Oxnard mobile home park residents oppose expansion
A major modification plan to convert 16 visitor parking spaces and a part of an RV parking lot to three mobile home sites at the Oxnard Shores Mobile Home Park ran into resistance at a packed community workshop last week.
"Two mobile homes are proposed to be 1,620 square feet and one mobile home is proposed as 1,836 square feet," Oxnard Assistant Planner James Combs said.
The proposal would increase the number of units from 181, the number since the park's inception in 1971.
Michael Marlow, representing the owner of the mobile home park, Oxnard Shores Company LLC., said in an interview that the expansion has been considered since 2011. "We would like to make better use of available land within the park," he added.
Marlow said the mobile home park is in high demand because it's affordable and close to the beach. He noted that many residents "love where they live and feel they get a great value for their dollar."
However, not everyone was happy with the proposal. "This project will take away our guest parking and put our guests in the street, which is already very congested with traffic jams," park resident Tom Shaw said at the meeting.
Finding a parking spot on Mandalay Beach Road and Fifth Street can be challenging with beachgoers, surfers, fishermen, residents and visitors all competing for limited parking.
Homeowner Inez Tuttle said the city of Oxnard has not provided enough parking. She owns a condominium on Driftwood Street next to the mobile home park. "Driftwood is lined with cars every night," she said. "And the corner of Mandalay and Fifth is lined with cars every weekend."
Park resident Arlene Shatsky said she was surprised to hear about the plan. "When I purchased my manufactured home seven years ago, I was given a map of the park showing what parking would be available to our guests," she said. "There was never a disclosure showing this would change in the future."
The average age of residents in Oxnard Shores Mobile Home Parks is about 70.
Martin Goldman, 83, pointed out that many residents use walkers and wheelchairs. "The project will affect us when we go down to the clubhouse for social gatherings," he said. "If the event is very popular and front parking spaces fill up fast, I would have to park in the parking lot in back of the club house."
Oxnard Shores Mobile Home Park is known for having one of the most desirable beachfront locations among similar parks on the California coast. And homeowners are concerned about diminished property values.
"The biggest hit will be in the form of a lower value on our mobile home," Shaw said, noting a Realtor told him that losing the ocean view would reduce property values.
Homeowners Clint Sallee and Ken Rifkind, who both reside on Driftwood, said the project also would eliminate their ocean views. "We are going to fight this every step of the way," Sallee said.
The Oxnard Planning Commission will consider the issue at a Sept. 18 meeting. If approved, opponents can appeal to the Oxnard City Council within 10 working days.

text: Good morning, all. I am going to redo my A/C again after a few stupid moves on the last round. (I had two unused compressors to play with, so its not costing me too much.) Now the original compressor and the first one I used have what looks like another pressure switch directly on it. While the compressor I am about to install does has the orifice for it, it doesn't actually have a switch. My main question is, what is this particular switch, and is it necessary? I assume it is since the original had one. Second, how do remove from one compressor? Does it screw in, pull out, what? Since it has a plastic connector for the wiring pigtail I do not want to try too many things for fear of breaking it. Thanks in advance. ---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ---------- Okay, found it in another thread. Its the High Pressure Switch, and it pulls out. I have already done so. Thanks!

