Clay roofing tile fastening methods: this article explains how clay tiles are secured to the roof deck. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. How clay roofing tiles are secured to the roofOur page top photo shows clay roofing tiles installed in the Northeastern United States, on a combination steep and low slope roof. The metal tabs exposed at the lower edge of many of these tiles indicates that the roof has had extensive repair work. Carson Dunlop's sketch (left) illustrates typical methods of securing clay tiles to the roof deck. [Click to enlarge any image] Also see CLAY TILE WIND & SEISMIC CONNECTORS where we describe special connections used for clay tiles on roofs in high wind, hurricane, or seismic areas. Fasteners for clay tile roofs: clay tiles are secured to the roof deck using wire, special clips, concrete, ballast stones, or metal clips. Tiles are secured loosely - overly-tight wires or nails are likely to break the tile. Also used to secure clay tiles on some roofs are aluminum nails, hot dipped galvanized steel nails, or stainless steel nails. Clay tiles at roof gable edges are often nailed through multiple pre-cast holes in special roof edge tiles in areas where wind blow-off is a common risk. The fastener schedule for clay roofing tiles varies by geographic area, as we discuss below. Where nails are used, one or two nails per clay tile is usual. In some jurisdictions (areas of low storm and wind damage risk) only every third or fourth course of tiles is nailed, and in the roof shown in our photo (below right) none of the tiles was secured except those at the roof edges where mortar was applied. The clay tile roof battens shown in the sketch ( left) are discussed at CLAY TILE ROOF BATTENS & STACKING. Our photo (above right) illustrates a clay tile roof undergoing repair in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. This tile roof is in a sheltered location and as is local custom, the clay roofing tiles are barely secured, perhaps only at the roof edges where tiles are set in cement. At above right Carson Dunlop's sketch illustrates how the eaves are closed at the lower roof edges where a clay tile roof is installed. Roof Tile Fastening Alternatives & MethodsAdapted/paraphrased with permission from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, chapter on BEST ROOFING PRACTICES: The preferred method of attachment depends on the type of tile, climate conditions, and slope of the roof. Loose Laid Clay Tile RoofsFor standard concrete tiles with lugs set on battens, building codes still allow tiles to be laid loose at slopes less than 5:12 (except for one nail per tile within 36 inches of hips, ridges, eaves, or rakes). Loose-laid tiles are not allowed, however, in snow regions, areas subject to high winds, or with tiles weighing less than 9 pounds per square foot installed. Selection of Nails Used on Clay Tile RoofsNails are the least expensive and most common method for attaching concrete and clay tiles. Tiles can be nailed either directly into the roof sheathing or tiles with lugs can be nailed to battens. Corrosion-resistant nails must be minimum 11 gauge, with 5/16 -inch heads, and long enough to penetrate the sheathing by 3/4 inch—typically 8d nails. Photo at left: a clay tile "gravity" roof sheltering a grave marker in Rodriguez, Guanajuato, Mexico. Gravity-alone clay tile roof installations are common and are somewhat successful only in inland areas not subject to high winds or other severe weather conditions. Ring-shank nails or hot-dipped galvanized nails hold better than smooth-shank nails in areas subject to heavy winds. Whether driven by hand or pneumatic nailers, nails should be driven so heads lightly touch the tile but not so tight as to risk cracking tiles. Because of the longevity of a tile roof, some contractors use copper or stainless-steel roofing nails. No. 8 or 9 stainless-steel or brass screws also work well and are sometimes used in high-wind regions. Most tiles have two prepunched nail holes. On curved tiles, use the hole closest to the deck surface unless a nail there would penetrate a critical flashing. The other hole is also used for cut tiles or applications requiring two nails. For example, all flat, non interlocking tiles require two nails. And in snow regions, codes require two nails per tile for all types and slopes. Otherwise follow the guidelines in Table 2-9 above or the manufacturer's guidelines if they are more stringent. Also see CLAY TILE WIND & SEISMIC CONNECTORS where we describe special connections used for clay tiles on roofs in high wind, hurricane, or seismic areas. Tile Roof Fastener Options from NRCAIn the 1990's NRCA's Thomas Smith noted that a paper published in the Proceedings of the 10th Conference on Roofing Technology expressed concern for the lack of conservative roofing industry guidelines for the components of tile roofing systems in the U.S. Photo at left: steep clay tile roof on a Boston MA cathedral. The recommendations in the then-current NRCA Steep Roofing and Waterproofing Manual indeed included recommendations for tile roof underlayment, fasteners, and metal flashings, but Smith noted that these were "non-conservative" for many areas in the United States (and other locations of challenging weather). Smith posed some interim fastener options to improve the life of tile roof systems, including

The subject that this volume deals with is gaining increasing interest with the advancement of technologies and shifting boundaries of marginal fields into more challenging ground. Fractures and their response to current-day in-situ stresses have become a crucial part of reservoir characterization in deep tight reservoirs. In addition, maturing reservoirs, which were considered as 'conventional' at discovery, are displaying symptoms characteristic of fractures and/or geomechanical contribution. This has lead to the need to delineate the fractures and the stresses in these reservoirs and revise reservoir management accordingly.
This volume will be of interest to a broad range of readers from both academic and industrial institutes, who are researching and dealing with hydrocarbon reservoir characterization, simulation and management.

