No. 4 Women of Troy Suffer 3-1 Setback to No. 3 Washington
Follow, Like, and Insta with @USCWomensVolley
Oct. 28, 2013
Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery | Box Score (PDF)
LOS ANGELES - The fourth-ranked USC women's volleyball team (18-3, 8-2 Pac-12) had its 16-match home winning streak snapped at the hands of No. 3 Washington (17-1, 9-1) in a four-set loss (25-23, 23-25, 25-19, 25-22) at Galen Center on Sunday, Oct. 27. The Huskies grabbed first place in the Pac-12 with the win and sent the Women of Troy into a tie for second place with Stanford.
Five Trojans reached double digits in points led by 17.0 from sophomore outside hitter Samantha Bricio who put up 16 kills (8e) on 36 swings for a .222 hitting percentage. She also had a service ace and dug up 15 balls to log her fifth double-double of the season; the 16th of her career. Bricio was put through her paces as she received the lion's share of Washington's serves: 53. The Trojans earned kills on 18 of her passes and picked up six more on her 15 digs.
Senior outside hitter Sara Shaw also posted a double-double outing with 14 kills (3e, 35att, .314) and 14 digs. It was her fourth of the season and the 12th of her career. Senior middle blocker Alexis Olgard had 12 kills (3e, 21att) and attacked at a .429 rate to go with a pair of blocks while junior middle Hannah Schraer added seven kills (0e, 15att) with a .467 hitting percentage to go with four blocks. Freshman outside hitter Ebony Nwanebu added nine kills (2e, 28att, .250).
USC out-dug the Huskies, 72-64, thanks to a match-high 23-dig performance by senior All-American libero Natalie Hagglund. Her third dig of the match moved her into seventh place in Pac-12 history as she passed Husky great Candace Lee who had 2,038 career digs.
Despite Hagglund's heroic performance, Washington was able to decode the Trojan offense and out-blocked USC, 8-6. Junior setter Hayley Crone had 28 assists and seven digs and freshman setter Alice Pizzasegola picked up 25 assists to go with five digs, but the Trojans were out-hit by an opponent for just the second time this season. Washington finished with a .291 hitting percentage (67k, 19e, 165att) over USC's .276 hitting (62k, 20e, 152att).
For the Huskies, Krista Vansant carried the load as she passed 44 balls and still came up with match-high honors on 22 kills (8e, 58att, .241) to go with seven digs. Washington also got strong production out of middle Lianna Sybeldon who posted 15 kills (3e, 26att) for a .462 hitting percentage and had a match-high five blocks. Kaleigh Nelson added 13 kills (6e, 36att, .194) while Kylin Munoz had her way on offense with nine kills (0e, 21att) with a .429 hitting rate.
In a first set of scoring runs, the Huskies had the last burst to complete a 13-5 string and earned a 25-23 win. USC seized early control and really began to pull away on a 4-0 run that put the Trojans up 12-8 when Schraer blocked Cassie Strickland's attack. USC continued to roll and tied the bow on a 10-4 run to go up by six points at 18-12, but two kills by the Huskies stymied the Trojan offensive. Washington continued to chip away at the USC lead and caught the Trojans for the set's fourth tie at 22-all. The Trojans scored the next point, but a pair of back-to-back kills gave the Huskies set point at 24-23 before a USC error sealed the win for Washington. Both teams hit .244 in the opening frame as the Huskies scored 16 kills (5e) on 45 swings and USC had 18 kills (7e) on 45 attempts.
