On March 10, 2006, I lost a beloved friend and the world lost an outstanding master gem carver. Whittaker specialized in gemstone flutes and ocarinas, as well as beautiful nature-inspired netsuke and ojime. He worked in various gems, quartz crystals, and several types of jade (including Guatemalan blue jadeite, the recently re-discovered stone of the Olmecs.) His art reflects his love of the earth and personal connection with the stones. It literally embodies the strength of his heart and will, and his pieces are treasures that transcend all time and culture. As a friend, his gracious warmth, humility, and deep gentleness were as precious as his creative talent.
Nodule Ocarina in Key of F by Whittaker Freegard, 1995.
I commissioned this piece. It is a river pebble from Salisbury, England. He left part of the stone rough and natural, and polished the rest to reveal iron oxide patterns in the hydration rind and fresh gray flint underneath. It is a powerful shaman's tool with a shrill, wild, primitive voice. |

In many homes, pets are part of the family. So it should be no surprise that when they die, they often leave a void and a lasting memory.
Many people choose to preserve that memory with a marked grave. At the Hinsdale Animal Cemetery, more than 20,000 pets have been buried since 1926.
"A lot of people want to know where their pet's final resting place is," said owner Bill Remkus. "That brings comfort to a lot of people. They want a place they can come and remember their pet."
Walking through the grounds, southwest of 63rd Street and Clarendon Hills Road in Willowbrook, visitors see heartfelt messages engraved on the tombstones:
"Snowball, heaven reward you for the love and joy you gave us."
"Dear gentle friend, until we meet again."
"Mick, a golden retriever, may he always have fun in the golden sun."
"Shorty, our best pal who came from the street and into our hearts."
Many of the markers have ceramic photos of the pet on them.
Often, one headstone is used to mark the graves of more than one pet. One reads, "Duke followed Bandit everywhere, even to this grave." Many tombstones bear the family's name and the years the pet lived, but some are very simple, with just the dog's name on it.
For burials, caskets from pine boxes to hardwood coffins with a vault, costing more than $1,000, are available.
Remkus' parents and grandparents bought the cemetery in 1950. His father owned a grocery store in Englewood and continued to run it and live in Chicago until 1954. The family then relocated to Willowbrook. The cemetery was about 5 acres then.
"We have added property over the years, and now it's about 12 acres," Remkus said.
Families may arrange a graveside service, if they want one.
"It's always good to have some form of ritual because it helps with the healing process," Remkus said. "From time to time, we have had clergy out."
But more often, family members say kind words about the pet, especially when there are young children.
"It may be the child's first experience with death," Remkus said.
He said they have done burials and cremations for animals as small as hamsters and as large as horses.
For people who want to keep their animal's ashes, it's important the pet is placed in the crematory alone. Remkus warns there are a lot of "cheats" out there, who return ashes to a family that may or may not be from their pet. If the pet was cremated with other animals, the ashes will be mixed together.
"There's no way to separate them," Remkus said. "They're not giving people what they pay for."
For people who want to be sure they receive the ashes of their pet alone, Hinsdale Cemetery has a viewing window from which a person can see the empty crematory, and watch as their pet's body is placed inside. They can wait for the incineration to finish and leave with their pet's ashes that day.
"We probably average about four attended cremations a day," Remkus said.
After a private cremation, the ashes may be saved in an urn, scattered or buried.
When the cemetery does cremations of several pets at once, the communal ashes are mixed with a product to create an organic mixture that is scattered on the cemetery grounds.
"With some of these disposal services, the ashes end up in a landfill," Remkus said. "No care is given to them. I just don't think that is right. We want to provide more dignified services for our customers."
Pet owners appreciate the care and sensitivity the cemetery staff provides.
"We hear that from people everyday," Remkus said. "They are so thankful to know their pets' final resting place."

39 Things We Learned From the 'Phantasm' Commentary Track
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on March 31, 2012 | Comments (5)Experiencing Don Coscarelli's latest, John Dies at the End, was a trip at South by Southwest. Actually, experiencing any of Coscarelli's films are a trip of one kind or another, and the guy is such a pleasant film maker you can't help but want to hear him talk about his earlier works. That's why we've chosen Phantasm this week. One of his earliest works, it was this horror film that landed Coscarelli on the industry map, turning its success into a full-fledged career that continues to this day. It's also his scariest and arguably his best to date. But, as interesting as it is to hear Coscarelli speak, it's good to have friends, and he's brought three of them along for this commentary track. The DVD box boasts Reggie Banister, who plays the guitar-wielding ice cream guy, Reggie – Pretty sure the part was written for him – but he doesn't appear on the commentary. Instead, it features the other two leads, Michael Baldwin and Bill Thornbury, and the Tall Man himself, Angus Scrimm, who isn't even listed on the box. Regardless, we've got the writer/director on board and three of the film's main actors, so grab a seat and check out all the things we learned from hearing these men talk about Phantasm. It's the commentary that's got balls. If you haven't seen the film, I regret the euphemism already.

