COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 26, 2012) – The scores were different, but the winners stayed the same for a second year at the Manhattan Beach Open as both the 2011 men's and women's champions repeated on Sunday.
On the women's side, No. 1 seeded Jenny Kropp (Grand Island, Neb.) and Whitney Pavlik (Laguna Beach, Calif.) took their second straight Manhattan Beach title, defeating No 3 Jennifer Fopma (Bellflower, Calif.) and Brooke Sweat (Fort Myers, Fla.) in Sunday's final, 21-17, 21-16.
The victory was also Kropp and Pavlik's fifth on the 2012 Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Series
In the men's final on Sunday, No. 3 John Hyden (Sherman Oaks, Calif.) and Sean Scott (Kailua, Hawaii) defeated No. 8 Ryan Doherty (Toms River, N.J.) and Casey Patterson (Van Nuys, Calif.), 21-13, 21-17.
The victory was Hyden and Scott's fourth on the Jose Cuervo Series this year.
"We wanted to come out and make a statement that even though we're older and some of those guys haven't been around for a while, we're still the team to beat," Hyden said. "We came out trying to serve tough and get guys off their game by having them pass badly and it worked for us."
Hyden and Scott only played one three-set match in the tournament, defeating No. 2 Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Nick Lucena (Fort Lauderdale, Calif.) in Sunday's fourth round, 21-15, 22-24, 15-11. In the semifinals, Hyden and Scott topped No. 5 Billy Allen (Fallbrook, Calif.) and Matt Prosser (Ventura, Calif.), 21-19, 21-19.
"This one's a lot sweeter for me," Scott said. "To be able to come back this year with the FIVB teams here and be able to do it again in front of friends and family and prove that last year wasn't a fluke. We're a good team and we're going to come at you when you step on the court."
In the final match, Hyden and Scott led in kills (22-19), blocks (6-3) and aces (6-0). Hyden and Scott each had 11 attacks and three aces while Scott had all six blocks. Doherty had all three of his team's blocks while Patterson led in kills with 12.
In the women's final match, Kropp and Pavlik led in kills (24-18) and blocks (4-0). The teams tied in aces (3-3). Kropp and Pavlik each scored on 12 kills while Kropp had all four blocks and Pavlik had all three aces. Sweat led her team with 13 attacks and two aces.
"I think today, all three games, we definitely came out hard and strong and we played the best that we've ever played," Pavlik said.
Kropp and Pavlik did not drop a set in the tournament. On Sunday they defeated No. 4 Lauren Fendrick (Carlsbad, Calif.) and Rachel Scott (Laguna Beach, Calif.) in the fourth round, 21-15, 21-16 before beating No. 7 Nicole Branagh (Orinda, Calif.) and Brittany Hochevar (Fowler, Colo.) in the semifinals, 21-16, 21-11.
"That was one of our focuses," Kropp said of the two-set victories. "Because we've been winning, but in three every game and it wears you out. We had to come up with a plan with our coach, Barb Fontana, to really focus and decide to be mentally tough and win in two. It was something we mentally worked on."
The Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Series will resume Sept. 21-23 at the Huntington Beach National Championships.

It's all about attitudesPosted Friday, September 24, 2010, at 10:39 AM
I just can't understand when God made us to live together or work together, why he made one hot natured and one cold natured. I'm telling you, this can get down right dangerous! In other words, it can lead to a "heated" conversation" and end up "cold" attitudes.
Collin, my husband, swears I'm trying to freeze him, but all I want is to be comfortable. I think he is trying to burn me up, and all he wants is to also be comfortable. Once in a blue moon, we are hot or cold at the same time. Woo-hoo!
Then I go to the office. Mary and Dorothy are freezing and I am burning up. Doesn't matter - winter, summer, spring or fall, these ladies will use their heaters and I, along with the air conditioner, will have fans going.
When my mother was entering the hot flash time of her life, she says I nearly burned her up with lights and the furnace. When I reached that point in my life, I called her one day and asked her how long these things would last. Her retort to me was, "Well, for you, I hope forever!"
Can you imagine my mom saying this to me? I really believe she prayed for me to be forever hot because I see no signs of it letting up.
I sorta got even with her when she was spending a weekend with us recently. As usual, she was cold and letting it be known in no uncertain terms. Actually, she was recuperating from knee surgery and couldn't get around very well. I put her in bed and turned the bedwarmer on high, but I put the air conditioner on low. She was in my territory now. But, there was Collin saying he was freezing, so up goes the air conditiioner. Out numbered again.
Back in the old days, Mom and I were in agreement that if you're cold, you can put on more clothing. But if you're hot, there's not a darn thing you can do about it. I still maintain that argument, but Mom has deserted me. What happened Mom? Where's those extra articles of clothing you used to say people should be wearing? I do admit Mary will layer her clothing to help me and Dorothy moves her heater closer to her.
Thanks girls.
Have you ever noticed that most people are more jolly in the winter?
They come inside shaking their boots or coats, and most of them are laughing and many times asking, "Where's the hot chocolate or coffee?" Watch them in the heat of summer. They are hot and sweaty and dragging, saying "Oh man, this heat! When is it ever going to cool down?" You can almost bet if there is a chair nearby that is where they are going to land. To me, winter energizes and summer drains.
I must admit that last winter I had to eat my words, for there were one or two days when I actually got cold. I'm sure in the future my main diet of words will be, "Geez, I'm freezing my tush off! Turn up the heat!"
Oh well, my philosophy has always been "This, too, shall pass."
But in this case, I just don't know.
Keep your e-mails coming. Remember they are a source of encouragement to me. (email@example.com)

