Framed mirrors are an exciting accessory for your bedroom and most designers will recommend that you use them to liven it up by installing them in various styles above your bed. Then again, if you are using your bedroom as a dressing room also, you will want mirrors that can help you get ready. You could install a full-length mirror behind the door of your bedroom and a smaller one for the dresser top for doing your hair and make-up. Choosing the right framed mirror for your dresser will add appeal to your bedroom but you will want it to be Utile also. Here are a few secret mirror installing tips you can keep in mind while selecting the right mirror for your dresser.
Dresser Mirror Sizes
Use a measuring tape to assess the length of your dresser. The framed mirror you buy should be shorter in length and not overhanging the edges of the dresser. You might also want to measure the height of the ceiling above your dresser and work out how high you want you mirror to be. Better yet, stand in front of it and make sure you will be able to see yourself comfortably without having to bend or stretch too much. You also want to make sure that the mirror is shorter in height than the dresser. This will give the room a sense of balance.
Shape of the Mirror
Framed mirrors for dresser tops are available in an exciting range of shapes so you could go for the one that compliments the furniture of your room. For instance, if your bed and dresser have rectangular shapes or designs, choose a similar rectangular or square framed mirror. But if your furniture has curves, you could choose a round or oval dresser mirror. You also have the option of not firmly attaching the mirror but letting it sit on the dresser top.
Frame of the Mirror
Check out your local mirror store for the range of materials and finishes they carry for mirror frames. You could choose from either metallic or wooden frames with antique, rustic, dull and bright finishes. Simply go for the ones that match the decor of your bedroom. For instance, gold, silver or perhaps a combination of both. Metallic frames are also available in steel finishes that go very well in a contemporary setting but if you like antiques, you could go for ornate or traditional mirror frames.
If you like to get experimental, you could try a melange of dresser mirrors and maybe, even pictures. If you go for a collection, create a collage of mirrors in different finishes interspersed with pictures of your family or anything that enhances the decor of your mirror. You could also add a mirror that reflects minute details so that it can help you with make-up. Add some interesting lights and turn your dresser into the focal point of your room.
Framed dresser mirrors are a delightfully versatile decorating option and when you can combine style with utility, the effect should be awesome.
Most of us would probably agree that saving on our energy bill is the number one benefit of building a home solar energy system with the modern home decor, but finding all the advantages of every venture are found in the details.
Some of the benefits of a solar home are:
1. Independence: If you own a home, live in the mountains or desert, or on a remote tropical island, solar power can provide complete independence from the utility grid. Saying good bye to blackouts in your neighborhood during those long summer months of electrical overloads can keep your family cool and calm in the summertime. This assumes you have planned your home solar energy production to match or exceed your home energy usage.
2. Zero Fuel Costs: If you do not use backup gas generators to resupply your batteries or your home solar system during long bouts of cloudy days, solar energy will eliminate the need for purchasing fuel. However, if some of your home appliances run on gas, this is a mute point unless you convert these appliances to electrical models.
3. Reliability: Even on cloudy days when solar cells absorb less sunlight, your solar home will still have electrical power...during the daytime. And if you back-up your solar system with deep cycle batteries (recommended), you will have enough power for lights and appliances at night - even if your neighborhood is experiencing a power outage. Again, the key here is planning...matching both your energy usage and production when designing your solar home.
4. Low Maintenance: Once you have built your solar home, there is little maintenance to keep the system going except to remove leaves and dust off the solar panels to maximize solar absorption. Cutting back nearby tree branches to handle the leaves and minimize any shade on your solar cells is not a bad idea either. Also, checking on your batteries to make sure they are maintained and well ventilated is highly recommended.
5. Durability: With the typical 20 - 25 year warranty, installing solar panels will typically last longer than you own your home. However, if you build and install solar panels yourself (DIY), there is no warranty and the durability will probably be less.
6. No Pollution: As photovoltaic systems (PV) produce clean energy, you are making use of the best source of renewable energy, and in the process, making an impact on reducing global demand for fossil fuels.
7. Safety: If properly constructed, PV systems are very safe to use.
8. Modularity: Once you make the decision to go solar, you have the option to start out small with one solar panel if you like, than add more as your financial situation allows or your energy needs change. But remember, taking this approach will cost you more if you hire a solar contractor as building three 1 KW solar panel systems will cost you more than one 3 KW system. However, this will be less of an issue if you choose to build (DIY) your own solar panels and install them yourself.
9. Increase Your Home Value: According to many home builders, home buyers are willing to pay 2% more for a solar home verses one which is tied to the energy grid. 2% may not sound much, but for a $250,000 home, that is $5,000 more you can sell your home for in the future.
10. Reduce or Eliminate Your Energy Bill: Doing the math, if you can save $100 or more on average per month on your energy bill with a home solar system, you can save $1,200 per year, or $6,000 over a five year period. If you plan on staying in your home long term, the advantages of building a home solar energy system will increase.
11. Adjustment: When you ready to setup your solar system, you need to see the adjustment or your home or other places. If you unable to decorate or adjust house then you need the interior designer to make best, you can read the leather furniture adjustment tips for your homes.
