Dealing with Electro-roll
ok so yesterday I played a sly who continously electro-rolled me, literally in the entire match he only did this and maybe clock very rarely to try and KC. Its dawned on me that I cant deal with electro-roll AT ALL, so with that in mind lets talk about how each character can deal with this monstrosity of a move.
Here is the hypothetical situation:
You are playing against a sly who does nothing but electro-roll.
He does it continously with no delay infront of you.
If you move away from him he will find you again and continue to do it.
You can only fight him to gain AP.
You are playing on a small single surface map.
Name a character and explain how he would win this match.
Check out my [Moveset Creation Guide] ,my [PSASBR Wishlist]
...and my Movesets!
Re: Dealing with Electro-roll
Re: Dealing with Electro-roll[ Edited ]
Characters with a mine: Use the mine to put in front of you. Make him go to the air more. If he whiffs in the air, he is more punishable than if he whiffs the move on the ground.
Characters with range: Out-zone him. He'll have to use other moves if he can't get to you. If you're a gun character, he will likely use his explosive barrel. When he does this, zone with an attack that breaks the barrel, not with one that will get reflected.
Otherwise: Air dodge and punish.
edit: One thing you should try to avoid is letting him connect on the ground at the very least. Jump a lot. If he connects in the air, it doesn't result in a hard knockdown (which tech-readers love to use as level 1 setups). Use air moves with higher priority than his. Drake's ledge fall comes to mind as does Sackboy's bouncepad.
Re: Dealing with Electro-roll
Sackboy: use his various traps to punish sly.
Any character with a counter: just use the counter, he will be ejected away from you (except maybe Kratos, his might just launch). Eventually they will be forced to either target someone else or to start a new strategy as you are getting AP from the counter and they are getting nothing.
Re: Dealing with Electro-roll
Do a counter into a combo for any countering character
Everyone else:
-Jak: Block then use your punch to close the gap
-Sackboy: Use your traps to trap Sly
-Sweet Tooth: Jump and throw down a mine, then shotgun him away
-PaRappa: Block, then mic-grab him back and combo
-Radec: Use your Down+Square to evade Sly. The grenade will open him up for a Side Square or other attack
-Big Daddy: Floor him with aerial Incinerate
S'all I got

Whatever you do, don't block it! It is not very punishable on block.

Park plans controlled burn
Great Smoky Mountains National Park fire management officials plan to conduct a series of controlled burns in the park starting as early as Thursday, February 20th. Planning is in place to burn approximately 400 acres of open field in Cades Cove and 280 acres of forest near the Top of the World Community on the park's northwest boundary in Blount County. Weather permitting burn operations may continue intermittently into April.
The selected fields in Cades Cove will be burned as part of a cost-effective strategy to prevent the open fields from being reclaimed by forest. These seasonal controlled burns help perpetuate native herbaceous species that provide high quality cover and foraging opportunities for a diversity of wildlife including deer, turkeys, and ground nesting birds.
"By conducting controlled burns, we are able to maintain the openness of the cove to preserve and maintain its historic character while also reducing non-native species," said Fire Management Officer Dave Loveland.
The loop road and historic structures will remain open to visitor use during the burns in Cades Cove, but brief delays and temporary closures of side roads and trails may occur to ensure public safety during burn operations. Park staff will be present to answer questions during operations at overlooks and parking areas.
Near Top of the World, the fire management crew will burn an area known as Lynn Hollow. This area has been impacted by pine bark beetles resulting in a high fuel load of dead and down woody materials. Using fire in a controlled burn will help to reduce the likelihood of an uncontrollable wildfire while helping to restore the yellow pine / hardwood forest ecosystem.
"The shortleaf-pine and oak forest surrounding Lynn Hollow are very unique. This site contains trees that are 200-400 years old, and that tell a story of the frequent fires that burned through the area prior to the creation of the park," said Fire Ecologist Rob Klien. "Without fire, these forests are now in decline and the species that depend on this habitat are being lost."
The area to be burned is bounded by Goldmine Trail, Cooper Road, Kingfisher Creek and Flats Road. Access to Goldmine Trail will be restricted during fire operations.
Visitors and residents should expect to see fire activity and smoke during controlled burn operations. Fire managers ask that motorists reduce speed in work zones, and refrain from stopping in the roadways. If smoke is present, keep your windows up and headlights on.
The use of prescribed fire in Great Smoky Mountains National Park is consistent with the Parks land and resource management plans. The policy of using fire as a land management tool helps decrease risks to life, property, and resources and perpetuates the natural resource values for which the park was founded.

The receivers of a company developing one of New Zealand's biggest, most intensive affordable housing estates say buyers pre-purchase deposits are secure.
Some 420 apartments and townhouses are planned for the Springpark estate on a 10.5ha site in Auckland's Mt Wellington and the first stage of the development is expected to be completed next year.
Springpark is seen as an affordable homes project, with townhouses in stage one priced from $399,000 to $554,000. Most of stage one has already sold.
One of the companies developing Springpark, Panama Road Developments, was put in receivership earlier this month by Crown Finance, said to be owed $2 million.
In a statement this morning, Panama Road receivers Steve Tietjens and Kevin Gillespie said all pre-purchase deposits paid for homes in stage one of the development were secure in a trust account.
Tietjens and Gillespie confirmed they had settled the purchase of land for stage one of the development.
"The receivers have worked to secure funding for the land purchase since their appointment on 30 April 2014. If funding had not been found by the agreed date (Monday 12th May), the vendor could have terminated the Sale Agreement and the site for the development would have been lost.
The receivers have engaged Bayleys Real Estate to manage a tender process to find a developer to complete the Springpark Development," Tietjens and Gillespie said.

text: I brought a 115 machine head to the Dec 5 N. California TOGA. I did not bring the treadle base and some folks wanted to see it. Here are pictures of the 5 drawer maple cabinet that the Tiffany/Gingerbread head came in it. I bought this in MN last year. (The other two Singer treadles I have are 7 drawer oak.) I do prefer the tighter grain on the maple cabinet over the oak. I've only used sewing machine oil on the cabinet so far although I have purchased products to improve its appearance. I haven't decided if I want to mess with it or not. I tend to prefer to leave things in their original condition and I sort of enjoy the battle scars of a well loved and used machine. The pictures aren't the best since the sun in streaming in right now. It is a nice treadling machine and I mostly use it to perforate freezer paper for paper piecing since it provides such great control.