Hi Kathleen,
I just had to let you know that you are talking about me in this article. I am always "freezing" my husband and son, because I want to be comfortable. And, what do I say to them? I tell them "you can put on more clothes if you are cold, I can't take off clothes when I am hot". Funny....

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
date MMDDhhmmYYYY
date MMDDhhmm
# example 27.12.1975 08:00
date 122708001975
you will hear how many seconds since 1.1.1970 in english words with billions, millions and thousands.
this is very useful, if you want to get over to use the unixtimestamp instead of the 24 hour clock in your dayly life
Create a file with actual date as filename
More recent versions of the date command finally have the ability to decode the unix epoch time into a human readable date. This function makes it simple to utilize this feature quickly.
If you have used bash for any scripting, you've used the date command alot. It's perfect for using as a way to create filename's dynamically within aliases,functions, and commands like below.. This is actually an update to my first alias, since a few commenters (below) had good observations on what was wrong with my first command.
# creating a date-based ssh-key for askapache.github.com
ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/`date +git-$USER@$HOSTNAME-%m-%d-%g` -C [email protected]'
# [email protected]
# create a tar+gzip backup of the current directory
tar -czf $(date +$HOME/.backups/%m-%d-%g-%R-`sed -u 's/\//#/g' <<< $PWD`.tgz) .
# tar -czf /home/gpl/.backups/04-22-10-01:13-#home#gpl#.rr#src.tgz .
I personally find myself having to reference
date --help
quite a bit as a result. So this nice alias saves me a lot of time. This is one bdash mofo. Works in sh and bash (posix), but will likely need to be changed for other shells due to the parameter substitution going on.. Just extend the sed command, I prefer sed to pretty much everything anyways.. but it's always preferable to put in the extra effort to go for as much builtin use as you can. Otherwise it's not a top one-liner, it's a lazyboy recliner.
Here's the old version:
alias dateh='date --help|sed "/^ *%%/,/^ *%Z/!d;s/ \+/ /g"|while read l;do date "+ %${l/% */}_${l/% */}_${l#* }";done|column -s_ -t'
This trick from my [ http://www.askapache.com/linux-unix/bash_profile-functions-advanced-shell.html bash_profile ]
Several people have submitted commands to do this, but I think this is the simplest solution. It also happens to be the most portable one: It should work with any sh or csh derived shell under any UNIX-like OS.
Oh by the way, with my German locale ($LC_TIME set appropriately) it prints "g" most of the time, and sometimes (on Wednesdays) it prints "h". It never prints "y".
A command to find out what the day ends in. Can be edited slightly to find out what "any" output ends in.
NB: I haven't tested with weird and wonderful output.
The shell has perfectly adequate pattern matching for simple expressions.
(Useful when firewalls prevent you from using NTP.)
This produces a parseable output of the last day of the month in future or past. Change the '-v-0m' to be a month plus or minus from the current system time.
If you don't have netcat, you can use curl.
Good when firewalled and only in need of a reasonable accurate time.
Use a fast responding web server.
That works in all softs, CLI or GUI... I don't want to waste time to all the time typing the same stuff . So, I have that command in my window manager shortcuts ( meta+l ). All the window managers have editable shortcuts AFAIK. If not, or you don't want to use it that way, you can easily use the xbindkeys soft.
I you're using kde4, you can run :
then open "inputs actions" and create a new shortcut.
For Gnome take a look there : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-create-keyboard-shortcuts-in-gnome/
A more advanced one, with strings and newlines :
xvkbd -xsendevent -text "---8<-----\nToday date is: $(date +%Y%m%d)\n---8<-----"
For complicated or long paste, you can feed xvkbd with a file :
xvkbd -xsendevent -file <file>
You can simulate ^C ( control+c ) too or others combinations of keys :
xvkbd -text "\C\Ac"
There's no man page nor help ( On my Archlinux distro ), but you can see online doc there : http://homepage3.nifty.com/tsato/xvkbd/
Not perl but shorter.
This script creates date based backups of the files. It copies the files to the same place the original ones are but with an additional extension that is the timestamp of the copy on the following format: YearMonthDay-HourMinuteSecond
already described on the other two versions, this one uses ascii characters on game style to display elapsed time.
Variation of the theme, this one blinks in low profile on top level of X, ie, it is visible, indeed small.
Try changing fonts and sizes of osd_cat
Works on real time clock, unix time based, decrementing the actual time from initial time saved in an environment variable exported to child process inside watch
Shows elapsed time from start of script in hh:mm:ss format
Non afected by system slow down due to the use of date.

