Southeastern opened the men's basketball season Saturday with a 124-55 win over Dallas Christian College at Bloomer Sullivan Arena.
All but four Savage Storm players reached double figures in a game which had the feel of last month's exhibition openers against Division I schools – only in reverse.
Senior forward Urald King led the output with 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting with 13 rebounds. Steven Kohli (senior forward) posted a 20-10 night and 6-9 freshman Andis Malahovskis of Latvia scored 10 points and grabbed 13 boards in his collegiate debut.
Junior guard Travis Timmons posted a double-double as well with 13 points and 16 of the Storm's 33 total assists. Freshmen guards Quinton Threadgill of Haworth and Andris Misters of Latvia scored 14 each in their official debut games.
Chris Roussell, the senior guard from Edgard, La., scored 10 points. Antonio Worthy and fan favorite James Harris scored six each; Mateus Oliveira and Veljko Lukic scored three apiece.
Malcolm McCarty led the Crusaders (0-5) with 15 points.
Not surprisingly, the Savage Storm ran the table in almost every statistical category. They shot 64 percent to DCC's 26 percent, including a 52 percent mark (12-23) from behind the arc. Southeastern had 68 rebounds to 25 for Dallas Christian, and assists favored the Storm 33-8.
Southeastern led 66-30 at the break and went on to outscore the Crusaders 58-25 in the second half.
The Savage Storm join Arkansas-Monticello and Southern Nazarene with 1-0 non-conference starts among GAC member schools. Southwestern is already 0-1. Two home games await the Storm on Thursday against Union (7 p.m. start) and Saturday against Arkansas-Fort Smith (8 p.m.).

