RH and Temperature Question
RE: RH and Temperature Question
(10-01-2008, 03:39 PM)rthompson Wrote:(09-30-2008, 08:01 AM)Chris Reynold Wrote: I drilled several test holes, inserted sleeves and returned to the first test hole about 15-20 minutes later. Inserted a RapidRH reader in the first test hole and got a temp. of 85 and a RH of 75. The other test holes were in this same general range. Later in the day I took readings and the temp was down around 70 and the RH was up around 80. Can anyone help me understand what is going on?
I was just in a meeting where Howard Kanare, Sr. Vice Principal Scientist with CTL Group, was speaking. The question in regards to temperature and RH were brought up. Howard's response to this was that in the many tests performed by his lab, they have concluded, by using a temperature gauge to measure the temperature of the concrete, that the heat from the drill very quickly dissipates. He concludes that the concrete is a very good heat sink.
In addition, one of their processes has been to take the sensors (aka: sleeves, barrels) out of the packaging, lay them on the concrete while they are drilling their holes and prepping them for the sensors. This gives the sensors time to acclimate to the environment of the concrete, rather than the temp of the trunk of the car or other environment from which the sensors have been brought from.
Our data here at Wagner shows that our Rapid RH meters read approximately 3% of the final reading within 20 minutes of inserting the sensors. However, you will always want to follow what ASTM F2170-02 specifics for your final report.

Topics: Insurance, Marketplace, Health Reform, States
Feb 25, 2011
These grants are designed to assist states in creating or enhancing their reviews of the premiums charged by health insurance companies.
Reuters: US Government Sends Health Care Funds To Worried States The federal government on Thursday announced funding to help U.S. states evaluate health insurance rates and run preventive medicine programs, just as many state officials worry they cannot afford to carry out reforms included in the massive health care law. Starting in August, states can apply for three-year grants worth $3 million to create or enhance their reviews of the premiums health insurance companies charge, said Steve Larsen, director of the Health and Human Services Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (Lambert, 2/24).
The Hill: HHS Offers New Grants For Insurance Rate Reviews States can apply for $200 million in health care reform grants to develop programs preventing "unreasonable" health insurance rate hikes, the Department of Health and Human Services announced Thursday. The sweeping health care overhaul enacted 11 months ago requires health insurers in the small-group and individual markets to justify rate hikes deemed unreasonable. About $150 million announced Thursday will help states create and enhance rate review programs. Another $22.5 million will be given to states with higher populations, while $27.5 million will go to states with programs that allow them to block an insurance rate from going into effect — a power that many states currently lack (Millman, 2/24).
National Journal: As Reform Dollars Flow, Red States Hedge Their Bets Republican governors and even some Democrats may be criticizing President Obama's health care overhaul, but that's not stopping them from taking federal handouts with one hand while holding their nose with the other. The nearly year-old law will affect every corridor of the country's $2.5 trillion health care sector. In the short term, however, states see it as a practical ATM machine, tapping billions in available federal grants to gain some financial leeway before the major costs come due. The Department of Health and Human Services has funneled billions of dollars to state coffers since last spring, when Obama signed the sweeping legislation into law. On Thursday, his administration offered another $100 million in grants to help boost healthier living among those on Medicaid and $200 million to help states regulate health insurers. More than $886 million has gone to states whose governors are waging a public fight to unravel the nearly year-old law (DoBias, 2/24).
Modern Healthcare: HHS Announces Grants For Insurance Rate Reviews HHS has announced nearly $200 million in grants available to states in order to enhance their insurance rate review processes. A total of $250 million in state rate review funding was made available through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Last August, HHS awarded $46 million to 45 states and the District of Columbia to enhance their insurance rate review functions (Vesely, 2/24).

Friday 03 January 2014
Stand-out performers have not been hard to find in what is turning out to be a thrilling Barclays Premier League season, but few individuals have caught the eye in quite the same manner as Liverpool's talisman Luis Suarez. Leading the race for the Golden Boot on 20 goals so far, the Uruguayan has been in sensational form.
Here is why the Reds No 7 is such a special attacking talent.
Believe it or not, Luis Suarez arrived in English football with a reputation for profligacy in front of goal - and during his first 18 months at Anfield he proceeded to spurn a glut of gilt-edged opportunities. Frustration grew to such an extent that it was widely accepted he was not a natural finisher.
With 43 goals in his last 48 Barclays Premier League matches that theory has long since been disproved but as Table 1 below clearly shows, the former Ajax star has undergone a remarkable transformation. Since his arrival in January 2011, the South American has more than trebled his success rate when a chance presents itself.
Also see Image 1

