use the Styrofoam cups for starting seedlings for gardens, planters, or flowerpots. You could also start the seedlings to sell at yard sales or to give as cheap gifts, if you have houseplants. I've bought small plants like that at rummage sales. Someone had a plant that was getting too large for her apartment, they said. This was her donation for the church rummage sale. What a neat idea, I thought! (01/22/2003)
By badwater
On Oprah last week, they talked about this very thing. They suggested purchasing an insulated coffee thermos and bringing it to Starbucks or wherever you buy your coffee. Oftentimes, they said they will give customers a discount for using their own thermos! (04/28/2007)
By Karen
You might also find my article at WikiHow.com useful. Search it for "recycle Styrofoam". It's something we can all do at home, too. (05/10/2007)
By John
If you have any "bean bag" chairs or dog beds that have gone flat; a peek inside will show you that most are filled with Styrofoam bits.
Unzip the chair (carefully, this stuff will fly all over) and top the chair off with packing peanuts, small chunks of solid Styrofoam or cleaned and shredded cups. Nice and cushy again. (05/25/2007)

In my area we have The UPS Store. This store will pack and ship items for the public, for a fee of course. They also offer other services which you can read about when you Google "The UPS Store".
Don't confuse them with the UPS location where all the brown trucks congregate and get loaded and unloaded every morning and night!
The UPS Store will accept recycled Styrofoam "peanuts" which they use when packing fragile items. I save all the "peanuts" that come in items shipped to me.
When we occasionally buy an electronic product that has the large Styrofoam "chunks", that are molded to fit around fragile items, I save those too. When I take a TV break I grab some of the larger molded pieces and a paper bag or box and start breaking the Styrofoam into small, peanut sized pieces. (It's actually good therapy/exercise for my arthritic hands!) I just add these small pieces to the regular "peanuts". I keep all these in a large plastic trash can lined with a big garbage bag. When the bag is full I drop it off at The UPS Store. They have always been happy to get them. (06/08/2007)

Hey! I found a place that will recycle clean #6 polystyrene! The below directions are from their website - http://www.epspackaging.org/info.html.
"Expanded polystyrene can be mailed via U.S. Postal Service or other carrier to:
Alliance of Foam Packaging Recyclers
1298 Cronson Boulevard, Suite 201
Shipping fees typically range from $1.50-$9.00 depending on the size of the package.
Many types of foam plastic are not clearly marked; if you have questions please contact Alliance of Foam Packaging at (410) 451-8340."
By Paleogrants
Yeah. Sonic a restaurant I recently went to uses Styrofoam cups. I won't go there because of it. I can get a hamburger some place else! (01/27/2008)
By David
If you bring your coffee mug into McDonald's, Starbucks, gas stations, etc., they will gladly fill it, thus eliminating the need to recycle the Styrofoam. (02/25/2008)
By Michael
Thanks Grandma Margie for the UPS Store tip. I just called our local UPS store and they do take Styrofoam "peanuts". Yeah! I have bags of them that I am dying to get rid of. Thanks again! (03/05/2008)
By Debb
I found a company in Florida that sells machines that will break down the Styrofoam into poly gel which is salable at $.47-$.79 a lbs. Obviously this isn't for individual use, but I work at a company and I'm hoping to sell them on the idea. Several colleges have started to use them. It's pretty interesting. The company name is International Foam Solutions, Inc. (03/27/2008)
By Kat
I love the ideas here! Our school is recycling and the new year is about to begin so we will be receiving new supplies with lots of peanuts! And we do gardening, so I can't wait to use the tiny pieces in the pots and take the rest to the UPS Store. (07/15/2008)
By Nellie
I think that is a good good question. For one thing, the "ps" on the bottom of the cup stands for poly-styrene which is a plastic recycle number 6. To find a recycling station in or around your area, you can use the recycle finder on the earth 911 site here:
Other than trying to find a way to melt it down, try re-using it in a flower pot or elsewhere. If it was toxic, that would be great; people would use alternatives!
By emfetz
I am so glad to see folks like myself that hate putting things in the land fill. Thanks for the help on finding a place that will recycle Styrofoam packing. I found a local place from the: http://www.epspackaging.org/info.html website.
Thanks for the ideas and help with this issue. (08/19/2008)
By Diane
No one will take them, they are considered contaminated with food waste, just like take out boxes from restaurants. I don't know where you live and it could be different, but I think its hopeless for Styrofoam used for food products. (10/02/2008)
By Aaron
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT MELT or throw the Styrofoam into a fire because the chemicals will get released into our air! Just break it up.
And BTW, to Microwave is also Heat. It is the same thing. (11/03/2008)
By Karen from KCMO
At this site you can type in where you live and what you want to recycle and it will tell you the nearest place to recycle it is! (01/28/2009)
By Michael A.
I lived in the Atlanta area for a while and found that Publix had a collection bin for Styrofoam meat trays. It was located right outside the front entrance with the plastic bag bin and paper bag bins. Hope that helps. (02/20/2009)
By Recycle Freak
Think about this folks. Styrofoam is a petroleum product. It can be dissolved with other petroleum products like gasoline, motor oil, etc. then mixed in with your waste oils and sent to recycling. (02/23/2009)
By Crocket
Hey there Atlanta GA. Still looking for a place to drop off your #6 Styrofoam cups? Don't know if it is near you or not, but there is a Dart drop-off in Lithonia, GA. In other states there are drop-off programs at Dart in Leola, PA; Mason, MI; Plant City, FL; Corona and Lodi, CA. For more foam recycling locations go to www.earth911.com and search for "Styrofoam" (10/10/2009)

