A recent story in the Cincinnati Enquirer
discussed the now infamous Ohio divorce case of Christo and Sharlene Lassiter.
The two were married back in 1986 and had 10 relatively happy years together.
Since then, the couple has spent 17 years bogged down in a never-ending divorce
battle, a process that has lasted nearly twice as long as the marriage itself.
How can this be you might be asking? It
turns out the two are both law professors and know enough about court procedure
and Ohio family law to drag a case out. Experts that were interviewed about the
case say that Cincinnati family law attorneys know the case by heart. Some
judges have come out against the couple, lambasting them for making a mockery
of the legal profession and arguing that the two ought to be ashamed of their
Ohio family law experts who were
interviewed for the story almost all agreed that a typical divorce where there
were no children could be wrapped up in several months. A contentious case with
child custody and visitation issues might take up to a year. The Lassiters took
more than five years to sign their divorce papers and have since spent another
12 years arguing over various components of their divorce, filing at least 28
separate actions against one another during that time.
According to the Enquirer article, the
divorce file between the parties contains nearly 1,400 separate entries, more
than 1,000 more than a typical divorce file would have. Almost everything that
could go wrong in the divorce has gone wrong. The Lassiters have called the
police on one another multiple times and both parties have had and then lost
custody of their two children. Each believes the other is out for revenge and
the two have used the court system as a tool to exact this revenge for nearly
two decades.
Judges in the area have shown that they
are over the fight, appearing to show little sympathy for either party. Judges have
said, "both parties have behaved in an appalling manner." In a Court of Appeals
case, one judge said that Mrs. Lassiter showed "unrelenting hostility" towards
her former husband and "flatly refused to obey court orders." Another judge wrote
that because both parties are law professors they ought to know better than to
behave in a way that is not only harmful to their case, but also incredibly
damaging to their children. A judge from Cincinnati wrote that the State Bar
should admonish the pair and noted that it was frightening to imagine law
students learning from their horrible example.
Though a case as contentious and long
lasting as the Lassiter's is thankfully rare, it serves as a good example of
the problems Ohio couples should strive to avoid. Try and keep hurt feelings
and vendettas out of your divorce. Making the matter about retribution only
costs everyone in the long run, especially your children, and does little to
help your case.

There were dynamite questions to Laura Ramos and me on today's Forrester teleconference about B2B Marketing Obsolete, Really? (Part III). Let's continue the conversation!
[11/24 update: The archived teleconference ($250) is up.]
Laura has blogged and tweeted on the topic Will B2B Marketing Become Obsolete? In this presentation, some of the key questions she addressed were: What is the state of B2B marketing, and what factors increase the risk that marketing will become obsolete in B2B, high technology, and services firms? What is B2B marketing's biggest challenge in light of these changes? What are the five best practices for improving B2B marketing's standing inside the organization?
During the presentation I mentioned a marketer's question late last year about whether social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, etc, are used mostly by a younger set. It's a reasonable question - isn't a 48 year old corporate decision maker going to be a later adopter of these tools than, say, an 18 year old?
Overall, probably - but check out this Quantcast info showing that it's far more likely that a LinkedIn user is age 35-49 than 34 or younger.
On top of that, look at the thumbnail showing LinkedIn user growth charted over the last 18 months - there's been several hundred percent growth.
Before the call I too tapped colleagues - asking for input on this topic via this blog, tweeting, and posting a query on LinkedIn.
On LinkedIn, I asked
"What IS b2b marketing today? how will it change or stay the same in the next few years?"
The question elicited more and stronger reactions from colleagues than I'd expected. Several said emphatically that *of course* businesses will always need to tell their story, ergo marketing will always be essential as the storyteller.
Questions that I noted from attendees this morning included (I'm roughly paraphrasing based on my understanding of what I heard - and also giving these not in the order received):
Q1: Won't B2B buyers "see through" businesses' use of social media... and possibly resent that the platform is being used to subtly pitch them (albeit in a new way)?
A: I think this is an incredibly insightful question! The short version of my own stab at an answer was that there are good practices and bad practices when it comes to businesses engaging with buyers through social media. Per excellent advice about business blogging from Tom Pick, David Meerman Scott, Laura Ramos, and others, good practices seem to include:
If you're thinking about getting started, I think it's a good bet to
On the flip side, it's a bad bet (and, in some cases, just ethically wrong) to be
Q2: With social media in the mix, how should b2b marketers measure ROI now?
A: It seems to me that frequently and closely examining correlations between CRM data and marketing efforts is important. And I suggested not settling for a "sorry, no impact/correlation" report from Sales unless you (the marketer) have talked with customers themselves.
Q3: What about PR efforts to reach traditional media at trade shows – worthwhile or not worthwhile?
A: I fielded this one, responding that I'd suggest having both traditional and non-traditional media contacts on your radar. Coverage in traditional media outlets is still useful and important because not all B2B buyers follow industry blogs or discussion forums and, even with those that do, there is still credibility imparted through coverage in some pubs.
Last but not least, traditional media contacts want a 2.0 style two-way dialogue with PR people, too. There is more on this idea in the bottom section of my interview with Ron Trujillo, editor of the Sacramento Business Journal.
There was also a question about research and examples showing how to make social media work for business. For that, Laura's recent report Making Social Media Work In B2B Marketing is a recommended resource.
What do you think the answers are to the above questions? Did we get it right? Did we leave anything out?