The path to going solar has many routes. Doing research will answer many questions, and create a few more. Enjoy the journey all along the technique...as house your own solar home will be an accomplishment you will never forget.
"Resistant weevils gave farmers a hint of what was happening to the ecology," Perry said, "but they only mixed chemicals and sprayed more often at higher dosages." In 1962 resistant budworms and bollworms ate more cotton than did weevils. Farmers skirted bankruptcy while spraying every week, and many quit. In northeast
Mexico, half a million acres of cotton dwindled to 1,200 in just four years. I asked Perry if the lesson had to be so harsh. He paused. "Probably, Farmers can be hardheaded; entomologists, too. They recommended chemicals enthusiastically, and synthetic pesticides caught on before the apartment central London."
SOME FARMERS learned from the cotton disaster. Dan Pustejovsky now grows cotton in the Texas "backlands" using IPM—integrated pest management. IPM combines beneficial insects, special plant breeds, restrained spraying, and what Dan calls "commonsense farming."
The Texas backlands slope from north of Dallas south past San Antonio in a crust of dark dirt. In 1900 they yielded more than a third of the state's cotton, much of which has since moved west to the arid High Plains, where weevils freeze to death in the dry winter wind. What stayed, worms and weevils got, and today backlands farmers harvest scarcely 10 percent of the cotton in Texas. Dan farms 1,630 acres near Whitney, and two weeks before harvest he showed me cotton two feet high, loaded with fleecy lint. Dan's plants fruit heavy and fast, so he can harvest early and escape late-season worms, weevils, and aphids.
Bug birth control promises new, nonpoisonous tactics in boll weevil control. In a trial program in North Carolina, weevil offspring are nourished to the papal stage by food containing red dye, which stains their innards for field identification even after they have metamorphosed into adults (left). Sterilized by radiation, they are released to mate in the fields with untreated adults, but no new generation is produced.
In the same trials, synthetic sex lures called pheromones duplicate mating odors and attract weevils to traps and death in a baking sun. Dr. Herbert C. Brown (right) of Purdue University won a 1979 Nobel prize for his discovery of chemical transformations involving borates, which expedite the production of such pheromones.
Before the year's last weevils can dig into leaf litter to overwinter. Then, as an added precaution, he shreds the bare stalks and plows them into the earth. "If those overwintering weevils get by you, you'll be spraying all season," Dan told me. "I did spray once this year, but early, to give beneficial insects time to recover and catch July bollworms."
Four years ago Dan joined a statewide IPM program organized by Texas A & M University. Scouts sweep his fields each week with billowing nets and report their catch to BUGNET, a computer that alerts Dan when worms and weevils are about to reach damaging levels; only then does he spray. In 1976 Texas cotton farmers sprayed only a tenth as much insecticide as in 1964, partly because of integrated pest management and BUGNET.
As I left his farm, Dan handed me a branch of fluffy cotton bolls. "I still need chemicals. But I don't spray anymore to kill every last insect—I live with a lot more bugs than I used to." So does Jim Brazil, but still he wants to wipe out the boll weevil. We met for the first time in a dusty cotton field outside Elizabeth City, North Carolina. As director of the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Boll Weevil Eradication Trial, Jim had come to gauge the enemy's strength.
The battlefield covers 21,000 acres, and in USDA's total war, all is fair. Traps baited with sex lures capture adult weevils and strategic spraying of a chemical growth regulator—also used against gypsy moths in five states—leaves young insects half-formed. Sterilized males dropped by air divert female weevils from other, fertile partners. The experiment ends in apartments Krakow; if it succeeds, USDA may expand it nationwide. Estimated time and cost to the last, lonely weevil: ten years and perhaps seven hundred million dollars.
"If we get rid of the weevil and use integrated pest management," argues Jim Brazil, "we can cut pesticides on cotton by 50 to 75 percent." The prospect tantalizes: per year cotton receives 26 million pounds of toxaphene alone, an insecticide that in laboratory tests causes tumors in mice and "broken-back syndrome" in catfish.
Jim concedes it is an expensive gamble against long odds to try eradicating the weevil. "But," he warns, "insecticides are failing, and we have to eliminate the boll weevil while we still can. Or learn to live with it.

Good, bad omens for season ahead for all 32 NFL teams
What lies ahead
Good, bad omens for season ahead for all 32 teams
I've seen enough. Enough training camps, enough preseason games. With less than 10 days remaining until the NFL kicks off its 2007 regular season, the time is now to make some educated guesses about things to come.
First things first, next February's Super Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., will be a three-point win for New England over New Orleans. It'll be a fourth ring for the Patriots, and a historic franchise first for the Saints.
As I first wrote in May, I don't see anyone stopping New England, although the Chargers, Colts, Ravens, Jets and Broncos won't make the Patriots' trek through the AFC easy in the least. In the weaker NFC, I don't see anyone but Philadelphia capable of denying New Orleans. But in the end, the powerful Saints have too much offense for the Eagles to contend with.
