DAVISVILLE - It took quite a few miles to accomplish, but Charleston Catholic successfully navigated the road to the state tournament - and, somewhat fittingly, is rewarded with its shortest trip of the entire postseason.
Senior first baseman Nelson McKown had three hits and drove in five runs Wednesday afternoon to lead the Irish to a 10-3 victory over Parkersburg Catholic in the Class A Region 4 finals at Marshall Field.
"I was just trying to see the ball well and hit it,'' McKown said, "and just try to get something started for our team. We needed a little jumpstart offensively.''
The win qualifies the Irish (27-9) for the state tournament, which begins May 30 at Appalachian Power Park. It marks the eighth such venture in 12 years for Charleston Catholic, which can hardly be called a trip since the ballpark rests less than two-thirds of a mile from the high school.
But the Irish needed to log frequent traveler miles to get there, winning sectional games at Buffalo and Hurricane after persistent rains washed away nearly every date set for Triana Field, then drove to Point Pleasant and greater Parkersburg to nail down regional victories.
On Wednesday, Kiefer Hovorka went the distance for the Irish, allowing all three Crusader runs in the third after he'd already been staked to a comfortable 8-0 lead. He struck out nine and walked only one.
McKown had his biggest postseason game yet, going 3 for 3 - doubling in a run in the first, singling home two more in the second, lofting a sacrifice fly in the third and blasting a solo homer in the fifth.
"It feels pretty good to come through like that,'' McKown said. "Nothing but smiles here. But it's not just me. Kiefer had a pretty good performance. He led us - just get on base and drive him in.''
Connor Golden drove in two runs for the Irish, the No. 4 team in the Gazette's Class A state ratings. Golden and Sam McKown, Nelson's younger brother, each drew bases-loaded walks off Crusaders starter Mitch Davis during a five-run second.

