Squeaks and bad idle
So truck was squeaking really bad. Sprayed all the pulleys with WD-40 and determined the tensioner pulley on the main belt was done. Replaced it and the nasty screech went away.
BUT, there is still a squeak. Not so much at idle, but if I rev it or give it gas it has a small chirp coming from the front left( when looking at the motor). Could it be the belt or AC pulley? How do you test AC pulleys with the location they are in?
The truck threw a code after I fixed this stuff. It had a terrible idle that the pulley helped with a bit, but it still shudders the odd time, the stalling stopped though.
Code P0102. Has to do with MAF sensor. How do I fix this or what could it be. I am goin to try cleaning my MAF and my K&N filter is brand new. If this do not work do I need a new MAF?
Thanks guys

KINGSBURG — A hit-and-run collision killed a 43-year-old Chow-chilla man who was walking along a rural road near Kingsburg during the weekend, the California Highway Patrol reported Monday.
The dead man's identity is being withheld pending notification of his family.
Andrew A. Sanchez, 30, of Kingsburg was arrested for felony hit-and-run in connection with the incident, according to the CHP.
Officers said the victim was walking in the southbound lane of Diagonal 24, near Ward Drive, at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday when he was hit. They said Sanchez was driving a 2010 Ford Fusion at about 50 mph, also in the southbound lane, approaching the victim.
The CHP said it isn't known if the victim suddenly moved into the path of the Ford Fusion or if Sanchez failed to see the man walking in the roadway.
The front of the car struck the victim, throwing him over the vehicle. His body landed in the southbound lane, according to the CHP. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
After the collision, officers said, Sanchez fled the scene in the Ford Fusion, which later was found by Kingsburg Fire Department personnel at the 18th Avenue offramp of northbound Highway 99.
Officers said the Ford Fusion had damage consistent with hitting a pedestrian. A follow-up investigation of the registered owner led officers to a Kingsburg residence, where they found Sanchez.
He was arrested in connection with the fatal hit-and-run. The CHP said the incident remains under investigation.

HENRICO, VA (WWBT) – When Col. Van T. Barfoot raises the American flag, it's a special moment, in a life that's full of them.
"Just, one of the most beautiful things we've got on our side. It really is," said Col. Barfoot.
In 1944, as a 25-year-old, he received the military's highest award: the Medal of Honor, for an act of heroism in World War Two. That makes him now, at age 90, a living legend.
To put that in perspective, when Col. Barfoot attends a Veterans Day service, he's the only one to receive a standing ovation. So when he was told that flying his American flag this way could lead to a fine of up to $10 a day, it was all so confusing.
"To tell me that I can't fly that now, after 90 years is a little bit, more than I can really just sit back and take it," he said.
Colonel Barfoot and the homeowner's board where he lives are at odds. The by-laws don't permit flagpoles...most neighbors just attach flags to the front of their houses. But the colonel doesn't believe in flying the flag any other way. His daughter wrote the board, hoping for a one-time exception.
"I presented the one and only exception that I thought would never ever happen again, and that was having a Medal of Honor recipient living in this community," said Margaret Nichols, Col. Barfoot's daughter.
The request was politely denied. The colonel raised his flag anyway.
"That's my dad. Ha-ha. He's never run from a fight in the past and he's not gonna run from this one," said Margaret.
He says it will "stay" that way, for as long as he lives in the house.
"I feel that I've earned the right to have it fly...regardless of what they say," said Col. Barfoot.
The board has thanked Col. Barfoot for his bravery and service to the country, but maintains that the flagpole is against a longstanding neighborhood policy. If the fines actually do come down, several other people have offered to pay them.

Received this as an extra in a trade from a generous BA thanks!
Appearance: Pours a light amber to honey tinged copper with decent clarity and a 1 finger white crown that shows little lace as well as little retention.
Smell: Mildly earthy and herbal with a faint caramel to toffee malt profile.
Taste: Alcohol presence and esters up front. Caramel, toffee, honey, brown sugar, and minor plum notes in the finish. Surprisingly no signs of oxidation found.
Mouthfeel: On the thick side of medium bodied with ample carbonation.
Overall: I probably shouldn't assume that this beer tasted anything like this back when it was made quite a long time ago, but based on how it tastes now I'm happy they retired it.

