Which in-line fan to go with?
Going with 48" culinarian. Have MUA installed in floor under range, with 8" supply for MUA (good enough -- 100 year old house, but some new construction addition). Was planning on running 30 feet of 10" ductwork out to my roof. The ductwork has 3 90 degree turns in it (one is after the fan). A quiet kitchen fan is important, and we'll use a muffler. Going with a modern aire infinitely variable speed 48" hood. Question is go with the fantech FKD 12XL or 10XL? THANKS! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Great choice on Modern Aire hood. The 10Xl requires a 10" duct and the 12XL a 12" duct. Simplisticly you should match the potential performance of the stove to the blower - this is done as follows: - maximum potential btu output/100=recomended cfm of the blower Typically unless the duct run is very complex we dont get into the static pressure issue and rely on btu/100 to estimate the required cfm. Once you have determined this required cfm that will indicate the size of Fantech inline blower you should use and therefore the size of duct. As a side point make sure you use the inline duct silencer - these are amazing and work on the same principle as a car exhaust muffler. There is a link below with some useful information on ducting and size etc. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Range Hood Duct technical information
Sorry I don't have time right now to look up their respective flow rates versus pressure drops, but it is worth noting that to make a 12-inch axial fan operate as well as it can with 10-inch ducting, smooth (and long) properly-contoured transitions would be needed. Even so, if the goal is for the 12XL to flow higher cfm, it will have to do so with some additional pressure drop due to the transitions. If the goal is to run at a lower tip speed for less noise, then the constant rpm fan curves would have to be consulted. kas |
The fan curves show that the 10XL with no back pressure moves about 1200 CFM. Not enough for a 48" stove. The 12" fan used with a 10" duct isn't characterized in their curves. I think you need more muscle. They have a few 10" restaurant roof blowers that move more air. And 30' of duct, a muffler and some right angles will create some pressure. I have a 24" BS range and 30" BS hood. I'm stuck with an 8" duct. The Fantech 8" axial fans can't move more than about 800 CFM. I got a BS roof squirrel cage that's supposed to move 1000CFM. I didn't have room for a muffler but it's pretty quiet. I hear a low pitched rumble under the hiss of the baffles at full speed. If I reduce it to about half speed the rumble is gone. I have about 12' of duct going straight up through the roof. |

Mar 12, 2014 2:27 PM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California water officials are planning to temporarily dam three channels on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta if California's drought persists.
Two of the barriers would be aimed at reducing freshwater outflows from the Sacramento River, allowing it to better hold back sediment that would creep in from San Francisco Bay as river flows dwindle because of the drought.
The goal of the other barrier would be to keep salinity from seeping into the central Delta.
The Sacramento Bee reports that the California Department of Water Resources is scrambling to obtain permits for the project, which could cost as much as $40 million. The goal is to place the barriers as soon as May 1.
But the plan is drawing criticism from farmers who draw irrigation water from the channels that would be dammed.

Jesse Eisenberg and Noah Baumbach May Be Having a 'Squid and the Whale' Reunion
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on May 31, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThe last time I reported on Noah Baumbach's next project, While We're Young, it was with the unfortunate news that James Franco and Cate Blanchett had been forced to drop out of the film. At the time I held out hopes that Baumbach might be able to easily replace the actors with Jesse Eisenberg and Greta Gerwig, and it's looking like at least half of my hopes and dreams are probably going to come true. While We're Young is about a couple in their forties who are feeling alienated by their normal set of friends because they haven't had any children, so they befriend a younger couple who kind of teaches them to rekindle their youth. Now that I know more about the plot of the film, having Gerwig replace Blanchett's character wouldn't make much sense age wise, but they seem to have found a different, equally awesome choice to fill her role that does work.
Culture Warrior: A Brief History of Breakup Movies
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on February 15, 2011 | Comments (1)Modern romance and the movies are arguably dependant on one another, as movies have a long history of affirming the idea(l) of the perfect relationship. Hollywood movies in particular have developed a mastery at the formula of bringing imperfect individuals together into perfect couplehood and framing marriage as the closure of all previous conflicts and difficulties. Many romance movies, thus, teach us what romance and couplehood are or, perhaps more dauntingly, what it should be. That romantic films are a staple in the box offices of commercial movie theaters to reparatory screenings or are marathon'd on television every Valentine's Day is evidence of our ritual association of considering real-life romances in fictional terms. It is rare that movies, especially Hollywood, seem to do the opposite: reflect the distinction between ideal romance and the ostensible "reality" of relationships in all their complexity, grittiness, slow development, necessary problems, and (most of all) subtlety. Perhaps the most evident turns cinema makes in this direction is in the break-up movie, that rare narrative that situates itself as a disruption from the normal mode of portraying couplehood through representing its antithesis, the dissolution of a couple. The most recent example is Blue Valentine, the great Cassavetes-style, character-driven psychodrama about a couple who continue making the wrong turns and can't make it work despite, or because, of themselves. Breakup movies from the light – (500) Days of Summer – to the heavy – Blue Valentine – often self-consciously (either by testament from the filmmaker like in […]

Get the Best Priced Renault Wiper Blade
- Fast Shipping
- 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
- Lowest Prices
Renault Replacement Wiper Blades
The Renault is known as a well-engineered car or truck but with mileage even the best-engineered cars will break down without periodic maintenance and replacement of broken parts. When you picked that Renault, you had an investment that would continue for years to come, so bolster that choice by selecting the best replacement parts. The daily drivability and skilled design that come with a high-quality car or truck are excellent reasons for remembering to use OEM and aftermarket parts of at least that value; high-quality parts don't have to cost a fortune. Renault makes award-winning automobiles, and they are commonly observed on roads in the United States.
On occasion you need to buy an auto part for safety awareness or functional reasons, and sometimes it's something for amusement; either way, acquire the highest level of quality you're able to swing. In the event that your car or truck has problems, the sensible plan is getting a new high performance OEM or replacement component to preserve your car in optimum condition. Some find that the hardest thing about fixing a vehicle is the need to find a dependable source for quality parts. Excellent parts and accessories are necessary to keep your car in great condition whatever the conditions. Wiper Blades are used to push condensation and road sludge off of the car or truck's windshield glass. The purpose of Wiper Blades is to increase the driver's view, particularly during bad driving conditions.
Parts came quickly. Very happy with part and purchase
Finding this site on the web without any referral, I was reluctant to order at first. The site itself is easy to move around and finding the parts you need is quick and painless. I received my co...

