I am so grateful for the help that I received with my sprained foot. The staff at Professional Care physical therapy are very experienced, thoughtful, and helpful. The therapy that I received here made a huge role in curing my foot so that I was able to walk again. Thank you all once more for the fantastic therapy you provide this neighborhood.
-Marge Pyland
The combination of Alexander Yegorov and his assistants makes up an amazing physical therapy experience. Staten Island is extremely lucky to have a staff that is so knowledgable and helpful. I recommend Professional Care physical therapy with my whole heart.
-Pamela Langlo
I have spent many days with Alex and his wonderful staff. The fact that they are very professional goes without saying, but what I appreciate most is the combination of knowledge and helpfulness available at Professional Care physical therapy. If you want to forget about your pain and aching and live a productive life Professional Care physical therapy is the place to go!
-Vito Gehman
I am very lucky to have Alexander Yegorov as my physical therapist. After being cheated by so many doctors it is a great feeling to finally find somebody who can accomodate you so well. One of the things that I loved was that although the office had many patients I would never have to wait more than 15 minutes. Alex worked very well and often changed up the techniques to find the best exercises to help my spinal rehabilitation. I couldn't suggest his fantastic, intelligent, delicate coaching more.
-Dorris Gentz
I want to use this chance to say thanks to Alex for his excellent physical therapy procedures he's presented to both my boy and myself in the last two years. He has constantly been extremely thoughtful and patient and you will tell that he takes pridein the work that he does. I am very happy that I have gotten to know him.

On a blazing June day in the Florida Keys, Carl Hiaasen -- lean, sun-browned, a youthful 51 -- is hanging out at a seafood joint where everybody knows his name. He lives down the road in a big house on Florida Bay, with a lovely family and all the comforts the world offers a consistently best-selling writer of airport-ready comedies. This would seem a recipe for a carefree life in paradise, but Hiaasen got here by drawing on a well of bile, and it is bottomless.
Asked what it is that makes Florida -- the stage set for his burlesques of greed and lust -- so weird, he says, ''Its history is rich with sleaze,'' embarking on a rant ranging from pirates and scalawags to Boca Raton boiler rooms. The Walt Disney Company is a favorite target; in 1998, he published a polemic titled ''Team Rodent: How Disney Devours the World,'' finding it therapeutic to write a screed: ''That's what I do most of the time anyway. I'm in a constant state of'' -- pause -- ''you know'' -- pause -- ''emotional distress. I'm sure that's where most of my writing energy comes from.'' As one friend, the humorist Dave Barry, says: ''There's real anger in Carl for whatever reason. It's a good thing he's able to write books and kill bonefish or else he might be an ax murderer. And a good one. And a likable one.''
The books -- Skinny Dip is his 10th novel -- define their own genre: the gonzo-absurdist, mangrove-hugging suspense thriller. The common theme is antipathy for unfailingly craven government and unbelievably odious overdevelopment and environmental plunder. ''Skinny Dip'' finds a quack biologist working to murder both his wife and, for the sake of a real estate scheme, the Everglades, the area dearest to the author's heart.
Hiaasen was born in Fort Lauderdale and grew up on its outskirts just in time to be scarred by their destruction. Of ''Hoot,'' his 2002 children's book, he says: ''The little burrowing owls at the centerpiece of that novel are right out of my childhood. They all got bulldozed.'' His recurring hero Skink -- a governor who fled his mansion to become a swamp-dwelling vigilante -- was inspired by an old friend whose hostility toward real estate developers ended only with his suicide at age 17. Hiaasen's own indignation was bolstered by the locally set detective novels of John D. MacDonald: ''He would get off on these riffs about what was happening to Florida -- the total stampede of greedheads, as Jimmy Buffett would say.... I found out you could do both: You can sell novels and make people turn pages and, at the same time, you can get your licks in.''
Two years after graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in journalism, he arrived at The Miami Herald, developing into an award-winning investigative journalist, a guy who knew no greater kick than catching high-powered weasels in their lies. ''The best thing in the world,'' he says. ''You've got him by the nuts and it's wonderful.'' In 1985, he became a metro columnist feisty enough to get himself officially condemned by the Miami city council and sued, unsuccessfully, by the city's mayor.
His career as a novelist started with three thrillers cowritten for easy cash; It emerged as a project in ''meting out justice.'' In 1986, he published ''Tourist Season,'' starring a newspaper columnist so revulsed by the trampling of South Florida that he begins a terrorist campaign involving, for instance, killing the president of the Miami chamber of commerce with a toy alligator. His debut found him fully formed. ''Carl's not someone who's evolved,'' says Hiaasen's agent, Esther Newberg, intending a compliment. ''He's one of those people who hit the ground running.'' Nine novels later, it's as if he's still running for his life: ''I had a friend of mine say to me, `When are you gonna write a serious novel?' I said, `You don't understand. This stuff is deadly serious to me.'''

