Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Red Deer Rebels used Wednesday's CHL's top prospect's game to showcase his skills as well as his prodigious last name. Nugent-Hopkins' slick playmaking ability could one day make him a star in the NHL, thus allowing him to do for the hyphenated name what Hnat Domenichelli once did for players whose names begin with a silent 'H'. Okay, so maybe Hnat Domenichelli's career wasn't so great – but Nugent-Hopkins could very well become the greatest player with a hyphenated last name of all-time.
The NHL has seen a many players with hyphenated names, whether the dash is between a surname or pair of first names. Naturally, we got to thinking about some of the greatest hyphenated names in the history of the NHL and figured we'd put them together in a list. For the purpose of this list we're looking exclusively at players who have played in the NHL… so you'll have to wait on seeing the greats like Casey Pierro-Zabotel and Nugent-Hopkins crack our list another day. For purposes that include volume and comedic value, we'll also include players that have a hyphenated first name.
Here we go:
10. Marc-Andre Fleury
If for no other reason than every good hockey list has to have a goalie or two in it somewhere – and because Frank Pietrangelo isn't broken up, Marc-Andre Fleury's two first names are good enough for us.
9. Oliver Ekman-Larsson
The slick Swedish defenceman gets a nod because he's one of the few that actually included his full last name on his sweater, something hyphen enthusiasts wish was far more common.
8. Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers
The only other goalie you'll find on this list. "The Drouin Wall" as we like to refer to him may not be playing in the NHL right now, but his pair of double Ds have a helluva ring to them.
7. Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' quest for the greatest hyphenated named player will likely have to go through Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson at some point. Much to our dismay, Magnus opted to include only the Paajarvi portion of his name on his sweater.
6. Pierre-Alexandr Parenteau
This is one of our favourite names of all time, especially when you consider that he formally goes by P.A. Parenteau – which sounds like a French film rating classification.
5. Ole-Kristian Tollefsen
The big Norwegian defenceman only played 163 games in the NHL, but legend has it you can spot his name from Newfoundland on a clear day.
4. Mats Zuccarello-Aasen
What's not to like about a surname that begins with a 'Z' and possesses 16 characters when you include the hyphen. Full marks to Zuccarello-Aasen for sporting his full name on his sweater.
3. Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre
This is the portion of the list where the heavy hitters come out. Double hyphen = double fun! Just look at the way that last name slides down his shoulder… that thing is bigger than Tobias Enstrom!
2. Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond
Nobody's going to poke fun at Letourneau-Leblond's epic name because if they did he'd punch their blood out.
1. Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla
We're not making this up, seriously, Google that shit.

Hello everybody,
as a TI3 hopefully future player, i'd like to solve a curiosity about main differences between the three editions of the game.
Specifically, i read the designer diary on the news section, and the designer stated out that the main difference was in the game engine (minis, and graphical differences apart).
Since i do not own, nor i ever played TI1 & I2, i was curious to know the opinion from more experienced players. I already read the TI3 rules (the downloadable pdf), but i have only a decent grasp of them (i suppose the "hands on" method is always the best).
What are your opinions?
P.S. As a side question: are all the factions/races of former editions included in TI3?

Most studies of curricular diversity have focused on the effects of participation in diversity courses on student outcomes. Though the results have been positive, these studies have used limited measures of curricular diversity and there is a great need for a complimentary body of research demonstrating what faculty and what types of courses are more likely to include diversity. This study relies on 12 diversity inclusivity items derived from a comprehensive model of how diversity is included into a course to investigate how much diversity is being included in collegiate courses and what predicts diversity inclusivity, as measured by two scales: diverse grounding and inclusive learning. The results, based on 7,101 responses from faculty participating in the 2007 Faculty Survey of Student Engagement, suggest that most faculty are including diversity in their courses in some way, but that women and faculty of color tend to include diversity to a greater extent than their colleagues. Also, courses taught in the soft fields are more likely to be inclusive of diversity.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is CeCe!
Facts about CeCe
- Breed: Boxer
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
CeCe's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
CeCe is about 5 months old. She is a female Boxer who came to the wichita animal shelter in terrible condition. She was extremely thin and as you can see had demodex mange. She is being treated for the mange (it is not contagious to people or other animals) and is gaining weight and looking much better each day. It will be awhile before she will be available for adoption, but she will make a full recovery.
Other Pets at Pals Animal Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
CeCe, a Wichita Boxer puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Wichita, or seeking a Boxer puppy from a breeder in Wichita.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wichita already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Wichita breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wichita paves the way for another one to be saved.

