We hope you'll mark your calendar and plan to attend our open house at the Henry County Extension Office on Thursday, May 8.
Our Open House and Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Cooperative Extension Service will be from 4 to 6 pm. We'll reminisce, and we have some special guests and programs during the evening.
The 4-H Communications Event and Variety Show was held on April 10 at the Henry County Cooperative Extension Service office.
Those that competed in the speech category were: Jakob Beckley in the 15 year old category with a speech entitled "Hemp" and the potential uses and increase to the American economy.
Katherine Buckler's speech in the 14 year old category was on "Water Step" a new nonprofit movement to turn old shoes into water filtration systems in third world countries.
When you drive through the rolling land in Henry County, you can find many black cherry trees, including some in farm fencerows. While standing upright, there is not much danger, but if one of these trees or a limb falls in a windstorm, there can be problems for livestock.
The leaves of black cherry trees, especially wilted ones, are high in cyanic acid, which can kill livestock by depriving them of oxygen. You can reduce the likelihood of livestock losses due to wild black cherry trees by cutting them out of fencerows.
The 2014 Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) "Farmer of the Year" application process is now open, and the organization is seeking the Commonwealth's finest nominees for this prestigious award.
Tractor Supply Company, in partnership with the National 4-H Council, recently announced the launch of its spring 2014 Paper Clover Campaign.
Tractor Supply Company, the largest retail farm and ranch supply store chain in the United States, raised more than $3.2 million for 4-H programs across the country through the Paper Clover Campaigns over the last four years.
Late last week, we saw apples at silver tip and peaches at the swollen bud stage. So, if you haven't done so yet, it is time to get the dormant oil and fixed copper spray on apples and pears for San Jose scale, aphid, mite and fire blight control. It is a little too late to control peach leaf curl on peaches with fixed copper since the buds have begun to swell, but an oil spray is recommended for San Jose scale and mite control if it hasn't been applied.
While change isn't easy for some people, it's inevitable in some circumstances. Throughout the history of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, countless agents have worked to help Kentuckians learn about and embrace important changes. This year will mark the anniversary of the passage of the Smith-Lever Act, which formally established the national Cooperative Extension Service system. The UK Cooperative Extension Service is celebrating ways that extension has helped clients change their lives for the better.
We all want to eat food that tastes good. One of the most common ways we tend to make food taste good is by adding salt. Unfortunately, most American diets are too high in sodium. Diets high in sodium can raise blood pressure, which can lead to many major health issues including heart disease. Herbs provide a great way for us to limit our sodium intake while still consuming flavorful foods.
Near the end of most winters, diagnosticians at the veterinary labs, veterinarians, and producers see a few aged beef cows in poor body condition and a rumen full of forage material (hay) just 'run out of gas' with a belly full of hay and green grass just around the corner. However, this winter, they have seen these 'malnutrition' cases on a much more frequent basis, at a much earlier date, and have seen younger cows affected.

