In its 10th and final season, the CW drama series Smallville is pulling out all the stops, as it concludes its modern retelling of a hero's legendary origins. Throughout its popular run, it has continued to blend realism, action, heart and humor as Clark Kent (Tom Welling) soars toward claiming his birthright as Superman. With just half of the season remaining, fans of the show and its lead actors are starting to speculate about what they will get to see their beloved characters do before the show's conclusion.
During a recent interview to promote the February 4th return of all-new episodes, actress Erica Durance talked about what she would like to see Lois Lane do before the end of the season, what she's brought to the iconic role, the feedback she's gotten from fellow Lois Lane actress Margot Kidder, what she loves most about Lois, the storylines and the superheroes she's most enjoyed seeing on the show, being directed by Tom Welling, and what she'd like to keep from the set. Check out what she had to say after the jump:
Question: When do you shoot the finale?
ERICA DURANCE: I don't have the exact dates, but it's probably in the next month or so. We're done on March 22nd.
Do you have any idea what it's going to be yet?
DURANCE: I have no idea what's in the finale.
What would you like to see happen?
DURANCE: I've thought about this a lot, but they surprise me, all the time. I would love to see Lois fly. Not her, herself, but with Clark. This is my wish list. This is not what the producers have told me. I would love to see her get married to Clark. I'd love to see her really find herself and find her grounding and go, "Okay, this is who I am," and settle down.
What do you bring to Lois Lane that other actresses haven't?
DURANCE: That's an interesting question because it forces me to answer it in a way that makes me feel like I'm being conceited. I think that you can't help but bring pieces of who you are. No matter what you do, it comes through you, as a vessel. So, I suppose that some of the things that you see in this particular Lois – with her spunkiness, or certain moments of neuroses, or that high energy perkiness, or the laughing, or the klutziness – are definitely me. I am not a particularly aggressive person. That's not Erica. I play a kick-ass woman.
Have you gotten feedback from any of the other women who have played Lois Lane?
DURANCE: Yeah, Margot Kidder told me that I hit it out of the park. But, I have not heard from Teri Hatcher at all.
What do you most love about Lois, and is there anything about her that you wish you could change?
DURANCE: I don't feel that I want to change anything about her. I think she just happened the way she was supposed to. I can't go back and change it. But, I love that she's flawed. I love that she's human. You need that juxtaposed to the perfection of Superman. I think that's part of why she's written the way she's written, and why she's there. She just has this absolute loyalty for what is good and right and just, and it parallels what Superman is and what he embodies. I think that that's why it works so well.
Have there been any storylines that you've particularly enjoyed doing, over the years?
DURANCE: I have always enjoyed the episodes where Lois and Clark are investigating something, and they're together and there's a lot of stuff going on, and there's a lot of banter, and there's a bit of humor, and they spice it up with a little bit of everything. Those are my personal favorites, when I'm doing it, as an actress. Now, to sit back and watch it – because I also love the Superman mythology – I like to see him be so iconic. I love to see some of the other superheroes come in, and the Justice League, and all that kind of stuff. A prime example is in our 200th episode, when Clark is in the elevator with his Superman self. I freaked out. I went up to him and I was like, "Oh, my god!" It was fantastic! He had the phrasing down, and it almost sound old-fashioned. He just flawlessly went into this thing and I got excited, as a fan.
Which other heroes have you particularly enjoyed having on the show?
DURANCE: I can't help but say that I love Green Arrow. I really enjoyed the Hawkman character. I love his huge wings and the whole graveliness of his voice. I loved the Martian Manhunter. Phil Morris is a really cool human being, and it was such a neat character for Clark to have in his life. He was cool, too.
If Clark Kent weren't around, do you think Lois would get together with Oliver Queen?
DURANCE: In the episode that we did where there were the two universes, you do see that she does end up with Oliver, but when Clark was in that universe, you could see that it wasn't her true love. I think that is representative of what would be the reality.
What's it been like to have some of the show's long-time producers, along with Tom Welling, direct episodes in this last season? Has it been nice to have people who are so familiar with the characters directing some of the episodes?
DURANCE: Yeah, absolutely. It's fun to work with some of our executives, who are writers, in that way, because we don't really get to see them very much since they're in L.A. To have them come to Vancouver and fulfill the role of being a director with you is a really fun experiment. And, it is Clark's show, so having Tom in there, doing the directing, it brings a totally different vibe to it. He has a lot of respect and treats people with respect. He's an incredible director.
Is it any more stressful to have him as the boss, instead of just the co-star?
DURANCE: No, because he's the most unassuming person you'd ever meet. He has no ego. You'd have no idea. He's just in there to be a part of the team, and he fulfills that role.
Is there something that you hope you can take home from the set, once the series is finished?
DURANCE: I'd like to keep a couple of my costumes. I'd like to take my Daily Planet nameplate. And, I'd like to steal one of the Blur's jackets. I like the jackets that he has.
Do you dread the last day of filming?
DURANCE: I look forward to change, but there is a part of me that absolutely dreads it.
Have you thought about what type of roles and projects you want to look for, once you're done with the show?
DURANCE: Yes and no. I am a little bit like Lois, in the way that I fly by the seat of my pants a little bit. Of course, there's some intellect given to it. I really enjoy comedy, but I also still really enjoy the drama aspect. So, I don't like to narrow my possible chances out there. I have seen a couple of scripts and I just go with my gut. My gut will go, "You know what? That one's not me, but that one would be interesting." Maybe just something else that shows another aspect of females and tries to keep us more well-rounded.
Are you looking more for film, instead of signing on to do another television series?
DURANCE: No, I'm open to whatever.
Do you have anything set yet?
DURANCE: I have a break. That's it. I might do my own independent film, that my husband wrote for me, if all the ducks are in a row. It would be very, very fun to team up on that. Other than that, I'm just going to wait and see.