Jerry Sandusky will spend the rest of his life in prison, Penn State football played under NCAA sanctions and Joe Paterno passed away.
Lance Armstrong abandoned his fight against doping allegations. Roger Clemens won his court battle, despite lingering skepticism over whether he used steroids. The impact of early-stage dementia forced Pat Summitt to step down from her coaching perch.
Again and again, it seemed, the sports world in 2012 saw the end of long tales with tragic or, at best, bittersweet endings.
And in so many cases, off-the-field news overshadowed what happened on it:
— In State College, Pa., where the Sandusky mess at Penn State destroyed lives and radically changed the face of a proud football program.
— In Washington, where Clemens emerged from court a winner, after a mistrial the first time around on charges he lied to Congress about performance-enhancing drug use.
— In Kansas City, Mo., where Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend, then drove to the team's facility in the Arrowhead Stadium complex, thanked his coach and general manager, and turned the gun on himself.
— In Austin, Texas, where the news broke that Armstrong decided to give up his long fight against doping charges, saying "enough is enough" but acknowledging no wrongdoing. The move began the cyclist's swift fall from his spot as cancer-fighting sports hero in the public eye. And though he maintains he was victimized by a "witch hunt," Armstrong still was stripped of all seven of his Tour de France victories.
"We must create a culture in which people are not afraid to speak up, management is not compartmentalized, all are expected to demonstrate the highest ethical standards, and the operating policy is open, collegial and collaborative," Penn State President Rodney Erickson said the day the NCAA levied massive sanctions against the Nittany Lions including a four year postseason ban.
Erickson was speaking of his own school. Continued...
But in 2012, at least some of those lessons could have applied to any number of topics.
Sure, there were amazing moments to remember and savor. Michael Phelps became the most decorated Olympian in history, adding to his enormous swimming haul with six more medals at the London Games, where the United States topped the winning charts once again. Usain Bolt became the first man to win the 100- and 200-meter dashes at consecutive Olympics, Eli Manning and the New York Giants reigned supreme in the NFL, San Francisco stormed its way to the World Series title, the Los Angeles Kings hoisted the Stanley Cup (no telling if any other team will anytime soon) and LeBron James and the Miami Heat silenced doubters by winning the NBA title.
Yet in a year like this, such times of achievement and triumph seemed few and far between.
Take March 21, for example. That was the day when Tim Tebow was traded by Denver to the New York Jets, a huge story simply for the Tebowmania factor — and one that wasn't even the biggest in the NFL that day, not with the announcement that New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton would serve a yearlong suspension for his role in the bounty scandal.
Try August 15, when baseball got to experience a rarity — Felix Hernandez pitching the first perfect game in Seattle Mariners' history — and an all-too-common occurrence, that being someone testing positive for something, in this case San Francisco's Melky Cabrera basically forfeiting any shot at the MVP or the NL batting title by being suspended 50 games following a positive test for testosterone.
Or Oct. 10, when Raul Ibanez showed off a flair for the dramatic — twice — by hitting tying and winning home runs as the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 to take a 2-1 lead in the AL Division Series, an enormous moment by any measure. Of course, those blasts came on the same day that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a report in which Armstrong was portrayed as the lead of the "most professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."
As stunning as Armstrong's fall was, what went on at Penn State continued to dominate the sports lexicon.
Sandusky was arrested in November 2011, but resolution didn't really begin until 2012 — part of why the case was voted the top sports story of the year by The Associated Press, based on balloting by U.S. editors and news directors.
The longtime Penn State defensive coordinator was convicted of 45 counts of abuse involving 10 boys, and later sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison, which means Sandusky is likely to die behind bars.
Paterno succumbed to lung cancer in January, and a statue of his likeness outside Beaver Stadium was removed six months later, one day before the NCAA announced a $60 million fine and four years of scholarship reductions. Still to come: civil suits brought by Sandusky's victims and the trials of former school administrators accused of neglecting their duty to report allegations. Continued...
"We can expect more fallout," Erickson said.
Paterno is still considered by many as a sympathetic figure, and still revered as a role model by some.
Clemens' legacy doesn't seem to resonate the same way with sports fans. It's almost like his courtroom win was one that many did not expect to see happen, and it may be his last big victory for a while. Clemens — the only seven-time Cy Young Award winner — is on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time this year, and a recent survey of voters by the AP shows that he is likely to fall well short of the number of votes necessary for induction in 2013.
Clemens was accused by former personal trainer Brian McNamee in the Mitchell Report on drugs in baseball of using steroids and HGH, allegations Clemens denied before Congress. Eventually, after a Justice Department investigation looked into whether Clemens lied under oath, a grand jury indicted him on two counts of perjury, three counts of making false statements and one count of obstructing Congress.
He was acquitted of all the charges on June 19 after a 10-week trial.
"I'm very thankful," Clemens said. "It's been a hard five years."
Armstrong's fight lasted even longer than that.
The testicular-cancer survivor won the Tour de France seven times, all while dogged by the stigma of he-must-be-cheating. Armstrong was never caught by a drug test, but rather was ultimately done in largely by the words of his former teammates. Armstrong continues to deny doping, but simply said his fight had gone on long enough.
Giving up has come with a price. Armstrong cut ties to his well-known charity, Livestrong, and longtime sponsor Nike — among other corporations — cut ties with him.
And as for Summitt, one of the greatest names in coaching, her last loss was against an invisible opponent. Continued...
Summitt stepped down as Tennessee's coach in April, a few months after revealing she has been diagnosed with early onset dementia. Summitt led Tennessee to eight national titles in her 38-year tenure, winning 1,098 Division I games along the way.
"It's never a good time," Summitt said. "But you have to find the time that you think is the right time and that is now."
Still, the year wasn't gloom and doom for everyone, not by a long shot.
Alabama got a chance to avenge a loss to LSU and win college football's national championship, the second for the Tide in three years. The Tide will be back in the BCS title game again in January, against rising and surprising Notre Dame.
Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers became baseball's first Triple Crown winner in 45 years. The Kings put together a stunning run through the Stanley Cup playoffs, the last celebratory moment the NHL got to enjoy before more labor strife led to a lockout. Baylor went 40-0 for the NCAA women's basketball title, while Kentucky returned to the top of the men's game. And the Giants (New York) and Giants (San Francisco) more than lived up to their names, in championship fashion.
But if there was one happy ending among all those the drawn-out sagas of this sports year, it was the year James had with the Heat.
Miami won the NBA title, beating Oklahoma City in five games for the franchise's second title and the first for James, who left Cleveland for the Heat two years earlier for moments such as that. He won the league's MVP award. He won the NBA Finals MVP award. He even helped the Americans win another basketball gold medal at the London Olympics.
After all he went through — from hero to villain, revered to pariah for his infamous "Decision" — James found a way to shake it all off and complete his quest.
"It's a year I know I'm never going to forget," James said.
Not many people will.
Thing is, in so many cases in 2012, it isn't for the right reasons.

Your old computer equipment could make the Ransom Center's New Year
Since the early 1990s, the Ransom Center has been receiving computers, disks, and similar media as part of its manuscript collections. One of the biggest challenges we face when trying to preserve these materials is accessing files that are on older disks.
Some of the items in our collection, such as CDs and DVDs, were created relatively recently and can be read using modern computers. But, to access older types of media—for example, 8-inch and 5.25-inch floppy disks or 3-inch Amstrad disks—we must first find the correct drive or computer.
The Center's collection includes close to 2,300 disks, as well as personal computers…

