Island paradise
Quiet beaches, seashells, mangroves and biking on Florida's Sanibel
SANIBEL, Fla. -- Visit the beaches on this Gulf Coast barrier island and you're likely to see people doing the Sanibel Stoop. That's the term for the bent-at-the-waist posture used to collect seashells on Sanibel Island, which bills itself as one of the best shelling locations in the world.
The island also offers 24 kilometres of beach, 35 kilometres of bike paths, and the largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystem in the country. While other beach destinations in Florida might attract partying spring breakers or glamorous fashionistas, Sanibel proved to be the perfect spot for a family looking for a quiet beach retreat at the height of spring break revelry. What we didn't find was nightlife, high rises, chain stores, fast-food burger joints, traffic lights or insects.
Even travel guru Arthur Frommer, who's seen more than a few beaches, has named it a favourite destination, calling it an "idyllic haven of white-sand beaches" with "thousands of birds of every species."
The first sign that we'd hit on something special came soon after we landed at the Fort Myers airport, where tourism kiosks handed out free pocket-sized Lonely Planet travel guides to the area.
The drive from the airport west to Sanibel generally takes less than an hour, but timing is everything. A toll bridge connects Sanibel to the mainland, and the morning rush hour heading on-island and evening rush hour heading off-island can add another 45 minutes onto the trip during high season, which begins mid-January and peaks mid-March through mid-April.
We stopped en route at one of the several Publix markets to stock up on groceries for our rented condo. But it turned out that two markets on the island, Jerry's Foods and Bailey's General Store, will deliver items ordered online to your rental for $25. Groceries also proved largely unnecessary once we discovered the calibre of local restaurants and opted to eat out most evenings. Traders Cafe and Mad Hatter, both innovative and outstanding, took reservations. Others had "call-ahead seating" which put our name on a waiting list ahead of the walk-ins. The rest generally had a wait of up to 30 minutes.

With as many as 30,000 people on the island during high season, biking is the easiest way to get around. But here's a tip: Friends don't let friends ride at night without lights. Knowing that we'd be biking, we brought our helmets (required by law for children under 16), along with small headlights and taillights for our bikes. Even so, with no streetlights on the island and plenty of pedestrians and cyclists on the paths after dark, the trip home proved hairy.
Some hotels provide bikes for their guests and the bike rental shops on the island will deliver and pickup for a fee. It pays to shop around as prices vary. Beach equipment can also be rented.
Golf, tennis and fishing are also popular options on the island, but no trip here would be complete without two things: the beaches and the J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.
Over two-thirds of Sanibel is a nature reserve, with the refuge making much of it wonderfully accessible by car or bike. We opted for a 90-minute kayak tour through the mangrove, and almost immediately caught a brief glimpse of a river otter. An assortment of the 230 species of birds on the island from anhingas to woodpeckers kept us busy taking pictures, while our knowledgeable guide pointed out horseshoe crabs, flying mullet and a water snake.
We so enjoyed the trip through the mangrove that we returned later for a pontoon boat tour, where we saw manatees and more birds, but unfortunately, no dolphins.
The beaches themselves were lovely. The one we frequented was far from crowded, with room to play Frisbee or fly a kite without bumping into anyone. The waves were gentle and it was shallow for a long way out, making it ideal for children. Other beaches, like Blind Pass, have stronger currents and aren't suitable for swimming.
A small disappointment for us ironically was the shelling. The 16-kilometre long island is situated east-west, making the south side the place to scoop for shells being carried on the current from the Caribbean and other southern seas.
The beaches we explored had an infinite number of shells, but they were run-of-the mill cockles and clam. We didn't find any of the whelks, conchs, tulips and ceriths that feature prominently in the marketing brochures. Then again, we weren't beach-combing at dawn like the true devotees, nor did we follow the recommendations to check the tide tables, snorkel for shells or search after dark.
But there are plenty who do take the shell hunt quite seriously. Among Sanibel's claim to fame is a Guinness World Record for the largest treasure hunt, set last February when 478 people simultaneously did the Sanibel Stoop, searching for seashells.

This review is from: AMD FX-4350 Vishera Quad-Core 4.2GHz Socket AM3+ 125W FD4350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor
4.2Ghz clock speeds stock, quad core, large L3 cache. I had no regrets with this purchase, even with others saying it's a bad choice. If/when I upgrade this build, I'll build a second just to keep using it.
On top of that, it runs cool on a stock cooler with the stock thermal interface material
It doesn't make bacon. It runs too cool for that. :P