To further rebuild stakeholder confidence, financial institutions may need to broaden their governance and disclosure policies.
William (Bill) Murphy
Advisory Partner and National Leader, Climate Change & Sustainability Services
Katie Dunphy
Senior Manager, Climate Change & Sustainability Services
Although the worst of the global financial crisis is past, its legacy continues to place new demands on financial institutions around the world.
Decreased customer and stakeholder loyalty has been one of the prime ripple effects. A 2010 survey by AllixPartners showed a nearly 36% increase in customer distrust of banks between 2008 and 2009. This trend, although perhaps more muted in Canada, is not without its consequences. The same survey showed that a full 33% are changing their investment behaviour and 31% are changing their current banking relationship.
These trends indicate that financial institutions face growing challenges in rebuilding stakeholder confidence and restoring customer loyalty. Gone are the days when stakeholders believed that financial reports alone could tell a complete story about enterprise performance. Today, investors and customers expect more comprehensive management of, and broader disclosure of results related to, a full range of both economic and sustainability-related issues including ethics, corporate governance, risk management and environmental performance.
The Need for More Comprehensive Initiatives
Given the increased expectation of transparency and responsible business practices, many financial institutions are realizing the value of integrating the principles of corporate responsibility and sustainability into core business activities. Responsibility programs traditionally founded in philanthropic commitments are now extending far beyond donation and sponsorship based activities, and are helping drive service excellence and innovation that reflects the changing demands of customers.
Innovative financial institutions are introducing new products, services and programs specifically geared towards advancing sustainability, such as paperless accounts and loans for solar homes. Moreover, new investment and lending policies that demonstrate adherence to sustainable practices are becoming more common—even when this means re-examining historical investments. The rationale for these changes stems from societal pressures, but can contribute to both sustainable growth and improved business performance.
The Rewards: Pursuing Mutual Benefit
Companies cannot create a sustainable enterprise and build social capital overnight. Yet, organizations that commit to sustainable business practices typically find that the rewards outweigh the risks and costs. Organizations taking sustainability into account when making strategic decisions often uncover new stores of innovation that position them to access new markets, introduce new products and services, and reduce costs.
Canada's financial institutions are beginning to benefit in similar ways. For example, financial institutions that capitalize on emerging emissions trading schemes and carbon funds can create new service revenue streams. Likewise, financial institutions that adopt innovative lending practices supporting marginalized communities and populations with limited access to financial services tap underserved markets. Cost reduction is possible through enhancing resource efficiencies, rationalizing assets and suppliers and reducing waste. Sustainable business practices also improve risk management by broadening regulatory compliance and ensuring business partners and suppliers adhere to minimum environmental and safety standards. A competitive advantage can be realized by incorporating ethical and sustainable evaluation criteria into investment analysis and decision-making processes.
In order to drive these types of organizational change, financial institutions are paying increasing attention to the information and tools available to guide strategic decision making.
Voluntary Disclosure, Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management
In an environment of increased stakeholder interest in non-traditional performance measures, the activities encompassed by sustainability reporting are on the rise. Voluntary initiatives—like the UN Global Compact and the Carbon Disclosure Project —require signatories to disclose their performance across a wide range of categories. Other initiatives focus specifically on financial industry practices, such as the UN Principles for Responsible Investment and The Equator Principles, which encourage institutional investors to adhere to key principles designed to minimize the negative effects that environmental, social and corporate governance issues can have on investment portfolio performance.
While many of these sustainability reporting frameworks remain voluntary, their adoption is growing and the tide is turning. In countries such as Denmark, France and South Africa, publicly listed companies are already required to report comprehensive sustainability information. While there are no similar requirements in Canada, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) released guidance in October 2010 designed to help report issuers understand their existing environmental disclosure requirements. A global drive towards an integrated framework for financial and sustainability reporting by public companies is well underway.
In the meantime, private and institutional investors are increasingly relying on voluntary environmental, social and governance disclosures when making investment decisions. This is compelling companies in the capital markets to step up their commitment to sustainability reporting, and work towards continuous performance improvement.
Enhanced Reporting Practices
Financial institutions are recognizing the need to implement well-controlled information systems and monitor their sustainability initiatives in a way that allows them to report on their progress in a timely, comprehensive and credible manner. Equally importantly, they are beginning to use this information to enhance management decision making.
This may explain why sustainability reporting—which has long been the domain of environmental, health and safety, and even marketing departments—is increasingly coming under the purview of the CFO. This trend is set to expand as rating agencies and investors increasingly incorporate sustainability measures and disclosures in their financial decision-making.
Making this transition to expanded non-traditional management information and public disclosures is no easy task, but there are initiatives that lead the way. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), for instance, provides Financial Services Sector specific guidance for the disclosure of economic, social and environmental information.
To achieve a GRI A level declaration—indicating the highest level of transparency—a financial institution's sustainability report must follow the guidelines set out in the GRI Financial Services Sector Supplement. Financial institutions declaring a "+" after their declaration level must have had the report assured by an independent third party, using a systematic process that allows the assurance provider to draw conclusions on the veracity of the report and its data and claims. Most major Canadian banks declared a GRI C level in their 2009 reports, implying that not all indicators were included nor third party assurance obtained. None have yet achieved A+ level status—the benchmark reporting level established by a select group of their international counterparts.
GRI Reporting Levels: A Sustainability Blind Spot for Financial Services?
The financial sector has taken up the sustainability challenge; offering new "green" products, and financing and occupying LEED-certified buildings. But are these efforts enough to project a "sustainable brand"? Research into GRI reporting across all sectors of Canadian economic sectors shows that multiple Canadian companies are reporting at Level A, while the majority of the Canadian financial sector reports at Level C. Although formal sustainability performance reporting at any level is a sound step toward strengthening stakeholder confidence, higher levels of disclosure would further help financial institutions credibly build their reputations as "sustainable" organizations.
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Financial Services Sector Supplement (FSSS)
The GRI FSSS was created through a multi-stakeholder process which included the broad global participation of industry, academics and NGO's, among others. The FSSS provides additional interpretation of the existing cross-industry GRI G3 guidelines and indicator content, and also introduces a number of new sector-specific performance indicators. The FSSS was created to ensure that sustainability reports produced by financial services companies address all key sector issues.
In the FSSS, the coverage of the G3 guidelines is expanded in the areas of:
Adopting Sustainability Reporting Best Practices
Canadian banks will need to further evolve their approach to sustainability reporting to remain competitive on the global stage. To achieve this goal, financial institutions must:
The Future:
Ultimately, financial institutions that best understand how their operations affect society and in turn work towards building stronger communities, while minimizing their direct and indirect impact on the environment, will be those best positioned to expand their market share in the years to come.

