Football players earn C1-9 district honors
Nine Gothenburg football players were recognized among the best in the C1-9 district by coaches during the annual fall meeting last week.
Six Swedes earned all-district recognition. The teams were not divided between offense and defense this season as so many players were effective on both sides of the ball.
Three Gothenburg players were named honorable mention.
Junior quarterback Blake Ristine and senior running backs/linebackers Preston Franzen and Logan Sheets received all-district recognition along with offensive/defensive linemen Tanner Borchardt, a sophomore, and Adam Speck, a junior, as well as junior kicker Trenton Long.
Seniors Garett James and Logan Koehler and junior Skyler Kottwitz each earned all-district honorable mention.
The Swedes, who finished 6-5 on the season, had the third most players receiving votes for the all-district honors.
Kearney Catholic, the winner of the C1-9 with a 4-0 district record and a 10-1 finish overall, had 12 players receive recognition. The Stars were defeated in the state quarter-finals by Adams Central.
Cozad had 10 players earn honors while Gothenburg and Chase County received nine each and Minden had eight.
Gothenburg finished 1-3 in the district this season, defeating Minden, and made it to the Class C-1 quarterfinals with victories over Cozad and Chadron before falling to Boone Central/Newman Grove.

Mark Kozelek's back-catalog as the creative force behind the Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon is brimming with quietly staggering original records of sepia-faded depth and a paradoxically radiant bleakness. It is his ability not just to interpret the songs of others but to incorporate them into his fingerplucked world of lovely sadness, though, that makes him such a intensely satisfying and occasionally surprising performer. The Finally LP's collection of acoustic covers lacks the miracle of surprise -- Kozelek's 2001 album, Rock 'N Roll Singer, which found him turning in a set of slow-motioned and gorgeous covers of Bon Scott-era AC/DC tunes, has already set the standard for his interpretive gifts. But this survey of performers as diverse as Low, Will Oldham, Bob Mould and Stephen Sondheim is just as imbued with a sense of majestic and haunting sadness as were the formally nasty rockers that litter Singer.
An attempt to gather a survey of the myriad tracks Kozelek has given away to tribute records, soundtracks and compilations, The Finally LP is, at only ten tracks, woefully incomplete. That said, the songs that are here, while not revelatory, are quite wonderful. Kath Bloom's "Finally" is a gently insistent whirlpool of arcing vocal melodies; the 12-string take on Low's "Lazy" becomes the record's sweetly loping heartbeat, infused with a nostalgic, playful wistfulness; and Hüsker Dü's "Celebrated Summer" looses its red-lined guitar gnarl and gains a startling sense of humanity as Kozelek slows it to a trickle to find the pearls lining its previously punk-snarled foundations.
In all, this compilation of songs from films and tributes becomes nothing less than an inadvertent tribute to Kozelek himself, a finely woven tapestry of pop music as refracted through his heartfelt filter of pastoral, troubled beauty.
Despite the fact that he's capable of crafting quietly ear-stunned original records of bleakly radiant acoustic introspection or moving, Crazy Horse-inspired rock, one of Mark Kozelek's greatest gifts as a musician and performer is his ability to reinterpret other songwriter's material and blending it into his aural world of gentle sepia beauty. Unfortunately—with the exception of the excellent AC/DC acoustic covers record What's Next to the Moon (2001) and the Sun Kil Moon takes on Modest Mouse that is Tiny Cities (2005)—most of these covers have been scattered throughout various compilations, both in-and out-of-print, and left to the purview of hardcore collectors. The Finally LP aims to rectify this, culling ten cover songs originally written for children's shows, benefits and tribute albums, as well as wholly unreleased material, such as Kozelek's cover of "Celebrated Summer," as well as a handfull of unreleased instrumentals. And yes, diehards, there's even a cover of AC/DC's "If You Want Blood," just for old time's sake.

Swollen penis, what do i do?12/05/2007 |
My son is 2 1/2 years old. He was circumcised last year when he had an infection and the Dr told us it was because he was not circumcised. They told us it would not happen again if he was. We had a case of mild food poisoning in our whole family over the weekend and he woke up this morning with diarhea. The scar tissue that formed after his circumcision is now swollen and red. I`m not sure what I should do? He does not seem to be in a great deal of pain, and is urinating normally.
I am uncertain what you mean by "scar tissue" that formed after the circumcision. Generally there is little or no scar tissue. That being said, the skin on the penile shaft is very elastic and can swell significantly if there is localized inflammation. The absence of pain is an indication that the swelling should resolve pretty quickly on its own once the medical condition has resolved.

