Cleveland Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson making positive strides
INDEPENDENCE — The Cavaliers have many needs.
It's not a fluke that they've lost eight of their 10 games.
Chief among their needs are players who can shoot and score. When the season is over — and they are once again interested in building a contending team — they'll need to acquire a post presence. They need a player they can feed the ball on the low post and he can actually put it in the basket.
If that post player is a scorer, all the better.
Center Anderson Varejao is playing out of his mind. He's averaging 14.3 points and 13.1 rebounds, both career highs. He's also shooting a team-high 53.9 percent from the field. When it's time to assemble the Eastern Conference All-Star team, it's going to be difficult to leave him off it.
However, he's not a low-post threat, and neither is power forward Tristan Thompson.
Many wonder if the 6-foot-9, 235-pound Thompson is starting to turn the corner. He comes into Wednesday's home game against Philadelphia averaging 9.7 points and 8.5 rebounds and shooting 45.2 percent from the field. He's playing 31.3 minutes per game.
Cavs coach Byron Scott said he thinks Thompson can be a double-double guy.
He has been that guy in each of the previous two games when he's averaged 12 points and 12.5 rebounds. He has three double-doubles in the first 10 games this season.
Positive strides? Absolutely. Continued...
Is he that stud power forward the Cavs desperately need? Not even close. He still hasn't shown he can shoot 10 feet from the basket and has stopped blocking shots with any regularity. He's very robotic with his movements around the basket.
"You always want to continue getting better," Thompson said. "For myself there's a long way to go. The season is long. Sometimes I'm there, sometimes I'm not. I just have to stay consistent on the defensive end.
"If there's one thing you can always change in the game and something that's always there, it's how you play defensively. So I have to continue doing that."
He's been decent defensively, even though he's averaging just 0.3 blocks per game. The Cavs want him to concentrate on hitting the boards.
Thompson has scored in double figures in six consecutive games. A winning streak hasn't ensued, however, as the Cavs have lost all six games. In that stretch, he's averaged 11.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.0 steal.
"He's progressing OK," Scott said. "He's had his ups and downs. With all our guys, we'd like more consistency, starting with the defensive end first."
The second-year forward wants the Cavs to stay upbeat despite the losing streak.
"It's definitely tough, especially when you're in the game and you lose a close one. We're competing and not letting guys walk all over us, but we've just got to put in a good 48 minutes and close it out."
Defense is the name of the game for the Cavs. When they actually defend, they can compete with most teams.
"There are a lot of things we've got to work on," Thompson said. "One thing in particular is our halfcourt defense. We've got to continue to pressure guys, stay in our coverages, and not get lost. Continued...
"We have to stay locked in for all 24 seconds (of the shot clock) and close out with the rebound."
Thompson will continue to get major minutes, since both Samardo Samuels and Jon Leuer have played their way out of Scott's rotation. Scott has been pairing 7-foot Tyler Zeller and 6-11 Varejao together for longer stretches.
Thompson suffered a nasal fracture in the Sixers game. An X-ray at the Cleveland Clinic on Monday revealed the fracture. He will have a protective mask fitted and is projected to be ready to play in Wednesday's game at The Q also vs. the Sixers.
Backup center Tyler Zeller, who is recovering from a fractured cheekbone and concussion, is currently playing with a mask.
Turkey giveaway
Thompson staged a turkey giveaway for 150 pre-selected families in the Cleveland area Monday night at Historic Greater Friendship Baptist Church, 12305 Arlington Ave., Cleveland.
With support from Giant Eagle, Thompson provided turkey and all the fixings for the families.
Quick shots
• Guard Dion Waiters' field-goal percentage has dipped to 38.8 percent from the field. He's made just nine of his last 45 attempts.
• Valuable backup guard Daniel Gibson missed Sunday's game with a sore elbow. He had reached double figures in scoring in four of his previous five games. In those five games, he's averaging 12.6 points and is shooting 48.3 percent from the 3-point arc (14 of 29). Continued...
• Swingman C.J. Miles was pressed into action with Gibson held out of Sunday's game. Miles continues to shoot bricks, as he made just 1 of 8 from the field against Philadelphia. He's down to 21.8 percent from the field. Only Luke Walton's 14.3 percent is worse on the team. Before the Sixers game, Miles was benched for three consecutive games.

