I have been searching for info on the difference of using a 100 gal. propane tank compared to using a 100 lb. propane tank. and when I came across your link I seen that you were using a 20 lb. tank for your Empire vent free heater. How did that work for you last winter? I have been looking at the Mr. Heater like you were talking about Mollyd. Both heaters seem to be pretty much the same.
What kind of experinces has anyone had eithere way? I am looking at picking up two 100 lb propane tanks from Home Depot....$180.00 and a splitters from a local RV place that I haven't priced yet but figure its going to be at least $60.00 and add another $30 for a longer hose and fittings .. and then to have them both filled before I come home from Home Depot at aprox 50 gal worth at $2.60 a gal... another $130.00 start up fee. The gas company's I talked to said they wouldn't fill up those tanks here at home that I would have to take them to them to have them filled up. I have an appointment with a guy from Amerigas Monday to check out the area and his Guesstimate is somewhere around $600.00 to have my heater hooked up with a full 125 gal tank of propane.... To me that sounds like a better option to have the rented tank filled up by them then to have me yank out and have my own much smaller tanks refilled down the road. |

Follow-Up Postings:
I haven't an HFGH, so can't give you any intelligence about it, but if you do a cost-benefit analysis on paying the cost of a larger tank upfront, and the lesser cost for the LP in bulk, you would surely have a fairly quick payback over the course of a winter or three. Not to mention the other gas you would pay for in the process, that your vehicle would burn. |
Hi, I haven't been here for a while and by sheer luck I popped in elsewhere where someone told me about t your post jba3fan . Last winter I used the Mr. Heater till about January when it went belly up. I returned it to Walmart where I had bought it and went to Home Depot where I bought a Pro Com Blue Flame heater. It worked pretty well the rest of the winter but I found that since it was a ventless heater I ran into air problems. The heater would use up the oxygen in the greenhouse and shut off. I then made a vent for it in a side wall and rigged up a boot and dryer exhaust hose to get air into the heater. This too worked well till we had a real bad snowstorm and the snow covered the vent! I had to trudge out there in the middle of the night, clear the snow and rig something to keep the snow from clogging it up again. This year I set the vent opening up much higher than before.

Thanks Molly I went ahead today and I am going to go with AmeriGas and have them put in a 124 gal tank with 100 gal propane Free rental on the tank if I use 60 gals of propane a year. $50.00 instalation fee and one hour of labor at $89.00(thats going to be well worth the price to save me my time running back and forth to Home Depot). HAZMAT fee and $96.66 for Permit fees $2.349 a gal delivered for propane is better then lugging a 100 pound tank arround. I ended up with a 20,000 btu buddy heater, its ventless so I have taken note of adding intake hose near the heater. |

Epica Wolf Claws Review: The Perfect Shredding Tool
As many of you know, I absolutely LOVE to cook. Daniel and I usually only go out to eat when we have company over, and it's even more rare for packaged pre-made foods to make their way in our home. You would think with both us working from home that I constantly have time for complicated meals. While I wish I could say this was the case – I normally spend my time stressing out about meals, especially if I lost track of time. One of the kitchen tasks I hate doing the most is shredding apart cooked meat. It is time consuming, messing, and a real pain – especially if you are using the two fork method of shredding chicken. Recently, I had an opportunity to review a new kitchen tool that seemed perfect for busy cooks like you and me – the Epica Wolf Claws.
Epica Wolf Claws
If you are someone who spends quite a bit of time in the kitchen, you will fall in love with the Epica Wolf Claws. These ergonomically designed kitchen utensils are four to five times wider than the average fork and sharp enough to cut just about any type of meat. While they're primarily for shredding meat, they are also perfect for gripping, lifting, carving, or even turning large pieces of meat. Since they are heat resistant for up to 450 degree Fahrenheit, they are ideal for grilling as well. As well, the Epica Wolf Claws are made from heavy duty nylon poured into a solid cast, making it super easy to clean since it lacks the holes and grooves that make many kitchen utensils a pain!
Epica Wolf Claws: Usability
When I first opened the Epica Wolf Claws, I have to admit, I was a bit intimidated by them. They reminded me of the fighting claws you would sometimes see in action movies. Once my husband and I started using them, they felt just LIKE the fighting claws from movies. They really do tear through meat like nothing I have seen. It truly cut my shredding time in half or more, especially with my enchiladas recipe. What was even more amusing is that you really can use them any way you like. I used one of the claws for leverage (I have small hands), while my husband used them both together to rip apart the meat even faster. I really can't stress how easy these are to use and how much of a time saver they are when it comes to cutting up meat.
As for cleaning, I found they were just as easy to clean. We threw the Epica Wolf Claws in the dishwasher and they cleaned beautifully, even on the top shelf. I am one of those people who love the convenience of a dishwasher and I hate anything that has be strictly hand washed. In my book, this made the Wolf Claws even better!
Epica Wolf Claws: Durability
Since I have only owned the Wolf Claws for about a month, I can only talk about what I have noticed during the time I have used them. The Epica Wolf Claws are made of very thick nylon, and I have to admit, it surprised me that they weren't metal, especially with how thick and solid they feel in your hands. Unlike some sharp cooking tools I have tried, it also doesn't seem like the tips on these claws are going to break anytime soon. If you have young children, however, I would recommend treating the Wolf Claws like knives since they are very sharp and aren't toys (even if my husband was playing with them when they came!).
Epica Wolf Claws: Overall
So far, I absolutely love my Epica Wolf Claws. They do an amazing job tearing up meat for my recipes and are super easy to clean. Since they are fairly inexpensive, they are really the perfect tool for just about any kitchen. From my own experience, I can easily give the Wolf Claws an A+ rating. If you are looking for a fairly inexpensive but unique gift to bring to a wedding shower or want to treat yourself, I highly recommend giving the Wolf Claws a try!
Epica Wolf Claws: Where to Purchase
Want to know where you can purchase the Epica Wolf Claws? I have not seen the Wolf Claws in any big box retailers, but have seen them for sale on Amazon.com. They retail for about $25 and regularly sold on Amazon for $19.95. Last I checked, however, they were currently on sale on the product page for $13.95. Since this price drop happened in the past few days, I have no clue if this is temporary or not, so you may want to pick them while they are cheap, especially if you cook as much as everyone in my family!

