She has been one of our most feared rivals - now Mo'onia Gerrard could be set to play for a New Zealand franchise in the ANZ Championship.
Playing for Australia, Gerrard has been a constant thorn in the side of the Silver Ferns and her physical, uncompromising approach has not won her many fans on this side of the Tasman. But there is no doubting her ability and the way she took Temepara George out of the game in the latter stages of the Singapore final was a key to blunting the Ferns' offensive threat.
The 30-year-old has yet to agree terms with the Swifts, and confirmed that she was assessing her options - which include switching countries.
"I've always been interested in playing in New Zealand from day dot and it still interests me to have a go in the New Zealand style," Gerrard told the Herald on Sunday. "For me, the whole Polynesian side of things would be fascinating and it would be cool to get amongst it and see how it goes."
Three New Zealand franchises - the Mystics, Magic and Steel - have yet to fill their allocated import spot and it would appear that the Steel are the most likely destination should Gerrard decide to cross the Tasman.
Apart from the fact that they are financially well-resourced, Gerrard also has a strong bond with the Steel's Australian co-coach Natalie Avellino.
"With Natalie there I am definitely interested," says Gerrard. "I'm sure she will be good as a coach at the Steel - especially in terms of player welfare. She is always there for players."
Avellino and Gerrard played together at the Sydney Sandpipers in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy during the early 2000s, with the veteran leaving a lasting impression on the youngster.
"She was like my mother in netball when I was coming through," recalls Gerrard. "She was an older player in the group and I always looked up to her. She has definitely been one of the influences in my netball life and I have always had that closeness and bond with her since then. She looked after me - I was the only Islander coming through and she seemed to get that whole cultural background as well."
Gerrard confirmed she is still in talks with the Swifts, but it seems unlikely she will remain in Sydney. The departure of longtime coach Julie Fitzgerald seems to have caused a split in the camp, and several players are considering their futures.
Life in the deep South would also be a significant lifestyle switch for Gerrard, though she is confident she could handle the colder temperatures.
"If Natasha Chockljat could handle it, I could handle it," says Gerrard. "I have talked to her plenty of times during the season and she definitely has warm blood. If she can handle it, I could."
For the Steel, Gerrard would hold definite appeal. She would be a positive influence in the dressing room, and bring a real winner's mentality and never say die attitude. And of all the Australians, her style would perhaps fit the New Zealand model quite well. She is unconventional and unpredictable, unlike some of her team-mates, who are more formulaic in their play.
The main issue would be how she would handle being in a team that on paper anyway, is set to struggle in 2012, after being accustomed to success with the Thunderbirds, Swifts and Diamonds.
It is unlikely she would go to the Vixens, who tend to prefer to recruit from within Victoria; the Firebirds seem an equally remote possibility. Gerrard won't return to the Thunderbirds, which leaves the Fever - with new coach Norma Plummer - as the most realistic option in Australia.
"She knows me and she knows how to push me and get the best out of me," says Gerrard of Plummer. "She will have a massive impact in Perth and she will love it."
Steel CEO Julie Paterson was reluctant to mention specific names, but confirmed they were talking to several Australians, including current Diamonds players. She admits that the cost of a top line Australian would probably run into six figures (including relocation and other costs) but was confident it could fit into their budget.
Paterson is under increasing pressure to make signings, having only recruited three players (Wendy Frew, Hayley Saunders and Jodi Brown) for 2012. The loss of Paula Griffin to the Pulse on Friday was a blow and Paterson's task is becoming an increasingly complicated jigsaw. Paterson also said the franchise were still discussing possibilities with last season's import, Chockjat.
The Magic have tied up eight players but have yet to sign an import. CEO Sheryl Dawson confirmed they were in discussions with several overseas players, and wing defence or wing attack seem to be the obvious gaps in their roster.
Meanwhile the Mystics, having confirmed their big five, are looking to England to fill their import slot.

Student Tookit: Time Management Skills for the Busy Student
If the collegiate workload isn't downright challenging it can be time consuming, so time-management skills are critical to higher educational success. In college or grad school, students no longer have their parents or teachers constantly reminding them of their assignments, and, particularly with online degree programs, students enjoy a high degree of flexibility in their curriculum that can either be helpful or just an added opportunity for excessive procrastination. For many students, struggling with procrastination and other time-management issues can make a tough degree program even tougher, so follow these simple time-management tips to help eliminate undue stress and get the most out of your degree experience.
First, get organized. Keep a calendar, or two, or three, to help you keep track of your daily, weekly, and monthly obligations. Today, many rely on an online calendar which can be linked to your computer or phone, but don't be afraid to keep a physical calendar as well for an added failsafe. Keep to-do lists everyday to keep in mind what you have to do during the day and make a game of crossing items off the list. It's also important to keep your living space clean and organized, as well as your work space or even your computer files. The more organized you are, the more efficiently you will use your time when work needs to get done.
In keeping your calendar, plan ahead several months in advance to ensure that you never miss an important meeting or date. However, also bear in mind that no matter how much you plan, you may not be able to do everything you'd hoped. In this case, be sure to effectively prioritize your obligations and other desired activities. Focus on eliminating your most difficult or pressing tasks from your to-do list first so you'll be less frazzled when it comes time to handle your less urgent task items. Also, be mindful of the distractions that tend to get in the way of getting items crossed off your list and do what you can to avoid them.
Don't forget to also put some time aside in your schedule to relax. Take into consideration your limitations and give yourself room in your schedule to breath and recollect yourself.
When you must work, try to work as efficiently as possible to avoid unnecessarily wasting time. For example, many students waste inordinate amounts of time studying ineffectively or cramming all of their work into one work binge. Avoid procrastination as much as possible, and break down your large assignments into more manageable chunks that you can complete bit by bit until they are finally due (learn more about effective studying here: http://www.onlinedegreenavigator.org/the-college-blog/student-toolkit-how-to-study-effectively/).
Finally, the most finely-tuned time-management skills are useless if you don't stay rested and healthy. Sickness is often a completely unanticipated wrench in the cogs of your schedule, but it can be mitigated if not avoided if you take the time to take care of yourself. In your routine, plan for three meals a day, exercise when possible, and try to keep a consistent sleep schedule.
If you follow the above tips you should greatly improve in your time-management, but the key is to stay consistent. Get into a routine and stick with it, and you might be surprised how much more you can get done every day.