Nissan Frontier Engine Modifications
Came across a 2005 Nissan 4x4 Frontier with Super Charger, 17K miles mint condition, super cab, auto, trying to determine market Value? and if this is a wise purchase?? Or too much tech on a small platform?
rocketman67 Posts: 82
peskysi Posts: 1I myself owned a supercharged Frontier I think a yr older than the one your looking at.In my opinion the truck was under powered,horrible fuel mileage,and the use of premium fuel with the way gas is now for what you get is not good.I traded it in on a Titan 4x4 and got better fuel mileage and power.Now back with the 07 Frontier crew cab.Tons more power than the older Frontier.Way better fuel mileage(87 octane).Priced about the same as they were a few yrs ago.
asa Posts: 359If it's an '05, it's an aftermarket supercharger. Because of the 261 HP VQ V-6 introduced with the new generation FRontier in '05, Nissan omitted a supercharger option. The only aftermarket supercharger that I'm aware of that fits the '05+ is made by Stillen and it's a good unit from what I read. Personally, the stock VQ V-6 gives me all the power I want -- it's a fine motor.

1951don Posts: 6Just bought an 03 Frontier XE King Cab, 2.4L, automatic, 233,000 miles. Paid $3400 for it. Previous owner was a supervisor's vehicle for Pike Electric Company, so most of the miles are highway miles. Two problems, 1. Check Engine Light related to clogged EGR passages. 2. Bent Vibration Damper with no replacement except $212 from dealer. Anyone have any suggestions to correct these two problems besides going wallet in hand to the nearest dealer? Truck is great, runs great and gets about 24 mpg. Thanks for any consideration or information!!!!

Some of the top players in baseball have played for the Drillers on their way to the big leagues, including league MVPs Sammy Sosa, Ivan (Pudge) Rodriguez, and Juan Gonzales. And Drillers Stadium, the largest ballpark in Double-A, is only two miles from campus. Minor-league professional hockey has a long history in Tulsa, dating all the way back to the 1950s! The Tulsa Oilers play an exciting schedule from October through March at the Convention Center Arena downtown, just four miles from campus.

Let's speak some truth here right out of the gate: weather apps are a dime a dozen in the Play Store. With the volume of apps designed to tell users the weather, it's really difficult to put out something that stands out in the crowd. Fortunately for LevelUp Studio, it has quite a bit of experience in that field thanks to its incredibly popular app Beautiful Widgets. If you're into informative, yet minimal apps, then the company's newest offering, Bright Weather, should be right up your alley.
After a day filled with Android-flavored excitement (Google Edition phones!), disappointment (they're not really Google Edition phones, and SHIELD is late at the gate), and all points in between, it's time to kick back with some sweet app and game sales. Because no matter how good or bad your day was, saving money is never a let-down. Let's get right to it, shall we?
Beautiful Widgets Pro - $1.29 from $1.99 (35% off)
Runtastic Pedometer Pro - FREE from $.99 (100% off)
Enter the promocode "Appoftheday" in the in-app upgrade screen, today only.
Allow me to be frank for a moment: Beautiful Widgets is one of my most-used, longest-installed widgets since I started using Android. I actually bought it on my OG Droid back in the day, and have literally used it on every device I've owned since then. One of my favorite things about it is the developer – LevelUp Studio does an absolutely fantastic job of not only updating the app, but adding new features fairly often.
Today is national app update day. Not officially, but it sure feels like it. We've already seen updates to high-profile apps like Google Drive and Any.DO, but Beautiful Widgets may have set the bar for excellent updates on February 20th, 2013. The day's not over yet, but this one's a doozie.
So, what sorts of newness does it bring? Lots. Lots of sorts of newness. Like the option to select Weather Underground (wunderground) as your default weather service.
Oh Beautiful Widgets, how I love thee. This was one of the very first Android apps that I purchased when I got my OG Droid, and I've been using it ever since. Not just because it's an amazingly-good app, but because LevelUp Studio constantly works to make it better and keep it relevant. And today the app reached v5.
Version 5 brings a whole slew of new stuff, including support for Android 4.2's lockscreen widgets and Daydream feature, a completely overhauled (and far more intuitive) UI, Jelly Bean notifications, and may customizable details.
Widgets are one of Android's best advantages over other mobile platforms. Unfortunately, not as many app developers give attention to widgets as we'd like, which only makes us appreciate Beautiful Widgets even more. The famous clock/weather/battery widget developer, LevelUp Studio, is updating its suite of widgets with support for multiple weather forecasts and, more awesome than that, a web store for discovering/installing widget skins.
Taking a cue from Google's Play Store*, you can connect your Google account to the Beautiful Widgets Skins Market and automagically send skins to your device over the air and apply them without ever touching your device.
Remember way back in May, when NVIDIA showed off Glowball to demonstrate the Tegra 3's awesome quad-core power? Well, it looks like the full version of the visually stunning, technologically fascinating "interactive demo" has made its way to the Tegra Zone.
Glowball isn't quite a game, as it consists of just two levels, and was specifically designed to showcase the Tegra 3's power, but it certainly seems like an enjoyable doodad for your Tegra 3 device.
HTC's Sense UI (user interface) includes plenty of features that could make those with vanilla Android jealous, most of which involve the home screen. Phones running the custom UI have their own set of high quality widgets, which includes a "flip clock" that plenty of Android users seem to clamor over. The widget itself is four icons wide and two icons in height, and includes a clock that flips between numbers, the temperature, and icons to denote the current weather.

