I have teflon thick skin when it comes to insults thrown my way. Short jokes, Jewish jokes, bald jokes…I've heard em all, and at the end of the day, words are words. Nothing to get upset about.
Unless a chick I fornicate with hurls disparaging words towards me. Cuts like a
dj knife.
When it comes to an intimate emotional/physical relationship with a chick, I understand that I'm the Microsoft Windows of her computer love universe. I'm the ultimate operating system that all other installed programs yield to.
I actually make it a point to fuck every woman in my life on a chair with three legs while she's bleeding as I recite the 48 Laws Of Power. That's usually the 2nd date.
With that said, I can't comprehend a female walking away from the supreme mental Mandingo experience that is David Cohen, insulting me.
Shaleelah is 5'5″ with an onion. Piercing in her eyebrow, drives a Beetle with a "BOSSBTCH" plate, and once dated Benzino. Smokes 6 L's a day, makes a mean chicken/broccoli, and doesn't believe in condoms. My everything.
Things were gravy for two weeks. At 2pm, our kids would be playing video games in her living room while we pork in the shower. At 4pm, we all at Franklin Field playing basketball while Shaleelah and I sip tomato juice/vodka out slushy cups.
At 6, 8, and 10pm, we're porking again. Thank God for video games.
After an 11:30pm dinner, we take the kids to Boston Bowl, and I later shtoop her while she wears nothing but her free bowling socks. Marriage material.
Here is why I'm not built for relationships: Kanye's swag is on a trillion. Same goes for my neurosis.
If a chick loudly crunches food, incessantly talks about her co-workers, or wears high heels to an activity that requires ample walking, I am fully prepared to hire a hit man to place a bullet between her eyes. Shaleelah violated one of my peeves. Being late.
The plan was to come to my barbecue, kick it for a while, then hit another barbecue on Dot Ave. Simple enough.
Shaleelah told me she had errands to run first, and would come through once she wrapped everything up. Cool. I text her at 2pm and ask if she's done. She hits me back. "I'm coming now." She lives 10 minutes away. FOUR HOURS LATER, she announces that she's outside. I want her dead.
I tell Shaleelah not to bother getting out the whip, and to go home.
"How you live 10 minutes away, say you're on your way, and pull up 4 hours later?"
"I told you I was running errands!"
"Nah, you told me you were coming through! I'm straight, do you."
"What is your problem- you're so fuckin controlling!"
Controlling is Ike Turner. Controlling is Bishop Don Juan. Voicing displeasure in someone keeping you waiting for 4 hours is what a normal human being does.
Our little rift suspended communication for three days, after which Shaleelah called to inform me how much of a heartless bastard I am for coldly cutting her out of my life over such a trivial matter. I told her I'm a man of principle. We somehow squashed shit, and porked later that night. Post pork, Shaleelah says she has a surprise for me the next night. She wants to take me somewhere, and I should be ready by 10pm. She stresses the importance of 10pm, as she spent $100 on our plans, and if we're late, she loses the money.
God bless her. This is her way of making up for the other day, and she made plans implemented with a time constraint no less. I recognize she's trying, and feel bad for willing to never speak to her again because of her multi-hour tardiness.
The next night, I rush home after an unexpected long day at work, shit shower and shave, and apply my finest body spray. With ten minutes to spare, I'm waiting for my boo-boo. Where could she be taking me on a Monday night at 10pm that costs $100? A hood boat cruise? An appointment-only late night massage parlor? Perhaps she collaborated with Trees and got us into a $50/head Ron Paul fundraiser. The possibilities are endless, and I felt like a giddy Appolonia about to be whisked into the night by Prince. Shaleelah is a keeper.
10pm comes and goes. 10:15. 10:25. I call.
"Where are you?"
"I was waiting for you to call me so I know you're ready."
My face turns red. Blood pressure on a trillion. Teeth clenched. I work myself up.
I hurried home and got ready with respect to the fact she stressed 10pm and losing $100. We discussed it. She spoke, I listened, I agreed, we had a plan. Like Clint Eastwood addressing his Asian neighbors in Gran Torino, I responded in quiet disgust.
"Why would you need me to call you when you said we have to leave at 10, and it's almost 10:30?"
"Alright! Daaamn! I'm finishing gettin ready, I'll be there in ten minutes!" Hangs up.
I'm livid.
15 minutes later, I get this call:
"Hurry up, I'm downstairs exchanging papers."
"Huh? Exchanging papers?"
"I got in an accident…hurry up!"
I open my front door to see a car of yt's pull up behind Shaleelah. I can't even scream on her for being late yet again, because in the midst of being late, she gets in a fuckin car accident! At that point, I've checked out for the night. I had a long day at work, rushed home to sit around waiting for this chick, now I have to stand around for this bullshit.
Shaleelah runs down the accident.
Shaleelah stopped at a red light, but realized her car was a few feet in front of the cross-walk median, so she decided to back up. Behind her is the car o' yt's, which she doesn't see.
You know how it is…very difficult to recognize a non-moving car behind you as you back up.
SMACK! Backs up into their fender, and dents their shit up.
Their party consists of two guys and a girl, who was driving. Their whip has New Hampshire plates, and they seem to be on some Abercrombie shit. Very odd that their cruising around Mattapan at this hour.
We're all huddled around their car inspecting the damage. Shaleelah casually exclaims, "Well, that's what insurance is for!" Thank God her paperwork is in order. As Shaleelah goes to retrieve her insurance info from her glove compartment, the other girl, we'll call her Becky, approaches me while she's on the phone.
"Just to let you know, I'm calling the police to file a report…I got into an accident a few months ago and it turned out the other person didn't have insurance. I just can't afford to get burned again." I say, "Why you calling the police? You have her license plate, she's gonna give you her information, this is just a simple traffic accident." Becky says, "I know, but I'll feel better with the police here."
Fair enough. Bottom line is, she did nothing wrong. Her shit is fucked up cuz someone plowed into her while she's parked behind them. Only problem is, good luck getting cops to the hood for a minor car accident in a timely manner. I know our plans for the night are a wrap.
Shaleelah hands her a paper with info written on it, and asks Becky for her info. With assistance from her two guy friends, she searches for her registration and can't seem to find it. Shaleelah gets in her driver seat as I stand by their car and smoke a square.
"Daaaavid! Daaaavid! Come here!"
I walk over to Shaleela's driver side window.
"She has my shit, we can still make it if we go right now…police ain't gonna do nothin but make sure we exchanged papers."
"Naaah, she already called the cops, and she's all nervous and shit…just wait."
Shaleelah whispers, "My inspection sticker is no good, if they come they're gonna tow my car."
"Well, you can't just leave…these people are yt! You think they haven't already written your plate down? Plus they saw me walk out my house…you can't leave an accident scene after they called the cops!"
"Police ain't even gonna come! I'm not getting my car towed! Get in and let's go!"
"Are you crazy? I got past shit for assaulting police, I'm not getting in the car with you…you have a bad sticker, you're leaving a fuckin crime scene, and you want me to drive around with you?!?"
"I'm not staying here, are you getting in or not?"
"Hell no!"
Shaleelah peels off. Becky starts freaking out.
"Omygod omygod! Where is she going! She's driving off! She's driving awaaaaay!"
Let's review. I'm left standing there with two dudes and a hysterical Becky across the street from my home while the police are on the way. I approach them as casual as possible and say, "Everything's good, she has to run home real quick and grab the tickets she forgot for our plans tonight…she'll be back in ten minutes."
Becky gets back on the horn and calls the police again. "I've been involved in a hit and run! Please come quick!"
That's my cue. I start to walk off. The broseph's are concerned.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa…where are you going?"
"I'm out, I ain't got shit to do with all this. Wait here, she'll be back."
One of them gets in front of me and grabs my shoulder. "You know her! You need to stay here until she comes back!"
I push the shit out of him and say, "You don't want problems out here. Put your hands on me again and the two of ya'll gonna be dealing with this whole block!"
Fake it till you make it. My block is filled with retirees and adorable little children. There is a menacing Asian lady next door, but the most she could do is scowl them to death.
I get to steppin and pray they're as pussy as I believe them to be. I walk up the street and cut the corner. Shaleelah and I don't speak for a week until I run into her at a Jamaican restaurant.
"So what happened with your car accident?"
"What did I tell you would happen? Nothing! I still can't believe you didn't get in the car!"
"Shaleelah, I have a felony on my record…I'm not gonna put myself in a position to ever deal with the police again. I planned on a night out with you…not jumping in a whip that hit another car with the police on the way…why the fuck would I get in the car with you?"
"You know what…you're just not hood like that."
"I'm not hood cuz I avoided dealing with police? I think that's called being an adult."
"Just the way you handled the whole shit…when I told you let's go, you sat there all loud and shit screaming "Noooo…you can't drive awaaaay" like a little bitch. That was some lame shit."
"Me not putting myself in a situation to deal with the police is lame? A situation I had nothing to do with?"
"There you go again! You make everything about you. You were supposed to have my back. You were more concerned with that bitch crying on the phone. Instead of listening to me, you wanna blow up the spot arguing with me not to leave."
"You're damn right I'm about me when it comes to dealing with the police! You left me standing there having to deal with two fuckin dudes over a situation you created by backing into a stationary car!"
"Whatever, we ain't gonna see it the same way. All I know is, that was some lame shit."
And there you have it. In hindsight, she was right…cops never came, and she gave them bogus information, so nothing happened with her insurance company.
Back to her insults. What was lame about my decision? Did I conduct myself like a shook Girl Scout, or make a responsible adult decision?
Judge Jewy…lay down your verdict.

