Enjoy the tranquil beauty of Greenock on the west coast of Scotland in the UK when you book a relaxing cruise to Northern Europe with MSC Cruises
Scotland's west coast and the pretty port of Greenock make a dream setting for your next luxury cruise through Northern Europe with MSC Cruises.
Among the many lovely holiday destinations the UK has to offer, Greenock – situated at the point where the River Clyde meets the Firth of Clyde in the west central Scottish Lowlands - is the perfect spot for a revitalising vacation surrounded by gloriously green landscape and mountains rising majestically in the background.
The best place to get an all-round look at the whole area from a bird's eye perspective is the Craig Top vantage point at the top of Lyle Hill – also ideal for taking some wonderful holiday snaps of your Scottish experience.
Another must-see on your visit to Greenock is "The Cut", an old aqueduct flanked by a scenic path up to the Loch Thorn reservoir, which was built in the early 19th century to supply Greenock with water.
The haunting natural beauty of the landscape is well matched by the attractions offered by the town and the friendly locals. The gorgeous Esplanade, the town's elegantly sweeping mile-long waterfront promenade, is one such place. As you look out over the water, you might even spot some baby seals playing in the water.
Greenock is also home to the family-friendly Battery Park and a waterfront leisure centre with a swimming pool and an ice rink. Whatever you choose to do while on or off the ship during your Northern Europe cruise to the UK, you can rest assured MSC Cruises is dedicated to giving you the best holiday experience ever. Also check out our Shore Excursions section for more ideas on what do to on shore.

Eau Sauvage Parfum by Christian Dior
I always prefer to buy EDP over EDT. When I tried Eau Sauvage EDT, I got excited to try the parfum thinking that it's just like the EDT but with better concentration and longevity. Unfortunately, this smelled very much like root beer on my skin. Enough said!

Jake Owen premiered his steamy new video for "Alone With You" on his Facebook page yesterday. "Alone with You" is the second single from Jake's third studio album Barefoot Blue Jean Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. This week, "Alone with You" broke into the Top 30 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart as well as Country Aircheck.
"I think a lot of people can relate to the lyrical content of 'Alone with You,'" says Jake. "The line in the song 'But you kiss me when you're drunk' is so real and the music video is true to the storyline of the song. Basically, it's about not finding love…but comfort in someone's arms who really isn't the one for you and sometimes no one else knows about it but the two of you. The video also features a supporting role by my bulldog Merle. He should win an award."
Watch Now:
Yesterday, Jake celebrated his No. 1 single "Barefoot Blue Jean Night," which is one of only six songs released in 2011 to reach Platinum status. "This song changed my life," reflects Jake. "I'm so grateful to the songwriters, Eric Paslay, Terry Sawchuk and Dylan Altman, who have become really good friends of mine. Feeling the support of this amazingly talented community is hard to describe. It's just awesome to be part of it. This has been the best year of my life."

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — Staff Sgt. Justin Tite, 88th Test and Evaluation Squadron aerial gunner, received the Air Force Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor here July 9.
Maj. Gen. Bill Hyatt, U.S. Air Force Warfare Center commander, presented the decoration to Tite during a ceremony with friends, family and members of the Nellis rescue community present.
On April 23, 2011, Tite was an aerial gunner aboard the lead HH-60 helicopter in a two-aircraft flight, call sign Pedro 83.
His flight was tasked to rescue two downed Army aircraft crewmembers in enemy territory about 25 miles east of Bagram, Afghanistan. Tite's crew reached the crash site as dawn was breaking and conducted the first pararescue team's insertion.
Just after inserting a second pararescue team, the flight's second helicopter, Pedro 84, was engaged by enemy fire that injured a crewmember and damaged the aircraft. Pedro 84 was forced to return to base.
Tite covered their egress and supported ground teams with close air support as they became pinned down by intensifying enemy fire. On one pass, Tite spotted enemy units attacking his teams. He returned fire, suppressing them and killing at least one insurgent. He continued as Pedro 84 returned to the fight and recovery attempts resumed.
Upon Pedro 84's return, its crew attempted to hoist out one of the downed crewmembers again. However, the helicopter immediately drew heavy fire, forcing them to shear their rescue harness to clear the hail of rounds coming at them. Simultaneously, Pedro 83 took fire, taking enough damage to also force them to return to base for a spare aircraft.
During this round trip, Army ground troops in the area joined the engagement. Moments after powering up the spare, Pedro 83 received the call that one of the ground troops had been severely injured and also needed medivac.
Pedro 83 returned to battle and began a hover extraction of the original downed crewmember and the additional casualty. In close range of enemy ground fire, Tite's aircraft was severely damaged again, but Tite continued to battle despite multiple aircraft emergencies.
Tite engaged an entrenched enemy, who came as close as 100 meters, through four additional exchanges of intense fire as the recovery continued.
Ultimately, Tite's actions during the six-hour-long sortie resulted in the life-saving rescue of two Soldiers and the recovery of another from the field of battle.
"In all honesty, I'm just humbled to get this,†Tite said. "Just to be put into that category is honestly just amazing, to say the least. I don't take this award necessarily [because] of just what I've done. I think it's more or less for the [rescue] community itself. There are people out there right now doing the same exact missions day in and day out – doing the 24 hour operations in Afghanistan. So, I think this award goes out to everyone in our community.â€
The Distinguished Flying Cross was established in the Air Corps Act by Congress July 2, 1926. According to the law's text, the award is for any person, while serving in any capacity with the Air Corps of the Army of the United States, including the National Guard and the Organized Reserves, or with the United States Navy, since the 6th day of April 1917, has distinguished, or who, after the approval of this Act, distinguishes himself by heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight.
Tite said he has been thinking of and talking to one of his crewmembers who was injured on the flight.
"Having one of your own get injured on a mission like that – it really hits home,†Tite said. "It was something we had to adjust to – fight on the fly. We'd never had an individual, on one of my own missions at least, get hurt during the actual extraction of another individual. Once it actually hits home, it's just a little bit different.â€
Technical Sgt. Jim Davis was the flight engineer on the Pedro 84 flight who was shot during the mission. Tite said Davis was hit in the leg just after the rescue team was deployed and Davis had brought the hoist up.
"He's a mentor to a lot of us. I don't believe he's able to fly any more, but he's in good spirits, and I know he's very grateful — he loves the mission that we do. I know — it sucks the way that it went down, but he's still a great part of our culture and our heritage of the mission that we do. He's a good guy and he'll always be a part of our community, one way or another.â€
Tite said the rescue community will always be around to help others even if it means risking themselves.
"[To the] people who don't understand that there are people who go out there and do this, I would just like to say that I think that the combat search and rescue community is a great career field to join,†Tite said. "I couldn't be happier in another field than I am with the rescue community.â€
"The motto for the rescue community is 'that others may live', and I think that every individual in the rescue community truly lives by that motto,†he said.

