"I'm going to hang up on you," Babcock told NHL.com as he rushed from his car into his house.
Only hours earlier, the coach of the Detroit Red Wings received a harsh reminder of how precious time with family -- his wife Maureen and kids Allie, Michael and Taylor -- actually is.
Babcock's friend and former assistant coach Brad McCrimmon, along with one of his former players, Ruslan Salei, were among the at least 43 passengers that died in a plane crash near the city of Yaroslavl in Central Russia on Wednesday. The majority of the passengers on board were members of the Kontinental Hockey League team Lokomotiv.
McCrimmon was on his way to make his head coaching debut after three seasons of standing next to Babcock on Detroit's bench. Salei was going to make his debut for Lokomotiv after playing for Babcock last season in Detroit and from 2002-04 in Anaheim.
- Lokomotiv Yaroslavl involved in plane crash
- NHL players react to tragic crash on Twitter
- Demitra remembered as 'great friend, teammate'
- Skrastins made mark as an NHL ironman for d-men
- Salei leaves behind three kids, 'special' in own way
- Outpouring of grief from NHL teams following crash
- New coach McCrimmon carved lengthy NHL career
- Rachunek had long history with KHL's Lokomotiv
- Winter shares memories of Demitra, Vasicek
- Nabokov, Yashin stunned by news of tragedy
- Bettman releases statement regarding plane crash
- Hockey not immune to tragic events
Salei, known as "Rusty," leaves behind his wife, Bethann, and three kids -- Alexis, Aleksandro and Ava, who was born in March.
Babcock spent several hours Wednesday afternoon consoling Maureen McCrimmon and her kids at their home in Northville, Mich.
"The first thought I have is obviously shock," Babcock said shortly after leaving the grieving McCrimmon house. "We all fly in our business. We never think of it or worry about it.
"The next thought I have is to hug your kids and do as much with them as you can, don't put anything off until tomorrow because you don't know when your number is going to come up."
Babcock said he didn't immediately think of McCrimmon and Salei when he first learned of the crash Wednesday morning.
"I thought of their families," he said. "You hope everything is in order financially. You hope, but you don't know any of these things. I mean, these are good, good people with great families, and they're going to be missed."
Babcock struggled to describe his time Wednesday afternoon at the McCrimmon home.
"The big thing for me is not about what I felt; it is about what they are going through," Babcock said. "I lost my mom when I was 26 or 27 -- that's not 14 and losing your dad, I can tell you.
"You're devastated for them because their world has taken a turn that you can never anticipate, never want to anticipate and never want to experience yourself. I don't even know what to say. I feel terrible for them."
McCrimmon left Babcock's staff shortly after the 2010-11 season, choosing to leave North America for the KHL because it was his chance to be a head coach.
He left with Babcock's blessing.
"You get to a point where you're tired and you want to do your own thing," Babcock said. "I thought 'Beast' was going to do a great job."
Now he's devastated that his friend will never get that chance.
"It happens in the world, but when it happens in our small hockey community -- it's unbelievable how many NHL franchises were touched today," Babcock said. "But the people that were really touched are the families that are left behind. We're going to mourn for a few days; those families are going to be affected forever.
"I can't even imagine a young child losing their dad. I don't know what else to say than that."

Bur Oak
Holly Avenue
Located at the intersection of Holly Avenue and Mackubin Street, this magnificent Bur Oak is a true landmark in the Summit-University neighborhood of Saint Paul. Photographs captured as early as 1890 reveal that this tree was already well established as the surrounding neighborhood grew and developed throughout the 1880's and 1890's. The tree's wide canopy arches over the street enriching the experiential quality of the neighborhood and providing shade to those out on a summer stroll.

Buy Valerian Herbal Extract & Health Supplements
Natural Vitamins and Herbs Essential For Health
Valerian Root Extract | Medicinal History | Quality and Ingredients | Use in Modern Medicine | Research and Scientific Data
Extract 2oz Bottle
Nerve Formula
2oz Bottle $15.99
As an herbal supplement take 2 droppers of valerian extract in a cup of water as an herbal tea or as directed by your health care professional.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Valerian root is well known for its sedative qualities and its ability to relax the central nervous system and the smooth muscle groups. It has been used as a sleeping aid for hundreds of years especially when there is excitation or difficulty in falling to sleep due to nervousness. Over 120 chemical components are found in Valerian root. Although a very complex herb, it has not been found to have any negative side effects with moderate use.
Dr. Christopher's Valerian Extract is a high quality product designed to calm nerves, help relax, reduce nervous tension and give temporary relief from mild pain. Valerian Extract is a natural sedative, quiet and soothing to the nerves.
Documented scientific research on Valerian has noted a mild hypnotic action in both normal sleepers and insomniacs, indicated by a beneficial effect on sleep latency, wake-time after sleep, frequency of waking, nocturnal motor activity, inner restlessness and tension and quality of sleep. Sleepiness and dream recall the morning after were unaffected. The compounds in Valerian root have a regulatory effect on the autonomic nervous system; research suggests that they have a calming effect on agitated people but are also a stimulant in cases of fatigue.
Ailments Treated With Valerian And The Benefits
Valerian is best used for nervousness and insomnia. Many studies have found it to be an effective, mild tranquilizer for those in emotional stress. It is also helpful for exhaustion, menstrual agitation, relaxant, and can benefit those with migraines.

