TAMPA, FL — With President Barack Obama carrying Illinois by 25 percentage points in 2008 and with a new poll showing him leading Mitt Romney by about the same margin, one might think there's not much joy among delegates and party leaders who gathered in Tampa for the Republican National Convention.
And while even the reddest of the Republicans acknowledges that GOP presidential candidate Romney has little chance of carrying Illinois, those in Tampa stress that they're focused on building the party for 2014 and beyond.
"The presidential race will be an uphill climb for us," said state party Chairman Pat Brady, adding that Republicans are concentrating their efforts more on congressional and state legislative races this fall.
"In 2014, we're going to take control of the state, and in 2016, we're going to be a swing state (in the presidential race)," Brady said. "2012 is an important year, particularly for congressional races, but it's part of a longer term plan to get more Republicans in office because we need to save our state."
GOP leaders see surge in engagement
Changing Illinois turn from a blue state to a red one — or even a purple one — by the next presidential election will be a challenge in a state where the governor's office and both houses of the General Assembly are controlled by Democrats.
But party leaders say they're seeing more engagement and excitement among Republicans than they have in years — and that should lead to success at the ballot box, they say.
"I've been to a number of conventions and I've never seen the Republican Party so unified since the Reagan days," said state Sen. Kirk Dillard, who represents DuPage County. "I think the Republican Party's future in Illinois is bright. For the sake of the citizens of this state, we need a two-party state, with Republicans in control of Springfield, to get our fiscal house in order."
"I think there is a lot of enthusiasm like we haven't see for a long time," added Karen McConnaughay, chairman of the Kane County Board and state Senate candidate. "You can feel it, you can feel that the momentum is really building."
Pat Rea, a delegate from Tinley Park who has been active in the party for years, said he seeing more and more people wanting to get involved.
"I've been the committeeman in Bremen Township since the last presidential election...and I can tell you when I came in, it was difficult finding people who wanted to actively get involved. Now it's difficult to handle all the vounteers," Rea said. "Is this new? It's new to me."
Adam Robinson, chair of the Chicago Republican Party, said since he was elected to his post in April, more than 800 GOP volunteers have come forward to work on behalf of the party in the city.
"That's new volunteers," he stressed. "Republicans want to get involved and we're simply giving them a way to get engaged. It's grassroots…it's very real support."
Illinois GOP leaders say part of that engagement is a result of unhappiness over the direction of the country since Obama has taken office.
"President Obama is a magnificant speaker and he outlined during the last campaign and since some extraordinary lofty goals and ideals...and none of them have worked," Rea said.
Could Obama really lose in Illinois?
Even though the state's Republicans are focused on building the party for the long term, it doesn't mean they're giving up on this year's presidential election — at least not publicly.
In 2008, Obama took 76 percent of the vote in Cook County, more than triple what GOP challenger John McCain received. But a poll released earlier this month shows Obama leading Romney by just 49 percent to 37 percent.
And Illinios Republicans say there are many who backed Obama in 2008 who will likley be sitting on the sidelines this time around.
"What I see is an incumbent president form our hometown who overpromised and underdelivered for his people in Chicago," Robinson said. "Independent voters and base democrats in Chicago — particularly in the black communitiy — feel this president really oversold them on a bill of goods he has not delivered. Quite frankly, he has not been 'left' enough for these guys, so they just aren't going to vote for him.
"I'm going to make any claims and say that they're going to show up for our guy," Robinson added. "But Obama is going to have some turnout issues in the city of Chicago."
"I think a lot of people now have buyer's remorse," said U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert, whosed 13th District encompasses the southwest suburbs. "There are a lot of people who are really concerned about the slow economic growth and the lack of jobs, and I think people are really worried about where this country is going."
"It isn't a done deal that the president's going to win Illinois."

