Our full range of hydraulic demolition tools covers the whole process
Where service is more than just a promise.
Contact us
We offer the complete package including rock drills, pusher legs, pneumatic breakers, drill rods and drill bits. Together with top quality spare parts, accessories and world class service you will struggle to find a more complete supplier for your drilling operation.
We are the founders of the Swedish method, pioneering handheld rock drilling back in the forties. Our expert skills in rock drills and tools together with our passion for customer care and service is an unbeatable combination for your business.
Our rock drills are not just a good long-term investment, they also make money from day one. This is because they are efficient. For every litre of air you put in, you'll get high impact energy out. Why? Again, the answer is quality. And quality is no accident. It's a question of using the right materials, proven heat treatment methods and machining to high tolerances.
At Epiroc we supply the finest rock drilling tools and the most affordable rock drills.
All our products are constructed and designed to give you straight and accurate holes. Our machines are easily operated by one man and feature improved ergonomics.
For centuries we have been one of the market leaders when it comes to tapered equipment and integrals. Along with rig-mounted grinding machines and our surface rock drills your productivity and service life will increase and give you a more profitable business.
Our pusher legs and stoper rock drills cover all construction, tunnelling and mining applications in different rock formations. They are robust designed, with high impact energy and low air consumption. All of the rock drills have water flushing, rifle bar rotation and the pusher leg control is placed at the back head of the rock drill. An in-line lubricator is included in the delivery of each rock drill. Together with the appropriate pusher leg, the rock drill forms an attractive and cost effective drilling unit.
The Secoroc 250 is manufactured in a state-of-the-art factory using only premium materials. It has been extensively tested with excellent results on some of the toughest mines in the world. Weighing in at only 35 kg, makes the Secoroc 250 an excellent power-to-weight-ratio drill with low vibration. The market leading design makes it easy to service and repair, and interchangeable with parts from existing rock drills.
Other available rock drills:
Secoroc 7655 – economical yet powerful
Secoroc YT27 – efficient all-rounder
Secoroc YT28 – the versatile choice
Secoroc YT29A – robust design and high impact energy
Secoroc YSP45 – affordable versatility and productivity
Our surface rock drills are suitable for all kinds of surface drilling. They are easy to use, reliable and can work with low air pressure from 4 bar and upwards. An inline lubricator is included in the delivery of the Y19A rock drill. Y26 has a built-in lubricator. Both types of rock drills are delivered with air flushing. When a light rock drill is needed, Y19A is a perfect choice for light construction, light quarrying and secondary blasting.
Our pusher legs are light in weight and easy to handle and connect. They are also powered directly from the rock drill. The pusher legs are available in different lengths and extensions to achieve necessary reach. They also come with a variety of tube diameters for different feed forces to suit various rock drills as well as different types of rock. The FT160C has extra extension for higher reach. The FT160B features a powerful leg for small drifting purposes.
The lowest cost per metre is our guiding principle. To live up to this motto, we never compromise with quality. That's why we don't settle for less than super tough C253 steel when we design our integral rods.
To meet all the diverse demands, we supply hexagonal rods, 19 mm and 22 mm, in a wide variety of lengths and bit dimensions. But there's a lot more to our offer than the actual products. As our customer you enjoy access to application knowledge, training and technical support. And thanks to our global presence, we're never more than a phone call away.
The lowest cost per metre is now lower than ever. Increased penetration rate, longer service life and lower drilling costs. With benefits like these, it's easy to see why tapered equipment is grabbing market share from integrals – especially in mining applications and the dimensional stone industry. To us, it makes perfect sense. Tapered products first appeared on the scene in the 1960s. To say that quality has improved since those old days is an understatement.
Our drill steel is highly durable against fatigue, offering high wear resistance and strength, and a low cost per meter drilling operation. We offer fully carburized rods with outstandning quality and maximum service life. Our drill steel is consistently controlled to guarantee the highest quality and performance for your drilling operation.
Voices from customers
We have one of the broadest ranges of handheld drilling equipment and accessories of any supplier in the world.

31243, Hymns, Come unto Jesus, no. 117
1. Come unto Jesus, ye heavy laden,
Careworn and fainting, by sin oppressed.
He'll safely guide you unto that haven
Where all who trust him may rest.
2. Come unto Jesus; He'll ever heed you,
Though in the darkness you've gone astray.
His love will find you and gently lead you
From darkest night into day.
3. Come unto Jesus; He'll surely hear you,
If you in meekness plead for his love.
Oh, know you not that angels are near you
From brightest mansions above?
4. Come unto Jesus from ev'ry nation,
From ev'ry land and isle of the sea.
Unto the high and lowly in station,
Ever he calls, "Come to me."

