Baseball Wins Seventh Straight WAC Title
Buy the Official Fresno State 2012 WAC Baseball Championship T-Shirt! May 27, 2012 MESA, Ariz. --- Fresno State defeated Sacramento State 4-3 in 13 innings to claim the 2012 WAC Baseball Tournament championship on Sunday at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Ariz. "It was great win for our seniors - that's four in four years for them," Fresno State baseball coach Mike Batesole said. "Three in three years for our juniors, two in two years for our sophomores and our freshmen grew up quick and got their first one. That makes us really proud. Four rings in four years, that's fantastic for our kids." But not only have the Bulldogs won either the regular season or tournament title the past four years - the streak extends back seven years to 2006. To get there, Fresno State and Sacramento State were locked in what turned out to be the longest WAC Tournament game in the conference's history at the 13 innings and the gritty effort from both teams became an intense marathon that ended on the walk-off winner off the bat of a freshman Jordan Luplow. The game winner was lifted into right field, scoring Daniel Moultrie from second base in the bottom of the 13th inning to start a joyous celebration of red on the field. "That was a tough one," Batesole added. "Sac State has the best team they have had in a long time. They played their tails off and what an offense they have. That was about as tough a game as we have had all year." The win propels the Bulldogs into the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time in the past seven seasons. Fresno State will find out its destination for NCAA Regional play on Monday morning at 9 a.m. PT in a one-hour program shown live on ESPNU.

Following the excellent schematic on your site, I disassembled the RH drawer hardware and removed the damaged end cap, installed the new end cap, and re-assembled the drawer hardware.The replacement part was delivered before I expected it and the schematic was accurate and very helpful. Well done, PartSelect, thanks.
ToolsScrew drivers
CustomerVictor from Harbinger NC
Direct part replacement. Very easy. Most importantly take your time. When ordering parts review drawings. Screws don't come with parts so save screws when taking it apart.
ToolsScrew drivers, Socket set
CustomerSuzanne from Crossville AL
First. remove the two drawers and the glass shelf above them. Then using a hex socket remove the two hex head screws that hold the parts to the side of the fridge. Remove the metal drawer slides from the old part and apply them to the new part. If you are installing the left bracket reattach it to the fridge. If you are replacing the right side add the following steps. After attaching the slide to the new part remove the temp control assembly from the old part paying attention to how it fits together. Transfer to new part. Reattach new part to fridge. Carefully reattach pantry door to spindles. The hardest part was taking the temp control off of the old part and putting on the new part. I had made at least 5 calls to the store where I had purchased the refrigerator but I couldn't get them out to repair it. I decided to do it myself and I'm glad I did. It probably saved me at least $50.
CustomerJulie from Fountain Inn SC
Honestly, so simple . Removed the fruit / veggie drawers, glass shelf and the supports for that shelf. Couple of screws and nuts and it was off. As stated before... the most "thought goes into attaching the linkage for the temp adjustment on the right side . GREAT opportunity to CLEAN the up the fridge a bit!! Parts Select made this such a no brainer. Their Customer Service was really an added bonus!!
CustomerByron from High Springs FL
Removed vegetable drawers, glass top and two metal guards. Unhook clips on deli drawer slide brackets, then removed drawer. Removed two 5/16 hex head screws, unsnapped temp controlbracket at rear of ref. Removed end cap & temp bar. Removed slide, 2 - 5/16 hex head screws hold this on and temp control from old part, which unsnaps. Install these on new part. Reassemble end cap in frig. and all drawers as removed. Set Temp control to desired temp. I think this tab should be made of a more heavier material, as you can see this part breaks quite frequently.
CustomerDavid from Conroe TX
Removed the drawers, unscrewed 3 screws, positioned the new part, done. Very easy.
ToolsSocket set
CustomerDavid from Butte MT
this pantry lid was warped when the fridge was new. tolerated it for a while finally it cracked then worked pretty well for a couple years until the RH hinge pin (part of a support for the pantry door)broke. I had never bought parts from partselect.com before, but I have in the past bought repair parts from other sites. Partselect.com had drawings of the refrigerator parts that although were a little hard to see were adequate to tell what parts I should order. I ordered the parts, they came in after an acceptable wait. The parts were literally perfect, went right in, and everything is working quite nicely. I am happy with Partselect.com and will probbly go to them first in the future. I actually like the refrigerator a little more now than I did when it was new.
CustomerJames R, from Franklinton LA
My wife said it was the wrong part before I opened the package. I took out what was in the way and put in what was in the package and everybody is happy. Dat's Dat from da Who Dat Nation!
CustomerRobert C from Bella Vista AR
Removed crisper drawers, removed glass and rails, unscrewed side part and replaced
CustomerVincent from Louisburg PA
Remove the drawers above the unit as others have indicated and the glass top and then using a 1/4 inch nut driver remove the screws. Now it gets just a bit tricky as the air control knob under the top is a two peice linkage that is best removed as a single unit being carefull not to break off the tab that rests in the middle back of the refrig. Simply swing it out towards the left as you face it and it will become obvious its just a simple tab and once it clears everything comes out in one unit. The logic holding everything together is simply a matter of squeezing a couple of tabs to remove the back portion then a couple more for the inner right side. Re assemble in reverse order and take the opportunity to give everything a real good cleaning. My time of about 45 minutes included a real good cleaning of all shelves etc....happy new year and thanks parts select for getting the part to me in what i think was next day...Awesome service guys
CustomerJacob from Kalamazoo MI
remove the two screws that hold the end cap on and carefully disassemble the linkage rods that control the temp control off and then just reverse the what you did. It wasn't that hard at all. The parts came in two days which was great. The bottom of the refrigerator needed to cleaned so it all worked out.
CustomerRick from Veradale WA
really easy it took less than 15 minutes, it took more time to clean out the refer. than to do the repair.
ToolsNutdriver, Socket set
Customerwes from caro MI
Remove drawers. Remove 1/4 screws. Remove end cap. The linkage for temp control is very fragile so be very careful. Not a very dificult task at all.