|Chances created per match
|Shots per match
|Conversion rate
|Goals/ match
|20 in 15
|23 in 33
|11 in 31
|4 in 13
At 26, Suarez is maturing as a player. His movement has more intelligence, his strength and fitness levels have increased, while in front of goal there is more calm-headedness than in his younger, more impetuous days. When you also consider he has now fully adapted to the rigours of English football and the expectations of being a Liverpool player, this campaign is proving to be a perfect storm.
Liverpool's changing style under Brendan Rodgers is also significant to his development.
Under the Kenny Dalglish regime the set-up did not suit him as much as it does today. Looking at the stats from 2010/11, Liverpool's passing success rate was a low 77.1%, while they possessed 52.1% of the ball on average. So far this term, Liverpool have achieved 84.7% and 55.4% in those two respective areas.
The next season, no team in the Barclays Premier League crossed the ball more than Liverpool, who averaged 29 a match. Now this figure is 19. After an above-average 67 long balls per match in 2011/12, this season's average is down to 54.
Dalglish's tactics did not bring the best out of their intuitive front man, and with fewer creative talents around him to move the ball accurately and at speed, clear chances were harder to come by.
Now, with a focus on shorter passing (up 20% since he signed), neat through-balls (a 50% rise) and less hopeful deliveries from the flanks, Suarez is at the hub of everything and able to dominate the opposition. The philosophy deployed by Rodgers suits his star striker's game down to the ground.
What sets the Uruguyan apart from most centre-forwards is his ability to score any type of goal. As Table 2 highlights below, Suarez can produce a wide range of finishes, at any stage of any match.
|58 Suarez Goals
|Right 37
|Inside box 45
|Open play 43
|(76-90) 13
|Left 12
|Outside box 13
|Corner 5

|(46-60) 11
|Free-kick cross 4
|(31-45) 8
|Throw 1
|(61-75) 7
|(0-15) 7
Always on the move, drifting from side to side or into holes deep or beyond his markers, Suarez does not allow his game to be restricted by others. That is why he is equally comfortable playing the lone role, or forming an attacking duo.
In fact, despite sharing a fruitful partnership with Daniel Sturridge in 2013, with more freedom to roam along the front line and no one else taking up the positions he enjoys occupying, the Reds No 7 has performed better as a solo striker.
|In 2013
|Without Sturridge
|With Sturridge
|Chances created per match
|Shots per match
|Goals per match
More than half of Suarez's 23 Barclays Premier League goals last season came against sides in the top 13. This term it has been a different story.
It is worth noting that the Uruguyan has scored 16 of his 20 goals against clubs who have been struggling in the bottom seven - 14 of those (and 15 in total) celebrated in front of the Anfield supporters. Delivering match-winning displays in matches when Liverpool are strong favourites, has come easily to him. His performance against Norwich City, see Image 2, was simply sensational.
However, collecting the ball between the lines, isolating defenders in one-on-one situations, and running with the ball in the final third has proved trickier against the big guns. Blanks against Newcastle United, Arsenal, Hull City, Manchester City and Chelsea have left him and his team frustrated.
In Liverpool's recent defeat by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (see Image 3), Suarez was a little isolated. Put under great pressure in possession, crowded out by markers in front and behind, his team-mates found it difficult to hit the ball to Suarez's feet.
This is a problem that should be arrested once Daniel Sturridge returns to the starting line-up. Giving opponents a second striker to worry about, their own midfielders more options to hit, and Suarez somebody to combine with in close proximity will aid Liverpool in harder contests.
Some would argue there is no debate that Suarez is the finest striker in the Barclays Premier League, but Manchester City's Sergio Aguero has also been exceptional this term. Both gifted, mobile and lethal in front of goal, they appear similar types of players at first glance, but it is Suarez's ability to make things happen of his own accord – in varying situations – that sets him apart.
From dead balls, out wide, in the hole, or on the shoulder of the last man, Liverpool boast a front man who is threatening wherever he is on the pitch. Manchester City's star man, on the other hand, is a forward who likes to do his best work inside the 18-yard box.
In terms of his impact, this tale of the tape proves that Suarez has the edge.…
|Mins per goal
|Chances created (including assists)
Luis Suarez is the most in-form striker on the planet, and comfortably the most dangerous marksman in English football. With so much variation to his game, he is effectively two players rolled into one.
The impending return of Sturridge may affect their top scorer's individual contribution in the coming months, but I sense it will help the team, especially against well-organised defences that focus on stifling Suarez.
Nevertheless, Alan Shearer and Cristiano Ronaldo's joint record of 31 Barclays Premier League goals in a season is still likely to be smashed.

