Sure wish these games were televised. I hate having to read about them in the paper - and it;s an article written by some anonymous person at the Associated Press - both papers carried the same article! Neither the Trib not the Pioneer Press could be bothered to cover the game. C'mon!! Let's get with the program here and support this team!

Sorry for duplicate. Posting problem with first one - didn't show up until I posted second one.

OMG, the wolves are still here ? I thought they left for Omaha. Will they win the NBA champ title ? Brew said he was gonna win the Rose Bowl, Chilly has troubled pronouncing Super Bowl but we know what he means. Twinks sort of flushed themselves down the old septic tank, ah hockey love it.

32 points in an NBA game? That has gotten my attention...this kid is going to be a very strong contributor to an improving team, it appears. Agree that I wish it were available on TV, though.

The Cartoon Network will be covering all Wolves game this year.
#6 Oct 18, 2010
The negative posters are becoming increasingly scarce. This team is showing some good stuff and real MN sports fans are noticing. Let's hope they keep rolling in the regular season. Show those d-bags @ ESPN what's what!(ESPN rated the wolves worst in the league in season preview)
#7 Oct 18, 2010
Before we all get too excited about K-Love and the Wolves, let's remember, THESE ARE PRESEASON GAMES. They don't count, and the starting lineups for a lot of these teams are playing meager minutes. Plus, we've seen this from the wolves before: interesting preseasons followed by long, boring, losing, regular seasons. I say, don't even dare get excited about the Wolves unless they are in first or second place by the All Star Break. You can almost feel a big let down if you allow yourselves to feel it.

Actually, the starting line-ups for our team are also playing meager minutes. We're not winning because we use starters more. Most the starters are playing less than 25 minutes.
We've been winning because our bench is just as good as our starting line-up. That's what will change in the regular season. We'll lose the advantage on the bench because opponents bench players will get fewer minutes.

Get your popcorn ready! The Woofies are back. Also, good job getting rid of that girly green in your uniforms. I thought I was watching the WNBA. Hoooooowl!
#10 Oct 18, 2010
I think we're in trouble, then. Most teams' bench is their 2nd string. A team of all second stringers is what we've become accustomed to, unfortunately. LOL!
(We know what ya meant!)=0)
#11 Oct 18, 2010
It's important to keep playing 10 to 12 players and playing up tempo, this will force teams with a better top 5 to go deeper, and especially when they are on back to back games this will result in some victories for us. Should be a fun season

Michael Yon is a blogger and author who spent seven MONTHS with US forces in Mosul. He's terrific. He just came back from Afghanistan this time, albeit on a much shorter trip. Like me, he leaves the rear echelon to the MSM and goes to where the real stories are regardless of the danger.

Top 25 Biotech Companies of 2013
Which firms made this list this time?
Last year, GEN published a list of the top 25 biotech companies. So, who would make the list this year? Find out by checking out this updated list of 25 biotech companies ranked by their market capitalization for the latest quarter that they furnished figures on their numbers of outstanding shares.
Overall, the past year has been mostly very good to biotechs where market cap is concerned, the result of a stock market surge that has not only lifted prices well into double-digits for most of the companies on the list, but also finally jumpstarted the market for initial public offerings after several years of spinning its wheels.
Indeed, five of the companies saw their market cap more than double, as investors primarily rewarded companies that brought new drugs through trials and FDA review, to market: BioMarin Pharmaceutical, Isis Pharmaceuticals, Onxy Pharmaceuticals, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and especially Gilead Sciences, which nearly tripled its market cap after spending recent months integrating Pharmasset and growing its strong HIV portfolio with approvals last year for the combination drug Stribild (elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate), as well as and the first drug indicated for preventing the AIDS virus, the combo treatment Truvada (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate).
Only two of the top 25 companies on this list (Teva and Elan) saw their share prices decline, in each case following unique challenges that had many of the same biotech investors heading for the proverbial exits.

