Jules Stein
Eye Institute
from the Director
of Trustees
and Doris Stein UCLA Support Group
& Future
Department of Ophthalmology Association
Jules Stein, Chairman of the Board of MCA Inc., for whom the Eye Institute
is named
Jules Stein is the foremost benefactor in the world history of
vision science and blindness prevention. He combined his love for
music and medicine with a unique talent for analysis and organization
to produce a lifetime of celebrated achievements as musician, physician,
business leader and humanitarian.
Born in South Bend, Indiana, in 1896, Jules Stein received a PhB
from the University of Chicago at age 18 followed by an MD degree
from Rush Medical College. After completing postgraduate studies
at the University of Vienna and Chicago, Cook County Hospital, he
began medical practice and was certified by the American Board of
A musician from an early age, he financed his education by playing
in and leading his own band. As his reputation increased, he began
booking other musicians for professional engagements, and in 1924
founded Music Corporation of America (MCA). Shortly thereafter,
he gave up the practice of medicine to concentrate on this enterprise.
Within 10 years MCA represented most of the great name bands and
corporate activities began to extend to representation of film stars,
directors, writers and musical artists. MCA entered the promising
new field of television at its inception, eventually acquiring the
Universal City property, Universal Pictures and other enterprises
to become pre-eminent in the entertainment industry.
Throughout his phenomenally successful career, Jules Stein maintained
a strong interest and emotional investment in medicine, particularly
his own field of ophthalmology. In the late 1950s, urged by his
wife, Doris, he chose to direct his considerable talents to blindness
prevention. The result was a concert of ideas and achievements that
encompassed philanthropy, government and academic medicine.
Groundbreaking festivities on Sept. 22, 1964, were celebrated
by (left to right, front row) Bette Davis, Jules Stein, Gene
Kelly, (back row) Cesar Romero, Bob Hope, and architect Rodney
By his efforts, Research to Prevent Blindness was created, now
recognized as the world's leading voluntary organization in support
of studies of the eye and its diseases. Jules Stein was largely
responsible for the passage of legislation to establish the National
Eye Institute as a separate entity in the National Institutes of
Health. Under his leadership the Jules Stein Eye Institute was founded
as a multidisciplinary center for vision science. Since its establishment,
the Institute has become internationally identified as the focus
for coordinated programs of research in the sciences related to
vision, ophthalmic education, and the care of patients with eye
Jules Stein died in 1981, leaving a legacy of hope to the world.
Through his accomplishments and philanthropy, he created ever-replenishing
resources, for eye research and the means to preserve and restore
sight for future generations.

Easy Breezy Sling
How easy it is to take your pet with you when she is in the "easy breezy sling".
I own 2 & love them. My Maltipoo gets so excited as soon as I put the sling on because she knows we are going out.. It light weight, perfect for the warm weather . Easy to wash in the machine.... No ironing & wears well. You & the pet are comfy. My pet peeks out while my both hands are free to shop, walk, etc. I always received so many inquires on this carrier because my pet & I look very comfy together.
I own 3 of these!! Need I say more? I even use it for shopping and taking walks for my water bottles, keys, etc!!
Great sling for my Yorkie! It is made of very soft mesh, easily packable and stays cool in our very hot weather in Texas. I purchased the long size since I am 5'-9 and it is the right length. My Yorkie is 6 months, about 5 pounds and he fits perfectly in it. Great product and I highly recommend it.
Everyone asks me where I got this and I tell them GW little! It is super portable and comfortable for both owner and pet!
No way a dog, no matter how small (mine is 4 pounds) is going to stay in this item. There is no support at all. Returned mine.
This is so handy and best comfort for hot weather. I have both sizes for versatile use. To Prissy's mom if you get the smaller size your pup will sit/fit higher up on your body. Could be adjusted if you with to sew the shoulder up a wider seam. I like to have both ....by the way these slings are great for carrying water bottles and more when not using for pet!! I do think the price is high but the use it gives is more valuable.
I really like this sling for summer and the pocket for my yorkie Daisy was deep I love that about it. The only thing I do not like is there is no tie in inside of the sling which I had to take care of myself. I was really surprised it was not added to start with.
Our little Chihuahua was not sitting in other carry bags and choking herself on the edges. We got the Sling and she loves being carried in it. We did put a little blanket in the bottom so she could lay down. But she can look over the edge with no problem or snuggle in and take a nap if she wants. It is comfortable to wear with her in it.
I like the sling, but the cost is high for what you get.
This swing carrier is wonderful, especially for the hot weather in Florida. It takes no room to bring on outings and comfortable. I prefer smaller size for positioning my 6 lb. yorkie. I purchased one in each size. Sometimes bulky coats can alter the fitting. They are my go to item.
I do like it and it serves a purpose. However, I would like it better if it had some support on the bottom; I feel like I still have to hold her, to give her support. Also I think it would be better it hung a little higher, just like I was carrying her. It hangs around my hip, so a little hard to maneuver.
I purchased the carrier for our small papillion mix. She like to be held when we are not at home, and this is perfect. She is nice and snuggly, feeling very safe. Takes away any strain in holding for longer periods. I highly recommend this. This is a caring company and helped with questions. I purchased the large after measuring but when your little dog is inside, it does come down a bit and was lower than I wanted. Exchanging with them was easy and wonderful. They are terrific. All around,I recommend and give a 5 star rating!!!! Don't hesitate, you will LOVE it!
I give this a 3 because while it's very handy, it's made of an athletic perforated jersey material.
I love the sling. It is so easy to travel with and easy to slip on anytime I need to carry my toy poodle around. My toy is still a baby but there is plenty of room for her when she is full grown at approx 6 lbs.