Same Reactants Different Products
Name: Katie Status: student Grade: 9-12 Location:N/A Country: N/A Date: 5/31/2005
While working on some practice stoichiometry questions I encountered an equation that I could balance two entirely different ways.
6HNO3 + 2Al(OH)3 ---> 2Al + 3O2 + 6HOH + 6NO2
HNO3 + Al(OH)3 ---> Al + O2 + 2HOH + NO2
Same reactants, same products, so why do I get two entirely different equations? I asked my teacher and she was not sure why I was getting two equations either. Is this possible with many reactions?
These two reactions are an example of competing reactions. In the first reaction, there is much more HNO3 than Al(OH)3 -- the mole ratio is 3:1. While in the second reaction the mole ratio is 1:1. A chemist or chemical engineer needs to know which product he or she wants to emphasize -- get lots of AL, use equation 2; get lots of NO2 -- use equation 1.
Warren Young
Glenbrook North High School
The problem is that the equation you were given is actually two different reactions rolled into one. Note that while there is only one element that is being oxidized (N), there are two elements that are being reduced (Al and O). While such simultaneous oxidation-reduction reactions do occur, normally it is better to split apart the equation so that there is only one pair of oxidation-reduction. This will make balancing easier. Moreover, the H+ of the nitric acid will react with the OH- of the aluminum hydroxide (acid base reaction) to give water. So you actually have three reactions rolled into one here.
I suspect there is a typo in the problem as well.
You wrote:
6HNO3 + 2Al(OH)3 ---> 2Al + 3O2 + 6HOH + 6NO2
and HNO3 + Al(OH)3 ---> Al + O2 + 2HOH + NO2
I do not have data on the NO2, but what I found was this:
(1) NO3- + 4H+ 3e- = NO + 2H2O +0.96V
(2) O2 + 2H2O + 4e- = 4OH- +0.40V
(3) Al3+ + 3e- = Al - 1.66V
So let us assume for the moment that there is a typo and the product is NO and not, as written, NO2. This would mean that you would have to reverse equation 2 (so that when all three equations are added together, you end up with something similar to what was given). This will produce a negative voltage - suggesting that this reaction is not spontaneous or is done under electrolytic conditions (or is a poorly written question
Anyway, if we do that, add equation 1 and 3 together, we get:
(4) NO3- + 4H+ + Al3+ + 6e- = NO + 2H2O + Al
(5) 4OH- = O2 + 2H2O + 4e-
and then to balance the electrons on both sides when we add up equations 4 and 5, we need to multiply equation 4 by 2 and equation 5 by 3, and then when we add these together we get:
(6) 2NO3- + 8H+ + 2Al3+ + 12OH- = 2NO + 10H2O + 2Al + 3O2.
But wait, the H+ and the OH- are going to react with each other to give H2O, so we reduce the waters and get:
(7) 2NO3- + 2Al3+ + 4OH- = 2NO + 4H2O + 2Al + 3O2
Thus, equation 7 is what I would expect as the balanced equation.
I would say, that whoever gave you this equation to balance should carefully figure out whether there is any point in trying to do this. The problem is made complex because three different reactions (2oxidReduc, and 1 acid-base) were mushed into one. Balancing each reaction independently should give the final balanced equation, but that would require that you know that the equation can be split into those three.
Greg (Roberto Gregorius)
Ignore for the moment (even without going through the thermochemical calculation) that it is highly unlikely that nitric acid (a strong oxidizing agent) is going to reduce Al(+3) to produce elemental Al(0). Even so, these two reactions are not the same: In the first reaction the ratio of HNO3 / Al(OH)3 = 6 / 2 or 3 / 1. In the second reaction the ratio of HNO3 / Al(OH)3 = 1 / 1. That makes the two reactions different from one another, since the ratio of reactants is different. Put another way: If the two reactions were identical, you should be able to multiply the second reaction by '2' and subtract it from the first to yield "zero" that is: 'no reaction', just like algebraic equations: However, doing this gives:
(6 - 2) HNO3 + (2 - 2) Al(OH)3 ---> (2 - 2) Al + (3 - 2) O2 + (6 - 4) HOH +
(6 - 2) NO2 or:
Obviously, there is a "net" reaction. The point you illustrate, however, has merit. It was observant on your part, and important, to recognize that "there was a problem", and that is half the battle of learning -- knowing there is a problem.
Vince Calder
I am sorry I could not respond sooner and I am not sure if you received a response from anyone else. I do have concerns with the equation that you presented in your e-mail noted below.
Aluminum Hydroxide is a light fluffy solid which has a very slimy feel to it. In your equation, we are adding nitric acid to this material. What will happen as the pH is depressed is that the aluminum will dissolve in the acid and the aluminum hydroxide will disappear. The actual equation will be something like:
3HNO3 + Al(OH)3 ---> Al(NO3)3 + 3H2O
In your reaction, you are producing a pure metal by the addition of an acid to a metal compound. This does not really happen (although many manufacturers would wish for it!)
When dealing with stoichiometry, the reaction and reaction products must first make sense before the equation can be balanced. I hope I have understood correctly what you were trying to say. If not, feel free to contact me again.

