This is sixth in a multi-part preview series covering the position groups as Florida State starts the 2010 season. Of the 66 major conference teams, FSU was only better than Louisville, Kansas, Indiana, Duke, Stanford, Kansas State, Iowa State, Illinois, and of course, Washington State. The last ACC defenses to be this bad in league play were some of the mid-decade Duke teams. If you want more comparisons and perspective, check out Closing The Book On The 2009 FSU Defense. Today I'll look at the defensive line.

Defensive Ends
|Defensive Ends Coach Darin D.J. Eliot
Don't take this analysis as a slam of the former staff or players, but to understand a fix for something, we must first realize it was broken and understand why it was broken. And to be clear, there were many causes for the poor defensive play. One of the main causes, however, was the play of the defensive ends under the direction of former defensive ends coach Jody Allen. I've covered this at length, but suffice to say that Allen was inexperienced and under qualified to coach defensive ends at the major college level. That he's now working at West Georgia should tell you something. Additionally, there were behind the scenes issues that made players not like him, or at the least struggle to trust him.
Enter coach Darin D.J. Eliot (at right). He's 33 and as we profiled in this story, came to FSU via Rice University. He came recommended by Texas DC (and former Saban DC) Will Muschamp and FSU DC Mark Stoops. He crushed his interview and was hired on the spot.
Additionally, Eliot has produced at least one All-Conference defender at every school where he has worked. Notably at his last stop:
At Rice, Eliot had oversight of the recruiting process; a challenge given the schools' stringent academic standards. He identified and developed two true freshmen defensive ends - Scott Solomon (63 tackles) and Cheta Ozougwu (61) - who led all CUSA linemen with 124 combined tackles in 2009. They teamed for 21 tackles for loss and 11 sacks.
As I profiled in the linked article, it is incredibly tough to get quality players to Rice. I normally would not call a relatively young coach like Eliot an upgrade, but Eliot brings much more experience coaching defense than Allen had in his entire career prior to arriving in Tallahassee.
In a recent interview, Eliot gave some of his philosophies. You can tell he is pumped to be coaching the elite athletes that roam the practice fields in Tallahassee.
Chief amongst those philosophies is to get bigger at the position. As I profiled in the 2009 off-season (Size Matters on Defense (Don't go small to beat the spread): Part 1 | Part 2), FSU's front-7 (DE/ DT/ LB) was woefully small. This directive to the defense came directly from Coach Fisher as he saw this problem and sought to address it via recruiting and strength training.
With the help of finally having a quality strength and conditioning program, FSU is accomplishing this goal. For the first time in quite a while, FSU projects to have a front-7 of more than 1800 combined lbs. That is not elite size, but no longer is FSU's size up front a liability. In the coming years, it might even be an advantage.
That increased size will go great with the increased emphasis on leverage. Leverage in this context means engaging a blocker, controlling him, and then shedding him. It is in direct contrast to what FSU's defensive ends did under Allen, which was to try to get around the blocker. Their acts actually made them incredibly easy to block as they frequently ran themselves out of the play. Playing with leverage requires a plan and requires good technique, with angles, footwork, and handwork. It is difficult to play with leverage when the only thing a player is ever taught is a speed rush. Maintaining gap and lane discipline will be a huge step in the right direction from Florida State's defensive ends. Nole fans haven't seen that in a long time. The defensive ends have experienced a huge culture shock of being coached by a qualified coach for the first time in their FSU careers.
Inside, we'll look at both the ends and the tackles.
Part of FSU's problem was that the ends focused so much on speed speed speed that they abandoned all technique and leverage principles. And this bled into other areas. While the run defense was abysmal, the pass defense was terrible as well. FSU registered a sack on only 3.96% of pass plays it faced in conference! The 'Noles were the only team that didn't sack the quarterback at least once out of every 25 dropbacks. That was a historically bad performance. The 'Noles ends were predictable and while it was dumb to not use specific plays that would take advantage of FSU's defensive ends in 2008, it was downright reckless in 2009. And for the most part, teams did just that; taking advantage of the defensive ends with plays they knew would capitalize on their undisciplined, sloppy, ill-planned, poorly coached style. Because they were so focused on rushing the passer as if they had a 20 point lead, the defense didn't win the crucial battles on first and second down that set up the negative leverage offensive situation: an obvious passing down!
I have been unable to watch any Rice football, but given the size of Eliot's ends at Rice (large), their accomplishments, and the unlikelihood that they were amazing athletes, I am going to assume that they played their keys, focused on pad level, leverage, hand technique, footwork, gap/lane discipline, and didn't try to do things of which they were not asked to do, thus not opening up huge gaps through which an opposing offense could run. I expect him to have FSU's defensive ends do the same. The players have already said as much, acting shocked that they actually have an assignment on each play. And under no circumstances would I expect Fisher to tolerate playing a no-talent walk on for the sole purpose of spiting the other coaches from whom a coach feels alienated. Early reports from the defensive ends have them being much better than awful, which they were last year. So let's talk about those ends.
|Markus White
The Lone Senior
I really feel like Markus White (#98) was robbed of the opportunity to be great at Florida State by the lack of coaching provided to him in his first two seasons in Tallahassee. The JUCO transfer stands in at 6'4" 265 lbs. He was a 5* recruit coming out of Butler CC (JUCO). White works hard and is a leader on the team. He's a mature guy who was just dying to be coached. From all reports, he has taken well to the coaching. The starter at left end (typically the strong side), White worked hard in the off-season, despite battling a knee injury. While I don't think he will ever be a great pass rusher, he could be a good rusher now that he has had some coaching. If he has any shot to make the NFL, he must become a lot better against the run. As left end he'll have the opportunity to do just that. I've given up on some of the defenders because I don't think they have talent, but I have not yet given up on Markus White.
|Brandon Jenkins
The Up & Comer
#49 Brandon Jenkins is a prospect for whom I have a lot of hope. He was a 4* defensive end recruit and enrolled early. Jenkins played some last season in limited duty and looked like a freshman. That is so say he had some moments in which he clearly showed his athleticism and some moments in which he looked lost. The 6'2" 250 lb Jenkins has very long arms which make him play like a taller guy.
Jenkins has created a lot of buzz with his play in Spring and Fall camp. He is the undisputed starter at right end (weak side usually). It suits his frame better as he doesn't have to take on as many blockers and allows him to use his speed. Jenkins looks like a natural pass rusher and could be a Dwight Freeney type with his long arms and low center of gravity.
But before he can get out and rush the passer he will have to prove that he can play within the system and play the run. Jenkins put on good weight this off-season and now checks in at 250 lbs. 240 lbs for a defensive end is simply too small. That added bulk will help him against the offensive tackles who will likely outweigh him by 50-60 lbs. As with any young player, this sophomore will need to improve his recognition skills and achieve a greater understanding of the nuances of the defensive end position. Jenkins will be counted on to give 550-600 snaps this year.
