Test System & Test Results
TweakTown uses a different method for testing CPU heatsinks which allows for an even playing field across all product tests. We feel that by using the same ambient temperature and strict lab-like testing procedures we are able to accurately compare one product to another. More information on our testing procedure can be found in the T.E.C.C. article here.
Coming in at 55 degrees at idle, the Nexus XIR-3500 is the only cooler like this to do better. All of the other coolers on the list are "tower based", nor do they have a small footprint in mind for those with cramped accommodations.
Once we loaded up the T.E.C.C. the Samurai loses to both of the Nexus coolers, but for such a small cooler with 55.55 CFM, to place in the top third of the list is still an accomplishment to be proud of.
At idle the noise level was quite low. There is a slight "whir" to the fan at low RPM even though it is relatively slow. Again, not the best, but does stay in that top third again.
Once loaded, the 92mm fan plays right into the averages.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

GAS IS LEAKING FROM CARB .Itook it apart cleaned it .took the float off and needle out blew air through put back together ran it shut it off started leaking again , took apart checked it seemed all right put back ran it & it hasnt leaked ,yet. would a carb that new have to be rebuilt or what? thanks jim |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had one where I had to install 3 seats before it stopped leaking. Otherwise, you could have had dirt in the tank that prevented the needle from seating. Maybe you still do. |
Carbs shouldn't need to be rebuilt after two years, unless the proper storage techniques weren't used. And even at that, there's a couple of things I always do after not using a unit for a prolonged period of time. Sounds like the 2nd cleaning solved your problem. You didn't mention the make and model of your motor, does it have a fuel filter ? |

Things that are easy are so much better than things that are hard. It's a basic scientific theory that dates back to our core existence as people, and the fact that effort must never be wasted. Homer Simpson, however, has another theory.
Trying is easy, and even fun when a high return on said effort isn't difficult to achieve. This brings us to Chris Johnson, who found running against the Bills — the league's worst rushing defense that's giving up an average of six yards per carry — to be a pleasurable experience with his 195 yards on 18 carries and two touchdowns last week.
Now he's staring down another week when few carries could be needed for high-end production. The only effort required will be running in straight lines and hitting holes. It's easy, really, just please no backfield dancing, Chris. Wasted effort makes kittens cry.
The top three most favorable matchups
1. Aaron Rodgers vs. JAC: We begin with so much chalk, but after Rodgers has posted nine touchdowns and 680 passing yards over the past two weeks on secondaries that employ Johnathan Joseph, Daniel Manning, Cortland Finnegan, and Janoris Jenkins, posting more astronomical numbers against a far inferior Jaguars defensive backfield that's giving up an average of 264.5 yards per game shouldn't be a problem. In fact, this matchup is so good and so lopsided that there's a legitimate fear this game will get out of hand too quickly, and Rodgers won't be needed much in the second half.
2. Chris Johnson vs. IND: In a week filled with fun running back matchups (Matt Forte against Carolina? Mmmm), this could and should be the most productive game for a top-end RB, if we're cool with calling Johnson that again now. A week after he pounced on a similarly appealing matchup against the Bills, Johnson now faces a front seven that's allowing nearly five yards per carry (4.8).
3. Robert Griffin III @ PIT: The ruler of all things fantasy opposes a defense that will still be playing without Troy Polamalu, and as I noted earlier this week, the last time the Steelers faced an option quarterback running an option offense, the result was of the season-ending variety. That's when one Timothy Tebow had 315 passing yards during the playoffs last January after his highest single-game total was 236 throughout the season, and he had 50 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.
The top three unfavorable matchups
1. Matthew Stafford vs. SEA: Bench Stafford if you can, but you likely can't. Cam Newton owners feel your pain, as it's difficult to bench a quarterback that cost you an early second-round pick in most leagues, even if he's struggling monumentally. This past Monday night Stafford had 5.7 yards per pass attempt against the Bears. We need to only look to that same number last year to see how far his mighty arm has fallen, as he averaged 7.6 yards per attempt in 2011. A deep Lions passing attack has now been overtaken by dinks and dunks, and Optimus Prime Richard Sherman is ready to shut down Calvin Johnson, Stafford's primary deep option who had only three receptions for 34 yards Monday while he was blanketed by Charles Tillman.
2. Jamaal Charles vs. OAK: Let's be clear. This is called the top three unfavorable matchups, not the top three players who are doomed to fail, or something of that ilk. As such, I'm not saying that Charles should be benched, or anything absurdly idiotic like that. What I am saying, though, is that similar to RGIII above whom I expect to have a great day even by his lofty RGIII standards, mentally prepare yourself for the possibility of a poor day from Charles, at least by Charles' standards. The Raiders do very few things right. In fact, they only do one thing right: defend against the run. The Raiders are allowing only 3.8 yards per carry.
3. Brian Hartline @NYJ: You've soured on Hartline a lot since that glorious Week 4 day when he had 253 receiving yards on 12 catches, both very easily career highs. Since then he's only had 53 yards over two weeks, and even that's a misleading stat because one of the Dolphins' two games since Week 4 (they had a bye last week) didn't feature Hartline's name on the boxscore. That's because to have your name on the boxscore you have to do something meaningful. Anything at all, really. Hartline didn't, as he was shut down by Cortland Finnegan two weeks ago (zero catches, zero targets, zero anything) and this week he has another tough matchup against Antonio Cromartie.
The guy you should bench
Since we're still in the middle of byes (*face meets palm*) benching Carolina's Steve Smith is likely difficult. But if you can and there's a more appealing matchup among one of your lower WRs, sitting down Cam Newton's top receiver is preferable. That's because Smith will spend most of his day lining up across from Charles Tillman, again the same Charles Tillman who shut down Calvin Johnson this past Monday night.
Beyond that, recently we've seen what Smith looks like against elite cornerbacks, and it's an ugly sight compared to the rest of his games against more average defenders. Although he still hasn't scored, Smith has averaged 78.5 receiving yards per game, which is rather impressive considering Newton's struggles. But against Atlanta's Asante Samuel/Dunta Robinson in Week 4 that number dropped to 52 yards, and then it plunged further to 40 yards against Sherman and the Seahawks in Week 5.
The stat(s) that will make you happy
Sean Lee is gone, and he's never coming back…this year. Ahmad Bradshaw gets the first crack at a Lee-less Dallas front seven, and the middle linebacker led the team with 58 tackles. I'm fully aware that his tackle total is about as surface-y as it gets in terms of Lee metrics, but sometimes all you need is the simplest number to illustrate the impact of one player.
Lee didn't just lead the team in tackles. It wasn't even close, as the Bruce Carter is second with 32, meaning even though he won't play another game this year it's conceivable that Lee is still the Cowboys' top tackler for up to two more weeks. Over the Cowboys' six games thus far they've tackled an opposing ball carrier 370 times, so Lee had a hand on said ball carrier during 15.7 percent of their defensive stops. That kind of anchor can't be replaced, and it's a glaring hole that Bradshaw should easily exploit, even if he's playing at less than full health (and really, he's always playing at less than full health).
The best case scenario for…Josh Gordon
Peyton Manning >>>>>>>>>> Brandon Weeden. But Josh Gordon owners should still be encouraged by the fact that the Chargers defense allowed an NFL quarterback — any NFL quarterback — to complete 80 percent of their passes, as they did last week against the Broncos. Somewhat sadly, Carson Palmer is pretty much Weeden's equal at this point, and back in Week 1 he was also allowed to finish with an unhealthy completion percentage (69.6).
That frequent game of catch against the Chargers continues this weekend, along with San Diego's hobby of giving up lengthy passes. They've allowed five receptions of 40 yards or more, while Gordon has averaged a Madden-esque 34.3 receiving yards per game since Week 5.
Bold-ish prediction for Gordon: 3 Rec, 104 yards, 1 TD
The worst case scenario for…Brandon Lloyd
Cortland Finnegan and Janoris Jenkins continue to suffocate the opposition's deep passing game, an area that collectively the Rams will be able to focus on a little more often when Tom Brady drops back with Aaron Hernandez out, giving the Patriots one less weapon to use while drawing attention up the middle. There's hope, because Lloyd had success against Seattle's Sherman, but that's countered by his disappearance against Champ Bailey (three receptions for 34 yards) and especially last week against Antonio Cromartie (one reception for six yards).
Bold-ish prediction for Lloyd: 4 Rec, 56 yards
The guy who's currently sleeping
We can call Jonathan Stewart a sleeper simply because he's been used minimally due to both injuries (he's missed two games), but mostly the Panthers' stubborn continued display of classic insanity, sticking to a nearly even split in their backfield despite the supreme ineffectiveness of DeAngelo Williams. It was all just so very Panthers of them, as while Williams had some moderate success (4.6 yards per carry between weeks 2 and 5) his games of woe have been far more glaring. He had -1 yards on six carries in Week 1, and six yards on six carries in Week 5. If you started Williams during the latter game you suck, according to Williams.
So a change that's been anticipated all week has arrived with Stewart named the starter, although it's one that's still mildly surprising since the Panthers aren't fans of logic. In comes the rumbling, hulking Stewart as the definitive starter, with head coach Ron Rivera saying that he'll be given an opportunity to find a rhythm and establish himself as the hot hand.
This all sounds wonderful, as Stewart is one of the most talented but vastly underused running backs in the league. In his 66 game appearances since 2008, Stewart's received 15 or more carries in a game just 15 times, and in those games he has 1,738 yards. That's nearly half of his career rushing yardage (47.7 percent).
What does that mean this week as he opposes a strong Bears rush defense? Welp, maybe nothing, maybe a lot.
With the exception of Maurice Jones-Drew in Week 5, the Bears haven't faced many top tier rushing offenses yet (Packers, Colts, and Lions are among the others). So feel free to flex Stewart, banking on his downhill power being the perfect counter for an aggressive group of linebackers. Those dealing with byes (hi, Ray Rice and Arian Foster owners) have also inherited a fine depth option if Stewart is on their bench.

