Sung to the chorus of "The 12 Days of Christmas":
Four whales together, three trios swimming, two pairs a-pairing and a set of single graaaaay whales.
What a sight it must have been Tuesday off the Southern California coast for teams of volunteers and researchers tracking the migration of gray whales south for the winter.
And the jubilation was clear in the online posting by the American Cetacean Society's Los Angeles chapter, which on Nov. 28 spotted one of the first gray whales heading to Mexico, part of its 14,000-mile roundtrip voyage. It is one of the longest migrations known to man.
We've asked the dedicated whale counters for more details about the whale party seen from the team's station on Point Vicente Interpretive Center's patio, but for now, we'll share their ebullient experience verbatim:
"Message from the observers: 'Wow, what a great day! Despite near gale force winds that that made our finding and tracking whales difficult, we spotted NINETEEN grays today; we have NEVER seen 19 grays on one day this early in the season! This brings us up to 65 grays for this season; we now have more grays than we have had during the entire month of December for (18) of the last twenty-eight seasons!
"We had one pod of four whales, three trios, two pairs, and two singles. We saw flukes on three of the eight sightings. At least two fin whales came by about the same time as some of the gray whales, so we needed to be careful to keep these sightings separate. We also spotted one pod of common dolphin. Our day ended with a nice green flash—plus a small whirlwind out in the water!'"
Nevertheless, it's way too early to tell if this will be a record season, according to Census Director Alisa Schulman-Janiger.
The gray whale migration is one of the longest known to man, averaging 10,000-14,000 miles round-trip between the Bering and Chukchi seas to the Baja California lagoons. The 30- to 40-ton baleen whales can grow up to 50 feet in length.
The Palos Verdes Peninsula-based annual Gray Whale Census and Behavior Project, now in its 30th year, began Dec. 1. It is exactly what it sounds like: counting gray whales on their north and south migration trips. Last season, volunteers using binoculars and scopes spotted 672 southbound gray whales, and 1,133 northbound gray whales, according to data provided by Census Director Alisa Schulman-Janiger.
Volunteers are still being sought for the count of gray whales. For more information please contact Schulman-Janiger at email@example.com.

Please note the kick-off time for this match has changed from that originally advertised. This game will now kick-off at 4.30pm. .
London Irish
Fixture Type: Aviva Premiership
Match Date: Mon 27 Dec 2010
Kick Off: 16:30
Venue: Twickenham
Referee: Andrew Small
TV Match Official: Graham Hughes
Assistant Referee: Stuart Terheege
Assistant Referee: Peter Huckle
Paddy Lennon reports from Twickenham Stadium.
His diligence and anticipation was to pay off handsomely as London Irish, to the bemusement of their many supporters in the superb 74,212 crowd, provided the former All Black with ample opportunities to kick for goal during this important Aviva Premiership match.
Evans did not disappoint the Harlequins supporters. He finished the match with nine successful kicks at goal out of ten attempts, a 23 point haul that sent the Exiles to their eighth successive defeat in all competitions.
On paper there was little to choose between the two starting line-ups, if anything London Irish was the more experienced. That advantage was left in the changing room as the men in green proceeded to gift their old rivals 18 first half points by conceding a sequence of penalties from which the accurate Evans duly made his neighbours pay.
The Exiles' loyal supporters were left to ponder why experienced, international players did not get to grips with referee Andrew Small's interpretation of the laws as they persistently fell foul of his decisions.
Unable to establish sustained ball control or field position, the Exiles were forced to live off scraps of possession and that does not suit their style of play.
Big name players failed to make an impact; instead it was Harlequins young guns that had the better of the exchanges.
Evans and his opposite number Chris Malone dominated the scoreboard throughout. The former All Black kicked six out of seven penalty kicks at goal in the first half; Malone responded with four from four to leave the score 18-12 at the break.
While Irish showed more purpose in the opening minutes of the second half, the fact that they had to play with 14 men for the first nine minutes due to Bob Casey's sin-binning in the final minute of the first half, limited their effectiveness.
With both defences snuffling each other's attacking initiatives comfortably, the more the game continued the odds increased on one, at most two, turning points deciding the outcome.
By the end of the third quarter with Evans having kicked seven penalty goals to Malone's six, the crowd lost patience with the limited on-pitch spectacle and turned to the dreaded Mexican Wave for entertainment. The cacophony produced by the wave(s) impacted more positively on the home team who attacked with more purpose.
The decisive turning point of the match occurred in the 69th minute; Harlequins attacked through midfield, confronted by the Irish defence, centre Jordan Turner-Hall for once opted to kick and sent a well weighted grubber chip through the oncoming defenders. Quins' outside centre George Lowe was quickest to respond and raced through to touchdown for what proved to be the only try of the match. Evans added to the extras to give his team a crucial two score lead of 10 points.
London Irish responded by mounting a series of sustained attacks in the Harlequins' 22 and arguably played their best rugby of the match. But it proved to be another case of too little, too late as the home defence rallied and kept the Exiles at bay until referee Small's whistle brought proceedings to a close.
Speaking after the match London Irish Head Coach Toby Booth said, "We have had a wretched run of results and I won't hide away from the fact but we are only half way through the season. We are obviously doing a lot of things to make sure this doesn't continue and still we haven't found the formula. It will be back to the drawing board but we will try not to be too over-reactive.
"The realism of what we have been through has left a scar. But we have to dust ourselves down because it is not going to right itself. We have to look at how and why and when we can do things better and I will certainly not shy away from that challenge."
Scorers: Harlequins: Try: Lowe (69); Conversion: Evans. Penalty goals: Evans 7 (5, 13, 19, 25, 35, 39, 53. London Irish: Penalty goals: Malone 6 (12, 17, 27, 37, 45, 58).
Scoring sequence (Harlequins first): 3-0, 3-3, 6-3, 6-6, 9-6, 12-6, 12-9, 15-9, 15-12, 18-12 (half-time) 18-15, 21-15, 21-18, 28-18.
Harlequins: 15. M Brown, 14. T Williams, 13. G Lowe, 12. J Turner-Hall, 11. U Monye, 10. N Evans, 9. D Care (sin-bin: 58-68)(rep: W Skinner, 69), 1. J Marler, 2. J Gray, 3.

