Good day everyone, We just bought a house in Northwest OH (built 1990). I have been reading a lot about crawl space encapsulation on various internet sites recently. It seems like something that would be beneficial and that I could do myself. So I was looking around down in the crawl space yesterday just to get some ideas on how I would proceed, and I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a footing under my roughly 3' high crawl space walls. I can reach under it quite easily with my hand (there was some loose fiberglass insulation that had fallen down in there). Also, it looks like there is a 2x6 or 2x8 under the wall. I am new to crawl spaces, so I really don't know what to think of this. Shouldn't something be holding the crawl space wall up? Why wood anyone put a wood board under the concrete wall? Should I fill this space in with gravel? Is it actually a poured concrete wall or some cheaper alternative? Thank you for your help. |

That looks like a lentil, with the fill dirt collapsed to me. See the horizontal piece? Can't tell if it's metal or wood. |

Ha, must have been hungry. Seriously though, I have two lintel's-one in the foundation side at the beginning of each crawl space-which are metal. That's how I recognized the posters. Thanks for correction Worthy; I actually enjoy making lentil soup. |

Sounds like I may be in the same boat as you Sparkling Water. The area in the above photo is at the beginning of my crawl space as well. I have not had time to get in there to see how far the wood extends along the wall (hopefully tomorrow - wife taking kids to in-laws - yay!). I just moved in a week ago, so I have not seen the effect of a major rain on that area of the crawl, although I will say the soil (clay) was wet underneath the wall. Thanks for the help guys! |

I was doing some research online and saw this image. This may be in relation to what we are dealing with. It seems like the idea is not to extend the crawl footing to the basement wall for whatever reason. |

So it's a crawl under a porch and is not continuous with the foundation wall of the house except for a piece of wood? A properly built crawl space is typically just a short version of a full foundation. And you don't leave out blocks (or a section of pour) in either. |

Thats a great picture, ShadyAcres. Does that fit in with your space, or is your lintel farther down to the foundation end as your photo seems to imply? I don't imagine you can build an addition with cinderblocks abutting cinder blocks as you'd leave a space between. So my guess is they used the lintel for bridge and support. |

ShadyAcres, as to that wood, I'm flummoxed too why anyone would use it in a crawlspace. Have you gone in (with proper protection of course and visual inspection first to determine safety of space) to physically check it out? I see the brown wood, but am I seeing a darker, narrower possibly metal under the wood too? |
Anyway, this area is a source of water entry.Any ideas what to do? Water or moisture? At the least, a crawl with finished space above should have a ground cover. At best, a concrete floor with an appropriate drainage system. I don't imagine you can build an addition with cinderblocks abutting cinder blocks... It's done all the time, though you have to tie in the two. But starting a new foundation a foot away and using a lintel--let alone a wood beam(!)--to connect the two is a new one on me. |

Thanks again Worthy for your help here. It was actually water that, with a recent very heavy rain, pooled in a low ground spot. Thanks for letting me know you can tie in block additions. |

ShadyAcres, when you put your hand under that lintel, what did you eventually touch? An outer wall? You also said you found some insulation. This might apply to you. I've found a bit of information on wall cavities and lintels between inner and outer walls used to damp proof spaces. "Insulating cavities and lintels Wall cavities are much more than just gaps in a wall. This article explains what's in a typical cavity. If your house was built after 1920, you probably have wall cavities between the outer and inner walls of the house. Originally, the wall cavity became widespread as a way to prevent damp in the house. More recently, it has also provided a place for more insulation to be added to the house." (see link for more). Do you mind if I tag along with you on this thread? I don't want to high jack it you know. |

Where I put my hand under the wall was just soil. Dry dirt towards the inside of the crawl wall and damp soil underneath and towards the exterior. Hijack away, I still have not had time to get in there and inspect further. If it is some sort of lintel system, I most likely will fill the void up with either gravel or concrete. Having the wood beam under the wall (there is no metal beam) is obviously not ideal but I guess the only thing I can do at this point is try to keep the area surrounding it as dry as possible. If I see the wood beam around the entire crawl(below my family room), I will be much more concerned. Thanks for the responses. |
The cavity wall refers to above grade walls, not to foundations. If the wood is actually supporting the foundation wall, it will rot away eventually. At the least, it needs to be supported and separated from the damp soil beneath. If the entire foundation is resting on wood, eventually it will destabilize the wall. Perhaps we are not getting the whole picture, as it would be unusual to see this on a relatively new home subject to building inspections. DIY additions after the fact, nothing surprises me. |

I got into the crawl today. Took some of the fiberglass insulation off of the walls and tried to see how far the wood beam extended. It looks like it extends for about 3 ft from the entrance of the crawl (exterior wall). I did dig down after that 3 ft and found a footer. Why it does not extend to the partial basement I have no idea. The wood is damp, but has held up well considering it has been 24 years. It seems like there would be enough support (considering it is only a three foot span, to remove all the surrounding dirt and replace with gravel and perhaps some sort of crude water removal system. |

