In this year's Deck the House contest, the second time was the charm.
Joseph Felix's home in Dallas, GA outshined the other 24 finalists to win the 2012 Deck the House contest and $100,000 for the Paulding County, GA school district.
After placing second in the nationwide voting in the 2011 contest, the Felix home received nearly 11,000 votes this year to finally win Deck the House.
The home, with 100,000 computer animated holiday lights choreographed to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You," received about 300 more votes than a home in Coventry, R.I., which finished in second place.
Joe Koss, from St. Clair Shores, entered the contest for the first-time this year and finished in the top 10 of voting. Koss and his family utilized social media to invite friends and neighbors to vote in the contest in their quest to win $100,000 for South Lake Schools.
Judging by the 80 comments on the Felixes' Deck the House submission, visiting the home has become a holiday tradition in Dallas, a suburb about 45 minutes outside Atlanta. Many people said they bring their children every year and that the Felixes' hard work putting together their holiday lights display was worthy of national recognition.
The Felixes' holiday lights aren't just for show. According to their website, Joseph and his wife, Jenny, began using their holiday lights display in 2006 to raise money for Relay for Life, a national cancer charity, collecting $12,000 from 2006-2010. With their Deck the House win, the Felixes now have raised even more money for a worthwhile cause—$100,000 for their local schools.
Patch will present the Felixes with their $100,000 prize check during a local presentation in early 2013.
Big congrats to the Felix family for winning our 2012 Deck the House contest!

