Offseason training paying off for defending state champion Quaker Valley
Quaker Valley's hockey team took some time this summer to remember its achievements from last year.
The Quakers received their Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League championship rings in an August ceremony at the Edgewood Club — the same place the team went after beating Bayard Rustin, 4-1, in the state championship game in March.
The gold-and-black ring commemorates the team's 21-1-1 season, as well as its Penguins Cup victory over Mars at Consol Energy Center.
"It's pretty big — it's got a lot of writing on it, and it's really nice," senior forward Clayton Bouchard said. "That was a memorable day, for sure."
While the Quakers spent that one day looking back at a successful season, they spent the rest of the summer getting ready for what they hope will be a good follow-up.
"Most teams, (after) they have the ring, they take a year off," senior Ryan Dickson said. "We don't want to take a year off. We have to get better every time we're on the ice, every time we're together."
As in past years, the players went through small group lessons with coach Kevin Quinn and took part in the Quaker Valley hockey camp in August.
But one difference came in off-ice workouts, as for the first time players worked out in large groups with Quaker Valley trainer Derek Clark.
Clark put the players through strength workouts targeting both upper- and lower-body strength as well as conditioning through running.
"We hadn't done much off-ice (training) the last few years," coach Kevin Quinn said. "A few years we did it quite often, and I did it myself. But this particular way is beneficial because it's a different voice, and it was very successful."
The coach said it takes just a quick look to see the strength and conditioning workouts paid off.
"Physically, you just see this year how much bigger everyone is," he said. "We've been pretty young the past few years, even though (we were) very competitive. Size-wise, it's the first thing I noticed when we got to the first practice, (as well as) speed and the shots. We've instituted no hitting in practice simply because of the size of our team."
Quinn said the next step for the Quakers will be to take the improved size, speed and skills and mold them together into cohesive lines, defensive pairings and power-play units.
With that in mind, the team began on-ice practices for the coming season before Labor Day. The Quakers will play in the St. Margaret's Foundation Fall Faceoff preseason tournament in early October, with the regular season slated to begin Oct. 29.
"These are really extended tryouts to see how well kids work together," Quinn said of preseason tournaments. "We try them in different opportunities and different line combinations, different positions. But when you have something that's been working for a number of years — like Clayton and Ryan Dickson have played together since they were freshmen — that's probably not something that's going to change."
While the Quakers did lose some key contributors from their championship season in 2011-12, Bouchard has faith in the younger players, who he said have "a bunch of skill."
"They're going to be very important to our run, and I think they're up to it," Bouchard said. "They're really confident about themselves, and I think they're ready for the challenges."
Bouchard and Dickson think team chemistry will be a major strength, as well, thanks to the high level of participation in the offseason workouts — another change from previous years.
"It feels like midseason, to be honest," Dickson said. "Our practices aren't where we want them to be for midseason, but how everybody's acting around everybody — that feels like midseason."

Genetic diversity is an important measure for biodiversity in alpine plants
Intraspecific, genetic diversity is rarely used as a measure for biodiversity, although it may reflect the adaptive potential of species in changing environments. The international project IntraBioDiv examined whether intraspecific diversity coincides with other measures of biodiversity. Furthermore, it evaluated if protection measures for alpine plants may be improved if intraspecific diversity were considered.
Species richness is the most widely used measure for biodiversity assessment. However, it is intraspecific diversity (genetic polymorphism) that represents the evolutionary and adaptive potential of each species in changing environments. To evaluate how the different measures of biodiversity may serve as surrogates for each other, the IntraBioDiv consortium studied possible correlations between intraspecific diversity and species richness or habitat diversity.
Our objectives were:
We asked the following specific questions, using the Alps and the Carpathians as model systems:

Interesting blog, Anne. I am looking forward to feeding in the Working Families perspective in a couple of weeks.
Anne Sharp: Holding on or letting go? Learning to trust the homeworker
Wednesday 09 July 2014In our blog series on homeworking, Anne Sharp, Acas Chief Executive, talks about the rise of homeworking.
Anne Sharp
Anne Sharp has been the Acas Chief Executive since February 2013. Prior to joining Acas, Anne was the Chief Executive Officer of the Judicial Offices based in the Royal Courts of Justice.
Homeworking is on the rise.
The Office for National Statistics, estimates that 4.2 million people in the UK are homeworkers: just under 14 per cent of the working population, and the highest rate of homeworking since records began in 1998. Two thirds of homeworkers are self-employed, leaving 1.4 million homeworkers who are employees.
When the London School of Economics did a survey of the whole of Acas, 46% of respondents confirmed that they work from home on a regular basis. With 11% of Acas staff working as designated homeworkers, we clearly have a vested interest in making it work for us. But what would we say to an organisation that is considering introducing homeworking?
Although the research we commissioned only looks at the experience of our own staff and managers, it gives us a useful insight into some of the key issues (you can find a summary of the main findings in a policy paper we have just published).
We found that technology, communications and effective management were important elements of success. But while Acas managers rated well on trust, for many this can be an insurmountable problem in managing homeworkers.
Managers may feel more confident with their colleagues in sight. This isn't necessarily just about keeping an eye on people: it often reflects a commitment to coaching staff, sharing experience and building a team.
On the other hand, homeworkers may be perceived as falling short as team members, not prepared to muck in, at risk of becoming isolated and of failing to separate work and home life, so that either or both suffer.
Yet we know from research studies that homeworkers are often more engaged, productive and have a greater sense of job satisfaction than their office-based colleagues. There seems to be no evidence that concerns about trust are justified.
This sounds a bit like a tug of war between the merits of home and office working. However, our research and experience tell us that the question is more about achieving the right balance. In Acas, those with the highest job satisfaction are the flexible workers, who spend a significant amount of time in the office and the rest working at or from home.
The recipe for success depends on the situation: for some organisations, people and roles, homeworking works brilliantly. There's no single answer - but establishing clear expectations, regular communication and contact are always important and provide the basis for trust. And when things aren't going well, having the confidence and skills to handle honest conversations helps avoid problems escalating.
So, perhaps we should simply accept that home and flexible working are a welcome part of modern working life and instead debate whether our workplace relationships and line manager skills are at the level we need in managing these different arrangements.
As the Acas research suggests: "managers must be willing and able to relinquish traditional notions of how best to manage performance - usually based on direct supervision - and adopt new ways of motivating and monitoring their staff."