The Unknown Legacy
FSU fans will likely remember Dan Footman who played 6 seasons in the NFL and was a very good pro before blowing his knees. Now meet his son. Dan Hicks was a very unheralded recruit out of Mississippi for a number of factors, including playing for a low-profile school and breaking his foot during his senior year. But the 6'4" Hicks is a very good athlete with the frame to add a ton of good weight. Did I mention he was a good athlete? How about winning the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 15.19? Hicks was very raw coming in and has a late birthday (2 current FSU 2011 commitments are older than him). Because he was physically and a bit emotionally immature, he redshirted last season. That's not a bad thing. Hicks was just young. At least he didn't waste a year of eligibility under coach Allen.
People who have seen Hicks workout rave about the progress he's made. Hicks is now up to 265 lbs. That's incredible work for him considering he also needed to lose bad weight and add good. Hicks is still a year away from breaking out, but he is the backup to Brandon Jenkins at right end and will be counted on to contribute 200-250 snaps this season.
The Import
Bjoern Werner is not your typical freshman. The 6'4" 276 lb freshman from Germany by way of Connecticut is 20 years old and married. Werner has been good in camp and won the #2 spot behind Markus White at left end. Werner hasn't played much organized football, but has been a quick learner and is quite physically impressive. His strength allows him to hold the edge against the offensive tackle and allow FSU to stop the run. Here was our evaluation from his recruitment:
First thing that jumps off the screen at you is his pursuit of the football. He understands pursuit angles and when he decides he is going to chase a play down he is usually successful. On contact with a ball carrier he is extremely violent. You can tell how raw he is by the way he uses his hands. His first step is not explosive but is quick, he possesses a good short\compact first step that a SDE needs. Is a very long, lean specimen-his body type reminds me of Grant Wistrom\Chris Long. Seems to be decisive, does not get stuck with his feet dead. Is a natural athlete that possesses good natural footwork. Tremendous motor that cannot be coached. He even played weakside linebacker for Salisbury. Werner has got amazing feet, from watching his tight end film. Has a violent punch that needs to be refined. Needs to work on keeping his elbows in closer to his body. He could also make an excellent offensive lineman.
Werner will be counted on to play 275-325 snaps this season behind Markus White and he has a very bright future. The coaches love this guy.
Unrealized Potential
If you're sensing that FSU has a lot of young, raw talent at the defensive end position, you're correct. Redshirt Sophomore Toshmon Stevens is no exception. The 6'5" 234 lb weak side end is incredibly skinny but is also a natural pass rusher. Stevens redshirted as a freshman and then played some last season while battling injury. The major issue for Stevens is that he is incredible scrawny. His lengthy frame is just begging for some added muscle. At his weight he is a liability against the run and is useless except on obvious passing downs.
He needs to work on all of the things I previously listed for Brandon Jenkins. But because he is about 15 lbs behind Jenkins, I see him as more of a situational player this fall. Stevens needs to improve his consistency and most of that should come with increased reps (experience) and added strength. As it stands right now, his game is all speed. He is still pretty raw and is only a situational pass rusher at this point. Stevens is not regarded as a bad apple and will be given every opportunity to give his meaningful contribution to the team.
Working His Way Back From An Injury (Still?)
Up next is Jamar Jackson. Jackson is a member of the abysmal 2007 recruiting class. Rivals had him as a four star weakside defensive end (6th best WDE in the country). Jackson tore his ACL in 2007 and missed the entire season. By all accounts, he has not regained the quickness that he had coming out of high school. Jackson graduated at the end of Summer, is not being counted on in any defensive capacity, and this will probably be his last season in Tallahassee.
*Keep in mind that both of the incoming defensive end recruits are expected to see action come this Fall.
One of the more embarrassing anecdotes to come out about the old staff is that the defensive ends and defensive tackles didn't communicate. That was symptomatic of the old staff as a whole, but it is inexcusable for the defensive ends and defensive tackles not to do something that complement each other. This information helped to explain the few outrageous incidents last year in which the defensive linemen actually ran into each other. That is no more and FSU has rejoined the other 119 teams that have the defensive linemen working in tandem.
Defensive Tackles
|Defensive Tackle Coach Odell Haggins
The DTs are coached by Odell Haggins. A lot of people didn't expect Coach Jimbo Fisher to retain Haggins, but he did. I think that says something about the former 'Nole great. Someone I trust told me that Haggins is a very good cook, but between 2005-2008, he wasn't the best grocery shopper. I think that's a good analysis. His recruiting in 2005-2007 absolutely left something to be desired. And he has also suffered a good bit of bad luck at the position with guys like Letroy Guion leaving early to be a late-round draft choice, Callahan Bright failing to qualify and then getting arrested before he could make it out of junior college, Justin Mincey's academic safari, Paul Griffin's torn ACL (never recovered), Emmanuel Dunbar's broken back, Budd Thacker's high drama/ low production career, the signing day switcharoo by Marvin Austin, and Moses McCray's elbow problem.
But things look to be getting significantly better. Under a new staff with clear direction and renewed energy, I'm told Odell is the fun, vivacious Odell Haggins again. And that is really good news for the 'Noles. The recruiting has really stepped up. FSU has qualified all 4 of its last 5 defensive tackle commitments. And those guys are not scrubs. Among them are a 5*, a 4*, and 2 3*'s (including a JUCO). In 2008 FSU signed and placed Anthony "Amp" McCloud of Thomas Co. Central HS (Thomasville, GA). Many believed he was a better player than current Clemson NG Brandon Thompson (4*). Of course, McCloud had no chance to qualify and was not reviewed by the recruiting services. But he went to JUCO and is now back. The chance that a defensive line JUCO sign-and-place recruit ever makes it to his original college of choice is very poor, and it is an encouraging sign that FSU identified the talented prospect, found a home for him, laid out a plan to get him back, and got the kid back. More on him later. FSU already has two elite defensive tackle commitments for the upcoming recruiting class, and while they might not have come from Haggins' geographically designated recruiting area, there is no doubt that the interaction between potential future position coach and recruit plays a big part in the decision. Haggins has a renewed spirit under the new staff that he hasn't had in years. Judging by the current recruits and the young talent at the position, he'll have a nice group in 2011 when the 'Noles defensive interior could be one of the best in the nation.
The Departed