No one ever told us that being parents would be so difficult. Each day is a clash of emotions, the joy and the doubts, the pleasures and the worries, a constant questioning of oneself, never knowing, never being in the position to judge just how we are doing. Nights fraught with worry as we lie in bed, eyes riveted to the ceiling, images of disaster floating in the darkness keeping us awake until we jump up, peek our head around the corner and hear, once again, the gentle rhythm of their breathing or the faint click of the front door closing and, as we finally fade into sleep, we realize that at least for tonight they are once again safe.
My husband and I stand and watch in wonder and amazement the young men our two sons have turned out to be: smart, funny, vibrant, generous, and we ask ourselves if all the worry, all the pushing and the screaming, arms flailing, accusations flying, were worth it. We ask ourselves if our judging them against their classmates, our disappointment in their place on the grade curve, our berating them to dress correctly, study more, eat breakfast, work harder had any effect at all. And we ask ourselves if our trying so hard, expending so much negative energy in trying to mold them into what our or, worse, others' expectations were of where they should be heading made any difference at all or alter the natural course of things? Did it bring them to a different place in the world than exactly where they find themselves today or change their destiny one iota? Did it offer anything at all to us except our own bouts of guilt and anger, our own doubts eating away inside ourselves?
And at the end of the day, we see two responsible, handsome, kind young men, two people appreciated and loved for who they are. We look back over the past year and see all that they have accomplished, one a brilliant student and businessman, the other giving his time and offering his heart in helping others. We understand that it was not ours to judge them, compare them against others, placing society's expectations on their young shoulders, but rather the simple, every day act of nourishing them, both body and soul, working hard alongside of them, setting our own goals, our own visions together regardless of those around us, having confidence in them as individuals as well as in ourselves, setting an example through our own beliefs, our own values, that seems to have helped them find their rightful and right place in the world. And that is the true sign of success as a parent.
As I sat for days pondering this blog post, a few short paragraphs meant to swiftly glide through my accomplishments as a writer, all I have done these past twelve months and the projects, plans and dreams I have for 2011, I was finally struck by the parallel between being a parent and being a writer and blogger. Although the stakes are not at all the same, I do feel as if my blog and my career as a professional writer are my children, to be cared for and nourished, to be handled gently and thoughtfully, to be guided through life, infused with my own values and ideals and then to be sent out into the world, hopefully earning the respect of others, being loved and appreciated and finding their rightful and just place. This past year has indeed been wrought with worry and self-doubt. I have spent an inordinate amount of time beating my chest and pulling at my hair as I compare my stats or my pace, my "successes" against how others appear to be progressing, wondering over and over again what I am doing wrong or if I should be handling things differently. Yet, little by little, as I gain confidence in my work as a writer, as I find my own style, my own unique voice, as the exhilaration sweeps through my body as the words flow from brain to fingertips to paper just as I imagine them, with each encouraging word from someone I respect, I come to realize that comparing myself and my work to others is futile. I want to be my own voice and pave my own path, not let others dictate my blog design, my recipe choices, my writing style or my goals. As we have so often told our sons, just be yourself, work hard and honestly, follow and nurture your passions and believe in yourself and all will fall into place.
