"Buying my home through Martin was painless and, may I say, great fun. All his contacts were friendly and offered sound and good advice. He was there for me at every stage of the buying process and met me whenever I needed to discuss matters, often at very short notice."
|Building in Spain
I am extremely grateful to the Granada architect, Pedro Santamaria Grant, who has produced the following detailed document as a guide to all those clients who are investigating the possibility of building a property on rural land (country locations) in Spain's Costa Tropical. Pedro, English speaking, is in deed very understanding and sympathetic to the needs of his clients. His knowledge of local history and facts is immense, and for the many who know him he is a very trustworthy and outspoken character.
This document can also be easily adapted as a guideline to those who are considering building a bespoke property on an urban plot; noting that the requirements for an Activity Project, Environmental Survey and/or the Water-Drainage survey will not be necessary. It is important to realise that this process is essential to legalise your property investment and that from start to finish (including average build time) can take up to 24 months before obtaining the keys to your new home. Not forgetting too the need to ensure that you are able to obtain a 10 years builders guarantee for the project. This guarantee, while not obligatory in Spain for individuals building a property for their own use; it is nevertheless important to have it in place if you require to mortgage, obtain third party financing or expect to sell the property in the first 10 years.
ON NON URBAN ie RURAL OR RUSTIC PLOTS
Spain has very simple but strict building regulations, these cover all facets of the building process and also the way that the building functions. Particular emphasis is placed on thermal performance, acoustic performance, energy conservation, and the resistance of the building to seismic activity.
There are special regulations concerning hotels, public dining services, swimming pools, sports facilities and equipment.
In non-urban situations the promoter must have proof that he can obtain the services required to carry out the specified activity, Water, Electricity, access etc. This means having a contract for them from a competent body.

a) Documents describing the general characteristics of the building work, with justification of the solution adopted, referring to the clients brief and the building regulations and town planning requirements.
b) Plans to scale of the floors elevations and section.
c) Plans with dimensions.
d) Plans of layout, foundations, structure, services, structural details carpentry etc.
e) Specification, list of legal requirements and regulations.
f) Measured bill of quantities. With prices based on the standard format of government prices, and if required at real prices.
g) Standard form of contract for building work.
h) The architect is required to provide 5 copies of the documents at each stage; the client or the builder as required pays for extra copies. These copies are used as follows:
1 for the Aparejador (Quantity Surveyor), 1 for the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall), and 3 to the Client (2 to be given to the builder.)
Technical responsibility during construction.
a) Direct the work, coordinating this with the project, facilitating the technical, economic and aesthetic interpretation.

Although hamsters are rodents, they still require special care. Just as humans care for themselves, hamsters must be housed, fed, and cleaned properly. They also require interaction with humans; yet if their owner is not around, toys or other playthings must be provided. The following guides are designed to assist you in the care of your hamsters. They are tips that I have learned after caring for hamsters, yet you may alter them to your own discretion.
Hamsters are solitary animals; although siblings may be housed together during the first ten weeks of their lives, they will soon become territorial and fight with one another. In addition, if a male is housed with a female there is the possibility that the female will produce babies, since hamsters are sexually mature at six weeks of age. Therefore, it is best if you keep your hamster in his or her own home. The best type of housing is either an aquarium (at least 10 gallons) or a metal cage whose bars are close enough together so that your hamster cannot squeeze through the bars. If you place your hamster in an aquarium, make sure that you purchase a lid that fits snugly onto the top of it. Some pet shops also sell cage clips to assure extra protection against a hamster escaping. To provide a nesting area as well as a material to absorb the hamster smell and excrements, you will need to purchase pet bedding. For my hamsters, I use a pet bedding called CareFresh. It is environmentally friendly, recycled, and biodegradable. It is also very absorbent.
Once you have established a secure housing facility, it is necessary to purchase food, a food dish, and a water bottle. Hamsters' food and water must be refreshed on a daily basis. Some of my hamsters enjoy sitting in their food bowls as they eat their food. Therefore, depending on your hamster's personality, you may consider purchasing a food bowl that is large enough for the hamster to sit in. The bowl must also be heavy enough so that the hamster cannot tip it. I feed my hamsters a variety of seed blends by Kaytee. Feed your hamster about 2 tablespoons of food daily. Hamsters also enjoy eating fresh fruits and vegetables (don't feed them too many carrots, though; they then suffer from diarrhea). Often times at pet shops you may see vitamins that are either added to the hamster's food or water. However, if you feed your hamster a nutritious diet, these vitamins are not necessary. Because hamsters eat a high protein diet, a constant supply of water is mandatory. Often times hamsters chew through soft plastic water bottles. To prevent this from occurring, purchase a hard plastic water bottle or a water bottle that is held by a bottle guard.
Because you cannot be with your hamster 24 hours a day, it is important that your hamster has toys so that he or she may amuse him- or herself. First, a wheel is the typical hamster toy. Hamsters love to run around and can amuse themselves for hours at a time while you are away. However, hamsters should not be allowed to run around in their wheels constantly. They become exhausted and dehydrated. Therefore, place the wheel in the cage during the day when you are away, but remove the wheel when you go to bed at night. Your hamster will be able to rest and you will not be bothered by the constant spinning of the wheel. Hamsters also love to burrow not only beneath their bedding but through tunnels as well. Companies who sell plastic cages for hamsters (which the hamsters chew through and then escape) also manufacture tunnels that can be connected to cages. However, these tunnels may be placed in your hamster's aquarium or metal cage. Hamsters also enjoy sleeping in nests. I have purchased nesting houses by a company called Small Animal Kingdom (what's great is there are coupons on the sides of the boxes so that you can buy more great toys from the company!). I also place Kleenex inside the hamsters' homes so they have a nice, cozy place to sleep. Hamsters should also be giving chewing blocks. Their teeth continuously grow; if your hamster does not have something to chew on in order to file down his teeth, the teeth will grown into his gums. This is very painful for the hamster as you can imagine. You can also give treat sticks (also made by Kaytee) to your hamster so he can file his teeth.
Surprisingly, hamsters are very clean creatures. They organize their cages so that they have one area to sleep, another to perform bodily functions, and yet another to eat. The bedding inside the aquarium or cage should be changed once or twice a week. This involves dumping out the old bedding, and exchanging it with fresh bedding. The toys (e.g. the wheel, tunnels) should be washed in warm, soapy water once a week. The hamsters entire aquarium or cage should be cleaned twice a month. The bedding is emptied and the aquarium or cage is cleaned with warm, soapy water using a washcloth or scrubbing brush. It must then be thoroughly rinsed and dried and fresh bedding may be placed inside. At this time you can also clean the toys. Hamsters themselves do not require baths; in the wild, they bathe themselves in sand. I have tried to introduce my hamsters to chinchilla bath sand, but they do not seem to like it. It is important, if you have a teddybear (longhair hamster) that you brush his hair with a soft bristled brush. Pet shops sell brushes specifically made for hamsters.
If your hamster ever seems ill to you, take him or her to an emergency clinic right away. I once had a hamster die from congenital meningitis because she had appeared ill, yet I did not take her to the veterinarian clinic right away. I am not saying that your hamster is going to contract a fatal disease; I am saying to monitor your hamster carefully for any sudden changes in behavior. Since not all animal hospitals specialize in exotic animal care, call your local animal hospitals and ask them if they can provide emergency care for your hamster in the case that a situation arises. I took one of my hamster to East Brunswick Animal Hospital; the doctor was very understanding and took excellent care of my hamster. So, if your hamster is listless, shows a loss of appetite, is immobile and generally appears to be ill, bring him or her to a veterinarian.

Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs emerged victorious once again. You can now address him as Dr. Combs.
Howard University, the prestigious historically black institution of education stationed in Northwest D.C. since 1867, is known for its notable alumni and celebrated homecoming festivities. Despite the attention it receives, Howard's homecoming is far less important in magnitude than another annual occurrence: Graduation. On Saturday, one of its most renowned former students, Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs, delivered the convocation oration and was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Humanities. Of all his name changes, including the recent switch back to "Puff Daddy," the christening of Dr. Sean Combs is the most powerful. Furthermore, all controversy regarding his appointment as graduation speaker fizzled out, because Combs did what he's always done in the end—succeeded.
The announcement that Combs would serve as the speaker at Howard's 146th Commencement ceremony was met with skepticism. On one hand, there was the ecstatic graduating class who can now stake a claim in the "Who had the best graduation speaker?" debate. This group bleeds over into the next category: Combs supporters who were just happy to see the man add something else to an already impressive resume. But there was also the crowd who didn't believe Combs was an appropriate selection as a graduation speaker for frivolous reasons.
After completing two years at Howard, Combs dropped out in 1990. The former business major made the decision to take the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work for Andre Harrell's Uptown Records. For some, Combs' status as a college dropout destroyed his credibility as a college graduation speaker. Do the same people recall that Oprah Winfrey, the 2007 commencement speaker, dropped out of Tennessee State University in 1976 to start her career? Or how about the fact that Maya Angelou, another previous speaker, never even went to college. In the end, the massive controversy surrounding his selection was unwarranted, because he proved to be the best person for the job.
By selecting Combs, Howard picked the ideal speaker in terms of relevance to the audience and university. Students still flock to Howard inspired by Combs and the empire he's built. He's a relatable figure, someone who could truly rouse graduates with his words of motivation, and because of their shared experience. The fact that Sean Combs never completed his undergraduate studies at Howard is irrelevant. It didn't stop him from conquering life in various avenues, just like it didn't stop him from fulfilling his responsibility as commencement speaker, which was reaching listeners. The critics, who he's shot past in life, can't take that away from him. Also, considering Howard's recent financial struggles and previous president Dr. Sidney Ribeau's sudden election to step down early in the school year, this was a perfect way to end it on a high note.
"I want to thank everyone who made it possible for me to come back home," Combs said. Interim Howard University President Dr. Wayne Frederick introduced Combs as a "son of Howard," and Combs himself said the Howard community—from professors to classmates—became his family when he was in need. Even if you set out on a journey—like college, for example—you can always come home to your family. Speaking of family, Combs said that learning the true nature of his father's death in a drug deal gone awry while at Howard was a pivotal moment in his life.
"I made a conscious effort to follow the entrepreneurial spirit of my father, the legal way," he said. That led to his decision to take the opportunity at Uptown Records, a decision he revealed that his Howard professors supported. The decision to leave school isn't an easy one. I watched people do it during my time at Howard, and it didn't always work out for them. Saying Combs' decision paid off is quite the understatement, so that's even more reason for the Howard community to celebrate his success. That, and the fact that he credits those two years at Howard with shaping who he is.