Encouraging independence means letting teens have a few secrets
(Read article summary)One way to encourage independent teens: let go of the need to know everything that is going on in their lives. Our experts say that it is better for parents not to know about some of their teen's secrets.
Daniel J. Murphy/Northwest Herald/AP
The truth is there are some things that as a parent of a teen, actually as a parent in general, you are better off not knowing. Stop a moment and think back to your own teen years. Think back to a specific time when you did something so risky, so dangerous, so stupid, or any combination of the three, that it is a miracle you are still around. Can you think back to a time when luck had to have been on your side because if it hadn't been, you probably wouldn't be reminiscing about this? Now ask yourself, if by some chance your parents did not find out about this, did you tell them anyway? We are willing to bet that a large majority of you did not tell your parents.
While there were many reasons for not enlightening your parents, we would guarantee that besides wanting to avoid a consequence you also had their best interests in mind. We mean, why inform them after the fact when you were okay? Did they really need the anxiety, disappointment and even despair that could have easily ensued? So, where are we going with this? It is really quite simple: there are some things about your teens that you are probably better off not knowing.
There is much truth to the saying "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." As your teens work to establish their identities and assert their independence they are likely to make mistakes and missteps. Many of these you are probably better off not knowing about. You have raised them well, instilled in them the virtues and values that you felt were not only needed but necessary. It is during adolescence that parents need to allow their teens to try out their wings. If communication is strong and the bonds of trust and respect are mutual and firm, then you have done your job. If they need your assistance, advice or the wisdom of your experience they are likely to fly back to you.

Skip Maine state header navigation
TO: Superintendents
Directors of Special Education
Superintendents of State Correctional Facilities
FROM: Susan A. Gendron
DATE: July 30, 2003
SUBJECT: Federal IDEA Requirements Not Fully Addressed in Ch. 101, Maine Special Education Regulations.
After lengthy negotiations with the Office of Special Education Programs, U.S. Department of Education, the Maine Department of Education has agreed that there are a number of requirements included in the rules and regulations governing the implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), which are not fully addressed in Ch. 101, "Maine Special Education Regulations". We have also agreed that it does not make sense to engage in major rulemaking at this time to address these requirements, given that the IDEA is in the process of reauthorization during this session of Congress and there will be additional changes we would need to address.
Therefore, we are using this Administrative Letter to advise you of those areas which are not fully addressed, but that we are incorporating in Maine's IDEA Part B eligibility documents. All Maine School Administrative Units must comply with these requirements. The attached memo of July 30, 2003, to Samara Goodman provides the Federal Register section of each requirement and either a verbatim statement from the Federal Register or a modification of the Federal requirement to make it specific to Maine. Where only portions of a requirement were not fully addressed in our own regulations, the required additional language has been underlined.
Finally, please note that in Ch. 101, SUMMARY, the statement summarizing the content of Ch. 101 incorrectly identifies the age of eligibility as being "between the ages of 5 and 20." The correct age of eligibility is included in Ch. 101 in the general definition found at Sec. 3.1, sub-Section A. and B. ("Has reached the age of 5 years on or before October 15; [and] Has neither graduated from a secondary school program with a regular high school diploma nor reached 20 years at the start of the school year;….") School year is defined at Sec. 2.20 to be "…the period from July 1 through June 30 of the next calendar year." This is the requirement with which you must comply, such that if a student turns 20 within the school year, services must continue through the end of the school year as defined in Section 2.20. This error in the summary will be corrected during the next rulemaking process.
Should you have any questions regarding any of the requirements described in this letter, contact David Stockford or any of the staff of the Special Services Team who have specific responsibility for implementation of these areas. The telephone number for the team is 624-6650. Staff who may be contacted for further information are:
David Stockford, Director
John Kierstead, Federal Programs
Christine Bartlett, Private Schools, State Agency Clients and Surrogate Parents
Pam Rosen, CSPD