Oh I definitely need this! I afrequently prepare food that requires shredding up chicken, and two forks just isn't cutting it!
I have these & they are great! We love cooking boston butts and I am the one that used to set there with 2 forks trying to get all that meat apart. Not anymore these are awesome!
these are crazy awesome – and hubby would love them!
Mrs R A Chapman recently posted..Have You Seen the Fairy Hobmother? -
I could really use this thing, especially when tryign to cut up chicken!!
Shred it and forget it! Looks like a cool tool. I don't need to shred meat enough to need a dedicated tool but if I did this would be awesome!

This is such a neat product and such a simple idea! I could really use something like this!

How cool! I definitely could use a pair of these! They put a smile on my face, too!
They look supre simple to use, which is a plus in my book!
Bonnie recently posted..BARBAR Blow Dryer Review – Giveaway exp 2/28 #Shenanigans -
I HATE shredding meat too! I had no idea these existed. I want them now! So awesome!
Motherhood on the Rocks recently posted..I Will Not Be Silent -
Wow, those are awesome!! Like Wolverine, in the kitchen!
Wow these are so neat and inexpensive. I wish I would of had them yesterday when I made my Italian Beef recipe Thanks for posting.
Jennifer Pierce recently posted..Snow Day!! -
Wow, these are really creative kitchen utensils. I was a bit confused at first. They look like toys.
The hubby would love these for sure! He cooks most of the meats and I do the sides. The price is right on these too, thanks…
Rhonda – YVSG recently posted..How to Make a Diaper Cake -
If my husband or son would see these, they might think they are Wolverine and not use them for their intended purpose. Pretty neat little item.
We have a competition BBQ team, and these are used by nearly all BBQers. Let the claws do the work when you use them for pulled pork. Otherwise, you over work the meat and it gets mushy. Takes some practice.
I HATE spending tons of time standing at the counter scratching away at meat with a couple of forks, I may invest in a pair of these!
Maybe I missed it, but what are they made of?
I'll look into this as something I'd use, seem like pulled pork is hiting the air ways now and I can't buy it pre-packaged. Thans for sharing.
Since I am the primary meal planner this will work for me.
I love making pulled pork and shredded chicken tacos! This would be so helpful compared to forks!
It sure beats hand shredding with a fork. Thank you for bringing attention to it. I never had heard of it.
I soooo need these in my kitchen! What a help they would be!!
I don't mind cooked meat. Raw meat makes me ill.I've never seen these before.
I never knew there was a product like this. I usually shred with a fork but this looks so much easier…amazing.
Really cool new kitchen tool! Great to cut-up roasts or even that leftover Easter Ham!

I didn't even know this existed!! I must have it!! I cook chicken in the crockpot to shred and freeze a LOT, this would make my life much easier!!

Need some advice as I am not real handy.
Garage door (metal) is 20 years old and needs painting. I washed it with powerwasher and it took some paint off, now looks bad. What paint to use for metal door? Do I need to get all the original paint off? Do I need to use a primer? Also, need to replace the rubber seal, is it best to nail, screw or staple this to the door? Also have some water coming up in an area on the cement floor evidently from high ground water or a spring. Just gets damp from time to time. What should I use to seal this? Boy, that is a lot of garage issues! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Mondo, An acrylic enamel (water-based) would work best for you and this situation. All loose/flaking paint should be removed, but it is not necessary to remove all paint. If the old paint is thick, you may want to use some fine sandpaper and feather the edges for a smooth finish. If the old paint is glossy, use fine sandpaper to de-gloss it. Water should not bead on it, if it does, the new paint will not stick. As far as the damp area on the floor, are you sure there is no plumbing running in or near that area? If not, you may check into a product I use with tile called RedGuard. There are also a few other products for sealing basements, etc. |

Nguzunguzu's NA Unleashes His Most 'XTREME' Flute Samples
You only need to look at the cover of NA from Nguzunguzu's new record, XTREME TREMBLE, for a vision of what's in store for your speakers. The artwork features a Second Life Superdome being wiped out by a Sandy-scale information tsunami and the track titles include keywords like "Xtreme," "Gasp," and "Storm." This immaculately produced record, released on Fade To Mind, shakes foundations like a 700-year storm fueled by unchecked technology. My landlord, safe to say, was not a fan.
This is dread rave music too slippery to be caught in a genre cage—fitting for a new world verging on the singularity. It leads off with "XTREME TREMBLE," a relentless tune with massive percussion that constantly shifts places with a nervous energy. Then it surfaces with "Flute Gasp," offering a chance to catch your breath in the eye of the hurricane, only to start hailing 808 triplets, rapidfire kicks, and tomblike echoes on "Storm B," which takes a while to build but hits full stride about halfway through.
To celebrate the release, we spoke with NA about his favorite flute music. Since he's not the only fan of synth flutes, he put together this quick mix of his top flute picks and told us a bit about each one. All my elves to the dancefloor!
KG - "Midnight (Flute_Riddm)"
Used to play this all the time. Classic.
DJ Quest - "Devils Bay"
Also classic. Andre Nickatina samples the same flutes in a track called "Bay Bridge." I've read it's a Reason preset sample!
Mr. Slash - "Practice Hours"
The message is, if you practice the flute for many hours, you can sound this good.
Normal Nada - "Ku Indi"
Nothing normal about this flute note.
Usher - "Appetite (Kingdom Edit)"
Flutes make me very emotional—true story.

