Locals To Beautify Beach 108 Street Mall
The Friends of the Beach 108 Street Mall, with the full support and cooperation of the New York City Parks Department, will be cleaning up, rejuvenating and beautifying the Beach 108 Mall on Saturday morning, May 15 from 9:30 a.m. till noon. The event's coordinators invite all local bungalow residents, Surfsiders, homeowners and residents to join in.
Friends will be planting two 50-foot flowerbeds and sprucing up the signage on Beach 108 Street and the boulevard. Light refreshments – graciously donated by Boardwalk Bagels – to be available.
The Friends of B 108 was established last August in a sit-down meeting at Frank Gallagher's Snug Harbor Restaurant, where LeRoy Temple, former Parks Manager for the Rockaways, laid out a beautification plan that has evolved over the last eight months. The Friends were awarded a $500 'Love Your Block' grant from the Citizens Committee for NYC that goes towards out-of-pocket flower purchases.
Bungalow owner Kevin O'Rourke says, "For too long I looked out across my porch to the dumping on our Mall, and am very excited we are now revitalizing our common spaces to their former luster." Pat and Vic Ritter and Maryann McEvoy, gardeners from Surfside say, "We love gardening and truly believe flowers and grasses will enrich the block, all our residents and hopefully our visitors, too!" Long-time Beach 109 Street homeowner Rosemary Sullivan Murphy says, "I am so happy to participate in something that will bring back the glory that was Rockaway, and now is Rockaway." Jill Weber, Rockaways' Administrator for the NYC Parks Department, comments, "Partnership is very important for us to assure longterm solutions, and so we're delighted to partner with this new Friends group to clean up and restore B 108 as an important Rockaway gateway."
The Love Your (NYC) Block Campaign is a partnership between NYC Service and Citizens Committee for New York City. The campaign provides each group with a $500 grant to cover project costs as well as direct links to services provided by city agencies, including the Departments of Transportation, Sanitation and Parks and Recreation. Sixty neighborhood groups were selected to take part in the campaign. The city agencies working with these groups are providing support services such as graffiti removal, cleaning vacant lots, repairing damaged or missing street signage and streetlights, ticketing illegal dumping sites and replacing worn-out or missing litter baskets.
"Restore, improve and beautify," explains Rob Endall, president of the Rockaway Park Homeowners and Residents Association. "These are the kinds of projects and collaborations that are essential for advancing Rockaway and building a better neighborhood."

Already this past week alone, we've seen the HTC EVO View 4G for Sprint reduced in price to the under $250 price point, which is fantastic seeing that's the outright cost you'll need to pay to pick it up – and yeah, no need to sigh a contract with it. Well, if that's not enough for you, then you'll be interested to know that it might possibly be offered at an even lower price after Christmas!
Yes, you heard that right, we stress that it's possible – seeing that one of our trusty tipsters managed to pass along some information about it. Specifically, it looks as though Sprint will be selling the tablet for $199 the week after Christmas, which is a stellar pricing for a full-featured Android powered tablet. However, the leaked memo doesn't explicitly say if that's the outright or on-contract price – though, we'd wager it's going to be the former.
Therefore, if you can somehow wait past Christmas, you can very well pick up the tablet for very cheap. Maybe you can treat yourself to it?
Thanks to our anonymous tipster!

Radiator spud removal problem
I am trying (hoping?) to move a one-pipe steam radiator over about a foot and a half or so. The plan was to remove the 'spud' from the radiator, thread ~24" length of pipe into the radiator, and use a basic straight coupling to connect the extension pipe to the spud and hence into the valve. Simple right? until one of the little nubbins the spud wrench grabs onto snapped off. Now what? If I were a welder I suppose I could build up a new nubbin, but I lack the equipment or knowledge. Any thoughts/advice welcome!
I moved this to HVAC for you--there are some old time steam fitters hiding inn here--
If you can post a picture---the answers will be more accurate--Mike---
oh man you have a problem .... and what is a nubbin
Thanks for looking out for me Mike!
a couple photos (hope they come through - its my first attempt) --
http://www.diychatroom.com/C:\Users\...\DIYsetup copy
heres the general goal - I need to move the spud from the radiator to the coupler-riser position.
here's the sheared-off nubbin from inside the spud. (I have no idea what the nubbin is really called - there are two such nubbings inside the spud, against which the spud wrench engages. or used to.)
no pictures..... and I am confused...does not take much mind you
You need to try 'Abra Cadabra"--worked for Danger Mouse--I never have figured it out myself--
One of the boiler men will see this---good luck
Do you have a wood saw? Cut a piece of wood just wide enough so it just barely fits into the spud(dow rod also works). Then use pump pliers to grip the spud on the outside, and gently turn it loose. Should spray it with Kroil or some other good penetrating fluid also. the wood prevents you from crushing the spud.

Not easy at Ellerslie today, but several nice each-way chances.
There will be no fancy odds on Nancho Bella (No7, R2), but on form she should be very difficult to roll. She was beaten only by Zennista last start and Zennista has been the form horse of the past two months. The only slight concern is that Nancho Bella has not previously raced at Te Rapa, which can occasionally be an issue, but everything else points to her.
If Rose Of Falkirk (No8, R4) can turn her zip-from-three Te Rapa record she can be difficult to handle. That was a nice second at Te Awamutu and she should now be close to winning. The Old Sheila (No12) could run a bold race while fresh.
Bally Duff (No1, R6) found 1400m too short in his first start back home since returning from Hong Kong. He was making ground nicely at the end of that race and should appreciate the 1600m. Don't be concerned by the wide barrier - Bally Duff needs plenty of galloping room and there is a long run down the back straight to work into the right spot. Kafafel (No3) has great course stats.
Grey Power (No8, R7) came back from a long break with a dashing Rotorua victory last start. He is five and has had just the three career starts and has real ability. Star Bound (No3) is a course winner and will appreciate the 1600m.
From this point High Kin (No11, R8) might start needing a middle distance pretty quickly, but while she is relatively fresh she should handle 1600m on her home track. She looks to be a High Chaparral mare with a future.