After one race, Tyler Thompson was hooked.
In the last year, Thompson, 25, has participated in about a dozen wheelchair races, but he was at a disadvantage. He needed a special racing wheelchair instead of his every day one.
But the special chairs costs about $3,000.
Thompson started a fundraising page on the site, gofundme.com, to raise money for the chair. In about six months, he'd raised only $50.
He decided to enter a contest on YouTube to see if he could raise the money. But then a running friend he met, Pam Burrus of Newnan, told him he'd probably never win the contest. She urged him to promote the gofundme site to raise the money.
And she helped.
She and Thompson posted his story with a link to the site on several racing websites, including the Chick-fil-A races and other races in the region.
In less than 24 hours, his wheelchair was fully funded. It's under construction now and will likely be delivered this week.
Thompson participated in last year's Chick-fil-A 5K on a whim, but fell in love with wheelchair racing almost immediately. Born with spina bifida, he can walk with braces and has always been competitive. He participated in wheelchair sports when he was in school and played baseball until he was 10, coached by his dad, Alan. His brother plays baseball in college.
After high school, however, he'd aged out of the wheelchair sports league and was looking for something else to do when he found racing.
Now he's done about a dozen races in the region, including Chattanooga and another Chick-fil-A race in Atlanta. He even has his own shirt he wears to the races. It says "that's how I roll."
"Sports run in my family," he said. "To find out I'm still able to compete means a lot."
His wheelchair racing Facebook page, thatshowIroll22, has more than 200 likes.
Eventually, he'd like to pay forward everything that's been done to help him.
"I'd like to start my own non-profit organization helping people get chairs and equipment for adaptive sports," he said.
He knows he'll never be able to repay everyone who donated to the effort to get his racing wheelchair.
"Ninety-five percent of those people don't even know me," he said. "I'm going to make a YouTube video to thank everyone."
This spring, at LaGrange's second Chick-fil-A race, his new chair will be making its debut where Thompson started wheelchair racing.
"There are three levels of spina bifida, and I have the best case of the worst level," he said. "I don't let it get in my way. It's not been easy, but I'll find a way to cross the finish line somehow."

Alex Ovechkin is returning to his former Russian team, Dynamo Moscow, for the duration of the N.H.L. lockout, while Pavel Datsyuk has signed with Dynamo's city rival CSKA Moscow. Both K.H.L. clubs announced the moves on Wednesday.
Ovechkin, the Washington Capitals star forward and the N.H.L.'s most valuable player in 2008 and 2009, has already practiced and had medical exams with Dynamo, the club said.
Ovechkin started with Dynamo as a 16-year-old in 2001-2 and was on the 2004-5 team that won the Russian championship.
N.H.L. players were locked out in 2004-5 as well, and Datsyuk skated alongside Ovechkin on Dynamo's championship team.
But Datsyuk chose CSKA this time, largely because his former Detroit teammate Sergei Fedorov is now the club's general manager.
"Pavel is really excited," Gary Greenstin, Datsyuk's agent, told The Detroit News. "Fedorov is the manager of the team, and he really wanted him."
Datsyuk is a four-time winner of the Lady Byng Trophy as the N.H.L.'s most gentlemanly player and a three-time of the Selke Trophy winner as best defensive forward.
Before going to Detroit in 2001, he played for teams in his hometown, Yekaterinburg, and later for Ak Bars Kazan, the top club in Tatarstan.
Under K.H.L. regulations, teams can sign locked-out N.H.L. players for no more than 65 percent of their N.H.L. salaries — in Ovechkin's case, a maximum of $5.85 million of the $9 million he was scheduled to make this season, and in Datsyuk's case, $4.36 million of the $6.7 million he was to earn.
Ovechkin said Wednesday that he could see staying with Dynamo beyond the lockout.
"If our salaries get slashed, I'll have to think about whether to return to N.H.L.," he told the Russian news agency RIA Novosti. However, Ovechkin has nine years left on the $124 million contract he signed with Washington in 2008.
Several other locked-out players agreed to European deals Wednesday, including last season's No. 4 scorer in the N.H.L., Ottawa's Jason Spezza, who signed with Rapperswil-Jona Lakers of the Swiss N.L.A.
Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby has said he is interested in playing in Europe during the lockout, but his agent said Wednesday that insurance costs may prove prohibitive.
The agent, Pat Brisson, said on Toronto radio that even partial insurance for Crosby could cost a club between $200,000 to $400,000 per month, given Crosby's value and his concussion history.
"That's where it gets tricky, a little bit," Brisson said on Sportsnet 590.

Thus was the game virtually lost at tbe start. Bobert Musseli took the pitcher's position in the second innings and stayed there, surprising everybody by his almost perfect control of the ball. Chase pounded the air pretty much all the time during the rest of the game, making only four or five scattered hits and scoring only three more runs in the eight innings. McGaffigan did splendid work behind the bat, and all the players gave excellent support, working hard to overcome Chase's lead, but the latter watched them close and were four ahead at the finish .