My style finally settled down and found its home in 2010. With a mixture of confidence and humility, I marched boldly into the year and decided that it was time to take risks both on my blog and beyond the blog. I have accepted that my blog Life's a Feast is unique in that, unlike most, it focuses neither on the recipe nor stunning food photography but rather on my stories, often long and winding and pulling the reader into a parallel world. Although I often doubt if it is what others expect from a food blog, I love what I do, I cherish my own space where I can express myself just as I feel and I have been blessed (a word I hate using but there you go) with a readership who respects my writing and who are touched by my words, inspired to add their own thoughts and stories at the end of each post. I honed my networking skills and reached out, not without some hesitation and self-questioning, and was offered the chance to write for the prestigious Huffington Post on their newly-created Food page. This experience offered me the opportunity and challenge to shift my writing away from the strictly personal, posts written as if for friends sitting around my kitchen table, to a wider audience less interested in hearing stories than food for thought.
I was published this year in Foodista's Best of the Blogs Cookbook, featuring my emotional story about my dear old dad, Man in the Moon, as well as two recipes. My review of Joan Nathan's wonderful cookbook was republished in its entirety on her own website!
After having spoken at Food Blogger Connect in both 2009 and 2010 on the topic Writing Style/Finding Your Voice, I joined up with Jeanne, Ilva and Meeta, three great friends and tremendous talents, to create the From Plate to Page Workshop, delighted to be able to share our vision, passion and experience with other food bloggers. I am so proud to say that bloggers now turn to me for advice on writing, which is the true sign of respect and recognition for all my hard work and passion, and I greatly appreciate it. I have also recently been requested to speak at one other food blogger conference and have been proposed as a speaker at a third, neither of which is in Europe. I feel that I have finally come into my own as a writer and am making a name for myself.
And as for 2011, I have several projects that have already been set in motion as we speak, submissions awaiting a response, proposals and plans being worked on. Although it is really too early to speak of any one of them, each and every one is a sign of the confidence I now have in myself. I am satisfied that I have worked long and hard to bring my writing to a level that I feel is worthy of being called professional. My husband and I recently discussed our plans, his own, mine and ours together and we came to one conclusion: this is the year that we will make it happen. All of it.
What have I learned in 2010 and try to put into practice every single day?
Patience: I have given myself the time to hone my skills. I have worked hard to understand myself, my true passions and my strengths. I have learned the art of networking; there is a fine line between assertive and aggressive and crossing over that line there is always the risk of burning bridges. I believe that if I am truly talented, I will be noticed without being loud.
Confidence: I strive to have confidence in myself and my talents. I have come to measure myself only against myself; to compare my goals only to my own.
Humility: I never assume that I am the best. I also understand that although many love my style, many will not; it is all a matter of taste. I have come to accept that no matter how good and talented I believe myself to be, there is always room for improvement, growth, change.
Individuality: While I allow others to inspire me I refuse to copy anyone's style. I seek out my strengths and nurture them. I have learned to trust myself and my instincts and to follow them, while gratefully accepting guidance, advice and encouragement from those whom I respect.
My wish for each and every one of you is to gather all the treasures around you, no matter how small, look for the best inside of you and put them together to create something that is all yours, something exceptional! I so look forward to continuing this discussion, these reflections all throughout 2011 with you and am thrilled to have the chance to do just that at our two From Plate to Page workshops scheduled for this year. I'm already packing my bags for the first one being held in May in Weimar, I am so excited about it!
Just a word on food photography: although my words paint a pretty picture, tell a story, create an emotional, often sentimental space, the same style does not work for my photography. I dress my images as I dress myself: bold and stark, dark against utter white, sharp and focused. This is what reflects my own personal style and personality best. I could attempt to copy other bloggers' styles, I have sat at the knee of the best of them (Ilva, Meeta, Jeanne) but in the search to find my own style, my own voice, I have found what works best for me not only in my writing but my photography as well.