750ml bottle to tulip. Big four finger head erupts in the glass over a slightly clouded orange amber beer. Head is loud and crackly, descends quickly. I feel like I just poured milk over Rice Crispies the way this thing is making noise. Lots of carbonation. The head settles as a flat bubbling cap across the surface.
Aroma is tart and spicy, dominated by smells all characteristic of playful and outgoing yeast strains. Vanilla, lemon, peppercorn, strawberry, eggnog. Not quite as strong as it seemed upon first pour. Looking forward to tasting this one.
Interesting combination of sweet vanilla, almost oily, with also some dry flavors of peppercorn, dehydrated fruit. Mouthfeel is not exactly consistent... Some large bubbles but also buttery, oily finish. Astringent characteristics, over ripe fruit. It's a big beer, and you can taste all 10% of it. Some concentrated hop flavors in the finish as well. Quite complex & spicy yet there's something that rubs me the wrong way. I think it's the mouthfeel... if it were crisper it would certainly go down a lot more easily.

A-cloudy golden appearance after pour, darker at bottom, small half finger head and hazy throughout.
S-Fruity, grape and apple, lots of fresh fruit, cherry and a sweet almost honey like smell
T-A bit of funk to this one, slightly tart, apples, cherries and pears in the taste. A good amount of belgian yeast in the finish
M- medium body, spicy afterfeel and average amount of carbonation.
Overall a solid beer, hides the 10% very nicely

Had a glass at the Trapp Door in Emmaus PA. The beer was smooth and well-aged, but as distinct or complex as you'd hope for a beer like this. There was a big fig ester hit up front and a light, nutty caramel malt taste rolls through the finish. It's a tasty beer, but the flavors are blending together instead of standing out and complementing each other.

Found this beer at Gingerman in South Norwalk where it was served in a tall wine glass.
Initially looks much like you'd expect from a Belgian strong pale ale - strongly golden, with a soft honey cloudiness to it. Foamy, but with no lacing, kind of dies out. Nose has an interesting mix of banana and whiskey oak - just a little tart, and definitely a good share of tropical fruit.
Taste has a reasonable amount of maltiness, and a definite tartness to it, but no balanced hops. Its sweet, with tropical fruits, and while interesting, its really not that enjoyable, just too much going on. Doesn't have the crispness of a Duvel, for example. Smooth, and light/medium body, soft and creamy. Heavy on the ABV is definitely noticeable throughout the drink, which hinders the drinkability.

Draft. Poured into a small Snifter. Color is a slightly murky tannish caramel color. Lots of dark fruit notes (prune, raisin, etc) in the nose along with some caramel. Medium mouthfeel. Caramel sweet start with dark fruit sweetness and a touch of tangy, sour/tart. Booze evident and warms slightly. Overall, not bad and good to see a good bee coming out if Italy!

The beer looks very much like the super baladin, with sort of hazy golden amber color. The beer menu mentions that this beer is a whiskey malt ale, and I'm not sure what that means. In any event, the has some light citrus, light cherry, vanilla, and maybe a hint of whiskey. On the palate, I'm much more impressed with this beer. While it's on the sweet side, I get some very nice underlying whiskey flavor (canadian or Irish if I had to hazzard a guess), as well as some brown sugar, vanilla, toffee and light milk chocolate. This is a pretty tasty brew. Mouthfeel is fairly light and drinkability is terrific considering the abv. It's hardly noticeasble, and this beer is not at all heavy or tiring on the palate.
Yummy. This is impressive.

Half finger head on a cloudy copper and crimson body. Very bready and malty with peach, apricot and cantaloupe fruity sweetness. Fairly spivey as well. Flavor is fairly boozy and malt forward bordering on a barleywine. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Candied oranges, citrus hops notes as well. This one is very sweet as expected. Fairly boozy overall.

Picked up a giant bottle of this at Shangy's in Emmaus to take along with me to Thanksgiving dinner with my family. The bottle had the year 2000 pressed into the glass just below the neck. The cap was heavily wax coated, The bottle opened with an impressive hiss for being 10 years old.The look of the beer was a cloudy orange yellow color. The head was a little fizzy but had a light lacing on the glass. The smell of the beer had a wonderful aroma of sweet tropical fruits and some flowers in there. The beer smells really nice overall. The taste of the beer wasn't as good as the smell but not too far off. The beer had a nice amount of Belgian yeast, and fruit flavors. The mouthfeel had soft and lightly carbonated feel to it. Overall I really enjoyed this beer quite a bit. Very nice to have something like this with family and friends around the holidays.

