Welcome to the second installment in our handy little guide to choosing an area rug made from natural fibers! In part one, we discussed the differences between sisal and jute. Today, we'll be taking a look at two more fascinating fibers: seagrass and coir.
OK, everybody – you get three guesses. Where do you think seagrass comes from? (Cue the Jeopardy music…) Alright, time's up! What's your answer? Yes! That's right. It's grown in saltwater marshes.
Wait, what? Not the sea?
Well, yes, if you want to get all technical about it, the saltwater marshes are attached to the sea. They're found in some of the coastal areas in countries like India and China.
And here's the thing about using seagrass for an area rug: It embues the rug with magical powers. No, seriously!
The fact that seagrass is grown under water means that it's practically impervious to stains or any kind of moisture. The entire reed is used, including the outer protective layer of the fiber, so seagrass can't even be dyed – that's how stain-resistant this fiber is, you guys! So seagrass rugs are perfect for use in areas where spills and wetness are likely to be issues, like kitchens and bathrooms.
The retention of that strong outer layer also means that seagrass rugs are some of the most durable natural fiber rugs available. They will hold up quite well in high-traffic areas of a house.
Seagrass actually changes color over time. When it's fresh, it tends more towards a light shade of green, but as it ages, it gradually becomes more khaki in color. In either case, the color is not uniform, but variegated, which helps the seagrass rug appear cleaner longer – which is a pretty awesome bonus, as far as we're concerned!
Since seagrass is such a friendly fiber, you can wipe up spills easily without worrying about stains or watermarks, and it can also be vacuumed just like any other rug.
If you thought we were going all tropical using seagrass to make rugs, then just wait till you hear what coir rugs are made of.
You know those brown fibers on a coconut shell? Yep, that's coir. But it actually comes in two varieties – brown and white.
Brown coir comes from mature coconut husks, while white coir – or silver, as it's generally known – comes from immature, green coconuts.
Now, the amazing thing about coir is that it's super tough, so in its brown form, it's often used to make bristly doormats, like this one:
In its softer silver form, it's ideal for indoor coir rugs – like this one, which combines coir with jute for a stunning effect:
Although coir is extremely tough and water resistant on its own, when in a rug with a combination of fibers, like the above, it should be cleaned by vacuuming alone.
So there you have it! Two more fabulous fibers demystified, courtesy of your handy-dandy Rugs USA guide to natural fibers. Don't miss our next installment in the series, where we'll be discussing bamboo and hemp.

ABC News' John R. Parkinson (@JRPabcDC) reports:
In the wake of the surprise announcement that Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., will not run for reelection in 2012, Wisconsin lawmaker Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget committee, says he will take some time to decide whether to run for the open seat.
"I was surprised by Senator Kohl's announcement and want to take some time over the next few days to discuss this news with my family and supporters before making any decision about how I'm best able to serve my employers in the First Congressional District, our state and nation," Ryan, R-Wis., said in a statement Friday afternoon.
Despite their political differences, Ryan, the architect of the Republicans' "Path to Prosperity" budget resolution, also praised Kohl for his service to Wisconsin.
"In over two decades of service in the Senate, Herb Kohl has done much to help the great state of Wisconsin and the lives of its residents," Ryan said. "While Senator Kohl and I have had our policy disagreements in the past, he has always had my respect. It has been a privilege to work with him over the years, and I wish him the best in his future endeavors."
Ryan, who is serving in his seventh term in the House, devised Republicans' "Path to Prosperity," which would transform Medicare into a block grant program. A vote on the measure passed the House on April 15.
The measure is sure to be a political lightening rod in the 2012 election, with Democrats already fiercely pounding at the plan they say would "end Medicare as we know it."
Although the resolution is unlikely to pass in the Senate, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has pledged to bring to the bill up for a vote soon in order to put Senate Republicans on the record on the controversial plan.
Kohl, a four-term senator, became the sixth Senate Democrat to announce retirement this election cycle.
Kohl is one of the wealthiest Members of Congress well-known as the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team, which he purchased in 1985. Kohl amassed his fortune from his family-owned business, Kohl's grocery and department stores, which he sold in 1979. He is also a distinguished philanthropist, donating $25 million to the University of Wisconsin in the mid-90s to build a basketball arena, which was named in his likeness: "The Kohl Center."

Columbus, OH
Updated Wed, Nov 23, 2011 12:23 pm
An animal owners group in Ohio says it opposes a recommended state ban on keeping venomous snakes, monkeys, tigers and other dangerous animals.
A study group and several state agencies have proposed that Ohio prohibit people from owning those exotic animals beginning in 2014.
Owners would have to meet new temporary safety standards before then and also register their animals with the state within 60 days of the law taking effect.
The Ohio Association of Animal Owners was a member of the study panel but says the proposal goes too far.
The working group has held expedited meetings since last month, when police were forced to kill 48 wild animals - including endangered Bengal tigers - after their owner freed them from his Zanesville farm and then committed suicide.