Whew.....I'm definitely getting too old for the computer age...
While at the Nashville market I tried, as I always do, to blog and let you know what was going on....but was unable to connect to the internet. When I called the front desk to get instruction they just said, "use this password" which I did and still couldn't get on. Unlike prior years I simply just gave up. I no longer have the energy to deal with this computer age. And everyday I'm reminded that I'm racing into old age. Friday C.J. came to me and said his Blackberry no longer worked. I had told him when I gave it to him to come to me when and if anything happened to it as I took out insurance on it. So I explained to him that I was going to Salisbury on Tuesday and would take care of it then. So yesterday I traveled to Salisbury, went into Verizon where I was told I needed to take care of this myself. What the hell happened to customer service? These are the things I can't stand. I have been paying for the insurance monthly since getting the phone. Insurance to me means when you have a claim, you let the company know and then they take care of everything else. But no more...I had a number to call, and when called I'm told by a machine that the wait time is going to be long and I should go on the internet to file the claim. I was in the store where I could have purchased a new Blackberry, because repairing phones is apparently no longer being done. But no...that's not the way it works...I had to go on line, answer the questions after which they assure me they are sending me a phone overnight and then with the deductible I still have to pay $100. And the final screen tells me if I don't return the other phone I will be charged another $100. O.K., I was standing in the friggin store with the old phone in hand, you could have taken the phone then, had me pay for the new phone then and this would have been a done deal. Honestly, why can't common sense ever enter the reality of my world. But I digress...I was speaking about the Nashville market. First, we got the 2nd teacher confirmed for Jamboree...Theresa from Shakespeare Peddler, so we are thrilled we now have 2 confirmed...Blue Ribbon and Shakespeare Peddler. Thank God!!!! Now we have 1 more to go and I'll keep you posted. I also have Sherri Jones confirmed for April 2013 so again, whoppee....we are so thrilled she is going to be here...we already have 2 signed up for her class and we haven't even posted it yet. But Crystal and Cynthia were having a mini retreat here this past weekend and were standing beside me when I read the e-mail. Anyway, Crystal and Cynthia arrived Friday afternoon and we had such a nice time with them last weekend. I use to only see them at Jamboree but last year they decided to take a mini retreat and now make it an annual event. Coming right after Nashville market allowed them first look at all the new "stuff" we brought back. I always love to see what stitchers are purchasing...and find that many of us love the same things. So they went home with plenty of stash to hold them until we see them again. Thanks ladies...we had fun with you and really appreciate your spending time with us. Sara and I have worked hard to get all the Nashville market items out on the racks and I believe we finished the last bags on Monday...always a good feeling. I love buying the stuff and love actually going through it again when we get home. Needless to say I pulled a few things to stitch....what a surprise. I've been stitching like a mad person since the holidays, well even before the holidays so I'll have plenty of new models in the shop. Took 5 things over to the framer yesterday...can't wait to get them back. And I have a few more ready to make into pillows or whatever....yes I've been really productive on the stitching front. As for the market...I'll start getting things up on the web site today. I finally switched out the computers so I can work from home on the days the shop is closed. And finally, the weather down here. Did you have winter, because we've yet to see it. While I was doing mail orders on Monday Sara called me in the office and said, "It's snowing!" And yes, there were fat snowflakes falling....for about 1 hour and then it turned to rain....so I suppose that was our winter. It was short and sweet. Today it's suppose to go up to 60....yes, this is my idea of winter. I've only worn a winter coat one time this winter....but my fear is that we'll have 32 degree weather and snow at Easter. Frankly by this time of year I expect winter to be over, so since we haven't seen it yet....well there is reason for concern. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that winter has come and gone while I was sleeping....which gives it plenty of time since I seem to nap a lot now. Nap and stitch..oh yeah, and eat...that sums up my day.

They do not make it easy if you have the insurance. We deal with that because my husband is hard on phones.

Donna needs a code name.so here are some suggestions.
Amazing Amazon.

Donna needs a code name.so here are some suggestions.
Amazing Amazon.
War woman.
Ms miracle
why not troia?
Currently Reading:Hawkman, Justice League, Justice League Dark, Legion of Super Heroes, Shazam, Wonder Woman, & Young Justice.
Amazing Amazon is WW's moniker, so I would strike that. I think you're right to look into names starting with the letter A, given the shapes on her new belt and shield. I wonder if they're going to revive an idea a former TT writer batted around publicly (don't know if they ever used it): Avatar. That would be consistent with both her awesomeness and the mirror twin origin, assuming that gets revived.
Ms. Miracle sounds a tad too much like a sidekick for Mr. Miracle (maybe for a Shyla Norman or somesuch). I would have saved it in case someone wanted to retcon the Peter David Supergirl minus the S-shield.
I'm guessing the Rebirth Year 1 story will have to play out a bit before we learn more about the new Donna Troy origin. I hope it works out that the post-Infinite Crisis version comes back -- a mirror twin but with young Donna being raised on Paradise Island.
Darkstar. It fits with Nightwing, Arsenal, Tempest, Starfire, etc.
Richard Alexander
It largely depends upon her origin, but I like "Amazon". Short and succinct.
But, from a "branding" point of view, it probably isn't great for DC since it's a common name / descriptor. Maybe Amazonia, although that might be too much of a mouthful. I kind of like it though. And I'd like her code name to be tied to Wonder Woman in some way.
Maybe Aegea after the Amazon Queen who fought at Troy? It would have a connection to both Donna's last name and her Amazon training.
Darkstar isn't too bad, although it's a little foreboding and ominous for her character (although, that really depends upon how she's written).
I'd probably go with Amazonia.
Prefer it being independent since she hasn't been Wonder Girl for several decades now.
So, top picks:
-Olympia (which was her Earth-3 counterpart in the Crisis of Two Worlds cartoon)
-Troy (nice and simple)
-Darkstar (very 90'ties, but still cool... doesn't really match anymore though)
I wouldn't put so much into how her attire bears some resemblance to the three Marvels, since her's is still distinct from theirs (it's only really that they were dark thats connecting them) and how none of the 'made men' wore colors or symbols that defined which member of the Syndicate they ultimately belonged to. Like if I am not getting it wrong, they actually specify that the drug warehouse/production where they fight Olympia was actually one of Power Ring's.
But that said, a definitive version would be nice to see one day... hopefully not handled by Johns. (actually wouldn't that be a good WW story: Diana and her Amazons vs 'Lois' and her 'Amazons'?)

