…a South Georgia native, former Atlanta and New Orleans resident, currently based in Jacksonville, Florida, where I live by the beach with my husband and our dog.
I developed an aptitude for recognizing shapes and colors before I could even walk, and spent many childhood days alone in my room with markers or crayons.
I was led toward pursuing a career in graphic design after teaching myself how to code websites as a hobby when I was a teenager.
I feel exceptionally fortunate that I've been allowed to make a career doing something I am naturally inclined toward, and in which I take great pride. Visual communication is an industry that is always evolving; it is rewarding and exciting to push the boundaries of creativity on a daily basis.
Please feel welcome to contact me regarding new opportunities. I'm available for design projects and painting commissions. I look forward to working with you!

Review University of Connecticut
I absolutely love the UConn Storrs campus! It is a breath-takingly beautiful institution that really targets student learning and motivates the students to achieve their ultimate dreams in life. It is not only a place to climb higher on the education ladder but is also where life skills are honed. Life outside and beyond the college years are not always going to be smooth-sailing and UConn does a good job at preparing their students what to expect in the bitterness of reality. I love the awesome food that the dining halls provide and the programs offered by the university would cater to various interest fields. I enrolled in Psychological Sciences within the College of Liberal Arts and have nothing but great things to say about it. University of Connecticut is a wonderful place to learn and explore, I highly recommend it!
The University of Connecticut has so much going on -- all the time! With over 700+ clubs and winning division I sports teams, there is a sense of unity and family here at UConn. Everyday there are new posters, emails, and newspapers being printed and sent out that will have your calendar jam packed with student, cultural center, scholarly, voluntary, and entertainment events. But don't get nervous, there are so many resources on campus and online that will solve any and all the questions or advice you have about financial problems, academic matters, or even personal events. This campus believes strongly in the prosperity of not only your education, but in every individual because as strongly addressed on the Freshman Move-in Day celebration, you are the light.
The campus is so rich with diversity, there are hundreds on clubs and organization a student can become apart of. This makes it easy to meet new people and also allows the student to find out more about themselves such as talents, what their passionate about, and etc. The students take extreme pride in the husky community making the environment welcoming for transfer students and the freshman classes. The professors are extremely passionate about their field of work, making learning new topics more interesting. Most of them are also to willing to be flexible with their schedules in order to help the students become more successful. For being a huge campus, it is extremely safe and takes the safety of their students as the biggest priority. This school has lived up to so far, everything i wanted and pictured my college experience to be like. I am a student today, but a husky forever!

... I feel at home. Jonathan bought tickets for the fast jet boat and we headed to Mackinac where we found a pasty shop immediately. I couldn't believe it - in the shop was a book that was for sale and it was written by Hetty who sold pasties in my village, Porthleven. I think her shop was called "Ann and Hetty's Pasty Shop" and you could watch her and Ann make the pasties. You can still watch the pasties being made today. That was ...

Open Arms Clinic Holds Meeting on ACA
A meeting in Toccoa calls attention to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
The Open Arms Clinic held the meeting last Wednesday on the Act, also known as "Obamacare."
People from the healthcare industry and other organizations in the community were on hand for the talk.
Open Arms Clinic Clinical Director Sherry Beavers said the goal was to help provide information to people who could then talk to others about the new health care laws and what it might mean for them.
"Our goal tonight was to make sure that people within our community, business owners, healthcare providers, people from the hospital and Toccoa Clinic, had the information they needed to go forth and clear up some of the discrepancies and confusion associated with getting enrolled for insurance (through the health insurance marketplace), who is eligible and who is not," said Beavers.
Those in attendance heard from Amanda Ptashkin, the Outreach and Advocacy Director for Georgians for a Healthy Future.
She talked about the law and what it means for those who currently do not have health insurance.
Ptashkin said that it is important for those who currently do not have health insurance to do their own research on the law, ask questions, and find out information for themselves.
"Make decisions for yourself and get facts for yourself," said Ptashkin. "There is information that is actually factual. You can hear things on both sides and it is confusing. You really need to figure out for yourself what makes sense for you and your family."
While there is the http://www.healthcare.gov website and the toll-free number at 1-800-318-2596, Ptashkin people wanting more information can also call Cassandra Hunter, a local "navigator" designated to provide assistance on the law, at 706-754-2318.