Big Boi Ft. Gucci Mane - Shine Blockas Video from SNORTTHIS.COM on Vimeo.
OKSee took it easy Saturday at ACL, as the crowds turned out in their typical
Saturday droves, making it difficult to get close enough to shoot artists on
stage. But that's not to say there wasn't much going on, as Zilker Park was
hopping with Sooner football fans anticipating not just their biggest road test
of the season, but the conflict between their school pride and headlining
I chose to join my friend James Corley, the Oklahoma Daily's sports editor (and roving ACL reporter) in the TV lounge at 7:00 p.m., which turned out to be a great decision because we got to watch OU beat Florida State in an ugly, gritty fashion soundtracked by My Morning Jacket's badass Kentucky rock 'n' roll.
The morning began with an interview Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jr. an excellent electronic indie rock duo from Detroit who record thoughtful pop music over gorgeous, tinkling textures. The dudes were very friendly and endearing in person, and asked a lot about the Flaming Lips, which is always a plus for me. Expect a writeup from that in my post-coverage.
Once finished, I hurried over to the AMD stage to see The Antlers, who played terrific cuts from their excellent sophomore record "Burst Apart." "Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out" held the early morning kids in a daze.
I zipped over to the Google Plus stage immediately after to catch another buzzy Brooklyn band (you've really gotta use big festivals to catch acts that don't tour the Midwest so heavy), Twin Shadow. George Lewis, Jr.'s songs were similarly hypnotic and way, way sexier. Shortly after "I Can't Wait," he showed off his sense of good humor, laughing at a Waldo in the crowd. "I found you, man! You gotta leave and go to the next page."
After another visit to the press tent for sustenance from the ubiquitous, muggy South Texas heat, I got up fairly close for Iron & Wine, who no doubt disappointed a few of their more faithful fans with an all full-band set. "The Creek Drank the Cradle," this was not, but Sam Beam and company slayed a whole bunch of newer songs in a neo-trad fashion, including "Boy with a Coin," (which was shifted into more of an uptempo funky number) and the wistful, brand-new "Tree by the River."
According to a few different sources, Christian Bale was at the front of the crowd for the Iron & Wine show, flanked by a working camera crew who appeared to be filming him and some "cute indie chick," according to a witness. Curious, and very cool!
From there I wandered around a bit, easily able to hear Aussie dance band Cut Copy's heavy electronic rhythms and high-pitched singing. Be sure to check the Gazette's advance of their upcoming Tulsa show in the Sept. 28 issue! "Corner of the Sky" and "Take Me Over" have now returned to my heavy rotation.
Okie rockabilly legend Wanda Jackson told stories at the Austin Ventures stage while Cut Copy thundered from the much larger AMD stage nearby. It was mind-boggling to hear her talk about how nobody was recording "rock 'n' roll for girls in 1955, '56." From there she tore into her classic "Mean Mean Man," quickly followed by a brief sermon and the gospel standard "I Saw the Light."
I spent the rest of the night in the TV lounge, stressing out about the OU-FSU game in a den of obnoxious, beer-spattering Longhorns. It was great being able to hear My Morning Jacket (who are hugely loud anyway) from the comfort of my big screen-viewing seat. "Holdin on to Black Metal" stood out, backed by a brass band. I'm just sad they didn't play "I Will Sing You Songs," but other than that, it was a remarkable, headliner-worthy performance, full of heavy metal, hair-whipping, and a caped Yim Yames.
Day 2's in the books, folks. Currently OKSee's Day 3 plans are to catch Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. at 1:30, then proceed to camp out at the Bud Light stage for a good view off the Airborne Toxic Event, Broken Social Scene, Fleet Foxes, and Arcade Fire in succession. It's gonna be a great day.

By Pure Matters
Unfortunately, some people think that getting a flu immunization is too much trouble or costs too much. Or, they swear that a flu immunization will make them sick or make them more likely to catch the flu--or even colds.
Influenza--the flu--is caused by one of several strains of influenza viruses (type A or B) that infect the nose, throat and lungs, making life miserable for a week or two for many people--and deadly for some. Flu season can peak anywhere from late December to early April, according to the CDC.
Immunization facts
Your best defense against the flu is to get immunized. Depending on your age, you can do that in one of two ways:
- With a flu shot, given with a needle. This form of the vaccine contains killed virus and is approved for all people over the age of 6 months.
- With a nasal-spray vaccine. This form contains live, weakened flu viruses that cannot cause the flu. This form is approved for healthy, non-pregnant people ages 2 to 49 years.
A flu vaccination is most important for children 6 to 59 months; adults ages 50 and older; anyone with a chronic disease; anyone who lives in a nursing home or other long-term care site; health care workers; and people who are in frequent contact with the elderly or chronically ill. The CDC says children 8 years old and younger who are immunized for the first time should get two full doses of vaccine, one month apart.
Doctors also advise flu shots for women who plan to be pregnant during flu season. Flu shots are OK for breast-feeding mothers, the CDC says.
Even if you don't fall into one of the above groups, however, you are still a candidate for the vaccine if you want to avoid the flu.
Talk to your doctor first
Some people should not be vaccinated for the flu before talking to their health care provider, the CDC says. These are reasons to talk your doctor:
- You have a severe allergy to chicken eggs.
- You have had a severe reaction to a flu immunization in the past.
- You developed Guillain-Barre syndrome within six weeks of a previous flu immunization.
Children younger than 6 months of age should not be immunized against the flu, because the flu vaccines have not been approved for that age group.
If you are ill with a moderate or severe illness that includes a fever, you should wait to get vaccinated until your symptoms lessen, the CDC says.
Other prevention steps
Flu viruses are spread by contact with droplets sneezed or coughed from an infected person. Inhaling the droplets is the most common route to getting the flu, but many people also become infected by touching objects on which droplets have landed. You can spread the virus to others before you feel sick yourself. The CDC says you are infectious a day before symptoms begin and up to five days afterward.
You can protect yourself against the flu by doing simple things like washing your hands before eating and not putting your hands near your face or in your mouth. You don't need special cleansers when washing your hands; washing for at least 20 seconds with ordinary soap works fine. If someone in your family has the flu, you can keep surfaces clean of the virus by wiping them with a solution of one part bleach to 10 parts water.
The other effective means of flu prevention is humidity. The flu bug exists in higher quantities in dry nasal and oral passages, which is one reason why flu epidemics occur in dry winter months. By raising the humidity in your workplace and at home to keep your nasal passages and mouth moist, your body will be better able to flush out the flu bug.
Rooting out rumors
Don't believe the rumor that a flu shot can give you even a mild case of influenza. It is impossible. Neither form of the vaccine--by injection or nasal spray--contains a form of the flu virus that can give you the flu. The injected form of the vaccine is made from particles of dead flu virus cells, and the nasal spray contains live viruses that have been damaged so they can't cause a major infection.