The zoning ordinance is the document used to regulate rural land use, from the construction of homes to the expansion of farm operations, and the rules do not apply to property within city limits. When the current zoning ordinance was approved in 2010 (it went into effect in 2011), criticism and support was similarly divided along rural and city lines. The 300-page document provided a host of new rules for county landowners, including measures meant to limit housing developments along blufftops, protections for areas that may contain Native American burial grounds, and other new provisions. The rules rendered many rural properties as "nonconforming," a label that limits a property owner's ability to expand his home or structure and his ability to rebuild it following a fire or other act of God.
The proposed amendments (see adjacent story for more details) would remove the nonconforming label from structures that were in compliance with the rules when they were built, but are nonconforming under the new ordinance. Those structures would be added to the current Rural Heritage district, and allowed to be expanded within a 300-foot radius without the need for a permit.
The amendments were proposed by Winona County Board member Steve Jacob, who campaigned on a promise to amend the controversial ordinance. He says the amendments are the result of compromise between his constituents who originally sought to remove the new ordinance entirely and those who support the regulating document. New construction, he has noted, will still be required to follow the setbacks and other regulations contained in the zoning ordinance.
Prior to the start of the public hearing, County Board Chair Wayne Valentine introduced rules of decorum for speakers, and prohibited speakers from accusing any commissioner of having a conflict of interest that would compromise his vote on the proposed amendments. Jacob has faced accusations that, because he owns property on a blufftop overlooking Whitewater State Park and has developed homes there, his support of the amendments he has proposed would present such a conflict. County Attorney Karin Sonneman, however, has negated these claims, and issued a legal opinion explaining that the ordinance change was considered a "quasi-legislative" action and does did not present a conflict. "Personal attacks really have no place here," she explained prior to the hearing. For the most part, those who spoke at the hearing did not engage in criticism that violated the rules Valentine introduced.
Most who spoke against the ordinance amendments indicated opposition to the change that would allow blufftop homes and farm structures to be expanded without a permit, fearing the relaxed regulations would result in homes dangling from blufftops, causing erosion, and disputes because farmers could expand agricultural operations toward neighboring properties without a permit.
Winona County resident Joe Morse, one of the few rural residents who spoke against the proposed ordinance changes, and who is a bluff protection advocate, objected to the amendment that would allow homes on the bluff to be expanded. He asked that the board consider using a "viewshed analysis" tool to help determine whether developments would be seen from below before allowing property owners to build close to the tops of bluffs, a tool that the board asked be explored by the Planning Department in 2010, but was not. "This ordinance is a compromise from what a lot of us wanted," he said. "Good fences make good neighbors; good rules make good neighbors. We don't need more conflict in the county."
Jake Shetler, a member of the county's Amish community, was one of several Amish men who spoke in favor of the ordinance changes. "The 2011 ordinance has been nothing but a financial hardship for us," he said of his community, adding that he applied for a conditional use permit in April 2012, but it wasn't awarded until January.
Winona County Farm Bureau President Glen Groth spoke on behalf of the bureau, and said its menbers had voted to support the amendments, following careful research. The amendments would produce positives for farmers, he said, such as the reduced need for permits and the ability of farmers to invest in operations. There were some concerns expressed by bureau members about the potential for new residential growth to fragment crop land, but, "When it comes down to it, the Farm Bureau is going to support property rights and good government," he said.
"There are other rights, other than just property rights," Jane Cowgill, who spoke against the amendments, told the board. "There are rights to peace and to health and to the happiness of future generations."
The Winona County Board may take a final vote on the amendments on Tuesday, November 12, at 9 a.m. at the Winona County Government Center on Main Street in Winona.

Rendezvous Scheduling Software Delivering Seamless Meetings Across Borders
Wednesday, June 1st, 2011Global and multi-location organisations have traditionally had to fly their senior staff around the world simply to attend a meeting. However this practice is becoming increasingly outmoded, not to mention unreliable and costly if we consider, for example, the ongoing ash cloud saga.
Companies are seeing the benefits of investing in video conference and telepresence technology as a response to external factors such as climate change and the economic downturn. By enabling video conference meetings businesses can not only offset their carbon emissions, they can also save tremendously on the travel, accommodation and expenses costs that their senior executives incur whilst on the road.
Despite its relative infancy, video conferencing is already being taken up with gusto and companies such as Polycom report that over 90% of attendees are satisfied with meetings conducted in this manner.
Whilst video conferencing and telepresence providers offer all the tools required for the actual meeting, it is still necessary for companies to have a robust scheduling software package able to handle multiple time zones, multiple rooms and resources and the scheduling of the video conference equipment.
Rendezvous Workspace has been designed expressly for this type of scenario and offers unique functionality such as agenda management, meaning that whether attendees are in New York, Washington, Beijing or London, they are able to keep abreast of all aspects of the meeting due to the solution's seamless integration with MS Outlook.
Given recent developments such as the acquisition of Skype by Microsoft, it is becoming apparent that video conferencing is set to grow even more in the near future. NFS are already at the forefront of this trend with clients ranging from Legal and Financial to Advertising and Entertainment.