A quick and easy recipe for potato soup that I have made in our restaurant 100's of times. It is a customer favourite!
- 1To start, peel your potatoes and put them into a pot to boil. Put a medium to large soup pot on the stove on medium-low heat (around number 4 on an electric stove). First, put in your butter and let it melt a little. Now add your garlic, white onion and fresh parsley. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes. Now add your chopped celery, bay leaves and white wine. Again, let it simmer for a few minutes. Now add your pre-cooked bacon bits, or chopped ham. I will be posting this recipe on Rachel Ray's blog, so check out her site too!
- 1After that has simmered for about 5 minutes, season with a little salt and pepper and then add your chicken stock. Turn the heat up to about 7 to get the mixture boiling. Once it has come to a slow boil, add your cream and stir it in well. Take your potatoes out of the water and add those to the soup. Take 4 cups of the water that the potatoes had boiled in, and stir that into the soup well. Now, let the entire mixture simmer/slow boil for about 1 hour.
- 1Last, stir in the green onion and thicken your soup with a 'rue' if necessary. Let the soup simmer on low heat for at least 15 minutes, then serve with a garnish of shredded cheddar cheese. Don't forget to check out www.tixxie.com for more great recipes!

Vitamin E is a very important part of our daily diet.

They are much more than simple food additives, however, and they offer many health benefits. Tocopherols have been used to improve eye function, cardiovascular health and to neutralize the damaging free radicals in our body.

In Hinduism, a brief aphoristic composition; in Buddhism, a more extended exposition of a subject and the basic form of the scripture of both Theravada and Mahayana traditions. Since the early Indian philosophers did not work with written texts at all, and later philosophers often disdained them, there was a need for very brief explanatory works that could be committed to memory. The earliest sutras were expositions of ritual procedures, but their use spread, and eventually nearly all Indian philosophical systems had their own sutras. See also Avatamsaka-sutra, Diamond Sutra, Lotus Sutra, Tripitaka.

1.4.3 Summary The process toward European unification was initiated by top political elites in France, Italy, Germany and the Benelux countries after the Second World War. New collective actors are progressively being engaged in European affairs, among them the Labour movement, regional movements and new social movements such as the environmentalism of groups like Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. European elites, although engaged in
1.3.2 Summary The shifting character of European geographical boundaries is illustrated by Turkey and the other twelve countries from Central and Eastern Europe which are currently negotiating access to the EU. The boundaries of Europe change depending on whether Europe is defined in terms of institutional structures, historical geography or observed patterns of social, economic and political interaction.
1.2.1 The role of the Eurobarometer In 1973 the Directorate of Information of the European Commission instituted a survey of public opinion amongst the members of the EEC. So now, twice a year, a sample of about 1,000 people from each country are interviewed on topics related to European integration and EU policy and institutions. This survey of public opinion is usually referred to as Eurobarometer. The reports are initially published by the Commission in French and English, though they are subsequently made available i
1.12.1 Contestation and power The metaphors of 'discursive space' and 'argumentative texture' bring a number of points to our attention. First, we can note the emphasis on contestation. There is usually in social life a struggle over how things are to be understood and for that reason it makes sense to talk of a politics of representation. Second, power is at issue here. Social scientists who study discourse have been interested in how people, groups and institutions mobilize meanings. How have some
1.9.2 To sum up Such an analysis reinforces the notion of discourse as a form of work or labour. It also implies a strategic speaker. But, again, is this the case? Are speakers strategic in this way or just doing what comes naturally? It can suggest, too, a duplicity in Diana's actions. Potter is not implying this, however. Rather, as knowledgeable speakers and competent members of discursive communities, we are all, like Diana, skilled in a range of methods for accomplishing different activities such as sta
1.5.1 The co-production of meaning The third sense in which discourse is a social action refers to the origins of meanings. Meaning emerges from complex social and historical processes. It is conventional and normative. We have some idea what it signifies to say Prince Charles is a proud man because we are members of a speaking community and culture which has agreed associations for 'proud man'. We draw on those to make sense. Meaning is also relational. Proud signifies as it does because of the existence of other t
1.6.1 Introduction Of course, there is another problem hovering in the background in respect to the Euro's international role: namely that of the enlargement of the EU. In the light of the analysis so far two areas are picked out here: monetary implications and fiscal policy implications. These are obviously closely related. Both of these raise questions about the costs involved for the new members and those set to join somewhere down the line. We concentrate on the monetary issue of joining the Euro-zone first
1.5.4 Summary The Euro has become an important currency of denomination for government and corporate bonds. There is now emerging a two-currency world, made up of the US dollar and the EU Euro. The advantages to countries of being able to borrow internationally in their own currencies have not been lost to them, so there will be an incentive for the east-Asian countries to develop their own 'regional' financial markets.
6.1 'Maybe you can look, but you cannot touch': asylum and restricting access to welfa So far we have considered meanings of citizenship in terms of legal status, national identity and belonging. In this section we want to explore it in terms of 'access to welfare', recognising that people who flee from their country of origin are likely to require assistance and support when they arrive. There is a long history of the state linking controls on access to welfare and control of migration since the 1905 Aliens Act (Lewis, 2003). 4.1 The context and significance of the historical moments under consideration The two historical moments we are considering were not chosen arbitrarily; they are both significant times in the overall history of people seeking asylum in the UK. Some important relationships between them give us a starting point for looking at continuities and discontinuities in both policy and experience. Firstly, Lotte and Wolja were admitted to the UK under the 1905 Aliens Act. This was the first fully implemented legal attempt to control the entry of 'foreigners' into the UK Acknowledgements Except for third party materials and otherwise stated (see terms and conditions), this content is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Licence Grateful acknowledgement is made to the following sources for permission to reproduce material in this unit: 6.1 The complexities of a multifaceted Europe If the 'Europe of the Regions' model is also ruled out – at least in its stronger versions which suggest that nation states are being replaced – the interesting question remains: how will significantly enhanced regionalisms relate to other 'possible Europes'? These include the traditional 'nation state' and 'Federal Europe' models, both of which also reflect some continuing elements of reality, but in addition a 'Europe' of cities, of cultures, of national and ethnic m 2.2 Diversity between states To attempt more precise definitions would run the risk of arbitrarily excluding many of the phenomena we need to address. In fact the intentionally loose, multifaceted nature of these definitions reflects the reality of regional diversity, which has many dimensions. The differences start with the states which in practical political terms largely define regions, for they are themselves very different in area and population size, in economic strength, in cultural homogeneity or heterogeneity, a 10.3 Further study The resources within this unit have covered a wide range of subject areas including education, environment, technology, history, law, literature, politics, social care and social sciences.