There are those people who specialize in types of services that help other people's needs, especially if it involves roadside problems. Whenever someone experiences accident on the road, he/she calls professional who can assist him/her with the vehicle. We call those heroes towing service providers/companies who bring their tow truck with them. It's a good thing especially if you can trust the Little Rock City impound for when your car needs it.
No matter what kind of roadside problems you experienced: slide-offs, one-car accidents, breakdowns, engine troubles and others, getting the car towed is the best option. Towing is a great experience if you just know how to choose the best towing company. Check out our list below so you will be assisted on how to hire the best towing company.
- Eligibility of Company
A company's eligibility is really important especially that they will deal with your property. Before you can make a list of your prospects (tow companies that might help you in the future), check the company's reputation and eligibility. Make a list of companies in your city and call them. Ask about the details of their services.
Ask people for references. They could either be your family, friends or company's past clients who have had experiences with the company's services. Once you've narrowed down your options, you can call the company itself and ask for list of past clients. It's better that you interview them about the services they got.
- Say NO to Tow Trucks that Shows Up
If unfortunate things happen, like getting involved with slide-offs and breakdowns, a towing company will be dispatched by emergency service so you can't choose them by yourself. There would be a time that a tow truck will show up unannounced. Companies which are eligible will display their IDs together with their license. They should also be insured and registered.
- Take a Picture of Your Car
Before the towing company arrives, take a picture of your car so you can easily document the past condition of your vehicle. If something unexplained or unexpected damages happen, you can provide evidences that the damages are done during the towing.
- Wisely Sign Paperwork
Mostly our habit includes not reading the paperwork presented to us. When you sign one, make sure that you're read each detail so the company won't be able to add conditions you did not agree in the first place. Also, put your sign near the agreed fee so you won't be unknowingly charged extra.
- Ask for Receipt
The transaction will become legit if the company issues a copy of your invoice and receipt. It can also make sure that the only charge you're going to pay is the one agreed by both parties.
- Ask About Insurance
Some insurance policy includes the towing, if ever if you get into accident. The insurance companies will provide you with the list of towing companies they can send to your rescue.
Hiring towing companies can be stressful especially if it's your first time to consider hiring one. Just follow the list we gave you so your vehicle will be safe.

Pain is an unpleasant sensation that only you can feel. It is what you say it is. A change or increase in pain does not necessarily mean your cancer has returned or is progressing.
Pain may be caused by a number of things, including cancer, cancer treatment, or a medical problem not related to your cancer diagnosis. Most pain can be treated with medication, treatments such as physical therapy, or a combination.
Your doctor and nurse will help you find the best possible way to control your pain. On occasion this may involve an expert from the SCCA Pain Clinic, which specializes in managing complex pain related to cancer.
Emergency Signs and Symptom
Call 911 immediately if you have:
- Severe chest/arm pain

- New or uncontrolled pain
- New headache
- Chest discomfort or heart "flip-flop" feeling
- Pounding heart
- Painful central line site or area of "tunnel"
- Burning in chest or stomach
- Strong stomach pain
- Pain with infusion of medications or fluids into central line
What You Can Do at Home
These steps can help:
- Maintain your treatment plan.
- Take medications as ordered.
- Do not increase your dose of medication without talking to your nurse or doctor.
- Keep a pain journal.
- Use hot or cold packs.
- Find a relaxation technique that works for you, such as guided imagery, hypnosis, massage, and therapeutic touch.
- Listen to relaxing music.
- Continue activities that are meaningful to you. Such activities may help you notice less pain or discomfort.
- Before taking pain medication/opioids, ask your nurse or doctor about ways to prevent constipation.
Taking care of your pain will help you sleep better, feel stronger and be better able to cope with your illness.
How Can We Treat Your Pain?
Your pain can be treated or managed in many ways, including relaxation techniques, cold packs, physical therapy, over-the-counter medication, or prescription narcotics. Learn more about how your health care team treats pain.
As a patient at SCCA you have the right to: be informed about pain and pain management; have your pain treated promptly; and have health care providers who believe your report of pain.
Your health care team relies on you to: describe and rate your pain; ask about pain management; discuss options; ask for pain relief when you first experience pain; inform your doctor if your pain treatment is not working; and work with your doctors develop a treatment plan for you.

