Many of you have been asking if I could film my classes, especially the paper flower classes, and I listened. Starting with my all time favorite flower, this is the first of a series of 5 crepe paper flower classes which I will share with you in the month of July. I am filming these classes as a shortened version of how I might teach the two hour class. Remember, you can pause the class as you create your flowers to follow along with me. You can download the PDF printable of the peony pattern here in this post as well as see a photo tutorial of the steps. Thank you Carte Fini for teaming with me in making these classes available to you. I would love to hear your feedback on these classes, see photos of your finished blooms, as well as your wishlist for upcoming videos. I am very excited to share these with you. Enjoy! ~ Lia

Connections:Tips for Small Business Excellence
Our goal is to inspire small business excellence by communicating with you about team happenings, upcoming events and also hosting conversations on business best practices. Sign up now for a feed to get the latest blog posts delivered directly to your email or web browser.
Board and Committee Members Step Up to Fill the Need
Overall, things are going well at Opportunity Knocks. With our reduced staff, board and committee members have stepped up to fill teams, train facilitators and organize events.
As we move forward we know that there will be surprises along the way. Transitions can be a bit bumpy especially when everyone has many other commitments. We will be smoothing out these bumps during first half of 2012. After we stabilize our processes and budget, attention will be focused on helping the teams be as successful as possible.
In March, the board and facilitators met to discuss current events and what's in store for Opportunity Knocks.
Eric Meade, Opportunity Knocks' new membership director, has visited with most of the teams and is assessing where we need new faces and who fits where.
The membership committee and Eric have been busy spreading the word about how Opportunity Knocks can help businesses grow and excel. But we need members wearing their recruiter hats as well. You have experienced first hand how beneficial Opportunity Knocks has been to your business. You make the best recruiters. So please, let your colleagues know about your experience with Opportunity Knocks.
Shannon Bassett reported that the facilitator committee is making progress in setting up an efficient process for assigning new members to the most appropriate team.
Terryl Wash is handling administrative functions including paying the bills, closing the books and responding to inquiries. She is available during business hours to answer questions.
The events committee, headed by Bill Scannell, plans to hold two best practice events this year in conjunction with other community organizations. These joint efforts will result in increased attendance and higher quality events. The events committee also plans to hold a summer social and fall membership meeting.
Jason Moyer reported on behalf of the administration committee that Opportunity Knocks took steps over the last year to stabilize our budget. The budget never had much fat and that's certainly true this year.
If you have suggestions or questions, please contact a board member or Terryl at 541-318-4650.

Pacific Coast residents wonder: Who needs a meteorologist?
Would you like to live in a place where no matter what the weather is, be it sunshine, pouring rain, or a foggy overcast, the temperature is about the same?
All you have to do is head west, stop just before you get pummeled by ocean surf, then either put in your tent stakes or, more comfortably, talk to a local real estate agent.

Surreal pics: Nebraska homes, cars blasted by tennis ball-sized hail
If it was in Mother Nature's playbook, it was used against parts of Nebraska Tuesday evening: Torrential rain, constant lightning, near-hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, and tennis ball-sized hail...
Pretty much all at the same time.
Let's start with the torrential rain as I was wide-eyed watching the rainfall numbers come in from Omaha.
The storm began with quite the punch, bringing a burst of rainfall and a gust of wind that was clocked at 72 mph!
The rain just kept going from there, which included jaw-dropping rainfall rates that saw over a half-inch of rain (0.53") fall in 3 minutes! That's 0.01" of rain per 3.4 seconds.
Awesome video shows supercell thunderstorm development
'Tis the season for severe weather across the Midwest and storm chasers have been out in full force capturing Nature's fury.
Photos show towering hailstorms over South Carolina
We're all likely familiar with what a hail storm looks like from the ground -- around here, it's as if someone dumped gazillions of frozen peas on the ground... if the peas were made of ice.
But have you ever seen a big hailstorm from the top? (And I mean BIG hailstorm, not the "what passes for big in Portland but Midwesterners and East Coasties laugh as child's play" hailstorm? The kind that could be disguised as a golf ball or, when you're really in for it, a softball?)
Watch: Supercell thunderstorm forms over Wyoming
Storm chasers near Newcaslte, Wyoming lucked out this weekend in capturing an amazing supercell thunderstorm into its formation, then rapid dissipation.
The BaseHunters Chasing team followed the weather east into Nebraska on Monday and captured more supercells:
Gorgeous time lapse video shows off intricacies of fog
Nothing shows off the beauty of fog like time lapse video.
Photographer Simon Christen, who put together one of my all-time favorite videos, "Adrift" that shows a series of foggy time lapse videos in San Francisco, is out with a new video "A Time Lapse Collection" that has more fog from the Bay Area, as well as a trip to Dubai.
In harm's way: Cameras provide views from inside a tornado
With cameras everywhere these days, it's inevitable that a tornado will find a few over the course of the stormy seasons.
The most recent one was a surveillance camera stationed outside a church in Tupelo, Miss. as an F3 tornado struck in April.
Northwest climate change report: Shrinking snowpacks, drier summers
Tuesday was a big day in the science community with the release of a major federal scientific report on climate change.
The 840-page report, several years in the making, looks at regional and state-level effects of global warming, compared with recent reports from the United Nations that lumped all of North America together. A draft of the report was released in January 2013, but this version has been reviewed by more scientists, the National Academy of Science and 13 government agencies and had public comment.
It is written in a bit more simple language so people could realize "that there's a new source of risk in their lives," said study lead author Gary Yohe of Wesleyan University in Connecticut.
The report breaks the nation down into 8 geographical regions, including the Pacific Northwest, which for their report encompasses Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
Video highlights the extraordinary nighttime sky shows we're missing
Local photographer Don Jensen is on a mission.
An outdoor and astronomy enthusiast, Jensen has developed a narrative time lapse video that shows what humanity's efforts to erase the nighttime darkness in our cities has taken on the night sky, and the interaction (or lack thereof) that we are having with starry skies.
"Escape the Light Dome" introduces us to our world where we are blinding ourselves to a view of the universe.