I am hoping someone knows what these critters are! We are just 20 miles east of Salem Or. Every July for about 2 weeks we are infested with these little jumping and flying bugs. We cant sit outside in the evenings as they land and buzz all over your face. They literally hang off the screens and house siding!
We used to think it was because of the many grass seed fields we have nearby, but a friend who lives in Salem said she has them this year too. She had never seen them before. They seem to have about a 2 week life cycle and then they are gone. I have search the internet for info to no avail. Any ideas?? Debbi |
Follow-Up Postings:
We have the same bugs out where we are in Dundee - just west of Newberg. I have no idea what they are though, we're just happy they aren't around the whole entire summer. |
You'll want to give more of a description than that to get an ID. Tiny - like how tiny? 1/2 inch? 1 millimeter? Color? shape - fly shape, leafhopper shape? noticeable features like big eyes or long antennae or grasshopper-like hind legs? Wing color? buzzing sounds? |
Probably leafhoppers. DS's neighbor just harvested his grass-seed fields and said they live there most of the time but after harvest they move into nearby grass/lawn areas. I have them in my yard also but in DS's yard you can't stand outside without them flying into your mouth! |
Here is a link that might be useful: leafhoppers

Yes annz I think you are right, they really sound like leaf hoppers. We are right next to a big grass seed field. They havent harvested it yet, but others in the area have been. Seems like when the field turns from green to yellow is when they invade us. They are tiny, brown and little greenish spots. I havent seen any plant damage, they just annoy more than anything. Now the earwigs are the ones who I seem to have a problem with on the plant damage this year! |

Hi All - I am planning a new kitchen and could use some advice about what brand to use. I am considering either Decora at HD or Schuler at Lowes, or Kraftmaid at either. Any advice is appreciated. Also, if anyone has experience with HD vs. Lowes on the whole experience from planning to installation - which is easier to work with? Thanks so much!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I bought Schuler cabinets from Lowes. I can't compare the quality to the other brands, but I'm very impressed. I haven't had them installed yet. I also received a discount on the cabinets and 10% off during their July 4th sale. |

In an exclusive interview with BattleRap.com, Bigg K spoke on the contemporary topic of ghostwriting in Battle Rap and Hip Hop in general, saying it shouldn't happen anywhere in the industry. The Norfolk, Virginia battler also discussed ghostwriting offers and Battle Rap fans.
On the subject of ghostwriting, Bigg K says fans shouldn't place anger on the ghostwriters themselves, instead they should channel their hate towards the individual paying to have verses ghostwritten.
"The thing about ghostwriting for somebody is even though you might be dope as a muthafucka as a battler, if they find out you ghostwrote for somebody else they may not like you no more," explains Bigg K. "Which is gay because you're still dope. They shouldn't be mad at you, they should be mad at the dude that paid you. But that's just how fans work. If you knew how many of your favorite battlers say shit that didn't even come from them, you might not like the people you like, bro. Some people's favorite rappers don't even write all of their rhymes, bro. So you shouldn't get crucified in fuckin' Battle Rap for it when some of the favorite songs you listen to, they ain't write that shit. I don't believe ghostwriting should occur in Hip Hop, period. It's not ghostwriting when you're a singer, you have the voice or somebody writes you the song, you have the voice for the song. But as far as somebody writing you a verse in Hip Hop — why are you even special enough to be a star if you ain't even writing your own lyrics?"
When asked about ghostwriting offers, Bigg K says he hasn't been offered enough to ghostwrite but admits if the money was right, he would do it.
"Not enough, that's why I don't do it," said Bigg K. "I'd do it for the right amount of money though, I wouldn't tell nobody. So if you're watching this, talk to me [laughs]. It don't make it wack for me, it makes it wack for the person buying the verse, not for me though. I ain't gon' tell nobody. I would charge more to ghostwrite for somebody than for me to battle to be honest with you. It'd have to be worth it."
Finally Bigg K spoke on Battle Rap fans jokingly labeling them as a "different class of human beings" and "low lifes."
"Battle Rap fans are the most low life pieces of shit on this earth. For real," explains Bigg K. "You think I'm bullshitting. It's a different fuckin' class of human beings that watch Battle Rap, bro. These people are low lifes [laughs]. You have no fuckin' idea, man. A battle event just happened yesterday, all the bootlegs are out already… on a porno site [laughs]. Them muthafuckas is crazy."