wikiHow to Fix a Broken Friendship
Friendships are built on trust. Many a confidence is shared between two 'good' friends, and once that confidence has been violated, then expect the friendship to be broken. It is difficult, and at times impossible to restore a friendship, and most of the time, it will never be the same. But if you work on trying to get along and fix things it may turn out to be a better situation.
1Think about the situation. Why are you fighting? This is an important first step—your apology will seem pointless if you can't explain what you are apologizing for, and may lead to making the fight worse.
2Talk to her/him. Tell them how you feel about what happened. Tell them that you want to be friends again, and point out certain things that you miss about them. If necessary show your emotions by crying or hugging.
- Even under the worst of circumstances an honest face to face conversation may be all that is needed to reestablish a bond.
3Take the initiative. Be open about wanting to fix your friendship. Friends should not play (mind) games with each other. If you truly love this person and want them to stay your friend, be open about your feelings towards them.
- Say you are sorry. You have to mean it however; the person will be able to tell if you're being sincere or not. It's the best word to use to explain your feelings. Leave it as a message on their answering machine if they have not answered your phone calls.
- Even if you consider yourself a victim in the fight, it's important to apologize. It's likely that your friend feels the same way, and hearing you say sorry will help let them know it's not going to hurt their pride if they apologize to you.
4Be calm and open to what your friend is saying. Getting defensive will cause your friend to do the same, which will make it hard for the two of you to work things out.
5Create an open discussion. When possible, and if the other friend agrees, try to sit down for coffee or something with them and talk things out. Wait at least three days to do this because the person will probably still be upset if earlier. It really depends though on how intense the fight was. When your friend speaks, listen. Be sincere in the things you have to say. Your friend will know if you are being insincere.
- Speak quietly and from the heart. Allow them to feel the pain that you feel, and the loneliness you have endured since the break up of the friendship.
- Explain how much you value and miss their friendship, and that you would like to speak to them in person.
- Crack a Joke. Friends love jokes. Jokes are fun. Life should be fun. Life's not a whole lot without your good friend there. When the tension starts to ease, and you get details out of the way, lighten the mood. Be careful though. Do not make a joke referring to the fight..ever. This can be seen as offensive and as if you did not take the person seriously.
6Step into their shoes. Try to sit back and see another perspective besides your own. This is a situation where one needs to think critically. It's not simple to try to understand other people. Think about recent events that have gone on in your friend's life. Try to understand the reason that your relationship got to such a heated level. Part of gaining understanding of another person's perspective may involve speaking to mutual friends or family members of that person. Be careful though, because a mutual friend can be dangerous to talk to. They may be trying to manipulate the situation for their own benefit, or things that you say may inadvertently get twisted when they get back to the friend you're fighting with.
7Learn from what happened. Never regret it, because in life you learn and grow stronger from mistakes you have made and problems you have gone through.
8Show him/her that you are sorry. This goes beyond the conversation that the two of you have. Whether or not they choose to forgive you, show your friend that you did not want to hurt him/her, and that you truly regret whatever you did. Go out of your way to put their needs in front of yours until you feel that things are on the mend.
9Gradually repair your friendship. Start talking to them more and more, don't go for the whole thing at once.
Community Q&A
- If they continue to hurt your feelings or show you no respect, walk away. Always remember, if they don't want you, you don't need them. There is always another person out there needing a good friend. Also, never say your sorry over and over again. There is always a limit.
- Try to be honest with yourself and your friend.
- Let them know how you're feeling about this. Don't use attitude towards them, they may end up leaving and not want to fix this situation.
- It would not be a good idea to call or text them to many times because they might get annoyed or even more mad at you. Instead do one thing a week to help.
- Be as calm as possible and do not yell at them.
- Actions speak louder then words. Just don't say sorry, show in your actions that you're sorry and want your friendship back.
- It is best to wait a couple of days until your friend's anger has simmered before confronting them. This gives both of you time to calm down and think about what happened and the best way to fix the incident.
- Don't be overeager. Don't call your friend every day crying about how you want to fix things, it makes you look needy will fuel the flame for your friend to continue to be mad.
- A face-to-face conversation with the person is more likely to get their attention.
- Be a good listener, once they have finished what they have said completely, respond and give your thoughts.
- Don't talk about the fight to third parties, unless you're asking for help on how to mend the friendship. Don't gossip about your friend in between the time you fight and apologize.
- Don't cry just because you want them to feel bad for you. If you don't have to cry then don't do it, because many times they can tell when it's fake!
- Tell them how true your friendship is and how much it means to you.
- Don't act desperate.
- When you meet, hug, and say 'I am sorry'. Be honest, and apologize for your thoughtlessness. Tell them how much your friendship meant, and that you hope you can get it back.
- After you fix your friendship, be more caring towards your friend and don't fight over the same thing again. When you fight with your friend again, give in to him/her. Slowly, your friend will feel that you care for him/her and he/she would treat you the the same way, so be caring to your friend! Friendship could not be bought, it is something that gives us happiness and pain.
- Don't point out what they did wrong.
- Clearly explain the issues to them.
- Suggest a compromise for whatever happened.
- Even if you feel like the victim, don't act out on any anger or other negative emotions. Blowing up on the person will just add another complication to the situation. Instead of letting your emotions control you, try giving yourself a moment to calm down before responding, and keep in mind that sacrificing your ego and apologizing is often necessary.
- It's okay to cry and show emotion, it shows you care.
- Sometimes being nice won't always work, show that you can be independent and make them want to be friends with you
- Have some alone time and then think about why you are fighting.
It is good to talk physically instead of text messaging, on the phone, etc. Show that you are sorry for what has previously happened.
- Do not think that because they don't want to make up now, they will never want to make up. Give them some time!
- Make sure that you will not explode when they say something that might tempt you to get very angry. If you start yelling at them, you may possibly lose the chance of ever being friends with them again.
- Make sure you're not still angry at this person.
- Do not leave repeated messages on their machines. Leave two or three, but not a hundred. That will make them think that you are too clingy and they won't want to be around you.
- Don't hover around them if they don't accept your apology. If they don't care, they aren't good enough to be your friend. Get some new friends, just relax.
- Do not to try to influence them to feel as if they are not wanted