Anne's blog makes interesting reading, but in my opinion too much home working doesn't work. Too much presenteeism doesn't work either. During my career, I have worked at opposite ends of the spectrum and I believe that what works best is a hybrid approach which creates the best possible mix. Find out more about my views on the values and risks of homeworking in my blog next week.
Posted by Andrew Sutherland, Senior Research Officer, Acas | 11 July 2014, 2:20PM+ Reply to this comment
Hi Anne,
Your thoughts echo the research undertaken for us by the London School of Economics (LSE), who looked at effective management of homeworking by evaluating Acas' own practices as a case in point.
You are right to point out that balance is often the key to successful homeworking. The LSE research shows that it is those Acas colleagues who are able to mix home and office work who seem to fare best.
They are the ones who get to enjoy the upsides of homeworking (greater flexibility, fewer distractions, more autonomy over the working day etc.) as well as being protected from the big downsides of habitual homeworking: 'social' and 'professional' isolation.
The point you make here about managers feeling more confident with their colleagues in sight really merits restating: the literature is unequivocal that organisations have the best chance of managing homeworking successfully when managers trust employees and performance manage based on results. Happily, the LSE found that this tends to happen in Acas to a greater or lesser extent, partly because many of the jobs being done here are outcomes-based, which makes performance management at arms' length so much more practicable.
The all-to-common alternative can be managing people according to what's been called their 'passive face time'. It's something Daniel Cable, professor of organisation behaviour at London Business School, has written widely about and which I touched on in my recent policy paper. 'Passive face time' is simply the time one spends being seen in the workplace. Even when office-based and homeworking employees are equally productive, Cable's research suggests that managers evaluate them differently, making unconscious inferences about people's characters based simply on how much 'passive face time' they've racked up.
So office-based staff tend to be credited with being responsible, dedicated, committed and dependable – thanks purely to being seen at work, and without any information about what they've actually been doing. The corollary for the homeworker is clear: unless they have a manager who has been able, as you say, to break with a traditional, direct supervision-approach to managing performance, then their invisibility risks working against them. Proof positive that managing homeworkers does represent a special challenge for many managers but that comprehensive guidance can help to make it work for all parties.

Hi Anne,
A very incisive blog.
Homeworking and I seem to have become attached, by chance. Over the past three years in Acas, I've split my time between the office and home. Before that, my work in the private sector involved managing some homeworkers.
And early on in my working life, my then employer told me it was shutting the district office where I was based to cut overheads, but wanted to keep me on, working from home.
As it turned out, that proved very successful for me, although somewhat remote. In those days, I was living on my own 700 feet up a Cumbria hillside, where the business's nearest office was nearly 25 miles away and the head office almost 50 miles away.
The point I'm coming to is that through that fairly wide personal experience over nine years, I thought I knew more about homeworking than it turns out I actually did.
What became apparent to me in writing Acas guidance on homeworking is that there is a lot more to developing a policy, and to maintaining and managing successful employment relations when staff are home workers than might at first meet the eye. That detail really does matter, and I have been heartened to see the guidance described as comprehensive.
Employers and employees need to weigh up all factors in assessing whether or not homeworking is a sound and practical option. But where these are overlooked or not adequately thought through, picking up the pieces can be draining and time-consuming for both managers and the homeworker.
However, if carefully considered and planned, homeworking can benefit both employer and employee in the right circumstances.

Except go 60mph in less than a year. I almost traded my wrx in to buy one when it came out sight unseen. They asked if I wanted to drive it before I bought, I of coarse said yes. The car is beautiful, loud, and comfortable but I seriously think my girlfriend's stock cobalt LS is as fast of not faster.
I'm all about the 4 B's..... BEER, BOOBS, BOWS and BOOST.
This isn't a car you drive at wot though.. you really dont have to. I found the car to be very sneaky in how quickly its motivates. It really does feel rather slow, until you realize that you just ate up a section of 30mph turns at close to 70mph effortlessly and thought you were doing 45 not 70.
Yeah its slow from a dig to 60 compared to many other cars, but there are so many factors that outweigh just that variable.

