Gives up too easily
By Sidicas
from Kansas City, MO
About Me Homeowner
The Looj gives up too easily! 99% of the time it will think that it is hopelessly stuck when it is not. When it thinks it is stuck, it goes into "red mode" where it will not respond to the remote control at all! You cannot tell it to move and you cannot tell it to clean. You have to go and fetch it yourself and hit the power button on the side of the Looj unit make it reset.Ultimately you end up going into full manual mode where you basically double-click the forward button and hold it down until the remote control blinks yellow. When it blinks yellow it means that the Looj has run into more debris than it can handle. Let go and wait a couple seconds. Then put it in reverse for a few seconds. If you don't get any yellow then switch back to forward and repeat.If you get a yellow blink on the remote control, it's very important to stop sending commands to the robot. Otherwise you could risk it going into "red mode" and then you'll have to go and fetch it. Pressing the "clean" button is a sure way to get your Looj to go into "red mode" so I never use it and I drive the Looj manually from the remote. Which means sitting there baby-sitting the robot while it cleans. In my opinion, it's a serious software problem...A robot should never just go into a mode where it decides to completely ignore the remote control. Very annoying..Overall, it's still better than cleaning gutters manually. It just takes a bit of learning how to operate it well.

The guy who is complaining about the handle getting in the way should read the instructions! You are supposed to remove the handle before sending it down the gutter! LOL!

Did not work for us so we returned it.
By :-(
from Virginia
About Me Grandparent
The reason for the purchase was to eliminate having to climb up and down a ladder and move it all around the house. We had to stand on the ladder the entire time to watch the Looj was in the gutter in case it flipped over or flipped out of the gutter or just stopped after getting stuck and It had a difficult time cleaning leaves out of a wet gutter. I was able to clean six feet of gutter with the Looj in the time it took my husband to clean all the gutters around the house (over 300 feet) The Looj did not save us time or hard work with moving the ladder. The customer service was exceptional when I called to return the Looj. We have a Roomba 880 and LOVE it. Highly recommend the Roomba!

Loog 330 Worked as advertised
By Jimmy The Cleaner
from Haliburton, Ontario
About Me Midrange Shopper
I have a cottage that has about 350 lin feet of eavestrough. Have a lot of trees that drop leaves. Havent cleaned trough in a couple of years. The Loog 330 did what it was suppose to do. Was quite suprised of its ability. When the unit works hard, battery life is shorter than mentioned in specs... I would suggest a stronger battery. All in all the Loog 330 accomplished every thing i anticipated.

Took out the plants in the gutter
By Joe B
from Cincinnati, OH
About Me Budget Shopper
Used this on our rental properties. Found the gutter filled with two to three inches of dirt. Wet dirt. tied a clothes line to the end and took my time. It took it all out in about 15 minutes on a 40 foot gutter. Once or twice seen it suck down a 16" plant and I would stop it and drag it back and remove it. Then send it down to finish.

Worked great even on wet, clogged debris
By KMMaryland
from Potomac, MD
We have about 60 feet of gutter that is very hard to reach safely, and as a result one section was last done a year ago, and another so long ago that it had an 18 inch pine tree growing in it (at least 3 years)...so I was hoping this robot would let us clean these high gutters from a spot where you could reach up to put the robot in from a lower roof. The robot did a great job on the lower gutters that had been cleaned 5 months ago. Sometimes I had to override auto mode to back up and go over the area a second or third time, especially if it hit a pine cone. If the robot rides up over the pine cone, it can get stuck. Note it had rained the night before, so I was pleased it worked through wet debris.But, how to do the areas where we couldn't get up to free it? We tied a heavy twine/light rope to the back so that if it got in trouble, we could pull it back....just had to be sure to reel in the twine when backing up. And we had to put up a ladder so that I could watch the process and help it through the rough parts. Perfect!. It took about 40 minutes to clean the worst 25 feet, after we reached out a window and removed the pine tree volunteer...I often went on manual and backed it up, even had to use the rope to pull it back once...residual tree roots had wrapped around the auger and it stopped. But the job is done, even though the majority of debris in this section was wet compost/dirt from years of neglect. I will use it at least twice a year, probably three times...early spring, mid summer and late fall. I didn't get my 30-ft-ladder-free option that I was hoping for, but I did get clean gutters without going up and down and moving the ladder so many times. Thanks, IRobot. How about a remote camera to watch from below?

That looks fantastic! Kudos to the Royals organization for making the decision to take it back down and do it right. Kudos also to Zahner Architectural Metal for redoing it so quickly. You guys built the first crown and I can see why the Royals used your services for the second one.
I had my doubts, but it looks fantastic! Great job to all involved, can't wait to see it in person.
The crown looks amazing! Much better than I even anticipated…What are the plans for the back of the scoreboard, now that the crown is up? Will work begin on getting the blue backround with the white "KC" on it, or will it stay plain gray for the time being? I've been really curious to know, since nothing has been mentioned about it.