Save the Circle: fans of the show, The Secret Circle, and their campaign efforts.
To my Grandfather (World War II), my father (Vietnam), my great-uncles, and all those who served and serve our country, we honor and thank you.
I'd like to take a moment to share about a man who fought for our country in WWII, my grandfather. I don't know many stories about his time in the war, simply because he didn't enjoy talking about them. As a child I would rush to ask him questions, "Did you shoot a gun Grandpa?" or "Was it like the movies?" All questions, I realize now, were asked without an understanding of the hardship he most definitely endured. The kind man that he was, he'd pat me and say, "Oh, it's a time I'd no longer wish to remember, that's all." But through old letters (he wrote to my grandmother) and tales from his youngest brother, I uncovered a tiny bit.
In a clerical error, my Grandfather was sent to the wrong company. When he arrived they didn't know what to do with him. They were all sent to a mission (including him), during the mission they sent him for supplies. Upon his return, he found a gruesome truth, the Germans had bombed his entire company, he was the only survivor. Alone, he found a foxhole to live in, due to the snow and freezing conditions. He lived there for nearly a month, he then traveled. He was able to find a plank of wood and write my grandmother a letter. In a second letter to my Grandmother, he wrote that he found other soldiers and a home with one wall still standing - it felt like "paradise compared to the foxhole in the snow." I don't know of any battle stories, for he was a man that found no comfort in a room full of war stories. His brothers told of how he walked out of the room, his eyes welled up with tears, any time they began to talk of the war.
He was a humble and honorable man, never boasted or joyed in any of his many war stories. When the war ended, the arrival of his son, my father, expedited his return home. He now had two children, which changed his tally in points, allotting him a ticket back home.
He lived a long life, shared many wonderful years with his family, coaching his son on the baseball team, working at Goodyear, and then at his father's Steel Factory. In later years, he lost his wife and (three months later his) daughter. On a day when his eyes filled with tears, he said "I never knew how much I would miss Helen, she was my best friend, she gave me the happiest days of my life,…" Some time after this, his memory began to fade and he became afflicted with Dementia.
My Grandfather was the closest I witnessed to a blameless life. Always kind and loving. I never saw my Grandparents argue or raise their voices. As my mother said, "The house was full of love." In everything, he cherished family, faith, and happiness. He was very intelligent, teaching himself how to speak Spanish, play piano, and immediately solving a Rubik's cube that we received during Christmas time as children. He enjoyed playing classical music on the piano, volunteering at his church as an usher, and often delivered Eucharist to the elderly.
I am thankful to have the honor and blessing of knowing my Grandfather. He taught me what it is to love, respect, and honor your family and country. Even in his last days, he never complained, showed fear, or lost faith. He often welcomed us with smiles and uplifting words. One of his last words he spoke was in reference to Psalm 23, that says "The Lord is my Shepard I shall not want…" after the reading he replied, "I'm so glad, He is my Shepard."
A couple days later he passed. Just one day short of his son's birthday, once again ushering him a ticket home.
He is my hero.
"If you have a tattoo, you'll be fat."
"And if you smoke and have a tattoo, you're gonna be dead."
""Daddy, I'm bored." (me at 7 years old)
"Boring people get bored easily." (my dad)"
minutes later…
"Hey Daddy, look at me I'm playing jacks, I'm not bored…"
"Hey Daddy, look I'm going to make a jump rope out of hair ribbons…"

text: I had my bow out looking at it this evening and noticed that the top cam has a dent in it. It's about 1 1/2" long and NOT from an impact, the bow has never been dropped. I bought the bow new a few months ago but never got around to shooting it until last weekend. On the inside of the came where the string is it looks like someone took a file to it....very weird. If I could figure out how to post some pics I will. It just doesn't make any sense. With less than 10 days until bow season I'm not really keen on sending it back to Martin. Which brings me to my next question....do you send the bow directly to Martin or to the store you bought it?

The Westerville South product played mostly defensive end last season as a sophomore, but Long projects as a tight end at the next level.
"I did well at Nike and the competition was really strong there," Long stated. "I also had a good year as a sophomore and I played defensive end for the first time. I played a little tight end last year, but this year I will be playing full time at tight end."
"I like both spots, but I do like tight end better," he added. "I'm a very physical player and I think I'm a very smart player also. I'm working on trying to get faster at tight end, and being more of a game-changer as a junior."
College recruiters have already taken notice of Long, and several schools have been in contact.
"Boston College was in my school this week asking for my film," he explained. "I'm hearing from Michigan State, Penn State, Syracuse, Wisconsin, Iowa State, Michigan, and some of the MAC schools in Ohio."
"I don't really have a favorite list or anything, and I'm interested in all schools right now," he continued. "I would say schools like Michigan and Wisconsin seem to be great places to play college football, but I just want to go somewhere that I can do well academically and on the football field. I'm carrying close to a 3.0 GPA at this time, and I'm going to raise that over the next few years."
EVALUATION: After seeing Long in person at Nike, it's easy to point out that he absolutely aces the look test. He can move well, and showed the ability to get open and catch the football. Long is a top 2014 prospect in Ohio, and a player to watch going forward.

Pretty in Pink is one of a handful of movies I will watch anytime. I mean, I would watch it every day if it presented itself every day. There is something so very comforting about it, and I can't put my finger on it. Is it just because it was hatched at the same time that I was becoming aware of the world around me? Or is it something deeper? Yeah, that's right, I said deeper. Oh, this might be a high school romance and an icon of the '80s, but it is not a simple-minded tale. For anyone who hasn't seen it, Pretty in Pink is legendary director John Hughes' unique take on Romeo and Juliet. It is the story of Andie (Molly Ringwald), a very nice, creative, individualist girl of humble beginnings who falls for Blane (Andrew McCarthy), a rich kid, conformist and kind of a cad, and how they figure it all out. And the soundtrack? It, quite simply, kicks ass. See it on the big screen at midnight Friday or Saturday (or both) Landmark Inwood Theatre, 5458 W. Lovers Lane at Inwood. Call 214-764-9106 or visit landmarktheatres.com for tickets and information.