Lyoto Machida, Jon Jones And The Politics of Turning Down Fights
WOW there sure are a lot of interesting words being written about this. :praise01:
From all of the reading I've done, I have compiled, categorized, and cross referenced a list of legitimate reasons a professional fighter would turn down a fight:
1. He thinks he will lose.
2 Attachment(s)
He doesn't think he can make weight in time.
Point taken, Machida sucks as much as Jones now, almost.
The difference is that JBJ already had a full camp. It would be stupid for Machida to accept his last chance at the title without training when he is already guaranteed the fight. If JBJ loses he would get a rematch right away. I wouldn't say the last occasion was the same as Jones either. In both cases he wasn't scheduled in the first place anyway.
I kind of feel bad for JBJ....he clearly wants to be liked and he is getting terrible advice from his camp. Is there no other alternative that could of helped JBJ avoid this PR disaster? This is all about people telling him he has to maintain this perfect record (DQ aside) so he can keep getting the big payday. For his sake I hope he doesn't go on a losing streak at any point because if that happens these people he is trusting to make his decisions will move on to the next big thing just like they did with Evans.
Was this written by Jon Jones PR?
i really give Machida more credit because he just came off of a fight. might as well blame every fighter for not fighting 6 times a year.
I don't blame Jones as much as most people, but it is fun seeing him get the same hate that Silva gets for his manager turning down imaginary fights.
full disclosure: huge machida fan, and i usually cheer against jones and i hate his brand.
I only hold Machida in a slightly higher light because there isn't anybody else depending on him for a paycheck the way the undercard fighters were counting on Jones to carry the card. That said his turning down the fight when he was asked to step up is far from admirable.
Different scenario with Machida.
Machida feels entitled to a full training camp because he earned a title shot. The repercussions of losing also played a big role in his decision not to take the fight on short notice. If he loses one more time to Jones he wont be getting a title shot for a long time.
Title shot entitlement + last title shot he'll get for a long time = reasonable not to take fight on short notice with champion
Jones is fighting Vitor, he could easily be booked against Hendo with a win and you know after Chael run through Forrest and runs his mouth he will jump to the front of the line. So we could easily be in mid 2013 by then and guys like Gusto and Glover are on the rise. Machida could easily be forced to fight and lose before he ever gets near another title shot. Especially when you consider that he was already not the UFC's favorite guy after the whole "Anderson Silva Money" thing and you have the fact that the champ already beat him and nobody is lining up to see or buy the rematch. Its easy to imagine a scenario where Machida just threw away his last chance at regaining the LHW title.
Machida turned down (and rightfully so) a fight at UFC 152 and not 151, there was nothing he could do to save that card.
The reporter is just being a dick and he probably knows it.
Haters gonna hate...

Flashing an existing ledgerboard
I'm in a Dryvit/fake-stucco townhouse and need to install flashing where the deck ledger board meets the house on the second level. I'm thinking I will remove the deck boards closest to the house, cut into the stucco above the ledger board and install, and seal around, flashing. Seems simple enough, but would love to hear from others.....is this all there is to the job? What kind of flashing is best?
The point of flashing is that the siding goes over the top of it to prevent water from getting behind the flashing and causing damage to the structure and the ledger. The act of only cutting the area is sort of self defeating.
To be successful you would need to install another "Z" flashing above the cut. You would slide the long leg of the flashing up and under the fake stucco providing the flashing install you need to keep water out of the section below. Then install the lower "Z" flashing and reinstall the cut fake stucco.
Would it work or be better to affix the flashing directly to my stucco wall above the ledger board (perhaps with tar) and stucco over it?
Sorry, but that will not work. Flashing is an integrated detail, it does not involve slathering of surface components.
In your opinion, what should I do?
Here's some information for you to review. Bear in mind that whether you are flashing for a roof into stucco, or a deck ledger board, the concept is the same. One difference is would pertain to the Pressure Treated Lumber.
If is older ACQ (Arsenic treated), then aluminum flashing will do. If it is new CQC (copper treated), then you need to use copper or stainless flashing, along with galvanized or stainless nails.

Rarely has the phrase 'must-win game' been so overused at such an early stage of the season as it has with Liverpool this term.
The Chelsea game was a 'must-win' following the defeat at Fiorentina, the Sunderland game was 'must-win' in order to recover from that loss at Stamford Bridge and the Lyon game was a 'must-win' as they looked to recover from defeat to a beach ball.
But now, finally, we do actually arrive at such a match for Liverpool.
Well, from their point of view, it's also a must-win game for Lyon.
Liverpool need to beat Debrecen this evening to stay in the Champions League, but if Fiorentina beat Lyon then it reduces the Group E match in Hungary to little more than a Europa League play-off.
The way Anfield Scouse-in-chief Jamie Carragher is talking, though, you'd think that was a good thing.
Carragher, who already had an air of resignation about him following the 1-1 draw with Lyon that put Liverpool five points off the pace, reckons that dropping into Europe's second competition would not be a disaster.
He said: "I think because we have done well in recent seasons other people outside the club tend to take it a little bit for granted that Liverpool will get into the knockout stages.
"But it isn't easy. Manchester United didn't make it through a few years ago and Barcelona have had a couple of setbacks this season and they aren't sure of making it. It shows how well we have done in the past."
As if that wasn't bad enough, now Ryan Babel has piped up to have a pop at Rafael Benitez and his management methods, and suggests he may leave in January if he doesn't play more often.
Babel has stayed in Liverpool to keep Fernando Torres company, but said in an interview: "In two-and-a-half years with Liverpool I have never started three matches in a row. I don't play a lot so I can't be happy and I can't cheer out loud.
"We have agreed to look at my situation during the winter. If there's no improvement then, I have to be honest; I want to play somewhere else."
Such comments will greatly hasten his exit from Anfield. Babel cannot expect to lay down a gauntlet to a coach as stubborn as Benitez and expect him to yield. Still, if he doesn't share Carragher's enthusiasm for the Europa League then perhaps that's best.
Debrecen coach Andras Herzceg added an extra bit of pressure by casting his side as the minnows ready for a vengeful mauling perfectly, saying that even a draw against Liverpool would be "the greatest result in the club's history".
The good news for Liverpool is that Fiorentina will be without Adrian Mutu and Stevan Jovetic will only start on the bench. The bad news is that Lyon look set to field Jean-Alain Boumsong.
- - -
Of course, it's not just Liverpool going into this evening's games with it all to do: reigning champions Barcelona host Jose Mourinho's Internazionale in Group F.
The reverse fixture back in September was one of the most anti-climactic borefests in recent memory, as both sides played well within themselves under the notion that they would pick up enough points elsewhere.
Well, here we are in the penultimate round of games and no side in the group that also includes Russian champions Rubin Kazan and Dynamo Kiev have won more than one match so far, and just two points separate leaders Inter and bottom Dynamo.
The time-zone anomaly that is Russian kick-offs means that, should Rubin win, Barca losing at the Nou Camp will put them out of the competition.
With both Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic uncertain of making the match, this is the one to follow if you want to see some real jeopardy.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "For f***'s sake the World Cup is in June. Is he on holiday until June 11? You cannot be serious. For me, the big season is with Arsenal, not at the World Cup. We do not pay players to go to the World Cup, we pay the players to do well for Arsenal" - Arsene Wenger impersonates both Gordon Ramsey and John McEnroe when badgered about whether Theo Walcott deserves a place at next year's World Cup.
FOREIGN VIEW: The searing desert heat of a Middle East summer will be no obstacle to Qatar hosting the 2022 World Cup finals, with the Gulf state considering the first all-indoor bid.
"It will be hot, but not too hot," the bid's CEO Hassan Al Thawadi said. "We are developing technology which will help with the June and July heat and conditions."
Temperatures can easily top 40 degrees during the period a World Cup would be staged. Al Thawadi would not be drawn on whether the technology meant a series of air-conditioned indoor stadiums but said an announcement would be made very soon.
Both the 2018 and 2022 World Cup host nations will be selected by FIFA in December 2010.
COMING UP: "Die Meister... Die Besten... Les Grandes Equipes... The CHAMPIOOOOOONS" - There will be 11 men wearing red shirts and one man wearing a goatee who won't be quite as excited as everyone else when that music pipes up this evening. Follow LIVE commentary of Debrecen v Liverpool, Arsenal v Standard Liege, Rangers v Stuttgart and every other Champions League clash tonight from 19:30, with Rubin Kazan doing their bit to eliminate Barcelona first against Dynamo Kiev at 17:30.
There is also a full programme of League One and League Two action, and you can keep up to date with that if you're not already at the ground.
As if all that wasn't enough then you can follow Andy Murray's match against Roger Federer in the ATP World Tour Final match from 20:45 too.