Ravens and 49ers get Super Bowl week under way
By Simon Evans
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - The Baltimore Ravens will fly into New Orleans on Monday to join Super Bowl rivals the San Francisco 49ers as the week-long build-up to America's biggest and most celebrated game gets fully under way.
The Harbaugh brothers, 49ers coach Jim and Ravens boss John, have five straight days of media conferences ahead of them, including a joint session on Friday as the NFL and an insatiable sports media takes full advantage of the fascination with the pair.
The 49ers jetted the 1,900 miles from San Francisco to the 'Big Easy' on Sunday with their coach insisting that they were going to attempt to prepare themselves as if it were just another game rather than the most hyped event in U.S. sport.
"We try to make it like a normal week. We are in the city starting Monday like it is the week leading up to a Sunday game, that's our plan," said Jim Harbaugh on arrival.
"Our team enjoys the practice, the meetings and especially the competition. We will be gearing up for the competition of a championship game," he added.
His brother, John, said his aim for the Ravens was to keep the focus firmly on the work at hand.
"You better be improving right up to the last breath you take. That is the number one thing. The other thing is it is about football. It's not about anything other than that, and we try to keep it simple, keep that focus on where it belongs and keep it about the important things," he said.
Both teams are staying in hotels in central New Orleans which is expected to have a full Mardi Gras atmosphere as game time draws closer. Continued...

As Blair Larsen took his seat alongside the others, he felt like a naughty schoolkid.
On one side of the hallway sat the Auckland players. On the other, North Harbour's. They were all waiting for their judicial hearings after being cited in one of the most notorious games of rugby seen in this country.
Seven players from both sides fronted the judiciary in the wake of Auckland's 22-16 win in the NPC final.
Normally they would have had to venture to NZRU headquarters in Wellington to have their case heard but there were so many, they were summoned to a hotel near Auckland Airport instead.
The Battle of Onewa Domain, as the 1994 NPC final became known, was the most notorious game in 25 years of Auckland and North Harbour rivalry and featured, in the words of the Rugby Almanack, "many shameful acts by well-known players".
It was a time when Little Brother stood up to Big Brother, gave them everything they had (some legal, some not so) but still came up short.
It was a brilliant Auckland side that took the field that day. Not only was it full of All Blacks but top All Blacks such as Sean Fitzpatrick, Zinzan Brooke, Robin Brooke, Olo Brown, Lee Stensness and Carlos Spencer. Others, including John Kirwan, Michael Jones, Craig Dowd and Joe Stanley, were injured. The team were coached by a school headmaster by the name of Graham Henry.
But North Harbour were also stacked full of talented players such as Frank Bunce, Glen Osborne, Walter Little, Ian Jones, Eric Rush, Ant Strachan, Richard Turner, Liam Barry, Ron Williams and Larsen, and many had history in the Auckland set-up.
They had been the only team to beat the visiting French in 1994 - the All Blacks lost both tests - had defeated Transvaal and also smacked Canterbury 59-27 in the NPC semifinals. Just weeks earlier, they had beaten Auckland for the first time at Eden Park.
"Auckland were always the team to beat in New Zealand rugby in the late '80s, early '90s," Larsen says. "But we had a fantastic year, too. We genuinely thought we could have won that year. We had the team to win it and it would have been the icing on the cake to finish the year off.
"I guess it was a real chance for North Harbour to state that we were a power of New Zealand rugby and we could foot it. We had the confidence to win ... but not quite the maturity and experience. We hadn't been on that stage too many times before.
"Auckland were a bloody good side and, because of that, had a certain arrogance. Part of that arrogance was the ability to niggle away at you. Guys like Fitzy were pros at it. I guess that's what made them a great team as well. They knew they were so good."
They had also been stung by their defeat to Harbour earlier in the season. Former first five-eighths Grant Fox had been very clear in his playing days that you don't lose to your near neighbours but this side had.
Stensness says Auckland "had a bit of revenge on our minds. It was for bragging rights for the city and that was important. It was also a final and the potential to lose in a final would have made it even more embarrassing. You didn't want to lose to your little brother."
Onewa Domain was bursting at the seams for the match. Rules then dictated North Harbour would host the final even though they weren't top qualifiers - Auckland staged the round robin match so it was Harbour's turn - and steadfastly refused approaches to shift the final to a bigger venue such as Eden Park or Mt Smart Stadium.
Some in the union wanted to maximise profits but many of the players wanted to improve their chances of winning.
Brad Meurant, Harbour coach at the time, said in Lindsay Knight's book Harbour - the First 25 Years of the North Harbour Rugby Union: "To have played at Eden Park would have been worth a 10-point start to Auckland. They were probably always going to win the game anyway but we wanted to give ourselves the best possible chance."
Lock Ian Jones, playing in his first season for Harbour after moving from North Auckland, applauded the stance.
"We would have got a bigger crowd if we played the game elsewhere but it wasn't right because it was our home game," Jones says. "It was Little Brother hosting Big Brother and they didn't want to come over here. That added to the build-up."
What also added to it was a provocative Nike billboard displayed around town. Both sides were sponsored by the sports company but it didn't stop them trading barbs in the lead-up to the match.
Many fans would have discussed this at the Poenamo Hotel over the road from the Onewa Domain in the hours immediately before kickoff. By the time the game started, they were well lubricated and looking for action.
Larsen remembers: "Onewa Domain was way too small and by the time the game kicked off, it was such a charged atmosphere in such a small space.
"It was one of the most intense atmospheres I have been in.
"I wouldn't call the game filthy. There was no malicious intent, certainly not by the Harbour players. We never went out there to start a fight. But you just always had the feeling that, as soon as you ran out, something was going to happen and it wasn't all going to be rugby."
Referee Colin Hawke had little warning. He hadn't arrived in Auckland until the day before, so didn't appreciate the level of feeling between the two sides. He sensed nothing out of the ordinary in the changing sheds before kickoff. In fact, he felt it was very relaxed, which was normal before a big match - can't afford to expend too much nervous energy thinking about it.
"It caught me a bit by surprise," Hawke says. "There was some silly one-off stuff that then turned into quite blatant offending from players you wouldn't expect to be involved, some quite well-known players.
"I was a bit dumbfounded, really. It was the oddest game I ever refereed.
"If I had my time again, I probably would have done things differently. I would have stopped the game about 20 minutes in and said, 'listen, you guys go over there and you go over there and only come back when you're ready to play rugby. Let me know when you're ready, otherwise we're not going to have anyone left at the end'. But it was hard to do that because it was an NPC final and also on TV."
What viewers witnessed was both Rush and Robin Brooke sent by Hawke for an early shower and a handful of yellow cards shown to others.
They also saw the Auckland pack dominate North Harbour up front, deserving to win their seventh NPC title in 10 years (they won nine in 12 years between 1985 and 1996).
Brown, Fitzpatrick and Jason Chandler scored tries for Auckland, with fullback Shane Howarth adding a penalty and two conversions.
Little scored a try for Harbour in reply, with Warren Burton landing three penalties and a conversion.
It was the closest Harbour got to winning a national provincial championship in their 25 years and it could be some time before they get that close again.
Regardless, an edge has been lost from the Auckland derby. Professionalism means fewer All Blacks play in the annual encounter than in the past, the crowds don't come in the numbers they once did and Auckland and Harbour players are now team-mates at the Blues (Harbour used to be aligned with the Chiefs).
Auckland and Harbour's relationship has never been easy. For one day in October 1994, they were anything but good neighbours. It truly was, as the moniker suggests, the Battle of the Bridge.
1986: Auckland 18 North Harbour 6
The first Battle of the Bridge was also North Harbour's first challenge for the Ranfurly Shield. A Harbour team who had easily won promotion from third division in their first season took it to one of the greatest provincial sides of all time in front of 35,000 at Eden Park.
Harbour led 3-0 at halftime but Grant Fox took control in the second spell, kicking for the corners, while Andy Haden was dominant in the lineout. North Harbour might have lost but they were far from beaten and proved to coach Peter Thorburn they could compete against the best.
For Thorburn and many Harbour players, however, it was a bizarre experience. They had grown up watching rugby at the ground - now they were the enemy. Harbour's cheer squad, the first in New Zealand rugby, also elevated the more traditional eyebrow.
"I can still recall sitting at the back of the main stand and there were these old boys of Auckland rugby shaking their heads as the cheerleaders shook their bottoms on the pitch below," Thorburn said in Harbour - the first 25 years of the North Harbour Rugby Union.
2004: Auckland 32 North Harbour 34
It looked bad for Harbour from the outset. Auckland centre Sam Tuitupou scored from the kickoff and the blue-and-whites jumped out to an early 24-3 lead through tries to Isa Nacewa and Sione Lauaki.
But North Harbour fought their way back into the match. Rico Gear's second try late in the game, converted from the sideline by Luke McAlister, saw them win their first game of the season and their first at Eden Park since 1998.
Harbour had their shortcomings in 2004 but possessed a potent and promising backline with Rico and Hosea Gear, Anthony Tuitavake, Rudi Wulf, Nick Evans and McAlister.

