WARSAW — There's an old saying in golf that you play the course, not your opponent.
While the Plymouth's girls golf team is certainly happy to be seeded third at Saturday's Warsaw Golf Sectional, that's the mindset the Lady Pilgrims are trying to cultivate.
Plymouth enters this year's 40th Annual IHSAA State Tournament with a strong record of 11-3 and wins at one time or another over every team in the field with the exception Rochester and Warsaw — the other two teams in Saturday's first grouping — but first-year head coach Bruce Rearick is more concerned with Stonehenge than his girls' pairings.
"The thing in the sectional that I've noticed — and this is my first year coaching, but I've certainly followed it since my daughter's been playing and before with other girls that I used to teach — it's more about controlling your emotions than it is who you've got to beat," said Rearick. "The team that gets out is usually the one that just plays golf and doesn't worry too much about what's going on and kind of does their own thing; plays the golf course instead of playing the other team."
Last year the Pilgrims finished fourth at the Warsaw tourney, just six strokes shy of regional advancement, and Plymouth finds itself on the bubble again as Saturday's sectional looms with Culver Girls Academy, Wawasee — which edged Plymouth by five strokes at last weekend's Northern Lakes Conference meet — and Columbia City all challenging for a top three spot in the second grouping of a competitive field. Triton will pair off with Tippecanoe Valley and Whitko in the final grouping at the meet.
One asset for the Pilgrims at this year's tourney is experience as four of last year's top five are back with the team in Lauren Rearick, Emily Berger, Kelly Henderson and Emily Denney, while only one golfer — freshman Morgan Oberley — will be playing in her first sectional tilt Saturday.
The Pilgrims were right in the thick of last season's regional hunt, but a handful of holes on the back side at Stonehenge kept them from advancing. They'll focus specifically on managing those challenging holes in their practice round today as they look to rewrite history.
"I think we know the golf course," said Bruce Rearick. "We're going to spend some time on just two or three holes that are tough to negotiate just because of water and length — it's tough to lay up, and you can't really go for it. It's a driver, wedge, 6 iron type of thing. So we're going to try to work on strategy to handle those holes because if you take the 11th and 12th holes at Stonehenge out of our score, last year we qualify. So we're going to spend a lot of time working on the strategy of those holes, and I think it'll help with nerves if we go in there knowing what we want to try to do and knowing that you don't need to be a hero to shoot the score on that hole that we need to move on to the next level."
Even if Plymouth fails to advance, any one of its players stands a shot at making the individual cut out to the East Noble Regional as the Pilgrims have put up consistent scores from one to five all year. CGA's Samantha Seibel and Mackenzie Toth are both possibilities as well if the Lady Eagles fall short of advancing in the team tourney, while Triton's best hopes lie in Hannah Jennings and Lizzy Erne.
First tee times are scheduled for 9:30 a.m.
LaPorte, Penn Sectionals
While Plymouth, Triton and CGA compete at Saturday's Warsaw Sectional at Stonehenge, three other area teams will kick-start the IHSAA golf series Friday.
Bremen and LaVille play in the Penn Sectional at Knollwood, scheduled to start at 9 a.m., while John Glenn makes its first trip to the LaPorte Sectional at Beechwood, also scheduled for 9 a.m. EST.
"By the luck of a realignment into the LaPorte Sectional only six teams will have enough girls to compete for the team title so in that regard we have a 50-50 chance to move on," said Glenn head coach Randy Schmeltz. "LaPorte seems to be the favorite at this time. New Prairie and LaPorte have a lot of access to the course, and I have not seen very many team scores in the paper for Michigan City or Hanover Central, and North Judson is very competitive as well. New Prairie won our conference and we were five shots off in third. I really believe any three teams could advance with a good day on the course."
"In all the team is excited with the new format and location at LaPorte and are looking forward to Friday's competition," he added.
Glenn's Maddy Silvey and Morgan Eggleston look to lead the Lady Falcons after All-Northern State Conference finishes last Saturday, and the rest of the team seems to be peaking at the right time as well.
"I have four girls averaging in the 50s, and three of them have been in the 40s this year, and because of the site and size of our sectional anything below 100 could possibly be in the hunt," said Schmeltz. "Madeleine Silvey, a junior, has really come in to her own the past three weeks taking over our number one position. Sophomore Morgan Eggleston is playing her best golf of the season as well. Another sophomore, Kaylee Matz is constantly in the low 50s and is improving every week. Junior Emma Reese just shot a 47 in our last match at Christiana Creek to lead our team to a 15-9 season record."
Bremen edged out Glenn by a stroke for runner-up honors at last Saturday's Northern State Conference meet on the Lady Lions' home course at Sprig O'Mint and has a shot to qualify for next weekend's East Noble Regional as the Penn Sectional convenes Friday. Kaitlyn Ahlenius and Melissa Krathwohl tied for fifth at the NSC meet, and teammate Kayleigh Daily also earned all-conference honors.
LaVille comes into the Penn tourney with an even 9-9 record as both the Lancers and the Lions will look to contend for the final spot out in the top three behind clear favorites Penn — which finished second at last year's state finals — and St. Joseph's, both of whom call Knollwood their home course.
"The girls have steadily improved throughout the season. (It's a) good time for the sectional as we have had two solid scores this week at Swan Lake, Monday and Wednesday," said LaVille head coach Steve Read. "Key to advancing to next round is that all the girls shoot below season average."
While LaVille will have to find a way to bring its team score down at an unfamiliar course, Lady Lancers number one Lauren Read should be in the hunt for advancement following her strong turn as individual NSC champion last weekend and four top 10 invitational finishes this season, including a runner-up placement at the Caston Invite. She also has a few rounds under her belt at Knollwood and a pretty good idea of who she'll be up against.
"My daughter has played there annually in the St. Joseph County Junior Tour, where she has competed against many of her sectional competitors," said Steve Read. "She's been playing very consistently considering she is a freshman."