awesome. again, where can I find ribbon?friedwires wrote:forget repairing the original controller. its fully potted, making it impossible to work on. what you need to do is get that controller out of there. there are three pairs of large wires(phase wires) and a five wire ribbon(halls wires) you need to get to them without damaging them so you can solder to them and bring the wires outside the motor. i found the best way is to get the controller right out of the way. boiling will soften the potting enough for you to dig it out to get at the screws that fasten the controller to the inside of the face plate.once the screws are out,you can pry up under the circuit board and break it out of there piece by piece with pliers. as far as wiring diagrams go you're gonna have to wing it. i may have kept some notes somewhere but either way we can walk you through it. i would recommend a lyen 12 fet controller for this motor,and i'd also recommend running at 48-60v

shaharden needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 29 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
Architectural Mailboxes.net
My name is Shawn Harden and I am constructing my first niche website centered around a manufacturers line of mailboxes. My customer base will be within the United States.
My target audience is any homeowner or contracter living in the contiguous United States.
Ill leave the design up to the designer. The only thing I must stress is that my company name must be prominent in the logo. The manufacturer owns the .com, I own the .net, and their logo and name are trademarked. I will have to have the .net included in my company name and logo. Architectural Mailboxes.net is the official name. Any creative variation of that is absolutely fine. The .net can be capitalized or left in lower case. I just need to have the .net prominently displayed. For reference my site is http://www.architecturalmailboxes.net. It is under construction. I am using the template displayed on the site. I also need a banner to replace the existing one, and will be listing this project also.

text: Lackluster Grain Demand Sparks Selloff March 31, 2013 01:58 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Fran Howard AgWeb Contributing Writer Email Stocks of corn and soybeans remain extremely tight but corn stocks are nowhere near as tight as expected, according to USDA's quarterly Grain Stocks report released March 28. Corn stocks as of March 1, 2013, were 5.4 billion bushels, 387 million bushels larger than the average trade estimate of 5.013 billion bushels. While corn stocks are 16% smaller than a year ago and the lowest since 2004, larger-than expected corn stocks means demand has softened. Since December 1, 2012, corn stocks declined 2.63 billion bushels. A year ago, December-February corn stocks fell 3.62 billion bushels. Feed and residual use for the recent quarter was historically low, says Brian Basting of Advance Trading, Bloomington, Illinois. Basting was the commentator on an MGEX press briefing following the release of the report. "We've seen a dramatic decrease in corn usage year to year," says Chad Hart, agricultural economist with Iowa State University. Demand from the ethanol sector fell 2%, feed and residual use dropped 13%, and corn exports fell 55% due to recent high prices. "The report is bearish corn, at least for old-crop," says Hart. "Stocks are still tight, just not as tight as we expected." May and July corn futures plummeted their 40-cent limits following the release of the report. The corn-wheat link All wheat stocks as of March 1 were just over 2% higher than year-ago levels at 1.23 billion bushels, according to the Grain Stocks report. Wheat stocks as of March 1 fell 16% from December 1 levels of 1.66 billion bushels. Still just like with corn, quarterly wheat stocks were significantly higher than the average pre-report trade estimate of 1.177 billion bushels due to lower feed use. "What we are hearing since March 1, is that quite a bit of wheat is being considered and committed into feed rations because of the price advantage to corn. We could start to see tremendous feeding of wheat," says Basting. Corn and wheat prices have been linked and will continue to be linked, and prices favor feeding of wheat when possible, notes Basting. "Weather permitting, we have the potential to rebuild stocks, particularly for corn and that could weigh on wheat prices as well," he adds. Old-crop wheat futures sank following the report. Soybean stocks were also stronger than expected at 999 million bushels, compared with the average trade estimate of 935 million bushels. Still quarterly stocks as of March 1 are well below last year's 1.374 billion bushels. Since December 1, soybean stocks have fallen 28%. Even so, weaker than expected demand for soybeans sent old-cop futures plunging in the wake of the stocks report.