Remodel - order of operations
Hello, I just bought an old (1928) house in Arlington MA, and there's a lot of work to be done! I'd like some advice on the order that the projects should be done in. I plan to be in the house for at least 10 years, possibly for good.
1)The house is on oil, has steam radiators for heat, and no AC. I'd like to convert to gas and add central heat and AC, and the ducts necessary for that. Remove oil tank, boiler, steam pipes, radiators, baseboards.
2) It has a kitchen that will be taken down to the studs and built new, electric stove to be replaced with gas.
3) It has a great walkout basement that I'd like to finish someday, and add a half bath. I'd like a separate utility room vs having equipment currently centrally located.
4) The inspector pointed out that most of the copper and brass (yes brass) plumbing is at end of life and should be replaced. I'm thinking PEX for all supply lines
5) main drain stack is cast iron, visible rusting in basement, likely need large section replaced. It vents through the roof, attic section has large rusted out hole, needs replacement. Maybe replace all with PVC?
Basement insulation and framing is something I can do myself over time. Can I start that after ducts are in place? Or should that be done before?
I need a lot of plumbing work that will be done by a pro. Should bathroom framing be up, and should flooring be done before they can add a toilet and drain? I'm thinking 1" rigid foam over concrete, then tile.
Thanks in advance for advice!
Welcome Rekonn.....at least your off to a good start....you more or less know what you want to do....and you got your location in your profile....your doing better than most first time posters...we usually get a "How do I fix this" kind of question.
Pictures would help a lot....
Your list is long and involved. I'm assuming you plan to live in the house while all the work is being done. This will involve some logistics in having a usable bathroom and kitchen while you live there.
Personally...move in...get a fell for what needs to be done first. Obviously you want to do infrastructure stuff first....like plumbing....and during the summer...the heating...it really sucks to be without heat in the winter....
So post some pics and we can take it from there....we love helping you spend your money....
Here is a quick order.
Plans and permits
Foundation work if any needed
Framing (including windows and doors)
Rough Plumbing
Rough HVAC
Rough Electric
Concrete in basement or garage
Siding including gutters and downspouts
Finish carpentry and flooring
Finish plumbing, hvac, and electric
This should give you a general idea, not written in stone though.
How's the roof?
If it needs replacing I'd do that first.
Anything below the roof will be trashed if it's not in good shape.
Efficient windows, insulation pay for it's self over time.
Paraphrasing, your item list is...
Really, 1, 5, 4 can be worked on more or less at once. This is all HVAC and plumbing stuff. You could spend a year or more on just this.
I would do all of this first cuz you want a solid drain, water supply, and heat for the winters before you tackle things like bathrooms and kitchens. (how you gonna hook up the kitchen and baths w/o the water done first?)
2 (kitchen) is something you can probly live with.
3 (basement) should be done absolutely last. Given how much else you have to do, it could be 5 years before you get to this. You're gonna want your basement fully accessible for the other 4 items.
Other things will factor in here. Like how is your oven and dryer powered? Are they gas? If not are you converting them too? You want to stub out all your gas work in one shot. Whether you hook up to it now or in 2 years when you get around to the kitchen or laundry room is secondary.
Welcome to the Forum!
I'd start with the exterior and work my way in. Make sure you have a weather tight shell. Spring-Summer-Fall best time for exterior. Dawg has a good point and your heating system, Mass winters can be fun in case you're new to the area. You'll need a licensed plumber for your plumbing and heating system conversion and permits (at least they do in the South Coast area). Ask family and friends for recommendations and make a few appointments and bring them in to access your home.
if you are big time cooks then the kitchen would be a priority, if not get other things to your liking first. switching out electric to gas is not a big deal (need a licensed plumber or pipe fitter) for gas installation. (again at least in my area of Mass).
duct work located within conditioned space does not require insulation or leak testing, if in the unfinished basement it will require both. Finishing your basement is a nice winter project since you can't get out and work in the yard (except with your snow blower).
As other have stated I'd live in the house a few years to figure out what finished space you want in the basement. We're coming up on year 3 and am finally planning out what we want to do in the basement. You'll find out what activities are not easily accomplished in your existing living space. Insulation is easily doable on your part.
Check with your town and find out if they have adopted the Mass Stretch Energy Code, or if it is based upon the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code.
Here are links to code requirements, and the Board of Building Regulations and Standards for Mass:
2009 International Residential Code (basis for Mass Residential Code) http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic...2009/index.htm
Massachusetts Amendments (changes to the above code) you'll have to check both to know what is required http://www.mass.gov/eopss/consumer-p...tial-code.html
2009 International Energy Conservation Code http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic...2009_cover.htm
Mass Stretch Energy Code http://www.mass.gov/eopss/consumer-p...formation.html
Board of Building Regulations and Standards (people that make the rules) http://www.mass.gov/eopss/consumer-p.../csl/bbrs.html
Town of Alington Building Department/Inspectional Services http://www.town.arlington.ma.us/Publ...pections/index
Hope this helps! Good luck!
Awesome, that's a lot of feedback! I don't have time yet to go through and properly respond, just wanted to say thanks!
I would choose to use abs vs pvc for my drains.
Ok, got some time, pics were requested, here you go:
ddawg16 - I've been reading a lot of posts lately, found you can't get any useful info on hvac or insulation without knowing location, so I figured it would be good to put that in. Yup, I'll be living in the house while all work is being done.
sixeightten - thx!
joecaption - Inspector said roof was good, per sellers, it was put on in 2002. I'm happy I don't need to do anything with that that soon. For fun though, I am thinking of some remodels that would involve changing the roofline.
SquishyBall - makes a lot of sense, thx! Yes, the current (severly dated) kitchen is functional and we can live with it for a while. Oven and dryer are electric. I like the idea of putting all gas lines in place in one shot, then hookup when convenient. I definitely want a gas oven/range. Not sure if switch is worth it for dryer, but having the option would be nice.
GBrackins - I moved to Mass during the blizzard filled winter of 2010, when a local newspaper was comparing snowfall totals to Shaquille O'Neal's height (just joined the Celtics then). Baptism by ice, hehe.
I looked into gas conversion, National Grid confirmed my house can get it, but it might take 3 months!
Looks like my town has adopted the Mass Stretch Energy Code and it's in effect. That's a lot of reading material...
fixrite - why abs?
I did a radon test during the inspection period, and it came back with a result of 4.0 pCi/L. I bought a radon detector LINK, and it's been showing values between 7 and 8.1 the last 2 days. Is this something that should be addressed before everything else? If it's not safe in the basement, can't really get much done.
As a test, I moved the radon detector to the 2nd floor just to make sure I didn't get some defective unit that always showed a high level no matter what. It now shows a level of 1.2. So, definitely looks like there's a radon issue to solve. I've been doing some research, I think I like the idea of putting in an HRV system. The idea of fresh air being brought in and exhausting stale air continuously sounds good.
you could also contact your local Board of Health in regards to the Radon.

Worms from your ears?
This sounds a bit unbelievable, but this man from our town inherited a special skill from his dad to get worms to crawl out from ears.
Has anyone tried that?
From NST Online:
Ear comes the worm-buster
14 November 2011
HEALTH CONCERNS Tiny worms are found inside the ears of most people, and they are said to be the cause of ear irritation and toothache, among others
Tan Guan Seng, 44, has inherited a special skill from his late father, Kiang Toh, who passed away two years ago at the age of 70.
It is an ear therapy that uses irritating fumes to make worms to exit from the ears.
First-timers may find it hard to accept the fact that worms do exist in the head, especially those hiding and breeding inside the ears.
When they see the dead worms after a five-minute therapy session on each ear, they know that seeing is believing.
Tan advertises his traditional service by putting a simple sign with a description of the ear therapy and phone number on the rear dashboard of his car.
He operates from his home in Taman Bandar, Batu Pahat, unlike his late father who moved door-to- door in those days.
Worms can be found in the ears of most people. The difference is in the number, he says.
"There are fewer worms among vegetarians than those who consume meat, especially chicken."
Tan's record catch was about 100 worms from both ears, while the least was eight.
Tan uses six types of herbs soaked in coconut oil for at least two weeks before being used in his therapy.
A small piece of brick is heated over a gas stove before it is placed on a metal plate.
A tablespoonful of the mixture is placed on top of the hot brick to produce the fumes.
A metal cone is used to cover the heated herbs to capture the fumes and direct them to the apex of the cone which has a small opening.
A small ear plug is placed over the opening.
Tan then asks his clients to put their ears close to the ear plug to send the smoke into the ear.
Each ear is smoked for five minutes, by which time the worms would have fallen out.
Each worm measures about five millimetres long, with the longest ever recorded at seven millimetres, said Tan.
Tan added that those with toothache, stuffy nose and ear irritation can try the treatment.
However, he could not explain where the worms had come from and how they entered and bred inside the ear.
"I only know that my traditional method helps in forcing the worms out through the ears," he said.

