Freshman Griffin Clark's 75 took medalist honors in the 2009 Central Region Golf Tournament, held at Meadowbrook Country Club last Tuesday. Clark will lead the Knights into the Central Region Tournament, where he will be one of a handful of players favored to earn medalist honors. The only freshman on the senior-laden team, Clark is the son of Petersburg CC Head
Professional Kenny Clark. Although he has had a golf club in his hands from the time he could stand, Griffin has only seriously played the game for two years. "I have had very little tournament experience until this year. This summer's Honda Tour really helped me prepare for the high school season," says Clark. He also enjoys basketball and will be trying out for Dale's JV squad next month.
Another important cog in the Knights' machine was Buddy Donnelly. Thomas Dale's number-five golfer has proven to be a thorn in the Warriors' side each of the last two weeks. In the regular season finale against Matoaca, Buddy fired a one under par 34 to seal the Knights' victory. This week, his 78 was good for a third-place finish and helped seal the deal for the regular season champions. "I couldn't let you beat us," chided Donnelly to this reporter.
Tyler Hancock continued his consistent ways in leading Matoaca to its third straight runner-up finish in the district tournament. His 77 was good for the tournament's silver medal. Matoaca's Michael Romig and Dinwiddie's Viviana Perez were the only other players to break 80 on the cool, blustery day. They each carded 79.