Hello...I'm in big trouble...My mommy probably hates me now... She didn't bring me to work yesterday and today... I was dancing and jumping in front of her waiting to be picked up and boarded into the car...but she didn't! She just patted my tiny head lightly and left!
Let's see...what have I done wrong? Oh my God! I know it now... Last tuesday...inside the car on the way back home I peed all over her! Peed quite a lot! But I couldn't help it. I tried to stop it. I even tried to jump out of the window but they wouldn't let me. Dad instructed mom to hold me tightly. But I couldn't help it any longer...I let go :( My mom was soaking wet, not to mention stinking of my pee.
I'm really sorry mommy! Please forgive me!
This happened a few weeks ago..i just remembered it now so i thought i might share it to you. Dogs living in condos...listen up!
I went again to my mom's condo unit...they converted it into an office. It was an ordinary day. We all went out the room...walked along the corridor (i was skipping...what can i do? I was excited. 3 hours of staring into walls!) and into the elevator (like we do everyday)...until wait I'm alone in the elevator! They didn't get in after all. They must have forgotten something and turned back! Mom! Dad! Didn't you notice me? OHmygosh...how do you turn this thing from moving...er...how do you make the doors open? Well it finally did...but not on the ground floor which opens up to the lobby where mommy and daddy came looking for me. I'm stuck in the second floor... I was so scared :( Until they finally found me! Whoopie! I'm safe again in my mom's hug!
So guys... don't just go riding elevators okay? :p
i woke up my mom early today...i jumped in her bed and cuddled her feet around 6a... she didn't mind it though. We ran up and down the stairs a few times... she even took me outside to visit the bigger dogs. It was so much fun... until i got accidentally locked inside her room alone! I was so scared, I scratched the door until mom's sister let me out. After that my luck was running out. She made me drink my vitamins...I hate meds! They're sticky in my throat! And it didn't end with that...she gave me a bath! "But mom! I just had a bath 2 days ago..." It turned out I'm coming with her to the office that's why she prepped me up. I enjoyed another corporate day! I'm so good at riding elevators, it's just like running up and down the stairs! Well...that's it for now...gotta work! :)

Prescribed Fire for a North Central Park and its Wild Life
A prescribed fire is one of the most cost effective tools land managers can use.
And today I spoke to one park manager in North Central Florida who took me into the smoke and up close to the flames.
The smell of smoke you might have smelled in north west Gainesville might have come from San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park.
The park and its wild life were just getting a dose of medicine, from a prescribed fire.
And just as the fire is called, it's prescribed and planned.
"A lot of our natural community are very much reliant on fire," said Randy Brown, the park manager. "A lot of animals are reliant on fire and without that hot medicine, a lot of the animals and a lot of the plants will move out of there."
A group of men and women from around the country who are attending the National Prescribed Fire Training Center in Tallahassee, have traveled across the southeast to do prescribed fires just like this one.
"Of course we are following a prescription," said Ed Christopher with the National Prescribed Fire Training. "We have a plan already in place and we are following that plan to make sure that what we are doing is going to be the best thing for the environment."
Fire is also used to reduce hazardous fuels like dry brush, fighting fire with fire.
"So if there is a wild fire in this unit that we are burning today, it's not going to burn as intensely and it'll be easier to contain and control," said Christopher.
A prescribed fire is completely controlled. The first line of defense the team uses is a perimeter of soil, that will stop the fire from spreading.
San Felasco's park manager says the most dangerous part of these fires is the smoke.
"Certainly you don't want to be in that smoke and of course the danger of smoke in the high way, I75 or any road," said Brown. "We take extra care that that smoke does not get onto the roads."
The team takes into consideration what direction the wind is moving and of course the weather that day.
If you see any smoke in your area but don't see any park service trucks near by call 911 or your local parks in case it isn't a planned fire.