Her guests took instruction well, getting their hands on etched copper plates, intaglio-style prints and textured canvases, which were puckered by multiple gesso applications.
"I've always disliked how sterile and refined art seems to be," the 42-year-old says. "When I'm making [my pieces], as a printmaker, [I'm] reading them with my hands. Why not share that?"
Her enthusiasm might stem from the fact that Pedersen is relatively new to her calling. She initially followed in the footsteps of her architect father William (KPF Gallery is in the space that's home to Kohn Pedersen Fox, the renowned firm he cofounded), receiving her Masters of Architecture from Yale and later managing design and construction for Polo Ralph Lauren's stores in South and Central America.
"Essentially, I'm trying to approach paintings as a printmaker and printmaking as a painter," Pedersen says. "I just like to make things with my hands."
"Please Touch" will be on display at KPF Gallery, 111 West 57th Street through Oct. 9, 10-6 PM.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Pretty pricey stuff, for a Posturepedic. Latex and memory foam are used in the Signature Series of the regular line.
The best available, of the regular line Signatures, is the level 10 with an additional added layer of latex.
As you can see, without the extra padding in the hotels prices, it's pretty reasonably prices.

Cosmetics Treatments
The New Alchemy of Multitasking Makeup
By: Emily Katz
Posted: March 28, 2011, from the April 2011 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 4
Spa professionals so often come up against clients' expectations and their concerns, including how they can get the most impact for their dollar and how they can minimize the amount of time they're spending on skin care and makeup while still achieving an excellent result. Because of these concerns, the economic aspect that one product covers an array of results—which once involved an entire skin care regimen—is very appealing to clients. If the benefit of a leading-edge treatment is in a color product, why would you not use that? These products can actually be very effective, but it is up to you and your client to ascertain if you are seeking a temporary look or looking for a more cosmeceutical approach in color cosmetics.
Foundations and lipsticks have been the forerunning products that include additional treatment benefits, and now eye color products are taking on the hybridization, as well. The majority of these hybrid products address anti-aging, and it is becoming more and more important that companies substantiate their claims of efficacy with clinical trials. Following is information on a variety of makeup types and their common additional benefits.
Lip products. "Lip products with SPF and antioxidants plus peptide-enhanced formulas help hydrate, protect and minimize fine lines around the mouth," explains Morris.
Eye products. "Eye shadows in cream or liquid bases often including anti-aging benefits through an emulsified formulation that a powder base does not allow for," says Morris. Eye liner pencils with retinol target lines and wrinkles in the eye area, and technology in concealers doesn't just cover, but actually minimizes puffiness, fine lines and dark circles. According to Hana Zalzel, president and founder of Cargo Cosmetics, "Botanical ingredients can be used to help reduce puffiness and dark circles by draining excess fluids and stimulating collagen synthesis to improve skin tone and firmness. Peptides and flavanoids work to reinforce the thin, fragile, transparent under-eye skin and help eliminate darkly pigmented by-products and oxidized blood cells, the root causes of darkness under the eyes."
Concealers are other eye products that offer skin care benefits. "Concealers have the ability to provide multiple benefits. Not only is this feasible, but it is also a necessity. They are an ideal mechanism for transferring anti-aging, de-puffing agents and dark circle-reducing ingredients. Including these problem-solvers, the consumer really experiences both immediate gratification and long-term skin-improving benefits," says Morris.

hired 3 times on Thumbtack
Specializing in installation of all types of tile and stone, from ceramic tiles to marble and granite slabs. As a small family business, Paul & Canon Bonaldi have been in the Bay area for over 25 years and have been able to provide to customers the best install possible and each job comes out exactly the way the home owner expects, in most cases better than what was envisioned.
Paul studied the art of porcelain pottery, traveling to Italy to see the process of making fine Italian tile. Both Paul and Canon actually still do the installations and have no plans of having hired help do the skilled work. Not only is every detail of a project not over looked, but they treat your house as if it were their own.
"What makes us different from most Tile Contractors is that we understand what goes into making your project something unique, something that is of showroom quality and we do not try to cut corners just to get the job done faster."