3. | Ramones | ||
BEST PUNK BAND THAT EVER LIVED! Many Classic songs, the true inventors of punk and the best songs i've ever heard. NO ONE is as good as them with 3 chords and simple songs. Easy to play, yet no one can match them. Blitzkrieg Bop, Teenage Lobotomy, I just wanna have something to do, Beat on the Brat, 53rd and 3rd, Commando
1. | ramones | ||
The best punk band that ever lived, one I would sell my soul to see live, but can't, because the lead singer (Joey Ramone) died. they were incepted in 1974 and gave their final concert in 1996.
Members of the band; Joey (vocals), Johnny (guitar), Dee Dee (lyrics, bass) Tommy (drums), Marky (drums after Tommy left) and CJ. The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame, but Joey did not live to see this--he died of lymphatic cancer on April 15, 2002. the Ramones were inducted a year later, and 2 months after the ceremony Dee Dee died, on June the 5th. Some songs include Teenage Lobotomy, Pinhead, The KKK Took My Baby Away, Rock and Roll High School, and others. See www.ramones.com for more info on band members, discography, etc. the Corner of Bowery and 2nd Street in NYC was recently names "Joey Ramone Place" in honor of the great man. They are the founding fathers of today's punk culture, and they added numerous dimensions to the world of punk of today. If you are a poser you only pretend to like the Ramones because other people do. best punk band ever
2. | Ramones | ||
The punk rock band that would stomp all sorts of ass into these nu-fake punk rock bands. Joey is a god. Gabba Gabba Hey! - Joey
4. | Ramones | ||
The inventors of punk rock - NOT the Sex Pistols or The Clash.
Most California pop-punkers base thier sound and lyrics on these guys, but none of them can match the style, wit and class of the originals! "Beat on The Brat, Beat on the Brat, Beat on the Brat with a Baseball Bat! - Oh Yeah, Oh Yeh-haa..."
5. | ramones | ||
Greatest punk band ever. They started the punk scene but they did not set out by calling themselves punks. They formed the band to bring back rock n roll. They were a reaction to there being nothing decent to listen to on the radio, it was all Led Zepplin with their 20 minute soloes. The Ramones played fast but this did not mean their music wasn't as good, they still had the greatest sound ever whilst playing it faster than most people can. Go out and buy The Ramones - Anthology and listen to the second disk for their best songs ever, in my opinion.
6. | Ramones | ||
BEST PUNK ROCK BAND EVER!!! FIRST PUNK ROCK BAND EVER!!! buy the their toughest hits album, its the bomb.also, on blitzkrieg bop, people always edit the word "shoot", dont do that, its not a happy song, ITS A PUNK SONG, which is happy and not at the same time, get it? hey, ho, lets go!(x4) they're forming in a straight line, going through a tight wind, the kids are losing their minds, blitzkrieg bop........ (rest on lyrics.com)

the band that punk rock died with after the break-up of the band and after the death fo joey ramone who was go himself (weird thing he died onmy friend's 10th birthday)after the deat fo joey ramone there wasn't a single punk band ever i mean seriously simple plan? good charlotte? yellowcard? people these days think that's actual punk pish shaaaa that's a buncha b.s. i can barely consider that music the ramones were the best band ever

I'm surprised he wasn't already spoiled on Tavros calling on Rufio and dressing up as Peter Pan. All the beter!
I'm REALLY curious as to what his reaction is to Tavros as it becomes more and more apparent that he was a huge chicken about everything.
I mean, I was cool with Tavros at this point, too. It wasn't until after Vriska's ascension that I actually started hating his guts.
Now though I'm kinda cool with him. It seems he's going to work toward redeeming himself somewhat.
So what yor saying is the current Tavros delevopment is solely because Dante is reading the comic?

Do you have a weekly avatar for me based on the AmebaCat? Let me know.

So you noticed, too?
This may have always been a part of Hussie's overall plan, but I've done enough Spur-of-the-moment plot changes in my own games to know that oftentimes these things are pretty malleable. The worst we can do is point and call bullshit, and then get shrugged off with a "I planned this the entire time".
I think the plan for Gamzee to do something with the bodies had been around well before Dante started to read Homestuck. As the "Don't turn your back on the body" and Gamzee macking on Tavros's head was around prior to him reading it...
You know, 30 Rock's characters are how I learned to understand troll relationships.
this signeture has been HIDEN, becuse it is large
Oh my god I wish this beat out Kids Next Door for "The Big Pick". So cool >:I
If it wasn't obvious Dante did voicing
I don't know how to feel about this. Other than:Originally Posted by dante