At the request of The Home Depot Center pool reporter, referee Ricardo Salazar issued a response for his decision to award a straight red card to Chivas USA defender Joaquin Velasquez for a foul on LA Galaxy midfielder Colin Clark in the 40th minute of Sunday's SuperClasico.
The referee awarded four yellow cards (three to LA and one to Chivas) and called 30 fouls (22 for Civas and eight for the Galaxy).
Salazar's statement is below...
"On the foul committed by Joaquin Velazquez, was deemed by the referee as serious foul play; therefore the referee showed him the red card and sent him off."
You make the call: was Ricardo Salazar just to award a straight red card to Joaquin Velazquez for a challenge on Colin Clark in the 40th minute.
Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comments section below...
CARSON, Calif. -- Robbie Keane has been named to Ireland's squad for their upcoming World Cup Qualifiers against Sweden in Stockholm on March 22 and Austria in Dublin on March 26.
This call-up will cause the Galaxy captain to miss the club's match against the Colorado Rapids on March 23. Keane will travel to Ireland after Sunday's SuperClasico match up against Chivas USA.
The complete Ireland squad is below...
David Forde, Keiren Westwood, Darren Randolph, John O'Shea, Sean St Ledger, Ciaran Clark, Marc Wilson, Seamus Coleman, Stephen Kelly, Darren O'Dea, Glenn Whelan, James McCarthy, Paul Green, Wes Hoolahan, Jeff Hendrick, James McClean, Andy Keogh, Robbie Brady, Robbie Keane, Shane Long, Conor Sammon, Jon Walters, Simon Cox.
CARSON, Calif. -- The SuperClasico is upon us.
Before you begin your pregame preparations, check out my look ahead to the game...
*The conversations are far less cordial this week between the LA Galaxy and the Chivas USA players in the halls of The Home Depot Center...actually, there are no conversations at all.
*There will be plenty of mystery and tension ahead of this year's SuperClasico.
*Could Tommy Meyer play a role in the SuperClasico? If he is called upon, he thinks that he will be ready.
*Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena offered his thoughts on colorful new Chivas USA manager Jose Luis Sanchez Sola also known as "Chelis."
*LAGalaxy.com writer Larry Morgan provided this preview to the game.
*Lastly my Three Points to the game.
JUNINHO/MARCELO SARVAS vs. OSWALDO MINDA/EDGAR MEJIA
The most important battle of the game -- in my opinion -- will come down to which midfield is able to set the tempo. Will it be the Galaxy's possession-oriented Brazilians or Chivas' rough-and-tumble midfielders in Minda and Mejia, who will look to create frustrate the Galaxy early on with their physical play. Ultimately, if the Galaxy is able to hold possession and avoid getting drawn into a physical battle, they should be able to control the midfield.
ROBBIE KEANE vs. CHIVAS BACK LINE
Keane will have a significant advantage matching up against 37-year-old center back Joaquin Velasquez, but it will be up to LA's flank players to open up space for the Irishman to operate. Expect the Galaxy to use their width to stretch Chivas' back line and open up space for Keane up front. If the Irishman gets that space, then he may put Chivas' goalkeeper Dan Kennedy under considerable pressure.
OMAR GONZALEZ vs. JUAN AGUDELO
Agudelo enjoyed one of his best games in a Chivas USA uniform in Chivas' 3-1 win over FC Dallas last week, but he'll a much larger test this week in Omar Gonzalez. The Galaxy center back has been in form as of late and did well to wrap up Costa Rican leading scorer Yendrick Ruiz during LA's CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals series against C.S. Herediano. Against Agudelo, Gonzalez's height and physicality will be needed as he looks to stifle the speedy Agudelo.
GALAXY: Cudicini; DeLaGarza, Gonzalez, Leonardo, Dunivant; Franklin, Sarvas, Juninho, Magee; Villarreal, Keane
CHIVAS USA: Kennedy; de Luna, Velasquez, Burling, Courtois; Bolanos, Mejia, Minda, Avila; Agudelo, Correa
Share your thoughts below.
The LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC may have a little schedule relief in their future as they prepare for the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals according to MLS Commissioner Don Garber.
When speaking to reporters at Red Bull Arena during the halftime of Saturday's scoreless draw between D.C. United and the New York Red Bulls, Garber said that the league is looking for a way to relieve schedule congestion on LA and Seattle.
"We are talking about having a schedule change to provide Seattle and LA a little more of a window," Garber said. "We haven't talked about that publicly yet, but we're trying to make that work."
Seattle opens their series against Santos Laguna on April 2 at CenturyLink Field while the Galaxy begin their own series against Monterrey on April 3 at The Home Center. A week later, Seattle travels Estadio Corona for the second leg on while Monterrey hosts LA on In between the CCL series, the Galaxy will host the Montreal Impact on April 6 while the Sounders host Chivas USA on April 7.
Currently the Galaxy's next six matches are as follows:
3/17 vs. Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center
3/22 vs. Colorado Rapids at The Home Depot Center
3/30 vs. Toronto FC at BMO Field in Toronto, Canada
4/3 vs. C.F. Monterrey at The Home Depot Center
4/6 vs. Montreal Impact at The Home Depot Center
4/9 vs. C.F. Monterrey at Estadio Tecnológico in Monterrey, Mexico
One of the most colorful traditions of the SuperClasico, the BarraClasico -- a series of matches between the LA Galaxy Supporters Groups and Chivas USA Supporters -- ended in a pair of wins for the Galaxy groups on Saturday.
The first match featured the LA Riot Squad defeated the Black Army 1850 4-0 spearheaded by a hat-trick performance from Andres Arzate-Engels and a goal from Nate Herraro.
In the nightcap, the Angel City Brigade defeated the Union Ultras 3-1 as Michael Gray bagged two goals while Jonathan Cory Gray rounded out the scoring for the ACB.
CARSON, Calif. -- The SuperClasico match up between the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA is always a spirited affair and Sunday's match will be no different.
My "Three Points" to the SuperClasico are below...
CARSON,Calif. – Tensions will be high when the SuperClasico kicks off on Sunday, but what has the mood been like this week around The Home Depot Center?
I provided this piece on the banter –or lack thereof—around The HDC this week.
But what do the Galaxy expect from a Chivas USA side that underwent a significant reformatting during the offseason? That remains to be seen.
"Our meetings have been sort of 'We don't know what formation they're playing' and 'They've been kind of hard to read,' " defender Omar Gonzalez said. "They won their last game, but having said that, I don't think Dallas had their best game. It's a whole bunch of new players, a new coach, and so we're really just going in there not blind, but, you know, unsure."
Although Chivas are something of a mystery, one thing is for sure, the Galaxy will be in for a battle.
"We're not sure to what to expect. There's a lot of guys that we're not sure of and the coach is obviously an animated guy who is definitely going to get his team up for this game," said Mike Magee. "We're definitely well-aware that this is a pretty big game for them and we can't take it lightly."
LAGalaxy.com videographer Paolo Ferrari caught up with LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, captain Robbie Keane and center back Omar Gonzalez to preview Sunday's SuperClasico after Friday's training session.
Check out the video below..
CARSON, Calif. – Ever steadily, LA Galaxy center back Tommy Meyer is approaching his return to the field.
A nagging left hamstring injury caused Meyer to miss the final three matches of the preseason as well as Galaxy's home opener against the Chicago Fire and the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals against C.S. Herediano, but Meyer began his return to the field this week. First, the 22-year-old returned to full training on Monday and then two days later, he was on the substitutes' bench for the Galaxy's 4-1 second leg victory over Herediano.
After spending several weeks on the sidelines, the chance to return to the bench on Wednesday, left Meyer pleased, but eager to get back on the field.
"You kind of feel like you've got to step back when you're injured. It's a little different to sit in the stands watching, but it's definitely nice to be out on the bench and if I was needed then I was able to play," said Meyer. "Everything is going well. I'm getting back into the training and starting to get fitness back so the past week has been good."
With the Galaxy currently preparing for their fourth game in 15 days, Meyer is an option to see the field in Sunday's SuperClasico against Chivas USA after center backs Omar Gonzalez, Leonardo, and A.J. DeLaGarza have logged heavy minutes in recent matches.
If called upon, Meyer admits that his hamstring is currently at 100 percent, but the center back knows that he'll have to earn his way back on the starting lineup.
"You just have to be ready. I'm not sure that [Bruce Arena is] ready to put me in yet, but I'm sure that I'll be in the 18 [on Sunday], hopefully, as soon as I get minutes in practice then I might get closer," said Meyer. "You never know. I'd like to [play] if I need to be used at some point, it'll be great, but if not, then I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities."

