It was a dream come true for a valley 13-year-old. He's sick and in the hospital and hasn't been able to do one of his favorite activities during spring -- head to the ballpark.
It's not often you're this happy to be riding in an ambulance, but this was no ordinary ride.
"Just feels good to be out of the hospital."
Lorenzo Heredia was headed to Mesa's Hohokam Stadium for a Chicago Cubs game.
He hasn't been able to go to the ballpark because he's usually at Banner Cardon Children's Hospital. He was diagnosed with a type of Leukemia three months ago and it keeps him from being outdoors.
But on Thursday, highly trained EMTs with Southwest Ambulance were there to care for him on this unique trip.
"We love being able to make someone's day a little bit brighter and better and bringing a child out of the hospital for a day at the ballpark with his friends and family, what could be better than that," said Katy Reeve.
It was a special and memorable morning -- meeting players and getting an autographed game ball.
It was a long time coming for Lorenzo to finally get out and get some fresh air and not constantly in his room with the four walls. He was smiling and friends he hasn't seen since he's been out of school were there.
"It's so awesome..it's nice seeing him smile," said Lorenzo's father, Mike Heredia. "Haven't seen him smile in so long."
By the end of the game, Lorenzo had about 10 autographs on his game ball.
Banner Cardon Children's Hospital and Southwest Ambulance provided the trip to the Cubs game.

Pesto-crusted salmon Replace the peppercorns, paprika, lime zest and oil with 2 tbsp pesto. Spread over the salmon and sprinkle with 2 tbsp dried breadcrumbs. Bake as in the main recipe and serve with the chickpeas.
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Put the salmon fillets in a shallow ovenproof dish in a single layer. Roughly crush the peppercorns with a pestle and mortar, or tip into a cup and crush with the end of a rolling pin. Mix with the paprika, lime zest and a little sea salt. Brush the salmon lightly with oil, then sprinkle over the pepper mix. Bake for 12-15 mins until the salmon is just cooked.
- Meanwhile, tip the chickpeas into a colander, rinse well under cold running water, then drain. Heat the oil in a pan, add the garlic, then gently cook for 5 mins without browning. Add the chickpeas and stock, then warm through. Crush the chickpeas lightly with a potato masher, then add the spinach and stir well until the leaves are wilted. Add the lime juice and some salt and pepper, then heat through. Serve with the salmon.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, December 2008
Comments, questions and tips
I'm afraid I only did the salmon part so I cannot comment on the chickpeas, but the salmon was absolutely delicious done this way! A superb dish - you can get the best of the subtle flavours of the salmon without any overpowering zesty flavour which accompany many salmon recipes.
Benners - If its not crispy enough, stick it under the grill for a few mins - that did the trick for me.
Also - I've done this on a gas BBQ - wrapped it in tin foil then opened the foil out for about 3 mins before removing.
One thing I changed - I used 1/2 tsp of paprika instead of 1tsp as I thought it was a bit burny - personal choice.
I don't think much of the salmon marinade, I substitute it for either for ras el hanout moroccan or dukkah crusted salmon. Or use any of ur fav salmon marinade.
The chickpea mash is awesome! The family loved it especially the kids. I sometimes vary the beans. I use cannellini or butter beans or use all of them together and also instead of spinach, use rocket and again or together. U can use creme fraiche as well in the bean mash.

Combining Paxil and Pravachol Can Raise Blood SugarPosted: Sunday, June 05, 2011
Combining two drugs commonly prescribed to treat depression and lower cholesterol can raise blood sugar to potentially harmful levels, according to a study released this week that was based partly on a search of computerized patient records at Boston-area hospitals.
The side effect -- which the authors said could push glucose-intolerant people into a diabetic state or make existing cases of diabetes harder to manage -- was unexpected, and its discovery illustrates the power of electronic health records to help bring to light previously unknown problems with medical treatments.
The authors estimate that as many as 715,000 people may be taking the two drugs, paroxetine and pravastatin, marketed as Paxil and Pravachol. But perhaps more notable are the methods used.
Researchers at Stanford University identified the drug combination as a possible concern by combing a massive Food and Drug Administration database of side effects for signs of diabetes-related drug interactions. They quickly and cheaply tested their theory using hundreds of thousands of electronic health records for patients at Stanford University Hospital, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and the hospitals of Boston-based Partners HealthCare.
The new study offers a peak into the "totally unprecedented'' research potential of such large, sophisticated patient databases, said Dr. David Blumenthal, former national coordinator for health information technology .
The electronic records make it possible to study a whole population of patients in real time, "in the wild, so to speak, as we are cared for, because that's the most realistic study sample,'' said Dr. Isaac Kohane, an author of the study and co-director of the Harvard Medical School Center for Biomedical Informatics. "You can come in with a question and literally, in weeks rather than years, answer important epidemiological questions.''
Nicholas Tatonetti, a doctoral student at Stanford, developed algorithms to search the FDA database, looking not for specific reports of an increase in blood sugar but for the associated symptoms, including fever and fatigue. He came up with a list of possible problematic combinations. When his adviser, Dr. Russ B. Altman, looked at the list, pravastatin and paroxetine jumped out at him. He knew they were each used by millions of US patients.
But the FDA database is so big and so messy that it often produces false results, Altman said. If validating their concerns required scouring paper records -- like those still used by many doctors -- or enrolling patients in a costly clinical trial, his lab never would have pursued it, he said.
Instead, the researchers searched the Stanford hospital electronic records for a specific kind of patient, one who had started one of the drugs and had a glucose test, then started the second drug and had another glucose test. They found nine non-diabetic patients who fit the bill.
They reached out to colleagues at the other two institutions who found another 127 non-diabetic patients, the bulk of whom came from Partners hospitals. Overall, the patients taking both drugs experienced an average increase in glucose of 19 milligrams per deciliter after starting on the second drug, and the increase was much greater among 239 diabetic patients taking both medications.
"Given the power of computing, you can do this study in minutes if you've got a big structure like this,'' Blumenthal said. "You could do 100 studies in an hour instead of doing one study in a year…. And, by the way, you can do this not just with drug events. You can do it with the relationship between treatments and symptoms. You can track the spread of an influenza event.''