Neighborhood News
I love Halloween! I love the drama, the creativity and the neighborhood connectivity that results from this holiday even if we do only get about 15 or 20 kids at our door. But this year, Halloween was at an all time low at my house.
First, my daughter mentioned that she would go home on her friend's school bus, eat dinner there and trick-or-treat in their neighborhood-that meant no photo op or even seeing her off.
My enthusiasm still intact, I dressed up in my costume early in the evening, filled a bowl with full-sized candy bars (yes all you kids, you missed out on that) and lit the jack-o-lanterns. I popped open a bottle of wine, spread a new jigsaw puzzle on the table for my husband and I to work on and waited, and waited, and waited.
Only one Preschooler and two Intermediate age kids rang the bell by 7:30pm. Half an hour later, I had removed my costume. No one else came, not even the High School stragglers. Only three kids came the whole night even though we live in the Village surrounded by housing tracts.
Ah well, maybe next year they'll be back.
Sears Supports their Military Employees:
By law, companies in the United States must keep an employees job open when they are called to active duty. This usually results in a big pay cut and lost benefits and it makes a huge impact on their family.
I was thrilled to find out that the Sears Corporation goes above and beyond what they are legally required to do. Not only do they keep the employees job open for them but they pay their salary difference and maintain all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs.
Now that is an exemplary example of the good old American spirit. Next time you stop in at Eastview Mall, think about shopping at Sears, an all-American store.
Bead Earrings Workshop at Ganondagan:
Interpreter Tonia Galban-Loren will teach participants how to make a pair of pierced cone earrings with dangle beads. Pre-registration by November 4th preferred.
When: Saturday, November 5, 10:30-12:00pm.
Where: Visitors Center, Ganondagan National State Historic Site, 1488 Ste. Rte. 444, Victor
Workshop Fees: $20/Members and $25/Non-members. Includes materials.

The OverLores Episode 27 – Prophet Velen is a Barbarian!
This week Rilandune, Nevik, and Kharendos are joined again by Matt Rossi of WoW Insider! We had Matt on way back when for our discussion of the Baine Bloodhoof short story.
Matt has returned this time for an academic discussion of Barbarians in Diablo 3… well, actually to talk about the short story – Velen: Prophet's Lesson. This is, of course, the faction leader story for the Draenei leader, Prophet Velen.
We had a great time talking about the story, the Draenei, and of course a little pinch of Diablo 3 for flavor.
Sit back, Relax, and Enjoy!

Should be free from snow
While snow is inevitable, it's also wise (and in some towns a law) to make sure that a driver's vision, both front and back, are not obstructed.
Wisconsin and Michigan: An object that obstructs the vision of the driver is prohibited. (Snow is an object). Actually the whole vehicle; hood, roof, lights and windows should be free from snow covering.
It's even unlawful for semi-trailers to have falling snow from the trailer top. It's always wise to keep yourself safe by clearing the whole vehicle of an obstructed object, even though many laws are not enforced.
Wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry?

Oh man, I just realized that if I want to watch the start of Sunday's competition, I'd have to wake up before 4:30AM in the morning due to the time difference. That's insane for me, especially on a weekend! Luckily the Senior Men's event is scheduled at a reasonable time, but I may not be able to watch the Junior Men or the Senior Ladies.
Is Viktoria the older Helgesson sister? Just wondering. She's the one I've seen more, although I really like both.

So, I suppose Rebecka and Isabelle go to junior worlds. Good luck!
I can't believe it myself, but I'm up. Granted, I'm half-asleep, but I managed to drag myself out of bed for 4:30AM. The first group for the Juniors Men is currently warming up. I probably won't be able to say much during today's competition because I'm just soooooooooooooo tired...

Clovis dentist indicted
December 29, 2005
Clovis dentist James Smith was indicted by a grand jury Thursday for the murder, rape and kidnapping of Laura McNaughton and for three counts of tampering with evidence, according to a release from 9th Judicial District Attorney Matt Chandler.
Chandler said he will make a decision in 90 days on whether he will pursue the death penalty.
"The decision (whether to pursue the death penalty) will be made after review of all evidence, discussion with the victim's family and much thought and prayer," Chandler said.
Two of five circumstances that would allow the death penalty to be instituted in New Mexico are allegedly met in the case: killing in the act of kidnapping and killing in the act of rape, Chandler said.
McNaughton's naked body was found Dec. 10 by hunters in a ditch in the Pleasant Hill community north of Clovis. Officials have said she was strangled.
Smith is being held without bond at the Curry County Adult Detention Center.
His attorney, Steve Doerr of Portales, did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Smith frequented the Clovis restaurant where McNaughton, 30, worked as a waitress, and he'd leave her large tips, police allege.
McNaughton was last seen at the restaurant and the next day her body was found.
DNA consistent with McNaughton's was found in blood inside Smith's truck by police, records show.
Forensic evidence has not all returned from the New Mexico Crime Lab, but the majority of evidence has been sent, Chandler said.
Some evidence that the state lab doesn't have the capacity to test will be sent to independent labs, Chandler said.
Smith attempted suicide Dec. 13, after officials questioned him on McNaughton's death the day before.
In a note to his wife, Smith denied killing McNaughton, court records show.