Searching the Sacred Lecture: Paul and the Popular Philosophers as Moral Mentors: Toward Formation and Discipleship Today" by Dr. Max Lee, Associate Professor of New Testament, North Park Seminary, Chicago, IL.
Sponsored by the Department of Religion and the Philiosophy Department and Phelps Scholars Program.
Dr. Max Lee (Associate Professor of New Testament, North Park Seminary) will be giving a lecture that will appeal to faculty, staff and students who seek to learn more about the role that a liberal arts education can play in the character and moral formation of persons. In the spirit of answering the question: "What doesAthenshave to do withJerusalem" - Dr. Lee proposes to show that popular philosophers like Epictetus, Seneca, Plutarch and Galen offered a vision of life well beyond that of material success. In fact, they viewed education as the furnishing of a moral soul, and did so by fostering relationships with mentors.St. Paulinteracts with and radicalizes this mentoring tradition, showing how persons can break patterns of sin, achieve mastery over the passions, and pursue justice. This lecture has direct implications for our Christian liberal arts curriculum, theological education, and the spiritual and moral formation of students.

Appartment is very good located and has space enough for 4 to 5 people (one bedroom for adults, the other bedroom rather for 2-3 kids). Great is tennis-court and pool on the rooftop with amazing few.
The price was rather high and for this, in our opinion all details shoud be perfect (like dishwashing machine must work correctly, all lights should work, no broken chairs).
We stayed at the apartment in April 2015 (2 adults and 2 children) and found it to be excellent. Great location (handy to transport and also easy to walk into town and around), great facilities, spacious, very comfortable and very clean and tidy. The one negative was dealing with Peter and his office staff. When asking for clarification or assistance, they were very defensive and their general communication was not great. Once they sort that out, I would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment as a great place to stay.
Vielen Dank für das tolle Apartment. Es hat eine super Lage zu den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Alles was man benötigt ist vorhanden (tolle Küche, Waschmaschine, Trockner, Balkon, …). Der Pool auf dem Dach ist genial. Hier hat man eine schöne Aussicht. Auf dem Weg zur Bahn kommt man an einem Supermarkt vorbei. Alles war bei der Ankunft sauber und gepflegt. Kann es nur wärmstens empfehlen und würde hier jederzeit wieder übernachten wollen. Nochmal ein großer Danke an Peter, weiter so.
Bel appartement, 2 belles chambres, séjour spacieux. Bon équipement en électroménager. Piscine, Tennis, salle de sport : de réels avantages. Appartement bien situé dans Sydney car proche de la gare centrale. Il est localisé dans un quartier de qualité où la vie est calme et très agréable. Attention, le quartier manque un peu de commerces de proximité et il faut donc prendre ses précautions avant de rentrer.
Das Apartment hat eine Top-Lage und ist sehr schön groß und gut aufgeteilt. Allerdings dürften die drei Betten dickere Matratzen haben. Wir waren dort mit fünf Erwachsenen, das war für die drei im kleinen Zimmer schon sehr beengt. Man sollte zur Beschreibung hinzufügen, dass es für 2 Erwachsene und bis 3 Kinder gilt. Mit dem Schlüssel und Service hat alles super geklappt.Vielen Dank dafür.
이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
Fantastic view, Good bed, a little bit shabby but clean, perfect contact,
We had a great stay at his condo before our cruise. It was just as advertised and anything we needed was only a phone call away.
It was very clean when we arrived and the beds are very comfortable.
The condo is in a great location within walking distance to the CBD and Darling Harbour. We will defiantly be staying here again when we come back to Sydney.
Fabulous apartment, very spacious and clean, with a gorgeous view of the bridge and cityscape, lovely little touches by the host made us feel at home, very secure building and parking made all the difference I will definitely be booking this apartment again in the future
Very nice spacious apartment with a fantastic view of Sydney. Great location. We really enjoyed our stay.
A perfect apartment with a perfect location.

In Wine Country, a Road Less Traveled
Vintage Towers Bed & Breakfast Inn • Cloverdale, CA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in One of Four Suites, Sundays through Thursdays ($299) or Fridays and Saturdays ($385)
- Gourmet Breakfast for Two Each Day
- Wine Tasting Pass to 122 Area Wineries
- Welcome Bottle of Wine
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
Think of Cloverdale, California, as the back door to wine country. Situated at the intersection of four valleys, each known for its viticultural excellence (and none named Napa or Sonoma), this historically rich town at the northern tip of Sonoma County serves up equal parts epicurism, modesty, and natural beauty.
At Vintage Towers Bed & Breakfast Inn, itself situated at the intersection of excellent dining and shopping on tree-lined Main Street, you'll be met with this same off-the-beaten-path vibe. Done up in harvest-season gold and Merlot purple, this 1901 Queen Anne Victorian inn stands over an immaculately landscaped yard, with burbling fountains, colorful overgrown gardens, and a lily-clad koi pond all humming with life.
Each of four suites—equipped with a private bath, a king- or queen-size bed with luxury linens, a TV, and WiFi—is appointed with elegant period furnishings, like an Eastlake walnut-and-marble bedroom set. Some boast clawfoot tubs, others have private balconies, and others feature fireplaces. Morning at Vintage Towers means a gourmet multi-course breakfast, much of which is prepared with produce from the inn's very own garden: basil-and-artichoke frittatas with cherry scones, anyone?
Cloverdale might be under the radar 'round these parts, but it was still voted the #2 Coolest Small Town in America in 2010 by readers of Budget Travel. Vintage Towers innkeeper Mary Stuart is even quoted in the article: "Everyone picks up dinner at the farmers market and gets wine from one of the vineyards' stands," she says. But with quick access to the Alexander, Russian River, Anderson, and Dry Creek valleys, you'll want to venture out with your wine tasting pass, valid at 122 of the region's 200 or so wineries. For dinner, head back to Cloverdale for classic Mexican at La Hacienda or casually upscale Italian at Piacére Ristorante Italiano. Then again, Healdsburg is just 20 minutes south and boasts several high-end restaurants.
"The rooms are authentically antique laden, and the beds are comfortable. The grounds are an oasis of garden delights, and Don is a fount of information about the vineyards you are about to discover. We WILL be back!"-- TripAdvisor