Trophy guide:
How to get the Maximum Amount of Posse Members(8)
- Related Trophy: Posse Up!
- Posted Dec 13th 2012 by galactic_cowboy3
This trophy is easier then it seems however, it can take a while to get. Sometimes player can be "jerks" and not join your posse but you have to give this trophy time and faith. "Good things come to those who wait" is a good classification to this trophy. So lets cut to the chase, you must have the maximum amount of posse members which is 8. After you get 8 people to join your posse you won't be able to invite anymore people due to the fact that your posse is full. The best way to get this trophy is by entering Multiplayer Game Modes, Gang Matches is a great example. Join a Gang Match lobby then simply invite everybody who inhabits it. Sometimes there won't be a lot of people, there's two options when it comes to that: 1. you can wait 2. you can join another match, I'd suggest 2 since there's a better chance of finding more people. If nobody joins your posse back out and join a new session. Keep on repeating the cycle until maximum amount of members join your posse. I found this trophy to be a time processing complication but once you get the total amount of people you need in your posse, the trophy will pop, and there's you bronze trophy. Hope this helps!
This applies to any Game Mode in Multiplayer Freeroam, Gangmatches, etc.
Thank You! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

She was going so fast she crashed through the barriers at the end of the track and careened into a nearby building.
Amazingly, no one in that building was hurt. However, the woman was injured and is now under arrest.

Hi Michael: I just saw this post today (Dec. 21).
My clients are mostly smaller/medium restaurants that are new to social media. I create 'starter' kits for them - setting up the profile, gathering followers and following appropriate local Tweeters. I also start them off with a series of tweets/posts that will help them start a dialog (relevant 'voice' for their business). I then either continue posting for them or train them how to do it themselves.
But the social media that I use and recommend are the basics: Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Twitter & Facebook are obvious - most of their customers use it. LinkedIn because the chef and/or owner profiles have recently become important, and they help past employees stay in touch with a constantly moving management pool.
The other tool I recommend is Yelp. Yes, really. We have an active community in the Pac NW that uses is properly. Also Yelp has a lot of free tools that help owners 'see' what is going on with their online presence. (We have a couple of great Yelp community managers that are very visible).
Other than that, I'm sorry to say, is just a lot of static for the small/medium restaurant owner. Foursquare Gowalla, etc. are probably much better for an already very active and larger restaurant.
Contact me if you have questions. I am interested to hear what this survey shows us.
I work with small restaurants as well; social media creates an interesting catch-22. The owners tend to think "why should I pay someone else to set this up; we can do it ourselves." Well, yes, they can of course. But they (generally) aren't. Or if they did, they often don't keep it up. With all the avenues out there for social interaction, I think the key is picking one or two platforms to start, and keep it current. It's a far worse thing to start an account and basically abandon it than to not be on that media at all.
Once they commit to keeping one form up to date and do it successfully, they can move on to another. I know there are people who will sell an aggregator or multiple platform responder, but that can miss the point in my book. Take linking your Twitter and Facebook feeds, for example. If you post the same message to both, you are either shortchanging your FB (by limiting yourself to 140 characters) or forcing your followers to click the link when you push an entry out to the 420 character FB limit. Would you run the identical ad on TV as radio? Of course not - different market segments are being targeted. The same is true of Twitter and FB.
For me, the idea is to get on a platform and use it to build relationships. Get people involved and talking, don't just dump specials on them. Say interesting things, comment on posts and get them to respond. It is SOCIAL media, after all...
Time is always a consideration, not just for restaurant people but any small biz owner. As opposed to blogging (since many people don't think they can write well enough or often enough to support a blog) - try video blogging. I've rec'd it to several clients; yet to have a taker as they are intimidated by having their face out there on the net. Yet their pictures are on the website, they greet customers in person - it really personalizes them. Their character traits (good and bad) can come out on video and people will recognize them more often. Once a week, make a dish on camera. Show a kitchen trick. People will love it!
This whole topic is something I'm passionate about - the tools are there for restaurant folks to build their brand and become fixtures in their communities. Getting them to see it that way and not as another hassle and/or timesuck is another issue entirely... ;-)
In my talks with restaurant owners and managers, Social Media is "too new" or several say they won't pay for it, citing the expense. I counter with what are you using (advertising and marketing wise) ? I further ask, what are you expecting to get that Social Media can't get at a much lower investment (and really time) cost.
I also have asked why all the "coupons" and the ads in the "throw away" newspaper inserts ? I have seen these for years. The response is always "It's what the customer wants (discounts and coupons); we're under contract, on why
they advertise in the throwaway papers. I also know restaurants that will pay thousands of dollars in radio (sometimes television) each year, expecting the same result.
I remember(motivational speaker) Tony Robbins saying something about a bug on the windshield. I think the same analogy applies to restaurants and the lack of accepting Social Media in mainstream marketing efforts.
First of all we set up the basic social media sites and linked them together. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and a blog. We manage their sites, posting interesting events, beautiful pictures of the scenery, pictures of the guest and employees and videos of the work being done. This helps to keep Cooks Lobster House in front its customers. It keeps the customer interested and feeling that they are a part of the business.
Joining community organizations and giving your time to help the the area that you do business in can generate big rewards. Cook's Lobster House was awarded the Mid Coast Maine Big Business of The Year Award in 2010. That award came about because Social Media Connected kept Cook's Lobster House connected with the chamber and promoted Cooks as deserving the award. Cooks deserved the award but would not have been recognized if they had not been involved and committed to the community. Networking, meeting the people that also do business in your area can lead to great contacts and increased business traffic.
One of the things that I have found that has helped to drive traffic to Cooks Lobster House is showing the area that surrounds them including the natural beauty and the local businesses that the guest might be able to enjoy while visiting Cook's.
The use of blogs for highlighting the walking trails of the area draws a great deal of interest as well as the blog that lists the hotels, campgrounds, and Inns in the area. Give your prospective customer more reasons for using your business. Make sure to provide links to and from all of your sites so you don't lose them.
People love to belong, to have a sense of being an important part of something. To help the guests of Cook's feel that sense of importance we created a club that gives rewards and incentives for frequenting Cook's. This is a great tool for Cooks because it allows the employees and management to get personal with the guest, learning their names and obtaining their emails for newsletters.
Social Media is being social. It takes commitment and a belief that you have a product that the public wants. Engage and show off your company as much as you can through the many channels available to you and don't forget to LISTEN to your customers.
Social Media means interacting with guest and community both on line using the latest sites like Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Linkedin, Youtube, Flicker and email lists. Social media also refers to face to face interaction with the guest and community. Joining local organizations like the chamber, business groups and associations.
For more information or help with your social media setup visit my site at: Social Media Connected
Social media is a powerful tool in marketing, especially since everyone is on the internet now. I wouldn't recommend just one marketing channel online, but I would recommend a variety of use to help make the brand or service more familiar with the audience. Recently, I just went onto youtube to watch some spoof videos with some friends and FastCasual came up in an advertisement before the video (i've heard of fastcasual, and this imagery made it more comfortable for me to join). Also, There are plenty of ways to draw in more foot traffic to a concrete location, with Facebooks "checking-in" application you could try to make a contest like Dunkin Donuts did with offering coupons to those who just "check-in" and create more awareness of your website or retail location. Its all about create brand ambassadors, not just brand loyalty, but people who sell your product simply because they love it.
Not sure if this helped answer your question. The most you should do to promote your brand or service is to talk about it on all platforms of marketing. (twitter, facebook, linkedin, forums, blogs, whatever gets the audience minds engaging in your product.