Gator Growl Lineup Announced
Gainesville, FL -- They've been dropping hints all week, but the secret's out! The Producers for UF's Gator Growl have released the names of this year's talent -- the musical performers at Gator Growl 2014 will be Ludacris and Foster the People. The event will be hosted by Comedian Brooks Wheelan.
In recent years attendance to the event has been declining - leaving some wondering if the show is for students or alumni. According to the event's Executive Producer, Devin McDaniel, "we surveyed students, we asked them who they wanted to see, we had a whiteboard out and at preview and we just asked people, who would you want to see at Gator Growl if you were choosing?"
The venue will also be changing this year, from the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to Flavet Field. McDaniel said this will allow for a more interactive and intimate show.
In recent years attendance to Gator Growl has been dwindling - in 1998 ticket sales were at 75,000. Last year only 15,000 were sold - leaving tens of thousands of empty seats at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium - which seats about 90,000.

do anyone offer these and if so how much?

i heard these are suppose to me alot lighter and better over all
do anyone offer these and if so how much?

i heard these are suppose to me alot lighter and better over all
dont know of anyone offering these but you could buy the mil spec wire and restring your harness.
not sure the weight savings will out weight the time and money invested.
thanks, i found a guy now that does it for carsa= and he might be interested in doing them for bikes. im just waiting to hear back from him.. as for me doing it i could never take that challenge on lol
i guess the upside would be to eliminate all unnecessary wires and circuits not needed as for a full drag bike and even a total loss system. i quess it wout be worth the investment
get with rodney williford, he strips them down to the bare bones. im not sure of the weight savings but it damn sure made a nice clean install.
jeff 843-568-1903
A mil-spec harness on a bike wouldn't be much of a savings over a cut down harness. It would make for a clean install for sure, but I don't see it being worth the money. You're talking prolly at least $800 for a bike wiring harness. They are much more durable though, so wiring issues could pretty much be eliminated before they even began.
I have tossed this around many times. Sure would be cool, but I don't think it would be feasible. Although, if I ever go to a standalone, I will probably build a custom mil-spec harness just for shits and giggles.
2006 GSXR 1000 - Popskull
Stock motor, stock head, stock exhaust- Low, long, & drinking moonshine.
BIG MONEY....you wouldn;t even be able to buy the connectors, backshells, seals, adn terminals for $800, let alone the cost of the wire, DR25 heatshrink, etc.
It also likely wouldn't be any lighter as the connectors will be metal bodies rather than plastic.
You coudl re-wire with TXL crosslinked wire and be a little lighter.
You are really starting to pinch weight when you are looking at spending money to reduce the weight of a wiring harness. Probably not worth the money.
TXL wire isn't all that expensive and is still essentially an automotive grade wire. The overall expenses start growing if you use tefzel or other high end wire, get the correct strippers, crimpers, solder, potting compounds,shrink coverings, covering joints, etc.
The amount of labor involved in making a truly custom, one off harness is ridiculous (build one from scratch, including layout and a schematic and you will see what I mean)
I believe Seb used to charge $2500 or so for a custom harness and some folks about crapped their pants at that price. Add up the costs of a true professional custom harness and that's likely where you'll be. Make it true higher end milspec, with certs and it won't stop there (not saying you would ever require certs on a bike, just saying...don't plan on flying your bike and using the harness on flight critical components)
Not mil-spec, but OEM spec:
I wired pro mods and import turbo cars at a chassis shop for around 4 years and just the tool to crimp the terminal pins to the wires for a mil spec connector was $350(you cannot solder them so you must use the correct crimper). mil spec stuff isnt cheap and for the weight savings you would be better off just cutting open the factory harness and removing whatever you dont need.

all feed back is great, yea its pricey. i seen where ppl been finding bad voltage during dyno runs, im guessing these stuff and eliminate stuff like that and yes weight diff might not add up, all in all its just to say you have one at the end the day i guess lol. but i will still check and seehow much this guy is willing to do them for and post it. see if anyone is interested with me.

its just a lil honda but im doing a custom harness for it, integrating bazzaz zfi into the factory harness which will clean it up a lot
had a factory busa harness and stripped it down to the bare minimum of what I needed, lots of hours of work and corresponding labour charges resulted in about 8lbs loss. I'm very happy with how it turned out, not sure if the person who did it is a sponsor (know he's not,ha) but am very happy with Justin's work.

The 44th President of the United States of America bowed deeply, reverentially, before King Abdullah bin Abdul Azziz, Keeper of the Two Holy Mosques, the absolute monarch of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia…
…In his first days in office, the new president expelled from the White House a bronze bust of Winston Churchill, lent to the United States by the former Prime Minister Tony Blair…Curtly, Obama staffers told them there was no room in the White House's 55,000 square feet for it…
…And what would a new president – veteran of less than four years in the Senate (most of which were spent campaigning for higher office) – give Elizabeth II, queen for over a half-century of the United Kingdom and what are now fifteen sovereign states? Why, an IPod loaded with recordings of some of Obama's favorite speaches…by Obama, of course.
It was different – very different – with Abdullah

Oscar Ichazo
Oscar Ichazo (born July 24, 1931) is the Bolivian-born founder of the Arica School, which he established in 1968.
Ichazo's Enneagram of Personality theories are part of a larger body of teaching that he terms Protoanalysis. In Ichazo's teachings the enneagram figure has usually been called an enneagon.[citation needed]
In an interview, Ichazo said that in 1954 he achieved insight into mechanistic and repetitive thought and behavior patterns. These processes can be understood in connection with the enneagram figure, classical philosophy and what he calls "Trialectic" logic grounded in three laws of process.[1]
Ichazo says that he identified the nine ways in which a person's ego becomes fixated within the psyche at an early stage of life. For each person one of these "ego fixations" then becomes the core of a self-image around which their psychological personality develops. Each fixation is also supported at the emotional level by a particular "passion" or "vice". The principal psychological connections between the nine ego fixations can be "mapped" using the points, lines, and circle of the enneagram figure.[2]
Ichazo's teachings are designed to help people transcend their identification with — and the suffering caused by — their own mechanistic thought and behavior patterns (see Fourth Way). His theories about the fixations are founded on the premise that all life seeks to continue and perpetuate itself and that the human psyche must follow universal laws of reality. Using Trialectic logic, Ichazo indicated the three basic human instincts for survival: "conservation" (the digestive system); "relation" (the circulatory system) and "adaptation" (the central nervous system); and two poles of attraction to self-perpetuation: "sexual" (the sexual organs) and "spiritual" (the spinal column).[citation needed]
Ichazo understands the fixations as aberrations from an essential state of unity. The primary difference between modern psychology and his theories is that he has proposed a model of the components of the human psyche, but modern psychology has preferred to focus on observed behavior instead of an essential model from which aberrations develop.[citation needed]
According to Ichazo, a person's fixation derives from childhood subjective experience (self-perception) of psychological trauma when expectations are not met in each of the instincts. Young children are self-centered and thus experience disappointment in their expectations because of one of three fundamental attitudes: attracted, unattracted, disinterested. From such experiences, mechanistic thought and behavior patterns arise as an attempted defense against recurrence of the trauma. By understanding the fixations — and practicing self-observation — it is believed that a person can reduce or even transcend suffering and the fixations' hold on the mind.
Although some modern Enneagram of Personality writers have believed that Ichazo's teaching are derived, in part, from those of Gurdjieff's Fourth Way work,[3] Ichazo denied this in his "Letter to the Transpersonal Community".[4] In 1992 intellectual copyright for the Enneagram of Personality was denied to Ichazo on the basis that he had published statements that his theories were factual and factual ideas cannot be copyrighted.[5]

