I had to share these great candle holders made out of bottle caps made by Kenyan artisans. What a fun way to recycle and turn trash into art! You can find more at Swahili Imports.
If you'd like to try making an easier craft with bottle caps yourself, why not make mini tea lights with bottle caps?
HereInSmallTownUSA at Etsy has done just that with these beer bottle cap candles. Apparently they even float, although the fun would probably be short lived.

True Sound Hire supply a Void Arcline PA sound System to St Paul's School on Lonsdale Road in London.
The schools in house sound engineer Simon Hendry contacted us requiring a sound system for an exclusive VIP ''Magnets'' gig on Wednesday 18th May.
''The Magnets are the vocal group with a word-of-mouth reputation for spicing up the parties of supermodels, heads of state and billionaires with their blend of razor-sharp harmonies and jaw dropping beat boxing''
The venue seats up to 500 guests and is set out in theatre style. Simon was worried this could opposed a problem trying to ensure the same quality sound throughout each row from the bottom up to the top, without sounding distorted or quieter in places…. The PA system also needed to fit within the venues ''look'' and not become an eye saw for their customers.
This wasn't a problem as the Void Arcline system is small, compact yet loud & clear. The main advantage of this system is down to the mid tops having a wide dispersion of 120 degrees which allowed complete coverage of the whole venue with only 2 stacks.
We successfully had no interference between rows and each row of seats was perfect. Quote from the Magnets sound engineer ''guys you have made my job a million times easier tonight, thank you… if only you could come and tour with us''
We are back to St Paul's School later on in the year to supply another PA system for one of there largest opera events to date…. See you there.
So if you need a hire company to supply you with speakers, lighting, projectors & truss for either your wedding or a festival production we stock the right rental equipment as well offering professional technical expertise.

How We're Coping with the Storm (Hint: First We're Donating Food)
Before we get specific about how the Fork in the Road team will take advantage of this weather, we'd first like to recognize that the food pantries and shelters we supported wholeheartedly after Hurricane Sandy will definitely need extra supplies this weekend. Currently, there is a tremendous need for canned fruits and vegetables, peanut butter, and cereal. The world's greatest comfort food, mac and cheese, is also in high demand. Contact City Harvest or the Bowery Mission to find drop off locations in your neighborhood.
Village Voice
By now, all New Yorkers know how to prep their pantries for an upcoming storm. This time around, canned goods, pasta, and a whole lotta booze should be enough to carry us through an evening or two spent indoors.
Need weekend inspiration? Here's how team Fork in the Road plans to stay warm and well fed tonight.More »

We have been coming to Anna Maria Island for a few years and each time we try to find a place to call "home", but we don't have to look any longer! From the moment we walked in the door we knew we would never want to stay anywhere else. This property is everything it says and more. It is in a wonderful location, with the beach or bay just steps in either direction out the front door. The unit is beautifully maintained and has every comfort imaginable. Lazy days at the beach or by the pool, which is situated directly in front of the unit, made it hard to leave. The owners are very personable and stay in touch. We have already reserved our stay for next year and hope to keep returning for many years to come!
My family and I stayed at this town home for a week over the 4th of July it was one of the cleanest places we have ever stay at! Great location, beautiful views, and a 30 second walk to the beach. Loved it!!
My husband and I just returned from a week's stay at Jen and Joe's lovely vacation home on Bradenton Beach, Florida. The house was exactly as advertised, beautifully decorated, well-maintained, well-stocked, and perfectly located. The master bedroom is awesome, especially the divinely comfortable king size bed and balcony off from the bedroom. The master bath has a very nice jetted garden tub and good-sized tiled shower. We have stayed at numerous vacation homes, and this is by far one of the best. Jen and Joe are perfect hosts and very helpful. They answered every one of our questions before our trip, and made it clear to contact them if we had any problems during our stay. They are proud of their home, and rightly so. We will definitely be coming back. We stayed during the cold snap that hit the nation, including Florida. Despite unusually cold weather for this area, we found every day to still be perfectly fine to go out on the beautiful beaches and fishing piers in the area. We didn't come to shop, but found delightful shops on the island, particularly at St. Armands Circle, and in Sarasota and Venice. We ended up buying another suitcase to bring back the things we purchased! We have fallen in love with this little bit of paradise. There isn't a better place to experience it than in Jen and Joe's lovely vacation home, which is located right across the road from a lovely white, sandy beach.

This year's Independence Day celebration at Memorial Park will be more quiet than usual, as a lack of financial support has forced the Fouth of July Committee to cancel the fireworks display.
Committee co-chairwoman Marcia Levengood stated in a report by the Pottstown Mercury that fundraising has lagged over recent years, and the organization has to deal with the misconception that the funding for the celebration comes from Pottstown taxpayers. The report additionally states that many in the borough believe that members of neighboring townships should shoulder a portion of the financial burden.
Regarding the other portion of the borough's Independence Day celebration, the committe is still planning the Fourth of July parade, but they'll need to raise an additional $20,000 for that to occur, according to a report in the Sanatoga Post.
If you'd like to make a donation, contribution checks can be made out to Independence Day LTD, 230 Beech Street, Pottstown, PA, 19464. Independence Day LTD is an officially recognized non-profit 501(c)3 organization, and donations are used to fund every portion of the July 4 events.