I posted once before but did not get a clear answer. I need to finish the poured concrete wall that abuts my basement staircase. That particular wall is below my garage I can not imagine it ever having a water issue. The problem is I have no room to frame it out...the stairway is right against it. Actually, I have and inch and a half of clearance. This would be enough to attach furring strips to the concrete, put styrafoam in between and drywall over. I was not sure if its safe to affix those furring strips right to the concrete or if thats looking for trouble. Maybe the sell pt furring strips?
The only other alternative I can think of is glueing 1" xps to the concrete and glueing the drywall to the XPS....would that be secure... Ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Use Wallmate or equivalent. It goes on the wall first with firring at the joints to hold it, adhered with either concrete screws or powder actuated fasteners. Then attach the drywall onto the firring with drywall screws. For video on application. Scroll down to Interior basements and crawlspaces. |
I take it the wall is parallel to the stairs. Hanging the drywall 1/2" over the stringer is fine. |
- Posted by andrelaplume2 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 12, 08 at 21:47
whats a sringer? As you go down the stairs you can run hand along the wall. Can furring strip be attached to the concrete...no mold issue? |
Firring directly attached to the concrete foundation will trap moisture and lead to mould. XPS first, then firring. Typical staircase. Sometimes the stringers will be set back a few inches from the sides; metal staircases can even have a single stringer in the center. |
- Posted by andrelaplume2 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 13, 08 at 22:56
Ok, let me further explain....there is no room to XPS then fur then drywall...looking at the picture above, imagine the right side of the stairs abuts the concrete wall...I need to drywall both above and below the stairs...actually there is 1.25 inches of space between the stringer and concrete wall enough to fur to concrete and then slide a 4 X 8 drywall sheet between...but if furring concrete is no good...how do I do this.... |
So you want to slip the drywall behind the stringer, rather than cut around the stairs, which is a pain and not that neat if you're not a pro. On that wall, use 1/2" or 1" XPS mechanically attached with concrete screws and fender washers. Then finish with 1/4" drywall. |
- Posted by andrelaplume2 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 15, 08 at 14:34
secure the drywall to the xps with glue? |
Attach to the strapping with 1" drywall screws. Glue is not needed. I've seen commercial boarders bond drywall to plaster using Durabond, but I'd leave that to the pros. |

Wait, what strapping. I have enough room to attach furring stips to the concrete and then drywall OR glue 1" XPS and glue 1/4 drywall to that....I only have 1 1/4 inch clearance in total! |
Sorry. Attach to the firring strips. In other words, the firring strips hold the XPS to the concrete and provide anchorage for the drywall screws. |

Not enough room for 1/2" xps, 1X3 fur on top and 3/8" drywall on top of that(or 1/4" if I could find it). Best I can figure is to mount some pt 1X3 furs (if they even sell that) directly to the concrete (Maybe with some of that rolled pink stuff in in between, the stuff usually put under the pt wood that goes on the floor) Mount these strips every 2 feet. But some 1/2" XPX and put in between. Mount the drywal over that. In fact, if I measure right, the drywall would just about run flush into the drywall at the top of the stairs. I shoudl take some pictures. How does that sound? Note this area of concrete wall abuts the back of my garage...all underground, can not imagine water getting in unless it comes from below somehow. |
If there's no space, there's no space. What you suggest is the best you can do. The XPS doesn't stop water intrusion; it prevents condensation on the interior of the foundation wall. |

I kind of figured this. I am now searching for 1 X 3 pt fur strip...have not seen any yet, may have to go with regular. I assume then the benefit of the extra thickness of XPS is mostly geared toward higher R values? |
- Posted by velvetfoot (My Page) on Mon, Jan 26, 09 at 15:01
If you could squeeze in 1" of xps and 1/2" of drywall into that gap and glue it, there's no place it would go if things got hot. Would that be enough restraint? |
- Posted by andrelaplume2 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 26, 09 at 15:30
I don't know what kind of glue would hold the XPS to the wall and the drywall to the XPS. It might move around. The only bad thing about my plan (other than the lack of inuslation) is the wood in contact with the concrete...which is why I want to slip a piece of that foam seal stuff behind the fur strips. |
foam seal stuff behind the fur strips. A piece of 6 mil poly vapour barrier will do. The higher R value will keep the wall warm enough that water vapour doesn't condense on it. |