In Santorini and Naxos just after the US elections
Our outlook on life improved once our boat landed and were picked up and taken to our hotel for three nights, Manos Villas. Our room was huge, with a nice balcony overlooking the pool. Since it was the low season, Kamari was a ghost town, but we lounged around for a little while and relaxed on the rocky beach. We rode the bus back to the main city of Fira where we walked along the western edge of town which is beautifully cramped with bone white houses perched on the cliffs high above the sea. The town and views were amazing and it finally gave us a good feel for what the Greek Isles were all about. We spent a good amount of time walking through town, and then watched a lovely sunset before heading back to the hotel.
The weather didn't cooperate for more sunbathing the following day, so we packed up our bags, checked-out and got a few hours of work done in Fira. After lunch, we headed back to the ferry terminal to catch the boat to our next island destination of Naxos. In Naxos, we stayed at a guesthouse called Pension Sofi. It was a nice little place and they showered us with hospitality the entire stay – beer and cheese on check-in, Haley a rose, home made wine and olives, gift wrapped souvenir magnet and Greek coffee.

John post the VIN NUMBER to your car. That way the company can do some research and find out if there's a way they can help you. If you want some help you have to be more specific about your problem post the vehicle identification number that identifies your car. I have touched base with the company and they want to do some research.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Home Choice gives customers options to make payments, build credit
BAXTER — Home Choice is providing another path for consumers who may want the option of monthly payments to purchase furniture, computers, TVs or household appliances — even snowblowers.
Home Choice opened in Baxter in October a few feet from Pizza Ranch on Edgewood Drive. The business chain is a sister company of the national chain Rent-A-Center.
At Home Choice, consumers will find new furniture, brand name TVs and computers and home appliances from washers and dryers to fireplaces.
Store Manager Shawn Muder said Home Choice helps people rebuild credit and make payments on items from dining sets to computer tablets to big screen TVs. The store offers delivery. And it provides service on electronics and appliances for customers with contracts in good standing.
Muder said prices on furniture is competitive while electronics may be more than in big box retailers. However, Muder said Home Choice offers flexible ownership options with payment plans and works with all kinds of credit histories. Interest rates will vary depending on one's credit history, but Muder said Home Choice can get financing for people who can't get it anywhere else.
"We work with all types of credit," Muder said.
The store offers in-house financing and acts as underwriters on loans to consumers. Customers own what they purchase and make payments on the loan to the store. Shoppers aren't limited to a payment plan and can make purchases outright, as well as pay on time or set up a layaway plan.
Home Choice is in Minnesota and Wisconsin. In Minnesota, there are 17 locations, many in the Twin Cities. Muder said the lakes area was picked as the Home Choice was looking to expand north. There are also stores in St. Cloud and Duluth.
Once approved to a certain loan amount, Muder said customers may put a little down and then Home Choice can come up with payments that will work for the consumer. Muder said generally speaking, payments are priced out at $30 a week or about $125 to $130 per month.
The majority of the products are new, Muder estimates 95 percent with some refurbished but certified laptop computers. Consumers may purchase and pay for products within 90 days without paying additiona interest when the deal is done. Flexible ownership options include layaway, 90 days same as cash and installment credit payments. Customers need to have a place to live, a source of income, a few references and proof of identification. Muder said the most popular option is the intallment loan program with weekly, bimonthly or monthly payments.
The store has five employees with opportunities for expansion.
A grand opening with ribbon cutting is planned at 11 a.m. Dec. 14 with chances to win furniture or a 42-inch LED TV. Home Choice also picked a charity in the area and will be presenting Kinship Partners with $1,000 at the grand opening event.
Muder said Kinship was recommended by one of the staff members. The charity fit the bill. Muder said it's nice to be able to provide children with a father figure or mentor and many of the staff members have families and appreciate the help mentors provide to single parent households.
Muder said his main focus is on customer service and giving people who may not have had the opportunity to buy home furnishings and have the option of a payment plan.