11 December 2007
The man behind the campaign to reclaim bank charges, council tax, mortgage fees and more has visited Cardiff University to share his views on how the meshing of new and old media is setting in motion a consumer rebellion against misleading financial marketing.
In a very frank and passionate address, Cardiff journalism alumnus Martin Lewis, founder of Britain's biggest and most popular money website moneysavingexpert.com gave a lively account of how his own style of investigative journalism is reaping rewards for millions of consumers across the UK.
Known to millions from appearances on numerous TV and radio programmes and author of a the best selling book The Money Diet, Mr Lewis said that with our nation in such massive debt, all journalists have a major responsibility to fight the consumer's corner, and educate people to become more financially aware:
Drawing on his own experience of managing successful campaigns he said: "Consumers are very well educated in how to get into debt, but no one invests in educating these people in how to get out of debt. There is no such thing as responsible lending, only responsible borrowing and it's vital that as consumers we all start to realise this."
Mr Lewis addressed more than 140 alumni, students & members of the business community, encouraging any future journalist to look at how they can each play a role in targeting the kind of consumer apathy, inertia and ignorance that big business finds so easy to exploit.
'Consumer Revenge' organised by the University's Alumni Office and jointly hosted by the School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies and Cardiff Business School, is the second lecture as part of the Cardiff Business Alumni Lectures.
Sarah Price, Head of Alumni Relations at Cardiff University said: "Being able to welcome back alumni who have gone on to be successful in their field as Martin has done is always a great pleasure. Martin is a credit to the journalism profession dedicated to pursuing the truth behind financial jargon for the benefit if the general public."
Martin Lewis graduated from Cardiff School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies in 1998 with a PG Diploma in Journalism Studies after an Undergraduate degree from LSE.

King County Home Sales Jump in March
King County and the Seattle's latest statistics show a big jump in total real estate sales numbers in March 2009. Residential sales volume was up 30% from February to March, and attached home sales volume was up 45%.
The numbers we saw in February represented the usual cyclical increases in Spring for home sales, but the March numbers look like they are influenced by more than just the season. First time buyers and mid-range buyers are definitely getting back into the market. Even though prices are still down somewhat, this kind of sales volume will begin to stabilize the market prices.

Often when I build a squad for a friendly game of X-wing, I tend to pick pilots for their character and not necessarily their abilities. For instance, I like to have Maarek Stele lead my imperial force because it makes me nostalgic for Tie Fighter PC game even though Maarek is not really thought of as a true contender in competitive play.
Needless to say, I was speechless to see the Moldy Crow and Kyle Katarn coming with wave 3; I love the Dark Forces series. Love. I can see Kyle leading my rebel forces many times in the future even though the Crow is definitely not cut out for that role.
So please share your X-wing quirks and peculiarities whether it be pilots, upgrades, playstyles, etc. I'd love to see what's out there!

Problems with F1 2012 and fixes needed
Posted 24 September 2012 - 09:15 AM
Codemasters have made a significant step up in making the cars performance more realistic to each team. I started my career with Torro Rosso and qualified 12th to which I would normally be very annoyed with but in 2012 that is pretty good. This however, only seems to be the case for career and not season challenge as I was able to easily beat the field by over 5 seconds in a caterham at monza with Vettel as my rival. While it was great to get a win, I didn't really fight for it like I do in career.
1. My first race in career at Melbourne with Torro Rosso, I had huge problems with my engine blowing up (http://f1carsetup.co...ine-blowing-up/ - a discussion I started relating to this problem). The issue was getting so annoying that I had to turn damage to visual only in order to enjoy and finish at Melbourne. I started 12th on the grid and was able to finish 5th with 12 laps of vigorous defending. I was very happy with this result as it was so hard to achieve because of the way codemasters have made the teams pace much more realistic and I love this. In f1 2011 I was able to wipe the field in a Sauber, race after race and get pole by over 1 second each round but in 2012 this has changed and for the better.
2. Now to address the issue as to why I decided to write this post. The next race at Kuala Lumpur it was dry in practice and I was able to get 8th which I was again happy with. It was forecast to rain during qualifying so I knew that result didn't set a great picture on where I would qualify. I make a wet setup and set a time for Q1 in the rain and am way down the field in 18th place, struggling to make the cut off. I try a few different setups without prevail and end up restarting the session a few times. I go out on full wets as the first sector is soaked but as soon as I reach the 2nd and 3rd sectors there are large dry sections across the track which makes my car understeer completely off the track or spin in the slower corners. While I'm struggling with the changing conditions, the other drivers around me aren't having a problem at all on the time sheets and keep posting 1:46's. I decide to use inters and am only able to get consistent 1:49's while trying different setups. I had to shave 1.5 sec off my time in order to get into Q2 so I end up turning the engine up max and treating it as though I'm in Q3, eventually I get a 1:47 on inters and am able to go through to Q2 by the skin of my teeth. To get this time I had to use a wet setup but now in Q2 the track is bone dry and I'm needing a dry setup but because of parc ferme I can't change my setup. I go out on track with a wet setup with the option tyres on and turn my engine up full and do the best lap I can which ends up being 1.5 seconds slower than Ricciardo who is sitting in 16th leaving me dead last and no way of getting any higher because I can't use my dry setup.
With the new features of F1 2012 like parc ferme and the changing conditions, I like these, I like them a lot but they haven't been done properly because while they may affect you, they have no affect what so ever on the AI and the other drivers. This makes it extremely frustrating as I have no way of being able to be competitive and enjoy the game because the computer will always be one step ahead. If every track is completely dry in each session, I can be competitive but I don't want race after race in the dry. It is fun if it changes up and I like the idea of sections of the track having dry patches and the inclusion of parc ferme because that's how it is in real F1 but codemasters needs to make the things that affect us also affect the AI and at the moment it ruining career mode for me.
3. Now that the rant is out of the way, there are just a few more things which codemasters need to touch up in a patch. These are very small but a lot of them can make for it pestering as a whole. Turn 19 at Austin, there is an issue where if you nail the apex (one wheel on the curb and one on the track) and run out onto the ripple strip on the exit, it says you cut the corner.
4. To get use to the new braking markers in 2012, I use the racing line as a guide but at hockenheim at turn 8 and 15 the racing line braking markers are way to short and need adjusting.
5. Codemasters introduced a new feature where if you run off the track it slows the car down, this doesn't happen in real F1 so why should it happen in the game, I know that it is there to make you stay consistent and stay inside the track but instead of slowing you down, maybe they should impose a warning or penalty (on repeat offences) if you set your fastest sector time when you have gone outside the race track.
6. The last problem is with the way the car handles if you get into a skid, in 2011 they changed it from you automatically spinning like in 2010 and allowed you to counter steer and correct it, this made for great fun and allowed you to really hang it out on the curbs when you're heavy on the throttle. But in F1 2012, they have reduced the ability to correct and counter steer and the only way you can save yourself is by braking to straighten your car up just like in 2010, this needs to be changed back to the way it was in 2011.
Now after picking apart things that codemasters should fix and change, I actually genuinely like F1 2012. I feel they have advanced on the game in many aspects but these things are holding it back, if these get fixed it will easily beat F1 2011. Season challenge is a great addition, Champions mode is a great addition, the young drivers test is a great addition and the teams realistic pace is what we have all been waiting for, codemasters are doing things right and most F1 fans are happy but they will make everyone happy and F1 2012 the best F1 game yet if they make a patch that fixes these issue.