Benefits Glossary
General Benefits Terms
Columbia University Fringe Pool Financial Terms
General Benefits Terms
Annual Benefits Salary: Used to determine employees' medical contributions, Child Care Benefit eligibility, Life Insurance coverage and Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage amount.

Appeal of Claim: If you have a claim for a benefit which is denied in whole or in part, you must receive a written explanation of the reason for the denial. Under ERISA, you have the right to appeal the denial of a claim and have the denial decision reconsidered.
Coinsurance: Cost-Sharing between you and the healthcare Plan for Eligible Expenses for certain Covered Health Services, where you are required to pay a percentage of the cost. For example, a 90/10 coinsurance plan with a $200 deductible requires you to pay 10% of the covered costs after the Annual Deductible has been met, while the Plan will be responsible for paying the remaining 90%.
Copay: A fixed amount you pay when you receive a healthcare service. The amount can vary by the type of Covered Health Service. Typically you pay a copay for a visit to an in-network provider's office.
Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA): An adjustment made to income in order to adjust benefits to reflect the effects of inflation.
Cost Sharing: The share of plan costs that you pay out of your own pocket. This generally includes Annual Deductibles, Coinsurance and Copays, but does not include premiums or the cost of non-covered services.
Covered Health Services: Health services, including supplies, which are determined by the Plan to be provided for the purpose of preventing, diagnosing or treating sickness, injury, mental illness, substance use disorders, or their symptoms. Covered services are listed in the Summary Plan Descriptions at http://hr.columbia.edu/benefits/spds.
Deductible: The amount you pay for Covered Health Services each year before the healthcare Plan begins to pay for expenses.
Eligible Expenses: Charges for Covered Health Services rendered, or supplies furnished by a certified health professional under the Plan. Eligible Expenses may be subject to Cost Sharing and/or annual or lifetime maximums as specified by the terms of the Plan.

For Out-of-Network providers, Eligible Expenses are limited to 190% of the Medicare Maximum Allowable Charge.
Evidence of Insurability/Evidence of Good Health: Documentation of good health by an applicant for insurance. Usually this takes the form of a medical examination. Enrollment in Optional Term Life and Optional Long-Term Disability benefits require such evidence if the employee has not elected the plans within 31 days of their eligibility date and, for Long-Term Care, if elected 60 days after date of hire.
Exclusion(s): A health condition or service not eligible for coverage under the healthcare Plan.
Explanation of Benefits (EOB): A statement provided by a health insurer to the plan participant that explains how their claim was paid. The EOB typically includes the date of service, type of service rendered, eligible expense, amount paid by the Plan and the balance to be paid by the plan participant. If applicable, it will also provide any reason(s) the service or supply was not covered by the Plan.
Guaranteed Issue: A feature of certain insured benefits that permits you to enroll regardless of health status, age, gender, or other factors that might predict the use of the benefit.
Imputed Income: The value of an employer-sponsored benefit or service that is considered by the IRS as compensation and added to an employee's taxable wages in order to properly withhold income and employment taxes from the wages.

Non-Preventive Drugs: Prescription medications that are designed and intended to treat a specific condition. If either a therapeutic class or specific drug is not defined as a Preventive Drug, then it is considered a Non-Preventive drug.
Open Enrollment: The annual period in which employees can select from a choice of benefits options with an effective date of January 1 of the following year.
Out-Of-Network Benefits: Covered Health Services provided by non-network Providers. Individuals usually are responsible for additional Out-of-Pocket Costs if they use an out-of-network provider. Eligible Expenses for out-of-network services are indexed to 190% of the Medicare Maximum Allowable Charges (PDF).
Out-of-Pocket Costs: Expenses for medical services that are not reimbursed by the plan. Out-of-Pocket Costs include deductibles, coinsurance, copayments for Covered Health Services, costs above the Eligible Expense, and costs for services that are not covered under the Plan.
Out-of-Pocket (OOP) Maximum: The maximum amount a patient must pay for Covered Health Services during a plan year.
The in-network Out-of-Pocket Maximum includes the Annual Deductible, Medical (but not prescription drug) Copays and Coinsurance. The OOP maximum does not include premiums, payments made for non-covered services, or charges above Eligible Expenses.
Point Of Service (POS) Plan: Typically, this type of plan offers in and out-of network options.
Precertification: A process where the health plan carrier is contacted before certain services are provided, to determine if it is a Covered Health Service. Precertification is not a guarantee your health plan will cover the cost of the services. Also called prior authorization, preauthorization or prior approval.
Pre-Tax Contribution: A contribution which is made from the employee's paycheck before federal and/or state taxes are withheld.
Preventive Care: Medical care that focuses on health maintenance such as annual physicals, certain screening tests, and child immunization programs.

