Yea I cant decide whether I like the sound of catless downpipe with the hks, or the hiflow catted cob or invidia downpipe with the hks downpipe.
and yea I know, I want to get a catless up pipe but i havnt had time to buy one and then swap them out. I kinda want to wait till i can just get a down pipe too so I can throw it all together at the same time.

Unless you are prepared to deal with the possible issues of boost spike/creep just go catted. Some have issues with it and some dont. If you do get it, it can be a real headache. Sometimes it can be tuned out and sometimes not. Gains are minimal with a catless downpipe. The catless uppipe is a great mod on the 02-05's though. Not only does it open up flow but, the cat can also start to break up and if it does the first place it goes is into your turbo. Not good!

post #23 of 29 Old 04-14-2013, 11:28 AM
I dont think its too loud (but I like it loud). helix might be a little better quality though. both should mate up to the hks just fine. Nothing wrong with the megan but I would go with the helix.

On June 14, 2010, we celebrate Flag Day in the United States, and, for the first time in our history as a nation, citizens who identify as transgender will have at least one good reason to believe that our United States flag flies for them as well.
On June 9, 2010, the US Department of State announced new guidelines for issuing passports to people who identify as trans.
No longer will trans identified persons be required to supply proof of irreversible sex reassignment surgery to change the gender listed on their passports. No longer will they be "singled out" or "outed" as transgender in potentially hostile and dangerous environments or in the presence of security personnel with limited training or understanding of trans issues.
I want to commend all of the people -- elected officials and advocates -- who have worked for years to create these new rules, which represent a major advance in securing safe, humane and dignified treatment of transgender people. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY), Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies (GLIFAA), and the Obama administration -- particularly Secretary of State Hilary Clinton -- really understood the need for this change and responded. The Center for Global Equality, The Task Force, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Lambda Legal, Metropolitan Community Churches, the Human Rights Campaign, the American Medical Association and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) all deserve our applause.
This is one of those days when I feel good about the campaign phrase, Yes, we can!
It is my hope that other institutions in the United States will now follow the State Department's lead in this area and remove harmful sex and gender profiling from their policies and practices.
Sadly, this need is greatest in our churches, where patriarchy and its attendant twin, heterosexism, so painfully exclude women and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from the full fellowship of faith. Yet, I am encouraged.
In a few weeks, I will participate as a registered observer in the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in Minneapolis. Soulforce, the organization for which I serve as Executive Director, will host a two-day Pray In on behalf of the general commissioners and advisors and 8000 attendees at the General Assembly. The commissioners and advisors have to sort through hundreds of "overtures" from their churches and ultimately render a vote deciding whether lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are worthy of ordination as deacons, elders and ministers.
They also have to vote on whether ordained persons can conduct legal marriages of same-gender couples in those states where these marriages are legal. Without the sanction of the General Assembly and, ultimately, the Presbyteries, ordained ministers who conduct these marriages can be brought up on charges by the church and lose their status.
How painful and confusing for everyone involved. It is a bit of irony, or perhaps, a movement of the Spirit that the Presbyterians will take these votes in the same convention hall where the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) took their vote last year. The ELCA chose higher ground and eliminated every condition of exclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
I know that there will be Presbyterians at the General Assembly in Minneapolis who just want gay issues to go away, sort of a "don't ask, don't tell" way of being Presbyterian. And, sadly, there will be those who continue to leave the church because they are unwilling to live a lie or refuse the sacrament of marriage to one set of parishioners while offering it to others.
For today, I am choosing to be exuberantly confident that if the State Department can get it right for trans people, the Presbyterians and all of the rest of the churches in America can get it right as well. I base that confidence, in no small part, on the wonderful and long-standing "tag-line" of the PC USA. They have made it 219 years, in their own words, "reformed, always reforming."