I've read a few articles looking back on Mitch Williams and his fateful pitch to Joe Carter in the 1993 World Series, but here's something new from the former Phillies reliever after he sat down with the former Jays slugger to talk about their shared moment in history for an upcoming MLB Network special:
According to Williams, the first time he used the slide step while pitching out of the stretch came after Rickey Henderson led off that fateful ninth inning with a walk.
After issuing the leadoff walk to Henderson, a future Hall of Famer, Williams said he was told to use the slide step instead of a high leg kick in order to keep baseball's all-time leading base stealer from stealing second.
Following Henderson, Devon White flew out to left center field. Then another Hall of Famer, Paul Molitor, hit a single to center field, putting runners on first and second with one out and bringing up Carter.
The count was 2 and 2 after Carter chased, but couldn't catch, a slider. Imagine that! Williams then proceeded to shake off catcher Darren Daulton's call for a repeat of the slider, hoping to surprise Carter with a fastball high and away.
According to Carter:
In my mind he had to come back with that pitch. When he shook off that pitch I thought he was messing with me. I felt he had to come with a breaking ball.
According to Williams:
I either wanted to strike him out or get a lazy fly ball where it does no damage. If the ball is up in the zone and it's away from Joe, he can't hit it out of the park. Almost as soon as it left my hands, I knew I made a mistake. I knew if I had gone with my full leg kick and actually rushed because I know how to elevate a fastball and throw a fastball up and away, he either swings through it or he hits a fly-ball out.
Instead, Carter pounded the pitch to left field and the Blue Jays won the World Series for the second time.

As an affordably priced dishwasher that's well designed and offers good performance, the Whirlpool WDT710PAYM is worth a look. Most users say this full-featured unit is exceptionally quiet and cleans beautifully. Many also like that the silverware basket can be positioned in the door, freeing up interior space for more dishes. While there are isolated mechanical and design complaints, most say this is an all-around solid machine for the money.
Cleans well, with no pre-rinsing. Users say one of the best reasons to buy the Whirlpool WDT710PAYM is that it cleans dishes extremely well. Many compare its performance very favorably to past models they've owned, with one user calling its cleaning ability "flawless." The machine is Energy Star rated and gets accolades from users for its energy efficiency. We found a few reports of mechanical breakdowns and problems with the door latch. In addition, some complain about the machine's drying ability, with one user stating that the top rack, in particular, never dries thoroughly. Most say, however, that if you use a drying agent, the drying performance is fine.
Cleverly designed to maximize interior space. Many users say the Whirlpool WDT710PAYM is easy to use, and they applaud its design, particularly noting how the silverware basket can be situated in the door. This feature, they say, frees up interior space for dishes. Nevertheless, there are some complaints with this arrangement, as some find it awkward to unload silverware with the basket in the door, and some say the slots in the basket are too small. The hidden controls draw praise from users, largely because they find the front of the machine more streamlined and attractive that way. However, some say it's hard to know when the cycle is completed, so a front "cycle-over" indicator light would be helpful.
So quiet you may not realize it's running. While other, more expensive machines have lower decibel ratings, users say the Whirlpool WDT710PAYM is extremely quiet. One user comments that it's hard to imagine how it could be any quieter, while another says that even if you're nearby, you may not even realize it's operating. One reviewer adds that you need to be standing right next to this dishwasher to realize that it's on. There are almost no complaints about the WDT710PAYM with regard to noise. Notably, however, one user reports needing to exchange the machine because it was too noisy, but adds that this could have been because it was installed in an island and not against a wall. Upon return, the store personnel were surprised to hear that there was a noise issue, since the machine is generally considered very quiet.
Well priced, with possible rebates. Users say the Whirlpool WDT710PAYM is a reasonably priced machine, particularly when compared with pricier models on the market. The vast majority of users report consistently smooth operation, with relatively few complaints about mechanical breakdowns. Maintenance involves routine cleaning, and the manufacturer recommends using a dishwasher-cleaning tablet, sold separately, once a month. The machine is covered by a one-year parts-and-labor warranty, and we read virtually no comments describing warranty issues. It is energy and water efficient, earning an Energy Star rating as well as a Tier-1 qualification by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE). These ratings potentially make the machine eligible for rebates, depending on whether the local utility offers a rebate program. Some appliance dealers also offer rebates from time to time for specific Whirlpool purchases, and we've seen the WDT710PAYM included in such programs.

Hello all
I just got a new Magnum Research/IWI Baby Desert Eagle (Jericho 941), 9mm full length polymer version, and can find no info on detailed stripping, disassembly, and assembly, nor anything other than very basic info. There was an old thread I found here (2008) and replied to, but hope there may be some more recent info and experience someone may have. The DA trigger pull is long and tortuous (SA is short & smooth). I'm thinking a detailed disassembly and polishing of touching parts would help (many YouTubes on doing this for Glocks) - but I don't want to attempt it without detailed specs or guides. Anyone have any knowledge or info regarding BDEs? Thanks!