Michigan June Race Report - GEICO Ford Fusion
Posted by: lori on Jun 16, 2013
Tagged in: Untagged
Brooklyn, MI (June 16, 2013) – Coming off of good showings in Dover and Pocono, the Germain Racing team focused on continuing their strong run this weekend in the Irish Hills of Michigan. Casey Mears and team owner Bob Germain kicked off their race weekend by visiting Ford headquarters in Detroit on Thursday, where they participated in activities ranging from test driving cars to chatting with Ford associates. A day later, Mears turned his attention to NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice at the two-mile racetrack just down the road in Brooklyn.
Consistency marked the team's Friday when Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion sat 24th on the practice chart and later qualified the same for the Quicken Loans 400.
When the green flag got Sunday's race underway at Michigan International Speedway, Mears quickly jumped to 23rd. He would not have to wait long for the action to heat up, as lap seven found Bobby Labonte spinning immediately in front of the GEICO Ford, bringing out the event's first caution flag of the day. Mears avoided the spinning car by the narrowest of margins and was able to carry on with his afternoon. Aside from dodging spinning cars, Mears also began battling a loose condition that would plague him for much of the race.
A focused Germain Racing crew worked feverishly during each pit stop to make necessary adjustments to the GEICO Ford and as the race wore on their hard work became evident. When the caution flag was displayed on lap 76 for debris in turn one, Mears was able to lead two laps and collect critical bonus points. As the event began to wind down, he was solidly in the top twenty-five, even running for an extended time in the top 15. When the checkered flag closed 400-miles of racing, Mears and his GEICO team recorded a 21st place, lead lap finish. His effort accounts for Germain Racing's ninth top-25 finish of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
"The #13 GEICO Ford Fusion was really loose today, but the guys worked hard to get it better and it helped in the end," Mears said. "This is three solid weeks in a row, so we're beginning to see the consistency we're looking for. I enjoy the road courses, so we're excited to get the GEICO car on-track in Sonoma next week."
Mears and the Germain team will now head west to the Sonoma Valley for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' first road course race of the 2013 season.
Casey Mears and the #13 GEICO Ford Fusion will hit the track at Sonoma Raceway for the opening practice session on Friday, June 21st, at 3:00 PM (EDT). Qualifying will take place on Saturday, June 22nd, at 2:05 PM (EDT).
The Save Mart 350 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, June 23rd, and it will be televised live on TNT beginning at 2:00 PM (EDT). The Performance Racing Network (PRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Carol Burnett, who became famous for playing a variety of characters in sketch comedy routines on her namesake television show, has been named the winner of the nation's top humor prize.
The Kennedy Center in Washington announced Tuesday that Burnett will receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Oct. 20. A gala performance featuring top names in comedy will be broadcast nationally Oct. 30 on PBS.
In a written statement, the 80-year-old Burnett says she can't believe she is receiving the prize from the Kennedy Center. She says "it's almost impossible to be funnier than the people in Washington."
Burnett had her breakout on Broadway in "Once Upon a Mattress" in 1959. She is best known for her long-running variety show "The Carol Burnett Show." It ran from 1967 to 1978 on CBS.

So...to sum up...in the last 15 years the Bruins would overall get an A/A- on trades? I'll take that any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
I don't think anyone could make a case that the current regime has done a sub-par job on the trade front.
Drafting is a whole different ballgame.

After a long absence I happy to be on here again. Christian Pool Players Assoc. (CPPA) is still moving
forward we just need some skilled marketers and a better way to track members. ANYWAY...
Why do you love Pool, and what is your favorite game?
I'll start! I think the thing that attracted me to pool in 2001 was that everything is right out in the open.
I am also back to playing chess for the same reason it is all in front of you, nothing hidden, except
for what you fail to see. Personally, this are my 2 favorite games for basically that same reason.
As as to my favorite game of pool. I love 9-ball but win more at 8 ball (I think 8 ball is harder to master).
Also, I think I would love to learn and play "One Pocket".
Good to be back :-)

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Pavel Datsyuk posted a goal and an assist
during a three-goal second period that propelled the Detroit Red Wings to a
much-needed 5-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Thursday at Joe Louis
Datsyuk added another assist in the third, while Johan Franzen, Valtteri
Filppula, Patrick Eaves and Justin Abdelkader each scored once for the Red
Wings, who have three straight to move into the seventh spot in the Western
Conference with 54 points.
Detroit, which hasn't missed the playoffs since 1990, can clinch a postseason
berth later on Thursday if Dallas defeats Columbus in any fashion. The Stars
and Blue Jackets are currently in action.
Jimmy Howard stopped 20 shots in the victory.
Mike Fisher and Craig Smith registered a goal and an assist apiece for the
Predators, who have lost nine of their last 10 and will miss the playoffs for

I'm trying to connect to Zimbra calendar using Evolution's 2.24 plain CalDAV, but when I use utf8 characters in summary (or any other field), it's not loaded from the server correctly. (One should remove cache to refetch item next start.) The previous utf8 characters are just a garbage.
Evolution is using simple GET request like this:
I tried from the FireFox too, and only the Resource Name line is showing correct letters, not the item body, neither the <displayname /> part of the page in the FireFox.
There is one possibility how to get this receive properly, when asking for calendar data in the "calendar-query" request, but I believe this is some sort of bug on the Zimbra side, because I had a chat with other CalDAV developer and he said that the GET should always return the same thing which has been PUT, but it doesn't for Zimbra. The good thing is that the web UI shows characters also correctly, nonetheless if the fetching on client side doesn't work as is suppose to, then it doesn't matter much.
Can you check please? Thanks in advance.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Can't get enough of "The Simpsons?" A new package from FXX might have you rethink that position.
The cable channel will begin showing the full 25-year run of the animated series.
A Web site and app called "Simpsons World" will give fans on-demand access to all 500-plus episodes of the comedy — and let users search through the life stories of the various characters.
Longtime "Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean says he doesn't want to make promises he can't keep — but jokes the site will also "provide you with affordable health care."

"This arrived exactly as I had pictured. Good quality paper, lovely design...there's not much you can go wrong with on this one."
"This save the date was amazing and I am not sure if it was the picture or the design but we had so many complements! The quality was great and we worked with the designer to move some of the text around to fit around our picture."
"I ordered this design for my save the date. I used the round edges and I am absolutely amazed at how beautiful they came out. The quality of the printing, paper, and overall design exceeded my expectations. I have received several calls from friends and family with nothing but compliments on our save the dates. Highly recommend WPD and this design."
"This card has such an elegant touch to it. My wedding theme is vintage lace and pearls. I knew I wanted lace on my invites and save the dates. But, I wasn't sure I could afford it. I ordered a sample card of this and completely fell in love with it and ordered. Perfect choice for someone who wants affordable lace accents!"
"Loved this card! This fit with my need to highlight our picture, and my fiance wish to have a simple card. With the white font and rounded edges, it was perfect. I was a bit worried about the quality of my picture, however the editor said it would be fine and she was correct. I only wish the paper was a bit thicker, but for under $2 I am very happy."