Quoted from Lola try the gentle liver cleanse for explorers in the GTD book, repeat once a month at least......also keep hydrated right!mine was liver related.....and these guidelines have greatly helped
Quoted from 815 I was told it's called a "migraine effect" I get them too. I had it last week...I got tunnel vision for a minute then it cleared up. I was also told by a MD that migraines are a vascular insufficiency caused by the chemicals that make the arteries dialate and retract are not secreted sufficiently. I bet the chemicals in oranges stopped my correct secretion. Once I stopped eating oranges the migraines stopped by 99.8%I went most of my life drinking orange juice in the morning because I "thought" it was good for me. It gave me migraine headaches and acne. Oh, and the funny thing is I don't even like oranges or the flavor of orange. I found out that oranges are an avoid when I started the BTD. I wish I would have known that. I lived 50 mins away from Dr. James D'Adamo. 50 minutes. We had no knowledge of ND"s due to my state not licensing them...grrrrr.
Quoted Text arteries dialate and retract are not secreted sufficiently.
Quoted from NewHampshireGirl I have had these ocular migraines periodically since the age of 35. It scared the bejeebers out of me at the time. I now know that when this happens there is something wrong in the gut.
Quoted from paul clucas I experienced pain-free stress headaches from my Tomatis therapy.
Quoted from Ribbit Thanks for the warning.

This product has been discontinued
I love this stuff! I have been using for about 2 weeks and have seen a big difference in my skin tone and the firmness. My skin looks really good - not bad before but better now. Right now I use the night formula twice a day after cleansing and also am just starting to use the clinical eye lift which I love too. Boy has Avon changed!! Great products and bought them both super cheap off of ebay. In the past I had been using Philospohy and the prices were sky high - so I thought I would try Avon and have been pleasently suprised with the quality of Avons skin products.

I cannot use this until they change this awful,horrid smell! I wish it'd be a CK type of fragrance as the previous reviewer stated but it's not,it's totally something rancid like dead veggies.A total vomit trigger!
Am just starting with this product and my first impression is a good one, HOWEVER, I'm not sure if I will repurchase because it is heavily fragranced. Like a CK one type of fragrance. This is my only complaint so far.
Edited to say, I am going to try to find a use for this, maybe my feet, the smell is so overpowering and does not fade I can't stand it near my face. Definitely a no go. They should make this fragrance free.

I have tried the Anew Alternative Age Treatment for Day with Spf and love it. I originally started with the jar and found it to be ok, but the day version is much better. I can really tell when I dont use it, the difference is noticeable. The smell is great, very earthy and clean. I recommend this product highly.
I am 28 years old and just starting to see signs of aging such as forehead lines, crows feet and uneven skin tone. I got this stuff last week and have used it after washing and toning every night. I have oily skin so I was afraid at first but my skin feels like velvet, the blotchiness has disapeared and even my adult acne has subsided. I really think Avon came up with something that WORKS for aging! I hope they DO NOT discontinue this.

My mom uses this product and has great results. Since our skin is very similar, I thought I'd give it a try. The first week was great, and my skin looked luminous and amazing. Then I woke up one morning and BAM!, I had tiny red, itchy, burning zits all over my face. I've been slathering on the cortisone cream all day hoping that it will help, but I'm kind of scared after reading the other horror stories here.
UPDATE: I originally gave this a 2 rating. Now I'm giving it a 5! Well, it's been a few weeks and I stuck with the cream and I'm so glad that I did. My skin looks amazing! My skin tone is more even and luminous, pores are smaller, skin is plump and supple and my laugh lines have softened tremendously.
I was able to calm the breakouts with cortisone cream for a day or two. And the breakouts stopped the following week after they started. I think that skin sometimes takes time to adjust to a new treatment, especially if you have sensitive skin or are acne prone. I also think that the breakouts might have been part of a "cleansing period", similar to when you start any type of AHA or Salicylic Acid treatments.
I agree with the suggestions of others here -- Try some of the sample packets that Avon reps are selling on eBay. Currently, there are several auctions for 30 packets (1-2 months supply, depending on how much you use) for less than $5!!! I bought my jar of night cream and bottle of day cream on eBay for $26 for BOTH, and it also came with a cute sequined satin clutch purse. I think the Avon book listed this combo set for $48, which is still a good value. continued >>

The first few times I used it, my face broke out. But then after I stopped using it for a while and restarted the regimen, I did not see anymore adverse effect. Overall, my skin is smoother, but I don't see any other radical improvements. But the smell of this cream is just awful to me and hopefully they will come up a different fragrance in the future.
I LOVE this! I bought samples on Ebay first and have been wearing it for about a week now and my skin is PERFECT! I use the daytime lotion as well and I'm thrilled- I finally have a sunscreen-moisturizer combo! My medicine cabinet seems more uncluttered already. The texture of the product is thick, a little thinner than pudding but it is very spreadable (you don't need much). It soaks in really fast and leaves a bit of a glow. On oily girls this could be way too shiny, but somehow it works well on me. I would repurchase again (considering I can get it from ebay for $13 instead of $32!
I love this stuff....My face is so soft...And all the blotchiness went away....I must tell you that if you are going to try it, give it a few days before you give up...All moisturizers need time for a face to get use to them, so you may feel irritated at first or get a pimple (as with most products). However, once your face has gotten use to it, you will see results...My mother is an Estee Lauder girl and switched to this stuff after 20 years. Saving her 50 bucks and making her happy is a good thing!
I've been using this for about 3 months now. I have combination/acne-prone skin. I love that it makes my face so soft and my breakouts have reduced to almost none! If I do start to get a pimple, it is gone overnight! This cream is not very moisturizing, so I only use it once a day--at night. I rarely put anything over it (moisturizers, etc.), but I've noticed as the weather has gotten colder, I do need the extra moisture. As far as anti-aging and other claims, I haven't noticed any difference. Avon's pricing is a little high, but I got a full-sized jar on eBay for $14.99.