Welp, he's the begun the massive block that is Act 5 Act 2.
Let's see how his reactions will be with this one.
A Member of the Midnight Crew
Actually from what i am reading, there were in two diff Big Pick contests, the first one Billy and Mandy won. But losing doesn't mean it couldn't have been made into a show, Megas XLR didn't win and got signed for a show of its own. So did Robot Jones (though both shows were short lived).
Though, retrospectivly, Kitty Bobo had a cool art style, akin to the classic Pink Panther cartoons. But, I would think a slice-of-life show about "20 somethings" would be lost on 8 year old children.
Well, shit.
Is that one of the people from "Let's Read Homestuck"?

Question: if there is another Fionna and Cake episode, Flame Prince should be voiced by Dante, correct?
He looks like a voiced-by-dante.
At one point I believe the character designer said on her tumblr that she would've liked for Dante to voice Marshall Lee.
I think Flame Prince would be a pretty good fit too!

Im a 30 year old guy who had a motorcycle crash 6 years ago when I had a compound fracture on my right thigh. They had to put a rod thru the bone (from the hip joint) and screwed it in at both ends. It took about 2 months for recovery, and I got back to almost normal soon enough. Limitations were (and still are) that I could never put too much weight on the right leg, as it would start paining and pinching where the screws were, and also near the hip joint, where the rod was kept a bit out of the bone (My surgeon said its easier to remove later)
I started regularly cycling some two years back and for the last three months was putting in about 200Kms a week and trying to maintain averages around 30Kph, means I was pushing as hard as I could. Some days back I noticed that my left quads are way bigger than the ones on my broken right leg, which freaked me out. So I went to a surgeon who took X-rays and everything seems good (no broken or bent rod, no broken screws, bone seems to have healed good) and we have planned out a surgery this month end. He says that recovery should not take time, maybe two weeks or so.
Are there others who have had an implant removal here? Id like to know how the recovery was, was any physiotherapy required, and is everything back to normal, rather better than when the implant was in? Ive heard that the length of the leg sometimes shortens out a bit too, which is so not cool!
Would be great to hear some thoughts on this

People deciding whether to switch energy companies could be swayed by news that wind farm development could create thousands of new jobs.
Mike O'Brien, the energy minister, said that many jobs could be created by ports and investors which get involved in supplying the labour and raw materials needed to establish new wind farms.
He went on to say that the UK is keen to become the biggest investor in offshore wind projects in the world.
Addressing a meeting between the Department of Energy and Climate Change and a range of business and individuals connected to wind farm development, Mr O'Brien said: "Britain's ports could become the hub of activity and economic opportunity as we massively increase the amount of renewable energy we get from our seas - and could be key to constructing and transporting wind technology."
Building more wind farms throughout the UK could result in cheaper energy prices while also contributing to a reduced national carbon footprint.
Corporate commitment to wind technology has been thrown into doubt recently as the recession has made the significant investment necessary for wind farm development much riskier.

A one-vehicle accident late Monday night has claimed the life of yet another Sampson County teenager, this one believed to be a student at the Early College.
According to N.C. Highway Patrol reports, Elizabeth Barefoot, 18, of 616 McLamb St., Roseboro, died as a result of the one-vehicle accident which happened around 11 p.m. Monday on Boykin Bridge Road.
Barefoot, reports show, was traveling west on Boykin Bridge Road, toward Fayetteville, when she crossed the center line and struck a ditch, causing the vehicle to overturn and hit a tree.
She and her passenger, Bethany Pilkington, 18, of 2098 Big Piney Grove Road, Clinton, were taken to Sampson Regional Medical Center for treatment.
Barefoot, Highway Patrol Trooper Bryan Smith said, was being transferred from Sampson Regional to another area hospital when she reportedly died from the injuries sustained in the accident.
Amber Cava marketing director for Sampson Regional Medical Center, said Pilkington was transferred from SRMC to UNC Hospitals in stable condition. An update on her condition from UNC was not immediately available. It was just over a month ago that Pilkington was involved in another accident. In that incident, she was the driver and a passenger, 16-year-old Lakewood High student Ronald Lucas, was killed.
Monday night's accident is the 14th on Sampson County highways this year and the third involving a high school student in less than two months.
Last year, 14 people were killed on county roadways during all of 2011.