SUKHOTHAI, Thailand - Royal Thai soldiers observed small-unit fire and maneuver training conducted by Republic of Korea and U.S. soldiers Feb. 15 at a training range in Ban Dan Lan Hoi District, Sukhothai province, Kingdom of Thailand, as part of exercise Cobra Gold 2013.
The purpose of the training is to improve interoperability between the multinational forces while perfecting weapons-systems skills and sharpening maneuver skills for the combined-arms live-fire exercise Feb. 21.
The Thai soldiers are with 7th Regiment, 7th Division, 3rd Region, Royal Thai Army. The ROK and U.S. soldiers are with 1st Platoon, Baker Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division out of Camp Casey, ROK. The ROK soldiers are attached to 2/9 as part of the Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army, also known as KATUSA.
While commitments in the Middle East are decreasing, efforts in the Asia-Pacific region are increasing, according to U.S. Army soldier 2nd Lt. Jake D. Bunch, an infantry officer with the 1st Platoon.
"Therefore, training in all types of terrains in a joint setting is crucial in sustaining the power of the multinational force."
While 1st Platoon is not the platoon participating in the CALFEX, they still can pass knowledge to their counterparts while honing weapons skills in the jungle terrain, he added.
The training began with ROK and U.S. soldiers performing rehearsals. Following the rehearsals, they began patrolling and surveying the area before the assault. All the while, Royal Thai soldiers analyzed the details of their counterparts' movements.
The soldiers patrolled at a moderate pace, creating a gap of approximately 15 feet from one another in the dense vegetation, according to Thai soldier 2nd Lt. Kittipong Wongyai, an infantry officer with the Royal Thai Army.
"As I observe the soldiers, I saw the importance of keeping proper dispersion when my unit is weaving in and out of thick terrain," said Wongyai.
At the end of their patrol, the service members designated points of attack for every fire team.
"During the preparation of the attack, stealth was the name of the game," said ROK soldier Pfc. Wooyong Kim, an infantryman with 1st Platoon. "The first bang during the barrage of fire downrange changed the name of the game—attack."
Service members maneuvered in teams, suppressing and eliminating the simulated enemy by employing several hundred rounds of ammunition between the M4 rifles, M249 squad automatic weapons, and M240B medium machine gun.
"This being the first time I've trained outside of the Republic of Korea. I am learning skills to ensure I can operate in this terrain and be more effective with my weapon," said Kim.
Observing the jungle training allows Royal Thai soldiers to effectively prepare for their participation in the CALFEX.
The Royal Thai soldiers will use what they observed today to improve their skills and have the opportunity to apply them Feb. 17, four days before the culminating live-fire exercise.
"Working closely with the U.S. and ROK soldiers, my unit has learned valuable skills that will improve our mission during the CALFEX and future exercises," concluded Wongyai.

Haruki Murakami's first collection of short stories in nine years hit store shelves in Japan on Friday with excited fans lining up for the midnight launch.
Around 70 fans took part in a Thursday night countdown ceremony at Kinokuniya bookstore in Tokyo's entertainment and shopping district of Shinjuku, where firecrackers were set off as the clock ticked to the witching hour.
The collection, titled "Onna no Inai Otokotachi" — which can be translated as "Men Without Women" — includes five short stories that have already been published separately in magazines and one new offering.
"Murakami is definitely best known for his (long) novels, but reading short stories is a different kind of pleasure," Yoichi Shindo, a web designer, said after buying a copy at the bookstore. "I have been waiting a long time to read his."
Publisher Bungei Shunju has already raised the first shipment of the book to 300,000 copies from 200,000 due to heavier-than-expected advance orders for the first compilation since 2005, local media said.
"It is so rare to see so many people gathering for one writer," said Yuka Sugimoto, another buyer. "I was looking forward to seeing this. It is a bit like a festival."
The collection is the first publication since Murakami's latest novel "Shikisai wo Motanai Tazaki Tsukuru to Kare no Junrei no Toshi" ("Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage") was released last April.
Among the short stories in the latest collection is a 24-page novella, "Drive my car — men without women," which sparked controversy when it first appeared because of a passage that offended Nakatonbetsu, a small town in Hokkaido, by suggesting its residents habitually throw lit cigarettes from car windows.
Murakami said subsequently he regretted using the name of the town. The name of the town is changed to a fictitious one in the book.

