The St. Louis Cardinals dusted off their already-written press release when they announced Wednesday that they have finally agreed to terms with free-agent relief pitcher Trever Miller on a one-year contract for the upcoming 2009 season.
Miller told MLB.com his deal includes incentives that give him a total potential take of $2 million if he meets them all.
The 35-year-old is a veteran of eight-plus seasons in the majors and was a member of the American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays this past season. Miller went 2-0 with a 4.15 ERA in 2008, appearing in 68 games – the 7th highest total among American League lefties.
His career totals include a 14-14 mark with 10 saves and a 4.43 ERA in 519 appearances. Miller is ranked in a tie for third among Major League lefthanders in games pitched since 2003, totaling 414 appearances over that seven-year span.
A deal for Miller was supposedly
done several weeks ago, but after the player completed his physical on November
21, a report surfaced in the
The story mentioned that Miller
had surgery eight years ago to repair a torn labrum. Unless there was new
damage or deterioration, that seems like an awfully long time ago. Perhaps it was used to buy the
two parties time to finish a deal that already looked very done by the time
Miller traveled to
Though unconfirmed, one of our sources suggested the delay was financially-driven surrounding the timing of the payout. Yet, the fact the announced deal is one year rather than two as expected previously adds credence to the medical angle.
Whether medical or money, the issues have somehow been resolved enough in the recent days such that the deal could be completed.
The club is expectedly pleased with their acquisition.
"Improving our bullpen – especially from the left side – is something that we have been continually focused on," said Cardinals' Vice President/General Manager John Mozeliak. "We feel that today's addition of Trever Miller – an experienced lefty reliever with a proven track record – is a very good step in that direction."
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Miller limited left-handed batters to .209 batting mark (19-for-91) in 2008 while fanning 30 and walking just 10. He allowed a total of just two home runs in his 43.1 innings pitched overall last season and allowed just 6 of 37 inherited runners (16%) to score, the fourth-best percentage in all of baseball, trailing only J.P. Howell, Jason Frasor and Jonathan Papelbon. Miller has allowed just 24 of 125 (19%) of his inherited runners to score over the past three seasons – the top mark in the Majors (min. 100 inherited runners).
Given the dollars are reasonable, the addition of Miller via a single year commitment is a decent move for the Cardinals - if he is slotted as a lefty specialist. Incumbent lefties Randy Flores and Ron Villone each had struggles in 2008, with the latter good against lefties and not so against righties, like Miller.
This move would be even better if a more balanced left-hander is added in addition to Miller. Against righties over his career, Miller has not been particularly effective, allowing a batting average of .293 and an extremely high WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) of 1.67. Last season for the Rays, the numbers were comparable to his career averages at .286 and 1.70, respectively.

NEASC Visiting Committee's report on WMRHS is released
by Edith Tucker
write the author
May 14, 2014
WHITEFIELD — The report of the 16-member visiting Committee of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), all of whom spent four days from Oct. 20 to 23, 2013, at WMRHS learning its ins and outs, was released on Monday. Paul MacMillan of Conway chaired the visiting committee, and Alan Smith of Littleton served as its assistant chairman. Committee members shadowed students, met faculty, roamed the corridors and spent time in classrooms, interviewed faculty, administrators, guidance counselors, and custodians, and attended a community reception.
The 75-page report, designed to assess the quality of the educational program, is part of the ongoing process that takes place over a 10-year cycle, explained principal Mike Berry at a noontime press conference that included assistant superintendent for curriculum Dr. Melissa Keenan.
"This is a living document, one that represents a 10-year process and not a report that is done once every 10 years," the principal explained.
Back in 2004, concerns about the Standards on Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment of Student Learning as well as on Leadership and Organization resulted in the school being placed on "warning" for shortfall in the two areas that had to be — and were — corrected over five years.
Later this month, a follow-up evaluation letter synopsizing commendations in the four Teaching and Learning Standards plus in the three Support of Teaching and Learning Standards that provide the report's framework as well as an outline of what the committee sees as the high school's most pressing problems will be in his hands, Berry said.
"I don't anticipate any warnings this time around," the principal said. "I believe that we did a good job on the self-study, including on the evidence that we used to back up our own assessment," Berry said. "The self-study affirmed the on-site observations that the visiting committee made, giving us overall credibility."
The steering committee effort was led in the first year by social studies teacher Jon Dugan-Henriksen, and hospitality and business teacher Lisa Perras joined him in the second year as co-chair.
The process began before then-principal Erik Anderson unexpectedly accepted the principalship of the Gloucester (Mass.) High School.
"There was very good 'buy-in' from faculty and staff," he said.
Now the commendations — and especially the recommendations — will be examined closely under a seven-person in-house committee. Five members — Berry, assistant principal Mike Curtis, CTE Director Perras, social studies teacher Patsy Ainsworth and math teacher Jeannine Labounty — have already agreed to serve, and two more members will be appointed, one to serve as chairman.
Working with our mission statement has led us to reducing it from a paragraph to a single sentence: "The WMRHS community is committed to establishing and maintaining high standards for all members to achieve, and strives to provide a school culture and climate where caring, respect, collaboration, accountability are the norms." Berry said that he looks forward to seeing this statement influencing the mission statements adopted by the other District schools.
The heart of the report is contained in the seven-page commendations and recommendations. Berry highlighted those he believes are most significant, noting that none — neither the pluses nor the needs to improve — were a surprise.
The principal attributes the range and number of commendations to the professionalism and collegiality that now characterizes the faculty and staff, and he said he looks forward to working together on implementing the report's recommendations.
Both he and Keenan noted that the District has taken the lead in adopting the state's Core Curriculum, increasing the number of Advanced Placement classes from three to 10, and preparing students for the 21st century, in which the speed of communication and the spread of rapidly changing technology has transformed the global economy is one that is highly competitive.
As he looked over the report once again, Berry proudly pointed out that WMRHS is a good solid high school in northern New Hampshire that is small enough to be able to provide individual attention to its at-risk students, to those not living up to their potential, and to those with unusual or unique talents and strengths.