Rianna Krushchechevii [Ri]
Followers: 0 Following: 0 Stories: 1
I was born Riis Nikita Krushchechevii in the year of 1995 in the month of October on the 13th day. Sadly, it started on a rocky path my mother was an angel that could only have come from god. But my father was an abusive alcoholic that seemed to be a spawn from the devil. So there it began a childhood lacking in hugs and kisses most youngsters recieve. Even though my childhood was short it was still full of memories worth cherrishing. The moments I hated were those were my father came home late drunk and our front living room some how becoming a boxing ring. Skipping forward a few years, in the year of 2000 I started school. Thus changing my life forever. Somehow school became an escape, a place were I didn't have to worry about what would happen if I made a mistake or didn't complete something the way it was supposed to be completed. In the beginning of my first grade year though all that seemed to dissappear. For during this time period I came to thee Americas for the first time. Which seemed to make school just as much of a place called hell as my home had become. That year was full of insults, vulgar attacks and cruelty. Which ultimatly tore me apart inside causing me to grow cold and somehow became known as the girl with no friends. Many people only saw me for what was on the outside which to be honest was just an angery little girl. But on the inside I was a terrified child pleading for someone to come and save her. On the inside I was slowly dying with each passing day. School was no longer an escape it was a passage to hell. It was just another palce that I did not belong.

Calls are pouring into the Humane Society of North Iowa with offers to adopt an abandoned dog that ate her own tail to survive.
Calls to take Goldie home have come from as far away as Australia. Humane Society officials also say many people have donated money on behalf of the golden retriever.
Applications for adoption are being accepted through the end of the week. Officials will then make a decision on a new owner.
The newspaper reports Goldie was badly abused when she was discovered along with several dogs at an apartment in Forest City. The other dogs now have new owners.

Think it would be possible to add a simple timer/tracker for Rune of Power? It would be nice to have some sort of reminder to recast it when it's almost done. Obviously most of the time I'm standing in my own so I notice, but if I have two up (one for me, one for another person/group) it would be helpful to have something to remind me to put it back up for them without having to watch it! :) Love the add-on; it makes being a mage much more fun!!

My sound is going through PC instead of the MIC with headset
So i've been browsing forums for a while now and can't find out what's going on. I have a sound card with Realtek HD Audio. Recently, I connected a PCIM cord to my motherboard so I can have sound on an HDTV, which works fine. SINCE then, this problem started. The front ports for MIC and sound don't work at all, I don't get an "audio device detected" message. If i plug my headset MIc and Sound into the back of the PC, i hear the sound but so does everyone else instead of my Voice. I can tell this i whats happening because when I right click on recording options i see the bars on the mic moving with my sounds. Now if I unplug the sound portion and leave the MIC in, it does pick up my voice as normal. I can even plug in my speakers and they will play sound and it will work that way. not really ideal for a headset however, I'm not sure what setting to change or what to do to get this to work. Also the headset does not show up in playback devices, i have show hidden and unused checked. I tried to update my drivers but when I try to install them windows gives me a "untrsuted" pop-p that re-appears not matter how many times I select allow. any ideas?