Dear Shareholders, The Directors have the pleasure in presenting their 65th Annual Report on the business and operations of your Company and the audited Financial Statements of your Company for the year ended 31st March, 2013 : FINANCIAL RESULTS (Rs. In Lacs ) 2012-2013 2011-2012 Total Income 10,292.89 13,754.46 Total Expenditure 10,600.52 13,603.27 Profit /(Loss) Before Tax (307.63) 151.19 Less : Provision for Current Tax ___ 65.40 Deferred Tax (Credit) (97.93) (15.48) Income Tax for Earlier Years ___ 0.99 ___ 97.93 ___ 50.91 Profit /(Loss) After Tax (209.70) 100.28 Add : Profit Brought Forward 1,134.38 1,034.10 Balance Carried to Reserves & Surplus 924.68 1,134.38 DIVIDEND The Board of Directors has not recommended payment of any Dividend for the Financial Year 2012-2013 in view of the Loss incurred by the Company in the year and its continuing trend also in the current year 2013-2014. OPERATIONAL REVIEW The Total Revenue during the year was Rs. 102.93 Crores as against Rs.137.54 Crores during the previous year, representing a downfall during the year by 25.16%, mainly due to Cable & Conductors Sales decreased from Rs. 57.32 Crores approximately in last year to Rs. 20.36 Crores approximately this year i.e. a decrease of about Rs. 37 Crores (65%).Mushroom growth and unhealthy competition from various Transformer Manufacturing Units in unorganized sector is posing problems to organized sector, like your Company, resulting in very low selling prices and your Company is not in a position to sell Transformers at such lower prices. The Loss for this year is Rs. 3.08 Crores, whereas there was Profit before Ta x of Rs. 1.51 Crores in the last year. Many factors have contributed towards such reversal of profitability, namely, lower selling prices, so also the margins, continuous abnormal price hike of major raw materials both in India and abroad, unexpected delay in payments by Electricity Boards, etc. As a result of abnormal delay in payments by the Company''s Customers and to meet the additional Working Capital requirements and maintain cash flow position of your Company arising out of such delay in payments by Customers, the Company''s borrowings have substantially increased. Increase in Finance Costs comprising of Interest Expenses and other borrowing costs by about Rs. 1.85 Crores this year compared to last year has also largely contributed towards such fall in profitability of your Company. Salkia & Dhulagori Factory The Members are aware that the Company has built up a new state of art Factory on its own land at Dhulagori in 2008 and all the production activities which were earlier carried on at its old rented Factory at Salkia have been shifted in phases from time to time during the last five years to such new Factory at Dhulagori. Side by side Dhulagori Factory has also been expanded on a continuous basis after it was set up five years ago. Now the Salkia Unit, so far being utilised mainly for repairs of Transformers after the main operations of the said Unit was shifted to Dhulagori Unit in 2008 as said above, has been closed after the close of the business on 31st March, 2013 and the Company''s entire manufacturing and repairing activities in Eastern India are being carried out in Dhulagori Unit with effect from 1st April, 2013. This has been done for better, efficient and economical management of manufacturing as well as repairing operations of the Company at one place. However, manufacturing operations at the Company''s other Factories at Jaipur and Agra are continuing as before. FUTURE OUTLOOK The Government of India''s plan of electrifying each and every village in rural areas will boost the demand of Distribution Transformers. Your Company with technical expertise and various manufacturing set-ups are trying to take share of such future growth in Power Sector in our Country. But, mushroom growth and unhealthy competition from various Transformer manufacturing Units in unorganized Sector is posing problems to organized Sector, like your Company, resulting in under utilization of production capacities and therefore, the selling prices are under pressure, so as the margins. Your Company''s Cable and Conductor Unit is now fully operational. It contributes to the Turnover of your Company. But due to lower selling prices, margin has become low and profitability in this segment has also reduced because of downfall in sales . Your Company cannot sell Cables & Conductors at such lower prices. The Production of Dry Type Transformers has stabilized and your Company is receiving regular Orders. Your Company''s Dhulagori Factory is now fully operational and is under the process of continuous expansion. Your Company is continuously exploring the possibility to develop export market. Its continued effort in this regard has been fruitful as your Company has made some exports this year. Your Company is also planning to set up Transformer Factories abroad to achieve further exports in coming years. In addition to its existing Wind Mill at Dhule, Maharashtra, your Company has also set up another Wind Mill at Barmer, Rajasthan.

