COVID-19 Update. We are here for you, shipping great food nationwide.
Pecan pie is the one of Southern cooking's best diplomats. It's hard to find folks who won't dig into a slice placed in front of them.
That said, there are good pecan pies and there are great ones. The better versions take care with the details. Real butter in the crust. Great brown sugar—ours is organic and natural, from Mauritius—for the filling. Loads of toasty pecans.
Our pie bakers stuff in so many pecans—whose flavor really comes forward when roasting while the pie bakes—that there's barely enough room to fit them in, let alone any of the caramelly brown-sugar custard. Zingerman's pecan pie has a warm, balanced flavor that's never too sweet.
"Consider this Southern Gal completely converted to your amazing, incredible, delectable, delicious Toasted Pecan Pie. Worth. Every. Penny. Worth. Every. Calorie. As God is my witness, let no other pecan pie pass my lips again!"

Shells plays an important role in Linux and Unix system. Everything that is happening on your distro is either because of the shell or the kernel. Moreover, a backend shell is initialized as soon as you made a login . There are lots of shells in the Unix and Linux system. Let's try to know more about them :
What is a shell ?
Shell is the software installed on your system that works as command-line interpreter i.e. it takes the commands you type, interpret them and gives them to operating system (kernel) through system calls to execute. There are many different shells available to choose from in Linux.
C Shell : C shell was created by Bill Joy, while he was studying at University of California, Berkeley. He released it under BSD license, the syntax of C shell is similar to C programming language hence the name C shell.
TC Shell: An improved version of C shell, provides some additional features like command line completion and editing. In most of Linux systems /bin/csh is linked to /bin/tcsh and it alternatives, so when you try to start the C shell, TC shell gets started.
Korn Shell (ksh): Korn shell was developed by David Korn at AT&T Bell Laboratories. It contains may features of C shell and Bourne shell.
Bourne Shell(sh): The default shell in many Unix systems developed by Stephen Bourne of AT&T Bell Laboratories.
GNU Bourne-Again Shell (bash): Bash shell is default shell in most of Linux distributions. Its a free and open source clone of bourne shell. It was developed by Brian Fox for the GNU project. Its the most feature rich shell available and is compatible with bourne shell.
To find out all the shells installed on your system type "$cat /etc/shells". Your default shell is defined /etc/passwd file.
To switch to a different shell on your system just type the name of that shell (as in /etc/shells) and hit enter.
Z Shell(zsh): Sorry I forgot to write about this shell (Don't Know How 😦 ). Thanks to all of you for reminding me. Well The Z shell (zsh) is a Unix shell that can be used as an interactive login shell and as a powerful command interpreter for shell scripting. Zsh can be thought of as an extended Bourne shell with a large number of improvements, including some features of bash, ksh, and tcsh. It includes features like automated spell correction, editing multiple line command within a single buffer and many more.
In the next part of the article we will learn about "How bash shell interprets a command". So Google about the shells more and more. If want to become a Linux administrator, then you must have a good control over the shells.
About Author : This post is written by Sumit Rai. He is second in command of this blog. Sumit loves to play with grub and spends most of his time in manipulating the hardware through shell. He is trying his hands on assembly languages also. You can contact him at email@example.com .

Insurance tips offered for small businesses
Lieutenant Governor and Department of Insurance Director Mary Taylor is sharing insurance advice with small business owners across Ohio to assist them in understanding their insurance coverage provisions as they recover from the recent severe weather that blanketed the state.
"The first step for business owners who suffered an interruption in service and damaged products and property is to get in touch with their insurance agent," Taylor said. "They will be able to assist in sorting out the particulars of the policy and help you get back on your feet."
Taylor added that if business owners incurred damage they should collect copies of receipts for equipment, furniture and other valuable items and photos of the property to share with their agent.
Taylor offered the following insurance information for small business owners impacted by recent severe weather:
Property Insurance
Property insurance typically covers for damage or theft of the physical property and equipment of the small business.
If you own the physical structure of your business address, your property insurance should cover both the structure and its other assets.
If you lease the space you occupy, you are likely responsible for insuring your personal property/contents. As a leaseholder, you should have a contingency plan in case your landlord or your landlord's insurer is not able to promptly repair the building where your business is located.
Business Interruption
Business interruption insurance covers lost earnings due to circumstances stated in the policy – such as weather or fire – that shut down a business for an extended period.
Certain events will trigger this insurance that generally covers expenses associated with running your business, such as payroll and utility bills, based on your company's financial records.
Benefits under this kind of coverage may not be payable for a certain number of days after the business interruption has occurred. Make sure you have sufficient funds to tide you over for that time.
The insurance may also help pay for the extra expenses to keep your business in operation until you recover.
Taylor also shared this information to assist business owners in preparing for potential future severe weather or natural disasters:
General Planning
Is your business ready for disaster?
Do you have an emergency response plan for employees and customers?
Do you have copies of important papers and information stored off site?
Does the information include: receipts, photos, insurance policies, contact details for your agent or company, employee roster, etc.?
These documents will assist you when you file a claim later.
Minimize your insurance risks by:
Installing fire and security alarms.
Planning and training employees for emergencies on the premises, such as fires and evacuations.
Having employees keep wallets and other personal items in a secure place. Keeping the business' cash and other valuables in a safe.
Keeping office space in good physical condition.
Review your insurance needs and your current policies:
Are your policies up-to-date with your insurance coverage needs and are the limits for each coverage at a level that protects your investment?
The Office of the Ohio Treasurer recently announced businesses that suffered damage can apply to obtain up to a three percent interest rate reduction on new or existing loans for construction or to improve cash flow through the Ohio Treasury's Renew Ohio & Rebuild Ohio emergency financing programs.