First of 4 'Blood Moon' lunar eclipses set for Monday night
Our sunrises and sunsets are legendary around here, but how would you like to see all the sunrises and sunsets on Earth -- at the same time! And it doesn't even require a trip to outer space.
Instead, the moon is going to essentially turn into an astronomical version of a projection screen as we get the first of four consecutive lunar eclipses over the next two years.
Even though the moon will be in the Earth's shadow, it should appear a bit colorful, some shade of red or orange. That's from light around the edges of the Earth - essentially all the sunrises and sunsets at the moment - splashing on the lunar surface and faintly lighting up the moon, said Alan MacRobert, senior editor at Sky & Telescope magazine.

AS the demand for mobile phones increase, people should also have an increase in the amount of local applications for those phones.
BrightPath Foundation executive director Bevil Wooding said at the first Youth TechCamp on Monday that, "We are an organisation that is focused on technology-based education, so the emphasis is on what we call creating local solutions for local needs."
Mr Wooding said it was important to have locally-suitable applications on mobile phones to benefit the local population.
He said economic changes, especially in the mobile phone industry market, were increasingly influencing the global demand for phones.
"It's a global market, some think this global market is for the other part of the globe, but we say the market has a lot of opportunities it can provide to everyone," he said.
He said the youth camp was a chance for youths to help in terms of this and would give a lot of opportunities to show their skills and creative talents.
"The camp is for discussion and opportunities, for people who have natural creative abilities to guide them with the tools and knowledge and what they are studying.
"More importantly it will allow a sense of possibility that I can, you can, we can together create new things that will affect societies and the region," he added.
Mr Wooding told the participants to make use of their skills and to pool their ideas together to come up with creative applications.
"Somebody in the Caribbean, at one of our workshops, came up with the idea of having a mosquito smashing application.
"Sometime later, an application was developed half way around the world. This goes to show that someone out there who is willing to have those applications.
"This is a historic workshop, a first for the Pacific and the first time for Fiji. And we will focus on technology based education, empowering communities through a technology platform," he said.
The week-long youth camp, a combined initiative of the Pasifika Nexus and BrightPath Foundation is aimed to help youths develop skills in developing applications for mobile phones.
"The youth camp is the first of its kind in the Pacific region and its target is youth empowerment in ICT," said Benjamin Mattews of Pasifika Nexus.
"This is a significant step in the development of the Pacific so your role and your participation in this are critical," he said.

Pineville City Council held the first reading of an ordinance to annex real property between the city limits line north of the floodwall and just north of Turkey Creek in Fourmile during their regular meeting this week.
"This will not affect any private property," said Mayor Sherwin Rader.
Rader said the ordinance will connect city property and the corridor.
According to the annexation description, several tracts of land was deeded to the city by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as excess right-of-way after the construction project that widened U.S. 25E to four lanes. That land is to be annexed by the city.
The ordinance states the annexation is in the best interest of the city. It also states it is necessary from time to time to extend the boundaries of the city for the benefit of the city by providing an opportunity for growth and development for the city.
Rader said during the meeting that once they started going through records it was realized the annexation was attempted in the past. During the time of the previous attempt, corridor annexation wasn't fully recognized, she said.
The survey for the property had been completed previously.
There are plans to annex areas along U.S. 25E south of the Pineville floodwall, which will also require surveys.
Main Street Pineville Director Jacob Roan gave an update for the organization during the meeting as well.
He will be attending the Main Street Program's winter conference in Frankfort in the upcoming days, which is highlighted by "walkability in a small town" and "tourism in small towns."
Roan also said he will be turning in an application for certification for 2014.
"When I took this position in July… the first thing that I said to you guys is that I wanted to make sure Main Street Pineville could become a certified program," said Roan. "I think we have done everything over the past six months to allow that certification to take place. We will find out over the next month."
As for the Main Street Kick Off, the event is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 23 at 6 p.m at the First Baptist Church dining hall.

BC—Schopfer 51 run (Dumas kick good) 4:20
Coming off not just their first victory in school history, but their highest offensive output of their first three games combined, the First Baptist Lions faced a tough contest against the 4-0 Bradenton Christian Panthers.
Despite a hard-fought battle, the Panthers, led by running back David Schopfer and a dual quarterback system, downed the Lions 42-0.
As the Lions offense first took the field after forcing a fumble on the Panthers first possession of the game, quarterback Corey Todd hit Derrek Lacusky down the field on a 30-yard bomb that set up a first down on the Panthers' 45-yard line.
But the completion on the first play of the game was one of only three the freshman quarterback was able to make, as he was pressured heavily by the much bigger and stronger Panthers defensive line.
"They are big up front, but there's no excuses," First Baptist coach Billy Sparacio said. "We've got to protect."
The Panthers (5-0) forced Todd into throwing six interceptions, with two each landed in the hands of Christian Caitlin and R.J. Schooler.
Todd finished 3-of-14 for 48 yards, but was a factor in the ground game, rushing for 57 yards on eight carries, including two gains of over 15 yards and one over 20.
The Panthers' ground game was just too much for the Lions (1-4) as Schopfer rushed for 134 yards on 16 carries and scored three touchdowns, one from 13 yards with 10:54 remaining in the second quarter, a 3-yard run with 7:26 left in the third quarter, and a 51-yard scamper, cutting between both the left and right sidelines, leaving the Lions defense in his tracks.
But it wasn't just the Panthers' running game that tired out the Lions defense, it was their dual quarterback system lead by Sean McCarthy and Myles Johnson, who alternated each series and each picked apart the Lions.
McCarthy finished the game 6-of-13 for 174 yards and a touchdown pass, a 74-yard shovel pass to Colton Goodwin, and Johnson, who was the more efficient of the two but didn't have the yardage McCarthy had, finished 9-of-9 for 127 yards.
"We're going to take our licks; that's part of being a new program," Sparacio said. "I think we were able to hang for a while and I'm proud of the kids, but the offense put the defense in a lot of bad situations. We're learning every single week and I'm proud of a lot of the things I saw, but I am disappointed in that we are making the same mistakes."

