After a slow April at Triple-A, Darin Ruf is starting to heat up for Lehigh Valley in May (see story).
Also, the Phillies aren't the only team struggling in the organization. Entering Saturday, only one of the club's minor league teams had a record above .500 (see story).
Now, here's some news and notes from around Major League Baseball:
Cardinals to place Westbrook on DL
ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals will place right-hander Jake Westbrook on the 15-day disabled list with elbow inflammation and select the contract of left-hander John Gast in time for Tuesday night's game against the New York Mets.
To make room for Gast on the major league roster, the team said Sunday that injured closer Jason Motte will be moved to the 60-day disabled list while rehabilitating from reconstructive elbow surgery.
Westbrook is 2-1 with a 1.62 ERA in seven starts.
Gast was the team's minor league player of the month in April, going 3-1 with a 1.16 ERA in six starts at Triple-A Memphis. He began the season with 32 consecutive scoreless innings (see full story).

Chamberlain, Rivera smooth over spat
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Yankees relievers Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera have smoothed over an incident that occurred before Saturday night's game in Kansas City.
It happened while Rivera was talking to reporters in the dugout about an emotional meeting with local fans earlier in the day. Chamberlain was standing on the field and yelling over the dugout to members of his family, who had shown up for the game.
At one point, Rivera told Chamberlain to lower his voice. Once Rivera's interview was done, Chamberlain told Rivera in front of reporters: "Don't ever shush me."
On Sunday, Chamberlain said the two met and put the issue to rest.
Chamberlain also threw 30 pitches in a bullpen session and said he'll throw an inning in a rehab assignment Tuesday for Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre in Toledo. Chamberlain has been out since late April with a strained right oblique (see full story).
-The Associated Press
Astros designate Humber for assignment
HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros have designated pitcher Philip Humber for assignment, a day after he gave up five runs while only getting two outs in a loss to the Texas Rangers.
Just a year removed from pitching the 21st perfect game in major league history, Humber had a terrible start to 2013. He was 0-8 with a 9.59 ERA.
He started the season in the rotation, but was moved to the bullpen on Wednesday. He threw 1 1-3 scoreless innings in relief on Thursday before taking the loss in his second relief appearance on Saturday night.
Houston signed right-hander Edgar Gonzalez to take his spot on the roster. Gonzalez made the team out of spring training as a non-roster invitee, but was designated for assignment on April 5. He was claimed by Toronto and made three appearances there before he was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Thursday and opted for free agency (see full story).

Year Planted: 2009Trees Planted: 70,000Location:Upper Parana Atlantic Forest, Paraguay
The Upper Parana Atlantic Forest, stretching across the border of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, is one of the most biologically important ecosystems in the world, and one of the most endangered rainforests. The Atlantic Forest has been subject to massive deforestation, and less than 5% of the original forest cover remains. The Libertad del Sur Reforestation Project, located in Southeastern Paraguay, is part of a prioritized river-forest conservation corridor between the San Rafael Conservation Area and the Parana River and is an important component of the Upper Parana Atlantic Forest. This project contributed to the creation of a conservation corridor that will help to maintain the genetic flow between high biodiversity forests remnants in the Atlantic Forest.
This project was supported by our corporate partner, the Alcoa Foundation.

25 Years Connecting People and Nature
I went to Burr Oak Woods Conservation Nature Center on Oct. 20 to celebrate their 25th anniversary and was reminded of what makes these places so valuable. The building, exhibits and trails are important, sure. But it's the people who care so much about helping other people make deeply personal connections to nature that make a nature center matter. And the staff and volunteers over those many years, including today…well, they're just generous with their love of the outdoors and the people who might enjoy it.
Wayne Bass was one of the staff celebrating 25 years with Burr Oak Woods. He mentioned what mattered most then and still today is simply bringing people and nature together—to help that frightened 5-year-old understand that nature's really not scary but something fun to explore and enjoy.
One happy result of the conservation sales tax passed in 1976 was support for the creation of nature centers across the state. Burr Oak Woods in Blue Springs near Kansas City was the first of these.
In the evening's 25th celebration, it was Dorothy, the lion, scarecrow and tin woodsman leading 600 explorers along the trails as staff and volunteers "opened eyes to the wonders of the forest" through natural adventures themed to the Wizard of Oz.
Lisa Lacombe, the assistant manager, was one of the evil monkeys, sweeping down on a zip line (doing it 24 times that evening as different groups passed by). Stacey Davis, the manger, was a tree (which makes sense since she's tall). In just a day and a half, the reservations for the event filled up.
It doesn't surprise me. At Runge Conservation Nature Center in Jefferson City, they have an annual Halloween event (it was postponed tonight until tomorrow due to rain) that draws about 3,000 people—mostly parents with young children who still find the natural world full of magic and wonder. And that's what the nature centers are all about. And that's something worth celebrating.

I'm always for nature conversation because it's the least we can do to give back to Mother Nature...call me an idealist, but I also believe, we need to start educating the younger generation, and what you're doing is truly commendable.
On October 1st, 2010 at 6:41am Stephanie said:
I am a nature person myself, and Nature never ceases to amaze me, grownup or not. These Halloween events you have will encourage and inspire kids to explore nature more and discover for themselves its wonderful secrets.

description! [b]**Note: In order to see these skins and models at their best, Dynamic Glow is advised.**[/b] [b]Plus blades:[/b] There are four different coloured plus blades: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow. The handle and the guard are decentley textured - no faults there. When looking at the metal blade and coloured crystal(?) from the saber selection menu, the texture didn't get a 'yes' from me. It looked too scratched and the back face of the sword, where I presume it was extruded, has a stretched texture on it, which also let it down. BUT, when in game, it didn't bother me at all. I - you won't really see the texture on the sword much due to the great dynamic glow on the crystal. [b]SW-141:[/b] Incase some of you don't know who Commando SW-141 is, (I didn't) ''Commando SW-141 is a l33t mercenary working for the republic'' and he is a reskin of the Swamptrooper, as said earlier. There are four variations: Blue, Green, Red, Yellow. R,G,B are all selectable from the main character screen. Green being default and Red and Blue being team colours. Yellow can only be selected from the customizable character screen. Here you can mix them up any way you like, which I really liked - good addition. The skins themselves look very good and I was impressed with them - even without the dynamic glow they still look pretty good. The swamptrooper skin has been saturated and have had colours added to their helmet, arms, torso and legs. SW-141 has also been written across the side of his torso. [b]Sounds:[/b] There are new sounds for the SW-141 made by him. There is one taunt sound, as far as I know, and it says 'I'll cut your head off.' ~lol~. There are several death sounds aswell, but I can't type them out, for obvious reasons :) [b]Overall:[/b] I found this a brilliant pack and I will most definatley be keeping it in my base folder.

