TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The World Cup Synchro Trials are set to begin at the Morcom Aquatics Center on Friday and will run through Sunday. The top pair in each of the six events will represent USA Diving at the 2014 FINA Diving World Cup in Shanghai from July 15-20.
"This is a great event," FSU head diving coach Patrick Jeffrey said. "We have a world-class facility equipped with a great staff and meets like this really put our school on the map. We have some of our own divers competing and we don't get to compete synchro very often, so I can't wait to see how they perform."
FSU divers Ariel Rittenhouse and Katrina Young will compete in the meet. Rittenhouse will dive the 3-meter event alongside Amanda Burke on Friday.
"I'm very excited," Rittenhouse said. "My partner and I were recently paired up and we're learning how to dive together, but competing will be really fun."
Young will take to her specialty and dive with Amy Cozad in the 10-meter event on Sunday.
"Amy is one of my really great friends," Young said. "I'm really excited to compete and take on a different persona with her on the platform."
Also included in the field are three other Olympians in addition to Rittenhouse. David Boudia - the 2012 10m Olympic Gold Medalist is scheduled to compete in both 3-meter and 10-meter, while Troy Dumais and Abby Johnson will compete in 3-meter. Both Dumais and Johnson medaled at the 2012 Games, Dumais took home the bronze alongside Kristian Ipsen in 3-meter synchro, while Johnson earned silver diving with Kelci Bryant in 3-meter synchro.
Prelims each day will begin at 10 a.m. and finals for Friday and Saturday's events will start at 4 p.m. Finals for the women's 10-meter on Sunday are scheduled for 3 p.m., while the men's are slated to start at 4:15 p.m. however that schedule is subject to change.
Live results for each event can be found on divemeets.com or usadiving.org.
Tickets for each day are $5 for adults and $3 for children or fans can purchase a pass for the event at $15.
The competition schedule is as follows

Doctor Who Logo Leggings

Spacey-Wacey Style
- Officially licensed Doctor Who leggings with TARDIS "DW" logo
- Ankle-length fitted grey leggings
- 100% polyester
- Read more...
Spacey-Wacey Style
These Doctor Who leggings are so great, with a tunic tee, sweater-dress, or even under a pair of shorts. Our only regret is that they weren't offered as a wardrobe choice to the Doctor's stylish companions. Instead of her sheer tights, Amy Pond could wear these leggings with her black skirt and red sweater, and Rose Tyler could find the perfect color of leather bomber jacket to pair with them. And Donna Noble, well, she's not changing her style just for the Doctor, but if she did, that brown trench and grey sweater dress would look fantastic with these logo leggings.
Style your own companion outfit (or better, be a time lord yourself) with these 100% polyester Doctor Who logo leggings. The leggings are meant to be fitted, but if you don't want them to be tight, order one size up. This product is imported.