Ecuador's President Correa sues newspaper and is blamed for killing free speech
(Read article summary)The Ecuadorian court suspended the libel hearing today, amid international criticism that President Rafael Correa is quashing free speech.
Guillermo Granja/Reuters
Mexico City
A much-awaited appeal hearing on the case of an Ecuadorian newspaper sued by the country's president was suspended today amid growing charges that President Rafael Correa is squashing free speech in this Andean nation.
The newspaper El Universo faces $40 million in damages and jail time, after they lost a libel suit brought by President Correa.
Correa, who has sued other journalists and created new media laws while greatly expanding the state media apparatus, has defended his moves to put a check on a sensational private industry with a political agenda. But his moves have been condemned by press groups inside the country and out, including American newspapers from coast to coast
"Since Correa took office five years ago, the situation has seriously deteriorated in Ecuador," says Carlos Lauria, Americas director for the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
Correa has drawn similar rebukes from the New York Times and Los Angeles Times in recent days. Perhaps the Washington Post in a Jan. 11 editorial put it most bluntly, blaming Correa for " the most comprehensive and ruthless assault on free media underway in the Western Hemisphere."
The libel case was brought by Correa last year after a column in the opposition publication questioned the events of a 2010 police protest that turned deadly, and that Correa has called a coup attempt.

How To Strip Copper Wire For Recycling
What do you think about this video?
arrgh garry: I made an auto matic copper wire stripper and when you have to get 100lbs
with a machine and seperating the wire a lot easier than that,believe me
using that machine you had better be serving a 20 year sentence and have a
few cell mates..also just put the wire as it is then use a weight or your
foot to crush it,this is the most time consuming laborious thing I have
ever seen Machtek Polska: It's very interesting. idahohuntfish79: where do you steal your copper wire from? lol!! ScrapMonster: Daily Scrap Metal Prices in United States,Canada,UK,India and China http://www.scrapmonster.com/scrap-prices Tones Ster: Indeed, l noticed that, lm jealous of your copper wire stripper. Glen Griffith: where did you buy the wire stripper from? Please email so I can look at it. email@example.com MrBookiekiller: LOVED when he said it all matters ! freakING A it's still copper no matter what type you have if it's really thin ribbon wire like used in telphone wire or PC wires just toss it in as insulated wire $1 a lb today ! NOW ya'll listen to me those scales will rip you off if your stuff hangs off ends and onto floor you lose lbs. Scales are off also so i cobat it with a gold spryed 2 lb rock with wire tightly wrapped around it ! In case you got a picky weigh man who starts prying the wires apart ! howtobible: @savagenomore You can find a good stripper like the one I use on ebay for like $75.00! I know it is not exactly a drop in the bucket. But man it saves so much time. The problem that I am having these days is finding copper. savagenomore: @howtobible ha...I don't know, haven't taken it in yet but I'm thinking about washing it with some muratic acid to clean it up first since I have some acid left over from another job, I know the last time I took some in they took it but i had left it on my concrete driveway for about a week and kept driving over it everyday and it rained on it a few times and it cleaned up pretty good... Lucien Alacard: I work in demolition driving a truck and the operators who run the jobs get all the copper from these jobs. Im talkin bout loading down the back of a dually pickup on some jobs with copper cable and wire weighing over 1000 lbs at a time. they just take it to teh scrap yard as is because the money is so easy and they are all copper drunk. savagenomore: @howtobible hey man, that trick worked pretty good, got $3.40 a pound for that cleaned wire...lol georgiowee: Yeah: I humbly agree with Your opinion about this stripping cable tool: maybe it is the best to me; nevertheless I will be inspired by Your concept, just in order to make a wooden one which would be able to cut some cables & that ' s all ! Best Regards Mauricio Robles: What is the biggest size wire the machine would stripp... howtobible: @savagenomore That's awesome man! I'm still trying to find some more wire! Too many people are involved in copper stripping! lol howtobible: @canderson8002 Ya I know! I made this video with my Evo 4G and didn't know how to edit it out and make it better. Now I have an iPhone 4S and am using iMovie and iMovie for the iPhone sucks! Spook50: I should do this for all the old wiring I've got leftover after reworking my shop's electrical. Not a bad idea at all. howtobible: They were almost new! But had a big burned spot in them gymover: I have the same machine and I found that if i strip about 1.5 in off the end with a pair of electricians wire strippers, it's much easier to put it through to get it started in the stripping wheels. Being an electricial I have those tools in stock. Otherwise use a pocket knife to strip some off the end. savagenomore: @howtobible i got a crap load from my brother, he moved in a house and the guy that lived there was a scrapper that had been stock piling stuff, I hauled 7000lbs steel and probably 400 to 500 in aluminum and wire, I hand stripped a crap load today and got tired of messing with it cause my hands started hurting so I finished up with a good hot fire..lol 1NRG24Seven: anyone building a solar or wind system using battery banks. Analyzingfunny: neat device howtobible: @savagenomore I think the acid will clean it up good. I haven't tried it before. Copper is up right now I think. So you should get a premium for it! ;) howtobible: @savagenomore I have grown to hate so-called reality tv! It's all bullsh*t! And yeah! Those show have ruined not only the storage business but the scrap business as well as the antique and collector business. savagenomore: lmao...those jumper cables looked brand new savagenomore: @howtobible yeah man, it seems that ever since that show on Spike called Scrappers it's gotten harder to find stuff especially free stuff, I used to get at least 2 or 3 riding mowers a week for free and now people want money for them because of the scrap value, same thing has happened in the storage locker buying business, a friend does that and he said the turn out of people has went for 10 or 15 to over a 100 and the prices have also gone sky high, everyone looking for that million dollar deal Kris Hartsock: lol howtobible: Haha! Eli Summey: Liked Your video, had mine for 3 years and still works like new. I strip everything with it all the way down to the wire from ear buds. it payed for its self in 4 hours. I strip the ends with my hand striper about 1 inch, makes it eazyer to get wire out. way to go man. Mauricio Robles: Cool man thanks I order one should get it next week...beer money... howtobible: @ytctma Yes! For the most part anything considered scrap, in short bent pieces will be considered #2. #1 copper is usually longer or larger clean pieces of copper tubing, pipe etc. This video is a few months old and so copper prices have went up some since I recorded this video. Thanks for stopping by! wewexteriors: Get a bucket with lid, get kerosene put in bucket add wire and lid put in back of pickup or trunk of car and go about you business, the sloshing around of the kerosene will break up the grease in a few days. enigma: I thought i heard a car failing to start in the background? 1NRG24Seven: soak in a solution of potassium hydroxide and water for 10 minutes then rinse clean. Collin Buckley: why the freak am i watching this hahaha lenovo erlano: Hi, have you heard about Smarter Money Maker? (search for it on google) You will discover the serious crimes we commit against our bank accounts. With Smarter Money Maker, you will discover how to make money faster. howtobible: @savagenomore I hear ya there! Did they give you any trouble when you tried to turn in the copper after burning it? The local recyclers here won't take copper with soot on it at all. 1NRG24Seven: You could have made more money on those jumper cables converting them into short battery bank hook up cables worth 10 bucks each What a waste of good cable. howtobible: Definitely! dchevron77: Woah. 77,777th viewer! Anyway, great video! Thanks for the tips :D howtobible: Absolutely! And just so you know, you can make your own blades out of broken screwdrivers or worn out drill bits. howtobible: @TrandomnesstwO Thanks! I don't get to use it enough! Copper is hard to come by ;) anonincognitus: Those didn't look like worn out jumper cables to me... they looked almost new howtobible: I would say that anything bigger than a broom handle would be hard to manage but would still fit easily through the machine. Not sure of the gauges but I've stripped some pretty big stuff. Mauricio Robles: Thanks howtobible: Thanks Eli! Yes! It's definitely worth its weight in gold. And I think copper is the "New" gold. At least for poor folks like me! howtobible: Who would you sell those to? canderson8002: lol said stripping copper wire twice lol howtobible: Thanks man! You got a good deal on the stripper! You'll love it. Mine is over a year old now and is still in excellent shape! howtobible: You are right! I help a friend of mine on demo jobs where we destroy old homes and if we don't tear them down fast enough, people will literally destroy the walls and steal all of the copper! oodimvale: as laminas duram muito ??? como afia-las após desgaste....????