Senator Gutu accused of Zanu PF of being in denial – he should look in the mirror!
January 4, 2013 in Uncategorized
Obert Gutu, MDC Senator for Chisipite in an opinion in New Zimbabwe predicts that "change in upon us".
"There is no use being in denial. People don't eat history," he wrote.
Talk of being in denial; Senator you should look in the mirror to see who IS in denial!
Mugabe is a ruthless tyrant; we all know that and the nation does not need a lesson in history to be reminded of that. Yes elections should be about ideas and the electorate freely choosing whoever they believe will best govern the nation and not "a declaration of war" on the people. Mugabe is a ruthless tyrant, we have already agreed, so surely it should not be surprising that a tyrant should consider elections an act of war! Indeed, you wrote about the orgy of violence during the presidential run-off elections of 2008.
Senator, was it not agreed that the three parties in the GNU would implement the agreed democratic reforms and write a new constitution for the sole purpose of ensuring the next elections are free and fair and a true reflection of the democratic will of the people of Zimbabwe.
Senator why after four and half years has not even one of these reforms seen the light of day?
"We should forcefully insist on the levelling of the electoral playing field," argued the Senator. So MDC can "forcefully insist" and have the reforms implemented in four months what it failed to accomplish in four and half years!
Why this GNU wasted four years and nearly US$ 100 million to produce this Copac draft constitution which is so weak and feeble it cannot guarantee even the most basic rights like free elections or the right to life itself!
Senator you and your Leader, PM Tsvangirai and the rest of the MDC leaders failed to key thing the nation expect from you – free and fair elections – but are all in denial and some have even lied that coming elections will be free of the scourge of violence.
You wanted to project yourself as a man of ideas and so will ask you once again: Do you believe the coming elections will be free of political violence? If not, do you believe the elections should still ahead regardless?

MIT Economist Duflo Wins John Bates Clark Award
April 23 (Bloomberg) -- Esther Duflo, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, won the John Bates Clark medal for the economist under the age of 40 who contributed most to the profession.
Duflo, 37, "distinguished herself through definitive contributions to the field of development economics," the American Economic Association said today in a statement. A French citizen, she has used experiments to address questions of politics, gender and education in developing countries such as India and South Africa.
"Her work is of scientific importance but also shows a passion for caring about people," said Kenneth Rogoff, former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund in Washington who is now a professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "She is a profoundly influential figure for young economists."
In one series of papers, Duflo studied the impact of female political leaders in villages in India, finding, among other things, that they shifted spending away from education toward drinking water, the association said.
In other research with Rohini Pande of Harvard that the association said had "generated considerable popular attention," Duflo examined the effects of dam construction on development in India. Their results suggested that the large dams had "marginally positive returns to the entire economy" while increasing poverty and income inequality, it said.
'Flexible Tool'
"What her work has done is to take the idea of field experiments and turn it into an extremely flexible tool to study a range of fundamental economic questions," said Abhijit Banerjee, a fellow professor at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who has done research with Duflo.
He said their work on microfinance had caused a stir after they found that such lending "did not have the kind of transformative impact that has been claimed for it" and that its effects, while favorable, were limited.
Duflo completed her undergraduate studies at L'Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris in 1994, received a master's degree from DELTA in Paris in 1995, and completed a PhD in Economics at MIT in 1999. She is founder and director of the Jameel Poverty Action Lab, a research network specializing in evaluations of social programs.
Past winners of the John Bates Clark award include the late Milton Friedman; New York Times columnist and Princeton University professor Paul Krugman; and Lawrence Summers, who is director of President Barack Obama's National Economic Council. Data compiled by Bloomberg News show that recipients of the medal have a 36 percent chance of eventually winning the Nobel Prize in economics.
The John Bates Clark medal, started in 1947 as a biennial award, is now being awarded annually. It is named after the U.S. economist who died in 1938 after spending most of his career teaching at Columbia University in New York.
Emmanuel Saez, a professor at the University of California in Berkeley, who has done extensive work on income inequality, won the award last year. In work he did with Duflo, they used field experiments to study enrollment in U.S. pension plans.

"Blood Pressure Support" is a proprietary herbal health supplement which uses a combination of several herbs which helps to maintain blood pressure within normal limits. The Major ingredient Rauwolfia Serpentina contains alkaloids that belong to the general class alkaline compounds found in plants.
It is caused by "CLOGGED ARTERIES" which reduce blood flow causing the heart (our blood pump) to work harder and at higher pressure to keep the same amount of blood flowing in restricted arteries. You don't have to have all your arteries restricted, just one or two small blockages almost anywhere in your body can act like a dam, holding back blood flow and increasing blood pressure. Think of it this way, when your arteries are open and clean, your blood pressure is low and you feel healthy.
High Blood pressure is often the first warning sign you experience; then the other symptoms of heart disease follow with chest and arm pain, tightness in the chest, numbness of the extremities, shortness of breath, and low energy.
Sometimes you don't get those warnings. Forty percent of the people that experience first time heart attacks are unaware they had a problem. It's like being shot by a sniper without warning. When a heart attack happens its too late and those forty percent are gone.
Tylophora Cardifolia is one of the main ingredients in "Blood Pressure Support". The plant contains an alkaloid Bramhine, which provides strength and tone to the heart. It also helps to eliminate excess urea reserve in the blood and neutralizes bile faster.
Rauwolfia Serpentina, Tylophora Cardifolia, Zedoaria, Terminalia Chebula, Emblica Officinalis, Terminalia belerica, Cinnamomum iners, Myrtus Caryophyllus, Zingiber Officinalis, Piper Longum, Piper Nigrum, Embelia Ribes.

