Comments about Intense Tire Systems Intense Tires System 5 26" XC MTB Tire:
So far I really love these tires. The control on decents and cornering and climbing are great! They also shed mud pretty well. One of the first noticeable thing I noticed was the traction I got when I got out of the saddle to climb.
I have no complaints since I've only rode on them a few times.
I plan to buy other systen tires , so to say I would definitely recommend theses tires.

Comments about Intense Tire Systems Intense Tires System 5 26" XC MTB Tire:
I bought these tires based on past performance with Intense tires and the great price. I was looking for something wider than my previous 2.0 System 1s. These tires were easy to install and seated up nicely. They corner well and provide good control on the sandy trails I ride. I find the tread pattern too aggressive and they feel like they drag to me. These would probably be great for mud use.

These tires have replaced my beloved Aspens for a fraction of the cost. They roll fast and grip everything. I ride hardpack, sand, rooted areas wet & dry. 2.25 up front with 2.1 in the rear on my trusted rhyno lites at 30 psi and a good old Jenson cheap tube. No flats yet on my heavy DS bike. Try these out and you will not be disappointed.

Comments about Intense Tire Systems Intense Tires System 5 26" XC MTB Tire:
I'm using this tire on the rear for general xc use...except I weigh 250 geared up. The tire does well on climbs and corners on the back, and did a great job shedding mud so far on the two rides thus far that I've encountered it. In fact, the first experience I had with mud on this tire was a fairly fast corner. The system 5 broke loose predictably, and I never had that "uh oh, pucker up for a crash" feeling! I think ITS makes some pretty awesome tires, each one has their application, positives and negatives. The only negatives I've encountered are 1.) make sure your air pressure is adequate enough to keep from hitting the rim (again, I think I'm probably heavier than most - 38 pounds seems adequate, if you go by the riding weight divided by 6, I'm actually running less than that starting point). And 2.) the tire leaks air slowly the first couple weeks you have it installed, but that's pretty much on-par with most tires mounted tubeless until all the Tiny holes can be covered with Stan's.
The tire is surprisingly fast rolling, tough enough to take constant beating from rocks and roots, handles mud, dry loose climbs, and loose corners well. It's light weight, and with a little struggle the first time mounted up tubeless.

National team competitions
9-14, 13-20, 17-13, 25-15
Norrkoping Dolphins came storming back at the finish to snatch a 64-62 over Swedish neighbours Sodertalje Kings in Group C of the EuroChallenge.
The Dolphins trailed 58-51 with 3:08 left in the game, having been down by as many as 13 in the third quarter.
But Edgars Jeromanovs' three-pointer highlighted a 9-0 run that put them 60-58 up with 57 seconds left.
Dino Pita replied with a pair of free throws for the Kings, but Pavel Ermolinskij's lay-up restored the slim advantage with 25 seconds left.
Jeromanovs split a pair of free throws to edge them further clear, but Adnan Chuk hit both from the line to make it 63-62 with 11 seconds left.
Martin Ringstrom went to the line for the Dolphins but could only split his throws to give the Kings one last chance, which went begging when Pita was off-target with a late three-point attempt.
The Kings had led most of the game and several times built leads of 13 points, the last of which came when Tobias Borg's three-pointer made it 47-34 with 2:23 to go in the third quarter.
The Dolphins got themselves back into the game early in the third, with a 10-2 run closing the gap to 52-49 on Fred Drains' jump-shot.
Oladapo Ayuba led the Dolphins with 11 points and nine rebounds while Jeromanovs scored 10 and Anton Saks nine.
Borg had 19 points for the Kings, with Toni Bizaca adding 14.
"We were not getting the job done in the first three quarters. The Kings are very specific in what they want to run and did a good job. It was definitively another ugly game against the Kings, and they probably should have won today. We were horrible today, but the hard work ethic and the fact that we did not give up are important. At halftime I was really upset with our attitude. The guys were not playing for the team; they were playing for themselves. They were winning the rebound battle. They had 8 offensive rebounds that's a joke. We should never lose rebounds. That was the worst for me. But this was an important win."
Dolphins player Pierre Hampton"Great comeback. We showed more will in the end. It was not a pretty game, but we won and that is what counts. We came out with higher intensity in the second half. We have a deep team, and almost anyone can come in and do the work."
Södertälje Kings player Adnan Chuk"We lost by two points. It does not feel good of course. There was one period where we made mistakes and lost our game plan and that cost us. We were playing a very good game and had them the whole time but lost focus in the end. We have to step up when our best players are in foul trouble. Still, the Dolphins should get credit; they do not give up."
Södertälje Kings head coach Vedran Bosnic"It makes me very sad when we lose in the final minutes. At the same time I am very proud of my guys, how they played the majority of the game, and what they are doing. But they do have to play for 40 minutes. Five turnovers in the last quarter definitively turned the game around, but that is what happens in basketball. I really like how Tobias Borg came out and played really well for being so young."

