Alaska: Where the Wild Plastics Are

clouds and water.jpg
Resurrection Bay, 2015

Boat repair kit — check. First aid kit — check. Three days until Kevin and I leave for six weeks of kayaking, camping, and trash hauling in southwest Alaska. Packing and logistics are complicated because our trip has three separate legs. First, a week in the Kayaker’s Cove Hostel in Resurrection Bay, exploring caves and Alaska-style rock-gardening. Second, a self-supported wilderness kayak camping trip on the Kachemak Bay Water Trail, ending in Homer. Third, we will join a team of volunteers on Shuyak Island State Park, collecting marine debris by sea kayak–a perfect blend of adventure, ecology, research, and writing. Shuyak Island lies in the eastern end of the Kodiak Archipelago.

Shuyak Island

In February, I joined the crew of Exxpedition on Sea Dragon, a 72’ sailboat, and wrote about our journey in There is No Magical Place Called Away. We sailed from Trinidad to Barbados to St. Lucia, testing waters for disintegrating plastics and meeting with concerned islanders. The founders of Exxpedition are researching threats to health—especially to women’s health—from endocrine disruptors leached from plastics thrown away into the sea.

Now, I’m facing northward, towards the Gulf of Alaska where large plastics and other items float from Japan and points east. Instead of bathing suits and board shorts, I’ll be wearing neoprene booties, smart wool and a drysuit. These trips to the north and south–both focused on marine debris–seem like bookends to me and highlight the global dimensions of ocean health.

Last year in Alaska

Tom Pogson of the Island Trails Network, a community-based non-profit specializing in marine debris advocacy in the Kodiak Archipelago, is coordinating this clean-up effort. Fellow paddler Dawn Stewart saw Tom’s call for experienced sea kayakers to volunteer for two-week stints, and the three of us applied that night. It was too exciting an opportunity to pass up—wilderness kayaking and cleaning up Alaska’s shoreline. In NOAA’s Marine Debris Blog, Tom described the difficulties of accessing Alaska’s largely road-less shoreline, other than by small boat and float place. Alaska’s waters have enormous tidal flows—which make for rough water and fun kayaking!

Tom sent us an extensive packing list, and our living room is strewn with gear that must fit into our kayaks. In addition to the expected paddling and camping gear, we have Xtratuffs–rubber boots that apparently all Alaskans routinely wear, knee pads, and heavy duty rubberized yellow rain gear. Kodiak and Shuyak Island are rain forests, so we can expect to be wet and muddy for several weeks. I’ve also packed massive quantities of coffee for survival.

Like the rest of Alaska, Shuyak Island’s weather is unpredictable, ranging from sunny and clear to gale force winds. It could look like this:

A float plane will carry us and our gear from Kodiak to Shuyak and will resupply us with food midway through our visit. During these two weeks, our team of 7 will collect, haul, and drag–whatever it takes–junk that others have thrown away or lost. Later in the summer, others will collect and study these items. Judging from pictures of last year’s clean-up on nearby Tugidak, these wild plastics will be human-size and larger. On the Seadragon, the scientists of Exxpedition needed microscopes and tweezers to handle the microparticles we found, but on Shuyak, we will just need brute strength.

Enough about the debris—we are going to an incredibly beautiful and wildlife-rich area. We should see harbor seals, birds, and, possibly, bears. Tom has been teasing us with breath-takings pictures for weeks now, and I can’t wait to see this area in person.

Our preparation time is winding down, and we are consolidating our gear into checked bags. From the tropics to the Arctic, we are going where the wild plastics are, to the beauty of Alaska’s waters, and whatever adventures they bring.

To Sup or Not To SUP

Despite being a diehard kayaker, when I first saw a paddleboard, or SUP, I knew I would love it. I liked the idea of being able to stand up and paddle, and I thought that SUPs would be perfect for the flat rivers and spring runs of north central Florida where I live. Now, after several years of paddleboarding, I have taken my 10′  ULI Steamroller all over Florida and Georgia, to the ocean, gulf, rivers, and springs. I also bought a 9′ AllWave Fanatic for surf, which is perfect for the baby waves I can handle.

Getting Started
Standing up on a paddleboard is fairly intuitive, and it doesn’t take much to get going. And if you fall in, just climb back up on the board, a real benefit on a hot Florida day. I first tried paddleboarding at the Sea Kayak Georgia Symposium, which although primarily a kayak event, often has several SUP options. Danny Mongno from Werner Paddles, showed me two types of paddle strokes and taught me how to do pivot turns, which helps me in the surf. As in kayaking, paddling comes from the core, not the arms, so learning proper technique has helped me avoid shoulder wear and tear. As I have become addicted to SUP surf, Ronnie Kemp of Sea Kayak Georgia has mentored me on techniques, such as turning on the wave. Just like skiing, though, learning to surf takes a lot of falls. As Ronnie reminded me the other day, I spent more time in the water than on the board.

Paddleboarding is a different workout than kayaking, and it engages different muscle groups. When I first began, my feet hurt from gripping the board, and my legs get a workout from constantly balancing–especially in choppy water. Paddling through the surf is a full body workout, and I have learned to loosen my legs to paddle over waves.

Where to SUP
Florida’s calm rivers and springs are ideal places to SUP, and standing up on the board offers a terrific vantage point to see manatees, fish, and turtles.

I often paddle the Ichetucknee River, starting at the south entrance and paddling upstream to the headspring at the north entrance, then floating back down. Paddling upstream on the Ichetucknee–and most springs–is not difficult. In places where the river narrows and the flow is stronger, I hop from eddy to eddy, working my way upstream. Last week, I paddled up the river and swam down, pulling the board behind me, and experienced the river from above and below. Spring runs like the Ichetucknee, Wakulla, and Rainbow Rivers are perfect places to get your ‘board legs,’ and the Ichetucknee State Park’s new outfitter rents extremely stable boards.