Education and Outreach Options in Fusion and Plasma Physics
Education and outreach activities are discussed each year in meetings and a poster session during the annual meeting of the Division of Plasma Physics of the American Physical Society, and a network of committed outreach people is evolving. In addition to the links here on FusEdWeb, there is a "National Education Outreach" page which lists many of the activities here in the U.S.
This page is more theoretical and provides a high-level analytical framework
for evaluating various options for education and outreach in the areas of
fusion and plasma physics. The question is, how can we
General Classification of Education/Outreach Activities:
Education and Outreach Opportunities can be classified in several ways, such as according to Scale, Audience, Presenter and Medium. Within each classification there are many ways one can disseminate information. It is probably worth considering the means at your disposal and then asking what approach will best achieve your goals. The following classification scheme may be useful:
- Scale: How many people does the effort reach, and over what geography?
- Individual? (Reaches one or a few people.)
- Group? (Several people at once, such as a class.)
- Local? (Communities near labs or universities.)
- National? (Many people across the country.)
- International?
- Audience: What sort of person does the effort reach?
- Everyone?
- Pre-school students?
- Elementary School students?
- High School students?
- College students?
- Teachers?
- Physicists?
- Other Scientists?
- Engineers?
- Technicians?
- Speaker/Author/Presenter: Who makes the effort to reach out?
- Teacher?
- Government Official?
- Physicist?
- Engineer?
- Technician?
- Non-technical Lab Staff?
- Interested Lay Person?
- Student?
- Medium: What is the means for the outreach?
- Personal Appearance (Talk)? (School? Organizations? Congress?)
- Printed periodical (Article)? (Newspaper, Magazine articles or ads)
- Internet? (Web, Newsgroups, Mailing Lists, Online Services)
- Museum or Other Exhibits?
- Movie or Television?
- Book?
- Mailing List?
- Music?
- Toys?
- Products: Mousepads, Coffee Cups, other goods
- Outcome: Impact per Person - how much do they learn?
- Cost: How Much Labor, Time and Money is Required?
- Resources: How much hardware, floor space, expertise, etc. is required?
- Efficiency: How much is learned per unit cost? (e.g., Efficiency = Scale * Outcome / Cost)
- Buzz Effect: how likely is it that the audience will share the message with others?
- Mobilization: does this energize others in the research community to do things themselves?
Some Specific Arenas for Education and Outreach:
Obviously the various dimensions above - scale, audience, presenter, medium, etc. - create a large "phase space" for education and outreach activities. It's impossible to exhaustively tabulate all the possible things one can do! But for starters, here's a brief list (not in any particular order). Many of these activities are actively pursued already, and it is possible to join in and help out an ongoing effort. But many are not being done at all, and one can easily break new ground.
- Science Museums:
- Develop a large exhibit that can travel around each year.
- Develop smaller permanent exhibits that can remain behind after the large exhibit is done. (In collaboration with the museum, so we provide technical info, and they make what they like.)
- Develop a fusion videotape walking people through one of these exhibits
- Create an interactive multimedia computer program (virtual museum).
- Lab = Museum: Have different labs share materials and maintain substantial permanent exhibits at labs, and give tours.
- Introductory Science classes for young students
- Continuing-education classes for adults
- Presentations to technical societies
- Lab tours
- Cooperative work in communities near labs
- Informal outreach when we meet with people and discuss what we do.
- News media (news articles)
- Documentaries (TV, movie)
- Books, bookstores
- Computer Network discussion forums
- Internet Newsgroups: Sci.physics.fusion, sci.energy, sci.environment, sci.physics, sci.research, sci.physics.plasma
- Internet FAQs: sci.answers, news.answers, archives, etc.
- World Wide Web (lists of Web sites exist)
- Prodigy, Compuserve, America Online chat rooms, etc.
- Energy, environment, public policy journals/forums
- Congress / Washington
- Grassroots political organizations
- Opinion media (op-ed articles, letters to editor, etc.)

My own BADASS display (Part 2) |
One thing I noticed as I meandered my way around the EE Live! 2014 exhibition floor was the fact that there were flashing LED displays all over the place. In particular, EETimes Community Editor Caleb Craft had created a very tasty "Applause-O-Meter" display for us to judge the winner in our Gadget Smackdown sessions.

In "Virtue Ethics," a Tapestry of Faith program
Youth role play scenarios involving ethical dilemmas.
Instead of discussing the dilemmas, as they have done in previous workshops, invite the youth to role play them. Seek volunteers to enact both dilemmas. Let the volunteers decide on roles, and give them five minutes to rehearse. Have the youth present two role plays for each scenario: one demonstrating respect and one demonstrating disrespect. Ask them to keep each role play under two minutes. Encourage the actors to be as dramatic as they like and, if they wish, to add layers to the dilemmas as written.
While the actors rehearse, open the floor for responses to the dilemmas. Ask participants if this reminds them of other dilemmas they have encountered or heard of, real or fictional. For each dilemma, ask "How could respect play a part in this dilemma?"
Conduct the role plays. Thank the actors. Discuss what participants liked about the respectful solutions.