Windows 7, 64 bit Home SP1, Win 8.1.1 Pro 64 bit
When you are using HDMI, that becomes the defaul audio playback device. In order for the PC sound system (including headphones) to work or properly work the "Speakers" (your sound card) must be set as the default audio playback device.
Windows only allows you to have one default audio playback device, e.g. HDMI OR Speakers but not both.

I did manage to fix the front jack issue, but the pc isntead of mic problems persists. I do have 2 different devices i have swithc between speakers and "digital output" if I want to use my TV. picking either as default doesnt fix the issue.

Unlike lesions associated with mild-to-moderate forms of acne vulgaris that present on or near the skin's surface, nodular acne spots form well underneath the skin and are characterized by large hard bumps. They can be extremely painful and linger for months and, if left untreated, may even flare up again in the same place. Because nodular acne typically leaves scars in its wake, it is not recommended that these types of lesions be squeezed as it may cause the nodules to linger even longer.
What Are the Causes of Nodular Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that most people experience at some point of life, typically the teenage years, when hormones that encourage breakouts are running high. Unfortunately, all types of acne are not the same. Acne can range in severity from simple blackheads and whiteheads that are easily treated with a good skin care regime and prescription topical creams, to a more severe and pervasive form of acne that forms under the skin. Nodular acne, a severe form of acne vulgaris, can require intensive dermatological treatment.
What Is Nodular Acne?
How Nodules Form
According to the Mayo Clinic, acne is the result of three factors: sebum overproduction, bacteria buildup and shedding of dead skin cells that irritate hair follicles in the skin. The follicles of hair in the skin are connected to the sebaceous glands--glands that produce the oil that lubricates and protects the skin. When the body produces excess sebum, it doesn't have time to travel along the hair shaft and onto the skin's surface. Instead, hair follicles become plugged with sebum and dead skills. If this blockage takes place deep inside the hair follicle rather than closer to the skin's surface, nodular acne is the result.
Other Causes
Acne of any type is typically the result of hormonal changes and fluctuations. Changes in hormones are common in teens, pregnant women and females two to seven days before a menstrual period begins. People who use certain medications, such as cortisone, may also experience increases in hormone levels. But there are other factors that contribute to acne as well, including factors of heredity. If your parents had acne, you have a greater chance of having it as well. Additionally, plying oily or greasy topicals to the skin (including certain cosmetics) can have an effect on breakouts.
Treating Nodular Acne
While topical creams work well for mild-to-moderate forms of acne, nodular acne usually requires more aggressive therapy. Oral antibiotics may be prescribed to fend off bacteria and reduce inflammation. But even antibiotics may not be enough. A treatment regime called isotretinoin, which goes by the brand name of Accutane, is often prescribed for patients with deep nodular acne. While this is a very effective treatment plan, it must be closely monitored by a dermatologist because of the numerous side effects that can present. Accutane cannot be taken by women who are pregnant or who intend to become pregnant because the drug can damage the fetus. Accutane can also increases liver enzyme levels, and some patients develop inflammatory bowel disease after its use.
Nodular Acne and Surface Scarring
Because nodular acne generally results in surface scarring, patients may want to consider laser and light-based therapy. This treatment also penetrates the deep layers of the skin, causing the sebaceous glands to produce less oil. This treatment also reduces the appearance of scarring. Therefore, it's an ideal treatment for patients with both active acne and scarring. Other ways of reducing nodular acne scarring include dermabrasion, laser resurfacing and injection of collagen or fat into the scars.