Orange trees (probably hired from some florist) are hung with false fruit, i. e., different sized balls covered orange colored stuff. When opened they are found to contain various small articles. The idea, is a good one to adopt in arranging Christmas presents. Another way to present gifts is to have them all put in a certain place, neatly wrapped and tied. A bright member of the family, to whom alone has been confided the names of those who are to receive the packages, marks them with apt quotations, but no names. When the quotations are read at the dis tribution, each person must know from the description whether the gift belongs to him or not. No one else is to indicate who is meant.

"Be careful to advertise in some shape or said Barnum not long ago, "because it is evident that if a man has ever so good an article for sale and no- body knows it, it will bring him no re- turn. The whole philosophy of life is, first sow, then reap. This principle ap- plies to all kinds of business, and to nothing more eminently than to adver- tising. If a man has a really good article there is no way in which he can reap more advantageously than by 'sowing' to the public in this way." Barnum possesses a genius for ad- vertising, not only in the newspapers and by posters, but in many other ways calculated to attract attention. Another element of success which he has, and which goes hand in hand with his faculty for advertising, has been his assurance. He has humbugged the pub- lic and then written a book recounting his methods with remarkable frankness. These methods of his more active life he did not seem to regard as anything to be ashamed of. They were to him brilliant strokes. "Preserve your he said; "it is more precious than diamonds or rubies. The most difficult thing in life is to make money dishonestly. Out prisons are full of men who attempted to follow this course. No man can be dishonest without soon being found out, and when his lack of principle is dis- covered nearly every avenue to success is closed against him forever. Strict honesty not only lies at the foundation of all success in life financially, but in t every other respect." j One who is familiar with Barnum's exhibition of the negress Joice Heth, the alleged nurse of Washington, 161 years old, his woolly horse, his Feejee mer- maid, and other manufactured cr par- tially manufactured curiosities, may be surprised at this explicit statement of the case by one who could talk so well about but Barnum was and is doubt- less strictly honest, as he interpreted the word, and although he palmed made up curiosities on the public he would have scorned to do anything beyond what he regarded mere shrewdness. Barnura has never done things by de grees. He has uttered some good wordi about economy, but economy and pa- tience usually go together. Whethei Barnum has posseted these faculties o: not he has certainly declined to wait foj avenues, by which to reach the public, to open up to him. He has opened then; himself. In the days when Barntun was en deavoring to establish the American museum, and later when in the circuf business, he used to do a great deal o' advertising in the then prominent Nev York papers, The Courier and Enquirer The Times and Messenger and The Her aid. "Night after he said. ut the midnight hour and later, I crawled up these several newspaper staircases tr put in these journals some fresn and starthng announcement about my busi- ness I even did this after the editor had gone home, but the foreman in the composing room had some authority taen. and would often put the matter 1 offered in type or make an announce- ment for me."

E Hutchison, of Wichita, ]i i l> "i mentioned as d c i1 a 1 it" for United States senator to succeed the iridescent Jobp J. Ingalls, is of rather commanding and carries with a- semi-military air due to Ins training in the regular army. He is six feet in height, and weighs over 200 pounds. His face is a little on the florid order, round and full. His eyes are dark blue gray, an 1 L.b hair and mustache are brown, with a Cazen tinge. He is a very fluent talker, an 1 seems to have dipped into almost every subject in his reading. He has been his own schoolmaster alnxst entirely, having ac- quired but little more than the bare ele- ments of a school education; but is well informed on the fundamental principles of the various sciences. Col. Hutchison was born in Pitt- sylvama county, Va., April 24, 1847. His parents were not rich, and at 17 years of age he enlisted in the regular army. He was sent under Gen. Crook's command into Oregon and Idaho, where he became conspicuous among his fel- lows as an Indian fighter. He soon rose through the grades of private, eor- poral, sergeant and duty ser- geant to the rank of first sergeant, and was muster- ed out of the ser- vice in Company D, Twenty-third United States in- fantry, in 1868, as first sergeant. He then went into railroad and became a sub-contractor in building the Santa Fe road through Kansas. Later he entered the United States signal serv- ice, and received a schooling in Wash- ington, D. C., in the meteorological de- partment. From 1879 to 1882 Mr. Hutchison was in the United States cus- toms service under ex-Governor E. M. Pease as deputy collector and inspector at Galveston and Houston. In 1884, on account of ill health of himself and family, Mr. Hutchison came to Wichita and engaged in busi- ness, and has lived here ever since. He was quite successful in land speculation during the boom and before. In 1836 he was appointed on the staff of Governor Martin, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and assisted in organizing the national guards. Col. Hutchison's poli- tics, until some eighteen months ago, were Republican, and he took an active part in politics. Since then his political views have been modified considerably. especially on the tariff. He favors service pensions and free silver coinage. He identified himself with the people's party early in the recent campaign, did some vigorous writing and made a number of speeches in support of its measures. W. E. HUTCHISOX.