May 3, 2016
A trial is scheduled to start today in northeastern North Carolina for two animal activists charged with animal cruelty. The two PETA workers were charged after dead animals dumped in trash bins were traced to them.
Adria J. Hinkle, of Norfolk, Virginia, and Andrew B. Cook, of Virginia Beach, are charged with 21 counts each of animal cruelty. They also are charged with littering and obtaining property by false pretenses.
The pair works for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The group had volunteered to take animals from crowded animal shelters in Bertie and Northampton counties.
Their lawyer says the load of animals became too large and the workers began euthanizing the dogs and cats and dumping their bodies in the trash bin at a grocery store.

LONDON - Trade body Internet Advertising Sales Houses (Iash) has launched an investigation following revelations of online ad misplacement on an obscene US-based site.
Last week, ads from top brands such as Orange and Virgin Media were found on a barred website, onlyfights.com, which carries explicit videos of street fights and pornography from affiliates or exchanges outside Iash.
Iash, founded by the IAB to police the activities of sales houses and encourage best practice, has released a statement explaining that James Aitken, the chair of the body, is examining all available evidence with support from the internet auditing body, ABCe.
The investigation will report back to the Iash steering committee within four weeks and will impose sanctions if it is found out that any Iash networks were involved.
Aitken said: "This latest debacle demonstrates a clear need for those remaining networks outside Iash to sign up to the code of conduct. It's highly regrettable that certain networks and sales houses don't see the absolute need to clean up their act. Advertisers also need to take more care of who they are entrusting their brand to. Advertisers must be wary, or avoid UK IP targeting on unvetted US sites."
The news comes as Iash moves next month to launch twice-yearly "random month" full audits of members' processes, conducted by ABCe.

Buying a macro lens

Re: Buying a macro lens
I have the non IS version & it's a cracking lens. I bought it used in mint condition. It's sharp as long as you get focusing right like all lenses. With macro, however, A/F is seldom used by many. I was considering the L myself, but a lot of my macro is done on a tripod, & so IS is of little use. In fact I read reviews that say, although the IS on the L version is worth 4 stops, when doing 1:1 macro, it's only 1 stop or 2 at the most. It's a matter of choice as to whether you think it's worth the extra.

Flatiron aids city in active shooter exercise
April 26, 2012
By Nathan Pfau, Army Flier Staff Writer
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (April 26, 2012) -- Lakota helicopters landed at Enterprise High School to transport wounded victims during an active shooter mass casualty exercise and Fort Rucker's Flatiron was on the scene to aid the city of Enterprise April 21.
"What we've done is organized a training exercise that incorporates the entire infrastructure system for emergency response for the city of Enterprise," said Lennis Darby, administrative captain for Enterprise Police Department.
The scenario began as police received a call saying that two heavily armed gunmen were seen entering the high school, at which point they were to respond and put the entire emergency response system into play, said the captain.
"Fort Rucker's Flatiron was tasked to support evacuations for the most critically injured from the scene to a local hospital," said Maj. Christian Cook, commander for U.S. Army Air Ambulance Detachment Flatiron.
"In today's environment, we get so many reports of similar incidents like this one and it's just a matter of time before you have something that reaches every corner of our society," said Darby. "You've got to have all your bases covered. We need to go ahead and prepare for everything that could possibly happen and that's what we're trying to do here."
Darby explained that it's important to run a scenario like this with Flatiron so that the Soldiers can run the flight paths, learn the landing areas and "let us experience the time gaps between the call and response, and different flight times between different locations."
An important part of the exercise is to build relationships, according to Cook.
"Building relationships is always good," he said. "We don't want the first time a crisis happens to be the first time we try to work with someone we don't know."
"I don't want our city and our agency to be caught off guard by something, and I've always told people that you've got to be prepared for the possibilities, not the probabilities," said Darby. "With the cooperative agreements that Fort Rucker and Enterprise have … it's really important to understand how the other agencies work and how the response is actually going to take place so that we know if there are any steps in the system that are missing."
Flatiron's primary mission is for crash rescue, said the commander, but the unit still supports the local communities for real MEDEVAC calls.
"An exercise like this helps all parties develop an understanding of each other's capabilities and how to cooperate," he said, "and we confirm or improve the communication channels already in place."
Cook said that training for an exercise like this one is really no different than training for a military operation, explaining that the planning, synchronizing and execution are all key to integrating multiple agencies effectively.
"It's been a wonderful experience for me," said Darby, "Working with all the different agencies and the cooperative relationship we have is beyond anything that I would have ever expected. I'm absolutely thrilled at Fort Rucker's involvement and I haven't met a single person from Fort Rucker who is not absolutely thrilled to be a part of this exercise."
The performance and outcome of the exercise was an overall success, said Cook.
"Flatiron's pilots, flight medics and firefighters are very motivated and always get going quickly when a MEDEVAC call comes in," he said. "Everything seemed to go very smoothly and Flatiron's operations staff and flight crews did great."
Cook said that the efforts put forth for the exercise were by no means a singular effort and that all the agencies involved did their part to make the exercise a success.
"Flatiron's part was just a small augmentation to a larger, more complex exercise," he said. "The civilian agencies took this exercise seriously and really worked hard during the execution and will perform better … and the community is better prepared as a result."

A shoulder separation is a slow healing injury and if, as it states, it is a grade 5 separation that is pretty serious given there are only 6 grades of shoulder separation with 6 being the worst. It would be hard to see him back in any kind of fighting form this season.