I LOVE lavender! The color, the look, the smell, and yes, the taste of it. Lavender and I are "buds" (yeah, I know...sometimes I can't help myself). I also love to cook. And bake. I suppose that I should admit that there are times when there's a full-on cooking extravaganza that goes on in my kitchen involving all of my small appliances, several bowls and ingredients that need to be hauled in by truck...okay, maybe it's not THAT bad.
Lemon and Lavender Shortbread Cookies
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender blossoms, finely chopped
- 1 1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- In a medium bowl, mix the sugar with the chopped lavender and grated lemon zest. Using an electric mixer, beat in the butter at moderate speed. At low speed, beat in the flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Transfer the dough to a sheet of wax paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Form the dough into a 4-inch log and chill for at least 45 minutes longer.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Slice the dough into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and place the rounds on ungreased baking sheets. Freeze the rounds for 10 minutes until the butter chills.
- Bake the cookies for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Transfer the baked shortbread to a wire rack to cool completely.

JULIE & JONNY Come to L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Renberg Theatre, 1/19
The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center presents what could easily be the gayest night of comedy ever. One of the stars of LOGO's The Big Gay Sketch Show (Julie Goldman) teams up with the cult superstar "The Gay Pimp" (Jonny McGovern, also of The Big Gay Sketch Show) at the Center's Renberg Theatre on Friday, Jan. 19, at 8 p.m. Net proceeds will benefit the full range of the Center's free and low-cost programs and services.
The show includes solo standup sets by both comedians. Each will also perform some outrageous trademark musical numbers, and there's talk of a joint musical number to cap the evening. Both Goldman and McGovern have been hailed as leaders of the next generation of queer humor.
Julie Goldman also has three TV comedy specials under her belt, which viewers have seen on LOGO, Showtime and Comedy Central. She has appeared on Fox's Bones, RuPaul's Drag U, and NBC's The New Normal. Not only will Goldman be in an upcoming episode of ABC's Happy Endings, but she is a recurring character in LOGO's newest series, DTLA.
You can catch Goldman on the wildly ridiculous web series In Your Box Office (www.inyourboxoffice.com) with her highly inappropriate creative and writing partner, Brandy Howard. Fans are eagerly anticipating their two new Web shows with Tello Films.
Goldman is a favorite at pride celebrations, women's festivals and Olivia Travel events, as well as a headlining solo standup performer all over the country.
TV personality, nightlife superstar and standup comedian Jonny McGovern is known for his comedy music videos as his naughty-yet-gay-empowering character, "The Gay Pimp" (originally created as an answer to homophobic rap lyrics). His latest music video, the hilarious "Dickmatized," had a quarter million views in one week.
McGovern has been making hit gay videos from before the invention of YouTube, starting with the worldwide viral satirical video hit, "Soccer Practice." The video was downloaded more than 5 million times from GayPimp.com and inspired countless young gay men to be as out and proud as "The Gay Pimp" himself.

A Money-Saving Tip for Ordering at a Restaurant
Though cooking your own meals is a surefire way to save money on food, there are still ways to cut back on expenses when you do have the occasional meal out.
When you look at a restaurant's menu, keep your focus in the middle of the dish list, rather than the top or the bottom. It's there you'll find the best-priced options.
As a general rule, avoid anything printed in large letters, in bright or bold colors, or in a box. These item are usually not bargains.