Fellow doctors told her that she was one of the only physicians in the area who spoke Mandarin. Li-Li Hsiao, MD, PhD... Li-Li Hsiao, MD, PhD... "They don't feel comfortable seeing a physician because of the language barrier or because they believed they would self-treat with Chinese herbal medicine," said Dr. Hsiao, now Instructor at Harvard Medical School. "That's when I decided I needed to go into the community and reach out to those people instead of waiting for those people to come in." She proposed creating and directing an Asian Renal Clinic, which was subsequently approved by Brigham and Women's Hospital. Under the umbrella of this clinic, she created a community outreach program that provides free kidney disease screenings and health education to underserved communities. The program became known as the Kidney Disease Screening and Awareness Program (KDSAP), and it morphed from including student volunteers to becoming a completely student-run organization at Harvard. Dr. Hsiao serves as advisor. Since 2008, the program has enabled student volunteers to learn from nephrologists about the renal profession, while helping the community at the same time. We have been able to... Back to Top | Article Outline Working with the Community Members of KDSAP initially assess the community to see what the organization can do for residents. They then offer education to increase the overall awareness of chronic kidney disease (CKD). "Working with community leaders, nephrologists go into the community and give a talk about CKD and treatment options," Dr. Hsiao said. "Our KDSAP student volunteers also help develop a CKD brochure, which is translated into the language of the community. The brochure is used in the community and given out during the screening activity." The health screenings are provided monthly. In order to be qualified to perform renal screenings, students must attend training. "I created a program called Universal Precaution and Professionalism (UPP)," Dr. Hsiao said. "Every individual who wants to volunteer in KDSAP must attend UPP. This is an annual event, and every year we remind them and teach them the correct attitude and how to be a professional. "During this, we have an overall training session to train volunteers to be proficient in each station. We have a nephrologist teach them why each station is important. The volunteer is not just doing what they are doing; they understand why they are doing it." A biennial blood pressure training session was also created for students who want to work at that station at the community screenings. After each screening, a volunteer nephrologist chooses a topic of the day to discuss with students, who range from college participants to even high school volunteers getting a taste of community service and nephrology. "There are many areas where high school students can be involved," Dr. Hsiao said. "At the beginning, they only helped direct traffic, and gradually they were given more responsibilities. They are the most reliable volunteers. I'm very lucky and proud that I have a chance to work with these students." Since 2008, the program has grown rapidly, expanding beyond Boston. "Every time we go into the community, we average about 25 to 30 student volunteers," Dr. Hsiao said. "We have two local high schools involved—one in Brookline, MA, and the other in North Quincy, MA. We went to Toronto this past February because a group of University of Toronto students wanted to start this program at their university, and 45 students came out to be trained. We have expanded to New Jersey, and we work with medical students from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey." Back to Top | Article Outline 'Incredibly Invaluable' When bright college and high school students are provided with a chance to participate in hands-on renal-related community service and learn from current nephrologists, there is the potential to inspire these students to pursue the specialty later in their education. "There is no doubt about it; early exposure to students is very important and impactful," said Mitchell Rosner, MD, Professor of Medicine and Chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. "They get direct mentorship from people who are passionate about treating people with CKD, and that kind of mentorship is incredibly invaluable." The experience has m... Mark G. Parker, MD, Program Director of the Nephrology Fellowship Program at Maine Medical Center, agreed that the possible benefits are intriguing. "If we could involve college students directly with nephrologists not only as an entrée into the medical field in general but as a potential way of igniting interest in nephrology, that is great." Back to Top | Article Outline The Nephrology Workforce The past several years have seen a noticeable decline in the nephrology workforce that the field is working diligently to address. "It largely comes down to mentorship and exciting people at early stages," Dr. Parker said. "I think the more we have one-on-one opportunities with people who show a flicker of interest, the more that we can show them what the field in general is all about and why there are so many exciting reasons to get involved with the field." Dr. Parker is Chair of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Workforce Committee, which is in talks with Dr. Hsiao about potentially partnering in the future to support the organization's goals, Dr. Parker noted. The hope is that similar efforts can be used to influence the young generation of future doctors to pursue the specialty. The Kidney Disease S... Another possible force behind the workforce challenges is lifestyle concerns. "A nephrologist works very hard," said Beth Piraino, MD, Associate Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. "Medical students now are more balanced in their approach to life in general. Trainees look at these things. They look at work hours and on-call and factor that into their decision." The KDSAP program gives college students a chance to witness nephrology through the lens of an outpatient experience, setting it apart from the common nephrology elective during medical residency, which focuses much attention on inpatient treatment. "With inpatient nephrology, you are only seeing intensive care unit patients, many of whom are dying," Dr. Piraino said. "Some people like this type of care, but I certainly most prefer outpatient care. I would like to see a much more balanced view of nephrology." Back to Top | Article Outline The Student Experience In the Kidney Disease Screening and Awareness Program, the emphasis on mentorship and outpatient experience is key to shaping the student volunteers' view of nephrology. "KDSAP has allowed me to explore nephrology in more depth," said Eric Shieh, KDSAP cofounder and a second-year medical student at Harvard Medical School. "I knew very little about the kidney when I started with KDSAP, and volunteering at KDSAP's health screenings showed me firsthand how public awareness of kidney disease is lacking. I have become more passionate about educating people about the kidney." I was set on pursuin... Laura Polding, Secretary of the KDSAP Executive Board at Harvard, has had a similar experience. "My time with KDSAP has provided me with an exceptionally diverse array of experiences relating to nephrology and instilled in me an interest in this specialty that was not present when I first started," Ms. Polding said. "The experience has motivated a number of students to engage in kidney research and to think earnestly about pursuing the nephrology specialty in medical school and beyond." This knowledge and interest in the renal specialty has extended to high school students volunteering in KDSAP, like Jake Cohen, Copresident of the Brookline High School Chapter. "I have gained so much from this program," Mr. Cohen said. "Not only have I been trained to screen patients for CKD, but I have attained immense knowledge of the disease. I've had the privilege of learning information that I would not receive anywhere else." Mr. Shieh helped develop the health screening program in Boston, and he has been inspired by its progress. "It's been very rewarding to see KDSAP achieve its mission of bringing kidney disease to the forefront," Mr. Shieh said. "We have been able to catch disease early, recommend lifestyle changes, and refer patients to clinics that can provide the appropriate care." Ms. Polding, who is studying neurobiology and global health and health policy, with a language citation in Mandarin, recognizes the planning of screenings to be one of the challenges in the organization. "Community outreach volunteers research the unique characteristics and needs of a population prior to organizing a health talk and screening so that volunteers gain insight into how best to serve the members of the community," she said. "For example, in planning screenings on a community-by-community basis, we must ensure that we have a sufficient number of volunteer translators for each of the main languages in a given community in order to facilitate the accessibility of chronic kidney disease screenings for every individual interested in participating." Once the screenings start, the ardor of the students is palpable. "If you observe a CKD kidney health screening in progress, you'll witness that all of our volunteers—physicians, nurses, medical students, and college and high school students alike—exude a distinctive enthusiasm and spirit that is telling of our passion for making a positive impact in the health of underprivileged communities," Ms. Polding said. This excitement has inspired Mr. Cohen to rethink his plan for the future. "I was set on pursuing a career in business; however, my involvement with KDSAP has altered my perspective," Mr. Cohen said. "I have a newfound passion for science and medicine, and these new interests will undoubtedly influence my future profession." Dr. Hsiao considers herself lucky to not only help serve the community but also mentor and inspire students. "It's a privilege to work with this group of students," Dr. Hsiao said. "They are talented, courteous, and humble. They do this because they believe this is something they want to do, and they believe this is a good thing to do. This is every teacher's dream to be able to work with students like this."© 2012 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Music From The Movies, Saturday, March 10th at 8pm
27.5 Days in Peking…This weekend we'll begin part one of a two part series exploring Dimitri Tiomkin's score to 55 Days at Peking. This score came with some controversy as Tiomkin was not the first choice to score the film. And then there were the troubles with the leading actress, budgets, and directors (two were fired). But beneath all that is a musical score that absolutely soars with color and melody. The orchestrations are first class and the performance is outstanding. Tune in this Saturday at 8pm and again Sunday at 5pm to catch part one of 55 Days at Peking. Only on Classical 91.7.