Initially in the ACT, the scheme will cover about 5500 people with disability. Photo: Gabriele Charotte
Tuesday was a potentially life-changing day for many Canberrans. It was the day the national disability insurance scheme (NDIS) started in the ACT.
It's the first time all eligible people in one location will be able to transition onto the scheme. This is a major milestone for the scheme and for the community of Canberra.
The scheme is an exciting new way of providing support to people with disability, who will receive individualised plans based on their goals and aspirations.
The NDIS puts the individual in control of their reasonable and necessary supports and means they can be more involved in their community and in everyday life in general. It will help boost self-esteem and independence and foster a more inclusive society.
People with disability and their families can also be supported to access education and employment, which will add more than 1 per cent to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and keep our country economically healthy in the future.
In my former role as senior director in the ACT government's Community Services Directorate, I worked alongside many people helping to ready the ACT community for the transition to the NDIS. Before that, I worked in the community sector, with Life Without Barriers and before that, I was head of Mission Australia, in South Australia.
So for me, it is an enormous privilege to be able to recruit a talented group of staff with great expertise and experience who will be the daily face of the National Disability Insurance Agency. Our staff take their role seriously. They know this can be a life-changing experience for the Canberra community. I'm looking forward to helping ACT residents manage and take control of their care and support requirements so they can lead more fulfilling and prosperous life. My team and I are excited to be implementing ground-breaking social reform, and the significance of this reform hasn't gone unnoticed among us.
Initially in the ACT, the scheme will cover about 5500 people with disability and we are working closely with the Australian and ACT governments to ensure the transition runs smoothly.
We have a two-year transition arrangement to ensure individuals are well supported as they come into the scheme and they receive the right support services to meet their needs.
People in group home accommodation will be phased in based on the age of the youngest person living in the home on July 1, 2014, and increasing order of age.
We've also put in place a group home co-ordinator to manage the transition process for each person in each group home. This person will oversee the transition and personally answer questions individuals and their families may have. I appreciate there has been some anxiety and uncertainty around the rollout, as there is with anything new. We will contact everyone before they are transitioned to help alleviate any queries, concerns or misconceptions.
If anyone believes they may be eligible and they have not been contacted by us, we urge them to call us on 1800 800 110.
It's an exciting time and my staff and I are looking forward to helping improve supports and care right across the ACT. Residents can also be reassured there is now a sustainable support system in place if anyone happens to acquire a permanent disability.
Also on July 1, the NDIS opened trial sites in Barkly (Northern Territory) and Perth Hills (Western Australia). These sites joined four existing sites in the Hunter (NSW), Barwon (Victoria), South Australia (for children under six years of age), and Tasmania (for young people aged 15 to 24 years).
People interested in joining the NDIS can use the My Access Checker – a tool designed to help people with permanent and significant disability understand whether they are able to access the NDIS during the trial period.
My Access Checker is completely anonymous and even if you do not live in an NDIS trial site, you can still complete it to see if you will meet access requirements in the future. Completing it should take 10 to 20 minutes. It's available at www.ndis.gov.au.
I look forward to helping provide support for people with disability, their families and carers in the ACT. Together we can make this work.
Jillian Paull is ACT trial site manager, National Disability Insurance Agency.

Nick DiPaolo's New Podcast 'Goes Against the Status Quo'
The "comic's comic" is back "on the air" with a new, uncensored podcast, and a forthcoming DVD of fresh, funny material.
November 19, 2013 - 12:00 pm
Around this time back in 2011, I told PJ Media readers that stand up comic Nick DiPaolo and his longtime friend and colleague Artie Lange had signed a juicy three-year deal to host a sports talk show on satellite radio.
As a fan, I was thrilled for DiPaolo.
He's been stealing every Comedy Central Roast since they began, and was the undisputed (co)star of the late-lamented Tough Crowd.
That's why I can't figure out why (in the words of his fellow comedian Joe Rogan) he's still not selling out arenas.
So obviously I was shocked (and ticked off) when his radio show returned to the air after the Christmas 2012 break — without him.
Why? No one's talking, even now, probably for legal reasons.
(It took me far too long to learn that you almost never find out the real reason you — or anybody else — gets either fired or dumped.)
The good news is, DiPaolo promptly went back out on the road, which — don't kid yourself — isn't as fun as it sounds, especially when you're, well, not a kid anymore.
(There's a reason that's the premise of Adam Carolla's next movie…)
DiPaolo has also put together a new hour, just recorded his new performance DVD — and he's launched a new weekly podcast.