Hey guys, I just bought a 2012 Silverado Crew Cab. I want to put a double-din dvd/radio head unit in. I have asked a couple of different people about the aftermarket wire harness and one person said I need it and the other person said I don't. So my question is, Do I need it or not?
Thanks, Chris!

A Latin American Pope
The election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires, as Pope certainly made history.
Pope Francis, as he will be known, is the first Latin American and the first Jesuit to become Pope. His choice of the name Francis, in honour of St Francis of Assisi, who identified himself with the poor (and is the patron saint of Italy), is highly significant.
The fact that the Cardinals chose an Argentinian Pope is widely seen as a reflection of the Catholic Church's growth in Latin America – where 40 per cent of all Catholics reside. Pope Francis told Catholics gathered at St Peter's Square soon after his election: "My brother cardinals have chosen one who is from far away, but here I am."
I can't say I am surprised by the choice of a Latin American Pope. In fact, I expected it, although I had no idea which of the Cardinals from the Americas would be chosen to replace Pope Benedict.
Before the papal conclave began, Cardinal Bergoglio was not mentioned as a possible papabile (considered to have a good chance of being elected Pope), and in fact it was another Cardinal from Argentina, Leonardo Sandri, who was listed among the papabili. However, as the saying goes, "Who enters the conclave as a Pope comes out a Cardinal".
It is interesting that Cardinal Bergoglio reportedly came second in the papal election to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in 2005, but he kept such a low profile that few analysts considered him to be a leading candidate in this election.
However, he must have been the frontrunner this time as he was elected on the second day of the conclave, and after only the fifth vote.
The new Pope is said to be a very humble man and as he appeared on the balcony overlooking St Peter's Square he broke with tradition and asked the crowd to bless him and pray for him.
When he became Archbishop of Buenos Aires, he chose not to live in a large mansion but in a small apartment; he also shunned his limousine for public transport. As Archbishop, he would wash the feet of Aids patients and often spoke up in favour of the poor.
All this gives us a good idea of what type of papacy we can expect from Pope Francis. He is said to be quite liberal in areas of social policy and once described inequality as "a social sin that cries out to Heaven", and has emphasised the Church's duty to serve the poor and disenfranchised.
On the main questions of doctrine, however, Pope Francis conforms completely to the Church's stance on abortion and same-sex marriage, and this is naturally to be expected. The Church cannot change its basic values and beliefs simply in order to become more 'popular'. On contraception, a number of press reports have indicated that the new Pope supports its use in some cases, notably to prevent the spread of disease. This would be a welcome development, as would a whole review of the Church's position on contraception.
The new Pope's challenges are many. St Francis of Assisi received a call from God to "rebuild my Church" and Pope Francis probably believes it is now his duty to rebuild a Church that has been damaged by sex abuse scandals and allegations of corruption within the Roman Curia.
He has already told his Cardinals that the Church could become "a compassionate NGO" without spiritual renewal.
The Pope's challenges are many. There are a number of policies, not strictly doctrinal, which many ordinary Catholics fail to identify with, such as the Church's official position on contraception, the ordination of women and clerical celibacy. Many Catholic priests are in fact married, such as ex-Anglicans and the Byzantine-rite Catholics of Eastern Europe.
All these policies can be reviewed and would go a long way in renewing the Church, without contradicting its basic beliefs and values.
The Church also needs to find a solution to the situation that divorced Catholics who remarry find themselves in, and who have long felt excluded from the Church.
The Pope will also have to make it clear that the cover-up of sexual abuse by members of the clergy over the years is a thing of the past and that such abuse will no longer be tolerated.
There is also much work to be done in reforming the Vatican bureaucracy. The fact that Pope Francis has not worked for the Curia will help, as is the fact that he is of Italian origin; the Curia, after all, is staffed mainly by Italians.
I hope Pope Francis will speak up for the rights of Christian minorities in the world, especially in the Middle East and in China, try to reverse the decline of the Church in Europe and play a prominent role on the world stage in the interest of peace and dialogue between nations.
I also hope he will continue the good work of his two predecessors in forging strong ties to other faiths and in working for Christian unity. The announcement that Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople plans to attend the Pope's inaugural Mass on Tuesday is an encouraging sign.
The Patriarch of Constantinople has not attended a papal installation since 1054, when Constantinople split from Rome.

Questions about my return plenums
1 Attachment(s)
Soundproofing Air Return Plenum. I have 2 air return plenums in my basement and they echo and vibrate something aweful. What can i do to sound proof them or at least stop the echo/vibration. I'll be decoupling the ceiling so that'll help but still. Also, they're nailed flush to the joists but is it ok to seal them to the joists as well so there's no leaks whatsoever.
Thank you.
Some use sound mat that is used in cars for dampening noise.
Looks like panning. If it is, you might want to remove it, and then replace it with thermopan.
Thanks guys for the input. beenthere I looked at your idea of the thermopan and it's perfect. and a lot more cost effective. Going to replace both plenums with it and thankfully my local Menards has the pans in stock:)