After the initial enrollment as a new hire, or after annual Benefits Open Enrollment, employees are only able to change benefits for the remainder of the calendar year if they experience a Qualified Life Status Change.
Self-Insured Plan: Columbia University's medical and prescription benefits are "self-insured." Columbia University does not pay "premiums" to each of the insurance carriers. Columbia University pays employee healthcare claims plus an administrative fee to the healthcare plan carriers.

I cann,t seem to find anything that gives some kind of time span to a iris. Do they bloom ,then in the same year start making babys. Then nothing but making babys the next year while the babys from the prevous years babys grow, then the first years babys bloom the following year? So the babys would be blooming on thier third year? Does any of this make since or did I jumble it up? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds like you're talking about strawberries. :-) There are plenty of people here more expert than I, and I trust you'll hear from them. But in simple terms, my experience has been that iris bloom in spring and then put their energy into expanding. There are no obvious "babies," but if you started out with a one-stalk iris, the following spring you're likely to see more than one stalk. In other words, the rhizomes increase in number and size, and the stalks multiply accordingly. Hope this helps. |
You've got it. The rhizome that has sent up a bloom stalk will not send up another. Exception: some cultivars will send up more than one blm.slk. per rhizome. The rhizome that has bloomed is now reproducing. Some are very vigorous, producing lots of babies that grow to blooming size quickly (Thornbird is one). Others may produce only 1-3 babies. Mine take at least 2 years to grow large enuf to bloom. When the babies have established their own root systems the mother rhizome withers away and dies. When you dig one up you will see pinholes on the bottom where roots used to be. |
I'm glad Iris_Gal stepped in. I apologize for my misinformation! ("Learn something new every day," my dad used to say.) |
Alisande ~ just different language for the same thing you said :-) I read a nifty article about thinning a clump in ground rather than lifting it for division. That way the newer babies' roots aren't as disturbed and bloom is less interrupted. I have heard people say this iris skips a year in blooming. Now I know that means its baby rhizome need 2 years to become blooming size. |
Thanks thats what I was thinking but couldn,t confirm it anywhere. So some reproduce more and quicker than others . That explains alot. I have some that seem to produce more fans but so far no noticable toes. Just a huge mother rhizome. So I,m guessing that at some point that mother will shrink and allow the toes to grow out. |

As a recent devotee of Al's Gritty Mix, I've been touring the nooks and crannies of my area (central MD) collecting supplies. After a brief and slightly psychotic session using wire cutters to snip out 3x3 squares from the 1/8" hardware cloth I did manage to find, I decided to consult ebay for a pre-made 3/8-ish sieve. Expensive, but cheaper than therapy or a 100' roll of 3/8" cloth. Success! But I wanted to share some of the links if anyone else is suffering from the same madness: |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here is a link to a manufacturer who makes steel wire cloth in different sizes the closest to 3/8" (0.375") is 0.38" opening size. Seems cheaper and larger than those in your links. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wire Cloth
Thank you! Figures :> I think I had seen this site, but at many others like it the minimum order amount was insane or the shipping was wicked. But I just placed an order there and the shipping was less than $7 for UPS Ground (for 7' ea. of 2 diff. size meshes). Of course, you don't know that until you enter payment details and hit "submit order". Now I can build actual screening trays. Hooray! |
I made up one screen 2 foot square of 2x4 lumber with 1/2 inch hardware cloth stapled to the bottom. Any smaller mesh I need is simply laid on top of 1/2 inch screen. I have found no problem buying what size and amount I need by the foot at my local Ace Hardware. Al |
You've got a better ACE hardware store than us! Even the longtime locally owned hardware store that sells everything under the sun doesn't carry the screen by the foot anymore, and only has 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 in rolls for $20+ apiece. They couldn't even order a 3/8" roll. But I used the link provide by JYounk and ordered 3/8" cloth. Pine fines seem to be the norm around here (as opposed to the fir bark). Even getting those is challenging. First try was something from Lowe's, and the bag was filled not just with sapwood, but white mold. I just built a test screen with some scrap 1x3 I had. I should have checked my email earlier, and I would have done it with the largest mesh---I used 1/8" of course :), because that's a great shortcut idea to just lay the smaller mesh inside the same frame! My dad was suggesting using two layers of 1/2" offset by 1/8" in 2 directions, but it was starting to make my head hurt. Based on your method, I'm thinking of putting together some aspen lathe strips we used for kindling this past winter, in a flat frame the inside dimensions of the main screening box. Then I can push that down over the pieces of loose screen so they'll lie flatter against the 1/2". Or does that not seem to be in an issue in your experience? -Tara |

I was having the same trouble locating a 3/8" sieve when I lucked out just roaming the internet. gardenershub.com offers a sturdy well-built one which I've been using for two months. My impression after much use is that it's built to last and will take a lot of punishment! Price at that time was about $23 plus postage. |
Check out your local nursery or big box store for the 16 inch square nursery trays. I have one that has a 3/8 bottom mesh, one with 7/16, and a few larger sizes. You can usually get these for free if you buy a few six packs of vegies. The nicest one I have is a Traex flatware 19 inch square flatware dishwasher rack with a 3/8 inch bottom mesh. The sides are 3.5 inches tall but I bought an extender to make them 5 inches tall. I paid about 20 bucks for the rack at a local restaurant supply. Milk crates also make good sieves. I don't have 3/8 but one of mine is 3/4. It can be useful to make a first pass of some larger sized bark. It can speed up the sifting if you get the bigr pieces out first. Zeuspaul |

