Nov. 8. Kalherene Manton today ^.as appointed secretary of state of Oklahoma succeeding Frank Carter, who resigned because of failing health and advanced age. Miss Manton thus becomes toe first woman secretary of state in the history of Oklahima. She was assistant secretary under Carter, who resigned yesterday at the age of 84. Her appointment was urged by Carter when he submitted his resignation to Gov. Robert S. Kerr but legal difficulties arose and the governor asked Williamson for an opinion. The attorney general was asked to ascertain whether, since the general election is past, it was mandatory upon him to appoint Cartwright, who apparently was elected to the post for a term beginning in January. Williamson said he would rule that Cartwright will not be officially elected until the legislature convenes in January to canvass the returns. Erie P. Halliburton, newly elected president of the organization, was one of the principal speakers at the noon luncheon Thursday and used as his subject Minerals in Oklahoma's Industrial Future." In bringing out his point of how to prepare now for the fu JJE6*. Halliburton asserted that Oklahoma s mineral reserves are enormous. Coal reserves, for example. are estimated at 55 billion tons; natural gas, over nine and a half trillion cubic feet, gypsum, 125 J1*?? J0.1?8' More than five and J naif billion barrels of oil have been produced from Oklahoma's wells, and geologists predict that still greater deposits are yet to be tapped within the state's border. No Dispute Over Resources "No one will deny that Oklahoma is abundant in natural resources. No one will dispute the tact that Oklahoma's mineral and industrial development has been phenomenal. And no one will deny that Oklahoma will play an increasingly important role in the industrial world .... IF we pepetuate our American Way of Life," Halliburton stated. He pointed out that natural resources alone do not explain the wealth of Oklahoma any more than they explain the wealth of America, the richest country in the world. To make the points of his talk stay on as standing facts, Halliburton told the story about two islands that are no larger than a single Oklahoma county, yet millions of dollars are invested/ in industries. * Halliburton assured the listening group that things that require no mental or physical effort have little or no value. Finances Have Part Eugene McElvanev, vice pres-jdent- First National bank Dal-as. Texas, spoke at the noon luncheon on "Financing Industries rn the Southwest" or how finance will increase the developments of numerous natural resources. Beating home a trip-hammer delivery, McEl-vaney said that industries are started when a man with an idea convinces a man with the money that the idea backed by money I will make a profit. "Speed, volume, delivery!" I was given by McElvaney as the method in which things worked during the war and added that the demands for certain processed materials are just a great as ever, but the producer is going to have to go to the consumer instead of the consumer going to the industry. "Business talent and ability, like character, are challenged and developed and strengthened by adversity and tough going_ by competition." the bank president said. Mr. Dott of the Geological Survey explained to the group in his afternoon talk, accompanied by a picture camera that enabled him to give chalk talks, that the well-being of the people of a region or nation is dependent upon many types of resources—natural resources including climate, geographic location, water, agricultural, mineral, and fuel resources including climate, geographic location, water, agricultural, mineral, and fuel resources are basic necessities with which to work. It was explained by the head of the survey that many types of minerals are available in this area that will not be worth while or productive until man makes use of them.

ARROWSMITH WASHINGTON. Nov Jl™ The administration is getting ready to junk virtually all remaining price and wage controls ™??d^ ^ learned todaY that OPA Chief Paul Porter plans to resign. Only a final okay from President Truman was reported necessary to strip away all remaining price ceilings except those on rents, sugar, syrups and rice. Many other wartime controls such as those on wages are expected to disappear at the same time. Porter For Quick Friends of Porter said he hopes the White House decision "would come quickly." They added that as soon as it it jounced Porter will go to ♦ u House for a private talk with President Truman and offer his resignation. Porter was drafted from the chairmanship of the Federal Communications Commissi on early in the war to serve in a number of key agencies. He took over the OPA when former Administrator Chester Bowles resigned last June. Truman Near Ruling Friends of Porter said he had teen Pressing for a clarification of White House policy on remaining price lids ever since President Truman yanked the ceiling from meats and livestock on Oct. 14. One high government official told a reporter that Mr. Truman will make a final ruling in a day or so and probably announce it next week. The concensus among agency officials who have been conferring the last two weeks with Reconversion Director John R Stedman is that the time has come to junk nearly all of the control program, except for rents and sugar. There is some opposition to this, notably on the part of housing Administrator Wilson W.

(ease Fire Order To Chinese Troops NANKING, Nov. 8. — (ZP) — Chian!; Kai-Shek tonight announced he had issued orders to all government troops to cease fire, except as necessary to de-id their Preser*t positions. Tho truce order was designed to eliminate the communists' principal argument against participating in the national assembly, scheduled to open Tuesday to revise China's constitution. I- was issued as Chiang's troops had crushed communist opposition m much of China and found them victoriously encircling Rus-s.an-occupied Dairen, fighting bitterly to capture Chefoo and Stantung province and approaching Amtung on the Manchuria-Korean border. There was no immediate indication how long it would take Chiangs order to become effects? on the farflung battlefields. The truce was a last-minute effort to insure all party representation at the assembly and came after weeks of hopeless deadlock as the communists refused to ne-goti.' on the government's teems. The truce order followed a prolonged meeting at noon of National Assembly delegates. Chiang a dressed them briefly part in uniform—there will be a program at the McSwain theater at 10:45. The principal speaker will be Charles F. Spencer, mayor and himself a navy veteran of World War II. The public is invited to attend the program. Assisting in the program will be Rev. Mitchell S. Epperson. First Presbyterian church pastor: John Roy Harris, pastor's associate. First Baptist church and War I veteran; the College Concert Singers. Gold Star Mothers will be introduced and given special honor. They'll Be Sorry, Awn Jim Farley Says Republicans Will Wish They#d Never Won Control of Sonata W. A. Delaney. Jr.. will sell his famous Hereford show herd at his January 4 auction at the Lazy D ranch—but he isn t going out of the Hereford business. After the sale he will form a cattle partnership with Jack Smith, who has been manager of the Lazy D ranch for several years. It is estimated that the registered cattle of the Lazy D herd have a value of about $500,000. Delaney has given this reason for the sale and subsequent partnership with Smith: "I give him full credit for developing my herd. Any man 'bat has his capacity and his capabilities should be rewarded with more than a salary. He is entitled to the price of ownership." There will be notable animals offered in the January sale. Am-ing them are a full brother, sister and sire of Del Zento I. for whom George Rodanze of Stottville. Canada, last January paid the then world's record price of $51,000 for a Hereford bull. The sire. Beau Zento 54th. is among the top ranking herd sires of the nation. The sale last January averaged $2,190 per head for 45 animals. Delaney's 5.000 acre ranch southwest of Ada is valued at more than $200,000. Since he became interested in the purebred Hereford line in 1939, Delaney has sold more than $350,000 worth of cattle. (Ny Receives KIO Men Waler Meiers Will Bo Installed to Repine* Older Faulty Ones BANGKOK. Siam, Nov. 8.—(ZP) —Jame. A.

