Great day pack with unique breezeway through a trampoline…
Source: received it as a sample, freebie, or prize (Mountainsmith directly)
Great day pack with unique breezeway through a trampoline back. Reduces sweat and increases air circulation. Actually has type of shell behind trampoline suspension. Option for bladder. Sturdy and durable. I'd recommend for day outings or plain everyday use.
- Trampoline back
- Durable
- Option for bladder
- Smaller capacity
- Water resistant only
Great pack for bike riders or day outings. It has an option to include a bladder. If you don't use it, its a great place for documents, wallet, etc. I received it as a gift and haven't looked back.
What makes this unique is also a reason that it can be seen as being a con. It has a trampoline back that will rest directly against you while wearing. Between the trampoline suspension (i.e. your back) and the pack is a hard shell to give it its shape and keep a breezeway (as they call it) to allow air circulation. Check out my picture below. From the profile you can see this gap. Even when fully loaded there will still be this gap because of the shell. Unfortunately, the con is that this shell reduces the space available in the pack. The shell is curved, and of course not directly against your back, thus reducing how much you can pack.
It is highly water resistant, but not waterproof. The straps and buckles (at the chest and waist) are well constructed too. I mainly use the chest buckle. I can see this being used for kids, women, or men. I have only had for about one month, but I think it can take a beating being thrown in the trunk or against brush if bushwhacking.
As for accessibility and organization, the pack is smaller at the bottom and wider at the top, similar to an upside down pyramid of sorts. This is mainly due to the construction/hard shell frame.
Well priced, durable. I'd definitely recommend to others. Great for kids taking on a light retreat or family vacation too. Another good aspect of the pack is that it has the option to include a bladder (not included though)
Peter, I had to double check online, but it's a 3L pack, not including the reservoir.

Handcrafting Valentines each year for the kids to give to friends is a fun ordeal in our house! Here are a few ideas for handmade Valentines taking advantage of the quickness Fiskars tools adds to assembly-line cards. And the cuteness!
You Rock
These go together very quickly and are always a hit with the kids!
1. Create text box twice the width of candy and tall enough to cover up all of the miscellaneous cover text.
2. Add text as shown and print. Trim edges with pinking edgers or shears.
3. Fold around wrapper and staple at side seam so you do not disturb candy inside.
4. Add three music note punches randomly.
I'm Bananas for You
This monkey is not only incredibly cute, he goes together very easily with a few punches.
1. Punch an XL circle, XL heart, XL oval, and two pop-up punch circles.
2. Punch two 1/8 inch circles from heart as shown. This allows you to add eyes by simply layering without adhering little pieces.
3. Adhere monkey pieces together as shown.
4. Add candy bananas (sold in bulk at candy stores) to treat bag, fold over top of bag and staple once.
5. Cut a folded piece of cardstock with scalloped blade and staple over top of bag. This is a good time to address "to" and "from" on back of cardstock before assembling.
6. Add monkey piecing and sentiment strip to front as shown.
You're Grrrrreat!
Add a fun face to a lollipop to give it personality! Here are two versions depending on how much time you have to spend!
Simplified Version
1. Trace 2.5 inch circle onto back of orange cardstock using shape template.
2. Cut along drawn circle with Alligator decorative edgers.
3. Punch a large circle and adhere centered.
4. Draw on mouth and add small punched heart for nose and googly eyes.
5. Adhere to front of lollipop with glue dots.
6. Print out sentiment onto cardstock, gently fold, and adhere to stick as shown.
7. Punch XL circle to add "to" and "from" to back of lollipop.
Alternate Version
1. Trim 1.25 x 12 inch strip of orange cardstock. Using scoring blade in rotary trimmer, score every one quarter inch and accordion fold.
2. Adhere ends together and press down at center to flatten and adhere to punched circle with strong adhesive.
3. Continue the same as above beginning with Step 3.

I received the ring on time and I was amazed by its sparkle. My future wife was also amazed and told me I did good with the selection of the Halo diamond...she loves it and is still in shock!

My fiance was blown away by the ring and how much it glistens when any type of light hits it. I often catching her staring at the ring, I would not have been able to get the same quality of ring anywhere else.I was extremely happy with not only the quality of ring and diamond I received, but the level of customer service that was given. Every time I called I received a different customer service/diamond expert and each time was amazing. They gave me so much information about the diamonds and gave me options, I never felt as if I were being pushed into purchasing a ring. I would highly recommend Blue Nile to anyone looking for quality jewelry and service.

Audi Exhaust Pipe Parts
Back to Exhaust Pipes parts
Audi Exhaust Pipe Parts
Audi is an elite auto company that is highly respected for having a tremendous track record in producing quality vehicles with sophisticated features out of their H.Q in Germany. They are a famous and appreciated brand identified with crafting some of the highest quality luxury vehicles out there. Audi's high standards are put into all of their vehicles and products, even in their exhaust pipe parts and components. If you notice things other than your exhaust coming from your Audi's exhaust pipe, this is a symptom of a problem. If there is oil in your exhaust, it is imperative that you solve the issue right away. Remember that almost any warning sign of oil coming out of your exhaust means that you need a professional diagnosis. Your Audi's PVC valve permits the airing of controlled levels of internal gases into your combustion chambers, where they are burned. When it gets clogged up, it can force your Audi's engine to become internally pressurized. This results in oil pushing past vital seals and into your exhaust flow. It can result in a blue-like smoke, lower fuel economy, and oil-ridden spark plugs. You can address this issue with a replacement valve, though. Valve guides are an internal piece of your Audi's engine that helps to manage the flow of gases into and out of your engine. They are lubricated by your engine's oil and have seals around their shafts that can get worn out. When this occurs, it lets engine oil in and leaks through the worn out valve. It continues to flow into the exhaust gases and accumulates in your vehicle's exhaust pipe. This issue will usually be sidled by bluish colored smoke stemming out of your exhaust. FCP Euro has a variety of Audi exhaust pipe parts and components, as well as all of Audi's general parts.
Audi Exhaust Pipe Parts Online
Your Audi's head gaskets seal's the "heads" of your engine to the block. They are a piece of the intake and exhaust system and seal the numerous fluid areas between the heads and block. When a head gasket becomes faulty, fluids can get through the seal and into your Audi's exhaust stream. This will commonly bring on issues such as, overheating, lower power, bad fuel economy, and harsh idling. Your Audi's pistons gather energy from fuel combustion. Igniting this fuel mixture brings them up and down in their bores, allowing energy to transport your Audi. They are also sealed in their bores by piston rings, which are lubricated by engine oil. When these rings get worn out, oil and fuel will flow past them into the exhaust system. This will result in a white to bluish smoke discoloration and a loss of engine power. FCP Euro's exceptional and passionate call center team is always available to lend a hand with any support or questions you have. If you would like information to help find out which exhaust pipe part is the best for your Audi, FCP has a far-reaching inventory for the Audi brand. Check out FCP Euro's website for all products, as well as our continuously updating catalog. If you have questions, would like to put in a phone order, or just have feedback, do not hesitate to give FCP Euro a call at 877-634-0063 to connect with our service friendly team.