Use the electronic odometer trick to monitor battery voltage. I'm thinking you're having alternator problems and your voltage will drop from 14 to 12 when the AC is on. Low voltage can cause all sorts of issues with sensors, and might be causing your downshift.
To use this trick is easy: key off, press and hold the odo reset button. Turn key on, continue to hold button until the odometer reads [test], release. Now the odometer is in test mode, and will stay in test mode until you turn the key off. Each time you press and release the odo reset button, you'll scroll through one of 30 test functions. The one you're looking for reads like this [bat 12.1] or whatever your voltage should be. Voltmeter readings at the battery post will be about .2v higher than this reading. Now start the car and you should be able to monitor your alternator voltage once the car is running. It should be between 13 and 15v. Higher than 15, or lower than 13 means you have alternator problems.
I highly suggest that you find a local rebuilder in the yellow pages. Not many of us have had luck with parts store rebuilds. Local rebuilders typically use better quality and more expensive voltage regulators because they don't want the warranty returns. Parts chains don't care. They don't make money off individual customers- they make it off thousands sold. Local rebuilders are also cheaper, and some will only replace broken parts which can save you big bucks since the pulley on our alternators are $85. I paid $80 for my alternator to be rebuilt. At a parts store, a cheap rebuild was $165, lifetime warranty was $185, and I think a new Motorcraft is like $225ish. These places don't usually advertise online, or in paid ads in the YP, but they will be in the YP business section. Their bread and butter is local shops- who then turn around and charge the customer parts store price for the part.
LOL you gotta love/hate the auto business. Tote the note used car dealers are even worse- I swear.

Anesthesia For Surgical Abortions
Both first and second trimester surgical abortions can be performed with various types of anesthesia – local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation, and general anesthesia. At the Philadelphia Women's Center's abortion clinic in Pennsylvania, we offer local anesthesia and IV sedation. These methods can help to control pain and discomfort during the procedure – each has benefits and risks. Your medical team will help you decide which method is best for you. While either local anesthesia or IV sedation is appropriate for a first trimester procedure, our physicians feel that IV sedation is most appropriate for most second trimester abortions and do not offer local anesthesia after a certain point in your pregnancy.
Local Anesthesia
If your procedure is performed with local anesthesia you will be awake and conscious, and will be able to see, hear and feel what is happening during the abortion procedure. Because everyone is different, some women will describe the procedure as uncomfortable while others will say that it is painful. Additional oral pain medication is offered after the surgery to ease cramping and discomfort.
How it works: Your physician will inject an anesthetic called lidocaine into your cervix. Lidocaine works by blocking the nerve impulses that produce pain, numbing the area immediately surrounding the injection site. Lidocaine takes effect within a few seconds and usually lasts for 15-20 minutes. This medication will relax your cervix, but you will still experience cramping and discomfort during the procedure.
Benefits of local anesthesia: Choosing local anesthesia allows you to come to the clinic on your own. You will be able to drive or take public transportation without an escort to ensure your safety, however we always recommend bringing a support person with you if you can. Local anesthesia will also help you avoid some of the side effects and increased risks of IV sedation medicines. You also remain alert and in control during the entire procedure.
Risks and side effects: Although very rare, there is a medical risk of an allergic reaction (rash, swelling, or shock). It is important to tell us if you have ever experienced an allergic reaction to a local anesthetic before. Side effects may include dizziness, nausea, a metallic taste in your mouth, and cramping could become stronger as the anesthesia wears off.
Intravenous Sedation
If your procedure is performed under intravenous sedation, you will not see, hear or feel any part of the surgery, and you will not remember anything about the surgery afterwards. This type of anesthesia is administered through an IV. You will be either semi-conscious or completely asleep during the procedure, and may receive oxygen through a breathing mask. You may appear to be awake during the procedure, but will have little or no memory of the surgery. Immediate sedation and amnesia typically wear off 2-3 minutes following the procedure.
While this is a great method for women who wish to decrease pain, it is not appropriate for all women. The Center's medical staff will talk with you about your medical history to ensure that you are able to have IV sedation safely.
How it works: If you choose IV sedation, you will receive a combination of two or three medications. Fentanyl is a narcotic analgesic that provides pain relief and sedation; Versed is a benzodiazepine (central nervous system depressant) that provides sedation and amnesia; and Diprivan is a sedative hypnotic agent that produces sedation and sleep. Additional drugs may include Droperidol, Reglan, Brevital, Atropine, and others.
Benefits of IV sedation: The greatest benefit of IV sedation is that you will not see, hear, feel or remember the surgery. It is a good option if you are particularly nervous and do not have any respiratory illness or serious medical problems.
Risks and side effects: Although rare, there is a risk of allergic reaction which may range from a rash or swelling to shock. In addition, the following risks are: prolonged unconsciousness, which can result from different rates of drug metabolism; damage to mouth and teeth, airway or vocal cords, which can occur if you aspirate (vomit) and must be intubated (tube inserted in throat to help you breathe); cardiac arrest; respiratory paralysis; hypothermia; and very rarely, death. These are the most serious complications, and can result from severe allergic reactions, aspiration, certain preexisting medical conditions, inappropriate administration and maintenance of anesthesia or other rare, unpredictable variables. Side effects include grogginess, sleepiness, nausea and vomiting, itchy skin, hyperemotionality (waking up crying or laughing), and cramping may appear to become stronger as the anesthesia effects wear off. Please be assured that licensed professionals who are specially trained in the administration of anesthesia will be taking care of you.
Restrictions: If you choose IV sedation, you cannot eat, drink, chew or smoke after midnight the night before your procedure. Heavy and greasy food should be avoided. Most women can eat a normal meal within 4-5 hours after the surgery. You must have someone to escort you home, and you may not drive or operate heavy machinery for 24 hours. In addition, you cannot have responsibility for children or dependents for the remainder of the day, so be sure to arrange for all childcare needs ahead of time.

