Floor Polisher Parts
If you have wooden floors then it is mandatory that you invest in a good floor polisher. Though the wooden floors give the rooms a warm and golden tone, taking care of them can be tricky if you're not very careful. Wooden floors can be easily scratched, excess moisture and chemicals can damage the wood. Here we look at how to use a floor polisher on a wooden floor.
How to use Floor Polisher on Wooden Floors
•Clean the floor with a soft brushed broom or a vacuum cleaner before using the floor polisher.
•Ensure that the pad of the floor polisher is clean and sparkling. Buff the floor with the pad from one corner to another until the entire room is covered.
•You can either use a floor wax or make a all natural floor polish at home. In a double boiler heat 2 cups of mineral oil and 1 tbsp beeswax. Once they are melted drizzle the mixture evenly over the floor.
•Slide a new pad into the floor polisher. Slowly move the floor polisher from the back of the room to the front in gentle motions. The slow and gentle motion of the floor polisher over the polish will bring a glow and sparkle to the floor.

Here's a couple of things I've noticed over the past few days that it may pay to be aware of.
1. DisableEventHandlers property not available on eventhandler containers
I have generally assumed up until recently that eventhandlers do not actually throw events themselves. Theoretically if they did you could enter an infinate loop of eventhandler executions.
Well it turns out my assumption was wrong and eventhandlers actually DO throw events of their own. However, these thrown events are only caught and handled by eventhandlers in a parent package (if one exists).
Why is this important? Well simply that it doesn't make sense for eventhandlers to throw events of their own. Eventhandlers are there to catch events, not do regular processing like in the control-flow which is from where you DO want to capture events. Unfortunately the eventhandler container does not make the DisableEventHandlers property visible so you cannot stop an eventhandler from throwing events and having them handled in a parent package.
Is not a bug as such but its annoying and wold be easily fixed by allowing us to modify DisableEventHandlers property!
The only workaround I have found is to prefix each object in an eventhandler (e.g. with "__") and in the eventhandler in the parent package employ a filter to make sure that events thrown by objects wth this prefix are not actioned.
There's a bit more info here: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=102957
2. Cannot create identically named variables with differing scope
By rights it should be possible to create identically named variables as long as they are scoped to different containers. And it is, with one caveat - they must be members of the "User" namespace. If you try and create identically named variables in a different namespace the SSIS Designer will complain at you.
This is most definately a bug!

Many aspects of environmental and energy policy divide the authors of this column. But we join together to urge the Arizona Corporation Commission not to squelch an innovative approach to solar energy that benefits private and public entities alike.
At issue are solar-service agreements, in which solar companies install and maintain solar panels on schools and other tax-exempt organizations for free. The schools receive power for a low monthly fee over an extended period of time. The solar companies collect renewable-energy tax credits for which tax-exempt entities are not eligible.
Such solar-service agreements are a reality with unlimited potential in Arizona--but only if the commission decides in the coming days not to treat the solar companies as public utilities and subject them to costly and burdensome regulation. The likely effect would be to send the firms packing to other states that do not regulate them like utilities.
Solar companies are not utilities. They are not producing energy; rather, they are facilitators that enable private entities to generate their own energy. They assist entities that could not afford to construct solar facilities and that are unable to access the tax credits that otherwise could make such facilities economically feasible.
Schools across the state, which are copious consumers of energy, are anxious to reap the benefits of solar service agreements. The escalating and constantly gyrating costs of energy can play havoc with a school district's budget.
The commission's decision comes down to either expanding its power or accomplishing its renewable energy mission. In this instance, it can best achieve its mission by recognizing that these solar firms should not be treated as utilities.
Clint Bolick is director of the Goldwater Institute Scharf-Norton Center for Constitutional Litigation. Sandy Bahr is chapter director for the Sierra Club's Grand Canyon Chapter. A longer version of this email ran in the Arizona Republic.

Moving the Mail: Horses to Horsepower
"I venture the opinion that no feature of postal or engineering work has undergone such a fundamental change and with such beneficial results to those services …as the method of dealing with the various activities of the Post Office. Motor transport is the agent which has made such changes possible."
Captain A. Hudson, Chief Motor Transport Officer
Post Office Green Paper number 28, 1936
Moving the Mail examines the move from horses to horsepower in the vehicles used by the Post Office. It is based on research done for an exhibition at Coventry Transport Museum between August and October 2006. The exhibition has since gone on tour. You can see the rest of our vehicle collection at our Museum Store on special tours throughout the year.
Over 100 years of transport operations have provided lessons on what does and doesn't work.

