Basketball in March means common sense should be left at the door and homer-ism should prevail.

An estimated 1 billion people in undeveloped countries do not have access to clean drinking water. Contaminated drinking water is responsible for more than 5 million deaths per year. In Ethiopia, for example, less than one-fourth of the population has access to clean water and, in the rural areas, only 11 percent can obtain clean water. In some villages, women and children often walk five or more miles several times a day to fill water jugs with filthy, disease-infested water. The cost of drilling wells in those countries has been prohibitive, but a new application of an old drilling method could bring clean water to millions.
The Water4 Foundation recently demonstrated a low-cost hand drilling method and a low-cost durable hand pump to Oklahoma Christian University engineering and MBA students on the OC campus. Oklahoma Christian students who founded and operate Wishing Well, which has completed 65 water projects in several African countries, are partnering with Water4. The foundation is also hoping that engineering students at OC will consider starting a business drilling wells in remote areas of Africa. According to Dick Greenly, a geologist with Pumps of Oklahoma who volunteers for Water4, a profit of $200 per well or more can be made on each well because the drilling instruments, pump and labor are very inexpensive and can even be made from materials already in-country. Most villages, he said, can afford the $600 and will gladly pay it to have a clean, convenient water source. It is also important for the villagers to have some buy-in for the well so they will maintain it.
The hand drilling method can drill a well as deep as 300 feet, through rock if necessary, and costs about $600, compared with $15,000 in Africa for a mechanically drilled well. The hand drilling equipment is also highly portable, capable of being carried by the workers, making wells possible in areas not accessible by vehicles. The method does not require water, often a problem in remote areas with mechanical drilling.
The drilling method, cable tool, was used over 3,000 years ago by the Chinese, according to Greenly. "We researched a number of hand drilling techniques and this was the most efficient and cost effective for what we were trying to accomplish." Greenly also developed a low-cost hand pump from PVC that can be produced in country and is very durable.
During the past year, the Water4 Foundation has brought clean water to people in 24 countries including Zambia, Mozambique, Ecuador and Ethiopia. World Vision International provided $2.5 million budget for Water4 to continue its ambitious water drilling program.
"Our goal is to get fresh water to 1 million people by 2020," Greenly said. "Currently, we're completing 12 wells a week, bringing fresh water to approximately 5,000 people weekly. Working with OC students and Wishing Well, we hope to accelerate the program. Since the locals can make money drilling these wells, we are bringing them fresh water, helping the local economy and sharing the love of Christ."