Find affordable breaks in the Canaries
The Canary Islands, with their balmy weather, exotic volcanic landscapes and seemingly endless soft-sanded beaches, are a haven for travellers looking for a cheap holiday with a difference. From sunbathing to scuba diving, national parks to nightlife, this charming group of Spanish islands has everything you could ever want from a fantastic European break.
Whatever the nature of your stay, renting one of HomeAway's villas in the Canary Islands will not only offer a great base, but the chance to sample a different way of life. You can enjoy the ample sunshine, the Canary's unique version of Spanish culture, and admire dramatic island scenery whilst enjoying the peace and security only a private home can offer. We have villas to rent throughout the islands, ranging from arid landscapes in Lanzarote and shining soft-sanded beaches in Fuerteventura, to secluded National Parks in Tenerife and lush forests in La Palma.
Top places to visit in Canary Islands
Holding claim to the best (and biggest) beaches in the Canaries, Fuerteventura is a haven for water-sports enthusiasts, and anyone who seeks golden sands stretching as far as the eye can see. For beaches and water-sports, you need look no further than the breezy dunes of Corralejo at the northern tip of the island, or for a more secluded beach area, head to the sands west of Playa Del Mattoral. If volcanic landscapes sound more appealing, head inland to La Olivia, where you'll find the majority of our beautiful Fuerteventura villas.
View Fuerteventura holiday villas
As the largest and best-known island in the Canaries, Tenerife is a tourist favourite. In the centre of the island towers Pico Del Teide: at 3718 metres high, it's the tallest mountain in Spain, and offers spectacular views of neighbouring islands out to the Atlantic Ocean. To the south you'll find excellent nightlife, with Los Christianos and Playa De Las Americas topping the lists for places to party. If a more relaxed holiday is on the cards, head north to the capital of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, or west to the stunning cliffs of Los Gigantes: you'll find a more traditional take on Canarian culture!

Gran Canaria
As an island of many faces, Gran Canaria holds much more than its traditional beach image may portray. Las Palmas in the north is the island's main city, with everything you could ever want from a bustling Mediterranean metropolis. Along the coast, meanwhile, are a range of beach towns and resorts, but if you're feeling adventurous then head for the central National Park of Garajony. Gran Canaria also boasts an array of excellent historical sites: the Iglesia de San Juan church, which sits above chilled-out Arucas, is well worth a visit.
View Gran Canaria holiday villas
Sometimes called "the windy isle" due to its warm Atlantic breezes, Lanzarote is a little different from its neighbouring Canary Islands. Arrecife is the island's main city: from here, you can book various guided tours to explore the lunar volcanic landscapes surrounding, or simply lie back and relax on the beach! For a taste of history head north to Teguise, where the impressive looking Castillo de Santa Barbara stands majestically over the town. For something a little more unusual, why not try the pirate charm of a tour with the Marea Errota? It sails out of Playa Blanca, and provides a great way to see the island.

La Palma
Whilst Lanzarote is called "windy", La Palma has earned the name "pretty island". The greenest of all the Canaries, it features fantastic walking trails around its expansive National Park, and cycling tours are operated by a variety of companies around the island. Of course, La Palma's not purely not for outdoorsy types: Playa Las Palmas features a host of good restaurants and bars, and there are plenty of historical sites to explore. In the evening, why not visit the Roque de los Muchachos observatory, and enjoy a glass of local wine? The island has a thriving wine culture, and booking a tour around a vineyard offers a fantastic way to spend the day.

Things to do in the Canaries: Free and affordable activities!
No matter what island you're on, a visit to the Canaries' unique volcanic landscapes is a must. There are various coach tours available, but you can easily choose to hike or cycle and head off on a private adventure. Indeed, why not spend your days exploring the various national parks which sit in the centre of many of the islands? You could go in search of local wildlife (and yes, Canaries do live in the Canaries!) whilst walking through ancient and strange magma-formed scenery. For something truly weird and wonderful, visit the pool of blind crabs in Lanzarote, or see the man-made geysers created from boreholes on the same island.
Scuba diving and snorkelling are also popular activities, and sampling the amazing seafood is an unmissable opportunity. Try the famous salt-encrusted Canary potatoes - usually served with the catch of the day - whilst being serenaded by guitar in your local, friendly bar. Sequester yourself in tiny Canarian cafes and drink in the atmosphere alongside fresh coffee, before visiting one of the many historical churches, villas and castles dotted around the archipelago. Or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, why not take a leap of faith and go paragliding in La Palma?