Titles read: "Pathetone - presents - EARL CARROLL & HIS RADIO BAND".
London, probably Pathe Studio.
Various shots of Earl Carroll and his band playing a jaunty tune called 'Swing and Sway'. One of the musicians comes down to the microphone to sing the lyrics. Shots of people in evening dress dancing are intercut and superimposed.
(In the opinion of this cataloguer, this doesn't quite swing - it's a bit too British!)
Note: also known as Earl Carroll and His Radio Boys.


text: Kid Rock and his 'Twisted Brown Trucker Band' have launched their Spring/Summer tour featuring his longtime guitarist, Jason Krause. Krause, who joined Kid Rock in '97, discovered Taks 2 years ago while in search of a better sounding acoustic. He has been touring with 2 EF360GF Glen Frey models ever since. Seems appropriate since Glen is also one of Detroit's favorite sons. We expect to be seeing more of Jason and his Tak as the touring season progresses.

Not true.
We are naturally omnivorous so we require a **** ton of nutrients.
Yes, there are animals who are super strong and healthy and they eat nothing but plants, but that's all they can digest.
I bet if deer could digest meat, we'd all be dead by now.

While you're right, and I respect your point of view, honestly I'm more referring to the difference between what has become of the "typical modern omnivorous diet", or whatever you want to call it, and the kind of diet you have to adapt as a vegan. You can get all the nutrients you need from plants, as well as all the protein you need. Still though, people can do with their bodies as they please and I do not care because it does not affect me in any way. Good day.

You can get "Protein and fat" from plants but it isn't the only kind you need. Fish has been proven to have the best fat(better than nuts) for a strong diet and chicken and turkey both have fantastic protein levels. Most vegetarians I know are in their twenties and are wind chimes and the ones that are not have awful complexions.

Actually, soy contains all seven amino acids that you need in your diet. I don't mind eating tofu and drinking soymilk. I can't drink regular milk anyway and tofu can be delicious if you know how to cook it. Plus, that and other legumes contain healthy fats, to help absorb lipid-soluble nutrients.

I don't consider myself one; I make every effort to stick to a diet of unprocessed plant and plant-based foods, but if I'm at a social outing or with friends, I'll happily eat whatever is served. I only started it because i found out I'm lactose intolerant, but honestly, I feel healthier now that I've change my diet.

It can be healthy, it's just really hard to do because your diet is so limited, so you need to be careful that you're getting enough of the food groups and vitamins every day. My sister's friend is a vegan, and she's probably ine of the healthiest epople I know.
I could never do it, though.

I love this Aura Cacia Organic Cocoa Butter! It has a yummy light cocoa/chocolate scent and it worked great on my chapped lips, patched of dry skin & the fine lines I've acquired. The only thing that gave me trouble with it is the fact that the cocoa butter is solid at room temperature. It does soften up really nice once it gets warm though. I highly recommend this Organic Cocoa Butter!
More reviews by poopinpineapples
Smells so good. You do have to melt it or mix it with something else to make it usable. I make a lotion bar with equal parts cocoa butter, beeswax, and oil (coconut and jojoba). My elbows are so soft from using it!
More reviews by blondeambitioned
Wow, just ... wow. Chocolate lovers, run - don't walk - to your nearest health store and pick up a jar of this. This pure 100% cocoa butter has the most luscious, decadent chocolate fragrance you've ever smelled. The only downside is that this product is as hard as a rock. I chipped it out of the container with a knife, poured the pieces into boiling hot water, added it with some carrier oil (sweet almond or sesame will work well), added some vegetable glycerin, put it in another container, and voila! You have a spreadable, much easier to use version that is still 100% natural.

By Natalie Gochnour
I've been asked several times this week about the economic impact of the big game on Saturday between the Utes and the Cougars. The crowds, the banter and the media coverage catch people's attention. Many people's thoughts turn to the economy.
The truth is that in-state games represent a smaller immediate economic impact than games with an out-of-state foe. Here's why:
In-state games peg one part of the state against another. Very little new money crosses Utah borders. Instead, money is redistributed from one locale to another.
Since the game is in Salt Lake City this year, Utah's capital city will benefit. Restaurants will feel the bump. Next year, a similar effect will be felt in Provo.
Statewide, however, this type of economic redistribution is simply a stirring of the pot. The economy doesn't get any larger. Sorry to mix metaphors, but the pie just gets sliced up in a different way.
In contrast, when USC comes to Salt Lake City on Oct. 4, a cadre of Trojan fans will come to the state. A similar event will transpire when Oregon State comes to Provo on Oct. 13. Visiting fans will buy seats on airplanes, purchase gas, dine out, stay in local hotels, and maybe even check out an art gallery or museum. As they bring new money into the state, Utah's economy enlarges.
While the BYU-Utah game does not create a sizable short-term economic benefit, it does create economic value for the state over the long run. ESPN2's prime time coverage puts a focus on the Beehive State. BYU's large national following and Utah's PAC12 credentials draws a crowd. If Saturday's prime-time telecast attracts anything close to last week's games, as many as 4 million viewers in 2.8 million households around the country will see Utah's extraordinary Wasatch Mountains, our phenomenal downtown, and, best of all, the University of Utah's large student section THE MUSS. I feel confident people will like what they see.
This exposure will pay long-term economic dividends to the place we call home.

If you saw the TV Land Awards last week, you were surely as stunned as we were by the appearance of Charo, who, at 63, looks almost the same as she did 25 years ago. Which is good, because she'll probably be asked to make a cameo appearance in the upcoming ''Love Boat'' movie. Variety reports that Paramount's big-screen adaptation of the 1977-86 series is finally setting sail after a decade in development drydock. (Blame the success of another Aaron Spelling 1970s series-turned-movie, ''Starsky & Hutch.'')
Producer David Permut told Variety that the movie version will be a flippant take on the series. (As if there were some way to do a serious ''Love Boat'' movie?) ''We have a unique and irreverent take that will turn this innocent show on its head,'' Permut said. For instance, he said, he's commissioning a new version of the Jack Jones-crooned theme song… as a hip-hop tune! (Unique, no?) And the plot will involve a cruise to… the Bermuda Triangle! (Irreverent, yes?) Note to Paramount: Wake us in time for the ''Fantasy Island'' movie.

