I am replacing my whole system and have received multiple quotes. The two best are Bryant and Rheem: Both systems are priced at $9000 USD Bryant #987MA60080V21 (78k BTU) fully modulating 97% efficient gas fired forced air furnace with an ECM blower motor Rheem #RGFG09ERS (90k BTU) modulating 95% gas furnace On consumer reports, the Bryant rates 8% (fewer repairs) compared to Rheem at 10%, plus the Bryant efficiency is better for the furnace. The Rheem installer told me he may "throw in" a new AprilAir powered humidifier worth $500 but I may be able to use my older model already in place so it is a wash. Which system is better? |

Tomlin I like both these brands depending mainly on the models selected. Bryant is sister company to Carrier and basically all models across their product lines are identical. And I have said many times that Rheem/Rudd are one of the most overlooked and underrated brands in the residential marketplace. Solid equipment not always cutting edge. Several questions. What is your location? To the quotes. Several differences stand out. The Bryant furnace s more efficient than the Rheem furnace. Between the quotes, I would have to give the Bryant the clear edge. Are any rebates applicable? The winter heating season is about half over and Bryant normally offers a nice rebate on a premium system like they have quoted beginning in April. If this was my home and there was not an immediate need, I would wait. I also would probably drop the HW filter for a similar Bryant model. I would not pay any up charge however. Post back. IMO |
Tigerdunes, thanks for the post - I appreciate your help. We are in PA - near Philly. We currently have a York furnace builder grade 80% but is very sick so we may be getting 60% at best now. The AC is also york but I do not know the seer. My house is 1900 sq/ft The house is 20 years old and the insulation is good but we have some cold spots. We did not get a load calculation by ANY of the 6 quotes we got. I would have gone with the Bryant because it has the highest efficiency and best reliability, but when I checked the exact models of everything I found that my current York is rated at 95k btu and the unit I was quoted was only 78k btu. When I asked him about it, he said I was getting mixing up the input and output BTU. Because my current York is only 80% the 95k * 85% = 76k btu OUTPUT ďż˝ that may be the same output at maximum, but it sounds fishy to me. Should I ask for bigger? Are these good prices? |
The contractor should do a heating and cooling load calculation in order to determine the sizes. A furnace size of 80K BTU for house your size near Philly would be reasonable. Who told you your current furnace is only 60% efficient? Contractors typically will tell potential customers there furnace is terribly inefficient and they should replace it immediately. The Carrier/Bryant rebates usually start in March. The Evolution system typically gets an $1100 rebate. But the contractor normally pays for half the rebate, so you may not see the full rebate reduction in the quote. I would not get the electrostatic air filter unless you have a real health need. They can become a maintenance issue. I think the Evolution condenser uses a sturdier exterior shell. It also will qualify for a larger rebate. |

Tomlin Definitely no higher than the 80 K Bryant. You might could go with the 60 K model. Probably does not matter alot, but if you want to know and are concerned about your operating costs, then insist on a load calculation at your design temps both inside and out for cooling and heating. I like HW products as well but the last Honeywell filter cabinet I saw looked very light duty. That's why I suggested the Bryant. It probably is made by a third party which is typical. I would expect it to be superior to IMO |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Sat, Feb 9, 13 at 16:27
Pricing varies between locations and markets-can be due to business/tax environment, unions, competitive forces at work, dealers' business model and size. With that said, I woulvelave expected the Rheem quote to be less expensive than the Bryant. Oversizing by dealers still is very prevalent because they are too lazy to perform load calc. I would hold on for about 6-8 wks and see what rebate or incentive Bryant gives to their dealers. Understand these rebates and incentives can vary from year to year and are for Bryant dealers who choose to participate in the program. IMO |

Agree with all the points tiger has made above. As for the media filter question, I'll give my opinion that the Honeywell is fine if the Bryant isn't cheaper (it should be -- haven't dealt with Carrier recently, but at least in the past the filter cabinet was shipped with the furnace and would fit just about any generic 4" filter. That may not be the case anymore -- but it should be a cheap accessory item. I have the Honeywell F100 on my system and was actually surprised at how heavy duty it was -- takes some force to get the front door off. Perhaps he saw an older model and they weren't as good in the past -- who knows. Another nice thing about waiting until April is it may make the cost of the upgrade to a 2-stage air conditioner or even heat pump (while downgrading the furnace to an 80% in a dual fuel application) more than reasonable. Something to consider. Multistage equipment works exceptionally well on the Infinity/Evolution interface. |