'3D' Hurricane Force Headwind
Too often in investing we concentrate on the little decisions—the "trees"—that may impact the portfolio for the next quarter, year, or even three years. The "trees" of security and manager selection receive the bulk of our investment management resources, while the "forests"—the big issues that will affect our portfolios for potentially decades—receive scant attention. Such long-term thinking is difficult amidst the barrage of daily economic news and the steady flow of quarterly peer group rankings. We are a short term lot, us homo sapiens, reacting on instinct while seeking comfort and safety. We didn't survive the lions of the African Veldt by planning ahead five or ten years!
But the forests will inevitably have the greatest impact on our future, on the returns we can expect from endowment and retirement assets, and ultimately on the way we should allocate assets. In this issue we examine three critical long-horizon issues—the deficit, the national debt, and demographics—and find a disturbing structural headwind that will impede the real returns we can expect from financial assets in the years ahead. The coming quarter century will be very, very different from the past quarter century; the lessons we've learned in the past generation may lead us astray in the coming generation.
The Deficit
It's common knowledge that the
Figure 1. The Fiscal Budget Deficit —Official and Unofficial—1953–2008

The gold line shows the 12-month change in the national debt. Hmmm… isn't the deficit supposed to match the change in our national debt? The big difference between the two lines is the off-balance-sheet spending, of which the largest component is the prefunding of entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security, which bumps the 25-year average deficit up to 4.5%. On this metric, the much-vaunted budget surpluses of the late 1990s disappear.
The green line adds in the incremental net indebtedness of government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), which are now officially backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government. If we add the incremental net debt of the GSEs, year by year our average annual deficit spikes to 7.9% of GDP. And, the dotted line shows the impact of adding the unfunded portion of Social Security and Medicare. The average increase in our national debt, including unfunded obligations and GSEs, soars to 9.8% of GDP for the past 25 years. The latest 12 months saw our public debt and unfunded obligations grow by 18% of GDP! No wonder the debt seems to have grown crushingly large.
It's noteworthy that, if a company computes its debt by ignoring off-balance-sheet and unfunded obligations, the management team wins an all-expense-paid extended holiday at Club Fed. Enron, anyone? But, if you write the laws, you can allow yourself these games. In emerging markets debt investments, managers are wary of sovereign credits when their deficits approach 5% of GDP. Yet here we are, after measuring on a more economically accurate level, running at twice this worrisome warning level… for over 25 years.

New York City, NY (PRWEB) October 3, 2009 — Mike Veny, professional drummer and drum teacher promotes music education for kids of all ages on his two e-commerce websites through his "You Save – We Donate™" program that benefits the Fender Music Foundation.
Veny has been teaching and playing drums professionally for over 20 years. From his drum studio located in Times Square, New York City, he has built not only a thriving drum lesson business and musical outreach to emotionally and mentally disabled children, but now manages two wildly successful e-commerce enterprises that are helping to fund music education programs nationwide. Advocating music instruction in schools, Veny donates a portion of each purchase made at FunkyMusicStore.com and FunkFootwear.com to help fund the efforts of the Fender Music Foundation. This nonprofit foundation provides funding and resources for music programs and music education across the United States; helping kids and adults experience the joys of music first hand.
"Music is an important part of my life and I was fortunate as a child to have a music program in my school. Some kids are not so lucky," says Veny.
Performing as a professional drummer since the 11th grade, Veny immersed himself in the world of drumming at an early age. A "funk drummer at heart," Veny's musical interests range from contemporary Christian music to blues and jazz. "I have a passion for music with a strong groove that feels good," he says.
This drummer turned philanthropist additionally reaches out to local area kids with special needs through his therapeutic drum classes, in conjunction with Family and Children's Association of Long Island.
"Drumming is a fundamental form of creativity, one that brings these kids out of themselves and allows them to interact in a new and exciting way," he says.
Please visit FunkyMusicStore.com and FunkFootwear.com for more information.

Reply To: Crank Review #5
Ah — good to connect real names with aliases. Your posts on Weight Weenies are certainly excellent.
It's a funny difference in perspective: you say "only 1.6 watts" but I see "a whopping 1.6 watts". That's around 5 seconds up Old La Honda road, as much effect as 350 gram difference in crank mass.
By "heat" I am referring to conservation of energy. Assuming the leg can output the same power, aerobically limited, then power goes to either propulsion or to heat. The heat can be in the bicycle or in the human body. However, the leg sees a certain force-versus-position trajectory: one with an infinitely stiff crank, a slightly different one with a flexible crank. Assuming no power is lost in the bicycle itself, then it's not obvious to me that the flexy-crank trajectory is going to yield more internal dissipation in the leg than the other. True, the crank may be pushing less against the leg during the upstroke, but this is balanced by the fact the leg is pushing less on the crank on the downstroke. Power transmitted to the crank would be reduced, but the aerobic system is worked less, and therefore the body is able to adjust and push harder. It spreads out the force pattern more over the distance of the pedal trajectory, perhaps, but the integral of force dot distance with respect to distance is constrained by the power.
Forget about the human leg: that's hopelessly complex. I could assume the crank is hooked up to a lossless machine which is programmed to deliver a fixed amount of mechanical power to the crank such as the one Metrigear built to test the Vector. In that situation, the flex must be relieved either propulsively or via heat in the bicycle. I know in this situation my money's on the vast majority of those 1.6 watts going into the drivetrain. It's the obvious energy sink.
It would be interesting to see FEA of this.
P.S. There's a general confusion (not from you, but in the subject as a whole) about the difference between elastic compliance and inelastic compliance. For example, if I put a thick insole in my shoe, it is easy to understand than when I compress it, then allow it to expand, I will get only a fraction of that energy back, and therefore it's better to not use thick insoles. The insole will deform one way, then un-deform a different way, yielding hysteresis which results in heat generation. With highly springy materials like Al, and to a lesser extent carbon fiber which is more lossy, the direct hysteresis will be far less and so energy loss becomes more dependent on the nature of the load.

