Gun case
How do you tell if a gun case is approved for airline travel? I was w/ the sales man at Dicks and BPS and neither had a positive answer so I did not buy a case.

Best way is to go to the company's web site to see if it is approved for airline travel.
Go to airline link and look to see there requirements.
Or stick with the main group: pelligan, Tuffcase, Cabelas, Basspro, americase. and i am sure that there are others. Make sure you have a 2 gun case in case you decide to take a 2nd rifle along in the future.James Grage - New Mexico

Agree with James about going to the airline you are flying and see what their requirements are for certain. They change. Also make sure you check every carrier you are flying.
Generally, Locking, hard cases within the dimensions prescribed will work. Two rifles max usually. (How you would carry more, I have no idea)Practice whispering before you leave for Africa!

I've been to Africa 3 times with a Tuffpak and love it, I pack the rifles, binoc and some of the heavier clothes as extra protection. I also put the rifle in a soft case and put that in the tuffpak and off it goes. So far the airlines have not been able to damage it and it's not as heavy as metal cases so you stay under the weight limit for the airline. Tuffpak

In this recipe remake, we replaced much of the oil with fruit-based fat replacement, reduced the amount of unsweetened chocolate but added cocoa powder and used half as many nuts but toasted them for maximum flavor. The result retained the original's tender crumb and rich, chocolaty flavor with only one-third the fat.

Advanced Energy Savings Tips
Want to do more to save energy at home? Consider implementing these advanced energy savings tips.
Assessing Home Energy Use
- Home energy assessments (also called energy audits) can tell you how your home is performing, where there are inefficiencies and opportunities to save energy and money on your monthly utility bills. You can conduct a home energy assessment yourself using tips here or you can hire a professional. Tips for hiring a contractor.
Appliances and Electronics
- When shopping for new appliances and electronics, remember that they have two price tags — the purchase price and the lifetime operating cost. If yellow energy guide labels are available, compare energy efficiency information. Look for Energy Star-rated models to help keep operating costs down long-term.
Insulation and Air Leaks
- Install weatherstripping around windows and doors to seal air leaks and reduce drafts. Also, seal around electrical, cable and piping openings from the outside. You can seal the leaks yourself or hire a certified professional. Tips for hiring a contractor.
- Poorly insulated attics and basements can send the energy you paid for out of your house. Make sure they are properly insulated to save energy and money. Learn more.
- Drafts and energy leaks from your windows can increase your heating and cooling bills. To save on costs and improve your home's comfort, consider replacing single-pane windows with double-pane ones containing high-performance glass.
Heating/Cooling and Water
- Consider installing ceiling fans. Depending on the setting, fans can push cool or warm air down to make you more comfortable without raising or lowering the heat or air conditioning. Fans should spin clockwise in the winter and counterclockwise in the summer. For most fans, you can easily change the setting with a switch in the center of the fan on the motor cover. Remember to turn fans off when leaving rooms.
- If your central air-conditioning unit is more than 12 years old, replacing it with an Energy Star-rated unit may cut cooling costs up to 30 percent.
- If you have an electric water heater, you can insulate the water heater pipes so that the heat produced isn't wasted. See instructions here. However, if you heater is gas or oil, you should hire a qualified plumbing and heating contractor.