replaced flooded convertible jet pump, pressure will not go over 30 lb.
After my system was flooded with Hurricane Irene. I relocated the pump and tank to a higher level. I placed the pump on a platform close to the ceiling under the house (house on pylons) I placed the captive air tank on the first floor living space in a closet under a stairwell (within 3-4ft of pump and about 20in. above it). The original pump was setup with one pipe suction, so I assume it is set for shallow well. On the coast of NC the water table is high. I know a deep well jet pump can be setup using the casing as the second pipe and only have one pipe to the pump. But I was told at Lowe's the 1hp shallow well jet pump would work fine. I am right on a large creek off the Neuse river. The well is in an aquifer with a well depth of 180 ft. with high recapture rate. After installing the pump, it comes on and draws water. The pressure gauge never goes above 30 lb. I have a check valve installed on the suction pipe where it enters the pump to hold prime. It appears that water is not getting into the presure tank. When I turn the power off and open a drain valve the ammount of water seems no more than what is in the pipes (5gal.bucket) If I turn power off the pressure gauge eventually drops down to 0, (small leak on a galvanized fitting, but very small). Is the pressure not going above 30 lb. a symptom of the pump not able to pull the water high enough to fill the tank and activate the pressure switch?
Sounds to me like the pressure tank is not set correctly, but I could be wrong.
pressure not over 30 lbs. with tank vale turned off
I was thinking the same thing and turned off the valve going to the captive air tank. I went under the house and turned on the pump. open a drain valve to remove any trapped air until water came out. Closed the valve and the pump pressure went to 30 lbs. and no higher. I opened the valve and filled a pale with water to check for sand, which would indicate a possible leak in the pipe from the well but no sand. Not sure what to do next.
Isn't your well (180 ft) too deep for a jet pump?
It is my understanding that along the NC coast todays drillers go down to a huge aquafer about 150-200 ft. for a residential well. But once the well is made the water rises in the casing to the static ground water level which is only about 8ft. so the foot valve intake only has to be placed within the first 25ft of depth. Even with a small diamater casing (mine is 2") the aquafer refresh rate is so large the water level never drops in the pipe. All surface pumps are shallow well jet pumps unless a lrger diamater casining is used with a submersable pump.
The pump I had before the storm was a Gould 1HP convertable with the shallow well ejector kit turning it into a single pipe system.
If there are any drillers out there and I have this wrong please advise.

Several years ago I made the decision to move to one platform for carry. With the guns I owned at the time, the G19 "won". I aquired a couple and carried one for just about 5 years.
While at the range about 3 years ago, I guy allowed me to try his P7. Well, I should say allowed me to try several of his various P7's. Thus began my conversion from the G19 and love affair with the PSP. I now am Glock free and own two P7's. They fit my hand like a glove and the trigger is very crisp and clean. I hardly notice the squeeze-cocker any more and my accuracy is improved by about 75%. I never thought I could shoot as well as I do with my P7's. Double taps are no problem even while moving between targets.
Just thought I would share. My carry gun is in the avitar pic.

Basement Toilet Rough In - Help
2 Attachment(s)
I am planning to add a bathroom in the basement. There is plumbing rough-in that was put in by the builder. In the attached pictures, the left rough in is for a 36 x 36 shower area and the right rough in is for the toilet.
The rough-in for the toilet is less than 12 inches from the wall. Assuming the framing and the 1/2 inch drywall (yet to be installed), the distance is approximately 10 inches to the center of the rough in pipe. in addition, if you look at the picture, you will also notice that the toilet rough in is not quite centered - there is more space between the toilet and the right wall framing than the toilet and the shower area.
So far, my options are:
1. use a 2 inch offset flange and get approximately 12" distance from the wall. This would fit a regular toilet bowl. OR use a 10" rough in toilet, however, the toilet will be a bit off centered. I was planning to cover up the space with a cabinet decor or some decorative component to make it not look off centered. Are there any issues to using an offset flange?
2. Break the concrete and reposition the pipe. This would cost $$ $$ for a plumber to do it. Is this something I can tackle as a DIY? How difficult is this?
Do you have any recommendation on what I should do? Please advice if you have other alternative to finish this basement bathroom.
Thank you
I would break up the concrete and reposition (cut off the old pipe and glue and reattach/fit the new pipe) to your liking. Its real easy and you can rent the hammer jack with chisel from a place like Home Depot for about $40-$50 a day. The work will take you about 1 hour to compete. I am not sure if you are getting a home permit but if you are, you will need to leave the hole open (do not cover up via concrete the repositioned pipe) until its inspected.
I have done this work before and it is not difficult. On a scale of 1 thru 10. (10 meaning extremely complicated) I would rate this a 2. You will save yourself lots of $$$.
I may be a little too late, but...
You have 2x4 framing along the back wall. The plumber may have assumed that the wall would be furred out just proud of the plumbing along the wall. It looks like 2" furring (instead of 2x4 studs) might get you as much as an 1 1/2" additional floor space. Is this possible??? This may get you closer to using a 12" rough-in toilet. This along with an offset flange would allow you to position the toilet farther away from the shower as well.
Best of luck.