On-tap at Beachwood BBQ,
A: Pours a cloudy orange with a solid white head, good lace.
S: Guava/pineapple/mango - very tropical on the first sniff. Banana and sweet strawberry come out later with some nutmeg, very complex.
T: Bitter coriander, assorted citrus and rind, and some peach. Noticable acid adds a nice complexity.
M: Moderate acidity, with a firm Belgian strong ale body.
D: This beer is all over the place, I don't know what to expect next, and I love it for that. Belgian-styled in origin, with some Italian flair; my first from the legendary Baladin and I'm very impressed.

Nice and rich take on a BSPA.
Presentation: 12 oz draft pour. Menu offers a short and fair description of the brew. Notes Alc. by Vol. (10.0%) Served on a tulip glass.
A - Hazy medium amber pour with a short foamy head, medium retention and some lacing.
S - Sweet aromas, caramel, and a touch of booze.
T - Rich sweetness coating a sense of whisky/liquor like notes. Whisky yeast is used for the brewing and it clearly shows here, caramel and a touch of spices are also present.
M - Medium-light body with fair to low carbonation, and a creamy finish.
D - Rich serving, almost good to sip when it is in top shape form. Alcohol is nicely integrated.
Notes: I had a chance of having this one twice in two different places and does a beer change when is out of shape. First time, more so what the review reflects, the brew felt pretty extraordinary. However the second time around it was quite flat and while drinkable it did not offer the richness and freshness noticed on the other serving. Both are typically quality places and don't incur in any form of keg mismanagement, but it could be. It could also be irregular importing and/or brewing... Hard to say.
Ah, this could also be a new take on their Elixir and maybe worth considering merging with that brew if that is the conclusion. But either recipe or branding this offering is sure hitting the region under a different coating as Al - Iksir and not Elixir.

On-tap at the Porter in Atlanta.
Pours a clear dark amber color with a one-finger slightly off-white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of rich medium malts with good amounts of ripe pear and tropical fruit aromas. Also present are mild amounts of funk and even lighter amounts of musty hops.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Sweet medium malt flavors kick things off and are quickly joined by good amounts of medium fruit flavors - pears, apricots, and tropical fruits, in that order. Midway through the sip the fruit flavors turn slightly tart and carry through to a crisp ending. As the beer warms light hints of vanilla work their way out.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with smooth carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I finished my glass quickly and could easily have a few more.
Overall I was impressed with this beer - it's got a lot going on and manages to blend everything together nicely. Worth a shot.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Highway 75 closes today
Rising flood waters require closing the entire stretch of Highway 75 from Winnipeg to Highway 14, the province announced today.
An alternate route detour is in effect using Highways 3 to Winkler, then east on Highway 14, before hooking up with Highway 75 south. All closures are signed and marked and detour signs are in place to direct traffic.
However, stretches open to local traffic are Winnipeg to Provincial Road 205, and Morris to Highway 14.
The closure of much of Highway 75 starting will add $1.5 million a week to the cost of trucking goods back and forth between Canada and the United States, the Manitoba Trucking Association estimates.
Bob Dolyniuk, an association spokesman, said truckers hauling goods from Winnipeg to the U.S. border face a costly detour of about 100 kilometres.
"You're looking at a round-trip increased cost, just between Winnipeg and the border, in the neighbourhood of $400 per trip," he said Monday.
Provincial flood forecaster Alf Warkentin said the major route could be flooded for two-and-a-half weeks.
That could put the cost to the trucking industry at more than $3.5 million -- something that Dolyniuk said it cannot -- and will not -- absorb.
"We've already had indications from some of the larger responsible shippers that they recognize there's an increased cost (because of the detour) and they recognize that trucking companies will have to be paid extra for these costs," he said.
Truckers can't use Highway 59 as an alternative because of spring weight restrictions on that road between St. Malo and the U.S. border.
In 2006, flooding caused Highway 75 to be closed for 18 days -- from April 10-28.
Trucking firms -- and their clients -- aren't the only ones getting hurt by the road closure.
The border town of Emerson -- now the fourth-busiest border crossing in the country -- is feeling the pinch as truckers who can do so cross the border in Alberta or Saskatchewan instead.
"I know of some (local) staff that have been working for custom brokers that have been basically laid off over the last week or so... " Emerson Mayor Wayne Arseny said.
Businesses in Morris will also be affected, as traffic that normally goes right through town detours to the west of it.
Mayor Dale Hoffman said Monday that restaurants, service stations, convenience stores and other retailers will be impacted.
Neil Gobelle, a provincial highways spokesman, said local traffic will still be permitted on Highway 75 as far south as Provincial Road 205.
Meanwhile, Arseny said the challenge for the province will be to get Highway 75 "out of the water" when the Red rises in the future.