European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
WHO "SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands" is an annual campaign that makes part of major global effort to support healthcare workers to improve hand hygiene practices in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, and thus support the prevention of healthcare-associated infections.
The first goal of this year's campaign is monitoring of and feedback on hand hygiene. Evaluation and repeated monitoring of a range of indicators reflecting hand hygiene infrastructures and practices, as well as healthcare workers' and senior managers' knowledge and perception of the problem of healthcare-associated infections and the importance of compliance with hand hygiene practices is a vital component of any successful hand hygiene campaign.
The second goal is to encourage patient participation in hand hygiene promotion. Patient participation is a powerful approach to achieving improvements in healthcare by building and strengthening a strong patient safety climate.

Kids Life Jacket Loaner Program
Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death for children and young adults. Even being a strong swimmer is no guarantee of safety; injury from boating accidents, hypothermia, and currents can all contribute to drowning. The best defense on the water is to wear a properly-fitted life jacket, also called a Personal Flotation Device (PFD), or life vest. These not only help you stay afloat, but they can also help keep you warmer in cold water. Life vests need to be Coast Guard approved, and need to be properly fitted for the wearer. Inflatable toys and "water wings" are NOT PFDs. While wearing a life jacket on a boat is required for children 12 and under, it's a good idea for everyone to wear a vest while boating. Kids learn by watching their parents, so it's important to set a good example.
The Palatine Fire Department, in cooperation with the
BOAT/US Foundation
Coast Guard
approved life jackets in a range of children's sizes for short-term loan at no cost, as part of the Foundation's "Life Jacket Loaner Program for Kids". We have life vests available to fit children up to 90 lbs with a chest size up to 29". Some basic information, including a driver's license number is all that's needed to check out a life jacket for up to two weeks. Remember to bring your child(ren) with you if possible to ensure they're properly fitted. If you only need a life jacket once or twice a year, this is a great alternative to purchasing a vest! For more information on the program, call the Fire Department at (847) 202-6340 regular business hours.
Click here
for a .pdf information sheet on the program. Life jackets are available at the following locations:
• Fire Station 82, 1475 N. Hicks Rd.
• Fire Station 83, 987 E. Palatine Rd.
• Fire Station 84, 220 W. Illinois Ave.
• Fire Station 85, 39 E. Colfax St.
Have fun this summer, and stay safe at the same time. Wear your life jacket on or around the water. Remember, "They float, you don't!"

Do you have an ideal partner sketched out in your head? Perhaps you have a shopping list of "must have" traits. If so, you are not alone. The most common characteristics people want in their partners include honesty, intelligence, sense of humor, stability, communication, and common hobbies and interests. Though men and women might seek similar traits in a partner, research has demonstrated that each gender focuses on different qualities. Men typically want a relationship that allows autonomy, while women look for a sense of connection.
To begin your quest to find the right partner, think about the traits and behaviors you prefer. Most people automatically think of superficial traits such as height or eye color. Though these traits may be important to you, other traits may also be more important when it comes to having a healthy, long-term relationship. Here is a list of some important qualities to consider:
Consider some flaws that can be fatal to a relationship. Your partner might have one or more of these traits and still be capable of having a relationship. According to Barbara DeAngelis, the following is a list of fatal flaws:
Next, turn the examination inwards. Ask yourself what is holding you back from having a loving relationship. Perhaps you are hurt from a previous break-up. Maybe you are afraid of commitment. Identify these issues and find ways to resolve them. In addition, examine your previous relationships and learn from them. What mistakes did you make? What aspects of a previous relationship would you want to develop in a future relationship? Finally, examine other factors that might affect your partner choice: cultural norms, expectations of male and female roles, religious background, and socioeconomic status. What are your core values that you are not willing to bend or change?
Once you are in a relationship, continue to examine your compatibility with your partner. Do not overlook compatibility issues in order to just "be in a relationship". In other words, do not ignore warning signs of potential problems. Other mistakes include making compromises, such as eliminating activities you like because they don't find them interesting, or reducing your communication with family members or friends your partner dislikes. Evaluate your core value systems and determine if they mesh with your partners. These values are important to you and if your partner and you do not share these values, then there may always be arguments about these.
You should not be hesitant to ask your partner questions. It is important to learn not only about your partner, but also about your partner's relationship with his or her family. Learning about their family will provide better insights about your partner. Here is a list of questions you could ask:
Overall, be patient. It is critical to know your own values, wants, and needs before you enter a relationship. Take your time getting to know your partner's personality, history, value systems, and ideals to evaluate whether this is a quality relationship.

Hairy Bittercress
Every spring I'm stumped by this small flower that blooms in lawns, fallow gardens and waste places. With four petals and alternate "divided" leaves I could tell it's in the Mustard family. When I keyed it out in Newcomb's Wildflower Guide I arrived at Pennsylvania bittercress (Cardamine pensylvanica*).
But that's not what it is. It grows too well in poor soil to be a plant known for preferring wet habitats, swamps and stream banks. I began to suspect it's an alien.
Based on that hunch I sent photos to friends. Mark Bowers answered that this is hairy bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta), native to Europe and Asia.
Like Pennsylvania bittercress, its young leaves can be used in salads and are said to taste like radishes.
(photo by Kate St. John)
* Not a typo, the person who classified Cardamine pensylvanica omitted the second 'n' in our state's name.