Re: slot argument weirdness
Hi Jerry,
you are nearly there. If you set:
m = {{#1, #2}, {#2, #1}}&;
all is well.
The reason for this is, that ...& is a function. Functiosn has the
attribute HoldAll what prevents from the replacement of m by its value.
You get a function that always returns m. This leaves m that is
subsequently evaluated. Another solution that forces the evaluation, is:
Apply[Evaluate[m] &, v]
hope this helps, Daniel

School of Education researchers Robert Balfanz and Vince Byrnes of the Center for Social Organization of Schools recently published the results of their finding on school absenteeism titled Chronic Absenteeism: Summarizing What We Know From Nationally Available Data. As reported in the New York Times, up to 15 percent of US students are chronically absent from school and doing long term damage to their academic progress.
According to the report, chronic absenteeism is not the same as truancy or average daily attendance – the attendance rate schools use for state report cards and federal accountability. Chronic absenteeism means missing 10 percent of a school year for any reason. A school can have average daily attendance of 90 percent and still have 40 percent of its students chronically absent, because on different days, different students make up that 90 percent.
Limited data is available from only six states address this issue: Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Nebraska, Oregon and Rhode Island. How these states measure chronic absenteeism, however, differs by number of days and by whether or not data include transfer students. Such limited data produce only an educated guess at the size of the nation's attendance challenge: A national rate of 10 percent chronic absenteeism seems conservative and it could be as high as 15 percent, meaning that 5 million to 7.5 million students are chronically absent.
The Times report notes that many studies have linked frequent absence to low academic achievement and high dropout rates; recent studies of children in New York, Chicago and other cities suggest that attendance may predict a student's academic progress as effectively as test scores do. Poor children —who stand to benefit most from attending school — are also more likely to miss school. Click here to read the full report.