Head of Football Development provides update
Wolves' Head of Football Development and Recruitment Kevin Thelwell spoke to Wolves Player this week to give an update on the season, how things are working under the club's new structure and many more things besides.
The two-part video can be viewed via Wolves' Official You Tube site (click here for site) but here below is a summary of Kevin's interview.
*First of all Kevin, almost a year into your new position and six months working with Kenny Jackett since his arrival as Head Coach. How it is all going?
KT: I'm very pleased with how things have gone so far. At the start of my tenure it was a very difficult time and the changes that took place with Stale leaving and then Dean. Since that all happened I am really pleased with the way everything has been organised. We were delighted to be able to recruit Kenny who is doing a terrific job and everything appears to be moving in the right direction which is great from where we were.
*How does the structure work with yourself and Kenny and Jez Moxey? Is it complicated?
KT: The structure is probably more straightforward than people might think. Kenny's responsibility is to prepare the team, organise the team and get them ready to play games and get results. My role is to support Kenny and work shoulder to shoulder with him to make sure all the support services at the club are fit for purpose. So that's coaching recruitment, analysis, sports science, medical science, the Academy – all of those have to be in the right place at the right time to give us that edge to make sure we are as good as we possibly can be. Everyone recognises these days that there is so much pressure on Head Coaches and Managers - whoever it is in that lead role - so allowing them to look at what is really important has to be the main focus. Jez, Kenny and I speak on a daily basis and talk about all the different footballing issues and will work together to find solutions to any problems we might have. And then collectively we then report to the Board.
*We see regular morning meetings Kenny holds with the staff at Compton and many other meetings as well. How important is good communication in a structure such as this?
KT: Communication is huge and really important. It is something Kenny has brought in and is something we have taken on. We all work at a huge club where there is lots going on and lots to talk about and that means communicating on a daily basis about the first team and then players across all levels. That is absolutely vital to our chances of success. It also means that everyone starts the day being clear about what their roles are and what they are accountable for and how they are going to work.
*And the football so far this season – what is your assessment?
KT: On the pitch I am really pleased with how things have gone. I know there is a lot of expectation, and so there should be, because we're a big club. If you would have said to me that after 16 games we would be top of the table, seven points clear of third and with a nine goal better goal difference, then I would have been delighted with that. Given the number of changes that took place over the off season, and with all of the changes that have taken place within the squad, I think we need to recognise that probably 50 per cent of the squad are either homegrown or under 21 and that makes for a big old change. I think they have done brilliantly and the whole squad has started to gel together in a very short space of time and move in the right direction.
*How key was the development of young players and their promotion to the senior squad?
KT: When we first started talking about appointing a next Head Coach, we talked in great detail with Jez and the Board about what would be important. Without question, getting back to a young and hungry attitude and having opportunities for young players was right up there at the top of the agenda. So whoever came and took that role had to be able to marry that expectation of getting us promoted and also promoting our young players because we feel that we've got a good group who are good enough. It is especially pleasing for me as a former Academy manager to see some of the young players not only get an opportunity but start to prove they are good enough which is what the Academy system is all about.
*And the importance of the new signings?
KT: When we started to look at players and the recruitment process, Ken, myself, Jez and Stuart (Head of Recruitment Stuart Webber) sat down and talked about what we were looking for.
And we made it very simple. We want the right players to come to the football club but we also want to get the right people. In order to do that you have to carry out an extensive amount of due diligence that needs to go into making sure they fit the bill. For every player we produce a 25-page dossier of information of everything about them to make sure they are what we want them to be.
So far we have been delighted with the way the new signings have come in and fitted in very quickly and the quality they have brought is there for all to see.
*How do you prepare for the January transfer window?
KT: Again it is a constant review and evaluation of the players we have got and the group we have and some of the issues that might materialise. By doing that evaluation on a daily basis with all of us we are talking all the time about ways in which we might be able to improve and where we are strong or where we may be a little bit weak. It's about looking at where we see potentially players coming in and also going out. The key point to make here is that we are always looking to make sure the squad improves. If we are sticking to that premise then when we get to the key markers such as the transfer window in January, it provides us with opportunities to make that improvement if the right players come along. It is not going to be wholesale change and it can't be wholesale change because we want to make sure the group progresses. But certainly we are always making sure that the group is as strong as it possibly can.
*We have seen some younger players come in from across Europe this season and Jack McBean training with the club for a few days from LA Galaxy. Is the net being spread wider?
KT: Football is a global game now. Just because we are in League One it doesn't mean we can't recruit and attract players from further afield. We are aiming much higher than League One, we have to be, because Wolves is a club with ambitions to play at a higher level. On that basis we have to recruit good players from wherever it may be. The MLS is a really interesting situation and is one we have been looking at since January. They do have an 'off season' which they are coming into now, and that provides an opportunity for us to bring players in and have a good look at them. We are continually looking across Europe whether it be myself, or Stuart or Chris (Technical Recruitment Officer Chris Badlan) going out to visit games and that's taking in youth games as well as senior games. We are making sure we cover all bases to make sure we get the strongest players that we can.
*How tough have been some of the decisions taken, especially during the summer?
KT: Football clubs are always involved in constant review and evaluation of the most important factor – which is the squad. What we want the squad to do is go out on a Saturday and represent all of us in how they play and what their attitude is. There have been some tough decisions made and some players have moved out but that is part of the process of us focusing down on what is going to make us as successful as we possibly can. Hopefully people can see that we have made those decisions for the right reasons and we are starting to see some good performances from the players who have been recruited as well as the young players. This has been a process that we had to go through and hopefully it can be seen to have been a positive process so far.
*Finally, with the new Academy building set for completion next year, how confident are you about the future off the pitch as well as on?
KT: I think these are exciting times. I come into work at the training ground every day and there is more work being done on the old St Edmund's building and it is going to be great to see the new building going up there. It is a big statement by the Football Club about how important the Academy is and the young players to the club going forwards. If we can continue to provide the right quality I think that means they will get the right opportunity, and then we may see more and more local players coming through to the first team and representing Wolves at Molineux.

text: Forgive my crude drawings but will this work or is there a better/more efficient way to plumb an add on boiler? I currently have an oil fired boiler in place and will be adding a coal fired boiler onto the system. I want to continue to use my existing domestic water coil that is in my oil boiler. In my mind I could lower the set point on the oil fired boiler (to what I don't know) and let the coal boiler do all of the work. when the circulator pumps kick on it will pull the heated water through the system and both boilers. and the ball valves were intended to give me the ability to isolate the coal boiler from the system if needed. and the upper most ball valve would be in the "open" position only if I were using only the oil boiler.

We had a wonderful time both days - Zach is an absolute delight to spend time with...polite, funny, and very appreciative of everything! His vocabulary blew us away, and he kept us both on our toes when we played word games in the car, too!
Luckily, neither of the parks was too awfully crowded - I think our longest line was about 55 minutes, but only once or twice in the two days did we have to wait that long! We actually got to see just about everything we wanted to see/ride/do, so there was no disappointment at the end of the days. The fireworks at Magic Kingdom were fabulous - so much so, that when it was nearing the end of our second day (at EPCOT) and none of us really wanted to stay any longer, Zach even said that he "couldn't imagine that there were any fireworks better than what we'd seen at Magic Kingdom, anyhow"...so we went home!

The importance of co-operation
I once took part in an interclass drama competition that had to be presented in English. Preparing for this event made me appreciate the importance of co-operation. A show can never be staged by just one person. Even stand-up comics who perform alone still need help from lighting and sound technicians, make-up artists and others.
If we want to be successful, especially in projects and shows, we must learn to co-operate with others. We should not only think of ourselves, but try to put ourselves in their shoes. By communicating with others, we generate more ideas and express our feelings instead of keeping everything to ourselves. We should also give each other a helping hand before problems arise.
Even if we don't 'win' the competition, we still have gained much if we have learned the spirit of co-operation.