Buccaneer Energy announced Wednesday that it started producing gas from its recently-drilled Kenai Loop No. 4 well on Sunday.
Initial production rates are reported at 2 million cubic feet per day, but the company estimates the long-term rate could increase to 3 to 4 mcf per day. The well adds to Buccaneer's existing production at the field including the Kenai Loop No. 1, which is producing 6.5 mcf per day, according to a press release.
The Nikolaevsk girls came up with a big fourth-quarter effort to drop Unalakleet 45-34 at home on Tuesday.
Nikolaevsk was paced by Nianiella Dorvall with 17 points, while Unalakleet's Jonisha Wilson had 21 for herself.
The Warriors trailed 23-20 at halftime and 32-29 after three quarters, but outscored Unalakleet 16-2 in the fourth to put an exclamation point on the game.
The Warriors will play Seldovia next, at home on Friday at 6 p.m.
Unalakleet boys 68, Nikolaevsk 55
Kenai River Brown Bears goalie Marcus Zelzer was named the Combat Hockey West Division Star of the Week on Monday. It is the second straight week the Bears earned the Star of the Week, with forward Alex Jackstadt taking the honor the week before.
Zelzer backstopped the Bears to a 3-1 win and a 3-2 shootout win against the Fairbanks Ice Dogs on Friday and Saturday at the Soldotna Sports Center.
The visiting Nikolaevsk girls basketball team defeated Skyview 36-31 on Monday in nonconference play.
Skyview led 9-5 after a quarter, but Nikolaevsk had taken a 22-19 lead by halftime. Skyview coach Kyle McFall said the Warriors turned the tide by getting the ball inside.
Nianiella Dorvall led that effort for Nikolaevsk, putting in 13 points to lead her team. Samantha Reynolds pumped in 10 points for the Panthers.

Freddie's Roadhouse, located at Mile 16 Oilwell Road, is sponsoring snowmachine drag racing in the Caribou Hills this winter, and Sunday marked the sixth race in the season series of 11 races. Volunteers and the Caribou Hills Cabin Hoppers also come together to make the event happen.
Participating racers, who must be a member of the Kenai Peninsula Racing Lions, got a great day of snow Sunday. That, and the growing popularity of the event, drew the winter's biggest field, by far. Jeff Hanson was the day's big winner, taking four first places on the day.
A pair of local players made the 2013 Lady Lynx Prep All-Tournament Team. The tournament concluded Saturday in Anchorage.
In the Gold Bracket, Soldotna's Kaillee Skjold earned all-tournament honors, while Kenai's Justice English earned all-tournament honors in the Maroon Bracket.
The Nikiski girls took the overall title at the Homer Winter Carnival tournament with a 56-27 win over the Mariners on Saturday in Homer.
The Bulldogs, who were led by Rachel Thompson's 17 points on Saturday, recorded a 2-1 record over the three-day event.
Nikiski outscored the Mariners in every quarter to put the game away early. Along with Thompson, Emily Lynch and Alyssa Darch chipped in 13 and 12 points, respectively. For Homer, Madison Akers had eight points.
West Valley boys 80, Valdez 58
Soldotna came within one period of potentially taking home fourth-place honors at the ASAA First National Cup state tournament on Saturday, but before five minutes were up in the third period, Lathrop struck a blow to those chances.
In the end, the Stars went home empty-handed with a 3-0 loss to the Malamutes at the Curtis Menard Sports Complex in Wasilla.
Soldotna head coach Aaron Swanson said his team couldn't have played harder, and he was pleased with the effort level, even with the loss.
Dillon Jensen and Sadie Fox of Soldotna won titles at the Kenai Peninsula Borough Ski Meet on Saturday at Lookout Mountain in Homer, while the Kenai Central boys and Homer girls nabbed team titles.
Jensen won the 10-kilometer skate race with a time of 30 minutes, 58 seconds, while Travis Cooper of Kenai was second at 31:09. The Kards also received top-10 finishes from Jordan Theisen in fourth, Joe Bressler in sixth and James Butler in seventh in taking the team title.
About 14,000 residents were without power Saturday afternoon after a problem at Homer Electric Association's Bernice Lake substation in Nikiski, an official said.
"The situation at the substation created a voltage problem that automatically shut down 17 circuits that provide power to a total of approximately 14,000 HEA members," spokesman Joe Gallagher said. "The outage began at 1:48 p.m. and the affected area included parts of Nikiski, Kenai, Sterling, Kasilof and south to Homer. "