Title: Persistent burnout theory of chronic fatigue syndrome
Author: David Jameson
Email: davidj at mind-body-health dot net
Copyright (c) 2004 David Jameson.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis or ME) is a severe illness of unknown etiology that has numerous physical, neurological, physiological and psychiatric symptoms. Many theories have been put forward to explain the illness, but none has been universally agreed on. This is mainly due to a failure of existing theories to explain all aspects of the illness, and the confusing array of symptoms and abnormal findings associated with the illness, many of which are only seen in a subset of patients.
Certain findings, however, do seem to be central to the illness:
Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis disturbances, including a central under-activation of the HPA axis and a loss of circadian rhythm.
Abnormalities in the physical structure and activation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC).
Psychosocial treatments, the placebo effect, and rehabilitation programmes have been shown to be effective in curing the illness.
Taken together, these findings point to a possible etiology of the illness. It is known that the PFC is an important modulator of the HPA axis. The PFC is also the main brain region involved in the placebo effect and has functions relating to long-term goals and motivation.
This hypothesis suggests that CFS is a functional illness caused by structural changes in the PFC due to long-term morbid stress (or burnout), reinforced by the illness itself, which can be reversed by psycho-social rehabilitation treatments.
An outline of an experiment is presented to examine the correlation between CFS symptoms, prefrontal cortex activity and morphology, and HPA axis state for patients at different stages of treatment.
MeSH Keywords: "Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic", "Burnout, Professional", "Stress", "Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal System", "Placebo Effect", "Prefrontal Cortex".
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS, also known as ME) is a severe illness of unknown etiology that has numerous physical, physiological and psychiatric symptoms. Common triggers for the illness include viral infections – and herpesvirus family infections in particular – as well as stress (1,2).
Different studies give widely varying values for the incidence of the illness, but the general consensus is that it affects between 100 and 300 people per 100,000 population (3). This suggests that CFS is as prevalent as conditions such as autism, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease, yet the research funding for CFS is much lower than for any of these other conditions (4).
The main hypotheses which attempt to explain CFS are: [1] the cognitive behavioural theory, which proposes that CFS is due to abnormal illness beliefs (5); and [2] various viral theories, which propose that CFS is caused by a persistent but as-yet unidentified viral infection. These two theories also represent the differing viewpoints about the illness: namely, whether it is psychiatric or organic in origin.
The problem with [1] is that it does not adequately explain the physical and physiological symptoms of the illness, such as abnormal immune and HPA axis function.
With [2], the problem is that no single virus has been shown to infect all CFS patients. It is more likely that the persistent herpesvirus and other infections seen in CFS patients are simply a symptom of the suppressed immune function seen in CFS, rather than being the cause of CFS itself. Also, the viral theories do not adequately explain why personality and mental attitude have been shown to be important in determining which patients contract CFS and which recover the most quickly, and why stress is a significant trigger in initiating the illness (2,6,7,8).
Psychosocial treatments do result in recovery from CFS (8,9,10), but the nature of the treatment itself is important. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been shown by some studies to be effective and by others to be ineffective, and this has been taken by some researchers as evidence that psychosocial treatments in general do not work for CFS (11). However, it should be borne in mind that the patient's motivation and belief in the treatment are likely to be important to recovery, and the fact that many CFS patients have a lack of confidence and motivation in CBT probably has a lot to do with CBT's lack of effectiveness (12).
The HPA axis controls the release of cortisol from the outer cortex of the adrenal glands, via the hypothalamus and the pituitary. Plasma cortisol levels follow a circadian pattern, with high levels in the morning and lower levels in the evening. Under conditions of stress the activation of the HPA axis increases, resulting in a higher cortisol peak.
CFS patients tend to have a reduced HPA axis response to stress (13), a less pronounced circadian activation pattern of the HPA axis (14), an overall lower HPA axis activation (15), and a subset of patients have significantly low cortisol and shrunken adrenal glands (15,16). Research shows that the patients who recover most tend to be those who show the greatest improvement in circadian HPA axis activation (14).
The HPA axis is commonly thought of as the body's response to stress, but research over recent years has shown that it is more accurate to think of it as the body's energy expenditure regulator. As well as being involved in the stress response, the HPA axis also plays a central role in many normal non-stress functions such as digestion and the activation of the immune system and the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