steelydan0613 Posts: 144I agree, the Michelins are great, I'm sure there are other brands, such as Goodyear out there, but what I wouldn't do to a nice vehicle as this is put "house brand" tires on , you don't know where that will go......
The one complaint I have with the Michelins is that they seem a little noisy on some road surfaces at speed, but that could be a Pacifica issue. The car is so quiet, that all I hear on the freeway in Houston are the tires at 60 mph plus. And only on some road surfaces......
The key is tire rotation every 6,000 miles with proper tire pressure. I should hit 50,000 miles easily with their appearance at 29,000 miles........ -
thimmaker Posts: 33I have the original Michelins on mine with 62,000 and starting to look for new tires. The Dealer or Sears both get $950.00 for comparable Michelins installed and balanced. The comparable Goodrich tires with a similiar tread and 70,000 mile rating run around $520.00 at Sears. Anybody have any problems with Goodrich tires? If anything, i'll bet their quieter than those noisy Michelins and your right, thats all you hear at 60.
fljoslin Posts: 237I will bet the Michelins will be quieter than the Goodrich and will ride more smoothly and handle better.
Also, the Sears price seems high. I was quoted $180 + tax per tire, balanced and installed at Costco for the 235/65/R17 Michelins on my wife's 2005 Pacifica Touring. That works out to $720 + tax. -
pssimon Posts: 143I'll add to the tire replacement discussion
From what I have seen, there are two options. Either the original Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus tires or the Goodyear Fortera Triple Tred.
Here is how they stack up:
Treadwear: Michelin 400, Goodyear 600
Dry traction: Michelin 10, Goodyear, 10
Wet Traction: Michelin 8, Goodyear 10
Snow Traction: Michelin 8, Goodyear 10
Quiet Ride: Michelin 10, Goodyear 8
Each seems to have thier own strengths. Being not too worried about the snow traction, it comes down to wear, Wet and noise. Seems like Goodyear has it over Michelin. Am I missing something?
Admittedly, my Michelins have lasted these 54K miles, at a rating of 400. Does that mean the Goodyears would last even longer?
Does anyone have any experience with these Goodyear tires? All thoughts appreciated.....

fred222 Posts: 200Curious.... what do you define as "great price"?
They aren't cheap!
We purchased a 2005 Pacifica in Sept 2004. At that time I priced the OEM Michelin Tires (Pilot 235/65/R17 I believe) at the local Costco. $180 each mounted with lifetime warranty. I do not know how much they are now. -

fred222 Posts: 200The Goodyear Fortera's are excellent tires.
I believe that Goodyear means good for one year. I have owned Goodyear tires twice and have been burned twice.
One set did not even last a year and I am talking about driving standard miles. Another set crapped out at 20,000 miles. Unsafe to drive. If Goodyear gave me tires for free, I would not put them on any of my vehicles. -
slb351 Posts: 2I just bought a used 2005 AWD Touring Addition. It has 23,000 miles the rims are pitted badly on the lip on all 4 rims. I mentioned this to my salesmen at the Chrysler dealship, he said and I quote "this is a problem with these rims cause they are not chromed around the lip", he continued to say "that if my wife and I complain enough we would be able to get a free set of rims from Chrysler". Before I continue I must say my wife is a complainer extraordinar Chrysler is not going to know what hit them. Does anyone else have this issue and has anyone complained to Chrysler and if so have they done anything about it.
Steve -
pssimon Posts: 143I ended up going with the original Michelins as well. I wanted the Goodyears.... they were rated as better in wet AND dry situations as well as quieter... but I couldn't justify the extra $200+ it would have cost me.
I wanted to buy American (Goodyear is the only American tire company left) but they priced themselves out of my range.
Oh well.... the Michelins will do their job.

04pacman Posts: 23Help please. I recently discovered that going 10mph was to fast for the conditions and ran into a curb going around a corner. I hit the curb on the front driver's side hard enough to break the wheel. Found out that Chrysler is very proud of their wheels, $460.00 for wheel only. I ordered a new wheel and had it installed. Now I'm feeling a vibration when driving around 55-60 mph. it's not consistent almost like there might be a warped rotor or something similar. Any thoughts as to what I should be looking for? I'm mechanically inclined but only used to working on older Chevy trucks not newer SUV's. I'm going to have the alignment done this week, had to schedule an appointment, just don't want too many more surprises.
qbrozen Posts: 17,844It really could be a number of things. If you hit hard enough to brake the wheel, chances are you did more damage than that. Could be a tie rod, wheel bearing, rotor, another wheel that maybe hit and you didn't realize it, maybe the new one wasn't balanced correctly, etc. See what the alignment turns up and go from there.

arlenjameson Posts: 3I'm about to try a set of Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread.
Has anyone tried these? My service advisor recommended them for this area (midwest). I checked all I could find on Goodyear's sight. I've had good experiences with Goodyear tires on previous cars, so I will give them a try. The tires have an 80,000 mile warranty and I will be getting them from the dealership for $150 per tire. -

text: Technological advances and globalization, economic and demographic changes, and pressures from state and federal policies are challenging school board members' ability to effectively lead their districts. This emerging leadership climate points to three important components of a school board's responsibility. First, boards must focus the work of the district. One of the most powerful effects school boards can have on their districts is to center their activity and conversations on student achievement. Second, school boards must consider communication strategies that invite the community to dialogue with them and become productively involved in meeting the challenges facing the district. Finally, school boards that spend time on their own development stand a better chance of creating conditions that foster student success.

