On the other hand, Matt LaPorta is opening up a pizza place, so I think the Brewers are ok with it.
Used to be, in terms of performance, [Michael] Brantley was consistently, exactly average. Now, take a trip through the Wins Above Replacement leaderboard. You see Mike Trout at the top, naturally. Then there's Alex Gordon, and Josh Donaldson, a previous breakthrough. Hanging out with the likes of Giancarlo Stanton is Brantley, who this year has become a fringe MVP candidate…
Brantley is pulling the ball more, especially against fastballs… By and large, against non-fastballs, Brantley hasn't been that different. He's been better, but only slightly… he's looking for a fastball to drive, and he's willing to swing at the fastball hard… Brantley's seeing fewer fastballs than ever, and he's seeing fewer strikes than ever, because now he's more often punishing fastballs and punishing strikes. This is what happens when players adjust in the major leagues—the major leagues adjust back, in response. Brantley's been excellent in the second half, so he's still coming out ahead…
Brantley has gotten more and more aggressive within the strike zone, but he hasn't lost any of his discipline. He's not swinging at more pitches out of the zone than he did in 2010. He's making the same amount of contact… There's nothing dramatic here. There's no swing overhaul. There's no adjusted stance. Brantley always had the skills. Now he's just figured out how to put them all together in the right way.

1. Boxkutter posted on August 16, 2014 at 02:37 AM #I think that the value of exceptional defensive corner outfielders (Heyward, Brett Gardner, prime Carl Crawford, etc.) is being overstated by WAR, presumably because they're being compared to a bunch of defensive mooks.
Going from LF to CF, your batting runs don't change, your dWAR theoretically shouldn't changeWhy not? You are now being compared to a different set of guys, where defensive value is more important than the position you are coming from, so the average should be higher? Again, some players might be better suited for the move and may not get hurt with the move,(a high speed, bad jump fielder might benefit from that move to the point that his rField wouldn't take a hit therefore increasing his dWar.)while most others will be hurt simply because the average defensive expectation in center is higher than the average defensive expectation in the corners.
War is a value stat, if you are saving more runs on defense than the average player at that position, because the average is being brought down by a group of "defensive mooks" it doesn't change the value you bring to the table.
But there's another level here. If a few stupid teams are running Adam Dunn or other lumbering oafs out there, it does not, in any real way, make your athletic LF more valuable than he would be otherwise.
It's no different than if he was beating up on weak pitching; the runs still count.Hey, I have no problem taking that into account. We should probably do it a lot more than we do. If A and B have the same hitting stats, but A faces pitchers who allow an OPS .050 lower than the pitchers B faces, then presumably A is the better hitter.
CFB I assume you mean 'median'?
Hey, I have no problem taking that into account. We should probably do it a lot more than we do. If A and B have the same hitting stats, but A faces pitchers who allow an OPS .050 lower than the pitchers B faces, then presumably A is the better hitter.
fanboy may be right here, in that dWAR, though it allows for comparisons across positions, is not truly "fungible." Someone who holds their own in LF would be a bad CF with the exact same dWAR, which makes perfect sense. But fanboy's point is that he'd be an even worse CF, with an even lower dWAR, given the demands of CF.

Raro Video continues remastering rare and obscure Italian titles with the long unavailable 1970 curio from Duccio Tessari, Death Occurred Last Night. A rare hybrid of police thriller and giallo, this fascinating title is a definite highlight in the little known Tessari's varied filmography. Most noted for his work in spaghetti westerns, those unfamiliar with his work will surely be interested in seeking out other available titles. As seedy and ridiculous as it is intriguing and unfailingly amusing, its attention to character and narrative development sets it apart from similar titles of the time period, preceding comparable American fare such as Paul Schrader's 1979 Hardcore.
A self-controlled yet increasingly desperate father (Raf Vallone) informs Detective Duca Lamberti (Frank Wolff) at the police station in Milan that his girl is missing. As he answers a round of questions, we discover his girl is actually a mentally handicapped twenty five year old »