A great way to strengthen your résumé is to do an internship, but the benefits don't stop there. By interning, you can gain professional skills, insight into a particular industry or organizational culture, and connections that might lead to a full-time job. Internships can also be a testing ground for potential new employees. Companies are spending more time and resources developing internship programs because they provide an efficient way to identify excellent full-time candidates. There is a lot of competition for internships. The following suggestions may help you secure a rewarding internship where you can learn about the field you are pursuing.
Start Early. Companies advertise their summer internships during the Fall and Spring Career Fairs. BCS can also connect you with internship opportunities through I-Link. You can network with employers throughout the fall by meeting them at the Career Fair, workshops, employer forums and company information sessions. You may get a jump start by participating in the Job Shadow Program. When recruiters are ready to hire interns, you will be top-of-mind.
Prepare. Make sure your résumé highlights your skills and accomplishments. Although an effective résumé will get you an interview, a successful interview will get you a job or internship. Take advantage of BCS employer workshops on résumé writing and résumé critiques and participate in a mock interview to hone your interviewing skills
Network. Making contacts is instrumental in your search for an internship. Talk with alumni, friends, parents, neighbors, relatives, friends of your parents, parents of your friends, and anyone who is in the company or industry that you are interested in working. Attend company information sessions, workshops, career fairs, and talk with recruiters, even if they are not currently seeking interns. Learn more about networking.
Be Creative. Because there are more students than there are internships, it can be difficult to find a productive internship. Be proactive and creative. Talk with companies and professionals in the area you are interested in working in and develop an opportunity for yourself. Consider volunteering, offering to help on a part-time or project-by-project basis. If an organization has not hired interns in the past, they may be willing to take a chance on an assertive, intelligent student. Although working without pay doesn't sound appealing, it can pay off in the long run by helping you build your résumé and make professional connections that can be used for the full-time job search.
Internship Types
Paid vs. Unpaid. The majority of paid internships are offered by large companies. Consulting, investment banking, commercial banking, accounting, information technology, and marketing offer paying internships. However, unpaid internships still offer opportunities to gain valuable work experience and can have a pay-off when you are looking for full-time work. In addition to making connections, you can also get training and an understanding of the industry
Credit vs. Not-for-Credit. Depending on your major and the internship description, you may be able to earn credit for your internship. In some situations, employers may require interns to be registered for a university class as a condition of employment. Class registration requires payment of tuition and/or fees. Talk with your academic department about internship credit, and meet with a BCS adviser regarding options for eaning credit
Summer vs. During School Term. The majority of internships are available in the summertime. However, more opportunities are becoming available for undergraduates who are willing to take a semester (or longer) off from school and participate in a winter or spring semester internship or co-op. These types of experiences can be extremely rewarding and can provide a break from the academic setting. Some employers are willing to extend internships over the academic year on a part-time basis. Part-time may not provide as clear a picture of what the daily demands are in a given profession, but you'll learn enough to assess whether or not you enjoy a particular job or industry

Facts about Julian & Ginger
- Breed: Other/Unknown
- Color: Unknown
- Age: Adult
- Size: Standard
- Sex: Male
- ID#: 2148314-Julian & Ginger
- Hair: Medium
My name is Julian & Ginger!
Julian & Ginger's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, and purebred.
Julian (Kara's sibling/Blossom's baby) and Ginger were first adopted out to a family in January 2009. Unfortunately, their adopters found themselves with a very busy lifestyle and not a lot of time to spend with these sweet bunnies. They thought it would be best for them to find a home where they could be part of a family that would be more interactive.
Remember, the more time you spend with your pet the more they will know and trust you. Just like anything else, the more you put into it....the more you get out of it. I always wondered why those exercise tapes didn't work in the cabinet.....you have to put them in the machine.....and get off the couch...and step away from the donut!?!
Are you looking to add to your family? These two bunnies would make a great addition! Stop by and meet them.
For adoption information, please contact email@example.com, (734) 461-1726, or visit us at www.rabbitsanctuary.org.