In August, during the American Sociological Association annual meeting, faculty member Katherine Chen accepted an award for her article in a peer-reviewed journal:
Chen, Katherine K. 2012. "Laboring for the Man: Augmenting Authority in a Voluntary Association." Research in the Sociology of Organizations 34: 135-164.
• Outstanding Author Contribution Award Winner at the Literati Network Awards for Excellence 2013.
Because of the award, the publisher has made her article free to download here
She has also recently published two articles:
Chen, Katherine K. 2013. "Storytelling: An Informal Mechanism of Accountability for Voluntary Organizations." Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly 42(5): 902-922.
Using observations, interviews, and archival research of an organization that coordinates the annual Burning Man event, I argue that storytelling is a mechanism by which stakeholders can demand accountability to their needs for recognition and voice. I identify particular frames, or perspectives and guides to action, articulated in members' stories. Deploying a personalistic frame, storytellers recounted individuals' contributions toward a collective endeavor. Such storytelling commemorated efforts overlooked by official accounts and fostered bonds among members. Other storytellers identified problems and organizing possibilities for consideration under the civic society or anarchist frames. By familiarizing organizations with members' perspectives and interests, stories facilitate organizational learning that can better serve stakeholders' interests. Additional research could explore whether (1) consistent face-to-face relations (2) within a bounded setting, such as an organization, and (3) practices that encourage participation in organizing decisions and activities are necessary conditions under which storytelling can enable accountability to members' interests.
Chen, Katherine K., Howard Lune, and Edward L. Queen, II. 2013. "'How Values Shape and are Shaped by Nonprofit and Voluntary Organizations:' The Current State of the Field." Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly 42(5): 856-885.
To advance understanding of the relationship between values and organizations, this review synthesizes classic and recent organizational and sociological research, including this symposium's articles on voluntary associations. We argue that all organizations reflect, enact, and propagate values. Organizations draw on culture, which offers a tool kit of possible actions supported by institutional logics that delineate appropriate activities and goals. Through institutional work, organizations can secure acceptance for unfamiliar practices and their associated values, often under the logic of democracy. Values may be discerned in any organization's goals, practices, and forms, including "value-free" bureaucracies and collectivist organizations with participatory practices. We offer suggestions for enhancing understanding of how collectivities advance particular values within their groups or society.

• Fixing oversight. With 108 Congressional committees, subcommittees and commissions watching over DHS, there's a chaotic system in place that often leads to policies that make Americans less safe.
Many lawmakers realize the stakes.
"America can't win the battle for hearts and minds in the Muslim world by apologizing and by banning terms like 'war on terror' and 'radical Islam.' Such self-flagellation only encourages our enemies," explained Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., in a May 4 speech. "Humbled by the lessons of 9/11, and reminded of their value just this weekend in Times Square, today we reaffirm that our nation must never again be caught off guard."
The Times Square attempt was stopped because an alert citizen saw suspicious activity and notified police, who took the threat seriously and acted quickly. But let's not forget that the suspect was able to board an airplane (after buying his one-way ticket with cash) and was actually back from the gate before federal agents arrived to detain him.
That's too close for comfort. DHS should focus on gathering more intelligence and finding better ways to share it with local law enforcement and foreign partners. Information may be our nation's best weapon against terrorism.
A false sense of complacency led to thousands of deaths and the destruction of the World Trade Center. But if our government remains focused and takes the correct steps, it can keep Americans safe.

In 2005 the U.S. Department of Agriculture officially released its newest Food Guide Pyramid, which was intended to help the American public make dietary choices that would maintain good health and reduce the risk of chronic disease.
The new pyramid attempts to provide individualized advice based on a person's age, gender and level of physical activity. It focuses on the consumption of grains, meat and beans, milk, vegetables, fruit, and oils.
The 2005 pyramid replaced a 1992 USDA pyramid that differed from it in several respects. The new pyramid provides more emphasis on whole grains and physical activity. It does not, however, solve all the problems associated with its predecessor, because it still places too much emphasis on grains and milk and does not sufficiently emphasize the adverse effects of some types of fat. Unlike the old pyramid's graphic representation, which showed the proportions of various foods that should be consumed as stacked layers of different sizes, the 2005 pyramid conveys no information about nutrition; it simply shows a figure ascending a rainbow-colored staircase [see box on page 17].
We have drawn up a revised pyramid that better reflects the current evidence regarding the relation between diet and health. Studies indicate that adherence to the recommendations in our revised pyramid can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease for both men and women.
The Old Food Pyramid
THE USE OF IMAGES to promote dietary advice goes back nearly a century in the U.S. The recommendations embodied in the 1992 pyramid were widely adopted, and the image became an icon. The basic advice was that people should minimize their consumption of fats and oils but should eat six to 11 servings a day of foods rich in complex carbohydrates--bread, cereal, rice, pasta and so on. The food pyramid also recommended generous amounts of vegetables (including potatoes, another plentiful source of complex carbohydrates), fruit and dairy products, and at least two servings a day from the meat and beans group, which lumped together red meat with poultry, fish, nuts, legumes and eggs.
Even when the pyramid was being developed, though, nutritionists had long known that some types of fat are essential to health and can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, scientists had found little evidence that a high intake of carbohydrates is beneficial. After 1992 more and more research showed that the USDA pyramid was grossly flawed. By promoting the consumption of all complex carbohydrates and eschewing all fats and oils, the pyramid provided misleading guidance. In short, not all fats are bad for you, and by no means are all complex carbohydrates good for you.
How did the original USDA pyramid go so wrong? In part, nutritionists fell victim to a desire to simplify their dietary recommendations. Researchers had known for decades that saturated fat--found in abundance in red meat and dairy products--raises cholesterol levels in the blood. High cholesterol levels, in turn, are associated with a high risk of coronary heart disease (heart attacks and other ailments caused by the blockage of the arteries to the heart). In the 1960s controlled feeding studies, in which the participants ate carefully prescribed diets for several weeks, substantiated that saturated fat increases cholesterol levels. But the studies also showed that polyunsaturated fat--found in vegetable oils and fish--reduces cholesterol. Thus, dietary advice during the 1960s and 1970s emphasized the replacement of saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat, not total fat reduction.
The notion that fat in general is to be avoided stems mainly from observations that affluent Western countries have both high intakes of fat and high rates of coronary heart disease. This correlation, however, is limited to saturated fat. Societies in which people eat relatively large portions of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat tend to have lower rates of heart disease [see box on page 21].

