Italian patriot Giuseppe Mazzini once observed, "Family is the country of the heart." If that's true, the loving but contentious Walker clan on ABC's Sunday-night drama "Brothers & Sisters" sometimes leans more toward civil unrest than national reconciliation.
On the other hand, the actors who play the Walker siblings and mother seem to have settled into a comfortable, even familial, routine.
After a run of repeats, the show returns on April 1 with the original episode "Three Parties," which is in production on this Tuesday in late February at the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, Calif. (step outside, lean the right way, and you can see the Seven Dwarves holding up the roof of the Team Disney Building).
Before most folks even eat breakfast, star Calista Flockhart, who plays political pundit-turned-political operative Kitty Walker, is tucking into a Tupperware container full of cold pasta while shooting a phone-call scene with sister Sarah (with an off-screen crew member standing in for Rachel Griffiths).
The topic of conversation is Kitty's trip to Castroville, Calif. -- the "Artichoke Capital of the World" -- the hometown of her boyfriend and boss, presidential candidate Sen. Robert McCallister, who is played by Rob Lowe. (For trivia lovers, McCallister takes his name and his Republican Party affiliation from The WB's "Jack & Bobby," the previous series of executive producer Greg Berlanti).
"It tasted a little bit like paper," says Flockhart of the pasta. "It had no sauce. It was literally boiled pasta."
When the show began last fall, Kitty was the outspoken right-wing half of a bipartisan cable-news opinion show.
"I'm attracted to her intelligence," Flockhart says. "She's really smart. She has a terrific sense of humor, too. They seem to write her very self-aware and aware."
The introduction of McCallister has sent Kitty in new personal and professional directions, as the communications director for his campaign.
"I enjoyed doing the television show," Flockhart says, "to have a show within a show. That was great. But [now], we get to see her personal life while she's working. This is an interesting way to go."
Playing someone in the thick of politics also intrigues Flockhart. "I'm very interested in politics. I find it really fascinating, and I think it's a really exciting time for politics right now."
Lowe, who played a deputy communications director for a fictional Democratic president on NBC's "The West Wing," concurs, saying, "I love and I am fascinated by the process, as damaged, broken and beautiful as it is. I love public service and the people who serve. That's one of the reasons I was drawn to 'The West Wing' in the first place. It's one of the reasons why I was a good fit there, and it serves me well here, too."
"The West Wing" was the creation of New York playwright Aaron Sorkin, and coincidentally, New York playwright Jon Robin Baitz is the creator of "Brothers & Sisters" (he shares executive producer duties with Berlanti and Ken Olin, the husband of series regular Patricia Wettig).
"Both of them are so amazing," Lowe says of the playwrights. "I've been a fan of Robbie Baitz since the 'Substance of Fire' days and have always longed to do some of those amazing speeches in that play. A playwright's words are always something I cherish when I get a chance to do them."
Baitz is also on hand for this episode, which he wrote, and he's visibly delighted watching a later scene, in which widowed Walker matriarch Nora (Sally Field) discusses her interest in her handsome writing teacher (Peter Coyote) with free-spirited pal Emily (Margot Kidder). The scene shows off both actresses' flawless comic timing.
Added to the cast after the show was originally announced, Field brings decades of experience in comedy and drama.
As Field relaxes with needlepoint between takes, episode director Sandy Smolan observes, "Directing Sally -- she always gives you much more than you expect. As a director, you approach with some ideas, and she consistently comes up with stuff that's beyond what you thought of, that's so nuanced, so detailed, that your jaw drops. You're amazed at the level of detail in her performance."
As the day goes on, two of the three Walker brothers roll in: David Annable, who plays youngest sibling Justin, and Welsh actor Matthew Rhys, who plays gay lawyer Kevin. In talking to and observing the duo, it's obvious that the brotherly relationship extends beyond the screen (especially when Annable and Rhys zoom off together on bicycles during a break).
"I don't have brothers," Annable says, "and this is as close as I can come without having blood brothers."
"Apart from socializing," Rhys says, "our big thing is skeet shooting. The three of us shoot at a little place up in Santa Clarita, and that's our thing. I'm OK. It's like golf. You have good days and bad days, days when things are clicking and other days you can't hit a cow's ass with a banjo."
Even though Annable is new to the sport, Balthazar Getty, who plays womanizing son Tommy, later admits, "He's the newbie, but he's pretty athletic. He took to it."
As to what the appeal is, Getty sums it up as, "the challenge, being outdoors, and guys typically like shooting guns. There's the camaraderie mixed with the competition mixed with the smell of gunpowder."
But it's not just the boys, as Annable says, "I have these relationships as much with the brothers as with Calista and Rachel. They're sisters of mine."