MRSC Tools and Resources
Note: This article was originally published in 2001 and has been updated to reflect changes
that took place in 2008. Read more about the 2008 state and federal laws
and current requirements for local governments.
Since the tragic events of September 11, many government employees have entered
into military service or have been called into active service from the military reserves
and National Guard. As more people enter or return from service, issues involving military
leave and the reemployment
of returning reservists will undoubtedly arise. This page answers some of the
anticipated issues and provides links to other useful resources.
(Note: some of the answers to the questions set out below have application
both to employees taking annual military leave and those who have been called
into active service. Also, reference should be made to local policies and union
contracts to see if a different answer is required.)
Which employers must comply with the state and federal regulations?
The state and federal regulations apply to all public and private employers,
regardless of size. Thus, cities, towns, counties, and other local governments must comply.
Which employees have rights under these laws?
The regulations apply to employees who perform duty, voluntarily or involuntarily,
in the "uniformed services" (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard) and
the Public Health Service, including the reserve forces of each of the services.
The covered employees include all whose employment is other than temporary.
Employers should be aware that courts have construed the word "temporary" very
narrowly. One commentator has indicated that "other than temporary" might be
limited to seasonal employees and those employed by contract for a specified
Is an employee protected from unlawful discrimination by an employer based
on military affiliation?
Yes; the federal Uniformed Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) provides protections for initial hiring
and adverse employment actions by an employer if the action is motivated even
in part by the employee's military service.
Must an employer allow an employee time off so he or she can participate
in military training or active duty?
Yes. Under Washington law, an employee is entitled to a military leave of absence
for a period not to exceed 21 days each year beginning October 1 and ending
the following September 30. During military leave or active duty, the employee
continues to be paid his or her regular salary regardless whether the employee
was ordered to take the training or whether he or she volunteered.
Does the 21 days of leave refer to work days or calendar days?
The 21 days of leave granted by the statute has been construed to refer to
work days. State Employees v. Personnel Board, 54 Wn. App.
305, 311 (1989).
If an employee works only four hours a day, does he or she qualify for a
longer leave?
Under a 1999 attorney general opinion, a day is calculated according to the
number of days the person would have worked, but for the military training
or active duty. Thus, if the employee were scheduled to work four hours on a
day, but for the military commitment, that one day would constitute a military
leave day. Similarly, if the employee was scheduled to work 12 hours on a single
day, that too would constitute one military leave day. See AGO 1999 No. 2.
May an employer refuse to allow an employee to attend scheduled drills or
annual training?
No. Employees must be excused from work to attend inactive duty training (drill)
or annual training.
May an employer require an employee to reschedule drills, annual training,
or any other military duty obligation?
No. According to a fact sheet prepared by the National Committee for Employer
Support of Guard and Reserve, when military duties require an employee to be
absent from work for an extended period, during times of acute need, or when
(in light of previous leaves) the requested military leave is cumulatively burdensome,
the employer may contact the military commander of the employee's military unit
to determine if the duty could be rescheduled or performed by another member.
If the military commander determines that the military duty cannot be rescheduled
or canceled, the employer is required to permit the employee to perform his
or her military duty.
May an employee be required to find someone to cover his or her work period
when military duty interrupts the work schedule?
No, an employee is responsible for notification but not for altering the work
schedule or finding a replacement.
Must the employee be paid by the employer during his or her leave of absence?
Neither state nor federal law requires payment for an employee's term of active
duty except for the 21 days of military leave each year available to
employees engaged in military training. However, the employee may use accrued
vacation or other similar paid leave, if he or she chooses to do so.
Is leave available to the spouse of an individual called into military service?
Yes. Under the state Military Family Leave Act, the spouse of a member of the armed forces,
National Guard, or reserves who has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty
or has been deployed is entitled to a total of 15 days of unpaid leave per deployment after the
military spouse has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty and before
deployment or when the military spouse is on leave from deployment. See
Is leave available to the family members of a person called into military service, if that
person is injured?
Yes. For an employee covered under the federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), there is
"military caregiver leave" that allows the employee to take up to 26 work weeks of unpaid leave
during a single 12-month period to care for a family member who became injured or ill during military
service. Eligibility is available to the spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin of a service
member who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy, is in outpatient
status, or is otherwise on the temporary disability retired list, for a serious injury or illness
incurred in the line of duty on active duty that may render the service member medically unfit to
perform the duties of his or her office grade, rank, or rating.
Must an employer grant leave to an employee who is called or volunteers
for active duty?
Yes. An employer is required to grant a military leave of absence to a reservist
who is called to or volunteers for active duty. The same rights apply whether
the reservist is called or volunteers.
Is prior notice to the employer required for leave of absence for military
Yes. Unless precluded by military necessity, advance notice must be provided
either orally or in writing. While timeliness of notification is not spelled
out in detail under USERRA, employees who participate in the National Guard
or Reserve should provide their employers as much advance notice as possible.
Failure to provide notice could result in a denial of the protection of USERRA.
When may an employer require an employee to provide documentation of military
After periods of military leave of absence of more than 30 days, the employer
has the right to request such documentation, which can be used to establish
the employee's basic eligibility for protection under USERRA.
May an employer hire a replacement while the reservist is on active duty?
Yes, the employer may hire a replacement while the regular employee is on military
May an employee be forced to use accrued vacation for a military leave of
No, but the employee may use such leave, at his or her option.
Is the employee entitled to health benefits or other fringe benefits while
on military leave?
If an employee was provided health benefits before being called into service,
USERRA provides for COBRA-like benefit continuation while he or she is absent
from work, even if the employer is not covered by COBRA. If a person's health
plan coverage would terminate because of an absence due to uniformed service,
the person may elect to continue the health plan coverage for up to 18 months
after the absence begins, or the period of service, whichever is shorter. The
person cannot be required to pay more than 102 percent of the full premium for