Expert Q & A Answers About herpes 2
What STD tests should we have before getting married?
My girlfriend and I aren't going to sleep together until we're married...but she has had two previous partners, and I haven't had any. What kinds of STD testing should we have before marriage to make sure we're both healthy? I've heard that HIV might not show any physical effects for a long time, so this worries me.
Is a cure for herpes in the works?
Are researchers looking for a cure for herpes? If so, how long will people living with herpes need to wait before we see a cure? Do researchers need funds?
I think I have herpes...will I ever be able to have sex again?
I am a male who has never had sex with a female, and about a year ago I had sexual activity with another male. Come to find out, I got genital herpes from it. I have never been tested or taken medication, but I'm pretty sure I've had about three herpes outbreaks. I am straight and all of my friends think that there is something wrong with me because I have not had sex yet (with a woman). But now I don't want to take the risk of having sex with a woman and spreading the disease, especially because everyone knows I'm a virgin. Could I say I got herpes from oral sex? I have no clue what to do!
How can I keep from spreading genital herpes to my boyfriend?
I was raped and found out later that I have herpes. Can I have sex with my boyfriend without infecting him and are there limits to what we can do sexually? Is there some kind of vaccine he can get so that he doesn't contract this virus?
Can I get herpes from giving my girlfriend oral sex?
After performing oral sex on my girlfriend, I break out with cold sores around my mouth. Am I at risk for herpes?
Can the herpes virus remain dormant for a period of up to 30 years before any symptoms are evident?
My wife was recently diagnosed with HSV-2 after showing typical blistering in the vaginal area and having both blood and swab tests. Her physician prescribed Valtrex for treatment. We have been in a monogamous relationship for over 30 years and neither of us have had any visual symptoms in the past. She did have a similar occurrence about a year ago but tested negative. Her symptoms came in conjunction with several menstrual cycle problems and several yeast infections, all of which have been treated by her physician. I plan on getting tested, and believe that I'll most likely test positive. Her doctor told her that he has never witnessed the virus being dormant for more than 12 years. This has caused her to doubt my faithfulness in the relationship, which I understand under the circumstances. I do not doubt her faithfulness at all. I could easily accept the fact that I (or she, for that matter) was infected prior to our marriage over 30 years ago and never knew...can the herpes virus remain dormant for that long before showing symptoms?

Miners take regional opener, then ousted by W-P
TRAVERSE CITY – They won their first regional tournament game Saturday, but the Negaunee High School baseball Miners came up short in their second
NHS beat Charlevoix, 2-1, at Traverse City St. Francis in MHSAA Division 3 Region 17 semifinal play. But the Miners then dropped the title game, 7-2, to Whittemore-Prescott to end their season at 14-8.
Tyler Jandron smacked a triple to score Tyler LaJoie – who had singled – in the opening frame against Charlevoix.
Jandron then scored Negaunee's final run of the game.
The Rayders got their run in the first when Nate Moon scored, but were stymied the rest of the way by pitcher Jandron.
He wound up allowing but three hits and two walks while striking out 11.
Jandron recorded two of the Miners' seven hits. Dusty Goupille added a single and an RBI.
Against Whittemore-Prescott, NHS fell prey to five third inning errors while Goupille was pitching that led to five W-P unearned runs.
"That pretty much cost us the game," NHS assistant coach James Larsen III said.
Goupille, Jandron and Tony Zampese shared the mound duties for the Miners.
Luke Hill hit an RBI-single for NHS and teammate Eric Lori also knocked in a run.
Larsen said NHS manager Mark Hill was presented a District Coach of the Year Award by the regional tournament manager.

Last week I received my two Pu erh teas from Yunnan Sourcing:
2006 Jiu Wan Tong Qing Hao Raw Pu-erh Tea Brick
2004 Six Famous Tea Mountain Ripe Pu-erh Tea Brick
So far I've just tried the 2006 Jiu Wan Tong Qing Hao. I didn't bother trying to analyze what flavors I was tasting or how the tea changed, I just was trying to get my method down.
I thought I knew what I was doing, but right away I ran into questions. I didn't know how much to use. I took a butter knife and pried some chunks off and probably got 2 teaspoons off, which I'd guess would be 4 teaspoons had it been loose tea.
Then the next question came up....how would i brew this using what i have. Every thing I've recall reading seemed to talk about using a gaiwan or yixing pot. All of I have is my IngenuiTEA.
I figure as long as I have hot water and tea leaves, I can make tea so I forge ahead. I put the tea chunks in and covered with 8oz of boiling water, swirled it a bit then let it sit for 15 seconds, then drained down the sink. Another 8oz of boiling water and after 15 seconds, drained into my cup. Pretty weak stuff, but the chunks were still chunks. Another 8 oz and 30 seconds, then 45s, then 60s, then 120s.
This leads to some questions...given that all I have is my Ingenuity...
1. How much tea?
2. Should the chunks be broken up or left as chunks?
3. How much water? I get the sense that you don't make 16oz at a time when making pu erh.
After the first weak cup, the cups got better and better and I thoroughly enjoyed them. The flavor and aroma was deep and complex, and left me with the thought that they were vaguely familiar, but I couldn't place them, except for the smell of damp moss. The tea also left some sort of sensation on my tongue that lingered long after I had finished, and kept me thinking of this new tea experience.
In all, I think I can say I'm hooked. I definitely need to refine my method and some point I imagine I'll buy a yixing pot.