What is the Dyson DC59?The Dyson DC59 is the opposite of the typical bulky, floor-bound vacuum cleaners most people know and… probably don't love. It's cordless with a claimed 20-minute battery life, it's light enough to handle singlehandedly and it's flexible enough to reach awkward corners, clean the carpets and use in your car. At least, that's the idea, but does the Dyson DC59 really deliver on all these promises, improve upon the Dyson DC34 it follows and justify its hefty £350 price tag? It's a tough ask.
Dyson DC59: DesignOn looks alone, it certainly does. Dyson has done something pretty special with the DC59 – it's made a vacuum cleaner look not only smart and distinguished, but given it a sense of style and allure normally reserved for fashionable gadgets like the iPhone 5S. This isn't the sort of unsightly vacuum you want out of sight in a cupboard; it is as much a carefully designed, aesthetically pleasing gadget as a cleaning product.
Dyson has paid attention to the practical details, too. Rather than a dumb on/off switch button, it has a power trigger. This ensures you don't use more power than you need, extending the battery as far as possible. It makes it fun to use, too.
The Dyson DC59 isn't too hard on your wrist or back, either. It weighs just two kilos (about the same most laptops), which makes it easy to tilt it to the ceiling or reach tight corners with minimal strain. It's incredibly well-balanced, too, which makes it easier to handle than if the weight were biased too low or high.
Our only small complaint is the number of scuff marks and blemishes the motorised cleaning head has after just a couple of weeks of use. It's not a critical problem, but we expect a little more hardiness at this price.
SEE ALSO: Best Washing Machines 2014
Dyson DC59: FeaturesVersatility is the Dyson DC59 stock in trade, so it makes sense it comes with plenty of attachments. The main one is a motorised cleaning head for normal carpets, but it uses more power so there's a standard non-motorised one as well in addition to the crevice tool and bristled extension for those more delicate areas.
All of these attachments fit either directly to the body, or at the end of the one-metre rigid extension, which means the Dyson DC59 comfortably doubles as a handheld vacuum (for car interiors, table tops etc.) and a standard vacuum for normal housework.
The Dyson DC59 is the latest Dyson to feature its 'two tier' cyclone suction system. We first saw it in the Dyson DC49 and its benefits are clear in the DC59, too. It helps filter out even the smallest particles of dust, and during testing we experienced no seepage of fine dust.
While we love DC59's versatility and dexterity, its most practical feature is the neat wall mounted docking station. The dock, which screws into the wall, is a brilliant addition that stores and charges the vacuum, and holds two cleaning attachments. It's useful so that you don't forget to charge the DC59 between cleans – an important point considering the 20-minute battery life.
Although the claimed 20-minute Dyson DC59 battery life doesn't sound that impressive, in practice it's more than ample for a couple of full sweeps of a moderately sized two-bedroom house. The trigger system is key here as you never leave it running unnecessarily, which makes the difference between the DC59's battery life and the 40-minute cleaning time of the Gtech Air Ram less pronounced.
With all this said, it does reinforce the fact the Dyson DC59 is really a vacuum cleaner for smaller households. Its size and nimble design make it ideal for small houses and flats, but it's a tight limit to clean a large family house in 20 minutes – not least as the dust capacity is quite limited, more on which in a moment.