To be fucked by two men at the same time with one in the mouth and one mounting from behind either in the ass or vagina. The motion made by the two men is similar to that of two old time lumberjacks sawing a tree in half.

Gibbs' complete professionalism, rock solid defence and unbounded enthusiasm saw him become an integral part of that 1997 triumph in what was just the second series win over South Africa in the 20th century.
Four years earlier, he was a surprise starter in both the second and third Tests on the tour of New Zealand when he ousted then England captain Will Carling from the starting XV.
Despite not making the original party for the 2001 tour to Australia, Gibbs put his initial disappointment behind him to become a positive influence on the rest of the squad when called up as a late replacement for the injured Mike Catt.
In total, Gibbs played 15 times for the Lions over 12 years, winning five Test caps in the process.
Date of birth: January 23 1971
Clubs: Bridgend, Neath, Swansea, St Helens (RL), Ospreys
International caps: Wales 53 (also capped by Wales and GB at rugby league)
Height: 5ft 10in (1.78m)
Weight: 15 stone 7lbs (98kg)
Gibbsâ?? Lions lowdown
Lions debut: Versus North Harbour, Auckland, May 26, 1993
Lions Tests: 5 (2nd and 3rd Tests 1993, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Tests 1997)
Lions non-Test appearances: 10
Total Lions appearances: 15 (seven in 1993, six in 1997, two in 2001)
Lions points: 15 (three tries)
Final Lions appearance: Versus ACT Brumbies, Canberra, July 3, 2001
Hereâ??s Scottâ??s view on all things Lionsâ?¦
On growing up as a Lions fan
â??I watched the 1989 Lions religiously but I can remember watching the 1980 Lions in South Africa. I remember getting up very earlier in the morning to watch the â??89 Lions series and I could see how much that meant to those guys.
â??When you become exposed to Lions rugby or international rugby you always look back and look at the successes of the Lions tours in â??71 and â??74. Before that, my dad would articulate some from the 50s and 60s.â?
On living the dream
â??In 1990/91, the year after watching the 1989 Lions tour, I was in that mêlée with some of those internationals who had represented them.
â??Iâ??d seen the likes of Ieuan Evans, Mike Hall, John Deveroux, Anthony Clement and Rob Jones and so on, so to be playing with them in the same Welsh team in the following couple of years was a privilege.
â??Once Iâ??d played for Wales, the next subject matter was the British & Irish Lions and by 1993 I was firmly fixed that the Lions is what it is all about.â?
On the 1993 tour to New Zealand
â??Iâ??ve got massively fond memories of 1993 even though we didnâ??t win the Test series.
â??It was initially strange to be away for nine weeks in New Zealand. Looking back now, it was probably even stranger as there was no real telecommunications through mobile phones and so forth so it was old school touring.
â??I went on that tour as an underdog and ended up playing the second third Tests. That was a great highlight for me because I remember Ian McGeechan was delighted to give me the jersey because Iâ??d earned it. I played hard, trained hard and I deserved to get there.
â??Thatâ??s one thing I learned from being with the Lions is that you get picked on merit and that was great.â?
On the 1997 triumph in South Africa
â??When that squad was announced in â??97, I think there was an element that this squad was different, this management was different, and all those elements came together to create one playing entity.
â??There was never anyone who felt alienated in any way. Thatâ??s a true strength of a squad, that inward support from everybody. That was there in abundance in â??97 and that was why it was so successful on the field and off the field. We made a lot of friendships and there was never one clique.
â??Iâ??ve got my lists of Lions laws, and togetherness was on it. There was never any question of us against them. It was all 35 preparing to beat the Springboks. Everybody played their part in that and thatâ??s why everyone can share in the delight that we won the series because it wasnâ??t done by just the team on the day.â?
On what the Lions means
â??I think the Lions has meant more to the rugby fraternity because it brings people together and thereâ??s a common goal.
â??It galvanises and brings all the Home Unions together. Itâ??s the best of the best.â?

