A Vise-Grip for Any Occasion
Can you ever have too many Vise-Grips? The answer, of course, is NO! Vise-Grips come in a vast array of configurations and sizes to clamp and hold everything from rusted-on nuts to sheetmetal to tubing. The round, serrated jaws of the LC-6 clamp (center of photo) readily clamp around tubing and make a great handrest while welding. The 6R C-clamp (lower left) can be used to pinch off a rubber brake line when changing a brake caliper. How many ways can you use Vise-Grips? How big is your imagination?
For more information, contact: Irwin Industrial Tools, www.irwin.com.
Mini Welding Table
Fullsize welding tables are great to have, but if you do a lot of work on small parts, this ProtoFab mini welding table is the way to go. Constructed from heavy steel plate and square tubing, the ProtoFab mini welding table can be set up nearly anywhere and provides a rugged, electrically conductive surface on which to weld. The TIG torch is not included, but it does show how compact the table really is.
For more information, contact: ProtoFab, (714) 674-0099, www.protofab.com.
Arc-Zone.com Hot Foot Amperage Control
A secure foot pedal with a positive, predictable feel is just as important in TIG welding as it is in your trail rig. Arc-Zone.com offers its Hot Foot pedals for Miller, Lincoln, and ESAB TIG-welding machines. The Hot Foot boasts heavy-duty metal construction, a high-profile heel stop, a return spring that feels just right (not too stiff or too soft), and a nonslip pedal surface. This particular Hot Foot has seen hundreds of hours of use and works as well as the day it came out of the box.
For more information, contact: Arc-Zone.com, (800) 944-2243, www.arc-zone.com.
McMaster-Carr Transfer Punches
When holes need to line up perfectly, you'll need a transfer punch to mark the hole center in the undrilled material. Select the appropriate-size transfer punch, lay the drilled material over the undrilled material, and insert the transfer punch against the raw surface. One good smack with a hammer, and the new hole's center is perfectly marked and ready for drilling. Transfer punches are available individually or in sets.
For more information, contact: McMaster-Carr, (562) 463-4277, www.mcmaster.com.
Hougen RotaCut Sheetmetal Cutter Kit
Conventional hole saws are pretty good, but they're nowhere near as precise as the RotaCut hole cutters. Thanks to precision-ground high-speed steel construction, RotaCut annular hole cutters produce burr-free holes with superior accuracy compared to conventional hole saws. The RotaCut hole cutters only cut the outer perimeter of the holes, so no time is spent boring through material in the center of the hole as is the case with a conventional drill bit. These features make RotaCut hole cutters more accurate than traditional hole saws and faster than traditional drill bits. Hougen RotaCut hole cutters can bore through sheetmetal, plate, and plastic up to 1/4 inch thick and are available in a wide range of sizes. This convenient set comes with seven cutters, a drill arbor, center punch, wrench, two pilot points, and stop washers.
For more information, contact: Hougen Mfg., (800) 426-7818, www.hougen.com.
Van Sant Angle Level and Base
A gap-free fit is the first step toward a world-class weld. Keeping your notches and bends in their desired planes is much easier when using an angle level and base from Van Sant Enterprises. The base attaches to round tubing up to 2 inches diameter, and the angle level magnetically attaches to the base. The inner wheel of the angle level swivels 360 degrees and is liquid-filled to stabilize the indicator needle. Yes, you can use your calibrated eyeball to track your bends and notches, but take our word that getting a tool specifically built for this task makes for faster and more accurate fabrication.
For more information, contact: Van Sant Enterprises (877) VAN-SANT www.trick-tools.com
Van Sant Tab and Bracket Holder
This cool tool holds weld tabs and brackets in place for tack welding. Height and lateral position can be adjusted, and the clamp holds securely to round or square tubing. The Van Sant tab and bracket holder is clasping a ProtoFab prestamped weld tab.

Harkin Healthcare
Posted By News On @ 7:44 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Iowa's Tom Harkin was among the Democrats casting a yes vote in this week's passage of the healthcare bill in the Senate. Harkin called it "one of the defining votes" in his Senate career. He says the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act takes a step towards reaching the goals of decreasing the number of uninsured Americans, increasing access to affordable care and making insurance companies more accountable. The measure will now have to be reconciled with a House version before it's up for presidential approval.