Division by division, in order of finish, here's a 32-team look at how I predict the NFL will play out in '07, with playoff projections at the end:
AFC East
1. New England Patriots
A reason to believe: Nobody had a talent infusion like the one the Patriots received during the offseason. New England bettered itself on offense, defense and special teams (thanks to Wes Welker's return skills), and its coaching staff enjoyed some rare continuity.
The thing that makes you nervous: After Randy Moss' lost August, we don't know any more than we did in May, June and July regarding the receiver's impact. Were the Pats saving him for the season or are his legs just that iffy?
2. New York Jets
A reason to believe: The addition of running back Thomas Jones makes New York more balanced offensively, and gives the Jets a ground game they can win with when the weather turns nasty in the AFC East.
The thing that makes you nervous: Will Kellen Clemens pushing Chad Pennington at starting quarterback be a plus, or turn into a season-long sub-plot that the Jets couldn't probably do without?
3. Buffalo Bills
A reason to believe: With J.P. Losman, Lee Evans and Marshawn Lynch, the Bills have young, emerging play-makers in their impact positions on offense.
The thing that makes you nervous: The Bills are banking on all that youth on defense growing up quickly, and cohesively. That's a lot to ask in a league where experience is so critical.
4. Miami Dolphins
A reason to believe: The defense is solid enough to keep the Dolphins competitive while new head coach Cam Cameron gets innovative with the modest talent Miami does have on offense.
The thing that makes you nervous: We're still not buying that Trent Green will be the season-long answer at quarterback. He's 37 and coming off a year in which his play regressed dramatically after that severe concussion.
AFC South
1. Indianapolis Colts
A reason to believe: Despite losing four starters, the Colts defense is better. That's right, better. The unit has played stout against the run in August (2.7 yards per rush) and the tackling is noticeably improved. Nobody's missing Cato June, Jason David, Nick Harper, or even Anthony McFarland at this point.
The thing that makes you nervous: We all know what a quality offensive left tackle means for the health of your right-handed starting quarterback. The Colts are depending on rookie Tony Ugoh to handle the role previously held by Tarik Glenn. It's a gamble, and Peyton Manning's blindside is the stakes.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
A reason to believe: The Jaguars can run on anybody and stop anyone's run. That's a pretty good starting point for any potential playoff team. The tandem of Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor gives Jacksonville two game-changing rushers, and on defense, the Jags' massive tackles, Marcus Stroud and John Henderson, set up the rest of the unit's success.
The thing that makes you nervous: I just get the feeling that the Byron Leftwich era in Jacksonville isn't in for a happy ending. He's in the final year of his contract, and the pro-David Garrard movement has already stirred to life this preseason.
3. Tennessee Titans
A reason to believe: The Titans' late-season six-game winning streak last year changed the equation in Nashville, and convinced the players that success wasn't years away from unfolding. Tennessee has proven coaches who get the most out of the talent at their disposal.
The thing that makes you nervous: As gifted as he is, quarterback Vince Young won't be immune to second-year struggles against teams that are more familiar with what he likes to do. He'll still flash his magic at times this season, but his passing game can't take a backseat to his running skills.
4. Houston Texans
A reason to believe:Matt Schaub looks like the real deal at quarterback. If the Texans can protect him better than they ever did David Carr, coach Gary Kubiak has the efficient and cerebral passer who can make his offense work.
The thing that makes you nervous: You have to like the young talent that the Texans are compiling on defense, but if 2006 No. 1 pick Mario Williams isn't disruptive early on, the pressure on the man who took Reggie Bush's draft slot could quickly build to a crescendo.
AFC North
1. Baltimore Ravens
A reason to believe: The Ravens have that swagger back on defense, and nobody does a better job than D-coordinator Rex Ryan of creatively game planning to attack and exploit an opponent.
The thing that makes you nervous: Everyone in Baltimore seems to believe that Steve McNair will be even better and more proficient in Year 2 in the Ravens offense. But I can't get that egg he laid in the playoffs against Indianapolis completely out of my mind.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers
A reason to believe: New head coach Mike Tomlin has swept the stale air out of the Steel City, and his drive to build the Steelers back into a hungry, disciplined team that knows how to impose its will is going to pay off sooner than later.
The thing that makes your nervous: It's hard to picture the Steelers returning to the playoffs if Ben Roethlisberger's mojo doesn't return in '07. This is a pretty pivotal fourth season for Big Ben in terms of which direction his career is heading.
3. Cincinnati Bengals
A reason to believe: When you can trot out Carson Palmer, Rudi Johnson, Chad Johnson, and T.J. Houshmandzadeh every game, you've got a chance to beat anyone in the league.
The thing that makes you nervous: I'm not breaking news here, but the Bengals' pass defense isn't good enough to play with the heavyweights of the AFC. Cincy will win some games this season by out-gunning teams, but that's a formula for another 8-8.
4. Cleveland Browns
A reason to believe: No more calls, we have a winner. It may take a few weeks or even a month for him to fully earn the job, but the Browns have finally found a quarterback in Brady Quinn who can elevate the play of the offense around him.
The thing that makes you nervous: The Browns' snake-bit offensive line is unquestionably better. But with guard Eric Steinbach nursing a knee injury, and tackle Ryan Tucker about to start his four-game regular-season suspension, Cleveland still has no idea what continuity up front would feel like.
