For center Mike Ribeiro, the potency of Washington's league-leading power play is all about options. He and fellow center Nicklas Backstrom can pass to captain Alex Ovechkin for a devastating one timer near one of the faceoff circles. They can feed the puck to wing Troy Brouwer in front of the net. Or they swing it to defenseman Mike Green for a powerful slap shot from the point.
"It makes teams vulnerable," Ribeiro explained. "They don't know which way to go."
He doesn't need to tell Washington's first-round opponent that. On the eve of the fourth playoff series in five years between the Capitals and Rangers, New York has made keeping Washington's power-play unit off the ice its biggest point of emphasis entering Game 1, which should create a dueling subplot throughout.
The Capitals converted at a 26.8 percent rate on the power play this year, and the league's second-best unit (Pittsburgh) was two percentage points behind. The Rangers, meanwhile, committed the fewest penalties in the NHL, and the hope is their disciplined approach can neuter Washington's attack.
The power play has been Washington's one true constant during a season in which it started so poorly (2-8-1) and ended on such a hot streak (15-2-2). Along the way, the Capitals racked up 44 goals with the man advantage and generated just 63.7 percent of their goals via even-strength play. Amongst playoff teams, only Detroit generated less of its offense playing five on five this year.
"I think going into the playoffs special teams always play a big part, but playing a team that's red hot on the power play, we know we can't take too many penalties and we also know special teams will play a huge part," Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist said Monday. "It's a lot of times also when you play five on five it's so tight, a lot of times games are decided on the PK and power play."
Added Rangers forward Rick Nash: "You win the special teams game, you have a good chance to win the actual games. That's why we've kind of keyed on it."
How that manifests itself beginning Thursday remains to be seen. The Rangers were 23rd in the NHL on the power play and ranked 15th on the penalty kill this season, although they did score nine of their 24 power-play goals during the month of April.
New York Coach John Tortorella spent a considerable amount of time working on the power play during Monday's practice session, but he rarely divulges tidbits about his game plan, especially once the Stanley Cup playoffs role around. He doesn't discuss injuries and there's no telling how he'll defend Alex Ovechkin this time around (some in New York believe the Rangers might break up its top defensive pairing Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh to create more balance throughout the lineup).
But Washington Coach Adam Oates credits Ovechkin's resurgence, and the renewed confidence of players like Backstrom and Green, to the success they've all had on the power play this year. As Ribeiro pointed out, though, penalties often decrease in the playoffs and it adds pressure to convert the power play opportunities that are available.
It certainly has New York's attention at this point.
"They've got Green back healthy and he's a huge weapon out there," Rangers defenseman Marc Staal said. "Their power play, the last six years the same guys seem to be on it and they know what they're doing."

City of Elmhurst Electric Aggregation Program
Electricity Aggregation Program - April, 2017 Update
While the aggregation program has been extremely successful during the first two years (average resident savings have been in excess of $335), the recently approved ComEd rates are lower than the City's aggregation's pricing of 7.51 cents/kWh.
View Elmhurst vs ComEd Rate and Savings History
The ComEd rates usually change twice a year. The summer rate is effective June through September and the non-summer rate is for the months of October through May. The non-summer rate was 6.388 cents/kWh (effective October, 2016 through December 2016). The current rate is 6.318 cents/kWh (effective Januray, 2017 through May, 2017). The rates do not include the variable Purchased Electricity Adjustment (PEA) charge. The variable PEA can be a credit or a charge of a maximum 0.5 cents/kWh each month resulting in monthly price swings up to 1.0 cent/kWh. Therefore, the ComEd rate ranged from 5.69¢ to 6.69¢ until September, 2016, then from 5.888¢ to 6.888¢ for the period of October, 2016 through December, 2016, and from 5.818¢ to 6.818¢ for the period of January, 2017 through May, 2017. The PEA has averaged .054 cents/kWh charge for the last 71 months. However, for the last 12 months, the PEA has averaged .052 cents/kWh credit.
View PEA History
Unlike the ComEd rate, 50% of the City's energy consists of energy from renewable sources. The City's rate of 7.51¢ includes a premium to purchase this "green" energy.
Residents are free to leave the aggregation program at any time with no early termination fees. Even if residents leave the program, they can later re-join the aggregation at the same rate should they so choose. The City's aggregation rate of 7.51¢ will be available through the summer of 2017. Should a resident leave the aggregation program and move to ComEd or any other supplier, the resident is free to return to the City's aggregation program after a period of six months. With new switching rules in effect, you can switch as often as you like, the only restriction is you cannot return to the most recent supplier for a period of six months.
Any resident desiring to move to ComEd should contact Constellation Energy, the City's current electric aggregation supplier, at 1-844-309-6307. Have your account number when you place the call.
Residents can find alternative priced rates from other suppliers and additional information regarding municipal aggregation at the State of Illinois' website: www.PlugInIllinois.org.
Residents with questions can call our consultant, NIMEC, at 1-800-727-3820.
In summary, the City aggregation program has no early termination fees, 50% of the City's energy is "green" energy (from renewable sources) and the rate is 7.51 cents/kWh. The ComEd rate for the period June, 2016 through May, 2017 will range from 5.69¢ to 6.818¢. Residents are free to return to ComEd (or other suppliers) at any time. Should residents leave the City's program, they are free to return after a period of six months (at the same rate) before summer of 2017, by calling Constellation Energy at 1-844-309-6307.Electric Aggregation Program May 2014

Edit. I just found (3 weeks from today), that I was here yesterday. So please ignore any previous statements that I have made (or will make).
I'm here, but I shouldn't. Should be outside taking my dogs for a run: it's sunny and beautiful outside and I'm staring at the screen hoping a magical solution will popup for any little issue I've got left on this **** PC. I even start reading the off-topic forum ....
Ok I'm done for! LOL.
Take my example folks - leave the computer at least for a couple of hours and go outside and enjoy the day!
Sorry, you guys were a good base for me to build my computer knowledge. But, i have expanded my wings into the more darker side of computers. I'm busy with more reading and more harder problems of hacking. I will not be on to often to see whats happening. =[ . But yet i will be on to see how everyones doing. BTW geek u ever think about making a IRC room. To just idle / talk with the memebers.