Just why a Scots laird at the turn of the seventeenth century should have thus devoted the energies left over from the management of his estates remains a puzzle.

The disaster came towards the end of a period of intense development of the railway system in the UK. The bridge had materials that were well known: cast iron was used for the columns and wrought iron for the trussed girders. The construction of the bridge was, at the time, the largest single engineering project in Britain, the Tay estuary being about two miles wide near Dundee, and the bridge was the longe 2.1 Overview The Scottish education system is distinctive and has a long independent history.

BANDUNG, Indonesia - At least six people are known to have perished and more than 60 are believed to be buried inside their homes in a village near the Indonesian city of Bandung.
Local residents dug with their hands and farm tools to recover the bodies of victims buried in the thick mud.
Heavy downpours forced rescue workers to abandon their work overnight, but they resumed their efforts, aided by bulldozers, at daylight.
Some 600 residents have been evacuated as authorities monitor the area for additional mudslides.
"The landslide is very deep," West Java police spokesman Dade Ahmad said. "At this point, the chance of pulling out victims alive is slim."

wo i don't even play blitzcrank but i must have aperture science blitzcrank
1. A robot may not miss a rocket grab, or through inaction, allow a rocket grab opportunity to be missed.
2. A robot must obey the orders of his summoner, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws or involve using Flash.
the skins are supposed to be <skin name> + " " + <champion name>... people not familiar with blitzcrank will think that his real name is iBlitzcrank, possibly thinking "he totally doesn't have a skin" :s

I think you guys did so well with this skin although when i look at blitzcrank in game it reminds me of the robots off of the movie I,Robots. This brings to the conclusion that i think that when blitzcrank begins to fight he shoukd turn red like the robots do in the movie. Thanks for reading hopefully you will take this into consideration.
so im not exactly sure what the deal is but ever since the mac servers came out ive been having problems with league idk if its the macs fault but it certainly looks like it....neways ive dced consistently during random games and most recently i cant even load in saying that its a firewall right after i got out of a different game...and in neither case was my internet down plz fix this problem im tired of being forced to abandon my friends in games we started together right after playing a game with them
last hit u maybe

Nurses celebrate aged care overhaul
By Karen Keast |
Last Updated: 19-11-2013
Australian Nursing Federation federal secretary Lee Thomas Australia's aged care nurses and workers are celebrating after the Federal Government unveiled a 10-year plan to reshape the aged care sector, including a $1.2 billion injection to tackle critical workforce shortages. Prime Minister Julia Gillard has announced a $3.7 billion plan to overhaul the beleaguered sector, with $1.2 billion to be spent on attracting, retaining and training aged care workers. A Workforce Compact between the government, unions and aged care providers will also be established to guarantee that aged care workers receive competitive wages. The Australian Nursing Federation has applauded the reforms. ANF federal secretary Lee Thomas said the announcement was a victory for low paid nursing and aged care staff. Ms Thomas said the funds would go towards higher wages, better career structures, improved training and education and workforce planning. "This is the largest investment in Australia's aged care workforce and is a significant victory for the sector's underpaid nursing and care staff," she said. "We are confident this extra funding will now assist in closing the wages gap for aged care workers and results in more nurses being attracted and retained in the sector. "Currently, nurses in aged care are being paid between $168 and $300 a week less than their colleagues in public hospitals – with a critical shortage of 20,000 nurses." Under the reforms, the number of home care packages will be increased from 59,876 to 99,669, there will be more payment choice and a cap on care costs, along with an increase in residential aged care places from 191,522 to 221,103. Other highlights of the Living Longer Living Better plan include $1.9 billion to deliver better access to aged care services, $80.2 million to improve aged care linkages with the health system, $54.8 million to support carers, $268.4 million to tackle the nation's dementia epidemic and $192 million to support the diverse care of Australia's ageing population. A new My Aged Care website and national call centre will also be established next year, in a bid to develop an online integrated information and assessment entry point into the sector. as