After doing podcasts with Genie Scott, PZ Myers, and Richard Dawkins regarding the movie, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed," Skepticality decided to bring back Randy Olson (they did a first podcast with him last October) to let him have the last word on the debut of "Expelled." In his discussion he goes through six ways in which he feels the evolution crowd played into the hands of the producers of "Expelled," and unintentionally helped them promote the movie.
You can hear it here.
For being interviewed in the movie, Skeptic Magazine editor Michael Shermer wins a souvenir "Expelled" promotional kit!

Why CTF4 is bad
I will also agree with muckyman, i will also take the boos and hisses, i prefer it the way it is now, but thats not to say that i dont like what your doing namad! Its good to see people with innovation out there. Keep it up man! I really like the chat box you did though, kind of looks like facebook chat, i think they need to implement this, and add a chatbeep also.
Yours is better than ID's. My opinion is the only one that matters ofc
All bout dat smooth and having a clear pattern that's symmetrical
ID's is a clusterphuck
You could make the friendslist and advertisement box have that cut edge on the bottom left though.
He he he I can't take it serious, but it's cool anyway because you keep it upOriginally Posted by jigglywiggly
+1 for advert box, frieldslist doesn't have that cut edge just to avoid small gap at the bottom. I know, it's only a photoshop picture, mockup, but I always keep in mind that this needs to be implemented somehow so I avoid complicated stuff just in case.Originally Posted by jigglywiggly

Since we scorn corporate ads, we'll do our own advertising here. Today's ad:
So giddy up and head on over to Cutter Bill's. And tell 'em D and B sentcha!
Why this post?
One would be hard-pressed to summarize the frustration of this blogger at having to see ads for The Dow Chemical Company (his one-time employer) at his blog. I am not inclined to encourage anyone to click anywhere "to learn more about how The Dow Chemical Company is solving human problems." If one had to click somewhere, if one was simply forced to do some kind of clicking, they would do better to read over the differences between corporate and citizen accounts of the Bhopal methyl-isocyanate leak in 1984, by reading over Bhopal.con. (Dow purchased Union Carbide a few years ago, and so, yes, although the cause of the leak had nothing to do with Dow, the response and corporate attention on and to the Bhopal disaster are now within their fold — and quite willingly so.)

The hospital plans to increase emergency response services and the prevention and education of child abuse.
Donna Rabin is on the Bay Area Hospital's district board, and says that they strive to make children's lives better in our area. "The biggest concern is, number one, to keep children safe," said Rabin. "Number two, to make sure they receive the care they need, and that includes both medical care and emotional care."
In the past year, more than 200 kids were served at the intervention center.
The change begins on July 1.

Paul Boag: Educating clients to say YES
The flip side to NO, is of course, YES. This is a great keynote on how to educate our clients to say YES and understand the what, why and how we do things in our industry. It is a nod to the power of positivity that can only help to improve the client/vendor relationship and make our work even better.


text: Remote starts using "tach sense" look for a voltage level to be reached on the tachometer wire. The wire uses AC current, not DC. When that range of voltage is reached, it ceases to crank. This also allows you to press your remote start button when the car is already started and then remove the key and leave the car running when you want to run in somewhere. I worked at the local stereo shop for almost 2 years and installed several alarms/remote starts.

*The respiratory system consists of tubes that filter incoming air and transport it into the microscopic alveoli where gases are exchanged the entire process of exchanging gases between the atmosphere and body cells is called respiration and consists of the following: ventilation, gas exchange between blood and lungs, gas transport in the bloodstream, gas exchange between the blood and body cells, and cellular respiration *The organs of the respiratory tract can be divided into two groups: the upper respiratory tract (nose, nasal cavity, sinuses, and pharynx), and the lower respiratory tract (larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, and lungs).
*The pharynx is a common passageway for air and food.
The pharynx aids in producing sounds for speech.
*The larynx is an enlargement in the airway superior to the trachea and inferior to the pharynx.
It helps keep particles from entering the trachea and also houses the vocal cords.
The larynx is composed of a framework of muscles and cartilage bound by elastic tissue.
Inside the larynx, two pairs of folds of muscle and connective tissue covered with mucous membrane
The upper pair is the false vocal cords. The lower pair is the true vocal cords
During swallowing, the false 6 cords and epiglottis close off the glottis
* The trachea extends downward anterior to the esophagus and into the thoracic cavity, where it splits into right and left bronchi.
The inner wall of the trachea is lined with ciliated mucous membrane with many goblet cells that serve to trap incoming particles.
*The bronchial tree consists of branched tubes leading from the trachea to the alveoli.
The bronchial tree begins with the two primary bronchi, each leading to a lung.
The branches (Figs. 16.8-16.9) of the bronchial tree from the trachea are right and left primary bronchi; these further subdivide until bronchioles give rise to alveolar ducts which terminate in