My AmeriGas Bill
Invoice, Contract and Fee Information
Below you will find the definitions of items on your invoices, explanations of fees and the standard terms and conditions for residential customers.
These Terms and Conditions do not apply in the state of Vermont. See below for Vermont fee disclosure forms.
Terms and Conditions for Residential Customers:
AmeriGas' new Terms and Conditions are set forth below. Please read this Notice and keep it in a safe place with your other important records. This Notice will modify all prior agreements and will govern your relationship with AmeriGas after the new Terms and Conditions become effective.
For most residential Customers, the new Terms and Conditions will become effective thirty days after the date of this Notice. For Customers with agreements requiring more than 30 days' notice, the new Terms and Conditions will become effective on the earliest date after the expiration of the notice period required by the agreements. For Customers with agreements that cannot be modified in this manner, this Notice will serve as a notice of termination and an offer to do business under the Terms and Conditions set forth below, and the new Terms and Conditions will become effective on the earliest date after the termination.
- RENT FOR LEASED EQUIPMENT. Upon request, the Company will lease and provide to Customer various equipment, including a propane storage tank or cylinder, regulator(s) and related equipment and appurtenances ("the Leased Equipment"). Customer agrees to pay the Company annual rent during the period the Leased Equipment is used. The amount of the rent can vary by geography and may be affected by, among other things, the size of the tank(s) and the Customer's actual annual usage. The Company reserves the right to change-out the Leased Equipment if Customer's propane usage changes or to remove the Leased Equipment during periods of non-usage. Customer agrees that if Customer sells the residence where the Leased Equipment has been installed, Customer will notify the Company, at least 30 days in advance, that the sale is taking place and will notify the buyer that the Leased Equipment is owned by the Company.
- PROPANE SUPPLY. Customer agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to sell to Customer, all of Customer's propane requirements at Customer's residence or other specified property. Customer also agrees that only propane sold by the Company will be used with the Leased Equipment.
- General Provisions:
Customer agrees to pay the Company's fees, rates, and charges in effect on the date that propane is delivered or services are rendered. THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE ITS FEES, RATES, AND CHARGES FROM TIME TO TIME WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. Customer acknowledges that the Company's fees, rates and charges include its procurement costs and may vary depending upon, among other things, the volume of propane purchased, Customer classification, ownership of equipment and competitive conditions. For Customers who are billed based on the usage amount shown on a meter attached to the Customer's propane system, the Company reserves the right to bill the Customer based on an estimated usage amount, which will later be followed-up by an actual reading with the Customer to be: (i) credited to the extent that the estimated amount exceeded the actual propane usage amount or (ii) charged an additional amount to the extent that the actual amount of propane used exceeded the estimated amount. Customers who receive forecasted or other deliveries of propane understand and agree that they will not receive prior notice of the price of propane, but may obtain pricing information by calling the local Company office serving Customer's account. The Company's fees, rates, and charges, if any, are not refundable except to the extent that a refund may be required by law. Customer understands and acknowledges that Customer may obtain the Company's current fees, rates, and charges by contacting the local Company office servicing Customer's account. - Current Fees and Charges:
- Fuel Recovery Fee - This fee, which is assessed for propane deliveries and service calls, helps to offset the significant expenses incurred by the Company in fueling its fleet of commercial motor vehicles. This fee fluctuates on a monthly basis as the Company's cost of fuel fluctuates. The fee as of the date of this Notice is $7.64. For updated fuel recovery fee information, please contact your local Company office on a monthly basis.
- HazMat & Safety Compliance Fee - This fee, which is assessed for propane deliveries and service calls, helps to offset a portion of the costs the Company must incur to comply with federal, state and local government regulations, including, but not limited to, hazardous materials, homeland security, emergency preparedness and workplace safety. It is also used to fund, among other things, vital employee safety training and inspections, cylinder re-qualification, and environmental compliance. THE FEE IS NOT GOVERNMENT IMPOSED, NOR IS ANY PORTION OF IT PAID TO ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY. The current fee is $9.59.
- Late Charge - This charge is assessed when a Customer does not pay his/her bill within the credit terms established and is designed to recover collection and related costs incurred by the Company. The current charge is 1½% of the average daily balance or a minimum charge of $36, whichever is greater.
- Pump-Out/Restocking Charge - This charge defrays the cost associated with pumping out a tank that contains in excess of five percent, and returning the tank to the Company's inventory. Customers can avoid this charge by continuing service with the Company until the supply of propane in the tank is less than five percent. The current charge is 35¢ per gallon of propane that is pumped out of the tank.
- Special Trip Charge - This charge is incurred by Customers who request immediate deliveries or non-emergency service after business hours or on weekends. This charge can vary greatly due to the distance involved and/or the time required to service this request and will be based on local labor rates which can be obtained from your local Company office.
- Meter Service Fee - This fee is incurred by Customers who are charged for their propane based on an amount of usage as measured by the Company's meter. This fee defrays the cost of meter reading, meter maintenance and related administrative costs. The current fee is $9.99 per month.
- Service Dispatch Charge - This charge is to cover the costs associated with dispatching a service technician to a Customer's residence or other location to perform service work on customer-owned equipment and appliances or to pick-up a Company-owned tank or cylinder. Customers should note that upon arrival at Customer's location, additional charges may be assessed depending upon the nature of the problem. The Service Dispatch Charge is $39.99 and is collected at the time the service or tank/cylinder pick-up is scheduled. This charge will not be credited toward service work performed. Please check with your local Company office regarding the availability of appliance repair service.
- Returned Check Charge - $33.00
- Price Dispute Resolution Procedure:
Due to the potential pricing volatility in energy markets, every Customer has the right to discuss the price of propane delivered to their account, and the Company will make reasonable efforts to resolve pricing disputes through a standardized process. If Customer would like to discuss the price of their propane with the Company, Customer should initially contact his/her local office Customer Relations Representative. If Customer is not satisfied with the resolution after discussions with the local Customer Relations Representative, Customer may advance the issue to the local District Manager. If a resolution still does not occur, Customer may request the issue be escalated to the Area Director. Any unresolved dispute can be further escalated to the office of the Operations Vice President if the Customer deems necessary. The local office can provide contact information. - PAYMENT TERMS AND LATE FEES. Customer agrees to pay all fees, rates, and charges required by the Terms and Conditions within ten days after the invoice date or on the due date, whichever is later, to the location designated by the Company. Where permitted by law, Customer agrees that the Company may send Customer an invoice instead of a delivery ticket. If Customer fails to pay any fees, rates, or charges within 25 days after the invoice or due date, the Company may, unless prohibited by law, add a monthly late charge of one and one-half percent of the average daily balance or a late charge of $36.00, whichever is greater. The Company reserves the right to require Customer to pay for propane deliveries or services in advance or to post a cash deposit, which may be applied by the Company at any time in whole or in part to the outstanding balance.
- LICENSES, PERMITS AND TAXES. Customer agrees to pay for all licenses, permits, and taxes associated with the sale or use of the propane and Leased Equipment or service covered by these Terms and Conditions.
- PROPANE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE & REPAIR. Except for the Leased Equipment, Customer is responsible for the maintenance and repair of Customer's entire propane system.