Three arrested in fight outside Manchester bar
MANCHESTER - A man trying to break up a fight between two women near a downtown bar ended up with a swollen and bruised back after he was hit with a hammer from behind.
The fight happened about 1:50 a.m. outside W.R. Taverna, 201 Merrimack St. According to police, several people were fighting in a lot at 456 Union St. but most stopped when they saw police. Two women, however, continued fighting and only stopped after they were pepper-sprayed, police said.
Police arrested Vanessa Negron, 33, of 662 Harvard St., and Marian Reyes, 23, of 283 Bridge St., and charged them with disorderly conduct.
Jose Perez, 28, of 662 Harvard St. - the same address as Negron - had tried to separate the two woman and was hit in the back by a man wielding a drywall hammer.
Witnesses identified the assailant as Miguel Torres, 23, of 283 Bridge St. - the same address as Reyes. He was arrested and charged with second-degree assault.
Police recovered the hammer from underneath a parked vehicle where witnesses said Torres hid it.

You've seen the style a thousand times...and chances are modern photographer Julius Shulman (1910-2009) had something to do with that.
Following up on Cori's post Design in Style: Mid-Century Modern Roundup from yesterday, Mid-century Modernism is one of the most popular and recognizable design styles today (and one that we love!). One of the most common subsets of the style is California Modern, a style of residential architecture characterized by glass walls, oversized eaves and severe geometries, most commonly found in horizontal cities like Palm Springs and Los Angeles. These structures represent the quintessential post-war American Dream and for Mid-century Modern fans, the designers and architects of these homes are household names: Eames, Schindler, Neutra, Lautner, even Lloyd Wright.
Shulman has photographed the most iconic Mid-century residences of the last seventy years, and his uncanny ability to give soul to these stark spaces brings up an interesting question: does a great subject make a great photograph, or vice versa?
His images have immortalized the work of John Lautner (pictured above) and Richard Neutra (pictured below)...
...bringing to light these striking edifices, not to mention the furniture within them. The impact of Mid-century thinking influences home decor design to this day.
Zuo Liftoff Black Dining Table, Holtkoetter Satin White and Satin Nickel Tripod Floor Lamp
Not all of Shulman's photos included human subjects, but when they did, his models exuded the composed cool that came to define the Mid-century aesthetic.
The California Modern lifestyle was, at least on the surface, one of extreme leisure, with cocktails and swimming pools featuring prominently. But it was also one that indicated a tectonic shift in perception, from Modernism as an abstruse European design philosophy to a populist aesthetic that could be mass produced and consumable. To buy modern floor lamps and furniture was suddenly as easy as picking up groceries. And with Mid-century Modern designs now available more than ever today, we are all the beneficiaries.
We may never credit a single mid-century furniture or building design to Julius Shulman, but we might all want to thank him for turning the camera - and in the process, many of us - on to this revolutionary look.