text: you asked... Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? My ankles and feet are so swollen. Is there anything I can do? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: My ankles and feet are so swollen. Is there anything I can do? Pregnancy puffiness: Another of those uncomfortable and annoying, but not usually dangerous, symptoms. First off, know what's normal and what isn't. Call your doctor if you see swelling in your face, your hands puff up more than just a little bit, one leg is much more swollen than the other, or your ankles or feet swell very suddenly. (This can be a sign of preeclampsia.)For everyday swelling, R&R coupled with prevention is your best bet. Get off your feet and lie down (preferably on your left side) whenever possible. When you sit, elevate your feet if you can, don't cross your ankles or legs, and stretch frequently. Also, get up and walk around to keep your blood moving. Drink plenty of water, even if it seems counterintuitive. If the swelling gets really bad, try support hose. You may feel like you're channeling your grandma... but the sweet relief will be worth it! watch: more help for swollen feet and ankles Paula Kashtan re: Q: Swollen feet and ankles? I just received a lymphatic massage from a prenatal massage therapist that really helped to ease the swelling of my feet! CharlieandJenn | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? my legs and ankles don't seam to be swollen but I can't wear my wedding ring anymore and it was loose to begin with. :/ DuckyBear | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? My midwife also said that mild swelling of the ankles and legs means you need to eat more protein. She recommended 75 g per day for me, but I have found that I need to eat more like 85-95 to really see a difference (she said that it probably meant that I needed more, maybe because I exercise), combined with walking a couple of miles during the day. feminaformosa | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? My feet just started to swell this week and i'm only 25 weeks. I'm just wondering, will this get any worst since i have at least 11-12 weeks to go? ANESCORP | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? my hands and feet tend to be more swollen int he morning when i wake up after laying all night n i sleep with the pillows opn my left side like it says it the best way to sleep and it makes my hands cramp up and its hard to do things like brush my hair n teeth in the morning but after being up n active it tends to go away..any advice? juinieboo0113 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? my ankles and feet have been swelling up since about my 21st week ( I am now 24 weeks with twins.) DR says to keep feet up as much as possible, but my feet are so swollen, he gave me a note to wear slippers to work because all my shoes are too small now and very uncomfortable. I dont know how much is too much, but when your feet start looking like cabbage patch feet like mine do, listen to your body and rest. hvnsangel702 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? I am 34 weeks and my feet and ankles have been swelling since about 26 weeks. However in the last couple of weeks the swelling has gotten worse and it is harder to make it go away. A couple times a day at work I have to go and lay down (on my side) in the rest area because my feet are at the point that they feel they might explode. When I get home I am pretty much couch ridden trying to get the sweling to go down. brandilane | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? Protein and salt pull excess fluid out of the body tissues and back into circulation. Also, my midwife recommended steeping thin slices of 1 lemon and 1/2 cucumber in a glass pitcher overnight and drink that the next day. You can do without the cucumber if you don't care for the taste. edibagno | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? My doctor recommended limiting salt intake of course, and keeping my feet elevated as much as possible. Of course when you work as a full time nurse, its hard to do that! Im 27 weeks this week and hope that I can keep the swelling down to prevent me from developing preclampsia snewborn0718 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? For those of you with pre-existing injuries, such as ankle sprains...swelling is inevitable. My right ankle has been swelling for weeks and now that I am 24 weeks, the swelling is starting to go to my feet. My doc just told me to get support stockings to wear, especially during work. It is so hard to stay off your feet and keep them elevated! michkev9707 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? Support hose are a Godsend! I do feel pretty frumpy in them, but the relief I feel far outweighs the fashion crime. My fiance and I joke about it and I pretend to be sexy in them. They work great! thdish2011 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? Taking a daily walk really helps me. I drink tons of water every day anyway, so walking and trying to avoid salt and sodium are the only recourses I have. debelmontkid | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? I have been taking a little extra magnesium at night, and that seems to really help too! klong75 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? My doctor recommended Preggers maternity compression products - I only need to wear the socks, not the full length pantyhose so that's a relief - can you imagine trying to put those on! But, if I needed them, I would do it because the socks have made a HUGE difference for me. She recommended Preggers because they aren't your typical medical-like socks. They have more colors and styles and don't look medical at all. charpenau | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? My swelling was really bad after a long day at work. I have been on bed rest for about 4 weeks now and have just hit 34 weeks. After only a couple days of bed rest the swelling went down, now that I am allowed to move around the condo a bit the swelling has returned. I was told its normal and not to worry. I hope must of my extra weight is swelling ;) Then it can just go away after the baby is born! kerrswood | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? I have been mainly working morning shifts getting off around 3:30. This was helping me when I didn't realize. I have switched to working mid shifts getting off work around 7 or 8. Yes