Spouses earn wings at 3rd Aviation Spouse Day
February 9, 2012
By Nathan Pfau, Army Flier Staff Writer
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (Feb. 9, 2012) -- More than 60 Army spouses got a taste of the training that their husbands and wives go through while at Fort Rucker during the installation's third Aviation Spouse Day Feb 3.
The spouses had the opportunity to fly simulators at Warrior Hall, fire M-16s at the engagement skills trainer shooting simulator, complete obstacles at the Leader's Reaction Course and learn helicopter survival training at the Helicopter Overwater Survival Training facility, said Deborrah Cisneros, U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence Family Readiness Support Assistant.
The spouses gathered in the morning at the Family Readiness Group building where they were addressed by Maj. Gen. Anthony G. Crutchfield, U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Rucker commanding general, and his wife Kim; and given a safety briefing by Lt. Col. James E. Ward, commander of the 1st Battalion, 145th Aviation Regiment.
The spouses were split into four different groups and all had different starting points, according to Ward. Each group went through the dunker, which was a simulated experience in which the spouses had to extract themselves from a submerged aircraft.
"It's about a 15-or 20-meter swim underwater," said the lieutenant colonel, explaining how the spouses had to try to open a door underwater that they couldn't see while wearing gear -- a helmet and a flight suit.
"I thought it would be a lot of fun going through the dunker to see what it was like to go through the things that the guys go through and come home tired from," said Courtney Purdy, Army spouse and ASD participant. "It was a lot of fun to be in there and put on the flight suit because it's not something you get to see them do -- it wasn't too scary though."
The spouses also got the opportunity to go on the Leaders Reaction Course, which is a team-building event where the spouses are given some tools that the team needs to use to get through an obstacle put before them, according to Ward. The objective is for them to work as a team.
"[The spouses] were presented with a challenge and it was up to them to perform some team planning and leadership to get through it," he said.
There were also two types of simulators that the spouses were able to experience: the EST shooting simulators in which spouses were able to fire M-16s and other weapons, and the flight simulators in which they were able to fly simulated aircraft such as UH-60s and CH-47s.
Holly Legaspi, Army spouse and ASD participant, explained how flying in the simulator was harder than it looked.
"There are about 50 different things you're trying to concentrate on all at once," she said. "It was good to try it out -- I didn't really know what I was doing, but it was fun."
The instructor pilots showed the spouses various scenarios that flight students have to endure from normal flying and night flying, to inclement weather flying and emergency procedures, according to Michael Prescott, L3 Communications electronic technician.
"We can put them through just about any scenario that they would have to encounter while flying," he said.
The activities continued throughout the entire day from 8 a.m. as late as 4 p.m., and also included lunch at the installation dining facility where the spouses were able to enjoy a meal where most Soldiers eat during days of training. At the end of the day, at a ceremony at the Army Aviation Museum, the spouses were presented with a certificate signed by Crutchfield and their own Aviation wings.
Crutchfield apologized to the spouses for not being able to attend the ceremony, but personally signed each certificate that was awarded.
"Don't think [Aviation Spouse Day] isn't important to [Kim and I], because it is," he said when addressing the spouses. "That's why we are here now, to tell [the spouses] how important it is to us. We just love [having the spouses participate] and we want to get the word out and continue to [host Aviation Spouse Day.]"
According to Crutchfield, this is the third time the installation has hosted the event, and is the brainchild of Cisneros, the Aviation Spouse Day director.
"When [Cisneros] came to me with this idea a year ago, we thought it was great," he said. "When I was a young officer, we did things like this with our spouses. I don't know when the Army got too busy to do this, but I think we need to do this. I think, in some small way, [spouses] should understand what your husbands and wives go through."
The objectives of the day were for the spouses to have fun, make new friendships and to not get hurt, said the general as he expressed the importance of the event.
"It's just great to see so many people participate," said Kim. "[The spouses] will form some great friendships and their group will become a team, and that's the objective too. There was an overwhelming response, so, I'm glad that we were able to increase [the participation limit]. Hopefully we can continue to have this many people participate."
Crutchfield hopes to expand the event and be able to accommodate all of the applicants that wish to participate.
"We're having to turn people away because it's limited by the number of people we can take at time," he said. "I don't want to turn anybody away; either we'll do [Aviation Spouse Day] more frequently or we will expand the groups -- I want to continue doing this."

"Through the editing process, the sequence became extraneous," explains Singer. "It's a really good sequence and it will probably end up on the DVD so people can see it. But like many things in the editing process, it was an embarrassment of riches and it was just one of the things that had to go. Unfortunately, it was the one and only sequence Anna Paquin was in, the Rogue character was in. Even though she's in the materials and part of the process of making the film, she won't appear in it."

Howard Extends Behind-the-Scenes
Photo Exhibit of Obama's First Term
Photographs by Pete Souza, Chief Official White House Photographer
WASHINGTON (February 25, 2013) – The Moorland-Spingarn Research Center, Howard University's premier library documenting the global Black experience has announced an extension to May 28 of "Barack Obama: The First Term, 2009-2012," an exhibition of some 60 photographs documenting Barack Obama's first four years as President of the United States.
Moorland-Spingarn was founded 99 years ago as a small collection of books, manuscripts and other documents. It has developed into the premier academic research library in the field of African American as well as the history and culture of the African Diaspora.
The photographs in the exhibition have been selected from the extensive photographic archive of President Obama's Official White House Photographer, Pete Souza. Souza and his staff have been shooting upwards of 10,000 photos a week documenting Barack Obama's daily activities.
The works selected for this exhibit captures major moments of President Obama's first term while revealing the day-to-day workings of the Office of the President. They also explore the human dimensions of Obama's life as President for himself and for his family. The collective portrait that emerges from these images is that of a concerned and committed public servant striving to right the American ship of state in a period of profound national crisis.
Pete Souza, the Official White House Photographer, is a photojournalist who was formerly a photographer for the Chicago Tribune (Washington Bureau 1998-2007). He also served as President Ronald Reagan's Official White House Photographer (1983-1989). Publications include: Images of Greatness: An Intimate Look at the Presidency of Ronald Reagan (2004) and The Rise of Barack Obama (2009).
The captions on the photographs in the exhibition are Souza's personal commentaries on the images.
The exhibit will run through Friday, May 28. The hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. There is no charge for admission to the exhibit. For more information, call (202) 806-7239.

Comments On Sep 19, 2014:I exchanged my Adrenalines for these because the small work boot style of them did not look warm, but now I kind of wish I would've kept them. Nothing against the Arctic, but WOW, are they warm! Warmest boots I've ever had by far without question! I ordered 1 size larger and should've went up 2 sizes though, as they run small. The Adrenalines you need to go up only 1 size, this during the 2013/14 season, so maybe Klim changed their sizing for this year? After one season, there are NO signs of wear. Excellent boot, but if your feet don't give you much of a problem, maybe check out the Adrenalines. Definately would buy Klim boots again!

