Caspi Silver Guide
Caspi Silver is composed of expert sculptors, artists and silversmith to bring you the highest quality Judaica. With its family-ownership, unique designs and quality craftsmanship it is no wonder that Caspi Silver is one of the top names in Judaica today. Caspi Silver manufactures silver gifts, Judaica, jewelry, figurines, table gifts, miniatures, and more.
What is Caspi Silver?
Amnon Caspi designs and creates unique sterling silver items. As an infant he developed polio which left his legs paralyzed. Caspi, who now walks with the aid of crutches, defeated all odds and went on to earn an advanced degree. Together with his brother Eric they opened Caspi Silver Ltd in 1986. Today Amnon and his wife own and run the workshop located in Netanya, Israel. Caspi employs new immigrants from various countries as well as disabled people who were unable to find other occupations.
925 sterling silver is used in all Caspi Silver products. Many Caspi Silver pieces are made using the electroforming process in which the formation of a layer of sterling silver is made over a mold of resin (similar to hard plastic). This method which typically takes between 10-12 hours, allows the beautifully designed sterling silver, with its stunning and detailed designs to be created without the heavy weight and often very high costs that is typical of conventional solid sterling pieces. Caspi Silver pieces such as Kiddush cups often contain glass. Some items such as candlesticks may contain other metals such as brass inserts which are often used to prevent damage.
Caspi Silver make a wide range of beautiful Judaica products including Menorahs, candlesticks, mezuzahs, jewelry and more. Caspi Silver Judaica items come in modern and unique designs that at the same time reach back through Jewish history to bring forth the traditional beauty of silver Judaica.
Decorations on Caspi Silver include the Hebrew letter 'Shin' which is decorated on the Mezuzah case representing the Shema prayer. Other decorations include the Star of David, the dove, which symbolizes peace, biblical scenes such as Noah's ark, and the seven spices, particularly pomegranates. Some of the most popular Caspi Silver Judaica items feature scenes of the western wall and beautiful depictions of the old city of Jerusalem.
Judaica items from Caspi Silver are a wonderful way to decorate the home and make excellent gifts for any occasion. Kiddush cups and Candlesticks can serve as both Judaica art to display as well as being functional pieces used for Jewish ritual. Caspi Silver offers a collection of lovely Judaica items for Jewish holidays throughout the year.

Air Asia VS Firefly @ Subang Airport!
Most of us are familiar with the LCCT as most of the time; we took Air Asia flights as it is rather affordable. And for the first time last week, I took the Firefly instead and have to go to the Subang airport, or also known as Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport.
It is an old on airport, built back in 1965 with the longest runway in South East Asia! Most of the places are under construction to turn it to an ultra modern hub, SkyPark.
Currently there are only banks, a diamond shop (who does diamond-shopping while waiting for flight?!) and the competitors, Air Asia counter in the airport! Not to mention, a small "mamak stall"-café known as 'Makcik Café', selling prepacks food!
And flying back from Langkawi, I was surprised to see the 'baggage claim' area which is at the entrance of a door. People were standing there, waiting for the flight officer to put our luggage at the door. The respective owners would then take their own bags. I saw a small conveyer belt by the corridor, which was for baggage claim in the future I suppose.
Well, although it was a little empty and boring and 'traditional', I find that it is more convenient to go as it is in Subang. I could take a cab from my house in PJ and it cost me about only RM25 per trip. I have to buy taxi coupon from the counter on the way home and it cost me only RM22 to go back to PJ. Much more affordable and save time on travelling to the airport compared to KLIA and LCCT.
And the Firefly plane was quite ok too. It was small planes like Air Asia's and it could seat 52 people. Check In baggage is free (oppose to AirAsia's baggage charges) and they even give refreshment in the plane. Just some biscuits and orange juice but still better than Air Asia.
And you get seat numbers in the plane as well. I am not sure if the numbers are assigned during booking or check-in though.
Another thing that I like about FireFly is there is not as many passengers like in Air Asia, which means less queue and less crowd. But then again, it doesn't fly to as many places as Air Asia. So yeah.. =)

It's true for us staying in PJ, it's definitely cheaper taking taxi to Subang airport and back. Also, less crowd there is an added plus. Only concern is, how good is the Firefly airplanes? May just consider Firefly next time : )

HTC Sensation to get a CPU speed bump to 1.5 GHz, says FCC
We have some good news for those in the US that plan on purchasing an HTC Sensation 4G. The manufacturer of the Android smartphone just got its request to make hardware changes to the Sensation approved by the HTC.
The request involves pushing up the CPU speed to 1.5GHz and replacing the battery with a bigger one. We already knew that the bigger battery that ships with the Beats-loving Sensation XE is compatible with the original Sensation, but we thought that the only way to get it is to purchase it as an accessory.
Anyway, HTC is obviously going to bring the US Sensation on par with the Sensation XE in terms of battery life and performance. Now, if only they would release a firmware update with the Beats audio tweaks, the difference between the two devices will boil down to the headset supplied in the retail package.
We are also hoping that HTC will bring an update for the existing Sensation 4G units (and their Sensation brothers outside the US), bringing their dual-core CPUs clock speed to 1.5GHz. There are no hardware differences between the Sensation smartphones so it is possible. So far though, there has been nothing official about it.
Thanks Raymund, for sending this in!