Get Off Your Big BUT!
Nearly every day, I have people that approach me and want to talk about their hopes, dreams, and aspirations for the future. These topics range from starting a small business, to improving their family life, to getting a big promotion at work - just about anything. The one thing I've noticed that most if not all of these people have in common is a BIG BUT. In the middle of telling me about their ideal future, their story turns to BUT...; then the excuses start flowing. People are too busy; their boss doesn't like them; they can't get the financing they need; the list is endless.
Unlike Sir Mix-a-Lot, I am not a fan of "Big Buts". There have been several times in my life when excuses could have served me well - we all have great excuses that are completely reasonable and rational and everyone understands and sympathizes. Get over it! I choose to never focus on WHY I CAN'T do something - and only focus on HOW I CAN. When you are busy making excuses, you are not making money, making friends, or making the world a better place. Every loser out there has an excuse as to why they're not a winner – but at the end of the day, they're still a loser with an excuse.
The long and short of the matter is that people don't like to see themselves as failures. I'm here to tell you that if you have committed to doing something and don't accomplish it – regardless of your excuse – you have failed yourself. The best advice that I can give you comes in two parts – first, be careful what you commit to. Always ensure that you have the time and energy and that the activity ties into your long-term personal goals. Second, always follow through – give it your all and I think you will be surprised by what you are able to accomplish.
And remember – if you don't try, you will fail 100% of the time!

2001 SEC Tournament Champions - 2000-01 REVIEW
Lady Bulldogs' season ends with NCAA Tourney second-round upset
Georgia's 2000-01 season came to an abrupt halt on Sunday when Missouri upset the Lady Dogs in the second round of the NCAA East Region in Athens. The setback snapped UGA's 24-game home winning streak overall and was just the third loss in 23 NCAA Tournament games played in Athens since 1983.
Season full of points of pride
Though the Lady Bulldogs came up short in their quest for a national championship, Georgia still enjoyed an excellent campaign during 2000-01. The Lady Bulldogs finished the season with a 27-6 record. Georgia now has won 25 or more games during six of the last seven seasons, averaging 26.3 wins a year during that span. Throughout the season, Georgia was never ranked lower than No. 7 in either the AP or USA Today/ESPN coaches polls. The Lady Dogs were ranked No. 4 in both entering the NCAA Tourney. Georgia also won the SEC Tournament title for the first time since 1986 on Kelly Miller's game-winning buzzer-beater with 0.8 seconds left in the championship game with Vanderbilt.
Lady Dogs make up ground in all-time AP women's hoops poll
The March 12 Associated Press poll, which listed Georgia at No. 4, was the final edition of the rankings for the 2000-01 season. That list will therefore count toward the tabulation of the all-time AP women's basketball poll, which is compiled by awarding annual points the same way individual voter's tallies contribute to the weekly poll (i.e. Connecticut will receive 25 points in the all-time poll for finishing No. 1 this season, No. 2 Notre Dame gets 24, No. 3 Tennessee gets 23, No. 4 Georgia gets 22, etc., etc.). Though the Lady Bulldogs remain in the No. 5 position all-time, Georgia took a large chunk out of the gap between itself and Texas (the current No. 3) and Old Dominion (the current No. 4). Neither the Longhorns nor the Monarchs were included in the year-end poll and received no points in the all-time rankings as a result. Georgia has now finished among the top-10 teams in four of the last six years. A fifth squad -- the Lady Dogs' 1999 Final Four unit -- completed the year at No. 12 The updated top-five teams in the all-time poll, as well as Georgia's finishes annually since 1983, follow.
All-Time AP Poll
Tennessee 534
Junior center Tawana McDonald scored 16 points in the season finale against Missouri and topped the 1,000-point scoring mark for her career in the process. T-Mac is the 21st Lady Bulldog all-time to surpass the millennium mark. McDonald will enter her senior season this fall with 1,004 points in a Lady Bulldog uniform, 34 shy of Saudia Roundtree for the No. 20 position among UGA's career leaders.
Kelly, Coco rank among greatest
The statistics compiled by twins Coco and Kelly Miller during their collegiate careers in Athens are among the best in Lady Bulldog history. Kelly completes her career as the only Lady Bulldog ranked among Georgia's top 10 in scoring (No. 3 with 2,177 points), assists (No. 2 with 239), steals (No. 4 with 285) and rebounds (No. 10 with 711). Coco Miller finishes her career ranked No. 4 in scoring (2,131), No. 8 in assists (396) and No. 7 in steals (225) Millers are Academic All-Americas Last Thursday, Coco and Kelly Miller became the first sisters ever named Verizon/Academic All-America in basketball during the same season. Kelly was tabbed second-team, while Coco was a third-team choice. The Biology majors who plan on attending medical school sport 3.4 grade point averages.
When the Lady Bulldogs gathered to celebrate their SEC Tournament Championship and view the NCAA Selection Show with their fans on March 11, senior Tiaunna Briggans' was rightfully selected to cut the cake commemorating the SEC Title. Briggans has quietly put together a very productive campaign for the Lady Bulldogs and played her best basketball of the season in Memphis.

What are you trying to do here? W is a vector, right? What is x? You
have not defined it yet! Is x supposed to be a vector? You try to
calculate the dot product between x and w, but is this what you want?
Or do you want to multiply each element of w by x?
I have put forward many questions, sure, but it is very unclear what
you want to achieve. For example, you have not told us what x is.

RS Investments Adds - Is eHealth Healthy?
Posted by: Sally Jones (IP Logged)
Date: March 12, 2013 05:40PM
RS Investment Management continues trading with a long string of adds since Dec. 31, 2013. The company had reduced its eHealth Inc. (EHTH) shares by 20.1% back in December 2012 after a fourth quarter loss of 25.5%, but bought them back with an add of 22.55% on Feb. 28, 2013, for a total of current shares at 2,895,711. The current price of EHTH is $17.5 per share, with a change from average of 13%. eHealth Inc. is an Internet-based insurance agency offering a wide range of medical and life insurance products for individuals, families, and small businesses in the U.S.
Here's a detailed analysis of EHTH.
Even though the company has shown a 7.1% revenue growth over the past 10 years, and 4.7% over the last 12 months, GuruFocus performed a thorough financial and performance checkup on eHealth Inc. and listed these warning signs: The revenue growth of eHealth Inc. has slowed down over the past 12 months, and its operating margin has been in a five-year decline. The average rate of decline per year is 4.7%. However, there are positive signs that EHTH shows financial strength, has a strong Altman Z-Score of 10.5, and has no debt. Other good signs are that the EHTH price ($16.62) is close to a one-year low, and the P/B ratio (2.05) is also close to a one-year low of 1.86.
Have a look at EHTH insider trades.
With a market cap of $358.1 million, eHealth Inc. has a P/E of 50.4, a P/B of 2.1 and a P/S of 2.4. See a comparative margin of safety calculated for EHTH, when compared to companies with the same growth rate and discount rate.