I'm not understanding how it is simpler to keep up with how many times all rounds have been chambered from the mag, simpler to rotate rounds, and simpler to watch for bullet reset than not having to bother with any of that at all by simply directly loading the chamber in guns that allow it.
And, actually there are problems with loading from the mag. Why would Sig not honor their own warranty if they discover a round has been chambered more than once from the mag?
I always chambered from the mag until I noticed two rounds with setback in my M&P mag. That's what got me noticing the whole setback problem.

An Elk County woman kept herself busy at the St. Marys Wal-Mart for about a week.
46-year-old Suzanne Catalone of St. Marys is accused of shoplifting from the store from February 19 through this past Monday. All the thefts happened between about 12:30 a.m. and 4:45 a.m.
She's charged with eight counts of retail theft and police say more charges are pending. She apparently took Saturday off because police did not have a report of a theft for that day.

Monday's Musings: Master Data Management - Do Styles of MDM Matter Anymore?
Posted by Ray Wang on February 2, 2009
- 360 Recommendations
- 3 comments
Three Architectural Styles Represent Different Technologies To Build MDM
In 2003, customer data hub (CDI), product information management,
and master data management (MDM) vendors strived to differentiate
themselves by architectural style. Each approach had its advantages
and disadvantages. A religion about styles emerged overnight along
with a hard core following. Here's a quick recap (see Figure 1):
Figure 1. The Three Architectural Styles of Master Data Management
The bottom line - choose a style that aligns with your project's business driver
While these approaches still exist, leading vendors such as D&B
Purisma, IBM, Initiate Systems, Oracle, Oracle-Siebel, SAS DataFlux,
and Siperian now have offerings in more than one style. This may make
the question seem less relevant, however, its still important to
understand the trade-offs while beginning your MDM journey. In fact, it's best to align the style and approach based on your business driver. Here's a high level summary:
- Cross-referenced registry delivers rapid results for operational efficiency business drivers.
This approach is best suited for rapid implementation scenarios such as
POC's that prove the value of master data. Also valuable when data can
not be stored on-site.
Pro's: Rapid implementation without having to agree on a common enterprise data model. Utilize existing source systems.
Con's: Deduplication of source systems not addressed. Data quality must be solved in each independent source system.
- Hybrid harmonized reference enables compliance and regulatory business drivers. This
approach allows the best of both worlds, especially when moving to a
transactional operational data store is not politically feasible and
data governance and stewardship activities are just starting up.
Pro's: Single master copy of reference data. Uses links to
access source system records. Model allows data quality efforts to be
applied to shared master reference data.
Con's: Synchronization with source systems can create some complexity if changes are not made in the hub.
- Transactional operational data store supports strategic business drivers. This approach provides a long term path for how legacy applications utilize data.
Pro's: Single master copy of data. No fussing with latency or synchronization issues. Minimal mapping issues.
Con's: Requires an agreed upon common enterprise data model to
be used by all applications. History must be harmonized and requires
extensive key mapping. Assumes homogeneity and requires tons of ETL
and dedupe.

Ray. I just received your tweet about what is hot in my space. MDM is the hot topic. I am curious to know what SaaS vendors such as Salesforce.com are doing about MDM? Which approach are they utilizing. I would guess the Hybrid Harmonized Reference. Please advise.
re: Monday's Musings: Master Data Management - Do Styles of MDM
Comment from Cliff Longman (not verified) on Wed, 02/04/2009 - 13:02
Ray,I find the summary that you give difficult to swallow.You indicate the business driver that each architectural style supports. The implication of your piece (to me, anyway) is that someone with a particular business driver will conclude that they need the corresponding architctural style indicated in your summary. I think this is misleading, because all architectures have SOME benefit for each of the business drivers.I would also expect that the hybrid would (as you said - being the best of both worlds) be able to support the business drivers of the other two styles.As usual, with any "enterprise scale" ambition, there is bound to be a requirement for a number of different approaches all provided by a single implementation technology, so I would argue that the deployment style should be SWITCHABLE on a category by category basis. It may be sensible to switch styles over time as business drivers change, and as implementations become more mature.Cliff
re: Monday's Musings: Master Data Management - Do Styles of MDM
Comment from Ray Wang on Wed, 02/04/2009 - 13:09
Cliff,You make a very good point. The summary of the styles and the business drivers provides a guide for many situations but not all situations. We fully expect customers to evolve in their usage and choice of styles. In fact, this will be more interesting as new deployment models pop up with SaaS and OnDemand.Once again, thank you for pointing this out!Ray