the coverage. If the uniformed service was for 30 or fewer days, the person
cannot be required to pay more than the normal employee share of any premium.
On return from service, health insurance coverage must be reinstated without
any waiting period or exclusions for preexisting conditions, other than waiting
periods or exclusions that would have applied even if there had been no absence
for uniformed service. This rule does not apply to the coverage of any illness
or injury determined by the Secretary of Veterans' Affairs to have been incurred
in, or aggravated during, performance of service in the uniformed service.
Most government employers provide vacation leaves to their employees. And most---if
not all---vacation policies tie accruals, that is, the actual accumulation of
vacation hours, to their employees' seniority. For example, a person returning
from three years of service may have passed a time benchmark where that person
is entitled to build vacation at an increased rate (e.g., from one week a year,
to two weeks per year), but that person would not return to find three years
back vacation waiting.
If an employer allows accrual of vacation for employees who are on furlough
or leave of absence, then a person of similar seniority, status, and pay who
is absent for uniformed service is entitled to the same benefit, because USERRA
treats the individual as being on furlough or leave of absence while performing
uniformed service.
As to pensions, USERRA requires that returning employees who meet the law's
eligibility criteria must be treated as if they had been continuously employed
for pension purposes, regardless of the type of pension plan the employer has
adopted. This applies to vesting (determining when the employee qualifies for
a pension) and also benefit computation (determining the amount of the employee's
monthly pension check). Absence for service is not considered a break in employment
for pension purposes. Also, an employee who would have become eligible to participate
in a pension plan during that individual's time in the service should be placed
in the plan retroactive to the date of initial eligibility. If the employer
contribution is contingent on the employee's contribution, then the employee
must make his or her contribution before the employer is obligated to make its
Does the employee continue to accrue service credit under PERS or LEOFF
for the time he or she is on active service?
Maybe. Depending upon the plan and the time of service, the employee may accrue
service credit while on active military duty. Specific information should be
sought from the state Department of Retirement Systems.
Must the employer continue to pay contributions to the LEOFF and PERS retirement
plans during the time the employee is on active duty?
A qualified "no." While the employee is actually on active duty, there is no
requirement that contributions be made. However, upon the return of the employee,
the employee may purchase service credit for the time he or she was on duty.
If the employee pays for the credit (payment of interest is not required), the
employer must pay its share, with interest. Different rules may apply depending
upon the retirement plan involved and the dates of the employee's service. The
state Department of Retirement Systems should be contacted for specific information.
What conditions must be met by a returning reservist in order to qualify
for reinstatement?
A person who leaves a civilian job to enter active duty is entitled to return
to his or her civilian job after discharge or release from active duty. However,
there are five basic eligibility requirements under federal law:
Must the employer reinstate the returning reservist to his or her prior
The employer must offer the returning employee "an escalator position," which
might be the job he or she would have had if employment had not been interrupted
by military service, or a position of like status, seniority, and pay. If the
employee is not qualified for his or her previous position because of an injury
sustained during military service, he or she is entitled to reemployment in
any other position for which he or she is qualified, if that position provides
similar seniority, status, and pay of his or her previous employment.
This "escalator" position refers to the concept that the returning employee
does not step back on the "seniority escalator" at the point he or she stepped
off to enter into military service. Instead, the employee steps back on the
escalator at the spot he or she would have been had he or she been continuously
employed during military service. The employee thus benefits from any cost of
living and/or step increases granted to similarly situated employees during
the time he or she was gone.
On the other hand, an employee who would have been laid off or discharged but
for the fact that he or she was on a military leave of absence may not be entitled
to reinstatement upon return. The employer has the burden in such instances
to prove that circumstances have so changed as to make it impossible or unreasonable
to reemploy the person; the employee is no longer qualified for the position
and reemployment would impose an undue hardship; or the employment the employee
left was "temporary," with no reasonable expectation that it would continue
USERRA specifies that returning employees must be "promptly reemployed." What
is prompt will depend on individual circumstances. Reinstatement after three
years on active duty might require several weeks to allow giving notice to a
replacement employee who might have to vacate the position.
What if the returning employee is disabled and would not be able to perform
his or her prior job?
If the returning employee is unable to perform the duties of his or her prior
job because of a military-connected disability, the employer must make reasonable
efforts to accommodate the disability so that the person can perform in the
position. If, despite reasonable accommodation efforts, the person is still
not qualified for the position, he or she must be reemployed in a position of
equivalent seniority, status, and pay (the "alternate position"), so long as
the employee is qualified to perform the duties of that position or could become
qualified with reasonable efforts by the employer. If, however, the returning
employee is unable to become qualified for the original or alternate position,
the person must be employed in a position that, consistent with the circumstances
of the person's case, most nearly approximates the alternate or original position
in terms of seniority, status, and pay.
Is a returning veteran granted any additional rights of employment upon
his or her return?
Yes. If the tour of duty was for more than six months, the returning employee
may not be discharged within one year of his or her return, unless the discharge
is for cause; if the period of duty was for less than six months, the employee
cannot be discharged within six months of return, except for cause.
What are the penalties for noncompliance?
A veteran or reservist who is wrongfully denied his or her job may be granted
reinstatement with back pay and benefits plus attorney's fees and costs. Damages
of back pay and benefits can be doubled, if the violation was willful.
What happens if an elected mayor or councilmember is called to active duty?
Obviously, if an elected official is a member of a legislative body, he or she will be required to miss a number of meetings while on active duty. The legislative body is required to grant an extended leave of absence for the elected official. RCW 73.16.041. Accordingly, the elected official does not forfeit his or her office as might otherwise occur if there are unexcused absences. The leave of absence that is granted, however, may not exceed the length of the elected official's remaining term of office. In addition, the legislative body may appoint a person to serve as the councilmember or mayor during the official's absence.
The following links, from which much of the information set out above is taken,
provide additional information on military leave and military reemployment rights.
Interested persons are encouraged to discuss their questions regarding military
leave with their city or town attorneys or with their county prosecuting attorney.