Double- or single-sided. Grayscale or color. Landscape or portrait.
These are just some of the options you might see when you print. This article describes common Windows printing options and how to select them.
Remember, your printing options depend entirely on the printer model and software application you're using. Consult the manual that came with your printer or program for more details.
Printing in Windows is often as simple as clicking the File menu found in most programs, and then clicking Print.
Doing so opens the Print dialog box. This is where you can change basic settings such as what printer to use or how many copies to print. (The dialog box you see might look different from the one shown here, depending on your software and printer.)
Select Printer
Shows the available printers on your computer. You can also choose to print something like a fax or a Microsoft XPS file. (See XPS documents: frequently asked questions.)
Find Printer
Helps locate network printers. This option is useful in office settings or for home networks. For more information about installing network printers, see Install a printer.
Print to file
Allows you to save a document as a .prn file. This option is useful if you want to print something later, but it doesn't always work with modern USB printers. If you have a USB printer, you might prefer to print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer. For more information, see Print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer.
Opens the Printing Preferences dialog box, where you can choose options such as paper size and layout.
Page Range
Tells Windows what to print. Click Selection to print only highlighted text or graphics. Click Current Page to print only what you see.
To print part of a document, click Pages and then enter the page numbers separated by hyphens. For example, type 5–7 to print only pages 5 through 7. Some programs let you choose non-sequential pages too. If so, you can type 1, 4, 8 to print only pages 1, 4, and 8, for example.
Number of copies
Print multiple copies of a document, file, or picture. Select the Collate check box to print all pages in a document in order before printing additional copies.
Every printer manufacturer and software publisher has its own way of doing things. Double-sided or color printing might require you to click a button labeled "Preferences," "Properties," or even "Advanced."
That said, there are two standard printer-related options you'll see frequently: printing preferences and printer properties. Here's what they mean.
Printing preferences are the options available on your printer.
Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start button , and then, on the Start menu, clicking Devices and Printers.
Right-click the printer that you want to use, and then click Printing preferences.
Make your choices, and then click OK.
Common choices you'll find in this dialog box include:
Page orientation or layout. Choose between tall (portrait) or wide (landscape).
Paper or sheet size. Letter, legal, A4, or envelope size are common options.
Paper or output source. Selects a paper tray. Printers store paper in different trays.
Double-sided (duplex) printing. Print on one, or both, sides of a sheet.
Print color. Color or black-and-white (grayscale) prints.
Staple. A common option on workplace printers.
The Printer properties dialog box is typically where you'll find options governing the printer itself—updating drivers, configuring ports, and other hardware-related customizations.
Right-click the printer that you want to use, and then click Printer properties.
To learn more about printing, see Print a document or file and Print a picture.
This article can help you get the print results that you want—from choosing what to print, to selecting from available print options for your documents, and then selecting a printer. The print options available to you depend on the printer and program that you're using.
Before you send a print job to the printer, decide if you want to print some or all of the document or webpage. You might, for example, need to make a note of which pages to print or select part of a document before sending it to the printer. Here are common printing tasks to consider:
To print only part of a document or file, make a note of the page numbers for each page that you want to print.
To print part of a page or webpage only, select the content you want to print before printing.
To print a specific page, click any place on the page before choosing print options for the document. The page that you clicked becomes the current page and you can print it by selecting that option in the Print dialog box.
After you decide what to print, choose how the print copies should look, and then select a printer.
To choose print options, you need to open the document, file, or picture that you want to print. Most print options are located in the Print dialog box, which you can access from the File menu in the program that you're using. The options that are available to you will depend on the program and the printer that you're using.
To access some options, you might need to click an "Options" or "Advanced Options" link, button, or tab within the Print dialog box. To find out more about print options for a program, refer to the information for the program.
Print options that are determined by your printer capabilities are called printing preferences, and can include double-sided printing, separator pages, color or image quality options, and staples. Like program options, printing preferences are displayed in the Print dialog box. Look for buttons labeled "Preferences" or "Properties." You can choose preferences each time you print a document or set default preferences to use for all documents that you send to a printer.
Open Printers by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Hardware and Sound, and then clicking Printers.
Right-click the printer that you want to use, and then click Printing Preferences.
Select the preferences that you want to use by default the next time you print to the printer, and then click OK.
To print using your default printer and printer settings, locate the file, right-click it, and then click Print.
To see what the print copy will look like before you print it, open the document in a program that offers a print preview. Print preview is typically located on the File menu for a program. You should be able to preview each page of the document. In some programs, you can choose print options in the preview mode, and then print directly from the preview. In other programs, you might have to close the preview, change the document or your printer settings, and then print it.
If you preview or print a document and it doesn't look the way you intended, you might need to edit the document or change your print options. For example, if only part of your document fits on the printed page, you might need to reduce the font size, decrease the margins, or change the page layout, and then try printing it again.
Once you know exactly what you are going to print, you can decide between printing copies or printing to a file.
Print a copy. If you purchased the printer, plugged it in to the computer, or installed it on a network, the odds are good that you already know which features the printer offers. You probably know, for example, if it prints in color or black ink, or both. You might know all the sheet sizes of paper that you can use in the printer, or if you can staple copies as they are printed. These are common printer features that can be easy to check by looking at the printer itself.
To see if other features such as watermarks, separator pages, and image control options such as resolution and light-dark contrast are available, you might need to refer to the information that came with the printer or contact the person who installed the printer on your computer or network.
If you've added more than one printer to the computer, your default printer is automatically selected when you want to print a document or file. Depending on the type of documents you print most often and how you prefer to print, you can select a printer each time or change your default printer. For more information, see Change your default printer.
If you are printing personal or confidential information, you might want to select a printer that requires you to be present and to enter a password on the printer before the document can be printed. For information about security features on a printer, refer to the information that came with the printer.
Print to a file.
Windows offers two additional printer drivers that are displayed as printers in Control Panel and in your programs. These printers allow you to print to a file instead of printing to paper. You can print to a file when you want to send, share, or publish a document, or when you want to print it using another computer or a commercial printer.
Printing to a file is useful when you want to send a print job to a commercial printer, control how a document will appear in print, online, or on another computer, or add security features to a document before sending it or sharing it with other people. For more information about the printers that come with Windows, see these topics:
Print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer
Print to file
Many print options depend on the printer. After you select one, you can choose more options for printing the document.
This table describes some frequently used print options. How each option is referred to can vary depending on the software publisher and the printer manufacturer.
Double-sided printing
Also referred to as duplex or two-sided printing, this option allows you to print on both sides of the paper, regardless of paper orientation or source.
Also referred to as the paper layout, this option allows you to position content on a vertical or horizontally placed sheet of paper, depending on how you intend it to be viewed.
Page range
You typically have four options for choosing the pages you want to print, including all pages in a document. To select individual pages or a sequence of pages, called a range, you can type the page numbers separated by commas or hyphens. For example, if you type 1,4,5-7, only pages 1 and 4, and then pages 5 through 7, will be printed.
The Selection option prints only text or graphics that you have already selected in a document. The option Current or Current page prints only the page that you are viewing when you choose to print the document.
If your printer can staple copies as they are printed, you can typically find the stapling option in the advanced printing preferences. You might also be able to choose staples as a default printing preference. To see how, refer to the information that came with the printer.
Paper size (sheet size)
In many cases, if your printer has more than one paper tray or if it can print on more than one size of paper using a single tray, you can select the paper size that you want to use.
After you choose the paper size but before you print, make sure that you load the correct sheets of paper in the printer tray, and then print the document. If you printer supports multiple paper trays, you might need to choose an output option or paper source.
Output or paper source
Also referred to as output destination or paper tray, this option allows you to choose paper from a specific tray in the printer on which you want to print. Many printers allow you store different sheet sizes, or different colors or types of paper, in individual trays.
For example, you might load sheets of paper with customized stationery, a letterhead, or a watermark in one tray and load unmarked paper sheets of the same size in another tray. When you want to print on stationery, for example, you can choose the paper source, or tray, containing that paper.

The 89th Annual Mum Show recently took place in Hamilton this past week. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to enjoy the artistic splendor. If it was anything like last year, then I really missed out. Not only does the event showcase new varieties and traditional favourites, the creativity involved in designing elaborate displays filled with mums is impressive. Last year's show included water features, gazing balls, and other artistic installations strategically placed amoung the thousands of potted chrysanthemums.
Aside from the sheer beauty of the Mum Show, another thing I love about the show is the smell. There's something about the smell of mums that I love. I don't know if it's just me, but the smell of mums is irresistible.