Snooki (Dec 17th, 2010)
Snooki hides her signature poof with a festive Santa hat, but still shows off her long, curly locks.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Apply a small dollop of mousse towel-dried hair. Blow dry two-inch sections using a vent brush to lift slightly at the root for volume.
Step 2: Spritz the lower part of a one-inch section with styling spray. Grab the ends and wrap the section around a medium curling rod (a curling iron without the clamp). Hold for a few seconds to set the curl, release and repeat all over in a variety of curl directions.
Step 3: Run your fingers through your hair to break up the sections and then finger-style into place.

Functional Flood Lights
Use this field to narrow by the most that you would like to pay for your new fixture.
Small Wall Lights:
Small outdoor wall lights will generally only consist of a single bulb and are usually smaller than 12" in width.
Medium Wall Lights:
Medium / Mid-Sized wall lights generally have 2 or more lights and can be up to 24" in width and height.
Large Wall Lights:
Large outdoor wall lights usually use 3 or more bulbs and can come in sizes up to 36" (3 feet) in height.
Single Flood Lights:
A single flood light fixture usually comes with a tapered shade. Some fixtures will include motion sensors for added security.
Double Flood Lights:
A single flood light fixture usually comes with a double tapered shade. Some fixtures will include motion sensors for added security.
Rectangular Security Lights:
Rectangular security lights usually use high pressure bulbs to burn extremely bright. These fixtures are great to couple with motion sensors for added security in your driveway, backyard or anywhere else.
Narrowing by Finish
Because there are so many unique finishes offered by the manufacturers we carry, we have grouped them into common tones to more easily allow you to find the finish you're looking for.
Whether you have a favorite lighting brand or are trying to match lighting that you currently own, you can use this field to narrow your selection down to your preferred outdoor lighting manufacturer.
Ambient Lighting
Ambient Light is designed to splay light in all directions and is usually good for close to ceiling applications.
Down Lighting
Down Lighting directs light downwards by using open or glass bottom shades to minimize the amount of light that is projected upwards towards the ceiling.
Up / Down Lighting
Up / Down Lighting or convertible fixtures are designed to be mounted either way. Although some fixtures may only be pictured in one direction, these fixtures will have specialized shade mounting hardware to eliminate the possibility of the shade detaching from the fixture as well as compensate for heat displament when mounted downward.
Up Lighting
Up Lighting is a quite common form of outdoor wall lighting and although the light is being directed upwards will still provide ample illumination for many applications.
Selecting the Number of Bulbs
Use this section to select the number of bulbs that you prefer your fixture to have. Once you select a given range you will be able to narrow it down further to a specific number of bulbs.
For example, if you are shopping for a 2 light fixture you will want to select "0-3 Lights", and then "2 Bulbs" in the "Bulb Count" section on the next screen.

An unidentified mother is facing a lot of heat after posting a photo of her 5-year-old son, Sam, wearing pink animal print shoes on his first day of preschool.
According to reports, the mother explained the shoes were for girls but the boy decided he wanted to wear the shoes anyway, telling her, "ninjas can wear pink shoes too."
However, in what was meant to be a momentous moment for a young child (his first day of school) people have began using blogs to verbally attack the mom for letting him wear the shoes.
People are arguing that the pink shoes will turn the young boy gay or will lead to bullying. While others, are on the side of the mom arguing that he is only a kid and it is not a big deal.

How to Fit a Central Heating Radiator
Central heating for most is an essential way to keep the home warm and cozy. Replacing old radiators is not a difficult job providing you prepare and tackle the job in a logical way.
In this guide we provide step-by-step instructions that will help you install new central heating radiators properly without causing a mess or flooding your rooms.
Step 1
The first thing you need to do is to turn off the central heating system. Locate the switch in the heating cupboard, which is where your hot water cylinder will be fitted and turn it off.
Now turn off the stop cocks for the hot and cold water. Finally you need to drain the system. For this you'll need to locate the drain-off point and attach a hose that is long enough to be trailed outside.
NOTE: Draining the system is necessary if you are going to be changing more than one radiator as this will prevent any of your floors being flooded. However, if you are changing a single radiator then repeat the first part, that is turn off the water and heating system and then close the valves on either end of the radiator.
There are TWO values, the first feeds hot water into the system while the other controls the heat by restricting the amount of hot water that fills the radiator.
IMPORTANT – before you do anything, make sure the heating is turned off and that the system is COLD. This job is better done in the summer time as you'll be without heating until you have replaced the number of radiators you want.
Step 2
Once you have completed Step 1 you need to bleed each of the radiators. You should have a radiator key, that fits the square nut that is located at the top end of the radiator.
If you do not have this key then you can buy one from any DIY Store. Place the key on the nut and turn anti-clockwise. You will now hear air rushing out of the system and this is what you want.
Make sure you have a cloth handy because as the water in the radiator pushes the air completely out then water will start to come out. Once water comes out lock the nut by turning it in a clockwise direction. You need to repeat this for every radiator.
Step 3
Before removing the radiator check that both end valves are turned to the off position. Once you have done this you can unscrew the nuts, both ends, that connect the in and out flow pipes to the radiator. Have a small basin handy as a small amount of water may still be present at the ends of the pipes.
WARNING - If you did not drain the system then remember that the radiator is still FULL of water and the chances are this wall is going to be black and will stink, so you will need a basin to catch the water until you can place your hand over the ends to block it.
You can, if you like, attach a hose pipe and drain off the water or alternatively get a friend to help you – you both need to cover the ends so that the water does not flood the floor. While holding the ends, lift the radiator off the wall brackets and then tip the radiator at an angle over a very large bucket and drain it.
Remember a radiator full of water is very heavy and may require more than one large bucket – it is sometimes far more practical, even if you are changing just one radiator, to drain the entire system – this will also put fresh clean water into the system.
Step 4
Take your new radiator and take the two end valve and wrap some PTFE tape (also known as Plumbers Tape) around the screw fittings.
Now insert these fittings into the radiator and tighten the nuts fully. Now take the Bleed Nipple and fit this to the radiator at the opposite end. This will generally not require PTFE tape as it comes with a rubber seal. You have now assembled the fittings on the radiator.
Step 5
It is most unlikely that your new radiator will fit onto the old brackets that are on the wall, so you'll need to remove these and fit new ones. Start by removing the old brackets by unscrewing them with a screwdriver.
Once they are off the wall you can repair the holes with some filler and then sand down to make smooth. To fit the new brackets you need to measure the length of the window sill and the length of radiators – note most radiators are fitted to the window wall, below the window.
The reason for this is so that the radiators in your home do not take up valuable wall space. What you want to achieve here to to center the radiator to the window so that it better blends in and doesn't look odd or uneven.
Take a pencil and mark the center point, on the wall, of the window. Now mark the center point of the radiator with your pencil. You can now line up these points so that the radiators sit central to the window with the same amount of over-hang or under-hang on the window.
Step 6
Now that you know where your radiator is to be hung you need to measure out the position of the wall brackets and fit these.
From the center mark you made on the radiator, measure outwards to each of the center points on the radiator bracket hinges.
Do this for both ends. Now from the center of bracket hinges measure upwards to the top of radiator. Repeat this to find the points from the bottom of the radiator.
From the center point on the wall mark a straight line down, using a spirit level to ensure it is vertically level. From this center line you can now transfer the measurement of the bracket hinges to the wall.
Now you will have the position of the wall brackets to be fitted. Fit these by placing the brackets in their marked positions, and then mark all the screw holes.
Take a drill and attach the correct size drill bit for the raw plugs or anchor screws and screw fixings and drill each hole to the depth of the raw plug.
You can get the right depth of the raw plug by placing it on the drill bit and then wrap masking tape around the top. When you drill you can stop drilling upon reaching the masking tape.
Take each of the raw plugs and tap them home and flush to the wall using a hammer. Now place your brackets in position and screw them to the wall.
Step 7
Take your new radiator and hang it on the wall brackets and then place a spirit level across the top of the radiator to ensure that it is level.
Now connect the valves at either end of of the radiators. Remember to use PTFE tape on the threads of the nuts to prevent any leaking.
Turn on the water supply and heating system again and open the bleed valve at the top and open ONLY the FLOW VALVE… This is the one that turns the heating on and off to the radiator.
Your radiator will now start filling with water and as it does so it will push the air out of the bleed valve at the top. Keep an eye on this and once water starts to trickle out you can shut the bleed valve. At the other bottom end, turn the 'RETURN VALVE' open which will allow water to circulate throughout the entire system.