NAB reveals lucky seven for small businesses
Page Tools
A REGULAR reporting system based on seven key financial indicators can help keep small businesses on track and out of the red, says National Australia Bank.
George Frazis, executive general manager for business and private banking at NAB, said bank reconciliation was important. "Without a reconciled bank account, you can't be sure whether your finances and financial data are accurate."
Mr Frazis said businesses should know how much cash they had, where it was coming from and how much was committed.
He said keeping track of how long debtors take to pay was vital. "Your sales becomes less profitable the more time it takes to collect payment. If debtor days continually increase, your business is effectively financing theirs," he said.
Mr Frazis said turnover measurement could reveal product lines that were not selling. "Steps can then be taken to drop them from your stock or modify your marketing strategy," he said.
Other important areas were sales analysis and creditors turnover. "Your cash flow may look healthy but if you're not paying creditors on time, you may be missing apparent cash flow problems," he said.
Mr Frazis also said that expenditure should be set realistically, actual profit and loss results compared with the budget and any variances detailed.

Does yesterday's news open the door for an Ellerbe return? Is the cap savings of a retired ray Lewis roughly equal the deal Jameel got last year?
If so, I thin it needs to be done. Ellerbe was our best ILB'er this year.

Does yesterday's news open the door for an Ellerbe return? Is the cap savings of a retired ray Lewis roughly equal the deal Jameel got last year?
If so, I thin it needs to be done. Ellerbe was our best ILB'er this year.
I didn't think they'd let Ellerbe get away before, and I don't now. I should qualify that by saying I think they'll make him a great offer. If he chooses to leave, he obviously will unless Joe signs and they franchise him (not likely). But if he would like to stay, I don't think the Ravens will have a problem making him a great offer. Especially where McClain is somewhat of a question mark (though I expect him back as well).
Only problem is Ellerbe's agent has some leverage now. Ravens have money they were committing to ILB. Ravens supply at ILB just bottomed out. He might get a bigger deal than McClain's now. Almost wonder if they were too quick to give McClain a starter's contract. He's the 3rd best ILB on the team right now.
Aaron Wilson @RavensInsider
Ray Lewis' retirement will save Ravens $4.35 million in salary-cap space
http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/r...,7305107.story …
Ellerbe is definitely a high priority for the Ravens this year. He has to be.
The one thing with Ellerbe to be careful with is how he will handle the big payday. He has had supposed work ethic issues in the past, and if they sign him, he's going to have to be one of the defensive leaders with Suggs, Ngata, and Webb since Ray and Ed will be gone. He's having his best year in his contract year...just need to make sure they are getting THIS Ellerbe for the next several years and not the one that was out of shape and in the dog house the past couple years. I think they have to sign him because they just don't have anyone else, but they have to be careful, too.
Ellerbe has been one of the best players on this defense this year. He looks fast and explosive, and is our best blitzer after Webb. If Ozzie locks him up long term and drafts one of many stud ILBs in this draft, like Arthur Brown, we'll potentially have one of the top tandems in a year or two.
The real shame is the McClain contract, which actually may have been the same "contract year" effect. He appears to have been overrated and the money he got looks excessive--plus, they can't really get out of the contract. Let's hope that doesn't have a negative effect on their chance to re-up Ellerbe.
I will say this--the Ravens have never been wild about letting veterans go and hoping young draftees can step up in year 1, even if they're highly drafted. None of the Ravens' first picks under Harbaugh have been expected to be day-one starters except Oher. Flacco and KO were each supposed to sit on the bench for a year. Kindle, Cody, Jimmy Smith, and Upshaw all DID start out on the bench. I think they'd much prefer to spend the money on Ellerbe rather than expect a rookie to step right in next to McClain.
They will make the offer and i have a feeling as long as its fair, he'll accept. ILBs arent in high demand and even after this solid season i doubt anybody gives him a crazy contract. so as long as we offer him something close to what other teams are, he has no reason to leave. I do feel confident in giving him starter money, i think his "doghouse" days are behind him, and besides injuries (which are a problem for him) hes been pretty good. Something seemed to click with him this year (possibly last as well), i feel the staff/FO sees that as well.