Nokia's Design Research for Everyone
British interface designer and user anthropologist Jan Chipchase spent several months last year thinking about how the human race shares things. He's an exploratory human behavioral field researcher at the Nokia (NOK) Research Center based in Tokyo. Chipchase tries to help multidisciplinary researchers understand how the world will be in the future. On Mar. 9, he spoke at the TED conference in Monterey.
His talk, which he called "Always On: An Introduction to Design Research for Everyone," quickly became a hot topic of discussion among conference goers. BusinessWeek.com Innovation Editor Jessi Hempel sat down with him there to discuss what an anthropologist is doing working for a cell-phone company. Edited excerpts from their conversation follow:
What exactly do you do, Jan?
I work for Nokia Design. It's a group of 250 people worldwide in Nokia that includes psychologists, industrial designers, materials experts, and people like me, anthropologists. We use human-behavioral research to think about how the future might turn out.
Help me understand better.
At Nokia, we have an internal market for ideas. There could be someone in Nokia who wants research, and they will come to us. You might have people in the company who want questions answered. A simple example would be: How are early adopters of mobile TV using mobile TV? That's about current behaviors. We would go to the place where the technology is being rolled out, South Korea, and we would look at that. We would take the core lessons of that and think about the further, future place.
Then there are areas where growth is likely in five years because of demographics or price points but we don't fundamentally know too much about this area beyond analyst reports and the research.
Can you give me an example of some work you've done?
Let's talk about a study we did last year on how people share objects. You can relate this to mobile phones. They're basically designed as personal objects. But if you look at usage in Africa, increasingly the phone is shared. A family might have one. A village might have one, or someone who runs a phone kiosk in a village might have one. We're thinking about how we could redesign the mobile phone and the communication experience to be more suitable for sharing.
We picked two cultures, Indonesia and Uganda. Cultural comparisons are good because they can tell you about what's similar, but also sometimes they make it easier to see obvious differences. We need a month's lead time to plan for a study. I prefer something like three or four months, but we can move quite swiftly if we need to.
So in this instance, you sent a team to Uganda. What did you do to prepare?
Before we arrive, we plan the project to death. We determined where we wanted to be, and then we connected with the people in the community who could help us to arrange this. We wanted to spend time in Kampala, in a fishing village that was remote, and in villages that had no mobile connectivity.
In a 12 day study, we might have eight to 10 participants. A fairly typical group will include two or three Nokia people, one or two good local guides, plus up to six students from local universities. Ideally, when we get somewhere, we like to be in a space where everyone can come together. Ideally, it means renting a house, having a living room space, having stuff in a fridge.
Everyone in Nokia is coming from a different location. We spend something like 10 to 12 days in a culture. Every single second and every single thing that we do should be something we can learn from. We usually end up engaging with around 30 local people on an ad hoc basis.
Do you ever stay with your subjects?
Very occasionally we live with people. I know anthropologists have been doing this for years, but in the modern corporate sense, it's quite difficult to do. There are legal obligations when you think about all the various risks. The liabilities can be huge.
So what happens when you get there?
As soon as we arrive, the rules change. Maybe there's no electricity, or the guy who really absolutely said he wanted to be a part of the study won't do it. There are so many different variables. If we just go by the book when we're there, we would miss all these different opportunities for stuff that presents itself. We really try to see how people fit together and adapt.
How do you approach your research?
We have maybe a dozen techniques for engaging with people from the local culture. We do street surveys which typically involve 100-plus people. Typically, I buy a bicycle and cycle around the city with a translator. If we see something interesting, we get off and we engage. It's a breadth and depth approach to understanding the culture. Last year, I think I bought 10 bicycles. At the end of the study we give them away to people.
What did you learn about how humans share things?
When we're there, the fact is there are 101 things we would have never considered when we were planning. Some stuff is loosely related to what we're interested in, and some is just a total tangent, but we make sure we document it all.
When we went to Uganda and Indonesia to deliver one report, we actually came back with five or six reports. We did one big one, but we delivered all these other very visual reports that we knew would interest different people in the company. I posted a few of them online.
It was things like: If you don't have access to power, how do you keep electrical objects in your home charged? They had incredibly simple yet sophisticated ways of doing this.
It's innovation through necessity. For example, if there's one person in the village that has a mobile phone, it's possible to send money to any person in the village. It works like this: I'm in Kampala, an urban location. You're my cousin, and you're in a village somewhere in a rural location. This is really an example of street innovation. You don't have a mobile phone, but there's a phone in the village. I buy a prepaid phone card in Kampala, and instead of using it to top up my own phone, I call the local village kiosk operator and I read out the number, and they use that number to top up their phone. Or I could text message it. Some of the carriers have caught on to this and worked out a way of systematically sending air time.
So then the kiosk operator pays the cousin the cost of the minutes?
There's this thing called "sente." It's the word for money in Uganda, and it's got a second meaning, which is to send money as air time. It works in the same way, except the kiosk operator then takes a commission of 10% to 20%—basically extending banking services to people who have no banking infrastructure.
If they wanted to do this before the mobile phone, they would have to spend a day traveling to the nearest village. They would have to wait at a bank for many hours. And even then, the bank probably wouldn't be able to do the money transfer because they wouldn't have a bank account because they're not rich enough.
Basically, this turns anyone who has a mobile phone into an ATM machine on an abstract level.
What does this mean to Nokia?
There are actually things that come out of this that help us frame other things directly related to our business. But the other side of it is simply using it to inspire us to think more broadly.
One example: Within six months of completing that study in Uganda, one of our business units had filed a patent not directly relating to something like "sente," but using the material from the entire study as an inspiration to [investigate] how people manage the expenses related to their calls. It was being offered as a financial service by our business unit.

So, now I have had her home for a little over a month. It was very hard to trade in my Premium AWD for a Lux FWD. I felt maybe I made the wrong decision. Then going from Platinum Ice to Black Raven was a bit of a let down (just for a few days) because I realized how difficult Raven is to keep looking spotless. Plat Ice always looked clean, even on it's ugliest days.
Now - I know I made the right choice. I do love CUE. There are just cool things that happen while driving that. . sure, I could live without - but why would I?? About a week ago, I was driving home in rush traffic and this voice came over the speakers "Caution. There is an accident ahead. Expect delays". Way cool. I was able to jump off the next ramp and circumvent the hour long traffic jam. Then, yesterday I noticed that there are weather alerts which is another cool thing.
It's so quiet, you literally don't hear a sound from the outside. The ride is so smooth compared to the 2010 (the 2010 is quiet and smooth but this is a whole new level). I love it.
Even black has grown on me (Our local Carwash offers a monthly unlimited wash. This was my only hope to be able to sleep at night. Problem solved).
Another cool thing (non SRX related) was that about 4 days after we got our SRX home . . UPS knocked on our door with a delivery. It was a very nice hard cover book from Cadillac. Very elegant looking. Then the next day, UPS knocked on our door again. Our Dealership (City Cadillac) sent a gift basket of Lindt and Godiva chocolates, cheese, crackers, teas .. and some other things.
VERY NICE Touch. Very classy thing to do. Is this a Cadillac thing (the gift basket) or is it a dealership thing? I would like to share my thanks.