Coordinate your home's exterior colours like a pro
(NC)—No matter whether you are building a new home, or freshening up an existing one, choosing complementary exterior colours is quite a challenge.
Experts tell us that the most attractive exteriors use three to four shades to define the primary surfaces: main body, main trim, complementary trim, and supplementary trim. Using multiple colours will create interest and depth and are used to highlight an architectural feature, such as a pergola.
The main body colour is the dominant shade of the structure, often the brick, stone, wood or vinyl siding. The main trim colour is found on windows and moldings. The complementary trim colour is used on doors and shutters. Lastly, the supplementary trim colour can be found on decks, siding, fences, pergolas or other architectural features. Choosing the right ones will result in an eye-pleasing, coordinated look that is bound to increase the value of your home, as well as protect your investment.
If you need some guidance, Olympic exterior stains has developed a helpful guide to lead homeowners through the many choices of not only colour, but the type of stain best suited to each application. It's called "Become a Color Genius" (www.olympic.com/staincolorguide) and it's packed with information, tips, and seven colour schemes to enlighten and inspire homeowners.
Once you select your colour palette, it's time to determine the level of stain coverage for the wood components of your home. A clear stain allows wood to weather to a natural grey, yet still be protected from the elements. A toner delivers a slight hint of colour that maintains the natural beauty of wood.
Maybe you prefer a subtle wash of colour that allows the wood's grain and texture to show. If so, choose a semi-transparent stain. For a rich opaque colour, choose a solid stain and you will still see the rich texture of the wood, but with more depth of colour. Both semi-transparent and solid stains come in many beautiful shades that coordinate with one another.
New carbon monoxide alarms last 40% longer
(NC)— Despite the life-saving protection they provide, carbon monoxide alarms remain largely overlooked. Research shows that just 40 per cent of Canadian homes have them.
And questions arise like: Who needs a CO alarm? Where should I install it? When do I need to replace it?
Safety professionals tell us that one CSA-approved CO alarm should be installed on each storey. These alarms are especially important outside bedrooms in homes with a gas or wood fireplace, a fuel-burning heating system, or if the home has an attached garage or carport.
The CO alarm replacement question is not so straightforward, since different brands have different lifespans ranging from five to seven years. Adding to the confusion are smoke alarms which need to be replaced every 10 years.
Simplifying matters, safety product market leader Kidde has now updated all its CO alarms with sensors certified to also last 10 years. This technology is the first of its kind in Canada.
"Families can now have worry-free safety for an entire decade," says Carol Heller, Kidde's home safety specialist. "Updated models also have a built-in chirp that tells you when alarms are approaching the end of active use."
The alarms come in battery powered, plug-in and hardwired models. More information is available online at www.kiddecanada.com and www.safeathome.ca.
The Spring Garden Guide
(NC)—Spring is the season of rebirth and re-growth. Which also means green-thumbs can't wait to get back in those gardens! To get you started, here are some helpful tips from garden guru Peter Cantley, at Loblaw Companies Limited
Make your garden beds. Rid planting areas of weeds and spread a 4-inch layer of compost or manure over soil. Using a pitchfork, mix soil and compost going about 10 inches deep until you've got moist crumbly soil.
Primp and prune. Remove dead or damaged branches from woody shrubs or trees before new leaf growth begins. Prune spring-flowering shrubs and trees only after the first spring bloom.
Take some tests. Different planting areas may have different needs. Check the pH balance of soil in each spot with a home soil test kit. Then as new growth appears you can treat each one with the fertilizer and amendments required.
Peter's Dos and Don'ts to get you ready for beautiful summer Blooms:
• DO water the garden before 10 a.m. If you leave watering for the hotter hours almost half the amount of water you apply will evaporate in the summer heat.
• DON'T cut back foliage of bulbs until it dries naturally. The bulb needs the green leaves to make food for next season's growth. Cutting foliage too early results in small, weak bulbs the following year.
• DO fertilize roses every week, all summer long. Most hybrids are very heavy feeders and need a lot of fertilizer for beautiful and healthy blooms. Be sure to plant your bushes in a location with plenty of sunlight and leave at least 3 feet in between plants for good air circulation.
• DON'T forget to experiment with new perennials every year. Each year, we showcase some of the latest introductions and it's a wonderful treat to find new plants toenjoy in the garden. For instance, try the PC® Campanula – Purple Get Mee, with purple bell-shaped flowers. This perennial acts like an annual with rich blooms that come back summer to fall.
This Month's Video Show Your True Colors Breathe Easy
Curb appeal puts your home in big demand
(NC)—In a market where sellers are in competition to make the most out of their largest investment, improving your home's first impression is one of the best ways to set it apart from the rest of the pack.
When prospective buyers or renters drive through your neighbourhood, what do they see? This is a really important question that you need to answer because it will help understand what your buyer is going to be looking for in a new home. Once you've answered this, ask yourself objectively if the front of your home is in keeping with the rest of the houses on your block. The first impression is critical in setting the mood for prospective agents and buyers. If your home's exterior looks like it needs work, then people immediately assume that it's a 'fixer-upper'. The opposite is true if your front yard is manicured, the roof is in good shape and the driveway is in good condition. Having a potential buyer walk into your front door in a positive mode can translate into big dollars for you.
Both Virginia Tech and the University of Guelph did studies in 2011 that measured the effect of landscaping on property values, and they both came to the same conclusion. To improve curb appeal, basic landscaping increased the home's value by 5%, but more extensive landscaping including decks and patios increased the homes value up to 15%.
So where do you spend the money?
Set your budget and be realistic about what you're trying to accomplish with it. Keep in mind that you are trying to create an excellent first impression to attract potential buyers. This isn't the opportunity for you to realize your landscaping dreams. Consider a new paint job using a colour scheme that highlights the character of your home. Install a new front door or at least update your door's hardware. Even something as simple as full and healthy planters can make a favourable impact.
One of the easiest ways to improve curb appeal is to have a clean and tidy front yard with a manicured lawn. Maybe this is the opportunity to invest in some new tools to help do the job properly. The best part about this type of investment is that not only will your plants and lawn look better with edging, pruning and cutting, you also get to take your new tools with you once you've sold your home.
The technology for landscaping tools has made the purchasing task much easier as well. Now you can get a hedge trimmer, string trimmer or sweeper & vac all in one system. With the Black & Decker 36V Lithium system, for example, you can use the same battery and charger for all three of those tools. A quick prune of the shrubs with the hedge trimmer, followed by a 'one-around' with the string trimmer and then tidying up with the sweeper will help you to maintain the front yard as short as 10 minutes per day.
The goal is to create an emotional connection at the first glance of any prospective buyer, so before you put that sign on the lawn, be sure to spend enough time at the curb.