- TITLE TO EQUIPMENT. The Leased Equipment will at all times remain the property of the Company and will not become a fixture or a part of Customer's real property. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, CUSTOMER WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS, CONNECTIONS OR DISCONNECTIONS TO THE LEASED EQUIPMENT OR REMOVE OR PUMP-OUT THE TANK WITHOUT THE WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE COMPANY. CUSTOMER WILL NOTIFY THE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY IF THE LEASED EQUIPMENT IS DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONS OR IF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE LEASED EQUIPMENT.
- ACCESS TO EQUIPMENT. The Customer agrees that the Company has, without prior notice, an irrevocable right of entry and exit to Customer's property to deliver propane or to install, repair, service, or remove the Leased Equipment, or to perform any other services that it deems necessary under the Terms and Conditions. Customer agrees to provide the Company with safe, free and unimpeded access to the Leased Equipment, including, but not limited to, access free of ice, snow, water, mud and other hazards, as well as to provide a driveway that is sufficiently sturdy to withstand the weight of a filled propane truck. Customer will mark or otherwise identify the location of septic systems, leach pits, underground ponds and similar underground features as necessary to install the Leased Equipment, perform services and make deliveries. The Customer agrees that the Company has no obligation to contact Customer to request access to the Equipment, but instead may suspend service until Customer has provided access as required by this Agreement. Customer agrees to promptly surrender to the Company the Leased Equipment when Customer terminates Customer's relationship with the Company for any reason.
- TERMINATION. Unless a specific term was agreed upon in a written agreement between the Company and Customer, either party may terminate this Agreement by giving the other party thirty (30) days prior written notice. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time without prior notice if Customer fails to satisfy any of these Terms and Conditions or if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that a condition exists that poses a health or safety threat.
- EXCUSED PERFORMANCE. The Company will not be responsible for any delay or damages caused by events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, fire, storms, floods, labor disputes, wars, hostilities, compliance with laws or regulations, the Company's inability to obtain propane or equipment from its customary suppliers, terminal, refinery or pipeline disruptions, allocation programs, lack of or inadequate transportation facilities, or terrorism. Under any of these or similar circumstances, the Company may allocate propane and equipment among its Customers in any manner that the Company, in its sole judgment, deems reasonable.
- CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT. The Company reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions (other than fees, rates, and charges, which may be changed without prior notice) at any time by giving Customer thirty (30) days prior written notice of the change(s). The notice of change may be in the form of a bill insert, email attachment or other written notification. By accepting delivery of propane or by paying any fees, rates, or charges after Customer has been given notice of the change(s), Customer will be deemed to have agreed to the change(s). These Terms and Conditions may not be modified orally.
- CUSTOMERS WITH UNDERGROUND TANKS. At the time of installation and removal of the underground propane supply tank and equipment, Customer will mark or otherwise accurately identify the location of all underground systems that are not marked by the State's "Call Before You Dig" program, including, but not limited to, sprinkler lines, septic systems, leach pits, underground ponds and similar underground features. Customer is responsible for all costs of the excavation and removal of the Leased Equipment and the Company is not responsible for furnishing fill, resurfacing, landscaping or restoring Customer's property to its previous condition when the Leased Equipment is removed. The charge to remove an underground tank can vary greatly and is affected by the size of the tank, access to the tank, the soil conditions and other impediments near or around the tank, among other factors. Customer will be billed on an hourly basis for this work with local labor rates prevailing. The Company will invoice Customer for any third party excavation work performed in conjunction with the removal of the underground tank. The Company may at its option charge Customer for the value of the underground tank in lieu of physically removing the tank from the Premises.
- CUSTOMERS WITH RESIDENCES THAT ARE NOT OCCUPIED YEAR-ROUND. If you are enrolled in the Company's automatic delivery program, you can expect us to make scheduled periodic deliveries to your vacation/seasonal residence based upon a number of factors, including temperature conditions and the number and types of gas-fueled appliances in your vacation/seasonal residence. In return, we depend upon you to notify our office if you should change any gas-fueled appliances; use your vacation/seasonal residence more than normal or any other change or development which may cause your residence to use more propane gas than normal. Please understand that we cannot accept responsibility for any damage caused by your failure to notify our office of any changes in your vacation/seasonal residence or its use which increases your propane gas consumption; and the Company disclaims any and all liability for losses or damages that occur as a result of your failure to provide adequate advanced notice of a need for a delivery in order to avoid an out of gas situation.
- ARBITRATION. Aside from collection matters, Customer and the Company agree that if either party requests, any dispute or controversy between the parties that in any way arises out of or relates to these Terms and Conditions, or any prior agreement, or the Company's provision of goods or services to Customer, will be decided by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Upon a sufficient showing that Customer cannot afford to pay for arbitration costs, the arbitrator may direct that the Company bear the costs of arbitration (but not including attorneys' fees). Neither Customer nor the Company shall be entitled to arbitrate joint or consolidated claims by or against other Customers, or arbitrate any claim as a representative or member of a class or in or as part of a private attorney general capacity. Judgment upon any arbitration award shall be final and binding on Customer and the Company and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction, or an arbitrator with authority to adjudicate the matter, should declare all or any part of this arbitration provision invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this arbitration provision shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the absence of this arbitration provision, Customer may have otherwise had an opportunity to litigate claims in court and/or to have claims decided by a jury. Within thirty days of receipt of this arbitration provision, Customer can elect to opt out of this provision (that is, exclude it from these Terms and Conditions) by sending a written notice to the Company by certified mail at Box 965, Valley Forge, PA 19482, Attn: General Counsel stating that Customer wishes to opt out of this arbitration provision. PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ARBITRATION, NEITHER CUSTOMER NOR THE COMPANY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE ITS DISPUTE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE IN A COURT OF LAW AND BOTH WILL WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. OTHER COURT RIGHTS SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS OR SIMILAR REPRESENTATIVE CASES ALSO WILL BE WAIVED AND SUCH RIGHTS TO TAKE DISCOVERY AND THE RIGHT TO APPEAL ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LIMITED OR ELIMINATED IN ARBITRATIONS. ON THE OTHER HAND, ARBITRATIONS ARE VIEWED BY MANY AS BEING A LESS EXPENSIVE, QUICKER, AND MORE EFFICIENT MEANS OF RESOLVING DISPUTES.
- SURVIVAL. Some or all of paragraphs 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14 and 16 shall survive termination of Customer's relationship with the Company.
- CUSTOMER-OWNED EQUIPMENT. The following provisions do not apply to Customer-owned equipment:
- Paragraph 1: Rent for Leased Equipment
- Paragraph 2: Propane Supply as it relates to purchasing propane only from the Company for use in a container leased from it; however, the remaining portions of the paragraph apply.
- Paragraph 3B: Pump-Out/Restocking Charge and Meter Service Fee as it relates to the pick-up of Company-owned Equipment.
- Paragraph 5: Licenses Permits & Taxes as it relates to permits for tank installation; however, the remaining provisions of this paragraph apply.
- Paragraph 7: Title to Equipment
- Paragraph 8: Access to Equipment as it relates to tank installation or removal; however, the remaining provisions of this paragraph apply.