By JOE APPEL
Alsace is France's most distinct wine region. Its wines -- imposingly full-bodied whites from Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Gewurztraminer, oily textured and extravagantly perfumed -- stand worlds apart from the precise, salt-and-chalk profile established by the Loire Valley, or the lush, sumptuous portrait of Burgundy.
Situated on the country's eastern border, Alsace has changed political hands several times over the centuries, from France to Germany and back again. It retains significant German influence culturally, culinarily and enologically.
Germany has historically been better known for expressions of these grapes that are off-dry, since its colder, northerly climes prevented full fermentation in the days before temperature-controlled tanks. Alsace was known for its dry expressions of the same grapes, although more recently there's been a good amount of convergence. German producers have made more fully dry wines, while Alsatians have become more open to leaving in a little sweetness.
All of this is the dominant Story of Alsatian Wine. Its narrator is the Haut-Rhin, which, despite its name, refers to the southern section of Alsatian wine country. (Because the Rhine River flows north, ending at the North Sea, the "high Rhine" is farther south than the "low Rhine".)
The Bas-Rhin, to the north, has not been producing wine for quite as long as its southern cousin (only since the 12th century, as opposed to roughly the 10th for Haut-Rhin), and it is not home to the most prestigious names such as Zind-Humbrecht, Trimbach, Weinbach and Hugel & Fils. What it lacks in marquee value, though, it more than makes up for in vibrancy, elegance and precision.
"The style of wine is different further south," said Melanie Pfister, the eighth-generation representative of her family's grape-growing and winemaking history. "When tourists come to Alsace, they go to the Haut-Rhin because they want a riper, sweeter, richer style. We keep the drier, more focused style, more finesse."
Although her family's winery in Dahlenheim is only 60 kilometers north of the Haut-Rhin and temperatures are barely cooler, the overall effects of terrain, climate and soil are pronounced. The Vosges mountains offer less protection to the vineyards of the north, resulting in cooler breezes that maintain higher acidity levels in the grapes.
"This is often true of northern wine," she said. "Think of Cote de Nuits in Burgundy, with more finesse than Cote de Beaune; or even the mineral expression of syrah in Cote Rotie as opposed to Chateauneuf-du-Pape ... I am trying to promote our northern wine as a distinct style, our particularity."
Melanie's father, Andre, and mother, Marie-Anne, brought a new focus on quality and ecological sustainability to the family venture in the mid-1970s, but Melanie brings a uniquely worldly perspective. Before returning to Dahlenheim, she trained at some of the best wineries in the world: Zind-Humbrecht, but also Meo-Camuzet (Burgundy), Chateau Cheval Blanc (Saint Emilion in Bordeaux), Chateau d'Yquem (Sauternes) and Craggy Range (New Zealand).
"Through all of my training," she said, "I was seeking to find the attention in each region to tradition and particularity, but only so I could return to Bas-Rhin and do the right thing for this area."
Pfister credits her father with "anticipating the future." Ahead of his time, Andre stopped using herbicides and grew cover crops that interact with soil and roots to "bring a kind of fertilizer, humus, life and diversity to the soil. Now, almost everyone has grass between their rows, and more and more people are using cover crops."
Interestingly, Pfister sees environmental benefits to a relative view on organics. "If you are certified organic, then if you spray, it must be with copper (sulfate). Copper is a heavy metal, and will remain in the soil, kill worms and other fauna. This is against the primary feeling of my father, which is to promote life in the soil.

Three months after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the Northeast, causing more than $70 billion in damage to New York and New Jersey alone, Congress Monday passed a $51 billion aid package by a 62-to-36 vote, the Huffington Post reports.
The package, which is expected to be quickly signed into law by the president, "contains billions for a federal program providing cash grants to disaster victims and roughly $33 billion for long-term reconstruction of battered coastal areas," the Huffington Post reports.
The approval of the relief funds comes about four weeks after a New Year's Day congessional session failed to take action on the bill.
The inaction on the part of the House of Representatives outraged some Connecticut politicians, including Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who wrote in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner:
"Your decision to postpone consideration of a disaster supplemental until after the 113th Congress commences likely delays delivery of relief for months, and therefore delays the process of rebuilding from Sandy. It sends a terrible message to the citizens of the affected states that the leadership of the House of Representatives feels no sense of urgency, with winter upon us, to aid fellow citizens in their great time of need as the Congress has done time and again when other natural disasters have devastated communities elsewhere in the country."
According to the Huffington Post, the delay was tied to Republicans who argued the relief money be offset by cuts to other federal spending. That amendment eventually failed.

Sun Bear gets new home at San Antonio Zoo
Published On: Nov 09 2012 01:04:04 PM CST
The San Antonio Zoo's newest animal may have a familiar face, but what makes him unique is on his chest.
Bobbles, a nine-year-old sun bear, came to the San Antonio Zoo from the Brownsville Zoo.
Sun bears get their name from the white or yellow crescent markings on their chest. They are the smallest of the world's eight bear species, typically standing between 3.5 and 4.5 feet tall, and weighing between 60-145 pounds.
Sun bears are also known for their distinctively long tongues. Their tongues are almost a foot in length, enabling them to slurp honey from beehives.