Above: All emblems from chapter 1
Emblem 1: After an RPG blocks your intended route through the street, you'll detour through a building. Ascend some steps and look to your left once you reach the room with the pigs.
Emblem 2: Soon after the fight with the first mutated J'avo, you'll engage in a firefight with a group of hostiles, during which more enemies will emerge from a garage to your right. In the next room you'll find a lone crate right in front of you. Smash it reveal an emblem.
Emblem 3: As soon as you get back onto the rooftops, you'll be shown the "Ace of Spades" via a short cutscene. After the scene, turn around and look for a building draped in green in the distance. There's an emblem atop its highest protrusion.
Emblem 4: While you're moving between floors rescuing hostages, you can find the chapter's final emblem on the 6th floor behind some hanging meat. Make sure to get it before taking the elevator to the first floor.

2014 Big 12 Football Betting Preview
Baylor edged out three other teams to win the Big 12 conference title last season, but it's Oklahoma that sits as the favorite on the Big 12 championship odds at the sportsbooks heading into the 2014 campaign.
Baylor was 8-1 in Big 12 play last season, with each of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas going 7-2 in a three-way tie for second.
It's the Sooners, however, that are sitting as the 4/5 favorites on the odds to win the Big 12 championship at Bovada, with the Bears second on those NCAA football odds at 5/2.
Texas is then at 15/2 at Bovada on their Big 12 championship odds, with Oklahoma State at 12/1 and Kansas State at 10/1, and TCU rounding out that second tier of contenders at 12/1. Kansas State went 5-4 in Big 12 action last season, while TCU was an ugly 2-7.
Texas Tech (20/1), West Virginia (66/1), Iowa State (100/1), and Kansas (100/1) round out the odds to win the Big 12 championship at Bovada. The Jayhawks found themselves in the basement of the Big 12 last season, winning just one of their nine conference matchups.
2014 Odds to Win the Big 12 Championship at Bovada as of August 18:
Oklahoma 4/5
Baylor 5/2
Texas 15/2
Kansas State 10/1
Oklahoma State 12/1
Texas Tech 20/1
West Virginia 66/1
Iowa State 100/1
Kansas 100/1
Kansas State stunned the entire college football world with a run all the way to the Big 12 championship last season. Looking at the 2013 future odds for the Big 12 conference, this season could be a four or five team battle all season long for the 2013 title.
Texas (Odds to win BCS Championship at Bovada 25/1)
The Longhorns are looking for bigger and better things this season after going 9-4 straight-up in 2012 that included a disappointing 5-4 SU record in conference play. They went just 6-7 against the spread overall and 2-4 ATS at home. The total stayed UNDER in four of those six home games.
Oklahoma State (Odds to win BCS Championship at Bovada 33/1)
This could be the team to watch in the Big 12 with a good majority of their starters back from last year. The Cowboys went 8-5 SU (7-5 ATS) overall and 5-4 SU in the conference. They were a profitable 6-1 ATS at home with the total going OVER in five of those games.
Oklahoma (Odds to win BCS Championship at Bovada 50/1)
Bob Stoops faces a challenging season with a number of new faces on both sides of the ball. Last season the Sooners went 8-1 SU in the conference but a loss to Kansas State cost them the title. They were 6-7 ATS.
TCU (Odds to win BCS Championship at Bovada 66/1)
The Horned Frogs faced some growing pains in their first season in the Big 12 with a conference record of 4-5 SU. They were a costly 5-8 ATS overall and the total stayed UNDER in eight of 12 games.
Kansas State (Odds to win BCS Championship at Bovada 250/1)
The Wildcats will have a number of holes to fill on an offense that averaged 38.8 points a game. They will also have an incredibly difficult time duplicating an overall record of 11-2 SU and 9-3-1 ATS. The total went OVER in six of their seven home games.
West Virginia (Odds to win BCS Championship at Bovada 300/1)
As another newcomer to the conference in 2012, the Mountaineers stumbled to a 4-5 SU record in Big 12 play. They went 7-6 SU overall and 5-8 ATS. West Virginia did cover in three of their final four games.
Baylor (Odds to win BCS Championship at Bovada OFF)
The Bears averaged 44.5 points a game last season on their way to an 8-5 SU (9-4 ATS) record last season. The problem was a defense that gave-up 37.2 points, which led to eight of 12 games going OVER the total.
Iowa State (Odds to win BCS Championship at Bovada OFF)
The Cyclones won just two conference games last season and went 6-7 SU (5-7-1 ATS) overall. They finished the season 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games.
Kansas (Odds to win BCS Championship at Bovada OFF)
In was a rough year for the Jayhawks with an overall record of 1-11 SU that included nine straight losses in the conference. They went 4-7-1 ATS and the total stayed UNDER in seven of 11 games.
Texas Tech (Odds to win BCS Championship at Bovada OFF)
After a strong start, the Red Raiders went 2-4 SU and a costly 0-6 ATS in their final six games last year to finish 8-5 SU and 6-7 ATS overall.

