What did your Montreal Canadiens do to offend the Gods of Hockey?
Andrei Markov and Josh Gorges: Gone for the season with torn ligaments in their right knees.
Now Michael Cammalleri and Max Pacioretty.
If Cammalleri scores just before turning toward the right-wing boards, Mike Weber wouldn't have hit him during his goal celebration.
But Cammalleri's shot didn't go in. And a not-overly-vicious crosscheck from behind by Weber sent Cammalleri into the boards and out of the lineup.
Max-Pac did what Mathieu Darche does and what we wish more large Canadiens forwards did. He stood on the lip of the crease and obscured the vision of Ryan Miller as James Wisniewski cranked one up from the blueline.
The result … OK, who volunteers to be the next Tomas Holmstrom?
If the Canadiens are cursed – and there have been times we've all wondered whether the Bell Centre was built on an aboriginal burial ground – they will find a way to deal with it.
This year's edition is that kind of team. Getting a point out of Buffalo with three lines, while playing their second game in 24 hours, was nothing short of heroic. And it typified the spirit we've seen this season.
Markov goes down, Roman Hamrlik steps up.
Gorges finally succumbs to his wonky knee, P.K. Subban becomes Hal Gill's D partner and plays 25-plus minutes a game.
So who's on deck to replace Cammalleri and Pouliot?
My great and good friend Arpon Basu makes a case for Lars Eller. The kid may be ready for prime-time – you had to love his grit in that late game battle with Tyler Myers – and he could take Cammalleri's spot on the power-play, while continuing to play 5-on-5 with Tomas Plekanec.
The help has to come from two players who entered the season as question marks.
If the Canadiens are going to pick up points through the games preceding the All-Star break, Andrei Kostitsyn and Benoit Pouliot have to display the talent that made them high draft choices.
Can they do it?
Absolutely. We've seen flashes of their ability, and the team needs consistent effort from them RIGHT NOW!
But those two enigmatic talents have broken our hearts before.
And if AK46 and Benny move up to the Top Six, the third and fourth lines get pretty thin.
David Desharnais centred Travis Moen and Tom Pyatt after the injuries forced Jacques Martin to improvise last night. They were the only line who consistently cycled, dogged the puck and spent time in the Buffalo zone, but DD won't be boosting his Assist totals with those guys.
Then you've got Jeff Halpern, assuming he's recovered, Mathieu Darche and …
Ryan White? Dustin Boyd? Aaron Palushaj?
Or does Pierre Gauthier try to deal, from an uncomfortable position of extreme need.
The Canadiens play in Ottawa Friday night, then scoot home to welcome Saku Koivu and Maxim Lapierre back to the Bell Centre. Saturday will match the NHL's busiest goaltenders: Carey Price and Jonas Hiller, each of whom has 23 wins.
Price was spectacular – again – in Buffalo. The Sabres spent the third period in the Canadiens' zone, and Price shut the door to send the game into overtime.
The Canadiens might have had a crack at stealing two points if Scott Gomez hadn't blown his cool with less than a minute remaining in regulation.
I wrote about Gomez's gaffe in Quick Hits, and all credit to him for manning up about it afterwards.
"I put us in a bad situation," Gomez said, "and I'll take the blame for this loss."
No time for the blame game. Gomez and his teammates have to regroup and figure out ways to soldier on, minus four starters.
That's hockey. And at least the injuries didn't happen in the last week of March.
• • •
Two from the Commentariat, first from CharlieHodgeFan:
Pacioretty is a recent call up – a brilliant
one, but a guy who came in late. What he brings is a bonus, and having
him out hurts a lot, but can be dealt with. Cammilleri is a bigger hit,
even if he was slumping. If he's gone for a few weeks, the team is in
trouble. White has maybe two goals in the AHL, and it's goals this team
needs, not just guys to skate hard.
Pouliot. Kostityn, Eller,
Gionta – any of those guys could get hot. I don't see a big trade, so as
usual, we sit here and watch what happens. The Habs are a good team
this year, and the depth is being built – Pacioretty, Eller, Pouliot and
increasingly Desharnais are interesting young forwards. The team is not
far from being at a solid level of depth for an NHL organization, but
these injuries at this time stretch it out pretty far.
That was a nasty evening of hockey against a shabby team and with inconsistent officiating. Ugly hockey with ugly results.
And from Jason M:
Sometimes I wonder why I bother to watch hockey it really seems that 1 game
out of every 3 are decided by flagrantly bias and incompetent officiating. Is
it I hope I get to watch the occasional barn burner that makes me happy? Or is
it misery that I so seek on game nights? The Habs aren't exactly the most
disciplined team out there but I'd really like it if for a single game, the
Refs would do their job efficiently and properly and I can watch a game the way
it was meant to be watched. Gomez deserved a penalty but I think closing your
eyes on a handful of calls before cherry picking one is not what they have been
hired to do, at least, as far as I know. If a player has to "sell it" to get a
call, then the Refs aren't doing their jobs.
I don't know if you'll touch up on this but early in the game Lindy Ruff had
a hissy fit and then the Sabres have a field day with many non-calls that put
the health of our hockey players at risk out there. Where have we seen this before? Did
the Habs even get ONE POWERPLAY after that hissy fit? Unfortunately, I believe
At what point will management or the media bring this issue to the
limelight? I know it is frowned upon to cry foul towards the Refs but seriously
enough is enough and it's time for a change about this. Can we kindly ask
people to be consistent in their work? How hard is it to call a penalty on a guy
who used his stick and a battering ram on Eller a handful of times? The holding
of a stick on Moen? Or hit players repeatedly from behind causing injuries
(Cammy and Woz) ? What about the non-calls on the headshots (Halpern)?
Do Refs even get any repercussions from being terrible at their jobs beyond
not officiating in the playoffs?
The current NHL system for officials is terribly broken and at times makes
me wonder if I should simply PVR the games, check later to see the feedback
from people off internet media and decide or not if I should go through the
motions to watch season games.It's hard to be passionate on the product on the ice with all of these shenanigans going on.
One thing is for sure, I'm a very unsatisfied NHL fan right now. Though
kudos the Habs in sticking in the game, 3-4 players short while being on the
short end of the stick.