My propane ran out about 5 minutes after I added the bittering hops. So the wort was hot, but not boiling for an extra 30 minutes. I reset my timer to 1 hour after it reached boil again. Will there be any noticeable effects? Tinseth and Rager return the same IBU's for a 90 min boil. Recipe: Batch size 5.5 gal Boil volume 6.5 gal BG 1.042 OG 1.050 6# Whole Wheat malt 4# German Pilsner malt single decocation mash 1 oz MtHood 4.2% 60 Min 1 oz MtHood 4.2% 10 Min 20 IBU 1 qt starter of WLP300 Thanks in advance for your help.
I would guess that you'll probably be fine. Afterall, the bittering hops that you added technically only boiled for about 5 minutes. Go your yourself a spare tank, son!
Veritas vos Liberabit
I always have two 30 lb spares on hand. Owning a travel trailer does have advantages...
The extra time below boil is kind of like first wort hopping, so not a bad thing unless you were not wanting anything too hoppy. +1 on the spare tank though.
Cheers, BP -------------------------------Fermenter 1: Best bitter (1) Fermenter 2: Best bitter (2) Fermenter 3: APA Fermenter 4: APA
Interrupted boil, premature hop utilization, pulling your pot off early.... Bummer man. A spare tank is a must if starting a brew on a light one.
Cheers, EdWortHaus Pale Ale, Bavarian Hefeweizen, Robust Porter, Oktoberfest Ale, Wounded Knee IPA, Rye IPA, BCB IPA, Kolsch, Apfelwein
i found a pretty neat valve that you can attach between the tank and burner that shows the amount of gas left in tank. It is reminescent of a gas tank meter. found it at target, if that helps. it at least provides peace of mind seeing as i can tell when it is getting low! brandon
The difference in utilization for 90 minutes vs 60 minutes would mean 10% higher IBU. In this case, 22 vs 20. Undetectable.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk

OpenKatana is an upcoming first-person action game loosely based on the infamous Daikatana; a game that was designed by non other than John Romero. A re-imagining that hopes to produce something that will not only be something new, but something that we feel will be closer to Romero's original vision. OpenKatana hopes to not only fix issues present in Daikatana's design but to also expand upon it to give you an incredibly fun experience in both multi-player and single-player.
Personally I didn't take it but I thought it was worthy to upload since I felt that it being a photograph made it a little more... Mysterious?
If it's a big issue then I'll upload a better image later if I can but I can't promise anything since it's still being worked on.
It was late at night and I was working on my laptop, with no internet connection or other transfer methods - so I took the picture with my phone and sent it around (can happen at times...)
it looks really good, is the gun going to be seperate from the base?
Yup! The gun (or "head") is seperate from the base and rotates relative to its target position :)

Missy Wombat's Note:
Something a bit different! Black rice or black sticky rice can usually be found in Asian or Indian stores.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 500 g black rice
- 250 g raw sugar
- 2 liters water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 4 -5 cardamom pods
- 2 -3 cloves
- coconut cream, to taste
- 1If you don't have a pressure cooker, soak the rice for 24 hours before cooking.
- 2Heat the water and rice in a pot and as the water gets hot, add the sugar. Stir until dissolved.
- 3Break up the cinnamon, crush the cardamom and cloves with a mortar and pestle. Place the spices in a piece of gauze or muslin and form a bag by closing it with a piece of cotton.
- 4Pressure cooking method: Submerge the spice bag in the mixture and pressure cook for about 30 minutes.
- 5When the pressure has come down, open the pot and stir any sedimented rice into suspension and then allow to simmer for about 15 minutes without a lid and with regular stirring on a low flame. This will form a syrup.
- 6While simmeing occasionally press the spice bag against the pot wall so that more of the spice essence is released.
- 7Mix well and serve or use a measuring jug to transfer the rice to storage containers.
- 8Simmering method: Note the level of the water in the pot after you have dissolved the sugar and added the spice bag. You will probably need to simmer for at least 90 minutes so occasionally top up the water and stir well.
- 9Serve hot with a topping of coconut cream.