Alicia Keys Aims at Child-Rearing in New Software App
Fourteen-time Grammy winner and new mother Alicia Keys launched an app for kids this week.
The app, which was created through her company AK Worldwide and Bento Box Interactive, was partly inspired by her experiences in raising her 2-year-old son, Egypt, the singer and entrepreneur told The Associated Press.
"It's a new adventure for me, and I'm really enjoying it," Keys said.
Released Oct. 25 on iTunes for $3.99, "The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee" is about a New York City girl's relationship with her wise grandmother, a story that mirrors Keys' life.
"Mama Mae, you're here," LeeLee greets her grandmother in the trailer for the app. "How'd you know that I needed you?"
"Grandma's always know, honey pie, we just do," Mama Mae sagely replies. And throughout the app, the nurturing character continues to demonstrate that "Grandma knows best," offering wise sayings or comforting words such as, "Sometimes listening is simply the best medicine," or "Nothing like a good old Mama Mae story for what ails you."
LeeLee's bedroom is the hub of the app, serving as a launching point for users to read books, play music and write in a journal.
Not surprisingly, music is a key element of the app. Not only does it feature original productions by Keys but each story features musical instruments that are relevant to the characters' cultures.
"I thought how cool it would be to be part of something that really allows them (kids) to hear music from different places, different cultures, different sounds," Keys told the AP. "That's what we're able to do with this."
In addition to the software enterprise, Keys is still focused on music. Her fifth album, "Girl On Fire," will hit stores Nov. 27. Singers and songwriters Maxwell, Bruno Mars and John Legend are among the featured performers.

Amsoil/Street Rodder Road Tour 2011 - TechWritten by on March 1, 2011 Beauty Is Only Skin Deep
With the Art Morrison chassis for the 2011 AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour's '55 Chevy completed, Chris Sondles and the crew at Woody's Hot Rodz turned their attention to the body. As true authorities on Tri-Fives, they knew where to look for trouble on our two-door-and believe us, they found it. Over the years our Tri-Five had been subjected to corrosion, general wear and tear, and repair work, ranging from miserable to passable. But at Woody's there's only one way to do things, which meant if there was any part of the body that wasn't perfect it wasn't going to be that way for long.
At first glance our Chevy's shell looked good but primer can hide a multitude of sins, and after a trip to Ken Engel's Powder Coating Specialty for sandblasting it was obvious there was much to be done to make it right. Of course the first rule of sandblasting sheetmetal is to not make it worse by heavy-handed methods, too much air pressure, or media that is too coarse. Engel has earned Woody's confidence and the results show why-while we were left with less than perfect sheetmetal, it was perfectly clean and no worse off for being blasted.
Once back at Woody's it was obvious it would take some effort to make this diamond less rough, the complete floor, rockers, lower quarter-panels, bottoms of the doors, and the ends of both fenders would have to be replaced. While that seems to be an enormous undertaking, it's made much easier thanks to the precision replacement panels from Danchuck Manufacturing. One look at their catalog confirmed that they offer everything we needed:
|Full Floor with Braces Two-Door sedan
|Headlight Patch Panels
|Headlight Patch Panels
|Fender Lower Panels
|Fender Lower Panels
|Lower Quarter-Panels
|Lower Quarter-Panels
|Rocker Panels
|Rocker Panels
In most cases, replacement panels come flanged, which allows a little "wiggle room" in the fit and makes a natural recess for welding. Generally the procedure consists of holding the replacement panel in place, allowing for the width of the flange, and then removing the sheetmetal to be replaced with a cutoff wheel or plasma cutter. In some cases the replacement panels are held in close proximity to the body with clamps and butt welded in place. This is usually done when the patch panel is cut down in size.
Our '55 is off to a good start to having a beautiful body but there is still much to be accomplished so follow along-then plan on joining the 2011 AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour to see the results for yourself.

Look closely and daylight can be seen shining through the floorboards; typically the floor supports and the sills are shot as well.Tada! A few minutes with the Miller plasma cutter and the Chevy's floor was on the shop floor. Note the tubing welded between the B-pillars to maintain body alignment.Danchuck supplied a new floor, with new support in place. Replacing the entire floor is often less work in the long run than patching the original, particularly when the underfloor supports are bad.The new floor is clamped to the flanges on the body-note how the floor supports fit against the sill (top of the photo). Sills are another area where these bodies tend to disintegrate, however Danchuck has replacements for those as well.Thanks to the new rocker panels, floor, and supports, once welded in place the body will be on its way to being good as new-if not better.The new floor in place-note the low areas around where the front seat mounts-they're naturals to collect water, which is what causes the originals to rot.Tri-Five quarters often succumb to rust and in some cases they've been bashed and repaired poorly-our car had been subjected to both so replacements from Danchuck were in order.Here the new panel has been clamped in place. The new panel is flanged to fit under the original sheetmetal-as a bonus the seam ends up under the factory trim strips.
Like the lower quarter-panel patches, Danchuck's headlight repair pieces are flanged to fit under the original sheetmetal. Note the reference marks made to ensure the new pieces are oriented properly.With the fronts of the fenders fixed, Woody's crew turned their attention to the other typical problem area-the lower rear edges. Again, Danchuck came to the rescue with repair panels.More cutting, welding, grinding, body filler, and a trashed fender is ready for service. With the replacement sheetmetal that's available Woody's can bring the sorriest of Tri-Fives back to life.A few more repairs and the '55 will be looking good. Over the years the drain holes in the doors plug up, then the combination of dirt and moisture wreaks havoc.In our case the bottom of the inner door structure required replacement, so we made one more call to Danchuck. Note the drain holes in the bottom of the replacement panels.
Trimmed to fit, the patch panel was held in place with spacer clamps that left a gap for butt-welding the old and new together.In a few instances a custom repair piece is called for-the cure is some new sheetmetal and a plasma cutter.