Etihad Closes In on Jet Orders as Emirates Lines Up 777Xs
Etihad Airways is evaluating orders for a range of aircraft from Boeing Co. (BA) and Airbus SAS (EAD) after Gulf rival Emirates said it's planning an "enormous" contract for the U.S. company's new 777X model.
Abu Dhabi-based Etihad is talking with manufacturers about jetliners that would meet its fleet requirements beyond 2020, Chief Commercial Officer Peter Baumgartner said today in Vietnam following the carrier's inaugural flight there.
"We are in discussion with both manufacturers pretty much right across their entire portfolio of aircraft," Baumgartner told reporters in Ho Chi Minh City.
Etihad and Emirates, together with Qatar Airways Ltd., are building immense wide-body fleets as they compete to turn their bases into hubs for long-haul transfer flights. Unlike its Gulf rivals, Etihad has also taken minority stakes in a range of smaller carriers, and Baumgartner said that a planned investment in Jet Airways (India) Ltd. (JETIN) is approaching final hurdles.
At Emirates, President Tim Clark said yesterday in Milan that the world's biggest airline by international traffic is looking at an order to replace 175 twin-engine 777 wide-bodies that the carrier has in its fleet or awaiting delivery.
Boeing's 777X model, which will feature an enlarged wing, upgraded engines and a longer fuselage carrying as many as 400 passengers, is "getting close to where we want it," Clark said, with Emirates now negotiating commercial terms for a deal that could come as early as next month's Dubai Air Show.
A380s, Dreamliners
Baumgartner declined to say whether the new plane, which still requires final approval from the Boeing board, could play a role at Etihad, which had 16 777-300ERs in its fleet as of July and three more due for delivery by the end of next year.
"Regarding the 777X, we don't disclose at the moment where we are with discussion with the manufacturers," he said. The larger of two planned variants, the -9X, has a list price of more than $340 million, based on a recent Deutsche Lufthansa AG order, Sterne, Agee & Leach Inc. analyst Peter Arment has said.
Etihad was operating 78 passenger and cargo jets in July, including 22 Airbus A330 wide-bodies and 12 A340s, and it has orders for 10 A380 superjumbos and 12 A350s -- a competitor to the 777 -- together with 41 smaller 787 Dreamliners from Boeing, with the fleet due to reach 159 planes by 2020. Emirates has about 200 aircraft and orders that would take the total to 400, excluding retirements, even before a purchase of the 777X.
Etihad Chief Executive Officer James Hogan said in August that the company is also exploring common procurement programs with the carriers in which it has minority stakes, and that coming aircraft orders could feature a "group deal."
India Hurdles
Etihad has holdings in Air Berlin Plc (AB1), Virgin Australia Holdings Ltd. (VAH), Aer Lingus Group Plc (AERL), Serbia's Jat Airways and Air Seychelles Ltd. The carriers together have a global fleet exceeding 500 aircraft, according to a slide Hogan showed at the CAPA Australia Pacific Aviation Summit in Sydney.
In India, Etihad faces a "couple of final regulatory hurdles" to securing the investment in Jet, the nation's biggest publicly traded airline, Baumgartner said, adding that there is "some more work to be done, but we are confident."
Asked whether his company will bid for a stake in Rome-based Alitalia SpA, where a share lockup is ending and partner Air France-KLM Group (AF) owns a 25 percent stake, he said that there is "nothing to comment on" at this stage, though Etihad remains open to new deals.
"We are certainly not closed for future partnerships if these partnerships make commercial sense," he said.

Source: BankBazaar.com - an online marketplace for your personal loan, home loan, car loan needs Equities are known to have given the best returns over longer term. Sensex has provided a return of 18% over last 20 years. Despite the availability of historical data, investors are still wary of equity investment. This is surprising considering investors pay premium for their insurance for 20 years without making any fuss. If they can do the same in case of equity or a good equity oriented mutual fund, their returns will make them rich. Just to use the same example of sensex returns, 18% growth over 20 years means 27 times returns. This means if investors were invested 1 lakhs 20 years back in sensex, the investment would have grown to 27 lakhs today.

SAN BERNARDINO -- A pretrial hearing for the former president of the Los Angeles Board of Public Works was continued until March.
Andrea Alarc?n, whose resignation from the high-ranking position took effect today, faces misdemeanor charges of drunken driving and child endangerment from a 2011 incident that happened off Highway 18 as she was traveling from Big Bear Lake.
Lawyers in the case were present for the hearing in a San Bernardino Superior courtroom, but Alarcon was not. Since the charges are both misdemeanors, it is not necessary for Alarcon to appear before a judge, defense attorney Michael Scafiddi said.
"There is no real purpose for her to be here," he said. "It makes for a further public spectacle."
Two days before New Year's Day 2011, Alarcon was driving south on Route 18 out of Big Bear Lake when she got a flat tire, causing her car to block traffic. A California Highway Patrol officer who stopped to assist Alarcon performed a field sobriety test. Alarcon blew at least a 0.15, according to court documents.
She had been travelling with her daughter.
Last week, Alarcon, 33, announced she would step down from her post as president of the Board of Public Works, following scrutiny from an incident in November when her 11-year-old daughter was found alone late at night at City Hall.
Alarcon was allegedly partying at a nearby hotel in downtown Los Angeles, according to sources.
When she eventually met up with her daughter at the Los Angeles police station, Alarc?n appeared intoxicated, officials said.
The attorney general is reviewing the incident and no charges have been filed yet, but the incident drew widespread attention, Scafiddi said.
The pretrial hearing for the San Bernardino County charges was continued to March 4.
Scafiddi said his client wants to resolve this case without a trial.
"She wants to get this behind her," he said.

Reviews for Balsamic Green Bean Salad
"Not very flavorful. I added bottled balsamic vinaigrette dressing and then it tasted fine, but I wouldn't eat it if I just stuck to the recipe."
"This recipe sounded fantastic to me, but even after refrigerating it overnight I still felt like there was something missing. It wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be."
"Sorry, this didn't do anything for us. It just didn't have much taste. It looks prettier than it tastes."
"Excellent, delicious recipe! Will make frequently."
"We tried it and liked it alot! Did not change a thing..."
"This recipe looks good but I love the recipe from the Morton salt website. It doesn't add all the extras and it is delicious .... it is called Greek Green Bean and Tomato salad. But I halve grape tomatoes instead of the plum tomatoes!!!"
"Really good dressing! I'll be using this dressing on lots of other salads too, I think!"
"This is a good, refreshing salad. I made 1/2 recipe with fresh green beans."
"I didn't have fresh stringbeans so used thawed frozen ones. Very tasty. Goat cheese would also taste good instead of the feta. Thanks for sharing."