AFC West
1. San Diego Chargers
A reason to believe: The Chargers, by consensus, owned the most talented roster in the NFL last season, and yet they clearly have improved it with the likes of rookie receiver Craig Davis, rookie safety Eric Weddle and a couple other members of their '07 draft class. Stacked doesn't do this depth chart justice.
The thing that makes you nervous: A new head coach and two new coordinators? That's not exactly the blueprint for how you keep the train rolling. Norv Turner, Clarence Shelmon and Ted Cottrell could require a little time to master their assignments, and in the rough-and-tumble AFC, that could prove too costly.
2. Denver Broncos
A reason to believe:Jay Cutler has upside all over him. If you can watch him play quarterback and not see how much room for improvement there is in comparison to the Jake Plummer era, then you must be a member of Plummer's immediate family.
The thing that makes you nervous: Denver's defense has looked a bit tentative this preseason in adjusting to the schemes of new coordinator Jim Bates. The 49ers, Cowboys and Browns all had some success against the Broncos' first-team defense this month, and that's not a good omen for Denver, which faces early season matchups against potent offenses like San Diego and Indy.
3. Oakland Raiders
A reason to believe: There's nowhere to go but up when you score 12 offensive touchdowns in 16 games, as the anemic Raiders managed last season. New head coach Lane Kiffin won't let that happen again. His aggressive approach has been just what Oakland needed, and he shows signs of putting his players in the position to succeed.
The thing that makes your nervous: With newly acquired Dominic Rhodes facing a four-game league suspension to start the season, the Raiders' running game is going to have to rely again, at least early on, on LaMont Jordan. The ex-Jet was a bust last season, and his goal-line fumble and 2.8-yard average carry in his preseason starting debut against the Rams last week did not inspire confidence.
4. Kansas City Chiefs
A reason to believe: This is the best cause for hope I can point out, Chiefs fans: Head coach Herman Edwards came to his senses over the weekend and named Damon Huard his starting quarterback to start the season, rather than the overmatched Brodie Croyle. Huard was 5-3 as a starter last season with roughly the same team to work with.
The thing that makes you nervous: The state of the offensive line has been highly scrutinized, and the news is mostly bad. Pro Bowl guard Will Shields retired, leaving a void, and then new left tackle Damion McIntosh was felled by a preseason knee injury. The Chiefs, for the first time in years, have problems up front on offense. And that's going to make Huard and running back Larry Johnson's jobs even harder.
Re: Good, bad omens for season ahead for all 32 NFL teams
NFC East
1. Philadelphia Eagles
A reason to believe: By now it's apparent that the Eagles won't be held back this season by the state of Donovan McNabb's surgically repaired right knee. Philly's veteran quarterback has been so sharp this month that questions about it now sound hopelessly dated. Next topic?
The thing that makes you nervous: Newly installed starting middle linebacker Omar Gaither doesn't have the run-stopping pedigree just yet of the departed Jeremiah Trotter, and that's not all that comforting to consider given that the Eagles finished 26th against the rush last season.
2. Dallas Cowboys
A reason to believe: We happen to think that old re-tread Wade Phillips was a pretty inspired choice to be the Cowboys' head coach, because his history of success with the 3-4 defense melds perfectly with the talent that Dallas has on that side of the ball. I expect the Cowboys' dominating front seven to be one of the early season stories in the NFL, and Phillips to generate some coach of the year buzz by October.
The thing that makes you nervous: The Cowboys' secondary was a concern already, but things look a bit bleaker now that No. 1 cornerback Terrence Newman is suffering from a case of plantar fascia that figures to linger all season to some degree. The job of covering up safety Roy Williams' deficiencies in pass coverage depends somewhat on how well Newman handles his role.
3. Washington Redskins
A reason to believe: The Redskins' defense still seems almost afraid of takeaways, but Washington will put a better product on the field with the addition of rookie safety LaRon Landry and free-agent linebacker London Fletcher, and the return to health of tackle Cornelius Griffin.
The thing that makes you nervous: That Redskins offensive line, which was bolstered via a trade last week for veteran left guard Pete Kendall. With starting left tackle Chris Samuels missing the entire preseason with a knee injury, the line's early play could be pivotal in how things start off this year for both young quarterback Jason Campbell and the Washington running game.
4. New York Giants
A reason to believe: Count me among those who think the addition of quarterbacks coach Chris Palmer to Tom Coughlin's staff is going to translate into Eli Manning's best, most consistent NFL season yet. Maybe not slam-dunk Pro Bowl material, but Manning's game will smooth out under the direction of the well-grounded Palmer.
The thing that makes you nervous: No matter how much the Giants try to keep the focus on the field, something inevitably comes along to distract them from the task on hand. Either it's Tiki Barber's retirement, Barber versus Coughlin, Michael Strahan's absence, or Barber versus Manning. That's the sign of a team with a fatal flaw in the chemistry department.
NFC North
1. Chicago Bears
A reason to believe: The loss of defensive tackle Tank Williams supposedly made the defensive interior line a question mark, but even that concern has been mitigated by the acquisition of veteran Darwin Walker and the emergence of Dusty Dvoracek. This is the deepest defense in the conference and it's possible it still hasn't played its best football.
