A Reason to Smile
There are several reasons why Dr. Samandari's patients at A Reason to Smile have no fear of metal dental tools. One is that he communicates openly and amiably with each guest, ensuring that they have a total understanding of what will happen during their visit. Another is that he offers conscious sedation for those who suffer from dentistry-related phobias. Perhaps the most relevant reason, however, is that the staff avoids using metal tools whenever possible—they can gently clean teeth with pressurized water instead.
The office's combination of friendliness and careful service results in smiles that are both healthy and genuine. The team administers medical and cosmetic treatments alike, from placing crowns to whitening teeth. They also specialize in tooth-colored fillings, which are less noticeable than metal fillings and far less likely to become magnetized and stick your head to the fridge. Beyond basic dentistry, Dr. Samandari has assembled certifications in Invisalign, implants, and oral surgery; he has also traveled to donate his services to patients in need in other countries, and regularly helps make care affordable for those who need it at home.

Anti-social behaviour covers a wide range of actions from low level nuisance to criminal behaviour, often in the form of harassment or intimidation; broadly it is broken down into seven types of behaviour:
Vandalism graffiti and other deliberate damage to property
Teenagers hanging around on the streets
Rubbish or litter
Drug use and dealing
Drunk or rowdy behaviour
Noisy neighbours
Abandoned or burnt out cars / vehicles

While we didn't get to test the laptop's bass-reflex speakers, Dolby Home Theater v3 and S-force 3D sound processing should ensure you'll get the best out of them. What we were really impressed with was the 16in, 3D display. As mentioned, it offers a Full HD resolution - but what really sets it apart from rival offerings is its 240Hz refresh rate, double the 120Hz found on most high-end panels. We're assuming there is some kind of digital trickery at work here (like black frame insertion or similar) rather than 'true' 240Hz, but if it offers a smoother experience we're not complaining.
Indeed, combined with what appeared to be excellent horizontal viewing angles, punchy colours and good contrast, 3D on the F Series was relatively impressive. Obviously we're not expecting Panasonic Viera VT20 levels of performance here, but for a laptop display it's as good as we've seen.
The only element we had any niggles with was Sony's glasses. While very well-built and sleek-looking, they're a tad on the heavy side and not the most comfortable around.
There's a Blu-ray writer for 3D movies and backing up vast amounts of data to optical disc, while Nvidia GeForce GT540M graphics card should handle light stereoscopic gaming. Naturally, 3D conversion of 2D video material is also part of the package. One of the neatest features on the F Series is a large 3D button above the keyboard, which activates or de-activates stereoscopy on-the-fly regardless of activity or environment. This is a solution that's much more user-friendly than the software-dependent keyboard shortcut that would otherwise need to be employed.
The F Series's remaining specifications put its graphics to shame, at least on the F21 model which is currently the only entrant in the range. It sports a Sandy Bridge Core i7 CPU (as we saw with the MSI GT680, that means an awful low of processing power for a mobile part), a stonking 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a 640GB, 7,200rpm hard drive.
Naturally, all this goodness doesn't come cheap and we heard that pricing could be as high as £1,800, making this one premium puppy – especially compared to the cheapest 3D laptop option we've seen, the £600 Acer Aspire 5745DG. With its unleashing set for the end of March we hope to get you a full review and definitive verdict soon, but in the meantime, do you think you'll be adopting?

A gunman shot three people dead before being killed by police after a siege at a Colorado house.
Police Sergeant Cassidee Carlson said a SWAT team was called after gunshots were heard at the house in Aurora early today.
Investigators said three victims appeared to have been killed before officers arrived.
Carlson said the suspect was shot and killed when he exchanged fire with officers.
A fifth person escaped uninjured.
Violence put Aurora in the national spotlight nearly six months ago after a gunman's bloody rampage inside a Colorado cinema left 12 people dead.
Prosecutors will go to court tomorrow to outline their case against the suspect, James Holmes.Reuse content

There appears to be two camps when it comes to deciding on the engineering of electric cars. Some automakers such as Tesla, Mitsubishi, Nissan, BMW, Toyota and Ford believe pure electrics or plug-in parallel hybrids are the way to go. Others such as Chrysler, Mercedes, and Fisker have followed GM's footsteps embracing the idea of the extended-range electric car.
Now Jaguar Land Rover has joined the Volt camp.
After being granted a £307 million loan last week, the Tata-owned automaker has now announced its intentions to produce an extended-range electric next-generation XJ luxury sedan which will use a similar drivetrain to the Chevy Volt.
The company plans to bring the XJ Hybrid into production in 2011. It will have a slightly lower 30 mile all-electric range, and get a slightly higher 57 mpg in generator mode.
JLR also has a mini-Range Rover hybrid based on the LRX concept using a 2.0 L diesel engine, and a super-cap bearing mild hybrid Range Rover Sport in development.