A Personal Perspective on New York City's White House ONAP Meeting
December 23, 2009
"New York taught the nation and the world how to fight," said actor and longtime HIV/AIDS advocate Rosie Perez. She was talking about the critical role that New York City has played in battling for the rights of people with HIV since the dawn of the HIV epidemic. She made her speech in an auditorium at Columbia University on Dec. 4, where she was setting the stage for a White House Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP) HIV/AIDS Community Discussion. The auditorium was packed with members of New York's HIV/AIDS community -- providers of care and faith, deliverers of services and policy -- who had gathered to express their desires for what the U.S.'s first-ever national HIV/AIDS strategy should entail. I had the honor of being present at this meeting, enabling me to offer you a glimpse into what the experience was like.
A total of 15 ONAP-hosted HIV/AIDS community discussions took place this year throughout the country, along with one related community discussion at a national HIV/AIDS conference. TheBody.com was on hand for the New York City discussion, of course, as well as at the national HIV/AIDS conference in California, where we talked with meeting participants about their speeches and what they believe will be the results of the community discussion process. (You can watch videos of the New York City discussion on our site; the first part of the meeting is at the bottom of this page.)
The mood of the crowd for the ONAP meeting in New York City was reserved and focused. Attendees occasionally broke their game faces to share warm hellos with friends and colleagues, many of whom they likely rarely see outside of meetings and HIV/AIDS conferences. Up on the podium, the ravishing, no-nonsense Ms. Perez was preparing to moderate. She's been a committed HIV advocate for more than 20 years, lending her fame to further HIV/AIDS efforts from fundraisers to public service announcements to local New York protests.
As the moderator, it was Perez's job to keep things moving on schedule by making sure speakers did not talk beyond the 90-second window they were given at the microphone (a rule intended to make sure that everyone in the room who wanted to speak had a chance at being heard). Because Perez is well known and respected in the community, she had the authority she needed to occasionally mow down people's final few words.
Before the speaker portion of the evening began, Perez reminded her audience that despite New York's activist history, "Tonight is not the night to fight." This should be a night for sharing recommendations and solutions with the White House, she said, based on the community's unique, local knowledge. This was too precious an opportunity to use up with attention-getting protests or overly personal, confessional outpourings, she warned. Perez never forgot to thank people for sharing their experiences -- but, as she said in her introduction: "If you do get outta hand, I will be checking you." And we knew she meant it.
As the main event began, people rose from their seats to join the lines of hopeful speakers snaking down the aisles to each of the two microphones that had been set up in the auditorium. Not everyone heeded Perez's warning: There were protests, although they came as the silent raising of strongly-worded signs in the direct sight line of cameras videotaping the event. In addition, a number of people attempted to tell their own stories, though Perez intermittently reminded them, gently but firmly, to stick to offering solutions.
"People need families and communities to embrace and support them as well, and that impulse to embrace and support should come from the top."
Oftentimes, though, I couldn't help but think: The knowledge people have to share is their lived experience. It can't be winnowed down into a collection of statistics of which they're a part. The paths their lives have taken, and the systems they've come up against in the process, matter as much as the "solutions" they've been instructed to offer.
I felt the rawest emotional moments were also the most subtle: the small handful of instances in which someone got up and spoke from his or her own experiences as an HIV-positive person, perhaps for the first time ever. Like the gay, Italian immigrant in the "Campaign to End AIDS" T-shirt, who did not submit a concrete recommendation, but related the story of how his time in Italy and New York City was marred by systems (familial, medical, housing) that had either ignored, spurned or failed him. In cases like his, the speaker may or may not have offered a recommendation, but the takeaway impression was that person's courage in facing down stigma and speaking, sometimes in a barely audible voice, from his or her own truth.
Those speeches testify to the continued need to fight stigma and break the silence around HIV/AIDS, so that people won't feel so much shame that they're self-conscious about going to a meeting in an auditorium on a Friday night in order to be heard and validated. It's wonderful that President Barack Obama and ONAP are listening, because people need families and communities to embrace and support them as well, and that impulse to embrace and support should come from the top.
As full to the gills as the room was, Larry Bryant of Housing Works pointed out to me an entirely empty balcony -- large enough to contain care providers and their clients from every HIV/AIDS organization in the city, he commented. He also noted that most of the speakers were not "everyday" HIV-positive people, but rather people who worked at HIV/AIDS organizations. Though I don't doubt that it's important to point out who is absent and what is lacking from a meeting like this, I was still impressed at the range of testimonies that people made.
Buzz phrases were trotted out by multiple members of the same organizations. Representatives from the National Black Leadership Commissions on AIDS, for instance, spoke individually in support of H.R. 1964, the National Black Clergy for the Elimination of HIV/AIDS Act. The staff at Harlem United made sure the phrase "community viral load" would be on ONAP's radar. A lot of people talked about housing and the importance of "cultural competency" -- the ability to relate to people of different cultures -- in delivering HIV-related services and interventions. There was talk of support for needle exchange, nutrition programs and holistic health services. There was also a call for nationwide coordination of care between major federal agencies that serve people with HIV, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the United States Housing Authority and the Department of Health and Human Services.
"If there was excitement in the air, it was subdued -- like an internal fire the attendees dared not fan for fear it would go out."
There were reminders of issues that many of us may have forgotten. A speaker working in the Bronx spoke of the persistent importance of pediatric care: What will happen to HIV-positive kids as their numbers dwindle, thanks to current kids growing to adulthood (or, more and more rarely, dying) and fewer kids than ever being born with HIV?
There were nods to familiar contradictions, which were humorous at times only because of their familiarity and stunning irony. One man pointed out the number of erectile dysfunction drug ads a TV viewer is subjected to versus the sparse number of ads for condoms. Another tied the legalization of gay marriage to HIV prevention; he sardonically entreated "every single heterosexual here [to] practice safer sex and use a condom for the rest of your life with every single partner and never be allowed to get married."
There were advocates for the specific needs of older adults, Native-American communities and Asian-American communities. When Joseph Akima of APICHA (Asian & Pacific Islander Coalition on HIV/AIDS) took the microphone, an entire cadre of activists of Asian descent rose as a group to show their numbers and solidarity. Hispanic and African-American communities, incarcerated people, men who have sex with men, women who have sex with women, women who have sex with men, queer youth, sex workers, young sex workers -- representatives from all these communities were present, and if they weren't there, someone was there to speak for them.
If there was excitement in the air, it was subdued -- like an internal fire the attendees dared not fan for fear it would go out. As several speakers noted, this may have been because the HIV/AIDS community in New York is still in shock: After eight years of George W. Bush, in which abstinence-only education ruled the day and precious little attention was paid to the U.S. HIV/AIDS epidemic or its root causes, we now have a president who seems to actually care about and want to hear from the HIV/AIDS community in a substantive way. And while those in our community may rightly argue that Obama's schedule should be filled with HIV/AIDS-related activities until we put a firm, tight leash on the U.S. epidemic, the man is busy. He does have war, financial collapse and bickering health care bill-builders to deal with. He hasn't taken an excessive amount of vacation; he seems to be around.
Further, we have people in the White House who say they will listen and respond. Of course, if they don't, that will arguably be an even bigger punch in the collective face of the HIV/AIDS community than if this White House simply ignored the HIV/AIDS community for the duration of its administration. The HIV/AIDS community might be steeling itself for that big punch, because in our own ways we are all traumatized by how people in authority systematically neglect issues of importance to our communities. It would be pretty radical if the current administration proved us wrong.
So if, as Rosie Perez said when the meeting began, this wasn't a night to fight, then what was it a night for? The overarching theme of the majority of the evening's testimonies was: I'm here, White House, and so are my people. We have a stake in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and we need support in that fight. Maybe this time, the White House will listen, and respond.

