Florida Everblades 4 vs. Greenville Warriors 5 (OT)
F Alex Hutchings, FLA: Did not play

D Charles Landry, FLA: Did not play
Season totals: 16 GP, 1-5-6, +1, 15 PIM
F Maxime Langelier-Parent, FLA: Did not play
Season totals: 1 GP, 1-0-1, -1, 0 PIM

G Pat Nagle, FLA: Did not play
Season totals: 10 GP, 4-4-1, 0 SO, 3.46 GAA, 253 S / 286 SA (.885 SV%)
Locked-out NHLer Ryan O'Byrne, whose signing Florida announced his signing earlier in the day, hit the scoresheet with an assist in his first game of the season but, despite the boost to the blueline, Florida squandered a two-goal lead late in the third period before going on to lose in the shootout. The Everblades had a mixed night on special teams, scoring on three of five power play opportunities while allowing both a short-handed goal against and the Road Warriors to score on one of their three sequences with the man advantage. Greenville's Sebastian Piche, who won the Kelly Cup with the Everblades last season after joining the Lightning organization as part of the trade deadline deal that sent Kyle Quincey, acquired from Colorado in exchange for Steve Downie, to Detroit, had two apples, one of which was the primary dish on the game-tying goal by Andrew Yogan. Alex Hutchings was out of the lineup for the first time since the season opener, so with Pat Nagle sitting in favor of John Muse and Charles Landry currently up with Syracuse, Dan Milan was the lone Lightning prospect who saw any action. Maxime Langelier-Parent, who has an AHL contract, inactive due to injury. Florida (7-7-5, 19 PTS) and Greenville will do battle again (13-6-1, 27 PTS) Saturday night.
Alaska Aces 2 @ Bakersfield Condors 1
F Nate Thompson, AK: Did not play
Season totals: 19 GP, 6-12-18, +6, 16 PIM
Alaska nearly doubled up Bakersfield in shots, 41-21, but could only muster two goals while sending the home club to its fifth-straight defeat and into a tie with Evansville for the league's worst record. For the third-consecutive game, all of which he has won, former Lightning goaltender Gerald Coleman started over Mark Guggenberger and is now sporting a a 1.33 GAA and .948 SV%. For the first time this season, Nate Thompson was not in the lineup. Fellow locked-out NHLer Brandon Dubinsky remains out due to injury. Alaska (15-5-0, 30 PTS) finishes its six-game road trip with a showdown against Ontario (14-5-0, 28 PTS), another Western conference powerhouse, on Saturday.

The Bishop Hendricken soccer team is scoring goals. That was hurdle number one after last year, when the Hawks had an almost unbelievable scoring drought.
The best news for the Hawks is that goal-scoring isn't the only facet of the game that's working.
Hendricken rode a solid all-around effort to a 2-1 victory over Chariho on Thursday. The Hawks are now 3-1-1, good for a fourth-place tie in the Division I standings.
"It's nice to be able to say we're scoring goals, but I really like this team in the sense that we've won against a lot of different kinds of teams," said head coach Mickey Rooney. "Chariho is very aggressive and physical and we got through it. Central is a very tricky, technical team and we did a nice job there. We've been seeing teams with different styles of play and we seem to be responding. I'm really happy with it."
The Hawks lost their season opener to Barrington – who sits atop the division – but they've had a positive result every time out since then. They beat Central Falls and tied Central before victories over Cumberland and Chariho last week.
Against the Chargers, the Hawks scored in the first minute of play, watched Chariho even the score on a penalty kick but then got the lead back early in the second half. A strong defensive effort – including a great play late in the game – sealed the victory.
"This was a good team – they've got speed, they've got aggression," Rooney said. "To step up and get a victory down here, it's a good win."
The Hawks led almost from the get-go. Thirty-two seconds into the game, Brandon Silvestri found himself in space 15 yards past midfield and put a shot on net. It arced perfectly into the top left corner for the 1-0 lead.
Energized by the fast start, the Hawks carried the play for much of the half, but in the 23rd minute, they committed a foul in the box, which set up a penalty kick. Dustin Tougas took it and made the shot to tie the game.
Both teams had a few chances over the rest of the half but came up empty. In the second half, the Chargers threatened first. Just a minute-and-a-half in, a cross set up a wide open shot, but it sailed wide.
Then it was the Hawks' turn, and they didn't miss.
In the 43rd minute, a long throw-in by Brady Chant set up a close-range shot for Christian Kirby. It got past the goalkeeper but a defender was there to kick it away. Unfortunately for the Chargers, the ball went right to Hendricken's Brennan Martin, who smashed a shot into the net to give the Hawks the lead.
The goal was a perfect illustration of Hendricken's offensive prowess.
"If you look at our stats and you look at the goal-scorers, it's not just one person," Rooney said. "Everybody's playing, everybody's scoring, everybody's getting assists. We're a difficult team to play against."
The Hawks also took advantage on one of their biggest offensive weapons. Chant plays sweeper but takes the majority of the team's throw-ins and can get it to the box with ease.
"It's definitely a weapon," Rooney said. "We really haven't capitalized all that much, but that'll come."
Armed with the lead, the Hawks still had to hold tight for nearly 40 more minutes. They did so in impressive fashion, especially as the clock ticked inside two minutes. The Chargers got loose on a big run, but goalie Daniel Escobar made a diving stop. The ball got away, and Chariho put a shot on net, but defender Reed Worthington was there to head it away.
Chariho didn't threaten again.
"It was nitty gritty down at the end there," Rooney said. "Everybody did their job. I'm happy. Dan came up big. Reed was right on the line and he headed it off. They did what they were supposed to do."
And the big play sealed a victory.
The Hawks will try to keep rolling with two more games this week. They'll visit Hope today at 4 p.m. before hosting East Providence on Friday at 4 p.m.
"We've got Hope and we've got East Providence next week," Rooney said. "Hope is a very skillful team so that will certainly be a tester. From day one, we've been just taking these little baby steps. Hopefully, it continues and keeps on going."