From the moment I first made contact with MEMPHIS TOURS, I was impressed and delighted in the courteous and dedicated way in which Memphis met all my needs. Ahmed Fayez coped admirably with my demandingness and was able to create the perfect programme. On arrival in Cairo, though very late their agent, Hussein Zakaria was there to greet us with a warm smile, a bottle of water, and guided us to the limousine to take us to our first hotel. Here he relieved us of all checking in… Read Full Review

I can't say enough good things about the staff of Memphis Tours. We had amazing tour leaders, drivers and tour guides. There was never a time that I felt unsafe, we were well taken care of. The tour was amazing, the guides were knowledgable and friendly. The optional excursions were also great. We spent 8 amazing days in Egypt, cursing the Nile and learning a great deal of history and Memphis tours made it fun and safe and a great adventure. All of are accommodations were great. In Cairo we… Read Full Review

I had a good experience on a day tour in Cairo with Memphis Tours Egypt. They picked me up at my hotel on time and my tour guide and driver were both very friendly and helpful throughout the the entire day. The tour guide was well informed and did a great job of not only giving me context for the sites we visited--the Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum, and the Citadel--but also for Cairo as a whole. I really enjoying talking to him about the city and how it has changed overtime, as well as the most… Read Full Review

I have now used Memphis Tours twice - once in 2010 for a 2 day cruise excursion in Alexandria/Cairo which prompted a return visit for 10 days in Jan 2011. They offer outstanding value and top notch private guide service. I would not hesitate to use them again. Everything they arranged was as promised. They were flexible and accomodating - always with a "can do" attitude. Hotels offered are 5 star and preplanning emails were promptly answered. Our trips could not have gone more smoothly… Read Full Review

I just want to thank Memphis Tours - Egypt for arranging everything for our day tour on 26th March in Cairo. We arrived 2 hours late from New York, but the guide was waiting for us with my name plate. He was really amazing. I know that if we come to Cairo again I would love to have him again as our guide.
Also our driver was fantastic. A very safe driver and very nice gentleman. We had an awesome day, enjoyed all the sites very much. I realize now that it is difficult to fit in… Read Full Review