C'MON! USB 3.0 hubs STILL M.I.A.?
So it's been six months since the entire MacBook Pro and Air line-up has been graced with USB 3.0. The new Mac mini and iMac's have since been upgraded to USB 3.0 as well, albeit with 4 each, so a hub may not be necessary for most people with one of those. Then again, most people buy MacBook's of one sort or another (over 75% in fact) and they only have 2 USB 3 ports, so I can't believe I'm the only one looking for a simple USB hub...?
I know about the Support page on apple dot com, but even with all recent software updates applied - of which at least one talked about how USB compatibility had supposedly been improved - I am still not finding any USB 3.0 hubs except a yellow one from Satechi. (although it looks like they have the same one in grey now) So does anybody have a working USB 3 hub? By that I mean one that works at USB 3.0 transfer speeds? Any recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated? Are there any other people looking for a USB 3 hub?

And to the rest of y'all, excuse the hell out of me for asking a question. I have purchased two USB 3.0 hubs, both of which only work at USB 2.0 speeds. When researching the issue, the supported operating systems routinely exclude all Macs with USB 3. Sometimes, specifically by model, e.g. "Does not work with MacBook Pro w/ Retina display". Still others have 4+ star reviews and the one or two 1-star ones are all Mac owners who scream about how "this hub sucks", despite the fact that the supported OS section only listed every last edition of Windows. Now...all of you who claim to have a working USB 3.0 hub on a Mac, and working at USB 3.0 speeds, I want you to respond and tell me the make and model # so we can see if you're really so completely above me technologically or if all you can do is run a Google search. A'ight???

The one I have now is from IOGear, model # GUH374. I just received a tweet from Belkin, a major accessory maker for all platforms: "unfortunately the only USB 3.0 hub we have is only compatible with window drivers, we have nothing for MAC OS."
To my west coast buddy/Hollywood reject/hater: Ohh, this is a Bay Area vs. L.A. thing, is it? That explains everything. So again, I need a MODEL # for the USB 3.0 hub you claim to have is working at USB 3.0 speeds. Come on, man...you can do it! Simply follow the instructions below: Also, "NMF", "dontpanic", "Mr. Retrofire", "ChrisMan": Click on the logo, select "About this Mac" --> "More Info" ---> "System Report". Then kindly select USB in the left-hand menu that magically opens up and write your MODEL # in your response to this thread. Thus far, only "torana355" seems to be truly interested in helping me find one. All of you made it sound like I'm the only one who doesn't have a USB 3 hub hanging from the side of their Mac. Clearly, you can look this up in less time than it takes you to write another ignorant baseless insult?

I'm not military, but the fact that you say you've been shot at lets me know you're either a veteran or some kind of war photographer trying to re-enter life as a civilian, which doesn't seem to be going all that well. Which I understand and if you're having to deal with the VA, then I feel genuinely sorry for you, because that's the last thing you should have to go through when you're obviously crying out for help.

To the OP, did you have any success with a HUB that reliably performed at USB3 speeds on a retina macbook pro?
I have read the other responses with pastes of random usb3 Hubs that are for sale, but a lot of these now via amazon uk or other have specific mention in the comments that they have issues with retina mbps, in some cases this is acknowledged by the manufacturer. TLDR: I too can use google to find random hubs for sale like the ones in this thread, but I'd like to hear from anyone who is actually running a reliable usb3 hub on a rMBP, and what model number it is, that would be really helpful. am also looking for a reliable USB3 cf reader. Cheers! |

thanks jedolley that's exactly the kind of answer i was hoping for...
although now i'm even more confused as in the feeedback on the link you give it seems problematic, and also elsewhere such as in this listing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Uspeed-USB...item4abd099e1e its clearly marked as not compatible for retina macbook pro... "System Requirements Windows XP/Vista/7, Mac OS (Not compatible with Retina Macbook Pro)" |

I started to get one as there are a few out, but seems the quality of them isnt up to par yet. Reviews are showing like 2 out of 5 stars on most, so leaves me little paranoid. But non the less they are available.

Apple Macbook Pro & USB 3.0 not ready for each other.
I have read so many posts... yes used google.... some don't have even enough power(powered usb 3.0 hub) to sustain the 900ma. Others just say don't work on mac... mountain lion... i have the retina macbook pro & have sent back uspeed... thought i found it with pluggable... but they also have a disclaimer... Apple get with a vendor and make this work.... sell them on your site... who cares we want one that works. and it would be terrific if it would also work with the superdrive, but that's probably too much to ask. http://cdn.macrumors.com/vb/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif |

Posts tagged Devotions
It's the day before Thanksgiving, 2011. I want to thank God for each of you who have walked with me through this study focusing on some of the Minor Prophets. It has not been easy, no?! But you have faithfully stayed the course.
On my wedding day in 1969, my Dad had slipped into my room early in the morning and left a written prayer on the pillow beside me for me to find when I awoke. That piece of paper is precious to me! Through that venue, my Dad allowed me to see a part of his heart toward me. It More >
Humble Beginnings – Hosea 12
Today, read Hosea 12 – 13. Hosea recounts, one more time, the case God presents against His people.
Why does history matter? What purpose is served by looking back to the past and remembering your roots and your ancestry? I am writing this the week before Thanksgiving, 2011. There will be family gatherings all around our country next week. Some will be pleasant and bring great joy. Some will radiate pain and loss. Some will reopen wounds that have never healed. But in them all will be a remembering of past – a remembering of people no longer present at the More >
Jesus, Crucified (Matthew 27
We read today of the pivot point in all history. Read carefully. Read slowly.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Here we see Jesus plumbing the uttermost depths of the human situation, so that there might be no place that we might go where he has not been before.
More >Lord … we are stunned into silence at the foot of the cross. Help us comprehend more fully. Help us understand more deeply. How can our lives express gratitude for this incredible gift? Help us …
A Father's Love
We are in the final week of this particular study. And today we begin the last section of Hosea. Read Hosea 11.
God has carefully, forcefully and dramatically explained to Israel what is going to happen to them and why it will happen. No one will be able to say, "But I didn't know. No one told me." Over and over we have read of the prophets telling the people. It seems that God knows the "point of no return" is very close for Israel … and if He does not bring the severe discipline and judgement now, all will be lost More >
The Roman Trial (Matthew 27
The Sanhedrin condemned Jesus. His crime? Blasphemy. That offense was enough to condemn him to death. However, the Jews did not have the power or authority to pronounce a death sentence. Therefore they had to get the Roman authority to weigh in – only Roman authority could carry out execution. So Jesus is dragged before Pilate, the Roman governor of the region.
Pilate's infamous act of ordering Jesus' execution was carried out in the political backwaters of first-century Palestine. His actions were conducted in relative obscurity, wit no thought that they would have historical and spiritual consequences for all of More >
Peter Collapses (Matthew 26
While the excuse for a "trial" was taking place inside the home of the high priest, Peter was in the courtyard. Peter had been in the Garden of Gethsemane with Jesus and the others. When Jesus was arrested, Matthew told us that someone drew a sword and cut off the ear of the servant of the high priest (26:51) John tells us in his gospel record that the one who drew a sword in the Garden was Peter. And while all Jesus' companions fled from the scene … Peter follows and we find him in the courtyard of the More >
The Vine: Hosea 10 (Week 9
Today, read Hosea 10.
The chapter begins with the description of Israel as a 'luxuriant vine'. That imagery is very familiar to the Israelite people. Let's just look at a couple of other references to the metaphor.
Isaiah 5: 1 – 2, 7 I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard. My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside. He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a wine press as well. The he looked for a More >
The Jewish Trial (Matthew 26
Jesus and his disciples leave the Garden of Gethsemane. It is night time. That is why Peter and James and John had such a hard time staying awake while Jesus prayed. Judas approaches leading the ones that were sent to arrest Jesus. It would not have been an orderly Roman company of soldiers. I think we get a better sense of the scene if we think of it as a mob – more like a lynch mob in the western movies we have watched. Judas kisses … steps back … and the events begin to escalate.