Toronto's Evan Malach is the new "Jewish star" after winning the Hallelujah Global Hebrew Singing Contest for Jewish Talent finals Saturday night in Israel. Malach topped the voting with his rendition of Ehud Banai's K'nani Blues.
"I feel incredibly humbled. The talent of the group was at an extremely high level. To be chosen as the winner is such an honour," Malach said in an interview the day after his win.
Of the 14 finalists, two were Canadian.
Winnipeg's Alex Dashefsky, who came in second in the Audience Favourite voting on Facebook, was really excited on being told he had made it to the finals a week earlier.
"I didn't expect to make the finals. I was quite honoured," Dashefsky, 18, told The Canadian Jewish News. "It's a great feeling."
One of the youngest contestants in the contest, Dashefsky said he felt "intimidated at first" by the other participants as some of them were "quite professional." But the University of Manitoba freshman, who will begin his studies next month, quickly showed that he was a singing force himself.
Both Malach and Dashefsky beat out hundreds of other Jewish singers from across the globe to secure their spots in the finale.
Some 1,000 people watched the Saturday night showdown in Ramat Hasharon, along with Sports and Culture Minister Limor Livnat and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz.
"Hebrew song is the most beautiful, powerful and essential part of renewed Jewish culture. There is nothing more important than an evening like this that connects the Diaspora to Israel," Steinitz told the crowd.
Malach won a cash prize of $8,000, the opportunity to record a radio single with Israeli cantor and stage performer Dudu Fisher (which will be released as a single in Israel and on global Jewish radio stations), and a singing tour that will see him perform at Jewish communities across the globe.
Second-place winner Courtney Simmons of the United States won a cash prize of $4,000. Third-place winner was Russia's Polina Zizak, who took home $2,000.
The 27-year-old Malach said both before the finals and afterward that the level of talent among the contestants was "exceptional."
"To give you a sense of how amazing the people in the group are," he said, "[Simmons] has performed on Broadway and [Zizak] has been accepted to study voice at one of Russia's premier music conservatories. I am thrilled, to say the least, and so grateful for the opportunity to connect with such wonderful and passionate people."
The Hallelujah contest brings Jewish singers age 18 to 30 to Israel for a one-month experience that includes music training and learning about Israeli heritage and culture.
The idea for the song contest was conceived by the Meitar Association for Fostering Hebrew Songs among the Jewish People, whose aim is to create a cultural dialogue between Israel and the Diaspora.
Hundreds of people applied to take part in the summer program. Participants had to pass three stages – sending YouTube videos of them singing Hebrew songs – before being selected. Only 30 of the applicants were chosen to come to Israel.
"This is like the Jewish Olympics for singing," Malach said of the experience. "It's already given me 30 really close friends from around the world – people from South America, Russia, Uruguay, Australia, Argentina, the U.S. and Canada."
There was no specific daily schedule for all the contestants. Some days the participants were taken on tours of Israel – Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, the Dead Sea. Other days, they met with Israeli musicians and producers for Hebrew pronunciation and interpretation of songs, rehearsals and group activities.
"The people here are world class. That's probably the best thing. Just being able to play music with these Israeli musicians has been a highlight for me," said Malach, who already has two albums on the market and is planning to record a third with Israeli musicians.
Of the 30 semifinalists, 14 participants were chosen to be in the finals.
Dashefsky sang Arik Einstein's Oof Gozal in the finals.
"I grew up listening to Israeli music my entire life," he said, adding that he understands the words and feels "a connection to Israel and Hebrew."
Malach looked at it somewhat differently. "Music is universal. I feel like beyond the language, you can feel something from a song even if you don't know what the words mean," Malach said. "Having said that, I did learn Hebrew throughout my formative years at Leo Baeck [Day School] and CHAT [the Anne and Max Tanenbaum Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto] in Toronto, so I can tap into the meaning of the song."
The final contest, which was broadcast live in Israel and streamed online for the global audience, gave the contestants a real audience in front of which to perform.
"Hallelujah is a new calling card. As opposed to being just another Jewish singer, I have 'Hallelujah winner' under my belt," Malach said. "I hope that this development will lead to future opportunities performing in front of Jewish audiences around the world. I also hope that the victory will lead to progress with my [original rock musical sInagogue- The Shul of Rock]. Ideally, it will be easier to open doors to producers and other theatre and entertainment professionals around the world looking to collaborate on exciting and original material."