text: Dan Crummett Archives Email Author Monsanto to Release New Ag Roundup Formulation Company says new recipe solves leaf damage problem in RRF varieties. Dan Crummett Published on: May 18, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print With Roundup Ready Flex cotton sitting on the launching pad, Monsanto officials say they've discovered existing glyphosate formulations--including their own Roundup agricultural brands--have the potential to cause leaf injury when applied past the four-leaf stage in cotton. To combat the leaf damage for RRF management, which allows applications past the traditional four-leaf stage of growth, Monsanto is preparing MON 3539 – to receive a commercial name later this year. The new formulation does not cause cotton leaf damage with applications throughout the growing season. Monsanto's Roundup Marketing Manager Sarah Vacek looks at leaf damaged cotton sample treated with a "late" 2X rate application of glyphosate. In her other hand is a healthy sample treated with a 2X rate of MON 3539 a new formulation of glyphosate aimed at RRF cotton varieties. While no data is available correlating the leaf damage noted with existing glyphosates and yield reductions, David Rhylander, Monsanto's Director of Traits, says growers using Roundup with Roundup Ready technology have "never seen leaf injury before, and we don't want them to see it with RRF. Our concern is, if the farmer sees leaf injury they will question our technology." Monsanto anticipates having the new Roundup brand agricultural herbicides available to growers before the commercial launch of Roundup Ready Flex. MON 3539 is the only Monsanto herbicide currently labeled for these applications. (It will be available in 2005 exclusively for growers participating in field trials and seed production and is specifically formulated for use in RRF fields. It is NOT registered for sale or use in California.) Fighting perceptions When asked if a new formulation of glyphosate timed to coincide with the release of RRF varieties wouldn't be a red flag to critics of Monsanto who charge the company is trying to introduce proprietary chemicals for its new seed technology, Rhylander explained: "That perception exists. However, we are making this technology broadly available to support grower choice and it will be offered at price points similar to today's products to earn grower business. The solution to leaf problems will be available through licensing agreements." RRF traits are being incorporated by more than a half dozen seed companies, he adds. Rob Ihrig, technical manager for cotton products with Monsanto, says, "The proof will be in the pudding. When our pricing structure is announced, we're confident farmers will not see it as predatory." Rylander further explains Monsanto is now an agricultural company—only. "With recent changes in the industry, Monsanto is primarily a 'seed and trait' company, completely dependent upon farmers and keeping farmers happy with products that offer them value. We want to give them the choices they demand and help them be efficient and profitable." Ease of use and no surprises "We want growers to have the best possible experience with Roundup Ready Flex cotton," says Sarah Vacek, Roundup Marketing Manager. "This technology will allow growers to spray Roundup herbicides registered for use throughout the cotton growing cycle. "The development of MON 3539 reflects our continuing commitment to deliver benefits to growers," she explains. "As soon as the response (leaf damage) was confirmed, we initiated research to determine the cause and then to identify solutions. No one takes weed control and crop safety more seriously than Monsanto. And, we don't want farmers using RRF and seeing damage in their fields."

Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part of the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick, gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far from a comprehensive list.
GNU ccScript offers a class extensible threaded embedded scripting engine for use with the Common C++ GNU package. This engine is also used in Bayonne (the GNU telephony server), and in TOSI (FreeBSD and GNU/Linux PBX integration servers). This engine differs from traditional scripting systems in that it is used to script near real-time state-event systems through deterministic callback step execution rather than the linear and non-deterministic fashion of embedded script libraries such as tcl, and libguile.