The recent spate of emission-control regulations issued by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is going to pose bigger compliance headaches for smaller fleets compared to their larger brethren, according to a recent analysis by GE Capital Fleet Services.
The problem is that the bevy of CARBŌĆÖs California-only rules for commercial trucks ŌĆō including the 2010 Diesel Exhaust Emission Program, Heavy Duty Vehicle Idling Emission Reduction Program, Heavy Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction measure, and Truck and Bus Regulation Reducing Emissions from Existing Diesel Vehicles measure ŌĆō make it impractical if not impossible for fleets to keep older trucks compliant. And that, said Ken Gillies, truck engineering manager at GE Capital Fleet Services, turns the operating model for many small fleets on its head.
ŌĆ£Most fleets use replacement cycles that are shorter than the CARB requirements for retrofitting older diesels. [But] the impact of these regulations will be felt more by private individuals and small fleets that keep their vehicles longer,ŌĆØ Gillies told FleetOwner.
One market segment in California that will feel a significant squeeze is the agricultural businesses operating cab over engine (COE) tractors to enable use of 57-ft. trailers, he said. ŌĆ£The compliance schedule for these trucks will depend on the model year of the truckŌĆÖs engine. Since thereŌĆÖs little option to replace these COE trucks with new ones because they are no longer available, retrofitting or discontinuing use of the 57-ft. trailer becomes the only option,ŌĆØ Gillies stressed.
The net effect is that CARB's rules make it harder to retrofit older trucks in a cost effective manner. ŌĆ£The cost to make the [retrofit] changes doesnŌĆÖt appreciably improve the value of the chassis. In some cases, financing assistance to perform the retrofitting may be difficult to obtain,ŌĆØ Gillies said.
A fleet manager recently told Gillies that he runs his local and regional delivery tractors up to 20 years or more ŌĆō and these regulations will in fact ŌĆ£forceŌĆØ him to alter his companyŌĆÖs replacement cycle. ŌĆ£He feels the cost burden will make it very difficult to maintain the same levels of service, and the cost of the products his company carries will be negatively impacted,ŌĆØ Gillies noted. ŌĆ£He expressed frustration in the State of CaliforniaŌĆÖs apparent lack of consideration for the financial impact this will have on his business and other businesses in similar operating conditions.ŌĆØ
Gillies also point out that even fleets based outside California must comply with several CARB rules if their vehicles operate within the Golden State from time to time ŌĆō and that other states are also looking at adopting several of CARBŌĆÖs rules as well.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs possible some fleets may pursue the California and non-California configuration solution. However, the logistics of ensuring a non-California configuration truck doesnŌĆÖt end up in California could be difficult to monitor,ŌĆØ he explained. ŌĆ£When considering that potential daily fines for a non-California-configured vehicle could be thousands of dollars, the incentive to develop a two-spec operation may drop considerably.ŌĆØ
Gillies added that with 18 other states strongly considering similar CARB regulations, it is important to create specs that align with CARB regulations to the fullest extent possible even if the fleet doesnŌĆÖt operate in California.
ŌĆ£Costs of either retrofitting or in some cases having to prematurely cycle a truck out of the fleet may drastically alter the lifecycle cost as projected at acquisition time,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£This question is really more about the strategies a fleet operation must employ to meet regulations in effect at acquisition time, as well as applying diligent forethought to ensure the spec meets future regulations. The truck engineering challenge is to help customers be well-informed and able to understand how the sliding scale of requirements impacts the spec and vehicle lifecycle.ŌĆØ

For his first sale in his new role as producer, former TV executive Steve McPherson has teamed with young writer Brandon Schwartz. A half-hour project from Schwartz and McPherson has landed at Fox, where McPherson has a first-look deal. Lionsgate TV, where McPherson also has a pact, is producing. Written by Schwartz and developed by McPherson, the comedy centers on a young hopeless romantic guy who, after being dumped by his first and only girlfriend, moves into a West Hollywood apartment complex with a handsome former gigolo, two aspiring female supermodels, and a self-defense instructor who become his unlikely friends and support group and introduce him into a wild new world he could have never imagined exist. McPherson executive produces, with Schwartz co-exec producing. It's the first network sale for Schwartz, who previously co-wrote two scripts for Nickelodeon. The writer, son of veteran TV lit agent Scott Schwartz, is repped by Matt Ochacher at New Wave Entertainment and Bob Getman.
Fox Buys Comedy Produced By Steve McPherson
28 Comments
"The comedy is described as a take on Seinfeld if George was eternally optimistic but even more misguided." Really? That's the take on a show? More like it's described as a show where Steve McPherson and Brandon Schwartz trade on their names to sell a show.
I guess last buying season was all about true-life stories and this buying season it's all about re-treads of old classics.
it's hollywood baby. its not the idea that sells, its the relationship between the execs.
TV Lit Agent's son Scott Schwartz made it on his own? Yeah…..right.
really nasty. what do you know about his efforts anyway????
seriously wrong and mean statement
It's the end o' the buying season network script giveaways… get in on it while you can!
They've got $$$$$ to burn and notes to churn!!!!
I was always optimistic and never misguided. I knew exactly what I was doing all the time. I am going to sue these thieves and Larry David will also sue them since George was based on Larry. Castle Rock and NBC should also sue these idiots. Who do they think they are? I know who I am and I don't give them permission to do this show.
Sounds lame and I bet it will never see the light of day.
McPherson "developed" a pilot… FOX would have gotten more for their money if they had bought something from Morris the Finicky Cat.
Morris the Finicky Cat sold his show to ABC with Will Gluck
Sounds like a show about the only straight guy in WeHo.
This kid wrote for Nickelodeon? Sounds like he actually put in his time in spite of being the kid of an agent. Glad to see somebody who is born into entertainment actually earning his keep. It would be nice if some of the kids of actors had resumes that show years of co-stars.
you don't know what putting time in is.
uh….he wrote 2 scripts….for Nickelodeon….that's putting in time??? I want to be your kid…can I have a credit card?
It says he co-wrote two scripts for Nick. It doesn't sound like he staffed, it sounds like he got two pilot scripts with another writer. And now, with no staffing experience, he's got a network pilot with a former network head. He hasn't put his time in at all to be at that level. Maybe he's a great writer. Or maybe he's just got a connection.
NICE! And, true.
Guys, who cares who his dad is or who's producing…the important thing to focus on is how risible the idea is. A chicken and a butler and mailman and a cowboy live in an apartment together! Boom! Sold! McPherson drink wine now!
His dad is an agent. An agent folks. Not Mile Ovitz. Not Obama. He's a fucking agent. His not a movie big shot. A music mogul. He's just a fucking agent. There are many more writers you could pick on where nepotism works. This one is not the case. How about some comments on the names of screenwriters making it on connections? Anyone not just a know nothing secretary out here. Go ahead. Names please.
Who are some big writers who are making it even though they write some of the word garbage around? Anyone know?
This kid is not that.
Right because someone's dad being an agent in no way increases their opportunity to get an agent themselves which is a pretty big hurdle. It doesn't mean you'll have any connection to clients at your dad's agency. You won't be more likely to get your script into anybody's hands. Definitely doesn't mean that. At all.
It only takes the smallest of breaks. Even just the confidence to know that it's possible and the awareness of how hard certain things are. He could've learned how to hustle pretty hard if he's the son of an agent so I'll give him that. He might've gotten somewhere on his own, but don't act like there were zero breaks. Just asking his dad's advice or watching what he goes through to do his job already gets him farther along in the process. People that move to LA without a trust fund are far lower down on the totem pole than this guy. He wasn't going to have to give up and go home to the Midwest because he couldn't afford to stay. Let's not be delusional. Some people are so defensive because they're afraid, deep down, they wouldn't have made it otherwise.
Brandon Schwartz is a nice guy and an incredibly hard worker. The only thing he got from his agent father is his drive. Congratulations, Brandon. You earned this!
Clearly Steve McPherson needed to find a writer to pitch something. Hard to believe a former top net exec couldn't do better than Scott Schwartz'z son.
Scott Schwartz has always been a savvy, agent. When his aforementioned son Brandon, was born, Brandon Stoddard was head of ABC and Brandon Tartikoff was head of NBC. This kid has been paying his dues since birth.
His "aforementioned son"? Do you work in the Fox legal department?
Why is everyone dinging my good friend Scott Schwartz?
Because he makes more money than all you bitches put together!!!
I normally don't comment on this site, and usually like to laugh at the comment section… but after reading a lot of these comments, I feel compelled to. I've never met Steve, but I did meet Brandon a few weeks before his FOX meeting. He was one of the funniest, most charming, smart and nicest people I have ever met. He told me story after story that I was literally almost on the floor laughing. I'm pretty sure this show was based on a short film he wrote that came from his life experience, which I think a lot of people in this town saw that I think we can all agree maybe the funniest and best made shorts we've ever seen. Do you idiots who wrote that crap even work in this town or know these guys? Steve Mcpherson took ABC from number 4 to number 1, and developed Modern Family among other shows. Brandon Schwartz worked his ass off for something like ten years getting rejected, I don't think anybody would even let him on a staff. And then he finally stepped up… and did something so undeniably great and I couldn't be happy for him, and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. You people are a bunch of jealous pricks…and I'd be you anything this gets picked up. Brandon is one of those guys you just love after meeting him, so forgive my long rant but… Do your research before you comment guys.
I'm happy for Steve. I had the opportunity to work with him for several years and I'm glad he's working in television again.
Hiring McPherson after getting rid of Marcus Wiley makes no sense, unless there is a one bully minimum at Fox.
Very happy that Steve picked this as his maiden project. It will get him back into the spirits business that much faster. Although I do feel sorry for the grape pickers.