Popular take-away joint Ajwa has relocated and opened as a restaurant. Ajwa still serves its strong point – biriyanis
Restaurants are aplenty in the city, with a new one popping up every other day. Most of these restaurants offer a wide range of dishes to suit the varied palate of its customers. While this does offer the diners a plethora of dishes to choose from, most restaurants fail to maintain a standard for all the dishes on the menu. In the need to cater to the public, they fail to recognise which cuisine or dish their specialty lies in.
So, when I heard that popular take-away joint Ajwa, which was located at Udarasiromani Road, Vellayambalam, has relocated to Twinkle Plaza, Panavila Junction, and that it was now a restaurant, I feared the worst. But as I step into the new joint I am pleasantly surprised to note that they are still serving what they are known for – Thalassery 'dum' biriyanis. The only addition to the menu is fried chicken and lemon tea.
The restaurant is rather plain looking at the moment as it is barely a week old. "The interiors should be ready by next week," says Muhamed Naushad, one of Ajwa's managing partners.
As you step into the restaurant, the aroma from the biriyanis that are being prepared in the kitchen wafts through the dining area. It whets your appetite. I order a chicken biriyani (Rs. 120), a fish biriyani (Rs. 180) and a plate of fried chicken (Rs. 80) as take away. The dishes come neatly packed and are piping hot even as I reach home.
The chicken biriyani has generous pieces of chicken in it. The pieces are a bit dry though. The fish biriyani is excellent. The fish is well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The rice for both the biriyanis are flavourful and aromatic as it is cooked in ghee. Both the biriyanis are thankfully not overpowered by spices.
The salad that is served as accompaniment is simple: slices of onion and diced tomato and cucumber with a dash of salt and a squeeze of lime. The sweet and sour pickle goes well with the biriyanis.
The fried chicken is delicious. Nicely marinated and coated with masala, pieces of juicy chicken are fried till a lovely shade of gold in coconut oil. The coating is particularly tasty. "Fried chicken is usually served with biriyanis during weddings in Malabar. It goes well with the dish," says Naushad. I can't help but agree with him. Ajwa also offers vegetarian (Rs. 100) and mutton biriyani (Rs. 150). It is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The restaurant plans to dedicate a section of its restaurant to serving fresh juices and ice creams shortly.

McDermott salutes matchwinner Manset
Reading manager Brian McDermott hailed the impact of substitute Mathieu Manset after his goal earned the Royals a 1-0 win over Barnsley at Oakwell in the npower Championship.Manset netted the winner within five minutes of his second-half introduction as the visitors finally found a way past Barnsley goalkeeper Luke Steele. The Frenchman, whose goal came with 19 minutes left, earned the praise of his boss, who tipped him to be a success at the Berkshire club."When the ball goes near Mathieu, he comes alive," said McDermott. "He'll be a good player for us for many years, I'm sure."He's a work in progress and we're working on him day in, day out to improve him."He's a big, strong lad and he's really popular in the dressing room."We're absolutely delighted because this is never an easy place to come to and sometimes you can't play the type of football you want to play."

By Jeff Stein:
Nothing has come in for more mockery during the Obama administration's halting steps into the Syrian civil war than its employment of "moderate" to describe the kind of rebels it is willing to back. In one of the more widely cited japes, The New Yorker's resident humorist, Andy Borowitz, presented a "Moderate Syrian Application Form," in which applicants were asked to describe themselves as either "A) Moderate, B) Very moderate, C) Crazy moderate or D) Other."
After Senator John McCain unwittingly posed with Syrians "on our side" who turned out to be kidnappers, Jon Stewart cracked, "Not everyone is going to be wearing their 'HELLO I'M A TERRORIST' name badge."
Behind the jokes, however, is the deadly serious responsibility of the CIA and Defense Department to vet Syrians before they receive covert American training, aid and arms. But according to U.S. counterterrorism veterans, a system that worked pretty well during four decades of the Cold War has been no match for the linguistic, cultural, tribal and political complexities of the Middle East, especially now in Syria. "We're completely out of our league," one former CIA vetting expert declared on condition of anonymity, reflecting the consensus of intelligence professionals with firsthand knowledge of the Syrian situation. "To be really honest, very few people know how to vet well. It's a very specialized skill. It's extremely difficult to do well" in the best of circumstances, the former operative said. And in Syria it has proved impossible.
Daunted by the task of fielding a 5,000-strong force virtually overnight, the Defense Department and CIA field operatives, known as case officers, have largely fallen back on the system used in Afghanistan, first during the covert campaign to rout the Soviet Red Army in the 1980s and then again after the 2001 U.S. invasion to expel Al-Qaeda: Pick a tribal leader who in turn recruits a fighting force. But these warlords have had their own agendas, including drug-running, and shifting alliances, sometimes collaborating with terrorist enemies of the United States, sometimes not.
"Vetting is a word we throw a lot around a lot, but actually very few people know what it really means," said the former CIA operative, who had several postings in the Middle East for a decade after the 9/11 attacks. "It's not like you've got a booth set up at a camp somewhere. What normally happens is that a case officer will identify a source who is a leader in one of the Free Syrian Army groups. And he'll say, 'Hey…can you come up with 200 [guys] you can trust?' And of course they say yes—they always say yes. So Ahmed brings you a list and the details you need to do the traces," the CIA's word for background checks. "So you're taking that guy's word on the people he's recruited. So we rely on a source whom we've done traces on to do the recruiting. Does that make sense?"
No, says former CIA operative Patrick Skinner, who still travels the region for the Soufan Group, a private intelligence organization headed by FBI, CIA and MI6 veterans. "Syria is a vetting nightmare," he told Newsweek, "with no way to discern the loyalties of not only those being vetted but also of those bringing the people to our attention."
A particularly vivid example was provided recently by Peter Theo Curtis, an American held hostage in Syria for two years. A U.S.-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) unit that briefly held him hostage casually revealed how it collaborated with Al-Qaeda's al-Nusra Front, even after being "vetted" and trained by the CIA in Jordan, he wrote in The New York Times Magazine.
"About this business of fighting Jabhat al-Nusra?" Curtis said he asked his FSA captors.
"Oh, that," one said. "We lied to the Americans about that."