Getting dirty in the 2014 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 Trail
Meet the 2014 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 Trail Premium: a simple, old dog that's learned a few new tricks in this latest generation. On paper, it's rocking a 12-year-old power-train that's as dumb as a bag of hammers, but atop those hammers is a bit of high-tech intelligence with an Advanced Traction Control system. At a glance, the chunky dashboard looks like a child's toy, but powering the infotainment is Toyota's Web-connected, app-based Entune system. No doubt you've already seen the middling star rating above, but I actually enjoyed my week spent with Big Red.… Read more


text: Winona city officials are reacting to the decision this week by the Minnesota Appeals court to uphold the city' 30-percent housing ordinance. The rule limits rental properties to occupy no more than 30-percent of a city block and property owners have been opposed to it. Mayor Mark Peterson said the Appellate Court decision determined that the law is legal. Peterson also predicts a state Supreme Court ruling, if one is sought, will be the same on the issue which is serving as a test case in Minnesota.

Chris Colfer can relate to his "Glee" character's outcast status and creative genius. Growing up in a conservative cow town in central California, he sought solace on the stage, joining a community theater group called Good Company Players when he was in elementary school. BY high school, he was president of a writers club, editor of the school's literary magazine and member of the speech team. As a senior, he wrote, directed and performed in a parody of "Sweeney Todd". While starting community college and working at a dry cleaners, he would drive to LA to audition and one of his first professional tests was for "Glee". While originally trying out for the part of Arty, he inspired creator Ryan Murphy to add the role of Kurt Hummel and he quickly became an audience favorite when the show debuted in 2009. BY 2011, Colfer had won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of a gay teen with a strong soprano voice who survived bullying, coming out to his father and wardrobe malfunctions. His inspirational role and incredible fan love gave him the strength to come out in real life as well. He has since toured with his musical costars, written a screenplay for "Struck By Lightning", published a novel called "The Land Of Stories" and is developing a TV series for the Disney Channel.

Sniper Elite V2
Version and / or Patch Used: Standalone Benchmark
Sniper Elite V2 numbers are great across the board. At the highest resolution, you can see a strong performance increase from the MSI R9 280X 6GB Twin Frozr Gaming OC, which sees our card move out of the 60 FPS range and into the 70 FPS, giving us more breathing room, which is something that is always appreciated.
Sleeping Dogs
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update
Sleeping Dogs numbers are slightly ahead of the XFX Double D Black Edition at all resolutions. The gains aren't huge here, though. The main thing is that we've got playable FPS at all resolutions.

Talk Abstract:
One of the great, open challenges in machine vision is to train a computer to "see people." A reliable solution opens up tremendous possibilities, from automated persistent surveillance and next-generation image search, to more intuitive computer interfaces. It is difficult to analyze people, and objects in general, because their appearance can vary due to a variety of "nuisance" factors (including viewpoint, body pose, and clothing) and because real-world images contain clutter. I will describe machine learning algorithms that accomplish such tasks by encoding image statistics of the visual world learned from large-scale training data. I will focus on predictive models that produce
rich, structured descriptions of images and videos (How many people are present? What are they doing?) and models that compensate for nuisance factors through the use of latent variables. I will illustrate such approaches for the tasks of object detection, people tracking, and activity recognition, producing state-of-the-art systems as evidenced by recent benchmark competitions.

Police stake out Donaghy's home after ex-NBA ref received phone threats
Police staked out former NBA referee Tim Donaghy's home after he received two telephone threats following disclosure that the FBI is investigating him for betting on games he worked.
Both calls seemed to come from the same unidentified caller, Manatee County Sheriff's Office spokesman Randy Warren said.
"There is reason for us to keep an eye on his place and follow up," he said.
Three squad cars arrived at Donaghy's home in Bradenton, Fla., on Sunday after he received the calls, according to a sheriff's office report. Donaghy did not have a listed phone number at his home.
Donaghy is not expected to turn himself in until later this week or early next week.
When he does surrender to authorities, he will do so in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, according to a person familiar with the FBI investigation.
Though under investigation, Donaghy has not yet been charged with any crime.
NBA commissioner David Stern plans to hold a press conference Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that the NBA sent an eight-page pamphlet to all its referees entitled "Bad Bets: Understanding the NBA's Anti Gambling Rules." In it, it confirms to officials that they are prohibited from gambling or placing bets of any time.
A person with knowledge of the FBI investigation said the NBA was unaware of the FBI investigation until after the NBA Finals. The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the ongoing case.
According to a law enforcement official, authorities are examining whether the referee made calls to affect the point spread in games on which he or associates had wagered thousands of dollars over the past two seasons. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, because he wasn't authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.
The referee had a gambling problem and was approached by low-level mob associates through an acquaintance, the official said.
He is the only referee, at this point, under investigation, according to a law enforcement official, but others outside the NBA are expected to be charged in the betting probe.
The New York Daily News, citing unidentified law enforcement sources, reported Sunday that Donaghy will cooperate with authorities and possibly name other officials and players involved in the betting scandal. On Monday, the newspaper reported former neighbors of Donaghy in Pennsylvania said they were approached more than a year ago by a private investigator they believed was hired by the NBA to check into Donaghy's gambling habits.
Kit Antsey, a real estate agent in West Chester, Pa., who helped Donaghy buy a home, told The Daily News a private investigator contacted him 18 months ago and asked him whether Donaghy bet on sports and at an Atlantic City casino.
Donaghy was an NBA official for 13 years. He officiated 68 games in the 2005-06 season and 63 games in 2006-07, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. He also worked 20 playoff games, including five last season -- Pistons-Magic on April 23; Warriors-Mavericks on April 27; Suns-Lakers on April 29; Nets-Raptors on May 4; and Spurs-Suns on May 12.
In Bradenton, Fla., on Saturday, a woman came to the door of the home where Donaghy lives and shouted through the door: "We have no comment."