I read excerpts from the interview. She apparantly is under the impression that she was the only person he cheated with. Didn't some of Tiger Woods mistresses believe they were the only one as well. I'd be surprised if Rielle was the only woman he "loved" outside of his marriage. She is delusional and just plain weird.
I think most famous and powerful men cheat. What cause a problem is when the men show poor judgement, become reckless, and pick non-professional sex workers who will maintain discretion and understand what the relationship is about – sex.

wow, sugar- that's a bold position! but, i agree with you. that's why i have less of a problem with eliot spitzer than most people have with him. edwards is worse than spitzer in my book. i think sex for pay is creepy, but, you know… i guess i don't have a lot of faith in the male species' ability to refrain from certain physical pleasures. not that women are angels, mind you…

of course we want politicians to be better than we are! why would we just choose joe schmoe for president? also, if someone is so easily pulled away from something they've sworn to be faithful to, do i want them representing me? not really. is it realistic to think men won't cheat? no. is it realistic to think politicians won't abuse their power? no. is it realistic to think politicians won't abuse their power to bed women? i wish it were… but, regardless, at the end of the day, john turned out to be, quite simply, a liar. he went to great lengths to hide and lie about a child he made. that's what is most disgusting. how could you do that to a little girl?

|My Asko w640 is 10 years old now, during that time I have put new motor brushes in it 3 times, (well one brush at a time), the last one being only 2 months ago.
Now I have "wash motor failure" message on screen again.
I pulled out the motor and the brushes only to see that they are both fine with plenty of carbon rod left.
So I hoped to strip the motor but the end housings are permanently attached so you cannot take it apart. I blew out TONS of black dust (from the brushes I assume) with compressed air and then soaked it internaly in electrical cleaner and allowed it to evaporate.
Reassembled the machine and it stills behaves identically.
The motor makes some attempts to spin (a few degrees at best) then surrenders and gives "wash motor failure" on screen.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !

|All fixed now
At first we thought we could repair the motor, a close look at the commutator showed it was out-of-true ... (not round).
So we drilled out the ridiculous no-service pins that held the ends on the motor and replaced them with nuts and bolts the way they should have been made.
Then whacked the center in the lathe and trued-up the commutator, cleaning out all the little gaps filled with years of brush gunk etc...
Re-assembled it and it behaved just the same (with bonus smoke from the windings ! )
We then declared it dead and shoveled the crazy $298au for a new motor and HEY PRESTO! the washer works (it's 10 years old now and we are hoping for another 10 years!!)

|DOH !! New problem with the W640
The new motor ran great for 11 months, Now the machine is constantly blowing it's main fuse on the back - A new cycle starts to fill with water and as soon as the motor is about to start moving, the fuse blows. The motor and all mechanical parts are spinning freely. Can anyone suggest what would be causing the fuse to blow????
We had noticed a water leak spraying water on the back of the console area a month ago when the machine shut itself down and did not blow a fuse ... we dried the area and 2 days later it worked again on it;s own, we were never able to find the leak it seemed to go away magically, so all may be unrelated to current problem

|I should ad that we only use 0 degree cycles (re temperature) so I assume it cannot have anything to do with a heating element