In this installment, learn how dot gain manifests in garment graphics and how to compensate for it in prepress.
Dot gain for textile printers is an ongoing battle because there are so many factors that come into play. Rare is the garment screen printer that can completely master the mix. Dot gain also is a misunderstood subject. Printers frequently tell me they have it under control or that they are really good printers and don't have dot gain. This is ridiculous. When I hear such a statement, I can be sure of only one thing: This printer has no clue of what he's talking about.
Let me state right here and now that everyone experiences dot gain. It is a physical part of the screen-printing process. So in this month's column, I'll introduce some often-overlooked and fundamental concepts and share some quick and easy corrections you can make to improve your print quality. Let's start our discussion with some basic background.
Dot gain defined
Dot gain comes in two varieties: optical and physical. The optical kind increases as the line count increases. With nothing else changing, a finer line count will flatten and desaturate an image. Decreasing the line count (fewer lines/in.) will increase contrast and saturation, which is why I normally recommend 55 lines/in. or coarser for textile applications. It is a trade-off in the sense that the coarser line count carries less detail. You can hold finer detail, but the necessary dot-gain correction is more severe.
Physical dot gain is the most common and has the greatest impact on the printed image. The dot grows in the border area around its perimeter, which increases the total dot area, resulting in an increase in tonal value. The width of growth around the perimeter is constant for each and every dot; however, this does not mean the total growth in area is equal from dot to dot. As the dot size increases toward its maximum at the 50% tonal value, the area represented by border growth also increases. Dot-gain values are mirrored on either side of the 50% value. For instance, dot area of the 40% dot is the same as the dot area of 60%. The 40% dot is a positive dot, and the 60% dot is a negative dot. The maximum dot gain occurs at the 50% value because this dot has the largest area; therefore, it also has the largest perimeter. This is why dot gain is always measured and calculated at the 50% value.
The increase in dot area is an absolute number, meaning that if you have 35% dot gain, you would get 35% 50% = 85% final dot size. If you have 20% dot gain, the equation would be 20% 50% = 70%. The natural tendency is to think that lower is better. In practical terms, it almost doesn't matter whether you have less or more gain, as long as you have consistent gain from job to job. If you change mesh counts, tension, squeegee pressure, squeegee durometer, off-contact, or ink brand, you will affect the gain values. Maintaining consistency is the real problem for screen printers, but consistency is the solution to most prepress problems.
Almost everyone sets gain values far too low, even if they're experienced. This is a very big mistake. What happens when the dot-gain value is set too low? Consider Photoshop. Its default dot gain is 20% until you enter specific dot-gain values. Unless you are printing a 30 lines/in. halftone on 305 mesh, there's not a snowflake's chance in Hades that you will be successful. The overall print will look very dark and muddy, the tone range will be compressed and flat, and there will be a clear lack of detail in the image.
You can typically compensate for low dot-gain values in two ways, both of which negatively affect the image. The first approach is to base the ink back to a lower concentration of color with halftone clear. All this does is lighten the image. The contrast will still be flat, and there will be no improvement in detail. Now the image will simply look dull and washed out.
The second approach is to reduce squeegee pressure, then reduce it again and again in a futile attempt to lighten the image. Backing off the squeegee pressure may work on a temporary basis, but doing so creates problems like loss of ink penetration into the garment and reduction of ink-film thickness. Your prints will look weak, splotchy, and have a "cheesy" feel. Massive fibrillation will surface the first time the shirt is washed, and you'll get an angry call from your customer.
Determine your dot gain
Most printers have a difficult time figuring out exactly what their dot gain is because they don't have a reflection densitometer. This lack of measurement instrumentation forces them to guess at what their dot-gain values really are. Here is an easy way you can come close without using any measuring devices:
Start with a grayscale document in Photoshop that's about 1.5 in. high x 12 in. wide. Set foreground color to 0% and background color to 100% black. Use the gradient tool and blend from one end of the image to the other. Now, posterize the grayscale to 21 steps. This will give you 5% steps from clear to solid. Save this file as Master Grayscale. Duplicate this file five times and save each with a different name. They will be MGS-12, MGS-14, MGS-16, MGS-18, and MGS-20. These will each represent a different amount of tonal reduction at the 50% dot. The number at the end of each name represents the amount, in absolute percentage value, by which you will reduce the 50% dot. For example, MGS-20 means you will reduce the 50% dot to 30%.
To correct each scale to the appropriate value, open the Curves dialog in Photoshop, (Alt M on PC, Command M on Mac) put a point at 50%, and decrease the value by the amount associated with that particular scale. For MGS-12, you would simply decrease the 50% value by 12 to get 38% (Figure 1). Put all of the scales into one new document and image the scales to film. Use whatever line count you normally use. You also can image this test at different line counts and expose the test image onto different mesh counts to see what difference these changes make.
When you look closely at images printed with the test screen, look for the 100% value to be totally solid with complete ink penetration into the garment and the ink film fully developed. Look closely at the 95% and 90% values. You want to see a tonal difference between solid and either of these values. If you cannot see a difference between any of the test scales, you will have to go even deeper into the curve. You may not find an image that works properly in your first set of test scales. If this is the case, repeat the test with larger tone-reduction values of -22, -24, -26, -28, and -30. You will certainly find an acceptable grayscale from this second round of testing.
Correcting for gain
Once you have determined the value, you will need to apply it. This is done in two steps. The first step is to use Photoshop to open the raw, grayscale image that has not been corrected (Master Grayscale). Now, under Color settings (the location of this dialog changes with each version of Photoshop) check the Advanced box, go to Spot Channels, and experiment with different dot-gain values. What you want is for the uncorrected Master Grayscale image on the screen to look like your results on press. You will need to start with at least 35%, more likely 38-42%. Keep entering values in 1% increments until what you see most closely matches the print. Enter and save this value.
Now, to check which dot-gain correction works best, open Curves and decrease the 50% value until the grayscale image matches the original, master image. This is the value you will enter each and every time you output a channel to make a halftone. You must apply the curve to each channel that will be printed. To speed this process up, make a blank document with 12-16 spot channels, depending on how many colors you can accommodate on your press. Activate all of the channels and make them visible. In the Curves dialog, enter the dot-gain value you decided to use for each and every channel. When you have done this for each channel, save the curves as -x%DGCorrection, where x is the amount of reduction. Now, no matter how many colors in an image, as long as they are active, you will apply the correction to all the channels at once when you load this master correction Curve.
If you print a job with fewer channels than declared on the master correction Curve, Photoshop will simply ignore the unused corrections. Here is what happens. If you do not enter a dot-gain value for Spot Channels, Photoshop does nothing. In other words, zero on-screen rendering of dot gain. This is fine for digital photographs and Web images that are not intended for print. But screen printers need to show dot gain because the gain is so high. The dot-gain value you enter into Photoshop does not change the digital gray-scale value; it only approximates on screen what will happen to that tonal value as it grows by the entered dot-gain value on press.
To compensate for the dot growth on press, you need to physically reduce the dot area by reducing the digital values in the image. This is done by entering the curve value you just determined, which will create an immediate change in how the image looks on the computer screen. You want the image on the screen to represent what will actually print. This is a huge concept and one I hear printers crying about on a daily basis. Emulating dot gain on screen in this manner is not a perfect method for predicting what will happen on press, but it is much more accurate than any other techniques you have used in the past.

Jersey Boys
2 tickets
Upper Balcony
How was your experience?
I must begin by saying that we had seen "Jersey Boys" a couple of years ago in Las Vegas, and it was fabulous in every way. I had also heard from many friends who had seen it in various locations in the US and Canada, that they also loved whichever production they saw. So I was expecting to get the same level of enjoyment from this production in Baltimore. However, that notwithstanding, I still don't think I would have been any more satisfied, had I not seen it before. The choreography, dancing, acting, sets--those were all good. The band was fantastic--especially the drummer, who was performing onstage throughtout the show. But the downfall for me was the singing of the Four Seasons, and most notably, the lead singer who was portraying Frankie Valli. The harmonies of the quartet were not locked in tune for too much of the time to suit me, and the voice of "Frankie" was just not up to the task. He sounded nasal, somewhat forced, frought with pitch problems, and he did not faithfully emulate the nuances of the real "Frankie." It was disappointing, to say the least.
The other issue we had was that our seats, which were in the balcony towards the right side, were partially obstructed by an enormous speaker. We were not expecting that.


text: I agree, as one of the reasons I got the COPs was because I'd be using my iPhone for listening. I do with they came with black velour pads instead of pleather, though. That's kind of an odd decision for a limited edition version of a set that normally comes with plush velour.

