2012: DDC 30th Anniversaryby Dave McCorquodale
For the 30th anniversary of the running of the Delaware Distance Classic, the race committee thought big.
It added a 5K, which hadn't been run in conjunction with the 15K in several decades. It had an improved 15K
course, which went to the Peterson Natural Area, re-certified for another ten years and had the 5K course
certified as well. It went after more sponsorships and got them.

Could not cleaning myself a certain way after sex be causing my frequent urinary tract infections? What is the proper way to clean myself after sex (we use condoms and KY)?
I am a teenager and think I may have UI and that could be from a UTI but what should I do to treat it/make it go away as it is affecting daily routine? I have not visited any doctor as I am embarrassed to tell my parents about this possible problem. Do I need to see a doctor, if so how should I tell about this condition to my parents as I can't go on my own? What is the typical process during a doctor's visit for UI or UTI? Will it include a full body exam, because I feel nervous and sensitive to that, especially with someone else in the room with me (e.g. parents). What should I do about this? Can this be cured without need of going to a doctor?

Take your dishes from dry to delightful. A little extra flavor brightens up everything from veggies, to meat, to chips.
The right sauce, marinade or dressing jazzes up everything from meats to veggies to chips.
This superb salmon recipe is simply sensational.
This savory appetizer comes to us from Deborah C. of Federal Way, Washington. Made with both fresh and smoked salmon, it's a natural match for the Pacific Northwest.
A touch of liquid smoke (sold in large grocery stores) makes this specialty ketchup a perfect grilling sauce for steaks, burgers, and pork chops. It's also a flavorful topping for hot dogs and fries.
This tangy tropical blend tastes great on turkey sandwiches or with grilled chicken or shrimp.
This hot and spicy mix is sure to zip up burgers, meat loaf, and roast beef sandwiches. Add a little horseradish to the mix, and it makes a great seafood cocktail sauce or dip for fried foods too.
Crown your fish filet with a wholesome homemade topping!
I'll be the first to admit that canned cranberry sauce is pretty good. But honestly, this one is better. It has more personality and a fresh flavor -- with a whisper of apple -- that you just don't get with canned. Besides, it takes just a few minutes to
This variation on old-fashioned pan gravy is sure to become a family tradition.
Tangy and gingery, this recipe wins raves from kids and grown-ups alike.
Sage and lemon add a distinctive twist to this healthy party food.
This pork tenderloin recipe gets its zip from an easy-to-make dry rub that's applied to the meat before grilling. The modified barbecue sauce is just the right consistency for dipping. (For a milder version, omit the hot sauce.)

koontz1973 wrote:cairns, I am having a lot of trouble reading any of the text that is not part of the playing area. So you know, the white text under the title is he easiest for me to read but some of the bonus text is almost unreadable. You have the fleur de lis in colour so maybe the text can go into white. An idea, use it or not, this is up to you, enlarge the fleur de lis and put the number on it. That might give you room to bold the text like under the title.
Funkyterrance wrote:The map is much easier to read now for sure ; I can more clearly see the bonus borders. I agree with koontz that the portraits would look cooler drawn but of course this is easy for us to say.
I did prefer the swordsmen before though, the old image is gone so I can't say why. I think that they all look like girls now.
generalhead wrote:I am confused about the word impracticable. That means impossible and not impassable.
The building above the wording cour du louvre blends in to the ground, a different color might look good.
Some of the chimneys on the buildings might need a touch more detail than black squares.
This version is easier to understand.
A good bit of the men in this time period either did have long hair or they wore wigs.
It might be neat too for the men with black underwear to be wearing a green cape like the one man in this picture. I will leave that up to
your artistic discretion though.
sorry this pic isn't very big but maybe you can still spot him.
Funkyterrance wrote:I am color blind as well so I hope that this is taken into consideration whilst fine tuning this map as I am already a fan of it. While I love the Waterloo map I have had some real troubles with it in the past due to zones being too close in color for me to distinguish. Give the guys yellow and pink tights if you have to.
Ok, on topic with gameplay...
Funkyterrance wrote:...
My biggest concerns with maps are drop issues. That being said I may need clarification on the attack routes. For instance, in the case of H01, CO2, CA, and HB, are all four of these terts considered adjacent?OK, i will fix that issue over borders.Also, from what I can tell you can only assault the buildings from the front? If this is the case I feel that the Cour du Lourve zone may be a game ender once secured. An even drop would of course delay this progression but an uneven one seems like it could make for a short and potentially unbalanced game. This may or may not apply to Place du Carousel as well but these things are of course hard to tell until the map is actually played. Perhaps a route between those two zones, either by the little alleyway or from Carousel to the building?
I assume you mean Place de Carrousel 4...
i really don't want open up that route between PdC4 and Cour du Louvre...while i understand you have concerns about it, you haven't explained it well enough to convince me that this would in the best interest of the even balanced game.This might be tricky but how about showing a dueller straddling the divides?

A nice idea but I really can't tell which regions can attack each other at the moment.

The gentleman at c36 might need turned the other way, it looks like he is dancing with his partner.
At first I had a hard time telling who could attack who on the old maps, but with the new legend it is pretty easy to understand.
This should be in the main foundry correct?
Yeskoontz1973 wrote:cairns, clarify this for me please.
Apart from the neutral starts, you have 116 (first post) starting positions. Is this correct?
You have on the map that the duellers are +1 auto deploy. Will players also get deployable troops? If so, how many. Small games you would get rather a lot. How do you counter first go advantage? If no deployable troops, this needs to be stated somewhere on the map and in the game play notes.
Were the Garde Du Corps around in 1574? Yes since 1419...so i will see about that later in graphics...please remind me if i forget. However, i'll also take account that they were red and blue and we've already had troubles with red for CB issues.With the black pants, whilst they are easier to see now why not have a different shirt colour and trousers. The Garde du Corps (royal bodyguard) where red with a blue coat. Bloody hell, did they not have colour blind people back then. But this might be a better way to show getting into the building.
You say, duellers immediately forward of a passageway have access to an opponent. I take it you mean the breaks in the impassables? This might be tricky but how about showing a dueller straddling the divides?
Text is a lot better, thanks apart from bottom left.
your guess is as good as minegeneralhead wrote:...This should be in the main foundry correct?