In 2012, Rod was all set to play with the Faces -- Ron Wood, Ian MacLagan, and Kenney Jones -- during their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, marking the first time he and the group joined forces since 1993. At the 11th hour, Rod fell ill and was advised under doctor's orders not to travel. Simply Red's Mick Hucknall, who's been his replacement over the past few years during Faces gigs, as always, wowed the crowd who at this point are used to Rod not showing up to the reunion gigs.
Now Rod says that 2014 looks like the year that he'll finally commit to playing with his former-bandmates, telling The Sun: "Well, we were on for it but he got nabbed back by the Rolling Stones, didn't he? But let them have him, because my eyes are on next year. I'd really like a reunion of the Jeff Beck Group AND the Faces with Ronnie. Imagine that? We've got the UK tour coming up with the residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas after that then we can start thinking about the Faces."
Over the past decade, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood have teamed up in the studio for a supposed joint album, which at one point was said to be tentatively titled, You Strum - I'll Sing. A while back we asked Rod if there's any chance we'll see him and Ron Wood teaming up for new sessions

Start To Finish Mackey's '27 Model T TouringWritten by Brandan Gillogly on September 23, 2005
Brian Mackey, owner of Mackey's Hot Rods (MackeysHotRods.com) in Huntington Beach, California, found time between building customer cars to put together his own minimalist Model T using a less-than-desirable touring body. Here's the timeline of the car's yearlong construction.
The initial price of the original 1908 Model T was $825. That would be the equivalent of $21,250 in 2012, which is not quite enough to buy a '13 Mustang V6, but it will put you in a '13 Ford Focus.
As production speed increased, Ford was able to lower the price of the Model T to around $260.
Ford built about 15 million Model Ts from 1908 to 1927, and the Touring body was the most popular, with 6,856,772 produced.
The Model T came in multiple body styles that all used a single chassis.
If you were to park every Model T produced, end-to-end, they could:
1] Wrap around the equator (with 6,000 miles to spare)
2] Travel from Route 66's beginning in Santa Monica, CA, to Chicago, IL, and back six times.
3] Make the '12 Power Tour® route 20 times.
Here's what a '26/'27 Model T Touring looked like when it was new. The piece Mackey widened to wrap around the back of the cab was a divider in the passenger compartment between the front and rear seats.
If you've built or restored your car and have documented it in pictures every step of the way, we might be able to use your story in HOT ROD. Contact us to find out. Mail: HOT ROD Start To Finish, 831 S. Douglas St., El Segundo, CA 90245. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

After this photo, they were gusseted for the spring-shackle mount.03.01.2011 Mackey used 2x3-inch, 3⁄16-wall rectangular tubing to make the framerails.

Note the abrupt transition at the rear of the body.04.18.2011 The rear cab wall was removed, widened 31⁄2 inches, and reattached to create a smooth wraparound that also added 2 inches of legroom.

News Release: Jackson County Sheriff's Office
On 1/09/14 at approximately 0057 hours, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office received a call in reference to a juvenile that had battered his grandmother and stolen her vehicle and a shotgun from her residence.
Upon the deputy's arrival at approximately 0114 hours, it was determined that the juvenile was wanting to flee the area due to possibly being in trouble with Law Enforcement on another unrelated incident.
The deputy was able to get a good description of the juvenile and the stolen vehicle and this information was broadcast to the other units in the county and the city of Marianna in an effort to locate him.
The deputy was able to learn from the victim that when she refused to give the juvenile the keys to her vehicle, he choked her and took them forcefully from her purse. He then cut the phone lines to keep her from calling for help and took her shotgun from beside the bedroom door and fled the residence in her vehicle.
At approximately 0130 hours, a Marianna Police Officer observed the vehicle traveling inside the city limits and performed a traffic stop on the vehicle. The Marianna Police Officer along with another deputy from the Sheriff's Office was able to take the juvenile into custody without incident and recovered both the stolen vehicle and shotgun.
The juvenile was arrested and transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Panama City.

The Republican Party is delaying the bulk of its convention until Tuesday afternoon because of the severe weather expected from Tropical Storm Isaac.
Republican Chairman Reince Priebus says the convention will convene briefly Monday and then immediately recess until Tuesday afternoon, once the storm is expected to have passed.
Priebus says that the party made the decision after consulting with Florida Gov. Rick Scott and federal and local emergency officials.
Although nominee-in-waiting Mitt Romney isn't addressing the convention until Thursday night, delegates had been scheduled to take the traditional roll call making him the nominee on the opening day.
This is the second Republican convention in a row to be delayed due to severe weather. The 2008 convention in Minnesota was delayed by a day because of a hurricane.

DEA conducts audit at Polliwog Dental
Published: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 3:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 3:49 p.m.
Agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration visited an Ocala dental office Tuesday and removed some files and interviewed employees.
Mia Ro, a spokeswoman for the DEA in Miami, said agents were at Polliwog Dental (Children's Dentistry) at 255 SE 17th St. for three hours, executing an administrative inspection warrant.
Ro said since the facility is DEA registered to handle controlled substances, agents were there to make sure the office is following the laws, rules and regulations for the distribution of such substances.
Dr. Michael Tarver, DMD, owner of the business, at first said agents were not at the venue but later said they were there for a routine audit.
"I was not aware of that, but if that (did) occur, I'm sure it is part of a routine audit conducted by the department. The staff does not involve the doctors in such minor inspections," he wrote in an email. "Any medical practice is under the scrutiny of multiple government agencies, as we should be."
Tarver said audits are done by the "board of health, the DEA, the Department of Labor, the IRS, you name it. From everything I have been told, today's audit was to make sure our record keeping is in order, which it is. The DEA is just doing their job, as they are required to audit DEA registrants on a fairly regular basis. Every doctor in this county has likely had such an audit in his or her lifetime. They examined our record keeping and found nothing out of the ordinary. We are continuing our practice as usual."
Tarver said the office only has a small amount of controlled substances, "very minor stuff."
"According to the paper handed to me, they are allowed to inspect order forms, invoices, prescriptions, theft and loss reports, destruction reports, initial and biennial inventories, and current inventory. All doctors are required to keep track of this, and it is the DEA's job to make sure medical practices have good record keeping; that's all there is," Tarver said.