Best chicken wings recipe
With super bowl coming up i thought this might be a good one.... I will share mine
Season wings with salt and pepper and fry in hot veg. oil. (cut off tips before frying).
While the wings are frying dump a bottle of franks hot sauce (or any good red hot sauce) with one stick of butter in a double broiler. I use a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water. Let the butter melt into the hot sauce and as the wings come out of the fryer (drain) and dump them into the bowl of hot sauce/butter to toss.- Really Really bad for you- but most wings are!!!! Really yummy!!!!-True buffalo style wings. Serve with carrots, cellery and both blue cheese and ranch for dipping and cooling off the spicy bad boys! :)
I do pretty much the same thing and have found I can fry the wings hours in advance and hold until needed and then just before serving heat the butter and franks and toss the wings in the hot sauce to heat them through. It lets you get the messy part over and cleaned up before you and your guests eat them.
Yup- I use your recipe for Buffalo wings. Love them. SOme of the kids, however, prefer milder stuff. They love this recipe: Marinate chicken wings ( cut and trimmed) in sugar, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice and ginger. Double line a roasting pan with tin foil. POut the wings, and some of the sauce into the roasting pan, and roast at 325 until the wings are black and sticky- a couple of hours.. They will be tender and tasty. It is a teriyaki type flavor that the kids love. But they are really messy.
I've done the Buffalo wing thing but bake them instead. I dump all the wings in a large bowl, salt and pepper, and douse them in the hot sauce (Tabasco or Franks) with some melted butter for good measure. Bake on a high heat (about 400 or so) until cooked through - you can pretty much tell when they are done, about 1/2 hour or so, give or take.
Saves on some calories by not deep frying, plus you don't have to stand over the hot oil and mess up the kitchen as much :-)
re: sivyaleah
If you are deep frying at the proper temperature the wings are only getting crisp and brown.They are not absorbing any of the oil. You can check this yourself by measuring the oil before frying and after. If you have had the oil hot enough, 350-365 is good the difference will be imperceptable. If your deep fried food is greasy then your fat/oil was not hot enough.
re: Candy
This is very true, I'm aware of it but somehow I can't help but think some of it does seep in. Anywhere I can cut back, I do try to. But aside from that - for me it's more about the mess :-) I can't stand all that hot grease flying up all over the kitchen. I'm not the best at cleaning up afterwards LOL and I'm also kind of a klutz around hot oil too LOL.
And, this way I get to hang w/my family and friends more too! Pop them in the oven and forget about them for a while :-)
re: sivyaleah
Oh one of my Kitchen's Christmas gifts was a new De Longhi roto fryer. It has a lid with a double filter so no odors and no spattering. Put the food in, close the lid set your timer and walk away. No standing over it and moving stuff around. Just go have a glass of wine and relax. I do stay in the kitchen where I can see it but it is great. The basket rotates in and out of the fat and I get great results. Clean up is a snap. I used to hate the spattering and mess now I don't think about it at all.
I posted this on another topic, but here's my all-time favorite. Will keep vampires away for days! The secret is to marinate the wings in the oil-garlic puree for as long as possible before breading and baking. Your house will smell amazing when they bake, too!
To make things easier, buy the conatiner of peeled garlic cloves...just eyeball how much you think 3 heads of garlic would be. The more the better! :)
Garlic Chicken Wings
2 lbs. chicken wings, or drummettes
3 bulbs fresh garlic, separated into cloves and peeled
1 cup plus 1 TAB extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tsp pepper
Preheat oven to 375. Split the wings at each joint and discard tips; rinse, then pat dry. Place the garlic, 1 cup olive oil, salt, and hot pepper sauce in a blender or food processor and puree. Pour over chicken, cover and marinate for as long as you can (overnight is great). In another bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and pepper. Grease a shallow nonstick baking pan with the remaining 1 TAB olive oil. Dip the wings, one at a time, in the garlic puree, then roll them in the bread crumb mixture, coating them thoroughly. Place in baking pan in a single layer. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until brown and crisp.
Pineapple Chicken Wings
Marinade: 16 oz. of pineapple juice, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup lite-soy sauce and 1 tablespoons grated fresh ginger. Place all ingred. in a small pot and warm until sugar is melted through. Set aside while cleaning wings. Marinade wings for 30 mins then transfer to a foil-lined sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees for 30 mins. Serve with puree pineapple jam. (I add a few shots of tabisco to the jam for heat).
Here's a marinade I tried last week to use up a bunch of oranges. Really nice flavor and covers both hot and sweet. This was for 8 wings, so you'll want to increase the proportions for more.
3/4 c. orange juice
juice of one lime (or really any citrus you have on hand is probably fine)
1/3 c. olive oil
4 cloves garlic crushed
1 tsp. coriander (roughly)
a healthy shake of dried pepper flakes, probably close to 2 tsp.
another healthy shake of whatever hot sauce you have lying around
salt and pepper
Marinate as long as you can. Throw some thick-sliced onions in too, if you want to fry/grill them and serve with the wings.
rule # one: chicken wings must be deep fried raw (a light coating of flour is acceptable). parboiled and fried or baked is like putting ketchup on a hot dog. sauce:
-franks hot sauce
-fresh garlic or fresh roasted to your personal taste
-tabasco, or for you manly or womanly people your favorite habanero XXX assblaster sauce for reaching your personal heat level nirvana
-honey to temper the heat or pure maple syrup for something completely different
-butter to thicken your sauce. you don't want that butter taste when you bite into the wings.
-salt and any other herb you so desire, i like a liitle thyme with mine
-secret ingredient: a liberal dose of heinz 57 sauce.
-peanut oil or commercial trans fat (if still legal in your area) for cooking wings.
-carrots and bleu cheese, save the celery
for us lazybones...the mccormick's buffalo wing packet works great...all done in the provided oven bag...u slit it for crispy wings...just add pre-cut celery and carrot sticks plus marie's bleu cheese dressing for hassle-free, tasty wings...no fryer mess and you can make batches before, during, and after the big game easily...along with other easy finger foods...try it
If you don't have a deep fryer, don't sweat it. Just use a large dutch oven. The important thing is to have enough oil so that the wings can be submersed and not crowded. A thermometer is essential. I think 375 F is about right. Use peanut oil.
I use the Frank's Hot Sauce/butter recipe. However, after I mix up the sauce, I add about two handfuls of minced garlic to the sauce and simmer it gently for a little while. Let it cool before coating the wings. The trick to getting the sauce to adhere is the butter.
I usually deep fry, but have made them equally as tasty by cooking on a hot grill.
I decided to make vindaloo chicken wings this year. With raita for dipping! I can't wait to make these!
My husband loves the extra crunchy batter, deep fried and then add hot sauce and blue cheese dip. The other one of his favorites is the Italian wings made with a batter made with parmesean and italian seasonings and marinara sauce for dipping. My favorite is the oyster sauce wings, you deep fry first. Then add ginger, onion and garlic, and oyster sauce and stir fry with broccoli. Messy but so good!
For a smokey twist, GRILL THEM on a charcoal grill. If you have a Big Green Egg, they are even better. Grill them for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. After you finishing grilling them throw them in Frank's Hot Sauce and butter. I know you guys are going to throw me under the bus, however, i swear, you will never fry again.
These are my favorite chicken wings. They are an Asian teriyaki flavor and so delicious.
Mahogany Wings
I love this chicken honey drums recipe. It's nothing like the fried buffalo wings, though.
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/4 c. honey
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 c. fresh bread crumbs
1/2 c. finely chopped pecans
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350. Arrange chicken on baking sheet w/ parchment paper. Stir melted butter, honey, mustard; simmer, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Brush each wing generously. Keep remaining. Combine bread crumbs and pecans, sprinkle over wings. Bake until tender. Drizzle w/ reserved honey mix.