(About one of those moments when you need to do something, but thoughts are racing too fast and nothing seems to slow them down.)
Another episode, more distress
Finding myself in a bloody mess
Tried so hard, but lost my grip
Tried to stand up but once again I slip
At sea alone, I'm caught in a squall
Reaching for a reality I can't seem to recall
All eyes are on me damn it, why can't I get my senses?
It seems easy under the established pretenses
But I'm struggling just with survival
Yeah there's a shadow on my ceiling,
And there's a demon at my door
Forgive me please! I'm crying and begging
I'm on my knees without a floor
Falling and spinning, out of control
My room is a black hole, only the computer remains
A blank document on the screen
I try typing but the keys are missing
It's like nothing I've ever seen
I reach for my pills, Dexedrine and caffeine
I'm reaching for a piece of my sanity
They call it laziness, or accuse me of vanity
But the truth just goes unseen
Yeah there's a shadow on my ceiling,
And there's a demon at my door
Forgive me please! I'm crying and begging
I'm on my knees without a floor
I'm running to the bus, knowing pain to be in store
I've got a dozen excuses, but they've heard them all before
How can they understand? See that I'm not like them
I'm foreign to the world I live in, but they don't give a damn
They hear only whining and lies
Yeah there's a shadow on my ceiling,
And there's a demon at my door
Forgive me please! I'm crying and begging
I'm on my knees without a floor
An under achiever, a brilliant failure
A lazy smart ass they can't understand
I've invited them to look inside my mind,
But they always run, shocked by what they find
Run to condemn to my fate.
I beg and plead but don't succeed
But get no sympathy,
Just become a target to berate
Yeah there's a shadow on my ceiling,
And there's a demon at my door
Forgive me please! I'm crying and begging
I'm on my knees without a floor
Just one more chance? Please? I'm sobbing and pleading
On my knees without a floor
This poem, which may or may not be by him.. but I'm thinking it is.. but there is no proof as of yet.. pretty much says it all.. kinda scary, and foretelling.

White Blood Cells Vs Bacteria
White knight: Electron microscopic image of a single human Lymphocyte cell.
There are five main types of white blood cells – all constantly on the lookout for signs of disease and armed with various ways in which they can attack – but by far the most prolific are the Neutrophils and the Lymphocytes, which together make up between 87 and 94% of the white blood cells in our body.
Found mainly in the lymphatic system, Lymphocytes step up in increasing numbers in response to viral infections and tumour cells. Lymphocytes detect the foreign substances of germs in the body and produce protective antibodies and cells specifically designed to target and overpower them.
Mid-fight: Neutrophil immune cell engulfing anthrax bacteria.
Big shots in the body's fight against bacterial infections, Neutrophils circulate in the bloodstream, moving into infected tissue to attack the bacteria. Neutrophils take a more direct, 'hands-on' approach than Lymphocytes: after responding to chemicals released by bacteria and dead tissue cells, they rush towards the area of highest concentration, then surround and devour the offending cells, destroying them with powerful enzymes. Called phagocytosis, this vacuum cleaner-like process uses up so much energy that the Neutrophils die soon after, and their activity and death in large numbers forms pus.
Catch the bacteria: Neutrophil cell chases and devours Staphylococcus aureus.
While the majority of bacteria in the body are rendered harmless by the defensive efforts of the immune system, and indeed a few are beneficial, certain species of bacteria are pathogenic and a major cause of disease and death.
The line-up of infections caused includes tetanus, typhoid fever, diphtheria, syphilis, cholera, food poisoning, anthrax, leprosy and bubonic plague. The most widespread fatal bacterial diseases are respiratory infections, with tuberculosis alone killing about 2 million people every year, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, according to the World Health Organisation.
Engulf war: Neutrophil's phagocytosis of Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria.
Image 1993 in article by Kobayashi et al.
Each species of pathogenic bacteria has a range of characteristic interactions with its human hosts. So for example, a bacterial organism like Streptococcus can cause skin infections, pneumonia, meningitis, and even necrotizing fasciitis, the infamous – though rare – "flesh eating" infections – the subject of much sensationalist coverage in the media.
However, the irony is that it is normal for Streptococci to exist in the skin, mouth, intestine and upper respiratory tract of humans without causing any disease at all, and they are even a basic ingredient in Emmental, the famous Swiss cheese.

Ok my spikes stripped lower should be to FFL this week, but I don't look for it until the end of summer at the earliest. So looking to put a wish list together. I want a rifle that I can shoot a 100 plus yards. Thinking 18-20" with full length aluminum free float handguard. What uppers are good, what lower parts kit, what stock? Post pics of similar rifles. Any ideas?