Temperature-Dependent Plasticity in Pressure Vessel
Application ID: 12805
This example demonstrates how to use temperature dependent materials within the Nonlinear Structural Materials Module.
A large container holds pressurized hot water. Several pipes are attached to the pressure vessel. Those pipes can rapidly transfer cold water in case of an emergency cooling. The pressure vessel is made of carbon steel with an internal cladding of stainless steel. In case of a fast temperature transient, the differences in thermal expansion properties between the materials will cause high stresses.

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Brennan Boesch plated the go-ahead run with a
pinch-hit, infield single in the top of the ninth inning to lift the New York
Yankees over the Colorado Rockies, 3-2, on Wednesday in the middle test of a
three-game set at Coors Field.
With the game tied 2-2, New York loaded the bases against Colorado reliever
Rafael Betancourt (1-1) when Vernon Wells smacked a leadoff single before Lyle
Overbay and Jayson Nix each walked around Ichiro Suzuki's bunt.
Betancourt bounced back by fanning pinch-hitter Travis Hafner before Boesch
slapped a grounder to third that Nolan Arenado made a diving stop on.
Arenado quickly got to his feet and fired to first, but Boesch beat the throw
by a step, allowing Wells to score the deciding run.
Mariano Rivera worked around a two-out single in the bottom half to secure his
12th save of the season, while David Robertson (2-0) earned the victory with a
scoreless eighth.
Wells collected three hits, including a two-run homer in the first, to help
the Yankees snap a two-game skid.
Todd Helton hit a two-run blast to account for both runs for the Rockies, who
lost for the third time in their last five games.

Iowa State Closes Out Spring Season At Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – The Iowa State Cyclones finished their spring season on Saturday with three two-set matches against North Dakota, UNI and Concordia at the University of Minnesota Sports Pavilion. The Cyclones split sets with North Dakota and UNI and was swept by Concordia.
In the first match of the day, Morgan Kuhrt led the Cyclone offense with seven kills, followed by Victoria Hurtt, who had six, as North Dakota took set one and Iowa State won set two to split the match, 23-25, 25-13. Iowa State held North Dakota to .074 hitting, collecting five total blocks and 29 digs. Sophomore outside hitter Andie Malloy led Iowa State in both blocks (two) and digs (eight).
The Cyclones fell behind a set against UNI but came back in set two, earning the 15-25, 25-16 tie. Both teams struggled on offense, Iowa State hitting .110 and UNI with a .136 mark, but Iowa State dug 37 balls, including 15 digs from sophomore Bria Rasmussen who totaled a team-high 26 digs in the tournament. Senior middle blocker Tenisha Matlock led Iowa State at the net with three total blocks and Kuhrt and Natalie Vondrak each had one block.
In stark opposition to the match against the Panthers, Iowa State did not have a block in its 22-25, 20-25 loss to Concordia but hit .318 behind eight kills from right side Mackenzie Bigbee. Rasmussen led the defense again, this time with five digs, and Kuhrt had two digs.
On the whole, Matlock was tops on the squad with 16 kills and three total blocks. On offense, Matlock was followed closely by Kuhrt's 14 kills and 12 kills from Hurtt. Rasmussen's 26 digs led four Cyclones who posted double-digit dig totals and Kuhrt, Malloy and Vondrak each had two blocks.
Iowa State closes out the spring with a 3-3-2 record and will be back in action for the 2013 regular season in the fall.
Before heading back into competition, Iowa State will hold multiple camps in June and July and openings remain for the individual camps. For more information on Cyclone volleyball camps and to register, visit cyclonevolleyballcamps.com.