Trend Micro encourages its employees worldwide to become involved in their immediate communities and beyond.
Whether it's building houses in the Philippines, participating in Japan earthquake relief where employee and corporate contributions came to more than $1M USD, working with local parent-teacher organizations in the United States or providing Safe Surfing e-posters to 100 schools in Belgium, Trend encourages its employees to share their time, expertise and good will.
We also encourage our employees to give as generously as they can to their communities knowing that we will match their efforts every step of the way.
In 2008 the company began setting aside 1% of the previous year's post-GAAP profit to fund its Global Citizenship programs, and today, one-quarter of all Trenders participate in Give and Match programs supporting community efforts from Texas to Ottawa to Cambodia.
Internet Safety for Kids and Families is the flagship of our social commitment programs. It combines volunteerism, funding and core expertise that we share with schools and families worldwide to safeguard their online practices.
Read on for examples of Trend's commitment in action around the world.
The Home Building program brings together employees from around the world to build homes for under privileged families in the Philippines. Since 2008 more than 250 Trend employees from North America, Europe, Japan, and other countries within Asia have taken part by helping to build more than 100 homes. Trend Micro subsidizes employee travel to the Philippines and covers all living and building costs.
In Taiwan, Trend's alliance with Techsoup provides licenses of top products such as PC-cillin to NGOs, including 96 organizations in 2010/2011.
Through the Department of Social Welfare in Taipei City we've subsidized products to low-income families for the past five years. And when our products are not enough we have donated boxes of moon cakes to aboriginal Taiwanese tribes for their Moon Festival.
Launched in 2008, our Internet Safety for Kids & Families initiative now operates across all regions. The program is designed to give children, parents, teachers, and school administrators the tools and knowledge they need to make safe and responsible decisions while online, and promote good digital citizenship among today's youth. We do this through a worldwide employee volunteer program, grants and donations to eligible organizations, strategic partnerships with organizations working to protect youth, on-site educational programs, and a robust series of online resources.
In April 2009, Trend was the first Internet security company to join the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) URL project, designed to prevent the distribution of child pornography on the Internet.
In 2010, the company joined forces with the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), the UK self-regulatory organization for combating criminal online content, primarily child sexual abuse images hosted anywhere in the world. By working with the Internet Watch Foundation, Trend Micro has expanded its ability to block access to URLs containing images and advertisements promoting online sexual abuse involving children.
Beginning with the 2010-2011 academic year, Trend Micro's Internet Safety for Kids & Families program has been delivering free tools to PTO/PTAs across the United States to assist in educating parents about Internet safety. In partnership with PTO Today, we sponsor Internet Safety Night in which more than 5,000 schools have participated since its inception. Trend volunteers are given the opportunity to present to these school communities throughout the U.S.
"What's Your Story?" is an international video competition which encourages young people to lead the way in Internet education. The competition, open to everyone aged 13 and over (including individuals and schools), aims to help parents, teachers and young people to become more aware of Internet safety, encouraging and enabling them to act safely and responsibly online.
Trend works with local universities in Taiwan to develop student talent. In 2011 Trend donated NTD$18,000,000 including equipment and servers to Taiwan National University, and another NTD$440,000 to Fu Jen Catholic University.
In Japan, Trend Micro has been hosting a "Summer Seminar" for elementary school children teaching the importance of online security since 2004. In 2011, about 70 Trenders registered as volunteer staff. There are many more Trend volunteers active in multiple countries around the world including the Philippines, Italy, France, Germany,and Argentina.
"Art against Cybercrime" is a German school project encouraging students to share, by way of artwork, their interpretation of cybercrime.
The Give and Match program provides Trenders the opportunity to extend their generosity and produce greater impacts with their charitable contributions by collaborating with their colleagues around the world.
Each year employees can nominate a non-profit philanthropic organization for consideration for 1:1 matching donations. Organizations eligible to receive matching funds generally support underserved communities with a focus toward, but not limited to, the digital gap, education, the environment, and the underprivileged.
Trenders can also initiate ad hoc Give and Match projects in the case of natural disasters and crises with major casualties (e.g. earthquake, typhoon/hurricane, fire). Recent projects include appeals to help victims of the Thailand flood, East Africa food crisis, and Japan earthquake and tsunami.
The 2012 Trend Micro Sustainability Report is the second corporate sustainability report issued by Trend Micro. By issuing the corporate sustainability reports, we showed our commitment to the stakeholders in dedication to transparency, collaborations and stakeholder engagement. We believe that through issuing sustainability reports annually, Trend Micro may procure more feedbacks from our stakeholders, which may be used to improve Trend Micro sustainable performances year by year.
Download the full report, please visit here.
As large as our impact might be on local communities, when it comes to our work habits we strive to minimize our impact on the environment.
For eight years running, Trend Micro Japan has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, a clear measurement of the company's commitment to environmental and employee practices. Only 342 companies are on the list published by Fortune Magazine and used by socially responsible investors. Validating the benefit of our commitment, Nikkei Business magazine ranked Trend Micro as the no. 9 company on its list of "Best Workplaces" in Japan. (March 1, 2010)
Since it has always been a globally dispersed company, Trend offered employees flexible work schedules and the opportunity to work from remote locations long before many other companies. Beyond improving employee productivity and retention, this flexibility allows employees to minimize the environmental impact of commuting to work.
In Europe, 50% of employees take advantage of alternate transportation; in Taiwan, cycling to work is encouraged through ample bicycle parking and employee showers; in Japan, operation "Cool Biz" greatly reduced power requirements in the aftermath of the earthquake.
Other environmentally-conscious efforts include HVAC improvements in server rooms to reduce waste and minimize energy consumption. Offices have been equipped with lighting motion sensors, recycling programs are in effect in all locations, and building maintenance practices include low VOC paints and glues.

Top Tips
Storing generator gasoline can be tricky and dangerous. Fire officials say the best course is to use the generator gasoline in your car after the storm passes, and get more fuel when the storm threatens. Experts say if you choose to store gasoline, you need to realize it is one of the most dangerous substances you will have at your home, and balance the risk of having a highly explosive chemical in your property versus the reward of not having to refill the tanks when a storm threatens.

In his email, Al Garve defends that the cause of the debt of people with children are the children themselves and proposes an idea to stop the debt and its source (according to him, the children) from generating any more debt:
"Al Garve

With us, your children will have oppurtinity for travel, and the security of a job for life(+). We have elite, high-flying, costumers world-wide who will pay good money for the company and services of your children.
That's right! You can become debt free, and your children will literally rub shoulders(and other bodily parts) with stars, royalty, and socialites from all over the world! What are you waiting for?
Click here and be rid of them!
(+) At least two weeks, but depends on the proclivities of the client."
- His name is similar to the name of Algarve, a Portuguese region, known world-wide.
- His name also bears some resemblance to the name of Al Gore, the American politician.

Thanks for sharing these photos!
I will be attending a Vespers liturgy this coming Saturday where the Kursk Root icon will be "in attendance" as it were and available for veneration. This is in Charlotte, NC. Anyone here ever had the privilege of seeing/venerating this icon before, or have any stories of miracles, etc. related to it? I've read the wiki page and some other stuff but was curious what experience anyone here might have had with it?
I'm afraid to ask this but it is a genuine and serious question: Isn't it wrong to speak of "it's miracles?" Aren't icons windows to heaven or like "portals?" God does them, not the icons.(Just in case anyone is unsure, I am not attacking or questioning icons themselves but I am fairly certain I have read what I said in some Patristic text or another and just want to be certain)
Thomas Hopko has a great new series...