This post would be really very helpful for me for the installation of the central heating radiator in my home. Thanks for providing this great information…

WASHINGTON – Color-coded tickets, a first-ever inaugural mobile app and GPS technology will help direct the crowds at next week's inaugural ceremony.
"When you wake up Monday morning and you have a ticket, you just bring your smart phone with you, click on to your ticket color and you'll get detailed instructions about how to get exactly to your seat," says Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies.
Senators and representatives are distributing the 250,000 tickets to the swearing- in ceremony on the west front of the Capitol.
The free tickets are a hot commodity and planners are hoping to discourage scalping.
"There are loads of people who want them," Schumer says. "Congressional offices were bombarded with hundreds of thousands of requests for tickets."
Schumer is asking online vendors including Craig's List and ebay not to sell inaugural tickets. He says StubHub has promised not to sell them.
"Having a ticket to the inauguration is a privilege, it's not something that should be used to make a profit," he says.
The color-coded tickets also carry helpful information to make sure guests know exactly where they're going. For example, "each ticket shows which Metro station you should use," Schumer says.
Purple learning curve
Inaugural planners are eager to avoid snafus like one four years ago that left purple ticket holders stuck in the Third Street Tunnel, missing the entire ceremony.
To prevent a similar problem this year, the committee is offering its first-ever mobile app with GPS for smart phones. Users can click on the color of their ticket and, with GPS enabled on their phone, the app will provide the best route to the correct entry gate.
"We hope that this app will make every individual's experience a little easier and should keep things moving," Schumer says.
At the same time, the Presidential Inaugural Committee, which is in charge of the parade, balls and other events has also unveiled its first-ever mobile app. The app provides a full schedule of events and helps users find their way to official events.
Thousands of people were delayed at President Obama's first swearing-in four years ago when they lined up at the wrong gate. Schumer says hundreds of volunteers will fan out through the crowds next week, checking tickets, to ensure that people don't waste time in the wrong line.
"We're learning from our mistakes," Schumer says.
That includes the unfortunate purple ticket holders who were stranded in the Third Street Tunnel.
This year, the Third Street Tunnel will be closed. And, as if to erase the memory of that glitch, the purple ticket color has been eliminated.
"There are no purple tickets," Schumer says.
Tickets for next week's swearing-in are colored gold, green, orange, yellow and red.

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), writing in the scientific journal called Circulation, found a 20 percent reduction in ambulance calls to casinos following the implementation of Colorado's smokefree law.
The study, funded by the National Cancer Institute, was hailed by supporters of smoke-free environments.
"The UCSF study confirms the life-saving benefits of smokefree worksites including casinos," said Cynthia Hallett, Executive Director of Americans for Nonsmokers Rights (ANR). "This study is a wake-up call to all policy makers – whether state, local or tribal – to adopt smokefree protections for their workers and customers in casinos."
UCSF Professor of Medicine, Stanton Glantz, PhD, authored the study called "Changes in Ambulance Calls After Implementation of a Smoke-Free Law and Its Extension to Casinos." Glantz tracked ambulance calls originating from the gambling towns of Black Hawk and Central City, the only gambling district in Colorado, which covers a roughly 3-square-mile area.
"The numbers paint a clear and troubling picture," said Glantz, lead author and the author of numerous studies on the health impacts of exposure to tobacco smoke. "Smokefree casinos reduce the acute effects of secondhand smoke exposure while in the casinos. Our results indicate that exempting casinos from smokefree laws is sending people to the hospital and increasing costs to the state."
"I knew that Colorado needed to protect all of its workers, including those in casinos, so I fought hard to add casinos to Colorado's Smokefree Workplace law," said Ken Gordon, the former Colorado state senator, who authored the original Colorado statewide smokefree law. The law went into effect July 1, 2006, but casinos were exempted until January 1, 2008.
Key Points in the Colorado Ambulance Study, according to a press release by the non-profit group Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights:
· When Colorado's law first passed making all workplaces and public places except casinos smokefree, ambulance calls originating from everywhere but casinos dropped 20 percent; but calls from casinos did not change.
· Two years later, when the Colorado law was extended to include casinos, ambulance calls originating from casinos dropped by 20% immediately following implementation.
· The report states that, "exempting casinos from smokefree laws means that more people will suffer medical emergencies as a result."