Wonderful Piece! -
Daywalker1701, Madison, WI - 12/14/2011
Received within 5 days, and loved it at first sight! The engraving of the words on the ring was a trifle smaller than I envisioned, but is perfect given the width of the piece. I got a size larger than normal to wear on different fingers and it is super comfy on any from pointer to ring finger on either hand. A perfect booster when U get a little down!
Exquisite Piece! -
Renee, Mzadison, WI - 12/13/2011
Received the ring within 5 days of order, and was so pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but what I received is absolutely beautiful. The engraving is a little smaller than I envisioned, but is perfect for the size of the ring! It serves as a wonderful constant reminder of all that's beautiful about life!

I would like to start a discussion about the business-layer and its relation within the model-layer.
There was once a time, I 've thought of seperating those, following the three tier architecture (Presentation, business, implementation), but this is wrong I guess.
Currently I think the business-layer includes the model-layer, making the model-layer a part of the business-layer.
The achitecture of my current project looks like this:
Model: 4 Hibernate persisted object classes
Plain Business: One CoreModel interface providing access to additional model-related operations, like to create new objects, to delete them (make them transient) or to perform some complex queries. It becomes an mediator for several daos and controls some advanced transaction managements.
Implementation-Layer: Hibernate related stuff (two classes, Spring hibernate support is just great)
Daos: Four Dao implementations (are they part of the business or the implementation layer?)
There is also another interface used for remote access of a complex client application. I also consider this to be part of the business-layer.
So the question remains: Are my thoughts ok?

I learned this project from Jeanette at Needlework Hideaway Spring 2012 retreat. What a great way to learn new things and see new projects as well as hear some incredible stories!
Materials list:
12½" x width of fabric main color
18½" x width of fabric background color (be sure to purchase more than 18″ so you have trim – mine finished 17″ because I didn't)
2 buttons for trim
Cut fabric. My main color is a stripe that runs the length of the fabric so I purchased 1½ yards and cut it 12½" x 44″ centering the stripes in the 12½" and cutting on the straight of the print rather than the straight of the grain. I trimmed one end after I got the side seams sewn.
With right sides together and using a ¼" seam sew the fabric together on the long sides.
Turn right side out and arrange until the borders are the same width then press.
Fold the piece in half the long way with the main color to the inside of the fold and stitch the ends closed using a ¼" seam.
Open the fold with the flaps to the front and work them out evenly. Fold the points down over the front of the runner and tack them in place or sew the buttons to the points to secure and you're done! (I made yoyos with the main color and sewed the buttons thru the middle of the yoyo and thru the point to the back of the runner. I like the dimension the yoyo adds.)
Took me more than 10 minutes but it was quick…

What's The Worst That Could Happen? RF Communication Disasters
The morning of December 4, 2011 began normally for the team of Air Force technicians. As they settled into their shift flying unmanned aircraft over Afghanistan, perhaps they chatted casually and swapped stories from the weekend. Very soon, however, their conversations were interrupted by shrill alarm sirens blaring from their control monitors. The video screen on the wall, which normally displayed real-time video imagery from their stealth RQ-170 drone, was now completely black. By Michael Clonts, Product Manager, RT Logic
Accurate System Level Design With Low Noise Amplifier's BlackBox Models
System level simulations are not easy. Adding individual integrated or discrete component's foundry/supplier kits to the system simulation adds complexity. Through Skyworks' BlackBox model for its SKY67151-396LF LNA, which does not include any extra modeling kits, you can accurately simulate and predict small and large signal performance.

Power Envelope Tracking For Mobile Power Amplifiers
Have you heard the story about the guy who had to recharge his 4G phone twice a day? Unfortunately, he was not happy with his phone. This story has been happening as the demand for high-speed data increases and battery capacity has not matched advances with communications technology. It's not the battery at fault but the technology needed to power the amplifier on the phone.
A Multiphysics Approach To Magnetron And Microwave Oven Design
The magnetrons used in microwave ovens operate on the same frequency band as Wi-Fi equipment, and the radiation they release can interfere with the operation of wireless networks. This paper presents a multiphysics simulation of a magnetron using CST STUDIO SUITE®, with the aim of testing the electrical, magnetic, thermal and mechanical characteristics of a low-interference magnetron design. The simulation results are then compared to measurements made experimentally, and the two sets of results are shown to be in good agreement.