I have several desert roses in cactus potting mix in terra cotta pots on the north side of my house. I have not watered since the temperatures at night have dropped into the low sixties and highs are about 80. So maybe two weeks now.
The sun has dropped low enough in the past week or so to put the plants into shadow for quite a few hours each day. They still get 6 hours or so though. Since then, the leaves have turned yellow and falling off, like if the plant were rotting. Are these plants partially deciduous or dormant in the winter? If so, maybe the house shadow falling on them all the sudden is to blame. If I just move them to the south facing backyard where they will get PLENTY of light, will they wake back up? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
These plants will go dormant in the winter. The foliage drops but the caudex and stems should remain firm. I'm in zone 7a and most of my DR's are now dormant. A couple are still blooming in the GH but even most of the plants I moved indoors are dormant. I water very little while dormant, if at all. Not sure if you have enough daylight hours to bring them out of dormancy or if they'll wait to wake up when the day lengthens in your zone. I begin watering again in the early spring and put them back outside the end of May. |

Going Green
At the Old Mill Toronto we are making a conscious decision on how we are doing business today to impact the world tomorrow. Over the past few years, we have been developing and promoting policies to reduce our impact on our Environment.
We replaced incandescent light bulbs with energy saving bulbs in our guest rooms.
We replaced fluorescent lighting with electronic ballast fluorescent lighting in the kitchen, back hallways and storerooms.
We installed light sensors to control outdoor lighting.
We installed motion sensors in our meeting rooms, washrooms and storerooms.
Energy Savings
We implemented a Johnson Energy Management System for heating and air conditioning.
We installed digital thermostats in guest rooms with programmable set back heating and cooling temperatures.
We installed electronic pilots on gas stoves to allow kitchen staff to turn off gas.
We installed a kitchen exhaust management system.
Water Savings
We replaced traditional toilet tanks with low consumption water saver flush tanks in public washrooms.
We introduced low consumptions water saver flush tanks in guest rooms.
Organic Waste Solution
The U.S. & Canada send 106 billion pounds of food waste to landfills each year, and the decomposition creates Methane gas which is 21 times more harmful to the environment then Co2 emissions. We have implemented the use of the Orca Green Machine to reduce our food waste disposal. Feed the Orca not the landfill!
Environmental Initiative
We eliminated pesticide usage on our grounds and gardens.
We practice recycling of cardboard, glass, cans, plastic and organic waste.
We reduce packaging with produce suppliers to avoid cardboard usage.
We reduce usage of environmentally-damaging products such as bleach and drain openers.
We implemented a recycling committee to oversee our recycling program.
We provide excess guest soaps, shampoo, conditioner and body wash products to a charitable organization that sends unused portions to Africa.
We create an annual group of volunteers to clean up the Humber River Valley on Earth Day.
We do not serve endangered fish species and are a member of the Seafood Watch Program.
Green Key Eco-Rating Program
The Old Mill Toronto has shown national industry leadership and commitment to protecting the environment through wide ranging policies & practices.
Mature programs have been put in place that involve management, employees, guests and the public and show substantial & measurable results.

CPS approves new schools, but charters face tough questions
CPS officials approved several new charter and alternative schools at Wednesday's board meeting, and also announced new plans to engage with Community Action Councils.
But the charter schools that were approved might face an uncertain future. Both Foundations College Prep, which will open in Roseland, and Orange Charter, which has not picked a neighborhood yet, were pulled from the December meeting agenda, had their openings delayed by a year, and were given additional conditions they must meet before they are given final approval to open.
"They are to identify the communities in need, and also the communities that support these schools," Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett said. "One of them [Orange Charter] had six communities they were considering, and we recommended that they narrow their scope."
Board member Andrea Zopp was particularly concerned about Orange Charter's application. "If they find a site and it is a site I don't agree with, that's not in need, do I get to vote again? …Orange doesn't even have a principal yet." She continued: "My problem is, our guidelines require us to have people with a proven track record, which Orange does not have except for one person on the board."
Board member Mahalia Hines also questioned the idea of conditionally approving a charter school. "We are not approving schools that are ready to go." Board President David Vitale noted that CPS has historically approved charter schools in that way. "But does that mean it's right?" Hines asked.
Earlier in the meeting, board member Andrea Zopp questioned Foundations College Prep principal Sarah Hunko Baker about the school's plans. "Have you spoken to either of the aldermen there?" Zopp asked. "We are currently finalizing our support from aldermen," Baker said. Zopp asked about the board, and Baker admitted that the school's board "is an area of growth for us."
The conditions now imposed on the schools set the agenda for what they must accomplish in order to receive final approval.
Foundations must open only with the middle grades, adding one grade per year until it is a 6th- through 12th-grade school. Baker will be required to "participate in a mentorship/training program with a focus on developing high school leaders" and the school's board "must expand to include member(s) with demonstrated development/fundraising capacity."
Orange Charter must find a principal candidate who has worked successfully with a similar population of students to those the school will serve. Its budget "must be revised with more realistic fundraising goals" or identified funding sources. It must also choose a community, and be able to demonstrate that the community needs the school and supports it.
Also given a green light on Wednesday were alternative programs that will serve a mixture of dropouts, students who transfer out of their schools because they aren't on track to graduate, and those who have been expelled.
But the schools' 950 new seats may be just a drop in the bucket. Jack Wuest, executive director of the Alternative Schools Network, says there are currently 15,000 to 20,000 young high school dropouts in Chicago.
*Edison Learning – Magic Johnson Academy, which will have two locations; each will serve 150 students in grades 7 through 12.
*A new Banner Academy program, serving 225 students. Banner currently runs alternative programs at Banner South and Banner West.
*A new Pathways in Education site serving 300 students, plus 100 more students for the program's existing site that currently serves 200 students.
In addition, the Options Lab School – currently a Youth Connections Charter School campus serving 175 dropouts – will reopen as a 200-student contract school, the Little Black Pearl Art and Design Academy. It will still continue to serve dropouts, but Executive Director Monica Haslip says it also plans to enroll younger students – including incoming freshmen who need a small school environment but aren't yet off track. She describes the school as "a college prep arts and technology training program."
Several of the other schools will offer a combination of online and classroom instruction.
The two Magic Johnson Academy locations will be based on a model used by 14 Magic Johnson Bridgescape Academy schools around the country, which are a joint venture by the for-profit companies Magic Johnson Enterprises and EdisonLearning.
The 10 schools that were open during the 2011-12 school year – the first year they were in operation – were all in Ohio, says Michael Serpe, a spokesman for EdisonLearning. For students who entered as seniors that year, the schools had a graduation rate of over 70 percent.
Students in the programs spend half their time in on-site online classes, and half in traditional classes. Typically, students can choose whether to attend school from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. or from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. each day, depending on work and child care schedules. Students also receive job training and job placements at Fortune 500 companies, Andre Johnson of Magic Johnson Enterprises said during the public participation segment of the meeting.
Pathways in Education also operates with a combination of online and classroom instruction. Bill Toomey, the program's deputy superintendent, says he hopes the additional seats will help alleviate the waiting list.
"We don't have enough slots for the students that need us," he says. "Our current site is at 87th and Kedzie on the Southwest Side. We are looking at Englewood, we are looking at Roseland and the Austin area" for the second location.
Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett also announced at the meeting that she will personally respond to all proposals made by the district's Community Action Councils. She also pledged that the district will send representatives to the councils' monthly meetings.
The community action councils were created by former schools CEO Ron Huberman, but some felt their recommendations were ignored in the last round of school actions.
"We have so longed to partner with the Board," said 29th Ward Ald. Deborah Graham, who is the chair of the Austin Community Action Council.
In reiterating her response to the Commission on School Utilization's interim report, Byrd-Bennett said she has grown much more confident in the last month that CPS has the capacity to close schools.
Chief Transformation Officer Todd Babbitz noted that the district plans to offer all students from shuttered schools a space in a "welcoming school" that is higher performing.
But officials noted that in some cases, higher-performing schools might be far from students' neighborhoods.
"When parents have taken advantage of going to a higher-performing school in the past, the culture shock has been such for the parent and the child, that it has not been a pleasant experience," board member Mahalia Hines cautioned.