I asked Ed Stetzer, president of LifeWay Research and author and co-author of several books, including Planting Missional Churches and Transformational Church, how would he advise pastors to approach a "one time" sermon.
I remember the first time I preached a sermon, though it's unlikely anyone else does. In fact, I'm actually relieved that no record remains of its existence. I was asked to preach one time and, like many other first-time preachers, I brought everything I knew into that message. It was long, painful, and scattered---but a kind group of older adults not only invited me to preach, they also patiently sat through my message---though they never asked me back.
Preaching a stand-alone message can be tricky. For me, they generally fall in between sermon series (as I much prefer to preach) or when I am invited somewhere as a guest preacher.
Sometimes, as a guest preacher you are part of a series. For example, at one church, I simply continued the series (though I was a little bitter with the passage I was assigned). This isn't too difficult---you listen to a few messages before, tie in to those, and help the pastor along the way.
However, it's harder when you are the guest preacher with a single topic. I think you can go about it in two legitimate ways.
1. Preach a text on a topic.
2. Preach a topic with texts.
Preaching a Text on a Topic
A message is supposed to be grounded in the text, but text-based messages can still become exegetically irresponsible if we force a theme onto a text when it really does not fit. For example, if you are preaching on "motherhood" on Mother's Day, it might be better to connect with multiple texts rather than preach a text that touches on motherhood and you make it all about motherhood.
So when preaching a text on a topic, you need to be careful that you don't let the topic mold the text. Rather, the text, if appropriate, will inform and mold your approach to the topic. However, approaching a message in this way means it may look somewhat different from a standard expositional treatment of the passage. If I am preaching a text on a topic, I do not tell everything I would in a verse-by-verse exposition. Instead, I talk about how this verse undergirds the topic, but also that it addresses more than this topic. I say that, but I do not explain that. The topic will limit, to a certain degree, what I unpack from the passage.
For example, when I filled in at another church, I preached from the text, 1 Peter 4:8-11, on "Engaging all God's People in Mission." When I preach a one-week message, after all the study and preparation I wind up leaving a lot on my desk that I don't take with me into the pulpit. Your text will always say more than what you have to say and that's okay. Just ensure that what you do say is faithful to that text.
Preaching a Topic with Texts
On the other hand, one can also responsibly preach a topic with texts.
I recently returned from a church where my job was to encourage people to "live sent." I preached a topic with a few texts. The topic was how we might live as the sent people of Jesus. The texts (as well as the title) were the "Sendings of Jesus." These commissions included John 20:21, Matthew 28:18-20, Luke 24:46-48, and Acts 1:8.
The principles are actually the same. I wound up leaving a lot on my desk, but I worked hard to be faithful in what I brought with me to preach.
Or, once when I preached, the theme was the "seven last words of Jesus." My assignment was forgiveness. My assigned topic was not just that Jesus forgave, but how it affects what God has called us to do. Thus, I made it clear in the title: "Forgiveness: It's Who God Is, It's Why Jesus Came, and It's What Christians Do."
I believe it's easier to be thorough and responsible with the text when you preach through a series. If you are preaching through a book (as I am right now at my church), it is simply following the arguments, themes, and stories of the author. If you are preaching doctrinally or thematically, you can bring the whole counsel of God to a topic by being faithful to what the scripture teaches in its multiple mentions of the topic.
However, you simply cannot be as thorough in a one-shot message.
So, here is what I try to do:
- Never use verses in way that would result in the apostle Paul (or Moses, Jesus, etc.) to say, "Whoa, that was not my point."
- Don't share everything you know---leave some things on your desk and tell people you are doing so.
- Don't preach a single message like a series---you can't do it well. Single messages have limitations and you have to live with them.
- Point people to Jesus. Don't simply leave them with commands, lead them to the promises of God in Jesus.
I should end with my bias. I don't like single messages. I prefer a series because I find I can present a clearer picture of scriptural teaching on an issue. But do not despise the single message---nobody ever preaches a series in the Bible, and we don't see it much until John Chrysostom in the fourth/fifth century after Christ.
Be faithful with the small things . . . even the small sermons.

My cat has been my companion for 9 years. She's a rescue kitty, and I had to bottle-feed her since her eyes weren't even open yet so we've always had a special bond. She is very y affectionate but only with my husband and myself. We've seen her through getting spayed, surgery to remove bladder stones and most recently diabetes (a shot of insulin, twice a day). She's gotten through it all and is perfectly healthy and happy... And then she swallowed about 1.5-2 feet of embroidery floss this morning. I called the vet- we induced her right away but she was not able to bring up the string. So we are in a waiting game. Either she will be able to pass it without issue, or she will show signs of being in pain and we will have to take her in for emergency surgery. She is acting perfectly normal (if a bit confused by all the extra attention and tears) but I know it can take several days for either scenario to occur. Basically I am just a nervous wreck, wallowing in my own guilt and checking on her every 5 minutes. And reading horror stories on the internet (mistake). I don't even know why I'm posting this here, except I think I just want someone to tell me everything will be okay. Thanks for reading. |