I'm a bit of an email nerd.
Let me clarify. I spend a lot of time in my email client (Gmail browser), send and receive a lot of emails to a lot of different people about a lot of different things. I've also learned that unless I implement processes, I forget things (I always keep my phone in my left pocket and my wallet and keys in my right). I also love to automate processes whenever possible (that's part of what I love about coding!).
I recently realised that the obvious twist to put on my Gmail labels/filters setup was a 'Follow Up' label that I'd apply to mails that would need my attention if they didn't get dealt with (you sometimes want to wait a while before you nag someone for a reply, especially if you don't know them…).
After choosing a nice bright colour and pulling the labelled threads into a new section on my Multiple Inbox I went ahead and labelled the messages that had made me think about this in the first place, while thinking about rules that would accurately capture all the emails I'd forget to chase down.
It's relatively easy to remember to label an ongoing discussion, and it's pretty easy to unlabel something you don't need a label on, but labelling a message as you send it is hard (or impossible) to do, and it's also the one you're least likely to remember later.
I realised I'd need a filter to auto-label these messages, and I came up with the following matching criteria:
- A message I'd sent…
- that hadn't been replied to…
- that was older than a couple of days, but newer than last week
Imagine my frustration as I realised that I wouldn't be able to automate my process because — of course, dammit! — you can't apply a filter to messages as they're sent. I've tried using Boomerang, but it didn't stick, mainly because there's no automatic part to it. I had to make this work.
Well of course there's a way. As I've been realising increasingly of late, it's using Google Apps Scripts. In a nutshell, you write a script to search for certain messages in your inbox, iterate over them checking anything you couldn't search for and applying your label – and you then trigger the search on a timer. Amazing.
Here's the how-to:
1. Specify your initial search. I couldn't figure out a way to get messages without replies, so I left that out for now. You'll also need to search only for messages on a single day (you'll see why in a moment), and make sure to exclude chat messages – I ended up with:
in:sent older_than:2d newer_than:3d -in:chats
2. Open up a new script. If you've never done this before, follow the beginning of my previous post, or just google it (it's easy).
3. Copy and paste the following code into your script:
function followUpUnreplied() { // Every thread in your Inbox that is read, older than two days, and not labeled "delete me". var threads = GmailApp.search('in:sent older_than:2d newer_than:3d -in:chats'); for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) { if (threads[i].getMessageCount() < 2) { // looks like an unreplied-to message threads[i].addLabel(GmailApp.getUserLabelByName("Follow Up")) } } }
What you're doing here is running your search, then looping through the results (each of which is a "thread" – a conversation). You check each thread for the number of messages and if there's only 1 you apply the label to it – simples!
4. Next, you need to set your script to run automatically every day (which is why we only searched for messages from a single day in the past). In the script editor window, go to Resources > Current project's triggers, which will open an overlay with an empty list on the editor page.
Select 'Add a new trigger' choose your function name 'followUpUnreplied' in this case, choose 'Time-driven', 'day timer', and select a time that suits you.
5. Lastly, run the script manually from Run menu item; the first time you run it it'll need authorisation to access your account and you'll need to do this manually. After that, you should be good to go!
Now you just have to remember to act on all those labels🙂

Pro Cymbal System At NAMM 2012
If you haven't been a regular NAMM attendee for the past couple years, you might never have heard about a great new cymbal-polishing system called Pro Cymbal. And that's because the proprietor Gene Provencio is marketing the $2,000+ device primarily to music store and drum shop owners, so that they can offer quick and efficient cymbal cleaning services. But who knows – there may be a die-hard cymbal fanatic out there who is willing to invest in a machine that will ensure perfectly shiny cymbals for every gig.

On the same day Steven Blaylock was convicted of murdering his wife, the sister of his victim filed suit Thursday, seeking to prevent him from inheriting any of the proceeds from her estate.
Bend attorney Lawrence Erwin filed the request for declaratory judgment "to disinherit slayer" in Deschutes County Circuit Court on behalf of Cindy Wright, listed as the personal representative of Lori Blaylock?s estate.
The three-page filing notes that Steven Blaylock usually would inherit 100 percent of the estate of his wife, whose body was never found. However, it notes that Steven Blaylock is now ?a slayer? as defined in state law, due to his conviction Thursday.
Wright said the goal is to make sure that Steven Blaylock will not be able to inherit anything of Lori's that was put in his name.
The attorney's filing quoted the state statute that outlines how any property that would have gone to ?a slayer or an abuser? of the victim should instead go the family estate as if that person had died first.
A year to the day after his arrest, a jury found Steven Blaylock guilty Thursday of murdering his wife, even though her body was never found.
"God bless the jurors for seeing what we saw all along," Cindy Wright said tearfully outside the courtroom, moments after the verdict. "It's not over. Our lives are forever changed by this."
I spoke with the convicted killer by phone shortly after he heard the jury's verdict. He told me he couldn't say much about the verdict because of his sentencing, set for next Thursday, but he did say: "Today was the worst day of my life."
Blaylock also said to tell his family he loved them and thank them for their support.
Just six hours after beginning deliberations, the jury Thursday found Steven Blaylock guilty of murder and not a lesser, manslaughter charge, rejecting his claim that he killed his wife, Lori "Woody" Blaylock, in self-defense during a violent struggle.
It was standing room only in the courtroom when the verdict was read. Detectives and forensic scientists who worked so tirelessly on the case were among the crowd.
The jury, which began its work at 8:30 a.m., announced less than six hours later it had reached a verdict after nearly three weeks of testimony in the closely watched case.
The guilty verdict came despite lack of a body, as Blaylock disposed of his wife's body in the North Santiam River, where repeated searches failed to find her remains.
Adler set sentencing for 9 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 17.
DA Patrick Flaherty said the prosecution will be seeking life in prison for the 47-year-old.
"They get to go see their son in jail," said Wright, the victim's sister, clutching a small pink unicorn. "I'll never get to see my sister, and my daughter will never see her aunt again."
Wright was clenching a small pink stuffed unicorn that her sister gave her as she talked to NewsChannel 21.
She said Lori loved unicorns and always had them with her, so she brought it to court Thursday for good luck.
"In my mind, she'll never be Lori Blaylock. She'll always be Lori Wright," she said.
As for the now-convicted killer, Wright said, "He's behind bars, and I never had a doubt that's where he deserved to be."
"I hope she knew she was loved," she said. "I don't think she knew she was as loved by as many people as she was."
Flaherty said in a news release that his office will be requesting a sentence of life in prison.
"The Bend Police Department did an extraordinary job both in investigating this difficult 'no body' murder case and in assisting our office in preparing for trial," Flaherty wrote. "Lead BPD Detective Pat Hartley worked with Deputy District Attorney Kandy Gies, the lead prosecutor on the case, seven days a week for the last three weeks to make the voluminous evidence presentable to the jury.
"This was a superlative team effort that involved several detectives from Bend Police Department and several lawyers, trial assistants and victim?s advocates in the District Attorney?s Office.
"To say that we are grateful for the hard work that the jury of 12 did on this case, including the two alternates who did not take part in the deliberations, would be an understatement," the DA concluded.