it's nice to sleep in but the later in the day I am on my feet the worse the swelling is. I noticed it the first three days that I worked those shifts, at 32 weeks I had no issues before that. My midwife wrote a note for me so I don't have to work super late. On all my breaks I elevate my feet. Hope I can make it to 40 weeks! jlauren22 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? Swimming helps! If I swim more than twice a week, my swelling goes away. Also, I know it sounds backwards but, increasing your salt intake (make sure it's iodized) a little bit also helps. Kelticlady | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? Walk, Walk, and Walk. My first pregnancy I stared swelling at 19 weeks and got worse everyday even my doctors and nurses could not believe it when I would show them my feet and ankles. I am now 35 weeks into my second and have not been nearly as swollen I have been walking 3 to 4 times a week... cejoh | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? My ankles, feet and hands are swollen too. I try to prop my feet up at work but its so uncomfortable so I am doing my best to drink more water and cut down as much as I can on salt. I am not gonna try the walking thing while at work cause I cant really go to the gym anymore and I cant walk outside at night cause I get bitten alive by the insects. 4 more weeks left and I can not wait. nilu129 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? I saw my Dr today and obviously im swollen too...Dont feel bad my bands dont fit anymore either and this happened in the past week or so...UGH! But she said to drink Lemon Water that will help reduce the swelling..not the premaid kind tho get a glass of water and squeeze a lemon in and besides it being a diuretic it also does tons of other healthy stuff to your body!!! babiigiirl233 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? I'm 34 weeks pregnant with twins and have been on modified bedrest since 29 weeks ("modified" meaning I'm allowed to do a little walking if I feel up to it). I was pretty much glued to my couch or bed due to very low energy/pelvic pain and pressure/contractions until a few days ago when I suddenly felt almost normal. I got up and did some things around the house for a few days and now I'm rediculously swollen in my hands, feet, and ankles. I feel like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man! Its SO uncomfortable, I feel worse now than before (I hadn't had much swelling before, if any). This SUCKS! I'm grateful for all the advice on here, I'll try the lemon water starting tomorrow and get support socks if need be (not that they'll help my hands). A few people have mentioned it, but I will too- there needs to be a proper balance of liquid and salt in your diet to help with swelling, limiting salt intake will only make it worse. I've read that in several pregnancy and pregnancy nutrition books, and heard it from my nutritionist, doctor, and nurse. Good luck to all you other swollen ladies. jjsoftly | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? Nice post! This is a very nice blog that I will definitively come back to more times this year! Thanks for informative post. Full Astpl Article jonsan111 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? My feet and legs started to get swollen at 14 weeks. My doctor recommended limit salt in take and to get compression stockings. He checked my blood pressure and said he didn't feel it was preclamsia because my blood pressure was great. The first sign of that is high blood pressure. He said he would be more concerned for it closer to my due date. I have been watching my salt in take and wearing the compression stockings and they are still HUGE and when I mean HUGE I mean I have no ankles and my feet and legs look like they are going to blow up. I am now 24 weeks and see the doctor tomorrow so we will see what he says about them now. Try compression stockings they do help to a certain extent but you have to stay off you feet if possible which is hard for me. Good Luck! williamsbritt | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? I am 36 weeks today and so swollen my ear is numb and my face and shoulders tingle. I went to the hospital but everything baby/pregnancy checked out. I've been dealing with pregnancy carpal tunnel syndrome for 2 months and now my face is a little puffy too. The Dr. said it's "normal" swelling and to just make sure I stay hydrated and put my feet up. I was worried about Bells Palsy, but nothing like that is going on. Phwew. Cannot wait for this to be over!! nicsharp7883 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? I'm just about 35 weeks, and my feet have been a little swollen since about 32 weeks or so. I'm a teacher, so even though I tried to sit down and put my feet up as much as possible, that's really not something I could count on. Now that i'm off for summer, I can put my feet up whenever I need to - and I'll actually have to make a conscious effort to get up and move! :) My hands have been a little swollen for a while, I haven't been able to wear my engagement ring since March and my wedding band since the end of May. I also have started suffering from pregnancy induced CTS, which the midwife says is normal (as is the amount of swelling in my feet). It's just annoying because my finger joints are so stiff and it hurts to even brush my teeth in the morning. Plus my fingertips on my dominant hand are pretty numb. I've found floating around in my aunt's pool has given me the best relief when the swelling is bad enough to make my feet actually hurt, and if my husband gently rubs my feet and hands, it helps, too. Swimming is also great for my lower back pain, too. And I"m constantly sucking down water! jrowan422 | Q&A: Swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy? My midwife suggested spending time in the pool. The water pressure 5 feet down is strong enough to push the excess fluid back into circulation. I just hung out in the deep end last weekend and it worked really well! It took about 45 minutes but by the time I was done my feet/ankles were back to normal size. She suggested doing it as long as you can, typically until you have to pee from all the fluid being pushed back into your system. This helps motivate me to do my water aerobics several times per week. If you can dry off and put your compression stockings on right away it helps even more. mamamedeiros1 | Want to participate?