LAS VEGAS - DECEMBER 02: NASCAR driver Carl Edwards speaks at Las Vegas Motorspeedway for the Roast of four time NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson during Day 1 of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champions Week on December 2, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Todd Warshaw/Getty Images for NASCAR)
Edwards in the Unlimited: Carl Edwards will make his seventh start in the Sprint Unlimited Saturday night. His best finish to date is seventh in 2009. He has led 54 laps in his previous six starts. Unlimited Undergoes Format Change: Don't miss your chance to decide the format of the 2013 Sprint Unlimited. Cast your vote on nascar.com until Wednesday, February 13th at 11:59 p.m. EST! Edwards at Daytona: Edwards' average start at Daytona International Speedway is 16.2; his average finish is 16.6. Edwards' best finish at Daytona is second place, captured in 2011 500 (and in July 2008). Edwards/Fennig Team in 2013: This weekend marks the beginning of the much anticipated pairing of Sprint Cup and two-time Daytona 500 Championship crew chief Jimmy Fennig and Nationwide Champion Carl Edwards. Fennig feels confident in the new team that comprises the No. 99 car. Fennig brings in experience with drivers such as Bobby Allison, Mark Martin and Matt Kenseth as well as a 2012 Duel and Daytona 500 Championship crew. The Car: The No. 99 Fastenal crew will unload RK-835 for the Sprint Unlimited. This is a brand new car for 2013. Edwards, RFR Debut Gen 6 Car in Unlimited: Fans will identify with what they see on track more than ever this year with production inspired aspects such as the grille, silhouette and headlights. Local Connections: Car Chief Richie Davis, a Miami native, returns to his home state of Florida. Primary Sponsor Note: Fastenal will kick off the year with primary sponsorship of both weekends in Daytona. Fastenal will run suppliers Cleveland, Loctite, PowerPhase and Holo-Krome on their Sprint Unlimited paint scheme. Carl Edwards quotes on the Sprint Unlimited: "We are very excited about racing our Fastenal Ford in the Sprint Unlimited. We are going there to race as hard as we can and we want to do nothing but win that race. As a new team, it gives us time to work together and learn how we operate in that type of situation. The thing I am most nervous about is the fan vote eliminating some cars, because the way that the chaos of that event is, you could be coming down the back of the straightaway and at the end of that segment and a caution could come out and you're one of the guys that just got shuffled back. I'm certain the fans are going to vote to eliminate some people. I think the biggest fear is that you don't get to race the rest of the race. We are going out to lead every lap and dominate the race and win it. That is our mission." Jimmy Fennig Quote on racing in the Sprint Unlimited and returning to Daytona with championship crew members: "Coming out of Daytona testing we really worked hard to get more speed on the track. Carl and I are both on the same page as far as winning is concerned. Returning to Daytona with a championship crew, keeping our same players without having to replace anybody is a huge gain for us." -Roush Fenway Racing PR

plumbing question
I have a problem... hoping one of you do-it-yourselfers out there can help me out. I need to replace the knob to my shower faucet as the handle has broken. I've tried looking for replacement faucet handles at the Home Depot, but the female end of the knob does not fit the male end that sticks out of my shower wall:
As you can see, the cross section of the male end is square.
Among the knobs I've seen available, the cross section of the female end is a near-circle, i.e. it has two flattened sides so that it can grip onto the appropriate male end and turn the faucet. I guess you can describe the cross section as being in the shape of a barrel.
Does anyone know if they sell adapters for this sort of thing? Or do I just have the wrong type of faucet handle? My original faucet set was Sterling, but they have discontinued that line.
Any advice would be appreciated!!!!!!
If you know the manufacturer and or model number of the shower system or valve, it would be much easier to determin...
That or try matching up what it used to look like via online plumbing stores and just buy the mixing valve trim.
I don't recognize that valve, sorry but I have no clue right now, best bet would to take stem with you to home depot and see it that helps.
If all else fails, you may be able to use one of the "universal" replacement knobs. They are available at most supply houses and have a collar and set screw that will fit most stems. That valve of yours is unfamiliar to me and I can't quite make out the diameter of the shaft.