It won't be the first time Dustin Lynch has attended the Academy of Country Music Awards , but Sunday (April 7) will mark the first time the "She Cranks My Tractor" singer steps foot on the show's red carpet.
"I didn't get to walk the carpet last year," says Lynch through a sly grin. "Because there was no point in me being on the carpet!"
This year, things are different for the tradition-minded Tennessee native. One day prior to the ACM Awards, Lynch will perform at the ACM Party for a Cause in Las Vegas on a lineup that also includes Dierks Bentley , Hunter Hayes , the Eli Young Band and many more.
Lynch's first single "Cowboys and Angels" introduced to him to millions of listeners, his self-titled album hit No. 1 and the follow-up single "She Cranks My Tractor" is currently chugging along in the same direction. Add to that an opening slot on Keith Urban and Little Big Town 's tour this summer, and Lynch has plenty to talk about.
The ACM Awards are such a huge, glitzy event, and it all starts with the red carpet. What's a red carpet experience like from an artist's point of view?
It usually takes about two and a-half hours. It's a huge line. It's every media outlet you can possibly dream of. You usually get out of the limo and there are a lot of fans — which is my favorite part — then you walk inside and all of the press photographers are lined up, so you stand on a dot and then like 50 million people are yelling at you trying to get you to look at their camera. Then you move to the next dot and do the same thing for another group.
Then you start chatting with all the news outlets, which is really neat because you get a lot of outlets in Vegas that don't know a whole lot about country music. So you get some interesting questions — some you're not used to getting or you're not supposed to get. They'll ask like, "So, what do you think about Miley Cyrus' new tattoo?" And I'm like, "What?" Just bizarre questions like that, so it's fun to cut up and shoot from the hip. You're worn out by the time you get to the show.
"Cowboys and Angels" was obviously really big for you, and I thought it showed off a sensitive side. Why was it important for you to start off your career like that?
A lot of people ask me why we did it. For me, I think "Cowboys and Angels" was a special song because I wrote it. I wrote it with my grandparents in mind because they were high school sweethearts. That's really neat to me. I still think it's kind of a tip of the hat back to classic country. My favorite country music is back to the mid '90s — it had a little bit more country feel than a lot of stuff on the radio today.
Where do you think that sensitivity comes from?
Probably my mom, I'm a mama's boy. (laughs) But I think that's what's so cool about music. Everybody shares the same emotion. That's one thing we all have in common, and if you can capture that in a three-minute song, that's a magical thing.
"She Cranks My Tractor" is totally the opposite end of the spectrum. Who could have sung that song back when you were listening in the '90s?
Well, you look back, and "John Deere Green" by Joe Diffie was a big one. "Third Rock From the Sun," "Papa Loved Mama" — there were a lot of those quick-tempo songs. It's funny you said that because when we wrote that song we wanted something like "Ain't Going Down (Til the Sun Comes Up)" by Garth Brooks , and I had that title. It's just a fun song. "Cowboys and Angels" was a serious love song, but this was a fun love song.
Where did you get that title?
I have no idea. I had it for a while, but I was kind of scared because I was a new artist and didn't have a lot of songwriting under my belt. To throw out a title like that is kind of embarrassing. But I finally got the nerve to say it around [producer] Brett Beavers and [songwriter] Tim Nichols, and they jumped all over it.
You've written a lot of songs, but what has been inspiring you for the most recent ones?
I'm writing like crazy. I'm always flying songwriters in and out to meet us on the road because it's a new chapter for me. I'd never been west of the Mississippi River before we started doing radio tours. So I'm getting to see this whole new world I have never been exposed to, and this country has little pockets from different cultures, so it's fun to draw from those things. I can't talk about it because the album is so far in the future, but I'm very confident to say we have some very good stuff already on the second album that just makes me smile.
You'll be opening shows on the upcoming tour with Keith Urban and Little Big Town. What was your immediate reaction when you found out about it?
I was actually on a sidewalk in Lexington, Ky., and I started running up and down and fist pumping. It was a cool moment obviously. But it was super way in advance before we could announce it, so it was tough to keep it secret. I couldn't even tell my band because we couldn't take the risk of letting it out, so I had to wait two and a-half months before I could even tell my band guys. Now that's tough. But it was a cool experience when I got to sit everyone down as a band and said, "We're going on tour with Little Big Town and Keith Urban." Everybody just started screaming.