Taylor issues statewide directive to assist storm victims
Ohio residents affected by the recent severe weather are getting relief when it comes to deadlines for paying their insurance premiums.
Ohio Lieutenant Governor and Department of Insurance Director Mary Taylor issued a bulletin on Monday, July 2, 2012 to Ohio insurance companies asking them to be patient when receiving late insurance premium payments from those who are trying to recover.
"Thanks to cooperation from Ohio's insurance community, we are giving residents some additional relief so that they can focus on cleaning up and repairing their properties instead of worrying about a pending insurance premium payment," Taylor said.
This request to insurers derives from the Federal Emergency Declaration for the state due to storms that occurred on June 29, 2012 and is applicable to all Ohioans who have experienced a loss.
The bulletin, 2012-02, states that insurance companies are to give those who have been directly impacted by the storms 60 days from the date the premium was due to pay their premiums, interest free. The bulletin expires on September 30, 2012.
The full bulletin and a Severe Weather Recovery Toolkit, which includes information about how to safeguard your property, vehicle and possessions, tips on the claims filing process, FAQS about windstorm damage and insurance, and tips on protecting yourself from a deceitful contractor, are available on the Department's website, www.insurance.ohio.gov.
Columbus Zoo's new stars have stripes
Two Amur tiger cubs were born at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium on June 28 and 29. The first arrived at 10:41 p.m. and the second about four hours later. The newborn cubs, weighing just two to three pounds at birth, were initially monitored by the animal care team using a remote feed from a camera mounted in the den.
The team was already concerned about the health of the first cub which, despite nursing successfully shortly after the birth of the second cub, had not nursed for an extended period and appeared to be weakening when the Zoo lost power on the evening of June 29 due to a powerful storm. Since they were unable to monitor the activity in the den, the team made the decision to remove both cubs for hand rearing. The cubs are being raised together for companionship and socialization.
The cubs are currently in intensive care in the Zoo's Animal Health Center; their condition is not yet stable. It is unknown when Zoo visitors will be able to see them.
These cubs are the first for five-year-old female, Mara, and nine-year-old male, Foli. They are the first Amur tigers ever born at the Columbus Zoo; the last birth of any tiger subspecies at the Columbus Zoo occurred in 1990.
The pairing of Mara and Foli was recommended by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Species Survival Plan (SSP) for tigers. The AZA, of which the Columbus Zoo is an accredited member, strives to maintain a sustainable population of tigers in North America.
The tiger is the largest of all cat species. Native to Asia there are six living and three extinct subspecies of tiger. Currently there are fewer than 150 Amur tigers in 50 AZA institutions in North America. These tigers are considered pedigreed since they have a known ancestry and breeding recommendations to maintain genetic diversity are managed by a studbook.
Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica), also historically referred to as Siberian tigers, are critically endangered; fewer than 500 individuals are believed to exist in the forests of the Russian Far East. Their populations are dwindling due to overhunting of prey species such as deer and wild boar, habitat loss, and poaching for skins and body parts used in traditional Chinese medicine. Humans directly cause 75 to 85 percent of tiger deaths.
The Columbus Zoo is a long-term supporter of the Siberian Tiger Project which was established in 1992 by the Wildlife Conservation Society. The Zoo's funding contributes to improving human-tiger conflict mitigation, increasing capacity for young Russian scientists, and biological monitoring of tigers through camera trapping, track surveys and radio collaring.
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium contributes $1 million annually to more than 70 conservation projects in 30 countries. Monies are raised from private contributions and fundraising activities including Wine for Wildlife held each fall at the Zoo. This year's Wine for Wildlife event is already sold-out and proceeds will be dedicated to the Siberian Tiger Project.

But it might. We used to call it Multiple Personality Disorder. Some people think this label applies to Schizophrenia, but because you read this blog, you know the difference.
People who suffer from Schizophrenia may hear voices, but they don't usually have multiple personalities. These are both Axis I disorders, by the way, not personality disorders (Axis II).
And this is not Depersonalization Disorder, either, which is getting some press because Adam Duritz of Counting Crows (a popular rock band) is said to have it. (Read Dr. Deb). Depersonalization Disorder features persistent or recurrent experiences of feeling detached from one's mind or body, as if watching the self as an outside observer.
I first came upon Dissociative Identity Disorder when I met a client who had been a victim of incest, we're talking about 1984. (If you're faint-hearted you may not want to read on. I'm changing all the details for you, so this is total fiction, and it's a quick read, but nevertheless. . .upsetting).
The patient, age 40 at the time, recalled being a child of about six years old laying helpless on a sofa while her father molested her in every way imaginable. She grabbed onto a lace tablecloth that covered an end table and twirled it in her hand while he did this, all the while imagining that she was someone else, another child, complete with alternative personality, looks, parents, name, toys, friends, etc.
She played her fantasy so well in her head that she didn't feel (as much as she might have otherwise) what was happening to her. You can see why she did it, tranced out like that. She came to like this other self, so much in fact, that she often referred to herself as the other girl, used the other's name.
The patient became the other girl, too, had multiple selves. After all, the other girl didn't exist except in her head. And as confusing as this sounds, she could switch off all the time, unconsciously or at will. She experienced reality at different times as two different people.
Since that time I've treated only two others with this disorder who described similar circumstances, one sexual abuse, the other physical abuse. This ability to dissociate, to separate the self or ego, from what is happening in "real" time, is obviously the ego's defense system operating in a most sophisticated fashion.
Sometimes a person develops several personalities, in which case they are called, multiples. One identity suffers, so it helps to have a few who do not. Understudies.
Treatment's remarkable.
Anyway, I thought you'd like to be able to diagnose this for real, just in case you sometimes wonder,
Am I? Is she? Is he?Here you go. 300.14 Dissociative Identity Disorder
A. The presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states (each with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and self).
B. At least two of these identities or personality states recurrently take control of the person's behavior.
C. Inability to recall important personal information that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.
D. The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., blackouts or chaotic behavior during Alcohol Intoxication) or a general medical condition (e.g., complex partial seizures). Note: In children, the symptoms are not attributable to imaginary playmates or other fantasy play.
*You can read more about it in the Merck manual.

Creating mobile applications is challenging, but Microsoft just made it easy for most people to create their own Windows Phone apps. People talk about Indie gaming. The Windows Phone App Studio allows people to create apps to share with their family and friends (as long as they have an App Studio account) using a WYSWYG style web site. Whether you want an app for your kid's team, an app that introduces your company or an app for an upcoming event the App Studio can allow you to build them on your own with only modest effort and understanding of concepts.
So what are the attractive features of the site. The first thing is that you get a preview of what you are working on in most situations. Depending on how much detail you want to put into an app you can have one up and running in ten minutes and be sharing it with your friends. The main features of these apps are that they can display text and media and give users the ability to drill down to the details.
Beyond the ability to easily add new pages and data sources, you can also publish the resulting apps to the store and monetize your new creation. This can be done by either downloading the XAP file or the code for you application which then allows you to make further changes via Visual Studio.
There are a few things on the "needs improvements" side. The help screens need to be expanded with better explanations of features. For example you can set your data source to either static or dynamic. The help seems to imply that if you set it to static that Microsoft will store your data and download it to your users when it is changed, but that is not said explicitly (my testing proved out this is the case).
The data manipulation could also use some efficiency improvements. There should be was to reset the section or page you are in after you start editing. You seem to be able to get into situation where you have no option but to start over.
Lastly, I would like to see improved include the ability to use secured RSS feeds and a way to export and import data from the data sources.
This development option looks very promising. Even while I was writing this post they have added additional templates for apps. The fact that anyone can create one of these applications and share them with anyone else who has an App Studio account makes app development more social. This could make Windows Phone more attractive and accelerate it's recent growth. Take some time to see for yourself at the App Studio site.