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall
Credits: REUTERS/DAVID STOBBE
REGINA - Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has asked U.S. President Barack Obama to "act swiftly" to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline project.
In a joint letter to Obama, Wall and 10 U.S. governors - including several from states the pipeline would cross - wrote that the project is "fundamentally important to the future economic prosperity of both the United States and Canada."
"We strongly urge you to ... act swiftly to approve the Keystone XL pipeline."
Missing from the letter is a signature from Alberta Premier Alison Redford.
Wall said Redford was aware of the letter and is supportive of it.
"I think it's helpful, frankly, that it's not always Alberta that has the oilsands that has to do these things," Wall told reporters. "I think this is helpful where you have the province of Saskatchewan, with a real stake in that project, taking a bit of a lead."
Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver also offered support for Wall's efforts, echoing many of the same points that the project would create jobs, revenue and energy security.
In November, a group of U.S. Senators also wrote Obama, urging him to approve the $7-billion project.
Obama rejected TransCanada's application last year, but urged the company to reapply with a new route, citing a lack of sufficient environmental studies.
A decision from the White House on the project is expected in the next few months.
The White House did not offer comment on the letter Thursday.

Here at Smart Smoker we offer a healthier alternative to smoking: the electroniccigarette. If you've been looking for a way to stayhealthier, and smokein public places without breaking the law (due to the smoking ban) then look no further. At Smart Smoker we offer a revolutionary new way to 'smoke', also known as 'vaping'. These e-cigarettes are a healthy alternative to traditional cigarettes with the same cigarette taste, still with nicotine but with none of the 4000 toxins usually found in a traditional cigarette.
The electronic cigarettes have been available for around 3-4 years now but the device has always been a little large and uncomfortable, but with our fourth generation of electronic cigarette you can now use your e-cigarette and remain comfortable and looking good.
For those of you who are new to the electronic cigarette let us explain exactly what they are: An e-cigarette consists of a battery an atomizerand a cartridge chamberthat holds a small amount of nicotine and water.
When you draw on an electronic cigarette your cravings are satisfied due to the taste of tobacco, the smoke-like vapor emitted, the actual holding of a cigarette, the glow at the end and an intake of nicotine so it can be used as an alternative to a traditional cigarette.
The process of drawing on the Smart Smoker operates a micro switchwhich heats up an element within the atomizer to produce a very realistic looking 'smoke' which is in fact just a completely harmless vapor with no harmful chemicals, and vaporizes into the air within a few seconds, the pleasant odor also disappears with this vapor so you will have no smell on your clothes or indeed in your car or home!
Our electronic cigarettes can be used legally anywhere as there is no passive smoke, no health concerns and of course nothing flammable. You can buy electronic cigarettes from us and we can ship them to your house.
The renewable cartridges are available in 4 strengths, Normal, Medium, Low and no nicotine and are normally dispatched within 48 hours of ordering, usually same day, a cartridge will last approximately the same time as 15 normal cigarettes so you will also save approximately 80% of your costs as a bonus.
Alternatively, click here if you are buying a Smart Smoker Electronic Cigarette from the UK.
Take a look at the benefits of using electronic cigarettes over normal tobacco cigarettes. Here is a golden opportunity to save more than just your heath when using our products. Now is your chance to throw away a bad habit and increase your health when switching from tobacco. Our products help you live a better life for you and your family as well as cut back on the monthly expense of tobacco products. Thousands of people are converting over to electronic cigarettes everyday and never looking back. Our electronic cigarettes and kits have great customer reviews and 100% customer satisfaction ratings.
Existing customers please click here to view a Video Tutorial on how to start using your SmartSmoker electronic cigarettes. This includes instructions on how to install a cartridge and how tocharge the battery. You can also view a video of the Smart Smoker Electronic Cigarette in action, if you are still interested in the best electronic cigarettes.
We all know what happens to your health when you smoke different types of tobacco in cigarettes. It's true, the health risks for smoking are incredibly dangerous, but all of the health risk is gone when using electronic ones. Cigarettes may be the thing standing between you and a healthy lifestyle, change from tobacco to electronic. Stop smoking the deadly tar in cigarettes by switching to electronic ones. Switch your cigarette to electronic and know you made the right choice by changing your health over night.

Is there a distinction between leading worship and performing for a crowd? It's a line musicians and audiences in the faith community have long struggled to define. But instead of choosing a side, The City Harmonic would rather ignore it altogether.
"The best expression of loving God is loving your neighbor, not closing my eyes and 'loving God,'" frontman Elias Dummer says. "So if the guy in the back row with his arms crossed is my neighbor, I have to care about his expectations if I'm serving him."

Getter Done Moving Co. has been a great part of our life. My girlfriend and I called them when we first moved in together. Now that we are planning to start a new life in our new home, Getter Done Moving also took care of our relocation. As always they are good at what they do.
Our company is on its way on top, and this would never be possible if not because of Getter Done Moving. These guys did a really good job at moving all our equipment to our new office. From computers to record files, we didn't have any problems with their efficiency. Plus, there were zero damage!