Welcome to this week's edition of Holding Court, a column where both sides of a fantasy hockey debate are argued just like in a courtroom, complete with a final verdict. Then you, the DobberHockey readers, can comment on whether justice was properly served! You can also leave ideas in the comments section for other debates to be settled right here in future editions of the column.
Will Shea Weber's overall stats be negatively affected by Ryan Suter's departure from Nashville?
Ever since Ryan Suter decided to leave Nashville to sign with Minnesota, much of the focus has been on how his departure would affect Pekka Rinne, what with half of Nashville's top defensive pairing – one of the best in the league in recent years – now gone. People wondered whether Rinne could remain arguably one of the NHL's top five netminders in wins, and if his stats like GAA or SV% would suffer. What's interesting is that largely lost in all the Rinne discussion was what the impact would be on Suter's longtime defensive partner, Shea Weber.
Yes – Past examples and data point to bad numbers for Weber, especially with less talented players taking Suter's place
Let's get one thing out of the way from the start. Shea Weber is a great defenseman, and even with the departure of Ryan Suter he'll still remain a player that any fantasy hockey GM will want to own in one year and keeper leagues that include defensemen. But he's also not superhuman, and the loss of Suter will no doubt hurt Weber's stats. Here's why….
People might not realize just how good the tandem of Weber and Suter was last season. Keep in mind there were only 19 defenseman in the entire NHL who had 40+ points in 2011-12, and no other NHL team had two representatives in the top ten in defensemen points like Nashville did with Weber (tied for 6th) and Suter (tied for 10th). Even beyond points, Weber (+21) and Suter (+15) combined for an impressive +36, and Suter's reliable blue line presence also allowed Weber to give his owners great peripheral stats, including over 300 combined hits and blocked shots. But now that Suter has left Nashville, Weber's stats definitely will take a hit, quite possibly a BIG hit. For proof, we can look at what happened when other tandems of 40+ point, +10 or better defensemen were split up. Each of the following two examples - one involving Weber himself! – clearly shows how the departure of a 40+ point, +10 or better defenseman has horrible effects on the stats of the other 40+ point, +10 or better defenseman who remains with a team:
2005-06 Ottawa – Wade Redden (65 games, 50 points, +35) and Zdeno Chara (71 games,43 points, +17)
[Chara leaves Ottawa in the offseason]
2006-07 Ottawa – Wade Redden (64 games, 36 points, +1), a drop of 14 points and a staggering -34 change in +/-
2006-07 Nashville - Shea Weber (79 games, 40 points, +13) and Kimmo Timonen (80 games, 55 points, +20)
[Timonen leaves Nashville in the offseason]
2007-08 Nashville - Shea Weber (54 games, 20 points, -6), down 11 points from the previous season (20 points in 54 games projects to 29 points in 79 games) and a huge -19 drop in +/-
These numbers are jaw-dropping on their own, but the truth is that things might actually be worse for Weber than what happened with these other situations, and that is due to how ill-prepared the Predators are to replace Suter with their other defensemen. Looking at what figures to be the Predators defense next season, you have three highly-touted but still very young and inexperienced d-men in Roman Josi, Ryan Ellis and Jonathon Blum (140 total NHL regular season games between them, compared to Suter's 542), two aging veterans in Hal Gill and Scott Hannan (neither one has ever reached 25 points in an NHL season), and a capable but unremarkable player in Kevin Klein. Suter averaged over 26 minutes per game last season (5th in the entire NHL), but none of these other six defensemen even averaged 20 minutes per game. Suter was +15; these other six combined to be a collective -19. Suter had 25 power play points (3rd among all NHL defensemen; Weber had 22 (tied for 6th), with many coming on plays where Suter also factored into the scoring) in over 3:40 of power play time per game, and all six of these other Nashville defensemen combined for a total of nine power play points, with none of the six averaging even half as much power play time per game.
It's clear that no one is going to come close to giving Nashville – and Shea Weber – anything like what Ryan Suter provided in terms of stability and output. What's more, at least Ottawa in 2006-07 had guys like Joe Corvo, Chris Phillips, Andrej Meszaros and Anton Volchenkov to help replace the departed Zdeno Chara and Nashville in 2007-08 had Ryan Suter (oh the irony), Marek Zidlicky and Dan Hamhuis to replace the departed Kimmo Timonen. Seeing this, and knowing the lack of support Weber will receive from his Nashville defense teammates, the only possible conclusion to draw is that his stats will decline as well, perhaps even worse than what happened in these previous two examples.
But wait – I've saved the best (or if you're a Weber owner, the worst) for last. The easiest way to figure out how Shea Weber will likely perform without Ryan Suter is to look to Weber's stats in games where Suter didn't play. It turns out Suter has been an extremely durable player throughout his career, but in 2010-11 he missed a nine game span in October/November. And in those nine games, Weber had only 3 points and a put up a terrible +/- of -8 (Rinne also played uncharacteristically poorly, giving up five goals in one of the games and four goals in three of the other games). So if you're a Weber owner reading this (and everything above), you should be very, very concerned about how his stats will look when faced with the reality of no Suter for an entire season.