"God forbid, children! I feel as if I attended an operatic performance!" according to a contemporary record, that was how a burgher's elderly wife in Leipzig commented on St. Matthew's Passion, which was probably first performed on Good Friday 1727. Today's audiences do not share the rejection of the lady with conservative taste of a long-gone age, but the drama in Johann Sebastian Bach's monumental second Passion, the story of the sufferings of God's innocent lamb can be felt and understood in its entirety by listeners of all eras. After the performances in baroque centuries, the Passion, composed for two choirs and two orchestras, was revived at the 1829 production conducted by Felix Mendelssohn. It rose to the status of the most sacred masterpieces in the history of music already in the 19th century. Bach research and the old music movement have brought us even closer to St. Matthew's Passion in the past decades, and our admiration has probably grown as a result of our wider knowledge. László Somfai's words, therefore, do not apply to musicologists only: "Getting deeper in the message of St. Matthew's Passion, discover even more about the relationship of word and music, and understand the thoughts hidden behind the musical notes more clearly – it is a programme for a lifetime."
Mendelssohn's arrangement will be performed for the first time by the Hungarian State Opera, a performance also accompanied by pioneering visual experience.

Well you could always use the Fire Nation, Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom and oh wait
Ok for real though here's my advice if you want to go real deep with it.
Grab a couple books on Latin and Greek. Look up words for the elements. Then, choose a language that you feel reflects the imagery you want for each state. Perhaps the cold and ice-hard water people would bring to mind a Slavic people, so a book on Russian. Or maybe you think of them more as living on in tropic islands, and could incorporate some jamaican slang. Fit the words together as they sound good, they don't have to be real after all.
This will pull from a common western ancestry to conjure names similar to what we've known for centuries, but incorporate just enough to be unique.

Massachusetts has signed an agreement with eight other states to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 90 million tons over the next six years.
As part of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)—the nation's first mandatory "cap-and-trade" program for carbon dioxide emissions—Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont are lowering the current cap on power plant emissions from the 165 to 91 million tons per year, starting in 2014. After 2020, the cap will continue to lower by 2.5 percent per year.
"This is one of the largest greenhouse gas reduction measures that we have seen," Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rick Sullivan said.
The RGGI Board of Directors estimates that under the new caps, the average Massachusetts residential customer's monthly electricity bill of $72 will rise by 39 cents, the average commercial monthly bill of $455 will rise by $3.89 and the average industrial monthly bill of $6,659 will rise by $83.
"One reason the bill impact is modest is because Massachusetts invests more than 80 percent of the RGGI proceeds into energy efficiency, and for each dollar invested, a consumer saves approximately $3 from reduced energy usage," according to a press release from Gov. Deval Patrick's office.
The bill forces power plants to be more energy efficient, ultimately resulting in a lifetime savings of $1.1 billion for the state's households, businesses and other electricity users.

The dollar extended post-GDP gains against sterling and the Aussie dollar, though remained below yesterday's peaks versus the euro and yen. News that Argentina is heading for a default didn't have much impact on the main currencies, while a dip in Eurozone inflation figures didn't surprise after the soft German and Spanish data of yesterday.

The dust settled after yesterday's USD surge on the solid U.S. GDP print. EUR-USD flat-lined in the high 1.33s after making a 1.3367 eight-month low yesterday. The drop came concomitantly with a dip in the 10-year Bund over T-note yield differential, which sank to near major-trend lows around -138 bp.