With friends like these who needs enemies
So as the FairSearch campaign prepares to turn the entire world against Google, its members will be delighted to learn Mountain View is still trying to do no evil.
Or at least on Twitter.
A few sharp-eyed followers of the @googletravel Twitter account were perhaps surprised today to see the team retweeting an offer from the Expedia-owned Hotels.com.
This is the same Expedia, of course, which is part of the increasingly vociferous FairSearch lobbying group seemingly hell bent on stopping Google from completing its proposed acquisition of ITA Software.
Within the Google camp, a source says "beats me…" when asked about such wonderful promotion for Hotels.com.
But seeing the resulting chatter on Twitter, GoogleTravel responded with the following tweet.
Look out for a string of deals from Expedia, Kayak, Travelocity, Hotwire, TripAdvisor and Sidestep in the coming days, then. Maybe.

Not that weird, when it comes to hotels they are business partners (Google maps with hotel rate aggregation).
The fight is only over flights, right?

Ever since I bought the car, which was in August of 2009.
During the 400-grit, there was a LOT of yellow dust flying out from underneath the sander. Lol. So there was definitely a lot of it caked on there. Same with the fogs, but since my headlights were my main concern, and I only had one kit, I wanted to make sure I had enough to get the headlights done. Fogs were just extra.
And there's actually more than enough in the kit to do both headlights and both fogs. I ended up with three 400-grit pads left, two 800-grits, and the one 3000-grit pad is still better than 60% I'd say. Plus the compound pad, which I don't think will really ever wear out. Not for a while at least.
You just have to make sure you hit them with the 400-grit until ALL yellow dusts stops. And keep watching the lens. If you see spots that still have the haze to them, keep at it. And it doesn't look like much until after the compound and a wash. That's really what does it. When I got done with the 3000-grit I wasn't very impressed. But then I hit it with the compound, then hit it with the 3000-grit again, and then the compound again, and then I washed it. After I dried all the lenses with a towel (after the wash) I stood back and was like "Wow.."
Another tip, when using the sanding pads, make sure to periodically wipe off both the pads and the lenses to help the pads last longer. Also, wiping off the lenses will give you a better idea of what areas need to get hit again.

Professor John Falconer of the chemical engineering department at the University of Colorado at Boulder has received two awards for outstanding teaching skills and for his dedication in motivating students to get the most out of their learning experiences.
Falconer was one of four university professors from around the country who received $5,000 for the Responsible Care National Catalyst Award given by the Chemical Manufactures Association. He was cited not only for his teaching but for the countless hours he has spent revising lectures, developing demonstrations, evaluating student feedback and seeking ways to improve student learning.
Falconer also received the $500 Rocky Mountain Section Outstanding Award from the American Society for Engineering Education. He won the award for teaching highly demanding and respected courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, for having excellent rapport with students and for being available to advise and assist students.
He also was recognized for continuous introduction of new demonstrations, interactive computer programs and problem-solving techniques.
When I see students who come back and have been successful, its a really gratifying experience, Falconer said.

Electric Field Assisted Assembly of Perpendicular Oriented ZnO Nanorods on Si Substrate
|O. Lupan, L. Chow, G. Chai, S. Park, A. Schulte
|University of Central Florida, US
|567 - 570
|assisted assembly, ZnO nanorods, Si
|Self-assembly of nanoarchitectures has attracted high interest driven by the demands of technology and engineering. Chemical and electric field assisted assembly offer a great opportunity in creation of heterostructures in multicomponent systems and in manufacturing of nanodevices. In this work, we report a new electric-field assisted assembly technique used to align individual ZnO nanowires on the Si substrate. During the assembly process, the forces that induce the alignment are a result of the polarization in the applied electric field. The synthesis was realized at low growth temperature which is necessary from a technology point of view. Novel experimental measurements on these structures show encouraging characteristics for future applications. The phase purity and composition of the synthesized products by the assembly method was examined by XRD and EDX. SEM has been used to examine the surface morphology and to estimate of the obtained structural sizes. TEM was employed to characterize the ZnO nanorods, and to observe the nanostructures. Room-temperature micro-Raman spectroscopy was performed to examine the properties of the self-assembly ZnO nanorods on Si substrate structures. Such highly oriented and ordered ZnO nanorods could be beneficial for field emission, solar cells, LEDs and spintronic applications.