The prefrontal cortex is the most evolved part of the brain, and is involved (among other tasks) in goal-directed activity, long-term planning and motivation. The prefrontal cortex is also known to be an important modulator of the HPA axis and is thought to be central to depression – a common CFS symptom – due to its regulation of neurotransmitters such as serotonin.
Studies have shown that CFS patients have reduced grey matter and an abnormal distribution of acetyl-L-carnitine in the bilateral prefrontal cortex (17,18).
A quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) study of depressed patients has shown that those patients who respond to a placebo treatment show a significant increase in prefrontal activity, with no significant change in any other brain region (19).
Burnout is a syndrome characterised by symptoms such as fatigue, depression, anxiety, headaches, disturbed sleep and susceptibility to illness. Research has shown that a physiological indicator of burnout is reduced HPA axis function and consequent low plasma cortisol (20,21). As both burnout and CFS show the same symptoms and physiological profile, as well as the same psychosocial causes, it is likely that they are in fact the same state, and that CFS is simply a more severe form of burnout.
While the various symptoms and triggers of CFS may appear confusing, the reports of patients who have recovered from the illness all share a common factor. Whether the patient recovers due to an alternative therapy, a change in lifestyle, or due to the placebo effect, in each case the common factor is the motivation and focus provided by treatment.
The most effective treatments appear to be rehabilitation programmes which fit in with the patient's mindset and which encourage the patient to re-integrate back into normal life while reducing negative stressors and increasing motivating, enjoyable activities. Anti-depressants can also be useful, especially where depression and anxiety are present.
CFS shares many features with burnout: the symptoms are identical except in severity, the triggers are the same, and the same abnormalities in HPA axis function are observed in both. The main reason why burnout has not been considered as a cause of CFS is twofold: [1] the incorrect notion that burnout is a purely psychological state of not enjoying one's job; and [2] the fact that CFS persists even in the absence of stress, when the popular misconception is that burnout equates to excessive stress.
I postulate that CFS is caused by a persistent, chronic functional suppression of the HPA axis, which is essentially the same state as "burnout". This burnout persists long after the triggering HPA axis stressors have been removed, due to factors such as negative mental attitude and loss of motivation and perceived goals, either due to the illness itself or due to other factors.
The prefrontal cortex is likely to be central to the etiology of CFS, as it has been shown to be abnormal in CFS patients. Also, its function as a modulator of the HPA axis and its control over serotonin would explain most, if not all, of the physiological and psychiatric symptoms of CFS. The prefrontal cortex is also the area of the brain involved in the placebo effect, which is relevant because many reports of recovery from CFS involve treatments that are essentially placebos (homeopathy, kinesiology, anti-candida diets, etc.)
The prefrontal cortex may have a stress protection function, reducing HPA axis activation and serotonin production during periods of long-term morbid stress. This results in burnout and depression (or to put it another way, a reduction in both physical and mental energy and motivation), aiming to force the person to change the situation. If the situation is not changed, or if the burnout itself becomes a negative stressor, then the burnout will persist and lead to CFS.
In order to further elucidate the etiology of CFS, an experiment is proposed which will investigate the correlation of prefrontal cortex activity and morphology, HPA axis function, symptoms and treatment. Such an experiment would give us a clearer understanding of the nature of CFS, bridging the gap between the physical and psychiatric debate about the illness.
The participants would be divided into three groups: [1] a control group of non-patients; [2] a control group of CFS patients receiving no treatment; and [3] a group of CFS patients undergoing a rehabilitation programme.
If funding permits, the following extra groups could be added:
· A placebo group of CFS patients receiving a sham drug treatment.
· An active treatment group of CFS patients receiving an antidepressant medication.
· A group of CFS patients receiving homeopathy treatment.
· A group of patients suffering from burnout syndrome, for comparison with CFS.
Prior to the experiment, participants would be assessed by the Maslach Burnout Inventory to determine the degree to which the psychological burnout factors are present.
The participants would be monitored for brain activation (using either QEEG cordance or MRI scans), brain morphology (using voxel based MRI) and HPA axis activation (measuring cortisol after awakening and circadian variation in cortisol). At various stages of the experiment the patients would be assessed on visual analogue scales to determine subjective recovery from CFS symptoms, with follow-ups afterwards.
If the predictions of this theory are correct then patients receiving all treatments should show changes in the prefrontal cortex and in HPA axis function. Those patients on the rehabilitation programme should show the most significant improvement in symptoms as well as changes in prefrontal cortex and HPA axis activity, and this improvement is more likely to be permanent that in the placebo group. CFS symptoms are likely to be correlated with the state of the prefrontal cortex and HPA axis.