"Poll" showing 73 percent approval for Mayor Lee was flawed
There was a poll conducted in late November by the University of San Francisco, the results of which were released in conjunction with the San Francisco Chronicle, claiming that 73 percent of San Franciscans approve of Mayor Ed Lee's performance.
It didn't take long for Lee's supporters to begin touting the figure as fact; soon after the poll appeared on SFGate.com on Dec. 9, the results wallpapered the comment section of the Guardian's website as the answer to any criticism of Mayor Lee, his policies, or the city's eviction and gentrification crises.
After all, it was a big number that seems to suggest widespread support. But closer analysis shows this "online poll" wasn't really a credible poll, and that number is almost certainly way over-inflated. [Editor's update 1/13: The authors of this survey contest the conclusions of this article, and we have changed the word "bogus" in the original headline to "flawed." The issue of the reliability of opt-in online surveys is an evolving one, so while we stand by our conclusions in this article that the 73 percent approval figure is misleading and difficult to support, we urge you to read Professor Corey Cook's response here and our discussion of this issue in this week's Guardian.]
The problems with the USF "poll" are numerous, but the most glaring of those issues has to do with its lack of random selection. According to the New York Times Style Guide, a poll holds value in what's called a "probability sample," or the notion that it represents the beliefs of the larger citizenry.
The USF poll registered responses from 553 San Franciscans. That number itself isn't the issue, or it wouldn't be if those 553 individuals were procured through a random process. But they weren't, and it wasn't even close.
The survey participants were obtained via an "opt-in" list that, according to David Latterman — a USF professor, co-conductor of the poll, and downtown-friendly political consultant — meaning that anyone who participated in this particular poll had previously stated they were willing to participate in a poll. This phenomenon is known as self-selecting.
"We work with a rather large national firm and they have a whole series of opt-in panels," Latterman told the Guardian. "So they've got lists of thousands of people who have basically said, 'Yes, we'll take a poll.' And the blasts go out to these groups of people."
That means that even prior to conducting the poll, results had already been tailored toward a certain set of citizens and away from anything that could be classified as "random." And even the Chronicle acknowledged in the small type that "Poll respondents were more likely to be homeowners," further narrowing the field down to one-third of city residents, and generally its most affuent third.
Even if pollsters could match the demographics of the polled with the "true demographics" as Latterman called them, it still wouldn't address the issue of self-selection. But that's not all: The list of "opt-in" participants, which was acquired through a third party vendor, according to Latterman, only contained English-speaking registered voters. And anyone contacted was contacted via email, another red flag in the world of accurate of polling data.
Interestingly, the USF "poll" also found that 86 percent of respondants said that lack of affordability was a major issue in the city, while 49.6 percent of that same group considered housing developers to be most at fault for the astronomical real estate prices. So, to recap: This poll, touted by many people as gospel in the comment section of this site, found that while the City is totally unaffordable, the man in charge of the City is barely culpable for that situation, and he remains incredibly popular.
According to the NYT Style Guide, "Any survey that relies on the ability and/or availability of respondents to access the Web and choose whether to participate is not representative and therefore not reliable."
Uh oh.
Russell D. Renka, professor of Political Science at Southeast Missouri State, conveyed far stronger feelings on the matter in his paper "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Public Opinion Polling," saying that a self-selected sample "trashes the principle of random selection… A proper medical experiment never permits someone to choose whether to receive a medication rather than the placebo."
Strike two.
He then writes, "Any self-selected sample is basically worthless as a source of information about the population beyond itself."
Strike three.
So then why were such frowned-upon methods used in this poll?
Latterman attributes the tactics to many things, but mostly to the rapidly changing technological landscape of San Francisco, coupled with the high costs of alternative methods and a large renters market.
"San Francisco is a more difficult model," Latterman said. "So Internet polling has to get better, because phone polling has gotten really expensive."
But even if Internet polling needs to improve, it is still important to prominently note that in original source material, lest you give folks the wrong ideas. Or even just misinformed ones. Unless what you're trying to present is less about polling that trying to sell San Franciscans on the idea that Mayor Lee enjoys widespread support.
In fact I rarely meet anyone who hates him - at worst, it is indifference.
But given that there is nobody even remotely in the frame for mayor until lee is termed out after his re-election, isn't the issue moot?
In the real poll, 50% more SF'ers voted for Lee over Avalos. If that isn't a landslide, I do not know what is.
In fact, rarely do I meet anyone who likes him. At best, they express indifference.
The people I talk to also say that winning an election with such a low voter urnout can hardly be called a landslide.
Even with RCV, if he were so popular (which is wasn't and is not) he would have won 51% of the votes in the first round and been declared the winner.
Instant-runoff voting: From Wikipedia:
"Ballots are initially distributed based on each elector's first preference. If a candidate secures more than half of votes cast, that candidate wins."
Lee did not.
They do if they are extraordinarily, exceedingly and extremely popular, as you like to pretend your god Lee is. Do you ever remove your head from your saviour's upper colon? It has got to be pretty rank in there by now.
time around, so the moderate vote was split many ways.
Avalos had no serious competition on the left, so the initial rounds made him look good.
But Lee won in the end because far more people didn't want Avalos than didn't want Lee.
They sound like objective people you talked with versus a Lee hack from the Chamber of Commerce or a shill for Ron Conway.
With a low voter turnout, no candidate even one I would support can be declared as having a "landslide." That's crazy and desperate thinking.