As mentioned earlier, efforts are needed to address safer practices for workers. Farm workers typically do not know when or what pesticides have been applied to fields, so they must rely on their employers to protect them from hazardous exposure. Because some employers might not follow WPS regulations, funds should be assigned to develop pesticide formulations that contain specific odors or dyes that would provide farm workers with direct information on the presence of hazardous pesticide residues.
Tools are available that allow inexpensive monitoring of worker exposure to pesticides and monitoring of the pharmacokinetics of compounds at concentrations commensurate with actual environmental exposures. These tools should be used.
It is clear from the committee's study that the general public has a critical function in determining the future role of pesticides in US agriculture. Consumer interest in food and other goods perceived as safe and healthy fuels the rapid growth of the organic-food market; at the same time, consumer use of pesticides in the home and on the lawn continues to grow (Chapter 2). Many of the paradoxical decisions made by the voting and consuming public arise from a relatively poor grasp of the science behind crop protection (Chapter 3).
The public sector has responsibility for providing education and information. Publicly supported education at all levels is essential for facilitating equality of opportunity. The working of a democracy and the efficiency of the market are infeasible without an educated public. Availability of information is essential for efficient resource allocation. Because knowledge also has public-good properties, a major responsibility of the public sector is to provide basic knowledge and information for decision-makers, in both the public and private sectors (Ruttan 1980).
Education in scientific and technical fields is designed to meet anticipated demands in the private and public sectors. As long as there is a demand for pesticide-based solutions to pest-control problems, the education system has to train people to work in this field and to provide independent pesticide expertise in the public sector. Because we agree that pest-control choices have to be determined in the context of a perspective that incorporates biophysical, ecological, and economic considerations, education should emphasis basic principles and knowledge that will lead to informed decisions. Schultz (1975) emphasized the value of a good understanding of basic principles in a modern economy. He argued that people with a solid general education in the principles of science

Organic chemistry is a chemistry subdiscipline involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. Study of structure includes using spectroscopy and other physical and chemical methods to determine the chemical composition and constitution of organic compounds and materials. Study of properties includes both physical properties and chemical properties, and uses similar methods as well as methods to evaluate chemical reactivity, with the aim to understand the behavior of the organic matter in its pure form (when possible), but also in solutions, mixtures, and fabricated forms. The study of organic reactions includes both their preparation—by synthesis or by other means—as well as their subsequent reactivities, both in the laboratory and via theoretical (in silico) study.
The range of chemicals studied in organic chemistry include hydrocarbons, compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, as well as compositions based on carbon but containing other elements. Organic chemistry overlaps with many areas including medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, organometallic chemistry, and polymer chemistry, as well as many aspects of materials science.
A general anaesthetic (or anesthetic, see spelling differences) is a drug that has the ability to bring about a reversible loss of consciousness. Anesthesiologists administer these drugs to induce or maintain general anaesthesia to facilitate surgery. Some of these drugs are also used in lower dosages for pain management. The biological mechanism(s) of the action of general anaesthetics are not well understood.
Janssen Pharmaceutica is a pharmaceutical company headquartered in Beerse, Belgium. It was established in 1953 by Paul Janssen with the aim of conducting pharmacological research. The company's stated aim is the continuous development of better drugs to improve quality of life.
In 1961 Janssen Pharmaceutica was purchased by the American corporation Johnson & Johnson, and is now part of Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Developmen (J&J PRD), which conducts research and development activities related to a wide range of human medical disorders, including mental illness, neurological disorders, anaesthesia and analgesia, gastrointestinal disorders, fungal infection, allergies and cancer. Janssen and Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical have been placed in the Ortho-McNeil-Janssen group within Johnson & Johnson. Its Chairman and Managing Director is the baron Ajit Shetty.
A transdermal analgesic or pain relief patch is a medicated adhesive patch used to relieve minor to severe pain.

Swing into Spring
Spring is in the air and it's time to grab your golf bag and hit the links! The early season is underway with Sun Valley's scenic, challenging courses now awaiting your tee. On Friday, golfers made for the greens taking their first swings of the year under sunny spring skies on the back nine of the Trail Creek Course, as well as on the chipping green and putting green. The back nine on the Elkhorn course, which is semi-private, also opened Friday.
Exciting things are underway on the fairways under the leadership of new Director of Golf Operations Tyler Jones who plans to make this the best season yet on Sun Valley's courses. He brings with him more than 15 years of experience managing successful golf operations in California and Washington. Most recently, he was General Manager at the Olympia Country & Golf Club in Olympia, Washington. He has also acted as General Manager for the prestigious Palouse Ridge Golf Club in Pullman, Washington, and brings to the job experience as interim CEO for the Northern California Golf Association, the largest regional golf association in the U.S.
But Tyler loves Sun Valley. As a child, he spent many seasons in Sun Valley with his grandparents and learned to ski on Dollar Mountain when he was six years old. As a hospitality graduate from Washington State, he first worked in the Resort's Food & Beverage division starting in 1992. But golf called to him and from 1994 to 1996, he worked as First Assistant Professional under the legendary Rick Hickman who only recently retired. Tyler said he is absolutely delighted to be back. He and his family are excited to relocate to the valley and Tyler has a lot of great ideas to make one of Sun Valley's best recreational options, even better.
"Sun Valley has been a very special place for my family for over 50 years and we are thrilled to be joining the Sun Valley team. I am very much looking forward to the opportunity of carrying on the tradition of offering the highest levels of hospitality and world class amenities that Sun Valley Resort is known for," Tyler said. "The season is starting on a great note. Conditions are very encouraging, the greens are in good condition and golfers are excited."
This PGA professional has assumed responsibility for full operation of Sun Valley's 45 holes of golf: the 18-hold Trail Creek Golf Course, the 9-hole White Clouds Golf Course and the 18-hole Elkhorn Golf Course. The Trail Creek Championship Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., boasts 6,968 yards, surrounded by jaw dropping views. The White Clouds Course provides a perfect complement with 3,600 yards available for play and 360-degree views of the entire Wood River Valley. Golfing at Elkhorn provides 7,214 yards of beautiful undulating greens, more than 100 sand traps and bunkers.
After a day on the links, the Sun Valley Club provides a gracious gathering place for golfers as well as the public, offering a full-service restaurant, bar, locker rooms, club storage, club rental and a well-stocked pro shop. There is no better place to enjoy an afternoon libation and snack than on the restaurant's terrace.
Both group and private lessons are available by calling 208-622-2251 and don't forget the popular Sawtooth Putting Course and virtual golf facility. Both can enhance your game or just provide a few hours of fun.
For extra incentive, book the Early Birdie Resort special from Friday, April 18 through June 8, 2014.This special deal offers one night's lodging and one round of golf (including cart) for only $124 per person, double occupancy. Please call 800-786-8259 for reservations. And don't forget to ski and tee through Bald Mountain's closing day, Sunday, April 20.
Golf Digest called Sun Valley "One of the top 75 resort golf courses in North America." Come find out why.