I would get on the list for one these:http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-BFH-16-LIGHT-WEIGHT-Mid-Length-Upper-p/bcm-urg-mid-16lw-bfh-ss12g2.htm
there are a lot of good uppers to choose from. just try to search diferent brands and find one you like. stag, PSA, RRA, Daniel defense, lmt, go to websites and start looking up stocks. im a fan of magpul stocks myself.
if you want an excellent trigger i suggest a RRA match trigger. it can be bought seperatly or with a LPK. the LPK was about 180 i think the last time i looked. but the trigger is amazing. you can get pretty much any LPK though all depends on your budget.
Spikes has some nice LPK's, to be honest though I have used a lot of different manufacturers LPK's and have never had any issues with any of them. Some are fancier than others, better triggers will cost a lot more. A few have never trigger guards in them, but the meat and potatoes of them are pretty much the same.
You can get an Aero upper to put on it. I believe they actually make Spikes lowers for them anyway. You wont need an 18 or 20 barrel to get to 100. 16 inch barrels do that and more just fine. Now if you just WANT an 18 0r 20 barrel, then I would look for a nice Wilson, or if you dont mind polygonal rifling try black hole weaponry. I have never owned a rifle with it but I have a couple pistol that use polygonal rifling, they shoot fine. If you choose to go that route know that cast lead bullets are a no no, not that you would be using them in an AR anyway.
Lots of cool fore ends out there. I have an 18" bull barrel rifle I just finished with an Odinworks barrel and forend on it. Very happy with both so far.
The advice above is good too BCM makes good stuff.
I'm new to this too. Just recieved my Franklin Armory lower and want a 20 inch barrel.I ordered a complete parts kits from Rguns. Everything but the lower reciever should be in the kit. Don't order from them, I'm taking a big chance with them. I don't even know the twist rate of the barrel I'm getting. But if and when I recieve my parts I will use them until I can get a knights armory upper. I'll use the Rguns parts for another build. I've been following knights guns and I'm really impressed with their latest build. I love the new forarms they come out with. I know I won't be able to get it for awhile because everything is sold out.
Yea, I understand that. Their rifles are top notch, and the military needs their guns first.
Unless you're intent on shooting 300yds+ or need quarter-sized groups beyond 150yds, a well-built 16" ML will serve you quite well. At least that's my experience.
I currently own 7 ARs. Not one is over 16". I just don't like the extra weight and poor balance (front heavy) of longer options, with what I consider limited payoff. My precision range rifle is a 16" 1:8 stainless BCM ML, with a 2-7x32 Nikon scope...because honestly, I'm not looking for it to do cartwheels for me beyond 300yds. I want it to be awesome at 25-250yds.
It all boils down to what you want your rifle to do for you. If you intend 100% of its application to be benchrest shooting for the tightest conceivable groups, your criteria will differ from mine. And in that case, get the longer SS 1:8 barrel, spring for a high end scope and trigger, and weight is no concern.
Here is a CA based company for you to check out.
I bought a trigger for them once, seemed to do business on the up & uphttp://www.addaxtactical.com/store/pc/home.asp
Addax Tactical, San Fernando, CA.
Thanks. Anyone use rguns yet? Also which is better 1:7,1:8,or 1:9 twist?

Making Medicaid Managed Care Work: An Action Plan for People Living With HIV
This is an update of an earlier report also prepared by The National Association of People with AIDS (NAPWA), with support from the Foundation. That report was the product of a 1996 meeting of people with HIV, their advocates, and researchers designed to provide information about Medicaid managed care for people with HIV. This new report updates information to reflect changes in the policy and regulatory environment since that time.

We had lunch early December at this restaurant.
We ordered salads around the table. The salads were quite good.
I wouldnt mind going back to the restaurant again.
Only grabbed a quick latte before lunch. Nice and spacious with a light airy feel.
The coffee I had tasted good but certainly wasn't strong enough for my liking. The staff were very helpful and friendly providing a fast and efficient service. Just need a little more kick in my cup of joe next time.
Pleasant ambience, close to the railway station and buses. The food was good and reasonably priced, and the service was good but not invasive.
Good service, good food, pricey. Oh, trip planner wants me to arbitrarily lengthen this review past the point of necessity.
Food was terrible. We ordrred the steak and rib combo. The steak was extremely chewey and seemed a freezer steak. Ribs were okay but nothing special which warranted the $42 cost of the combo. Next was the garlic prawn pasta dish, overly creamy, no hint of garlic in the prawns. Only Bright side was that the staff were extremely nice....
Best risotto!! definitely order it, the proportions are large, even the entree size! definitely try it!
This is a great place! The service was very friendly and attentive. The food was just great and menu offered a wide range to suit different tastes.
We went here for breakfast and dinner because it was such a lovely place with easy-going and kind waiting staff.
Coffees were great too!
I would recommend this restaurant. We will be returning!
Located outside Westfields. Would not be hard to find, dined on a Tuesday night, restaurant wasn't packed but had a few customers. Was greeted politely, waitress that served us had excellent manners. She knew what was on the menu, was patient when we were making our decisions.
We ordered half kg beef ribs with hot chips and lamb dish served...
Yesterday we went to Toscani's for lunch. I requested the lunchtime ribs@ 19.95 Au$.& as I wasn't very hungry & asked if I could take 1/2 of them home. The 'helpful ' waitress said I could have a 1/2 rack instead. This then cost us 26.95 Au$ as she had taken it off the main menu....it sure wasn't worth it....what...
Quite a big venue, right underneath the Cinema's and opposite the train station at Parramatta. I had a pasta dish for my main and it was very big, and tasty, some pasta dishes you were able to order in a smaller size, which would have been great, but not the Seafood ones. The service here was very good, attentive without...