5. I have mixed feelings on this. I was running 9th in Melbourne on career with Force India, went slightly wide on turn 9 the penultimate lap slowing the car right down allowing 3 cars to drift past. Incredibly annoying at the end of a 50% race for the sake of one minor mistake. I race a lot of sprints online though, and I like this feature here. It prevents people from corner cutting and using wide off track lines before straights. After all, on 2011 you could get away with a say 4-5 corners cut meaning people would strategically pick which to cut. It's perhaps not the best solution though and seems too much of a reduction in speed.

A few things missing (P1 and 2, tyre scaling) but the other areas of the game are fantastic, the ai now makes mistakes. They are more human this year, but yeah, they do need to struggle with the weather more
Posted 25 September 2012 - 12:56 PM
Shadowstriker, the fact that the AI does make mistakes is great as it makes it way more exciting, for example in my race at Melbourne, Hamilton went wide and I was able to pounce. The tyre scaling could also make for a good and bad situation in that you can run very aggressive setups which are harsh on the tyres but you may only need them for 6 laps in a 25% race before pitting. I did enjoy the challenge of having to save tyres though last year, made victory much nicer if you could push at the end because of good tyre management.

F1 is awesome I watch it every year and this is my only sport... No football or rugby etc F1 and that's that. My console of choice is the Xbox and I have all the new titles from 2010/11 and now 2012.
The replay situation really annoys me every time they release this game. The stupid camera angles which glide around the car just make it look so unrealistic. I always think if the camera angle isnt achievable in reality it shouldn't be in the game. It's not how we see it on the tv so it shouldn't be how we see it in the game.
I also don't understand why they can't produce a way of saving your replays like on forza or why you can't watch replays from online races. If other games can achieve it it's not impossible.
The biggest failing this year has got to be tuning setups. I've spent hours tuning my car for Singapore going through countless permutations and in all honesty they make little difference. If you run the standard setup in the dry and alter only the gear ratios you can shave 3seconds off the time. Any other adjustments make very little difference from wing set at 11 or 1 or camber 3.50 or 3.00.
This series is absolutely desperate for telemetry as tuning is more like guess work with absolutely no science to it at all. It's more luck than judgement. Real life tuning parameters just don't seem to apply with balance and suspension settings. The car seems to maintain the same levels of grip with even the most useless setup which shouldn't work at all.
I would also like to be able to have a choice when looking for lobbies to race in which are at the lobby stage or qualifying or currently racing. What's the point of viewing lots of races you can't join. I would like a search option where I can only view races currently in the lobby.
I would also like to be able to join qualifying sessions which have already started in short qualifying sessions even if I only have 5 minutes left rather than not have chance to set a time.
Also where is the podium celebration once again? Why is this so hard to put in the game. You think of games like forza with over 500 different cars and interiors with all the different designs and handling characteristics with loads of different tracks. What have you been doing for the last year because the graphics aren't much different if I'm honest. The menus look much better and the presentation looks classier but there is so much more to this game which is being missed. I think it's time someone else had a go or turn10 should get involved or at least poach a few of the team.
Telemetry is a must in f1, contact patch, tyre wear etc... Do we just guess, is that how it's done in the real world. No, there's data after data for people to analyse so why not even the smallest amount in the game.
Anyway on and on I could go... Lots of issues and sick of playing the same game with a different year in the title.
Some nice new touches but not enough time spent listening to people who buy the game... Take next year off and come back with the full game in 2014

See: http://f1carsetup.co...th-canadian-gp/
Further, there are problems with blowing/smoking engines. Many users have addressed this (including myself). Engines will blow on McLarens, Ferraris, Mercedeses, and probably other cars. Also, I know engines will blow in Canada and America. Probably in other tracks too.
Also, I'm not satisfied with other cars crashing into me. I never had problems with it in 2011, but in 2012 I'm being crashed onto constantly. It's not even my fault - they just brake too late and crash into me. Maybe it's my fault in a sense that my racing lines are not perfect.. but other drives should be able to take notice on them. Not be ''surprised'' and crash into me. I'm kind of tired getting penalties because of other moron-drivers (in Legend mode!!!!).