Biodiesel Compatibility
By Rick Da Tech
Almost every diesel vehicle on the road came from the factory biodiesel compatible. So all you really need to do is put the fuel in the tank. There are some really old diesels that were produced before low sulfur diesel was introduced that have fuel lines that are not compatible with biodiesel. They will be easy to spot. The fuel lines will be leaking and wet and greasy from fuel on the outside of the fuel line. Since 99.9% of all diesels are biodiesel compatible, the best course of action is to just keep an eye on things and watch for leaks then fix leaks in a timely manner.
There are some issues specific ways that biodiesel is different from diesel. Those differences can cause problems, if we don't pay attention to the differences.
- Biodiesel has a higher gel point
- Biodiesel can plug filters
- Diesel Particulate Filters
Gel Point
The concentration of saturated fats in biodiesel determines its gel point. The more saturated fats, the higher the gel point. Biodiesel usually has enough saturated fats to cause the fuel to gel up faster than diesel fuel. There are two ways this can be a problem for biodiesel. First, small particles of frozen biodiesel pass through the fuel lines only to plug up the fuel filter. This causes air locks in the fuel system, stalling out the engine. The whole vehicle has to be warmed up before it will run again. The second method is more of a problem for vehicles with heated fuel filters. As the temperature drops fuel in the fuel tank will freeze and form a ball that rolls around in the bottom of the tank. Being on the bottom of the tank, it can plug up the fuel lines at the tank. This causes a strong vacuum to be pulled on the fuel lines, which were not designed to handle a vacuum. They leak causing an air lock and the engine stops. To read more on how to prevent these problems check out the article on Winter Biodiesel.
Filter Plugging
I like the way Dr. Dan put it. Biodiesel is a laxative. Any crap that gets in the tank will end up in the filter. The fuel filter can plug and your car may or may not quit running and it could damage other components in your engine if not addressed right away. The thing we have to watch out for is buying unfiltered diesel. Fuel purchased from gas stations are not really filtered adequately. If they have a filter at all, it will be 30-40 micron, just enough to protect the pump. Sometimes the station will bypass the filter to keep from having to replace it. Trash from the station's tank can make its way into the fuel tank. To protect your fuel system, make sure you use a 5 micron filter.
As preventive maintenance, change out your fuel filter every time you change the oil. In addition change out the fuel filter any time you have any problems with the engine or notice it running differently, since that will most often solve the problem. Many diesel mechanics will actually replace the IP before they change out the filter, so it's important to monitor the fuel filter. Some vehicles have a sensor that detects fuel filter plugging. Most don't. If you start having filter pluggin problems after buying petrol diesel, have your tank cleaned out or will keep replacing filters without end.
The fact is, almost all IP damage is ultimately caused by running clogged filters. The pumps are lubricated by fuel passing through them and if the filter is plugged, the IP is not lubricated and can fail.
There are a couple of vehicles that are more susceptible to filter clogging than others. The Dodge Sprinter and the Duramax Diesel both have grossly undersized filters that are quick to plug.
Diesel Particulate Filters
The newest diesel vehicles have a pollution control device on them called a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). It is a device located in the exhaust system that traps soot. Eventually it will build up enough soot to restrict the exhaust. When that happens, the computer will spray some fuel into the DPF to burn out the soot. If the fuel is sprayed directly into the exhaust just before the DPF we don't have any problems. All of the fuel ends up being used to burn out the soot. Some manufactures decided to save a few bucks and use the existing fuel injectors to spray fuel into the cylinder on the exhaust stroke (aka in cylinder post injection); resutling in some of the fuel not making it out of the cylinder or through the exhaust manifold, or through the turbo. This means they have to dump much more fuel into the cylinder than they would if they spent a few extra bucks for one more spray nozzle.
The first problem is that some fuel doesn't go out the exhaust port. Some will actually leak past the rings and dilute the engine oil with biodiesel. This can be a serious problem, causing engine damage if not addressed. If your vehicle has a DPF and operate on biodiesel, then you may need to increase the frequency that you change your oil
One thing to note is that when diesels are driven for short trips, they create more soot than diesels driven for longer trips. That's because the engines run cold most of the time on short trips. So, the computer will want to dump fuel into the DPF more frequently on vehicles used for short trips. The more frequently it dumps the more of a problem oil dilution becomes. As an example the DPF may need cleaning once every twenty miles on diesels used for one mile trips, while a diesel used only for 20 mile commutes may only need to clean out the DPF once every 10,000 miles. That's a big difference and means the difference between a clean burning long lasting healthy diesel and an expensive dirty diesel that's always in the shop.