Kayaks on Cannon Spring during the drawdown

The shallow water of the Florida Keys is perfect for paddleboards. I’ve seen a variety of marine life, including baby nurse sharks hiding in the mangroves around Bahia Honda, Knight’s Key, and Curry Hammock State Park. At times, I’ve had to lie flat on my board to get through mangrove tunnels, a challenge to boarders. The shallow waters of the Keys and the darker waters of the St. Johns River and Ocklawaha River present another challenge to boarders: the fin. Several times, my fin has snagged on roots under the water and pitched me forward to an undignified face plant on the board.

To SUP or Kayak?
I am equally happy on a board or in a boat, so how do I choose? For spring runs or anytime I want to swim, I usually choose the board. To me, it’s just an excuse to jump in the water and swim, then climb back on. I love it for spring-hopping on the Santa Fe and the Suwannee rivers. For longer paddles, especially where the water might be choppy, I generally choose a kayak. While I can easily keep up with rec boats on my ULI board, I can’t keep up with longer sea kayaks. On Paddle Florida’s December 2015 trip on the St Johns River, the high winds and rough waters made my decision easy. I was comfortable in my 17′ kayak—paddling a SUP against those winds would have been miserable. I battled 20 mph headwinds on the Ocklawaha River earlier this week, and I think that might have been my limit.

The wind-free Cannon spring run

What’s Next?
In the nine years I have lived in Florida, I have paddled all over Florida, on my own and with groups like Paddle Florida. My husband Kevin is an avid paddler, and we have explored and camped in the Keys and the 10,000 Islands and are eager to explore more of our state. I would like to try camping from a paddleboard and am looking at longer, solid boards that will carry my gear. So, you might see me on my new, longer board on the Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Trail in the next few years.

UK Chancellor Announces Ability for Over-60s to Boost State Pension Income

The Chancellor announced in the 2013 Autumn Statement that current pensioners, and those who will reach the State Pension age before April 2016, will be able to top up their Additional State Pension through a new class of voluntary National Insurance contributions.

For those who have struggled to build up their full entitlement to the State Pension, even if they are already in retirement, this will be welcome news. Currently pensioners need 30 years of National Insurance contributions to obtain the full basic pension of £110.15 per week. Under these new plans it has been reported that someone who reaches State Pension age by 2016 could pay around £700 in return for an extra £190 a year pension for life. While people can currently buy extra National Insurance credits, this new scheme will operate separately. The scheme will be introduced in October 2015 and will be time limited. Other important announcements regarding UK pensions in the Autumn Statement include:

  • Increase in State Pension age: The State Pension age will be reviewed every Parliament with the principle that people should expect to spend on average up to one third of their adult life in receipt of the State Pension. This means that the increase in State Pension age to 68 is likely to be brought forward from 2046 to the mid 2030s and is likely to increase further to 69 by the late 2040s. As a result, people in their forties will not receive a State Pension until they are 69.
  • Increase in basic State Pension: Basic State Pension will be increased by £2.95 per week, making the weekly pension £113.10 for the full basic State Pension.
  • Overseas pensioners: To address fraud and error, more regular contact will be made with pensioners living abroad to reduce overpayments in the State Pension system when a death goes unreported.
  • Drawdown: Following a review by the Government Actuaries Department (GAD) in 2013 regarding income drawdown tables (which are used to determine capped drawdown limits for pensions like Self Invested Personal Pensions) the government confirmed it will not change the basis upon which GAD tables are formulated.

Bunches & Bunches

We were pretty much won over when we learned that the maven behind Bunches & Bunches is named Tamalpais Star Roth-McCormick (she goes by “Pai”). Then we tasted her treats, and we were really sold. She started working in food when she was 13, at an Italian restaurant, and knew right then and there that she wanted to become a chef. After years of studying culinary arts and working in the industry, she landed in Portland and started churning out her delicious goods at Bunches & Bunches.

“Tomorrow is another day”

so often we do blithely say.

But on that day, what will we be?

Will we still alive; still be free?

But in the end should we even care,

we’ll find out if we make it there.

Tomorrow is another day

and karmically it’s when we pay

for the deeds from now long past;

we’ll reap the fruit of seeds we’ve cast

upon the soil that is our life

where weeds and thorns are often rife.

But down among the mess we see

there is the truth that sets us free.

For oft it’s among the sharpest thorn

that the sweetest fruit is born.

There is no garden without growth;

of grime and beauty there is both.

There’s life and death, growth and decay;

the spectrum wide of Gaia’s play.

I look upon this wicked soul

and wonder “How can it be whole.”

But somewhere deep inside I see

there’s beauty striving to be free.

perler beads + friends: a crafting party!

Instax - March 2016 2 Instax - March 2016 6 Instax - March 2016 1  Instax - March 2016 Instax - March 2016 7

by that title, i either sound like a mom or a 7 year old, haha. that’s ok, i like doing kid stuff. those who are kids at heart are the funnest people, am i right? ;p kidding. but yes, as you can see from my photos, my a-little-over-20-yr-old good friends, boyfriend, and i gathered last weekend to have a crafting party! more specifically, a perler bead crafting party.

perler beads are basically these beads that you put in a plastic board, and you arrange them in a certain manner (to form any character or thing of your liking), you pass an iron over them, they melt, and ta-da! you have a perler bead creation!

Instax - March 2016 5

my sisters told me these were all the rage years ago and that I’m late in the trend. but i don’t care. they’re fun to make. i would see these all the time in comic con conventions: zelda, star wars, pokemon, super heroes – you name it! the first ones i bought were groot and rocket from guardians of the galaxy (love that movie!).

while in mexico city, david and i stumbled upon this store that sold everything you needed to make them for a really cheap price. we bought 3 sets and made pokemons, ghosts from mario games, and hamtaro. when i showed my friend esteban he was like “WHAT ARE THOSE? THEY LOOK AWESOME!” So we decided to go to walmart, buy beads, then get together at his house and crafted for HOURS. pizza and wings were our fuel for staying up till like 4 or 5 in the morning doing these. afterwards we slept like babies in his couch. then again in the morning we beaded some more!