Has anybody noticed that even after a DRS zone that it is still activated? I just got the game and in Australia this happened to me after going through turn 1 and 2
In the 2012 season there are two DRS zones in Australia because the easiest corner to overtake on the track is turn 3, here is a link that shows the DRS zones - http://www.formula1....it_diagram.html

Setup is totaly not working here with me, i have try all setups that i can find from everyone not 1 is working, i just use the setup that the team give and win all races exept from australia there is nothing posible my highest result there is 5 place.
The Press is really anoying, it is nice to read some news papers but always about Rosberg and Schumacher? i think there are 22 other drivers on the circuit than just only those 2.
Sound for some reason the team sound is not working anymore from the race of Japan till the end of the season? i have checked my settings over and over again and it will not work anymore from Japan.
The funny'st thing i had in trainig was when i was crashed both front wheels broke off and front wing gone and pit crew said 'back to the box'
In short terms, i hope the new pach bring alot of improvement, because this game is going be fast boring.

The press system is not so important. Race bugs should be fixed first.
Definitely, I done the Belgium GP and when I went into the pits, the main screen went black but the speedo, times and my position were still visible, It went back to normal after I exit the Pit Lane.

Anyone noticed that if you're coming to lap a car during a dry race and you're within one second of the backmarker at the activation point, you get DRS for that lap.
This is actually correct. In F1 the DRS does get enabled if a lead car is within a second of a back marker in the DRS zone. So this does represent the current rules in the F1 season

Looking for some new ideas to pack for summer for my truck driving husband. Challenge- he has a refrigerator but is out for 2 weeks at a time. Could be frozen and thawed and heated up. Winter was easy with soups and stews, summer is a little trickier. Help me out all you smart cooks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sandwiches....ham, cheese, pastrami, corned beef, salami, pancetta...all sorts of cured meats. Make sandwiches and freeze them and every day he gets one out to thaw for the next day. But things like fresh tomato soup with Italian sausage and asparagus soup with lots of onion, potato soup from tuny new potatoes and garden onionsa re all good....even if the day is hot... And don't forget gaspacho! Linda C |

Why not make some freezable casseroles? Make the casserole for a family dinner, removing one hearty portion for your hubby to a freezer container, wrapping well, and labeling, then freezing solid for him to take on the road. Doing a couple of different recipes a week will give him more variety. Broccoli and Ham Casserole 8 oz. small elbow or shell macaroni, cooked Make a white sauce by cooking the flour in the melted 1/4 cup butter for 2 minutes, then slowly adding in the milk, stirring until thick. Add the cheese, onion and dry mustard. Fold in the mayo, ham, broccoli, s&p. Put into casserole dish or dishes. Top with crumbs mixed with butter. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes. Cool. Wrap well and freeze. To serve: thaw, remove wrappings, heat until bubbly and top crumbs are crisp. Chicken Pot Pie - make your favorite recipe for pot pie filling, pour into single serve containers, top with a circle of pastry or thin biscuits, bake, cool, wrap, freeze. To serve: thaw, bake uncovered until bubbly and pastry/biscuits are hot and crisp. Chicken or Turkey Tetrazzini - I like the recipe at southernfood.about - freezes very well Enchiladas freeze very well, use the smaller flour tortillas so they will fit in a shorter container; package 2 to 4 enchiladas according to his appetite, ladle sauce over and top with cheese. I give these to my boys at Christmas and they say they really like them. Any beef or chicken enchilada recipe can be used. What about Bierocks? Brown ground beef with some onion, spoon off extra fat, add chopped cabbage and cook in the beef mixture until tender. Thaw bread dough and roll out portions to make an 8 " circle. Spoon on the beef and cabbage mixture, top with a piece of American cheese, fold dough over to make a meat pie. Bake, cool, then wrap and freeze. To serve: thaw, then warm, wrapped in foil until hot and cheese is melted. note: there are lots of Bierocks and Runza recipes on the web, but not too many include the slice of cheese - take my advice and add that slice or half slice of cheese on top of the meat and cabbage! |

Up until a few months ago, ordering one of Tony Parks' SDR kits required luck and good timing. His kits would only be offered for sale once every few months and would sell out in a matter of hours.
Ditto for KD1JV and other kit designers.
Hans Summers G0UPL periodically offers kits as well – most of them very unique – and I've had my eye on a Ultimate3 QRSS kit for a while but always missed the window of opportunity.
Enter a website called ChangeDetection. I'm sure there are others that do the same thing – enter the website of interest and your email address and, like magic, when the page is changed in any way, you'll get an email to that effect.
Some time last night, Hans updated his website with the announcement that his latest kit, the Ultimate3 QRSS, is now available and this morning my email inbox notified me of that.
So one of these kits is now on the way along with band filter modules for 30 and 40 meters.
Have a look at the kit – truly innovative and offers a large amount of "radio-variety" as a small and inexpensive QRP kit. Far more than QRSS, the beacon offers several flavors of CW, Hell and WSPR – all without requiring a PC for either operating or programming.
Incidentally, Hans and I met in person several years ago when I lived in New York and he was visiting Connecticut. You can read about that here.