Aw, people make their jibes at All Bar One but the place continues to multiply their cardboard cutout chain stores and restaurants all over the country. Certainly, the bar has been equated with middle class values, unimagination, death to the mom and pop shop.
I like it particularly because the beer on draft is good, the wines on offer are very good and it is all very predictable- the same no matter if I'm in Putney or Notting Hill. And the food is pretty good- with very generous portions. Perfect fodder for a comforting sort of Friday lunch time routine. It has its appeal.

Gents, got a letter last week from the Browns thanking me for being a season ticket holder and including $25 to spend at concession stand (not good for beer).
Then I get an email with a fan survery this morning.
Add in his visits to the cheap seats in the preseason .
I think his machine is in full speed mode behind the scenes to hit the ground running when the sale goes through.
As pessimistic I feel about the on-field team, I think this owner might be a breath of fresh air.

Jared Newman, CineSport—Eli Manning and the New York Giants continued their hot & cold season, losing to RGIII and the Washington Redskins on Monday night 17-16 after blowing out the Packers last week, 38-10.
In that dominating performance against Green Bay, the Giants held one of the league's best quarterbacks to 219 yards through the air and kept him from scoring at all in the second half.
The week before, however, they gave up four touchdown passes to Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton, which was a career high for the second-year pro. That marked their second loss in a row, following four consecutive victories.
And now, just eight days after blowing out the NFC North-leading Packers, the Giants fell to a team with a losing record coming into Monday night in a sloppy game that featured a season-high nine penalties by New York.
Yet, despite all of this, Giants fans can't be all that surprised. This type of unsteady play has been pretty normal for them in the Tom Coughlin Era.
The Giants have been consistently both terrible and great over the last few years, and the barometer for their success is still Eli Manning, at least for the most part.
In New York's five losses this season, Manning has thrown four TD passes and four interceptions. He has thrown 12 TD passes and seven interceptions in the Giants' seven victories.
Manning had a real chance to win this game against Washington. The Giants defense forced the Redskins to punt with a little more than six minutes remaining and Manning only needed to get his offense into field-goal range to put his team back on top. But after six plays, the Giants were facing 4th-and-16 and were forced to punt.
There was, however, at least one factor outside of Manning's control which caused the drive to fail: Eli.completed a pass to Martellus Bennett that would have been good for a first down on 3rd-and-10 if Will Beatty hadn't committed a holding penalty.
But for those who were expecting the quarterback who tied the NFL record for most game-winning drives in a season in 2011-12 to find a way to get the job done against RGIII, last night's failed comeback must have been a disappointment.
Still, last season's matchups against Washington turned out much worse for New York.
In 2011, the Redskins swept the Giants in the regular season and finished the season at just 5-11. Worse still the Redskins were being quarterbacked by Rex Grossman and neither game was even close in score. The Redskins won by double digits on both occasions.
Manning's numbers last night weren't egregiously bad. He threw for 280 yards and a touchdown and had no turnovers.
Rather than Manning, what Giants fans should be worried about is New York's upcoming schedule.
Next week the Giants have to take on the Saints and Drew Brees, who will be looking to redeem himself after throwing five interceptions to the Atlanta Falcons last Thursday. After that, New York will play the 11-1 Falcons in Atlanta.
Next they'll travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens, who have only lost at home once this season. To close out the year, they have a cupcake game against the Eagles in Week 17.
The Giants' lead over the Redskins and the Cowboys in the East is a mere one game, so perhaps this loss to Washington will serve as a wake-up call that being eclipsed by another team for the NFC East title is a real possibility.
With a team that has a habit of running hot and cold, it is hard to see the Giants being able to turn it on for the rest of the year and also maintain stellar play through the postseason.
Maybe things will be different this season, but with Coughlin and company, the pattern has been obvious.
All you have to do is look at the Giants' quarterback, who epitomizes everything that they are: Manning is a two-time Super Bowl MVP who set the NFL record for most fourth-quarter touchdown passes in a season in 2011, yet has thrown the most interceptions in the NFL since 2009.
It doesn't get much better or much worse than that.
Week 13 in the NFL finished up with a NFC East divisional battle on Monday night. Eli Manning and the Giants took their two-game lead down I-95 for a road contest against Robert Griffin III and the rejuvenated Redskins.
New York led 16-10 heading into the fourth quarter on the heels of a Manning touchdown pass and three field-goals from Lawrence Tynes. However, the potential balance of power in the division shifted with 11:31 remaining when RG3 found Pierre Garcon for a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown that proved to be the difference in Washington's 17-16 victory. Eli remained upbeat despite the loss.
Griffin's 235 total yards and a score helped move the Redskins to within one game of the lead in the NFC East. However, the rookie knows there's still a lot of work to be done.