Second graders learn math by creating YouTube videos
AMMON, Idaho - Idaho joined 46 states across the country in celebrating "Digital Learning Day."
State education leaders say digital learning is a huge part of the 21st Century classroom. The idea is to highlight the innovative teaching taking place in some Idaho classrooms.
A group of second grade students are writing, filming and putting together music videos to help them learn math.
Afterward, they upload it to YouTube with the hopes of teaching others what they've learned.
Mrs. Jennifer Duckwall's class isn't just full of 7 and 8 year-olds, it's full of YouTube stars. Their 66 videos on the popular video site have more than 30,000 views.
"It seemed like a match to have them do something exciting to teach other children around the globe about math," said Duckwall.
Whenever the kids learn something new in math, they put together a video. They do all of the writing, editing and producing themselves.
"They storyboard it out and they draw pictures of themselves, and they dialogue it out then they practice it," said Duckwall. "They try to find the best way to teach other children."
The kids said a video takes about a week to film, and the whole class has to chip in. The group's video on geometry is one of their most popular, with close to 8,000 hits.
"I was doing the rapping sometimes and showing the shapes," said Brailey Green, a student.
Duckwall said technology in the classroom isn't just limited to one device. Her students use apps, texting, and even Google Earth in their studies.
"Technology does not mean computers in the classroom; which is what it's always pretty much been," said Duckwall. "It's been, here's your computer, here's your classroom. That's not what it's about."
"I think they will know geometry better and it will be easier for them to do geometry because it's a fun way to learn," said Green.
Duckwall said after incorporating digital technology, like those videos, the average math score in her second grade classroom puts her students at a 5th and 6th grade competency.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Maofan7, Oct 24, 2012.
New article on Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford. Reads:-
I also posted a second Duhamel/Radford article published by northernlife.ca (includes video) in the Canadian Pairs thread earlier today:
Sure S/S have made mistakes and have not always given strong performances (particularly this past season with Aliona's illness [and/ or some injuries] limiting their training time, and their music and costume choices not panning out). However, I've never witnessed S/S falling apart in the sense of becoming unhinged. They generally always pull themselves together to finish strong whenever they make mistakes. Aliona and Robin under Steuer's tutelage have been the gold standard in pairs skating practically since they first came on the scene. As has been said, S/S and S just don't get enough credit.
You think Tatiana and Max "under-performing" is gonna take many points away, particularly in Sochi? Didn't happen last season, and the odds are that it won't this coming season. In any case, I wouldn't bet on V/T "under-performing" leading up to the Olympics, and particularly not in their home arena. They had a poorly conceived sp in 2011-2012, and performed it sloppily at 2012 Worlds, but did you happen to see how they performed their fp in Nice under tremendous pressure???
Yes, yes let's light candles in hopes every skater stays healthy. Let's pray everyone's strong enough for the battle to be joined on the ice instead of in our or the judges' minds. And well, Robin S ain't that old either! Heh, heh.
Yeah sure Zhao had injuries leading up to 2006 Olympics, but it was more Totmianina/ Marinin skating while Russian, and the Zhangs coming back from a fall to mesmerize perplexed judges that happened to Shen/ Zhao in 2006. And in any case, Shen/ Zhao and Pang/ Tong happened to S/S at 2010 Olympics. I don't feel sorry for Zhao, nor for Robin. Huge talent, admirable tenacity, huge accomplishments from both of them.
BTW, Duhamel/ Radford are the real deal. Their 2012 Canadian Nationals fp sent chills up my spine. That experience and those magical moments they shared with us are pure and joyful evidence of what figure skating is all about at its essence!!!
I like them, but am I the only one annoyed with how articles always focus on Meagan? I just want to tell her to let Eric speak or get some spotlight once and a while.
Awww ..., they seemed pretty equal and well-balanced as a team during their TSL interview. Mayhap Eric has a less outgoing personality, but no less interesting. They certainly seem to understand themselves and each other very well.
Many of the articles are published in Duhamel's hometown paper. There were quite a few articles about Radford composing the music for their 2013-14 short program that were posted in the Canadian Pairs thread (posts #67-70), for example: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/sho...-and-updates&p=3884433&viewfull=1#post3884433
May 2nd article titled "Pair uses Radford's original score to pay tribute; Skater penned music following death of coach [Paul] Wirtz in 2006" (originally posted in the Program Music/Choreography thread): http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130429&content_id=46114776&vkey=ice_news
Link to the thread on D/R's joint interview with TSL before Worlds: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/sho...Duhamel-and-Radford&highlight=Radford+Duhamel
Thanks to one and all for the links to the articles. My BiL and Sister were here all weekend and when that happens, Good Luck seeing anything on the news, as he flips between five different broadcasts in the space of a minute and yet seems to think he's well informed. Anyway....Knowing MCTV as I do, it wouldn't shock me if they didn't cover it. That station's gone so downhill, it's sad.
So thanks so much for those links!!!
I think you are completely re-writing history here. Zhao had injuries is an understatement - he reptured his achilles tendon and they did not compete for a year. Their first competition back was the Olympic games - he was still in such pain he couldn't pick in properly in the back pivot in the death spiral. He was injured and they didn't skate how we all knew they could have done had he been injury free and had their training and health not been disrupted. I'm hardly a fan of Tomianina and Marinin but to suggest that they won because they are Russian, rather than because they were the best (if somewhat boring) at those games is ridiculous.
Who doesn't give them enough credit? They have dominated the field for some time and have four world titles as well as numerous other medals. For years only S&Z could best them, and P&T at the 2010 Olympics and Worlds. Fans appreciate them a lot and you don't hear much complaining that S&S with mistakes placed above a cleaner D&R.
Of course now V&T pose a threat, but S&S had a healthy dominance in the field for quite some time.
T&M had that competition won before they even skated. There was no way the Zhangs could beat them. And S&Z didn't skate their best, I don't remember any argument that they were robbed of the silver.
To be honest, I find them aesthetically lacking. They don't have a lot of finesse and aren't particularly well-matched physically. IMO M&M-T are artistically superior and have more of the wow factor.
Nonetheless, you can't deny the spunk and determination of D&R. The third spot in the world has been open for some time, and they just stepped up and took it.
But Pairs is a underwhelming at present, IMO.
I saw D&R perform last month at SOI and I was really amazed at how their artistry has improved and how they are making strides in matching lines. Huge improvement from Canadians in January. Underhill and Martini were also a team who was not well-matched physically, but time and training solved that problem. This is a team that shouldn't be underestimated.
This should read "Canadian federation buy the block for D & R". Horrific Politiking on their behalf since the season started. Puke.
Is this how you feel about the Kanadian Konspiracy? Or were you signing off, like in an e-mail? PeterG.
Sorry to disappoint you poths, but I'm just a plain old figure skating fan with no great expectations, but who is nevertheless impressed by the strides made by D&R.
Yes, I realize that Zhao suffered a serious injury and did not compete for a long while, but I didn't recall the particulars so thanks for clarifying what happened to them in more detail that 2005-2006 season. However, Totmianina/ Marinin, however boring, were (not dissimilar to V/T) skating while Russian leading up to the 2006 Olympics and thus in the long Russian pairs tradition received a lot of credit and support from the judges. It's unfortunate that Zhao was not at full strength, and so the battle was not effectively joined to see what the judges would have done with stellar performances by Shen/ Zhao vs zzzzz T/M. OTOH, I give T/M lots of credit for coming back from the near disastrous, potentially career-ending fall Tatiana experienced one season during an overhead lift.
It would be cool to see both V/T and S/S at their absolute best, and see what the judges would do in 2014. But since Sochi is the venue, if both teams skate out of this world, it's hard to envision judges not edging V/T for the victory.
And, back on topic, good luck to D/R ... their desire and hard work shows every time they take the ice.
They've improved so much since last year, but I still think the other Canadians M-T/M, with the right program and skate, have more potential against the top 2 teams....but i think the politicking is definitely for D/R.
^^ Maybe that's a discussion for a whole 'nother thread re comparing D/R vs M-T/M. Both teams are fairly on a par, although in a few respects it seems D/R edge out as a bit stronger. M-T/M had beautifully choreographed programs this past season, but I personally don't think they have "more potential" than D/R against the top 2 teams. As far as potential vs the top 2 pairs teams in the World, both Canadian teams are more likely about even, with D/R having a slight edge and especially so I suppose adding in the politics factor.
I agree with this. I loved MT&M's programs this past season and they skated really well. I think D&R have the technical edge, and the Cdn fed politicking as well. Too bad, though they are improving and I too acknowledge their spunk and determination.
I agree with you. I much prefer Kirsten and Dylan. They have more polish, IMO.
I like them both, I think they are both very strong teams who have both improved dramatically in the last two seasons, and I refuse to have to take sides. Why does this board so often degenerate into skater A vs. skater B?
Furhermore, some of the posts make it sound like Duhamel/Radford got the bronze at worlds, and Moore-Towers/Moscovitch got nothing. They placed 4th in the world, for goodness sakes!!! It's not a medal, but it's still a huge achievement and a strong vote of affirmation by the judges at worlds.
What other possible way does one have to release repressed rage?
So that fans from both sides can and each other! sells.
I'll take a wild guess in suggesting that perhaps it is because some prefer Skater A, while others prefer Skater B.
Like I said, seems as if heated comparisons are a topic for a whole 'nother thread, most likely in Trash Can.
Both teams are enjoyable to watch, and surely make all Canadians proud.
I admire both Canadian teams very much, with the edge (my personal preference) going to M-T-M. Wishing both teams great success in the Olympic season & beyond.
I don't get the comments about politicking for D&R - they were the repeat Cdn champions so therefore earned the usual PR that goes along with the title. Prior to Canadians no one is going to promote a team that didn't even make the national team the previous year. Third and fourth place finishes at Worlds means the two teams can be viewed pretty much as equals and make both teams serious challengers for Olympic medals. I loved MT&M's programs last year which helped their overall look tremendously, but two programs doesn't make them more artistic that D&R. D&R have an edge on the technical side, and have made great strides in their presentation, but MT&M are also very strong technical skaters. If both teams skate well at Cdns. I wouldn't even want to guess the winner. The Olympics is always a horse of a different colour, but I think both MT&M and D&R have earned the hype.
Restore Auto-Saved Content
^^ Right on.
No 'getting' to be had. Cries of "politiking" is just a way to express frustration with the success of a skater they don't like or enjoy watching.
When someone can lay out a skater's program and insightfully walk me through step by step why PCS and TES were scored incorrectly with regular reference to IJS then I sit up and take notice. (PS "I just don't feel an emotional connection to their skating" doesn't qualify as insightful analysis)
Until then...keep scrolling...
I like D&R but I think they will have a hard time mantaining a medal spot in the Olympics in Russia. The Russian teams and other top Europeans will be more favored in the scoring and Duhamel & Eric less than at Worlds in Canada. I am not saying they didnt deserve their medal, just that location makes a big difference when alot of skaters are close in a number of ways, including the energy of your performance level. They arent beating Volosozhar and Trankov unless they fall about 6 times. Silver will probably be the Germans. That leaves only the bronze available and 2 very strong Russians teams left, some strong Chinese, all going for that too.