FSU loses three players at the defensive tackle position in Budd Thacker, Justin Mincey, and Kendrick Stewart. Each had their moments in their FSU careers and each probably had their worst year as seniors for a variety of reasons into which I don't need to delve too deeply. All three struggled with injuries and all three were ill-fitting pieces to a rather disorganized defensive puzzle. While not completely downplaying their losses, I will say that if they were theoretically allowed to come back this season, they would be second teamers at best. None were considered starters. This year, FSU doesn't have a single Senior starter on the defensive interior. If FSU can get through 2010 it should have a dominant defensive interior in 2011.
Out For The Year
Moses McCray, a 6'2" 310 lb Junior from Tampa was being counted on to be a key reserve this year. He tore his ACL and will try to return in 2011. This makes FSU extremely young along the defensive line.
Young Stud At Nose Guard
|Jacobbi McDaniel
From the moment he stepped on the field at Madison County HS (FL), people knew Jacobbi McDaniel was a stud. He crushed the scouting camps before his senior year in high school, dominated as a senior, destroyed the all-star games, earned his 5* rating as the top defensive tackle in the country and played about as well as one could ask of a true freshman defensive tackle. He would have played even better if not for sustaining a knee sprain thanks to a cheap shot in the USF game.
The 6'0" 298 lb Sophomore will now be asked to take the next step. I went back and watched every snap McDaniel played last year. He was one of FSU's best defensive linemen. And that was in spite of some of the things the defense asked him to do, including a ridiculously excessive amount of stunting and twisting. Running McDaniel to the outside and bringing Craig Yarborough to the inside isn't an effective way to stop anything other than the 'Noles' chance of winning.
Defensive Tackle is probably the 2nd or 3rd toughest position to play as a freshman, behind quarterback and arguably offensive tackle. McDaniel needs to continue to get better at everything, but his low center of gravity and powerful base paired with his amazing quickness is something that few people on the planet possess. He arrived to FSU carrying a fairly large amount of bad weight and has been steadily trading the baby fat for muscle. Reports on McDaniel have been positive and I'm not aware of any lingering knee issues. McDaniel needs only to stay healthy, continue to get stronger, gain more experience, improve his recognition, and work on being more consistent with his technique to have a chance at an All-Conference selection. That might sound like a lot but it really boils down to "stay healthy and progress at a reasonable rate." McDaniel will be counted on to play 475-525 snaps this season at nose guard.
The New Guy At Nose
Welcome Anthony "Amp" McCloud to the picture. As discussed above, McCloud was one of the best players in Georgia in 2008 but had no chance of getting into college, so he went the JUCO route. If he had the grades he would have been a high 4* type recruit. Thankfully, he graduated with his AA in 3 semesters and enrolled in FSU this Spring. He showed up at around 315 lbs but is now down to 6'2" 305 lbs. While the kid is undeniably a talent, he has not played a down of football since November 2008. McCloud sat out the 2009 season to focus solely on his academics so that he could graduate early and enroll at FSU this January. It was expected that he would show up out of shape considering that he wasn't playing ball and didn't have a college-level weight facility available to him.
McCloud worked on getting in better shape as he becomes re-acclimated to working out in a college weight program. It should be noted that McCloud is a red-shirt Sophomore and not a Junior, by virtue of his academics-only year in 2009. We've seen some of his film from high school and it was undoubtedly impressive. McCloud had worked on everything from adjusting to major college life, to film study, to workouts, to technique, and probably to strapping up his pads. He is still a bit raw, but guys with his frame and athleticism do not grow on trees. 'Nole fans should be very pleased if McCloud can play 225-275 snaps this year. My guess is that he makes his transformative leap next off-season. As a final note, Amp had an unspecified blood pressure issue in 2008 that was monitored but did not cause him to miss any games. FSU fans hope that doesn't flare up.
The 3-Techniques
Now we turn to the guys at the 3-technique position (the quicker tackle aligning between the guard and tackle). Red-shirt sophomore Everette Dawkins checks in at 6'2" 284 lbs and red-shirt freshman Demonte McAllister stands in at 6'3" 280. Both were highly regarded 4* recruits and there had been a large amount of speculation about one or both players moving to defensive end. But under the amazing new strength & conditioning program, both players added 20 lbs this off-season and are now well positioned to contribute at defensive tackle. The improved size in the front seven is one of the most important things going into this season.
Dawkins played very well considering he was a red-shirt freshman last season. He has a nice first step, plays with good leverage most of the time, and you can tell he is well coached. Dawkins is the starter at the 3-technique spot and is a guy who could end up as a 3-year starter when all is said and done. Dawkins will be counted on for 475-525 snaps this year.
McAllister is a very polarizing player and his case is especially interesting considering that he has yet to play a snap for Florida State. A lot of people were concerned that Demonte hasn't put on much weight, if any, since he arrived on campus. He did get injured (leg) and then got down on himself. His medical issues are now cleared up and his 22-lb gain this off-season is tremendous. Demonte is a phenomenal athlete and has the frame to be an excellent 3-technique tackle in time. Demonte will be counted on for 225-275 snaps this year.
The Young Guys
Because Florida State is very young and thin at the position, FSU will need some form of contribution from true freshmen Darious Cummings and Cameron Erving.
Cummings is the more likely of the two to make a meaningful contribution. The 6'2" 288 lb freshmen from Titusville has seen time at both defensive tackle and nose. He has excellent quickness and at times plays with excellent leverage. Cummings is by far the more polished of the two freshmen.
Erving on the other hand is extremely raw. He hasn't played much football, but the 6'5" 298 lb freshman has surprised some people (probably because the prevailing thought was that he would have no choice but to redshirt). Erving should see some time during blowouts.
This defensive line looks great for 2011 and 2012. But for this season, it projects as average or perhaps slightly above average. Look how young this group is!
|Left End
|Markus White Rs-Sr. 6'4" 266
|Bjoern Werner Fr. 6'4" 273
|Right End
|Brandon Jenkins So. 6'3" 250
|Dan Hicks Rs-Fr. 6'4" 264
|Toshmon Stevens R-So 6'5" 233 (situational pass rusher)
|Everett Dawkins Rs-So. 6'2" 283
|Demonte McAllister Rs-Fr. 6'2" 280
|Darious Cummings Fr. 6'3" 288 or Cameron Erving Fr. 6'5" 298
|Nose Guard
|Jacobbi McDaniel So. 6'0" 298
|Anthony McCloud "Amp" Rs-So. 6'2 302
|Darious Cummings Fr. 6'3" 288 or Cameron Erving Fr. 6'5" 298
1 senior
3 red-shirt sophomores
2 sophomores
2 red-shirt freshmen
3 true freshmen
Expecting great or even very good things from this group this season is silly. These guys are in their first year of competent coaching at end and are not physically mature like they will be in 2011 and 2012. But it's not silly to think the defensive line will play much better than last year's abomination. And it's not silly to see this group lay the foundation for a dominant unit in 2011. It's not silly to think they will be more disciplined and play with better technique. With the lack of quality depth here, health will be key. Losing Moses McCray for the year already hurt. Another injury like that could mean the difference between another 6-6 record and potentially going 9-3. FSU must avoid injury if it is to have above average play here.
If I had to rank this group, I would say that there is an enormous difference between FSU and the defensive lines of Clemson, Miami, and North Carolina. Huge difference.