Pace Attorney-Spencer & Kaye [57] ABSTRACT A method of cryogenic surgery and a scalpel suitable for the practice of the method. The scalpel has a hollow chamber within which a fluid medium may be injected, there being knife blade means in heat transfer contact therewith. ln the practice of the method the scalpel is cooled by injection of an appropriate fluid. Thereafter animal tissue is cut with the scal pel thereby freezing the cut areas. The knife is heated as necessary to permit detachment of the scalpel from the frozen areas.
4 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures HANDLE INSULATED FROM THE COLD LIOUEFIED Gil S FOR EXAMPLE, NITROGEN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to cryogenic surgery and more particularly to a scalpel which permits simultaneous cutting and freezing of tissue and to a method of using this scalpel.
It is known that for example in brain surgery and in the surgery of the prostate probes are used which are cooled by evaporating liquid nitrogen. In this case, the surrounding tistion or a separation of parts from the organ is made. In suchcases, it is necessary to proceed to cutting and simultaneously start freezing of the cutting zones, in order to avoid secondary bleeding from the tissue. In addition it must be made'sure that the instrument after termination of the freezing process is rapidly detached, without tearing the adhering tissue.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through one embodiment of a cryogenic scalpel, according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a transverse sectional view of a modified embodiment of a scalpel according to the present'invention and taken on a line corresponding to 2-2 of FIG. 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawings and first to FIG. 1, the same shows a cryogenic scalpel according to the present invention which defines a hollow chamber of generally triangular cross section. It has a planar base wall 12 and two slightly curved side walls, joined at one end to the base wall edges and curving toward each other and toward an apex forming a knife blade edge 18 which curves fromfa forward point 20 in which it is in contact with the chamber base wall 12 to a rearward point at which it meets the chamber end wall 22.
An outer tube 32 is secured'to the chamber rear wall 22 at its forward end and extends in a direction generally parallel to thechamber base wall 12. An inner gas carrying tube 30 is v mounted co-axially within, and spaced from, tube 32 by spacers 34. Tube 30 has its forward end extending through about two-thirds of the length of chamberl0, and its rear end terminates in a gas fitting 36. A suitable supply of liquefied gas, for example nitrogen, may be supplied to the tube and passed through the knife blade. By liquefied gas is meant a substance which is a gas at atmospheric pressure but is in the liquid state by virture of being at a higher than atmospheric pressure. Openings 38 are provided in the region of the wall of tube 30 which extends into the interior of chamber 10. The rear end of outer tube 32 is opened to the atmosphere. As a result, the pressure within chamber 10 is close to atmospheric. When liquefied gas is injected into the chamber, it rapidly evaporates and flows out to the'atmosphere.
An insulated handle 40 is formed about the exterior of tube 32. This protects the hand of the user from the cold temperatures prevailing along the cryogenic scalpel. Handle 40 is hollow and, except for its end wall connections to tube 32 is spaced therefrom. 1
An electrical lead 42 passes through handle 40 and into chamber 10. Electrical lead 42 leads to resistance heater 44 which is positioned within the chamber in close adjacency to the side walls. When energized, they heat the chamber interior and with it the knife blade edge 18.
In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the side walls of the chamber do not actually meet each other. Instead, edges which are opposite to the base wall 12' meet to form a channel whose bottom wall 26 is curved along a line having approximately the same configuration as the apex forming the knife blade edge 18 described in connection with the embodiment of FIG. 1. The embodiment ofFIG. 2 differs from that described in connection with FIG. 1 in that the knife blade means proper are constituted by an exchangeable blade 28 of platinum-iridium alloy, which blade is detachably mounted within the channel.
It will thus be seen that, in accordance with the present invention, the knife is, in principle, a miniature evaporation chamber, designed in the form of a knife blade (FIG. 1), which is cooled by the evaporation of liquefied gases.
The detachment of the blade from the firmly adhering tissue is obtained, after formation of a frozenzone which is sufficiently deep and large, either by internal electrical heating of the knife or by hot fluids admitted to its interior. Materials to be used for the manufacture of the knife are all metals or plastics suitable to be applied in the surgery of living tissue. The materials suitable for the blade are among others high stability metals or alloys, such as platinum-iridium. In a special construction the blade may be made exchangeable (FIG. 2).
I An additional feature of the invention relates to a supplementary freezing barrier," especially suited for operations of long duration, and which after cutting keeps the field ofoperation in a frozen state during any desired time. The freezing barrier consists essentially of two or more cold chambers which can be adjusted in such a way that the cold surfaces of these chambers will keep all cutting areas in a frozen state which have been previously produced by means of a cryo-scalpel. The freezing barrier is also provided with a heating device for detachment from the tissue. 5
We claim: l. A cryogenic surgical scalpel, comprising a knife blade defining a hollow chamber, means for passing a fluid through said hollow chamber for cooling said knife blade, means connected to said knife blade for selectively heating said knife blade, said means for passing a fluid having an outer tube communicating with said chamber for providing an outlet for the fluid and an inner tube arranged coaxially within said outer tube and extending substantially across said chamber for providing an inlet for the fluid, said knife blade having two similar side walls in part defining a generally triangular cross section for said knife blade, the means for heating said knife blade having a resistance heater positioned with said chamber in close adjacency to said side walls, the region of the wall of said inner tube arranged within said chamber being spaced from said side walls and defining a plurality of openings, the scalpel further comprising an insulated handle formed about the exterior of said outer tube, the handle being hollow and having end walls which provide the only connections between said handle and said outer tube, and said resistance heater having leads passing through said insulated handle and into said chamber.
2. A scalpel as defined in claim 1, wherein said knife blade has an exchangeable blade.
3. A scalpel as defined in claim 2, wherein said knife blade defines a channel between said side walls, and said exchangeable blade is detachably mounted in said channel so as to be in heat transfer contact with said chamber.
4.