Mark Brandt dot com
Mark Christopher Brandt was born on February 2, 1961 in San Diego, California. At age 6, Mark's family relocated to Northern Virginia, where he began to develop his musical talent and ability. His first professional club gig was at a piano bar in McLean, Virginia when he was just 16 years old. By the age of 18 Mark was playing jazz, fusion, and pop music for a living.
In 1979, Mark graduated from Chantilly High School and attended Catholic University as a classical piano performance/traditional composition major, working nights and weekends as a professional keyboardist with a local jazz and pop group. After three years at CU, he entered the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts where he completed his formal education studying jazz composition and arranging.
From 1977 to the present moment Mark has continued to compose, perform, record, and teach music of every style while collaborating with musicians, visual artists, dancers, and educators from every genre and every aspect of the music industry. He has operated a successful private instruction studio, built solely on word-of-mouth advertising, for over 20 years, and in 2011 he received the Virginia Governor's School award for exemplary service and dedication to education.
Many of Mark's students achieve high honors and scholarships at both the high school and the collegiate level. Many have successful careers in the music industry as performers, educators, producers, and engineers. Since 2008, Mark has been a sponsor for the annual Chantilly High School Invitational Jazz Festival. The festival, which for over 35 years has taken place at Chantilly High School in Virginia, is the largest of its kind on the East Coast.
Mark teaches all ages, (6 years and older) and all styles of piano. He receives each student as a unique, individual learner, tailoring his methods to that of the student, rather than applying a "cookie cutter" approach. He is proud to be in contact with many of his former students dating back to 1993.
Whether you are looking for an introduction to music for your children, or you are an adult considering piano lessons for yourself, Mark Brandt is the teacher to call. No pressure. No guilt. Mark Brandt loves teaching piano. That's why he is still doing it successfully every day of the week.

To the Editor.—
It is important that investigators in psychiatry's basic sciences (eg, psychopharmacology and the brain sciences) have available a thorough familiarity with the clinical situation and with the body of accumulated knowledge derived from clinical work. When research studies are thus informed by clinical science, a high degree of clinical relevance and precision can be achieved. The report by Insel et al1 is illustrative of the kinds of shortcomings that can result when an investigation is not so informed.In their study of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Insel et al attempted to determine if clomipramine hydrochloride had a specific therapeutic effect. Particularly crucial was their attempt to separate clomipramine's known ability to relieve depressive disorders from any specific effect on the symptoms of OCD. The research design required that the active crossover drug in the placebo-controlled trial be pharmacologically different than clomipramine, but also have known antidepressant properties. An

Pros: -Sturdy
-Dust filters on the front and bottom
-2 fans
-Great space, though you should remove the pointless HDD case in the middle and put your SSD case on top of the bottom one. You'll get better air distribution.
-Everything stays nice and cool
Cons: -At $50 I expected more from it. First of all every other case at this price is painted on the interior and just looks better in general, as well as having USB 3.0 on the front
-No usb 3.0
-No filters on the side
-Noisy fans
Other Thoughts: I bought another 140mm fan with a filter for the side and together all the fans make the case very loud, though I don't care too much about that.READ FULL REVIEW

Cons: -The "PSU" fan isn't controlled from BIOS so you need a software to control that fan (which probably be your back exhaust fan)
-The bottom PCIe slot will not fit bigger GPUs unfortunately, or they will sit right on the PSU which is terrible for heat distribution and exhaust. I recommend you use the middle slot for your card.
This review is from: AMD FX-6350 Vishera 6-Core 3.9 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W FD6350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor
Pros: -3.9ghz, 6 core (Bulldozer modules =/= hyperthreading), 6mb L2 and 8mb L3 cache
-No real need to overclock at 3.9 unless you're doing something CPU intensive, and since most games are GPU dependent you'll be set at 3.9
-Will not bottleneck any GPU
-Came with Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon
Cons: -The stock fan is garbage and you will definitely need to buy a new one
-With the aftermarket cooler this processor stays at a constant 20C for me on idle and no higher than mid 30s/ low 40s when playing games
Other Thoughts: Recommended for budget builds. If you're gonna overclock you might as well get the 6300 though.READ FULL REVIEW