So the other day I was out cruising with my friends and sighted a RSX type S, debadged with the aero kit. My friends wanted me to see if hed run, but he turned off at the next street and I had missed my chance.
Well, last night...I saw the same guy but I was alone. I knew he saw me, because he revved as I slowly drove by. It was on =). I ended up behind him and a truck just waiting for him to hit it. The truck turned and I heard him downshift and drop it hard. I shifted to second at 20 and gave it throttle to get boost up then floored it as I felt the kick. By then he was about 4 cars ahead but I quickly reeled him in. I was about half a length back but decided against passing as it was a public road. I stayed on him up to about 85 then dropped back and threw him the brights hoping hed slow down too and not risk anything.
He ended up keeping on going and I was like whatev, I proved my point.
Also had another race the night before last with a newer harley. Not sure what kind as theres so many out there and I can't tell one from another, but it wasn't impressively fast.
First run was from a stop. He launched first as I slipped the clutch and immediately started pulling him. A bus length ahead I slowed down and let him catch up. Thats when I heard his motor still roaring and dropped it to second. I waited for him to hit about a car length back then hit it at about 35 in 2nd and proceeded to not even let him pass me. Another hurting put on a bike. Im now 3/3 against bikes...but never any real ones ><

Cosmelan Worked for Me - Florida
I am 41 years old and have had mild melasma for about 10 years, which worsened after my daughter was born four years ago. I researched and came across the Cosmelan treatment option. I found it on Ebay from a reputable supplier and administered it at home. Since I am fair skinned, I left the Cosmelan 1 on for 8 hours. I did not realize that you do not have to use the whole jar so I caked it... READ MORE

USOC backs gay rights but won't lead charge for change
By Steve Keating
PARK CITY, Utah (Reuters) - U.S. Olympic officials said on Tuesday they support amending the Olympic Charter to boost support for gay athletes but cautioned that its main role is as a sports body and not a human rights organization.
A Russian law that forbids the dissemination of information on homosexuality to minors has been the hot topic at this week's United States Olympic Committee media summit with nearly all the 113 athletes in attendance asked for their thoughts.
But on Tuesday, about four months from the start of the Sochi Winter Games in Russia, it was USOC Chief Executive Scott Blackmun and chairman Larry Probst's turn in the hot seat.
"First and foremost we are a sport's organization, we're the only organization in the world whose job it is to make sure American athletes get a chance to compete in the Olympic Games," Blackmun told reporters. "We are not an advocacy organization or a human rights organization.
"We are a part of a worldwide Olympic movement and I think what we can do is advocate for change within our movement."
The USOC made it clear it will not be taking a lead in any effort to force change in Russia or organize protests but will work quietly behind the scenes and would support an amendment to the Olympic Charter to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation.
"Anything we can do with the international Olympic movement, within the U.S. Olympic movement, we want to do to make sure people understand that we want all of our athletes to feel comfortable being part of the U.S. team," said Blackmun.
"We want to lead by example and we also want to advocate internally, within the global Olympic movement, to make sure we as family are doing everything we can to send the message we do not tolerate discrimination." Continued...

solid staining a deck
My deck was solid stain about 6 years ago, The people that did was in a hurry and did a lousy job.
Now it is starting to peel. Should I just pressure wash it, then kilz it then put the solid stain on it? Do I need to stain the bottom of it also?
6 years for a deck coating would be considered excellent out my way
The best way to re-coat it now would be to powerwash it, scrape off any loosely adhering stain, feather sand out the scraped areas, wipe/blow off the dust, then solid stain it again
Primer would only be needed in very specific circumstances
Unless there is something you are not telling us, you shouldn't need it
If you did need it you should not use Kilz, but rather something rated for foot traffic (deck stain specific)
You could seal the bottom if you want too, but at this point it's just an option or personal preference
you mean I don't have to stain every board I mean on the bottm side?
Not unless you want to
Usually I don't stain the under side of any deck unless the customer wants it. Its a personal preference thing. It doesn't hurt anything if you don't. :thumbsup:

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jun 24, 2013.
I'm pretty sure Cheeks was clueless. I read it here many a times.
Don't forget, Dumars dictated all those clueless moves to Cheeks.
Wasn't Cheeks the guy who viewed Kyle Singler as the 2nd coming of Elgin Baylor and handed him playing time accordingly? ...Seriously lee. Of all the hypothetical coaching candidatees in the universe, you're gonna roll with "we should have kept Cheeks"? Dude, I thought you were a visionary.
Lee wasn't a big fan of Cheeks while he was here:
I Love Lee! One Lee post creates so much discussion and activity! Truly a God Send prom Piston Heaven....aka Flint.
He does love to troll the forum...and it works. Good for him.
I enjoy having lee here. He adds a lot to this place. He has a lot to say/share. This place would suck if everone agreed on everything.
disagreed....... thats what you want right?
I agree. A lot of times a forum responds to trolling and it gets a lot of activity going. There's no rule against it that I know of.
I love and appreciate Lee very much even though over the years we have ended up on opposite sides of pretty much everything. He adds a lot to the forum.
Lee is actually one of the main reasons I migrated from the old DetNews forums to here.
I don't know who Lee is, since I pay no attention to who said or asked what.
I agree. Who are all these fans who cant wait to get rid of him? Can't equate not thinking he deserves a max contract with wanting to get rid of him. Last I checked, no other teams wanted to give him a max contract either.
linwood just earned himself a post of the week nomination!
I agree.
Andre Drummond is in action on ESPN right now in the USA Basketball Showcase. Only watched a couple minutes so far, but Andre has fumbled a couple of balls on the offensive end and grabbed a couple of rebounds on the defensive side.
I was watching this. I would totally suggest NOT watching the Paul George injury that happened in this game. I'm trying to un-see that thing and it's not working. I like that kid and I wish him the best. ...man.
Ouch. Breaks are better than tears lots of times. Let's hope it's a simple break that will be possible to fully recover from. Probably out until march at best I'd imagine.
Separate names with a comma.