Hey guys,
I am looking for some circumaural headphones that I can wear around campus, on bus rides, and in the computer lab.
Genres: Rock, Hip-hop/rap, pop, electronic, dubstep, and some jazz, blues, and classical. I like a fair amount of bass, but don't want the mids and highs to be severely lacking.
Current Cans: I currently own ATH-M50s and AIAIAI tma-1. They are nice, but i find they hurt my ears with extended listening. I also own some cheap sennheiser hd202s for walking around right now, but want something a little nicer. I really like the Bose QC2 because they are light and comfortable, but they are not worth the money for the SQ and I dont particularly want ANC.
Price Range: <$150 US if possible. I dont want to spend a lot of money on these right now, as I will be walking around with them and will be putting them in my back pack, so they have to kind of durable.
Any help is appreciated,

Fanconi anemia is a recessive genetic disorder affecting 1 in 350,000 babies, which leaves cells unable to repair damaged DNA. This lack of repair puts Fanconi anemia patients at high risk for developing a variety of cancers, especially leukemias and head and neck cancer.
Cruelly, the condition also nixes the use of an entire class of cancer drugs, namely drugs like mitomycin C, by encouraging DNA to crosslink together like sticky strands of bread dough -- generally, healthy cells can repair a few crosslinks whereas cancer cells cannot and so are killed. However, Fanconi anemia patients are unable to repair the damage done to healthy or cancerous cells done by these drugs and so treatment with mitomycin C is frequently fatal.
A University of Colorado Cancer Center study funded by the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund explored the effectiveness of a novel agent in preventing cancer in this population -- namely, resveratrol as found in red wine. The results of this study will be presented at the 24th annual Fanconi Anemia Research Fund Scientific Symposium, September 27-30 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Denver, Colo.
In fact, the findings may go far past Fanconi anemia.
"One of the Fanconi genes that is lost is BRCA2 -- the same genetic loss that causes many breast cancers," says Robert Sclafani, PhD, investigator at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and professor of biochemistry and molecular genetics at the CU School of Medicine. "So one mystery is why Fanconi anemia patients don't get breast cancer. In Fanconi, every cell in the body is missing that gene -- Fanconi is a very rare thing but it's telling us something about cancers that aren't so rare."
Sclafani's had already shown the effectiveness of resveratrol in treating head and neck cancer, and in this study explored the effect of resveratrol in Fanconi cell lines -- could it prevent cancer by eliminating the cancer cells in Fanconi patients?
"It turns out that regular Fanconi cells aren't sensitive to resveratrol in the way they're sensitive to drugs like mitomycin C," Sclafani says. Instead, Sclafani hopes that additional mutations found in Fanconi head and neck cancer cells but not in regular Fanconi cells will make the cancer cells sensitive to resveratrol in a way normal Fanconi cells are not. His recent results will be presented at the upcoming meeting.
"It's an interesting population," says Sclafani, "and one that may hold information about many kinds of cancer."

The Curiosity rover's Twitter account can be a little strange. This week she was girl-talking with Britney Spears and talking space travel with Nancy Sinatra. So, we have to ask, who makes the better friend for Curiosity?
RELATED: Meet Curiosity, NASA's New $2.5 Billion Mars Rover
It was Spears who initiated her friendship with the rover earlier Wednesday when she asked whether the weather on the red planet had changed in the 12 years since Spears last visited:
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) August 15, 2012@marscuriosity... does Mars look the same as it did in 2000? viddy.com/video/3cea9a58…
This is where we have to disappoint you and tell you that, no, Britney Spears has never been to Mars. She's talking about the video for her 2000 hit 'Oops... I Did It Again," where she danced in the Power Rangers' home base on Mars before falling in love with an astronaut. Warning: don't watch this unless you're prepared to be humming it for the rest of the day.
RELATED: This Is the Clearest Photo of Mars Yet
RELATED: Watch: The Mars Rover Landing in Incredible Hi-Res
It would be rude if the rover ignored such a modest question from a former queen of pop, so Curiosity reported back that things are great on Mars, but her love life could use some work:
— Curiosity Rover (@MarsCuriosity) August 15, 2012
@britneyspears Hey Brit Brit. Mars is still looking good. Maybe someday an astronaut will bring me a gift, too. Drill bits crossed ;)
We're rooting for you, gal.
RELATED: NASA's 'Curiosity' Rover Lands on Mars Intact
On Friday night, she made another famous new friend. The Curiosity team revealed the playlist they use to wake her up every day included no-brainer 'Come Fly With Me' by Frank Sinatra during their Reddit AMA. Sinatra's daughter Nancy, herself a pretty successful singer, thanked Curiosity for listening to her pop's old songs:
Hey, Curiosity. Thanks for liking my dad's music!! He's been to the moon so why not Mars too?!!
— Nancy Sinatra (@NancySinatra) August 18, 2012@marscuriosity
It's because they share similar interests, as Curiosity pointed out:
— Curiosity Rover (@MarsCuriosity) August 18, 2012
@nancysinatra Fly me to the moon, play among the stars, see what spring is like on Jupiter & Mars? That's@nasa's#GRAIL,@nasajuno & me!
As much as we want to root for Sinatra here, Spears is the better BFF choice. Curiosity's a bigger fan of Sinatra's dad. Spears is closer in age, and it's hard to beat two girls bonding over boys. Sorry, Nancy. The picture above is one of the best pictures of Mount Sharp Curiosity has sent back yet. It seems things are going alright up there.