Today's Google "doodle" depicts colourful elements key to the methods of Montessori education. The fun graphics is in commemoration of the 142nd birthday of Maria Montessori who is of course known for the philosophy of education that she pioneered.
The Montessori approach is based around learning in an environment in which a number of physical objects are situated to stimulate natural instincts and self-directed learning.
The Children's School in Stamford, Connecticut (both images) is located in Stamford, Connecticut. The design of this Montessori School for children aged 2-8 is based around the concept of a "one room schoolhouse", with each space connected to the next as well as to interior connected to the outdoors. The natural environment was also high on the agenda in the school's construction with the building obtaining a LEED certification.
Never underestimate the impact of a child's surroundings when it comes to their education...
Let's celebrate education today... And modern architecture of course!

Andrew Geller, the innovative architect behind many a modernist Hampton beach house, including iconic A-Frame designs, recently passed away. Ever hear of the Bra, the Box Kite, the Cat, the Milk Carton, or the Reclining Picasso? These were all nicknames given to his visually striking and remarkable homes.
He was also the designer of a line of prefabricated cottages sold under the name of Leisurama. Back in the 1950s, you could march into Macy's in New York and, for a down payment of $490 and monthly payments of $73, get the house and all the modern furniture and furnishings. It was just such a house that se-off the infamous "Kitchen Debate" between Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev over the affluence of American and Soviet consumers.
To celebrate Mr. Geller's life and work, we've assembled a photo gallery of some of his more eye-popping home designs, along with a YouTube video clip from a documentary about the Leisurama houses, and a clip from Geller's grandson, who is behind the Andrew Geller archive preservation project.

With winter coming on in full force, we thought you would enjoy a little greenery.
This modern cabin seamlessly blends in with its Northern California forest setting. Upright wood siding echoes the surrounding redwood and pine tree trunks. Planted roofs evoke the forest canopy and help to protect the roof against sun damage.
And we love the way they used cylindrical and modern outdoor lighting to subtly illuminate the entryways and a small seating area.

Matt DeLima may have a career on YouTube awaiting him. His days as co-owner of Vice Ultra Lounge are officially over, and DiLima made a video about it as one last YouTube slap at city officials he blames for hindering his success.
After what police say (and Delima denies) were 30 fights and 31 citations for public intoxication and other violations of the facility's use permit since Vice's 2009 opening, the doors closed for good on Jan. 1. DeLima is blaming the city's imposition of an 11 p.m. last call requirement in Oct., imposed by the Planning Commission in an attempt to reduce the number of fights.
Vice was one of several downtown nightspots that became the focus of a major political dispute between the city council and the police union in the 2010 election. After a huge fight broke out on Oct. 1, 2010 that involved 30 people and three establishments, former councilman Gary Skrel was accused of meeting secretly with bar owners, asking them to not call police when fights broke out until the November election was over. Skrel vehemently denied making that request.
In 2011, DeLima in which he opined that Walnut Creek police were excessively pulling him over for uwarranted traffic violations.
Let's just say that there was very little love between DeLima and the WCPD.
Whether it was a bad economy, city restrictions, police scrutiny or a reputation problem, or perhaps a combination of all of the above, Vice Ultra Lounge is no more.
And YouTube may have a new star.

My Favorite Wife (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
What would you do if you were in this predicament?� Your lovely wife was on board a ship that was lost at sea.� Seven years pass and during that interim you've been working hard at your law career� and you've met a new woman to be a wife and mother to your children.� Seven years is the legal amount of time that has to pass before you can have someone missing declared legally dead, so you go to a judge you know and have your first wife declared legally dead.� Now you are free to marry your new lady love, and you do so.� On the afternoon of your wedding day, right before you and wife #2 are to leave for your honeymoon, guess what?� Wife #1 appears!� She's alive and well, and was stuck on a deserted island for these past seven years!� What would you do?� This is the plot for a delightful comedy called
My Favorite Wife
, released in 1940, by
RKO Studios
Cary Grant
plays Nick Arden, our hero-lawyer of the movie, and
Irene Dunne
is Ellen, wife #1.� Gail Patrick is Bianca, wife #2, and Randolph Scott portrays Stephen Burkett, a handsome man who also survived the same shipwreck as Ellen, and was on the deserted island with her.� A fact that Ellen humorously tries to keep Nick from finding out about.
Nick has a major problem on his hands; wife #1 isn't dead, so legally they are still married, yet he has just married a second wife, who has no idea that Ellen has resurfaced.� He has to find� a way to break the news gently to Bianca, who is puzzled as to why they haven't left for their honeymoon yet, so she calls in a psychiatrist, Dr. Kohlmar,� to come out to Nick's house and try to talk with him about his reluctance to get on with the honeymoon!
Ellen, meanwhile, doesn't want Nick to know about Stephen, her island buddy, so she recruits a mild-mannered, shy shoe salesman to pretend to be Stephen so Nick won't feel jealous.� However, an insurance adjustor contacts� Nick and tells him that there is a rumor going around town that Ellen wasn't alone on that deserted island and that she and her island buddy called each other, "Adam and Eve".� Nick decides to track down this� island buddy and discovers for himself that Stephen Burkett is strong, athletic, and quite handsome!� Nick, while dealing with Bianca and Dr. Kohlmar, has a new problem crop up when the police arrive at his home to arrest him for bigamy!
This film is what is termed a "Screwball Comedy" as the situations that the characters find themselves in are so funny and utterly unbelievable.� The film was directed by Garson Kanin, produced by
Leo McCarey
, and written by Leo McCarey, Samuel Spewack and Bella Spewack.� It was loosely based upon a poem by
Alfred Lord Tennyson
, "Enoch Arden", about a sailor lost at sea, who survives on a deserted island for seven years, only to be rescued, returns home to find his wife remarried to his best childhood friend, and with a new child by the new husband.� The poem has a sad, yet noble ending.� Fortunately for us� the movie has a better ending; the entire movie� is a delightful romp of comedy and romance.� It did earn a big box office profit� for RKO, and it was nominated for 3 Academy Awards: Best Story, Best Musical Score, and Best Art Direction.
Cary Grant displays his comedic timing to perfection in this film, trying to keep all the plates spinning, so to speak, before they all come crashing down.� Irene Dunne is� great as Ellen, trying to convince her husband that she still loves him, despite being stuck on a deserted island with the very handsome Stephen.� The supporting players all do really well with their parts, portraying their characters with sincerity, and believability.
The film was such a hit, that in 1962 Twentieth Century Fox began filming a remake, titled Something's Got to Give, with Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe, and Cyd Charisse reprising� the roles.� Monroe was eventually fired for not showing up to film her scenes, Martin quit when the studio attempted to refill Monroe's part, and the project was shelved.� After Monroe's death, the studio recast the movie with Doris Day, James Garner, and Polly Bergen and retitled it Move Over, Darling, releasing it in 1963.� It is a funny movie too, in color,with songs by Doris Day� but for my taste, I prefer the original with Cary and Irene.
So pop up a big batch of popcorn, grab a soda and a comfy spot to sit.� My Favorite Wife is available for sale at Amazon, it will be� shown on Turner Classic Movies on February 12th, and it is available to rent from Netflix.