Interview With a Vampire Expert
Author Eric Nuzum surveys (and survives) the secret world of bloodsuckers
Like most people who find themselves wrestling with vampires—Jonathan Harker, Robert Neville, Buffy—Eric Nuzum was leading a perfectly normal life until the monsters came along. He was an audiophile and pop culture journalist with an expertise in how the state and cultural watchdogs try and trammel creativity. In 2001 he published Public Advisory: Music Censorship in America, a civil libertarian's history of musical nannyism from the Beatles' "butcher baby" cover to the Gore family's war on the heavy metal band W.A.S.P. Nuzum's next project was going to be a history of the American burlesque show.
But vampires got in the way. As Nuzum crunched Count Chocula one morning in his Washington, D.C. home, he flipped on his TV and caught President Bush warning against the soft fascism of plugging in too many appliances and becoming an "energy vampire." Flipping through a magazine, Nuzum saw a model with fangs and a cape enticing him to buy some vodka and "drink in the night." He had his project. "If the vampire is ubiquitous," he wondered, "how did this happen? Why did this happen? I wanted insight."
The result was The Dead Travel Fast: Stalking Vampires from Nosferatu to Count Chocula. Nuzum encountered neither of those fiends, but his reporting ping-ponged him around the Western world, to a vampire bar tour in San Francisco, to a fetish night in New York, to Bram "Dracula" Stoker's old stomping grounds in the English town of Whitby. He accompanied sickly vegetarians and Munsters star Butch Patrick on a fact-challenged tour of Vlad the Impaler's Transylvania. He Netflixed more than 200 vampire movies, hating most of them. (Nuzum argues that the John Malkovich-Willem Defoe thesp-fest Shadow of the Vampire is the best the genre has to offer, and that 1994's Interview with the Vampire was the last to impact the culture in a real way.)
Two years and 240 pages later, what did Nuzum learn about the secret world of the vampyr? It was both weirder and less shocking than you'd imagine. The vampire myth itself is ancient, indelible, and didn't come out of Transylvania. Most civilizations actually have a fantasy creature who sucks blood, and Christendom's version started with Greek churches telling parisheners that their dead relatives would rise up and start drinking the red stuff if they misbehaved. And followers of that myth, the people who call themselves vampires, are generally sort of nice. Some are reclusive, some are younger than they say they are in chat rooms, and none of them will prove to a journalist that they actually drink blood. (Nuzum drank some of his own and got very sick.)
"All of the vampire folks I met," Nuzum writes, "are all at least marginally aware of the darkness in their own lives. The only difference between them and us is that they've styled their physical world to match their inner one."
reason spoke with Nuzum in a bar not far from his NPR office in Washington, D.C.
reason: This seems like a strange follow-up to your first book. What's the connectivity between music censorship and vampires?
Eric Nuzum: There's much more than you'd think, if you buy into my central premise. Vampires are the perfect metaphor. You use them to express things you fear, things you find exciting. Music plays the same role in some people's lives. When you look at some of the issues around music censorship, you're controlling what someone can and can't listen to, or what they can and can't say.
reason: And you write about some of the frenzy from parents who think vampire mythos are turning their kids weird.
Nuzum: It's the same situation that comes up with music—people will say "Ozzy Osbourne is responsible for my kid shooting his head off," or overdosing, or killing himself. Ozzy must be the problem! But the reality's that Ozzy is a symptom, not a cause. People who are of extreme emotions, who hold extreme views of the world, pick extreme music to represent that. I write in the book about "Vampire: The Masquerade," this full-on role-playing game that has been blamed for driving kids to violence. Well, no. That game did not turn otherwise good kids into bad kids. It was just another example of many things that were wrong with their lives.
reason: It doesn't change their behavior?
Nuzum: No. That argument is just like how Marilyn Manson is responsible for Columbine. It's silly. If you look back to Tipper Gore and the PMRC, everybody remembers three of their four areas of concern. They remember drugs, they remember violence, and they remember extreme sexuality. And there was a fourth category—the occult. Nobody remembers that, but at the time it was a commonly held belief that musicians were devil worshippers. If we look back now it seems unbelievably silly. So we've decided that one of those pillars was complete nonsense. What's that mean? Probably that all of those pillars were nonsense.
reason: You visited a fetish club called the Court of Lazarus, this darkly lit place that serves blood-colored cocktails, where people watch murder simulated onstage. Is their obsession is making those people more dangerous?
Nuzum: If it wasn't vampires it would be something else. They'd be running around in diapers whipping each other with a cat o' nine tails. Nefarious Wrath, the main guy in Court of Lazarus, kept saying over and over to me that "this is an archetype for us." And I totally believe that. Many of people who I spoke with really couldn't answer deep questions about why they liked to play this way. They'd say: I look at this, and it makes sense to me.
reason: But as you point out, there are surges in the amount of vampire literature or films when people are worried about disease. The last big spike was during the height of the American AIDS scare. Why would people choose this as their fantasy?