Alexander Megos Sends Frankenjura's Hardest
German powerhouse Alexander Megos has repeated Corona (5.15a), which is considered to be the hardest sport climb in Germany's Frankenjura. The route was first climbed by Markus Bock in 2006 and was unrepeated until Adam Ondra snatched the second ascent in 2009. Megos reportedly needed three days and 10 tries--which he spread out over six months--to send the route. It is also worth noting that Megos actually sent Corona twice, climbing it a second time while a photographer snapped photos.
This is the 19-year-old's second 5.15a in less than a month, having recently made the first ascent of Classified, also located in the Frankenjura. The progression of Alex Megos has shocked the climbing world lately. In late March, he accomplished the world's first confirmed 5.14d onsight--climbing Estado Critico in Siurana, Spain on his first try. Just a few days later, Megos climbed the nearby La Rambla (5.15a) on his second try. Megos started climbing at the age of six and then began a serious training program at age 13, which is guided by his coach Patrick Matros. In a recent article written by Matros, he explained that after Megos finished high school, they suggested that he should take a year off for "traveling and climbing around the world ..." but "Not with us, with some friends!" While visiting the U.S. for four months during his "year off", Megos managed to send over 100 routes graded 5.13b or harder, including an impressive flash of Pure Imagination (5.14c) in the Red River Gorge.
Check out this video of Megos' training program.

How Operational Risk Management Helps All Risk Disciplines
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 277 Visits
We've learned that operational risks played a big part in the losses associated with the current crisis. Now that companies are rethinking their risk management strategies moving forward, many are hoping to leverage operational risk management to improve performance in other risk management disciplines.
In a recent webinar, John Wheeler of Wheelhouse Advisors (formerly Senior Vice President and Senior Risk Officer within the Corporate Risk Management division at SunTrust Banks – see case study) spoke to some of the root causes of the crisis associated with operational risk management, and how moving forward operational risk management can be leveraged for strategic advantage.
What are some of the key linkages between operational risk and other risk disciplines at your company?
Operational Risk and Solvency II
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 164 Visits
Operational risk is a critical component of an enterprise risk management strategy. For European Insurers, Solvency II will require an more holistic approach to managing and reporting on risk within the business, as noted here on the OpRisk and Compliance blog.
Banking Stress Tests: Are we any safer?
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 196 Visits
The Treasury is expected to announce this afternoon their long-awaited results to the so-called banking stress tests. They've done a good job leaking the key bits of information this week so the market has had time to adjust. Actually, they've done a good job attenuating the whole banking system assessment process, which has allowed time for investor sentiment to improve with the recent glimmers of hope for the economy that some prognosticators are seeing. What will be interesting is to see the parameters of the tests. I've read that the tests assume a worst case scenario of job loss that we're very likely to exceed, but I'll wait to see the fine print.
Risk Management Lessons from Abroad
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 172 Visits
Recently, there have been a few interesting articles about how other countries approach risk management. Last week, Dow Jones reported that Brazilian banks will be required to establish and maintain internal risk management structures, assuring regulators that there is some standardization of the risk management function across financial services institutions. Earlier this week, the Financial Times reported on the risk management governance practices in Spain. In Spanish banks, there's a practice of non-executive directors sitting on a risk committee that advises management on their risk management practices. These are no paper tigers: apparently, the committee at BBVA met 102 times last year.
Thoughts on the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 150 Visits
The Stress Tests for the US Bank Holding Companies (BHC) have been released by the Fed. As had been leaked, the industry must raise $74.6 billion. The biggest number is for the Bank of America, which must raise $33.9 million, as they are unlikely to convert the preferred shares owned by the Treasury. The New York Times is reporting that the US Government will end up owning 36 pct of Citi after they convert their rescue funds into common stock. They will still have to raise $5.5 billion. Other interesting details:
The Role of Operational Risk Moving Forward
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 162 Visits
Over the last couple weeks, OpenPages has participated in three different conferences on risk and compliance. We sponsored the Global Conference on Operational Risk put on by the RMA and ORX, Gartner's Risk Management and Compliance event in Chicago, and the RIMS show in Orlando. At each event, many people were asking about the role of risk management moving forward. In particular, as companies adjust to a new reality of risk management oversight, particularly in the financial services arena, many are rethinking how the different risk disciplines relate to one another.

The warning is for the following river in Maryland: Willis Creek (near Cumberland affecting Allegany County). The warning is set to last from Tuesday morning until late Tuesday night and went into affect because at 9:00 p.m. Monday, the stage was 7.1 feet and rising.
Flood stage is ten feet. The National Weather Service forecasts minor flooding, to rise above ten feet by tomorrow morning and crest. If the water reaches 11 feet it will approach businesses at Motor City. The water is expected to reach 10.5 feet tomorrow afternoon, then fall below the stage.
The National Weather Service states that vehicles must be moved to higher ground and that historically, this compares to a crest of 11 feet on March 11, 2011.