1. Can I make payment of instalment by a local cheque ex Delhi based bank or by cash?
2. I had sent amount 'X' towards my instalment long time back but have not yet got the receipt.
Has the amount been received?
Status of payment can be seen on website. Duplicate copy of Receipt is sent to the member only after getting a written request with reasons.
3. I have been allotted a dwelling unit similar to another allottee but the cost charged from me is higher than that of other allottee.
Please elucidate the reason.
The cost charged from the seniormost allottee is the basic cost. However, those allottees who are issued booking letters at a later date, finance cost is added to bring parity between registrants or/and to offset interest burden borne by AWHO.
4. I have withdrawn from AWHO scheme 'X' due to compelling circumstances/ financial problems.
Can I get refund of my deposits forthwith as a special case ?
Since the amount paid by way of instalment is committed towards purchase of land/construction expenditure, the amount due, after deducting permissible deductions, will be refunded only after the dwelling unit has been reallotted and payment to AWHO has been made by reallottee or on expiry of six months in the case where booking letter next has not been issued. However specific requestes for early refund are considered.
5. I had made part payment of Rs 'X' against my instalment in time.
But the balance amount which was sent by CDA(O)/ AGIF was delayed due to no fault of mine.
Thus, rebate at the rate of one percent should be credited to my account.
Rebate of one percent on the amount of any instalment is admissible only if payment (in full) is made by the due date.
Responsibility to ensure timely payment by agencies like CDA(O)/AGIF etc rests with the allottees concerned.
6. I had paid my instalment which was due on ……….. in full from my own sources.
Now an amount of Rs 'X' has been sent by my loaning agency direct to your office.
Please intimate if the excess amount will earn interest till adjusted in next instalment.
No interest is admissible on excess amount.
Please send a written request for refund of the excess amount if so desired and the same shall be refunded to the member forthwith.

By MELINDA J. OVERSTREET
Glasgow Daily Times
Two trucks that were stolen from the Barren County Road Department barn last weekend were recovered Wednesday in separate locations.
The theft is similar to one that occurred Dec. 28 at the same facility on County Barn Road, and law enforcement agencies believe the incidents are linked to other thefts in several counties. Kentucky State Police issued a release Thursday identifying a suspect and asking for the public's help finding him.
Thomas Upton, 33, of Glasgow, is believed to be "armed and extremely dangerous," according to the release. He is described by state police as 6 feet, 1 inch tall, 190 pounds and white with blue eyes and brown hair. Anyone with information about Upton is urged to call KSP or a local police agency.
Upton is suspected in as many as eight auto thefts in Barren, Warren, Hart and LaRue counties. An all-terrain vehicle that was stolen Monday might also be related, according to a Barren County Sheriff's Office release. The red Honda 300 EX was removed from a trailer at a residence on Willie Groce Road.
In both incidents at the county barn, the building was entered through a rear window and the vehicles were later found abandoned.
Barren County Road Supervisor Johnny Kinslow said the window had been locked, but the lock was torn off and the window was pushed in "by force." The same window was used both times, but it had been repaired after the first theft, he said.
The KSP release reminded the public to not leave running vehicles unattended and not to leave keys in vehicles. "Many of these thefts had occurred due to the owners' leaving their keys in their cars," the release said.
Kinslow refused to answer a question about whether the trucks' keys were kept in separate locations in the barn. He then declined to answer a direct question about whether the keys were in the trucks' ignitions.
"That's information you do not need to know," he said. "I'm not giving out that information; it's not public knowledge."
Kinslow said he knows of no connection between Upton and any road department employees. Upton has never been employed by the department, but Kinslow believes a relative of Upton lives in the general vicinity of the barn.
Law enforcement officials recovered the county's white 2002 Chevrolet Silverado on Cleveland Avenue near Sorenson Avenue on Wednesday evening after someone reported seeing it there, said Mike Houchens, public information officer for the sheriff's office. The county's white 1999 Chevrolet 3500 was also located that evening with the assistance of KSP in a wooded area off U.S. 31-E, about a mile south of the city limits, he said.
Kinslow said the tank and brine applicator that had been on the Silverado were gone, as were various tools and an air compressor contained in the utility bed of the Chevy 3500. Both trucks were damaged, as had been the 2004 GMC Sierra pickup that was stolen in December and later recovered on Merry Oaks-Railton Road.
Items that suggest drug activity had occurred were found with the Silverado, Kinslow said, and Houchens said hypodermic needles were recovered. Drug-related items had also been found in the Sierra when it was recovered, Kinslow said.
Houchens said it is likely that at least two people were involved in the weekend thefts.
"We're just hoping to get some good, reliable information on this so we can stop [these crimes]," Houchens said, noting that BCSO, KSP and the Warren County Sheriff's Office are working in conjunction on the case.

He really liked it and I think for anyone that saw me write it and get involved with it and have all my ideas…It was so detailed, the way that I had it all envisioned. I think he was proud of seeing someone write, and then you look at them like they're nuts, and then you see it all come together and go, 'OK, that makes sense.' … He didn't stay on the set very long, because there was like 20 hot girl dancers. I was like, 'You can leave now. You can watch the video when it's all about me.'

Enid News and Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
The Goo Goo Dolls are making a stop in Enid.
The Grammy-nominated rock group added a date in Oklahoma to its summer tour with the rock band Daughtry and the pop-punk band Plain White T's.
Tickets for the Aug. 5 concert, which are priced at $45.50 and $59.50, go on sale 10 a.m. Friday, April 25. Fans can order tickets by calling 855-TIX-ENID, visiting www.EnidEventCenter.com or in the Enid Event Center and Convention Hall Administration offices.
The tour kicks off in Wallingford, Conn., on June 12 and crisscrosses North America through the end of the summer.
"We are excited to finally be teaming up with Daughtry," said Goos vocalist-guitarist John Rzeznik. "Not only are we big fans of Chris, but we think this is going to be a huge party for the fans of both our bands. The combination of the two will make for an awesome summer night of great American rock music."
The Goo Goo Dolls are touring in support of their 10th studio album, "Magnetic," which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and at No. 2 on the Top Rock Albums chart, propelled by "Come To Me" — the fastest-growing single in the band's history.
The group has scored 14 Top 10 radio hits — more than any other artist in the history of the Hot AC format — including "Name," "Slide" and "Iris," the latter spending nearly 12 straight months on the Billboard charts and holding the No. 1 position for 17 consecutive weeks.
Daughtry is touring in support of the band's fourth album, "Baptized," which was released in November 2013 and debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200. Daughtry's latest single, "Waiting For Superman," is Top 15 at Hot AC and has sold more than half a million downloads.
The band is currently on a European and soldout U.K. tour.
Daughtry's self-titled debut was the fastest-selling rock debut in Soundscan history and its follow-up, "Leave This Town," marked the quintet's second consecutive No. 1 album. Daughtry's third album, "Break The Spell," was certified gold within four weeks of its release. Daughtry's latest single "Waiting For Superman," from the band's new album "Baptized," is Top 15 at AC.
"We are huge fans of the Goo Goo Dolls and have wanted to tour with them for a long time now," said lead singer Chris Daughtry. "Everyone will see more than two great bands on stage. They're going to get an incredible show every night and have a summer to remember."
This Enid concert adds to the big-name artists like Reba McEntire, Darius Rucker and Kansas who have, or soon will, make a run through Enid.
"We are excited to announce Goo Goo Dolls and Daughtry with special guest Plain White T's coming to Enid Event Center on Aug. 5," said Global Spectrum's Keller Taylor, general manager of Enid Event Center and Convention Hall. "Having two multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated American rock recording artists, in Goo Goo Dolls and Daughtry join us this summer, continues to exemplify the diverse entertainment we strive to bring to Enid and north-central Oklahoma."
The Reba concert, which is sold out, will be June 21. Kansas visits with its 40th anniversary May 10.