Oversized Beach Towels $50
Pendleton Woolen Mills' relationship with Native Americans goes back six generations, when designer Joe Rawnsley spent years researching native culture, from the Southwest to Northwestern Oregon. Rawnsley noted colors and patterns that held the most meaning to the tribes, and interpreted these designs into Pendleton's weaving processes, originally using blankets for trade with the natives. Invest in an American classic with Pendleton's soft terry cloth towels, which are just like their authentic blankets, but ready for the beach.
Damiani/ Third Line
Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian: Cosmic Geometry $70
Persian-born artist Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian fled occupied Iran during World War II for NYC, and her luminous body of work reflects the lifelong journey. Damiani publishes a comprehensive retrospective of Farmanfarmaian's graphic work juxtaposing mirror mosaics of her native land with the modern geometry of her adopted city.
A Little Lark
Moon Pillow $48
Put the moon at your fingertips with this cushy, 22-inch replica of the fullest lunar phase in all its glory. The photographic print shows off the craters and the oh-so-mighty Sea of Tranquility in a comfy pillow handmade in Portland by A Little Lark's Christy Nyboer.
Shaw Sisters
Wood Trio $38
Shaw Sisters worked with artisans in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, to create this kitchen set that consists of a spatula, and a large and small spoon. The wooden pieces are blasted with a catalyzed laquer to give a shiny, durable finish, and a dash of color.
Caramellissima Watch $60
This is actually a pretty disappointing product, because every time you look down at the Swatch Caramellissima Watch you'll likely be tempted to eat the beads—as they look so much like candy necklaces of yore. This grown-up version, while unfortunately not edible, is more than just arm candy—it also tells time.
Bamboo Boxer Company
Bamboo Boxers $25
We salute these shorts—for those who may want a reprieve from the serious world of neutral-hued boxer briefs, these provide a loud and proud answer. Full-fitting in full-on patterns, Bamboo Boxers are made in Hawaii, and are "made with Aloha," an idea that shines through in prints ranging from Kona Burgundy to Waikiki Beach Blue.

Himalayan Salt Tequila Shot Glasses $40
No need to salt the rim when your glass is hand-carved from a single piece of pink Himalayan salt! Just add lime and enjoy!
Duncan Shotton Design Studio
Colour O'Clock $38
There's something soothing about the idea of telling time by color, which is the stress-relieving promise Colour O'Clock makes. As the seconds, minutes and hours tick by, the minimalist white clock cycles through the color spectrum with an ever-changing dot.
Eric Therner
Diamond Light $50
Sometimes it's the slightest hack to the norm that can have a profound effect on your sense of aesthetics. Case in point is Eric Therner's diamond light, which shifts the common light bulb silhouette ever so slightly to become something simply exquisite.
Bog Berry
Wool Dryer Balls $36+
Herbalist Brooke Petry throws a great deal of charm and passion into the unlikely trade of making all-natural woolen dryer balls. The idea behind the balls is to replace the chemical effect of dryer sheets with a reusable alternative. Devotees swear by their power to soften clothes, remove static and reduce drying time for energy efficiency.
I Love to Kick Foosball Table $85
World Cup only comes once every four years, but you can the energy alive everyday with a competitive (or friendly) game of foosball. Kartoni's affordable cardboard table makes it easy—complete with a wooden ball, customizable players, cup holders and a smartphone speaker, this portable table is ready to go anytime and anywhere you want to play.
Baron Von Fancy
Screw Me Screwdriver $30

Danh Vo
Danh Vō Baggu Tote $40
Vietnam-born Danish artist Danh Vō is known for his conceptually driven sculptures. Often incorporating political or historical references, Vo's work—like this limited edition Baggu tote for Marian Goodman Gallery—speaks to his exploration of the power of symbols through the subtle application of an American flag.
Nat Boyd
Leather Luggage Tag $80
Created by two transcontinental friends who spent ten years mastering the fine art of printing onto leather, this calfskin luggage tag with wicker pattern perfectly complements your favorite suitcase and will truly make it your own.

Smallhome Studio
Water Tower Kit $28
One of the most visible and beloved fixtures of the NYC city skyline has been condensed for at-home enjoyment in a charming little kit. Kids ages 6+ and, we suspect, many adults, will delight in recreating the iconic water tower as a tabletop cardboard sculpture. Pick from two sizes, mini or mega, and leave them blank and simple, or paint and tag as you wish.