Reap the Whirlwind: Hosea 8 – 9 (Week 9
We are continuing our study of the 3rd section of Hosea. Today, read Hosea 8 – 9.
Two thoughts come to mind as we read these chapters that continue the litany of offenses that Israel has committed against God.
First … in 8:7 the language uses the metaphor of the whirlwind for Israel's condition. Living on the Gulf coast, we know hurricanes. I have just read an historical novel by Erik Larsen, "Isaac's Storm". It is about the deadly hurricane that hit Galveston in 1900. The destruction is almost unbelievable … as the entire path for a city was changed.

FEARNET Movie Review - Grabbers Virtually every film festival in the world has a handful of charming little Irish movies hiding in the fringes. And if they don't, they should. Sincere drama about little but real characters; light comedy that almost always brings some heart and sweetness to the fore; tough stories about violent histories; and dark thrillers based on myths and legends that barely register with an American audience. So clearly I'm a fan of films made in Ireland. Scott Weinberg - 01/24/2012 - 5:52pm - 0 comments

For many NFL fans, the best way to watch a big game like Sunday's NFC Championship between the 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons is with a small group of friends and family.
And often the best place is your house or a friend's house, especially with the soaring popularity of big screens and high-definition broadcasts.
But if you prefer to be among the cheering crowds and want to venture out for Sunday's big game, here are a few options:
Firestone Public House, 1132 16th St.: If you like an energetic group, this hip spot features 60 beers on tap and 16 flat screens. Get there early (opens at 9 a.m.) it will be packed.
Clubhouse 56, 723 56th St.: It has one of the biggest screens we've ever seen, a neighborhood vibe and breakfast starting at 9 a.m.
Bisla's, 7042 Folsom Blvd.: This popular spot was voted Sacramento's top sports bar for 2012 in KCRA's A List.
Players, 4060 Sunrise Blvd., Fair Oaks: With 36 TVs, there's not a bad seat in the house.
B.J's, multiple locations: If you're looking for a place that's a bit more mellow, try one of the five area locations (Arden Fair, Natomas, Elk Grove, Folsom and Roseville). Great brunch plus specials in the bar during NFL games.
What to watch
NBA, L.A. Clippers at Minnesota, 5 p.m.; Miami at L.A. Lakers, 7:30 p.m., TNT: With this doubleheader, Thursday night's still must-see TV.

These boots are great for the price. I climb almost daily but not all day.

PS these are the only boots I''ve ever owned that lasted over a year as I am extremely hard on footwear

Good line work boot. Fits tight around ankle had to move the laces around so it would fit without pinching. Really easy to work in never caused a blister or a hot spot. Comfortable look good good to climb in for short periods. waterproofing works. Made in China though makes me wonder how long they will last. Only boot I can find of Carolina''s made there.

How to: Hold Your Own White Elephant Gift Exchange (Pinnacle-Style)
At Pinnacle, we hold a White Elephant Gift Exchange for our employees around Christmastime each year. Every employee that wants to participate brings in a wrapped present (we set the budget around $10 per gift, but you can instruct your guests to spend any amount of money, as long as it is standard across the board). The presents are organized in a designated area and left untouched until each participant has had the chance to pull a slip of paper with a number on it out of a hat; the count of numbers is based on the total number of gifts contributed to the game.
Once everybody has their number, the person who draws #1 can approach the gifts and choose one to unwrap. Then, the person who drew #2 can either "steal" person #1′s gift or bring a new gift into play by choosing one from the pile to unwrap. As the game continues, each player can choose to "steal" a gift that a previous player has unwrapped (up to 3 "steals" per gift, at which time it is considered out of play and remains with the third participant to "steal" it from its original owner) or select a new gift from the pool.
A few of the amusing gifts that made it into Pinnacle's White Elephant Gift Exchange this year were:
-an entire set of mismatched dishes
-a statue of monkeys depicting the "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil" saying
-a dragon incense burner
-several store giftcards
-a bag of 850 gumballs
-a book of "Awkward Family Photos"
-a giant remote control + VHS tape of "Saved by the Bell"
-bumble bee promotional stress ball
-and more!