OK, so Zombies replaced the passe' ninjas, who had replaced the appallingly stone-aged pirates. So does this mean that vampires are the new zombie? Is that what the tragically hip are dressing as this year?
I can't get over the fact that someone ran for office on the "impale evildoers" platform. Really, that is weird and worthy of ridicule.
That said, at least vampires have much flashier wardrobes than zombies.
"While it's easy to dismiss that-hey, the guy thinks impalement is a good way to curb crime!-it's not much of a step from saying "that guy believes in vampires" to saying "that guy believes in Allah! That's weird." If you create a culture that just mocks those ideas or mocks the people who believe them then you're in dangerous territory."
I'd say the opposite is true. Moral equivalency is far more dangerous! All beliefs are not created equal. Allah is not the God of Judaism or Christianity. There is nothing wrong with saying that someone is crazy for believing something or that they are wrong. Why should that form of disagreement be "dangerous territory"?
Did the tragically hip ever actually dress as zombies?
Beware the Mahdi,
Yeah? Well my Level 37 Vampire Paladin would kick any god's ass!
For a brief history of vampire mythology, I recommend Vampires: Restless Creatures of the Night, by Jean Mariony. It covers thousands of years, going back to ancient figures like Lilitu .
Well, your level 37 vampire paladin dresses like a girl. And you're stupid.
See everyone? I disagreed with AND insulted Taktix and the world did not end!
See everyone? I disagreed with AND insulted Taktix and the world did not end!
Jeez! Give me a minute. Armageddon take time, man...
I don't know about vampires, but zombies are crucial for certain philosophical thought experiments about how a material universe can form sentient (as opposed to merely intelligent and emotive) beings at all.
Those with a stake (no pun intended) in the debate over God's existence should pay especially close attention here.
Yes, but the real question is, do Vampires have any songs named after them as cool as this?
Am I the only one who didn't know this tidbit from the zombie article:
"George Romero, a Pittsburgh-based director of TV commercials and occasional segments for Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood . . ."
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day for a zombie
I want you alive
I want you alive
I'll devour your flesh, because it tastes good
Then I'll slurp your insides like spaghetti
And you'll die slowly
And you'll die slowly
I always wanted to make a meal out . . . of . . . you
I always wanted to come to your neighborhood
And eat you
So . . . let's have some fun on this beautiful day
As I'm devouring you I will hear you say
Won't you please
Won't you please
Please, Zombie Rogers
Kill me quicker.
"If you create a culture that just mocks those ideas or mocks the people who believe them then you're in dangerous territory."
He was speaking of an entire culture here - I think he is talking more pervasive than the largely impotent or repressed "mockers" in America today. Of course having some of us be xenophobic is kind of a fact of life; in this way, we are balanced, having some uncomfortable things like Guantanamo, but knowing these are the exception to the rule. Yet soon we approach having a majority of the populace treating people with mockery, which quickly escalates into physical form à la Spanish Inquisition or, you might argue, the War on Drugs.
I think drawing a parallel between the Spanish Inquisition and the war on drugs is a bit much, but more power to you if you can make it stick. I'd like to hear your take on it.
What concerns me is this idea where it's all of a sudden dangerous to mock a person or group for their beliefs. There isn't anything wrong with thinking someone is crazy for believing something. When those thoughts are put into action in order to silence, oppress or harm someone then that's dangerous. But to assume that thoughts inevitably lead to action is ignorant. At least twice on my drive to and from work I want to kill someone who cuts me off or almost causes an accident. But even if I had a gun in my vehicle I wouldn't pull it out and try to kill them. Thoughts are not dangerous, speech is not dangerous. Actions can be, but are not inherently so.
There are plenty of politicians who would run on an "impale evildoers" platform if they thought it would bring in the votes. As it is, they cloak the same sentiment in being tough on crime, cleaning up the streets and protecting the country.