text: Home Culture When Friends Come Out Single-Minded: When Don Lemon announced that he was gay, it made big news. But is this kind of revelation really so shocking? By: Helena Andrews Posted: May 20 2011 12:56 AM 0 Comstock Images One of the first e-mails I got when my plane landed Monday had just two sentences: "Are you back?" and "Don Lemon is gay." A friend wanted to fill me in on all the "breaking news" I'd missed while in the jungles of Brazil, but in the most casual way possible. Like "Your dog ate my memo" and "The world went on without you." Thing is, the world -- well, the heteronormative one, at least -- is supposed to stop when someone previously packaged as "straight" suddenly bends the rules, but these days the bell curve appears to have switched things up a bit. So when CNN anchor Don Lemon announced via Twitter (linking to an interview with the New York Times about his new book, Transparent) that he was gay, the sound of the earth shattering wasn't so loud. It was more like a hammer on a mattress. On Monday, Lemon told CNN colleague Joy Behar that he's never lived a double life. "I don't really know about the down low because I haven't played that game ... I was born gay, just as I was born black." I'm betting that his friends picked up on that years before he ever came out to them. Actually, I'm hoping that they did. Tiny Fey captured it best in her new book, Bossypants, when she described a life-altering moment in a friend's life: "In my experience, the hardest thing about having someone 'come out' to you is the 'pretending' to be surprised part." There's all the elongated vowel sounds to consider. The overstretched "o" of "Nooo?" and the drawn-out "e" in "Reeeally?" "Your gay friend has obviously made a big decision to say the words out loud," writes Fey -- author, actress, proud friend of the out and proud. "You don't want him to realize that everybody's known this since he was 10 ... " That's what I was thinking when, a week after sophomore year started, one of my best guy friends told me he was gay. First off, everyone in the universe (defined by the entire population of our dorm) knew this. (Never mind his awkwardly timed allusions to a long-distance high school girlfriend. They went to prom together, I think.) Second, I found him devastatingly attractive. Last, there was that time when we were sitting on my extra-long twin and a tickle fight had just gone to the cards -- and nothing happened. Point is, we were very close, and I just assumed that he assumed I assumed nothing would ever happen between us because we both liked guys. I even remember making a point to mention repeatedly in casual conversation about phallic fruit -- for example, that my mother was a lesbian and I, therefore, was an expert on homosexuality and coming out of the figurative closet, since my mom had done so 10 years prior to my birth. I also jokingly called him "gay boy" in the elevator one or 10 times to just put it out there. This made sense to me. My constant gay fishing was a way of making a safe space. I was in no way laying a trap for a life-changing proclamation. Oddly, I was the very last person from our group to whom my friend made his coming-out announcement. I knew this because everyone else told me to prepare myself for the very moment it happened. We each wanted to offer up the exact authentic amount of shock and awe. We wanted to be helpful. And our friend, wanting to make us feel useful, allowed each of us a private audience for our performances. To this day I believe my "Whaaat?!" followed very quickly by "OK, duh!" was something special.

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A (or Texas?)Tuesday, September 28th, 2010
We've completed our first full day of travel to bring the Fun to Fly Remos to the West Coast. (I'm not counting the day it took to get to Mount Vernon, Illinois, for the Midwest LSA Expo.) Launching Monday morning under clear skies (that extra day to wait out a low pressure system paid off big time), we made extremely good time on our first leg, flying about 3.5 hours and seeing a groundspeed of about 95 to 99 knots. We detoured about five miles off our path to fly by the St. Louis Arch, first asking the tower controller at St. Louis Downtown Airport if we could skim the edge of his airspace to meander up the Mississippi River a few miles.
Even with this little diversion, we did so well that we scrapped our first planned fuel stop at Jefferson, Missouri, and landed at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City. If you're a carnivore, you've got to have BBQ or a steak when you're in this part of the country, and so a Signature lineman obligingly took us to Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue downtown for a fantastic lunch, followed by a quick tour of Union Station. Trains have never interested me as being anything more than a mode of transportation, but the history and architecture of this place drew me in nonetheless. They have a model train setup that rivals anything you've seen.
Our second leg brought us to Wichita Mid-Continent in downtown Wichita, where we spent the night in Cessna country. Yingling Aviation personnel came out to view the Remos and compare notes with the Skycatcher, recently brought onto the rental line here. Yingling is also an assembly center for the Skycatcher.
Our fantastic lunch was followed by an amazing dinner at Hangar One Steakhouse, a few blocks from the airport. Owned by a retired Cessna employee, this restaurant is almost beyond description. I'll throw out a few details: door handles made of props, tables constructed of rotary engines; quotes from Bob Hoover and other greats on the walls; waitstaff who wear captain's shirts; a bartender in a flight suit. And that's not even talking about the food.
Today we set out for Oklahoma and wonder of wonders, it looks like we'll even have a tailwind! Our tentative plans are for Oklahoma City or Gainesville, Texas.

LUMBERTON � Leaders in Robeson County have joined the East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine in announcing plans to build a center designed to help low-income residents and dental students.
A community service learning center is to be built by ECU next to the Robeson County Health Department on land donated by the county.
Fourth-year dental students and dental residents will get to develop patient-care techniques and learn how to operate a community practice. The center will have 16 chairs and will employ local staff members. Up to five students will be at the center for nine-week rotations.
The school said the $3 million, 7,700-square-foot center is one of as many as 10 which ECU plans to build across the state. Two centers are already open in Ahoskie and Elizabeth City.