February 6th, 2012 at 6:26 pmI have been to a few white elephant parties and most of the time the gifts that were being stolen the most were anything out of the ordinary. Usually something you don't see every day that is still somewhat useful. With a gift limit of only $10, I was amaze at all the weird and wacky things I could get while keeping my bank account happy. I found this online store while doing a Google search containing many things that are just perfect for a white elephant party. The link is below and hopefully this helps with your future white elephant gift parties!

Welcome, guest
Sun May 1, 2005
In the midst of high-profile hedge fund launches and a record number of hedge funds managing more than a billion dollars in assets, one thing seems certain and that is that the number of hedge fund managers that are hitting the "big time" is on the rise. Yet the growing number of colossal hedge funds continues to pose real problems for investors who rush to follow the herd into brand names and fancy pedigrees, with many finding themselves locked out of the top funds.

Even though key features of the federal Affordable Care Act are now in place, the conversations continue over the law's implementation in Oklahoma.
The Republican-controlled state government continues to object to the federal mandates that are part of the new law.
Oklahoma state government, led by Gov. Mary Fallin, declined to set up a state-run exchange or accept additional Medicaid funding from the federal government.
Gov. Mary Fallin will wait until after the 2014 election to lead a petition drive to let voters decide whether to enact stricter smoking bans in their cities.
The Tulsa World reports Fallin, who is up for re-election, will wait until after next year's elections to lead the effort. A spokesman for Fallin says waiting gives the measure a better chance for success.

When the rest of the government shuts down for a blizzard, the U.S. Supreme Court soldiers on. And so it is that this week, with the rest of the government shut down in a political deep freeze, the high court, being deemed essential, is open for business.
It is, after all, not just any week for the justices. It is the opening of a new term.

The second week of the shutdown is, so far, looking a lot like Week 1. Even so, here are a few data points that might be worth your attention:
U.S. civilian defense workers heading back to work on Monday
As The Two-Way's Bill Chappell reported earlier, the Department of Defense is ordering most of its furloughed civilian employees — amounting to about 400,000 workers — back to work.

Good Monday morning, fellow political junkies. The partial shutdown of the government enters its second week and on Day 7 of the crisis neither side appears to have softened its position.
At least furloughed federal workers got the good news over the weekend that Congress had approved giving them backpay for the time they are locked out of their jobs.
Here are some of the more interesting news items with greater or lesser political import that caught my eye this morning.

This is from the Manager's Desk.
In preparation for the membership drive, I've been looking at the costs of the various programs on KGOU.
Of course, the morning, noon and evening week day programs are the most expensive – both to acquire from NPR and to add the local news and information. But the three together – Morning Edition, Here and Now and All Things Considered add up to about $20,000 per week.

The federal shutdown that has idled some 800,000 government workers could be over by now — if members of Congress were able to vote on a bill that doesn't include an attack on the new U.S. health care system, President Obama says. "There are enough votes in the House of Representatives to make sure that the government reopens today," he told The Associated Press Friday.