The Pentagon has approved a new policy that will allow troops to seek waivers to wear religious clothing, seek prayer time, or engage in religious practices.
Video: US Military Now To Allow Turbans, Other Religious Clothing
Besides O wanting this, who gave that OK?? That is truly disturbing and disrespectful to our wonderful men in our armed services
The Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Chief of Staff of every branch of our military also gave that OK. Truly disturbing and disrespectful to the honorable men and women in our armed forces and, if not moreover, in violation of our U.S. Constitution with which the Muslim's religion ISLAM is in direct contradiction.
Vietnam Veteran
What next, Taliban insignia??? WTF PEOPLE, WAKE UP!!!
They (hussein and his minions) just keep pushing and pushing. And until our legislative branch finds their b.lls, they will continue. We have nothing but wusses in our legislative branch — total and complete wusses!!! WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DANGER!!!
When a muslim occupies the oval office, all his appointed czars are muslim, Homeland Security Agency is run by a muslim, and they are breeding in America like rabbits, why shouldn't the greatest defense in the world be subjected to ISLAM. When the hell is America going to revolt against these cultists.
Hopefully enough Americans will revolt against these cultists on May 16, 2014.
OPERATION AMERICAN SPRING http://www.saveamericafoundation.com/2014/01/07/p…
The entire reason for the military wearing uniforms is to remove the idea of individuality from the ranks…
Makes them all one big team…
If there are those of other religious beliefs who wish to join OUR military, they should expect the 'package deal' of wearing OUR uniforms…just like they are…
Vietnam Veteran
Total Bullshit!
They won't allow Bibles or a Cross but will allow this nonsense of wearing a turban, the morale of our military must be very low and lets not forget the girly hats that Obama wants our men to wear.
Obama is doing everything he can to destroy our military and congress just sits there and does nothing to stop this insanity
Linda you know as well as I do that this Sand Monkey has taken all the real generals out and put in his puppets and the biggest is Chuck Hagel.He'll do anything to destroy America.Can you see our soldiers looking like the Duck Dynasty boys.
Hi Edward,
All those Generals that Obozo fired, I am sure they would NOT have put up with this nonsense, he replace them with a bunch of girly men who would bow down to the dumb king Obozo and kiss his azz
The truly sad and, moreover, despicable thing is that our top military leaders have aided and abetted Obama's destruction of our military.
There's nothing offensive or wrong with someone following their religion. The gods of government have spoken.
It's meant as an 'endearment' and accepting of them.
Deal with it.
Let me get this straight Seeks if your an American indian you should be able to wear a war bonnet or if your queer you can wear a pendant shaped like a penis.This raghead should be allowed to wear a turban unlessthere was a way to hide it under his shirt or in his pants.
Technically, the War Bonnet was not worn in honor of our God, the God of Abraham, so it wouldn't be equal to other religious headdress.
But then, here lately, I'm rather sick of fighting for others rights and freedoms only to have my rights put down like we don't know what the hell we're talking about.
It hurts to see my beloved Military done this way, but I'm also sick of seeing my own people done how they are.
In our sacrifice to serve and stand with our other brothers and sisters, it hurts when they won't stand beside us when we do finally ask for one thing, and keep asking for almost 30 years.
There's EVERYTHING offensive and wrong with Muslims following their religion, ISLAM, in our military. In case you haven't checked, ISLAM and the U.S. CONSTITUTION are not co-habitable. The Marxist Muslim Narcissistic Traitorous Usurper in the Oval Office has indeed spoken.
It's meant as a 'poke in the eye' and dissing of our legacy military.
Deal with it my ass!
Vietnam Veteran
I hope you know me well enough from my time on here to know I was being facetious.
Operation Anaconda/Enduring Freedom Veteran in case you didn't know.
This is as someone said happens when you let a spearchucker become president.Now if you had a real black American like West,Rice Carson or other qualified colred people things would be different today.
Just dress them as undercover.

For Iran, the rationale for the long march toward partnership can not be found in strategic alignment or expediency of politics alone, it runs much deeper; for many Iranians, America represents the new world, where individuals thrive on the merit of their skills and character, rather than old world feudal hierarchy.
Trade negotiations are growing in importance as developed and developing countries alike increasingly realize that protectionism is not a path to prosperity. Federalism poses challenges for our trade negotiations that are exacerbated by elections at both levels of government in Canada, and among our trading partners. The electoral clock is also ticking on Japanese Diet elections next summer and on U.S. presidential and congressional elections next fall. If the machinery of trade talks ground to a halt every time an election approached, there would be no trade agreements at all -- which is, perhaps, what some people desire.
As a younger woman, I stood beneath the arch on countless occasions at the height of the Cold War. It was a time when there were far fewer allied nations and as a Canadian teen I knew my closest allies were those I could reach through the arch to connect with. In 1984 the Americans were not just my neighbors, they were my family in every sense of the word. Suddenly, it's 28 years later. You find yourself in 2012 in the midst of the US election and you realize, with shock and awe that the gate is closing - not because of economics or war or terrorist threat or because a guard is standing at the border locking the gate in front of you - but in the name of blind adherence to ideology.
The Soviet Union once sought to intimidate, undermine, influence, subvert, exploit, deceive, penetrate, and dominate every country it had dealings with -- friendly or otherwise. It was paranoid and paralyzed by its dependence on the secret police. But today, the best course of action with Russia is to leave the damn country alone.

Unlike last year's U.S. Tour, this year's set list has been evolving almost daily. In Basel, the duo replaced "Slide Song (A)" with "Crossroads". Longtime Where's Eric!

Separate names with a comma.
Headphones item created by , May 5, 2010
Pros - Very comfortable ear pads, excellent clarity and definition
Cons - Soft grip on ears means that they could slip off while very active
The GMP 450 is the closed back cousin of the GMP 400, which has an open back design.
The sound is very similar to the open back GMP 400, but with a little more bass response and narrower soundstage. Very impressive though for a closed back design.
Interestingly, I found that the GMP 450 requires a decent quality headphone amp (I had them hooked up to an Icon Audio HP8) to really make them sing, whereas the GMP 400 was more flexible about it's source.
The earcups are mounted on what German Maestro call a cardomatic suspension system. The result is a feather soft grip around the ears that readjusts as you move and stays pretty secure (as long as your not really active). The cardomatic suspension is really rather clever.
Handbuilt in Germany and coming with a 3 year warranty, the GMP 450 from German Maestro is a very impressive closed back headphone.
A class leading closed back headphone that is equally at home in the studio or at home. Nicely made, very comfortable and sound that is both refined and balanced. Highly recommended.