Ho-ho-hoping for a forum
I guess, having been raised in northern climes, my own inner cycle needs the same dormancy of our hardy perennial plants hereabouts. Besides, there is much to do during the cold months: planning vegetable gardens, research pollinator forage information, seed starting in the basement (well, maybe waiting until Feb-Mar), and other 'inside' projects, like finding ways to share bee/pollinator garden information.
Regarding the latter, I'm trying to convince a well-respected and very informative online forum: the iVillage GardenWeb to include a forum dedicated to Pollinator Gardens . Currently this site has a forum dedicated to "Bees and Beekeeping", but there is no conversation or information here for gardening for bees/pollinators. The forum that exists is apparently aimed at 'dealing' with bee- and wasp-like insects or working with domestic hives and honey production, neither of which has anything to do with designing gardens to support wild/feral pollinators.
Pollinator gardens and such sanctuaries are not about raising bees for fun/profit or how to get rid of a yellow-jacket nest. It is not about 'working with insects'. It is about understanding that in order for us to continue to benefit and enjoy the results (fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc.) of pollinators they need to be healthy and prolific. And right now they are neither.
Sterile landscapes, sterile lawns, the loss of open fields to 'development', all these activities make it difficult for pollinators to find reliable food (and in some cases, medicinal) sources. Remember, while domestic honeybee hives (the ones succumbing to CCD) are 'in the news' thus getting popular attention, many other types of bees, wasps, hoverflies, etc pollinate plants and crops that honeybees do not! There is a division of labor, so to speak.
Anyway, if you subscribe to iVillage GardenWeb (and I highly recommend it, the people there are helpful and kind and just plain nice folks), please take a moment to drop the administration a note suggesting that a forum devoted to bee sanctuaries or pollinator gardens would be useful - a forum where the PLANTS and PROCESS is the subject, not the insects that (we hope) will be attracted by, and benefit from, our efforts.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all (and 'bee' good! ;-) )
2 comments:
It's always looked as if getting a 'new' forum on GW was not an easy task.ReplyDelete
I couldn't see that you'd asked for one in the Suggestions Forum?
Take a hard look at the current Bee Forum: "This forum is for the discussion of bees and their roles as pollinators and honey producers," it says.
As few participants as there are in this forum, why not just use it for your needs?
If you can attract your fellow pollinator-gardeners to the current Forum, you might breathe some life into what is essentially a dead Forum. It doesn't matter what the official title is, you can easily turn it into a Pollinator Gardening Forum by participation. You certainly wouldn't be off topic.
Make a thoughtful post or two and encourage your fellow bee enthusiasts to do the same. It might catch on.
Thanks for the good advice, Jean, and the encouragement. :-)ReplyDelete
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your notes, comments and questions and will try to reply to each one! :-)

With just five months until the general election, DFL delegates say they are confident that their candidates at the top of the ticket will have no trouble winning Minnesota this November.
Matt Toburen of Minneapolis is among those who say President Barack Obama and Sen. Amy Klobuchar are shoo-ins.
"I think Minnesota will go strongly for Barack Obama and Amy Klobuchar this year," he said.
Mike Quinn of Rochester shares Toburen's optimism.
"I don't think Minnesota is going to go anywhere but with Obama and Klobuchar," he said, adding that he believes the top of the ticket will help the DFL win majorities in the Legislature as well.
But not everyone at the convention believes that Obama and Klobuchar have flawless records.
Beth Walters of Sauk Rapids said she wished both had done more for labor unions. And she expressed some disappointment with the new health care law.
"I think the health care reform was a good first step, but I think it needed to go further," Walters said.
While the crowd has legitimate reasons to be optimistic – both Klobuchar and Obama are so far enjoying strong support in the state – party leaders have warned against over confidence.
"No one is taking the president's election for granted starting with the president, who expects a very tough campaign. Certainly not Amy [Klobuchar], who is working harder than anybody," said Gov. Mark Dayton. "Everybody has spent the last two years in the minority, and with all the frustrations involved with that, there's no complacency whatsoever."
Some delegates are more concerned about passage of two constitutional amendments on the ballot, one that would require voters to show identification at the polls, and another that would define marriage between a man and a woman.
Quinn said he's confident Minnesotans will reject the marriage amendment, because voters don't want to change the state's constitution.
But voter ID is on shakier ground, he said.
"I think you have a lot of people on both sides, probably even a lot of Democrats, who don't quite understand what the problem is in regards to the election ballot," said Quinn. "I think we have to do a lot more to get them to understand that it is difficult to get older people and students their notification of having an ID like that especially in a short period of time close to an election period."