Brothers Brent and Brian Pilrain pay homage to the prevalence of the Roman Empire in Europe during its heyday by combining Italian fare with cuisines from France and Germany, using ingredients and premium meats including certified Sterling Silver beef hand-selected by chef Brian himself. Inside the kitchen, he gets to work by firing pizzas in the wood-burning brick oven and baking tender beef wellington. Mirroring the chef, the dining room's mural depicts a stone carving of cooks flipping disks of pizza dough in front of fiery ovens, and the nearby bartenders pour glasses of red and white wine, and pass out cold bottles of crdelaft and imported beers.
The crew at Cobblestone Cafe has manned crackling griddles and grills for more than three decades to forge a menu of time-tested diner fare. Around the forest-green eatery, patrons at outdoor tables feast on egg skillets, pancakes, and breakfast wraps or enjoy fresh air not purchased from corrupt park rangers. As the sun rises higher in the sky, plates clatter with loads of meatloaf, burgers, and french-dip sandwiches.
Inspired by a vacation to Tuscany, executive chef Justin Grecco conducts a symphony of locally sourced ingredients to create authentic Italian fare. After acclimating to the eatery's red walls and checkered tablecloths, diners can begin culinary sojourns with arugula salad ($11) or crispy calamari ($9), the crunchiest thing to emerge from the sea since Poseidon's jam band last toured. Roman Anthony's dinner menu features shapely noodle formations such as the pappardelle pasta, which is tossed with braised beef, wild mushrooms, and basil-infused San Marzano tomato sauce ($25), and the cream-sauce-coated stuffed lobster ravioli ($25). Grilled pork bistecca comes bathed in balsamic reduction and strawberry demi glace, nestled next to a jumble of farm fresh veggies ($22). Roman Anthony's also dispenses an array of fine wines and spirits from behind a granite bar that seats 35 people upright, or 25 if they insist on leaning like their favorite Italian tower.
New Casa Lupita's menu boasts a bounty of authentic south-of-the-border dishes prepared using recipes from the owners' hometown of Guadalajara. Inside the deli-style restaurant, slurp up homemade tortilla soup ($3.50) or plunge into 12 ounces of guacamole dip ($5.49). Patio diners let the breeze sweep through their tresses as they gobble down mammoth tortillas bursting at the flour seams with tender carne asada steak, rice, beans, salsa, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and onions ($6.19).
Ben Pratt is a student of balance. As the award-winning chef at Ingredients Cafe, he sources local and sustainable ingredients to please the palate with elegantly blended flavors. Lamb sliders feature a dressing of lemon, garlic, and saffron. Local grass-fed New York strip is served with a red wine steak sauce. And he dunks saut?ed chicken and sun dried tomatoes into a lemon caper sauce. The kitchen doesn?t stop at dinner; housemade ice cream and cakes finish off meals on a sweet note. With intimate knowledge of each flavorful bite on the menu, Chef Ben also curates a list of wines from the Americas, Europe, and Australia.
At BYO Burger, it's advisable to don a yellow hard hat before ordering your juicy patty and bun?there's construction work to be done. That's because BYO's burgers are custom-built out of dozens of meat, bun, cheese, sauce, and topping options, yielding more than 400,000 possible combinations. Get creative enough with your recipe, and your burger could even enter the Burger Hall of Fame. For the less DIY-inclined, the menu also has a selection of signature burgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs that only require demolition.