50% more people voted for Lee over the anti-jobs candidate Avalos.
Please elaborate.
question about how he would create jobs. Insofar as he covered the topic at all, he talked about only public-sector jobs and extending the local hire rules.
I cannot recall a single thing Avalos said during his entire campaign that would have helped create a single extra private sector job. But he suggested many things that would have hurt business and jobs.
While Lee's top three topics were jobs, jobs and jobs.
Given that voters polled as regarding jobs as easily the number one issue, Avalos was doomed from the start. He would only talk to his own people i.e. unions and activists.
What are the things he suggested that would have hurt businesses and jobs?
You m.o. is to write general claims that are unsubstantiated and insert rhetoric.
less regulation or lower taxes?
You shouldn't have wasted your time asking. Probably another phony poll that Reed Nelson will expose as bogus in another couple of weeks or so, that that Lee sucker that you responded to fell for again. That Lee sucker that you responded to falls for anything if it's positive for their savior Lee. That person has got to be on someone's payroll or getting something out of it. Who would still be campaigning for Lee every single time there's an article published about him such as this?...other than some corrupt piece from the Chamber of Commerce, RonConway or some other corporatist pleb.
And there is no viable alternative for the next election so you are further away from ever from having a lefty mayor.
Suck on that.
What a very mature response. It speaks so highly of Lee and the type of people he has supporting him.
So he is right.
lee is popular? are you 12 or are you on the payroll? do some research.
Many are over 60% and one is over 70%.
So yes, Lee is popular. That is why and how he won in the first place.
so...what does that mean?? really? some misguided people checked a box so he is a good mayor?? lets just look at the facts of how this city is being compromised more and more. How Lee spreads his legs for big business, silicon valley, and taking away the livelihood of our cities cab drivers with his blatant nepotism. name one positive thing he has done that has actually BENEFITED the CITY!!!!!the entire city! not his daughter, or Google, or the Elite scumbags....but the CITY!!! good luck on your search for that .
I'd like a pony too.
But that is meaningless since there is no coherent policy that anyone can offer to magically make SF homes affordable to most people.
It's an expensive town, and not everyone who would like to live here, can afford it.
Steven, the citizenship test is conducted in English. If you cannot understand English, you cannot pass the citizenship test. And if you are not a citizen, you cannot vote anyway.
So, yeah, 99% of non-citizens in SF may hate Lee. But that is irrelevant because they do not have a vote.
You do reaize that, given the city's huge Asian Pacific population, if the poll had included a Chinese language version Lee's ratings would have been higher, not lower.
Asian and Pacific Islanders would vote for Lee just because he is Asian. (And many Asian and Pacific Islanders do not speak Cantonese / Mandarin or read Chinese.)
You are also assuming that a large percentage of Asian and Pacific Islanders are Democrats.
1 out of 10 Asian and Pacific Islanders I talk to like Lee. Most I have spoken to don't like him. At best, they express indifference.
And...many Chinese I know are Republicans.
Actually, Ed Lee is about as popular as Syphilis in the Ping Yuen housing projects at Stockton and Broadway.
No, Ed Lee is more popular than Rose Pak.
Reed, thank you so much. That lays that to rest.
Test is all I've been able to get on this site today. Unable to comment.
Only trite one-liners seem to get through. Serious analysis gets blocked by the capctha thing.
Not verbose.
Another test.
Ed Lee is a puppet to Rose Pak and the entire 3 candidate voting is a sham. Shame on SF!
Responding to: Posted by Guest on Jan. 10, 2014 @ 5:36 pm
Steven did not write the article. Reed Nelson wrote the article. This phony poll should have been conducted in multiple languages, just as the San Francisco Registrar of Voters prints all of their voter paperwork in multiple, international languages for all eligible registered voters to use in their preferred language that they are most comfortable in.
and therefore for voting.
The United States has no official language.
conducted in English and so, in practice, non-English speakers cannot become citizens (with an exemption for those over 70).
That's why voting materials are printed in multiple languages.
What do you expect from the "Lie Ed, Lie" team?
to my knowledge.
The Guardian would be better off if it spent more time electing people who support its policies to office and less trying to delegitimize those with which it disagrees. There hasn't been a progressive mayor for decades, no thanks to your lack of focus.
That's why a moderate mayor always wins.
The rest is just hope and despair.
In fact, I don't believe this City will ever elect a progressive mayor again.
San Francisco elected Gavin Newsom in 2003. They elected a raging douchebag socialite from Pacific Whites who was heavily tied to SF's billionaire elite and who gained political notoriety by promoting an anti-homeless agenda. And that was 11 years ago. Since that time, SF has become only more expensive, more gentrified and less progressive. The SFBG reports on this almost daily.
So considering the demographics have shifted even further towards the "moderate" base, I have no idea how in the hell you think the established moderate incumbant who already has the full Chinese vote on lock will ever lose. Delusional.
And there is nothing that can be done about that
I'm glad you put the word "moderate" in quotes. Even though they hide behind the word "moderate" to get elected here, it's time to stop this newspeak and bull shit of using the word "moderate" (just because they use it) to describe CONSERVATIVE politicians who come with a broad smile who hide behind the word "moderate" in order to get elected in San Francisco.
It's a tactic/strategy that has been used for some time here. It's time for everyone to stop falling for it and repeating it. Conservative is what it is and what they are. They are Corporatists. Just look at the rabid, conservative, smug, nasty supporters this man has on this site. There's nothing so-called "moderate" about them, or their rabid in-your-face-fuck-you-suck-on-this agenda and tone.
Conservative? Never.
...for some town in Texas. San Francisco can do better.
What has Texas done to deserve that piece of work? I wouldn't even force him on Topeka.
The man is not that bright to begin with. He just does what Rose, Willie and Ron tell him to do. He's their puppet, and an embarrassment to the city.
He is doing what he said he would do if we elected him.

