What about favorite food websites. I really enjoy Martha's website and Food411.com What are other people's favorites??
marcella 6 years
My absolute favorite is Cooks Illustrated. I love America's Test Kitchen and that they really view cooking as a science and try the recipes so many different ways. I've never made anything I didn't like from this mag (I seriously can't say that about the others listed!)

designergirl - i've had great baked goods from cooking light, one of my all time fave recipes for pumpkin pie cake came from cooking light syako - donna hay is great, but it's from australia so you pay a big import price. It's also interesting because their seasons are opposite of ours which means they have great summer treats when we're in the middle of winter. It's a nice escape! maybe worth a splurge every now and again.

Donna Hay is good (expensive, though), but Gourmet is my favorite. Everyday and some of the others are a bit too easy. I like to challenge myself in the kitchen. I also gave up on Cooking Light years ago because I like to bake, and, quite frankly, you can't make good desserts light unless they are naturally so (like baked apples or something).

Someone got me a subscription to Bon Appetit last Christmas and I have yet to make one recipe from it, too complicated. Cooking Light is great though. I made a bread pudding from there last weekend for a dinner party and it was a total hit. No one had any idea it was on the healthy side either (til I bragged and told them)

I rarely look at food specific magazines. I find that when I cook something new these days I follow the recipe online and have my laptop open in the kitchen while I make it. (Off to the side of course so it doesn't get messy.)

Beautiful Phillips Island, south of Melbourne, is a stunning area of gorgeous beaches, amazing wetlands and home to some of Australia's most iconic wildlife and wetlands.
On the island's south-eastern tip is Cape Woolamai, home to the Cape Woolamai State Faunal Reserve and one of the most important breeding grounds of the short-tailed shearwater, better known as the Australian muttonbird.
The stunning natural beauty of the island and the nightly parade of its large colony of penguins has helped make it one of the best-known tourist attractions on the Bass Coast with a fine selection of holiday rentals for travellers to choose from.
Cape Woolamai takes its name from the Aboriginal word for the snapper fish, "wollamai" – the explorer George Bass, who gave his name to the coastline around here after his voyages in the late 18th century, thought the headland looked like the head of the snapper fish and so Cape Woolamai was born.
Originally farmland, the Cape became a magnet for holidaymakers drawn to its super beaches and wildlife after the Second World War. Today the original beach shacks have been transformed into excellent holiday accommodation while surfers and water sports enthusiasts continue to flock to the area every year.
Phillips Island's most popular tourist attraction is the Penguin Parade that takes place daily at Phillips Island Nature Park. Little Penguins, the smallest breed of that flightless bird, is the only penguin to live permanently in Australia and these tiny birds attract more than 3 millions visitors every year to watch them waddle comically from the sea every night back to their nests.
More natural Australian wildlife can be spotted at the Koala Conservation Centre where this enduring and endearing symbol of the continent can be spotted in its natural habitat. Two boardwalks allow visitors to walk amongst the treetops and see the wild koalas, while bush walks reveal wallabies, echidnas and birds.
Conservation groups work hard across Phillips Island to preserve its terrific wildlife, including the major breeding colony of the muttonbird at Cape Woolamai and visitors are welcome to watch and participate in the voluntary groups.
The beaches on Phillips Island are considered among the very best in Australia for consistently good surf conditions and the island has hosted some of the world's biggest surf competitions and events. Whether you're a beginner or experienced in riding the waves or simply want to soak up the sun, the sandy, long beaches are a delight to be on.
For adrenaline-fuelled action of a different kind, head for the island's Grand Prix Circuit. For decades, Phillips Island has been at the forefront of Australian motor racing and its circuit hosted the original Australian Grand Prix in 1928. Today motorbike enthusiasts head here twice a year for the Superbike World Championship and the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, while car racing fans turn out in force for the V8 Supercars, Island Magic and Historic Car among many racing events.
If you're planning to combine a trip to Cape Woolamai with a visit to a racing event, make sure you organise your holiday rentals or self-contained accommodation in plenty of time as the island gets very busy.
The Pyramid Rock Festival is another popular event, taking place each New Year's Eve; Easter brings the Churchill Island Festival; and picnic races take place at Woolamai Horse Racing Club from November to February.
Phillips Island enjoys the temperate climate typical of the coastal area around Melbourne with ocean breezes making it seem a little cooler. Summer brings average daily temperatures of around 25°C with June and July rainier months with average temperatures around 16°C. Expect changeable weather even during the hottest time of the year but as the island is small, it's easy enough to return to your holiday accommodation for a quick change if necessary!
UK visitors travelling to Phillips Island will arrive at Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne. There are direct flights to Melbourne from London's Heathrow Airport. Phillips Island is only a two-hour drive from the city so car rental would make the transfer to your accommodation quick and easy. Public transport is also plentiful and there are bus and ferry services that go direct from the city centre to towns on the island, including Cape Woolamai.