GM Records Its Highest Profit Ever: $7.6 Billion
DETROIT (AP) â¿¿ Just two years after it was rescued and reconstituted through bankruptcy and a government bailout, General Motors Co. cruised through 2011 to post the biggest profit in its history.
The 103-year-old company, leaner and smarter under new management, cut costs by taking advantage of its size around the globe. And its new products boosted sales so much that it has reclaimed the title of world's biggest automaker from Toyota.
GM may have a hard time breaking this record in 2012 because it is losing money in Europe and South America, and U.S. sales growth slowed in the last three months of 2011.
But the company's performance in North America and Asia still helped it earn $7.6 billion for the year, beating the record of $6.7 billion set during the truck boom in 1997. The profit won't stop the debate about spending $49.5 billion in taxpayer dollars to save GM. But it did drive up the company's stock price, which could help the government get more of its money back. The bailout of GM and Chrysler Group LLC, begun by George W. Bush and finished by Barack Obama, remains a major issue in this year's presidential campaign. It's so politically charged that even a Super Bowl ad celebrating Chrysler's rebirth caused arguments. GM, which released its earnings Thursday, performed best in its home territory, posting a $7.2 billion pretax profit in North America. The numbers were so good that 47,500 blue-collar workers will get $7,000 profit-sharing checks, the maximum allowable under their new union contract. International Operations, which includes Asia, made $1.9 billion before taxes, but that was down from 2010. GM's cost cuts, and its outlook for this year helped to push up the stock price by almost 9 percent to $27.08. The company said it trimmed costs by $500 million in the fourth quarter alone mainly by consolidating advertising agencies and engineering operations. A prediction that costs wouldn't rise this year wowed investors, especially since other automakers have forecast rising costs, said Itay Michaeli, an analyst for Citi Investment Research.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

This publication reports on a national survey to determine current practices used in the development of tobacco control messages by organisations in Australia providing anti-tobacco programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Forty-seven people from 44 different organisations including Aboriginal medical services, government and non-government organisations, and universities were interviewed about their programs.
This study aimed to fill an important knowledge gap in the way messages and accompanying resources are being produced and disseminated. Analysis of the data gained from the survey will enable contributions towards making future recommendations for best practice. The authors recommend refinement of evaluation, pre-empting cultural challenges, and synergy by partnerships to achieve the goal of closing the gap on Indigenous health caused by tobacco smoking.

This study examined the use of an Indigenous Mental Health Worker Register to assess the level of correct identification of Indigenous status and sources of error among psychiatric admissions within a regional public hospital information system. Inaccuracy in identification of Indigenous status on health records hampers collection of the good quality data required to guide policies, programs and services.

In this report, the author discusses the issue of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers (AHWs) in Australia being 'short changed'. The report states that AHWs have not been given enough training to adequately perform their roles; are undervalued, under paid, and overburdened with difficult health issues; and still do not have clearly defined roles and support.
The AHW workforce has been declining in recent years and the author suggests that to improve this, training for AHWs could be broken into three broad categories: clinical care or primary care, community care or community service, and cultural brokerage.

This publication is a key output from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker project, a major workforce development project currently being undertaken by Health Workforce Australia (HWA).
The publication documents and synthesises the wide range of information and data (e.g. policies, practices and research studies) relevant to the development of Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker workforce. The publication:
The publication focuses on two broad areas:
The publication is not intended as an exhaustive literature review. Rather, it is a working resource for the Health Worker project which summarises the key themes arising from a range of sources identified through desktop research, key informant interviews and feedback from planning and reference groups.

The Give smokes the flick, it really makes cents (GSTF) resource was developed for workers with pregnant Aboriginal clients.
This evaluation aimed to determine if workers and clients found this resource effective and culturally appropriate. It also aimed to determine the impact the resource had on smoking behaviours of pregnant Aboriginal women and their families and the Aboriginal workers connected to them.
The evaluation found that GSTF is an effective smoking cessation strategy for Aboriginal people. By clearly linking quitting tobacco use to financial savings, it appears to resonate within the context of disadvantage faced by many Aboriginal people and motivate smokers to reduce or quit smoking. GSTF was considered culturally appropriate, however the study identified major skills gaps amongst workers providing cessation services to Aboriginal clients.