Defense ruled the day as the Homestead football team won its fourth WIAA state title with a 14-0 victory over Waunakee on Friday at Camp Randall in Madison.
The Highlanders stopped the three-time state champion Warriors' 48-game win streak and claimed their first crown since 2008 with the help of three stops inside their own five-yard line.
Seniors like Shaquille Cole, Jay Schneider and Ryan Stendler fought through injuries to contribute mightily to the Homestead cause.
The surprising title could have been viewed as a Cinderella story but coach Dave Keel, who has presided over all of the team's championships, chose not to, saying that the team was underdog to no one.

Dr. Oz, star of the appropriately named "The Dr. Oz Show" is out to help those whose resolution is to lose weight, which seems to be a significant amount of the population.
Dr. Oz is starting what he's calling a "Resolution Revolution"by introducing the "Move It to Lose It" diet to his audience on his show today. Whereas many weight loss resolutions fizzle out quickly or end in yo-yo dieting, Dr. Oz has partnered with Nike and Sharecare to come up with an 11-week plan that works.
The plan is comprised of taking measurements, including Body Mass Index (BMI), and deciding on a realistic, healthy weight loss goal for you. You're then able to meet those goals with the help of personalized exercise and meal plans and providing virtual one-on-one support via tutorials on how to chart meals and snacks, building a support system and meeting with an online personal trainer.

Gardner will take live batting practice todayBy
Via Jeff Bradley, outfielder Brett Gardner will take his hacks in live batting practice today. "I feel great," he said. "I have hit in the cages this week. Soft toss. And once I hit live on the field, I think I'll be able to show that I'm 100 percent and ready to play. My body feels like it's March. I'm excited to get back on the field and help any way I can."
The 29-year-old Gardner has missed basically the entire season with an elbow injury that (eventually) required surgery. We've been hearing that he's close to being activated as a pinch-runner/defensive specialist for a few days now, though I wonder if this new batting practice stuff means he'll be able to hit in games as well. That would be huge, especially against right-handed pitchers. Stick Gardner in left, Ichiro Suzuki in right, Nick Swisher at first, Raul Ibanez at DH, and they're good to go.
36 Comments»
I agree putting the best OF D on the field at this time and vs. RHP is huge. Gardner-Jeter-Ichiro 9-1-2.
Against lefties, too. Put Gardner in LF, Ichiro in RF, Swish at 1b, Nunie at DH and Andruw Jones as clubhouse greeter.
"clubhouse greeter" had me laughing.
Welcome to Yankkes Stadium…. I love you.
What percent chance does everyone think of him being the Yankees starting LF in the postseason (should they get there)? My guess would be around 20% for the sole reason that I don't believe he will be inserted into the starting lineup every day and be eased back into things.
if he´s good to go like he says cut him loose. What are the other alternatives?
Depends how he is swinging. Hitters usually take a bit of time to get going, although he would only have to surpass jones/ibanez.
I think it depends if Teixera is back or not. If Teixera is back then no, they'll go with Ichiro in LF and Swish in RF, Gardner will primarily be a defensive replacement and pinch runner. If Teixera cannot come back then Gardner is a better LF option than anybody else because they would put Ichiro in RF and Swish at 1B. Ibanez could then DH and the defense would be vastly improved.
I would completely agree with you, it all does depend on Mark "85%" Teixeira.
Oh, you're on the Mark, Teixeria!
Are there any issues with his post-season eligibility since he was not technically on the 40-man roster 9/1/12 (he is on the 60-day dl)? I'm just curious because I haven't read anything where the team has mentioned him playing in the post season.
Please learn how to slide feet first.
Because that's how he hurt his elbow?
No because that's how he will re-agggravate it as the head first slide is a big part of Gardy's game.
How did he re-aggravate the arm twice in rehab assignments? Swinging, sliding?
Swinging. In each case after a few games (in one case it might have been a single game) of swinging the bat in game conditions, the soreness returned.
There could be many clubhouse greeters including Andruw and Girardi. There could be left hand shakers and right hand shakers.
Platoon Shakers…. Girardi's binder just exploded
"My body feels like it's March"
says the guy who hasnt played basball since damn near March…
Get well Brett!
I'd like to know why, at this very late date, is he merely soft tossing?
Gardner (LF) / Ichiro (CF) / Swisher (RF) / Teixeira (1B)
is better than:
Ichiro (RF) / KKKKurtis (CF) / Swisher (RF) / Teixeira (1B)
And any iteraction with Ibáñez/Andruw in the OF.
For the simple reason that Gardner only needs to hit 4-for-1 to hit better than Granderson, plus his speed and knowledge of small ball make him more valuable than KKKKurtis with his "all-or-nothing" swing.
Granderson hits a homerun every 14 at bats (every 16 plate appearances), that is once every 4 games. Homeruns are such a big part of Granderson's hitting that if you take them away (good pitching neutralizes homerun hitters) we only have a 0.172 AVG hitter.
And in top of that, Granderson hits homeruns at a higher pace with the bases clean than with men on base:
nobody on: 27 homeruns in 367 "chances" (plate appearances) = a homerun every 13.5 chances.
men on base: 12 homeruns in 274 "chances" = a homerun every 22.83 chances.
Let's see how Granderson holds up when he doesn't hit a HR.
With the bases empty: 46 hits (73 hits – 27 HRs) in 294 at-bats (we use at-bats because those chances already happened, but we substract the 27 at-bats that resulted in HRs).
So Curtis is 46/294 = 0.156 AVG with the bases empty.
With men on base: 43 hits (55 hits – 112 HR) in 223 at bats.
That puts him at: 43/223 = 0.192 AVG
How good or bad is Curtis producing? Let's call that "effectivity", and it is how often Granderson produces when he has RISP with other vias except for homeruns.
Has 94 RBI, 57 of those have come via the homerun (60.6%) :
8 2R-HR's = 16 RBI
2 3R-HR's = 6 RBI
2 4R-HR's = 8 RBI
27 Solo HR= 27 RBI
Total —-> 57 RBI
That means that Granders has had 37 RBIs with RISP when not hitting a HR, let's break that:
Has not hit a triple with men on base.
4 RBI with a man on 2nd base in 39 chances (9 hits = 1 double).
4 RBI with a man on 3rd base in 10 chances (1 hit = 1 double).
4 RBI with men on 1st and 2nd in 33 chances (6 hits).
3 RBI with men on 1st and 3rd in 11 chances (1 hit).
8 RBI with men on 2nd and 3rd in 12 chances (3 hits = 2 doubles).
14 RBI with the bases loaded in 16 chances (6 hits = 1 double).
So, he has had 149 runners in scoring position in 121 at bats (148 appearances, or chances), and has recorded a hit in 26 occasions, plus 2 walks with the bases loaded and 6 sac-flies.
With men on scoring position, not counting HRs, Granderson has had 34 appearances ending up producing runs, producing a grand total of 37 RBI.
34 productive appearances in 148 chances = 34/148 = 0.229 = 22.9%
22.9% of the time Granderson has had men on scoring position, he has ended up producing at least one run.
The American League average of "effectivity" is 19.19%, so, Granderson has been barely above average producing runs when he doesn't hit a HR.
Miguel Cabrera "effectivity" is 27.48%, and that is a guy who also hits 30+ HRs every year.
Of course we could also discard players under the league minimum of at-bats (adding AB+Walks+HBP+Sacrifices to include more players) from the past 5 seasons, then calculate the "effectivity" of every one, and normalize to see how good a player is in relation to recent history data.
Wow, good point, they should make a stat for all those AB+Walks+HBP+Sacrifices. Heck, they should even throw in sacrifice flies/catcher's interference. They could use that stat to judge eligibility for batting titles, etc. But what would they call it?
2 + 2 = fish?
It's so dumb, it's brilliant.
I completely agree with you Mikhel, but you have to think about Gardner –
Gardner mostly hits singles, but also some doubles and triples. Last year Gardner had 132 hits in 510 AB (.259) – but if you subtract the singles, doubles, and triples, Gardner had only 7 hits in 385 chances, an ABYSMAL 0.019 average. How can you recommend him over KKKKurtis?
The flip side, though, is that in those 7 hits, he slugged 4.000. That's pretty incredible.
Yes, but he benefited from an unsustainable indeterminate BABIP during those 7 at bats. So you have to imagine he'll regress.