Vent for a washing machine drain
I have an older frame home and the plumbing is in need of updating. My problem is: The washer drain comes from the standard set up behind the washer(plastic "box with hot and cold water facets and drain hole in the middle) 2in drain pipe (PVC)goes down thru the floor and is 90 degreed to the "S' trap,2in pvc line goes to kitchen sinkand is tee'd forthe sink trap then on to the bath, then on to the septic tank. Question: When the washer drains it gurgles in the sink so that tells me I need a vent for the washer, right? where do I install one before or after the S trap of the washer? Can I use a 2in tee upright and a 45 or 90 and run outside of the house?ON the outside how high should the vent go?
I told you I would have lots of questions lol:laughing:
Install the vent after the p trap. Check with your local Building Inspection Department for all local code questions. You should be able to run the vent pipe up the outside wall to up near the eave, but be aware of the possiblility of sewer gas getting into open windows, near patios, etc.
You may need a permit and inspection. Keep everything clean with proper records if you ever want to sell the property.
Good Luck!
Just fit a AAV to the pipe before the trap. Instructions on how to install this will be on the AAV box. You don't need to vent to atmosphere.
Check with your local codes before adding an AAV. AAV's are a handymans fix to anything. Do it right and add a vent.
Some codes DO NOT ALLOW AAV's. In 15 yrs I have to use an AAV once.
The reason that I don't use AAV is because of seal failure. Spiders and nats can get in the seal and cause failure.
Do it right and do it once.

Accident Summary
A lone skier triggered, was caught, & buried in a small soft slab.
A car was parked on the side of Monarch Pass. The driver watched a skier cut into "Gun Shot Cut Bank", trigger a soft slab avalanche, get caught and get buried. The driver grabbed a shovel and jumped out of his car and ran over to the debris pile. There was a ski pole sticking out of the debris and the driver went to that and dug the skier out. No injuries were reported. Initial reports have the skier buried about 3 feet deep.
No doubt, that dude cheated death. Lucky as all hell.
Holy cow. Lucky is right. I wonder how far the car was away from where he went down, I mean I doubt he could see the pole from the car.
Get that man a lottery ticket and a beer.
man talk about best situation ever for that guy.
I bet before he realized that guy was there to dig him out he was pooping his pants.
Skier was near one of the interstates which is how the driver saw him. Skier was truly blessed to be rescued so quickly.
If you're on Monarch Pass, you're a LONG way from an interstate.
I can't even fathom what I would be thinking in that situation. Once he realized he was buried and couldn't move, the minutes leading up until he first heard the guy digging him out must have been scary as hell thinking he only had several minutes until his last breath.
That would be the type of experience that would change your outlook on life.
I guarantee you that if he has two brain cells to rub together that he doesn't go in the BC alone again. This is obviously a situation where a knowledgeable partner with gear would've likely been able to very easily recover him. The fact that someone pulled over at an overlook just happened to see him go down and actually have the presence of mind to realize that he was in trouble and to go help is just 100% pure horseshit luck.
Unfortunately, the most recent death at Berthoud Pass was very similar. Another shallow burial that likely would've resulted in a terrifying situation but a relatively easy recovery if only they'd had gear and been prepared to use it.
Gives me chills just thinking about this... lucky motherfucker. The stars all aligned for this guy. I hope he realizes that this was "his Shit" as they said in training day.... when ethan hawk sas gonna get his head blown off but was saved by the fact that he saved the guys niece earlier that day.
4 Attachment(s)
That's incredible. The rescued skiier needs to put the rescuer on his Christmas card list for sure!

The students Speak Jukwaa La Katiba was launched on 2nd of July 2011. More than 50 participants attended the function. There were representatives from University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, Kenya Polytechnic and the majorities were from Mt. Kenya University who were the hosts. The Jukwaa La Katiba Steering Committee was represented by Pascaline Mulwa of TISA and the Jukwaa secretariat was represented by Boaz Mugoto and Leo Mutisya. There were also representatives from different media houses, these included; KBC TV,CAPITAL FM (98.4) and ONE FM.

The launch was done at the same venue where the banner bearing the name JUKWAA LA KATIBA NATIONAL STUDENTS CAUCUS with tagline "Students Speak: Tuzinduke"! which had been folded and loosely hang was unfolded as the students chanted their slogan Students Speak: Tuzinduke! and as calls for Comrade Power echoed the ambiance.
Press Statement
The students then addressed the media. Mr. Makori Onsando read the statement on behalf of the rest. The issues addressed included the following;
They denoted that with the promulgation of the new constitution it had culminated a long and bitter struggle that involved many young people including some students of Universities. That it was a historical fact that many university students died in the struggle while others spent most of their youth in demonstrations and working behind the scenes to have a people driven constitution They acknowledged and felt also motivated and challenged to continue the works by ensuring that the very constitution was implemented in its fullest to its letter and spirit. That the new Kenyan constitution provides a wide range of rights and benefits for the youth, these include:
- Dual citizenship more so for sporting youths (Article 16)

It was about giving people more so young people an opportunity to engage in building the new Kenya and opportunity to share the new Kenya.