Giants no-hitter drought ends
Indians now own longest no-hitter drought in Majors
Jonathan Sanchez ended the Giants' no-hitter drought with his gem against the Padres on Friday night. Ironically the Padres are one of four franchises -- along with the Rays, Mets and Rockies -- who have never thrown a no-hitter.Sanchez is the first Giant since John "The Count" Montefusco on Sept. 29, 1976, to throw a no-hitter. Of the 26 franchises that had tossed a no-hitter, the Giants had gone the longest without pulling off the feat.

Start Posting Your Healthcare Jobs:
I had not used EmploymentCrossing to post jobs in the past, but had come across your information and decided to give it a try and could not believe the positive response I received.

EmploymentCrossing makes the hiring process much simpler and saves you money in the process. All you have to do is create the description for your job and with a few clicks you can post it to 30+ job boards across the web.

If an applicant finds your job listing on any of the 30+ websites we post it on, they can apply directly through EmploymentCrossing and can answer any interview questions you come up on our site.

|Hi! Wing It Vegan is currently on its annual hiatus. It might take me a while to reply to comments, messages, emails, love letters, hate mail, and all that good stuff. I had to turn on that hateful word-verification thingie for comments due to too much spam - it is rather annoying, sorry about that! Thanks for stopping by!

Vegan MoFo: Leek and Mushroom Pie
Did I take this picture or did I tear it from a 70's cookbook?
*Drool* The creamy filling is leeking all over! Ha ha! Ha ha! Get it? Leeking? Ha ha! *Snort*
Today's TV show is Downton Abbey! For some silly reason I refused to watch this show for the longest time. Then one day I was being a couch potato and trying to find something to watch, when I found a show that caught my attention on PBS. It was Downton Abbey! Now I'm hooked and can't wait for the next season. All the characters are so fabulous - and there are lots of characters! My favorite character by far is Violet, played brilliantly by Maggie Smith. What a treat she is! She's smart, funny, and very skeptical of new technology. Electricity? No thanks. Telephone? Horrid thing! She once told someone to "put that in your pipe and smoke it", which gave me a uncontrollable fit of the giggles. There's lots of drama, there are some very funny moments (most of them involving Maggie Smith's character), and the scenery, costumes, and sets are beautiful.
OMG, look at the time! I have to go home and get my Leek and Mushroom pie started!

wow! this looks phenomenal! the filling looks so flavorful and creamy and...like it needs to be in my belly!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep. My belly highly recommends it! :DDelete
I love Downton Abbey! I can't wait to watch the newest season.ReplyDeleteReplies
I know! It's hard to be patient knowing that it's already airing in the UK. Not fair!Delete
Pie crust, mushrooms and leeks...how could you grow wrong?ReplyDeleteReplies
Can't go wrong with that combo for sure!Delete
Oh. Mur. Gurd. That filling is the creamiest filling of all the fillings in the whole entire world. Not a word a lie.ReplyDeleteReplies
Word! And it's so simple too! *swoon*Delete
I really like the look of the mushroom leek pie, and it's a great flavor combination but I'm really stopping to comment to say: DOWWWWNNNNTOOOONNNNN!!!! I was the same - hesitant to get into it, but it totally won me over. Dame maggie smith is perfect!ReplyDeleteReplies
Go Downton!! Maggie Smith is such a funny lady and the show wouldn't be the same without her. Classic Violet: "Put that in your pipe and smoke it" :DDelete
Oh boy. I have little tart pans that are waiting for something like this. But they are one-piece pans and the bottom doesn't push up. How do get the little pies out?ReplyDelete
Love Downton Abbey.Replies
What a great pie!ReplyDelete
I love Downton Abbey. I get so cranky though because they don't screen it here until months and months after it screens elsewhere!Replies
GRRR! I wish TV shows were available to watch online anywhere in the world. I'd pay for them and sit through some commercial breaks if I could watch Downton early!Delete
Oh my goodness that pie, that PIE! The filling looks really good and even though it's getting a bit warm to have the oven on, I am determined to make this and soon!ReplyDelete
Yay Downton - Violet is a funny old thing, I really enjoy the show :)
And I am loving the duck photos, they are so cute!Replies
It's definitely worth turning on the oven! I think Violet is one of my favorite TV characters of all time - of all time!!Delete
- Replies
Yep. That sums up this recipe! :PDelete
I have to admit, your picture of the Leek and Mushroom Pie is the tastiest one I've ever seen in my life, River. Do you have a background in food photography? :) This recipe is one of the most nutritious mushroom recipes, you know. Here's what it has: Vitamin A 30%, Vitamin C 20%, Calcium 8%, Iron 20%.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have a background in food gluttony... does that count? Thanks for the nutritional info, Mack!Delete

Another pointless fiscal battle is taking shape in Washington
(New Castle News / New Castle, Pa.)
The chest thumping continues in Washington. And the problem-solving is nowhere to be seen.
Once again, House Republicans have their sights set on pulling the plug on the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. As in the past, the effort will come to naught.
President Obama has vowed to veto the latest House measure should it reach his desk, but it won't. Senate Democrats will never advance it.
That's the way it's been with a series of House votes intended to target Obamacare. They accomplish nothing, other than appeal to a political base that celebrates confrontation and despises communication and compromise.
This time around, however, the vote may be more than symbolic nonsense. The move is tied to a larger effort to temporarily extend funding for the federal government. Unless Democrats support the Republican effort to end fiscal support for Obamacare, there won't be enough money to fully fund federal operations.
Plus, in the near future, Washington would run out of authority to borrow more money and risk defaulting on debt.
The consequences of that would be catastrophic for the economies of the nation and the world. So common sense says the politicians in Washington may threaten such a move, but they won't allow it to happen. Republicans insist shutting down the government is not their goal.
But these days, common sense and Congress have little to do with each other.
For the first time this week, some House Republicans advanced an alternative to Obamacare. That's a step forward, because so far, the party hasn't offered anything of consequence to replace the Democratic health plan.
Yet rather than use their proposal as a platform for generating support for a different health care system, Republicans continue to play the same game: Get rid of Obamacare and then come up with something else. Sometime. Some day. Maybe.