Morakniv Bushcraft Black
Very solid knife for use anywhere. I really like this knife. It's solid and will hold up well to years of abuse. What I like: Carbon steele blade comes with a corrosion resistant coating back of the blade is edged so you can use it with a fire starter blade is thick comfortable rubberized grip that feels good in your hand What I don't like: Sheath I've had a ton of knives. I finally got one that doesn't fold and I'm glad I did. This knife can be beaten with not much more than a scratch. It's not… Full review
Light My Fire Swedish FireKnife
Good knife, it is very grippy even if it is wet outside. Very bright and colourful. This is a great little knife. The little draining hole at the bottom of it is very convenient if you get it wet. The fire steel is AMAZING!!!!!! The case is very strong and sturdy. Even though that belt clip looks like junk it works like a charm. It is very sharp thanks to the Mora blade. Full review
Morakniv Companion Heavy Duty Knife
Great price for a sturdy, sharp knife. I was looking for a decent low-cost trail knife and many folks all over the 'net recommended Morakniv Companion, or the Companion HD if you plan to baton wood and other bushcrafting. Found a pretty good deal on eBay (somewhere around $18 I believe) and ordered one. Heck, it's inexpensive enough that I could have ordered 3 or 4, but I wanted to be sure this is what I wanted before going hog wild. I had ordered the high-vis orange so when I set the knife down… Full review
ESEE Knives Junglas
The knife is great. The sheath leaves much to be desired, but still works. "This is a knife." - M. Dundee If I had to choose one item to take with me to survive, this would be it. You could chop a tree down with this knife if you had to, or you could clean a fish (not as easy as with a small knife, but it's not difficult with a little practice). It does have some weight to it, but it helps with chopping, and it's balanced pretty good to minimize fatigue. While a big knife is more weight to be carried,… Full review
KA-BAR Becker Companion
A very sound tool for bush craft and camping. You can field dress a dinosaur and baton a Redwood into kindling, but Fugeddabout backpacking with this beast. I'm not a knife collector, I'm a knife user. I do enjoy looking at them and contemplating a new purchase, but all in all, how many blades can you USE ? After breaking my last knife (Gerber) I decided to go "durable". As soon as I opened the BK-2 box I knew it really fit and I would have a lifetime of use and enjoyment with this knife. Right… Full review
SOG BladeLight Camp
An interesting blend of fixed blade knife and flashlight that proves quite capable of executing most camp cutting tasks. While not intended for protracted abuse of a hardcore survivalist, this knife would nevertheless thrill a seasoned scout, delight a weekend camper, or serve multiple functions in a toolbox or bug-out bag. I confess that I am something of a knife junkie, always keeping my eye open for new knives. I am particularly interested in knives intended for bushcraft and woodcraft applications,… Full review
Morakniv Companion F Rescue
Another great, inexpensive knife from Morakniv. I purchased this knife to go into my car as a safety/rescue tool. With its blunt tip and razor sharp serrated edge, it easily cuts through any items I might run across while driving (seat belt, clothes, bandages, etc.). I purchased this knife a few months ago to go in my car in the rare case I need an emergency knife for cutting seat belts or assisting in an accident. Moraknivs never disappoint in their delivery and cost and this one is an example… Full review
Fremont Knives Farson Blade
Super sharp edged unique blade for everything from chopping to skinning. The design for this survival blade came from a stone knife found near Farson, Wyoming, in the Great Red Desert. Forged from steel or titanium, its simple design and unique shape do not cause undo attention to this tool. The Farson blade by Fremont Knives is a design taken from a relic stone knife found in the Great Red Desert near Farson, Wyoming. For a better grip and reduction in weight the designers eliminated the center… Full review
Light My Fire Swedish FireKnife
I have usually carried only a swiss army knife...but the more canoe camping we started doing, the more I realized we needed a fixed blade knife. This knife, having the added benefit of an integrated fire-starter, has become a fixture in our canoe camping kit, as well as in our winter snowshoeing day-packs...it is used for culinary, as well as camp maintenance purposes! Our bright green fire-knife... now a regular companion on our canoe camping trips. The knife is light, and the scabbard protects… Full review

My name is Trinity!
Facts about Trinity
- Breed: Russian Blue
- Color: Gray Or Blue
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Trinity's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Trinity is here for a little summer fun with a furever family! Trinity was found as a VERY scared and lonely little stray cat seeking a little comfort in a busy parking lot. Thankfully, some of the wonderful employees at Tractor Supply saved her and contacted us. We placed her into a foster home with lots of kittens her age and she has really came out of her shell. Her foster mommy says she is very playful and loving. Trinity is solid blue with pretty green eyes. If you would like to apply to adopt Trinity, please visit appalachianspca.org and fill out an adoption application or email email@example.com for more information!!!
Check us out on facebook
If you would like to give this kitty a home you may fill out an application at www.appalachianspca.org. This cat is located in Pikeville Kentucky. If you are in the New England area we do have a paid transport we use to send cats to New England homes. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Trinity, a Washington Russian Blue kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Russian Blue for sale in Washington, or seeking a Russian Blue kitten from a breeder in Washington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Washington 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 Washington 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 Russian Blue breeders who help with Russian Blue rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Washington paves the way for another one to be saved.