text: Kenya Airways Operating Performance; 3RD Qtr – Oct To Dec 2010 Kenya Airways releases its operating results for the third quarter ended 31st Dec 2010. The company put into the market place capacity totalling 3,343m seat kilometres which was 5.2% better than last year's level as a result of two new destinations launched in the third quarter to Rome and Malindi. Capacity offered into Europe registered a 2.5% growth compared to the same quarter of prior year. The Middle East, Far East and Asia regions grew by 2.6% compared to last year largely due to the introduction of Muscat flights via Dubai. The minimal growth was due to the operation of the smaller B767 instead of the larger B777. The Northern Africa region grew by 16.9% in capacity owing to the introduction of flights into Juba in Southern Sudan on the Embraer aircraft and Djibouti. Capacity availed into the East African region reduced by 7.4% compared to same period last year. This was a result of reduced frequencies in the major routes mainly Bujumbura, Kigali direct and Zanzibar as a result of better synchronization of KQ schedules with that of Precision Air. There was however, increased connections and frequency on both Kigali via Bujumbura and Antananarivo routes. The highest seat kilometre increase into the network was registered in the Domestic Front which at 29.1% growth was due to 10 additional frequencies into Mombasa branded Mombasa Shuttle during the festivities and an average of four daily frequencies into Kisumu. Capacity offered in the Central Africa region remained at par with the same period last year despite the successful launches of Malabo and Bangui via Douala and Kisangani connecting through Entebbe. The capacity into West Africa grew by 15.7% mainly in Lagos and Bamako Dakar route that were served by B737-800. Uptake of total production at 2,333m revenue passenger kilometres represents a 8.9% growth compared to last year while the total passenger tally, which closed on 829,263 increased by 7.3%. The resulting average cabin factor improved from last year's level of 67.8% to 69.8%. Cargo tonnage at 15,195 was at par with prior year's level of 15,246 due to capacity constraints as a result of narrow body operations on most intra-african routes and competition with passenger and passenger baggage on core feed/de-feed routes. Passenger uplift to Europe at 102,493 indicates a 5.4% year on year growth backed by a 2.5% capacity growth resulting to 73.5% occupancy level which is 1.7 points higher than prior year. In the Middle East, Far East and Asia regions passenger traffic increased marginally by 1.8% against a capacity growth of 2.6%. The realised cabin factor of 76.8% was 5.6 points better than prior year. Within Africa but excluding Kenya, total enplanements totalled 439,555 indicating growth of 4.2% compared to a 7.2% capacity growth, thus the resultant passenger cabin factor of 63.0% was ahead of prior year's level of 61.6%. Passengers uplifted within Kenya at 163,201 showed a marked improvement compared to prior year's level of 133,301. The resulting cabin factor of 70.3% was however, lower than 75.9% achieved last year.

Barnstormer sets off to grow general aviationFriday, May 31st, 2013
Sarah Wilson will join with the B-29 bomber Fifi this summer on a national tour. Her goal is to use the original Stearman Speedmail that promoted a wildly successful radio show in the 1930s, "The Flying Adventures of Jimmie Allen," to interest another generation of youth in aviation. The show, sponsored by an oil company, started a youth club called the Jimmie Allen Flying Club and attracted a million kids. Here's a schedule of where she will appear. Chalres Lindbergh flew the 1929 Stearman on April 2, 1930 (scroll halfway down this Facebook page).

You are correct in the general price range assesment you mention . I have a couple of Japanese works from Ningen Kokuho..... and think ofthem as the "retirement fund" .
I have purchased scrolls (I have a small collection) mainly in Japan but also on EBay. As was stated already by Victoria, if you are using EBay...... look at the feedback of the seller very carefully AND read the descriptions even more carefully. Sometimes a little "tiny" lack of information in that description can make the difference between a "good deal" and a "ripoff".
"Authenticity" is always a potential issue when you are not fluent in the language and the stylistic conventions of the genre' or the period. And when you can't examine the piece yourself in person.
Watch out for particularly beautiful looking pieces that are pretty darn cheap........ they often can be screen printed. If the EBay listing does not then also specifically say "hand painted on silk" or something like that....... it probably is a cheap reproduction item.
If you are buying strictly for the "general aesthetic"...... then you have a bit more latitude in your considerations. If you like the scroll in question and feel OK about the price you pay...... then it will make you happy. Nuf said.
I have bought "real gems" in Japan for as little as 500Y (About $5.60 US) at temple fairs and in out of the mainstream little antique shops out in the boonies of Japan. (It helps that I can "chat" a bit with the seller.) But most are more expensive than that. You likely can find some generally nice ones on Ebay for somewhere between $50.00 and $100.00.