It might seem unusual that one of the leading minds in computer technology would endorse a local library whose main mission is to house books supplied by a publishing industry that has no doubt suffered from the advent of computers and the Internet.
But Chuck Geschke (founder of the hugely successful software company Adobe Systems) and his wife Nan appreciate the Nantucket Atheneum as a valuable resource for the island community.
So, after they bought a home on the island in 1992, the Geschkes decided to financially support the library�s annual summer lecture series, which several years later was renamed in their honor.
�It�s in the tradition of the Atheneum. Look at the people who have spoken there: (Henry David) Thoreau, Frederick Douglass. It�s part of the Atheneum�s history,� said Chuck, sitting with Nan in their Monomoy home, just before columnist and political pundit Mike Barnicle�s lecture Monday kicked off this year�s series, the theme of which is �A Country at the Crossroads.� The opening slot was originally slated for �Meet the Press� moderator and island summer resident Tim Russert, who died unexpectedly of a heart attack last month.
�I think it�s always been a family foundation to fund education, which has included libraries. We thought this lecture series has fit into that profile to continue education for the adult community,� said Nan, who holds a master�s degree in library science from San Jose State University.
�We tend to really concentrate on scholarships and funding people. I see the lecture series as a perfect venue to do that.�
While earning his Ph.D. at Carnegie Melon University and simultaneously teaching at John Carroll University (where Russert studied at the same time), Chuck was recruited by the Xerox Corporation to diversify its business in terms of potential products. There he formed the Imaging Sciences Laboratory where he directed research into computer science, graphics, image processing and optics.
�If you were to visit my office there, I had a computer that was hooked up to an Ethernet cord and a black and white printer. We had software on the computers that looked remarkably like Microsoft Word because one of the young fellows who started it left (Xerox) to go there,� said Chuck, who also left Xerox with his soon-to-be Adobe business partner John Warnock on a hunch that his graphics language �PostScript� could be a major success.
Today, Adobe is one of the main software programs used by Macintosh computers.
�(Adobe) Acrobat (software used to read PDF files) was another one where we instinctively felt that it made more sense to go from paper to computer documents,� said Chuck, who constantly anticipates the next big jump in virtual enterprise. �The Internet was one big surprise. Especially how quickly it exploded. Having a huge community of people who aren�t just scientists and researchers communicating on something like Facebook or YouTube. It�s really changed not just the computer industry, but other industries: commerce, publishing, advertising.�
It has also changed how the Atheneum functions, as Nan pointed out, which not only offers print resources but also wireless Internet, computers with printing, as well as DVDs and other technology.
As for Chuck and the success he has had with computer technology, he simply chalks it up to being in the right place at the right time. But that has not always been true: In 1992, Chuck was kidnapped at gunpoint by two men at his company�s headquarters in Mountain View, Calif. and held hostage for four days.
�The irony is, I was freed the day we were coming to Nantucket for the first time. This island was such a secure and comforting place that I built an immediate bond with the island,� said Chuck. He and Nan are in the process of writing a novel about the incident, which they hope will be released in the next couple of years.
The Nantucket Atheneum Geschke lecture series will run every week until Saturday, Aug. 2. Admission per lecture is $25, or tickets to the entire series can be purchased for $100 (there are five lectures in total). Visit www.nantucketatheneum.com to view a schedule and purchase tickets, or go to the library�s garden box office at 1 India St.

With the summer months finally here, we will all be spending more time outside, and exposing more skin. If you are considering getting a tattoo, having a tattoo removed or a piercing you need to take steps to protect your skin.
Sunburn is caused by over exposure to the invisible UBV rays from the sun or sunbed, which have penetrated your skin's layers and caused damage your skins cells. The redness associated with sunburn is caused by extra blood in the capillaries, because your immune system has had to spring into action by increasing the blood flow to the affected areas to aid healing. By opening up the capillary walls to allow the white blood cells to come in and remove the damaged cells. It is this increased blood flow makes your skin feel warm and look red.The peeling that you experience after sunburn is your body's way of removing those damaged cells. Sunburn should actually be considered an injury to the skin, and as a burn will therefore be painful which will make any treatment sensitive.
Remember that UV rays from the sun aren't warm so you cannot feel them, which is the reason that you can get sunburn on a cool or cloudy day. Sunburn is very different from burning yourself on a hot object, which does not cause any DNA or long-term damage to your cells.
Differing to what some people believe tanning beds are just as detrimental to your tattoos as the sun. Arguably more so because the ultraviolet rays are more concentrated.
Tattooing sunburnt skin is therefore not advisable because of the amount of blood that is in the capillaries; tattooing the sun damaged area will mean that you are more likely to bleed whilst being tattooed. The effect would be similar if you were to tattoo the same area the following day. But could result in scarring.
Overexposure to the sun is harmful to your skin, which also obviously means that it is not good news for your tattoo either. The ultraviolet light will quickly dull the vibrancy of the inks colours. Meaning that the more you exposure your tattoo to the sun, the more they are going to fade.
Summertime is by far the most popular time for people to get tattoos because they can show them off more which means there are a lot of fresh and healing tattoos being overexposed to the sun every year. Avoid using sunblock on a new tattoo, but do continue with the tattoo aftercare instructions that were given to you, and wherever possible avoid exposing it to the sun. Once it's completely healed, which means that it has gone through the entire scabbing and flaking process, apply sunscreen to your tattoo thoroughly for the rest of your life.
Tattoo Removal
During Tattoo removal the laser can ablate or destroy the top layers of your skin. The newly healed skin can also be photosensitive, meaning it can easily be damaged by sun exposure.
The sun intensifies the body's tendency to darken (hyperpigment) any part of the skin that is healing. Which means that the darker your skins natural skin tone, the more likely this is to happen. The best solution is to ideally keep the freshly lasered area covered for several weeks or to use a high factor sunscreen (50+).
Hyperpigmentation after laser treatment is unfortunately not always avoidable but it is fortunately temporary and will fade away with time for the majority.
Sunburn is an injury that your body has to heal around your piercing, which could result in scarring or other damage to your skin surrounding your new or healing piercing. It is advisable to avoid sun screen, after sun or moisturizer around the piercing site while it is healing.
Even if your piercing is healed, sunburn will not do your piercing any good.
If your piercing isn't healed, public water should be avoided altogether as
Swimming pools, hot tubs etc. can carry many different types of germs and bacteria. Moisture, especially in warm temperatures, becomes a prime breeding ground for bacteria, and thus infection. It goes without saying that this is the same advice for a fresh or healing tattoo, or after laser removal.
If you do have sunburn, you will need any burned skin to have peeled off and for the new skin growth to be at least three weeks old before getting your new tattoo, piercing or tattoo removed from that area.