Is school the best place for lunch?
Some students like to go out for lunch and some of them eat at school. So which is better?
Probably the best thing about eating out is there is much greater choice, and meals can be quite cheap. It can also give students a break and some fresh air. They can relax after a morning's study and take their minds off difficult or boring lessons. Students also learn how to manage their pocket money and to think independently.
But there are downsides, too. Some parents worry that their children might run into trouble if they leave the school grounds during lunch. Students also cannot wander too far away, or they'll be late for class.
Besides, eateries are always busy during lunch hour so students have to wait in line and can hardly relax.
In contrast, students who eat at school usually have time for other activities, such as basketball or volleyball. For higher form students in particular, it's a good time to do revision or complete homework. If they have a problem with a lesson or assignment, they can discuss it with the teacher.
Eating at school can save time and money, and can be more healthy if you bring your lunch from home.
It's hard to say which is better. But I think we should give teenagers more freedom. They're the leaders of tomorrow, so let them think for themselves.
Rachel Ng, Carmel Secondary School
The mind is more potent than looks
I agree that being clever is more important and useful than being beautiful or handsome. In the long run, knowledge and intelligence determine your standing.
Clear goals, broad knowledge and diligence lead the way to success. No doubt, charm and good looks gain attention and give a good initial impression in the beginning. But no one gains lifetime fame or makes great achievements only on the basis of their appearance.
A person's physical beauty is like a mask. Youth fades with time and cannot be restored. In stark contrast, knowledge and wisdom can grow over the years. Beauty only benefits whoever possesses it, but wisdom can be a force for the good of humanity now and well into the future. Wisdom separates humans from animals. It is the greatest treasure God has given us.
Hui Chi-sing, Christian Alliance S.C. Chan Memorial College
Paying for modern life with our moods
According to a survey conducted by the Hong Kong Mood Disorder Centre at the Chinese University, common minor physical symptoms such as headache, joint pain, insomnia, fatigue and an upset stomach can be early signs of a mood disorder.
More than 80 per cent of respondents to the survey suffered at least three mood disorders at the same time they experienced such physical symptoms.
Emotional disorders seem to be a consequence of a hectic life. However, people tend to overlook this problem. No matter what role we play - as a boss or employee, parent or student - many of us feel we have too much to do and not enough time to do it. We work or study late, often on our days off, without taking time to rest physically and mentally. This can affect our mood, making us feel depressed, angry or hopeless.
Ignoring our moods is foolish. They not only affect our work, but our closest relationships.

Photo of the Day: Jon Jones Helps Badr Hari Celebrate
- Written by Dave Walsh
This weekend's LEGEND 2: Invasion was a great example of a promotion that shows a lot of promise but still needs to work out the kinks in their production. Crazy T-100 NFL rappers with cheerleaders is cool and all, but having such things happen in between what felt like every fight tends to make everything drag on a bit too much. That's just me, though, maybe that is what Russian fans are really into, my finger isn't on the pulse of the Russian people.
Anyway, Jon Jones was paid a lot of money to fly out to LEGEND 2: Invasion, put on a seminar at the owner's gym and then basically hang out for a week. This resulted in Jon Jones photobombs of all kinds including this one of Jon Jones awkwardly dancing to help Badr Hari celebrate his victory with the Mike's Gym crew post-fight. If I were a young, inebriated UFC Light Heavyweight Champion I'd probably be doing the same thing.