Mission Possible: Organization for Autism Research's Innovative Initiatives Outreach to Latinos
The "Learn the Signs. Act Early." campaign's Innovative Initiatives program is in full swing and is already producing great results. Below is a snapshot of the great efforts by one national partner to reach underserved populations with the important message of learning the signs of development.
Who: The Organization for Autism Research (OAR).
The Mission: To raise the level of awareness of developmental delays and the importance of early childhood screening in at least 500 Latino families in Georgia—the third fastest-growing Latino population in the United States.
The Project: To train promotoras (Latino community health workers) to educate parents on early childhood development and how to identify potential developmental delays in select Georgia Latino communities. Promotoras have been used with great success in health promotion and prevention in the Latino-based community because they have an intimate knowledge and understanding of Latino culture, language, and communities.
To train the promotoras, OAR used campaign messaging to create bilingual materials, including a promotora training guide, flip charts, and magnets. Using these materials, OAR conducted a 1-day promotora training session with 18 participants in Duluth, Georgia. The training focused on preparing the promotoras to work in their communities to raise awareness of childhood development and the warning signs of developmental delays.
The Test: A week after the training session, the promotoras put their training to the test at a local Latino community health fair with nearly 2,000 attendees. OAR hosted a table at the health fair staffed with 12 of the trained promotoras. During the health fair, they spoke with parents about the importance of monitoring a child's development and early intervention. They also distributed campaign materials and magnets with the campaign's toll-free number.
OAR Executive Director Mike Maloney stated, "We know there are language and cultural barriers to reaching Latinos with health information. Targeting promotoras took us past those obstacles, and this training helped them to develop a working knowledge of the campaign's messages in a practical way. With this information in hand, the promotoras can now educate more Latino parents about child development. I feel strongly that their training will have a positive impact on the level of awareness among Latino communities in Georgia and ultimately, across the country, as OAR, other CDC partners, and the CDC continue to expand their efforts."
The success of OAR's training is another example of the organization's dedication and commitment to educating communities about the importance of monitoring developmental milestones and early intervention.
Stay tuned for more exciting news from our other Innovative Initiatives partners!
Dr. Georgina Peacock: A Developmental Pediatrician's Thoughts about the Campaign
Georgina Peacock, MD, MPH, who joined the campaign in 2007 recently sat down with Campaign Connections to answer some questions and provide her viewpoint about the "Learn the Signs. Act Early." campaign. A developmental pediatrician, she joins us as an Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) fellow at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In this second feature profile, Dr. Peacock shares with us her thoughts on the importance of monitoring developmental milestones. Learn more about Dr. Peacock from the August 2007 issue of Campaign Connections.
Q. What is the most important advice you can give to parents to help them monitor their child's development?
A. The most important thing parents can do is interact with their children by doing things like playing and reading books with them. Parents are experts in their own child's development, so when they sense that their child is experiencing a delay or something "isn't quite right," it is important to bring this to the attention of the child's doctor.
Q. Why do you think it is important for not only parents, but health care professionals and child care providers, to look for developmental milestones?
A. It is important to have different people in a child's life monitor his or her development. Each person might observe a child in a slightly different way and detect a developmental delay that may otherwise go unnoticed. Also, children sometimes act differently in different situations. For example, for a child who does not have brothers or sisters, there may be opportunities to see peer interaction in a child care setting that wouldn't be seen at home. Monitoring milestones is one way of making sure that a child is reaching his or her full potential. The "Learn the Signs. Act Early." campaign website has an interactive milestones checklist that can be filled out by various people to help get an idea of how a child is functioning at different ages. Click here to view, print and download the milestone checklists.
Q. When traveling to conferences throughout the country, what do you hear people talking about related to child development and the campaign?
A. When I am at conferences, people often tell me that they really like the campaign materials and find them easy to understand and use. Many have told me that they distribute the materials to parents and doctors to use as reference and educational tools. They often talk to me about the importance of monitoring children's development and are glad that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is interested in helping create awareness about the early signs of developmental delays and autism.
Q. Before you joined the campaign team, you were a champion talking to other parents and distributing campaign materials in your community. What inspired you to be a champion with the "Learn the Signs. Act Early." Campaign? Why is it important for champions to distribute campaign materials to health care professionals, child care providers, and other parents in their communities?
A. I wanted to use the campaign materials because I believe that it is very important to identify children with delays as early as possible. These materials are a way to start the conversation about development. Parents, health care professionals, and early educators are all interested in children and child development; so, reminding them to "Learn the Signs." is easy.
Q. Looking to the future, what direction do you believe the campaign should take?
A. It is important for health care professionals, parents, and early educators to not only understand child development, but also to know where and how to refer children for services if they suspect a delay. Because of this, it will be important for the campaign to provide more referral resources to help connect children to services that can help them maximize their potential.
Look for Dr. Peacock at several health care professional and child care provider organization conferences in 2008.
Healthy Advice Networks
The campaign partnered with Healthy Advice Networks to distribute 700 Health Care Provider Resource Kits and 800 sets of informational cards for patient literature racks in women's health practices all over the nation. Healthy Advice Networks is an organization that provides health education materials and programs to patients during doctor visits. The organization also will air the "Learn the Signs. Act Early." campaign public service announcement (PSA) on its closed-circuit television network in more than 40,000 primary care and specialty physicians' offices, reaching an estimated 200 million patients each year.
Keep an eye out for the campaign's PSA and materials the next time you visit your doctor!
African-American Outreach Reaches New Heights
With amazing results so far in reaching out to African-American communities through megachurches, the campaign team continues to attend conferences and community events to introduce the campaign to this audience across the country.
Campaign Reaches Far and Wide Through the Full Gospel Baptist Church International Fellowship Conference
The campaign partnered with the Greater St. Stephens Full Gospel Baptist Church to have a presence at the Full Gospel Baptist Church International Fellowship conference in Atlanta. The 2007 International Conference connected largely African-American organizations with more than 4,000 church leaders, 30,000 families, and thousands of businesses and community organizations. We distributed a new multicultural flyer at the conference and displayed all of the campaign's free resources for parents, health care professionals, and child care providers.
Campaign PSA Touches the Sky Through Daystar Television Network
Through our exposure at the Full Gospel Baptist Church International Fellowship conference, Daystar Television Network, the second largest Christian television network in the world, has partnered with the campaign to air the "Learn the Signs. Act Early." PSA. Daystar has a potential audience reach of more than 128 million viewers in the United States alone, which includes 60 million cable and satellite homes. You just may see the PSA on a television near you very soon!
Campaign Connects with Child Care Provider Organizations Across the Nation
In 2007, the campaign developed relationships with government and nonprofit organizations that work with child care professionals and early educators to promote the "Learn the Signs. Act Early." campaign and its free resources.
Since launching the child care provider component of the campaign in November 2006,
- More than 13,000 resource kits have been distributed.
- Nearly 40,000 people have visited the child care provider section of the website.
- Nearly 5,500 child care provider materials have been downloaded.
The campaign team would like to thank all those organizations who helped to make the following child care provider outreach opportunities possible:
- Nearly 900 Child Care Providers Resource Kits sent to Early Head Start (EHS) grantees and regional EHS centers.
- Articles about the campaign and availability of the Child Care Providers Resource Kit placed in
- Healthy Child Care, a bimonthly publication reaching 25,000 people.
- Child Health Talk, a quarterly newsletter distributed to 2,000 National Black Child Development Institute members
- The National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies' (NACCRA) newsletter and NACCRA's website, which has 5,500 subscribers and nearly 77,000 visitors a month.
- The Southern Early Childhood Association (SECA) newsletter and the SECA Reporter, reaching 250 SECA leaders and 20,000 members.
National Health Center Week Outreach Update
For the second year in a row, we contacted public health centers participating in National Health Center Week to let them know about the campaign and to offer materials to support local health fairs and other events. Through these centers, the campaign helped increase awareness about developmental milestones and delays among parents of children who rely on public health centers for needed care. The campaign was successful in engaging more than 70 organizations in 31 states to distribute more than 70 Health Care Provider Resource Kits, 10,000 information cards, and 5,000 flyers, reaching diverse populations of medically underserved and uninsured patients.
Campaign Partners and Champions "Paint the Country Purple" for National Autism Awareness Month 2008
The campaign enjoyed another exciting National Autism Awareness Month in April. To support this important awareness initiative, the campaign launched the "Paint the County Purple" challenge. This challenge aimed to spur organizations and individuals to canvass local communities across the United States with campaign messages and materials. During the month, we hoped to encourage you—our campaign partners and champions—to rise to the challenge and conduct creative outreach activities to raise awareness about the importance of monitoring childhood development. We are eager to highlight some of the fantastic outreach activities that have been submitted for the challenge in an upcoming issue of Campaign Connections and our partner spotlight series—stay tuned.
Maria Abinader
"Hearing the diagnosis of 'autism' for the youngest of my four children left me and my family feeling like we were in a tunnel of the unknown," says Maria Abinader, a campaign champion and parent advocate in her Hispanic community. The Learn the Signs. Act Early. campaign resources helped Maria and her family to navigate that tunnel to understand and help Maria's youngest child, Luli.