The Huskies were on the prowl in the second set and raced out to a four-point led when Vansant earned back-to-back kills with a tool shot followed by a cut shot. Washington held its lead until USC scored three straight points, the last of which came on a line-shot by Nwanebu, to tie the score at 10. UW went on another short run to lead by three and maintained its lead through the heart of the set. Bricio went high hands for a kill to get the Trojans within a point at 18-17 and crushed one off a Husky defender to keep USC within striking distance at 19-18. Shaw swooped in and tooled the UW block to tie the score at 19-all before an ace by Bricio flipped the lead to USC's side of the scoreboard at 20-19. Shaw tooled another block and then earned a pair of kills through holes in the Husky block to give the Trojans a two-point cushion at 23-21. Shaw's last tool-shot gave USC set point at 24-22. Washington saved one set point before Olgard came through on a quick-set kill to close out a 25-23 win for the Trojans. USC posted a .371 hitting rate in the second set with 15 kills (2e) on 35 swings. UW had 17 kills (5e, 41att) for a .293 hitting rate.
The Huskies ran away with a 25-19 win in the third set as they built a lead as large as seven points at 16-9 on a kill by Nelson. The Trojans tried to close the gap and had a pair of kills by freshman outside hitter Elise Ruddins and Olgard help pull them within five at 19-14, but Washington kept the pressure on. Vansant came to life down the stretch and provided four kills to help lift the Huskies to victory. Her kill stretched the Washington lead to six at 23-16 but the Trojans never stopped fighting. Schraer ran on a slide play and delivered a six-pack shot to Katy Beals before Nwanebu went down the line to keep USC alive with a five-point deficit at 23-18. Vansant tipped her next shot to give Washington set point at 24-18, but Nwanebu saved one with a kill before Vansant earned one more point for the 25-19 win. USC hit .235 in the third with 13 kills (5e, 34att) while the Huskies posted a .279 rate on 43 swings with 17 kills (5e).
USC controlled the fourth set at the outset and grabbed a 6-1 lead when Olgard earned a kill to top off three straight points. The Trojans led by six, 10-4, on another Olgard kill, but the Huskies retaliated to rip off a 10-0 run and go up by four themselves, 14-10. Bricio's kill finally ended the long Washington rally and got the Trojans back into the set. USC needed every swing by Bricio as she went off hands twice to pull USC within two at 16-14, and again at 17-15. The Huskies never batted an eye even though the Trojans made several overtures to tie the score. USC got within a point at 20-19 on a kill by Ruddins, and trailed by a point, 21-20, on another Bricio kill, but that was as close as the Trojans got. The Women of Troy needed another point from Bricio to stave off a set-point opportunity and got a kill from Schraer to get within two at 24-22. It wasn't enough as Vansant shut things down on her final kill of the night. USC hit .263 in the final frame (16k, 6e, 38att) but couldn't stay with UW's offense, which had 17 kills again (4e, 36att) for a .361 rate.
The Trojans open the second half of the Pac-12 season with matches in the Bay Area this week. USC takes on defending conference champion Stanford (15-4, 8-2 Pac-12) on Wednesday, Oct. 30, at 7:30 p.m. PT. The match will be broadcast live from Maples Pavilion to a national audience on Pac-12 Networks. The Trojans will also face California (13-6, 6-4) on Friday, Nov. 1, at Haas Pavilion, in Berkeley, Calif. The USC-Cal match will be broadcast on Pac-12 Networks regionally.