Seattle on verge of 'historic' action on minimum wage
Seattle moved one step closer to a significant minimum wage increase on Thursday, as a City Council committee approved legislation that would begin phasing in a $15 per hour pay floor early next year.
The committee left legislation proposed by Mayor Ed Murray largely intact, though it did amend the start date for beginning the pay hike from Jan. 1, 2015 to April 1, 2015 and added a provision that would allow a slightly lower minimum wage for teenagers and workers in apprenticeship programs. Despite disagreements over individual amendments, the council members present at the meeting voted unanimously to approve the overall legislation.
A full council vote on the wage ordinance is scheduled for next Monday.
Socialist Councilmember Kshama Sawant, a champion of the wage increase, had qualms about some of the specifics in the ordinance, but she touted its noteworthiness during remarks after the meeting, which she delivered on the steps of City Hall.
"Today is a historic day for low wage workers, for the labor movement and for anyone who believes, as I do, that no one who works should have to live in poverty," she said.
Sawant expressed misgivings about the council's 4-3 vote to push back the start of the phase-in period to April 1. Councilmembers Sally Clark, Sally Bagshaw, Jean Godden and Tim Burgess voted for the amendment. Sawant opposed it, along with Bruce Harrell and Mike O'Brien. Councilmembers Nick Licata and Tom Rasmussen were traveling and did not attend Thursday's meeting.
The legislation grew out of recommendations from an advisory committee of 24 business, labor and nonprofit representatives, which the mayor convened last December before taking office. A majority of the committee brokered a last-minute agreement, after battling through a variety of contentious issues that included the length of the phase-in period, wages for training, whether tips should be counted toward compensation and how the new pay scale would apply to small businesses. It was considered a fragile deal. Murray urged the council to pass the legislation he had proposed without excessive tinkering, so that it did not lose the support of key business and labor backers.
Clark, who chairs the Council's Committee on Minimum Wage and Income Inequality, said that she believed the legislation passed on Thursday was "close to what the mayor's committee put forward."
"I think we very thoughtfully and expeditiously moved through the amendments," she said.
Howard Wright, CEO of the Seattle Hospitality Group, who co-chaired the mayor's advisory committee, seemed to agree.
"I'm pleased that the mayor's recommendations did not come unraveled," he said.
As it stands, the ordinance would require businesses with more than 500 employees to pay their workers $11 per hour in April of next year. The wage would ramp up to $15 by 2017. For larger businesses that provide their employees with health care, the phase-in period would last one year longer. By 2018 they, too, would be required to pay workers $15 per hour.
Under Mayor Murray's proposed plan, wages would rise at different rates for larger and smaller businesses. The "minimum compensation" figures in Schedule C show the amount that employers with fewer than 500 employees must pay their workers including tips and health care benefits. To be counted toward total compensation, tips and health care benefits need to appear on an employee's paycheck. Source: Seattle Mayor's Office
For smaller businesses, the minimum wage would reach $15 in 2021. Smaller businesses would also be required to guarantee workers "minimum compensation," which includes tips and health insurance. Minimum compensation, including tips and healthcare, would rise to $15 per hour in 2019.
After each wage category hits $15 per hour, it would increase at the same rate as the consumer price index. Based on a consumer price index of 2.4 percent, minimum wage and total compensation for workers at all of the city's businesses reach $18.13 by 2025.

It's going to be interesting to see how this all pans out and a great study into unintended consequences.

"Smaller businesses would also be required to guarantee workers "minimum compensation," which includes tips and health insurance. Minimum compensation, including tips and healthcare, would rise to $15 per hour in 2019."
Noticed that this piece was absent from the graphic showing the progress of wages. As far as I know, state law forbids tip credit, and does so correctly. I don't know that a city can legislate around that, and I certainly hope our state representatives will act decisively and expeditiously (I know, I know, what a dream!) to eliminate this part of the plan if it somehow gets approved. Tips vary dramatically from place to place, hour to hour, day to day, and season to season. There is no reasonable way to plan for that so that workers have information that allows them to plan their finances responsibly. Owners of businesses where workers are tipped are already being subsidized by their ability to pay their workers less; workers make the gamble that each shift they will get generous guests who show their appreciation for the services they receive. Sometimes that works out, sometimes it doesn't. Foreign guests often don't tip as that is not part of their culture, or their culture adds a service charge to the bill. That doesn't happen here as far as I know. So owners will not only make the profits of their businesses, they will get part of their employees' earnings as well. If tip credit is the difference between survival and failure, let them fail and do something at which they can succeed. Maybe they could be become baristas, food and beverage servers, and bussers and start doing the work themselves.

Leadership and Systems Needed to Effect Financial Management Improvements

In fiscal years 1996 to 2000, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was one of the few agencies that received an unqualified opinion on its financial statements and was in substantial compliance with the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA). This suggested that NASA could generate reliable information for annual external financial reporting and could provide accurate, reliable information for day-to-day decision-making. In contrast with the unqualified or "clean" audit opinions of its previous auditor, Arthur Andersen, NASA's new independent auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, disclaimed an opinion on the agency's fiscal year 2001 financial statements because of significant internal control weaknesses. PricewaterhouseCoopers also concluded that NASA's financial management systems do not substantially comply with the requirements of FFMIA. Modernizing NASA's financial management system is essential to providing accurate, useful information for external financial reporting as well as internal management decision-making. NASA is working on an integrated financial management system that it expects to have fully operational in fiscal year 2006 at an estimated cost of $475 million. This is NASA's third attempt to implement a new financial management system. The first two efforts were abandoned after 12 years and $180 million. Given the high stakes involved, NASA's top management must provide the necessary direction, oversight, and sustained attention to ensure the project's success.

RENO, Nev. - A Nevada man who claims an illegal ticket policy kept him from attending San Francisco's NFL playoff game at Seattle in January is suing the league and others for $50 million for alleged "economic discrimination."
John E. Williams III of Las Vegas says in a federal lawsuit against the NFL, the Seahawks, Ticketmaster and others that he was denied a chance to buy tickets to the NFC Championship Game under a sales policy that made them available only in selected markets.
Williams contends the policy was intended to ensure fans of the Seahawks would have an advantage over fans of their rival 49ers in the purchase of tickets for the Jan. 16 matchup at their stadium known for its boisterous, home-field advantage.
The NFL has declined comment on the suit

My mother in law regrets having her stair runner edges bound because her vacuum catches on it. She is advising me to have our wool runner edges tucked under. Opinions please! |

I think it depends upon the construction and thickness of pile of the carpet. |

I have a bound runner on my stairs. I use the hose attachment on my Dyson with a brush; nothing to catch on the edges. |
Mine is bound. No regrets, and no catches, and it's been over 10 years. I'd be more concerned with wear from having the carpet tucked under. I just went and looked, and the pile is thick enough that it stands higher, well up compared to the bound edge. I can't see how anything could catch on it. I do use the big vacuum with beater bar on it, too. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 15:08
I'd bind that. I think if you turned that under you'd see the backing showing through, it's a pretty flat carpet. |
What did you decide? Are you happy with that choice. Need to make that same decision myself. Thank you! |

I have purchased a mature specimen of a Philo. Melaochrysum but since i have had it, it doesnt seem to be happy and has stopped growing. I have put it in a warm heated greenhouse with numerous other tender aroids such as Anthuriums, Alocasias and about a dozen other different Philodendrons and everything else is growing great with big leaves and rapid lush growth so much that the greenhouse is almost completely over-grown with tropical aroids every since i got the heat/light/humidity right except for this Melanochrysum that just sits on the bench doing nothing. Is it a particularly difficult Philo to grow or what, any tips please.