The 2012 Prophecy-Get Your Tin Foil Hats Ready
2012 and other prophecies
The 2012 Prophecy-Get Your Tin Foil Hats Ready
RFD America
There's an old calendar somewhere in the mountainous regions of Guatemala where the Mayan civilization thrived before the voyages of Christopher Columbus opened routes the New World.
While they might be of interest to archeologists for man reasons, there's just one reason most people know about them--the 2012 prophecy. The Mayan calender is nothing like the Julian calendar. The Mayan year contains only 260 days, and apparently, the Mayan calendar stops at the year 2012. Who knows why they chose short years or stopped counting at 2012? Maybe the round stones they carved the dates into were too small to hold more than 260 days. Maybe they stopped at 2012 because their chisel broke, or the replacement chiseler didn't show up. Maybe their Government went broke bailing out the virgin sacrificers and couldn't afford to pay the calendar makers. Or, get your tin hat ready, maybe these ancient calendar carvers had it from a higher source (probably aliens) that the world would end in 2012.
So, in case you're wondering if the world really will end in 2012, here's some other end-of-the-world predictions that were, to say the least, anti-climatic:
Rapture Predictions-
* 1792 - Shakers calculated this date.
* 1844 - William Miller predicted Christ would return between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844, then revised his prediction, claiming to have miscalculated Scripture, to October 22, 1844. Miller's theology gave rise to the Advent movement.
* 1977 - William M. Branham predicted in 1962 that the Rapture could take place by 1977.
* 1981 - Chuck Smith undogmatically predicted that Jesus would likely return by 1981.
* 1988 - Publication of 88 Reasons why the Rapture is in 1988, by Edgar C. Whisenant.
* 1989 - Publication of The final shout: Rapture report 1989, by Edgar Whisenant. More predictions by this author appeared for 1992, 1995, and other years.
* 1992 - Korean group "Mission for the Coming Days" predicted October 28, 1992 as the date for the rapture.
* 1993 - Seven years before the year 2000. The rapture would have to start to allow for seven years of the Tribulation before the Return in 2000. Multiple predictions.
* 1994 - Pastor John Hinkle of Christ Church in Los Angeles predicted June 9, 1994. Radio evangelist Harold Camping also predicted 1994.
Edgar Cayce's Warnings of Impending Doom
* Edgar Cayce predicted that coastal areas worldwide would be inundated by floods in 1998.
* Cayce prophesied that by 1998 California's coastline would vanish, and most Japan would disappear into the sea. He foretold how new land masses would rise off the East Coast, and the Arctic and Antarctic would vanish, and a tropical paradise appear in their place.
* Cyace predicted that Atlantis would rise from the Bahamas area of the Caribbean by 1998.
Richard Noone
On May 5 in the year 2000, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will be aligned with the Earth and her Moon. According to author Richard Noone, "...on that day the ice at the South Pole will upset the Earth's axis -- sending trillions of tons of ice and water sweeping over the surface of our planet. Not since the days of Noah has Humankind been faced with this ultimate catastrophe."
And of course, who could forget the Y2K hullabaloo? What do all of these gloom and gloom predictions have in common (besides requiring tin foil hats to truly understand them)? They are are in indicator of disenfranchisement. The more discontented the masses are, the more dire the looming threats of human extinction are.
A word to the wise, dallying on such dark forebodings only deepens the gloom. Recycle that aluminum on top of your head, and take heart. The best is yet to come.

If news reports are accurate, Miss Venezuela 2012-13 could go down the country's winning and colorful pageant history as the first edition to do without the Miss Venezuela Mundo (World) title. This development is due to the constant pressure of MWO's Julia Morley to hold a separate (or independent if you will) competition which will select the representative to Miss World instead of a smorgasbord set of winners for different pageants abroad. As a result, there still remain three major crowns to be won – Miss Venezuela Universo (Universe), Miss Venezuela Internacional (International) and Miss Venezuela Tierra (Earth). I'm not certain if Osmel Sousa will still hold the Miss World franchise (Miss World 2011 Ivian Sarcos is allegedly working to get it), but if you ask me, it should stay with the Master regardless.Anyways, here are my Top 10 choices for tonight's finals. One girl in particular performed so well during the preliminaries that she soared to the highest tier in my predicitons. She is Peninsula Goajira's Rociree Silva. This girl was a true standout during the Gala and all other events. She also won the Special Award of El Cabello Mas Radiante. And I can state that she is a solid contender for one of the titles at stake. She could go for Universe, but I can also see her for either International or Earth. Another candidate leading the way in my predictions is Orianna Luchesse of Miranda. This amazing beauty was awarded Best Face in preliminaries and for obviously valid reasons at that. Standing at 1.77m, she has all the standout qualities we all expect from a Venezuelan beauty queen – tall, fair, vibrant and gorgeous.
So let's go now to the third lady in my Top 5. She is Alyz Henrich representing Falcon. Having won Miss Belleza Integral (Integral Beauty) during the Gala, she has maintained her status as one of the frontrunners among the 24 contenders. Coming in as #4 on my list is Distrito Capital's Daniela Chalbaud – recipient of the Miss con la Piel más linda (Most Beautiful Skin) and by far, the classiest one in the batch if you ask me.Rounding up my top half is Noedy Oliveros of Zulia, winner of Miss Personalidad during the Gala. Previously, she occupied the same spot in my initial rankings. She neither moved up nor slipped down. The fierceness in her features prevents me from assigning her to a title. But who knows? She might surprise everyone with an endearing personality in the finals and eventually become a winner.
And so, the lower half of my Top 10 guesses are shown below in order of preference:
Keilys Rivero fell from my Top 5 for reasons that she is responsible for. Her presentation outside of photographs lacked the spark that can live up to the strong delegates in the group. Nevertheless, she still is a long shot to make it to the top. The four Venezuelans completing my Top 10 are: Angela Ducallin of Monagas, Vicmary Rivero of Lara, Maria Teresa Solano of Barinas and Ivanna Vale of Tachira.
In the final placements of my armchair judging, I have fearlessly judged my selections as follows:
Miss Venezuela Universe 2012-13 – Orianna Luchesse of Miranda
Miss Venezuela International 2012-13 – Rociree Silva of Peninsula Goajira
Miss Venezuela Earth 2012-13 – Alyz Henrich of Falcon
Primera Finalista – Daniela Chalbaud of Distrito Capital
Segunda Finalista – Noedy Oliveros of Zulia.
So there! 😉
Note: The finals of Miss Venezuela 2012 will be held at the Salón Naiguatá of Hotel Tamanaco Intercontinental in Caracas. Live streaming will most likely be available (around 7-8am Friday, Manila time).