Instax - March 2016 10

esteban and dd now send me photos of items they have created on their own with captions like, “you’ve created a monster!!” haha.

oh, how i love my friends. i’ll take staying up till those hours of the night in someone’s house, making characters from our childhood than at some loud club, drinking. nerdy things like these are what makes us happy and unite us. <3

how do you spend weekends with your friends? would you give perler beads a try? did you see the cat photo up on top? did you know he’s a famous internet cat?! :o

alright friends, thanks for stopping by. have a very nice day! :)

Default High fructose to blame for obesity/income connection?

It is well known that poorer Americans are more likely to be obese or suffer from diabetes; there is a strong negative correlation between household income and both obesity and diabetes. This negative correlation, however, has only developed in the past 30 years, according to researchers in Tennessee and London. Since 1990, the rise of obesity and diabetes was fastest among the poorest U.S. regions, says Alexander Bentley of the University of Tennessee in the US. The timing also fits with the generations exposed to high fructose corn syrup in foodstuffs and drinks, says Bentley, who is the lead author of a study in the journal Palgrave Communications, which is published by Springer Nature.

Experts describe the unprecedented rise in obesity in recent history as the most rapid change ever seen in human physiology. Only a century ago, obesity was a phenomenon almost unknown to citizens of the US and other developed countries.

In this study, Bentley and his colleagues analyzed data made available by the Centre of Disease Control and Prevention about obesity levels, leisure activities, income rates and incidence of diabetes. In most cases, this data was compiled for around 3000 US counties. The researchers also drew on data collected by the Food Access Research Atlas project. These documented a person's access to vehicles and proximity to supermarkets and large grocery stores where they could buy affordable and nutritious food.

The analysis shows that in 1990, when population-scale obesity rates in the US were about a third of what they are today, there was no link between income and obesity or diabetes. By 2015, there was a strong likelihood that obesity or diabetes would be typical in lower income households. In states like Alabama, Mississippi and West Virginia, where the average household income was below 45,000 US dollars a year, 35 per cent of people were obese. In more affluent states such as Colorado, Massachusetts or California, where households earned on average 65,000 US dollars a year, one in four citizens was obese.

"The data point to a developing trend that was not present in 1990. This negative correlation has evolved steadily over recent decades," explains Bentley. "By 2015 the situation was such that members of lower income households had a much greater chance of suffering from obesity and diabetes."

Bentley and his colleagues speculate that the oversupply and ready access to foodstuffs containing high fructose corn syrup may be driving obesity levels. In the past, people's diets contained very little sugar and no refined carbohydrates. Overall sugar consumption in the American diet has risen gradually in the 20th century, from 12 per cent of US food energy in 1909 to 19 per cent by the year 2000.

"The timing is suggestive, with the generations of young Americans consuming high fructose corn syrup in foodstuffs predicting a similar increase in obesity as they became adults," Bentley notes.

High fructose corn syrup has been used in US foodstuffs since 1970. By the year 2000, each person in the US consumed on average around 27 kilograms (60 pounds) of it per year, which is about half of their annual total sugar intake. Corn syrup is the main sweetener in soft drinks. In 2016 the average US household spent 7 per cent and low income households spent 9 per of their income on soft drinks.

That last sentence is wrong--that isn't percent of income, it's percent of food spending.

This article reports spending on sugary beverages more correctly. Or at least more believably, I haven't bothered to peel past this layer of the onion.

Regarding the obesity level and income, I see this all the time. There is a weekly free dinner at a local church and I have perused the occupents and the majority BY FAR is obese, then extremely thin, only a few lean and trim or slightly overweight.

The meal starts with butter and white bread, a decent meal, and finishes with a p astry or cake.

When I am at the food banks, the food is canned or a grain product. Lots of breads and pasta. Meats and frozen vegies are less than 10% of the options. rarely fresh vegies.

They think they are being wonderful when offering a bag of donuts, or bagels.

When I go with a friend, she picks out all the overprocessed foods and sodas. When I point out the soda she picked up, or buys en-route, she says' Im hungry' I havent eatedn today. " Geez...... fasting!! would work wonders for her. She cannot hear me when I preach the good foods. Ya, I have had to step back-- she is not ready for the "ah-ha" moment.

I was a volunteer at a non-profit that fed the homeless in Washington DC a few years back. It was in the colder months, and we served breakfast where I manned the drinks: coffee, tea, tang and other nondescript unhealthy stuff. We set it all up for people to come in and grab their beverage of choice and "flavor" it to their liking with sugar and fake dairy. The sugar dispensers were the glass containers with the silver tops that you see in diners with the big hole on the top. I was amazed at how much sugar people used. Not just one or two people, but all poured massive quantities of sugar in their coffees and teas and some added it to tang. Someone mentioned that they needed to fuel up to stay warm. This was favored over the fake scrambled eggs and other questionable "food" that was served. While that was popular, the line for the beverages was long and constant with multiple returns for more. Sad, but a reality.

I notice "leet" amounts and PI donated :P
Also, I think that "notch" is the minecraft guy.

$1,273,613 was their last total, so they will beat it easily at this rate.

Chanel sale

Thread Status:
Not open for further replies.
  1. So i was at Neiman Marcus in atl yesterday and the chanel SA told me that chanel has sale sometime in december. Can u please tell me if thats true?
  2. I was just thinking about when their sale starts too I think it is in December.
  3. I think that in the past Chanel-NM had also sales in November. They are going to have the Neiman Marcus INCIRCLE with gift card this month. Not sure if it applies to Chanel as some exclusions apply.
  4. Do Chanel sales occur in December at their boutiques or other locations in other department stores?
  5. NM does mark down bags between Nov-Dec for certain "fashion" bags, as they call it. Permanent collection will not be marked down. For my experience, Chanel boutiques rarely mark down bags, but I've seen them mark down lots and lots of RTW!
  6. I seem to recall that the NM-Chanel sale was in late November, but that time of the year has such great sales that I may be wrong. :blush:

    I've not been really impressed with the sales bags in the past. Classics NEVER go on sale! :shucks:
  7. My chanel store SA said they have a holiday sale before Christmas. And no the flaps don't go on sale. It's mostly clothes and shoes. My SA is going to try to reserve ballet flats for me if she sees my size :smile:
  8. my SA says its only RTW and the shoes
  9. Hi!
    This is asked pretty often in our Chanel Shopping forum, please search there :tup:

    I will say that typically, seasonal items that are not as popular or are unsold will go on sale in June and December.