New album: Morning Phase
Artist: Beck
Label: Capitol
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Beck's first LP release since 2008 (not counting the "Song Reader" sheet-music project in 2012) is being hailed/promoted as a companion piece to his sublime 2002 album "Sea Change." Marketing plans aside, the songs on "Morning Phase" are a welcome addition to the Beck cannon.
The short opening instrumental "Cycle" sounds like the sunnier end of the "Sea Change" track "'Round The Bend." The orchestral wash of "Cycle" leads into the gently uplifting "Morning." From the outset, you get the feeling that "Morning Phase" is the type of music a happier, better-adjusted Nick Drake would have made had he lived long enough.
A Neil Young influence creeps in on the slow acoustic stomper "Say Goodbye," right down to the banjo. "Blue Moon" plays like a down-home version of The Police, with soaring backing vocals that wouldn't sound out of place on an early Moody Blues album. The phased piano on "Unforgiven" is a ghostly reminder of the trippy Beck audio portraits of yore. In the past this audio trick would be used to add color, but now it adds depth to some of Beck's most straightforward, heartfelt lyrics.
The highlight of "Morning Phase" is "Wave," an eerie dirge featuring only Beck's reverb-drenched vocals and an orchestra that sounds as if it accidentally doubled it's Xanax dosage. Just as "'Round The Bend" did for "Sea Change," "Wave" anchors "Morning Phase." Another short orchestral instrumental highlight ("Phase") pulls everything back into dreamland until the closing "Waking Light" lets in a murky ray of sunshine.
Beck outgrew the hipster funk of "Loser" a longtime ago, and hopefully his fans will as well. "Morning Phase" doesn't necessarily eclipse Beck's stellar "Sea Change" or "Mutations" albums, but it does rest comfortably alongside them. It'll be interesting to see what comes next.
Classic album: Sign 'O' The Times
Artist: Prince
Label: Warner Bros.
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Prince graduated from celebrated R&B curiosity to bona fide pop/rock genius with the release of "Purple Rain" in 1984. For a while, the Purple One was able to straddle pop, rock and R&B radio playlists with ease, but after the pixie dust settled it was evident that Prince was having a personality crisis.
Tried and true Prince fans - much like Frank Zappa devotees - appreciate every bit of music he's ever recorded. But for the masses who pushed him up into the same airspace as Michael Jackson for a brief time, all they wanted him to do was make "Purple Rain" over and over again.
To some, Prince is the master musician who can tear it up on a guitar with the best of them. Then there's the impish, Syd Barrett via George Clinton funk side of Prince along with the introspective songwriter side that worships the work of Joni Mitchell. Throw all of these elements together, and you've got a talented guy, albeit one who had trouble deciding who he was when he released "Sign 'O' The Times" in 1987.
A sprawling double album that attempts to showcase all of Prince's considerable talents, "Sign 'O' The Times" is brilliantly schizophrenic. One minute there's a party going on ("Housequake", "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night"), then there's some freakazoid relationship issues ("If I Was Your Girlfriend", "Strange Relationship") and even a love song to God ("The Cross"). Even if you didn't like the man's music, you could never accuse him of being one-dimensional.
Much like famous hodgepodge albums such as The Beatles' "White Album" and Zappa's "Uncle Meat," there's a lot going on here, but there is no law that says every album has to follow strict guidelines about mood and content. "Sign 'O' The Times" plays like a mix tape someone might make for a friend who'd never heard Prince's music. Even the fuddiest duddy would have to admit Prince hit home runs with "Sign 'O' The Times" tracks such as "You Got The Look" and "Play In The Sunshine."
The only thing keeping "Sign 'O' The Times" from being a five-star album is its production. This album couldn't be pulled out of the 1980s with a Mac truck.
For all of Prince's genius, the tacky electronic drums and overly-slick late production are tough to ignore. At the time of the album's release, these were the sounds of the day, but time has not been a friend of the stagnant drum machine heard on the title track. Prince managed to produce songs with timeless instrumentation on "Purple Rain" and "Around The World In A Day," but for some reason he dipped the brilliant "Sign 'O' The Times" material in the cheesey, flavor of the week recording techniques that were popular at the time.

So, assuming animals are currently unaware that they're acting in a homosexual way. . . what are you suggesting would compel them to stop doing it if they were to become aware? If it was "natural behavior" for them before, what would now make them feel it's unnatural?
Animals are unaware that they are acting homosexually. I'm not saying they would stop even if they realized it. The second question is hard to answer because we're talking about animals and not people. The point is that animals adapt behaviors over time that ensure their survival. Same sex sex is not one of them.
Honestly, I believe homosexuality is a symptom of civilization. Just like an assortment of other harmful things: drug and alcohol abuse, diseases, famines, war, etc. Pornography perverts the mind and so does sexual molestation. The media perverts minds as well. As we grow up we are exposed to all of this stuff and it makes us who we are.
Whether someone "chooses" to be gay or is "born" that way…you know, who am I to make that determination. But all I want to get across is that to say there is no choice and that we are predestined to be a certain way is to rob us of the chance to be the way we were meant to be. And any way you slice it, you cannot say that men were "meant" to be with men.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Chairman of the U.S Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released the following statement on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' May 2012 jobs report showing that 69,000 total nonfarm jobs were added and the unemployment rate was little changed at 8.2 percent:
"Today's report shows that the private sector has added jobs for 27 consecutive months, but the slow rate of growth makes it clear more needs to be done. The economy is still not adding jobs quickly enough and stronger job growth is needed to lower the unemployment rate.
"Coupled with the modest job growth is a discrepancy in wages earned between men and women. Nationally, female workers earn only 82 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. At a time when one in three employed moms is the only source of earnings in her family, this gender wage inequality threatens the livelihood of struggling families across the nation.
"This is why I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote for the Paycheck Fairness Act when the Senate takes up this legislation next week. The legislation will help close the pay gap by strengthening the original Equal Pay Act, which prohibits gender discrimination in the workplace. In addition to barring employers from punishing employees for sharing salary information with co-workers, the legislation develops training programs to educate women on how to negotiate compensation packages.
"There is no justification to shortchange women for the same work that men perform. Closing the pay gap will help families make ends meet and will provide a much needed boost to our economic recovery."