text: Huys guys, I've been meaning to post about this but I kept getting too lazy haha... Anyway, under normal acceleration in my truck, it will shift from 1-2 at about 12mph, from 2-3 at about 19-20mph, and from 3-O.D. at about 37. I can feel the power drop off when it shifts from 2-3 and from 3-O.D., because to me, it feels like its shifting too early. I'm fine with the 1-2 shift, but is there a way I could bump the 2-3 shift point to about 24 or 25 mph and the 3-O.D. to about 44 or 45 under normal acceleration (without just pressing the pedal harder lol), while still keeping the floored shift points to a max of about 4,500 RPM or somewhere around there? I've never really dealt with this before, so I'm clueless at this. Oh and while I'm at it, I'll ask this - the 1-2 shift is real tight/quick/firm (like it has a shift kit in it), while the 2-3 and 3-O.D. shifts are like normal. There's no stranges noises when it shifts, either. Should I be concerned about this? I hope it's nothing to worry about, because I like it!! Ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm drawin' a blank here... :rules:

Proper placement of dormer roof vents?
Hi all,
Are there any suggested placements for dormer roof vents? I ask because when my mother had her house roof replaced, I noticed that the roofer did not put the dormer roof vents in the same place as where they existed before.
I'm currently trying to determine if they decreased the number of vents too. Currently the house has two vents. One on east side of house (vent faces east) and one on west side of house (vent faces west).
According to old photos, there used to be a vent on the north side of the house (vent facing north)...i assume there was one on south side of house facing south too....
Ever since the new roof, the house seems to retain heat more than before. New roof was the asphalt material..old roof was wood shingles. Newer building code prevented us from installing wood shingles again. House is located in West Los Angeles, 8 miles east of beaches so we do get nice breezes.
So what are some general guidelines for dormer roof placement? and number of vents? The house has sofit vents all along the perimiter of the roof too.
THanks for any input.
Typical vent placement on any part of the roof is about 12"-14" off the ridge line symmetrical.
Removing a vent is never a good idea if it was on the initial blue prints.However depending on the era in which your home was built new technical home construction technique advancements have been made.
If possible post the approximate square footage of attic space along with the roof pitch and it can be determined the amount of ventilation needed.
Why wasn't Ridge Vent installed ? Was it offered ? Ridge Vent and functioning soffit is the best ventilation combination.
Nonetheless its possible to acquire a decent ventilation flow with vents and soffit.As long as there is enough vents in place as required to attain proper ventilation.

Ever hear the saying about swimmers with big hands and feet? They're sunk unless they've got the ability and heart to match. Not a problem for Michael Phelps, the greatest all-around competitor in the history of his sport. Every time he splashed into the water, he was determined to produce a once-in-a-lifetime performance—according him rock-star status among swim fans and drawing a tidal wave of attention from the non-chlorinated world, as well. Iron Mike began his career hoping to win a few medals and inspire others to embrace competitive swimming. Five Olympics later, he stands as the most decorated athlete in the history of the Summer Games. This is his story…

For the elite athlete, the brass ring of immortality—aka a professional sports championship—often dangles just beyond his grasp. The longer he goes without one, the more the public focuses on what he hasn't accomplished instead of what he has. LeBron James knows all about this cruel irony. For eight frustrating seasons, he was the NBA's king without a crown. Finally, in years 9 and 10, LeBron put the championship stamp on an otherwise unprecedented career and became an official part of the "basketball's greatest-ever" debate. Then, for an encore, he pulled off the NBA's greatest homecoming and delivered a title to his beloved Cleveland Cavaliers. This is his story…

Kevin Garnett: The Man
He was once "Da Kid." Then "The Man." When he became one of Boston's "Big Three" the only thing Kevin Garnett hadn't done in the NBA was take his team to a title. He checked that one off his to-do list in 2008. In a career that has seen him log 50,000+ minutes and score 25,00+ points, KG ranks among the most enthusiastic, demanding and dedicated players to ever set foot on the hardwood. This was true when he was at the top of his game, and it is still true in his twilight years as a mentor to his young Minnesota teammates. This is his story…

After overcoming shoulder woes and losing the steam off his 97 mph heater, Bartolo has continued to baffle the baseball world and kept winning into his 40s. This is his story…

During the past couple of years, mobile device manufacturers including Apple, Microsoft, Nokia, and RIM have deployed mobile application stores. Applications available in these stores are primarily consumer focused including games, music, news, and entertainment - but many applications are emerging that help business users. Work related application examples include PDF document readers, expense report viewers, and productivity enhancing applications for LOB workers such as medical decision-support tools and ECG-reading applications for doctors and nurses in healthcare.