Sorry to read about kitty. If it helps, our nutty cat Zorro has a thing for mylar ribbon. He can sniff it out and find it anywhere in the house. He managed to find several feet of it, chewed it up as fast as he could. Some he threw up, but the rest we had to wait on. We gave him extra gravy covered canned food to help the process along. We were very worried too, but in the end...it all came out. |
- Posted by Don_in_Colorado (My Page) on Sun, Apr 20, 14 at 23:19
That sounds very scary, and I don't blame you one bit for being worried sick. I'm not patronizing you when I say I think she'll be OK. Even if, God forbid, she does have to have surgery, remember, cats are SUPER tough and extremely resilient, as you well know. Nothing is ever certain, of course, but there IS a great chance she'll pass it normally. Not that it makes you feel any better at the moment. Since you know what she ate and are being vigilant about watching her, that is a big, big plus. Hang in there, I know you'll get no rest until she passes the embroidery floss, and as a fellow cat lover, I totally understand that. I wouldn't either, if she were one of my cats. She'll be OK. Please let us know how everything is going. Best regards, |
- Posted by ladybrowncoat (My Page) on Sun, Apr 20, 14 at 23:34
Thanks for the support!! Kippy, I gave her the special canned food she likes but we don't give her all the time because it's gravy-licious, so it sounds like that was a good call. Don, it really does help to be reminded of how resilient cats are. I am worried sick but I am hopeful. |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Sun, Apr 20, 14 at 23:42
That same thing happened to my cat about 20 years ago. He ate a red ribbon that was wrapped around a gift and we didn't know it. On Christmas Eve he was showing signs of distress and we had to rush him to the emergency room. They performed surgery to remove the ribbon which was in his intestine. When we went in to pick him up a few days later, the vet handed us the red ribbon in a little plastic baggie. We actually used red ribbon in the baggie as a Christmas ornament for many years to come. That cat went on to live a very long life indeed! Monitor your cat carefully and the moment he shows any signs of distress get him to the vet. If he doesn't pass the thread in a day or so, an x-ray should be able to show where it is and what it's doing. I never used another Christmas ribbon after that happened. |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 0:13
Are you positive she swallowed it, sure you didn't throw it away or something? I had a similar experience when the cat ate a piece of yarn. I checked her poop and found it had passed! Whew, I could barely sleep I was so worried. You know that if you see it exiting, don't pull, right? I agree the above poster that everything will be ok, but let's hope she just passes it. |
- Posted by christine1950 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 8:15
Thoughts & prayers for your kitty, my sisters dog once ate a Popsicle,stick & all and 3 days later it came out, hope that makes you feel a little better,animals are pretty amazing. I would think the stomach acids will make it dissolve. Keep us posted Christine |
Ladybrowncoat - I understand completely the anxiety you are feeling. We're cat people ourselves, our kitties all being rescues and/or ferals, descendants decades back of farm cats left to fend for themselves as all the farms gradually disappeared. I bottle-fed one myself, and have treated sickness and wounds on many others. As Don said, they are very tough, and how fortunate (though more anxious for you) that you know what happened and can make a speedy response if you notice any problems developing. But, I bet everything will be fine. - Alex |
- Posted by ladybrowncoat (My Page) on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 12:57
jerzeegirl- Aw, glad your kitty made it through! I think weŌĆÖre going to have to avoid ribbons and such in the future, as well. socks- Unfortunately we are positive she swallowed it :( And yeah, the vet has stressed not to pull. I canŌĆÖt believe IŌĆÖm typing this sentence, but I hope I find thread in my kittyŌĆÖs poop, too! Ha. christine- A whole popsicle?! ThatŌĆÖs impressive. The vet does seem hopeful she will be able to at least partially digest the thread since itŌĆÖs organic. Fingers crossed! samhain- Thanks! I do tend to think of her as fragile, because of all her issues, but youŌĆÖre right - I have to remember that she has gotten through every one of her health setbacks and is thriving now. Thank you all so much for your support! Your kind responses were the last thing I read before a fitful nightŌĆÖs sleep, and the first thing I saw this morning. They are helping me to stay hopeful. The vet has been wonderful- he is not her usual vet but he looked at her history and all and called me today to check on her! In case anyone else has this issue: He says the thing to look for is vomiting with consistent timing after eating or drinking. As in, if she vomits 25 minutes after eating, every time she eats, then likely itŌĆÖs hitting an obstruction on the way down. He says not to bring her in for x-rays unless that happens or we see signs of distress, since if we bring her in it will put her off her food and we wonŌĆÖt know if issues are from that or the string. We are to encourage her to eat and drink as much as possible (apparently heating canned food until it is, and I quote, ŌĆ£mushy and really stinkyŌĆØ is a way to entice reluctant kitties to eat). He is quite optimistic she will be able to pass it, as she has had an appetite last night and today, is still active and has had a bowel movement (but no thread, darn it!). Again, thank you all so much. The kindness of strangers on the internet is a wonderful thing! |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 16:10
Sounds good so far. As you said, since it probably is all cotton, maybe it will just be digested and you will never know! I cannot describe how happy I was when I found that formerly blue yarn in my kitty's poop and hope you get to have that same thrill! |
My dog ate a cellophane wrapper from a packaged round steak. I did not know she ate it until she threw it up. Boy was I surprised. I was very careful about what I put in the trash after that. She also ate a suction cup off of one the darts my son's played with. She did not pass that with out help. I had to take her in for the reg worm check when the vet discovered it. She would never have passed it by herself because it had swelled up with all the moisture. I was very young and was not aware that you had to watch over a pet the same as a toddler. |
- Posted by glaserberl (My Page) on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 18:24
One of our four cats eats shoe laces as soon as he can get to it. We try to keep all shoes away from him but sometimes he is faster than we think. Over the last couple years he has probably eaten a couple feet. He has also eaten holes in several blankets. One of the other cats throws up on a blanket and he "cleans" it up and keeps eating. Of course that only happens when we are not home. I'm always worried but so far he digested everything. He must have extremely strong stomach juices. Most likely your cat will be OK. |
- Posted by ladybrowncoat (My Page) on Thu, Apr 24, 14 at 18:41
I found thread!!!!!!!!!!! Never been so happy to see poo in my life.The string was in pieces, and very brittle, so it looks like she's partly digested it (TMI? ha ha!) so hopefully she's in the clear. SO relieved!! |
That great! Thank God!! My cat's used to eat tinsel off of the Christmas tree. |
- Posted by Don_in_Colorado (My Page) on Thu, Apr 24, 14 at 20:15
Very glad to hear that, Ladybrowncoat! Now, get some sleep, eh? : ) Don B. |
Thank goodness! We went through a similar incident after our first Christmas with our kitty. We no longer use ribbon on our presents. They might look a little boring but she can't be trusted! |
Hurrah! Only another couple of weeks off your life - LOL! Thanks for letting us know. |
I'm happy it all worked out in the end. ;-) |
- Posted by socks12345 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 16:33
No, not TMI, Lady. I know exactly how you feel! Whew, you got through that one OK. I'm so glad. |
So happy to hear it came out.. I was almost afraid to open this. |