The former Democratic Nation a1 chairman and postmaster general, commenting on the election results ups n his arrival at Bangkok airfield last night from Calcutta. predicted that the GOP would encounter problems which w°u;d give the party trouble in the 194P presidential election.

The meters are badly r eded in certain sections of the city where the old meters are becoming faulty, and the new meters will be installed wherever the are needed. T' v are scheduled to be installed within a period of 180 days from the day their were received. The new meters were purchased for $13.40 each, considerably lower than the estimated cost and at a cost lower than any since before the war. U. S.

FAY ' ASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—(ZP)_ United States warships, making their third excursion into the politically troubled waters of the Eastern Mediterranean, will visit bo*h Turkish and Greek ports in the next few weeks. -he navy announced today that arrangements have been complete by the state department for L. S. Naval forces now in the Mediterranean, or en route there. to make visits to various ports incident to training exercises during the latter part of November and early December." It was learned that both Secretary of State Byrnes and Under Secretary Dean Acheson had okayed the cruise. Decision Not Explained State department officials, however, could shed no light on why they gave the warships the green make calls virtually in the back yard of the Soviet Union only a few days after the department had asked the army to postpone a projected round-the-world flight by a fleet of B-29 Superfort bombers. Although it never has been officially acknowledged that the state department caused postponement of the B-29 Venture, of-fie...Is close to Byrnes said he was opposed to the flight at this time, partially because he was afraid it might be interpreted by Russ'a. and other nations as "sword rattling." Route Outlined Today s navy announcement said the 27,OOO-ton aircraft carrier Randolph, the light cruiser Fargo and the destroyer Perry will put in at the Turkish# ports of Izmir and Marinaras. Izmir. ai the eastern end of the Mediterranean, was formerly named Smyrna. F om the Turkish harbors the ships will go to Beirut, Lebanon, and then turn northwestward to visit Piraeus, Greece.

Ireland and Trans-Jordan, it was anticipated that the United States then would return to its policy of voting against Albania and outer Mongolia individually. Both those countries failed to muster the necessary seven of the eleven council votes in the initial discussions. On the Spanish question the United States delegation merely decided to adhere to its stand for condemnation of the Madrid government but in opposition to any action such as a worldwide break in relations. Franco Issue Up Again Members of the United States delegation meanwhile were reported still working on a proposal concerning the much-debated question of the veto, but no concrete plan was anticipated before next week. Poland originally asked for* severance if diplomatic relations with the Franco government and White Russia followed tnt* yesterday with a demand that the membership institute economic sanctions against Madrid, including the suspension of communications by rail, sea, air. post and telegraph.

Lupe Fiasco Announces New Release 'Peace Of Paper/Cup Of Jayzus'
It's not quite clear what it is yet, but Lupe Fiasco announced a new release, 'Peace of Paper/Cup of Jayzus,' that's apparently set to drop on Sept. 13.
According to XXL, Fiasco tweeted about the interestingly named project late last night. His account is protected (aka private), so it's difficult to know exactly what 'POP/COJ' is right now.
All we know is that the Chicago rapper also shared a series of lyric sheets that, at the very least, indicate that this could be a new song. Additionally, it's impossible to not see some kind of correlation between 'Jayzus' and two of Fiasco's previous collaborators, Jay Z and Kanye West (or 'Yeezus').
Below, you can read the digital lyric sheets. We'll be sure to keep you updated on 'POP/COJ' should any more information be made available. Who knows, maybe Fiasco will decide to make his Twitter public again. His previous album, 'Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1,' dropped September 2012.

Loren BMember
@ljamesbLocale: London UK, Greenville USA
Hey everyone,
Knowing of my love for travel and the world in general, my girlfriend bought me this jacket about 5 years ago and since then it has become famous amongst my friends and has started more conversations than I can count. It is basically a tyvek jacket with a world map printed on it. I thought I would share it with everyone as it is the most ridiculous piece of clothing I have ever owned, which just happens to be a really useful piece of ultralight gear. Don't you just love it when you weigh something you have owned for years and discover it's ultralight without even trying?
Hooded version – http://www.lesliejordan.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=35&product_id=49
Hoodless version with collar – http://www.lesliejordan.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=35&product_id=51
Hoodless collarless version (this is the one I own) – http://www.lesliejordan.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=35&product_id=50
Poncho version – http://www.lesliejordan.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=35&product_id=80
It is pretty good in the rain, highly windproof, breathes pretty well. I would class it as a windshirt rather than a rain shell. Not the most durable piece of clothing ever I guess, but it has lasted me 5 years of use hiking and drunkenly dancing at parties so it has lasted admirably really.
I have the hoodless, collarless version in small and it weighs 4 7/8 oz and packs up to the size of a soda can. I am 140 pounds, 5'10" with a 38" chest and it fits me fine with a baselayer and lightweight fleece underneath. if I were to buy another one though I would definitely go for the hooded version in a medium to allow for greater flexibility with layering and greater versatility. Mine has two external waist height zipless pockets and two zipless internal pockets. Some measurements of mine are:
armpit to armpit 20"
shoulder to sleeve 24"
here is the jacket next to a patagonia down sweater in small for reference
My land of birth, the UK in the armpit of the world. he he
May not be to everyone's liking, and its appearance may very well make some people feel nauseous, but I'm sure there are a few of you who would love one of these. Who ever said ultralight gear has to be boring? he he.Mar 15, 2013 at 2:05 pm #1966035