1. Brazile lays claim to 15th world championship
GUTHRIE, Okla. – Call it "The Trevor Slam."
Trevor Brazile won his third steer roping world championship Nov. 12 at the Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping and the 15th world title of his illustrious career, finishing the year with $96,700 and holding off Rocky Patterson, who kept things interesting until the 10th and final round.
The gold buckle is the fourth Brazile has won in a span of 11 months and a day, going back to the three world championships (all-around, team roping heading and tie-down roping) he won at the 2010 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.
Brazile placed in four rounds at the Lazy E Arena and finished with a time of 121.5 seconds on nine head, which was good for third place in the average and $9,231.
That average money turned out to be crucial, as Brazile actually found himself in second place in the world standings for the first time since January, trailing Patterson entering Round 10. However, due to some hard luck on the first night of the Finals, Patterson was out of the average race.
Although he won $19,538, the fourth-best total of the 15 cowboys in the field, Brazile said his effort wasn't as good as it could have been. Nonetheless, it was effective, and he did what he came to Guthrie to do.
"A little bit too conservative, but in the end, it's all about the 'W,'" Brazile said. "You've got to do what you've got to do (to win). There are times of year when it pays to be reckless, and this was not one of those times.
"It's hard knowing that you're losing ground. It's hard not to listen to that, but you can't get caught up in that. You go to battle in the go-rounds with guys that aren't in the average."
With total earnings of $259,043, Brazile has a lead of $140,019 over second-place Shane Proctor in the all-around race entering the Dec. 1-10 Wrangler NFR. Brazile is aiming to clinch his record-extending ninth all-around gold buckle and 16th overall, which would tie him with Jim Shoulders for second on the all-time list. Steer roper Guy Allen holds the record with 18 gold buckles.
Patterson started hot Nov. 12, placing in Rounds 6 and 7 before winning Round 9 to briefly take the lead in the world standings. Ultimately, his trouble from the first night caught up with him. Two steers got up after he had tied them down, resulting in no-times and dropping him out of the average race.
While Brazile and Patterson duked it out at the top, another world champion, Scott Snedecor, battled all weekend, finishing as the only cowboy to rope all 10 steers and winning his second career NFSR average title.
Snedecor didn't place in a single round on his way to finishing with a time of 172.8 seconds on 10 head, and his weekend may have been best summed up in his final, average-clinching round. The two-time world champ had to lay on his steer twice to prevent him from getting up, finishing the run in 26.1 seconds.
"Man, it was a good (check) to get," Snedecor said, "(although) it wasn't much fun getting it. I think this was the first time in 11 years that I've never won a check in a round. That's awful hard to pace myself and do that. I had some really tough steers over the two-day period, but I had to fight and I ground on through it."
Snedecor has become such a dynamic roper at the Finals that the way he won the average was certainly striking. It was the first time since his very first appearance in 2001 that he had not won a round at the Finals, let alone placed.
The final night of steer roping's 2011 season was ignited by Chet Herren, who won the first two rounds of the night in 10.3 and an event-best 9.5 seconds, respectively. Traveling partner Cody Scheck split first place in the eighth round (with Vin Fisher Jr.) and won the 10th round, marking another strong performance for the truck that features Herren, Scheck and Patterson.
The high-money winner of the Finals was Chance Kelton, who collected $28,615 to jump from 13th to sixth in the final world standings. Kelton finished second in the average with a time of 116.5 seconds.
Eight men finished with season earnings of more than $50,000, a first in the event's history.