MSG—or monosodium glutamate—is a flavor enhancer used in savory foods, especially Asian foods. It contains sodium, but only a third of the amount that you'd get from the same amount of salt.
MSG also includes glutamic acid (aka glutamate), an amino acid that's found naturally in foods like tomatoes, mushrooms and soybeans and is the source of our fifth taste—umami.
In fact, we eat about 13 grams of natural glutamate a day on average, compared to only around half a gram from MSG.
Some people say they have an MSG allergy—or that MSG gives them headaches, worsens their asthma, causes chest pain or palpitations, or causes mild mood changes or other symptoms, all of which are collectively referred to as Chinese Restaurant Syndrome (because MSG is commonly found in Asian-style meals).
Contrary to popular belief, decades of research...read full post »
There are all sorts of rumors about canola oil—so let's sort fact from fiction.
First, you may have heard that canola oil contains high levels of the toxic compound erucic acid. Not true. "The rapeseed plant that canola oil was originally derived from does contain high levels of erucic acid, but it's been bred out of the canola plant we get our oil from today, so levels are very low and not harmful—the FDA regulates how much is allowed (no more than 2 percent)," says Libby Mills, R.D.N., a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. In the late 1960s, traditional plant breeding methods—not biotechnology—were used to rid rapeseed of its undesirable qualities and canola was born. Today most of our canola oil is genetically modified, which adds a certain creep factor for some people. Truth is, there's no hard evidence that genetically...read full post »
Though the low-fat craze has come and gone, many of the beliefs we have about fat are tough to let go of.
Recent research raises new questions about fat and its role in health, particularly when it comes to saturated fat. It's hard to know what to believe.
It's true that fat—at 9 calories per gram—has more calories per gram than proteins or carbs (which each have just 4 calories per gram). And trans fats, mostly found in hydrogenated oils, are still considered harmful to our health.
Foods can certainly be healthy without a low-fat label, and it's OK to embrace that fact. Fat adds flavor to foods and helps keep you full, because it takes a long time to digest. Many fats are good for you, like the heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in nuts, seeds, olives and avocados. Plus, sometimes the good kind of fat that...read full post »

2014 Distinguished Scientist – Charles T. Esmon, PhD, FAHA
Dr. Esmon is a member of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation where he holds the Lloyd Noble Chair in Cardiovascular Research and is head of the Coagulation Biology Laboratory. He also holds adjunct faculty positions at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. He was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator from 1988 until 2013, when he retired from the Institute. He has been a member of the National Academy of Sciences since 2002.
Dr. Esmon's research involves the protein C anticoagulant pathway and the impact of its perturbations on the acute inflammatory response such as occurs in severe sepsis. With Dr. Fletcher Taylor, he was the first to show that activated protein C could prevent and treat a normally lethal septic response in animals. He and Dr. Whyte Owen were the first to identify thrombomodulin and subsequent work from their laboratories led to the isolation and characterization of thrombomodulin. With Dr. Kenji Fukudome, Dr. Esmon identified, cloned and characterized the endothelial cell protein C receptor that serves as a cofactor for thrombomodulin mediated protein C activation. His laboratory has since identified histones as major mediators of sepsis, and activated protein C as a critical regulator of the septic response.
In 2013 Dr. Esmon received the Robert J. and Claire Pasarow Foundation Award in Cardiovascular Research and the ISTH Robert P Grant Medal. Past honors include the E Donnal Thomas Lectureship & Prize (ASH), Established Investigator Award (AHA), MERIT Award (NHLBI), Distinguished Career Award for Contributions to Hemostasis (ISTH), and Edwin Cohn Lecturer, Harvard. He has served on numerous NHLBI advisory councils and is the inventor of several patents which have been licensed and are in development by U.S. companies for diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases and blood clots. He is an author of over 400 scientific publications.