Oct. 10 Raul Ibanez postgame interview
Q. Raul, I'm sure as you're not starting the game, you're thinking about pinch‑hitter at some point. Did you think it would be for Alex Rodriguez?
RAUL IBAÑEZ: No, I did not think that. I assumed something was going on or something when I was told that I was hitting second, and I asked one of the guys, I think it was Nuñez, and I asked who was hitting, and it was Alex, so I assumed something was going on. I didn't know. And then I just tried to get ready to hit.
Q. Can I assume these are the second and third best things of the month after the birth of your child?
RAUL IBAÑEZ: Yes. Yes, it's been great. I'm a very blessed man. I have a healthy baby boy and my wife is healthy, my children are healthy, first and foremost, and then getting an opportunity to play for this great team, great franchise, and being in that situation and having it work out that way is a great blessing.
Q. Obviously you didn't let it bother you in any way, but was it weird that you were going up there for one of the best hitters of all time?
RAUL IBAÑEZ: Yeah, I mean, Alex is one of the best hitters of all time, and he still is. I mean, he's one of the greatest players in the history of the game. So for a minute I just thought something was going on, I didn't know what was happening, and then I just tried to put it behind me and get a good pitch to hit.
Q. Just walk us through the two home runs, particularly the second one. You haven't faced left‑handed pitching that much this year.
RAUL IBAÑEZ: I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit, not trying to do too much, just trying to put a short swing on the first one, and it worked out. I was able to get a good pitch and hit it hard.
And the second one, same thing, not trying to do too much. I think the tendency late in the game when the game is tied is I think as players, we try to do a little too much, and I was trying to fight that feeling, trying not to do too much. And fortunately it worked out.
Q. Anything early in the count with the lefty, particularly with Matusz?
RAUL IBAÑEZ: Yeah, I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit. I don't even really remember what happened. It was kind of a blur what happened. I think sometime down the line I'll kind of remember it and recall it. But I think I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit.
Q. People talk a lot about, oh, it must be tough to sit around for eight innings and then come in and pinch‑hit. Can you tell us what you do, going in the cage, taking some swings?
RAUL IBAÑEZ: Yeah, it's definitely tough to be in that ‑‑ to pinch‑hit. It's definitely tough, but yeah, you're definitely stretching, fourth, fifth, sixth inning you're already stretching, getting loose, going through routines, hitting balls off the tee, taking flips down in the cage, you know, watching video, trying to prepare for any scenario that may happen. But a lot of times when you're pinch‑hitting, you're not ‑‑ pitching change comes and the guy that you thought you were going to face isn't the guy that you face. At some point you just have to go up there and try to get a good pitch to hit.
Q. Going back to Spring Training, you talked about coming to the Yankees and being a part of postseason wins and all that. What is it like to not only be a part of a postseason win in this stadium for this team, but to be the guy that basically delivers that win?
RAUL IBAÑEZ: Well, you know, watching the game and being a part of this great team with all these great players, Hall of Fame players, the thing that really sticks out to me from Spring Training is how mentally tough these guys are and what great teammates they are. You know, I'll go one step beyond that and say that they're great people, too.
Being in that situation and being a part of something like this, this great team, and obviously all the legends that have come before you here is an extraordinary feeling, and it's a great blessing. And then to be a part of something like that is definitely a special moment.
But at the same time, in baseball, it's moments ‑‑ we're talking about it now, but at some point you just have to try to focus on tomorrow, and tomorrow is another big game.
Q. Can you describe what the last three weeks have been like for you, starting with the Oakland game, and does each time you come through in a big moment help you with the next one?
RAUL IBAÑEZ: Yeah, I don't know what they've been like, really. It's been a blur, obviously with the unexpected birth of my son while my wife is visiting from out of town and to be in the pennant race like this. But I can tell you that this is a tremendous group of guys. Watching Jeet grind through that game was inspiring, and the guy is obviously one of the greatest players in the history of the game. But to watch him grind through stuff like that and see ‑‑ he's got the heart of a lie on ‑‑ is a great experience.
I don't even really remember the question, sorry.
Q. Each time you come through with a big moment does that help you with the next one to come through?
RAUL IBAÑEZ: Yeah, you know, you definitely try to draw on past experiences, you know, past successes, and you try to have a short memory about past failures, too. They can be helpful, but at the same time each moment is different, and I'm just trying to stay in the moment and not think too far back and not think ahead at all, just trying to think ‑‑ just trying to focus on what my task is at that moment.
Q. A lot of players think that you can either pinch‑hit or you can't, and some guys are really good at it and some guys are really bad at it. Obviously you're a veteran with a lot of experience. Do you subscribe to that theory? Do you think there is something about having some experience, or do you think you're just sort of made to be able to do it well or not?
RAUL IBAÑEZ: You know, I don't know. I try not to think about it too much. I try not to think about it very much. I think if I start thinking about that, then I become aware of kind of the situations and scenarios that I can't control. Again, I'm really just trying to stay in the moment and get a good pitch to hit, and I think at some point you can evaluate that, but the time to evaluate that ‑‑ which is a great question, by the way, but the time to evaluate that is after the season is over, and hopefully much later on next month or December. But that's a great question. I'm going to have to get back to you on it. I'm just trying to focus on the moment.

Tombstone Tuesday - William E Smith
William was the first son of Michael SMITH (1829-1902) with his second wife, Margaret Nellie (Maggie) SODERSTROM (1846-1901).
Families are Forever! ;-)

I remember my mother (Ellen Bethene Smith Pierce) talking about when he died. She was living at home helping to care for him at the time. From what I remember (wish I had paid better attention), he basically went in his bedroom, sat on the bed and died. I presume he had a heart attack, but I don't know that for sure.ReplyDelete
Interesting. I don't really remember my folks being specific. They were busy at their own farm, of course, a few miles away. Thanks for the memory!! ;-)ReplyDelete
Bill, you are going to live a very long and healthy life, but still both my husband and I always think about loved ones who died the age we are now. Hate that feeling.ReplyDelete
Last summer, I made a list of all the ages of many grandparents, 4 generations, as I recall, at death... just for curiosity. Of course, they are all over the place - 53-96 or so... no patterns. Some interesting individuals, but... anyway, I agree. One cannot help but think about it, a bit, as much as we do look at the stats! ;-)

This module provides various helpful utilities for dealing with strings.
Written by John Goerzen, firstname.lastname@example.com
|Whitespace Removal
Removes any whitespace characters that are present at the start or end of a string. Does not alter the internal contents of a string. If no whitespace characters are present at the start or end of a string, returns the original string unmodified. Safe to use on any string.
Note that this may differ from some other similar functions from other authors in that:
1. If multiple whitespace characters are present all in a row, they are all removed;
2. If no whitespace characters are present, nothing is done.
|Same as strip, but applies only to the left side of the string.
|Same as strip, but applies only to the right side of the string.
|Note: These functions are aliases for functions in Data.List.Utils.
Returns true if the given list starts with the specified elements; false otherwise. (This is an alias for Data.List.isPrefixOf.)
startswith "He" "Hello" -> True
Returns true if the given list ends with the specified elements; false otherwise. (This is an alias for Data.List.isSuffixOf.)
endswith "lo" "Hello" -> True
|Note: Some of these functions are aliases for functions in Data.List.Utils.
Given a delimiter and a list of items (or strings), join the items by using the delimiter.
join "|" ["foo", "bar", "baz"] -> "foo|bar|baz"
Given a delimiter and a list (or string), split into components.
split "," "foo,bar,,baz," -> ["foo", "bar", "", "baz", ""]
split "ba" ",foo,bar,,baz," -> [",foo,","r,,","z,"]
|Splits a string around whitespace. Empty elements in the result list are automatically removed.
Given a list and a replacement list, replaces each occurance of the search list with the replacement list in the operation list.
replace "," "." "127,0,0,1" -> "127.0.0.1"
This could logically be thought of as:
replace old new l = join new . split old $ l
Escape all characters in the input pattern that are not alphanumeric.
Does not make special allowances for NULL, which isn't valid in a Haskell regular expression pattern.
|Produced by Haddock version 2.6.0