Why not enter some details and get an accurate price?
- Family-friendly park in Nijar
- Sports ground for tennis, pétanque, football and more
- Large pool and solarium
As we might have gleefully mentioned before, the Andalucian region of Almeria is the driest in Europe, and so arid that it's also the site of the continent's only desert. (Westerns have been shot in cactus-filled Tabernas for decades.)
So as you'd might expect, it's all very sunny round these here parts too: the region around Camping Los Escullos, a family-friendly park in Nijar, gets about 328 days of solid sun a year and temperatures very rarely drop below 20 degrees Celsius.
Outdoor sports can be had in this climate all year round, so Los Escullos has set up its site accordingly, adding a sports ground for guests to tackle tennis, pétanque, football, basketball and volleyball. Less energetically, there's a big outdoor pool heated by solar panels, a spacious solarium with deckchairs and parasols, and free wifi in all areas.
The Camping Los Escullos pitches all have access to the site amenities of two loo blocks with hot showers (heated with solar energy in summer and with gas in winter), disabled facilities, a washing-up area and a laundry room with tumble dryer.
Another sunny little touch here? The site playground is next to the Los Escullos restaurant, so you can keep a beady eye on the kids while you tuck into some tasty local nosh.

rolled around, I was soo glad I had plenty of leftover sweet potato soup from last night to enjoy.
This afternoon, I snacked on an apple and some almonds before heading off to a meeting. After my meeting, I met Joe for dinner at one of our favorite local Italian bistros, Bria. I got my favorite dish there, which is grilled trout with shoestring sweet potatoes and a crab and arugula salad. It's pretty hard to beat!

ORONO, Maine (AP) — The University of Maine men's hockey team is traveling to UMass-Lowell for a best-of-three Hockey East series that kicks off the conference tournament.
The teams face off on Thursday night and again on Friday night. If a third game is needed, it'll be played on Sunday.
The Black Bears clinched the eighth and final playoff spot with a win and a tie at New Hampshire last weekend. UMass-Lowell won the conference's regular season title beating Providence on Saturday.
During the season, Maine won two out of three games against the River Hawks.
Maine has played UMass-Lowell 15 times in previous Hockey East tournaments, winning 14 of those games.

On abortion: Disabled babies deserve a chance at life; Their souls deserve a chance at better bodies
Pro-life rally deserves better play
My daughter participated in the March for Life Rally on Saturday in downtown Dallas. She came home so energized and excited about the huge turnout, I could not wait to read about it on Sunday. After searching in the usual places and not finding any coverage, I had to tell my daughter that the paper did not bother to cover the event.
Imagine my surprise when I finally found the story — in the OBITS section! Are you saying the pro-life movement is dead? Shame on you, Dallas Morning News; the pro-life movement deserves much more!
Vicki Ryan, Dallas
Give disabled babies chance at life
Re: "A pregnancy, an abortion and a story to tell," by Steve Blow, Sunday Metro column.
As a pediatrician who takes care of many single, lower-socioeconomic mothers of developmentally disabled children, I feel very sorry for Nicole Stewart and her baby. I empathize with her ordeal and I empathize with the pain of bearing and raising a disabled child.
But I also disagree that the baby should not be given a chance to live nor have a choice in the matter. Many disabled children can live meaningful lives even if they don't fit into our construct of "healthy." I have many patients who live in wheelchairs, are beset with never-ending seizures, are fed by tubes, etc. Yet their lives have much meaning and are the source for much life-giving love within families.
I also disagree that "the government should not become involved" in patient care. This is rhetoric. They are already routinely involved. They are involved in my practice and my patient decisions as a pediatrician every day.
Dr. Cesar Termulo Jr., East Dallas
Give soul a chance at better body
The new law banning abortion after 20 weeks diabolically targets women who discover that a fetus is defective during their standard 20-week sonogram. So the law has an exception for "severe abnormality," without defining it. How many hands, feet, arms or legs must be missing? By the time the courts decide, the baby will have been carried to term.
I'd suggest that the underlying problem is not specific to abortion or women's issues. It's more generally the question of when an advancing civilization is going to experience true spiritual awakening and rid the planet of all religious fundamentalism. Parents who terminate an unhealthy fetus give a soul the chance to find a healthier body and experience a far better life. And why the hang-ups about death? Personally, I've experienced quite a few and remember several. No big deal at all.

While London-based Diageo Plc (DGE) won't say exactly how much, the world's largest distiller last year produced 701,000 metric tons of carbon emissions, equal to about 0.6 pounds for each bottle sold, or what comes out of your car's tailpipe over three-fourths of a mile. The owner of the Johnnie Walker brand is working to voluntarily reduce emissions to help sustainability and boost the corporate bottom line.