oscp challenge exam question
i have my challenge exam coming up soon.
i have ran out of lab time.
to pass the challenge i feel i may need some more experience in sql injection and creation of exploits.
could anyone advise me where i can find a few tutorials for the creation of exploits.
i would like the tutorial to be with current or easy to find software that is freeware/shareware.
i say this as the example in the oscp used software that is superseded and also not freeware/shareware.
the main parts of the sql injection i would like to practice is command injection and gaining shell.
also could someone please tell me how i could practice sql injection.
my guess is i would have to create the database that allowed sql injection to be preformed on.
and then practice on that.

do not ever compare jordan to cruz.. jordan was the best player to ever plauy the game of basketball cruz isnt even a top 10 player right now
do not ever compare jordan to cruz.. jordan was the best player to ever plauy the game of basketball cruz isnt even a top 10 player right now
To be honest Jordan's personality comes off way more self centered than Cruz. If I was completely oblivious to each of the athlete's skills I'd venture to guess that success and outside ventures would go to Jordan's head and affect his play more than Cruz.
The Jordan comparison is ridiculous but so is calling Jernigan a suitable replacement for Cruz!
Jernigan exhbits some skills that Cruz has i am not saying randle and jj are same quality football players as cruz but they can turn out too be very good wr's...
Jordan was arrogant but was only arrogant cause he knew he was the best and did not take crap from anyone.. cruz is humble and just looking for money and perserving his future.. trust me his agents will advise him not to give it his all and get injured and ruin this potential clothing lines shoe lines tv shows... his dance can be made into something special look at all the commercials he has already.
Well, Cruz turned down DWTS last season to supposedly focus on football, so hopefully he continues to have his focus in the right place.
He'll take a discount to stay here. He isn't worth anything to Jay-Z if he isn't in New York.
I'd rather franchise cruze this season and let nicks go next season to get cruze an extension

To meet increasingly rigorous mechanical codes and standards, today's ventilation systems must become more sophisticated. Sensible-cooling loads are being reduced as codes require tighter, more energy-efficient building construction, higher-efficiency HVAC equipment, and more precise ventilation. Consequently, latent loads are becoming more significant in overall HVAC load calculations, and, in many instances, design-load sensible-heat ratio (SHR) is below 0.60. This article discusses ...