Enjoy the game, everyone!
I thought I'd share just a few more thoughts on Sunday's victory in Oakland. I usually stay with the offensive lines right now, but there were a number of things that really deserved to be looked at after the Broncos took it to the Raiders right in their own home. I'll start with a reference from one of the OL pieces that the plays Denver ran were also part of - the Zone-Read running game of Wisconsin.
Alvarez is the Athletic Director at the University of Wisconsin. I quoted some of his work a few weeks ago and mentioned him again earlier today - he took over as the head coach of the Badgers in 1990 and was trying to figure out his offensive direction when he, much like Denver coach John Fox, decided to put the onus of the team's offense on the running game. Why? It wasn't a preference one way or the other for a certain type of attack, although Fox has been rightfully accused of that. It was simply a matter of logic meeting necessity. Alvarez and his coordinators and position coaches met and talked it out. They all came to the same conclusion that Denver did, unusual though it is in the modern game. Alvarez explains:
Continue reading "Thursday Musings: More on the Zone Read; a complete victory"
After bearing up through the first two weeks of Tim Tebow struggling as Denver's starting quarterback, Sunday's game was a grand change. It was the first time I've seen the Broncos play like a complete team in a long time. It was good to see, and I can't wait to see how much they can hold up to it consistently - they were able to put all the pieces together and despite Oakland's protests that they expected it, it clearly caught their players off guard on the field. Stellar performances by the OL, Willis McGahee and Tebow, as well as a couple of nice catches by Eric Decker and an outstanding performance for Eddie Royal (with a tie-breaking punt return TD and a TD reception) rounded off a resounding route of the much-disliked (okay, hated) division rival.
The best part of the entire game was to see each aspect of the team (offense, defense, and special teams - even with that punting mishap near the end zone) contribute greatly to the final outcome. Without any one of them coming through on the right plays, the game goes down as a loss. With all three working together, the Raiders did not seem to know what hit them. It was by far Tebow's best all-around performance to date and Denver's best game of the season.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Andrew Brandt points out that the deadline has passed for teams to extend players' contracts and confine the financial impact to the 2011 salary cap. This means it's likely Denver will allow Eddie Royal, Daniel Fells, Marcus Thomas, Brodrick Bunkley, Wesley Woodyard, Mario Haggan, Joe Mays, and Matt Prater become free agents, among others (not that it's a shock). Based upon their respective roles, age and what interest they'd likely command on the open market (not much, frankly), I'd say the only one I'd like to have seen locked up would be Prater - and Denver can always franchise the guy if they're unable to reach agreement with him after the season. Then again, the team is still able to work on a new deal with any of these players until the day before the season finale, and Denver has plenty of cap room - so any guaranteed money would be prorated over the length of the contract rather than assigned to the 2011 cap.
Obviously it'd be nice to hang onto most, if not all of those other guys, but the question is at what cost and rather than which potential draft/FA replacements? Even if Denver were interested in keeping Royal, it's safe to presume he'll want to test the FA waters to find a situation where he can start instead of potentially being stuck behind Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas in a run-first (and second) offense. The question to consider is whether there will be better, cheaper and/or younger options available in the offseason, and the only resounding "no" in that regard is Prater.
Lost in the Tim Tebow debate this year has been the upswing on the defensive side of the ball.
The Broncos have yet to become the defense they really want to be. That much is clear. Yet they are no longer last in the league in yards allowed per game (22nd).
Much of this incremental upswing can be attributed to Von Miller and the signing of Brodrick Bunkley. However, I believe the signing of defensive coordinator Dennis Allen--along with his aggressive style and 4-3 scheme--has been a big factor. We all thought Allen would create more pressure on the quarterback. It turns out Broncos fans were correct in that assumption.
Today I'd like to look at some of the tools that Allen uses against the pass to get the most out of a defense that was one of the worst in Broncos history only a year ago.
Continue reading "The Playbook Abides - The Dennis Allen Files"
Good Morning, Broncos fans! In his weekly film review, Andy Benoit is stunned that Oakland didn't spy Tim Tebow as much as Miami had, and he's baffled that the Raiders were so ill-prepared for Denver's zone read when considering the Broncos' lack of offensive diversity. Yes, Tebow & Co. had a few big pass plays including the two scores, but if 113 net yards on 23 attempts + sacks were enough to keep a defense honest, the whole league would be showing a 60/40 run/pass split every week. Seriously. It will be an outright shock if any Denver opponent going forward does not truly sell out to stop the run and keep Tebow in the pocket; doesn't mean it'll work or that the Broncos won't be able to win any more games in Sunday's manner (presumably Tebow will make at least some plays through the air, and hopefully the defense plays better than it has been), but don't expect other teams to be so hapless in defending the zone read.
Benoit also blames personnel for Oakland's problems (the absence of LB Rolando McClain), and on the other side of the ball, Benoit thinks the injury to C Samson Satele and their typical slew of penalties are what caused the Oakland rushing offense to go from gashing Denver early to struggling later. Benoit saw Dennis Allen's use of Von Miller as an inside blitzer as a great new wrinkle and isn't yet buying the notion that the real Elvis Dumervil is quite back.
Happy Victory Tuesday, friends. I hope you're ready for a Serving, because I've got one for you. I'm in last place in the picks competition, and a primary reason why is that I'm now 2-6 in picking Broncos games. (I had them losing to Green Bay, and beating Miami.) You can't win them all, I guess, and I just don't seem to have a great feel for when the Broncos are going to play well. Maybe if I read the DP rather than Doug's parsing of their work, I might know if they "had a good week of practice."
Anyway, today we're going to explore in detail why the Broncos beat the Raiders on Sunday. It was a total team win, as has been said, but more than that, I would say that it was the first time this season that the offense pulled its weight. Aside from a couple of missed throws by Tim Tebow and some penalties (I'm looking at you, Ryan Clady) it was a consistent and productive effort. Since offense is kind of my thing, I'm excited to spend some time talking about it. Ready… BEGIN!!
Good Morning, Broncos fans! In his latest mailbag, Mike Klis says he doesn't know how far the zone-read can take Denver, but it's the best offense for Tim Tebow to be running at this point. Plus, he thinks the Broncos will clearly be targeting a top cornerback and defensive tackle in next year's draft, along with of course a quarterback and a running back. Klis thinks Denver will try to hang onto Brodrick Bunkley, who is a free agent after this season, along with Marcus Thomas.
As for quarterbacks, Klis also says that the new rookie pay scale could make a big trade up in the draft to get one to be more palatable, as the cost is more about the picks being dealt away rather than a huge chunk of guaranteed money as in the past. He thinks that unless Miami has the #1 pick, Denver will have a chance to trade up to select Andrew Luck.