I bought a box of sulpomag to fertilize our in-ground plumeria but have some reservations on applying it because of the possible health risks it may have on our two outdoor cats. I planned on topdressing (up to 3 cups and then well watered-in) with sulpomag vs. tilling only because the ground is rock hard and near impossible to till. As any cat owners will know, cats groom their fur and paws constantly and I fear they could ingest or get some of the sulfur in their eyes after hanging around the fertilized area. I was told that it takes about 2 weeks for the stuff to start breaking down and penetrating into the soil and that sulfur can be very harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the mucus membranes in the eyes. I'm not sure how concentrated sulfur is in sulpomag but I want to know if I have a real cause for concern here. Thank you all for your time! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know the quantities are significant enough to cause problems but I am not experienced in the use of Sulpomag. In the absence of direct knowledge; is it possible to set up some sort of temporary barrier? Not much will stop a cat that wants to get into something but normally you can unmotiviate them from going to that specific spot. |
What info I could find online suggests it should be Alright to use this product, if used properly. However, I've never used this product myself. :) So I cannot speak from personal knowledge. Just from researching it. ~Tina |
You could also use a sprinkler head with a motion sensor. It turns on when there is movement in front of te sensor and turns off within 1 or 2 seconds. They are sensitive enough to pick up a cat at distances less than 15 feet. |
Thanks for your wonderful suggestions and advice! So far I'm leaning towards the temporary barrier idea; it'll keep those curious paws and noses from the treated area. Maybe plastic tarp weighted down with a few heavy rocks should do the trick? The plumeria canopy keeps the root zone pretty shaded so hopefully I won't inadvertently solarize the soil underneath. Thanks again everyone! |

Power Consumption Tests
Using our new PROVA Power Analyzer WM-01 or "Power Thingy" as it has become quickly known as to our readers, we are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a 7,200RPM SATA-II single hard drive is used without CD ROM or many cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Power draw on the HD 5830 isn't great and on the GB one it's even worse since the card doesn't move into 2D clocks when idle. This may be an issue for some, while for others it won't bother them.