Our insulation advice may seem counterintuitive. On energy-efficient radiant heat flooring, ignore all the standard sustainability advice about maximizing insulation R-values. You need more heat to come through the floor, so lower R-values are better. On the other hand, maximize sound insulation no matter the flooring or sub-floor. Wool and cork block both sound and heat, so they are not a great option for radiant heat applications, but highly recommended for other floors.
Don't forget to consider sustainability when choosing an underlay for floating floors. Cork, recycled rubber, and wool are among the many green flooring underlay options.

Archbishop Murphy manhandled
Wildcats' offense shut down in 21-0 playoff loss to Tumwater
The Wildcats made the two-and-a-half-hour drive south to Tumwater, where they ran into a tall, physical Thunderbirds defense that shut them out in a 21-0 2A state quarterfinals game at Tumwater District Stadium.
"You just look at how tall they are. How big they are. How active they are with their feet," said Archbishop Murphy coach Mike Pluschke. "Not only are (the Thunderbirds) playing at the top level they could be playing right now, and (then) we caught them in a home game situation where we spent two-and-a-half hours in bumper-to-bumper traffic."
When Murphy finally arrived at the stadium at 5:15, they were greeted by junior running back Christian Cummings who ran 19 times for 139 yards and a defense that held its potent rushing attack to 174 yards.
It didn't help when senior Wildcats' running back Hans VanderWel was injured on the first play of the game after an 11-yard run.
"First play of the game (he got a) broken collarbone, or dislocated," Pluschke said. "We're not sure what the verdict is. We just knew he was done right away. It's a huge, huge loss right off the bat in the game."
That left the bulk of the running game to Alex Galgano. The senior ran the ball 26 times for 142 yards.
"Alex did what he just does," Pluschke said. "He just runs so hard. I'm so sad to see that kid's season and career end. There's not a lot like Alex Galgano."
Galgano, who also completed the only pass of the game for Murphy for 29 yards on a halfback pass, said he was going to run hard as long as he was asked to until the last second of his final high school game while trying to get Murphy back in it.
"It's never over till the clock hits zero in the fourth quarter," Galgano said. "I always thought we had a shot. It's just hard. We put so much into it. We didn't think we were going to get this far. It's been a (heck) of a ride."
Tumwater's offense came alive in the second quarter, when quarterback Jayden Croft hit Andrew Brown for a 36-yard touchdown pass. Croft hit Brown for another touchdown, this time a 25-yarder, later in the quarter.
Croft finished five-of-nine for 85 yards with the two touchdowns and an interception by the Wildcats' Conner Longoria.
The Murphy offense had trouble getting anything going against a tough Thunderbirds' defense, and when it did get rolling, the Wildcats turned the ball over.
Archbishop Murphy fumbled the ball three times, and lost possession each time.
"Every time we seemed to get a little momentum we shot ourselves in the foot with either a missed assignment or an unlucky situation," Pluschke said.
Ricky Gordon, another senior running back for Archbishop Murphy, also limped off the field with a leg injury. He continued to play, rushing the ball seven times for 23 yards.
"I really have to give it to Ricky though. He was hurt," Galgano said. "I just don't have words for it."
Murphy's best chance for points came on a field goal attempt as the first half ended. With two seconds left, the Wildcats missed a 36-yard attempt and went into halftime trailing 14-0.
That was the score most of the way, until the Tumwater defense forced its third fumble when the Wildcats were desperately trying to get something going on offense. Korye Trejo grabbed the ball and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown. It was the Thunderbirds' defense's 58th point that it's scored this season, breaking a school record.
"That's a good football team," Pluschke said. "Up front, they physically handled what we were doing. I think that's the first time in a long time that we've had that much trouble up front."
The loss ended a wild season for Murphy, that saw the Wildcats with two losses and as many coaching changes by week five of the season. Galgano said that regardless of what happened on and off the field, the pride of the Wildcats made them keep fighting on.
"We're Murphy. That's what we do," Galgano said. "It's a deeply-rooted tradition, no matter who's coaching. Just the players are great. The coaches are great. The community just bands around the team. We know how to win games. So it's nothing new."
Galgano envisioned a pretty sad bus ride back, with less traffic, and lots of team bonding on the final road trip of the 2012 Murphy season.
"It's probably going to be a lot of singing," Galgano said. "I might start crying. I'm not that emotional I don't like crying but it's probably going to happen. There are going to be few dry eyes on the bus."

Put Your Ideals Into Practice: Doctors Without Borders Info Session - New York
- Charity & Causes
- 333 Seventh Ave, 3rd Floor Conference Room, New York, NY, 10001
Access to the Danger Zone Film Screening, Philadelphia
Doctors Without Borders
Thursday, November 14, 2013 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (EST)
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED FOR THIS SOLD OUT EVENT, however we do anticipate some no-shows. We will have a stand-by list at the theater, managed on a first-come first-served basis. If you are interested in attending this event, please come to our check-in table to add your name to our stand-by list.
Directed by Peter Casaer and narrated by Daniel Day-Lewis, this new documentary provides a harrowing look at the challenges of delivering humanitarian aid in armed conflicts.
Over 70 minutes, Access to the Danger Zone explores the strategies that Doctors Without Borders has employed to save lives in the world's worst war zones, including Afghanistan, Somalia, and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo—strategies that are tested each and every day. Interviews with key experts from Doctors Without Borders, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the United Nations are accompanied by dramatic footage shot in these countries in 2011 and 2012.
After working continuously in Somalia since 1991, Doctors Without Borders was forced to close all of its medical programs in the country in August 2013. In response to what became an intolerable series of attacks against its staff and facilities over the years, the organization made the difficult decision to withdraw from Somalia, illustrating the profound challenges of maintaining humanitarian access, and underscoring the timeliness and relevance of this film.
Join us following the screening for a Q&A with local Doctors Without Borders aid workers, who will share stories from their overseas assignments.
The film screening is free, fully accessible, and open to the public.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization working in more than 60 countries to assist people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe. For more information, please visit www.doctorswithoutborders.org.