A briefing of people, issues and events around the country
FDA fights Web pharmacies selling unapproved drugs
WASHINGTON -- The Food and Drug Administration is stepping up its fight against counterfeit and other potentially harmful medicine sold over the Internet.
The agency is ordering operators of about 4,100 websites to immediately stop selling unapproved medications to U.S. consumers.
The FDA has sent warning letters to three companies behind most of the websites. It's also seized some illegal medicines, and filed civil and criminal charges against companies and people.
Those efforts are part of a global crackdown on online sellers of counterfeit and illegal medical products. Interpol, the international police agency, said about $10.5 million worth of medicines were seized worldwide last week and more than 18,000 illegal pharmacy websites were shuttered.
Government settles with deported U.S. citizen
ATLANTA -- Lawyers said the federal government agreed to pay $175,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a mentally disabled U.S. citizen who was deported to Mexico and spent four months wandering Central America.
Court documents show that a federal judge in Georgia issued an order dismissing the case this week after lawyers for Mark Lyttle and the federal government said they'd reached the settlement.
Lawyers with the American Civil Liberties Union who represented Lyttle said he'll receive $175,000 in damages.
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman did not have a comment Friday afternoon.
Lawyers for Lyttle, who was born in North Carolina, filed the suit in October 2010 claiming immigration agents manipulated Lyttle into signing documents allowing his deportation in 2008.
Sheriff: Texas teen's motive in slayings 'mystery'
ALEDO, Texas -- A North Texas sheriff said "it's a big mystery" why a 17-year-old boy gunned down his mother and teenage sister in their home.
Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said Friday that Jake Evans remains jailed without bond on a capital murder charge.
During a 25-minute call to 911 early Thursday, Evans calmly said shooting his mother and 15-year-old sister "just kind of happened."
Evans told the Parker County 911 operator that his mother and sister were rude but also said his sister had a really sweet side. Evans told the operator he'd "been kind of planning on killing for a while now" and he could have shot "pretty much just anybody."
The slayings happened at the family's home in Aledo, about 20 miles west of Fort Worth.
Halloween mask of shooting suspect removed by eBay
DENVER -- Internet company eBay has canceled the sale of a Halloween mask of Colorado movie theater shooting suspect James Holmes.
The unidentified seller was seeking hundreds of dollars for the mask depicting Holmes with his orange-red hair after he was arrested after the deadly shooting at the July 20 showing of a Batman movie.
The company said the listing was removed Friday because it did not comply with its policy barring offensive materials.
"Out of respect for victims of violent crimes, eBay does not allow listings that attempt to profit from human tragedy or suffering," the company said.
Mississippi statue unveiled for civil rights icon Hamer
JACKSON, Miss. -- Hundreds of people gathered in the tiny Mississippi Delta town of Ruleville to dedicate a statue of civil rights icon Fannie Lou Hamer.
Hamer died in 1977. She was known for saying she was "sick and tired of being sick and tired."
She drew national attention in 1964 when she and other members of the racially integrated Freedom Democratic Party challenged the seating of the state's all-white delegation to the Democratic National Convention.
She also helped register black voters when doing so put her own life in danger.
The statue was dedicated one day before what would've been Hamer's 95th birthday.
Former Greenville, Miss., Mayor Heather McTeer attended and said Hamer remains an inspiration for people who have ever been told they can't accomplish something.
Salmonella confirmed in peanut butter plant
WASHINGTON -- Salmonella has been found in a New Mexico plant that produces nut butters for retailer Trader Joe's and several other large national grocery chains, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday. The Trader Joe's peanut butter is now linked to 35 salmonella illnesses in 19 states -- most of them in children under the age of 10.
Washington state health officials have also confirmed the presence of salmonella in an opened jar of the Trader Joe's peanut butter found in a victim's home, the FDA said.
Though the illnesses have only been linked to the Trader Joe's peanut butter, the government findings have prompted New Mexico-based Sunland Inc. to recall everything made in the plant since March of 2010 -- a total of 240 products. The company in September recalled 101 products that were manufactured in the plant this year.
The recall includes nut butters and nut products sold at Whole Foods Market, Target, Safeway, Costco, Fresh & Easy, Harry and David, Sprouts, Heinen's, Stop & Shop Supermarket Co., Giant Food, of Landover, Md., and several other stores since 2010.
Man sentenced in $1M theft from woman well over 100
COLVILLE, Wash. -- A former caregiver in northeastern Washington state who was convicted of taking nearly $1 million from a Kettle Falls woman who was more than 100 years old has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
John "Herb" Friedlund was looking after Frances Swan, who is now 107, when authorities found her in 2011 in squalid conditions that included rotting food and dog feces.
A detective had gone to Swan's home to investigate animal neglect allegations against the 79-year-old Friedlund after neighbors reported starving horses on the property.
The detective found Swan inside and said she begged "please feed me," saying Friedlund hadn't given her anything to eat that day.
Friedlund was sentenced Friday after being found guilty of charges related to raiding Swan's retirement fund.

It seems to us that of all the chapters in medicine the most neglected is that of diseases of the newborn. We are only beginning to get here and there a little light on the clinical pictures here presented, and this shows us that the newborn infant is affected clinically by the same infections in a much different way from the older infant. It is for this reason that we wish to call attention to the subject of tuberculosis in the newborn, with the hope, not of adding a great deal to the literature, but of stimulating interest in a subject which has been so long neglected.
Much has been said and written about tuberculosis in children, and not a little about congenital tuberculosis. This has been a field which has been much studied by pathologists, but in which, as yet, the clinician has taken little interest. This is probably

Assemblyman Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, announced Thursday he has named Santa Clarita Valley resident R.J. Kelly as his district representative during the "2013 Veterans Recognition Ceremony" in Sacramento.
Wilk's Assembly district encompasses most of the Santa Clarita Valley, along with Simi Valley and portions of the San Fernando Valley.
Kelly, a veteran of the Vietnam War and current board member for the Castaic Lake Water Agency, joined the United States Marines shortly after graduating from El Monte High School in 1966, according to a news release from Wilk's office.
According to that release, Kelly was stationed in Vietnam in 1967 and later went on to earn a Purple Heart, a medal given out to those who are wounded or killed in the line of duty.
"It gives me great pleasure to honor R.J. for his dedication and service to our country," said Wilk in a news release.
"Our service men and women are the absolute backbone of our country and I'm proud R.J. Kelly is a member of our community."
Since his retirement from the Marines, Kelly has been an active resident of the Santa Clarita Valley, participating in groups such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, among others.

Do you have an old house that is full of leaky ductwork in Boise? We can help with that. If you have leaky ductwork in your home or office then you are losing heat or cooling from your furnace or fan coil through the sides of it. Most older homes have anywhere from 10% leakage clear on up to 35%-40% leakage through ductwork. If it is not sealed properly then you are heating and cooling your crawlspace and/or attic. Utilities are too expensive any more to heat and cool the outdoors. It wastes energy and it costs you money. If you have leaks on your Boise return air ducting you can be pulling contaminated and dirty air from your crawlspace or insulation and dust from your attic. Neither of which are healthy for you and your family. Sealing your Nampa ductwork can save you money, make your home more comfortable, save on filter changes and save on allergy medicine and the amount that you have to dust. Just because you have leaking ductwork leading to or from your furnace does not mean it all needs replaced, it can be as simple as finding all the leaks, sealing them up and making what you already have work like it is supposed to.
Adding onto a your home of office? Need new Meridian ductwork installed or ducting run? Even if you are not adding on, but are looking for a solution to that hot second floor. We can help you with that whether it is a zoning issue or adding a return duct to the second or first floor. Drake Mechanical has all your ductwork needs taken care of from hard metal ducting in Boise, Bathroom fan exhaust ducting in Meridian, to flexible insulated Ducting in Nampa or Caldwell. Whether you want steel ducting or new flexible duct we can build it either way you would prefer. If you need an estimate to install duct or modify ductwork please call us at 208-362-6200 or CLICK HERE to contact us via E-Mail.
There are many flexible ducting options out there that can save you time and money on installation of new ductwork. These Nampa ductwork options can help you breath a sigh of relief, literally. New clean ductwork in Caldwell eliminates dirt and dust that builds up in your home, has insulation in it and can help you keep the warm and cold air the way you want it instead of losing heat and cooling into your attic or crawlspace. It is quieter than the old metal ducting, doesnt rust and is anti microbial to resist and inhibit mold and mildew growth. If you could see what is inside your ductwork you might be really surprised. Generally it is really filthy and gross. We all spend a bunch of money on air filters to try and clean our air, prevent allergies and asthma attacks while at the same time our ductwork is full of dirt and debris, kids toys and who knows what else from the past owner. Even Duct Cleaning in Boise can not get all of the debris and dirt out of your ducting. The only true way to get fresh clean ductwork is to put fresh clean duct work in. Drake Mechanical prefers a brand called Flex-Vent due to all of the qualities that it possesses such as the anti-microbial technology, fiberglass lining for quiet air transfer, increased volume and air flow and the fact that it meets the energy star rating and also has superior fire ratings than other brands where rather than igniting to flame it will just melt. Flex-Vent also has a 5 year warranty for your peace of mind. The biggest pro to our using this product is the fact that it is made in the USA! So whether you live in Nampa, Caldwell, Boise, Meridian or Kuna we can get your home's new ductwork installed in a timely fashion and get you breathing cleaner air and feeling better.