Christmas this year was definitely preferable to the 2011 edition which involved full outdoor training (Christmas Day and Boxing Day!) as the GB squad were preparing for the Champions Trophy in Argentina. Our diets were so strict back then as we headed into an Olympic year that I can't remember enjoying a mince pie or a glass of mulled wine at all so it was nice to have a much more relaxed Christmas this year!
Before Christmas the whole GB women's hockey squad met up to go to the Sports Personality of the Year Awards which was just amazing. It was like walking into a party with all your sporting gods including one Mr. David Beckham (!) and everybody was really relaxed and up for a good time. Even at the after party Sir Bradley Wiggins got on stage and played Wonderwall with Rick Parfitt Junior's band! I thought Mo Farah might have got into the top three for his incredible long distance double at the Olympics but having said that Bradley, Jessica and Andy fully deserved their awards.
It was very relaxing being at home for three weeks over Christmas doing all the usual things like seeing friends and family, going on long walks and of course eating and drinking. I also managed to get back to Lincoln Hockey Club, my first ever hockey club, to answer a few questions, have lots of photos and sign some kit for the girls and boys. They still have the same coach I had and it was great to take a trip down memory lane and see where it all began. Other than that it was all quite quiet as I have ten exams over the next few weeks and so my head was stuck in books for a lot of the time.
Hockey-wise it was great to take part in the Maxifuel Super Sixes indoor championships with Surbiton Ladies. I could only play in the opening weekend due to my law exams this month and we didn't start well with two defeats, a draw and a win leaving us perilously close to the relegation zone but the girls bounced back in the second weekend and we only missed out on promotion to the Premier Division by one place - promotion next year is a must! If you do get a chance to go to the Maxifuel Super Sixes Finals at Wembley Arena on Sunday January 27, I'd highly recommend it – it's such a fast and fun hockey format.
There's a bit of uncertainty around GB and England at the moment as our head coach, Danny Kerry, has become GB Hockey Performance Director while our assistant coach, Craig Parnham, is heading off to the States to coach the US women's hockey team. The year following an Olympics is always a chance to try and blood new players and there will be quite a new and untried England squad heading to South Africa in February for the Investec Challenge but I think we're all excited to see who our new coach is and what fresh ideas he or she will bring to the squad. As far as my own hockey playing is concerned it's back to training today (thrilled that it's coincided with a January cold snap!) to help get Surbiton a head start going into the second half of the Investec premier league.
Just a final note to say congratulations to England and GB hockey captain, Kate Walsh who has been elected to the British Olympic Association's Athletes' Commission. She is such a fantastic ambassador for our sport and we're lucky to have her!
To see how Georgie and her England teammates got on in the Investec Challenge, have a look at our highlights below.

Sailing to Byzantium
by William Butler Yeats
Sailing to Byzantium Theme of Man and the Natural World
Tennyson once wrote a pretty great poem about "nature, red in tooth and claw." In other words, nature can be pretty brutal. In Yeats's poem, that's certainly the case. No matter who (or what) you are, if you have a body, you're going to start decaying pretty quickly. The second we're born we begin to die. Most importantly, this means that there's absolutely no distinction between humankind and all the other creatures creeping, crawling, and flying around the planet. If you're Yeats, the natural world is for the birds. Seriously. Humans have the ability to be more than just flesh…it just takes a little work.
Questions About Man and the Natural World
- Is Byzantium part of the natural world?
- What is the relationship between art and nature in this poem?
Chew on This
The speaker's urge to evade the laws of nature leads him into an escapist fantasy that values art more than the life than art depicts.
"Sailing to Byzantium" is a sublime vision of the ways that art can amplify the beauty of the natural world.

Spare 25 rd Mag KJW M1911 CO2
$ 32.99
Spare 25 rd Mag KJW M1911 CO2 - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- Way better than green gas magThis mag has a very solid feel to it when you first pick it up. It is mostly made of metal, the only plastic parts are the bb lip and the thing that pushes the bbs up. Everything else is made of metal.
(almost) all metal
will fit 26 rounds
very durable (I dropped this mag onto pavement from about 4ft up and it barley came away with a scratch
big bulky thing on the bottom makes it easier to put the mag into the gun
much stronger kick than green gas
much cheaper than green gas
will fire as fast as you can pull the trigger
very hard to load
if you fire it fast from the beginning then the last 5-7 rounds might come out at a lower fps than the first ones (to fix this problem take the mag out and rap your hands around where the co2 canister is showing to warm it up
overall this is the best mag you can get for the KJW 1911 co2
- Worth It!I don't have much to add from what "a sniper" said above.
A few things to keep in mind with a CO2 mag is that while it lasts longer you have to be careful not to shoot too quickly or you might freeze and crack the seals in the gun but at the same time the CO2 should last you a lot longer.
I agree that at first the mag is difficult to load but once you get the hang of it you can do it as easy as any other pistol mag. The MEU 1911 actually comes with a loading tool that helps a lot. I found that if you pull the spring almost all the way down there is a larger gap where bbs can be poured or speed-loaded into the mag for reloading speed.
The mag is expensive but it's metal so be nice to it and it'll last.