Maritime Security:
Progress and Challenges in Key DHS Programs to Secure the Maritime Borders

What GAO Found
GAO's prior work has identified several key factors important to secure the maritime borders. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its components have made progress (e.g., coordinating with partners), and in some cases also experienced challenges with their related maritime security programs.
Maintaining robust maritime domain awareness. It is critical that federal agencies maintain maritime domain awareness--the understanding of anything associated with the global maritime environment that could adversely affect the security, safety, economy, or environment of the United States. The U.S. Coast Guard has developed systems--including information-sharing and vessel-tracking systems--to enhance maritime domain awareness. GAO's prior work has found that the Coast Guard has made progress in developing its systems, but that it also experienced some challenges. For example, in July 2011, GAO reported that the Coast Guard had not met its goal of building a system intended to enable the sharing of information among its new offshore vessels and aircraft. GAO recommended that the agency take actions to address this challenge. DHS concurred and stated it planned to take actions.
Assessing risks coming from foreign ports. The security of maritime borders also depends upon security at foreign ports where cargo bound for the United States originates. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and the Coast Guard have developed models to assess the risks of foreign ports, foreign vessels entering U.S. ports, and the cargo carried by these vessels from these ports. In September 2013, GAO found that CBP has taken steps to enhance the security of U.S.-bound cargo, but CBP does not periodically assess the supply chain security risks from foreign ports that ship cargo to the United States. GAO recommended that CBP periodically assess the supply chain security risks from these ports. DHS concurred with GAO's recommendation and reported that it planned to take actions to address it.
Conducting maritime surveillance, interdiction, and security operations. Along the coasts and in ports, maritime surveillance, interdiction, and operations are conducted to ensure the security of the maritime borders. For example, CBP's Office of Air and Marine is to provide maritime surveillance and interdiction capabilities. In March 2012, GAO found that the office did not meet its national performance goal and did not provide higher rates of support in locations designated as high priority. GAO made recommendations to help ensure that the office's assets and personnel are best positioned to effectively meet mission needs and address threats, among other things. DHS concurred and reported that it planned to take action to address the recommendations by the end of March 2014.
Measuring performance. In securing our maritime borders, DHS and its component agencies have faced challenges in developing meaningful performance measures. For example, GAO's prior work found that they have experienced challenges collecting complete, accurate, and reliable data; among other things. In January 2011, GAO reported that both CBP and the Coast Guard tracked the frequency of illegal seafarer incidents at U.S. seaports, but the records of these incidents varied considerably between the two component agencies and between the agencies' field and headquarters units. GAO made a recommendation to improve the accuracy of DHS data, and DHS concurred and has made progress in addressing the recommendation.
Why GAO Did This Study
Maritime borders are gateways to our nation's maritime transportation system of ports, waterways, and vessels--which handle billions of dollars of cargo annually. An attack on this system could have dire consequences and affect the global economy. In addition, criminals could use small vessels to smuggle narcotics, aliens, and other contraband across U.S. maritime borders. Within DHS, the Coast Guard is responsible for many homeland security efforts in the maritime domain, including conducting port facility and commercial vessel inspections and coordinating maritime information-sharing efforts, among other things. In addition, CBP is responsible for screening incoming vessels' crews and cargo to facilitate the flow of legitimate trade and passengers.
This testimony identifies key factors important to secure the maritime borders, and discusses progress and challenges in related DHS programs. This statement is based on products GAO issued from July 2003 through October 2013.
What GAO Recommends
GAO has made recommendations to DHS in prior reports to strengthen its maritime security programs. DHS generally concurred with these recommendations and has taken actions, or has actions under way, to address them.