Rihanna has announced the title of her next single by posing topless with a dollar bill over her mouth.
The track 'Pour It Up' will be the second single from her seventh studio album 'Unapologetic', which is currently number one in the US Billboard album charts.
The controversial Grammy Award-winning singer posted the artwork for 'Pour It Up' on her Instagram account and shocked fans who thought her Chris Brown collaboration 'Nobody's Business' could be the next cut from her album.
LISTEN: Rihanna's next single...
PROFILE: How Long Can The 'Unapologetic' Pop Star Stay Afloat?
Rihanna recently came under fire after journalists complained that they were not given enough access to her after being flown around on her 777 Tour.
The Bajan star responded to criticism by telling Radio 1: "They all want you to host a party every time you get on the plane after a show but you really only have that time to sleep until you get to the next country.... Sometimes it was a two-hour ride to the next country and that was all the sleep you would get."
"I knew I had seven countries and seven shows and I had to save my voice," she told the station. "I didn't go crazy. I didn't party too hard."
The 777 tour took the singer and her guests to seven cities in seven days. Each night, Rihanna would perform an almost entirely consistent set at a somewhat intimate show.

Andy Murray made his first foray onto the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon's Centre Court as he begins his campaign for a first Grand Slam title.
The Brit baller struggled early on against Robert Kendrick and dropped the second set in a tiebreaker. However, he closed the last two sets out more easily completing a 7-5, 6-7 (3), 6-3, 6-4 win over the American. Stats: 58% first serve, 20 aces, 52 winners against 19 errors, and 19 of 22 net approaches.
Andy also debuted the Fred Perry outfit he revealed last week in London. However, instead of the cream tennis sweater the third seed was donning a crisp looking cream warm up jacket:
I thought the only bonus we'd get from this great FP gear would be a little more leg with the shorter shorts (and we still do - thankfully) but I was wrong. I HEART this jacket in a major way.
IMO, best boy's outfit this year. Period.
PS - I vote for "Murray's Mound" instead of "Mt. Murray". Anyone wanna join me?!

FASHION FIX: Andy begins Wimby campaign in high style

I agree. Love the outfit. He usually looks like he doesn't care with the clothes he wears, but this is really working well.ReplyDelete
Definitely the best dressed guy of the tournament. Never thought I would actually say that, but his look is everything Fed tried (and failed) to be!ReplyDelete
Fed must be crying his eyes out about that...
It just goes to show what a little tailoring can do for you. He went from meh to Wow!ReplyDelete
And that Kendrick guy he played? Hottie in training.
Oh, I forgot. Can we have a moment of silence for the passing of Marat's hotness from Wimby?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 23, 2009 at 1:34 PM
no way, Roger looks totally hot and Murray is sooo far away from that.ReplyDelete
natch: *silence*ReplyDelete
okay, now Kendrick - he's swimming in that outfit, esp those shorts/skort.
We need to know what's going on underneath, what he's hiding. I'm on it natch.
*launches investigation*
- AnonymousJune 23, 2009 at 1:41 PM
I still don't like MacMopey, but this is HANDS-DOWN the best male outfit this year.ReplyDelete
Not that the standard to beat was high, but it probably would be the top or close to the top, even in the best of style years
Def, Richie. Kendrick's outfit was such a skort/culotte moment. The shirt was too big too. He needs Andy's tailor, or to get good and famous, quick (and have a tailor provided).ReplyDelete
But the face, look at his face. Hotness around the bend. I'm glad you're sniffing around for it.
And thanks for the Marat moment.
Tin: true enough - it's just cool classicReplyDelete
natch: Whose bend should I be looking around? Sorry, part of the investigation. Just the facts, please.
Spot-on Rich, you are so on top of this stuff.ReplyDelete
Grins & Giggles,
You seeeeeeeeee.ReplyDelete
See what a haircut and spiffy outfit does for a man?? Seeeeeeeeee.
Why was I the only one seeing his hotness before this?? WHY????
Andy I <3 U
- TrompeteraJune 23, 2009 at 2:07 PM
He looks great!ReplyDelete
ATP #2 should learn from you Andy.
Fred Perry's all class.Outfit is pure perfection with the so white white, and that sailor blue, just love it.BUT the fshort are too short, that I def dislike.It makes his legs kinda feminine in those, and oh that picture with his ahem almost falling out is yucky.ReplyDelete
babz: Your MuzzLove is well-known, at least around these here parts. I completely support it.ReplyDelete
tessa: I was hoping for more "ahem" in the shot but no such luck. Boo.
- AnonymousJune 23, 2009 at 2:52 PM
The shorts could be even shorter (think Borg) but I commend Muzz for his efforts to reveal a little more thigh. Side note: I would die if Rafa strapped on a pair of these! His legs are delish! Oooh I miss Rafa...ReplyDelete
ANYWAYS...good match for Murray today. I liked that Kendrick put up a good fight and I liked it even more when Murray stepped up to the plate and snatched the victory. I think this should only help Muzz and he will get better & better as the tourney goes on. Go Muzz!
Tessa, I can only hope we actually get to see his "ahem"... You guys can visit me in the hospital, getting treatment for spontaneous combustion.ReplyDelete
Hmm. I don't really want to see Murray's "ahem" or Mount Murray or Murray's Mound or whatever the phrase may be... But he does look nice. As soon as the hair is gone, he'll look nicer. I'm def for the short shorts, tho.ReplyDelete
Rafa in the short shorts?...pass the smelling salts and fire extinguisher.
- AnonymousJune 23, 2009 at 3:32 PM
This is a nice stylish outfit. Too bad it can't cover up his ugliness.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 23, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Simple is better, Federer. Learn from Murray. You look messy and pompous, Murray looks spiffy.ReplyDelete
Even a not-so-handsome guy looks good when dressed carefully.
Rich, may I snag these pics? Can't find the ones with him still wearing the jacket. I need more sleep....ReplyDelete
Love the jacket, love the whole outfit, love him doing well.ReplyDelete
MOUNT MURRAY. Yes...this.
Babz: yes of course!ReplyDelete
B2012: well when you put it like that how can one resist?
The men need to take note and make the shorts shorter. Fabrice Santoro and Fernando Gonzalez need to do this immediately. My love for Murray has increased after seeing his Wimby kit.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 23, 2009 at 7:29 PM
great outfit, didn't expect this from murray, but i think he has very little to do with it. perry is a british brand, and the brits do dandy better than anyone (and I mean dandy in a good way).ReplyDelete
however, i think saying that fed looks bad is unfair. he def missed with the warm-up attire, but his tournament wear is still sharp, as always.
this looks good because it's not as try-hard as roger's outfitReplyDelete
and there's not a man alive who doesn't benefit from a good haircut
off topic: anyone know what caused hot twink grigor dimitrov to retire from his match?
OHHHHHH YES. Pure class. Pure style. Two thumbs up for Muzzymuzz. *hops onto bandwagon*ReplyDelete
Roger, watch and learn, dammit!
- AnonymousJune 24, 2009 at 6:20 AM
Watch and learn Fed.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 24, 2009 at 6:37 AM
Rich, it seems Fed actually has a much nicer casual jacket which is much better. Here is the link:http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/88657500/Getty-Images-SportReplyDelete