I remember when those "world map versions" were going around, and there were a fair number of them on people in San Diego. Tyvek had a trendy-material love affair with designers for a bit there.
Now, printing up Tom Harrison maps on these things… that could be downright cool.Mar 15, 2013 at 2:44 pm #1966048

A trail map jacket would be awesome if you hike the same trails more than once. Makes it doubly important that you don't lose your map I guess. Would be great to have one made if you were doing something like the Appalachian trail or some other long trip – you could mark your progress as you go.
The ultimate addition to the jacket, a zip puller compass:
I think these jackets are a relatively well kept secret as I've never seen or heard about anyone else who also owns one. Maybe I should have put a disclaimer on the thread title like *warning: Hipsters stay away*. Don't tell too many people and it will be our little secret ;).
And Max, I know the feeling. I recently gave into reason and bought a black raincoat (it has a silver stripe on it though which I was happy with). Was tough not to go for red, but stealthy camping and bright colours generally don't mix well.Mar 15, 2013 at 2:52 pm #1966051

They have handed out Tyvek jackets like this for the Seattle-to-Portland "STP" bike race and I run across one now and then. They are super light and very water and wind resistant. They can be expensive to buy one-off and are usually marketed by promotional supply firms. They are at least as durable as a Driducks. A hoody would be the thing. Not as breathable as a good windshirt, IMHO. I am surprised they haven't been more popular in UL circles.

"I think these jackets are a relatively well kept secret as I've never seen or heard about anyone else who also owns one."
I don't know about it being much of a secret, as for years now a basic google image search for "Tyvek Jacket" prominently displayed that global map jacket. There was also some interest in them on BPL a while back:
I think they just fell out of fashion, so you now really have to worry about hipsters reviving them.
What I have wanted for years is a way to get Tyvek ground sheets with different Harrison maps printed on them.Mar 15, 2013 at 3:54 pm #1966071

Now that is one of the funniest posts I have seen in quite a while.
BTW, you misspelled odor. When are you Brits and Aussies going to learn to spell and get rid of all those extraneous "u" letters. It is not lightweight, it makes books and magazines heavier with all that extra ink :)Mar 16, 2013 at 1:27 am #1966192

I was rummaging around and found mine. It is from the STP '07 race (I didn't get it there) 4.4oz in XL size and note that it has a full mesh vent from cuff to waist (2"-3" wide) and the cuffs and collar are Tyvek and not knit. It even has hand pockets.
Leslie Jordan in Portland markets these things and they are $49.95, at least that is listed on the web page.
I did find an old thread with a hoody:

Series: Kimi ni Todoke
Occupation: students
Bible Twin: believers and God
Kimi ni Todoke is a wonderful series for a number of reasons, but perhaps most of all for its two leads: the socially inept Kuronuma and the popular and kind Kazehaya. Shojo manga and series, like any other, often fall victim to convention, but it's through these characters that such conventions break. Kuronuma is a painfully awkward lead, but an always sincere one – her look and personality defy expectations. Meanwhile, Kazehaya flaws, beneath his shining exterior, feel very real.
As the series progresses, (SPOILERS ahead), the two develop a romance. Strangely enough, their road there and the romance itself reminds me of something very spiritual. It's reminiscent of the "romance" between God and his followers.
Spiritual Connection
Setting aside the reality of Kazehaya, I'll focus on how Kuronuma feels about both him and herself. Though perhaps not pitiable, Kuronuma sees herself as imperfect. She has the humility to understand that. On the other hand, she sees Kazehaya as being perfect – he has the looks, the popularity, the athleticism, the smile, and most importantly, the kindness. And while she would like to get to know him better, Kuronuma feels clearly out of his league.
An individual must feel a similar sense if he or she is to develop a relationship with God. A holy God is clearly out of our leagues. Prayer demonstrates this relationship; we are properly going to God with our humble selves, placing Him in His rightful place and ourselves in a lower position.
A further analogy goes like this: there is a gap between sinful man and a holy God. We are far apart; what can connect us?
The answer is, of course, grace. Through Jesus' atoning blood, God sees Him in us. When Christ comes to dwell in us, the Bible states that we are given new hearts. Likewise, Kazehaya sees Kuronuma's heart; he sees the goodness within.
Thus, the two fit firmly into their roles as believer and God. But what of the entire romance analogy? It's a bit odd to express the relationship between God and believer as romantic, but the Bible certainly does just that. Though the entire book is likely about King Solomon and one of his lovers, in light of the NT, portions of Song of Songs can be read as the relationship between God and his people:
Let him lead me to the banquet hall,
and let his banner over me be love.
– Song of Songs 2:4
The New Testament is less subtle in the analogy, as the church (God's people) is referred to as the bride of Christ in the book of Revelation. Paul takes the analogy further by expressing how husbands should sacrifice for their wives as Jesus "gave Himself up for her," referring to the church (Ephesians 5:25). Jesus' parables, too, demonstrate a God who is desperate like a loving husband.
Notice how this romantic emphasis switches some. While the bride/church/Kuronuma wants to engage in a relationship, God/Kazehaya do as well. In fact, God and Kazehaya both are painted as desperate, jealous, and joyful as they seek their loves. And that's appropriate to meditate on – as much as Kuronuma loves Kazehaya, he may feel even more strongly; and about God's stronger love for us, there is no doubt.

