Douglas and Spanish Springs met in both schools' season debuts Tuesday night, which was also a regional crossover league game, and the result was similar to many in the past, a close clash. In the end, Spanish Springs made more plays and pulled out a 46-36 home win.
"We missed a lot of shots and we were far from sharp, but it's a league win on opening night so we'll take it and try to focus on the positives," veteran Spanish Springs coach Christine Eckles said. "We didn't win because we executed with great precision, but I did think we played really hard in the second half. That's when our defense helped us create enough easy offensive opportunities to pull out the win."
The two teams were deadlocked at 19-19 at halftime, but Spanish Springs took control after the intermission. The regional rivals traded buckets to start the third quarter and make the scoreboard read 21-21, but Spanish Springs scored the next seven points, grabbing a 28-21 lead midway through the third period. The game was never tied nor did the Cougars ever trail again.
Douglas did score the next six points to get within one, 27-26, still with two minutes remaining in the third. The Cougars answered when Riley Holladay connected on a 3-pointer and 1-of-2 free throws, pushing their lead back to five, 32-27.
Douglas stayed within striking distance. Kassidy Freitas made 1-of-2 free throws at the 7:36 mark of the fourth quarter and the Tigers were down just four, 34-30.
Spanish Springs extended its edge to double digits for the first time, 40-30, after Lyndsey Anderson made two foul shots, hit a jumper in the lane and Holladay got a putback off a missed free throw.
Douglas still hung around, closing to within six, 42-36, with 2:29 left in the game. That's as good as it got for the Minden school. The Tigers did not score again down the stretch while Holladay dropped in a layup and a runner in traffic for the Cougars, accounting for the final 10-point margin.
Holladay and Anderson both scored 14 points to tie for team-high scoring honors, but the duo combined to make only 10-of-30 field goal tries. That 30 percent figure was familiar for the SSHS crew. The Cougars, who did not get a single point of scoring from their bench, shot just 30 percent from the floor as a team, 18-of-60. Cougar reserves were 0-9 from the field.
Spanish Springs made up for its shortcomings b getting quantity rather than quality. Douglas did shoot a far better percentage from the field (54 percent), but it managed to get up only 28 shots, making 15.
Spanish Springs helped its cause by forcing 33 Douglas turnovers and winning the rebounding margin 36-31. The Cougars grabbed 18 offensive boards.
"We made some hustle plays, specifically in the second half, that helped us get this win," Eckles said. "But we definitely have to get better. We made too many mistakes by not remembering where we needed to be and when. We did not convert enough of their turnovers into our points. We just were not as sharp as we need to be if we want to achieve our goals.
"The good news is it is just opening night of a long season. Douglas is better than it has been the last couple years. We were fortunate to not play our best and still get a win. So now we get back in the gym and get to work on getting better."
Anderson had a solid all-around night for the Cougars, In addition to her 14 points, she pulled down 14 rebounds and snared seven steals.
Diana Regalado and Kynett McKenna paced the DHS scoring effort with 14 and 10 points respectively in defeat.
After a few more days of workouts this week, Spanish Springs will hit the road for a pair of out-of-state, non-conference road games in suburban Sacramento. The Cougars will play at Center, Calif. Friday at 4 p.m. before playing at Roseville, Calif. Saturday at 1 p.m.

The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — The United States demanded Thursday that North Korea immediately release an American sentenced this week to 15 years of hard labor on charges of trying to overthrow the government.
This 1988 file photo provided by Bobby Lee shows Kenneth Bae, right, and Lee together when they were freshmen students at the University of Oregon. Bae, detained for nearly six months in North Korea, has been sentenced to 15 years of "compulsory labor" for unspecified crimes against the state, Pyongyang announced Thursday.
AP / The Register-Guard, Bobby Lee
The Obama administration is calling for amnesty for Kenneth Bae, State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said.
"What we're urging the DPRK authorities to do is to grant him amnesty and to allow for his immediate release, full stop," Ventrell said, using the acronym for North Korea's formal title, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
In a brief statement released Thursday by its state-run news agency, the North said its Supreme Court had handed down the sentence for Bae, a tour operator from Washington state, on Tuesday.
Bae's punishment complicates decision-making for Washington, which had been hoping to open talks with North Korea if it showed signs of curbing its weapons program. The North has detained six Americans since 2009, using them in some cases to leverage high-profile rescue trips from former presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
Ventrell did not rule out another such trip, although Carter's office said he has no plans to go.
In an apparent attempt to appeal to Pyongyang, the State Department did not flatly condemn Bae's trial as a sham, saying only that it has concerns about the transparency and fairness of the legal system in North Korea, and it did not call for the verdict to be nullified.
Before Thursday's announcement, the State Department had appealed for Bae's release on humanitarian grounds.
Bae, 44, was arrested in November while traveling with a small group in Rason, a special economic zone. The North has provided few specifics about his actions there, but activists in Seoul speculate he was perhaps found with pictures of hungry children.
Euna Lee, a journalist who was detained by the North in 2009, wrote in a Facebook post that Bae "guided a tour group to North Korea and was stopped by the authorities for some files on his computer hard drive that he wasn't aware of."
Bae's sentencing follows a tense two-month period during which Pyongyang, under new leader Kim Jong Un, tested an underground nuclear device, nullified an armistice agreement that ended the Korean War and pulled its workers from an industrial complex jointly operated with the South.
The United States does not maintain diplomatic ties with North Korea and uses Swedish diplomats in Pyongyang as proxy representatives when necessary. Swedish Embassy personnel met with Bae last Friday, Ventrell said.
Very few Americans travel to North Korea, which considers the United States its principal enemy. The country has used detained Americans as bargaining chips before, releasing them only after high-profile visits the Kim regime trumpets at home as evidence of its importance to the United States.
In 2010, acting as a private citizen, Carter flew to Pyongyang to secure the release of Aijalon Gomes, who had been sentenced to eight years of hard labor after entering the country illegally. But Bae's sentence is slightly harsher than others issued to recent American detainees, all of whom were ultimately deported or granted amnesty.
The best-known case was in 2009, when Lee and fellow journalist Laura Ling, filming a documentary about defectors, were apprehended after crossing the icy Tumen River into the North from China. The women were freed, but only after Clinton made a trip to Pyongyang, where he met with then-leader Kim Jong Il.

Cambridge game is postponed despite hard work of Braintree's ground staff
10:01am Wednesday 1st January 2014 in Sport By Simon Spurgeon
Braintree Town's New Year's Day fixture against Cambridge United has been postponed because of a waterlogged pitch at the Amlin Stadium.
The Iron had been hopeful yesterday that the hard work of their ground staff would allow the Skrill Premier game to go ahead, but rain during New Year's Eve afternoon and overnight has thwarted their efforts.
With both sides doing well in the league, a big crowd had been expected for the game but standing water on the pitch meant it was impossible to get it on.
Braintree have said both clubs are keen to get the game played and have suggested Tuesday (January 7) as a possible date for the re-scheduled fixture.
An announcement about when the game will go ahead will be made soon when it is formally decided.