Best Trolling Speeds for Offshore Angling
By Craig Lamb
A tantalizing bait rig or lure that you spent lots of time, money and effort to ready for the true test is only as good as how it's trolled. What retrieve speed and rod action are to lures in shallow water, trolling has the same importance out in the deep.
Trolling speed can make or break your offshore fishing trip. Recognizing how the boat and motor theoretically attract pelagics to your boat is a first step. Next comes finding the perfect harmony between lure presentations and trolling speed.
While there is no benchmark speed that works best you can start by recognizing all your baits and lures must work together. Here are tips used by savvy captains to get the most out of the trolling speed and lure presentation.
Quietness is a selling point for today's four-stroke outboards. Even so, the subtle vibrations they produce when under power, and especially at low RPMs used for trolling, is a turn on for pelagics.
Sound travels five times faster at sea level and under the water. Far-ranging pelagics tune into feeding opportunities with their sense of sound. Even the splash created by the hull in the rolling swells can attract the curiosity of an offshore game species.
Skirted baits are meant to stimulate the sense of sight in a predatory game fish. Get the baits into the water and increase speed until they begin to spin. Then back off the throttle until the baits swim true. Do the reverse for slow trolling. Increase speed when the baits no longer swim and begin to sink.
Different lures work best at different speeds. As you dial into those optimum speeds, record the RPM, bait and ambient water conditions in a pocket notebook. You can use those records in the future, realizing conditions might require fine-tuning of best speeds.
In either case, you want the lures to troll fast enough to impart what's commonly called a "smoke trail." When trolled at just the right speed the lures impart a long trail of bubbles or splashes of water behind them.
An ideal boat for inshore and near offshore fishing is Carolina Skiff 24 Ultra. It's set up nicely for saltwater angling too, making this Carolina Skiff the perfect coastal fishing boat for family adventures.
All of the evidence is at the bow. Plush cushions create a full U-shaped sun lounge; complete with forward-facing back rests at port and starboard. Remove the cushions and anglers have a large casting deck.
You need not go far to find more family friendly/fishing comforts. Long days on the water are given for both adventures. Forward of the console is a padded bench seat that lifts to reveal a head with a portable potty and privacy shade and clothes changing station.
Much of what you find at the bow is located aft. Three cushioned jump seats, each with flip-up backrests, provide safe, comfortable seating. Like the bow, the seating can be closed to create an aft casting deck.
Stow the bow cushions, close the aft seats and get serious about fishing. The standard twin-seat leaning post has four-rod holders. A removable cooler makes loading safe and convenient. Also, aft is an LED illuminated, aerated, insulated 20-gallon baitwell for keeping bait fresh and lively all day long.
The 24 Ultra has a length overall of 23' 9" with a beam of 96." Draft is 9" with a transom measuring 25." Fuel capacity is 78 gallons with a maximum rating of 250 horsepower.
The 24 Ultra is the apex of quality, versatility, and performance in an all-in-one package. Like all Carolina Skiff boats, it features 100 percent composite construction and is built on a 30-years and growing legacy of the finest boats in class.
Find out more about the 24 Ultra and all Carolina Skiff models at carolinaskiff.com. You can find a dealer, learn more about the brand legacy, and build a boat on the website. You can also contact Carolina Skiff and request a catalog. Join the community of Carolina Skiff followers at the Carolina Skiff Facebook Page.

It's not often Crew supporters have the chance to interact and mingle with players and staff. Ahead of the club's Opening Match on Saturday, the team held its annual Supporters' Summit on Tuesday night with special guests Crew President and General Manager Mark McCullers, Technical Director Brian Bliss, Head Coach Robert Warzycha and defenders Josh Williams and Gláuber available for questions.
The event was open to Nordecke season ticket holders and active members of supporters' groups. Fans were able to ask any question they wanted to the panel. Topics ranged from Goal 10K progress to Robert Warzycha's jacket.
"Every year that the Crew tries to do something like this, it's great to actually have that connection between fans and the Front Office, players, coaches-- the whole spectrum," Supporter Aaron Angel said. "That's what sets this team apart from everyone else, they're so close with the community and continually striving to keep that relationship open. The dialogue between the two sides is always formal, always cordial."
"It's always great interacting with the players," fellow supporter Julia Oesch added. "I'm a huge Josh Williams fan, and he knows it. He's always so cordial, all of the players are. They always want to just sit talk, give you a hug and say 'Hi.' It's always a great experience meeting Robert [Warzycha] and the Front Office. They're really relaxed and they want to get to talk to us, which is nice."
For Williams, its was a nice change of pace from typically interacting with fans through Twitter.
"You can kind of put a face to a Twitter name now," the defender said. "It's good because you don't normally get to meet fans that much. This is more of a personal setting here. I was a little nervous at first when I didn't know what they would be asking, but they handled pretty well.
"It was fun to get up there and hear some interesting stuff and some funny questions here and there."

Operator error. You have one start time only, no matter how many zones.My controller goes through my 5 zones but then starts over-I have used 3 button clearing and no times are in any other program other that a..Do I have it wired wrong?

Im not certain where to post this question so ... here goes
I have an irritrol rd600 system in my house with 3 zones.
Zone 1 (front yard) stopped functioning but the other zones worked.. i used a multimeter to check the output of the controller / timer and I get the same output on each of the zones.. approximately 20 - 24vAC when the timer tells each zone to turn on (this is relative to the vc (common) terminal.
I checked at the valve and it was a little low so i changed wire connections and it improved ( zone comes on most of the time...
My question is - is the system SUPPOSE to be outputting AC or DC to the valves...
The valves chatter - this is likely because they are getting AC from the controller...
Im guessing the controller should be outputting DC?
Can anyone tell me what their system does on these terminals..
My email address is email@example.com
I wrote the wrong email addy .. it is email@example.com