Childs, a fourth-round pick out of Arkansas, fell to the turf untouched while diving for a pass. The team had hoped he would take over the split end job while Jerome Simpson serves his three-game suspension at the start of the season.
The Vikings' statement regarding Childs' condition said, "Greg Childs suffered a torn patellar tendon on his right and left knees last night. He is expected to have them surgically repaired within the next few days."
Following surgery, he faces a long rehabilitation period that could affect his ability to contribute in 2013 as well.
Childs previously had dealt with a patellar tendon tear, during his junior season at Arkansas in 2010. He also suffered a calf strain during the Vikings' rookie minicamp in May.

One of the most famous nightclubs in the world, Le Lido in Paris, selected Medialon Manager for show control when renovating the revue show for its 26th season. This year's spectacular Bonheur runs twice a day and is the story of a young "bird-lady" looking for happiness. The show has four scenes and uses twenty-three sets, including an airplane, an ice skating rink, a fountain, a swimming pool, and an Indian temple. Four Manager show controllers are used to partition, control, and synchronize all show elements (including audio, video, lighting, and effects) while supporting live interaction with onstage talent.
The audio department has its own Manager license, which starts and monitors the time code generator, to which all four licenses are synchronized. The audio controller monitors the audio playback sources and the time code, with contingency plans and backup equipment for a variety of progressive signal dropouts. This layering of contingencies greatly reduces the chance of a show mishap, and is essential in an international show of this caliber. Two MX2424 HD recorders, a Yamaha console, and a Peavey MediaMatrix house processor are controlled in this way.
The lighting and video department also has a dedicated Manager license, which fires cues to a WholeHog® III lighting console and the video players. "A primary advantage of using a show controller to control the lighting desk is the ability to bypass some cues live or to offset some part of the show, especially when talent behaves differently than expected," says Medialon's Alex Carru. "These 'wild' adjustments are written as short, self-contained cues, and are fired from a Medialon Remote Desk, which provides much faster selection and actuation than keyboard or mouse." The lighting Manager also acts as a backup for the lighting console, every console cue is contained as a DMX file in the show controller.
A third Medialon Manager is used to control the water show and some rigging elements, which have various backups. "Water effects are notoriously hard to program, and in this case, the water Manager was programmed using Medialon's 'TimeX' function," explains Carru. "Using TimeX, a series of untimed (but technically complete) cues are tapped into rhythm with the audio tracks. The tapped cues are then micro-timed using the other features of Manager, to provide a sinuous and metrical water show without a lot of coding."
A fourth license of Manager acts as a supervisory and reporting system, monitoring the departmental licenses and extracting variables from each for display on backstage monitors. For example, heads up displays at stage wings indicate the cue currently in progress plus a countdown to the next cue. "This makes life a lot easier when, at the Lido, up to four productions may be mounted simultaneously. And, of course, every controller is loaded with all three craft programs in case of a switchover," Carru continues.
All equipment is controlled via TCP/IP, except for time code, which is piped directly to an Adrienne RG1 time code card in each Manager computer. The total roster of equipment under control: 12 DMX universes, 20 MIDI channels, 13 RS-232 serial ports (over IP), 2 Tascam MX 2424's,an Evertz time code generator, a MiniDisc Player, aMedia Matrix DSP assembly, aYamaha Audio console, a Video Player, a Doremi hard disk recorder, a Wholehog III, a Videoprojector, a Video scaler and selector, a DVD Player and 36 I/O contacts for the water show and scenes.

BOSTON (AP) - Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Edward Markey is offering cautious support for President Barack Obama's decision to begin arming rebels in Syria.
Markey, who opposes committing U.S. troops to the conflict, said Monday that he supports aiding rebels as long as the CIA can guarantee the arms are going to "pro-democracy insurgent groups."
Republican rival Gabriel Gomez said he's glad Obama has decided to take the step of arming rebels, but said the U.S. should be doing more, including establishing a no-fly zone to protect insurgents fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Markey said he's hesitant about enforcing a no-fly zone.
Obama authorized lethal aid to the rebels for the first time on Friday, after Washington said it had conclusive evidence that the Syrian regime had used chemical weapons.
Syria accused Obama of lying about the evidence.

Carriage Towne News
---- — HUDSON —Each season the Cyclones Hockey Club recruits talented junior hockey players from across the country, Canada and Europe. These players show great potential to play at the college level, and beyond but do not live within a reasonable driving distance of the arena. To take advantage of this great opportunity, the players need families willing to share their homes, and become a "home away from home" for them.
These boys, ages ranging from 16-20, have been able to complete their high school educations, take classes in local colleges, or hold part time jobs while pursuing their hockey opportunities and dreams. In most cases, very strong bonds are made between the player and his billet family as well as with the player's family. Players have proven to be great role models for younger children in the billet family, as they demonstrate hard work and determination to achieve tough goals. The player needs a bed, bureau, closet space and a desk or table and chair. Families receive a monthly billeting stipend for each player. Some have found it easier to house two players as they then travel together and are company for each other. Host families have included traditional two-parent families, single-parent families and "empty-nesters" too. All that's really needed is a willingness to help a player pursue his dream by providing a good home. The players arrive mid-August, go home for a few weeks over the holidays and leave at the end of March when the hockey season ends.
If you are interested in the possibility of being a host, please call Monica Dufresne at 603-880-4424. Your willingness to share your home and family is all it takes, and you will truly make a difference in a player's life.