|>> Archive: Striper (etc) Flies Tricks of the trade
|Topic Review (Newest First)
fly fishing (not ice fishing) !
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, you got to read this!
Crack! As loud as a bullwhip, the line flails front, back, front - each false cast sends shavings of ice skittering off across the surface of Ox Toe Pond in northern Pennsylvania, like tiny glass crabs chasing each other across a magically frozen beach.
We call them line chips Lenny Currow, Jr. tells me through a plaid scarf. The line will ice up on a really cold day, and the flexing makes the chips shoot off during a cast. But thats when you know conditions are really right for fly fishing the ice.
Fly fishing the ice? I admit, I had never heard of it either, until a few days after this past Thanksgiving - Thanksgiving being that bittersweet holiday when I put away my fishing gear for the season, eat a lot of turkey, and rake a lot of leaves. Oh for a world (like Florida, I guess) where a man could fish whenever he wants! But I dont live in Florida (or Texas) and so, Saturday after Thanksgiving, year in, year out, up goes the fly rod onto its rack in the garage, and I am faced with the long wait until April. Or I used to be, anyway.
Im betting that in a years time, fly fishing the ice will be in popularity where saltwater fly fishing is today Lenny Currow is telling me back at the lodge, where we have retired for lunch after a morning of working over a few small ponds in this remote county. The thing about it is, its the next logical step, he tells me as he rubs his red hands together before a cozy fire. You fly fish the streams in spring, then the salt water all autumn. Why not the ice all winter?
Lenny is not alone in his enthusiasm. From every sign, fly fishing the ice is preparing for the same kind of groundswell that saltwater fly fishing has gotten in the last few years, and trout fishing got after the release of A River Runs Through It in 1992. Manhattan now boasts two separate clinics giving lessons to would be fly-icers, and tackle shops all over the East Coast are starting to stock folding ice saws in their fly rod section. Orvis is even bringing out a solid brass ice drill with leather handles for next season, for those who like to keep the traditional elegance of fly fishing as part of the new sport, says Linus Caldstone, Orviss East Coast spokesperson.
Ice saws and drills are not the only new tools that the sport requires. De-icers, hand warmers, waders with cleats, ice axes, and the strangest selection of flies that youve ever seen round out the fly-icers gear. Some of these things are part of the traditional kit of the ice fisherman, those staunch, retirement age die-hards who crouch in custom-insulated outhouses over a hole in the ice breathing kerosene fumes and catching a few sluggish fish while their wives join support groups (or so Ive always thought).
That was for the last generation, fly-icing is for the new! Lenny asserts, his slight frame shivering despite the heavy parka and mad bombers hat he has fortified himself with for our return to Ox Toe. Why should you sit around and freeze your tail off for a few fish? There isnt much sport in that compared to this. Besides, were out here moving around! So you mean, I ask, the activity keeps you warmer than you would be when ice fishing? Well, no. He admits. I mean, they have little houses and everything. But they tend to put on a lot of weight from all the beer and rich food. Lennys final words are muffled by a snowdrift that he has dislodged from an overhead branch with an errant cast. There are several moments of hopping (of the snow-down-my-back variety), accompanied by cussing (same variety, but even more so).
Curls of ice are flying from Lennys flexing line as he pumps the rod forward and back, forward and back. Ice settles on his hat and into his slightly droopy mustache, which he grew, he tells me, to help him keep warm while he fly-ices. Thirty-five feet in front of Lenny, there is a hole in the ice which I helped him make with a folding ice saw and an ice drill (plastic handled). It took us about twenty minutes to cut, and now Lenny is trying to drop his fly, which looks like a quarter inch hex nut painted blaze orange, into the hole before the water skims over. He has false-casted ten or twelve times, but the line is stiff, and falls like a swooning cobra to the right or left each time he lets the cast go, rather than unfurling into the hole. This is half the sport right here - mastering the frozen loop cast. This fly is made out of steel, which you need to turn the line over, and also to bust through the skim ice. Very difficult to cast a steel fly.
Boring or sawing a hole in the ice and casting to it are just two of the fly fishing methods that are at the disposal of the knowledgeable iceman (as they sometimes are known). There are also ways of fishing that involve finding natural holes, or faults in the ice, and casting to them, or using a brazier fly, which is a bronze fly that holds a small lump of coal, which you false cast over the same spot on the ice until a hole is melted. That ones a lot harder than this. Lenny tells me, still throwing beautiful, crackling arcs of frozen line through the sharply cold air. I mean this is really hard, he says through chattering teeth, but thats probably impossible, and when the hole is finally melted, there better be a fish there. The equipment is beautiful, though, he muses.
On my way up to North County to join Lenny at his Icy-Bug Lodge, I stopped in at a meeting of the Still Ice Fly Fishermens Association (STIFFA), which meets in a pine-panelled VFW lodge in Elkmount, NY, not far from the heart of traditional Eastern fly fishing in America. There I met Bruce Van Patton, the founder and president of STIFFA, and one of the grand old men of the sport. Last Friday, we had over two hundred people crammed in here - people who two years ago had hardly heard of fishing. Why we had one lawyer in here, wouldnt so much as take off his coat or eat a donut. But you can bet he hung on every word I said about fly-icing.
From Bruce I learn that while fly-icing may have been rediscovered by low-landers and country folk alike in just the last few years, there is plenty of evidence that the sport has roots that go back at least one hundred years, and perhaps much further. It likely started as a method of fishing employed by the Iroquois when the ice was too thick to fish from shore, but not thick enough to walk on.
My Daddy first learned it from a few old-timer Indians. Bruce continues. They would get fish from the holes out in the middle of the ice by flipping line out with a willow branch. They were real artists at it, and could feed their whole family with a good trip. This is a great sport! In fact, Ive heard that with an orange macaw feather, you can tie a carrot pattern on a number 8 hook and fish for snow hares. This catches me by surprise, and I try to see if Bruce was pulling my leg, or maybe plain out of his mind. Wouldnt that be against the law? I ask, and in what way does it constitute fishing? Well, I would never do it, Bruce tells me somewhat defensively, but if the snow hares are out on the pond I guess it would be fishing. You know, its an awful long winter.
This is not the first hint I have gotten that ice fly fishing is not always limited to fish, but sometimes extends to terrestrial creatures as well. Oh, it would be strictly illegal. Senior Game Warden Sandy Carter tells me over steaming coffee at the Northern County Park Service Building when I follow up on this strange new lead. But we have heard rumors, and personally, I came across a few flies tied in carrot, and even radish patterns last spring. He leans back and strokes the head of a stuffed badger which is part of a diorama behind his desk, obviously choosing his words carefully. Of course, I dont believe the stories about fly fishing for bear. Makes no sense - where would you get strong enough line? Now that seems crazy to me.
The sun is falling into the bare treetops across Ox Toe Pond as Lenny and I decide to call it a day. We are cold enough to talk very little, each perhaps relishing the private contentment of a good days sport, or trying not to let our teeth chatter. It has been a mixed day for Lenny. Although the five holes we cut contained no fish, he did cast successfully on a number of occasions, and thinks he may have gotten a bite. This isnt Florida, he offers with a toothy, shivery grin, but we can still fly fish if we want to, right?
Back at the Icy-Bug, as we let our boots thaw before the fire, Lenny tells me that our outing was typical, demonstrating both the best and worst aspects of the sport. At least the line didnt crack today, he points out, And no one fell in. Im pretty sure that bite I got was big too - probably a brownie, maybe trophy size. As for me, I have to content myself with the few beautiful casts I got to see Lenny unfurl into the ice hole. My luck was somewhat worse; I lost seven flies and never got one into the water. Guess I need practice down at the farm pond next year. Oh yeah, there will be a next year for me. I guess you can call me an brand new iceman.
Are Lenny Currow and Bruce Van Patton really onto the next big thing, or is fly fishing the ice just another passing fad, like scuba skeet or squirrel roping ? (I admit, this old cowboy fell for both.) It seems like a contender to me, despite the cold and the difficulty. One day spent out on a pond, watching the reflection of clouds glide across the surface with the rhythm of casting ringing in you ears can be a strong persuader. One day spent in a goose down fly vest with line chips raining down you back can also nearly freeze you, too. But when the line drops like a frozen boa constrictor, and the steel fly makes it into the hole, which hasnt frozen over, and the beer hasnt frozen yet either, fly fishing the ice can seem like a pretty cool idea.