News: Jay-Z On "Blueprint 3" Release, "Kanye's In The Process Of Making A New Batch"
Wednesday, Feb 18, 2009 2:40PM
Hip-Hop mogul Jay-Z has spoken on the time-consuming process of crafting his highly-anticipated album The Blueprint 3 admitting the delays have become frustrating.
While rumors of its release swirl, the rap star claims Kanye West is still creating new music likely to be featured on the disc.
"I made a bunch of songs," Jay said in an interview. "We gonna get to the studio and get down to what's supposed to be on the album and when. Right now Kanye is in the process of making a new batch of music that's gonna be phenomenal and at the end of the day, when it's ready for the people, we'll serve it up...I don't [like this process] because if I don't have any time constraints, I'll mess around, I'll never get it done. I'll be the Axl Rose out here. It'll be 12 years later...I really like the [time constraints]. But whatever happens, it may turn out better, 'cause it'll be done when it's right." (MTV News)
As previously reported, Ye recently said the disc would drop this month.
"I'm constantly making music," Ye said in a teleconfernce last November. "We almost finished with Jay album. we almost finished before I even dropped my album. Jay album is coming in February." (SOHH)
Throughout the fall, Ye was reportedly chosen to produce a majority of the project.
Kanye will indeed be producing most, if not all, of the album. Remember back in the day when an artist would do a whole album with one producer for cohesiveness? Think classic Snoop or Jeru with Primo... and fast forward it to 2008. Jay will be leaking the finished version of "Jockin" as soon as he adds a new 3rd verse to the song. (The Press Play Show)
Jay's Blueprint 3 will follow-up 2007's platinum-selling American Gangster.
Jay-Z announced he was coming out of retirement for good in 2006. He made it official when Kingdom Come hit the shelves later that year. Less than a year later, Jay-Z returned with another post-retirement album, American Gangster (2007), this one inspired by the concurrent film of the same name. (All Music)