Having one of the top players in the area return in the form of senior pitcher-infielder Connor Digiacomo will certainly help first-year coach Jared Sziber.
The Eagles will have a strong senior class for Sziber to work with as joining Digiacomo is Brandon Kovach (CF-P), infielder Ryan Nappi, utility man Steve Robertson and outfielders Steve Jewell, Chad Weisbarth and Kyle Burkhammer.
The other returning letterman for Geneva is junior Josh Sanchez (INF-P).
Sziber likes the mix of veterans and underclassmen his team has.
"We have a good mix of veteran and young talent," he said. "In order for us to reach our full potential the young talent needs to grow up fast."
Sziber expects the Premier Athletic Conference to continue to be competitive with North and South near the top of the pack.
While difficult, he expects his team to contend.
"North and South will be the favorites and rightly so," he said. "I fully expect us to be competitive and right there in the mix toward the top of the conference."
Grand River Academy
In his first year at GRA, Brian Ballentine has four returning lettermen to work with.
Back are seniors Billy Fanning (2B) and Leo Goldman (C) and juniors Scott Sender (1B) and pitcher Gary Leslie.
"Defense and starting pitching (are key)," Ballentine said. "We lost a lot of talent from last year's LEC championship team.
"We hope that the new student-athletes will step in and fill the void."
After winning the LEC the past two seasons, Ballentine is expecting another title.
"We have set our goals high," he said. "We are hoping for a third straight LEC title."
Grand Valley
For the second straight year, Mustangs coach Russ Bell is looking at replacing a lot of talent.
GV was hit hard by graduation last year after qualifying for state in 2012, but it responded with a 17-7 record and a tie for first in the Northeastern Athletic Conference.
Bell returns two seniors who lettered last season --— Chandler Verhas (1B-P) and Jack Scott (OF). Mustang sophomore Matt Larned (SS-P) also returns as lettermen from 2013.
"The biggest key to the season will be how well our very young team gains confidence, matures and adapts to the competiveness and speed of the game at the varsity level," Bell said. "We only have two returning starters from last year's team — Chandler Verhas and Matt Larned. I know Chandler will be a great leader for this team and he will be key to helping us maintain a team-first positive attitude. I look forward to him having another good year for us at first base and at the plate. He will also have to step up into a new role as a pitcher for us, as well."
As he does prior to every season, Bell stressed the importance of pitching.
With only one pitcher returning who letter last year, Bell is counting on 12 potential pitchers from the sophomore and freshman class to step up and perform at a varsity level.
"Another key (like every season) will be pitching," he said. We only have one pitcher returning from last year (Larned) who is also our shortstop. I expect him to not only have a good year at short and at the plate, but to step in to the lead role on the pitching staff. We have a number of young arms that show promise, but only time will tell."
While GV might be young, Bell said that will not be excuse for his team
"We will not let our youth be an excuse," he said. "We will keep working hard every day to improve, play the game with enthusiasm and stay positive when the inevitable bumps in the road come our way. It should be fun to watch such a young group grow both as baseball players and young men as the season progresses."
After splitting for a conference title last year, Bell thinks the NAC is wide open this season.
"I feel the conference is up for grabs," he said. "The conference is so well balanced and will only be tougher with the addition of Windham. The difference this year will be that the conference is going back to divisions. As defending co-champs, PV will be tough to beat again this year. Maplewood and Mathews will be tough as always.
"I know with our recent run of success, everyone will be gunning for us. Teams are not going to care about our youth and inexperience, nor should they. I just want our kids to compete hard, have fun and play the game with fundamentals and enthusiasm. We will see where that takes us."
In his 12th season in charge of the Mustangs, Bell wanted to wish success to the rest of the area's teams.
"I want to wish all of the area coaches and players a fun, successful and safe season," he said. "Good luck and let's hope we all have a great spring."