Book Review – If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Actor
Randolph Giudice
every Bruce Willis and Steven Spielberg, there are a hundred no-name slobs
scraping out a living in this shockingly difficult profession," Bruce
Campbell writes in the introduction to his hilarious biography, If Chins
Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Actor. The book leads the reader on a
rip-roaring tour through the underbelly of blue collar
Hollywood, and gives the skinny on enough dream factory
misadventures to choke a room full of studio executives.
those of you who are not male, ages 13-45, and proud owners of the
Necronomicon, or don't consider "Gimme some sugar, baby!" the
perfect pickup line, you may be wondering just who the hell is Bruce
Campbell. Star of on-screen atrocities such as Mindwarp
and Maniac Cop, Campbell earned
cult status one night at the Redford Theater in 1981 with the release of
zombie classic, Evil Dead.
the simple location of "a cabin in a feral, isolated valley," Evil
Dead was the product of the homegrown, Mid-Western sensibilities of
director Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and other members of the "Detroit
Mafia." The "Mafia" (Campbell's affectionate moniker for his
grass roots film collective) got together for twelve grueling weeks in
rural Tennessee to film the "comedy of terrors" that would become the
horror phenomenon of the decade.
is the perfect narrator, recounting episodes of on-set mayhem with the
enthusiasm of a man truly in love with his job. From charging bulls, to
near lethal run-ins with craft service cuisine, Campbell gleefully
chronicles the obstacles cast and crew endured getting Evil
Dead in the can. While aspiring actors may find themselves running to
their career counselor to choose another profession, film enthusiasts will
be wiping drool off the pages, as Campbell showcases low budget camera
rigs like the unforgettable, "Vas-O-Cam", a makeshift dolly consisting
of camera, saw horse, duct tape, two-by-fours, and - you guessed
it - generous amounts of Vaseline.
even with the success of Evil Dead,
Evil Dead 2, and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness, Campbell found A-list status elusive,
not to mention costly. In a chapter called "Anatomy of a Paycheck",
Campbell breaks down his salary for the two years spent shooting Army
of Darkness. What starts out as a half a million dollar payday ends
up - after a sinuous journey past agents, managers, and an ex-wife - the annual salary for a manager in a retail bookstore chain.
the standard entries of your typical memoir, Campbell screens his colorful
life like a slide show, plastering the early chapters of his book with
nostalgic pictures and memorabilia. The most interesting childhood
articles include battle plans, a design for an armed wooden tank, and an
instructional diagram on how to "fake-flush" a sibling's sock down
the toilet, (ample proof that Campbell is profoundly in touch with his
inner child).
there was an ominous blip on the B-status radar with rumors that Campbell
had been offered the role of the Lizard in the next installment of the
Spiderman series. Mercifully, the information proved false. As protectors
of Campbell's artistic reputation,
one could hear sighs of relief from Duluth, Minnesota to Newark, New
Jersey. Indeed, cult heroes like Campbell are held up as national
treasures to a certain demographic - see paragraph
also proves he has a self-deprecating sense of humor, loyally including
emails in his book from the fans that have made him the icon he is today.
Ranging from the normal to the surreal, one fan boldly suggests an
alternative title for the actor's biography:
How To Sorta Succeed in
Hollywood. High praise indeed.
Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Actor by Bruce Campbell