A well written case description is an effective way to communicate conditional logic or flow, and is easy to maintain and update. However, there are times when making the functionality work as it would in the final app, can help with the design process or
user testing.
For example, let's say we want to show a picture of a fruit based on the value selected in a droplist. You could create a dynamic
panel with states containing the images of fruit. When the value of the droplist is changed (OnChange) you can define conditional logic in the cases to evaluate the value in the droplist (if selected option of Fruit Droplist equals 'apple') and set the dynamic panel state accordingly.

Proud wife department here. Nick was in Australia all last week taking part in the Crave festival in Sydney, promoting his new book.
He knew that very few hours after landing there early one morning he was expected to be interviewed by ABC radio, the Australian equivalent of the BBC. What he didn't know until he landed, groggily, was that the interview was live, and that it was for Australia's answer to Desert Island Discs. So he had to suddenly come up with five favourite pieces of music (at least two of them classical), and sound articulate for an hour, even though he must have felt thoroughly disc-ombobulated rather than disc-literate.
You can hear the very impressive results here.

There was little ringing in the New Year with some new Rumson Board of Education members on Thursday night.
And there were also some familiar faces returning to the dais and taking oaths for additonal terms.
In a quick, simple ceremony, newcomers William "Bill" Loughran and Maura Beyer were sworn in to full and unexpired terms, respectively, by Board Secretary/Administrator Denise Friedmann.
Loughran, who is principal of Holmdel High School, won his first term to the board. After being appointed to temporarily fill the unexpired term of Colleen Hodge, who resigned due to relocation, Beyer ran to fill Hodge's seat for two years and won against Russell Binns.
And John Connors took his oath, returning to the dais through 2015. Margaret Simons was absent and "will take her oath privately," Friedmann said.
As is protocol for an organization meeting, Friedmann ran the meeting until all were sworn in and a president, who normally runs the meetings, was nominated and appointed.
Colleen O'Connor, for the second year in a row, was appointed president and O'Connor, in turn, nominated Todd Havard as vice president, who took the spot on the dais for the first time.
The following are the committee assignments for the year 2013:
Education ~ Kim Swain, Colleen O'Connor, Todd Havard and Margaret Simons
Planning ~ Colleen O'Connor, Bill Loughran, Maura Beyer and Kim Swain
Finance/Facilities ~ Colleen O'Connor, Craig Pinsley (Chair), Peter Jarck and Maura Beyer
Policy ~ Colleen O'Connor, Todd Havard (Chair), John Connors and Bill Loughran
Personnel ~ Colleen O'Connor, John Connors, Craig Pinsly and Margaret Simons
Foundation Liaison ~ Craig Pinsly

Buchholz battles for spot in state final
Fri. February 08, 2013 at 12:00 p.m. | By Larry Savage