December 1, 2004
One of Hamilton's challenges in its attempt to defend its 5A state football championship this season has been rebuilding a good portion of its defense. With just one more test to pass, the revamped unit has proven capable of a repeat.
One of the keys has been retooling the linebacking corps. Two newcomers to the linebacking unit (senior Miles Posz and junior Gerald Munns) have combined with veteran Jimmy Rogers to form the nucleus of a Hamilton defense that at times bends, but rarely breaks.
''The leader of our team is Jimmy Rogers,'' Hamilton coach John Wrenn said. ''He is the heart and soul of the defense.''
Rogers, a 5-foot-11, 185-pound senior and three-year starter, is the lone returning starter from the 2003 linebacking corps that outlasted Mountain View 35-28 in triple overtime for the title at Sun Devil Stadium.
Heading into the Saturday's championship game against Glendale Mountain Ridge, Rogers is the Huskies' defensive points leader this season and second in his career only to former standout linebacker Michael McDonald, who he could pass in that category with a solid showing in the title game.
Rogers, an outside linebacker, leads Hamilton in defensive points with 206 and has contributed in 10 of the 12 categories that score points in the Huskies' grading system.
The only categories he hasn't contributed in are scoring a touchdown and scoring a safety.
Rogers has been good friends with Posz since their Pop Warner days when both played linebacker and running back.
Rogers knew little about Munns prior to this season.
But after playing 13 games with him, he now knows plenty and it's all good.
''Miles had the (defensive) concept last year playing another position,'' Rogers said. ''It's been a great privilege to play with Gerald Munns this season and watch him pick things up so well.''
Munns, who transferred from Basha High last winter, ranks third on the team in defensive points (169.5) and leads in assisted tackles (79) from his outside linebacker spot.
''He's an extremely smart kid and a quiet leader,'' Wrenn said. ''He's played far and above what we thought he'd do in his first year.''
At 6-1, 218 pounds, Munns is the biggest of the three, but has felt the shock of the shift from junior varsity play to varsity.
''It's been a lot different experience for me this year,'' Munns said. ''Playing for a state title contender and on varsity, it's so different. The intensity of varsity, you can't afford to take a play off. I think ever since the second half of the Gilbert game (Week 9), we've been playing our best defense of the year.''
At middle linebacker is Posz, a defensive starter last year as a down lineman.
With a superb linebacking corps of Adam Vincent, Rogers and Mark Gruner in 2003, there wasn't a spot for Posz in the second tier of the defense.
But he filled in most of the season for then-injured senior Jeremiah Nelson on the defensive front.
This year, Posz has filled the bill most capably in his varsity linebacker debut.
He is right behind Rogers in defensive points at 184.5 and leads the team in total tackles (114). ''Linebacker is Miles' position,'' Wrenn said. ''He was the best fit for what we needed on the defensive line last year. He's a big, strong physical type kid.''
As a group, Wrenn rates the current trio of 'backers as very good. How they stack up against an explosive Mountain Ridge offense, which has gone wild the second half of the season and particularly in the postseason, will define the 2004 Huskies defense.
''They are right up there with our groups of the past,'' Wrenn said. ''The jury is out until we see how they do in this last game. It's a great challenge for them and our defense.''

I am a little disappointed with this pen. Reading the explanation of the pen, I
thought it accepted Jetstream pen cartridges. If someone can correct me, please
do! I really want to be corrected on whether Jetstream cartridges actually work
with these. Besides that, the mechanism that changes the pen colors is a little
nonresponsive. It may take a few tries. The pens that do work with this work
great! The five color barrel may be too large for people who like smaller
barrels, but that's a matter of taste. I like several colors at once! The pen
body is sleek, also.

Slippery little sucker!
Slippery little sucker!
I really wanted to like this pen but it is bulky, the grip (or lack of it) is the deal breaker, as well as the fact that the clickers don't stay clicked (especially the clip clicker ... I could go on, but it would just be more of the same ... IF ONLY they would put a silicone grip on these ... then I might be persuaded ... It's the same reason I won't buy any more of the 'pretty' Coleto bodies ... horrid cheap plastic. However, I do really love the 0.38 Style Fit refills, so I cut them down to fit in my Coleto bodies - Bliss! 1 person found this helpful

I'm sorry this brand...
Verified Purchase
I'm sorry this brand of ink/pen refills is very difficult to write with. The
only way that the ink comes out smoothly on .28 and .38 sizes (only ones I have
tried) is if you write with your pen straight up and down. If you don't write
with your pen absolutely perpendicular to the paper, then the tip scrapes
weirdly against the paper (you feel the edge that holds the rolling ball
scraping) and the ink does not come out evenly, you keep getting areas where the
line goes blank or goes light and it looks horrible.
I purchased Hi-tec-C Coleto at the same time to test them -- and those are AMAZING. no matter what direction you write in, I bought .3 and .4 size tips and both are amazing. For larger amounts of writing, the .4 is best because otherwise the .3 is quite thin. The .3 is ideal for taking notes in margins and having super neat handwriting which is very clear and awesome!!!! Also, when you get the pencil cartridge, there's no eraser on the body or place to put an eraser. So...kind of stinks. Apart from that, I don't like that you can't see the colors of the pen on the switches of ANY of these pens, you have to look at the stick inside by your hand so you move your hand off, and then somehow try to match it to the right switch. Sorry, I hate it. 3 people found this helpful

Pretty versatile - I love taking notes with it in my science classes. Only
complaint I have is that the pen body is kind of fragile - granted, I got this
mid-January and the body is already cracked. Perhaps that happens due to natural
wear and tear, but I treat all of my stuff with care - it's only been in the
pens compartment in my backpack, but even then I don't go around chucking it
around.. =/ Considering I paid $3.75 for this, I'm quite disappointed that the
plastic was actually THAT cheap-quality..