OK - now I have a BIG problem I think the main fan on my York went out yesterday. The furnace still kicks on occasionally the gas jets fire and the the exhaust motor is still working. The does not seem to be any danger - i have a carbon monoxide detector next to the furnace that does not show anything and it has been out for a day and we did not notice it. The bottom floor of the house seems warm enough - because the furnace still fires and the heat seem to rise by natural convection. But some of the bedrooms in my upstairs are getting cold. Should I throw the emergency switch to turn off the furnace completely or can I wait a few more days until I decide which system to buy? Should I get someone to fix the motor so I can wait for the rebates? I assume the total cost of the motor plus the service is less than the total rebates. is it possible that one of the people looking at the furnace accidentally did something so the motor is now dead? The motor has been getting VERY noisy for weeks so it probably just died, but it is an interesting that it happened now - is this something I may be able to band-aid? |
SO i did a little more investigation and think I should just keep the furnace OFF I opened up the blower compartment and the fan in the squirrel case rotates freely. I was looking for a reset button but could not find it but I noticed the electric motor was hot. It is below the gas so i do not think it was hot from that but because it is trying to turn the fan but can not. When I turn on the furnace and open the blower door, the furnace shuts off again because of a safety switch - when I bypass the switch, the fan in the squirrel cage is no longer easy to rotate - the motor itself seems to be the problem. Is there a way I could clean it or something to make it move again? In any case, because the electric motor was getting hot, I will have to keep the furnace off and that will mean the house will get cold and my options are now very limited unless I can fix the motor itself |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Sun, Feb 10, 13 at 7:04
If this Is main blower motor, then this will not be an inexpensive repair and certainly not worth it as long as you are certain you plan on replacing system. You may want the Bryant dealer to take a look. Sorry for your trouble. Let us know what they find and your decision. IMO |
Thanks for all the help. I checked inside the blower area again and found out the main circuit blew (see Pic). I am lucky it did not start a fire. I will not try to fix this and just get a new furnace. I will do the Bryant because it seems like the best system for the same price. I will update on how the install goes. |

ALL ARE JUST UNDER $4000.00 hARD TO CHOOSE . I AM SINGLE WITH AN Alzheimer MOM...NEED SOMETHING DEPENDABLE. I HAVE READ LOTS OF PEOPLE , LIKE ME, HAD A 35 YEARS OLD SYSTEM WHICH WORKED WITH NO PROBLEM AND SUDDENLY THEY BUY A NEW SYSTEM AND IT BECOMES A NIGHTMARE. SO THANKS FOR THE HELP. |

Kid made a very bad choice
Posted 26 April 2011 - 08:53 PM
Posted 26 April 2011 - 08:55 PM
Where did it come out that he didn't have the "skin" to make it at NCSU? Is that just NCSU BS or is there some truth to it?
The guy was all over social media crying about how people were "hating" on him. He even wrote a letter to pack pride saying that he didnt appreciate how the fans talk, IT IS A MESSAGE BOARD. the kid is full of boy estrogen.
To all my Wolfpack fans, I want to say thank you for all the support and faith that y'all have in Lorenzo and I. We are very excited to be coming to such a highly-regarded school. Lorenzo and I have talked about playing basketball at NC State together and with the rest of the players that will be there for a long time. We are looking to come in and make the team better by the hard work we put in before practice, during practice, and after. We have winner mentalities and hopefully that will rub off on the players that are in a slump this season.
Me personally, I have always been excited about coming to NC State ever since coach Monte Towe and Coach Lowe walked into my high school gym my freshman year. Coach Lowe believed in me when a lot of coaches thought I didn't have what it takes. Sad on those coaches behalf haha. Now I am what I am and I'm sticking beside Coach Lowe because of the loyalty he showed me. I feel if a person treats you with that much respect and has that much faith, then I must show that same courtesy back.
Myself and Lorenzo are on NC State's blogs and forums everyday and we look to see all the support you give us, but now a days we see so much negative and it has become really discomforting to my godbrother and I. The things that are said about the fans giving up and not wanting to show the support like I know y'all can. I was at the Duke game. Our fans can get crazy lol. Those statements matter to me. I came to the school at first solely for Coach Lowe but when I come to see games and people are greeting me, saying " thank you so much for joining us", it made me realize I love the atmosphere too. These fans can get better. I hate going on the forums reading those things.
Also Lorenzo and I see the statements about coach Lowe and it really makes me think, "what am I getting myself into". Coach Lowe works hard and is very passionate about the game. He just needs people and players around him like Lorenzo, Luke, C.J., and me to transpire that fire onto the court. Every bad game we cannot criticize coach Lowe. It comes down to the players performing on the court. I know Coach Lowe is going to help my game and make me the best point guard I can be. But it will come in time.
The 2010 class will be a great one, especially adding to the players that's already at the school. We will get better as the year goes on. But y'all have to remember, even though I think myself and Lorenzo are two of the best guards out there in the nation, we are coming into a new experience so we have to learn a little first. So if we don't get the results y'all want right away, plz don't give up on supporting the team and don't say we need to fire the coach. We are going to be a great team and one of the best teams to come through NC State. It just takes time. I hope Lorenzo and I have not offended anybody and would hope that y'all understand where we are coming from. My family and Lorenzo's family are Wolfpack until we die now, but we need support and comfort. Thank you and Go STATE!