What Are Our Services?
Have you been asked to specify static free, conductive or anti static flooring? Are you confused about jargon like mission critical, low static generating, N+1, ANSI/ESD S20.20 or the difference between static dissipative floors and conductive floors?
Staticworx® can help you identify the right static resistant rating, select the correct static flooring option, and get it installed by a local professional who understands grounding, conductive flooring adhesives, ESD floor testing. We can even supply your building service contractor with maintenance recommendations and the necessary static free floor care products - no matter what floor you own.
What Is ESD Flooring?
Let's start with the definition of ESD: ESD is an abbreviation for electrostatic discharge: the pulse of static electricity that occurs when a charged person contacts another object. Anything from sliding out of a car seat or walking across a static generating floor can build up a dangerous charge. Most associate a static discharge with that sensory "ouch" that we feel and see; the zap, the mini bolt of blue lightening. However, the majority of static discharges, anything below 3500 volts, are totally undetectable to humans. Like common cold germs, ESD events are occurring around us constantly, causing damage to sensitive microelectronics inside computers and electronic devices.
The best way to avoid ESD events is to prevent static generation in the first place. In the case of ESD, an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure. If the environment prevents static generation, it's impossible for an ESD event to occur. A static free environment is created by eliminating normal static generating surfaces like carpet, rubber and tile. We loosely define those surfaces as ESD flooring. Other common names are anti static flooring, static flooring, conductive tile, static resistant flooring, non-static flooring, and grounded floors.
Visit our Knowledge and Safety Center to learn how to more accurately describe these floors so you don't mistakenly specify a material that will increase static. Also, read more about correct grounding methods for ESD floors and Tile using copper grounding strips.
What Is Anti Static Flooring?
Define: anti static flooring: The term anti static refers to a condition where static generation is inhibited during contact and separation with a different material. Anti static flooring can either be static dissipative or static conductive. (See also, Dissipative Tile)