Shaun Lorenzano, Lake Howell's defensive coordinator the last two seasons, was announced Tuesday as the new head football coach at Cypress Creek.
"We loved his attitude," said athletic director Bobby Biaggi. "He's ready to come in and turn around our program."
Lorenzano played high school football at Lyman and graduated in 1996. He returned in 2008 as an assistant coach under Bill Caughell for four seasons. He spent the last two years at Lake Howell.
"Helping Lake Howell turn it around was a great challenge and a great experience," said Lorenzano. "It was a dream of mine to be a head coach."
Cypress Creek has struggled in recent years, going 1-9 in each of the past two seasons.
"Its a challenge. A rebuild. I'm attracted to that," said Lorenzano. "We just need to focus on building an identity. Once the players know who they are I think they will flourish."
Lorenzano plans to meet the team on campus Wednesday afternoon.

GREENFIELD — Even with an especially young lineup, coach Jason Stewart expected this season's Greenfield-Central softball team to win at least 18 games, the same number as last year's squad.
What the ninth-year coach didn't forecast – with 27 freshmen and sophomores and no seniors on the 29-player roster – was a dominant 8-1 start.
The Cougars swept Beech Grove 5-3 and 16-3 in a doubleheader Friday to continue their torrid opening pace to 2014.
In eight victories, the inexperienced varsity group has plated 94 runs.
"We've played above what I expected," Stewart said. "You didn't really have a clue with this many young kids.
"The biggest thing has been kids that are hitting the ball that we wouldn't have dreamed of. You've got the kids that you expect to do big things, but we've got four others that have really surprised us."
Two of the Cougars' four surprises, according to Stewart, are sophomores Erika Knapp and Katey Addison, and each played a role in G-C's Game 1 win over the visiting Hornets (0-6).
With the Cougars trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning, Codey Miller and Knapp led off with back-to-back singles. With one out, Addison delivered both base runners with a single to tie give G-C a 3-2 lead.

Category 17: THE CENTRE AWARD
This award goes to the person, team or organisation whose work has made an outstanding contribution to any aspect of the industry — through broadcasting, production or technical sectors within the region and beyond with a special focus over the period from November 2011 to the end of December 2012. Their work, either in front of the camera or behind the scenes, should have made a significant and lasting impact on audiences and viewers in the North East and the Borders — and on a wider stage. The judges are keen to invite nominations from as broad a spectrum of talents as possible, including production teams, across the spectrum of broadcast and non broadcast production. Evidence of recent exceptional achievement(s) should be included. Nominations for the Centre Award were sent in confidence to the Chair of the Judges.
Please note the distinction between the annual Centre Award and those Lifetime Achievement awards which have been made on occasion to reflect particular circumstances and/or individuals' lifelong record of excellence.
The Judges said:
The winner of this year's Centre award really is one of the unsung heroes, or should we say heroines, of the North of England production sector. For the past twenty years she has been key to bringing countless films and television productions to this corner of the United Kingdom. Without her charm and determination, Harry Potter would never have set foot in Alnwick Castle and TV detectives Vera Stanhope and George Gently would be policing very different beats.
Her number is on speed-dial for every crew, facilities house and production company in the North of England, and she is known and trusted by the big network players both here and in Hollywood. She has been the lynchpin for locations and crews through her time with the Northern Screen commission and more recently with Northern Film & Media's Production Service, which offers location and logistical support for anyone making television or movies in the North East. It's also an important resource for North East crews looking to secure employment and further their careers.
In the past 12 months, NFM have negotiated their way through a series of catastrophic funding cuts; they have streamlined their overheads and staffing levels, and reshaped their services. Yet, all the while, the volume of production is as high as ever, with returning brands like the BBC's George Gently and ITV's Vera, The Paradise, new titles such as The Dumping Ground and Hebburn, and a steady stream of factual entertainment shows including Climbed Every Mountain and Geordie Shore. All have benefited in some way from the infrastructure, knowledge gathering, crew and facilities database development and the ground-breaking Filming Friendly Charter developed with all the local authorities in the North East.
Of course, filming brings major economic benefits to the region — more than fifty million pounds of production spend in the last ten years alone, creating and sustaining hundreds of jobs — and importantly showcasing the life and landscape of this amazing part of the world to millions of television and cinema viewers.
So…for twenty years of securing so many productions to be made here; for her attention to detail; her encyclopaedic knowledge of buildings and landscape; for her terrific understanding of the needs and nuances of everyone involved in the production sector from crews to councils, and of course for her legendary cake-baking skills… this year's Centre Award goes to Northern Film & Media's Production Service Manager – GAYLE WOODRUFFE

While surfing on 20th November 2011, I clicked yahoo health page & then clicked at " 5 'Forbidden' Foods Diabetics Don't Have to Avoid". From that page I searched for natural herbal remedies for diabetes and came across a name "BANABA". Afterwards I started the detailed search for "banaba" on many related sites, materia medicas, medical & plant dictionaries but could not find it's details such as "common name" Hindi, Indian, Urdu, Persian or Punjabi name, it's identification, other uses, etc; anywhere except that:
"Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) is a plant native to India, Southeast Asia and the Philippines and has several medicinal uses. In many cultures the banaba leaf is brewed into a tea and used as a treatment for diabetes and as a weigh loss aid. Banaba Leaf Extract provides a blood sugar lowering effect similar to that of insulin in that it induces glucose transport from the blood into body cells."
I'll be highly obliged if detailed information/identification of the herb/plant "banaba" is provided to me!
Moreover, If the above remedy is used in homoeopathy, what is it's homoeopathic name & what is it's proving history.
If used as herbal medicine then what are the details?
Thanks to anybody who provides informations regarding "banaba"!