LOL at what becomes 'news' here
With all due respect to our colleagues in the reportorial business, the backstories to the January 23 Board meeting -- and some of the actual public participation -- were significant.
A couple of examples:
Alderman Fioretti was backed up by at least three community residents form the South Loop in his criticism of the quick and dirty CPS/City Hall publicity stunt announcing (the good news) that CPS was going to keep the old Jones building and (the bad news) that instead of being a general high school with a vocational program for the community, the building that was saved would simply allow the expansion of the college prep selective enrollment part of Jone.
Despite the usual Catalyst decision to ignore the constant churning of CPS testings (is it true that at Catalyst any test is OK as long as it can provide a reporter with some way to talk about good, medium and poor schools?), Anne Carlson's brief talk (which we've already reported at substancenews.net) demolished the latest CPS nonsense testing stuff, and Pavlyn's speech finished the job. The questions raised by Carlson (why is CPS using the MAP, when even Arne Duncan says it sucks?) and Pavlyn (how is it that CPS can use a different test every year or two and no one in the corporate media notices that each one was flawed -- except when it came to screwing "underperforming" schools?).
Oh, and there was that thing about the CAFR, which is now available to the public.
Board member Henry Bienen never chooses to talk directly to a Schmidt criticizing the Board's lies when we're at the podium, then waits smugly until the end to throw out those charming Princeton one-liners that only work when there is nobody to actually go back over the latest "facts" he's fabricating.
Lastly, but not leastly, this year's version of the Rent A Protesters and the Plutocracy's Parents. They were as subtle as an elephant fart in a tiny tent as each one got up and read from the same script bashing the public schools that had been turnarounded last year (or previously). The only thing that would get in the way of their scripted fairy tales would be a few facts, but I fear that if the principal, teachers, or other staff from, say, Bradwell had been there, violence would have ensued despite the professionalism of CPS security.
And then there was that rape that took place outside Lindblom because the geniuses at CPS can't organize security for the schools this year -- yet Byrd Bennett is promising the world that things will be OK when she follows Rahm's orders and shafts another 50 or so schools to (this year's buzzword from Orwell) "right size" CPS.
re: Lindblom
The issues relating to the area around Lindblom are truly overwhelming. I was at the school earlier this year and there were boarded up buildings on every block around the school. I don't know if CPS security can address such a profound problem it is really very overwhelming.
Rod Estvan
Lindblom security in context is not an abstraction
Before CPS decided that an MBA and a facility with Power Point were the two best qualifications for administrators (often, also, being from out of town to qualify to a "relocation" stipend), CPS security chiefs all had both Chicago police and CPS security experience. The reason was simple and worked until Rahm, his propagandists (and scriptwriters), and those backing him decided that abstractions and Hollywood scripts worked better than "boots on the ground." Chicago is too vast to oversimplify through the periscope of a "bottom line." And if anything is more complex than the security of children in Chicago's communities, those anythings are few and far between.
CPS this year has not only purged its security ranks, but it has replaced knowledge and experience with fatuous rhetoric and simplistic oversimplifications. When it's your child who has been raped, mugged, or shot, there is no "average improvement" to discuss.
The difference between Lindblom (and a dozen other high schools with a similar community around them, as Rod points out accurately) and, say, Jones or Whitney Young is vast.
And yet even those two selective enrollment high schools have faced these problems.
Examples: The year Sharon and I met, Sharon was teaching at Jones and they had just had an unusual event: a student had been stabbed (not fatally) with a screwdriver out front by another student.
The year my son Dan graduated from Whitney Young (class of 2007), they lost one graduate who was murdered (brutally) because he fell in love with the "wrong" girl and had to use public transportation to get together with her. (The school announced his name at graduation and the family received the cap and gown).
Both of those schools were traumatized by the incidents.
But in one year when I was "security coordinator" at Bowen High School, we "lost" seven. That meant, seven present or former Bowen students were murdered that school year. (Others disappeared and may have been murdered and buried out south, but the official ones we knew about numbered seven). Only one of those seven died on school grounds (Antwan Jordan), shot through the head by members (yes, that's a plural) of a rival gang.
Jordan was standing on the east side of the building when the bullet entered his forehead and almost made it out the back of his skull. I know those facts because (a) I had to watch him die and (b) confirm the death when the paramedics arrived and (c) call in the "187" to the principal on the walkie talkie I carried as part of my jobs those years. (I also taught English and was a union delegate).
What do all these "back in the day" stories have to do with the Lindblom rape?
CPS has an obligation to provide security resources, not plans and memos, to provide security for the children in each of our schools. Bowen needed more security -- and some very courageous and aggressive and well-trained security people -- than, say, Whitney Young. Both were Chicago high schools, and both suffered tragedy, but realism at ground level requires a knowledge of the city and the experience with Chicago schools.
During the years I did those jobs (I late became "Director of Security and Safety" for the CTU under Debbie Lynch with roughly the same mission), we developed a very good working relationship with the Chicago police.
-- We needed armed police in many of the schools and we had them. That prevented some of the worse tragedies from happening inside our buildings (there have been very few murders inside Chicago public schools; I submit our realism is a major reason).
-- We needed a serious security program that was revised as needed annually and updated for the seasons and reasons.
-- We needed enough security people to do the jobs both inside and adjacent to the building(s) (Bowen has three buildings, remember; many of our schools have two, some attached like Whitney Young and some detached like Sherman's) -- and
-- We need to coordinate security around our "perimeter", which includes the nearest blocks, including CTA stops, etc., when the children are entering and leaving.
It is possible that the Lindblom tragedy reported at yesterday's Board meeting was in part caused by the decision -- foisted on the Board by Rahm Emanuel -- to go to the Longest School Day without a lot of real planning. It's clear that the speaker at yesterday's Board meeting stated that Lindblom has two shift times for students, but only security for one.
The rest is still being investigated.
I sincerely hope, with two sons still in CPS schools (and doing happily safely, including riding the bus and walking home now and then) that we devote less time to demanding fatuous Power Point garbage about these complex issues and more time to the vast differences across Chicago.
Last year, Rahm refused to consult the teachers (via the Chicago Teachers Union) on these issues as he banged his one-note orchestra at huge decibel levels about the Longer School Day.
This year we're hearing the same deafening noise from the same source about the "underutilization crisis."
But I'm actually much more optimistic, even in the face of the recent security problems. Like it or not, the "team" Barbara Byrd Bennett is assembling is (slowly) showing a lot more realistic appreciation of the realities of Chicago than Jean-Claude Brizard did. (Yes: I did say that).
So are the members of the Board of Education, a few of whom are routinely asking real questions about real time problems, instead of burying their heads in the latest Power Point footnotes and spreadsheets that are served up to them like Big Macs every month.
The best news, on this front, in the past three months was the ability of David Hilliard, as a member of the Closing Commission, to bring some realism to the Board's "utilization" abstractions in light of the existence of the largest and most dangerous and best organized street gangs in the USA right here in Chicago.