Time Inc. message to old media: Everything is for sale
As advertisers continue to migrate to new media, the world's largest magazine publisher is put on the block.
If most of Time Inc., the world's largest and most famous magazine publisher, can be sold, then so can any other pillar of old media.
Rumors are that the relatively tiny media company Meredith Corp. (MDP), a publisher of middle-class women's magazines based in the tiny city of Des Moines, could take over most of Time Inc.'s titles, a sign of just how little major media companies care about their print operations. If this happens, Meredith, with a market value of only $1.7 billion, will become overnight the premier magazine owner in America.
Time Warner Inc. (TWX) already has decided that cable content and movies have a better future than magazines do. The Turner division of the conglomerate, founded by maverick Ted Turner, has a value that most experts believe moved beyond that of the nearly century-old Time Inc. many years ago.
At least Time Warner still values the future of its ancient Warner Bros. operations. Movies, it seems, have not aged as badly as print. They at least have a bright future in the digital age.
The reason that Time Inc. and other great print properties like the flagships of New York Times Co. (NYT) and Washington Post Co. (WPO) could be jettisoned by their parents is that none has had the hoped for success online, which might have brought enough revenue to offset troubled print operations. This observation is very old.
Although each of these media has a very large online presence, advertisers have not seen this size and scope as a reason to give them significant support. They have been elbowed aside to a large extent by the big portals, which include AOL Inc. (AOL) and Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO), even though these businesses face revenue growth challenges of their own. Newer media, particularly Google Inc. (GOOG) and Facebook Inc. (FB), which would not have been considered media at all just a few years ago, have sucked a huge portion of online advertising out of the hands of competitors. Finally, Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) not only has hurt online retailers, it also has undermined the ability of traditional media companies to build e-commerce transaction platforms of their own as a means to make money from their huge reader bases.
One of the reasons Time Inc. is an attractive target is the size of its management staff -- those at the top of the pyramid in editorial, advertising sales, circulation and senior executive jobs. Meredith can cut almost all of these expensive people in a consolidation. If this works, the same cost structures could be targets of potential buyers of The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Financial Times and a small number of the other old-line print media companies. Aside from the potential private buyers of these properties, there are media companies that already have built-in management structures of their own, companies like CBS Corp. (CBS) and Gannett Co. Inc. (GCI).
Time Inc. is on the block. Because of that, every other famous old media brand is as well.

Sporting Kansas City got all cute-like before the big match on Sunday; trying to ruffle our feathers a bit before they come into town.
Too bad it didn't work.

No, you aren't dreaming.

Check SJEarthquakes.com and @SJEarthquakes on Twitter for clues daily. Wondo and Lil' Wondo's cutout will be hiding out in various areas around the Bay. Once you find them, snap a photo. Share the photo on Instagram/ Twitter with the hashtag #WheresWondo.
Cha-ching. You are automatically entered to win.
Make sure to play daily. The more times you find Wondo & Lil' Wondo = more entries in your name to win big.
Not only are you eligible to win the USMNT Wondowlowski jersey, but each day we're giving out prizes to our daily hunters. One photo of the day with #WheresWondo will win two tickets to Sunday's match vs. Sporting Kansas City.
So, what are you waiting for? Unleash your bobble and find Wondo.

U.S. Soccer invited 64 elite players from across the country to participate in the National Combine, designed to build the U-18 Men's National Team pool.
Two current Earthquakes academy players were in the mix, including goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski from Alamo, Calif. and forward Amir Bashti from Cupertino, Calif. Marcinkowski, the Quakes U-16 Academy keeper, recently competed with the squad abroad in the Caspian Cup. Bashti, a midfielder also on the Quakes' U-16 Academy team, has been ranked nationally by Topdrawersoccer.com and led the team to the playoffs earlier this Summer.
The two will travel to Portland for this year's National Combine at Nike's World Headquarters. This five day camp, running from Aug. 9-13, brings the country's elite 15 to 17 year old players together. The combine is an opportunity for the nation's top palyers to be evaluated by National Team staff and scouts from across the country.
Full roster:

Many know the likes of GoPro, National Tire Warehouse and DZH Phillips as competitive corporations and leaders of their industries. But did you know these teams can bring it on the field?
On Saturday, we hosted our annual Corporate Cup with over 26 teams competing in three divisions: Men's Corporate, Co-ed and Men's Open.
Here's a breakdown of the results:
Men's Corporate:
The top 8 teams that qualified for the playoffs were National Tire Warehouse, Nvidia, Fox Racing, Infineon, Box, GoPro, Workday and eBay. National Tire Warehouse and Nvidia battled it out in a heated final, but NTW won 4-3. National Tire Warehouse's Bradley Mitchell took home the Golden Boot for the division.
The top 4 teams that qualified for the playoffs were DZH Phillips, People's Associates, eBay and Chegg. DZH Phillips defeates Peoples Associates in the final, and the Golden Boot winner was Parshan Rayatkah from DZH Phillips.
Men's Open:
It was a really close final between DV8 Elite and Harmonie, but DV8 Elite edged over their competition 5-4 to claim the title. Ramiro Ceja from the 3rd place finishers, Fight the Flop, took home the Golden Boot award in the division.
Thanks to all who made this year's Corporate Cup a success! All of the proceeds from the tournament went to the Quakes' Kicks for Kids program that allows for thousands of under privileged youth to be brought out to various Quakes matches.
A big congratulations is in order to Wondo, Goodson, Gordon and the USMNT for winning the 2013 Gold Cup and extending their undefeated streak to 11 matches.
Wondo, who notched 5 goals in the tournament, shares the Golden Boot award with fellow teammate Landon Donovan and the Panamanian striker Gabrial Torres.
It may not be the only Golden Boot Wondo has seen, but it's his first in the red, white and blue.
We couldn't be more proud of our humble Wondow:

LANSING (WKZO) -- Documents filed last week in Lansing reveal why the Michigan State Police locked down the Capitol building during the debate over the right to work law. Thousands of demonstrators packed into the Capitol to protest.
Michigan State Police Captain Kevin McGaffigan wrote in a statement that he was concerned about public safety. He felt some people may be trampled or fall over the railing in the Capitol rotunda.
A lawsuit was filed by Democrats, labor unions and other groups charging the move violated the state's Open Meetings Act.

Budget crises are leading prisons nationwide to eliminate addiction treatment programs, according to the Association of State Correctional Administrators (ASCA) and other experts.
The Associated Press reported April 15 that Texas, Kansas, Iowa and Pennsylvania are among the states where prison treatment programs have been gutted or lawmakers are proposing to do so. A major budget crisis in California also has resulted in big cutbacks in prison treatment there.
Prison experts called the cuts shortsighted and likely to lead to increases in crime and recidivism. "When inmates are busy, they're not getting into bad things," said Bob May, associated director of ASCA. "Programming is good and helps build responsibility and accountability."
In Texas, treatment supporters are using the case of a repeat drunk driver — who killed a woman in a car crash after being released from prison without getting addiction counseling — to argue against a plan to cut $23 million from the prison treatment budget. "People say, 'How can you afford to (fund) this?'" said Texas Sen. John Whitmire, chair of the state Senate's criminal justice committee. "My comeback is, 'How can you afford not to?'"
Even before the latest cuts, only about 11 percent of inmates who needed addiction treatment received services, studies have shown.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Moultrie, said Tuesday he has signed on as a co-sponsor on a bill that would require the Obama administration to cut $45 billion in unused federal funds.
The legislation introduced by U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., would require that the Office of Management and Budget rescind funds from unobligated, discretionary appropriation balances in federal accounts and report to Congress and the Treasury Department on the work within two months.
"We are in the middle of a fiscal crisis, and we must use every tool available to pay down our out-of-control debt and deficit," Chambliss in announcing his support for the Decrease Spending Now Act. "Let's correct past mistakes by rescinding unspent money and using it to pay down the debt before someone in Washington finds a way to spend it again."

Joshua Breakstone
Singing with six strings
While Joshua Breakstone has been a guitarist since his early teens, cutting his teeth on Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa, his most profound influences have come from players of other instruments. The fluid lines of his improvisations have often been compared to those of a trumpeter or saxophonist, and when he cites Lee Morgan, Clifford Brown and Charlie Parker among his prime influences, the comparison comes into focus.