Year-After Effect could hit several playoff contenders in 2012
Story Highlights
Teams often pushed young starters past the proper limit to win a world title
Jaime Garcia of the champion Cardinals could be impacted by 2011's extra toll
Other teams had no good reason to use their young starters so much
Innings limits on young pitchers have become standard operating procedure with most organizations. The young pitchers who were shut down last year as a precautionary measure included Danny Duffy of Kansas City, Michael Pineda of Seattle and Jordan Zimmerman of Washington, a club that already has a governor on the 2012 workload of Stephen Strasburg.
But what happens to the best intentions when a young pitcher is in a pennant race? In virtually every case a team will keep sending the young pitcher to the mound while suddenly finding faith in "good mechanics" and "hard work." The Rangers (Derek Holland and Matt Harrison), Cardinals (Jaime Garcia), Brewers (Yovani Gallardo), Diamondbacks (Daniel Hudson) and Rays (Jeremy Hellickson) all pushed young pitchers aggressively last year for a shot at the World Series.
The extra work comes with a price. And the toll usually shows up the following season.
For more than a decade I've been tracking this price, which I call the Year After Effect, and which some places, including internal metrics used by at least one organization, referred to as the Verducci Effect. I began tracking it because Rick Peterson, when entrusted as the Oakland pitching coach with the golden arms of Barry Zito, Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder, believed in managing the innings for a pitcher from one year to the next. Too big a jump for too young a pitcher would put a pitcher at risk the next season for injury or regression.
From his philosophy I used a rule of thumb to track pitchers at risk: Any 25-and-under pitcher who increased his innings by 30 or more I considered to be at risk. (In some cases, to account for those coming off injuries or a change in roles, I used the previous innings high regardless of when it occurred.) I also considered only those pitchers who reached the major leagues. Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik, for instance, agrees that major league innings create more stress than minor league innings, so the effect is more profound.
The Effect has become easy to see over the years. In just the past six years, for instance, I flagged 55 pitchers at risk for an injury or regression based on their workload in the previous season. Forty-six of them, or 84 percent, did get hurt or post a worse ERA in the Year After.
Two out of the nine pitchers I red flagged last year actually stayed healthy or improved: Gio Gonzalez of Oakland (since traded to Washington) and Ivan Nova of the Yankees. More typical, though, were the regressions last year by David Price, Phil Hughes, Mat Latos and Brett Cecil, all of whom I red-flagged -- and all lost life on their fastball and saw their ERA jump by more than half a run. (The troubles for Hughes and Cecil were especially alarming and showed immediately in spring training.) Similar scenarios occurred with pitchers I red-flagged in the past, including Cole Hamels, Chad Billingsley, Rick Porcello, Mike Pelfrey, Josh Johnson, Joba Chamberlain and Scott Kazmir.
Despite industry awareness of workloads for young pitchers, the 2012 Red Flag List is one of the longest since I began tracking the Year After Effect. I found 14 pitchers at risk because of how they were pushed last season.
Why so many? Six of them were pushed because their teams were contending; the chance to win the World Series trumps development.
However, that still leaves eight pitchers who wound up in the at-risk category for piling up extra innings with teams out of contention. In some cases it was because pitchers with low ceilings are more apt to be pushed than are pitchers with high ceilings. (For instance, in 2010 the Blue Jays shut down Brandon Morrow but continued to give the ball to Cecil, who wound up with an innings increase of 41 1/3 and paid for it.)
Bear in mind this is not a highly scientific study. It is a rule of thumb used to gauge what by now has become a kind of industry standard of trying to keep young arms healthy. And keep this qualifier in mind: In general, the level of risk seems to be inversely proportional to age and size.
This year I have divided the Red Flag List into two categories: the six pitchers put at risk while pitching for contenders into the postseason, and the eight pitchers who busted through the threshold while pitching for teams out of contention. (Their listed age is their age at the halfway mark of last season.)
1. Derek Holland, 24, Rangers (+71 1/3). He threw 222 innings, a huge jump from his previous high (150 2/3 in 2008) and even more from what he threw in 2010 (134 1/3). He pitched six times in the postseason, including two relief appearances and 25-out scoreless gem of a start in World Series Game 4. He maintained his stuff well through his seventh month of last year, but the real test of his grind will be how he bounces back this year.
2. Jaime Garcia, 24, Cardinals (+57). His workload, like that of Hamels of the 2008 world champion Phillies, is part of the price of winning a world title. The Cardinals shut down Garcia late in 2010 because of his increase in innings. But such thinking did not apply last year while St. Louis chased down Atlanta for the NL wild card and then made a postseason run to the world championship. Garcia threw 25 2/3 postseason innings.
3. Yovani Gallardo, 25, Brewers (+41 1/3). He pitched five times in 12 days in the postseason, accounting for 26 innings that put him into the danger zone. This is Gallardo's second time on the list. He took a 33-inning jump in 2007, the year of his big league debut, and then threw just 24 innings the next season because of knee injuries.
4. Daniel Hudson, 24, Diamondbacks (+38 2/3). Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson brings an old-school competitiveness to the dugout. Arizona's starters threw more innings than any rotation except Philadelphia's. Hudson pitched well down the stretch and Arizona was trying to win a World Series, so Gibson had no need to curtail Hudson's work.
5. Jeremy Hellickson, 24, Rays (+37 1/3). The Rays have their own rule of thumb. They generally prefer to bump their pitchers' workload by no more than 20 percent annually. (Price took a playoff-influenced 36 percent jump in 2010 and saw his ERA swell by 0.77 last year.) For Hellickson, the 20 percent rule would have meant an increase of 31 innings, so he was not far off their target, even with a pennant race and the postseason (one start lasting four innings) influencing his work. The Rays also did a good job finding him extra rest in between starts. Beginning in late May, Hellickson pitched on the fifth day only six times in his final 21 starts.
6. Matt Harrison, 25, Rangers (+36 1/3). He spent most of 2010 in the bullpen, so Harrison took what looks like an alarming leap of 115 1/3 innings. But Harrison was developed as a starter and threw as many as 167 2/3 innings in 2008, which is used as the baseline here. He did turn 26 in September and is listed at 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, so Harrison does have age and size on his side.
1. Dylan Axelrod, 25, White Sox (+60). The White Sox were 9 ½ games out with 18 games to play and let Axelrod and Zach Stewart start seven of those meaningless games to exceed the threshold. Pitching coach Don Cooper is as good as anybody in the business at getting his pitchers to the mound consistently, so it's hard to quibble with his track record. Besides, Axelrod does have age on his side (he actually turned 26 in late July) and he is a control pitcher and former 30th-round pick who was released as a reliever from the San Diego system in 2009, signed out of independent ball and had never before pitched in the big leagues. Would you want to be the one to tell him that he could not make his big league debut because of an innings limit?
2. Liam Hendriks, 22, Twins (+54). At 22, the Perth, Austrialia, native was permitted to make his major league debut and three more starts in a meaningless September for Minnesota.
3. Eric Surkamp, 23, Giants (+44). The lefty from North Carolina State has a swing-and-miss curveball that recalls the Zito of his prime. Surkamp began the year in high-A ball and finished it with six games in the big leagues, proving once again that San Francisco may be the most aggressive team in baseball when it comes to letting young pitchers throw.
4. Chris Schwinden, 24, Mets (+43). He became the Mets' version of Axelrod -- or their next version of Dillon Gee, whom I red flagged last year before he hit a second-half wall (5.25 ERA). The Mets were supposed to give one courtesy September appearance to Schwinden, a guy with an underwhelming fastball who has become an overachiever, but because of injuries on the staff he made four of them to go well beyond his previous high, from 2009.
5. Nathan Eovaldi, 21, Dodgers (+39 1/3). The youngest pitcher on the list, Eovaldi made six starts for the Dodgers after his August promotion from Double-A before they put him in the bullpen for most of September due to innings restrictions. Eovaldi had Tommy John surgery as a high school junior and never before had topped 100 innings in a season.
6. Mike Leake, 23, Reds (+36 2/3). Reds GM Walt Jocketty targeted an increase of between 20 and 30 innings for Leake in 2010, but allowed him to slightly surpass that goal. Leake also made his minor-league debut this year, getting two tuneup games in Triple-A. Leake bears watching because he is not a prototypical workhorse. In two major league seasons, the 185-pound Leake is 14-5 in the first half and 6-8 in the second.
7. Michael Pineda, 22, Mariners (+31 2/3). Pineda showed signs of wear last season. He was 2-6 with a 5.38 ERA in his final 13 starts. The Mariners were concerned about his innings, so they dialed back his work in September, giving him just three starts in the month and doing so with six, six and 10 days of rest. That last start - he threw 81 pitches in four innings, then was shut down for the season -- put him over the threshold. Now, after having been traded last week, he will battle the Year-After Effect in a Yankees uniform.
8. Zach Stewart, 24, White Sox (+31 2/3). Stewart logged 168 innings over a season in which he was traded from the Blue Jays to the White Sox. Chicago started him eight times after the trade, all with an extra day of rest, including once when he flirted with a perfect game.