She was so adorable at Skate Canada. Just bursting with energy and joie de vivre Her programs don't do her justice.
Keeper of Nathalie Pechelat's bitchface.
I first saw Kanako at the JGPF in 2010. It's been great watching her grow up and mature right in front of my eyes. She's not my ideal skater in terms of lines, gracefulness, etc. but she makes up for everything she lacks with speed and energy and her ability to really perform a program. Kanako connects to her music very well and you can see it in her movements. I also find her very versatile in terms of interpreting music.
I love her spirit too! Her personality really comes through when she skates. I love it when she smiles after a good performance! Her SP from last season was my favorite of all the ladies. I thought she was wonderful at Skate Canada this past weekend and I hope she continues to build on her performances there.
Certainly one of the upcoming youngters to look out for.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
She's definitely a more skater consistent now. Spins are no longer her weakness (look at improvement with layback). But her jumping technique is still a major issue.( but 3 loop has improved)
The music in her LP is very challenging. With tango it's either hit or miss. And right now I don't think it looks very effective for the judges. But hopefully, this program with Kanako develop her artistry.
Given all that I still think she's consistently undermarked by the judges.
She must learn 2 things from her GPs:
1. Go for 3loop2toe instead. Between her tendency to UR her triples on tired legs and her visible pre-rotation on her 2loop, it gives the impression that she rotates 3/4 turn on the ice between the 2 jumps.
2. It is very dangerous to NOT start any jumping pass with an axel type jump. She should train the 2axel3toe. A layout similar to Wagner's should be strong enough yet still doable for her.
She would have been the bronze medalist in Russia if she knew either of the above.
I think her LP is amazing. Very interesting and complex choreography.
Glad to see her take my advice re; 3loop2toe . Also nice to see that her jumps are more fully rotated now.
Loved that nats LP! She really interpreted the character of the Tango music well. I love that her jumps generally have nice amplitude as well as distance. Plus, she's fun to watch- the positive attitude and obvious joy she skates with are great to see!
Kanako and Daisuke interview after Nationals. Could anyone translate?
We invited Takahashi and Murakami who had won the second place in Japan Nationals to the kiss and cry.
"Nice to meet you."
T and M: "Nice to meet you."
At first, we ask to Takahashi. In this season, you had the competition which seem to be recorded in the history of the figure skating in Japan, hadn't you?
T: "Well. It became my good memory because it had become the very severe competition."
What point do you feel to as a memory?
T:"I had regrettable feelings then, but I am satisfied very much now because I could do the performance filled with my mind after a long interval."
Watching your performance in the free skating, I felt a strong impression, but what feelings did you perform it with?
T: "I performed them with the feelings just like as if I intend to make my regrettable feelings bump them then."
In the part of the step, the audience was quite excited, but did you be able to hear that cheer?
T: "Well, I can't remember the second half almost."
Now, what do you remember?
T: "In the part that I must synchronize the moving with a sound 'Zam!', I had already started it too early as I had been too excited. As I heard the sound a little after that, I was ashamed.
But, I decided that I let's don't mind it."
Now, we ask to Murakami. Although the Kanako-smile burst after a long interval because you rolled back the tide from the short program in the free skating, were you praised about that by coach Yamada?
M: "Yes, I was praised by my coach after a long interval actually."
I think that the second place is your highest place in Japan Nationals so far, but how do you think about that?
M: "It is a feeling just like a dream and I am glad extremely."
Did you feel that you grew up?
M: "Well, looking back at last season, I think that I may have grown up very much."
Now, to them who were appointed the Japan representative for the Worlds of this time, we made written their mind to this panel of Japan flag.
At first, we ask to Takahashi. What sense are you using the word in, although you wrote "I will get 3 frames!"?
T: "It means that I would like to contribute to the frame acquisition, because the frame acquisition for the Olympics depends upon the Worlds of this time."
When watching the competition of Men of Japan Nationals now, I think that it may be good even if there were about five frames.
T: "Well, honestly, I would like to want that, too, but it is 3 frames."
Now, we ask to Murakami. Although you wrote the word "I will recover!", what sense are you using the word in?
M: "In Japan Nationals of this time, I could get very good result when I challenged it with the feeling that I would like to recover absolutely. Therefore I think that I would like to challenge to next Worlds with the feelings that I would like to recover from regrettable feelings in the Worlds of last season."
Then, it is Christmas Eve today, but what present do you want from Santa Claus?
What present do you want, Murakami?
M: "Oh!" "Is it something which I want?"
What present do you want?
M: "Umm" "No!" "Because I had been able to do the performance well in free skating, there is nothing which I want now!!"
What a wonderful comment it is!
T: "It is a wonderful comment! I can't speak nothing after that!"
What present do you want, Takahashi?
T: "I want to sleep a little. I want a time for sleeping."
Now, let's go the performance of exhibition. What performance do you show us?
"We think that we would like to skate delightfully with the audience!"

An outrageously good free skate at 4CC.
Good skate. They only thing I didn't like is that she looked exhausted near the end. Bronze and 4CC is probably her best international result. Kanako improved consistency this season.
If she doesn't single her axels, perhaps she can contend at worlds. She has UR issues, but, as Delta notes, her consistency is improved. More so, her performance skills are now in the very top. She had the crowd on her side throughout, and rightly so. It is a joyful and energetically performed program.
I think Kanako has a good future. I like her skating.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
At 2014 Worlds some top skaters may be out because it's after Olympics. This is could be her chance to medal. Till then let's hope she keeps improving.

Hayward offers the very latest in pool filter technology ensuring your pool water is clear and clean. Our filters' simplistic operation and low maintenance requirements set new standards for performance, value and dependability. Molded of tough, durable, colorfast reinforced thermo-plastic Hayward filters deliver reliable, all-weather performance with minimal care.
Cartridge Filters
When water passes through a cartridge filter, dirt is screened out at the surface of the cartridge element. When clean, the element will trap larger particles, with finer particles being filtered out as the pores of the element become clogged by the larger debris.
D.E. Filters
Many pool professionals consider D.E. filtration to be the finest, because it is capable of removing smaller particles than either sand or cartridge.
DE Separation Tanks
Designed for Pro-Grid vertical grid D.E. filters with up to 80 square feet of filtration area - ideal for water conservation and savings during backwashing by returning chemically treated backwash water to the pool.
Sand Filters
The oldest and most popular method of filtration is sand. Impurities are extracted from the water using sand to collect and attract the debris as small as 20 to 40 microns.
Filter Valves
Choose from 6 position Vari-Flo valves or 2 positional slide valves in multiple plumbing configurations to enhance DE and sand filter applications.