No – Weber still has Rinne, and those past examples can be countered
We all know it will be very difficult for Nashville to replace what Ryan Suter gave the team, and of course Shea Weber (as well as Pekka Rinne) would prefer if Suter was still there. But we also can't lose focus of both reality and what we're debating here – this is about statistics, and with the combination of Shea Weber and Pekka Rinne remaining in Nashville there's no reason to worry that Weber's stats will suffer in the wake of Suter's departure.
Let's first look at the two examples cited above, as both can be easily discredited. First, in the case of Wade Redden, it wasn't just Zdeno Chara that left Ottawa after 2005-06, it was also some guy by the name of Dominik Hasek, so of course Redden's stats suffered, as would Weber's if Rinne was leaving too. But we all know that Rinne's staying in Nashville, so the Redden example isn't analogous to what's happening here. And if you look at Shea Weber in 2007-08, he was dealing with a series of injuries all season, including a dislocated kneecap that caused him to miss six weeks and then a leg injury which caused him to miss 11 games. Also, let's not forget that he was still only 22 years old at the time. Weber is now more mature and is 100% healthy, making him far more equipped to deal with Suter's departure now than he was with Timonen's in 2007-08.
What's also interesting is there are an equal number of instances from the same time frame where a 40+ point, +10 or better defenseman left a team and the 40+ point defenseman who remained behind did no worse despite the departure!
Take a look:
2005-06 Los Angeles – Lubimor Visnovsky (80 games, 67 points, +7 and; Joe Corvo (81 games, 40 points , +16)
[Corvo leaves LA in the offseason]
2006-07 Los Angeles – Lubimor Visnovsky (69 games, 58 points, +1), projecting to an identical 67 point pace over 80 games and only off by 6 in +/-
2006-07 Detroit - Nicklas Lidstrom (80 games, 62 points, +40) and Mathieu Schneider (68 games, 52 points, +12)
[Schneider leaves Detroit in the offseason]
2007-08 Detroit – Nicklas Lidstrom (76 games, 70 points, +40), a jump of 8 points despite 4 fewer games, and an unchanged +/-
In each of these cases, the stats for the 40+ point defenseman who remained with the team were virtually unchanged despite the fact that a defenseman - like Suter - who was at or above 40 points and at or above +10 left the team. The point is that you cannot automatically assume that Weber's stats will get worse simply because Suter has left. Great defensemen like Weber find a way to stay great – it's that simple. And for all the talk above about how bad the remaining Nashville defense looks on paper, if you recall LA's defensemen in 2007-08, it was Visnovsky, Rob Blake, and pretty much no one else of note. Plus, who's to say that having less skilled defensemen surrounding Weber will automatically mean that Weber's stats will take a hit? After all, if there's less talent around him, then it stands to reason that Weber will have to carry the offensive load even more, which in turn should translate into more points for someone as talented as he is.
And we also cannot forget the presence of Pekka Rinne, who is a world-class goalie in his own right. Rinne's presence in the Nashville net will certainly help Weber's stats remain great, just as Weber's presence will help solidify Rinne's stats. Looking at an isolated nine game stretch in 2010-11 when Suter didn't play in order to forecast doom for Weber and Rinne is not persuasive, as in that case Suter's absence was unplanned. What's different now is Weber and Rinne (and their teammates) have known for many months that Suter will not be returning to the team, so this time they'll all be well prepared to adjust without a negative effect on their stats.
Another important point that's not even touched on above is Weber's signing of the offer sheet from Philadelphia and Nashville's decision to match. Weber has now seen how important he is to the Predators, and knows that he'll be expected to perform at the level of the $110 million, 14 year deal he signed (including the $68 million signing bonus). Weber fully realizes that he'll be expected to justify that deal, and if anything ownership and fans in Nashville will expect his stats to get even better. And as a multiple time first team all-star and Norris Trophy finalist, I think we can all count on Weber – and his stats – to rise to the occasion.
The Final Verdict
This is a very tough call. The two examples provided by each side were useful, but they essentially cancel each other out. And although Weber's poor performance when Suter missed nine games in 2010-11 is quite remarkable, you cannot put too much weight in data that covers such a short stretch of time. While there's no question that - on paper - Nashville has no one who seems prepared to step into Ryan Suter's role, the steadying presence of Pekka Rinne cannot be discounted. In the end, it stands to reason that Weber's points and peripherals (like hits and blocked shots) might actually be just as likely to go up as they are to go down, as Weber leans more on his own his talents to replace the void left by Suter's departure. But it's hard not to see Weber taking at least some kind of a hit in +/-, so if your league has +/- as a category then you should take that into account. So the final verdict is that Weber's overall stats likely will not be negatively affected much, if at all, although watch out for a drop in +/-.