Tony Dorsett and Emmitt Smith had to cringe, when watching the 2012 Cowboys. The Cowboys rushed for less than 80 yards per game. It was the worst franchise total since 1960.
"We have to run the ball better," said Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett. "It's amazing that when you run the ball well the opportunities to throw the ball well present themselves and the opportunity to play better defense presents themselves and you're better in the red zone and take care of the ball better. We understand that and made a huge emphasis on it in the off season and will continue to make that emphasis in training camp."
The Cowboys should get a boost by a healthy Demarco Murray. The starting running back says the offense must stay committed to running the football.
"Ugly money is good money," said Murray. "Two yards is good, three yards is good. You may get four or five carries in a row and then pop for 10 or 12. As a running back you love to have the ball and run it but we'll see how the games go."
The running game could take time to gel, thanks to multiple injuries on the offensive line.
"I feel we'll be fine," said running back Phillip Tanner. "It's all about paying attention to detail. No matter who's in front of us, our reads stay the same. We can't use it as an excuse there's an injury. It's the NFL, next man up."

Extreme Sports Closeup — Nik Wallenda
Nik Wallenda, who walked across Niagara Falls in 2012, recently became the first person to walk across the Little Colorado River Gorge on the Navajo Nation near the Grand Canyon on a tight rope. Wallenda, who began tight-rope walking when he was 2 years old and trains five to six hours each day, traversed a 2-inch cable that was 1,400 feet across and 1,500 feet above the twisting Little Colorado River on June 23. The historic walk, which took 22 minutes, 54 seconds, and was done without a tether or safety net, was shown live on Discovery Channel and viewed in 217 countries. "I believe God has given me a gift and a talent that can be used to bring glory to His name," Wallenda told the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association last year. "I don't go up there unprepared or untrained and say it's up to God whether I make Read More

The sports world, and especially the South Beach faithful, held their collective breath momentarily Thursday night for Mr. Miami Heat. After taking a hard shot to the face on a drive (WHICH HE STILL FINISHED WITH A HIGHLIGHT DUNK DESPITE GETTING WHACKED!!!), LeBron James lay writhing in pain amidst a puddle of his own blood.
It was so bad that he left the game, heading for the locker room during the biggest game of the Heat's season so far — done for the night. Uh oh.
Or not.
Fans, King James wants you to exhale … and laugh a bit while doing it.

Playoff Picture
So I have done some research to see what has to happen for us to make the playoffs. We definitely don't have an easy route, but I think it is possible. Obviously, we need to win out. I think it comes down to the Green Bay game. I think we are better than STL, and will beat them. Houston seems unrealistic on the road, but they may rest their starters or lack motivation. We need to be cheering for the Texans tonight. If they win tonight they will be 12-1 with Denver being 10-3. The Texans beat Denver earlier this year, though. That means the Texans likely clinch the AFC's 1 seed next week. They would have to beat Indy at home, or have Denver lose at Baltimore. If either happen, they clinch homefield. They could rest their starters vs MN, or at least just play them a half with the conference wrapped up. It would definitely give us a good shot of knocking them off if they did that, so it would set up a HUGE game vs Green Bay at the end of the season.
Here is how I see the rest of the season playing out:
Chicago 10-6:
Arizona - W
Seattle 10-6 clinch WC spot:
San Francisco - L
Washington 8-8:
Cleveland - W
Philly - L
Dallas - L
Dallas 8-8:
Pitt - L
Wash - W
Chicago, Seattle, and MN will all be 10-6. Seattle is the top WC spot due to beating CHI and MN. So to choose the 2nd WC spot you proceed to step 2 of the tiebreaker: best win-loss-tie percentage against conference opponents. The Vikings would be 7-5 for a win percentage at 58%. Chicago would be 5-6 for a 54% winning percentage. The Vikings would get the final spot of the playoffs.
If we win next weekend, then this is how I see the rest of the season playing out. It will be a fun last few weeks of the season. Hopefully we can finish strong.

I agree that STL is going to be tough. Their offense is worse than ours, but their defense is much improved. It maybe a frustrating game to watch, but I think we pull it out. All three of the games worry me. However, if Houston wins tonight, and we can win Sunday, then I honestly expect to be 9-6 going into our game with the Packers. What better way than to end the season than against the Packers with a playoff spot on the line?

There s only two things stopping you - fear and common sense!! The Truth you CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!
I like the faith you have Arkansas, but I don't see it. Seattle will go 10-6 and get one WC. The next one will go to Washington. They will beat the Browns and Eagles on the road and come home to beat Dallas, giving them a 10-6. The Vikings might go 9-7, but I doubt it. That would entail a win at Houston or home against Green Bay and we're not as good as either. St. Louis will be tough, they aren't a bad team at home. However, a 9-7 record for the Vikings would be a successful season after last year's debacle and hopefully provide the impetus to the next level.

In the end though, I see the Vikings going 8-8 or 9-7 this season, which I agree would be considered successful after what we went through last year. In the end I think Seattle and Chicago get the Wild Card spots.Zeus wrote:
When are you going to realize that picking out the 20 bad throws this year and ignoring the 300 good ones does not make your point?
You know I forgot all about the Bears seeing as how bad they've played recently. Looks like they might go 10-6 and in good shape for the second WC. Not sure of the tie-break if Washington goes 10-6. Bottom line, I don't think the Vikings are in the mix having lost to Washington and Seattle.