PEN World Voices Festival 2010
by Jonathan Zeller, 04/14/2010
- more in arts & entertainment/
- recently/
In the mid-2000s, then PEN president Salman Rushdie and his colleagues were disturbed by what they saw as a rift between the United States and the rest of the globe. Americans were ignoring outside views, they felt, and the world was shutting out American voices and American perspectives.
The PEN World Voices Festival, back for its sixth year from April 26 through May 2, was created to encourage the exchange of ideas between America and the rest of the world, while also promoting free expression and human rights. As a famously literary city, an enclave of diversity and a hotbed of creativity, New York City is an ideal host for the event, and has been its home from the start. (Read nycgo.com's related interview with Salman Rushdie for more on the festival's origins and impact.)
This year's festival lineup connects cultures, authors and readers, today's publishing industry and tomorrow's, and the fictional and real worlds. And in pursuit of a less lofty—but nevertheless laudable—kind of free expression, many of the events are free (check the PEN website for details and a full schedule).
The Main Events
World Voices' Opening Night Extravaganza on April 28 (yes, opening night is two days after the festival's start date) features writers from around the world—representing Pakistan (Mohsin Hamid), China (Yiyun Li), India (Salman Rushdie himself), Mexico (Alberto Ruy-Sánchez) and the United States (Patti Smith), to name a few—reading in their own languages with the English translation projected on a screen behind them.
The next night's That's Not What I Meant! offers a chance to hear Swiss writer Peter Stamm and his translator, poet Michael Hofmann, discuss the challenge of translating Stamm's words into English.
There's also a throwdown for the growing contingent of readers who see translation as a contact sport: the April 30 Translation Slam, where wordsmiths wrestle Alex Epstein's and Cathy Park Hong's texts into English. And worry not, rhyme lovers—PEN won't let prose writers hog the spotlight. During the Big Poetry Reading (earlier that same day), poets from Portugal, Denmark and elsewhere share their work.
On May 1, the PEN Cabaret makes its highly anticipated return. There, Natalie Merchant sings Ogden Nash poetry, Chilean-American novelist Ariel Dorfman reads a ghost story, and others from the literary world dazzle (le) Poisson Rouge with their theatrical talents.
Great Debates
PEN thrives on hot-button discussions, and 2010 brings plenty of them. On April 29, Weather Report: What Can We Do? assembles Bjørn Lomborg, Jostein Gaardener, James Hansen and others to consider the science and politics of climate change, public policy and personal responsibility. Later that night, in Face-to-Face: Confronting the Torturers: A PEN Freedom to Write Event, authors read from true and fictional works in which people who have been tortured confront their abusers—an especially resonant subject given recent revelations about the War on Terror.
On May 2, meanwhile, four events explore issues impacting the Middle East and its relationship with the world at large. Iran: A Conversation with Maziar Bahari and The Daily Show's Jason Jones is a conversation with Canadian-Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari, who was accused of spying and jailed for 118 days after the controversial 2009 Iranian presidential election, and Jason Jones, who had interviewed him earlier for The Daily Show. Taming the Gods: A Conversation with Ian Buruma and Andrew Delbanco brings together author Iam Buruma (who wrote the event's namesake book) and Columbia University professor Andrew Delbanco—Time magazine's favorite American social critic of 2001—to analyze the relationship between religion and democratic ideals.
And in Black Sheep & Exploding Turbans, writers discuss concerns about mutual respect, ethnic tensions and free expression between Europe's press, its governments and its significant Muslim minority.
Around the World
Cultural exchange isn't marked solely by controversy, of course. In April 29's A Gathering of Voices, children's authors David Almond, Janne Teller and others explore how their work has been inspired by cultures around the world, including their own. That day and the next, I Come from There showcases free readings of new plays by Arab playwrights about love, war and almost everything in between. Two Worlds, on May 2, moderated by Canadian-American New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik, lets authors who have moved to America from elsewhere discuss how immersion in a new home has changed them and their writing.
In New York Stories on April 29, New Yorkers hear about themselves, too, as writers discuss great New York City–inspired works by Edith Wharton, Elizabeth Hardwick and Henry James.
Marquee Names
PEN provides star power as well. On April 30, New York's own Jonathan Lethem and other authors discuss writing's power to depict ideal and nightmarish worlds in Utopia and Dystopia: Geographies of the Possible. The same day brings a discussion between Shirley Hazzard and Richard Ford, while May 1 features Toni Morrison across from Marlene van Niekirk, and Javier Cercas with Amanda Vaill. Finally, on May 2, Roddy Doyle and National Book Award winner Colum McCann (author of Let the Great World Spin) discuss their work and inspiration.
The Tense Future
Finally, technological advances have kindled tremendous change and interest in publishing's direction. All week, panels about literary magazines and journalism's future—along with a forum called Blogs, Twitter, the Kindle—explore what tomorrow may hold for reading, writing and the business thereof. In the festival's climactic event, the Fifth Annual Arthur Miller Freedom to Write Lecture, award-winning scribe Sherman Alexie discusses the role of books in a digital future, and ponders writers' changing artistic, political and economic responsibilities.
Remarkably, the above represents only a fraction of the offerings during the PEN World Voices Festival. If you want to attend an event, make sure to check whether there are advance ticket sales or reservations. If there are, get your seat now, before it sells out.

Radiating a new sense of warmth, the ship's public spaces are resplendent with elegant new furnishings, rich upholstery, custom-milled carpeting and hand-selected accents. From the bold yet soothing tones of the Observation Lounge, to the inviting sophistication of Horizons, every area exudes a sense of style and elegance. The refurbishment was over-seen by Frank J. Del Rio, the line's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who flew to Marseille, France for a final inspection before Seven Seas Voyager set sail.
"Regent Seven Seas Cruises has always set the benchmark for luxury cruises and the Seven Seas Voyager just raised the bar considerably. The ship is nothing short of breathtaking," said Kunal S. Kamlani, president of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. "Seven Seas Voyager is ushering in a new era of design sophistication for the line and is now undoubtedly the most beautiful ship afloat," he added.
As part of the ship's refurbishment all Penthouse Suites received stunning new décor with custom-crafted elegant furnishings, plush carpeting, curtains, wall coverings, furniture, lighting, original artwork and outdoor furniture.
Horizons, the ship's nightclub and bar, and the Observation Lounge each underwent a complete, radical transformation. The venues now sport distinctive new bars, chic new furnishings, tony carpeting, lustrous wall coverings, and new lighting throughout.
The Constellation Theater, the ship's two-deck high, state-of-the-art show theatre was rejuvenated with new carpeting, all new upholstery, wall coverings, cocktail tables, wall sconces, banquettes and chairs.
Of course, the ship's exterior decks received just as much as attention as the interiors. New teak was installed on the balconies of all 350 suites and teak decks in common areas were re-surfaced and re-finished to brand-new condition. The Pool Deck, as well as the ship's outdoor relaxation areas on Decks 5, 11 and 12, now feature brand new resort furniture and stylish accents. The Pool Grill and La Veranda also received eye-catching upgrades with new mosaic tiling, new wall coverings and awnings.
Appearing continuously on annual "world's best" and "top" awards lists by noted media including Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Cruise Critic and more, Regent Seven Seas Cruises' fleet is comprised of three all-suite ships that carry from 490 to 700 guests in luxury to ports in Australia, Europe, Asia, South America, South Pacific, Alaska, New England, Canada, Africa, and the Caribbean.
Additionally, Regent Seven Seas Cruises recently announced an expansion to its industry-leading all-inclusive product by offering free Wi-Fi fleet-wide including Seven Seas Voyager as part of a multi-million dollar Internet investment upgrade. Beginning with Winter 2014-2015 sailings, concierge-level and higher guests will receive up to 500 minutes of free Wi-Fi.
Guests can choose from up to four, open-seating gourmet restaurants, including Compass Rose, serving an exceptional variety of European-inspired Continental cuisine; Prime 7, a contemporary American steakhouse; Signatures, a classic French dining experience that rivals the finest Parisian restaurants; and Sette Mari at La Veranda, which offers an extensive menu of authentic Italian specialties. With some of the highest space-per-guest ratios in the cruise industry, accommodations include such requisite amenities as down comforters, Egyptian cotton linens, flat-screen television, DVD players and Wi-Fi access. Penthouse and higher-category suites aboard all three ships are equipped with iPads.