PROVIDENCE – Rhode Island's economic growth accelerated in the final months of 2013, bolstered by improved employment in the state, according to the Rhode Island Current Economic Indicator index released Monday by the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council and Bryant University's Center for Global and Regional Economic Studies.
The CEI for the fourth quarter of 2013 rose to 3 percent from a revised 2.7 percent for the third quarter. The leading indicator, projecting the CEI growth rate for the first quarter of 2014, is forecast at 2.7 percent.
The quarterly CEI combines several "key gauges of economic activity" in a single statistic to measure the overall current economic conditions in Rhode Island. It is calibrated to grow at the rate of the real gross state product and can be interpreted as the underlying growth rate of the state economy, according to RIPEC and the Bryant center.
"Improvements in regional and national economic outlooks have contributed significantly to boost internal economic conditions and, thus, foster job and income creation in Rhode Island," the report stated. "Overall, the state's economy looks better now than it has over the last few years because of both sustained job and income growth since 2012."
However, the state's high rate of unemployment, the skills gap evidenced in the labor force, and a struggling housing market remain among the factors preventing Rhode Island's economy from catching up with the faster-growing national and regional economies.
"The recent trend of New England's regional economy buoying Rhode Island's has diminished over the past two quarters," said John Simmons, executive director of RIPEC, in the report. "The exception to this is the strength of the Massachusetts economy, which grew robustly in the fourth quarter of 2013, and continues to contribute to Rhode Island's growth."
Simmons pointed out that Rhode Island's Current Economic Indicator has consistently trailed the U.S. economy, which grew at an annualized rate of 3.2 percent in the fourth quarter compared with Rhode Island's 3 percent.
Although the New England economy's fourth-quarter growth rate of 2.6 percent lagged Rhode Island, with RIPEC and Bryant projecting a drop back down to 2.7 percent for Rhode Island in the first months of 2014, it is unlikely the performance gap between the Ocean State and the regional economy will narrow, the report said.
"The state's biggest economic challenges lie with its changing labor force, misalignment of labor supply and demand, and long-term structural deficits," the report stated. "In addition to focusing attention on these challenges, the state must strategically plan to develop ways in which it can nourish high-paying industries and their associated jobs."
While challenges remain, RIPEC and Bryant reported that six of seven internal factors positively affected the Rhode Island CEI in the fourth quarter. Although the state's 9.1 percent unemployment rate in December was the highest in the country, average weekly initial unemployment claims declined overall by 8.1 percent in the fourth quarter.
The Rhode Island labor market is slowly improving, according to the report, with 8 percent growth in construction employment, 7.9 percent growth in leisure and hospitality employment, and 3.5 percent growth in professional and business services employment.
The only internal component to negatively affect the fourth-quarter CEI was general sales and gross receipt taxes, which dropped a seasonally adjusted 2.8 percent during the three months ended in December after three consecutive quarters of growth.

By Fok-Yan Leung June is a perfect time to visit Victoria, B.C. The flowers are in bloom. It's warm in the afternoons, but comfortably cool in the mornings and evenings. Victoria is best known for the Butchart Gardens and afternoon tea on Royal Doulton china at the Fairmont Empress Hotel, and as a great place for Canadian retirees. It's not a place where you'd expect to find Viberg, one of the hottest brands in men's footwear. Every picture of new boots posted to Instagram is discussed in detail in communities like Styleforum and the Goodyear Welt subreddit. ... read more

This report describes the historical weather record at the Edmonton/Namao Heliport (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) during 1981. This station has records back to November 1955.
Edmonton, Alberta has a humid continental climate with warm summers and no dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by grasslands (56%), croplands (33%), built-up areas (4%), forests (4%), and lakes and rivers (3%)
Daylight saving time (DST) was observed at Edmonton, Alberta during 1981. There were two time changes during 1981:
1981 was not a leap year, so it has 365 days and no February 29th. The first leap year before 1981 was 1980 and the first after was 1984.
The summer and winter solstices and the spring and fall equinoxes mark the passing of the seasons. They fall on nearly the same day each year, with differences of a day or two depending on the year. In 1981 they occurred on:
Spring Equinox | Friday, 20 March 1981. |
Summer Solstice | Sunday, 21 June 1981. |
Fall Equinox | Wednesday, 23 September 1981. |
Winter Solstice | Monday, 21 December 1981. |
The hottest day of 1981 was August 10, with a high temperature of 91°F. For reference, on that day the average high temperature is 71°F and the high temperature exceeds 81°F only one day in ten. The hottest month of 1981 was August with an average daily high temperature of 77°F.
Relative to the average, the hottest day was September 17. The high temperature that day was 90°F, compared to the average of 62°F, a difference of 28°F. In relative terms the warmest month was March, with an average high temperature of 41°F, compared to an typical value of 32°F.
The longest warm spell was from January 1 to January 28, constituting 28 consecutive days with warmer than average high temperatures. The month of January had the largest fraction of warmer than average days with 87% days with higher than average high temperatures.
The coldest day of 1981 was December 31, with a low temperature of -24°F. For reference, on that day the average low temperature is 5°F and the low temperature drops below -13°F only one day in ten. The coldest month of 1981 was December with an average daily low temperature of 6°F.
Relative to the average, the coldest day was December 31. The low temperature that day was -24°F, compared to the average of 5°F, a difference of 29°F. In relative terms the coldest month was June, with an average low temperature of 46°F, compared to an typical value of 47°F.
The longest cold spell was from June 16 to June 25, constituting 10 consecutive days with cooler than average low temperatures. The month of June had the largest fraction of cooler than average days with 63% days with lower than average low temperatures.
The longest freezing spell was from December 8 to December 19, constituting 12 consecutive days with temperatures strictly below freezing.
The clearest month of 1981 was January, with 10% of days being more clear than cloudy.
The cloudiest month of 1981 was February, with 79% of days being more cloudy than clear. The longest spell of cloudy weather was from November 12 to November 27, constituting 16 consecutive days that were cloudier than they were clear.
This station provides hourly reports of significant weather events at and around the station, but does not report the quantity of precipitation at the station itself. This is common for weather stations located outside of the United States, and for a small subset of stations in the United States that are located at lesser used and smaller airports.
This station reports when significant weather events (including precipitation) are visually observed at or near the station. Such events do not always correspond to measured quantities of liquid equivalent precipitation, such as when the event is near by not at the station, or in the case of solid precipitation that does not melt in the collection basin.
The day in 1981 with the most precipitation observations was January 28. There were 23 hourly weather reports that day (out of a maximum of 24) in which some form of precipitation was observated at or near the station. The month with the most precipitation observations was January, with 128 hourly present weather reports involving some form of precipitation.
As determined by the present weather reports, the longest dry spell was from January 10 to January 24, constituting 15 consecutive days with no observed precipitation. The month with the largest fraction of days without observed precipitation was August, with 77% of days reporting no observed precipitation at all.
The month with the largest fraction of days with at least some observed precipitation was July, with 68% of days reporting some observed precipitation.
In this section we consider only those weather reports that indicate liquid precipitation. For the purposes of this analysis, we include thunderstorms even though some thunderstorms are not accompanied by liquid precipitation.
The month of 1981 with the largest number of those reports was July, with a total of 123 reports. The day with the largest number of those reports was July 7, with a total of 21 reports.
This station reports both when snow is observed to be falling and the measured depth of the snow on the ground. Both are subject to erroneous reports, but the latter is significantly less reliable. Please bear this in mind when reading this section.
In this section we consider hourly weather reports that contain an observation of falling snow. These reports do not necessarily correspond to accumulation.
The first reported snow fall in 1981 was on October 19; the last was on April 12. The month of 1981 with the largest number of those reports was January, with a total of 127 reports. The day with the largest number of those reports was January 28, with a total of 23 reports.
Snow depth on the ground is an optional and inconsistently reported part of standard weather reports. It is rarely reported more often than every six hours, it is often skipped, it is often reported erroneously, and a snow depth of zero is normally not distinguished from a missing report. These issues (particularly the last one) make it hard to collect statistics on snow depth with any confidence. To overcome this issue, we base our statistics on only those reports with present non-zero measurements of snow depth. Reports that fail to mention snow that is present, and reports that do not report snow depth because there is no snow on the ground are excluded because they cannot be distinguished from one another.
The first reported accumulation in 1981 was on November 28. The last day of the snow season with snow reported on the ground was April 13. The day with the deepest snow depth was February 8, with an average snow depth of 7.9" over the course of the day. The longest stretch of time during which there was always snow on the ground was from January 10 to January 25 (16 consecutive days).
Humidity is an important factor in determining how weather conditions feel to a person experiencing them. Hot and humid days feel even hotter than hot and dry days because the high level of water content in humid air discourages the evaporation of sweat from a person's skin.
When reading the graph below, keep in mind that the hottest part of the day tends to be the least humid, so the daily low (brown) traces are more relevant for understanding daytime comfort than the daily high (blue) traces, which typically occur during the night. Applying that observation, the least humid month of 1981 was April with an average daily low humidity of 36%, and the most humid month was January with an average daily low humidity of 68%.
But it is important to keep in mind that humidity does not tell the whole picture and the dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find a given set of weather conditions. Please see the next section for continued discussion of this point.
Dew point is the temperature below which water vapor will condense into liquid water. It is therefore also related to the rate of evaporation of liquid water. Since the evaporation of sweat is an important cooling mechanism for the human body, the dew point is an important measurement for understanding how dry, comfortable, or humid a given set of weather conditions will feel.
Generally speaking, dew points below 50°F will feel a bit dry to some people, but comfortable to people accustomed to dry conditions; dew points from 50°F to 68°F are fairly comfortable to most people, and dew points above 68°F are increasingly uncomfortable, becoming oppressive around 77°F.
To take some examples, and basing our categorization on the daily high dew point in 1981, January had 31 dry days, no comfortable days, and no humid days; April had 30 dry days, no comfortable days, and no humid days; July had 4 dry days, 27 comfortable days, and no humid days; and October had 31 dry days, no comfortable days, and no humid days.
The highest sustained wind speed was 30 mph, occurring on April 5; the highest daily mean wind speed was 20 mph (April 6); and the highest wind gust speed was 52 mph (June 6).
The windiest month was April, with an average wind speed of 9 mph. The least windy month was August, with an average wind speed of 6 mph.
Visibility is the maximum distance at which a given reference object or light can be clearly discerned. In the United States, visibilities that are greater than or equal to 10 miles are typically reported as 10 miles.
The day of 1981 with the lowest average visibility was November 23, with an average visibility of 0.0 mi. The month with the lowest average visibility was November, with an average visibility of 11.6 mi. With an average visibility of 14.7 mi, the month of June had the highest average visibility.
The cloud ceiling is the altitude of the lowest layer of clouds that are at categorized as broken (mostly cloudy) or overcast (cloudy). If no such cloud layer exists then the ceiling is unlimited and no value is reported.
The day of 1981 with the lowest average cloud ceiling was August 12, with an average cloud ceiling of 49'. The month with the lowest average cloud ceiling was September, with an average cloud ceiling of 9972'. The month of April has the highest average cloud ceiling, with an average cloud ceiling of 16467'.