It needs a totem, they like to climb |
- Posted by chris_e_uk (My Page) on Fri, Oct 10, 08 at 5:38
It is on a totem, it was on a totem when i bought it and i have left on the same one, literally took it out of the box and just let it carry on. It immediately put out a brand new big leaf but hasnt put another one out since in the 6 months i've had it, miserable grumpy plant that is beginning to wind me up!! |
Have you fertilized it? |
- Posted by chris_e_uk (My Page) on Fri, Oct 10, 08 at 10:37
Yes, I forgot to mention that the plant keeps trying to send up new shoots from the base of the stem instead of growing from the top of the plant where the next big leaf should come from, as it produces these new shoots at the base I remove them to encourage the main plant to grow but nothing from the top, just more shoots from the bottom. |
Let the base shoots grow , maybe more foliage will help the top take off . THis is not an easy species to grow , I have finally got a top to grab onto a tree on my garden . Now to just get a P.gigas to start climbing . |
Why on earth would you take off shoots? Leave them ON, man! Don't ever remove new growth from a plant that's obviously struggling. That's like taking food out of the mouth of a baby |
- Posted by chris_e_uk (My Page) on Sun, Oct 12, 08 at 3:19
You dont think removing the new shoots will encourage the main stem to continue growing? |
If your main stem ISN'T growing, you might see if one of the new shoots would be more vigorous. That seems to be where the plant WANTS to put its energy, why thwart it? Maybe you meddle too much, LOL |
- Posted by chris_e_uk (My Page) on Mon, Oct 13, 08 at 14:48
I think you might be right bihai, I think i DO meddle too much, and worry too much about the darn plant. hoe-hum!!! |
I used to do that too. Then I got smart and let Chaos Theory take over. The plants all do a lot better now, LOL. I tried in vain to train a small Philodendron "Strawberry Shortcake" up a totem. It just wouldn't do it. Finally, I just gave up. I left the totem in place, and forgot about it. Then one thing or another happened, and for some reason the philo got covered up from casual site and I forgot about it. Months later, I noticed an "unknown" philo climbing up the wall.

Hey, has anybody ever heard of Philodendron "miniature selloum"? Photo in Graff's Exotica. Am I the only person that has one? Looks like a regular selloum with every leaf curled under 'like a dead spider'. But it is by NO means....... a miniature plant. email@example.com |

This is a beautiful item, clearly handmade from unique Guatemalan textiles. We were happily surprised at the functionality of the quilt, though--it is very heavy and soft, quite warm at night. The price was extremely reasonable for a bedspread of this quality. We also got very good service from Overstock--they sent the wrong color first, but we got through to someone on the Chat line and they replaced it with the right one in a matter of days and sent us a free shipping label to return the wrong one. All in all, a very satisfactory shopping experience!
This quilt is so beautiful and adds a lot of character and energy to the room. We love it, but it is very heavy so my husband does not like it as much as I do, though we both appreciate its beauty. The colors do fade over time after several washings, and we get a lot of sunlight in our room as we are in sunny Utah, and those have caused the color to fade over the past 3 years, but it is still gorgeous. A lot of fun to own!
This quilt exceeded my expectations. There is a perfectly balanced array of colors and patterns that create a stunning piece. The quality is excellent. I would highly recommend this to anyone searching for the colors that these quilts are offered in. Interior designers take note!
This is not so much a quilt as it is a heavy, lined bedspread. Considering its substantial weight, it provides surprisingly little warmth, probably because it has no loft or batting, and the lining is dense enough to prevent much air entrapment. That said, it is a beautiful piece of workmanship, very well crafted using gorgeous fabrics. I would recommend it more for warm-weather use, as I am about to fold mine up and replace it with a comforter until spring.
I bought this for my daughter. The colors are vibrant and the quality good. The fabic is soft. Had a slight smell on opeining that dissapated quickly. She absolutely loved it. I would be purchase again.
I had read all the other reviews, so I knew that this was not going to be a "fat" quilt. We bought it not knowing if we would use it as a bedspread or a wall hanging. We decided to hang it on the wall because it is so lovely. Ours did not come with hanging tabs as some reviews mentioned. Excellent quality and fast shipping.
As others have pointed out, this is not a quilt but a coverlet of sorts. It is not tied or stitched down. The rough-weave fabrics composing the quilt started coming apart upon use of the quilt. It is really not meant to be washed or used much. A coverlet in a guest bedroom, a wall hanging, or a folded accent would be best. The quilt (I bought the red one) has a strong vinegar scent (which I rather liked); any washing or exposure to sun will start to strip color.
This is not a bedspread, but a nice cover for a solid-color bedspread. It is beautifully made -- and bright, make no mistake. I picked the yellow-based one that sits atop a plain green bedspread, and I couldn't be happier. Like someone said in an earlier post, I hope the craftspeople who make these are fairly paid (and I assume they are), for their work is of high quality!
Beautiful quilt - very well made and very different looking. Its thin but very heavy. I am in love with it as I can never get too warm. Great craftsmanship!
Loved the quality but color did not work for me at all.