"Om Sathguru Sri Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadikkae"
If anything could match the soft and fresh purity of snow, from the gem world, it is the flawless and gentle 'White Agate!' As you gaze upon a string of white agates, you are lost in the reverie of their gentle magic – one that soothes and refreshes the mind and the heart, at the same time… Much like how snowflakes feel, as they gently caress your skin!
White Agate is indeed a stone that soothes, calms, relaxes, and comforts the spirit with its pristine pure vibrations… It is a stone that slowly works, to bring in healing light and strength. It is angelic stone..
Hima is quintessentially, this 'Snow Angel', who embodies beauty, grace, and a sheer sublime serenity. As a piece of jewellery, Hima is bliss!
The subdued sheen of brushed-silver offers an attractive harmonious blend to the soft white opaque. The Silverine touch of the exquistely carved connectors and spacers, lends the necklace a heavenly feel…..
Double layered in white agates, Hima, despite its modesty, is definitely striking in beauty!!

Russell Brand? More like Russell Banned. Russell Brand is banned from entering South Africa, and he isn't sure why. Some people think we ban him here at Evil Beet, but that's totally not true — check out this Russell Brand appreciation post. So, we're very sorry that Russell Brand can't do his Rusell Brand thing in South Africa. There's not a lot of details yet. Here's what TMZ has:
Brand tweeted about the ban today saying his people thought things had been worked out with S.A. officials … but when Russell landed, airport staff said he couldn't stay.
It's unclear why he's not allowed in South Africa … but the "Get Him to the Greek" star claimed the same thing happened to him in Canada back in '11.
Oh man, Russell, what have you been up to?
P.S. Russell Brand.

This article is part of the NOFA Vermont Dairy and Livestock Technical Assistance Program.
Organic milk buyers know that milk with a low somatic cell count (SCC) will have longer shelf life, less off flavor and higher cheese yield, which is why they pay quality premiums. Those premiums are a big economic incentive to prevent mastitis and maintain low SCC. Keeping high-count cows out of the tank can do this, but mastitis prevention is ideal. Prevention requires monitoring udder health to detect new mastitis cases early on, as well as adapting management practices to increase sanitation and prevent infections from spreading.
In the article Milk Quality on Organic Dairy Farms, Dr. Linda Tikofski of Cornell University emphasizes the importance of good milking procedures to prevent mastitis. Her list of procedures includes: pre-dipping & wiping with individual towels; fore-stripping into a cup or gutter to remove high SCC milk and bacteria in teat ends; milk fresh heifers first, then low SCC cows, then high SCC cows, then contagious cows last; and applying a post dip to at least 2/3 of the teat. She also said that it is better to leave some milk in the udder than to damage teat ends by pulling down on machines or leaving them on too long.
In a recent webinar on organic dairy cow health, Dr. Guy Jodarski, staff veterinarian for Organic Valley/CROPP Cooperative, also discussed the importance of dry cow management to prevent mastitis, including good dry off procedure, dry cow housing with clean & dry bedding and nutritious high forage diet.
For more information on organic production, herd health, and other technical assistance available from NOFA Vermont, contact Sam Fuller, Program Coordinator, at 802-434-4122 or email@example.com.

Britain's Music Venues Are Under Threat
Since the Coalition Government in the UK came to power in 2010 there has been a concerted effort by politicians to put housing back at the top of the list of national priorities amid worries that a housing 'superbubble' may be happening in London and the South East of England.
The change in the law that has coincided with the government's plans to spark another wave of house building came into effect on the 30th of May last year. Since then the Music Venue Trust (a Non Profit that represents the interests of the live music sector) knows of 7 premises that are under threat from the legislation which allows local residents (and more importantly) new and encouraged local developments to make complaints about established music venues with impunity.
As a result the Trust are now campaigning for an urgent review of Noise Abatement Legislation to ensure that a fair balance is met between the concerns of local residents, developers and the local business owners and music fans who frequent various live music hotspots up and down the country.
"The campaign we're running at the moment is one specifically aimed at the noise legislation, and that's for two reasons" says Mark Davyd, CEO of the Music Venue Trust. "Number one is it's a series of laws, there's not actually one specific law we're going up against. The series of laws – all of which are quite good in themselves – are great but unfortunately when you put them together you can start to see where the loopholes are. Specifically on noise abatement, the loophole that's emerged there has come about through changes to the planning laws which encourage the building of flats and apartments in town centres. Now that seems like a good idea."
"Specifically, the Clean Air Act 2005 and the Environmental Protection Act 1990 — both of those seem pretty good but when you put them together with some stuff that was done in 2013 about local authorities listening to local residents' and their noise complaints, you realise you can build a flat right next door to a music venue and have it shut down. Which is plainly against common sense."
"And so our complaint isn't necessarily that anybody has made a mistake with any of these laws, it's just the accumulative effect of those laws needs to be reviewed and we need to be saying 'Well, what about people and their right to a music venue?'"
"Are we seriously going to close down all the music venues in the UK because somebody wants to build a block of flats next to them?"
"When a lot of these venues started it was kind of a punky, outlandish thing to do but increasingly they are the places that have become the cultural spaces of town centres where young people go to. I'm getting on a bit now but I still go to Music Venues. The atmosphere around them needs to change, people's understanding of them needs to change and the attitude towards them [from other parts of the cultural sector] needs to change also."
"Secondly, I think we also have to be quite honest in saying 'some of this looks like intentional abuse of some of these acts'. That's the other thing we're really trying to bring to the attention of the Secretary Of State for The Environment. We have people who are looking at property values and realising that the presence of a local music venue depresses property prices because they're loud and noisy places to live by. It becomes a bargain if you can move in, shut down your local venue, remove the noise and then inflate the value of your property."
"The local authorities largely aren't to blame though."
"The Fleece in Bristol is threatened by development, so is The Vault in Rugby, The Picture House in Edinburgh went because of noise, there's a venue in Brighton at risk too. There is a particular responsibility for music venues to act and behave like good neighbours. And I think the Music Venue Trust should support people who say 'please can our music venue behave responsibly'"
"But people who are saying, 'Hey, I wanna live wherever I want to live and I want to change the environment so it's suitable for me', need to think differently in our opinion. The law shouldn't really be supporting people who are buying up properties that aren't really suitable for people to live in and then shutting down the problem, which in this case is music."
"This wasn't happening five years ago. Since the change in the law we know of at least 7 venues that are under threat from noise abatement legislation. Lots of people who have chosen to live in vibrant parts of the UK's towns are quite happy to live near a music venue, they have often made that choice knowing full well that there is a venue in the area. Why should that venue be shut down just because of a new development?"
"We're the first venue to fall foul of that rule," says Chris Sharp from The Fleece in Bristol, one of the venues under threat from a new development being built "20 metres from the stage". "Within three months of the laws we had a notice issued to us saying the offices next door were due to be turned into residential flats"
"The change in the planning laws has opened the doors for anyone with an office block to turn those into flats, and since most office blocks are in town and city centres they are also close to music venues."
"The Government made an electoral promise to build a certain number of houses and their way of trying to meet an almost impossible target is to put through legislation like this. It will create a lot of housing but it will also create a lot of problems too."
"I had a meeting with Kerry McCarthy, a Bristol Labour MP, and she said it was 'rushed through' and not 'thought through' and as a result there's this huge loophole and people are suffering."
ConcertTour.org reached out to The Noise Abatement Society, an NGO that promotes ways to combat antisocial noise, for comment on the issue.
"With the Music Venue Trust there are ways in which we have common interest on this issue and we see no reason why venues and residents cannot co exist together," says Lisa Lavia, the organisation's Managing Director.
"Apart from noise which is a danger to human hearing, anything else is open to interpretation based on the context in which that sound takes place. That's the beauty of the UK Noise legislation, it's very very flexible."
"The noise legislation can allow that venue's event to take place. The problem is the specification of the new builds is not sufficiently high enough for residents to not feel like they're living next to the stage. And that's completely solvable by having the council require a higher specification for the building so those people aren't continually exposed to a noise source. Whatever that might be."