Boutonnière deformity (BD) prevents you from straightening your finger. The disorder affects the finger's system of tendons. The tendons allow you to flex and straighten your finger.
In BD, the tendon on the top of the finger (called the central slip) is torn or cut from the other tendons. This creates a tear that resembles a buttonhole (or boutonnière in French). The middle joint is forced down and the fingertip bends back. The tendons on this part of the finger are flat and thin. They are prone to injury. If you have BD in the thumb, it affects a joint called the metacarpophalangeal (MCP).
BD can be caused by:
- A powerful blow to the finger
- A cut to the finger's central slip
- An injury to the middle finger joint (called the proximal interphalangeal [PIP] joint)
- A severe burn on the hand
Risk Factors
These factors increase your chance of developing BD:
- Having rheumatoid arthritis or Dupuytren's contracture
- Participating in rough sports, especially those involving catching and throwing balls (eg, football, basketball)
Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors.
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to BD. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
- Pain and swelling on the top of the finger's middle joint (the PIP joint)
- Inability to straighten finger at the middle joint
- Sign of injury (such as fracture or dislocation) to the PIP joint
- Sign of injury (such as fracture or dislocation) to the MCP joint
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done, paying close attention to:
- Muscle strength
- Joint damage
- Range of motion
- Presence of swelling
- Evidence of infection
- Tenderness in the finger
An x-ray may be done to see if you have a fracture.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Your doctor may recommend the following medications:
- Corticosteroids—to reduce inflammation
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)—to reduce pain and inflammation
Nonsurgical Approaches
For milder cases, the treatment is nonsurgical and may involve:
- Applied to the middle joint to fully extend it
- Used for 3-6 weeks
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
- Other techniques: massage, ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation
If your finger does not improve, you may need surgery.
Surgery is needed in severe cases. For example, when the tendon is cut or when the deformity has lasted a long time. Surgery generally does not return your finger to the way it was working before the injury. But, you may have some improvement. After surgery, you will have to do exercises to strengthen the finger.
To help reduce your chance of getting BD, take the following steps:
- Wear the proper equipment when playing sports.
- If you have rheumatoid arthritis, ask you doctor about ways to protect your joints.

Mineral Powder and Blush, The Naturally Flushed Look
Jun 23, 2010 10:54:05 AM
A healthy glow is one thing - but no one wants a shiny complexion. Using powder blush and facial powder this summer will provide a natural look and cut down on the glare factor.
Our skin may have a glow of its own this season, but a touch of the right makeup will give a refined look with little effort. Lavera Mineral Powder creates a matte surface and extends the wear of eye makeup and blush. Choose from either compact, in two shades, or loose powder.
It's In the Eyes
Jun 17, 2010 1:07:14 PM
There are certain items that can be found in almost any make up bag. Concealer, blush, mascara...But eye shadow is a different matter. Some swear by it, others never touch the stuff. Several wear it when they dress up, many smudge a little on every day.
And other issues come into play where eye shadow is concerned. The color of your eyes and how deeply set they are makes a difference in which shades you choose. And which type of look you are going for — a more awake, brightened up look or a smoky, sultry gaze — influences your decision too.

They're still a little jet lagged, but our team of producer Betty
Newman and videographer Paul Cirenese returned from the 2012 Spring Festival of LXs in Irvin, Calif.,
supercharged from the collision of customized LX-based vehcles
and the enthusiasm and commitment of their owners. Betty tells
me the seventh go-round of the LX Fest was bigger, louder and a bit
more crazy than last year's, and that's all good.
So take 4:21 and take in highlights of the big weekend in SoCal
courtesy of Betty and Paul....and make plans to be there next March
for the 8th LX Fest!