Tap water and bottled water are generally comparable in terms of safety. So the choice of tap or bottled is mostly a matter of personal preference.
In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees bottled water, while the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates tap water. However, they use similar standards for ensuring safety.
The EPA mandates that water utilities provide annual quality reports to customers. These customer confidence reports provide information, such as source (river, lake, aquifer or other source), contaminant levels and potential health effects. However, the EPA doesn't regulate private wells. So if your tap water comes from a private well, you should test your water every year for contaminants, more frequently if needed.
The FDA has good manufacturing practices specifically for bottled water. They require bottled water producers to:
It's important to note that some people are more vulnerable to getting sick from contaminants in drinking water. You may be in this group if you are undergoing chemotherapy, living with HIV/AIDS or have received a transplant. Pregnant women, older adults and children also may be at greater risk. Talk with your doctor about whether you should take additional precautions, such as boiling tap water or drinking bottled water.

If you think dressing up like a giant slab of filet mignon is a modern contrivance, think again. Throughout his career in the 1600s, Parisian artist Nicolas de Larmessin II drew dozens of jovially wackadoodle caricatures of people flamboyantly garbed as their professions. How flamboyant? Two words: seafood suit.
This 17th-century illustrator depicted a butcher wearing a suit of cleavers and cow heads, an apothecary festooned in drugs, and an astrologist who somehow managed to cram the entire zodiac into one outfit. In short, this is what would happen if you got the peasantry of the 1600s high as kites and told them to invent superheroes. It'd be all, "Je voudrais Blacksmith-Man" and whatnot.
And those two characters at the top are a musician wearing a suit made of instruments and a firework manufacturer who's decided to wear his product for some inexplicable reason. Here are our ten favorite designs by de Larmessin. Basically, this is the historical precedent to Mega Man's rogues gallery.
1. The Fisherman
2. The Perfumist
3. The Wine Merchant
4. The Baker
5. The Astrologist
6. The Pastry Chef
7. The Wild Game Merchant
8. The Butcher
9. The Hatmaker
10. The Armorer
And just because we love you, here are some more of these bizarre outfits. I'm particularly fond of the butter woman and the sculptor covered in his own artwork. These drawings look like the fodder for 10,000 Monty Python sketches. For more retro cosplay weirdness, check out the "women of the future" and the 1873 Charles Darwin themed Mardi Gras parade.

BTS all-time leader: Michael Karatzia, 49
MLB all-time leader: Joe DiMaggio, 56
Yesterday's results
We're up to 35 games now for Choteria, who got a 1-for-4 performance from Chipper Jones to remain at the top of the BTS pack. Sure enough, adnaz remained right on the leader's tail, getting an identical 1-for-4 effort from Evan Longoria to push his own impressive streak to 34 games.
The subsequent placeholders in the standings couldn't keep pace, as Miguel Cabrera, Jacoby Ellsbury and Joe Mauer went hitless to end three streaks of at least 28 games. That left room for abetql, cdneaves and megz2312002 to slide into the Top 5 with a full slate of weekend games on tap.
Yesterday's Top 5 most selected players
1. Joe Mauer (MIN): 15.4%, 0-for-4
2. Evan Longoria (TB): 10.8%, 1-for-4
3. Carl Crawford (TB): 8.2%, 2-for-4
4. Dustin Pedroia (BOS): 6.3%, 0-for-3
5. Jacoby Ellsbury (BOS): 6.2%, 0-for-3

Well I'm back to square 1 or is it square zero Good luck choteria I'll be back
Oh wow…one of the other posters is right…it DOES update right away now!
I think that is fine when there was only one afternoon game, but I might find it disorienting when there are 8 700 PM games and people succeed and fail constantly during that time frame.
For example, Freddy Sanchez just got a hit (yay for me!) So will everyone with Freddy Sanchez get +1 on their hit streak and move upwards accordingly right NOW, or does it wait until the game goes final?
I think it would be exciting though, with all the different changes going on at once!
Any reason you picked Juan Pierre though today?
Lilly does not tend to give up many hits when he pitches. It is more the 2 walks and then 1 home run that result in him having a high ERA.
from what i've seen, ONLY day games get updated early and after the game. The night games seem to still update at like 3 am. Looks like their experimenting it but we'll probably see something like that really soon.
I was going to pick pierre today but switched at the last second to hudson. I like the cubs but they had a horrible defense playing today. Hudson and Pierre both scorch lefties and both hit pretty well in day games. The only reason i switched to hudson was because he went hitless yesterday and has yet to go hitless in back to back days this year.
Its so odd seeing freddy sanchez so much at the top of the leaderboard today, but it worked.
Note: it seems streaks with miguel cabrera are starting to increase. But some aren't. Don't know if they're doing it manually or its some sort of glitch.
lol…well actually, according to my detailed analysis, I came up with Freddy Sanchez as the top pick today!
When I finally came up with him and he made an out his 1st time up, I decided to go to the leaderboard to see if I had any "protection."
I was simulataneously elated and dismayed to see 4-5 sources of protection on the 1st page!
Elated that guys who have 25-35 game hit streaks came up with the same guy I did, but dismayed, because that means that the goal I need to eventually beat, has risen another notch higher.
By the way, protection means that a player ranked much higher than myself in the contest, came to the same conclusion than I did.
If there is very little protection on the leaderboard, then that would mean I missed out on a possible great opportunity and/or could have made a boneheaded pick myself or overlooked a last-minute switch.
A great example of that is a few years ago, when I picked a Rockie against the Mets, whom were supposed to be starting some # 5 guy, but after I went out for the day, I came home and found out that the Mets switched to Steve Trachsel and he threw a complete game, 1-hit shutout, which snapped a rather lengthy streak of mine.
I cannot recall how many games it was though.
I can look into it though. I keep track of all the picks I make each day of each year, so I can analyze them for end-of-year trends and performance.
Almost over! I just hope next 8 batters retire in 6 outs.
Yes! I Raul is down. Way down. BTW, Julian Tavarez really sucks. How does he rack up 4 losses in less than 20 innings of pitching? I can pitch better than that underarm. Because of him, Raul got another at bat in the 8th. Thank goodness Colome was blowing 96 to 97mph smokes. Ibanez is a tough hitter but he can't around those.
Choteria, you had a great run with excellent picks but your today's pick wasn't the best. I thought Raul was 3.5 out of 5 stars pick today.
Today, in general, was a really wide open day with nothing all that great available.
I remember making at least 3 passes through all the teams and being like, "Well, let me do something else for 15 minutes, maybe I will come up with someone then."
Finally, I settled on Aaron Hill, who was the "strongest" pick from my analysis.
I will say that I never even considered Raul Ibanez today, but I did briefly consider Hunter Pence (0 for 4) and Hanley Ramirez (2 for 5,) but backed off each for different reasons.
As for choterita, at least you got 5 AB's in your loss. It was not something more annoying like pinch-hitting and going 0 for 1, getting pulled out of the game in a blowout in an 0 for 2 appearance, going 0 for 1 with 3 walks, or going 0 for 2 in a game-shortened rainout.