Awesome for skin!

Posted by Reviewer3013180 From Florida on Feb 16, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
I started taking 1 tablet a day about a month ago and my skin looks amazing! I kid you not, the fine lines seem to be completely gone, I have not had a single pimple and my skin actually glows and has a lovely tone to it. I don't even use a daily powder anymore because my natural skin is so beautiful! I am also using the Derma-e DMAE products which I like, but I can tell that taking this suppliment has made a difference. Also my morning brain fog seems to be MIA these days- and I still make my coffee the same so it's an added bonus!

My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD many years ago and I was against medicating her. My husband who is very well educated on natural supplements gave my daughter DMAE along with Pantothenic Acid (Vit B5) and as far as I am concerned it works better than any ADD - ADHD drug on the market. You need the Vit B5 for the DMAE to convert in the brain. She is 16 now and takes 3 X DMAE 250mg caps and 3 X Pantothenic Acid 500mg caps. Everyone can tell when she hasn't taken her vits !!

For a several years I had felt too lethargic to work out or run like I had in the past. After taking DMAE for about a month I'm back where I was about 7 years ago.

I feel smarter when taking this. I bought it right before exams and I've been able to concentrate on my studying with ease. I also find it gives me more energy and puts me in a confident, positive mood. I basically feel closer to being perfect. As an added bonus, I think it may reduce hangovers.
Wow, fab. product

I love this product. I was not sure about using DMAE, I thought maybe it is all hype and aload of rubbish, but NO!! I only took four tablets and boy did I feel a difference!! I do suffer from brain fog, I have been taking ginkgo to help this problem which worked reasonably o.k, but ginkgo in combination with DMAE is amazing. I have no brain fog, I think clearly and I have noticed that I am learning faster. I recently went on a Croatian language course and it is blimin mind melting, but I noticed that I studied better and remembered more when I took this product. I also have noticed I am less fed up and down, I feel happier and more positive. I love this product and I hope that it continues working in this way.

Kentucky Highway crews have been pre-treating main roadways, but it's often the county roads that give drivers the most problems.
Trucks are fueled up and geared up to hit the county roads Friday morning.
The Webster County Highway Department says its four plow trucks will be out icing heavily traveled intersections and curvy, dangerous roads in the morning.
The state began pre-treating roads on Thursday, but county roads do no get pre-treated. Officials say the roads are too dangerous to start plowing and treating at night.
"As a county we are putting the snow plows on, our salters on so we'll be prepared for in the morning," said Linda Wilson, Webster Co. Road Supervisor. "We don't do any treating at night, it's too hazardous, but we will have our trucks ready to roll in the morning in case there should be any accumulation," she said.
We'll be continuing to watch road conditions throughout the Tri-State as this next winter storm system moves into our area.
For the most updated road conditions for your Friday morning commute be sure to watch 14 News Sunrise.

The vehicle that ran the stop sign then cut quickly across traffic in order to get into the drive-thru lane at a fast-food restaurant. I suppose he had legitimate reasons to believe that they were running out of food.....

Rising Interest Rates Worry Banking Industry
By Jim Zarroli
Originally published on Wed July 17, 2013 3:08 am
Five years after the start of the financial crisis, the U.S. banking industry continues to earn strong profits. On Tuesday, Goldman Sachs became the latest big bank to report better than expected earnings. But rising interest rates mean a riskier environment for banks.