"I made the yorkshire pudding base for chicken pot pie and it was absolutely deliscious. Very versatile recipe. This will definitely go into my rotation. I would love to make it the way it is posted but my husband doesn't like kidney. Nonethe less it's a 5 star recipe !!!"
"Tried this and my husband and I loved it!!! Quick, easy and tasty. Will be using this recipe for a long time to come. Thank you so much."
"Fantastic and absolutely right on !!! Does not disappoint !!"
"Made this for dinner last night and it was fabulous. I added allspice, garlic, grated parmesan cheese and some Caribbean Jerk bbq sauce in place of the ketchup. The sauce was really good. All in all this was a terrific recipe. Thanks for sharing."
"I was also raised on these. They are excellent. Had forgotten all about them til I saw your recipe."
"I have made this 3 times now. It is simple, quick and deliscious. Thanks for sharing the recipe !!"
"This was a fantastic brine and we will be using this every time !!! I included 1 1/2 bottles of white wine and topped up with water to the 2 gallon mark. My 12 lb turkey went into a 5 gallon bucket and covered it with brine. I then put the 5 gallon bucket into a picnic cooler and surrounded the bucket with ice. Worked fabulously. There were too..."
"This was a fabulous recipe and an instant hit with my husband and I. Next time I will only use 1 T butter and the 2 T flour as suggested by another reviewer. That's just my personal preference. This was fantastic....thanks for sharing !!"

Rather than having all the kitties she fosters for us in her home (with 2 children and their own 3 cats) they build an enclosure around an unused garage (heated!).
The kitties have hay, boxes to hide, toys and an opening to enjoy the outdoors safely. We are thrilled to see our volunteers coming up with creative ideas and it makes everyone happy...especially the kitties. (To enlarge the photo-right, click on the photo or link)

[ Home >> Our Greatest Deals >> New TaylorMade Instant Savings >> TaylorMade RocketBladez Iron Set with Steel Shafts ]
The TaylorMade RocketBladez Irons are designed to revolutionize your golf game. By borrowing the distance-enhancing benefits of the original RocketBallz fairway woods and rescue clubs, Speed Pocket Technology gives the all new RocketBladez irons unparalleled speed and distance. This technology brings forward a combination of distance, control, and feel that has yet to reach the golf club industry until now. The Speed Pocket couples with state-of-the-art, individually designed irons heads, bringing fully optimized performance from every iron in the bag. Prepare to hit the ball longer, straighter, and with more precision than previously.
RBZ Speed Pocket Technolgy Inspired by the distance-enhancing benefits of the RBZ Speed Pocket technology that makes RocketBallz fairway woods and Rescues so fast and long, TaylorMade engineers found a way to incorporate a Speed Pocket into irons. The result is a once-in-a-lifetime innovation that revolutionizes iron performance not only in terms of distance, but also distance-control and feel.
The RBZ Speed Pocket in RocketBladez irons flexes and rebounds at impact, increasing the speed of the face to promote faster ball speed and a higher, stronger ball flight that lands on a steep, quick-stopping descent angle. This Speed Pocket advantage is especially effective on impacts made low on the face, TaylorMade studies indicate that 72% of iron shots hit by amateur golfers are struck below center face.
The RBZ Speed Pocket in all RocketBladez iron models is filled with a Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) made by 3M that keeps out debris and dampens unwanted vibration while still allowing the slot to flex at impact.
Ultra-Thing Clubface The RocketBladez clubface consists of strong, maraging stainless steel. Its TaylorMade's most sophisticated clubface design yet, made possible by more evolved analysis and testing and increased mastery of the manufacturing processes. Its the thinnest iron face TaylorMade has ever created, with the top section now 1.6 mm, down from 1.8 thats 11% thinner.
Improved Inverted Cone Technology The RocketBladez irons also incorporate TaylorMade's most effective iteration of Inverted Cone Technology. The improved Inverted Cone design delivers two critical benefits. One, it increases the size of the clubface area that delivers high ball speed. Two, it influences how the face flexes and rebounds at impact to control the angle at which the ball leaves the face, promoting straighter shots and a tighter dispersion. This is a critical benefit that promotes significantly greater accuracy compared to previous high COR irons.
Low and Centered CG Location Impacting the ball where the CG is located on the face is critical to achieving maximum ball speed. TaylorMade engineers fine-tuned the RocketBladez CG to a low and absolutely centered location on the face by shortening the hosel to save weight and taking additional weight from the top of the club, then redistributing it all in strategic areas within the head. In the RocketBladez clubhead design, 17.5 grams of redistributed weight enabled TaylorMade to lower the CG by 2.5mm compared to the Burner 2.0 iron. Locating the CG lower and in the center of the face makes it easier to consistently find the sweetspot to achieve maximum energy transfer from club to ball, promoting a higher launch angle and maximum distance.