My late-April resolution, made at the C5/C6 Birthday Bash on '07, to "do better on car care" coupled with what I learned researching C-Magic Wax (www.cmagicwax.com), had me ordering one of the company's "World Class Corvette Detail Kits". After a week, FedEx Ground shows-up and a few minutes later, open on the work bench is this Kit with one bottle of each C-Magic product along with a couple of applicator pads and a micro-fiber towel.
"Uh-oh" I thought as my heart stuck in my throat, "This looks like work. What this 'shop' needs is a good buffer."
Actually, I'd been thinking about a buffer for a while. I'd polled a few people in my Corvette club who are hardcore waxers (they shall remain nameless) and use a power buffer for at least part of the waxing process and found most of them use a single-disc, random-orbital-buffer such as what Porter Cable (a big name in buffers I come to find), Waxmaster or Griot's Garage sell. It seems that single-disc, random-orbitals in the $75-$125 range dominate. I even tried one of them and while I very-much liked the labor-saving aspects of it, I hated the vibration and disliked the way these buffers, most of which are really industrial-style random-orbital sanders, de-contented to lower the cost to consumers then fitted with buffing heads, felt and handled. I kept on my buffer quest, but looking for more higher-end products that would vibrate less and last longer.
In talking with the C-Magic folks, I learned they recommend a dual-head, orbital buffer called a "Cyclo". Once again, I did some research. It's made by Cyclo Toolmakers in Colorado (www.cyclotoolmakers.com). The patented Cyclo was designed 54-years ago for polishing the bare aluminum and painted surfaces on large aircraft, particularly those owned by airlines. It gained widespread acceptance in the aerospace industry and later in the military and amongst professional car care specialists.
The Cyclo is a timeless piece of equipment which has changed little since it was introduced in 1953. Today, among its many high-profile users is the United States Air Force, specifically the 89th Air Lift Wing. Non-military types will know it better as the folks who fly and maintain Air Force One, the VC-25 (military version of the Boeing 747-200B) used by the President of the United States along with the aircraft used by the Vice President, the Secretary-of-State and the Air Force Chief of Staff. Needless to say, if you've ever seen Air Force One in-person, you've marveled at the aircraft's spotless appearance. How do they do that? Polishing with Cyclos. They have so many of them which are used constantly, that once every five years or so, the Air Force will ship pallets of them back to Cyclo Toolmakers for service. Cyclo "tunes them up" and ships them back to the USAF. There are Cyclos all over the world which have been in service 40 years or more.
The feature which makes a Cyclo unique is the overlapping, rotating motion of the two heads which mimics the two-handed, manual polishing/waxing technique old-school car care aficionados use when they hand-wax their cars. The Cyclo's buffing heads, which are run by a transmission geared to the device's electric motor, are dynamically balanced such that, when the unit is running and the heads are rotating, there is no vibration. The way this works is very similar to how balance shafts in large-displacement four-cylinder and V-6 engines damp vibration at idle and lower engine speeds.
This was a no-brainer.
I ordered a Cyclo.
A week or so later, FedEx Ground was back again with a box from Cyclo Toolmakers. In it was a gleaming, Cyclo Model 5 (PN 80-010), the 110-volt electric unit which features a 1/3-hp motor which turns its heads at about 3000 rpm. There are three other Cyclos, two for use with either U.S. or E.U. 230-volt power and a third which is air powered. All Cyclos share the same transmission and head assemblies. All that differs is how they are powered. My Model 5 was fitted with Cyclo's new, optional DoublePrecision, quick-connect adapters in place of the standard head assemblies. A Cyclo, at six pounds, weighs almost the same as the Porter Cable 6-in., single-head, random-orbital, at 5.75 lbs, but it's ergonomically designed for either one-hand or two-hand operation. I am by no means a muscular guy but I had no problem handling it, either one-handed or with both hands on either horizontal or vertical panels.
In fact, the unit's weight allows it to make your job easier on horizontal surfaces. Its six-pounds provides the right amount of pressure on the surface being polished or waxed. You don't have to push down. I just turn the Cyclo on and use my hands to guide it's course letting it's weight provide the pressure. Lastly, some might balk at the Cyclo's price, about 300 bucks, but consider this...I have three Vettes, for a total investment of about 100 grand. I think I can afford $300 for a tool which helps me keep them nice-looking. While the made-in-USA Cyclo is about twice the price of a good, single-head, random orbital, it does a better job, does it faster and will last a lifetime. Chinese-made, 6-in. orbital grinders fitted with buffing pads will last...what? About three years-maybe?
So far I've polished four vehicles with C-Magic World Class Wax and the Cyclo, two Vettes-a Dark Purple Metallic '95 ZR-1 and a LeMans Blue, '04 Commemorative Z06-a Blue '07 Chevy HHR and a White '01 Camaro. I apply the product with the Cyclo, one panel at a time, which is the best way to evenly spread the polish to all parts of the car. I wait until it hazes. Then, I sparingly spray C-Magic Detail Wax on, again, going panel-by-panel. Lastly, I wipe the haze away with micro-fiber towels. Yeah, this part you do by hand, but you apply no significant pressure nor do you hand buff anything. Just wipe enough to remove the haze. So easy even a five-year-old could do it. C-Magic Detail Wax is a sort of activator for the C-Magic World Class Wax. The polish can be used alone, but the two together ensure the best durability of the finish-figure six months before you have to redo it.
I tell you what, the three dark cars, especially the Purple ZR-1, had a shine that was deep and warm with clarity unlike that of the polish I'd been using before which, was either RainDance or Turtle Wax. I learned a key lesson: as is true with many Corvette related products, with car polish, you get what you pay for. If you buy an $8 tub of wax, you're going to get an $8 shine. If you buy a $20 dollar bottle of World-Class Wax, you're going to get an impressive finish that is equal to that of any other high-end polymer-based products and which exceeds the visual quality of high-end, carnuba-based wax products. In talking with the people tho make C-Magic I learned that on dark cars, multiple applications of C-Magic further improve the look, whereas multiple applications of any natural wax product eventually "yellow" the finish, so, I'm getting ready to do horizontal panels on the Z06 a second time.
The last thing I want to say about C-Magic products is they seem to be the only car polish products in the high-end of the market-amongst the Zanios, Zymols, Klassies Adam's and so forth-which are made by a company owned by Corvette people. When you talk to Kermit Dye, one of the owners of C-Magic, you soon learn that, yeah, he owns a company which makes car care products; but he's first and foremost a Corvette owner and enthusiast. I have to admit, that's part of the reason I gave the products a try. That, plus how my Corvettes look and that getting them to look that way-ok, I had help from the best buffer in the world, the Cyclo-has me firmly in the C-Magic camp.