Savory, smoky and slightly sweet, these are great with roast pork loin, a hearty bowl of black bean soup or barbecued chicken legs and coleslaw. Dotted with creme fraiche, they make an exotic appetizer.
Sweet bananas combined with oranges, cilantro and lime juice create a fresh relish to serve with mild, white-fleshed fish, or try it alongside roast chicken or pork.
This banana quick bread is full of chocolate chips and toasted heart-healthy walnuts so you get a taste of nuts and chocolate in each bite. This version reduces the fat substantially and uses nonfat buttermilk to make the results extremely moist and tender.
The bananas have to get in and out of the pan in 1 1/2 minutes, no longer, so they stay firm in the center. If you are cooking for 4, you can easily double the recipe; it is important not to crowd the skillet, so get everything ready to go and make it in 2 batches.
Here we layer delicate banana-buttermilk cake with a fluffy Bavarian-style cream that's made low-fat by combining nonfat milk with a reasonable amount of whipping cream. The rich taste makes it hard to believe that this cake has only 300 calories and 3 grams of saturated fat per slice.
Stir chopped gingersnaps, sliced bananas and toasted pecans into softened vanilla frozen yogurt for a quick, crowd-pleasing dessert.
Kids will love dipping bananas in melted chocolate and rolling them in coconut to make this tasty frozen treat.
Bananas are one of the top fresh fruits we consume, with Americans eating an average of 30 pounds of bananas per year. If you're looking for more healthy ways to eat bananas, blend bananas into smoothie recipes and ice cream recipes—even make banana pudding pops. Bake up a batch of banana muffins and fill your house with an irresistible aroma. Slice a banana over your morning cereal for a nutritional boost or stash a banana in your purse for a quick and healthy snack. From traditional banana breads to savory recipes, bananas are a welcome addition to any meal.

Why I perform better 1. I like to swim against the flow 2. I keep on swimming 3. We're looking for the most raging streams 4. We have been doing that for more than 10 years . . . Excerpt from testimonials on ecademy: It took a while for me to 'get' Andreas, and at times I'm still not sure I do, but he never fails to elicit a reaction from me. On good days it's a smile or a laugh - on bad days it's words too rude to print ;-) . But overall I get the impression that Andreas knows his stuff, is very good at his job and is well worth knowing. He tells it like it is and takes no prisoners, and is extremely helpful where he can be. His coldcalling skills don't come cheap - but he's worth it. Nikki "SEO Expert" Pilkington [ 24-Jan-08 6:28pm ] I've so far only corresponded with Andreas via his telemarketing club and a couple of short personal messages. When I first joined ecademy his blogs stood out like a sore thumb - mainly because I had no idea what he was talking about!! But beneath his sometimes cryptic postings, I believe, lies a very unique and wise man. His comments on how to improve my cold calling have been very useful indeed.More importantly my cold calling results have dramatically improved over a very short period of time. Andreas guides rather than directs, enabling maximum learning. I look forward to getting to know him better. Martin Halfacre [ 17-Jan-07 2:32pm ] Andreas has been extremely generous in sharing his expertise and knowledge. His approach to cold calling is really about taking out the 'cold' element, rather if you follow his approach, you will soon find that both you and your prospect are 'warm', because the focus is about building a relationship rather than being too focused on the outcome. I thoroughly recommend a conversation with Andreas if you want to overcome your fear of picking up the phone. Elaine Gold [ 10-Dec-06 3:38pm ] Very impressed with some of Andreas ideas on cold calling; he's one of the few people I've come accross who really seems to understand what it's about and how to be successful with it. Michael Michael Beale [ 7-Dec-06 4:57pm ] I'm repositioning/redefining my "offer" at the moment, and need to ask people for testimonials in that area. After a quick skype chat with Andreas, I made my first "semi-cold" call. I say semi-cold because I've dealt with the person I called before and we get on ok, but I managed to go through a basic script Andreas gave me, keeping the purpose of the call (asking for a testimonial) in mind. The person I called seemed very pleased to be asked, and said they would send one over straight away. After a long time procrastinating, I now feel much happier about the idea of cold calling and as a side effect of this and of my recent reevaluation of my offering I now know how to identify who I should be calling and what I should be saying. Thanks, Andreas, for giving me the extra push I needed. Derek Derek Sorensen [ 8-Nov-06 4:47pm ] Customer credits on arow-biz

"I have known Andreas some five or six years as an online acquaintance on Ecademy and in other online places.I know him as an expert in cold calling, and a social media technocrat, with added intuition. Unafraid of fun or a 'different' thinking, he's only the more savvy for it."
"Hallo lieber Andreas, ich danke Dir für Deinen Tipp im April, bei Christian Hanisch ein Seminar zu belegen. Du hattest mir schon früher von ihm erzählt, aber da kam es noch nicht bei mir an. Aber Du bist ja hartnäckig. Diesmal war es der richtige Zeitpunkt. Ich machte die Weiterbildung "Systemischer Coach ICI" / "Systemischer Aufstellungsleiter ICI" bei Christian Hanisch E U R O P E A N Business Ecademy für Führung - Training - Coaching-Vertrieb 7 Mirrors Consulting GmbH Seitdem hat sich viel Positives in meinem Leben getan. Nochmals vielen Dank Annette"