|Paralympic history
|Summer Games
Hong Kong made its Paralympic Games début at the 1972 Summer Paralympics in Heidelberg, and has taken part in every subsequent edition of the Summer Paralympics. It has never participated in the Winter Paralympics.[1]
Hong Kong has won a total of 92 Paralympic medals, of which 32 gold, 27 silver and 33 bronze. The country's first gold medals came in 1984, when Hong Kong won the women's 4x400m Relay in categories 2-5 in athletics. Mui Y. L. also won an individual gold in the women's 1,500m, category 3; and Fung Yuet Wah took gold in the women's individual foil (categories 4-5) in wheelchair fencing. Table tennis was the source of all three gold medals won in 1992, as Hong Kong players won the women's team event in category 5, the men's team in category 4, and Kwong Kam Shing won the men's singles in category 5. In 1996, it was the men's 4x100m relay (T34) which yielded gold in athletics, accompanying four gold medals in men's wheelchair fencing events. Wheelchair fencing has provided gold medals for Hong Kong in every subsequent edition of the Summer Paralympics, as has athletics. Lai Wai Ling added a gold medal in table tennis (category 11) in 2000, whereas boccia provided two gold in 2004, and one in 2008. Hong Kong's most successful competitors, with five gold medals each, are Yu Chui Yee, Chan Yui Chong and Fung Ying Ki, all in wheelchair fencing.[2]

|Report: Braun's name in Florida clinic's records
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 05 February 2013 16:20
The report Tuesday says Yahoo obtained three records from the Biogenesis of America LLC clinic that showed Braun's name. Yahoo says no specific performance-enhancing drugs were noted next to the references to Braun.
The Miami New Times recently reported that Alex Rodriguez, Gio Gonzalez, Melky Cabrera and other players bought banned drugs from the clinic.
Braun tested positive for elevated testosterone levels during the 2011 postseason. He drew a 50-game suspension from MLB that was later overturned.
Text messages sent by The Associated Press to Braun and one of his representatives were not immediately returned.

tank panniers for Vstrom
Thinking about getting some tank panniers for my dl650 for a trip this summer. Anybody have any recommendations? The Wolfman tank bag I have is awesome and am leaning towards Wolfman brand again but not sure how they fit on the Strom. The Wolfman site does not show any photos of the dl650 with their panniers. Be great if you have any photos of your Strom with panniers mounted.
go over to http://vstrom.info/vsri-gallery/gallery/main.php and leaf threw the pics. lots of good ideas over there. Some of the penny tech in the gspot forum might work on the strom to.
Aerostich is the only way to go. I tried some of the popular ATV bags on a 10 day trip last summer the zippers failed on day 2. Aerostich high viz bags now, waterproof unbelievable quality and function and the fit my 1k with givi crash bars is perfect. Oh course I took a huge dose of the stitch kool-aid over Christmas with a full suit and the panniers so maybe I am just drunk.
Thanks, I checked out the Aerostich site and those bags look pretty good. I also have the Givi crashem up bars and one of my concerns was how they might interact with the bags.
I've said it before, but I simply mounted the panniers to my crash bars. Worked really well.
Dumb question time - what do you put in tank panniers? Are they for heavy stuff, like fuel and water, or light stuff that won't fit somewhere else?
That's not dumb at all...
If you're carrying heavy stuff (like a couple liter bottles of fuel or something like that) it's best to sort of balance the weight between the two sides.
I'm interested in the Wolfman coated ballistic tank panniers - anybody got those on a V-Strom, especially with Givi crashbars?
MOLLE Ammo Bag, made by Diplomat, purchased from L.A. Police gear for $10 each plus shipping. These are soft bags, so I have them stuffed with a couple of towels to fill them out. I may see about fitting them with internal stiffeners to help them hold their shape when they aren't full.
Inside view of the two pockets with velcro closures.
Other side with the entire inside covered with velcro.
I mounted them to my Hepco & Becker engine guards using strips of velcro.
The bags are made of rubber coated cordura, but the seams and stitches are not sealed or taped. There is also a grommetted drain hole in the bottom of each bag. So I would call these water-resistant but certainly not water-proof. You could always pack your stuff on a plastic bag before putting them in the ammo bags. These bags seem pretty well made and should hold up fairly well. I probably won't carry really heavy stuff in these; probably rain gear and the like. More sensitive things like my camera will stay up in the tank bag. The bags are available in green, tan or black. I went with OD green, since it matches the theme of my bike.
I'd really like to find a way to get one of these happening: www.turtlepac.com
Glad to hear of the Aerostich full size tank panniers fitting well with Givi crashbars! :D Picked up a set last year, along with a large GS Bags Connection tankbag to fit to my 04 DL1000. Was too busy breaking my arm on a KTM 300XC to get around to mounting them though... :huh
My purpose is to transfer weight forward on my 41 litre Zega Pannier equipped DL. The Panniers loaded with my "don't forget the kitchen sink packing style", have always led to an unloaded front end and truly terrible instability problems, go figure... :lol3
Looking forward to afixing the farkles in 09 and continuing my quest to justify the Passport 8500 X50, really not needed presently, what with high speed handling issues. Perhaps an emergency transponder instead...:lol3
Good luck with you and your's!
See you at the Edmonton MC Show January 16-18 :clap
I had Aerostich on my wee strom.
They fit great with the tankbag I had and I could rest my legs on them, even when on the road. Gave my legs a nice break and very relaxing on long rides.
Jim's tank panniers will accommodate a 2L Camelbak on each side in its own compartment with a tunnel for the drinking tube to exit from the bag. I've had a set for about four years and have been very happy with them. The tank pannier will hold a metric shitload of stuff on top of that and one of them turns into a little backpack (I've never performed that feat of magic, but I'll take his word for it). There are a lot more compartments than in the Aerostich or Wolfman tank panniers, so you can organize your stuff somewhat effectively, instead of having it all jumbled up in one big compartment. Highly recommended!
I'm looking at the Wolfman tank panniers for this reason, because they're shorter from top to bottom and I'm hoping they will fit above the Givis.
If the Aeros actually fit, I'm gonna be sick, because I just sold mine after having them sitting around the garage gathering dust since buying a set of Mountain Suns for my GS...
I have wolfmans and like them a lot. On a 9000 mile camp trip to the arctic last summer I needed all the storage I could get. Rain gear in one side and warm gear (heated jacket, gloves and controller in the other. This is an old pic from an earlier ride.