Weird diets: No onions and garlic
Even more odd - this diet was not recommended by a nutritional counselor or holistic professional, but rather a priest from India. My parents, it seems, have arranged for a religious ceremony in India to bless my future marriage, and this diet was one of the conditions.
Why? You might ask. Good luck getting an answer out of my parents or even the priest. It seems I'll have to rely on Google for this one.
So I did some research and what I found surprised me. Apparently, there are lots of individuals who regularly take these foods out of their diets. The Buddhists and Hare Krishnas, in addition to being strict vegetarians, believe onions and garlic cloud one's mind with "passion," preventing transcendence. The Jains, also strict vegetarians, avoid these foods in addition to all root vegetables as they contain too many "life-forms," albeit microscopic.
What these cultures fail to recognize is garlic can also be extremely healing. It has documented anti-viral and antibiotic properties. And really what's so wrong with passion? It can lead to some great things too!
I am trying to see this as an opportunity to experiment with new foods. One positive change - I've been using asafoetida in my cooking, a pungent Indian spice that resembles the taste of onions and garlic. But the urge to rebel remains high...and they never said anything about leeks or shallots. :)

Hi Ameet! I was just in San Fran visiting my best friend, and her boyfriend doesn't eat onion, garlic and mushrooms for exactly this reason. He's done it for more than 10 years! It's great in San Fran because there are restaurants - like Cafe Gratitude - that even list which menu items have no onions and garlic. I can't wait to hear how it goes for you!

Hi Cindy, glad to know I am not alone. :) I miss Cafe Gratitude. What a great place. I was at Whole Foods the other day and noticed they have a cookbook. Have you seen it?

How interesting that I should read this post today :). I just finished reading the Bhagavad Gita and have been thinking about Rajasic (garlic and onion!) and Sattvic foods. They say that in general rajasic foods can stimulate the mind too much but may also have healing properties as you described and thus may also be considered, at times, Sattvic. I honestly do not notice a difference when I eat a little garlic or onion, but always try to pair it with Sattvic foods. :) Good luck!!!

Hi Ameet! Often when I post an Ayurvedic recipe that includes onions or garlic I get comments that these are not ayurvedic foods, but in my opinion, following a sattvic diet as a cleanse once in a while is completely do-able, and then the rest of the time it's good to have balance! Here's an article I wrote on it in case you're interested :-)

Hey Ameet,
Check out this site, it might help with your diet in trying to get products.
Good Luck.

Hi Ameet,
Check out this website for onion and garlic-free recipes.

The word is not 'passion', its 'lust' - very different meaning.
Our bodies need a little bit of Tamas to balance out the Rajas.
Tamas is a spectrum from sleep to lethargy to dullness to depression

text: In most industries refusing to pay your labor force is not only unethical, it would likely border on slavery and be illegal as well. Apparently in the world of blogging it's considered good business practice.As reported today in TechCrunch, the Huffington Post has just secured an additional $5 million in funding, for a total of $10 million, to continue developing one of the top blog destinations on the Internet. While it's unknown how the Post plans to invest the money, the co-founder of the company has made it clear that the writers at the site won't be seeing a dime. Ken Lerer, who worked as an executive at Time-Warner before helping to launch the Huffington Post, explained to USA Today that the company has no plans to begin paying the bloggers at the Post. In his words, paying contributors is "not our financial model. We offer them visibility, promotion and distribution with a great company." It's certainly true that writing for the Huffington Post will provide greater visibility, promotional opportunities and generate greater distribution for their work, but do these benefits make up for the money they are not being paid? For celebrity bloggers at The Huffington Post like Bill Maher and John Cusack, the lack of payment is probably unimportant, but with 1,800 bloggers writing for the company it's obvious that not everyone is picking up six-figure paychecks at their day jobs. There's nothing wrong with volunteer journalism. Thousands of vital stories are written every day by "citizen journalists" and many of these stories would never get out if it weren't for the dedication of unpaid volunteers. The Internet not only allows people to self-publish their work, it provides an opportunity for groups of people to publish collectively. These projects are generally not profitable and frequently can't pay anyone. While online advertising has come a long way in recent years, it is not uncommon for these sorts of projects to generate less than $100 a month.

Swimmers and coaches welcome return to "skinny-dipping"
By Gerard Wright
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - As with the European championships in Budapest last week, the Pan Pacific meeting starting Wednesday will be swum au naturel, or closer to it than any time in the past 15 years.
Swimmers, who live and die by split seconds, and their coaches say the change has not come a moment too soon.
"The people who broke world records in those suits were never credited, as they should have been," Australian coach Leigh Nugent said Tuesday.
"And the people whose records were broken were discredited, and it just wasn't good for our sport."
The suits, made of skintight polyurethane and neoprene, had the dual effect of compressing the limbs and trunk of the swimmer, reducing water resistance, while also improving buoyancy to increase speed.
They were shed from competition at the start of this year, after 43 world records were set at last year's world championships in Rome.
According to American team captain Jason Lezak, the suits rewarded, or at least kept competitive, the swimmer who did not train hard.
"Last year, I didn't train much and I wasn't in great shape and I still swam fast," Lezak told Reuters. Continued...