"A week ago I attended a seminar with Andreas: How to make appointments on the phone. He is really good! I got new insights and ideas, which will not only help me on the phone, but also in my own work as a speaker and trainer. I learnt a lot and it works. Thank you very much Wolfgang Boenisch"
"I haven't know Mr. Wiedow long but he has already been a tremendous help. I have found him to be a great source for business development information, friendly, professional and an all-round inspiration! I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in the art of successful living."
"Dear Andreas, in fact this is the first testimonial I am posting on this platform. As you were the person who invited me to ecademy quite some time ago, it's a pleasure for me now that I just got "active" here myself, letting all people reading this know, that I consider you a real great networker and I very much like your special posting-style, which is always with a certain sense of humour. Warm regards, Christine"
"Dear Andreas, I am very sorry to inform the language you use in mails is not liked to me .i am sorry that u may have got admired by many people and good ratings .but u should not write like that being in such a big position.you would have sent the same messages to many persons .people would have avoided ,but i am not like that i am open and straight forward.If there is any mistakes please be open to me. Please dream by seeing the mails and your network you may think that you are intelligent people will listen to u for what ever you say and rest of them are fools that is wrong my dear friend . you may be a top person but i dont care please change your attitude and learn how to communicate with people. Regards, Krishna prasad "
"Andreas Wiedow ist ein tatsächlicher "business Angel". Mit überdurchschnittlicher Hilfsbereitschaft, kann keine Frage zu "blöd" und kein Kommentar zu "überflüssig" sein. Auch im dritten Anlauf erklärt er mir den "Netzwerkgedanken", so lange bis ich ihn endlich verstanden habe. Eine wahre Bereicherung im virtuellen sowie(dow) im richtigen Leben. Danke! Andreas is a true "business angel". Support beyond expectations! No question can be too "stupid" no comment "too much". With endless patience he keeps explaining "How do we build up a successful network on ecademy". Good to have him here - and in the "real" world. Thank you so much!"
"Andreas has been a great help to me since joining Ecademy, and he's always lightning fast in responding. Thanks Andreas - great to have you in my network!"
"Andreas is intuitive, educated, civilised and very kind! He makes my days with his sense of humour :-) :-) He is an asset, and worthwhile knowing! You learn a lot from Andreas! Highly recommended! "
"I met Andreas on Ecademy and impressed by his kind approach. He is a great person in my network with effective though leadership. He is friendly, approachable, supportive, knowledgeable and obviously a successful businessman. I am grateful and proud to be in his network. His sense of humour and warmth is beyond reproach."
"Andreas is a great find on this network! Unique, interesting and to-the-point conversation! Helpful and kind!! I respect and admire him. yael"
"Ein großes Dankeschön an Herrn Wiedow für ein nettes Gespräch mit wertvollen Tipps und Einblick in ecademy und Yasni. Mir war schon bekannt, welche Kraft ecademy in Sachen Network hat, jedoch kam ich nicht gut zurecht anfangs. Herr Wiedow hat mir einen kurzen Einblick in die Funktionen von ecademy gegeben, die sehr hilfreich für mich sind. Und der kommunikative Unterschied zwischen ecademy und anderen Netzwerken ist mir bewusster geworden. Ganz sicher werde ich zukünftig hier auf ecademy aktiver werden. Ebenso bei Yasni und Yasni-Club. Ich freue mich schon jetzt, noch viel von Herrn Wiedow zu lernen und auf gute und nette Kontakte! Viele Grüße aus Frankfurt...Dagmar Fuchs"
"Andreas like a typhoon, acts effectively and very quickly. He is really friendly person and I commend him for his candour and openness in sharing his experience. I am grateful to be in his network."
"Andreas was the first person I have been connected with, because he his in my region in Francfort. He is fast, intelligent, patient, communicative... well, these are many compliments for one person, but I can tell you that I feel good knowing him around. He always has time for you, he gives you advices and helps wherever he can. Thank you, Andreas, danke, merci :-) Claude"
"Meeting Andreas last week end in Brussels was just a privilege! A truly smart person! Really knows his stuff! I was so pleased to meet you my dear Andreas, My regards to Alice! :-) "
"dear andreas very good and nice to see you in real worthwhile to talk with you and it gives something extra something to think about something to develop in your work and extra in a brief moment you learned us a lesson about networking on a playful way as a xxxxjob what I will remember always warm regards jet ps it explaining the planes how do I start blogging3 branding "
"Andreas is kind, helpful and pay attention to details - corrected my spell mistakes in my email. He even registered a free German profile for my company! Thank you again, Andreas. May your heart keep singing..."
"When I joined the Ecademy , I made a decision to choose what my life was going to be like, rather than just letting it happen to me. One of the key areas that I wanted to change was to find a line of work that I truly enjoyed, as I was feeling unfilled in my career. Andreas!! I hadn't met someone that I felt had the experience and personality that I was looking for. Following my connection on of Andreas, from the first time he donate me good help for my dream I appreciated his laid-back style and clear, confident approach. This was key for me because he had done a great job to explore my self with German net work. helped me to identify my strengths and what I enjoyed doing (my "unique ability") and encouraged me to take the steps needed to find out more about what I was interested in. He showed me that taking simple, small actions can have a massive impact on my life. I have now set up our company Lemorios Holidays with his great support to meet the right direction to lead our company and I continue to work with Andreas through with Ecademy as I'm now expanding my business, and also find it helpful to work on some personal issues. I am so happy and grateful that I have this continuing opportunity to work with Andreas. With his help I now love the work I do and have plenty of free time to explore my other interests. "
"Hallo Andreas, wenn die Winde stärker werden, bauen die Einen Mauern - die Anderen setzen die Segel. Weiter so - Steuermann. Vielen Dank für viel Inupt, Grüße. Arne"
"Check his network site - it looks good ! for an international person like me. I look forward to connect there and here. "

Klare Ansagen, sprühende Energie und ein (bisschen) verrückt - schön Sie in meinem Network zu haben ! Alexander Plath "
H@ns de Bruijn,knows how2performbetter
"Great to be connected with, doesn't spoil one word, and is so right! Must be connected in your network!"
"Andreas is an man of many talents who, if you allow him, may lead you in quite unexpected but definitely useful directions. Connect with him, open your mind, and prepare for an interesting journey. Many thanks Andreas!"
"Andreas, I believe I saw on your profile somewhere, you like onions. The thought struck me; much like an "Onion", you have many layers; can be sharp, spicy, mild and sweet; can be utilized in a variety of ways and is fundamental to many specialties. I totally appreciate that! I appreciate YOU. Glad we met."
"Vorausdenkend und zuvorkommend. Great contact to know. Rivkah Roth DO DNM"
Neil "video podcast" Fairbrother