But as CTU vice president Jesse Sharkey pointed out yesterday, the gang bangers who grow up into being "People" and "Folk" don't begin their predatory lives when they arrive in 9th grade. Usually, they are apprenticed (as "shorties") beginning in the lower grades and advancing into the middle grades.
I have a friend who lives in Newtown who lived there partly because it was so safe and lovely after his time in Vietnam (and his authoring of the best fiction about that terrible war and its results).
Every place needs security.
But there are Bowens and Lindbloms, on the one hand, and Joneses, on the other. And CPS security has to be provided led by people who know the schools and the map and understand the differences.
Lessons from sub prime mortgages
The more charter schools push their agendas, the more they appear to imitate tactics that predatory lenders used to take advantage of desperate parents thinking that anything that comes along has to be better than what they have. Charters get their money, up front without proof of success, not even having to meet transparent benchmarks. But yet this push goes forward. What about an accounting of money poured into charters and comparing to the amount given traditional schools, factoring in demographics? What type of operation doesn't decide this from jump?
You mentioned Bradwell
Can you elaborate? Why did you mention Bradwell Mr. Estvan? You are always in the know so I know that you would never throw a school name out there casually.
Charter Funding
I, too, would like to see an accounting of money "poured" into charters. Any independent analysis would demonstrate that charters are severely underfunded compared to neighborhood CPS schools.
Charters crying poor, POOR do you hear!!!
Nonsense. If you did back into the original talking points (long ago buried), this is precisely one of the main things the Chicago charters were touting themselves as able to do: Improve so-called "outcomes" at a lower cost and with all that incubated innovationistic stuff. Young. Agile. Dedicated and creative. They knew that "all children can learn" and they "loved the children" (whoops; don't repeat that this week: that coach from EPIC who was also at LEARN just became the latest example of why "love" in some contexts can be a four-letter word... Another reason for regulation of our profession...).
But I digress.
But you got me started, so read on if you have the energy and want some truth.
The charters are only "underfunded" in their initial round of CPS funding. But if they were audited by February, they'd have to pay back some of the money they "qualified" for in October because they by February have dumped the kids they don't want back into the real public schools.
The entire charter bait-and-switch and Scam of the Month was touchingly obvious as their claims unrolled over the years. First, they were going to be "incubators of innovation" that were able to do things the real public schools couldn't do, because, after all, it was those onerous union contracts and bureaucratic Board rules that impeded this outburst of creativity.
Once they had been around long enough for everyone to see that they were mostly (not all) test prep factories exploiting young teachers (how do you spell KIPP as the most melodramatic example of this scam) -- and that they were not "producing outcomes" superior to the local schools, then they did the first of many shifting claims.
In Chicago, they have never been audited or held accountable. The only way a charter school gets in trouble with CPS is if the financial scandal gets so BIG that it bursts out in the daily corporate newspapers. Even negligent homicide (North Lawndale College Prep) isn't enough to get a charter school dropped.
For eight years, since I first heard him tell the BIG LIE and then watched it go viral and national, Arne Duncan has been claiming that the "proof" that charters should be expanded was the so-called "waiting list." As the years went on and Arne repeated that whopper, the "list" got longer, like Pinocchio's nose. After all, when it's fiction to begin with the sky is the limit. I first heard Arne tell that lie at Urban Prep during an RFP shindig years ago, and when I asked him about it he gave me the usual "I'll get back to you on that." My question had two parts then and has two parts now:
1. Let me see that "waiting list." You can redact the names, but I want to see it, not hear you say it.
2. What is the length of the "waiting list" for Whitney Young. JUST Whitney Young.
A lie is a lie, even if it's repeated over and over and over and over by some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the USA.
The final challenge to that particular lie came in September 2012, when suddenly Andrew Broy and the other charter propagandists were going around inviting children during the strike to go to the charters.
Suddenly, instead of a waiting list, the Chicago charters had "underutilized seats." (Before that phrase became a Chicago joke). How could you have had a "waiting list" and then suddenly have "underutilized seats..." It's the same nonsense. Once you are doing fiction, you can say anything you can craft in words. There is no accuracy requirement, and the trick is to get the words repeated (talking points, messaging, marketing, all that stuff), not to have them checked out for truth.
The majority of Chicago charter schools (and so-called "campuses") have failed by any measure of "performance" that is used to measure our real public schools.
Except one:
They are anti-union entities designed to exploit naive young teachers during the few years before those naive young teachers need a real job with decent pay and benefits -- and rights -- and protection from unscrupulous bosses.
The great thing about 2013, as opposed to most of the years when Arne Duncan and his successors were polluting the Chicago mainstream with charters and trying to abolish public education in Chicago via this form of privatization is that now we have hundreds of teachers who have safely transitioned to the city's real public schools and are no longer afraid to tell the truth about the scams they were victims of (and part of in some cases) back during their dedicated days as charter school teachers.
We won't even address, here, the salaries of the charter operators and their administrators -- the overhead that at the charters soaks up so much of their money. Juan Rangal alone is the highest paid school administrator in Chicago, for a tiny fraction of Chicago's "public education" students. A half dozen of the others are playing the same gravy train game. And then out there they are also getting all those private dollars from the targeted philanthrophy that is aiming to bust the unions.
UNO's air force?
If it's true that UNO has its own airplane, I'd like a photograph and some information about how that was acquired. Back in the day, CPS had aviation shops in some high schools (the one at Dunbar was taught, if my information is accurate, by a former Tuskeegee airman) and the kids also were taught the basics of flying. That was before CPS destroyed vocational and career education, privatizing much of it, and went through the ongoing alphabet soup on voc ed.
The reason this comes to mind is that there are hundreds of exciting ways to get young people "involved" in their education, and last time I looked CPS had continued gutting the voc ed programs. If UNO purchased an airplane for Juan Rangal's use...
Let's just not hear all that stuff about charters are "underfunded..." The per pupil money the charters get is the beginning. The rich people who give them additional money also, of course, get tax benefits. Finally, as I noted earlier, the charters have additional sources of CPS dollars...
Charter Schools
I from my point of view charter schools are no the best idea. Why? Because many children don't get to attend those schools. The reasons is simple they are not at the level that charter schools have established. Plus, charter schools are always doing things wrong and they make them seem right. I preferably believe that CPS system is better and they should be funded more than they have been funded. CPS education is better because every child would be able to have an education no matter what level they have. CHARTER SCHOOLS SHOULD BE OUT!!!!!
urban prep
charter schools have high dropout rates. They kick students out of the schools to receive great performance. one school to use as an example is Urban Prep. They always had high drop out rates.
The City of Montreal believes that reducing the number of findings issued coincides with the start pressure tactics of the police.
Very cool innovations. Showcase and Bio I find very cool. So with favorite clips and so on. Fine thing. Now have to set the snoring nose only release their contents in my friends list. Today at noon there was not much. ;-)

