Just checking in and letting everyone know what's going on with me...
I've been sick off and on and just haven't felt like dealing with sewing, plus I'm trying to finish up a Sun Bonnett Sue Quilt for my mom and a few other swaps, I had to go to the hospital the other night and I have Bronchitis, but feeling a little better today! I hope to finish up my moms quilt and a few other swaps and then I will start cutting the rest of my F8 and get them in the mail. I will get your blocks to you before the deadline I promise and I hope to have the rest of my F8's mailed by the end of the month...I have some of your F8's done and will be mailing them on the 15th, I'm working on them when I feel like sewing, my back is giving me a lot of pain and now I have Bronchits. Been to the hospital twice this month and to the Dr. Office twice, this month has been bad for me with the change of the weather going up and down. The weather is why I'm having issues with my back, they give me pain medicine and the darn stuff makes me sleep a lot. So I'm praying for good weather or at least stay the same...LOL

lv2sew2011...Sorry you have not been feeling well lately. This summer was bad on me healthwise, so I know how you must be feeling. Take care of yourself and heal completely before you do too much! Prayers sent your way!
Well, I wasn't able to work on my moms quilt today, some how it shifted and now I have to remove about 12 quilted rows and I just didn't feel like messing with Mr. Seam ripper today..., so I was able to finish up some blocks to send back home and finish cutting all my F8's now just got to mail them. But I don't want to get out into the weather it's like 30+ right now, until I get over my Bronchitis. Plus I don't want to give the crap to any one else....
And thanks everyone for the well wishes.

Im sorry Im not getting them out faster but my health has been the pits, Ive dropped out of a couple of swaps so I could just work on this one until I get to feeling better. Few weeks ago I slipped and fell and hurt my lower back again, then I got bronchitis and now I have a tooth thats giving me hell, excuse my French! And back in June and July I spent over $2000.00 dollars at the dentist and I still have a damn tooth ache, so when I take the pain medication it puts me to sleep and I can sleep the day away! Im very sensitive to pain medication.
So please be patient with me I will get your blocks to you before the dead line Im getting about 4 or 5 done a day now that I got all other things out of the way except my moms quilt and I have to remove about 12 to 15 quilted rows. (YUCK) LOL And I still havent removed a full row yet LOL I called my mom and told her I was mad at her quilt, and she said why and I told her some how it twisted and now the rows arent straight. So I told her I putting it away for a while so I dont get mad and tear it up LOL
Other than that Im still ticking just not very fast LOL
(¸.´(¸. (¸.´¸¸.¨¯`.¸¸.♥¨¯`.¸¸.♥ Donna♥¨¯`.¸¸.♥
I sorry to hear all that you've gone and going through. I hope things get better for you soon!!! I didn't mean anything by what I said, I was just checking to make sure my records were right. I mess up sometimes!!! I figured if I was missing anything or what ever people would let me know. Sorry you've had such a hard time lately, but I'll keep my fingers crossed things get better soon!!! Oma7
Oh Oma7, I'm not offended at all just letting folks know I haven't deserted you! LOL I still have about 23 or 24 F8's to send out, I did send out a few yesterday but I can't remember who I sent them to, I also sent blocks home yesterday, If you have plans for the Holiday and not able to get to my F8 that's ok, I'm sure you will send it when your done. So please don't think I'm mad because I'm not! I know some people just dropped off the face of earth and with your fabric, just want you to know that's not the case here! So everyone have a great afternoon I'm going to get in the sewing room and make some more blocks. Have a blessed day!