LV jewellrey...I wish...

  1. They made simple leather casual bracelets for those casual days.
    I just purchased a lovely Coach one ( and I am not even a fan of Coach) that I wear quite a lot.
    Like an all vachetta or all dark chocolate color leather bracelet with a simple LV embossed on the end.
    I know Hermes has a similar style that is adorable imo. I wear mine layered with my Pandoras and I love the chic look.

  2. They have quite a few leather ones but they are treated leathers for the most part. I wish I hadn't missed out on the suhali double tour bracelet :sad:
  3. Yes I had a look today when I was there. I don't like any of their jewellrey line unfortunately. It looks kind of cheap imo. I just don't want to have my body splashed in LV, kwim? Something understated that doesn't scream LV.
    Yoogis has or had ( haven't checked in a few days) a simple brown Hermes leather bracelet that I really like.
  4. Just checked the web site and they DO have what I'm looking for!! It's called the 'Stamp it Bracelet'.
    Now why didn't I see this in the boutique??? Is it only available online??

    Anyone have one of these beauties??
  5. For leather bracelets hermes is one of the best most of them have no writing on them its just great quality leather with a mini belt buckle. I really like those ones. As for actual LV jewelry it strikes me as odd that it is more expensive then Cartier / VCA for similar styles.
  6. Its quite recent so it probably is just making its way into boutiques.
  7. Good to know. :smile:. It's sold out online :sad:
  8. Have you looked into the brass and stingray leather ones? They are quite interesting.

Tiffany & Co. cleaning ?

  1. I searched for a thread like this quickly but couldn't find what I needed.

    I am going to a mall on Saturday that has a Tiffany's. I've only ever received Tiffany's as a gift, so I've never been to a store. I have 3 necklaces. I want to bring 2 of them to get cleaned. Will they clean them for free?
  2. If they are silver, there will be a charge of $15. If they are gold or platinum, the cleaning is for free.
  3. Thank you AntiqueShopper!

Use this thread to talk about your day, catch up with friends, have some minor discussions, or muse about life. If you have a hot topic you want to discuss, please start a new topic.

  2. I just learned that the bassist for Weezer predicted how, when and where he would die two weeks before he did. Weird.
  3. So there was a massive list of passwords and emails has been found online. Some 2.7 billion email/password combos have been found, including 773 million unique emails. You can check to see if your email was a part of the list here. If it was - or heck, even if it wasn’t, it might be time to go changing all your passwords. And while you’re at it, set up a password manager so you have unique passwords everywhere, and multifactor authentication on anything important.
  4. Jaguars hire John DeFilippo as OC

    I think we only dodged that bullet because he had to fire Hackett midseason and we already saw that his favorite option on the staff already was worse than what he had fired. Sadly, even after this front office and coaching staff is purged, I see more of the same coming. This is really a problem that starts at the top. Shad Khan is a great guy, who has wonderful visions for the city and business side of the team. But he just doesn’t get the football side at all. He doesn’t get it, and he tries so hard to behave the way that other bad owners do that he had taken them in the complete opposite direction. He doesn’t want to be the bad things Jerry Jones is, and has seen how how his own influence of just saying something he might be interested in can completely influence a front office into doing stupid crap that he doesn’t even step in when things are clearly being done poorly. He doesn’t want to be one of those owners that just cycle coaches just to do it, and wants to build an understanding that he’ll give time to make things right the way the Steelers or other storied franchises will. But in doing so, he lets guys well overstay their welcome and time for change. As much as he’s trying to do it the *right way* he just doesn’t get it. And I don’t think that’s going to change. We’ll have another Marrone or another Gus Bradley once he decides he’s given enough time to this bad group.
  5. Jaguars hire John DeFilippo as OC

    It’s all nepotism. When Marrone became Head Coach, he made sure his two (according to him) best friends were the two coordinators. They fired arguably the greatest WR coach in NFL history and replaced him with someone who was so bad that he had multiple multi-year hiatuses from coaching and couldn’t even make it coaching at Maryland simply because he was a friend of Coughlin. Then they filled the rest of their staff with friends of Marrone and Coughlin. Then this time it was more of the same. Marrone had a press conference yesterday where he admitted he was only interested in hiring his friends and friends of other high ups on the staff because *they’re the only ones you can trust*. In the same presser, he said the #1 thing that he was looking for in the candidates was that they actually wanted to coach for the team; inadvertently admitting what everyone already knew - no one wants to coach a team with a lame duck front office and head coach, no QB, bad receivers, half an OL to install, no depth and a 3.7YPC RB in the middle of a labor dispute with the team. So that’s how you end up here. Be a coach about to be fired and only look to see which of your friends can’t find a better opportunity than to go down with you.
  6. All Things Wrestling Thread

    Add Ziggler to the list that asked for a release.
  7. All Things Wrestling Thread

    Also apparently Vince is telling some of the top independent wrestlers that he’ll match any offer they bring to him, and in some cases double it, if they sign with WWE on the spot.
  8. Jaguars hire John DeFilippo as OC

    He used to be an assistant RB coach. Before I was alive. Over 30 years ago. I’m totally sure that will work out splendidly. So will hiring one of the worst OL coaches in the league. But Doug said he only wanted to hire people he’s friends with, so nepotism was always more important than talent.