(RNN) – Neither Auburn nor Missouri was expected to compete for a berth in the SEC Championship Game, much less earn one.
Neither team made a bowl game last season, and Auburn had a particularly remarkable turnaround from last year's 3-9 season in which it lost all eight conference games. Missouri last year won two SEC tilts over Kentucky and Tennessee but fell one win short of bowl eligibility.
The routes they took to their respective division championships were different, but their approach was the same.
Auburn is coming off back-to-back dramatic wins against its two biggest rivals, but coach Gus Malzahn said each game is independent of all others on the schedule, and Saturday in Atlanta will be no different.
"Playing for a championship, there's no time to relax," Malzahn said. "Each week, we present a challenge to our team. The team has risen to the challenge each time. The team has found a way to take it a week at a time, and that's what we have to do."
If Missouri coach Gary Pinkel hadn't spoken before Malzahn during the coaches' teleconference Sunday, you would think he just paraphrased his opponents' response in discussing his team.
"We're going to focus on Missouri," Pinkel said. "It's not about who we play, where we play, it's about how we play. We've never emphasized that more than this year. We have great respect for our opponent, but the bottom line is, it's about making plays. It's still about being able to focus and play your best game."
Both teams will be playing their third straight ranked opponent and their sixth overall.
Missouri (11-1, 7-1) has the second-best rushing attack in the SEC, averaging 236 yards per game. Auburn is first, averaging 318. Missouri has the defensive edge, however, ranking second in the conference by allowing 119 yards on the ground per game compared to Auburn's 157, which ranks eighth.
Auburn (11-1, 7-1) is coming off a 296-yard rushing performance against then-No. 1 Alabama, which was in the top five nationally against the run entering the Iron Bowl. The Tigers have two players – running back Tre Mason and quarterback Nick Marshall – ranked in the top 10 in the SEC in rushing.
That presents a different challenge from anything Missouri has seen this year, and Pinkel said his defense won't be able to afford mistakes that Auburn can exploit.
"Auburn is a great running team and has a scheme that causes a lot of nightmares," he said. "It's going to be about disciplined, physical, assignment football. Hopefully, we can get our scheme down and give our best efforts."
Missouri's defensive front, including end Michael Sam who leads the conference in sacks and tackles for loss, will play a key role in stopping Auburn's ground game.
"We play a lot of players on the defensive side to keep them fresh," Pinkel said. "Coming into the league, you know the SEC is a line of scrimmage league. If you're not good up front, it's hard to win at a high level."
Running back Henry Josey has been Missouri's go-to player all season. But dual-threat quarterback James Franklin and Missouri's trio of tall receivers – L'Damian Washington, Dorial Green-Beckham and Marcus Lucas – could cause the most trouble for an Auburn secondary ranked next-to-last in the SEC.
"Their receivers are big and long and fast; they're playmakers," Malzahn said. "They do both well – run the football well, throw the football well – and that's the toughest offense to stop most of the time. Our secondary will have to play very well against their receivers."
Missouri earned its berth by closing out the season with a 28-21 win over Texas A&M. They overcame their lone loss of the season to SEC East rival South Carolina.
Auburn needed late-game heroics against both Georgia and Alabama in its final two games. The one loss of the year came on the road to LSU.
This year's SEC championship game is a little different than in past years because the conference may not have a representative in the BCS championship game. Auburn is currently ranked No. 3 in the BCS standings and Missouri is No. 5.
The winner will get a strength of schedule boost from the game, but so will No. 2 Ohio State if it beats No. 10 Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game Saturday.
No. 1 Florida State will play No. 20 Duke on Saturday night, but the Seminoles (12-0) only need to win the game. They don't appear to be in danger of being passed over by the SEC champion. That is a possibility for the Buckeyes (12-0), thanks to a lack of top competition in the Big Ten this season.
Malzahn wouldn't discuss a potential BCS coup, saying only, "our league is the top league in college football."
Mizzou's coach wasn't so reserved. Being ranked lower, his team is in a more difficult position than Auburn, and Pinkel has the added perspective of having been a head coach in the Big XII prior to the school's transition to the SEC last season.
"With any one-loss team, hopefully (strength of schedule) will be taken into consideration," Pinkel said. "I've been in the Big XII, but it didn't take me being in the (SEC) to understand and respect the league. They should look at that and should take strong consideration due to strength of schedule. We're playing a great football team, and we'll see where it goes."
The only thing Auburn and Missouri can do is win the game in front of them and hope for help from Michigan State, Duke or people with votes in the polls that comprise the BCS ranking.
The SEC has won nine of the 15 BCS national championship games, including the last seven, and is one of only two conferences with multiple BCS championships (the Big XII has two). Additionally, the SEC is the only conference to have two teams in the game in the same year, which was also the only time an SEC team lost in the title game.

Comments about Concept Sports Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Womens Hooded Jacket:
This is better used as sleepwear. Got two of these for others as Christmas gifts. They were way too small and super thin material. The decal is a simple iron on and I could see it coming off after numerous washes, these are priced way too high for the quality,

'This festival provides a unique function in British musical life.' The Independent
The 2014 Festival was a celebration of Anglo-German collaboration marking a number of significant anniversaries - 300 years since the Hanoverian succession, the 300th birthday of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, the 300th anniversary of our wonderful venue, St John's Smith Square and not forgetting our own anniversary - 30 years of the Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music.
Lindsay Kemp, Artistic Director, reflects on the 2014 Festival and looks ahead to the future:
I hope you'll agree that our 30th-anniversary celebrations of the Festival and Lufthansa's long-running support for it really did make for an extraordinary occasion. My thanks go out to our sponsors Lufthansa German Airlines and Roll-Royce plc, and of course to our wonderful artists - there were some truly special performances this year. More than ever before, however, I'd like to send out a big thank you to all our audience members and followers for their inspirational support over three decades. 30 years may seem like a blink of an eye compared to the 300 since the Hanoverian accession of 1714, but it has involved the participation of some remarkable people in that time, both on the stage, behind the scenes and in the audience.
It's an extraordinary legacy, and one which we on the Festival team are determined not to let go of, now that one of the longest-running and enlightened of cultural sponsor partnerships has come to a close with Lufthansa's withdrawal at the end of the 2014 Festival. As someone who was first an audience member in the 1980s, then a producer of the radio broadcasts during the '90s, and finally Artistic Director, I've been immensely touched this year to discover how much this Festival also means to so many of you, and how much you also want it to continue.
We fully intend to be back next May with more outstanding performances by the world's leading Baroque musicians, but we need to raise a lot of money yet. If you want to help us, you can find out more by clicking on the panel to the right of these words. We're very proud of what this Festival has already achieved, so let's make another 30 years our goal!
'The Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music has done much ... over the past 30 years, creating a metropolitan audience for idioms and eras that have little to do with the "classical music" peddled by mainstream ensembles.' Financial Times
Help secure the future of the Festival
After 30 years of sponsorship Lufthansa German Airlines has decided to reallocate its philanthropic support to other endeavours.
The current Festival's artistic and management team will remain in place and will shortly announce plans for the inaugural London Festival of Baroque Music.
If you would be interested in helping to fund the Festival in future please download the brochure about our new Friends scheme.