Retired teacher to hike for daughter he lost to cancer

Jack Kendrick, of Edmonds, has endured a double dose of heartache due to ovarian cancer. First it took his mother when he was only 14; she was 42. Sixty-four years later, it took his beloved daughter when she was 42. Now, Kendrick is hiking to raise funds for ovarian cancer research.

First, his mother: She died in 1942, when he was only 14 years old. She was 42.
Sixty-four years later, in 2006, his daughter, Michelle, died, also at age 42.
Jack Kendrick was by the side of both women when they died.
"It was pretty devastating," he said. "I was thinking a year ago, 'Maybe there's something I could do.'"
Now, what can an 85-year-old retired junior high school teacher possibly do to cure ovarian cancer?
Well, he's taking a hike.
He's training to spend several weeks backpacking the Pacific Crest Trail in the Cascade Mountains in late July. A buddy from college (University of Washington, Class of '62) is going with him all the way. A son is joining them on the first leg starting at Goat Rocks Wilderness and hiking north.
Kendrick figures they can do 10 miles a day.
"My goal is to do at least 100 miles," he said. "I'm in pretty good shape for my age. I've been blessed with a good body."
And a good mind. "I have this philosophy. I tell people: 'Old age is like freezing to death. If you keep moving it doesn't happen as fast,'" he said.
"Maybe I'll do 200 miles."
Kendrick taught biology in Shoreline and has lived in north Edmonds for 60 years. His two sons, Michael and David, live in Snohomish County and a daughter, Cindy, lives in Burien.
Daughter Michelle was an English professor at Washington State University in Vancouver. That's why he approached Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Oregon & SW Washington with his "Hiking for Michelle" campaign.
"She was a very popular professor," said Diane Rader O'Connor, president of the cancer nonprofit based in Vancouver. "She was beautiful and talented. She had everything going for her."
It wasn't enough to defend her from what O'Connor terms "the deadliest of the gynecologic cancers."
"Ovarian cancer is typically not found until later stages," she said, "because it is difficult to diagnose and there is no screening test."
Kendrick said after Michelle's diagnosis she learned she carried the gene that sharply increases the chances of ovarian cancer. He suspects his mother, Grace, also had the gene defect.
He hopes his hike will somehow help future victims.
"Hiking for Michelle" has already raised about $4,000 in pledges and the hike is still six weeks away.
"When I started out I thought maybe $3,000," he said, "but it is going so well maybe double that."
Kendrick has stayed busy since leaving the classroom in 1990. "If I sit around watching television I get logy," he said. "I ran five marathons after I retired."
In 1996, he went with Michelle to run the Boston Marathon. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2001.
"It was a repeat of what had happened to my mother," he said. "My daughter slowly wasted away. I was there when she died. She died at home."
Kendrick credits his mom with sparking his adventurous spirit as a teen. "After my mother died, I was devastated for three years," he said. "I got into reading true adventure stories as an escape. That sort of set me up for the rest of my life. I was always looking for adventure.
"A high school friend and I got involved in The Mountaineers. That probably saved my life. I had a peer group. There was no smoking or drinking. It was all about keeping in shape."
His genius wasn't always tempered with wisdom. When he was 21, he and a friend paddled a canoe from Washington to Alaska -- and lived to tell about it.
"We were gone two months. We did not have a brain in our heads but we had lots of muscle," he said.

The fact that "Straight Out Of Hell" is explosive stuff was a given before the release – but that the album would have such an impact is simply unbelievable: "Straight Out Of Hell" has just hit #4 in Germany and scored the highest position in band history!! This sensational chart entry wouldn't have been possible without those 990,000+ fans on Facebook and everyone else at their computer desktops and sales counters. And now, international metal heads should be putting on their protective gear as well: "Straight Out Of Hell" is at #2 in the international album charts in Japan and enters the charts in Finland at #4 – more chart news to follow this week.But first things first: Here comes a huge, fireproof THANK YOU from the guys straight from Miami, where they are rocking the"70.000 Tons of Metal"-Cruise with full force, and will surely celebrate the big news from Germany adequately. Helloween will thank each and every one of you loyal Pumpkin-Heads on the world tour, kicking off in Barcelona on February 28.
The new blisteringly designed homepage that should only be clicked on wearing gloves for safety's sake, also went online accurately in time. It stems again from the highly dangerous armoury of David Bredebach and Jens Schulte. Meanwhile, the next Helloween-countdown is ticking on Facebook, where only a handful of Pumpkin Heads are missing for the cracking of the million mark. So, join in and stay tuned for the next chanting of Happy, Happy Helloween!
The hunger for the real deal is finally over: on January 18, 2013 "Straight Out Of Hell" comes with a blast in standard-format and premium packaging-limited edition, including two bonus-tracks. All ardent fans, who can't stand waiting anymore, will be able to click on to www.bild.de who in conjunction with www.metal-hammer.de for a full length album-pre-listening by tomorrow. There was also fire in the hole on Facebook, where close to a million fans have traced the album-track by track at their own risks. Since the 13 new tracks need immediate airing, the lads currently prepare for their co-headlining spot on "70.000 Tons Of Metal", the world's biggest metal-cruise, before embarking on a worldwide tour in February.2013 is going to be the Metal-year. With Helloween – "Straight Out Of Hell"!