U.S. Bank Pole Pedal Paddle: Where does the money go?
A look at the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation
BEND, Ore. - When you and thousands of others race in the U.S. Bank Pole Pedal Paddle, you're raising money for the Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation.
"It's our biggest fundraiser of the year," said Molly Cogswell-Kelley, financial development and events director for MBSEF.
The foundation offers programs for kids and young adults to get involved in outdoor activities. The money raised form the PPP plays an essential role.
"What that allows us to do is subsidize all the race training fees for over 550 youth athletes that we train throughout the year," Cogswell-Kelley said.
Young athletes just like Skyler Kenna, who got started with MBSEF when he was in seventh grade. He trains 500 hours a year with MBSEF.
His training schedule is based on a Norwegian plan. His dream is to one day be on the U.S. Olympic Nordic team.
"I think MBSEF really showed me a different level of skiing, and without them I probably wouldn't be where I am today," Kenna said.
Kenna has been alpine skiing for years, but his MBSEF coach introduced him to Nordic skiing.
Now he is returning the favor and is a coach for MBSEF, teaching kids to mountain bike.
"It's funny, because I'm trying to remember what it was like with my coach when I was little -- and now I'm the coach," Kenna said.
Kenna's next step: Joining the Elite Nordic Team at Alaska Pacific University. He said MBSEF was a huge stepping stone for his athletic career, and for so many kids to come.
"I think that's the most important part of MBSEF, building that fun relationship with outside and getting to enjoy the outdoors," Kenna said.