text: Dr. Chang: a fine diplomat - SoS TourayFriday, May 02, 2008 Dr Omar Alieu Touray, the secretary of state for Foreign Affairs has said that Dr Patrick Chang, the outgoing Taiwanese Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the Republic of Taiwan to the The Gambia, had during his three-year stay in The Gambia, demonstrated in many ways the qualities of a fine diplomat. Addressing the State Banquet hosted by President Jammeh on Thursday night in honour of Dr Chang at the Kairaba Beach Hotel, SoS Touray paid homage to Dr Chang for his relentless efforts towards the socio-economic development of the country. We reproduce the full text of SoS Touray's speech: "We are gathered here this evening to bid farewell to our dear friend, His Excellency Dr. Patrick Chang, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of China to the Republic of The Gambia. We all know that sending off somebody always embodies two irreconcilable emotions. On the one hand, you have the feeling of happiness for meeting and celebrating with friends; on the other hand, there is the feelings of sadness associated with parting. Our gathering this evening is no exception. While we are all happy to see each other again in this Jaama Hall, we cannot keep feeling sad at the thought that we are all parting with a friend who is so close to our hearts. Previous speakers have said a lot. The Director of Press and Public Relations of the office of the President said what I wanted to say and so did Uncle Tapha Saine in his short intervention. All these go to bust some of the misconceptions about diplomats in general and ambassadors in particular. Believe you me, these misconceptions have a remote origin. For example, a 14th century British poet and diplomat had this to say about the ambassadors "An ambassador is an honest person sent abroad to lie for the good of his country". Well I beg to differ, and I believe all the diplomats in this hall will agree with me. To me an ambassador is an honest person who builds bridges between his country and the host society, an agenda-setter, and an artist who transcends cultural boundaries. Dr Chang is one such ambassador. Since his arrival in The Gambia in January 2005, has worked tirelessly to raise cooperation between The Gambia and Taiwan to a higher level. His sincerity, dedication and commitment have indeed boosted the Taiwanese-Gambian partnership which now covers all sectors of the Gambian economy, from agriculture to education, health infrastructure and culture. Now Dr Chang is leaving at a time when Taiwan has become a household name in this country. This is largely due to the excellent relations The Gambia and Taiwan have forged over the years. We do hope that in your new functions, you will continue to give adequate attention to the Gambia's relations with Taiwan. And we also hope we will see you here again in the near future. With these few words, may I ask all of you to raise your glasses and drink to ambassador Chang's health. Long live Gambian-Taiwanese relations. Thank you for your attention.

Tonight is the first of a home-and-home with the Suns' favorite rival team, the Los Angeles Lakers. The Suns, on a 3-game losing streak after a sunny 4-1 stretch, really probably oughta win at least one of these games. I mean, it'd be nice, ya know?
But which game are the Suns most likely to win? The Suns are tougher on the road (7-10) than at home (5-8), but the Lakers - like most other NBA teams - are tougher at home (12-2) than on the road (5-10). This could easily be 2 more losses on the Suns' docket unless their supporting players do what's become the unexpected - step up and hit clutch shots.
The key to beating the Lakers is scoring more than they do. They are 13-1 when holding an opponent under 92 points. Which means they are a putrid 4-11 when allowing 92 or more.
Let's score 92!
The Lakers' best player is still Kobe Bean Bryant, who still relishes games against the Suns.
Mired in his worst shooting season in a long time, he still went 18-31 for a whopping 48 points in their first matchup of the year, a 99-83 Lakers win. While "guarding" Bryant, Grant Hill made only 1 of 12 shots. So, that didn't work out too well.
Kobe is still Kobe, but he does seem to be fading a bit this season, while his team is fading even faster around him. He is averaging 5 more minutes per game than last season, is hiking up the most shot attempts since 2005-06 (the first year of the Suns' first-round dominance over the Lakers). He is suffering his lowest field goal % since the year before that, and his lowest 3-pt shooting % since 01-02. Those last two numbers combine to give Kobe his worst "true shooting percentage" (points per shot) of his career.
In his five extra minutes a game, though, he is racking up his most rebounds, assists and points per game since 07-08 (the year of the Pau Gasol trade).
But enough about Kobe.
The Suns need to score points. I posted a story last week, demonstrating that not one player on the Suns has shown any scoring consistency beyond Nash and Gortat. The other two-thirds of their nightly offense is a crap shoot. Who is going to score? Can you count on the guy who's hot in the first quarter to stay hot in the second quarter and fourth quarter?
The Suns also need to WIN THE SECOND QUARTER! There is an 85% chance that the Suns' fortune in the second quarter will dictate the final score. Win the second, win the game.
Which requires someone to approximate running an offense. Price and Telfair have been horrible. Price produced 4 consecutive turnovers in the 4th quarter of the Atlanta game. Telfair has been no better. Who cares whether either guy can play defense if their offense can't even get up a shot!
Win the second, win the game!
And, score more than 92 points!
Lon Babby was on the radio yesterday at KTAR (now called Arizona Sports 620) for about a 28 minute in-studio interview. Babby talked about his plans for rebuilding the Phoenix Suns into an elite team.
My little buddy, Adam Green, did a good job writing up the interview here at ArizonaSports.com, so check that out:
Newsmakers Week: Babby asks for patience - ArizonaSports.com
Most expected better. Everyone wants better. And the plan to get better, Babby told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf as part of Newsmakers Week, is in place."The first step in any plan is articulating what it is you're trying to accomplish, so what is it we're trying to accomplish," he asked. "We're aspiring to be an elite team."
You can listen to the full interview there as well which you should probably do if you want to be well-informed about the Suns.
There's a few things that stood out to me:
1) Babby once again said they wouldn't trade Nash unless he asked to be traded. This time, however, he explained that treating a player like Nash with respect and loyalty is beneficial to the Suns since it sends the right message to the rest of the league and future free agents. They believe it's important to make the Suns a "player-friendly" team.
2) Babby made it VERY CLEAR that while the Suns will have cap space this summer, they won't be pressured into spending it on the wrong players. He stressed being disciplined and that making the wrong move can set a team back for a long time.
Given the situation the Suns are in, that's the best thing we could hear.
3) Babby emphasized the need to focus on the draft and pointed out that the Suns only have two players on the roster they drafted (not counting Nash). He said the jury is still out on the Brooks deal that gave up a pick but that they need to "husband" their picks and also do a better job developing young players.
4) He asked fans for patience and you guys should know by know that I agree with this.
Suns fans are spoiled with a lot of success and bitter about not getting to the final promised land (that's me saying that, not him). Try and enjoy the ride and understand that along with past mistakes, this team did a lot of things well or they wouldn't have won so many games.
The past is the past and this team has been a lot of fun for a long time and now things are going to have to be rebuilt. It won't happen over night no matter what approach you favor. It comes down to making smart decisions and Babby asked for your patience in that process.
On another note, I spoke with Lon about the eight to 10 year time frame quoted for rebuilding from a "blow up". He explained that their research approach focused on teams since 1994 that traded or otherwise let their best player go and how long it took them to return to the conference finals.
They identified 15 teams that fit into those parameters with five returning to the conference finals in an average of 10.4 years.
He understood that there's different ways to look at the data and stressed that there's no guarantee regardless if what approach to rebuilding a team takes. It's hard to argue with that.