House Fire Investigation Underway
Published February 19th, 2014
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE-Firefighters are investigating a fire that destroyed a Gainesville home last night.
A father and his 11 year old son were taken to the hospital after suffering first and second degree burns
The fire didn't spark in the kitchen or the living room but in one of the three bedrooms in the house at 4601 NW 29th Terrace.
From there it spread throughout the home and into the attic.
People who witnessed the fire say it's a wonder no one was killed.
Landlord, Richard Mark says, "we were shocked, we were shocked and we were very concerned about the family living here. We understand the father had smoke inhalation he was taken to the hospital. Now the son one of the sons was injured enough to get the hospital, had some burns."
Firefighters tell us the father and son non- life- threatening injuries.
Fire investigators are still working to determine an exact cause of the fire.
Right now they have ruled out the possibility of an electrical or cooking fire

Will Soy Protein Turn My Boyfriend Into A Girl?
Ok... I'm about to rant. I may or may not reference my claims at the end.
Bear with me... I just saw this picture on bodybuilding.com and it sent me into a frenzy!
Review the image above...especially the statement to which the arrow is pointing.
To those who cannot view the image, it reads: "The only downfall, is the exclusion of egg protein, and the fact that soy can give males the female looking pec syndrome".
What? There's a protein that can make your boyfriend WANT to watch chick-flicks?
Don't get your hopes up.
"Soy protein should be avoided by males...simply because it is oestrogenic... i.e. it'll make you grow tits".
Amazing then, that there're vegetarian bodybuilders out there, lean as hell...who use soy as their sole protein source.
Amazing, in that soy, being so oestrogenic, must SURELY encourage female-pattern fat deposition and a myriad of other undesirable conditions.
Mustn't it?
It's scaremongering.
My advice?
Don't buy the scaremongering.
The Discussion:
There are numerous phytochemicals in Soy.
Some are oestrogenic...some aren't.
With specific reference to the oestrogenic compounds: You are honestly more at risk of oestrogen-related physiological change from environmental estrogens like those used in the production of plastics.
As mentioned above, some of these compounds aren't oestrogenic.
There are some of these phytochemicals which normalise the hormonal environment: adaptogenic compounds.
Soy protein itself is very versatile.
Let me reiterate: Soy is very versatile.
This isn't with specific reference to how it can be consumed. For the purpose of this argument, I am referring to its role in the bodybuilding lifestyle.
This is increasingly apparent while dieting... as its relatively high Branched-Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) content, especially the Leucine content, has a distinct protein-sparing effect.
Soy isoflavones, specifically the nonestrogenic ligands which bind the estrogen-related receptors, contribute to the lipolytic effect.(1)
Some argue that it increases thyroid output, but the jury is out on that claim.(2)
Anyway, as I was saying: The protein-sparing and lypolitic influences are especially important when metabolism stagnates during a caloric restriction phase.
Add soy's ability to decrease oxidative stress(3) to the mix, and you have one all-round great supplemental addition... for BOTH males and females.
Oestrogenic Activity:
The correlation drawn between the potential estrogenicity of soy stems from the use of soy's phytoestrogen as a form of oestro-HRT for females.
The fact of the matter is the 'phytoestrogens' marketed for females are misnomered.
'Adaptogens' would be a better term for the spectrum... as the activity is akin to such.
Sure, some of the phytonutrients are estrogenic in nature... but just like the anti-estrogenic compounds in cruciferous vegetables, the amount of the byproduct one'd have to consume to be affected negates the possibility of being so affected.
Think about it.
How many hundreds of pounds of soy do you think goes into each bottle of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) 'phytoestrogens'-type products??
You are more at risk with regard to environmental estrogens... as these are more pervasive, more destructive...and unavoidable.
Personally I consume a lot of soy... and when it's in my diet I get leaner by the day.
I can attest to its benefits.
Soy-containing protein blends have been my mainstay for years.
In fact, at this very moment I'm consuming oats cooked with soy protein. "NomNomNom!"
I've found that soy gets me very, very lean and muscular.
No water retention etc. ...Which is VERY interesting, as pundits would suggest that the oestrogenic factions would promote female pattern fat deposition etc. Heck, I would expect this to be exacerbated by my body's naturally high (due to high aromatase activity) estrogen levels.
However, this isn't the case.
Heck, it's far from the case.
Adaptogens... remember the term from above?
These phytochemicals in soy normalize the hormonal environment.
Consider my hormonal matrix 'normalized'.
Get aboard the soy train!

Subaru WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/)
- NorCal WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f78/)
- - Officially Official: Subaru Impreza WRX STI (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f78/officially-official-subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-24078/)
Officially Official: Subaru Impreza WRX STI
The wait is finally over. Subaru has released official photos and initial info on the new JDM-spec Impreza WRX STI. Details remain scant, however, as Subaru only tells us that the new STI is powered by a 16v 2.0L boxer with a twin-scroll turbo mated to a 6-speed manual. SI-DRIVE, multi-mode Drivers Control Center Differential (DCCD) and Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) are also standard. All of these things have been widely speculated on and/or reported already. Specific power numbers are conspicuously absent, so we'll have to wait for the rest of it when the car bows in Tokyo in a couple of weeks. Based on what's already been leaked, look for 304 horses and 311 lb-ft of torque in the Japanese-market model. What's no longer a mystery is the car's appearance, which is muscular and aggressive -- a huge improvement over the base WRX. Head to the gallery below to see the car unmasked at last.
What year are you talking about ffs? Link? Pics?
^ yeah no kidding. Pictures of the 09 have already been released. hopefully they thought twice about how the new body style looks and went back to a sedan versus as hatch.