For those of you marvelous girls getting engaged this year, you might get a nice surprise when ring shopping. According to industry research firm IBISWorld, the average price of a wedding ring will drop nine percent this year.
"With the unemployment rate rising and job security uncertain, people's budgets are shrinking," explained Toon van Beeck, senior industry analyst with IBISWorld. " They're holding off on big purchases, such as engagement rings and wedding planning, which is lowering demand and subsequently price."
Over 2009, IBISWorld estimates the average price of an engagement ring to fall to $3,000. This is a sharp drop compared to 2007 when economic times were good and engagement rings were about $4,500.
When buying rings on a budget, many grooms are going to I Do Now I Don't or to a diamond wholesaler.

Parenting Tips
Posted by Captain Noble at 9:12 PM 1 comments Links to this post
The Honeymoon is Over
My blood sugar has been up higher lately and I've had a harder time keeping it down. Part of it has certainly been the numerous amounts of sweets around during the holidays combined with my own sweet tooth. Even when I've been good, though, it has been up. I'll eat the same thing I usually do, take the same amount of insulin, and my sugar will still be up 20-30 points.
I saw my doctor last week and he told me the "honeymoon is over." Type 1 Diabetics often go through a honeymoon period during the first year after their diagnosis as their pancreas ekes out the last bits of insulin before finally throwing in the towel. He had me increase my nightly Lantus injection from 20 units to 25. He also strongly recommended I start a regular exercise regimen. It's not that I don't want to, but between working full-time, going to school, raising two daughters, and helping my mom out, I don't know when I'm supposed to exercise.
I suppose I'll need to find some way of doing it, though. High blood sugar can lead to all sorts of complications that I can't afford to get. Maybe I'll start sleeping even less...