text: Bismarck, N.D. - Karen Elinor Nordvall passed away Sept. 20, 2013. She was born July 21, 1946. Daughter to Rudy and Thelma Helland, she was raised on the family farm in Binford, N.D. She attended Concordia College, Moorhead, graduating Magna Cum Laude with degrees in art and English education. It was at college that she met the love of her life, Bob Nordvall, son of Carl and Ida Nordvall of Thief River Falls. They married in 1967 and moved to Minneapolis while Bob attended Luther Seminary. They were called to missions and served in Papua New Guinea for almost 11 years. The first years were spent in the jungle mountains where Karen worked with native women in home and health skills. Later moving to the capital city of Port Moresby, Karen played a vital supportive role to Bob's position as a university chaplain. Their two children, Karl and Siri, were both born in New Guinea. The family returned to North Dakota in 1982 and served Lutheran churches in Binford, McHenry, Taylor-Richardton, and finally almost a quarter-century of ministry at Charity Lutheran in Bismarck, N.D. Karen played many roles in these communities of faith always serving passionately, faithfully and creatively. She was also active in other organizations; most notably in Lutherans for Life. Karen completed a Master's in ESL and taught in the Bismarck public school system, working extensively with refugee communities. She also put her art degree to work teaching at Shiloh Christian School. In 2006, Karen accompanied Bob on a sabbatical to Eastern Europe. They taught at Tartu Theological Academy in Estonia and at St. Gregor's in Saldus, Latvia. The experience changed their lives as they felt a call to return to mission work. In 2010, after retiring from parish ministry, they joined the East European Mission Network. Karen was instrumental in establishing the first Friendship English Language Bible Camp at the Tartu Academy in Estonia and in ongoing developments in program curriculum. Karen helped edit two books: "We Shall Live In Heaven," by Estonian pastor Haari Haamar; and "Igniting a Passion for Missions," by Pastor Bill Moberly, director of EEMN. As Bob devoted his time to raising both funds and awareness of the Tartu Academy, Karen was an indispensable partner. She tirelessly and skillfully handled the myriad communications across cultures that have helped to create a global network of support for the vital ministry of the Academy. Recent highlights of the past years include the incredible joy of two precious granddaughters, Elena and Stella, tenting in the redwoods of California, a trip to Norway and Sweden, and the fulfillment of a life-long dream of touring Italy to see cherished works of art including those by her favorite artist, Caravaggio. Karen lived to serve and praise her Lord and her Savior, Jesus Christ, in humble awareness that she was a sinner saved by grace. She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Bob in Richfield; her daughter Siri (Mike) Myhrom in Minneapolis, and son Karl (Tina) Nordvall in Edgerton, Wis., and also by her three brothers, Arden (Marianne) Helland of Pasadena, Md., David (Wealtha) Helland of Rockford, Ill., and Lowell (Nancy) Helland of Binford, N.D. Karen was preceeded in death by her loving parents, Rudy and Thelma Helland.A00003B2013SP25

facebook.com/pages/Johnston-IA-Patch twitter.com/JohnstonIAPatch Phone: 515-306-2891 Bio: Hi Everyone, I'm Ashlee, your local Johnston Patch editor. A little about me... I grew up in a small community south of Des Moines. I graduated high school with 38 other students in 2004. After that, I traveled to Lawrence, Kansas to go to school at The University of Kansas. I spent four years in Lawrence learning the ins and outs of journalism and communication studies. I graduated with two degrees in 2008. Since graduation, I've worked at the Kansas City Business Journal as an intern, then I spent two years covering education for The Shawnee Dispatch. Shawnee is a growing suburb of Kansas City. Most recently, I moved back to Iowa to work at the Altoona Herald as a reporter covering Altoona, Bondurant, Mitchellville, Pleasant Hill and Runnells. Today, I'm loving Johnston, as the local editor for Patch. At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs. This disclosure is not a license for them to inject their beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: We hope that the knowledge will make us mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know. Politics Like most of you, I have beliefs. Most of those beliefs are on the left, but a few are on the right. I'm always willing to respectfullly listen to any side of a debate on any issue. We are all entitled to our opinions. Religion I grew up going to a Catholic Church. However, I no longer attend. I think of religion a lot like politics. Everyone has their beliefs, I respect those. I'm constantly curious about different denominations and would like to continue exploring them. Local Hot-Button Issues One of the most important issues facing Johnston will be growth. The city has doubled in both of the last two census reports. This growth has led to the passage of a new public safety building and fire station annex. The growth has also led the Johnston School District to discuss new facilities. Johnston Patch will follow these topics diligently to bring you the most up-to-date details whenever possible.