The deleterious effects of poor indoor-air quality (IAQ) on health, comfort, and performance are fairly well-known. Perhaps in no other buildings are they more difficult to combat than schools, for several reasons:
Schools require high-density occupancy. Students in elementary and secondary schools typically occupy 500-sq-ft rooms at densities of 20 to 25 sq ft per student. Complicating matters is that school schedules allow little or no opportunity for students to relieve their surroundings if they sense they are having an allergic reaction. Additionally, teachers and other members of school staffs may not understand the nature of students' complaints that they are tired or "don't feel good." The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that asthma, often triggered by indoor exposure to mold, causes 10 million missed school days a year.1
Schools are easy targets when it comes to cutting taxpayer expenditures. During the energy crunch of the 1970s, some of the greatest travesties in HVAC history were committed in schools. "Strategies" for conserving energy included the elimination of outside air, the removal of filters, and the shutting down of HVAC systems during occupancy. Today, systems are shut down for long unoccupied periods (e.g., winter and summer vacations), including when outdoor humidity is high. In the long run, such decisions result in toxic reactions among students. According to the EPA, in 1999, IAQ was reported unsatisfactory in about one in five public schools in the United States, while ventilation was reported unsatisfactory in about one in four.1
Schools tend to have a high ratio of foundation footprint to floor area. Built with access and security foremost in mind, most schools are one- or two-story structures. As a result, a significant amount of interior space is exposed to surfaces at ground (cool) temperatures. Moisture is drawn to these spaces and difficult to evaporate into the building air.
Children tend to be more susceptible to allergens. Unlike adults, children tend not to know what makes them sick or how to avoid it. Additionally, fewer drugs are available to help reduce their sensitivities. That exposure to an allergen may not affect an adult staff member the way it does a student can make a student's claims of feeling sick all that more difficult to understand.
This article will discuss methods of controlling moisture — both that introduced by outside sources, such as ventilation air, and that introduced by inside ones, such as the human body, clothing, and cleaning — in schools through central HVAC systems.
Traditionally, the control of humidity admitted with ventilation air has been addressed during design, with systems that cool ventilation air for summer air conditioning, causing moisture to condense on cooling coils. As the theory goes, the cool air will be heated by building occupants, interior lighting, and solar loads, resulting in 40- to 60-percent relative humidity in interior spaces. While this process can be traced on a psychrometric chart and, given the right coil leaving-air temperature, shown to be feasible, based on mold lawsuits alone, engineers in humid climates know it is only marginally effective (at best).
For outside ventilation air to be used effectively in the control of building humidity, it must be subcooled and reheated or chemically dehumidified with desiccants. No other method takes enough moisture from air streams to make up for internal gains from people, cleaning, etc. This is the case especially in schools and other spaces with high occupant loading.
When outside conditions are warm and air is dehumidified as part of mechanical cooling, reheating and the resultant decrease in relative humidity are assumed to occur uniformly throughout an occupied space. Nothing, however, could be further from the truth. The air that is introduced into a space mixes (somewhat) with overhumidified air and condenses on cool surfaces (such as floor slabs and lower wall corners with low local air circulation). The air then is drawn up into the return-air plenum, where it absorbs the heat of the fluorescent-light ballasts and returns to the air-handling unit to be recombined with humid outside air.
Note that saturated supply air does not have to condense water into puddles to cause mold growth. It can be absorbed into carpet and condense between the carpet and foundation slab, creating, in combination with nutrients tracked in from the outside, an ideal environment for fungal growth. When the carpet is cleaned, what are the chances of it being "dried" by saturated air coming, more or less, directly off the cooling coil? The moisture is much more likely to travel downward and condense on the cool slab than evaporate into humid air above.
The same process takes place between gypsum wallboard and its paper covering. In cool lower corners, wallboard is cooled by the slab, and moisture is absorbed through the paper covering, condensing in microscopic droplets. Fungal spores find nutrients in the adhesive that bonds the paper, and mold proliferates in the absence of light. Does "vapor-barrier" paint stop this moisture migration? No, it only slows it. Unfortunately for occupants, mold has all of the time in the world.
The behavior of moist, condensing air moving across a cooling coil is complex. The air exits the coil as a combination of air streams of differing temperatures containing entrained, microscopic water droplets. Its relative humidity is 90 to 100 percent, meaning it will condense on surfaces cooler than the discharge temperature. These include duct surfaces cooled by adjacent chilled- or domestic-water piping, the foundation slab, or an air leak to the outside. As for the entrained, microscopic water droplets, they will coalesce on steel or aluminum ductwork at the first sharp turn leaving the coil. A portion of the condensate will flow into the drain pan and, if the drain was installed properly (few are), flow safely to waste.
Saturated supply air is dangerous in that if anything goes wrong, moisture has nowhere to condense but in ductwork. Wet duct liner never dries. Mold growing between it and cool metal duct can go undetected, spreading microorganisms throughout a building, for years.
The lesson to be learned is that effective dehumidification of outside air is active mechanical or desiccant dehumidification of outside air. If a desiccant wheel is used, outside air should be dried to the point that when it is mixed with return air and cooled to the discharge set point, there is no condensation on the cooling coil. Energy savings will accrue from the elimination of latent heat load on the coil and refrigeration equipment. Will these savings offset the energy used by the desiccant wheel? No; the basic laws of entropy still apply. The best one can do is to minimize the additional energy through careful design and make sure mold growth is prevented.
Alternately, dehumidification can be accomplished by subcooling supply air with a cooling coil and reheating it to the discharge set point. The reheat coil can be a steam/hydronic coil, a heat-recovery coil, or a "hot-gas" coil connected to the condenser side of the refrigerant circuit. Heat-recovery and hot-gas systems add complexity and maintenance, but decrease the energy required for dehumidification.
But what happens during unoccupied shutdowns? As part of a commissioning project, my office recently reviewed plans for a high school utilizing water-source heat pumps. The design team specified a heat pump employing a hot-gas reheat coil that allows supply air to be subcooled and reheated to well below saturation. Both the subcooling and reheating were to take place in the same self-contained cabinet, and the use of hot-gas reheat was to minimize energy consumption. Unfortunately, the sequence of operation was written to shut down the entire system during off hours, allowing moisture to migrate to cool spaces, condense, and foster mold growth. The solution was to use both humidistats and thermostats to control the heat pumps. During occupied hours, the thermostats have primary control, while the humidistats activate dehumidification via the hot-gas reheat coils when needed. During unoccupied hours, the heat pumps are controlled primarily by the humidistats, cooling is locked off, and heating is in a setback mode. In this manner, dehumidification is continuous on an as-needed basis. Does this require more energy than simply shutting down the entire system when the school is unoccupied? Yes. Would the school rather go to court to fight a mold lawsuit? Probably not.
Returning to the issue of water-source-heat-pump control, some promising advances have been made in dehumidification via refrigerant reheat. Notably, combinations of liquid and gas reheat that greatly enhance control and effectiveness are now available. In the past, the application of heat-pump systems suffered because the control and temperature differential required for positive dehumidification was lacking. The short-cycling of oversized heat pumps causes condensed moisture to be re-entrained into air streams during extended off cycles and reduces dehumidification effectiveness. Improved hot-gas/liquid reheat allows heat pumps to operate in a steady-state manner and continuously wring moisture from air, eliminating re-entrainment during off cycles. This promises to make energy-smart heat-pump systems good IAQ performers.
In humid climates, one of the fastest ways to turn a building into a mold incubator is to shut off the outside-air ventilation system and leave restroom and other exhaust fans on during unoccupied hours. The resulting negative pressure will pull humid air into the building walls and interstitial spaces. Moisture in the air will condense on cool interior surfaces either after the cooling cycle that same day or immediately after the cooling system is started the next day.
The best approach to building-shutdown periods is to install positive dehumidification for outside air and leave that system on at low capacity during unoccupied hours, with heating/cooling locked off unless required by outdoor conditions. This fits with variable-air-volume systems and can be tailored to the needs of a building over time.
As the public becomes more aware of IAQ issues, the positive, functional control of building humidity needs to be a specific, commissioned goal of projects. It needs to be stated clearly in the design-intent section of control specifications, followed through on in the basis-of-design portion, and field-tested. Assuming it will happen on its own is a mistake.