Superfund Site: IDAHO POLE CO.
Superfund Site Profile
The Idaho Pole Co. (IPC) Superfund site is located near the northern limits of Bozeman, Montana in Gallatin County. The site includes about 75 acres, of which approximately 65 acres are owned by Idaho Pole Co. A small section of Interstate 90 (I-90) transects the property.
The IPC wood treating facility began operation in 1945 using creosote to preserve wood. In 1952 the company switched to pentachlorophenol in carrier oil (similar to fuel oil such as diesel) for the wood treating solution. Site processes included pole treatment in butt vats with the later addition of pressurized heated retort equipment in the area south of Cedar Street. Treated poles were stacked for drying and shipment in the area. Burlington Northern Railway Company operated a railroad roundhouse where wood treating chemicals and timber were shipped in and treated poles were shipped out of the site. Pole treatment processes included pole peeling with a bark-fill area for wood waste north of Cedar Street. In 1975 a pressurized heated retort was added for treating full-length poles. The pole-length vats were removed in the early 1980s. There was also a drying area where treated poles were stored prior to shipment. IPC continued wood treating with a pressurized heated retort and butt-dipping vat until September 1997, when the company ceased wood-treating operations.

President Mahmoud Abbas representing the Palestinian Authority made clear his government will not support another Intifada which he believes will only lead to further destruction of Palestine and fail to accomplish the goal of an independent nation. He promised there would not be a third intifada for the simple reason, "we've suffered enough." Abbas made clear "the palestinian people are focused only on the path of peace through negotiations." He also urged President Obama to follow through with promises the United States would support the concept of negotiations by moving from words to actions.
The tragedy of the Arab people is failing to learn from the examples of Gandhi in India and Martin Luther King in the United States that non-violence is a more powerful weapon than bombs and death. The Palestinian people should take to the streets in the spirit of Martin Luther King and confront Jewish Israelis with the power of love. In so doing, Palestinians will secure the support of most American Jews and compel leaders of Israel to bargain at a table of peace.

Sept. 26, 2013
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Five days and two scrimmages into fall ball, the Vol baseball coaching staff is stressing the little things and looking to ingrain the Tennessee way into their 20 newcomers.
The Vols held their second scrimmage on Thursday, playing six innings of intrasquad action. One aspect of the game the coaching staff emphasized was small ball. Prior to the action they worked on a bunting drill and during the game each half inning was started with a player laying one down.
"It's what our approach is," said head coach Dave Serrano. "Our goal is to be a great execution offense. We're going to hit balls over the fence too, but we have to learn how to have every part of the game established. We've got to be able to hit-and-run, we've got to be able to play the inside game and then hit balls off the wall for doubles and home runs too."
Through five days, Coach Serrano is pleased with the energy the Vols bring to practice each and every day.
"I like the energy; I think they're bringing energy each and every day, which is what we're asking them to do," said Serrano. "We're asking them to play the game fast, but to be under control.
"We're asking a lot of them right now. They're taking it all in and probably going through a little bit of confusion for some of the new guys, but they're handling it pretty well and the game is starting to slow down a little bit for them."
On the offensive side, the Vols posted a combined 13 runs on Thursday. To open the action newcomer Johnny Youngblood led off the game with a single up the middle. Continuing the small-ball emphasis, the junior college transfer proceeded to steal second and moved over to third on an A.J. Simcox sacrifice bunt.
One of the Vols' top returners, sophomore Christin Stewart then slammed a double into the right field gap, plating Youngblood. Stewart went 3-for-4 on the day. His classmate Vincent Jackson also had a big afternoon, hitting a double and a triple, while newcomer and Farragut product Nick Senzel picked up a RBI double.
Junior infielder Parker Wormsley also showed some gut, executing a perfectly-placed drag bunt single with two strikes on him in the third inning. Wormsley later one-hopped the wall on a RBI double to left center.
Six Vols saw action on the mound, including four newcomers, each tossing two innings. Junior transfer Bret Marks and freshman Kyle Serrano started things off, while Andy Cox, Andrew Lee, Peter Lenstrohm and Hunter Martin appeared in the later innings. pretty well and the game is starting to slow down a little bit for them."
With pitchers only allowed to throw fastballs and changeups, the offense had the advantage, but the pitchers were also reaping the benefits.
"I really like our offensive approach; I like the depth in our offense," said Coach Serrano. "I said it to the pitchers in the game, `this will make us better in two-fold.' We have an offense that's going to support us on the mound and we're facing good hitters in both lineups so that will make us better pitchers down the line. There are a lot of good things on, but like I've said little choppy steps and there's a long ways to go still."
Right-hander Kyle Serrano, the son of the Vols' head coach, threw two innings including a scoreless first where he picked up a pair of strikeouts.
"I'm just glad to be back out on the field," said Kyle Serrano. "I didn't play all summer so it's exciting to get back out there playing and pitching again."
A Farragut grad and 2013 MLB draftee, Kyle Serrano knows he has room to improve.
"I thought later in the second inning I started getting my fastball down," said Serrano. "I've got to learn to develop my changeup a little bit more, but I thought the later-half of the second inning I did a better job of keeping my fastball down and letting it sink for me."
Playing for the Mat-Su Miners in the Alaska Baseball League, Stewart tore it up this summer. Facing top competition day in and day out, he earned league MVP honors after leading the ABL with 31 RBI, 14 doubles and five home runs. The Lawrenceville, Ga., native finished second in batting average (.336), hits (42) and runs scored (36). Simcox led the ABL in all three of those categories.
Stewart picked up right where he left off, going 3-for-4 in Thursday's scrimmage.
"I was seeing the ball pretty well today," said Stewart. "The pitchers were doing a pretty good job of spotting up today and I just got some good passes on the ball and made good contact."
Stewart said his key to each at-bat is simply stepping into the box with a gameplan.
"You just have to hit your pitch," said Stewart. "You have to go into the box with a gameplan and if you see something you want to swing at, take a good pass on it."
For his efforts this summer, the outfielder was named the top prospect in the Alaska Baseball League by Perfect Game.
"It means a lot... I was very thankful," said Stewart. "I thank God for everything. I'm working hard and it started paying off this summer. I did really well out there. Me, A.J. and Trevor (Bettencourt) had a great time out there being on the same team. It was a great experience."
Stewart and the Vols return to Robert M. Lindsay Field at Lindsey Nelson Stadium on Friday afternoon at 2:30 p.m., with another six-inning scrimmage slated for 4:30 p.m. Matt Esparza, Drake Owenby, Josh Peterson, Dalton Saberhagen, Tei Vanderford and Nick Williams are all scheduled to pitch.
SEC foe Georgia released its 2014 schedule on Thursday, setting times for the Big Orange's three-game set down in Athens in mid-April.
The Volunteers and the Bulldogs will open the series with a Friday night showdown at Foley Field at 7 p.m. on April 11 and return to action on Saturday at 1 p.m. The series finale will take place at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
Last season, the Vols and 'Dogs series at Lindsey Nelson Stadium was cut to just one game due to weather.