More Tribes Ban Uranium Mining On Lands In Arizona
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) ¿ The Hualapai Tribe has renewed a ban on uranium mining on its land near the Grand Canyon, joining other American Indian tribes in opposing what they see as a threat to their environment and their culture.
The tribal ban adds to a temporary mining ban on nearly 1 million federally owned acres around the Grand Canyon. The combined actions mean uranium-bearing lands in northern Arizona open to companies hungry to resume mining are growing scarce.
Much of the uranium in Arizona is in the northwest corner of the state with other deposits on the Navajo Nation and other tribal lands. The high-grade ore used in nuclear energy and for medicine is especially attractive at a time when prices for uranium have risen.But members of northern Arizona tribes say it's not worth putting their health, water and land at risk, particularly when contamination from past uranium mining operations hasn't been fully addressed. "Contamination emanates from mining, does not know any boundaries and it could easily cross community after community without them ever knowing," said Robert Tohe, a member of the Navajo Nation, which banned uranium on its 27,000 square-mile reservation that spans three states in 2005. "I think that's the real danger, and that's why tribes have become unified."

Coral snakes are found in tropical regions of North
America and are often confused with nonpoisonous (nonvenomous) milk snakes because they look
A coral snake can be up to 3 ft (1 m) long and has:
At first, mild pain may be the only symptom of a coral snake bite. Within 90 minutes, a feeling of weakness or numbness may
occur in the bitten extremity.
Other symptoms may appear up to
12 to 24 hours after a bite. Symptoms may include:
Symptoms that occur less often include double
vision, trouble breathing, sweating, muscle aches, and
confusion. In rare cases, a person may die from a coral snake
If you think you have been bitten by a coral snake, call 911 or other emergency services immediately.

Looking forward to a great weekend

The weather here is going to be in the low to mid 70's, I smoked a whole Boston Butt pork roast, and because my DH has a volleyball tourney all day tomorrow (he is a referee), I am taking my roast and heading to DD's house tomorrow morning. I might even stay all night. Both my grandgirls are already begging for me to. I stayed all night with them last Saturday night so I think the girls are expecting it now. Then next weekend we are heading to an amusement park next Saturday. My son in law's employer has discounted tickets for their employees and family. His company will also feed us lunch too. This is a once a year thing with them and we have a ball.
Have a great weekend everybody, Judy

Wow! What a wonderful weekend ahead. I get to crawl out of bed early tomorrow and tag along with dh to a Kmart Hot Wheels Collector Day even. Whoopee. It only comes around twice a year, but it's his hobby...not mine. Ah well, maybe I'll get breakfast out of it.
Have a fantastic weekend!!

10-22-10 901 East Sibley Blvd. South Holland, illinois. Mary Mitchell Story about Dr. Kara Davis, internist at the Christian Community Health Center with her now book called Spirtual Secrets. Photo by Scott Stewart/Sun-Times
Updated: March 2, 2013 6:24AM
I watched intently as the cardiologist drew a picture of my mother's heart.
"Here is where the opening has gotten smaller, causing the heart to work harder," she said. "And here, these are the valves that are leaking."
I know the chances that my frail, 85-year-old mother will recover are pretty slim.
I also know I am likely looking at my future. My father died of congestive heart failure at age 80.
Although cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States, I knew little about how to protect myself from this disease.
I'm not alone.
"Heart disease is largely preventable but it remains the No. 1 cause of death in the U.S. and the No. 1 cause of death in women," noted Dr. Kara Davis, the author of "Spiritual Secrets to a Healthy Heart," which will be in book stores Feb. 5 but is available now at Amazon.com.
I'm an avid fan of Davis' work because she has boldly incorporated her Christian beliefs into her calling to heal the sick.
In the introduction to her book, she quotes a powerful proverb: "My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body. Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Proverbs 4:20-23.
"When we think of heart disease, we think of high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking. But we might not be aware of how our emotional, mental and spiritual health impacts our heart," Davis told me in an interview.
My father, who struggled to keep his weight down, had Type 2 diabetes. My mother has always been thin as a reed but is a notorious worrier.
I could see my father's looming battle with heart disease but never considered my mother's risk.
In her book, Davis breaks down the subject of heart disease into three parts: "How We Live; How We Feel; How It Is."
"How We Live" deals with the traditional things that we think about: nutrition, sodium and high blood pressure, cholesterol, carbohydrates, smoking and alcohol. "How We Feel" deals with depression, anger, stress and a negative attitude. "How It Is" focuses on cardiac risk factors, the environment, medications and heart procedures.
The release of the book is especially timely.
"Heart Disease Month and Black History Month are both in February, which is ironic because African Americans have more heart disease and more of the risk factors for heart disease and diabetes," she said.
Davis spends considerable time on the role stress plays in heart disease.
Stress makes us eat obsessively. "When we are under stress we crave food that is high in salt, high in sugar or high in fat," she said.
The first thing my mother's cardiologist told us was that we would have to clear my mother's refrigerator and pantry of processed foods that contain high levels of sodium.
"Salt has long been known to be a major dietary culprit in hypertension. [T]he lifestyle variable with the greatest influence on blood pressure by far is related to how much sodium and potassium is in our diets," according to Davis.
Of course, these are things I wish I had known before developing the bad habits that are bound to catch up to me down the road.
Still, I welcome this powerful tool.
It's not too late for my children to teach their own children how to guard their hearts.
I will be conducting a Q&A with the author on from 1 to 4 p.m. Feb. 2 in the Celebration Room at the Ray and Joan Kroc Center, 1250 W. 119th St., Chicago. All are welcome.