We are all vulnerable creatures.
Very often my life works its way into some heights that are not always where I'd prefer to be. Â One day our farm mascot was the subject of a "day of farm photos." Â In this spot it seemed so peaceful, so real, yet so vulnerable.
Vulnerable is walking into the unknown.
This was one of my most vulnerable moments. It was taken by me just as my boyfriend walked in the room. I was caught completely off guard and felt very vulnerable and a little embarrassed that he'd caught me taking pictures of myself.
I feel vulnerable living in the city.
I found this bird outside my front steps. It was covered with ants and although I normally avoid dead animals I felt particularly close to this one for some reason. I took many pictures of it and this one isn't my very favorite, notice the blur, but I do feel that it most fits the [...]

All of Palo Alto is so proud of you. I have been following your career closely since Paly days and this is like a dream come true. I've still got your Warriors Jersey to wear even if you found greener pastures outside of the area. Thanks for being a great model for me to point to for my boys.

Actually Franco went to Gunn HS. Lin would have gone to Gunn as well but his older brother was on the Gunn basketball team and was treated so poorly by the coach at that time that Jeremy requested a transfer to Paly.

Actually, Franco did NOT go to Gunn.....he was a 1996 Paly grad. Check the yearbook and every story ever written about him, that has a reference to his high school. He even attended a Paly reunion.

Your article mentions that former Palo Alto player David Weaver '93 will be attending the game this weekend. It's also worth noting that he played basketball at Harvard.

Jeremy was born in 1988, the year of dragon. This year he

headlight condensation
so i drove through a little river this past weekend and got a TON of condensation inside my headlights, both of them. :mad:
the only thing i did was change the bulbs to 6000k bulbs and thats about it... wondering what would make them build up so much water inside... any ideas? its really bugging me and would love to fix this, thanks.
me driving through the river
i mean if these damn things are "TRAIL RATED" i shouldnt have any of these issues!! rabble rabble rabble!!
I'm right there with ya dude! I did a few water crossings a few months ago and got water build up in both headlights. The passenger light went down when I left the high beams on for like 20 min. But the driver side is still bad. Now I have an excuse to take them apart and paint them. :)

Re: headlight condensation
Those headlights are mosly likely ruined, they are going to have dirt on the inside as well
Re: headlight condensation
Check the seals around the apertures the bulbs fasten in, if the seals are even slightly unseated, condensation will form. Found out the hard way after this little jaunt through some standing water:
When I hit the puddle at speed, like you did in your pic, water flew upwards into the engine with enough force to unseat the seals. These pics are from one of scottina06's posts, ignore the red arrow but take note of the rubber seals that cover the hid aperture and surround the high beam socket
Although the seals will look seated, just pull them off clean any dirt off the seal. Use a hair dryer, not condensed air form a pump or a tank, to dry the inside of the housing, then securely refasten the seals...lets try the easy solution first.
Re: headlight condensation
i dont want to take these things apart... i feel like they are already ruined. I will check the seals thats a good idea NO ONE.
i have a feeling that even with the seals set, this might happen again because now they are loose... i might just have to buy some new headlights and thats it.... i am going to be annoyed if they are dirty on the inside and i cant clean them.
Re: headlight condensation
The headlights are vented as well. So you could have splashed water in there some how.
Re: headlight condensation
hmmmm ... well when i drove through the river it was pretty cold out, once i made it across the Jeep was steaming like crazy since i got a whole bunch of cold water on my hot engine... maybe its because of that? My buddy went through the same thing in his Dodge Ram and his engine was steaming as well, no condensation! lame.
Re: headlight condensation
I cleaned the seals and pushed them on, problem solved. If the seals are too loose, there is likely an adhesive that will do the trick. No need to drop a wad of cash on new headlights unless yoyu are just looking for any excuse to upgrade. You do not have to justify it to us, we understand...you want OEM projectors or a reasonable facsimile.
Re: headlight condensation
Bake them in the oven to get the condensation out, see if there is any dirt on the inside, if not, seal them up like he^^ said and it's a done deal.
Re: headlight condensation
lol i dont want the projectors, they are WAY too much $$$... but i do appreciate the advice guys... I've been spending way too much money lately on crap so i think i'm going to take your guys advice and see if i can clean them out and maybe add a little more sealant somewhere... thanks y'all
another thing is... one of my headlights is out... on the one that works the condensation is practically gone... the other one is still there all over the damn place kus there is no heat... im gonna try leaving my brights on for a bit and see if that helps any

Throughout his career, New England—first Gloucester, later Maine, and finally Cape Cod—was the source for much of Hopper's subject matter. These coastal communities were popular destinations for artists, but the independent-minded Hopper remained distant from his colleagues, dryly noting, "[W]hen everyone else would be painting ships and the waterfront, I'd just go around looking at houses." He had a penchant for architectural styles of past centuries, especially the Victorian with its heavy ornamentation and mansard roofs. He rendered these houses with dramatic light and often in isolation. Along the coast of Maine, where Hopper visited in the late 1920s, he painted lighthouses, solitary beacons amid the landscape. Full of intrigue and mystery, Hopper's lighthouses surpass their utilitarianism and assume a commanding presence—no longer mere incidental structures like those in the seascapes of other artists.
Beginning in 1930, Hopper and Jo (who wed in 1924) spent summers on Cape Cod, where the couple eventually built a house and studio in the town of Truro. There, Hopper's style became more geometric, perhaps inspired by the architecture of the region's saltbox constructions. Always a realist painter, and critical of many modernist trends, Hopper nonetheless inched toward abstraction in these simplified compositions that experimented with the interplay of color, form, and light. For Hopper, however, architecture was never reducible to mere form—it always remained in dialogue with nature. As the artist plainly remarked later in his career, "What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house."