Updated to include Slama's activation and recent starting pitchers.
Also, I've changed the widths so that everyone's name appears on one line. You will have to scroll over further to find Rule V and MiL FA info (as well as the other columns), but I think it looks better.
Updated again...
Eric Hurley asked for - and was granted - his release.
Trevor Plouffe is on a rehab assignment in Rochester.
Luke French was sent to AA.
Sean Burroughs was placed on the DL.
This leaves the Red Wings a little light.
Not sure if it matters but Scott Diamond was born in 1986 not '85 as posted
Jeremy - Hein Robb ... if he signed in 7/08, would he not be Rule 5 eligible after 2012?
also....great page but Josmil Pinto (if Ive done my math correct) should be either Rule V eligible and/or a minor league FA after this yr.
There were some others that I adjusted. I usually put in a year when I find a new guy, but then don't always change it when I find the official signing date.
Thanks for catching those mistakes. I'm sure there are more!
This org chart is amazing... overwhelmingly so... Now it's out there, and we'll find a few tweaks, but it's amazing what you have here!!
outstanding, no doubt
Thanks guys. I started keeping track of the organizational rosters 5-6 years ago on an excel spreadsheet... it's evolved quite a bit over time, but it got to the point where it needed to become something I could share. The meat of it made it over, but there is way too much information on the spreadsheet to ever stop updating it.
Great stuff. Thanks for the good work. Looks like the Twins will have their hands full this off-season trying to protect players and adding at least 2 arms. I just cannot see them be successful without trades.
Updated rotations to include today's starting pitchers (for most games).
Deleted the contract details at the bottom. I'll post them here if figures change.
FM: Pat Dean to D.L. Kyle Gibson to rehab.
Beloit: Cole Johnson activated. Dallas Gallant to D.L.
E-Town: Michael Quesada suspended. Kelly Cross promoted from GCL.
what injury for Dean (just innings???)
Quesada suspended for what.....did he get into Kenny Vargas' "weight loss supplements"?
Quesada will be serving a 50-game suspension. He'll have to serve this suspension only when the E-Twins are playing, so (if he remains in the organization) he won't be eligible to play again until - depending on their schedule next year - around 7/20. (He will serve 19 games this year and 31 next year.)
Kyle Gibson has been activated and assigned to Fort Myers.
Trevor Plouffe has been activated and Nishi optioned to Rochester. (Payroll doesn't change- Plouffe was on major league DL and Nishi makes his money either way.)
Rotations updated (which will be the norm, so I won't post it) and other aesthetically pleasing things.
Nothing too interesting today.
The Red Wings activated JR Towles and Mike Hollimon.
The Twins and Wings flopped Dozier for Pedro Florimon. The Twins payroll doesn't change. The pro-rated amount for the remainder of the year ($136,400) will now go to Florimon instead of Dozier.
Dozier was sent down on his first optional assignment. The interesting thing is that the Red Wings have exactly 20 days left in their season and that for an option to count, it has to be for AT LEAST 20 days. So, in my estimation, if Dozier finishes the regular season in AAA and is called up before the Twins game on 9/4, the option won't actually count.
Florimon was added to the 40-man roster. He has an option remaining.
Another update:
Swarzak activated (no salary change).
Perdomo and Manship down (both pro-rated reduction of league minimum, $133,800).
Team salary reduced by $267,600 to $97,609,300. (That number will increase when the Twins make another move.)
Also, to make room for players sent down, the David Bromberg was moved to AA.

football season is the best season in Boone
I was never big into sports but everyone cheers on the Mountaineers whether they go to the games or not.
Everyone loves to go to games especially in football.
Personally I don't enjoy athletics. But as a member of the Marching Mountaineers I've seen how other students respond. There is a lot of school spirit, the stadiums are usually packed with fan, and the team usually does a pretty good job.
football is very big on campus

Town Square
On second thought, let's just pet the bunnies
Original post made by Sierra Rhodes on Jun 21, 2013
I'm reminded of goats and their lack of grace and dignity by the return of the Alameda County Fair. The Fair is one of my favorite places. Rides, carnival games, pig races and petting zoos -- goats included -- make for an event that turns me into a five-year-old.
Recently, I came across a video of goats being goats. Or rather, being less like goats and more like people.

Food Helps Malians Get Through Conflict
At a school in the northern Mali town of Mopti, children uprooted from their homes by conflict line up to receive a nutritious lunch. WFP is providing school meals to over 28,000 displaced children in Mali to prevent them from falling victim to malnutrition as they wait to return home.
School meals are an important part of WFP's emergency response to the conflict in Mali. They give children like these an added reason to attend school while providing them with the calories and nutrition they need to be healthy.
WFP is assisting another 113,000 children at schools in southern Mali, many of which host children displaced from the northern part of the country
Since the beginning of the conflict in Mali, WFP has provided food assistance to more than 335,000 people displaced from their homes, including refugees in neighboring countries.
With the beginning of the lean season--the period between harvests when families are at greatest risk of running out of food--WFP will continue to scale-up assistance. WFP plans to assist some 517,000 people in Mali by the end of May.
Supporting long-term solutions to hunger in Mali is another important part of WFP's response to the crisis. In this image, women learn advanced composting methods that will help to boost their vegetable crops. WFP provides them with food while they take part in the project, which is funded by the European Union.
In the village of Nara, in southern Mali, WFP is providing, through EU funded resilience project, food to families taking part in a traditional well-digging that will provide water for drinking and irrigation
In addition to conflict, Mali has also been hit by frequent droughts, which have struck with increasing severity as a result of climate change. A project funded by the EU and supported by WFP has helped to reforest nearly 400 acres of land with trees called "moringa".