You nailed it. Of course that is what the governor was waiting for, and he didn't get it because they were not reasonable and were unwilling to participate in democracy. If the process doesn't work for them (democrats) then they refuse to be part of the process. It is just that simple folks. I find Flatblade to be one of the more reasonable liberals to exchange opinions and facts with. Nothing like Barbara, Yeah, Rider, or so many others from the left.<quoted text>
Because Governor Walker is a reasonable guy and he hoped the Run-away Democrats would eventually return to do their job - like it or not. He was wrong; they wouldn't suck it up and return to the Capitol so he proceeded with the State's work without them - within the laws as written by some of those very Runaways. Bottom line: they lost!

Stained glass piece neglected for 20 years restored to former glory
3:00am Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News By Kit Sproson
A stained glass window left untended for 20 years has been restored to its rightful place in the chapel at Ashford Hospital.
The window, depicting Christ with the lamb, was all that remained of the old chapel demolished in 1994.
Originally placed in the south transept, it withstood nearly 20 years of British weather in the hospital gardens.
Ashford Hospital Chaplain Maureen Body said: "The woodwork had deteriorated badly and the window itself was in a poor state.
"In the recent high winds, it came away from its footings but, luckily, the stained glass itself survived without any damage."
And thanks to a dedicated research team, an appropriate home for it has been found in the present Ashford Hospital chapel.

As one of the more affordably priced handsets from the company, the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition is a good value, offering road warriors a midlevel device with decent navigation skills and the freedom of an unlocked phone.
Steer toward Nokia's Lumia 1320 for an affordable supersize phone you can rely on, but not before checking out Android rivals with fancier specs and comparable price tags.
At $280, the Vortex is a good deal for a rugged phone, but those looking for a high-end Android phone should look elsewhere.
The $50 Bluetooth-connected accessory makes a case for expanding your cell phone experience, but this writer has her doubts.
In buying Nokia's phone division, Microsoft has suddenly taken on a role it's never played before: being a phone-maker. As a hardware and OS challenger to Android and iOS devices, there's much at stake as Redmond roars ahead.
Even if you slap a case on your brand-new smartphone, the handset's aesthetics matter more than you might think.
Even if you're only interested in its sharp, innovative camera, the Nokia 808 PureView's weak Symbian Belle OS and slower processor make it a questionable investment considering the price, especially since Symbian's days are numbered.
The Nokia 225 is a feature phone giving you a splash of Lumia colour without splashing out.

This hotel was great, excellent location near the S-Bahn station and near the MarienPlatz you can walk everywhere. Lots of restaurants near by (walking distance). The rooms were very nice and the bathrooms were extremely clean and spacious. Staff super friendly and helpful. I would most definitely stay here again when in Munich. - Odette
The Front Desk Staff were wounderful, with a positive attitude, and went the extra mile. All info about cultural sites, flights, taxis, and logistics is available instantly. The breakfast buffet was wounderful. The Garden Restaurant is fantastic. The Blue Spa is the answer after a long day. Shopping, churches and museums are within 1km. Red Carpet event, Bayer Oscar night, at the Hotel was a plus. - Samer
The facilities were excellent - on a par with much more expensive and larger establishments. The service was so friendly it was like staying in a much smaller, famly run hotel - 10 out of 10. - Barry