I think the records speak for themselves; you are going to know your mechanic very well.

c211 Posts: 1My Discovery has 107,000 miles, and yes, it had some problems, but all in the first few years. The dealer told me at the time that the things that messed up were things that were added to make the car sell well in the states. After those things were fixed, we've had 60.000 more trouble free miles. Now my teenager is driving it, and I want it back.

kend5 Posts: 1Can someone shed some light? I am looking at leasing a '99 Discovery. Everything I have read says that '99 is the first year for the series II. However, the information the dealer gave me has the stats for the series I (i.e. length and width). Are there '99's that are both series I and series II or are all '99's series II and I got a bad brochure?
oceandweller Posts: 58check www.roverparts.com they offer cd changers for disco I and II pre-wired or not. Happy hunting...by the way it is cheaper than the dealer ship, but identical CD changer.
rkoesler Posts: 62Hello, everyone.
I've been posting here for about 2 years, ever since I got my 99 DII in Feb. 99. It was a piece of crap! One of the first DII's off the line. I traded it for a 00 4Runner (perfect vehicle), traded that for a 00 BMW, then traded that for a 00 DII (I could not stand to be without the Disco, it had grown on me and I had come to love it, except for all the problems).
My current DII is now 3 months and 3000 miles old and has been perfect. I just did a 2500 mile trip to CO, went off-road, and am convinced that this is the best, all-capable SUV one can buy. And I've had just about every SUV you can get. -
nanuq Posts: 765Sure, that's a good number of miles. At this point it's about to go "over the hump" so all niggly repairs are dealt with, AS LONG AS there is lots of warranty left. People will take the BS of fixing all these little problems only so long, then they dump it. As of 30k miles ALL my problems are gone. 30k to 50k is about the right range. Watch out for the 52k mile service, it's expensive. Have the dealer bring up the truck history by VIN and see what its life has been. Lots of regular mainenance? Watch out for the sticking valves problem, it started in '96 with the 4.0 liter engine. It's covered by warranty but VERY expensive otherwise.
Good luck, -Bob -
oceandweller Posts: 58I purchased My Disco this past April and now she has 56,000 miles. Nanuq: you mentioned the 52k service, what exactly does that involve? My dealer hasn't said anything about any needed service. I just had an oil change and the hoses and housing replaced for the power steering, but they said everything else is like new. When I purchased her she had a little less than 52k on her and she came with a certified pre-owned warranty. Any input??
discojohnny Posts: 1Hello all, I am purchasing a Disco 96 next week It has 57,000 miles.The person I am buying from says is has a warranty until 2004 or 87,000. I would like to know about this 52K service too. How would I know if everything was done to keep the warranty in effect? How many more service calls other than an oil changes should I expect.
mark156 Posts: 2,000You are now on your third '00 model ?...... what a loss of money! If you traded in each vehicle, you must have lost 5,000-8,000 per trade.
I hope you are happy with the new one, if not, your salesman will be very happy.
Happy motoring. Mark2010 Land Rover LR4, 2013 Honda CR-V, 2009 Bentley GTC, 1990 MB 500SL, 2001 MB S500, 2007 Lincoln TC, 1964 RR Silver Cloud III, 1995 MB E320 Cab., 2015 Prevost Liberty Coach -
bbc28 Posts: 6I am in the process of buying a 97 Discovery. Its a lease return so the factory warranty just expired and I am looking for a good replacement. Everything I've scene has been very expensive and some warranty shops don't even offer one for the Landrover.
Also looking for either aftermarket or factory cd changer! -
nanuq Posts: 765I think you'll find lots of people buy a Rover hoping to be able to maintain it themselves. From my point of view it's part of the enjoyment of owning one, you get to know it well enough that within a couple years you've named her.
A Disco is very simple to maintain and work on, with a couple caveats. You must buy the factory manuals, and they're over $100 a pop (chassis and mechanical, and electrical). Also you'll need BIG tools for chassis/suspension work. Remember this is an alloy engine so use anti-seize compound on the threads when reassembling and be very careful with torque settings. Gaskets and seals are first to go, and they're messy but very straight-forward work. You'll positively LOVE changing the brake pads, you can do it in 5 minutes with your eyes closed. There are lots of little tricks to learn, and over time you'll pick them up here and from the manuals. Also listen in on:
for lots of good advice. Rememer to change all fluids regularly (another great job that's very enjoyable, done about every 15k miles) and be prepared to know your parts man on a first-name basis. He'll most likely be very pleased to meet you and the more you come back with grease under your fingernails, the more likely you'll get back in the shop to SEE how the guys do it.
This won't be like owning an "appliance" vehicle and it will be EXTREMELY frustrating at times but also very enjoyable. It's truly a love/hate thing.