  11. The gf and I got like 5 free meals from HelloFresh. They were pretty good, but certainly not worth the cost. Just find some good recipes, get the ingredients and cook them. I use Serious Eats (and Kenji’s cookbook/concepts from the site) for at least half of the dinners I make.
  12. Hey everyone, hope everyone made it here just fine. Please check in so I know you're still here. Link to FleaFlicker league page What is a Dynasty League? - A Keeper league with some tweaks. However, rather than only keeping a few players, you keep a large portion of your roster. Rather than relying on a redraft every year, a Dynasty team's success is built upon your ability to draft incoming players, play the waiver wire, make trades (including trading draft picks), as well as find and retain developmental players who will be successful in future years. The Dynasty League is as close to running an actual Franchise as you will find within a Fantasy Football setting. League Rules FleaFlicker's standard scoring - basic+TDs+yardage bonuses 20 player rosters + 1IR + 1TAXI Roster size 10 starters + 10 bench (20 total) 1 Starting QB (Min:1, Max: 4) 2 Starting RBs (Min:2, Max: 7) 2 Starting WRs (Min:2, Max: 7) 2 Starting Flex (RB/WR/TE) - This may be amended 1 Starting TEs (Min:1, Max: 4) 1 Starting Defense/Special Teams (Min:1, Max: 3) 1 Starting K (Min:1, Max: 3) Additional roster slots: 1 IR (player must be on Injured Reserve) 1 TAXI (first or second year player who has not started a game in this league) I cannot set the TAXI spot to actively follow this rule. Please behave within the spirit of the rule. If I see a clear violation, I will probably PM you and have you fix the mistake. However, I reserve the right to cut the player from your roster entirely without warning if I find the usage to be egregious. Keeper rules Entire rosters are automatically kept from season to season. There is no need to set these on FleaFlicker unless you're using them for your own reasons. From time to time, the number of keepers listed in FleaFlicker may be different numbers. The number of keepers listed on FleaFlicker are never to be viewed as the rule of the league. These are occasionally changed to facilitate the performing of commissioner actions or tracking draft order. Draft Rules Every year, a draft is ran in a thread on Football's Future. The draft is 5 rounds and only 5 rounds. Dropping players does not give you more rounds of draft picks despite what you may see on FleaFlicker. Generally, the draft will not have time slots unless absolutely necessary. I know people get antsy when the draft doesn't move for a day or so, but just deal with it. You will need to cut players to be able to sign your draft picks if you are at roster limits Players who are drafted must be placed on team roster by a deadline given each year. This will usually be the start of week 1 or potentially week 2. Please refer to my annual message on the topic. After the draft concludes, any players not on a roster or not drafted may be signed at 12am eastern the following day. Trade rules FleaFlicker facilitates the trading of draft picks, and as such they may be traded. As the draft is only 5 rounds, picks traded after the 5th round are not valid. Draft picks may only be traded up to two seasons in the future. e.g. During the 2017 season, you may trade draft picks from the 2018 or 2019 draft. Once a new draft thread is posted, the next draft becomes available. FleaFlicker allows for trades with more than 2 owners. Feel free to use this ability. As a general rule, if owners agree to a trade, I will not step in to override I unless there has been a clear violation of the spirit of the game or competitive integrity is compromised. Attempting the classic bait trades of like named players will be vetoed or reversed. Don't try to pass off former Washington TE Alex Smith for current Washington QB Alex Smith, or former Bear Adrian Peterson for famed Viking Adrian Peterson. Trading the 2003 version of LaDainian Tomlinson for a 7th round pick in 5 years would be vetoed Misc Every year, each owner will need to show their intent to return for the following season. This will need to be performed in June annually. Each owner will be tagged and given adequate opportunity to make their intent known. If an owner doesn't reply, they may be replaced. I reserve the right to remove owners who have been permabanned from Football's Future, even if they complete all roster actions via FleaFlicker or email. If you piss me off, I may remove you from the league as well. Probably not, but I reserve the right to do so. Owners who do dumb things may be given a mulligan and opportunity to fix the mistake. Not everyone has played a Dynasty League before, and some may not read or know all the rules before they do new things. If an owner forgets to sign a player they clearly intended to sign, I may make the appropriate cuts and signing for them. Don't rely on me to do so. I may just let the player become a free agent so I can sign them. If you'd like a rule changed, amended or feature added, bring it up. Ultimately, I have the last say in any changes, but I do want the process to be largely democratic.

  13. 2018 MLB Hot Stove Thread

    I don’t disagree. But when there’s three different claims on what the White Sox offered; between this 7 year, $150M deal, the reported 8 year deal, and the other 7 year deal that’s in excess of $200M, I’d tend to believe the agent that the info is false.
  14. I figured you were. But any time I can throw a joke at that clown, it’s fun to do so. I hope the Sandy Hook thing completely bankrupts him and ruins his life. Those families deserve everything they can get from him for how much pain he and his followers choose to continue to inflict on them.
  15. You know it’s a good source because the guy who runs the website had to tell a judge that wants to take his kids away that nothing he says is truely what he believes.
  16. Infowars conspiracy theory is the occasion. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-65000-hot-dogs/
  17. Man, to complain that everyone gets triggered too easily and then get triggered over some jokes about McDonalds.

    MLB is using reporters to make public perception turn on the players.

So in my English class we recently did memoirs and i think they are pretty cool.

So in case you don't know memoirs are a 6 worded story. it can be a statement, something happy, or something sad. a couple that i remember are:

"baby shoes for sale, never worn"

"i never got my Hogwarts letter"

so i figured i would make a topic where people can post some. (ps neither of those above are mine!)

HP Touchpad

Recommended Posts

I managed to snag the last one in my area. 10" touch screen, 1.2 Ghz processor, 1 Gig system memory, 32 Gig storage memory, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. They came on the market on July 1, for $499. Nobody bought them because they only had 300 apps and the IPad2 was the same price, with 9,000 available apps. On August 20, HP told the vendors to drop the price to $99 for the 16 Gig model and $149 for the 32 Gig. For a buck fitty........I don't give a rat's butt how many apps are available.

Looks especially cool at that price.