Hi, I was wondering if you could put 5 of the mechanical pencil cartridges in

time. Anyone know if it works?

Verified Purchase
It's versatile and functions very nicely, but the pen body could stand to be
better. The clicking mechanism can be annoying to use and the ink cartridges
aren't solidly locked into the case, so there is some rattling. Hardly a deal
breaker, but it's something to note.
April 28, 2010
This pen takes a little...
This pen takes a little dexterity to load and change - you have to look down the
open barrel and push your refill into one of 5 holes until you feel a small
click. The buttons depress very smoothly, stay down while you're writing, and
pop right back up when you press a different one. The pen body is completely
smooth, and I love how the bottom is clear so you can see all your pen/pencil
tips lined up.
I'm so glad someone came out with a multi-pen that's this customizable. In mine I have a black gel ink pen and 4 mechanical pencils (with graphite, red, orange and blue leads). I LOVE IT, It's all I need for writing, sketching or drawing on the go. |

A Melbourne man who successfully sued Google for defaming him by linking him to underworld figures has been awarded AU$200,000 in damages from the US search engine.
Michael Trkulja was shot in the back as he dined in a St Albans restaurant in 2004.
He sued Google upon finding that a search of his name brought up his image on the same page as convicted drug boss Tony Mokbel.
An article about his shooting was published under the heading "Melbourne crime."
A Victorian Supreme Court jury found that the publications implied that Trkulja was so involved with crime in Melbourne that his rivals had hired a hitman to murder him.
Justice David Beach today ordered Google to pay Trkulja AU$200,000 in damages for continuing to publish the defamatory material between October and December 2009, despite having received a letter from Trkulja's lawyers in September asking for its removal.
The trial heard that Trkulja had been a show business manager for 40 years, had a top-rating television show in the 1990s, and was a highly respected member of the Serbian community in Melbourne.
The publications by Google had caused him devastation, hurt, and stress, the court heard.
Google denied that the meanings alleged by Trkulja were conveyed, and pleaded innocent dissemination, arguing that its publication system is fully automated.
Justice Beach said that the jury was entitled to find that Google intended to publish the material produced by its automated systems, because that was what Google employees had designed the systems to do.
"In that sense, Google Inc is like the newsagent that sells a newspaper containing a defamatory article," he said.
"While there might be no specific intention to publish defamatory material, there is a relevant intention by the newsagent to publish the newspaper for the purposes of the law of defamation."
Trkulja was earlier this year awarded AU$225,000 in damages from the Yahoo7 search engine over its publication of the material.
A Google spokesman said that the results displayed by the search engine were a reflection of the content and information available on the internet.
"The sites in Google's search results are controlled by those sites' webmasters, not by Google," he said.
Google has previously used the automation of its system as a defence in a case brought against it by the competition regulator over misleading advertising appearing in search results. That case went to the High Court in September this year , but the judgment has yet to be handed down.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs
History of the persecution of the Reformers in England, by John Foxe (1516 – 1587), an extreme Reformer. His work, entitled Acts and Monuments but popularly known as the Book of Martyrs, was first published, 1563, and had numerous editions. It contains three volumes: the first deals with early Christian persecutions and contains a sketch of medieval church history and an account of the Wyclifite movement in England and on the Continent; the second treats of the reigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI; and the third gives that of Mary I. It includes a number of documents and is illustrated throughout by woodcuts, most of them luridly depicting the sufferings of the martyrs. A convocation of the Anglican Church in 1571, ordered that copies of the work be kept for public inspection in all cathedrals and in houses of church dignitaries. It enjoyed great popularity among Puritans and members of the Low Church until the 19th century, and contributed greatly towards anti-Catholic prejudice in England.

Hi All; I've been reading posts on this forum for a while as I have been planning my new house. I am building in Pennsylvania on a mountaintop and will have an entire 2 story wall of windows on the west side of my house (sunset views). This is also the wind/weather side of the house and the temperatures can get quite cold and windy here in the winter. I've done a search on this and other fourms and have read reviews of the various manufacturers. I have a great framing contractor that has been doing business for 30 years in our area and he likes Anderson windows (no affiliation with Anderson). The architect likes Marvin. The two suppliers I am working with (not big boxes) have both suggested that I look at Weathershield for comparison. All of the above have suggested that I not go with Pella for my particular application. Architect has specified clad windows. I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions and any other recommendations. Thanks. |