The theme for this week is "a day in my life". That is a tough one. Trust me, you would be pretty bored with a typical day in my life. After thinking about it for a bit, I decided to take my camera with me on our trip to Dallas this past weekend. The first thing we did was stop for lunch. I snapped a few pictures of my boys coloring while we waited.

RestaurantOwner.com is for independent restaurant owners who are serious
about improving their restaurant business.
We believe what restaurant owners don't know costs them lots of money.
And many, if not most, independent restaurants struggle and ultimately fail
because the owner lacks the fundamental business skills and tools to
manage the business side of the restaurant. This causes a lack of understanding of
how the restaurant is actually performing and results in faulty
decision-making based more on intuition, gut feel and emotion as opposed to
Another reason independent restaurants struggle is they are operationally
disorganized. Without good hiring guidelines, training programs, checklists,
procedures and systems it's impossible to provide customers with what they want
most - consistency and predictability.
RestaurantOwner.com has an extensive library of over 300 downloadable templates - created by successful restaurant professionals - to help operators customize and implement their systems and procedures
quickly and easily. Examples include training manuals, job descriptions,
checklists, menu costing, business plans, financial and accounting worksheets
and much, much more.
While the vast majority of our members are independent restaurant owners and
operators, we have members who are in the process of opening a restaurant.
We have an entire department of startup resources that includes startup
checklists, opening manual templates, financial feasibility models and articles
on preparing a restaurant business plan, raising capital and much more. Members
can also get a head start on developing their employee handbooks, training
manuals, procedures, etc.
Some of our members are thinking about getting into the restaurant
business some day. For them, our website provides a bird's eye view of
what's involved and what it takes to create a restaurant from scratch and turn
it into a financial success. Access to our Discussion Forum exposes them to the
many challenges and issues restaurant owners deal with on a daily basis. For
many, it's a major eye-opener and they decide to pursue another business

St. Luis, Missouri -- The streets in the Missouri community of Ferguson are relatively quiet today.
But there are still some signs of the unrest from last night where more than 30 people were arrested on charges including assault, burglary and theft.
The violence followed a vigil for an unarmed teen that was fatally shot by police in the St. Louis suburb.
Ferguson, Missouri police report 32 arrests mostly for looting. At about a dozen stores like this one set on fire.
Michael Brown, police acknowledge, was unarmed. They are giving as many details as they can about of the shooting but that's not many.
They say the confrontation began with an assault inside the police cruiser. A struggle for the gun they say was inside the cruiser.
One shot was fired inside the police car, and then they say the struggle spilled out into the street. They say they don't know why the encounter began.
They don't know exactly what happened inside that car. And they are still trying to determine all these details.
That has led to a lot of anger and skepticism in this community over the police version of the account.

The mission will place a rover on the surface to search for signs of environmental and chemical conditions that may have supported microbial life. However, in the search for life on other planets, there may also be some risk to life right here on earth.
Curiosity will include 10.6 pounds of Plutonium 238, a relatively âhotâ synthesized isotope used for propulsion and heating purposes. Karl Grossman is a professor of journalism at the State University of New York/College at Old Westbury. He has been investigating the dangers of nuclear contaminations since the Three Mile Island meltdown. He says his views on the potential dangers to the public are based on real-world odds.
One millionth of a gram of PU-238 is fatal to humans, and NASAâs environmental impact statements describe a significant portion of central Florida being effected if an accident were to occur at Cape Canaveral.
But NASA spokesperson Allard Beutel said his five year old son is 12 miles from the launch site, and heâs not worried. He said if there is a radioactive release, people should stay indoors and turn off their air conditioners, because Pu-238's radiation cannot penetrate even a sheet of paper. In 1964, one aborted mission released 2.1 pounds of plutonium. Grossman says this accident was felt worldwide, and has been connected to health concerns by a noted physician specializing in radioactive sciences.
Grossman wrote the book âThe Wrong Stuff: The Space Programâs Nuclear Threat to Our Planet.â His articles on the subject were included in Project Censoredâs Top Ten Censored Stories in the late 1990âs. Grossman says that the public is not aware of the potential fallout and that with proper planning and safer technologies, NASA can implement these programs without risk to an unknowing population.
Though scheduled for this Saturday, the launch window for Curiosity extends out to December 18th. Grossman continues to lecture on the perils of nuclear contaminations, and is a contributor for the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space.comments powered by Disqus

HOOVER, Ala. – Kentucky's A.J. Reed showed that a starting pitcher can also handle a pretty good bat.
In the first game of the Southeastern Conference Tournament Tuesday, Reed got the win on the mound and added four hits with a home run to help the Wildcats defeat the Ole Miss Rebels 2-0 at Regions Park.
"Obviously an outstanding performance by (Reed), both on the mound and at the plate," Kentucky coach Gary Henderson said. "Good players show up late in the season. They show up when it's most important and that is what he did (Tuesday)."
With the win, the Wildcats improved to 42-15 and earned a bye, while the Rebels fell to 34-23 and play Arkansas at 9:30 a.m. today.
It was the fifth-straight loss for Ole Miss and head coach Mike Bianco called it another "disappointing" outing for his team.
"The story of the game was obviously our inability to score," Bianco said. "We get runners on, and once again, it's happened to us for the past few weeks where we've either had the same amount of hits or more and struggled to get that timely hit."
Kentucky did make the most of its hits with a solo home run from Reed in the fourth inning to take a 1-0 lead, then scored the final run of the game in the sixth.
Reed was the only multiple hitter for the Wildcats with four, while Matt Snyder matched that total for the Rebels, but all of his were singles.
Ole Miss came back with ace pitcher Bobby Wahl, who kept them in the game with the six innings he worked. He gave up both runs on six hits and walked two with six strikeouts.
"We got a great effort from Bobby on short rest," Bianco said. "I'm really proud of the way he competed out there. It's hard to believe that he didn't have his best stuff the way it looked because he was terrific, I thought, the whole game."
Reed (5-2) scattered five hits over 5.2 innings pitched for Kentucky to get the win. He walked one and struck out three. Taylor Rogers, the usual first game starter during conference weekends, finished up the game to earn his first save of the season.
"That might have been Taylor Rogers' first relief appearance in three years," Henderson said. "I really wanted him on the mound. I wanted to make a statement to our guys that we were putting our Friday night guy out there to win."View more articles in:

On this name page, we have a lot of selected female Rottweiler names that are meant to fit the characteristics of these dogs. Rottweilers have a fascinating blend of characteristics, and can easily blend opposite traits without any problems. This means that these dogs are worthy of their own 'special' name don't you think? So, where do you start looking for female Rottweiler names? Right below!
Rottweilers can be a loving dog; however, she is usually very powerful and can be very serious when she wants to. She will be very protective and territorial of her family and can be very intimidating. Despite having the reputation of a vicious dog, she will do great in a family setting. However, due to the breed's nature their temperament can vary. Some dogs will be very caring and sometimes funny, while others will be bullies and stubborn. As a result it is important for you to socialize her at an early age and allow her to have daily contact with everyone in the family, so she will not attack anyone in the family. She should do well with children whom she was raised around, but you should never leave them unsupervised with her. She will have a natural desire to protect the home and family and will never welcome strangers until they have been properly introduced.
Bourbon: A good name if you want to name your girl after your favorite smoky drink. All you'll need now is a biscuit since you already have the fiery girl. This choice makes an excellent female names for Rottweilers.*Somewhat similar name ideas: Whisky, Moonshine, Hooch

Fia: A name meaning dark, any pretty and confident girl pet would be delighted to be called by this Irish Gaelic name. She has a good heart and all eyes are always on her.
Flora: Named after the Roman Goddess of Flowers this girl always smells sweet. This choice will suit your Rotti's personality; she is your own sweetie pie and goddess.*Somewhat similar name ideas: Daisy, Flower, Rosie
Leila: A beautiful female Rottie name which means "the black of the night," any sweet and loving female Rottweiler would be more than happy to respond to this word as her name. She is a strong, confident and very beautiful girl.
Lucia: Meaning "light" this girl dog will always keep your life bright and warm. Tough looking on the outside but really sweet inside; it's too bad only you know this. Her looks always tend to keep strangers at bay.

Raven: Like the black birds with the metallic violet luster, this name is suitable for a dark colored dog. This dog is one of nature's most adaptable creatures. She is intelligent and highly evolved like the bird.
Viktoria: The feminine of Viktor, this name means "conqueror." Any dog that gets this name will be a great leader that is easily satisfied. You won't normally hear anything out of her, but when you do it is a warning, someone is coming.*Somewhat similar name ideas: Cleopatra, Victory

(BTW, for future reference, Start Screen != All Apps. If you're going to compare the two, then you should be comparing Start to the little space you have to pins apps to, and not the All Programs menu. If you like folders, then app grouping should be up your alley. I'm not sure why you still prefer to run around in the all apps menu, but with Start being fullscreen, you have more room to pin and organize your stuff, which should eliminate the need to ever visit the all apps section. Even on Windows 7, All Programs is no saint - it's cramped, cluttered, and featureless.)
I have literally just started on Windows 7 today (coming from XP in a corporate environment). I love the new quirks and everything else. However, what I am quoting is an individual idea. It's that simple. For some people it works, for others I can only imagine the hell I'm going to have to deal with.
Is the end user wrong by pointing out that their system no longer works the way they are used to? No. Am I supposed to turn around to those end users and say, "too bad, this is the future"? I will no longer have a job if I say that.
I appreciate progression. My major point is that - being the inbetweener - people do not want this jarring change. And that is what Windows 8 is. It's a complete change for many end users, and it is me that ends up trying to help them to do a day-to-day task.
That's wrong.