House fire contained
BLACKLICK TOWNSHIP — Firefighters were able to quickly contain a fire that damaged a Blacklick Township home Monday morning.
According to Blairsville fire Chief George Burkley, the fire at the two-story home along Grange Road appears to have started somewhere in the kitchen area just before 8 a.m.
Despite no nearby fire hydrants, firefighters were able to contain the fire to the kitchen, Burkley said.
"We had a quick knock down," he said.
However, there was heat and smoke damage throughout the rest of the first floor, and smoke damage on the second floor, he said.
No injuries were reported, but homeowner Daniel O'Neil was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
In addition to Blairsville, firefighters from Black Lick, Aultman, Homer City, Saltsburg, Tunnelton, Derry Borough and Eastern Derry responded.
Burkley said an electrical malfunction may have caused the fire.

Evi's Semi-dutch - 90x45x45 ADA - 56k Warning
Hi im new here, this is a journal rescaping my previously set up tank and neglected scape.
Im looking at going towards a semi-dutch scape. Lots of plant species in groupings and streets. Less focus on hardscape - thus I'm lowering the height of my hardscape, and removing some of the bulk. I find it is difficult to plant densly when there are buried rocks blocking planting space.
I really like the feel of this tank. Lots of thick, bushy, healthy plants. Its also planted in a similar shape as what im after as my tank will be viewable from 1 side and the front. It is also using a similar number of plants and colours as I am hoping to have.
Im hoping that once my plants grow in my driftwood will look a bit like this scape. Very soft and not over powering.
I have made a few adjustments to hardware
- No more LEDs
They make plant colours less vibrant
Speed of growth isnt fantastic
- Re-plumbed filtration
Used less piping to make water flow more direct
Tank Specs
Tank: ADA size - 90cmx45cmx45cm 10mm glass
Cabinet: ADA Style - Black polyurethane painted - 80cm tall
ATI Sunpower 6x39w Dimmable unit