I'm reeeeeeeeeally hoping to print a book which includes Rapunzel (preview here: leficia.deviantart.com/art/Rap… ) and The Piper (preview here: leficia.deviantart.com/art/Pip… ) and Sheherezade, and Six Swans, which is my newest story, and only available if you purchase this book.
I've signed up with pozible.com, which is like kickstarter, except for australians, which means that if I don't get enough money pledged (from pre-orders) nobody has to pay anything, which is good because no-one's out of pocket.
If you're interested in my fairy tales, I would honestly deeply appreciate if you could put a few dollars towards this.

There are mammograms to screen for breast cancer, colonoscopies for colon cancer, and PSA tests for cancer of the prostate. But until now, there's been no screening tool for the leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
"In Vermont there are 500 new cases of lung cancer each year and there are about 390 deaths from lung cancer each year," said Dr. Gerald Davis, a pulmonary specialist at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.
Those who smoke or used to smoke are at highest risk of lung cancer, but by the time their cancer typically produces symptoms and can be seen on X-ray, it's usually at an advanced stage and ultimately, lethal.
But a long-term study published in 2011 showed that annual low-dose CAT scans for those at highest risk could detect very early lung cancers while they're still treatable, early cancers not visible on an X-ray.
"In the group that got the low-dose CAT scans there was a 20-percent reduction in death from lung cancer over the screening period, which was for three years, and then followed up for another four years," Davis said.
So in the last days of 2013, after two years of analysis, the United States Preventive Services Task Force issued the first ever guidelines for those high-risk people: those aged 55 to 80 who are current or former smokers, who've smoked at least 30 pack-years-- meaning a pack a day for 30 years, or two packs for 15. The group now suggests a low-dose CAT scan once a year.
"Previously there's been really no way showed any possible effect to screen people for lung cancer in a way that detects the cancer early on so that it makes a difference in terms of their outcome," Davis said.
Davis says experts estimate 15,000-20,000 Vermonters fit that high-risk, age 55 to 80, heavy-smoker criteria. He believes the new screening recommendations-- if followed-- could save 20-50 of them each year.
It's important to note that lung cancer does occur in some people who have never smoked and there is still no screening to detect those cancers early on.

Hello Alasdair,Thank you and it solved the pbm. I have another question that again may sound really trivial. I am fairly new to Makefiles and Linux. Does the make install of LVM2 build the "example_cmdlib.c" program. If yes where does it put the executable, if no how do I compile that program.

About 3 weeks ago my 2005 1.8t started intermittently misfiring. Which can be induced by coming to stops (more frequently when pointed downhill than uphill). I pulled the codes and it read multiple misfires on 1 and 2. Always when idling never at acceleration. Nor is there any power loss during acceleration. If idling and it starts misfiring I can rev it up to 3000 and it usually clears and runs smoothly. I have tried many things, all having no effect.
First: I replaced the coils with new ones and installed new spark plugs (NGK-correctly gapped). Also added new air filter, and ran Techron in last 2 tanks of 91 octane.
Second: replaced Mass Air Flow with a new one -- still no change
Third: smoke test on vacuum, no leaks. Went ahead and replaced check valve and purge pump
Fourth: replaced O2 sensors and coolant temp. sensor -- still no change (oddly they were white but I'm having lots of black soot at the tailpipe)
Fifth: compression test on 1 & 2 (revealed 180)
Any suggestions!?!? This is driving me nuts

The Breakaway Cook by Eric Gower explores global ingredients with recipes like Umeboshi Scallops, Galangal-lnfused Dungeness Crab with Baby Greens, and Breakaway Kofta.
Serves 4
The sweet richness of scallops cries out for the tart fruitiness that umeboshi (pickled plums) deliver. It's good to marinate the scallops for a few hours in the marinade, but as little as thirty minutes will still give fantastic results. Don't try this with tiny bay scallops—they emit too much moisture. Use large, meaty, sashimi-grade scallops. The lentil topping crisps up beautifully. An earthy, full-bodied sake is a nice accompaniment, but a glass of very cold Champagne fits the bill quite nicely, too.
Rinse and dry the scallops and place in a bowl. Pat the pickled plums, olive oil, orange juice, and egg into a blender and puree. Pour the puree over the scallops and place in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the scallops from the bowl, wipe off most of the marinade from each one with your finger, and place on a clean cutting board. Salt and pepper them, then sprinkle on the lentil powder, pressing it in with your fingers to make sure it adheres evenly.
Melt the butter with the olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat—get the fat very hot but not burning. Then add the scallops and cook until one side gets slightly browned and crisped, about 2 minutes. Turn them over, one by one, and cook on the other side for another 2 minutes. Transfer them to warm serving plates, top with the chives, and fleck in a few pieces of the reserved pickled plums.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX barely lower as banks fall, oil stocks rise
(Adds details from early trade, updates prices)
* TSX down 14.07 points, or 0.1 percent, to 13,979.81
* Six of the TSX's 10 main groups slip
TORONTO, June 14 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Tuesday as financial stocks pulled back ahead of Britain's vote on whether to leave the European Union, but shares of energy companies rebounded despite oil prices continuing to slip.
The heavyweight financials group slipped 0.5 percent as worries about a potential British exit saw investors push yields on German government debt into below zero for the first time.
Opinion polls show growing support for Britain to leave the EU, which investors worry could tip the bloc into recession.
Royal Bank of Canada fell 1 percent to C$77.74, Toronto-Dominion Bank declined 0.5 percent to C$56.26, and Bank of Nova Scotia lost 0.5 percent to C$64.66.
The move lower was offset by energy stocks, which climbed 0.5 percent overall after sharp declines in recent days.
At 10:08 a.m. EDT (1408 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 14.07 points, or 0.1 percent, to 13,979.81. Continued...