palca Posts: 1I've only owned four cars in my life, but I would have to say my '96 Discover is the worst auto I've bought. I'll just go ahead and list the problems I've had with it.
1. Passenger side door does not open from the outside anymore (supposedly fixed while under warranty at the dealership which has conviently run out) Not to mention that people have told me that the door feels like it's about to fall off, but I ignored the warnings because it was my new 'baby' at the time.
2. Makes a 'clunking' sound when I turn the wheel now. I checked the steering fluid, and it's not low. Tired of trying to fix all the problems with this car, gonna trade it in instead.
3. Once in a while, makes this awful exhaust whistling noise when you step on the gas. This too I have brought in before my warranty ran out but was told by the dealship that it is not a defective part, thus, there is nothing they can do about it. (Design flaw?) I should have sold the car at this point, but I was still ga-ga over Land Rover's 4X4 capabilities.
4. Last and most importantly, driving along the freeway or up the hill to get to Tahoe, the car will lose power for a few seconds and then regain power. This first occurred about two months after I bought the car and I quickly brought it in. The dealership said they couldn't recreate the problem, thus, they could not fix it. I'm at this site searching for car info because just this past weekend, the car decided to lose power about 25 times in a row while I was driving home from Tahoe; uphill and downhill, so it wasn't because I was putting too much pressure on the engine or anything like that.
My car now has over 60K miles on it and you may say this has all happened because I did not take care of the car. But on the contrary, the dealership threw in 3 years, 36K miles free maintenance to entice me to buy the car. I brought my car in for every check-up, oil change, and every little thing that I preceived as a potential problem. I even babied the car for the first 5K miles and managed to get 400 miles to the tank out of this gas guzzler driving 55mph everywhere I went. And all these problems I've listed, except the steering noise (which started a month ago), have occurred while under warranty and free maintenance, and were somehow not fixable by Land Rover. I plan on trading in my Discovery rather than selling the car to someone because I cannot in good conscience sell this car to another person just to have it break down on them in a year.
Who knows, maybe I did get the rare lemon of the batch, but that's a lot of problems for this to be an isolated incident.
This is the last time I ever buy a car that is KNOWN to be 'high maintenance'. When you bring in your car and there's 10 other Discoveries waiting to be serviced, makes you wonder what's wrong with all the other ones, huh? Good luck to all present Land Rover owners, and I really hope the new Discoverys aren't pieces of crap after you put some miles on it. -
ngliebe Posts: 11I'm awfully close to purchasing a 97 with between 35 and 40K on it. I'd like to get five years of light driving out of it. I'm well aware of some very reliable SUV's out there, but they have no romance or style to them. Any advice on the intelligence of my decision to get a Disco vs a Pathfinder or Four-Runner?
...and what is the 52k service all about.
I'm not concerned about gas mileage as my other car does quite well. Should I buy an off-lease vehicle from the LR dealer or try to
haggle with a private seller? Help. -
nanuq Posts: 765Boy I wish you'd got here before your warranty ran out! I had all these same problems with mine and I know the solutions. Your passenger door needs some WD-40 shot up inside the mechanism weekly. They all do this. Your steering clunk is from either loose bushes, the swivel pins are loose (doubtful) or the track rod/ball joints are loose (doubtful). Get some BIG wrenches and torque the front end panhard rod, drop arms etc. to 100 ft-lb. Check also the rear end, the A-frame aligning the rear axle may be loose as may the trailing arms. Your exhaust whistling, hmmmm. Can it be the gasket between your manifolds and the Y-pipe going to the cats? Mine come loose every month. 5 minutes with a 13mm socket. Loss of power: man, this will hurt... I'd pursue this one with LRNA!! Starting in '96 with the 4.0 engine there is a problem with sticking valves. LRNA has a new design that replaces the sticking valves with "carbon cutting" valve stems. It's a warranty job and it solved my problem. This one is EASILY traceable by the OBDII system by a variety of fault codes. But the stumbling and loss of power are clues. You might also see if the fuel filter is plugged or spark wires are old (open the hood with engine running in a dark garage, look for the light show). Also check fuel pressure at the rail, see if the fuel pump is acting up.
I had a TON of problems with my '96 and got them all sorted... and have had not ONE problem in 2 years now.
I hope this helps, Good luck!! -Bob -
bikenlift Posts: 1My wife and I are debating on whether or not to purchase a 94 w/46,000 miles for $12,500 or a 97 w/35,000 miles for $17,000. The 94 is almost fulling loaded with leather/dual moon roofs and the rest, while the 97, although nice has fewer options. I've read most of the posts in regards to the Discovery's reliability and was wondering if we would get a longer life out of the 97 for the moneys worth. Is the extra money spent going to save us anything in the long run?
nanuq Posts: 765BUY THE '97!!! Absolutely no question. You may easily spend the difference in repairs. Have a long look at the vehicle history by VIN# and see if it's had trouble with sticking valves. This started in '96 and is VERY expensive when the warranty expires. Don't sweat the lack of fruit on the '97, that stuff eventually leaks or breaks anyway. Get a simple model and garnish at a later time. Good luck! -Bob

nanuq Posts: 765This gets old after awhile. A couple questions:
Travelman9, if you're so upset by the apparent lack of engineering, why are you here reading about Rovers? If it's to convince people of poor quality, then specifics are called for. If you had one and hated it and sold it, then I understand. It really is a love/hate thing.
Now, please provide examples of their poor engineering? Please distinguish between engineering and assembly in your reply.

UMass Extension Landscape Message August 10, 2012
"Impatiens Downy Mildew Update
Remove and dispose of all infected Impatiens walleriana plants (standard impatiens, double impatiens) as well as all nearby impatiens plants. When discarding the plants, bag and remove the entire plant including the soil and any plant or soil debris; do not compost. The white powdery spores on the leaf undersides do not overwinter, but are carried in wind and spread the disease. Also oospores (over-wintering spores) form inside infected stems and leaf petioles. Oospores survive in plant debris and are released into the soil as the stems decay. These resting spores are thick-walled, able to survive adverse conditions and can potentially survive in the soil for a period of years. Advise landscape and home garden customers to remove infected plantings of impatiens. Some landscapers and gardeners are replacing impatiens with begonias as one option this season. Tina Smith, UMass Extension, Greenhouse Crops and Floriculture Program" ...........................................................

Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Claire, I just heard Roberta Clark mention this UMass notice on The Point. Thank You! This the the first year that I am having a problem with Impatiens, this may be the answer. sooey |
Welcome back, sooey! ginny12 has a thread on Massive impatiens die-off--mystery that has more discussion on this depressing topic. Claire |
Hi Claire, Yes, after I read the UMass Ex letter I found the posting by ginny. We all seem to be having the same problems with our impatiens this season. I thought damage could be limited to only a few locations and that some pots may be fine. I then watched as a Hummingbird flew from one pot of impatiens to the next and saw the flaw in my thinking. I hate to lose impatiens, they are often the only color in my garden. sooey |

Audrina Patridge Scores New Reality Series
Don't worry too much about Audrina Patridge; she may have gotten the boot from Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday, but you'll be seeing the former Hills brunette back on the small screen shortly.
Just after going down in defeat on Tuesday, the 25-year-old reality TV sensation revealed to Us Magazine that she's lined up another reality series, which she'll be endeavoring upon in collaboration with producer Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Apprentice). Patridge told the magazine,
"The show with Mark Burnett got picked up by VH1 so the journey continues! It's a reality show about me and my family. Everything that people have wondered about me, they'll now get to see! And I hope Tony [Dovolani, her DWTS partner] will be on it! I'd love to make some trips to NY to see him because we are such good friends now!"
As for her elimination on Dancing With the Stars, Patridge remained philosophical, opining,
"There's nothing I can really say. It was meant to be, I guess."
She might not have won this year's DWTS mirror-ball trophy, but you have to admit: At least Patridge has a winning attitude.
Are you looking forward to watching Audrina's spinoff series? Let us know in the comments section.

Growing international attendance is also a common goal among meeting professionals, and with international participants representing 38 percent of total attendees at RSNA 2013, the organization took a number of steps to ensure they had a positive experience — from making signage more language-neutral and international-friendly to hosting "Navigating RSNA 2013 Schedule" sessions in seven different languages in the Global Connection Zone within the Member Services Area.
Also in the Member Services Area, an interactive Google Maps station allowed attendees to see who was at RSNA 2013 from their home country, and to add their own contact information to a directory for meeting requests. They could also view the geographic makeup of attendees via a large world map dotted with magnetic pushpins. Though simpler in execution than the Google Maps station, the map garnered significant interest from both attendees and the planners on the tour. "I definitely want to do the world map of who's coming from where," Paschall said. "We have international attendees, and though it's not a large percentage, it's fascinating for them to find out where others are coming from. Anybody could pull that off. It could be as simple as a $5 map from Staples and thumbtacks. You could do it for $10."
That type of customization could be applied to many of the big-show features that RSNA employs, Sparks said. In fact, adapting lessons learned to a meeting's unique personality and parameters is the only way to adopt them successfully. "I hope no one walked away from RSNA saying, 'I need to do this or exactly that,' because an organization that wants to implement change must custom-fit solutions for their particular audience and goals," Sparks said. "It's not about copying the latest or greatest trend, but looking at innovative ways to deliver content and interact with your attendees, and then studying the specific needs and learning styles of your attendees so you can apply those strategies to your audience."

'Airbag' Vest Protects from Falls
Developed by Japanese construction giant Kajima, the Airbag Lifejacket inflates before its wearer hits the ground.
See also: Techno Bra Calls the Cops
Like a traditional life preserver, the Airbag Lifejacket is worn over the worker's clothing. The jacket is based on the same technology used in automobile airbags, but is activated by the momentum of a fall rather than an impact.
The life jacket protects the most vulnerable parts of the upper body: the spine, neck, and waist. It inflates in 0.2 seconds in any fall from above 2 meters, Kajima said, reducing the shock of a fall by half. The company hopes it will prevent fatal falls.
The vest took Kajima four years to develop. An earlier version that covered the legs was unpopular with workers, who had to remove the contraption whenever they took off their shoes. The company started selling the current vest in Japan in late May for 98,000 yen (US$800). Spokesman Masaharu Yazawa said Kajima has no plans as yet to export the vest, citing legal hurdles.
Japan sees a disproportionately high number of fatal falls among construction workers. According to Japan's Association for Construction Industries Accident Prevention, 313 workers fell to their deaths last year.
The jacket may also offer protection to do-it-yourself home improvement enthusiasts and rock climbers.