It's supposed to be quite a bit slower than an iPad2 but, again, at that price, who cares?

In the UK, prices were slashed on 22 August to equal the USA prices (£89.00 for the 16GB, from £399 and £115 for the 32GB, from £479) and apparently sold out in less than an hour -- long before I even knew about the reduction.

Those original prices are were the exact same price as the iPad 2 WiFi 16GB & 32GB currently sells for at the London Apple store. I'm not surprised that they didn't sell many at that price.

Make Your RV Trip Comfortable With Propane

If you’re a recreational vehicle fan, you may have heard about the different ways propane can make your RV a more comfortable and enjoyable place to spend time. Many devices can be purchased or converted to run on propane for your convenience. From your cooktop to your refrigerator to your heater, propane is becoming the standard fuel in RVs across America.

If comfort, safety, ease of use and value are all important factors for you when you hit the road in your RV, propane offers a variety of advantages that can make your trip more memorable.

Managing Your Power, Heating and Cooling Needs

Today’s RV enthusiasts often take advantage of the excellent quality of their vehicles to enjoy the RV lifestyle all year round. Depending on where you live, you’ll have different heating and cooling needs. You can consider an RV propane conversion for:

  • Generators — a propane generator is an economical way to provide electricity when you’re away from an electrical connection. Converting your existing generator to propane is a relatively simple process.
  • Heating — a propane heater uses no electricity, which is a big advantage for many RVers who are off the grid. Models designed for RV use include safety and ventilation features that give you peace of mind. Propane water heaters are also an efficient way to provide a reliable hot-water source.
  • Cooling — If you’re running a propane generator, you can benefit from that economical source of power to run a small air conditioning unit and enjoy cool air when the thermometer climbs.

With your RV propane tanks filled, you can fire up your generator and enjoy a truly comfortable RV experience with all the comforts of home. And when you want to get out and enjoy some scenery, you can venture out of your RV with confidence — a modern RV propane installation includes all of the security and safety features you need to keep your investment safe.

The Benefits of Propane in the Kitchen

Just because you’re out on the road doesn’t mean you have to eat canned food every day! With an RV propane conversion in your kitchen, you can benefit even further from the propane. Many RV-specific propane cooktops and propane refrigerators are available that allow you to save your electricity when you’re far away from a power cord. No matter what device you have that uses propane, you can always enjoy its advantages:

  • Propane bottles and tanks are easy to install.
  • Propane is readily available all over the United States.
  • Propane is more affordable than gas.
  • Propane eliminates the risk of spillage and evaporation associated with gas.
  • Propane never goes bad, unlike gas, and can be stored indefinitely.

All new propane devices and installations require a safety overflow valve. They also require mandatory propane leak detection sensors, which means you can be safe and sound in your propane-equipped RV.

Propane and RVs: The Best Combination

The reliability, safety and comfort offered by an RV propane conversion or installation is perfect for RV enthusiasts who want to travel comfortably. When you’re out on the open road and find the perfect location away from it all, you’ll be happy knowing that a few creature comforts are available at your fingertips.

After a comfortable night’s sleep, warm shower and a hearty breakfast, you’ll be ready to get out and enjoy the sights and sounds!

If you’re interested in a propane conversion for your RV, contact Foster Fuels today to learn how to get started.

Club Penguin Halloween Stamps!

For this year’s Halloween Party 2011, Club Penguin has a new stamp: Trick or Treat stamp! It’s easy! Simply visit at least 10 igloos of the new Trick or Treat igloo (the new igloo of a street with 3 igloos).

Tip: Try to log in popular servers (with 4 or 5 bars) there you will be more likely to see open igloos on map.

Also, only a few have noticed the once-members-only Halloween stamp released last year’s Halloween Party now seems to be also for non-members! I earned this stamp by wearing pirates items from Rockhopper and the Ghost Sheet! Try it out yourself and try different clothings and tell us what you wore to earn the stamp at the comments below!

Waddle On!

Iran | Freedom House

Freedom of the Press

Freedom of the Press 2005

2005 Scores

Press Status

Not Free

Press Freedom Score
(0 = best, 100 = worst)

Political Environment
(0 = best, 40 = worst)

Economic Environment
(0 = best, 30 = worst)

Press freedom in Iran deteriorated further in 2004. The regime's crackdown on reformist publications and journalists continued, with this year's arrests, detentions, harassments, and closings focused increasingly on Internet-based media. While the constitution provides for press freedom except when published ideas are "contrary to Islamic principles or are detrimental to public rights," in practice the government severely restricts this right. The 2000 press law established a Press Supervisory Board mandated to ban publications that defame Islam or the Supreme Leader, damage "the foundation of the Islamic Republic" or national security, publish libel against "lawfully respected" officials or institutions, or quote articles from "the deviant press, parties, and groups which oppose Islam." The penal code assigns punishments of harsh prison terms, exorbitant fines, floggings, and even the death penalty for violating such vaguely worded laws. As a result, self-censorship is common. Iran's subservient judiciary frequently denies accused journalists due process by referring their cases to closed-door revolutionary courts, and the Preventive Restraint Act is used regularly to temporarily ban publications without legal proceedings. Since 2000, over 100 newspapers have been banned and more than 50 journalists have been detained-14 of whom remain in prison, according to Reporters sans frontieres.

Traditionally, independent print media in Iran are robust and critical of government policies despite this repressive environment; however, recent government crackdowns have dampened media vigor. Suppression of the media accelerated during the run-up to the February parliamentary elections, from which a large number of reformist candidates had been barred. Numerous newspapers and journalists were threatened for covering a sit-in by reformists in front of the parliament, and the reformist dailies Yas-e-No and Sharq were suspended temporarily for publishing parts of a letter from reformist politicians to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. After many Yas-e-No journalists began writing for the reformist daily Vaghayeh Ettefaghieh, it too was suspended in July, along with the daily Jomhouriat and the monthly Aftab. These developments prompted a sit-in by over 250 people outside the Association of Iranian Journalists in Tehran, as well as a one-day hunger strike by many journalists in August. During 2004, several reformist print journalists were arrested and/or sentenced because of their work; sentences included lengthy prison terms and harsh fines. Foreign journalists were also subject to harassment; New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof reported that Iranian secret police detained him in May in an effort to discover one of his antigovernment sources. In July, an intelligence officer was acquitted of the "semi-intentional murder" of Canadian-Iranian photographer Zahra Kazemi in 2003.