Here are five thoughts from the first period with the Bruins leading the Carolina Hurricanes by a 3-0 score after the first 20 minutes of action at TD Garden.
1) Rich Peverley snapped a 10-game goalless streak with his strike to open the game. Peverley snapped off an initial shot that Justin Peters deflected high off the glass, but Peverley was able to beat the slow-recovering Peters to the far post for the wraparound goal. Peverley has been in a weird place all season long, and getting dropped to the fourth line amid his struggles might be exactly the right impetus to get him going. The Bruins could certainly use a goal-scoring streak from a guy like Peverley that has yet to get really hot this season.
2) Wraparounds were the order of the day in the first period. Peverley scored his goal on a wraparound, and both of Brad Marchand's rebound scores game after wraparound chances by Gregory Campbell and Jaromir Jagr. Looks like the Carolina goaltenders have some work to do with the wraparound goals.
3) Watching Brad Marchand go hard to the net with the loose rebounds in front is exactly how it's done. Nathan Horton should watch some video of Marchand speeding toward the front of the net for the rebound and attacking the puck after he's missed countless open nets over the last two weeks by not bearing down on his shots. Horton's misses are all coming at key times in the game as well: the second period miss in Montreal could have tied the game and sent it to overtime.
4) Two assists for Jaromir Jagr: he is awesome when he's got the puck on his stick down low in the offensive zone. He also executed a nice shake-and-bake spin move on a Carolina defenseman that freed him up and then feathered a perfect pass to Johnny Boychuk, but the Boston defenseman couldn't handle the backdoor feed.
5) The Dennis Seidenberg/Andrew Ference pair with Seidenberg on the right side has looked good tonight, and the German defenseman has a pair of assists in the first period. After the B's looked like they were having major difficulty breaking out in the first half of the first period, things settled down nicely for them after they had the lead. It's only the third time in 11 games that the Bruins have produced a goal in the first 20 minutes.
Here are five thoughts from the second period with the Bruins leading the Carolina Hurricanes by a 5-0 score after the first 40 minutes of action at TD Garden.
1) Tuukka Rask has been excellent in this game: 30 saves in a shutout effort through two periods, and he helped spark Boston's first goal when he somehow made a 2-on-0 save with Jiri Tlusty and Zac Dalpe bearing down on him. That save opened things up for Rich Peverley's rush up the right wing, and opened the floodgates for Boston.
2) The Hurricanes have been outscored 19-4 in their last four games, and are getting shellacked by the Bruins tonight. They definitely have the look of a hockey club that's already setting up tee times in May despite being in the "anybody can win" Southeast Division.
3) A combined plus-7 and five points for Andrew Ference/Dennis Seidenberg defensemen pairing. They've been dynamite tonight, and some of it has simply been being in the right place at the right time: like Ference camped in front of the net after pinching offensively and having a Dennis Seidenberg shot bounce off him in front.
4) Only 8:46 of ice time for Tyler Seguin, who has a single shot on net and a pair of giveaways and hasn't looked very good for the Bruins. No. 19 needs to step up his game no matter what line he's on.
5) A combined minus-6 for Jordan Staal and Jeff Skinner. Not a lot of compete from either one of them after Tuukka Rask made an early kick save on a Staal backhander from the slot area.
Here are five thoughts from the third period with the Bruins beating the Carolina Hurricanes by a 6-2 score after 60 minutes of action at TD Garden.
1) Bruins once again letting down here in the third period when they had a team on the ropes. There's a disturbing trend by these Bruins to simply let up whenever the circumstances allow them.
2) Tyler Seguin deep in the doghouse right now with another so-so effort tonight against Carolina that saw his ice time get cut to . He had only one shot on net and a couple of giveaways, and otherwise was a non-factor.
3) Bruins have only scored on the power play once in their last 11 games. Flashbacks to the glory days of Kaberle.
4) Bruins still allowed 42 shots tonight to Carolina. They've allowed over 40 shots in three of their last four games. That's not an encouraging trend and points to a lot of work that still needs to be done.
5) Patrice Bergeron in the building to watch some of the Bruins/Hurricanes game. That's a great sign if he's out and about and feeling good enough to watch while waiting for things to settle down with his latest concussion.

Thanks to all for joining and hopefully see you next year in San Diego, 19th-22nd October. This year we were treated to over 70 expert speakers sharing their experiences in ADC development and over 600 members of the community participating.
Key amongst this year's themes was the challenge of translational research and the need to maximize the therapeutic window of ADCs. Significant progress in assessing toxicity, learning from failures and optimizing efficacy were shared with over 15 clinical stage case studies and plenary talks, while the very best highlights from the 2014 program were:
"World ADC allows me to learn how others are innovating in the ADC field, which is simultaneously a humbling experience and a unique opportunity to expand on my own crazy ideas." Genentech
"World ADC is the premier ADC meeting, bringing together the thought-leaders, pioneers and next generation developments that will change how we treat diseases like cancer." Research Corporation Technologies
"The only conference I look forward to and delivers timely results every time." Regeneron
"Extensive, novel research topics were seen at World ADC 2014… Speakers sharing and showing their expertise was inspiring." Formosa Labs
"World ADC is the largest conference with an exclusive focus on ADC. It is an excellent chance to assess the field's direction and meet with other ADC companies." Tanabe
"The number one ADC meeting in the world!!!"Viventia
Work is under way to devise an even better program next year but we'd like your help. We need your feedback, ideas, recommendations, proposals and crazy suggestions to the meeting to the next level. Send us your thoughts, let us know if you can take a call or join us at one of our Mastermind Sessions. We hope to connect soon and for reference our next World ADC Masterminds in January so let us know if you want to get involved.