Energy Efficiency Loans
Posted by Bruce Robinson in Sonoma , solar , legislation , housing , government , finances , environment , economy , construction , conservation , community , climate change , budget , alternative energy
A new county program to help finance solar panels and other energy improvements for existing homes and businesses is up and running, and working out some early kinks in the system.
One important aim of the Sonoma County Energy Independence Program, says John Haig, Sonoma County Energy and Sustainability Manager , is retrofitting the area's existing housing stock and other buildings to boost their energy efficiency. You can read a general introduction to the program here.
How much will these projects reduce local energy consumption? There are a great many variables that go into that calculation, Haig explains.
Information, speakers and exhibits about solar energy and the county's retrofil program will be featured at the free Solar Sonoma County Solar Fair, Saturday, June 20, 11 am to 6 pm at the Finley Center in Santa Rosa. Click here for a full schedule of events.

For 23-year-old Kristen Dalton, winning the title of Miss USA® wasn't just a dream, it was
destiny. From the age of three, she believed that one day she would wear the coveted Miss
USA® crown and sash. On April 19, 2009, in Las Vegas, Nev., as a worldwide television
audience watched, Dalton was crowned at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
For years, the women in Dalton's family have participated in pageants. Her mother, Jennie, was
Miss North Carolina USA 1982, and her sister, Julia, was the penultimate runner-up in the 2008
Miss Teen USA® competition.
"I've always been a stringent believer in the power of having a positive outlook," says Dalton. "I
believe that your attitude determines your altitude." There's no telling how high the peak is for
this ambitious beauty.
Dalton attended East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., where she represented her school
as class president for two years and served as the vice president of the National Leadership
Honor Society. The North Carolina native majored in psychology, with a minor in Spanish.
Dalton also spent time traveling throughout Spain and Guatemala, studying and volunteering.
She is putting her degree on hold to serve as Miss USA®, but plans to resume her studies at the
conclusion of her reign.
A relative renaissance woman, Dalton is an accomplished singer, actress and dancer. She has
appeared on hit television shows, including "One Tree Hill," and has performed the national
anthem at numerous sporting events, one of which was a Duke University vs. University of North
Carolina basketball game. She is also a longtime volunteer to the North Carolina Special
Olympics, and is currently a United Service Organization Ambassador representing North
As Miss USA, Dalton is a spokeswoman for the official causes of the organization, which include
breast and ovarian cancer education, research and legislation - a platform that is close to her
heart. She enjoys traveling nationwide as an advocate for organizations such as the Ovarian
Cancer Research Fund, the National Breast Cancer Coalition, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation and Gilda's Club, among others. After her reign, Dalton aspires to be a motivational
talk show host and a Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations.
The Miss Universe Organization, producers of the MISS UNIVERSE®, MISS USA® and
MISS TEEN USA® pageants, is a Donald J. Trump and NBC Universal joint venture.

Recently while auditioning speakers for my setup I came across a common dilemma.... do I really need the bigger speaker? i.e. CSi3 vs. CSi5... FXi3 vs. FXi5... RTi8 vs 10 or 12... etc. You get the picture.
While listening to all of these most of the time these speakers all have no problem hitting the 80Hz that theyre usually crossed over to the sub at, and have identical upper limits freq. resp.-wise. But there just seems to be SOMETHING that always made them different even though they technically are reproducing the exact same range and are from the same series and voice matched an all that... So I came up with three options
1) Is there just something about the timbre of the larger driver that makes for a better (or just different) sound quality. Guitar players may understand the analogy that you can play a note on a string, but if you go up or down a string you can play the exact same note technically, but there will be an ever so slight difference if you play the two back to back.
2) The crossover frequency of the speaker from the driver to the tweeter is different resulting in a different sound.
3) I am just nuts and there is no difference.
Is it a little bit of all of the above, or something Im not thinking about? Im interested if this is obvious to other people and your opinions on the cause. Thanx