Head lice are a very common problem, affecting millions of people each year — especially preschool and elementary school-aged children and their close contacts. Head lice are tiny, wingless, parasitic insects that live and feed on blood from your scalp.
Getting head lice isn't a sign of bad personal hygiene or an unclean living environment. This itchy infestation, also called pediculosis capitis, most commonly spreads through close personal contact and by sharing personal belongings.
Both over-the-counter and prescription medications are available to treat head lice. Following the directions properly and taking necessary steps at home are important to prevent head lice from recurring.
Common signs and symptoms of head lice may include:
Usually you can get rid of lice by using nonprescription shampoo that's specifically formulated to kill lice. However, if nonprescription shampoo doesn't kill the lice, your doctor can prescribe a stronger, prescription shampoo.
Head lice can't fly or jump, and they're not transmitted by pets. They spread by head-to-head contact or via contact with contaminated personal belongings or home furnishings.
This is the most common mode of transmission and may occur as children or family members play or interact closely together.
Less commonly, head lice may be transmitted via such items as:
Head lice may sometimes be contracted by contact with contaminated:
The greatest risk factor for getting head lice is coming into contact with someone who already has lice. Cleanliness and personal hygiene have little bearing on whether you get lice.
Young children, preschool through elementary age, are most prone to infestation, which often transfers to a child's family members. Females of all ages get head lice more often than males do.
Lice may cause you to scratch your head so vigorously that you break the skin. See your doctor if these scratches become infected.
In most cases, you don't need to see a doctor for head lice. But you may want to consult your family physician if:
You may want to write a list that includes:
For head lice, questions you may want to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment if you don't understand something.
Your doctor will check your head for lice and your hair for nits. He or she may use a special light, called a Wood's light, which makes the nits look pale blue.
Your doctor also may ask you a number of questions, such as:
If you or your child has head lice, avoid sharing personal items, bedding, towels or clothing. Use an over-the-counter treatment for head lice or try a wet-combing technique for your hair or your child's hair to physically remove lice and nits. Rid personal items, such as clothing or bedding, by washing them in very hot water or sealing them in plastic bags for several days.
Lice cement their eggs firmly onto the base of hair shafts, very close to the scalp. According to experts with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nits found more than a quarter of an inch (6.5 millimeters) away from the scalp have either already hatched or aren't going to hatch. So simply finding nits isn't proof of an active infestation. The clearest sign is finding a living, moving louse. Combing wet hair with a fine-toothed comb is the best way to find this evidence.
Lice can live for about two days without a meal, and nits will die within a week if they're not kept at the same temperature as that found near the human scalp. That's why it's so uncommon for people to be infected with lice by any method other than head-to-head contact. All close contacts need to be examined. Despite this low risk, you may want to:
It's difficult to prevent the spread of head lice among children in child care and in school. There's so much close contact among children and their belongings that lice can spread easily. It's no reflection on your hygiene habits or those of your children, and it's not a failure on your part as a parent if your child gets head lice.
You can ask your child not to share hats, scarves, coats, combs, brushes, hair decorations and other personal belongings at school. But it's not realistic to expect that you and your child can eliminate all the types of contact that may result in the spread of lice.
The best approach to head lice prevention is simply to take thorough steps to get rid of the lice — and their eggs — so that you don't have more lice to deal with.

- Bob Vila TV Shows >
- Storm-Ready Design > Episode 10: Pool Deck, Toto Washlet, and Wind-Proof Garage Door
Spraying On and Painting a Heat-Reflective Pool Deck
Bob is on the newly poured pool deck as Don Humphrey and his crew apply the Texture-Krete finish to the top edge and traffic area of the pool. The concrete is treated with a bonding agent before the cement-and-polymer spray coating is sprayed on in textured drops. A crew member knocks down the drops with a trowel as soon as the wet gloss starts to fade. This 1/16-inch textured finish is painted with an acrylic masonry paint, applied in two coats and sealed. This deck is cool and slip-resistant and is pitched toward a drain that takes dirty poolside water away from the pool. In the house, Leonora Campos from Toto is in the guest lavatory where the sleek, two-piece Washlet 6300 with remote control wash, dry, and deodorize settings eliminates the need for toilet paper and repeat flushing. These ultra low-flow washlets flush clean the first time, save energy, water, and trees, and are more popular in Japan than microwave ovens. In the garage, Ernie Hutto from DAB Garage Doors is on hand for perhaps the most important feature in this storm-ready house – a hurricane-proof garage door with reinforced panels and tracks to prevent twisting, blow-in, and ultimate house failure.
- Part 1: Spraying On and Painting a Heat-Reflective Pool Deck
- Don Humphrey is spraying a cement and polymer mix from Innovative Concrete Technology called Texture-Krete 2000 onto the pool edge and deck in Punta Gorda, Florida. He moves in a circular motion to splat the cement mix onto the deck. As the gloss begins to leave the spots, a crewmember follows behind to knock it down with a trowel. This removes the pointy tops but leaves a 1/16-inch stucco pattern to the pool deck to make it easy to walk on. The deck is cleaned and scratched to remove any rough points before Humphrey and his crew apply an acrylic paint to the textured deck surface. The key to a well-sealed surface is to roll the paint firmly into all the nooks and dips in the surface. Bob talks about the embedded deck drain set in the concrete that is pitched slightly away from the pool. Excess water and dirty deck water drains away from the pool and is carried off to the sides of the pool deck by the deck drain. Humphrey applies two coats of paint and a topcoat for protection. The deck can be maintained with gentle soap-and-water washing to prevent any white spots from drying chlorine on the painted surface. Humphrey says the paint should last three to five years before it is redone. One key to maintaining the surface is to avoid abrasive cleaners or power washing. Should any mold or mildew attack the surface, Humphrey suggests using a mild bleach-and-water solution to kill the mold. The oyster color the homeowners have selected should wear well and stay cool in the hot Florida sun.