I'm sure this is covered somewhere in this forum, but I can't find it. How do I set up music streaming from my WD TV Live Hub. I have no problem streaming video from the hub to my ipad using 8player, and can similarly view photos, but how do I stream music. For photos and videos (and music) I've just dragged and dropped folders from my laptop to the hub.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any advice.
I have found, at least with Android devices, the same apps that play the video will play your music files. Some will even access your pictures as well. Make sure the Hub is setup properly (Read the Manual) for Apple devices as I'm almost positive there is a setting of some sort for them. Music should be in it's own folder, pictures in their's and video it it's own folder. It'll help if you have a music folder off the root folder of the Hub. This applies to the other media too. Inside those folders you break it down as you want. Most of us for video do:
Movies (In root of Hub)
Action (dump all movies don't use a folder for each movie)
Drama (Same as above)
Comedy (Same As Above)
I think this is how most of us do music
Photos or Pictures you can pretty much do as you like I think....
I use my Hub for video ONLY no pictures or music. I keep music and pictures on shared external drives on one of my PCs. Music on one drive Pictures on another. But that's just how I roll, as they say. All of it can be accessed from my tablet, phone, WDTV units, Smart TV and PCs as all the drives are shared in Windowz.
My entire iTunes Media folder is on a drive attached to the WD exactly like it is in iTunes. I sync this folder periodically to my original folder so they are the same. My iTunes has NO copy-protected music in it; just mp3s from making digital albums from my CDs and music I d/l from eMusic. Therefore, everything plays without the Apple DRM Police being involved.
I make playlists in iTunes that play the music from the WD drive. I have written lots of stuff here about this, so do a search and you can find my messages.

NEW YORK - UCLA was out-savvied by a team starting five true freshmen.
UCLA was outhustled by a team down to just six players in its rotation.
And UCLA ultimately was outplayed by a team that had lost its previous four games by a combined 87 points.
St. John's sent UCLA back across the country with a 66-63 loss at Madison Square Garden in front of 7,305 and many more watching CBS's marquee Saturday game.
The Bruins' lights flickered out quickly, though, as the Red Storm clearly displayed more energy and emotion.
"They played very inspired," UCLA senior guard Jerime Anderson said. "They played like they've had a tough time the last few games and they really wanted to come out and get the win. They got to most of the loose balls, offensive rebounds - that really hurt us."
The Bruins hurt themselves more:
By turning over the ball with ruthless efficiency, finishing with 16, including eight by sophomore guard Tyler Lamb.
By failing to box out, particularly when it mattered most, as Red Storm freshman guard Phil Greene tipped in a D'Angelo Harrison 3-point miss right over Anderson with six seconds left to give St. John's a four-point lead.
And, most egregious, by playing with the gusto of a napping sloth as St. John's played as if the ball was made of 24-karat gold.
"They had the sense of urgency to go and get the rebound and they made it happen," Lamb said. "They made that win happen."
In many ways, UCLA made its loss happen.
St. John's atoned for 37 percent shooting with 19 offensive rebounds - which led to 26 second-chance points - including six offensive rebounds by forward Moe Harkless, who finished with 12 total.
The Red Storm set the tone early, grabbing back-to-back offensive rebounds on their second possession, including the latter by Harkless, who then laid the ball in for the game's first points.
And just when UCLA's energy seemed to be up, St. John's sapped it right back, with the ball seeming to bounce directly the Red Storm's way.
Case in point: With 8:02 left in the game, St. John's freshman Sir'Dominic Pointer missed a jumper and fell to the floor as the ball bounced directly into his hands. The ball eventually went to Harkless, who missed a shot as Pointer exploded toward the rim, grabbed the rebound and slammed it in to put the Red Storm up 56-53.
UCLA would get no closer than two the rest of the way.
"The offensive rebounding, allowing 19 offensive boards in a game that is not an up-and-down game today - they were using the clock and being patient as short-handed as they are - is way too many," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "That's really the biggest stat that jumps out. It was hurting us at halftime. I felt we did a good job coming out at the start of the second half and came out and scored quickly the first four minutes and got some momentum, but give them credit.
"They got the loose balls, they got the second shots."
For a team that likely needs to win the Pacific-12 Conference Tournament in order to advance to the NCAA Tournament, the Bruins blew their last shot at what might be considered a showcase win. UCLA has just four regular-season games left, with a trip to the Arizona schools next weekend before closing with Washington and Washington State and the conference tournament.
"It's a disappointing loss because I felt like we prepared well for this game," Lamb said. "We knew what we were going up against. I don't take anything away from them, freshmen or not, they came out here and played hard. They outrebounded us, they converted on our turnovers and it helped them win."

Although lately I've been using my son's baby wash out of sheer convenience, I received this lovely bar of soap from Burt's Bees and it reminded me how much I adore using a good bar of french-milled soap. I'm not talking about the kind of soap you buy and find disappearing after just a handful of washes, I mean a generous slab that you'll have in your shower for at least a month or two, and that makes you feel pretty fancy every time you use it.
This bar of Honey & Shea from Burt's Bees is just that type of soap, and I am in love with it – baby wash be gone!
So, what about you? Are you a body wash kind of person, or do you prefer to use a bar of soap?