Sovereign said:
I don't disagree, that any of NSH remaining D are not comparable to Suter as a complete package. But in individual roles, they may suffice.
But I share the reservations you do. Which is why I was hesitant to make offers. I think that the void will be filled either as the season progresses, or via trade and NSH 15M in cap space.

Sovereign said:
With out doing historical examples on other teams I just relied on my experience. I gamed out a number of scenarios and guesses.
Most importantly, not replacing Suter but his Role. As stated Suter's steadier defensive pressence allowed more room for Weber to be offensive.
Suter did it all himself because he was that high of a calibre.
This year they dont have that. BUT, they do have a rangy big D man in Gill to handle lots of even strngth minutes and provide the defense needed.
On the PP Josi, Ellis or Blum can provide some respectable support there. So while they do not have a comparable replacement player. They do possess comparable Role-Players.
That is also without the assumption that anyone of those guys takes the next step either.
Ultimately, I did not make any offers, because there was nothing in my case that I could put together for the respective Weber owners that would not be so transparently one-sided enough to make me eat the 14M he will be getting next year. And similarly high salary beyond.

Ryan Ma said:
My initial thoughts were exactly what Pengwin stated, that Rinne might have been over-emphasized in your argument. Besides +/-, Rinne probably won't affect Weber's fantasy value all that much...
I guess this is the season where we'll answer the chicken or the egg question. Was it Suter that made Weber so good, or was it all Weber?
With that said, the replacements I don't think will be all that different Suter (stats-wise at least). I wrote about it back in January and there was another one that compared the stats of Josi and Suter (which I can't find at the moment...)
One thing that might affect Weber is because he has spent so much time along with Suter that they've developed some great chemistry together, so they know where each other were on the ice and know when to pinch and when to cover... With someone new, (Josi, Ellis, Ekholm) coming in they might need half a season to really understand each other, which might hamper Weber's production.
Another thing with Weber and Suter, those were two quality defenders which made it harder for opposition teams to defend. Now with only Weber, if I were an opposition coach, I'd just key in on Weber and take my chances on Josi, Ellis or Ekholm beating me. If they're not up to the task, I win... if they beat me then adjust next game.
For me the scenario that I would take is to take the cautious approach of the worst case scenario, which is to assume a regression, because of all of the changes. If that doesn't occur well no harm no foul... I'd kick myself if I went into the season expecting him to continue status quo then have him bite me in the butt with a run-of-the-mill season.
League settings will play a role as well. If you're using peripheral stats with hits, BS, PIM and SOG, Weber is still one of the most productive "across-the-board" producers even if he isn't going to produce top-10 numbers for points, the peripheral stats will still be worth it.
If you're looking at a straight points league, then I might drop Weber a few notches down as the "unknown" factor isn't worth the risk.
Pengwin7 said:
And I think losing one's defensive partner is a substantial impact.
Not just Ryan Suter's quality, but years of chemistry.
Have ANY two defensemen played as many minutes together as Weber/Suter in the last two years?
As for the Weber contract situation... I think you are spinning it wrong. You say that now that he has his big pay, he'll step up to play up to it. I disagree. If anything it will be too much pressure. Also, let's remember that Weber CHOSE to sign with Philadelphia. The passionate fans in Nashville won't forget this... and if Weber stumbles or grumbles, the boos may come.
On top of everything, Nashville simply won't be as good a team as the past. Last year was probably their best chance to go deep in the playoffs. How long can this team play above their talent-level? Eventually, these things come crashing down to reality. We've got to note that it's not just an impact on Weber... but the whole team realizes that Weber tried to sign with Philadelphia. The whole team is aware that Suter left for Minnesota. Can this team keep up the "We can do it" attitude that they've had?
I think everybody is impressed with how well Nashville has maintained such a competitive team. I think it crashes a bit this year. Weber... Rinne... stats are comin' down.

Comments about Tri-Flow Superior 2 OZ. Lube:
Tri-Flow is my old standby. I am never without a bottle. It's thinner than WD-40 and much more bicycle friendly.
I've used it to saturate and free seized bottom brackets, relube cable housing, derailleur pivots, jockey wheels, chains...the list goes on. You name it, this stuff will lubricate it.
While not the perfect chain lube -- it's a little too wet and doesn't last very long. It will work in a pinch.
Be sure to wipe off any excess from components as it does attract some dirt, dust and debris.
No bike shop, home or professional, should be without a bottle of Tri-Flow.

Comments about Tri-Flow Superior 2 OZ. Lube:
TriFlow is an excellent lube to use in certain applications, like the lubrication of a cable in its housing (when the teflon starts to wear out) or on pivots. If you are a mountain biker, I highly recommend that you DO NOT use this product on your chain, as it is very sticky and will cause tremendous buildup in your pivots. Stick with a product meant specifically for chains, like Dumonde or White Lightning.Also, after using this product, ensure that you wipe up all excess or you risk dirt collection when it dries.