Want To Get Your Feet Wet With Fabricating? Start Out Small With A Dash Bezel For Your A/C Controls And Stereo.
Jeff Lilly is a multi-faceted person. He makes his living out of Jeff Lilly Restorations, a world-class auto restoration house in San Antonio, Texas. He also happens to be a fine photographer who maintains an enviable home photographic studio. Naturally, he builds his cars with an eye toward showing prospective customers and DIY fans exactly what's behind his automotive magic. His many vehicle projects are painstakingly documented on his website, www.jefflilly.com, and the project shown here is just one of many jobs he's tackled online.
As the economy continues to tighten, more and more of us will be turning (or returning) to our own devices to make what we need to build and enjoy. More of us will be doing things the right way the first time. Here, Jeff guides us through the ordeal of constructing a dashboard bezel, in this case, one holding controls for the HVAC and audio systems. If you plan on building your dream car, you'll appreciate this road map showing what tools to use, how to use them, and the raw materials needed. Find comfort in knowing that the skills and tools used to fab this dash bezel are widely used for other areas of the car; the proper execution of a project like this is practically a graduation diploma from the school of home fabrication!

Mahogany Chicken - Easy
It is traditional in Jewish households to celebrate December 25 with Chinese food, followed by a movie. Or the other way around. In an attempt to perpetuate this stereotype, the theme for this month's Kosher Connection is Chinese food. As part of the rules, we can repost a previously posted recipe, so I'm recycling the basting sauce used for Mahogany Wings and slathering it on other chicken parts as well.
Unless you have a silicone baking mat, line your baking pan with foil. Use foil, even if you have a non-stick pan, because the sauce has a tendency to chemically bond with your pan.
Chinese Hoisin sauce is a condiment whose ingredients vary wildly across manufacturers. Since the brand I use proclaims as part of its name to be vegetarian, I hate to assume what might be in other brand who don't sport a kosher hechsher (certification).
The noodles alongside the chicken are Udon Noodles with Sweet Ginger Scallion Sauce.
See you at the googolplex Tuesday.
Mahogany Chicken - Easy
Serves 4
Cooking spray
1 whole chicken, cut up into eighths
2 Tbl. Low-Sodium Soy sauce
1/4 cup Chinese Hoisin sauce
2 Tbl. rice vinegar
1 tsp. ground ginger
2 Tbl. chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
One scallion, chopped (optional)
Preheat oven to 375F. Line large rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil. Lightly spray foil with cooking spray.
Arrange chicken parts in a single layer on baking sheet. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients except for the scallions.
After the 20 minutes, remove pan from oven (chicken will be only slightly baked). Brush on a coat of basting sauce. Return pan to oven for another 15 minutes.
Chicken will still be underdone. Brush on a second coat of basting sauce. Bake for yet another 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is browned and juice run clear when pierced with a knife.
Plate chicken. Sprinkle with chopped scallions, if desired, and serve with rice or Udon Noodles with Sweet Ginger Scallion Sauce (recipe to be posted tomorrow).