Callaway Diablo Kick-Back Putting Cup Gift Set 6 6
Great way to beat winter blues! This is a great way to keep your putting skills in shape during the bleak winter months when we can't get to the golf course. My husband and I have putting competitions using the putting cup as well--makes the practice more interesting! December 15, 2014
good price , battery operated I bought this product and i am very happy with it so far. it is battery operated which came as a surprise since it said nothing on the packaging about needing batteries or what size batteries it needed, all in all though i like that it is battery operated so i dont have to worry about cords and plugging it in, i can use it wherever i want. October 15, 2013
Great for a rainy day! Great for a rainy day. This putting aid is great for all lengths. It teaches you not to baby your putts. NEVER UP NEVER IN! September 24, 2013
Good product pretty good product so far. Only downside in my opinion is the "C" batteries. Ain't nobody got time for that September 5, 2013
Great Value I buy this type of item every year to give as a prize for the Albany-Colonie Chamber of Commerce Business council of Cohoes "SWING & A MISS" Fun golf outing. In previous years I bought from a Golf Pro shop. This year I bought at Dick's Sporting Goods and was pleasantly surprised at the selection. This putt return cup also came with 2 Callaway Warbird golf balls (the ones I bought at the pro shop did not have any golf balls included). The best part is that the price at Dick's was the same as I paid last year at the pro shop and I got the 2 golf balls "FREE". June 18, 2013
Broken I opened the box place the batteries and didn�t work. I had to open it by the screws, see the mechanism, test the currents and fix the motor, after that it started to work. November 15, 2012

Ext Designer export
Ext Designer export
Imagine a window with a grid that uses a store.
When I use Ext Designer to draw it, six files are created in the same directory of the *. xds.
Question number one. What to do with the files "xds_" that does not interest me?
Well, in my project I use a folder called "js" for all *. js. So the best practice would be:
1. Save my files "*. xds" in the folder js (But just mix the files "xds_", which I do not need because the structure of the project is already done. But I would not have a folder containing just files of type js) = (
2. Save my files in another location and keep copying them every time I re-export them (very annoying too).
Question number 2. includeOrder and how to pass parameters to the main window of the store to load the grid properly.
The file "xds_includeorder" says to include the files in the following order:
<script type="text/javascript" src="Department.ui.js"> </ script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Department.js"> </ script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="storeDepartments.js"> </ script>
I can just change the file "Department.js," how could I change it to receive some parameter and pass it to the store?
I already tried to add a constructor but it did not work, returns the following error: h.directCfg is undefined.
The original code:
PHP Code:
Department = Ext.extend(DepartmentUi, {
initComponent: function() {
PHP Code:
Department = Ext.extend(DepartmentUi, {
constructor: function(cfg) {
cfg = cfg || {};
//or something as this.keytoloadthestore = cfg.keytoloadthestore
Department.superclass.constructor.call(this, Ext.apply(this, cfg));
initComponent: function() {
//then something as this.items.itemAt(0).store.reload({paramns: {'keytoload': this.keytoloadthestore}})
I'm learning it and writing a new post on my blog to teach others the best way to use Ext Designer to gain produtivity.
Thanks! =]
30 May 2010 6:26 PM #2
Got the answer to the question number 2 here:
(That was right, i guess the error was ONLY on Ext Designer Export) []
I still need know about the xds_* files, about the question number one..

If you use Linux or OS X, you can simply make a symbolic link to your exported js files in your js folder. If you use Windows...well...shame on you :-) In that case I would simply reference your exported files directly (putting them anywhere) until they are deemed "finished" and then you can move the finalized js files to your js folder. I would do whatever you need to do to avoid copying files on every export. Symbolic Links are the easiest thing that comes to mind, but if you don't have the ability to do that, then just have a split dev/prod environment and reference your xds exported files directly. Whatever it takes to avoid making a mountain out of a mole hill...

In the future we'll think about the life cycle in which the Designer is used typically. I understand that it's perfect for full-out design->export->use situation, but when you do a lot of design revisions its export model becomes a little clumsy. It's nothing that 30 seconds of "elbow grease" won't solve (whether that's copying/pasting files or code, or what have you), but I totally get wanting to make the export pretty seamless and to "fit in" to a project the way you'd like. So again, we'll think this through for future growth of the product.

Secrets of the Taj Mahal
It is considered a wonder of the world, and one of the most popular tourist attractions on Earth, but few realize that the Taj Mahal was built as a monument to eternal love. This is the story of Shah Jahan, ruler of India's mighty Mogul Empire, and his queen, Mumtaz Mahal, and of a love too perfect to survive. The Queen's tragic death moved Jahan to construct a shrine worthy of her name, but with this iconic structure, he would ultimately pay a terrible price to complete his life's work.
Secrets of the Taj Mahal: Sneak Peek
Before it became one of the world's greatest tourist attractions, the Taj Mahal was a shrine to a lost love.