The first Cog Railway was designed and built by Norwich alumnus Walter Aiken.
Born in Dracut, Mass., Aiken began tinkering in his father's machine-shop at an early age and had a natural talent for mechanics. Aiken, who attended Norwich from 1850-1852, took out more than forty patents. At the age of 22 he invented and built one of the first knitting-machines in the country. He pioneered the manufacture of knitting-machines that could produce four hundred pairs of stockings per day. He also invented a machine to make gimlet-pointed screws and latch needles which were sold extensively in foreign countries.
In 1855 he was approached by Sylvester Marsh to design and build the world's first mountain-climbing cog railway to the summit of New Hampshire's Mount Washington. Marsh had previously presented his idea to members of the New Hampshire Legislature, but they laughed and said that he "might as well build a railway to the Moon."
Undaunted, Marsh solicited Aiken to design the project. The task was not an easy one, as equipment and materials had to be hauled by oxen for 25 miles to Bretton Woods, and then another six miles through thick forest to the base of Mount Washington. But on July 3, 1869, 'Old Peppersass' became the first cog-driven train to climb 6,288-foot Mount Washington.
Though best known for his invention of the cog railroad, he also owned the "Hamilton Hotel" in the Bermuda Islands. His financial success made him well known to the First New Hampshire Regiment. During the Civil War he visited them at Camp Poolsville and distributed money among the boys in the unit, thereby embodying the Norwich tradition of "service to others."

NORMAN, Okla. – Southern Illinois Special Assistant to the Chancellor and acting Athletic Director Jerry Kill will address the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) and Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) National Conventions December 2-5 in Las Vegas. A former college football coach, Kill is well known for his ability to turn around programs and his epilepsy advocacy.
Prior to being named head coach at Southern Illinois, Kill rose through the ranks at Pittsburg State, Saginaw Valley State, and Emporia State. His success at Southern Illinois, led him to Northern Illinois, where the Huskies won 23 games in three seasons and on to Minnesota in 2011. Kill guided the Gophers to three bowl games, including the 2014 Citrus Bowl, Minnesota's first New Year's day bowl game since 1962. He was voted the Big Ten Coach of the Year by both the conference's coaches and the media who cover the Big Ten.
Kill stepped away from coaching for a short time in 2016 when he took on the role of serving as the associate athletic director for administration at Kansas State. In 2017, Kill returned to the sidelines as Rutgers offensive coordinator.
Kill has over 30 years of coaching experience and has done a masterful job of rebuilding programs into winners. He has a lifetime record of 156-102, was a four-time regional coach of the year, and recorded winning seasons in 15 of his 22 years as a college head coach. Kill was also instrumental in getting facilities built at each of the programs where he served, including SIU's Saluki Stadium, which opened in 2010, three years after he left.
Kill has dealt with epilepsy for much of his adult life, serving as an advocate for others with the condition and earning widespread respect and national attention. He chronicled his experiences as a coach in a 2016 book, "Chasing Dreams: Living My Life One Yard at a Time."
In addition to his many coaching awards, Kill has a long list of civic honors, stemming from his public advocacy for worthy causes, such as the Coach Kill Cancer Fund that he started in Southern Illinois while coaching at SIU, and the Epilepsy Chasing Dreams Fund he began while at Minnesota. He has been the recipient of the National Football Foundation Courage Award (2009), Grant Taft FCA Coach of the Year Award (2010), Cal Stoll Courage Award (2014), Bob McNamara Memorial Legends Award (2015) and the FCA Power of Influence Award (2016). He continues to help raise money for research for the National Foundation of Epilepsy and was the inaugural recipient of the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota's Coach Kill Award in 2016.

As an Android user and Google fan, I have been waiting for quite a few months for Google's new music service to finally debut. It is rumored to be a place where you can store your music in the cloud and then can be played from anywhere. Well after months of waiting it looks like Amazon has beaten Google to the punch with the debut of Amazon Cloud Storage. This new offering from Amazon allows users to place their music onto Amazon's free 5gb of storage and then stream it to any computer or android device, with iOS currently not being supported. Amazon is looking to rival apple in many ways, with Amazon focusing on MP3 sales to combat Apple's iTunes and just a few days ago Amazon releases their own App Store for the Android market. Now Amazon has added icing to the cake giving away 5gb of space to users to store not only music, but videos, photos and documents.
This is a huge step forward in acquainting the normal computer user with the cloud. For people who aren't familiar with what the cloud is or how it will used by, please check out our article, 4 Reasons you should be excited about cloud computing. Smart phones have become the norm in today's tech world and because of that they have been replacing the need for a MP3 player, the only problem to this is that most smart phones lack the space needed to hold a sizable music collection and so your options become:
- Constantly add/remove your music
- Use a home streaming service which is either highly technical or costs money
- Use a music service like Pandora or Slacker
What Amazon is doing is giving away free space and at the same time handling the technical parts to make streaming music as painless for the user as possible. To make money on this service Amazon is giving additional space for a monthly fee and incentivizing users to buy Amazon MP3s by not having them count towards space used. Finally to get people to actually become familiar with buying music from Amazon versus iTunes, they are giving out additional storage to people who purchase a full album from Amazon.
Amazon's Cloud Storage/Player is a big step forward in personal cloud computing and with Google Music still on the horizon, it will be interesting to see how Google is going to position itself against Amazon's free cloud.