Sheree Whitfield Leaving 'Real Housewives of Atlanta', Bravo Confirms
Who gon' check her, boo? Apparently, not Bravo.
Reality TV diva Sheree Whitfield confirmed to Wetpaint on Wednesday that she is leaving the Bravo series The Real Housewives of Atlanta after four seasons of ruined fashion viewings, independence parties and singles inspired by infamous catchphrases.
"After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave. The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I'm tired of the fighting and the cattiness," Sheree said.
"I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck. I'm thrilled to say I'm now a free agent and am already fielding offers," she added.
A rep for Bravo confirmed Sheree's exit on Wednesday, telling Celebuzz:
"We have enjoyed working with Sheree as part of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. We wish her all the best in the future."Sheree, who is the ex-wife of NFL player Bob Whitfield, has been with Atlanta since the beginning. She was perhaps best known for her fashion line, She By Sheree, as well as a now-famous altercation with party planner Anthony Shorter, in which she uttered her catch phrase, "Who gon' check me, boo?" Watch it below:
This isn't the first time a housewife has left Atlanta. Past exits include DeShawn Snow, who was booted after season 1, and Lisa Wu-Hartwell, who was shown the door after season 2.
Sound off: Will you miss Sheree on Atlanta?

Borussia Dortmund and Germany midfielder Ilkay Gundogan will likely not return to football action until after the winter break from a long-term back injury.
Gundogan has been sidelined since mid-August with a nerve irritation that is yet to disappear, and he said on Tuesday he will not rush back to action.
"It is difficult to name a date, I have no goal. It is important that I will be 100 per cent fit. Before that I won't return," he said.
"It is important for me that it is completely cured ... I am satisfied with the development. A nerve irritation is always a long-term affair," Gundogan said, vowing to "return stronger."
Dortmund rank second in the league, four points behind treble winners Bayern Munich, who they host Saturday in a Bundesliga topper.
The Bundesliga winter break starts before Christmas and runs until late January.
Keywords: Borussia Dortmund, Ilkay Gundogan, Gundogan injury

Swami Ma Tripurashakti – Swami Jnaneshvara – Swami Rama – Abhyasa Ashram – Our Tradition
Dear formless non-dual Divine Mother,
How do you describe the formless? How to communicate that which cannot be seen, cannot be felt, touched or heard in a world that operates through the senses? How to find the formless while living in the world of forms? How can I explain the deep longing that I hold in my heart to seek this formless truth and to find union?
abhinivesha – ahamkara – antahkarana – asmita – avidya – bhava – bhutas – buddhi – chitta – dvesha – ekagra – elements – gunas – kleshas – kshipta – manas – maya – mudha – nidra – nirodhah – pramana – raga – rajas – sattva – smriti – tamas – vikalpa – vikshipta – viparyaya
forwardbend – backwardbend – side-stretch – twisting – hip-opener – elongating – inverting – savasana-relaxation – asana for meditation
Sometimes it is said that Adi Shankaracharya could not have written the Saundarya Lahari text because he was a jnani; who do only contemplation on the formless Brahman—thus discarding all duality, as this is pure illusion (maya), it doesn't exist. How then could he have written such a devotion text in which he out pours his awe for Maha Tripurasundari, as if he is different from Her so that he can adore Her in all her Splendor; which is called bhakti Yoga. If he truly was a jnani he would not see Her as something to be in awe of or to have deep devotion for, as all is merely an illusion—thus She doesn't exist.
In my practice I do both deep contemplation on Brahman, thus discarding all duality as unreal by cultivating a constant awareness that everything is merely an illusion and at the same time I cultivate constantly being in awe of the play of Shakti, devoting my whole being to know Tripurasundari.

This site is an offering to those who deeply long to experience Pure Consciousness that is known as Divine Mother or Tripura ('Tri' means three, and 'pura' means city); She is the one that lives in the three cities of Waking, Dreaming and Deep Sleep. Temporary leaving behind the three cities and residing only in Pure Consciousness is called Self-realization. Another name for this realization is Yoga; the union of the individual self with the universal Self; the union of Atman with Brahman, or Shiva with Shakti; or the dis-union of Purusha and Prakriti. Some might think of Tripura as an anthropomorphic being but She is not, She is the Non-dual Reality in which all appearing manifestation seems to exist. All that is, is the Non-dual Reality.
On this site the teachings of Yoga, Vedanta, and Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra are offered to guide you in learning to meditate directly on Tripura by using modern ways of communication such as through animations, while preserving the ancient wisdom. These teaching have been given to us by an ancient lineage of meditation masters, lovingly called the Tradition of the Himalayan masters. These practices lead us to a space of stillness and silence where Yoga meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer converge into deep devotion and constant awareness of Tripura. At the end of the journey when all efforts are exhausted, grace will dawn. This is known as shaktipata, through which the final barrier is removed, which is the piercing of the bindu, and leads to the direct experience of Non-dual Reality. This finally reveals an unimaginable Joy from knowing the Non-dual Reality or Pure Consciousness!