Pot Pies in New Haven/Fairfield Counties
I would love a homemade pot pie (chicken, beef, turkey, or vegetable). Any idea on where I can get a great one?
I don't know if one could categorize this as "great" but the Post Road Diner in Norwalk sometimes has a relatively home made chicken pot pie as a special. I'd just make my own, frankly, because it's pretty easy...
Philips Diner in Woodbury has amazing homemade chicken pies-just chicken and gravy inside...mmmmm
Lyman Orchards in the middlefield/Wallingford area makes great take home pies. Small or family size
I finally got to Dottie's Diner the other day, formerly Phillip's Diner in Woodbury. I have been wanting to go there for months and have dreamed about the pot pie. There were two pies on the menu. The Phillip's original and Dottie's which I was told was the same thing but with chicken and vegetables, so I ordered that one. Then waited 45 minutes for it to come out. I was so disappointed. The pie was so small, cracked open, dry as a bone and two of the chicken pieces were quite nasty. My friend's pot pie was not even completely cooked. It was not hot and neither were the potatoes which had a beef gravy on them instead of pot pie gravy and grilled califlower which had random pieces of cheese melted on them. The portion was so small, cold and ridiculously disappointing. I was so sad. It ruined my day.
The donuts were okay. My friend had the powdered one, very fresh and soft. I had the cinnamon, a lot more crunch and not so soft. I heard the guy that always made them is still making them.
Di Nova's grocery store in Middlebury, CT make their own and freeze them. They are the BEST! I always buy a couple and bring back to Baltimore in the winter.
I must say the Pot Pies at Big Y are really good. They are loaded with good roasted chicken, a good gravy and I think a few veggies...Big Y has very good rottiserie chickens that they use for the pies....

At Webster Golf Club, not one but two 18-hole championship courses invite golfers to frolic among their twining streams, sandy bunkers, and devious doglegs. The par-72 east course, designed by James Harrison and Ferdinand Garbin, has welcomed cleated feet for more than half a century. Water impediments guard the putting greens on six of its fairways, including the fourth hole, where golfers must set model ships afloat to ferry their orbs across the stream that bars the way to the green. Small, fast greens and an emphasis on iron play challenge golfers as they swing their way through the course. The east course's younger sibling, built in 1973, is the par-70 west course, where strategically rooted trees spread their leaves to block second shots.
Players looking to hone their skills head over to the Webster Range and Learning Center, which stretches out over 17 acres. The lighted center combines a 4-acre, all-grass tee, a 2,500-square-foot putting green, two practice traps, and four target greens. One hundred hitting stations at the driving range ensure that entire musical casts can bond together while whacking spheres.
East Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par-72 course
Length of 7,100 yards from the farthest set of tees
Course rating of 71.2 from the farthest set of tees
Slope rating of 121 from the farthest set of tees
Four sets of tees
West Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par-70 course
Length of 6,003 yards from the farthest set of tees
Course rating of 66.6 from the farthest set of tees
Slope rating of 106 from the farthest set of tees
After years of watching their youngsters climb furniture and scamper across front yards, moms Andrea and Danielle were struck by inspiration. They decided to design a safe play place where lively whippersnappers could frolic freely and parents could relax without worrying about sidewalk-scraped knees, broken lamps, or child-snatching birds of prey. Thus, Jungle Jolt?an indoor playground?was born.
The Jungle Jolt facility, described as a place with "an unusually serene atmosphere" that's "squeaky clean" by reporters from Kids Out and About, abounds with child-centric activities. There's a colorful, padded climbing structure with twisting slides and sturdy cargo nets, as well as a fenced-off racetrack rink bustling with tricycles and scooters. There's also an innovative virtual indoor playground that projects graphics, sounds, and interactive games, and a laser maze.
As youngsters cruise around on toy cars and play basketball in the sport court, parents relax in the Jungle Cafe?an onsite snack bar with coffee and kid-friendly snacks. And no matter where they are in the facility, they can take advantage of the free WiFi.
Since its 1965 founding in Venice Beach, California, Gold's Gym has dotted the globe with more than 600 locations where professional athletes and exercise newbies gather under the umbrella of personal strength. Nearly 3.5 million Gold's Gym members chart and aim for their fitness peaks, perspiring beneath the gaze of certified personal trainers or pedaling beside peers at cycling sessions. In a diverse lineup of group classes, patrons strengthen cores with Pilates, finger-paint pictures of ninjas in martial arts, and amp up heart rates along to the pulsating soundtracks of Les Mills routines.
Many Gold's Gym locations stockpile futuristic amenities, such as cardio machines with individual iPod docks and televisions that help keep patrons motivated.
The Comedy Club sticks to the basics: nationally known acts; booze, burgers, fried foods; one microphone; and a brick wall. Renowned standups Jim Norton, Tom Green, Orlando Jones, and the late Patrice O'Neal have all graced the stage, and regularly scheduled Open Mic nights fuel an eternal search for undiscovered talent. The club proves its commitment to local humorists in its annual Funniest Person in Rochester Contest, semester-long classes on standup comedy, and always remembering their birthdays.
Inspired by their three children, Lisa and Andy Curwin decided to create a youth center that would offer kids entertainment and education under the same roof. An elevated climbing structure dominates the multihued, easy-to-monitor space that eventually sprang from the Curwins' collective imagination. All its slides lead to the center of the building, allowing parents to keep an eye on multiple children while sitting at brightly colored tables and getting pinkies in shape for upcoming tea parties. The room is packed with plenty of other play-ready games and equipment—bounce houses where youngsters can burn off energy and break through the space-time continuum; skee-ball and basketball stations that boost hand-eye coordination and churn out redeemable prize tickets; and skate and tricycle rinks where tykes can establish new recess allegiances. Kango reinforces its play center with a full-service academy that provides programs for young children from infants to kindergartners and ensures visitors stay properly fueled and hydrated by stocking a snack bar with burgers, fries, fruit, and sweets.
Helmed by two professional dancers and a martial artist with a second-degree black belt in karate, the certified instructors at Bounce Aerobics strive to infuse each of their classes with a party-like atmosphere. They lead guests of all ages and abilities through high-energy moves in a variety of weight-lifting- and dance-based fitness classes. When they're not disguising aerobic exercises as easy-to-follow dance moves in hip-hop, Zumba, and dance fitness classes, they slow the pace down in body-and-spirit rejuvenating yoga and Pilates classes.
Their studio encompasses an urban atmosphere reminiscent of Manhattan's downtown feel. This loft-like space is outfitted with brick walls, faux streetlights, and a lifelike subway car, as well as a full-length mirror to confirm that the instructor is not actually King Kong. In the onsite boutique, friendly staff members help shoppers pick out exercise gear and gym bags from Zumba, Turbo, and Bounce Aerobics' own line.