I would recommend this if you need a good quality , high traffic wool runner. It is densely woven...and very reasonable priced. However It does not look or fell hand spun or hand woven at all. It looks like a mass produced machine made rug. Which I suspect it is.
I love this rug! It is really beautiful. I'm not sure if my monitor is off, but the colors looked much brighter online than they do person. It doesn't really matter, though, because the tones are the same and the rug is just so gorgeous! The price is unbeatable too!!
A great surprise that shopping could be so easy and results so pleasing with no winter driving on ice etc,
I often order from Overstock and have always loved the products. This runner was beautiful but had been dampened in the NY warehouse during Hurricane Sandy, and by the time it got to Pittsburgh it was stinky. While there was clearly no one to blame, Overstock was wonderful to work with regarding return shipping and refunded the entire amount, which I will now use to buy a runner from them again, in the hopes the warehouse has dried out!
I bought this runner as a match for larger 12x10 bedrom rug... great addition
Love the rug. Makes my bedroom look refreshed again
This is a great rug. Thick wool pile. What looks yellow on the border is actually a beige. In all, colors are more muted than in photo, but lovely.

I was able in incorporate over 15 years of tournament fishing the Bass Federation levels, local club level and a few other bigger tournament series around Missouri into the guiding experience.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio plans to team up with Tempe police in MCSO's latest crime suppression operation beginning Thursday night near ASU.
"What police in Tempe are seeing is that parties today are not like the bygone days of occasional drunkenness and disorderly conduct," said Arpaio. "These parties have become virtual melees - masses of underage drinkers behaving badly, resorting to violence toward each other and even police Chief [Tom] Ryff wants it to stop, and so do I."
Arpaio said sheriff's deputies will have a command post stationed in front of the Tempe Fire Department Training facility at University and Dorsey Streets to process arrests and jail bookings.
The sheriff said the operation will likely continue on weekends through the reminder of the school semester or until both agency heads are satisfied that off campus partying is under control.
Tempe officers, along with MCSO deputies and posse volunteers, will patrol the streets and apartment complexes surrounding the ASU campus.
"If the law enforcement response looks over the top, it is because these parties are over the top," Arpaio said. "What's going on during these off campus drunk fests is nothing to laugh at. Already serious injuries have occurred and it won't be long before somebody ends up dead."
Arpaio added, "If the party continues, it will be inside the jail cell."
Over the past three weeks, Tempe police have launched a "Safe & Sober" campaign, involving nine Valley law enforcement agencies. Ryff said teams have focused on combating DUI, youth alcohol violations and alcohol-related criminal activity.
The ASU Police Department will continue with their ongoing participation, teaming with Tempe PD to address alcohol violations and loud party activities.
"I plan to continue these efforts into the foreseeable future, or until we get a handle on the alcohol-related violence," Ryff said. "When the strengthened city ordinance is combined with our commitment to de-escalate parties and conflicts before crimes and violence occur, families and neighborhoods can remain safe."

It's a call many Arizonans will be forced to make this summer when their air-conditioning unit breaks down and it needs to be fixed right away.
"We have service calls all day," said AC technician Albert Espinoza. "We're running Saturday and Sunday, sun up to sundown."
But how do you know which company will do the job right at the right price, and which ones are a little shady, with a poor track record when it comes to quality and customer service?
Paul Gard of Glendale gets flooded with fliers from an assortment of AC repair companies.
How can he tell which ones are legit?
"You have no clue," Gard said. "It's easy to have flyers printed up. It doesn't mean they are a not reputable company, but it doesn't mean they are."
Mike Donley is president of the Valley's Donley Service Center, which has an A-plus rating from the Arizona chapter of the Better Business Bureau.
He recommends that everyone do their homework before hiring any contractor or AC repair company.
A simple visit to the Better Business Bureau website or Arizona's registrar of contractors could save folks a lot of money and aggravation, said Donley.
"Similar to a doctor, you don't know what's really going on inside of you," said Donley. "Most people don't know what's going on in their AC. There's a lot of mystery, so you want someone you can trust."
Here's a list of five AC companies that have A-plus ratings with Arizona's Better Business Bureau.
The rating is based on everything from how long they've been in business, number of complaints and how the company responds to complaints.
* Magic Touch Mechanical in Mesa.
* Arizona Refrigeration Service in Tempe
* Cool Touch Air Conditioning and Heating in Surprise.
*Absolute Comfort Cooling and Heating in Glendale
* Donley Service Center in Phoenix.
Here's a list of five AC companies with an 'F' rating from the BBB.
* CPM Air in Mesa
* Al-Tech Energy Management in Phoenix
* Leading Edge Air conditioning and Heating in Chandler
* Mark's A/C & Heating Service in Glendale
* Collins Lee Air Conditioning located at 8927 N 2nd Way, Phoenix, AZ 85020
It's also a good idea to make sure the company you want to go with has a current license and is registered with the state, said Donley.