MESA, Ariz. – And then there were none.
When the Cubs sent shortstop Javy Baez to minor-league camp in another round of spring cuts Saturday, they turned out the last of their brightest lights in camp, the last remaining member of their Fab Four prospects to get cut.
Baez, Baseball America's fifth-ranked prospect, said he wasn't disappointed.
"Not really," he said. "We've got a lot of veteran guys. I understand."
Baez, 21, hit .310 with a team-leading five home runs and a 1.048 OPS. He also was one shy of the team lead with 13 strikeouts and didn't have a walk. He didn't have a hit in 13 tries with men on base.
"A lot of times we don't need home runs," Baez said. "We just need an RBI or a bunt. So it's not all about home runs and hitting the ball hard."
Regardless of how much service-time issues come into play compared to performance, many expect Baez to make his big-league debut sometime this summer.
"I think he's made a lot of progress," manager Rick Renteria said. "One of the things we've talked about, to make sure he understands, is to continue to work on his defense, to go down there and put together some good at-bats, try to get on base a little bit more, do the process, and just go out there and be professional.
"He's been hustling, busting his rear end this spring, and he's looked good."
His departure assures another season that will start with the Cubs' most exciting players in the minors. Baez joined Kris Bryant, Albert Almora and Jorge Soler.
If there was a consolation for Baez, he was fine Saturday, the day after he left a game because of a bruised heel suffered running out a grounder.
Seven players in all were cut Saturday, leaving the roster at 37.
Six, including Baez, were reassigned to minor-league camp. The others were pitchers Chang-Yong Lim, Brian Schlitter, and Jonathan Sanchez, infielder Chris Valaika and outfielder Casper Wells.
Right-hander Blake Parker, who had a 2.72 ERA in 49 relief appearances last year, was optioned to Iowa.

A writer with a declining career arrives in a small town as part of his book tour and gets caught up in a murder mystery involving a young girl. That night in a dream, he is approached by a mysterious young ghost named V. He's unsure of her connection to the murder in the town, but is grateful for the story being handed to him.

continental slope
continental slope
nounDefinition of CONTINENTAL SLOPE
First Known Use of CONTINENTAL SLOPE
continental slope
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Seaward border of a continental shelf. The world's combined continental slope is about 200,000 mi (300,000 km) long and descends at an average angle of about 4° from the edge of the continental shelf to the beginning of the ocean basins at depths of 330–10,500 ft (100–3,200 m). The slope is most gradual off stable coasts without major rivers and is steepest off coasts with young mountain ranges and narrow continental shelves. Slopes off mountainous coastlines and narrow shelves commonly have outcrops of rock. The dominant sediments of continental slopes are muds; there are smaller amounts of sediments of sand or gravel.

Canadians Have Big Brains
Announcing the winner of last week's Ingenious Solo Challenge |
Ingenious | Published 02 July 2009 |
Last week, we presented the first-ever Ingenious Solo Challenge, and asked our readers to put their puzzle-solving skills to the test. The response was outstanding!
Of the dozens who participated, only a select few achieved the optimum tile placement: a grand total of 58 points. And, of course, only one such entry could arrive first, thereby claiming for its sender the title of "Most Amazing Brain."
Your winner is Andrew H., from Burlington, Ontario, Canada! Andrew sent in the following placements:
with the following individual scores:
red-13, green-10, blue-14, orange-7, yellow-9, purple-5
...for a total of 58 points! What all of the highest entries had in common was that they placed their tiles in an order that allowed them to maximize their points by scoring off of each other. In Ingenious, this strategy is invaluable.
The following participants deserve honorable mentions. They had equally impressive scores, but submitted their responses slightly later than Andrew:
Shawn R. from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Christian B. from Broomfield, Colorado, USA
Romain R. from Toulouse, France
Alexander B. from Moscow, Russia
Thanks again to all who participated! And if you see someone with an amazing-looking brain on the streets of Burlington, Ontario, say hello! It may be Andrew!
Ingenious is a strategy puzzle game, in which you must match up colors/shapes in order to put the most together. Keep an eye on how your scores are advancing, as the player with the highest scoring bottom score wins!
Thanks for your congratulations! This contest was a lot of fun... I figured my numbers were good, but I had no idea I'd be first! Way to go to all the runners up too!
Congratz Andrew, you had me beat by a few mins/hours.
Blast! I knew I shouldn't have waited til after work to submit! Darn you clever Canadians ;-) Thanks FFG, this was a fun puzzle, I hope you keep them coming!
Dang it one more point i had 57 ugh
Cool, my home town is Burlington Ontario, born an raised there for the most part. Now I reside in Calgary, just south of Edmonton so maybe I should have the tried the quiz myself, you never know. Anyways congrats to the winner.

Availability of primary care results in better mental health for rural residents
Research Activities, August 2009, No. 348
Each year, one in four Americans suffers from a mental disorder. Although much is known about the link between individual factors and mental illness, there is little information on how people's surroundings affect their mental health. A new study focusing on rural and urban environments has identified some striking contextual associations with mental health status. Researchers analyzed data from the 1998 Ohio Family Health Survey of households in rural and urban counties. They also examined Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores of mental health status and used multiple data sources to obtain relevant contextual data. Overall, the study looked at 6,311 individuals residing in 49 rural counties and 9,950 individuals living in 39 urban counties.
In rural areas, an increase in MCS scores (better mental health) was associated with the availability of primary care providers. Decreased MCS scores were associated with the proportion of individuals living in poverty or being unemployed, the degree of income inequality, and the proportion of female-headed households. None of these factors were associated with MCS scores in urban settings. In urban communities, an increase in MCS score was associated with average educational attainment and the availability of psychiatrists. More hospital-based psychiatric services were associated with a decrease in MCS score. Among socioeconomic variables, only the proportion of unemployed was significantly associated with MCS scores.
The association between better mental health and the number of primary care providers in rural areas may reflect the front-line role these practitioners play in mental health care. Likewise, the association between better mental health status and the number of psychiatrists in urban areas may reflect the preference of these providers to practice in the city, note the researchers. The study was supported in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS00059).
See "Rural-urban comparison of contextual associations with self-reported mental health status," by Lars E. Peterson, Ph.D., Alexander C. Tsai, M.D., Ph.D., Stephen Petterson, Ph.D., and David G. Litaker, M.D. in Health & Place 15, pp. 125-132, 2009.