Never had oysters-recommendations
We are visiting New Orleans from Chicago and will be in town Sunday morning to Tues afternoon. Here is the itinerary:
Sunday lunch- Parasol Dinner- Luke
Monday breakfast- Cafe Du Monde Lunch- Mr B's Dinner- The Green Goddess (if open) or Emeril's
Tuesday lunch- Mena's Palace
I have never had oysters and would like to try them this trip. What is the best way and place to sample your first oyster. I am happy to fit in or change out a scheduled place in order to have the best first oyster experience.
Thanks for all suggestions.
which preparation do you want to sample, raw, fried, baked, brochette, rockefeller?
also, why mena's?
re: bodie
I know nothing of oysters so I am looking for your suggestion. I am hoping to get suggestions of how you would have wanted to first taste an oyster.
Mena's was picked just because we were looking for something quick, cheap and local for lunch. We have to catch a flight and don't have a lot of time to eat.
re: savoureux
Drago's for charbroiled oysters: http://www.dragosrestaurant.com/
Casamento's or Acme for raw or fried:
Most of the oyster bars will give you a sample, if you want to go that way. Lightly battered and fried is delicious too - must not be over-cooked. The last two times we had raw oysters in NOLA they were the best ever, salt and tender and sweet. Bon appetit!
(and try them on a poboy)
Luke has a raw bar, so you can try oysters on the half shell there either by the dozen of half dozen to get started with either champagne or a local brew on tap.
I LOVE oysters: raw (Luke), fried for po boys (Parasol's) or topped on salads or as an appetizer (like oysters en brochette at Galatorie's), in soups (like oyster artichoke or stew or seafood gumbo), baked in Italian seasonings (Mosca's) or just a big fried platter.
We are getting so excited for our New Orleans trip and after reading these posts are also very excited to try some oysters. Thanks for all the tips.
re: savoureux
re: savoureux
I have no idea where to steer you for this one but perhaps some others can help. You should try to find Oyster Stew otherwise known as Oyster Milk Soup. College in used to make it to order (as everyone should). It is very easy to make and just as easy to screw up. I have not seen it on a menu is ages but maybe it is out there somewhere. I'[d be surprised if someone isn't offering a version with Smoked Gouda & Mortadella or something like that but I;d be suspicious--try to find the Real thing.
You are already poised for greatness. Luke has simply spectacular p&j oysters, served raw. They are dreamy and creamy. I have had them three times this week and tonight is looking pretty strong for a fourth outing.
re: powderhound
re: joedontexan
how are these prepared? are they chargrilled (like Drago's) or do they use BBQ sauce?
there was some misunderstanding a while back from a visitor who thought BBQ shrimp meant BBQ sauce, was disappointed and ripped the restaurant until a clarification was made as to what NOLA version of BBQ shrimp meant. didn't want a first time oyster eater (OP) to have expectations of one thing for it to be another...thanks!
re: edible complex
re: edible complex
The "BBQ" Oysters at RFG should actually be called "Buffalo" Oysters. They are fried oysters that are coated with a sauce that is similar to Buffalo Wing sauce, then sprinkled with crumbled blue cheese. I love them, but they should not be confused with the (always excellent as well) char-brilled Oysters at Drago's.
Just got back from 3 nights/4days in NOLA. It was my only my first time there but good research led to a very rewarding (and busy) food tour. We hit 11 restaurants in that short time. A lengthy review will follow in a couple of days but here are my oyster pics:
Skip Acme. I was there for lunch on a slow weekday. Oysters were okay but I was very turned off by that dirty, stale, beer on the floor smell that plagues many a french quarter bar. Don't get me wrong, I'm no snob and I don't mind such an aroma in, well, an awesome divey New Orleans bar. I don't however appreciate this flavor in a place where I'm eating raw seafood. This was a stark contrast to my favorite oyster spot: Casamentos. Strikingly clean, impeccably fresh, Casamento's is the bomb. One of my favorite meals of the trip, my girlfriend and I enjoyed two dozen raw and an amazing bowl of oyster stew filled with fat, luscious, whole oysters. Cold dixie beer washed it all down clean. I loved this place. Its in a lovely neighborhood and easy walking down Napoleon St. from the St. Charles trolley line. We would have eaten more but we were fresh off a stroll through the garden district and an amazing lunch of Roast Beef Po Boys at Parasol's. Definitely go there. The next day we had 1/2 and 1/2 oyster/shrimp po boys at Domilies's in Uptown.
So there it is. For raw, stewed, or loafed (i didn't try it but it looked amazing) go to Casamento's. For Oyster Po Boys hit Domilise's.
re: Debrouillard
Thanks for encouraging comments about the tile abbatoir of oysters....glad the stew was good. Need to run down there in the next few weeks before the closing...the "Brigadoon" days a re coming...only a few moments to enjoy simultaneous delights. (Hungry Celeste may get this gag.)
Oh yeah, I forgot, Cochon had what looked to be amazing wood-fire oven roasted oysters on the half shell with some kind of spicy compound butter. We were oystered out at that point and had other apps instead which I regret. Cochon would be a good one to add to your list, as would Brigtstens.
The food has been so good at Emeril's, we dine there several times a month. . Try the Abita bacon salad. Andouille crusted redfish and the pork chop are 2 can't miss entrees. They also offer a changing small/not so small plate menu. Commander's for lunch (m-f ) in the garden room is always a treat.