Now different those other Transformer USB drives, this is a genuine transforming robot and its yet eco-friendly. It can alter into a whole of 6 different robots, always keeping you entertained. Its a good and attractive much useless way to like solar power. Not all solar power really needs to have a point though and this would also be a fun thing to enjoy with your kids.
It can change from an automatic dog, to a liner, affecting plane, vehicle windmill and finally a desktop plane. If you run out of sunlight for some reason, you can also charge this up by using a 50 watt tuber or brighter. There are a grand total of 25 parts and no bolts. Since there are so many parts, this is probably something you should help your childrens with if you give it to them. You can pick it up for £13.00 or about $21 from Red5.

Biomass surpassed oil to become Sweden's number one energy source in 2009, biomass now accounts for 32% of Sweden's energy needs. Sweden plans to have half of its energy generated by renewable sources by 2020, and also plans to be completely independent of imported oil for transportation by 2030. Biomass energy production is predicted to rise by a further 11% in 2011 and it seems likely that they will realise their 2020 targets.
Between 2000 and 2009, total energy consumption from biomass in Sweden grew from 88 terawatt-hours (twh) to 115 twh, while the usage of oil-based products declined 21% from 142 twh to 112 twh during the same period, according to Svebio, the Swedish Bioenergy Association.
Biomass has been so successful in Sweden for four reasons. Firstly, general European plans have dictated that countries should have 20% of their energy generated by renewable sources by 2020, secondly, Sweden has a lot of the necessary timber infrastructure already in place, they also have higher energy prices than other parts of Europe, and finally, solar and wind power are not viable in Sweden due to environmental conditions.
This rise in the biomass sector has led to pressures on Sweden's wood supply though, leading to price increases. According to Hakan Ekstrom of Wood Resource Quarterly, "Sawmills in Central and Northern Europe continue to have the highest wood costs in regions producing softwood lumber. These are also regions that have experienced the biggest price increases the past year. In Sweden and Germany, spruce sawlog prices were 28% and 15%, respectively, higher than in early 2009."
Wood Resources Quarterly said a company's global cost competitive position depends on its raw material base and the cost of available wood resources. Wood costs account for 40 - 50% of the production costs for pulp manufacturing, and 65 - 75% of the total production costs for sawmills.
The industry does face some problems though, the biomass is burned to generate heat and electricity and this raises questions about its carbon neutrality.

So, I went to the game last night. And it was…WEIRD? Like, it was extremely civil? Maybe it's because it was a school night, but beyond one guy telling me how great Albert is going to look in Cubbie blue next year (cue a triple splash super BARF), it was hardly even acknowledged that this was a relevant rivalry.
Hell, even the bleachers seemed tame. Minus one girl-on-girl catfight late in the game, I'm not so sure that everyone wasn't sleeping over there. (Sort of like Soriano in left. Good grief, what is THAT guy's deal?)
I realize it's unusual for the Cardinals to come to town during the middle of the week, but it was honestly kind of pathetic. I'm not used to having conversations with Cubs fans in the middle of these games that aren't centered around how much I hate them and literally want to light them on fire. And besides his normal huffing and puffing, even my buddy Carlos didn't do anything terribly entertaining. And Carlos is ALWAYS good for a laugh! The only thing that seemed to generate any kind of energy amongst the Cubs fans was a plate appearance by Ryan Theriot and that is just depressing for ALL OF US.
If I'm being totally honest here, (TRUTH ZONE!), this all made me very uncomfortable. Even when Kerry Wood choked up the go ahead runs, I didn't get so much as a hostile or pointed glance.
It sort of makes me sad, as it's like they've already lost the will to live. And where is the fun in THAT? This is only interesting as long as Cubs fans remain hopelessly delusional.
Anyway, the forgiving atmosphere was probably a good thing because things could easily have gone the other way.
Carpenter couldn't seem to get his act together and had the Cubs managed to execute any sort of defense we would likely be telling a very different story today. However, a victory is a victory! My first live Cards game of the season didn't cause ALL of my brains to melt down into nuclear waste, so for that I'm grateful. We'll take our breaks where we can get them, amiright, guys?
Also, RIP Tony LaRussa's right eye. Holy hell, it looks like a canker sore married a baboon carcass and then tried to eat his face. GET WELL SOON!

Comments Thread For: News: Stuey Hall; Katie Taylor; Mark Davis; More
If the going gets tough, Darlingtons Stuart Hall knows he will be able to call on the crowd when he makes the first defence of his Commonwealth bantamweight title in his hometowns Dolphin Centre on March 9.
Stuey never got out of first gear when he won the belt at the same venue last November against Barnsleys Josh Wale. This time around Hall faces tough Ghanaian, Isaac Nettey, on the Dennis Hobson Promotions show and is expecting a hard test.
It was a brilliant atmosphere last time, recalled former British champion Hall, who has lost just two of 17 fights. It was fantastic and just what I needed.