SEC Commissioner Lists Top Two for 1998
This year, Securities and Exchange Commissioner Isaac C. Hunt, Jr., has two accounting and auditing priorities: monitoring the development of high-quality, cross-border accounting standards and promoting auditor independence.
Hunt told attendees at the American Institute of CPAs Conference on Current SEC Developments in Washington, D.C., that he supports the initiative of the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) to develop a core set of accounting standards for cross-border securities listings. The IASC had reached an agreement with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) in 1995 to complete a core set of standards the IOSCO could endorse for cross-border offerings and listings. The IASC intends to have final rules on financial instruments completed in November.
The commissioner emphasized that the SECs acceptance of IASC standards was not a foregone conclusion. He said any set of accounting standards issued for global acceptance must provide full disclosure. They must be transparent, said Hunt.
He said the SEC remains, nonetheless, enthusiastic about the IASCs standards project and that any delay in producing a final set of standards would not be consequential. According to Hunt, the content of the standards is of far more significance than the issue date.
Independence: perception and reality
Auditor independence was the most popular issue among senior SEC staff speaking at the AICPA conference. At issue is whether the professions initiatives to provide clients with new services adversely affects its ability to be independent when auditing financial statements.
Hunt said auditors must avoid all suggestions of mutuality of interest with the management of public companies for which an auditor provides services. At other conference sessions, William R. McLucas and Walter P. Schuetze of the SEC Division of Enforcement reiterated the commissioners remarks and added that the Enforcement Division would confront the accounting profession about independence issues more frequently in 1998.
Challenging the profession about this is not an attempt to limit the growth or development of an accounting firms scope of services, said Hunt. But if an auditor provides a particular service to an SEC audit client, we may find it impairs the auditors independence with respect to the audit of that clients financial statements.
Hunt said the SEC would work closely with the Independence Standards Board (ISB) on the issue.
New Loophole for ERISA Practitioners
Recent changes in investment adviser registration, which generally gave the states responsibility for smaller advisers and the SEC authority over larger ones, resulted in an unintended problem for smaller advisers who worked with plans under ERISA: On one hand, the new regulations required them to register with their states; on the other hand, ERISA still required SEC registration. Dual registration was not allowed. Caught in a Catch-22violating the new regulations or ERISAthe smaller practitioners faced a loss of their practice niche. (See Registration for ERISA Practitioners , JofA, Oct.97, for details.)
As generally expected, however, Congress quickly passed a law solving the problem: Now, these small ERISA practitioners will register with their states and are exempt from SEC registration. S 1227 received virtually no opposition and became PL 105-72 when President Clinton signed it on November 10. The complete text of the new law (approximately two pages) is available through the federal governments THOMAS Web site ( http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.html ) or in the Congressional Record (Senate-September 26, 1997, page S10026).

Some Southeast Seattle neighbors, working for years to get some traffic problems fixed, appear to have gotten a good reception at City Hall Tuesday
Next question: what happens now?
Four of them, members of the grassroots Task Force for a Safer 31st Avenue South, appeared before the City Council's Transportation Committee to plead a case to slow traffic and to ease what they view as hazards on the street.
Their proposed project between Yesler Way and Mount Baker Boulevard would install a number of traffic circles, median planters and curb extensions designed to narrow the width of the street and get drivers to slow down.
Most of the 1.5-mile street segment, originally built more than a century ago to accommodate two streetcar lines, is 44 feet wide. A recent study said the width and poor sight lines at curves make the street particularly dangerous for pedestrians and drivers despite its relatively low amount of traffic.
The segment in question is located between Martin Luther King Jr. Way South and Lake Washington Boulevard but unlike those streets lacks traffic signals. Residents on 31st Avenue said speeds there can reach 60 mph on the street, which has a 30-mph speed limit.
The city-funded study by Transportation Solutions Inc. said there were 123 accidents and 40 injuries between 1994 and 2005.
"It scares us," said resident Susan Davis.
The study recommended a number of changes, including installing traffic circles at three intersections, adding landscaping in medians and along sidewalks, narrowing lanes and adding curb extensions and bicycle lanes.
The project, which is estimated at more than $3 million, drew support from the city Department of Transportation and Police Department, but residents asked officials Tuesday what the next step is.
"Nothing has changed" in the situation, said Ana Brown, another board member on the neighborhood task force.
The answer seemed to be that they'll get something, though it's unclear how soon. The group applied for grants from the city's Neighborhood Street Fund and from the Bridging the Gap transportation tax levy approved by city voters last fall.
Committee members didn't act, though several seemed to back the proposal.
Vice Chair Peter Steinbrueck said, "I don't need any more convincing" that the street needs fixes and that the council may consider special budget appropriations to help finance it. Committee alternate Richard Conlin called the plan "really creative" and said it fit with a new city policy of slowing traffic on arterial streets.
The committee chairwoman, Councilwoman Jan Drago, said after the meeting the plan developed with city agencies is "different than the way we've operated before. At least what has been shown is that (this part of) 31st Avenue South is a high speedway and there's issues that need to be addressed."
She said she's "optimistic" the neighborhood will get what it needs, though "it's going to be (done) over multiple years," she said.

An arc simulation can be extremely useful. It can serve as a tool to choose primary and secondary tank parameters, will give a hint at achievable arc lengths, allows a guess at primary currents in a DRSSTC, can answer questions like "Are bigger top loads better than smaller ones", are higher or lower operating frequencies better, is there a choice between long and thin versus short and fat sparks, what is the effect of shorter or longer bursts, how does upper pole perform in comparison to lower pole operation etc.
The arcs temperature plays a big role in the calculation. At higher temperatures, the heat causes ionisation by fast air molecules bumping into each other. That begins at 3000-4000K. But also at lower temperatures, there is an effect, because the air expands, making it thinner and causing breakdown voltages to drop. There is also a time dependency there, since the expansion is not immediate but takes a few us. Short, but possibly not negligible. So to sum up, QCW data would be quite interesting.
...is there however any pitfalls or common causes in all 3 sets?
Can the simulation do some calculations as well, depending on maybe some more input data, so it automatically calculates some parameters from the model you set up for a specific spark appearance? I know this sounds a bit the wrong way around, but could be a confirmation of the model.
This was something we discussed many years ago on 4hv, the differences between Kizmo's 1uF, Dalus' 1.5uF and mine 0.8uF, but only at a surface level of calling it low vs. high impedance and compare spark brightness/thickness. So while the low impedance also have lower losses in the primary circuit, shorter ring up time it might still be the preferable choice due to higher arc temperature from the start? Or is the "few us", more than a few, so a high impedance coil with long on-time gets in the same range anyway?
Mads wrote:Quote...is there however any pitfalls or common causes in all 3 sets?I'm not sure, what you mean here. Can you explain?
@Hydron:I didn't mention that in the post, but I'm certainly eagerly awaiting new data. Do you have any specifics about your big coils primary tank? My simulations predict a somewhat larger current there as your OCD setting, so I am a bit puzzled. Your new data on primary and secondary base currents would definitely be helpful. The breakout points also play a big role. I've taken the extension of your point from the video. I hope I got that right. (7.6cm?) I believe, the length of the rod plays a significant role wrt to the voltages of the top load.
As mentioned in the thread, I may have another shot at data collection this month - would you have any suggestions on which is more valuable data to get from second channel of the non-floating ("primary") scope - choices are bridge output voltage or secondary-base current (primary current is a given for the first channel).