Elements in Group IIA of the periodic table can replace one of the hydrogen atoms in H2O to produce a hydroxide and H2 gas. Example:
Ca(s) + H2O ---> Ca(OH)2 + H2
Ca(s) + 2H2O ---> Ca(OH)2 + H2 (balanced)
Other elements in the same column as Ca react in a similar way.
Elements in Group IA of the periodic table can replace one of the hydrogen atoms in H2O, also, to produce a hydroxide and H2 gas. Example:
Li + H2O ---> LiOH + H2
2Li + H2O ---> 2LiOH + H2 (balanced)
Other metals in the same column as Li react in a similar way.
La reacts in a similar way but the products are La(OH)3 and H2. Try writing and balancing the chemical equation.
Has your teacher given you the molecular equation. For Na, that is
Na + H2O ==> NaOH + H2 and balanced it will be
2Na + 2H2O ==> 2NaOH + H2
Now what you want to do is to show the form as follows. To simplify things, I will not worry about the balancing coefficients.
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) ==> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
aq = aqueous
Now you want to take the molecular equation and make that into an ionic one.
solids don't change.
liquids don't change
aq (separate into ions).
gases don't change.
Na(s) + H2O(l) ==> Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) + H2(g)
Sr metal, Ca metal, K metal, any of the metals that will react with water will do so to produce the corresponding base (the OH part) plus H2(g).
All of the ion part will be analogous. The final step in making a NET ionic equation is to subtract (cancel) those items that are common to both sides. In the above equation, the final ionic equation IS the net ionic equation because nothing cancels.
I will do the Pb(NO3)2 and LiCl, again but I will use the balanced equation.
The molecular equation is
Pb(NO3)2 + 2LiCl ==> PbCl2 + 2LiNO3
You had aqueous solution so I will add that now.
Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2LiCl(aq)==>PbCl2(s) + 2LiNO3(aq)
Now change these to ions.
Pb(NO3)2 is soluble; therefore, it becomes the ions, LiCl ditto. PbCl2 is insoluble and stays as is. LiCl is soluble and changes to ions.
Pb^+2(aq) + 2NO3^-(aq) + 2Li^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) ==> PbCl2(s) + 2Li^+(aq) + 2NO3^-(aq).
That last is the molecular equation changed to the ionic equation. Now to make the net ionic equation, we cancel those items common to both sides. In this case there is no Pb^+2 on the right so we keep it on the left. Notice there are 2NO3^- on the left and right; therefore, cancel them. They will not show up in the final equation. There are 2Li^+ on both sides so cancel them. They will not show up either. What's left?
Pb^+2(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) ==> PbCl2(s)
This is the net ionic equation. Sorry it took me so long but this isn't easy to type.
I appreciate your patience! Thank you.