Does this sound too good to be true? A company has come to Victoria saying they've come up with a piece of technology that will turn our non-recyclable waste into electricity, water and other useful by-products, like building materials.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Despite our best efforts to reduce our carbon footprints, the fact is, we still rely on landfills in which to dump our rubbish.
This technology would turn a problem - where to put our rubbish - into an environmentally-friendly solution.
A Canadian company, Plasco Energy, is currently developing and selling this technology around the world.
But Plasco's only signed a contract with one government so far: the City of Ottawa.
Plasco's senior vice president of business development, Alisdair McLean, spoke at a workshop at Ballarat University this week.
He says, despite some scepticism, the technology has been proven to work.
"If we were to take a tonne of waste, we'll turn about 95 percent of that waste into something useful: the energy, the aggregate, clean water, and there's five percent that's going to be left over.
"The important thing we're trying to do here is make value out of the garbage."
The Mayor of Hepburn Shire, Bill McClenaghan, says he thinks the technology is impressive, but says the costs involved would be beyond the reach of any single regional council.
"But if we were to go into it on a regional basis, we would then be in a position where we could seriously look at something like this for the future.
"And I think probably the sooner the better."
Alisdair McLean says due to contract delays, the facility won't be up-and-running until 2015.
Over in Ottawa, a journalist with The Ottawa Citizen, Joanne Chianello, says there's still scepticism about whether the technology will work on a large scale. She says the patience of citizens has also been tested by the slow progress of the project.
Ms Chianello says a demonstration facility - that is much smaller than the one that will be built for commercial use - hasn't operated consistently.
"As of now, it has never really been proven that it can run on the scale that's necessary for a big municipality like Ottawa, to handle as much waste as we're going to send over there.
"I don't know that we're going to believe it works, until it works."

A week after Thanksgiving, Senator-elect Ted Cruz will make his second trip to Washington since being elected to replace Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Last time, the Houston Republican flew up for freshman orientation. This time, he's the star of a political show.
On Thursday, Nov. 29, Cruz will be headlining American Principles Projects's (APP) inaugural "Red, White and Blue" gala.
APP is a non-profit organization focused on "preserving and propagating the fundamental principles on which our country was founded." Its Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles initiative has been actively lobbying Republicans to support "free-market solutions" to immigration, and engage Latinos on entrepreneurship and social issues such as abortion and traditional marriage.
Frank Cannon, president of the APP, referred to Cruz as a "champion of Constitutional principles who will help guide us back to winning ideas."
Cruz, one of the 2012 up-and-coming stars of the Republican Party, has been outspoken about his belief that the Latino community is a profoundly conservative community.
However, Republicans have a lot of work to do to close the Latino vote gap, considering that on Nov. 6, President Barack Obama beat the Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney 71 to 27 among Latino voters.

Pictured above, two action figures. One, a custom piece based on Figma's Samus (it's got stuff like a new head), the other, a way more custom piece showing a Chozo.
Both were done by Jin Saotome, a master toysmith we've featured here many times before. What's cool about the Chozo is not just how he was cannibalised from other figures like Prometheus' Engineer, but how he also comes with extra gear for the Samus figure (new weapon effects, etc), which kinda makes them a must-have pair.

This entry is prompted by my previous entry for openSUSE 11 (link). I recall that I had similar challenges in setting up my home HP Deskjet F2120 printer with SLED 10 SP2. With SLED 10 SP2, the challenge was the bundled hplip driver was of a much older version and did not have the necessary support for newer HP Printers.
With an enterprise product (ie 7 years support), Novell had to keep its SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (aka SLED) 10 in a fairly "stable and supportable" state. Therfore, its kernel (2.6.16) and its associated packages are mostly static (unless there is a security or mandatory patch).
Unfortunately (for me), this means the hplip is at version 0.9.7 and another alternative version at 1.7.2. The latest hplip from source is at version 2.8.5 (as of this writing).
Here's how I got my SLED 10 SP2 to work with my new HP Deskjet F2120.
Note: You are on your own as the steps below will install a newer hplip version that does not come with the official SLED 10 SP2 package... Ergo, outside the official enterprise support scope.
1) Use Firefox to surf to openSUSE Build Service at http://software.opensuse.org/search
2) In the search field, enter hplip and select SLES/SLED 10 in the drop-down list and click Search
3) From the results, as shown below, note that there is a version 2.8.2 of hplip available.
Note: Do NOT click the 1-Click Install button. The default SLED 10 does not support this feature... most likely available in the SLED 11 timeframe.
4) Instead, take note of the line above the 1-Click Install button (ie home:jsmeix/SLE_10). You can do so by right-clicking on (home:jsmeix/SLE_10) and select Copy Link Location.
The actual URL link is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:jsmeix/SLE_10
5) Start YaST -> Installation Source. Select Add, followed by Specify URL... and click Next. Paste the link in step (4) in the URL field and click Next. After YaST downloads the respective meta-data and creates a new installation source, click Finish.
6) Start YaST -> Software Management. Enter hplip in the Search field. You will see the hplip package but a newer 2.8.2 version is available for installation. Select this newer hplip version and install or update (if you have a previous hplip version installed).
OOPS: You will need to re-install yast2-printer package. If you do not re-install, the YaST Printer module will hang while it re-organize its new printer database (you installed a new hplip). A re-installation of yast2-printer will overcome this problem.
7) Plug in the USB connector of the HP Deskjet F2120 and use the Control Center -> Printers to configure and you will find the driver for F2120 is now available.
TIP: To monitor all printer definitions, status and print jobs. Use Firefox with the following link http://localhost:631
Viola! Happiness...