Garlic chicken. Potato salad. Macaroni salad.
That first meal after 36 years behind bars was as good as a gold album for Rick Stevens.
"Real food," Stevens recalls. "In the pen, we call it fuel. That's all it was. Fuel, not food."
No complaints, however. Stevens, now 72, reveals no bitterness these days at how he spent half his life, and says the jurors who convicted him in 1976, on two counts of murder and one of manslaughter got it right.
"I said to them, 'I know this was not an easy decision for a lot of you who felt I deserved it. I have no ill will toward you. God bless you all. Thank you.'"
The former lead vocalist for "Tower of Power" was found guilty in the deaths of three drug dealers who he claimed had threatened him.
Sentenced to two seven years to life terms, Stevens lost numerous attempts at parole before he was released last July 20, after 36 years behind bars.
Inside state prison, it was his status as singer for the Oakland funk group that kept him alive, said Stevens, the smooth voice behind "You're Still a Young Man."
Making do in prison
Because of the case's publicity -- the Seattle Times called it one of history's Top 11 Most Notorious Rock 'n Roll Crimes -- "everyone knew I was coming" when Stevens arrived in prison.
"Music served me well," Stevens said. "It was a blessing. I could walk among the Crips, the Bloods, the Nortenos, the Skinheads, bikers."
Not that Stevens was impervious to those who may not have been one of his devoted fans.
"I've had my back up against the wall. In prison, you might find yourself in a cell with a guy who is a complete a-hole," Stevens said. "You don't sleep until you ask the guards if it's cool. Sometimes you have to ask for a 'cell swap.' A lot of times, that happened."
Today is the six-month anniversary of his release. Speaking by phone last week, Stevens is continuing his transition to freedom in Antioch where he lives with his eldest son. Stevens makes his first publicized appearance Thursday in San Francisco, delivering his trademark song on behalf of autism awareness and The Voices of Latin Rock concert at Bimbo's.
The event, coordinated by Vallejoans Jeff Trager and Ron Sansoe, should show that Stevens still has the pipes, Trager said.
"Rick did his time. And now he's back singing one of the most requested Tower of Power songs in the group's 40 years," Trager said.
Drug downfall
Emilio Castillo, the co-founder and still-leader of TOP, said in 2002 that Stevens "was one of the greatest singers that ever lived. If it hadn't been for the drugs, he'd have been a star."
Admittedly, Stevens' drug addiction had spiraled out of control, and he found himself in a desperate situation, owing money to drug dealers whom he was unable to pay. On his website, he said the dealers threatened to kill him and harm his family and severely beat one of his friends. Stevens allegedly took a gun for self-protection and met with the dealers, to tell them to leave his friends and family alone.
The meeting, however, turned violent when one dealer, he said, tried to grab his gun and in the ensuing struggle the gun went off and the dealer was killed. In subsequent confrontations, reportedly fearing for his life, Stevens shot and killed two more drug dealers.
Though Stevens was a few years removed from departing Tower when the slayings occurred, his former colleagues were still stunned when the shootings went down, Castillo said from his Arizona home.
"We were all in total shock," Castillo said. "All of us were hanging out with some pretty heavy hitters in the drug scene, so stuff like that could happen at any time. But his crime and conviction was very sad."
Stevens served time in San Quentin, Vacaville, Folsom, and the California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo. He did his last 21 years at Mule Creek State Prison in Ione.
Stevens read to pass the time. The Bible. The Torah. The Koran. Daily newspapers. And he watched PBS.
"It was an education," he said. "Some people study at Penn State. I studied at the state pen."
Castillo and other Tower players reunited with Stevens at a Sacramento recording studio a few months after the singer's release.
"Really emotional," Castillo said. "So many years had passed and he looked so great. He was very apologetic and I just told him that I was glad he was OK."
Castillo last spoke with Stevens in 2008 in prison.
"I was trying to get him a special leave to come and participate in our 40th anniversary DVD, but the prison wouldn't allow it," Castillo said.
Stevens said his 10 children from four marriages were never angry or bitter with their father.
"Unconditional love," Stevens said. "They saw the news and read the papers. I was always vocal about what happened."
Stevens laughed.
"We're probably as dysfunctional as the Jacksons, but nonetheless we're all together," he said.
Perhaps the toughest part of incarceration was quitting drugs cold turkey when Stevens first arrived. After three weeks, he was able to eat a candy bar and keep water down. He started working out. Push-ups. Basketball. He entered prison life at 150 pounds on his 5-foot-9 frame and emerged 36 years later a solid 170.
Still, "you always had to be aware," Stevens said. "Always look behind you."
A movie about his life story is in the works by a Hollywood producer, with Terrence Howard possibly in the lead role, Stevens said.
Starting over
For now, he's looking to start a new band, new recording career, and a new life.
"I'd like another shot at the golden ring," he said. "One more gold record, one more platinum."
"Rick is a really talented singer with a great presence and he has an extremely unique story, so I think the sky's the limit," Castillo said. "I think the most important thing is for him to grow in his walk with the Lord, doing God's will and helping others to avoid making the mistakes that he made. If he does that, there's no limit to what he can do."
No matter how big a movie about his life could be or how well his music career recovers, Stevens said he'll never erase what he did or its memory.
"I'm sorry for what I did," he said. "I'll always remember it and it will always be with me."
One can't change history, Stevens said.
"It's all brought me back to this day," he said, laughing, "I'm still a young man."