Careful pulling this plant when the seed pods are ripe….they explode with tiny seeds that can get in the eyes! Thanks for finding the info on this plant Kate!!!….I've been wondering what it is for around 8 years now…it seemed to just "suddenly" show up everywhere… kind of like garlic mustard…
# Nellie Curranon 14 Apr 2013 at 11:04 am
I too have been looking to find out the name of this very early weed that grows everywhere. Thank you Kate!
Yes, the exploding seed pods (characteristic of mustards) are what makes it so invasive. I'd been told it was PA bittercress, but perhaps this sudden apparition (greatly increasing over the past few years) is due to its alien identity…
# Kate St. Johnon 14 Apr 2013 at 8:32 pm
Maren, here's a video of the exploding seeds. Looks like it's hairy bittercress.
# Marcy Con 15 Apr 2013 at 12:40 am
I hate this plant and thought it was the PA Bittercress..sorry, I don't think I will try to eat it, esp since the deer and the rabbits don't…I have gotten seeds in my eyes from them exploding…so since it rained they are getting pulled As Fast As Possible before they seed and not put in the compost..
# Libby Strizzion 15 Apr 2013 at 11:39 am
I too hate this plant — when the seeds explode & go everywhere, I can just see more & more of the little plants growing. It is fairly new, isn't it — I never noticed it before 2 – 3 years ago. Does spraying help, rather than pulling the weeds? i.e. do they die, or will they still continue to spray the seeds?
# CarrolltonOhon 16 Apr 2013 at 10:23 pm
Just some of my observations….The seeds germinate in mid fall…pre-emergent control would need done at beginning of fall.
The plant does grow a rosette over winter…seems very happy with the cold.. but it "blends in" as the leaves are dark and flat against the ground…
By late winter the stalks that hold the flowers pop up in the first thaws and in two or three warm days they bloom…setting seedpods as the bloom stalk grows higher…
Spraying takes to long….I've tried it but they set seed before they die…
I did try vinegar on some…it burned them up 🙂 but they re-grew from the root… 🙁
# Libby Strizzion 18 Apr 2013 at 10:00 am
I'm glad you told me that, carrolltown OH. I spent a lot of time last spring spraying as many as I could of this pesky weed. This spring, I won[t wast my time. So — how to get rid of them?
# CarrolltonOhon 18 Apr 2013 at 10:15 pm
Libby…your welcome!…try a form of pre-emergent seed inhibiter…Check at a reputable garden center near you for help…
Get either the organic or chemical pre-emergent soon…but wait till fall starts before you put it on, because it will not be effective by fall…. if you put it on now…
Hand pull what you can, but bag them up! They are hardy plants and set seed pulled or not!

While Bruno Nuytten's 1988 film Camille Claudel attempted to encompass virtually all of the titular French sculptor's life, Bruno Dumont's Camille Claudel 1915's aim is much narrower. It focuses on what feels like just a couple of days in 1915 when Claudel, imprisoned at a mental institution close to Avignon, awaits her brother Paul's visit with the hopefulness of a hysteric who's about to meet her savior. While Nuytten's pseudo-epic structured itself around Claudel's relationship with Auguste Rodin, he's physically absent here—and all the more present for it, haunting Claudel's thoughts and pushing her from her precarious psychological balance to manifested "madness."
From the beginning, we realize Claudel's sanity is, however, the least compromised of all the asylum's inpatients. She mostly keeps to herself, irked by everyone else's loud acting out and occasionally sobbing. In a way, she's the big sister, asked to look after some of the less stable patients, and allowed to hang out in the kitchen since she's under the impression someone might poison her food. Not that much happens in Camille Claudel 1915 in terms of events, apart from Claudel's surely disappointing meeting with her brother (all he has to offer her is froideur), but the little bit that does happen is all in Juliette Binoche's face. This is, in fact, a film about the human face and how madness and sanity can be decided based on whether or not one's own face is in sync with everyone else's. Does one smile without the need of a joke, bounce their head back and forth when there's no music, or open their mouth long enough so that they drool? Do they weep without warning? Do they wear their emotions on their face, or do they call on the properly catalogued compartments where they've been properly stowed away when necessary?
Binoche's face, as we know, can tell a million stories in a simple and brief rearrangement of her facial muscles. It's this incredible skill, a quiet gut-wrenching facial theater, that sustains the film with its series of long takes seeped either in complete silence or in uninterrupted soliloquies—which sometimes feel televisual, though in a European manner. There's also the face of Claudel's doctor (Robert Leroy), etched deep in wrinkles and hermetic insensitivity to her pleas for freedom. As well as the face of the severely ill, repulsively frozen in a kind of emotional short-circuit. These are, ingeniously, sculpted faces much more than they are cinematic. If Rodin's face is missing, it's as though his hands were responsible for the gaucheness of the ones that have remained. In this sense, we still, from Nuytten's film until Dumont's, only look at Claudel as a satellite of Rodin, aimlessly circling around his absence in the hopes of feeling whole again.