If the Vikings win out we hold the tie breaker on the Bears, assuming they lose to the Packers.
I am not saying this stuff will happen, but was just pointing out a way we could make the playoffs. At the time of my post, it was being reported that RG3 could be out up to 4 weeks. Now, it sounds like he may only miss the Cleveland game. I still think that the Cowboys end up beating them. I don't think it is unreasonable to think we may be 9-6 going into the Green Bay game. Houston is a great team, but they really haven't beat many good teams.

This is what it will take for us to Win the division
MOst likely scenario
Green Bay clinches the division if they win in Chicago on Sunday, so they MUST LOSE to the bears:
GB: 9-5(Still 1st place due to divisional record)
We of course need to win @ ST. Louis. St. Louis have only won 2 games outside of their division, vs. Redskins and @ BUffalo. They're just not a good team. Our defense should handle them, and AP should go off for 170+ We're 8-6
Week 16:
Bears win @ Cardinals (10-5)
Packers win vs Titans (10-5)
We win @ Texans (9-6)(Better chance of this happening than the bears or Packers losing this week)
Week 17:
Bears lose @ Detroit (10-6) (Divisional game, anything's possible
Packers lose @ MIN (10-6)
Vikings win vs. GB (10-6)
Tiebreaking procedures are:
Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Head-to-head vs. all 3 opponents:
Bears: 2-2
Packers: 2-2
VIkings: 2-2
Head to step 2:
Divisional record:
Vikings: 4-2
Packers: 4-2
Bears: 3-3
Step 3: Common games:
Bears eliminated, Common games w/ packers are:
Lions: win
Lions: win
Bears: win

Klamath - Blue Green Algae Superfood - 130 Capsules Formerly Enzyme Enhanced
Klamath - Blue Green Algae Superfood is naturally rich in amino acids, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, chlorophyll and protein and may help increase energy, decrease fatigue, enhance brain function, oxygenate the blood, nourish the nervous system, improve memory and concentration, increase muscle mass, speed healing, protect against pollutants and radiation, purify the blood, prevent kidney stones, and improve over-all health.
AFA contains the broadset nutritional spectrum of any known algae, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, cholorophyll, essential fatty acids including Omega-3 , phytonutrients, active enzymes, rare trace elements and complex sugars. AFA is widel considered a Green Superfood.
Klamath Blue Green Algae is the most nutrient dense food on the planet, containing glyco-proteins, vitamins, minerals, simple carbohydrates, lipids and biologically active enzymes. Due to the algae's nutritious soft cell wall, these nutrients are readily available to the body. As the body uses only a small amount of energy to convert this superfood into fuel, consuming Klamath Blue Green Algae is a fast, efficient and energizing way to improve any diet. The discovery of the incredible food value concentrated in AFA,Aphanizomenon Flos Aquae, an ancient blue-green microalgae, has popularized this nutrient dense whole food that contains more protein, B12 and chlorophyll than any other food source. Klamath Blue Green Algae has such a complete nutritional profile, available in forms that are directly accessible and easily superior to any other algae on the market and has become the focus of much attention in the health food industry.
Algae capitalize on the direct energy of the sun more than any other food. Primitive as they may appear, most are highly efficient photosynthesizers. Algae utilize light energy from the sun (greater than 10% conversion efficiency), carbon dioxide from the air, and hydrogen from the water to synthesize its bio-chemicals. Klamath Blue Green Algae is unique among all food grade algaes in that it also metabolizes molecular nitrogen directly from the air to produce proteins and other nitrogen containing bio-molecules.
Among the several families of algae, Klamath Blue Green Algae is in the class: cyano-bacteria. Like a string of pearls, their cells have a gelatinous cell wall surrounding the chloroplast and a protoplast DNA container. Algae are a class by themselves, exhibiting the characteristics of both plant and animal.
Klamath Blue Green Algae is a wild, fresh water algae growing in natural abundance in Upper Klamath Lake. The precipitation that falls on the Southern Oregon Cascade Mountains washes tons of mineral-rich volcanic soil into the alkaline lake annually. This mineral-rich water, clean air, and high intensity sunlight make the unique ecosystem of Upper Klamath Lake the most perfect growth medium for A.F.A.
KBGA, unlike cultivated algae, is a naturally occurring perennial. Its survival depends on the heartiest strain reproducing itself, and its uncanny ability to communicate environmental and other conditions to each strand in the bloom. During summer months, the algae reproduces itself every four days, creating a massive bloom of up to 200 million pounds annually. Klamath Blue Green Algae is harvested fresh from the lake on a daily basis, screened to remove debris and excess water, fresh micro-filtered to be free of potential contaminants, then flash frozen and stored at -40º F until processing.
Klamath Blue Green Algae is thoroughly laboratory tested, freeze-dried, never heat processed, and retains most of its biologically active vital nutrients in a naturally balanced profile.
Start with 2 Veg Caps (1 gram) daily. Build to desired amount. Take early in the day on an empty stomach. Store in a cool, dry place.

Another example is "+" used to add either integers or floating-point numbers. Overloading is also known as ad-hoc polymorphism.
User-defined operator overloading is provided by several modern programming languages, e.g. C++'s class system and the functional programming language Haskell's type classes.
Ad-hoc polymorphism (better described as overloading) is the ability to use the same syntax for objects of different types, e.g. "+" for addition of reals and integers or "-" for unary negation or diadic subtraction. Parametric polymorphism allows the same object code for a function to handle arguments of many types but overloading only reuses syntax and requires different code to handle different types.