Smart Grid as Quick-E Mart
Smart Grid as Quick-E Mart
During interviews for this month's cover story, " Customer Service: 2020 ," leaders in the world of back-office information technology (IT) spoke with Fortnightly about customer service and the smart grid. They came from companies as diverse as Oracle and Telus, HP and Convergys, Vertex and SAP. But whatever the company, whatever the discussion, almost every leader came around eventually to focus on a single agent of change—the rise of electric vehicles.
Each executive imagined that EVs will transform the way utilities interact with customers, but in ways that not all of us might yet fully appreciate.
Gas Station of the Future
Several of the people interviewed for our cover story suggested that distributed generation will create a new role for utility customers: the "prosumer" role, in which individual customers and communities generate electricity for upload into the grid. Of course this is nothing new; utilities have been required to provide interconnection services for some types of customer-owned generation since 1978. But even if full-fledged net metering spreads across the country, the prosumer trend seems inextricably tied to the economics of small generation technologies—especially rooftop photovoltaics, and also things like micro-cogeneration.
But even without steep declines in the cost of these systems, might EVs feed into the same trend? Might so-called "V2G" (vehicle-to-grid) technology turn drivers into prosumers by allowing them to sell small amounts of power back into an integrated smart grid?
Oracle Vice President Guerry Waters expressed skepticism that V2G would emerge any time soon. "It's hard to project when it will happen," he said. "EVs will become a reality. A lot of auto manufacturers are focused on it, and the Obama administration set a goal of having 1 million EVs on the road in the United States by the year 2015. The rising price of gasoline will add fuel to that fire, and auto manufacturers will turn up production. But predicting how that will become a resource for utilities is a bit more dicey.
"By 2020 there will be smart-charging infrastructure, so EVs won't unduly burden the electric system," he said. "I'm just not sure that within a decade we'll have all the issues solved for [V2G] to become anything but a fairly minor play. However, the utility will be viewed as the gas station of the future. The utility will be right in the middle of providing energy and interacting with EV owners."
So irrespective of whether consumers become prosumers, EVs bring a different set of requirements—and opportunities—for utility customer service.
Specifically, the smart grid and smart-charging technology will allow utilities and their customers to achieve some important goals. First, smart charging will ensure a million cars plugging in at one time don't crash the grid. Second, it will give drivers some choices about their power consumption, so they can take advantage of cheaper off-peak power rates when quick charging isn't a priority. Third, it will allow drivers to charge their cars no matter where they're parked,

Winery Must Do's: Three Great Winerys in Three Different States
Taking a trip to wine country should be an important item on any wine lover's bucket list. Visiting wineries and taking part in tastings is a classy way to have fun, especially if you take the time to pursue other activities while you're in the area. Wine country has a romance about it, and is a wonderful place to travel for a honeymoon, anniversary or even first date. Whether you want to commune with nature, challenge your spouse to a bicycle race or simply get drunk and pig out on gourmet food, wine country is the place to be.
1. Sonoma Valley, California
Sonoma County is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and those who enjoy spending time outdoors will find many interesting and different things to do here. In between winery tours, you can take a day trip to Bodega Bay and check out the Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve, where you can ride bicycles amongst the ancient trees or have a picnic in the morning sun. After that, consider spending an afternoon at the coast, where you can check out the tide pools and follow up with an evening at Gourmet au Bay, the best wine bar on the coast.
Another great Sonoma Valley excursion is The Calistoga Indian Springs, which is located North of Sonoma Valley. This marvelous spa, which is more than worth the time it takes to drive there, offers massages, mud baths and warm mineral water soaks.
2. Palisade, Colorado
In the 1970s, wine making returned to Colorado. It was once a booming industry, but it was wiped out by prohibition and most of the vineyards were replaced by fruit crops. Now, most of the state's wine is created in Palisade, and if you visit, you will have a number of great wineries to choose from. Be sure to check out the Hermosa Vineyards, which was rated number one out of all of the wineries in the area.
3. Walla Walla, Washington
Walla Walla isn't exactly known as a popular vacation spot, but it is quickly climbing the ranks amongst the top wine destinations in the country. Not only does this hidden gem offer plenty of beautiful scenery, hiking and a number of high-quality wineries, but you can also play miniature golf at The Sweet Putt, experience a show at the Powerhouse Theater or explore the numerous museums and art galleries in town.

Kohl's chases market share
October 4, 2001,
New York — The course for Kohl's remains steady, executives told analysts at the Robertson Stephens conference here. "Taking market share is what Kohl's is all about," said Patricia Johnson, who was recently promoted to evp and cfo.
The company is committed to drive top line and bottom line growth, she added. Over the past five years, Kohl's has had a compounded annual growth rate of 26.7 percent, and comp store sales have ranged from 7.9 percent to 11.3 percent.
In the face of a weakening economy, the company plans to continue growing its square footage 18 percent to 20 percent every year, according to coo Arlene Meier.
"We are not slowing our expansion plans in any way," she added.
Kohl's had 320 stores at the end of last year, and has or will have 62 additional stores this year, with plans to open 70 new stores next year. "There's opportunity to continue our expansion program in every region of the country," Meier said. "It's important to have a blend of fill-ins in existing markets and enter new markets."
The company is driving traffic into the store with inserts, Kohl's credit cards and the recent expansion of the Get It! program, which highlights seasonal key items. The program, which was 9 percent last year, has already grown to 13 percent.
The Table and Tower program holiday presentation, launched two years ago, will be expanded on this year. "It is a great presentation that also has sharp price points," Meier said.

My next winning party feature goes to this adorable
Candyland Birthday Party
submitted by Sweet Metel Moments!
What a bright and fun party! Of course…inspired by one of my all time favorite childhood games, CANDYLAND!
Photography by Chris & Iris Metel, and Jim Floyd.
Iris did such a great job at putting everything together!
In fact, she has an etsy shop where you can purchase this 'Candyland' printable party pack here!
In Iris' words…"I had so much fun planning Brody's 5th birthday party since it involved lots and lots of candy! One of the highlights of the party was the bright and colorful candy buffet. Sweets included long twirly lollipops, large Pixy Stix, Oreo pops, Smarties, Sour Patch Kids, and ice cream cones filled with Froot Loops, amongst other candies. We also had some buckets of chocolate candy bars that were a big hit for the adults. Another big hit was the castle bouncehouse that the kids enjoyed (and even some of us adults towards the end of the party)! Thank you so much to our wonderful family and friends who celebrated this special day with our very special birthday boy!"
"The birthday cake was actually a carrot cake from Walmart and I added some colorful gumdrops and swirly fondant lollipops {DIY TUTORIAL HERE} that I had so much fun making! Of course I had to add a personalized cake topper to make the cake extra special for our Brody."
Oreo Cookie Pop TUTORIAL found here!
"As far as the party favors, two guests took home Candyland board games for guessing how many jelly beans were in a jar (congrats Michelle and Sang!) and every child received a brown bag to fill up with his/her favorite goodies. To get on the parents' good side, each child received a toothbrush as well."