Either way it was a good decision on your part to get out.
You being the only one of us that was there have a unique insight as to how these guys were behaving. If they were BG's you got out before they were able to formulate a plan. If they were plain clothes you took yourself out their equation. If they were working and it hit the fan and you were still there after they made you I imagine at least one of them would have been watching you very closely. That would mean that they couldn't focus completely on who they were there for, and you being an armed question mark in their area of operation would have to be controlled or managed in some way.

Joint JuiceWhy 3 Stars?
Rating Loss Breakdown
Lacks Bromelain
Lacks Calcium
Some may prefer a capsule over liquid
Recommended replacement: Movexa Joint Support
Joint Juice is a supplement for joint support. It contains ingredients that are thought to help keep cartilage flexible and lubricated well. The addition of Vitamin D and calcium is to help keep bones strong as they work in conjunction with joints.
Glucosamine is one of the most popular ingredients in joint formulas, including Joint Juice. It is an amino sugar that plays an integral part in connective-tissue construction as well as the formation of healthy cartilage. Proteoglycans – as well as other substances – form tissues that protect these areas of the body. Glucosamine is one of the foundations of these proteoglycans. If our bodies are not producing enough glucosamine, we can develop problems in our ligaments, tendons, bones, nails, and skin – as well as other areas of our bodies. While a "perfect" body will produce enough of this amino sugar to carry out the necessary processes, wear and tear on our bodies can produce an environment that is not making enough. It is for this reason that many people with joint problems such as arthritis are seeking to supplement their bodies with glucosamine. When used in conjunction with chondroitin sulfate, reversing the breakdown of cartilage may even be possible.
Joint Juice also includes some extract from green tea in its product. Green tea is largely known for its abilities to work as an antioxidant, fighting off free radicals whose intent is to break down the body. Likewise, rheumatoid arthritis may flare up when inflammation or infection occurs.
Joint Juice also comes in powder form, and users are directed to add one packet to a 9-ounce glass of water. It is to be mixed and taken once a day every day in order to see maximum results.
– may provide relief from joint pain
– may help regrow cartilage

6 m old puppy suddenly barking...
I have a 6 month old male GSD that we have had since he was 2 months old, great dog. We love him and the feeling is mutual. Just lately he has found his voice and had begun barking at strangers. What really concerns me is that he really barks at little children. Hair up on the back of his neck, the whole nine yards. My own kids are grown up, 22 & 20, but I took him into Petco yesterday and there were these 2 little 2-3 year olds walking around with their parents. He pulled and barked like crazy trying to get to these kids. How can we get him to overcome this behavior?

OP I would do a trial and sleep down with your dogs for a few nights and see if something changes. Sorry to say, but the wife not wanting the "dog smell" pretty much went out the window when she agreed to have 4 dogs. I'd definitely avoid the bark collar on a 4 month old puppy. Not of fan of them to begin with but that's just my opinion and me never having a super barky dog.
Does she get annoyed with the barking?
254 Attachment(s)
Never mind.
But if you are crating at night and day too, isnt that too much? I think people generally do only upto 8 hours a day?
Lots of good advice in the comments above. I would repeat that it's not a good idea to put a bark collar and that young of a pup. When he's older if you choose to use it, it will have no effect on IPO barking. We have club members who remove theirs from the dog's neck literally when they are taking them out for their protection session. They use them so the dogs don't bark themselves out before it's their turn. When they get on the field and see the blinds, trust me, there is no problem barking.
I think the OP left the building many months ago.
Sounds like your pup has found a bit of bravado which he is exercising....
Might be a good time to temper his "swagger" appropriately.

Great work so far, the only issue I seemed to have was with saved wifi networks. It occasionally would disconnect and then on trying to reconnect it would simply hang at saying saved network and when I would press the network to connect it wouldn't even try to connect.This would go on for some time even after toggling wifi and airplane mode. In most cases it would eventually reconnect on its own but it seemed like it could be an issue for some.
Had this happen to me earlier, but it went a bit further. Seems like after the device has been on for a while (8+ hours? not sure yet), the Wi-Fi decides it doesn't want to connect to saved networks anymore. It seems like it kept trying to connect though, as during that period the phone got pretty warm and the battery started draining pretty quick. I had to reboot it to get everything back to normal.
If I can get it to happen again and I am in a place to gather logs and whatnot, I will try.