The Buchholz boys soccer team is entering uncharted waters in the state playoffs. So is West Orange.
Tonight in Winter Garden, one of them will advance to their first state final in school history.
The Bobcats (18-1-4), ranked No. 2 nationally by MaxPreps, are unbeaten in 10 straight games, winning their last four by shutouts, three in playoff wins over Spruce Creek (2-0), Jacksonville Mandarin (1-0) and Oviedo (1-0). The unbeaten Warriors (18-0), which have just five seniors and have scored 65 goals, have 12 shutouts on the season and pulled out a 2-1 double overtime win at Tarpon Springs East Lake in the regional finals.
Buchholz certainly has the edge in experience with 13 seniors and have been very stingy defensively in the playoffs, especially in its last two games. Junior goalkeeper Hunter Patrick wasn't really challenged against Oviedo like he was against Mandarin, a state finalists last year.
The Bobcats, who have 10 shutouts on the season, have enjoyed three straight playoff games at Jonesville Sports Complex and will be making their first road trip in the postseason. Coach Andy Aulick sees his team's experience as an advantage.
"The guys have been in these game and they know what to expect, they know the implications," Aulick said. "Being there before kind of takes the pressure off of them, relaxes them a little bit. I also think it gives them more drive wanting to win. Having been knocked out in the past gives them that drive to wi
"A lot of guys keep saying they don't want to lose, they don't want it to be their last game. With all these seniors, they don't want this to be their last shot."
Senior forward Eric West leads the team with 17 goals, but opponents have been keying on him a lot in the playoffs, where he has been held scoreless.
"I would love to see him get some goals in the playoffs," Aulick said. "It is his senior year and I would like him to end his career on a positive note. As our leading scorer, he draws a lot of attention from our opponents. It has opened up holes for our other players."
Midfielders Diego Fisher (11 goals) and senior Louis Allen (10 goals) have been the scorers during the playoffs for the Bobcats, each kicking in a pair in the three games.
Offensively, West Orange is led by sophomore forward Felipe Silva, who has connected on 19 of his 23 goal attempts. Freshman midfielder Greg McDoom, who scored both goals in the regional finals, has 14 on the season.
"Last year I thought we had a team that had a shot at state and we fell early," said Warrior coach Scott Fisher. "This year's team I thought would be kind of a rebuilding year. We were fortunate to get two brothers from Kansas (Felipe and Victor Silva) that transferred in and it has helped us a lot.
"From what I've seen of Buchholz they are a great defensive team. We believe we play pretty well defensively ourselves. I know they are one of the top-ranked programs in the nation and tied Montverde (nation's No. 1). We have a lot of respect for Montverde."
Aulick sees a lot of similarities between the two teams but is counting on the Bobcats' experience to be the difference.
"l heard they are also a smaller team than us," Aulick said. "I think we will have some advantage in size. We will try to use that to our advantage as well.
"In past years felt we have come off soft against a lot of teams. If we come out with an aggressive style we can put pressure on teams. We tend to remind each other to keep up the intensity."

KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — Hurricane storm surge can inundate the narrow, low-lying Florida Keys, but that is far from the only water worry for officials.
A tidal gauge operating since before the Civil War has documented a sea level rise of 9 inches in the last century, and officials expect that to double over the next 50 years. So when building a new Stock Island fire station, county authorities went ahead added a foot and a half over federal flood planning directives that the ground floor be built up 9 feet.
Seasonal tidal flooding that was once a rare inconvenience is now so predictable that some businesses at the end of Key West's famed Duval Street stock sandbags just inside their front doors, ready anytime.
"It's really easy to see during our spring high tides that the sea level is coming up — for whatever reason — and we have to accommodate for that," said Johnnie Yongue, the on-site technician at the fire station for Monroe County's project management department.
While New York City's mayor was announcing a dramatic multibillion-dollar plan for flood walls and levees to hold back rising water levels there, sea walls like those that encase the Netherlands wouldn't help much in the Keys, as a lack of coastal barriers isn't the island chain's only problem.
"Our base is old coral reef, so it's full of holes," says Alison Higgins, the sustainability coordinator for the city of Key West. "You've got both the erosion and the fact that (water) just comes up naturally through the holes."
The Keys' plans for adapting to rising sea levels sound a lot like the way they prepare for hurricanes: track the incoming disturbance, adjust infrastructure accordingly and communicate potential risks to residents — all, hopefully, without scaring off the tourists who treasure the islands for their fishing, Technicolor sunsets, eccentric characters and a come-as-you-are social scene that has attracted the likes of Ernest Hemingway, U.S. presidents and flamboyant female impersonators.

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) allows you to access state-provided healthcare in all European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland at a reduced cost or sometimes free of charge.
Everyone who is resident in the UK should have one and carry it with them when travelling abroad. Remember to check your EHIC is still valid before you travel. Applying for the card is free and it's valid for up to five years.
Presenting the EHIC entitles you to treatment that may become necessary during your trip, but doesn't allow you to go abroad specifically to receive medical care. However, maternity care, renal dialysis and managing the symptoms of pre-existing or chronic conditions that arise while abroad are all covered by the EHIC.
Your EHIC will allow you access to the same state-provided healthcare as a resident of the country you are visiting. However, many countries expect the patient to pay towards their treatment, and even with an EHIC, you might be expected to do the same. You may be able to seek reimbursement for this cost when you are back in the UK if you are not able to do so in the other country.
The EHIC is NOT an alternative to travel insurance. It will not cover any private medical healthcare or the cost of things such as mountain rescue in ski resorts, repatriation to the UK or lost or stolen property.
For these reasons and others, it is important to have both an EHIC and a valid private travel insurance policy. Some insurers now insist you hold an EHIC and many will waive the excess if you have one.
Applying for an EHIC is easy. Even if you don't have any plans to travel in the near future, it is always a good idea to get one.

Starbucks is enjoying a caffeine rush on Friday after the coffee king reported its latest quarterly results.
Shares of Starbucks (SBUX) were up 4% in late morning trading. The company announced Thursday afternoon that fiscal first-quarter sales jumped 11% from a year ago and hit a record of $3.8 billion. Earnings per share were up 14%.
Although these numbers simply met analysts' forecasts, many investors were clearly impressed to see the company continue to grow, particularly in international markets. Starbucks said same-store sales rose 11% in its China/Asia Pacific unit.
But can the stock keep brewing up strong returns? Shares now trade at about 26 times fiscal 2013 earnings estimates, a bit of a premium to rivals McDonald's (MCD) and Dunkin Brands (DNKN) as well as K-Cup "frenemy" (and David Einhorn short target) Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR). Still, many traders on StockTwits think Starbucks deserves to trade at a lofty price.
Starbucks has run 7%+ quarterly comps in the US for three years running. Pretty incredible - stuff premium multiples are made off $SBUX
$SBUX CEO Howard Schultz came across very well during the CC...Growth and record earnings driving company.
Great points. The international growth plans of Starbucks get most of the attention. But the company continues to dominate in the United States. And the stock has been on a tear since Schultz came back to lead Starbucks in 2008.
It's an amazing comeback for a company that just a few years ago was being accused of having saturated the market with stores on nearly every corner of most big cities and towns. It brings to mind the hilarious "Best in Show" scene about a husband and wife meeting at Starbucks ... but not the same Starbucks. "We saw each other at different Starbucks across the street from each other."
One of my CNNMoney colleagues wants some credit for Starbucks' success. And another trader points out that Starbucks may have replaced a certain tech company as Wall Street's latest darling "it" stock.
I'd like to think I contributed to Starbucks' 2% pop this a.m. Sipping a latte as I write. $SBUXup on upbeat CEO comments. #earnings
Catherine, follow the Peter Lynch "buy what you know" mantra. For a mere $52 more than the $5 you probably shelled out for that tasty beverage, you can buy a share of Starbucks stock!
$SBUX is the new $AAPL... Consumers are addicted to the product with new innovative form factors and global growth characteristics...
I think that's a compliment. But Starbucks investors have to hope that the stock doesn't plunge 35% in a few months like the once invincible Apple (AAPL) has done. Speaking of Apple, it is interesting that Starbucks avoided a huge sell-off considering that its results did not blow past forecasts. But that's kind of like the whole market right now. Apple can apparently do nothing right and everybody else gets a free pass and the benefit of the doubt.
All news is good news, unless it is related to Apple. $SBUX up 4% on a so-so quarter.
Finally, it's time for the Reader Comment of the Week. Apple was THE story. Lots of funny tweets about the huge sell-off following earnings. But here was my favorite. It was in response to my joke about how tissue makers Procter & Gamble (PG) and Kimberly-Clark (KMB) might benefit from increased sales to inconsolable Apple shareholders.
@LaMonicaBuzz $AAPL shareholders also buying more beer to cry in when the Kleenex runs out. $TAP $BUD & $SAM all higher today.—
The Mays Report (@MaysReport) January 24, 2013
Ha! But investors may need something a bit stronger than beer. Beam (BEAM), Jack Daniel's-owner Brown-Forman (BFB) and Johnnie Walker parent Diageo (DEO) were all up on Friday.
Hedge fund manager David Einhorn's newest short target: Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG).
Greenlight Capital's Einhorn thinks Taco Bell, owned by Yum Brands (YUM), will eat Chipotle's lunch with its new Cantina-style menu.
Chipotle was one of four stocks that Einhorn discussed during his presentation at the Value Investing Congress in New York. He also spelled out a case for why investors should buy General Motors (GM) and health insurer Cigna (CI). MOREMaureen Farrell - Oct 2, 2012 12:56 PM ET
Even billionaire George Soros caught Facebook (FB) fever this spring.
The hedge fund manager purchased 341,000 shares of the social media company during the second quarter, according to SEC filings.
Hedge fund managers aren't forced to specify when during a quarter they purchased stakes in various firms. Still, it's safe to say that the investor who infamously made $1 billion shorting the British pound is under water on his Facebook bet.