Kahlig scores 30 as Oilers end two-game slide with win over Storm
By BRIAN LESTER
PAINESVILLE — Back-to-back losses by a single possession left the University of Findlay men's basketball team looking vulnerable in a conference where it has established a run of success.
But the script looked different Saturday afternoon at the Osborne Center for a team that has won six Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament championships in the past nine years.
The Oilers played aggressively and executed on both ends of the floor, and behind a 30-point performance from Greg Kahlig they nailed down an important 83-68 road win over the Storm.
Kahlig scored 20-plus points for the fifth time this season, reaching a career-high on the strength of five 3-pointers, and fueled Findlay (11-5, 8-4 GLIAC) to a victory that keeps it in a tie for first place with Hillsdale in the GLIAC South Division.
The junior forward did his damage early, burying four treys in a four-minute spurt to take the Oilers to a 28-14 lead with 9:30 to go in the opening half.
Shots don't always come easy for Kahlig, who is often guarded tightly because of his scoring ability, but because the Oilers opted to attack the inside first against the Storm (5-10, 2-9), he got open looks on kick-outs.
He finished 5 of 6 shooting from beyond the arc and nailed all nine of his free throws. The Oilers led 45-28 at halftime and Kahlig had 22 points at the break.
"My teammates did a really good job of getting in the lane and getting me wide-open looks," Kahlig said. "Thankfully, the shots went in and I was able to help spark the team."
The Oilers had gotten anxious from beyond the arc during their two-game slide, attempting 53 and only hitting 12. But Findlay made the most of its practice time on Friday to change its method of attack and went 8 of 17 from 3-point range.
"We worked hard in one day's time at coming to a jump stop at the end of dribble penetration and pass faking and seeing what is there," Findlay head coach Charlie Ernst said. "Fortunately, Greg kept getting open and we kept finding him. We play our best when we don't shoot 30 3-pointers. Tonight, we took 17. That is a good number for our team."
The Storm put an emphasis on pressing the Oilers, and late in the second half it translated into a comeback attempt after Lake Erie had fallen behind by 21 when Jake Heagen soared in to tip in a missed shot and put the Oilers in front 49-28.
Lake Erie capitalized on turnovers and got within 60-51 on two free throws by Nait Tait with less than 10 minutes to play.
Just when it appeared the Storm was building momentum, Dylan Kaufman knocked down a 3-pointer to push the lead out to 63-51.
The Oilers, who have held 12 opponents to 70 points or less, sealed the deal by going 11 of 14 from the line down the stretch. They were 21 of 26 overall. Aaron Robinson hit a 3-pointer down the stretch and Mark Frilling helped finish the job by scoring on a putback that made the score 80-62 with 2:52 remaining.
"It was really big for us to respond," Kahlig said. "They were playing really good defense and we had to get our composure back. Dylan hit a big three to get us back on track. We did a good job of finishing the game."
The Oilers also started well.
Alphonso Baity made his second straight start at point guard and the freshman set the tone early by driving inside. He slashed into the lane for a layup and drew a foul to put Findlay in front 12-5. Baity scored 10 points, dished out three assists and tallied two steals.
His all-around effort was vital as the Oilers got back on track, shooting 50 percent (27 of 54) from the field after two straight games of shooting less than 40 percent.
"Everyone will talk about the 30 Greg scored, and Greg did have a great game, but I am equally happy for Alphonso," Ernst said. "We encouraged him to be aggressive because he is a really good offensive player. "
Brad Piehl also cracked double figures, pumping in 10 points. Frilling came through with nine points and six rebounds.
The Storm shot 50.9 percent (28 of 55) from the floor and was paced by Riley Thomas, who time and again came up with big shots en route to scoring 16.
"We were able to protect the ball and did our best to grind them," Ernst said. "They wanted to pressure and it's hard to do time after time. It made them less effective on the offensive end."
For the Oilers, this was about finding a way to bounce back in the face of adversity.
"We needed this win badly and it feels great to win it," Kahlig said. "We played well against a good team and hopefully we can build on it and continue to play hard the rest of the season."

I have a Madame Alfred Cariere that's about 10 years old. It has two massive woody canes heading off to the left and one new shoot on the right side. The 2 woody canes now look pretty bad. What would happen if I prune to the ground, and just leave the one new cane? I'm tempted to shovel prune it, but I have a really nice clematis planted right next to it, and I'd hate to lose that. Help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
A more gradual strategy would be to take off just the worst one of the two big woody canes this year and leave the other. Then next year, after getting hopefully another new basal cane or two, take off the other big woody old cane. |
Why not take out one of the old canes this year, fertilize generously,and then,hopefully, when some more new canes sprout, take out the other old cane? seems a shame to SP it; sounds like it just needs re-juvenating... |
Actually, I am going to chance my arm and say go for it - off with its head. I have been quite brutal one several ocassions with New Dawn, Madame Gregoire Staechelin and yep, Mme Alfred Carriere, and chopped them to the ground (and New Dawn was done 2 years in succession). They did not die....in fact, both MAC and MGS came back stronger than ever (although ND sulked a little for a year (hardly surprising) but is making a comeback now. Further more, it will throw new canes from the base as long as you leave enough of the stumps for a dormant bud to emerge (so obviously, don't whack them off 2 inches above the graft, leave around 6inches and use a sharp pullsaw rather than trying loppers. The usual stuff with a spring top-dressing and a bit of care and love next season apply. |
I can personally attest that you can cut off fully 1/3 to 1/2 of MAC and not faze her one bit. My approach was more like the gradual approach suggested by hoovb and bart (sawed off some major canes and left others) and not the beheading suggested by campanula (I fear that might produce a "coppicing" effect that could be hard to sort out). In all events, I would be surprised if MAC wouldn't survive, no matter what, especially with a little TLC. |
Before you cut any of it, is the plant budded or own root? If it's budded, I'd think you would pretty much kill MAC but probably have a great crop of root stock. Own root might rebound eventually, but I agree that eliminating the worst, oldest cane first then the next the following year is probably better. How do they look "bad"? If it's just thick, old, bare and woody, that's normal. If it has galls on it, I'd dump the plant and take measures already discussed here on the forum. Kim |
I would suggest the slow deliberate method of pruning. I pruned a 5 year old Elizabeth Taylor that had grown 10 feet tall on 2 old 1" diameter canes very aggressively. Removed one completely and cut the other down to 5 ". I now have a Dr. Huey shooting up from the roots to deal with as the ET never resprouted. |

The boundaries between the subject and her surroundings are very hazing in Flower Garden by Vivienne Mok. The soft rose-tinted spreads feature delicate beauties Jone Vikauskaite and Anna Saminina amidst sets of floral wallpaper and textiles wearing silken diaphanous fabrics. But the main reason why there's such a consistency in aesthetics and mood throughout these exquisite images is because the photographer is also responsible for the styling, the hair and the makeup for this prepossessing photo shoot.
A gauzy haze coats the threshold between the viewer and the models within the youthful pictures, giving the series a surreal quality as if each spread is depicting a dream. Flower Garden by Vivienne Mok frames these dainty females, presenting the idea of an ethereal innocence.