This image shows the Western India Turf Club Grandstand in Bombay now known as Mumbai. The people standing at the first floor level are at the entrance to the machine rooms one of which is shown in the previous image in the photo gallery. On the ground floor the queueing rails and selling windows are visible which contain the Ticket Issuing Machines (Issuers) the sales of which the machine room equipment records. This Julius Tote installation was performed in 1925. Prior to Automatic Totalisators inventing the world's first odds calculator in 1927, the runner totals were displayed as seen on the side of this building in the numbered windows. The pool grand totals are also displayed in windows above the Win Pool and Place Pool runner totals. The writing on the rear of this photo reads: Back view of Grandstand Showing Machine front.

Sophie LaCroix looked up from the library table into the disdainful face of B.J. Schneider. Disdainful was a word Sophie's best friend, Fiona, had taught her, and this word definitely worked when B.J. or one of the other Corn Pops narrowed her eyes into slits, curled her lip, and acted as if Sophie were barely worth the breath it was taking to say something heinous to her.
"As a matter of fact, yes," that same Fiona said as she tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear. It popped back out and draped over one gray eye. "We thought we'd dish up some sautéed roaches on a bed of seaweed with a nice snake venom sauce."
Sophie dragged a piece of her own hair under her nose like a mustache.
"It is so disgusting when you do that," said another Corn Pop, Anne-Stuartwith the usual juicy sniff up her nostrils.
Not as disgusting as you and your sinus problems, Sophie thought. But she didn't say it. All of the Corn Flakes had taken a vow not to be hateful to the Corn Pops ever, no matter how heinous THEY were to the Flakes.
B.J. put her hands on her slightly pudgy hips. "I KNOW you aren't really going to serve something that nasty for your culture project," she said.
Fiona pulled her bow of a mouth into a sly smile. "Then why did you ask?"
B.J. and Anne-Stuart rolled their eyes with the precision of synchronized swimmers.
"What are y'all doing for your presentation?" Sophie said, adjusting her glasses on her nose.
"We AND Julia and Willoughbywe're doing a folk dance," Anne-Stuart said. "And we're going to make the whole class participate."
"You're going to 'make' us?" Fiona said.
Sophie cleared her throat. Sometimes Fiona had a little trouble keeping the vow. It was hard with the Corn Pops acting like they ran Great Marsh Elementary, especially when school stretched into Saturdays at the town library.
"Then everybody can get used to dancing with each other," Anne-Stuart said. She sniffled. "That way, SOME people won't feel so lame at the graduation dance."
"What graduation dance?" Sophie and Fiona said together. Sophie's voice squeaked higher than Fiona's, which brought a heavy-eyebrowed look from the librarian.
"What dance?" Fiona said again.
B.J. and Anne-Stuart both sat down at the table with Sophie and Fionaas if they'd been invitedand B.J. shoved aside the Food from Around the World book they'd been looking at while Anne-Stuart leaned in her long, lean frame. Sophie was sure she could see moisture glistening on Anne-Stuart's nose hairs.
"The dance the school is having at the end of the year for our sixth-grade graduation," she said.
"Duh," B.J. put in.
"Who decided that?" Fiona said.
"Just the entire class. Back in September." B.J. gave her buttery-blonde bob a toss. "You were probably off in one of those weird things y'all domaking up stories"
"No," Fiona said. "I wasn't even HERE yet in September. I moved here in October."
"I know YOU were here," Anne-Stuart said, pointing at Sophie.
Sophie shrugged. She knew she had probably daydreamed her way through the entire voting process. That was back before she'd gotten her video camera, and before she and the Corn Flakes had started making films out of their daydreams instead of getting in trouble for having them in school and missing important things like voting for a stupid dance.
"What were the other choices?" Fiona said.
"Who cares?" B.J. said. "We're having a dance, and everybody's going to wear, like, dress-up clothes, and"
"So if you didn't even know about the dance," Anne-Stuart said, "then you obviously don't have your dates yet."
"Dates?" Sophie said.
"You mean, as in boys?" Fiona said.
Anne-Stuart snorted and covered her mouth. B.J. waved at the librarian, whose eyebrows were now up in her hairline.
"You know," Anne-Stuart whispered. "Boys. The ones with the cute legs."
"Cute LEGS?" Sophie's voice squeaked out of her own nostrils, and she was sure Anne-Stuart was going to drip right out of her chair. B.J. kept smiling at the librarian.
"People are actually coming to the dance with DATES?" Fiona said.
"You meet your date at the dance, and he doesn't dance with anybody else but you the whole night." Anne-Stuart put her hand on Fiona's and wrinkled her forehead. "You don't HAVE to. I mean, if you can't get a boy to be with you, then you can't."
"I don't WANT a boy to be with me, thank you very much," Fiona said. She snatched back her hand.
Sophie was doing the mustache thing with her hair again. What boy in their class would she even want to get within three feet of? One of the Fruit LoopsTod or Eddie or Colton? The thought made her feel like she had the stomach flu coming on. She shrank her already tiny form down into the chair.
Tod Ravelli had a pointy face like a Dr. Seuss character and acted like he was all big, even though he was one of the shrimpiest boys in the class. Acting big included trying to make Sophie feel like a worm.
Colton Messik wasn't any better. He seemed to think he was cute the way he could make the Corn Pops squeal when he told a joke. Sophie and the rest of the Flakes thought the only thing funny about him was the way his ears stuck out.
And Eddie Wornom was the worst. He acted like Mr. Football, but mostly he was what Sophie's mom called "fluffy" around the tummy, and he was louder than the other two put together, especially when he was calling their friend Maggie "Maggot" or some other lovely thing.
"I doubt any boy would ask you anyway," B.J was saying to Fiona. "Not unless it was one of the computer geeks. Vincent or one of the boy-twins orI know! Jimmy Wythehe's like the KING of the computer geeks. You could go with him."
Fiona let her head fall to the side, closed her eyes, and pretended to snore. Sophie watched the librarian march toward them. B.J. lowered her voice. "But you'd better hurry up because there are more girls than boys in our class. You COULD get left out."
"We have to go," Anne-Stuart said. She grabbed B.J.'s hand, pulling her from the chair, and cocked her head at Mrs. Eyebrows. Silky-blonde tresses spilled along the side of Anne-Stuart's face.
"We tried to get them to be quiet, ma'am," she said. She and B.J. trailed off.
"Come on," Fiona said. "Let's wait for Kitty and those guys outside."
Sophie left Food from Around the World on the table and followed Fiona past the glowering Mrs. Eyebrows and on outsidewhere a corridor of trees sheltered the library and Poquoson, Virginia's City Hall from the road. Big, fluffy hydrangea bushes provided a getaway spot for the two of them. Sophie sat down on the curb and wriggled herself under a snowball cluster of blue flowers with Fiona perched next to her.
"Just when I think they couldn't GET any more scornful, they reveal yet another layer of contempt" Fiona's eyes narrowed, Corn Pop style. "They're evil."
Sophie nodded. "And Julia wasn't even with them. Or Willoughby."
"Julia always lets them do the dirty work, being the queen and all. And Willoughbyyou can hardly tell if she's even a Corn Pop anymore. Have you noticed that sometimes she's with them and sometimes she's not?"
"I invited her to hang out with us that one time"
"And the Pops snatched her right back. Even if THEY don't want to be her friends, they don't want US to be her friends. I told youthey're evil."
Sophie squirmed. "What about this dance thing?"
"It's lame. I vote the Corn Flakes just don't even go. We have better things to do. HeyI have an idea." Fiona nodded toward Sophie's backpack. "Get your camera out. Let's hide in this bush and film Kitty and Darbie and Maggie when they get here."
Sophie felt a grin spreading across her face. "Let's pretend we're secret agents"
"Hired to do surveillance on"
"A new group of agents being gathered for a special mission"
"Quickhere comes Maggie's mom's car!"
As Senora LaQuita's big old Pontiac pulled into the parking lot, Sophie climbed into the hydrangea bush with Fiona, fished the camera out of her backpack, and became