Randy, I have spend days on end with that helmet on putting cars back together. We are talking doing one car after another replacing trunk floors and frame rails and quarters and roofs and rockers on any one of these cars having hundreds, many hundreds of welds. I have worn it all day long welding on street rod bodies, replacing the wood with metal, replacing floors, firewalls ext.
But you choose to call me a liar? What in the world possesses you to do this? You know NOTHING about my life, yet you can call me a liar about me liking an F-ing welding helmet? HUH?
Jeeez dude, you need to take a chill pill and look up at the clouds and thank God you have a life to do what you want instead of calling me a liar about my liking cargo pants.
I was cool up to post #29 then you started acting like a smart a**... And I just answered you back.... Never said you was a liar... You thought that...
As far as tacking body panels on at a body shop and being a welder,, There's two different things here.. I forgot about ALL the custom cars you built... My bad..

How does the SP-01 Tactical differ from the CZ 75B? (and is it in a good or bad way?)
I was quoted a price of $595 for the SP-01 Tactical
and a price of $465 for the 75B.
how do those prices sound -- reasonable? high/low? and which is the better direction to go if these are both within my budget?
This gun will be used for some 'training' at the range and then sit at home (not to be carried) for home defense.

31. What is typically the biggest transition from high school to college and how does the summer workout plan help prepare them?
It's a big adjustment going from the high school game to college. It's a quicker, stronger and more skilled game at the collegiate level. The overall transition of our Team One to the college level will come with time and practice, but the summer Performance Training Manual was developed and designed to lessen the transition gap as quickly as possible by building a base for them to work off when they arrive. Throughout the summer, through the Performance Training Manual, we are introducing and preparing their bodies and minds for the next level.
30. Did you incorporate any fun aspects into Team One's summer Performance Training Manual?
Yes! There are a few fun additions to our manual, such as a summer reading assignment and the implementation of accountability partners -- both of which are designed to get the players thinking about leadership and personal responsibility, which we will focus on with our Team One. Perhaps most fun will be the Team One Stick Skill Challenge. This challenge is a fun and competitive way of improving stick skill coordination and building confidence in stick skill control. At the end of the summer, each player is to tape a video of herself performing her best stick tricks. The videos will be sent to the coaches who will view them and narrow the field down to the top three videos. Once on campus, the entire team and staff will watch the top three videos and decide the winner!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/3/2014 (1200 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
With its pre-budget, five-year infrastructure plan in hand, the province is charging ahead with plans to build the Headingley bypass extension of CentrePort Canada Way.
Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton said there is a real determination to get the 14-kilometre, $150-million extension built over the next five years.
"This is hugely important," Ashton said. "Our goal is to get it significantly under construction in the next five years. And we are able to do it because we have a five-year capital plan. We have taken a project that was scoped out for 25 or 30 years and it's now going to be moved to within the next five years."
The bypass will create a much safer traffic environment, industry officials said. Currently, the Trans-Canada Highway through Headingley carries about 19,000 cars per day, a very heavy load by Manitoba standards.
A Headingley bypass was always envisioned as part of CentrePort Canada Way, the 9.1-kilometre, $212-million four-lane highway that opened in November.
That roadway links Inkster Boulevard near Brookside Boulevard diagonally to the west Perimeter Highway.
The cloverleaf at the west Perimeter built for CentrePort Canada Way will be utilized for the Headingley bypass, which will funnel traffic north of Headingley and link back up with the Trans-Canada near the St. Francis Xavier cut-off.
Ashton stressed this project is getting top priority and land acquisition and detailed engineering will commence shortly.
"This is not a study, it's a plan," he said. "We will get the land assigned in an engineering sense and start construction and complete it in an expeditious fashion."
Most of the land required is in private hands, and public consultations will be held. The Department of National Defence owns a rifle range on the proposed route, and Ashton said the province will work co-operatively with the federal government to find a suitable place to relocate the range.
It's not certain yet what the speed limit on the bypass will be, but Ashton said it will be more than the current 70 kilometres per hour on the stretch of Trans-Canada through Headingley.
Although provincial funds have been budgeted for the project, the province will still have to apply for federal assistance through the Building Canada Fund, which is open for applications at the end of this month.
Steven Fletcher, federal MP for the area, said this project would likely be eligible for support.
A significant impetus for the new roadway developments in the northwest and west side of the city is a desire to ease the strain of intense truck traffic in the region and it is designed to ensure unimpeded truck-traffic access to highways in and out of the city.
Diane Gray, CEO of CentrePort Canada, said about 70 per cent of the truck traffic in the capital region happens in that area.
She said the new roadways will enhance the attractiveness of inbound investment at CentrePort in that it will make for noticeably more efficient traffic flows.
"One of the things we have learned about trucking-intensive businesses is that, particularly with U.S.-based site selectors, they often look for five minutes to 55 miles per hour (90 kilometres per hour) as a rule of thumb for siting large-scale, truck-intensive businesses," Gray said. "So the ability to offer that not just to the Perimeter Highway but beyond to the Trans-Canada is absolutely fundamental to our ability to sell that effectively."
In addition to traffic-flow efficiencies, the new roadway will create for the trucking and transportation industry -- which provides the backbone for $15 billion worth of annual two-way trade between Manitoba and the three western provinces -- there is also a strong safety aspect to this roadway.
Mike Mager, president and CEO of CAA Manitoba said, "There have been two or three deaths in the past couple of years on that stretch of the Trans-Canada (through Headingley). The reality is they have to fix it. Building the bypass will take some of the bigger trucks off the road."
He said current work on dividing the Trans-Canada through Headingley will also help.
Terry Shaw, general manager of the Manitoba Trucking Association, agreed the bypass will be a strong safety upgrade but it also means truckers will have an option.
"If for some reason there is an incident that limits access to one of those roads, industry does not have to shut down," Shaw said.