Here's the filter I will be using. Ill be replacing the grey hosing with clear. I will also be using an additional external pump to combat loss of flow rate due to the inline reactor.
CADE lily pipe set to go with this (unfortunately will have to use a stainless steel strainer on the intake to avoid losing any little shrimplets):
Additional inline pump: Hydor Seltz L30
Heater: Hydor ETH 300watt inline heater
4.5kg KegsonLegs
Aquamedic regulator and solenoid
Sera flore CO2 pressure diffuser
4.5kg CO2 bottle. I will also be using the sera inline diffuser:
Auto Dosing:
MarineColour MC-03-S 4 channel control unit with MC-03-M 4 channel extension unit
Dry Fertilizers for EI dosing
6x Dosing Chambers
Clear tubing
Here are the dosing pumps I will be using. There are a total of 6 programmable channels.
There is also a 6x tube holder that will connect the tubes from the dosing pumps to the tank.
I am going to be doing using the EI method.
There is around 750g-1kg of each dry fertilizer. I believer it is important to keep them well labeled and air tight, so I have placed them in plastic containers.
I have purchased 2l of dino spit and 50small dino dung pellets.
2x ADA NEW 9l Normal Amazonia
1x ADA NEW 9l Powder Amazonia
1x ADA 6l Powersand Special-M
1x ADA Penac-P 200g (Plants)
ADA Tourmaline F 250g
Acrylic divider with suction caps
Manzanita Diftwood
Yingshi rocks
Soil layout plan:
Here's the steps on how I laid out my aquasoil initially;
Although I have made a few adjustments to this second scape
- thinner line of soil at the front and side of the tank
- blended the powder ADA further into the normal ADA for a more natural look and easier planting.
Step one:
I laid out my substrate line creating the overall curve of the tank. I used suction caps with acrylic sheet (3cm x 2mm) slotted in. I worked on the shape I wanted for quite some time.
Step two:
I carefully filled in the ADA powder using a scoop. I poured it towards the glass so as not to put too much pressure on the divider.
Step three:
I carefully kept filling until the powder was approximately a few mm from the top of the divider. I had a little bit escape under the divider but not enough to cause me any concern.
Step four:
Next was to add the powders; penac p, penac w and touramaline bc.
One whole container of touramaline bc was added
Then the penac w (10 scoops)
And the penac p (10 scoops)
The powders were then pushed away from the edge of the tank, about 1cm.
Step five:
I then added the powersand using a scoop. I didn't quite use a whole bag.
This was also pushed away from the edge of the tank, about 1cm.
Step 6:
To keep the powersand and aquasoil from mixing, mesh was added over the top and cut to size.
Step 7:
I then added the ADA normal using a scoop. Only one bag initially until my hard scape was done.
I blended the boarder between the two soils and covered the acrylic divider.
Planted 27/10/12
Took about an hour. There's still quite a bit of space to be filled in as not all the plants I ordered arrived.
The tank is still a bit cloudy unfortunately, i have added some accu-clear but the cloudiness remains.
My ATI sunpower light unit and cade stand has not arrived yet, so I'm using an old tank hood with 4 T5HO globes.
7 days since planting
Plants still adjusting a bit, not too much growth.
looks fantastic, what LED fixture did you switch from?
wow very nice scape! great right up def going to be following this one. im always a huge fan of dutch scapes, i just think they r gorgeous just to much maintenance for my taste haha
sweet set up....much too high tech for my noob brain though
Welcome to the forum. Wow this is a great setup1
Thanks everyone :)
Here's a quick pic of my hardware in action:
I had some issues with some weird melt in this tank. I have lost all my Staurogyne sp "Tropica", Ludwigia Glandulosa, Limnophila aromatica "Red" and Rotala sp "Green".
I also had some major issues with the Rotala indica aswell, i believe it was grown emersed and melted when i planted it. Although I left it for a week after it melted and it sprouted new shoots - I have since removed these (1cm long) and replanted them away from the rot. Here they are 3 days after being replanted:
My UG is struggling also, i think that may be a lighting issue (Ill get to that in a moment). I also lots 80% of my Hemianthus micranthemoides. Im also getting patches of BGA. I have treated it with H2O2, so hopefully that will slow it down.
I receieved my ATI 6x39w Dimmable unit and cade light stands last week. The light stands attached really well and everything was hung in 1/2 an hour. I left the light unit covered in plastic warp until the globes arrived 3 days later. This is where all the problems started...
I ordered the following globes:
3 Giesemann Midday 39w globes 6000k
2 Giesemann Aquaflora 39w globes 5700 K
1 ATI Purple Plus 39w globe.
I received the following:
1 Giesemann Midday 39w globes 6000k
3 Giesemann Aquaflora 39w globes 5700 K
1 KZ New Generation 39w globe 14000k
2 KZ Fiji Purple 39w globe.
Well to say the least I was confused... I contacted the supplier and he's going to send me the CORRECT order this week. I unwrapped the unit and removed the 0.5mm acrylic cover over the reflectors and i was horrified. The reflectors were dented and bent in several places.
Not impressed in the slightest. I put the globes into the ATI unit - they weren't the right spectrum, but i just wanted to see if the damned thing even worked. I switched the unit on and turned both channels to 100%. 2 globes lit up, 2 globes flickered and 2 did nothing. Great so the whole unit doesn't work, even after hours of moving the globes around. So once again, I contacted the supplier and hes going to arrange a replacement.
(note the colour of the globes - also wrong!)
Ok so, moving on.
Ive had some fairly good plant growth and everything is colouring up. i did a big trim, didn't cut everything as low as i should have but i didn't want to risk any more melt.
My Rotala sp Colorata is growing like crazy and is colouring up really well. Persicaria sp. 'Porto Velho is growing really quickly and producing better quality further up the stem, so i pulled them up, removed the older, lower stem and replanted. I also did this with Tonina fluviatilis. Ludwigia sp Cuba is developing a rich yellow leaf with a orange center, really nice and hygrophila pinnatifida is sending our runners.
3 weeks FTS - Everything is still very messy but its growing. Ill need to shuffle some plants soon.
Note how purple the light is, hopefully when my new globes arrive, the tank will look less purple (marine)!
I finally have my lily pipe at the right depth and its got some nice whirlpool action going on. Its also a good indicator of when i need to clean my filter.
Im having a bit of trouble with deficiencies/overdosing in the plants. So i have cut all channels in my auto doser and am only dosing KNO3, glut, and trace (additional iron as well) until i can figure out the problem.
hygrophila pinnatifida has small brown spots/holes plus yellowing in the old leaves and the new growth looks stunted and curly. Im guessing trace deficiency or mg over dose. I doubt it is co2 as everything is pearling like crazy.
sorry to here about the melt :\ hope u figure out whats wrong! other wise everythings looking super colorful
So I bought this gorgeous hunk of spunk Last week.
And im going to be upgrading my hardscape with this new piece. Im still aiming for most of the wood to blend in and have the plants as the main focus but i feel the bulk and colour of the anubias will really help my scape.
Im already having thoughts (and dreams - yes ive been dreaming about aquascapes all night!) on how lovely the contrast will be having streets of plants meeting with this grogeous piece of DW. Also i think my cyperus helferi will look awesome growing out from behind this as well as mixing in some mini java fern. Im also going to transfer some US Fissidens.
thats def going to change the whole look of the tank very nice. were r u thing about putting it?
I pulled up all the plants, removed dead leaves and trimmed everything.
took me a good few hours but this is how it looks.
Dust cloud! Yay!
So I did a 50% water change on the tank to remove some more dust particals and also cleaned out the filter.
Front of tank
3/4 view
Side view
And a close up
Now just have to wait for it to fill in a bit :)
Im still waiting for a bunch of plants that should arrive early this week. The back right hand corner is still empty.
yea once u get ome plants in the back corner its guna look sweet, looks much fuller then it did before. what kind of fish r thos, chili rasboras?
Im really happy with how much it has thinkened up the look of my scape :)
they r so red! wouldnt have figured, gives it some nice color. thats the kind of fish im looking to get is something bright red
They are a lovely fish :) They look pale at the store usually because of stress :)

The Post That Wasn't
This disappointment came on the heels of an emotional week/weekend for me. I have been struggling more than a little (understatement of the year!) with Jayci's behavior lately. Pretty much anytime I pick her up when she'd rather me not, or make her do anything she doesn't want to do, I have to utilize my cat-like reflexes (ha) to avoid her hitting me in the face. Time out after time out after time out, she is defiant and I am tired. Weary really.
And then I told you about how my best friend was in Waco for a missions conference. I think I was secretly hoping it wouldn't go well, because then she wouldn't leave me. But it went well (which is an amazing, wonderful thing and I am so glad -- but sad too!)
So combine all those factors, mix in a little emotional IS-SHUES, insecurities, and depressive tendencies, and I've been a mess over the whole fallen-through house situation. Unfortunately, our Enemy knows just when we're vulnerable, and he takes that opportunity to start whispering in my ear:
Not good enough
Less than
I immediately felt like we're never going to sell our house (on paper, the numbers just wont ever work), we will never move downtown, I'll never make another friend, Jayci and I will be fighting with each other forever and she will be knocking me out cold before long . . .
Here's the thing: when the Accuser starts accusing, the ONLY thing we can do is stand on Truth. Luckily, I have some wise friends who reminded me that God is sovereign and there is no Plan B. He knew exactly what was going to happen with our house, even before He laid the foundations of the world, and HE IS GOOD.
Not only that, but here's a few things that He says are true about me (I have to write them down because I am literally FIGHTING to believe them right now)
Free from condemnation
Always led in His triumph
Heart and Mind guarded by HIS peace (and peace is knowing, not necessarily feeling)
I have to trust in and surrender to the Truth that God has given us a vision for a ministry in the city. A vision of a home where kids can come and see how to live as a family, especially a family with a father. Where they can be safe and be 100% themselves without fear. Where they can do their homework, play the Wii, and sit down for a family dinner. A place where parents can come when they're overwhelmed. Where friends from the suburbs can experience community with the least of these. A place where God's infinite Agape love can pour through us onto some people who are living in broken homes and in poverty. A home where we can work with people (not for them) to alleviate poverty and restore LIFE.
If I am truly committed to following Christ, that means I have to trust him whether things go exactly how I'd like them to or not. Even when I don't get it. Even when I can't see any way for things to "work out," I must continue to have faith that the Lord has some greater purpose to fulfill in our hearts and in our lives. Because He is good. And He is sovereign. And He loves us.
"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
-Deu. 31:8