Highlights from the 2014 Festival
A sneak peek behind the scenes...

Mid-week we were delighted to welcome Pierre Hantaï, Aapo Häkkinen and the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra giving us the rare opportunity to hear all three of J. S. Bach's concertos for two Harpsichords.
'It was a pleasure to hear the harpsichords burbling away in the virtuosic hands of Pierre Hantaï & Aapo Häkkinen.' The Telegraph
We also had our annual visit to Westminster Abbey to enjoy the angelic voices of the Choir of Westminster Abbey accompanied by St James's Baroque with soloists Ruby Hughes, Iestyn Davies, and Matthew Brook.
'O'Donnell gave full expression to the dramatic possibilities of the score without exaggerating or caricaturing them.' Classical Source
The Festival ended with a unique collaboration with Europe's oldest festival of Baroque music, Göttingen International Handel Festival. Laurence Cummings directed NDR Choir (Hamburg) and FestspielOrchester Göttingen with soloists Anna Dennis, Renata Pokupić, Kenneth Tarver and Tobias Berndt (pictured below, l to r) in Handel's Joshua.
Photos: Jonathan Rose
'Joshua is stirring stuff, with plenty of bellicose choruses, sung here with superb fervour and not a trace of an umlaut by the choir of North German Radio.' The Telegraph
'A stimulating end to another intelligently devised Lufthansa Festival.' Classical Source

Fantastic news Ralph!

That's about as nice a Christmas present as you could ask for! I'm so glad the treatment was successful, I just lost a friend last month after a 5 year battle with colon cancer.
Excellent news Ralph, we'll keep Dave on our prayer list. Let us know how the "plumbing" surgery goes.
I bought an old tractor all dusty and worn,
knew nothing about her just the year she was born
I washed her and greased her and painted her red
Now she lives happily right here in my shed.

That's great news, Ralph. I know how Dave must feel since I had similar news just two months ago. There are no signs of my cancer remaining.
Dave is fortunate to be a candidate for getting things put back together. Extensive radiation damage makes it impossible for me.

Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
Evidently this is another weak spot! Fixed mine by reaming out w/dremel and applying JB Weld - hope it holds. Don't know that it affects anything except leaking water. Dusty B

Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
Nice high crop wheels also.
Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
Probably a freeze crack. Not that it matters now of course. I have one cracked in the same place. Repaired mine with JB weld also. I'll replace it if I decide to restore it. Glad to see you've started on it Val! Sounds like a good time for a mini fest
Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
I can't tell by the pic how bad the crack is, but I bet it can be brazed up and ground down to look nearly as good as new. If it's behind the grill....nobody would notice. But...somebody may have a good one out there.
Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
While you have the radiator off, check if where the radiator attaches is bowed by putting a straight edge across it. That is a common problem if it has frozen. If it is bowed, the radiator is probably also bowed to match, and if you change the casting you may need to use some rtv compound in addition to the gasket to get a good seal. If the looks of the weld do not bother you too much, just smooth it and leave it as is, it will not hurt anything. I have seen them where they have been so badly distorted from freezing that the hand crank would not go in, but they were still functional other than not being able to get the crank in.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
I gather that the weld is not leaking coolant. As long as there is no other major problems with the bolster, I would leave the welded area alone and use the bolster. Could pretty up the welded area with Bondo or epoxy, smooth up and paint.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
Don't let that bolster stop you Val I can bring this to Boss's. I think it is a '52 if the date code matters. I can check if needed. I have also shipped them before. ($35-$40 USPS I think)
Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
I bough a beautiful bolster from Dale at a fair priced and even shipped to me. By the way Dale, I used the inflated inner tube you used for packing on my 154!
Know Your Cub, And Your Cub Will Know You.
Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
Glad you could use it. When shipping something that heavy, you have to make sure the box is full, and that is what I had handy
Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
That reminds me of a package I got several years back. I bought a generator and a radiator shroud. He put them both in the same box with no packing material. I don't know what the shroud looked like when it went in the box, but you can imagine what it looked like when it came out.
Re: '48 trimmed dash high and wide
I learned my lesson. I shipped an angle drive and pulley. They filled the box so I taped it up good and sent it. I got the box back in the return mail, and the post office never did find those 2 big, heavy red pieces of cast iron.