I used to be a huge fan of the manga, but I haven't seen the anime yet. Is the anime worth watching.
Kimi ni Todoke was the first romance anime I watched, and I enjoyed watching it. I really liked the contrast between the personalities of Kuronuma and Kazehaya. It's exactly as you said: Kazehaya is the perfect character, while Kuronuma is the exact opposite. Kazehaya is a popular guy in school with many friends, while Kuronoma is the introverted type. It is especially interesting how Kazehaya was the first one to reach out to Kuronuma. I don't know what others think, but my interpretation of the anime is that Kazehaya started to like Kuronoma first. Kuronuma's feeling at first was only respect and admiration towards Kazehaya, but I think Kazehaya liked Kuronuma from the start. Relating that to the analogy of the relationship between God and man, God reached out to us first. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

relocating dryer vent
201 Attachment(s)
We have a Tiny laundry room in our house and they decided it was best to put the vent for the dryer in the floor a couple inches from the wall. Of course this greatly reduces our options for a new washer/dryer since the tiny ones we have are pretty much at the rooms space limits. Since the laundry room is by an outside wall, could we relocate the vent so that it vents out the wall instead of down and under the house? If we could do this our options would be much better when the time comes to get new ones which will probably be in the near future considering how old ours are now. The outside wall is beside the dryer so the hose would make the on 90 degree turn and probably be up higher on the wall to keep that space open.
What do you think?
By running that line under the house you just made a guaranteed way to have fungus, mold, and supplyed everything that wood eating insects need to live, a way for any insulation that may be under there to get so heavy it falls down.
Any dryer needs the shortest distance and least amount of elbows.
Yes going through the wall would be far better.
201 Attachment(s)
I figured it probably wasn't good to have it venting under the house but thats how it was when the house was built about 11 or 12 years ago. We bought the house 1 1/2 years ago and I have hated how they did that since day one. The dryer pretty much touches the outside wall so I would need to put the new vent up above the dryer. I am sure that that would kill some of the air flow but would it kill enough to make it not a good idea?
I just replaced a flex duct with one of these:
Bought it at the big orange box. Works great!
Is that close to what you have in mind?
201 Attachment(s)
What exactly is that? Does it just run straight up from the dryer the exit out the top hole? Kind of hard to see what it is on my phone.
Yup. It looks like a periscope. adjustable length. connects to the dryer at the bottom and the wall outlet at the top.

Gloria Estefan is pleased with her status as one of pop music's less visible yet truly committed AIDS activists. While many of her contemporaries tirelessly court the media, the woman whose radio and recording reign began in 1985 with the libidinous "Conga" prefers to quietly do her duty and let others compete for a chance to take a center-stage, spotlighted bow.
"Using your position as a public figure to focus public attention on life-and-death issues like AIDS is an obligation of anyone who cares about the world we live in," she says. "But you have to make sure that you are using your success to help a cause and not the other way around." Estefan's normally easygoing demeanor tightens as she carefully chooses her words: "It's tragic, but I have seen the latter a few times, and it disturbs me. I cannot comprehend doing anything that isn't straight from the heart."
For three years, Estefan has turned her words into action by serving as co-chair (along with her husband and producer, Emilio Estefan) of the Community Alliance Against AIDS (CAAA) in Miami. Largely devoted to raising awareness of AIDS-related issues among Latino youth, Estefan's involvement with CAAA is rooted in her desire to give something back to the people who have long supported her. "There is nothing more important than going out on the street and teaching people who simply do not have the right information on this issue," she says. Hence CAAA's frequent visits to schools and youth centers to present seminars on safer sex, along with fundraising to pay for PWAs' health care.
In addition to her work at CAAA, Estefan's heightened AIDS awareness has been triggered by a string of personal milestones, most notably her 15-year-old son Nayib's hormonal nose-dive into adolescence and the birth of her second child, Emily, almost two years ago.
"When you see how precious and fragile life is, the natural inclination is to do everything in your power to protect it, especially if you're a parent," she says. "I look at Nayib and I see endless possibilities for joy and accomplishment. But I also see danger, and I'm committed to doing everything in my power to prevent him from falling into that danger."
To that end, the Estefans' dinner-table discussions now cover topics like condoms, homosexuality and other sex-related matters. "Kids feel invincible, but you've got to keep them grounded in reality," says Estefan, herself clearly a realist. "Just because there is HIV and AIDS doesn't mean that your sex drive is going to change. I don't necessarily want to think about my son having sex at a young age, but I don't pretend that this hasn't become a very real issue in his life."
"It wasn't the easiest conversation we've ever had," Estefan says with a nervous laugh, blushing at the memory of introducing Nayib to the need to use condoms. "I don't know which of us was more jittery, but we lived through it. How could Emilio and I work with an organization that is strongly focused on educating young people on safer sex without doing it at home first?"
Not surprisingly, matters of home and hearth extend to Estefan's work. Her newest CD, Destiny, her first recording of original English-language songs in six years, is her most personal work to date. Never has Estefan so completely combined the authentic flavors of the Afro-Cuban and Afro-Antillian music she was raised on with the taut pop hooks of her earlier hits.
Estefan is especially fond of "Along Came You," which features her daughter's debut as a vocalist. "There's a section of the song that has a lullaby that I often sing to Emily, and she loves to sing along," she explains. "We were in the studio working on that song, and I was holding Emily in my arms with all of these wonderful, warm candles lighting the room. When we got to the lullaby, she started cooing and singing along. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard. It just had to be on the record."
Seemingly lost in the memory, Estefan closes her eyes and takes another deep breath. After a long pause, she returns to one of the first questions at hand. "I listen to 'Along Came You' and I hear nothing but the future. And then I look around and I have mental images of people who will not be around to see Emily as a woman, and I grow sad," she says. "These are the reasons why I lend my time and energy to an organization like Community Alliance Against AIDS without first alerting the media. I'm not there as Gloria Estefan, a well-known performer-artist. I'm there as Gloria, a woman who doesn't want to lose her family or any more friends."