As you know, the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App was originally launched with the concept of helping you, our Microsoft partners, more easily find and connect with information here at Microsoft. With the new 3.0 version of the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App, which is now available in the Windows Phone Marketplace, we are expanding this functionality even further, while also improving on how we deliver the latest and greatest information to you.
In the new 3.0 version of the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App, you will notice several new updates, and there's one update that won't be readily apparent to you when you first get in, but it is one that dramatically changes how the information is made available to you, which should have a very positive impact on your overall experience with the app itself. Here's a quick overview, and some demos, of the changes and additions in the 3.0 version of the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App:
To help you get a better feel for the new vChat component in the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App, here is a short demo video showing you vChat in action within the app itself:
Additional feeds: As always, based on input and feedback, as well as new and exciting things happening here, additional feeds have been added to the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App in several of the sections, including the People, Products, and Events sections.
Dynamic Updating: Speaking of additional feeds, Dynamic Updating in the new 3.0 version of the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App is the feature that I mentioned would not be readily apparent to you when you launch the app, but it will drastically change the way you get new information within the app. In previous versions of the app, when partners requested additional feeds be added to the app, or when we announced something new here at Microsoft which would justify a new item in one of the categories within the app, it would require an update to the app itself, which meant we were pushing a new update out through the Windows Phone Marketplace and required you to update your app to get it. Since I have tried to keep the number of updates to a reasonable level so you are not having to download an update weekly, this could mean a somewhat long delay between the time the request or activity took place and the time the solution was delivered to you through the app. Now with dynamic updating in the 3.0 version of the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App, we can deliver updates to the feeds in the app in real-time, using the power of Windows Azure!
You have to see it to believe it, so here is a video demo of Dynamic Updating in action in the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App, so you can see how it works and how updated feeds will be added, removed, and changed in the future through the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App:
Now before you ask, the Office Next Blog that is shown in the demo is still in the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App, it has just been incorporated into the Office feed itself, vs. being a separate feed under Products.
As always, please continue to keep the feedback and suggestions coming in on how you are using the Microsoft Partner Info Mobile App today and how we can continue to make it even more valuable to all of you. Also, if you feel there are feeds not included in the app today that you think should be there, whether they are Country, Product, Event, or People feeds, please let me know and we will continue to evaluate all requests that come in from our partners and our internal teams here at Microsoft.
Did you find this information helpful? If so, you may want to make sure you are utilizing all of the areas I share information online, such as:
Thanks again for being a reader of my blog!
Thank you and have a wonderful day,
Eric Ligman – Follow me on TWITTER, LinkedIn, and RSS and see "What I'm thinking" Director, Worldwide Partner Experience Microsoft Corporation This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights
I'm trying to install the app on Lumia 800 but it say's it the device is not supported.
@ Dan - Thanks for letting me know. This is the first I've heard of any issues on a Lumia, but we're looking into it.

So I received an email earlier this week from one of the ladies who volunteers with New Leash on Life in Lebanon. Now, as I have stated numerous times, I love animals - but especially dogs.
The email was a request to put in a story regarding two dogs available for adoption at the shelter. Of course, we have the pets of the week each Tuesday and the email said both of the dogs in the story had been featured there. But a year after their journey to New Leash on Life, both dogs are still looking for adopters.
According to the information in the story I was sent, Bandit and Victory were both rescued in the summer of last year. Bandit was given to New Leash on Life after his caregiver developed health issues and couldn't care for the number of abandoned dogs he had taken in. As for Victory, she was a part of a rescue of 100 dogs in a hoarding situation.
I told Judy, who sent the email, that if I could afford to keep two more dogs, I would have kept them myself. I took one look at their picture and just couldn't stop smiling. As a matter of fact, I have opened that email a good six or eight times just to look at the picture because it makes me smile. Both dogs are just completely adorable.
The information sent on each dog from the email is quoted here.
"Bandit is a handsome black and white Beagle mix. If you look into his warm brown eyes, you'll see a mix of shyness and hope; hope that you will understand his shyness and give him the security and love every dog deserves. He just wants someone to take a chance on him.
Victory is a lovely black and tan shepherd/lab mix. Before coming to New Leash on Life, she knew life only as a pack dog in a desolate pen without shelter and very little human interaction. While she is still slightly skittish, Victory has made great progress. She is figuring out how that whole affection-interaction thing works. Victory arrived at New Leash heartworm positive. She was recently retested and is now just barely positive so her monthly treatment/preventative for the condition has been working. With vigilant monthly treatments, Victory is expected to fully recover."
So, fellow dog lovers, if you are like me and can't stop smiling when you look at this photo, maybe you can find a place in your heart, and home, for two adorable canines. The shelter is looking for an adopter to take these two together, as the dogs are fast friends.
If you or someone you know needs a couple of furry companions, call New Leash on Life at 444-1144 for more information and a chance to meet Bandit and Victory.
As I know that unfortunately I cannot have them myself, I can at least hang on to their picture to help me smile when I need a pick-me-up. But for one lucky adopter, there is a chance to come home to these adorable faces everyday. If that is you, please help these two find a good home.
Wanted: New home for adorable canines

Denver (AP) - The Pitkin County District Attorney wants a grand jury to investigate the carbon monoxide-poisoning deaths of a family vacationing at a home near Aspen.
Martin Beeson says he filed a motion seeking the investigation Wednesday in district court. If it's approved, a grand jury will determine what, if any, crimes were committed in the Lofgren
family's deaths.
Parker Lofgren, his wife, Caroline, and their two children, 10-year-old Owen and 8-year-old Sophie, were found dead in a home outside Aspen the day after Thanksgiving. The family had won a weekend at the vacation home in a fundraiser.
Investigators say a disconnected exhaust pipe in a utility closet was leaking carbon monoxide. Officials won't say if the home had a detector.
Gov. Bill Ritter signed a bill last week requiring carbon monoxide detectors in all homes and apartment buildings offered for sale after July 1.