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a case from Missouri on whether police must first get a search warrant before forcing a suspected drunk driver to have blood drawn.
According to a story in The San Francisco Chronicle, the justices have agreed to hear the Missouri contention that the Constitution does not require police to take the time to get a search warrant in order to draw blood. The contention is that the alcohol would dissipate in the system during the wait. The high court in Missouri, however, disagrees and claims a search warrant is required.
It is reported that more than 1.4 million people are arrested in the US each year and charged with driving under the influence.
Do you think that members of law enforcement would be required to obtain a warrant before forcing a suspected drunk driver to have blood drawn in DUI cases?

A number of green building techniques widely used in Europe but less well established in the U.S. may have the potential to deliver higher performance buildings without necessarily costing more, concludes a new study from the Mechanical Contractors Education and Research Foundation.
Broader use of radiant heating and cooling, is one of the technologies offering substantial benefits in the U.S., along with active building facades and building system operator user interfaces, the report states.
"Continued challenges with the availability of fossil fuels and the impact of global warming are pushing building owners and developers toward projects that have a much higher level of energy efficiency," the report says. "The challenge is that this efficiency needs to be provided, while at the same time supporting the overall building project goals including architectural and occupant comfort. The result is the need for a 'high performance' building where the building systems are pushed to deliver more, without necessarily costing more."
The report focuses on radiant heating and cooling technologies because of their excellent energy efficiency, virtually silent operation and ability to deliver human comfort.
"Radiant systems generally use less energy than forced air systems," says the report, ranging from 17% to 42% in North American climates, according to one reference cited.
Radiant systems don't provide for ventilation, the report points out. "A complementary outdoor air system is typically required for ventilation purposes," it states. However, this can also be a benefit. "Decoupling sensible temperature control from ventilation allows for potential improvement in indoor air quality, with elimination of air recirculation." states the report.
All three technologies examined pose challenges as well as potential benefits, the report concludes. Each must be properly designed, carefully selected based on project type, cost considerations and environmental conditions, and must be properly commissioned, serviced and maintained.

The Express-Star
DUNCAN, Okla. —
The Chickasha High School football team lost to the Duncan Demons on the road in the final game of the regular season Friday night.
The Fightin' Chicks lost 45-21, and end their season with a 4-6 overall record, 2-5 in district 5A-1. Chickasha finished sixth place in the district standings.
"Great year, for me personally, and more for these guys, but also a tough year, frustrating year for these guys," head coach Tom Cobble said. "A lot of things had to happen for us to be where we wanted to be, and we didn't quite get there."
Chickasha quarterback Cade Morris missed his second-straight game with a broken thumb, and Brandon Wright stepped in for the final game of his senior season.
Wright went 14-for-29 with 178 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. He was the Chicks' leading rusher with 88 yards on 13 carries, including a 38-yard run in the third quarter.
"Moving DeShawn over there [to receiver] helped a lot, and of course Bubba coming in did a good job of throwing the football," Cobble said. "We pass protect better than we run block, so that's been kind of a strong point."
Chickasha played Duncan to a close first half, going to the locker room down only 24-14. While Chickasha had some success moving the ball through the air, it could not stop Duncan's running game.
The Demons ran the ball right down Chickasha's throat with 55 carries for 418 yards. Most of those went to Je'Mario McCoy, who ran for 163 yards on 15 attempts for three touchdowns.
Connor Kelly scored two touchdowns on the ground, and ran for 79 yards on 10 carries. Ryan Haley had one rush for 47 yards.
Duncan only threw the ball four times, with quarterback Tanner Morton going 2-for-4 with 39 yards.
Cobble said his defense got a little bit worn down by the relentless Duncan running attack.
"Those big guys beat on us and ran us down the middle," Cobble said. "We told our kids going in, the strength of their team is the offensive and defensive lines."
Jacoby Brown scored Chickasha's first touchdown on a one-yard run late in the first quarter. Late in the second, DeShawn Young caught a 35-yard pass from Wright for a score.
Duncan scored four straight touchdowns after that, and Chickasha's last score, a six-yard run by Josh Latham, came with the game already out of reach.
Shaq Oliver once again led the team in catches in his final game, catching five passes for 74 yards. Young finished with 76 yards on three catches and one touchdown.
Ryan Mosley led Chickasha in tackles with eight. Triston Hill had 7.5, Brandon Hopgood had five, and Rashaad Garrett had 4.5.
With the season done, Cobble said he was optimistic about continuing to build the program in future seasons.
"I'm just looking forward to continuing to put things together, as are our kids, and our seniors also, they want Chickasha football to get where it needs to be," Cobble said.