I have been living in an old single wide mobile home for the last 4 1/2 years. The previous owner died in the home and upon my moving in, almost immediately I noticed things disappearing. Small stuff like a pair of socks that I had just taken off and went to the bathroom, come back and they're gone. They didn't reappear for some months.
Since I knew about the woman who died here, Arlene, I called out to her and requested that she stop taking my things and that I wasn't an enemy. That seemed to work for awhile.
Though more unexplained disappearances and even more unexplained reappearances have happened more recently. Last year, a small altoids tin with a magnet in it , that I hide money in, that is hidden under a table and NO ONE knows about disappeared. Four days later it was back where it was supposed to be.
Now I write this because the most recent disappearance is by far the worst and it is troubling me greatly.
Just this saturday, 2 days ago, my smartphone disappeared.
I made 2 calls on it saturday morning, the last being at 10:30 am in my bedroom. I set the phone down and went about my chores. Around noon time I went to retrieve it and was unable to find it. I then used my boyfriends phone to call it, so I could find it. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I went absolutely nowhere on saturday. Nobody came over. Yesterday my boyfriend and I cleaned the bedroom top to bottom, first because it was needed and second to find the phone. We took the whole room completely apart. Nothing.
Now last week, my boyfriend's laptop went missing along with his briefcase. We searched the whole house, and note it is quite a small house, and found nothing. Four days later, his briefcase was located in the dining room. The laptop is still missing.
Regarding the laptop, my guess is that that was not Arlene but a thief, since it was found missing after we had been out of the house.
As for my phone, like I said, I didn't go anywhere and nobody came over. My house is so small that there is no way someone could come in without my knowing when I'm home. Plus, I have 2 dogs and a gated yard that encompasses both doors to the house (it's a old single-wide mobile home). The gate makes quite a noise that we always know if someone is coming in.
I have repeatedly demanded that Arlene give back my phone and have not had any luck so far. I would like to know what else I can do to stop this insanity. I don't mind her being here and I thought she had accepted us, so I don't know what has changed, if anything.
Any input would be extremely welcome!

text: Aluminum wiring is a problem in many homes, especially those that were constructed between 1965 and 1973, a period in which aluminum was cheaper than copper and not known to be a poor choice as an electrical conductor. Aluminum wiring isn't always defective, in fact, it can be acceptable if properly maintained. The problem is that due to inherent weaknesses in the metal, it will become defective faster than copper. To find out the ways in which aluminum wiring can become defective, how to identify it and some methods of correction, check out our new article on aluminum wiring.


text: Swimming lessons in Lightfoot VA are important for a child's growth and development. In some instances, children learn to swim before they can walk, this is especially true if their parents are avid swimmers. However, there are children in Virginia whose parents have never undertaken the joy of learning to swim, but it's never too late. With time and a bit of effort, even adults can learn to swim and can then pass the love of swimming along to their child. As an adult looking to learn to swim you can sign up for classes at the local Lightfoot YMCA or YWCA or even a local Lightfoot high school that has a swimming pool. There are instructors in Lightfoot VA that can teach individuals of all ages and all skill levels. If you're not in the market for taking a group swimming class and want to learn in the privacy of your own swimming pool in your own backyard, you can hire an instructor to come out and teach you there. You will want to either observe the instructor or meet with him or her prior to the class to make certain there is a good rapport between the two of you as it will make learning to swim much easier if you're taking lessons from someone you feel comfortable with.

Information by Country
Occupied Palestinian Territory: Press releases
Statement from Foreign Minister Per Stig Møller on Gaza
"It is good news that Israel has now declared a ceasefire in Gaza. Hamas must now end its attacks on Israel in order to secure peace for the civilian populations in the area. It is important that everything possible is done to secure observation of the ceasefire and to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Israel needs certainty that rockets are not again fired at the Israeli population and weapons are not smuggled into Gaza. The Palestinians must have their situation improved and the borders opened in order for goods and humanitarian aid to enter. International monitoring is needed and Denmark is ready to contribute.
The Danish government will in cooperation with the relevant countries in the region and the EU closely consider ways to support the ceasefire. I very much hope that we can now look forward. Gaza must be reconstructed. And the peace process must get back on track as soon as possible. The cynical plan of Hamas to destroy the peace process must not succeed. It must be clear that war does not pay off, only peace does. Israel must also contribute to demonstrate this."

I bought this lonely, unwanted twin size headboard from the thrift store a month ago:
I've seen a bunch of headboard revamps around the blogisphere so I snatched that baby up.
It was on CLEARANCE. At a thrift store. What did I pay? $2.00 + tax.
That's right, TWO BUCKEROOS! The thrifty lady who dwells inside of me rejoiced.
I hauled it over to my parents house and cajoled my father into slicing off the legs for me.
I bet you can guess what I did next, right???
Sand, prime and spray paint. It's pretty much my new motto.
Then took a two week break (*ahem* FOUR) where I hemmed and hawed over how to finish up my project in an adorable, yet wallet-friendly (read: FREE) way.
First up, installed un-free (booooo) yet functional hooks:
Then hemmed and hawed some more before I personalized it and threw it on the wall. Well, not threw, but ya know what I mean.
Meet the newest revamped member of our family:
Why yes, I DID painstakingly cut out and decoupage every last itty bitty letter:
Oh, THANK YOU for noticing that it matches Wally:
My my, aren't we observant today!
Previously under used and not very gaze-worthy towel bar replaced with uber cute, functional (and thrifty) hooded towel hanger. Extremely tiny kids bathroom punched up with some sassy, low-profile functionality.
And yes, I only have TWO children. What can I say, we give LOTS of baths around here which creates many towel needs. That, and I actually finished the laundry and was thrilled to be able to use my newly revamped...uh...thing. Headboardhoodedtowelhangerthingymajig.
However, at least I now
I have noticed that the beautiful apple green clashes HORRIBLY with my contractor dark yellow-beige bathroom walls...thus I will GLADLY welcome paint color suggestions!
P.S. There are TONS of DIY/Thrifty Finds/Transformation blog parties this week. So go! Go NOW and check em out!

Share simulation settings and results with a group (students in a class)
Is it possible to share a simulation with a group (rather than typing in ids for each individual)?
What might be convenient for instructors is to set up parameters in a simulation a certain way, and even run a certain set of simulations, and leave the tool running (unless there is another way.) Then, in the "Share with" box, we could type in the name of the group that all of the students in the class have joined.
This way I could set up assignments and experiments for the students with my own starting point.

text: I have four VPSs on which I want to deploy a multiserver ISPConfig3 installation. This is my plan: Server 1: ISPConfig with hosting, mail and DB only for my domain. Server 2: Primary Nameserver Server 3: Secondary Nameserver Server 4: Web, Mail and DB for resellers & clients I've tried following "Installing A Multiserver Setup With Dedicated Web, Email, DNS And MySQL Database Servers On Debian 5.0 With ISPConfig 3" but there are obvious differences in how I want to configure my system. There are also obvious differences between Debian 5.0 & Ubuntu 12.10 in how to install/configure some items. Could I just follow "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 12.10 (Apache2, BIND, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3)" for servers 1 & 4, obviously joining server 4 to the multiserver setup? The nameservers are pretty easy to figure out. Thank you, Chris