In an emergency dial 999 or 444 from any Internal telephone line.
This will connect the caller to the Security Reception, which is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Welcome to LU Security
Welcome to the Lancaster University Security web pages. Here you will find information on who to contact in an emergency, crime prevention and general security matters. The University provides a team of trained Security Officers, led by the Head of Security and his Deputy. The Security staff undertake a number of duties, working shifts to cover 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Security Lodge is Located on Bowland Avenue South, opposite the Chaplaincy Centre, near the main roundabout as your arrive on Campus.
The prime task is to ensure the safety and security of students, staff and visitors alike whilst on Campus and other University sites. We aim to maintain a safe and secure environment at all times. Security staff are a visible presence for crime prevention and reporting of incidents, including mobile patrols in liveried vehicles. Building Security is high on the list of responsibilities, ensuring that the numerous Departments and Colleges are correctly accessible when required, especially at weekends. Another such responsibility is Parking Control and Enforcement of the University Parking Regulations, a vital requirement to ensure access for all to Campus. The Lost and Found property register and store is also kept at the Security Lodge.
Each College has a dedicated Porter team, providing 24 hour assistance to students, staff and visitors. Their duties include postal distribution, management of public rooms and venues, and are the first point of personal contact in any emergency. Some department buildings also have day porters.
The whole team aim to to promote security as part of everyone's life at the University, and to work with all on Campus to help keep it safe and secure. We are keen to know what you think of the service we offer and any improvements we can make. Please fill in the feedback form with any comments you may have.
If you need help with a Security issue please call the appropriate number.
Parking on Campus - Permit Display Reminder

Penalty fee: £75, reduced to £45 if payment is received within 14 days. This is enforced by Lancaster University Security staff supported by an external facilitator, Liberty Services. Photographic evidence is taken and sent directly to Liberty Services for processing. University Security staff are not involved in the administration of taking payment of the CPNs.
If you do genuinely forget your parking permit you must call security on 94541 at the time of parking with your registration number to enable them to note it.

One of our favorite summer trends has to be white denim. There's something so utterly clean and fresh about a pair of white jeans or shorts on a guy. This trend may look intimidating, but it's actually quite easy and versatile!
A pair of slim white jeans (like the Buffalo David Bitton Kemitch Slim Straight) can be dressed up with a nice button up or polo and a pair of oxfords, or dressed down with sneakers and a cool tee.
Brighten up your weekend casuals with a pair of white shorts (like the Jet Lag Take Off 3 Short), sneakers and short-sleeve button down shirt.
No matter how you opt to wear this season's white denim, you'll definitely be looking cool despite the summer heat.

Yes, they really are this stupid.
GOP Rep. Yoho Shows His Idiocy, Says Not Raising Debt Ceiling would bring stability to world markets
October 6, 2013
By Allen Clifton
Forward Progressives
Were living in a day and age where facts seem to have suddenly become subjective. Well, at least if youre a Republican. Were also living in an age where it seems the entire GOP lives in a world where their supporters believe reality is based upon what they want to be real instead of what is real. And the worst part is, many of them really dont want to know the truth.
Which is a great environment for the tea party to thrive considering most of those people damn sure dont function in any sort of reality known to humankind.
The combination of both of those factors is how someone like Florida Representative Ted Yoho got elected to public office. See, 5, 10, 15 years ago this man would have been a laughing stock in pretty much any election. But since the emergence of the tea party, hes seemingly one of the up-and-coming characters in the Republican party.
And hes an absolute idiot. Now Im not saying that just because hes a Republican he really is an idiot. This is the man who called President Obama a racist because of the tax Obamacare adds to tanning beds and still subscribes to birther conspiracies.
Hes also one of the most adamant supporters of the current government shutdown.
So with that level of absolute idiocy on display, it should come as no surprise that when it comes to the vote on the debt ceiling, Mr. Yoho would be every bit as idiotic. See, Yoho has recently stated that he will not vote to raise the debt ceilingever.
Not only did he state he would never vote to raise the debt ceiling, he actually said that the United States defaulting on its debt would bring stability to the world markets. His reasoning for this is that it would show that the United States is serious about tackling its debt.
Yes, this man is an elected official. And yes, hes apparently just that ignorant.
The debt ceiling is not something thats up for debate. Its not even a complicated issue. It shouldnt even be a partisan issue. Its something that must be done for the United States to pay its bills on money it has already spent. What is it about Republicans that they seem unable, or simply unwilling, to grasp this simple concept?
The debt ceiling is not about new spendingweve already spent the money. Not raising it wont have a damn thing to do with decreasing our deficits or shrinking our national debt. What not raising the debt ceiling will most likely do is crash our economy and send the global economy into a free fall.
This is something that basically every economic expert even those who consider themselves as conservatives say is an absolute certainty if the debt ceiling isnt raised.
Yet this idiot thinks it will bring stability to the worlds markets. Yeah, because the United States defaulting on our debt is a good thing, right?
Only in a warped, delusional Republican world are statements like these even taken seriously. Hell, theyre cheered by many. But the worst part is that no amount of evidence or economic experts telling them otherwise will change the minds of these conservatives who want to play games with our debt ceiling.
But honestly, isnt that what many of these tea party Republicans want? A full-on economic collapse so they can blame our government for it? After all, the tea partys main platform is being anti-government. So what better way to show how terrible government is than to sabotage it from the inside.
Which seems to be exactly what theyre trying to do.
So when Ted Yoho says that he will never vote to raise the debt ceiling, hes either a crafty, calculated politician out to sabotage our government from the inside or hes an idiot.
Personally, at least in this case, Im going with the latter.

DCCC using Alan "K Street Whore" Grayson to fund other candidates?
This particular hypocrisy on the part of the Democratic party is almost… pure in its brazenness, really. It goes like so: the Democrats have put together a program called 'Majority Makers' where Democrats with good fundraising ability who are expected to win their elections are being tapped to spread some of that raised money around to candidates who aren't doing so well.