Oh man, I'm going to have to find a new monitor and tear your ass up with it now. I'll be back someday with a second PL 9 (my 1920x1440 behemoth).
Resolution buddies! Only I have a 24" LCD and a 19" CRT. Backgrounds are impossible to find that perfectly fits this resolution.
What does everyone have against Alienware. I ended up cheaper (and better) then if I would build it myself...
I disagree.
Fuck no.
Hell no.
How the fuck did you work that out
He didn't.
I did, perhaps The Netherlands is just expensive compared to other countries. Also managed to get a 5% discount on my purchase.
my two "desks"
the server is actually headless, i plug that in if it ever dies, also just a place to put the monitor haha
What are all the wrenches for? Just curious.
not sure really haha, my dad just gets them form work, find them laying around, no one claims them, he takes them, and we have alot more than that , on the wall next to that there area ones like 2 feet long haha
Is that a PowerEdge 2650?
If so, we use 2 of those at work as (rather aging) Domain Controllers.
Where did you get that?
Looks like he made it... Unless you mean the food...
Bull-Shit, I live in the netherlands and ESPECIALY HERE you pay MORE money.
For example lets take a 1000 DOLLAR alienware build. In holland its 1000 EURO, alienware doesn't give a shit if the dollar is worth less.
To be honest i must say that if you bough the parts loose with a normal cheap 30/40 euro case you could have TWO systems with the exact same specs.
Made it with my aunt.
Gordon Freeman's New weapon.
Btw I really like your 3 monitor set up. If only I had 2 video cards I could do that. :(
Had to photoshop them a bit. Top one is made of a panorama of 12 pictures. Bottom one is a panorama of 3 pictures. Wallpaper changes every 10 seconds. Best cable management ever.
If it were clean with decent cable setup, that setup in its entirety has the potential to be sexy. I say go the effort. to do so, it brings about a much happier experience.
I still want your desk fan.
also I'm thinking about buying one of those unicomp keyboards, how big is it? I want to know if I'm better off getting the spacesaver, I don't have a lot of room on my desk.
About Model M size. It's pretty much the same keyboard.
I know that, but I don't own a model m. Either way, I found the dimensions elsewhere, and it does infact fit on my desk
I have that same poster. Bought it at a book fair in like fourth grade. Hell yeah.
oh god I never noticed the poster, I've got that one too
Uhh....Need better computer D:

Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 3.8GHz

Coolermaster HAF 922
Coolermaster Extreme Power+ 550watt
WD Caviar Green 1TB

4x Antec...3 Speed blue LED
This is the computer I have at my mums btw, the one at my dads is muuuuch better. Getting a i7 920 and dual GTX470s for my mums soon though which is good..
Why don't you post images of it rather than indirectly bloating?
Did the pictures not work....?
IMO That is not a bad computer, ffs rich fuck
This is going to sound stupid and pathetic but I had a dream last night that was horrible, it was a very lucid dream where everything was normal, except someone had broken into my home and stole half of my computer setup (like they didn't have enough time to get it all) well, I woke out of that dream feeling the same way I did in the dream, so I'm spending my day photographing all of my equipment, LCD's, keyboards, mice, laptops, xbox's, the works, and photographing the serial numbers on all of my equipment and then create a catalog of the information, then I'm going to print two copies of all the information out, one goes in the wall safe, the other to the insurance adjuster. I figure this is the proper thing to do.
I seriously recommend you guys do this, just imagine waking up/coming home to find your front door wide open and your room/office in shambles with your PC gone and all that is left is a jumble of cables and a ring of dust from where your monitor used to sit.