Jumps or drops for than a few feet could possible break something. though I have dropped 5 feet and less, it was against my better judgement. the bike held, i landed a little stiffly, but it rode it out. after checking for any breaks or cracks, i was surprised that there were no stress fractions of any kind anywhere on the frame. gave me more confidence in my decision to ride this bike.

Strengths: Light and strong - amazingly light (so light that it initially feels flimsy - but wait until you take it for a lap). The carbon lefty and frame make it incredibly light and the stiffness / strength is unbeleivable. The standard set-up is perfect.
Weaknesses: ??? Wasn't built with any!!! None that I have discovered - price is a little high - but you get what you pay for..

The Case for Mel Watt
The Federal Housing Finance Agency needs a leader who will stand up for homeowners.
Ever since the collapse of the housing bubble, local officials around the country have had to deal with a massive problem of homes effectively abandoned by banks and other absentee owners.
With the direct and indirect costs of this neglect running into the billions of dollars, scores of cities and towns have passed laws calling on lenders or mortgage holders to pay a fee for maintaining the properties they have taken steps to reclaim. Now, as Chicago has learned, such efforts face an unexpected threat from an arm of the United States government – the little-known Federal Housing Finance Agency, or FHFA.
In Chicago, banks had been walking away from the foreclosure process after deciding that it might not generate enough money to justify the expense of maintenance. The city council responded with an ordinance requiring mortgage holders to maintain homes before taking ownership of them. The council had carefully crafted its rule to answer the criticisms of a group of major banks, but the FHFA objected.
As the overseer of government-backed mortgage firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (known as the GSEs), it filed a lawsuit characterizing the maintenance fees as an illegal tax. In September, a federal judge upheld that claim, letting Fannie and Freddie off the hook for maintaining vacant Chicago homes with GSE-backed mortgages.
This lawsuit brings back bad memories. In the pre-meltdown years, Washington's financial watchdogs had become so thoroughly captured by Wall Street that, on top of their own failure to act against deceptive and predatory lending practices, some of them sought to block state and local consumer-protection efforts. Most of these regulators have learned some lessons since then. But apparently not the FHFA.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
The FHFA was created in 2008 expressly to regulate Fannie and Freddie. Its clout expanded dramatically with the government takeover of those entities the following year. As the owners or guarantors of (at last count) about two-thirds of the nation's home mortgages, Fannie and Freddie have a huge potential role to play in facilitating loan modifications that could work out to the mutual benefit of homeowners and lenders or securities-holders.
Unfortunately, the FHFA has an acting director, Edward DeMarco, who seems to be less concerned about endangered families and neighborhoods, the threat to economic recovery posed by a depressed housing market or corporate accountability than about the supposed dangers of renegotiating mortagage amounts – even with the bubble-inflated and deceptive mortgages that were common in the years leading up to the meltdown.
Under DeMarco, the FHFA has gone so far as to block short sales that would allow borrowers to hold on to their own homes, even when the current homeowner or someone willing to sell to them submits the highest bid. Short sales of this kind can be a "win-win for both sides – more money for the mortgage lender and a family that saves their home," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., wrote after one egregious case of this kind in Massachusetts. "But the FHFA flatly refuses these deals. The agency's so-called 'arm's-length' policy means that it will instead demand that the family be moved out and the home be sold at a lower-priced foreclosure sale."
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should the Federal Government Provide Support to the Mortgage Market?]