Is this the model with the rear inlet and outlet?
Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional

This is indeed the model of Maxitrol valve that has the inlet and outlet on the back side of the valve, adjacent to one another.

I would like to take this kit to Italy and have it connected to an existing natural gas line. Does this kit come with an ash pan? Is there a longer hose available, maybe 3-4 feet? Are connectors available in NPTF threads to connect to the existing gas line?
Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional
March 14, 2014
This kit is actually just the modulating valve, pilot assembly, and flexible gas line. A burner pan must be separately purchased to go with the unit. We do offer a complete system that uses the same modulating valve, but includes a burner pan and log grate as well. We also offer longer gas supply lines that can work with the kit. The size needed will depend on the width of the fireplace or opening that you plan on installing the set into.
Our products are designed with an NPT cut to each inlet. As such, thread seal compound or gas rated teflon must be used to seal each connection. An adapter would be needed if the incoming gas supply line is cut to NPTF thread specs.

Ainsworth, Nebraska, Mar 04, 2011 -- USDA Rural Development has announced that the Village of Butte will receive a loan of $1,119,000 that leveraged with $350,000 from the Village will make needed sewer improvements.
"The Village of Butte is so grateful that the USDA Rural Development is able to partner with us in order to update our aging sewer collection system. Without the funding assistance, the Village would not be able to improve the quality of its sanitation infrastructure," said Chairperson Robert Hansen, Village of Butte.
Funds will be used to replace all sanitary sewer main piping and manholes with a new system throughout the entire community. Approximately 21,700 lineal feet of sewer main and 63 manholes are set to be replaced. The present sewer system is old and several residences have experienced sewer backup in their basements. Manholes along the main collection line are also backing up.
"These upgrades will help the sewer system to work more efficiently and resolve the issues concerned with the lines backing up," said Area Specialist Mary Gambill, USDA Rural Development.
Funding was provided through the USDA Rural Development Water and Wastewater Loan program. For more information contact Mary Gambill (402) 387-2242 ext. 1012.

Welcome to EverythingSCV.com for December 15, 2013
The countdown to Christmas is well underway in the Santa Clarita Valley. The weather may have warmed up a bit, but it looks like Christmas weather will return in a few days with Christmas Day downright chilly!
KHTS Holiday Light Tour
It was great fun to visit with all the families we met on the first KHTS Holiday Light Tour! Holiday Light Tour Judges Carl Goldman, Jesse McClure, Jim Walker and myself were thrilled to be viewing the amazing light displays crafted by the many talented families in the SCV! To take the tour and follow the route the judges took visit www.hometownstation.com or follow the link http://hometownstation.com/santa-clarita-news/khts-holiday-light-tour-announces-street-and-individual-home-winners-39461
Beautiful charity in the SCV
There are so many neighborhoods that have really gotten into the holiday spirit of giving back. Make sure you bring food donations to the Maddux home in Newhall and Ash Court for Help the Children and toys to Wakefield Court. Cash donations for the homeless shelter are also being collected on Wakefield Court.
More beautiful lights
To see even more beautiful lights visit downtown Newhall on Main Street. Not only are there so many businesses downtown to visit now, the entire street is so festive I find it hard to stay away! The small town charm is addicting!
Single Mothers Outreach
Single Mothers Outreach has received a private grant that will match 100 percent of incoming donations for their recently launched annual appeal campaign which focuses on how its programs have changed the lives of the individuals it serves. As a nonprofit organization, Single Mothers Outreach relies upon volunteers and the contributions of businesses and individuals to fund its programs to empower single parents and their children by providing hope, support and resources so families can become self-sustaining.
"At Single Mothers Outreach, our volunteers and contributors make real, impactful differences in the lives of single parents and their children, every day," Executive Director DaAnne Smith said. "Thanks to contributions from our donors, Single Mothers Outreach provides valuable programs and services that improve the lives of families in the community we all love."
Single Mothers Outreach is asking for the community's help in supporting its mission of helping single parents complete the journey to independence with a financial contribution. Every contribution counts toward strengthening single parents and their families.
Single Mothers Outreach will pay tribute to each donor on a special page at www.ShareTheirJourney.org.
Key programs and services include: emergency stabilization for families in crisis; donated food and emergency housing placement; donated clothing and backpacks with school supplies; critical social service resources; and training programs on topics including job seeking, financial management and life skills. For more information or to make a donation, visit www.SingleMothersOutreach.org or call 661-288-0117.
Shop The Closet on Main Street
Another way to help is to donate gently used clothes to The Closet on Main Street or shop The Closet on Main. I've found some amazing bargains and beautiful clothes in the store. Visit 24335 Main St., Newhall.