is guest article by тInder P Singhт
more and more vital data is stored in web applications and the number of
transactions on the web increases, proper security testing of web applications
is becoming very important. Security testing is the process that determines
that confidential data stays confidential (i.e. it is not exposed to
individuals/ entities for which it is not meant) and users can perform only
those tasks that they are authorized to perform (e.g. a user should not be able
to deny the functionality of the web site to other users, a user should not be
able to change the functionality of the web application in an unintended way
key terms used in security testing
Before we go further, it will be useful to be aware of a few
terms that are frequently used in web application security testing:
is тVulnerabilityт?
This is a weakness in the web application. The cause of such a тweaknessт can
be bugs in the application, an injection (SQL/ script code) or the presence of
is тURL manipulationт?
Some web applications communicate additional information between the client
(browser) and the server in the URL. Changing some information in the URL may
sometimes lead to unintended behavior by the server.
is тSQL injectionт?
This is the process of inserting SQL statements through the web application
user interface into some query that is then executed by the server.
is тXSS (Cross Site Scripting)т?
When a user inserts HTML/ client-side script in the user interface of a web
application and this insertion is visible to other users, it is called XSS.
is тSpoofingт?
The creation of hoax look-alike websites or emails is called spoofing.
Security testing
In order to perform a useful security test of a web application,
the security tester should have good knowledge of the HTTP protocol. It is
important to have an understanding of how the client (browser) and the server
communicate using HTTP. Additionally, the tester should at least know the
basics of SQL injection and XSS. Hopefully, the number of security defects
present in the web application will not be high. However, being able to
accurately describe the security defects with all the required details to all
concerned will definitely help.
Password cracking:
The security testing on a web application can be kicked off by
тpassword crackingт. In order to log in to the private areas of the
application, one can either guess a username/ password or use some password
cracker tool for the same. Lists of common usernames and passwords are
available along with open source password crackers. If the web application does
not enforce a complex password (e.g. with alphabets, number and special
characters, with at least a required number of characters), it may not take
very long to crack the username and password.
If username or password is stored in cookies without encrypting,
attacker can use different methods to steal the cookies and then information
stored in the cookies like username and password.
more details see article on тWebsite cookie testingт.
URL manipulation through HTTP GET methods:
The tester should check if the application passes important
information in the querystring. This happens when the application uses the HTTP
GET method to pass information between the client and the server. The
information is passed in parameters in the querystring. The tester can modify a
parameter value in the querystring to check if the server accepts it.
Via HTTP GET request user information is passed to server for
authentication or fetching data. Attacker can manipulate every input variable
passed from this GET request to server in order to get the required information
or to corrupt the data. In such conditions any unusual behavior by application
or web server is the doorway for the attacker to get into the application.
SQL Injection:
The next thing that should be checked is SQL injection. Entering
a single quote (т) in any textbox should be rejected by the application.
Instead, if the tester encounters a database error, it means that the user
input is inserted in some query which is then executed by the application. In
such a case, the application is vulnerable to SQL injection.
SQL injection attacks are very critical as attacker can get
vital information from server database. To check SQL injection entry points
into your web application, find out code from your code base where direct MySQL
queries are executed on database by accepting some user inputs.
If user input data is crafted in SQL queries to query the
database, attacker can inject SQL statements or part of SQL statements as user
inputs to extract vital information from database. Even if attacker is
successful to crash the application, from the SQL query error shown on browser,
attacker can get the information they are looking for. Special characters from
user inputs should be handled/escaped properly in such cases.
Cross Site Scripting (XSS):
The tester should additionally check the web application for XSS
(Cross site scripting). Any HTML e.g. <HTML> or any script e.g.
<SCRIPT> should not be accepted by the application. If it is, the
application can be prone to an attack by Cross Site Scripting.
Attacker can use this method to execute malicious script or URL
on victimтs browser. Using cross-site scripting, attacker can use scripts like
JavaScript to steal user cookies and information stored in the cookies.
Many web applications get some user information and pass this
information in some variables from different pages.
Attacker can easily pass some malicious input or <script>
as a т&queryт parameter which can explore important user/server data on
Important: During security testing, the tester
should be very careful not to modify any of the following:
- Configuration
of the application or the server
- Services
running on the server
- Existing
user or customer data hosted by the application
Additionally, a security test should be avoided on a production
The purpose of the security test is to discover the
vulnerabilities of the web application so that the developers can then remove
these vulnerabilities from the application and make the web application and
data safe from unauthorized actions.