Murray managed to upstage Federer's glamour with a simple yet elegant outfit that was tailor made to fit him and Wimbledon's style of elegance, and not one that screams pompously "I'm Roger Federer I'm King of the World!!!"ReplyDelete
Federer must have been shamed because he didn't wear his getup today, preferring a vest instead.
Score one for Murray.

Colombia Los Naranjos de Huila
Today we are roasting a pooled Colombia lot from a hundred or so small growers at elevations ranging from 1,600 to 1,900 meters. This is an interesting coffee because it has good qualities at a wide range of roasts from C+ all the way to Vienna. We roasted the samples to four different levels and chose the darkest version which was Full City. When I tried to replicate this roast on the Probat the first batch hit first crack at 405 degrees near the 14:30 mark. Final roast time was 17:00 and I stopped the roast when the thermo-probe hit 438. After grinding up a sample of the target roast and my first batch I compared the color and it looked like I went a little bit too light. Subsequent batches are being taken up to 442 degrees and I'll blend in the slightly lighter first batch--you might want to know that I am roasting 11 total batches today (not to mention 6 batches of Espresso, and 2 batches of Decaf!) so the light beans will be less than 10% of the total beans roasted. The nice thing about a coffee like this is blending a few different roast levels together sometimes yields better results in the cup than just having one roast level. I'm hoping to succeed in getting that dynamic cup Tom speaks of in the review that is both bright and balanced.

May 29, 2016
The Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled that two ballot initiatives on personhood and eminent domain can appear the Nov. 8 general election ballot.
The court Thursday dismissed challenges filed by opponents.
In each case, a majority of justices said it was not time to raise constitutional issues.
The court reinforced its own opinion issued in 2000, which said justices could not review the constitutionality of an initiative until the measure is approved by voters.
The personhood and eminent domain amendments will join a third one, voter ID, on the November ballot.
The state Election Commission meets Friday to finalize the
sample ballot that will be sent to counties.
A Hinds County judge had earlier rejected opponents' arguments against the personhood and eminent domain amendments.

Wish I had found this rack sooner!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Please consider my advice, for the Sake of Your Bike,
BUY A PLATFORM RACK. The common Hanging Rack causes your bike to sway and scratch your car, and more importantly, they can really damage your Top Tube and cause scratches all throughout your bike, with other bikes dangling and smacking against your frame and components.
First, let me be upfront and address the number one complaint that others have stated about this rack. It's Weight and the potential to cause dents in your car's trunk lid and bumper. This is a real problem, BUT it's not only Thule's problem, other non-hitch mounted platform racks have the same problem and it can absolutely be avoided.
Here's how: Take four standard 12 x 12 Microfiber Cloths and fold them into fourths. Put the microfiber cloths underneath each contact point. The microfiber cloths make a solid buffer between the rack and your car.
From a design standpoint, the 9003 has some really good concepts executed. First, the rack can be adjusted to allow for use on just about any non-hatchback car. That said, I was able to get the 9003 Platform rack to fit on a Toyota Prius.
The locking mechanism on the rack itself is good, but only locks down one side of the rack. In theory, a punk thief could loosen one side then loosen the other. That said, the locking mechanism on the individual arms that drop down on top of each bike's top tube is very solid. If you tighten it good, then lock it, it would pretty tough for a thief to get your bike out, especially if it was still attached to the car.
+ Platform rack protects your bike from unnecessary scratches dangling from the back of your car
+ Fits most non-hatchback cars (sedans)
- Locking mechanism on the rack could use some improvement
+ Make sure to use thick microfiber cloths between rack and contact points on car
+ Jiggle the bike on rack while tightening the lock mechanism on the bike's top tube for tighter squeeze
+ Use the arms to hold platform rack when folded up