If you like this kind of music then you'll love the movie. to know the story of Joy Division. this movie was great.
I grew up a fan of Joy Division. As I entered adulthood, I became a greater fan of New Order. There wasn't much that I hadn't read about JD/NO. It almost seemed that I was right there with the band. When Deborah Curtis published Touching From a Distance, I read it with great fervor. I wanted to know more about the band. What I learned was that Joy Division was not just Ian Curtis. Sure,
I really enjoyed this movie because Tyler Perry exposed the truth in a lot of marriages, there are so many marriages that have no trust, controlling, adultery and secrets. Each couple had issues that needed to be exposed. I thought each couple worked out their differences and I really enjoyed Jill and Troy story in the movie when she lost the weight and remarried. I also loved the 80/20 percent

Hi, I am new to this forum so I hope this question hasn't been asked before. We have a pentair water cleaning system. We have recently noticed that the potassium permaganate is ending up in our water tank. We have tried doing the obvious remedies but nothing seems to work. So the system is being bypassed at the moment. Any ideas on how we can remedy this?
What water tank? Is it a storage tank that then water is pumped/sucked out of and then another pump or gravity refills it like a cistern from a well or rainwater, creek, river etc.? Or is it a storage tank on your roof and gravity feed to the fixtures? If so, assuming the filter is on mains pressure, what is your mains pressure in psi?
Is the time of day set correctly and is the filter programmed to regenerate when no water is being used?
Is there more water in the PP tank than normal?
How old is the filter or, how long have you had it? Has it worked in the past or not?
Click Here to learn how to correctly size or program a water softener.
CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
I had a customer wit the same problem......pink water and the dog paid the price. LOL
hehe, wouldnt surprise me. When the water comes out of the faucet like that, it is scary.
Personally, i like trying to rinse down pyrolox, that media is dirtier than... dirt.
Carbsorb is another, it can run to the drain looking like the river from Charlie and the chocolate factory for hours during the startup procedure. 9% ash doesnt help.

Rising Power Prices: The Metering Industry's Big Break?
San Diego Gas & Electric turns vendor heads with its plan to install real-time meters, but the company could face heat from regulators.
This is a landmark event ," says Bill Rush, a physicist at the Gas Technology Institute, and a gas industry expert on electric utility metering systems.
"We now have a very large order for real-time metering equipment that is compliant with industry standards. This plan, and the vendor interest we've seenit's the first clear sign that people in the industry are actually willing to buy this stuff."
Rush was talking about the request for proposals (RFPs) sent out in mid-August by San Diego Gas & Electric Co., asking vendors for bids on the $25 million first phase of its multi-year plan to install real-time (hourly interval) energy meters throughout its service territory. On Sept. 1, as this issue was going to press, SDG&E reportedly was meeting with vendors, answering questions about its RFP and explaining details about equipment specifications and compliance with industry standards. Only a month earlier, in the heat of the summer and under severe political pressure, the utility had outlined its metering plan to the California Public Utilities Commission.
In its application filed on July 31 , SDG&E had touted interval meters as one way to counter the "unprecedented" price spikes that had rained down like a plague on its electricity customers this past summer. (In fact, SDG&E filed its plan just six days after the San Diego City Council had passed a resolution urging the state PUC to support statewide real-time metering as a way to lower electricity prices.) Under the plan, the utility would spend $25 million to install real-time meters by the start of next summer for all of its 22,000 customers (2 percent of meter accounts, 46 percent of system peak load) with peak demand levels equal to or greater than 20 kilowatts. Meter installations would begin a year later for Phase II, involving residential and other small-volume customers with electric loads less than 20 kilowatts. (PUC rules already require all customers above 50 kW to have real-time meters if they choose direct access from a competitive energy supplier other than the distribution utility.)
Yet not everyone was happy with the plan. Steve Linsey, a policy analyst at the PUC's Office of Ratepayer Advocates, and the project coordinator for SDG&E's meter proposal, warned that his office would be filing a protest against the plan on Sept. 7.
"We haven't totally figured out what we're going to say," said Linsey, when interviewed on Sept. 1, "but there are several areas of concern. First, should all customers between 20 kW even have real-time meters? Second, should SDG&E as a utility be the designated installer, provider, and procurer of those meters?
"Offhand," explained Linsey, "It would seem that if the PUC decides that customers between 20-50 kW should have [an hourly interval] meter, then it should be up to the customers to decide who to get it from."
Linsey's concern stems from the fact that in California, the PUC has deregulated metering and billing,