do you have a quote from Hodge?Apparently his family is really involved with his career and the fact that he cried to his mom about fans etc pissed some people off. From what I heard he was going to transfer even if Sid Lowe was retained so that tells you something right there. I doubted the whole "thick skin" thing until I heard that (thought that he was pissed about Lowe but apparently that's not the case). The kid really just couldn't take the criticism. I wish him the best but a thin skinned PG is the last thing I want...Really disappointed because I thought that he would be a great four year PG for us along with Lorenzo. Sounds like Zo will be running point for us and probably playing about 30 mins per game.

Weekend in San Francisco
Posted Jan 20, 2015Had a two night stay in the Scarlet. Very nice hotel with good location on Nob Hill. Felt it was just as nice as the Fairmount (only a block away) but much less expensive. The room was great and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Many restaurants near by and a small grocery store all with in a few blocks. Only had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, which was expensive but good. The breakfast menu was limited, only offering the basics at about 20 dollars a person, but that is what things cost in hotels. Used the spa area which is really nice and relaxing. The exercise room is small with two treadmills, stair stepper, bike and some free weights. The relaxing spa area makes up for the limited exercise room. Overall would stay there again anytime.

Indubbiamente, considerando la vicinanza ad altri Hotels di lusso, significa che la location era buona, ma se volete stare realmente al centro di San Francisco, se non avete la macchina e non volete andare in Taxi, scegliete altro, magari verso i centri commerciali in centro.

I had just driven 400 miles and needed a quiet place to crash for the night. But I wanted somewhere refined and elegant, and the Scarlet Huntington was perfect. Easy check-in at 6 p.m., and the room was great. Plenty of space, with a very comfortable bed, and a decent work table with lots of outlets for all my laptops/phones/tablets to charge. The bathroom was equally well-appointed, and I liked the fact that the windows actually opened to let some fresh air in! It's a drag that hotels still charge for wi-fi these days instead of including it in the price, but I guess there are still some folks who don't want to pay for it, so it's not a deal breaker to me. The wi-fi was a little slow though. Room service was fast, albeit a rather limited menu. I did enjoy the club sandwich, so no complaints there. I went down to the Big 4 for a drink (or two) and enjoyed the classy, clubby atmosphere, along with some nice piano playing. Very relaxing, although not exactly a young crowd. But for me, for that night, it was just what I wanted.

Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
The obvious story tonight will be the Twins attempting to avoid 100 losses in their season finale, but it also could be the final night in a Minnesota uniform for Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel, Joe Nathan and Matt Capps.
Cuddyer, Kubel and Capps are pending free agents. The Twins hold a $12.5 million option for Nathan, but they can exercise a $2 million buyout.
Kubel has a sore left foot and probably won't play. But it'll be interesting to see what kind of reception the others get tonight. There have been some emotional tributes over the years, like when Paul O'Neill went to the plate for the final time at Yankee Stadium during the 2001 World Series, with The Who's "Baba O'Reilly" blaring over the speakers.
"Teenage wasteland!"
It takes a savvy crowd to pull it off, but when Cuddyer comes up for his final at-bat, or if Nathan gets a save chance, it would be cool to see a memorable Minnesota tribute.
Note: The Royals have named Rick Knapp their new minor-league pitching coordinator. Knapp was the Twins' minor-league pitching coordinator from 1997-2008 and left to become the Tigers pitching coach. The Tigers fired him in July, and he made inquiries about returning to the Twins before joining the Royals.
Update: Denard Span said he feels a little shaken up today after jarring himself on that collision into the center field wall Tuesday. He's not in the lineup tonight, but he said he's taking a lot of positive away from his last few games, and so are the Twins.