Deforestation monitoring needs better capacity and access to technologies
Flickr/Papa Goiaba
Most tropical developing countries are struggling to monitor and report their greenhouse gas emissions from forest loss, and will need international support to implement the UN REDD+ scheme, according to a study.
The Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) scheme aims to reverse forest cover loss and curb related carbon emissions by putting a financial value on stored carbon.
REDD+ was agreed at Cancun in 2010 and added conservation, sustainable forest management and enhancing forest carbon stocks to the REDD framework.
Countries voluntarily report back on their implementation of REDD+, but many lack the capacity to monitor forest loss and carbon emissions using key technologies such as satellite remote sensing, according to a paper in the May–June issue of Environmental Science and Policy.
The study ranked tropical developing countries according to their ability to implement REDD+, and found that few such countries had improved their monitoring capacity between 2005 and 2010, with some even losing capacity, such as Burkina Faso and Mozambique.
African countries were of most concern, as poor Internet connections and satellite coverage limit access to data. Meanwhile, mountainous countries such as Ecuador and Peru face technical challenges in analysing satellite images in areas with significant variations in altitude.
Just four of the 99 analysed countries — Argentina, China, India and Mexico — had very small capacity gaps. These countries had also managed to increase their total forest cover between 2005 and 2010, unlike countries with larger gaps, where there was a net loss of forests in the same period.
The paper recommends that the former group of countries could serve as advisors in South-South capacity building activities and regional collaboration efforts that could reduce the cost of accessing, processing and analysing remote sensing data.
The international community should invest in better access to satellite data, especially for Central African and American countries, the study further recommended. Monitoring of forest fires and vulnerable high-carbon areas, such as tropical peatland systems in South-East Asia which are being lost to oil palm and pulpwood plantations, was also identified as a priority.
Louis Verchot, a co-author of the study from the Center for International Forestry Research in Bogor, Indonesia, called for swift efforts to close capacity gaps.
He told SciDev.Net that investment in countries suffering such gaps could yield high returns.
"We laid out the study on a country by country basis, so this should help investors to lay out priorities and help target different types of intervention," Verchot added.
The study provides useful insights on developing a steady emission reduction scheme for REDD+, said Nirarta Samadhi from Indonesia's REDD+ Task Force. He said it highlighted important details about capability gaps that would be valuable to global supporters.

There is no time left to be fooling about with more reports on greenhouse gas relative to forest loss and the REDD+ programs. We all know enough now to demand that we cease and desist from any further deforestation for many reasons, the least of which is climate change, not to mention all the life and ecosystems being devastated that ultimately impact we humans and indigenous peoples. Further deforestation is a no-win for life and the planet. The only win is for profits and we just have to find a biodegradable alternative to timber for consumer needs. The palm oil and agriculture can be addressed without destruction of forests. A better use of our time and money. We can continue to kick the bucket down the road with dates like 2020 or find a way to have a global moratorium on forest destruction NOW...and that will require courage and cooperation from all levels. The matter is urgent. Then you can do all the reports, analysis and studies you want, once the destruction has ceased. A lot of food for thought here and willingness to move beyond our vested interests and old positions for the betterment and good of all life on this planet.
Jorge Laine ( Venezuela )
8 May 2012
Tropical deforestation does not necessarily mean eventual greenhouse gas increment. Scientists must look for land use changes promoting atmospheric carbon capture and storage: for example greening of deserts constituting almost 1/3 of earth nonpermafrost land.

Couple of interesting ones there: Jack Brooks refusing a new contract at Northants, I guess he thinks a Div 1 side would maybe raise his profile with a view to potential England honours, & Murray Goodwin being released from Sussex. No word of a retirement from Murray yet tho; wonder if he'll be picked up or (wishful thinking on my part, perhaps) make a belated Zimbabwean return.

Hopefully it means Woakes is in the short-term England plans (perhaps next cab off the rank should someone break down), and as such they don't want him off on tour. But that's undoubtedly wishful thinking.. |

More developments from the counties:
Sajid Mahmood and Chaminda Vaas released by Lancs and Northants; Alex Gidman steps down as Gloucs skipper (no surprise, they finished bottom of Div 2); Jon Batty retires after 18 seasons, the last three at Gloucs. Useful keeper-batsman (quite a boring batsman though) who in another era probably would've got a go for England. |

To add to Lancashire's gloom, 70s stalwart Harry Pilling has died. Renowned for his short stature, it always raised a smile to see him batting with 6'4" Clive Lloyd.