Open vs. Closed Cell Foam
At Energsmart, we continue to see confusion in the insulation marketplace about closed cell foam and how it is supposedly a better investment than open cell foam. Information abounds on the Internet about closed cell foam and is disseminated throughout the home improvement and construction world. One of the goals of this paper is to explain why such information is out there and to present a clear and unbiased view of both open and closed cell foams. Energsmart installs both foams and we make similar margins on each.
For starters, let's discuss why there is so much information floating around about closed cell foam. Open cell and closed cell foams each have a component called a blowing agent, which forms the cells and fills them with gas. All open cell foams use water as a blowing agent, which, when blended with isocyanate, produces carbon dioxide as the insulating gas within each cell. Water is so inexpensive that it should be considered free to manufacturers for purposes of this discussion. On the other hand, every major closed cell foam on the market uses water AND Enovate, also known as 245fa, as its blowing agent. 245fa is exclusively made by Honeywell, a Fortune 100 company with annual sales approaching $40 Billion. 245fa is a very lucrative product for Honeywell and they promote it every chance they get, which is relatively easy given their vast corporate resources. The result is a massive propagation of "positive press" for closed cell foams. 245fa is a great product, which is why everyone uses it, but sometimes the benefits of open cell foam get lost in the discussion. So, in summary, water is free and therefore no one has the incentive to push the product on the market, while Enovate, the closed cell blowing agent, is the patented product of a very large company Fortune 100 company that wants to market it as much as possible to get a good return on their investment.
Note that water can be used as the blowing agent in closed cell foam. Water blown closed cell foams can only reach the low to mid R-5 range. If you see water blown closed cell foam advertising R-values above this range it is likely an "initial R-value". In like manner, if you see a 245fa foam advertised with an R-value in the high 6 or low 7 range, it is definitely an initial value. Since these foams reach their aged R-values in about a month (depends on depth), the initial R-value is a meaningless number. Manufacturers that advertise initial R-values without aged values are unethical in my opinion, but that is a subject for another paper. "Aged R-value" is discussed later in this paper.
There are a handful of advantages that closed cell foam has over open cell foam, just as many people would argue open cell has advantages over closed cell. This paper attempts to explain the benefits and drawbacks of each type of foam in an attempt to arm consumers with the information they need to make the correct insulation choice for their project.
What Does Open Cell and Closed Cell Mean?
When foam is installed in a home or other structure a cellular plastic is being made on site. For simplicity, think of it as bubbles in a bubble bath. The insulation cures very quickly and of course is dry once cured, unlike the bubbles in a bubble bath.
In open cell foam, a majority of the millions of bubbles share walls with one another, thus making it soft and airy. Only a few percent of the finished product is plastic and the rest is mostly carbon dioxide trapped within the structure. These foams typically are light and only weight .5-.6 pounds per cubic foot. The general definition in the industry for open cell foam is that greater than 50% of the cells are open.
Closed cell foam forms in a similar manner, but a majority of the cells in closed cell foam are independent from the other cells in that they have their own cell structure and do not share any of their structure with other cells. The resulting foam has a much higher plastic content and less air/gas content. The foam is strong and rigid and typically weighs in the 1.7-2.0 pound per cubic foot range. The general definition in the industry for closed cell foam is that greater than 90% of the cells are closed.
What's the Difference to Homeowners, Builders, Engineers, and Architects?
There are three major differences between these two products, those being price, insulating value per inch of thickness, and moisture permeability.
Open cell foam is typically R-3.5-R-4.0 per inch as opposed to R-6.0-R-6.5 (aged) for closed cell foam. Open cell foam lends itself to applications where space is not limited, like in an attic or crawl space. On the other hand, closed cell foam is a great option for getting very high R-values in shallow spaces. The "R-value" of both of these products is a high quality stable R-value that will not materially fluctuate with wind speed, moisture, or temperature. Fibrous insulators like cellulose and fiberglass are constantly changed by these factors. It's important to note that open cell foam is an air barrier. Many people take its name - "Open Cell" - to mean that the cells are wide open for air to freely move through the foam. This is not true. Typical air permeance for open cell foam is around .005 L/S/M2 (liters per second per square meter) under 75 Pa pressure at a depth of 3.5". Closed cell is less than half of that at the same R-value. Both of these rates are incredibly small and undetectable by humans without the use of measuring devices.
R-values of closed cell foam also change over time, while the change in R-value of open cell foams over time is immaterial. Closed cell foams have a high initial R-value right when they are installed because the blowing agent used fills the cells with a gas that is less conductive to heat flow than the air we breathe. Over time (usually a month or two) the gas in the cells will diffuse into the atmosphere and will be replaced with plain old air. This lowers the R-value to an aged value in the 6.0-6.5 range. As discussed previously in this paper, water can be used as the blowing agent for closed cell foam. In these cases there is no degradation of R-value, but the initial R-value is in the low R-5 range.
Closed cell foam is always more expensive per "R". So, you could expect an R-13 of closed cell to be more expensive than R-13 of open cell. This is simply due to the fact that plastic costs more than air. There is much more plastic in closed cell than in open cell. It takes three times the amount of chemicals to make a board foot of closed cell foam as it does to make open cell foam. The Enovate 245fa blowing agent in closed cell foam is also much more expensive than the water used as the blowing agent in open cell foam.
Moisture permeability is the most controversial characteristic of these two insulators and is the focus of this paper. Moisture permeability is measured in perms and represents how much moisture can move through a given material. A perm is defined as a grain of water per hour per square foot per inch of atmospheric pressure. For purposes of this discussion, let's just say that a perm is the amount of water on a small pinhead. The higher a perm rating, the greater the amount of moisture that can pass through the material. Open cell foam typically has a perm rating of around 15 for 2'' depth. Closed cell foam typically has a perm rating around 1 perm for 2" of depth. For comparison purposes, unfaced fiberglass has a perm rating over 100 for an R-13 batt.
Moisture has been a concern in homes since the dawn of time. Fred Flintstone probably had cracks in his stone ceiling that let water into his living room. In the 21st century building science has advance far beyond caves and involves hundreds of building materials. For purposes of this discussion, let's just discuss the gas and liquid forms of water.
Any polyurethane foam will hold up well to liquid water relative to other building materials. They are plastics and when they get wet they dry. Closed cell foam has stellar performance in these situations. In most cases, no significant amount of water will even enter the cell structure of the foam. Once the conditions that cause the water problem are removed, assuming the foam isn't under water for months on end, the foam will simply dry out and return to action no worse for wear. On the other hand, the structure of open cell foam is not nearly as strong and it will take on water if a leak is bad enough. In the case of a roof leak or wind driven rain, open cell will simply dry out and return to normal once the leak is stopped. However, in the case of a flood that lasts for days on end whereby the foam is submerged, the pressure and weight against the foam will likely damage its cell structure beyond repair. It should be noted here that open cell foam will not wick water. This is a myth that you may have seen or heard of at a trade show. Closed cell advocates often have a bowl of colored water and drop chunks of open cell foam into it so you can watch it sink. We guarantee that if you have someone spray a piece of open cell foam, cut it up, and drop it in a bowl of water, it will sit on the top of the water for days on end. If you squeeze the piece of open cell foam like the demonstrators at a home show, the cell structure will be destroyed and, yes, it will sink and take on water. What does all of this tell you? If you live near a creek or other flood prone areas, or if you have an older home with bad basement drainage, you should seriously consider paying the premium for closed cell foam.
Now to the fun part – water vapor and moisture permeance. This is an area of great debate and misunderstanding in the insulation market and construction world as a whole. Most building inspectors and other industry "specialists" have very limited knowledge of it. As discussed earlier, closed cell foam has a low vapor perm rating (1 for 2") and Open cell foam has a higher rating of around 10 (for 5"). Using generally accepted terms in the industry, closed cell foam is referred to as "vapor semi-impermeable" and open cell foam is referred to as "vapor semi-permeable". A few points should be made prior to this discussion. First, moisture will move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, which usually means it moves from warm to cold. Second, warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. Finally, this country has many different climates, so if you hear an expert from Texas tell you the "correct" way to insulate your home, you may want to consult a local expert. A good insulation solution in Minneapolis isn't necessarily good for New York and a good solution for Miami isn't the same as Seattle. The people you consult for building and insulation advice should have a thorough understanding of the local climate and building science. Unfortunately, most people in the industry don't have this expertise. This is another example of why you should be very careful about drawing conclusions from something you see on the Internet. Every opinion you see on the Internet likely has an opposing opinion somewhere else on the Internet. Gather as much info as you can.