PORT ST LUCIE, FLORIDA -- Don't buy Home Depot water heater extended contract. If we hadn't had this worthless contract we would have fixed the water heater ourselves by now. Instead we spent all day Friday trying to get an appointment with their service company and now today (Monday) have gotten a call that they can't come out today but will be here tomorrow morning. Also not sure what the contract really covers since we were never provided a description of it. So if you want to wait on your hot water be sure to pay the extra money for the contract.
MCKINNEY, TEXAS -- I went to the Home Depot store in McKinney, TX on Custer Road - great store, got some info on same day water heaters. I needed one so I called and placed my order, got an approximate total and a scheduled time. Things are great up until now, I thought these guys are great!!! Wrong!!!
When the subcontractor Mr. ** from same day water heaters shows up at my house, quotes me a totally different price, twice what I was given. Then asked me to remove some things that were blocking the water heater access or he would charge me an additional 350 dollars to remove them, to which I said "No problem. Just give me a few minutes and I'll do it myself". I stated "It is not that difficult". Then Mr. ** gets in his truck and leaves without saying a word. I called back to see where he was and he was MIA - got his feelings hurt because I would not pay him the extra 350 he wanted to make.
Horrible, unprofessional company - god awful attitude from this guy since he got there. Clearly, he was in a bad mood or something. I don't mind paying for things but when your attitude overtakes and you behave the way this Mr. ** did, I lose all respect for a company like Home Depot as they represent them and they should not have these vendor providing these services act this way. I will never use another service from Home Depot where a subcontractor is used, and I will avoid shopping there as well. LOWE'S is a better option. Goodbye Home Depot. This may not mean much but you just lost a good customer
ROUND ROCK, TEXAS -- I bought a water heater and the installation services at HD on Wednesday night. They told me that someone was going to install it the next day. Home Depot also told me to measure my existing unit and to call them if my current water heater height or width was more than 4" larger or shorter. I got home, I measured my unit and notice that the new unit to be installed was the same width (20") but it was taller, 58" vs. 50" of the current water heater. I called Home Depot and told them that the new unit was 8" taller than the existing one. The person from Home Depot told me that she was calling the installers to let them know and not to worry about anything.
Later that day, somebody from a plumbing company called and said that they were coming around 3 PM. At around 4 PM, someone from the plumbing company came, he asked where the existing water heater was. I told him that it was located in the attic and showed him how to get to it. He got into the attic, took some measurements and then came down to tell me that the unit he had in his truck was taller and that this was not going to work, then I told him, "Didn't someone from Home Depot told you guys that I called to tell them that the new unit was 8" taller?" to what he responded "Nope, they didn't."
So I called Home Depot and told them about the problem, the lady in the phone told me that it was fine, that they were going to exchange the water heater but there was going to be an extra $75 charge for the extra trip... Oh boy, that made very upset. I told the Home Depot girl from Home Services that there was no way I was paying $75 more for an extra trip when I followed what they told me about calling them if the size of my water heater was different.
I asked to talk to a manager and to my surprise, the manager was very understanding and he told me not to worry about anything, he was going to void the $75 for the extra trip. I was happy. The installer told me then that he was coming the next day with the new smaller water heater to install it. Next day came and the installers called me to tell me that Home Depot never sent the new order and that they still had the same water heater, the tall one. I called Home Depot and they apologized for the inconvenience, they offered to call the installers again and explain everything so they could get the new shorter water heater.
Again, I sat and waited....and waited...and waited. Then I got a call from the installers saying that everything was ready and that they were coming between 2 and 4 that evening. It was 5 PM and no one had showed up yet... I called the installers and they told me that the technician that was coming to my house had an accident at a different home while installing another water heater but they also said that they were sending another person at 8 PM that night.
I was really pissed, I told them that I was calling Home Depot to straighten this up. So I called Home Depot, told them about what happen and they said that they knew how I felt and they apologized. They also said they were calling the installers to make sure they were going to be at my house at 8 PM to install the water heater. At around 7:30 PM I got a call from the installers telling me that they were really sorry but they couldn't install my water heater until the next day, Friday...
That was it, I got really upset, I told them that this was unacceptable. I explained how I had to stay home that day and the day before to wait for the installer to come home and install the water heater. I explained that I had three small children which were showering with cold water since Wednesday... Man I was really upset. The only thing the guy from the plumbing company said was "I am sorry there is nothing we can do, you'll have to wait until tomorrow." OK so I said, "What time tomorrow?" and he responded "Some time between 9 and 5 PM..." WHAT!
I said, "Never mind, forget about the water heater installation, you are not a professional, you should not be in business, this is unacceptable." I called Home Depot and told them about this mess. The person from Home Depot said he was calling the installers that same moment to find out what was going on. About 15 minutes later I got a call from the guy at Home Depot and he told me that the reason the installers didn't go to my house to install the water heater was because the installer that came to my house the previous day have noticed that I had a problem with venting in the current water heater.
Supposedly he had noticed that there was carbon monoxide coming into the house... WHAT!! That was it. This time I couldn't contain myself, I told them that was BS and that they were obviously lying. I asked the Home Depot to cancel everything and I hanged up. The next day I went to Home Depot, I asked to talk to the manager, and he was not there, then I asked for the name and phone number of the district manager and everyone I asked told me that they could not release that information to me...
They were rude and they told me to come back some other day to speak to the store manager. That happen last Saturday, today is Sunday and I finally got my water heater. I bought the water heater, and my brother-in-law offered to install it. I helped him and you know what, there was no science to it, it was very simple and now I have hot water again. Home Depot should do something about controlling the professionalism and customer service offered by the subcontractors they use in Home Services. I am never using Home Depot or any other big store's installation services for that matter. STAY AWAY!!
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- I noticed for some time a puddle of water repeatedly forming on my basement tile floor...... After six months of this, I examined the floor with a strong flashlight and noticed that the bottom of the G.E. hot water heater was rusty and leaking..... Since the unit was still under warranty, I called the Home Depot store from which it was originally purchased.... After calling G.E. for suggestions, which were: the heater is still under warranty and we will replace it free of charge. I was satisfied with this and made arrangements to have the unit replaced....
I was told that I would have to uninstall the heater and take it to Home Depot for the swap; when upon, I explained that I was in my mid sixties and had a small Mercedes convertible and asked if other arrangements could be made.... After several waits, lost calls and transfers, an arrangement was made that I would pay over $500 and Home Depot would arrange to have someone come to my home and take out the old heater and replace it with an identical unit. I was somewhat annoyed that the "replacement" with installation.....after all, the unit was defective and leaking, after all!......was going to cost more than the original heater, with delivery and installation!
I agreed to the proposal, with some reservations. So, today, the chosen contractor sent by Home Depot, by the way, came by, immediately told me that I had to write Home Depot a check for $663(!) which I did..... He verified the funds and proceeded to removed the old heater....... Then he told me that I needed to go to the Home Depot store and return the old heater and pick up the new one! I explained that that had already been worked out.... That was why I was paying this exorbitant charge, wasn't it? He said "No"......that I had to do all of this.
I was furious and felt totally ripped off, and called the Home Depot Store on Ponce De Leon Ave., Atlanta, waited while the operator finished a personal conversation with another operator, then eventually put me through to the store manager or assistant manager. Again, I had to explain what was going on..... The manager spoke to the installation person and told him that he was to take the old unit back to the store and return with the "warranty" replacement and install it......
I am currently waiting for him to return and do this so that I can clean up the muddy footprints and the mess that was made during this ordeal......AND.....the cost of all this, my time and worry.....all for a unit that was failing before its "time" ......within the warranty period....... That's why I am now determined to go to any and every message board and complaint blog and express my disapproval of how this was handled. Customer service at Home Depot has really gone down the tubes in the many years since I first began to frequent the old Sidney Marcus Blvd. location where I was always treated fairly and politely. That is no longer the case, is it?
So.... I suppose Home Depot considers it fair for me to pony up over $800 to replace a $220 hot water heater..... I feel totally ripped off and intend to express my grievances on any and all message boards and complaint sites that I can possibly locate on the internet and to write personal letters to both Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, for what that's worth.....probably very little! So, I am having dinner guests this evening and NO WATER!
Addendum: it's 5.40 P.M and the installer has returned with the new unit to install it. The store manager has agreed to not charge any additional expenses (over the $660 already charged to me and paid by me) for the replacement. I'm still annoyed and a bit disgusted by all this inconvenience and waste of my time and energy.
KIRKLAND, WA -- So I was quoted $679 for the installation on my hot water heater, which seemed high, but the company was offering a 12-month no interest if charged on their credit card deal, and since finances are kind of tight right now, it seemed worth it. My house is a 1935 home, and is admittedly not up to code on a lot of stuff. It still has galvanized pipes and most of the repair and installation work prior to me, looks to be DIY. I would have installed this myself as well, but I am terrified of wiring, and since the water heater had to be wired in, I decided to avoid an electrical shock or fire and have it done professionally.
So the quote was $679. When they left, they ended up charging me $1379. I thought WOW! My house must have really sucked, until I started looking at what I got charged for and how much. The drip pan they "installed" cost me $59. When I looked it up on the internet, it costs $22 max to purchase, and the installation on that is... sit the heater in the pan.
Everything on the list and the charges they added were 3x cost of the item. I was charged $80 separately for earthquake straps on my heater - every plumber I have talked to afterwards tells me that is something that should have been included with the installation and original quote. Wonder why I contacted plumbers afterwards? Well I went to take a nice hot shower to wash the stress of paying twice what I thought I was going to pay for the heater, and found out the hot water is not going to my bath tub, which is located 5 feet away from my hot water heater.
I called the installation company to ask them to come and fix the issue, and they said since I signed the job complete and in the completion signature there is a block saying that if I have galvanized pipes they are not responsible for their installation to work, I am out of luck and to call a plumber to fix their installation and flush my pipes. So what I learned was this: Home Depot's subcontractors just suck. Their no-interest deal sounds awesome, until you are paying double. Also I learned, don't sign papers until YOU test the item, not just take the word of the installation guy. The subcontractor for this was: Fast Water Heater Company (Kirkland, WA).
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA -- I had the hot water heater (I would write the name and make of heater but the TOS agreement seems to suggest otherwise) installed on 9/15/2008 and noticed in August of 2012 that it was leaking. Since it is in the basement, I can't be sure when it started. I had a professional plumbing service come and eventually it was concluded that the seam was leaking which means the hot water heater had to be replaced. I called Home Depot because there was a 6-year warranty. Who I spoke with was pleasant but what I was left with in terms of their warranty was not.
What happened in this situation as in others I assume is that they depreciated the hot water heater and I was responsible financially for the delivery and installation. When added up, I might as well pay for a new hot water heater and be able to get one of a different name brand since I did not want the same. I am up in years and have never heard of a hot water heater lasting less than 4 years. Yes, they are still selling these heaters. I tried to post this on Home Depot's consumer reviews and they blocked it so one might want to calculate when reading these reviews just how many are not there.
SAN CARLOS, CALIFORNIA -- I called Home Depot, who outsources to Fast Water Heater Company. What an experience! The best part if you call Fast Water Heater company directly, the prices are CHEAPER than Home Depot. No surprise, as Home Depot needs their cut. Regardless, they identify all the code requirements and charge you extra fees for code compliance. This was clearly stated when scheduled, but the upsell charges are RIDICULOUS! Here where they are scamming customers: $89 to install one bare copper wire. Seriously? This costs less than $20 in materials and 5-10 minutes of labor.
Another example, $119 to install 3 straps. Again, maybe $40 in parts and at best 20 minutes to install. Third example to prove the over-the-top pricing, $39 for a gas sediment trap with is less than $8 in parts from Home Depot and less than 10 minutes to install. Fourth example, requiring Expansion Tank at $179 when the part retails for $52.50 and you get online for $29.95. Are these the type of people who deserve your business? Don't get taken by these guys!
My water heater stopped working just before the July 4th weekend. I called Home Depot, who had a good price on a small water heater. I liked shopping at their stores, so I wrongfully assumed that their customer service would be just as good for installation. They gave me the price for the water heater, delivery fee and installation. It was a great price. They said the installer would be in contact with me and that I would pay for it once the installation was complete. The installer called me and said they could not come out until July 5th, due to the holiday. An old guy showed up and walked around my basement.
He called his boss and told me that he would have to install an electric line for the new heater and the price was $125 more. I agreed. He was to return the next day. He never showed or called. I called Home Depot corporate customer support. I spoke to ** who said there was nothing Home Depot could do. It was up to me to call the installer. I asked if Home Depot did not care and if that was the case, what was the point of using Home Depot? He apologized, but said there was nothing more he could do. So, do not use Home Depot for installations. They don't care what the installers do or don't do so there is no reason to use this service.
I agreed to purchase a 50 gal. 9-year warranty GE hot water heater from Home Depot (HD). The price plus installation came to $879. I also checked with a couple of plumbers and their quoted charges for a similar product and installation was $900 to $1,000. So, I thought I would go with Home Depot and save a few dollars. (Plus, I had used Home Depot to install the hot water heater it was replacing 10 years previous and the price HD quoted and I paid was the same - $433. Wow BIG inflation.)
One of the plumbers warned me that they would quote me $879 and before they left, they would charge me over $1,300. Sure enough, O'Shan Plumbing came out with the heater and reviewed where I was having it installed (in a garage in a raised open faced closet). Within 5 minutes he had come up with different things that was needed and code violations that pushed the price to over (you guessed it) $1,300.
After I punched the wall and told him that a plumber warned me that this would happen, he packed up his truck so fast and got out of my driveway. I called O'Shan Plumbing and dared them to try to collect their cancellation fee. I was going to every newspaper and TV investigative reporter in the Dallas, TX area. I ate crow and called the plumber that warned me and he installed a better grade heater for $950.
HIXSON, TENNESSEE -- I had installers hired by Home Depot install my gas new hot water heater. A pipe connecting the water heater and my furnace fell off and I stopped using my furnace. I hired a friend who has owned a very reputable heat and air service for decades to correct the problem. It turns out that the installers never attached the pipe with screws but only with silver tape. That was it.
In the meantime, carbon monoxide was spewing into my garage every time my family used hot water. This horrible "installation" job could have killed my family if left undetected. Do not have Home Depot be in charge of installing your appliance if you value your life. You can't trust who they send out. They are not Home Depot employees and cannot be trusted.