Elements of Nature from Field to Studio-October 2ndlfisler : September 25, 2014 5:27 pm : AMO Art Chat
I met Joe McGurl at Weekend With the Masters about two years ago. That was our in person meeting. I had actually interviewed him a few months earlier. In preparation for that interview Joe and I talked on the phone a couple times. With each discussion, it became apparent that Joe's passion for art was not only limited to his own paintings, but to the ideas that art is beauty. Over these two years, I have come to appreciate all that Joe does to raise the bar of art and art education. I warn you now, his passion is contagious and you'll be saying "YES!" to much of what he says. I look forward to studying with Joe at Art of the Carolinas in November. Join me for his two workshops, but hurry these will sell out! Click here to check out his upcoming workshops.
Elements of Nature from
Field to Studio with Joseph McGurl
Date: October 2, 2014 1:30 pm Eastern
Click here to register for this FREE chat!
A little background on Joe:
Joseph McGurl's paintings have been included in several museum exhibitions in Massachusetts, New York, California, and Rhode Island as well as being exhibited in several group museum exhibitions which traveled throughout the country. McGurl has been designated a Living Master by the Art Renewal Center in New York. He has been elected to the Guild of Boston Artists and is a Copley Master with the Copley Society of Boston, a fellow with the American Society of Marine Artists, and a signature member of the prestigious Plein Air Painters of America. His awards include the Guild of Boston Artists Gold Medallion and the John Singleton Copley Award for Artistic Achievement. He also received a Purchase Award, First Place in Landscape, and the Plein Air MagazineAward at the 2012-2013 Art Renewal Center International Salon.
Art Chat show description:
Rendering the elements is one of the most difficult aspects of landscape painting — how to make a tree look like a tree and a cloud look like a cloud. To solve this problem, Joe has developed many techniques to replicate in paint the characteristics of the objects found in nature. Our discussion will focus on various skills Joe uses in the field and also indoors to create masterful and gorgeous landscape paintings. We discuss the sight size method, more skillful use of the palette knife and brushes, manipulating the paint by varying its viscosity, a few unique tools that Joe has found extremely useful. We will also discuss color, value, composition, light, and many other issues relating to the world of art. Joe's studio landscapes originate in his imagination, his memory, or from referring to his plein air landscape sketches. He never uses photography. We discuss some of Joe's techniques of capturing plein air landscape by using his effective methods he employs to transform it into a larger scale studio painting. We will also discuss how understanding the physical aspects of nature can aid in your depiction of the landscape in paint.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Geoff Blum
Fri Jul 20, 2012 5:08 pm Diamondbacks released INF Geoff Blum.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum, who is in the second season of a two-year, $2.7 million contract, announced the news of his release via his personal Twitter account. The 39-year-old infielder has been limited to just 17 games this season due to an oblique injury, but he could latch on elsewhere as a bench player.
Fri Jul 20, 2012 3:21 pm The Diamondbacks are expected to release Geoff Blum.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum revealed the news himself on Twitter. He's batted just .143/.194/.143 while spending two months of the year on the DL with a torn oblique muscle. The 39-year-old could catch on somewhere with a minor league deal if he chooses to continue his career.
Source: Geoff Blum on Twitter
Mon Jul 2, 2012 6:52 pm Diamondbacks activated INF Geoff Blum from the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum batted just .237 (9-for-38) over 12 games during his rehab assignment, but the important part is that he didn't feel any discomfort with his oblique muscle. The Diamondbacks placed John McDonald (back) on the disabled list in a corresponding roster move.
Fri Jun 15, 2012 8:30 am Geoff Blum (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno Saturday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum has been out for two months with a torn oblique muscle, so he'll probably require more than a handful of at-bats. He should be back before the end of the month if he can avoid a setback.
Source: Arizona Republic
Mon Apr 30, 2012 12:11 pm Diamondbacks transferred INF Geoff Blum from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum has been out since the middle of April because of a torn oblique muscle, and can now be ruled out for all of May. The veteran infielder opened the year 1-for-11.
Thu Apr 19, 2012 11:42 pm Geoff Blum (oblique) said Thursday that he could miss as much as four to eight weeks.
Fantasy Source Spin: Initial reports were that Blum pulled a side muscle during batting practice on Tuesday, but the utility infielder actually suffered a torn oblique. His current timetable will likely leave him sidelined until late May at the earliest.
Source: Diamondbacks.mlb.com
Wed Apr 18, 2012 1:17 pm Diamondbacks placed INF Geoff Blum on the 15-day disabled list with a pulled side muscle.
Fantasy Source Spin: As expected. Blum tweaked a muscle in his side during batting practice and will likely be sidelined until the early part of May. The veteran utility infielder is 1-for-11 to begin the season.
Wed Apr 18, 2012 8:36 am Geoff Blum will be placed on the disabled list after pulling a side muscle during batting practice on Tuesday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The full extent of the injury isn't yet known, but he'll now be out until the early part of May. Blum is 1-for-11 so far this season. A.J. Pollock will replace him on the active roster.
Source: Nick Piecoro on Twitter
Mon Sep 5, 2011 6:30 pm Making his first start since coming off the DL on Thursday, Geoff Blum went 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI on Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: That silly two-year, $2.7 million deal handed to Blum finally paid off for the Diamomdbacks, as he knocked in his third, fourth and fifth runs of the season. He doesn't figure to play a lot behind Ryan Roberts this month, but perhaps that will change if he puts together a hot streak.
Thu Sep 1, 2011 3:09 pm Diamondbacks activated INF Geoff Blum from the 15-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum was sidelined for over a month due to a fractured right pinkie finger. The veteran utilityman will function as depth for the Diamondbacks down the stretch.
Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:50 pm Geoff Blum (finger) went 2-for-3 with an RBI single Monday in his first minor league rehab game with the AZL Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum also played five innings in the field. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready to return this weekend against the Giants. The veteran utility man has been sidelined since late-July with a fractured right pinky finger.
Source: Jack Magruder on Twitter
Sun Aug 28, 2011 8:23 am Geoff Blum (finger) took batting practice Saturday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson expects Blum to be ready to return in about two weeks. He's been out since late July with a fractured right pinky finger.
Source: Arizona Republic
Fri Aug 19, 2011 7:04 pm Geoff Blum (finger) has been cleared to resume throwing and swinging a bat.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum revealed the news himself on Twitter that the fracture in his right pinkie finger is healed. There's no timetable for his return to action, but he'll certainly be back sometime in September, if not late August.
Source: Geoff Blum on Twitter
Mon Aug 8, 2011 11:10 pm Geoff Blum (finger) took grounders Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum was placed on the disabled in late-July with a fractured right pinky finger. The veteran utility man is scheduled to undergo another X-ray next week and assuming all goes well, he will likely be back with the Diamondbacks before the end of the month.
Source: Jack Magruder on Twitter
Sat Aug 6, 2011 2:57 pm Geoff Blum will not require surgery to repair a fractured pinkie finger.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum revealed the news himself on Twitter, saying that an X-ray came back well and the finger is healing properly. He'll performing range of motion exercises for two more weeks before starting to swing a bat again. The utilityman could be back by the end of the month.
Source: Geoff Blum on Twitter
Tue Jul 26, 2011 2:32 pm Diamondbacks placed 3B Geoff Blum on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured pinkie finger.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum suffered the injury on Sunday and is likely to need over a month of recovery time. The veteran was 3-for-15 (.200) in his short time on the active roster.
Sun Jul 24, 2011 5:45 pm Geoff Blum left Sunday's game with a fractured pinkie.
Fantasy Source Spin: A bad break for Blum, who just returned from a significant knee injury. He shouldn't have been on your fantasy roster to begin with. On the off chance that he was, karma just reared its ugly head.
Source: Jack Magruder on Twitter
Thu Jul 14, 2011 7:00 pm Diamondbacks activated INF Geoff Blum from the 15-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum has not played an inning in the majors this season due to late-April knee surgery. He's expected to serve as a utilityman for the D'Backs going forward.
Sun Jul 10, 2011 8:43 am The Diamondbacks hope Geoff Blum (knee) will be ready for activation from the disabled list Friday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum has missed the entire season while recovering from knee surgery. He had two hits and a walk Friday in his third rehab game with Triple-A Reno. The D-backs will use him in a utility role when he's ready.
Source: Arizona Republic
Fri Jul 1, 2011 7:19 pm Geoff Blum (knee) isn't likely to return before the All-Star break.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum is currently playing every other day in the Arizona League, but recovering from preseason knee surgery, the Diamondbacks have no plans to accelerate his rehab. More than likely, he should be with Double-A Mobile or Triple-A Reno by this time next week.
Source: Nick Piecoro on Twitter
Sat Jun 25, 2011 8:51 am Geoff Blum (knee) is scheduled to to play every other day in the rookie-level Arizona League starting Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: He'll then progress to one of the Diamondbacks' full-season minor league affiliates. Assuming Blum has no setbacks with his surgically-repaired knee, we could see him before the All-Star break.
Source: Arizona Republic
Wed Jun 22, 2011 9:20 am Geoff Blum (knee) has been playing in simulated games and could be ready for rookie-level Arizona League games next week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Blum is coming back from arthroscopic surgery on his knee and has been recovering slower than expected. He should be ready by early July.
Source: Arizona Republic
Thu Jun 16, 2011 10:06 pm Geoff Blum (knee) fielded ground balls Wednesday and also took live batting practice.
Fantasy Source Spin: Both activities represent the significant amount of progress that Blum has made since the start of June. He's hoping to return to the majors in early July.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland Company says that after 44 years in Decatur, Ill., it is looking for a new location for its headquarters.