Jackson JL et al. – Botulinum toxin A compared with placebo was associated with a small to modest benefit for chronic daily headaches and chronic migraines but was not associated with fewer episodic migraine or chronic tension–type headaches per month.
Methods- A search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, bibliographies of published systematic reviews, and the Cochrane trial registries between 1966 and March 15, 2012.
- Inclusion and exclusion criteria of each study were reviewed.
- Headaches were categorized as episodic (<15 headaches per month) or chronic (≥15 headaches per month) migraine and episodic or chronic daily or tension headaches.
- Randomized controlled trials comparing botulinum toxin A with placebo or other interventions for headaches among adults.
- Data were ed and quality assessed independently by 2 reviewers.
- Outcomes were pooled using a random–effects model.
- Pooled analyses suggested that botulinum toxin A was associated with fewer headaches per month among patients with chronic daily headaches (1115 patients, –2.06 headaches per month; 95% CI, –3.56 to –0.56; 3 studies) and among patients with chronic migraine headaches (n = 1508, –2.30 headaches per month; 95% CI, –3.66 to –0.94; 5 studies).
- There was no significant association between use of botulinum toxin A and reduction in the number of episodic migraine (n = 1838, 0.05 headaches per month; 95% CI, –0.26 to 0.36; 9 studies) or chronic tension–type headaches (n = 675, –1.43 headaches per month; 95% CI, –3.13 to 0.27; 7 studies).
- In single trials, botulinum toxin A was not associated with fewer migraine headaches per month vs valproate (standardized mean difference [SMD], –0.20; 95% CI, –0.91 to 0.31), topiramate (SMD, 0.20; 95% CI, –0.36 to 0.76), or amitriptyline (SMD, 0.29; 95% CI, –0.17 to 0.76).
- Botulinum toxin A was associated with fewer chronic tension–type headaches per month vs methylprednisolone injections (SMD, –2.5; 95% CI, –3.5 to –1.5).
- Compared with placebo, botulinum toxin A was associated with a greater frequency of blepharoptosis, skin tightness, paresthesias, neck stiffness, muscle weakness, and neck pain.