Read my review - 4/5 stars
We stayed at Pedernales State park, which is becoming one of our favorites. The property of the park is next door to the Mellow Johnny's Classic race, so is very very convenient.
I had made a mistake when i made the reservations for this weekend, and accidentally booked the site for Saturday and Sunday rather than Friday and Saturday. When I caught the error and tried to correct it the park was booked!! YIKES!! But I kept checking back every day and thankfully someone cancelled and I got a spot for Friday night.
My sister and her fiance stayed with us in their tent
I had my best race of the season so far and fnished with a big smile on my face. It was great to see the "real pros" in action (This was a UCI Pro Race with the Pro Teams racing. We got to see Emily Batty, Judy Freeman, Jerimiah Bishop, Todd Wells, Sam Shultz and more. One of our local guys, Tristan Uhl, placed 11th out of 63 against the Pros!
Lots of fun was had by all. I think my sister took some pics, I'll have to post them up later.
Next up, Abilene, TX. We've never been there. The camping available is primative only (no hookups). I was game for it, and felt sure with the Heater Buddy we'd be fine. My husband vetoed me and booked a hotel. BAH!
So our next camping/racing adventure will be the Big Ring Challenge in Coldspring, TX (near Houston). They don't call it the Big Ring Challenge for nothing! Super flat, fun, flowy, fast course! I can't wait for this one.

WOMEN have captured an 11.7 per cent stake in the Australian construction industry but now they need to make inroads into leadership positions, the National Association of Women in Construction has found.
The construction industry is now widely accepted as a legitimate career option for women and the national advocacy group is now extending its focus to ensure the retention of women through clear career paths and access to leadership roles.
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show the number of female technicians and trade workers nationwide has increased 20 per cent since 1996.
Construction is now the third largest employing industry, capturing 8.8 per cent of the Australian workforce, or 1,016,000 people.
But women are under-represented in leadership construction roles, despite the number of women directors of ASX200 companies almost doubling in nine years to 15.6 per cent.
NAWIC Queensland and Northern Territory president Janelle Kerrisk says the representation of women in chief executive positions within the national construction industry is less than three per cent.
"The construction industry has been a consistent area where the remuneration levels have outplayed the areas where the girls have been encouraged into,'' Kerrisk says.
"Now that we have more girls with a foot in the door and identifying that a construction career is an option for them, we need practices and policies in place to continue the momentum for the participation of women, to ensure those women stay long term in the industry and are within leadership positions.''
In the 2013 NAWIC discussion paper on what women want in a construction career, 56 per cent of participants indicated their direct manager or supervisor had the strongest effect on organisational culture and indirectly staff retention, furthering the push to have more women in these roles.
In six years, Felicity Briody, 26, has been promoted from a graduate site engineer to a consultant in infrastructure advisory with international support service conglomerate AECOM.
She has founded the Power of Engineering program which promotes careers in engineering to high school students, and has been identified as one of the most influential women in her industry.
"I hadn't thought of myself as a woman of influence before and it's strengthened my view that you don't have to be super experienced to be a leader and have influence,'' Briody says.
"I didn't think about women in leadership positions until I started thinking about the next step for my career.
"It's really important to have people you can ask, and not specifically women. It's just having the confidence to talk to someone about where you want to go in your career."
Amyee Rhodes, 21, has moved from a career in hospitality management to become an electrician. She is now a third year apprentice electrician working on the Queensland Children's Hospital site at South Bank.
"When I started on site I was told there were 1000 workers and only five females,'' Rhodes says.
"I've always been a high achiever, managing my own store at 17, and I have no doubt that if I applied for a management job, I'd have as good qualifications as the person next to me," Rhodes says.

Hey everyone, Trevor here. Thought we'd share some clips from Creed that we've come across. Just a reminder that the flick opens on the 25th of November!
from the Morning Call;
"There's a scene in "Creed" where the latest brash boxer who challenges the upstart protege of Rocky Balboa barks, "No one cares about Balboa anymore!"Yo, through 40 years of Rocky as an underdog, champion, and aging, widowed fighter, fans sure do care.
Dressed in robes, fedora hats and even boxing boots, the costumed enthusiasts chanting "Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!" on Friday had one more reason to cheer for Philadelphia's favorite fictional son.
Sylvester Stallone goes one more round as Balboa in the spinoff "Creed," and he wants the character to tally even more before he joins Adrian, Apollo and Paulie in that great squared circle in the sky.
"There's more to go," Stallone said Friday. "I would like to follow this character until eventually he's an angel."
Here's a fun video,
Legendary Nights : The Tale of Creed vs Balboa!
"Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films has stepped up to finance and produce with Protozoa Pictures 478, the drama that Arnold Schwarzenegger will star in and Elliott Lester will direct from a script by Javier Guillon. The film is produced by Protozoa's Darren Aronofsky, Scott Franklin and Eric Watson, EFOF CEOs Randall Emmett and George Furla, and Peter Dealbert.
The Highland Film Group is handling international sales and this is expected to be a hot title on the opening day of AFM. Lionsgate Premiere will release the film domestically as part of the ongoing multi‐picture distribution deal with EFOF.
Schwarzenegger has eyed the project seriously for months, and the script drew fans for its dark storyline and characters. In 478, Schwarzenegger plays a man whose wife and child die in a plane crash. The tragedy was caused by an air traffic controller's screw-up. The air traffic controller is vilified for his mistake and placed into protective custody. Schwarzenegger's character cannot let it go, and is determined to seek vengeance. It's more sophisticated than an average revenge film, and gives Schwarzenegger a chance to show the chops he displayed on Maggie."
Here's some clips of the one and only Wesley Snipes showing he can still kick ass! (From the Player)
The show is available to order through the Starz network and will likely have a home video release once the first season finishes airing.