The company says it doesn't plan layoffs and will keep a workforce of 4,400 in Decatur, which also will become ADM's North American headquarters.
ADM says the new headquarters would have about 100 employees.
ADM is the largest employer in Decatur, about 180 miles south of Chicago. The company says it won't publicly discuss details about where it might relocate.
ADM is No. 27 on the Fortune 500.

text: The workplace is also an environment in which language is used as a powerful tool to either empower or oppress. For years women have complained of gender-discrimination in the workplace which constructs a glass ceiling in an organization above which they cannot rise. Language is a tool which helps keep women from advancing because it robs them of voice and the full expression of their identity. The work environment is often a male domain reinforced by tools like language. An aggressive, powerful woman is often seen as a "bitch", while the same kind of male is viewed with respect, admiration, and known as "ambitious". Yet, changes in language can empower groups oppressed by its usage. Very

What's more, says Waite, the recently and not-so-recently divorced women were more likely than the marrieds to be depressed, anxious, and to feel less satisfied with their life and health overall. And there's every reason to believe that these findings would hold true for men, she tells WebMD.
Still, getting divorced does not necessarily mean that you will become ill. "These are tendencies, not absolutes," says Waite. "Not everybody is going to have these consequences."
One of the best things a divorced person can do to increase his or her overall health is to find someone -- whether a counselor, a friend, a parent, or a support group -- to confide in. Being able to openly discuss problems and feelings with someone who'll listen is critical to remaining healthy, says Waite.
Of course there is never a guarantee when you say, "I do," but if you'd like to improve your odds against the heartache and health risks of divorce, keep this in mind: "The older you are at [the time of] marriage, the more likely your marriage will last," says Bramlett. "And being younger may help you get remarried, but it doesn't help you stay remarried."
Bramlett tells WebMD that a follow-up CDC study now under way, which includes men, may help clarify the reasons behind these significant differences in marital success.