Why GM's Ewanick is excited by new Chevy campaign
NEW YORK -- General Motors marketing boss Joel Ewanick really likes a new Chevrolet advertising campaign that features the antics of a fictional staff at a Chevrolet dealership.
How much?
"We think there's a TV show in this. I kid you not," Ewanick said in an interview on the sidelines of the auto show here. "We've talked about turning this into an actual show because we've got so much material."
Chevrolet debuted the campaign dubbed "Under the Blue Arch" last month (for the story, click here). The commercials feature an ensemble cast -- from a former-radio-host-turned-salesman to an over-eager rookie -- mostly making fun of one another and goofing off. All the spots are set in a sparkling new Chevy dealership.
Ewanick's musings about a TV show don't seem so far-fetched when you consider that the commercial's creator is Randall Einhorn, who has directed episodes of "The Office," "Parks & Recreation" and "Modern Family."
Ewanick says the commercials convey Chevy dealerships as approachable and friendly. He sees the campaign as a platform that can humorously package a wide range of advertising messages, from the fuel efficiency of the Chevy Cruze to trumpeting Chevy Truck Month in more subtle way.
More than 80 local dealer marketing associations are running the spots, which is far more than the usual number that use Chevy's corporate ads rather than their own content, Ewanick says.
"Dealers are all in," he says. "They love this campaign."
Whether or not it spins off a TV series, one thing is certain: You'll be seeing plenty more of it.
"It's got legs," Ewanick says. "We've just scratched the surface."

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things
on Television
Wearing a porkpie hat, wild plaid jacket and a bow
tie, Uncle Floyd tinkled the ivory of his upright piano; sang such
classics as "Deep in the Heart of Jersey" and told burlesque style
jokes with the assistance of his cute hand puppet, Oogie (a Kukla
A typical Uncle Floyd joke read: "What was Louis the
XIV chiefly important for?" Answer: "Louis XV." Ba-da-boom!
program enjoyed by both children and adults, originally had a
"Peanut Gallery" type audience but was replaced by the off camera
jeers of his stage crew and a supporting staff of Bowery Boylike
zanies. Other regular features on the show included displaying art
work sent by the home viewers and performing silly comedy sketches.
Floyd Vivino created the Uncle Floyd character out of necessity.
Needing $125 for Christmas presents, Vivino, a standup comedian,
pitched an idea for a children's show to a local cable TV station.
He got the job, the money and became a sort of cult hero ever since
he first began in Oakland, NJ in 1974.
According to an E-Mail sent
by Mugsy who played Captain Fork, Neil Yuck, Bruce Stringbean, etc
and was a chief writer on the show, the broadcast history of UNCLE
FLOYD SHOW follows:
"The showed moved to UHF broadcast TV on Channel 68 in West Orange
and then on WNBC-TV (NYC Channel 4) and national syndication on the
NBC-TV owned and operated stations (including NYC, Philly,
Cleveland, San Diego, as well as Boston, Texas, Minneapolis, St Paul
and a few other national outlets in 1982. From 1983-1986 the show
was shown on the 4 NJ PBS stations viewable in NJ, NY Pa and Del. As
of 1987 his program was carried on a local New Jersey cable network.
I still get email from all over the country (and world) thanks to
the internet from old time fans. These days Floyd still appears in
movies and TV productions and performs live at his nightclub in NJ
and all over the tri state area." [Thanks Mugsy for the update].
TRIVIA NOTE: On the sitcom A DATE WITH JUDY/ABC/1951-52 another Oogie character named Ogden "Oogie" Pringle played by Jimmie Sommer
appeared as Judy's goofy boyfriend.

Yesterday while hiking along an old logging trail listening to the chatter of 2 of my grand kids and the splash of my grandson's thrown rocks in the bubbling creek below I saw the darting movement of what could only be a turkey up ahead of us. I commanded turkey dog Vic into sneak mode, getting the kids to quiet down was no small feat but they did on the promise of seeing a wild turkey.
We reached the 100 yards to where the turkey had disappeared less than totally stealthy. The quivering of Vic's legs and tail certainly indicated the turkey was near, the electricity of excitement crackled through the air between the kids and dog. I whispered to my grandson tell Vic to "Get em up Vic; TURKEY!" Vic launched charging uphill, but I had seen the turkey go down towards the creek. The sudden chain cackling, putting and large wings beats certainly proved Vic knew more than me at that moment. He busted a big flock; turkeys ran by us, flew overhead and some landed in trees all around us; the kid's eyes bulged with excitement as they gleefully giggled in delight.
Then it was quiet even the creek seemed to stop for a moment, the kid's mouths were agape with no sounds and their wide eyes darting around to catch another glimpse of a turkey.
Breaking the silence in a trembling whisper my grandson says "what now grandpa?"
I told him to watch and listen this is what grandpa does when hunting-"kee, kee, yelp, yelp, yelp yelp"
Turkey talk exploded everywhere around us, we stayed and listened for about half hour as the turkeys regrouped.
My 9 year old grandson begged me to take him hunting with me this fall, he even promised to carry the turkey for me; of course I readily agreed to take them both.
I have no doubt kids, fall turkeys and a turkey dog go together.