In Toronto, I helped hundreds of students through high school & university as a private tutor, teacher, academic advisor, school administrator and guidance counsellor. I owned my own math tutoring centre and was also an active volunteer in the Ontario homeschooling community: writing, advising, and speaking at conferences.
From our island waterfront "semi-retirement" home in Atlantic Canada, I create middle & high school math teaching/learning resources, provide guidance for Canadian homeschooling families, and serve on the Advisory Board for Compass centre for self-directed learning in Ottawa (a high school alternative).
I happily sing the least-coveted (and least-conspicuous!) Alto2 lines in as many local PEI choirs as will have me. I'm also the Resident Tech Wizard for the Summerside Community Choir, spearheading our charge into this century with my love of technology. When not rehearsing, I can be found digitizing music, webmastering, tweeting and generally troubleshooting.
Though our personal blog is neglected, I regularly chronicle life & travel via Twitter and annotated PicasaWeb photo albums. Ever in search of the perfect digital photo-management system, I spend more time than any one human should testing, tweaking and breaking several services.
Other personal interests include cappuccino, watching Toronto Blue Jays baseball on PVR delay so we can skip commercials (no spoilers!), our low-carb/high-fat/grain-free ketogenic diet, stylus-based gadgets, Samsung technology, natural disaster movies where the rogue atmospheric physicist saves the day, and bunnies.
My home is currently Summerside, PEI, Canada (though I will always be "from Toronto"). My actual physical location could be anywhere in the world as a constant travel companion to my loving husband Joe, with whom the epic "Oshawa vs. Brampton" battle is ongoing.

Wyoming environment officials issued the first permit exempting several deep groundwater aquifers on the ranch from environmental protection in 1988. It said the water was of relatively poor quality, and was too deep and too remote to be used for drinking. The permit did not address the possibility that usable aquifers could lie in even deeper rock layers beneath the site.
The EPA confirmed the state's exemptions and issued separate ones allowing the mine operator to contaminate the shallow layer of groundwater closest to the surface, where anyone who needed water – including John Christensen – was likely to go for it first.
Even as they gave their stamp of approval, EPA officials noted that the mine operator's application had not set precise boundaries for the depth or breadth of the exempted area. "The information contained in the submittal does not specifically delineate the area to be designated," the EPA's Denver chief administrator acknowledged in a letter to Wyoming regulators in August 1988.
Still, Christensen, who continued to run stock on his land, saw the pollution as an inconvenience, not a threat. He was assured that the mine operator could steer contaminants toward the center of the exemption zone by manipulating pressure underground. Monitoring wells surrounded the perimeter of the mining site like sentries, checking if pollutants were seeping past the border.
Drilling new water wells beyond the mine's boundary was expensive, but Christensen took comfort from rules obliging the mine operator to restore contaminated water within the exempted area to its original condition once mining was complete.
"That was our best quality water," Christensen said. "I've been given to believe that it is not sacrificed, that they will restore the groundwater quality."

White/blue smoking usually indicates the burning of oil. Causes to this condition include:
Overfilling the crankcase with oil
Incorrect oil grade
Operating engine at greater than a 15 degree angle
Inoperative crankcase breather
Crankcase air leak
Blown head gasket
Worn cylinder and/or rings
Turning/Tilting the engine on its side for any reason (storage, changing oil, etc). If the engine has to be tilted, ensure the spark plug is facing upwards to help prevent oil from escaping the crankcase.
Also, be aware that any small air leak can cause an excess of air entering the crankcase and will create a higher oil mist than the breather is capable of handling. The excess oil will then return through the breather tube and back to the air filter.
Engine oil capacity is dependant on your specific engine model. To determine your engine's oil capacity, please download our Oil Capacity PDF. Oil level checking and changing intervals are available on our Tune-up Schedule page.
The "Oil" section of your also contains this information.
Other possible causes include operating or tilting the unit at an angle, an obstruction in the breather tube (located behind the air filter), damage to the cylinder/piston rings, etc.
If you wish to troubleshoot the engine yourself, a good source for engine specifications and technical servicing information would be a Briggs & Stratton Repair Manual (Lookup Manual by Engine Model PDF). The correct Repair Manual for your model engine is often listed in your engine's .

We go through A LOT of bananas in this house. Anywhere between 3-5 bananas is our daily average. And I never worry about buying too many bananas because once they turn brown I either pop them in the freezer and use them for smoothies, protein shakes, and banana ice cream OR bake them into some bread. |

Weighed in at 142lbs, good eating size, will be grilling the tenderloin for supper tonight. Got to love Bambi-slamming, and I still have my doe tag!!!

personal pleasure jet
Bubble Love is a personal pleasure jet able to deliver millions of tiny pulsating bubbles to the "right spot" to stimulate, titillate, and push her over the top...repeatedly. This is more than just another bubble bath. Much more.
Every woman who has used Bubble Love achieved orgasms and did it faster than with the typical vibrator.
Bubble Love is the first submersible, hand held bubble jet, ergonomically engineered product that is incredibly intuitive to use and allows women to control the intensity of the massage they want to receive.
The Bubble Love can work in water depths from 6" to 28" inches. (Required deepwater float included.)