Now This Is How You Blow An Engine

The call it a towing contest, but it's really a tug of war between a Range Rover and a Ford Raptor - who wins? »
Man, it's been a rough couple of weeks for Chevy trucks. First one gets publicly humiliated by a Dodge truck in a tug-of-war that was probably allowed to go on too long, and now another one gets soundly trumped by some German engineering. »
Here we see a Dodge drag a Chevy truck around the block in some righteous parking lot tug of war. There is screaming. There is big truck power. There is everything that's right with the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. »
We love when cars get down in some tug-of-war action. It's stupid and dangerous, but it looks cool. However, even watching a tug-of-war in person can be surprisingly dangerous. »
We have already expressed our undying love for automotive tugs of war. This one between a Mitsubishi Evo VII and a totally rad Mazda Familia GT-R is just as awesome as we'd hoped. »
Owners of Ford and Chevy trucks have spent at least 300 years fighting over who builds the best hauler. We may have a definitive answer in the form of this awesome brown Ford truck literally tearing his friend's Chevy limb-from-limb until the frame is ripped from the suspension and the whole thing flips over. »

November 9, 2006
It was a sad day for Senator Allen. With tears in his eyes, he made a speech in Alexandria Thursday afternoon. He said the people of Virginia have spoken and he respects their decision.
He was flanked on both sides by Senator John Warner and his family when he made that concession speech and with 23 years of service in politics, six of those in the Senate, he said he has always done the best for the people of Virginia. Because he respects the people of Virginia, he said he didn't want this race to drag on any longer.
A short time later, Democrat Jim Webb, in Arlington, gave a victory speech. He said Allen and he will work together and his going to pledge for bipartisanship and to work together for a united Virginia.
Allen said, "The people of Virginia who I always call the owners of the government, they have spoken and I respect their decision. The bible teaches us that there is a time and place for everything, and today I called an congratulated Jim Webb and his team for their victory. They had the prevailing winds."
Webb said, "I did receive a telephone call from George Allen a few hours ago. We had a good discussion. I want to report to you that he was very gracious and that he offered to assist us in this transition period. I thanked him for his many years of service to the people of Virginia and we actually have agreed that we are going to sit down and have lunch next week."
Allen said that it came down to just a quarter of one percent of the vote, well within his legal limits to call for a recount. He said he didn't want to do that to the people of Virginia, didn't want to spend tax payers dollars and create any more animosity than there already has been.

For the conservative's to win any elections it seems we need to figure out a way to have a national voice that sways opinion. How do we do that? We need to figure out a way to buy some of the major newspapers or major broadcast news channels like ABC, NBC or CBS. We need to level out the playing field. Having only FOX leaves us at a decided disadvantage. When people have their newspaper delivered to their home daily,with their slanted views of what's going on in America is a tough thing to overcome. Americans have been brainwashed into believing myths, like the rich should pay their fair share, when raising their taxes will not make a dent in the real problems facing this country

We have met quite a few Santa's this year. The first one was very special however and took place at the East Midlands shopping outlet. Santa arrived on a sleigh pulled by reindeers which trotted along the road, down the hill and into the carpark - it was awesome! We had just arrived and they trotted right past us! Santa was very jolly and waved hello to the kids. He looked like a proper Santa - even his beard looked authentic!
We had a walk around whilst Santa set up his stand and listened to the brass bands and children singing carols. There were some very friendly elves who made balloon space guns and swords for the boys. As this was about the third week in November it was a good way to get into the festive spirit!
We queued in line looking at the reindeers to visit Santa sat on his sleigh. Ethan's first words to him were "ey up my duck" which made me laugh.
Santa said to Ethan "ah i remember you from last year, i tickled your nose but you didnt wake up" Ethan looks perplexed!
Later on, he brought it up again "I cant remember Santa tickling my nose" No? "Did he have gloves on?, ah no i think he probably used a feather because cos (on a picture in the shopping centre) i saw he had a pen with a feather on!" Classic!
Since then we have seen numerous Santa's, two within an hour of each other and even a carpark full on Santa's on scooters! So, we are defintely going down the "Santa has lots of helpers" route. I have a feeling this first one was the real one though :)

Louise's 40th Birthday spent at Drayton Manor!