1. Healthcare is too expensive
2. Malpractice insurance is too high
3. Insurance companies are crooked
4. Most thing run by the government don't turn out well
I have a bit of a different take on the US Healthcare system, simply because I'm 1) Dual Citizen (Canada and US) and have doctors in my immediate family that practice in the US, others who practice in Canada. I worked for a pediatrician after college, doing his medical billing at his private practice (two offices). I assisted in the book keeping of both my mother (orthodontist) and father (pediatric dentist/oral surgeon). I also worked (albeit incredibly brief) as an unlicensed attorney for two former doctors-turned-lawyers who now handle practice management. I've seen it all, and have been fortunate enough to become exposed to it all. (This wasn't to brag, but to shed some light on my background and give some insight as to my "credentials")
Regardless - it's simple. I heard it growing up, and I've learned it myself. Every single place I go, it's the same problem.
Insurance companies. The US needs insurance reform. We had tort reform in Florida to stop the insane medical malpractice lawsuits from happening, we now need a federal insurance reform. These companies are robbing customers (AND DOCTORS) blind. Private practice doctors know all too well. Their fee schedules (a listing from their insurance company, assuming they are on their plans, that provides a detailed list of reimbursements for each action) are a joke. You can bill at that number, but you better believe that systematically there will be rejections simply because company policy dictates there be. So now a doctor, a man that these insurance companies ALL agree is worth roughly $400-$1500 an hour (depending what type of doctor and his specialty) has to take his time (or pay someone to do it, but most successful private practice doctors I've interacted with keep a fairly strong hold on their finances)
and fill these out. Guess what happens most of the time?
"While Cigna/BCBS/United has received your certified letter of appeal with regards to XXXX, we currently will offer XXXX (typically 60-70% of the fee schedule)" because they hope the doctor will look at this $150-300 difference and say you know what? It's not worth my time. I'll take it.
Don't believe me? Go to any doctor that is private practice in a system of preventative care. Pediatrician, Dentist, Dermatologist, etc. Go there, and don't tell them you have insurance just yet (although a front desk person worth their job will immediately ask to see if you're a fee for service or insured)
Ask them if you can get a pricing on simple items (new patient exam, is what they are typically known as). Guess what you'll get? Their fee schedule prices. The prices they charge the insurance company. Now tell them you're a fee for service (i.e. cash) customer. Know what you'll get? The bottom dollar price. If he isn't giving a discount, then you're doctor is incredibly wealthy and likely does not only NOT need you as a patient, but will likely not give you the benefit of "small town doctor" type stuff. This discount is massive. As in 50% massive. That's why this happens. No haggling with the insurance companies, the doctor knows exactly what's happening at the moment, and it's cash in his hand.
It's why a large majority of the snowbirds from Canada pay out of pocket for their expenses, medically, while retaining the health care from Canada. Insurance only makes sense, from a fiscal point of view, for incredibly large life threatening problems. Otherwise, these preventative care measures are absolutely lining the pockets of insurance companies at the expense of the health and well-being of others. It's disturbing to me. It's disturbing to most doctors. Do the doctors I know of like "Obamacare"? Not really. Do they like the current system? The ones who still genuinely care about their patients/general well being of the public do.
Just don't ask my dad what he thinks, because he was a large scale medicaid provider for a very long time, and he's now ruined as a result. People simply don't take care of themselves, and it's both disgusting and sad. There has to be some degree of accountability but when you're being handed free things, sometimes it slips through the cracks. Look at medicare. People will gladly allow their kids to sip on soda all night long, after countless urging by a doctor to stop, simply because "Oh well I'll just take him to the doctor and he'll fix him up. WHAT YOU MEAN MEDICAID WON'T PAY FOR IT JUST BECAUSE ITS THE THIRD VISIT THIS MONTH!?" We have to put up with those people, and reward them, for the sake of those who aren't like this but simply need a helping hand. Nobody should avoid going to a doctor because they can't afford it. That, to me, is fundamentally wrong.
Politics rant: Just cut the bull****, quit spending billions of dollars, and legalize marijuana. Tax it like cigarettes. HEAVILY. 35-40% heavy. Do you have any idea the amount of money we could not only inject into our government, but also cut out flat out irresponsible spending practices? The U.S. spends over SIX BILLION DOLLARS a year to house people who have been convicted of nothing more than possession of marijuana. That's ****ing ridiculous.
For a prime example, look at The Netherlands. They have a private care hospital, and a free hospital. Majority of the free hospital funding comes from taxing the head shops and coffee shops. And their services are great. The wait is a bit, but you're still receiving care. I fell off my bike while studying over in Amsterdam, and hurt my wrist. 3 hours later, at the cost of ZERO dollars, I was fixed up. Without even being a citizen.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I have a lot of experience in this field (as previously mentioned) and I'm incredibly passionate about it.
As others have pointed out, it doesn't go nearly far enough but it's a necessary step in the right direction.
Once it's fully implemented it will become more popular, and bust the 50% approval rating. It was always hilarious the Republicans thought they could make this a tipping point issue when the approval number was not far below 50/50 to begin with. Conservatives have been conveniently skewing polls for years, not months. Relying on fear, the typical tired game plan.
Alan Grayson's summary of the GOP health care plan is exponentially more accurate than the typical Republican's description of Obamacare.

I just got a call from my Eukanuba sales rep that they are going to be increasing the cost per bag by $7 starting October 1st - a 16% increase.
Add this to the recent discontinuation of the buy 20 bags, get two free and it looks like the cost of feeding Eukanuba just went up over 25% in the last three months.
Needless to say I will not be tolerating this increase and will be looking at other options.........so...........what other quality foods are out there and what are you currently paying for them?