Mitt Romney for president
Four years and two days ago, we warned that then-Sen. Barack Obama was an unsuitable choice for president because of his extremely liberal policy preferences, scanty government and executive experience, and accomplishment-devoid resume. Unfortunately, that warning proved spot-on; President Obama has compiled a disastrous record.
Mr. Obama has fostered an anti-business climate. His trademark laws, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, are monstrous and provide for so many to-be-written rules, businesses are afraid to hire or expand, and banks are reluctant to lend. The Obama administration has presided over a regulatory barrage and has paid back its friends in organized labor by stacking the National Labor Relations Board, traditionally an impartial arbiter of disputes between business and labor, with union allies, often in secret.

Wyoming State Director Travels to Argentina
Nature.org talked with Andrea about her international journey, why Argentina gives her déjà vu, and what she ordered for lunch during a meeting with ranchers at Argentina's historic Cattlemen's Club.
Andrea Erickson Quiroz, the Conservancy's Wyoming State Director, traveled to Argentina on a conservation work exchange. This summer, her cross-boundary colleagues will come to Wyoming to learn more about private-lands conservation tools.
Why Argentina?
Andrea Erickson Quiroz:
My work exchange was a chance to provide lessons learned here in Wyoming to the Conservancy's new program in Argentina.
Specifically, I was there to help the Conservancy start the country's very first land trust with ranchers and other conservationists, and address impacts from energy development.
Sounds exciting.
Andrea Erickson Quiroz:
It really was. The concept of private lands conservation is creating a whole new movement down there.
It's like going back 40 years in the U.S. when the core message of conservation centered around private citizens who wanted to protect their own backyards.
It has nothing to do with tax incentives and everything to do with conserving the places they love.
It's about a movement, not a transaction.
Can you tell us more about these landowners?
Andrea Erickson Quiroz:
The landowners I met with aren't waiting around for anyone—they're taking matters into their own hands.
It's a 100 percent privately-led effort. Our team in Argentina is just helping them with the nuts and bolts of what it takes to conserve the places they love, like what a conservation easement legal document should look like.
That's what's great about working for the Conservancy; we have global reach but work at a local level.
Is Argentina up against some of the same conservation challenges that we face here in Wyoming?
Andrea Erickson Quiroz:
Just like Wyoming, Argentina is cattle country and has this fabulous tradition of ranching. The region's ranchers are struggling to hang onto the lands they love in the face of both residential and energy development. So it's the same sense of loss that ranchers in the U.S. feel when their livelihoods are in jeopardy.
I had a chance to sit down with a well-respected rancher at Argentina's historic Cattlemen's Club (I ordered beef, of course!).
Over coffee, he gathered his associates together so they could all hear me explain how the Conservancy is working on energy issues in a split-estate context here in Wyoming—just as they face there. In addition to oil and gas, Argentina is right on the cusp of seeing a big push for renewable energy.
Who else did you talk to about energy development issues?
Andrea Erickson Quiroz:
I also presented to legislators from Argentina's Neuquen Province, including the head of the environment committee, on science-based planning we've done here in Wyoming to map out important places to conserve in the face of energy development.
It really put my Spanish to the test to translate words like "drill rig!"
Anyway, they loved the approach and we discussed what can be done to plan for conservation now before a flood of development takes place in Argentina.
In what other ways are the two countries similar?
Andrea Erickson Quiroz:
Being in Argentina was like traveling back in time to Wyoming when private lands conservation was just getting started. These private citizens are spurring an effort like the one so many pioneering individuals got going in Wyoming in the 1970s, when the Conservancy completed the first conservation easement in the state.
I also cannot believe how much the landscape is like Wyoming. We'd drive down a road, turn the corner, and I'd get this incredible sense of déjà vu and feel like I was looking at the hoodoos up the North Fork outside of Cody, or looking down a fence line on the southeastern Wyoming plains.
What happens now?
Andrea Erickson Quiroz:
Well, now we are in the process of inviting our colleagues in Argentina to visit Wyoming this summer. We plan to bring together conservation practitioners and legislators to share ideas on what's working here in Wyoming, and discuss how to have a science-based approach to planning for their future from an economic, social and environmental perspective.
I really encourage anyone interested in this cross-boundary effort to let us know. The time is now for Argentina, and it's an exciting opportunity to connect the dots between these two very similar places.
Here's the beef! During her travels, Andrea Erickson Quiroz tasted local beef while meeting with ranchers starting the country's first land trust. Like Wyoming, Argentina is cattle country.