"Big Potential Like to continue to work with him"
"Andreas matures like wine! When you first come into contact, you may wonder what he is doing! Then after you have observed, connected and then opened your mind up you will realise that this man is brilliant, he has so much to teach and knows so much! Andreas is a master of Social Networking and personal branding, go one, dive in and get to know him!"
"Incredibly tough networker -> helped me getting started on Ecademy (especially using the marketplace) and approves that Germany's "number one" Social Business Network isn´t worth mentioning. Thank you Andreas."
"Potentially the cleverest person in Ecademy. Highly recommended. "
"Andreas is a corner stone at ecademy Germany, and very helpfull and recourcefull. I highly recommend to connect with Andreas. Torsten Kinzelt"
"Andreas is a state of the art example of a supersonic person, being kind and helpful at the same time. He seems to be the GATE for everything - sort of "the Tao-guy". We share the same interest for the 36 Stratagems! he is a stratagist with whom I will always be connected from this day on!"
"Warm, engaging and thoughtful person; I'm very pleased to have conected with Andreas!"
Coaching Nürnberg Ute Reingard Schmidt
"Ein offener und innovativer Geist mit provokativen Ideen, die Menschen bewegen. Vielen Dank für die neuen Impulse, Herr Wiedow Sie haben eine Geschwindigkeit im Denken, bei der Sicherheitsgurte von Nutzen sind. Ich freue mich über eine echte Bereicherung in meinem Business."
" Relentless, more energy than a duracell battery on steroids, and a master of his craft. He is the original blogmeister. Andreas, I salute you. Rating: 10/10. Fraser "
"Reluctant though I am to increase your testimonial clout ( I mean with the magic number of 69 who needs blow jobs on the FP!) Now you have 70 so perhaps your mind will rest on things ethereal and seasonal...just don't mention Satan Claws :) Andreas you are a great friend...you are a friend of the mind and that is extremely rare. You see what others don't even credit exists in people...I knew that from the beginning. Have a good one! Fay "
"Ich habe nach anfänglichen Missverständnissen als "Spätzünder" erfahren dürfen, welch wertvolle Tipps Herr Wiedow gibt! Die Kommunikation ist mir inzwischen in vielen Bereichen meiner Tätigkeit äußerst nützlich! Auch die gravierenden Unterschiede in der Kommunikation zwischen ecademy und anderen Netzwerken sind mir erst in letzter Zeit deutlich geworden. Vielen Dank dafür! Ihr Michael Poths"
"What shall I say about Andreas... he is helpfull, friendly and loyal, he is a pleasant person to communicate with, he has an authentic sense of humour. I'm glad to be connected with Andreas :) "
Rajesh Semrete Selassie Aggarwal
"Appreciated Sincerely the kind response I received from Andreas. The man is Kind, Supportive and Friendly. Great to know you my friend and I am glad that we are connected. Kindest regards Rajesh Semrete Selassie Aggarwal"
"Andreas: Good to have him in your network. Absolutely a valuable asset of this network."
"Andreas hat mir als Neuling hier bei ecademy viele nützliche wie orientierende Tipps und eine freundlich-begleitende Einführung geschenkt. Dafür danke ich ihm herzlich. Tomas"
"I needed to find a top German trainer / speaker to help with a project of mine. It is tough when a precious client and project spreads further than you can reach yourself because you have to pass things on to others. That takes trust. I asked Andreas to guide me because he'd helped me once before. Within two days I had four people keen to talk, all with the right skill and experience, all quality professionals, all people I could work with. If you need to reach into Germany and find talent ~ talk to Andreas. A trusted friend and trusted advisor..."
"It's taken time for me to understand Andreas - as others have said - very sharp, intelligent, sometimes difficult to fathom but ready to help and I have only scratched the surface !!"
"All the previous testimonials plus: I think Andreas is one of the sharpest fellows on here. Sometimes too sharp - sharp meaning with a very finely honed edge that cuts, sometimes deeply; I'd like to think unintentionally. Perhaps some of his brilliance is lost in the translation; not all things benefit from convolution and confounding. "
"Andreas has helped me before I could ask him, and taken the trouble to point me in the right direction with something that has no relevance for him and even though he is extremely busy. Thanks Andreas.:)"
"Andreas responds impromptu to his emails.He is kind with his time as he did help me to get very crucial contacts from a company in his country,(Deutsch eland).His also bilingual.Meet this guy."
"I am glad to be invited to be part of Andreas network. As many of my good friends have confirmed, he is a Giver who loves to share his many gifts with passion. He is a warm and caring person who loves to help others. I am looking forward to learning more and wish Andreas every success in his endeavors."
"Andreas and those like him to me are ecademy, whenever you need him he is always there, no exception ! :)"
"I am happy to have you as a Networking Friend. A person who helps without being asked to help, is a great person. You are great"
"A quick and shart mind, but always ready to help"
"Andreas is a fast networker, and Germanys raked no. one. He was very kind to point me in the direction I needed to go. I give him my highest reccomendation. Jesper "
"Don't get confused by Andreas - good approach work is about quickly engaging the future client and then delivering the stated advantage, which Andreas is more than capable of doing highly professionally and very consistently!"
"Andreas is a wonderful person and human being. Full of intelligence, humor and awareness of the world around us! He gives everything he can to everybody and is very helpful and positive! He can be provoking, but always to get the best out of his friends and contacts. I recommend him highly. "
"Andreas has given his expert suggestions freely. Very, very useful. Happy to know him and his wife Alice in person. "
"Andreas is master of networking! Im very happy and glad to have such an expert as a global Friend! If you come to Portugal, please feel free, i will be happy to assist and help. ..! Be very careful with the olive oil leaves...! Warm regards! Victor Marques"
"One of the most unusual networkers you are likely to come across. His intellect defies and confuses those around him ... and sometimes himself. A dark horse with deep insight in the future. "
"Great networking in action with bells on! Andreas is one of the most prolific bloggers on Ecademy and I never fail to be amused by his tweaky blogs and pinkly comments. I can't say I always understand them but therein lies the joy of following Andreas's blogs, smiling in awe at his unfurling marketing wizardry. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes serious, sometimes inflammatory, sometimes soulful, Andreas never fails to entertain, challenging the grey matter in the process. On a personal note, Andreas has been very supportive to me via pm's when the occasional life crises has come my way and he was one of the Ecademists who came to my rescue when a European debt collection company were hounding my daughter. Andreas took the trouble to translate some text for me and with my express permission, disseminated my initial disgruntled posting around Europe so the company in question will I'm sure, be left in no doubt to the power of networking and the sense of community which a platform such as Ecademy engenders. And now I'm looking forward to meeting Andreas and his lovely wife Alice in person! Thanks again Andreas, you stand out like a beacon in this place."
"Andreas, thanks for the wealth of information you provide and thought provoking blogs!"
"Andreas' thought-provoking and entertaining writing makes him shine like a star in the often dreary vacuum of the blogosphere!"
"Andreas has given freely of his expertise, has entertained me with his fabulous sense of humor, and sets the bar for the rest of us on Ecademy! I've been blessed to have met him early on in my Ecademy life. Thank you, Andreas, for your feedback, wit, and insightful commentary!! Regards- Jessica.O"
"Well what can I say - that hasn't already been said? Not much really - but I'll say it again anyway, Andreas is a true Ecademist and a very straight person, with a wry sense of humour, and an extremely sharp and incisive mind. I am amazed at his energy and activity level, and appreciate his non-conventional view and attitudes, and his altruistic and giving nature. Angus Whitton"
"Andreas is a gentleman, an entertainment to read, and a sage at the same time - a tall order which he handles with equanimity and genuineness. The passion and help he gives others stands out - 'how can I serve others' appears to be his daily mantra. It's been worth joining Ecademy for many reasons, to have 'met' Andreas is certainly one of them."
"Andreas has helped me to better understand Ecademy and how to use it. He has been a mentor for me in various ways and I totally respect his opinion and appreciate the time he spends trying to help me. A good man, well worth listening to."
Naz Daud Franchise Business Opportunity
"Business Franchise Opportunity | Business Franchises & UK Business Directory | Ireland Business Franchise Opportunity Andreas, In my humble opinion... is a genius... I am scared to miss a single blog just in case he says something really interesting Naz My MarketPlace Adverts | My Testimonials "
"I'm always amused if not bemused by Andreas. He's a warm and generous person and full of useful and intelligent advice and I've enjoyed getting to know him through Ecademy. Thanks Andreas"
"Andreas has been extremely generous in sharing his expertise and knowledge. His approach to cold calling is really about taking out the 'cold' element, rather if you follow his approach, you will soon find that both you and your prospect are 'warm', because the focus is about building a relationship rather than being too focused on the outcome. I thoroughly recommend a conversation with Andreas if you want to overcome your fear of picking up the phone."
"Very impressed with some of Andreas ideas on cold calling; he's one of the few people I've come accross who really seems to understand what it's about and how to be successful with it. Michael"
"You speak with Andreas, he takes the time to listen to you, and if you listen to what he says, and how he transfers his experiences to your situation you get INSTAND benefits! Thank you Andreas for your support!"
"I'm repositioning/redefining my "offer" at the moment, and need to ask people for testimonials in that area. After a quick skype chat with Andreas, I made my first "semi-cold" call. I say semi-cold because I've dealt with the person I called before and we get on ok, but I managed to go through a basic script Andreas gave me, keeping the purpose of the call (asking for a testimonial) in mind. The person I called seemed very pleased to be asked, and said they would send one over straight away. After a long time procrastinating, I now feel much happier about the idea of cold calling and as a side effect of this and of my recent reevaluation of my offering I now know how to identify who I should be calling and what I should be saying. Thanks, Andreas, for giving me the extra push I needed. Derek"
"Andreas You are Inspiring. It is a pleasure to know you through Ecademy and I look forward to meeting you in person. The Day Of The Schmunzelgrinner Has Come."