Now, obviously one cannot judge a film without having seen the thing, but -- holy moley does this thing look like a cinematic abortion of the loudest and most hellaciously obnoxious order. Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick play a pair of neighbors who'll stop at nothing to prevent each other from having the flashiest Xmas-house on the block. Expect 79 minutes of horrible slapstick schtick by hateful characters and 11 minutes of warmed-up seasonal "warmth" that fits into the movie about as well as a tongue-kiss fits in at the dentist's office.
So anyway, the Deck the Halls trailer reminded me -- hey, there's been a whole BUNCH of really rotten Christmas comedies over the past few decades! At least seven, anyway! Which brings us to the list; all naughty, no nice. p>
Ernest Saves Christmas (1988) -- OK this one earns the #7 spot because I've always had a real soft spot for the late, great Jim Varney, but this is paper-thin material all the way -- and for every gag that works mildly well, there's two or three more that hit the snowy ground with an audible thud. To be fair, though, Ernest's second big-screen adventure (following Ernest Goes to Camp) is a whole lot less obnoxious than his later exploits. My apologies to those who can't get enough of Ernest Goes to Jail, Ernest Scared Stupid, Ernest Rides Again, Slam Dunk Ernest, Ernest Goes to Africa and Ernest in the Army. And yes, those are all actual movies. I know because (god help me) I've seen most of 'em.
The Santa Clause Series (1994, 2002, 2006) -- OK, the first one had a mildly clever concept and I haven't yet seen the third entry, but hoo BOY I'd like to know who it is helping these flicks to make so much freakin' money. When you're not being assaulted with Tim Allen's shameless mugging and the screenplays' endlessly ham-fisted comedy, you're swimming through seasonal treacle that has nothing to do with heart and everything to do with commerce. The second chapter is particularly bad, and that's the one that has Aisha Tyler in it!! I love Aisha Tyler! Still, it's nice to know that Judge Reinhold can collect himself a solid paycheck every few years.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) -- There simply aren't enough adjectives in the English language to describe how much I loathe this empty, obnoxious and entirely soulless piece of sequel-time garbage. Take everything that worked in the original, amplify it to ear-smashing levels, suck out the few small traces of warmth and sincerity, and throw in a lot of extra pratfalls. And the thing has about as much to do with "the Christmas spirit" as Paris Hilton has to do with "the human race." The thing holds a place of dishonor right next to Ghostbusters 2, Caddyshack 2 and Blues Brothers 2000. Yeah, I hate it that much.
Christmas with the Kranks (2004) -- Based on a John Grisham story (cuz if Grisham is known for one thing, it's ... holiday comedy), this shockingly unpleasant lump of cinematic coal stars Tim Allen (what, does he HATE Christmas?) and Jamie Lee Curtis as a married couple who decide to avoid the conformity and commercialism of the holiday season and take a vacation during the Christmas break -- only to cave in and become desperate troglodytes when their co-ed daughter returns to the roost. Listless, lifeless and lazy in every sense of the word, this one's got to be one of the least appealing Xmas comedies of all time. (And here's something for your stocking. The complete directorial credits of Joe Roth (former head of Fox, Disney and Revolution) are as follows: Streets of Gold (1986), Revenge of the Nerds 2: Nerds in Paradise (1987), Coupe De Ville (1990), America's Sweethearts (2001), Christmas with the Kranks (2004) and Freedomland (2006).) Joe better hope Santa Claus isn't a big movie buff.
Santa with Muscles (1996) -- I guess it's kind of a cheat to include a John Murlwoski movie that stars Hulk Hogan and is called Santa with Muscles, but hey it's my list. And I once caught this movie on TNT and simply couldn't peel my retinae away from the vicious, gaping maw of its unrelenting awfulness. (Seriously though: "Santa with Muscles??" THAT'S your title?) Written by three first-time scribes who never worked again, featuring the humiliated visages of Garrett Morris, Ed Begley Jr., Clint Howard and a young Mila Kunis, "SWM" is precisely what you'd expect from a Christmas comedy directed by the guy who did Amityville: A New Generation, The Secret Agent Club and Terminal Error. (Although to be fair, I did enjoy his Black Cadillac.) The story of a grinch turned good is so freakin' rotten, it almost makes a Mr. Nanny / Suburban Commando double feature sound appealing. (I said almost.)
Surviving Christmas (2004) -- It took twowholewritingteams, the director of Deuce Bigalow, and the combined disinterest of Ben Affleck, James Gandolfini and Catherine O'Hara to deliver 2004's second piece of heartless and casually soul-deficient Christmas "comedy." The gag here is that a lonely millionaire would pay a lot of money to spend the holiday season with an average American schmo family. And get this: There's dysfunction, slapstick and pap on the menu! Dig in! It's like Meet the Parents, Kinda! Although Affleck took much of the blame for this fiasco, he seems to be the only one with half an interest in the thing. And to waste the little-seen skills of comediennes like O'Hara and Christina Applegate... Ugh, too depressing to dwell upon. But yeah: Gandolfini in a comedy. Great choice.
Jingle All the Way (1996) -- Only the man who directed Problem Child 2, Beethoven, Snow Dogs, Are We There Yet? and both Flintstonesmovies could mount such an astronomically wrong-headed and hate-filled "Christmas" farce like this one. I don't know if the screenwriter did it on purpose or not, but Jingle All the Way just might be the most venal, mindless and distasteful movie to ever be affiliated with the yuletide season. (And yes that includes Silent Night, Deadly Night and its quartet of wretched sequels). With its endless deluge of horrifcally bad physical comedy, childishly half-baked swipes at consumerism and a schizophrenic tone that actually promotes what it's trying to lampoon, I'd call Jingle All the Way one of the very worst comedies I've ever seen -- and I once sat through that Jerry Springermovie! Pathetic, false and literally painful to watch.
Happy Holidays to all, including all of the filmmakers who helped to create the aforementioned films.