Validating the IS-Impact model in Australasian universities
Rabaa'i, Ahmad A. (2010) Validating the IS-Impact model in Australasian universities. In PACIS 2010 14th Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems - Doctoral Consortium , July 8-9, 2010, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan .
Published Version
(PDF 353kB)
This paper presents a novel study that aims to contribute to understanding the phenomenon of Enterprise Systems (ES) evaluation in Australasian universities. The proposed study addresses known limitations of arguably the most significant dependent variable in the Information System (IS) field - IS Success or IS-Impact. This study adopts the IS-Impact measurement model, reported by Gable et al. (2008), as the primary commencing theory-base and applies research extension strategy described by Berthon et al. (2002); extending both theory and the context. This study employs a longitudinal, multi-method research design, with two interrelated phases – exploratory and confirmatory. The exploratory phase aims to investigate the applicability and sufficiency of the IS-Impact dimensions and measures in the new context. The confirmatory phase will gather quantitative data to statistically validate IS-Impact model as a formative index.

Another video has emerged of the child who decided he wanted to sit on the papal chair and cling to Pope Francis while the patient pope was addressing a group about family values. The Christian Science Monitor reported that as the pope began his speech in front of tens of thousands of people, he seemed not the least bit disturbed, smiling and continuing with his words. It was as if, as one wire service put it, the pope were his "indulgent grandpa." NCR reported the story earlier.