To be able to save money with coupons, you first need to find them. Below I have listed free or very inexpensive sources to gather coupons from.
Sunday Paper: This is the largest source of coupons. The biggest newspaper in the area will have the best and largest selection of coupons. The typical inserts are SmartSource, Red Plum and Proctor & Gamble. You can get a fairly inexpensive subscription to the paper. Discount Newspaper has some great deals on subscriptions. You can also ask friends and family for their coupons if they are not using them.
You can also purchase coupons from clipping services. Insert Insanity sells whole coupon inserts. They have great bundle packages and are a great way to get you going. You can also get individual coupons at Wiz Clipz. They sell packs of 10 coupons for $1.50 shipped. This is a great option if you do not live near a big city and can not get all the coupons.
All You Magazine: This magazine is filled with coupons. You can typically find 30 to 40 in every issue. Just use a couple of the coupons a month and it more then pays for itself.
Online coupons: There are a ton of coupons that you can print online. The largest sites are Coupons.com, smartsource.com and redplum.com. Just check with your store to make sure they accept them because not all stores do. Manufacturer's websites are also a great place to find coupons.
E Coupons: These are digital coupons that you just load onto your store savings card. Simple sign up for free to the site, register your store card and load your coupons. Then when you scan your card at check out the coupon will automatically be used towards qualifying purchases. You can use this in addition to clipped or printed coupons.Here is a list of sites that I use. Just check to see if your store is listed.
In Store: There are coupons located all over the store. There are several places to look. You can find "Blinkies" hanging on the shelves in the supermarket aisles that dispense coupons. Often time there are tear pads located near items that have coupons that you can grab. Also look out for "peelies" which are stuck on the product and can be peeled off for instant savings.
Catalina Coupons: These are the coupons that will print out at the register. The name comes from Catalina Marketing, which is the company that provides this type of behavior marketing. Catalina marketing promotions are triggered based on a customers purchase behavior and delivered at the point of sale. Sometimes these coupons will be for money off a certain product or they are for money off your next purchase. By getting a heads up on any of these promotions you can really get some great deals. For example, Walgreens had Gillette Fusion razors for $8.99. After purchase you received $6 in Register Rewards. That made the razor $2.99. However you could sweeten the deal by adding a $4 off coupon. Now you would pay $4.99 out of pocket and receive $6 back. So you now made $1.01 on this deal.
Walgreens and CVS usually will have the promotions printed in their weekly ads. Walgreens calls them Register Rewards (RR) and CVS uses the term Extra Care Bucks (ECB). Also keep an eye out for signs in the store or a Catalina coupon advertising an upcoming promotion.
Happy Savings!

The co-main event of today's (Sat., Jan. 4, 2014) UFC Fight Night 34: "Saffiedine vs. Lim" event in Singapore featured the Octagon debut of veteran "Crusher", Tatsuya Kawajiri, who took on unheralded -- but undefeated -- Blackzilian Sean Soriano in featherweight action.
The bout was a barnburner from the start.
Soriano came out fast and met Kawajiri in the center of the cage, eager to show he wouldn't back down to such a tough challenge. He did well, too, scoring on punches while defending multiple takedown attempts. The problem is Kawajiri was relentless and eventually found a takedown and superior position, riding Soriano's back while looking for a submission. It never came but plenty of damage was done along the way, leading to a big first round.
It took far less time for Kawajiri to get the takedown in the second round. And this time he got Soriano's back and locked in a rear-naked choke.
It appeared Soriano tapped but the referee either didn't see it or ignored it. That meant a quick nap inside the cage. Either way, a loss is a loss, tap or nap.
Welcome to the UFC!

Made of soft cozy fleece, they are a kid's camping essential.
Learn how to make this easy pillowcase dress. It looks adorable with any fabrics.
That was the inspiration for this banner project. I used 2 different sweaters that were accidently shrunk (thanks honey!) and some vintage book and ledger pages, as well as small scrap pieces of fabric that weren't big enough for other projects. I had already used most of the argyle sweater for a pillow, so I had to be pretty creative to figure out a way to use the skinny strips that were left.
1. For the letter "S": Use the Rotary Trimmer and Cutting Mat to trim a 5.5 inch x 5.5 inch square from a sweater sleeve with ribbing. Then handcut the letter "s" using the Pinking Shears. Handstitch the "s" to the square. Then use the Apron Lace Border Punch on a strip of kraft cardstock about 1.5 inch. Then prepoke holes to spell "happy" and handstitch with black embroidery floss. Use wet adhesive to adhere stitched strip to background.
2. For the letter "P": Trim a piece of chipboard 5.5 inch x 5.5 inch using Fiskars Craft Knife and metal edge ruler on Cutting Mat. Paint a 5.5 inchx5.5 inch piece of vintage ledger paper (I usually paint a whole page and then trim it down to the size I need, then I have scraps to use for other projects) Set aside to dry. Handcut letter "P" and scrap of cotton fabric for center of "P". When paint is dry, adhere painted ledger piece to chipboard, and adhere "P" and center fabric to painted paper. Take long torn strip of cotton fabric and tie a knot around the piece.
3. For the letter "r": Use Rotary Trimmer and Cutting Mat to trim a 5.5 inch x 5.5 inch piece of fuschia sweater. Then handtrim an "r" from sweater (same sweater as background for "S"). Handstitch "r" to background with black embroidery floss. Use Butterfly Squeeze Punch on painted ledger paper and adhere to the background.
4. For letter "i": Trim a piece of chipboard to 3.5 inch x 5.5 inch using Craft Knife, then trim a piece of vintage book page the same size. Adhere to chipboard. Then handcut the bottom of the letter "I" from scrap Cosmo Cricket pattern paper and ink edges. Use Large Seal of Approval Squeeze Punch for dot of "I") Ink edges and adhere "I" to background.
5. For the letter "n": Trim a scrap piece of an old quilt to 5.5 inch x 5.5 inch Then use Pinking Shears to trim 3 sides leaving the top side a straight edge. Handcut the letter "n" from fuschia. Handstitch letter "n" to background using black embroidery floss.
6. For the letter "g": Trim 3 – 2 inch x 5.5 inch strips of cream and argyle sweater and stitch long side together to create one 5.5 inch x 5.5 inch inch background piece. Handcut letter "g" from scrap cotton fabric and handstitch to background using pink embroidery floss. Stitch vintage tassel trim to bottom of background to "finish"the bottom edge.
7. To put the banner together, simply stitch each letter to a 40 inch long piece of pink ribbon leaving about 1.5 inch between each letter.
Scrap of kraft cardstock (letter "S")
2 old sweaters (letters "S" and "g")
Black Embroidery Floss (letters "S", "r" and "N")
Pink Embroidery Floss (letter "g")
2 small pieces of scrap fabric (3 inch x3 inch for letters "S" (Cosmo Cricket) and "g")
2 scraps of wool felt (3 inch x 3 nch) in different colors, black & fuscia
Long torn scrap of cotton fabric (less than an inch wide x 12 inches long-for letter "P")
2 inch x2 inch scrap of fabric (for center of letter "P")
Cosmo Cricket Pattern Paper (letter "i")
Scrap of vintage yellow and cream tassel trim
40 inches of pink ribbon