wow becca. i think my heart skipped several beats as almost the entirety of your post is EXACTLY what i am going through at this EXACT moment. the same kind of week. the same kind of thoughts. the same deal with our house. i mean, i had started writing a post in my mind of how God sold our house without us putting it on the market, and then that sale fell through. wow. isn't God good to let us know we're not alone? because while dealing with all of this i was having insecure friend issues as well. and my boys, well, they have been a handful as well. so, you are not alone becca. i am glad that the enemy cannot win (in fact, he's not very creative is he? i mean, putting two people through the same trials?). i'm so thankful for a God who ALWAYS comes through, even when it doesn't look like what we think it will look like. a God who always wins, in every situation. a God who can encourage a heart by allowing me to read your blog tonight and remind me that i'm not alone. thank you for being honest. your ministry sounds amazing. we are only 5 hours from atlanta, maybe when you get your downtown house we'll have to come love on some kids with you!ReplyDelete
Tears. again. Seriously. Your post always make me cry and I continue to come back for more! I think I cry b/c it's real. Not just for you but I think for us too.ReplyDelete
I have been in the different kind of boat lately, but those same feelings... useless, sad, the biggest... not understanding. So, in some sort of way I feel your pain, but the reminder you give about God's plan is just what I needed to hear! So, thanks, I seriously just keep calling out to God to asking him wrap his arms around me and hold me tightly.
You are having a impact on so many in so many ways. God is using you.
Im sorry about the offer on your house falling through. I know how disappointing it can be to try to sell. Dont get discouraged!ReplyDelete
Becca, I'm so sorry to read about your struggles! You WILL make it through, and you ARE God's beloved. No matter that enemy tries to tell you. The situation is NOT hopeless. And all these things WILL work together for His good and yours.ReplyDelete
As for Jayci, wow, sister, I hear you!!! Annalyn tries my patience every single day, and sometimes, I am not a good mom. Sometimes I CAN keep my cool, but then I still wonder if she would misbehave so much if I really were a good mom. And then I wonder if I can ever be a good mom. And on and on and on. We can't listen to these voices!! Little girls - especially at the ages of Jayci and Annalyn - are just going to test our boundaries and our limits and our love. And while we might lose our cool and wonder if they'll ever straighten up (!!!), they won't doubt our love. Because in the end, I know you love your baby just like I love mine, and they will know it, too. And really, that's what matters.
And, if all that pep talking fails, I suggest chips and cheese dip with a side of Diet Coke. :)
Luke 1:45: Blessed is she who believes that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished."ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing your heart, Becca. The enemy is a liar and a deceiver and he knows when we are most vulnerable. But you know the truth and where your source of strength comes from. Remember. Love ya!ReplyDelete
Praying for REST and PEACE that surpasses all understanding. My heart breaks for your weary self - when it rains it pours, huh? Glad you are clinging to the TRUTHS that you KNOW when the enemy uses your own emotions to deceive you. Now if God would just let us move back to Atlanta, I'd bring over a diet coke, some Mexican food and an offer on your house myself! ;)ReplyDelete
I know you know this, but His plan is PERFECT and this is all part of it, for SOME reason!
I am disappointed with you. Stand firm and turn to face the One who loves you and has something abundantly more than you could ask or imagine waiting for you.ReplyDelete
To clarify - not disappointed AT you. I'm sharing in those feelings of disappointment, just as you are.ReplyDelete
God's got His hands all over your life....This is just a pausing hand.
Great Post Becca! Thanks for the awesome reminder and hope all things are well soon!ReplyDelete
Your faith will see you through. Whenever I'm down in the dumps, I always try to remind myself that God won't give us what we couldn't bear... and somehow that sees me through. {hugs}ReplyDelete
What a disappointment. Hope deferred makes the heart sick. I just know that the ministry God has placed on your hearts is so powerful and so real and so life-changing!! God will accomplish what He has already begun! Praying for you as you wait and hope and hold on. He is Faithful!ReplyDelete
I love your blog. Thanks for posting such a great post...ReplyDelete
So very sorry that things have not been working out as you had hoped. I have been feeling many of the same feelings you have described as of late an it is so hard to accept that you just have to take life in stride and work through all of the (please excuse the lack of a better word) CRAP. I guess it is just a good time for us to reflect on all that is good in our lives and to trust in God to show us the path he has paved for us. Blessings that your answers come soon and that you will soon see the light of better days :)
poor thing! It's going to start looking up for you soon and the house situation will work itself out. Jayci will come around-I'm going through the same stuff right now with both Caleb and Allie!!!!ReplyDelete
Hang in there-you're such an inspiration to me!!!!
Thanks so much for your comment. And YES, I am totally there with you on this post. Trusting is something I am having to learn in a new way.ReplyDelete

$9 Billion Needed To Fix N.O. Streets, Infrastructure
As many as 700 people turned out in Lakeview Tuesday night to voice complaints about the conditions of city streets and to find out what is being done to repair them.
The town hall meeting in the gym of St. Dominic's school was organized by the grasssroots group, Fix My Streets Nola.
While Mayor Landrieu did not attend, his administation was represented by Deputy Mayor Cedric Grant who said the main obstacle to speedy repairs is funding.
Grant estimated $9 billion is needed to repair all of the city's streets and damaged infrastructure.
"It's not an easy thing to take on, because quite honestly, the cost continues to grow," Grant told those attending the meeting.
A new member of the City Council, Jason Williams, said the city has under-funded street repairs for at least two administrations and added, "now is the time to get started."
The group's next step will be to collect information from residents citywide on which streets deserve priority attention.
One woman attending the meeting told FOX 8, "I feel very encouraged that they're willing to work with us and that we've been heard a little bit."