An October afternoon sparkles down on the Barnard General Store and Silver Lake.
Creative artists often have the luxury of writing their own job description. For example, I wander around Vermont looking for great subjects to paint.
But dream jobs can come with considerable responsibilities, even if they are self imposed. Doing my best work and sharing it with you are mine.

What Are Throat Blisters?
Often many suffer from the throat blisters. Knowing about the ailment in detail helps one to prevent it and cure it.
- Throat blisters are painful inflammations that occur on the soft mucous membranes, which are the lining on the throat's insides
- When the blisters break open, pus is sent out, this results in severe pain in the throat and can also cause mouth ulcers
- The symptoms are fever, sore throat and other sickness symptoms are also found in the people affected by the throat blisters
- The causes of the throat blisters are cold, flu, viral infections, a few inflammatory diseases and other medical conditions.
- The doctors examine the blisters to identify the cause for the outbreak of the throat blisters
The treatment for throat blister is given based on the cause:
- If viral infections, cold, flu, chicken pox are the reasons for the throat blisters, then the medical treatment focuses only on the pain relief
- When herpes simplex virus is involved, the antiviral drugs are prescribed by the doctors
- Strep throat is the very common bacterial cause for throat blisters, antibiotics are given to the patients in such cases
- An yeast infection called oral thrush can also lead to throat infections and blisters, anti fungal medications are given to the patients when such cases are diagnosed
Medications For Throat Blisters:
Many try to take common pain relievers for the throat blisters; this is to be avoided, as these medications may worsen the situation. You can instead try the medicated mouthwashes and oral sprays to get relief. While a few can be got over the counter, a few medications and sprays require the prescription of a doctor.
Home Remedies:
There are time tested home remedies for many of the illness. There are home remedies for this case too:
- Consume hot soup or tea. This soothes the throat
- Use an air humidifier in the room you stay or sleep. Dry air can worsen the situation
- Gargle frequently with a solution of regular salt with 250 ml of water. Gargling with warm water gives better result.
- Rest yourself from strain and grab a day's leave from work
- Stay away from cold water and ice-creams and avoid consuming anything cold.
How to Avoid:
You can avoid throat blisters and reduce the chances of getting infected through various ways:
- Keep away from all the viral and the bacterial infections.
- Keep your hands clean. Clean the hands with soap, water and disinfectant to keep it hygienic.
- Avoid contact with people who have sore throat, cold and flu

Three Minutes With….Todd Kerns and Doc Ellis of the Sin City Sinners
June 3, 2010 by Jessica Messina
Filed under Daily Music News, Three Minutes With....
I first brought you these guys as the Spotlight Band for February, right before the release of their CD "Exile on Fremont Street", and now vocalist Todd Kerns and bassist Doc Ellis were ready to take on the "Sack O' Questions"!
If you could put together your dream project – a band, or a tour, or an album – who would be involved?
Todd: Band… tour… album… You mean put together a band of my favorite players? Something like that? That's a good question. I've always wanted to do a record and have Sami Yaffa play bass, because he's my favorite bass player. Have somebody like Dave Grohl play drums, and then have Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols play guitar,and I'll sing and that'd be my band. We would tour the world and elsewhere. We'd take the tour to the Milky Way.
What's your guilty pleasure?
Todd: My guilty pleasure is things like "Smallville". A television show about a teenage Superman I find fascinating. Mind you, I find all things Superman fascinating. Most people assume I'm this rock n' roll kinda guy, and I am this rock n' roll kinda guy, but I have a real thing for cheesy sci-fi and comic books, and stuff like that. I love it. I can't get enough. That's me!
Make your plug!
Todd: Sin City Sinners. "Exile on Fremont Street". The video's called "Goin' to Vegas", and there's other videos for "Gotta Girl" coming and "Numb" coming. Three videos in two months. You'll see!