Respiratory Therapy Advanced Diploma Program
Interested in a career in respiratory therapy?
What is respiratory therapy?
Breathing - it's one of those things we take for granted. Rising levels of pollution, combined with an aging population, are making breathing difficulties more common. Respiratory Therapists are crucial members of the health care team who monitor and treat patients' cardiopulmonary needs.
What does a Respiratory Therapist do?
Do you like variety? Respiratory Therapists (RT) provide a variety of care for adults, children and newborns. As an RT you would expect to:
- Be an integral part of the cardiac arrest team
- Be leaders in the use of mechanical ventilators and other life support equipment
- Use medications, therapies and tests to assist in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart and lung disease
Respiratory Therapists must have good communication skills and be sensitive to patients' physical and psychological needs. They must have critical thinking skills and problem solving skills and be able to function well as an interprofessional team member, as well as an autonomous clinician. They must be able to work under pressure with critically ill patients, as well as be patient and compassionate with patients suffering from chronic illness or receiving end-of-life care.
As with many health care fields, the aging population will increase the demand for Respiratory Therapists. Elderly patients suffer most from respiratory ailments and cardiopulmonary diseases such as pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and heart disease. In addition, advances in treating victims of heart attacks, accident victims, and premature infants (many of whom are dependent on a ventilator during part of their treatment) will increase the demand for the services of Respiratory Therapists.
Respiratory therapy is a regulated health profession. To work as a Respiratory Therapist in Ontario, you must be registered with the College of Respiratory Therapists of Ontario (CRTO). The Michener Respiratory Therapy diploma program is approved by the CRTO through the Council on Accreditation of Respiratory Therapy Education accreditation program and graduates are eligible to write the national examinations.With success on the national examinations, a Respiratory Therapist is eligible to work across Canada.
Why become a Respiratory Therapist?
Job satisfaction. Whether helping a newborn baby to draw their first breath or helping an elderly patient with chronic lung disease, Respiratory Therapists make a real difference in patients' lives.
Variety. Respiratory Therapists provide care in many different situations and environments, from therapy for patients at home with emphysema or terminal disease requiring end-of-life care, to emergency care for victims of a heart attack, stroke, drowning, or trauma.
|For an overview of programs and services offered at Michener download our 2015 Viewbook.
Career Opportunities
There is a lot of diversity in the field of Respiratory Therapy. Many RT's work in hospitals in the Intensive Care Unit, Delivery Room, Operating Room, Emergency Department and/or Pulmonary Function Lab. RT's may also bring their skills into the community where they work in home care, complex continuing care or rehabilitation facilities. Career opportunities are also growing in business environments, research and education. Further study is available in such areas as:
Degree completion option
With your Diploma in Respiratory Therapy from Michener, you can complete a University Degree. Please see below for some degree-completion options:
- Bachelor of Health Science (Respiratory Therapy), Dalhousie University
- Bachelor of Health Science, Thompson Rivers University
- Bachelor of Health Administration, Athabasca University
- Bachelor of Health Administration, Ryerson University
- Bachelor of Education in Adult Education, Brock University
How long does it take?

2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28( January 3, 2014 )
A 7.0-liter V-8 from last year's Corvette Z06 makes 505-horsepower and 481 pounds-feet of torque. It's 60 pounds lighter than a Camaro SS 1LE and nearly 300 pounds lighter than a Camaro ZL1. It lapped the famed Nuerburgring Nordschleife in 7:37.40 minutes. In the rain. That's faster than the Lamborghini Murcielago or Porsche 911 Carrera S.