How about Ubuntu support? What I installed though Wubi and my HP print was already plugged in?ReplyDelete
Hi alpha nerd,ReplyDelete
If you used Wubi, then you must be using the latest Ubuntu 8.04, yes? If so, I would be very surprise if your HP printer did not work for you.
Found this web entry that might be a good starting point for you. http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/printing_ubuntu
Good luck! :)

While I was in New York, I had the chance to meet Ana Maria Escobar, the Creative Director of one of Australia's - and not only - favorite brands, Oroton!
Oroton, has a great history on fashion accessories and leather handbags. For the Spring/Summer 2012 collection, Oroton continues its royal affair titled Caroline on the Left Bank. Ana Maria's inspiration for this collection came from her design trip to Paris, where she became mesmerized by the beauty and timeless sensibility of Princess Caroline of Monaco. "While walking along the left bank of the Seine I noticed the most beautiful woman trying on a perfect leopard dress in a vintage shop. Around her was an entourage of people helping her achieve an effortless elegance. I wanted to create a collection that captured that precise moment, the effect of the leopard dress; of how special one piece can make you feel," recounts Ana Maria.
Classic feminine lines crafted with a vintage feel in ladylike totes and super elegant mini bags contrasted by texture with the use of printed nylon, Pony skin and glossy Italian resin bringing the season into fruition. This is it! Rose Dust, Tan, Caviar, some sparkles; Grenadine, Cotton Candy and Green Orchid that make us dream… But dreams are real this time, we can carry them with us!
The perfect little shopper bag in the Entourage collection or the beautiful retro-inspired Rose Dust bag that adds glamour to an after-dark look are two of every womans' favorite pieces. At the same time, detailed hardware strengthens the collection in gladiatorial bronzes, gunmetal and gold, while bold jewels are piled up high in regal elegance worked back with silk linen knits, scarves and ballet flats completed with nail polish in the summers highlight colors. Just like Caroline on the Left Bank of Siene and her effortless elegance! Just like OROTON!

In response to the worst E. coli poisoning outbreak in Canadian history that occurred in May, the provincial government announced Operation Clean Water aimed at simplifying and strengthening water protection laws and policies.
The deadly strain of E. coli bacteria broke out in the Walkerton--a town of 5,000 people 90 miles west of Toronto--water supply utility and lead to the deaths of six people while infecting 2,000 others.
"Our goal is to have the safest water in Canada, with high standards, frequent testing, prompt reporting and tough penalties," said Ontario Premier Mike Harris. "This is the first time in Ontario's history that universal water quality standards and testing have been given the force of law."
The "confused patchwork" of water protection laws and policies cited by Environmental Commissioner Gord Miller in a special report on the Walkerton incident called for leadership by Ontario's environment ministry and for action to safeguard the three million Ontarians who depend on groundwater for drinking water.
Harris and Ontario Environment Minister Dan Newman announced a new provincial regulation to ensure the safety of Ontario's drinking water as part of Operation Clean Water.
It applies to water treatment and distribution systems that currently require approval under the Ontario Water Resources Act including municipal waterworks and other large systems.
The regulation calls for:
Regular and frequent sampling and testing of water
Stringent treatment requirements for all drinking water
Quarterly public water quality reports by large waterworks
Micro-biological and chemical testing conducted exclusively by accredited laboratories
Clear requirements for the immediate, person-to-person communication of reports of potentially unsafe water situations to the Ministry of the Environment, the local Medical Officer of Health and the waterworks owner
Public access to all records of large waterworks
Municipalities must release their first public water quality reports by October 30. Municipalities that violate the rules face fines ranging from $20,000 to $2 million and possible jail sentences.
The provincial government wants full cost pricing for water and sewer services, forcing water users to pay both the daily operating costs of water treatment and the capital costs for long-term repair and upgrading.
This will allow municipalities, often the owners and operators of water systems, to make the necessary investments that will ensure safe drinking water, said Harris.
In the coming days, Ontario's Municipal Affairs Ministry is expected to announce financial support for water and sewer infrastructure to ensure municipalities can comply with the new water regulations.

USB devices are quite common these days. I've digital cam, Pen drive, external hard disk, mouse and other stuff. So how do I tell what hardware is connected via USB to my Linux desktop?
lsusb is a utility for displaying information about USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them. To make use of all the features of this program, you need to have a Linux kernel which supports the /proc/bus/usb interface.
-v command option is very informative. It tells lsusb to be verbose and display detailed information about the devices shown. This includes configuration descriptors for the device's current speed. Class descriptors will be shown, when available, for USB device classes including hub, audio, HID, communications, and chipcard.

In this article, we will discuss Gas Electricity and some of the common techniques and technologies used for Generating Electricty from Gas.
Let's begin with the basics: What is Gas Electricity or Gas based Electricity?
Electricity or Electric energy is a form of energy. Generally, electric energy is obtained from other forms of energy.
Gas Electricity is a term used to describe the form of electricity which uses Gas as a source of transforming energy to Electric energy. In short, if Gas is used to generate electricty, then it is called Gas Electricity.
How is Gas Electricity produced?
There are many techniques and technologies available to produce electricity from Gas. Some of them are practically viable, while some are not viable as of now, but discussions and research are still going on for them. Below we present the various methods for generating Gas Electricity or generating electricity from gas.
Steam Based Generation of Gas Electricity:
This is one of the most commonly used methods to produce Gas electricty. Burning of a gas based fossil fuel, say natural gas, helps achieve this. When Natural Gas is burned, it produces steam and other gases from combustion. These combustion gases and steam is used to rotate the turbine blades which in turn generate electricity.
Heat Based Generation of Gas Electricity:
In this, the following method is used: Burning of natural gas in a gas turbine and use of the residual heat to generate additional electricity from steam. These plants are said to give efficiencies of up to 60%.
Gas Electricity Generation from Gas well pressure:
This may not have been implemented till now, but forms a good idea - Is it possible to make electricity from the high pressure available in the Gas Well?
It appears to be a viable option. The reason is that there is huge pressure inside the Gas well - in the range of 100 to 250 bars. This huge pressure, can be used to rotate the blades of a turbine, which can in turn produce gas based electricity. Here is a demo for the way this can be implemented.
Please note that this is just an idea yet to be implemented. May be some day we can see this being practically used

Hmm, with my little 250 - 350 word stories, if I were to trash 30,000 words, I'd be at minus 85 to 120 complete books!
I had a wretched, stressful day at work so I didn't get to write during lunch like I planned, but I hammered out 100 words or so during the 10 minutes between arriving at my daughter's preschool and going inside to pick her up. I am seriously in love with my AlphaSmart.
Just curious - do you use the Alphasmart only when you're out and about, or do you use it at home as well to avoid clicking online while you're working?