Thanks for your submission, Sweet Metel Moments!
What a wonderful job.
Congratulations on being the winning party feature today!

It's fixed and it sounds much better.
It's louder than stock, but quieter than running with an open exhaust after the first resonator. It sounds much meaner as well even though I've only driven it a couple of miles.
It seems that the stock st rear muffler/ twin tip just barely touches the valance in the double walled section of the tip, so I'm not sure if it will need to be notched at all.
With low throttle applications/ steady cruising it quiets down to near stock levels even with the CAI, but if you get on it you hear it.
To anyone thinking of doing something similar take it to an exhaust shop, it needs a little bit of work as the flange is not clocked exactly the same way so the pipes end up rotated slightly in the wrong direction. A couple cuts, and a few slip joints welded on the outside and it's all tucked in just like an aftermarket catback all for less than $400, and actually under 300 if you subtract the amount of money wasted at the first shop. Even the cheapest available version of the magnaflow 2.25" cat back cost more than that just in parts alone. The lowest I've seen listed for the hatch is around $500-550. So, so far I'm pretty happy with it even though the first place messed it up pretty badly at first. Started a job they were incapable of finishing.

How do health care facilities use electronic (or computerized) medical records (EMR)?
Health-care facilities, such as Partners Health-Care use EMRs (Electronic medical records) to boost patient safety, manage chronic illnesses, and improve the efficiency of their practice. The EMR technology used at Partners HealthCare is secure. It gives their caregivers the same complete health information of a patient so that he or she receives safe and coordinated care. And, when doctors prescribe drugs through the EMR, drug allergies and drug interactions can be prevented. The EMR tool can also prescribe cost-effective drugs, when appropriate, to save everyone money.
Advantages of EMR are:
1) Share patient information everywhere assessment, diagnosis and treatment decisions occur.
2) Reduce costs by shortening billing cycles and other core administrative and clinical operations - including storage and copying costs of medical records.
3) Direct data entry by clinicians and staff greatly reduces transcription costs. Direct links to a transcription system also saves time.
4) Create higher quality documentation (auditable, legible and organized charts and records).
5) Document visits to a consistent level of quality service.
The disadvantages of EMRs that pose a significant risk to patients include the following:
• Privacy: Many are concerned with the vulnerability and sensitivity of electronic records and others having access to their health information.
• Accuracy: Who will be in charge of viewing, interpreting and entering health data into the system?
Two challenges faced when implementing a universal EMR system are: 1) How to effectively manage this complex enterprise solution 2) How to provide high application performance over the wide-area network (WAN) without adding expensive T1 lines.

About Me Sys Admin
Comments about oreilly Learning Veeam® Backup & Replication for VMware vSphere:
I've received this as a review title and it teaches the reader what you need to know and is very instructional and a great guide to start up a Veeam project. Starting of with a background understanding of backup concepts, from the start it seems to be a self teaching tutorial with walkthrough guides for the basic concepts and a great explanation for the more advanced topics, this book is a perfect match if you are starting up or investigating a backup solution for your virtual infrastructure.I've been working with Veeam for a bit the last couple of months and the book cleared a few concepts for me and also gave me ideas on how to make even more out of our current setup and what is needed of infrastructure to make this happen. Thumbs up to Christian Mohn for this title, which certainly will be near by when I'm messing around with the Veeam setup! :-)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Introduction to Veeam
By Craig
from UK
The target audience for the book is for vSphere administrators looking for an introduction to Veeam Backup & Replication v7. It's not intended to be a technical deep dive.When reading a technical book the logical flow from chapter to chapter is one of the key areas that I look for.The author starts with an introduction to Veeam including the architecture and components that make up the backup application. This leads onto configuring backups, restoring data, replicating virtual machines and finally other features.This logical flow makes the book enjoyable to read, and includes a couple of puns which placed a smile on my face!Throughout the book, the author gives common sense advice to his target audience, which includes:3-2-1 backup ruleRPO/RTO definitionsBackup Repository placementConsiderations for installation/service accountsWhen to use incremental or reversed incremental backup typesWhat happens when you restore a VM Guest fileVeeam Backup Enterprise Manager use casesI would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an introduction to Veeam Backup & Replication.

Prairie Dog Canine Rescue is volunteer run organisation based in Lethbridge, Alberta. We serve all of Southern Alberta but have rescued dogs from as far away as Nunavut. The dogs in our system come from all different kinds of situations- from the reserve dogs, owner surrenders to abandoned or stray dogs. We have at any given time anywhere from 2 to 20 dogs at a time. We are 100% volunteer run and we have no facilities to keep our canine friends so they are put into foster homes where they are taught how to be welcome members of the community.
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before the time of adoption. This cost is included in the adoption fee. At this time our adoption fee is $350.00- this helps to offset the cost of vetting, food and care for the dog.
Volunteers are needed for the following:
-Public Relations
And as always we could use donations of the following items:
-Money for Vet Bills
-Good QUALITY food
-Grooming Equipment
We have strict guidelines that are followed for every adoption. Our goal here at PDCR is to find a lasting, PERMANENT home for these dogs. To do that we have a screening process and do our best that each family and dog are suitable for one another.
Please download and fill out the Application and Email it to firstname.lastname@example.com
We are not a drop off center. We only take dogs that we feel are adoptable or have the potential to be a great dog. If you cannot keep your dog we ask that you contact us with the dogs information- we will list the dog as a courtesy but will NOT take the dog unless we have room. We would rather the dog stay in it's current home where it is comfortable than be moved from house to house.
For more information or if you'd like to adopt, foster or volunteer please contact us at 403 795 2599. Leave a message and a volunteer will return your call as soon as possible.
For a faster response you can email us at email@example.com
Thanks to for the great background and bar.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We take in pugs from puppy mills, shelters, and also owners that surrender then to us. Once a pug is in our care we provide them with a loving foster home until they find their forever home. We spay and neuter all of the dogs and also have them up to date on their shots.
We do what we do because we all have a love for pugs and we believe that all pugs (and other companion pets) deserve a loving happy life.
2. Reference Check
3. Home Visit
4. Adoption contract
5. Adoption fees
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 or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Date of Stay: August, 2011
Review removed by admin.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
We think for what you get and the small RV sites this place was over priced. We have camped a lot of places in the area and this would be a choice but a last choice. I know it isn't their fault but it was so hot when we stayed and next time we will make the 20 mile drive up to Estes Park or in the canyon where its cooler.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
Nice park and clean bathrooms. Camp hosts are really friendly. We only stayed the weekend but it will be on our list to return too. Feel only negative is that it is a county park so vehicle passes are required.
Date of Stay: April, 2011