text: Talking with your child or teen about having a brain tumor Helping your child or teen understand what a brain tumor is can help him or her cope better with treatment. It is important to talk to your child about the tumor and answer questions in honest, simple terms. If you do not give your child the facts in words he or she can understand, the child's own thoughts can often be scarier than the truth. Many different staff members will be involved in helping your child understand his or her disease and treatments. A certified child life specialist is one of the team members who will work closely with your family. This staff member can help the patient and siblings understand treatment and adjust to being in the hospital. Child life specialists are here to work with your child and his or her brothers and sisters at any time during your stay. The following ideas may help you talk with your child about a brain tumor. We suggest that you use the word "tumor" openly with the patient. That way your child will be familiar with the word and more at ease when asking questions. Using words that your child will understand Verbal Toddler: Use words your child knows such as "boo-boo" or "owie." Tell the child where the "booboo" is (point to your child's head). It is OK to use the word "tumor" in front of your toddler. This will help him or her feel more at ease when people use the word. Preschooler: Again, using the word tumor around your preschooler will help him or her feel more at ease with the word when asking questions. Preschoolers should understand if you say, "Inside your head is sick," and point to where the tumor is. Early School-Age Child: A school-age child that has not learned about cells may understand if you say, "You have a tumor inside your brain. A tumor means something grew inside your brain that is sick and not supposed to be there." School-Age Child: Many children at this age have begun learning about cells. You may want to explain that a brain tumor is made up of "a group of sick cells that are all together inside the brain." Teens: At this age your teen may want to sit in on talks with the doctor to hear about the tumor and treatment in-depth. But, it is still important to talk about the things that are said during these discussions. As with all ages, use the correct terms for the illness and treatments. Keep in mind Talking about your child's illness may bring up many questions. Talking freely with him or her about coming to the hospital and about treatment can help him or her to cope. At all age levels, it is important to assure your child that the illness is not contagious; he or she cannot give it to anyone or get it from anyone else. Also, this illness is not a punishment; nothing your child did or did not do could have made this illness happen. Page 1 of 2 w w w. u c d m c . u c d a v i s . e d u / c a n c e r Continued Some brain tumors are cancerous and some are not. If your child's tumor is cancerous, use the word "cancer" along with "tumor" so he or she will know the word when others say it. If your child has cancer, he or she needs to know that there are many types of cancer and each person's illness is different. Each cancer patient takes different kinds of medicines that work best for that person's cancer and body type. Questions? The Child Life staff can work closely with your family to help your child or teen understand his or her brain tumor and adjust to being in the hospital. At the same time, they help promote normal development. The patient's doctor and nurses are also available to answer questions. Adapted with permission from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

There could be worlds between us - for all the difference it makes
A distance measured in land, in sea, in people and in places
An infinite journey in each bus, each train and each plane
There is patience, in every second, every minute and every hour
And an unspoken desire to sew the cracked continents back together – inch by inch, metre by metre, second by second.
Make us whole.

OGDENSBURG St. Lawrence County sold 139 parcels for more than $1 million Saturday at its auction of tax-acquired property at Lockwood Arena in Ogdensburg.
The money generated is nearly twice as much as last years sale of 110 properties which the county sold for $550,000. This years total sales were $1,043,800.
There were a few bigger properties and some houses, Treasurer Kevin M. Felt said. We need the money but its sad people are letting decent houses go because they cant afford their taxes.
The county started with 330 properties in the sale but ended up with 139 as owners were able to redeem the parcels if they paid back taxes, interest and penalties by the close of business Friday.
The auction was conducted by Gregory J. Walsh.

My thoughts:
I've seen T. Gonzalez ranked higher than A. Gates on a LOT of lists. I know that Gonzalez has a proven track record going for him and there are doubts about what happens to Brees in the offseason, but 81 catches for 964 yards and 13 TDs speaks enough volume to me to justify my first TE pick for Gates.
Tatum Bell at #34 is silly high. There's no guarantee that he'll have the starting job - R. Droughns, Q. Griffin, or some guy 5th on the depth chart could end up being the man in Denver next year. You just never know.
Two rushing and one receiving touchdown last year! Unless you are in a yardage league that awards one point per five yards rushing, Fred Taylor does not deserve to be ranked as high as #28, and higher than the likes of Chris Brown and Warrick Dunn.
Steve Smith is too low at number 88. Unless his broken leg does not heal properly, this guy is a major force. Besides being an exceptional WR he returns punts.

How to Make Mac & Cheese Healthier (Page 3)
1. Add Spinach to Increase Nutrients.
Though delicious, traditional macaroni and cheese doesn't offer much nutritionally. Adding a layer of spinach to the middle of your creamy casserole gives you 37% of your daily value of folate, as well as some beta carotene and vitamins E and C. And sneaking it in between layers of noodles and cheese might get even the pickiest eaters to enjoy their vegetables.