Dog Malignant Histiocytoma
Dog Malignant Histiocytoma
What are histiocytes?
Histiocytes are one of the many different types of white blood cells. They are an important part of a dog's immune system. There are two distinct types of histiocytes: dendritic and macrophages. The dendritic type assists lymphocytes in the identity of foreign substances or altered materials. The macrophages will remove all damaged cells, clear intracellular pathogens and foreign bodies.
Cutaneous (skin) histiocytosis is a benign condition. Most will appear and disappear quite quickly. On the other hand, malignant histeocytosis is very different. They no longer look like the white cells in the tissues. They will display many signs of malignancy. They will appear either on the skin or spleen as a single tumor. It can also appear on multiple internal organs that can involve a dog's liver, bones, kidneys and even spleen. Middle aged Golden Retriever, Bernese Mountain Dog and Rottweiler are predisposed to this condition.
They appear as white or gray lesions. Sometimes they appear with some red spots that are based on the amount of bleeding or premature death of the cells. The lesions are not encapsulated, which means they are not confined.
Signs and Symptoms
Signs such as Dog Anorexia followed by Dog Weight Loss, Dog Lethargy and Dog Fever are the most common symptoms. Shortness of breath, or Dog Difficulty Breathing, as well as some neurological signs and lameness can also occur.
Treatment Options
Your initial visit with your dog to your veterinarian will include x-rays, ultrasound and a variety of blood tests.
The x-rays will allow the vet to visualize the mass in the mediastinum and also the potential for lung involvement. Enlargement or malformation of the other potentially affected organs can also be seen on x-ray. These would include liver, lungs and spleen.
By aspirating fluids from the affected area the vet can determine if the blood cells, both red and white, fall within normal parameters. Counts of the abnormal cells will determine the degree of the progression of the disease.
Immunohistochemistry is another form of test that will aid in the diagnosis of types of cancers. It will also assist your veterinarian in determining the prognosis. This is especially true with secondary tumors. Secondary malignant tumors are those that begin in one organ and metastasize to another. It is also instrumental in determining what is malignant and what is benign.
Various forms of chemotherapy have been used in combination. The survival times with these substances ranges from a few months to 5 or 6 years. Treatment varies from study to study and results will also vary from dog to dog.
Although Dog Cancer of any type is somewhat rare in dogs, when it does occur it can be a devastating experience for the dog's owner and family as well as the dog itself. Treatment can be very painful and prolonged. Discomfort is always there and steps need to be taken to keep the dog as comfortable as possible.
One of the most important steps in recovery is nutrition. This cannot be overemphasized. Proper diet will help restore energy levels and improve the general attitude of your dog.

Residential Cooking Oil Recycling Program at Forty West Landfill3/11/2012Residential Cooking Oil Recycling Program at Forty West Landfill
Hagerstown, MD (March 5, 2012) - The Washington County Forty West Landfill now accepts used and unused cooking oils from County residents for recycling. No commercial oils will be accepted from restaurants, cafeterias, or other similar businesses.
Cooking oils may be brought to the Forty West Landfill recycling area during normal facility hours, and placed into the designated tank adjacent to the recycle lot attendant building. Security is important so please see the attendant for access to the cooking oil recycling tank.
Program Guidelines: Any type of liquid vegetable oil may be accepted for recycling such as peanut, corn, canola, olive, and safflower. Please remember that animal fats and grease will not be accepted.
Please make sure the cooking oil is not mixed with other fluids such as water, petroleum products, or soaps. Place the cooking oils into a metal or plastic container with a tight fitting lid, but do not fill the container while the oil is still hot as this could cause the container to crack or split.
Other substances such as motor or lubrication oils are not accepted by this program. Tanks for recycling of petroleum based oils and grease are provided separately within the recycling area.
Helping the Local Environment: Used cooking oil is recycled into several valuable commodities including biofuels and animal feeds.
As a reminder, please do not pour used cooking oils into drains or sanitary sewers. Approximately 50% of all sanitary sewer overflow events are caused by used cooking oils, fats, and grease clogging the sanitary sewer system.
Thank you for your participation in our program. To learn more about recycling in Washington County visit, www.washco-md.net/DEM/solid_waste/recycling.shtm.