Brick floor patterns: Basket weave, Herring Bone
2 Attachment(s)
(M) I looked at the 3 most common brick patterns: Running Bond, Basket Weave, and Herring Bone.
(M) Although I prefer the look of Basket weave for a patio, I need to choose a pattern for the FLOOR of our dome which has the shortest length of parallel bricks. The herring bone has only 1-1/2 bricks parallel; the other two have full courses.
Perhaps what I wrote is unclear. Here is the Approx. length of 1-1/2 bricks from below:
[ ]
(M) See the first picture below
But if we turn the Herring Bone 45 degrees, we get NO lines perpendicular to the handle of our peel! That looks like the next image; the above just turned 45 degrees:
(M) See the second picture below
If I've missed something important, let me know as the brick floor is my next step now that my Insulating Hearth has been poured.
i have nothing but admiration for those who are able to create a perfectly flat foundation for their hearth bricks. however, my base was more similar to the rocky mountains. i would highly recommend that after laying the brick, take an angle grinder with a masonry wheel and "touch up" any of the little ledges. i did this and i've never had a peel catch on a brick.
i did the same thing, though it caused the bricks to pit a little bit.
Basket weave?
1 Attachment(s)
All those little squares? Sounds like a pizza peel nightmare to me.
But maybe if they are a contrasting color firebrick...
It's not all that difficult, but you need the floor of your hearth to be made of rattan, or cane.
It's a thick disk -- 1/2" or more(?) with 3 or 4 large lugs welded onto the bottom. Each lug is probably 1/2" thick by 1/2" wide & 1 maybe 1 1/2" long (I'm not at home now so I can't be precise). The surface of the lugs have a diamond coating embedded. The neat thing is that it's flat so whatever it grinds is flat. One of the problems of trying to do that with a standard masonry wheel in an angle grinder is that it's designed to cut so you end up tilting the grinder and dragging or pushing the edge of the wheel on the surface of the brick to knock down the bumps. This can get out of hand and you can dish out the brick. The concrete surface wheel is resting flat on the surface & cuts with the flat side not the edge.
I think it cost me about $40 and I got it at Lowes. I believe mine is 4" in diameter. They have bigger ones (you can also buy a purpose built grinder for $$$) but the price went up in a hurry. A bigger one fits on the same angle grinder if you've taken the guard off (which I have) and would go faster. But I was able to grind the mortar off my kitchen floor after removing the tiles in only an hour or two so for an oven anything bigger than the 4" wheel is overkill. (BTW, when you grind mortar it turns back into the powdery dust it was when you took it out of the bag & mixed it with water to make the thinset for tiling...so grinding a whole floor of it is kind of like throwing a couple of 50lb bags up in the air. :eek: )
i used a similar disc, and i was definitely "overdoing it" as i didn't really have any bumps worth worrying about, but i had the disc and used it. the "pitting" was a result of the bricks being cast, and therefore having smooth faces where the wet material touched the forms. once you get just beneath the brick is more porous, which is why mine looked a bit pitted.
this does absolutely nothing but make my cooking surface look like there's ash or burnt flour on the surface while cooking, when in fact it's scraped and there is nothing there.

Swift Current's Reagan Hadden was the only Southwest rink to advance to Sunday play at the SaskTel Southern Men's Playdowns in Estevan, but his five game run ended with a 7-2 loss to Jason Krupski from the Whitewood Curling Club.
The Hadden rink never got on track in their C event semi-final match, with Krupski breaking open a 2-1 game with a pair in the fourth and a steal of three in the fifth to open an insurmountable 7-1 lead. Hadden counted a single in the seventh before the teams shook hands.
Hadden and the rink of third Joel Denning, second Nathan Glassford and lead Cody Mitchell were 2-3 at the 16-team triple-knockout but needed to win twice on Sunday if they hoped to advance to the SaskTel Provincial Men's Championship in Melfort on Jan. 30 to Feb. 3.
The Swift Current rink extended their stay in the field of teams playing on Sunday with a nerve wracking racking 10-8 extra end win over Regina's Clint Krismer in C event play on Saturday. Hadden counted two in the 11th end to capture the win in a game which Hadden nearly let slip through his fingers. Hadden scored a five ender in the third to take a 5-2 lead and he enjoyed a 7-3 advantage after five ends. Regina's Krismer counted a pair in the sixth to pull within 7-4, and after Hadden scored a single in the seventh, Krismer scored singles in the eighth, ninth and 10th ends to send the game into extra ends.
The Hadden foursome were put into a must-win situtaion when they were handed a 7-4 loss by Langenburg's Jeff Hartung during Draw #5 B event action on Friday evening. While Hadden was held to singles in the first, third, fifth and seventh ends, Hartung counted multiple-point ends thanks to scoring a pair in the second and fourth ends and a three-point end in the sixth.
Hadden scored an unlikely win in his B event opening contest, falling behind 7-2 after five ends but posting points in the final five ends to collect an 8-7 win over Wade Sydorko from Weyburn. After scoring a single with the hammer in the sixth to pull within 7-3, Hadden stole one in the seventh, a pair in the eighth, and singles in both the ninth and 10th end to steal the victory.
Hadden had a less than friendly welcome by Brent Gedak from the host Estevan Curling Club, with Gedak powering to an 8-3 win in eight ends. Gedak scored four in the opening end and stole a single in the second to open a dominating 5-0 lead. Hadden replied with singles in the third, fifth and eighth before shaking hands early.
Clayton Wicks had his run at Southerns end with a 1-3 record after dropping an 8-5 game to Wade Sydorko during Draw #8 action on Saturday afternoon. Sydorko held leads of 2-0, 4-1 and 5-2 before Wicks rebounded with a three ender in the eighth to tie the game at 5-5. Sydorko scored three in the ninth to end the game early.
Wicks rink featured third Ron Bailey, second Wayne Oakman and lead Mike Francis.
Wicks was bumped into the C event when he came out on the losing end of an 8-7 extra end decision to Regina's Mike Eberle in Draw #5 action on Friday evening. Wicks had rebounded from a 2-0 first end deficit with a pair in the second and a steal of two in the third to open a 4-2 lead. Eberle regained a 5-4 lead with a single in the fourth and a pair in the fifth. The rinks traded singles over the next five ends, with Wicks forcing the extra end by scoring a single in the tenth with the hammer.
Wicks had advanced into the B event quarter final with an exciting 7-6 extra end win over Regina's Clint Krismer. Wicks was cruising along with a 5-1 lead after five ends before Krismer rebounded with singles in the sixth, seventh and eight ends. Wicks opened a 6-4 lead with a single in the ninth, but Krismer forced the extra end with a pair in the 10th end.
The Wicks rink had an uphill battle in their playdown opener when they suffered an 8-4 loss to Moose Jaw's Joel Jordison, the 2009 Saskatchewan Tankard champion. Jordison had a trio of multiple point ends to win their opener over Wicks. Jordison counted two-point ends in the third and eighth ends, and they counted a three ender in the fifth and stole a single in the ninth. Wicks had singles in the second and fourth, and counted a pair in the seventh to pull within 5-4 with three ends remaining.
Shaylor Layman's rink from Lafleche bowed out of the SaskTel Southern Men's Playdowns in Estevan after three straight games.
In a must win C event game on Saturday morning Layman dropped an 8-1 decision to Clint Krismer from Regina's Tartan Curling Club. With the rinks tied at 1-1 after two ends, Krismer took total control with a pair in the third and he stole points in the next four ends before the teams shook hands after seven ends.
Shaylor Layman skipped the Lafleche Curling Club rink which also featured third Ron Lucas, second David Sproule and lead Tyler Sewell.
Layman dropped his B event draw 9-2 to Jason Krupski from Whitewood. Krupski scored three enders in the first and fourth ends before the teams shook hands after six ends.
Layman's rink made their Southern Men's debut on Thursday but dropped a 6-2 nine end decision to Chris Busby from Regina's Highland Curling Club. In the playdown opening loss they could only manage singles in the fifth and seventh ends. Busby had hammer and blanked the first three ends before taking a pair in the fourth. The Regina rink scored all their points in multi-point ends, also counting a pair in the sixth and eighth.