Hello all,
I decided to try a couple of fixes to get Ethernet working on my MSI Wind and now have an unbootable version of OSX. it gets half way through the boot process and then tells me to "hold down the power button" to restart.
The fix i tried (that caused the problem) was to update existing drivers with Kext files from paulswinddriverutilitypack.zip.
fixes tried;
*i have booted up using iDeneb 1.4 and performed permission & disk repairs (neither work)
*i have checked for the option to "save previous system files to a folder" and install a new copy of leopard (does not exist on ideneb?)
I do not have current backups of my files on this machine and therefore am considering live booting into ubuntu 9 and copying files to my external HDD - and then going about a clean install of iDeneb.
what do you reckon to this trick?
is there not a quicker way to undo silly mistakes?
The tools i have available are - kalyway, ideneb, OSX for MSI Wind, ubuntu, an external HDD. The machine i have is a regular MSI Wind U100
a premature thanks to all who read this.

Alexander McQueen - Resort 2009
View Gallery
(MILAN) Always one to pace himself, Alexander McQueen used his spring men's wear show slot to present his women's resort collection in Milan. McQueen described the 14 women's looks as sexy and form-fitting, but not vulgar. "There's an emphasis on the exposed leg," he said of the collection, which is responsible for most of his commercial prowess. The shapes were undeniably sexy and almost second-skin, some with color-blocking a la Hervé Léger. But McQueen injected his primarily muted collection with some intermittent splashes of bright neon. Hummingbirds and koi accented several spectacular chiffon dresses. Equally striking? An eye-popping cocktail number that was eerily reminiscent of reptile skin.

As far as I know, having a meter with a check valve and a PRV with a check valve won't cause any problems.
Slowly bringing the home we bought up to code. I'm replacing the wh and installing a thermal expansion tank as per code. I've monitored the water pressure and seen, on average, 60psi. Unfortunately the tattle sometimes is seen at 160 psi. I have no prv and, as far as I can tell, am in an open system. When the water authority comes out to swap the meter I've been told the new one will include a check valve.
That said, and I'm absolutely terrified of a blown thermal tank (thanks for the horror flood stories) what can I do to minimize the risk. I truly doubt my water pressure is hitting 160psi as the tank isn't weeping. I do not have a continuous logger running.
The tank is 10 lf or 20 piped feet from the sump.
I have to install bvent as well, thus cutting down further any space around the heater.
As far as I know, having a meter with a check valve and a PRV with a check valve won't cause any problems.
When the expansion tank 'dies', it usually doesn't leak. The flexible bladder inside fails and the tank itself fills up with water. When that happens, in a closed system, the expansion will usually cause the T&P valve on the WH to release some. Depending on how much hot water you used, it may only take a few ounces to reduce the pressure below the trip point of the T&P. Normally, those are set to 150#. If yours didn't release then, it might be defective. You should open it manually to see if it 'sticks' and be prepared to replace it if it does. It is possible you have some other valve(s) in the house that leak when the pressure rises - some toilet fill valves will do this, and the water they release just goes down the drain. Stressing the hoses and fittings in the house is not good - there's a reason code limits the internal pressure in a house. You want a safety margin. On the WH, if you install it with a pan, you can run the drain anywhere you want to help contain the water. you could look at www.wagsvalve.com and install one of these - if the tank leaks, it will shut the water supply to it off. It must be installed with a pan or a dam to retain enough water to trigger the thing.