Egypt's Anger Reaches a Tourist HavenSarah A. Topol
In a parking lot in the center of Naama Bay, part of Egypt's famous Sharm el-Sheikh resort, several hundred protesters chanted along with a man on a small wooden stage festooned with Egyptian flags. Holding pictures of Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected president, with a red X over his face, the protesters demanded he leave office on the anniversary of his first year in power. The mood was ebullient. About 100 feet away, on the shore of the Red Sea, foreign tourists nonchalantly ate dinner outside their hotel.
It was quite a contrast with Cairo. In the capital city, the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters was ransacked overnight. Eight people were killed and 45 injured. Six others were killed across the country. The Egyptian army gave the nation's leaders 48 hours to resolve the crisis or it would implement a "road map" for the future, adding that it would not directly involve itself in government or politics. Many interpreted the statement as a warning that a coup was possible.
In Sharm el-Sheikh, Islam, a 26-year-old who works in a souvenir shop along the resort town's main drag, was among those who protested against Mursi. He speaks Russian, English, and Italian, having learned the languages from selling trinkets to tourists in the 8 years he's worked here, but these days, he says, tourists barely visit the shop, and his language skills are getting rusty. "Morsi hasn't done anything in a year," Islam says of why he came out to demonstrate. "We need somebody to do something for the people, but now the poor are very poor, and the rich are very rich, there is no middle class. And business is horrible."
Islam was one of millions across Egypt who took to the streets on Sunday night to protest the president. Though Egyptians had disparate reasons for joining the rallies—economic grievances, dislike of political Islam, or a fury at what they see as the Muslim Brotherhood's vice-like grip on power—they had the same message: Morsi's time was up.
Here in Egypt's tourist Mecca, protesters know they are walking a fine line. Egyptians from all over the country move to Sharm el-Sheikh to seek employment, and money comes from foreign tourists—many worry further instability would ruin the already embattled industry. Yet they also want their voices heard.
"Even if they are anti-Morsi, most Egyptians are here to work. They make their living from tourism, and they don't want to see disruption to tourism infrastructure," says Mike Schneider, a dive school manager who has lived and worked in Sharm for four and a half years.
In the days leading up to the June 30 protest, a sense of foreboding ran through industry workers here as they waited to see what would happen in urban centers and how it would affect their fragile lifeline.
Tourism accounted for 11 percent of Egypt's economy under previous President Hosni Mubarak, a vital chunk of Egypt's GDP. The industry crumbled after the revolution but has slowly been rebounding, offering a glimmer of hope to the battered industry. The first three-quarters of the fiscal year saw a rise in tourism revenue—up 14 percent from the previous year. But the death of an American student in Alexandria on June 28 has increased concern here that tourists will be frightened away. The mention of instability and danger anywhere in Egypt is reflected in booking numbers here.
Their concern was warranted. In the runup to June 30, the U.S. State Department issued a travel warning to "defer nonessential travel to Egypt" while also stating "the security situation in most tourist centers, including Luxor, Aswan, and Red Sea resorts such as Sharm el-Sheikh, continues to be calm." The U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office also urged British citizens to cancel all but essential travel to Egypt.
On Monday afternoon, Egyptians prepared for a second night of protests, with many vowing to stay in the streets until Morsi steps down, increasing the prospect of violence and turmoil.
"The real question now is what comes next, and some of the possible scenarios are not very encouraging," says Shadi Hamid, a researcher at the Brookings Doha Center in Qatar who follows Egypt closely. Hamid says continued protests, possibly mass strikes and civil disobedience as well as obstinacy by members of the bureaucracy could paralyze the government and invite a military coup. "The military is returning to Egyptian politics. Even if they decide not to play a day-to-day role, they will be supervising the political process. This plunges Egypt into a whole new era of uncertainty. Effectively, the rules of the political game have been suspended," Hamid says. "A military coup wouldn't come on its own, it would provoke Islamist supporters of Morsi and set off more instability and violence. That obviously would not be the best thing for the tourism industry."
The sector also has its share of industry-specific criticism of the president. In mid-June, Morsi appointed a member of al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya to be governor in Luxor province, a frequent stop on the tourist trail, setting off a storm of controversy and protests. Militants associated with al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya killed 58 tourists in 1997 in an attack designed to stem tourism revenue. Though the group later renounced violence and entered politics after Mubarak's ouster, they retain their ultraconservative Islamic ideology. The appointed governor later resigned, but the episode sent shivers down the spine of an industry associated with more moderate customs and spelled further bad press for Egypt's tourist sector.
Bad press is the one thing Egypt's tourist industry fears the most. "I don't think we should protest here," says Adam Ortega, a 28-year-old guide who works in a tour company across from the protest parking lot. Ortega moved to Sharm from Cairo after the 2011 revolution in the capital shuttered business there. He did not join the protests Sunday night despite having no sympathy for the president.
Instead, he worries about the effect even a small protest in the streets of a resort town can have on tourist perceptions. "All tourists know Sharm, and they should know nothing will happen here. No one lives here; Egyptians come from the governorates to work here," Ortega says. "If they want to protest against Morsi, they should go [to Cairo]. I worry because when tourists read about something happening, they will cancel their trip. We need to show them that Sharm is different."