Development agencies have a lot to stay on top of these days. There are countless programmes to manage, monitor and evaluate, technological advancements to weave in and ever fragile and conflict-affected states to work in.
All the while they must 'do no harm' as they work to tackle the underlying causes of conflict and fragility, and be quick and flexible in their response to changing contexts.
As a report on conflict and fragility (pdf) by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development points out: "Donors can inadvertently do harm when the resources they deliver or the policy reforms they advocate exacerbate rather than mitigate the conditions for violent conflict, or they weaken rather than strengthen the state as a site of decision making and policy formation over the deployment of public resources."
But how can donor agencies manage their programmes in a way that avoids these unintended consequences, without slowing them down or costing too much?
In recent months, the UK's Department for International Development has set about answering that question. Project leads Pete Vowles and Tom Wingfield were tasked with reviewing DfID's programme management and delivery in complex and changing environments. The results, Vowels tells the Network, expose a need for more streamlined admin processes, better contextual decision-making and clearer audit trails.
The United States Agency for International Development has similar reviews each year to identify 'management challenges' in their programmes. Their most recent review called for better performance management, results reporting and programme implementation and training in "complex environments" such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Haiti.
So how can agencies turn recommendations into action? How can they ensure processes to streamline management won't compromise the quality of programme implementation on the ground? Join us on Thursday, 24 October, from 1-3pm BST, to encourage a dialogue where agencies can share their management successes – and failures – in challenging and fast-changing contexts.