This possible move would be the reaction to clear numbers: For while the revenue from music downloads in 2013 decreased clearly according to the World Federation of the Phonographic Industry, won to streaming services such as Spotify and Co. in most countries.

Okay, so no one got arrested and no one was killed, but we often bring you stories of weird accidents involving animals, and sometimes of horrific animal abuse. This report qualifies as a near-lethal, weird accident, and an good example of something never, ever to do to your bird.
On February 23, 2014, Marie Margarone of Boston, Massachusetts, turned on her Shop-Vac not realizing that her pet parakeet, Birdie, 8, had just ventured inside. It is not known what debris was being vacuumed, how long the bird was in the running vacuum, or what exactly tipped off the owner to her beloved pet's ordeal, though one can only imagine the sounds emanating from the vacuum cleaner. Luckily, Margarone did manage to turn the machine off in time in time to save Birdie's life.
By the time Margarone got Birdie out of the canister, however, he was reportedly in very bad shape. He was semi-conscious, bloody, and had a severely broken wing. Birdie was rushed to the Angell Animal Medical Center- MSPCA where after restoring his strength for three days, he had life-saving emergency surgery, which included partial amputation of the broken wing. He soared through the recovery and went home the next day, where he will hopefully stay warily clear of the Shop-Vac from now on.
The MSPCA released of photo of Birdie's exam shown here.

A different spin on sports by The Seattle Times staff and readers.
What Seattle Times sports readers are saying
Signing the next Chone Figgins
The article about the Mariners signing Jason Bay gives a whole new meaning to incompetence. Bay, who hit under .200 last season, is being paid $21 million by the Mets to not play in New York. M's management, players and fans have set the bar so low, they'll all probably be overjoyed to have Jason on the roster.
This way they won't miss Chone Figgins.
– A.G. Elliott, Oak Harbor
New video board, same old stats
Oh, Boy! Here we go again with our Mariner execs!
Let's see, we've moved the outfield fences in and are installing a humongous screen. The only problem is there won't be any additional stats to put on it because we don't have any bigger bats than we had at the end of last season.
I don't have anything against Jason Bay, except that last year he wasn't even close to batting .200. No one they've traded for or signed as free agents hits any better than what we already have!
Am I the only one that is getting so totally frustrated with hollow promises? Come on, Mariners!
– Diane Barrie, Poulsbo
UW football
Sark: Embrace James' principles
The Huskies' loss to the Cougars was a total embarrassment, yet I still believe that coach Steve Sarkisian is a good fit for our team. Still, he needs to look at our Huskies' history and embrace some of coach Don James' superior strategy.
It's time to be the general and not another practice play pal to his players. He must do for his offense as he did for his defense. Find a competent play-caller and give more time to the intrinsic details of being the commander of the team. Be the coach of his coaches and the ultimate motivator to his players and he can avoid another flat performance like the one against Washington State.
– Jose Hernandez, Edmonds
Northwestern? Try UW or WSU
Jerry Brewer ("Rookie quarterback saves the day, not once, but twice for Seattle," Monday) referring to Russell Wilson's performance against the Bears, writes that he, "made the Bears look like Northwestern."
Hmmm! Northwestern finished at 9-3, was close to going 12-0 or 11-1 and is going to the Gator Bowl. Brewer's comparison might have worked better by substituting the Huskies or Cougars.

NFL relationships
No comparison to war struggles
After reading the article about the difficult times NFL wives have ("A love life in the NFL isn't always an easy life," Rachel Binns Terrill, Monday), I have no sympathy for them having to be away from their spouses for short periods of time.
I lived through World War II, when women didn't even know where their husbands were. My brother and all my male friends were in the service during the Korean War. My friends' children were in Vietnam, and now my friends' grandsons are in Afghanistan. A football season is a lot shorter than any of these tours of duty in all of these wars.
How dare she feel sorry for herself!
– Sally Reiquam, Seattle
Seattle sports
Stories show a dark side
The Dec. 6 Seattle Times sports section brought into focus why it is difficult to have much enthusiasm about sports these days.
First there was the coverage of the two Seahawks facing suspension for drug violations. Sadly, the response of the Seahawks seemed to focus more on how to strategically "manage" these suspensions than on a concern that there might be a culture within the organization. that encourages such cheating.
Secondly, there was the article about how certain high-school basketball programs are loading up on the area's best players (dare I say "recruiting"?). The coaches and administrators quoted in the article all seemed to take a "what's the big deal" attitude toward this practice that clearly warps any sense of fair play and honest competitiveness.
Am I the only one who finds sports based on a "win at any cost" philosophy uninteresting?
– Dick Schwartz, Seattle
High schools
Bellevue artistry raises question
All credit to Bellevue for another state championship in football. Year in and out, they seem to have the best players and the best coaches, who do a fantastic job of instilling pride and work effort in their boys.
They are exquisite to watch, bringing artistry to sport.
Do the other schools in the Bellevue School District get an equal number of good football players and just don't do as much with them? At what point is it fair to question if the playing field is level?
– Frank Workman, Lake Forest Park

I just watched Bellevue High School win another Class 3A state football championship. Is there any doubt that Butch Goncharoff is the best football coach in Washington? That includes college and pro.