FIBA Europe UNIVERSITAS
A very promising first meeting to introduce UNIVERSITAS to officials in Portugal took place in the Iberian country's capital Lisbon last weekend.
FIBA Europe Head of Operations Miguel Betancor held talks with Mario Saldaña, President of the Portuguese Basketball Federation, FIBA Europe Board member Manuel Fernandes and Augusto Baganha, President of the Portuguese state Sport Institute.
The main topic of the discussions was project UNIVERSITAS.
Mr Betancor explained the aims of FIBA Europe's flagship educational project, and the four men discussed the possibilities for expanding and promoting basketball as a competition whilst encouraging education.
FIBA Europe 3on3 was also high on the meeting's agenda.
Mr. Baganha expressed the Portuguese government's deep interest in participating in the project and confirmed that the state will arrange all necessary more meetings in order to specify the activities and actions that need to follow.
Speaking on behalf of the Portuguese Federation, Mr. Saldaña commented that he considers UNIVERSITAS a very promising project and he foresees great development in European basketball.
Mr Saldaña also stated that he considered this meeting key in discovering more about and understanding better the vision that FIBA Europe has for the sport and expressed the Federation's intention to participate actively in the FIBA Europe 3on3.
Mr Fernandez, as a member of both the Board of FIBA Europe and the Portuguese Federation, stated that he believes that FIBA Europe has a great opportunity to extend and enhance knowledge of basketball in Europe.
He added that with educational projects like UNIVERSITAS, in which he is very keen to support in any possible way, European basketball will become a reference in educational activities and social integration.
Mr Betancor stated that he was very satisfied with the outcome of this meeting, as the input of everyone involved was very important.
The FIBA Europe Head of Operations thanked the Portuguese Basketball Federation for organizing the meeting and for its close involvement in FIBA Europe activities. He also thanked personally Mr. Baganha for the interest that the Portuguese government expressed in supporting the FIBA Europe projects.
"Basketball is more than a ball and we cannot forget about its educational part, the professors, students and others in the academic environment that love basketball and want to become part of FIBA Europe," Mr Betancor added.
"FIBA Europe Universitas is a big project which integrates education, research and promotion and will open new doors for the development of European basketball, a project in which many European universities are already very interested to participate," Mr Betancor concluded.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Very customizable, elegant and classy. The card stock was high quality and fashionable. The price was also excellent, since it included the envelopes."
"This card was simply beautiful. The designer worked with me to create the perfect RSVP. We went with ____ of _____ Attending, so we could fill in how many guests were included on the invite. We took away the menu options since we are doing a buffet. We added and spot that said ______ will require shuttle transportation, so we can know how many buses to rent. The response cards came on the exact day they said it would and everything was individually wrapped. Great quality and unique design!"
"The cards turned out beautiful! Very happy with how the final product turned out. My one caution is this: If you pay extra to have the return address printed on the return envelopes, it is NOT waterproof ink. We had one response envelope so far that had clearly gotten wet and the address that was pre-printed on it was barely legible. Just something to keep in mind..."
"Fit perfectly in with our invitation without costing extra for postage. We changed ours from the way the template is and wedding paper divas met our requests perfectly. :)"
"This item complimented the invitation perfectly! We loved how it reversed the colors so that the gray was prominent this time instead of the purple. Our order was done very quickly, and when we had to reorder new RSVPs with a later date for our "Plan B" people, we received them very quickly as well. Both orders arrived before the date promised on the order. The only unexpected "bump" was that people did not understand what was meant by _____ of _____ will attend. We could write a book with the unique and comical answers we got to that! Thank you, Wedding Paper Divas, for a job well done!"