Norma,Irrespective of the size of pizza you and Trenton Bill were served at De Lorenzo/Sloan, assuming that the two dough balls you purchased are for 14" and 16" pizzas, which are the two pizza sizes that Rick De Lorenzo mentioned to you recently at his Facebook page, the corresponding thickness factors are as follows:11.2 ounces (14"): TF = 11.2 (3.14159 x 7 x 7) = 0.0727616.7 ounces (16"): TF = 16.7/(3.14159 x 8 x 8) = 0.08306In actual practice, unless one uses a scale to weigh the dough balls, their weights can vary from one dough ball to another, as can the sizes of the pizzas made from the dough balls. For example, if 11.2 ounces of dough was used to make your 13" pizza, and assuming no shrinkage during baking, the thickness factor would be 11.2/(3.14159 x 6.5 x 6.5) = 0.08438.Peter
Norma, in using your recipe I was able to turn out a great pizza in the Blackstone oven. I cooked for my parents, and I believe they preferred this pizza to the Emergency Lehmann dough.You've also converted me to applying sauce after the cheese. Something about that just works for me.I'd like to try this recipe with a sourdough starter, but I'm not really clear how I would convert over with any degree of reliability.DenaliPete
Norma,You could use the smaller dough ball but trim it back to 10 ounces and make a 14" pizza out of it. That might be a good test of the crust thickness, that is, to see if it is closer to the thickness of the crust you had at De Lorenzo/Robbinsville.Peter
Norma,A typical bag of Grande shredded cheese is as shown below. The contents of the bag may vary, as well as the product designation, but the overall appearance is pretty much the same for all of the Grande shredded mozzarella cheeses and blends. Peter
We need to crack the code!!!! Now that Norma has the dough balls...hopefully she can reverse engineer!!! I find it curious the notion they mixed red pack + 6-in-1...Is this confirmed?
My job is to keep us focused and on track. That is what I do. But, that said, there might be a benefit to Norma conducting a hydration bake test on a sample of the De Lorenzo Sloan dough to see if we can calculate the hydration of the Sloan dough. There is no way of knowing, of course, buy that might shed some light on what De Lorenzo/Robbinsville is doing in the way of hydration. Norma could also conduct a gluten mass test but I believe we already know what flour De Lorenzo/Sloan is using. Peter
I don't recall all that writing on the two bags of shredded cheese the pieman opened at De Lorenzo's in Robbinsville. I only recall some writing on the center of the plastic bag. Thanks for the photo. Maybe I can look at Google images to see if there are photos of the Sorrento shredded part-skim mozzarella in a plastic bag.
If you want me do a hydration test on part of the big dough ball I can do that later this week. I also could conduct a gluten mass test if you think it would be valuable in any way.
Norma,You should use your best judgment on the amounts of cheese and sauce to use with the Sloan dough. You might look at the Robbinsville photos to get a feel as to the amounts of cheese and sauce to use, and also on a relative basis. But, in any event, the amount of cheese should be used sparingly. As for the tomatoes, I would use two parts of the RedPack whole tomatoes in purée to one part 6-in-1 ground tomatoes with extra heavy purée. These are the canned tomatoes that you showed in photos in an earlier post. Since it does not appear that De Lorenzo/Robbinsville used the top oven/bottom oven bake method, or vice versa, I would use your deck oven at work as you normally would but with a bake time along the lines mentioned in your visit to De Lorenzo/Sloan. I think you want the bake time to be long enough to get the charring of the crust without turning the pizza into a cracker. So, you may have to carefully monitor the bake temperature. Congratulation on getting the Bakers Best flour from General Mills. Once you report back on your results with the Sloan clone pizza, hopefully I will be in a better position to come up with a Robbinsville clone dough formulation for you to try with the new flour.Peter
There also was other brown dough balls right beside the other dough balls.
Norma,I was a step ahead of you. Earlier today, I did a search to identify foodservice versions of the Sorrento mozzarella cheese, including looking at Google Images, and came up empty. However, the parent company of Sorrento is fond of using the color red in the packaging materials for many of its retail bramds of its mozzarella cheeses.Peter
Norma,What are brown dough balls? Did you mean 'blown' dough balls?Peter
Norma,A hydration bake test might be useful, if only to give us a general idea as to what De Lorenzo/Sloan might be using for a hydration value. Since we have a good idea as to the flour that De Lorenzo/Sloan is using, there is no need to do a gluten mass test. However, if you would like to do the test to see how the GM Best Bakers flour stacks up gluten wise with other flours in the general protein category, such as the KABF, then the gluten mass test might be useful.Peter
Norma,I forgot to ask you about salt in the De Lorenzo/Robbinsville crust. I had asked about salt levels before in the Trenton thread but came away with the impression that the De Lorenzo/Hudson crusts were not overly salty. Can you give me your perception of the Robbinsville salt quantity?Peter
Norma,If you go back to the original Robbinsville photos, you will see salt containers in the regular tube-like shape. An example is the photo at http://www.delorenzostomatopies.com/images/dtp-shoot08-untouched/pages/100_3158_JPG.htm . I would imagine that the same type of salt is used for the dough as for other purposes.How and when you defrost the frozen dough ball will depend on when you plan to use the dough ball at market. Frozen dough balls can be defrosted in the refrigerator overnight for use the next day, or for several hours at ambient temperature. The actual defrost time at ambient temperature will, of course, depend on that temperature. Of course, you can also use a combination of defrost time in the refrigerator and at ambient temperature.Peter

The judge in the Anthony Sowell trial wrapped things up for the day just before 4 PM Thursday.
Earlier in the day the prosecution began calling more witnesses in the murder trial of accused serial killer's trial.
The first witness called by the prosecution was Gladys Wade, who claims to have been attacked by Sowell back in 2008. Sowell was never charged in this incident. In court, Wade would only face the jury during her testimony.
Wade says she met Sowell on the street and he said Merry Christmas to her and asked her if she wanted some beer. She says she said no and he grabbed her then dragged her to the third floor of his home.
Wade says she fought him off and ran across the street to a restaurant for help and they told her to get out.
When asked to identify Sowell, Wade broke down in tears.
In cross-examination, the defense paints a picture of a woman with her share of legal and drug problems.
Wade is reluctant to answer the defense's questions. At one point, she tells the judge, "I don't want to talk to this man anymore. He's hurting me."
Officer Kevin Walker took the stand next. Officer Walker was the officer Wade flagged down on the street after she says Sowell attacked her.
Police went to the Sowell home that's where Officer Walker says he found blood inside and outside of the home.
Sowell was arrested that night, but no charges were ever filed.
Sowell is accused of murdering eleven women on the city's east side and stashing their bodies inside and outside of his Imperial Avenue home back in late October 2009.
Wednesday, dramatic testimony was heard from a woman who claimed to have escaped one of Sowell's violent attacks in 2008 and saw a decapitated body inside of the home.
Family members also spoke out about their search for missing loved ones and what they thought was lack of concern from Cleveland Police.