Beau Robinson was meant to go hunting with his father during the Super 15 off-season.
Instead, the flanker is one of a handful of Australians who have invaded the ITM Cup, the 27-year-old landing at Bay of Plenty.
Robinson has been plagued by a stress fracture in his leg for the past year and made only seven appearances for the Reds this season.
Playing in New Zealand's provincial competition - something Australian rugby would love to replicate - has offered Robinson the chance to work his way back to full fitness.
"I was just looking forward to playing some good quality rugby," Robinson said.
Suiting up in the blue-and-gold hoops of Bay of Plenty was made possible when former Steamers midfielder and Australian international, Steve Kefu - who Robinson knows through their Brisbane club Souths - got in touch with the province.
"I was looking to actually go over to Thailand to do a bit of coaching for a new business that I'm looking to start," Robinson said of his off-season plans.
"And then I was also going to go ... hunting with the old man."
That father-son bonding will have to wait. Robinson, a one-test Wallaby in 2011, has been busy in an impressive Bay of Plenty loose forward trio this season, while Steamers wing Kimami Sitauti is another Australian import who played for the Rebels this year.
Coming to New Zealand to play in the ITM Cup is proving an attractive option for Australians because if you don't make the national squad there's only the back end of the club season to take part in after the Super 15 has wrapped up - or take a break before a mammoth pre-season with your franchise.
"Obviously for the fringe blokes and the younger blokes who are trying to establish themselves it's pretty hard when you don't get much of an opportunity in Super rugby, then you have to go back and play at club level and see how you are actually performing," Robinson said. "It's a happy medium to come over here in the ITM [Cup] and really up your skill set."
Rebels halfback Nic Stirzaker is one of those fringe players who has pounced on an opportunity.
After the Manawatu Turbos lost rookie No9 Jamie Booth to injury before the competition started, they were in need of something extra at the base of the scrum. The 22-year-old Stirzaker, who has logged 15 Super rugby appearances in two years in Melbourne, arrived in Palmerston North and hasn't disappointed.
His electric pace and useful support play have seen him bag three tries in the past two games.
Waikato have big Rebels prop Paul Alo-Emile and Force halfback Michael Snowden on the books.
"All the boys have got around them and made them feel welcome and they're fitting in to the Kiwi way of life," Waikato coach Johnny Walters said.
Walters said he'd never pick an Australian over a local up-and-comer but injuries and defections forced his hand.
South African-born halfback Mark Swanepoel, who made two appearances for the Brumbies this year, plays for Tasman, while Northland have former Australian under-20 lock Tom Murday in their ranks.
Coming across the ditch isn't a new phenomenon though. Waratahs wing Peter Betham was a human highlight reel for Tasman last year, while Manawatu also landed Sydney University five-eighths Dan Kelly a couple of seasons ago. Former NRL winger Luke Rooney dropped in for a short stint with Hawkes Bay in 2010.

Bay rents have dipped following a lull in demand for rental accommodation, new figures reveal.
But a local property manager says tenants are now back in the market looking for new homes.
New Trade Me property figures show Bay rental listings for the last quarter increased 6 per cent year-on-year, while demand edged 2 per cent higher.
The average rents have fallen by 1 per cent.
However, Be Home Realty property manager Josh Fitzgibbon said he had been noticing the reverse.
"We've had massive amounts of demand for top-quality apartments at the Mount. We have had a huge increase in families looking for a change.
"We have probably annihilated our listings by 40 per cent in the last two weeks."
Mr Fitzgibbon said demand had been across the board, from families to beneficiaries.
"We have a lowered amount of listings in the Papamoa region, definitely.
"If we get a four-bedroom for say $450 in Cambridge Heights, Bethlehem, Pyes Pa, smack, it's gone like that."
The latest Trade Me Property figures show supply is outstripping demand for rentals in almost all regions, bringing rents to a standstill.
The quarterly figures - covering October to December last year - show the number of available listings rose 8 per cent year-on-year, led by double-digit growth in Manukau, North Shore, Wellington, and Hamilton.
The figures were a turnaround from the previous year, Trade Me head of property Brendon Skipper said.
Real Estate Institute of New Zealand chief executive Helen O'SullivanThe change could be the result of renters moving into home ownership amid record low interest rates and people staying put in their rentals longer, he said.
Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) chief executive Helen O'Sullivan agreed and said the figures also reflected a time of year when many students left their flats and people were winding down, so less likely to move.
Christchurch, however, was an exception and remained at odds with the rest of the country, Mr Skipper said.
"The long-term impact of the earthquake on rental stock continues to bite, with listings down 18 per cent on a year ago.
"Good properties remain in hot demand with the average level of inquiry up 22 per cent compared to last year, and asking rents are up a massive 26 per cent."
Many landlords outside Christchurch were struggling in over-supplied rental markets, and may need to drop asking rents to lure tenants, he said.
The exception was for student-friendly properties in university towns, including Dunedin and Palmerston North, where the annual flat-hunting season was under way.
In spite of the figures, there was always demand for good-quality rentals in desirable suburbs, both Mr Skipper and Ms O'Sullivan said.
New sales figures from REINZ showed the national median house price reached a new record of $389,000 in December - up almost 10 per cent year-on-year.
Strong demand also drove the number of sales to the highest level since 2007 - up 21 per cent on December 2011.
"The key drivers in 2012 were the Auckland and Canterbury/Westland regions, which together make up over half the real estate activity in New Zealand," Ms O'Sullivan said.
"Supply constraints resulted in significant price gains that have not been achieved elsewhere."
A key development in 2012 was the growth of sales by auction, which grew by more than two-thirds compared to 2011.
By the numbers
$349,000 - Tauranga median sale price for December, 102 properties sold
$343,000 - Tauranga median sale price for November, 143 properties sold
$315,500 - Tauranga median sale price for December 2011, 108 properties sold
New national median house price record of $389,000, up 9.6 per cent on December 2011
74,000 houses sold during 2012, a 21 per cent increase on 2011 and the highest annual total since 2007
$33.95 billion - total value of residential sales for the 12 months ended December 2012 (excluding sections)

Twins in brain study
About 300 pairs of twins who are 65 or older will take part in one of Australia's largest studies of brain ageing, to be carried out by University of NSW researchers.
"Our study will measure many environmental influences but, in particular, lifetime physical and mental activity, physical and psychological trauma, loss of [a] parent early in life, later losses and life events, early-life socioeconomic environment, alcohol and drug use, occupational exposure and nutrition," says Professor Perminder Sachdev, from the university's school of psychiatry. "It will also determine how biological factors such as hypertension and antioxidant levels interact with genes to influence brain ageing."
There will be three clinical assessments over four years. More pairs of twins are needed to take part. Twins from NSW, Victoria or Queensland should phone Amanda Rose on 9382 3727.