"Firstly, I know you all want salary-cap information. And I try my best to
provide it. But as I always say, it's nearly impossible to relay entirely
accurately information.
Even when we have the numbers in front of us and ProFootballTalk.com did
a nice job of giving them to us on Sunday we don't have the full story. In
other words, it's nice to have a number (and PFT says it was $3.8 over as of
Friday at 4 p.m.) but we can't always be sure of all the factors that play
So the best I can do for you now is provide an estimate.
Let's use the starting point of the Giants' being $8-9 million over the cap a
few weeks ago. After that, they franchised punter Steve Weatherford, which means
another $2.6 million to add to that. So we're at roughly $10.6-11.6 million
over. Now, subtract the $6.75 million they saved on the Eli
Manning restructure and the $5 million they saved by cutting
Brandon Jacobs and you have then anywhere from $150,000 to $1.15 million
Please, please, please remember this is a very loose estimate. Again, we
don't have all of the financial information. Figure there to be a little more
wiggle room by 4 p.m. Tuesday when the league year begins.
Also, remember teams have three $1.5-million veteran exceptions to use
against future years' caps. So once again, having a number is great but it
doesn't give the full picture. Only the team has that because they know the
* * * *
Now that we have that settled uh, sorta here's a list of the Giants'
free agents as we're now a little more than a day before the 2012 league year
begins. I tried to provide some insight where I could, but a lot of this is
obviously guesswork at this point.
I'll continue to update and link to this entry as free agency progresses
so we have a full picture of the comings and goings for you.
WR Mario Manningham: Will probably get a deal the Giants
just can't, and won't want to, match.
CB Terrell Thomas: Re-signed
with Giants.
CB Aaron Ross: For those who assumed he'd be a goner, hang
on for a bit because the Thomas situation complicates things. The Giants want
Ross back but it's a matter of financials here. Stay tuned because it'll be
interesting on the Thomas/Ross front.
DE Dave Tollefson: The Giants want him back, but as SI's
Peter King noted when he put him No.
41 on his list of top free agents, some have a higher value of him than the
Giants will probably offer. In fact, our Jorge Castillo tells me this morning
Tollefson is likely done with the Giants after five seasons in East
LB Chase Blackburn: Word is they want him back to continue
his comeback story but given the team's cap situation it'll likely be for a
minimum deal. Blackburn might've been at home until nearly December last season
but he closed the season strong and had an interception well downfield in the
Super Bowl. And after learning last season how quickly a career can be put on
hold, he's going to try cashing in on the free market.
S Deon Grant: Like Blackburn, he'll probably get a minimum
offer from the Giants, which is $925,000 for him so it's nothing to sneeze at.
In any event, figure Grant's situation to take a week, two or even more to begin
to formulate.
LB Jonathan Goff: Here's another guy the Giants probably
thought they'd have locked up by now. But like Thomas, he's coming off an ACL
injury so his value is a bit muddled. A good guess would be he's back with the
QB David Carr: Okay, so things didn't quite work out the way
he hoped at the beginning of his career. And after resetting the table in his
first stint with the Giants, things didn't work out with the Niners, either. But
he could be a backup quarterback for another 3-5 years and there's no shame in
that. The Giants want him back and this is a good spot for him.
WR Domenik Hixon: Re-signed
with the Giants.
P Steve Weatherford: Received
the franchise tag. Won't sign it right away, as he's still hopeful a
long-term deal can be worked out shortly.
RT Kareem McKenzie: A very good seven seasons with the team
but he's expected to head elsewhere. Unless he finds a very, very bare market,
he won't be back.
WR Devin Thomas: They've had talks with his agent about
bringing him back but so far nothing concrete.
OL Stacy Andrews: His brother Shawn tweeted over the weekend
is now blood-clot free after a
scare late last season that resulted in his being put on IR. That's great
news. Stacy will still be on Coumadin until May to make sure he doesn't have any
more issues. The Giants will probably welcome him back if he's willing to accept
a minimum deal.
OT Tony Ugoh: Signed when Andrews went on IR. No urgency
here for the Giants.
DT Rocky Bernard: The team released him last summer when he
declined a pay cut then brought him back for a minimum deal. He'll be 33 in
April, so maybe he'll just remain on the team's short list for down the
DT Jimmy Kennedy: After serving a four-game suspension for a
violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, he suited up
for only one of the last six regular-season games and was inactive for the
entire postseason. He probably won't be back.
CB/KR Will Blackmon: He's glad he came back from another ACL
issue. He got a ring out of it.
CB Michael Coe: Suffered a shoulder injury late in the
season that landed him on IR and made way for Blackmon to return.
CB Justin Tryon: Had a nice couple of games before breaking
his arm while somehow still managing to make the tackle. Figure the Giants to
try retaining him for depth.
WR Michael Clayton: He landed on IR in late November. A good
guy and a good locker room presence, his career might be over.
S Derrick Martin: Underrated special-teams presence will hit
the free-agent market. It's unclear right now if he'll find what he wants
CB Bruce Johnson: Re-signed with the Giants.
TE Jake Ballard: Re-signed with the Giants.
TE Bear Pascoe: No news of a tender offer for him but that's
surely coming.
NOTE: This entry originally had Pascoe as an RFA and Johnson as an ERFA
because, well, that's what everybody including myself thought was going on. But
as Ralph
Vacchiano noted on Twitter, Johnson was the RFA while Pascoe is the ERFA.
Either way, everybody's coming back.
None yet. That would be tampering. ...
* * * *
That's all for now. Stay tuned, though, because we have plenty on the way in
one of the more interesting parts of the NFL offseason. Should be fun this