My wife is upset that I am wasting my time writting this however all I want to do is keep one person from working here, or purchasing a policy from this company. It was the worst experience of my wifes life, seriously. Even though it took her a year to finally start making money to this day every single person she has sold a policy to has cancled and even though FFG keep the money they make the agent pays it back!
Dan Mckenzie who runs this show along with Rick Dickson have been in legal trouble before with World Financial becaue they were a multie level marketing company. Now they are "multi tiered" lol. Anyway I am not going to go into all the detail, I jsut wish my wife and I would have done a little more researh or read more posts from people like me so we did not have to go through all of this.
I am personally contacting the CA insurance commissioner because Dan Mckenzie her boss has emailed and texted her that due to the fact that her last client canceled she owes him money personally and that he is in charge of collecting her debt. he instructed her to pay him personally, can you believe this? Anyway do not spend one penny buying your way to employment, the only people making any money over there are management. I know one of them personally and they admitt to the entire thing being total BS.

Quoting trippyhippy:

We just had ours a couple weeks ago. Probably next April, unless I request one sooner (hopefully not, that would mean things are not going well).
Earlier this month... nothing changed at all! Luckily she didn't qualify for in district kindergarden education (no shock therer) so she gets to stay at her current school. Plus she still has 1 more year with her teacher before she graduates to the next age group. Very happy about that, I thought she was graduating this year and got all bummed but shes not so I'm happy!

Angelique Reweti has vivid memories of meeting Princess of Wales.
It was more than 30 years ago but Angelique Reweti still vividly remembers the moment she met a young Diana, Princess of Wales.
At the time Mrs Reweti was an 8-year-old dancer in a production of the New Zealand Ballet's Coppelia, which Diana and her husband attended at Auckland's St James Theatre.
Being chosen to deliver a bouquet of flowers to the Princess was the thrill of a lifetime.
"It is still really fresh in my memory," recalled Mrs Reweti, 39.
"I remember all the TV cameras and photographers ... she was a real Princess, and when you are an 8-year-old, that's the stuff of fairytales.
"She was wearing the most beautiful lilac gown and she glided in on the red carpet. It was literally like a fairytale coming to life."
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

Mrs Reweti spoke to the Herald with her six-month-old son on her knee. Now working in Maori health, she and her husband have settled in Palmerston North.
"I went up and had to do a little curtsy, and I couldn't believe she was speaking to me. It seemed to me like she had the voice of an angel.
"She just said, 'Are you dancing tonight?'. I said yes I was, and she said she was looking forward to seeing me dance. And I remember Prince Charles was standing by her side, but I was more enthralled with Princess Diana."
The St James is now boarded-up in a state of disrepair. In 1983 the theatre's management had worked furiously to attempt to rid the venue of the after-effects of vandalism the day before the royals arrival. Foul-smelling liquid had been spilled throughout the theatre.
"I remember the smell, it smelled of rotten fish," Mrs Reweti said. "Security was really tight."
A baby to care for means it's unlikely Mrs Reweti will get to see the next generation of royals.
"It really was a big deal back then. I think people are interested now, but it's not quite the same," Mrs Reweti said. "It was huge, I remember we had time off school and all the schoolchildren were waving in the streets."
Where to see the royals
Monday, April 7: Wellington Public drive to Government House via Oriental Bay.
Thursday, April 10: Blenheim/Wellington Lay wreath at War Memorial, Seymour Square and public walk; WWI event and Flying Day at Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.
Friday, April 11: Auckland Public walk/drive along Halsey St to the Viaduct Harbour.

RDRC Joins Smith In Money Deal For Druggies
State Senator Malcolm Smith, who has attempted to push large amounts of public money into a nonprofit anti-drug program that is run by two convicted drug dealers, has now brought the Rockaway Development and Revitalization Corporation into the mix, state officials say.
Earlier this year, Smith selected the King of Kings Foundation, which is run by ex-con brothers Lance and Todd Feurtado, to receive a $500,000 grant under his $4 million anti-violence, anti-drug, anti-gang program that he calls Operation SNUG.
Smith announced Operation SNUG at a Rockaway press conference two years ago.
A Daily News story about King of Kings published at the time called the organization "barely existent," and run out of the Jamaica apartment of Lance Feurtado. When the state's justice division balked at giving the money to the unproven program, however, Smith, who is under investigation by both state and federal officials for a variety of reasons, went looking for a respectable organization to funnel the money to the duo and to keep a check on how the money is spent.
Enter the Rockaway Development and Revitalization Corporation, which has offices in Far Rockaway.
Under a deal arranged by Smith's office, the RDRC will serve as the "fiscal management and oversight office" for the King of Kings Foundation.
John Caher, a spokesperson for the state's Division of Criminal Justice Services, told the Daily News that the foundation "didn't have any experience and didn't have a track record."
As for the RDRC, Caher said, "It's a well-established organization. With [the RDRC] in charge of the business management, we feel more comfortable."
The $500,000 funding is on top of a $25,000 grant Smith sought for the duo in 2008 and $290,000 in federal funding steered to the organization by Congressman Gregory Meeks.
The foundation was lauded in a promotional video by the Reverend Floyd Flake, an ex-Congressman who was a mentor for both Smith and Meeks.
Flake, Smith and Meeks have been closely tied together by the state's Inspector General in a scheme to get control of the Aqueduct Racino for a group that included Flake as an investor.
Smith spokesperson Austin Shafran defended the grants, telling the News that the two ex-cons "bring a powerful message to youth."
"Ex-offenders who have been given a second chance and have now made good on that second chance are really the appropriate people to teach others about the horrors of gang and gun violence," Shafran told Daily News reporter Glenn Blain.
The Feurtado brothers were busted in 1995 on federal drug charges. Todd was released in 2002 and Lance in 2004. Their foundation was incorporated in 2006 and reports virtually no assets, state records show.
The grant comes at a time when the state faces a $9 billion budget deficit and plans to begin laying off state workers.
"This is no time to give money to groups that may be well-intentioned but have no track record," said State Senator Martin Golden."
Kevin Alexander, the executive director of the RDRC, admitted to The Wave that the program was out of his organization's "comfort zone," but that what it had been doing to curb drug and gun violence in Far Rockaway was not working.
"This is a credible program that we will be bringing to Redfern," Alexander said. "It's a great opportunity to curb what's happening with our youth."
"The foundation has been grass roots and informal up to now," he added, "but we're going to provide the structure and allow them to build capacity. We understand that there are pitfalls in taking them on, but the board and I discussed the situation and decided that what we were doing was not working and had to try something different."
State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has to approve the contract as does the State Controller.