U.S. eases Myanmar sanctions to boost NGO projects
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury on Tuesday relaxed sanctions on Myanmar to permit financial transactions to support certain humanitarian and development projects in the country as it moves ahead with democratic reforms after decades of military rule.
The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control issued a general license authorizing financial transactions for a range of not-for-profit projects and programs in areas such as good governance, health, education and sport.
"We are taking this step today to support a broader range of not-for-profit activity in Burma by private U.S. organizations and individuals to promote increased cooperation between the Burmese and the American people," a senior Treasury Department official said.
The Obama administration announced this month that it planned to gradually ease certain sanctions on Myanmar, steps that could eventually see bans lifted on U.S. companies investing in or offering financial services to the resource-rich Southeast Asian nation.
The move on sanctions follows a dramatic series of reforms in Myanmar, where Nobel Peace Prize laureate and pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi won a seat in a parliamentary by-election this month that yielded a landslide victory for her party.
"These (steps) were action for action in response to what we viewed as very positive parliamentary elections," State Department spokesman Mark Toner told a news briefing, adding that additional measures would be forthcoming.
The Treasury's announcement marked the first of a planned series of modest steps to unravel the complex web of U.S. sanctions that have contributed to the country's isolation and driven it closer to its powerful neighbor, China.
The United States has said it will name an ambassador to Myanmar after an absence of two decades, set up an office of the U.S. Agency for International Development there and support a regular U.N. Development Program operation in the country.
Future steps to ease sanctions could eventually open the door to U.S. investment in Myanmar's agriculture, tourism, telecommunications and banking sectors, U.S. officials say. Continued...

Until you've seen a professional quality monitor, such as the NEC MultiSync LCD3090WQXi we looked at recently, you have no idea what true image quality is and HP looks set to get in on the action with its new professional grade 24in LCD monitor. Titled the DreamColor (sic) LP2480ZX, HP highlighted its ongoing partnership with Dreamworks, makers of Shrek and upcoming family friendly flick Kung Fu Panda, and how it required the most colour accurate monitors possible when making its films.
This new monitor shouldn't disappoint, then. Boasting "innovative 30-bit LCD panel technology" and a Super IPS (S-IPS) panel, HP claims it will eliminate any hint of banding or contouring and ensure supreme colour accuracy. This is aided by 100 per cent coverage of the Adobe RGB colour space; a significant achievement given the NEC, which impressed us so much, managed "just" 97 per cent. For context, 100 per cent Adobe RGB amounts to 133 per cent of the inferior NTSC colour space.
Also featured in the LP2480ZX is "tear free" 50Hz/60Hz video playback, with a genuine black-to-white-to-black response time of 12ms and a grey-to-grey response time of 6ms. Connections include two DVI ports, HDMI 1.3, DisplayPort 1.1, Component, S-Video and Composite, while adjustment options are comprehensive. You can see a spec sheet below and if it's anything like as good as it looks on paper, and from our initial impressions it would seem so, this should be on the wish list of any production studio. As for pricing, we wouldn't care to guess but it would be safe to assume this will be expensive, so don't tell the bank manager and remember to claim back the VAT!

Date of Stay: March, 2013
I stayed here for two months with the monthly rate of $325 plus tax and electric which you pay a $75 deposit for. This is a newer park with only 30 sites. The owner is very nice and is willing to help with anything to make his guests more comfortable. The park is well kept and in my opinion a great value for the price. There is a beautiful common area on Pellicer Creek and all of the sites have fire rings which is a bonus. It is located right off Hwy.1 and there was some road noise during bike week, but otherwise it wasn't an issue. The park does not have a bath house which can be an issue if you are in a smaller unit. There is cable in the clubhouse but not at the sites and there is no internet however the area gets 4G coverage if you have a phone to tether or a hotspot. There are a mix of long term residents and vacationers here. Everyone was very friendly.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
I was only here for one night. The staff was friendly. The RV section is located in a separate area from the park models, and there were few people there. The facilities were clean, and there seemed to be lots to do. Most of the residents that I saw were retirees. The one thing I did notice was that the rates jump a tremendous amount in January.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
The staff at this park is very friendly. That said, this is not a resort type park. It consists of mostly permanent residents. Most of the residents are very personable with a few that seem to think they run the park. The river side of the park has more of a party atmosphere with music and campfires often late into the night. The other side of the park seems to shut down at about 8pm. My major issue here was with the price considering that there are very few amenities offered. There is wifi in the park, but it is spotty at best. All of the roads are dirt with plenty of potholes. It gets muddy when it rains and is dusty the rest of the time. They have put in new washers and dryers, but the washers are very small capacity. Many of the sewer hookups are old and not capped properly. Mine had a loose fitting top that allowed all the sewer gas to expel when I emptied my tanks. I had to let my trailer air out afterwards. I ate at the restaurant several times, and it was hit and miss as far as quality. I know that there are some size limits on what this park can accommodate. If you are coming with a larger motorhome, I would call ahead. I ended up leaving a couple of weeks early due to a family emergency, and I was surprised that the management didn't offer a credit of any kind considering the situation. My understanding from talking to some of the permanent residents is that the park has changed ownership and that since that time the prices have skyrocketed and the quality has declined. There are several other parks in the area that offer much more at the same price.