Spring is here at last, and that means it's time for another round of PPS's bi-annual Placemaking Training programs. We love doing trainings because, even after 37+ years of working with communities around the world to make great places, we still discover new things while working with each group of attendees, who bring knowledge and insights from their projects in cities all over the world. If you are working on a place-based project or just want to learn more about our placemaking approach, we hope that you will join us on April 19-20 for How to Turn a Place Around, or the following week, on April 25-27, for Placemaking: Making It Happen.
- How to Turn a Place Around
This course serves as a comprehensive introduction to the practice of placemaking. We've learned through our work that placemaking is a sacred community process. People take the shaping of their blocks and neighborhoods very seriously, and have much to offer to planners, architects, designers, and local leaders who are ready to ask the right questions–and to listen. Through the discussion of key case studies like the Perth Cultural Centre's Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper activation plan, as well as opportunities to get out into the streets of New York City to experiment with tools like the Place Game and Power of 10, attendees develop a deeper understanding of what really makes public spaces function. The course is conducted by PPS president, Fred Kent, along with Kathy Madden, and Phil Myrick, and other PPS staff. For more details about this course, click here.
- Placemaking: Making It Happen
Making It Happen takes things a step further by teaching people who are ready to take action–especially people who are embarking on a new project–about best practices for developing an effective public space management and implementation strategy. Over the course of three days, we'll travel around New York City to visit some of its best-managed spaces with the people who helped make them happen. This course will also give participants the opportunity to discuss and get feedback on their individual projects during facilitated, interactive workshop sessions. Kent, and Madden, and Norman Mintz from PPS will all present, and we'll also be joined by Urban Space Management director Eldon Scott, Alan M. Hantman, FAIA,10th Architect of the US Capitol and former Vice President of Architecture, Construction, and Historic Preservation at Rockefeller Center, and Andy Manshel, the Executive Vice President of the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation (GJDC). For the first time, we'll be expanding the course to take place over three days instead of two, and will include site visits to some of New York City's best managed public spaces along with a dinner at PPS the first night and a reception the second night and more time for participants to present and get input on their projects. All of this will also allow for more of the networking and collaborative learning that past participants have found so beneficial to their work.
We're thrilled to be welcoming Andy as a new addition to the Making It Happen training team. Before joining the GJDC, Andy served as the Associate Director and Counsel at the Bryant Park Restoration Corporation and General Counsel and Director of Public Amenities to the Grand Central and 34th Street Partnerships. He is currently the treasurer of PPS's board of directors. He will be talking about the practical elements of public space management, successful strategies used in Bryant Park as well as the more challenging environment of Jamaica, and what is generally applicable to other places. To learn more about Andy, and for other details about this course, click here.
Please note that enrollment in all placemaking trainings is limited to 35 participants in order to promote a close-knit environment where participants can learn techniques for implementing and managing public space improvements that are practical, economical and meet the community's needs. We're looking forward to working with you to help you discover new ways to make your place great. Click here to register for one of our upcoming trainings now!

help w/ duct sizes & new supply locations
I own an old house. The furnace/blower was located in the hall w/ the return air directly underneath & supply located in the centers of MOST of the rooms. I replaced the unit and put the furnace/blower in the attic. 3 new, 12" round returns were added, 1 in the den, 1 in the living room & 1 in the master bedroom. The house is 2500sf, ranch style, 5 ton unit.
I need to replace the sheet rock on the ceiling in the master bedroom, & I thought it would be a good time to move the suppy to a more efficient location. The master is 13.5'x17.25'. The return is located near the center, along one edge of the 17.25' wall. There is a 35"x70" window on each of the 13.5' walls (near the centers) and the head of our bed will be near the center of the other 17.25' wall(opposite the return). The supply is from a trunk line that continues to a hall and large walkin closet. I want to run a new line to just the bedroom, but what size duct and where should the suppy/supplys be located? The master is approx. 18' from the main supply plenum.
Also, there is NO supply in the dining room! The dining is 13'x12' and located almost directly below the main supply plenum. The thermostat is on one 12' wall. What size supply duct in this room and the location?
|All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:46 AM.

Rest in paradise Tasha! We love you & will miss you dearly. Watch us as we grow & we will one day see you again. Forever in our hearts & always on our minds!

how sad,such a weak generation..they are just killing themselves as they cannot handle life..they are putting their families in such turmoil..selfish
#3 Jul 22, 2008
My heart goes out to her friends and family. Rest in peace Natasha.
#4 Jul 22, 2008
My heart/love/prayers/thoughts go out too Natasha and Family. We love you, our family and friends. And we miss you Natasha, even tho I never met you.
Please don't forget others involved in this terrible tragedy. The driver of the vehicles, and anyone else who witnessed or was touched by this... it brings up so many hard/sad/difficult memories of other such tragedies on our freeways/roads.
Blessings and love to us all. Peace and aloha Tuesday.

"She's not the type to jump out of a moving vehicle"
Got me thinking...I wonder what kind of person IS the type to jump out of a moving car(aside from stuntpeople that is...)
#7 Jul 22, 2008
Someone somewhere is not being truthful.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
#8 Jul 22, 2008
ok if she were going home like her boyfriend say then why were they going towards waipahu when she lives in kalihi, or do she live in ewa but anywayz somebody is not saying the truth so i wonder.
#9 Jul 22, 2008
I was thinking the same thing!
#11 Jul 22, 2008
I've lost many friends to suicide and to murders...why I left the mainland rather than live in fear.
My distraught friends who chose to leave had no idea of the love, the anquish and the questions they left behind. Can we begin to imagine THEIR pain either?
I lost a dear friend who got off the wrong off ramp in Indianapolis and was killed simply because he was white and 'didn't belong in this 'hood'(his partner was of the same race who killed him and was forced to watch the beatings and the final gunshot to the head. Unfortunately a good witness to it all)
So senseless, so useless.
#12 Jul 22, 2008
Sorry to those who knew and loved Natasha. I pray God bring peace to you at this time.
#13 Jul 22, 2008
(Well that's what the boyfriend "said." It there any history of abuse? Or was this the beginning and the end? If she isn't the type to jump out of a moving vehicle, then why would she end up on H-1? Is this another incident of domestic(vehicular) abuse? RIP)
-By the sounds of her last goodbye she probably already knew what she was about to do. Now a days there has been so many suicides people just look at that being the best and easiest way out.
#14 Jul 22, 2008
eight years apart between the boyfriend and Natasha-an 18 year old kid and a grown up man. What did they have in common? Something smells here.
#15 Jul 22, 2008
several things that stick out in this story:
as others mentioned--her BF was 8 years older; she was only 18.
he was in a position of power over her in that he was the manager at the JITB where she worked.
lastly: what's up with the father (who's in georgia, by the way) saying, "No sense of blaming whoever the cause. The bottom line is she's not here anymore. Hopefully she's in a better place." what??!!!! seems rather dismissive to me. i'm goping to guess that dad had very little relationship with his dughter, and therefore his ability not to need someone to be responsible for his kid's death.
and maybe therein lies the root reason why she, an 18 year old, found a 26 year old appealing, and why she later jumped/was thrown out of a car in the middle of the night.
my condolences to all who loved her, and my prayers for her soul.
#17 Jul 22, 2008
BF is probably not a suspect.
Pretty hard to reach over, while driving on a Highway and open the door and push someone out.
Poor girl. Too many young adults dying.
Maybe we really are heading for a depression.
#19 Jul 22, 2008
She's 18, he's 26. She jumped out of the car she was riding in with him unto the H-1. A young girl who hid her relationship with an older man.
It's really clear. A young girl dating a guy that much older than her probably got pregnant(just a thought-no get mad!) and thought there is no way out of this mess or maybe things just weren't going good with this guy. Girls don't try to jump out of moving vehicles unless they feel threatened. A boyfriend would actually provide comfort if it was a family type problem. I don't buy the story. Something's up. This guy should remain a suspect. I hope other people that knew her can shed more light on this so we can stop this madness going on with women in relationships dying tragically.
Auwe! My heart goes out to the family and friends.
#20 Jul 22, 2008
something smells fishy. i would guess that he was arguing with her, and somehow being distraught open and jumped out. first guess is check for drug usuage. second check if she was pregnant. third, check if there was money being embezled from work. fourth, was she being abused or being pimped out.
no one in their right mind would jump.
#21 Jul 22, 2008
Sounds about right. I can't recall ever having a girlfriend that didn't at one point or another threaten me with "stop this car or I'll jump out". Must be a woman thing. Some people are just drama. Guess drama didn't pay off this time. I blame it all on MTV and these stupid reality shows where the girls tell a secret that "nobody in the world knows about" to a live camera on national television. I swear. We're just encouraging stupid people. Anyways to bad she died. She should've lived to see the stupidity in her master plan.
#22 Jul 22, 2008
The bf is as guilty as they come.
#23 Jul 22, 2008
No one in their right mind would blow their brains out either, but it happens every single day.