I enjoyed my stay in this unique hostel. The staff was very kind and the rooms were comfortable. It might be a little intimidating to try and find if you haven't lived in Korea for a while, as I imagine most would take the bus (a little far to walk from the local train station).

text: 1 Buyer BewarePosted: 27/06/2009This was bought for me as a Christmas gift because I am always carrying about lots of reading material. Wondered if anyone else out there had this problem.Was in the middle of reading a book on my ereader, had it just a few weeks only on 3rd book, when I changed the page the top right corner disappeared.Contacted the seller, they sent us to Sony. Sony took it in, there was no sign of damage yet we were told the screen was broken and would cost nearly £170 to fix. It hadn't been damaged by us and there was no sign of damage visible except for missing top of screen. I read that someone else had this problem but they had dropped it, all my ereader had done was sit on my bedside table!Play.com, no help just keep sending us back to Sony as we are covered by warentee, Sony, downright unhelpful and even want to charge us to get the thing back. Warning all thinking of buying this product, seems it must be treated with kid gloves, total waste of money

Have I ever kissed a girl? Of course I have. I can't sing a song and not have done it. That'd be complete hypocrisy. I fancy Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie - I'd definitely kiss them.

How do you want yr "You've been cheated on?"
The eps of That '70s Show where Kelso is an idiot and loses Jackie made me wonder,
What is the "best" way to find out your bf/gf is cheating:
a) Catching them -- so there's no confusion about what the truth is.
b) Hearing about it from a friend -- so that cheating scum doesn't get to see you cry.
c) A confession from your bf/gf -- so you don't have that image burned on your eyeballs, and they're kind of showing remorse? A little? And maybe you could forgive them?
d) Other... please describe.

We went there (my partner and I) about 11:00PM Oct 29, and were told by the doorstaff that they couldn't possibly let us it, for "safety reasons", unless 9 people (a number he clearly pulled from the air) left first. Then my partner and I stood there while group after group of people were let in because they "knew the owner". My partner and I scratched our heads at this because, looking through the windows, we could see that all of the tables inside were empty. ..... I'm telling everyone I know to stay away from this pretentious place, I'm 36 and not a rookie. I don't know who the particular doorman was tonight, but hopefully he'll learn that there is no job satisfaction in lying outright to the clientele.

Greetings everyone!
The Featured Deviations for October are up! Please take a look at all the wonderful deviations here.
We haven't had a contest in a while, so I think it's time to open up another! We have done "Characters from LOTR that were not in the films" and "The Ainur". We haven't done anything specific to the Hobbit or other Tolkien works yet, nor have we covered a topic that covers more than one book. Have a suggestion for anything? Please leave it here, and I'll put up a poll soon!
Due to the huge amount of non-English speakers in the club, as well as the several people who don't realize we have a folder system (grin), there is now an "Unsorted" folder for those who have no idea where to put their works. If you know where a piece should go, though, please put it in that folder and save the mods some time!
And finally, a reminder that the Favorites Folder is *not* for favorites, but works by our members that want critiques. You only submit your pieces to it, and all Tolkien-related pieces that you made make it into that critique/fave folder, regardless whether it made it into the gallery or not.
If you have any questions, concerns, comments, please leave them here.