AUSTIN -- A KVUE Defenders investigation has uncovered dozens of board and care facilities in Austin with safety violations. Nearly all remain open with little oversight into how they care for the vulnerable adults who live there.
Our investigative team started looking into the facilities after a suspected arsonist set Hannah's Place on fire in September. Terrie Smith owns the board and care home. She said her facility had no working fire alarms or smoke detectors.
"With me being a small business and the finances I operate on, we weren't able to get that in our budget to get that done," said Smith.
Thirty people, most of them suffering from a disability, got out alive.
"It could have been a tragedy," contends Battalion Chief Palmer Buck.
According to city records reviewed by the Defenders, Austin's code compliance and fire department cited Hannah's place and at least two dozen other board and care facilities. Combined there were 223 safety violations since 2007. Some violations included notices for overcrowding and rooms infested with roaches and bed bugs.
The fire department cited South Austin Market Place off Ben White Boulevard with the most violations. In all the department cited it with 77 fire code violations. At one time inspectors found "all smoke detectors did not work." Rosemary Follis owns the building which boards nearly 100 tenants. Despite the violations Follis says her place is safe.
"I think it's very safe. It's an all-concrete building," she said.
Follis says she corrected every violation. She also pointed out that security cameras monitor hallways and entrances. Most living at her facility are ex-offenders with disabilities.
"You're taking on a lot of people with special needs," contends Follis.
Mark English is one of those tenants. He suffers from a brain injury.
"It helps me out because I have no other place to live," English said.
While the fire department can issue some violations, it has little authority over most board and care facilities. It typically can shut a place down if it identifies an imminent structural threat.
Probate Judge Guy Herman appoints guardians to help people find rooms in board and care facilities.
"It's shocking to me that Austin does not regulate those," Herman argued.
In 2012 he wrote a letter to Austin City Council and Travis County commissioners pleading with them to regulate the facilities.
"They need to keep our elders and our mentally ill and mentally disabled folks safe," said Herman.
Some board and care owners like Neal Klein think some regulations are good, but he worries that costly licensing fees could force facilities to close. He says "and the end result largely would be a lot of people displaced."
"There is money to be made in this business, and they're not doing it -- not to make money. So I think that if they're regulated they will stay in business. The good ones will. And the ones that go out of business, maybe they deserve to be out of business," Herman said.
The city's Health Commission reviewed plans to regulate board and care facilities last year, but it dropped the plans in January.

I'm not a Tebow nut, and I'm not a Jets fan, just an observer.
It seems to me Sanchez never has been much more accurate than Tebow, which is why I always wondered why Tebow didn't play more. At least he showed some ability to win games.
Maybe I'm wrong here but I have the feeling Ryan was jealous of Tebow's media attention. This clown of a coach just NEEDS to shoot his mouth off to see his name in the press.

I request that you all take a short break right now to watch (or re-watch) the fan-made short Gotham High, which places a bunch of Batman characters—including Hathaway's Catwoman—in high school. It uses the #1 Taming of the Shrew adaptation of my heart, 1999′s 10 Things I Hate About You, for much of its footage.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MI AMIGOS – I love this place more than any other restaurant! Great food! Great service! And the lunch specials are at a affordable price! Everyone that comes with me to Mi Amigo's falls in love with it like I have! You'd be missing out if you did not eat here!
So Good! – I love this place! I work close, so I visit quite often. The Chicken Burrito is amazing, the salsa is awesome and they have the best enchilada sauce in town! The service is always great... fast and friendly!
Awesome every time! – I absolutely love Mi Amigo's. Their chips and salsa are the best! Everything always tastes so fresh. I recommend the mini chimi platter or regular chicken chimi plate which they make with some sort of gravy in it. It is bomb! I used to go here once a week or more when I worked downtown. Now that I work in Tempe, I still try to make the effort to go every once in a while because the food is worth the 20 minute drive. Highly recommended. I hope they build one in Tempe soon.
good downtown dinning – If you must go downtown, this restaurant is contiguous to everything. We went to a wedding and ate afterwards.Parking was a challenge but adequate. The food was great. I love the enchlladas and salsa(lots of celientro). They were curtious and efficient. All in all, I would go back. Thats the real test.
love downtown – didn't know what to expect, but a friend said try it-we took the kids and were treated kindly. It seemed like a family environment, and the beer was cold! For a mamily of 4 to go out have dinner and get out for around $50.00 is OK by me. Food was very good.
handy for events – Was going to a concert and had dinner before it started. There was Amigos, one of my favorites. 8 of us went in were promptly greated and seated! Soon came the chips and salsa, then the server. He was friemdly and we were out the door in 45 minutes. Everyone agreed the food was very good. thx Mi Amigos
the best service around – it is the best place. my personal favorite. i reccommend it to everyone. and the chips and salsa are too good for words!
chips and salsa! – They bring all the chips and salsa you like before you get your food, which has always been great. Always get the enchiladas, and they are very fairly priced also!
Great Mexican food – I am one who has been on a lot of nacho hunts, and I have never had better nachos than the Nachos Mi Amigos here in the valley. It's one of their appetizers, but its what I always get!
Downtown secret revealed – Went to Civic Center and decided Mexican food was in order today, Greeted at door with a smile, got seated immediately, and received fresh chips and salsa.We ordered a Margarita and Fajitas-what a great feast!!!