The Surat Thani Province region
Rising from the crystal waters of the Gulf of Siam, Koh Samui is a tropical paradise just off Thailand's South Eastern coast. The island's mountainous interior is coated in a tropical jungle with rugged trails that offer spectacular views. The whole island is surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches and azure water.
Samui is Thailand's third largest island at 247 square kilometers. And it's part of an archipelago of many other islands, including Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, and the Ang thong National Marine Park. Samui is renowned for its tropical beaches, coconut palms, a wonderful variety of spa facilities, exotic nightlife and friendly people. The island also has an amazing choice of restaurants, offering local and international cuisine that would be hard to match anywhere in the world. Samui seems to cast its magic spell on everyone who encounters it.
The island's 50 km ring road offers tantalizing glimpses of Samui's gorgeous beaches, it takes you through sleepy fishing villages and seas of coconut palms. It also passes Samui's most impressive waterfalls and provides tempting turn-offs in the highlands. Yet most visitors are content to laze the days away on the beaches, soaking up the sun and cooling off in the turquoise waters.
Samui may have a relaxed, laid back atmosphere, but the jungles and beaches offer every activity imaginable. The island has an exhilerating array of water sports such as snorkelling, scuba diving, sea canoeing, kite boarding and fishing. There's also mountain biking, horse-riding, elephant trekking through the jungle, tennis and even bungee jumping available for those seeking energetic entertainment. And an excellent golf course is available for a more gentle form of exercise.
Sunny skies and calm seas prevail for most of the year. The southern part of the island, where Villa Azure is located, remains largely unspoiled, compared to the north of the island. The villa offers a tranquil setting for nature lovers to feel at home, situated amidst a tropical paradise with amazing granite boulders.
Regular connections from Samui airport give easy access to the rest of the world. Direct connections to Phuket, Pattaya, Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur already exist with more destinations planned for the future.
Laem Set
Villa Azure is located at Sitara Retreat which is situated close to the southern tip of the island. Nearby to the villa many of the island's main attractions are only a short drive away, which include Lamai beach, Butterfly Garden, Waterfalls, Aquarium, Elephant trekking, Grandmother, Grandfather Rocks, amongst others. There are many fine and varied restaurants serving Thai and Western dishes, all within 5-10 minutes drive from the villa.
The southern part of the island still has that rustic charm appeal that the whole of Samui boasted years ago. The beaches on the south remain undeveloped, due mainly to the shallow coastline. If you like to explore you can still find areas where you have the beach to yourself, and never too far away you will find a Thai restaurant where you can enjoy true authentic local dishes.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Lusetich: Award snub proves Tiger Woods has made some enemies
The paranoia enveloping Team Tiger when it comes to the media doesn't need any reinforcement.
But it got some Thursday when the Golf Writers Association of America controversially handed its highest honor, Player of the Year, to Adam Scott. The decision was immediately perceived as a snub of Tiger Woods, who, after all, had five PGA Tour wins in 2013.
That matches the number of career wins on the Tour by such esteemed players as Luke Donald, Padraig Harrington, Tom Lehman, Hunter Mahan and Justin Rose.
Woods was named PGA Tour Player of the Year -- by his peers -- and won the equivalent honor from the PGA of America, which uses a points system. He won the money title, too, as well as the prestigious Vardon Trophy for lowest stroke average throughout the year.
Be sure, if any other player had that kind of year, Player of the Year becomes a slam dunk.
But not, it seems, for Tiger Woods.
There are, many of my colleagues point out, valid reasons for Woods being overlooked by the GWAA in what was a very close vote. (Scott won by five from 218 ballots cast, receiving 75 votes. Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson all but split the rest of the vote.)
Scott slayed demons both personal and national in rebounding from the devastation of choking away the 2012 British Open to become the first Australian to win the Masters, in a playoff against Angel Cabrera.
He also won The Barclays -- the first of the four FedEX Cup playoff events -- and at year's end went home to win the Australian PGA Championship, the Aussie Masters and the World Cup (partnering with Jason Day) and to finish second to Rory McIlroy in the Australian Open.
The GWAA award spans the entire year and doesn't limit itself to PGA Tour performances, so to many Scott mounted a strong case. And then there was the fact that Woods, for the fifth straight year, failed to win a major.
Majors have always been how Woods defines his own legacy.
But the fact remains he won two World Golf Championship events -- Doral and Firestone -- and The Players, which boasts the strongest field of any tournament in the world. These may well be the three toughest events to win outside of the four majors.
Mickelson mounted an emotional case with the thrilling victory at Muirfield, but his other two victories -- the Scottish Open and Phoenix -- weren't strong enough.
Stenson's finish to the season -- winning both the U.S. and European tours' lucrative finales -- was breathtaking but, again, didn't outweigh five PGA Tour victories.
So why was Woods overlooked?
It's true that he suffers from having set the bar too high. Compared to his many stellar seasons, 2013 was pretty average. That's not fair, of course, but -- to quote a favorite Woodsism -- it is what it is.
But there's another element to the story.
Woods suffers from a deeper problem that has nothing to do with birdies and bogeys. He has, throughout his career, barely hidden his disdain for those who cover him.
He does, to his credit, front up and do his duty after rounds and before tournaments -- far more than, say, Mickelson, who will often blow off the media -- but Woods does his level best to provide nothing of substance in those sessions. That doesn't go unnoticed. There's a price to pay, too, for the arrogance of Team Tiger in dealing with the media.
There's also the more human explanation: Writers tend to like players who like them back.
The famous scribe, Dan Jenkins, asked to go to dinner with Woods and was essentially told by Mark Steinberg, Woods' agent, that there was nothing in it for them. He's not much of a Tiger fan, and neither is John Feinstein, though I've often wondered how much that has to do with the fact that before Woods loathed him, he ignored him.
A few members of the media have been able to penetrate the blockade Woods sets up -- I was one of them for a while -- but he's so convinced he'll be betrayed that such relationships never end well.
It's a pity because it doesn't have to be such a poisonous cycle -- a message his team should be trying to impart rather than echoing, as it does, his prejudices.
Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn made headlines in March when they announced they were a couple. See how love bloomed.In my book, "Unplayable," I wrote that in 2009, when Woods needed the restraint of the media "he got instead their revenge." I can report that nothing much has changed.
Woods has the power to alter this dynamic, but I wonder if he wants to.
I can imagine him reading this news today and thinking how lucky he'll be to not have to sit through another GWAA awards dinner.

Hi all, I'm going to be moving this summer and taking all of my landscaping with me. I know I've tried to prep this stuff pretty well and honestly my schedule for the move isn't what I would prefer but it's what I'm dealt. My question is this. I've got quite a few fairly new additions to my garden that hasn't been in the ground but about a year. They are small enough I could easily container them in a large container and baby them over the summer. Would I be better off to container them now, give them lots of TLC and water over the summer and put them in late summer after the move? Or perhaps hold them till a fall planting? I also could overwinter in my Greenhouse as it will be moved and immediately reconstructed at the new house. Or just dig in June or July and replant as when I move? I'm asking this about some small Bananas I just planted last year, Tropicana, and small variety EE's. I also have one small Azalea, and hopefully my hosta will be back this summer. I do have some other large plants, shrubs that are too large to container for an extended length of time. So I will move those when I have access to water at the new place and can get those soakers running. Thoughts? |