Brutal Alvarez-Chandler bout rescues forgettable Bellator 106 card
Two fighters stepped into the Bellator cage on Saturday night as champions. Both walked out without their shiny brass-and-leather belts. That made the evening worth every penny, didn't it?
Oh, wait. The planned pay-per-view had been nixed. These fights from Long Beach, Calif., were on regular cable television. In that case, let's just say viewers got what they didn't pay for.
It sure took a while for any value to emerge from this fight card, though. Before lightweight champion Michael Chandler and former champ Eddie Alvarez went face to face in the main event -- the true main event, not the goofy Old Timers Day main event between Tito Ortiz and "Rampage" Jackson that CEO Bjorn Rebney & Co. tried to sell before Tito suffered a fractured neck and had to pull out -- it was looking like fans would be within their right to charge Bellator per view. You don't get these Saturday nights back. Someone has to pay.
Pat Curran basically fought a three-rounder when his bout was going five, with Daniel Straus taking advantage of the champ's lollygagging to grab possession of the featherweight strap. "King" Mo Lawal looked like "Peasant Mo" in a second loss to Emanuel Newton within nine months, as Newton won a lazy, sloppy unanimous decision to become interim light heavyweight champion. In all, there was a whole lot of nothing much, which begs the question: Would Tito vs. Rampage really have lowered the bar?
Well, there's no way the dusty, faded UFC castoffs would have outshined what should have been the main event all along, the second meeting between Chandler and Alvarez. Their first fight, two years ago, was a classic, with Chandler nearly finishing Alvarez in the first round, Alvarez nearly finishing Chandler in the third, then Chandler getting the fourth-round choke to become champ. Saturday night's bout wasn't quite as high-octane, but it was brutal meeting of two brave men.
Alvarez (25-3) is once again the owner of the Bellator belt, and that has to feel a little surreal to him. He'd been out of the cage for nearly 13 months, not because of injury but because of insult. His contract having expired, the 29-year old signed a deal with the UFC, but Bellator jumped in and invoked its contractual right to match. Alvarez didn't believe the terms had been matched. So off to court they went, fighter and promotion, and they still might all be sitting in suits if the parties hadn't reached an out-of-court agreement. Alvarez's current deal reportedly included a provision that would have freed him if he'd lost to Chandler.
That was a very real possibility, particularly in a brutal fourth round. Alvarez had won two of the first three sessions on two of the three judges' scorecards -- yes, it was that close -- and had bruised up the area below Chandler's left eye so badly that the cageside doctor came in to examine the champ's nearly closed eye. Apparently, that lit a fire. Chandler took Alvarez to the mat early in the fourth, after first landing a flying knee, and administered a beat down that at times looked like it might morph into a submission win. But Alvarez survived.
In the final round, which would prove decisive, Alvarez survived another Chandler submission attempt and turned the tables in the last two minutes, going for the same rear-naked choke he'd earlier had to fend off. By this time both fighters were bloody, their faces bloated from each other's relentless assaults. Chandler (12-1) was by far the more beaten fighter, and when the final horn sounded and the 27-year old went back to his corner, he could be heard asking, "Was it enough?"
It wasn't. But for Alvarez it was. At least that's how two out of the three people cageside with pencils and scorecards in front of them saw the fight.
Alvarez acknowledged that it could have been anyone's fight. "It takes two people to put a fight on like that," he said. "It ain't all in my hands. It's up to Mike, too. We did it together. That was fight of the year, guys."
Maybe. There's been a lot of competition for that status even within the last few weeks. Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson wasn't too shabby.
But there's no disputing that Alvarez vs. Chandler II saved this night and leaves us looking forward to another Bellator night: the one on which Alvarez vs. Chandler III is fought. Would you pay for that one?

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), newly appointed chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee has made a commitment to address poor DHS management. The departments dysfunctional management ... continues to hinder security operations and costs taxpayers billions of dollars in waste, he said.
Dysfunctional management specifically has occupied much of McCauls attention in recent months. On June 7, he introduced -- along with Reps. William Keating (D-Mass.) and Billy Long (R-Mo.) -- a bill, known as the DHS Accountability Act (HR 5913), to set up an independent panel to study the management structure of capabilities of DHS and submit to Congress recommendations to make management more effective and efficient. The panel also was to seek ways to streamline DHS practices and programs.
The House passed the bill by voice vote on Nov. 27 and sent it to the Senate, where it was referred to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The Senate committee never acted on the bill.
McCaul likely will use his increased power and visibility to focus even more on DHS management challenges as homeland security chairman in the 113th Congress.
He has called corruption, waste and abuse, and duplication of efforts at DHS symptomatic of deeply rooted flaws in the department\'s management.

Provide your existing decor with the addition of this contemporary table lamp and its stylish off-white oblong shade.More Details >
Add contemporary table lamps to your home for a striking look. Twin support arms, light pulls and finials lend the design a balanced, harmonious look. Polished steel with off-white oblong shade.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I have had this lamp for at least 15 YEARS and it looks as good as it did when I bought it. Don't hesitate to purchase this lamp for any reason you need light. I got it in the brushed steel way before it was a popular decorating choice and the finish has remained clean and scratch free. The shade has also held up well. I'd buy it all over again and I can't think of a better recommendation than that!
Bought 2 for my son's bedroom, it really lights up the room and it is very well made.
I bought a second lamp to make a pair for our nightstands (after breaking the second of our original glass-shaded lamps!)...and this shade is slightly over 16" across, while the first is 15". Not an earth-shattering problem, but I noticed it as soon as I assembled my new lamp. And they're 18 1/2" tall, not 20".
I bought these lamps to use on the set of the TV show LoneStar on Fox. They look fantastic in the conference room set!
Great item, price was unbelievable.
I put it on my piano to light one corner of my living room. It looks great and coordinates well with the other similar-styled lamps in the room.
Works well bedside, doesn't take up much space, good illumination
I bought two of these lamps for my bedroom, and they look great. The only draw back is the color of the shades, one is a different shade of white than the other.
I use this Lamp by the TV. for little light or alot.
I am using these lamps to illuminate dark corners - perfect. Very stylish and up to date looking without being too modern. Double bulbs and chains give this lamp lots of flexibility. Will be buying the floor lamp. Great price.
I purchased two of these lamps do go in my living room. We just remodeled the living room and these go great! I also purchased the matching floor lamp.
It was a nice looking lamp in the store but when we brought it home and put it in place the design was even more elegant and classy.
I currently use this lamp on a desk in my home office. It is great as task lighting but cannot be used as the primary light in a room. Two bulbs, individually controlled provide adequate directional light. Being able to adjust the height of the lamp would have been extremely useful.
The product suits my decor, very simple and it works!
Hi, I purchased two lamps, 1 for my daughter's office and one for my home. I love the style as does my daughter. It looks EXPENSIVE but the price was right. We both get many compliments on the fixture. Also, I spotted this lamp on a weekly television show, a title I can't remember, but its a female coroner.