2. Records keep on coming for Huber in Great Lakes Circuit
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Bill Huber Era doesn't seem to be over quite yet.
Huber, 48, won his record 22nd year-end Great Lakes Circuit tie-down roping title Nov. 12 at Freedom Hall and qualified into the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo for a record 21st time.
The discrepancy? Huber won his first Great Lakes Circuit title in 1984 before the PRCA had even created the national circuit finals.
The Albia, Iowa, cowboy – denied a circuit title since 2007 – bounced back to the top of the standings in most impressive fashion. Huber finished second in the first round and won the second round en route to winning the three-head average by a full second over Blake Ash (31.7 seconds to 32.7).
"I finished second in the average last year, and the year before that I broke my pelvis and didn't go to the RNCFR," Huber said. "It felt weird not going because I had been there so many times, and it sure feels nice to be going back."
Huber's earnings of $4,459 for the weekend allowed him to vault from eighth to first in the year-end standings, edging Jared Kempker by $259.
No competitor in any event has qualified for the RNCFR more times than Huber, or has won as many circuit titles. He won the Great Lakes year-end championship 17 consecutive years (1986-2002) and 19 times in a 20-year span. He won the national title in Pocatello, Idaho, in 2002.
So how many more Ram Great Lakes Circuit Finals and RNCFRs does Huber plan on making?
"As many as I can," he said. "I have an 18-year-old son (Cody) who just got his permit, so we'll be on the road quite a bit."
The other champions at the Ram Great Lakes Circuit Finals Rodeo were bareback rider Tanner Aus (249 points on three head), steer wrestler Adam Strahan (11.6 seconds on three head), team ropers Adam Newcomb and Gabe Gwaltney (26.5 seconds on three head), saddle bronc rider Cody Rud (225 points on three head), bull rider Danny Schlobohm (225 points on three head) and barrel racer Briana Reynolds (48.25 seconds on three runs).
3. Bain gets an "A" in final test before Wrangler NFR
REDMOND, Ore. – As a final systems check before his Wrangler National Finals Rodeo debut next month, things couldn't have gone much better for Brian Bain.
The Culver, Ore., bareback rider dominated the Nov. 11-12 Ram Columbia River Circuit Finals Rodeo with 252 points on three head to finish 12 points ahead of fellow Wrangler NFR qualifier Ryan Gray in the Hooker Creek Events Center.
Bain finished second to Gray in the first go, and then won the next two rounds, closing out with an 89-point ride on Flying 5 Rodeo Company's Rios Edge, which was his highest-scored effort of the year.
"He (Rios Edge) bucked me off the last time I rode him," Bain told the Bend Bulletin, "so I kind of had a vendetta to settle."
And the (pre-NFR) timing of it?
"That's what makes me feel really good about it."
Gray of Cheney, Wash., won the Columbia River Circuit year-end title for the fourth consecutive year and joins Bain in qualifying for next spring's Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City. Gray won the RNCFR in 2010.
Apart from Gray, the only other contestant to repeat as year-end champion was saddle bronc rider Bryan Martinat of Marsing, Idaho – and it took a bit of final-weekend drama to make it happen.
Martinat earned at least a share of the win in all three rounds – with scores of 80, 83 and 81 points – to easily secure the average title with 244 points. His $5,052 in earnings allowed him to edge Ben Londo for the year-end title by $271.
The other champions at the Ram Columbia River Circuit Finals Rodeo were steer wrestler Austin Manning (12.5 seconds on three head), team ropers Jake Stanley and Justin Wade Davis (18.9 seconds on three head), tie-down roper Roger Nonella (27.7 seconds on three head), bull rider Paul Coppini (171 points on two head) and barrel racer Pamela Capper (47.63 seconds on three runs).
Coppini, who clinched his win with an 89-point ride on Corey & Lange Rodeo's Do You Wanna, didn't allow himself any time to celebrate. He and friend Dakota Beck drove three hours to Portland, Ore., that night to catch a late flight to San Diego so they could compete in a two-head bull riding at the Brawley (Calif.) Cattle Call Rodeo Nov. 13.
It added up to riding five bulls in three days with five hours of driving time and a two-hour-plus flight in between.
"Dakota and I were just tired the whole weekend," Coppini said. "I'm not actually feeling too bad physically from riding … I'm just tired. We landed in San Diego at about 10 a.m. and got to the Brawley rodeo grounds with about 30 minutes to spare. We rode, had a break during the barrel racing and went out and rode again."
Beck won the Brawley title and Coppini tied for fourth, earning a modest check to go with the $3,464 he earned at the circuit finals.
"It wasn't so bad," Coppini said. "I'd gotten on four bulls the weekend before, so maybe that loosened me up."
• Blaine Linaweaver and Wade Hooker had the fastest time in the 55-year history of the Brawley (Calif.) Cattle Call Rodeo when they won the team roping in a time of 4.6 seconds at the Nov. 12-13 event. They were eight-tenths faster than the second-place team of Anthony Calmelat and Michael Calmelat. Linaweaver, a four-time Wrangler NFR qualifier, teamed with Jory Levy back in 2001 to set a world record (since broken) of 3.5 seconds.
The other winners at the Brawley Cattle Call Arena were bareback rider Orin Larsen (73 points), steer wrestler Blaine Jones (3.9 seconds), saddle bronc rider Joaquin Real (87 points), tie-down roper Blake Hirdes (8.5 seconds), bull rider Dakota Beck (160 points on two head) and barrel racer Linda Vick (17.17 seconds). Fresno State University student Jordan Ketscher received a saddle from the committee for winning the all-around title.
• Saddle bronc rider Taos Muncy of Corona, N.M., is the first cowboy to go into ProRodeo's year-end championships leading both the world and Canadian standings.
One down, one to go.
Thinking all was lost after bucking off his third horse, Muncy, the 2007 world champion, staged a miraculous comeback in the last of the six rounds to win the Nov. 10-13 Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton, Alberta.
He went into the last performance trailing Canada's Rylan Geiger by $12,000, but stuck an 87.5 point ride on a whirling outlaw named MF4 to snatch the buckle.
"This is a dream come true," Muncy said. "It's unbelievable. I'm really thankful."
Muncy was one of three Americans to haul CFR titles back over the border, being joined by tie-down roper Tyson Durfey of Colbert, Wash. – his third Canadian title – and barrel racer Trula Churchill of Valentine, Neb.
The other champions at Rexall Place were bareback rider Dusty LaValley, steer wrestler Cody Cassidy, team ropers Levi Simpson and Tyrel Flewelling, and bull rider Chad Besplug. Kyle Thomson was the all-around champion and Curtis Cassidy the high-point champion.
"If you're one of the top 50, and you say it's not your goal to win a gold buckle, you're a liar. It is the most coveted prize, and sometimes too much for some guys, but it's always in your thinking."
– Bull rider Bobby Welsh, telling Humps N Horns his mindset as he approaches his seventh consecutive Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
4. Hesston by Massey Ferguson donates tractor to ProRodeo Hall of Fame auction

6. News and notes from the rodeo trail
The Belle Fourche Roundup Committee is planning a Wrangler NFR Sendoff for South Dakota's entrants in the "Super Bowl of Rodeo" at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 19 in the Mulligan at the Belle Fourche Country Club. There will be a social hour, autograph session, auction and a dance with music by Jim Kallas … The Longview (Texas) Rodeo Arena has been shut down by city officials as a safety risk, and the facility requires a renovation estimated at $1.1 million if the PRCA rodeo is to go on as planned in April. The Longview City Council is expected to vote next month on whether to use general fund reserves to replace the 70-year-old grandstands, the lights and the announcer's stand. "Contestants come into town, they stay at our hotels, they buy gas at our convenience stores, they buy Western clothes," said Mary Ramos, director of the East Texas Tourism Association. "Canceling the rodeo would be a blow to the local economy." The rodeo brings an estimated 8,000 people to town each spring … Bareback rider Larry "Wild Man" Sandvick, a 12-time Wrangler NFR qualifier (1992-93, 1995-2004), recently purchased Beast Master Bareback Riggin Company from Dennis Schmidt and is operating it out of Kaycee, Wyo., as Wild Man Riggins. He has sold his redesigned riggings, which he says are "more horse and rider friendly," to 2011 Wrangler NFR contestants Wes Stevenson and Royce Ford … The contract personnel for the 2012 Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City has been selected – Announcers: Wayne Brooks and Greg Simas; Secretary: Cindy Rosser; Assistant secretary: Sherry Gibson; Timers: Allison VanKomen and Irene Singer.