I used the Zimbra Desktop on my Windows XP SP3 dutch system for quite a while and I never had a problem. Untill one day (nothing special happened as far as I know) I suddenly got the error: Cannot get access to the Zimbra Desktop server. If the problem persists after reinstallation check logs and visit the Zebra forum (as I translated the error from dutch, the english errormessage might be a bit different).
I rebooted my PC sveral times, restarted Zimbra several times. The error persists.
Than I donwloaded the latest version from the website: zdesktop_7_1_4_ga_b11299_win32.msi
When I open this I get the options repair/uninstall (so my guess would be that I am already running this version, as the top option is grayed out)
You can see the green progress bar start and it goes all the way to the right. And just when you think it is finished it gives the error: A network error occured while attemting to read from the file c:\download\update.msi (the file: zdesktop_7_1_4_ga_b11299_win32.msi is located from and started from c:\download)
I downloaded the zdesktop_7_1_4_ga_b11299_win32.msi again to make sure that there wasn't a fault in downloading the file, but that didn't make any difference.
Can someone tell me what to do?? Am I missing update.msi and how can I get it, or should the zdesktop_7_1_4_ga_b11299_win32.msi create this file which for some reason it doesn't???
Kind regards,
Clemens Linders

So thanks to Nike for sending over a sneak peek at Roger Federer's US Open duds.
Like last year, the former no. 1 (still sounds funny, huh?) will be working two different looks for the occasion. He'll debut the Federer Sphere React Cool Manhattan Polo ($60) in smoke/comet red/white which features a closed placket and double seams running down the front. The shirt is lacking some detailing, though - it seems flat though the color gives some pop.
The shirt is paired with the Swiss stylist's fave Control Short ($45) in smoke - which I'm totally loving. adidas used grey earlier in the season on Nole but this darker tone is great for fall.
As for the second outfit...well, let's say I'm having flashbacks of a certain someone's catsuit:
Addtionally, Nike is offering the headband ($12) and wristbands ($10) in smoke (though I highly doubt he'll be wearing an all-smoke outfit - gag) and the comet + white Air Zoom Vapor V ($115)he sported in Beijing.

oh, no. no, no, no.ReplyDelete
Uh. I don't like both of these outfits. I don't know, maybe when it's on Fed the color would work better, but seeing it like this, it's just dead.ReplyDelete
This outfit kinda makes me yawn. But yeah, maybe it's better when Fed is wearing it.ReplyDelete
Very distrubing picture of Serena though...

it must all be about the accessories?! I hope so! (do you know what they will be rich?)ReplyDelete

They're just too tight....and Roger is very lean, this'll just make him look too....feminine. I hope he wears them a bit more loose than what they're showing on the manequins...this I think is just one size too small for him...this ain't swimming you know ;pReplyDelete
oh that's just way too much ugly to the square inch.ReplyDelete
I love them both! I love red, & I love gray.ReplyDelete
...I don't understand this ugly poop colour they're bringing in for both Roger's & Ana's outfits. Why oh why. On top of that, I totally agree with anon @ 8:36, such tight shirts on Roger will make him look all kinds of awkward. =\ I just hope they'll look better in person...& PLEASE don't wear matching shoes like you did with the Darth look, Roger, lol.ReplyDelete
The red and smoke looks good, I think, but the all-smoke looks almost horrific.ReplyDelete
Funny how contrasting colors makes all the difference!
- AnonymousAugust 21, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Too much black.ReplyDelete
The fit of this polo looks like the fit of the polos he wore in the spring. I have the dark obsidian + white version he wore at Roland Garros and while it's not baggy by any means it's also not skin tight. I think it looks tight because of the body form the polo is being shown on (I think that's a Rafa mannequin - hehe.)ReplyDelete
Mereana - just updated the post with accessories. Nike didn't send them but I found smoke versions of his headband and wristbands - smoke is a limited edition colorway specifically for the US Open. I don't think he'll wear all smoke like I mentioned in my post though. He'll wear the Vapors he wore in Beijing most likely.
i love the red outfit. the all-smoke one is too...well, smokey =).ReplyDelete
do you have rafa's us open outfit? thanks.
fed's outfit looks like a wet suit.ReplyDelete

Here's info on the jacket via Nike media relations:
"The jacket sold out of Niketown and the booth,
but they are making new ones which will be available shortly. I'm still
waiting on a date, but will let you know when I do."