Anonymous generous souls
A guy with a very stylish motorcycle was standing by to board the ferry today. I got talking about the bike, and he explained that Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, has a brother-in-law who customized the bike; this thing was amazing. It had a Harley-Davidson engine and other components, which were adapted to the custom frame. Here's the kicker, the guy won this $45.000 machine.
After golfing one day, his wife told him about this raffle for the bike. There would be 500 tickets at 100 bucks a pop. The guy, I'll call Bill, was reluctant because he has 3 other bikes. "But it's for wounded Vets," she said. So Bill ponied up the 100 for the ticket, for which he deemed a worthy cause. I sensed this was a generous guy.
So he gets a call a week later by some guy asking if his name is Bill, and if he'd bought a raffle ticket for a motorcycle. Bill thought the guy was busting his chops that early in the morning. He hung up. The guy calls again, and verifies that he is the winner. Bill is now really protesting and thinking that this is a joke. Suddenly, he hears the roar of the crowd through his phone saying he won the bike.(Bill's incredulous conversation was broadcast to the thousand participants getting ready for the Veteran's Bike Run.) Bill gracefully accepted the bike. He showed me the wounded soldiers painted on the front and rear fenders. Furthermore, Steven Tyler signed the back fender of the bike. This man was proud to be a part of this charity.
Ten feet away from Bill, another guy was backing onto the ferry, and he had a hat on that said he was a Corpsman in 1966, serving in Vietnam. We talked briefly about James Bradley, the Corpsman who served on Iwo Jima (see "Flags of our Fathers"). I told this guy that my uncle was a Corpsman in the European theater, and recieved a Purple Heart for helping wounded men on the battlefield; he never told us of his battfield work. He was just our uncle, who was a great, kind doctor. After he died my dad told me about the medals, and that he got shot at alot while tending to his men. My uncle was also a generous man. In less than fifteen minutes of helping load the ferry, I was made aware of how people show their generousity, and I felt good about that; it actually made my day.

Manny Ramirez released by Rangers
The Texas Rangers made a big move earlier in the week when they acquired Alex Rios to take the place of the suspended Nelson Cruz. By making that move it was pretty clear Manny Ramirez was not in their plans for this season, and the Rangers have now officially released him from his minor league contract.
Ramirez started off this season playing in Taiwan, and then came back to the United States where the Texas Rangers signed him to a minor league deal. This is the second straight season that Ramirez has been signed to a minor league contract, last year it was the Oakland Athletics that gave him a short shot.
In his whole tenure with the Rangers, Ramirez stayed at triple-A Round Rock where he hit .259 with three home runs, according to the Los Angeles Times.
As for the reason for Ramirez's release, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said that it was done so Ramirez could pursue other opportunities if he chooses reports ABC News. Also Daniels said that the Rangers didn't have a roster spot available for Ramirez. After the acquisition of Rios, especially considering Lance Berkman is entrenched as the teams designated hitter, the lineup is pretty set. They have trouble finding regular playing time for top prospect Jurickson Profar.
This could mark the end of Ramirez's career. He is now 41 years old, and cannot surface with a Major League team. If this is the end, it was an interesting career that featured 555 home runs – which is 14th all time – and two suspensions for using performance enhancing drugs. Ramirez's numbers are Hall of Fame worthy but odds are he will never make it in based on his past with PED's.

|Does anyone have a source for Sapphireberry (Symplocos paniculata)? So far, I have only found a seed source on ebay.
Follow-Up Postings:
|I have grown it from seed sown in the Autumn and left in a pot outside over the winter. It germinated 2 springs later and that was with very fresh seed I gathered myself. There's no guarantee how fresh eBay seed will be.

|Hi brandon,
I contacted Whitman Farms the other day but they no longer grow sapphireberry. Here is my correspondence with them.
...........thanks anyway........Ron
Hi, Ron, I used to grow Symplocos, but it was a bear to keep alive in a pot, but let me tell you how to get it going: first get the seed from someplace like Sheffield seed company; you can buy small packets for a very reasonable price. The seeds germinate easily so plant them where you want your eventual tree. This of course is the tricky part because mice will eat the seed if it's not protected and you need to plant in clean soil so that you can tell what comes up is not just weeds. This way you will avoid the transplant trap and the pot problem. Good luck.

|Contact the Polly Hill Arboretum, and see if they'll part with any of the copious seedlings that they term noxious weeds. And while you are at it, they also produce zillions of Stewartia seedlings on their acid sandy soils.
It's all in your perspective...