This is the full article that we talked about a few days ago. Meant to throw it up on the blog section earlier, but it slipped my mind somehow.
The first deadline has come and gone for potential Hornets owners to get involved in the purchasing process. Interest in the franchise is very strong, which is not surprising given the teams successful off-season on the business side. Also, because the Hornets are now owned by the NBA, we can expect a much smoother sale process than the last time around under George Shinn. Back then, issues around Shinns personal debts, cash flow, and estate planning added enormous complications. In addition, the lack of a Collective Bargaining Agreement at the league level added uncertainty.
This weeks deadline was an early step, whereby bidders were asked to submit their formal indications of interest. While not yet an end-game negotiation, it is still great news for Hornets fans to know that the process by which the Hornets will choose an owner has officially begun.
Equally encouraging is the breadth of interest. Bidders from 2010 have re-emerged (most notably, Benson and Chouest) plus there is significant national money that has come forward, committed to keeping the team in New Orleans. While Jamal Mashburns name has been previously mentioned, Hornets247 has also learned of another familiar NBA name that is assembling a group. A former NBA player, this individual also has a couple decades of coaching and GM experience, providing an interesting twist to his group.
Breaking Down the Potential Categories of Ownership Groups
1. Gary Chouest and company
Keeping the Momentum: In terms of turnover and changes to day-to-day operations, there would be fairly limited disruption within the organization, at least relative to a Benson purchase. Given all of the recent momentum, this is a good thing.
Known Commodity: We already saw the benefits of what Chouest brings as a minority owner in terms of his rolodex full of connections in Baton Rouge and in local industry. Chouest had an enormous impact on sponsorship, luxury suite, and club seating sales throughout his previous tenure with the Hornets.
Local Owner: Gary Chouest is a Louisiana guy and a basketball nut, which would mean there would be a very low chance the team would be moved at any point under his leadership.
Second Fiddle: Chouest has made it quite clear that Edison Chouest Offshore is his most pressing priority in the business world.
Tight Purse-strings: He is also not going to be a guy who is willing to lose lots of money for the chance at a title, which may be important since the new CBA did little to curb spending (and its only for six years )
Requires a Partner: In the past it has appeared that Chouest is unwilling to be the sole owner, or the public face of the franchise, so buying the Hornets will require coordination with at least one minority owner. More people = more complications.
No National Connections on the Basketball Side: Aside from his brief stint as minority owner, he has very little NBA experience or connections.
2. Tom Benson
Access to Financing: Benson owns the Saints outright with virtually zero debt. Considering the NFL just inked a new 10 year labor agreement and their television deal is astronomical, he pretty much owns a printing press. If the NBA required him to raise $300 million cash within the week, he would have bankers lining up to loan him the money. This access to capital means that Benson would not need to take on minority ownership, which tends to complicate matters.
Building an Empire: Benson is steadily building a real estate and media empire in New Orleans, having purchased fox 8 and being rumored to be interested in WWL radio.
Orderly Succession: Bensons succession plan appears to be in place, with a Board of Directors taking the reins of the Saints after he dies. Owning the Hornets could presumably fit neatly under this structure and ensure continuity for the next few decades.
Customer Service and the Fan Experience: While it may be tempting, at first blush, to consolidate a lot of the back office sales and support jobs of the Hornets and Saints in order to lower costs, this would be devastating to the Hornets ability to build on the success theyve had forming relationships with fans and sponsors. The Saints have a 70,000 person waiting list not because they do a great job marketing or in their customer support offices, or because they put on a great game day presentation, its because theyre the freaking Saints, this is Louisiana, and everyone in Merica loves football. One great things the Hornets have going for them is a very dedicated and hardworking business office that understands the specific challenges facing the team and the experience of overcoming them. The Saints on the other hand have a long history of ****-poor customer support and general neglect of corporate sponsors. Im convinced we will see a less fan-friendly Hornets franchise if Benson were to take over. People like to look past the Saints of the 1990s- 2005, but they were a poorly run franchise with a depressed fan base.
Second Fiddle: Its hard to imagine Bensons executives ever caring as much about the Hornets as they do the Saints. In my opinion it would in all likelihood permanently reduce them to second class status, since thats what they would be in the minds of Benson executives.
3. A National Group with Basketball Connections
At least one person in the mix is very familiar among NBA circles, and his name isnt spelled Mashburn. This person, confirmed to be leading a well capitalized group, has NBA experience and connections like nobody else whose name has even come up as a potential owner.
NBA Connections: The main organizer of this group was a player, head coach, GM, and has served in several other NBA roles throughout his 30 plus year basketball career. While not the primary money man, he brings a wealth of knowledge to any ownership group that nobody else in the current mix can even touch.
Commitment to New Orleans: Encouragingly, this group, like all of the others, will keep the team in New Orleans. The main investor has previous family ties to the region and intends to move here permanently. He is also open to adding local investors to his group to round out the picture.
Continuity on the Basketball Side: Despite his track-record as an executive, this potential part-owner would not plan to occupy either the role of coach or GM, leaving the power duo of Monty Williams and Dell Demps in place for the foreseeable future.
Not Local, At Least Yet. Theres nobody in this group who is currently living here, at least so far.
4. All of the Other Groups that We Dont Know About
The NBA runs a good process and has cast a broad net. At this point, well take anybody, just to get this whole thing over with. That said, I believe there are four groups who fall into this category currently. Figure them out and you win a prize! One could be Mashburn, but I really cant say either way. Jamal, if youre out there, let me know.
No matter who is ultimately chosen as the new owner, today is a great day for New Orleanians. We can now say with certainty that we are officially on the path to having a new owner, to signing a new lease, and to ensuring the sustainability of professional basketball in New Orleans for years to come.
The group that is chosen to buy the team in the end will be leaps and bounds ahead of the former owner, George Shinn, and will enable the Hornets to take the next step forward in their quest for the elusive Larry OBrien Trophy.

This is the full article that we talked about a few days ago. Meant to throw it up on the blog section earlier, but it slipped my mind somehow.