- Concrete foundation wall
- 31/2" closed-cell spray foam
- Spray-on thermal barrier
- Dampproofing
- 2" XPS rigid sub-slab insulation
As shown above, the spray foam can be applied directly to the concrete, but as previously mentioned (and specified in the design details), if the foam is left exposed it will require a thermal barrier, typically a spray-on thermal barrier. The other option is to build a stud wall in front of the spray foam and use gypsum wall board as the thermal barrier.
Thermal Control
Closed-cell spray foam provides very good continuous thermal control. Spray foam is an air barrier, so convective looping and air leakage thermal losses do not occur. This wall system has an R-value of R-21 and a predicted annual heating energy loss of 16.4 MBtus. More thermal control could easily be added by spraying more foam against the wall.
Moisture Control
Because closed-cell spray foam is an air and vapor barrier, there are no risks to air leakage or vapor diffusion condensation. The concrete is unable to dry to the interior through closed cell spray foam, but concrete is generally not affected by a high moisture content. Figure 2 shows the relative humidity in the middle of the foam does not exceed 80%, which means there are no moisture related risks from vapor diffusion.
Figure 2: Predicted RH in the interior surface of the foundation wall of closed-cell spray foam
Constructability and Cost
In this proposed wall system, it is possible to embed the framing members in the foam (similar to High-R Foundation 10) to increase the interior space. The framing should not be in contact with the foundation wall to limit thermal bridging, and potential moisture related issues with the framing members. Closed-cell spray foam can be more expensive than other options, but reduces labour time over some of the other walls, and is applied by a skilled labourer so the system is very durable as a long term solution.
Spray on thermal barriers can add significant cost to the spray foam installation, but are region specific.
Closed-cell spray foam installed on the interior of the concrete foundation wall is the easiest and safest way to retrofit an existing basement. Spray foam can be installed in combination with a drainage matt and interior drainage tile in basements that have liquid water ingress issues.
Other Considerations
Spray foams have been improved considerably for human health and the environment. Ozone depleting substances in the process have been removed, but some spray foams use greenhouse gases that are much worse than carbon dioxide. There are options available of more environmentally friendly spray foams that do not release green house gases, such as water blown foams, on the market and should be considered.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59.4 seconds left to break a tie and Jaroslav Halak made 21 saves to lead the Blues to a win over the Jets.
The Blues, who won their second in a row, have recorded points in five successive games. Winnipeg has lost five of six. The Jets finish a four-game road trip with a 1-2-1 mark.
BOX SCORE: Blues 3, Jets 2
The Jets beat St. Louis 4-3 in a seven-round shootout on Oct. 18 in Winnipeg. Halak improved to 7-1-1. He is 5-2 lifetime in seven starts against Winnipeg.
Brenden Morrow and Alex Pietrangelo also scored for the Blues, who improved to 5-1-1 at home. Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler tallied for the Jets.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Ducks past the Flyers.
Andrew Cogliano also scored for the Ducks and Jonas Hiller had 26 saves.
Matt Read and Vinny Lecavalier scored for the Flyers.
BOX SCORE: Ducks 3, Flyers 2
Palmieri scored on a tip-in with 4:09 left in the game to help the Ducks win their third straight game. He also scored the tying goal early in the third.
The Ducks lost veteran forward Teemu Selanne in the third period after he took Luke Schenn's high stick to the face. Selanne went down on the corner ice, then skated off on his own power straight to the locker room.
Hiller and the Ducks killed one final Philadelphia power play that extended into the final minute to hang on for the win.
MONTREAL (AP) — Rene Bourque scored in the second period and Carey Price made 26 saves and the Canadiens downed the Stars.
Michael Bournival also scored for Montreal (8-5-0), which has won three of its past four games.
BOX SCORE: Canadiens 2, Stars 1
Cody Eakin scored for Dallas (5-6-1), which remained last in the Central Division.
Dallas outshot the Canadiens 27-24.
Both teams had played the night before, with Montreal winning 2-0 in New York and the Stars taking a 4-3 decision in coach Lindy Ruff's return to Buffalo.
The Canadiens struck first as Raphael Diaz lofted a wrist shot from the point to the far post that Bournival tipped off defenseman Stephane Robidas and past Kari Lehtonen at 12:02 of the first.
Bournival has three goals and four assists in his past seven games.
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Mike Smith stopped 41 shots, Kyle Chipchura had a goal and an assist, and Phoenix rebounded from a messy loss to Los Angeles by beating the Kings.
Smith had a miserable game in California last Thursday, when he was pulled after allowing four goals on 15 shots in the first period of the Kings' 7-4 win.
BOX SCORE: Coyotes 3, Kings 1
The Coyotes were sharp early defensively in the rematch and Smith was superb throughout, making numerous tough saves before Jarret Stoll beat him on a power play late in the third period.
Phoenix's Derek Morris and Shane Doan each scored in the final 2 minutes of the second to break open a tight game. Chipchura scored in the third and Andy Miele had two assists for his first NHL points to help Phoenix improve to 5-0-1 at home.
Los Angeles goalie Ben Scrivens stopped 30 shots.
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Phil Kessel had two goals and two assists, leading Toronto past Edmonton for its second consecutive victory.
BOX SCORE: Maple Leafs 4, Oilers 0
James Reimer stopped 43 shots for his 11th career shutout. James van Riemsdyk and Nazem Kadri also scored for the Maple Leafs (9-4-0), who have won three of four to take over sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Division.
Richard Bachman made 22 saves for the Oilers (3-9-2), who have lost four straight. Edmonton outshot Toronto 43-26.

I've never been a fan of fast zombies. There's just something wrong with the idea of a corpse who can keep pace with a Vespa. Luckily, Frank Darabont subscribes to that school of thought and will present "The Walking Dead" stiffs exactly the way they are billed — walking. In an interview with AMC, Darabont cited Night of the Living Dead's zombie zero as the mold.
"For our zombie show I'm calling that the Book of Genesis, and whenever there's a question about zombie behavior, I go back to 'Night of the Living Dead.' Here's my favorite thing: the endless debate among the fans about how fast a zombie can move. There are the folks who just can't stand seeing zombies running. I'm kind of in that camp, but if you look at the very first zombie in 'Night' – the one in the cemetery chasing Barbara, he gets up to a pretty good jog. I'm keying our zombie behavior off of that film: Whether they're in a very languid state or they're on the attack, they'll move n faster than that first zombie in 'Night of the Living Dead.'"
Okay. I can live with zombies getting up to a light jog, but nothing more than that. Something around a 3 or a 4 on the "Rushing to the Bathroom Scale," is permissable. But by no means should they get up to a cotton-touching number like 7 or 8. (via Dread Central)