NFPA® Certificate Program FAQs
What is an NFPA certificate?An NFPA "certificate of educational achievement" recognizes that an individual has successfully met the requisites of an NFPA certificate program, including attainment of the training program's learning objectives. It is issued after an individual has successfully completed the required training program and has obtained a passing score on an examination. The examination is based solely on the educational content of the classroom training and will take the form of an open book examination.
What does my certificate of educational achievement mean? (Certificate Inference)Your certificate of educational achievement demonstrates that you have met the educational objectives of the NFPA training program you attended. It makes no claims as to your proficiency in conducting any specific task or job.
Why should I participate in an NFPA certificate program? (Certificate Purpose)NFPA certificate programs are based on established best practices in adult education. NFPA certificate programs go beyond NFPA's traditional classroom trainings by measuring your knowledge on the subject matter taught, and awarding certificates of educational achievement, which demonstrate that you have achieved the educational objectives of the training program you attended.
Who should get an NFPA certificate of educational achievement?Professionals who are looking to document that they understand the core concepts found within the training program in which they have participated.
What is the difference between a certificate of educational achievement and a professional certification?A "certificate of educational achievement" is awarded after the completion of an NFPA certificate program. It recognizes that an individual has successfully completed the requisites of a one-time educational course or training program. NFPA certificate programs are not what are generally known as professional certifications. Professional certifications are typically programs that certify professional or occupational competence and require certain prerequisites such as education, years of experience, successfully passing an examination, and ongoing eligibility requirements (such as retesting or participating in a minimum number of educational activities). While an NFPA certificate of educational achievement is a valuable recognition of educational achievement that can enhance your professional development, there is no professional or other credential associated with a certificate and certificate holders may not claim to be certified, licensed, accredited, or registered to engage in a specific occupation or profession.
How do I know NFPA certificate programs are of a high quality?NFPA training follows established best practices in adult education, and conforms to ANSI/IACET 1-2007 Standard for Continuing Education and Training.
What type of examination is used?NFPA certificate programs use an online, open book examination as an assessment tool. The exam consists of multiple choice questions based on the content found within the program.
What are the requirements for obtaining a certificate of educational achievement? (Certificate Requirements)Individuals must participate in 90% of the certificate program as required by ANSI/IACET 1-2007, and measured by attendance forms distributed during the program. Individuals must also receive a minimum passing grade on the examination at the conclusion of the training program. Individuals must also agree not to disclose the contents of the examination nor reproduce examination materials.
What if I need an accommodation to take the examination?Participants with sensory, visual, orthopedic, or other disabilities that would prevent them from taking the examination under standard conditions may request special accommodations and considerations. You must submit a written request, at the time you register, that explains the disability (i.e., the diagnosis), the type of accommodation you feel is appropriate, and attach supporting documentation of the diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional. For information on submitting a request for accommodation please call 508-895-8367. After receiving the request and appropriate documentation, NFPA will contact you to confirm the special accommodation arrangements.
What if I don't pass the examination?The certificate program is designed to effectively convey the core knowledge needed to pass the examination, and most individuals with a reasonable amount of study and review will pass the examination. Individuals who do not pass the examination may elect to retake the examination. Re-taking of the examination must be completed before NFPA discontinues the certificate program on the edition of the code or standard that the participant received training on.
Do I have to renew my certificate of educational achievement?The certificate of educational achievement acknowledges an individual's attainment of the intended learning objectives from a specific certificate program. The information presented in the training is based on current knowledge and practice and/or on a specific code edition. Therefore, NFPA recommends remaining current with the latest codes and standards by periodically participating in appropriate NFPA certificate programs as your field and as code and standards evolve and update.
What if I have a complaint regarding the outcome of my certificate program?NFPA endeavors to deal with any individual's complaint in a constructive and timely manner. Informal complaints, such as complaints made on evaluation forms, will be reviewed by the appropriate NFPA staff and any necessary action for improvement will be taken. Formal complaints may be submitted to the division manager of NFPA's professional development department in writing via email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by mail at NFPA, Fulfillment Center, 11 Tracy Drive, Avon, MA 02322. Formal complaints will be reviewed and responded to within 30 days.
Does NFPA keep a record of the classroom trainings and certificate programs I've attended?Yes. NFPA maintains confidential and secured records of all participants' training as required by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training. These records are kept for seven years. If you ever need to document your past training, you may log in to your "My Training Page" on the NFPA website and view the educational products you have purchased. To have an official transcript sent to you, contact NFPA professional development in writing via e-mail, or by mail at NFPA, Fulfillment Center, 11 Tracy Drive, Avon, MA 02322.

I love this snorkel! I am a beginner, and had one incident where I had not blown all of the water out the day before. When I went in the water the next day I could hear this gurgling sound and then some water came in as I inhaled. I got scared, but after blowing the water out good I couldnt hear the gurgling anymore and it was dry from then on. I was snorkeling off Kauai, so the waves would come over the snorkel end quite a bit. I had no problems after I figured out the gurgling warning and blew it out each day.

I wanted to find the perfect mask for my husband, who has a strong lens prescription and also has a moustache. It took a while, but after reading the other reviews about this mask, it was the one I decided to try. I ordered the purge valve version, which only comes with the clear mask, because thats what the guys with moustaches were liking. My husband had never snorkeled before and I wanted him to have a positive experience. This mask did the job perfect! My husband even commented that he could see better with the masks prescription lenses than with his glasses, and joked that he would wear the mask to do his computer work. No leaking to speak of, and if there is a little then the purge valve takes care of it. I decided that I would order one for myself too, only in black with no purge valve and no prescription lenses, since I dont wear glasses and dont have a moustache (yet). I love my mask too!

We ordered this bag because it was smaller than some of the other diving bags, and we just needed a nice bag for 2 sets of snorkel gear. It still has tons of room, enough for 2 masks, 2 snorkels, 2 sets of fins, 2 life vests and a couple of beach towels. We checked it as baggage on our trip and it held up fine. A big plus for me is that it does not stink inside with offgassing like some bags do. The padded form fitting shoulder strap was comfortable.

I ordered these to wear with my slightly too large fins, and they make the fins fit perfect and are so comfortable! When I went to order, I saw a review from a woman with size 9 feet like me. She advised to get 2 sizes smaller, so I ordered a size 7. When my order arrived I received a size 6 instead, which I thought would be too small. I tried them on and they fit, snug but comfortable. I kept the size 6 and really like them. So you could order 2 to 3 sizes smaller than your shoe size for a perfect fit.