- Part 3: Hurricane-Resistant Garage Doors
When hurricanes strike again and again, as they did in Florida in 2004, the effects are devastating. Bob Vila and crew work to completely rebuild a damaged house, using new standards for storm-ready housing. Along the way, Bob investigates a home's vulnerabilities in extreme weather and learns why some building systems fail and others succeed.
Also from Storm-Ready Design
Episode 1 - Rebuilding to Beat a HurricaneDescription:
Bob is in hurricane battered Punta Gorda, Florida, to build a storm-ready home in Season 1 of Bob Vila. Bob visits two homes in the same neighborhood, one that was completely destroyed by Hurricane Charley in August 2004, the other that was built to exceed hurricane codes and was left unscathed by hurricane winds and water from the same storm. Scott Buescher of Mercedes Homes shows how enhanced building practices and technologies can create a storm-resistant home, while Lieutenant Governor Toni Jennings and Secretary of Community Affairs Thaddeus Cohen discuss rebuilding Florida. Building inspector Randy Cole and Mercedes Homes' Jesse Gonzalez review the site and watch the pour of a three-stage steam wall that sits below grade and ties the slab foundation to the ground. The resulting foundation will resist water penetration from storm surge by allowing water to move around the foundation without encountering entry points. Bob reviews the house plans with Scott Buescher of Mercedes Homes and learns how the house is constructed as an integrated system. Building connections are emphasized and reinforced rebar and steel mesh are extended from the stem wall to the roof line in preparation for the solid concrete pour that will form the exterior walls.
Episode 2 - Building a Reinforced Concrete HouseDescription:
Bob recaps construction of the stem-wall foundation and integral concrete slab, the vertical steel reinforcing, steel mesh, window bucks, headers, and spacers put in place for the cast-in-place concrete walls. Cameron Parker and the crew of Solid Wall Systems spray the aluminum wall forms with an organic oil spray to prevent adhesion from the concrete and set the forms for the pour. Bob joins Wayne Sallade, Charlotte County Emergency Manager, to review cleanup, demolition, and repair one year after Hurricane Charley. sallade explains that housing built in the 1960s through the 1980s, before the Florida Unified Building Code, had stick framing, gable roofs, and siding. "It didn't stand a chance," he says. Looking at surviving 1920s Florida architecture, it's clear that unified construction, concrete walls, protected windows, and hip roofsare the way to design wind-resistant homes. Back on site, bob watches the pour, learns how the walls and window openings will be vibrated to eliminate voids, and sees the bracing set to hold the walls square before leaving the site to let it cure overnight. Once the forms are removed, Jesse Gonzalez explains how a traditional three-coat Florida plaster job will complete the exterior once the structure has cured for two weeks.
Episode 3 - Building a Storm-Ready RoofDescription:
This episode of Bob Vila will focus on roofs, how they are built and tied down to keep structures safe. Leslie Chapman-Henderson from FLASH, the Federal Alliance for Safe Housing, explains how FLASH brings information about safe housing technologies and practices to homes across America, to protect them against floods, winds, hail, and wildfires. Chapman-Henderson explains how a connected house works as a system to beat back the pushing and pulling forces of wind. Randy Shackelford of Simpson Strong-Tie shows Bob the embedded truss anchors that will tie down each truss member of the roof framing, as well as retrofit tie-downs and heavy connectors designed to fight wind uplift forces. Jesse Gonzalez walks Bob through the steel-framed interior that has a master suite and bath, and lots of open space. Bart Cox of Hanson Roof Tiles brings factory-extruded cement clay-look tiles that are pre-drilled for mechanical installation. Dave Peck of D. Peck Roofing explains that stiffer 5/8-inch plywood sheathing, 30 pound felt that is nailed, hot mopped with asphalt, and covered with 90 pound felt makes a strong, water-resistant roof deck for the tiles. Metal nailer boards keep cap tiles in place when wind strikes.