Quoted from Melisa Just got the results of my TSH and Free T4 tests. I am going with hypothyroidism because the results were on the low end of the range for the lab:TSH - .93 (.10-5.50)Free T4 - .8 (.8-1.7)
Quoted from Andrew Hmmm. I am not clear about the scale of this TSH test.TSH is a signal hormone calling for more T3 / T4. Thus for hypothyroidism (insufficient thyroid production) the TSH will be high (the body needs more T3 / T4).A TSH level of 0.93 seems to be on the lower rather than on the higher side.Two years ago, one of the heart medications (it is a known side effect) drop kicked my already under performing thyroid. My TSH peaked at 20. The thyroid had all but shut down. Tripling my thyroid dose and stopping the heart meds eventually brought that problem under control.Are you sure that about the hypo (under) as opposed to the hyper (over) thyroid?For reference wikipedia suggests that the standard range for adults is 0.3 - 3.0.CheersAndrew
Quoted from Beachgirl Andrew, I think you're correct. My friend was diagnosed as hypothyroid a few months back & her TSH level was 7.+ Mine has always come back on the the low end (.74 -.83) and my Dr. said it's perfectly normal. The lab used the range of .4 - 4.50 as "normal" and some labs/ MDs use the range of .3 - 5.0 as the norm. Funny thing is, between my friend & I, the only symptom she has of hypothyroidism is higher cholesterol.... I'm the one that has dry skin, brittle nails, some hair loss, a low body temp, fatigue, trouble losing weight, etc. My friend has gorgeous hair, is super thin, has beautifully hydrated skin and so on. Go figure.

Spring in the Berkshires
We turned our clocks back this past Saturday night and many of us, myself included, are in desperate need of that lost hour. The positive part of Daylight Savings Time is that as I sit at my computer writing this blog at 6 pm it is still light out! This brings up a whole lot of reasons why an escape from your early spring routines with a Rookwood Inn Escape is perfect at this time of year!
The tranquility of our location lends itself to a feeling of complete relaxation. You can meditate, if you want, or add a massage to enhance the relaxation. Pick up that book or magazine you've wanted to read for months and actually start, or finish, it. Visit Colorful Stitches in Lenox Village to find that special wool for a project or learn how to create your own work of art and come back to The Rookwood Inn to knit or crochet in front of a cozy fire. Visit Rhythms or Kripalu for a yoga class or workshop. Take a hike and explore flowers, trees, birds and animals awakening from their winter hibernation. Returning birds can be seen (we have a huge pileated woodpecker here at The Rookwood).
Perhaps you prefer culture. Shakespeare & Company is in production, the Berkshire International Film Festival is in swing, and there is always a concert or movie to be found. The Clark Art Museum is open and through May offers free admission to its wonderful exhibits.
We've turned our winter special into a Spring in the Berkshires special valid through April. Stay any two nights in a standard or deluxe room for $299 (plus tax and gratuity) or in a mini suite for $499 (plus tax and gratuity). Our delicious breakfasts and afternoon refreshments are included, as is our warm welcoming service.
Whatever the season, you'll find the reason to visit The Rookwood Inn, Lenox, and the Berkshires!
Welcome to Rookwood Ramblings!
Welcome to the first Rookwood Rambings Blog. For those of you who've been Rookwood friends and family for a while the name, Rookwood Ramblings, isn't new. It has been the name of our newsletter (remember when it was printed and mailed out?) and then our email version. Being a creature of habit, I decided not to mess with tradition. The newsletter will be e-Ramblings and will continue to be emailed to our loyal followers up to 6 times a year. The Ramblings Blog will be posted on a more regular schedule, hopefully weekly.
The purpose of the blog will be to communicate with you on a more personal level. I plan to share some of the local charm, lore, charater and events in a way not possible in a newsletter. I will share news of what's happening, new openings, shows, restaurant reviews and more of my opinions than I normally do. If you have ideas of what you'd like to see featured, email me. I'll try to incorporate as many of our readers' ideas as possible.
It is absolutely incredulous to me that as I write this post on March 23, 2012, I am sitting the front porch (veranda) of the Inn. The sun is bright and the temperature is almost 70 degrees! It is mind blowing to imagine a more beautiful 3rd day of spring. Our daffodils have bloomed (something I've never seen before in the Berkshires!). The rhododendron buds are bursting forth. Forsythia is blooming all around us! Chris, my assistant innkeeper, had dusted off the porches, removed the wicker and cushions from their winter cocoons and brought them onto the porches. The wooden benches have been restored to their rightful places on the front lawn. In short, The Rookwood and its inhabitants (animate and inanimate) are awakening from a brief winter slow-down and are ready for our guests to return!
There are two exciting events which will be happening in and around Lenox. I'm going to mention them now and then detail them in other posts. The first is the Berkshire Cycling Classic a 62 or 81 mile bike race starting in Lenox and winding through picturesque southern Berkshire County on May 6. The other event is the Berkshire British Car Show. If you or anyone you know loves British cars like MGs, Austin Healey's, Rolls Royces, Bentleys or anything British then Father's Day weekend (June 9 and 10) is the time to come to Lenox. Call us for special offers both weekends!