Barns are usually classified not only their materials and their specific framing conventions which are known to a particual style of construction. The combination used often helps classify these barns by country of origin or a style that has evolved from dominant eurpoean barn tradtions which made their way to the new world.
Tradtional barn design have adapted themselves for modern day living including the pole or dtuch barn. Pole barns are often

Pole barns in the USA or ( dutch barns in Europe) typically have a roof extended overpoles. The roof is supported by the poles, which make up the perimeter of the barn. Internal walls can be added but are not required for structural integrity. Pole barns are often used for feed or livestock storage.
This type of barn is very common in modern agriculture, but is also used for other large spaces which require lowcost and eay contruction to provide shelter including , garages, truck storage, horse riding arenas, in door arenas , ice rinks . Pole Barn homes usually offer quick construction time and efficient use of materials.

/ Emerging conservation effort for ag land conserves, cleans water
Loading Tree...
Sarah Maxwell
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26, 2013 – An up-and-coming conservation practice offered by the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service can help producers manage water on their farm, keep water clean and better cope with extreme weather like drought.
This conservation practice, called drainage water management, enables landowners to determine when and how much water leaves farms through underground tiles and drainage ditches.
"Since landowners don't need the same drainage intensity at all times during the year, this practice lets them use their drainage water in a way that's most advantageous to them, their crops and the environment," NRCS Senior Project Leader Paul Sweeney said.
Farmers can incorporate this practice, which involves installing a water level control structure on tile lines or even in open drainage ditches, on new or existing tile systems. Farmers, like Dennis Braeuninger who have successfully used drainage water management, can attest to the benefits.
The water level control structure gives landowners the ability to manage the subsurface water level by turning on and off their drainage systems. By doing this, landowners can improve water quality by minimizing unnecessary tile drainage and reducing the amount of nitrates or phosphates that leave farm fields.
Drainage water management systems can also be used to retain water that crops can use for growth and production later in the season, especially beneficial during a drought.
Potential yield increases, improved soil health and vegetative growth, and creation of wildlife habitat can also be achieved with this practice.
Drainage water management is best suited for flat, uniform cropland with a slope of 1 percent or less, but it may be considered for fields with slopes up to 2 percent, depending on how the drainage system is laid out.
"I know that eliminates a lot of operators with steep or sloped ground, but it makes perfect sense to thousands of producers who have flat ground," said Paul Sweeney, who has helped lead the effort to increase the use of this practice. "Those are the producers we'd like to work with on drainage water management."
For those with steeper ground, NRCS can offer other beneficial practices such as denitrifying bioreactors, saturated buffers or constructed wetlands.
NRCS offers technical and financial assistance for this practice, which begins with a conservation plan that includes drainage water management. Visit your local NRCS office or website for more information.

Oil and Gas Plays to Energize Your Portfolio
Don't get me wrong, I'm aware of the fact that we've had an incredible move higher since the lows in 2009. One of my family members sent me this quote from a publication she subscribes to: "As a reminder, bull markets have averaged about 39 months in length. As of January 2013, this particular bull is 47 months old, which puts it overdue for a correction."
Here's another reason why a number of financial analysts are somewhat leery. After four straight years of stock market gains, those bold enough to predict where major market indices will be by the end of 2013 are almost unanimously bullish.
This bullishness was illustrated in the Dec. 17, 2012, edition of Barron's. Its panel of experts forecast a 10% rise in stocks for 2013 and not a single one was bearish. Maybe that's because we're in an age where the Federal Reserve and many global central banks are goosing the economy more than ever!
If only we could have a nice 5% to 10% correction! I've given plenty of hints and price suggestions about stocks I'd like to own or positions I'd add to during this latest version of "The Wealth Effect" that generous monetary policies create.
Some investors and traders are a bit late to the party. They want to find sectors where growth-and-income stocks are still available and not overpriced. Here are a couple of examples from the energy patch worthy of consideration.
With West Texas Crude still above $97 a barrel and natural gas demand alive and well, take a look at Linn Energy (LINE) . It was founded in 2003 and hails from the energy capital of America, Houston.
LINE is an independent oil and natural gas company that engages in the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. The company's properties are primarily located in the Mid-Continent, the Permian Basin, Michigan, California, and the Williston Basin in the United States. "Eureka", "black gold" and "Texas tea" are terms that come to mind when I think of these energy zones.
As the company's Web site states, "Linn Energy's mission is to acquire, develop and maximize cash flow from a growing portfolio of long-life oil and natural gas assets."That's why it can offer shareholders a current dividend yield that is a likeable 7.77% (especially nice if 7 is your lucky number).
As of Dec. 31, 2011, it had proved reserves of 3,370 billion cubic feet equivalent of oil and gas, and natural gas liquids, as well as operated 7,759 gross productive wells. It's no secret that investment educator and CNBC entertainer extraordinaire Jim Cramer has liked LINE for a long time.