Zero-maintenance gardens are imaginary
(NC)—Over the last decade, the idea of a zero-maintenance garden has become the holy grail of outdoor spaces.
Imagine, a yard that always looks amazing and requires no effort on the part of the homeowner – a personal utopia that remains exactly as you left it. But don't hold your breath. Most experts agree there is no such thing as a zero-maintenance garden. Even if you paved your entire yard and installed plastic plants, nature would find a way to be a part of your perfect space.
The best we can achieve is less maintenance. Every single thing you put in your outdoor space requires effort. Even dirt requires work. Making your life easier is all about making the best choices for you and your space.
I laugh out loud when clients ask me for a nice big lawn as part of their easy-to-care-for backyard. In my experience, there is nothing more time consuming or labour intensive than grass. We have this misconception that a lawn should look like the pictures on the fertilizer bag and people spend all summer trying to make it happen. My neighbour Jim has the best grass I've ever seen. I decided to track the amount of time he spent in one week making it perfect. With weeding, watering, cutting, edging, trimming, and fertilizing, Jim spent almost 20 hours working on his lawn…and I didn't see him actually enjoying it. Personally, that's not how I want to fill my weekends. As a designer however, I know that filling a large backyard with a grass-less creation is expensive. I'd also be fighting a tradition that has been a part of the North American home for longer than I've been alive.
So instead of doing away with the lawn, maybe the better answer is to redefine it. The marketplace is now full of options that are alternates to our customary Kentucky Blue grass seed. Some people have opted for clover lawns; others have gone with mixes that utilize native fescue seeds. Both are definitely less maintenance than what we are used to, but they both still require some effort. To help with this, technology is also changing through the introduction of new battery-operated tools that are easy to use and easy to care for.
The Black & Decker 19-inch 36V Self-Propelled Cordless Mower (SPCM1936) is my new favourite outdoor toy. Not only can I adjust the mowing speed to my personal pace, its one-touch height adjustment allows me to choose my desired grass height – all with the pull of a single lever. Cutting grass has never been so easy
Maybe the key to discovering the zero-maintenance garden isn't trying to get rid of all the things that require work, the key is to make the work more enjoyable because then it isn't really a chore anymore! Like I've always said, "When the tools becomes toys, the job becomes a hobby!" One day we could all enjoy the yard work so much that we actually consider it a pleasure!
Maybe I'll file this idea right beside my photo of the yeti.
Edible Landscaping- grow a delicious relationship with your garden
(NC)—Not only does growing your own produce allow you to save on fresh, organic produce, but edible plants grow in a variety of shapes, colours and textures enabling you to cultivate a landscape that is as unique as you are. Lowe's Seasonal Plants Expert Karey O'Halloran provides quick tips on selecting and growing the right edible plants for your garden.
• Most (but not all) vegetable and fruit plants require full sunlight- at least 4-6 hours/day
• Full sun vegetables and fruist that grow on the vine generally produce the most colour. Consider and assortment of bell peppers, eggplant, Hot House Tomatoes, strawberries, and blueberries
• Cool-season plants such as cabbage, kale, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, and beans are versatile and can tolerate some shade
• Vegetables and fruits will not grow in full shade
• Salad greens make for great edging plants as they are lush in colour and foliage.
• For small spaces- window boxes, hanging baskets, potted plants, and raised garden beds are versatile and can allow for great growing.
• Need shade? Consider planting a fruit tree in your yard. Apple, peach, pear, or apricot varieties are all great choices for Canadian climate and produce beautiful flowers. Keep in mind that falling fruit can be messy, and could attract pests such as flies and bees.
• To control pests, plant garlic bulbs sporadically throughout your garden. This will help ward off spiders, flies, and slugs.
• If you love flowers, consider growing edible varieties such as Pansy's, Borage, or even Squash.
Start cottage safety on Day 1 this year
(NC)— After the winter we just had, cottage season can't come fast enough. But whether escaping to cottages, cabins or trailers, Canadians are being urged by fire safety officials to start the season by taking stock of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and other safety equipment.
"To enjoy true peace of mind in your piece of heaven, you need to know that your family and guests are safe," says Carol Heller, a home safety expert at Kidde Canada, the country's leading manufacturer of smoke and CO alarms. "Safety needs to start on Day 1 so you can enjoy an incident-free vacation."
Follow these summer safety steps:
• Opening day, check the age of your smoke and CO alarms. Immediately replace any that are over 10 years old and replace CO alarms over seven years old, no matter whether they are plug in, hardwired or battery powered.
• Next, make sure there is at least one working smoke alarm on every storey and outside sleeping areas. In Ontario, this is the law.
• If you have a fireplace, woodstove, garage or carport or attached boathouse, or any other gas, oil or propane-fueled devices, install at least one CSA-approved carbon monoxide alarm outside sleeping areas.
• Once alarms are in the right places, check their batteries. The cold can deplete batteries over the winter, so make sure every alarm has fresh power.
• Turn your attention outside. Make sure all vents, ductwork, and exhaust fans are free of debris. And, depending upon your watercraft size and local regulations, you may need a fire extinguisher and CO alarm onboard. Know what's required.
• Lastly, it is extremely important – especially for renters – to know a cottage's exact address and fire emergency numbers. Some cell phone calls to 911 from rural areas can't be pinpointed. So make sure you can give full address information to emergency operators.
More summer fire and carbon monoxide safety tips can be found online at www.safeathome.ca.
Take control of spring allergies
(NC)—Along with the warmer weather and longer days, springtime can bring runny noses, watery eyes, and seasonal sneezing. From the ceremonious spring cleaning to blooming flowers and thriving trees, the season can trigger allergies caused by culprits both inside and outside the home. Don't let allergens such as pollen, mold, dander, or dust mites make you suffer and spoil your spring fever. Take a look at this list of practical, chemical-free tips from the Reliable Corporation, on how to better control allergies within your home:
• Declutter to reduce dust collectors. Remove piles and stacks, toss out or recycle any unwanted items, and then place remaining objects in closed plastic containers to avoid attracting dust.
• Vacuum, steam, and flip the mattress, this should be done annually in order to help maintain shape and avoid uneven wearing. Easily kill dust mites and mold spores with the EnviroMate Pronto (P7) a portable steam cleaner by Reliable. Use the fabric brush attachment and hold device over the mattress to eliminate allergens. The power of steam also deodorizes and sanitizes every crevice, a natural alternative to using harsh chemicals.
• Wipe down your home from top to bottom, but skip the hazardous chemical cleaning solutions and use a damp microfiber cloth to attract dust on tables, walls, frames, shelves, dressers, ceiling fans, and more.
• Keep your doors and windows closed, especially during peak pollen hours. If using an air conditioning system, make sure to change the filter monthly.
• To eliminate mildew and lime buildup without the use of chemical cleaners, lay down paper towels over appliances and soak in vinegar. For best results, let it sit for at least an hour, allowing the residue to soften, eventually making it easier to remove.