Many Tai Chi videos emphasize the martial art aspect, but this video focuses on self-healing. This video covers the breadth of health practices that both Tai Chi and Chi Gung have to offer: techniques for detoxifying your body, for achieving better balance, and even exercises for longevity. To find all these practices from other sources you would need to buy a number of videos – here they're all together in one DVD so you can get the most out of your Tai Chi practice. (See our F.A.Q.s page for more detailed information about the benefits of Chi Gung (also spelled Qigong) and Tai Chi.) Many Tai Chi videos just aren't that easy to learn from - they have too many movements to learn and require postures that can be difficult for people. Or maybe you've found yourself wanting subtitles because the instruction is not easily understood. Our video takes a different approach - each movement was picked to make sure that anyone could easily do them. Our goal was to take the mystery and difficulty out of learning Tai Chi and make it easy for everyone to do and get the health benefits. Enjoy all the benefits of health and relaxation from this 'moving meditation'— even if you can't sit still and focus!
"These are the most effective Tai Chi and Chi Gung exercises I have ever known." ~ Mark Johnson, International Tai Chi Tournament Judge, and a Founder of the U.S. National Qigong Association.
"TAI CHI FOR EVERYONE is a superb guide to techniques that have been proven to increase your health, joy, and fulfillment. Anyone who is attracted to integrative approaches to health will find great benefit in these harmonizing movements." ~ Dr. Larry Dossey, M.D., Mind-Body-Spirit Medicine Pioneer, and Author of The Power of Premonitions and Reinventing Medicine.
"This is a beautifully shot DVD set in nature upon Mt. Tamalpais. Chris explains and demonstrates these exercises with clarity and precision. The DVD covers an excellent variety of qigong for health purposes. I recommend this program for anyone interested in practicing Qigong to regain or maintain their health and promote their immunity and longevity." ~ Dr. Raymond Himmel L.Ac., OMD
"Chris Anderl has articulated a contemporary form of Tai Chi and Chi Gung. His form is easy to follow and will teach you how to cultivate your own Chi for natural health, well being, balance and to promote longevity. It is an excellent teaching DVD." ~ Dr. Margo Jordan Parker, OMD - CEO Herbal Fortress (www.herbalfortress.com)
"As a chiropractor and a practitioner of yoga and Tai Chi for many years I am delighted to recommend Chris Anderl's DVD to anyone wishing to learn Tai Chi.

MLB Baseball - Preview
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. San Francisco Giants | |
Divisional bragging rights will be on the line on Saturday when the Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Francisco Giants meet at AT&T Park. The Diamondbacks will pin their hopes on the pitching of lefthander Wade Miley in this game. Miley has a 6-7 record and a 4.01 ERA this season. Meanwhile, it'll be Matt Cain who starts for the Giants. Righthander Cain is 5-6 with a 5.06 ERA so far this season.

As Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reported on Sunday, the 6-foot-7 Bishop was dealt to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a 2013 second round pick. To make the deal feasible for Senators GM Bryan Murray, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports that it's expected Bishop will be signed to a 1-year, 1-way contract.
Bishop will have a familiar face in Ottawa as Senators goaltender coach Rick Wamsley worked with him while he was with the Blues organization.
Murray's hand was forced after his No. 1 starter, Craig Anderson, injured his hand cutting frozen chicken earlier this week. He could be back for the Senators sometime next week, but Bishop can provide insurance with Alex Auld and Robin Lehner also in the mix.
Anderson is signed for the next three seasons, so Bishop's presence will provide competition for Lehner heading into training camp next season for the backup job.

Despite the sizzling temperatures I am having fun this summer and some kids and baseball are to credit.
The tension that we all thought we saw between Ann and Matt appears to be very real.
The video was put together as part of the requirements in Petsafe's Bark For Your Park contest. It is super-cute, check it out. My Max makes a cameo in this video.
I'm usually at work when the farmers markets are set up. Today I got the jump on the beans before they were all gone. I think I could have turned a huge profit on my butter beans since I got the last ones. People were pointing at me so I knew I had some gold in my bag.
This sweet dog is less than two years old. She is a happy dog. Pippy is a shepherd mixed with heeler.