Venture Global LNG awards Kiewit EPC contract for Calcasieu Pass
Venture Global LNG announced that Kiewit has been awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for the Calcasieu Pass LNG export project under development in Cameron Parish, Louisiana,
Under the terms of the turnkey EPC contract, Kiewit Louisiana Co. will design, engineer, construct, commission, test and guarantee the facility, which carries a 10 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) nameplate. Completion is expected in 2022.
Co-CEO Bob Pender stated: "We are thrilled to partner with one of North America's leading contractors for our Calcasieu Pass project. The Kiewit team brings decades of construction experience, an unparalleled safety record, and on-time, on-budget execution of major infrastructure projects, including the Cove Point LNG export project in Lusby, Maryland. This partnership supports the continued timely execution of our strategy."
Co-CEO Mike Sabel added: "We are very pleased to be partnering with Venture Global LNG on this important EPC project. With outstanding commitment and talent, working together, this project will be a model for supplying low-cost, clean and reliable energy to the global market," said Bruce Grewcock, Kiewit chairman and CEO.
The 10 MTPA Calcasieu Pass facility will employ a comprehensive process solution from GE Oil & Gas, LLC, part of Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE) that utilises mid-scale, modular, factory-fabricated liquefaction trains as well as a 5x2 711 MW CCGT to support the trains' electric-drive system.
Construction of the facility will commence by early 2019 following the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the Final Order from the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which is currently scheduled to be issued no later than January 22, 2019.
The Calcasieu Pass project has signed binding 20-year offtake agreements with Shell, BP, Edison S.p.A., Galp, Repsol and PGNiG. The company is also developing the 20 MTPA Plaquemines LNG export facility in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, which has executed its first binding 20-year offtake agreement with PGNiG. Venture Global LNG expects to take formal final investment decisions (FID) on both its Calcasieu Pass and Plaquemines LNG projects in 2019.

Poughkeepsie… Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro announced today police agencies around Dutchess County will participate in a special enforcement effort to crack down on impaired driving. The statewide STOP-DWI crackdown effort starts Aug. 19 and will end Sept. 5.
New York State Police, the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office and municipal law enforcement agencies across the state will be out in force. Research shows high-visibility enforcement can reduce impaired driving fatalities by as much as 20 percent. Sobriety checkpoints play a key part in raising awareness about the problem.
County Executive Molinaro said, "With Labor Day marking the unofficial end of our summer season, we acknowledge and applaud the efforts of law enforcement to keep our roads safe for all. The STOP-DWI crackdown campaign enhances our efforts to eliminate preventable injuries and deaths."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), during the 2014 Labor Day holiday period, 83 percent of drunk-driving crash fatalities occurred between 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. Among the drivers between the ages of 18 and 34 who were killed in crashes over the Labor Day holiday period in 2014, 51 percent of those fatalities involved a drunk driver with a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher.
The STOP-DWI Labor Day weekend crackdown is one of many statewide enforcement initiatives promoted by the New York State STOP-DWI Association, with additional funding from the STOP-DWI Foundation and the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee. Throughout the remainder of the year the Statewide STOP-DWI Crackdown Campaign will also target Halloween and the national holiday season in December.
Dutchess County STOP-DWI Coordinator William C. Johnson said, "The focus is clear: These coordinated, multi-agency enforcement efforts are aimed at reducing the numbers of impaired drivers on the roads. We hope to reverse current trends by raising public awareness and making drivers think twice before getting behind the wheel impaired."
While STOP-DWI efforts across New York have led to significant reductions in the numbers of alcohol- and drug-related fatalities, still too many lives are being lost because of crashes caused by drunk or impaired drivers. Highly visible, highly publicized efforts like the STOP-DWI crackdown campaign aim to further reduce the incidence of drunk and impaired driving.

While on one of his usual horse thieving trips to the Pine Ridge Reservation, Lame Johnny, with his easily recognizable limp, was apprehended. The authorities took him to Chadron, Nebraska and he was prepared to be taken back to Deadwood via the Sidney-Deadwood Stage. No chances were taken with the outlaw's transport and he was shackled, handcuffed, and his leg iron shackles were riveted to a metal plate attached to the bottom of the stagecoach. Notorious sharpshooters Daniel Boone May and Frank Smith guarded the stagecoach and horseback escort Jesse Brown rode behind the party.
Eight miles north of Buffalo Gap, a masked vigilante mob (some reports say there was only a couple men) located the stagecoach. The mob demanded to know where Johnny stashed the Homestake treasure. His answers must have been unsatisfactory, as the metal plate was pried out of the floor, he was drug out, and he was hanged from a nearby elm tree still in his shackles. Another party passed by and buried him in the shade of the elm. The area he was lynched is now called Lame Johnny Creek.
Years later several local ranchers dug up the grave to move it to another location. They found Johnny's body still shackled, but the head was missing, as had been the rumor shortly after the time of the hanging. The men removed the shackles and boots before re-interring the body. Johnny's boots (one had a high heel for his deformed foot) were displayed in a Buffalo Gap store until a fire in the late 1880s destroyed both the store and the boots. One shackle ended up in the State Historical Society Museum at Pierre and the other went to the 1881 Historical Museum in Custer.
It has never been established why his three highly experienced escorts were unable to protect him. Years later, Brown claimed that he tried to ride closer when the trouble began, but a voice in the bushes warned him not to. This unusual account only raises more questions.
In researching Lame Johnny's life, there isn't much that historians agree is certain. From his early thefts to the accounts of his death, speculation and rumors abound. Some don't even believe that Johnny was involved in the robbery. After all, it would have been, by far, his most rewarding and well-planned heist by the small-time horse thief. Since mob justice took his life before his trial, we'll likely never know the extent of Johnny's criminal activities.
It is speculated that Charles Carey, a former scout for General George Custer, was the mastermind of the Homestake robbery. He also fell victim to vigilante justice and he was hanged at the Jenny Stockade in Wyoming. Others in the bandit group were lynched, and some of the gold was recovered. But at least two gold bars, the smallest of which is worth well over $100,000, disappeared.
A fortune had passed through Johnny's hands, despite never being able to hold a job. And as time caught up with him, the violent outlaw died like he lived.