Honda Crosstour Prices Paid and Buying Experience
Was quoted at $31,300 Out the door on a EX-L Xtour w/out Nav. This is including a trade-in that I was appraised for at $3000. The car I am trying to trade in is worth far more than at @ $5,350 (Dealer Trade In) but I would have settled for $4,500.
Because of the lowball appraisal, I didn't budge from a Out-the-door price of $30,500. The mngr said he would call me on Monday.
What do you guys think, Is this a far negotiation so far? I don't think I am lowballing at all, but If I am, how much would you guys step up to?
It's a 2001 Audi A6 2.7t quattro. Fully loaded. 86700 miles. Clean title, No accidents, no mechanical issues. Some wear and tear but nothing abnormal for a 9 year old car.
KBB quotes it at $5,350. I would have settled for $4,500. I think it's a near steal for this car in it's better-than-decent condition.
That's the problem.
I'm sure it's a nice car but people fear Audi's that are getting into the higher miles even though for the year that's not a lot of miles.
As Audi's age they get troublesome and expensive to fix and people shy away from them. I would try to sell it on your own.
w_byrnes Posts: 15It is a new crosstour, black on black, purchased from Hondaland in Tampa, FL on Labor day. Selling price is $27,911 that includes destination, mud guard, wheel lock, truck liner, and pin stripes but not TTL and $600 dealer processing fees. With this price, I could not get the .9%/60mos financing. Instead, I was offered 3.0%/60 mos financing by Honda Financing, which was not too bad. Overall, it was not a bad buying experience. The salesperson is very nice and knowledgeable too.
foryourinfo Posts: 1i just got my cross tour ex-l.
Price paid = $347/ per month (this includes tax).
Downpayment - $1,300.
Seems like buying may have been a slightly better option, as the quoted selling price was $28,512 if I bought.
He used a price of ~$29,500 to calculate lease payment because he said he didn't get some rebate or incentive with the lease.
All in all, I feel the deal was reasonable although I probably could have received a little more.
Thanks everyone for your posts and please state any actual leasing deals if you closed a deal. It's good for the consumers!

When it comes to Larry Bird, there's one franchise with which he'll always be indelibly associated.
Bird will live on in eternal Boston Celtic green. He will forever be a symbol of a NBA that exploded in popularity in the 1980s partly because of his considerable exploits.
But as iconic as Bird is as a Celtic, one could make an argument for similar iconic status with the Indiana Pacers.
Bird, of course, never played a game for the Pacers, but first as head coach and then as general manager and team president, Bird is an integral part of the Pacers' most successful NBA eras.
Bird has had a direct hand in five of the Pacers' seven conference finals appearances. The Pacers made their only NBA Finals appearance to date in 2000 — Bird's final season as head coach.
Bird has helped the Pacers revive themselves into an elite playoff team three times. He did it in his first season as team president in 2004, and he rebuilt the Pacers, who were a NBA lottery team from 2007 to 2010, into an Eastern Conference Finals team in 2013.
But Bird did it the first time as head coach. Back in 1997, Bird had never been a head coach at any level. He quickly proved he was up to the task.
1997: Bird comes to Pacers
To understand what Bird did, one must understand where the Pacers' franchise was in 1997 when he was hired.
Starting in 1987, when Reggie Miller was famously taken ahead of Steve Alford in the first round of the NBA Draft — a move that irritated the many Pacers fans who were also Indiana University basketball fans — the Pacers had been building themselves into a contender under general manager Donnie Walsh.
When Walsh hired longtime friend and associate Larry Brown as the team's coach in 1993, he helped the young Pacers make the final step. As a No. 5 seed, the Pacers made a surprising run to the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals and narrowly lost in seven games to the New York Knicks. In 1995, the Pacers were one of the East's elite teams, qualifying again for the Eastern Conference Finals, with another heart-breaking seven-game loss to Orlando.
But starting in 1996, there were cracks in the armor. The Pacers won 52 games, same as the year before, but were a No. 4 seed in the playoffs, and lost in five games in a first round series to Atlanta, a series in which Miller was hampered by injury.
In 1997, the wheels fell off. A dispirited team fell to 39-43 and missed the playoffs. Brown decamped for Philadelphia shortly after the season ended.
"Larry Brown was the ultimate teacher. That's what he calls himself, but that's all he did," said former Pacers center Rik Smits, who played for Indiana from 1988 to 2000.
"He'd teach everyone this, teach everyone that and it was almost too much. He'd make you mad because you were never good enough. You never did this right, you never did that right."
The Pacers were at a crossroads. Still talented, the potential was there to again scale the heights reached in 1994 and 1995. But several teams in NBA history had suffered a similar bump in the road and never got back on track. If the Pacers made the wrong hire, they could easily have slipped back in the NBA pack.
This was the conundrum Walsh faced in 1997. He knew he needed someone who both commanded and demanded respect.
Enter Bird.
"From the very beginning, I was intrigued [with Bird] because, quite frankly, with the way Larry played I thought he knew the game and I wanted to hear what he'd want to do with our team," Walsh said.
Bird's playing career ended in 1992 when he retired from the Celtics. From 1992 to 1997, he served in the Celtics' front office as a special assistant, but had never been a head coach. Walsh wasn't dissuaded, and the expectations he had in his initial approach were far exceeded.
"We met for about two hours. He took me from the first day of practice to the finals of the NBA. He went through every player and how he would use them and how he saw the team playing," Walsh said.
Bird was hired in May 1997 and agreed to coach for three years. On the day Bird was hired, the Pacers wouldn't have been together as a team, but word spread quickly.
"When I heard we were getting Larry Bird, I was excited," said power forward Antonio Davis, who was with the Pacers from 1993-99. "He had played with great players and was a great player himself. He knew the game inside and out. Here he was to teach me and give me the opportunity to learn that stuff."
When Walsh looked back on his original conversation, he realized he had the right man.
"When I thought back on it after the season was over, Larry told me in that two-hour session exactly what he ended up doing … to the letter," Walsh said. "That's very unusual. He didn't do any more, he didn't do any less. It was exactly what he told me that day. I developed a great relationship with him because I knew when he told me something I could trust him."
Bird's day-to-day manner helped build that style.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Police have identified the man who was killed when he was struck by three cars after his car broke down on the side of the interstate on Wednesday night.
Police said 39-year-old Richard H. Blow, of Memphis, had pulled over on the right shoulder of Interstate 24 eastbound between Bell Road and Hickory Hollow Parkway around 11:25 p.m. Police said his he walked a short distance from his vehicle when he struck first by a Ford Econoline van, then a Freightliner truck, and a Kia car.
An officer had stopped to check on the pickup truck on the side of the roadway when he heard the crash.
Police said while this is tragic, it could have been prevented if people stayed in their car when they have car trouble.
"If the situation presents itself where you're broken down and you can't get off the interstate, turn your hazards on (and) call (615)862-8600 and let them know that you're broken down and we'll send out a police officer to assist or TDOT can also respond to assist," said Metro Police Captain Kenneth Walburn. "Try and get to the right side of the shoulder, pull as far off the roadway as you can."
The other motorists were not hurt, and no charges are anticipated.
The roadway was closed until 5 a.m. while police worked to clear the scene.