Independence Hall
General Monroe has made Philadelphia the capital of his republic, which centers its operations in Independence Hall.
"Early on in talking with the writers, there was a desire to place Monroe in sort of the epicenter in what in the past would have been [a place of] power early in American history. So Independence Hall is obviously a strong choice," Meerdink said.
The production design team modeled their Independence Hall sets off of the real American landmark.
"We researched and referenced Independence Hall and down to all the molding details and window details and finishes," Meerdink said. "We were able to get the historic colors directly from the [National] Park Service that runs Independence Hall. So we stayed quite true to the look and layout of rooms."

The 'erased'
The Slovenian authorities failed to restore the status of permanent residents of a group of people known as the "erased" or to ensure that they have full access to economic and social rights. Moreover, those affected by the "erasure" continued to be denied access to full reparation, including compensation.
The "erased" included at least 18,305 individuals unlawfully removed from the Slovenian registry of permanent residents in 1992. They were mainly people from other former Yugoslav republics, many of them Roma, who had been living in Slovenia and had not acquired Slovenian citizenship after Slovenia became independent. While some were forcibly expelled, many lost their jobs and/or could no longer be legally employed. They had no, or limited, access to comprehensive healthcare after 1992, in some cases with serious consequences for their health. Of those "erased" in 1992, thousands remained without Slovenian citizenship or a permanent residence permit.
In October the government presented to parliament a draft constitutional law, which was intended to resolve the status of the "erased". Amnesty International called for the withdrawal of the draft law which, as it was presented to parliament, continued to violate the human rights of the "erased" and further aggravated their disadvantaged position. The draft law maintained discriminatory treatment of the "erased", provided new legal grounds for more discriminatory actions by the authorities, including the possibility of revising decisions on individual cases where permanent residency had been restored, and failed to retroactively restore the status of permanent residents of all the "erased". The draft also disclaimed responsibility by state bodies for the "erasure" and explicitly excluded the possibility of compensation for the human rights violations suffered by the "erased".
Discrimination against Roma
The authorities failed to fully integrate Romani children in education and tolerated in certain primary schools the creation of special groups for Romani children, where in some cases a reduced curriculum was taught.
The so-called "Bršljin model", used at the Bršljin elementary school in the city of Novo Mesto, provided tuition in separate groups for pupils who needed help in certain subjects. Teachers in Bršljin admitted that such groups were composed mostly, and sometimes exclusively, of Roma. The Slovenian authorities claimed that such a model did not result in the segregation of Romani children and that pupils were only temporarily placed in separate groups. Amnesty International was informed that the model was still being developed. Further details had not been received by the end of the year.

- Slovenia: Draft Constitutional Law perpetuates discriminatory treatment suffered by the 'erased' (EUR 68/003/2007)

In recognition of National Adoption Month, I have invited my niece, Renata Sledge, to share some of her insights into adoption as it relates to the field of early childhood education. Renata and Rory are first time parents of their beautiful little girl, my niece, Clara. Renata and I talk often and I am often surprised at some of the issues their family faces in everyday situations as adoptive parents. I have asked Renata if she would share with all of us a few of her personal experiences and I hope you will take the time to read each of her short but thought provoking posts this week.
Adoption is Mysterious and Miraculous
By Renata Sledge
Adoption is both mysterious and miraculous but it is because it is mysterious and miraculous that people are often extremely curious when they meet an adopted child and his or her family…
That mystery surrounding adoption often leads people to questions like: Why was the child adopted? How was the child adopted? What happened to the birth mother? Where did the child come from? And the list of questions go on…
The 'need' or 'want' to know…
When a young family enters an early childhood classroom, there is often times a 'need' or a 'want' to know more about the child or the circumstances surrounding adoption. It is difficult for parents and teachers to know how to talk about adoption. I am hopeful these next few posts will give early childhood education teachers and families some ideas of how to approach the topic of adoption in the classroom.
A little bit about Renata…
Renata Sledge is a licensed clinical social worker at a dialysis center in Illinois where she focuses on helping patients and their families adjust to the life changes that come with dialysis. As a social worker, Renata has also worked with children diagnosed with severe mental illness and exposed to trauma and abuse. As a music therapist, Renata worked with children who were hospitalized with a variety of illnesses and conditions. She has also worked with adult cancer patients and families affected by cancer.
Renata's most important role is being a mother to Clara, who was born in May, 2010. Renata and her husband are thankful every day for the honor and gift of being Clara's parents. Renata is hopeful that sharing her family's experiences and Clara's experiences with early childhood education will be helpful to teachers and parents.