VoIP and broadband retailer MyNetFone has announced that it will acquire Melbourne ISP Connexus for $4.75 million. Earlier this month MyNetFone picked up IP telephony company CallStream for $600,000.
MyNetFone said the deal is expected to add gross revenue of $5.2 million per annum and add $1.6 million to the company's pre-tax profit over the next 12 months.
CEO Rene Sugo said in a statement that the deal will let MyNetFone become a "one stop comms shop" for Australian small to medium enterprises.
Connexus currently has around 1000 SMB customers and 600 residential broadband customers. The company's statement said it saw opportunities to up-sell the current Connexus customer base to the voice products currently offered by MyNetFone.
The VoIP company completed its acquisition of wholesale voice carrier Symbio Networks in February.
In July MyNetFone announced it had won a contract worth up to $20 million dollars to provide VoIP services to the Tasmanian government.

Book Prize Blog: Circulation – William Harvey's Revolutionary Idea, by Thomas Wright
Next up on our Book Prize Blog is 'Circulation', Thomas Wright's biography of the seventeenth century physician William Harvey. Holly Story dissects the book.
In Thomas Wright's biography, Dr William Harvey leaps from the page as a man of insatiable curiosity whose interest in nature, anatomy, people, the city of London, the countryside of Kent, the court of the King, drove his life's work.
The book is divided into "chronological chapters", providing the narrative of Harvey's life and work, interspersed with "thematic essays". These include an account of the history of anatomy and of the cultural significance of the heart in the seventeenth century. It is an unusual way to construct a biography, but by placing Harvey's work within these contexts, Wright shows us why his discoveries seemed so radical and so disruptive to his contemporaries. It's a convincing method. The notion that Harvey's was a "revolutionary" idea may at first seem hyperbolic, but by the end of the book I was indeed considering the possibility that Harvey unwittingly abetted the overthrow of the monarchy.
Wright also invests a great deal of time in elucidating the methods and processes by which Harvey arrived at his theory of circulation. Throughout the book Wright is careful not to give an anachronistic account of Harvey's 'scientific' experiments. Instead he emphasises the role of Aristotelian philosophy in Harvey's theories, explaining that for the seventeenth century thinker "theory invariably informed and preceded observation…the universal truth coming before the individual fact". After the enlightenment, this model was increasingly reversed, with empirical observation forming the basis of most scientific enquiry. The role of philosophy and imaginative thought in the history of science is, Wright comments, often underplayed or ignored in modern accounts, as though it were a shameful anomaly in the story of scientific discovery.
In contrast, Wright does not shy away from acknowledging and even celebrating the importance of imagination to Harvey's work. Two of the book's eight essays are given over to exploring 'The landscape of Harvey's imagination'. In these essays Wright explores the interplay between natural philosophy and poetry in the period. The poet and preacher John Donne features heavily, George Chapman makes an appearance, as do Ben Jonson and even William Blake – a notoriously vehement opponent of empiricism.
For me, these essays were a tantalising glimpse of how the physician's consideration of the human form, could have influenced, or been influenced by, the poetic forms of his period. John Donne spoke of the body as "a little world made cunningly"; he could just as well have been talking about a sonnet. These forays may not be to everyone's taste, but I enjoyed being invited to explore beyond Harvey's research chamber.
Wright presents his book as "the biography of an idea as much as it is the biography of a man". In fact, I think the book's reach is even broader. It traces the evolution of Harvey's theory of circulation, but it also places that theory within the evolution of philosophical and scientific thought in the seventeenth century. And while we contemplate the philosophies of Bacon or Descartes, Wright gently prompts us to turn the mirror on ourselves:
"Today…the laboratory has…become the only arena in which 'truth' can be faithfully tested. Moreover, many people now regard the brain as a mere camera obscura on to which a 'true' image of reality is mechanically projected via our eyes.".
It leaves us to wonder – is there still room for imagination in modern science?

AG: Give vet tax break to active duty families
ALBANY — A lucrative property tax break for veterans could be extended to New York families with a member on active duty.
The Tax Relief for Active Military Service bill would allow active duty service members or their spouses to benefit from a 10-percent tax exemption based on the assessed value of their home. The exemption would be capped at $10,000 for most homes.
Currently, families can only get the tax break once a member leaves military service.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who's pushing the bill, says Thursday there are nearly 25,000 people living in New York on active duty.
The organization Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America supports the measure.
The bill already had several sponsors in the state Legislature, which could consider it as early as January.