Its getting to the point where good players will have to be set free
Its getting to the point where good players will have to be set free
I thought Canty was on 6 week PUP and Beckum was on season IR. idk i get confused with the two.
Might as well just put Beckum on IR or waive him, now that Pascoe has actually learned to block he has become a decent player.
Im assuming someone will get injured this week, and go on temporary IR which makes room for Canty.
Beckum says hes ready to go........game ready
Canty said he was ready 6 weeks ago and shocked he went on IR
I dont think Beckum brings anything to the table that we dont already have. Barden and Randle are better receivers. Bennett and Pascoe are better all around TE's. And im sure Adrien Robinson could do exactly what Beckum did in this offense for 3 years.
Need to make a roster move to get Sash back, instead Hill gets suspended.
Either someone gets a serious injury and goes on IR, someone gets a partially serious injury and goes to returnable IR.
If not, then just waive Petrus again.
Travis Beckum has very good hands

text: Last year I had 5 medium, with 8 frame boxes. My girls overwintered with alot of honey left over. Which is good. This year both hives have 4. Keeping my fingers crossed. I also use a bee cozy, with foam board on top. I have top and bottom entrances as well.


text:
I plan to start with 2 hives. Today I reserved 2 nucs from a seller about 3 hours away. They will be available around April 22 depending on the weather. I paid $150 each.
I have been researching what hives to get and I think I have decided on getting
2 10-Frame Complete Hives not assembled
20 black 8-3/8 plastic foundation (ea)
2 Deep Plastic Division Bd Feeder
2 Frame select assembled Medium DT Super
20 Assembled 6 1/4 white super frame (ea)
2 10-Frame Plastic Queen Excluder
2 10-Frame Entrance Reducer
Smoke Stack Smoker
Hive Pry Tool
Am I on the right track with the parts I have picked out?

It marches to its own beat. Lovely quilt.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
It marches to its own beat. Lovely quilt.
I couldn't find it until someone else pointed it out - unless it bothers you - I would leave it. Most people would never notice!
Aronel aka Lee
hands off!! you did that on purpose to see if anyone was paying attention. it's a great quilt. don't fret the smalls stuff.
I had to look hard to find it. Great quilt.
I had to look three times to finally find it, and that is only after I read where it was. I am glad you have decided not to change it. It is a beautiful quilt, and that block does not look wrong, even when I know it is.
Beautiful quilt!
Maybe you could make your quilt "Standing out in a Crowd". See how many people figure that one out. I like it!!!!!

Well, how are you going to stop the others from turning if you don't have it there to stop it. Please leave it there.
I looked and looked for the oops and I still didn't see it until someone named it. Like someone else said it still doesn't stand out. I'm glad you are leaving it. I love pinwheels and this quilt is FABULOUS!!!
Are the fabrics all the same print but in different colors?

I really had to search to find it, I would leave it. Beautiful quilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"humility block" is awesome. I'm going to use that! I say leave it. It gives the quilt even more personality. Nice job!

Now, here's the plug. When I was here last year I showed this newspaper thing and someone said, "Wait a minute. I just heard not too long ago that google was cancelling their newspaper thing."This -- this! -- is what's really important:
Google thought this was a great idea to scan newspapers. They invested all this money. They acquired all these newspapers, they scanned them to OCR, they made them available. But unfortunately no one was using it. And google's a very data driven company and they said, "No one's using this feature so we're not going to have it anymore." They said, "We're not gonna take away the stuff we already have. The newspapers we already have scanned we'll keep them up forever. They'll always be available. But we're not gonna spend money scanning new newspapers because no one's using it."
Well, that's our problem. If we use this, if you start using this feature, people will start saying, "Oh, wow, people are using our newspapers. They are searching on 'em and finding information in them." Then maybe internally and externally we can convince google to resume this and start acquiring more newspapers. So it already has tremendous value with the content they've already acquired but just a plug to everyone out there to uh, you know, use this feature. See what you can find on it and perhaps with the increased usage we can convince google to resume that effort."
"Perhaps with the increased usage we can convince google to resume this effort [of scanning newspapers and making them available]."
Do you use google newspapers? Oh, please, do! I hope you'll start using them if you don't already. If you already use them I hope you'll use them more often. Go to news.google.com/newspapers to find a list of newspaper you can browse and/or search. I use the newspapers at least once a week, sometimes for hours at a time, and sometimes more than once a week. I hope you'll start using them more, too. I don't think we can ever have too many newspapers online, especially when they're free.