I am writing in response to a writing in the title…Professor Samatar: Ready to build a nation by Jafar M, on harowo. com, August 23.
Ahmed's dwindles from Mogadishu to Hargeisa is a true character of a man with no political or life principles. If at all, he believed in anything, he could have kept it steady and unchanged but he proved to be without principle, without political direction and most importantly without the least knowledge of the Somali history, neither in the North nor the in the South. This man's recent ideological drags from whirls to woes is a waclear portrait of what a forecasted about two years ago in my writing as follows…..
I recently heard a jumble of meaningless words released on Boramanews.com on April 14, 2012 by Ahmed Ismail Samatar. In the first place, the decision to publish such a drivel by some media circles is as unnecessary as it is harmful to the ears and emotions of many. Such discussions only raise more controversies among many already confused Somalis and their political opportunist elite.
Ahmed, as many people have already realized, is a political opportunist who is looking for a position in anywhere in united Somalia, in Somalilalnd, in Puntland, or in Mudugland. His incoherent verbiage or utterances in the last few years, if lumped togother, indicate that his mind is up for sale. Not only for sale but for cheap sale.
For many years, the media-styled professor was a proponent for greater Somalia. That was how he first acquired a false image that put him in the media cirles. In recent developments, the man's mind changes like a leaf in the wind and without direction and reasoning at all.
In this last interview, he presents himself as a man who did not follow what was going in the country which he said he adovocated for its unity for a long time. He said Somaliland is a democratic peaceful system. He is also sided with the separatist agenda of the Somaliland clan against Awdal state and Khatumo.
This means that he does not kow that Somaliland is a program designed by one tribe. Ninety five per cent of the whole system… the Guurti, the Cabinet, the judicial systems, the security forces and the financical systems are run by one tribe. Is that democracy or domination of one tribe? Whoever denies that is a liar.
Moreover, Somaliland is not peacful but as lawless as any part of Somalia and in some cases it may be worse. It is the only place where peaceful travellers where stopped in public roads, killed mercilessly and their bodies mutilated. It is the only place where innocent sleeping people were cut in peices with ax. It is the only place where the killer beasts enjoy safety in the oppressive tribal administration's safe haven.
It is the only place where pregnat women like Ruqiya Mire were beaten and kicked until the assailants aborted the helpless woman's fetus. It happened because Ruqiya had the Somali flag in her home. It is the only place where a young school boy was shot dead becasue he held up the blue Somali flag in protest of separatist.
Khatumo and Awdal people are even denied to claim their somali identity. Ahmed has to answer whether that is peace and stability and if that is democracy. He doesnt care and he doesnt know what is going but it is easy for him to sit and talk in search for his political agenda. Ahmed is looking for something where there is none at the expense of the suffering of his own people. On what moral grounds is the question in the minds of the Awdal elite.
Awdal and Khamtumo States declared themselves as parts of united of Somalia. They raised the blue flag high with pride, while Somaliland is run by a separatist clan who want to break Somalis in different tribal evil and hate systems. Awdal and khatumo want to keep Somalis as one nation.
in denouncing the legitimacy and the rights of Awdal and other people in that country, Ahmed sided with the so-called Somalilander separatists against nationalist Awdal and Khatumo.
A man of principle is an individual whose life adhears to and is conditioned to human values and morals and follows such convictions to their full. According to human laws and rules for right conduct, the moral principle is a guide.
Psychologists define Narcissism as self-involved attitudes and behavior where there is little or no empathy for others. Narcissism can be an inflated ego sub part or the trait can take over the personality. Narcissistic attitudes and behavior come from the ego defenses that function as smoke screens to hide the deep shame.
Narcissistic attitudes also belive that self image is distorted with the narcissistic point of view and the person believes that he is superior to others. An inflated self-esteem is a defense to cover up their sense of shame deep within. Grandiosity is an insidious error in thinking that prevents them from blaming themselves and becoming depressed or disintegrated. What is also known is that creeping narcissism in a person is when succumbs to the gradual demands of selfishness and entitlement by giving in to "I am special" beliefs.
I am originally from Hargiesa but pride with centuries of Awdal civilization as my roots. At the end of the civil of the war, I could not stay in Hargeisa, my birth place and moved to Borama. I pride with my people in Awdal and that background of Hargeisa but, in his interviews, I often hear Ahmed distancing himself from Awdal, saying " I am from Gabiley". Let me tell him that Awdalians are the most educated, sophisticated and civilised people of Somalia. They see the shame in his shirt but he doesn't.
Awdalians have hundreds of university professors, political scientists and respected leaders. They can their business well in anywhere without Ahmed. can he do them a favour and stop that smears around the meaningless Somali media circles. Education doesnt mean to graduate from university but it is to understand the different dimensions of life and that is what Ahmed lacks.
The man only got the chance of talking to the various media cirlces. They enlist certain individuals and they never change their list when it comes to African and Asian affairs. He worked for the BBC for a long time and that was how he first went through. If these monopolised outlets of media circles call him, he should not think that he is MR. KNOW ALL. They are only lazy to reach out for other people.
In today's Somali leadership, we dont need narcissistic leaders who run for their persoanl gains. We need leaders with vision, who can learn from the past mistakes and who can lead their people through the 21st century with courage and confidence.

Long-term use of HU210 adversely affects spermatogenesis in rats by modulating the endocannabinoid system.

Abstract | Recent societal acceptance of cannabinoids as recreational and therapeutic drugs has posed a potential hazard to male reproductive health. Mammals have a highly sophisticated endogenous cannabinoid (ECS) system that regulates male (and female) reproduction and exo-cannabinoids may influence it adversely. Therefore it is imperative to determine their effects on male reproduction so that men can make informed choices as to their use. Here, an animal model was used to administer HU210, a synthetic analogue of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and potent cannabinoid receptor (CB) agonist to determine its effects on reproductive organ weights, spermatogenesis, testicular histology and sperm motility. Its effects on the physiological endocannabinoid system were also investigated. Spermatogenesis was markedly impaired with reductions in total sperm count after 2 weeks of exposure. Spermatogenic efficiency was depleted, and Sertoli cell number decreased as exposure time increased with seminiferous tubules showing germ cell depletion developing into atrophy in some cases. Sperm motility was also adversely affected with marked reductions from 2 weeks on. HU210 also acted on the sperm's endocannabinoid system. Long-term use of exo-cannabinoids has adverse effects on both spermatogenesis and sperm function. These findings highlight the urgent need for studies evaluating the fertility potential of male recreational drug users. HU210, a selective agonist for CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors impairs spermatogenesis and sperm motility and deregulates the endocannabinoid system. |