The latest notes on Javier Baez, Sonny Gray, Nick Castellanos, and seven other prospects.
Javier Baez, SS, Cubs (High-A Daytona)
Of all the prospects in the minors, Baez's status might have the most volatility, with the skill set to blossom into a superstar and the deficiencies that could terminate the dream before it begins. With elite bat speed and the type of raw power that can find a home in the middle of any major-league lineup, Baez could end up as the top prospect in the game. But his one-speed-fits-all approach on both sides of the ball can be limiting: His aggressive, see-ball-hit-ball mentality at the plate often puts him behind in counts and vulnerable to offerings out of the zone, and his tendency to rush the actions and the throws makes him error prone despite his exquisite hands at shortstop. Baez is warming up and is a good candidate to explode this summer, with a chance to sneak into the top 10 prospects in the game. But the Double-A test is looming on the horizon, and without more nuance to his game and a more refined approach, Baez could take a big step back against better competition. The talent is extreme. The risk is just as extreme. —Jason Parks

I undertand about over heeling a boat, so it pushes and slows down so we dont have to go into that.
I am not a brochure person or will not get into the numbers, righting ratios, even though I do uindertand them basically.
I can only go on what I see from a practicality first hand actual sailing experience. Why dont we see more Catalinas racing in the races in Annapolis, Newport or wherever. There are lots of other boats represented and there are plenty of Catalinas?
Again this is not meant to deigrate them in any way or to say I would not purchase one or it isnt good for a family of 4 ( the five included the hound and he takes as much room up as your kids////BTW kids grow up and leave....dogs dont
I can look at at Catalina as a quick cruiser....but I can not put them in same class as the Farr, Sabre, C&C, some Bennes and other racer cruisers that Paulo has mentioned from Europe like Hanse, X Yachts. They do not compete and they do not point to windward the same. They arent designed to. Seems to me if they were they would be in these races.
Hey Dave,
TO be clear, as I have said several times now, the C400 is NOT as fast as a J122 or a First as stock. No way. Corrected, I might give them a run for their money (I think that PHRF is too high, but I certainly wouldn't argue that before the race!!). Also, you mentioned why sailing flat was important? It is a piece of the puzzle. As a boat heels, the wind spills. If you have two C&C's, one has your keel and the other has a 30 foot keel, I suspect the 30 foot keel will outrun you (assuming they keep it narrow, weight at bottom, etc). Why, because they are able to maximize the same wind that you would be spilling. THis is why a sailboat does not easily turtle: as it heels, the wind forces decrease. These forces decrease until the force pushing the mast down equal the forces pulling it up. Right? That is why sailing flat (ON SOME BOATS... not all) is beneficial. That is why a stiff boat is beneficial. Using your example, the AC boats don't sail flat. Heck no. They have enormous masts and sail areas. THey are making the ideal compromise between how much forward force they want and balancing that against sailing flat. I bet if they could keep enough weight on the rail to make that boat flat, they would. The problem is that when they turn to run or beam reach, where these heeling forces are minimized, these huge masts and SA really kick in. Also, we have won races against boats that are over powered. If you have too much sail out, and your boat is heeled too much, you will actually go slower than having the correct sail are out to find your sweet spot. That sweet spot changes, depending on boats. I find many of the IOR boats like a good bit of heel. I find many of the mo modern, flat bottom boats, like to sail more flat. And since they have to finish the race with all the crew (don't laugh, you have to... funny story I can share with crew jumping off to win), its a balance.
If stiffness is defined as a boat ability to withstand the wind forces, and my boat has a higher resistance to those forces than a different boat, then doesn't that make my boat a stiffer boat? For example (extreme example): If you take two america's cup boats. They are exactly the same in every way except one has a 10sf of sail area, the other has 5000 sf of sail area, which boat would be the stiffer boat? I would say the boat with 10sf. Its ability, as set, because it has very little force opposing the RM (keel), makes it a very stiff boat. Their initial stability would likely be the same, though. Is that correct?
Note, this does not mean the 10sf boat is faster, just because it is stiffer. The 10sf AC boat is going to get smoked by the other. But the 10sf's ability to withstand the wind forces, because of a rediculously small mast and force, is much higher. It's a stiffer boat.
If I were to put the mast of that AC boat on my boat, would my boat be stiffer than the AC or less stiff? It would be a million times less stiff (assuming it didn't simply tip over)!! But with my mast, and my vastly lower sail area, can my boat, "resist the wind forces" more than an AC, and thus be a stiffer boat? If I did not have a mast at all, wouldn't my boat be a stiffer boat than an AC boat because my ability to withstand the wind foreces would be vastly higher? I simply have no force pushing it over.
THat is my issue with this discussion and what I do not understand. Paulo, I think you gave an excellent example and great explanation earlier. Thank you. I am simply saying that stiffer does not always mean faster. My boat might be stiffer than a J122 (I am not saying that it is), but it certainly is not faster. Stiffness to me seems only to be one piece of many pieces of a puzzle. I completely agree with you that if have two of the same boats, one that is stiffer than the other, the stiffer boat should be faster if everything else stays equal.