Salazar: U.S. trying to streamline approvals for East Coast offshore wind
Speaking at the Offshore Wind Power USA Boston conference, outgoing Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar highlights the need to streamline regulations to speed offshore wind development along the U.S. East Coast.
Scott Stephenson
Offshore Wind Power USA Boston is being held this week (Feb. 26-27) in, you guessed it, Boston, Mass. The location is not a coincidence. The east coast of the U.S. offers an excellent wind resource, but it was only recently that the first offshore wind farm, Cape Wind, was approved by the Obama Administration off the coast of Massachusetts. CW's Scott Stephenson was at the conference and offers this synopsis of the Feb. 26 keynote address, given by outgoing U.S. Secretary of the Interior (DoI) Ken Salazar.
Salazar noted that the U.S. has resources on the continental shelf in the Atlantic Ocean that could make powering the Northeast U.S. grid a reality. One of the problems, he said, was that 10 years ago projects like Cape Wind became bogged down in red tape because there was no regulatory system in place. A regulatory system is required, Salazar said, for the people and companies putting capital at risk to give some certainty about what the process entails for development of the outer continental shelf. DoI, he noted, controls 750 million acres of mineral rights onshore, but 1.7 million acres off shore — the entire outer continental shelf in U.S. territorial waters.
Now, contended Salazar, the U.S. has a regulatory system in place at the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) with more than 25 experts to provide certainty to developers as they evaluate new projects. In the process, BOEMRE has tried to be smart about conflicting interests along the continental shelf and have worked with states and other government entities to map out the best zones for offshore wind. Most of the best locations for offshore wind in the Atlantic are mapped out, so as developers look at sites, in many cases conflicts with government agencies have already been "deconflicted."
Interest along the Atlantic coast has been high, Salazar noted. BOEMRE has already issued two leases, one to Cape Wind and then one off the coast of Delaware. Lease sales will take place in 2013 for Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Virginia. There is also interest in North Carolina, Maine and Oregon.
Once offshore wind systems are constructed, the challenge of transmission remains. Salazar pointed to a new system to fast-track onshore transmission development, but no such system exists yet for offshore wind. Atlantic Wind Connection, developed by Atlantic Grid Development LLC (Chevy Chase, Md.), is pursuing offshore transmission development, which Salazar thinks has promise.
Finally, Salazar addressed the challenge of the wind energy production tax credit (PTC). He said that the U.S. Congress should provide greater financial security to the wind energy industry and avoid the fits and starts that have characterized the PTC over the last few years.

Impeach: Obama uses the "R-word" at event with '72 Dolphins
posted at 8:01 pm on August 20, 2013 by Allahpundit
Pure spun gold from NRO, catching The One unwittingly using a term that lefty media's bien-pensants have only recently determined to be "painfully racist." Now we wait to see if my prediction at that last link was right, that there'll be some half-hearted kvetching on liberal blogs about O's unfortunate yet understandable insensitivity that'll trickle up to the White House and make him think twice about using it again. Inevitably he's going to be interviewed about football season, probably as part of some dopey "president's picks!" feature before the first Monday night game of the year, and someone will ask him about the Redskins and RGIII. Will he say it again or will he have learned his lesson by then, opting for the vaguer, more tactful "Washington" instead? Up to you, lefty bloggers: Only vigorous whining now can officially change D.C. football etiquette later.
By the way, what's this guy doing hosting a team that won the Super Bowl 40 years ago? Is this how he's killing time during the congressional recess, bringing sports geezers back for one last random victory lap? Good lord. At least the dog's a cute diversion.

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:41 pm on February 13, 2013 by Allahpundit
Former Vice President Dick Cheney pronounced himself a "big fan" of Sen. Marco Rubio in a radio interview Wednesday, calling the Florida senator a "first-rate asset."
"Marco's great," Cheney said on Sean Hannity's radio show. "I'm a big fan of his."…
"He's a first-rate asset," the former vice president said. "We'll be hearing a lot from him down the road. And the one bright note, I think, from the last election is we do have a good crop of folks coming along who have enormous talent and I think are dedicated to the principles most Americans believe in."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Wednesday dismissed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's response to the State of the Union as a speech that "could have been delivered by Mitt Romney."…
Rubio's speech was "entirely consistent with the policy ideas that Mitt Romney campaigned on last year and that the American people did not support," Carney told reporters on Air Force One en route to an Obama stop in Asheville, N.C. to tout his State of the Union proposals.
"I still love Marco for the party but last night was not good for him … especially with him also currently being on the cover of Time as the Republican savior," said one operative who asked not to be identified. "Jindal had to take the risk on his response speech when he did because nobody knew him … everyone knows Marco so what's to gain with so much at risk?"…
Castellanos said the frame for viewing his performance is not against Jindal or the president, but against "the next round of Democrats" running in 2014 and 2016.
"I think when you start making that comparison, Marco did pretty damn good," he said.
Republicans are of two minds about "saviors." Many are wary of embracing one, but others derive their entire political identity from Ronald Reagan. A savior figure may be the only short-term way to regain the presidency, though. The Republican demographic crunch will force a successful presidential candidate to create a sustainable coalition of disparate groups, each attracted to the candidate by something different, and incentivized to work for the candidate by the dream he inspires…
The Republican savior has to thread the needle: There is room for Republicans to grow their vote in the Rust Belt. But they've been unable to do so in their current configuration. The party's message and messengers aren't working well enough. A galvanizing candidate, someone who can shake up the chess board, someone who can attach new policies to existing demographic groups and grow them, is what Republicans need. That's why superficial qualities like Marco Rubio's youth and, yes, his ethnicity, matter more.
But good politicians can tend more toward the ideological extreme and do just fine. Case in point is Obama, who had ranked as the most liberal senator, yet had built a public image as someone who want to facilitate compromise.
Even when Obama ran for president, it was hard for Republicans to label him an extremist because it was so at odds with his public image.
Rubio is walking very much the same line, voting very conservative but not coming across as an ideologue and taking care to find middle ground on a signature issue: immigration. And even while he's done that, he's somehow convinced some of the most conservative voices in the party to soften their hard-line stances on that issue — a tribute to his political skills.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: I'm going to get in trouble for saying this. I should just keep my mouth shut but I'm going to say it. Because you've just got to say the truth. You really do. Marco Rubio is, in effect, the Republican party's answer to Barack Obama. A guy that's great looking, a guy that's articulate, a guy that could put together a lot of different groups that could help you win the presidency. And a guy who's not ready to be President of the United States…
Barack Obama was a state senator. Marco Rubio was Speaker of the House of, like, the fourth largest state in America, okay? So if we want to compare state legislative careers, Marco had more experience. He's still not ready to be President of the United States. And Republicans that are pushing him out there are making a big mistake.
As recently as a few months ago, Paul Ryan — despite his nominal subordinate position to Mitt Romney on the Republican ticket — was the unassailable leader of the Republican Party. But Marco Rubio appears to have seized the mantle from Ryan. Or, at least, if Ryan is the party's mind, Rubio is its face, the Bush to Ryan's Cheney…
Republicans not only distrust immigration reform as public policy, they distrust Obama personally and can't stand the idea of cooperating with him. Rubio has managed to get conservatives to think of cooperating with Obama on immigration reform as a kind of triumph over Obama. Never mind that Obama has favored comprehensive reform all along, and Rubio opposed it until the last few weeks. The new partisan narrative presents Obama as a foe of immigration reform and Rubio as its long-standing champion. Thus, the passage of an immigration-reform bill would represent Rubio's partisan triumph over Obama…
It is as if Rubio were a local ward heeler, and Republicans were lining up to hand him over their proxy vote. They have the vague sense of certain policy principles at stake, but they define those principles almost entirely by what Rubio is willing to accept. They believe, almost by definition, that a bill Rubio supports is supportable, and the failure of a bill must be Obama's fault. So then finally, Rubio will be standing with his foot atop Obama's throat, having bested him by forcing him to sign a bill fulfilling one of his longtime legislative priorities. And then … 2016!
Republicans think putting up a spokesman like Rubio, who is Hispanic and in favor of comprehensive immigration reform, will help them make inroads with minorities. But all of the large minority groups — blacks, Hispanics and Asians — look much more favorably on government than whites do, seeing it as an entity that can and should help people get ahead rather than just getting out of the way…
The Republican Party's problem isn't the messenger; it's the broad economic message. To fix the message, Republicans need to be for smart government. They need to signal that they have a serious policy agenda that considers programs and regulations on a case-by-case basis, rather than just demagoguing the government. They need a real agenda on health care and jobs rather than just opportunistic opposition to anything the president does.
In other words, they need a message that befits a grown-up party that is ready to govern. Rubio, handsome and smooth though he is, did not offer that. And the Republican Party can only be saved by a messenger who does.