Garmin Edge 510 Bike Computer $329.95
Cat 1 functionality at a Cat 4 price.
While we thought that the leap from the Garmin 800 to 810 was massive, it pales in comparison to the advancement from the Edge 500 to the Edge 510 Bike Computer. Garmin has done away with the 500's button mashing, instead opting for a sophisticated touch screen interface. And while Edge 510 isn't quite at the same level of functionality as the new 810, for the price, we can't imagine a more powerful training computer.
Starting at the screen, Garmin placed a focus on simplifying screen and metrics navigation. The initial start screen prompts you to select the CPU's functionality for your ride, either 'train' or 'race.' To avoid confusion, training mode is presented in Blue, whereas race mode is presented in Red. Additionally, this screen enables you to select the bike profile that you'll be riding -- mountain, road, cyclocross, or even unicycle if you're savvy. Once these selections have been made, you simply touch the ride button, and the screen moves to your race or training page. And of course, this page is customizable for every bike profile in your quiver. So, your ride page will only reflect the data that you deem pertinent to your ride or race. Even more impressive, and a jump away from the button navigation fumbling of the 500, the 510 allows you to simply swipe the touch-screen from page to page. Also, Garmin designed the screen to operate seamlessly with gloved hands in the cold, in the heat, or even in wet weather.
And as long as we're on the subject of new features, you'll should be ecstatic to hear that the 510 is Bluetooth ready. So, while sport device communication is still handled by ANT+ (say, wireless data transfer from HRMs or powermeters), the Bluetooth technology communicates with your smartphone. And to make matters even easier, the 510 is fluent in either Android or iOS operating systems. So, once you're synced up with your phone, and you've downloaded the Garmin Connect Mobile App, the 510 really comes alive. Essentially, the 510 receives data from your smartphone, like live weather and activity upload. This means that you're able to receive real-time weather conditions, forecasts, and alerts while your phone stays protected. And for activity upload, this hastens the data transfer once you've finished your ride. From any location, this feature allows you to wirelessly upload your ride data to your smartphone, which then uploads it to your Garmin Connect profile online. Accordingly, you can view your profile from the Mobile App, almost eliminating the need to access Garmin Connect from a home computer.
Impressed? Believe us, that's just the tip of the iceberg. With the 510's Live Tracking feature, you have the ability to share your activities in real-time through either email or the social media of your choosing. All that you have to do is invite your coach, friends, or family to follow you on Garmin Connect, and then you're able to send email notifications reminding them to follow your real-time activity, stats, data, and location while you're on the bike. You also have the option to share this information via Facebook or Twitter. But, your adoring public aren't the only ones that can navigate your movements. With either the Mobile App or Garmin connect, you have the ability to peruse rides in your area. However, unlike the 810, the 510 doesn't have full map functionality, however, it does GPS for post-ride analysis.
Now for the guts. The 510 sees the return of Garmin's ever-popular, Virtual Partner and Virtual Racer training programs. The 510 does not accept data cards, but it's capable of storing up to 180 hours on its onboard history. It's rechargeable lithium-ion battery has a life that extends to around 17 hours. Garmin also ensured that the CPU is completely waterproof, and it's also compatible with virtually any ANT+ equipped device. So, mating the 510 to an HRM or powermeter will be a painless affair.
The Garmin Edge 510 Bike Computer is available in the color Black and includes a bike mount, USB cable, AC charger, and a user-manual.

Nice upgrade from the Edge 500

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As a long time user of the Edge 500, I made the upgrade to the 510 primarily for the live tracking feature, but I've found even more to like on the 510. Since I often like to explore new trails or change up a planned route on the fly, the live tracking brings a little piece of mind to the ride since I'm able to share my whereabouts with those that might need to come find me should something go horribly awry. Even when rides go smoothly, friends or family can check in to see where you're at and wish that they were out there too.
Equally impressive on the 510 is the ability to create unique bike profiles for each bike you ride. Gone are the days of having to have re-sync for various power, speed, and/or cadence sensors every time you go from one bike to the next. Instead you just choose what bike you're on and everything you have saved with that profile will be ready to go.
I was a little leery of the touchscreen, but it actually works quite well and is easy to use while riding. It helps to have the Garmin mounted to the bike as stable as possible so that it doesn't move when you're attempting to change screens or go through a menu. This is where an OF mount or something similar works better than the stem mount with the o-rings.
The only criticism I've got is that the device is larger than the 500. This doesn't bother me for training, but on race day I'd prefer the unit to be smaller. The 510's GPS syncs up noticeably faster and tracks more accurately when you're in tighter canyons too so the positives certainly outweigh it's larger size.

This is my first bike GPS and I have zero complaints. Battery is amazing, pairs quickly with my iPhone, has a great display. It has immensely ramped up my training by giving me all the data I could ever want.
Easy to use, everything it says it is!

Easy to pick up and use. Touch screen works well even with winter gloves on. Good battery life and memory plenty of rides before you have to charge or sync. Really like the weather features of this 510.
great addition
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
this is a great tool to have for your bike. It gives much valuable information about your ride and you can get as general or specific as you want. The Garmin website is also a great addition to this piece as you can upload your information and compare previous rides, see maps of your workouts, ect. The heart rate function is also very valuable and easy to connect. The lage display is also very nice. I would suggest getting the out front bike mount when you get this unit.

This is a great product to have, especially if you geek out on numbers from your ride. There isn't much else that will give you as much information on your ride than a Garmin. That being said, they take it one step further and give you the ability to customize exactly what information you see on the screen. Essentially customization is completely built into the unit so you can have many different settings or profiles to coincide with what readouts you want or what bike you are using. Pairing with a powermeter is simple and a great way to measure your results. I use mine specifically for mountain biking so I keep the unit in my pocket or hydration pack during the ride so I can't attest to the readout visibility. I do wish there was a lock feature for the unit as if you hit the start/stop button during your ride, you only get part of your ride recorded. However the battery life has been impressive and can go quite a few rides without needing a charge.

works great, but hard to read the display in direct sunlight

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Have had a Garmin for cycling since it's cycling specific inception with the 305. It has come along way. I replaced my Edge 500 with this one. You can still format the screens to your personal preference, any so much more. I like that it connects to your smartphone, and after a ride just push SAVE and after a minute, your ride gets uploaded to the Garmin website. Unlike other Garmin cycling devices, the touchscreen ones (like this) do not offer a setting for changing the contrast. So your only choice is to up the backlight setting, which burns the battery a bit. So, riding in sunny so CA with shades on, makes the screen harder to read than the traditional Edge models - hope Garmin fixes this with a software update; if this had a contrast adjustment, would have been a 5 star rating.
Great device

I picked this above the Garmin 500 because it interfaces with an app available on iPhone and Android that allows you to upload your ride in seconds via bluetooth connection and view it on the friendly screen of a smart phone. The device is conveniently small and while it gathers all the information you could ever desire (mileage, weather, altitude, total elevation gain/loss, heart rate, etc) you can limit the display during your ride to see as little as one thing so as not to be overwhelmed with information. Easy to attach/remove via rubber bands to frame of the bike, and super easy to start using right out of the box. For more information, check out the product review by the DC Rainmaker. This guy gives the most in-depth, helpful reviews out there. If you aren't sure which Garmin device is right for you, this is the blog that will make up your mind. http://www.dcrainmaker.com.