Gordon, Sandra
Whether you're curled up with a good book or running to catch a plane, your heart works hard for you—a healthy one beats 100,000 times and pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood each day. To help it do its job and keep it healthy, take stock of the fat in your diet.
Conventional wisdom once held that the heart-healthiest diets were practically fat-free. But that notion has changed in recent years. Today, a more moderate approach prevails. "A diet that's lower in fat protects against heart disease," says Kristie J. Lancaster, Ph.D., R.D., associate professor of nutrition at New York University in New York City. In other words, you need some fat in your diet. In fact, up to 35 percent of your daily calories can come from fat and still qualify as a heart-healthy diet, especially if it's the type of fat that helps reduce the risk of heart disease. The fat you consume can strongly affect the cholesterol in your blood and the tendency for plaque to build up in your arteries over the long run, more so than the amount of fat you eat.
Considering that plenty of not-so-healthy options are just a drive-thru away, though, we could all use a little inspiration and guidance. To beat heart disease, use these fat strategies to put up a food fight.
To help keep your arteries clear, steer clear of saturated fat. It's solid at room temperature and is typically found in animal products such as beef, veal, lamb, pork, lard, poultry fat, butter, cream, milk, cheese and other dairy products made from whole or 2 percent milk. Limit trans fat, too, which is processed vegetable oil to which hydrogen (hydrogenation) has been added to make it more solid and give it a longer shelf life. Commercially prepared fried foods and baked goods and other processed foods are often loaded with saturated fat, trans fat and calories, which can contribute to weight gain and increase your risk for heart disease.
Both of these "bad" fats raise your body's level of total and "bad" low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, cholesterol. When too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up on the walls of arteries feeding your heart and brain, forming thick, hard plaque deposits that can narrow arteries and make them less flexible. This is called atherosclerosis, which can lead to coronary heart disease and stroke. Trans fat also lowers "good" high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, cholesterol, making it doubly bad for your heart. HDL cholesterol may reduce plaque buildup by ushering excess cholesterol from cells and artery walls back to the liver, where it's passed from the body.
Cook with "good" fats. Put olive, canola, corn or safflower oil on your grocery list. These unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and come from plants. Use them instead of saturated and trans fats like butter, shortening, lard and hard stick margarine in cooking and baking. Unsaturated fats don't raise LDL cholesterol and may even help lower it if you also eat less trans and saturated fat. According to the results of a study recently published in the medical journal Lipids, people who replaced some of the saturated fat in their diet with polyunsaturated fat—a type of unsaturated fat found in soybean, corn and safflower oil as well as in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, herring and trout—reduced their risk of coronary heart disease by about 10 percent.
Use healthier spreads. Use liquid margarine or soft tub margarine instead of butter or hard stick margarine on your morning toast. Liquid/soft margarine is made with less hydrogenated fat than hard stick margarine. The best margarine choices contain "0 g trans fat" on the Nutrition Facts label. If you can't stand the thought of a bagel or toast without butter, "just spread a very thin layer," Lancaster says.
Avoid fried foods and ready-made baked goods, such as French fries, doughnuts, pastries, cookies and crackers. These high-fat foods are typically made with shortening or partially hydrogenated oils; such trans fats may account for up to 50 percent of the fat they contain. Saturated fat may make up the rest. Instead, look for processed foods made with non-hydrogenated oil such as canola or olive oil and 0 grams of trans fat. For easy ways to read food labels and spot the fats you need—and avoid the ones you don't—visit heartinsight.com to read our online bonus article, "Label Lingo: Deciphering % Daily Value." But keep in mind that many foods that are high in trans fat, such as fast food, don't have labels.
Remember that less is more. Because fat is calorie dense—1 gram of fat packs 9 calories compared to just 4 calories for a gram of protein or carbohydrate—it adds up fast. Good fats have just as many calories as bad fats (120 calories per tablespoon), so go easy to avoid weight gain. Too much fat, especially around your mid-section, increases your risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. That's why substitution is so important; you want to add healthful fats to your diet while subtracting not-so-healthful ones to keep your daily calorie intake on an even keel.