Brand Passion Index: Let Them Eat Publix
I've never been much of a cake eater, but I've always loved to bake – usually from scratch, but I've been known to call in a favor to Betty Crocker now and then. Though icing and 3D spectacles aren't my forte, when it comes to my kids' birthdays I've made everything from Iron Man to Dora the Explorer to Elmo (you can make pretty much design anything on top of a cake with the combo of jelly beans and gum drops J). So when this week's installment of the What Women Want BPI series focused on cake, which landed #5 [...]Read more

What I love about the What Women Want project is the incredible insight it gave us into the top ten things that men and women talk about wanting online…but that doesn't always mean I have something to say (exhibit A: a nice Jewish girl talking about bacon??). So, let me say how thrilled I am that this week's topic is beer – finally, a topic where I can relate! Beer landed at #4 on men's top ten list, but it's definitely #1 for my husband, who turns down commercial beer in favor of his own home-brewed creations. With a 6-tap [...]Read more

I've written blog posts over the past couple of years on many different topics, but this one, the fifth installment of the What Women Want BPI series on bacon brands, has got to be the hardest – because I have very little to say. You see, I've never eaten bacon before, and have absolutely no personal experience or opinion to shed on this topic. But just because I have nothing to say, it doesn't mean that other people are not talking about bacon in social media. So, let's see what both men and women are saying about number ten of [...]Read more

Solar slates
Government green energy tariffs planned for next April are likely to see demand for solar slates increase. Hattie Hartman compares three products
When it comes to renewables, one of the more appealing products on the market is the solar roof tile, compatible with both slates and clay tiles.
Because solar tiles are an 'in roof' rather than an 'on roof' solution, they are much less visually obtrusive. Solar Century's C21e won Interbuild's Best Exterior Product award in 2004. Competitors have been surpisingly slow to enter the market, and there are currently only three tiles readily available in the UK, with a fourth on its way.
This is all about to change with the Government's long awaited introduction of feed in tariffs in April 2010. Nu-lok managing director Wayne Mills notes that in the last year his company has seen its market shift from predominantly roofing to 80% enquiries related to solar installations. Solar Century's sales doubled this year with about 70% of its tiles sold directly to volume housebuilders and the remainder distributed through builders' outlets. The retrofit market is also likely to increase, with solar tiles as an attractive alternative when a new roof is installed.
Cost, appearance and ease of installation are the three main considerations in selecting a tile. Solar tiles are about 15% more expensive than the bolt-on 'on roof' equivalent, though their cost is partially offset in newbuild by the savings on roofing tiles.
Ease of installation is critical. Nu-lok advocates a 'one stop shop' approach for system design and installation, and has recently acquired a PV installation company in order to launch Nu-Sustainable which will do just that. Solar Century's tile is fitted using standard battens and clips available from any builders' merchants and can be installed either by a specialist PV engineer or a general contractor.
Any solar tile product should be listed on the Microgeneration Certification Scheme.
Below are three solar slate product studies:
Heritage Solar Slate
The Heritage Solar Slate uses a high-efficiency 'back contact' cell, which means no lines are visible on the front of the tile, enabling a constant colour. No specialist trade is required for installation. The back of each slate has a push-fit connector to link to the next slate. The tiles are sand-blasted to resemble slates.
Manufacturer:PV Systems
Size: 500mm x 252mm x 6mm
Weight: 1.8kg
kW peak/m²: 152W/m²
Cell type: Monocrystalline
Components: Low-iron glass with proprietary surface finish, anodised aluminium back and edge
Fitting method: Same as conventional roofing slates, secured with roofing hooks
Warranty: Limited performance warranty 20 years to 80 per cent output
Manufactured: Wales
Start date of UK distribution: 2009
NU-Lok SMT 5
Nu-Lok can manufacture bespoke pieces for awkward roof conditions and match the backing colour of the 3M film to existing roof slates. Recently specified on a Grade II-listed church in Islington, London. An in-house PV engineer wires the panels alongside a roofing contractor. A reflective finish on the panels is optional.
Size: 1,200 x 400 x 5mm
Weight: 13kg
kW peak/m²: 114W/m²
Cell type: Monocrystalline
Components: 4mm toughene glass, 1mm tedlar backing
Fitting method: Direct to Nu-lok battens
Warranty: 25 years
Manufactured: UK
Start date of UK distribution: 2001
Solar Century C21E
One solar tile covers the area of four conventional tiles. The nib of a tile hooks on to a roof batten and is screwed into place, as is standard practice. The slates are linked with simple push-fit connections, and electrical leads are passed into the space at the end of the roof.
Manufacturer:Solar Century
Size: 1,200mm x 300mm x 14mm (exposed)
Finishes: Non-reflective
Weight: 5kg
kW peak/m²: 143W/m²

Is this worth the pain?
All the drama, all the chaos
What do I have to gain?
What is it going to cost?
Am I looking for a relationship
That has an expiration date
Or a guy who's my perfect fit?
Is there such thing as fate?
I can't handle the pressure
All I want is to know the end
ANd I'd go through great measure
I want it done; skip the pretend
Can't we skip the heartbreaks
Leave out all the useless crap
I'm tired of the deciet and fakes
Let's call it quits; "that's a wrap!"