The Five Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week: Aug. 17
3. Standard Skates By
Wow Standard Chartered. What a difference a week and $340 million makes.
Barely a week after the behemoth British bank got busted by New York Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky for allegedly doing $250 billion worth of illegal business with Iran, Standard Chartered settled the affair Tuesday by paying a fine and agreeing to install a monitor to prevent future money-laundering. The announcement came just in time for the London-based bank, as it was scheduled to defend itself against the allegations at a hearing the following day.
Um, excuse us for asking, but if Standard Chartered was indeed a "rogue institution" and broke U.S. sanctions laws, then why not hold the hearings first and then decide the penalty? Those are some pretty nasty charges, so let's hear Chief Executive Peter Sands give some specifics under oath instead of flat-out denials to the press. From the smell of it, the Brits got their knickers in a twist and New York's Lawsky, probably feeling the heat from the U.S. Department of Justice, twisted Sands' arm for a settlement before the facts could come to light and seriously embarrass somebody -- including himself. In other words, he pulled a Spitzer, except in this case Lawsky did it to save America's "special relationship" with Great Britain instead of Wall Street campaign contributions for a future political run. (By the way Ben, disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is not the act you want to follow if you want to get ahead in the politics business. Don't just take it from us. Ask around.) Anyway, the $340 million penalty may seem hefty, but Standard Chartered earned $17.6 billion in 2011, so it's the equivalent of a speeding ticket to these guys. And as we all know, the best way to stop somebody from speeding is to take away their license. And on that note, all that talk about revoking Standard Charter's license to do business in New York was merely that. Once the Limeys started whining that U.S. regulators were treating their banks differently than American ones, Lawsky claimed victory and left the game he started. To which we say, congratulations to our friends across the pond. With that wrist slap of a punishment, Standard Chartered is being treated exactly like its counterparts in America. So quit your complaining, mates.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Tip Sheet notes: Harper emerges
New Orleans' strong safety is the perfect complement to free safety Sharper
Originally Published: December 4, 2009
By Len Pasquarelli | ESPN.com
The standout performance by New Orleans Saints cornerback Mike McKenzie (three tackles, one interception, three passes defensed), who signed off the street a week earlier and hadn't played a snap since Nov. 9, 2008, was one of the highlights of the Saints' Monday night victory over the New England Patriots. And, as usual, free safety Darren Sharper played another strong game.
But another defensive back who jumped out was strong safety Roman Harper, a guy we have been touting most of the season, and who is enjoying a Pro Bowl-type year. In his fourth NFL season, Harper, 26, has become one of the league's hardest hitters in the secondary, and, almost as important, one of the surest tacklers. As predicted in training camp, new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has used the versatile Harper in a lot of ways, including increasing his number of blitzes.
"It's like night and day, the difference between last year and this season," said Harper, who leads the Saints with 78 tackles. "With the offense we have, we always knew that if we just played any kind of defense at all, we would be tough to beat. And this year, we're really getting after it on defense."
A big part of that "getting after it" has been the play of Harper, a second-round selection in the 2006 draft who is on pace for a career-best 113 tackles. Schemes often call for Harper -- the perfect complement to Sharper -- to play down "in the box," and to come up the middle and off the edge on run blitzes and pass rushes. The former Alabama star has 1.5 sacks and four passes defensed, and he is now being recognized as one of the best strong safeties in the league.
With the presence of Sharper, who is a viable candidate for defensive player of the year honors and has three interception returns for touchdowns, Harper sometimes flies under the radar. But he is rarely underrated by opponents.
Not necessarily a big-play guy, Harper is doing the critical little things well, like tackling -- which has become increasingly shoddy in the NFL -- and limiting the receivers' yards after the catch.
Harper is quick to credit Williams for the aggressive, turnover-causing defensive mentality the coach has installed in his first year with the club. But Harper also lauds Sharper for the knowledge that the 13-year veteran has passed on to him.
"At this point in his career, Darren might be a little slower than he was, but he sees things no one else does, and he relates them to me," Harper said. "I really see the game now through his eyes and that makes a difference.
It's a defense where we all get a chance to really shine."
There aren't many strong safeties in the NFL shining any brighter than Harper right now.

Pair of big names on the rise
Injury drops fast-rising DE, while TE class gets boost
The regular season has ended for the top prospects in the 2013 NFL draft class, so it's time to take a breath and look back at what we've seen over the past few weeks.
The impact of a recent injury stands out right away, with rising Florida State DE Cornellius Carradine falling down the board after suffering a torn ACL in his team's season finale. Meanwhile, fellow DE Dion Jordan of Oregon has dealt with a nagging shoulder injury but has still inched his way into the top 15.
Further down the board, Notre Dame TE Tyler Eifert gives his position group a boost by cracking the rankings for the first time.
Elsewhere, the board is still without a running back. No wide receivers or quarterbacks are inside the top 20, and the only offensive players in the top 10 are linemen.
Here is a look at the entire list, with draft-eligible non-seniors noted with an asterisk:
Analysis: Lotulelei is the most complete defensive lineman in the class in terms of physical tools. He dominates interior offensive linemen with his blend of quickness and power. He shows strong hands, nimble feet and the ability to quickly discard blockers, and he has impressive lateral range. Lotulelei needs some polish as a pass-rusher, but his natural gifts are clearly a cut above. Previously: 2
Analysis: Jones is a steady performer on a defense loaded with NFL prospects. He is a good overall athlete and top-notch pass-rusher, has impressive range in pass coverage and against the run, and can line up all over the defensive formation. Durability concerns are behind him, and Jones has locked down a spot in the first few picks. Previously: 1
Analysis: He is a versatile prospect who can play outside linebacker in a 3-4, right or left end in a 4-3 and even move inside to rush the passer from the interior. Moore is quick and fluid as a pass-rusher, is able to hold up against the run and plays hard. Previously: 5
Analysis: Warmack is a big, strong, nasty lineman with good smarts and athleticism. He shows awareness, is an easy mover in pass protection and has power as a run-blocker. The best guard I've evaluated in the past decade, Warmack is the rare interior lineman worthy of a top-10 overall pick. Previously: 3
Analysis: Te'o moves well in space for a player his size, displaying range and playmaking skills in underneath coverage and the ability to hold the point and deliver blows as a run-defender. He is a three-down linebacker with the kind of intangibles that teams seek in their defensive leaders. Previously: 4