Dave Evans
May 4, 2008
In 1969 I was working as a recording engineer at Continental Sound in Hollywood. Another engineer, Howard Steel, and I were trying to cover the non-stop, 24 hour, 7 days a week hectic schedule. About this time Joe Wilson came upon the scene. He need a job, we need another engineer. Joe was hired. As well as being an engineer, Joe was a great guitarist and had worked with the Classics IV. One day he told me of a guitar that stretched the B string by means of a mechanism that attached to the shoulder strap. Now this is where my memory fails me. I think he built something on the back of his Telecaster or it may be that I helped him build something. I do know that whatever the case it was on the outside of the guitar and I did build him a very crude cover to enclose it. He then asked me to build one for his Les Paul. I made an improved version of the mechanism on his Tele and also recessed it completely into the body of the guitar. This, to my knowledge, was the first Les Paul Pull String and the first recessed mechanism (see photos). This lever style mechanism was a very simple (and a bit crude) but in a fashion it worked.
Guitarists coming to the studio to do sessions would see Joe's guitar. This was inevitable since Joe never took his guitar off….except sometimes to go to the bathroom! One thing led to another and I was asked to build one. Then another. And another.
One of these guitarists was Ron Getman. Ron was working with a group called Carp, produced by Dan Moore. Carp also included Gary Busey, who was the drummer. I installed a lever type Pull String into a Tele body he had. He never liked the sound of that Tele but did like the Pull String. So he decided to remove the mechanism and put it into another Tele. The Tele he chose was just another Tele, just another old guitar you could pick up for a few hundred dollars. That was Tele #7632! Well there went Ron's retirement package! As Ron said, "Ah yes the stupidity and short-sightedness of youth!" He still has that guitar with a very early version of a Pull String.
I think about this time I met Bob Warford and he showed me the guitar that he and his Dad had built. I liked some of the ideas that they had come up with, so I decided to redesign my lever style and utilize a belcrank mechanism, which made for a much smoother action. Someone suggested that I should set up shop and build them. Good idea I thought! I then found out that Clarence White and Gene Parsons had a patent on it. A very secure patent. So I shelved that idea.
Shortly after that I met Clarence. I showed him my prototype belcrank. He played it and really liked it. He said that Leo Fender had been trying to develop a "bender" for about a year and a half, with Clarence and Gene's permission under their patient. But that Clarence had not been happy with it. Clarence and Gene said that if I wanted to make them they would grant me permission. I said I would, I was granted permission, and Leo was told that he no longer had the rights to build a "bender". Thus began the Pull String guitar adventure.
I left Continental Sound which had become Producers Work Shop, and moved to Torrance, CA and began working at Quantum Audio Labs and Quantum Recording. I continued building Pull Strings out of my garage in my spare time. Billy Ray Lathum comes into the story about here. Billy Ray was playing with the Dillards at the time. He got the 3rd guitar with the new mechanism. Sadly it got stolen. Billy Ray was one of my best salesmen! He hooked me up with Albert Lee (at the time with Heads, Hands, and Feet), and later, Davey Johnstone (with Elton John).
I placed an ad in Guitar Player magazine. I got quite a few responses to the ad and made up some brochures and mailed them out. It was during this time that I built the Pull String for Bernie Leadon (see photos). I remember I had worked through the night. Bernie arrived that morning, took the guitar and went off to make a significant part of Pull String history with the Eagles using it on "Peaceful Easy Feeling", "Take It Easy", "Tequila Sunrise", to mention a few. At this time I was approached by two acquaintances who talked me into letting them become my business partners. They suggested I move to Canoga Park, CA to be closer to them. So I did. We decided to that I should put up a display at the upcoming NAMM show in San Francisco. So I filled out the paper work for the show. I then started construction of a display booth (funny, my two new partners were too busy with their business to help!). So I continued on building by myself when it suddenly dawned on me….I'm going to display this contraption and I can't play it! What to do?! So I called Bob Warford who very graciously agreed to help me out by going with me to demonstrate it. I'm sure this was one of the more memorable road trips Bob has ever been on, but that's another story. So Bob and I go to San Francisco and set up the display. We get done then Bob points out the obvious fact that this is an "electric" guitar and there fore requires an amplifier! Oh, I hadn't thought of that! Fortunately, a man came by and was intrigued by the guitar and also noted the obvious lack of an amplifier. He said he could help. It was Hartley Peavey! He loaned us an amp. After the show, Hartley said that if I wanted to come to the next NAMM show in Chicago that he would let me have space in his booth. This would also help him since he didn't any guitars to demo his amps (he hadn't started to build guitars at that time). I was happy to agree. Oh, I forgot to mention that my two elusive partners showed up and booked a suite using my credit card!
Now, back home after the show, I confronted my partners in regards the expenses incurred on the trip. They suddenly lost interest in our partnership and left me stranded.
Meanwhile I was getting an occasional order or two but having a very hard time making ends meet. A record producer friend of mine said he was tired of the record business and would like to help me. He couldn't contribute any money but may be able to help in the management end of things. Now it's time to go to the Chicago NAMM show and the last gasp for the ol' credit card. We set up in Peavey's booth. This time, unfortunately, without Bob's talents. Not much interest in the Pull String, but Hartley's amps were really taking off! One night after the show my producer friend said, "Let's go to this lounge I heard about and check out a group that is playing there". We went, we saw, we heard, he signed them to a contract on the spot and that is how Rufus was discovered! Now my producer friend was back in the record business! I was left on my own again.
I think about here I met Fred Walecki of Westwood Music. He took an interest in the guitar bodies and put them on display in the store. He also took pity on my plight and gave me a job in his repair shop. This is when I met one of the most gifted individuals to ever come in into my life, John Carruthers. John was working for Fred doing repairs. He took me under his wing and taught me about how much I didn't know about building guitars! The man was and still is amazing. Up until this time I had just been building bodies with Pull Strings already installed, and putting in the customers necks (from their guitars, that is) and bits from Tele's and Strat's into the bodies. I also installed the Pull String mechanism in customers' guitars. But at John's suggestion, and with his help, I was able to build about 3 or 4 complete guitars. John had a little shop in Santa Monica where he would go after working at Westwood and do his own thing. It was there that we did a lot of the work on these "complete" guitars. They also included pickups that John wound himself on a machine of his own making. During that time John and I collaborated on the building of a 5 string electric bass for Emory Gordy (see photos). To my knowledge, this may have been the first 5-string electric bass. Unfortunately, it bass was stolen while Emory was on tour with Emmylou.
Another help to me was Chuck Erikson who was building banjos and selling inlay material at the time. Chuck had a machine that would saw the slots the finger board for the frets. He also almost caused me to have to change my underwear one day! He had a Sidewinder Rattler (I'm talking a real snake here, not a guitar accessory) in a glass aquarium. It was on a shelf about eyelevel. The little guy would strike at anything that passed by! Man that thing was fast! This was a great source of amusement for Chuck!
About this time Clarence came over to my house for a visit. He wanted to see the progress on a special guitar body I was building for him (see pictures). Being a recording engineer, I had tape machines. I suggested to Clarence that maybe he could put down a couple of licks on tape that I could use for promotion purposes. He pondered it for a moment, plugged in my prototype Pull String and did a couple of licks. Then a wry smile appeared on his face and he proceeded to put down one of the most amazing licks I had ever heard. He turned to me, now with a full grin on his face and said, "Let 'em figure that one out"! Wish I had that tape today! Sadly, shortly after that, Clarence was killed. This had a big impact on me emotionally as to whether or not I wanted to continue with the building of more guitars. Added to the fact that I was financially the poorest thing on the planet (second only to my cat!). I was looking to take up engineering again. Then Gene Parsons came to me and said that he was going to start building his benders, and asked me not to build anymore Pull Strings and I happily complied……with one exception. I had one last "complete" guitar that was 90% finished. I held on to it for a couple of years, then finally finished it and sold it to Tom Curtis (see pictures). And that was the last of the "original" Evans Pull Strings.

Man, I am so there! (well not quite, i'm a month behind all of you) lol. But I feel that way too! I have a short torso, so I don't have a whole lot of room for baby as is. All my organs are currently squished up under my ribs... and my poor ribs are so very sore from the lack of space they now have and all the pressure on them (not to mention the baby thinks kicking them is fun.) My back is sore, and I get side aches all the time when I try to walk ANYWHERE. Today I went out and bought a maternity support belt because I couldn't take it anymore. I needed something to help hold up my belly! I don't see how there's room for me to get any bigger! I'm only 6 1/2 months along though... my belly has to get bigger still.
Im as large now at 29 weeks as when I delivered my last one at 42 weeks and Im horrified that Im going to get even bigger for another 11-ish weeks...
I still have my XL maternity clothes from last time to squeeze into, but I am sure I only wore them the last few weeks last time.