Every material used in building has a vapor permeance rating. Let's discuss walls. In this region we typically see a wood framed wall cavity filled with insulation. It has painted drywall on one side and plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) sheathing on the other. On the outside of the sheathing we typically see a Tyvek type house wrap. Outside of that we see either brick or vinyl. Without discussing insulation yet, every one of these building materials (as installed on your home or building) is vapor semi-permeable or permeable meaning that moisture can flow or diffuse through them with relative ease. To add another dimension, most of these materials have the capacity to hold various amounts of moisture, sometimes referred to as the hygric buffer capacity. For example, the wood used to build an average home is capable of holding 50 gallons of water without causing a moisture problem. Vinyl siding and Tyvek have no storage capacity. Drywall has a little storage capacity. Brick and block have tons of storage capacity – like ten times the amount of wood! Steel studs have no storage capacity.
Insulation moisture permeability varies significantly. Here are the most popular in our region:
Vapor Permeable
Much Greater Than 20 perms
Vapor Permeable
Much Greater Than 20 perms
Open Cell Foam
Vapor Semi Permeable
10 perms at 5'' depth
Closed Cell Foam
Vapor Semi-Impermeable
Less than 1 perm at 2''
Fiberglass and Cellulose are often installed with polyethylene (plastic) or Kraft facing. Polyethylene will effectively make the fiberglass or cellulose semi-impermeable, and Kraft facing will make fiberglass semi permeable.
New York State Climate
The climate of New York state is typically considered cold (not as extreme as sub-arctic or arctic). The US Department of Energy has seven climate zones. The major cities in upstate NY, like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany, are all in zone 5. Interior and northern portions of the state are considered zone 6 (colder). We have both a heating season and a cooling season with the heating season being longer than the cooling season. Buffalo, for example, has 6,840 heating degree days on average, and 570 cooling degree days. A degree day is when the average temperature for a day is above or below 65 degrees. If the average temperature for today was 60 degrees it would result in 5 heating degree days. If the average turned out to be 70 degrees there would be 5 cooling degree days. In recorded history, annual heating degree days have never exceeded 7,400 in Buffalo, and cooling degree days have never exceeded 1,000.
Acceptable Building Design
Building in WNY consists of literally thousands of combinations of building materials to construct wall and roof assemblies. Each material has a vapor permeance and the assembly as a whole should be taken into account when determining if it is acceptable from a moisture control standpoint, along with the expected interior and exterior weather conditions. This is exactly why the generalizations of the Building Code or an inexperienced building envelope professional can be detrimental to your structure. This paper will focus on a typical wood framed dwelling with drywall and latex paint on the inside. Metal skinned buildings or buildings with a high vapor drive like pools and coolers need special attention and are not discussed in depth here.
Water vapor can travel through convection and diffusion. With respect to polyurethane foams, convection is a non-issue since they are, for all intents and purposes, air barriers. Diffusion on the other hand is where moisture permeance comes into play in foam. The general rule of thumb with moisture is to keep it out of building assemblies, but when it gets in make sure it has a way out. It's important to note here that most building codes require a vapor barrier to be present on the winter warm side in wall and roof assemblies. We and most other building science experts feel that typical buildings in mixed climates like ours don't need a vapor barrier at all. This is also known as a flow through design that allows moisture to move toward the exterior in winter and the interior in summer. It sounds radical to many, but it makes sense. In the winter, moisture will tend to drive from inside to outside. A flow through design using open cell foam will allow the moisture to move through or be stored in the structure itself (note that this is not a bad thing unless the moisture content exceeds the hygric capacity of the materials used). In the summer the hot humid air will drive moisture into the house in the opposite direction. It's basically one big moisture swap game whereby the moisture content of the building builds during winter and then dries out during summer.
Closed cell foam in a wall cavity works just as well so long as it is applied to a depth whereby its warm side surface temperature is kept above the dew point (usually 2"). In the winter the exterior sheathing will not be at risk for saturation because cold air doesn't hold much moisture. On the interior, the moisture will not condense on the foam and the minimal amount of moisture produced in the home will be stored within the wood studs and drywall. In the summer any moisture driven toward the home will be absorbed and stored by the sheathing and will dry in the fall and winter. Any moisture stored in the drywall and studs on the interior of the home will dry to the inside in the summer. Keep in mind that although there are ten times as many heating degree days in our region than cooling degree days, the vapor drive in the summer is much higher because warm summer outdoor air can hold much more moisture than conditioned indoor air.
Insulating of attics with foam can be done in two different ways in our region. The attic can be sprayed directly to the underside of the roofline with no ventilation, or the floor of the attic can be sprayed in a so-called cold roof system. Using the attic floor method, the use of either foam will adequately control moisture as long as the depth of the foam (R-11 or higher) prevents condensation on its surface and attic ventilation through soffit and ridge vents is adequate.
Insulation directly to the underside of the roof deck works perfectly with closed cell foam although it is relatively expensive. Some moisture will accumulate in the wood rafters during the winter, but it will be driven out during the summer.
There exists some disagreement within the building science community about the use of open cell foam directly to roof decks in our climate. The concern lies in its moisture permeance and the fact that it isn't really possible to build a flow through system in a roof. In other words, the moisture from the home in the winter is driven through the foam and collects within the roof deck because it can't get past the (mostly) impermeable roof paper and shingles. Some feel that a vapor retardant paint should be used in our region over the surface of the foam so moisture can't get to the roof deck.
Our opinion on the roofline application of open cell foam in our climate is that vapor retardant paint is not necessary unless the home is expected to have unusual amounts of moisture present (i.e. many inhabitants, bathroom fans not used, excessive indoor temps). In the winter, the hygric buffer capacity of the materials in the home will absorb this moisture and the walls will let moisture pass through. In the summer the roofline will dry to the inside due to very hot roof temperatures. The most recent Building Code has confirmed our position as open cell foam is allowed to be sprayed to a roofline in Zone 5 with no vapor barrier.
Our opinion is also based on logic. Open cell foam has been installed in this manner in upstate New York for decades now. We are unaware of any roof failures resulting from this application method in the region. Additionally, we are only aware of a few failures in the entire country and those were all in extremely cold winter climate areas where heating degree days surpass 8,000. The applicator in those cases either put an insufficient amount of insulation in the roofline or they failed to use a vapor barrier (which must be used with open cell in climates that are that cold). Even if you don't subscribe to our opinion, open cell foam sprayed directly to a roofline can be coated with a vapor retardant paint for $0.10-$0.15 per SF, which will effectively give it the moisture permeability properties of closed cell foam.
As a side note, the lack of ventilation to the roof deck has been studied extensively. The consensus opinion is that the lack of ventilation will degrade roof life only a few percent. The color of the roof is a much larger factor. For example, a black shingle will have a 30% shorter lifespan than a gray shingle even though they are made of the exact same material. Spending additional money to ventilate a roof deck (baffles, soffits, vents) in an effort to prolong the lifespan of your shingles by a few percent is not a good investment in my opinion. Once again, our opinion has been confirmed in the International Building Code, which does not require the use of ventilation when spray foam is applied directly to the underside of roof sheathing.
In summary, both open and closed cell foam are phenomenal products that outperform all of their competing insulation materials by far. You can use either product with confidence, but remember that every structure is different and special attention must be given to the moisture and air permeability properties of your ENTIRE wall and roof assemblies to ensure that they can accept and release moisture to avoid degradation of the structure and other associated problems.