Many students first meet Glenn early in thier Ashland experience either at a preview event or applying for scholarship. Having earned a degree from Ashland Theological Seminary himself, Glenn knows the importance of feeling confident in your choice of seminary. He was drawn to ATS because of its diversity in people, denominations and experiences. It was this diversity that indicated to Glenn that Ashland is about transformation, rather than indoctrination.
Upon his graduation from ATS, Glenn intended to move on to a new location, particularly hoping for a climate with warmer winters. However, God opened doors for him to begin working in the Enrollment Office, and he found that he loves the process of helping students discover their calling.
Glenn and his wife, Sarah, have become mentors and surrogate parents to many students, using their incredible gift of hospitality to make others feel at home in Ashland. Whether they are cheering on the seminary intramural teams, making a delicious meal for hungry students, leading a small group, or hosting a student in their home, the Blacks are an indispensable and much-appreciated part of the ATS community.

News: Centegra Health System earns echo lab accreditation
The Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories(ICAEL) has granted accreditation to Centegra Hospital-McHenry and Centegra Hospital-Woodstock. The Centegra echo labs are now among the growing number of echocardiography laboratories in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico to be recognized for their commitment to high quality patient care and their provision of quality diagnostic testing.
"Cardiac structure and the flow of information provided by echocardiographic testing is useful in the detection and management of many types of heart disease," said Dr. Paresh Rawal, an independent cardiologist on the medical staff at Centegra Health System and medical director of echocardiography. "Echocardiography is a complex imaging technique that relies on the experience and training of a physician and sonographer. Centegra associates use outstanding interpretive and technical abilities to determine the diagnostic accuracy of an echocardiographic exam and this accreditation confirms that commitment to quality."
The ICAEL was established with the support of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE), the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the Society of Pediatric Echocardiography (SOPE) to provide a peer review mechanism to encourage and recognize high quality patient healthcare. Participation in the accreditation process is voluntary. Accreditation status signifies that a facility has been reviewed by an independent agency that recognizes a lab's commitment to quality testing for the diagnosis of heart disease."
The residents of McHenry County should feel secure knowing that Centegra has developed a university-medical-center-quality cardiac program right here in McHenry County and remains dedicated to providing the highest-quality, vital healthcare services to the residents in our community," said Rachel Sebastian, vice president of service line operations at Centegra Health System."The heart and imaging teams at Centegra have worked diligently to bring this much-needed echo lab to the county and the number of patients we have helped to save since its inception have proven the need and has shown the difference we have made in lives of so many," said John Heinrich, director of medical imaging at Centegra Health System.Both Centegra Hospital-McHenry and Centegra Hospital-Woodstock have received Chest Pain Center Accreditation from the Society of Chest Pain Centers (SCPC), an international organization dedicated to eliminating heart disease as the number one cause of death worldwide.

A new drug called repinotan blocks the respiratory depressant effects of morphine-like opioid drugs -- without altering their potent pain-relieving effects, according to a study in the October issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, official journal of the International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS).
If the promising results of animal studies are borne out by future research, then repinotan could become an important part of safe, effective pain control after surgery. The new study was led by Dr. Ulf Guenther of University of Ulm, Germany.
Subcutaneous Oxygen Levels during Surgery Predicts Later Infection Risk The researchers performed a series of experiments to see how repinotan influenced the effects of morphine. Although morphine and related drugs (opioids) are highly effective in treating pain after surgery, they share a common characteristic: they decrease the drive to breathe. This is a potentially serious side effect that can limit the use of opioid drugs for pain control.
In the study, rats were given a morphine dose high enough to slow the breathing rate. When the animals were subsequently treated with repinotan, their respiratory rate rapidly returned toward normal.
At the same time, repinotan did not alter the pain-blocking effects of morphine. This is especially important because, although other drugs are available to reverse the respiratory depressant effects of opioids, they also reverse the pain-relieving effects.
There were no serious cardiovascular side effects with repinotan, although it did cause a drop in blood pressure.
"For years, investigators have tried to develop an opioid that produced the profound analgesia of morphine, but without the effects on breathing rate," explains Dr. Steven L. Shafer of Columbia University, Editor-in-Chief of Anesthesia & Analgesia. More recently, specific types of drugs have been developed that selectively reverse morphine-induced depression of breathing. Repinotan is the first drug of this type that has proven suitable for studies in humans.
"This is an incredibly exciting development in opioid pharmacology," Dr. Shafer adds. "A drug that blocks the ability of opioids to suppress breathing, while not interfering with the pain relief, would be a huge advance in pain management and patient safety. Unless the drug had other toxicities, such a drug would immediately become the standard of care for post-operative patients receiving opioids."