It has plenty of information. I would respect those who have read all the information there... I understand the passion of its creator for this website, but it may have too much information included and, in my opinion, it's better to make it simpler.
Itsukushima, or Miyajima, is another World Heritage Site. It is famous for the Red Torii Gate in the sea, which is 16 meters high. I heard that it was accessible at low tide, although we visited there at high tide. Itsukushima was chosen as one of the top three views of Japan. (The other two views are at Amanohashidate and Matsushima.) I didn't know why there were some deer in front of the ferry port. Anyway, the red main building was beautiful with a Noh performance stage, which reminds Japanese people of a period drama scene. The island is also famous for rice paddle and there was a large rice paddle displayed on a street. A lot of domestic and international tourists were strolling around the island. I was asked to take a photo of a couple from overseas in broken Japanese. However, because I talked to them in English, they looked surprised to meet a English-speaking Japanese

The GMSL will be providing an opportunity for individual GMSL players to sign up and be part of one of three teams' ages. The Whitecaps will supply the coaching staff to lead the GMSL select teams in the Showcase, which takes place from March 6 to 8. "We decided to replace our annual GMSL Showcase, in order to support this Whitecaps Showcase opportunity, as part of our ongoing partnership," said GMSL vice-chairman Steve Allen. "We feel that working with the Whitecaps, we can enhance more opportunities for individual GMSL players to take part in the Showcase. "We're pleased to work with the GMSL in creating these Showcase select teams," said Whitecaps managing director of professional development Chris Murphy. "Our staff are looking forward to getting the players into teams and ready for a memorable showcase experience." In 2009, the Whitecaps supported the GMSL College Recruiting program by providing staff to coach and scout the players during the event. In addition, the Whitecaps and GMSL partnership included the Whitecaps Women's soccer series, which took three of the Whitecaps W-League regular season stand-alone matches out to the local pitches of Lower Mainland communities. Players that are interested in participating on one of the GMSL select teams, please contact Steve Allen by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. The Whitecaps West Coast College Showcase provides a unique opportunity for U-15 to U-18 players to demonstrate their talents to a large audience of college and university coaches and scouts. Off the field, players will gain an advantage by learning about college recruitment, scholarships, as well as entrance requirements and processes. The Showcase takes place at Newton Athletic Park in Surrey, BC, with the girls weekend set for March 6 to 8, 2010, while a boys showcase weekend will take place in 2011. For more information on the Whitecaps West Coast College Showcase, CLICK HERE or contact Chris Murphy at email@example.com or by phone at 778.866.0977. Girls Metro Soccer League The GMSL is an elite youth soccer league in British Columbia that includes over 1,000 U-14 to U-18 girls on 60 teams over eight districts.

Publication Acceptance Date: 12/1/2006
Publication Date: 2/12/2007
Citation: Orthoefer, F.T., List, G.R. 2007. Dynamics of frying. In: Erickson, M.D., editor. Deep Frying Chemistry, Nutrition and Practical Applications, 2nd edition. Champaign, IL: AOCS Press. p. 253-275. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Frying, one of the most important methods of food preparation, is widely used by both the food industry and consumers. Its popularity continues to grow, even with the media now stressing reduced dietary oil consumption. Fats and oils have unique properties that add to the flavor and mouthfeel most desirable in overall food palatability. Deep-fat frying is a popular restaurant preparation technique because it is fast and convenient. Properly fried foods have a dry, nongreasy appearance and taste. When well prepared, the food surface is crisp outside and moist or tender inside. Flavor, color, and odor are all important attributes. Frying is deceptively simple, yet it is one of the least understood methods of food preparation. It continues to be more of an art than a science. Types of frying include pan/griddle, deep-fat, and industrial/continuous frying. In all cases, the oil provides an effective medium for energy transfer from the heat source to the food. Proper frying practice as well as the most appropriate frying oil or shortening is generally determined by experience. Production of desirable characteristics in fried food depends on the heat capacity of the frying medium, thermal conductivity of the food, proper temperature differentials between the oil and food, dehydration on the surface of the food, and oil absorption and interaction with food components to develop the desired texture and flavor. In this chapter, heat transfer and mass transfer are discussed, along with mass changes during frying.