Story Behind the Song: 'Still Feels Good,' Rascal Flatts
It's about being with somebody for so long — your wife or husband or whoever — and saying, "It still feels good, after all this time." You know, with divorce being like 55-percent these days, it seems like it's just easier for people to get a divorce instead of trying to make it work. So this is just a way to say, "After all this time together, it still feels good. It still feels like the first time."

Tampa Bay Downs is planning a repeat of its current racing schedule, again with the controversial two extra days that helped it significantly increase its business in Florida's lucrative host track simulcasting market.
With New Year's Eve approaching, it's time for Gulfstream Park and Calder Casino & Race Course to fire the first shots in their next battle over racing dates.
Calder Casino & Race Course said Dec. 23 the grade III La Prevoyante Handicap on the grass, scheduled for Dec. 28, has been canceled.
Calder Casino & Race Course on Dec. 20 released its 2014 stakes schedule through July 5, when it will hold the annual Summit of Speed with four graded sprint stakes.

Hialeah Park has begun its fifth consecutive Quarter Horse racing season and is preparing for a year in which it might have its biggest chance yet to regain a Thoroughbred racing license.
The winter racing season officially arrives in the Miami area Nov. 30 when Gulfstream Park begins what it is calling the "Champions Meet" for 2013-14.
Calder Casino & Race Course is planning a mid-December move of its poker room from its racing building to its casino building, perhaps in an effort to increase revenue.
About 100 representatives of the southeast Florida horse industry took their "Horse Racing Keeps Florida Running!" message to an Oct. 23 public workshop on possible changes in pari-mutuel and gaming laws.
Racing will resume in the Miami area Oct. 25, with Calder Casino & Race Course saying it will keep sending its live and imported signals to Gulfstream Park rather than joining Gulfstream in a cross-town simulcast blackout.
Tampa Bay Downs finished first again in August in Florida for host-track revenue on import simulcasts, and it appears that questions about the track's year-round eligibility for host status will remain unresolved for now.
In what amounts to another victory in its battle with neighboring Calder Casino & Race Course, Gulfstream Park announced Sept. 19 it will hold the inaugural Sunshine Millions Preview Day on Nov. 9.
Horsemen in southeast Florida are optimistic that Gulfstream Park and the Florida HBPA will have group workers' compensation insurance coverage for backstretch employees at Gulfstream early next year.
John Patrick Unick, who has advised several Thoroughbred racetracks and horseman's groups in arranging workers' compensation insurance policies, is helping southeast Florida horsemen prepare a similar program for Gulfstream.
The red-hot team of Frank Carl Calabrese and Kirk Ziadie won the owner and trainer titles, respectively, at the Calder meet that ended Aug. 31. But they're also making noise at neighboring Gulfstream.
Calder Casino & Race Course came in last among Florida's three Thoroughbred tracks in July in the lucrative business of host-track simulcasting of races from Thoroughbred tracks outside the state.
Hialeah Park opened a casino Aug. 14, taking its biggest step yet in the redevelopment started in 2009 when it reopened with Quarter Horse racing.
Two recent reports show that Tampa Bay Downs and Gulfstream Park are making big inroads into Florida's lucrative host-track simulcast market., while host revenue for Calder fell by $5.1 million in this year's second quarter
Southeast Florida began its fourth head-to-head racing weekend July 27 with Gulfstream holding an almost 2-1 edge in pari-mutuel handle and Calder rejecting speculation it might soon cancel racing dates.
Gulfstream Park was the runaway winner over Calder Casino and Race Course July 13-14 in their head-to-head battle, at least in terms of wagering. Gulfstream handled about $4.5 million to Calder's $1.4 million.
After three months of Calder Casino & Race Course's 2013 season, horsemen are frustrated over the lack of a purse agreement with the Miami Gardens, Fla., track.
The first weekend showdown between Calder Casino & Race Course and Gulfstream Park had both tracks claiming some wagering success.
Gulfstream Park had all-sources handle of $3.3 million for eight races July 4, its best total during the first three days of its first season of summer racing.
Gulfstream Park began its first summer meet July 1. Most of the horses shipped from Calder for the card will not be welcome back.
Calder Casino & Race Course provided more details on its ban on the return of shippers that race at Gulfstream Park June 29, and several trainers responded by making plans to move their stables cross-town to Gulfstream.
Beginning July 1, Calder Casino & Race Course will prohibit horses stabled at Calder from re-entering its grounds if trainers send them to race at other Florida tracks, it was announced June 28.
Gulfstream Park had all-sources handle of $1,986,428 for eight races June 25 as it held the first summer racing day in its 75-year history.
Live racing returns to Gulfstream Park Tuesday, June 25 with 84 entrants, including also-eligibles, for an eight-race card.
Gulfstream Park president Tim Ritvo said June 14 it appears Gulfstream and Calder Casino & Race Course will race head-to-head on weekends beginning July 6.
Little Mike is likely to start in the United Nations Stakes (gr. IT) July 6, the first of a four-race series picked by breeder and co-owner Carlo Vacarezza that would end with a defense of his 2012 Breeders' Cup Turf title.

Step 1
Rub lamb well with cut sides of 1 garlic clove; discard garlic. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary, salt and pepper; rub in 1 teaspoon oil. Cover and let marinate in refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
Step 2
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the second garlic clove and lamb chops. (If using rib chops, it may be necessary to sear them in batches. Do not wipe the pan clean between batches.) Sear the lamb on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and sear on the other side for 1 minute; reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the second side is golden brown and the center is still slightly pink. Transfer the lamb to a platter and keep warm.
Step 3
Spoon away any excess fat, leaving the browned bits in the bottom, and return the pan (with garlic halves) to high heat. Add vinegar and bring to a boil, scraping the pan for browned bits. Stir in broth, rosemary sprig and bay leaf; boil until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the garlic, rosemary sprig and bay leaf, then season the sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon over the lamb and serve immediately.

It will be used around 10k, and i was thinking between the impreza not wrx or the legacy 2.5 rs which i believe both has 170 hp. The imprezas look very small and seem like they have no leg room in the back. It should be a 00-05 or a 03+legacy. What will fit my need, i do like some decent horsepower, im gonna need it to drive in the city alot so i want a automatic transmission and need it to drive in decent snow? Which suby should i get?