The Bubble Love is easy to use and can be left in plain sight. This is the kind of sex toy you will be happy to keep...and recommend. The optional Dilly™ attachment is for those who like dual stimulation.
Bubble Love uses a submersed portable hydro jet with water and air delivery for non-mechanical massage. A hose-driven, handheld, water-only spray simply can't compete with Bubble Love's water and air combination.
The mechanical vibration generated by traditional vibrators effect stimulation by direct skin contact. Repetitive sessions should never be uncomfortable with Bubble Love as they can be with traditional mechanical stimulation, For extra stimulation in a deep tub, simply squeeze the silicone air tube to create a pulsing sensation like nothing else you've felt before!
The Bubble Love unit is fully adjustable with a handle-mounted air control dial. Included is a suction-cup joystick for tub floor mounting and the lithium-ion rechargeable battery provides power for the unit. The Bubble Love comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty.
In combination with Bubble Love, the optional Dilly attachment doubles the love!
The Dilly™ fits snugly into the socket directly below the bubble jet on the Bubble Love, creating dual satisfaction with both internal and external pleasure. The Dilly™ is the perfect partner for Bubble Love and is custom crafted to only fit the Bubble Love unit.
All I can say is WOW! I like that it doesn't look like a sex toy and I can easily hide it in plain sight. It's easy to use and I like using it with the Dilly™ attachment. Keep it up! BUBBLE LOVE will sell a zillion! – Diedre L.
I have never experienced a toy quite like BUBBLE LOVE. It's gentle and strong at the same time and lets me go for it and orgasm effortlessly. I look forward to baths even more now! – Kylie W.
I had been in a long term relationship with my shower head, that is until I was introduced to BUBBLE LOVE. I use it almost every day and it never fails to get me to climax in under 3 minutes. – Jenny T.
Bubble Love provides a fun and easy adventure in the bathtub for any woman who cherishes her "Me" time in the tub. Use Bubble Love to relax, to stimulate, to enjoy by herself or with a partner.
Bubble Love's hydro-jet water/air delivery offers women the ability to have multiple orgasms with a product unlike anything currently on the market today.

Category:Chodov (Prague)
From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
English: Chodov is a district in Prague, located southeast of city centre. With housing estates like Opatov, Litochleby or Roztyly it constitutes major part of so called Jižní Město or Praha 11. Chodov borders Michle in the west, Záběhlice (including Spořilov and Zahradní Město) in the north, Hostivař in the northeast and Háje in the east (Brechtova, Květnového vítězství, Prašná, U Modré školy, and Novomeského streets being the dividing line). Újezd is the next neighbouring district in the southeast (Kateřinky housing estate already belongs to Újezd), Šeberov and Kunratice borders Chodov in the south. Thus images of Jižní Město except Háje belong here.

Almirante: Management prerogative
-A A +ASaturday, December 22, 2012
Dominador Almirante
Labor case digest
ON JAN. 1, 1996, respondent ABS-CBN Head Office in Manila issued Policy No. HR-ER-016 requiring that an employee who intends to run for any public office must file a letter of resignation.
On March 25, 1998, Dante Luzon, who was then the Cebu assistant station manager, issued a memorandum informing the petitioner, Ernesto G. Ymbong, that per company policy, any employee/talent who wants to run for any position in the then coming election will have to file a leave of absence.
Petitioner Ymbong claims that pursuant to the March 25, 1998 memorandum, he informed Luzon that he would take a leave of absence from March 8, 1998 to May 18, 1998 since he was running for councilor of Lapu-Lapu City.
When he lost in his bid, he tried to come back to respondent ABS-CBN but was turned down because of company policy. Thus, he filed a complaint for illegal dismissal contending that the ground relied upon by respondents is not among the just and authorized causes provided in the Labor Code. Does this contention find merit?
Ruling: No.
The Supreme Court has consistently held that so long as a company's management prerogatives are exercised in good faith for the advancement of the employer's interest and not for the purpose of defeating or circumventing the rights of the employees under special laws or under valid agreements, the Court will uphold them.
In the instant case, ABS-CBN validly justified the implementation of Policy No. HR-ER-016. It is well within its rights to ensure that it maintains its objectivity and credibility and frees itself from any appearance of impartiality so that the confidence of the viewing and listening public in it will not be in any way eroded.
Even as the law is solicitous of the welfare of the employees, it must also protect the right of an employer to exercise what are clearly management prerogatives. The free will of management to conduct its own business affairs to achieve its purpose cannot be denied.
It is worth noting that such exercise of management prerogative has earned a stamp of approval from no less than our Congress itself when on Feb. 12, 2001, it enacted Republic Act No. 9006, otherwise known as the "Fair Election Act." (Ernesto G. Ymbong vs. ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp., et. al., G.R. No. 184885, March 7, 2012).