Nebraska Wins Big Ten Women's Soccer Tournament Title
Nov. 10, 2013
ROSEMONT, Ill. – The top-seeded Nebraska women's soccer team won its first Big Ten Tournament Championship in school history after defeating No. 7 Iowa, 1-0, in Sunday's championship match at Illinois Soccer Stadium in Champaign, Ill. With the victory, the Cornhuskers earned the Big Ten's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.
Jaycie Johnson scored the game's lone goal in the 29th minute, converting a penalty kick after being fouled inside the 18-yard box. Nebraska goalkeeper Emma Stevens made three saves throughout the match to preserve the shutout.
Nebraska also captured the Big Ten Championship on Nov. 1, becoming the first No. 1 seed to win both the conference championship and tournament title since Penn State in 2008.

Fun, Inexpensive Gift Wrap
by Diane Boykas
Related Articles
Gift Bags for Less
Wrap It for Less!
As the summer winds to a close and the kids are all bored, it's the perfect time to sit inside in the air conditioning and have children help you make some extra special and inexpensive packaging for upcoming gift giving occasions.
1. For little ones, make it simple.
Get out the brown paper grocery bags (or craft paper or white butcher paper) and finger paints, and let them paint away. If they're older, they can use rubber stamps or paints and brushes and make all kinds of unique wrapping paper.
2. Juice cartons (in quart or half-gallon size or juice boxes)
These make interesting containers if you're giving small size gifts (gift certificates or money in the juice boxes) or bigger gifts. Have the kids take construction paper and glue to decorate the cartons with a solid color and then they can cut out hearts or stars or snowflakes to add on depending on the holiday. Or they can use foam stickers, glue on buttons or glitter or anything you have around the house to personalize it for that special someone.
3. Glass or plastic jars
You can find jars of all sizes from small condiment jars to use for jewelry size items or big mayonnaise jars to use for those bigger things. Get out some of that old yarn or string laying around the house, spread glue on the jar half way up and start to wind the colored yarn around and around until you can no longer see inside. Then do the rest of the jar. For the lid you can paint it a fun color or glue on a little pom pom. No yarn? Then glue on scraps of fabric or tissue paper. Plus, the glass jars can be decorated using inexpensive glass paint that you can buy at craft stores.
4. Fabric gift bags
For those who can sew (and a simple enough project for anyone learning to sew), the most reusable of gift packaging is fabric gift bags. For some really fun bags, start cutting up some of that worn out clothing and sewing it together into rectangular pieces, or you can purchase colorful fabric (seasonal Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas fabrics are out now!) at large stores for as little as $1 to $2 per yard. You choose the size bags you want and then sew up the fabric on three sides like a pillowcase. I've found a bag that is 18 inches by 24 inches is the most useful for giving everything from clothing to books. Turn right side out put in a gift and tie at the top with some ribbon or yarn. After you give a gift, the recipient returns the bag and you wash, fold and put away until the next occasion.
So keep the kids busy, save some money on wrapping paper this year, and surprise your friends and family with creative and heartfelt gift wrapping.

I just had a revision rhinoplasty 6 months ago and he reshaped my own cartilage to give me more structure, but he did mention that my problem was my thick skin. I have even more swelling in the morning and sometimes it goes away and sometimes it doesnt. My question is if Accutane will thin out my nasal skin (subcutaneous fat) which is what my surgeon said was thick and preventing my nose from being more refined?Or is there better solution THANK YOU so much
Accutane After Revision Rhinoplasty for Thick Skin?
Doctor Answers 1
Accutane does not thin out subcutaneous tissue
During the course of treatment with Accutane, the upper layers of the skin can become thinner and more fragile, but Accutane does not affect the subcutaneous fat.
I recommend discussing this issue with your surgeon or perhaps getting a second opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon regarding your situation.

What is azathioprine (Azasan)?
Azathioprine lowers your body's immune system. The immune system helps your body fight infections. The immune system can also fight or "reject" a transplanted organ such as a liver or kidney. This is because the immune system treats the new organ as an invader.
Azathioprine is used to prevent your body from rejecting a transplanted kidney. It is also used to treat symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
Azathioprine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What are the possible side effects of azathioprine (Azasan)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using azathioprine and call your doctor right away if you have any of these symptoms of lymphoma:
- fever, night sweats, weight loss, tiredness;
- feeling full after eating only a small amount;
- pain in your upper stomach that may spread to your shoulder;
- easy bruising or bleeding, pale skin, feeling light-headed or short of breath, rapid heart rate; or
- nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Stop using azathioprine and call your doctor at once if you have any of these other serious side effects:
- signs of infection (fever, chills, sore throat, body aches, weakness, muscle pain, flu symptoms);
- severe nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea;
- pain or burning with urination; or
- white patches or sores inside your mouth or on your lips.
Less serious side effects may include:
- mild upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite;
- hair loss; or
- skin rash.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Azasan (azathioprine) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about azathioprine (Azasan)?
Do not use azathioprine if you are pregnant. It could harm the unborn baby.
Some people using azathioprine have developed a rare fast-growing type of lymphoma (cancer). This condition affects the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, and it can be fatal. This has occurred mainly in teenagers and young adults using azathioprine or similar medicines to treat Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
Call your doctor at once if you have any of the following symptoms: fever, night sweats, itching, loss of appetite, weight loss, tiredness, feeling full after eating only a small amount, pain in your upper stomach that may spread to your shoulder, nausea, easy bruising or bleeding, pale skin, feeling light-headed or short of breath, rapid heart rate, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Azathioprine can lower blood cells that help your body fight infections. Your blood may need to be tested often. Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Avoid activities that may increase your risk of bleeding injury. Tell your doctor at once if you develop signs of infection.
If you need to have surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using azathioprine. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
This medication can affect fertility (your ability to have children), whether you are a man or a woman. Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about this.
Do not receive a "live" vaccine while you are being treated with azathioprine and avoid coming into contact with anyone who has recently received a live vaccine. There is a chance that the virus could be passed on to you.