NYC is fortunate to have a variety of local options to recycle the paper Sanitation collects from residents, agencies, and institutions.
The Department of Sanitation maintains contracts with various local paper processors that have been in the paper recycling business for generations.
The Department currently has paper processing contracts with the following companies:
Approximately half the paper that the Department collects for recycling goes to the first five processors listed above. To keep track of tonnage, Sanitation trucks weigh in before delivering paper.
The local paper processors separate the paper received into various grades to sell on the open market. The majority of the paper handled by these processors is sold for export.
The remaining paper that the Department collects for recycling from Staten Island, Manhattan, and parts of Brooklyn is delivered to the Visy paper mill on Staten Island operated by Pratt Industries USA.
To reduce truck traffic, the Department uses barges to transport Manhattan's recyclable paper to this mill.
The Visy paper mill (which produces linerboard for corrugated cardboard packaging products), was built between 1995 - 1996, with extensive support from the NYC Economic Development Corporation and Empire State Development. The mill was commissioned specifically to handle NYC's recyclable paper, and is one of the world's most technically advanced paper recycling mills.
See video about paper recycling process at the Staten Island Paper Mill.

If you hold to a literal interpretation of the Bible—and I do—then you believe that there will come a point in time where every man and woman, boy and girl, will be faced with the decision of accepting the Mark of the Beast. This mark will control your ability to buy and sell according to the description in Revelation 13:16-18 (ESV):
Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
Yesterday Apple announced the iPhone 5S which, in addition to the typical speed and functionality enhancements, features a fingerprint scanner built into the home button and a new software authentication system called Touch ID. You simply touch the home button, and the phone instantly recognizes the user (or other users you trust and have enter their fingerprint) and unlocks the phone. You can also use it to authenticate purchases, rather than enter your password.
My wife and I had a long discussion about this last night. We're big Apple fans, and I usually stand in line with the other Apple drones on launch day, camping out to be among the first to get my hands on their goods.
I'm not sure about this one, though.
Here's what I think so far: this isn't the Mark of the Beast. From what I understand of Revelation 13, the Antichrist will come to power first, the world will follow him, and he will institute the mark as part of his authoritarian rule. So a fingerprint scanner on a phone it ain't.
But it's a step. And it's unnerving because when I was a kid, the explanations of Revelation sounded like science fiction—so detached from the reality of the world around me that it seemed impossible. Not anymore.
But I'm also not so sure that Apple is the evil one, here (or at least not the only one). As I was doing research this morning on Touch ID, I came across an article featuring Heather Adkins, Google's Manager of Information Security:
"Our relationship with passwords are done [at Google]…passwords are dead."
That's a pretty bold statement. So what, then, will we be using for security? From the CNET article:
Although Adkins didn't offer any real specifics on how Google will innovate beyond today's security, she did say the company is experimenting with hardware-based tokens as well as a Motorola-created system that authenticates users by having them touch a device to something embedded, or held, in their own clothing. "A hacker can't steal that from you," she said.
Now, on the surface that seems pretty innocuous. After all, many of us use hardware tokens as security devices at work each and every day. But you need to watch Google closely here. Or, more specifically, Motorola, which Google just purchased. Motorola is on the forefront of authentication technology, and has recently announced two products under development in their labs. The first is a pill that is ingested each day and powered by the acids in your digestive system. The pill emits a signal that authenticates the user's identity to the phone. Weird. The second, however, is slightly more disturbing.
The image above is Motorola's other development, an authentication "biostamp," or electronic tattoo. Announced at the D11 conference in May, Motorola sees this inexpensive silicone tattoo as a viable alternative to current passwords.
"…it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark…"
And remember Google's justification, "A hacker can't steal that from you."
I'm not an "Endtimes Scholar" by any stretch. But it's abundantly clear where all this is heading, and the groundwork that is being laid. Maybe Apple's Touch ID is completely innocent. And maybe Google is living by their "Don't be evil" motto. But at some point, Christians will have to decide where they'll draw the line, and at what point they'll stop funding the companies that will eventually be the ones turning their name over for failing to take the mark.
It's something to think about between now and the new iPhone's release on September 20th.
What do you think? Is Touch ID safe? Should Christians embrace this technology? At what point do Christians have a moral responsibility to say "no" to advances such as these? Let me know in the comments.

If you forgot what mode you were in or what they mean, just look inside the rear cover for a simple reminder
Replay XD1080 features a high-strength aerospace aluminum body – Mil-Spec hard-anodized for extreme durability to withstand the inherent demands of video-actionography.
Weather-resistance is a must when dealing with action-cameras, so Replay XD1080 features a double o-ring sealed lens bezel, rear cap, and top push buttons to keep out those harsh elements.
YES! This will withstand any paintball impact.