Comings and Goings is a blog written by Theology, Formation, and Evangelism Director Charles B. "Chip" Hardwick as he travels throughout the church. God is on the move out and about in the world, working to redeem all things in Jesus Christ. As we join this mission, by the power of the Spirit we see God on the move. This blog contains glimpses of how Chip finds this to be true in his comings and goings.
You can follow Chip on twitter (@chiphardwick) or find him on Facebook (Chip Hardwick).
One of the most interesting conversations I had there revolved around the marriage study that the General Assembly has asked my colleagues in the Office of Theology and Worship to prepare. In order to make sure that the study is as effective and as faithful as it can be, thirteen churches are pre-testing the study, and Hopewell is one of them.

I wish I was...
I love this tour and I love my friends. Only 10 more shows to go... so far, they've been some of the most exciting shows we've ever played. 5... 6 years in? I love it.
Can't lie... I can't wait to spend the holidays with my family. I'm really anxious to see what's coming next. After this year. After we spend a month at home... meeting the yearly quota of "normal" time. I don't even care to be off the job anymore. I enjoy the work. As if I can even be called work. I like the distraction. Otherwise I find all this extra time to kill, sitting around on my ass watching the internet. The internet is boring.
I want to get out there and do something. Every day. Even if it's sleeping in. Anything except for sitting in front of a 13" screen. Some people have 17" screens now... hooray for them? So, if you're sitting there reading me. Stop. I'm boring. Go check out something fun.

Sad news. It's good that he likely wasn't despondent over being out of the game, since he had the coaching gig. I hope his family finds some peace over the loss.
Sad news. It's good that he likely wasn't despondent over being out of the game, since he had the coaching gig. I hope his family finds some peace over the loss.
I just read this on Yahoo and the first thing I thought about were all the concussions he had, wondering if it could be similar for him to what so many NFL players have suffered with.
I never saw a player put his body in the game as much as Freel did.
His suicide is tragic mostly because of how this sort of thing impacts his wife, daughter and other family who are left with so many questions and the undeniable pain that a suicide inflicts on each day after it is done.
"Sometimes, it's not the sexiest moves that put you over the top," Krivsky said. "It's a series of transactions that help you get there."
Tragic news. Always enjoyed watching him play. He was one of those versatile players you hoped might somehow make his way back to the Reds bench someday. I had lost track of him and wondered what he was doing just this week. Very sad to hear at what should be a joyous time. Hope he finds peace and his family find comfort.
He was on record saying he'd probably suffered 9 or 10 concussions in his life.
Makes you wonder.
Just horrible news. RIP #6
Ryan Freel was a bright spot on some bad Reds ballclubs. Even when the Reds weren't winning, players like Freel made the Reds worth watching every night. RIP Ryan.
Freel often talked about his imaginary friend "Farney". I always took it as a joke, but now I wonder if it wasn't something deeper.
RIP Ryan Freel.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

A memory from many years ago came back the other day when I was in Washington, D.C., doing a series of seminars.
I went by the NBC Studios, WRC Television, on Nebraska Avenue, in the northern part of the District. I wanted to share with you what happened there in 1966, when I was 19 years old.
My family had immigrated from Israel in 1956. Ten years after that, when I had just graduated from high school, I was very patriotic. I wanted to come to Washington, see the nation's Capitol, and meet the congressmen and senators from my state of Oklahoma.
I had worked in a small radio station outside of Tulsa during June and July in that summer of 1966 and that was the money I used to travel to Washington.
I wasn't old enough to rent a car, so I rented a moped to get around the Capitol. Can you imagine riding around Washington in a moped? It was a lot of fun.
So, I rode my moped up to WRC Television, the NBC station in Washington. I wanted to meet a certain broadcaster that worked there. I parked my moped outside the door of the station and told the receptionist: "I've come all the way from Oklahoma to meet _______."
She obviously saw my mode of transportation and may have felt sorry for me. She said, "Wait just a moment." She walked down the hall, came back a couple of minutes later, and said: "Follow me."
So, I followed her and we went down the hall into a big studio. The gentleman I wanted to meet was just concluding his nationwide broadcast. As he finished, he came over to us and the receptionist spoke with him for a moment.
He then came over to me and said, "I understand you've come all the way from Oklahoma to meet me." I said, "Yes, I have and I am honored." He suggested we go down to his office.
As we walked that way, there was a glass partition. Right behind the glass there was a man sitting at a desk. He said, "That man will be famous one day." That man was Willard Scott.
We went down to the gentleman's office and I will never forget the fact that he spent 45 minutes talking with me and making me feel important. That gentleman was David Brinkley of the Huntley-Brinkley Report, the NBC Nightly News program that was the top evening newscast in the nation in the 60′s.
When David Brinkley passed away I was so sad because I will never forget how he was to me in 1966 in Washington, D.C. By the way, on his office door he had a sign that read: "The Brinkley-Huntley Report". I thought that was so funny.
The point here is: What can you and I do to make someone feel important? Everyone wants to feel important. David Brinkley made me feel important when I was 19 years old and I will never forget it.
We all have 4 initials on our forehead: MMFI. Those stand for Make Me Feel Important.
What kind of good feelings can we broadcast to make someone else feel important today?
A Feel Important Affirmation
I make other people feel important.