Detroit Institute of Arts extends Hours for Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus - Tuesdays are added to help accommodate overwhelming demand
Friday, January 27, 2012
(Detroit)—The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) announced it will extend museum hours for the second time in two weeks to accommodate visitors wanting to see the popular exhibition Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus. In addition to previously announced extra hours, the DIA will also be open on Tuesdays, Jan. 31 and Feb. 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Both the museum and exhibition will open during the additional hours, which are:
Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 28 and 29: 10 a.m.–8 p.m.
Tuesdays, Jan. 31 and Feb. 7: 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Saturdays, Feb. 4 and 11: 10 a.m.–10 p.m.
Sundays, Feb. 5 and 12: 10 a.m.–8 p.m.
"Word of mouth has been a tremendous factor in the popularity of this wonderful exhibition," said Annmarie Erickson, DIA chief operating officer. "And even though we've already extended hours, the demand is not letting up. Opening on the last two Tuesdays will provide more options for groups and individuals to secure tickets."
The DIA urges people to purchase tickets in advance and not to wait until the final days of the exhibition to see it. The museum has extended hours in the final week for past blockbuster exhibitions, such as Van Gogh: Face to Face and Degas and the Dance, but hasn't done so in several years. In those cases, even with the extra hours, some people were unable to purchase tickets due to them being sold out.
Adults: $16; groups of 15 or more, $12 per person; youth (ages 6–17): $8; DIA members: free.
Tickets are timed and include museum admission and a multimedia tour. The final time slot each day is two hours before the museum closes. The easiest way to obtain tickets is online at www.dia.org, as tickets can be printed ahead of time, thereby avoiding a wait in the admissions line. They can also be purchase by calling 313-833-4005, or at the DIA Box Office.
The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), one of the premier art museums in the United States, is home to more than 60,000 works that comprise a multicultural survey of human creativity from ancient times through the 21st century. From the first Van Gogh painting to enter a U.S. museum (Self-Portrait, 1887), to Diego Rivera's world-renowned Detroit Industry murals (1932–33), the DIA's collection is known for its quality, range, and depth. The DIA's mission is to create opportunities for all visitors to find personal meaning in art. Programs are made possible with support from the City of Detroit.

As is the case with most action sports, it took a while for the ski and snowboard industries to start cranking out women's gear at the same rate and quality as the men's stuff. I talked to a few ladies in and around the ski and snowboard industries, and they say recent improvements are making it easier and more fun for women to hit the slopes.
Skis: More Choices, Better Construction, and 'Little Ferraris'
Adrienne Schneider, a former racer and member of Salomon's women's ski team, now runs women's clinics and coaches master's programs for men and women.
She sees the advent of rockered skis as one of the most exciting advancements in the industry, particularly for women. Unlike other cambered skis where the contact points are located at the tip and tail, a fully rockered design positions the contact points almost completely underfoot. Schneider says this makes for a more forgiving ski that's much easier to coax into turns — especially for women, who tend to not be as strong as guys, who are more able to "muscle through" turns.
"Rocker technology is going to make more women want to ski," she says. "Turning is a lot easier, they are more playful and friendly. They are like little Ferraris."
Schneider says ski manufacturers have come a long way in making skis lighter and more optimized for the way women ski.
"Ten years ago, it was not a good experience to have a women's ski," she says. "They were junk, but now they are much more forgiving."
Sarah Allen, a lifelong skier who now does marketing for a few Colorado resorts, says she has seen women's lines improve by leaps and bounds during her 20-plus years in the sport. Though women's gear is still not as plentiful as the men's selection, women have a far wider range of equipment to choose from than ever before.
And, Allen says, we've thankfully moved on from the days when manufacturers just added pink graphics to their men's models and called it a women's ski. "Women and men ski completely differently," she says. "They're creating gear more customized to the way we ski."
Snowboards: Better Boots, New Bindings, and Looking Good
Amanda Cooper fell in love with snowboarding at an early age. When she started competing during her high school years, there weren't many other women in the sport.
"There were some events when I would actually end up competing against guys because there weren't enough girls," she says.
Cooper thinks some of the most drastic improvements she's seen have been in snowboarding boots.
"When I first started riding, it was hard to find boots that really fit very well." She says she would do all kinds of funny things to get a good fit, like tear apart the boot liners and stuff her boots with inserts and footbeds. She laughs about it now, but it was frustrating at the time.
"Definitely, the women's boots have come a long way. They've been able to make boots that are really solid and form-fitting and have the support and still allow for flexibility."
She cites improvements like rear-entry bindings and the Boa system — a boot closure mechanism that uses steel cables and a crank knob instead of laces or clamps — as innovations that make it easier for beginners to hit the slopes.
"The Boa system is really good for new riders too, because it gives a lot of reinforcement and security and a custom fit."
Rae Jamison is a self-described ski bum who lived in both Denver and Jackson Hole before coming out to California, where she feeds her snowboarding habit in the mountains of Lake Tahoe. When it comes to gear, Jamison has a special appreciation for the fashion side of things.
"It's about standing out," she says, speaking of her preference for less-mainstream companies like No Mist. "It's a small brand," she says. "If someone has that on, they're in. It shows they didn't just go to the store down the street from the mountain."
Get Out of the Park
Both Cooper in California and Allen in Colorado will say they've recently seen a significant increase in snowboarders and skiers heading into the backcountry.
If you look at the culture of a decade ago, Allen says, parks were huge — riders flocked to halfpipes, boxes, and other man-made terrain features. "Now, you're seeing the pendulum swing back to where people are taking everything back to the backcountry," she says, "kind of like taking it back to where skiing used to be where you just found a mountain and you skied it or snowboarded it."
This shift is also reflected in the recent changes in gear, particularly on the ski side, according to Allen. AT (Alpine-Touring) bindings are becoming more popular and readily available. AT bindings are a cross between traditional alpine bindings used for downhill skiing and those used for telemark or cross-country. This gives skiers the flexibility to have their heels free for "skinning" up hills, as with a traditional cross-country or Telemark ski, and the ability to lock them down again, alpine-style, when descending.
In snowboarding, splitboards have gained momentum in recent years. Splitboards are often used by snowboarders who need versatility in backcountry conditions. They come apart like skis and have bindings that can be converted for skinning up hill and then reattached for riding on the descent.
Cooper says she sees this trend as a broader reflection of snowboarders and skiers wanting to take their respective sports back to their roots. Particularly in snowboarding, which began as a renegade sport — snowboarders' only choice for access to the best terrain often was to take split boards onto the mountains or to head out into the backcountry.
"I feel like that's a very natural and soulful thing," says Cooper. "You're connecting back with nature and you're experiencing what snowboarding is really all about — going fast and experiencing the feeling and joy of being able to cruise at high speeds."Go Back to Top.