Work Ethic Camp
The Nebraska Correctional Center for Women (NCCW) is the only secure correctional facility for adult women in the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services. The facility houses maximum, medium and minimum custody inmates as well as court-ordered evaluators and safe keeper inmates from county jails. The current rated capacity is 275 beds. NCCW has been accredited by the American Correctional Association since 1981.
NCCW began operation in May 1920 through an act of the Nebraska Legislature establishing the "State Reformatory for Women." The original facility included a two-story farmhouse that was used as an inmate dormitory and later as the Superintendent's residence. Two additional three-story brick dormitory buildings were added in 1924 and 1926, both of which are still in use today as program areas. In 2004 the facility completed the first half of a $15 million capital construction project that included the addition of a 76-bed general population living unit, 48-bed residential substance abuse treatment unit, 15-bed segregation unit, 30-bed special needs unit, dining room and food preparation area, staff offices, central laundry, and new water tower. The second half of the construction project, completed in 2009, included the remodeling of several program areas, including medical services, administrative offices and education.
NCCW is the diagnostic and evaluation center for all newly committed female inmates. The first 30 days of the inmates' incarceration is in an Orientation program which is segregated from the general population. During this program, inmates receive medical and mental health evaluations and also learn about the various programming opportunities available to them during their term of incarceration. Each inmate has a personalized classification and programming plan developed to assist her in addressing personal deficiencies. Visiting during the 30-day orientation program is limited to one (1) visit by immediate family members only.
Security Levels: Minimum, medium and maximum security levels.

As if Lindsay Lohan didn't have enough problems contending with her father's meddling in her life, it appears she has other — bigger — probs to contend with. According to TMZ (who usually tends to get these things right more than they get them wrong), Linds is in a world of financial trubs … and she doesn't seem to have many viable options for getting herself out of that trouble. It is being reported that L. Lo had failed to pay 2 months of rent and was almost evicted before she had to pony up and shell out over $20,000 just to pay what she owed. Considering the fact that she was recently fired from her post as "Creative Director" at Emanuel Ungaro and doesn't appear to have any substantial work in her future, her inability to pay her rent on time seems like it could be a big problem. Is it possible that the once millionairess is now broke?
Lindsay Lohan is broke — so much so, she can't even pay her rent on time, sources tell TMZ. We've learned Lindsay was two months behind in rent and her landlord sent her a legal notice to pay or get out. Lindsay just paid her landlord $23,000 to become current. What's worse … Lindsay isn't pulling in any income and her prospects for work are almost non-existent because of substance abuse issues … according to our sources. In the few days since TMZ published the story that friends and professionals are deeply afraid for Lindsay, the situation has become even more dire. We're told there is still a strong feeling — even resignation — that Lindsay will die soon if she doesn't get help. There is deep frustration among the remaining people in Lindsay's world that her mom, Dina, is enabling her daughter by insisting Lindsay is fine. As for how Lindsay could possibly be in compliance with her alcohol education program — all she's required to do is go to the classes and refrain from driving. Drug and alcohol testing are not part of the drill. More evidence of Lindsay's situation: last night she went to Les Deux, where she once again fell — hard — on her way out of the club. After the crash, she got up, dusted herself off … and went to another nightclub.
And the hits just keep on comin'. In all honesty, I highly doubt that Lindsay is totally broke … right now … but I can see how the life she has been living will totally deplete her resources if she doesn't get new, lucrative work — soon. A few weeks ago, there was a report that Lindsay had teamed up with Christian Audigier to design a new line of purses for Ed Hardy … but she has since shot down those reports as false. As tacky as it would be to work for Ed Hardy, at least it would've been a pretty substantive paycheck. What really sucks is that there seems to be no one out there to really help her … her father just seems to want to use her public problems for his own PR gain and her mother appears to have her head buried in the sand, denying that her daughter has any problems at all. I fear that Lindsay's story may have a tragic end … which is so sad because she showed so much promise as a young actress. She definitely has the power to turn her life around … if she wants to. I hope, for her sake, she comes to that realization sooner rather than later … before it's too late.0

The Magic Egg and Other Stories HTML version
The Staying Power Of Sir Rohan
During the winter in which I reached my twenty fifth year I lived with my mother's
brother, Dr. Alfred Morris, in Warburton, a small country town, and I was there
beginning the practice of medicine. I had been graduated in the spring, and my uncle
earnestly advised me to come to him and act as his assistant, which advice, considering
the fact that he was an elderly man, and that I might hope to succeed him in his excellent
practice, was considered good advice by myself and my family.
At this time I practised very little, but learned a great deal, for as I often accompanied my
uncle on his professional visits, I could not have taken a better postgraduate course.
I had an invitation to spend the Christmas of that year with the Collingwoods, who had
opened their country house, about twelve miles from Warburton, for the entertainment of
a holiday house party. I had gladly accepted the invitation, and on the day before
Christmas I went to the livery stable in the village to hire a horse and sleigh for the trip.
At the stable I met Uncle Beamish, who had also come to hire a conveyance.
"Uncle Beamish," as he was generally called in the village, although I am sure he had no
nephews or nieces in the place, was an elderly man who had retired from some business, I
know not what, and was apparently quite able to live upon whatever income he had. He
was a good man, rather illiterate, but very shrewd. Generous in good works, I do not
think he was fond of giving away money, but his services were at the call of all who
needed them.
I liked Uncle Beamish very much, for he was not only a good story-teller, but he was
willing to listen to my stories, and when I found he wanted to hire a horse and sleigh to
go to the house of his married sister, with whom he intended to spend Christmas, and that
his sister lived on Upper Hill turnpike, on which road the Collingwood house was
situated, I proposed that we should hire a sleigh together.
"That will suit me," said Uncle Beamish. "There couldn't have been a better fit if I had
been measured for it. Less than half a mile after you turn into the turnpike, you pass my
sister's house. Then you can drop me and go on to the Collingwoods', which I should say
isn't more than three miles further."
The arrangement was made, a horse and sleigh ordered, and early in the afternoon we
started from Warburton.
The sleighing was good, but the same could not be said of the horse. He was a big roan,
powerful and steady, but entirely too deliberate in action. Uncle Beamish, however, was
quite satisfied with him.