text: I was doing some pedigree research and clicked on a link to a website for one of the dogs. The bio on this dog said he died from Degenerative Myelopathy. He died only a few years ago. I have no idea what testing was done to diagnose the dog. I'm wondering how accurate a diagnosis of DM in a Labrador is. Does DM often go undiagnosed in labs? Does it present in Labs differently or commonly later than other breeds it is more prevalent? I've read some things on the DDC website that offers DM testing and info on the OFA website. It seems inheritance is simple, recessive (like eic) and is not all that common in Labs according to the current statistics. If this dog was accurately diagnosed and was affected by DM, his sire had to be at least a carrier, correct?His sire was one of the most prolifically bred Labs in history. Not sure if this is common knowledge and I just missed it. But I don't see many testing for DM in Labs and of this dog's sire was a carrier, many of us are likely to have carriers.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assings permanent Omontys-specific billing code to help dialysis organizations get streamlined reimbursement
Singapore: Affymax and Takeda Pharmaceuticals, US, announced that the J-code assigned by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for Omontys (peginesatide) injection is now effective. The permanent Omontys-specific billing code, J0890, will continue to provide for streamlined reimbursement for dialysis organizations prescribing the drug.
Omontys is the only once-monthly erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) for anemia available to the adult dialysis patient population with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the US.
"We believe that the J-code complements our efforts to make this once-monthly therapy broadly available to the dialysis community, and importantly, to appropriate patients. We are excited by the strong level of interest in the dialysis community for Omontys," said Mr John Orwin, chief executive officer, Affymax.
According to Mr Nicole Mowad-Nassar, vice president, marketing, Takeda, "We are pleased to have an effective J-code in place approximately nine months following the approval of Omontys."
Omontys was approved by the US FDA on March 27, 2012, for the treatment of anemia due to CKD in adult patients on dialysis. Omontys is not indicated and is not recommended for use in patients with CKD, who are not on dialysis; who are receiving treatment for cancer and whose anemia is not due to CKD, or as a substitute for red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in patients who require immediate correction of anemia. Omontys has not been shown to improve symptoms, physical functioning, or health-related quality of life.

Just a thought ...
So what is the build? Would you agree its a set of values x1, x2, x3 .... that produces additional value Y1, Y2... /and so on/
thanks to "synergy" among xs? Thus it makes character stronger as Ys occurs?
But then the characters that are no build are naturally not balanced against the builds.. Should be "no builds" balanced to each other? Maybe that is important for the newbie level players.
How about balancing the system with builds possible. Should then be all the builds identified and make the balancing to each other? Even if done (caping Ys or make them logaritmic - artificially or by perfect design).Would not be the fun of experimenting and searching the build worn off?
I think partially yes, but what could it brought is character build design to counter the other build minimasing its Ys or so. Is it necessary to make this always possible (each build have their counter) to make the creation of the build conditioned by some weak Xs?

Once across the bridge, you are presented with something akin to the disorienting world of the carnival fun house. Along the main street, expensive restaurants and fancy home furnishings stores battle for space with the hardware store, the John Deere dealership, and the gas station.
Built as a seaside get-away by residents of a town a few miles inland, La Barra has a core of non-descript buildings typical of a working-class beach town. Later, the great ocean waves that crash on La Barra's beaches brought surfers and their casual lifestyle.
And finally, as Punta became more popular and expensive, it spilled over into La Barra.
The beauty of the beaches and the proximity to Punta overcame the humble beginnings, and the result is resort funk.
We are happy to be here in the off-season when La Barra is sleepier. Our new Uruguayan friends, Silvia and Jorge, treated us to lunch at a restaurant named Flo on the shabby chic jumble of the main street.

I have always valued the relationships I have with my family and those true friends who are so hard to find in this cruel world today!!
May you have many more new relationships develop in time!!

Rejoicing with you that you are all home and not in the hospital! Praying for all of you as always and believing God for His promise of healing. Thankful for the relationship of blogging friends...truly a blessing.

What a wonderful post! My favorite relationships consist of my family. My family is always there, no matter how mad we may get at each other. When I got divorced, they were all there to help support me. They still are. My sister babysits for me while I work. My closest friend at work is also a Godsend. Although she is 20 years younger than me, we have so much in common. She has a great head on her shoulders. We spend time together outside of work going out to lunch or dinner. They have us over to play video games with my kids and spend quality time together. My blog is loaded with the love of my family.

I am thankful for a relationship that developed from a "stranger" listening to God's voice and approaching me about being a prayer partner for me, during my husbands first deployment to Iraq. It's hard to explain, but this person approached me out of the blue and asked if she could call me. She followed up on that and called,that began a wonderful relationship built on prayer. She called every night and we prayed together-mostly she prayed for me and listened to my concerns and the desires of my heart. She is without a doubt one of the most ispirational people in my life. The relationship devleoped into a friendship and her family reached out to mine on many occasions. We are now separated by many miles but our relationship continues. It is she who brought me to know you and your precious family. Once again she has taught me invaluable lessons about serving our God and others.

I really enjoyed this post because it is SO true and something I learned on my first volunteer trip in the DR. For me, aside from close family and friends, my most important relationships are with kids I met when I was volunteering abroad. A little angel who attends a school I helped build in the DR... my sponsor child in Ethiopia who I will be meeting in one month. And now, a little 3 year old boy whose family just came as refugees from Haiti.. he has stolen my heart!!

My husband (a Navy reservist) was deployed to Iraq 4 months after we returned from Guatemala with our son. It was a hard time, in which our burden was lightened by a wonderful couple. They cried with me when he left and called, visited and invited us to their house for dinner frequently. I never realized that they loved us so much...silly me. Jacob views them as "grandparents". Our love for each other has grown tremendously since.

Yes, you are so right! Relationships are very, very important! I know for me they have been my greatest joys. Thanks for this.

Spicy chicken chili flavored with fire roasted tomatoes, beer and a hint of chocolate.
Mole sauce is a rich, spicy and slightly sweet Mexican sauce. The word "mole" (MOH lay) comes from the Aztec word "molli," meaning concoction or sauce. Traditionally, it's a very complex tomato-based sauce with dozens of ingredients that varies by region. Popular versions include chiles, chocolate and nuts.
For a deeper more complex flavor use stout beer in place of the lager.