Season at Tennessee: 23rd Year
NCAA Champions: 6 (4 men, 2 women)
SEC Champions: 34 (20 men, 14 women)
SEC Coach of the Year: 11 times
2013 National Women's Diving Coach of the Year
Tennessee diving coach Dave Parrington, a successful athlete on both the collegiate and international levels, has translated that athletic excellence into a high degree of proficiency in the coaching ranks. Parrington has received countless honors on every level the diving community and recently completed his 23rd season coaching UT divers.
His wealth of experience and teaching ability was displayed in the successes of his athletes with divers excelling at the conference and national levels year in, year out.
The Harare, Zimbabwe, native owns an impressive resume. The SEC coaches have voted Parrington the Men's Diving Coach of the Year seven times (1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2012) and the Women's Coach of the Year four times (1997, 2003, 2012, 2013). Since arriving on The Hill, Parrington has produced six NCAA champions and 34 SEC champions. He has coached eight USA Diving national champions. Parrington and the UT divers have pieced together an impressive stretch over the last two seasons.
The 2011-12 season was among Tennessee's best overall seasons in the diving well as the men swept all three diving events at the SEC Championships for the first time in program history. Ryan Helms won the 1-meter and 3-meter titles and freshman Mauricio Robles took the platform. Tori Lamp led the women all year and won her first SEC title in her signature event, the platform. Helms and Lamp were both voted the SEC Diver of the Year for the men and women.
Lamp, Helms and former SEC champion Michael Wright competed in the 2012 USA Olympic Diving Trials. Lamp also qualified for the FINA Grand Prix diving series for Team USA during the summer months.
In 2012-13, Parrington was named the CSCAA National Women's Diving Coach of the Year and SEC Women's Diving Coach of the Year after leading the Lady Vols to championship-level heights at the SEC and NCAA championships. Lamp was named the National Diver of the Year after making the finals of all three diving events, placing second on the platform for the second time, and senior Jodie McGroarty made the finals in both springboard competitions to help Tennessee finish third in the team standings for the first time in program history.
Parrington coached Zimbabwe's Olympic team in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics as well as the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Other Olympic service includes two stints (1998, 2008) as a judge at the U.S. Olympic diving trials and a selector for the USA Olympic team selection camp hosted at the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center. He also served the United States' diving team as a coach for the 1997 World Cup qualifying and championships rounds and was rewarded with the USA Diving Coaches Award of Excellence.
As a student-athlete, Parrington competed in the 1980 Moscow Olympicsrepresenting Zimbabwe in both he three-meter and platform events. Parrington also played for Zimbabwe's national diving and water polo teams.
In August 2008, former UT head football coach Phillip Fulmer endowed $250,000 for the Dave Parrington Tennessee Diving Scholarship. The gift was a token of gratitude for Parrington's many years coaching Fulmer's daughter and former Lady Vol diver Brittany.
In the summer of 2009, Parrington married UT swimming and diving massage therapist Marie Wilson. She has been a part of the program for nine years and is a Knoxville, Tenn., native. She has three children Jeff, Brent and Derek and five grandchildren Emily, Zachary, Camille, Blake and Maggie.