It's been a good week for heavily shorted stocks reporting earnings. I wrote (and did a video) Thursday about how Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) surged despite poor guidance.
First Solar (FSLR) was another company that popped on earnings news even though there are still many economic headwinds in the U.S. and Europe facing the maker of solar panels. That made it Thursday's Stupid Stock Move of the Day.
#StupidStock Move of MOREPaul R. La Monica - Aug 3, 2012 12:18 PM ET
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) issued some decaf guidance. But that didn't matter to investors. Shares popped nearly 30% Thursday morning even though the company provided a near-term earnings outlook Wednesday that was less than stellar. It appears investors are excited to hear that the company is boosting its inventory ahead of what it hopes will be strong demand next year.
That's dangerous. Many companies have been burned by boosting inventory MOREPaul R. La Monica - Aug 2, 2012 10:41 AM ET

Gloucester Township Police arrested three men in a jewelry heist—one for allegedly stealing the goods and two at a cash-for-gold shop who ran afoul of the law, police say.
Anthony Sciacca, 29, of Erial, is charged with stealing the jewelry from a Jerome Avenue home sometime between early December 2012 and late January. Police say he sold the stolen jewelry to We Buy Gold in Winslow Township for about $14,000.
Detectives investigating the theft spoke to We Buy Gold's owner, Anthony Natale, who police said agreed to cooperate. Natale reportedly told police he needed until the next day to locate the jewelry.
Instead, police allege, Natale, 50, of Atco, told his employees to sell the remaining jewelry back to the victim for $3,915. The victim came to the store with the suspect, police report.
A third man got involved after police confronted a cash-for-gold employee about selling stolen jewelry, which is a crime. Charles Arzillo Sr., 70, of Cherry Hill, physically confronted the detective, police say.
All three men now face charges and were arrested Feb. 1. Sciacca was charged theft by unlawful taking and released pending court on $5,000 bail, with the option to pay 10 percent.
Natale was charged with theft by deception and improperly disposing on evidence, and released on a summons pending court.
Arzillo was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, and released on a summons pending court.

East Park Elementary School students and staff were released early Thursday following a false carbon monoxide alarm.
Marion County Superintendent of Schools Gary Price said that a carbon monoxide detector went off as the result of testing and was misconstrued as notification that carbon monoxide was detected. Still, Price said that the fire department did go through the building to investigate the situation and ensure safety following the alarm.
This incident occurred after furnace problems plagued the school last week, resulting in an early dismissal on Monday, Feb. 18. School resumed on Feb. 19, 20 and 21, but problems arose again on Feb. 21 when fumes from the furnace re-appeared.

- Abstract:
Small broadside of the 14-verse poem, Flight of Doodle! about the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas), with each Confederate state's performance in the battle making up a stanza.
Scope and Contents note
The collection contains the small broadside of the 14-verse poem, Flight of Doodle! about the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas). Written after the first battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Virginia, the song (sung to the tune of Root Hog or Die!) tells how the troops of each Confederate state in the battle trounced the Yankee forces.
Biographical/Historical note
The First Battle of Bull Run, also known as First Manassas (mainly used by Confederate forces), was fought on 21 July 1861, in Prince William County, Virginia. It was the first major land battle of the American Civil War. Although both sides were unseasoned, Union Brigadier General Irvin McDowell led (after considerable pressure from Washington DC politicians and citizens) his unseasoned troops across Bull Run against the equally inexperienced Confederate Army of Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard camped near Manassas Junction.
McDowell's ambitious plan for a surprise flank attack on the Confederate left was poorly executed by his officers and men. The Confederates, who had been planning to attack the Union left flank, found themselves at an initial disadvantage. Confederate reinforcements under Brig. General Joseph E. Johnston arrived from the Shenandoah Valley and the course of the battle quickly changed. A brigade of Virginians under Colonel Thomas J. Jackson, a relatively unknown officer from the Virginia Military Institute, stood their ground and Jackson received his nickname, "Stonewall Jackson". The Confederates then launched a strong counterattack, and as the Union troops began withdrawing under fire, many panicked and it turned into a rout.
It was at that battle, with such fierce fighting and many casualties, that both sides realized that this war would be much longer and bloodier than either had anticipated.