DeMarco was also behind his agency's resistance to a Treasury Department request to provide debt relief, with Treasury paying most of the cost. DeMarco explained that he was concerned about the burden on taxpayers. His analysis was disputed by a number of experts including the economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman; in any case, Krugman added, "deciding whether debt relief is a good policy for the nation as a whole is not DeMarco's job … If the Secretary of the Treasury, acting on behalf of the president, believes that it is in the national interest to spend some taxpayer funds on debt relief … the agency's director has no business deciding on his own that he prefers not to act."
With better leadership, the FHFA could be a powerful force for good, bolstering efforts to prevent foreclosuresand stabilize the housing market and the wider economy. And this week, the Senate will be in a position to give the agency that better leadership, by confirming Rep. Mel Watt of North Carolina as FHFA Director.
A real estate and business lawyer before he went into politics, Watt was one of the first members of Congress to decry the predatory mortgage lending practices that fueled the subprime mortgage boom. Over the span of two decades in the House, Watt has been a housing-policy leader, working with members on both sides of the aisle. He has won endorsements from both Republican Sen. Richard Burr of Alabama and Warren; his many other backers include National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform Chair Erskine Bowles; former Bank of America chairman and CEO High McColl; National Association of Realtors President Gary Thomas and National Association of Home Builders Chairman Rick Judson. The nomination's backers also include Consumers Union, the NAACP and the AFL-CIO.
On the other side, some opponents of this nomination are making the absurd claim that Watt is not qualified. Maybe what they are really concerned about is his strong record of standing up to predatory lending when Wall Street was peddling it hard.
Dory Rand is the president of the Woodstock Institute, a research and policy nonprofit focused on fair lending, wealth creation, and financial systems reform.

Allenstown officials cut 150 units from curbside pickup
"We're in the process of contracting with outside vendors instead of our highway department to reduce the cost to the town," he said. "We had to draw a line someplace, in terms of which types of apartment buildings we would provide trash pickup for and which ones we couldn't."
"In trying to obtain a reasonable contract with outside vendors, our goal was to have all the trash picked up in one day," said Mulholland, "and if we had kept the ordinance the same, which would have added 150 more stops, it would have required the vendor to bring a crew in for another day (at an additional cost to the town)."
"By contracting out, we're going to save hundreds of thousands over a 10-year period, and that's a conservative calculation," he said. "Obviously health insurance and retirement costs are already high and, of course, we expect they're only going to get higher, but even projecting (the next 10 years) at today's numbers, and then factoring in vehicle insurance and maintaince costs ... we're going to see significant savings."
"If they are residents, they can bring their trash to our landfill at no charge, or the landlords can contract with private contractor" he said. "The reality is these are commercial buildings. These landlords own buildings, so they can contract out if they'd like to continue offering trash pickup."

Hinesville, GA-- As more troops prepare to deploy to the Persian Gulf they are getting training that could save their lives in a chemical weapons attack.
If we go to war with Iraq, it will be because President Bush thinks Saddam Hussein has and may use chemical and nuclear weapons. So American troops have to be prepared.
At Ft. Stewart, every soldier goes through NBC, or Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical training. Each is issued a protective suit, designed to protect him from weapons of mass destruction.
The troops have to be able to get their mask in place within nine seconds. They have eight minutes to get the entire suit on. To be confident that the suits work, they enter a room containing CS gas, which is used in riot control.
The troops have to remove their masks, to prove just how well they are working. At that point, there's lots of coughing, sneezing, and tearing of the eyes, but they say it's a small price to pay for the assurance that they'll be safe.