Few games have surprised me like Knytt Underground. It starts out innocent enough, featuring good-looking backgrounds and the kind of 2D platforming we've seen hundreds of times before. But then it takes an unexpected left turn that leads us straight into one of the gutsiest games of the year. And just when you think you've gotten a handle on what makes this underground world tick, the game throws in another wrinkle. With an enormous world to explore and a deeply-personal narrative that will keep you guessing, this is one of 2012's best games.
Knytt Underground's story is split up into three chapters, though even that is something of a ruse. The first two chapters work as tutorial stages, giving the player a chance to get used to completing missions and surviving a plethora of platforming puzzles. In the first chapter we take control of Mi, a silent protagonist with a penchant for climbing. In chapter two we take the form of a bouncing ball, a form that allows players to make huge leaps and speed through the cavernous environments. These chapters end just as they're getting started, both in the same violent way.
It all leads to chapter three, where the game merges the ball and the silent hero into one of the most agile platforming heroes to ever grace the screen. Mi now has the ability to switch between her human shape and the bouncing ball, giving the player a character that can quickly make her way through even the trickiest underground labyrinth. And it's a good thing she's that nimble, because it's going to come in handy when completing the game's 34 quests.
Knytt Underground doesn't stray too far from Metroid and Castlevania. Mi spends much of her time exploring the gigantic world and filling in the pop-up map. The game comes packed with close to 1,500 rooms to explore, dozens of items to locate and a lot of hidden secrets (and even extra games) to dig up. Needless to say, Mi's quest is going to take more than a few hours.
The good news is that Mi isn't alone in her journey. Along for the ride are Dora the sun fairy and Cilia the moon fairy, who act as the ambassadors to our mute protagonist. As the descriptions imply, these two are polar opposites. One is optimistic and always ready to give people the benefit of the doubt; the other is cynical and foul-mouthed. It's up to the player to decide who speaks for Mi, leading to some incredibly awkward situations.
As Mi travels around the underground world talking to its citizens, she discovers, much to her horror, the world is doomed. Thankfully there's something she can do about it. This involves traversing the huge world to ring six bells. But not everybody agrees that this will save humanity. Before long we're caught up in a battle over faith and destiny. Knytt Underground goes from being just another "Metroidvania" platformer to an incredibly deep, often dark story about religious doctrine and its believers.
I wasn't ready for the game's sharp left turn. For hours the game lulled me into thinking that it was a squeaky clean platformer, the type of thing Nintendo might have published in another era. And then all of a sudden, completely out of the blue, Knytt Underground turns into something that would make South Park blush. Not only is the dialog littered with four letter words, but the themes go into decidedly controversial topics involving sex and violence. Things go from bad to worse as you travel around this enormous world completing quests and ringing bells.
Part of what makes this adventure so surprising is the amount of detail that has gone into the world. With 1,500 areas to fill, the developer has crafted a fully-realized world with numerous cities, vacation spots, universities, residential neighborhoods and even an amphitheater. What's even more impressive is that these citizens have a history and their own mythology. Digging deeper uncovers a storied past that explains where these characters came from and how we had a hand in their creation.
On a more personal level, the game spends a lot of time working through the pain and suffering that still consumes the two fairies. Both have their childhood horror stories, though the way they choose to address it is completely different. At times it feels like this was a chance for the game's designer, Nicklas Nygren, to address some of his own skeletons in the closet. Knytt Underground has a lot to say about religion, families and judgment.
The narrative gets a little heavy-handed at times. It wouldn't surprise me if some players were completely turned off by the game's never-ending barrage of profanity and dark themes. If that describes you, then you're in luck; the game's huge world and platforming puzzles are fun even if you decide to skip the story. Best of all, there is a lot of variety to the types of challenges you face along the way, making this a solid platforming action game independent of the storyline.
What sets Knytt Underground apart from the competition is the complete lack of proper enemy characters or bosses. This is not a game about picking up weapons or upgrading your combat. At no point will you jump on an enemy's head or throw a turtle shell. This is a game about solving complicated platforming challenges. It's more akin to Super Meat Boy or N+. From time to time you'll have to put up with laser-wielding robots, but they are part of the puzzles and not free-roaming bad guys.
Unfortunately not every obstacle can be overcome with your superior climbing skills and morphing ball. Sometimes Mi will need to use one of the power-ups that grow in the wild. The color-coded assortment of power-ups include one that allows Mi to fly horizontally, another that shoots her straight up in the air and one that allows for a double jump. These items are the key to locating hard to reach areas on the map. But there's a downside; these power-ups will only be active for a short amount of time.
What amazed me was the excessive amount of content in Knytt Underground. I was still uncovering new secrets after 20 hours of play, which is more than you can ask from most downloadable PSN releases. Beyond the dozens of quests to complete and 1,500 rooms to explore, players will be treated to two separate endings and a bonus VR-style mini game that is completely optional. And that's not all. Digging around in the credit screen will win you a chance to play Juri's Story, another extra game taken directly from a previous Knytt outing.
Although Mi and her fairy companions are tiny, the world around them comes to life with gorgeous backgrounds and inspired level designs. Some of the visuals look photo-realistic, offering players something interesting to look at as they are making their way across the huge world. Despite being so small, I never lost track of Mi. A lot of the credit goes to Dora and Cilia, who spend their time circling our hero. I primarily played through the adventure on my PS Vita, and even then I never had a problem keeping track of Mi's whereabouts.
Knytt Underground continues the cross-buy trend. Picking up this game on PSN will give you access to both the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita versions. The game supports cloud saving, which makes switching between consoles a breeze. I found Mi's adventure to be a little easier to play on Sony's handheld, but that may just be personal preference.
Mi's controls are sharp and responsive. Some may argue that they are too responsive. This silent protagonist harkens back to the days of Amiga platformers, like Zool and The Great Giana Sisters. This may take a little getting used to. Mi is speedy, which can lead to overshooting jumps and other platforming hazards. It didn't take long for me to adjust for her speed.
I am genuinely shocked and delighted by how much I enjoyed Knytt Underground. I had no problem buying into the fully-realized world and the interesting level designs. That civilization's history and religion fascinated me, to the point where I had to track down every last shred of information. I even got a kick out of the fairies' foul-mouthed conversations. It all clicked for me. Regardless of whether you like daring stories or amazing platforming puzzles, Knytt Underground is not to be missed.

Knytt Underground
* The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company for review.
Knytt Underground is sure to be one of the most controversial games of the year. It's daring in all the right ways, poking at hot topics and digging into the origins of religion. Even if you ignore the deeply personal narrative, you'll find that Knytt Underground offers one of the most elaborate game worlds ever created. It's a marvel that will keep you going for dozens of hours!

The concept of the varsity letter was first introduced in 1865, when the Harvard baseball team added an old English 'H' embroidered on their gray flannel shirt. Approximately ten years later, their football team followed and used the 'H' in 1875. For 25 years following the introduction of the varsity letter, it was the practice for the team captain to allow certain players who played in the most important games (Yale or Princeton) to keep the 'H' jerseys as an award. This may be the first record of the birth of the varsity letter as an award. The letterman sweater was first regularly used by the 1891 "Nine"Harvard baseball team. Their sweater was black with a crimson 'H' on the left chest. Letterman sweaters were the predecessor to letterman jackets. The letter was usually quite large and centered if the sweater was a pullover. If it was a cardigan style sweater, the letter was normally placed on the left side. The stripes on one sleeve designated the number of letters won; a star indicated the team captain. It is not known when the letterman sweater was introduced to high schools. The earliest photo that can be found is from a 1911 Phoenix Union High School yearbook. A student is pictured in a group photo wearing a v-neck sweater with the letter 'P' on the left chest.
The letter patch primarily consists of chenille and felt materials. The ground– or base- is felt, and the raised embroidery threads that create a chenille look are called a moss stitch. The outlining sew down stitch around the border of the chenille is a chain stitch. In the 1930s, the chenille letter award starting appearing on wool –bodied varsity jackets with leather sleeves. In addition to the large letter appliqué, players' names and year of graduation would be added to the jacket. In addition, medals and team championship patches that the player would acquire through his school years would adorn the jackets.