Mexico City, one of the largest metropolises in the world, is set to become the first city in Latin America to legalize gay marriage. The mega-city and its surrounding suburbs are home to roughly 20 million people, just under one-fifth of Mexico's population.
A few cities in Latin America already have same-sex civil unions, Mexico City among them, but the Mexican capital will be the first to legalize same-sex marriage. Not all of that staunchly Catholic part of the world is thrilled with the development.
Isn't the difference between a civil union and marriage just a name and maybe some tasteful decorations? Not so. Read below about what the change means to Mexico City's gays. —PZS
AP via Google:
The bill calls for changing the definition of marriage in the city's civil code. Marriage is currently defined as the union of a man and a woman. The new definition will be "the free uniting of two people."
The change would allow same-sex couples to adopt children, apply for bank loans together, inherit wealth and be included in the insurance policies of their spouse, rights they were denied under civil unions allowed in the city.

. . . inside the March–April issue of California Agriculture:
California's bustling international trade and tourism combined with its moderate climate and diversity of crops create opportunities for exotic pests to invade the state and take up residence. In this issue of California Agriculture, scientists from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, California Department of Food and Agriculture, and University of California report on the threats posed by imported plants and insects, and how these pests can be controlled.
A new sharpshooter threatens plants. An insect that has recently invaded California is creating serious problems for both agricultural and ornamental plants. The glassy-winged sharpshooter's greatest threat is its ability to spread the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, which induces Pierce's disease in grapevines, almond leaf scorch disease, and a new disease known as oleander leaf scorch. If oleander leaf scorch were to kill all the oleanders along the state's freeways, Caltrans would suffer a $52 million setback.
Because the glassy-winged sharpshooter feeds on a broader variety of plants than other insects that carry X. fastidiosa, UC scientists say other diseases caused by different strains of the bacterium may hurt even greater numbers of crops and ornamental plants.
Sticking it to starthistle. Yellow starthistle now infests 22% of the state, covering about 22 million acres. This fast-spreading weed replaces desirable vegetation. In natural settings, its prickly thorns can make hiking paths unpassable and its density can help carry wild fires. Within the agricultural community, yellow starthistle most severely affects ranchers. While young shoots can be grazed by cattle, the sharp spines of older starthistle plants deter cows from feeding. Yellow starthistle also can be toxic to horses that eat it.
To control the invasive weed, scientists are attacking it with a variety of methods — biological, chemical and mechanical.
USDA scientists have released overseas insects, including the peacock fly, to destroy yellow starthistle. The insect's larvae feed inside the seed head of starthistle, destroying its seeds. Serendipitously, another insect that looks like the peacock fly has been accidentally introduced and is significantly more widespread and more effective against yellow starthistle than the peacock fly — or any other biocontrol insect to date. The "false" peacock fly is the only one that attacks late-blooming yellow starthistle flowers.
Of the herbicides registered for use on California rangelands and wildlands, the majority are effective only when applied to the foliage so plants that emerge after the herbicide application escape injury. In a UC study, a newly registered herbicide, clopyralid, provided excellent control when sprayed on the leaves or applied to the soil to kill germinating seedlings.
Successful control of yellow starthistle by mowing depends on both proper timing and the plant's form of growth and branching. Scientists found that a single mowing at early flowering effectively controlled erect, high-branching populations of starthistle. They say that mowing as part of an integrated approach with herbicide treatment, prescribed burning or biological control should provide effective control of starthistle.
Medflies are going but not gone. The Mediterranean fruit fly—which attacks more than 250 types of fruits, nuts and vegetables—could devastate the state's agricultural industry if it became established here. The state releases sterile medflies at a weekly rate of 125,000 to 200,000 flies per week per square mile over a 2,155-square-mile area of urban Southern California to prevent medflies from reproducing. CDFA scientists report that this areawide approach reduced the annual number of infestations found from 1994 to 1998 in the treated area by 93.3%, compared to infestations detected between 1987 and 1993.