Dempster joins Mut and Merloni to discuss pitching in the AL, the Red Sox clubhouse, his glove twitch, and gives a Fat Bastard impersonation.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster nice enough to join us harrah's half are you supposed to join us I -- -- how are you. I'm courier are colleges doing great meant to -- you know here at Thursday.

At a different rate per nine this year ridiculous. I'm just trying to get adjusted the American League you know. If the house are you -- because as -- leader no pitchers throw. -- I don't know why it's competent curiosity. And -- -- -- I like. Who hurt the child -- -- near those older it was great. Remember. Airport -- I think. Aggregate for the most part -- -- get ahead of hitters more than anything when you do that you can expand the strike zone enough. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You know be a convenient shortcut because of it you know I'm sure there's going to be games. You know he -- that stretch in game -- don't strike many people are so. I'm not I don't really read too much into -- they're straight or throw it overrated but there's they're nice to get Europe they're based parts throughout. Do you -- said he made a joke about -- the American League do you think that that couple of months or month that plus with Texas -- that help you last year. So you not gone completely into a new league there was an experienced last year against the Yale. I think it's too the first three start kinda made -- wake up and make an adjustment I think all. You know into my first street circuit -- -- and into those starts you know -- round and round again and it. Just gotta say heroic character interpreted some more quality pitches and I -- -- you know that is is where it comes down to is that. You don't get separated the bottom of the line up you know that you that you can get it started to break a one hitter would have an -- nationally -- better. And I won't you can almost start -- around seven or better. -- not maybe give them something great it knowing that. You know a couple that you have the patriots who -- runner on third base you -- based on that I'd be the situation for you don't upended the audio or. Certainly you don't get and so yeah -- All we pitch after quality -- into unit. You don't get ahead and and limit your walks keeping the baton. But I did you think being in numerically in just sitting at least that realizing acted to -- -- just pitch to different types of lineups like you just said was are different style and a lot of people in the National League it's always been the stigma that they they challenge you more. New guy comes horse that won a change of maybe Nazi and was was there some different there's well. Yeah I don't know maybe a little bit more patient at times you know it started -- him very strategic in -- you know each team. Each individual -- corporate -- as well who do you find that he's there are approaches what it would do what they wanna. The other sense and I think. No you're right -- one team you know you look at Oakland army -- -- currency market return we have it looked 32 count two count. Well a lot of issues workers on the candidacy was more of swinging team they develop -- -- in the count your first pitch hit the sort. You know those things they.

That we believe the you know have a handle -- it from local poppy that you bring a guy you'd certainly for now that we -- despite slight everybody aren't. It just makes your team all a stronger person that DH. You know hold on hold other bonafide Internet. We're talking a Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster. I saw that if you. You listed seven reasons why you had the glove twitch during your wind up one in which was more important effect when you can -- the catcher -- mid pitch or. The fact the love the smell leather that fresh leather smells really good. That special other smelling like not -- you know when you're up trouble mountains. It's just great that -- -- -- even underneath played golden ages mixed reduce our element it's nearly half the Kurdistan and -- -- -- -- -- -- my career. I'll tell you what you're one Allard says he saved your career by point this out he comes of all of those every Friday and eat. Part of -- TV and with us you know nightclub twitch that was my idea eight. He still picture because of that beat east take all the credit for that. Get out of her very much like if you don't appreciate his help -- -- you know I'm not that -- count is. Is simple and all of that he achieved -- yet to meet. Aren't these two one you move it a little bit I don't think he thought I was gonna. He. One trip of the globe. And and stuff like that so it was. It was. Kind of turned into what it is now but -- you know that was civility -- minority leader not. You know give them to do it duke will -- it's not a good idea I got a team do it is -- Now he gets it he drags everybody so you gotta give some back to him what's -- why don't we last year we talked about this team and and I have talked W coming here in the just -- the attitude to have some fun joking but still work in and I felt like overall the -- some time to themselves too serious and accountability last year and has been lacking. You -- hard luck starter here you look at -- we pitched much better than that there's never excuses. -- accountability always want try to make a better if that is something that you've always believed did in India talked the other guys about that is well. Yeah a lot of I think it is it's you know it's always easy to make an excuse for whoever we're always see you Bob. To go and maybe -- India certainly but at the end of the day. In what did you do year drop. That error. And you know that's how I look at it it I was really fortunate it -- to Greg -- members sit on the bench -- 2004. And political pitchers are just talking about -- and you know he -- -- here in the car each network or your arm. He is -- look though it was curtains and a winning game one and not. And and it's true that the truth -- a Palm -- you're you're not gonna get any runs in the old days. That you got -- got to wait it out pitched the other guy. So when you lose a game. 21 or there's two run that country somewhere -- economy better pitches in that double -- were probably on and in. On the you know whether it's you know throughout the run on the -- and defense your hitting pitching your summary of -- and we're all accountable and so. We look at ourselves first and -- it -- not done better. You know it and and relied thirteen it to execute the same thing I think more for the thirteen -- though. Every every guy on the team at the same thing we all saying what we've done better. Look prudent for the next -- I think that's a huge thing and accountability goes along way and when you see your of their teammates being accountable. It makes you feel more probable appreciate get an increase I upon. One of the stories I loved us spring training Ryan was one the -- and John Ferrell behind clay -- to the stop watch because there were times last year where. Clay would really slow down just 2628. Seconds sometimes between pitches and he's with a stop watch he's clock continue does speed up -- speed up. Do you believe and at that pace -- do you believe the you have to have an active pace a quick pace sustain again it helps a pitcher throughout the course of the game. Yeah I think you cultural lottery in -- to help solemn. I think it helps your own rhythm and the pitcher. This could be times because there's going to be on three -- take a -- these are all article killer might do when your life you -- are trapped. But he keeps -- killer on their toes making good plate umpire is right and going. No I think apart like it when guys were quick story continues the current don't you're doing quicker patient like that pitched that. You know maybe is without the -- maybe to stop later looks like it out all label because you're you're working quick you are straight Sony they technical pitches. And who doesn't give -- time to really process. You know what what -- -- -- shave they'd be experts were older. That you know it's not like fourteen or fifteen seconds did it -- -- process. Actually it's just through what it it -- broke up so you can make a pitch -- -- also injured not really given that -- that edged -- that there. And say okay what are the forty stroke don't you look at -- -- -- a box to not than any more than what pitchers were quick to step out there are a -- You know I just I just firmly believing that have always been a guy that tried to work pretty quick and and get out there and get the ball go one and you know -- -- believe it's beneficial. Yeah it is as the my problem currently is to be about 20/20 five seconds. To really look at about it and I had some issues there the -- of an -- -- -- of reporters and radio guys in the team but last year when it was like that. Hard to believe that that the team.