Off the Crossebar podcast: Brandon Turner dealing with side effects of concussions
We're seeing it more and more in sports today. Players having to give up the game they've given the majority of their lives too due to injuries stemming from head shots. Every pro league that is a contact/collision sport is doing what they can to limit dangerous hits and put player's safety at a priority. The National Lacrosse League and the world of lacrosse are no different.
Brandon Turner is one of those players. Turner grew up playing lacrosse and hockey. It's all he's every really known. He eat, sleeps and breaths the game and it allowed him to play with and against some of the games best.
However, a recent string of major and minor concussions have led to doctors telling him that he must stop playing. The gut wrenching news wasn't easy to take but he didn't let it completely exile him from the game. Turner was immediately taken on as an assistant coach with the Durham Turfdogs of CLAX.
But the story doesn't end there. A darker side to recurring concussions that we are seeing far too often nowadays has reared its head. This week on the Off the Crossebar podcast, we try to help to lift the shadow, break the silence and bring awareness to mental illness and depression with Brandon Turner.
Tuesday February 12th, was Bell Let's Talk day- a day where the media giant helped to bring awareness to mental illness across Canada by donating five cents for every text, phone call and tweet made with the hashtag #BellLetsTalk.
1 in 5 Canadians will experience some form of mental illness in their lives and at the same time, 2 in 3 people suffer in silence fearing judgment and rejection.
Depression and anxiety are two major forms of mental illness that affect hundreds of thousands of people all over the world and far too often the stigma of this illness makes it increasingly hard for people to talk about it.
Brandon Turner suffers from depression and in a very open and candid interview, he opens up to not only me, but you as well. "Honestly, other than my girlfriend and my parents, you're the first person I've actually told," expressed the former WLA, NLL and CLax defender.
A big smile and happy exterior doesn't necessarily mean everything is going well inside and often people who deal with depression never let on to the demons they battle within.
This was a very tough interview for me personally, as I too deal with depression as well and many other people–the ability to talk with Brandon, be open and honest with those around me, allow me to battle though the tough days and feel better when the clouds move in.
Enjoy this week's podcast with Brandon Turner and please, learn the symptoms, always be willing to listen and Let's Talk.Teddy Jenner is one the leading sources for lacrosse information. He comes by his love of lax honestly with a lifetime of experience, two Mann Cup championships and six years of play in the NLL. Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com, follow him on Twitter @OffTheCrosseBar or catch him on Team 1410 radio in Vancouver, B.C., as the host and producer of the Off the Crosse-Bar Radio Show In 2012, he was awarded the BCLA's Norm Wright Merit Award- handed out to a member of the media deemed to have have contributed to the promotion of lacrosse.

Thousands of supporters of Thailand's ousted former premier Thaksin Shinawatra gathered in Bangkok Tuesday, preparing to surround the seat of government just days ahead of a major regional summit.
The red-shirted protesters want Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to hold fresh elections and meet other demands. Abhisit came to power in December after a court dissolved the previous, pro-Thaksin government.
Police said around 8,000 demonstrators had gathered at a central Bangkok parade ground ahead of their planned march on Government House. Hundreds of riot police and soldiers stood guard outside the building.
"We will march peacefully and I don't expect any clashes," core protest leader Jatuporn Prompan said. "We will not occupy Government House but we will evaluate how long we stay outside on a daily basis."
The rally has already forced Abhisit to move his weekly cabinet meeting, due later Tuesday, to the beach resort of Hua Hin, where he will host a summit of Southeast Asian leaders starting from Friday.
Abhisit said he was confident security forces would handle the rally peacefully and insisted that he would go to work at Government House on Wednesday as usual.
"No, I don't worry at all," Abhisit told reporters as he arrived at his hotel in Hua Hin.
The other demands of the so-called "Red Shirts" include the sacking of Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya because of his links to the anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) movement.
The yellow-clad PAD occupied Government House for around three months last year and seized control of Bangkok's two airports for a week in November-December.
They ended the sieges in December when the court dissolved the Thaksin-linked ruling party, paving the way for Democrat Party leader Abhisit to take power in a parliamentary vote.
The red-shirts also want the return of the 1997 constitution, which was replaced by a new constitution following the 2006 coup that toppled Thaksin, and the speeding up of prosecutions against PAD leaders.
Jatuporn said the protesters would not obstruct the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit.
"Our activities will be only in Bangkok," he said.

The meeting will be held at 7:00 P.M. at the Cumberland County Extension Office which is located at 310 Allen Road in Carlisle. You do not have to be a member and there is no cost to attend.
Forests perform many important environmental functions and contribute to our biological wealth. Pennsylvania's forests are also an important renewable natural resource and include some of the nation's most commercially valuable hardwood species. They are not only a source of aesthetic beauty, but also of economic viability and employment for thousands of residents. Understanding the benefits our forests provide and taking stock of our forest resources is necessary for ensuring its sustainability for future generations.
The Cumberland Woodland Owners Association is an organization of forestland owners and others interested in forestry issues in south central Pennsylvania. For more information about the meeting or the Cumberland Woodland Owners Association, contact Fred Peabody at 717/776-3565 (email: firstname.lastname@example.com).

As I was taking the shielding off the motor, I was amazed at the amount of debris inside. Mostly it was very fine dust all caked in there, but I found strips of old cloth and a bunch of leaves too. I have no idea how the motor stayed cool. I am a guy who blows the tractor off with air after every use too! I am going to blame it on the PO. The carcass of the tractor is going to the CC dealer. I am going to have him weld a couple places and redo the hydro. I think there is a switch plate in there that needs some attention. I took alot of play out of the steering but I am going to see if he knows a couple of tricks to take out the rest. Sorry for the long post, just keeping you guys updated. I did take some before pictures maybe I'll post them along with the after pictures later. Paul B., thanks for all your guidance so far. Hope your patience holds out as I am sure to have more questions soon when she starts to go back together. I'll use your painting tips. Also, what is supposed to go around the dash where the hood meets it? I stripped off the crap that was on there as it worked good but was not original. Not unless IH used duct tape and black foam.

Stikman visited the Iron City over a year ago, but his characters remain permanently fixed to our phone booths, bridges, and pavement. This marks one of his more recent campaigns, as he experiments with postal stickers, miniature sculptures, and other mixed media.
You can tour Stikman's Pittsburgh visit with starting in South Side, head towards the West End Bridge, then explore W North Avenue. Look for his 2D and 3D figures found on pavements and buildings.
This particular piece is located at 12th & Bedford Sq. in South Side.

Geologists use a wide variety of techniques from across the scientific disciplines (biology, physics, chemistry and others) to study the causes of catastrophic events such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, glaciations, and extinctions. These same techniques are applied to events which take place over longer times, such as species evolution, continental drift, mountain building, and climate change.
Geologists also play a leading role in the discovery and recovery of natural resources such as water, energy (petroleum, coal, uranium), metals of all sorts, and industrial raw materials.
If you enjoy the outdoors, you will have many opportunities to work in the field. Geologists literally travel the entire world, making maps and taking samples for further analysis back in the lab.
When environmental investigations are undertaken for construction or clean up of contamination, geologists provide expertise on how best to carry out the work.
In addition to your scientific expertise, as a geologist you will have an awareness of the social impact of your work.
Geologists are employed by environmental and engineering consulting companies, in water, mineral and energy exploration, and by state and federal agencies.