This question was submitted by Mario: What's your best hangover remedy?
Doc: I haven't had a hangover in a long time because I've discovered the best way not to get a hangover is to just not stop drinking! In the old days, a remedy was Mountain Dew… full of caffeine. However, I like to think that best offense is a good defense. So, before you go to bed, make sure you eat something extremely greasy. I recommend Naugles, no not Naugles, they changed the name…. It's now called Del Taco! Eat as much bacon and as much pancakes as you can stuff into your body! That will cure a hangover! NEXT?!
Now you can plug whatever you want!
<tapping on table in time to words and drops voice> Buy the Sin City Sinners record. Buy the Sin City Sinners record. Okay! And GVR (Green Valley Ranch) Saturday nights!
Side note to my readers: Todd will be playing bass for some shows with Slash this summer. (You know who he is, right? He's that top hat-wearing guitar player who used to work with that Axl dude) Here's my challenge to you – go to the Sinners' website and get yourself a t-shirt (while you're there, pick up a CD too!) and wear it to see Slash. I triple dog-dare you to show Todd that the "Sinners Nation" extends beyond the 702! (You can be sure I'll be asking him how many he sees, so I hope he keeps track!) You now have your mission… GO!

I know I don't resemble one of those "real life" anime girls with the kind of bulgy cartoon eyes that are likely to haunt you in your dreams (if you don't know what I'm talking about, look at this now), but I feel like there was a slight increase in my level of anime-ish-ness during my most recent shoot.
Slight resemblance? Just a little? MAYBE??

Hi! Thanks for stopping by to see my entry for the Mark's Finest Paper, a Heinrich Co. Scrapbooking Challenge. This week, in honor of March 17th quickly arriving, the challenge is to make something with a St. Patrick's Day theme.
This week, a random winner will be chosen to receive the Liberty Lady Mini Stamp Set. Since this is a newer challenge, the entries are still low, so you have an excellent chance of winning!
For my layout, I decided to do a page for our wedding album. Our wedding anniversary is this week, and even though we were married eight years ago, (and I may or may not be done with our wedding scrapbook!) I still love making pages and taking that awesome stroll down memory lane.
I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the Lucky In Love phrase and the shamrocks. Both of those cuts are available in the Silhouette store. I used the offset button on each cut while it was highlighted to make a shadow for each item, then I added a little bling since I'm all about the bling!
I used the Christmas Greetings stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Co. The stamp set doesn't seem to be available in their store any longer, but you can get the same sentiment in a different set called Mini Christmas Wishes.
Please come join us for the challenge this week. Remember, you need to use a stamp on your layout. It doesn't have to be a Mark's Finest Paper stamp, but if you do use an MFP stamp, you'll get double entries! You have until next Wednesday at 8 pm EST to link up.
Happy Scrapping! ~Amy E

Many people no longer believe that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a 'surprise' attack, but that it was not only expected, but antagonized with the oil embargo.
But what of Statement Analysis?
It is now said that Roosevelt carefully planned to enter the war, but did so while he told the American people that he would not enter the war. President Clinton said that Roosevelt "had to" do this because of moral obligation. These steps included:
1. Asking Congress to repeal neutrality laws
2. Issuing an embargo against Japan, the former ally of the United States, from WWI.
3. Arming one side of the combatants, including the Soviet Union.
Knowing that these steps were provocative, President Roosevelt was openly opposed to by the majority of Americans, but especially Charles Lindberg, who's broadcasts often exposed the deliberate hostile steps taken by the United States.
Here, in September of 1939, we find a statement for analysis.
What does the statement reveal?
On September 1st, 1938, Germany invaded Poland. Two days later, Britain and France declared war on Germany. At a press conference, a reporter asked President Rooseveltthe following question:
Q. "Can we stay out?"Here is President Roosevelt's answer.
"I sincerely believe we can, and every effort will be made by this Administration to do so."
Since it is the unknown, "believe" is expected. That he had a need to call this a "sincere" belief, makes the belief, itself, sensitive.
But what about his intention?
If his intention was seen in action, what about words to the American public?
The American public, according to polls, were overwhelmingly against becoming entangled in European conflicts, and saw that Germany's ambition was really east, and that England and France had brutalized Germany in the Treatie of Versaille. The American public viewed Hitler as a brutal and coarse dictator, but would soon be told that his brutal counterpart, Josef Stalin, was a "good guy" and ally.
President Roosevelt then spoke to the nation on national radio, to assure them that he would not become entangled in another foreign war, even as he was asking Congress to repeal the neutrality laws passed after World War I.
Keep in mind that in this audience, were millions of Americans who's lives had been severely hurt by the first World War, just 19 years prior. WWI "basket cases" (those who had arms and legs amputated) as well as the "shell shock" victims, and so many others in that brutal war, had long protested any more involvement in Europe.
Here is what President Roosevelt said to the American people, and is the statement for analysis:
"Let no man or woman thoughtlessly or falsely talk of sending armies to European fields.... This nation will remain a neutral nation.... I want you to know that your government has no information which it has any thought of withholding from you.... You are, I believe, the most enlightened and best-in-formed people in all the world."
What does your analysis show? I have highlighted some of the words for your analysis.
Since the war was won by the United States, does this impact your analysis?
Knowing both the victory, and then subsequent revelations (President Clinton was only quoting released documents and testimonies), what do the words, alone, tell you?