The government directly maintains a monopoly over all broadcast media, which presents only official political and religious viewpoints. While satellite dishes that receive foreign broadcasts are forbidden, an increasing number of Iranians own them. In recent years, many newspapers shuttered by the government have turned to the Internet as a freer medium. However, the government began systematically censoring Internet content in 2003, and 2004 saw a massive crackdown on Internet journalists, Web sites, and blogs. Close to parliamentary elections in February, an official draft Law on the Punishment of Crimes Linked to the Internet was published in the newspaper Iran. The law includes provisions for long prison sentences and large fines for offenses similar to those detailed in the press law and mandates strict monitoring requirements for cybercafes and Internet service providers on pain of banning and/or imprisonment. During the year, many Internet journalists were arrested and Web sites shut down; according to Human Rights Watch, in the last four months of the year, more than 20 such journalists were arrested and "held in a secret detention center in Tehran." Although most had been released by year's end, they continued to face harassment from the authorities. In a notable development in December, four Internet journalists who had been tortured while in detention were ordered by the chief prosecutor of Tehran to serve as witnesses in the trial of Association of Iranian Journalists president Ali Mazroi. Mazroi had accused the judiciary of torturing and secretly detaining journalists and was charged with libel shortly thereafter. Facing lengthy prison sentences if they did not comply, the four "witnesses" appeared at the trial on the same day they were coerced to deny, on Iranian state television, that they had been subjected to solitary confinement, torture, and ill-treatment during their detentions.

Day 14/18 #TonyAwards2016 Best Play

As the @TonyAwards approach, I thought #Frontmezzjunkies should repost all the reviews of all the main best plays/musicals/revivals in all four categories and list their nominations. So here it goes.
Day 14 of 18
King Charles III
Up for 5 #TonyAwards
Best Play – #MikeBartlett
Best Leading Actor- #TimPigottSmith
Best Featured Actor – #RichardGoulding
Best Costume Design – #TomScutt
Best Direction – #RupertGoold
also up for
3 @Drama Desk Award nominations
1 @Drama League Award nomination
3 @Outer Critics Circle Award nominations
Here’s what I had to say about it back in the fall:

The Queen is Dead, Long Live King Charles III

When the house lights dimmed, I wondered, which direction is this play going to go. I knew the concept was an alternate universe scenario; a set up that the Queen of England, my Queen (I’m Canadian), the ever-lasting Queen Elizabeth, has died. And Prince Charles (Tim Pigott-Smith), who has had a lifetime of hanging around the edges, is now the King. Here is where Mike Bartlett’s play, King Charles III begins, dramatically with candles and a choral requiem.  But the question remains, where are they planning on taking this?  All the real life characters are there: Camilla (Margot Leicester), William (Oliver Chris), Harry (Richard Goulding), and Kate (Lydia Wilson), all perfectly cast, looking the part, and setting the scene, along with various politicians, Londoners, and palace employees. And the question that remained for the first few scenes, was, “Is this going to be funny? Or serious?”…. for full review, click the link below:

Dental Treatment Coordinator Training Course Outline

Watch a Free Training Course Below

Treatment Coordinator Course Training Video: Asking the patient to pay.

As the liason between the patient and the dentist, a dental Treatment Coordinator is a high profile position. In this role, you work closely with the doctor to ensure that the dental patient understands the treatment itself and why it is needed. Organization, exceptional communication skills, a positive attitude, consistent follow-through and the ability to multi-task are keys to your success as a Dental Treatment Coordinator. Your priority is to assist the doctor in getting patients to understand and accept the recommended treatment and subsequently coordinate the treatment plan to work for both the patient and the dental office.

The treatment coordinator training videos in this series will address each of your front office responsibilities while you help the patient navigate their concerns, such as insurance, payment, or scheduling conflicts, as they make the decision to move forward with the work that will keep them healthy. In addition, we will look closely at the responsibility that comes with being the face of the office to the patient, the confidence you must have and the extensive knowledge of office policies and procedures that is required to do your job well while prioritizing the patient’s health.

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 7 2700X spotted in Geekbench

by on15 March 2018

Higher-clock and higher scores

Both the upcoming Ryzen 5 2600X and the Ryzen 7 2700X have been spotted in the Geekbench database, revealing most of the details about these two upcoming Ryzen 2000 series CPUs based on 12nm Zen+ CPU architecture.

There were plenty of performance leaks for these two chips earlier, but the latest one puts all the specifications at the same place as well as giving a clear picture on the actual clocks of these two upcoming SKUs and their performance.

As detailed earlier, the Ryzen 7 2700X is an eight-core SKU with sixteen-threads, 16MB of L3 cache, 95W TDP and works at 3.7GHz base clock and 4.35GHz Turbo clock. Due to its higher base and turbo clocks, both the single- and multi-core performance in Geekbench has been boosted to 4736 and 25195, respectively.

amd ryzen2600xgb 1

In the test, the CPU runs on Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherboard with 16GB of memory running at 2,200MHz. Unfortunately, it is still  unclear if the new XFR will further boost the CPU clock, so another 100MHz higher could be possible as well.

The Ryzen 5 2600X could be even more popular due to its lower price and lower 65W TDP. This six-core/twelve-thread SKU comes with 12MB of L3 cache and works at 3.6GHz base and 4.25GHz Turbo clock.