Although it was the first appearance at the big annual New Zealand Motocross Grand Prix at Woodville for visiting Australian Jesse Dobson, the Kawasaki ace proved he was a very fast learner.
The 15-year-old from Mooloolaba, on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, made his debut at Woodville a week ago a memorable one, winning three races from three starts as he dominated the 14 to 16 years' 250cc class, setting himself up for a solid summer of racing in New Zealand.
"I'm not permitted to race senior class in Australia until I'm 16, which means I have to wait until March, but by coming over to race at Woodville I could get to race the top juniors on the Saturday and then the seniors on Sunday," said Dobson, who also managed an impressive seventh overall in the international talent-packed 40-rider senior MX2 (250cc) class the following day.
He finished 10-8-8 in his three senior MX2 races at Woodville, a tough introduction to the senior ranks and perhaps a stern warning of what he can expect when he tackles the four-round New Zealand senior motocross championships which start near Timaru on Sunday.
After Timaru, the series continues at Patetonga (February 24), Pukekohe (March 10) and Taupo (March 31).
Visiting world MX2 No4 Jake Nicholls, Britain, won the MX2 class at Woodville but that was his sole appearance in New Zealand this summer and so he won't be staying to contest the Kiwi nationals. This might leave the way clear for Woodville runner-up Scotty Columb (JCR Yamaha Racing Team YZ250F), of Queenstown, or the third-placed man, Hamilton's national MX2 champion Darryll King (Fox DC Fuzion Yamaha YZ250) to contest the title.
There are 10 to 15 riders in contention for the national MX2 title this season, with national No3 Rhys Carter (Moto City Suzuki RM-Z250) and national No.4 Peter Broxholme (JT Racing Castrol Honda CRF250), of Tauranga, among the leading contenders. Dobson figures he may be able to step up and match these men in Timaru this weekend.
"This trip allows me to get in some really good practice for the longer and tougher races that I will have to deal with in the senior ranks in Australia," he said.
"I think I have the speed but it's nice to be able to give my strength and stamina a bit of a workout.
"If I had stayed at home, I would not have had any racing to do before the Australian nationals kick off so this trip has been great for me."
Although he dominated the junior ranks at Woodville, Dobson didn't have it all his own way, having first to battle past fast-starting Kiwi riders James Anderson (AFC KTM 250SXF), of Levin, and Hayden Kanters (MGM Kawasaki KX250F), of Otorohanga. But, once in front, Dobson seemed untouchable. "I was a little surprised with how easily I won in the end but then dad told me I need to be a lot quicker than this to beat the seniors in Australia.
"I have been training very hard ... cycling, running, doing gym work and skipping. I ride six days a week too.
"My aim is to be the next Ryan Villopoto (the Kawasaki rider who is No1 on the American supercross scene) or at least to be the next Chad Reed (Australian international motocross legend)."

We were planning to travel out of the country for a few weeks, maybe to Cambodia,Vietnam, Laos, or Australia, but then the H1N1 flu virus hit, and we were concerned that coming back to Singapore, we will be quarantined, and hence miss our flight back to Canada.
For me (Rajiv), being in Singapore for an extended period of time gave me a chance to get to know it better, by travelling on its transit system, and signing up for Iyengar Yoga classes, which I attended 3 times a week. I also started learning some Punjabi from Bobbie's father, who took me under his wing and got me started on story and exercise books, as well as some religious CDs, for an all-round cultural experience...hey its never too late to learn, I guess
We also fit in some trips to the Zoo...a good zoo as far as they are concerned, but came away feeling sad at all the animals going extinct due to human encroachment and habitat destruction.
Musically I indulged in my interest in the Ukelele by attending a concert put on by Canadian James Hill, and his Cello playing partner Anne Davidson. They happened to be passing through Singapore after touring Japan, and we were able to catch the show. The duo were brought here by a store called Ukelele Movement that is dedicated to raising Singaporean interest in the humble Ukelele. There were several fine Ukeleles on sale at the concert, but sadly I wasn't allowed to add to my collection of instruments.
Another neat event we got to attend was a viewing of the documentary film of the 1967 Monterey Pop festival. This was one of the first outdoor music festivals that showcased many of the top artists of the time, including The Mamas and the Papas, Simon and Garfunkel, Jimi Hendrix, and a great performance by Ravi Shankar, as he introduced the sound of the sitar to Western audiences. The sound and video quality of the film was excellent, and it was great to be able to watch it here
Singapore is known for its strict laws and lack of individual freedom for the sake of a stable and safe country, which I suppose is true, but as a visitor here you don't feel that. People here do work long hours and kids get stressed out at school, but the trade off seems to be a safe environment where anyone can go out at all hours and not feel threatened. Although, speaking to my sister-in-law, a Canadian who has lived here for 7 years, a lot of the rigidity and conformity expected by citizens shows itself in the number of bars and clubs that get filled nightly by people, as a form of release or protest, I'm not sure which.
Its also a tough life for migrant workers who do a lot of the construction work for low pay, and the maids who also work for low wages with very little protection from abusive employers. I guess the old saying that all that glitters is not gold is true.
We started taking long walks while here...the climate and good parks system makes it enjoyable, and it is something we hope to continue regularly in Canada. We visited some wetlands – mangrove forests that haven't disappeared due to development, although only a fraction of what used to be here is left, and took an interesting walk over a series of bridges in an area of the city that offered great views.
All in all its been a good way to wrap up our tour of South East Asia. Next stop is Vancouver, where we will get re-aquainted with our van,and prepare for the long drive back to Ontario.