Safety tips for grilling and campfires
By KEVIN H. STUNEK
Brainerd Fire Chief
Every year Americans look forward to summer vacations, family reunions, picnics and the Fourth of July.
Summertime, however, also brings fires and injuries due to outdoor cooking and recreational fires. Annually, there are almost 3,800 Americans injured by gas or charcoal grills fires.
Summertime should be a time of fun and making happy memories. Knowing a few safety tips and following safety instructions will help everyone have a safe summer. Avoid using soft wood, such as pine or cedar that will likely pop and throw sparks in a fire pit. Use of seasoned hardwood is suggested. Don't build a campfire at a site in hazardous, dry conditions or if the campground, area, or event rules prohibit campfires.
An estimated 5,700 grill fires occur on residential properties each year in the United States. Almost half (49 percent) of grill fires on residential properties occur from 5 to 8 p.m. Over half (57 percent) of grill fires on residential properties occur in the four months of May, June, July and August. Thirty two percent of grill fires on residential properties start on patios, terraces, screened-in- porches or courtyards.
Here are a few grill safety tips:
• Propane and charcoal barbecue grills must be used outdoors only. If used indoors, or in any enclosed spaces such as tents, they pose both a fire hazard and the risk of exposing occupants to toxic gases and potential asphyxiation.
• Position the grill well away from siding, deck railing and out from under leaves and overhanging branches.
• Place the grill a safe distance from lawn games, play areas and foot traffic.
• Keep children and pets from grill areas; declare a three-foot "safe zone" around the grill.
• Put out several long-handled grilling tools to give the chef plenty of clearance from heat and flames when cooking.
• Periodically remove grease and fat buildup in trays below the grill so it cannot be ignited by a hot grill.
Charcoal grills
• Purchase the proper starter fluid and store out of reach of children and away from heat sources.
• Never add charcoal lighter fluid when coals or kindling have already been ignited, and never use any flammable or combustible liquid other than charcoal starter fluid to get the fire going.
Propane grills
• Check the propane cylinder hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year. A light soap and water solution applied to the hose will reveal escaping propane quickly by releasing bubbles.
• If you have determined your grill has a gas leak by smelling or the soapy bubble test and there is no flame: Turn off the propane tank and grill; if the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again; and if the leak does not stop, call the local fire department or 911.
• If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department or 911. Do not attempt to move the grill.
Other fire safety tips are to include keeping grills at least 15 feet away from any structure and recreational fires a least 25 feet away from structures. Recreational fires must be in a approved fire ring of 3-feet in diameter. No burning of brush or garbage.
For more information on burning you can go to the City of Brainerd's webpage at www.ci.brainerd.mn.us and check all the burning regulations. You can also call our phone number at 828-2312.
In the last year, Brainerd Fire/Rescue has responded to many calls related to campfires, gas grills and illegal burning. The calls have ranged from a small deck fire to a full blown structure fire. We have had no injuries to date from any of these types of calls. If you have any questions regarding any of these issues you can always call the fire station. We are here to serve you in a safe manner 24 hours a day.
As I always say "Be safe out there."

DIY oil burner service?
Well, it's that time of year again. Debating whether or not to drop about $200 on a pro oil burner tech (a good guy whom I've used before), or learn how to do the routine maintenance myself. Nothing wrong with the boiler or burner, just want to clean it out, new filter, and whatever else is standard practice in annual maintenance.
Worth learning how to do myself? Easy enough? Or call the pro?
I have a lot of plumbing experience, but none working on my boiler.
Over the 20+ years that we had an oil fired boiler, I think that I had our heating and cooling company out mayber 3 or 4 times, to make sure that the boiler was operating safely, and to more-or-less just make sure that everything else was as it should be. As for routine maintenance, I changed the filter, removed, cleaned, adjusted as necessary, and reinstalled the gun and electrodes annually. Before each heating season, and once during the winter, typically over the holidays, I shut the furnace off, removed the covers, and carefully brushed out the soot from between all of the plates, as well as inside the firebox. It's certainly not a clean job. I had a small shop vac that I used just for that task, and after the time that the filter plugged, spreading soot all about the utility room, I was very careful about cleaning the vac filter when I was done with it, and rigged up a tube on the discharge side so that I could filter that through an old sock. I never minded doing it, and it did give me some piece of mind that I had some idea what to do if it went out in the middle of the night, but I don't know that I would recommend it to everyone.
Better to get it done by a Pro as long as he is experienced and does a smoke and combustion test/analysis. NO way to eyeball a flame and get it to burn efficiently. A proper tuneup will pay for itself in fuel savings and extend the life of the unit. If not, the oil companies will be happy to take your dollaros $$$.
I agree with Yuri.
I have been in the biz for 20yrs.. Have done some oil fired units, but not enough to be a pro at them..
I would let a Pro take care of it. Is you house or family worth less than the $200.00 it will cost to have it ready for the season???
I think that I remember that Beenthere had a post that; he watched as the fire dept was called out when the chimney was on fire cuz someone had pushed the reset one too many times...
Without combustion testing equipment you are pretty much wasting your time.
You can't tell the difference between a 4 smoke flame, and a trace smoke flame by eye.
You need the proper equipment to do it right.
A well set up burner, won't make a lot of soot in the furnace or boiler, which ever you have.
If you have soot build up by the middle of winter. The burner isn't set up right.
No disagreement with Yuri or any of the subsequent posters, which is the reason that I started off by mentioning that I did have the heating and cooling company out every several years, and closed by saying that I didn't know that I would recommend my approach to everyone. The points that they raised are very important, and are not to be overlooked. I am very careful when it comes to protecting myself and those around me, but having lived with oil heat for more than 5 decades, and being curious about how things worked at an early age, I felt comfortable with it. On the other hand, I now have propane, and because my knowledge is limited, I don't mess with it. Just a matter of where one's comfort level is. I should have added though that you should find a company that specializes in oil heat, because my experience has been that it is different, and a lot of companies either don't work on them, or are not proficient at them.

Staten Island, NY 10309
Adoption Hours: Noon to 7PM, 7 days a week

Please visit our Events page for information on off-site Adoption events! http://nycacc.org/Events.htm
Please visit our website for more information. http://nycacc.org/Adopt.htm
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Seems as if the Democrats are insistent that 17% of the US GDP must now be decided upon by a select few in the Senate...WITHOUT ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR DEBATE.
They are now poised to RAM this thru by by this coming Wednesday (via a process no ordinary citizen understands called "reconciliation"). You see, Wednesday is when Obama's 1st 100 days are over and the Dems want to make sure that implementing Nationalized Healthcare is one of O's checklist items.
Let's see...now where again has Nationalized Healthcare ever worked? Hmmm...well...nowhere. Ooops...I spoke too soon. According to the "highly respected and effective organization" called the UN, there are numerous examples where national health systems are effective (see url linked below):
Wow...let's benchmark our system to these above, since we know that it does not work in Canada, England, France, Sweden, Norway, nor anywhere else it has been attempted...including a few US States like Tennessee and Massachusetts and perhaps others.
Feel better that the Democrats are in control of so many aspects of our lives...since we as "individuals" are fully incapable?!

Damage from a fire that destroyed an 800-square-foot Quonset hut in Haiku Monday is estimated at $100,000.
The hut, located at 250 N. Honokala Road, and its contents, along with two vehicles parked next to the structure, were destroyed.
The building contained farming and shop equipment, Maui Fire Deparment spokesman Lee Mainaga said. The fire caused an estimated $85,000 damage to the contents, while the value of the building is estimated at $15,000.
The fire started while some welding was taking place, creating sparks that ignited nearby cardboard boxes at about 11:30 a.m., Mainaga said.
The fire also sparked a brush fire that burned about two acres between Waipio and Honokala roads.
No injuries were reported.