At Judges Tribute Event, Justice O'Connor Commends Southwestern Trailblazers on the Bench, Advocates for More Civics Education
Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the nation's highest court, delivered the keynote speech at Southwestern's Judges Tribute Dinner on February 24 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel.
In addressing the audience of more than 700 Southwestern alumni, judicial officers, legal community leaders and elected officials, Justice O'Connor commended the law school for producing many trailblazers in the judiciary, including several of the first minorities and women to serve in state and federal judicial posts.
Justice O'Connor also took the opportunity to speak about the intersection of education and the judiciary. Commenting that although Americans' willingness to follow the courts has endured, which is important, she is uneasy about the future. "We are in a difficult juncture in our history," she said. "This is a time of very divisive political discourse.... We have to examine and maybe recast our national discussion about judges and courts into something more constructive than just hurling labels such as 'activist judges.' The continuing strength and health of our democracy depends on an appreciation of the fact that we have a fair and impartial judiciary."
In looking to the future, Justice O'Connor is also very concerned that young people are not getting the basic instruction in civics that is essential to understanding how government works. And when civics is taught, students often rate it as one of their least favorite topics.
Justice O'Connor wants students to learn civics to solve problems and to make it a part of their daily lives, which is why she spearheaded the effort to create iCivics, a website with lesson plans, social networking and games to teach the subject in an engaging, interactive and thoroughly modern way. For example, a game called "Do I have a right?" allows users to play lawyers who determine their clients' constitutional rights.
So far, the response to the website has exceeded her expectations. "I'm an unlikely ambassador for social media," Justice O'Connor said. "I don't' use that stuff, but teaching civics is vital.... The next generation is inheriting a lot of challenges, and to tackle those challenges, they have to be engaged citizens and understand the political process.... This is one way we hope to pass on that knowledge."

Interested in transferring? Take a quick peak at some of these transferring misconceptions. Transferring is easy, and we are here to help. If your question isn't answered here, contact an advisor.
Your grades always matter. Most schools require a minimum GPA as part of the transfer admission process, and most schools will not accept credits with grades less than a C.
It depends on what kind of financial aid you have. Merit based scholarships usually do not transfer, but student loans usually do. If financial aid plays a role in your ability to transfer, talk with your transfer specialist to find out about any unique scholarships that you may qualify for or visit our scholarships page for additional monetary assistance.
With the right planning and assistance, you can graduate in the same amount of time as someone who started at a university. Our university partnerships were created to make transferring easy. To make sure you stay on track, consult the AZ Transfer website and visit your transfer specialist frequently.
Most community college credits are designed to transfer to colleges and universities. However, transferability and applicability are two different things. A university may accept your credits, but if some courses are not applicable to your degree program, they may be transferred as elective credits. To make sure the classes you take at MCC transfer into your degree program, consult the Course Equivalency Guide and speak with a transfer specialist.
Yes and no. Most transfer students want to finish their degree as quickly as possible — but that doesn't mean there isn't a reason to take classes that may not be part of your major requirements. Sometimes it is good to take a class (or two, or three!) just to help you narrow your interests, decide on a career path, enrich your personal life, or increase your work skills. As a bonus, they just might count as elective credit toward your degree.
You are not alone! Transferring to a new school may seem daunting, but there are many students who transfer. 44% of students at MCC plan to transfer their credits to a 4-year school! Make sure to attend student orientation, join groups and clubs on campus, and find any transfer support groups on campus.
Yes. You can transfer credits whenever you want, but if you are interested in getting a bachelor's degree, it is most cost-effective to earn as many credits as you can at MCC before transferring.
No. Each college and university has different entrance requirements. Depending on your major, you may have additional entrance requirements specific to that major. Talk to a transfer specialist to learn what you need to apply.
Each of our 40 partner institutions is different. Location, price, available majors, and offered scholarships are some of the considerations that may narrow down which school is the best fit for you. To better select which college or university may be the best for you- compare each college with this College Board tool.

Shining Star: Pullman's Justin Cillay
PULLMAN, Wash. - After finishing 1-9 a year ago, the Pullman High School football team adopted the motto of "worst to first" and did just that, capturing the GNL title.
"You know we came into this year, and we were like, 'this is the year we're going to turn it around, and we're going to have a great year,' and so ever since then, we've been kind of like that," says senior quarterback Justin Cillay.
Thanks to a steller senior campain, Cillay has moved the Greyhounds out of the basement and into the 2A bracket.
"He's very good all-around," says head coach Dan Lucier. "He throws the ball very well, he's probably the biggest part of our run game."
Almost operating like a surgeon at times, which makes perfect sense for a three-sport athlete who also finds time to volunteer at the local hospital.
"I kind of want to go into medicine, so I'm just getting a feel for that, volunteering in the ER, seeing how that goes," says the 3.92 GPA student.
Whether it's football or medicine, Cillay has the qualities to make those around him better.
"He's a great leader, he leads by example and has a great attitude, and he's just a guy that can make things happen when they need to happen," says Lucier.
Celebrating a league title? Not what needs to happen, according to Cillay. Instead, he has his eyes on whats next for the Greyhounds.
"Yeah it was fun, but we still have work to do. We still have to come out here and work hard everyday. Just keep doing the same thing we've been doing for the rest of the season."
Which Cillay hopes is four more games and four more wins.Shining Star: Pullman's Justin Cillay


text: I think Fairy Tail deserves a 10/10. I believe this because to me, it's great all around. I love the story arks, the characters personalities, the ending songs, the opening songs, and the art. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of the most recent story ark, I understand that they have to have something to show us while the manga gets further in the story line. Hell, the way I see it is that it will give me more time to get excited when the anime finally does get back on track ! I'd rather have something new in Fairy Tail then nothing at all! I'm really looking forward to the Grand Magic Tournament!See full review

I just went over to my setup with my Republic Gunship (to attach the turret pod), it's pretty much my only purely Ep 2 setup. I get in there, and first I notice that my POTJ preview Clone Trooper's feet has completely stuck to the floor and footpegs he's on. As I'm working this out, I look over and see Saga Arena Escape Padme and her torso is FULLY yellowed, horribly so in fact. Then I look behind her and the Clone Wars realistic line Clone Trooper's torso is also yellow!
I have a couple more of those Clones handy, and 1 of them has also got his torso yellowing, while the 3rd barely has it starting. Due to the fact that the less yellow clones aren't in the Gunship, I can only conclude that the gunship itself is what's turning them yellow. Maybe it's a coincidence, but it's not the sun because there's another clone in there facing the lighter side of the room who doesn't have yellowing, and the yellow figures have it evenly.
I guess this was bound to happen. I wonder if in another 5 years we'll be noticing the same problem with Ep 3 and The Clone Wars figures as well.