How can I delete Tpoxa.com completely from my Chrome? This tpoxa page started to occur on my Chrome a couple days ago and it loads automatically every time I use the browser. The things I've tried to remove it including reinstalling Chrome, clearing the cookies and caches and scanning the system for malware but nothing work. The site still show up again and again whenever the browser is started and I nearly give up using Chrome browser. Is there any effective way to delete damned tpoxa page? Any help will be appreciated.
Is your browser homepage also changed to Tpoxa.com without letting you delete it? How does this malware enter your PC? How to get rid of it completely? Read on and you will find the answers.
What is Tpoxa.com?
Similar to Launchpage.org, Startpageing123.com and LuckyStarting.com, Tpoxa.com is also considered as a browser hijacker or potentially unwanted program that changes users' browser settings without permission. It usually targets popular web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google and makes modifications on the Internet browser settings. One of the most obvious and common behaviors caused by this unwanted program is that the default homepage or search engine of the affected browser is replaced with http://tpoxa.com/search.
If your browser is also infected with browser hijacker, the search page as showed above may show up when you start the browser. Sometimes, it may be an error or Page Not found page. As we can see, the browser hijacker shares a familiar appearance with other well-known search engines such as Google. It provides a search box with "Google Custom Search" in it and also allows you to do a search. It seems that this website is also helpful, right? However, browser hijackers are mainly designed to generate web traffic for certain pages and display advertising so that their developers can make profits. Such unwanted programs often serve as an advertising platform and deliver various advertisements to computer users. Typically, some ads will be displayed under the search box and attract you to click on them. Some are displayed in the search results and they are generally related to what you searched for. For the sake of your computer, you'd better not click on those pop-up ads or links promoted or displayed by the site. The third-party content may redirect you to other websites containing tons of pop-ups and ads or even malware. Be cautious of those pop-up ads such as "virus alert", "Java outdated", "Update Flash Player", "Optimize PC", etc. They may mislead you into downloading and installing other unwanted programs which may occupy your system resources and slow down the PC performance. Just ignore those pop-up ads and find effective way to get rid of Tpoxa.com as soon as possible.
Misleading pop-up ad you might see:
Another reason that you should remove the browser hijacker is that it may track your browsing activities and collect your personal data for commercial purposes. If you enter any personally identifiable information when using their services, the data may be collected and shared with third parties for marketing purposes, which may lead to privacy issues if your data is misused by some third parties (cybercriminals). Therefore, the browser hijacker should be removed immediately once it is discovered.

Shooters from Brazil, the United States, Sweden and Germany sealed spots for their countries at Rio 2016 on day two of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Shooting World Cup in Fort Benning today.
Brazil's Alexandre Galgani, America's Jazmin Almlie-Ryan and Sweden's Philip Jonsson all booked their Paralympic tickets in the R4 class, with Almlie-Ryan's success coming in front of a home crowd at the Georgia venue.
It was Great Britain's Ryan Cockbill, however, who took overall victory in the class, which is for 10 metre air rifle standing competitors, with a score of 211.2 points.
That saw him take the honours ahead of Jonsson who registered a final tally of 209.5.
Cockbill shot two 10.9s in the elimination rounds and finished with a 10.8 to cement his win.
Slovenia's Gorazd Francek Tirsek shot 188.2 and was third having been overtaken by Jonsson in the fifth round.
Galgani just missed out on a medal to add to his quota win in fourth, while Almlie-Ryan finished in eighth in the mixed gender event.
"I went into the final absolutely as relaxed as I could have been," said Almlie-Ryan.
"Unfortunately the final didn't go too fantastic – I had a few body issues – but I've never had so much fun going into a final.
"Usually my nerves are like, 'Oh my God, Jaz, what are you going to do?'
"But forget that, I just won a quota."
Meanwhile, Germany's Elke Seeliger was successful in gaining a Rio 2016 place in the R8 category, a women's 50m rifle event from three positions.
The overall winner was Australia's Natalia Smith who took her inaugural World Cup victory with 441.6, ahead of Slovakian Veronica Vadovicova, who spurned an early lead to finish on 437.4.
Seeliger was third with 425.1, but her place at Rio 2016 was secure.
Slovenia took the team gold with Tirsek, Veselka Pevec and Damjan Pavlin scoring a combined 1884.4.
Great Britain claimed silver courtesy of Cockbill, Tim Jefferey and Richard Davies tallying 1877.2.
Canada's 1864.9 was enough for bronze, thanks to Doug Blessin, Line Tremblay and Mike Larochelle.
The 2015 IPC Shooting World Cup is due to run until Saturday (November 7) and features nearly 180 athletes from 48 countries.