The "Change in Caribbean Government Plan" lists possible responses to a potential outbreak of anarchy in the event of the fall of the Castro regime. The plans include coastguard action should a fleet of small boats be launched from Cuba to escape unrest or a flotilla of Miami's Cuban exiles head off in the other direction.
"We activated the emergency operations centre on Monday night and it was in operation until 5 o'clock yesterday [Tuesday]," said Cynthia Martínez, a spokeswoman for Miami-Dade county authorities. "We took out the plan and dusted it off, in case we needed it."
Ms Martínez said details of the contingency plan were classified, but official statements and reports from the last time Mr Castro's demise seemed imminent (when he fainted in 2001) give some clues to scenarios being considered in Miami, home to more than 650,000 Cuban-Americans.
The coastguard would step up patrols to intercept rafts coming out of Cuba if unrest on the island triggered an exodus. If necessary, the navy would be called in. A sea invasion in the other direction is also possible if Cuban exiles could not wait to set foot on their homeland again and set sail to look for relatives or reclaim their old homes, a likely cause of conflict with current occupants.
The Miami-Dade emergency centre, a reinforced room bristling with television and computer screens, is normally used to deal with hurricanes. but for 24 hours it was braced for regime change. One part of the plan was a rumour hotline, a number Miami residents could call for updates on Mr Castro's health or news of roads closed for celebrations.

A science teacher attempting to win back his girlfriend during auditions for +Macbeth finds out just how powerful the curse surrounding Shakespeare's popular play truly is when he inadvertently wrecks havoc on the production by breaking the cardinal rule of every theater. Danny though that by crashing the auditions while wearing his heart on his sleeve, his girlfriend would welcome him back with open arms. Instead, the director mistook Danny's impassionate plea for forgiveness as a well-rehearsed monologue, and promptly cast him as "Witch 1." But Danny is hardly an actor, and the moment he utters the word "Macbeth" things truly start to get strange. Later, as lights fall from the ceiling and the voice of a singing pirate ghost echoes through the auditorium, Danny enlists the aid of a new-age actress, a no-nonsense self-help guru, and a science-fiction loving stage manager in saving the cast, and the love of his life, from the theater world's most infamous curse. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This is a very difficult question to answer...
At the time of the violent act that initiated the self defense I would probably feel nothing but adrenaline and the overwhelming need to survive.
Later I might feel regret or remorse thinking what I could have done different to prevent, avoid or change the situation. However just like anything else it would do no good wondering "what if" because what is done is done. You can't change the past.
On a lighter note I thought the following sort of relevant...
Katie Couric, while interviewing a Marine sniper, asked: "What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist?"
The Marine shrugged and replied: "Recoil."
Short answer, "No"
Long answer: When I first started deer hunting I did wonder how I would feel about shooting a defenseless deer. My families has always had pets, dogs, cats, horses, etc and usually hold them in high regard as members of the family, so could I actually pull the trigger on a Bambi?
Well when I finally got a chance, I had no trouble shooting, did not feel bad about it. Keep in mind this was a cute deer that was not threatening me or my family in any way.
Could I shoot a scumbag that is intent on harming me or someone I love. You betcha! I am sure I would feel no more remorse than they would after harming me! (NONE what so ever!) I did not ask them to attack me, I in no way provoked the attack, they made a conscious decision to attack me, knowing full well the possible outcomes. Granted they probably did not expect me to fight back with a gun, but thats just poor thought process on their part.
For the short answer:
Not everyone would develop PTSD, and if it came across like I was saying 100%, that wasn't the intent.
Some people will have the ASD and it will fade naturally with no further issue. It's somewhat like a car accident. The first time you drive after being in one, you may drive a little slower, look in your mirrors more, leave extra room when following, etc. After awhile though, you'll get back to your normal driving habbits.
For SOME though, if they do nothing to deal with having killed someone, it can and will come back to haunt them. It's easy before hand to say "If he's threatening me, I can kill him. No problem." After the fact, a fair number of people will second guess their actions. This is even more likely in our society where everyone wants to armchair quarterback with the benefit of hindsight. That second guessing, coupled with a myriad of other factors, is what leads to PTSD.
By recognizing the ASD following the incident, and dealing with the mental/emotional aftermath of the shooting immediately, it significantly reduces the likelihood of PTSD.
Don't take my word for it. The information is out there, and it's not written by touchy, feely people, it's written by people who do it for a living.
Highly recommend starting with LTC (Ret) Dave Grossman's books.
By putting someone else in a position where lethal force would be necessary, he has already proven he has no regard for his own life.
The play out of the situation itself comes down to training and what is needed to survive.
And your wife has a perfectly valid point, for the rate that school age children are getting shot up in the city of Chicago, he'll likely see a bullet, he'll likely see gang violence before that probation is over.
As to the lack of sense of responsibility it's not just an age thing and it's not just a Chicago thing, there have been many folks who have no sense of ramifications to their actions, just watch a weeks worth of those mock court TV shows and you'll see a large spectrum of people who blame someone else.
Life/survival with emotional scarring would be preferred over helplessness/death I would think, by most everyone.
To possibly have a moment's hesitation at the thought of killing another human being, no matter what the situation, is perfectly normal.
I'm 100% sure that I wouldn't have a problem defending myself or my loved ones from a life threatening situation, and would do what needed to be done to ensure our safety. I wouldn't have a problem choosing my life over some scumbags life that wanted to do harm to me, and I don't think that I would have any hesitation doing so...having assed the situation to be justified in doing so. Having said that I feel that I wouldn't have any emotional scarring from the insident. I have never killed anyone before so I cannot say for certain that I would not have a problem with it...and most people couldn't. Being in a war situation and having to go through such a thing gives some people the answer to that question. Most of us do not know the toll it would take.
At the beginning of our class to get a concealed carry permit, the Sheriff Deputy asked point blank, "would you have any second thoughts about taking the life of another human being with your firearm?" If so, you may want to think twice about getting a permit and carrying a firearm.
There were the brave responses of he** yes I would yada, yada. I thought for a moment and got angry at the scenario of some punk putting me into the situation whereby I need to shoot and possibly kill him. Would I do it? Would I regret it? Would it bother or haunt me? Yes on all three questions.
I would do it push come to shove because of my strong urge of self-preservation. I know that someday I will die, but not letting someone else decide that for me.
I would regret it in the fact that someone made the decision to remove themself from the human race and be what they are and forced me to end their existience. I don't wake each and every day thinking I will have to engage in such a scene.
It would haunt me because we all think and feel that human life is precious but it would not ruin me or make me feel that I was to blame. Eventually I would get over it and return to a normal life.
In the late 1980's I was involved in a SD shooting - I fired one round - striking the BG who was intent upon robbing us (small family store) and kidnapping my wife. I tried repeatedly to talk him out of it and in the end he left me no choice - I lost sleep over this for a couple of months (I think it was mainly due to continued threats by his family and loss of contact with my friends who were firefighters and local cops - they could not speak to me due to ongoing investigation and DA's slow reply in "no charging" me) .
I took the time afterward to re-evaluate my beliefs and re-assess the situation n the world, I probably have a better idea than most what my response would be in the future...
I've had dogs all my life so I don't believe that to be true.
He told me he shot a rapist several years back. Told me that he still has nightmares and has stopped carrying.
If you have a conscience, morals, respect for other human life, it will haunt you--- even if you were entirely legally justified.
I've never felt bad about physically defending myself, and I've hunted since I was a teenager, so no, I don't think I would have emotional trouble shooting someone who was threatening me or mine to the point I was justified in shooting them.
If someone has forced me to pull my weapon out in self defense, in my mind they have forfeted there life and thats that.
I guess I'll go against the grain here, but...
I think that I would have an issue in dealing with the shooting of another human being.
I like to think that this is what makes me inherently better than the criminals. The voice that would whisper, "Perhaps you could have...", or, "Maybe if only...", would give me pause to think, but I am ultimately confident enough in myself and my training to know that I would do the right thing. Hence my choice to continue carrying.
Without that voice, we lose something very important.
I call it my Humanity.