In Michigan people are often given jail for DUI offense AND placed on probation. When they get out they still must abide by the terms of probation or they could get additional time in jail. Talk to a NM attorney to find out if this is the case in your state.
2 lawyers agreed with this answer
Most attorneys do not do criminal defense pro bono. Any time there is any risk of jail time, a person charged with a crime has a right to an attorney paid for at public expense to represent him. This right includes the right to an attorney up to and including trial and appeal if there is a conviction.
You would want to review the order of probation. In Michigan, in my experience, if you committed an offense before you were placed on probation for another offense, the first offense will not be a reason to violate your probation for the second offense. Once your boyfriend is returned to the first state to face the violation charge, a good attorney should explain to the judge the reasons for the violation, that it was anticipated, and that he would have likely complied with all of the terms...
1 lawyer agreed with this answer
First you should get a transcript of the hearing. Once you have reviewed the transcript, look for ways that the judge refused to let you present your defense. If you had relevant evidence to present and the judge did not allow you to present your evidence, an appeals court may give you the opportunity for a new hearing or trial. You should consult a lawyer in your state that is familiar with traffic and criminal law and who knows the procedures for appealing traffic violations.
1 lawyer agreed with this answer
Before doing anything you should consult with a lawyer licensed in Tennessee. The Standardized Field Sobriety Tests that many police agencies use throughout the country are not fair tests, and they do not simulate anything that most people do in their ordinary everyday lives. An expert can determine if these tests were adminsitered properly by the police. When choosing an attorney, I would look for a criminal defense attorney that specializes in DUI defense, preferably a member of the...
1 person marked this answer as helpful
You have a constituional right to a speedy trial. How to enforce this right will be based upon the application of Louisiana Law. Contact a lawyer ASAP to discuss the laws of your state based upon the right to a speedy trial and the right to reasonable bail/bond.
Hire an attorney to file a lawsuit against the police to return the property back to you. You may want to do so quickly so the vehicle is not auctioned off. Also, your attorney should be familiar with the forfeiture laws and procedures for your state.
Contact a traffic/DUI attorney in Ohio to try to get you out of this mess. Don't go in to court alone on this one.
The Chapter 7 Means testing is based upon the average income in your state for each family size. To caculate annualized income, you take the six month period previous to the date that you file for bankruptcy. If you higher income commissions were more than six months ago, and your annualized income over the most recent six months is lower, then you may very well quailify for a Chapter 7 bankrutpcy. Contact an experienced bankruptcy attorney to see if you can qualify.
Once a bankruptcy case is closed, the automatic stay for collection of debts is lifted. You many want to check to see if they re-filed, or the case was possibly converted to a Chapter 13. If so, there is still an automatic stay preventing from contacting the debtor to attempt to collect a debt. As always, it is best to contact an experienced bankruptcy attorney before you go forward with the collection of your debt.

Hint of Spring
This picture from my calender inspired this table From 2013-02-02 (by Eye-Fi)
I kept the table very simple, using these sparkly daffodils from Big Lots to Hint at Spring. Oops, forgot to iron the table cloth. From 2013-02-04 (by Eye-Fi)
The salad plates are purple, but appear black on my monitor.
So I used some scrap booking paper for a touch more purple. From 2013-02-04 (by Eye-Fi) From 2013-02-04 (by Eye-Fi) From 2013-02-04 (by Eye-Fi)
I'm sure, using more purple and some bunnies, this could easily become an Easter table.
This post was edited by nana2010 on Tue, Feb 5, 13 at 10:10
I can see why that calendar picture would inspire you Nana..
Your table reflects the pretty color combination from it and
I like the layering of color you did with your plates.
Makes me sigh hoping for an early Spring.
BTW...I don't see wrinkles on your TC !! lol
Nana, wonderful job recreating from your inspiration calendar picture. Love the bright yellow vase and leaf dishes. Neat the way the color reflects from the table on your stems. Are they iridescent or clear? The purple plates do look black on my montitor too. I would of thought the purple were plates too if you hadn't said differently. Great job and spring will be here soon.
Beautiful calendar pic & a beautiful centerpc replica! The yellow & purple combo is beautiful tog ... thanks for that reminder of using 'scrapbook' paper ...looks great! The bright yellow leaves are very cool! Happy Spring table!!! Yes, some baby chicks running around here would make it into an Easter (which is early this yr) TFS, nana! Jeanne S.
Thank you everyone.
Thanks OA, I planned to do this table for Ground Hog Day but...
Jane, I can't wait for Spring either, The tablecloth wasn't wrinkled, just creased along the fold lines.
Punk, I'm glad you like the table. The stems are iridescent.
Jeanne, Baby chicks would be really cute. I think I only have 2. Does that mean I have to go shopping? LOL
Marlene, I got those bowls In the clearance section at the grocery store 1/2 price yay.
I'm so glad you are doing so well with your PT.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you all again.
What a pretty calendar picture! And what a lovely recreation you did of it on your table. The colors are so soft. Nice job!
hugs, Karen

New Times: What did you plan for the stage show on this year's tour?
Rob Zombie: Without giving away any surprises, it's huge. It's a big stage show, and we've got more things than ever before. I do have one new thing that I'm doing, but when people see it, they're going to want to do it. Everybody from Slayer to Beyoncé is gonna want to rip it off it's that good. So I don't want to say too much about it right now.
NT: Your wife, Sheri Moon, has served as an inspiration for a lot of your visual work and appeared in several of your videos. Does she also tour with you, and is she a part of the stage show?
Zombie: Yes, she always comes on tour, and she's in the show. We always have go-go girls on stage, and she's one of them.
NT: Your songs have been used as theme songs for a number of WWE wrestlers, and sports entertainment seems to be an early inspiration for you. Who are your favorite WWE wrestlers?
Zombie: Well, it was the WWF when I started watching, but I liked Andre the Giant, Chief Strongbow, Bruno Samartino, Mil Mascaras . . . but all those guys are dead or retired now.
NT: "Superstar" Billy Graham lives here in Phoenix. I saw him at a Kmart.
Zombie: Really? That's interesting. I ran into Bruno Samartino at the Italian Festival in L.A., and he had a huge plate of food. That was pretty cool.
NT: What was your reaction when Educated Horses leaked onto the Internet before its official release after the live stream "listening party"?
Zombie: I didn't know that until now, but now I'm furious (laughs). That just goes with the territory, I guess, and you can't do anything about it. If it doesn't leak before it's released, it'll leak within the first five minutes of its release, you know?
NT: What's your set list look like for your Phoenix show?
Zombie: It's a mix of everything some new stuff, and all the songs I figure people want to hear to make 'em happy. I'm sure somebody will still be unhappy or upset that I didn't play a particular song, but I try to incorporate a good mix of material.