Just before we went back to school I met up with my sister and niece at the lovely Sherwood Pines. It was a beautiful autumnal afternoon with the sun peeking through the trees. We parked up (£4 for the day- and actually buying it on a Friday gave us parking till the Sunday night!) and made our way to the picnic area to get set up! As soon as you arrive you get the "chilled out" feeling that only nature can give you. The park is next to Sherwood Forest Center Parks and it reminds me of there lots. The main reason for going to Sherwood Pines is for the cycling routes although some people just go for the playarea or nature walks. It is also the location for Go Ape.
We made a spontaneous decision to hire bikes not really thinking what we would do or where we would go! Anyway I got a bike with a buggy thing on the bag for the 2 boys to sit in as, although both can ride bikes, it would be a very slow process! They loved the idea of being strapped in and pulled along like little kings. The bikes cost £7 each for a adult bike and it was £6 for the buggy.
We set off on the 3 mile family trail (green). There is also a 10 mile red route for the super fit! If you have a buggy on the back you can only go on the family trail but that suited us fine. My sister and niece had a go at pulling the boys in their buggy as although the hills were gentle I was very unfit!
It was a beautiful ride through the forest and I would highly recommend it to anyone. It took us about an hour to complete and was just about right to be honest. The boys were getting twitchy in their buggy and we were ready for a cuppa!
On our return we headed to the fantastic play area which kept the boys amused for ages - a huge sandpit with wooden houses featuring rope climbing walls, slides, buckets etc plus a tree top walkway. Loads of fun for all!
I think next time we will go with Daddy and get seats for the back of each bike so he can share the weight!

Whenever anyone mentions "Butlins" I get giddy with excitement as it takes me back to a fabulous weekend we had at Skegness in September 09. Butlins really are the pro's and know how to make a great family holiday. Here are some of the highlights in pics (though these don't even include the amazing swimming pool, great food, lovely apartment, wonderful nightime entertainment and fantastic Redcoats!) What topped it all was it was totally free with our wonderfully wonderful Tesco Reward tokens (ok, we do spend rather a lot in Tesco!).

Kids love the great outdoors there is no doubt about it and my two boys are no exception. Basically give them a field to run around in and you have made their day.
To make the most of this passion we started going camping with them in summer 2009 when the youngest was still only a tiny 3 months! We went to Callow Top Holiday Park in the depths of the Peak District (which is only about an hour from home but you really feel a million miles from anywhere there). The facilities the site offers for families are second to none - great playarea, hot showers, swimming pool and its own pub and brewery! There was even a kid's disco on the "village green" outside the pub which Ethan at 2 years old loved!
Here is a pic of Noah and myself in a nearby pub garden. Ok so camping doesn't do anything for your hair! And Ethan having a great adventure in the play area.

Good ol' Tesco treated us to a weekend away with Clubcard rewards, vouchers whatever they are called these days. We stayed at the Bobsleigh Hotel in Hemel Hempstead in a suite which was fantastic for us – plenty of room, separate sleeping area for kids, quiet (at least once the smalls were asleep that is). Breakfast was delicious – a great selection of cereals, fruit, pastries, cold meats and cheese followed by a freshly cooked to order Full English for us, and beans and scrambled eggs on toast for the boys. Anyway, enough about the hotel!

Last Thursday was a very exciting day for me. Not only was I taking a trip to London, without my adorable children, but it was also to be my first parent blogging event!
I was invited to a new venture between Sainsbury's and British Gas – a collaboration called Sainsburys Energy . This union gives customers reassurance from two giants in their field with their strong brand identity and customer loyalty. It also offers a chance for British Gas to be seen back on the High street for the first time in 20 years! It was held at the sustainable restaurant, Walnut located in West Hampstead.
The event was kicked off by the fabulous Lucy Siegle (The One Show, The Guardian) presenting an overview on the current agenda for the green cause with practical suggestions how home users can make small, or big, changes. For some very obvious reasons it is clear that environmental issues are a matter high on the agenda for government and local authorities with the great steps that are being taken with regards recycling. However, there are lots more things that can be done to use less energy and thus help take the strain off the earth's depleting resources. Although I like to think I am a keen recycler and consider green issues on a daily basis, I have to say I learnt a thing or two from her talk such as:
· Leaving electrical appliances such as the TV, set top box on standby can waste up to £15 per year in electricity
· Tumble dryers cost four times more to dry clothes than it uses to wash them
· Turning down the thermostat just 1 degree can save pounds every year
· Be conscious of the over packaging on supermarket products and try to buy products that use less unrecyclable waste
· Composting your decomposable waste is a great way to make a big difference.
British Gas and Sainsbury's made their presentation on what they could offer to help consumers make a difference to the bigger picture in the form of offering Home Energy Assessments that could help save a household £200 a year. Sainsbury's Energy also offers a solar panels installation service, allowing customers the ability to earn money generating their own electricity for the next 25 years.
The presentations were excellent food for thought to everyone who attended and it was fantastic to meet other parent bloggers who were as enthusiastic, if not more, as I was. The food was delicious as was the service. Special hellos go to Karen Cannard at The Rubbish Diet, Karin at Café Bebe, Carol at New Mummy, Emma and Erin at Emma and 3, Ella at Notes from Home, Tim at Bringing up charlie and everyone else I met there. Thanks to Natalie and Rory at TVC for arranging.