Mark Giordano's return ignites Flames past Coyotes
- Mark Giordano had a goal and an assist in his return as the Flames beat the Coyotes 4-1
- The Flames went 5-11-2 since Oct. 21 with Giordano out
- TJ Brodie added a goal and an assist for the Flames
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Mark Giordano returned from a broken ankle Wednesday night and the Calgary Flames got right back to winning.
That's exactly what they were doing before he got injured.
Back in the lineup after missing 18 games, the captain scored a goal and added an assist in Calgary's 4-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes.
"For me, personally, to get back in, it was a great feeling," said Giordano, who proudly wore the Flames fire hat after being the team's choice for player of the game. "I felt pretty good. Your adrenaline gets going pretty quick and I really didn't feel my ankle at all tonight, so that's a great sign."
TJ Brodie also had a goal and an assist for the Flames.
Giordano's goal was a big one, extending the lead to 3-1 at 11:46 of the second period. On the power play, Giordano's shot from the blue line changed direction off the stick of Antoine Vermette and eluded goalie Thomas Greiss.
"Scoring always feels great. Obviously, that one was a bit lucky, going off the stick, but it was a great feeling and I felt after that for the rest of the game, we played pretty solid," said Giordano, who has 11 points in nine games — four fewer than his total in 47 games last season.
Giordano was injured Oct. 21 during a victory in Los Angeles. At the time, the Flames were 4-2-2. While he was absent, the club went 5-11-2.
"Obviously, it's a big deal to get your captain back. He's our leader on and off the ice," goalie Karri Ramo said. "He's been around us the whole time he's been hurt and trying to help the team any way he can, so it was really good to see him out there."
Mikael Backlund and Lee Stempniak also scored for the Flames, who have won consecutive games for the first time since Oct. 9 and 11. They won on home ice for just the second time in their past nine games (2-5-2).
Keith Yandle scored for Phoenix, which won 6-2 in Edmonton on Tuesday night. The Coyotes have split the first two games of their four-game road trip, which continues Friday night in Vancouver.
"Got unlucky with a goal at the end of the first period that probably gave them some momentum, and we couldn't get it back," Phoenix coach Dave Tippett said. "We had lots of pucks around the net, lots of opportunities. That's the way it goes sometimes."
Trailing 1-0, the Flames tied it with 8 seconds left in the first period when Brodie's shot deflected in off the leg of Phoenix defenseman David Schlemko for his career-high third goal.
"That one hit me twice — once in my foot, once in my rear end — and then it goes top shelf," Schlemko said. "Kind of an unlucky way to end the first period."
The goal sent Calgary to the dressing room even despite being outshot 11-3 in the opening 20 minutes.
Building off that momentum, the Flames played a much better second period, taking the lead at 5:48 when Backlund scored to end an 18-game drought.
"We came in here, we know we didn't have our best first, they sort of took it to us for the first half. But those late goals, they usually are momentum swings and we did a great job of carrying it over into the second," Giordano said.
Up 3-1 heading to the third period, Calgary got some insurance at 2:44 with its NHL-leading sixth short-handed goal. Matt Stajan neatly set up Stempniak on a 2-on-1.
"I think we dominated that first period, so kind of unlucky to come out tied 1-1," Yandle said. "But at the same time, you have to come out in the second with a little more jump. We knew they were going to push back and we've got to do a better job there."
Making his second consecutive start after stopping 21 of 22 shots to beat Los Angeles last weekend, Ramo was excellent again. He finished with 29 saves to improve to 4-4-1.
"It was a while that I didn't see a game, but you just have to take it game by game and don't think about the situation too much and what's going to happen," Ramo said. "You just have to play the game and enjoy it."
Ramo had a pair of solid glove saves in the second period, when Calgary took the lead. First he denied Vermette and then he robbed Mikael Boedker in the final minute.
With Mike Smith getting the night off, Greiss made his fourth start. He had 14 saves and fell to 3-2-0.

Spring Signals Home-Improvement Season
It was a little over a week ago that we were all skiing fresh powder, but how quickly winter has departed (maybe temporarily), and with the onset of Spring comes thoughts of home improvement projects. The winter of 2011 – 2012 was rather benign when compared with the typical Sierra climate. We had far less snow and precipitation, only a couple of significant wind events and temperatures were above average much of the time.
So while most properties came through the winter season in relatively good condition, there is still the usual wear and tear to address. And major projects such as roof replacement, deck repairs and remodeling require a lot of thought and planning before you begin work. There are quite a number of specific rules, regulations and restrictions when it comes to doing improvements on your property at Lake Tahoe whether you own a house or condo. It could be something as obscure as a prohibition against using hardwood or tile flooring if you live in a condo above your neighbors. Or something more common like the need to get a permit when you are replacing your roof, building a fence or doing any one of a number of significant improvements to your property.
Lakeview property owners have to comply with TRPA regulations concerning the types of glass that are permitted to be used when replacing windows. Now this may seem to be rather bizarre if you have moved here recently from outside the Lake Tahoe basin. But there are specific rules concerning the types of glass and properties of reflectivity that are permissible when installing windows in your house. Boaters can be blinded by the glare of highly reflective windows. So, houses that can be seen from the Lake come under special scrutiny whenever a window replacement project is being undertaken.
Many homeowners and prospective buyers consider the possibility of fencing a portion of their property. In general, there is a 6 foot height restriction and there could very well be setback requirements affecting where you could position a fence on your parcel. You also have to take into account whether there is a snow removal easement because you don't want to build a fence right where the County snow-thrower generally piles up the snow in the wintertime. The requirements for getting a permit to build a fence are not all that complicated. But you do need to provide a site plan, show the location of the fence and all structures on the property along with ensuring the construction of your fence conforms to current building codes.
This is also the time of year when contractors, handymen and trades people of all types start see their calendars fill up. The nice weather makes it much easier to do all types of projects especially those that involve outdoor improvements and repairs. You may not be able to get all of the materials and supplies you need in short order. So make sure that you allow plenty of time to acquire everything needed for your project well in advance of beginning work. And if you are ordering items on the Internet, inspect every package upon receipt and immediately notify the shipper of any damage or missing parts so that you can get a replacement without undue difficulty. Using a credit card to make these purchases will provide much easier recourse in the event of a dispute.
It's exciting to do remodeling and spruce up your property. So take the time to get estimates, acquire samples of different materials, compare prices and carefully plan each project from start to finish. You'll save time, money and aggravation along with getting the finished look you desire whether it's a nicely landscaped yard or that new kitchen you've been saving for. We are fortunate to have professionals who live and work locally performing high-quality services in virtually every trade and craft. Your real estate agent can likely refer you to people they have worked with in the past so you can see their quality and workmanship before engaging their services.

Shado-Pan Monastery
- Gu Cloudstrike – Before the escape of the sha, Gu Cloudstrike was entrusted with training the elite Shado-Pan spellcasters.

He has asserted control over the mystical Azure Serpent, and his students are helpless in the wake of Cloudstrike's lethal attacks.
- Master Snowdrift – Master Snowdrift recognizes that the battles between the Horde and the Alliance have contributed to the monastery's dire state. Heroes seeking this wary pandaren's loyalty must first best his students. Only those who prevail can face Snowdrift himself, a paragon of martial arts who has dedicated his life to attaining perfection of body and mind.
- Sha of Violence – Bloodthirsty, ruthless, and savage, the Sha of Violence is unfettered within the Shado-Pan Monastery. Feeding on the Horde and Alliance's brutality, the entity gleefully ravages the monks who struggle to impede the monstrous onslaught.
- Taran Zhu – The Sha of Hatred has tainted Taran Zhu, the Shado-Pan's pragmatic and mighty leader. Once devoted to protecting his beloved home, Zhu now burns with seething hatred for all life, twisting his perception of everything--and everyone--around him.