St. Rose Of Lima Celebrates 125th Anniversary
On Sunday, October 16 at the 5 p.m. Mass, the Knights of Columbus helped to bring yet another important celebration to the 125th Anniversary of St. Rose of Lima. They arranged to have a Latin Mass said, as Latin was the Traditional Mass years ago. They also had "Latin English Booklet Missals" for praying the Traditional Mass, which were distributed to the Congregation as they arrived for Mass.
The Knights of Columbus, Rockaway Council including the Commander, Charles Gaughan; Navigator, Larry Kelly; Guardsmen, Michael Agostini and Ruben Martinez were there in their regalia. This actually was very rewarding to the parishioners who remember when Mass was only in Latin; as well as an enlightening experience for the younger congregation.
Msgr. Vincent A. Keane was assisted in this Mass by Pastor Rev. Msgr. James Spengler; Father James Divine, Past Pastor; Altar Servers were Knights from the Council, Patrick Nee and William Mills. Grace Matubis, organist, led the congregation in hymns. She sang "Ave Maria" in Latin. After Mass coffee and cake were served at St. Rose of Lima's School.
As the year is winding down, St. Rose is having its Annual Dinner Dance at Russo's on the Bay on Thursday, October 27, 6:30 p.m. The honorees are, of course, the priests who served this congregation throughout the years. The finale will be celebrated on Sunday, October 30 at the 10:30 Mass. This Mass will be the Closing Mass for the 125th Anniversary. All are invited to attend this Celebration.

I know I will have few supporters in the TV industry, because for many of them it means a free, lavish night out.
And I suppose it is foolhardy to suggest that a show that attracts more than 2 million viewers should be axed.
But in all seriousness, I reckon it is time for the powers that be to consider whether the Logie awards should continue, at least in their present format.
Sunday night's show on Channel Nine was tragic. It was the worst Logies I can remember. I'm not talking only about the awards themselves - like the Oscars, or the Emmys or even the Brownlow, we often think they got it wrong.
Nor am I pointing the finger at the three-man hosting team of Eddie McGuire, Rove McManus and Andrew O'Keefe.
The Logies are supposed to be TV's night of nights, a big-budget entertainment spectacular with performances that knock your socks off, comedy that leaves your ribs aching and a constellation of stars being acknowledged for something more than getting their pictures on the front pages of magazines.
And making short, gracious acceptance speeches that make sense.
For more than four hours on Sunday we were required to endure a series of lame and corny skits (many of which featured the products of the night's chief sponsor), frequent plugs for Nine's new shows, a far-from-glittering array of musical numbers, and awards being presented to a few worthy recipients but mostly nobodies, some of whom were embarrassingly inarticulate.
It started with the red carpet arrivals, which out-rate the Logies themselves. But the red carpet was white this year, for reasons that were never fully explained.
It didn't seem to matter.
The usual procession of women dressed to thrill were nabbed by the king and queen of gush TV, Richard Wilkins and Catriona Rowntree, as they wandered in and told us how excited they were to be there - while the cameras gave each of them a top-to-toe once-over searching for exposed flesh.
For some reason, we were told several times that 5000 glasses of champagne awaited the invitees upstairs in the Crown ballroom, and by 11.45pm I would wager all of them had been consumed.
Why else did the assembled multitude applaud loudly when Rove McManus told us that getting his third Gold Logie in a row was "f ---ing awesome"?
In between, we had Magda Szubanski and Ian Thorpe (with a hairstyle that resembled a dead possum laying spread-eagled across his head) in a comedy routine that was cringe-worthy; a low-rating American teen soapie, The OC, confirming that most of the awards are ruled by the teenage vote by winning the gong for most popular imported show ahead of CSI, ER, Friends and The Bill; a quick shot of TV's royal couple - our Bec and our Lleyton - every 30 seconds (or so it seemed); and, at the very end of the show, just before midnight, the show's headline act, Michael Buble, who surely should have appeared earlier and perhaps presented an award.
Then there's that Gold Logie. It is said that Rove McManus is the latest in a line of celebrity hosts that started with Graham Kennedy and has included the likes of Don Lane and Daryl Somers, and I would not argue with that. Whether he has deserved to win the top popularity award in Australian TV for three consecutive years is another matter.
There have been suggestions this week that Ten's swag of Logies on Sunday, including the three won by McManus and his show, might have been attributable to the fact that the network has trained its predominantly young viewers to vote by text message via shows such as Australian Idol and Big Brother.
This theory suggests that more popular shows and personalities on other networks were disadvantaged because they have older viewers less comfortable with SMS.
The theory may be right. But maybe not. Ten's shows won half of the awards reliant on public voting, whether by SMS or mail.
But if the voting was affected that much by young fans and their phones, how did Blue Heelers veteran John Wood manage to score the Silver Logie for Most Popular Actor ahead of four others with younger profiles?
Anyway, let's not forget that in the section judged by members of the TV industry, who do not vote by SMS, Ten picked up three Logies.
Channels Nine and Seven won only one each.
The Logies are a mess. The voting system is absurd and confused. The awards show is a dud. And next year, I don't think I'll bother watching.