Root and Flash Custom ROM on Motorola Milestone running Android 2.1
Please refer to Motorola Milestone Official Android 2.2 (Froyo) upgrade for updating your Motorola Milestone.
Recently, I have purchased Motorola Milestone mobile running Android 2.1. It was a nice device, however I was annoyed to see that it was lacking the Android market. Instead there was Motorola's Shop4Apps application which was fine but not as good as Android market was. It was also running the Chinese ROM and lots of applications were in Chinese which were no longer usable since I don't understand Chinese.
Finally, I have decided to take the risk and flash some other English version rom which can allow me to customize my device with the applications I understand and includes the Android Market also. Below is the post about the details how I flashed my Motorola Milestone with new rom:
Note: Before we start I would like to say that, these instructions will only work on Motorola Milestone (GSM version) not on Motorola Droid. I have browsed couple of websites and found number of posts explaining the process. Here I would be doing a drilldown of working one's from all of them.
Lets start now,
About the device
My Motorola Milestone was running Android 2.1 update 1 at the time of flashing. So these instructions will work on the devices having same configuration.
Required Utilities
To flash the device with custom rom, we would be requiring some tools and utilities.
1. OpenRecovery v1.14 – OpenRecovery is a nice and advanced utility above ADBRecovery which allows you to run your device in the recovery mode so that you can do nice thingy on devices such as rooting it, taking backup, restoring etc. Download Link
2. RSD Lite v4.6 – RSD Lite is used for flashing/upgrading or feature programming Motorola products. Download Link
3. Vulnerable Recovery SBF image – This is a little file which is essential for our process. The bootloader process in Motorola devices running Android is locked by Motorola so that in case of any firmware flashing over the device, it should be digitally signed by Motorola with company's digital signature. To overcome this limitation, we have to flash a vulnerable recovery image (SBF) to Motorola milestone to make the unrootable firmware, rootable. Download Link
4. Android SDK – Android SDK is required to install the USB drivers for the device and run some command via adb shell on our Milestone device. Download Link
5. Custom ROM – Finally, a custom rom which is EU rom in our case as the GSM bands of EU is equivalent to mine's. Download Link
Required Steps for Flashing Custom ROM on Motorola Milestone:
1. Install Android SDK – The first step would be to install the Android SDK on your local computer. Installing is simple, just extract the SDK archive in your local system say C:.
2. On your mobile, goto Settings->Applications->Development and enable USB Debugging.
3. To verify everything's working, connect your Milestone to the system using USB adapter. Install the Motorola USB drivers which come with the popup.
4. Open command prompt on local system and type following commands:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\ adb devices
You will see the output with the serial number of the device connected.
4. Install RSD Lite 4.6 on your computer.
5. Extract OpenRecovery v1.14 archive on your local computer. You will find a folder named OpenRecovery and update.zip. Copy these file and folder to the SD card root folder.
6. Turn off your phone. Don't unplug your Milestone from USB.
7. Run RSD Lite on your PC and wait…
8. Now, you have to start your mobile in bootloader mode. To do this, press UP key on your D-pad and then press Power button of your mobile until you see some text on the Phone screen like
BootLoader 90.73 Battery Ok. OK to install Connect USB ....
9. On your computer, in the RSD Lite application, browse and select the extracted vulnerable recovery SBF file and click Start. RSD Lite will start processing and you will see the message saying "Phone is rebooting". You have to keep pressing UP key on D-pad during this time so that you always gate the bootloader screen, not home screen of the mobile. RSD Lite will now show PASS message, which will complete the process of flashing the vulnerable recovery SBF image. Close the RSD Lite application and switch off your Milestone.
10. Now we have to start the Motorola Milestone device in recovery mode. This one is slightly complicated task to do. I have found lot of instructions saying, press camera button and power button but I was not able to get the recovery screen with that. At this situation, the Android SDK came handy and I was able to start the device with simple adb command. In command prompt, run the following command
adb reboot recovery
This command will start your device in recovery mode. (The recovery screen will have Exclamation mark in triangle.)
11. Now, we have to get the recovery menu on our Milestone. To get that, press VOLUME UP button with CAMERA button. This will show you the recovery menu with different items as shown below. Select the "Apply update.zip" item from menu. This will install OpenRecovery application on your device as shown in the second image. Switch off your device. We will again start the device in recovery mode. Repeat step 10 again. Now, again press VOLUME UP and CAMERA button at the same time to get the OpenRecovery menu.
12. Before we start flashing with our custom rom, it is good practice to backup everything so that we are able to restore our device in case something goes wrong. We will also root our device before taking the backup so that we don't have to do it again on our base image of the mobile. To do that, select "Root Phone" option from the menu. This will root the Milestone device. If you only want to root your device then you can stop from now because rest of the steps will deal with installing new rom.
13. To backup you Milestone image, select "Nandroid Backup" from the OpenRecovery menu. This will create and save your Milestone image into /sdcard/nandroid/adbrecovery/ folder. Select "Reboot System" from the menu to restart your Milestone.
14. After restart, open your command prompt and run the adb pull command to take backup of your mobile to your computer. The command is
adb pull /sdcard/nandroid/adbrecovery/<backup-name> c:\milestone-base\
In the above command, backup-name would be the name of the folder in which your images files are stored and milestone-base is a folder where we are copying that backup folder.
15. Once backup is complete, we are ready to put flash our milestone with custom rom. Extract the custom EU rom which we have downloaded earlier and copy the folder "BbcS-20100318-1808" to your Milestone's /sdcard/nandroid/adbrecovery folder under same name. We will do that using adb again but this time with adb push command. The command would be
adb push c:\BbcS-20100318-1808 /sdcard/nandroid/adbrecovery/BbcS-20100318-1808
16. After running this command successfully and copying all the files into sdcard, restart your mobile in the recovery mode again with following command
adb reboot recovery
17. Once Milestone is started in recovery mode, navigate to OpenRecovery menu by pressing VOLUME UP button with CAMERA button. On the OpenRecovery menu, we will first wipe all the data which we have earlier so that it doesn't interfere with the new rom. Run all wipe commands one by one i.e. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Data/ Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition from OpenRecovery menu.
18. Finally, now we can flash our Milestone with new EU rom. Select "Nandroid Restore" from the OpenRecovery menu and select the "BbcS-20100318-1808" folder for the path to get the restore images. This will flash the Milestone with the new rom. Once completed, also run "Root Phone" to root the new EU rom image also which will enable you to do more customization on the Milestone device.
Phew, Reboot your Milestone with Reboot System in OpenRecovery menu and now you can get the new EU Motorola Milestone device packed with Android market, Google applications and completely rooted so that you can overclock it any time you require.
Hope, this will save your time.