The World Motor Sport Councils (WMSC) decision not to sanction McLaren for possessing Ferrari data could yet be overturned after FIA President Max Mosley referred the case to the Court of Appeal on Tuesday.
It follows a plea by the Italian Automobile Club and Italian Motor Sport Commission (ACI-CSAI) on Ferraris behalf and means the team will now be able to formally present evidence in the case - something they were unable to do at last Thursdays hearing.
In a letter to Mosley, ACI-CSAI President Luigi Macaluso said the body could not comprehend how McLaren had not received a penalty, given the Councils findings that the team had indeed breached the International Sporting Code. He also implied that the result might have been different, had Ferrari been able to give evidence.
In response, Mosley admitted that there had been suspicious elements in McLarens defence, but agreed with the Council that these elements did not constitute proof of wrongdoing. However, in light of Ferraris lack of representation and the importance of the case, Mosley agreed to refer it to the Court of Appeal.
Replying to Macaluso, he said: Your letter suggests that the outcome may have been different if the Council had given Ferrari further opportunities to be heard beyond those that were in fact offered.
"Because of this and the importance of public confidence in the outcome, I will send this matter to the FIA Court of Appeal under Article 23.1 of the FIA Statutes with a request that the Court hear both Ferrari and McLaren and any other Championship competitor who so requests and determine whether the decision of the WMSC was appropriate and, if not, substitute such other decision as may be just.
A date for the appeal has not yet been announced.

Will This Analyst Upgrade Help Verizon (VZ) Stock Today?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- FBR Capital Markets upgraded Verizon (VZ - Get Report) to "outperform" from "market perform" and set a $57 price target. The firm said the company is seeing continued momentum in wireless and a moderating decline in the wireline business.
The stock was up 0.27% to $51.05 in pre-market trading on Thursday.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
- VZ's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 4.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 5.7%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry and the overall market, VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry. The net income increased by 87.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $2,246.00 million to $4,214.00 million.
- The gross profit margin for VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC is rather high; currently it is at 61.61%. Regardless of VZ's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, VZ's net profit margin of 13.38% compares favorably to the industry average.
- VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC has improved earnings per share by 30.8% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC increased its bottom line by earning $4.00 versus $0.31 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 11.5% in earnings ($3.54 versus $4.00).

Inflation Data Sink Stocks
Updated from 4:18 p.m. EST
Stocks in the U.S. fell Friday as the latest round of inflationary data led investors to fear that the Federal Reserve might be reluctant to lower rates again.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 178.11 points, or 1.32%, to 13,339.85, and the S&P 500 was down 20.46 points, or 1.37%, at 1467.95. The Nasdaq Composite was off 32.75 points, or 1.23%, at 2635.74.
The major averages finished with losses of more than 2% over the five sessions, ending a two-week winning streak.
Breadth was negative. On the New York Stock Exchange 3.36 billion shares changed hands, and volume on the Nasdaq reached 1.94 billion shares. Losers beat winners roughly 3 to 1. "Technically, this is a bad place for the market to close, especially on a Friday," said Paul Mendelsohn, chief investment strategist with Windham Financial. "There was nothing today that was really positive. There was a lack of buying, and we may see that problem as people window-dress from here until the end of the year." The decline followed a hotter-than-expected read on inflation at the retail level. The Labor Department's consumer price index rose 0.8%, compared with expectations of a 0.6% increase. The core number -- which excludes food and energy -- climbed 0.3%, slightly above estimates. Investors fear that the unexpected jump in the CPI affirms the Fed's concerns of rising inflation and dampens the hopes for any further rate cuts. The central bank reduced the fed funds rate by 25 basis points on Tuesday but noted higher energy prices as a potential concern for inflation.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Why did VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS) not initiate a failover when the system was shut down?
Some important notes to remember while testing VCS failovers with versions before VCS 1.3.0.
A machine shutdown is *not* viewed as a failure and will not initiate a failover. This is true for all "init", "halt", "reboot", "shutdown" and "uadmin 2 0" commands. These commands are viewed as regular administrative operations and not as failures so no other node in the cluster will attempt to takeover the applications. To make sure that the applications are always available, the applications must be manually switched over prior to shutting down the node.
Alternatively, the command "/sbin/gabsync" can be issued to start off a 2 minute timer during which all shutdowns will be treated as failures. The applications will be failed over successfully should a shutdown be initiated in this 2 minute window.
The best way to test if the applications are indeed failing over is to issue a Stop-A on the node, or to kill the application process through a kill -9 command.
Starting with VCS 1.3.0 administrative shutdowns will cause a failover.