One of my son's friends, a hedge fund manager, spent part of New Year's Eve saying how much easier investing must have been in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s: there was so much less uncertainty and you knew share prices were always going to go up.
It was hard to persuade him it did not feel easy when, in 1976, inflation hit 26 per cent and most of British business faced insolvency; or when the pound collapsed to $1.03 under Mrs Thatcher in spite of the gushing benefit of North Sea oil; or indeed in 1992, when in one 24-hour period, Chancellor Norman Lamont tried to raise interest rates by five per cent, to 15 per cent, before conceding that we would have to leave the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.
And that is without mentioning the 1982 sovereign debt crisis, when according to Paul Volcker, then US Federal Reserve chairman, eight of the world's top 10 banks were technically insolvent. Or the 1987 crash, when markets dropped further in one day than they have before or since.
The point is that it has never been easy. The future is always uncertain, even if some fund managers today seem to think last time was different. In their defence, what makes the current climate so hard for many in finance to deal with is that their formative career years were between 1993 and 2008 — a 15-year period of unusual calm, when the steady decline in interest rates helped make credit easier and markets seem more predictable.
For them the period since 2008 has been particularly traumatic: the rules of the game appear to have changed completely. Arguably, though, the volatility, economic shocks, social unrest and inability of governments to control events are simply a return to how it always used to be.
This perhaps helps explain one of the more interesting surveys to come out over the holiday. Conducted by Populus for Saga Share Direct, it suggested that the older people are, the more optimistic they tend to be about the financial outlook. There are regional, gender and socio-economic variations but age seems to be the dominant factor.
One can reasonably suspect that this relative optimism stems from the fact that they have seen it all before and so manage to maintain a sense of proportion. They know from personal experience that even when the headlines scream economic crisis, life for most people goes on pretty much unchanged. And when it doesn't, people adjust.
It is not that the health of the economy does not matter or has no effect on most people. It is rather that it is only one of a large number of things which determine people's sense of wellbeing. It needs to be kept in context. That indeed was one of the lessons of the year just gone.
For the previous generation, 1966 came to be remembered as the only time England won the World Cup, and people neither know nor care that the economic situation then was dire, with strikes on all sides, the pound in trouble, rising unemployment and huge uncertainty about how Britain was going to pay its way in the world. Similarly in five, 10 or 50 years' time, the current generation will remember 2012 for the Olympics, not for the double-dip economic recession.
At conferences last year someone in the audience would always ask when the crisis would end. But as the year rolled on, more and more speakers began to answer that they thought it had ended already. That did not mean things were going back to how they were before. Instead they talked of how people and companies had to live with the new normal.
That normal means there are always problems, there is always something threatening to go wrong, grand plans always unravel and most people muddle through.
This week the economic news has been about things that were also preoccupations last year. At home we have had one of our leading businessmen, Sir Martin Sorrell, warning that governments are always going to have to be careful how they tax companies if they want to stop them relocating overseas. Abroad President Obama seems to have secured an edge in the battle over what is known as the fiscal cliff. In both cases we would be naive to assume that these statements are the last words on the subjects.
But there is also reason to hope that in both we have got over the worst. Sorrell has, after all, brought his company, WPP, back to the UK. Republicans in the United States do seem to have learned from their election defeat that they need at least occasionally to co-operate with the President.
That promises to be the pattern for the months ahead. The eurozone banking crisis has not been resolved but again there is a growing belief that perhaps it is over the worst. To the extent that this becomes the established wisdom, it should help lift the mood of business at home and encourage it to invest more, which will do a bit to boost growth.
And yet the big promise of this year is not more of the same, but something quite different. Increasingly the markets, the City and the business community are looking towards life after Mervyn, the point at the end of June when the Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Mervyn King, retires and is replaced by Canadian Mark Carney.
No central banker wants to be described as swashbuckling but his early remarks hint that Carney comes close: they suggest he brings to the job of managing the economy a sense of adventure and a willingness to experiment that might well tap into the national mood. People are bored with recession, fed up with doom and gloom and looking for reasons to feel more cheerful.
But they also need the security which comes from believing that someone in charge knows what they are doing. Cometh the hour, Carney might just prove to be that person.

After the New York primary elections, a man exposes the truth about counties where Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton won.
He charged that the untested, unaccountable, privately-run software from the two companies hired to count the votes is stealing votes.
Out of twenty-two primaries, the votes have shifted in 20 of them. He said the exit polling data showed the votes have shifted 12 percent, and added, "A shift of 2% is FRAUD according to the U.S. State Department!"
Officials in charge told him to step back away from the mic so he's not speaking so loud or they will cut the mic off, and kept warning him his time was about up.

A December With No NFL And No NBA?
I had a bad dream last night. When I woke up, though, I felt even worse than I did while in the midst of my nightmare. You see, I realized that my horrific dream, may actually come to reality.
I dreamt that it was around Christmas time, early December. And THERE WAS NO NFL FOOTBALL BEING PLAYED – NOR WAS THERE ANY NBA BASKETBALL.
Think about that. It is not a likely scenario, but it certainly is possible. While the National Football League appears to be on the verge of getting itself together (good thing, since the draft starts tonight) – all NBA parties have basically agreed that at current pace, there will definitely be a lockout next season.
Let's be honest, most wouldn't miss the T'Wolves all that much. However, we Minnesotans can't live without the Vikes! Heck, we Minnesotans can't live without FANTASY FOOTBALL!
I often wonder if these owners and players know how important their sports are to the every day fabric of American society. They are all millionaires, if not billionaires. An every day guy, such as myself, shouldn't feel like he cares about the game more than they do – but doesn't it seem that way?
So, imagine this Winter; watching the Wild, Gophers football, basketball, hockey, SCSU hockey, and that's about it.
Sure makes our local high school sports a little more compelling, and that's not a bad thing.
But seriously, here's hoping that this Fall turns out just like last Fall. Except, this year hopefully the Vikings, T'Wolves, and Wild (and Gophers), won't all be terrible AGAIN!
But, I'd rather watch bad football and basketball, than none at all!