At the heart of the ongoing immigration reform debate is the question of the anticipated costs and benefits of reform. Assessing the impact of various reform proposals on economic growth, wages, and federal and state budgets is critical to making an informed judgment as to whether enactment of reform is in the best interests of the country.
Two late additions to Congress's response to the financial crisis have proved to be among the most complex and challenging for U.S. financial regulators to put into place. The degree of difficulty these two rules present, their unknown impact on financial markets and the economy, and the lack of international coordination surrounding them have led to continued regulatory delay with promulgating these two rules.
The Middle East remains a major foreign policy challenge for the United States, despite attempts to pivot away from it. A cooperative and strong Turkey could be an important partner in helping rebuild the Middle East.
In partnership with USA TODAY, the Bipartisan Policy Center examined attitudes about voting and the electoral process among Americans and released the third in a series of national polls by Whit Ayres and Mark Mellman. The poll includes measures of participation in the last presidential election and primary elections generally as well as potential changes to the electoral process such as redistricting and election administration reforms.
Because of the structure of defense spending, our national security forces and defense industry have been able to continue operating under sequestration, but not without permanent damage. The full brunt of the cuts hasn't hit yet, and if we go down the sequester path for too long, we won't be able to reverse the devastating impacts.

"Jeremy Rifkin, author of The Age of Access (2000), … says the value and margins are shifting away from products into access to these experiences. He offers the example of a sprinkler company that now uses satellite weather information to provide the ideal watering to customers' lawns. Instead of buying a sprinkling system, customers buy the access to "sprinkling." He also cites the example of Carrier shifting its view from selling air conditioners to selling "air conditioning." When it is selling a product, its incentive is to sell the largest BTU air conditioner (with highest price and margins) without consideration for how efficiently it is used by the purchaser. In contrast, if the customer is paying for the experience of cool air, and Carrier is responsible for paying for energy costs, the company has a strong incentive to tightly seal the home and deliver cooling in the most efficient way possible.
Mix-and-match environmental regulation
As noted in the Carrier example, the evolution of these customer relationships to focus on access could lead to greater corporate responsibility for a range of environmental issues.
But a mix-and-match car could lead to a more difficult environment for environmental compliance, because it would be harder to affix responsibility or blame to a single manufacturer when, say, Honda produces the engine and Ford creates a body. The focus of regulation in that scenario may be on the company such as buildyourowncar.com that brings it all together. MacDuffie points out that, as we have seen with the Bridgestone-Firestone tire problems on the Ford Explorers, the ultimate assembler of the product will be held responsible—as well as the makers of the components. "The liability issues will be pinned down fairly precisely," he said."
Ultimately the end-user pays for all this no matter where in the supply chain it gets loaded!
As long as the customer does not/cannot have a choice in deciding on technologies but yet needs the facility (car) she will have no choice but to pay it all. Since competitors also do not have any solutions the customer lives in a choice-less choice world. When recession as we are experiencing now puts it beyond the customer and has a knock on effect on demand only then there will be a thrust towards Clean Development Mechanisms.

People ▪ Prosperity ▪ Planet
Welcome to the P3 Workgroup website!
The P3 workgroup at Rochester Institute of Technology was founded in Spring 2004 by faculty and students in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering. The purpose of this effort is to advance sustainability by increasing the level of awareness on all sustainability dimensions among students, so that they can later make a positive impact on our planet and society. Alumni from our group are particularly sensitive with respect to how our actions and decisions alter the ecological footprint, poverty and overall biological capacity of the earth.
We achieve these goals via course teaching, research (master theses and independent studies), undergraduate multidisciplinary design teams, volunteer work, international collaborations, trips to developing countries, as well as through publications, seminars and conference presentations. Topics of utmost interest to the group are U.N. Millennium goals, alternative sources of energy (biodiesel and solar, among others), life cycle assessment, green logistics, as well as solar-based cookers and water pasteurizers. The roots and the name of this effort originates from the P3 philosophy of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) encompassing people, prosperity and planet This a more global and comprehensive definition of sustainability that the previous P2 effort (pollution prevention).
If you would like to become involved with the P3 Workgroup, please contact Dr. Andres Carrano or Dr. Brian Thorn. If you are interested in the student chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW), please contact Mr. Christopher Wood. (chapter President). Most links in this page are still under construction, but much of the information and pictures can be seen at the ESW site above.