I'm interested in using soapstone for the hearth of a masonry oven. Does anyone have experience with this material/application? Will the heat retaining qualities of soapstone provide anything that a traditional firebrick will not? Thanks for your help!
Re: Soapstone
Soapstone is a nice material, but it costs so much more than firebrick that most of us haven't considered it more than briefly. If you are in a cost-no-object situation, than by all means go for it and let us know how it works out.
Here's a link to a temporary oven built at a MHA meeting, with a soapstone insert to the floor:
MHA News - 2006 Meeting - Backyard Oven with Peter Moore
Re: Soapstone
The soapstone idea seems to keep coming up over and over again. What is the benefit that I'm missing? Just the pleasant/smmoth appearance?
Re: Soapstone
You're right George, I looked into soapstone for the BenjaMia Bakehouse oven but went with firebrick due to cost.
I think the soapstone would have looked great, felt great and I think that I had heard that it had good heat retention properties....but alas too expensive!
Re: Soapstone
That makes sense. Thanks for your thoughts.
Re: Soapstone
From what I have understood the soapstone will heat up faster but will tend to overheat(if that makes sense)...read that it is better for pizza than for bread ovens
Re: Soapstone
Soapstone is very soft. We used to use it for the art students to carve. I would imagine that melted and burnt cheese and stuff would not stick to it easily it's slippery stuff, hence its name. If you sand it which is quite easy you get talc powder. Another name for the stuff is talc stone.
Re: Soapstone
I'm a sculptor and have worked a lot with Kenyan soapstone, it really is a lovely material to work with and carves very easily indeed. I imported a huge amount from Kenya a few years ago and I imagine it would be possible to get hold of bricks fairly easily - however I would not recommend using it for the oven floor as it would wear out very quickly....

For Immediate Release January 30, 2012Douglas-fir tussock moth defoliation increases in the Blue MountainsOLYMPIA – In the summer of 2011, forested areas with new defoliation caused by Douglas-fir tussock moths were detected in the Blue Mountains by the U.S. Forest Service, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). Through the agencies' aerial surveys, light defoliation was mapped across 9,000 acres of the Umatilla National Forest in Washington (7,800 acres) and Oregon (1,200 acres). Most of the defoliation occurred in the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness Area but may spread and increase in severity in 2012. The damage was typically light, with the top third of the crown most heavily defoliated. Another tussock moth outbreak that affected 1,600 acres in eastern Spokane County in 2011 will likely collapse in 2012. In northern Idaho, approximately 68,000 acres with tussock moth defoliation were recorded in 2011. In parts of northern Idaho, the outbreak may spread and increase in severity in 2012.The damage primarily affects grand fir, subalpine fir, Douglas-fir, and some spruce.
The last outbreak in the Blue Mountains occurred from 2000-2002. Outbreaks typically collapse within two to four years due to a buildup of natural enemies, such as a viral disease and parasites. To evaluate management options, DNR and ODF can assist forest and woodlot property owners in the affected areas who observe Douglas-fir tussock moth egg masses or tree damage. New defoliation damage becomes most noticeable in July and is often worst in the tops of trees. To report tussock moth damage or for more information, please contact your state's Forest Entomologist: Glenn Kohler (Washington DNR), 360-902-1342, email@example.com or Rob Flowers (ODF), 503-945-7396, firstname.lastname@example.com reduce potential tree damage in future outbreaks, susceptible stands can be thinned to favor non-host species and increase spacing between host trees that are retained. Because severely defoliated trees may recover, thinning and salvage is best done following the outbreak. This will also reduce worker's exposure to irritating caterpillar hairs. Early in the outbreak, the application of labeled insecticides on high-value stands can reduce tree damage and may prevent an outbreak's spread. Detailed information on how to recognize Douglas-fir tussock moth damage, maps and images are available at the DNR website: http://1.usa.gov/2z8nkGMedia ContactsWashington:Janet Pearce, Community Outreach and Education, 360-902-1122, firstname.lastname@example.com Glenn Kohler, Entomologist, Washington DNR, 360-902-1342, firstname.lastname@example.com:Rob Flowers, Entomologist, OR Department of Forestry, 503-945-7396, email@example.com Lia Spiegel, Entomologist, US Forest Service, 541-962-6574, firstname.lastname@example.com Paul Oester, Oregon State University Extension, 541-963-1061, email@example.com # # #