Nanner, I would wait til you get the water at the new place and then start moving everything. I have found, if you transplant right into the ground anything that would be growing in the summer, like the banana, and water and mulch it real good, you should be fine. Anything that is evergreen, I would pot up and plant in the fall, end of October. I planted my baby banana last August in the ground, and it did just fine, over the winter too. You must be excited moving, and I have to hand it to you, taking all your landscaping, I get tired just thinking about it. LOL! Good Luck to you. |
- Posted by nannerbelle 8A (My Page) on Sun, Apr 28, 13 at 23:06
Thanks Butterfly! Yea, I'm not looking forward to moving all these plants I've put in for the last 6 years, but it's a commercial entity who bought the house and the house will be moved off and the land bulldozed. So if I don't take them with me, they won't be here for anyone to enjoy. I am excited about the new place, I've got a LOT more land than I do here and the house is a custom farmhouse. I've got lots of plans and fun in the works and in the future for it. One question, I've got two magnolias I put in about 2 years ago. One is now over 7 ft, and the other is still shrub size. Should I pot those until fall? Or would they be safe to just put in and water the heck out of now? Don't know if I have a big enough pot for the big one LOL |
- Posted by dottie_in_charlotte z7-8 NC (My Page) on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 19:36
nannerbelle , you might want to check into the tree forum and get their advice on that bigger magnolia. Might be as simple as taking a bigger root ball into burlap and wiring it up for the move into a temporary hole with some mulch and support ropes to keep it vertical until you can get it where you want it. |
- Posted by butterfly4u 8 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 22:01
Nanner, Magnolias are hard to transplant anyway, I would put them in the ground, even tho they are evergreen, They would have a better chance just planting them, mulching and putting the hose around them and soaking them good a couple times a week . I would transplant them, mulch, and water real good Every day for a week, then probably go to twice a week, and mulch real good. Especially the big one, and tell yourself if it doesn't live, you tried the best that you could. We might have a nice wet summer this year (crossing fingers), so you might luck out as far as water. Your new place sounds wonderful, I am happy for you. Hope everything goes smoothly. |

When I moved (2010) I dug up everything precious to me and kept most of them in pots for a year or so until I had a better idea of where I wanted them. It is surprising what survived - just about everything, including an 8 foot tall redbud! They are known for hating being dug up. I would think the tropical things like Bananas and Elephant Ears will be actively growing all summer - you'll have to water them in pots but they will survive, they just may not grow a lot after the move until next spring. Most of the big botanic gardens wait until the high heat of summer to move stuff if they can't move it in the winter. Most bushes and trees are kinda dormant when it gets really hot. Digging and moving 30-40 bushes and trees took three people 8 days of hard work to do (three expert gardeners, working alone and in teams, four weekends). Many people told me not to bother, just buy new plants but I think I only lost like two things after all was said and done so to me it was well worth it. |
- Posted by nannerbelle 8A (My Page) on Tue, Apr 30, 13 at 18:43
Thanks folks, I know this is a huge job but I can use the plants at the new place. Not to mention, I can't stand the thoughts of plants I've hand selected to be left to the bulldozer. Sounds like just waiting to dig till the well is in and even perhaps during the June to July time frame may be my best bet. I do have a guy who has worked for me over the last few years helping with tilling, prep and the heavy lifting of creating your own landscaping and gardens. I'm going to be hiring him on to help with this move as well. The other thing is the admin at my builders told me today we may be into August before the house is ready, the rain which is being so kind to my plants has held up some aspects of the house. Getting the foundation in was a real chore! With this advice and not having a severe time constraint on this end, that may be best if we are delayed till then. i may go ahead and dig some of the smaller plants that are easy to container to try to get a little jump on it. |
- Posted by trianglejohn z7b NC (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, May 1, 13 at 10:46
You could do some root pruning now also. Just chop down within the root zone once or twice around each bush or tree. Later in the summer do it again in a different spot. When the time comes to dig up the plant you will only be chopping through half the roots. |

KANSAS CITY, MO - The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has officially announced the teams and pairings for the 2012 NAIA Football Championship Series (FCS). Sixteen teams will play at eight FCS First Round sites on Nov. 17. Defending national champion Saint Xavier (Ill.) returns to the field and will host William Penn (Iowa) in Chicago, Ill. The quarterfinal pairings, to be played on Nov. 24, will be announced on the morning of Nov. 18.
Georgetown (Ky.) is the most decorated amongst the qualifiers with 24 victories in 18 appearances, including three national championships. The Tigers, who rank No. 1 in the final regular-season NAIA Football Coaches' Top 25 Poll, earned their most recent national title in 2001 with a 49-27 victory against former NAIA member Sioux Falls (S.D.). Georgetown kicks off FCS action against a familiar foe in Bethel (Tenn.). The Tigers are 6-0 all-time in regular season meetings against the Wildcats, including a 63-21 win on Sept. 29.
In addition to Georgetown, Baker (Kan.), MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.), Missouri Valley, Northwestern (Iowa), Saint Francis (Ind.) and St. Ambrose (Iowa) have made at least 10 appearances in the FCS.
William Penn, who received the final at-large position, is making its first appearance since 1975, snapping a streak of 37-straight seasons without participating in the postseason. The Statesmen are also searching for their first-ever FCS victory.
All eight FCS First Round games will mark the first postseason meeting between the two teams.
For the fifth-consecutive season, the Rome-Floyd County Convention and Visitors Bureau will host the 57th annual Russell Athletic-NAIA Football National Championship on Dec. 13 at Barron Stadium in Rome, Ga. The event will be televised live on CBS Sports Television with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. EST.