The thing that makes you nervous: The Rex Factor. How much longer can the roller coaster ride that is Rex Grossman at quarterback continue? The Bears don't need great quarterbacking to win their division. They just can't have their starter harming their cause with turnovers.
2. Detroit Lions
A reason to believe: The Lions should finally scare some people on offense. With coordinator Mike Martz having Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson, Mike Furrey, Tatum Bell and Jon Kitna together, there's no way Detroit shouldn't be more explosive than in any time in recent memory. The running game has yet to show up this month, but it should come in time.
The thing that makes you nervous: Whatever hopes the Lions have of contending for a playoff spot in the weak NFC this season, they revolve around protecting Kitna at quarterback. Reserve J.T. O'Sullivan played the whole game against the Colts last weekend and proved himself a journeyman. Dan Orlovsky isn't much of an option either. It's Kitna or else.
3. Green Bay Packers
A reason to believe: The Packers have this much going for them: They play in the weakest division in the NFL. Green Bay went 5-1 in the division last season and that made up a huge part of its surprising 8-8 finish. The Packers faced bleak prospects entering last season and wound up overachieving, so you can't rule them out of wild-card competition this year.
The thing that makes you nervous: We're less than two weeks away from the regular season and the Packers running game is a mess. Rookie second-round pick Brandon Jackson suffered a concussion Sunday, and veteran Vernand Morency has missed the entire preseason with a patella tendon problem. Green Bay is down to three healthy backs, and none have proven track records.
4. Minnesota Vikings
A reason to believe: Rookie running back Adrian Peterson gives the Vikings offense the home-run threat it lacked throughout coach Brad Childress' first season on the job. Peterson's ability to get outside should make opposing defenses respect the run, which should add options to second-year quarterback Tavaris Jackson's game.
The thing that makes you nervous: Jackson is still largely unproven, and the Vikings finally conceded this week that they need more of an insurance policy at backup quarterback than Brooks Bollinger. Monday's trade for Kelly Holcomb gives Minnesota a Plan B should Jackson's development this season be painfully slow.
NFC South
1. New Orleans Saints
A reason to believe: How can you pick just one? New Orleans' offense has looked scary good the past two preseason games, and there appears to be an embarrassment of riches at most every position. My gut tells me that Sean Payton, one of the league's brightest young coaches, will find new ways to use all those weapons this season.
The thing that makes you nervous: At this point, the only thing the Saints need to guard against is overconfidence and a tendency to believe the Super Bowl hype is right before they go out and prove it. But there are few signs that New Orleans will fall victim to the expectations game.
2. Carolina Panthers
A reason to believe: The Panthers have been labeled a Super Bowl contender the past couple seasons, and only teased. This year, the bar of expectation is set considerably lower, with the playoffs not even approaching a sure thing. If you're looking for a silver lining Carolina fans, head coach John Fox and his Panthers usually do their best work when the odds appear against them.
The thing that makes you nervous: The Panthers still seem to lack the type of No. 2 receiver who can draw coverage away from their No. 1, Steve Smith. Rookie Dwayne Jarrett, Drew Carter and Keary Colbert are the current cast of characters competing to fill the void, but Carolina continues to suffer from a viable secondary threat.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
A reason to believe: If they can keep him healthy, Jeff Garcia gives the Bucs their best starting quarterback since Brad Johnson in '02. The position was a nightmare for Tampa Bay in '06, but Garcia will lend stability and professionalism to Jon Gruden's offense.
The thing that makes you nervous: Once again the offensive line has been re-tooled, but it's too early to say it's improved. Luke Petitgout was signed at tackle, but his back has been problematic. John Wade is still the center by default, and rookie right guard Arron Sears has a sore ankle and may not start the season.
4. Atlanta Falcons
A reason to believe: New head coach Bobby Petrino has a track record. The man knows offense, and knows how to build a program. His challenge in Atlanta this season is unlike any he has encountered before, but in some ways, the Michael Vick debacle has removed much of the pressure that would have been on Petrino and his Falcons this year.
The thing that makes you nervous: The quarterback depth chart reads Joey Harrington, Chris Redman and Casey Bramlet. Enough said.
NFC West
1. St. Louis Rams
A reason to believe: Fourth-year Rams running back Steven Jackson is one of the most dazzling talents in the NFL today, and he's the centerpiece of a St. Louis offense that looks ready to take another step in '07. Jackson has only touched the ball twice this preseason, which tells you what the Rams think of him. If you get the LT treatment these days, you're valuable.
The thing that makes you nervous: Defense is always the question in St. Louis, and it's no different heading into this season. The Rams have an impressive young defensive lineman in Adam Carriker, but they'll need stepped up contributions from the entire front seven if they're going to improve their long-standing weakness against the run.
2. Seattle Seahawks
A reason to believe: The Seahawks are the only team in their division to post a winning record from '04 on, and that experience at winning has bred a confidence in Seattle. Mike Holmgren's club wins the games it has to in the regular season, and that should count for something for when another playoff berth is on the line in December.