Christmas Is Canceled At The Sheraton Koh Samui, It'll Now Open March 2015
Sometimes there�s no such thing as too much of a good thing. At least, so think Starwood, who are on track to open a Sheraton in Koh Samui. It will join their current roster: a W Retreat, a Le M�ridien, and Vana Belle, part of the Luxury Collection.
The Sheraton will take over the current Imperial Samui Beach Resort, which had 141 rooms. It�s on the same beach as the Vana Belle, and only two hotels away.
Unfortunately, all good things come to those who wait. The Sheraton was down to open in December, but it�s not yet listed on the Starwood website, and (HT Flyertalk) it�s now showing up on Starwood�s forthcoming hotels list, and is down for March 2015. Although, since it�s not yet available to book, even that may be optimistic.

The Countdown Is On For The W Retreat Koh Samui, Opening Nov. 1
Sometimes we can just feel our lives ticking away, a feeling we were reminded of when we first opened this link promoting the countdown to November 1st--a.k.a. the opening date for the W Retreat Koh Samui.
It may be a simple piece of marketing flash animation, but it certainly got us psyched about the prospect of jetting off to Thailand to check into this new retreat. For starters, that above is one of the guest villas. That pool is the size of some pools we've seen in New York that are meant to service an entire hotel...

The Langham Place Samui Will Open in November
We usually find plenty of good things to say about Langham Hotels and the Langham Place Samui looks like it will follow the good reputation when it opens later this year. With 77 villas and suites suitable for private getaways or arranged together for group vacations, the Langham gang are promising the same good service we expect along with a few interesting innovations.
One is their idea of "borderless dining" which means you can have a romantic meal in "specially-designed dining retreats scattered in the grounds". We also like the sound of the Portal Surf & Play area, which sounds like a combined WiFi zone and cocktail bar, plus they also have the Splash Bar poolside where you can keep a cocktail handy while watching a poolside movie.

Bring Your Yacht to the New Park Hyatt Koh Samui
Coming soon to the beautiful island of Koh Samui, Thailand: the luxury Park Hyatt Koh Samui, a joint venture between First Oriental and the wealthy Liptapanlop family.
With a plan to open sometime in 2009, the Park Hyatt Koh Samui will include 90 hotel villas, plus 24 residential villas available for purchase. The hotel villas will be mostly suites with just one bedroom, although a few with two or three bedrooms will be available. The villas for sale are all two or three bedroom deals.
As well as a private pool, sun deck and terrace for every villa, the result will include several restaurants and cafes plus a spa and wellness center.
The exact location of the Park Hyatt will be along Thong Krut Bay, on the south side of Koh Samui. There's another island nearby--co-owned by the resort owners--where guests will be able to access a private beach, and tie up their yacht if that's their preferred mode of travel. Nice.

The Castleford and District Junior Rugby League Cup Draw was held at Castleford Tigers for the first time on Tuesday evening.
Almost 100 players, coaches and their families packed into the WSTS Suite at The Mend-A-Hose Jungle to watch the draw, with Tigers' Head Coach Daryl Powell drawing the home teams and Tigers' Academy International player Will Maher drawing the away teams.
Teams from the under 12s, under 13s, under 14s and under 15s age groups found out who they would face and what their potential route will be on the way to the finals which will be played at the Tigers' Mend-A-Hose Jungle in September.
Mick Shepherd, Chairman of the Cas and District Junior RL said: "The history of the competition within the local rugby league community goes back many, many years and whilst it has always been an important part, we've seen a decline in numbers over the last couple of years.
"We need more kids playing overall; we're OK at the younger age group, but the numbers drop off when it gets to under 13s, under 14s and under 15s. It's important that we try to do something to raise the profile and increase participation numbers.
"We spoke to Castleford Tigers' CEO, Steve Gill and the Head of Youth Performance, Pete Riding to see if they could help to give it a boost to regenerate interest and we're grateful to them for hosting the draw and finals.
"The finals being played down at Castleford is a massive incentive for the children - they can see that there is a real prize at the end of it."
Castleford Tigers' Head of Youth Performance, Pete Riding said: "It was a real pleasure to see an excellent turnout at the draw as it shows that there is still a real appetite for what is an important competition for junior rugby league in the area.
"We're proud to be able to offer a platform for the competition to grow and we're really looking forward to staging some exciting finals at our home later this year.
"It's important that we continue to build ongoing relationships with our community clubs. We're fortunate to be in an area which has a lot of talented young players and strengthen the bonds between us will hopefully see more of those players have aspirations to play for Castleford Tigers in the future."
Tigers' Head Coach, Daryl Powell said: "There are some good ties in the draw which should produce a number of excellent and competitive games of rugby league.
"We wish all of the teams the best of luck in the cup and I'd encourage members of the community to go and watch some of the action, including what will no doubt be a really good finals day.