Was wondering if there is a long delay applying for NC CWP. If I already have my SC CWP, is there any benefit? Or do I have to take the NC course, pay the $$$$ and wait a long time.
I just got a job in NC and will be moving within the next month.
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide!

There is a residency requirement (I think it to be three months).
You will have to take the classes again (state wants its money). On average, the permit will cost $200. This includes the class and the state fees.
Dependant upon the county in which you will reside, you can have your permit back in as little as a month, or up to 90 days.
Most sheriff offices require references of three people not related to you (preferably within the county where you are applying).
The nice part is that our permit is honored by 30 some states, and that the permit can be used in lieu of a buyers permit when purchasing handguns, and negates the need of the NICS call when purchasing long guns.
Here is a link that outlines a majority of the laws concerning carry.
"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in ... And how many want out." British Prime Minister Tony Blair
one question to ask is whether the CWP can be used in lieu of the pistol purchase permit ... i don't know the answer, but it's a worthwhile question.
It took me ~4 months to get my permit in Franklin County. After 3 and a half months I called to inquire about it, and then it showed up in about a week and a half.
avi8tor, depending on what part of NC your job is in, you might find it beneficial to live in SC. I worked in Charlotte for the last 6 years, but lived across the line in SC. If you are going to be working in the Charlotte area, shoot me a PM and we can chat.
NC's CCH class is fundamentally different from SC. NC spends a lot of time on the actual use of deadly force. SC seems to be interested in the mechanics of shooting safely. Between the two is a pretty good program.
How long it takes to get a CCH permit depends upon your county's sheriff. A brief and friendly call to the relevant sheriff's office will clear up any number of questions.
Signature? What signature.
The time varies in NC for CCH permits to be issued. Not long compared to SC. Recommend that you give a COPY of your SC CWP permit to the local Sheriff's office. Probably less than a month for the permit to be issued. Call the Sheriff's office and see what and any additional paper work they require. My son is military and the sheriff wanted a letter form his CO recommending him. Also, a letter from the base doctor stating he had no mental or medical problems. Some Sheriff's want you to come in for an interview.
There is no "fixed" cost for a course in NC. Probably $100 to $120 for the course. Then around $80 to the Sheriff's office of the county that you will be living in and applying in. Maybe, they will charge you for the finger prints? Doubt it. The completion of the course gives you a serialized certificate that you give to the Sheriff as proof of training.
In SC the CWP instructor is given a set of guidelines and the SC CWP test and told by SLED to write the course they will teach. It is sent to SLED and they approve or disaprove the course. Of course, you have to meet other certification requirements. As a result, the courses in SC can stress different areas; however, they must teach all SLED's basic requirements.
In NC you can teach your own course like SC (NC DOJ must approve course) or teach the MODEL course that NC will give you (the instructor). As a result most folks teach the NC model course. I teach it. Same in NC as you have to meet other certification requirements.
Hope this haven't confused you.