The 100th anniversary of the birth of British archaeologist and anthropologist Mary Leakey is celebrated with a Google doodle depicting her at work on a dig.
Leakey was born on February 6, 1913 and died in December 1996. She changed her name when she married Louis Leakey, also an anthropologist, in 1936. Her maiden name was Nicol.
She is best known for her discovery of the first fossilised Proconsul skull, the skull of an extinct ape which is believed to be an ancestor of humans. Much of her work took place at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania.

Paint arrive in powder form and are to be mixed with Glass Medium. Use a palette knife to mix. Glossy, semi-opaque dark blue when applied in the traditional "puddle, push, pull" method. Mix 1:1 with Glass Medium then add a drop or two of water to allow color to flow. Use less Glass Medium to create a thicker paint and use a bamboo skewer to color in areas that are to be more opaque. Semi-transparent watercolor effects can be achieved by thinning with water and applying color allowing it to run or to disperse on the surface. Alternatively, you can sift the paints while in powder form to the fused glass surface. There is lots of experimentation to be done with these paints! It is a very versatile product. Firing is cone 016 or from 1490F to 1525F in a ceramic or a glass kiln. Unique Glass Colors hold their color to a much higher temperature when used on ceramic or porcelain bisque. Paints may be capped or uncapped. Test your paints first to see which look you prefer.

Former Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Lisa Steed has been in the news of late. And none of it's been good for the increasingly beleaguered onetime star of Utah DUI enforcement.
Her tale of woe after being fired by UHP and now facing a lawsuit filed by outraged drivers whom she arrested and charged with DUIs, even when they were allegedly sober, hit national TV screens on ABC News.
The New York Times also covered the lawsuit, noting that despite her passion for police work and her "wide smile," Steed developed an ever-growing list of complaints and allegations by drivers focusing on arrests she had made of drivers who had either not been drinking or were not impaired.
City Weekly gave voice to many of the initial concerns about Steed's once-stellar career at UHP back in September 2010 in a cover story titled "SuperTrooper."
It referenced numerous dashcam videos from Steed's patrol car that revealed she had committed numerous violations of UHP policy while conducting DUI stops and arrests and included interviews with drivers whose encounters with Steed had all but derailed their lives.
Waht A Real Pig!!!!
This low life should NEVER be employed as a LEO ever again, anywhere. What she has done is far worse than most any common criminal, because she is supposed to represent JUSTICE, and honesty, and integrity. Mandatory jail time, and SEVERE punishment should be SOP for police officers who not only break the law but blatantly abuse their powers by falsifying reports and fabricating charges. ZERO tolerance and substantial jail time.
So my question is. . . . At what point did officials decide that it would be a good idea to review her dash camera tapes? Only after complaints were logged? Sounds to me like "numerous violations" could have been discovered and addressed before many of these people had their lives ruined by an over zealous police officer.

Emeritus status is an honorary title awarded for distinguished service to the academic community. The title may be bestowed on a faculty member who is entering permanent retirement and who has served the University and academic community with distinction. The bestowal of Emeritus status is a distinctive honor, not a right.
Criteria for Nomination
Nomination Process
1. In order for the retiring faculty member to be considered for Emeritus/Emerita status, he/she must be nominated by the appropriate College/School Dean, chairperson of department, or a tenured member of the University.
2. Upon nomination, the candidate must submit to the Emeritus Committee an application for such status which includes an updated CV, three letters of recommendation (two of which must be from currently employed faculty members at Marywood) that discuss the individual's contributions in outstanding teaching, service, scholarship, or creative work throughout her/his career at Marywood University.
3. After review of the application, the Emeritus Committee submits its recommendations for such status to the Vice President for Academic Affairs who reviews the application and submits a recommendation, along with the Emeritus Committee's recommendation, to the University President.
The University President will review the applications for Emeritus/Emerita status and render a final decision.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo – Vertigo Confirms Creators And Schedule | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors
DC Comics has confirmed the story that crime thriller writer Denise Mina and Batman Noel artist Leonardo Manco will be adapting the Vertigo graphic novel version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, also mentioning that Lee Bermejo has done the cover (above) and Andrea Mutti will also be on art.
Mina has already talked about creating a "tougher, less attractive" Lisbeth Salander but Bermejo's version above still looks a bit of all right.
It's just one of three adaptations of the Millennium trilogy happening in 2012, with Dupuis publishing a version by Sylvain Runberg And José Homs in France, and a Japanese-based manga version as well.
DC's version will see each novel split into two volumes, the first to be published in November 2012 with subsequent volumes to come.
I haven't even watched the originals...am I the only one Tattooed out? It seems like the books, movies, etc have been shoved down my throat for 3 years at least now. I cannot wait for TGWTDT:The Musical.