AVANIR Pharmaceuticals' CEO Discusses F1Q12 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
During the course of this conference, we will be making certain forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and reflect our current expectations and judgments. Examples of these forward-looking statements include statements relating to our expectations for NUEDEXTA sales and revenue growth, future expense levels, the timing and success of future development of AVP-923 for other indications and the potential approval of NUEDEXTA in new markets.
Actual results could vary materially from the results anticipated by these statements. Investors should read the risk factors set forth in the AVANIR's Form 10-K for the year ended September 20, 2011 and periodic reports filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.
With that said, I'd now like to turn the call over to Keith Katkin. Keith?
Keith Katkin
Thank you, Ian and my thanks to each of you for joining us today. I'll start today by highlighting the achievement of a number of important milestones on the commercial, clinical and regulatory fronts. First, on the commercial side of the business, I'm delighted to report that we continue to significantly grow NUEDEXTA prescriptions. The number of PBA patients being treated and benefiting from NUEDEXTA has steadily grown each month and I'm very pleased with the continued growth in prescriptions that we are observing. Taking a look at monthly prescription numbers, in October, a total of 4,100 prescriptions were written, of which 2,043 were new prescriptions. In our number, a total of 4,896 prescriptions were written, of which 2,562 were new prescriptions. And for December, a total of 5,630 prescriptions were written, of which 2,894 were new prescriptions. Thus, for the first fiscal quarter of 2012, we had a total of 14,626 prescriptions, of which 7,499 were new prescriptions. This represents a 43% increase in total prescriptions versus the prior quarter. The average prescription size during the quarter was 51 capsules.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Black Screen of Death Not Microsoft's Fault
Re:Is that any better excuse? (583 comments)
For the entire time I've used Windows, I have had no need to install weird things off the internet. I just go to cnet's "software repositories", and I can download thousands and thousands of pieces of software that have been tested just for my operating system. In many other cases, I can go directly to the vendor's website and download yet more known-safe programs. No malware, no viruses, no attention seeking software that wants to embed a brand in my brain, no nagging to buy additional products, nothing.

To add to the hype of Linsanity, this list goes through the best words to describe Jeremy Lin's emergence in the NBA. The New York Knicks found a true Cinderella when they started playing Lin, and he is sweeping the nation.

The Five Top-Ranked Players Left At The 2012 NHL Draft
Jonathan Willis

The first round of this year's draft saw some surprising selections. At the very top, Nail Yakupov went first overall as the Oilers opted for the consensus best player, but there were reaches and slides sprinkled throughout. Filip Forsberg, ranked 2nd on the consensus list, fell to 11; Teuvo Teravainen was pegged as a top-10 talent and he slid to 18th.
Based on the consensus list, who are the five best players available in Round 2?

Our first VIP is probable first rounder Jacob Trouba, who was kind enough to take time out from helping out with national junior team goalie camp to talk to us about the US National Team Development Program, his skills and his plans after he goes in the first round of the draft this week.
Next we were joined by none other than Gabe Desjardins of Behind the Net fame. Our last guest was Dirk Hoag of the fine Nashville Predators blog On the Forecheck.