I won't have time to look into the code you posted until later, but if you haven't already done so I suggest it would be worth your time writing a minimal sketch that demonstrates the problem in the simplest way you can.I assume that a simple sketch that just calls millis() repeatedly and prints the result won't reproduce the problem, because it didn't for me.Something else you're doing within the sketch must be triggering it, and the suggestions that it's interrupt overflow seem like the most likely explanation. However, that would not occur on a well-behaved system.You may find it's something that can be provoked by doing SPI writes, or SPI reads, or something else. If you can figure out by trial and error what the key factor is, that would help us understand the cause and get us closer to finding a resolution.
Exactly. He's getting way too much variation to conclude that millis() are the cause.

Reports of a 16-foot-long exotic snake — possibly a New Jersey anaconda — slithering through New Jersey's largest lake have stoked fears among residents and led to searches and questions about what exactly is in the water.
Traps have been set in Lake Hopatcong, while animal control officers and a private reptile expert have been hunting for the snake, first spotted earlier this month.
A spokesman for the state's Department of Environmental Protection said there have been no confirmed sightings of the snake and no evidence that it's acutally there.
"We've been trying to take this seriously, because if there is a dangerous creature we want to help capture it," spokesman Larry Ragonese said. "At this point, we've gone a couple weeks now with a growing story of an exotic creature roaming the lake, and there's hundreds of eyes now trained on it. If there was to be something, you would think that that someone would have seen it."
Gerald Andrejcak said that he has.
Andrejcak, assistant director of New Jersey's Common Sense for Animals, says that he spotted the head and part of a body of what he estimated as a 16-foot-long anaconda last week. He said he cornered it before it escaped by slithering between his legs.
"You can't miss an anaconda head. If you've ever dealt with any kind of snakes, any type of anaconda, you can never forget that head," Andrejcak said. "I know the color and the patterns and everything else. Right off the bat, I knew exactly what it was right when I saw it."
Andrejcak said that commotion from boats in the area by onlookers coming to try to spot the snake may have led the snake to go elsewhere.
The 4-square mile lake about 30 miles northwest of Newark is surrounded by five towns and is the largest freshwater lake in the state.
"I would like to see me get this thing, get it into a zoo safe where someone isn't going to shoot it, kill it," he said. "The snake can be on display, safe in captivity and the lake community can get back to normal."

As a hopeless Jets fan and Tebow-fearing human, I was not too pleased at this afternoon's news that the Denver Broncos have traded divine quarterback Timothy Richard Tebow to the New York Jets. Current starter Mark Sanchez has enough of a media circus on his hands already.
But hey, it's TEBOW! Assuming you don't care about nonsense like "building a successful team" or "winning a championship," there's nothing more fun than watching Timothy in action. So here's your first look at Tebow as a Jet, thanks to the healing power of Madden 12. He's not even that bad!
(Also, if this whole thing falls apart, it might be your only look at Tebow as a Jet.)

Simulation ActivitySetting Up the War of 1812
The War of 1812 is often overlooked or only briefly studied in American history curricula, but this war had a lasting impactit proved America could be a viable and independent world power. The United States at the time was conducting an economy heavily based on imports and exports shipped back and forth across the Atlantic. When America's ability to ship safely and trade freely was threatened, war seemed the only solution. This month's feature article provides background on the lead-up and causes of the war.
In this lesson, students participate in a simulation of the global economy in the years prior to the War of 1812. Students take the roles of ambassadors, naval captains, merchant ship's captains, and merchants and make choices that affect their livelihoods and those of others in the simulation. As students participate in this miniature global economy, they learn how trade restrictions and failed diplomacy impacted America's decision to enter war with Britain in the War of 1812.
In this lesson, students:
- Participate in a simulation of maritime trade in the years just prior to the War of 1812
- Identify the economic events of 18051812
- Explain how these events pushed America closer to war
- Fake dollar bills (not provided)
- Written instructions for each role
Download Lesson Materials (PDF)
- Assign students roles to play in the simulation. You will need at least:
- 1 French Ambassador
- 1 British Ambassador
- 1 American Ambassador
- 1 French Naval Captain
- 3 British Naval Captains
- 5 American Merchants (add more if you have more students)
- 5 American Ship Captains (add more if you have more students)
- Find a large area of blank floor space, such as the cafeteria, gym, or parking lot. Tell students the space represents a map of the world. Choose a direction for North and mark it for students.
- Ask students where France, England, the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean would be located on this world map. You may want to use flags or signs to denote where each country is located.
- Have each student go to their starting position
- The French Ambassador in France (give him/her the French Ambassador's Announcement)
- The British Ambassador in England (give him/her the British Ambassador's Announcement)
- American Ambassador in America (give him/her the American Ambassador's Announcements)
- French Naval Captain off the coast of France (give him/her the French Naval Captain's orders and Loss of Goods)
- British Naval Captains off the coast of America (give them British Naval Captain's Orders 1 and Loss of Goods)
- American Ship Captains in America (give them Orders for American Ship Captains and Loss of Goods)
- American Merchants in America (give them Choices for American Merchants, Loss of Goods, and five dollar bills)
Lesson Extensions
Have each student draft a letter of protest to the American government detailing their complaints about the unfair treatment they received from the French and British navies.