Ivy sighed heavily, her arms crossed as she walked into the abandoned warehouse. She wore a long brown trench coat and matching fedora to cover her signature red hair and green, leafy outfit, just in case. There was a table set up with a few chairs, and she walked over, sitting down in one and shrugging off the jacket and placing the hat on the table. She crossed her slender legs and placed her hands delicately in her lap. "Well, well, well… what are we going to do about this new… poison?" she smirked, unsure of what exactly to call this new product spreading across Gotham, her green eyes narrowed deviously under the dim lighting in the building.
She had agreed to meet up here only because of Harley. Like her little sister, Ivy always looked out for her. Unfortunately, Harley never seemed to go anywhere without the clown unless he tossed her off a roof or out in an alley. Ivy gritted her teeth just thinking about it. She hated that mad, smiling face of his. Hopefully he had some insight into the exact mechanics of this new serum, however. Ivy had yet to get her hands on it, or she'd be able to study it and its effect to a T within a day… easy.

The 2013 winning fleets are true innovators when it comes to providing outstanding workplace experiences for their drivers.
Alexandria, Virginia (PRWEB) February 07, 2013
Twenty trucking companies from across North America have been named the 2013 Best Fleets to Drive For by the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) and CarriersEdge. The annual survey and contest, now in its fifth year, identifies for-hire trucking companies that provide the best workplace experiences for their drivers. This year's winners are as follows:
In addition, five companies have been identified as "Fleets to Watch" (honorable mentions) for demonstrating innovation in their driver programs:
The nomination process began in the fall of 2012, when company drivers and owner operators were asked to nominate carriers that operate 10 or more trucks. After confirming the validity of the nominations and the trucking companies' desire to participate, CarriersEdge interviewed human resources representatives and executives of the nominated fleets about their corporate direction, policies, and programs. Nominated fleets were evaluated against a scoring matrix covering a variety of categories, such as:
A selection of each fleet's drivers was also surveyed, with their feedback compared to management's and incorporated into the final score. The responses were then tallied, resulting in the selection of this year's winners and honorable mentions.
Mark Murrell, president of CarriersEdge, said: "It's a pleasure to report that we had a 50% increase in nominations and participation for the fifth anniversary of the program. Clearly, being named a Best Fleet to Drive For is a prestigious title that is motivating companies to constantly raise the bar on the offerings they provide their truck drivers."
The Yanke Group of Companies, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, holds the distinction of being the only company to be named a Best Fleet for all five years since the program was launched. "I think that's a real achievement, considering how much we've seen fleets improve their programs since we started," said TCA President Chris Burruss. "It's very difficult to get named a Best Fleet to begin with, let alone remain on the list for five consecutive years!"
Now that the winners have been named, the next phase of the contest is to announce the highest scoring fleets from each of two categories: Best Overall Fleet for Owner Operators and Best Overall Fleet for Company Drivers. These overall winners will be honored at the TCA Annual Convention, March 3-6, 2013, at the Wynn Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Years owned: 20
Satisfaction Rating:
"Old= good New=bad"
Old = good, New = bad. That is what I am mainly reading here on heat pumps whether they are made by Trane or anyone else. I am not an hvac tech, just a user with a rudimentary knowedge of home equipment/appliances. Whether the reliability is down to the crappy Chinese parts most equipment uses now (Btw the same thing is happening with refridgerators with Chinese made compressors and motherboards)or maybe the new enviro friendly regulations- different coolents etc. There is a smaller Trane unit installed on my condo, it has been serviced for routine stuff maybe 4 times in 20 years, other than that totally trouble free. Runs noisy sometimes and could be more efficent though- but hey it works!

"15 Year Old Trane XE1000"
Got a new Trane xe1000 Heat Pump in 1994. Air Handler had to be replaced around 1999. About 2 years ago, the coil started to corrode. Overall, the heat pump only needed about $500 in repairs in 15 years, but the air handler hasn't lasted for 10 years and now am having to replace the whole system since r22 will be hard to get after 12/31/2009. Would recommend seeing if there is a better system out there.