Libya says Gadhafi son to be tried at home
He won't be tried by International Criminal Court
ZINTAN, Libya (AP) -- The Libyan information minister says Moammar Gadhafi's son and one-time heir apparent will be tried at home and will not be handed over to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
Mahmoud Shammam says Libya's National Transitional Council will discuss its decision with the ICC's chief prosecutor when he visits Libya on Monday.
Seif al-Islam Gadhafi is wanted by the ICC on charges of crimes against humanity.
But Shammam told The Associated Press on Sunday that it would only be fair for Libyans to try Seif al-Islam at home where he "committed crimes against Libyan people."
Seif al-Islam was captured in the desert of southern Libya on Saturday.

A way to foster innovation: a Venture capital district. From Silicon Valley and Route 128 to Waterloo Region
AbstractAbstract: Knowledge and technological change or innovation are key drivers of economic growth in the knowledge-based economy (KBE). Although the US economy is traditionally cited as the model, there are other technology frontier examples, such as Canada, arising from strong linkages among firms, research communities, the financial community and government. While Europe adopted the Lisbon 2010 goals, Canada's goal is to become the 5th highest R&D intensive country in the world by 2010, up from its current position of 15th. This paper draws a comparison between the most important American districts - Route 128 and Silicon Valley - and the Waterloo Region of Ontario. Second, it focuses on the linkage between venture capital and Canadian universities and shows some successful cases of knowledge and technology transfer at the University of Waterloo. Taken together, these sections provide a snapshot of the nature and status of technology transfer at Canadian universities and how it compares with that in the US

In Fairfield, California, a 21-yaer-old man is accused of drowning his father's dog in a pond outside City Hall. Police say Bryan Cavanah held the female pitbull underwater until she died. When asked by police why he did it, Cavanah reportedly said he didn't know. He is charged with felony animal cruelty and probation violation stemming from a prior assault conviction.
On the East Coast, a Navy sailor is accused of stabbing to death a puppy he was dogsitting for friends. Joseph Justesen, 24, of Newport News, Va., was allegedly found passed out on the floor next to the dead Shepherd/Retriever mix named Zoe. Police say blood and a knife were found in the room. Justesen is charged with animal cruelty.
Lastly, and perhaps most horribly, an Atlanta area man is facing charges of aggravated animal cruelty for allegedly beheading two puppies. LIke in Justesen's case, Robert Davis was supposed to be watching the two puppies for a couple of days. When owner Tyler Tedesco came to pick up the pit bull pups, he saw that they had allegedly been decapitated and buried in Davis's yard. Tedesco called 911 and police arrived to find the dogs' bodies in the woods.