Friends of J.S. Jenks, an independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to "enhance the educational and enrichment opportunities at J.S. Jenks Elementary School in Chestnut Hill," will host its second annual silent auction and reception to benefit the school's art and music program from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, June 1, at the Church of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields, 8000 St. Martins Lane.
This year's fundraiser, entitled "Oh, the Places We'll Go," features a variety of auction items from area businesses and artworks created by Jenks' students in addition to live entertainment, kid-friendly food, appetizers, desserts, and drinks. Children are welcome to participate in games and craft activities while parents bid on auction items.
Haviva Goldman, president of the Friends of J.S. Jenks (FOJSJ), said the organization was formed to build community ties because "we realized that in order for the school to be sustained you have to have community ties and build partnerships to bring in programs that the budget just can't cover."
"But, we can't fight this kind of battle if they're going to cut anyone who is there to support partnerships at the school like the dean of students, the counselor, the gym teacher and the music teacher," said Goldman, whose son attends Jenks. "These are the people who really hope to build programs. If the school district cuts them, how are we suppose to build community partnerships? We can't do it alone."
She added that the success of the public school requires the support of parents, the community, the school district and public officials. Last year's silent auction raised about $7,500. Goldman said her group hopes to raise double that this year.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will help support music, art, and enrichment programs at Jenks. A donation of $20 a person, $30 for two, or $40 a family is suggested.
This year's event will mark the launch of a major fundraising drive to renovate Jenks' auditorium, transforming it into a modern performance and community space, while preserving its historic charm.
Persons interested in making a donation of cash, goods, or in-kind services should contact the auction coordinator, Lauren Wiley, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 609-937-4860. All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by the law.

The East Tennessee State University athletic department announced that Keith Davis (Bristol, Va.), Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.), Trevor Smith (Newport, Tenn.) and Justin Clear (La Follette, Tenn.) have signed National Letters of Intent to join head coach Tony Skole's Buccaneer baseball program for the 2002 season.
Moore earned All-Knoxville Interscholastic League honors for Knoxville Catholic High School last spring. The catcher/infielder hit .544 with five doubles and eight triples in 2000. On the mound, Moore went 5-3 with 74 strikeouts and a 2.81 earned run average.
"We are extremely excited to have a player of the caliber of Caleb Moore commit to play baseball at East Tennessee State," Skole said. "Caleb was heavily recruited by many top programs and we are proud he chose ETSU.
"Caleb is a very versatile athlete who can do many things well on the baseball field. He is a fine young man and represents the quality of individual we are building our program with here at ETSU. I have no doubt that he will be a success both off and on the field. Buccaneer fans will enjoy watching this young man play in the years to come."