It's has been a long time since there has been such an important game in just the sixth week of the regular season.
Quite simply the Packers are desperate, and if they are going to turn things around, it has to start this Sunday night at Houston.
The Good
History is on our side
They say history is the future's best indicator, and that's a good thing for us. The Packers have shown a great ability to bounce back during the McCarthy era. Since 2009, the Packers are 11-3 after a loss (one of those loses was without Rodgers). Rodgers has also played well against a Wade Phillips-coached defense. His QB rating against Phillips is 111.5 and he's never thrown an interception.
The Texans have feasted on cupcakes
The Texans have not had a hard road to 5-0. Their opponents have a combined record is 9-17. The only decent QB they have faced was Peyton Manning, and he threw for 330 yards and two touchdowns against them. While there is something to be said for beating the teams you are supposed to, it's fair to say Green Bay's road had been much tougher.
Vegas says it's closer then people think
It seems like everywhere you turn someone is talking about how easy of a game this will be for the Texans. At the end of the day it's all talk. The people that put their money where their mouth is think differently. The lines makers have the line at 3 points. As a former gambler (former means I lost a lot) let me tell you what this means. They see these two teams as relatively equal with a slight edge going to Houston because they are at home.
The Cushing Factor
As we all know the Texans will be without Brian Cushing. He was the heart of their defense, their leader, and maybe their best player, it's a huge loss. While some defenses can lose a good player and not skip a beat, most seem to experience at least a temporary dropoff, and some are never the same again.
The bad
The Packers D
The Packers have a hard time against any decent QB not named Jay Cutler. Matt Schaub has a passer rating of 99.2 which makes him the second highest rated QB the Packers have faced. Also the Texans rushing attack is 7th in the league with 143 yards per game. The last team that was able to do both things so well (the 49ers) had a field day against the Packers.
Stats don't lie
On paper this appears one-sided statistically. Houston scores 7.5 more points a game then the Packers, and they give up 7.6 points less.The Texans D is ranked fifth, while the Packers are 22nd (and falling). The turnover margin also favors Houston (+8 to -1). In fact, Houston leads Green bay in just about every major team statistic.
It's at Houston
This year's Packers have yet to prove they can win on the road, while the Texans are 9-2 at home (including playoffs) their last 11 games, so they have played very well there lately.
The Bottom Line: Houston has been impressive this year and seem to have no real weakness. However, Green Bay may be the best team they have had to play so far and they will be desperate, angry, and motivated. I fully expect the Packers to be right there until the end.

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM
Review Date : Wed, 29 Jun 2011
Author : Jon Tarrant
- Sample Photos: See sample image gallery
A well-built, pro-spec lens boasting excellent performance
|Ultra-reliable AF and IS systems
|Poorer sharpness past f/16
Canon users are spoilt for choice when it comes to lenses with a 70-300mm zoom range or similar. The full range of options is: the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM (SRP £1,600); EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM (SRP £650); EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM (SRP £350); EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III (SRP £300); EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM (SRP £1,700); EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM (SRP £1,940).
Many of these lenses can be bought for significantly less than their SRPs and the cream-finished L-series 70-300mm zoom on test here is no exception thanks to an on-the-street price of about £1,140. Although this is still a sizeable sum, the lens benefits from a professional-specification design that incorporates a high level of dust and water resistance. It also looks and feels very well built, inspiring confidence as soon as the lens is taken in hand.
The zoom ring is towards the front of the barrel but is easy to reach and offers just the right amount of resistance for finger-tip operation. The manual-focus ring is centrally located and also exhibits perfect resistance and rapid response. The focusing mechanism is genuinely internal, with no external movement to be seen in AF mode. In addition, manual intervention can be used in AF mode at any time.
To the rear of the lens are a focused-distance window (which is so far back as to be obscured by the overhanging pentaprism) and three slider switches that are used to: select either AF/MF or pure MF, activate the IS system and set the IS system's mode. The sliders are easy to reach but are also recessed to prevent accidental knocks.
Although the lens is rather wide and also extends considerably when zoomed to 300mm, it remains easy to hold and perfectly balanced at all times. Design-wise there is nothing to fault other than the aforementioned tucked-away distance window.
Similarly, there is nothing to fault in the speed, accuracy and quietness of the AF and IS systems. The hood obstructs the lens when reversed for storage so the hood has to be kept separately if the lens might be grabbed for an instant picture. When fitted for action the lens hood complements the barrel with a matte black finish and makes the zoom look even more substantial.
With so many good things to report it is a slight shame that the technical MTF charts are not as consistently impressive. The only slight weaknesses are wide-open at the shortest focal lengths and at all focal lengths beyond f/16. It is bizarre that Canon allows the aperture to stop-down beyond f/22 because there is such a loss of bite that discerning users can surely only be disappointed by the resulting images. This problem is not unique to Canon though.
This is a really lovely lens that has been a positive pleasure to test. It is fairly expensive but this is a professional zoom and is priced accordingly. As such it cannot be considered to be a bargain but neither is it unreasonably positioned within Canon's line-up. And as the list above illustrates, if a cheaper option is required then Canon has plenty of alternatives. If this one is the lens you choose, you won't be disappointed.