It is disgusting to perform dissection on animals when other scientific means are available. It is even more disgusting to involve chidren by including the activity in their curriculum. Thanks God government in my country had more sence not to expose children to such cruelty and barbarism!

text: It's been an eventful year in the world of mixed martial arts, but the real fun may only have just begun. With the UFC's stranglehold on the market strengthening and with the popularity of the sport on the rise, there are still frontiers to conquer, as well as trouble looming just ahead. Here are my five predictions for the coming year, which should be a memorable one:


text: 000 FXUS63 KLMK 251044 AFDLMK AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 644 AM EDT Mon May 25 2015 ...Updated Aviation Discussion... .SHORT TERM (Now through Tuesday)... Issued at 303 AM EDT Mon May 25 2015 An upper level trof above the Ozarks and vorticity stretched out along the lower Mississippi Valley have been producing showers and thunderstorms to our west throughout the overnight hours. These features will head northeast today and will spread showers and embedded thunderstorms through southern Indiana and central Kentucky. While severe weather is not expected, high precipitable water values and deep warm cloud depths suggest locally heavy downpours will be possible. The best chances for rain still appear to be during the first half of the day west of I-65 and this afternoon to the east. Despite a warm start to the day, clouds and rain will prevent temperatures from rising much. Will continue with going forecast of highs around 80. Convection should taper off this evening, and then regenerate after midnight as the next wave, positioned near El Paso TX this morning, starts to enter the region from the west. It will be another warm, muggy night with lows 65 to 70. On Tuesday that upper wave will cross the region over the course of the day, resulting in shower and thunderstorm activity. Though wind fields will be a little stronger on Tuesday, instability does not look very impressive -- especially if we have widespread convection in the morning. SWEAT Index remains AOB 300 all day. Wet bulb zero is fairly high, there`s not much dry air aloft, and mid-level lapse rates remain fairly weak. The occurrence of strong/severe storms will be highly dependent on just how much surface destabilization we can realize. If we see less shower/storm activity in the morning than currently expected, and a few more holes in the clouds to allow some insolation, then the potential is there for some stronger storms. Confidence, at this point, is somewhat lower than usual for Tuesday. With or without strong/severe storms Tuesday, locally heavy downpours will certainly be a possibility. Temperatures Tuesday should be similar to Monday (depending greatly on how much rain and/or sun we receive), and we`ll go with max temps around 80 once again. .LONG TERM (Tuesday Night through Sunday)... Issued at 250 AM EDT Mon May 25 2015 The main focus in the long term is precipitation chances each day as a moist and seasonably warm airmass holds over the lower Ohio Valley. The synoptic pattern Tuesday night is expected to feature a weak shortwave trough passing through the lower Great Lakes. In addition, the right entrance region of a 300 mb jet will be favorably positioned over the region, providing weak but sufficient forcing for ascent. Some elevated instability is noted in the soundings, so will continue to carry 30 to 50 percent POPs during the overnight. Another mild night with lows 65 to 70. Though the main upper level forcing moves off to the north/east Wednesday, the moist and warm airmass will result in 1500 to 2000 J/kg of SBCAPE by afternoon in a mostly uncapped environment. This supports diurnally driven thunderstorms for the afternoon to early evening hours. Shear environment is very weak, so not anticipating any strong organized convection. Highs 78-82. 25.00z deterministic and ensemble guidance show a weak shortwave trough moving through southern Indiana Thursday, which may be enough of a focus for shower/storm enhancement during the afternoon. Moisture/instability not as favorable though, so kept POPs mainly in the 30 to 40 percent range. Thursday night into Saturday, forecast models are agreeing that the southeast US upper ridge and surface high begin to build back over the region. This could result in a drier period and for now carried 20-30 percent chance of afternoon showers/storms. 850mb temps nudge up a degree or two these days, so highs 85-88 are expected with overnight lows in the mid/upper 60s to around 70. Saturday night into early next week, models begin to show the central Plains trough advance eastward again while a surface front slowly approaches from the northwest. There is uncertainty in how fast the southeast US ridge breaks down, allowing this system to approach the local area. A time trend analysis suggests the ridge may hold longer into the weekend. As a result, a model consensus of 30 to 40 percent POPs seem reasonable at this time but could end up being lowered later if trends in more/stronger ridging continue. Plan on near normal temperatures of highs in the low/mid 80s and lows in the 60s. && .AVIATION (12Z TAF Update)... Updated at 644 AM EDT Mon May 25 2015 An upper wave currently over the lower Mississippi Valley will head northeast today and will bring showers and embedded thunderstorms to the region. Ceilings, and occasionally visibilities, will be low-end VFR or high-end MVFR. Southerly winds will become gusty, with 3-sec speeds of 20-25 knots possible. Convection will taper off by late afternoon at SDF/BWG and early evening at LEX. Redevelopment will then be possible at after midnight tonight and into Tuesday morning as another wave comes in from the southwest. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. IN...NONE. && $$ Short Term........13 Long Term.........ZT Aviation..........13

I like a time travel novel as much as I love watching the Back to the Future series in one sitting - A whole lot. Time travel stories offer so many possibilities. With endless character story-lines that weave delicately into one another, readers are transported from the very beginning of time, to the very end of the world.
Timeshaft is one of these stories.
It has the character that you just know ties it all together. It has travel between very early life right to the very end. It has future predictions that are an absolute possibility.
The chapters follow separate storylines of the characters, that every so often, interlock together until eventually, we find out how they are all connected. The reader follows the very first time travelers who are responsible for damaging the timeshaft on their first voyage, to the time traveler who is responsible for saving the world.
It's everything you want from a time travel adventure. The scenes are depicted so well it feels as if you are travelling through the timeshaft into another part of time.
More importantly, Bint touches on my favourite time travel subject: The past can never be changed because you were always there to change it in the first place. Time travel can boggle the mind, and I've spent many hours debating the very subject.
I would however, find it quite agreeable to discuss this topic with Stewart Bint.
Fast paced, intelligent and well written. If you're a lover on time travel such as myself, then make sure you read Timeshaft.
One more thing - Awesome main character name.

Timeshaft was a rollercoaster voyage through time, with a thousand twists and turns I never saw coming! As well as being incredibly well written, Timeshaft is intelligent and thought-provoking. It's an admirable skill to write a science fiction book packed with action which is still able to stun the reader and trap them in a whirlwind of mind-boggling time paradoxes. On numerous occasions I had to stop reading and unravel the clever interwoven strands of the story, just so it made sense in my head. I adore a story that can have such an effect on me. This book also had elements of horror that were thrilling and horrifying, such as an incredibly well written future world ridden with darkness-dwelling spiders (*shudder*). Another amazing work by Mr Bint. I eagerly await the release of his next novel, 'In Shadows Waiting' and have absolutely no doubt that it will be yet another belter.