The aura of hockey surrounded them: They sat on the same benches where pro players sit; they pulled on their jerseys in front of the same lockers in which pro players hang their sweat-stained uniforms; they heard inspirational words from their coaches in the very same locker room where some of the sport's best players do the same.
But Telluride's boys didn't let the overwhelming atmosphere of playing their State Championship final match in the same rink as the Colorado Avalanche stop them from focusing on their goal to win the 2012 Squirts C State Championship Final.
As the boys huddled in the Pepsi Center locker room listening to head coach Bill Hoins explain that if they could win this next game, they could start a new tradition in Telluride hockey, their ears were open. And what's more, the Telluride Squirts hockey team followed through.
Telluride blazed to a 4-2 victory over Arapahoe, winning the town's first boys State Championship trophy, while garnering a new legacy for Telluride Lizard Head hockey in the process.
Telluride had just posted an upset victory in the prior day's semi-final, beating favored Littleton on that team's home turf, 3-0, with one goal scored by Dylan Webster and two by John Hoins, for three points in the semifinal game vs. Littleton.
Telluride walked onto the Littleton rink considered the underdogs, despite the fact that the team had the same record as its adversaries: 18-1-1. The rankings seeded them fourth going into the State Tournament, however, where they'd have to meet, and beat, number-one ranked Littleton in the semi-finals before they could get their shot at a State Championship title.
Beneath a heavily decorated ceiling dripping with Littleton's previous years' Championship banners, Telluride fans cheered their team on to victory.
"Littleton was very surprised," said assistant coach Gary Richard. "We came in with a huge crowd and beat them, and they couldn't believe it. I don't think they've ever seen that kind of pressure," he noted, pointing to the fundamentals Telluride has utilized throughout the season that got them into the Championships in the first place.
"The other team was bigger, taller, and faster, but they weren't as organized," Richard explained, describing Telluride's game plan as one that doesn't depend on just one or two players running the puck up and down the rink, but rather puts the task of winning upon the shoulders of every player on the ice. "It's how we beat everybody this year. Our players are absolutely required to use each other to move the puck around."
In the finals the following day, Telluride was first to score against Arapaho, with Matheau Richard setting up John Hoins for the first point of the game. Hoins had another goal up his sleeve, this time dished up off a pass from Nicholas Denesik less than one minute after his first.
Yet Arapaho had an answer to Telluride's early scoring blitz, with the team finding the back of Telluride goalkeeper Caleb Hobbs' net late in the first period to put the score at 2-1 going in to the second period.
Richard and Hoins were quick to get to work in the second, however, quickly moving the puck to Dylan Webster's waiting stick. Webster promptly put the puck in the net, giving Telluride back its two-point cushion just 18 seconds into the second period.
Arapaho kept up, scoring its second goal a few minutes later. But they couldn't hold on for long, with Telluride's Hoins earning his hat trick midway through the second period thanks to a pass from Webster.
Telluride kept their rivals at bay throughout the third period, ultimately celebrating their big win beneath the Pepsi Center's big lights; a fitting culmination to a brilliant weekend, and a near-perfect season.
Richard said the team truly deserves the banner that will now hang alongside Telluride's two other State Championship banners, won by Telluride's U-19 Girls' team in 2008 and 2009. Coaches Richard, Hoins, and Damien Webster were astonished by their players' courtesy and civility on the ice, especially when facing not-so-respectful performances from some of their competition this season.
"They were outstanding," Richard said. "Here is a group of kids that are on their way to becoming great hockey players."

Mardi Gras, that maddest of all mad days when every man may be a king, or, if he prefers, a tramp or a clown or an Indian chief, and dance in the streets.
—New Orleans City Guide (WPA, 1938)
If you didn't come to party, take your bitch ass home," shouts the man selling t-shirts on Bourbon Street. He adds, "I have size sexy for the ladies."
The main street for Carnival Season partying in New Orleans has a distinct aroma—a mix of sweat, crawfish, Daiquiri puke and just-starting-to-rot garbage. All around the senses are assaulted with beads thrown from above, shoes getting stuck to the sticky wash that covers the street, drummers drumming, people shouting and bursts of purple, gold and green. Mardi Gras has been taking place in New Orleans since before 1835. It is a time for the loud, the grotesque, the strange and excess. While this might sound awful, it is intoxicating. The season has lasted all these years because it is what you make it.
Everyone has a different experience because no one is in charge and the celebration spreads throughout the city. If you came to party, you will find one on Bourbon. I saw lots of tits, a couple asses, hundreds of hollow plastic legs dangling around people's necks filled with red liquor, people tumbling after one too many and too many crazy outfits to count.
The balcony people taunt the crowds below. Some put fancy trinkets on fishing wire to yank the items out of greedy, eager hands. They lay in wait to judge who is deserving of the beads. Sometimes it requires a dance or a flash and sometimes they take pity on a cute nine-year-old who is getting quite an eyeful.
Just one street over, there is the opportunity for family friendly fare. Royal Street, which turns into St. Charles when heading Uptown, is filled with jugglers and street musicians, and is also the main parade route for the bigger parades. Smartly, the first couple rows of people have chairs and right behind, people set up ladders with elaborate boxes for children to sit in for a better view. There is definitely alcohol, but people try to keep it together a little more here.
Quintron and Miss Pussycat are playing at the Spellcaster Lodge with Jello Biafra in attendance and Big Freedia is bouncing at VASO. There are fancy balls with high society that are by invitation only and parades that are solely for the people who know where they start and stop.
It can also be a time for the political. Different Krewes head different parades, all with unique themes for the year. The Krewe d'Etat is known for its biting satire and this year was no different with floats criticizing the sex trade and prison system. The Zulu Parade, that goes through the neighborhood torn apart by the freeway, celebrated the life of Nelson Mandela this year.
For me, Mardi Gras was cruising the city by bicycle and taking in the sites and sounds. The majority of the time it was a delight. Walking and making photographs, I was moved to tears during the Talladega College Marching Band's version of Get Lucky and was surprised to find how amazing it is to make eye contact with someone on a giant float and catching the beads thrown right at me. And I already miss the smell.
Mark Twain said: "I think that I may say that an American has not seen the United States until he has seen Mardi-Gras in New Orleans."