Ready for an elegant evening celebrating film, stars arrived at the 40th Anniversary Chaplin Award Gala in New York City on Monday (April 22).
The evening's guest of honor, Barbra Streisand, graced the arrivals carpet at the Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in a floor-length black gown, accompanied by husband James Brolin.
In one of the most beautiful performances in recent memory, the 85th Academy Awards held a moving tribute to the movie musical genre.
And none other than "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fever" hunk John Travolta had the honor of introducing the segment at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood earlier tonight (February 24).
Hollywood was extra bright tonight (February 24) as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas showed up at the 85th Academy Awards.
The "Chicago" star got all gussied up in a Zuhair Murad gold dress with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and hit the red carpet for some serious shutterbug action prior to the big show.
Given Tinseltown's propensity for rumors, it's not surprising that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have been forced to defend their 12-year marriage.
Recently, reports began surfacing that the showbiz couple is in the midst of a "hush hush trial separation," though it turns out nothing could be farther from the truth.
Taking care of some promotional duties, the cast of "Side Effects" premiered their new flick in New York City last night (January 31).
Earlier this afternoon (January 24), Yahoo Movies released a short clip for the film "Side Effects."
The preview features Channing Tatum and Rooney Mara in a party scene, which occurs shortly after Tatum's character comes home from jail.
Arriving on the west coast, Catherine Zeta Jones landed at LAX Airport on Monday (January 21).
The "Chicago" star looked chic in a black pant suit accented with a white bowed blouse and a jaunty hat as she toted her metallic bag through the busy terminal.
Taking care of her to-do list, Catherine Zeta Jones stepped out of her swanky Upper West Side residence in New York City this afternoon (January 17).
The "Entrapment" starlet sported a black winter coat over a violet dress with black open-toed heels as she held off the shutterbugs with an outstretched arm.

Georgia Sweeps UAB
March 3, 2013
ATHENS----The Bulldog offense rolled again Sunday with 15 hits in a 13-2 victory over the UAB Blazers to complete a three-game sweep at Foley Field.
Georgia starter Luke Crumley faced an early challenge in the second inning. After hitting two consecutive batters and surrendering a single to Sam Kelley, he was faced with a bases loaded, one out situation. Crumley remained composed and was able to retire the last two Blazers to end the inning.
The Bulldogs' bats came alive in the fourth inning as they batted around, plating six runs off of five hits. Freshman Sean McLaughlin, who started at pitcher and got the win on Friday, led the charge and produced his first two career RBI with a single to right field. Zach Bowers, Nelson Ward, Curt Powell, and Kyle Farmer were also credited with RBIs in the fourth. Farmer batted .692 (9-for-13) in the series while Ward hit .643 (9-for-14).
"They played great. We did a great job battling with every at-bat and getting the opposing pitcher to raise his pitch count," asid Georgia coach David Perno. "McLaughlin and Ward had some great at bats. We did enough to get their starter out early and then took advantage of their bullpen. Luke Crumley was outstanding getting out of that bases loaded jam early on in the game. It ended up a great start by Crumley, and we had some good, quality innings out of the bullpen. Our team has great confidence and the players are feeding off of each other. We're in a good place right now."
Georgia (5-6) added a pair of runs in the fifth. Brett DeLoach, who was hit by a pitch, scored the first run after Bowers smacked a double to left field. Ward knocked in Bowers with a single giving him his third hit of the day and 11 hits in 17 at-bats with four RBIs over the past four games. Georgia led 8-0 after five frames.
Farmer had a three-run, bases clearing double to left center in the seventh inning. This was Farmer's second hit of the game and ninth hit in 13 at-bats along with six RBIs in the series.
UAB (4-7) had three hits and two runs in the eighth inning off freshman Palmer Betts in his debut. After a single by Chase Davis and a double by Ryan Prinzing, they were driven in by teammates John Frost and Jeff Schalk. The Blazers trailed 11-2 after eight innings.
Bowers smashed a two-run home run to left field in the ninth inning. He leads the team with three long balls and was the first home run with runners on base for the Bulldogs this season after six solo shots.
Crumley (1-2) earned his first win of the season. He pitched five scoreless innings with three strikeouts while giving up five hits, giving the Bulldogs back-to-back scoreless outings by starting pitchers. Bulldog relief featured Ross Ripple, Dylan Cole, Palmer Betts, and Jared Walsh.
UAB starter Chase Mallard (0-1) received the loss after giving up three runs on four hits in three innings. Cameron Rose tossed two innings surrendering five runs on six hits. Jacob German and Adam Lau also made appearances out of the bullpen.
The Bulldogs return to action on Tuesday and will play host to Western Carolina. First pitch is slated for 5 p.m.

Really cool and modern looking hostel. In a good location and easy to find. Its only shortcoming was that it lacked a good common room to hang out and meet other travelers.