The thing that makes you nervous: The Seahawks' vaunted running game slipped a notch last season with the loss of guard Steve Hutchinson, and there are some who wonder if Shaun Alexander's 3.6-yard average carry last season was the beginning of his decline? Maybe the toll of three consecutive 300-plus carry seasons ('03-05) have caught up with Alexander.
3. San Francisco 49ers
A reason to believe: The 49ers have assembled an impressive nucleus of young talent, and this could be the season where those players grow into a cohesive unit capable of making a wild-card run. Quarterback Alex Smith, tight end Vernon Davis, and running back Frank Gore give the 49ers the makings of something that could be special on offense.
The thing that makes you nervous: San Francisco's switch to the 3-4 defense on a full-time basis fits its personnel, but it's rare that such a move is seamless in the first year. There will likely be some painful stages to the transition, as young players such as Patrick Willis and Manny Lawson mature in their roles.
4. Arizona Cardinals
A reason to believe: Quarterback Matt Leinart looks poised to surpass the limited success of his rookie season, and he looks comfortable in the offense that new head coach Ken Whisenhunt brought with him from Pittsburgh. Leinart's rapport with his talented receivers is stronger as the weeks go by.
The thing that makes you nervous: The Cardinals' defense has been a sieve the past two weeks of the preseason, getting shredded by Houston's Matt Schaub and San Diego's Philip Rivers. As much talent as we know Arizona has on offense, it won't matter much if the defense can't stop anyone.

Barient 22-39 Winch
I have two self tailing Barient 22-39 winches on my P30. I clean and lube them at least twice per year. One of them started acting up this summer. The best way to explain it is the winch is very difficult, sometimes impossible, to turn in the high speed low power direction when any load is put on it and in the low speed high power direction I can feel each meshing of a gear tooth. When I break it down to inspect it it appears that the pawls have improperly engaged a few times and material is removed.
Anyway, I am looking for a used winch for parts or to replace it. I know of the Australian Yacht Winch Company but would like find a used winch if possible.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Try eBay for a used winch.
No luck on eBay. Thought I would reach out directly to boat owners.
real estate for sale Pattaya
might wanna check out this place, they have a used selection.
Used Winches, Lewmar, Harken, Barient, Barlow
or i have a pair of these, but really dont think they would help! :cool:
Did you find a winch? Regards, George
Hey bro this post is a YEAR OLD. You blew my phone up for this? He either found one or quit sailing.
Go ahead and insert ad... or just buy one...
I have been looking for a mate to mine for more than a year thus I figured if I could not find one maybe I could help out a like mined sailor sorry if your phone blew up.
Regards, George
Re: Barient 22-39 Winch
I know this is an old post, but it popped up when I was searching info for a Barient 22 - 39 winch. I am selling one for my father - it is new/unused. He came across it cleaning out his storage as he prepares to sell his boat. I don't know how long he has had it, but several years at least.
I am looking into pricing (& open to suggestion), but thought I would also update this post. It is 2 speed & self tailing, excellent condition:
Re: Barient 22-39 Winch
I am the last poster and would be interested in your winch as I still have one looking for a mate. I am in California so let me know what you think

After scoring an impressive first round TKO over seasoned veteran Frank Trigg at this past weekend's UFC 103 event, Josh Koscheck announced he'd like to fight former UFC Welterweight champion Matt Hughes.
Hughes is one of the most accomplished fighters in UFC history and is basically guaranteed induction into the UFC Hall of Fame before the end of his illustrious career.
However Hughes recently announced in a blog post on his website, matt-hughes.com, that he is not interested in a bout with top 170-pound contender Koscheck and is surprised to hear the former NCAA Division I wrestling champion call him out.
"I find Koscheck calling me out kind of interesting, and I actually don't know why he is doing that," Hughes wrote. "I was used to kids doing this when I was the champ, but as you know, I don't have the belt now, and I'm puzzled as to why Koscheck wants to fight me and not the champion in the weight class."
I guess Hughes did not watch the UFC 103 post-fight press conference where Koscheck said he does indeed want a rematch with Georges St. Pierre for the championship. Koscheck, a product of the world renowned America Kickboxing Academy is willing to fight anyone in the division to earn that title shot.
Why wouldn't he want a fight with a legend of the sport such as Hughes? Hughes is not just your average run of the mill former champion. He was one of the most dominant welterweight champions in UFC history holding the title on two separate occasions with nine combined title defenses including a submission victory over current welterweight kingpin St. Pierre.
One can make the argument that Hughes is past his prime and nowhere near the fighter that he once was back in his glory days but the fact remains he's still a household name and a top contender in the division. A victory over a name opponent like Hughes would catapult Koscheck into title contention and that's exactly where he wants to be.
So what's the problem Mr. Hughes? Is Koscheck not a worthy enough opponent for you, sir? Clearly you must understand that Koscheck is ranked very highly in your weight class and a victory over an opponent of his status could deem you the number one contender and a chance at reclaiming your Welterweight crown. After all that is why you're still competing, to prove you're still the best 170-pounder in the world, right?
Or, like most former champions are you only interested in putting on compelling matchups for the fans?