The video was produced to stress the importance of using seat belts … Anne Ziolkowski Christensen was posthumously given the Ben Kobza Award by the Badlands Circuit this fall for her contributions to rodeo. "Anne Z," who died in May of this year, was the driving force behind the PRCA's Crazy Horse Stampede in Crazy Horse, S.D. She grew up the sixth of 10 children of Korczak and Ruth Ziolkowski, the sculptors of the Crazy Horse mountain carving in progress. Anne, along with several of her siblings, worked at their father's life goal: to complete a monument honoring the North American Indian people. She oversaw the operations of the Indian Museum of North America and its gifts shops at the Memorial, as well as the special events on the Crazy Horse grounds. Anne loved horses and cowboys, and she was the visionary who worked to incorporate a Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association rodeo alongside the Great Plains Indian Rodeo Association events that are held in mid-June.

Hi all,
I have a sans cylindrica setting a nice flower scape, and a regular old mother in laws tongue (trifasciata?) variety that is going to open flowers any day/night now. Can the pollen from the trifasciata be saved and used to pollinate the cylindrica? If so any ideas on how to store the pollen and when is the right time to place it on the cylindrica? Thanks in advance for taking the time to help, getting the cylindrica to flower is new to me! Chaz |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Chaz (^_^) I've never done before but... I read in a great Sans. book, B. Juan Chahinian's "The Splendid Sansevieria", he recommend a pollen storage technique that is to pick up pollen with Q-tip, then cut the Q-tip stick (with pollen grains sticked on) and store it, head up in a little container, an empty roll photographic film container, with fill salt, 1/4 of the height of the container - salt keep the pollen dry but not too dry as silica-gel. Keep the container in refrigerator. He said he successfully keep the pollen 10 days. He said he touch the stigma of each flower with the pollen laden tip, several times. |
Stephania, Thank you so much for your reply. I am expecting the flowers of the trifasciata to open any night now and don't want to lose the pollen as the cylindrica will be a couple of days to a week later at least. Regards, and thanks again. I'll post as I progress, hopefully with photos. Chaz |

Dr. Bhatt has been trained in one medical specialty.
Having studied Hand Surgery, Dr. Bhatt has been trained to care for injuries and complications of the hand, wrist and forearm through surgical or non-surgical treatments. Dr. Bhatt is specifically trained to diagnose each patient and determine whether or not surgery is necessary – surgery is usually seen as a last resort when other treatment methods have been exhausted.
Modern hand surgery came to fruition as a specialized field of medicine after veterans returned from World War II with a host of hand complications and injuries that often went without the necessary treatment, leaving them permanently disabled. Since then, hand surgery has evolved and is able to treat, repair and rehabilitate nearly all types of injuries to the hand, forearm and wrist that would have otherwise left the patient severely disabled.
Hand surgery encompasses the treatment of injuries and diseases that cause pain or reduced function in and around the hand. The goal of hand surgeons is to restore functionality to as near optimum levels as possible, decrease pain associated with injuries, diseases or congenital defects, and help to provide the patient the highest quality of life as possible.
Hand surgery can be utilized to treat and correct a variety of injuries and diseases including fractured bones, torn tendons and ligaments, rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren's contracture, congenital defects, carpometacarpal bossing and a variety of other diseases and injuries. Because hand surgery is a highly individualized surgical procedure, each patient's condition will be evaluated in light of the surrounding circumstances to determine if, and which, surgery is necessary.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Star!
Facts about Star
- Breed: American Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Star's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, declawed, good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hello, Star is a beautiful white and orange cat Who is declawed She is almost 1 1/2 years old. She has been spayed, vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV/FELV. Star likes to be petted and likes other cats however she prefers to have her feet planted on the ground and not carried around. She does love to follow you around from room to room.
Other Pets at Pitter Patter Paws
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Star, a Lake Ronkonkoma American Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Lake Ronkonkoma, or seeking a American Shorthair cat from a breeder in Lake Ronkonkoma.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lake Ronkonkoma already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Lake Ronkonkoma breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lake Ronkonkoma paves the way for another one to be saved.