RMS Queen Mary 2, the most famous ship in service, will make her inaugural call to Greenock and the Clyde on Monday 19 October 2009 during a special 'lap-of-honour' to mark her fifth birthday. Queen Mary 2 will be the largest ship ever to have sailed up the Clyde – a river which has binding and historical ties to Cunard as over 120 Cunarders have been launched there since 1839. Cunard Line is also celebrating the 170th Anniversary of its founding in 2009 – so a double celebration for the company and its flagship.
The 151,400-ton Queen Mary 2 will arrive at Greenock at 0800 hours on 19 October and remain at the Greenock Ocean Terminal until 1830 hours. To mark the call there will be a firework display immediately before her departure.
Commenting on the visit, Cunard's Managing Director Peter Shanks, said:
"Most of Cunard's great ships, including Cunard's first ship Britannia, and Lusitania, Aquitania, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, Caronia and Queen Elizabeth 2 were all built on the Clyde. As a proud Scotsman myself, born in Glasgow and having spent my early years in Troon, I can say just how we proud we are of our associations with the river. It is appropriate for our flagship Queen Mary 2 to pay tribute to her Scottish forbears and this visit during Queen Mary 2's birthday celebrations is very fitting".
The voyage commemorates the introduction into service of RMS Queen Mary 2 five years ago in January 2004. Still the largest, longest, tallest, widest, most expensive ocean liner ever built and, since the retirement of QE2, the fastest passenger ship in the world. Queen Mary 2 entered service just four days after being named by Her Majesty The Queen during the most spectacular naming ceremony Southampton, her home port, had ever seen. Since that historic entry into service Queen Mary 2 has sailed almost 750,000 nautical miles, completed over 120 Atlantic crossings (the route for which she was specifically built, the first passenger ship to be built for that trade in 35 years), and made calls to 115 ports in 45 countries.
Since becoming Cunard flagship in May 2004, taking over the mantle from Queen Elizabeth 2, Queen Mary 2 has also become one of the most celebrated ships in the world and successfully continues the Cunard passenger liner tradition established 170 years ago.

The lenders who assumed the inside track to buy 480 acres of federal land once targeted for an arena in Henderson cleared their first hurdle Friday when they paid the city $250,000 for the legal fees associated with its land fraud lawsuit against developer Chris Milam.
The $250,000 payment was a condition in this week's settlement between the city and Milam, who bowed out of a deal to buy the Bureau of Land Management property for $10.5 million. Milam's lenders, Texas-based Rockafellow Investments, LLC, and II C.B., LLC, had loaned Milam $16 million, including the $10.5 million he used to pay the BLM for the 480 acres.
City spokesman Bud Cranor confirmed Friday that Rockafellow and II C.B. paid the $250,000. Friday was the deadline.
Milam is out of the picture after the city sued him and alleged a land fraud deal, accusing him of masterminding a bait-and-switch fraud that involved promising an arena when he was planning to buy the land for a sweetheart price and then flip it to homebuilders. He agreed in the settlement to never do business in the city ever again.
The next step is for Rockafellow and II C.B. to pay the city $4.25 million if they choose to close with the BLM, according to the settlement. They have until May 13 to close.
The federal government is investigating the land deal.