If that's the case shouldn't you be jumping at the opportunity to step into the Octagon with an exciting big-name fighter such as Koscheck?
"I have no interest in fighting Koscheck, and as he was showing everybody, he's just a kid," Hughes wrote. "As of yet, the UFC has never come to me and asked me to fight him."
It's one thing to say the UFC hasn't offered him the fight but to say he has no interest at all in squaring off with Koscheck is mind boggling to say the least. Maybe Hughes is not very confident he would be able to defeat a young lion with the skill set Koscheck possesses?
With the career Hughes has had fighting Koscheck is no different than fighting anyone else so it's not a matter of fear but it is possible the former champion does not think the matchup will be in his favor. At this point Hughes may only be interested in fights he knows he can't lose.
Every fight is going to be tough especially when you're an older fighter competing against young athletic studs but Hughes still has the brute strength and wrestling ability to control a fighter with weak takedown defense.
Surely Hughes won't be able to out-wrestle Koscheck who other than St. Pierre may be the best wrestler in the division.
Koscheck would use his strong wrestling ability to keep the fight standing up and would give Hughes fits with his superior striking. It isn't a great matchup for Hughes on paper and that might be why he is reluctant in wanting it.
If UFC matchmaker Joe Silva offered Hughes the fight, he would accept it like a professional, but obviously if it was up to him he would choose to take on someone else. There are plenty of talented fighters for Hughes to fight which would include Koscheck's good friend and training partner Mike Swick.
Swick is another fighter that is being considered for a title shot so if Hughes were to defeat him it could potentially earn him that almighty fourth bout with St. Pierre for the championship just as a victory over Koscheck would.
Swick is a very aggressive striker but unlike Koscheck might not be able to defend Hughes's takedowns. On paper it's a much better matchup for Hughes and just as high-profile as a bout with Koscheck would have been so there is a good chance Hughes will accept that fight.
According to UFC President Dana White, Hughes is expected to return to the Octagon in early 2010. It's anyone's guess as to who his opponent will be as he is clearly ducking Koscheck and not showing much interest in any other bout.
Time will tell who the future Hall of Famer will be matched up with next, hopefully said fighter will have strong takedown defense that way we will not have to witness another "lay n' pray" fiasco from Hughes.
Not to take anything away from the legendary fighter but taking someone down and laying on them like a wet blanket is nothing to be proud of.
Hopefully that won't be taking out of context but realistically he should be coming off of a loss as Matt Serra clearly defeated him if that fight was judged correctly, which it wasn't.

It's well known that the left and right sides of the brain differ in many animal species and this is thought to influence cognitive performance and social behaviour. For instance, in humans, the left half of the brain is concerned with language processing whereas the right side is better at comprehending musical melody.
Now researchers from UCL publishing their work in the open access journal Neural Development have pinpointed for the first time the left/right differences in how brains are wired at the level of individual cells. To do this, a research team led by Stephen Wilson looked at left and right-sided neurons (nerve cells) in a part of the brain called the habenula.
By causing habenular neurons to produce a bright green fluorescent protein they saw that they form remarkable "spiral-shaped" axons, the long nerve fibres that act as the nervous system's transmission lines.
"It's clear that the left and right halves of the brain process different types of information but almost nothing is known about the differences in the brain's circuitry which achieve this" says Wilson. "One possibility is that totally different types of neuron might be found on the left and right. Alternatively, both sides could contain the same building blocks but put them together in different ways".
The researchers saw that there are two types of habenular neuron and both types can be found on both left and right sides. However, whilst most left-sided cells have spiral axons shaped into a domed crown, such neurons are not very common on the right. Instead, most right-sided cells form flat, shallow spirals, and these are formed only occasionally on the left.
"In the same way that an engineer can make different electronic circuits from the same set of electronic components, so the left and right halves of the brain use the same types of neuron but in different combinations" explains Isaac Bianco, the student who did this work as part of his

Bi-weekly Visakhapatnam-Mumbai super fast express to pass through Secunderabad
HYDERABAD: A bi-weekly super fast express between Visakhapatnam and Mumbai to pass through Secunderabad is being introduced in the South Central Railway. It is among the five new trains proposed in the budget tabled in the Lok Sabha by Union Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday.
The other trains, all weekly super fast, are: Sriganganagar-New Delhi-Nanded Express, Bilaspur-Hyderabad-Thiruvananthapuram Express, Nizamuddin-Bangalore via Kachiguda Rajdhani Express and Howrah-Bangalore Express.

The SCR has been allocated a budget of Rs.3,092.9 crore of which Rs.185 crore is for new railways lines, Rs.131 crore for gauge conversion, Rs.25 crore for doubling of railway lines, Rs.118.53 crore for passenger amenities, Rs.500 crore for track renewal works, Rs.120.96 crore for traffic facilities like yard remodelling, Rs.75 crore for signalling and telecommunication works, Rs.61.24 crore for road over/under bridges, Rs.47.63 crore for workshops, Rs.35 crore for railway level-crossings and Rs.18 crore for computerisation.
The other highlights of the budget include development of the Secunderabad and Tirupati as world class stations with international level facilities and Chittoor, Nalgonda, Bidar, Parli Vaijanath are to be developed as 'adarsh' stations.