preping for new lawn, had problems in the past
I'm in Sacramento, CA and have 2 very large trees on the South edge of my property, Elm and Sycamore(?sp) that hide the sun from my lawn area for most of the day. I tried seeding with HD stuff and didn't have very good results.
I've killed the lawn, tilled it up, installed a pond, and auto sprinklers. I'm getting ready to regrow a new lawn.
One other problem was a weed thing that has small (larger than a pea) sized white seeds a few inches below ground. I'd like to kill everything and don't know if tilling and raking up the dead woud be enough to kill things off.
Would I be better off starting with some weed kill before I start a new lawn?
What seeds should I be looking at?
I'd like something durable as I have a dog, the yard is mostly shaded.
I'd rather go with seeds as sod might be out of the budget.
You really want to get a shade mix. The good thing about a mix is you have differnt species that can handle different conditions, diseases, etc.
Get a shade mix, that has a variety of course and fine fescues. Plant in the early fall, since you'll have less leaves on the trees and the grass will have it's best shot to get growing with the extra sunlight. Prune some branches as well if it's really dark, or you may just be wasting your time.
When you mow, cut at the highest setting so you have as much surface area as possible at all times, this will give the grass a better chance to catch the sunlight that comes through.
A lot of people think that shaded lawns need more fertilizer since they get less sunlight. this is not true, shaded lawns need about half, so don't go crazy with fertilizer, and when you do fert, make sure you use a product like "winterizer" that is formulated primarily for root growth

Drake takes Nicki snack shopping
So this is what Drake means by the album title, Take Care.
Nicki Minaj just dropped this quick, entertaining 1 minute clip of Drake taking her snack shopping while on the set of her and Usher's new video "She Came To Give It To You" (which dropped today).
Or perhaps this is payback for the "Anaconda" video?
Theorize your own underlying Drake motive here.

Ruger #1 in 6.5-284 Review
Ruger #1 in 6.5-284
By John Johnston
Bill Ruger, 1916-2002, was and will always be a giant in the firearms industry. Like those who lived through the great depression era, he had a tremendous work ethic. Along with firearms he loved to collect fine old cars. He loved the fine lines of these cars. Even though his first firearm design was a pistol, his baby was the Ruger #1. He would listen to hunters and shooters for ideas. There were a lot of hunters that would appreciate a rifle that they could carry in the woods on stalks which might possibly end in a single well placed shot on their game. Bill Rugers ability to listen to the needs and desires of shooters and hunters was one of his great attributes.
Ruger #1 ready to head out for a hunt.
The Ruger #1 is loosely based on the Farquharson rifle. It is a hammerless falling block by design. The safety is conveniently located on the tang making it a rifle for both left and right handed shooters. The barrel is held on a hanger type system with the forearm attached by one screw at an angle which is a typical Ruger design. The angle pulls the forearm to the hanger. Being a single shot, the action is short, cutting off approximately four inches from the length of a typical bolt action.
The rifle tested was chambered in a new caliber for Ruger, 6.5-284, made popular by the long range shooters and hunters. The one I received was one of the first off the assembly line. It was so new that Ruger had to wait to find factory ammunition for proof testing. As soon as I found out that Ruger was coming out with this caliber I was on the phone with the marketing folks. This is one of those rifles that really excited me and that is not easy these days with rifles. When it arrived finally I had several reloads ready to go.
The Rugers under barrel forearm hanger.
The powders used were the H4831SC, H4350, IMR4350, RL22 and RL19. The bullets I chose were in the 120-142 grain range from various manufactures. This Ruger #1V was scoped with a Leupold 4.5x14 CDS scope. This choice was by design because if this rifle shot well, it would be with me opening day of deer season 2013. After sighting the rifle in at one hundred yards; the load, shoot, load, shoot began till I found that sweet spot which the rifle really liked. First thing I observed was the 6.5-284 preferred the H4831SC. With a twenty-six inch barrel velocities were very sufficient. The worst group this rifle shot was right at one inch for five rounds. Lapua brass was used for all testing and you cannot get much better brass.
The 6.5-284 has a bad rap for being a barrel burner. I suppose if you ran maximum plus rounds through the barrel at a very quick succession; your barrel may not last long, especially if you are shooting for extremely small groups. The #1 is a hunters rifle and I doubt the average hunter will shoot eight hundred to a thousand rounds through the barrel during the life time of the rifle. I ended up picking two loads for this rifle. The best load was 51gr. of H4831SC under a 140gr Berger VLD/hunting bullet with an OAL of 3.21. It would shoot a group of five shots in .389 inch at 2748fps. The Berger 130gr VLD/hunting over 52gr. H4831SC with a 3.19 OAL shot .411 five shot group at 2851fps. You might ask why I do not shoot target bullets. I shoot the bullets that I would use. This rifle will be used for hunting. I did shoot several Hornadys, Nosler BTs and Barnes. Each did extremely well and the group sizes were almost as tight as the Bergers. Now it was time for me to decide what to have the Leupold engrave on the CDS dial. I chose the 130 gr. Berger. Since most of my hunting is for Texas size whitetail, the 130gr Berger gave me velocity, accuracy and enough terminal velocity for deer. If I ever decide to take it on an elk hunt, it will be easy enough to call Leupold and have a new dial engraved.