I'm on Vashon Island, WA and it feels like winter right now:
what is up with the weather?!
I'm with you darlin'!
I don't fit in much. Who do they make maternity clothes for??
I grew quickly out of XL maternity clothes with my last pregnancy.. I'm getting there now too. (I'm usually a size Medium!!)
I am also in that awkward belly place too.
I knocked down a stack of blueberries at whole foods and sent them all rolling on the floor. I told them it was my belly!
Yes, it's quite the time. We'll all get there though... If only it were bikini weather here. I'm on Vashon Island, WA and it feels like winter right now:
what is up with the weather?!
Wow - I'm on the east coast and it is so hot today that DD's school was closed! (As, I believe, are all the schools around the state) So freaky. It feels like an open oven door - yesterday my thermom registered 107, and we are on the coast more or less.
The above-described heat is adding to my misery. My ankles - where have they gone?????????????
mama to Allison 8-18-08 and Ethan 1-24-11
Oh, wow, I'm in Seattle too, and I LOVE this weather! I keep checking the forecast to see how much longer we have so I can savor every day. It's not like it's raining all the time, so we can still go outside, but it's cool enough to not make the giant pregnant ladies hot and swollen! I hate the heat under the best of conditions, but with an August baby I'm practically going to be a vampire this summer.
I cannot believe I am only 31 weeks pregnant. It really feels more like 34 or 35. I have no idea how I'm going to make it through this whole summer!
That would be nice if you have A/C. We don't and haven't since we moved to Oregon. Someone has the stupid idea that A/C isn't needed here. Other than last summer which was tolerable, ever other summer has had weeks upon weeks with temps in the upper 90s and low 100s. That warrants air conditioning to me.
mama to Allison 8-18-08 and Ethan 1-24-11
Not during the summer it's not, and bugs, yick! No thanks. Seattle is always like this in June- have you lived here long? It's not reliably warm until July 4. That's why I love it here!

Do You And Your Spouse Share Last Names?
It used to be rare that I would meet a married couple that didn't have the same last name. And I'm not sure that I've ever ran into a couple where they guy adopted his wife's last name. But I have noticed some new trends popping up.
I know of one couple who took both of their names and now share a hyphenated last name… and I know of three couples (myself included) who don't share last names with their spouse.
Reasons vary. We are a blended family and my wife didn't want anyone to be singled out by having the only different last name in the house. I support that decision to this day. Some of my friends kept their names for professional reasons.
For whatever reason, what used to be unheard of, is now a bit more common. What do you think? Do we lose that "something special" by not sharing a last name?

Outdoe kitchen counter height.
I am building an outdoor grill island and I am going to put my Kegerator under the counter. The problem is that my Kegerator is 37" tall. So I'm thinking that if I want it in the counter then the counter height needs to be 38". That is 2" higher than the norm.
Does anyone know if this will seriously impair the functionality of my kitchen? I am 5'11" and my wife is 5'3"
Thanks for your input!
although 36" is the recommended height, i find 37-38" to be more comfortable.
of course there is a big height difference between you and your wife. she may not find it suitable.
if the kegerator has a finished top, have you considered building the counter around it rather than over it??
another option may be to add an elevated floor in the work area. this would essentially bring you up 2". just be careful not to make it a tripping hazard.
on secong thought, that probably wont work because of the kegerator door clearance.
it's hard to say without knowing your layout/design.
Woops. My wife is 5'3" not 4'3"
Thanks for your input!
I will have to think about. The options.

Serves 4 (or 6 with lots of other side dishes)
by Kate Heyhoe
by Kate Heyhoe
The addition of beaten egg whites gives this casserole a light, soufflé-like lift. Even if it deflates before it gets to the table, don't worry—the rich flavor of butter, cheese, garlic and stone ground corn are so irresistible no one will notice.
4 cups water
1 cup grits, preferably stone ground (see Grits Note)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick butter (4 tablespoons)
3 green onions, chopped (about 2/3 cup)
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 cup milk
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, preferably white pepper
2 large egg whites, beaten until they form soft peaks
Bring the water to a boil over high heat in a large saucepan; a 3-1/2 quart saucepan is best, as it's deep enough to contain the grits mixture when it expands and bubbles up during cooking. Gradually stir in the grits and salt. Partially cover and cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until the grits are tender and thick, about 20 minutes. (Warning: the mixture, like polenta, will splatter and bubble as it cooks.) The mixture is done when it's really thick, like wall-paper paste (not the most appetizing description, but the most accurate.)
While the mixture cooks, heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart casserole or soufflé dish with some of the butter.
While the grits cook and the oven heats, melt the remaining butter on medium heat in a small skillet. Stir in the green onions and garlic and cook through until soft. (You can also beat the egg whites during this time.)
Stir the garlic mixture, milk, cheese, and pepper into the grits. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the grits. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake about 60 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean. (Baking times may vary as much as 10 minutes shorter or longer.)
Grits Note:
Use the best quality grits you can find. Look for stone ground grits in whole foods and specialty stores. Absolutely do *not* use the instant or quick-cooking grits, which are pretty much flavorless.

All my parents app checked out and a home visit done. I moved in about 2 wks ago and I love it here. I am the only dog here and my parents are spoiling me rotten. My dad works nights and my mom works days. I am almost never alone. I have a crate all new and pretty but I don't have to go in it except when I want to. I have play time with my dad before he goes to work and with mom in the evenings when we are alone. I sleep where e v e r I want to and have lots of hugs and kisses. I am so happy. I am adopted and don't ever want to leave. :)
Nothing new to write about except I heard mom say we are going to get some cold weather. I don't mind.
We have 2 friends staying with us. Bella a Yorkie. She is blind in one eye and does not hear well. Mom said she has a neuroligical problem and her coordination is real bad. Mom feeds her with a syringe. She is a tiny dog.
We also have Francois staying with us. He's OK. Not sick or anything or crippled. He is tiny too. Their mom is real sick in the hospital so mom and dad are taking care of them for her.
Pebbles went back home. Her granny passed away so her mom went far away to be with the family. Pebbles is OK now and happy to be back with her mom. Good thing she went home. Santa probably didn't know she was back here in her foster home.
Mom gave me a bath last night. I look so pretty and I smell real good. I like baths.
Thanksgiving is today and I have lots to be thankful for.

The role of coronial autopsies in a context of decreasing hospital autopsies: An investigation of the issues
Carpenter, Belinda, Tait, Gordon, Jonsson, Linda, Peschl, Heiko, Naylor, Charles, & Bermudez-Ortega, Aurora (2010) The role of coronial autopsies in a context of decreasing hospital autopsies: An investigation of the issues. Journal of Law and Medicine, 18(2), pp. 402-412.
This article scrutinises the argument that decreasing hospital autopsy rates are outside the control of medical personnel, based as they are on families' unwillingness to consent to autopsy procedures, and that, as a consequence, the coronial autopsy is the appropriate alternative to the important medical and educational role of the autopsy. It makes three points which are well supported by the research. First, that while hospital autopsy rates are decreasing, they have been doing so for more than 60 years, and issues beyond the simple notion of consent, like funding formulae in hospitals, increased technology and fear of litigation by doctors are all playing their part in this decline. Secondly, the issue of consent has as much to do with families not being approached as with families declining to give consent. This is well supported by recent changes in hospital policy and procedures which include senior medical personnel and detailed consent forms, both of which have been linked to rising consent rates in recent years. Finally, the perception that coronial autopsies are beyond familial consent has been challenged recently by legislative changes in both Australia and the United States of America which allow objections based on religion and culture to be heard by coroners. For these reasons, it is argued that medical personnel need to focus on increasing hospital autopsy rates, while also addressing the complex ethical issues associated with conducting medical research within the context of the coronial autopsy.