I am reposting this question because no one seems to have an opinion on this and I find that hard to believe.
"I am still building my screen bottom boards(as well as my new house, so you can see why I am a little behind), but I am all set up to use the FGMO fogging system. Is it worth using the fogger without the screen bottom boards in place? I understand that if the mites drop off the can climb back on the next bee that walks by, but if this could also works for T. mites than I don't have anything to lose. If the mineral oil actually kills the V. mites then obviously the screen bottom board is not a nessesity(sp). Just looking for some advice. Thanks in advance. David"

I wrote to Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, the sponsor of the bill, with these concerns, and below is her reply.
Dear Dr. Kentsis:Thank you for taking the time to contact me about your opposition to HR 3699. As someone who represents thousands of researchers, research institutions, and publishers, and a strong advocate who helped double NIH funding, I appreciate the opportunity to respond.
First, I think it's important to point out that this bill does NOT impact research reports and raw data generated by government-funded research. This information would still be available at no cost to the public. Reports that suggest that these NIH funded research papers (prior to peer review) will not be available for free are wrong. Authors still retain the ability to share data, reports, and other forms of research findings derived from the taxpayer-funded research. However, once a publisher has worked on a manuscript, spent private funds to improve it and has peer-reviewed it, under this bill, the government would not be able to take that work-product and disseminate it for free. The information, the manuscript, and the data can be made available for free before they receive any private investment.
The purpose of HR 3699 is to support the continued investment and innovation by private-sector publishers in scientific, technical, medical and scholarly journal articles and to advance the public interest in the important peer-review publishing system that helps ensure the quality and integrity of scientific research.
The importance of peer review cannot be overstated. It is the system by which experts give informed comments on papers in highly specialized fields of science. It is essential to providing independent, informed, objective assessments to maintain the quality of scientific articles and ensure that science develops independently of ideological and political interests. Because peer review happens and fixes problems prior to publication, we never hear about the false or erroneous research that would otherwise make it into journal articles.
Moreover, the publishing industry has invested in providing public access to scientific journal articles. Patients can get free access to information on new research through various publisher programs including PatientINFORM. Anyone can go into research libraries for free access to the articles in which publishers have invested substantially to ensure their high quality.
Two-thirds of the access to PubMed central is from non-US users. In effect, current law is giving our overseas scientific competitors in China and elsewhere important information for free. We are already losing scientists due to a reduction in funding for federal research. This policy now sends our value-added research papers overseas at no cost.
Finally, as people continue to struggle during these difficult economic times, it is important to be mindful of the impact of various industries on job creation and retention. New York State is home to more than 300 publishers that employ more than 12,000 New Yorkers, many of whom live in or around New York City in my district. New York City scientific publishers represent a significant subset of the total, and more than 20 are located in Manhattan, publishing thousands of scientific journals and employing thousands of New Yorkers. This bill saves American jobs. No industry could survive a model whereby they invest private dollars and are then required to give it to the federal government to disseminate the final product for free.
Once again, I appreciate your taking the time to contact me.
Sincerely,CAROLYN B. MALONEYMember of Congress
This response speaks for itself, particularly the last 2 sentences, which invert the logic of public access to publicly-funded science to suggest that the "final product" of our science belongs to commercial publishers.

Home>Research>Jack of All Trades>Jack B. Yeats as W. Bird
By 1897 Jack Butler Yeats had moved away from black and white journalistic illustration to establish himself as a serious artist. However in 1910, the allure of the cartoon reasserted itself and the first of Yeats's illustrations for Punch, signed with the pseudonym W. Bird, appeared in the November 2nd edition. Yeats's contribution to Punch would prove both prolific and enduring; he surreptitiously contributed more than 500 W. Bird cartoons between 1910 and 1941, with a final appearance in 1948.
This exhibition, which includes fifty-six of the Gallery's sixty-three Punch cartoons by Yeats, provides a unique opportunity to highlight this lesser-known aspect of his career. In addition to demonstrating the artist's skill with pen and ink, these drawings evidence his wit, his often frivolous sense of humour and his need to explore humanity and society through a variety of media. Character types and topical events are examined as Yeats comments on the foibles of the social classes and various professions, the intrusion of modern technology on Victorian life, and political events such as the suffragist and trade union movements. Although Yeats never admitted that he was the illustrator W. Bird, his continued engagement with Punch, after he had achieved critical success and financial security as an oil painter, convey both his enjoyment of, and need for, this very different creative outlet.

woodson hinted that if pablo isn't ready to go that cope would start.
felton, shump, cope, melo, tyson
a more traditional lineup which would give us some more size. plus we'll still have 4 guys to start the game that can make 3s. JR will come in first off the bench to replace cope or shump depending on how they're playing.

Lots of people picking BOSTON for this series.. There thinking the aura of the celtin and there battle tested players will grind us down and beat us in a fairly long series..
I gotta admit, u coulden't of picked a better team for Melo and the boys to proove there the real deal and not just a regular season team that gets beat in the first rd becaseu there one dimensional scorers.. The knicks beat the celts, and that should quiet all critics..
Just to let u guys know, i'm gonna be posting on here just about every couple minutes during the game tommorow.. So if u guys wanna chat during the game, i'll be here...
If u guys could pick one Xfactor for us that will be defining in getting us past these green goblins, what would u say it'd be?
I think Raymond Felton is the Xfactor.. With news of Prigioni being dinged up with the ankle, hes gotta be that much more a factor.. Hes gotta hit a few 3s, keep the TO's down, get to the hoop like he does better then he gets credit for, and also drive and kick out to guys for open looks at 3.. hes gotta be big for us...