MBA Journal: Farewell, CEIBSIsaac Iglesias
They say all good things must come to an end. An MBA program is no exception. In April, I will be graduating from the 18-month program at CEIBS. In China, people designate you by the year you start and not by the year you end, so the 2010 cohort graduates in 2012. This is a minor peculiarity when you compare it with all the other things that await if you are a Westerner choosing to come east for your business studies. During the first months, it will be frustrating at times. The language and daily customs are only the beginning.
Negotiations begin (not end) when you sign a contract. Yes often means no, and no often means yes. And the food—what can I say? Family, business, friendships, conversations, and everything imaginable revolves around food. That is why I mention it in every journal entry. Your experience at CEIBS will not be conventional. But trust me, by the time you finish, you will be glad to have a solid understanding of how business is done in China.
I finished my classes in January. Similar to other programs, you can finish your credits a bit earlier if you chose to take classes instead of finding a summer internship. I have been in and out of Shanghai for the better part of the year so far. I happened to be in the U.K. during Chinese New Year, but CEIBS would not allow me to go without my Chinese New Year meal, so I was invited to the annual press mixer dinner in London. I shared a table with five Chinese professors who had just been to the World Economic Forum in Davos the previous week, as well as with a few members of the London MBA-specialized press. Dean John Quelch, an eminence in London who is a former dean of London Business School, was also at the dinner. He was presenting his new book in the U.K. at the time. He was understandably proud of the school's accomplishments and the fact that it had so many representatives at the forum.
I enjoyed a great evening with interesting people, and I was introduced for the first time to CEIBS's London network. I will be returning there (it's where I worked before business school) after I graduate. Fortunately, my company has strong ties with China, so I won't feel completely disconnected from the country. Still, I am leaving great friends and fond memories behind.
The highlights of my MBA experience have been numerous. First, I enjoyed discovering Shanghai for its international flair, commercial entities, and rich history. The place is amazing. This is where you can easily pay $200 for a meal in a restaurant or $1 for a delicious bowl of noodles, and where you will find all the luxury brands you can think of, but you can also get an excellent bespoke suit for less than $100. Second, I am thankful for the timing of my sojourn here. In a time when the West is in crisis, China is booming. The World Expo in 2010 was a great example. There is a type of energy and optimism in the giant country that is highly addictive.
Of course, I must also mention all the new people who have come into my life. An MBA is a strange thing. Most people come from diverse backgrounds and have very little in common, except for ambition and drive. I learned as much about other people's attitudes and backgrounds as I learned about myself. This is the true value of the MBA. I really wish I had studied less so I could spend even more time with my fellow classmates. There is never enough time—not enough time to travel, not enough time to study, not enough time for clubs, not enough time to apply for jobs.
Finally, being given the opportunity to contribute in this fantastic network of blogs has been a truly excellent experience. Please carry on contacting me about things relevant to the MBA and enjoy every moment of your business school experience, from application to graduation. Sadly, good things do come to an end.

Aug 8, 2013 - From the Associated PressCHEYENNE (AP) -- A special House committee is seeking $110,000 to conduct its investigation into state schools Superintendent Cindy Hill's management of the Wyoming Education Department.
In addition, the Select Investigative Committee decided during a seven-hour meeting Wednesday to ask Gov. Matt Mead whether he can find a way to provide legal counsel to represent Hill during the process.
Depending on its findings, the panel could recommend that the full House of Representatives initiate impeachment proceedings against Hill, who says the state should provide her with an attorney to help in her defense.
The committee has not set a deadline for when it will issue its findings. Its request for funding must be approved by the Legislature's Management Council, which oversees legislative matters when lawmakers are not in session.
The Management Council gave House Speaker Tom Lubnau permission to investigate Hill after a recent inquiry reported a number of issues with how Hill managed the agency over the past two years, including possible misuse of federal funds. Hill has been stripped of her authority over the agency by a new law enacted last winter.
Hill has denied any wrongdoing and is challenging the constitutionality of the law.
The select committee spent most of Wednesday's meeting handling organizational issues, such as approving rules and procedures. It decided to form four subcommittees to look into specific allegations. The subcommittees would then report back to the full 16-member committee.
Lubnau, R-Gillette, was elected chairman of the investigation committee. Addressing the committee, he said it will be subject to much scrutiny no matter what is does.

SAC Capital portfolio manager arrested in NYC
A portfolio manager for the hedge fund operator SAC Capital Advisors has pleaded not guilty to federal charges in an insider trading probe.
The FBI arrested Michael Steinberg at 6 a.m. Friday at his home in New York City.
His attorney says in a statement that Steinberg "did absolutely nothing wrong."
Attorney Barry H. Berke says Steinberg was "caught in the crossfire of aggressive investigations" into other people's activities.
At least four other people associated with the Stamford, Conn.-based firm have been arrested over a period of about four years.
On March 15, the Securities and Exchange Commission said that two affiliates of SAC Capital Advisors would pay more than $614 million in what federal regulators called the largest insider trading settlement ever. The settlement is subject to court approval.

sorry for my poor english
short situation:
I plan to buy the WD TV Live Streaming. On the external HDD (usb) I place the movie and mp3 files.
The WD TV Live Streaming is connectetd via HDMI to a 5.1 audio receiver (audio receiver via HDMI -> TV)
Q: Is it possible to start music on the WD TV without extra turn on the TV? Something like a webInterface to search
in within MP3 Folder for a song or album? The implemented Web GUi is afaik only for remote purpose. You don't
see the content of the WD TV Box...
I hope its understandable.
br from germany
Yes, it is possible, If your setup is like mine, you will need to set the HDMI mode to MANUAL on the WD, or the audio will go off when you turn off your TV.