Prep football: Former Immokalee coach gets new job in Palm Bay
Former Immokalee football coach Jerrod Ackley has a new job, but if all goes according to plan this season, he could be returning to Southwest Florida in November.
Ackley recently accepted the head coaching position at Bayside High School in Palm Bay, a move he said becomes official Monday. His new school is in the same Class 6A region as several Naples schools. If Bayside makes the playoffs, it would face a team from Southwest Florida's district in the first round.
Accepting the Bayside job lets Ackley get back on the field after a trying season personally and professionally at Immokalee. The Indians finished Class 5A runner-up last year, but the coach had several clashes with players and fans that made him feel unwelcomed and, at times, unsafe.
Ackley said this spring that he wanted to take some time off from coaching to work on pursuing his master's degree. After helping with Marco Island Charter's football team in May, Ackley said he knew he couldn't step away from the field.
"I'm a football coach at heart," Ackley said. "I saw the job opening and I thought I'd take a shot. In ways I wonder if I should have taken a season off, but now I'm excited. It's a new perspective, a new mission, and a good opportunity to get going."
Immokalee went 27-12 in three years under Ackley, including two straight 11-win seasons, and won a district championship each season. It was just the second time the Indians have played for a state championship. They won the 2A title in 2004.
The Bayside position opened suddenly when Bears coach and athletic director Derek Smith resigned from both positions in late June. Ackley interviewed July 1 and was offered the job three days later.
Bayside, near Melbourne on the East Coast, went 4-6 each of the past two seasons but played for regional championships in 2009 and 2010.
Ackley said his wife, also a teacher, and two young sons will move with him to Palm Bay by the start of the school year in August. The family has been living in Marco Island since Ackley left Immokalee.
"I really liked my interview with the principal (Christine Moore) and her vision for the program," Ackley said of his new gig. "We're on the same page philosophically. It feels like there is a strong administrative support team. They really want to build a program for the long-term."

Take Control of Off-Camera Flash
Studio Portrait Lighting featuring the new PocketWizard Plus® III
Date: March 20, 2012
Time: 1pm Eastern, 12pm Central, 11am Mountain, 10am Pacific
Join host Joe Brady for this seminar on controlling studio portrait lighting with the new PocketWizard Plus III radio. Learn the benefits of shooting with your flashes on full manual power. During our live shoot, we'll use both speedlights and studio monolights.

We all know that photography is about light. The new PocketWizard Plus III radio triggers we're going to put to use will allow us to direct light where we need it and make it easy to control, right from the top of the camera.
We're going to take full control of our lights for studio shoots. That means full manual control – no TTL flash. No more guessing, no constant exposure adjustments, no hours at the computer fixing your images. If you are after consistent, professional results in controlled settings, learn how manual control is the way to go!

AMA Adopts Facsimile of Romney-Ryan Medicare Plan As Its Official Policy
November 13, 2012
Avik Roy
Last month, a key policy committee of the American Medical Association recommended that the AMA formally support a plan for Medicare reform that tracks closely with the one proposed by Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and Ron Wyden. Today, the AMA House of Delegates voted to officially adopt their committees recommendation, giving a boost to reformers in Washington and around the country.
The House of Delegates "recommended for adoption as amended or substituted" the recommendation from the AMAs Council on Medical Service to support a "defined benefit" reform of Medicare—similar to the various Paul Ryan proposals—in which beneficiaries could "purchase coverage of their choice from among competing health insurance plans." The AMA recommended offering "a wide range of plans (e.g., HMOs, PPOs, high-deductible plans paired with health savings accounts) as well as traditional Medicare."
The Romney-Ryan-Wyden plan for Medicare reform may have a tough time getting through the Democratic Senate and White House. But as Ive noted, the victory of Obamacare at the ballot box provides for an alternative route to premium support-based reform: gradually raising the Medicare retirement age, such that over time, more and more retirees get their coverage from Obamacares exchanges.
The AMA has done a lot of damage to its credibility over the years by behaving like every other special-interest group in Washington, putting its own interests above those of the broader public. But in this case, theyve done a good thing, and they deserve some credit for it.

This past Tuesday, Australian billionaire Clive Palmer introduced the media to a blueprint for a new cruise ship set to be a full-scale recreation of the Titanic. Clive Palmer's replica of the Titanic, dubbed Titanic II, is expected to be completed as early as the year 2016.
Thus, said year will most likely witness the cruise ship's maiden voyage, and Clive Palmer is quite confident that Titanic II will not lack passengers.
In fact, Clive Palmer maintains that his decision to build a replica of the Titanic and have it sail across the Atlantic stems from his learning about the fact that many people are eager to experience first-hand what the cruise ship now resting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean was all about.
The Titanic II's first journey will take it from Shanghai to Southampton, England, and later on to New York.
Interestingly enough, the Titanic II is meant to only function as a cruise ship, whereas its predecessor also carried mail and cargo, and doubled as a means of transportation.
According to USA Today, Titanic II will measure 883 feet ( 269.138 meters) in length, meaning that it will be roughly 3 inches (0.076 meters) longer that its predecessor.
The ship's design will allow it to accommodate a total of 2,435 passengers and 900 crew members, the former being granted access to a gymnasium, Turkish baths, a squash court, a swimming pool, a casino and even a theater.
For the time being, Clive Palmer is refusing to release information concerning how much building the Titanic II is going to cost him.
Thus, when asked about much money he would have to invest in this project, he settled for stating that, "The Titanic was a ship of dreams," and that, "The Titanic II will be the ship where dreams come true."
In case anyone was wondering, it appears that Titanic II will be built in China, by a state-owned company known as CSC Jinling Shipyard.

The causes of vaginal dryness can vary from woman to woman. Most women experience vaginal dryness at some point in life, whether it be as a result of menopause, pregnancy, or from fluctuations in the menstrual cycle or hormones. Stress can also be a factor in causing vaginal dryness. Certain medications or chemotherapy and radiation treatments may also lead to feminine discomfort. And still, some women simply have an inadequate supply of natural lubrication and experience continual dryness and irritation.
When it comes to vaginal dryness, Sylk is the "natural" remedy that women love.
Regardless of what might be the cause of your vaginal dryness, Sylk personal lubricant can help give you relief. Sylk is a gentle, natural vaginal lubricant that has a pH level which is similar to the normal levels of a typical, healthy woman. Sylk has no hormones, no harsh chemical additives, and it is ultra-slick, non-sticky and long lasting. Sylk is the most gentle and natural way to supplement your own lubrication.