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 A psalm of David. Blessed be my Lord God, that teacheth mine hands to war; and my fingers to battle. (A song of David. Blessed be the Lord my God, who traineth my hands for war; and my fingers for battle.) | 1 Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. |
2 My mercy, and my refuge; my taker up, and my deliverer. My defender, and I hoped in him; and thou makest subject my people under me. (My mercy, and my refuge; my defender, and my deliverer. Yea, my defender, and in whom I trust; and thou makest the peoples to be subject under me.) | 2 He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me. |
3 Lord, what is a man, for thou hast made (thyself) known to him; either the son of man, for thou areckonest him of some value? (Lord, what is man, that thou hast taken notice of him?/that thou carest for him? or the son of a man, that thou reckonest, or esteemest, him of some value?) | 3 O LORD, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him? |
4 A man is made like vanity; his days pass as shadow. (A person is but like vanity, yea, but a puff of air; his days pass like a shadow.) | 4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow. |
5 Lord, bow down thine heavens, and come thou down; touch thou [the] hills, and they shall make smoke. | 5 Part your heavens, O LORD, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke. |
6 Light thou shining, and thou shalt scatter them (Send thou forth thy lightning, and thou shalt scatter thy enemies); send thou out thine arrows, and thou shalt trouble them. | 6 Send forth lightning and scatter [the enemies]; shoot your arrows and rout them. |
7 Send out thine hand from on high, ravish me out, and deliver thou me from many waters; and from the hand of alien sons. (Send out thy hand from on high, and take me out of here, that is, rescue me; save thou me from the deep waters, and from the power of foreigners, or of strangers.) | 7 Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners |
8 The mouth of whom spake vanity (Their mouths spoke lies); and the right hand of them is the right hand of wickedness. | 8 whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful. |
9 God, I shall sing to thee a new song; I shall say psalm to thee in psaltery of ten strings (yea, I shall sing a song to thee to the strains of a ten-stringed lute). | 9 I will sing a new song to you, O God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you, |
10 Which givest health to kings, which again-boughtest David, thy servant; from the wicked sword ravish thou out me. (Who givest salvation, or deliverance, to kings, and redeemest thy servant David; rescue thou me from the wicked sword.) | 10 to the One who gives victory to kings, who delivers his servant David from the deadly sword. |
11 And deliver thou me from the hand of alien sons; the mouth of which spake vanity, and the right hand of them is the right hand of wickedness. (And save thou me from the power of foreigners, or of strangers; whose mouths spoke lies, and whose right hands be the right hands of wickedness, that is, they always break their oaths, or their pledges.) | 11 Deliver me and rescue me from the hands of foreigners whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful. |
12 Whose sons be as new plantings in their youth. The daughters of them be arrayed; adorned about as the likeness of a temple. (May our sons be like plants fully grown in their youth; may our daughters be arrayed, or adorned, like a palace.) | 12 Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace. |
13 The cellars of them be full; bringing out from this vessel into that/from one vessel into another. The sheep of them be with lambs, plenteous in their goings out; (May our cellars be full; and we be able to bring forth from this vessel into that one/and we be able to bring forth from one vessel into another. May our sheep be with lambs; yea, plentiful and innumerable.) | 13 Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields; |
14 their kine be fat. There is no falling of their wall, neither passing over (of it); neither cry is in the streets of them. (May all our kine be fat; and be there no parting in the walls of their wombs, nor any passing over of them. And may there be no cries of distress in all our streets.) | 14 our oxen will draw heavy loads. There will be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets. |
15 They said, The people is blessed, that hath these things; blessed is the people, whose Lord is the God of it. (And so we say, Happy be the people, who have things like we do; happy be the people, whose God is the Lord.) | 15 Blessed are the people of whom this is true; blessed are the people whose God is the LORD. |

Boy, 16, crushed to death by brick wall; two teens charged with trespassing
BY STEVE METSCH firstname.lastname@example.com August 20, 2014 10:36AM
The Lombard Co. in Alsip is pictured Wednesday morning, hours after a 16-year-old boy was found fatally crushed between two brick walls at the construction business, according to police. | Steve Metsch/Sun-Times Media
Updated: September 22, 2014 12:26PM
One of three teenagers who were trying to steal metal rods at an Alsip construction business died early Wednesday when 34,000-pound concrete and brick panels fell and pinned him, police said.
The boy was identified as Dallas Harden, 16, of the 4300 block of West Park Lane in Alsip, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Two 15-year-olds who were with Harden were charged with criminal trespass and released to their parents, police said.
The accident happened at The Lombard Co., 4245 W. 123rd St. The panels that pinned the teen were precast concrete clad with brick, according to the company.
Authorities found Harden pinned and not breathing about 2:35 a.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
When Chris Wright, a friend of Harden, heard later Wednesday morning that Harden had died, he was so shocked that he ran shirtless and in his socks for several blocks to the apartment where Harden lived.
"It's all over Facebook that Dallas got killed last night," said Wright, 16, of Alsip.
Wright wanted to talk to Harden's mother, who was not at the apartment when he arrived about noon. She could not be reached Wednesday for comment.
Wright said he and Harden had been friends for about four years.
"Every time, being with him was an adventure," he said. "We always had fun. There hasn't been one moment that we didn't have fun."
Harden enjoyed rap music and was pretty good at rapping, Wright said.
"Dallas was a really good guy. I just don't understand how this happened. It's horrible," he said.
A woman who said she was the aunt of one of the 15-year-olds, the boy who called 911, said her nephew told her that the boys were looking for scrap to "make money from it."
"One of the pipes came loose, and another pipe, Dallas was trying to kick it, and when he did, the wall came down on him. They tried to get the wall off them, but the wall kept coming down," she said.
Her nephew had minor injuries to his ribs, she said.
"Why put your life in danger like that? Is it an adrenaline rush to know that you all can get caught?" she said.
Alsip police Lt. Jay Miller said there's no fence around the yard, only "No trespassing" signs.
"They probably figure it's pretty hard to steal things that heavy," Miller said of the company.
The steel rods were "instrumental" in keeping the construction walls in place, and when Harden removed one or more of them, the walls fell, police said.
The Lombard Co. was established in 1956 and is involved in the construction of industrial, medical, educational, commercial and municipal projects, according to its website. In a statement, the company said it is cooperating with the police investigation into the incident and was extending condolences to Harden's family.