Watch: Trailer for Canadian Horror The Conspiracy
Out in Canadian cinemas on July 19th, Chris MacBride's debut thriller follows a fictional documentary about conspiracy theories that take a horrific turn after the filmmakers uncover an ancient and dangerous secret society. Mysterious stuff indeed.
To get a better idea of what it's all about watch the trailer above as well as the new, even more enigmatic trailer below.
If you're still scratching your head, here's some more info from the film's press release:
When two young filmmakers select a crazed conspiracy theorist as the subject of their new work the task seems simple enough: Befriend him, gain his trust, and let his theories speak for themselves. But things prove more complicated than that. Despite his street preaching their subject proves to be an articulate and intelligent man. One prone to seeing patterns others do not, yes, but hardly the expected lunatic. Listen long enough and his arguments even start to make a certain sort of sense. It's enough to make you wonder if maybe, somewhere, there's some basis to what he's saying.
And then he simply disappears. No word. No trace. Just gone.
While one of the filmmaking duo is prepared to walk away the other becomes obsessed. This should not be possible. People do not just disappear. Not unless someone wants them to. What if he was correct? What if he was on the verge of exposing some greater scheme? And what if he was taken? And so begins an obsessive effort to reconstruct his work, an effort that points the duo to a high powered retreat and networking organization for the political and business elite.
A meticulously researched and cannily constructed bit of work THE CONSPIRACY systematically blurs the lines between fact and fiction, deconstructing the distinction between facts and news, news and propaganda. THE CONSPIRACY is more than just entertainment. It is a sly commentary of a world in which the medium really has become the message, a world in which the most important question is not "What happened?" but "Who is telling us?"

unsupported ends of drywall.
I was just reading elsewhere that drywall can go up to 2' on the ends unsupported. is this right?
I know we used to not worry if there was no support for say 3" on an inside or outside corner. But 2 feet?:eek:
How far would you allow.
Reason I ask is beacause I may have a corner where I go 12" unsupported on an inside corner. Pipes and all land right where the inside corner would go.
I could use some metal straps and run from stud to stud and screw to these.
Still wonder how far can you fo on the end of a sheet to an inside or outside corner unsupported?
I've heard the same thing......
I recall a link (from Oh'Mike or DM I think) regarding drywall....something about that it's better to let one corner 'float'....i.e., don't nail/screw it....just let the other sheet push on it.
But, then again....I'm getting old....my memory could be going...
ddawg - the idea of floating I have seen and used at the ceiling. No screws within 7" of edge of room. ON corners I know some use drywall clips. and there is no stud.
Brain fart - I could use clips.
But the article wasn't talking of using clips just tape and mud. in 2' the drywall would flex too much as you tape it.
you can float the drywall up to 2' if you are butting a wall board up to it to support it. some do this because the most movement is the corners and the most common nail pop in a new home is in the corner. so floating and allowing the corner to move just a weeeee bit makes it nail pop free. i personally cant bring myself to doing this i normally put my first screw 4-6" away from the corner. and like what mae-ling said he goes 7". i dont think there is any real rule to an exact measurement that your suppose to just dont screw right in the corner.
with the ceiling I understand gravity pulls it down and the wall boards support it.
But on an interior or exterior corner? How far from the corner till you want support?
I would never "float" drywall 2'. I MIGHT go 12" (prefer nothing over 6" - 8"), depending on the situation. Can you post a pic of the area?? There's usually some way to get some sort of backing in there, even if it's not structural. That will help prevent movement that may cause tape to crack later. If necessary, you could frame out a "column" around the pipes.....

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
ARF is always looking for new animal lovers to join us. We need caring people who are interested in devoting some time and effort to helping needy animals. Just a few hours a week can make a difference in the life of an animal. When you give animals the gift of your time, you'll get back as much as you give—maybe even more.
Animal Rescue Foundation
54 Simmons Lane
Beacon, NY 12508
Hours: Wednesday and Thursday 5-7 PM and
Saturday 2-6 PM
Cats & Kittens..................$100 & up
Puppies............................$325 & up
Dogs....................... ........$275 & up
All potential new homes must fill out an application and come into the shelter to meet the animal they are interested in. Sorry, we will not "ship" animals nor hold an animal for anyone. All prospective homes must be interviewed. Thanks for your understanding. We're open Wed and and Thurs 5-7 PM and Sat 2-6 PM.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
WESTERN UNIONInternet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am stationed overseas and my family member needed money to pay a bill. So I decided that sending money via Western Union would be a great option. Being that I work long hours and limited access to phones, I thought that my best option would be to send funds via the internet. After setting up an account and successfully sending the transfer, I decided to check my bank account(which is a habit). I noticed that Western Union had charged me twice for the same transaction. I then called the Western Union rep to notify them of the bogus charge. To make a long story short, the representative basically told me that she could not see where they had charged my card at all. I told the rep that I was looking at my bank statement and that I also had a pick up confirmation ant that it would be impossible for them to NOT charge my card and have a successful pick up confirmation. I feel disgusted because whenever you utilize a service such as Western Union, you instill trust in their ability to not rip you off. This is the first and the last time that I will ever use western union. I just want to make people aware that they should watch out for this. Obviously there is a problem with thier internet transactions. So comsumers be aware.