text: There's just somethin' cool about a '67-'69 Camaro. Although I can't pinpoint it exactly, for whatever reason, the Camaro has, still does, and always will shock and awe audiences. If you were to jump behind the wheel, one thing that won't leave you dazed and confused is the Camaro's handling and braking. In fact, it won't take long for you to realize the vintage steel you're piloting was meant to go fast and straight--period. What we ultimately want is to go back to the future. What I mean by that is that '67-'69 F-Body owners want an early-model Camaro because they're just plain out rad. At the same time, they want to bring the inadequate features (such as handling and braking) up to 21st Century standards. If there's one company that knows about bringing vintage steel's lack of drivability up to par it's Heidt's Hot Rod Shop. For years, Heidt's has been making all sorts of suspension components for all types of hot rods. Most recently, Heidt's has shifted a lot of focus to developing top-notch '67-'69 Camaro frontend suspension pieces. Heidt's figured the biggest way to make a dent in improvement is to develop new control arms and spindles up front.Heidt's has come up with a new and improved 2-inch drop steel spindle that not only lowers First-Gen Camaros a full 2 inches, but also lowers the center of gravity of the car for better handling. For maximum performance, Heidt's decided it would be best if the upper ball joint was raised to the optimum amount, 1 1/2 inches, to fully correct camber action during suspension travel. Complementing the new drop spindles is Heidt's tubular '67-'81 control arms. Heidt's Hot Rod Shop Camaro control arms come in standard width, but are narrowed. The control arms are narrowed 1 inch per side, which allows the tire to be pulled in, and ultimately means the user can run a bigger wheel/tire combo up front. The upper control arms are constructed from a 1 1/4-inch diameter tube and include offset cross-shafts for ease of alignment, which permits experimentation with caster settings that will allow better straightline tracking as well as better feel in the corners. As for the lower 1 1/2-inch diameter tube control arms, Heidt's offers two different styles. One arm is designed to work with stock springs and shocks, and the other is designed to work with coilover shocks. Heidt's offers a full line of QA1 fully adjustable billet aluminum coilovers with an assortment of springs. All arms come complete with ball joints, urethane bushings to tighten up the suspension, and allow no deflection under cornering loads for absolutely solid positive handling, and powdercoated for durability. Now it's time to talk about brakes. Although there were different brake combinations on '67-'69 Camaros, nothing compares to a newly designed system. Wilwood Engineering, which works in correlation with Heidt's, is a braking company that has had success on and off the track. Wilwood has taken what they have learned through years of experience and incorporated it into several early Camaro disc brake system options, one option being the Dynalite Big Brake Front Hub Kits. Included in the kit is forged billet Dynalite 4 Piston Calipers manufactured from stress-flow forged billet bodies. The calipers generate high clamping force without deflection from four stainless steel pistons and the square faced O-rings provide long service and positive piston retraction on release. The calipers also feature Wilwood's SRS stainless steel bridge plates. The spring-loaded action of the SRS plates eliminates pad rattle and dampens the vibration harmonics that can contribute to pad squeal. The hub and rotor is a two-piece set. The aluminum hubs are forged into shape under high heat and pressure and then CNC-machined for precise fit. Aluminum hats or backside mount plates are supplied for solid rotor mounting directly to the hub. The hubs are shipped complete with bearing races installed, new bearings, grease seals, screw-on billet aluminum hubcaps, and 1/2-20 RH Grade 8 wheel lug studs. The second part of the assembly is an SRP or HP Series 12.19-inch Vented Iron rotor, which are manufactured from premium grade, long-grain carbon iron to provide long wear with high thermal stability and resistance to distortion. The kit also comes with PolyMatrix 7112 "T" compound pads, CNC-machined brackets, and Grade 8 hardware. However, fitting and flexlines must be ordered separately. Of course, all of this sounds great, but does it work? As I type, theSC staff is rounding up a '67-'69 Camaro, as close to stock as possible, for installation and testing. So once we know, you'll know. Until then, be on the look out. The new and improved Heidt's spindles provide several benefits to Camaro owners. First, the spindles lower the Camaro 2 inches without affecting the suspension travel. The spindles also create a lower stance for the car, which enhances handling. Heidt's spindles are a must-have for any Camaro enthusiasts looking to amp their car's performance. The new and improved Heidt's spindles provide several benefits to Camaro owners. First, th Wilwood Engineering has several kits for early Camaros, one being the performance-driven kit known as the Dynalite Big Brake Front Hub Kit. It features forged billet Dynalite 4-Piston Calipers, forged aluminum hub with bearings, SRP or HP Series 12.19-inch vented iron rotor, PolyMatrix 7112 "T" compound pads, and more.

For that reason, the Forged Dynalite 4-Piston calipers are manufactured from stress-flow forged billet bodies. The process of stress-flow forging realigns the metal's grain structure within the contour of the caliper body. This process eliminates the breaks and interruptions to the internal grain structure that occur when machining a straight block billet. The calipers are also offered in either a black, red, or polished finish. Wilwood puts every effort into developing the most efficient product possible.

Platini: Europe-wide 2020 will be one-off
UEFA president Michel Platini today stated that his idea of playing the Euro 2020 finals in 12 European cities across the continent would be a one-off for that tournament only.
Platini said UEFA were waiting from feedback from the 53 European member associations before making a decision - in the past the European Championships have been in just one or two countries.
The Football Association have already registered their interest in hosting the Euro 2020 final at Wembley Stadium should the new format be brought in.
Platini told a news conference in St Petersburg: "It is an idea that will be discussed by all national associations within their relevant meetings.
"It is an idea and that concerns the 60th anniversary of the Euros in 2020, and to carry the game further than just played in one country but extend it to 12 European cities.
"Sometimes it is a bit costly and some countries cannot host the Euros because of the forbidding cost. We are waiting for feedback to say whether they like it or not and whether in 2020 we can organise a Euro in several European cities - but only 2020 mind you.
Meanwhile, Gibraltar has been admitted as a provisional member of UEFA after a long battle by the tiny British colony.
The Gibraltar FA is one of the oldest in the world but its inclusion in UEFA was blocked by Spain until a victory in August in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
UEFA said a decision on the admission of the Gibraltar as a full member would be taken at the Congress in London in May.