Angie's Answers
1. It's important that I find a good one
2. I'm not an expert enough to know myself who is a good one
3. The industry is full of advertisements and misinformation
4. I wish I knew what experiences other people have had
That's very difficult to answer without seeing the house. As one poster said, the prep is the most important part. On newer homes that don't have a lot of peeling paint, the prep can be very minimal even as low as a couple or a few hundred dollars for the prep labor.
On a 100 year old home with 12 coats of peeling paint on it, then the prep costs can be very high and can easily exceed 50% of the job's labor cost.
A 2100 sq ft two story home could easily cost $1000 just for the labor to prep for the paint job. That number could climb too. Throw in lots of caullking or window glazing, and you could be talking a couple or a few hundred dollars more for labor.
Painting that home with one coat of paint and a different color on the trim could run roughly $1000 or more just for labor. Add a second coat and that could cost close to another $1000 for labor.
For paint, you may need 20 gallons of paint. You can pay from $30-$70 for a gallon of good quality exterior paint. The manufacturer of the paint should be specified in any painting contract. Otherwise, the contractor could bid at a Sherwin-Williams $60 per gallon paint and then paint the house with $35 Valspar and pocket the difference. $25 dollars per gallon times 20 gallons? That's a pretty penny too.
That was the long answer to your question. The short answer is $2000 to $4000 and up, depending upon the amount of prep, the number of coats, the amount of trim, and the paint used.
You have to put your self in the shoes of a business that is in business to turn a profit of some sort. All businesses have different overhead which in turn decides what their bottom line would be on their services. I personally would not go with an unlicensed professional for this type of install. You are messing with gas, venting issues, electrical wiring{electric water heater} and updated code issues such as a drain pan and tempature and relief drain lines for heaters that currently do not have them. I do agree that there are some companies that are way out of line for their installs but most of these companies are the really big companies that have very high overheads I would assume. Tank type water heaters have changed over the last several years and with these safety changes come bigger prices. The price of steel thanks to China is skyrocketing and tank type water heaters are made of steel. Most wholesale plumbing supply companies cannot match what the big box stores are selling at retail to consumers. I happen to think from research that heaters such as Rheem, Bradford White and AOSmith who have been in business forever make a better product than what you can buy in the big box outlets. You also have to take in consideration the location of the water heater that is being replaced. Is it in the house, basement, garage or attic. Most 40 and 50 gallon water heaters that are purchased in a plumbing wholesale store in Texas cost between 300-340 for a 6 year warranty heater with 6 year on parts and tank. Speaking of warranty. Most big box companies will take a least 24 hours to a week to get your warranty problem taken care of. Most reputable plumbing companies will give same day service if they installed the heater.
So lets break down a typical install at cost to a licensed plumber in Texas
Heater: $315, water shut off $6.50, water flex lines or unions to code $20, gas flex line and cut off to code $12, misc fittings $15, Total $368.50 Lets add a 35% profit which is some what low for a business $129, Total 497.50
This doesnt include permits, pan and drain or any venting issues. The vent must go from the heater to the outside of roof using double wall vent.
Cost of permit on average $60
Most plumbing companies allow for 3 hours of time for a water heater. This includes picking the new one up. Delivering out to house. Draining and removing old water heater. Hauling off old heater. Installing new heater up to code. Going down to city and pulling permit.
Average Labor charges for heater installs $400
That would make this install run without extras on any code issues $957.50
I just had a 50 gallon gas water heater installed in my house for $1200 but I needed a pan installed. I used a licensed plumber.
An itemized list / cost breakdown, more often than not is used against the contractor when it is shared with other builders who will then beat it.
Good contractors use good people, and good people cost more. Just the cost of having the appropriate insurance / bond can be the difference between winning a job or losing it ot a 'lower bid'.
It is the rule of three; there is Good, Cheap and Fast. You can have any two: Good and Cheap, won't be Fast; Good and Fast, won't be Cheap; Cheap and Fast, won't be Good!
When comparing bids, it isn't the cheapest or the 'nicest' person you should select. You should understand why there is a large price difference (it shows there are gaps in your design program or what you have asked for specifically, which means there may be arguments later). If most of the bids are in line, and one is way high or way low, you want to know why before dismissing or selecting them.
A price-only decision almost always costs more in the long run.
Good luck!
Dumpster Service reviews in Tampa
They were responsive on the phone and we would use them again.
The driver was very cooperative when he arrived as there were some challenges getting the dumpster in the driveway due to overhead wires. He tried several attempts until he was able to get the dumpster located where we needed it.
It was great having the dumpster for a month and their prices were very reasonable compared to other companies who only allow rental for short periods of time.
Also, the flat price for up to three tons of debris was also great.
I would recommend them.