America's largest ex-gay ministry, Exodus International, announced June 19 it would close its doors in the coming year. The announcement followed an apology from Alan Chambers, president of Exodus, for harm that had been done to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual and queer (LGBTQ) people involved with Exodus affiliated ministries in the past.
"For quite some time," said Chambers, "we've been imprisoned in a worldview that's neither honoring toward our fellow human beings nor biblical."
The decision to close Exodus' doors follows a long process of soul-searching and deliberation on the part of Exodus leadership. During the past year, Chambers has been involved in dialoguing with the gay community, particularly those who identify as "ex-gay survivors." These are people who were involved in ministries like Exodus who felt shamed, traumatized or scandalized by their experiences. Chambers has also become more vocal in claiming his own continuing same-sex attractions, and has admitted that in his years of ministry he has not encountered evidence to support the notion of orientation change.
End of ex-gay movement?
This reversal is one of a series of recent setbacks that seem to many observers to signal the end of the ex-gay movement. John Paulk, formerly a leader in both Exodus and Love Won Out — another ex-gay ministry — apologized for his involvement in ex-gay ministries earlier this year after revealing he has same-sex attraction. In January, the California Legislature enacted a resolution banning conversion or orientation change therapies for minors. Although many former Exodus ministries will be continuing under the banner of the Restored Hope Network, it seems unlikely that the ex-gay movement will be able to recover.
◗ Catholic group gave man courage to come out in a Catholic way. Page 14
One of the major complaints of people formerly involved in ex-gay ministries is that they were made to feel that their ongoing same-sex attractions were evidence of a lack of faith. Chambers himself apologized for having denied his own ongoing attractions for many years. "I was afraid to share them as readily and easily as I do today. They brought me tremendous shame, and I hid them in the hopes they would go away."
Other ex-gays have reported feeling pressure to claim a higher degree of change than actually experienced. Many felt that homosexual attraction itself, even if not acted upon, made them displeasing in the eyes of God.
Chambers addressed those concerns in his apology, but stood firm in his beliefs about same-sex attraction.
"I cannot apologize for my deeply held biblical beliefs about the boundaries I see in Scripture surrounding sex, but I will exercise my beliefs with great care and respect for those who do not share them," he wrote. "I cannot apologize for my beliefs about marriage. But I do not have any desire to fight you on your beliefs or the rights that you seek. My beliefs about these things will never again interfere with God's command to love my neighbor as I love myself."
'Objectively disordered'
There are significant differences between the Church's approach to homosexuality and that of Exodus.
Key differences between Catholic teaching and the ex-gay approach include the following:
◗ The Church does not teach that homosexual attractions are sinful or that they must be eliminated to achieve sanctity.
◗ Celibacy has a long tradition in the Church, and Catholic ministries do not see heterosexual marriage as the best or most likely outcome for most homosexual persons.
◗ The Church consistently acknowledges that for many people homosexuality is a lifelong cross.
Father Paul Check, executive director of Courage, the Catholic apostolate that ministers to people with same-sex attraction, told Our Sunday Visitor, "Courage does not consider itself an ex-gay organization ... [This language] is not consistent with our anthropology; neither is the idea of entirely vanquishing homosexual inclinations consistent with what we would regard as a prudent understanding of same-sex attraction."
Within Catholic theology, homosexual sexual desire is considered to be objectively disordered, however, it is not considered to be exceptionally disordered. It is simply one of innumerable manifestations of concupiscence, a spiritual disorder that affects all human beings as a consequence of the Fall.
Potential harm
This does not mean, however, that Catholics and other Christians have always been able to avoid the errors of ex-gay ideology. Warren Throckmorton, a Christian psychologist and expert in the ex-gay movement, observes that the politics of the culture wars can make these narratives very attractive.
"If gays can change, then the whole idea of orientation being fixed and immutable, which is an important political point, then that would be undermined," he said. "You hear this still sometimes 'every ex-gay is proof that change is possible,' meaning that legal claims involving gay rights should not be held to strict scrutiny."
These misunderstandings always are dangerous, but they are particularly harmful to relationships between parents and their homosexual children. Chambers acknowledged that one way in which Exodus had caused harm was by promoting therapies that stigmatized or blamed parents. Many of the most heart-breaking stories from ex-gay survivors are those of children who were forced into therapy by their parents and who felt that they could not receive parental love unless they were able to overcome same-sex attractions.
David Pruden, vice president of operations for the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, which provides therapeutic treatment for unwanted homosexual attraction, describes these situations as "a car wreck."
"There couldn't be anything less likely to help," he said. "When we have the occasional parent call our office, we try to say there is nothing more useless in the world that you could be doing right now than pushing them into counseling. We don't support that and we don't encourage it and we do everything that we can to help them understand that this is destructive."
In a statement after the Exodus announcement, NARTH emphasized its commitment to helping individuals with unwanted same-sex attraction.
"NARTH continues to affirm that the experience of thousands of clients with unwanted homosexual attraction and the licensed therapists who serve them demonstrates that trained, experienced and ethical professional clinicians play a vital role in successful treatment processes," the statement said.
"There is no cure for people's thoughts or feelings or attractions or emotions," Pruden said. Ethical therapies are not intended to make a person "straight," but rather to heal emotional trauma and help resolve the conflicts between deeply held beliefs and sexual desires.

If we fill the 3tech need by free agency, and lose branch
Do we pick Greene, Fluker, Okafor, Short, or J Williams?
( I didn't include the top WR, DE, DT as I think they will be gone)
Points / Counterpoints
1/ Greene - I think seamless fit in our defense. Smart, athletic student of the game and good locker room presence. We may be able to trade up with our second pick and get him.
I like Malcom Smith a lot... Not sure if the team sees him as a starter. Would there be a large enough upgrade between these two to justify a first on Greene?
2/ Fluker- Wow! Love him at RT and especially how he gets to the second level. I know he is a mauler but I think he is agile enough to fit in our ZBS. He will not be there when we pick in the second and possibly the first. I DO NOT want him to go to the Niners - I think he would be their RG ( Iupati /Fluker). I think Giacomi did very well the second half of the season however. If drafted, could be a huge upgrade at RG. However, is Warford (KY) after a great Senior bowl game that far behind Fluker? I think we would have to trade up into early second to get him.
3/ Okafor - I've never seen him play so I would appreciate input. I know he showed good burst off the edge at the senior bowl. I get Lawrence Jackson vibes when I read about him though. He apparently has a great build , long arms and heavy hands.
4/ Short - Good burst, strength and motor. Do we expect a large impact fom the 5-6 th rated DT though?
5/ Jesse Williams - Would love him to anchor our Defensive line. Would fill a large gap if Branch leaves.
So, here's who I think we pick and why...
With the 25th pick the Seahawks select.... DJ Fluker
Trade up in the second round ( which may involve Flynn) to draft Jessie Williams (Plan A) or Greene ( Plan B).
I think there are plenty of solid players and super sleepers (which have been discussed elsewhere) at WR ,DE / DT, and TE for Schneider / Carroll to nab.
Go Seahawks!!