Military uniform factory discovered in Kabul
Military uniform factory discovered in Kabul
KABUL(PAN): Afghan police have discovered a large military uniform-making factory in the Parwane Du area of Kabul, the Ministry of Interior said on Tuesday.
Ministry spokesman Ghulam Seddiq Sadiqi told a press conference that bundles of military uniforms were recovered from the factory, which was illegally operating in the capital.
Police arrested two individuals and seized 222 magazine holsters, garments used for military uniform, eight sewing machines and different types of materials.
Factory workers might have links to anti-government fighters, he suggested, saying that it was yet to be known where the items were imported from. An investigation has been launched.
Following an insurgent attack on the Ministry of Defence on April 21, the government banned sales of military uniform and other equipment in the market.
A suicide attacker in a military uniform attacked the Ministry of Defence, killing two soldiers and wounding seven others. The dead included a senior defence official.
Anyone defying the ban would be punished, Kabul police chief, Brig. Gen. Mohammad Ayub Salangi, told a news conference. After the ban was imposed, police collected the uniforms sold illegally at different shops.

Kate Hudson & Baby Bingham: Shopping Buddies
Posted Tuesday March 20, 2012 6:56 PM GMT
Browsing through cosmetics, Kate Hudson was spotted shopping with her son in London on Tuesday (March 20).
With little Bingham on her hip, the "How to Lose A Guy In 10 Days" actress tried on a few products as she made her way through the store wearing a light sweater, jeans and brown boots.
Hudson still hasn't addressed the marriage rumors that her mother, Goldie Hawn, started during a Brit interview in which she referred to her daughter as "married".
Hawn, though, has since taken to Twitter to say the tabloid had twisted her words and that her daughter was not married to fiance Matthew Bellamy.
Enjoy the photos of Kate Hudson shopping for cosmetics with her son, Bingham (March 20).

Commercial toilet installation
Looking to become proficient in commercial toilet installation at the plant. I'm in maintenance and have advised management to remodel restrooms to more modern toilets and faucets etc. and want to research these skills but don't know where to find info.
You need to look at Sloan's website and read some of their literature. Commercial toilets with flushometers are easy to install when after the first one. Kurby is another manufacture you can look into.
Commercial toilet install
Thanks for the info
The term "commercial" is misleading. The only required difference I have seen between commercial and residential, as far as toilets, is the seat having an open front. Using Metered flush valves (Sloan valves) and heavy duty commodes is cost efficent as far as maintenance goes. I, personally, prefer wall mount for heavy use since cleaning the floor is much easier and the dirty water isn't "mopped" all over the base.

HELLO i just got this player (not sure if it was a mistake) and ripped A movie of mine to ISO with a DVD to ISO program and put it on my SATA drive played it with player and it was super choppy and video was weird and it didn't show menu options or play movie! so i tried using dvd descrypter and it does not open the ISO! I am frustrated because the website says that the player plays demanding formats including ISO's flawlessly! if any one can help me that would grand! ps;I follow instructions very well and usually can figure this kind of thing out. happy for any replies!
I have this player in my bedroom and I've had not problems / issues playing my DVD and Blu-Ray Rips from my network (wired) as well as a USB Connected Drive. Maybe its the rip itself? Can you play it on something else and see if you have the same issue?
Denon AVR-X7200 - Klipsch RF-82 II Fronts, RC-62 II Center, RS-52 II Surrounds & R-112SW & Four CDT-5800-C II Ceilings for an Atmos 5.1.4 Setup.
it doesn't play in vlc player either. idk what i did wrong, maybe i ripped it wrong what program do u use for ripping?
I use DVD Fab and so far I've had great luck with it with a few exceptions (Like Catching Fire) but they usually work these things out pretty quickly. I usually only rip out the main movies and that is about it.
Also I have a Sound Bar that does not support DTS so I even convert the Audio Track to AC3 / 5.1 during the ripping / copying process and again I've had great luck with it.
There are many, many solutions out there that people are using successfully, I went for DVD Fab as I've been using their DVD Copying for many years without an issue.
Denon AVR-X7200 - Klipsch RF-82 II Fronts, RC-62 II Center, RS-52 II Surrounds & R-112SW & Four CDT-5800-C II Ceilings for an Atmos 5.1.4 Setup.
so you can successfully play ISO files off of a drive with the menu and everything? or just the movie file mp4,mkv,avi etc...
As I said I only rip out the main movie, I don't bother with all of the menus / additional "Bonus Footage" that can take up a huge amount of space and I usually will watch it just once if at all. So I can't comment on that at all since I've never done it... I am not even sure if the Micca Player supports Menus or not. Not many players do and even the ones that do (from what I hear) run in to issues on a regular basis due to the protection schemes.
That said with DVD Fab I am using a single button to rip out the main movie of my Blu-Rays and it will then create an ISO File that I play off my network or a directly attached drive to my Micca and Mede8er Players. I've actually had better results with the Micca Player in some cases. The Mede8er does not like a certain encoding that some studios do, in that case I need to convert the ISO file to an MKV file which resolved the issue I was having on Movies like Enders Game and The Lorax. This was with the same file, didn't have to Rip It Again so it is an issue with the Mede8er Player with a certain encoding.