The cold weather is causing traffic issues for drivers in west Toledo after two water mains broke.
City crews responded Wednesday to a 12-inch water main line that sprung a leak along Kenwood Boulevard between Drummond Road and Meadowwood Drive. A 16-inch water main also broke on Byrne Road, shutting down one lane of traffic heading southbound between Dorr Street and Nebraska Avenue.
Temperatures this cold for a long period of time can put a strain on water lines. This poses challenges for workers because if they are unable to shut off the flow, they will have to pump out excess water and repair the line.
"When it gets this cold for this long, it's difficult for these guys to be out here. They're out here day and night," said Bob Phillips, general foreman for Toledo Water Distribution.
Phillips says those emergency repair jobs can pile up during long stretches of cold weather.
It is a tough job even in ideal weather conditions. Workers with Toledo Water Distribution have to be ready at any time, and in any weather, to get to work when water lines spring a leak.
"When it gets this cold it tends to break under paved areas, and when they break in paved areas, that's twice as difficult. The hardest part is sometimes getting the water turned off because of the system," said Phillips.
For these crews, making it through the work day means bundling up with layers.
"Some of these guys, the only way to keep from freezing is to stay wet. Once they get out of the water, then they're frozen," explained Phillips.
Once workers are out in the elements, Phillips says everybody looks out for one another.
"That's why we have three-man crews. Everybody takes care of each other. These guys are like family; they live together in those trucks," said Phillips.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KWSN)– Augustana head men's golf coach Steve Klock announced today the signing of Parker Klitzke to a letter of intent to continue his academic and golf career at Augustana. Today is the first day of the early signing period for NCAA golf programs.
Klitzke, a native of Sioux Falls, S.D., is a senior at Lincoln High School where he will graduate in the spring as a four-year letterwinner in golf under head coach Lyle Pearson. Klitzke is a two-time All-Conference honoree and earned All-State honors as a junior with a fourth-place finish in the state tournament. In the past three seasons, Klitzke was a member of teams that placed first, second and third in the South Dakota AA State Tournament while finishing fourth as an individual in 2012.
Klitzke tied for individual medalist honors at the inaugural Metro Conference tournament in 2013, shooting a two-under-par 69. He was a top-third finisher in AJGA and PGA Junior events in 2013, competing in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska.
"Parker is a great player who will bring consistency to our lineup," Klock said. "He manages his game well and knows how to put up low numbers on the course. I am very excited that he chose to stay in Sioux Falls and play for Augustana.
"Augustana tied for sixth after the first two rounds of the NSIC Fall Championships earlier this season and will return to action this spring.