Mizzou Practice No. 11: depth chart changes
Tigers have a new starter at weakside linebacker, also have some freshmen moving up the depth chart
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou's first practice since the Saturday scrimmage had to be moved indoors midway through the session. The weather has been nothing if not consistent through the first couple weeks of camp: mild and wet.
- Injury update: Starting safety Matt White (groin) was in a red bib. If he doesn't come out of that thing soon, he may get bypassed by sophomore Ian Simon, who is having a strong camp. Cornberback John Gibson (ankle) is also still in a red bib. So, too, is freshman tight end Jason Reese (ankle). Wide receiver Wesley Leftwich (hamstring) of Hickman High School was the only player wearing a full non-contact red jersey.
It doesn't take too many practices to figure out the significance of Mizzou's stretch lines in practice. It is a direct reflection of the depth chart as it stands in that particular moment.
Monday brought the first significant preseason changes to the depth chart this fall.
Sophomore Kentrell Brothers, coming off a strong performance in the scrimmage in which he intercepted a pass, moved ahead of junior Darvin Ruise for the starting spot at weakside linebacker.
"In Kentrell's situation, he's making the right reads. He's growing through the program. He's using his athleticism... He's doing a nice job with it."
Those were the words of defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Dave Steckel when asked about what evaluations the coaches make to determine whether or not a player should be moved up or down the depth chart.
The back end of the defense may be where the only true freshman sees significant playing time in 2013.
Head coach Gary Pinkel has specifically mentioned cornerback Aarion Penton on more than one occasion as a player from that class to stand out.
After Monday morning's workout, Pinkel said, "He did some good things (in Saturday's scrimmage). We're going to give him some more opportunities up there with the twos to see if he can get in the four deep or be the fifth corner (in the) nickel (or) dime."
Pinkel followed that up by expressing his pleasure with the freshman class overall.
Perhaps no freshman had a more eye-popping stat sheet in the scrimmage than quarterback Eddie Printz.
The Marietta, Ga. native completed 15 of 16 passes (93.8%). Those 15 completions, however, netted only 97 yards.
Still, the coaching staff was impressed enough with Printz's work that Pinkel disclosed he will be getting some future reps with the third-team offense.
"You don't see much drop-off when he's in there," says quarterbacks coach Andy Hill. "You see him having good enthusiasm, good leadership. And the bottom line is he's throwing the football, and the guys are catching it."
What this Printz promotion may mean for Corbin Berkstresser at the moment, though, is unknown.

I agree.
As for nails, we have found Maze double dipped galvanized nails from Peru Illinois to be the best.

Walter Osborne Archive Collections, ESB Centre for the Study of Irish Art
Walter Osborne was 25 years old when he wrote this letter to his father while on a painting trip to the small village of North Littleton near Stratford-Upon-Avon. The young artist begins by informing his father that he is ill but goes on to describe a painting he has recently finished and one that he is working on of a young girl feeding chickens. He provides a delicate sketch of this composition on the second page of the letter. He also comments on the weather and food and gives his opinion of the local people.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- San Francisco 49er and former Ichabod Michael Wilhoite made his professional homecoming Friday night as his team played Kansas City in Arrowhead Stadium. His is one of three former Icabods on NFL rosters this season.
Wilhoite started at inside linebacker for the 49ers and played in all but one first half series. He also started the second half and ended up with three tackles, fourth best on the team. The 49ers scored a late touchdown, the only offensive one of the game for either team, and won 15-13.
"More than anything, it was just fun to be out there with my teammates," Wilhoite said. "It seemed like every time I turned around, I heard someone calling my name."
Wilhoite had two tackles during Kansas City's second drive of the second quarter. He then broke up a pass inside the San Francisco 10-yard line late in the half and Kansas City had to settle for a field goal later in the series.
"I think I played pretty well," said Wilhoite, who got the start in place of the injured Patrick Willis. "One thing we always try to stand up to is the peers and play as good as the best out there."
The second-year NFL player out of Topeka and Highland Park High School played in every series of the first half except Kansas City's final possession.
"When I first went out there for warmups, it was like, man, I'm finally in Arrowhead," Wilhoite said in a post-game interview with Washburn Sports Information. "For me, it was just a good opportunity to get to play here. I probably waved at 10 people. A lot of these people can't make it out the California."
The current Washburn football team watched Wilhoite's performance together on campus Friday night. Wilhoite graduated from Washburn in December 2010 with a bachelor of arts in mass media.
Wilhoite joins Cary Williams (Philadelphia) and Brian Folkerts (Carolina) as former Ichabods on current NFL rosters as the league plays its second week of preseason games. Williams and Wilhoite played against each other in last year's Super Bowl with Williams and the Baltimore Ravens winning the championship.
"It's a testament to hard work," Wilhoite said. "Three guys out of Division II is still quite a few guys, especially out of Washburn. It shows the type of recruiting coach (Craig) Schurig does."

RE: AW: st: sort of standardization

RE: AW: st: sort of standardization

The first is certainly a sensible way to calculate length of stay if
time is recorded only as daily dates. It can be regarded as "number of
days present".
Lachenbruch, Peter
Subject: RE: AW: st: sort of standardization
That isn't a range, as you indicate - it's the number of days of
hospitalization or the length of an episode.
Joseph Coveney
I'm not trying to side with Rich on this, but I know of at least one
area where such a formula is used for a range--or at least a range-like
concept--and is not intended to indicate cardinality: in medical
length of hospital stay is defined as
discharge date - admittance (admission) date + 1
and duration of an episode of a drug side effect is apparently defined
some quarters as
recovery time - onset time + 1
Nick Cox
For sure, but who (else) calls this the range?
That's just (a version of) the number of distinct values. In some moods,
or in some circles, many of us would call it the cardinality.
A version of, because to spell out the obvious, even with integers there
are at least three definitions that need not give the same numerical
1. Number of distinct values observed.
2. Number of distinct values possible in principle.
3. max - min + 1.
Otherwise put, are we talking different terminology or different
Lachenbruch, Peter
I think Rich is thinking of the number of distinct integers between 1
and 10, while the range is generally defined as the largest minus the
Nick Cox
The word "range" is surely ambiguous, although the ambiguity does not
bite hard. I have no difficulty in saying both that the range is the
interval [1,10] and that the range is the difference 9. Does that differ
from Rich's view?
Richard Goldstein
look at it this way -- if my min is 1 and my max is 10, then the range
is 10 (it seems to me), not 9 -- i.e., I think of the range as the min
to the max *inclusive* of each endpoint; StataCorp apparently disagrees

I agree that the movement before the jump entry does not count as a back spiral, but it's not stroking or gliding, either. Also immediately exiting the jump is a RBO loop (not loop jump) --- one could argue about its quality but it is not doubt choreographically intended to be a loop. I'm not jaylee, so I don't know what she/he referred to as "mini-SE."1b) "back spiral preceding her second lutz (and a mini-spread eagle immediately exiting out of it)"
Back spiral? Is this the back spiral referenced? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O59GUx8iJMI#t=2m04s If so, that ain't a spiral as the free leg never went above the hip and the position was not maintained for even half a second. In a spiral, it is very important the tension of the position be maintained in the upper body as well but there was no such tension in that "split second spiral", too short, no tension and free leg below the hip. Mini-spread eagle : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O59GUx8iJMI#t=2m11s That is not a spread eagle, not even by adding the qualification that it is a "mini". By definition, a spread eagle needs to be on either inside or outside edge with clear gliding movement. The video clip showed the edge is flat in an almost standing-still position - it is simply standing on two foot.
Either I have misunderstood you here or you have misunderstood the criteria for Transitions component. It is supposed to evaluate the intricacy and difficulty of anything about connecting moves. I am not a judge but I have been told by at least one judge that it is more difficult to go from a jump landing to a spin or step sequence with no stroking or crossovers or just obvious rest. Most skaters lose speed upon landing a jump, but starting the next technical element, be it a spin or a step seq, you need some momentum to get started. The lack of any momentum generating moves (simple stroking or crossovers) signifies higher technical abilities. Therefore indeed if a skater CAN go from a jump landing to a spin/steps without push push push she would be rewarded for TR difficulty.1e) "Her solo 3S exits directly into her footwork" This is factually correct but the subsequent interpretation of its value is incorrect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O59GUx8iJMI#t=1m16s Going into a step sequence upon exiting a jump does not add value to the transition of the program given that this component criteria specifically evaluates the linkage between two elements. There is no linkage between the two elements to speak of here.
PCS consists of 4 components beyond transitions. Perhaps the most crucial one is skating skills, which cannot be accurately and reliably assessed without seeing a performance live. I suggest caution when making armchair but definitive judgment about PCS from TV impression.Do you feel Kim has a huge PCS advantage over Osmond based on their respective national long program performance? Since Krislite did not specify what "huge PCS gap" is, I am going to assume by huge, it is meant the difference would be at least 10+ points of difference in the overall PCS. Do you feel that is the case, based on their respective most recent performance at their nationals and why?