GLENDALE – Anaheim Ducks forward Andrew Cogliano continues to make himself at home at Jobing.com Arena, but the Coyotes found a way to scratch and claw just enough to protect home ice against one of the National Hockey League's hottest teams on Saturday night.
Cogliano, who scored a natural hat trick here last Jan. 31 in a span of 6:51, did it again with a goal 16 seconds into play and two more in the second period. But the Coyotes rallied three times to force overtime – the last when Steve Sullivan scored with 6:29 left in regulation – and Sullivan scored the only goal of the shootout in a wild and entertaining 5-4 win against the Ducks.
The two Pacific Division foes play three straight games against each other – back here Monday night and Wednesday in Anaheim – but they will be hard-pressed to put on a better show. Phoenix goalie Mike Smith made 31 saves and stopped Nick Bonino, Corey Perry and Saku Koivu in the shootout.
Viktor Fasth stopped 33 shots for Anaheim and denied Mikkel Boedker and Lauri Korpikoski in the shootout. But Sullivan, who snapped a 14-game scoreless draught with his game-tying goal, beat Fasth between the pads for the extra point. It was Fasth's first loss in five shootouts this season.
The Ducks were playing for the second time in as many nights and for the fifth time in seven days and it showed it the third period.
"We want to be greedy and get the two points every chance you get, but in the last 10 minutes they were the better team," Anaheim Head Coach Bruce Boudreau said. "It was an entertaining game, just a little sloppy."
With Martin Hanzal and Radim Vrbata on injured reserve and the offense slumping, Phoenix Head Coach Dave Tippett challenged his remaining skilled scorers to shoulder more of the load and have a bigger impact on the game. Sullivan and Korpikoski, who snapped a 10-game slump with two goals, answered the call.
"I know how long it's been since I scored (Jan. 24 at San Jose) and when you go that long you're rushing and not as confident as you usually are," Sullivan said. "That's what I was brought here to do and it hasn't been going in, so I felt a lot of pressure. You just keep pushing."
Korpikoski's second goal tied the score, 3-3, 16 seconds into the third period. Matthew Lombardi also scored for Phoenix.
The Ducks lost center Kyle Palmieri to an upper-body injury in the first period and reunited the Perry-Ryan Getzlaf-Bobby Ryan line much of the night. But it was Cogliano, who has six goals and eight points in his past three games here, who did most of the damage.
"I can't really explain it. I felt like our line was playing well and I was shooting the puck and finding the net," said Cogliano, who has 19 points in 23 career games against Phoenix. "One was a pretty nice shot and then I was in the right spot found a way under (Smith) twice."
Cogliano started early. Just 21 seconds into the game, Phoenix couldn't clear its zone and Koivu found him all alone on the doorstep for an easy tap-in goal. The Coyotes also allowed a goal on Minnesota's first shot in a 4-3 loss on Thursday just 1:45 into play.
The Ducks made a serious bid to double their lead on their first power play, holding the puck in the Phoenix zone for the entire two minutes and forcing Smith to make eight saves, including big ones on Francois Beauchemin and Bonino.
That flipped the momentum, and Phoenix capitalized.
A blocked shot by Zbynek Michalek sent the play the other way, and Raffi Torres missed the net on a shot from the left wing. But the puck smacked off the boards behind the net and trickled near the far post, where Lombardi banked a shot off Fasth's shoulder – setting a seesaw night into motion.
Korpikoski snapped his slump and made it 2-1 for Phoenix 12:32 into the second, finding the top corner of the net when Fasth stabbed and missed at his drive. But the Phoenix lead lasted just 27 seconds as Cogliano went back to work.
He gobbled up a turnover in the neutral zone, used Rostislav Klesla as a screen, and his shot deflected off Klesla's stick to beat Smith to the short side at 12:59 to make it 2-2. Less than five minutes later, Cogliano took a Daniel Winnik pass in the left circle and completed the hat trick at 17:26 to put the Ducks back in front.
Korpikoski and the Coyotes needed 16 seconds of the third period to answer. Antoine Vermette won a battle for a popped-up puck behind the Anaheim net and pushed it to Korpikoski at the top of the slot. He beat Fasth to notch the seventh two-goal game of his career.
"It was a pretty sloppy game overall, and probably not the game we want to play," Korpikoski said. "… We knew they played last night so we threw everything at them to find a way to get those goals and we did and got the big two points."
Phoenix kept pressuring but lost its momentum when Kyle Chipchura was called for goaltender interference. Anaheim again dominated the power play, and four seconds before Chipchura left the box, Ryan found Koivu in the slot for a shot that trickled through Smith's pads at 6:25 to give Anaheim their third lead.
But the Ducks began to tire and the Coyotes turned up the heat. Boedker set up Oliver Ekman-Larsson for a blast that Fasth stopped, but the rebound slid up the slot where Sullivan was waiting to tie the score for the fourth time. Smith made three saves on an Anaheim 4-on-3 power play in overtime to give his team a chance in the shootout.
"I think we had a really good third period," Sullivan said. "We knew they played last night and we knew they were going to have some tired legs and we really put the full-court press on in the third period. We thought we were getting a lot of cycles going in deep and making them have to play a 200-foot game and it showed. We had a lot of good scoring chances in the third period."
1. Coyotes forward Mikkel Boedker chipped in an assist and has notched a point in six of his last seven games. He leads the team with 16 points and 12 assists.
2. Coyotes goalie Mike Smith upped his record to 7-3-1 in 12 career games against the Ducks.
3. Coyotes captain Shane Doan assisted on Matthew Lombardi's goal. It was the 799th point of Doan's NHL career.
4. Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney passed Mike Smith (1988-94) as the second-longest tenured G.M. in franchise history at 431 games. Phoenix has posted a 219-162-50 record during Maloney's tenure.
5. The Coyotes again played minus injured forwards Martin Hanzal and Radim Vrbata. Both are on the injured reserve list. So is defenseman David Schlemko.

Men compete in 10k and half marathonSaturday, November 9, 2013, the men's cross country team traveled to Lansing, Michigan to compete in their last race of the season. Trenton Loomis had set a personal goal to run a half marathon before the end of the year, and he fulfilled that goal at the "Run-a-Munk" half marathon at the Woldumar Nature Center. The other men and Coach Stowers all ran the 10k. The race was a trail run, very hilly, full of roots, leaves, curves and scenery. Everyone commented on what a challenging course it was!
This was Trenton's first half marathon, and what a challenging way to start your half marathon career! He placed 3rd in his age group with a time of 1 hour 46 minutes and 56 seconds. He received an award for finishing the half and for 3rd place. Richard Mooney also received an award for placing 1st in his age group in the 10k with a time of 46:51. Jean Louis Martinez was 2nd in his age group with a time of 49:32. Coach Stowers was first woman in the master's division (it's an age thing) with a time of 56:25.