I have just finished this book and was relatively pleased with the outcome oc the story. However, the overall premise of time travel and paradoxes has brn done many, many times. What makes this different is the addition of the shaft itself, almost a seperate character......Overall the story is cliched and at times predictable but is, nevertheless, an enjoyable romo through time. I would recommed it to others and look forward to the authors next book.....

We all like to watch science fiction on the big screen. It's interesting to see the technology that curtails from an author's mind and how their imagination comes to life in a story. I myself like sy-fy so in reading "Time shaft" I was taken in by what Stewart Bint was saying in his novel. I really like the air cars and the soap opera that seemed to be the talk of town so to speak. But what I enjoyed about the novel was his use of words. I will say Mr Bint is a words smith in his own rights. The first few sentences are a testimony to what I'm talking about and I will give you an example.
"Fog hung low over the dying lands – a fog far removed from the shimmering white mist once seen above fields and water in the moments after dawn. On this now-tainted world dawns had long since ceased to exist. So had sunsets, so had days, so had nights."
The way Mr Bint describes in detail of the surroundings and the description of the events in this story are fantastic. I won't spoil you all with any more details. But I highly praise this book and you won't be disenchanted after you have finished reading it.

Launching straight into a different world and technology I made a slow start with this one, but after a couple of chapters it started to come together, at which point I was hooked and found it hard to put down. The novel is action-based, and I would have appreciated some further rounding of the characters other than Ashday's Child, to make them 3- (or should it be 4-) -dimensional, but it hangs together nonetheless. Nice twist at the end, just as you thought you had it all in the bag. Would recommend this to other readers of this genre and intend to read more by this author.

Stewart does a great job of tying up the complicated ends that time travel creates from the opening event to revealing the mystery of Ashday's Child. The story is entertaining and fast paced, weaving through the past and present of a scifi version of our world, making you wonder where the destiny of the human race will lead. I think we already need WorldSave to ensure the future remains bright!
I think the only failings is that I would have loved to have seen the dialogue snap a little more to match the intriguing situations. You just know these characters have a smart comeback, but they tend to stick to the facts. And I have to admit, I kept wondering how people from so many different times had no problem talking to each other. Perhaps I missed a simple explanation that a society able to travel through time can also unravel languages by being too caught up in where the story would take me next.
Timeshaft is a fun read without being too long or too heavy into scientific explanations. All the loose ends are wrapped up (with just a hint of what else could be out there to wonder about a sequel), giving you a sense of happy accomplishment when you reach the last page.

What a brilliant story. I took Timeshaft to Turkey as holiday reading and couldn't put it down. Well done Mr Bint, I hope there are more to come.

ST MARYS - A former employee of the Walmart Supercenter in Fox Township charged with stealing $20,000 from the store over a two-year period was in District Court Tuesday, where she waived her preliminary hearing on charges of theft by unlawful taking of moveable property, a third-degree felony.
Seeking to utilize their newly-renovated social hall and kitchen while helping to build a better sense of community within the parish, St. Leo Magnus Roman Catholic Church pastor Brian Vossler recently unveiled a plan to hold a fish fry event on the second Friday of each month beginning in January.
JOHNSONBURG – Pennsylvania's new Land Bank law has caught the attention of the Borough of Johnsonburg.
On Oct. 24, Governor Tom Corbett signed House Bill 1682, now known as the Land Bank Act, into law. The new legislation is designed to act as a legal tool for municipalities in Pennsylvania to combat blighted and tax delinquent properties.
The Elk County Courthouse was the setting Monday for jury selection in the trial of Francis Anthony Milliard, 55, of Ridgway, charged with arson and insurance fraud after allegedly conspiring to burn down his 115 Front St. property in Johnsonburg in a fire that occurred on Dec. 4, 2008.
The courtroom swelled with a pool of roughly 120 potential jurors from which attorneys would choose just 12 primary jurors and two alternates to serve in the upcoming three-day trial set to begin Jan. 30, 2013.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Borough Council approved the budget for the 2013 fiscal year that includes a one-mill tax increase in the general fund.
With the Elk County sheriff's department reportedly facing a projected budget deficit of approximately $9,000 and the board of commissioners unwilling to cover the monetary figure, sheriff Jeffrey C. Krieg said Sunday night that he, along with chief deputy Theresa Merritt, will be working "until all this is settled."
Starting today, the Elk County sheriff's department will be shut down until possibly the end of the calendar year as ordered by the county's board of commissioners.
RUSSELL CITY – Miraculously, no one was injured Friday morning when a box truck collided with a trailer hauling a crane on Route 66 just west of Russell City in Elk County.
The Ridgway Township Municipal Authority approved the 2013 operating budget during their regular meeting Thursday night.
Finance Manager Jeff Schutz briefed officials on a budget that has a total estimated operating revenue of $986,870.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg School District is a recent recipient of a grant they will use to purchase laptop computers. Â
"The district received a $6,534 grant from the Elk County Community Foundation," said Dennis Crotzer, Superintendent. "This money will be used in conjunction with our title money to purchase 15 laptops for the teachers."