The finish on my maple dresser's top was ruined when a bottle of nail polish remover was spilled on it. When I wiped up the remover it took the finish off. There is no stain. It looks like just a clear matte finish (polyurethane?). Can I just sand down the whole top and apply polyurethane? Should I strip of the remaining finish first and then sand? Someone suggested restorafinish. Would this work on a fairly large area? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's probably lacquer (manufacturers don't use poly). See if you can take the back off the dresser to get the top unscrewed, it'll be easier to refinish the top with it off. Then strip it with a chemical stripper and refinish either with lacquer, or if you often leave a bottle of acetone there, use poly. Acetone won't damage poly. Good luck finding something to match existing finish - you might find you have to stain it (Natural or other light color) after you strip and sand. To check, wipe it with mineral spirits after sanding (good way to get the dust off) and check the color. That's the color it will be after a clear finish. Water-based poly won't yellow, and Minwax has a Wipe-on version that would be easy - just takes several coats, but dries so quickly you won't have to worry about dust nibs. HTH. |
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. I just about straggled my teenage daughter when this happened! |
Have you tried it yet? How'd it go? |

SFI Group has announced new training initiatives as part of its broader recovery plan.
With the slogan "on a mission to develop talent from the bar to the boardroom", the company has launched four-week management induction programmes with the aim of creating "role model" general managers to drive the business forward from the front line.
What is good for the Indians, it seems, is also good for the chiefs. To keep the bosses on their toes the group has also introduced an "excellence in management" programme for senior managers up to boardroom level.
Human resources director Helen Scott, who criticised the overall standard of industry training, said: "These people development programmes are mission critical and a major part of our recovery programme rests on recruiting, developing and retaining the best talent."

The area, known as the Baker neighborhood or Broadway Terrace--absolutely never the phonetically incorrect "SoBo"--is a rough commercial mix of diverse businesses ranging from Manos, the popular specialist in Mexican handicrafts, to the Crypt, a nationally known purveyor of S&M accoutrements.
But Rule knew that her gallery needed more than good publicity or an exotic locale to re-establish itself as a must-stop on the art-show circuit. She also needed to come up with a first show that would lure everyone on the scene into her new space. And luck isn't what has brought the crowds through the doors the last couple of weeks--it was the savvy choice to launch the gallery's new location with a drop-dead gorgeous show of recent oil paintings by Denver's quintessential abstract painter, Dale Chisman.
Chisman is without question one of the most important contemporary local artists, as well as one of the finest abstractionists, to have ever worked in our region--no small accomplishment since abstract art has a six-decades-long history here.
Born "right in the neighborhood in West Denver," where he still maintains his studio, Chisman attended the Denver public schools. In the late Fifties, while a student at North High School, he studied studio art, as did so many other Denver students, with the late Martha Epp. Epp is still remembered for her powerful Modernist work of the Fifties and Sixties. But Epp wasn't Chisman's only link to mid-century modern art in Colorado. In 1961 he attended a summer session with renowned printmaker Mary Chenoweth at Colorado College. The influence of Chenoweth, known for her bold colors and sleek geometry, remains with Chisman even today.
Like the work of Epp and Chenoweth, Chisman's art of the Sixties was what he calls "fairly figurative." But even those early pieces were executed with the loose, painterly brushwork more commonly associated with abstraction. For most of that decade, Chisman was studying art at the University of Colorado. The Boulder of the day was a vibrant regional art center, a gathering place not only for the famous artists who were frequent visitors to the town, but for a generation of young artists--Clark Richert and John DeAndrea among them--who would later become the Denver area's old masters.
Chisman also traveled during the Sixties, pursuing his studies at Yale and at London's Royal College of Art, an experience he says he hated. Fortunately for Chisman, he was able to escape the drudgery of an English art school by working as a studio assistant to David Hockney, with whom he had developed a close personal and professional relationship when the British pop artist taught in Boulder.
Chisman's experiences at Yale, where artist-teachers like Lester Johnson and Louis Finkelstein had a direct line from New Haven to the New York school, and his relationship with Hockney, who had his own pipeline to New York, led Chisman to decide to move permanently to the Big Apple in 1969. He found ready acceptance in New York, being picked up by the prestigious Martha Jackson Gallery in 1972 and included in that gallery's widely acclaimed "New Images Show" the following year.
Chisman's paintings of the early Seventies were still somewhat figurative, but his style was increasingly moving toward abstraction. That meant swimming against the stream in New York, where recognizable subject matter had gained the high ground over abstraction in the battle for contemporary cachet. But Chisman clearly was comfortable playing the outsider. He felt he could express himself "better through pure form than through [objects] which already have inherent meanings," he says. And by the time he returned to Colorado in 1984, he had worked exclusively in abstraction for a decade.
It would not be an understatement to call Chisman's reappearance here a triumph. Though his highfalutin New York credentials were largely unknown locally, it was hard to miss the heroic scope and high concept that exuded from his works, which were first glimpsed by most local observers at Pirate in 1986. Chisman was immediately hailed as one of the city's great artists, and in the years since, he has only consolidated his position as an art star, producing a body of work that not only is consistent, but has followed a number of adventurous directions over the years.
This is not to say that Chisman's work is stylistically varied. His paintings are always concerned with abstract expressionism, today remembered as the flagship style of the New York school--and still flourishing even after many of its rivals have come and gone. But Chisman has never honored the inherent constraints of the style, always attempting, in his words, to "push it further."
And Chisman does push on, as the eight magnificent paintings that command Rule's main exhibition space demonstrate. These new works, supplemented by a few mixed-media-on-paper compositions, appear to be an outgrowth of the pieces that were exhibited last year in a group show at the University of Denver's Shwayder art center. In those paintings, linear elements were juxtaposed with organic shapes. In the more recent works at Rule, Chisman has integrated these two disparate approaches to formal composition. And like the paintings at DU, the ones at Rule often feature a dark blue color scheme, though in this case it's ultramarine instead of cobalt.