$306 Million: a Spring Auction Outlook
How much will Asia's wealthy collectors spend over the first week of April during Sotheby's sale of art, antiques, jewelry and wine? The early forecast: a whopping US$306 million.
Sotheby's Hong Kong spring sales, slated for April 1-8 at the city's Convention and Exhibition Centre, will offer 3,600 lots in total spanning everything from Bordeaux to jade. But two major sales will undoubtedly involve the fattest wallets.
The first is the Meiyintang Collection of around 80 pieces of Chinese porcelain — including the 18th-century Falangcai ("foreign color") vase adorned with golden pheasants that Sotheby's expects to sell for $23 million. The collection, which was amassed over half a century by a European collector and is considered by some to be the most important Chinese porcelain collection in the world, is expected to raise up to $121 million in total.
The other big event: The sale of 106 contemporary Chinese paintings from the Ullens Collection, which has an upper estimate of about $17 million.
If it sounds excessive, chalk it up to the peculiar one-week buying spree that is unique to Hong Kong's auction structure. Here, the world's two major houses, Sotheby's and Christie's, bunch the auctions of all kinds of collectibles into two mega events, held once in the spring and again in autumn. The marathon weeklong auctions are unlike those in New York or London, where the two houses stage sales year round.
The autumn sales typically coincide with Golden Week, a period when mainland China has a weeklong break and when many Chinese tourists make the trek south to Hong Kong. The spring sales, however, happen a month apart for the two houses: Sotheby's is in April while Christie's holds its event in May, at the same time as the city holds its ArtHK fair.
In the neverending horse race between the two auction powerhouses, the leader is Christie's, which recorded sales of $722 million in 2010, more than the $684 million in sales posted by Sotheby's.
Can the art market go even higher? Will Asian buyers continue their buying binge from last year? We'll see, soon enough.

I use this in my dryer, but also as a carpet deodorizer, and I sprinkle it in my boys shoes too. I have been using it in my dryer for a few years, and haven't had any problems with my dryer, as read in another review. I choose to use SNAP Fabric softener, not only because it is economical, but also free of the chemicals in dryer sheets.
Love this stuff!

This is simply the best product out there for a fabric softener. You just sprinkle a little bit in the dryer and your clothes smell fresh. I have sensitivities to detergents but this works great. This stuff lasts for a long time.
This product will destroy your dryer

I had a new dryer and when I had it for 1 month I started to use the Snap Fabric Softener. I thought it would be a cheap way to have my clothes fresh and anti static. Well first it will clot your filter and you have to clean it under the sink. But it also goes inside of the dryer through the filter. I found that out when my dryer quit working after 1 year. The mechanic who came for the repair told me never ever to use the Snap Fabric softener anymore. I used it as was written, did not use to much, still had not finished to shaker after 1 year. But from now on I buy my old dryer sheets again!! Also when you have black things in the dryer, you will see some white dust when they come out of the dryer.

Today starts our short series on furniture rehab. Once a week, I'll post detailed instructions on a furniture rehab project.
Let me start with this disclaimer…What I do isn't furniture restoration or even refinishing. People who do that type of work would look at what I do and run screaming from the room. The pieces I work on are usually somebody's unloved trash or thrift store bargains. I use paint, fabric and some elbow grease to create something new and pretty to love.
Our project for Furniture Rehab 101 is a youth chair for my kitchen. My sister has one of these for her kids and I've been
trying to swipe it admiring it for a long time. It looks like a regular chair but the seat is higher so you don't need to use a booster seat. When I found one at my favorite flea market store, I squealed and snapped it up so fast that other mom's hid their kids from the crazy woman.
So let's get started. Here's what we're working on today.
The first thing I do is look to see if any parts of it need to be sanded. I'm just looking for obvious bumps, drips or nicks that will bug me once the piece has been painted. I usually don't do much, if any, sanding. If I wasn't taking pictures of each step for you, I probably wouldn't have sanded this chair at all. But I did find a couple of drips in the finish that I could get rid of with sandpaper.
Next step is to get it clean. Here is where I usually spend about 15 minutes looking around the garage for my tack cloth. A tack cloth is a slightly sticky rag that you can use to get all the dust and dirt off of something that you're going to paint. They're sold in the paint department.
After I spend 15 minutes looking for mine, I gave up and used a wet rag to get the dust and grime off the chair.
Now starts the fun part. I primed this chair because it's going to get a lot of wear and tear from my little boys. If I'm doing a piece that won't take a beating, I often don't even prime. But here's the primer I used today.
Since I was painting the chair black, I used a grey primer. But white or black primer would have worked fine too. It just would have taken more coats of the paint with the white.
Here is my garage workspace. I put one piece of plywood on the floor and one up against the wall to catch the overspray. It used to drive my hubby nuts because the plywood doesn't really catch all the overspray so there is a part of our garage floor that has a tinge to it. Right now it's pink from the pink bench project. He has now resigned himself to the fact that I can't help myself and has just asked that I not get any paint on his tractor. HA! A pink tractor. Now that would be a good post!
I started with the chair upside-down to get the legs primed well.
Then turned it right side up to get the rest.
The trick to spray painting without too many drips is to keep the can moving and to use light coats. It's better to use multiple light coats than one heavy coat. I wait about 5 minutes between the coats of primer.
Then I let it sit for about an hour before using the paint.
DRIP TIP – If you get a drip in the primer or the paint that really bugs you, you can fix it. Let the paint or primer dry for at least an hour. Then use a fine grit sand paper to get rid of the drip. Clean the dust of the entire piece again and continue painting.
Same process with the paint. Two quick coats waiting about 5 minutes in between.
I let it dry for a few hours in the garage. By that point it was dry enough to handle and I let it finish drying overnight in the basement. The air conditioning helps it dry faster.
Here's the finished chair.
The entire project took less than an hour not including drying time. I swear it took me longer to write this post than it did to paint the chair.
If you want to read another tutorial about painting furniture, stop by and see Rhoda at Southern Hospitality. Her post on painting her kitchen chairs is great. She uses a neat technique to get a beautifully distressed finish. Rhoda is such a sweet lady with a beautiful blog and wonderful taste.