Ted: Yeah, it seems like it. I was at a Browns watch party a little while ago, and they had a couple of other bad games on too. Hopefully this game is more interesting
Doc: I saw a headline to the extent that Cleveland is getting tired of Hillis and might even let him go. Any truth, or just media pandering?
Ted: It's been the word on the DL around here all season
Doug: Lombardi says part of Denver trading him was because of the same stuff
Ted: The thing about White Boy Day is that eventually tomorrow comes. He's a good player who does a couple things well and a couple poorly - that's been my take all the way

Pulled Pork Sliders
Kate Mathis
Provided by: Taste Editors
These delicious sliders are good to make when you want to serve something a bit more substantial then appetizers for a party. You'll need time for the pork to marinate in a dry rubovernight is bestand time for slow cooking, so plan ahead. For the barbecue sauce, you can make your own, or use your favorite commercial brand. Many barbecue lovers feel that beer goes best with barbecue, but slightly chilled rioja or Barbera taste might fine with pulled pork, too.
Recipe from Wine Bites by Barbara Scott-Goodman/Chronicle Books, 2011.
Recipe from Wine Bites by Barbara Scott-Goodman/Chronicle Books, 2011.
- 1 pork roast (3 to 4 lb), preferably pork shoulder or Boston butt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- freshly ground pepper
- 1 tbsp corn oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
- 3/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- dash of hot-pepper sauce
- 16 slider rolls or 8 hamburger rolls, split
- Pat the pork dry and brush with the olive oil.
- To make the dry rub, in a small bowl, stir together the paprika, salt, sugars, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, and black pepper to taste. Rub the dry rub all over the pork, wrap in plastic wrap, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C/gas 2. Put the pork on a rack in a large roasting pan/tray and roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 170°F/80°C, about 6 hours.
- To make the barbecue sauce: Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup/tomato sauce, vinegar, brown sugar/demerara sugar, chili powder, mustard, and hot-pepper sauce and stir to mix well. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors blend, 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
- Remove the pork roast from the oven and transfer to a cutting board or large platter. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes. "Pull" the pork apart with 2 forks to form shreds and transfer to a large bowl. Add the sauce to the shredded pork.
- To serve, spoon the pulled pork onto the bottom halves of the slider or hamburger rolls, dividing it evenly. Replace the tops of the buns; if using regular hamburger rolls, cut each sandwich in half. Serve at once.

.- The secretary of the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerant Peoples, an outspoken proponent for the rights of people "on the move," has retired. Having celebrated his 70th birthday on Saturday, Archbishop Agostino Marchetto was eligible for an "early" exit.
Archbishop Marchetto, known for his vocal critiques of world governments which "criminalize" immigrants, took advantage of the Vatican norm which allows retirement for members of the the diplomatic corps at 70 years old. Although it has not yet been announced officially, the news is public knowledge around the Vatican.
Vatican officials normally retire upon completion of their 75th year, but, as he told SIR news, the decision was made a year ago when he submitted his resignation papers anticipating last week's birthday.
He said that he felt it was a "reasonable" request considering the 20 years he spent in Africa, during which time he came down with a serious illness.
Archbishop Marchetto was the Apostolic Nuncio to Madagascar and Mauritius, then, later to Tanzania. He also carried out the same service in Belarus and worked in the Holy See's secretariat of state before becoming the secretary of the council for migrants.
Thanking the Pope for accepting his resignation, Archbishop Marchetto said he is "pleased" to be able to now devote his energies to studying the Second Vatican Council, "a subject I love and that is so important for the Church."
Vatican sources close to the archbishop told CNA that he always saw issues in black and white. Unafraid to speak out against what he saw as injustice, he approached the position in an "upright" manner and with a true attitude of service to the Church.

Not a fan of this. I added more vegs. and an extra clove of garlic. This did not cook as quickly as recipe stated. I liked the tang from the cranberry sauce on the vegs while hubby disliked the whole dish. I think this would have been better using round steak cut into thin strips.