Agent Shadow. With a practiced handand eyeAgent Shadow framed her fellow agent in the lens. Wide-set brown eyes, dark chin-length hair, and a classic jaw line revealed her Latino heritage. An experienced agent knew these things. The dark-haired agent didn't say goodbye as she drew her boxy-square frame from the car, but, then, according to classified information, this was not a smiley spy. Agent-from-Cuba was known as the most serious of this collection of agents from all over the world.
Yeahan international group. That was good, Sophie decided.
As Maggie plodded up the library walk with her leather backpack, Sophie panned the camera, but Fiona gave her a poke and pointed back to the parking lot. A van was pulling up.
"There's Kitty," Sophie whispered to Fiona.
Agent Shadow focused the camera and watched the girl hop down from the van, her black ponytail bouncing. Agent Shadow continued to film Agent Ponytail as she stood on tiptoe to talk through the window to the driver. Agent Shadow was sure Ponytail was getting ALL the instructions about when to be back at headquartersfor the fourth time at least. This agent's documents had revealed that she could be scatterbrained at times. Just as Ponytail turned, Agent Shadow got a good shot of her profilean upturned nose that looked like it had been chiseled out of china. Agent Ponytail was very un-agent-like. That must be part of her cover.
"Hey, Mags!" Kitty called up the walk.
Agent Shadow jumped and collided with Agent Big Words, nearly tumbling the two of them from their hiding place
"Better let me," Fiona said. She picked up the camera from where it teetered on a hydrangea branch.
Agent Shadow grew more intent as she crept deeper under cover. She had been in the field for forty-eight straight hours without sleep. Perhaps it was time to let Agent Big Words take over the filming.
She watched, her mind razor-sharp, as Agent Ponytail hugged the neck of Agent-from-Cuba. Agent Ponytail appeared to be the slobbery type. Agent-from-Cuba obviously was not.
"Pssthere comes Darbie!" Fiona hissed.
Agent Shadow swiveled her gaze to the figure getting out of a BMW. She was the newest agent to be recruited into this gathering. Recently arriving from Northern Ireland, she would have much to add to the mission internationally speaking, especially when Agent Shadow determined just what the mission waswhich would come later. It always came later.
Refreshed from her short break from the camera, Agent Shadow snatched it back from Agent Big Words and zoomed in on the subject striding up the walk. She was swinging her arms and her reddish hair and taking in everything with flashing black eyes.
"Agent Irish will be helpful in giving each of our agents new names and identities," Agent Shadow told herself. "Once we figure out what dangerous, risky, and utterly vital mission we'll be on. But first I must see just how observant she is. Can we remain hiddenor is she just as sharp as her file says she is?"
Even though Agent Shadow burrowed herself deeper into the treacherous tangle of brush, she could see Agent Irish growing bigger in her lensand biggerand bigger
"Don't be thinking you're sly, you two," Darbie said, her nose pressed against the camera lens. "You're just a bit obvious."
"But we got you on film!" Fiona said. She crawled from behind the bush, shaking tiny blue blossoms from her hair. Sophie wriggled out after her.
"Our next Corn Flakes production should be a spy film, I think," Sophie said.
"My mom could make us trench coats," Maggie said.
Fiona bunched up her lips. "That's better than dance dresses."
"DANCE dresses?" Kitty's clear blue eyes were lighting up like tiny flames. "That's rightthe sixth-grade dance!"
"You knew about it?" Fiona said.
"Of course she did. So did I." Maggie shrugged. "They do it every year."
Darbie gave a grunt. "You won't be seeing me at a dance. Those Corn Pops already made me feel like an eejit about my dancing when I first came here." Eejit was idiot in Darbie's Northern Irish accent. It was one of her favorite words. "I'd rather be making a spy flick," she said.
"Exactly," Fiona said.
Sophie looked at Kitty, who was poking at a weed growing up through a walkway crack with the toe of her pink flip-flop.
"You WANT to go to the dance, Kitty?" Sophie said.
"Kind of," Kitty said. "It would be fun to be all, like, dressed up. We don't HAVE to dance." Kitty's voice was starting to spiral up into a whine. Whining was one of the things she did best.
"You just want to get dressed up and go stand around?" Fiona said.
"Maybe we could just dance with each another"
"And pretend we're agents in disguise, keeping the Corn Pop organization in our sights," Sophie said.
"That definitely has possibilities," Fiona said, rubbing her chin. "What if we could foil their plans with their 'dates'?"
"Define 'foil'" Darbie said.
"I think that means mess them up," Sophie said.
Darbie giggled. "You mean, like mix them up so they end up dancing with each other's boyfriends?" she said.
"The only thing is," Sophie said, "we can't be hateful to the Pops just because they're hateful to us. Corn Flake code."
"I knowbummer," Fiona said. She sighed. "But you're right. We'll have to think of some other mission."
"Whatever it is, we can't let them see us filming them," Darbie put in.
"WE don't have to dance with any boys though, do we?" Maggie's voice was thudding even harder than usual.
"Absolutely not," Darbie said. "We'll have nothing to do with those blaggards."
Blaggards, Sophie thought, repeating the word blackguards in her mind the way Darbie had pronounced it. With her Irish accent, Darbie could make anything sound exciting and exotic and worth doing.
"We might look a little suspicious not dancing with ANY boys," Kitty said. "It's not like ALL of them are blackguards."
"The Fruit Loops definitely are," Fiona said with a sniff. She dropped down on the grass and the rest of the Corn Flakes joined her.
Darbie nodded slowly. "But those boys that are always raving on about computersthey aren't THAT bad."
"You mean like Nathan and Vincent and Jimmy and the twins?" Sophie said.
"Ross and Ian," Kitty said.
Sophie peered at Kitty through her glasses. Kitty was looking suspiciously dreamy, and Sophie had a feeling it wasn't about being a secret agent.
"I can't keep any of them straight," Darbie said.
"Nathan's way skinny and he got first place in the science fair, remember?" Kitty said.
"No," Fiona said. "Why do you remember?"
Kitty's cheeks got pink. "His dad's in my dad's squadron. I see him at picnics and stuff."
"Carry on," Darbie said, pointing at Kitty with a piece of grass.
"Like I said, Ross and Ian are the twins"
"Round faces," Maggie said.
"Not Eddie Wornom-round, though," Sophie said.
"Noeew," Kitty said. "What else, Darbie?" Her eyes were shining, and Sophie could tell she was enjoying this role.
This might come in handy when we make our secret agent movie, Sophie thought. She was already thinking of plot twists that could make use of Agent Ponytail's powers of observation.
"Vincentwhich one is he?"
"Curly hair, braces," Fiona said.
"And he has kind of a deep voice," Kitty cut inbefore Fiona could take her job away from her, Sophie thought. "Only it goes high sometimes."
"I know exactly who he is," Darbie said. "He isn't as much of an eejit as a lot of them."
"You left out Jimmy Wythe," Maggie said matter-of-factly.
Kitty shrugged. "I don't know that much about him. He's quiet." She gave a soft giggle. "That kind of makes him mysterious."
"Or a geek," Fiona said.
"Okay," Sophie said. "So when we come up with a mission, if we have to dance with any boys it'll be just those not-mean ones. Is everybody in?"
Fiona stuck out her pinky finger, and Kitty latched onto it. Maggie hooked onto Kitty's, and Sophie crooked her pinky around Maggie's. Only Darbie was left.
"Are we promising there will be no dates for us though?" she said.
"Not a chance," Fiona said.
Darbie gave a serious nod, and then she curved one pinky around Sophie's and the other around Fiona's.
"It's a Corn Flakes pact then," Fiona said. "No one breaks it."
"We better get to work on our culture project now," Maggie said.
Kitty giggled and hiked herself up onto Maggie's back, right on top of her backpack. "Can't we talk about our dresses first?" she said.
"Costumes," Sophie said. "For the film."
As the Corn Flakes meandered toward the library door, Sophie held back. She had a feeling this was going to be the Corn Flakes' most important movie yetand maybe even Agent Shadow's most important mission. It was going to take some serious dreaming to get it just right.