MUD may be the least of your worries at festivals across Europe this summer: food poisoning may lie in wait.
The outbreak of a rare strain of E. coli in Germany in May seems to have subsided, with no new cases since 11 July, after 3918 people fell ill and 42 died. The outbreak was traced to Egyptian fenugreek seeds used to grow sprouts, a frequent source of food-borne bacteria. The European Union has banned the seeds.
The trouble is that the bacterium has been knocking around Germany for a decade, and may still lurk in people who are symptom-free. Earlier this month German health authorities tested stool samples from a school in Paderborn, where there were four known infections. They found 18 of the 30 children tested carried the strain, but had no symptoms. Worse, three kitchen workers at the school and three at a catering company supplying it were also carriers. The survey continues.
This "substantial proportion of subclinical infections is the main reason for concern at this stage", says the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in Stockholm, Sweden. "Considering the large number of summer festivals in the EU, with sometimes inadequate food hygiene standards", people should remember "the need for proper hand washing".

Dallas Public Library has added these two databases of interest to family history researchers to the Databases collection on its web site.
GenealogyBank, a resource from NewsBank, Inc. is a database comprised of the following collections:
- Historical Newspapers (1690 – 1999) is a newspaper archive that features over 1000 titles covering 320 years of fully-searchable historical newspapers printed in small towns and big cities throughout the U.S. Find old newspaper articles, obituaries, birth, and marriage records, sports articles and stats, photographs, advertisements, and more.
- Historical Books (1749 – 1900) provides the complete text of more than 11,700 books, pamphlets and printed items including: genealogies, biographies, funeral sermons, local histories, cards, charts and more.
- Historical Documents (1789 – 1994) includes military records, casualty lists, Revolutionary and Civil War pension requests, widow's claims, orphan petitions, land grants, and other interesting historical documentation. Two of the prominent titles in this collection are the "American State Papers" and the "US Congressional Serial Set".
- America's Obituaries (1977 – Current) often provides ancestor names, dates, birthplaces, marriage info, death records, and other relevant family history information.
- Social Security Death Index (1937 – Current) contains more than 92 million death records for individuals with US Social Security numbers.
If you live within the city of Dallas and have a DPL library card, you can connect to GenealogyBank from home via their web site: http://dallaslibrary2.org. Click on the Databases tab on the home page, then scroll down to "NewsBank Online Service", then choose "America's GenealogyBank" from the list. If you don't have a library card, you can still access these databases via the public computers available at all Dallas Public Library locations: http://dallaslibrary2.org/hours.php.
The Dallas Public Library has also expanded its geographic coverage of the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps. For some time, the digitized maps that provide detailed property and land-use records maps have been available for Texas cities and towns. Now you can access maps for more than 12,000 U.S. towns and cities. The maps cover the time period from the mid-1860s to 1970 and depict the commercial, industrial, and residential sections of these towns and cities. From the Library of Congress web site – "the maps were designed to assist fire insurance agents in determining the degree of hazard associated with a particular property and therefore show the size, shape, and construction of dwellings, commercial buildings, and factories as well as fire walls, locations of windows and doors, sprinkler systems, and types of roofs. The maps also indicate widths and names of streets, property boundaries, building use, and house and block numbers".
Like GenealogyBank, the Sanborn Maps can be accessed in two ways – from home, if you live within the Dallas city limits and have a DPL Library card, or from the public computers at any DPL physical location. From the Databases tab on the Library's home page, scroll down to "Texas Digital Sanborn Maps". The title of the database link has not yet been updated to reflect the new geographic coverage.

Nov. 3, 2013
BEAUMONT, Texas -
Junior quarterback Caleb Berry has been named College Sports Madness Southland Conference Player of the Week for his performance against Nicholls State Saturday evening. Lamar knocked off Nicholls State to end a three-game skid and improve to 4-5 on the season, and 1-3 in Southland play.
Berry racked up 360 yards of total offense for the Cardinals. He finished the night completing 28-of-37 (.757) passes for 329 yards and five touchdowns. He also carried the ball 10 times for 31 yards.
In a night of record-setting performances, Berry notched the first for Lamar. His second touchdown pass gave him 22 for the season setting a new LU single-season mark. The previous record was set by Larry Haynes during the 1979 season. The Cardinals finished the night with 421 yards of total offense and 56 points. The 56-point outburst was the most points scored by a Cardinal team against any conference opponent in school history.
Berry's five-touchdown performance against the Colonels is the third-best single-game performance in school history. His five TD passes are the most since he started the season by setting the record with six against Oklahoma Panhandle State. It was the fourth time this season that Berry has recorded at least four touchdown passes in a game. He has thrown for at least 300 yards twice in the past three weeks, and three times this season. Berry just missed a 300-yard performance against Southeastern Louisiana by one yard.
Lamar enters the game against Northwestern State needing only one more win to tie the record for wins in a season since bringing back the football program. The Cardinals won five games in 2010. Saturday's game in Natchitoches will be Lamar's final road game of the 2013 season.

Ohev Sholom-The National Synagogue in Washington, has become the first U.S. synagogue to earn Energy Star certification from the Environmental Protection Agency.
The certification, bestowed Monday, means the capital's oldest Orthodox congregation has met strict environmental standards, including energy conservation, recycling and alternative power sources.
Seventeen houses of worship—all churches, according to the Washington Jewish Week—have earned the certification since its establishment in 2009.
The modifications made by Ohev Sholom are calculated to save the congregation tens of thousands of dollars in bills, the Washington weekly reported.
Ohev Sholom was built in 1958 and has 300 family members.

Carbide Bit Protector
Carbide is a hard material, but it's also brittle. Protect your carbide-tipped bits with this tip.
Carbide is a hard, long-lasting material, but it's also brittle. The carbide tips on a router bit or saw blade can be damaged easily if mishandled. To protect them, I keep an old computer mouse pad upside down on my bench. The spongy surface keeps the cutting surfaces safe and retards rollaway router bits.