Crestina Marez has received the Maxine Strom Volunteer of the Year award for her 15 years of service at a Tacoma, Washington food bank, serving the homeless and families in need. The team at My Sister's Pantry honored Marez at its annual dinner. "I was completely caught off-guard by this," said Marez. "I expected this award to be given to somebody else."
What makes the award special for Marez is the fact that she has known 90 year old Maxine Strom, after whom the award is named, for almost 30 years. "My privilege is being able to learn from Maxine," said Marez. The two volunteer side by side serving people hot meals three times a week, making sure they have clothing or baby supplies. "This is an awesome program that's grown tremendously," said Marez. "We serve people from a number of backgrounds, including Russian and Ukrainian immigrants, seniors, and Native Americans in the Tacoma community."
Marez, herself Native American, comes to volunteer work naturally. After working as a Nurse's Aide for 32 years, a freak accident happened in 2002. A transit bus hit Marez in downtown Tacoma, and Marez lost her left leg. She recovered and hasn't let that injury slow her down.
In 2005, Marez completed her Bachelor's degree in Urban Leadership and Sustainability from Evergreen College. One of her mentor's at Evergreen recommended she attend Brandman University for her Master's degree. Instead, she tried a year at University of Washington Tacoma, and found it wasn't what she needed. After attending a college fair, she applied at Brandman, which she says "turned out to be a great fit." Marez earned her Master's in Organizational Leadership at the campus on Joint Base Lewis McChord in February 2012. "I found Brandman professors to be fair and challenging," she said. "The students had to challenge themselves and look at people's experience through a different lens."
Marez is now using her experience and education to help other amputees. She started the Tacoma Amputee Support Group seven years ago. "I wanted to be heard," said Marez. "Amputees need someone who has a voice." Marez partners with military veterans who have lost a limb, and she works with those who are about to become an amputee, or who have recently lost an arm or leg. "I tell them 'here's what I did, and it might help you,'" said Marez. "I encourage them to find support and become a member of a local church in addition to receiving support from their family. I tell them they can do whatever they want to do."
Marez is now building the Tacoma Amputee Support Group, by recruiting an Advisory Board and formalizing her efforts. Part of her dream is to establish a classroom for amputees that allows them access to computers so they can job hunt, take classes or find a way to volunteer themselves. Marez says she was inspired as a child by the words of President John F. Kennedy who told Americans, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." As a leader and noted volunteer, her goal is simple: "I put myself anywhere in the country where I can help."

My son is 3 1/2 yrs. old and the neighbor across the street has a 4 yrs. old boy and they became good friends. They don't go to same school but always play together after school. Our neighbor become a victim of economy slow down and is listing their house for sale and it looks like they get a buyer. We talked to our DS several times that "Joe" is going to move out to his grandpa's place and there will be new people live in that house. My DS won't accept this and keep saying that "Joe" will come back like he always do every weekend. He said that I'm wrong. I feel so sad and I've teary eyes everytime I think that he is going to lose a friend at such young age. This is not the first time he lost friends, he had 2 classmates that moved away after Christmas but that didn't affect him. I just don't know what else I can tell him. When he didn't see "Joe" in his yard, he always asked where is Joe. Gosh, I dread the time for them to say goodbye. I always thought they'll grow up together. Got to stop here, writing this just makes me cry. |

Well, I live a town that is full of Navy personel. And around here, friends leaving is a real reality. I dealt with it growing up and now, my children do the same. My oldest boy (10), has "lost" several friends starting at about 19-20 months. It was harder at around the age of 3-4, but kids are so resilliant. And after a few "weekends" he will get what you've been trying to "prepare" him for. It's really harder on us Mom's, then our kids. As far as the classmates not affecting him. There were a dozen other friends still there. He will be fine. It really is harder on you then him. And it hurts just the same each time. I know. Take care, Terri |
Thanks all. Few days before neighbor moved (last week) he finally didn't say I was wrong. He accepted the fact, but now when he was playing by himself, he liked to talk as if Joe was there. Like imaginary friend. And he still kept asking why they need to move away. |

In "Spirit of Life," a Tapestry of Faith program
Distribute Handout 1. Indicate the unison chalice-lighting words on the handout.
Welcome participants and offer a brief introduction to this workshop. Use these words, or your own:
Welcome to this program on Unitarian Universalist spirituality as expressed in the celebration and rituals we use in our congregational life and in our home lives. Celebrations and rituals are ways to appreciate life, face grief and sorrow, share joy and gratitude, and deepen relationships and core commitments.
In this workshop, we will explore how celebration and ritual can support our spirituality and spiritual growth. I am so glad you are here!
Tell participants that the opening for this workshop includes some additional elements to enrich the group's investigation of celebrations and rituals. If you have added objects to your altar or centering table, explain that you have added these objects to provide an example of how someone might personalize an altar for ritual.
Light the dripless candle from the votive candle flame, and secure the dripless candle in its heatproof holder or prepare the LED battery-operated candle. Say:
Unitarian Universalists believe the flame of truth, the spark of divinity, the light of knowledge, the warmth of love, and the energy of action are present in every person. In celebration of that affirmation, we will pass this candle around the room to each person.
When the candle comes to you, please call out your name clearly and slowly, so we have time to hear each name and see each face. After this candle has been passed among all our hands and connected to all our voices and faces, we will light our chalice and join together in a unison chalice-lighting reading.
Allow participants to pass the candle, each saying their names. After all participants have said their names, invite a participant to light the chalice using the dripless candle or to place the LED battery-operated candle in the chalice and lead the group in reciting the unison chalice-lighting words.
Invite participants to read silently with you as you read aloud the Unitarian Universalist Principle and Source that this workshop highlights.