Shareing room should write more clearly. The persons in the one room may be female or male. When I knew there were the male in the room I booked,I felt it is so horrible!!
i really hope they can keep kitchen open at night
In the downtown, right beside Union Square. Convenient transportation. Nice staff. They provide service for shuttle to airport. Good wifi.
Not as clean as i thought. Have to buy a lock in other shop.
The dirty floors, broken curtains in front of patio door leading to smokers area from bedroom, complete with vent to allow second hand smoke into room. Lack of any noise proofing of walls.
wifi was very slow, beds do not seem very stable. Staff not helpful at all. Only responded "you'll have to google it" when I asked how to get to the airport at 3am
Relatively cheap and secure. Pretty good crowd.
Pretty dodgy area. Staff unhelpful and frankly rude. Lots of plumbing issues as the toilet was always backed up. Free wifi was slow and unresponsive and it was really really dirty.
no parking lot poor breakfast (just pancakes) old furniture no elevator
Very friendly and helpful staff. Good services, e.g. excellent wifi, plenty of sockets, tv room, kitchen etc.
it could do with a refurb, e.g. there was a whole in the ceiling and there were some gaffa-taped patches on the carpet but these has little effect on me apart from aesthetically.
The location is good
It was a little dirty and cold at night
Location was great! Close to union square.
The dorm was terribly smelly and dirty. I felt itchy while sleeping. That could be bugs or something. And the private room was quite small too. Had to made your own breakfast and cleaned the stuff. And the kitchen was toooooo small to fill in so many ppl. Like I said in the title, well ... at least a kind of experience.
Pancake batter available to fry yourself - great idea Lots of common areas Board games! Walking distance (+/-15min) from main attractions Grocery, liquor, and food nearby (<5min) Luggage storage area Free linens and towel
Pancake breakfast ends a lot earlier than specified (batter usually runs out)
Didn't have to share the bathroom. We had a private room. Loved that. And we had a fridge and microwave. Made having snacks easy. There was a city black out our last morning. That made it hard to pack as the room is kinda dark and only has one window. Other than that our experience was great and we will be back!!! Thank you
More lighting. It's kinda dark. And it was extremely crowded on the doorstep. Made it a little difficult to bring our baggage in and out.
- Wifi sing is good.
- The room is not so clean; - The breakfast is just a doll to make pancakes, there is no other option;
Dirty, bad neighborhood & smelled like weed the entire time
Bed is good, kitchen is good too. Location is very good, few blocks you have everything.
- location - nice staff
- kitchen could be cleaner - rooms were not in the best condition
Location Kindness of the staff
Room's atmosphere : old fashion and not very clean
Building in need of repair. The stair treads had tape (which was peeling off). The shower wasn't; it was a running faucet with nothing to allow the water to come from above. The pancake batter was watery and tasteless
Well, first of all the location is really good, and the wifi is good enough to feel comfortable. Also I like the idea of "private" bathrooms in dorms.
Beds are just awful: old and not only uncomfortable, but simply dangerous. Also looks like no one noticed my request regarding bed stairs problem: I'm lame and have certain troubles with stairs. So if you're brave enough to sleep on unsafe bed with drooping mattress and have no disabilities, it's ok to stay there.
Location was good, value for money and helpful staff enjoyed the breakfast.
Too crowded in a dorm. No lifts noisy no aircon in the rooms. Old funiture
The location was very good and the staff was very nice.. they provide pancake stuff for breakfast.
My tv was not working, that was a real bummer.. it would have made a big difference to my stay there..
Good location
No breakfast Old fashioned rooms Very loud
I stayed in a private room and it was nice for a cheap San Francisco room. No air conditioning, but that was ok because I just opened the window and the nights were cool. Sometimes the outside noise made it tough to fall asleep, but the rooms were clean and the bed was great. They have a nice common area in the basement with a big screen TV, couches, and comfortable sofa chairs.
The "free breakfast" was a bucket of pancake mix and coffee. It wasn't bad having to cook pancakes on an iron skillet and then having to wash dishes after eating--but it was a bit disappointing at first. The WiFi was super unreliable and often didn't work.
Price, location , good bed in the 4 person dorm room and bathroom attached to the room.

1 DisappointingFuzFuz | 22/11/2012 | See all FuzFuz's reviews (6)It was a good game, lot of potential. The premises (and prOmises) were amazing: No grinding, no gating...Sure, it would have needed some bit of changes and fixes here and there (the greatest being the lacking of a proper LFG tool), but it was overall pretty great for a new MMO.But with the Lost Shores patch they trashed it all. They broke ALL their promises, they went against their own manifesto. They went for an HEAVY grind style, a terrible gear treadmill. On top of that, the economy is ruined and prices are a real problem, especially for new players. So, if you want to buy or craft something now you pretty much have to buy money from their shop, making this a Pay to Win game.Really disappointed, it had potential, but now it's just another WoW clone, and WoW still does those things better.
5 Excellent game and a well designed collector's editionhongyi | 29/08/2012 | See all hongyi's reviews (1)The game itself is excellent and it offers the best levelling experience I've ever had in any recent MMOs. The collector's edition is well designed and the charr statue is absolutely huge!

That's what my wife told me at 3:15 in the morning a couple of nights ago. I thought she was talking in her sleep (she has talked in her sleep before) until she repeated it with a sense of urgency. You guys that have been married for a long time know when the tone of your spouse's voice conveys that seriousness and urgency... Made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck, instant rush of adrenaline. We are currently empty nesters.
I had been about half asleep/awake and was pretty sure she had dreamed it for 3 reasons.
1) We have a driveway alarm that will ring the doorbell whenever anything breaks the plane about 200 feet from the house. (but if someone avoided the sensor the house can be approached)
2) The wood flooring in our hallway creaks when someone walks on it.
3) My dog never made a sound, but he is not infallible.
But anyway, I got up with my handgun and a tactical flashlight and searched the house and double checked all the doors and windows.. nothing found! Everything was still locked.
My wife then realized that from where she was laying she could not see the doorway to notice a shadow passing down the hall.
I sleep stark naked and I did not take the time to pull on shorts before I cleared the house (although I keep a pair beside me on the floor). I don't really care about modesty if there will be possible intruder, perhaps my nakedness will cause a distraction (or blind the intruder).
We live in the country, the closest neighbor is 500 feet away.
A few minutes later my dog started barking outside but quickly ceased. I was convinced that she had been dreaming. I probably should have checked outside but my dog would not have stopped barking if there was an intruder, didn't want to go out in the cold, or take the time to get dressed.
It took a while to calm down enough to fall back asleep.
Put yourself in my shoes..
Any criticisms?