Automated fluorescent sequencing using energy transfer dyes is the current method of choice for DNA sequence determination. If not removed prior to analysis, certain reaction components such as buffer salts and unincorporated dye-labeled terminators can interfere with data collection in a capillary-based automated sequencer. Likewise, the presence of contaminants such as salts, unincorporated dNTPs and primers can interfere with analysis of PCR fragments by capillary electrophoresis or microarray spotting. Promega has developed high-throughput, validated, walkaway systems to remove these contaminants using the Beckman Coulter Biomek® FX liquid handler and the flexible format of the MagneSil® Paramagnetic Particles.

World of Tanks Update 8.6 now available in Europe
World of Tanks Update 8.6 is now available in Europe and will roll out to the rest of the world later this month.

Inhale…Exhale…For more than a century, Los Angeles' Barlow Respiratory Hospital has guided its patients and California to "breathe easier." Opening on October 25th, HDDT's Catch Your Breath will examine the intersection of art and learning through the fundamental act of breathing inspired Barlow's 110-year heritage.
Designed as an artistic journey through the environs of the hospital property, the performance will guide the audience through scenes motivated by the preserved and reinvigorated spaces of the Barlow facility, the history of the hospital, and specific patients' stories to recovery. Inspired by the individuals whose lives have been changed as a result of their time at Barlow, HDDT will highlight the hospital's past, while celebrating its future through captivating live performance.
Like the hospital's acute concentration on healing, HDDT's Catch Your Breath will portray the sense of recovery, and the life-changing, compassionate atmosphere found within Barlow. Drawing upon Barlow's focus on "the whole person, not just the illness," HDDT will place the physical body at the core of the piece, with revitalizing choreography that will highlight the beauty and significance of the hospital grounds and allow the audience to see the beacon of hope the enhanced Barlow Respiratory Hospital provides for its patients, families, and the community.