To say there has been a lot of innovation in the area of control is quite the understatement. Now, just about everything comes with its own remote—and they are all pretty special, in their own way.
I remember when we got our first VCR; the remote was tethered to the device. Besides actually cutting the cord, the remote control now comes in many forms. A lot of people are even putting that power into smartphones and tablets, for easy access to AV and some of the other devices in the home.
When it comes to the actual look of the remote, you probably think it hasn't changed a whole lot. Well, you really need to get out more. For some of you, sometimes the typical stick-style of controller just won't do. You can point, shoot, and get the job done. However, if you're looking for a conversation starter—and possibly even a spell starter (pictured above)—take a peek at our slideshow of the 10 Most Unusual Remote Controls.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

These were somewhat common on pipe nipples for tub spouts, and could be anywhere in the house including the main supply piping. Hot will possibly cause it to rust quicker than on the cold. If you had significant rust from inside of the WH, it would probably be leaking by now.

Choosing a Good Contractor
If your project goes much beyond replacing lights and a few appliances, you would probably benefit from using a home performance contractor. The book No-Regrets Remodeling provides a good definition if this emerging specialty:
Because the whole-house, or systems, approach to homes is a fairly new concept, not everyone in the building trades is familiar with it. And it goes against traditional building practice, which is based on specialty trades. You probably already know how that goes: a different contractor for every task. And none of them has any idea what the other is doing. This is changing with the emergence of the home performance contractor, a person trained and equipped to test homes to see where problems exist. These contractors go by a variety of names, such as house doctor, or comfort solutions specialist. Often there is a reference to energy on their calling cards since many of them learned their trade as weatherization technicians or energy auditors and retrofitters. More and more traditional heating/air conditioning contractors, insulation contractors, and general contractors are being trained in the whole-house approach, so the only way to know if this is part of their practice is simply to ask.
Interview contractors who want to do your job. Make sure that the contractor knows what's important to you and what kinds of problems you might already be aware of: comfort, health, safety, energy costs, sustainability/green) and be sure that the contractor has an understanding and experience of how to address these issues. Here are some questions to ask and listen for before making your selection:
- Do they poo-poo energy efficiency and tell you it's not worth the effort?
- Is the contractor certified or accredited by an a professional organization that specializes in home performance?
- Describe some of the energy-saving strategies that they've used on recent jobs.
- Will they perform an professional energy audit (including computer calculations to identify savings opportunities) before proposing work, or refer you to someone who will?
- Will they provide cost-benefit estimates to you for the improvements they recommend?
- Describe the kinds of tests and measurements they do find out where the efficiency gains can be found and the kinds of tests and measurements they do after the work has been to determine that leaks have been successfully plugged and your home is safe. This process is sometimes referred to as "test-in, test-out."
- Can they diagnose comfort problems you may have, or tell-tale issues like moisture damage or bad indoor air quality?
- List out the types of financial incentives (rebates, tax credits, etc.) available in your area.
- Will they evaluate your current energy bills and benchmark you against other homes?
- Do they test combustion devices for safe operation?
- If they're replacing your furnace or air-conditioner, will they go by the existing size or will the re-evaluate the situation to ensure that they are not oversizing (and that you are not over-spending)?
- How long will their assessment of your home take and what will it cost? A number between two and four hours is typical for a comprehensive audit and assessment. Prices vary considerably depending on thoroughness of the investigation and complexity of the home: for normal-sized homes expect a range of $300-$700.
- The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy provides a list of factors to consider.
- The Air Conditioning Contractors of America offers recommendations for selecting a heating and cooling contractor and very detailed guidelines for quality installation of heating and cooling systems.
- The Building Performance Institute provides advice on what to look for and maintains a searchable list of accredited contractors.

Family event leads to family 'documentary' leads to MartyS – Being in a vast field of technology, my family and friends expect me to come through when an event emerges. I get the job or must screen and confirm whoever does... I take it seriously when nec... Family and friends take it more so...
So, when Marty Stonely took the documentary of a family event as his project. I became the face of the 'client-as-collective.'
Things went very smoothly throughout.
But outdoors and difficult weather and light made everyone nervous and concerned.
Marty was a gifted diplomat showing a warm human color at all times with various family 'personalities'.
...But most important it turns out, Marty rose as a champion against difficult outdoor odds.
He produced a work of artistic genius, easily comprehended by the ordinary folk of our family, yet, requested often by a variety of visiting dignitaries who can only visit 'annually.'
Marty captured so much of the spirit of our family gathering and so many of our 'puzzle pieces' that his product... the documentary... serves its purpose perfectly... Various family members often wish to see it 'again' in the presence of yet other family members.
I think this is for the sake of jogging a collective family memory...TO REMEMBER... we are family and on one very beautiful occasion we all knew it and really demonstrated it so well... Hey that was us...
But Marty Stonely had the patience, and the gifted perception and experience... to capture it. And once recorded distill the rawness of our potential to the refinement of our potent charm/s as an odyssey of visual wonder.
... ...Just remarkable. Amazing.
If I see Marty again... I will tip him again... at least a drink or a dinner.
If I see the documentary of 'us' again I will weep again... laugh again and make a couple phone calls again...
And I do know this family is full of genuine characters that want to see it again and again.
Thanks Marty Stonely
Professional, Quality, Great person for the job. – I have hired Marty numerous times and I would highly recommend him to others. He is proficient , professional, been in the business for years and therefore very experienced. He has a great eye and is a true artist. Also he plays a mean Saxophone. Marty Stonely top notch.