My home town, Shelton, Washington, on Washingon's Olympic Peninsula, also claims Paul Bunyan, and his Blue Ox named "Babe". For many years, the local home-tow theatre was the "Blue Ox Theatre", until it was condemned and torn down. The old growth Douglas firs there were every bit as impressive as the redwoods, but they are all gone nonw, harvested for lumber, except for the ones in the Olympics National Park.

Where I stayed
Yesterday we travelled through some of the Redwood Forest to get here. These trees are absolutely amazing giants. We did a walk through at one of the stops along the way and then took the "Sky Trail" gondola to the top for views of the ocean and all the trees. Gwen enjoyed the gondola ride especially when Gord had to stand to take photos. It was a very humbling walk, made you think of how special these trees are.
Some are a couple of thousand years old. In one spot there was a "cathedral" of trees where weddings have been performed. It was one of those places that gives you goose-bumps
Paul Bunyon supposedly lived in these forests with "Babe" his blue ox, so hence the photos of him in the blog. Note that Babe was male….
Today was another special day travelling through the "Avenue of Giants", a 31 mile long side road off the main highway through some old growth forests. Truly spectacular to see all the giants.
Got to drive through a hollow tree, so that was kinda cool. We did lots of geo-caching along the route (4 hours to drive 31 miles)so got to venture into the forests often. The vegetation is so thick it's actually dark and not easy to photograph. Gord the ex forester started to think green thoughts and now understands the need to conserve some of these treasures. Did I say that??
On November 3rd we explored north of Eureka and would have seen some great views of the ocean had it not been so foggy. Almost too dark for photos. We learned that this place is in fog most of the year. Kind of like Gord....


text: I have owned 2 Cobalts in my day. I had an 05 Lt, then i realised i wanted the SS so i traded it in for an 06 SS. i bought the car fall of 06, New/Used. Had a new car title, but it had 2500 miles on it. It was the owners car, his demo. but the warrenty didnt start until i purchased it which was nice. it listed for just under $25,000. i purchased it for $16,500. fully loaded, and it has the limited G85 package, which gave you a slightly upgraded trans with an LSD, Recaro racing seats, and an overall slightly lighter car. For those of you who dont know this car has a supercharged 2.0 4 cylinder. and puts out 10-11 psi stock. GM way under rated the car i believe for insurance purposes. they claim it make 205hp at the engine. me and many other Cobalt owners have put down 215-220hp at the wheels I am very much into cars and trucks of all kinds, lowered lifted, fast slow, import american made. i just like things done tastfully but to the extreme at the same time. Well here is my car with only 12,400 miles on it, and a fully built motor (with internals) currently pushing 25psi, on 116oct. race gas. last dyno pull was at only 18 PSI on 116 oct. and it had 320ish hp and 315tq This car was built by me and my crew in house, and we also painted it.

Audi A6 has brought out all of its newest technologies for the public to see. Audi has a very large collection of high tech gadgetry in its catalog, and this particular A6 was fitted with almost all of it (it did not have the sports rear differential). One of our favorite features ever fitted to a car is the Audi Advanced key. The A6 comes standard with keyless start, but the advanced key adds keyless lock and unlock to the mix. Admittedly not a brand new feature, it is nonetheless one of those things that you never realize how nice it is till you have to be without it. The fact that you never have to take the key out of your pocket is something we like in our hectic lives of brief cases and camera bags. It has the eager 3 liter supercharged engine. The MMI system with touch pad from the A8 completely revolutionizes the data entry process for navigation and telephone, giving drivers the ability to "write" letters on the touch pad instead of forcing them to stare at the MMI display screen while they twiddle the main control dial from letter to letter. The new A6 is a rolling showcase of modern automotive technology, both in the safety and infotainment areas, which combine to make traveling so much more enjoyable. Add to the fact that the A6 is an absolute joy to drive.
What is the difference between a Audi A6 2012 and Audi s6 2012?I want a Audi but i don't know which one is best for me. I want a good car performance wise. I want to know about the major differences between A6 and the S6. Thanks
I am a Audi fan , I like Audi style, advance tenology . It brings me to enjoy!!!The Audi A6 multitronic continuously / one manual gearbox, in the luxury car in history, the first true stepless transmission. It features a metal chain transmission mode, completely replace the traditional gear transmission mode, so the power output was frustration feeling, than ordinary automatic transmission more smooth, more has a manual transmission, fast and sensitive, but also save the fuel, control more comfortable. The new S file, improve the ability to accelerate, increase the driving pleasure. Multitronic continuously / one manual gearbox of the most charm, it is finally overcome automatic transmission and manual transmission all inadequacy, surpassing the two performance, realize the great leap of automobile transmission technology

New Audi A6 comes with both diesel and petrol engine. It has four variants viz. New Audi A6 2.8 FSI, New Audi A6 3.0 TFSI, New Audi A6 2.0 TDI and New Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro. Audi A6 2.8 FSI that is a petrol variant generates a power of 201 BHP @ 6500 RPM and a maximum torque of 280 Nm @ 3000-5000 RPM. Audi A6 3.0 TFSI which is another petrol variant churns out a power of 295 BHP @ 6500 RPM and a maximum Torque 440 Nm @ 2900-4500 RPM.--------------------
It has a lot to prove, too. We've been driving cars bearing this badge for many years and, low-volume esoteric spin-offs aside, haven't previously driven one we even really liked, let alone one that got anywhere near rival offerings from Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

North Korea: Beyond the Bamboo Curtain
The division of Korea in 1945, the Korean War which spanned from 1950 to 1953, and resulted in the separation of the Korean peninsula, are some of the events that have left deep wounds in the people of both nations and continue to influence relations with North Korea. Further straining the region are the United States' military presence in South Korea and North Korea's nuclear development program which have brought it much attention in recent years.
Since 2003, both the U.S. and North Korea have participated in the Six-Party Talks meant to address the threat posed by a nuclear North Korea. In April 2009, North Korea quit the talks and announced that it would reverse the ongoing disablement process called for under the Six-Party agreements and restart its Yongbyon nuclear facilities. Given the history and legacies of the Korean War, decades of economic sanctions on the DPRK by the U.S., and current political tensions on the Korean peninsula that have been exacerbated by both increased U.S. military presence on the border and the DPRK's emerging nuclear program, it is vital for Americans to travel to this country to in order to help establish people-to-people ties.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload::]]The Citizens Diplomacy Reality Tour to North Korea will give participants the distinct opportunity to see inside this tightly guarded nation and gain first-hand perspective the effects of both U.S. and North Korean policies. Participants will have a chance to put a human face on this ongoing political dispute and help facilitate understanding and respect between people of different nations.