The Marine Blue 420nm Actinic lamp re-creates the effect of a moonlit ocean and brings out corals natural fluorescence. Unlike many competing products the Marine Blue Lamp peaks at 420nm, the optimum point in the spectrum for marine fluorescence.
The Arcadia Marine Blue Actinic lamp range has been created to provide the specific spectrum (400 – 480nm) necessary to achieve the blue chlorophyll absorption for zooxanthellae symbiosis to develop. This concentration of light energy in the so called 'actinic' range peaking at 420nm, is essential for the survival and good health of fish, corals and invertebrates in marine aquariums. Another important element of the Arcadia Marine Blue Actinic lamp is the UV output present, which creates a very pleasant fluorescent effect on corals, invertebrates and exotic marine fish. When used at night with no other lamps, the effect is of a dark moonlit night with the vivid colours of the corals and invertebrates fluorescing brilliantly.

Vote for the socialistis communist AGAIN.This topix is way outdated. It should say How will you vote in 2012? My answer is anyone but a republican this bunch lost their mind 30 years ago and now we independents have to struggle to the polls to vote for the lessor of two evils. I used to say that would be a republican, but after George W Bush I would have to say Democrat.

Today hubs and I went for a walk on the trails where I used to run. We took the long route, the one I used to run every other day when I was running often. It felt good to be back on the trails, even though I was moving at a much slower pace.
It made me think back to how I felt when I was in peak condition, how being on the trails felt when I was a "runner." I remember the exhilaration. The feeling that it was my trail. I owned that stretch of land and I paid for it in gallons upon gallons of sweat.
I remember how, for the first part of the run, my head would pull out that one thing that was bothering me and work on it for a while. I would hold imaginary conversations with people in my head, work on problems, and resolve conflicts all on my own while I was running. I worked out a lot of issues that way and came back feeling cleansed.
I also remember how during the second half of a run I couldn't do that anymore. The second half became about the bargaining and the head games it takes to get to the end when really, stopping right now seems so much better. Just one more telephone pole. Anyone can run one more telephone pole. If you just make it to the next telephone pole you can make the rest. You don't get to walk until you get to the turnoff, those are the rules. You know that. You can make it.
As I was walking I remembered all the parts of the trail, as it is indelibly etched into my physical memory. I ran that trail so many times I know every last part of it, even though it changes all the time because it's the desert and the only thing that changes more than the dessert is water. There was a time when I could, and did, run that trail in the dark.
I would get to a particularly sandy part and think oh yeah, this was the hardest part to get through. This is where my shoes filled with sand and it felt like running in slow motion. Then I'd get to a hard-packed area, or the graded road that used to lead to an old pit back in the hills, and I would remember how I could run the fastest in those areas with my iPod tuned to the fastest songs in my playlist and the wind at my back.
I walked by the two different places I've seen rattlesnakes, and the different areas where I've seen coyotes. Once a coyote crossed the trail right in front of me, just like they run out in front of the cars on the road. That made me stop in my tracks, unsure if it was a good idea to have him behind me or if, since he was alone, I was ok. There were times I saw them on my early morning runs when they were not alone, when they were hunting in a pack, and it was a lot more unsettling.
I remember the wind. In the desert there's a reason they can't remember your name and it's because the wind blows it away. During the first part of my run the wind was always at my back, but on the way home I had to fight it the whole way. At times I was sure I was standing still, it was blowing so hard. The wind gives and it takes, though, because even though it can be like running against a wall, it keeps you cooler and drier. Oh how I've cursed and thanked that wind at the same time.
Friday I'm starting the surgeries that are hopefully going to get me back on that trail. I am nervous and hopeful at the same time, and I think the biggest nerves stem not from the pain that is sure to come but from the hopes. I am afraid that my hopes for future dates with my trail will not be fulfilled and that I will be relegated to walking it. Or worse, that I will only be able to drive by and remember how it used to be, when I made that trail my own and we learned how to get along.
And that will be the saddest thing of all.