"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
Not that I know first hand but I doubt the veracity of the characterizations of the Hornets and Saints corporate offices. I've actually heard as much negative feedback regarding the Hornets' customer relations as positive -- arguably more negative. Their marketing to the region leaves a lot to be desired. Not saying the Saints are anything amazing. The product sells itself. But I haven't heard a lot of people having negative dealings with them.
Regardless of who buys the team they'll forever play 2nd fiddle to the Saints.
** Referring to the comment in the OP about Benson buying the team.
Yeah, even with an NBA title and years, they are going to play second fiddle. But it sure would be nice to have.
Here's a thing to ponder.say it's not Chouest, or benson. Say it is dell, or Dunleavy, or both. Dell's local connection is a brother that went to Tulane and Dunleavy has a wife that's a local - but both are 'based' elsewhere. Would them owning the team, and having a lease, worry you? Or would a slight local connection plus a lease erase any fears about a conspiracy to move the team? I'd be fine with it, a lease is a lease, and I've never seen a place to go to without a building in Seattle. But I know some people are going to worry regardless
One thing that never sat right with me on the lease was the ability to cancel the lease if attendance benchmarks weren't reached. That I understand, what bothers me is that the benchmarks have to be reached right after football season and not at the end of the complete season. It seems that attendance for the entire season should be a benchmark for fan support. I wonder if new Orleans is the only city that has to deal with this or is it throughout the league.
It seems unfair to me.
Dell will outsource the team to India.
Also, the period of calculation involves 2 years going back from 1/31 to 2/1, so you get 2 halves of the season during football and 2 halves not during football.
Also, I have yet to see an analysis that says football matters to the attendance in any in-season way, though I've done one based on one season (so weak) and was told of another I trust that says the effect is small to non existant.
Glad to get some information on the ownership possibilities. We definitely need to get that underway quickly and hopefully this will infuse new life into the season.
I meant to post this yesterday, but an attorney friend of mine that works with a lawfirm close to one of the parties involved said to look for something to be annoumced shortly - as in the next few days or week. Now before you bash me, I did not say this was fact or going to happen. I am just relaying what someone closer to the situation told me. Maybe Joe or 42 could reach out to their sources to see if there is any more movement???
He also speculated the league might want to make a bigger splash announcing right at or during the All-Star Break. His source within the discussions says that Stern wants to shove a new owner and long-term lease announcement down the throat of every media a** out there that has asked him "when is New Orleans moving or folding"?.
Again, this guy isn't directly involved, but his rumor mill is a lot closer to the action than mine, so I'll post it. He is a huge fan though so I don;t think he would spread anything not actually happening.
He said that all parties understand the urgency to finalize everything - especially since the team is in a full nose-dive. He also said the State will probably announce a new lease at the same time. He said there MIGHT some hesitency for the State to announce anything without knowing who they will be dealing with as owner (chicken or egg dilema - his words).
Again, I am not saying anything we don't already know. It just gets my juices flowing knowing this MIGHT be over soon.
There certainly seems to be a lot more "chatter" out there lately, but nothng solid, and nobody seems to "know" who it will be. The same names keep popping up, and people seem equally confident of it being Chouest or Benson. Just a guess, but I think people close to both of them are saying "it's us" without knowing what the big guy(s) are actually doing. Haven't heard anybody talk about a 3rd party like Dunleavy's group since he was in town, which seems like years ago...
Hornets247 tweeted out on Feb 4 that we'd have a new owner by trade deadline. I have learned through this whole process that getting your hopes up is foolish, but where there's smoke.....
hornets247.com @hornets247
One thing to keep in mind with Kaman situation: Hornets WILL have an owner before trade deadline and that can give Demps more freedom
A cryin' shame. The best things are all happening in March, but I'll be all over the east coast for much of March.
Mass Effect 3, MLB 12, deadline dealings, All-Star weekend, potential owner?
Just hoe I don't miss all of it.
Here's what I think is relevant:
1) All the candidates for majority owners have begun the wrangling
2) My knowledge about how the minority owners are set up is less specific, but I would guess the `factions' are set, and have heard things that seem to confirm this
3) Stern said:
"No, the timeline is really set by discussions that we're having with the state and the exposition authority that runs the building because we need a lease extension and we need the certain approvals that cannot be given or made until probably March or April."
The legislative session starts 3/12.
The picture that I see being painted is there will be an informal selection of the ownership group in February, then lease will be signed, the the formal transfer will happen. Announcements and leaks will happen whenever.
This sequence of events and coarse timeline is reasonable, is consistent with less detailed information that has been out there for a while from well-respected sources (older statement, so less precise . . . not picking), and does allow the prospective owner to weigh in on some decisions before the trade deadline.
It would not surprise me if the owner was selected already, if it were to happen today, or any time during February. I've not heard anything that I can confirm to my satisfaction, but others have said that the ownership discussions are beyond the point of just shopping around the best offer to see who'll call or raise.
Things change. Everything could fall apart, could get interesting, could get held up in politics, whatever. We know that, but this is what I know as of, say, earlier this week.
What are the odds a lease gets signed by the state or is good enough for the NBA? The northern districts used to balk all the time at giving the Saints a dime and some of those leases were difficult to get through.

I think this will get passed. I'm guessing there will be increased payments and some Arena rennivation. There is always gum-flapping, but in the end, the Arena is a money-maker with the Hornets there relative to the alternative.
Am I the only one who just wants this junk to be over with?
If nothing happens once legislative session starts then we should be worried.its amazing how little reporting the times picayune has done on this subject. If it weren't for this website the ownership and lease issue would receive no attention when in actuality it is the only thing that matters I n regard to this team. The games are meaningless this yr

Burton Pyro Gloves - Men's
There have been lots of stories with pyromaniacs in them.
But the "Trashcan Man" is one of the best. He's from The Stand, a film by Steven King, and plays a significant role. However, before he gets to the climactic ending, his story begins with a few disfigurations due to his fascination with fire. One of those is a gimp hand that awkwardly points away from his body at a 90-degree angle. The Burton Pyro Glove won't mutate you into a movie freak, but it might draw some similar attention. You'll be doing all kinds of hot moves thanks the horrifyingly waterproof combo of its DRYRIDE Ultrashell™ 2L fabric and DRYRIDE Insane Membrane™. You'll be fired up, too, with the Thermacore™ insulation and moisture-wicking fleece lining. And finally, you'll melt your face as you surf your apps with the NEW Screen Grab™ palm and its total touchscreen control. No really, it will all happen like that.
Key Features of the Burton Pyro Gloves:
- NEW Screen Grab Toughgrip™ Palm for Total Touchscreen Control: This Burton-exclusive PU synthetic leather has the tech built right in, meaning it will never fray, wear out, or wash off. Any device, any finger—you get total touchscreen control without ever exposing your fingers to the cold.
- DRYRIDE Ultrashell™ 2-Layer Fabric: You'll find DRYRIDE Ultrashell™ fabrics throughout the Burton glove line. Built around the demands of high-energy riding, DRYRIDE Ultrashell fabrics are both bomber and breathable to keep hands dry and protected. Offered in various performance levels and stretch in some styles, with Ultrashell 2-layer coated offering a drier, more breathable level of performance.
- Waterproof DRYRIDE Insane Membrane™ 1.0: This extra-thin, super waterproof membrane protects hands from wind and water while wicking away heat-robbing sweat. Offered in 1.0 and 2.0 versions with 2.0 offering a higher level of quick-wicking, waterproof performance.
- Thermacore™ Insulation: Developed for superior warmth-to-weight, Thermacore™ cranks the heat without limiting mobility. We offer Thermacore in a variety of weights, and in select styles fine-tune the amount of insulation in the body, sleeves, and hood for focused warmth and breathability.
- Fixed Fleece Lining: Quick-drying, soft, and technical, our brushed fleece, microfleece, Sherpa fleece, and Teddy Bear fleece linings combine warmth and the ability to keep you dry in a low-bulk package.
- Ergonomic Pre-Curved Fit: The superior dexterity of this articulated fit means your hands will always be warm and nimble no matter what kind of action you get into. Featured on every single glove and mitt we make.