According to the GSM Association, 49,000 people attended the annual Mobile World Congress (MWC) in cold wet Barcelona last week. The weather was not a metaphor for the event which has maintained its glitz even though it is no longer a showcase for all devices new. Sure there were plenty of cool handsets on view, but this indicates how the mobile sector has matured into something different - a theme we will pick-up in research to be published shortly.
But what MWC has really become is one great big networking event, and Forrester was there in the thick of it. Personally met with senior executives from Alcatel-Lucent, Orange Business Services, Cisco, HP, Amdocs, Telefonica, Wipro, Tieto, Oracle, Comptel and Convergys; and had the opportunity to hear what Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) and Motorola had to say in my 2 days at the event. Other Forrester colleagues had equally full agendas, as is the way at MWC. As ever these interactions were as much about explaining our take on developments as hearing announcements (of which there were many).
From these meetings, podium presentations, and a deluge of press releases, four things stand out to me. They are:

I am writing this blog as I return from a whirlwind visit to the Vancouver Olympics - a truly digital Olympics relying on a converged network from Avaya and Bell Canada to deliver all of the data and media required for the games. The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games(VANOC) CIO, Ward Chapin, has been oft quoted saying that hosting the Winter Olympics is similar in scale to hosting 3 Super Bowls a day for 17 days, so when I spoke to him I asked how he does that. Relying on a team of suppliers and partners that includes Atos Origi

Oracle is about to launch its Cloud Computing strategy with a worldwide roadshow. What does this mean for Oracle customers and partners?
First of all, Oracle remains a technology platform provider and will not jump into the hosting business themselves for PaaS. Only for the space of hosted applications, will they remain in the OnDemand hosting business. Let's have a look at the SaaS and PaaS segments separately:

The deregulation of the UK communications market began in 1984 and heralded the start of the competitive era. This week the UK regulator Ofcom removed one of the last vestiges of the monopoly era by requiring BT to open it's ducts to allow wholesale rivals to lay fiber cables in them if they wished to do so. This change was supported by the incumbent BT, which just goes to show how far the industry has changed since the dawn of deregulation!

SAP changes its board structure to focus again on product and technology
2009 was a tough year for the whole IT industry but SAP's performance (-8% in total revenue and -28% in software revenue) was somewhat below the results of many other leading IT companies. The product launch of Business ByDesign is years delayed and clients are still unhappy about the way the new Enterprise Support was introduced. No question, SAP is currently in a difficult situation. At this point SAP announced yesterday that CEO Léo Apotheker's contract will not be renewed and his resignation is effective immediately. In his place, the company appointed the two board members Jim Hagemann Snabe, responsible for product development and Bill McDermott, in charge of field operations, as co-CEOs.
After 20 years of service with SAP it would not be fair to blame Apotheker, who was certainly instrumental for SAP's tremendous growth in the past, for the challenges SAP is currently facing. Over several years the company shifted from its traditional strengths, such as products, technology, quality and reliability to a strongly sales driven entity. In fact the whole board of SAP was slowly replaced by a team of pure sales professionals. Product innovation and quality, or customer satisfaction was no longer in the center of corporate strategy, but replaced by sales performance and quotas. In a press and analyst call today Hasso Plattner, Co-Founder of SAP and Chairman of the Supervisory Board, acknowledged that mistakes e.g. with Enterprise Support, were made, but the whole SAP board was involved and it was not Apotheker's fault.

Numbness after cheek implants, is something wrong?
Numbness is a possible complication of cheek implant surgery. However, sometimes it resolves as the swelling resolves. Discuss your symptoms with your surgeon when you are seen in a post op visit.
Numbness After Facial Implant Surgery
The sensory nerve, known as the infraorbital nerve, lies in the surgical field where cheek implants are placed. Often times the nerve can be stretched or bruised during the procedure leading to temporary numbness. Excess edema or swelling in the area can also lead to temporary numbness. As you are only one week out, you will need to allow time for the swelling to resolve and the nerve to repair itself. It is very uncommon to see permanent nerve damage with this type of procedure. I suggest you followup with your operating surgeon to have your concerns evaluated. Good Luck

Numbness after cheek implants
There is a nerve in each cheek called the infra-orbital nerve that supplies sensation to your cheek, the upper lip and side of your nose. It lies in the surgical field for cheek implants and most likely it has been a bit stretched or bruised from the surgery. This is unlikely to be a permanent problem and your sensation should return as the swelling and bruising resolve with time.

Numbness on one side after cheek implants
There is a sensory nerve in the vicinity of the area where cheek implants are placed, and sometimes this nerve can be irritated by the surgery. The swelling may affect the issue as well. In most cases, this numbness will improve over time as the healing occurs. Since your surgery was only a week ago, I would wait a few more weeks or even longer to see how the numbness improves. Be sure to mention this to your surgeon so that your progress can be monitored.