Cast Iron Baseboard for One-Pipe Steam (5 Posts)

Cast Iron Baseboard for One-Pipe SteamIs there such a thing? I've been shopping around, and the only cast iron baseboard I've found is the Burnham Base-Ray (and the Governale Gov-Board, which seems to be nothing more than a rebranded Base-Ray), which comes with 3/4" tappings and is not recommended for one-pipe steam systems.
I want to replace an 8 ft. double fin-tube unit that's way oversized for the room it's in and the supply pipe it's on (1" copper!) with something more appropriately sized, and I'd prefer something that doesn't cool down the minute the steam shuts off. The catch is that it's in front of a big bay window, and there is only 14" between the floor and window.
Any suggestions?1983(?) Peerless G-561-W-S

Is the rest of the system cast-iron?Then, unless you can find a "window radiator", Baseray is pretty much it.
You'll have to pipe the Baseray as 2-pipe, but you can piggyback 2-pipe Baseray onto a one-pipe system. See "Lost Art" for details."Reducing our country's energy consumption, one system at a time"

Window RadiatorYes, the rest of the radiation is cast iron except for a two-foot fin-tube unit in the downstairs bathroom. The rest is all 25-inch thin-tube cast iron, ranging from a couple of 3-column, 14-tube to a 6-column, 24-tube behemoth.
I don't think piping the baseboard as two-pipe will be feasible given where it is. It's in a room on the first floor that was added on 40-50 years ago and sits on a really scary-looking crawlspace. When they piped in the baseboard, they took the main vent out of the end of the main and stuck a 1" radiator valve in the tapping, then ran 1" copper through the wall and up to the baseboard on the other side. To pipe in a two-pipe baseboard I'd have to run a return line to the far side of the room and insulate it. I'm not crazy about doing all that crawling around in there, but the real problem is that I'm not sure I could get enough pitch on it by the time it gets back to the main return since I'd have to stay below the floor joists out in the crawlspace.
Maybe a window radiator is the ticket. The first picture that popped into my head when I read that is the one below, then I did a little googling and found some interesting stuff, like curved radiators for bay windows where the wall bows out with the window. I don't need anything that fancy but they had straight ones too--probably mostly hot water, but I'll check 'em out.1983(?) Peerless G-561-W-S

Might not have to go that faragain, check out Lost Art. Not sure what page, but it's in the chapter on one-pipe steam. They show fin-tube baseboard in the illustrations, but it will work with Baseray too."Reducing our country's energy consumption, one system at a time"

just don't trap itYou can use two connections with a one pipe system. Lost Art suggests one way. Another is to run an auxiliary insulated supply to far end. In that case slope the baseboard so that condensate drips back toward main supply like an ordinary one pipe radiator.

Well versed, good examples from profession. High level of intelect.
She's amazing. I don't know why people have so much negativity. She expects you to study, and know the material. Which is what students don't wana do. She does give extra credit because she wants everyone to do well.You wil rarely find a prof as nice as her. DEFINITELY TAKE HER !
The best professor
She is pretty crazy, says one thing this week and next week its a different story. If you want to pass never disagree with her on anything and be prepared to teach your self. If you put pretty pictures and colors in your work you will get an A.
I took her evening class fall semster. This was my easiest class to date. Her tests are mostly from the notes on the powerpoints - use a laptop to keep up. Need self motivation, its very teach yourself but the material is not hard AT ALL. Gives an extra credit paper +2 required, reviews before every test, and favors regualar attendance.
Worst professor i have ever taken. Unclear, unprofessional, lazy and useless. Does not grade on content or comprehension, but on pretty colors and pictures. If you want to learn something, dont take her on the graduate level.
Most individuals in the class was so use to getting A's that they wanted her to almost do the work. She was a little scatter brainish but made you think and that is what most did not want to do.
She is nice but a little scatter brained. Also, so goes through her slides WAY to quickly and when you ask her to slow down she won't. Her tests have some tricky questions but for the most part they are right off of her review. She's kind of annoying and she lets the kids act up so I always got distracted by the kids in the back. She wasn't great.
I had Prof. Kaur for Readings in the Behavioral Sciences. She is a very nice PERSON, but an awful TEACHER. We learned nothing in the class and basically taught the class ourselves w/ powerpoint. We had no idea what to do for our literature review. She actually gives extra credit for putting a colorful cover on your paper and pictures!
Evaluation Program is professional subject, needs management skills both of Labor and personnel and work ethics with result oriented approach to undrstand what we all will go through tomorrow in our jobs. We all will be evaluated. She makes it crisp, simple yet clear for understanding. Presentations are to the point. Examples are good
Well prepared, Real good examples from todays word.Understand professions and how psychology works as a tool in each profession. prepares her personal transpirancies, shows her dedication and honesty. Does not read from book like majority professors.She is a clear communicator and makes each lesson very simple.She is the best.
The first day started out rough. She was not exactly prepared, and had never been to Kean before.. After the first class it got better. If you are there the week before each test you will have no problems. She reviews the whole thing. Not bad. A
ok... where do i begin? She is the WORST professor I have ever encountered! I have taken at least 10 psych classes, and she is absolutely ridiculous. She allows plagerism, she thinks evolution means we evolved from monkeys, and her tests have nothing to do with what we covered in class... NOTHING! be prepared to teach yourself the course. HORRIBL

My on/off again boyfriend, of 5 years, and I never really did anything that was romantic. So I honestly was tickled pink when he msged me in WoW to meet him in Dalaran on Valentine's day.