The keyed blade adapter (connects the blade to the crankshaft) on my rotary mower broke last week. Can anyone point me to a mower repair shop in the East valley where I may find a replacement part? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I just took my rototiller into Grovers in Mesa for repair, they do a lot of lawn mower repair there too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Info on Grovers
Thx for the reply, bolt. I called around to several shops in the area, but not Grovers. None of those I did call had the part I needed in stock, and the price range to have them order it ranged from $20 to $45 with a couple "I'm not sure"s. I found it online (drillspotDOTcom) for under $13 delivered, $7 of that being shipping! The worst part is I just applied fertilizer a week ago before I knew the mower was broken. Hopefully that part gets here soon... |
Ah good, glad you found the part! |

Central Peak of Copernicus Crater
November 30, 2012
Although large boulders are not rare on the Moon, in-place bedrock is a rarity. The Moon is so impact-battered that most bedrock surfaces (unless exposed on very high slopes) are covered with regolith, and thus bedrock rarely crops out. Bedrock exposures are scientifically important. Any given point on the lunar surface has been subjected to hundreds of millions of years of meteorite impacts; these impacts tend to redistribute rocks around the lunar surface. Rocks that you just pick up from the lunar surface therefore may not have originated from the point where you found it. Now, you might think from this fact that just sampling loose rocks might not be geologically informative, but loose rocks must have been transported or disrupted by a geologic or planetary process. These processes will overprint or alter a loose rock in some way, which will also provide incredibly useful information to the geoscientist. However, bedrock formed in the location in which it is found and therefore informs scientists about the local history. Craters are one of the places on the Moon that expose bedrock, often on the very high slopes.

In 1989, the founding director, a savings bank executive vice president, other former program managers and clergy, met to consider the feasibility of starting an organization which solely focused on homebuyer education. The other groups in the Milwaukee area provided homebuyer education in addition to housing development. The premise for this new organization was that its focus would be to specialize in a unique niche market of homebuyer education. Housing Resources, Inc. is a minority run agency founded in 1991 to provide home buyer counseling services in Milwaukee. We extended services to Racine in 2000.
Housing Resources, Inc. empowers people to live their dream of successful homeownership through education, advocacy and supportive services.
Housing Resources is very fortunate to have a dedicated Board of Directors to lead the agency as we strive to assist families in building wealth through homeownership. The current Board members include: Stephen Elliott (President Emeritus), Carole Jones (Treasurer), Joe Bova (Secretary), Scott Bush (President), Tamara Maddente (BM), Eliana Williams (BM), Thomas L. Sprewer (BM), Kathy Gentry (Vice President), and Lemuel Eaton (BM).

It might also be that many North American people are fed up with people who immigrate but don't even make a half-butted attempt to learn English and expect us to know their language. This is especially bad in So-Cal in my experience. If you want to live/interact with English speakers, then you have to speak English. When you use Spanish, even if it's just a few words or phrases it freaks people out because then they start to think you don't know English at all because all of the experiences we have here with many Latino immigrants is that you don't speak any/decent English Everyone in my family is fluent in Finnish and Swedish (immigrated to the US 5 years ago) except for my little sister (she's 5). Because she doesn't speak our language we always make sure to use English around her. If you want to use your native language in the game be ready for people to be ignorant and troll or just tell them you are taking Spanish in high school and just messing around with the language :P Personally though, I feel you are overreacting to the situation. In Finland people aren't publicly humorous, and so when many Finns interact with American tourists they think they are rude/loud/etc, but really this is just a cultural misunderstanding. Sarcasm and mocking are popular forms of humor here and when Americans make sarcastic/mocking jokes many foreigners don't get them.

League of Legends is, first and foremost, an English game. Riot Games is based in America and conducts all their business in English. I can't speak for all the gamers out there, but I feel that teamwork wins games in League of Legends. The first and most important part of teamwork is communication. That's not possible without a common language. I feel that anyone playing on the English server should have at least a decent grasp of the English language (and I see plenty of players who fail to demonstrate said competency and presumably live in the US). Anyone who can't speak English should stay on the servers for their own native language. At the OP in particular, jut because you're playing with your friend doesn't mean you should use Spanish. It's always useful for your other teammates to understand what you're saying. At the very least, keep all strategic and tactical talk in English, and assure your teammates that any Spanish is personal conversations. EDIT:
Trolls trolling trolls.
Ω Omega
I guarantee that everyone in this thread has played with more players who, in fact, know and understand English and bring the team down than played with non-English speakers that do the same. Quit whining, English speakers are terrible at this game too.
Cuz your entire race is genetically predetermined to suck at LoL
We don't hate you guys, we just have no idea what you are saying and most trolls I've encountered have been Spanish speakers. Riot should have Spanish only an English only servers.