More than 60 percent of 12th graders leave high school without the advanced reading and writing skills needed for college.
That's according to a newly released report from the Alliance for Excellent Education.
The report notes that while the share of jobs in the United States that require postsecondary education has increased from 28 percent to 60 percent in the 1970s, the literacy performance of 17-year-olds has remained the same. A
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The number of high schools with chronically low graduation rates has fallen in Arizona and New Mexico, according to a study released Monday by a group of education organizations.
The two states have also increased the percentage of fourth- and eighth-grade students who can read proficiently. And more students in both states are taking advanced placement tests than several years ago.
However, the report shows Arizona, New Mexico and other western states are lagging behind when it comes to improving their graduation rates. In fact, the report puts Arizona and New Mexico in a group of 10 states that had lower rates in 2009 than they did seven years earlier.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — School districts soon will be able to opt out of a common ammonia-treated ground beef filler critics have dubbed "pink slime."
Amid a growing social media storm over so-called "lean finely textured beef," the U.S. Department of Agriculture was set to announce Thursday that starting in the fall schools involved in the national school lunch program will have the option of avoiding the product.
Under the change, schools will be able to choose between 95 percent lean beef patties made with the product or less lean bulk ground beef without it. The change won't kick in immediately because of existing contracts, according to a USDA official with knowledge of the decision.
New Board of Education officers were elected at Tuesday's school board meeting. Kevin Honnell was appointed president; Dawn Venhaus was appointed vice president and Melanie McKinley was named secretary. New officers are chosen once a year.
Editor's note: Due to a source error, the wrong photo and story about the Los Alamos High School Science Bowl team was submitted to the Los Alamos Monitor Thursday.
For the third year in a in a row, the Los Alamos High School Science Bowl team won first place in the Regional Science Bowl March 4 on the Albuquerque Academy campus. Approximately 34 teams from New Mexico high schools competed in the regional event.
Launched in 1991, the Science Bowl is a competitive science education and academic event among teams of high school students who compete in a fast-paced verbal forum to solve technical problems and answer questions in all branches of science and math. Each team is composed of four students plus an alternate.
Employee salaries of 32 New Mexico school districts are now available online.
And it's not the work of state government's Sunshine Portal, but rather that of the Albuquerque-based Rio Grande Foundation.
Rio Grande Foundation President Paul Gessing said the non-profit organization requested the data from 40 school districts with populations exceeding 1,000 through the state's public records law. Eight, however, failed to comply with the law's 15-day timeframe. Those school districts include Alamogordo, Cobre, Las Vegas, Lovington, Ruidoso, Silver City, and two northern New Mexico school districts: Taos and Pojoaque.
The Los Alamos High School bus loop issue will go back to the drawing board.
Tuesday night, board members voted unanimously to reopen an investigation on the loop after hearing public comments and being unable to reach a unanimous decision.
Before the meeting two options were on the table. One would have a bus loop running in front of the Instructional Media Center, which would have cut into the green space that's currently there. The second option was a redesign of the Duane Smith parking lot.
In December, the board voted 4-1 to approve the bus loop option that would position it in front of the IMC, which carries a price tag of $155,000. At that time, Board Vice President Kevin Honnell voted against it.
The Los Alamos Board of Education will meet in a special session at 5:30 p.m. today in the Speech Theater at Los Alamos High School. The only item on the agenda is the high school bus loop.
The public is invited to attend the meeting and comment on plans for a new bus loop at LAHS. The Board will use this opportunity to inform the public on the latest proposal to construct a bus loop at the high school.
Pros and cons of two different proposals — one of which is a new access off Diamond Drive and the other involves a reconfiguration of the Smith lot.
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The Santa Fe school board has ousted Superintendent Bobbie Gutierrez.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that the board voted late Monday to end Gutierrez's contract before it was scheduled to expire June 2013.
The move followed a closed-door session that lasted more than two hours.
Last spring, Gutierrez came under fire from new board members after Lynn Vanderlinden, the district's director of assessment and accountability, released a questionable report detailing increases in student proficiency.
Critics said Gutierrez asked Vanderlinden to rig the report to play up increases without taking into account data on students whose proficiency actually decreased.
The Los Alamos Public Schools Board of Education has approved moving ahead with a $400,000 round of improvements to the district's administrative headquarters.
Jim Graf of Van H. Gilbert Architect PC shared renderings with improvements of the administrative office at 2075 Trinity Dr.
Plans include handicapped-accessible spaces and modifications to the parking lot grade.
In addition, the building will be made more user-friendly, with a clearly marked entrance and a break room for employees. The project will carry an estimated cost of $400,000.
Following a timeline discussion, board members decided that the project should be tackled quickly. It will come back for a formal vote at a future meeting.

I have been battling thrush for 4 months now and wanted to run a mysterious symptom by everyone.
My nipples get this white peeling skin on my nipples a few days after treatments. Can this be dead skin, or is it gentian violet killing my skin?
Anyone else get peeling skin on their nipples during thrush?

I think both look good in there own respect. Isha has a very fit body clearly works out so her shoulders are more prominent in the dress. Thats why it seems a little mannish on isha. But it still looks good. Alia is really young so the dress seems to gown types on her id rather her dress in shorter fun dresses. Ur like 19. Be 19. But at same time she also looks great! I think isha wins though cause its age appropriate on her and her body looks smoking hot.
i dont think either, because neither have the curves i dont think. I think priyanka or deepika would have pulled it off waaay better
The dress is meh... Not great... But will say Alia looks a wee but better maybe the photo angle or the hair on the side, but Isha's from pose with the dress on her shoulders does not look good...
Isha pulled it off much better in my opinion...but to each its own.
The dress is the loser IMO rather than the actresses who wore it!
IMO, Alia looked better than Isha in that particular outfit. It kind of stayed better over the shoulder edge on Alia, in comparison to Isha.
Well written!
@nimmi- I don't think this post is hilarious from any angle. The writers have come up with an idea of comparison between actresses who have worn the same gown.
It's just for the audience's entertainment, to see who looked better in their own opinion.
I fail to understand how or why there was a need to pass such a remark.
Edited on:30 April 2013 at 11:49am
aliaa looks prettier than esha :D
OMG, it is so difficult to be an actress. Besides acting, dancing, dieting and rehearsing, you need to keep track of who wears what when n where. Pheww.. too much of work.
This is such a hilarious post!!!!
They wore the same dress...so what...?! Alia didnt even know that Esha had already worn it..
Whats such a big deal???! It happens with everyone...
They are actresses...who are human...stop making posts which make all the Bollywood Actors seem like they have descended from some other planet!!
I think Alia's looking more cute. :)