Medical Subject Headings
Features of the MeSH Vocabulary
MeSH contains several different types of terms.
Descriptors (main headings): characterize the subject matter or content.
Qualifiers: are used with descriptors and afford a means of grouping together those documents concerned with a particular aspect of a subject. A list of qualifiers appears following the list of new descriptors.
MeSH also has special types of headings available for indexing, cataloging, and online searching:
Publication Types: characterize what the item is, i.e., its genre, rather than what it is about.
Geographics: include continents, regions, countries, states, and other geographic subdivisions. They are listed in category Z of the tree structures.
Entry terms or see references: synonyms or closely related terms that are cross-references to descriptors. Generally, entry vocabulary may be used interchangeably with preferred descriptors for searching of PubMed. Thus, the entry vocabulary is a means by which the MeSH thesaurus can be enriched.
Complex concepts can be described in three different ways. The first of these is coordination, the combined use of two or more separate descriptors. For example, jejunal enteritis may be expressed by the use of Jejunum and Enteritis. Secondly, qualifiers can be used in conjunction with appropriate descriptors. A deficiency of monoamine oxidase may be indexed as Monoamine Oxidase/deficiency. The direct linkage of the qualifier to the descriptor to which it relates avoids the possibility of false coordination that may occur if two descriptors are used to represent a single concept. Thirdly, many pre-coordinated descriptors are contained in MeSH for frequently encountered subjects. If MeSH has a pre-coordinated descriptor such as Heart Surgery, the indexer or cataloger uses it rather than a descriptor-qualifier combination. If a descriptor-qualifier combination is available, it will be used in preference to coordinating two descriptors.

Athenaeum Press Building is one of the largest Guastavino projects in
the Boston Area. The entire basement assembly is in Guastavino tiling
topped by 5 stories of wood-framed brick clad warehouse space. The East
Cambridge Architectural Guide provides this summary of the building's
novelty which Guastavino vaulting, though unnamed, is an integral part
"One of the earliest buildings (on First Street) was the Athenaeum
Press (1895) which covers the whole block of First, Second, Athenaeum
and Munroe. Designed by Lockwood, Greene & Co. the 200 x 70 foot building
combined conventional 19th century mil construction techniques with a
new emphasis on structural and manufacturing efficiency, including innovations
in ventilation, plumbing, lighting and fireproofing. Since the Athenaeum
Press occupied a prominent riverfront location, many stylistic features
were added to the exterior, including a central pavillion topped by a
statue of Athena (which has recently been reinstalled)."

Still massive fans of Print, this is the first in our series of 2010 wrap up stories. It's been a pretty big year for the Magazine industry, the battle between online and print is almost forgotten, and in its place a surge to create something new and big to cement the core elements of print media. There are so many magazines we could have picked from, and we're sure we've missed a few out, i-D for example, its 30th year! and others, but we wanted to talk about who did it big in 2010. This is in no particular order, and we've given you the chance to have your say in a poll(see below), as to who your favourite was.
Inventory. 2010 was a big year for Inventory Magazine, the canadian magazine which focusses around modern americana cemented itself as an important player in contemporary culture. As the focus moves away from online and toward their print version, they have continued to grow their distribution and excel at curating their own collaborations. Their much in demand collaborations which have seen them open their own retail store, ensuring that the magazine finds ways to fund its operation outside of just advertising.
032c. Joerg Koch is simply one of, if not, the best editor around. O32c manages to bring the standard of magazines in general up a level, from its immaculate design to its eclectic mix of subjects, but its the magazines ability to ask the right questions and take a story to another level. The magazine never ceases to surprise me with its indepth features and profiles.
Industrie. Industrie Magazine debuted this year, but in only 2 issues its shown the pull of a magazine focussing on the fashion industry itself. Anna Wintour and Marc Jacobs have graced the cover, and its unique look at fashion from the inside out brings an individual flavour to the market, but a view thats in high demand.
Purple Fashion. Often criticised for its clicky feel. Its Purple's tight knit community which has helped elevate the magazine to one of the most influential in recent times. Zahm and his crew of influencers have become more than the subject of a magazine but a cultural phenomenom. At the end of the day, love him or hate him, theres no denying Zahm is one of the most talented editors and journalists of our time.
Fantastic Man. In a time where we're beginning to appreciate the finer art of dressing and the sartorial elegance of being a man in this century, Fantastic Man, is a bible of sorts. Immaculate art direction and editing, its own style is in keeping with the lifestyle the magazine portrays. It's worth mentioning just how big an impact its new sister magazine, The Gentlewoman has this year too!
Pop. New Editor, New Feel, and a host of high profile collaborations and features to top anything on the market. Pop relaunched in 2009, but 2010 really saw it cement itself as a major player, and a genuine collectable periodical, think Murakami's look at Britney Spears, Richard Prince shooting Abby Lee Kershaw, Damien Hirst decorating a cover and much more. Doesn't get much bigger than that.
Richardson. Up until 2010 Richardson had been released sparatically, with a long gap betwen A3 and A4. A4 saw a new lease on life for stylist Andrew Richardson's unique look at Porn. A new online presence, a range of collectable tee's which had me adorning graphic tee's for the first time in years, and generally a very bright future. A magazine which was once underground and uber-cool, is about to become hugely influential and uber-cool.
Sang bleu. In an era where you can almost stand out by not having Tattoo's, Sang Bleu has mixed fashion, art and tattoo's in a unique way making skin art a luxury item and inspiring a whole new look at fashion and design. The magazine is huge in every way, from its 700 pages to its influence.
Apartamento. We're all a little voyeuristic when it comes down to it, and whilst street style websites, and even The Selby( did I forget facebook) have given us a look inside peoples fashion sense and homes, Apartamento brings this past-time to a level where it seems high brow and you never once catch yourself thinking "what am I doing?". Its a look inside the lives of influencers and creatives in an intelligent fashion.
Some/things. Without doubt the most beautiful magazine around today. Some/Things has a cult following like no other, it's super tight curation and amazing art direction bring fashion, art and culture to the future. If only for the amazing photography of editor Monika Bielskyte, but theres so much more. Some/Things is the leader in a new genre of magazines with collectability and book type mindsets at its heart.
Huge. In typical Japanese fashion, a mix of amazing editorial with clear product information. It's done in such as a way I don't feel as though I'm being pushed advertorial or pay for play mentality. The editorial is fantastic, with some of the world's highest profile photographers and contributors, bringing the perfect mix of Japanese and European/American Fashion.
Vogue Hommes Japan. Its been a pretty massive year for Nicola Formichetti, and its his huge influence which has propelled Vogue Hommes Japan to be one of the leading mens fashion magazines in the world. And we'll never forget the Lady Gaga AKA. Jo Calderone F/W 2010 cover.
This is our selection in no particular order, we're keen to get your thoughts.. Post your vote below and we'll announce the winners next week.