Answer: For Carpet: Sounds like you need a good carpet cleaning! In order to get the pine sap out of the carpet, I recommend trying Tough Stain Pre-Treat for Carpet and Upholstery. This product will loosen the pine sap. After using this product properly (you will find the instructions on the back of the bottle) use a portable or upright carpet cleaner filled with HOT water to help flush out the extra stain. If there is any discoloration remaining, follow up with OxyPro® Stain Remover for Carpet .
For Linoleum: Make sure to check with the manufacturer of your flooring before steam cleaning. If your flooring allows steam cleaning, you can try steam cleaning your floor with the Lift-Off® Steam Mop™ Hard Surface Cleaner. It includes a detachable steam pod with hose cleans sinks, grout, tile and more. Applying OxyPro® Stain Remover for Carpet and letting it stand overnight might help remove any discoloration from the stains.

Postgame Thoughts: Hawks at Wizards
Some thoughts on the Hawks' tough 100-95 overtime win over the Wizards Tuesday night in DC:
— Lou Williams was the player of the game for the Hawks tonight, and really saved their bacon with some timely shots, especially after Devin Harris was lost for the game with a sore foot. LouWillVille finished the night with a season-high 24 points, including 10-11 from the foul line, to lead the team to victory. His 3-pointer with 43.9 seconds left in regulation stemmed the tide for the Hawks late, and settled the team down to eventually take home the win.
— Larry Drew didn't want to play DeShawn Stevenson tonight (Stevenson typically doesn't play both ends of a back-to-back to rest his knees), but forced into service DeShawn came up big. Not only did he hit TWO baskets from inside the arc, but his 3-pointer in overtime gave the Hawks the lead for good. If he ends up not playing against the Thunder Wednesday night as a result, at least his minutes were not spent in vain.
— Another game, another stat stuff for Josh Smith. 17 points, 13 rebounds, 5 blocks (including a huge one with the Wizards trying to tie it up late in OT), and 3 steals for Smoove.
— Kyle Korver was hot tonight, hitting 5-6 from the field for 16 points. Would like to have seen him get some more looks, but give the Wizards credit for chasing him all over the court.
— Quiet night for Al Horford. Big Al only scored 5 points, but chipped in in other ways with 11 boards and 6 assists.
— Former Hawk Jordan Crawford did his best against his former team, hitting difficult shot after difficult shot to finish with 27 points. He jawed with his former teammates all night long, even drawing a double technical when ref Joey Crawford thought the conversation between him and Jeff Teague got a little salty.
Overall, a much closer result than Atlanta was hoping for, but a win is a win, especially on the road. No time to rest unfortunately, with the Thunder and their 11-game win streak in town Wednesday night at Philips Arena.

Williams-Sonoma's new Agrarian line joins the hyper-locavore movement with backyard beehives and the Alexandria Chicken Coop. ($880; Williams-Sonoma)
Williams-Sonoma began in 1956 as a purveyor of imported French cookware. If you still think of the housewares chain as a place to score a good copper-bottom pot, get ready for Agrarian. In April, the company launched a new line of "culinary gardening" products that its creator, Allison O'Connor, calls "a response to people taking charge of their lives from the ground up — literally." Agrarian is meant to aid in every leg of food's journey from dirt to table and includes all manner of apparatus for growing, preparing, preserving, and serving food, from seeds and live plants to outdoor furniture and chicken and beekeeping equipment. "It's about supporting a lifestyle of healthy living and connecting the virtues of homegrown and homemade into our customers' everyday lives," says O'Connor.
Agrarian is not Williams-Sonoma's first step outdoors, but the line pushes beyond garden benches and grilltop pizza stones to embrace recent foodie trends. Agrarian includes such stalwarts as stainless-steel tools from Britain's Joseph Bentley and classic Weck canning jars, but the company also sought out artisanal products from up-and-coming companies—garden markers from Brooklyn Slate Co. and repurposed burlap Marano bags. "It's a natural extension of the brand from the kitchen to earth," O'Connor says.

CD Projekt Red, the developer of the recent The Witcher 2 role playing game, has confirmed that all of the future downloadable content for the title will be free for the PC version, although the upcoming Xbox 360 version might not benefit from such a great deal due to Microsoft's policies.
The Witcher 2 was acclaimed both by reviewers and players for its great visuals, tight gameplay and complex RPG mechanics. Now, just as the PC version is getting ready to receive the massive update 2.0, its developer, CD Projekt Red, has talked about the future DLC plans.
Speaking with Rock Paper Shotgun, development director Adam Badowski confirmed that future content will still be free on the PC, just like it was up until now, but the upcoming Xbox 360 version of the game might not benefit from the same treatment, due to Microsoft's harsh policies.
"All DLC for the PC version is and will remain free," Badowski emphasized. "That's not likely to be the story for the Xbox version, because of certain Microsoft policies that need to be followed. But on PC, once you buy our game, you don't need to worry about any additional costs – we will provide all updates, including those featuring new content, for free."
Up until now, almost each patch brought one or two new quests for players, while the upcoming update 2.0 includes a variety of new features, like an Arena mode, a harder Dark difficulty setting, as well as an enhanced tutorial mode.
The Polish studio confirmed that all of the content released up until now will be included on the Xbox 360 edition, but that might not be the case with DLC that's made after game's console version is launched in early 2012.
Microsoft's policies have been criticized by other developers in the past, including Valve, which pushed a lot of free DLC for its games on the PC, but was forced to charge money when the add-ons appeared for the Xbox 360 versions.