Quarterback was witness to incident where man's eardrum was damaged. Terry McCormick
There's always a Tim Tebow connection.
Or so it seems.
The Orlando Sentinel reported Tuesday that Tebow tried to break up the 2007 bar fight in Gainesville, Fla., where Aaron Hernandez, per a police report, punched an employee and damaged his eardrum.
Per the report, Tebow tried to calm Hernandez down and even offered to pay the tab for the two drinks Hernandez had order himself.
Tebow and Hernandez both apparently notified then-Florida coach Urban Meyer of the incident. No charges were filed against Herandez, even though he was 17 at the time.
Tebow and Hernandez, of course, were teammates again on the Patriots for about two weeks until Hernandez's release following murder charges.

Self containing
you are all shapes

of thoughts I have
like differences in boxes.
one would have to be huge
for it to contain 'all you are to me'
another filled with'needing you'
wrapped in truth.
a heart shaped one
its contents obvious.
the most important of all
made of solid gold
and bottomless,

hope above loss
where her soul lies
is it somewhere peaceful?
perhaps as peaceful
as she looks
clasping rosary beads
we are together albeit
in different silences.

that we will speak again
pain aside
in another room
where her pallid face
cannot be insulted
by cigarette smoke and chatter of quick f...

being resembled

being resembled
by a dense black cloud-
still unable to blot out his memory.

His head

mating worthy muscle.
Lord of the rut-

having accompanied our limited rituals
days ghost
steels itself in the wings of night.
Unstoppably to roll in bristling
with new bird flocked sun repetitiously fastened
telling us of space refreshed.
Baiting the inclusion of time
with birth beyond death promises.
Taming-untaming at will the colour of clouds
tangling-untangling at will the ai...

Night weighs heavily
stars try to overcome the harbour lights
a ships horn mourns through the fog
against the barks of midnights last dog.

Visually magnetised
to the crimson cloak,
harbouring the blade
that harbours senseless cruel death.

bedraggled saint
unsettling the night,
dressed in the grimness of hell.
startling the moon
even the rivers shrouding blackness

shadow plated sky shudders
hiding,averting heavens eyes

evilness of form,
scattering the guardianship of angels

She returns
unexpectedly as always.
She never fails
to penetrate my defences.
Time and again
gets through attempting to reclaim the beloved beauty she once was.
The amazing animal she was
the beautiful creature I have loved to death.
Its ghost shall endure eternal imprisonment
stay a prisoner of my heart.
Until she becomes ...

your hearts murmurs
my once sweet repose
love seemed assured
deep supposed.
weeping away
with sorrow lies
pooled with tears
lost angels cry
this hallowed place
soft refuge
a tender keep
wounded souls are loved
by the arms of sleep

under loves thumb
why does she put me
on an equal footing with the crowd?
her love may be balanced
but it unbalances me
it is burdening
It is becoming a love I hate
to love.
but is it right for me to be without it?
I,m like Charles Atlas,
loving the weight I carry
Sunday 23rd January 2011 3:06 pm
old friend
carrying my love
nightly slow slides
into view
Its long hand
ignoring the sixty four year old shadow
but caressing me here
and hopefully in
unascertained somewhere else.