Bayern Munich are in all kinds of trouble on and off the pitch, but is buying new players the solution?
"We talked at the hotel, and it was love at first sight."
Louis van Gaal's candid admission this week did not reveal anything about the Dutch coach's private life. But it did speak volumes about his relations with Bayern's best players who, it seems, he is doing his level best to disenchant.
Sarcasm has long been one of van Gaal's best-loved tactics, but his decidedly unromantic chat with Franck Ribery in a Bavarian hotel was a risky move.
It came after a friendly against Unterhaching, set up to help the Frenchman's rehabilitation from a long-term ankle injury. Van Gaal lashed out at the player after the match: "He did not put in any effort and showed no commitment.''
Ribery is a sensitive soul and was not pleased: ''I was very disappointed to see this in the press. If the coach always puts me down, time and time again, it is difficult."
Public infighting at the club - between coach, players and board members - is now a daily ritual.
Bayern are slowly recovering from their worst-ever start to a Bundesliga campaign, but still lie down in eighth place, 14 points behind leaders Dortmund. Some, including former legend Franz Beckenbauer, have already given up the ghost of catching Juergen Klopp's men.
''They made schoolboy mistakes, '' Der Kaiser complained after Bayern squandered a lead against Leverkusen last weekend. ''They are not good enough to win the league like this.''
Not only does Van Gaal insist Dortmund can be still be caught, but he is determined to do so without buying any new players. And he is even ready to release his best performer this season, Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The midfielder's contract is up in the summer of 2012, and the midfielder is the subject of intense transfer speculation.
''Bayern Munich is a business and if it is true that 30 million euros have been offered for him, you cannot just ignore that kind of money,'' Van Gaal said.
That represents sacrilege for board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who believes Schweinsteiger must stay at all costs.
Some Bayern fans have been left bemused. They are hoping the transfer window will see new names brought in, not familiar ones shipped out.
Sporting Director Christian Nerlinger wants to buy. President Uli Hoeness agreed this week that Bayern are capable of buying big - but only once the debt is paid off on the Allianz Arena.
More might be revealed at the club's annual general meeting next week.
Until then, fans are left wondering whether the German league and cup winners were right to not bring in any new recruits over the summer for the first time in Bundesliga history. Could that all change over the next winter break? Here are some of the possible targets:
The left-back slot has been a problem this year, and Bayern are eying Genoa's Domenico Criscito and Benoit Tremoulinas of Bordeaux.
Chelsea's Jose Bosingwa and Gael Kakuta are less-likely arrivals for that position. Meanwhile, Youngster Alvaro Dominguez of Atletico Madrid could fit the bill at left-back or centre-back.
Last year's top scorer in Bundesliga, Edin Dzeko, who would cost at least 40 million euros, would be the ultimate prize.
But an auction with moneybags Manchester City is the last thing Hoenness wants. Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner seems an unlikely choice up front, particularly with Mario Gomez starting to find goalscoring form, but we shall see.
Any new recruits will have to deal with a club stifled by daily infighting. And a coach with an unusual way of expressing his love.
Andreas Evagora, Deputy Head Eurosport 2

international online community for dna barcoding professionals
Date: 28-February 2011
Pub: ESAKIA, (50): 81-88
Author(s): Satoshi KAMITANI
PDF Attached.
Only five DNA barcodes of Japanese leafhoppers have been recorded, although the DNA barcoding method using of a part of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene is said to be one of new tools for taxonomic identification. In this study, 63 barcodes under 45 species (15 subfamilies and 37 genera) are newly added to the database of DNA barcodes. Barcodes of Japanese leafhoppers had different COI sequences, and none was shared between species. COI differences between most cicadellid species exceeded those within species.

Motion by Hanten, second by Heller, to approve the minutes of November 20th, 2012; all present voted aye; motion carried.
Emergency Management Director, Jim Sutton, reported the next meeting of the LEPC will be held at 12:00 noon on Tuesday, December 11th, at Pizza Ranch. Sheriff, Toby Wishard, submitted the following statistics for the month ending October 31st, 2012, for the Detention Center and Sheriff's Office: 65.52 average daily inmate population; 201 bookings; $11,315.00 collected in out of county prisoner contracts; $11,235.00 collected in work release; $3,440.00 collected in fees for the 24/7 program, $6,286.00 collected in SCRAM fees and remitted to the Clerk of Courts Office; with 39 individuals testing twice daily and 29 individuals wearing SCRAM (security continuous remote alcohol monitor) bracelets; 639 calls for service; 13 accidents investigated; 96 arrest warrants; 374 sets of civil papers served; and 8 prisoner transports for a total of 2,208 miles traveled. Codington County's SCRAM allocation from the SD Attorney General's Office was received in the amount of $2,479.00 for fees collected by Codington County in the third quarter of 2012. Sheriff Wishard reported the steps and ramp project on the front of the Detention Center are complete except for railings to be installed and the Detention Center has seen an upswing in inmate population with numbers as high as 80 on a single day. The use of Court TV inmate hearings with neighboring counties was briefly discussed.
Emergency Management Director, Jim Sutton, presented the Board with a contract, for software maintenance and upgrades in conjunction with the Northeast South Dakota (NESD) Rural Information Exchange Model (RIEM), between Codington County and the City of Watertown, for the benefit of the Codington County Search and Rescue. Motion by Heller, second by Hanten, to authorize Vice Chairman Johnson to sign the contract. Mr. Sutton noted the contract is for one year, commencing January 1, 2013, in the amount of $1,342.00. Upon vote of the Board; all present voted aye; motion carried.