According to a recent market survey, something like 80% of PWC riders stand up about 25% of the time. Yamaha's watercraft guys, in a continuing effort to meet the needs of that market, decided to develop something all new. They wanted to deliver the feel of a stand up, freestyle, competition craft, but also provide some versatility for occasional cruising three-up or towing. So, they worked from the ground up to design a sit-down watercraft which is made for stand-up riding; the FZ series. Make no mistake, if you're looking for a long list of comfort and convenience features, you probably want to look elsewhere in the Yamaha line up. Although Yamaha's FZS model provides a ride made for the aggressive, adrenaline junkies, it won't disappoint you when you want to bring it along for an occasional family outing.A Supercharged MotorThe FZS is powered by Yamaha's 1812cc supercharged, four-stroke engine. The engineers tell us that it's the largest displacement engine ever to be produced for a production personal watercraft. The exact horsepower rating is unpublished information, but let's just say that there's plenty, and it delivers! There's nothing lacking here when it comes to acceleration, and we topped out at 68.1 mph in our speed trials. And you'll be happy to know that the FZS, like all of Yamaha's watercraft, is optimized to run on regular gasoline. An All-NEW HullIf this new model was to perform as intended, the racing-minded guys at Yamaha's watercraft division knew that a new hull design was necessary. They put all their years of competition experience and know-how to work and it shows; from the keel to the rails. It starts with the oversize intake duct to complement the super high-output engine. It provides increased thrust which improves acceleration and gives you much better hook-up through the turns. And the 155mm high pressure nozzle has a trim adjustment on the left handgrip so you can trim-out the ride to suit the conditions. A full-length dihedral keel offers directional stability and contributes to high-speed turning response. The full-length lifting strakes appear to be slightly oversized in sectional dimension. The angled outside chines are really effective. They give you a lean-in, edge-to-edge ride through the turns.This was the most noticeable difference in the ride; I was able to execute turns at a much higher speed on the FZR than I've been used to. And I'm sure that the hull material, Yamaha's proprietary NanoXcel, makes a contribution to the ride as well. This stuff's stronger and lighter than conventional fiberglass, and it looks great, too. Gadget Free, Except Where it CountsDon't expect to find the amenities that are included with Yamaha's luxury models. That's not what the FZR is all about. As I said, the focus of this design process was on solo, stand-up riding, although it's not strictly limited to that activity. It was decided early on that tilt steering just didn't cut it. Instead, Yamaha's design team came up with a functional telescopic steering system which allows the rider to stand-up without hunching too far forward. The middle position lets you sit upright to cruise for a bit to catch your breath. If you're the type who owns an all-out performance bike, get ready to sit real low and feel right at home while edge-to-edge banking through the turns at high speed! "Muscle Car" StylingThe styling and color choices reflect the classic muscle cars from the '60s and '70s. The instruments are set in rounded bezels in the curved forward console. On either side of the cowling is a chunky chrome intake grill. It's a throwback to earlier Yamaha performance models and reminiscent, again, of classic automobile chrome. When you want to take someone along with you, there's room for two plus the driver on the FZS. There's a ring for towing, so you can use this PWC for water sports and there's over 21 gallons of storage space up forward, under the seat, and at the handlebars, so you can pack your gear and refreshments. And when you're standing, or moving around the deck, Yamaha's Hydra-Mat deck surface is easy on the feet while offering an aggressive non-skid quality on both the big aft deck and in the deep foot wells. If you need to cool off, (you probably will because the FZS is so hot!) a folding reboarding step is tucked under the aft deck. A Thrilling Ride As I've mentioned, the three-seat FZS and her two-seat sister FZR were not intended for the luxury performance market. Yamaha's got other models to suit those needs. The FZS is all about solo, standup riding; going all-out, hooking-up through the turns and having pulse-pounding acceleration! But in terms of accommodating two or even three riders, the FZS makes very little in the way of compromise. When I got to our test site, I was fully prepared by my hosts to expect something different, and I was immediately impressed. You'll probably want to ride solo, like I did, to experience all the FZS can deliver. The ride was somewhat different than what I've come to expect… in a good way. I could maintain my speed while leaning into a high-speed turn, more so than normal. The hull does its job, and I felt like I was glued to the machine, instead of feeling like I was about to fly off, as I angled through my turns at high speed. Yes indeed, my pulse was racing! So what if the FZS isn't for everyone? It wasn't meant to be, although it doesn't have many shortcomings, except maybe for the spartan list of extras. But… if extras are your priority, then there are lots of other Yamaha models to choose from. However, if you're the type who likes to get up on your feet and "ride the heck out of it" all day long, then you owe it to yourself to check out Yamaha's FZS.

I have been using these for years due to them being one of the few manufacturers to do very large sizes. Their sizing is spot on as is their comfort and quality. They are quite simple fantastic trainers.
Sized as Expected
Having read about size issues, I went to a local stockist to try an example for the fitting but, as a UK size 9 found them spot on. They didn't have the style I wanted so bought on line. Very quick delivery, faster than my local shop! Very impressed with the solid construction and the snug way the shoe holds the foot. The best fitting shoe I have had for years, they will not be my last! Also given high marks by my Othotist!
Sized as Expected
I have worn Merrell shoes for many years and have been delighted. This is no exception; really comfortable from day one. Only one slight criticism, but not enough to reduce the 5 stars; the heels are slightly rounded at the sides (presumably for looks), which can give a slight tilt which could be dangerous.
Sized as Expected
Everyday use
I recently bought a pair based on good experience of previous Merrell footwear ownership, and a need for a pair of hard wearing smart/casual shoes. I have to say they are unbelievably comfortable - like slippers for the outdoors. Highly recommended!
Sized as Expected
I had to return another pair of Merrell which was very cheap quality(Merrell circuit grid) and Got these as the replacement. Fantastic customer service. This is very well made and very comfortable. I normally by 1/2 size up when I buy Merrell shoes. Well recommended.

Additional Info/situation: Prince's owner was killed in a car accident and left Prince wondering why Dad didn't come home. He has been pulled from the clinic he was left in but he needs to move on. There is an ADOPTION waiting for him in Maryland!! Please help Prince get to his new family to spend the New Year in a warm, loving home.
This is the second attempt to get him home. The first try was before a few weeks ago and only got offers for the final leg. I hope this attempt will be better.