We sense something. A presence we haven't felt since - oh, sometime in November 2005, when Star Wars: Battlefront 2 screamed out of hyperspace on a collision course with the original Xbox. As if to stave off the pernicious influence of Kinect Star Wars, the internet is talking itself to a standstill about Star Wars: Battlefront 3.
Some say Sparks Unlimited is leading the charge, citing clandestine meetings with LucasArts (which, by the way, has at least three new games in the works - an RPG, a first-person shooter and a flight sim). Others point to the existence of Star Warsy art assets on the Operation Raccoon City disc as evidence that Slant Six Games is handling the beast. It's also possible that Free Radical, down to develop the game before it went bankrupt in 2008, may have clawed back control of the project following its rebirth as Crytek UK. Could the recent surfacing of a pre-alpha Xbox 360 gameplay video foreshadow an E3 reveal?
And does the franchise have the cajones to compete with the reigning big team shooter crop? Are its shields buff enough to withstand firepower of that magnitude, or are tune-ups necessary? Short answer: of course they are. Long answer is below, in six easy-to-digest instalments.
1. Let us rule the Galaxy online
Battlefront 2's Galactic Conquest mode is an obvious offline precursor to the likes of Armored Core 5's capture-the-territory component, or whatever the hell it was Chromehounds had that flat-lined in 2010. The equally obvious next step, then, would be to take this strategic squabble to Xbox Live, but Sparks/Slant Six/Crytek UK (known henceforth as Sparks Six UK till somebody announces something) need to do more than just plug in the Ethernet.
We want a brace of clan or party options, catering to everybody from the Friday night drop-in to the week-long Republic commander. We want the state of the strategic map to have a decisive impact on individual firefights. We want some sort of resource management aspect - nothing C&C worthy, but meaty enough that we don't feel like we're waging war for bragging rights alone. We want logistics, damn you. We want regular, tournament-style "galactic events" that oblige us to alter our tactics. We want the obligatory competitive and cooperative mode types to feed down into specific planetary stories naturally, without contrivance. We want in-game notifications that alert us to events in the wider universe. We want tonnes of stuff.
2. Make the maps Star-Wars-sized
We also want land maps worthy of Lucas Films' prodigious original sets and special effects sequences. Firing up Battlefront 2 for a nostalgic replay, it's odd how pokey everything feels. Tatooine, for instance, is basically a bathtub full of sand with a granite doughnut sticking out of the middle.
3. Spruce up the space battles
Impressively, the aforesaid distinct shortage of grandiosity also carries over to the space battles, despite the saber-stiffening prospect of taking a Star Destroyer apart from within while a friendly X-Wing pilot tears it up from without. In hindsight, it's the flaccid star fighter handling that's probably to blame, coupled with capital ship defences that couldn't deter a moist breeze. Next time, Spark Six UK, take a few tips from the Freespace series when you're gluing the engines on. And make those Star Destroyers, Calamarian warships and so forth more complicated. Triple the number of Peripheral Bits that need to be detonated, shot or powered-down before the doughty forces of the Repubic/sinister Imperial legions can mount their daring/dastardly assault on the requisite Glowing Energy Core Thing. Lost Planet 2's epic train gun chapter could be a useful precedent.

As many of you know, I've been most fortunate in having dream visits from my daughter Jill. My dad has visited me, too, but only a few times in the dozen years since he died. My mother (actually my stepmother, but the only mother I had for most of my life) died ten years ago, but I haven't had the slightest sign from her....until the night before last.
She came to me in a dream, dressed in her robe and slippers, staying long enough to hug and kiss me and tell me she loved me. I did the same, and was strongly aware of the feel of her cheek under my lips. It was a wonderful feeling. Patience pays off...:-) Susan |

How wonderful. It must give you such a sense of peace to have had that visit. Good. Susan too. |
Oh, Susan. You give me hope. I haven't had a dream about my mom yet.... well, not one that I can call a visit. It will be 2 years in June. I'm ready for a good one. I'll continue to be patient, and I'm so glad that you got one from your beloved stepmother. Lu |
I am so happy for you. I've only had weird dreams about my parents, dreams that do not make any sense and that I sometimes don't remember (I sleep very sound). I so long to see them in a dream, and hear them. I wish I could make it happen. You give me hope. Joanie |

Michael Kors Spring 2013
All right, it's official: stripes are back. Not that they ever really left, but this week we've seen more of them on the New York runways than we can count.
For Spring 2013, Michael Kors offered them up in spades. In high-contrast lines of black, red, green, and blue, they covered everything from zip-side one-pieces to skin-hugging bodysuits. The show notes mentioned the idea of "geometric glamour," and so, in addition to all those stripes, Kors offered up boxy separates in mod '60s shapes decorated with optical checks or saturated in primary hues. The glamour came later when Karlie Kloss closed the show wearing a slinky gown pierced with triangular cutouts.