Choose lean meat. Pick skinless poultry and look for little to no marbling on red meat. Trim all visible fat from meat before cooking. Consider eating a meatless meal at least once a week.
Wondering how to know which foods are heart healthy without spending hours reading every nutrition label? The Heart-Check mark makes it easy to spot heart-healthy foods in the grocery store or when dining out. Simply look for the name of the American Heart Association along with our familiar red heart with a white check mark on the package or menu. But not all red hearts you see are from the American Heart Association; look for the AHA name to be sure. When you spot the American Heart Association's Heart-Check mark, you'll instantly know the food has been certified to meet our guidelines for a heart-healthy food. It's a good first step in creating an overall sensible eating plan. For more information, visit heartcheckmark.org.
Fish, especially cold-water fish like salmon, albacore tuna, mackerel and herring, are rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids, which are a type of unsaturated fat, are amazing multi-taskers because they simultaneously combat several heart disease risk factors. They help reduce the rate of plaque buildup, decrease triglycerides and slightly lower blood pressure. Foods such as soybeans, walnuts and flaxseed also contain omega-3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends eating two 3-ounce fish meals per week. A six-ounce serving of salmon, herring or tuna provides a gram or more of healthy omega-3s.
Add an easy-to-make fish like salmon to your weekly menu. (Sorry, deep-fried fish fillets don't count.) If you're new at cooking fish, try this basic preparation: Rub fish with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and bake at 400° F until opaque throughout, about 15 to 20 minutes. In general, eating heart-healthy isn't about making drastic change all at once. It's a growing process: Once you find a fish recipe you like that's easy to prepare, add another. And so on.
While it's true that dietary cholesterol, or cholesterol that comes from food, doesn't affect your blood cholesterol as much as saturated and trans fats can, the dietary cholesterol in egg yolks can add up. A typical yolk contains 185 milligrams of dietary cholesterol. This is about 62 percent of the daily limit of 300 milligrams, and it may contribute to high levels of LDL in your body. Still, an egg can be heart healthy if your LDL cholesterol is normal and you limit cholesterol from other sources, such as meat, poultry and dairy products. In which case, "Having a couple of eggs a week isn't going to hurt," Lancaster says. If you already have high cholesterol, however, try to eat less than 200 mg of dietary cholesterol daily.
Work in more whites. If you're an egg lover or cook with eggs often, keep your dietary cholesterol intake low by using just the egg whites or opting for commercially prepared egg substitutes whenever possible. In baking, replace each whole egg with two egg whites and a tablespoon of canola or safflower oil to moisten the texture.
While you're making healthier choices to reduce saturated and trans fat and subbing in unsaturated fat, load half your plate with fruits and vegetables, which help reduce the risk of heart disease. The AHA recommends eating at least 4½ cups of fruit and vegetables each day. Filling half your plate with produce ensures that you're getting lots of the good stuff, like heart-healthy antioxidants and fiber, while crowding out meat and other sources of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol.
Sneak 'em in. Can't seem to find room in your diet for a whole orange or an extra serving of green beans? Add fruits and vegetables to foods you already eat. Top off your morning cereal or yogurt with fruit. Add pureed fruit to homemade breads, cakes and cookies. Add vegetables to sauces, stews, meatloaf, pizza and soup. Store cut-up vegetables and fruit at eye level in the fridge so they're the first thing everyone sees when you open the door.
Raise the salad bar. A trip to the salad bar is a convenient way to come close to or even meet your daily produce quota in one meal. But watch out for salad dressing—a sneaky source of saturated fat. Sprinkle on a little oil-based salad dressing like Italian on salads instead of creamy types like Ranch and blue cheese. At home, make your own vinaigrette with olive or canola oil and a flavorful vinegar. Nuts and seeds are high in heart-healthy unsaturated fat, so go ahead and sprinkle some on your salad.
For more ideas on cooking with the right fats, check out the AHA's Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook. It features more than 200 easy-to-prepare dishes and contains the latest information on the role of trans and saturated fat (including nutritional values for every recipe). It's available at your local bookstore or on amazon.com.