He included a copy of the shutter test results, showing that the shutter was adjusted properly. What's more, turnaround time was less than a week.

I'm pretty sure I snagged the last of this season's bounty of blueberries. I have been averaging a 2 lb container (thank you, Costco) of these gems every week and a half.

Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken Breasts and Cauli-Mash

Italian Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Chicken was on our menu plan last night, but I wasn't in the mood for our regular grilled chicken. I wanted something with a little more pizzazz.

do it
I am VERY happy with my 2007 'Busa, and have no real need for more.
However, there is an '08 Orange 'Busa with 1,200 miles that I can probably get for $7,000.
Is this a good enough deal that I should jump at it? I've got room in the garage for two 'Busas, at least until spring, when I might sell one.

I'd jump on it.
If you're not living close to the edge, then you're taking up too much space.
Fast is easy. Quick is hard.
u pick the new one up yet??

great price, low miles, I bought my 2008 orange and black (the fastest) with 1035 miles on her for 8400, with alot of extras, loved my 2007 red one but this is just more of everything in my opinion
Isn't that kind of a high price?! I mean, in comparison, my buddy has an 08 14 for sale... 3K miles, pcIII, bmc filter, brock's short meg full system, 2-8" Macintosh arm set at 6 1/6" over, lowered 3" in rear and 1 1/2" up front, a clutch lock up, and it's meticulously maintained... all for just $9K. Depending on what's been done to this 08 Busa, it seems like you could get a better deal in my opinion. Akron, Ohio craigslist has several Busa's for sale. Just my .02 Good luck.
That is a great price in my opinion. I would jump on that deal for sure.
the price is perfect! I would definitly jump on it asap!
Have u ridden a gen2? I did and was hooked! Also last year I happened to stumble accross an 08 w/ 4k miles and got it for $6600 When I got it home my 03 went on CL for $5995 and sold immediately. I practically traded bikes ...
"Do a little more than you're paid to. Give a little more than you have to. Try a little harder than you want to. Aim a little higher than you think possible, and most of all...
give thanks to God for health, family, and friends."
That sounds like a good deal to me..and you have saved enough money for a facelift.
You might like your 07 But it will not compare to that 08! Much different ride and much more torque! I love my 08! GET IT! YOU KNOW YOU WONT BE SATISFIED UNTIL YOU DO ANYWAYS!

Thread killer, when I post they seem to die
The '08 I'm looking at has after-market pipes (OEMs are long gone), and a very rusty chain - as if it had been stored out-of-doors. Plus, I'm not at all certain that I could actually get it for $7K. It's been sitting in theis credit union lobby as a repo for a couple of months now, and they've already marked it down a couple of times. After looking at prices on Cycle Trader, and Craigs, I'm not as impressed with the price as I was at first. I paid $7,000 for my '07 in late 2007 - it was only a year old at the time. '08 models are 3 years old right about now. Anyhow, after some reflection, it doesn't seem like all that good a deal after all.
I had actually been looking for a 2010 Connie anyhow...guess I'll just re-focus on that. If anybody else is interested, just PM me and I'll send you the details.