I have to say the Shimano cleat system is light, cheap and it works. If you need a cleat system that you don't not want to spend $200 this is the way to go.
I do have to say that these cleats do not last very long. I am a weekend rider and I have to say they usually only last me about 3 to 6 months. I did find a trick to make my cleats last a little longer. Instead of replacing both, one is usually worn out more than the other, I just rotate the cleats and put the less used one on the foot with the one that has been used more. This way you can get full use out of both cleats which also saves you $ in the end.

I have used this type of cleat almost exclusively over the years. It has a large platform that makes me feel more secure when out of the saddle and climbing. With the sale, these were about half the cost I've paid for domestic replacement cleats.

I've been using Shimano pedals and cleats as long as I can remember. The cleats are great that when Shimano updated their pedals, the cleats stayed the same so I don't have to fork out $$ for 3 sets of cleats. I've used PD540, PD6600 and PD6700. They all work well. Sometimes I wonder why does shimano not bring out cleat covers like Look or Speedplay? But anyway, it's never a deal breaker

In the summer of 2010, Huntington-Whiteley was suddenly on Hollywood's radar when rumors started flying that she was on the short list of actresses to replace Megan Fox as Shia LaBeouf's love interest in the third installment of the blockbuster action film, "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." Fox, who starred in both of the film's previous releases, reportedly left the franchise on her own volition. But insiders claimed that she left due to growing friction between her and the film's director Michael Bay, whom the actress allegedly likened to a tyrant on set. Shortly after news of Fox's departure broke, talks turned to whom the likely replacement would be. Aside from Huntington-Whiteley - who ... Continue Bio >>

Susan Baldwin goes to the limit to find answers for her clients. An out-of-the-box thinker, she is decisive, forthcoming, and forceful - with a friendliness that gives you confidence.
Follow-through and problem-solving are typical of Susan. Her naturally calming nature belies her "I'm going to get the deal done" mentality, which she brings to all of her clients and their transactions.
This attitude, along with being detail oriented and numbers savvy, has garnered her great success as well as the title of senior vice president at Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty, where she has been an associate since 2002. From the beginning there, she has partnered with Ginger Nobles, also a senior vice president and a real estate veteran of over 30 years. Their combined talents and experiences make them consistent top producers for the company, and in 2012 they earned the distinction of the top team producers.
A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in accounting, Susan brings to real estate her financial acumen and the experience of working for a prestigious accounting firm. Later graduating from SMU Law School, she practiced law in Dallas for over 10 years.
Susan then moved with her husband and family to Darien, Connecticut, and returned four years later to Dallas. This gave her invaluable knowledge about the vicissitudes of corporate relocation - and about how to smooth the process for her own corporate clients. She and her husband have also renovated and sold several homes, additional experience that she uses in helping clients do the same.
Susan specializes, along with Ginger, in the Park Cities, Bluffview, Preston Hollow and north Dallas neighborhoods, as well as Plano, Frisco, Southlake and surrounding areas. Their partnership has generated sales in all price ranges, from $200,000 to the highest published sale to date in the Metroplex, listed at $22,500,000 in 2007.
Susan is committed to community service and is active in Park Cities schools, the Junior League of Dallas and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. She is on the board of Educational First Steps. She is married to Jim Baldwin, an attorney, and they live in the Park Cities. They have two daughters.