American Standard
We had a furnace service company out to see why our upstairs is so warm and cold. We learned thet we have three supplies to the second floor and no return to the furnace and no way to make a return or a better supply. As our house is over 100 years old. We were told a damper system won't help like we will expect it to. And a mini split system would cost just as much as a new unit.
They have suggested to us a American Standard 2.0(24,000 btu) ton outdoor condenser unit and down-flow air handler high efficiency model. New high efficiency AMerican Standard 14 series two ton heat pump with R410. They will also install a new programable thermostat. Polymer pad (what's this?) electric disconnect and whip. New media filtration ( installers choice). New insulated flexible trunk and spider insulated flexible duct. Both round in shape.
They quoted 8500$ and then an additional 650$ for electrical cable capable of 10kw.
What gauge wire is this as I can buy and run the wire and let them hook it into the panel.
This would go into the attic. My current furnace is gas so I don't have to worry about that power just yet. The upstairs is a total of 1200 sqft with a 8.5 foot ceiling.
Its my understanding that American Standard is a goof furnace. My current furnace is a Tempstar 4 ton unit. With a Tempstar 4ton air conditioner unit.
They said it's way Oversized for the house. Were wanting to make sure this is a good furnace and what do we need to make sure of when choosing an installer.
Thank you!
Giving my more Scottish traits full license, have you considered asking someone else who doesn't have $9,000.00 worth of equipment to flog, what would be involved (carpentry) in getting a return air to the second floor? and of course..how much$$$.
American standard is as god as any other brand. Did they do a load calc.
A 6-2 copper would be needed for the 10KW.
They did not do a load Calc. He came in and said a 1200 sqft area will require a 2 ton system. He wont be the only quote i get.

Her website: www.marymooreauthor.com
Her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mmooreauthor
On Twitter: @sugarbean1020
Mary, thanks for joining us again. If you could be any character from another historical novel, who would it be and why?
Wow, that is a hard one! I guess I would love to be Margaret in Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South. She faces hardships, yet always looks for ways to help others less fortunate. She is forced into a new environment, and she does everything she can to become part of it, good and bad. She's in a wonderful love conflict that ends so beautifully. It's just such a great story, one of my favorites, and I would love to be that heroine!
Are you a full-time writer or do you hold a day job? What is the biggest challenge or obstacle you face in protecting your writing time?
As of January 1, 2013 I am a full-time writer…I hope! I was working part-time, but I made a deal with my husband if the writing income ever met the small amount I was bringing home part-time, that I would quit working. He is retired and has wanted me at home with him for a year or two now.
The biggest challenge, and therefore, obstacle is that I have never been a writer! I see that other authors block out a specific amount of time each day to writing, whether an hour or 5 hours. I'm in the learning stage and I have a tremendous amount of emails to read (for which I am grateful…it is usually other authors), I try to do blog interviews like this one every chance I get and I am in a group of Regency Christian writers who have a blog (www.regencyreflections.com) trying to get others into reading inspirational Regencies. By the time I have done all that, and deal with a house, a husband and all that involves, as well as an active church ministry, my one hour to write a day is gone! I need much more discipline, which I hope will come now that I am not working.
Congratulations on being home full-time now! I'm sure you'll get in the swing of things and find the perfect writing schedule that fits with everything else.
When starting a new project, do you tend to begin with a time period or event and create the characters to live it, or do you start with characters and then find their story?
Mine always start with the time period. I am a writer in the Regency genre. That is what I love to read and that is what I love to write. When the hero and heroine come to me and the idea of what their story will be, then I can research what I need to know comfortably, because it is a time period I love so much. It always starts with that.
What would you like readers to gain from reading your books?
Well, I write inspirational Regencies. Stories that are faith-based or God-based. When I wrote my first book, I had a specific message I wanted readers to come away with. But when we sent out samples to target readers and then asked them what message spoke to them, I got five different messages and none of them even mentioned the message I was trying to get across! At first I was bummed, but my agent pointed out that it must be speaking to each of them in a different way. So I have a basic message I integrate into my story, but I'm just hoping the reader will come away blessed somehow. And when they let me know….that is the greatest part!
What advice do you have for aspiring writers? Is there anything in particular you'd pass along to writers interested in working with Love Inspired like you do?
One of the great things about Love Inspired is that they will take an unsolicited manuscript, which means one that has not come through an agent. If a writer has really honed a story and wants to submit it to Love Inspired, they will look at it, and either tell you they want it, or give you feedback on what the book needs. That's a huge plus; most publishing houses will only take a manuscript that is presented to them by an agent. And you get feedback! That is what an aspiring writer needs the most. So write the best story you can, give it an inspirational message and submit it, LI is always looking for good writers.
Any final words?
I really appreciate the opportunity to visit with your readers. As an avid reader all of my life, I never once contacted an author and told them that I loved their book. I figured authors are too busy to care what I think. Now, I so appreciate it when someone contacts me through email or my website and lets me know what they think about my work, good and bad. So if you love something you've read today, email the author, write a review on Amazon.com and Goodreads.com, and pass the word along to friends and family. You have no idea about the inspiration that gives an author (or me at least) to keep writing.
God bless you all!
Blessings to you, too, Mary, and thanks so much for joining us at Novel PASTimes! We've enjoyed getting to know more about you and your writing.
Visitors, don't forget to answer Mary's question for you, so you can be entered in our drawing to win your own copy of Beauty in Disguise. Here it is:
Are you a fan of the Regency era? Why or why not?
It's a great question, and we're looking forward to your answers! Include your email (spelling out 'at' and 'dot' to help cut down on spam) with your answer. The drawing will be held Friday morning at approximately 8 a.m. EST.