Food Manufacturing
Food manufacturing and processing in Louisiana occurs in a variety of forms, from the bottling of drinking water and soft drinks to the production of such endemic Louisiana staples as gumbos, hot sauces and crawfish pies. All of these activities are regulated by the Food and Drug Unit (FDU) under the authority of the Louisiana Administrative Code (specifically, Part VI of Title 51) and § 601 et seq. of Title 40 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 (better known as the State Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law). As with all its endeavors, the purpose of FDU's oversight of these activities is to verify that producers of such comestibles meet minimum standards of sanitation as outlined in the above-referenced regulations. However, please be aware of the following exceptions. FDU does not regulate the following:
The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, in cooperation with the U.S.D.A., regulates meat producers and processors.

Order yours today! Also available Pre-Mounted on Hazard Wheels for the SC10 RS, SC10 4x4 and Losi SCT-E!
Straight-out of the JConcepts Third Dimension are the creatively designed 3Ds SCT race tire. Debuted at the IFMAR World Championships in Pattaya, Thailand for the 1/8th buggy class, the 3Ds designed by Jason Ruona and tested by the JConcepts Team are a first of their kind. Developed to be the ultimate Slick-groove tire, the 3Ds are a first to combine the high-stability design of a black groove bar tire into an individually flexible pattern of finely spaced Double Dee lugs in one package. The SCT 3Ds include the highly successful closed cell "Profiled" inserts.
The roots of the 3Ds design came after extensive research and development over a period of 2 racing seasons. As racing on both indoor and outdoor conditions have matured, a more flexible, supremely grippy tire design was necessary to drive the edgy, fast pace. The 3Ds grip as a new, highly sought after, favorite in these conditions.
3Ds excel on indoor and outdoor hard packed surfaces with either dry or wet conditions. Drivers will feel the immediate impact of the exclusive design and proprietary rubber compound as they rip around the track at blistering speeds. An all-out design for racing, pure JConcepts.
• Available in Soft (Blue) and Super Soft (Green) compounds
• Pre-mounted versions available for the SC10 RS, SC10 4x4 and Losi SCT-E
• Compact tire body, high stability, individually flexible lugs
• Aggressive, supremely grippy feel
• Includes closed cell "Profiled" inserts

Ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to its effective Dexterity score. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a Concentration check (DC 15 + the spell's level) or lose the spell.