"Trane XL16i"
Installed Trane XL16i, variable spd, hw media filter, Aprilaire #600 in May 2006. Been very pleased with unit. Replaced unit cost us $240 per month on budget plan w/electric co. New unit lowered our bill to $170 per mo. (2400 sq ft home).I Have hand eczema, and the heat pump does not dry my skin as bad as gas in previous homes. This winter temps. are colder than previous years and will comment when temps fall below 10 degrees the heat pump shows signs of struggle, our thermostat is set at 65 and heat pump falls 3-5 degrees below the set temperature. I have Delonghi radiator heaters over the kid's vents to keep temps in their room warmer during this time. if you are located where temps fall in the 10 degree mark or lower, rec. to install back up furnace of gas/oil/ wood stove to keep your home warm. As with any brand of heat pump you have installed, the units are only as good as the contractor who installed it. Shop for a contractor first before choosing the brand, all units are built very well nowadays. We chose our contractor, and chose Trane due to the 10 yr warranty which other brands did not offer at the time.

"My new Trane Heat Pump and Furnace"
I just had today installed a xl16i heat pump along with an XV95 furnace for my St. Louis, MO climate. I'm very curious about some of the complaints listed below as I dropped a lot of dough on this sytem. I noticed one participant was from az. My understanding is if you think you may experience temp below 40 then you do need the air handler/furnace. Any thoughts?

Comments about Mavic Crossmax SX Wheels 2013:
You pay for what you get here and these wheels truly rock! Light, storng but yes, a bit spendy. THey look great too and work on everything from AM to FR to all but the craziest DH where you want something bombproof. However, I did see a few riders running these at the Rampage and so I can't imagine a better endorsement. I just wish the rim were a little wider to better accomodate bigger tires.
Best Uses
Comments about Mavic Crossmax SX Wheels 2013:
the only thing stronger than these in the mavic range are the legendary deemax wheels......
these fir a wide range of axle types out of the box.....off the top of my head the only axle type you will need to purchase adapters for will be quick release front forks. these will not fot 150 X 12 rear axles.
they are extremely strong and very stiff......they give good feedback with just the right amount of flex.......they will last a long time once taken care of.
they are painted, which will always be less durable than anodising, especially on wheels, but for the time they are good.
they are quite expensive, but for the strength they are worth it.
Best Uses
Comments about Mavic Crossmax SX Wheels 2013:
I love these wheels, I am running the 2012 version and they are awesome. So strong, stiff and light while also coming in an amazing looking package. The white rim makes the wheels and bike stand out so much & in a good way. Look wise these are some of the nicest looking wheelsets on the market (IMO).
In terms of durability the wheels are super stiff but no so much as a dedicated wheelset so they are perfect for freeriding and trail/all mountain riding. I also see a lot of the pro's using these on their slopestyle bikes as well so you know they hold up to abuse.
I've put these wheels through some abuse already and they come out still in perfect condition. I've had some hard flat landing and had no issues with pinchflats or any sort of damages to the wheels.
The only negative about them is that the rims and spokes look so good i kind of feel bad to ride them hard or when you load them onto the chairlift hooks.
If you want to make your bike standout and at the same time get a strong, stiff and reliable wheeelset these are the way to go. They aren't cheap but they are well worth the price.
Best Uses
Comments about Mavic Crossmax SX Wheels 2013:
I was bit of a skeptic when I bought these wheels as I have never owned any Mavic wheelsets. However, after using them for couple months now I am very impressed. Wheels are strong and light for its intended use. I'm pushing about 260+lbs when geared up and these wheels have been bombproof. I have used it for everything from xc to am riding. Only had to true the front wheel once and that's only because I'm very OCD when the wheels are out of true even a tiny bit. Only con I would have would be the price but IMHO they are every bit worth it. Mavic's MP3 warranty program will put your mind at ease too. By far the best upgrade I made to my FS bike.
Comments about Mavic Crossmax SX Wheels 2013:
Light strong stiff can be used for allmost anything. I weigh 155 with light touch. There on my Tazer Ht right now. I've done north star on them, bmx tracks, dj, am and learning a little trials with them. Hop up and off a picnic table. I've had wheels and it's harder to get hub like kings to be as light stiff strong and the width. Allmost 2 years old and no problems with my light weight.
Best Uses
Comments about Mavic Crossmax SX Wheels 2013:
Awesome performance even I'm 220 lbs, support all the abuse, The best of the best, call other bikers attention everywhere.
Best Uses
Comments about Mavic Crossmax SX Wheels 2013:
I used it for some rough all mountain riding and some big drop around 7ft. The wheels still holds up and very durable. I highly recommend this wheelset because it's light, strong, and nice!! Don't listen to people about the hubs problems. It's all lies

Heart Risks Rise With Thermometer
By: Megan Dobbs
Updated: August 4, 2010
Hendrick Medical Center Cardiologist Dr. Ralph McCleskey says a person's risk for heart problems can rise with the temperature. The hottest part of summer can be your peak risk for heart failure. Not only does the heat itself strain the heart, it often keeps people less active. Many people, understandably, do not want to be out in the extreme heat, so they fail to get up and get moving as often as is recommended to prevent heart disease.
Dr. McCleskey also says dry and humid heats affect the body differently. Humidity can often be more dangerous, because the body is less able to produce sweat when it is muggy. Since sweating is crucial in Summer months, Dr. McCleskey says the less humid days may take less of a toll on the body.