Oh! Wow. Taking the box off really did make a huge difference. (And I'd've never figured that out. Thanks to those who did!) I kinda liked it before; this one, I can vote for.
DavidShenoda wrote:Even the most avid art teachers and students don't agree on one SPECIFIC definition for what qualifies as deco art. There are only general, very loose, trends that we as humans try to categorize, after the fact, into nice little packages that we can digest and give to others.
While that may be true, art deco does have a specific style and certain elements. So while there is a lot that is up to interpretation with any art movement, there are also specifics that make up the movement itself.
That being said, I do like the design of this piece whether it is actually art deco or not. And if it does get rejected (which I doubt it will because there are a lot of entrees that basically don't have any art deco elements), then I hope you can find another place that will print it.
Re: Get on the Mike
Is this a some dude's uncle tracy reference, becasue I never read the comic? I get that vibe from it.

This shirt is the bomb.

awesome. classic. This better win... *angry face*
Re: Bowl Deco
I really like this design - but I was kind of hoping that it would be on the top of the shirt instead of in the center.
Hope you get your Photoshop/Illustrator tips! Wish I was cool enough to have some for you!
Re: Abstract Art Deco
I like this, even though it is more noveau-ish, but who cares. The fact that woot expects to be able to establish/enforce stylistic restrictions on an entire era of art. I think as long as you're not directly copying any images or icons that you're ok.

When I saw the derby subject I too had Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged on my mind. Love the design. GMV!

I like this version, though the dark reddish-brown could use more contrast from the t-shirt color. I could barely tell there's an edge to the toast.

I think that was the point of this design. He is making a play on the Gothem reference in Woot's description this week. A Gothem-esque skyline and reflection on the water to look like a Batman signal. Very clever. Not sure if Woot will reject it or not, but this design has my vote.
I will buy this shirt
Re: I Dream of Gears
Beautiful illustration...the birds are great; I really like mechanical birds for some reason. And, maybe it's a matter of preference, or I don't know what I'm talking about, but her nose bothers me - it looks too hard - too many lines, like that L shape that the lines make, and it doesn't seem to fit with the smooth lines in the eyes and lips. Even so, this is really awesome.
Re: Decobot Discovers Love
The colors are very attractive, and so is the design. I keep coming back to look at it. Great work!
Not sure about that planetty orb up there though.

Yeah, the original Batman was set in the '20s and '30s, smack dab in the middle of the Art Deco period. That, and the fact that Gotham city was almost directly modeled after New York, which at the time had a predominantly Art Deco skyline. That style influenced most of the artwork for the comic and subsequent shows/movies what have you... I guess you need to know your history a little for this to make sense, but thanks for the support!
Re: Construct
I keep thinking iron man when I look at this design. Personally, I like this style of yours. I much more prefer this type of shirt to the bulk of your entries. And I know that if it works, you should keep doing it, but I would like to see woot move away from the uber cute stuff we've all become accustomed to.

What was my circus entry a regurgitation of? Sun Wukong? Sea Cats? Stuck Inside? Art Season? Nanonauts? Suburban Blitzkrieg? Watch it Grow? El Prospector Cantante? Mine!? I could literally list a hundred entries that look nothing like another one. Are you even paying attention? I probably have the most diverse range of entries and printed shirts of anyone here. Once in a while I decide to a shirt with these little guys and everyone's up in arms. There's many other people here that really do do the same type of thing every week and you pick one of the people that does it the least. Thanks for trying though.

Food labels generally tell you what's in the package, not what will be in the food after cooking. Here's a dramatic example of what that can mean for the home cook.Soba noodle labels list as much as 900mg sodium per serving—which has limited our use of it. But when we boiled five brands of soba, they lost an average of 80% of their sodium, down to about 80mg per serving. The FDA only requires labels to list the nutritional properties of foods as packaged. Food makers may voluntarily present "as prepared" information, but that's an extra step, and calculation, for them. Most foods used in cooking are rarely consumed as packaged—like soba noodles.
Bottom line: Always consider the ingredients added and methods used in preparing foods.
It's everywhere. And we're supposed to eat less of it. By: Sidney Fry, MS, RD