Can This Marriage Be Saved? His Awful Job Is Ruining Our Marriage
June 23, 2011 at 2:37 pm , by Jennifer Castoro
We've all had our share of stressful days at the office, after which we've gone home to greet our hubbies with little more than a peck and a grunt. But for Jon, a 38-year-old chief financial officer at a small engineering firm, every day is sheer torture. And his wife, Lara, a stay-at-home mom to their 1-year old son, can't deal with his stress any longer.
Lara's turn Jon is completely shut-down, anxious and jumpy, and ignores her and their son. She wants to help ease his stress and empathize, but every time she asks a question about his day he snaps at her. He'd been out of work before he took this new job, so she understands he's reluctant to leave it, but his boss is a raving tyrant. She did anticipate that Jon would work hard, but he's doing more than that, keeping his phone on at all hours and skipping weekend activites. They haven't been married very long and Jon didn't work for much of the marriage, so she knows they'll be able to survive if he gets out of this horrible situation. So why won't he help himself?
Jon's turn He's so tense from the situation at work that he has no energy left for his wife or his son. He'd heard his new boss was difficult, but he had no idea it would be this bad. The man bullies everyone, berates his employees and calls Jon at 2 in the morning. He was happy at his former job but when the company moved to a new state and Jon didn't go along, he thought he could find something else he liked just as much. Now, he feels stuck and he's not sure why – maybe because he was recently unemployed or because his own father unhappily stayed at the same company his whole career to provide for the family. Jon plans to stick it out and learn to deal with his ogre of a boss, but he's resigned to a life of misery that his wife can't accept. Read more

Can This Marriage Be Saved? He Can't Find a Job
November 11, 2010 at 4:49 pm , by Jennifer Castoro
It's a funny thing, marriage: The more that couples' problems change, the more they stay exactly the same. The story in this week's Can This Marriage Be Saved? vote-a-thon comes from August 2005, but it's even more relevant now than it was five years ago. The issue? It's an unspeakable word that starts with an "un" and ends in "employment" and generally wreaks havoc on even the most stable of partnerships. You may have heard it tossed around a bit lately, provided you haven't been living in a cave since 2008. The stresses of a job loss are hell on the spouse that's out of luck, to be sure, but just as awful on the member of the couple that's still working. And our model couple is no different.
Howard, a 44-year-old business owner, and Marcy, a 42-year-old marketing director, have two kids and 20-plus years between them. They both come from mildly dysfunctional families – Marcy being the product of a divorce and an alcoholic dad, and Howard the son of a successful businessman who was too busy working to pay him any attention – and their childhood issues are coming to a head following his unemployment.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
MEMPHIS, TN - (WMC-TV) – The images from Chopper 5 chronicled the aftermath of a catastrophe last March at the Valero refinery in South Memphis as emergency responders tended to badly burned survivors of a fire that left another worker dead.
Six months later, the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited the company for 16 alleged violations.
The reasons are detailed in a report obtained by Action News 5.
Each violation is considered "serious." One of them is for failing to provide "protective equipment, including protective clothing" wherever it was necessary.
Proposed penalties total $63,000.
The report found the injured or killed workers were unnecessarily exposed to flammable vapors that ignited while they installed a flange on a 36 inch outlet pipe.
"They're supposed to be well-covered with safety hazards and things," said neighbor Shonta Andrews.
She regularly passes Valero on her way to Martin Luther King, Jr. Park and figured refinery work was dangerous.
"I guess working with all those chemicals and things like that," said Andrews.
She believes the company should be held accountable if proper procedures were not in place to protect workers.
"So there won't be any more fatal accidents like that," said Andrews.
A hearing on this matter is forthcoming. Valero can appeal the state's findings. The company had no comment because of a previously filed lawsuit.

EducationFife Schools
Cowdenbeath, UK
Abbey Holford Rowe Architects
Kawneer Dealer:
Charles Henshaw & Sons Ltd.
The Pinnacle Schools consortium, consisting of main contractor, Sir Robert McAlpine, facilities manager, Sodexho, and Newcourt Capital, were responsible for designing, building, financing and operating three new schools in Fife, as part of a £160 million public/private partnership (PPP) with Fife Council. Abbey Holford Rowe of Glasgow designed the three new schools, two secondary and one primary, which replace existing schools in Dunfermline, Cowdenbeath and Anstruther.
More than 800 AA®601 Top Hung casement windows and 400 AA®603 Tilturn windows from the AA®600 Series Window & Door System will be installed across the three schools, together with varying amounts of Kawneer's Series 1202 Zone Drained Curtain Walling. The AA®600 Series Window & Door System has been developed to provide the thermal efficiency required by Document J (Scotland) and Document L (England & Wales) of the recently amended Building Regulations.
The three new schools, Queen Anne at Dunfermline, Beath High at Cowdenbeath and Anstruther Primary, will provide accommodation, including sports halls and all weather pitches, for 3,000 secondary and 350 primary school pupils. Disruption to the children's school activities will be kept to a minimum as the new facilities are being built on land adjacent to the existing schools.
Products Used:
- AA®601 Casement Window
- 1202 Curtain Wall
- AA®603 Tilturn Windows