I so want this thing!
I upgraded my now 3 year old Dell XPS 1730 to SSD a few months ago and I must say the results blew me out of the water. I went from sometimes minutes-long loading screens when changing zones in WoW to only a few seconds. From the time I turn my laptop on now until I'm at the Windows desktop is literally 25 seconds or less when it used to take several minutes of "churning away" to load files into memory. I would say the benefits of SSD might be even more striking on older equipment!
Waiting until these things get cheaper.. it's an awesome concept and all, but I'm not going to pay over a thousand dollars for an SSD that is equivalent in space to the hard drive I have currently. I can bare load times until then.
I don't want it, just cuz it says Intel D:
My machine is well over a year old at this point, but a login in dalaran with addons only takes about 20-25 seconds. Not sure what everyone else is doing wrong. I am certainly going to go with a SSD + a 10k RPM drive for my next rig, I just didn't have the finances when I made this one. Hopefully by next year a 256 will be down to $0.75-$1 per Gig
Keep in mind though that SSDs other than the ones based on DRAM have a limited number of writes, and certain activities like defragmenting can reduce that number. So if you are about to use a SSD drive, make sure you get a DRAM one, or, if using Windows earlier than 7, disable features like defragmenting and pagefile, which can shorten the life of the drive.
no need to "replace" your current HD, just set it as a secondary drive (d:) and have the SSD be the boot/windows/apps drive.
So, I'm building a new rig soon and I was thinking of putting 2 velociraptors in a raid 0 setup. Should I go for that or this new ssd drive? Anyone have any info on which might be faster?
There are also serious issues with life expectancy and DOAs. If you get one that lasts, they are amazing. However, do some reading on average life expectancy before you drop the cash. To be fair though, most have excellent warranty and will happily replace defective drives. Though the loss of data is a caveat.
Nice article. I am very technical and have been aware of these for quite a while. Cost and reliability are keeping me from trying these yet. I'll wait until they've been "road tested" and the price drops significantly.One factor that is not mentioned in either the article or the video is the HD controller.I can presume that Miyari's PC with the recent CPU has SATA III (6GB/s), but TheOnyx's probably has SATA I (1.5GB/s). No telling what Lore's PC is, but by his load time originally, I'm guessing his PC is about the same generation as mine so likely SATA II (3.0GB/s).What were the other item load time differences for TheOnyx's PC? By the WoW load it appears his experienced a more dramatic improvement.
Okay guys may I make a suggestion for the next free handouts contest you guys at wowhead are doing? Give a computer with a pair of these equipped.

let us reverse it......if Eli were out and Carr got us a hard fought win against a good team ,
would it not be your contention that the victory would have been easier with Eli.
Hoss was not S Young behind Montanna or A Rodgers behind #4.
he was Tebow gettin' lucky.
Phil had already won 10 games that year ...he was zoned , and would have kicked Buffalo's ice-bucket.

Having said that if you watch the replay of SB 25, he didn't play as well as some give him credit. He missed open receivers and was the beneficiary of a great running game and a great defensive game plan. He was far more a game manager in that SB than playmaker.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
I'll always appreciate Hoss for doing a good job.
The defense was crzy in SBXXV. Sometimes only putting 1 or 2 down men on the D Line. Belichek was the genius behind it.

Ok 1968 chevy 307 2 brl stock intake. Bouoght a rochester 2GV to replace the 2G that was on the truck. This one has the vacuum choke pulloff. I'm now trying to install the choke spring. Problem is that it looks like the choke spring will pull the choke opened when cold rather than vice versa. This is the choke spring that fits into the intake right to the left of the carb if looking from the front of the truck. Does the spring expand when hot? (I believe that it should) Or does it shrink. based on the instalation, it (choke spring) has an alignment pin on one side and a screw to secure it to the intake on the other, so it can't be installed wrong. Problem is that from looking at the way it would pull on the choke plate looks like it would pull the choke opened. Is it the rod that forces the choke to open, i mean is it the way the rod is bent that would force the choke to close when it's cold? It looks to me like it's wrong... can't see how it's going to close when cold and open when hot... The carb is a rebuilt Delco and the ear on the choke plate butterfly can only go on the way it is and 180 out due to a keyed shaft. It will certainly not work 180 out. I tried it way way off... any help would be greatly apperciated... Thanks!!!
soba: Man, I'd like to help you, but everytime I've had a 2-barrel come my way I toss it. Not because they are bad, but because I always run at least a 4-barrel. If I had one around for reference I would gladly help. John
John,I completely understand. Trust me there have been several times in the past month where tossin it is what I wanted to do. I went and put the manual choke back on it. Something to consider, because there are only about 1000 different comb's of chokes out there. Would it be something to consider to do an article or so on chokes for the Mag. I know that I'm not the only one that has had choke and choke adjustment problems. I know that many folks build some beautiful builds and drive them. If it looks good and runs good on a summer day but can't get out of the garage in the cooler days what good is it? You know what I'm saying, most folks can straighten out a body, paint redo and interior even build a bad motor. But then they bolt on a "horrible nightmare that they don't know anything about" the Carburetor. Something to consider. I'll still ask and still read the mag even if I only have a 2 barrel... Thanks... Enjoy,,,,Mark
There's a good chance of running a tech on chokes. It would include the other things that have to be right like heat butterflys and thermostats, fast-idle linkage, etc.Talk to you later,
I would certainly look forward to that as I'm sure that many others here would. Thanks!

text: It was a typical Christmas family gathering in Maine. Christmas Eve and the kids were outside playing, then the fun was shattered, by a shout."My cousin ( Julie Cerone) and I were sledding outside, then my grandmother comes outside screaming for help." Even that didn't trigger fear in then 13 year old Diana Tyutyunnyk. "Well I saw a little bit of smoke coming outside and so my first reaction maybe was she burned something or maybe there was like a small fire in the kitchen, nothing severe. And then when I came close to the house, the house was filled with black intoxicating smoke and I knew this was not a small fire. It would be something more."It was something more and Diana immediately went inside because she knew her two year old sister was somewhere behind that black, acrid smoke."I couldn't see anything, I couldn't, I could only hear my grandmother and my little sister Sophia," said Diana. "I got my sister out. I did not get my grandmother out. I just ran for my sister and then I ran down to the neighbor's house and I didn't get my grandmother."Nina was still trying to go back inside and grab personal belongings and mementos while Diana took off with her little sister to the neighbors house, where Jason Thurston had just returned home from the store minutes earlier."Jason opened the door and I told him call 9-1-1 cause their house is on fire and so they did and after that, Jason sprints towards the burning house," said Diana. "After that I don't know what happened."Jason went inside the burning house to make sure Diana's grandmother got out safely. He was credited by first responders and family for saving Nina's life."I just want to thank Jason for everything he did."The 2011 Red Cross Real Hero Award Winners are :Jason ThurstonDiana TyutyunnykJulie Cerone

Palo Alto Rated #8 Best City for Children to Live

The cities in the top 10 all give children opportunities to get a great education, live healthy lifestyles and engage in a multitude of activities with other kids.