Pauls Valley Democrat
Pauls Valley, Oklahoma — Mary Louise (Porter) Nichols, 92, was born September 16, 1920 in Battle Creek, Michigan to George Harold and Velma Jane (Kenyon) Porter.
Her siblings consisted of two brothers - Robert Charles Porter (Born on the 4th of July) and Marvin Lawrence Porter - and one adopted sister, Jane Eigenbrode Porter. Her brothers have preceded her in death.
Mary Lou went to school in Battle Creek and graduated in 1938. She furthered her education by attending a local Vocational School where she took a Secretarial Course. She excelled in typewriting at 92 words per minute.
In order to increase her shorthand skills, she listened to Jimmy Fiddler on the radio and would take down his program in shorthand. He talked very fast!
The second semester began on-the-job training. She went to work for a patent attorney. When she asked for a raise after six weeks, and she gave a $1.00, and moved on with the teacher's (Mrs. Schemerhorn) approval.
Receiving a call to fill in during a vacation for five lawyers for a two-week period turned into nine and a half years.
While out to lunch one day she saw an advertisement to "Join the Service." She went to the recruiting office and signed up to become a member of the United States Coast Guard on January 15, 1944. Mary Lou was stationed at the Coast Guard Training Station in Palm Beach, Florida.
Her most memorable experience was being part of ship's company -- great officers and training new bootees as they arrived.
One day she was called into the office of Captain Keaster. Mary Lou had applied to go to Cooks and Bakers School. His question was "Why are you going to Cooks and Bakers School as a candidate with recommendations such as these?"
He was holding letters of recommendation which he had received from the group of lawyers where she had previously been employed. She became a Yeoman 3rd Class (Same thing as a secretary). It was her duty to refresh enlistees that had secretary potential in typing and shorthand to replace men in the fighting line.
It was during this time that she met the "man of my dreams" - Robert Eugene Nichols of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. He was stationed aboard the 390 Sub-Chaser in the Atlantic waters.
She was determined not to let him get away. They were married at the First Baptist Church in Palm Beach by Rev. Ira P. Knight on February 6, 1944 at 1 p.m. They were so excited they couldn't even eat their lunch! She and Bob experienced many things together and have had a wonderful time.
She was honorably discharged on February 21, 1945. She earned the American Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal.
Together they were blessed with three girls: Sandra Louise Strickland and her husband, Doug, of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma; Barbara Jeanne Tolleson and her husband, Don, of Windsor, Colorado and Cynthia Ann Alexander and her husband, Dean, of Mustang, Oklahoma.
Further blessings came with six grandchildren, Denise Brown and her husband, Robert, of Lafayette, La., Eric Strickland of Ada, Christie Price and her husband, Todd, of Argyl, TX, Jennifer Salter and her husband, Jeff, of Fort Collins, CO, Robert Smith and wife, Carrie, of Chicago, IL and Shannon Tolleson of Plano, TX.; and eight great grandchildren, Danielle and Megan Brown, Carter and Hayden Price, Ayden and Ryan Salter, Caleb and Zion Smith.
Bob's work took them to several different places to live including Ranger, Texas, where he worked for Service Pipe Line; Battle Creek, Michigan, where he worked for Michigan Carton Company and finally back to Pauls Valley, Oklahoma where he worked 30 years for the United States Postal Service.
Mary Lou began working in 1954 as a secretary for James T. Jackson in the Pauls Valley Chamber of Commerce. From there she went to work for Sohio Refining Company and then in 1958 went to work for Kerr-McGee Refining Company in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, retiring from there in 1982.
She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Pauls Valley where she served as Church Organist for 17 years. She felt that this was her way of giving back to the Lord.
Her hobbies have consisted of: Bowling - always trying to beat her last game. She did have two perfect games of 300.
Oil Painting - she took several lessons and enjoyed making things come to life. Her girls have several of her paintings in their collections. She learned to do techniques such as sandblasting, painting with a "Q-tip" and painting on glass.
Dog grooming - she had a poodle so she learned the proper grooming procedures and had several customers on a regular basis.
Seamstress - She made most of the clothing that her girls and she wore.
Gardner - Mary Lou loved to plant pretty flowers.
Other activities and hobbies include: scrapbooking, reading, playing the piano and organ as well as ceramics.
She also participated in the activities of the Pauls Valley Chickasaw Senior Site. She worked the taco sales and was responsible for sending birthday cards to all the elders.
Funeral services will be held Friday, May 3, 2013 at 2 p.m. at Stufflebean-Coffey Chapel of Remembrance officiated by Pastor Kenny Kelly and Dr. Joe Elam.
Interment will be at Mt. Olivet Cemetery under the direction of Stufflebean-Coffey Funeral Home.
We invite you to send a message of condolence and view the family's guestbook at www.stufflebeanfuneralhome.com.

this did not happen to me but i thought it was cute
Four years ago,When I was 18.
I noticed that my front window is very reflective
so I was pretending to dive
in slow motion and shoot,dual pistol style.
Suddenly a really hot girl walked past
and I was startled and fell over.Embarrassed
waited for a bit and then stood up.
As I stood up i saw her slowly shooting an
imaginary rifle from behind a car.
We then proceeded to do this for 10
minutes until she did an extremely dramatic death
She wasn't getting up so I went outside to meet her.
Once I got to where she was there was nothing
but a piece of paper with a mobile number on it.
Today,We are getting married

You will be in a group of riders with a similar level of ability and your instructor will guide you around the Arena. A whole day of riding, having fun and getting vital experience and time on the motorcycle - perfection. This year we have reworked our calendar to hold a Skills Development Day course immediately before Level Two and Three dates, wherever possible.

From the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, desert ironwood, also known as Arizona ironwood, is a rare and highly sought after species. Extreme density and vibrant reddish and brown colors make this wood a preferred choice of carvers and turners alike. The wood is so dense it actually sinks in water. Blanks are available in a variety of sizes.

I had bought a 2x2x6 blank...Posted September 11, 2012
I had bought a 2x2x6 blank on sale 2 years ago and just let it sit. The wood didn't look like much until I cut into it with my carbide tipped band saw. What had been a muddy brown lump suddenly revealed the rich golds , chocolate, and black hues of really, really nice desert ironwood. The wood is workable with sharp hand tools and scrapers, and polishes to an incredible finish. I haven't tried turning it, but imagine it to be an excellent turning wood.