Hey everyone, Here is something cool that I have been working on that I think you may enjoy.
So, I had been pondering how to make an inexpensive variable prop. I was thinking about using a heli head from a hk450 or perhaps a tail rotor. I eventually saw a post here, on diydrones, where a guy was using a tail rotor from a HK500 (can't find post). I got inspired and found a HK600 tail rotor has the…

Nikko Stirling Nighteater 8 x 56
Hi all
I'm looking at putting the Nikko Stirling Nighteater 8x56 scope on my Voere .308. I've heard some mixed feedback about the rifle recoil being to hard on the scope but then others say it would be perfect.
Any advice?

It would be a good choice if you enjoy frustration, replacing it with something that works and screwing up a hunt if you were to take it hunting.
Put a Quality scope on it if it is an important rifle to you. A leupold is a good choice or if money is short get a Redfield 3X9X40 for it

The reason there are mixed reviews is probably because it's hit and miss with quality. I believe Howa puts these scopes on their package guns.
I would second Diverhunter just said. Save a little more money and get a better quality scope. If you go to Cheaperthandirt.com, or Sportsmansguide.com they have really good sales from time to time. You can get a Burris Fullfeild II for under $200. Just my thoughts, put a quality scope on your hunting rifle. Check out some Pawn shops, sometimes these guys will sell the scope off of a rifle."That which does not kill us makes us stronger" Friedrich Nietzsche // That which does not kill me, better run like hell" Scott Smith

My friend, let me be brutally honest with you, don't waste your money on a crappy scope. NS scopes are fine for air guns or .22's but not for a carry in the bush hunting rifle. They are not built to take any punishment at all. Any knock or bump, and your hunt is over..!

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
As one of CNET's top five wireless routers of 2011, the Netgear WNDR3800's performance and features come highly rated. Considered the successor to Netgear's WNDR3700 (our pick for best advanced Windows router), the WNDR3800 has almost identical hardware but more features and an updated administration interface. Its ease of use is highly regarded, as is its speed. It doesn't garner as many raves and awards as the WNDR3700, and some of its features may be overkill for the average user.
CD-less installation. Reviewers love how easy it is to set up and use the Netgear WNDR3800 due to its Genie interface, a downloadable, standalone application to manage, monitor and repair the network. Dong Ngo of CNET says the interface is similar to Cisco Connect, which comes with the Linksys E4200, but Netgear's interface has more detailed instructions and deeper access to the router's settings. Novice users can plug the router in and turn it on to install the basic prefigured settings, while experienced users can use the web interface to configure the router to their needs. SmallNetBuilder.com's Craig Ellison praises Netgear's decision to provide CD-less installation, because more netbooks, ultrabooks and tablets lack CD readers. He says changes to the network were applied quickly, within 30 seconds.
Speed receives praise. The WNDR3800's speed is praised by reviewers like Ngo, in whose tests the unit outperforms the Cisco Linksys E4200 (Est. $190) and the WNDR3700 (Est. $85) in both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands. The WNDR3800's range isn't as far as that of the Linksys E4200. At SmallNetBuilder.com, tests show that the WNDR3800's speed is comparable to that of the WNDR3700.
Access to cloud-based data storage. The Netgear WNDR3800 router has some attributes not found in other routers from any manufacturer. With simultaneous dual-band capabilities in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, it has the now-standard technology of four GbE ports and one WAN port, but just one USB 2.0 port for connecting printers or storage devices. Unlike other premium routers that have only one guest network, the WNDR3800 can run two, one on each band.
This unit's add-ons are what set it apart from other routers, even other Netgear models. Its novel ReadyShare Cloud feature, which supports cloud-based data storage, allows users to access data stored on a connected USB external hard drive via the Internet; users get a free subscription to Netgear's ReadyShare network. Another feature that earns rave reviews from PC Advisor, CNET and SmallNetBuilder.com is Live Parental Control. After installing Netgear's software, parents can set up a free online account with OpenDNS that allows them to customize controls from the website and set overall access from anywhere in the world.

Detectives immediately launched an investigation after the incident and with the assistance of the Gold Ranch Casino were able to identify a possible suspect. Police investigators developed a second suspect through intelligence files and known associations. One of the defendants, Edward Lozano, was an on-duty employee of Gold Ranch at the time of the crime. The other defendant, Joshua Kimbell, is Lozano's associate. During the investigation, detectives also noted highly suspicious financial transactions by both men.
On Thursday, RPD Detectives and the Patrol Crime Suppression Team detained Lozano and Kimbell at separate downtown hotels, and located some money from the robbery on both. After executing several search warrants in Reno and Sparks, detectives recovered a substantial amount of the cash stolen in the robbery. Both men were arrested and booked into the Washoe County Jail.
This investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Reno Police Department Robbery/Homicide Unit at 334-2188 or remain anonymous by calling Secret Witness at 322-4900.