My boyfriend, every so often, wakes me up in the middle of the night by kissing me or sticking his hands down my pants on a quest for a blowjob. I don't really mind this, but it is absolutely hilarious to discuss it with him the next day since he doesn't remember. He does it at least once every month and it's become a big talking point between his roommates and us. He's also very proud of the fact that he is fully capable of getting a blowjob out of me while he is asleep. 6 times now.

Primary Care of Southwest Georgia invited the community to see their updated facility.
"Georgia ranks below the nation in terms of life expectancy higher incidents from heart disease and cancer," said Dr. Louis W. Sullivan, National Health Museum Chair.
Dr. Sullivan was U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Director under the first president Bush and lived in Blakely as a child.
"All of this contributes to improving the community and supporting the effort for economic development here in Blakely and Early County."
Since opening in March of 2006 with 8 employees the facility now the has more than 26 employees in Blakely and Thomasville.
The unveiling of a state of the art health Kiosk sets the Blakely location apart, it's the first one of it's type unveiled.

I'm excited, i want to see what people say! So, pretend for now the blazers get the... 5th pick. Who do we take and why? Say we also get the 14th pick. Who do take and why?
My hopes:
Drummond falls to us, or we move up a pick or two to secure him (probably using our 14th pick)
We take Micheal Kid-Gilchrist with our 5th
and Somebody along the lines of Jeremy Lamb, Kendall Marshall or Meyers Leonard with the 14th. (I do not want a Zeller, sorry!)
What does everybody think?
What trades do we think are realistic?
Also, Who thinks it's realistic D.Will might come here to play with Lamarcus and Batum+our 5th?
Share please :)

Equivalent Fractions Musical Plates
Get children up and moving with this fun, kinesthetic fraction activity! Children are given a fraction and dance around to music, trying to find its equivalent. Written and visual representations of fractions are used to assess children's understanding!
post-it notes
paper plates
sharpie to write fractions
visual representations of fractions to glue on plate
Give each student a fraction written on a post-it note. Students remember their fraction and stick it on their shirt. Next, lay out the paper plates with fractions written (or pasted) on them. You should make a variety of equivalent fraction plates for each student and spread them far apart. Then, each student will have to really look to find a plate that is equivalent.
Start up the music and children dance and hunt for a fraction that is equivalent to their own. When they find a fraction that is equivalent, they stand on the paper plate. If they don't find an equivalent fraction before the music stops, they're out! For each round, students keep hunting for fractions. Once there are no more fractions that are equivalent to their own, they sit out. They found all of their fractions!
This activity can be played as a whole group or with small groups to assess the children's learning.

Pumpkin Pasties
Ever since Harry first took a bite out of a pumpkin pasty and gave another one to Ron on their way to Hogwarts for the first time, I've had a vision of how these would look and taste. With a flakey crust and a just sweet enough, spicy pumpkin filling, they'd be more like a little meal than a dessert. The books don't mention Harry and friends eating pasties every time they get on the train, but I like to think that a trip to to Hogwarts just wouldn't be complete without a pumpkin pasty or two.
Most vegan pumpkin pie fillings rely on tofu, but I want my soy-free people to be able to enjoy these, too, so this is recipe for pumpkin filling thickened with blended cashews. These are only a little sweet like I imagine they'd be in the wizard world. Not that witches and wizards seem to need to worry about their teeth as almost all the food at Hogwarts is some sort of dessert and Hermione is probably the only one of them who's seen a dentist.
*note the crocheted owl in the background
Pumpkin Pasties Recipe
This is the empanada dough from Veganomicon without the cornmeal and it's the easiest to work with, flakiest crust I've ever made.
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ tsp baking powder
½ cup non hydrogenated shortening
½ – ¾ cup cold water
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the shortening in small chunks and mix on low-med speed until the dough is crumbly and resembles pebbles. Add the vinegar to ½ a cup of the water and add slowly while the mixer is going or in batches if not using an electric mixer. The dough should form a ball. If it's still crumbly add a little more water until it holds together. Form dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour. Prepare the pumpkin filling while dough is chilling
Pumpkin filling
You'll probably have leftovers so go ahead and halve this if you want, or make a little pie with the leftovers.
1 cup raw cashews
Water to blend cashews
1 16 oz can pumpkin
2 Tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot
½ cup sugar
¾ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
Place cashews in a food processor, add ¼ cup water and mix on high speed until a paste has formed. Add more water 1 Tablespoon at a time if necessary. (You could also try soaking and draining the cashews before hand so not as much water will need to be added.)
Add pumpkin and cornstarch and blend again until smooth and no cashew chunks are visible. Add a little extra water if necessary. The key is to make sure the filling is thick enough so that it doesn't ooze out of the little pies. Add in the sugar and spices and blend to combine.
Preheat oven to 400 F
Roll out dough to a little less than ¼ inch thick and cut into 3 ½ to 4 inch circles using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. Take one round and stretch it out a bit and then place about 2 tsps of filling in the center. Fold circle over into a half moon shape and press down the edges with a fork to close. Make a little slit in the top and sprinkle with a little sugar if you want. Transfer to greased or parchment covered baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes until pasties are golden brown.Explore posts in the same categories: pasties