At the end of September Gary and I went to la viva Las Vegas!! Without children!!!
We headed to Heathrow on Sat night for flight Sun am.. All going great so far. Flight stopped off at JFK where there were huge queues for immigration. Note: do not enter America at one of their busiest airports! Just as well we had 4 hours to kill anyway. Eventually set off but then had to stop off at Kansas City for a medical emergency where a 78 yo guy sat behind us wasn't feeling well and Drs on board thought he needed to be seen at a hospital. I was beginning to think we would never arrive in Las Vegas.. does it really exist this place!?
Anyway woohoo got there just a few hours behind schedule and all smooth. Checked into Bellagio and walked over to Vdara and Aria hotels to explore, Ker-ching (that is btw the sound you hear ALL around the Vegas hotels)!
Next morning we walked up to the Venetian hotel for breakfast at Bouchon. Yummmmmm. Then we hit the fashion show mall for some retail therapy without small people. Bliss… Stopped off for cocktails and nachos, hey why not then back to hotel to change for our evening out!
Firstly we went to Bobby Flay's restaurant Mesa Grill (he apparently is the US's equvalent to Jamie Oliver) in Caesars Palace. Caesars is like a city in itself to be honest with malls of shops. shops. shops, restaurants and bars. You can see why Vegas is know as Disneyland for adults. Anyway it was a delicious fish-cajun type combo meal.. yummmmmm
The entertainment for our evening was no less than Penn and Teller at the Rio hotel. Although this hotel was literally around the corner from ours it literally was dicing with death getting there as we decided to walk. Basically crossing freeways that are the equivalent of the M1! Anyway got there safely and noted that we would be getting a taxi home. Amazing, amazing, amazing is the best description of the evening. We had great seats and Gary noticed that Penn was actually playing in the band who were on before the main show (a sort of background music thing going on), noone else seems to pick that up but then again we were sat next to them. I have no idea how they did any of their tricks and that is the way I would like it to stay.. it was magic! Afterwards the boys were in the foyer for us to have our pics taken with them (well not me, Gary actually!). Anyway after a few more drinks in the hotel we headed back to our hotel.
Next day (my birthday!) we went to Miracle Mile shops across the road for breakfast at a Mexican restaurant. Had a wander around the shops then a walk up the Strip towards New York, New York hotel and its wicked roller coaster. The roller coaster doesn't actually look that high, until that is you are actually on it! When it is crawling very slowly for what feels like forever… After all that fun we had a burger in the hotel then carried on walking up the Strip towards MGM, Excaliber, Luxor and Mandalay Bay. For some very strange reason I hadn't actually brought out with me on my actual 39th birthday, my passport meaning I had no proof of age (thinking perhaps I wouldnt actually need it!). Oh how wrong was I! Arrived very thirsty from such a long walk at Mandalay Bay hoping for a long cold cocktail in the Ice Bar we couldn't get in because we didn't have any ID! ROAR! Instead went round the Shark Reef Aquarium where I sulked like a teenager, and an alcoholic one at that. Thinking this might be a one-off we also tried to get a drink in MGM but again was asked for ID. I know I should have taken this as a compliment but it was just plain annoying in 100 degree heat on your birthday! Anyway a quick taxi ride to get my ID and back to MGM for dinner at Emerils yummy restaurant. Very very nice and worth all the hassle. I never got asked for ID when I actually had it!
After all the walking we decided to spend Wednesday chilling out in the sun at the many pools the Bellagio had to offer and this was a fab idea. Had breakfast at the hotel pattiserie and swam and sunbathed the day away. Mid afternoon we headed to the infamous Wynn hotel for their champagne buffet where we dined on crabs legs, curry, steak and lots and lots of delicious desserts. Also went to see the pirate show at Treasure Island and the exploding volcano at the Mirage hotel before heading downtown to Fremont Street where the whole Las Vegas thing started. This was a real highlight as we were able to play $1 blackjack, drink $1 beers and generally get into the spirit of the place with lots of showgirls and Elvis' hanging around. We even got some extra tips from our fellow blackjack players which was very useful!
Thursday and our last full day sob sob! Started off with breakfast in Cafe Bellagio which was nice but nothing special. The sun was so hot we had another relaxing day by the pool, popped over to get some more suncream from the Miracle Mile shops and just had a nice relax. We had a table booked at Cut a fancy restaurant by Wolfgang Puck in Palazzo so headed up there mid afternoon. Bought some perfume at Jo Malone en route. Had a delicious meal followed by birthday surprise dessert and then headed to the Mirage hotel to see the Cirque de Solei "Love" show a magical mystery display of dancing and acting set to Beatles hits although that doesn't really describe the amazing display that we saw - fantastic show and another highlight! Had a few cocktails in the Revolution bar before which were very yummy. Anyway what a way to end an amazing holiday!
Flew home without incident, thankfully, and back to pick up our gorgeous little boys who by now I was going crazy missing. It was really good to have some quality time with Gary and a break from the routine of motherhood but I don't think I will be rushing off leaving them again in a hurry. It was hard and I think next time they will have to come with us, though perhaps not to Las Vegas!

Perth TT
Electrical Testing & Tagging
Perth Testing and Tagging was established in 1994 to help Australian businesses meet their electrical safety obligations.
As their business developed, it became evident that businesses were not adhering to Australian Safety Standards AS/NZS 3760:2010.
After lengthy research they identified that most companies wanted to meet their OHS reasonabilities but did not have the expertise or the manpower to do this. This is where Perth Testing and Tagging can help: they have established a specialised business within Australia devoted to electrical safety testing.
Their services include:
• Electrical Testing and Tagging
• Emergency Light Testing
• RCD Testing
• Thermal Imaging
• Microwave Leakage Testing
Their head office is located in Perth, WA. However, as their client base has grown they have developed a nationwide service with testing teams in every state, providing excellent customer service.
Their business continues to grow and so does their expertise, enabling them to offer their services to any business.