Need an Ipubrofen
Sorry to all y'all northern zone gardeners ... but for those of us in hot, hot Texas, it's gardening time! Ohhh, my aching bones!
Finished my garden walking paths (cardboard and mulch), laid cardboard and 8 bags of mulch in an area where I'm trying to kill undesirables, side dressed my perennials with 1/2 yard of compost, cleaned up my street gutter (which was, quite literally, growing volunteers oaks in the sludge/compost leftovers from the fall!), planted more spinach, beets, carrots and bok choi ... even tidied my garden shed. Ok, just a little, but I did do some tidying.
Oh Lordie, with my glass of vino this evening, I am definitely needing an ibuprofen.
Let the 2013 garden season begin. Yay!
roby_tx - Commiserations and cheers. But is there any reason why these jobs can't be spread over the winter in your climate? It seems that lots of them are routine maintenance and could be done gradually rather than in one big splurge at the start of 'gardening season.' In my temperate climate I potter all winter so that there isn't a big effort all at once in the spring. Things like mulching, pruning, weeding and digging can be done in mild spells long before it's warm enough to sow or plant. All year is gardening season if you spread out the chores.
I have been busy this weekend too. The weather was unseasonably warm, so I spread 3 pickup loads of manure around my expanded garden area by hand (meaning- shovel, wheelbarrow, rake and muscle). I have one more pile to spread, but haven't decided where to put it. Also cooked and fed three kids their meals and squeezed in a game of mini golf. I spent last night cuddling a glass of wine in front of my fireplace, contemplating all the rototilling in my future :)
Isnt it great to have a productive weekend?!
Ha! I'm in DFW as well. A few weeks ago we set up our first raised beds, filled them, planted some early veggies (snap peas, lettuces) ... now it's time to weed. :(
On a side note ... I've been so pleasantly surprised by the weather the last few weeks - consistent 50s and 60s during the day. I don't think I've ever seen weather here so consistent during the cool season. It's not 75 one day and 35 the next? Strange omens ...
I am a weekend warrior with my garden and usually ended up feeling very sore on Monday morning back at the office. With yoga three days a week, I find now that I am much stronger, more flexible, and can accomplish many task in the garden on weekends.
Stop bragging about your warm weather. It makes me jealous. I am tired too because I was out all day in sub-freezing weather fixing my greenhouse with some insulation. I am looking forward for April and May Although the weather almanic says March weather will be 5 degree warmer so may be will get to 45 but predicting lots of rain. Not all crops need warm weather the Garlic isdoing fine in our freezing weather
You'd think I was the one drinking for the last week...I just NOW noticed how Robyn spelled ibuprofen.
Yep. I'm kinda sore today also. A tree trimmer dumped off a couple yards of chips in my driveway yesterday and I spent half the day hauling it to the backyard and building a compost pile. Next week, it's off to get a couple trucks of supplemental compost and mulch.
Spring is here!
LOL too funny on my spelling of ibuprofen. Seriously, I was on my first glass of vino on that one! I did spell it right later in the post. Still chuckling ...
Flora - yes, you can absolutely spread a lot out in our temperate climate. This time, however, I had 4 yards of compost sitting in my single width driveway ... and I have some fussy neighbors who don't take so kindly to piles o' dirt sitting for too long. :) Can't do anything during the week and I travel quite a bit, so it's weekend warrior for me. Had to dispatch the dirt! I prune, weed, putter, etc., almost every weekend.
Skeip, most of us Texans wouldn't know a snow shovel if it swatted us in the backsides. We've had snow 3 times this winter in Dallas, but less than 2" each time and it melts in a day's time. I'm thankful to not have to shovel snow. It makes my elbows hurt just thinking about it!
This is the time of year when I realize that those of us Up North are the last to plant. You'll be picking 'maters in Texas before mine are even in the ground. It makes me long for warmer climes.
But then, come the heat of mid-summer, those Down South might find themselves wishing they were up here. It all evens out. My aches & pains will wait for June. ;-)
Did I mention that this year is expected to be Solar Maximum? Should be another hot one. I'll be planting as if I am one zone higher this year... plenty of limas, okra, and Southern peas.