Hades and Persephone Picture
I decided to draw Hades and Persephone the other day! I am more for the versions of the myth where they actually love each other and everything works out. I saw an artist's portrayal of them that made them look like they hated each other, so I decided to do one where they did not. Lol it's not the best, but I credit that to the late hour, the LotR extended edition DVD, and the stink bug that was flying around that sounded like a bomber..... ;-PContinue Reading: Persephone

For those visiting the national capital for sight seeing purpose, feels very tensed about the accommodation. This is because, it is very typical to find a good and decent hotel here as most of those which are cheap lies in dark lanes and those which are good location are often too costly. But some of them are really very budgeted and elegant as far as location is concerned. These types of hotels lies near the airport where even foreign travellers prefer to stay. Hence they are not just safe but also well furnished.

Mahalia Mouse Goes to College: Book and CD (edition 2007)
by John Lithgow (Author), Igor Oleynikov (Illustrator)
Work details
Mahalia Mouse Goes to College: Book and CD by John Lithgow
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I enjoyed this short tale about a mouse going to college for two reasons. I first enjoyed the rhyming scheme used by the author. This style helps to make the tale seem less frightening at times and also adds to the fluidity of the book. In addition, the use of rhyming is pleasing to the ear when reading aloud to younger students. The last thing I enjoyed about this book were the illustrations used throughout the book. Each picture accurately depicted the words of the author which helped make the book easy to follow. When the illustrations help to complement the text, this also adds a realistic touch to the events. Although in actual reality a mouse cannot go to school, a young reader can connect that they one day could go to college like Mahalia. The overall message of this story is to follow your dreams so you can make them a reality.
Review: This book is about a mouse who leaves his family to search for food but he discovers college classes. The mouse enjoyes the classes and what the students are learning in them. The professor lets the mouse join the school. The mouse takes all the classes he needs for four years to graduate. Once mouse has completed all four years he gets to graduate. His mouse family sees a newspaper article about him and discovers that he is not lost after all. His family comes and watches him graduate and they live happily ever after.
Genre: Modern Fantasy
Genre Critique: This book is a fantasy because the animals have human like characteristics. The animals wear clothing and have furnished homes. The animals can also talk and think like humans do. In real life mice do not go to college.
(as viewed on Tumblebook.com) Captivating format and inspiring story. The tumblepad screen displays the illustrations and words to each page of this clever story of Mahalia, a mouse who accidentally goes to college after being zipped up inside a backpack while stealing a bite of a sandwich. As the warm voice of the narrator tells the tale, the sentence being read lights up in red. Forward, back, and pause buttons allow the reader to control the story's pace, and each page come to life through a few sounds and slight animations: the sound of rain or a horn, the movement of a mouse scurrying across the page or balloons floating upward.
Children will delight and cheer as the mouse, Mahalia, graduates from college. They might even follow in her footsteps one day, emboldened by a little mouse with persistence, curiosity, and courage.
Young readers will need assistance in understanding some of the complex language and expressions, but plenty of context clues will guide children's understanding. Young, gifted readers may find pleasure in the challenge of reading this story independently while treasuring the illustrations and the story of a little mouse who becomes a scholar.
Librarians and teachers alike can build a college theme around this story and introduce children to the myriad of subjects that can be studied in college.
Classroom use can also include an advanced vocabulary unit.
Vocabulary: scampered, wisteria, tormented, daunting, regime, giddily, brawny, transfixed, skittered, self-reliance, grim, studious, jubilation
Actor and author John Lithgow wrote this story as part of a commencement address he delivered at Harvard University. The book also comes with a CD of that exact reading at Harvard in 2005.
This is about a little mouse who lives with her family under an old Harvard Dormitory. Malihia mouse desides she wants to attend college after she accidentally finds herself in a classroom listening to a lecture.

Antibacterial Glass Market Size, Share, Growth and Analysis Report To 2020: Grand View Research
The global antibacterial glass market is expected to reach USD 222 million by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Need to prevent the growing number of nosocomial or Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) is expected to be the key driving force for the market over the forecast period. Antibacterial glass offers an architectural solution for the prevention of infections, which is expected to drive product demand in healthcare settings.
Increasing demand for medical device coatings is also expected to positively impact the global market over the next six years. Low consumer awareness regarding benefits offered by these products may restrain industry growth over the next few years. Technological advancements, such as the development of antibacterial glass for touchscreen displays by U.S. based Corning is expected to be an opportunity for industry participants.
Request to Sample of This Report @ http://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/antibacterial-glass-industry
Further key findings from the study suggest:
- In terms of active ingredient used, silver dominated the global market and accounted for 92.3% of the overall market share in 2013. It is also expected to grow at the fastest rate of 6.8% from 2014 to 2020. This is mainly because of its effectiveness in imparting antibacterial properties to the glass and toxicity to microorganisms.
- Hospitals are expected to be the largest and fastest growing application over the forecast period. The segment accounted for 42.6% of the global market in 2013, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2014 to 2020. Hospitals are expected to remain the key application area due to the need for ensuring a sterile environment, particularly in vulnerable spaces such as ICUs and geriatric wards.
- Europe is expected to remain the market leader over the next six years, and contributed 60.6% to the global market revenue in 2013. It is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2014 to 2020, mainly on account of the presence of key industry participants in the region.
- Companies operating in the market include AGC Glass Europe, Nippon Sheet Glass (NSG), Saint Gobain, Corning Inc., etc. The market is consolidated in nature, and characterized by price sensitivity among consumers. Product innovation is expected to remain the key growth strategy over the forecast period.