Cigees LTD are located in the UK at Evans Business Centre in Dinnington, South Yorkshire.
From what we know Cigees move to a larger facility has been necessary due to the increasing demand of products in the UK and overseas. From the new Cigees fulfillment center they supply Electronic Cigarettes and accessories directly to users from the web site and wholesale to the retail market.
Cigees E-cigs offer Classic Kit, Majestic kit, Break free kit and the CE5 Refiller kit. This review will be about the New Break Free Superkit . I hope that it will be useful to someone because it's hard to find reviews about this brand.
First, what I want to mention is that Cigees have a very affordable range of products. Very important to me was the Cigee great customer service. If you have any questions, you can contact them either via email or phone. They answer really fast too. It may take a few hours, but I received a reply just 5 minutes after initial contact was made. Okay, let's start the Cigees review!
Cigees Offer:
· Starter Kit Range –£12.00 – £48.00
· Cartridge Life –Equal to 20 cigarettes
· Charger Options –Wall, USB, Car
· Money back guarantee –30 day
· Cartridge Cost –£1.4 each
· Battery Life –200+ Puffs
· Discount –10%
Cigees Packaging and Shipping
I purchased the New Break Free Superkit. It isn't the cheapest Cigees kit, but comes with 3 high capacity batteries. This means that you do not have to worry about taking your charger when you leave home. The Break Free Kit comes with 2 chargers and 12 refills too. You can buy all of these items separately as well. Cigees offer cheaper kits too, for example, the Classic kit which only costs £12.00 or you can buy CE5 refiller starter kit which cost £10.20 This is a fantastic price for a starter kit!
Packaging looks pretty good and very professional as you can see in image number two. Very professional packaging without being cumbersome and obtrusive! The most important items in the Break Free Superkit are:
- 3 High capacity batteries
- 2 Chargers
- 12 Refills
- Car charging adaptor
- Classic Pouch and Lanyard, Stylish Leather Effect Carrying Case
- Full instructions are included
One important thing is the Break Free Superkit is equivalent to 200 Normal Tobacco Cigarettes, so you can save a ton of money with the Superkit. As I mentioned earlier, they have good customer service and shipping was extremely fast. It took 48 hours for my order, but if you want fast shipping and receive delivery on the following working day, you must place your order before 3:00 PM.
My impressions of Cigees are of high quality cigs with one of the best customer service that I've ever experienced.
Cigees batteries
One important component in electronic cigs is the battery, It seems I'm always somewhere out where there is no possibility to recharge batteries, so I normally use E-Cig kits which include at least 2 batteries – this is the main reason why I chose the Break Free Superkit with 3 batteries. I never have to worry that the battery will discharge because I have another battery with me.
Cigees batteries last a long time. I was able to take around 230 inhales without recharging; I was able to get by with one battery for 1.5 days. This much battery life will satisfy the needs of all smokers.
The Classic High Capacity 240mah Battery is larger than most on the market and lasts longer. It is 82mm long – others being offered are much smaller. I should say it's one of most powerful batteries in electronic cigs on the market at the moment. This means you have a long use without charging. Last, but not least, the battery has a nice price/quality option. The Classic Electronic Cigarette High Capacity Battery costs only £6.60, if you want buy it. It`s one of the cheapest offers on the E-cigs market.
Cigees flavour
I didn't mention it earlier, but I like electronic cigs with real tobacco taste. Cigees tobacco vapour tastes and feels like a real cigarette and that is very important to me. I was really satisfied with Cigees flavour. The Cigees smoke looks very realistic as well, which is another benefit.
Overall, the Cigees flavour tastes like real tobacco cigs and is one of the best cigs I've ever tried.
Cigees Customer Service
As mentioned earlier, Cigees customer service is great. Cigees offers a variety of ways to get in touch. You can call them or write an email. When I needed a little consultation I received a reply just 5 hours later. It's very impressive to me to hear from them that soon.
Cigees offers the following four kits:
- Classic starter kit –£12
- Majestic kit –£36
- Break Free kit –£48
- CE5 Refiller kit –£30
If you just want to try Cigees I recommend you start with Classic starter kit which costs as little as £12.00, or Cigees new product CE5 Refiller kit which cost only £10.20. I suggest you buy Majestic kit or as me Break Free kit, if you want to get all items that I mentioned earlier, such as 3 batteries, 2 chargers, 12 refills and more.
Cigees Disposable cigarette
Cigees also offer a new e cig product E Brun Disposable Tobacco, it will be perfect if you want to make sure you have an E-Cigarette for times when you run out of Battery power. Cigees e burn disposable tobacco are long lasting model which give you, depending on use, up to the equivalent of 40 cigarettes. It`s great idea buy Cigees disposable e cig just for trying first time.Cigees Disposable cig is Tobacco Flavoured and has a 20mg nicotine content and cost only £2.40.
Cigees Review in summary
I'm very impressed with Cigees with the highest quality in flavour and tastes and looks like real tobacco cigs. It is very important to have an E-cig with real tobacco taste. Cigees is one of the best E-Cigs I have ever tried. The customer service is great and most importantly, it is very fast as well.
Verdict, Recommend

A "person of interest" in the robbery of the Cache Valley Bank in St. George has been arrested in California.
St. George Police Capt. Kyle Whitehead said Tuesday that James Ellison McKibbin, 41, was nabbed in San Fernando on Monday.
Whitehead said the FBI, which was involved in the St. George bank robbery case from the beginning, would be handling the case in California. It was uncertain when or if extradition would be sought by Utah officials, given McKibbin's possible connection to other past bank robberies.
The St. George robbery occurred just after noon on Oct. 5 when a man gave a note demanding money to a teller while implying he had a weapon. The teller complied and the robber fled the bank on foot.