Nanotube 'sponge' has potential in oil spill cleanupMay 11, 2012
Carbon nanotubes, which consist of atom-thick sheets of carbon rolled into cylinders, have captured scientific attention in recent decades because of their high strength, potential high conductivity and light weight. But producing nanotubes in bulk for specialized applications was often limited by difficulties in controlling the growth process as well as dispersing and sorting the produced nanotubes.
ORNL's Bobby Sumpter was part of a multi-institutional research team that set out to grow large clumps of nanotubes by selectively substituting boron atoms into the otherwise pure carbon lattice. Sumpter and Vincent Meunier, now of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, conducted simulations on supercomputers, including Jaguar at ORNL's Leadership Computing Facility, to understand how the addition of boron would affect the carbon nanotube structure.
"Any time you put a different atom inside the hexagonal carbon lattice, which is a chicken wire-like network, you disrupt that network because those atoms don't necessarily want to be part of the chicken wire structure," Sumpter said. "Boron has a different number of valence electrons, which results in curvature changes that trigger a different type of growth."
Simulations and lab experiments showed that the addition of boron atoms encouraged the formation of so-called "elbow" junctions that help the nanotubes grow into a 3-D network. The team's results are published in Nature Scientific Reports.
"Instead of a forest of straight tubes, you create an interconnected, woven sponge-like material," Sumpter said. "Because it is interconnected, it becomes three-dimensionally strong, instead of only one-dimensionally strong along the tube axis."
Further experiments showed the team's material, which is visible to the human eye, is extremely efficient at absorbing oil in contaminated seawater because it attracts oil and repels water.
"It loves carbon because it is primarily carbon," Sumpter said. "Depending on the density of oil to water content and the density of the sponge network, it will absorb up to 100 times its weight in oil."
The material's mechanical flexibility, magnetic properties, and strength lend it additional appeal as a potential technology to aid in oil spill cleanup, Sumpter says.
"You can reuse the material over and over again because it's so robust," he said. "Burning it does not substantially decrease its ability to absorb oil, and squeezing it like a sponge doesn't damage it either."
The material's magnetic properties, caused by the team's use of an iron catalyst during the nanotube growth process, means it can be easily controlled or removed with a magnet in an oil cleanup scenario. This ability is an improvement over existing substances used in oil removal, which are often left behind after cleanup and can degrade the environment.
The experimental team has submitted a patent application on the technology through Rice University. The research is published as "Covalently bonded three-dimensional carbon nanotube solids via boron induced nanojunctions," and is available online here: http://www.nature.com/srep/2012/120413/srep00363/full/srep00363.html.
The research team included researchers from ORNL, Rice University; Universidade de Vigo, Spain; Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Instituto de Microelectronica de Madrid, Spain; Air Force Office of Scientific Research Laboratory; Arizona State University; Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium; The Pennsylvania State University; and Shinshu University, Japan.
The work was supported by the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, and by the DOE Office of Science through ORNL's Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) and the laboratory's Leadership Computing Facility.

THE THRESHERS (2-4, 3.0 GB) … Clearwater dropped two out of three to Dunedin to start the season and is coming off two straight losses to Tampa after downing the Yankees in the series opener. Each of the last two games were of the one-run variety, including a 2-1 loss in 12 innings last night at home on Wednesday. The Threshers are sixth in the FSL with a .259 team batting average and 8th in the league with a 3.57 staff ERA. Cameron Rupo leads the Threshers with a .357 average while Cody Asche and Kyle Lafrenze both are hitting .300
4/12 – Kevin Eichhorn (0-0, 0.00) … making his second start … allowed just one unearned run on six hits over 6.0 innings in first outing vs. Tampa on Apr. 6, but did not factor into the decision … struck out four and walked one.
4/13 – Brian Flynn (1-0, 0.00) … making his second start … tossed 6.2 shutout innings in first start vs. Tampa on April 7 … held Yankees to four hits while striking out three and walking none.
4/14 – Mark Sorensen (0-0, 1.29) … making his second start … worked longest outing for any Lakeland pitcher this season in first start vs. Brevard County on Apr. 9, going 7.0 innings … allowed one run on two hits while striking out two and issuing zero free passes … did not factor into the decision.
THE SERIES … Tonight opens a six-game road trip for Lakeland – three in Clearwater and three at Brevard County. Game one of the Clearwater series is set for 7 pm with Friday's and Saturday's games getting underway at 6:30 p.m.
LAST SEASON … The Threshers thrashed Lakeland for 13 wins in the 18 meetings between the two clubs in 2011. Clearwater won the last five meetings and seven of the last eight match-ups.
FIRST ROUNDERS … Thresher pitcher Jesse Biddle was the Phillies' first round draft pick in 2010 out of high school while rightfielder Anthony Hewitt was Philadelphia's top pick in 2008, also out of high school
MLB REHAB … Philadelphia's Jose Contreras is currently in Clearwater on a major league rehab assignment (elbow).
HEY CUZ … Clearwater outfielder D'Arby Myers is a cousin of NBA great Shaquille O'Neal.
DO I KNOW YOU FROM SOMEWHERE? … Thresher outfielder Brandon Tripp is a former member of the Tigers' organization, having signed with Detroit as a minor league free agent in 2010. He played in the Florida State League in 2009 for Jupiter and is in his second season in Clearwater.
1-ADAM-15 … Clearwater pitcher Adam Morgan leads the FSL with 15 strikeouts.
ATOP LOOKING DOWN … Tyler Collins' hot start (12 hits in his first four games) has left him with a .542 batting average – the highest in the Florida State League. Collins also leads the league with 13 hits and 16 total bases and is second with a .393 on-base percentage. Nick Castellanos is eighth at .391 while Avisail Garcia is ninth with a .381 mark.
TORRID START … Tyler Collins knocked out three base hits in each of his first four games and was 12×17 during those games for a .706 clip. He scored five times, drove in a pair of runs, and hit three doubles in the first four games.
UNDER THE TAG … Daniel Fields and Avisail Garcia are tied for second in the league with three stolen bases.
STREAKING … Nick Castellanos and Daniel Fields have each hit safely in each of the first six games. Castellanos, batting .391, has had three games with two hits and has scored in four of six games and driven in one run in four games. With a .360 average, Fields has one game with two hits and collected three hits, including a home run and double, in last night's game. He, too, has driven in runs in four games.
NEED TIMELY ONES … Getting on base hasn't been a problem for Lakeland as the Flying Tigers have out-hit their opponents in four of their five games so far in 2012. The problem has been hitting when those runners get into scoring position. In the opening game of the Brevard series, Lakeland was 3×17 with runners on second or third base and left 13 runners stranded. The next night, the team was 4×11 with runners in scoring position (RISP) and stranded five. In the series finale, the Flying Tigers were 0x7 with eight left hanging. Overall, in the Manatee series, Lakeland was 7×35 (.200) with RISP and left 21 men on base and lost all three games. However, against Tampa, they were 7×38 (.138) with 23 LOBs and won those three games.
SWING AND A MISS … Lakeland whiffed 13 times against Brevard County on Wednesday (on the flip side, the Flying Tigers pitching also struck out 13), marking the third time this season, the team has had 12 or more strikeouts in a game.
REUNITED … Pitcher Patrick Cooper, who picked up a save against Tampa on Apr. 6 in his only appearance for Lakeland in 2012, earned a promotion to AA Erie on Wednesday. Added to the roster is Luis Sanz. Fans checking the Flying Tiger roster may say, "how can Luis Sanz be added to the roster when he's already here?" as catcher Luis Sanz started the season in Lakeland. Well, this Luis Sanz is Luis Angel Sanz, a pitcher. The established Sanz is Luis Alberto Sanz, a pitcher. The dueling Sanz's are brothers.
CLOSING IN ON 1700 … Flying Tiger manager Dave Huppert is in his second season with Lakeland and his 24th season as a minor league manager. He brings a 1,675-1,538 record into the Clearwater series.