I ordered these and they arrived just in time for the Juno blizzard. There is no pahking on the streets in my neighborhood so shoveling is and arranging the huge piles is more than a chore. It's an art form. These gloves are my favorites now. The lengthy openings goes over my jacket to ensure a warm fit. No complaints on these waterproof and well constructed gloves.

Since 2001, students have come from as far as both coasts of the United States and Canada to earn their Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) degree at Anderson University. One of the perks for both students and faculty is collaborating on research as the students work on their dissertations.
"Although this program is young, it is very rewarding to work with doctoral students on achieving their goals," said Dr. Mike Wiese, professor of marketing. "The doctoral program provides a natural opportunity for me to mentor a scholar."
[Photo: Dr. Mike Weise, co-author of a recently published article, helps Doctor of Business Administration students publish their own work. Credit: Lauren Freitas]
Wiese, a 23-year-veteran of marketing instruction at AU's Falls School of Business, recently co-authored an article with Dr. Staci Brettin, based on her dissertation. The article, entitled "The Market Oriented Innovator's Dilemma," was published in the Business Journal for Entrepreneurs. Brettin, with Wiese as her advisor, conducted interviews to start the process. She researched what innovation customers wanted and how that differed from what the innovators or owners of the company actually produced. She also conducted panel research and received 400 completed surveys. The quarterly journal's focus is on those who have or who are trying to start a business, as well as professors who are teaching in the field.
Wiese has also been involved in the MBA Program, previously serving as the director. He continues to do research outside of AU for many church denominations. He helps these churches grow their high school programs and also works with their Sunday school curriculum. The article co-authored with Brettin is one of more than 15 articles he has published on his own or co-authored for journals.
Dr. Emmett Dulaney, a professor of marketing since 2006, completed the DBA program at AU in 2009 with Wiese as his mentor. His dissertation was published in the Journal of Internet Marketing.
"My committee chair was Dr. Wiese, and he pushed me to publish it, not willing to take 'no' for an answer," Dulaney said. "After I hit a few roadblocks with some preliminary journals, he helped prod me to continue on and make the revisions needed to see it in print."
Since the infancy of the program in 2001, the Falls School of Business has awarded 58 DBA degrees. There are currently 80 students in the program from 32 different states and three Canadian provinces. The program accepts around 12 applicants every year, which represents about half of the people who apply.
"One of the goals of the program is to increase the presence of research in journals through the faculty of Christian universities as far as published works," said Dr. Doyle Lucas, director of the DBA program. "We work specifically in the doctoral program to teach students how to change ideas into publications."

Anderson University continues to be recognized as one of America's top colleges by U.S. News and World Report, The Princeton Review, and Forbes.

"The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do." (B. F. Skinner– American Psychologist)
Directly inspired from the board game of the same name, Legions of Steel is a fast-paced and thrilling tactical game. Squads of machines and humans fight hard in the inhospitable undergrounds of the production facilities. With the one shot, one kill philosophy adopted by the developers, every move, line of sight, and action point becomes a resource of strategic importance.
Today we are happy to announce that the game will be available in May 2015 on both PC and iPad! Initially announced for late 2014, developer Studio Nyx decided to extend the development period in order to provide more content into the game, and especially nerve-racking multiplayer modes that should seduce fans of competitive and intense matches!

The angelic and peaceful kingdom of Gilrand is in great danger. Led by Lord Devil in person, merciless demons are raiding the defenseless Human world.

"Once the mass of the defending infantry become possessed of low morale, the battle is as good as lost." (Douglas Haig – Commander of British Expeditionary Force)
Early 1915 – After a massive initial push from the Central Powers on the Western Front, the war is bogged down. Commanders from both sides protect their positions with strong defensive structures and fail to find breaches in the enemy lines. Artillery and barbed wire make the assaults deadly and wasteful. But in Breaking the Deadlock, the first expansion of Ageod's World War 1 wargame To End All Wars, players can develop new tactics to outsmart their opponent and break the stalemate once and for all!
Breaking the Deadlock focuses on key moments of the Great War. It provides a series of short, intense and very detailed scenarios in which every single turn has decisive consequences on the final outcome of the battle!

Europe, 1559
Even the end of the Great Italians Wars didn't bring peace to the Old Continent. England, France and the Holy Roman Empire have to face the struggles between Catholics and Protestants while other nations are trying to forge their destiny through the power of their new armies, experimenting innovative solutions in the warfare. This is the peak of the Iron Century, which will lead directly to the Thirty Years War.
Pike and Shot Tercio to Salvo is an expansion of Pike and Shot, and it covers the years between 1560 and 1628, putting the players at the head of one of the numerous nations involved in the wars of religion that spread out all over Europe at that time.