Fun Happy Hour – Enjoy the happy hour, espeically $2 mug club Tuesdays! The pizza is tasty and the best deal. I've tried the lunches and dinners and only been so-so satisfied. Okay food but nothing I really crave. Did not care for the flank steak chili. There was no flank steak and it arrived lukewarm. Blah. Waitress didn't give me the $2 mug club price because I didn't tell her before she rung up the bill. On the half dozen previous Tuesday you didn't have to tell the waitress, she automatically gave the club price. I apologized but the waitress was still a pain about having to re-ring my bill. Hey, full price was $5 and had she not been rude I would've tipped her the difference. Still a fun place for a brew after work or to unwind.
Safe standby - always satisfying – I have never had a single issue here. The menu is diverse and the staff is decent. I dont drink beer but seem to enjoy the food that is served at brewery restuarants. Rock Bottom doesnt disappoint. I usually stop here with friends if we have a case of the indecisives, its reasonably priced and its managed well, no long waits to be seated and no long waits to be served. I like the Titan Toothpicks and the Chicken with asparagus. Dessert is outstanding - the carrot cake, the brownie and especially the apple crisp. I do not like the live music, so that I try to avoid. The crowd that comes for the live music is unhip and obnoxious. Stop by if you have to satisfy a group of people in a timely manner, you wont be disappointed.
Great drafts and Awesome Food – I've been to Rock Bottom at several of their locations and everyone has outstanding service and great drafts. My favorite thing to get there is the Ball Park Prezel. It has with out a doubt the best dipping cheese ever. Also, I love their Brewer's Club. Although be aware that it is a huge sandwich and if you are having a beer as well, I recommend splitting the sandwich and sharing it. If you've never been before, defiantly get the beer sampler. They bring out large "shots" oh each beer so that you can taste it and pick your favorite.
Bumping music and brews by the pint bring in a cardigan-and-khakis crowd of all ages. – In Short
Striped red awnings and patio seating out front give off a kind of bistro feel, but with a much more masculine vibe. The menu is a mix of standards like nachos and burgers, and more trendy dishes like sesame calamari, or seared Ahi tuna. Still, it's a pub, so indulge in guilty pleasures like the fried cheese sampler--gooey smoked mozzarella, provolone and pepper jack in a golden batter.
Awesome happy hour and late night – This place has the best and cheapest microbrews in town, probably because they brew it on site. With 3 rotating beers you know that you are always in for something tasty and new. The live bands Thursday thru Friday and Kareoke on Sundays really adds to the "where should I go for some fun tonight?!" All in all the Rock Bottom is where I like to hang out after I get off work or to catch the local teams game.
Frat boys go upscale – Although I have eaten here many times without incident (unlike other reviewers' experiences), and I usually enjoy the non-diet-friendly food, I suspect that this is what happens when frat boys get some "sophistication" and a bank account. The decor is upscale pub, but the menu looks like Applebee's with a 20% premium on price, perhaps to pay the food stylist. It's a reliable place to eat, and would be inoffensive except for the noise of the band coming from upstairs. Men seem to be quite happy here with sports on TV and no women sitting at the bar -- kind of like a sports bar that isn't a sports bar. Also, considering it's generic feel, it's not surprising to find it is a national chain.
Best Brewery - Bottoms Up! – I love this place. The atmosphere is fun, the food is surprisingly tasty (esp. their salads), the brews are great, and sometimes the bands sound fabulous, too!
Home away from home – Rock Bottom is the only pub worth going to in Bellevue and I have to admit I am a regular there. (Guess I'm yuppie scum from some of the reviews). I love the food. The beer is premium! Humpback & red are the best. The service is always good and maybe it's because we are regulars but they treat us well and go that extra length to make our meals enjoyable and do special meal requests for us.

The two are not related in fact, high efficiency furnaces typically have a lesser temp rise. The differences you are feeling is ducting distribution and fan speeds.
Hi folks,
Just a general question for you. Is it true, that the 95% efficiency furnace will produce warmer heat coming out of the registery than a unit that only does 80% efficiency?
In my previous home, I had a 95% efficiency unit installed and the air coming out of the registery was very hot. Since we moved, this unit is only 80% efficiency, is air coming out is only luke warm....
please let me know
The two are not related in fact, high efficiency furnaces typically have a lesser temp rise. The differences you are feeling is ducting distribution and fan speeds.
If Payback is so important to you, why are you not driving a Toyota Corolla?
If you also have central air conditioning, the fan speed may be set to promote that which typically wants a higher flow rate than heating. It doesn't always change based on the mode, you have to do that yourself. Many times, you can adjust the fan speed to be slower which allows the air to absorb more heat as it goes through the heat exchanger. You must keep it above the minimum for the system's heat output or you risk overheating the exchanger. The manual should show you your valid options.
Jim DeBruycker
Important note - I'm not a pro
Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
If the ducts and fan speed were the same you would get air theoretically 15% warmer. You are putting 15% of your heat in the garbage can in this house.
If our GOV banned 80% rigs, the cost of the 95% units would drop dramatically.
The efficiency of the unit has NOTHING to do with how hot the exiting air is...it is all dependent on the heat exchanger design, the fan speed, and the distance and state of the ductwork before it hits the register. If the ducts run through unheated space and are uninsulated, that may be the primary reason the exit temp is cooler. Have you actually measured the temperature at the register? Just like a cooling breeze in the summer feels cool, it will feel cool in the winter, too if you can't slow it down a bit.

Actually if you compare similar size furnace from same manufacturer you will quickly notice higher recommended temp rise on 80%ers in order to maintain higher flue temps to avoid condensation of ht exh and flue. Thus 90%ers which there is a desire to condense have lower temp rise allowances meaning more cfm's across ht exh, resulting in cooler discharge temps.
If Payback is so important to you, why are you not driving a Toyota Corolla?
yes, the 80% out puts temp at the register at 131, returns 72 when themostat is set at 74 (winter). The temp rise is 59, as this is when fan speed is set at med-low.
Yep, which is why I bought another 80 the last time round.
High efficiencies are still too expensive to make the investment worthwhile. At least for people that don't intend to die in the houses they currently live in.
It's hard to fix a Trane.
Which is why I went for a Bryant 80 variable speed instead (I'm willing to pay for peace and quiet).
I'm surprised you need heating in California.
Gets a bit chilly at home in California from time to time.
I installed a Rheem 93% efficiency condensing gas furnace a few years ago. It replaced a unit that was about 20 years old and no more than an 80% efficiency rated model. The newer unit is 2 stage......has a low fire and a high fire burner and also the fan speeds change with the burner output. NO doubt whatsoever it saves money and is warmer.......I saw about a 20% lower gas bill the first year I had it......and it IS warmer at the heat registers.
The efficiency rating has nothing to do with the heat temperature though. I did the heat rise measurments instructed in the install manual. It was perfect and I did not need to change the fan speeds to adjust that temp. rise. The high efficiency is simply from not letting wasted heat go up the chimney.......I have luke warm air going out a side wall thru pvc now instead of hot gas going up a chimney. Most of the heat energy gets into the house instead of going out the chimney....
I love the unit and am going to install a second one in another unit I have that still has an older low efficiency furnace.....
curious, what was your temp rise when you did the measurement? Mine was at 59 degrees which is right smack in the middle of the unit manual 40~70.
I think my temp rise was right in that area.....60 degrees. ?? It's been a while....
My house is old.....has sheet metal ductwork that is not insulated. I turn the heat down during the day and at night to save $$$. It fairly quickly warms up once I turn the heat up.....but hot air heat in an older poorly insulated home is not great. I added a humidifier when I installed the furnace and between the 2 items it is better but I sure wish I had a fireplace or pellet or wood stove.......
IAN: Is that a tree house Ballvalve?
Not a tree house, but bolted to bedrock just above two waterfalls.
I'll try and post another opposite view.