Reflection: Classroom Setup Scientific Method - Section 4: Explain
Within my classroom I have a word wall where I place the key vocabulary for each unit. This picture is of my word wall for the first unit. I chose the most important words from the unit that students should know by the end of the unit. The goal of having a word wall is for students to be able to reference words if they forgot the exact name or how to spell the word. Students find it helpful to be able to refer to the key vocabulary as they are reflecting on lessons through discussion, writing, or reading. In classroom discussion I will often point to the word wall and tell students to keep in mind the vocabulary words as they are doing a writing activity or during classroom discussion. At the end of each unit I take down the word wall and put up a new one for the next unit.
Word walls are especially helpful for English Language Learners who benefit from a language-rich environment and become more comfortable with using the new vocabulary in class. I only place the words in English, but I have seen some teachers use both the English and Spanish translation for key vocabulary.
Scientific Method
Lesson 3 of 9
Objective: Students will be able to explain how to set up an experiment, including the use of variables, by taking notes, performing an experiment, and analyzing the experiment's results.
The goal of this lesson is for students to understand that scientific knowledge is gathered through the use of experimentation. Furthermore, they will understand that when designing and carrying out experiments there are a number of things to keep in mind. This lesson is part of Science and Engineering Practice #3 -- Planning and Carrying out Investigations because students will learn (or be reminded of) the steps we take in experimentation, how to identify variables, and the various results of experimentation.
Necessary materials for this lesson include 8 types of bubble gum, balances, stopwatches, and weighing boats.
All of my students come into my classroom with some background knowledge of the scientific method and how to perform experiments, but many are confused on the types of variables (Independent vs. Dependent vs. Controls); the difference between hypothesis, theory, and law; and the way in which the scientific method is used by scientists. As I teach this lesson my goal is to elicit what students already think about these ideas, and then give them my definitions to use in class.
For example, students often think of a hypothesis as something that is proven correct or incorrect, but rather a hypothesis can support or negate a hypothesis (not 100% proven correct). Also, a hypothesis is not just an educated guess or prediction like some students often say, but rather it is a tentative explanation of what may happen.
Additionally, students should understand the difference between Theory and Law and that one does not come from another. They should see that a theory is based on a solid body of evidence that has been tested and supported with evidence numerous times. This is different from a law which is a generalization derived from facts, often without an explanation.
At the start of the lesson I ask students to read and reflect on the scenario "Doing Science" adapted from NSTA's Uncovering Students Ideas in Science book. The prompt is found as part of the beginning of the lesson PowerPoint and notes graphic organizer. I give students about 5 minutes to read and write down their answer to the prompt. I encourage them to work on this by themselves, and that we will have an opportunity to discuss later as a class.
After 5 minutes I take a quick hand-count of students who think that each response is the best answer. For example "Raise your hand if you think that Antoine has the best rationale for why scientists do science" etc. I will elicit student thinking of why they agree with a specific statement by calling on one of the students who raises their hand for each option.
I then go over the prompt with them and explain that all of the opinions have some good reasoning but that in my opinion the best answer is Marcos's, "I think that scientists use different methods depending on their question." I explain how although science often uses experimentation and that the scientific method is a nice way to perform experiments that not all scientists use the same steps or experiments. The goal of this activity is to get at students prior knowledge of what it means to do science, and to stress the fact that science is more than just just following the scientific method.
Resources (2)
In this section students take notes as a PowerPoint is presented. I have them take notes on a note-outline graphic organizer paper (see student notes reflection). Before I go over each of the various definitions in the lesson I elicit student ideas of the concepts, and after each definition I give some examples.
For example when talking about what a "theory" is I elicit ideas about theories where students often say Big Bang Theory or the theory of evolution. During discussion I add in the Kinetic Molecular Theory as a chemistry example
When I ask students what they know about scientific laws, students come up with The Law of Gravity, and as we discuss laws if they have not already been addressed I mention Newton's Laws of Motion and Boyle's Law.
I continue in this manner asking students for their thoughts and relevant examples for each of the definitions on the Powerpoint and the graphic organizer.
Also, as I go over the notes I point out the important vocab words on the word-wall which is especially important for my English Language Learner students (see Word Wall reflection)
Resources (3)
In this part of the lesson I give students an opportunity to practice the scientific method while doing a lab. The goal is for them to work through the scientific method (problem, hypothesis, material, procedure, analysis, and conclusion) while also practicing their lab skills (weighing), math skills (percentage and averages), and graphing skills.
I find it helpful to lead students through the lab by having them come up with the problem after reading the introduction, and then give them a sentence starter to help with the hypothesis. The sentence starter that I use is "Based on my previous experience the type of gum that will lose the greatest percentage of mass is _________ while the type that will lose the least is ___________.".
Once I give students the list of materials I go over the lab procedures. This year I simply had students follow procedure as outlined in the lab, but previous years I have left the procedure section blank and helped lead students through coming up with the necessary procedures (see Reflection for more details).
While I have students perform the lab I find it very important to walk around the classroom to ensure that they are working together and are on task. Furthermore, as students are doing the data analysis I check their answers to ensure that each group is coming up with a proper percentage mass lost. After students find their individual group's percentage mass lost I have them record on the class graph so that all students can copy onto their labs. This is an example of one class graph.
As students are completing the analysis part of the lab and writing/copying the percentage for each type of gum on their individual graphs, I tell them to begin to think about the conclusion questions, but that we will discuss as a group.
As most students are completing their graphs I announce "If you still need to finish copying the class graph you will have time in a minute, but lets all pause what we are working on to discuss the conclusion together." For this discussion I take volunteers through hand-raising, and if students do not raise their hands then I call on the class by group table for responses.
I start by asking students which gum lost the highest percentage of mass and which lost the lowest percentage of mass to make sure that everyone sees how to read the graph correctly.
I then ask them what they think was lost while chewing. I usually get the answer of "sugar" but I then point out to them that most of the gum is sugar free. I will pass out the packages of gum to the groups if I have already collected them and ask for a few volunteers to read off the ingredient of the gum to help elicit ideas about what was lost.
I ask students to think about sources of error, or ways that they could get different results than others doing the lab. I give a few moments of wait time and then ask for some suggestions. One way to keep track of suggestions is to make a table like this one where students see how for each error they can come up with a how that would affect results and how to change for next time.
One suggestion that I get is that there are different masses of the gum, but I explain that this shouldn't be an error because we are looking at the change in mass which doe not depend on the starting masses of the different types of gum. Other sources of error include using the balance correctly which could affect results by giving incorrect masses leading to incorrect percentage mass lost, the precision of the balance which could make it harder to differentiate between different types of gum, how fast students chew which could cause some groups to find that their gum lost more or less mass than others simply because of the way students chewed rather than the gum, and amount of saliva in students mouths which could cause some groups to find that their gum lost more or less mass than others simply because of how it dissolved in certain mouths rather than the gum itself.
In ways to counteract the error I get varied responses from use a more precise balance, double check that balance is zeroed before gum is weighed, have all students chew at same rate, and have each group chew all of the different types.
Because this is the first conclusion I have students write I use a sentence starter to encourage them to answer the questions completely and in full sentences. This is the sentence starter I use by writing on a paper and putting under the document camera:
"Based on the graph ___________ lost the least percentage of mass and therefore would last the longest, this (supports or negates) my hypothesis. Based on the graph ____________ lost the most percentage of mass and therefore would last the shortest, this _____________ my hypothesis. The ingredients that were lost while chewing were _________________. One possible source of error in the lab would be ____________________ which would effect my results by _____________________. If doing this lab again I would do ___________________ to counteract this error."
This is an example of a student lab (see reflection on grading labs for more details).
When students are done with the lab I have them turn in and grade using a rubric
Resources (5)
To check for understanding I have students answer the practice questions at the end of the notes. When students complete the questions I stamp their papers for completion (which I check at the end of the unit when I do binder checks- see unit 1 lesson 8 for more details on binder checks). If there is not enough time to finish during class I have them take them home and when they come to class the next day I stamp their papers first thing.
When students have sufficient time to finish the questions, or the next day, I go over the answers. I do this on the overhead with a blank paper where I go from group to group having students answer the questions, or if there is less time then I just put up the answer key for the first few questions and elicit answers for their experimental design for just the last question
I also encourage students to make flashcards and quiz each other on the definitions at the end of this lesson if time permits. If we run out of time in this lesson than I have them do this another day in the unit where we have extra time. Sometimes I will prepare vocabulary flash cards for students and leave in the middle of each table. I have attached pictures of the ones I used for Unit 1 including the back and front.