Sorry this page got kind of abandoned in amongst computer upgrades and work. I knew things would slow down in the coming year but I had no idea that hit a complete stop due to how overloaded I've been with things going on but I am doing my best to finally get back in to doing art just for fun rather than work but I have to admit my main passion now is writing.
I've been writing articles for a new website me and a friend created in order to review, and generally just talk about video games. I'll say now that the reason I'm really here is not to announce a full blown churning out of Art like I used to but more to ask the people who used to visit here for my artwork to maybe consider reading some of the things that I rant and rave about over on my new website www.gamefreeze.co.uk .
If you decide to give me writing a shot then thanks a lot for checking it out, I hope you enjoyed reading it atleast half as much as we enjoy writing it. If you didn't then all's fair I'm not gonna hunt you down
Thanks again for reading this blog post and hopefully I'll have some artwork up soon.

sean of Sacramento, CA - February, 10 2014:
Initially these seem well built till you start shooting them, first thing to fail is the dovetail clasp that holds back the ram rod to the bottom of the barrel, I've had two of these revolvers and both had identical issue's, after shooting less than 24-30 balls, this part fails due to poor metal quality, next problem is cylinder to frame is too far from hammer, often percussion caps can't be stuck to detonate charge, with all the hardware tightened cylinder also seems to have a more than normal gap from breech of barrel I won't be buying any more piettas ever again, sportsman customer service has been helpful and either exchanged or replaced.Joseph of Pecos, NM - February, 14 2014:
This is my 3rd pistol from Pietta good finish and fit never had any problems and will buy another one from them.they shoot just like the originals high.People complain that the 1860 Army has a navy scene on the cylinder well the original has the same navy scene on it. This was S.Colts trade mark.I have the 1851,1858 now the 1860 all 44s.no complaints.Adam of Ammon, ID - March, 10 2015:
This weapon performs very smoothly. There is almost no pick to the revolver and loading (while it does take time) is pretty easy to master. With that being said, Pietta has a well documented problem with making the wedges far too tight in the barrel. It is nigh impossible to get pulled out, even with all the suggestions of leather mallets and brass punches. That make it impossible to clean besides a very basic spot cleaning with the wire rods and brushes, so I cannot give this weapon a 5. Was it easier to dislodge (which I haven't been able to over a three day period) I would give it a 5.