The Andersen 400 is a decent option and the Marvin Ultimate is regarded as the better of the two (at least from most of the folks on here and the people that I know). I would throw Kolbe & Kolbe in that mix as well. There is a regular poster on here by the name of millworkman4u that really know wood backwards and forwards. He also runs a supply house out of NH. I am sure he can provide some feedback as well and maybe make a recommendation on who to call. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Web link
Thanks. Does the Marvin Integrity wood/ultrex offer any benefit over their aluminum clad windows from a severe weather performance perspective? Also, from a purely performance perspective, is there a reason to prefer aluminum clad to vinyl clad or vice versa. I can't overstate the need for weather resistance. One of the largest wind farms in the state is on the next ridge and it was chosen because of the documented high sustained winds. This one wall is about 500sf of mostly glass facing directly in to the wind so above all I am concerned with harsh weather (wind driven rain and snow) performance. The exterior of the house will be brick if that matters. |
You can bet I will NEVER USE HURD WINDOW product! I purchased very expensive HURD thermopane windows a little over ten years ago. Every window now is a milky white to the point that you can hardly see through. Two years ago I contacted the seller, then the distributor, then the regional customer service and finally the HURD company. Each process took months with each replying that I needed to talk to the "Next Level". I have the original receipt, all the paperwork that came with the windows AND A CERTIFICATE OF WARRANTY. This document states the thermopane glass portion of the window has a LIFETIME WARRANTY. The final answer from Sheryl ... some lengthy response that indicated they now NO LONGER WILL HONOR LIFETIME WINDOW WARRANTIES. Even if the windows are not that old. This is especially upsetting because the sales rep made such a big deal about the "Quality" of the HURD windows and the their Lifetime Warranty. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 19:18
Fiberglass will be less prone to issue as compared to an aluminum or vinyl clad exterior. All clad windows will have inherent weak points when it comes to weather. Some are better about holding up for longer terms while others are not. |
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Apr 18, 12 at 20:54
Thank you wow. Personally I can say nothing good about Weathershield, I would start with Marvin or Kolbe as my first choices. My next choice would be Integrity by Marvin. Andersen 400's are an ok window and would use them before quite a few brands. |
House Doc got caught up in the multiple bankruptcy drama of Hurd. Hurd isn't really even Hurd anymore. I would recommend Marvin and all the other recommendations above. I am spiritually adverse to |
This is regarding HURD DOUBLE HUNG Windows…My husband and I are building a retirement home and our local lumber yard recommended HURD. They said they sold their casement windows and their customers loved them. They looked beautiful and the glass looked great… I looked them up on the internet and looked at their example in the store. I decided it looked comparable to an upper grade window. We purchased the double hung and had them installed. First thing that happened my contractor said they were so flimsy when they installed them it took twice as long to install to get them straight. Next thing we noticed was the screens didn't fit and were so flimsy if you just touched them they would fall out! Next we noticed the mechanisms. Two of mechanisms broke when we tried to open the window. Very cheap! There's ONLY ONE seal to protect you from the outside. The seal is made of some fuzz with a piece of rubber in it! You can literally put a card, knife etc, thru it…These windows reminds you of a MOBILE HOME window! We called our local lumber yard and they contacted the distributor who was from GUARDIAN…he came out and you could tell he didn't care and did not want to be there. He was VERY rude and said they were all jacked! My contractor was there and measured them and proved they were not! We got in an argument and he left! The so called HURD rep couldn't show up for another week! LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! When he finally showed up he wouldn't even talk to me he said he was there to fix the windows!! That's not why I called him…he didn't care! They got their money and that's all they care about…I told him his company misrepresented us about by showing examples on the internet and in the store that wasn't there window!!! He didn't say a word to me! VERY RUDE!!!! I told them I did not want these windows and he kept on fixing them instead of talking to me and left!! I have built 3 homes and remodeled 6 homes in my life time! I have NEVER had such BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!! These are lousy windows for the money! They misrepresent their product! CHEAP MECHANISMS AND SEALS. If I had the money I would sue them…IF I FIND A WAY I WILL…I would say they are worst than 3rd grade windows but they are charging for 1st grade windows! Stay clear from HURD windows! |

Pop out from Hosier Lane onto Flinders Street and turn right, heading west. You will see several key Melbourne landmarks on the corner of Flinders and Swanston streets. On your right is St Paul's Cathedral. The current building was erected in 1885 and has several Gothic elements including the spires and arches. Diagonally across is the iconic entrance to Flinders Street Station. The front of the station is covered in clocks and is a popular meeting spot. "I'll meet you under the clocks" is a common reference.
Federation Square, a stark example of modern architecture, is opposite St Paul's. Since it officially opened in 2002, it has become one of Melbourne's most popular attractions and there are often free gigs or performances here. Each year, thousands pack the square to catch the Australian Open and other key Melbourne events on the giant screen.
End all that walking with a well-deserved drink at the Young & Jackson's pub on the corner of Flinders and Swanston streets. This is one of Melbourne's oldest pubs, serving beer since 1861, and a popular watering hole with a rooftop cider bar. If alcohol is not your thing, continue along Flinders Street and turn right into Degraves Street where cafes abound.