Color Coverage
January 4, 2013,
By Andrea Lillo
The new year kicks off in Atlanta for the rug industry, and color remains at the forefront as it continues in two directions: tonal, sophisticated neutrals and bold, vibrant hues. Manufacturers will also expand designer collections, debut new fibers and constructions and offer even more geometric and ethnic designs.
"We've got that color covered in our popular Genevieve Gorder line," said Tami Watras, vice-president, product and creative director, Capel, regarding emerald, "and based on the success of that program we plan to grow it with new, really cool interpretations in 2013."
At Momeni, color is always a focal point, said Ashley Alford, design and marketing associate, and for the upcoming markets the company is using jewel tones in the emerald family, including new designs in its handhooked polyester Geo collection. "We are also focusing on the importance of neutral color palettes with the accents of a bold color," she added. "Consumers will be seeing some interesting tonal rugs that can be brought into an existing room or give a customer a great base to start designing their room around."
Flatweaves are still a strong category, said Watras, due to their design versatility and price points. "We're doing really well with geometrics and modern looks that appeal to a trendier buyer and we get more and more requests for modern every day." On a recent trip to India she also saw prices coming down in "decent quality" tufted products. "It allows us to have a competitive edge by offering great style, color and design at compelling pricing."
Licensed designer collections will also grow this month in Atlanta. At Safavieh, designer Thomas O'Brien expands his collection with a new handknotted line made of hemp and jute yarns, which will retail for $800 for a 5-by-8. Thom Filicia has created a system of matching indoor and outdoor rugs for Safavieh, using handtufted wool and viscose for indoor use and recycled plastic bottles for the outdoor rug program; the collection is called Hanover Square and retails for $600 for a 5-by-8. The company's line with Martha Stewart will debut flatwoven wool dhurries for the first time, including Sequence, in three colorways.
Two of Nourison's licensed collections will expand in Atlanta. The Calvin Klein brand adds more constructions with a new sisal line called Kerala and a new flatweave line called Plateau. In the Calvin Klein Home collection, the Lunar line now has four additional colorways for a total of 12, and the Urban line has new styles and colors. Nourison's Joseph Abboud collection will now offer the new Griffith line, which recreates classic designs to suit today's cosmopolitan trends, including an updated houndstooth pattern and a new twist on a border rug, as well as the Mulholland line, a group of multidimensional, textural designs with tonal variations.
Shaw expands its handtufted offering with the introduction of World Market, a versatile collection of both traditional and contemporary styles. Constructions will include "heavy handed" wool to silks with cut and loop patterns showcasing handcarved details. The four initial groups include Craft, a textural group with a thick and nubby pile, Highlands, which has floral motifs ranging from traditional to casual contemporary; Indonesia, a group of ikat patterns; and Casablanca, a traditional line inspired by Persian antiquity for a heirloom feel.
"These lines are designed to provide a grand selection of beautiful patterns and impeccable quality at a great value," said Kim Barta, brand manager for Shaw Living.
Shaw will also debut its color-inspired Melrose collection, a 60-piece group that is both design-forward and value priced. Looks range from ancient Persian to American mid-century modern, and the line will feature Shaw's exclusive ombre dying technique for a handmade look.
Momeni will continue to build its accessories line, adding decorative pillows with coordinating poufs in the popular Lil Mo' line as well as in some of its top-selling rug designs.

Respiratory illness in agricultural workers
Linaker, C. and Smedley, J. (2002) Respiratory illness in agricultural workers Occupational Medicine, 52, (8), 451 - 459. (doi:10.1093/occmed/52.8.451).
Full text not available from this repository.
Respiratory diseases have long been recognized in association with work in farming. Overall, only a small proportion of the population is employed in agriculture, so respiratory disease in farmers is not a major public health issue. However, farmers are known to have high morbidity and mortality from certain respiratory diseases, as shown by routinely collected statistics. Despite this, knowledge of the frequency, nature and risk factors for some respiratory disorders in agricultural workers is incomplete. Multiple exposures are common and some exposures can give rise to more than one specific disease. Moreover, the most common respiratory symptoms reported by farm workers (wheeze, dyspnoea and cough) are relatively non-specific and can be associated with several occupational respiratory disorders. This review describes the main occupational respiratory illnesses in farming and summarizes the current literature about epidemiology and prevention. The most important diseases are rhinitis and asthma, which, although common, are not usually fatal. Some non-allergic conditions, e.g. asthma-like syndrome and organic toxic dust syndrome, are not yet fully understood, but appear to be common among farm workers. The most serious respiratory diseases are hypersensitivity pneumonitis and respiratory infections, but these are rare. Most importantly, respiratory diseases are preventable by controlling harmful exposures to organic dust, toxic gases and chemicals on farms through improvements in animal rearing techniques, ventilation of animal accommodation, careful drying and storage of animal feed-stuffs, crops and other products, and use of personal protective equipment.

Glossary of Terms
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD)
An implantable device that regulates the rate and rhythm of the heart, and implanted in patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac death due to recurrent, sustained ventricular fibrillation (abnormal heart rate). The ICD is implanted under the skin and are programmed to send an electrical shock when it detects that the heart's ventricles are pumping at a faster than normal rate. This shock restores the heart rate to normal.
Although initially designed to regulate ventricular fibrillation, its use has extended to include treating atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, bradycardia, and perform biventricular pacing in patients with congestive heart failure.

Riderless Horse Wins At Belmont [VIDEO]
I've heard of a horse with no name…but a horse with no jockey…that WINS?
It's rare, but it happens…and it did on Tuesday at Belmont Park. The horse, Downtown Hottie, finished first, but of course didn't win because there needs to be a human on that fillie for her to officially win. But she knows what she wants!
And THEN…It happened AGAIN at a different track!
Emancipated Horse Ditches Jockey, Wins Race At Belmont

After a new distributor raved about the wraps, I decided to try it. I was hesitant because quite frankly I know better and we all know the right way to lose is through diet and exercise. I read about it and it seemed harmless so I decided to try it. I was told I could leave it on for 10 hours but left it on for 2 hours. After 2 hours of having it on I became sick, extremely dehydrated and lethargic.
I was unable to stand, function and work. I drank so much water and drank pedilyte. 3 days of misery!! I am recovering now and still drinking plenty of fluids. This is dangerous and NOT worth it! Did I lose? Sure, 3 pounds from essentially having the flu! I then found reviews online of similar issues as mine which made me feel less scared. Girls, drink the water without the wrap!