Olympic athletes, spectators share goodwill with memorabilia
MISSOULA, Mont. - The Olympic movement is one of the largest movements of peace and goodwill among nations. The sharing of gifts, most often pins, is one way spectators take part in sharing that.
If you are going to Sochi, collectors urge to you take some pins to trade with people from across the world. Montana and UM Grizzly pins are popular.
"They went over great because there are people, from Japan especially, who knew who the Grizzlies were," explains Tom Schmidt about a past Olympic trip his family took.
The exchanges started as quiet gestures of respect and goodwill between athletes on the field, when the ancient Olympics were revived to the modern games in the late 1800s.
Schmidt says, "They were trading the nametags that people were wearing on their uniforms. They didn't have team uniforms at that time. So, they just had little pins to identify who they were and people started trading them. Well, then, somebody got the bright idea, 'Why don't we make up a bunch of pins so that they can pass them out as a goodwill to people from other teams?' All of a sudden, the spectators got onto it and said, 'Hey, that's something for us to do.'"
Now, pins, cards and patches of favorite athletes or sports can be worth hundreds of dollars.
Worth also is based on craftsmanship and rarity. Buyers have offered Schmidt upward of $600 for sought-after pins.
Schmidt says, "What's really getting hot are the people in those extreme sports -- anybody doing the really way out there, super tricks. What a lot of the purists will say is it's not something that should be in the Olympics, those are the sports getting all of the attention. "
"So our Maggie Voisin card might be worth some money someday," we asked. "Yes, absolutely."
Schmidt say, you don't have to focus on the value of the items. If you are going to the games, you can take inexpensive pins to trade just for the enjoyment of it. He says trading sites are easy to find in the host city.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
His new book, Of Grunge and Government: Let's Fix This Broken Democracy!, is part music memoir and part political treatise. It's much like its author: engaging, down to earth, practical, and positive. Mother Jones caught up with Novoselic by phone at his home in Washington state right after Election Day.
Mother Jones: Bush won. Do you have any advice for the despondent?
Krist Novoselic: There's a lot of gloom and doom nationally, but people just gotta stay engaged and keep believing. Look at the left coast. When Washington came up blue, I was proud! If you're a Democrat in Washington state, there's a lot of good news. We've got the Senate, House, and it looks like we're going to pull off the governorship. [At press time, this race was headed toward a recount.] So, dejected Democrats, I say: Think globally and—in bold letters—act locally! The democracy didn't end on election night. Work to make your city, county, and state the best in the nation. That's what I'm doing.
MJ: What sparked you to write this book?
KN: I was talking to Danny Goldberg—he used to manage Nirvana—about instant runoff voting. And he said, "You should write a book, Krist." It turned out more like a pamphlet, because the way I write is just to boil things down. Pamphlets are a quick read—a good vehicle to get the ideas across.
MJ: Do you worry that election reform is too wonky to grab readers?
KN: Have you been following the election in San Francisco? They had an instant- runoff-voting election for the city Board of Supervisors. It's blowing people's minds. In the city's districts, many of the candidates have similar issues and are competing for the same constituencies. With the old system, they would differentiate themselves by tearing each other down, putting the stink on their opponent. But with IRV, candidates are actually endorsing each other. Can you believe that? Candidates are looking at their opponents and saying, "Wow, she's strong in these neighborhoods, but I'm strong over there. I want to be her voters' second choice." So you have candidates meeting and saying, "Why don't we co-endorse each other?" Isn't that amazing? We really need instant runoffs in Washington state. In the winner-take-all system, Greens and Democrats hate each other, when they should have a coalition.
MJ: It's taken years to get this going in a place as liberal as San Francisco. Is it realistic to bring IRV to state-level voting?
KN: People ask me, "How do we do it? How do we get this going?" We gotta do it on the local level. If you're electing your officers as part of a civic group or organization, use instant runoff voting. Talk to your city council about it. That's how it's going to start. And it can work nationally. I was listening to This American Life the other night. They were following MoveOn canvassers, and one old lady—she was in her 70s—they knocked on her door, and she said she wasn't voting for Kerry or Bush. She was going to write in ZZ Top. Now, I love ZZ Top. So at first I thought, right on. [Laughs.] But then I thought, with instant runoff voting, this lady would have more choices and feel better about democracy. Voters would be less cynical.
MJ: What feeds that cynicism?
KN: Look at what a poor value we're getting for our democracy. Look at the House of Representatives—20 or 30 races are competitive out of 435. That's a good deal for the special interests, because they can pour millions of ad dollars into a handful of races. They're getting a good value. And citizens? We're getting a poor value.
MJ: What lessons do you take away from the presidential campaign?
KN: Democrats need some coherent policy proposals that are easy for people to digest. Bush ran for something. A lot of Democrats ran against Bush. That just doesn't get you anywhere. That's part of a bad trend on the left. Lefties are always bagging on Fox News and on talk radio. I think that progressives should be advocating policy: "Here's our health care plan. Here's our plan for peace. Here's our plan for prosperity." Why get hung up on all that Rush Limbaugh crap? It's all garbage. People want something positive.
MJ: Which artist do you think is most successful at galvanizing people politically?
KN: I love the new Green Day record. It's a masterpiece. It's ambitious musically, it's ambitious in what it wants to say, and I think it succeeds tremendously in both ways. In general, I'm excited that musicians are speaking out and not falling for that idea that "musicians shouldn't say things." Democracy is everybody's business.
MJ: Do you have a favorite political song?
KN: It's really hard to top Bob Dylan's "Masters of War."
MJ: What about a campaign song?
KN: "Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)." That was a good one. The music rallies people. When someone like Bruce Springsteen endorses a candidate, it's something that even a former president can't offer. It's sublime, because people connect with music. But then again, you shouldn't hold it against musicians because they endorsed Bush or endorsed Kerry. Like the people who call the Dixie Chicks sluts and whores—it seems like you can't have a political discourse anymore. And if they voted for Bush, it doesn't mean they're idiots. Don't hang up on people, or how are you going to get things done?
MJ: Are you in a band?
KN: No. I'm doing politics pretty much full time. Music is still my passion, but I realized last year that I had this habit where I had to be in a band—always. It was like, "Oh my god, I'm not in a band." Then I realized, I don't need to do that. I can just play and have fun.

If we had counted all the yellow habanero peppers our five plants produced – well, we don't think we could have. Every other day we probably picked 40-50 habaneros, and sometimes more. We asked ourselves, "What in the world are we going to do with all these?" We dried a lot for our ground pepper seasoning. The rest we used in this salsa – the recipe calls for 40 hot little habaneros per batch. Needless to say, we made a lot of Habanero Salsa!
Really, even with that many peppers, this salsa isn't THAT hot. I know – I know – everybody's heat tolerance is different. But with all the taste samples by customers, there's only been a couple of folks that this salsa really set on fire. Some thought it was really hot, but most loved the immediate spicy, fiery bite this salsa gives. Rounded out with plenty of fresh tomatoes, onion, sweet peppers and a dab of sugar, this is a nicely spiced and fairly warm treat for salsa lovers.