Glenn Corbett live from a protest during the dedication of the 9/11 Memorial Museum at Ground Zero in Manhattan.
Good morning, this is Pete Brockilo, with Fire Engineering. I'm here with Glenn Corbet, one of our technical editors, who is down at ground zero for the opening of the 9-11 memorial museum today. Glenn, can you tell us a little about what's going on down there. Sure Pete, thanks for having me on. I'm standing at the corner of Church and Liberty adjacent to the World Trade Center site. It's pretty dreary today, it's overcast, it was raining this morning. I'm here with a group of families that we've been working with for many years now. Of course, today is the opening of the 9/11 Memorial Museum. And we're getting your on that, at that corner of Liberty and Church essentially protesting some of the issues that are contained within the museum, particularly the, the biggest one for the families, particularly the firefighter families the the entombment of the unidentified human remains in the basement of the museum. We've been advocating for years to have this repository as a separate and distinct above ground tomb [INAUDIBLE] unknown soldiers and unfortunately that didn't happen and so we're down here today to make our. thoughts now on where [UNKNOWN] could perhaps helps us with the situation. There's a variety of issues Pete, here Pete. This is a gigantic money making operation down here so to some extent it's David and Goliath kind of situation. The opening is going to be occurring here in about, about 15 minutes. They're gonna have a dedication ceremony in the museum itself. So again we're down here in attempts to tell the public that you know, we're opposed to placing the remains at the museum, and certainly a lot of the other issues that are important not only to firefighters but people for us to you know, to [UNKNOWN]. All right so, Glenn, have any of these issues that you've raised been addressed in any kind of substantive way or? Have you been able to, have you seen your communications, you know any evidence of it having any effect what so ever? Or what's been the communication system like? Well we've basically been shut out. There really hasn't been any communication, we've simply asked with a meeting with they mayor. The Mayor de Blasio. Discussed these issues. You know, we want to tell them that we did our own survey a couple years ago through a family member about, specifically about the human remains. And we polled about 1,000 people. 1,000 different distinct families. And we got a response, we got 300 back. And of those 300, in injured 300 different families. 94.5% of them, 94.6% of the families, were opposed to the placement of the remains inside the, museum in the basement. They wanted it again, that's what we pulling for today. There's too many unknowns at an above-ground location. You know, Steve, it, it, it's bad that the trees down here in this urban forest that they've created with the memorial pools. It's more important than the people that died here that day. So that's why we're trying, again, get the word out but we've unfortunately we've been met with a lot of. You know basically white stairs and brick walls we haven't really been able to do anything you know, for, for us and everything. So in any case, you know, we're kinda here 18 years, the family members here in the background, [SOUND]. So in any case, One thing I was gonna ask you, how, how can, members, regular members of the fire service, I mean, obviously, 911 has really affected the overall American fire service above and beyond, obviously what it did to the fire department in New York. How can. Fire Fighters from around the nation get involved with this cause, and help out in any way. Well I certainly, it certainly see email Mayor [UNKNOWN] and Governor Cuomo here in New York, you know, putting, you know, fire fighters worth back worth in backing through email will be very helpful to us. They ultimately want to express other kind of issues down here. You know, the human remains is perhaps the biggest one. But the fact that big curve most of the firefighters in America, they recognize honor and tradition and all of those good things and stuff. And unfortunately here at Ground Zero, there's only one single, solitary American flag on the entire site. And it's on top of an air conditioning building. They refuse to put any flags on top of the plaza. And Pete, what they're trying to effectively do, and they've come out and said this, they want to make this an urban park, a place where people can come out and eat their lunch and enjoy the day, perhaps reflect from moment to moment with the pools, but prospectively integrate this into the entire city, and. Of course we would never expect that to happen at Pearl Harbor or Gettysburg or any kind of American shrine basically, and unfortunately it's the complete opposite at ground zero. So I think, again, I think just contacting there own [INAUDIBLE] own federal legislators. We believe that's, for example going forward. Is gonna cost [UNKNOWN] for 60 million dollars they're gonna operate. [UNKNOWN] Pretty much any national park in America basically. And so they're gonna come out with their heads down in Washington in the very near future. So I would hope that the firefighters listening today we'll talk to their own legislators and advocate or [UNKNOWN]. To bring back not only sanity into the situation down here, but also respect, and honor that is really, really desperately needed down here. So, that's what they could do [UNKNOWN], and I'm hoping, like I said, in the near future, you know, we may be able to turn a corner with this thing and get it straight to where, again American firefighters that that do visit this site will find a site of respect and honor, not an urban park. We'll keep [UNKNOWN] at the, right above the wall that people died that day, September 2001. Alright Glenny, thank you for the update, any closing words, or, take aways. No. I think, Pete, like I said this is gonna be an ongoing for the next several years and we're just gonna keep following it, you know. 343 firefighters that day were killed and one fire patrolman. They deserve honor and respect along with all the other people down here. And its unfortunately its become a gigantic money making operation and it certainly shouldn't be. So again, thanks for having me on today and I'm hoping like I said that the next time we're on that we'll have a much different story to tell