This blog is by Jessica, a mom of five, one of whom has autism. This post was originally written on her blog Four Plus an Angel which you can read here.
Since the beginning of my life as an autism mom, I have been surrounded by versions of what people think autism is. Well-meaning onlookers have mentioned that my daughter doesn't count 5,000 items in 30 seconds like Rain Man or memorize the name of every US president like that one other person with autism they know. In the early days of her diagnosis, some questioned it so much that I questioned it myself, even though we were given the label by a nationally known autism expert who just happened to be a short car ride away.
But here is the thing, our autism is not their autism and it's not your autism either. There is a saying out there autism parents like to use because it is so very true:
If you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism. [tweet this].
In an effort to help other autism parents feel more comfortable embracing how their children's autism is very similar and very different from others, I wanted to share "our autism" with you and encourage other families to do the same. At the end of this post you can find a place to link up a post, new or old, explaining what autism looks like in your house. If you don't have a blog you can leave your experience in the comments. Maybe you will click around and find a few families who are just like yours and maybe you can find a few that are completely different. Either way, I hope opening up the conversation about what it's really like helps others to stop judging from the outside looking in.
Our autism is non-stop episodes of the Food Network and knowing every bus route within five miles.
It's visiting restaurants because Guy Fieri has been there and praying no one bumps into her plate.
It's shopping for the same things for the last ten birthdays and throwing out driver's ed advertisements.
It's getting excited when she's excited, but already planning ways to help her settle down.
It's explaining that there might not be enough room on my lap anymore and listening to the WHOLE yearbook read aloud for fun.
It's my heart exploding when she's playing a game with her siblings or being included by her peers.
But it's also things not quite made for pretty pictures, like explaining to a store clerk that no, I don't need security.
It's balancing (or not) the needs of everyone in our family and a massive amount of guilt for not being able to make it work.
It's phone calls, so many phone calls from school, and meetings, so many meetings about placements and goals and long term plans.
It's crying in cars and a heaping dose of helplessness.
And it's having no clue if I'm doing it right because every child is so very different and no one wrote a book about parenting this one.
Our autism is holding her hand and being happy for this moment that she is holding it back. Because we're both hanging on the best we can.

Brighton 3 Rovers 0
Clinical finishing and goalkeeping heroics told the story at the Amex Stadium as Rovers went down 3-0 on Saturday.
The visitors created chance after chance against Brighton & Hove Albion but were thwarted by an inspired goalkeeping display from Tomasz Kuszczak, whilst at the other end the home side converted almost all of their opportunities.
Not for the first time this season Rovers found themselves a goal behind from a soft goal.
Dickson Etuhu, back in action for the first time since last December, was barely on the pitch for five minutes when he gave away a clumsy 35th minute penalty which Ashley Barnes despatched from 12 yards.
Up until that point there had been little in the game, Jason Lowe saw a goalbound shot deflected wide, whilst Craig Conway stung the gloves of Jake Jean.
Rovers had two opportunities to level before half-time, Jordan Rhodes nodded Matt Kilgallon's cross just wide at the back post, before Tomasz Kuszczak tipped over a Tommy Spurr header.
The second half started with Rovers again on the attack but they just couldn't find a way past the Brighton stopper as he denied Josh King three times and Tom Cairney in quick succession.
Rovers were then hit with a sucker-punch of a second goal from the Seagulls as Jake Forster-Caskey arrived perfectly to head home Conway's cross on 56 minutes.
Bowyer's side responded in the right manner but they couldn't beat Kuszczak. The Polish international saving further efforts from King and Cairney.
When he was beaten the crossbar came to his rescue as Spurr thumped a header against the woodwork
But just like the second goal, Brighton scored when Rovers were the team to look the more likely to do so. Ashley Barnes adding his second of the game after Kean had denied Crofts.
Further chances came Rovers' way but when Kuszczak denied David Dunn with a fingertip save you knew it wasn't going to be the Lancashire club's day.
Gary Bowyer kept faith with the same starting eleven for the third consecutive match for the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Rovers welcomed Grant Hanley back from suspension, along with David Dunn and Dickson Etuhu from injury, as all three made the substitute's bench.
Ex-Rover Keith Andrews missed out on a match against his former club with a calf injury.
The game was slow to get going at the Amex Stadium, Rovers with the first chance of the game after 12 minutes as Alan Judge miscued a shot after good work from Tom Cairney and Josh King.
Cairney and King combined again seven minutes later as Jason Lowe was teed up to shoot but his goalbound effort came off Gordon Greer and flew inches wide.
The home side responded on the break, Craig Conway with a swerving shot on the angle that Jake Kean had to beat away.
On the half hour Rovers were forced into making an early change as Lee Williamson limped off. Dickson Etuhu was his replacement for his first appearance for the seniors since last December, although within minutes he'd have an undesired impact as he clumsily ran into Conway in the area to give away a soft penalty.
Striker Ashley Barnes stepped up and opened his account for the season with a shot into the corner of the goals as Jake Kean dived the other way.
Rovers responded in the right manner but couldn't get a deserved equaliser, from a Matt Kilgallon break the defender crossed for Jordan Rhodes but he nodded wide at the back post, before the last act of the first half saw a Cairney free-kick find the head of Tommy Spurr but Tomasz Kuszczak tipped the ball over the bar.
There were no changes as the second half got underway with a bursting run from Josh King. The Norwegian international getting the better of defender Bruno to cut inside and let fly but Kuszczak was equal to his efforts, diving to his right to save low down.
Jake Forster-Caskey was then just wide with a 25-yard free-kick, namesake Kean scrambling across his area to watch the ball go the other side of the post.
On 52 minutes King escaped the clutches of the Brighton defence once more but again Kuszczak saved well. A minute later the Brighton goalkeeper was called upon to make third save in as many minutes as King found Tom Cairney. The former Manchester United 'keeper pushing Cairney's effort aside.
But for all their pressure it was Brighton who grabbed the all-important second goal on 56 minutes. Craig Conway found too much space on the left and his centre was met perfectly by the fast arriving Forster-Caskey and he headed firmly into the back of the net.
It was Brighton's first goal against Rovers from open play in their last three meetings.
Despite being two-goals down Rovers continued to look for a way back into the game. Matthew Upson almost sliced Todd Kane's centre into his own net before Josh King struck goalwards once more but Kuszczak again saved well.
David Dunn made his return to action on 63 minutes, replacing Alan Judge. Almost immediately he looked to have been caught in the area under the challenge from a fellow sub Liam Bridcutt, but referee Andy D'Urso was unmoved.
Rovers continued with their patient build-up, seeing plenty of the ball and they really should have reduced the scoreline on 69 minutes when following a David Dunn shot that deflected for a corner, Tommy Spurr headed the kick against the crossbar.
Polish international Kuszczak continued to thwart Rovers, flying to his right to deny Tom Cairney for yet another save.
But just as Rovers looked the more likely when Brighton added a second, the same happened once more as the home side added a third.
Kean saved well to deny Forster-Caskey but from the resulting corner Crofts saw a shot saved by Barnes was there to gleefully snap up the rebound.
Again Rovers came back but again they were denied, David Dunn the latest player to be thwarted by the antics of Kuszczak who made a fingertip save.
The last chance of the game again fell to Rovers, but from Cairney's delivery Etuhu nodded wide at the back post.
Rovers had created enough chances to win a hatful of matches, their opponents grateful for the inspired performance from Kuszczak.

The Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills are both coming off emotional wins, but after digging deeper it's clear that one holds more value than the other. Let's take a closer look at why the Bills will come out on top in this Week 7 match-up.
Back in the offseason, and again in the look-ahead line, Vegas pegged the Bills as 3.5 point favorites in this matchup. I'm not entirely sure what people saw in Week 6 to think this game should be moved to three, but that's what it re-opened at on Sunday night. Some early action has come in on Buffalo and right now you have to pay a bit extra juice to lay the field goal. At the same time, that three won't be available if more money continues to pour on the home team.
Optimism in Tennessee?
If I'm making an argument for the Titans, I point to the inspired upset over the Steelers, the extra time to prepare, and the general underachieving of the Bills.
Yet, a closer look at the Titans win last Thursday reveals a deceiving picture. A variety of things fell their way and the Steelers were severely banged up. We've seen a fair share of underdogs rise up in critical situations to defy the odds this year, and Tennessee was no exception.
The Titans will not have any sort of "situational advantage" in their tilt with the Bills.
Lesser of Two Evils
There's simply no way to spin this - the Bills defense has been atrocious this year. I can't possibly sit here and make a logical case for them to stop the Titans. They haven't been able to get off the field on third down, they can't keep people out of the end zone, and they rarely win the turnover battle.
The good news is they get to face an equally inept offense. Matt Hasselbeck is serviceable and far less erratic than Jake Locker, but by no means is he about to set the league on fire and force defenses to game-plan for him, either. He does have Kenny Britt back, so that helps. He also has the benefit of playing behind a better-than-average offensive line. Even Chris Johnson came close to the 100 yard mark last week.
However, the stark reality here is that the Titans just don't strike fear into anybody. The Bills might be underachieving on defense, but they still have the personnel to put up a competitive fight against average offenses.
Offense vs Defense: Advantage Bills
I'll be the first to say I'm not a fan of Ryan Fitzpatrick. It's safe to say that he is just not going to reach the expectations his contract placed on him. Buffalo's turnover differential isn't as bad as the Titans, but they do have more interceptions than fumbles at this point. Some of that can be attributed to tough competition and coming from behind, but a fair share of that is on Fitzpatrick as well.
The reason I like the Bills in this spot is because of what we've seen unfold all year. The Titans took a big risk in letting Cortland Finnegan go, and it's been their Archilles heel all season. Even in the win last week, they allowed Big Ben to put up monster numbers in the air.
The Titans have also been susceptible on the ground because they don't have any defensive standouts anywhere in their starting roster. With a healthier C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson in the backfield, Fitzpatrick should be able to play within his skill-set. They are also in little danger of playing from a massive deficit.
Both of these teams have been bad this year, but Buffalo have made some respectable gains with their offense. They rank near the middle of the road in third down conversions and above-average in red zone efficiency. The running game is the key advantage, and it should open enough opportunities for Scott Chandler and Stevie Johnson in the air.
Bottom Line
As poor as Buffalo has been this year, I'm not about to rank them even with Tennessee at this point. They very easily could have rolled over in Arizona last week, but they stepped up and proved they still have a competitive backbone. Of course the same could be argued for the Titans, but let's see how they do when they aren't on national TV in a favorable scheduling spot.