Healthy lifestyle for children, perhaps, but not for teenagers, who are stressed-out and sleep-deprived from high school academics and resume-building. Teenagers are by definition, still children, but some Paly and Gunn teachers don't accept it and work them as if the are college students.

on May 28, 2014 at 9:42 am
Yes, it was great when the kids were little, but Paly was a nightmare, and that was mostly due to the teachers giving so much homework and such short deadlines that they had no recreation or downtime whatsoever. They actually found college to be easier than Paly!

I never understand why our schools give so much homework. The kids get college level work, but in college, you're usually done taking classes by noon.
I'd like to at least give the option of a choice program with less homework and more balance.

"numerous parks and libraries" - I wonder if they really examined the library situation in Palo Alto, if it still would have ranked 8.

Numerous parks and libraries - yes, and a library *how* overdue for reopening? Is this article a joke? [Portion removed.]

Whoever did this study to rank cities did not do their homework or research their topic very well. PA has become a nice place for billionaires, but for people with kids? Nah!
Once the kids are in school, their lives become hell.
The only reason we don't leave is that the IRS gets 25% of whatever profit we make on the sale of the house--leaving us with insufficient funds to buy down a mortgage elsewhere to where we have a very low payment to see us into retirement. and this is part of the cause of the local shortage of available homes for sale.

Agree with others, however, that the high school rigor is too much for a public school. These teachers should realize how their grading impacts the college careers of students. Many of the young, new, passionate teachers do not understand this because they are control freaks and feel the students are taking advantage of them if they give too many "A"s. Sometimes parents have to do the work for their children to get "A"s. Sometimes parents do the work for their children and DON'T get "A"s - that's how challenging it is with some teachers.

What kind of image is conjured up for you when you think about or hear about paella?
For me, there is paella valenciana (the traditional kind incorporating chicken, pork, shellfish and vegetables) and a vegetarian paella. I have made recipes which were a blurring of lines between paella and risotto. What are your favorite kinds and recipes?

Hi All-
I tried a recipe out of The good cook, James and Jellies over the weekend. It is a bitter orange, lemon and watermelon Jam. Actually its more like a marmalade. The recipe went together easily, but a curious thing happened while I was cooking it. The recipe said to add 3 cups of sugar for each 4 cups of fruit and simmer slowly for 1 hour. I did that but at the end of the hour, the consistency still seemed thin. My first though was to reduce it further. I pulled some out of the pot to taste and continued to reduce. I never did get to a really jelled consistency, however the taste started to change, it lost the fresh watermelon flavor and took on almost a "tea taste" like the sugars in the watermelon had carmelized. It doesnt taste bad but should I have taken another approach? I'm not familiar enough with sure gel to use it if its not called for in a recipe.
Any help would be appreciated. Its a beautiful jam, I would just like to maintain the fresh watermelon taste and have it thicker.

Hola egulleters! Those of you who know me know that I like to turn my hand at Charcuterie now and then. Nothing is more satisfying than breaking down a whole pig and turning it into delicious cured meats and sausages. I'm quite happy making a wide range of products but there's one thing that I just can't get right. Fresh Spanish cooking chorizo, in particular I want to try and recreate this wonderful stuff from Brindisa http://www.brindisa.com/store/fresh-chorizo-and-morcilla/all-fresh-chorizo-and-morcilla/brindisa-chorizo-picante/
They're wonderfully red, juicy and packed with deep pimenton flavour. Now when I make them I can get the flavour right but the texture is all wrong, very mealy, not at all juicy and the colour loses it's vibrancy too easily. What's the secret to them I wonder? Some kind of additive and/or food colouring?
My recipe sees me mincing 2.3 kg fatty pork shoulder through a fine die, mixing with 80g pimenton, 50g salt, 30g sugar, 35g fresh garlic and stuffing into sheep casings. Here's a photo of them:
I rest them overnight in the fridge before cooking with them. Maybe I should be putting some curing salt in there and hanging them for a couple of days? Does anyone have any experience making this kind of juicy fresh Spanish chorizo or even chistorra?

Customer Reviews
Frequently Asked Questions
What size storage unit do I need?
Hover over the different sizes under the 'Available Units' section for this facility to see what fits in each space. When choosing a size, remember to think about how you intend to use the unit. Are you trying to cram it as full as possible, or do you need some extra room inside? We always recommend leaving a pathway for easy access to items at the back of the unit.
How tall are storage units?
Storage units typically have a ceiling height of about eight feet. Special units like "storage lockers" are around five feet or less. Units for vehicle storage will have higher ceilings to accommodate RVs and boats. Call us if you need more help on choosing the best unit size for your car, boat, motorcycle or RV!
Do I need climate-controlled storage?
Climate control is crucial if you live in an extreme climate or a location prone to swings in temperature. Opt for climate control if you're storing items like leather furniture, antique woods, important documents, photos or electronics.
What are the minimum number of months I can rent?
Storage leases are typically month-to-month, so you are not obligated to a set rental length. However, many facilities offer promotions and discounts that require a minimum rental length in order to be redeemed (for example: First month free with two-month minimum). These terms will be detailed above.
Do I need a reservation or can I just walk in and rent a space?
Most facilities welcome walk-ins and don't require a reservation. However, because prices fluctuate often based on demand and availability, we recommend booking beforehand to secure the unit and price before it changes. By using SpareFoot you can compare units and prices near you and then book online or by phone for free.
What is climate control?
Climate control keeps your belongings safe from extreme temperatures and will protect your items from warping, melting and discoloring. Most facilities that offer climate control will maintain your unit between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
How wide are storage unit doors?
There are two types of storage unit doors:
- 1. Swing door: A standard room door.
- 2. Roll-up door: Rolls up just like the door on your garage.
What is 24-hour access?
This means you have the ability to access your storage unit whenever you need to—even when the office is closed.
Do storage units have electricity or electrical outlets?
Although electrical outlets are not common for most storage units, some facilities offer them as an amenity for select units. Storage units with electrical outlets will have "Electricity" listed under the "Features / Amenities" section of this page.