As of May 1, 2013, all police departments in the state of Connecticut will be mandated to implement new eyewitness identification procedures that are designed to prevent mis-identification and subsequently wrongful convictions.
In response to the Innocence Project and other advocate groups, Connecticut has implemented real change in the way the police conduct eyewitness identification. Eyewitnesses identification has been under fire for years due to the number of exoneration's made by the advancement of DNA technology.
The simultaneous identification procedure, where the victim / witness sees everyone at once has been totally scrapped. Police in Connecticut will use the Sequential Photo and Live Lineup procedure where the victim / witness sees one photo / person at a time. Connecticut didn't stop there. They also instituted the Double Blind Procedure which means that the officer conducting the identification does not know which person in the photo / live lineup is the alleged suspect. This is meant to prevent the police from tipping off a victim / witness who the suspect really is.
In addition, the officer conducting the eyewitness identification must obtain two signed statements from the victim / witness. The first, "Witness Instructions – Identification Procedures" which outlines the process and rules of the identification and a "Confidence Statement" in their own words on how certain they are of the identification – if made.
Police departments often resist change, especially ones that may make their job more difficult. Stricter rules on how eyewitness identification works will effect some cases, but will improve prosecutable cases too. No detective wants to send an innocent person to prison and these changes will take a giant step towards reducing those chances.
If you want to read the entire procedure check out the links below.

[quote author=PharaohKatt link=topic=635.msg13530#msg13530 date=1289867023]
One of the primary methods of evolution is Natural Selection. Given that humans, as a species, have started caring for people who would have otherwise died, given that people with genetic variations that would have been unfavourable in the wild are living and having children, have we changed the process of evolution?
We're not exactly naturally selecting anymore. Are we still going to evolve, and if so will the rate of evolution be different than in the long ago?
Well...there's a couple things to think about here. 1) Natural selection *is* important, don't get me wrong...but its not the only force that directs evolution. For example...sexual selection often leads to traits that aren't beneficial to an organisms survival. Now, unlike animal species that have really obvious sexual selection traits (a peacock for example), we have a variance of cultural and individual things we find attractive...so...if you apply that to people...well, who the heck knows what might happen in another dozen generations (seriously, look up the movie Idiocracy...its very sad) 2) Also...humans haven't had natural selection really be an obvious force for a while. We've been pretty savvy at manipulating our environment to our advantage for quite some time. But that doesn't mean that selection doesn't happen, just that its probably going to be more subtle as different things make you more or less successful and more or less likely to have grandchildren
Because really, at the end of the day, the ultimate success of evolution isn't that you pass your genes on to the next generation, but that they pass their genes on to the next generation.

CELEB OTTER: When San Diego CVB posted a link to the latest animal video sensation, they pointed out that it is rare to see a popular internet video that is sans cattery. And otters? We can't think of the last otter-esque viral video to sweep onlinedom. So what we're saying is the moment was due, and the moment is now, and it is a cute one, if moments can indeed be called cute. (We think they can.) Watch as this San Diego Zoo otter races a small tot (and wait for close to the end if you're dubious there's actually a water-land competition afoot/afin).

Camper For One, Please: Bufalino Concept
The Bufalino, designed by Cornelius Comanns (great name) is a little three-wheeled camper made for a single person. Or two if you like things cozy. Like, really cozy. I'm talking privates touching cozy (the best kind).
the minimalist construction is based on the existing piaggio APE 50 three wheeled light transport vehicle; a model chosen for its economic and fuel efficient benefits.
'my aim was to give people a better understanding of the country, the surrounding, and the range they have travelled. the travelling vehicle is always with you like some kind of a base camp, while also being used for moving on in an easygoing and spontaneous way.
'bufalino' encourages users to explore the surrounding off beaten tracks. meanwhile the furnished interior consisting of a bed, two seating units, a cooking zone, a basin, storage space, a water tank and a refrigerator offers the comforts of a home.
Call me crazy, but I actually want one. I've always wanted to get behind the wheel and see this great country of ours. Ooooor get drunk and have a 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' marathon. What? Baby steps, yo!
Hit the jump for a whole bunch more pictures of the last thing you'll ever camp in before being mauled by a wolf/bear/mountain lion (maybe I've been playing too much RDR).

Happy Trails!
Have a great winter we are off on our annual epic trip to Central America. This years trip starts off with us driving to Florida in a nice big Cadillac, and getting paid to do it too! We'll stop off in Tennessee for BBQ and in Meansville Georgia for the best Tilapia you'll ever find at an airport! Then after dropping the car off in West Palm Beach we have a few days for poking around South Beach Miami before we fly to Honduras for $8 each!
Once on Honduran soil we will make a bee line from the metropolis of San Pedro Sula to the northern coast town of La Ceiba, and just in time for Saturday night at the ex patriots bar! Then the trip gets a bit more relaxed, we will hop a chicken bus to Trujillo, the town where both Columbus and William Walker landed in the new world for the last time. From here we will try to get a boat to Guanaja, and then on to the east end of Roatan, but if we can't we will retreat to La Ceiba, and just in time for Saturday night at the ex patriots bar!!!
I learned to dive on Utila back in the early nineties so we will slide over there for a week. We want to get some of the BBQ at RJ's and if we're lucky Dave's as well. There are some great bars on Utila so we might be up a bit late! Our friend Vern sails back and forth between Utila and West End, Roatan a couple of times a week, so we will get to Roatan with him.
Once on Roatan we let go of the reins, we have so many friends here and they will have a wide variety of options for us to stay in once we arrive. After stopping off at Coconut Tree Divers to see our friends, we'll wander over to Sundowners for a few drinks and the greatest sunset on the planet!