As you can see from the screenshot below, it was running on Asus Prime X370-Pro motherboard with 16GB of 1600MHz clocked memory and managed to score 4781 in single- and 22235 in multi-core Geekbench test. As you can see, the single-core score is higher than on the Ryzen 7 2700X, so we assume that the tested CPU was further overclocked or the new XFR is doing a great job with the boost.

amd ryzen2700xgb 1

These clocks line up with the earlier leak which suggested that these Ryzen 2000 Pinnacle Ridge CPUs will most likely launch on April 19th, together with AMD's new X470-based motherboards. The leaked price for the Ryzen 7 2700X was set at $369 while the Ryzen 5 2600X should launch at $249, making it a good alternative to the popular Core i5-8600K.

Nichushkin dominates 5-Nations

Dan Stewart2013 Draft Center, Tournaments & EventsLeave a Comment

Here we are in mid-February and most of the big annual showcase events/tournaments for draft eligible have come and gone.

With only the U18 World Championships in Sochi, Russia from April 18-28 remaining, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to evaluate some of the 2013 NHL Draft’s best.

Making the U18 5-Nations Cup in Jonkoping, Sweden in early February that much more notable.

Future Considerations had Josh Deitell and Roman Solovyev in attendance and while they have not officially filed their reports from the event there were some news that filtered out of the event.

Big Valeri Nichushkin, who scored the bronze medal-winning goal against the Canadians at the World Junior Championship, was the story of this event as he led his Russians to the top spot with a dominant effort.

“Interesting and unbelievable things happen here like one NHL scout said ‘the Red Machine is back’,” Solovyev said. “Nichushkin is on fire here. He is the best player (in attendance).”

It is not that Nichushkin was just good but he was dominant as he scored seemingly at will against strong competition and finished the event with five goals and six assists for eleven points in four contests.

“He got a chance to be ‘the guy’ at 5-Nations after mostly (supporting) at the World Juniors and relished it,” Deitell said. “Man amongst boys.”

Nichushkin, on the right side, paired up with fellow draft eligible winger Pavel Buchnevich, on the left side to form a dynamic duo as the latter also put up some nice offensive numbers with seven points in four contests.

Buchnevich is a skilled puck handler who has the ability to change the outcome of a game with one strong shift.

Russia as a team was physical and completely dominant in stretches.

Sweden’s Jacob de la Rose was another strong performer at the 5-Nations as he contributed a couple goals and a point-per-game in Sweden’s second place finish.

“(He’s a) really strong 2-way player,” Deitell noted. “High energy. Very physical. Strong skater. Only issue I have is he’s a little too simple offensively.”

After being inconsistent and lacking in intensity most of the season for the NTDP U18’s, big winger Hudson Fasching finally came to play in the last contest of this event. It is games like these that make NHL teams and other scouting services like Future Considerations keep the underperforming prospect on their lists.

Female ICT mentors needed

A recent report has shown that there is a growing need for female involvement in the ICT SME sector, and while working towards this goal there is also a necessity to offer mentorship.

A report on Women-Driven Entrepreneurship within the ICT sector reveals that gender relevant issues were of great concern to female entrepreneurs. While SMME and entrepreneurship within the ICT space is on the radar of government and the private sector’s developmental agenda, female-focussed mentorship and development is much needed.

Tashline Jooste, CEO at the Innovator Trust, an enterprise development organisation which focusses on accelerating black female owned ICT SMMEs, says that in order to address the concerns of women in ICT, there is a significant necessity for collaboration and alignment among women. “An ideal solution to this can be found in the incorporation of mentorship initiatives, targeted specifically at female entrepreneurs and business owners,” she explains. “With dedicated mentors involved, an SMME is more likely to succeed in the long term.”

The growth and success of many female-owned SMMEs can sometimes become stagnated due to various challenges and hurdles which may impact a business’s sustainability. Some hindrances are attributed to a lack of support and mentorship from fellow female entrepreneurs in the ICT space.

“Mentorship for female entrepreneurs is a critical piece of the puzzle for a well-functioning business,” says Jooste. “There is a serious need for female mentors in the ICT arena to offer support and guidance from a common ground perspective. Having a mentor who is empathetic and mutually understanding to female-specific scenarios in the workplace assists in creating motivated and committed female entrepreneurs who prosper and thrive in the ICT sector,” says Jooste.

Female mentorship offers various benefits to a new female entrepreneur such as compelling leadership, as well as support and encouragement with coping in a male dominated industry. Jooste says, “This requires the ongoing training and honing of skills and business processes, through constant guidance by the mentor. The process will provide the mentee with a library of methods and strategies that they will be able to draw on throughout their business career.”

According to Jooste, already successful female business leaders need to be encouraged to ‘pay it forward’ and get involved with supporting new female entrepreneurs. “By imparting knowledge and lessons learnt through experience to new females joining the industry, we can help ensure there are strong and innovative female entrepreneurs, adding to the foundation for a competitive economy,” concludes Jooste.

Fortnite fixes hackers’ hole

Epic Games has repaired a vulnerability that exposed Fortnite, the world’s most popular game of the moment, to hackers. The hole, which was left in Epic’s web infrastructure,  allowed hackers to target players with email that appeared to come from Epic Games, but would have led them to a phishing site, where their log-in details would have been stolen.

Researchers at cyber security solutions provider Check Point Software alerted Epic to vulnerabilities that could have affected any player of the hugely popular online battle game.

Fortnite has nearly 80 million players worldwide. The game is popular on all gaming platforms, including Android, iOS, PC via Microsoft Windows and consoles such as Xbox One and PlayStation 4.  In addition to casual players, Fortnite is used by professional gamers who stream their sessions online, and is popular with e-sports enthusiasts.

If exploited, the vulnerability would have given an attacker full access to a user’s account and their personal information as well as enabling them to purchase virtual in-game currency using the victim’s payment card details. The vulnerability would also have allowed for a massive invasion of privacy, as an attacker could listen to in-game chatter as well as surrounding sounds and conversations within the victim’s home or other location of play.

While Fortnite players had previously been targeted by scams that deceived them into logging into fake websites that promised to generate Fortnite’s ‘V-Buck’ in-game currency, these new vulnerabilities could have been exploited without the player handing over any login details.