Project Description2006 CHDA
Custom Home of the Year
Guesthouses lead a charmed life. No garage to spoil the façade; no laundry room or kitchen storage to bollix the floor plan; all the glamour with none of the grunt work. So designing a great one should be a piece of cake, right? Well, maybe not. Ask John Murphey, the author of this tour de force guesthouse in New York's Dutchess County. For one thing, the Washington, D.C.-area architect explains, this specialized building type walks a deceptively difficult line. "A guesthouse has to serve a lot of functions. You don't know who's going to be there. They could be young or old. It could be two couples who don't know each other." And whoever the occupants may be, he believes, guest quarters should pamper them like royalty while purposely withholding certain amenities. "You don't want to make it too nice. You don't want your guests holing up there and not coming down to the main house." Clearly, Murphey has given the question a great deal of thought, and proof of his theories is amply on display here. An instant hit with our judges, this guesthouse is a model of functionality, clarity, and beauty. While the abbreviated guesthouse program freed Murphey from the constraints of a full-time residence, he took that as an opportunity to raise the standard that much higher for the quality of experience a guesthouse—or any building—can provide.
The project completes a farm-like estate with which Murphey has had an extended relationship. He was project architect—with the office of Hugh Newell Jacobsen—for the main house, which comprises a cluster of hip-roofed pavilions. Perched on a knoll above the main house, Murphey's guesthouse continues that theme, with a symmetrical trio of roof shapes: two for a pair of mirror-image bedroom suites and one for the central living space. The downhill view extends for miles, all the way to the Hudson River, without another building in sight. The living room drinks in the vista with a wall of glass that rises from a bleached oak floor to a 10-foot-ceiling. The ceiling cantilevers 5 feet beyond the exterior walls, providing a sense of shelter to the patio without the imposition of columns. Lit from below by interior and exterior sconces, the ceiling plane also serves as a hilltop beacon for the main house. "We purposely lit that thing so you could dim it up or down," Murphey says, "so you could have a nightlight up there."
The site's exposed perch presented challenges, however. "This building gets a lot of punishment," says Murphey, "so we kind of hunkered it down." The house turns its back to the Hudson Valley's harsh winter winds and drifting snow with a nearly windowless western elevation; it wears a waist-high limestone water table "like a big pair of boots, there to get messy." Retaining walls of locally quarried stone shelter the entry courtyard and terrace a steep downhill slope to the southeast.
Inside, a squeaky-clean simplicity reigns. The plan's BR nearly perfect symmetry and abbreviated palette of materials lend a calming quiet. Pared-to-the-bone detailing furthers the architect's minimalist aims, which he links to an image that contains no building at all. "We were setting the stage for a picnic," he says. "You really don't need much architecture for a picnic. We tried to keep our hand pretty much invisible." The deftness and assurance of the architect's hand were plain to our judges, however. They admired the building's simplicity and praised the design's "great restraint" in responding to an extraordinary site. Said one, summing up the matter, "It's a real classic."

The 21-acre Lampson Preserve is a sloping riverfront property located along the Bagaduce River in the towns of Castine and Penobscot. Located along the edge of a small cove on the Bagaduce River, known as Grindle's Eddy, the preserve includes approximately 1,500 feet of shoreline. Visitors to the preserve can travel along a loop trail that leads through meadows and forests to the scenic river.
The diversity of habitats on the Lampson Preserve attracts a variety of wildlife. Monarch butterflies, tree swallows, and deer frequent the open areas. The forested portions of the preserve are home to songbirds, wood frogs, and ruffed grouse. Along the shore, visitors can spot bald eagle, osprey, shorebirds, and harbor seals foraging in the river.
In 1998, MCHT acquired this 21-acre property thanks to a generous donation. MCHT's acquisition ensured its protection. Later, the property was named the Starr and Virginia Lampson Preserve, in tribute to a previous landowner.

If you're looking at used stuff, you may be able to pull it off...do you have a double bass drum pedal already?
So either buy used or cough up twice more than what I want to spend, right?
The PA can do the job but it's probably not a good idea? What would you recommend to amplify and deliever the sound?
Originally posted by Ted
Unfortunately, that's pretty much it...the least expensive kit we carry runs about $1300 new, and doesn't include a kick drum pedal, so you'll need to budget in a little more for that, especially if you want a double kick.
Actually, a PA is probably the best thing if you want to reproduce the kit at a "natural" level...most other systems would have a hard time going loud enough. What type of situation are you going to be using the kit in? One of the nice things about electric drums is you don't need to run them at the full level of an acoustic kit. If you're looking more for something to use at home, headphones work fine as well...
Originally posted by Ted
It depends on the kit you got...some kits have a pad that's big enough to attach a double-kick pedal to, and some come with little triggers that will only accomodate a single pedal. It'll probably be a wash either way...most decent double-kick pedals run from about $200-$400 (I think...I haven't bought one for over ten years so I'm not exactly up to date on pricing), where the little triggers run about $150 but then you'd have to buy two single-kick pedals as well...

If you can be a little more specific, I might can give you some pretty specific responses. I'd need to know what you mean by "standard" kit (how many pieces, cymbals, etc.), what kind of music you will be doing, and whether you have any other special needs/preferences.
Most kits won't come with a throne or kick pedal(s) and many don't give you a snare stand. Good entry level kits start around $1,000, and top end kits can go for over $4,000 for just the off the shelf stuff.
The Hart Prodigy, Yamaha DT Express, and Roland V-Club kits can generally be had for around $1,000. The V-Club lists for $1,200 per Roland's pricing policy, but can be bought for less as I say.
And just to add another monkey to the wrench, mesh head pads can be had for starting around another $250 more. Many prefer the feel of these to the rubber pads.