When I was young, my perception was that a highly qualified woman should have a modern look! So during my teenage years, I copied all the silly pop ideas.
One of these ideas was that if I wear jeans, I would be more smart and pretty. My mother used to tell me to use Hijab, but I did not like it. The idea of modesty did not exactly click in my mind, like it did for my other friends.
I got really embarrassed, when I got a scarf as a gift! It was presented by my friend from Saudi Arabia!
Let me tell you, why I felt like this. Actually, I have beautiful, long, thick healthy hair, which would be hidden, if I would wear a scarf. Inspired by ads of various shampoos, I could not imagine doing so. Although my mother always persuaded me to cover myself, but being a young girl, my perception was totally different! I used to think that highly qualified ladies must have a modern look and obviously I dreamt to wear jeans as my casual dress, but my traditions didn't allow me.
My friend politely convinced me to use the scarf. I was impressed by her point that pollution and sun rays may damage my hair, so for the sake of protecting my hair, I started using that abstract printed scarf.
People's reaction surprised me! They appreciated me on covering my head. I myself felt confident, nicer and smarter. The mirror reflected the glow of my face. This excited me to continue wearing my scarf. Truly, it was my class fellows' and friends' positive reaction that motivated me in doing so.
One day, when I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop, some street guys started laughing at me. At that moment I realized that I became their target, because I didn't completely cover my body. My head scarf was not complementing my dress. I admit it was stylish and trendy, and was exposing my body. That dress was good for a party or private gathering, but not suitable for a public place. This realization made it easy for me to take the next decision.
As soon as I reached home, I asked my mom to buy an Abaya for me. It was a pleasure for her. We went to market to get it. There were a lot of different varieties of Abayas in the market. Being a young, fashion-conscious girl, I selected a stylish one. I noticed my mom was not satisfied by my choice, but she approved reluctantly.
From the very next day, I started to wear my black Abaya. It transformed my personality. Everybody looked at me with a pleasant smile. It gave me confidence and pride.
"Wow! Beautiful! Gorgeous!" remarks like these made me proud on my wise decision. It was people's response that mattered to me and enhanced my emotions towards my Abaya! This also made my daily life easy and simple, as I didn't need to worry about clothes to wear and saved my precious time to bother about them. Hence, I could use my time constructively.
But, as there was curiosity about this getup, questions raised by some people made me to do some research about the reasons, why I should cover. I started to think: am I doing it for the sake of tradition or fashion? Was it imposed by my family or did I do it for myself? Is there anything more to it than cultural or social pressure?
But, as there was curiosity about this getup, questions raised by some people made me to do some research about the reasons, why I should cover.
Some of them were really keen to know, while a few asked just to humiliate me, because I used to get confused in replying to them, which they enjoyed a lot. I got puzzled about their satire and sarcasm. I was hurt and decided to search thoroughly for the answers of the questions; I started to learn the reality and consulted the literature about it.
Obviously, reading the Quran with translation and explanation (Tafseer) was a must! It enhanced my thirst for more knowledge; hence, I joined a group to quench my thirst. This experience helped me to rectify myself as a proper Muslimah. Not only got answers to all my questions, but gained confidence and got rid of all confusion and inferiority complexes. It solved all my problems regarding public image/opinion about me. I have to please my Creator only. My fear about people's remarks and reaction faded. I became bold enough to face the people, carefree about public opinion and conscious of Allah's (swt) demand.
I read the Holy Book in detail for the first time in my life. That was my first experience of understanding the Quran properly. I managed to break through the shackles of pride, ego and learnt much more. I started feeling better day by day. Allah (swt) solved all my problems. Then, I started to do veil or Niqab. That was a big change in my life. I was feeling bold and confident day by day.
It was the best choice I ever made. For the first time in my life, I felt that I was a strong person. I did what I believed is right, and I did not care of what people think of it, or how they will look at me. First day of Hijab was the best. I had never felt so good in my entire life. Everyone discouraged me, saying that I won't be able to fight with myself for long. But with Allah's (swt) help, I am continuing till today. Everyone started to respect me. Hijab protected me everywhere and no one would look at me, as if I was a picture or a dummy. I believe that Allah (swt) demands Hijab to help us and to make our life easier. It builds respect between a man and woman. It also indicates that you are a Muslim.
Similar guidelines are also in other religions, for example, Jews wear a small cup on top of their heads, Christians wear a cross. And none of them feels ashamed to show it to public. No man would think badly about a woman, who is wearing Hijab, so that will provide her to fall in mistake or something that is Haram. A woman, who can wear Hijab, is strong enough to do anything in life. Everyone will trust you in everything, because you trust yourself. Allah (swt) made you (Ashraf ul Makhluqat), very precious and valuable.
It was the best choice I ever made. For the first time in my life, I felt that I was a strong person.
He guided me. The change in perception enabled me to think about my get up more critically! And I felt ashamed of my choices made in the past. They were horribly against the rule of the Quran about "…not to be noticed and respected".
This thought made me put off my ornamental Abaya and replace it by a simple, loose and dull colour Abaya. After putting it on, I stood in front of mirror and asked myself: "Is it to please Allah (swt)?" Surely, yes! My belief got stronger and firmer!
At present, I am a mature housewife and I laugh off my past. My then favourite activities seem foolish now. I am a happy and contented person, whose journey towards truth started with covering my head. Love to my scarf that gave me respect and purpose in life. Love to my friend, who had given me that scarf as a gift.
I am very grateful to Allah (swt) for letting me realize that when I covered my head, I took away from people any means for judging me other than my mind, soul and heart. When I covered my head, I took away the incentive for exploitation based on beauty. When I covered my head, I made people respect me, because they saw that I respected myself. When I covered my head, I finally opened my mind to the truth.

LG Electronics pursues its 21st century vision of becoming a true global digital leader who can make its customers worldwide happy through its innovative digital products and services. LG Electronics set its mid- and long-term vision anew to rank among the top 3 electronics, information, and telecommunication firms in the world by 2010. As such, they embrace the philosophy of "Great Company, Great People," whereby only great people can create a great company, and pursue two growth strategies involving "fast innovation" and "fast growth." Likewise, they seek to secure three core capabilities: product leadership, market leadership, and people-centered leadership.
The LG HVAC Advantage
LG HVAC systems offer a range of solutions that are cost efficient, quiet and attractive. They provide a smart alternative to both central HVAC and window-mounted air conditioners, and are available in a variety of configurations to suit different cooling and heating situations.
Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners
Ultra-quiet operation is the hallmark of LG's new line of PTAC products. Low decibel levels and an outstanding sound-prevention rating make this your best choice for a quiet environment. And with efficiency ratings up to 11.6 EER, these units are also your energy efficient choice.
Other features include standard connections for remote thermostat and front desk controls. Gold Fin technology protects the unit from corrosive effects of outside air and extends the operating life of PTAC models. And the industry standard size makes installation easy and economical.
How To Choose A Room Air Conditioner
Compared to large capacity central units, room air conditioners have several advantages. The initial cost of a room air conditioning unit is significantly lower than the cost of central air. Because room air conditioners are designed for cooling small spaces, operating costs are reduced. And, room air conditioners can provide personalized temperature and humidity controls that central systems cannot.
Calculating Cooling Capacity
Cooling capacity is the critical factor in properly selecting a room air conditioner. Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) and typical models will range in capacity from 5,000 BTUs to 28,500 BTUs.
Choosing an undersized unit will overwork the unit and it will not cool properly. Choosing an over-sized unit will cost more to buy and operate and it will not dehumidify properly.
We can help you to calculate capacity. Be prepared to provide specific information on:
Room Dimensions
A simple floor plan to show the location of doors and north-facing windows
The number of people it will serve
Sources of heat such as lamps, TV and appliances
An explanation of what's above the intended room
Your insulation provisions
Cooling Capacity by Room Size
Measure the length and width of the area to be cooled. Multiply the length by the width to determine square footage or square meters. Locate the room size in the chart below to select the appropriate BTUs. Then use the product information to select the unit for your room. When cooling rooms with uninsulated ceilings, great rooms, or southern or western sun exposures - step up to the next BTU size.
Air Conditioner Tips
Air flow - Keep air filters clean. Do not block air flow areas.
Roomside view - J-models feature concealed power cord storage, this eliminates excessive cord exposure when receptacle is located close to unit.
Wall Opening For RAB46/47/48 Cases
A finished opening of 26 1/8" x 15 3/4", clear of intrusions, is required. Keep clearance of 4" from side walls. Brick veneer or frame walls should have wood studding surrounding case to provide firm anchoring with screws. Case can be fastened directly to brick or block walls with screws sunk in lead expansion shields. NOTE: units should be caulked on all four sides of case to the building exterior to assure building integrity.

Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority, formerly the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission Vice-Chairman J. Paul Robinson, along with McDougall Gauley's Gordon Hamilton and FCAA Board Member Peter Carton, formerly the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission Vice-Chairman J. Paul Robinson, along with McDougall Gauley's Gordon Hamilton and FCAA Board Member Peter Carton will NEVER hand down a fair decision as this FCAA Hearing Panel has been bias, if not nearly corrupt against the Defendants since 2010.
Lets look at the facts:
a) in 2010 these three set down a hearing knowing zero disclosure and no witness list was turned over to the defendants.
b) the defendants asked and begged for full disclosure over 100 times in a 4 year period and still to this day did not get it. As a matter of fact, it was brought to this three man panel's attention that the FCAA directors (Ed Rodonets or Kenneth Edward Rodonets, Sandy Novak and Sonne Udemgba) committed criminal actions of perjury, destruciton of evidence, intentional withholding of evidence and attempting to obstruct justice. We are sure that this three man panel is debating on how to make this "criminal" action of the FCAA go away or be swept under the rug, before they would ever admit its existence. Even if they deny it, it will come out. This panel HAS to make an answer on the SOLID, undiseputable evidenec before them that proeves with out a doubt that FCAA Novak, FCAA rodonetns and FCAA udemgba all committed very serious criminla offenses, not just once, but over and over again, year after year, agaisnt the Defendants. This is what we believe it taking the time of the panel in their decision for one can try to sweep criminal actitiviyt udner the rug, that that would come back to bitem them hard at appeal.
c) these three panel members also asked the defendants doctor to break the law and illegally release medical information and files. The doctor did not comply.
d) the defendants asked for 33 defense witnesses, they got three for this panel--and only 2 took the stand before this panel shut down the hearing without letting the defense complete their full answer as guaranteed to them by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
e) the panel allowed Sonne Udemgba's and the FCAA's out-of-town guests to submit their testimony via video-conference, yet they would not allow the defense this same opportunity and told the defense that they would have to fly in and accomodate their out-of-town witnesses.
f) for preliminary motions, the defense had a pre-approved witness list which was approved boht by the government and the panel and when it came time to call a witness from this pre-approved list, the defense was denied this and not provided any reason, yet the opposing side got to call all of theirs
g) the panel made up false and fraudulent medical stories and scenarios about the defendant and then published and then chastised her in public about these made up fraudulent medical stories that they created
h) this panel may have illegally interfered in the defendants proceedings with the false and fraudulent stories they created
i) Gordon Hamilton made up a lie that the defendant attempted to directly contact Sue Barber, a senior law partner at McDougall Gauley, when this just did not happen. When Gordon was asked for proof of this made-up story he scolded the defendant and basically told her to get lost. he never did provide proof, and that is because this did not happen and Hamilton made it up for the Defendant has never in her life, attempted to contact Susan Barber, of McDougall Gauley, directly.
j) They denied the defendant her full answer to her defense. This three man panel pulled the plug midway through the defendant's defense and denied her to put her financial evidence on record so this panel is SOLELY making their decision on just ONE SIDE's (FCAA) completed testimony and evidence. Everyone should know this for when that "guilty" verdict gets handed down, you, as the public will know that the decision was based on just one's sides financial evidence being allowed on record. The Defendants was denied her full answer.
k) the defendant submitted solid proof that the FCAA directors and staff involved in the investigation and hearing committed serious criminal acts against the defendants, why do you think the rest of the Hearing was "closed off from the public"? When the govt was bashing the defendant, it was all open and public, but when the defendant presented the truth that exposed the corruption and criminal activity of all FCAA staff and directors involved in these proceedings, that is all "hush-hush" and I guess, not an important public matter like how defaming the defendant was.
l) this three man panel chose to conduct this hearing while the respondent was in the hospital, thereby missing her ability to cross examine JUST at that point in time and Hovern not all together. SO when the defendant returned back to the hearing upon medical specialists confirmiation, she immediately wanted the chance to cross examine many FCAA witness of which she was flat out denied and not given any legal grounds or basis for this denial for her to cross examine.
So everyone remember these points when you read the verdict that is being handed down. We speak the truth and this is just the beginning of what is to come.
NOTE: I am not a named party in these proceedings, nor am I an employee of the government. I have spent time with the Defendants, and a lot of it recently and reviewed, in detail, both side's evidence and exhibits so I speak with knowledge and can assure you that the Defendants were railroaded when it came to this FCAA investigation and Hearing. Novak is already gone and we believe that Rodonets and Udemgba should be soon gone if there is any sembelance of ethics in this FCAA division.

I'm going to buy a new pistol, but I'm 50/50 on which one. I'd like a little help deciding. Please vote, and give me a reason for your choice. Thanks!
i own neither of these but i did own a 40 cal s&w sigma which the m&p is based off of..... i hated it. ungodly heavy trigger pull. was luckly if i even hit the target at 15 yards. traded it in and got my 9mm tauras 917 which is now my carry gun for the few times i do carry.
go with the sig in my opinon.
Almost comparing apples to oranges. If you want a trouble free, ultra reliable, kick around, self defense battle pistol made with plastic go with the M&P. Don't get the Sigma models confused with the M&P models as there two different animals. If you want perhaps a more maintenance required, but much more eye pleasing steel 1911 style pistol go with the Sig. I do have to say that Sig is one of the nicest looking handguns I have ever seen. Wow.
If you have the $$$ for the Sig Scorpion, man get that and don't look back...
Any way you can rent versions close to each and try them out??
I have shot a variety of 1911's and two versions of M&P.
I like the M&P better because of lower recoil and comfort and safety.
Don't care for the 1911 type...less rounds in the gun, etc.
Hear a lot of talk about M&P;s at the IDPA....people love them.
But see if you can try them out or find some similar to try first.
Because it's a SIG 1911
Thanks guys. No more votes needed. It's been decided and he's getting the Sig tomorrow! Yay!

One day after being selected to the all-star team, Magglio Ordonez drove in three runs, all on a three-run homer in the first off Indians' starter Billy Traber. The White Sox scored their final run in the first on a sacrifice fly by Joe Crede.
The inning was started with a Graffanino double and a Rowand bunt-single. Frank Thomas, 0-5 in the game, struck out before the homer by Ordonez. Carlos Lee walked, advanced to third on a Konerko single, and scored on Crede's fly out.
Garland, who heading into the day had given up four or more earned runs just once in his previous six starts, followed that path through the first four innings, giving up one run. But then four hits and one walk in the fifth brought in three more runs, tying the game, 4-4.
Dave Sanders relieved Garland, throwing 1 1/3 scoreless innings. That was followed by two scoreless innings from Damaso Marte, who picked up the win, and a scoreless ninth by Tom Gordon, earning his third save of the season and 101st of his career.
In the eighth, Konerko led off with a single and was pinch-ran for by Willie Harris. Pinch-hitter Carl Everett was intentionally walked, and after a double-steal by Everett and Harris and strikeout by Miguel Olivo, Graffanino knocked out his fifth homer, putting the Sox on top 7-4.
The Sox finished the break with a 45-49 record and seven games behind the first place Kansas City Royals. The second-half will start up on Thursday with a four-game series against the Tigers. Bartolo Colon is scheduled to start.