Harvard Gets The Oprah Treatment
After receiving an honorary doctor of laws degree from Harvard Thursday morning, Oprah Winfrey spoke at Harvard's commencement, addressing a sea of black and crimson red. From explaining her network's initial flop to her views on gun-control politicking and coining the term "Beyoncéness," Oprah prompted laughter and tears from her audience, which included grads from the class of 1940 all the way down to the newest alumni of 2013. A highlight of the best bits from the queen of talk's Ivy League advice:
1. "It was either that or a bag of Oreos."
In the midst of ridicule about Oprah's OWN network not living up to expectations, Harvard President Drew Faust called Oprah and asked her to speak at commencement. She wondered how she could talk to a room of Ivy Leaguers about success, when she hardly felt successful herself, despite her $2.7 billion net worth. To clear her head, she decided to take a shower—instead of indulging in large quantities of Oreo cookies. Eventually, she "turned that network around."
2. "Not too many girls from rural Mississippi have made it all the way here to Cambridge."
Oprah went back to her Mississippi roots and slipped into a Southern accent to tell the story of starting on television at age 19, and how it helped her become the Oprah she is today.
3. "There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in a different direction."
Though for Harvard students, "failure" may not be a familiar word, Oprah encouraged the recent grads to learn from their mistakes.
4. "Build a résumé that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be, but who you want to be."
The 11th-most powerful woman in the world said her eyes do spread a little wider if she reads "HAHvard" under the education heading of a résumé. But building a résumé is more than that. Oprah told the grads to make it a story, "a story that is about your purpose."
5. "We all want to be validated."
"Was that OK?" Oprah mimicked. On her show, after every interview, she will always be asked some form of that question—whether it's from the mouth of President Obama, a housewife or Beyoncé, who oozes confidence in all her "Beyoncéness." This question taught her that all people need to be validated to feel successful. Oprah giggled at the end as she brought her speech full circle and asked, "Was that OK?"
6. "There has to be a way that this darkness can be banished with light."
In an interview with a family who had lost a son in the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting, Oprah learned about one family's struggle to come to terms with the death. The family would not give up, despite recent gun-control laws being shot down. Rather they will continue to fight for good to come out of a terrible situation.
7. "You want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up."
No matter what challenges or setbacks, Oprah said, success relies on having the ability to come out of the hard times.
8. "What the world needs is people who have come alive."
When people do what they love, the television mogul said, they come alive in their work. She said it is important to "ask yourself what makes you alive" and flock to whatever that is.
9. "I have faith that no matter what, class of 2013, you will be OK and you will make sure we're all OK."
Oprah ended her speech with congratulations and expressed her excitement for the future and for the young people who will lead it—including those lucky, beaming Harvard grads in the audience.

Uterine Polyps Can Cause Infertility or Miscarriage
Page author Richard Sherbahn MD
Uterine polyps sometimes cause problems with fertility - or increase the risk of miscarriage. A "normal" uterine cavity and endometrial lining is needed to conceive and maintain pregnancy.
What is a uterine polyp?
A polyp is an overgrowth of tissue in the lining (endometrium) of the uterus. The concept is similar to that of a skin tag - basically normal tissue, but growing in an abnormal formation.
Many polyps are very small (a few millimeters in diameter) and do not represent a compromise to reproductive capabilities. However, large polyps - or multiple polyps - can interfere with reproduction by causing infertility, or by increasing risks for miscarriage.
Ultrasound pictures with polyps:
Picture at left is ultrasound of a uterus with polyps in the endometrial lining (between green L's). The polyps can not be seen well because they are hidden in normal endometrial tissue.
Photo at right shows the same uterus with sterile salt water injected in the uterine cavity. This test is called a sonohysterogram, or hydrosonography. The polyps are surrounded by water (black) and are easily seen - one is between the red X's.

Hysteroscopy image of the polyp at surgery to remove it

For comparison, an ultrasound picture of a uterus with a normal endometrial lining
Cursors at top and bottom of lining show that it is 11.2mm thick
Hysteroscopy is done by inserting a narrow scope through the cervical opening allowing us to see in the uterine cavity. Instruments can then cut and remove abnormal tissue. |

Mazda wiper online?
so i called my local mazda dealer trying to get the rear wiper. He asked for the VIN number and i told him i didnt have one, he said he needed it. i told him the part numbers i needed but he refused to look them up for me since i dont have a mazda... so i was wondering if there was anyplace i can just get it online? ive tried e-bay and havent found anything... any other help? i also searched and didnt find anything on here... thanks for the help
josh |
Lazy jobsworth gits. What an ass. Ask to speak to the new car sales manager. Tell him that not only do you not have a mazda now, you won't ever in the future either unless he changes that parts monkey's attitude. I can't imagine trying to explain to my boss how I blew a sale on Burton bindings cuz the guy had a K2 board. Maybe you could try some junkyards? all the usual suspects online don't list the wiper arm...hmmmm. Good luck.
I would try either http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214264
Or http://www.parkmazda.com/ http://www.parkmazda.com/xcart/home.php I've personally delt with both and they're pretty good. George at Park is a pretty cool guy....I would try them next [thumb] |
thanks, ordered for half the price i was quoted back at home...
through where, if I might ask?
Just curious, what are the part numbers?
ordered it from the first link you gave me... the place at home that quoted me almost double was bergstroms collision shop (i hate those bastards anyway)
part numbers BP4K-67-421 wiper arm BP4M-67-330A Blade BP4M-67-395A Cover |
it helps to know some things in the Mazda World [;)]
no kidding cuz i searched my ass off on google and found nothing

Lake Erie islands (by size)
Most Lake Erie islands are headed by a small group of year-round residents. However, eager vacationers often raise the populations dramatically during the summer months, most notable on South Bass Island, which is the most tourist-friendly of the islands despite its small size. Most of the islands remain financially stable via tourism. Grape growing and wineries were once the mainstay of the economy. South Bass still has a few large vineyards and Kelleys has a winery. Pelee is the only major island where vineyards remain a mainstay. There is a limestone quarry on Kellys Island; as well, there are a few hobby farms.
The Lake Erie Islands are a chain of archipelagic islands in Lake Erie. They include Kelleys Island, Pelee Island, the Bass Islands, and several others. The majority of these islands are under the sovereignty of Ohio in the United States. Pelee Island is the only major island administered by Ontario, while the smaller Middle Island is the southernmost point in Canada. Most islands that are large enough are popular tourist attractions with passenger and car ferries running from the mainland and between some islands and some small airports and numerous private marinas offering other ways to reach the islands.
For information on all of Ohio's Lake Erie Islands and shores: Lake Erie.com
- Pelee Island (Ontario) Pelee Island is Lake Erie's largest island – 16 square miles located in Southern Ontario
- Kelleys Island (Ohio) Kelly's Island – a vacation island with many unique geological features.
Visit Kelleys Island Website.
- South Bass Island (Ohio)- South Bass is also known as Put-In Bay is the most popular of all the Lake Erie Islands – often labeled the northern Keys. Visit Put-In-Bay Website.
- Middle Bass Island (Ohio) – less 'Touristy' than the larger islands. Visit Middle Bass Island Website.