This is a delicious recipe! Thank you so much for sharing, it was so fun and wonderful to make! Just curious – why the vinegar in the dough? You can't taste it or anything, but I was just curious what function it serves. Thanks again!
August 14, 2009 at 4:21 am
Wow, Jennifer! Thanks for making the recipe!! The vinegar in the dough reacts with the baking soda and helps the dough puff up and little and become flakier.

These look delicious…I am not a vegan by any means, but these still look delicious.

Thanks! we'll be posting more! We were just very ambitious when Harry Potter season was upon us, and slowed down when the movie buzz died down, but we have a bunch more ideas that we're working on and we'll put stuff up eventually. Just put us on your google reader so you don't miss it when we do post.

I may be making these for an Oscar Dinner Party I'm attending. The host is going to cook something off the Wolfgang Puck's Oscar menu and I've been told I can bring food for the two of us. It's a shame Wolfgang Puck can't come up some better vegan options on his Governor's Ball menu. I do see Black Truffles and Root Vegetables and don't know what is included with it. I'm sure he is like many celebrity chefs who think vegans eat vegetable side dishes as a main course. Anyway I will be making something unique that will look fabulous. This may be the desserts I will bring. Of course I will bring extra for those who don't know how GOOD VEGAN FOOD can be. I will post pics on my website in about a week.

If you suffer from insomnia, you may be interested in learning about some alternative treatment options. Are over-the-counter (OTC) supplements like valerian root effective? What role does aromatherapy have in treating insomnia? Are any of the alternative treatments for insomnia proven to be effective?
To answer these questions, let's review an excerpt from UpToDate - a trusted electronic medical reference used by healthcare providers and patients alike. Then, read on for additional information about what all of this means for you.
"Alternative treatments, including herbal products (e.g., valerian), homeopathy, and aromatherapy have been suggested as treatments for insomnia.
"However, studies of valerian show that it is no more effective than a placebo (sugar pill) for treatment of insomnia. In addition, most herbal products have not been tested to be sure that they are safe and effective and do not interact with other medicines. Therefore, alternative treatments are not recommended."
Sometimes it is appealing to seek more natural remedies to treat our difficulties with sleeping. But unfortunately, many of these options may not be effective. Let's look at valerian root. There are more than 400 different herbal preparations that contain valerian, many of which are sold to aid sleep and reduce anxiety.
Scientific research, however, does not support its use to treat insomnia. Some studies have shown modest benefits, but overall the evidence is not strong enough to recommend use of valerian use to aid sleep.
Aromatherapy is another popular alternative to improve insomnia. The use of sleep-inducing scents such as lavender is often touted. Though it may sound appealing, aromatherapy as an insomnia treatment may not be as effective as other proven options, such as sleeping pills. Indeed, sleeping pills can be both an effective and safe treatment option.
In general, many alternative treatments for insomnia - including those advocated in homeopathic medicine - lack the scientific research and favorable results to support their use. (Homeopathy is a system for the treatment of disease by minute doses of natural substances that in a healthy person would produce symptoms of disease.) OTC herbal supplements do not face the same level of critical review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that would occur with prescription medications. Therefore, these supplements do not have to prove their effectiveness. They may not contain their stated active ingredients, and they may even contain harmful chemicals that are not screened.
For all of these reasons, if you are having difficulty sleeping, you should seek counsel from your doctor and investigate appropriate treatment options.

Our cuisine is inspired by the Northern Italian cuisine of our mother, Rosa, who still cooks the meals we love – polenta, gnocchi, and rich meaty ragus with basil from her garden. Homemade prosciutto, salami and sausages made by our parents each Easter; the wine our father fermented from grapes bought at the Queen Victoria Market; the plates of calamari fritti served up as a family dinnertime "treat".
Located at 101 Collins Street in the heart of Melbourne, The Italian was first established in 2005. Since then we have built a reputation as one of Melbourne's finest Italian restaurants.
Hidden in the heart of 101 Collins Street, the courtyard at The Italian is an elegant oasis, perfect for morning coffee, al fresco lunches, cocktails at sunset and dinner in the evening.
The courtyard is the perfect intimate space for your next private function. Surrounded by screens of Chinese night Jasmine and its own private green marble bar.
Our courtyard is also heated throughout autumn and winter.