The Most Heartwarming Parenting Stories of 2012Danielle Sullivan
With our minds so heavily clouded from recent tragic events, it might be easy to start to view the world as a dark place where evil prevails, but like the popular meme making the rounds on Facebook and Pinterest, we need to look for the helpers.
The truth is that the good people far outweigh the bad, and together we can all make this world and our communities a better place to live.
So we decided to do a round-up of the most heartwarming stories covered here in 2012, in part to remind us all that every single day, we have people who go out of the way (and often place themselves in danger) just to help others. Others simply give it their all and overcome immense odds to accomplish their goals becoming proud examples for us all.
As a parenting writer for the past 12 years, I can tell you that these tales may not get as much coverage as the more shocking stories, but they are definitely out there…because at our core, people are inherently good.
Click through these top ten heartwarming stories of 2012:

Film Tours: Hollywood and Beyond1
The post-Oscar buzz has likely reached your office desk over the past few days. You have probably overheard the break room chatter. Who showed up with whom? Did George Clooney match his world peace accolades with a shiny gold trophy? Will Amy Adams outdo her 2005 Caroline Herrera getup with an 'Enchanted' fairytale gown? Oh, and who won the award for Best Sound Mixing? Right.
Whether you are willing to admit it to your co-workers or not, you do hold a place in your heart for Hollywood glamour. Many of you are still recovering from the all-nighter you pulled in order to catch a live feed of the 80th Annual Academy Awards. Some of you have since wasted hours of valuable work/Facebook time ogling red carpet wire images and fashionista ratings. Let's face it, a noteworthy portion of your Google searches are dedicated to pop culture happenings (after all, how did you end up here?) .
More significantly, you may even dream of one day journeying to the motherland of fame and fortune—strolling down Rodeo Drive, embarking on a behind-the-scenes tour, and, if you're lucky, spotting a celebrity or two in person.
It is here that I provide some new inspiration for adventure-seeking film buffs. Why not replace your celeb-stalking hour with a bit of online travel planning? A rapidly increasing number of Hollywood films are being made in beautiful and exotic destinations across North America and around the world. With some research and careful budgeting, you could turn your next trip abroad into a personalized, unique 'Hollywood' tour—without having to brave the Los Angeles freeway in a cheap rental car. I can get you started now with a few suggestions:
Some new frontiers for film lovers…
The American South: Berendt's Mysteries Unveiled
If the U.S. is your vacation playground, you may want to forgo the usual big city jaunt for bit of southern charm. Savannah, Georgia is arguably the friendliest and most picturesque city in the country; over sixty motion pictures have been filmed amidst its captivating tree lined streets and majestic antebellum mansions. Take a guided bus tour and search for sites from Forrest Gump, Cape Fear and, most famously, John Berendt's novel-turned-blockbuster film: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Trace the murder mystery plot (based on true occurrences) by visiting the Mercer House, former home of the legendary Jim Williams, and catch a performance by the real "Lady Chablis" at Club One. If you're lucky, you may encounter other book and movie characters—old acquaintances of Berendt's—who still reside in Savannah today. continue reading

Has anyone had problems with their 39-2 jamming with cheap ammo? The spring in my mag may be worn, but the last 100rds i put through it jammed 6 or 7 times. The casing got stuck in the barrel. Can anyone explain to me why that is happening?

The club essentially has three options when it comes to what to do at third; they can give the role to Brandon Inge on a full-time basis, they can bring back Eric Munson with the plan to give him every opportunity to win the job and move Inge back to the utility role, or they could look outside the organization to solidify the spot.
The biggest issue of course, is that there is no guarantee. Inge had a tremendous 2004 season for the Tigers, but also came into the year with a batting average below .200. The issue also exists that it would be robbing the team of a strong utility player, a necessity on any solid ballclub because of injuries.
The team could elect to bring back Munson, but there's no guarantee he'll be able to raise his average (a necessity with manager Alan Trammell) or improve his horrid defense. The problem of course is that Munson led the team in HR's per at bat (1 HR for each 16.9 at bats), and on a team where only2 players made it to the 20-homer plateau, power is a tool the Tigers cannot afford to be giving away.
The third option would be appear to be the most desirable – acquiring a new player, adding another big bat to the lineup. This would eliminate both aforementioned problems with using either Munson or Inge at the spot, Inge would remain in the utility role, and you would hopefully be replacing Munson with another player that has a similar bat.
Unfortunately, this particular option has one major issue – there's no guarantee the Tigers would be able to acquire a top player via free agency. The Tigers were able to land a number of free agents in the previous offseason, but that was largely due to the team's willingness to overpay for the player's services. The front office would be much harder pressed to out-spend the richest clubs in baseball. Plus, even if the team could offer a competitive salary, there's no guarantee that a player such as Adrian Beltre, Troy Glaus, or even Mike Lowell would be interested in coming.
So, with this examination, its clear there's no one good answer. However, if this particular writer were in charge, he'd take advantage of the extremely strong crop of Third Baseman on the market this offseason and make a strong push for one of them. The Tigers have plenty of potential down on the farm at the position, but no sure-fire prospects in the caliber of David Wright or Dallas McPherson.
The Tigers made great strides in 2004, but they can't stop now and be content with the advancements they've made. To take the next step, the team needs another big bat in the middle of the lineup, to offer protection to the other hitters in the lineup. There's no guarantee that the Tigers will land one of the premier free agents – and in that case, they'll still have a very serviceable option in Inge. But the Tigers owe it to themselves, and to the fans of Detroit, to make every effort possible to upgrade this team – and Third Base is just the way to go about it.

AIDS babies
Re Elizabeth Dwoskin's 'The AIDS-Babies-as-Guinea-Pigs Story Is Finally Over. Right?' [April 1–7]: Dwoskin has the nerve to accuse another reporter of being on a crusade? Give me a break. She's riding a pretty high horse herself. I hate it when articles show a writer's subtle bias. Fortunately, that was not the case with this one.
Statements on the first page disclose an agenda to back up establishment "science," dissent be damned. I'm not surprised to read a hatchet job in the Voice, but am really puzzled about the motives behind this one.