|Effect of electrostatics techniques on the estimation of thermal conductivity via equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation: application to methane hydrate
|N.J. English, 2008
|Equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for three system sizes of fully occupied methane hydrate have been performed at around 265 K to estimate the thermal conductivity using the Ewald, Lekner, reaction field, shifted-force and undamped Fennell-Gezelter methods. The TIP4P water model was used in conjunction with a fully atomistic methane potential with which it had been parameterized from quantum simulation. The thermal conductivity was evaluated by integration of the heat flux autocorrelation function (ACF) derived from the Green-Kubo formalism; this approach vas validated by estimation of the average phonon mean free path. The thermal conductivities predicted by non-periodic techniques were in reasonable agreement with the experimental results of 0.62 and 0.68 W/m K, although it was found that the estimates by the non-periodic techniques were up to 25% larger than those of Lekner and Ewald estimates, particularly for larger systems. The results for the Lekner method exhibited the least variation with respect to system size. A decomposition of the heat flux vector into its respective contributions revealed the importance of electrostatic interactions, and how different electrostatic treatments affect the contribution to the thermal conductivity.

Literary Chamber.
Coming to Gavrillac on a November morning, laden with news of the
political storms which were then gathering over Franc e, Philippe
found in that sleepy Breton village matter to quicken his already
lively indignation. A peasant of Gavrillac, named Mabey, had been
shot dead that morning in the woods of Meupont, across t he river,
by a gamekeeper of the Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr. The unfortunate
fellow had been caught in the act of taking a pheasant from a snare,
and the gamekeeper had acted under explicit orders from his master.
Infuriated by an act of tyranny so absolute and merciless, M. de
Vilmorin proposed to lay the matter before M. de Kercadiou. Mabey
was a vassal of Gavrillac, and Vilmorin hoped to move the Lord of
Gavrillac to demand at least some measure of reparation for the
widow and the three orphans which that brutal deed had made.
But because Andre-Louis was Philippe's dearest friend - indeed, his
almost brother - the young seminarist sought him out in the first
instance. He found him at breakfast alone in the long, low-ceilinged,
white-panelled dining-room at Rabouillet's - the only home that
Andre-Louis had ever known - and after embracing him, deafened him
with his denunciation of M. de La Tour d'Azyr.
"I have heard of it already," said Andre-Louis.
"You speak as if the thing had not surprised you," his friend
reproached him.
"Nothing beastly can surprise me when done by a beast. And La Tour
d'Azyr is a beast, as all the world knows. The more fool Mabey for
stealing his pheasants. He should have stolen somebody else's."
"Is that all you have to say about it?"
"What more is there to say? I've a practical mind, I hope."
"What more there is to say I propose to say to your godfather, M.
de Kercadiou. I shall appeal to him for justice."
"Against M. de La Tour d'azyr?" Andre-Louis raised his eyebrows.
"Why not?"
"My dear ingenuous Philippe, dog doesn't eat dog."
"You are unjust to your godfather. He is a humane man."
"Oh, as humane as you please. But this isn't a question
of humanity. It's a question of game-laws."
M. de Vilmorin tossed his long arms to Heaven in disgust. He was
a tall, slender young gentleman, a year or two younger than
Andre-Louis. He was very soberly dressed in black, as became a
seminarist, with white bands at wrists and throat and silver
buckles to his shoes. His neatly clubbed brown hair was innocent
of powder.
"You talk like a lawyer," he exploded.
"Naturally. But don't waste anger on me on that account. Tell me
what you want me to do."
"I want you to come to M. de Kercadiou with me, and to use your
influence to obtain justice. I suppose I am asking too much."
"My dear Philippe, I exist to serve you. I warn you that it is a
futile quest; but give me leave to finish my breakfast, and I am
at your orders."
M. de Vilmorin dropped into a winged armchair by the well-swept
hearth, on which a piled-up fire of pine logs was burning cheerily.
And whilst he waited now he gave his friend the latest news of the
events in Rennes. Young, ardent, enthusiastic, and inspired by
Utopian ideals, he passionately denounced the rebellious attitude

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received reports of potential distribution of unlicensed influenza vaccine in the United States. The Agency is aggressively working with State health authorities and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate the source and quality of influenza vaccine being made available through unusual suppliers.
Specifically, FDA has received reports of offers to sell unlicensed influenza vaccine in the U.S., and of individuals who are not licensed health care professionals administering questionable influenza vaccine in apparent efforts to take advantage of reports that influenza vaccine is in short supply. FDA is actively investigating these reports and taking prompt action, when appropriate. For example, FDA and the Florida Department of Health worked together to prevent unlicensed product from entering the country and being offered for sale.
FDA has licensed three influenza vaccines for use in the U.S.: Fluzone, manufactured by Aventis Pasteur, Inc., and Fluvirin, manufactured by Evans Vaccines (a subsidiary of Chiron Corporation), both of which are given as injections; and FluMist, manufactured by Medimmune, which is given as a nasal spray. These vaccines are available from licensed sources, such as doctors, pharmacies and health care clinics.
CDC continues to work closely with FDA to obtain additional quantities of licensed influenza vaccine. Consumers with questions about flu vaccination itself, including who should be vaccinated or where to receive the vaccine, should ask a doctor or pharmacist. In addition, information is available on the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov/cber/flu/flu.htm, or the CDC website at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/.
To help assure that the influenza vaccine Americans receive is safe and effective, we recommend that health care providers purchase the vaccine from reliable sources. Careful discretion should be used in determining whether the vaccine is being sold by reputable distributors with proper evidence that the vaccine is licensed for sale in the United States. Likewise, it is also recommended that consumers obtain influenza vaccine from licensed health care providers only. Health care professionals and consumers should report any suspicious offers or practices to FDA or local health authorities.
FDA continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates as appropriate.