BROAN offers the widest variety of ventilation fans in the industry. For the latest high-performance, ENERGY STAR® qualified solution to today's green building requirements, or ultra quiet operation for a comfortable environment, BROAN offers stylish options to fit any situation from a retrofit to a new build out. As the leader in residential ventilation, we will confidently meet your needs.
The leader in home ventilation, BROAN offers the broadest line of kitchen ventilation products in North America, providing choices, style, value and a name you can trust.
Air in your attic can reach 150°F during the summer, warming your home, increasing the load on your air conditioner, and adding to your energy bill. In winter, ice dams can result from poor ventilation, and moist air in the home can condense on attic surfaces causing mildew, rotting wood and wet insulation. BROAN has the solution!
It's quite simple. You may use some rooms only briefly, such as the bathroom, as you get ready for work in the morning. Heating the entire home for this purpose is pointless. Instead, opt for spot heating, which will effectively heat the area you need – when you need it.
As the industry's leader in providing Whole House Ventilation Systems for residential construction, BROAN sets the bar in standards of innovation and excellence. We are continually seeking ways to provide the best quality, technology, style and care to our customers.
No one really talks about the waste can under the kitchen sink. It's a necessary evil, or so they say. But that all changes with a BROAN Elite Trash Compactor. BROAN has been designing and producing these convenience appliances for nearly 40 years, refining the product while defining the category. And the result? A line of products that is the perfect complement to today's high-style appliances, and environmentally-conscious homeowners.
Consider your location as you choose the ideal ventilation for you home.
BROAN offers powerful and energy-efficient whole-house ventilation solutions for every climate and home.
The best ventilation solution for Minnesota with its cold winters would not be the best solution for Florida and its hot, humid summers.
In colder climates, where home heating is essential, the Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) is the proper choice. The HRV keeps the home supplied with a steady flow of fresh outdoor air. As stale, warm air is expelled, the heat recovery core warms the incoming fresh, colder air before it is distributed throughout the home.
The result is a constant supply of fresh air, without unpleasant drafts and greater home comfort. In addition to heat recovery and improved air quality, the HRV provides necessary ventilation while controlling excess humidity.
Residential balanced ventilation systems introduce fresh air alone, or include Heat Recovery (HRV) or Energy Recovery (ERV)
features. Select the unit that best matches the square footage requirements of your home or small office.
Light commercial balanced ventilation systems for high-rise dwellings, commercial facilities or offices are available with Heat Recovery (HRV) or Energy Recovery (ERV) features. Now, a single unit can be installed in place of multiple units, reducing installation time and materials, maintenance time and costs, and space requirements.These green solutions capture up to 70% of the heat already paid for and transfers it to the fresh air entering the space. Select the unit that best matches the CFM requirement of your installation and other special needs.
HEPA Filtration plus Balanced Ventilation Systems provide year-round air filtration, plus energy saving features matched to any climate. HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) with antimicrobial protection is the most effective filtration available, capturing 99.97% of airborne particles including dust, allergens and pet dander.

MORGANTOWN - Each year, the West Virginia Mountaineers select a different tune to blare on the sound system as they take Mountaineer Field.
Once there, it seems, they get stuck playing the same one.
West Virginia's 38-35 loss to Louisville on Saturday was its second loss this season to a team it was favored to beat by double digits. It's pretty much happened at least once - and in most cases twice - every year since the Mountaineers regularly started to become favorites, with one head-scratcher following another. It's a trend that has spanned several senior classes, and now, a third head coach.
Most of those years, they've begun as the preseason pick to win the Big East. We know what they can do as underdogs, as they have a history of relishing the role (see Bowls, BCS). But is this a program that simply cannot play from out front?
Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen will simply - and blatantly - tell you WVU was beaten by a Cardinals team that hadn't won back-to-back league games in five seasons Saturday because it lost the turnover battle, couldn't punt, and couldn't kick.
While all of those were true, and at times it can be as simple as that, but it doesn't explain everything. The good teams are supposed to either not commit the turnovers or bounce back and find another way to get things done despite them.
These Mountaineers, through nine games, have proved they're not good enough to do that. Perhaps they never were.
Defensive lineman Julian Miller knows that West Virginia, a program that has won 50 of its last 66 Big East games, is generally going to get everyone's best shot. That's how Syracuse can look like a pre-NCAA investigation USC team one week against the Mountaineers, and, well, like Syracuse the next.
Still, good teams should be able to take that best shot, then deliver a knockout blow. Instead, they just seem to put more blood in the water.
"You've just got to go out there and match their intensity and hard play," Miller said. "That's one thing that sometimes we can do at any given point, but to put it together for all four quarters, we're still having a little trouble doing that. I think that's what has haunted us these past couple games"
Perhaps, unless you truly believe the Big East is as full of as much parity as Holgorsen claimed it is earlier this week. He called it as even a conference as he's ever seen. So a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown, in his eyes, can turn a 14-point underdog into a winner.
"When you move down the field and put yourself in position to get points, obviously you need to knock the ball through and make sure you're doing your job up front," Holgorsen said. "That's a 10-point swing there. Two (missed/blocked) field goals counts as a 10-point swing. It's pretty easy to figure out what the difference in the game is."
On the surface, sure. But West Virginia had so many other opportunities to win this game. The defense, for the most part, just wasn't there. Trailing by three with a little more than 8 minutes left, the Mountaineers couldn't stop Louisville, with its true freshman quarterback, from going 66 yards on 13 plays and going up 10 with less than 2 minutes left. They gave up three plays of 10 or more yards on a drive that ended with Dominique Brown, a player Louisville lists as a backup quarterback, finding his way in from 3 yards out. Brown had six carries on that drive, including a 2-yard run on a fourth-and-1 call.
"When we needed a stop there at the end," Holgorsen said, "we didn't get it."
Good teams find a way to keep teams thinking about that first down that never came well into the offseason. Not these Mountaineers.
"You can't really try go throughout the season thinking that you're crowned to win the Big East and you're going to win the Big East," Miller said. "Teams are going to come out and just try to play you as tough and as hard as they can because you're the preseason favorite.