January is the season of the sour oranges or Seville oranges so it is the right time to make your orange marmelades. I found this recipe on the latest Thermomix newsletter for the UK and Irish customers and even though there are a lot of steps and waiting times, it is quite easy to follow and will yield excellent results. I had never made proper orange marmelade before but this promises to become a staple in our family!
Source: UK & Ireland Thermomix newsletter
750g water
350-370g Seville oranges or any bitter/sour oranges (I used 420g or 4 small oranges)
1 lemon (I omitted)
900g granulated sugar (I used jam sugar for a solid set)
- Pour the water in the TM bowl and close the lid. Place the oranges and lemon in the Varoma dish and place on top of the lid (without the measuring cup). Steam for 40min/Varoma/speed 1 or longer until they start to look as if they are collapsing. Leave the steaming water in the bowl.
- Remove the Varoma and set it on the upturned Varoma lid to catch the drips. Leave uncovered for about 40 minutes to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out the flesh, juice & pips with a tablespoon and add to the reserved steaming water. Set aside the skins to dry out a little.
- Cook the steaming water + orange/lemon pulp for 15 min/Varoma/speed 1, replacing the measuring cup with the internal basket to reduce.
- Blend everything 2min/speed 10 until smooth (this is not a classic way to make a marmelade but will give a really good set because you are keeping the seeds and tastes equally as delicious as the traditional method). Pour out and set aside, then wash and dry the TM bowl.
- When the bowl is cool, put the orange skins in and Turbo pulse very briefly 3 times to chop. Repeat with one or more brief pulses if you wish to have a finer cut or cut the skins by hand if you want a thick cut. Tip out the peel and reserve.
- Weigh in the reserved thick pulpy liquid from step 4, topping up with water to 750g. Add the sugar and reserved chopped peel.
- Cook 20 min/100C/speed 1, measuring cup OFF and internal basket on the lid. If the mixture boils up onto the lid, increase to speed 2 and decrease the temperature to 90C until the bubbles recedes, then bring back to 100C.
- Test for set by standing the TM bowl on the countertop; gently tip towards the spout (without pouring out the marmelade) and stand the bowl upright again – if the mixture is sticky on the side of the TM bowl and bits of rind are sticking as well, you are at setting point. If not yet done, cook 3 min/Varoma/speed 1, with internal basket instead of the measuring cup and alternating the temperatures as per step 7. Repeat setting point test and add further cooking if necessary. Marmelade may take longer to reach setting point on a wet rainy day.
- To ensure the rind doesn't float to the top of the jar, allow the marmelade to cool for 10 minutes before potting in warm sterilised jars (to sterilise your jars, bake them 10 minutes at 150C). Cover immediately, turn upside-down (this will seal the air to remove any remaining bacteria) for 10 minutes then turn back upright and leave to cool completely.

Want to do something with the headlights...
Hey guys, been a while since I've been around these parts. Kinda fell out of modding the Focus, but I've finally gotten the itch to do something. I'd like to change up the headlights. I remember wanting these couple years ago- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Focus-CCFL-A...d3d3d2&vxp=mtr , but if I recall correctly, they are a pain in the ass to wire, aren't the best quality, and you lose your high beams (correct me if I'm wrong). To be honest, I'm kinda skeptical to be fudging with the headlights that much in the first place. I know too many people who swapped theirs out for projectors and the damn things end up giving them a lot of trouble compared to had they just left them stock. So another idea was maybe to just change out the bulbs for something else. I still have the original bulbs that came in it when I drove it off the lot brand new. Are there a cool (and good) type of bulbs I could replace them with? Just the change things up somewhat. I'm working within a budget, mind you. I could save up a bit and get the projectors if you guys think it's a good idea. I know my FF crew won't steer me wrong. Again, sorry for coming off so noobish. I need to stick around this time!
Nvm about losing high beams, looking at some other threads, I have been reminded that that only happens when you do an HID kit? Which I remember now, because I messed with an HID kit from eBay like 5 years ago. Horrible experience... (I got the crappy ones; I'm sure it'd have been different had I gotten a good kit with some projectors installed)
So if I'm not mistaken, the eBay projectors would still take regular bulbs, unless I bought an additional HID kit (don't think I will be). Should I try and get the black projectors? I think they look cool, but if they're "meh" quality, then I don't want to mess with them at all. I'd rather just swap out the bulbs in my current stock housings for something nicer (maybe some cool blue ones? I dunno). That would also be friendlier on my wallet.
I guess what I'm asking is should I just keep it stock but put in "HID look" halogen bulbs?
Found these:
I would suggest keeping them stock and getting Nighthawk Platinum headlights. I personally dont like super blue lights, but these just have a slight tinge of blue to them when they are on and from a certain angle.
I have the Philips Crystal Vision Ultras in my Focus and Excursion, and I will NEVER have another headlight bulb besides them!!! Here is a pic (crappy cell) of The Crystal Visions with Nokya Hyper yellow fogs:
Those look amazing. I think I'm sold. Ordering with my next paycheck along with some new cheap seat covers!
I have nighthawk platiums in mine and i love them, its a good clear lighting you wont see with the generic bulb types, and they have a pretty far sight line if your lenses arent glazed over (which they shouldnt be)
i gave 35 or 40 bucks for the set
Well, I finally got around to ordering the headlights... Got the Philips CrystalVision Ultras. Why did it take me so long, you ask? Well, my car battery was giving me trouble this morning, and while inspecting it after the car finally started up, I noticed one of my headlights was out! I guess I can't complain too much since I've had the car since brand new in Nov 2007 and this will be the first time replacing the battery and the headlights.

Why is my a/c weak every time I turn it on for the season?
When I turned on my central air conditioning last year, it wasn't able to cool the house down, and it seemed very weak. I had to call the HVAC guy and was told that it was due to the fact that it did not have enough freon.
Just a few days ago, I went to turn it on for the first time this year, and the same thing seems to be happening.
I guess I have to call the HVAC guy again.
Why do I seem to be losing freon?
Would this be a faulty a/c?
You have a leak in the system that should be checked out and repaired. It may involve just soldering a small leak or it could be a component may need replacing such as a corroded and leaking coil.
It may not be too bad now, but leaks only get worse and the cost of freon is going up rapidly- I suggest asking that the HVAC tech find and repair the leak.
Don't run the system if it is low- you will damage the compressor.
Mr. tech
Thank you so much for the information about my air conditioner.
I have contacted the tech today.
Should be coming this week.
Thanks for the tip of not running it because there were 2 hot days last week, and I did run it, (not the whole day but 4-5 hours each day).
Hope I did not screw it up.
I use dye and a uv light to diagnose small leak since they are very hard to find
I"d consider getting a new HVAC guy. He should have diagnosed the problem the first time without you having to pay him to come out again to fix the problem. First time, he probably just recharged it without fixing the problem knowing you'll have to call him again and pay for more freon and labor again.
I could spend hours looking for a leak that may be so small it can`t be found.. you wanna pay for the labor on that with no end result?
I usually tell people I have no idea how large or small the leak is ...lets refill and take it from there, I also give them the option of putting in the dye at that time.
Some leaks may only happen when connections contract during the winter.
When he came last year I don't remember him saying that it was a leak, so he refilled it. Only charged me for the service call and the freon was on him. (We know him well, and I would hate to get rid of him unless.........he's starting to take me for a ride.)
But this time, I am armed with great information from all you guys, so I am going to see what he has to say.
He's contacting me, mid week.
Thanks mrtech. I hope he will find the leak too.
Also, hoping it won't be anything.
The HVAC guy came out today.
He did the "soap" test on my a/c system and he could not find any leak.
He topped it up with freon.
He did notice that there was a little oil somewhere at the bottom of the compressor, that he said should not have been there.
He suggested that he will put on a "repair kit" so that will not make it leak.
My compressor is still under warranty. I have only had it for 3 years.
I said to him that I want the leak found, and he said that if he has to take the compressor apart, it would end up costing too much.
Any thought on this?
Soap nope.
If he has a repair kit I needa gross,
and you cant take a compresser apart the shell is welded together. You really need to use dye (ink it) this is not a gas pipe where soap is OK. The system will have to also have to be reclaimed, blown out (nitrogen),vacced down, and refilled. If, and this is highly unlikely, the comp. is leaking then play the warranty card, also any factory leaks should be covered ie; in the unit itself before the valves. Besides the environmental damage small amounts of air are introduced into the system at each top off, not good! An informed consumer allways trumps an incompetent tech. move on to the next guy(girl) if they're not up to snuff. The top off should will give u some time to look around if need be.Peace out, Mikemy6
And yes, I definitely agree an informed consumer always trumps an incompetent tech.
Could you explain what you mean by the system has to be reclaimed, blown out (nitrogen) vacced down, and refilled?
Thanks again.
BTW-when I was questioning him this morning, he was kind of looking at me, as if to say, "where did you get all this from". :wink:

MIAMI - Yuri Izurieta, 41, Anneri Izurieta, 46, and Naver Trading Corp., were charged on Friday with conspiracy to smuggle goods into the United States, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
According to the allegations in the indictment, Anneri was the president and director of Naver Trading, Corp., which is a licensed importer engaged in the importation and sale of dairy products. Yuri is the husband of Anneri.
Over several years, the Izurietas and Naver Trading, Corp. repeatedly imported shipments of dairy products into the United States. These dairy products were released from the port into the custody of the Izurietas and Naver Trading, Corp., but the defendants were not authorized to sell and distribute the dairy products pending successful completion of an examination by the FDA.
The indictment alleges that the defendants knew that the FDA was concerned that Naver Trading, Corp.'s dairy products were potentially contaminated with harmful bacteria. The indictment also alleges that, in some instances, the defendants actually knew that the dairy products were in fact contaminated. Nonetheless, the defendants allegedly failed to return the merchandise for destruction as required and, on some occasions, even sold and distributed their dairy products.
If convicted, the defendants face a maximum of five years in prison for the count of conspiracy and a maximum of 20 years in prison for each count of smuggling.

Police say three Rockland businesses were busted for selling alcohol to underage customers.
Police sent people under the age of 21 into 15 area businesses on Monday night as part of a crack down on illegal alcohol sales.
Deputy Police Chief Wally Tower says the underage customers bought liquor at Wal-Mart, China Coast Restaurant and Mr. Mike's Convenience Store.
All three businesses were issued summonses.
Tower says they now face fines of $50 to $1,500.
Their liquor licenses are also subject to a review by the city.
Tower says this is the first time police have conducted an operation like this, thanks to a government grant to pay officers overtime to monitor liquor sales at businesses.

Learn Agile from Jesse Fewell, the founder of PMI's Agile Community of Practice
Course Details
Many organizations are adopting Agile approaches to improve their software development capability, following the lead of the path-finding Internet-era companies who have shown the way to rapid innovation and dominance in their market spaces. This 2-day course provides a great foundation for anyone adopting Scrum, the most popular Agile framework. Scrum is a deceptively simple framework and you will quickly learn about its roles, artefacts and process. However, its adaptive nature and impact on traditional organizational models and ways of working requires a fundamental grasp of the underlying principles for a truly successful implementation. We put theory into practice in a number of exercises and simulations which are both enjoyable and instructive.
Audience Despite its name, this course is not just for ScrumMasters but is an effective primer for anyone who will be closely involved with teams adopting Scrum, including Project & Program Managers, Product Owners, IT managers, and Senior Developers.
Certification After taking this course, students are eligible to take a 35-question online exam. Until March 31st, all students will be given a passing grade on the Certified ScrumMaster exam as the Scrum Alliance verifies appropriate exam questions and course content. Exam fees are included with course registration.
Jesse Fewell is a writer, speaker, and trainer in the area of business agility and innovation. In addition to speaking for Agile, Scrum, and PMI conferences, he has collected a broad array of experiences in several sectors such as National Security, Aerospace, GIS, Stock Multimedia, Telecom, and Hospitality. In 2009, he founded the PMI Agile Community of Practice, and now is senior advisor to PMI's new agile certification. Currently, he is the Managing Director of offshore agile projects at RippleRock India. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University, he is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP®) in the world to hold both the Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) and Innovation Games Qualified Instructor (IGQI) designations.
"Jesse is brilliant. CSM is probably the best training I have attended. The class was funny, informative, and the ideas were explained in easy to grasp manner." - Pravin (India) "Valuable program which taught me many things even if I have been an Agile practitioner for 3 years." - Anonymous(India) "After taking Jesse Fewell's seminar I now have the confidence to begin my scrum journey and provide true PM value to my company" - anonymous (USA) "Fun activities & important points put in a simple fashion." - Deepa (India) "Definitely recommend to anyone interested in Agile and how to quickly implement at work." - GC (USA) "The class was very interactive and less of presentation." - Jyothi (India) "This was not my first scrum class but it certainly was the best and most fun!" - Alex (USA)
All CSM courses are taught by Trainers approved by the Scrum Alliance. Taking a CSM course, passing the CSM test, and accepting the license agreement designates you as a Certified ScrumMaster, which indicates that you have been introduced to and understand the basic concepts you need to perform as a ScrumMaster or team member on a Scrum team. This course also satisfies two elements of the CSD track: Scrum Introduction and Elective.

I was recently involved in a conversation about stress and anxiety in which we struggled to define these terms. At the time, I said that maybe stress came from an inability to be fully present with the task at hand. That might be correct, but I have since felt there was more to say on the topic. This is mainly because I have been, well, very stressed of late and in need of some clarity on the issue. … [Read more...]