We celebrated a holiday over the weekend so I decided to make some krachel. I ended up with leftovers because my appetite isn't as big as it was when I was pregnant. So with 4 krachel remaining I decided that bread pudding was a brilliant idea. Unfortunately, I know very little about bread pudding so this was all new to me. Even though I'm a bread pudding newbie, I have to say this was delicious. The anise seeds really added something special in the background without over powering the dessert. I also like the amount of custard. Some people prefer very dry bread pudding but I prefer more custard. If you want yours to lean to the dry side then go ahead and add another krachel.

(Note: When I made my krachel, I used 2 teaspoons of anise seeds)
Krachel Bread Pudding
Serving Size = 1 8-inch square pan (I cut it into 9 small pieces)
Original Recipe
- 4 krachel, cubed, bite size
- 1 apple, peeled and cubed, bite size (optional)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups of milk
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place the cubed krachel into an 8-inch square baking dish and top with the apple. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top.
- In a mixer, mix the eggs and then add the sugar. Mix in the cinnamon, vanilla and milk until combined.
- Pour the milk mixture over the bread mixture and then push down gently with a fork to make sure the bread is covered and soaking up the milk.
- Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out fairly clean (I added about 15 extra minutes, but watch yours closely). Place on a wire rack and let cool at least 30 minutes and serve.

Going, Going, GOLD
Posted Apr 28, 2011 in Management
Rising steadily since 2001, the price of gold has soared to record highs this year, driven by the weak U.S. dollar and ongoing economic uncertainty. Two months ago, it reached a true milestone, hitting $1,000 an ounce on March 13.
Although the price fell back under the $1,000 mark--it was $898.50 at press time--there's no expectation we'll see any significant relief soon. That reality has many laboratory owners implementing strategies to protect their profitability. In fact, 45% of the 302 respondents to a recent LMT e-survey say they've changed their fee structures in order to compensate for the rising gold prices. Of those who haven't changed their fees, the vast majority were already charging separately for metal so they've been covered during the price spikes.
It's the laboratory owners who charge a flat fee (including alloy) that have found themselves in a quandary, and 40% of them have simply raised that flat fee for gold restorations. Another 60% have done away with a flat fee altogether, either adding an alloy surcharge until the market stabilizes or switching permanently to a labor-plus-metal fee structure, basing the alloy portion on the market price or what they paid for their last gold shipment.
Some respondents also report that the gold situation has made them revisit their markup practices. "Alloy has always been a profit center for us and our usual markup is 40%. But while gold is above $600 an ounce, we may temporarily cut that in half so we don't price ourselves out of the market," says John Collins, owner, BioComp Dental Laboratory, Ivyland, Pennsylvania.
Other changes owners are taking to protect profitability are unrelated to fee structures; for example, some laboratories are switching to alloys with a lower gold content. "We decided to start using a 40% high noble gold alloy instead of one with a 59% gold content," says George McCoy, CDT, Lab One, Norfolk, Virginia. "Due to the lower specific gravity of the new alloy, we're able to get more castings to the ounce and, as a result, maintain our gold costs to our doctors. It's a win-win situation."
Laboratory owner Rodney Grizzard took another approach and sent his clients a letter reminding them of cost-cutting measures they can take on their end. "We let them know that less reduction of preps, particularly in the posterior, or building up the preps that have decay with composite material will result in less gold usage," says Grizzard, Crown Works Dental Laboratory, Oakland, Oregon.
Some laboratory owners say their clients have not voiced concerns about the increased fees nor are they shying away from high gold alloys. "I never would have thought we would be selling $250 crowns, and this price has not cut into our gold crown production," says Jay Stewart, Stewart Dental Lab, Columbia, Missouri. "I don't know what the tipping point will be but $1,000 an ounce has not changed our doctors' minds."
Others say customers are looking for alternatives. Although some--29% of respondents--are recommending noble or base alloys, 60% are encouraging customers to look to metal-free restorations. They point out that, given the current gold prices, fees for high noble restorations have risen enough to be comparable to those of metal-free units. "All ceramic is now a cost-effective option; it used to be the reverse and all ceramic was seen as much more expensive than high noble," says Bob Vartanian, vice president of sales & marketing, Trident Dental Laboratories, Hawthorne, California.
The vast majority of our respondents agree, saying that the high cost of gold will continue to drive the metal-free market and persuade even more doctors to try zirconia. "Because of the gold prices, many of our clients are trying--and loving--our zirconia crowns. Because of the fit and esthetics, they say they will not go back to PFMs unless a case requires it," says David Nunnally, Derby Dental Lab, Louisville, Kentucky.
Nobody believes that dentists will stop prescribing high noble alloys altogether, but in this volatile market, laboratory owners agree that it's critical to ensure your clients are educated about all of the restorative choices you offer. "The market is what it is," says Albert Tassi, CDT, Tassi Dental Lab, Elmhurst, Illinois. "What we have to do is offer our customers alternatives; otherwise, they'll find their own alternative and it may not include us."