Preventing Age-Related Cognitive DeclineApril 2005
By Laurie Barclay, MD
Impairment of memory and learning need not accompany normal aging. Susceptibility to age-related cognitive decline varies widely among individuals, suggesting that interventions may be helpful in preventing its occurrence. A large body of scientific studies indicates that age-related cognitive decline may be partially controlled or prevented.
A particularly intriguing development in the field of brain health and longevity occurred with the release of a Canadian study on the use of a combination dietary supplement in the prevention of age-related cognitive decline.1 Using the transgenic mouse model of aging, researchers discovered that a cocktail of 31 nutrients and plant-based extracts abolished age-related cognitive decline in the test subjects. This exciting finding lends hope to the prospect of minimizing or eliminating cognitive decline in humans. In this article, we examine the mouse study and the nutritional and herbal remedies that make up this powerful anti-aging supplement.
Although findings from animal studies cannot be applied directly to humans, they shed light on mechanisms of brain aging and open fruitful avenues for human intervention. An interesting model for age-related cognitive decline is transgenic mice that are genetically modified to produce increased growth hormone, a crucial regulator of growth and aging.1
Young, mature transgenic mice learn mazes faster and with fewer errors than normal mice. As they age, transgenic mice accumulate more free radicals in the brain than normal mice, causing learning impairment and premature death.
In a recent study from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, transgenic mice were fed a unique combination of nutrients designed to protect against age-related cognitive decline.1 This "anti-aging" supplement contained many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, herbal extracts, and brain-supportive nutrients to improve the stability of nerve cell membranes, boost mitochondrial energy production, optimize insulin sensitivity, and reduce free-radical damage and inflammation.
After receiving this supplement daily for nearly three years, a large group of transgenic mice did not develop age-related cognitive decline. Older transgenic mice that were given the supplement learned a complex maze faster than younger, untreated transgenic mice, with virtually no impact on growth and no apparent negative consequences.1
With increasing age, untreated transgenic mice were dramatically worse—while treated transgenic mice grew progressively better—in terms of their number of errors and attempts required to learn the maze. Learning was at least 200–250% better in treated older transgenic mice than in untreated normal mice or in untreated older transgenic mice.1
Implications for Human Health
What are the implications of the transgenic mouse study for age-related cognitive decline in humans? If cognitive decline can be prevented in mice using a combination of supplements, then perhaps nutritional remedies can also prevent cognitive decline in humans. Recent findings from other studies suggests a sound rationale underlying each of the 31 nutrients composing the anti-aging supplement used in the mouse study.2,3 The anti-aging supplement included:
Many of these ingredients act in several different ways to protect against the ravages of aging, and are more effective when taken together than when taken individually.2,3
Animal studies, population studies in normal aging and in age-related diseases, and clinical trials all suggest that these nutrients are vital to brain health and might help protect against age-related cognitive decline.
Enhancing Brain Cell Energy
To perform its complex functions, the brain requires a continuous high-energy level. Aging brain cells are inefficient at glucose intake and mitochondrial energy production. This allows for the buildup of cellular debris, eventually destroying brain cells and causing age-related cognitive decline. Nutrients that can help restore energy production may therefore help prevent or control brain aging.
By transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, the amino acid acetyl-L-carnitine helps to produce energy while preventing the accumulation of toxic fatty acids. Feeding acetyl-L-carnitine to aged rats for long periods reverses the buildup of toxic fatty acids in brain cell membranes to a more normal pattern typical of younger animals.4
Supplements combining acetyl-L-carnitine with the antioxidant lipoic acid help reverse mitochondrial breakdown, oxidative damage, and memory loss in old rats.2,3,5 Based on these promising results, this combination is being tested in humans.
"Each chemical solves a different problem—the two together are better than either one alone," senior researcher Bruce Ames, a molecular biology professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said in a news release. "With the two supplements together, these old rats got up and did the Macarena. The brain looks better, they are full of energy—everything we looked at looks more like a young animal."6
A recent review of well-controlled clinical studies suggests mild benefits of acetyl-L-carnitine in probable Alzheimer's disease.7 Compared to placebo, acetyl-L-carnitine was better at improving memory scores.
"[Acetyl-L-carnitine] slows the progression of Alzheimer's disease in younger subjects," researchers concluded from a well-designed study of more than 300 patients, conducted at 24 US clinics.8
Another high-octane booster of brain energy is coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also called ubiquinone because it is present in every cell in the body. By facilitating synthesis of the basic energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), this potent antioxidant helps generate 95% of the body's energy.
In animals, CoQ10 levels drop by about 25% with illness, 50% with aging, and 75% before death.9 Studies in old rats suggest that dietary CoQ10 reaches brain mitochondria, restores CoQ10 levels to those seen in young animals, and may protect against degenerative brain diseases.1
In a study of 80 patients with the degenerative neurological condition known as Parkinson's disease, high dosages of CoQ10 slowed progressive worsening in function—especially feeding, dressing, bathing, and walking—by 44% compared to placebo.11 Based on these encouraging results, the researchers recommended additional testing in hundreds of patients.
Brain-Friendly Fatty Acids
Although the accumulation of toxic fatty acids can damage the brain, not all fatty acids are harmful. Brain cells use essential fatty acids, including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), as fuel and as basic building blocks. Cod liver oil, cold-water fish, and flaxseed oil provide these omega-3 fatty acids.
By controlling chronic inflammation, omega-3 fatty acids may help reverse brain damage associated with aging and degenerative diseases. In studies with aged and young rats, DHA supplementation significantly decreased free-radical levels of lipid peroxide in the hippocampus, a brain region involved in memory, and also reduced errors in maze learning.12
Other benefits of omega-3 fatty acids include lowering blood triglycerides and preventing blood from clotting too quickly,13 which may indirectly improve brain function by increasing blood flow and reducing stroke risk.
In some individuals, depression contributes to memory decline with aging. Levels of omega-3 fatty acids in red blood cell membranes may be reduced in depressed people.14-16
In a study of 815 Chicago residents who were 65 years of age or older, the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease over four years was 60% less for those who ate fish at least once a week than for those who rarely or never ate fish.17

Imagine the potential pandemonium occurring between two major sports events at the Clink this Sunday if the last of Seahawk fans don't filter out until well past 5:00 (supposing an OT game -- hey, it could happen) and Sounders fans trying to get in for the 6:00 start. Both crowd and traffic. I'm glad I'm staying home that day!
And the locker rooms fiasco. And, can they put the soccer lines down that quickly? I'd like to watch them try!
Am I missing something here?