Baseball Workout for Pitchers
Baseball can be good to play for the sake of fitness and healthy body. There is the dire need to focus on your moves while playing the game and you can also focus on others' moves so that you may steal the ball with fast pace and may score in others' way. So, baseball techniques can also be read only if you focus on a few techniques. The techniques like pitcher workout, you can enjoy living and can have quality workout in baseball. The baseball is the game which is really great to play and we all should play it with tips and techniques.
When it comes to steal the ball, the first steps of the person is important. Such drilling can be done with some tennis ball, verbal signals and a live pitcher. Such techniques can be great and can have quality results. There is no better way to improve the skills of stealing without facing the pitcher practicing of pickoff moves of the person. Such opportunity is not always available for the person. Every one of us can have quality result by stealing the baseball with ease. There is the need to have pitcher pickoff moves in mind to break ball out.

SpaceShipOne was the first privately developed, piloted vehicle to reach space. This suborbital air-launched spaceplane completed the first manned private spaceflight in 2004. Launched from its White Knight mothership, the rocket-powered SpaceShipOne and its pilot ascended just beyond the atmosphere, arced through space, then glided safely back to Earth. The flight lasted 24 minutes, with 3 minutes of weightlessness. This museum-quality handcrafted model comes complete on base, perfect for display. Master craftsmen, working from three-dimensional drawings, handcraft each model from either the finest Philippine mahogany or state-of-the-art composite. Each model is shaped with remarkable precision and attention to detail. Several stages of fine sanding, between primer coats, produce a smooth finish ready for final painting. Talented artists using ultra-fine brushes and decals, paint the nose art, stripes and markings. A final coat of clear polyurethane provides lasting protection and brilliance.- Scale:1/40 scale model- Wingspan:17.5"- Length:12"

Montville — Keith Porter scored 24 points as New London High School won its sixth straight Eastern Connecticut Conference boys' basketball tournament championship with a 52-39 victory over Norwich Free Academy on Friday night before an overflow crowd at St. Bernard.

The Wildcats, who trailed 46-26 midway through the fourth quarter, went on a 13-0 run to pull within eight, but New London scored the final five points.
Both teams upset higher-ranked teams to reach the final. NFA beat No. 1 Ledyard 57-49 in the semifinals while New London defeated No. 2 Woodstock Academy 78-76 in overtime.

This Goodman GSZ130301 has some cosmetic damage incurred during shipping. The front left bottom corner is dented and the front side is bowed in. For detailed photos please click 'See Additional Images' above. This Goodman GSZ130301 meets the full manufacturer's specifications, comes with the full manufacturer's warranty, and includes Alpine's premium guarantee. For product specs and photographs of product in its original condition, click here.
The Goodman® GSZ13 heat pump uses the environmentally friendly refrigerant R-410A and features operating sound levels that are among the best in the heating and air conditioning industry. R-410A is chlorine-free to help prevent damage to the ozone layer. With its 13 SEER rating, the GSZ13 will help reduce energy consumption throughout the life of the system.
This heat pump requires an indoor air handler or evaporator coil as part of a complete system. What tonnage coil or air handler should you use? It depends on two factors about the heat pump: 1) the tonnage, and 2) the efficiency rating (listed as "SEER"). Usually, high efficiency heat pumps are required to use a larger tonnage coil than the tonnage of the heat pump. (For example, a 2 ton heat pump might be paired with a 3 ton or 3.5 ton evaporator coil.) To find the specific coils or air handlers that are recommended by the manufacturer for this heat pump, please click on the Accessories tab above. (Also, you can view the manufacturer's specifications sheets at the Documents tab above).
Some models of the Goodman heat pumps include an orifice (also called "flow rater" or "piston") in a small bag taped to the side of the heat pump. If the heat pump you purchase includes this orifice, you will need to replace the orifice already inside the Goodman evaporator coil or air handler you purchase with this orifice included with the heat pump. Doing so makes the heat pump and evaporator coil compatible. You can view this step-by-step guide to see how to easily change the orifice.
If you are installing a heat pump with a backup heat source which will be a fuel furnace , you will need to install an electronic all fuel kit. This kit switches between the two heat sources as needed and prevents both the heat pump and backup heat from running at the same time. Alternatively, you can install the Honeywell VisionPro 8000 (TH8320U 1008) thermostat which has the all-fuel kit functionality built into it already, in which case an external all-fuel kit would not be needed.

Please note that this heat pump equipment comes pre-charged with R-410A liquid refrigerant and by Federal law cannot be released to the atmosphere. Yes, you can purchase this equipment without being EPA certified. And, if you are mechanically inclined you may perform about 90% of the equipment installation yourself. However, we strongly recommend to have a professional heating/cooling contractor do the final part of the installation including managing the refrigerant. An HVAC contractor has the tools and know-how to do this work. Also, having a contractor perform the final startup and inspection of this heat pump validates your warranty with Alpine.