Skill Level Beginner
If you're going to be working with a music file in your Movie Maker project, there are number of tools that you have at your disposal for doing things like fading the music in and out, trimming, splitting the music clip, even adjusting the volume-- things we're going to look at right now with our BeachMovie. You'll notice when we go to the storyboard, the tune called So Many Times by the Jellybricks does appear. We inserted it in a previous lesson, and it starts right at the beginning with our very first clip, which is a title.
Now we can adjust where it starts, where it ends, and what it sounds like by going to the Options tab, under Music tools. So long as your marker is somewhere in music in your storyboard, you will see the Music Tools > Options tab. Let's give it a click. Well, we have two groups here: one for adjusting the audio and one for editing the actual clip itself. Now here we see the beginning of the song, starting right at the beginning of our very first clip, but maybe would be better if it started a little bit later.
So we can change the start time. One option is to use Set start time by moving our marker. So we'll just click and drag to the spot where we want the music to start and then click Set start time. You can see it changes the start time in this case to about 1.5 seconds. Now, the other option is to click and drag the actual music clip itself. Right on the storyboard, click anywhere inside and then just click and drag. You're actually moving the start marker to the left, in this case, and when you let go, that's where it's going to start.
You've just adjust the start time. The other option is to use the up and down arrows, or simply type in an exact number that we want it to start at. 1, for example. Type in 1. You can press Enter, and you've locked in at one second. So you can be very precise with this. Now you can also trim the music, so that is to cut off the beginning or end of the song using Set start point and Set end point options, or typing in, or using the Arrow keys to set a start point and end point.
This is going to actually cut off parts of the song though, when you do this. So, for example, if we clicked at the end of our first clip or just dragged the marker to the end of our first clip-- which is the title--and we choose Set that as the start point, we would actually be trimming off the beginning of our song. Same thing goes for working with the end of the song, if we were to go to the end of our project and set the end point. You can see numbers will be inserted for start and end points. The other option is to split it up.
Maybe we don't want to hear the song when our video clip is playing, so we'll just click the video clip itself, and that moves the marker right to the beginning of the clip. This might be good spot to split it. Now we're going to split in this case because the Options tab under Music tools is that we're just splitting the music, not the video clip. So now it's split. Now, if we didn't do anything, it would continue to play smoothly. But what we're going to do now is just move this over to the end of our video clip. You can see now the music starts, there is a pause, and then it kicks up again at the end of our video clip-- something you might want to do when you're going to be inserting video where there is audio and you don't want them competing with each other.
Of course, if you don't like that, you can always click Undo. Let's click Undo twice to bring it right back to a solid stream. There we go. Now, let's work with fading in and out. Fade in they're obviously is going to fade in the music, and it can be Slow, Medium, or a Fast fade. Let's choose Fast. For the fade out at the end, we'll do a Slow fade, so it gradually goes out to nothing. We can also adjust the music volume.
If you find it too loud, just bring it down to an acceptable level. You can always listen to that by clicking Play. (Music playing.) At anytime if you don't like what you hear, you can always go back and make adjustments. Let's go back to the Home tab. So when you're working with music in the background, you have many tools at your disposal.
Remember that Options tab that pops up whenever your marker is placed over music in the storyboard. If we were to move our marker away from the music and back into our first clip, notice the options tab has disappeared for working with music tools. Your marker has to be inside the song.

Hi there all. I've been working on a ship for quite some time now and am nearing completion, would've been done sooner but I've done a couple redesigns and the kids got at it a couple times too. got any suggestions for the rigging? I've never liked the plastic look to the store bought ones, I'm experimenting with those lego strings now and it looks pretty decent. Check it out

Also built my own 18 pounder cannons too!
First of all, congradulations on making the first pirate related factory item I have seen... and posting it for the rest of us! thats awesome.
second, bravo on the ship! i think its looking really good! Is there a praticular ship you were modeling it after? whereas the gunports are bigger then normal lego gunports, i think they still work, as i always felt lego ones were a tad bit too small. i love the cannons, how are they next to a fig though? And wouldn't they be larger calliber then 18 pounders if you were doing minifig scale? just wondering. but anyway i cant wait to see it with the rigging and sails, what you have started is looking pretty good.

It looks like he did all of that by hand, unless you can preorder the stuff...
I noticed the Ig-88 in the background. You aren't a big LEGO Star Wars collector by any chance?
~yarr phes, he already posted the url to download it and it's a rather rudimentary design. :-/
Posted 28 July 2006 - 04:21 AM
What did you use to make the barrel out of?
Posted 28 July 2006 - 12:21 PM
Yeah it may be more like a 24 pounder, which would be ok for the indefatiguaqble. It looks pretty good with a cre of three or four gathered around, I'll try to post some pics over the weekend.
I love starwars lego. It seems to be the only way I can get imperial soldiers for my ship! *joke* Actually my kids seem to have "permanently borrowed" most of mine and have amassed a fair collection.
The cannons are made of 5 of those roundy 2x2 pieces, 2 of those 1x2 bricks with a hole through it and one of those roundy cap things (real technical sounding eh?)