fair swap?
you want my words to resemble a rose?
you want my heart to resemble Christ
enduring twelve stations?
oh faithless lover
little do you know.
for your love I would gladly
transfigure my Soul.
Saturday 22nd January 2011 7:42 pm
oh yeah!
Look at me!
look at me!
I want you to
while you dwell in my pity
while you dwell in non existent youthful immortality
but think on this....
I,m only keeping
your place
you fucking betcha!

all really is folly
An unnumbered show of the sun
agrees with somebody elses watched clock
the escaping clock continues to waste.
shrugging my bloody bloodless life away-
oh to be him in that passing luxurious car!
instead of being swarmed by shit memories-
my dead Aladdins cave of laughable nothingness
except stimulated laughs
except my kid days
of being the rag arsed eva...

his youth unspent inexhaustibly wrapped around the inner being,

Utopia of today
Places of worship
all around
in the cathedral of air
in meanings of water
Moves me to my brighter self seeing

clean light of spacious time
heavenly ascended
This kingdom thrilled
by the story of flowers
where all beauty cannot keep its secret

Flat moon archipelagos of stars sail on its face
Fish sleep in own shaped beds waiting for the sun,
to quench its morning self in the depths,
and play warm interspersing games with the land with all life thirsting wild.

I love to go a-wandering up forty steps
with a cement bag on my back
and as I go hope I don,t hear the sound of my spine crack

a 60,s reminisce
that look once was in my eyes
an undisguised wildness
in unkempt state,beard, bedraggled hair
feeling debonair nevertheless.
bounding along shouldering my tattered gear
devil may care attitude
take me or leave me
going my own way
a life of ambling ease
tramping the lengths and breadths
needing only a thumb
harmonica and smile

I pictured myself in your mind
sat wondering-
what the bloody hell am I doing here?
when all you do is walk about the nut house shouting
Stefan Wilde is squatting in my head!

age of discovery
used in sophisticated silent economic wars
drunks,petty thieves,prostitutes,slum dwellers
wars that kill without blood
murder with the weapons of greed
covertly disguised as refinement,culture
new morality shall tear away the mask
which has for far too long concealed the soundless barbarism
of craven cultured fiends.

unseen foe
how the dust of ages weighs!
from long gone precarious peaceful and mires of warring years
as we living in their shadows
wondering,wandering stray
carrying goodly lessons from costly mistakes
over ans under assumed by classic voice and spear.
legacies left by tainted ghosts,saintly illusive spirits
friends,traitors of now,of past
subjects of both fortune,bo...

across the empty bed

a terrible form of deja-vu
I am to repeatedly endure

last chance gone
the Earth IS dying
even as we sit mumbling,whispering
our timid protests and selfish blames
why waiting?
knowing very well there are NO answers
no redemption
no phoenix to rise or
even want to-
lonely in the face of the Sun

all old guys aint grumpy
he drew a harsh breath and prayed
for friends
whose friendship he had gained,
battled for
through many drunken and sober trials.
he was a mans man,apart from being a lover
of roses.
always happy,even when the Soul blasting wind
shook his sparse form.
as though wanting everything in his life to hug his heart-
that was clear,laughingly clear in ...

bread winning hero
toiling in the dirty dark
back breakingly breaking seams
proud to emerge fossil dusted,sweating
into daylight blackfaced,whitely grinning.
freshly tin-bathed
and child upon his grit worn knees
he sings to his small beloved in beloved dialect
lullabying her into dreams awaiting
in shirt,flat ironed and only suit
his manly la...

beautifully drowned
first meeting you...?
...a shallow immergence.
busying me with glad unawareness-
so unaware as not to have heard the
distant approach of your love-tsunami.
now swirled and whirled I have never rediscovered
which is up
which is down.

Pained severance
chrysalis of babyhood transmutes

my admirations are constant,seeing you on your way
off into the world!

not one piece of furniture matches in my lounge.
awkward shaped,but they all go nicely together
in a very special way-
the sofa is comfortable with the big chair
the big chair is easy about the sofa
and both are happy to cosy up to the others
however ill fitting to others the others look

same wavelength
a man
who really cares about you.
doesnt mind if you call him John
and he never preaches just teaches.
his lessons have a relevant theme
he knows the type of world this is.
this friend of all does more than those
who cram facts from dusty books.
the real meaning of life becomes clear
his tools are compassion,care and love
and shown by his skil...

each dawns deliverance
seeking me out
seeping in through tiredly drawn curtains
yet while innocent in itself
it is obliged to carry disenchanted ghosts
of all I was,all I could have been
only nights soft armoury
of slumbering shadows
can bring reprieve

she was in the lounge dozing in front the box.
me? in my usual role at that time of night-pot washer-
through the half opened door I could have sworn I heard her say
-I love you! -I love you! -I love you!
my tears welled up and fell onto the food remnants
I was trying to poke down the plug-hole.
maybe she was just unusually paying me in kindness
for having painte...

N.J. and all that
reports are coming in
that whist attending a Dallas murder scene
a police officer spotted a dyed blonde hair
on the window sill of a book depository
which she sent to forensics lab.
unfortunately it was later mislaid.
in addition to this the officer also reported-
a black mercedes passing at speed
followed by a white fiat
bearing the number plate L I Z-MI6