Looks really good (very painterly), though it could do with some label's and a compass rose and such. Good to see you back as well. I hope you will continue to do more work in Cartography in the near future.
Hey everybody, it's been over a year since I last did some cartography and it felt great to get back into it. I tried out a new style compared to my older work, it's fairly rough cause I didn't want this to be a time sink but I'm happy with the final result.
I'm up for the harshest of critic to improve this one, enjoy!

Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

I really like the style of this map. Even though I'm fairly new here, I'd say that this map would benefit most from very scarce map-type details, like labels and compass roses, but that opinion might be a minority. Nice job.
That is a beautiful map! It looks like a painting in its own right (a land seen from above, not necessarily a map...). I do not know how it would look like with typical map elements like labels added. I am curious how you would incorporate them into this wonderful piece however.
Really beautiful!

Besides the lacking labels a very good map.
Thanks for the comments guys! This was sort of a study in the painterly style but now I'm convinced to actually add some labels and a good ol' fashion compass rose. Stay tuned for an update!

Not enough room in your sump for a powerful protein skimmer? Think again! Coral Vue Super Reef Octopus Super Sump Saver (SSS) protein skimmers incorporate a professional skimmer pump underneath the cone-shaped reaction chamber to minimize equipment sprawl. Coral Vue Super Reef Octopus SSS skimmers have a small footprint and use very little energy! Enjoy powerful, space-saving and energy-efficient performance when you install your Super Reef Octopus SSS skimmer.
High-quality, machine-welded cast acrylic in-sump skimmers feature the Bubble Blaster Skimmer Pump. This specially designed skimmer pump generates an enormous amount of bubbles that literally scour aquarium water free of dissolved organic compounds. Distinct cone design reduces resistance throughout the entire reaction chamber, from the base of the skimmer all the way up to the collection cup. This effective design keeps backpressure to a minimum ensuring maximum pump output. An integrated bubble plate helps reduce turbulence within the skimmer, which helps build a dense head of foam.
Ultimate cone shape body, extra-wide plumbing and neck allow for more air flow and more stable reactor chamber. Wedge pipe output lets you adjust the skimmer and enjoy greater control of adjustments compared to using ball valves. Quick release neck on the collection cup - requires 1/2 inch of clearance to remove the cup. Simple adjustment of the Gate Valve controls water level within the protein skimmer. For in-sump use in saltwater marine aquariums.

LA JOLLA — Phil Mickelson, an expert at applying backspin on the golf course, issued a statement clarifying comments he made Sunday indicating he might move out of California because of the state's income tax laws.
"I'm like many Americans who are trying to understand the new tax laws," Mickelson's statement read in part. "I certainly don't have a definitive plan at this time, but like everyone else I want to make decisions that are best for my future and my family. Finances and taxes are a personal matter and I should not have made my opinions on them public. I apologize to those I have upset or insulted and assure you I intend to not let it happen again."
After completing Sunday's Humana Challenge in La Quinta, Mickelson was quoted as saying he might move, or even consider retirement, because of increased taxes he said had pushed his tax rate to "62, 63%."
"It's been an interesting off-season," Mickelson, a lifelong San Diego-area resident, said. "And I'm going to have to make some drastic changes."
Several golfers, including Tiger Woods, have moved to Florida because it has no state income tax.
Woods addressed Mickelson's original comments at a Tuesday morning news conference in advance of this week's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.
"Well, I moved out of here back in '96 for that reason," said Woods, who grew up in Southern California. "I enjoy Florida, but also I understand what he was, I think, trying to say."
Woods and Mickelson are both entered in this week's event. Mickelson is scheduled to address the media Wednesday.

ALPENA - After a year of searching for an area schools mathematics consultant, the Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational Service District has hired a candidate Superintendent Brian Wilmot said has the whole package. The AMA hired Mary Christensen-Cooper as its new math consultant.
"She will begin her assignment with AMA on April 2," Wilmot said. "We're excited to add Mary to our staff. She has potential to do what we've done with our reading programs."
Wilmot said Christensen-Cooper has the qualities the AMA and local school districts have been looking for, with degrees from Michigan State University and Regis University in Denver. He said she comes from Aurora, Colo., where she is employed by Cherry Creek School District, since 2006.
"She's articulate and passionate about math, which is a necessity," he said.
Christensen-Cooper will begin establishing relationships with staff members and school districts in April, but will continue working with staff members throughout the summer to carry out mathematics responsibilities, professional development, curricular alignment, and programs for students, administrators and teachers in the AMA ESD. She will also provide consultative services in K-12 mathematics to improve learning and test scores.
"I think she's got the whole package. She truly believes all kids can be mathematicians," Wilmot said.