Maddin's Winnipeg is a place where railroad tracks and icy rivers run over forked underground waterways of mystical power, and whose inhabitants are natural-born sleepwalkers. According to Maddin, who narrates, the somnambulism rate in Winnipeg is 10 times higher than any other place in the world -- just one of many interesting and highly questionable facts this "documentary" has to offer. Wandering through the city's grid of snowy backways with the keys to old haunts clutched in their hands, Maddin's sleepwalking neighbors show up on the doorsteps of places they once called home, and the current owners, Maddin claims, are required by civic law to provide at least one night's lodging for these restless past residents. But now after 50 years of living and dreaming in Winnipeg, Maddin must now wake himself and leave once and for all. The city is no longer the beloved and bizarre world of his youth, especially since the demolition of the hallowed Winnipeg Arena where Maddin's father once worked and his childhood hockey heroes chased a puck across the ice. Getting out, however, won't be so easy: Maddin is entangled in a sticky web of memories and associations, many of them spun by his powerful mother whose magnetism keeps her son rooted to the spot. To extricate himself, Maddin undertakes a bold experiment. He has sublet the house in which he spent his childhood -- a curiously constructed building that also housed his Aunt Lil's beauty salon -- from its current owner, restored the original decor and hired a group of actors to portray his siblings. His now-deceased father will be represented by a lump under the carpet while his real-life mother will appear as herself. Maddin's plan is to replay and closely observe archetypal moments from the crucial year of 1963 and, through the data he collects in a notebook, unlock the secrets of past that binds him. In addition to this recreated family romance, Maddin also treats the viewer to a farewell tour of his town and its strange history, from the construction of Happyland amusement park and the general strike that threatened the virtue of the young women of St. Mary's Academy for Girls, to the Great Elm Scandal of 1957, the gay bison stampede and the shameful "man pageants" that were held in a long-gone department store cafe and judged by the corrupt lip-smacking mayor himself.
A good tip-off that Maddin may not be telling the "truth" comes with the realization that "Mother" is in fact being played by an actress: film-noir siren Ann Savage, whose unforgettable turn as a vicious femme fatale in Edgar Ulmer's DETOUR lends the sweet, white-haired Mrs. Maddin an underlying edge of menace. So is any of it true? Does it really matter? One comes away not with an understanding of Winnipeg as a geographical location but a state of mind, a place where sleepwalkers wander and dream and never leave home because in their hearts, they never really want to. It's where artists come from, and every great city deserves its own Guy Maddin. leave a comment --Ken Fox

From the organizer:
You are invited to the exhibition "Gifted Color" in commemoration of the Late Artist-Painter NGUYEN XUAN KHANH.
In the same way the Fauves artists experimented with light and color at the beginning of this century, Khanh is looking for the optimum use of color. Khanh's paintings are not a true reproduction of the things he sees around himself. He makes a lot of sketches, but none of them we find back in his paintings.