Rescue helicopters were called out to two separate motorcycle crashes in which young men were hurt while doing jumps.
The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter took a 21-year-old man to Nelson Hospital with abdominal injuries yesterday after he became entangled in his motorbike when it landed awkwardly during a jump in the Stanley Brook area.
Last night the Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter took a 16-year-old youth to Hawke's Bay Regional Hospital with spinal injuries after he fell from a trial bike while during jumps at a rural property at Pourerere.

GFCI outlet question
I'm adding an outlet mostly for power tools in my garage. Sometimes the saw goes crooked and pulls an extra load. I would like to avoid going to the main panel to flip the circuit breaker. If I use a GFI at the outlet will a surge from the saw trip there instead?
No. A GFI is NOT an overcurrent device.
Either way it doesn't matter, you need a GFI anyway in the garage. That is as long as this is a 15 or 20 amp 120v receptacle/circuit
Most likely not. A GFCI measure the difference in voltage going out and coming back in not surges.
Sorry "Current" is correct. I typed that from my phone and couldn't edit it.
puttster -
is the current breaker a gfci or an afci?
seems odd that a momentary power surge would cause a breaker to go. if a 30 amp ac circuit breaker can handle the 40+ amps of the compressor start up, a regular breaker out to able to handle the saw.
If the current outlet is on the same branch circuit of other things like a few lights and such then this may be part of the problem.
You might benefit from running a new line (12AWG) straight from your panel with a 20A breaker and a 20A GFCI in the garage and reserve that for your saw. This way the full 20A is available for the motor and not consumed by lights and other loads.
Also if your saw motor is configurable (some are under a service panel) maybe you can change the motor to 240V from 120V and then you'll halve the current used and reduce the voltage drop to the panel. You'd need to run a 240V circuit to the garage for this though so it might not make sense for you (then saw can only be used on 240V).
To me a dedicated 20A 120V GFCI in the garage is the best option for this.
that is probably part of the problem.
I have 2 different AFCI circuits that will not work with my vacuum - "insta-trip". Funny is have 5 others in which the vacuum works just fine. Still troubleshooting that one after checking and re-checking every connection :wink:
In reality if the garage receptacle serves lots of other loads you should run a new circuit with either GFCI breaker or receptacle.
If it serves only garage/outdoor receptacle and lights loads ditch the AFCI and add GFCI protection where required.
I agree with cusious b though - new circuits solve a multitude of problems
OK thanks, I went and got a GFI receptacle for an extra $8. I hope it pays off.
Ok, dumb question. I thought GFCI were only needed for bath and kitchen where there is water. Why would a garage need it?
What size motor is on this saw?
The AFCI may be tripping from a noisy motor or a loose connection somewhere in the circuit.
not a dumb question. gfci is used for 15 and 20a circuit receptacles where water and electrcity mix (code required). dont have the code section handy but a summary:
1. kitchen receptacles
2. bath receptacles
3. receptacles within 6 feet of sinks
4. outdoor receptacles
5. unfinished basements
6. garages
7. buildings under construction
8. crawl spaces
9. around pools
10. laundry

The feeling of a good indoor climate begins and ends with the quality of the ambient air.
The indoor climate is invisible to the eye. We feel it more than see it, and a bad climate is liable to cause us physical discomfort. The most common discomforts are headaches, fatigue and irritation of the eyes, nose or throat.Most often these are transient conditions, but not necessarily. Allergies and respiratory problems do not have to be congenital but can develop over time as a result of overexposure to environmental pollution. And more and more often they do.Although a bad indoor climate is rarely caused by a single source alone, dust is without doubt one of the main contributors to the problems. The feeling of a good indoor climate begins and ends with the quality of the ambient air, which is why the first step towards a balanced and pleasant environment is to clear the air by effective vacuum cleaning.The natural second step is frequent ventilation of the air, so that stale air is removed and replaced by fresh air. Naturally, this part cannot be covered by a Nilfisk vacuum cleaner alone, but the need for ventilation can be kept down by frequent vacuuming, especially if you choose a vac with a high-efficiency HEPA filter.While the vacuum cleaner sucks up the dust on the floors, the HEPA filter cleans the exhaust air and prevents dust particles from being recirculated back into the room. HEPA filters clear the air, so to speak, which means that they are not only effective, they are also good for you.
Do you need a vacuum cleaner with extra strong suction, a top class filter, low sound, and long durability? Nilfisk Extreme offers all of that. If you are interested in a low energy and recyclable machine the Extreme Eco is the answer, and it even delivers high performance.

The Nilfisk Extreme Eco combines a high performance level with a low energy consumption. First of all, the high quality motor is in itself very energy efficient. In addition more than 95% of the machine can be recycled at the end of its lifetime.
Nilfisk Power series is for those who want excellent cleaning results. Do you want a smart vacuum cleaner that has a 1600W motor for excellent dust pick-up, a EPA filter , a really low sound level, and a robust and reliable design? Nilfisk Power is the one. Nilfisk Power is also available as a energy "A" rated version, with a super efficient 750W motor.
The Nilfisk Power Eco combines a high performance level with a low energy consumption. The high efficiency of the motor module means that while you are lowering your energy consumption and are reducing the negative effect on the environment you still get an excellent cleaning result.

Energy saving – with an Energy Class 'A' rating you will save up to 50% of power usage compared to other vacuums.
Smaller for easy storage – we've made the Nilfisk Select small enough to store easily whilst still retaining all the latest features you would expect from a larger vacuum cleaner. The Nilfisk Select Superior is fitted with a remote control handle with adjustable suction levels, and on/off functionality - makes using the Select a breeze.
So breathe easy with the new Nilfisk Select
A trend we experience today is unfortunately that many households suffer from one or several kinds of allergies and that is something we have taken to heart. With the Nilfisk Elite we pick up dirty air into the vacuum cleaner and with outstanding filtration, we exhaust clean air back out. Therefore not only cleaning our floors but the air we breathe as well.
At Nilfisk we can ensure that your needs are met because we concentrate on making excellent vacuum cleaners. We believe in focusing on being the cleaning expert, and doing it well.

Here are a few things to consider when purchasing a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter:
A vacuum cleaner with a good HEPA filter is a bit more expensive than regular vacuum cleaners, but is a good investment for anyone who cares about the quality of their home environment.
Nilfisk Elite is designed to be durable, while at the same time making cleaning easy and ergonomically efficient.
As with all Nilfisk machines, the design is outstanding with careful attention given to ergonomics and environmental friendliness. The Thor Eco offers 25% reduced power consumption via a 900w fan unit yet still providing an excellent cleaning performance.