As for string, you might be able to get away with very little actually because from what it seems you are at about a similiar scale as this previously mentioned MOC. I really like this approach to rigging.
I'm sure you'll figure something out that blows us away! Thanks for sharing.

26, there's enough cannons to fill all the ports on the gun deck. I'll need another 8-12 for the top deck. I've got 16 marines (red soldiers), and about 80 sailors ready to man her and about 30 some french (blue soldiers) for them to skirmish with while ashore. Although my kids just boarded the Challenger and wiped out the crew with IG88, Count Dooku, Boba Fett and a couple imperial troops (stormtroopers), it was quite a massacre, muskets and sabres against lasers and lightsabres ekk! Kids just have no sense of historical accuracy.

That pic is about a year old so the design has changed abit, I originally had a flat 2x2 round on the end but discovered that leaving it off made the end look more "deeper" hence more real.
Yup I used one row of inverted 3x2 slopes, then two rows or 2x2 inverted slopes but the next section I used Aaron's secret patent idea for ship hull design. its actually not a secret its just really hard to explian...I'll post some pics on Brickshelf shortly but again there will be a delay while the moderators make sure my boats exposed secrets include just lego :)

Its even got a fairly large pull off section right between the main and mizzen masts just aft of the stairs below for easier access for us "larger" kids. Also planning on having the aft cabin slide off too.

Dallas ISD teachers wondering about the workday schedule for 2013-14, here's the answer…
Some Dallas ISD teachers have been wondering about the workday schedule for the 2013-14 school year. Here's information from Dallas ISD Spokesman Jon Dahlander:
Teachers will work a minimum workday of 7 hours and 45 minutes. Principals have the discretion to have teachers come in 15 minutes early or stay 15 minutes late.
Principals also have the discretion to add an additional 90 minutes to the full work week. The 90 minutes can be broken up into increments — for example, staying late 45 minutes on a Monday and staying late 45 minutes on a Thursday.
But in a nutshell, the minimum workday is 7 hours and 45 minutes — anything after that is at the discretion of the campus principal.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE — The Lake Tahoe Music Festival is making a comeback.
Presenting four classical music concerts this summer, the festival will "return to its grassroots and will revitalize and reinvent tradition at Lake Tahoe," according to a statement from the festival's Board of Directors.
The festival folded in 2012 due to the growth and popularity of a pair of regional classical music organizations, in Toccata and the Lake Tahoe SummerFest.
When the Lake Tahoe Music Festival began in 1982, it exclusively presented classical music. It gradually added pop music, and in recent years only about 50 percent of its shows were classical. In 2011, it had three shows, each of them pop — Blues Traveler, Michael Bolton and Colbie Caillat — and held at the Village at Northstar.
According to the board, returning Music Director Timm Rolek has put together an Orchestra Academy for the 2013 shows, which includes a recognized soloist who will mentor 14 young professionals as they present four enchanting evenings of "Serenades at Sunset."
Tickets are available at www.tahoemusic.org, or cash will be accepted at the gate. Gates open 5 p.m., and the concerts begin at 6:30 p.m.
Donations to support and continue the festival may be mailed to Lake Tahoe Music Festival, PO Box 7, Truckee, CA, 96160, or on the website. Interested volunteers may help by calling 530-388-8272.
Serenade at Sunset Concert Series
Tuesday, July 9: Truckee, private residence, 11195 Laurelwood Drive, Prosser Lakeview Estates. $50 per person. Featuring Janacek - Suite for Strings / Barber - Adagio / Sibelius - Romance /Bach - Concerto for 2 violins.

Well, I am so in love with this snack-a-roo. (too much Cat in the Hat lately)
My friend Roxanne (no blog) gave me this incredibly easy and yummy recipe!
I'm wondering if you eat a whole pan if they are still healthy for you?
The best part about it is my seriously picky eaters...
as in, won't eat
mac and cheese,
you know the normal stuff!
Will eat these!
Okay enough about my little ankle biters!
I have to say that these are WAY better than the store bought brands! HONEST!
Here is the recipe!
3 cups of quick oats
1 cup rice krispies
3/4 cup wheat germ
1 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
3/4 cup honey
1 cup mini chocolate chips
mix together and pat down in a 9x13" pan.
they lasted in the fridge for 5 days!

Taking the manual out of data collection
October 22, 2011 - MMH Editorial
Manual data collection can bog down inventory management or production processes, and can introduce inaccuracies and inefficiencies throughout a company's operations. Red Gold, one of the nation's largest full-line tomato product manufacturers, has raised its inventory accuracy to 99% and improved production tracking by replacing its manual system with a bar code-based data collection solution.
The Indiana-based company was using a wholly manual, paper-based process to track inventory and finished goods production. As cans of tomato products were loaded into cases and palletized, machine operators, lift truck operators and palletizer operators would have to write down multiple pieces of information to record production.
Manufacturing and shipping operators also had to record a variable-length case code that was stenciled onto each shipping tray or case. These codes, eight to 14-characters long, including both alphabetic and numeric characters, were unstructured and not always printed in the same place on the trays or cases. Red Gold's primary distribution center may have 50,000 to 60,000 pallets in storage on any given day, and between 100 to 200 trucks moving through the facility each day.
The new system was deployed in phases between 2002 and 2007 at three facilities. While most orders are for full pallets of product, the new system allows operators to build mixed pallets within the system and generate new pallet labels that reflect these case moves.
Staff members appreciate the new system, which has cut labor costs at multiple points throughout the process. By standardizing company case codes and automatically tracking each case electronically, the system has also improved compliance with customer and government traceability requirements.