House in kidnap case demolished
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland house where three women were held captive and raped over a decade has been demolished.
The house was torn down as part of a plea deal that spared Ariel Castro a possible death sentence. He was sentenced last week to life in prison plus 1,000 years.
One of the women imprisoned there, Michelle Knight, showed up early Wednesday before the demolition began. She made a brief statement and released balloons into the air. It took about an hour and 20 minutes to tear down the house.

Lee DeWyze, Crystal Bowersox Team Up on Today Show
American Idol season nine winner Lee DeWyze and runner-up Crystal Bowersox had an early start Thursday, as the pair hit Rockefeller Plaza for an 8:30 a.m. performance on the Today Show.
"Hi everybody. Thanks for coming," said the painfully shy DeWyze before performing first single [U2's] "Beautiful Day."
"This is our first time in New York," DeWyze added, while Today Show guest Russell Brand hung out in the studio. "You guys are awesome."
Bowersox remained relatively mum throughout the morning - watching her fellow finalist perform before taking the stage for her Idol staple, Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee."
The pair then teamed up for an epic cover of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova's "Falling Slowly."
Check out snippets of all three of their performances, below.

Atlantic City Fist Pumps Through Final Coheed and Cambria Tour Date
Poison Ivy had such a killer time at Coheed and Cambria's headliner in Central Park Wednesday that we trekked it to Atlantic City's House of Blues Saturday to fist pump our way through CoCa's final night of their Circa Survive/Torche tour!
"This is the last day of the tour, so I wanted to say thank you to Circa Survive and Torche for coming out with us," singer Claudio Sanchez announced.
"It's been such a fucking pleasure," he added, citing "I always get weird in these moments."
Coheed then dived into a raging performance of "Made Out of Nothing," that instigated the 2,000-something fans in the room to fist pump (as evidenced in our performance video above, at the 00:13 mark).
Be sure to click below for an impromptu Coheed cameo during Circa's set that involves a couch and floorlamp.

Conan O'Brien Discusses NBC Split, Channels Inner Rock Star at Atlantic City Show
"I'm not allowed to appear on TV, radio, the internet [until September]," O'Brien told the audience during the midnight show at Atlantic City's Borgata Event Center Sunday night.
"The entire reason I walked away from The Tonight Show is because I refused to do a show at midnight... Am I an idiot or what?" he joked, referring to the night's midnight show time.
"Snooki's probably here," O'Brien added, noting the many men he saw with "sequined leopard sleeves" on their shirts in NJ.
O'Brien also channeled his inner rock star during the show - performing several musical numbers on electric guitar, including "I Will Survive" (which included a nod to his forthcoming TBS show) and a cover of The Band's "The Weight."
Joining O'Brien were the very funny Andy Richter, Dion Cole and a video montage from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
"Usually you have to be at a Dave Matthews Band concert to see this many white people," he barked.
Check out O'Brien performing "The Weight," along with a hugging sprawl in the audience, below.

Date of Stay: March, 2010
We arrived pre- bike week; pre- spring break. Love the layout of this park. A jungle within civilization. The roads are narrow, sand packed and picturesque- lovely for bike riding. The campsites are private. They do require considerable skill backing a rig in though- but worth it!! The restrooms were clean as were the showers. Unfortunately we had a party group next to us that was quite loud, had music blaring and an out of control campfire. Our fear was the dense vegetation and windy conditions. They were ushered out of the park before we woke the next morning. Staff was cleaning the site and drowning the remains of the fire when we emerge from our camper. The staff was excellent. There is a nice area and vendor for canoe / kayak rentals. We enjoyed Tomoka very, very much despite our neighbors and appreciate the action of the staff. Ormond and Daytona beaches are close by. Ormond beach also has special wheelchairs for taking your handicapped loved one down to the water's edge. There are some great restaurants nearby too. Our reservations are made for next year.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
This is an older campground. The campsites are quite close together but tolerable because of the shade and vegetation. The ground is damp; be prepared for some mud. The bathhouses are dated and need renovation.There are no sewer hookups which tends to force campers to use the facilities. The campground was full, and I think that the bathhouses were quite heavily used; therefore could use more frequent sanitation intervention. Additionally, because of it's location, be prepared for mosquitoes. That being said, I enjoyed the campground for it's proximity to Marco Island and the beaches there. The campground offers an array of activities and has, again dated, a nice screened in community room to house some of their events. There were oodles of kids in this campground and all seemed to be having a blast. The campground was peaceful and quiet at night. The staff was helpful, professional, and courteous. There was a photo of panther cubs on the office wall. I commented as to how beautiful they were; the ranger told me the whole story. He took the time to envelope me with the work done with the panthers: I was amazed at what they do!!
Date of Stay: March, 2010
We stayed one night at this very quiet, small, out of the way campground in March on our way to Florida. The bathhouse was dated but very clean. The campsites were far enough apart to enjoy and be somewhat private. The staff was professional, helpful and courteous.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
A very well organized, well managed, newly renovated park. The bathhouses are a model for any state park, and sparkling clean. Crews kept the grounds very clean and trash emptied. The sites are well planned, roomy and very level, but open and in the sun. For this reason, hats, awnings and sunblock are an absolute must. The campsites are neatly framed out with pseudo-timbers filled with fine white stone and ample parking. You are warned upon arrival not to place your tires on the grass. Do pay attention to the warning, they aren't kidding. There is plenty of room for a camper and a tent or screen house at each site.The camping area is relatively close to the highway but there is no traffic noise. The park is well secured and very quiet at night. The staff are very professional, helpful and courteous. Although we don't have small children, there was a lovely playground within the campground. Also covered pavilions are available. Hobe Sound Beach and the National Seashore are only a few miles from the campground: beautiful beaches. There are excellent restaurants within 10-15 miles of the park. We will return.
Date of Stay: November, 2009
I will judge all other campgrounds by this beautiful, organized and well run park. I cannot locate my receipt for the park but remember that the nightly fee was just a bit over $30 and so worth it. The staff were all amazing, the sites were clean and well organized, the roads were well paved and smooth, the views were lovely and captivating. We camped on the lake overlooking the lodge. The park is relaxing and serene. We are an older couple without children, but saw many children enjoying fishing and biking. Of special interest in the area, was the historic old state (mental) hospital in nearby Weston who's beginnings date to pre-Civil War. We will return to Stonewall again and again.