No picture for TV tuner (WMC) or Cyberlink PowerDVD 7..
Hello. I am still having issues with Windows 7. When I try to use my TV tuners in WMC I only have a black screen with audio. When using Cyberlink PowerDVD 7 to play Blu Rays and HD DVDs, the screen is green with audio. I'd like to note that both of these programs work perfect in Vista 32 bit (and I've tested the TV tuner in Vista 64 bit and it worked). Here is my setup..
Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) AMD Phenom II X4 940 XFX Radeon 4890 Hauppage HVR-1800 (tv tuner) Hauppage 950-Q (tv tuner) All of my drivers are updated (I've tried the drivers from the official site as well as the ones that Windows 7 pushes out). I've googled this problem many times but never seem to find anything that works for me. As far as the TV tuners go I am 100% positive they work, I moved the USB 950-Q to my laptop running Vista Home 64 bit and it works fine. I do not have any 3rd party codecs installed at all. I have tried 3rd party codecs but when this didnt work I did a clean install of W7 to make sure they didn't leave anything that would interfere and cause problems. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! |

Do the cards work OK using Hauppage's WinTV app?

17 Dec 2009 | #3 |
Unfortunately I am unable to try the WinTV software. When I do the install it asks for my WinTV CD. I put in the CD but it won't accept it. I did try plugging the 950Q (usb) into my other computer running W7 (using a Nvidia card) and it does work. There must a compatibility issue with my Radeon 4890 and the TV Tuner. I've installed the latest drivers but this doesn't resolve the issue.

Here is a link to the software download page.
Support for WinTV v7 Click on the annotated button, and download the software... Try using this! Feel free to post back for more help, and if this solution worked for you. Hope this helps, Extensa |

Hello unfortunately when using that download it requires a WIN TV cd to be inserted. I have tried the disc from my HVR-1800 as well as the one from my 950Q and neither will work. I think the solution to this problem is selling my Radeon 4890. I can get my TV tuner to work fine in my other computer (running a Nvidia card). I also found that in PowerDVD if I turn off graphics accelaration (ATI Avivo) it will play regular DVDs (not Blu Rays). As soon as the accelaration is turned on I get the green screen again. I have the official drivers from ATI (12/17) and it still won't work. I even did a clean install of W7 to make sure the old drivers weren't interfering. Any suggestions for a comparible Nvidia card?
My System Specs |
19 Dec 2009 | #6 |
The problem was with the Radeon 4890 card. I took it out and plugged an HDMI cable into my onboard video (Radeon HD 3300) and both PowerDVD and WMC work. The picture quality is in 4:3 and low in WMC but this is how it was in Vista too. I wonder if I have a defective card (4890) or if this was a driver issue?

BlackRock Kelso Capital Corporation Generates Net Investment Income Adjusted For Pro-Forma Incentive Management Fees Of $0.27 Per Share And $1.08 Per Share For The Three Months And Year Ended December 31, 2012
Given the current market conditions and our focus on capital preservation, we continued to be very selective during the quarter, resisting transactions where deal structures were weak, leverage was too high and returns were not adequate to compensate for risk. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we invested $317.1 million across six new and several existing portfolio companies. This compares to investing $401.5 million across twelve new and several existing portfolio companies for the year ended December 31, 2011. Sales, repayments and other exits of investment principal totaled $314.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, versus $249.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2011. In conjunction with the early repayments of certain of our investments throughout 2012, we recognized $14.6 million in fees and prepayment penalties.
At December 31, 2012, our portfolio consisted of 47 portfolio companies and was invested 52% in senior secured loans, 18% in senior secured notes 16% in unsecured or subordinated debt securities, 13% in equity investments, and 1% in cash and cash equivalents. Our average portfolio company investment at amortized cost, excluding investments below $5.0 million, was approximately $26.9 million at December 31, 2012 versus $24.0 million at the end of the prior year.
The weighted average yields of the debt and income producing equity securities in our portfolio at their current cost basis were 12.2% at December 31, 2012 and 11.9% at December 31, 2011. The weighted average yields on our senior secured loans and other debt securities at their current cost basis were 11.4% and 13.5%, respectively, at December 31, 2012, versus 12.0% and 11.4% at December 31, 2011. Yields exclude common equity investments, preferred equity investments with no stated dividend rate, short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents. In certain of our portfolio companies, we hold equity positions ranging from minority interests to majority stakes, which we expect will contribute to our investment returns over time.

Milton Katselas
Director, Producer, Performer
Feb 22, 1933 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA ) Male
Milton Katselas was a prominent acting teacher and director whose students included George Clooney, Alec Baldwin, Michelle Pfeiffer, Gene Hackman, Anne Archer, Kate Hudson, Kim Cattrall, Chris Noth, Tyne Daly, Jenna Elfman, Robert Urich, Patrick Swayze, Tom Selleck and Tony Danza.
He was only 24 when he started to teach acting in New York after observing a class that failed to impress him and a friend convinced him he could do better. "When I teach, my job is to bring out whatever is possible," Katselas said in 1998 in Buzz magazine. "It's not my job to push the ejector seat on somebody's dreams."
In Pittsburgh, Katselas studied theater at what is now Carnegie Mellon University. After graduating in the 1950s, he went to New York, "scared stiff" about breaking into theater, he later said, and studied with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio. Eventually, Katselas apprenticed with Kazan and worked for other noted theater directors.
Katselas began his directing career in the 1960s with the American premiere of the Broadway play "The Zoo Story" by Edward Albee. On Broadway, Katselas also directed "The Rose Tattoo" in 1966 and "Camino Real" in 1970. Also in 1970, Katselas was nominated for a Tony Award for directing the Broadway debut of "Butterflies Are Free" and came to Hollywood to direct the 1972 film version -- and stayed.
He returned East in 1983 to direct "Private Lives" with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton but left the show before it reached New York.
Locally, he directed theatrical productions of "The Seagull," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Streamers" and several films, including "40 Carats" (1973) with Liv Ullman, and "When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder" (1979).
As a teacher, he was known to impart practical advice, which was reflected in his 1996 best-selling self-help book, "Dreams Into Action: Getting What You Want." This month, the text he used for decades to teach was released as the book "Acting Class: Take a Seat." The Saturday before his death, he taught his last acting class.