Austin >Food & Dining > Ristorante Bellissimo
107 W 5th St, Austin, TX | Directions 7870130.267141 -97.743257
Neighborhoods: Downtown
Not an experience we want to repeat – Although the food and service was good there were uninvited crawling guests that came out of the sugar bowl. Then moments later, before we could leave, more crawling insects on the wall directly behind out heads.
Best Italian in Austin! – The service at Bellisimo is top notch. We recommend Saff as a waiter. He is great and super friendly. Bellisimo provides Austin with some of the best Italian cuisine in town. I highly recommend the filet mignon with mushrooms or the filet mignon with gorgonzola that is often a special on the menu. The Linguini Cleopatra is so delicious and is my favorite dish at the restaurant along with the fennel salad. The wine list is good and reasonably priced. All in all we have been back several times and continue to be impressed with the food and service at Bellisimo. Go try it!!
Best Italian in Austin!! – My husband I went to Bellissimo over the weekend for our anniversary. I tend to be a little hesitant to try new places, but this one did not dissapoint. From the moment we walked in a knew it would be a great experience. The owner/chef was very kind and made us feel welcomed. The house wine is fabulous, not like house wines at a lot of places. And the Crabmeat Raviloi was the most wonderful pasta dish I've ever had. The prices are very reasonable especially for the level of service and the food quality. If you enjoy fine Italian I guarantee you will love this place. I can't wait to go back!!
Best Chef in Austin – Giovanni Cocciante is a Master Chef. His sauces boast a superb blending of flavors that are truly incomparable. He is also a personable and congenial host with a kind word and friendly greeting for all his patrons. His pride and his passion for serving great food is a blessing. The service is always outstanding and the atmosphere is simple but elegant. My wife and I visit each month and consider it the best restaurant in Austin for fine italian cuisine. Grazie, Giovanni!
You Won't Be Disappointed! – Absolutely the best italian food i've ever had (and my mom's italian so that says a lot). Surprised the place wasn't packed to the doors with customers since the food is so good. Quiet calm inside, EXCELLENT, customer service (it was more like personal service)! Giovanni (chef) came to our table and I let him order for me. I got a fish and shrimp dish and it was SO AWESOME and I don't really like seafood but he made it taste so good ! It was perfectly cooked and presented. I'm trying to tell everyone I know about the restuarant b/c it's still undiscovered and I don't want it to go out of business. I've never actually written a review on citysearch b/c I've never had the desire too before, but I want everyone to know how great my experience was and that they should check it out, for sure! It's worth parking in terrible downtown to go to Bellissimo.
Perfecto! Perfecto! Viva Italia! – I had heard it was good. I had heard there had been lines. And when on a whim my girlfriend, a friend, and myself decided to drop in and try Bellissimo we could not have been more surprised and absolutely pleased. The chef came out immediately after we were seated to greet us, chose our wine for us (which we ended up having two bottles of AMAZING wine), and the wait staff waited on us hand and foot (but NEVER got in the way and was always a pleasure). They don't call it Caprese salad there, but that's essentially what it is, and it was the BEST I've had anywhere. The basil was fresh, the tomatoes and mozzarella fresher. When our entrees did arrive (and the timing of appetizers to entrees was impeccable), they were absolutely incredible. Bellissimo makes places like Macaroni Grill and Asti seem like Chef Boyardee. I have never had veal so well prepared, nor my lobster ravioli such an adventure to eat. Their tiramisu was again the best I've ever had?soft, delicate?not cut from a frozen cake. The espresso was dark, strong, and perfect. But the true test (and its success) of a perfect restaurant is when even a carrot can become a fantastic culinary adventure in itself. Thank you Bellissimo?we will be back?many times.
Amazing! Best Pumpkin Ravioli – This place is new but I am sure they will be around for a long time. Just went there with a couple of friends and had the most wonderful time. The Pumpkin Ravioli was the best ravioli I have ever had absolutely mouth watering. The service was impeccable. Chef Giovanni came out to speak with us and made us all feel so delighted to be there. What a talented man!!!!!!
Genuine Italian – What a gem! My husband and I took some friends who were visiting from out of town - one of whom is very Italian - we were extremely impressed by the cuisine. We chose the prosciutto wrapped shrimp, chicken marsala, veal, calamari over polenta.....EVERYTHING was excellent. Tiramisu and unbelievable cheesecake - I've never tasted cheesecake so incredibly light in texture - truly the best I could ever expect. Apparently, judging from the photos in the restaurant, this chef has been pleasing the palates of former presidents and first ladies for quite some time albeit in a different location. He was extremely warm, hospitable and charming. We will undoubtedly become regular patrons and hope that others will discover this tiny treasure as well.
A note to all from Bellissimo – I would like to thank all those that have commented. I periodically log on to see what customers are saying good or bad. Giovanni strives to make everyone feel they have experienced true Italian hospitality and by the reaction of the customers that I have seen, I know he has done a pretty fantastic job. For the one that continues to make defamatory comments, I would like to say we know who you are, and you are waisting your time. People that know Giovanni and truly have been to Bellissimo know the truth. No one as insignificant as yourself can bring down true talent like Giovanni with your petty comments.
Best Experience – How can you rate anything other than 5 stars. Actually I would give it 10 stars if I could. I went there a week ago with my wife on our 40th anniversary. Giovanni made our night memorable. We are still talking about it. Everything we ate was spectacular. Giovanni had live music that night and even sang for us. The man is a true talent. What a gift for Austin to have Giovanni. BRAVISIMO GIOVANNI!!!!!!!!