Kent State University sophomore wrestler Sam Wheeler has been suspended indefinitely after making derogatory anti-gay comments on his Twitter account in reference to University of Missouri football star defensive end Michael Sam on Monday.
Wheeler, a former Copley High School standout who spent one semester at Oklahoma before transferring to Kent State in January of 2012, first tweeted the message: "I can't even watch sportscenter today cause all there talking about is marcus smart or that f** from mizzou...."
Sam spoke publicly about his sexual orientation for the first time in an interview with The New York Times on Sunday. He has played the past five years under Tigers coach Gary Pinkel, a former Kent State standout football player, and earned First Team All-American honors last season.
Wheeler later exchanged a few tweets with others who defended Sam and gays. His Twitter account was then deactivated shortly thereafter, but his messages had already gained national attention. It was the top story on the website "Outrage" (www.outragedc.com) by early Monday afternoon.
Kent State Director of Athletics Joel Nielsen released the following statement early Monday evening: "We are aware of the insensitive tweets by one of our student-athletes. On behalf of Kent State University, we consider these comments to be ignorant and not indicative of the beliefs held by our university community as a whole. This is an educational opportunity for all of our student-athletes."
Flashes wrestling coach Jim Andrassy also released a statement: "As an alum of Kent State University and as Sam's head coach, I was surprised and offended by what I read on Twitter. I have spoken to Sam personally, and while he is remorseful, he will be suspended indefinitely while we determine the best course of action moving forward."
Wheeler qualified for the NCAA Championships as a freshman last season, and is currently 27-5 at 184 pounds this year. He is ranked 13th in the country by InterMat.
Missouri's wrestling team, a member of the Mid-American Conference for the first time this season, will battle Kent State on Feb. 21. at the M.A.C. Center.
Sortt of funny that someone whose sport is grappling with other men with the intent of domination and placing the other man in a submissive position also has a problem with homosexuality.
Freudian, maybe?
And @ NunyaBizness,
I too believe the suspension is proper.
Kent State works hard at not excluding anyone only to have a representitive of KSU display exclusinary beliefs to the world.
Kent State Student-Athlete Handbook, p. 85:
"Athletic Department Policy: Participation in intercollegiate athletics at Kent State University is a privilege, not a right. Athletic Department conduct policy currently states, 'Student-athletes shall conduct themselves in a manner befitting highly visible members of the university community at all times, and abide by all rules established by the university, department, and head coach.'"
Wheeler directly violated the Student-Athlete Code of Conduct and has been properly suspended.
I hope the University will take this incident as an opportunity to create a better understanding of the impact of social media with all students and and that it will set standards for KSU representatives promoting social responsibility. I could be wrong, but it doesn't sbund like that was done prior to this indefinite suspension. Regardless of our what our views are, we are entitled to have them. It's the "how we choose to share them" that is not without limitations. If you represent a university, place of business, or organization....you are one of it's voices, like it or not. I thinks it's pretty clear that many people have gotten themselves caught up in this social media frenzy and have lost sight that what you say effects just about everyone that comes into contact with what you said. In this case the KSU community, Kent residents, anyone who reads the newspaper or watches the news.....and I would imagine the friends and family of the young man who tweeted, have been effected. Unfortunately, those using the trend of social media have had a plethera of TERRIBLE role models who say anything they want to get people to "follow" them. There is little or no consequence to the offensives they make though sometimes their "followers" get disgusted enough to stop "following" them. I've heard it's very easy to be really mean, bullyish, offensive, and irresponsible when you aren't saying it directly to someone's face. Often, the most controversial tweeters are our young peoples role models......reality tv personalities, Hollywood celebraties....and PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES. That's just a sad, sad, sad shame. I hope the University will realize there are big problems with social media out there and that they have an opportunity here to work with students in understanding the impact of words spoken and/or tweeted. The constitution provides freedom of speech......and as we all know that freedom can come at a price. We can do better, folks......we can do better.
Good for Sam Wheeler in recognizing the gay propaganda that is endlessly forced on us and speaking out on it. I applaud HIS COURAGE for speaking out on the brainwashing attempts to push a lifestyle that spreads disease and increasingly targets children. The Kent State Athletic Director is an idiot who should be removed. He should be sent to Brown University or some other embarrassing non-education institution. The coach is probably just protecting his job by voicing the views of his Stalinist boss and "his" Stalinist boss, so I'll give him a pass.
Homosexuality is a religion to the modern deviant and they exhibit the same radical zealotry in pushing it as does the "religion of peace" Islamic zealots do in forcing their religion on others. Why don't you all get back in the closet and LEAVE US ALONE with your radical zealotry!
The player from MO is a jerk for even mentioning it. Apparently, he fears he won't get drafted and is auditioning for a job with the GSPN(Gay Sports Network) that was formerly ESPN?
Get rid of this embarrassment of an athletic director.
If our new CEO allows this suspension to continue, I say send her back to where she came from, we do not want the kind of leader ship that takes or constitutional rights away and calls it education. I plan to ask that all state funds to KSU be with held until this young man's rights are restored to him and all other students there.
Wow. While I'm NOT ANTI-GAY I believe that everyone has the right to express their opinion. With that being said, I'm also not a huge fan of homophobes because I know how hateful they can be. However, it isn't like he threatened the Gay community. It is a shame that he isn't allowed to express how it makes him feel, but yet Michael Sam is. This boy coming out of the closet for what ever reason and announcing it to the Nation is beyond me. Seriously what is the point? National fame? That probably came with a price. He is poking the bear sort of speak, by doing so. What you do behind your closed doors is your business, as long as the partner is consenting, of age and no harm is coming to them. Get a grip America. Perhaps if we would have ignored his coming out, none of this would be happening.

Looking for a table...
Okay guys, I am looking for a table for my shop.
Basically, what I want is a metal table, that will like a 3 inch lip all the way around, that I can ship up on 3 corners, and drill a hole in the lower corner, so I can tear transmissions and whatever else that will be liquidy, so all the fluid runs out the hole and into a bucket.
We have one at work, dealership, and apparently Grainger has them, but I am unable to find on their website.
If you need me to draw a picture, I could try, but I am hoping someone will have an idea what I am talking about.
Also, by 3 inch lip, I mean basically a 3 inch wall all the way around, not a recess. And all the way around means the 2 short sides, and only one long side.
Thanks in advance.
Shop Table
that sort of thing one would make for oneself..should be a sheet metal shop around your area that could bend up a box to your dimesions and you can make some legs and frame to support the table..that is what I would do..In fact I could use something like that for my parts cleaning and such..
Make it big and sturdy enough to put a tranny or something of that size on the table..
See if there is an outfit that builds commercial kitchens in your area..they can make a stainless top that could fit your needs..
Good idea you have here..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
Try this.... www.grainger.com
Or you could call Grainger, explain to them what you are after and they could help you out.
For the money, why not just build your own? Probably would be considerable savings.

I spent like 45 min on the website before I posted this
Allegedly it is in the Grainger catalog, so, I need to look through a copy and find it.
And it is supposed to be about $120, so, having one built probably wouldn't be cost effective when I factor in the time and engergy, to end up with something that probably won't be any better than what I could have bought.
Now I just have to get a copy of the catalog, or give them a call when I am 100% ready to purchase.
I have a catalog in the garage. I'll look thru it later when I get home from work and if I find it will scan it and send it your way.
Thank you. If you want, I can draw one up in paint, if that will help.
If you buy one at least you know it's level and straight. If you make your own there is potential room for error and the table might not come out level.....this would be the case with my egnineering skills
You can always build one for twice the cost that will be half as good.
-My Philosophy
OK...I looked all thru the Grainger catalog and could not really come up with a table unless the top was flipped. Most of the tables in their catalog though come from Edsal. So you may want to check this site Clicky and scroll down until you find the tables and see if any of those would suit your needs. The only other thing that would come into mind would be a table like is used in a cafeteria at schools for washing dishes. If I remember right some of those had a drain area in the corner where you would scrape food off into. So a site that has industrial dishwashing supplies might have something or maybe a site that has to do with butchering. Of course those tables would be stainless steel and I imagine rather expensive. If you have some HVAC places in your area you could get a piece of metal bent up on all four sides and then weld the corners. You could have any size made you want and it would not be that bad pricewise. Then all you would have to do is order some industrial bench legs which are around $55 in the Grainger catalog. Just a few options to look at. Keep us posted.
Why not use a piece of 16 ga. sheetmetal with sides turned up and corners welded. Have the fabricator "X" the bottom. Weld pipe flanges in the corners for legs(Or drill/silicone). Weld a bung in the center of the X, drill, and install a ball valve. Done. 16 ga. should be plenty, considering the side would be under 24x36 or so. I would guess your cost would be less than $100.
(Or use 6" pipe nipples and set it on your regular bench, so its not in the way all the time)
Here ya go...you need something like this:
Oh yeah...the price...dang.
Price yeah
Owwwwww..think I woudl make something for this job..lots of good ideas came up..
Buying stuff like this leaves nothing for hot rod parts..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
Thanks guys for the assistance. I am still not finding what I am looking for, but if I can find my digicam, I will snap a pic to see if that is of any assistance.
I am going the search for a manufactor name on the one we have, see if I can find anything from that.
I'm not the fabricator type. It seems like anything I try to build always flops, so, building one is definitely out of the question.
I discovered this site that may have what you are looking for.