Re Tom Robbins's 'Bloomberg's Homeless Pledges Fell Far Short' [March 18–24]: Mr. Robbins, clearly, brings this plight to "sight" because it is easy to ignore. In that process of turning away, perhaps the bailout will allow the homeless to once again be "seen." Great article!

In 'Shakedown at the Pension Fund' [March 25–31], Tom Robbins erred in describing Levine Leichtman Capital Partners as a "client" of indicted political consultant Hank Morris.

PORTALES, N.M. - Roosevelt County will go without a county manager for six months or longer as two county employees officially will divide the manager's duties they have been doing since the position opened.
The county commission last week decided to increase the pay for Finance Administrator Tammy Lee and Accounts and Grants Manager Charlene Hardin as they continue the additional work, which will be done on an interim basis, said David McDermid, chairman of the county board.
"The commission at the moment couldn't make a decision, and in the meantime, we thought it wasn't fair for the girls to take on extra duties and not be paid for it," he said.
The commission chose Tammie Gerrard of Albuquerque as a finalist for the position, but negotiations broke down when the commission could not meet her salary needs, he said.
Lee and Hardin will have their salaries bumped up $6,000, from $22,000 each to $28,000, Lee said.
"Now that it's official, we're both very optimistic and excited," Lee said.
Lee had been hired to take control of personnel and insurance benefits. Her part of the county manager's work will include accounts payable, inventory, working with a risk management bureau in Santa Fe, payroll, dealing with the commission and working with the New Mexico Association of Counties in Santa Fe.
Hardin will be responsible for writing grants, which she was doing before, as well as taking care of the budget, interaction with other government agencies, making sure the county is in compliance with government requirements and interacting with the county auditors.
"We held everything together for the past four months. It gives us some assurance. They've given us more direction on who's going to handle what," she said.
The county manager position became open Aug. 6 when Kendell Terry resigned to become the branch manager at First Bank in Portales. He had served with the county since October 1999.

Scientists in China say they have created nanoparticles that are capable of delivering drugs to targeted cancer cells. According to the research team, the multifunctional "smart" gold nanoshells could lead to more effective cancer treatments by overcoming a major limitation of modern chemotherapy techniques—the ability to zero in on specific cancer cells and leave healthy cells untouched.
Small peptides situated on the surface of the nanoshells are the key to the improved targeting ability, guiding the nanoshells to specific cancer cells and attaching to markers on the surface of the cells, explains Shunying Liu, Ph.D., a scientist at East China Normal University. The acidic environment of the cancer cells then triggers the offloading of the anticancer drugs.
The specific nanostructure of the gold nanoshells could also allow near-infrared light to be absorbed and converted into heat, opening up the possibility of using the nanoshells in targeted hyperthermia treatment—another form of cancer treatment whereby cancer cells are exposed to slightly higher temperatures than usual to destroy them.
The results of the nanoshells' study ("Smart gold nanoshells for combined cancer chemotherapy and hyperthermia") are published in Biomedical Materials.
The researchers, from East China Normal University and Tongji University, used the gold nanoshells as a building block to which they attached the commonly used anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and a specific peptide known as A54. The gold nanoshells had diameters of around 200 nanometers (more than 50 times smaller than a red blood cell).
"DOX-modified GNs [gold nanoshells] showed pH-dependent release behavior, and the in vitro cell uptake experiment using ICP-AES [inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy] and microscopy showed greater internalization of A54-modified GNs in the human liver cancer cell line BEL-7402 than of those without A54," wrote the investigators. "Flow cytometry and fluoroscopy analysis were conducted to reveal the enhanced cell apoptosis caused by the A54-modified GNs under combined chemotherapeutic and hyperthermia therapies. These results imply that [email protected]
The next step of this research will be to test the smart gold nanoshells in vivo on a liver cancer mouse model, notes Dr. Liu. "We will also examine how the size of the nanoshells changes their efficacy and how efficient the nanoshells are at converting near-infrared light into heat," she says.

It may seem rather ambitious with a new coach to expect them to enter their bye week on Oct. 14 undefeated, but it may be a possibility.
The Steelers open the 2007 season in Cleveland on Sunday as 41/2-point favorites. Unless they perform awfully Sunday, they'll most likely be favored the following week for their home opener against Buffalo.
They then host San Francisco, travel to Arizona and host Seattle. None of the first five games can be considered a sure win, but the Steelers could conceivably be favored in all five games.
After the bye week, the schedule becomes difficult with road games against Denver and Cincinnati, followed by a home game with Baltimore.
In fact, in the 11 games after the bye week, the Steelers may be hard-pressed to compile a 6-5 record.
That's why a good start to the 2007 season is extra critical for the Steelers this year. A 3-2 record or worse entering the bye week could ultimately prove to be too much to secure a playoff spot.
Three tight ends?
Much of the talk in the offseason focused on new offensive coordinator Bruce Arians' love affair with a three-tight end formation.
That was one of the reasons given when the Steelers picked tight end Matt Spaeth in the third round of the draft — passing up offensive linemen and running backs.
The formation also nearly became a factor in the Steelers possibly releasing fullback Dan Kreider, which didn't happen.
In the preseason, the Steelers rarely showed the three-tight end look, and Spaeth was mostly invisible. Backup Jerame Tuman battled minor injuries and didn't see much action.
The Steelers only kept three tight ends on their roster — Heath Miller, Tuman and Spaeth. At this stage, you have to wonder if the three-tight end formation may be on the back burner.
NFL Week 1
Game of the week: Baltimore (+21/2) at Cincinnati, 7 p.m. Monday. An early AFC North showdown featuring two teams that are polar opposites.
Upset special: Buffalo (+31/2) at home vs. Denver.
Fantasy tip: Don't be too tempted to start all of your Lions against Oakland (2-14 last year) this week. The Lions will be outdoors, and the Raiders' defense is pretty solid.