China imports,
Operation Green Fence,
Nathan Laliberte
NEW YORK Export prices for shredded aluminum scrap, or zorba, have weakened over the past month as exporters have attempted to elevate metallic minimums to meet Chinas stepped-up standards for solid waste imports (amm.com, May 16).
Picked-up prices for 90-percent metallic units with 3-percent red metal hovered around 72 to 73 cents per pound, down 1 to 2 cents from a month earlier, exporters said.
"China is not aggressively buying zorba like they used to," one exporter told AMM. "I think Chinese consumers are being very tentative, which is keeping a lot of material stateside. At the same time, some of the domestic media (separation) plants do not have a huge appetite for zorba. Basically, the overall tempo has subsided a little bit."
Others said that demand from China is still robust, especially for higher-grade material.
"My buyers are always buyingthey need the material," a second exporter said. "I think that demand for the higher grades of zorba is stronger than its ever been. When people say that Chinese consumers are not being aggressive, its because buyers no longer want marginal grades of zorba."
Most exporters said that picked-up prices for higher grades of zorba, in the 94- to 95-percent metallic range with 3-percent red metal, were in a range of 74 to 76 cents per pound.
"Prior to shipment, we are processing our zorba multiple times, which obviously takes more time and costs more money," a third exporter said, adding that raising the metallic content of the material was the best way to ensure that loads wouldnt get rejected at ports.
"Putting an additional cost on zorba is certainly not ideal, especially when the shredding business as a whole has been struggling as of late, but its what we have to do to get the material out of the country," the third exporter said.
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.
Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
We actually don't know who his investors are. At the point when we are ready, we will investigate further. There are just so many things to handle and there are a lot of items to be considered with the project."

Posted Thursday, April 11, 2013 --- 11:30 a.m.
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Authorities say at least two people are dead after a chartered bus overturned on a North Texas highway.
Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Lonny Haschel says the bus was on its way to a casino when it slid off the busy highway Thursday morning in Irving, just east of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
He says two people were killed and several others are injured.
The bus belongs to Cardinal Coach Line. A man who answered the phone at the company confirmed the bus' ownership but declined further comment.
The bus tipped on its side in the center median along State Highway 161. Emergency workers were using emergency exits on top of the bus to get to passengers.