On September 27, at 2:30 p.m., Evan House, Ph.D., Director of Altairnano's Advanced Materials & Power Systems business unit, will deliver a presentation on Altairnano's NanoSafe rechargeable nano-titanate battery program. In addition, Altairnano will demonstrate its NanoSafe battery technology throughout the Zero Emission Vehicles conference.
A leader in advanced nanomaterials and alternative energy solutions, Altairnano has forged an innovative path in battery chemistry by replacing graphite (which can cause batteries to malfunction or explode under certain conditions) with its patented nano-titanate material which is safe and reliable.
Altairnano's nano-titanate material can be charged and discharged significantly more often than conventional batteries because of the absence of particle fatigue that plagues graphite. Conventional lithium ion batteries can be charged about 750 times before they are no longer useful. In comparison, Altairnano NanoSafe battery cells have now achieved over 9,000 charge and discharge cycles at rates up to 40 times greater than are typical of common batteries, while retaining up to 85 percent charge capacity.
"It's an honor to be invited to present at the California Air Resources Board Zero Emission Vehicle Symposium and we look forward to providing substantive details on the role Altair Nanotechnologies is playing in making safe, powerful, long life, reliable electric vehicles a mass-market reality," Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer Alan J. Gotcher, Ph.D said.

This may be a dumb question but does anyone ankle carry a full size gun like a Glock 22?

ankle carried a Charter Undercover years ago (back in the 70's with bellbottom pants), tried to ankle carry my Glock 27 and couldn't get my pants leg over the darn thing. Can't imagine carrying my G22 that way.
Rick Miller
Jax, FL
If you can ankle carry it that means you're wearing pants so why not just in a regular owb holster?
A couple years ago at the Golf Championships in Doral Tiger Woods' "security" had a monster on his ankle. Dude walked all 18 . . . no idea what kind of holster.
Good luck.
I know many of you are programmed to make assumptions but there is only one thing worse than knowing something; assuming it. Instead try asking a question and communicating effectively.
For me, ankle carry is strictly for a second gun; it's easy to reach while seated (in a vehicle, for instance), and may be more accessible than a hip holstered sidearm if you wind up lying on your back. Otherwise, not so easy to access. I see the ankle holstered weapon as being used up close and personal, or as a backup should some problem arise with the primary weapon. Problems with concealment (apparently, a previous poster had no problem seeing Tiger Woods' bodyguard's weapon) and comfort (I wouldn't want to walk around all day with 2-3 pounds strapped to one foot) lead me to use a small, lightweight weapon when I choose to ankle carry.
The closest that I can ankle carry is an XD-45 compact with the 10 round magazine. I carry one of those regularly on my ankle. I carried a S&W 6906, on ankle, on a regular basis as both a BUG and an off-duty weapon for years. The height of the weapon is what controls whether it can be carried on the ankle or not and, since bell bottoms are no longer in style, anything over 5" in height is going to be very difficult to conceal and access on the ankle.
IIRC, years ago there was an accessory for Bianchi's UM84 military flap holster that would allow it to be worn on the calf outside the pant leg. Presumably this was geared towards use by military pilots, but I don't think it ever caught on. That's the closest thing to ankle carrying a full size pistol that I can think of.
"It's Fumbles...it was always Fumbles."
Dr. Calvin "Fumbles" Killshot
Hey Jaxrolo,
I carry a g26 in a ankle holster with a 10rd mag or 15 mag, I wear kakis/dress shoes and it works well, the length of the barrel doesn't bother me as much as the height (grip) anything taller would print even worse, I have a few jeans that work but I wear boots with them and cant carry on the ankle with boots cause that requires me to raise the gun up then having to pull the pants leg even higher to get to the gun.
I use a Galco "heavy" leather holster without the calf support, as long as I don't do any running it works fine, as for concealment no one ever looks at your feet for a weapon. I think its a great BUG placement, but the waist is better for EDC. My ankle carry is about 4:00 it keeps the barrel from rubbing my ankle bone and the back of the grip follows the calf muscle, also I'm right handed and carry on the inner left leg. also if you cross your legs when sitting you need to keep that leg down, your pants will ride up and show your holster and you will mussel everyone in the room.
Thanks for all the answers.
There are certain circumstances where I can not carry IWB/OWB that I can't mention. But If I had it on my ankle it would not be a problem.
I will probably buy a smaller gun for those circumstances.

Aquamarine for March Birthdays
If only everything in life was as simple (and as enjoyable!) as choosing birthday presents! Before you scoff at me (because no doubt the reason you are reading this is that you can't decide on a gift), read on – it is easier than you think!
If you have a friend or loved one with a birthday in March, then their birthstone is the aquamarine. This is handy, because unlike the months where the birthstone is very feminine, like pink quartz, amethyst, peridot or topaz, aquamarines are quite unisex. They have a wonderfully subtle bluish hint in their clear facets – the only thing that separates them from diamonds. Historically, the birthstone for March was the bloodstone … aren't you glad it has changed?!
So, while much of the aquamarine jewelry is made for women, there are quite a few pieces that would be suitable for men's gifts also. The strong lines and solid character of the aquamarine pendant pictured at the beginning of the article makes it a good choice for a men's birthday gift. You could even pop it on a leather necklet, or a chunky and reliable chain, rather than the usual fine and dainty chain, to make it even more masculine. Then of course, if you have a man that wears earrings, these square cut aquamarine stud earrings are also a strong, unisex option. The square cut of the stone has the added advantage of reflecting the light inwards, to heighten the beautiful shimmery blue color.
If you are looking for a present for one of the lucky ladies in your life, though, aquamarines are a rare and often inspiring option. One of the best things about them is that while they have much of the look of diamonds, they definitely do not have the price tag! So where clear stones are used to create a background or some stylistic relief in more colorful pieces, aquamarines help make this gorgeous jewelry affordable. Check out these dainty and colorful earrings as an example – matching necklaces are also available, and both pieces cost less than $100 each. More to spare for other gifts – from a romantic weekend, to dinner and a chat, depending on the lucky recipient!
When you combine that subtle blue aquamarine tint with yellow gold, the result is a beautiful interplay of hints of color – the jewelry almost seems to change its color in different rooms. This naturally delectable drop pendant is a great example.
Hopefully your mental wheels are racing ahead, and your clicking finger is just about to follow! If you need any further help or advice, don't hesitate to contact us.