Name: Veronika Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
The other day I jammed my ring finger in a door. And the few days after it was at a different temperature then the rest of my fingers. I was wondering why. It was noticibly, to me, warmer.
Hi Veronica
What you felt was the inflammation of the finger. You must have damaged the tissue in the finger and while your finger was fixing the damage it became inflamed which helps it deal with the injury.
The reason inflamation makes the finger feel hot is that the blood vessels that supply blood to the damaged area become larger to increase the blood flow to the tissue (and increase the supply of all the helpful, tissue repairing substances and cells). The increased blood flow comes from deep in the body where the blood is actually slightly hotter than it is in the periphery of your body (ie near the skin) so when more of this blood is supplied to the area it actually does become warmer.
Thanks for your question. Hope the information was helpful.

Playing an exaggerated defensive shift against notorious pull-hitting left handed hitters is nothing new. The Rays famously shift more than nearly every other team in baseball, to great success. The Boston Red Sox have a lineup rife with pull-heavy lefties; as a result facing a shifted defenses at a high rate.
Traditionally, the shift consists of the shortstop trotting into short right field to take away an avenue for LHB to rip hits through the hole between first and second base. The Toronto Blue Jays take matters into their own hands, employing different shifts based on the tendencies of specific batters.
The above screencap shows the shift the Blue Jays employed against David Ortiz. Pretty traditional setup with the exception of the third baseman (Brett Lawrie) in short right field. I like this move as it allows the (presumably) rangier player — the shortstop — tasked with covering a larger chunk of real estate. This might not be the case with Escobar and Lawrie but more often than not the SS gets around better than the third sacker.
Below we see the shift as the Jays lined up against Adrian Gonzalez. Here Lawrie is actually closer to second base, with second baseman Kelly Johnson cheating over towards the right-field line. Much less exaggerated than the previous example but, as we can, effective as Lawrie calmly field a weak flare off the prodigious bat of Gonzalez.
Why would the Blue Jays set up their defenses so differently for two similar players? History of batted ball information informed their decision.
Below are the spray charts of all ground balls and popups hit by both Ortiz and Gonzalez since 2010. Notice how, shockingly enough, Adrian Gonzalez shows a greater tendency to hit balls up the middle.
Very interesting to watch the team adapt to the situation and deploy their defense in more and more specific ways. Does it help? Sure looks like it.
These are situational plays that might only make the difference of a few outs a season. The benefits might be two-old if a shifting defense saves a few runs a year AND manages to change the approach of these known sluggers. If you have middle-of-the-order bats like Ortiz and Gonzalez thinking "I'm going to knock this the other way for a cheap single" rather than "I'm going to hit this ball into the stratosphere", you are doing something right, aren't you?
Sort of. For his career, David Ortiz has more home runs with nobody on base in his career and a slightly higher slugging percentage in a very comparable number of plate appearances. The BABIP number is very interesting though hardly surprising.
Innovation comes slowly to baseball. For teams to use the copious information available to them in such an obvious way suggests the "baseball establishment" is at least willing to try. Encouraging at the very least, isn't it?
Update! Here is a twitpic I snapped from the right field bleachers with my phone during a David Ortiz at bat today. Brett Lawrie is a long, long way from home.

Ed Perlmutter, Joe Coors launch attacks during season's biggest Congressional debate
Candidates for Congress fielded questions for hours this morning at a forum in Thorton where six politicians debated the economy and job creation, taxes, energy policy and unsurprisingly, health care -- launching a jam-packed week of political events in Colorado.Big photos below.
The sometimes heated discussion offered a glimpse of the rhetoric and arguments we can expect to hear throughout the week, which includes rallies with Mitt Romney, Ann Romney, Barack Obama -- and the first presidential debate.
The forum -- moderated by Shaun Boyd of CBS4 and co-sponsored by the Metro North Chamber of Commerce and the Denver Regional Council of Government -- featured candidates for the second, fourth and seventh districts of Colorado. Mike Coffman of the sixth district was also in the audience -- but he didn't speak because Joe Miklosi, his Democratic challenger, was absent.
The topics were wide-ranging but often boiled down to philosophical disagreements on the role of government in fixing the economy -- mirroring the debates happening on a national scale between the Obama and Romney camps.Sam Levin The six candidates in attendance.
For incumbent Representative Ed Perlmutter and Joe Coors, his Republican opponent, the answers and speeches quickly turned to direct back-and-forth attacks.
"We need to...eliminate tax breaks that encourage outsourcing of jobs. That is something that I think would enhance our revenue to the nation as well as encourage us to build things in America," Perlmutter said in answering the first question. "My opponent and I have very different feelings about that, because his company has outsourced jobs and I don't think that's right for this country."
Perlmutter was referring to his opponent's record with a ceramics company called CoorsTek, which allegedly outsourced jobs to Asia. The Coors campaign has repeatedly argued that this is a false characterization and that the company -- which sells more U.S.-manufactured goods to other countries than they import -- has never sacrificed local jobs in its business overseas.
Perlmutter's comment set the tone for the debate -- with Coors, in his first official response of the event, refuting the attack.
"It just kind of irritates me when I'm accused of outsourcing," he said. "He's talking about global presence.... CoorsTek has a global presence. We did not outsource any American jobs. I don't know where that comes from.... All the things we do internationally, globally are additive to the base business we have here in Golden, Colorado."
Joining Coors and Perlmutter were Republican Congressman Cory Gardner and his challenger, Brandon Shaffer, who is the president of the Colorado State Senate -- alongside Representative Jared Polis, a Democrat, and his challenger, State Senator Kevin Lundberg.
Lundberg, answering the first question, called for fewer government restrictions. "Who should be in charge? Should it be the government or should it be the businesses?... Far too often...the attitude in Washington is, 'It's up to us to manipulate and to manage and somehow be the driving force.' I believe we need to put things back into proper perspective, which is, businesses are in the business of competing. Government needs to be at the minimum level so as to not get in the way."
The Republicans in the forum repeatedly brought up a call for smaller government and less burdens on small business, while the Democrats reiterated the importance of government support and the dangers of a Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan economic plan for the middle class.
Continue for more from the debate.