I like the first one, I might need to give them a call.
The second place is way too expensive for me.
I had my dad build me one, not really what I wanted, but it should suffice for now. I will try to take pictures later this week.

CC-Crystal baseball improves throughout season
CARSON CITY — It was a season of continued improvement for the Carson City-Crystal Eagles baseball team in 2013.
Longtime area coach and athletic director Wes Cummings returned to the bench to lead the Eagles in 2013. Cummings last coached baseball for Davenport University (2009-2011) and also coached baseball at Belding and Cedar Springs in the past.
Cummings enjoyed his return to high school baseball.
"I enjoyed it. We had great kids, they worked hard, were always attentive and seemed to want to learn," Cummings said. "They worked hard in practice and I think we made a lot of improvements from the first two or three games of the season to our last two or three games."
Carson City (10-17-1) improved in every facet of the game, but Cummings said the defensive improvement stood out.
"I think the biggest improvement was overall defense," Cummings said. "We made a lot of plays toward the end of the season. We didn't seem to make any plays early. Routine grounder and pop flies, everything was a problem early. They were routine at the end of the year, so I think we came a long way defensively."
The Eagles' season ended with a 4-3 loss to eventual district champion Sanford Meridian in the district semifinal at Shepherd on June 1.
Carson City had three players earn Mid-State Activities Conference honors.
Senior Hunter Clark was all-conference and all-district, senior Caleb Geselman was all-conference and junior Garner Cusack was MSAC honorable mention.
Clark led the Eagles with a .363 average. He had 33 hits, scored 29 runs, drove in 12 runs and had one home run. The center fielder was 19-for-20 in stolen base attempts.
"Hunter was a great center fielder. He covers a lot of ground, has a good glove and he throws well from the outfield," Cummings said. "Pitching, he had a great strikeout to walk ratio. We could count on him to throw a pretty good ballgame and go six or seven innings."
Geselman played third base. Geselman hit .288, had 23 hits 18 runs, 12 stolen bases and 16 RBI for the Eagles.
"Caleb improved a lot as the season went on. He played third base and at the end of the year I would describe him as steady," Cummings said. "He had a little bit of a rough start, but he was one of our better hitters all year. Offensively, we will miss him."
Cusack started the year as shortstop before switching to catcher, a position he will play next year for the Eagles.
"We switched him to catcher the final two weeks of the season and that is what he is going to do next year," Cummings said. "I think he will do a great job there. He has a good arm, moves well behind the plater and I think he will shine there."
Cusack hit .310 with 26 hits, 25 runs, 15 RBI and 15 stolen bases for the Eagles.
Cummings said most of his team is playing baseball this summer as they look to improve for next season.
"We are playing in a league this summer on Tuesday's and Thursday's. It is going well so far," Cummings said. "We have some individuals playing on some other teams and that will make a big difference."
Losing just four seniors gives the Eagles some hope for an improved season next year.
"We will miss our seniors, but that happens to everybody," Cummings said. "For the most part, we have a pretty good group coming back."

I recently had a really bad ticking sound coming from under my timing belt cover after a timing belt replacement, so I removed all the covers and found something very unfortunate. Apparently my timing belt tensioner bracket sheared the heads off the two bolts that mount it to the block. Fortunately, I do not think the timing belt skipped, since the tensioner had been held in place by the covers.
Has anyone heard of these bolts shearing off? Even if I can extract them from the block, is that likely to happen again?

Collaboration of public sector agencies : reporting and accountability challenges
Ryan, Christine M. & Walsh, Peter (2004) Collaboration of public sector agencies : reporting and accountability challenges. International Journal of Public Sector Management, 17(7), pp. 621-631.
|Accepted Version (PDF 87kB)
There is increasing pressure being placed on government agencies both in Australia and internationally to act in a more collaborative, integrated manner. Community and welfare programs are being conducted in new "shared" or "whole-of-government" ways, which pose a challenge to traditional models of public sector reporting. Existing accountability mechanisms are designed for vertical accountability relationships, and these are inadequate for horizontal or "networked" accountability across government agencies. This paper uses the case of the Community Renewal Program based in a Queensland state government department to illustrate the problems which arise when reporting on "shared" programs. The paper offers a different approach to improve reporting and accountability for shared programs.

A wonderful way to personalize a layout, a card, an ornament, or other fun altered items! This element kit has a very special place in my heart. I dedicate this kit to my son, JJ. He has gone through a lot in his young life as we have struggled through developmental delays and behavior disorders that are a part of being autistic. He is still a loveable and wonderful little boy, whom I love with all my heart. This kit features 3 polar bears designed after JJ's favorite little stuffed polar bear named "Beary." Beary holds a very special place in JJ's heart and is carried everywhere with him. The polar bear in the kit with just the scarf is a replica of Beary. I love you JJ!

Buzzfeed.com Hilariously Explains 'Why Kids Are Actually The Worst'
A couple of friend on my Facebook page have shared this article put together by Buzzfeed.com. Finally I decided to check it out, and just about fell out of my chair reading it. Having two young kids of my own, this is basically the story of my life. Enjoy!
Ok, so kids can be cute and squishy.
But let's be honest…
They're mostly just infuriating, ravenous monsters.
1. They get stuck in everything.
2. They're clingy.
3. They do this.
4. They're lazy.
5. They smell weird.
6. They're bad at everything.
7. They can't take care of themselves.
8. They give up easily.
9. They actually get stuck in everything.
10. They're scared of friendly animals.
11. They're exceedingly dumb.
12. They're terrible laborers.
13. They cry. Constantly.
14. They're functionally useless.
15. They're selfish.
16. They rarely, if ever, get food in their mouths.
17. They break almost everything.
18. They don't care about other humans.
19. They're stupid.
20. They do this.
21. They're stupid.
22. They're mean.
23. They literally have no idea what's going on ever.
24. They make a mess.
25. They're helpless.
26. And stupid.
27. And the worst.
(except for this one.)

Dont know if he really said that but the fact is that Fefe broke down on him again on friday. On straights the car looked like it shouldnt be in F1, it was like snail and a rabbit, and the rabbit won. Great to Kimi to have a race where something didnt broke down. The speed is still there it just the car that keeps braking down and giving problems. Reply Report abuse 22 agree 4 disagree