Heres a look at some of the movies now being screened in the area.
Anna Karenina
All the worlds a stage, very literally, in Joe Wrights wildly theatrical adaptation of Anna Karenina. If you thought the directors five-and-a-half-minute tracking shot in Atonement was show-offy, you aint seen nothing yet. Wright and screenwriter Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love) have taken Leo Tolstoys literary behemoth about love, betrayal and death among the elite in imperial Russia and boldly set it almost entirely within a decaying theater. The inspiration comes from the notion that the members of high society conducted themselves as if they were performing on stage. The result is technically dazzling, a marvel of timing and choreography. Anna Karenina is at once cleverly contained and breathtakingly fluid; its crammed with rich, intimate detail yet moves with a boundless energy that suggests anything is possible. But wondrous as all this artifice is, its also a huge distraction. The self-consciousness of the structure keeps us at arms length emotionally. Rather than feeling the suffering of the adulterous Anna (Keira Knightley), were more likely to notice how beautiful the suffering looks the flattering lighting, her wild mane of dark curls spread meticulously across her pillow case. And eventually the trickery actually becomes a bit predictable. Still, its impossible not to have huge admiration for this ambitious, complicated risk. Jude Law co-stars as Annas cuckolded husband with Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the flirtatious cavalry officer who woos her away. R for some sexuality and violence. 130 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
For anyone who cringed just a little while watching the trailer and worried that this might be a near-parody of a Steven Spielberg film, with its heartfelt proclamations, sentimental tones and inspiring John Williams score, fret not. The movie itself is actually a lot more reserved than that more a wonky, nuts-and-bolts lesson about the way political machinery operates than a sweeping historical epic that tries to encapsulate the entirety of the revered 16th presidents life. That was a smart move on the part of Spielberg and Pulitzer prize-winning screenwriter Tony Kushner. Talky and intimate but also surprisingly funny, Lincoln focuses on the final four months of Abraham Lincolns life as he fought for the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery, and sought to unite a nation torn apart by the Civil War. This tumultuous period provides a crucible to display everything Lincoln was made of, both his folksiness and fortitude. Totally unsurprisingly, Daniel Day-Lewis inhabits the role fully. He disappears into it with small details and grand gestures, from his carriage to the cadence of his speech, and the Academy should probably just give him the best-actor Oscar now and get it over with. Although Lincoln itself often feels too conservative, stagey and safe, Day-Lewis performances is full of so many clever choices that he keeps it compelling. Of course, the film has all the top-notch technical hallmarks weve come to expect from Spielberg: Its handsomely staged and impeccable in its production design. But this is a movie thats easier to admire than love; its impressive but not exactly moving. Tommy Lee Jones, James Spader, John Hawkes and David Strathairn are among the supporting cast that might be too crammed with gifted character actors. PG-13 for an intense scene of war violence, some images of carnage and brief strong language. 150 minutes. Three stars out of four.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2
Finally finally! the Twilight franchise embraces its own innate absurdity with this gleefully over-the-top conclusion. This is by far the best film in the series. This does not necessarily mean its good. But as it reaches its prolonged and wildly violent crescendo, its at least entertaining in a totally nutso way. The first four adaptations of Stephenie Meyers mega-best sellers about the girl-vampire-werewolf love triangle were, for the most part, laughably self-serious affairs full of mopey teen angst, stilted dialogue and cheesy special effects. Sure, they pleased their fervent audience, made billions of dollars worldwide and turned their three core actors into instant superstars. But they werent what you would call high-quality cinematic experiences. Now, Bill Condon (who also directed last years Breaking Dawn Part 1) finally lets his freak flag fly. Here is the Condon of Gods and Monsters, the one who loves lurid horror. Here is the Condon of Dreamgirls, the one with an eye for panache. His final Twilight movie dares to have a little fun it actually makes you laugh intentionally for once, teetering on self-parody as it does. Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) are now married vampires and parents to a newborn daughter, Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy). With the help of the bloodsucking Cullen clan and vampires gathered from around the globe, they must band together with Edwards former romantic rival Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and his werewolf buddies to protect the half-human, half-vampire spawn from the evil and suspicious Volturi. PG-13 for sequences of violence including disturbing images, some sensuality and partial nudity. 115 minutes. Three stars out of four.

How many available finishes for the fan blades are offered?
Is a standard downrod included with the fan?
Can this fan be hung as is; without a downrod for close to ceiling mount?
Does this fan come with the four spots regardless of the finish? Other photos do not show spots, just the fan?
A. Regardless of the finish the Casablanca Four Seasons III - 52 does not come with spot lights, however light kits are available and sold separately. In fact, once you choose your finish and add the fan to your cart you will have the option to choose a compatible light kit to add to your order.
what color are the blades with the brushed nickel
Are the lights dimmable ?
where can I purchase the antique brass spots to put with this fan?
I have Vaulted ceilings will this work as is or do I need additional peices to hang from the ceiling?
Looking at the features and finishes it appears the brushed nickel finish fan has 2 sided blades that are Cherrywood on one side and platinum on the other; is this correct?
I am confirming that this is an Energy Star qualified fan, comes with a 3" down rod, and does not need a flush mount adaptor (if I decide to do the flush mount).

Is there a compatible remote for the Casablanca Four Seasons 111-52?
Is this fan compatible with the Intellitouch control?

I have a 16 foot high ceiling. How far from the ceiling should the fan hang and how many down rods would I need?