Past Event
"Jazz, Tango & Amore," featuring Debra Ayers, Sarita Uranovsky and Molly Walker
- Tuesday, March 17, 2009, 7:30 p.m.
- United Methodist Church, Eighth and Oak streets, Steamboat Springs
- All ages / $5 - $15
Debra Ayers is looking forward to a chance for three classical musicians to loosen up.
In a concert titled "Jazz, Tango & Amore," pianist Ayers joins fellow Montage Music Society members Sarita Uranovsky on violin and Molly Walker on clarinet for a program of classical music that's been influenced by dance numbers and love.
"We always try to put some sort of theme into the program, and this time I thought it would be fun to combine music influenced by jazz and tango," Ayers said. "And the amore - there's always a little bit of love mixed into all of that."
The concert, presented by Colorado Mountain College's Center for Excellence in the Arts, is the last in the 2008-09 Jim Calaway Honors Series. Opera singer Keith Miller performed for the concert series in December and the Paonia-based band Sweet Sunny South played old-time bluegrass music in January. "Jazz, Tango & Amore" is at 7 p.m. Tuesday at United Methodist Church.
The program includes a trio of preludes by George Gershwin, a tango by jazz pianist Fred Hersch, a frantic trio by cafe composer Paul Schoenfield - whose music Ayers describes as "just certifiably crazy" - and an excerpt from Igor Stravinsky's "L'histoire de Soldat." Each piece on the program includes some jazz or dance influence, Ayers said.
"I happen to love that type of music myself, and it's evident that a lot of classical composers and musicians share an interest and love of that type of music," she said. "There's a wonderful freedom in playing it."
The program also features a piece by composer Andrew List commissioned for the Montage Music Society and based on a famous painting by Paul Gauguin. An image of that painting, "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" will be projected over the trio while it plays the piece.
"We all do that when we go to movie theaters and see a film, and we rarely separate the music from the visual. In this case, we're bringing the visual into the concert hall," Ayers said. That part of the program is where the "amore" component of its billing comes in, she said.
"The composer was very clear that in today's crazy world, with everything that is happening, the most important thing for all of us to remember is to love each other. And that's a very important theme in this piece," Ayers said.
The Boston-based Montage Music Society focuses on classical repertoire and contemporary pieces, and it includes five freelance musicians; Ayers and Uranovsky are permanent members, and Walker occasionally sits in on clarinet.

Good. Now I'll be able to wield Polearms while doing less damage than everyone else including those pesky Monk tanks.That's an amazing change for Fury Warriors, it's just THE thing we've been waiting for.Thanks.
Changing silencing shot?. That's entirely necessary for most raids, and it should be either a normal ability or left as a talent. Leave Binding Shot as it was, as well.
For those folks (like me) who have been running dailies and accumulating VP's on several alts, there is no mention of an exchange for JP's (...or maybe I missed it). Does this mean that we're screwed with thousands of VP's that can no longer be used?As a casual, solo player (read: no guild and don't raid), this means that purple items are once again off the table for acquisition. Seems there's no point in running dailies if neither reputation or VP's move you towards the purchase of superior gear. That's a fairly significant reduction to the endgame if you were looking forward to eventually acquiring nice items. Once you hit 90, there's not a lot of further impetus to play. Achievements? Collecting tabards?
Jeez, angelic feather lasts for 10 minutes, theres OP and then theres that :D
well finally some creative changes to dks instead of just playing with RP cost or cd duration...finally time for experimenting
quote Joe1113]
i hate the idea that threre is nothing for guardian druids they need more help with the aggro at least one new something so they could keep aggro for much longer tie i dont like feral or balance i refer to use guardian spec as dps in bear form i dont know why but it is working for me very well and i do much more damage then in feral spec so if anyone from blizzard read it pls make something for guardian druids too make something so ppl will want this spec cuz i havent saw many ppl that like this spec maybe some how make it better besides that everything is great
Warlock total deep nerf. Especially in PVP. I hate 5.4
with your point I really agree with you.、It's a agreat thing that I want to be your fiend.We have some web sites which you can view exciting games------------------------------------------------------ http://www.sellgw2.com/ http://www.vipbns.com/ [ http://www.d3joy.com/
Latest PTR notes say that Silencing shot is being changed to Counter Shot, A baseline interrupt all hunters gain at level 22. Binding Shot is back as a talent instead of Marks only.

Get a job
It has come to my attention one day last week while an acquaintance of ours was at the public library, there was a crowd smoking outside. Come to find out, they were giving out free cell phones with 250 minutes to people on welfare. If these people can afford cigarettes at $5 a pack (or are we furnishing them also?), they sure can afford their own cell phones. Why not do what taxpayers have to do and get a job, like I had to do?
Your check should go for housing, utilities then groceries. Get a job or schooling and a car without taxpayers' help. I am tired of working my rear off so they can smoke, have a cell phone and even a car.
What is wrong with us? Time to stop supporting these people.

Peripatric speciation
In peripatric speciation, small population size would make full-blown speciation a more likely result of the geographic isolation because genetic drift acts more quickly in small populations. Genetic drift, and perhaps strong selective pressures, would cause rapid genetic change in the small population. This genetic change could lead to speciation.
The essential characteristic of this mode is that genetic drift plays a role in speciation. There are likely many cases where a population is split into two unequally-sized populations and they become separate species. However, it is very difficult for us to tell after the fact what role genetic drift played in the divergence of the two populations so gathering evidence to support or refute this mode is challenging.