Fears about the debt of Eurozone countries and the difficulties about the agreement on US government borrowing (agreed on Sunday 31 July) dominated stock markets in the week 25-29 July. On the main financial markets prices fell by an average of 3%, with a fall of 5.3% in Milan due to the high incidence of bank shares: this was also the worse-performing sector in Europe as a whole (-5%).
Sales in the auto&parts sector (-4.8%) despite the good results in the 2Q reporting season, already anticipated in full by stock markets.
Pirelli closed the week at € 7.24 outperforming the Milan stock market (+5pp), the sector index (+4.7pp) and its main peers (+7.6pp v. Michelin, +3.9pp v. Continental, +6.2pp v. Nokian). The share price was sustained by the agreement on Russia and the results of 2Q 2011, which exceeded market expectations. According to Intermonte, the agreement reached on 25 July between Pirelli, Russian Technology and Sibur will allow Pirelli to immediately enter a high profitability market. The analysts comments about Pirelli's results were positive: "an excellent quarter" demonstrating the solid positioning of the business and high pricing power. There were six upgrades in the TP for the share: Banca IMI (€8.92 to €9.7), Banca Aletti (from €8.50 to €9.50), Exane (from €9.70 to €10), Banca Leonardo (from €8.2 to €10.1), Axia (from €8.2 to €9.0) and Chevreux (€8.0 to €8.20). The mean consensus TP is 8.80€ with BUY recommendations from 92% of brokers.

Makes 18 cups
This is the recipe to think about if you are going to a party—it would make a great gift instead of a bottle of wine. I recently prepared this as a party favor for a luncheon of 750 women, and they loved it. Even more note-worthy: I still loved it after making such a huge batch! That says a lot. The combination of sweet and spicy in the popcorn is what makes it different from anything else you've tasted.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanuts, coconut milk, brown sugar, kaffir lime leaf, salt, and reshampatti. Put the mixture in a nonstick sauté pan and cook over high heat without stirring until the nuts have started to brown and toast, about 2 minutes. Then stir, and continue to cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until peanuts have browned. (The nuts will brown unevenly and the pan may smoke from the coconut milk, but it is all okay if you are stirring continuously.)
Transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside to cool. The nuts will be somewhat moist at this point but will crisp as they cool.
Once the nuts are cool, break them up and set aside until it's time to add them to the caramel popcorn. (If you're not using right away, store in an airtight container at room temperature.)
Heat the oven to 250°F. Liberally spray an extra-large mixing bowl (not plastic) with olive oil spray.
Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven, stirring it once or twice, until it is golden, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool, leaving the oven on.
Put the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot, add the corn kernels, and set over medium-high heat. Cover, and shake the pot occasionally until the popping begins, about 5 minutes. Once the popping starts, shake the pot continuously until the popping slows down dramatically, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, but continue shaking it until the popping stops entirely. Dump the popcorn into the prepared mixing bowl, trying not to let any unpopped kernels fall into the bowl. Add the toasted coconut and the candied peanuts.
Before beginning the caramel process, spray a rubber spatula, a wooden spoon, and 2 cookie sheets liberally with olive oil spray.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with the oil-sprayed spatula, until the butter is melted. Continue cooking, stirring constantly and being careful not to splatter the hot caramel, until the mixture thickens and a candy thermometer registers 255°F, about 7 minutes. (If you do not have a candy thermometer, you will know it is ready when the bubbles of the mixture get noticeably larger and slower.) Remove from the heat. Add the salt, baking soda, curry leaf, cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, turmeric, mace, paprika, cayenne, and cinnamon. Stir quickly to incorporate, and then immediately pour the caramel over the popcorn mixture. Stir with the wooden spoon until all of the popcorn is well coated.
Pour the mixture onto the oiled cookie sheets and spread it out evenly. Bake for 1 hour, stirring it every 20 minutes to keep it from burning.
Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and let the popcorn cool to room temperature. The popcorn will crisp as it cools.
Once it is cool, you can serve the popcorn immediately.
If you do not serve immediately, you can package the caramel popcorn in airtight bags for storage. It will keep well for 4 days.

Southern forests represent an important potential energy resource for heat, power, and electricity. Wood is not a resource that will be appropriate for every community, nor will the same sources of wood be available to every community. But many communities and industries already use wood, and the potential for others to use woody biomass for energy is significant. There is a great deal to learn about the many ways people are using wood for energy in the South.
The Wood to Energy Outreach Program developed a number of fact sheets, case studies, and community economic profiles. Community leaders and citizens can use this information as they explore the possibility of using wood for heat, power, and electricity. This community economic profile features two counties in the state of Kentucky that could consider using wood for energy. It describes how much wood could be available within one hour of the county's center. The quantity of three sources of wood is estimated, urban wood, logging residues, and pulpwood, along with its transportation cost. An economic impact analysis was also conducted for each county to demonstrate the additional value of purchasing wood from local suppliers. This information can be used to help communities determine whether to explore the potential of woody biomass and what questions a community may need to be asked.
The Wood to Energy Outreach Program is a collaborative effort of the University of Florida, School of Forest Resources and Conservation; USDA Forest Service, Centers for Urban and Interface Forestry; Southern Regional Extension Forestry; and the Southern States Energy Board. The project was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the USDA.
Additional fact sheets, community economic profiles, case studies, and information are available in individual pdf files at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu under Woody Biomass.

The Princeton Microfinance Organization was founded in January 2008 by a group of Princeton students interested in microfinance -- "helping those in the developing world help themselves." The goals of the group are to promote microfinance as a form of investment to advance economic development and to encourage Princeton students to enter this growing field.
The colloquium is sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Government Projects Board, the Bendheim Center for Finance, the Davis International Center and the Program in Global Health and Health Policy.