Wedding: 8/23/2014
Megan is AMAZING! Not only are her photos beautiful but she practically ran the whole show, from setting up a wedding day time line to reminding us what we should be doing next, and coaxing reluctant groomsmen into posing nicely. My husband and I were very comfortable with her from the very start with our engagement session and I trusted her absolutely on our big day.
Wedding: 7/14/2012
I hired Megan for my July wedding at McMenamin's Grand Lodge. She was amazing! We met twice before the wedding, once at a consult and once for our engagement photos, at which time we went over the wedding day schedule. She was professional, warm and friendly, and an excellent communicator. On the day of the wedding she worked tirelessly to get every shot, and even went above and beyond the call of duty to help bustle my dress, get me a glass of champagne, and keep us track with our order of events. The photos turned out great, and we got tons of shots of everyone! I will be recommending her to any bride I talk with.
Wedding: 4/27/2013
I had an incredibly low cost wedding, I think I spent like $3500 max on everything. I found Megan on craigslist and heavens to betsy what a steal! She did an amazing job on the photos was actually at the wedding venue before I was which I found to be a sigh of relief because, some people have problems finding my brothers old place. The photos came out awesome, she was there all day long and was a pleasure to work with everyone loved her. Keep up the good work Megan!
Wedding: 9/10/2011
Megan is an amazing photographer! My husband and I planned a destination wedding and contacted Megan for engagement photos at home. Our photos turned out so great I asked her about traveling with us to our destination wedding. She gave us a great quote and off we went. Megan was by my side the whole day and captured every special moment. If you are looking for a wedding photographer in the Portland/Vancouver area, OR for a fantastic photographer to travel with you to your destination wedding give Megan a call. You will be glad you did!
Wedding: 12/2/2010
Megan is AMAZING!!!! She cannot be compared to any other photographer (especially for the price!). Megan did our engagement and wedding photos. After a family member saw our engagement pictures, he immediately emailed me for Megan's contact info so that he could book a family Christmas portrait.
Megan is great with all ages and group sizes (she was amazing with my husband's HUGE family [about 40 or 50 people in some of the family shots], too). We are planning to do a "trash the dress" session with her this spring/summer. After working with Megan, you will never want to work with anyone else....ever. :D
Wedding: 4/1/2010
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Megan!!! We had our engagement and wedding photos done by her. Cannot express how blessed we were to find her! Our pictures came out gorgeous!!! She is just an amazing person and a truly gifted photographer! You can bet that Megan will be doing ALL of our future family photography sessions! I refuse to use another photographer!!! :)
Wedding: 8/28/2010
What a fantastic photographer! Does great work at such a budget friendly price! Did both engagement session and wedding photography and we were so happy with how they both turned out. Would recommend to anyone. She has such a great personality to fit in and not make you uncomfortable. And she has such a creative eye. Will use her again for anniversary pictures next year!

As the number of bikes and cars on our roads increase, we must ensure that we behave responsibly every time we head out on the road. Everyone has an equal right to use the road. To ensure safety and mutual respect, responsible cycling and driving is essential.
Advice for Cyclists
- Cyclists must stop at red lights – you will gain the respect of motorists and it's the law
- Keep to the left of the road to allow clear passage for passing traffic
- Only ride two bikes wide
- Try and ride at off-peak traffic times
- Wear a helmet, brightly coloured clothing and have lights on your bike
- Be predictable and always indicate your intentions
- We all make mistakes. Be prepared to acknowledge your own mistakes so as not to repeat them. Be courteous and anticipate others' mistakes
- Always look to improve your own driving and cycling by getting more information
Advice for Motorists
- Be patient and cautious when driving near cyclists
- Allow a 1m clearance when passing cyclists
- Check your mirrors before opening the car door
- Indicate your intentions in traffic
You May be Interested to Know
- Cyclists can travel up to 35-45km per hour so judging gaps can be difficult
- Under current law, cyclists are allowed to ride two abreast and take the whole lane, if necessary, to ensure they are visible
- Most adult cyclists also own a car but enjoy bike riding to stay fit, save money, time and the environment
Remember, in an increasingly obese and polluted world where the roads are congested, cycling tackles all three issues.