Throughout my life, I have always been an athlete. I danced for 6 years, played soccer for 10 and was a gymnast for 15 years. To say I am competitive is a bit of an understatement. From refusing to take rest during soccer games at the age of five because I claimed "my whole team sucked", to playing checkers with my older brother, I took nothing lightly. But after many years of athletics, especially gymnastics, I became burned out and my competitive edge began to dwindle.
When I was 16, my parents introduced me Crossfit, which exposed me to a new type of competition. I eventually stopped gymnastics for Crossfit because of the high intensity, motivation and competitive atmosphere, which I found more fulfilling. However, I had the habit of cherry picking workouts that did not involve barbell movements because of a fear of becoming bulky. Then suffered a major injury which required surgery and nearly a year of rehab. During that time, the trainers at Shoreline CrossFit helped me work around my injury everyday, and implemented barbell movements that I could perform despite my injury. This caused quite the turn-around: now you can't get me off of the barbell! CrossFit has increased my confidence tremendously, teaching me that performance is far more desirable than aesthetics.
What I've gained from the trainers at Shoreline CrossFit, I'd love to be able to pass on to others. I want to show people that the gym is not as intimidating as they may think; that any goal is attainable regardless of age, injury, inactivity, or even if you have never been involved in any type of physical activity. I am extremely eager to share my passion for CrossFit with other athletes as I continue to coach at Shoreline CrossFit.

Best Experience EverWhat's been your best experience ever? Mine was playing as a concert band in the Sydney Opera House earlier this year...
9 Answers | Add Yours
My greatest experiences have come while travelling: Taking the helm of a large sailboat in the Caribbean; stepping into the many famous buildings found in London and Paris; roaming the Casbah in Tangier; nearly drowning while swimming during a hurricane on St. Thomas; sitting on the outer wall of the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine at midnight, imagining warships entering the harbor to battle the Spanish; stepping into the Ann Frank House in Amsterdam and seeing the outside world from her limited view.
That sounds like a good experience! My best experience was graduating with my doctorate. This was a valuable experience to me because it meant that my studies were over. I had been in school in one way or another most of my life.
My best experience ever is ongoing and has to be moving to Cape Town, South Africa! I never tire of seeing Table Mountain - I did think of making the climbing of the mountain my 'best ever' but I know it's cliche - and obviously the whole experience of living here includes climbing mountains and all.
I know it all sounds a bit stereotypical but to me, an experience is more than an event, all of which add to the experience, so I'm going to stick with it.
I think an experience also has to have various elements - living here has its fair share of challenges - but, at the end of the day, nothing can change the fact that Table Mountain is just around the corner!
My kids think I'm a bit crazy and way too over-analytical, philosophical even - it's just a mountain, a beach, a city but, as we all strive to find meaning in our lives and satisfy
a need to live in a manner that is personally satisfying..respected by others or simply allowed without confrontation
I really think that simplifying the whole'experience' thing is not such a bad idea and I hope I haven't bored you with my interpretation.
At risk of sounding prosaic (compared to the other answers) I would just have to say the birth of my two children. No events changed my life more, none were more anxious and difficult (far more for my wife than me, obviously) and the further I get from them in time, the more it seems like they happened just yesterday.
Ranking experiences like this is really difficult...but I have really enjoyed the occasions where my writing has been performed. In playwright workshops and for one full production, I have had plays and pieces performed by actors in a company. The experience is gratifying and exciting and a little bizarre. Characters that once existed just in my head, then on paper, come to life on stage. It was very memorable.
I would have to say that mine was the two times that my wife and I backpacked a 90+ mile trail around Mt. Rainier in Washington state. There are, of course, things in my life that have been more meaningful (being a parent, for example), but this was the most fun of anything that I could call a single "experience."
For a shorter experience, it would probably be the first time a team that I coached beat a school that we were supposed to lose to.
when i was chosen to be a model for the YoungBlood makeup company.. it was a pretty cool experience i guess. too bad i dont wear makeup :)
Its difficult to choose the best one. I'll say exam results and the appreciation made me utterly happy. It could make my parents happy too which I need the most. :)
Playing Hamlet at University and not making a mess of it. I didn't forget those thousands of lines. I didn't overplay it or underplay it too much (according to other people) and I learnt so much about so many things from the experience. And I got to really know Hamlet personally, he changed me forever.

Don't you love the season of fall, with all those pretty, colorful leaves on the trees? And then the leaves fall (is this why we call it "fall"?) and they are still pretty for a while, all scattered on the ground. But then, eventually, they get all brown and rotted and slowly suffocate the grass underneath or make the sidewalk dangerously slippery. Such a bummer. So you sigh and you go get your rake and your trash bags and gather them all up. But that's so much work, ya know? Ugh.
My friends, fret not. There is a better way. Go to your garage right now, grab that rake, and throw it away. Right now. Do it! Then take your car (you'll want the Land Rover, not the Prius), drive to a nearby farm, and rustle* yourself up some cows. Bring those cows home to your yard and then watch in amazement as your bovine friends do the work of cleaning up all those leaves while you sit back and sip a gingerbread latte. Cows love leaves. You will have happy cows and a clean yard. Win win.
Think of all the extra time you'll have for doing fall-like activities now that you won't have to rake leaves. And when the cows are done eating the leaves, you can let the kids go on cow rides and stuff. I'm pretty sure cows love having small children ride on their backs only slightly less than they love eating leaves.**
*So, according to Wikipedia, "rustling" is the same as "stealing." I don't think you should steal cows. Or anything really. Do not steal! Maybe, instead, you could ask a farmer to borrow his/her cows for a couple of days. Or maybe you could find some orphan cows who need a good home.
**There is a teeeeeny tiny chance that this could be a dangerous activity. I don't really know. I'm actually not a cow expert and you probably shouldn't ever listen to anything I have to say about them. Or anything else, for that matter. Let's face it, most of time I'm just talking nonsense. Blahblahhotairhotairblahblah. There it is. Cards on the table. I'm sorry if you are only just now realizing this truth. If so, you must feel so bad. Up is now down, day is now night. It's like that time when I was thirteen years old and found out Santa Claus wasn't real. Gosh, I'm so sorry! Anyhoo, if you do decide to let your kids ride on your cow, please don't leave them unattended.