Bringing the troops home
Meilin Liang
November 9, 2011
On Monday, Oct. 21, President Barack Obama announced that Iraq troops would be withdrawn by the end of the year, allowing soldiers to be home for the blissful holidays.
Obama has agreed to work with the Iraqi government in the upcoming years under full agreement. As of now, the relationship between the United States and Iraq will be a "normal relationship between sovereign nations, an equal partnership based on mutual interest and mutual respect," said President Obama. With this, Obama will fulfill the pledge that he made in securing the nomination of president from the Democrat party four years ago. People are contended with this news but some feel as if Obama should've initiated the withdrawal earlier. "This should've been the first thing Obama should have done when he was elected in 2008," said U.S. history teacher Mr. Thompson.
The war in Iraq has led to the death of more than 4,400 troops and cost more than $700 billion. When asked whether the war was worth the human and financial toll, economics Mr. MacLeod said, "Absolutely not, a lot of soldiers were killed and wounded." Nearly 100,000 troops have already been withdrawn but 41,000 "non-combat" troops still remain. By the end of the year the last of the troops will depart Iraq with their heads held high.
After nine long years, America's war in Iraq will finally be over.
Students are ecstatic about this because many students have family members or friends in Iraq. "I'm thankful for this withdrawal because I have a family friend who has been fighting and protection our country," said senior Cherry Liu.

Quoting Devil Duckie:" IV pain meds don't last very long. I started out with them hoping to not get an eppi. seriously, it ... [snip!] ... care. It's does nothing for the pain itself. Epidurals are NOT as scary as they sound. Don't listen to the scare stories. "
Oh I know they aren't scary! I had them with both of my previous births and they were wonderfullll <3 I just want to go for a more natural approach this time.
I don't know if this has been said or not, but since the IV pain meds are systemic, they're more likely to affect your baby. The epidural is local, and not as likely to affect baby, but it's likely to drop your blood pressure.
Just a thought.
I had IV pain meds (Nubain) and all it did was make my groggy.
I had IV meds with Kai & Ry. It was the same drug, but with Kai it made me feel super loopy/high and with Ry it made me super sleepy! I have very uncomplicated labors, even when being induced so the IV was great to take the edge off. It definitely doesn't take the pain away, it just kinda dulls it! But having gone natural with Lambie & Chloe...I wish I would've gone natural with all of them! Eh...live and learn. Good luck Mama!!!
I had Iv meds to take the edge off... But it was,only after the fact that I found out they get baby high too and sometimes make it so they need oxygen after delivery.
I'll never ever do it again.
I had no epidural with either. I had no iv meds with my second it was all natural. My first was also all natural but they did give me some laughing gas that i threw back in their face cause i thought it was a joke! lol.
Quoting Squeaky McGee [21 wks]:" I don't know if this has been said or not, but since the IV pain meds are systemic, they're more likely ... [snip!] ... but it's likely to drop your blood pressure. Just a thought. I had IV pain meds (Nubain) and all it did was make my groggy."
i did not know this. then i vote epidural over IV meds.
Stadol made my sister in law sick as a dog both times she was in labor. I agree with everyone else, epidural or natural.
Quoting lauren ♥ 25 weeks:" Have any of you had your baby WITHOUT an epidural, but WITH an IV pain medication? If so, how was your experience with it?"
They made me loopy so I don't remember most of my labor but they wore off by the time I needed to push so I remember and felt all of that. But it wasn't so bad, I didn't get sick and my daughter was coherent when she came out. I got the meds about 2 hours before I delivered and only the one dose. I considered my labor and delivery the easy part! It was pregnancy that sucked lol

Sue Jennings:
Sue Jennings works for the National Park Service. Listen to her comments on a NPS study and other issues surrounding working landscapes.
Transcript: Results of National Park Service Study on the Loess Hills Right now what we have determined is the Loess Hills landscape meets the significant criteria. That is, it is a nationally significant landscape because of its geologic features or components -- that's the loess deposits. No where else in the world do we see such depth of loess deposits with the very narrow ridge lines and the dissections. There are some areas in the United States that have loess deposits but not that deep or not that well defined or expressed. It also meets the suitability criteria. We don't, in the National Park Service system, have any other area that resembles the Loess Hills. Now it did not meet the feasibility criteria for a number of reasons. One, 95% of the Loess Hills are in private ownership and it would be very, very difficult to bring those lands into public ownership. The Park Service does not purchase property unless it's from a willing seller. And through our public meetings and telephone surveys that were conducted by the Loess Hills Alliance and other communications, it's very clear that that landscape or the landowners have no desire to sell their land to the federal government. And there are other reasons too. Even if there were willing sellers, I think lot of positive steps that have been taken already in the Loess Hills environment to protect that landscape. The Nature Conservancy, the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation, the Golden Hills RC&D and a number of groups are already doing a number of activities that are helping to protect that landscape be it working with private landowners who by and large WANT to preserve that landscape, and they have the perfect right to. It's their land and many of them are very adamant about their land ownership rights and we certainly understand that and can support that.

text: There are many reasons to be skeptical that any likely budget deal would be worth supporting. And it's long past time for Republicans to be planning strategically, and laying the groundwork legislatively and politically, for an outcome of no deal (or possibly a mini-deal that doesn't sacrifice conservative principles). But this news report of a potential deal that would cut $600 to $700 billion in defense spending, so far, I believe, uncontroverted by Republican negotiators, ups the ante. Any such abdication of our basic national security responsibilites should be unacceptable--especially to Republicans, who want to claim to be the party of American strength. For what it's worth, I for one could not support such a deal, and would do what I could to mobilize others to defeat it. Decline is a choice.