The Hyderabad and Nanded stations are to developed as multi-functional complexes. They will have shopping food stalls/restaurants, book stalls, STD/PCO booths, medicine and variety stores, budget hotels and underground parking. They will be serving pilgrimage, industrial and tourist centres. An ambulance facility will be stationed at Hyderabad station.
Secunderabad and Tirupati stations will have an integrated security team.
A medical college will be attached to the railway hospital and a nursing college to be started at Secunderabad on railway land.

Cyber Security: Achieving Cyber Resilience
Faced with rapid technological advancements and increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks, organizations must act now to acquire or improve cyber resilience to protect their agencies or departments from theft, fraud and sabotage. Experience has shown that cyber resilience requires a coordinated approach across five areas: policy and compliance; budget; the IT enterprise architecture; acquisitions, and security operations. Determining where to focus first is often difficult. Many organizations begin with a situational assessment of their cyber health within the context of the current environment and their own business and mission imperatives. From there, organizations can quickly prioritize problems -business processes, operational, technological or personnel - and take decisive actions that will enhance cyber resilience and help reduce risk.

Too icy to run safely.
Christmas Day Run
Sneak in an extra run with your parkrun friends Christmas morning at Ecos.
IMPORTANT News about Ecos parkrun 26 January 2013
The Braid has broken its banks spectacularly so we will not be able to run either the normal or the high water parkrun route tomorrow morning – however read on for an alternative…
Ballymena Runners will provide a 5 km timed run assuming it is not icy underfoot. The two lap route will start at the Visitor Centre, go over the Millenium footbridge, through the showgrounds and back along the road through the park.
For insurance reasons this is not a parkrun therefore the run will not be recorded by parkrun and you will not get an official parkrun result. The club will however have a timer at the finish so that you can find out how long you took. Refreshments will be available afterwards in the Centre.
In the unlikely event that it will be too icy for a safe run there will be a post on Facebook by 8.30 in the morning.
We have decided to cancel Ecos parkrun tomorrow Saturday 19 on grounds of safety. The forecast is for a combination of snow with freezing temperatures overnight. This means that the course is likely to be slippy and the long untreated road into the park will present a hazard to drivers. Sorry to disappoint but we'd rather do that than have someone get injured on their way to or at parkrun. Please spread the word and follow our Facebook or website for news of next week's parkrun.
Well done to our Sweatshop Monthly Prize Winner for August who is Peter Hamilton. When he was younger Peter ran as part of his conditioning for his main sport of rowing but he admits that fell by the wayside while his family were growing up. Now that they are in their teens he has enjoyed getting back to running.
Peter now regularly travels to Ecos from his home in Doagh, often with one or two sons. They are not so much in tow as leading him around the course and one week the three of them featured in the first ten finishers.
It is just as hard to achieve PBs when you are already running under 22 minutes but Peter's progress has been steady with three PBs at Ecos in August. He even headed to Victoria parkrun the week Ecos parkrun was cancelled where he matched his Ecos PB. Peter tells me that he looks forward to Ecos each week but resists looking at his watch at the end of the run and instead looks out keenly for the results to see how he has done.
We'd like to thank Sweatshop for their generosity and to congratulate Peter on his achievement. Hopefully your new shoes will help you dip under 20 minutes.

Dreaming Me
Black, Baptist, and Buddhist One Woman's Spiritual Journey
Not available
Jan Willis is not Baptist or Buddhist. She is simply both. Dreaming Me is the story of her life, from growing up a Baptist in the segregated South, dealing with racism in an Ivy League college, and becoming involved with the Black Panther Party to traveling to a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. It was upon meeting the great teacher Lama Yeshe that she found a way to understand both herself and the complicated world around her, a way to find peace. Willis went on to become a professor of religion at Wesleyan and is also an internationally recognized educator and innovator. Dreaming Me is the inspiring story of her spiritual journey of transformation.

The chic coupling of sea salt and smoked tea creates a quick, savory rub for steaks. Serve with a cumin-spiced grilled corn and tomato salsa.
2 Lapsong Souchong tea bags
1 teaspoons McCormick Gourmet™ Sicilian Sea Salt
1 teaspoon brown sugar
4 rib-eye steaks, trimmed (about 8 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Sicilian Sea Salt
2 ears corn, husked
3 plum tomatoes, halved
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Cumin, Ground
1/4 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Garlic Powder, California
Open tea bags; pour loose tea into small bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the sea salt and sugar. Season steaks with 1/2 teaspoon of the tea mixture per side. Refrigerate 1 hour or up to 3 hours for extra flavor.
Meanwhile, grill corn over medium heat 6 to 7 minutes, turning often to cook on all sides without burning. Grill tomatoes 4 to 5 minutes or until charred and soft. Cool slightly. Cut corn kernels off cobs and coarsely chop tomatoes. Place in medium bowl. Add lime juice, cumin, garlic powder and remaining 1/4 teaspoon sea salt; gently toss to coat well.
Grill steaks 6 to 8 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Serve with corn and tomato salsa.