Story Highlight
Ella gets revenge on a cheating boyfriend in the visual.
Ella Eyre has unveiled a dramatic video for her new single Comeback.
Plate smashing, TV wrecking and all sorts of destruction happens in the visual about a cheating boyfriend.
The video kicks off with him apologising to Ella and trying to get her to take him back, before it goes on to show her and friends getting revenge by absolutely trashing his home and car.
But is it all just a fantasy?
Comeback is taken from Ella's forthcoming debut solo album and she says she wrote it when she was just 17 years old.
Last weekend, she performed at V Festival but told us there was lots of drama on the way there when a wheel came off the tour bus!
Watch the video for Comeback below. We're guessing no-one would want to cheat on Eyre after seeing this.

Hardware Specifications and Pricing
Powered by a 600MHz processor, the XS712T is the first 10GBase-T Smart Switch designed for SMB use. Advanced L2+ features give network administrators features not available on unmanaged products. Depending on need, the XS712T works well as core switch for SMB networks or as an aggregation switch in the middle of a medium sized network.
Going into the review, I found the XS712T with more features than I initially assumed. Netgear optimized the new ProSAFE family of products for converged networks where voice, data, and video flow over the same network. Auto VoIP prioritization eases office configuration and takes the complexity out of building a converged office. The L2+ rating means this switch pulls a handful of Layer 3 features.
As mentioned in the introduction, we managed to find the ProSAFE XS712T for $1661.99 at Newegg. This is less than the MSRP and much less than any competitor's 10GbE 12-port solution. If you are looking for the absolute best price, Amazon has the switch for as low as $1507.50 at the time of writing.
Netgear covers the unit with a lifetime warranty as long as you are the original purchaser and purchased the switch from an authorized dealer.

One of the SD staff did a six pound Pho challenge for a TV show.
http://slickdeals.net/f/2879409-I-m-a-Pho-King-TV-Star-Airs-Tonight?v=1 "Happiness and depression are both feelings, just like joy and anger. It's not feelings that give us problems. It's what we do with them that makes the difference." "When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life." "Worry gives a small thing a big shadow." |
Long time ago, we had a place here where they served what was called a "Pig's Dinner" - it was a huge ice cream sundae, with all the flavors the Ice Cream place had, plus banana's, cherries, whipped cream, etc., and this thing was HUGE to say the least. Anyone who was able to finish it, got it for free, and same thing, picture taken, and it added to the wall. Needless to say for all the years this old time place was in business, there were very few people who were able to finish the "Pig's Dinner". Fond memories of a bye-gone era and place of business - giant double scoops of ice cream for 25cents - fond, fond memories. Wow, I'm really going back in time
~ Everyone is gifted - but some people never open their package ~ ~ You were born an original. Don't die a copy. ~ ~People only see what they are prepared to see.~ |
It was actually served in a trough style container I so do remember this, as it was the place to go for homemade ice cream throughout the years growing up. The property now houses a Toyota Dealership. We had several businesses like this in the area, another one closed, but reopened with their original recipes, and the other is still in business since about 70 plus years ago, family owned and operated. But the one I spoke of was the only one that did the "Pig's Dinner" |
My sides hurt now! A trough? Really?! That is the coolest thing I've heard all week. |
Plus this little excerpt I found as well: The staff would ring bells and blow whistles and make a general fuss. When the frozen concoction made its arrival to the patron's table, it did so perched majestically upon a wood stretcher transported by two paper-hatted and aproned teens. They presented the customer with a single spoon and, amid thunderous applause, he would dig in! And this little excerpt from the memory of a seven year old: "Pig's Dinner", if the memories of a seven-year-old serve me correctly, was a mountain of four thousand scoops of every ice cream flavor the dairy offered, blanketed in fudge and strawberries, slathered in marshmallow and butterscotch sauces, dusted in nuts, fortified with fifty-seven sliced bananas and crowned with enormous, fluffy clouds of whipped cream and a single cherry. (Perhaps I have gotten some of the quantities wrong, but you get my point.) It was a place rich in history of people who went there with their memories still intact today; as anyone who lived in this area when young in the 50's, 60's, 70's and early 80's, certainly spent time there, and even prior to the 50's as well. |
12 scoops is a LOT! Especially with all the fruit and sauces and stuff, my goodness! It's probably like 5 days worth of calories. |
The other local ice cream location; that was there for generations - they raised the building to build a whole new shopping center - and therefore this was why it was closed. But the son who inherited the business after this new shopping center was built on "his former property" said BS - and said I'm opening back up my business - this is what WE are ABOUT - this Ice Cream Shop - it's been an institution here for decades - and WE are COMING BACK - and he did just that. It's been a success since he reopened it, as people missed it, that are local to the area. The other one located a little further away - is a seasonal place - think about that over 70 plus years in business - and little traffic during the winter months - as it's a place you go to and walk the streets where all the shops are - if it's too cold - people don't go - if it's really warm - it's packed and you can't find a place to walk on the sidewalks - which are narrow - as it's an old historic town - if it rains - well those who are brave enough are out. But they have managed to stay in business this long - in a high rent area - and I'm not quite sure if they actually own that building or not - I'd have to research that. They probably do after all this time - but those buildings are far older than 70 years old - they date back well over 100 plus years or more for the most part. So maybe, maybe not, as owning it, and/or paying rent. But fabulous homemade ice cream there as well. More than five days worth of calories |