Frequently Asked
I need a hearing aid and cannot afford one. Where can I get help?
If you are eligible for DRS services and you need a hearing aid to become employed or to stay independent in your home or community, your DRS counselor will talk with you about the best way to obtain a hearing aid.
If you are not eligible for DRS services (or if working is not your goal), you can contact these places to find out more about obtaining low-cost or no-cost hearing services:
- The West Virginia Children's Hearing Services Project can provide hearing aid services and supplies for children from birth to 18 years who lack insurance coverage and/or credible coverage for this benefit. Not eligible are children who have Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance, or commercial coverage that pays at least the Medicaid rate.
- Kids First provides hearing aids and supplies for hearing-impaired children ages 3, 4, 5 or 6 who do not have insurance that covers this benefit.
- Hear Now is a national non-profit program committed to assisting those permanently residing in the U.S. who are deaf or hard of hearing and have no other resources to acquire hearing aids.
- Local civic groups sometimes sponsor projects to assist people with vision and hearing loss. In Kanawha County and all adjacent counties, for example, the Quota Club has recycled and repaired used hearing aids for more than 25 years, giving them to people in need. For information about their program, write:
Quota Club International, Inc.
P.O. Box 1055
Charleston, WV 25324
Nationwide, the Foundation for Sight and Sound, through its Help America Hear Program (HAH), provides hearing aids for men, women, and children with limited financial resources.
Six West Virginia centers for independent living offer referral services and can sometimes arrange to purchase hearing aids for eligible individuals.
What if I need a sign language interpreter for a job interview?
Working through your rehabilitation counselor, the Division can arrange for an interpreter to assist you.
Does WVDRS pay for college or vocational training?
DRS is not a primary funding source for post-secondary education, but may assist with certain costs after the student has applied for scholarships and grants.

Not sweet noodle kugel recipe needed
My father has requested a noodle kugel like his mother used to make. This means no sugar, raisins, pineapple, cornflake crumbs---something he can eat with salt and pepper. Since I don't remember my grandmother's kugel ( my mother's was always sweet and his complaints were a running family joke)
I'm not sure if I just follow the recipe for the sweet kugel but leave out the embellishments.
Is there a good recipe for what he wants?
Growing up in a kosher home, it was not allowed to make a sweet, dairy noodle kugel for Shabbat, as we had either pot roast or chicken. My grandmother used to make a noodle kugel which was "fleschig" with some schmaltz or pan drippings (you can sub canola oil), sauteed onion, mushrooms, other veggies (green peppers, carrots, zuchinni, etc) and a couple of eggs. She seasoned it with salt and pepper and baked it for about 45 min till the top was golden brown. If this appeals to you, let me know and I can dig up some proportions.
re: Diane in Bexley
re: Diane in Bexley
re: jvanderh
This is approximate as Grandma never wrote anythng down (neither did I):
Grease thoroughly 9X13 dish
16 oz package very wide egg noodles, cooked and drained
1 large onion, chopped in 1 in cubes
3-4 carrots, scraped, cleaned and diced in 1 in cubes
3-4 zuchinni, diced in 1 in cubes
8 oz mushrooms, button or variety of wild, cleaned and sliced
1/2 cup canola oil (I think eVOO is a little too strong), chicken schmaltz might work
3 eggs, whipped
s&p, 2 tsp freshly chopped garlic
In large frying pan, saute onions, mushrooms and all vegetables for 10-15 min till al dente. Vegetables should be about the same size so they will cook and combine evenly. Combine with seasoning, oil/fat and eggs in large bowl, fill 9X13 pan. Bake at 350 for 30-40 min till top is crusty.
In my family, there were always two kugels made during the holidays: one sweet (brown sugar, raisins, etc.) and one pepper- appeals to both the Polish and Russian tastes in the family.
Directions can't be simpler: prep the noodles, cool and add eggs. Grease the baking pan. Season with salt, a bit of cayenne and lots of ground pepper. Mix thoroughly and into the pan. Top it with lots of paprika so you know it's savoury, then bake. Simple.
Putting in other aromatics like sweated-off onion and garlic could only help make it better.
There is a very good recipe in Joan Nathan's "Jewish Cooking in America" cookbook. With spinach and cheese...I made it only once about 10 years ago, but it was really tasty. I'm not sure if that fits what you want (or if you keep kosher, it would be acceptable with your meal). I usually make my mother/grandmothers recipe with sugar/raisins/apples/pineapple which is why I haven't made the Nathan recipe again.
Seems to be standard ratios
4 C wide flat cooked noodles and 3 eggs
Or 3 C noodles and 4 eggs.
To the first you add cottage cheese, sour cream, yogurt, or and cream cheese to the custard with additions of your fav leftovers!
To the second (the most traditional, I think) you add 3/4 C fat...chicken, goose, duck or butter.
Mix, and bake at 350 until golden.
Melissa Clark's mother's crispy potato kugel withe rosemary and fried shallots sounds yummy; I found multiple websites with it including the AARP!