A new Forrester report on the eReader market just went live (clients can access the full version here).
In brief: We surveyed 4,706 US consumers in an online survey to find out what value they place on eReader devices. We used a Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter methodology to ask consumers four open-ended questions:
We plot all the data and to find the optimal price range for different segments of consumers--what price you'd have to charge for the device to get the maximum number of consumers buying an eReader.
What we found was that the price points for how most consumers value eReaders is shockingly low--for most segments, between $50 and $99. (Currently, eReaders in the US are priced between $199 for the Sony Pocket Reader and $489 for the Kindle DX.)
Here you can see the breakdown for how different segments of consumers answered the question, "At what price would you consider an electronic book device/eBook reader expensive but still purchase it?":

"This show continues to thrive creatively from year to year," said Wachtel. "We're looking forward to another season filled with intriguing characters, unique twists and incredibly suspenseful storylines."
The 4400 explores the travails of The 4400 people who all at once returned in a ball of light to Earth; though the returnees had not aged physically, many of them reappeared with dramatic abilities ranging from enhanced reflexes to precognition. NTAC (National Threat Assessment Command) is the government agency responsible for keeping track of the returnees and investigating all things related to The 4400.
The 4400 was created by Scott Peters and Rene Echevarria. Ira Steven Behr, Scott Peters, Maira Suro and Perry Simon are executive producers.

moulding between panels
i live in a mobile home and i need to know what the moulding is called that hides the gaps between drywall panels. ive thought about removing them and mudding the gaps but im not very good at it. id like to replace the moulding with something narrower or lower profile so it wont be as noticable.
If you move your home those joints will mostly likely just pop and crack if they are taped and filled. That's the reason they use the trim pieces. Can't you find anything at a building supply store? If not look in the yellow pages for a Commercial Wall and Ceiling Supplier.... they'll most likely carry all sorts of different types of trims.

The history of the famous Basketball team New York Knicks date backs to the year 1946 when it was founded by Ned Irish who was president of Madison Square Garden back then. Since then it has reigned as the most popular of all teams in the National basketball Association. The team has gathered its fan following over the years and has consistently remained one of the most followed teams in the history of NBA. With regular wins and breathtaking close calls the New York Knicks do not just play, they entertain their fans. With over 1000 games played since the time of its foundation, the New York Knicks are set to compete another season of the National Basketball Association.
No other team in the entire history of NBA has recorded more number of three pointers in a match then the New York Knicks have in the last season of NBA. Determined with this rather radical approach towards the game, the Knicks won a total of 54 games on their way to the Eastern Conference. The team focused on Three pointer shoots last year and emerged out being the best at it, not only did the radical approach help them being the number 2 seed but it also brought out terrific three point shooters who were the best at what they did without giving the opponents any chance to stop them from dominating the game, even when they knew their strategy from before. With high confidence and good teamwork New York knick's coach Mike Woodson is all set to lead the team to an enthralling performance again this season.
With Players like Carmelo Anthony and Andrea Bargnani in the team, New York Knicks expects to get a head start in the league. Kostas Papanikolaou joined the team in 2012 and is expected to be at the benches this season. There are no other major changes in the team's roster.

Shinedown movie in the works
The Pulse of Radio reports that a movie about Shinedown is in production.
However, frontman Brent Smith said it is not a traditional band documentary.
"It's a little bit of a difficult thing to describe, because it's such a unique concept, the way that we're shooting it and the way that we're putting together the life of the band over the past 15 years," Smith said. "But we're doing it in a very impactful way, especially with how we're gonna edit it and how we're gonna release it."

Palm Beach was established as a resort by Henry Morrison Flagler, a founder of Standard Oil, who made the Atlantic coast barrier island accessible via his Florida East Coast Railway. The nucleus of the community was established by Flagler's two luxury resort hotels, the Royal Poinciana Hotel and The Breakers Hotel.
West Palm Beach was built across Lake Worth as a service town and has become a major city in its own right. Flagler's houselots were bought by the beneficiaries of the Gilded Age, and in 1902 Flagler himself built a Beaux-Arts mansion, Whitehall, designed by the New York–based firm Carrère and Hastings and helped establish the Palm Beach winter "season" by constantly entertaining.
The town was incorporated on April 17, 1911.

Charlotte Moore, appointed controller of BBC1 and its £1bn budget, is brilliant at creating and commissioning innovative factual programming: think The Secret History of Our Streets and The Choir, even before you get to Great British Bake-Offs. But how will she fare in the showbiz world of The Voice, Doctor Who and Brucie? There, one minute, you're the genius who picked Call the Midwife, a sudden hero – but one duff White Queen can wipe that away.
If, like Danny Cohen, you choose enough winners, you can be head of television. But failure, especially with Cohen close by your shoulder, is always present. Good luck to Ms Moore: she's a calm, original talent well worth her chance. And as she stresses the need for "imagination", we can all tell her where to start. Goodbye Question Time? Farewell Antiques Road Show? Cancelled Casualty? It isn't as though Danny has left her nothing to do.
■ Congratulations to the BBC World Service and Peter Horrocks, its head of Global News, for posting record audiences of 192 million a week. (And, perversely, congratulations to HMG for insisting that much of the subsidy that has built the World Service be spent on Persian and Arabic TV, which are doing splendidly). But cross fingers and wince just a little as Horrocks meets his new boss and onetime rival for the top job, James Harding, formerly editor of the Times.
"James is very interested in the international side of the BBC," Horrocks tells the Telegraph. "The Times is a huge institution in the UK but, in a global context, it's a small local paper. The BBC is an enormous international player. The fact that James gets that and has asked me for my ideas about how we can build audiences… means I don't foresee there being any personal problems at all."
Not as long as former editors of small local papers know their place, that is.