It shall submit annually to the Secretary of the Interior a report on the areas studied during the preceding year. 2. The Director of the National Park Service, after consultation with the Advisory Board or the appropriate sub-committee thereof, shall recommend to the Secretary the designation as National Historic Sites of any such historic sites and buildings as appear to possess the necessary attributes, including national historical or archeological significance, availability, possession of suitable physical characteristics, capability of development and control, and the possibility of administration as a National Historic Site. The procedure in designating a National Historic Site shall be as follows: a. Study of the site by the National Park Service and a determination of its national importance within the scope of the Act. b. Preparation by the National Park Service of a memorandum for the Secretary's approval, including a map of the recommended boundaries and descriptive material of the site to be designated. The memorandum shall include recommendations as to the official name of the site and the method of administering it if and when accepted. The justification must show that the recommended site is of national significance. c. Approval by the Secretary of the memorandum and preparation by the National Park Service for the approval of the Secretary of appropriate contractual agreements with Federal departments or agencies, state or local governments, or private owners, when necessary to facilitate the administration of areas under the scope of the Act. d. Examination and acceptance of the necessary deeds by the Secretary, if title to the area or any part of it is to be vested in the Federal Government. e. Approval by the Secretary of the contractual agreements, where necessary, and preparation of the order for the signature of the Secretary designating the area as a National Historic Site. f. Filing of the original and two duplicate originals of certified copies of the signed departmental order with the Division of the Federal Register, National Archives, upon which the area is then to be considered a National Historic Site. 3. Upon its designation as a National Historic Site, the following procedure shall govern: a. As contemplated by the Act, jurisdiction and control over National Historic Sites may be exercised by the National Park Service or in the discretion of the Secretary, by prior agreement, such designated sites may remain under private control or under the jurisdiction of a State or local government in accordance with the terms of Section 2 (c) of Public Law No. 292. When jurisdiction and control are vested in the National Park Service, the area shall be administered in the same manner as a national historic park or monument. Any National Historic Site within or in the vicinity of a national park or monument shall preferably be administered in connection with such park or monument. Whenever practicable, appropriate fees shall be charged for admission to such national historic sites, such fees to be fixed in each case by the Director of the National Park Service, with the approval of the Secretary. Provided, that no child sixteen years of age or under, accompanied by a parent or guardian, shall be charged a fee for admission to any national historic site, and that classes from educational institutions, accompanied by teachers or instructors, shall be admitted free of charge. b. As a condition precedent to the designation of National Historic Sites which will be under the control of persons or agencies other than the United States, the National Park Service shall, with the approval of the Secretary, make contracts or arrangements with the owners, whether private parties, organizations, or public agencies, defining the terms under which such site is to be controlled and administered. In such cases, the National Park Service may arrange for the use of available funds, if any, for the restoration or improvement of such sites, provided the contractual agreements with the owners, made in consideration of such restoration or improvement, are satisfactory to the Secretary. The National Park Service shall also make such arrangements as may be necessary and feasible for the protection of historic sites against impairment, encroachment, or danger from adjacent areas. All such contractual agreements shall contain a covenant on part of the owner of the site that such owner will not make nor authorize to be made any changes in the state of the premises, that he will not erect or permit to be erected thereon any monument, building, marker or sign of any nature whatsoever, nor disseminate to the public any historical information concerning the particular site without the consent of the Director of the National Park Service. Such contractual agreements shall be executed in such form and manner as to be satisfactory to the Secretary. In all contracts with such owners for the operation of the sites by the National Park Service, a provision shall be inserted prescribing the use of any funds collected as admission fees or from other sources for the maintenance and repair of such sites and structure thereon, or for payment to the owners for the use of the property, or for making payments on the purchase price in case of an option or agreement for purchase by the United States. 4. In making the surveys and investigations prescribed above, the Director of the National Park Service, shall, whenever practicable, accept the assistance of, and cooperate with interested State, or municipal departments or agencies, or educational or scientific institutions, or patriotic or historical associations, or public or private corporations or associations, or individuals, provided such assistance is furnished without expense to the United States. All plans, drawings, photographs, and other data secured as a result of such surveys and investigations shall be preserved by the National Park Service and shall be open to public inspection except in case of rare documents, as determined by the Director, copies of which shall be made available. The National Park Service may arrange to publish such data as may be necessary for an educational program to make available to the public facts and information pertaining to American historic and archeologic sites, buildings, and objects of national significance. Reasonable charges may be made for the dissemination of any such facts or information. 5. Upon the recommendation of the Director and the approval of the Secretary, historic sites will be acquired by the United States by gift, purchase or otherwise, subject to the restrictions contained in section 2 (d) of the Act of August 21, 1935. In all cases of acquisition the title and evidence of title to lands acquired shall be satisfactory to the Secretary. 6. a. No monument, marker, tablet, or other memorial shall be placed upon any part of a national historic site until the design, text, description, material, finish, and location shall have been approved by the Director of the National Park Service. Where important matters of design are involved the advice of the National Commission of Fine Arts shall be secured. In all cases, monumentation shall be kept to the essential minimum, and only such memorials will be approved as are appropriate thereto. b. All monuments or markers in national historic sites shall be erected in strict accordance with the plans and specifications approved by the Director of the National Park Service. Those engaged in placing monuments or markers shall notify the Director prior to the beginning of work and shall not proceed with their construction and emplacement until authority in writing has been received. Those engaged in placing said markers or monuments shall exercise special care to avoid injury to the grounds, trees, shrubbery, buildings or other structures. After the completion of the work the contractor must clear the grounds, trees, shrubbery, buildings or other structures of all debris which may have accumulated and leave them in as good condition as before beginning the work. Where necessary a certified check or bond to accomplish this purpose shall be required. 7. A board, known as the Advisory Board on National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings and Monuments, has been established to advise on any matters relating to National Park Service activities and to the administration of the above mentioned Act as may be submitted to it by the Secretary of the Interior. It may also recommend policies to the Secretary pertaining to national parks and to the restoration, reconstruction, conservation and general administration of historic and archeologic sites, buildings, and properties. The Director of the National Park Service, as the representative of the Secretary, may submit to said Advisory Board from time to time matters on which that Board's advice is desired. When deemed necessary, technical advisory committees may be established to act in an advisory capacity in connection with the restoration or reconstruction of any historic or prehistoric building or structure. Sincerely yours, /s/ Charles West Acting Secretary of the Interior 1st Advisory Board Meeting, Minutes and Resolutions, Advisory Boards and Commissions Office, Department of the Interior. |

Outside of having a really good trip while listening to a bootleg, Dark Star Orchestra is about the closest thing to a Grateful Dead resurrection that most people, apart from fans who lived it the first time around, will ever experience -- aside from, of course, Furthur and the various Dead offshoots. In 1997, the Dark Stars began faithfully re-creating Dead shows and have been lauded for their uncanny doppelgänger abilities ever since.

.- During the recitation of the Angelus at St. Peter's Square on Sunday's Feast of the Epiphany, Pope Benedict XVI emphasized the importance of being faithful to one's vocation in order to help guide the steps of fellow believers.
From its first appearance, then, the light of Christ began to draw to itself the men "whom God loves", of every language, people and culture," the Pope said before the traditional prayer.
"It is the power of the Holy Spirit that moves hearts and minds to seek truth, beauty, justice, peace," he continued.
Quoting John Paul II's encyclical Fides et Ratio, the Pope noted that the Wise men found in the Child of Bethlehem the goal of their "search for the truth and a search for a person to whom they might entrust themselves."
Men and women of every generation, in this their pilgrimage, have need of direction," the Pope continued, and "the star that guided the Magi had completed its function, but its spiritual light is ever present in the word of the Gospel…which is nothing if not the reflection of Christ, true man and true God," he said.
The Pope stressed that every Christian is "called to help guide the steps of his brothers by word and the witness of his life. How important it is, then, that we Christians are faithful to our vocation!"
In conclusion, the Pontiff offered "cordial greetings to the brothers and sisters of the Eastern Churches who, following the Julian calendar, celebrate holy Christmas tomorrow: It is a great joy to share in the celebration of the mysteries of faith, in the multiform riches of the rites that attest to the bi-millennial history of the Church."