This book is the result of close mutual collaboration between the two authors since the latter part of the last century. Before that time, however, we had independently been working on parallel tracks for a couple of decades.
Victor H. Mair's interest in the subject of our joint researches was piqued when he first encountered the spectacular Machang phase Neolithic pot discussed in chapter two. Although it was generally interpreted by archaeologists as depicting a hermaphrodite, from the very beginning Victor strongly felt that the raised figure on the side of the pot was a woman displaying her genitalia. Miriam had similar feelings when, in the Lepenski Vir Museum in the Iron Gates region of the Danube, she saw the "fish-figure" described by the excavator as a male figure. This figure strongly resembled the Sheela na gigs, which Miriam had been researching in recent years. Very similar to the Machang

a couple more good recruiting years and randy might get the program back up to where it was when fridge turned it over to him .......
I hope that the jump to the big ten gets us better recruits. And maybe even better coaching prospects...
Well, if $$ talks, then UMd will benefit financially. Significantly. Even if md doesn't win a game, through the B1G revenue sharing, md would still get a cool $22-$25 mil from the B1G....after a few years of membership.
Here are some sobering numbers -Upwards of more than $100mil, more in the B1G, by 2020:
I'm predicting Md will do fine in the big ten. Maybe a while before they compete with te big dogs, but will still be very competitive.
What happens first; Edsall makes a bowl or Fear the Turgeon makes the NIT?
Great interview with Randy on 105.7 today. He is really pulling in great recruits.
For the first time in a long time the football program is on the rise.
Randy seems to be doing it with integrity too...wish I believed the coach of the other big program was doing the same.

Is the pressure on Beanie Wells?
Originally published: Jun 14, 2012 - 1:53 pm
The former first-round pick out of Ohio State ran for a career-high 1,047 yards on 245 carries in 14 games.
He did a lot to dispel to the label that he couldn't play through pain, too, often excelling despite being bothered by a knee injury for a good portion of the season.
Wells had right knee surgery on January 24 to repair a torn meniscus and more, and hasn't participated in OTAs or minicamp, which concluded Thursday afternoon. With only 41 days between the conclusion of minicamp and the first training camp practice in Flagstaff, there seems to be growing concern about Wells' readiness.
"He's got to to work himself back into being ready, and I think that's an important thing," head coach Ken Whisenhunt said Thursday. "We've done the right thing with Beanie, as far as the offseason about making sure he's healthy and trying to get him ready.
"He's gotta bust his tail over the next few weeks to be ready for training camp because we've had some guys look good there."
One of those guys is second-year back Ryan Williams, who has been limited himself as he is returning from a gruesome knee injury suffered during a preseason game last August. Williams got three carries during 11-on-11 drills during Wednesday night's Fan Fest at University of Phoenix Stadium in what was his first full-speed work since the injury.
"That was a big hurdle (Thursday) night, so I expect him to be ready to go in training camp," Whisenhunt said. "We're not going to throw him in there and give him every rep. We're going to make sure we continue with the process of getting him ready for the first game."
Despite the Cardinals' top two options at running back recuperating from knee surgery, Whisenhunt feels good about his personnel at the position.
"It doesn't concern me right now, we've still got a number of weeks until training camp starts," Whisenhunt said. "We've seen Beanie rush for over a thousand yards, we know what LaRod [Stephens-Howling] is, we expect to have Ryan back, so once we get to training camp and we get those guys going, I don't think I'll have any concerns."

Debbie Brangenberg said Thursday that preliminary figures are 11,000 for the entire weekend. The figures include the Fairpark events, the Elvis tribute artist events at the Lyric, the carnival, the gospel event and the race.
Attendance was up 80 percent for the Fairpark events.
Brangenberg said Downtown Tupelo Main Street Association,

event. It expects to release net earnings information in July or August.