thank you for your help! I can play the ISO... (i dont know if i should create a new thread) but when i first got the player after like a few times of playing movies (mp4 mkv avi) its been stopping after like 20 seconds between playback on any video from bad quality AVI's to high 1080p MP4's (not that AVI's are always bad quality) and i get the message: io playback error. can you help?

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - The Northern Arizona University men's and women's cross country teams will be in action at the Big Sky Cross Country Championships Saturday in Pocatello, Idaho.
"Our goal is to come away with two Big Sky championships," said Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Eric Heins. "Hopefully our men can make some history by winning their fifth in a row, and we'd really like our women to get back to their winning ways and contend for a title as well."
The conference meet, hosted by Idaho State for the first time since 2002, has been a point of strength for both Lumberjack teams for the past two decades. The NAU men have won 15 of the last 18 Big Sky Championships, and the women have won 14 of the last 20.
The Lumberjack men would set a Big Sky record for consecutive team victories if they came away with the 2011 crown. NAU holds the current record of four straight wins, having accomplished the feat twice (1998-2001; 2007-10). Additionally, if a Lumberjack male runner wins the individual title, NAU will break its own record of six consecutive individual championships, dating back to 2005.
The meet will be held at the Idaho State Cross Country Course, with the women's 5K beginning at 9 a.m. Arizona time, followed by the men's 8K at 10 a.m.
Here is an overview of who will be competing for the Lumberjacks this Saturday in Idaho.

Mobile Telepresence Robot Ensures Employees Never Miss A Meeting
Cisco and iRobot have developed the Ava 500, which could enable remote workers to participate in meetings and presentations.
Cisco and iRobot have developed the Ava 500 robot, a device that blends autonomous navigation and telepresence to enable remote workers to participate in meetings and presentations. They can meet with colleagues in an office setting or take part in a tour.
The 21.5″ HD resolution screen on top of a mobile robotics platform enables freedom of movement, location spontaneity and the embodiment of a user potentially thousands of miles away. Controlled using an iPad, Ava 500 allows employees to see a remote person face-to-face.
Users can select their destination by tapping a location on a map or choosing a specific room or employee. An available robot is then activated so they can go where they want. When the session is complete, the Ava 500 automatically returns to its charging station.
The robot could cut down on a company's carbon footprint by having employees travel less. It is due to be available from select Cisco partners in early 2014. iRobot and Cisco will be exhibiting and demonstrating the robot at the InfoComm 2013 Conference and Expo from June 12-14th in Orlando, Florida.

Lisha Kill Natural Area Slideshow
Welcome to the Lisha Kill Natural Area. Through this forest runs the Lisha Kill, a stream approximately one-mile in length, as well as tributary streams. "Kill" is a Dutch word meaning "stream."
Frogs, like the one shown here, can be found in the Fly Kill, a tributary of the Lisha Kill.
This preserve features a guided audio tour in which guests use their Smartphones to scan the QR codes along the trail. Download the audio tour.
This hemlock dominated forest community has unique characteristics. It provides dense shade and a cooler microclimate, which favors a different suite of plants and animals than those normally found in broadleaf forests.
Some of the more common plants seen here include flowering wild strawberry (shown), sarsaparilla, self-heal, speedwell, fly honeysuckle, Jack-in-the-Pulpit and skunk cabbage.
A favorite resting spot among visitors is the bench along the Lisha Kill. Visitors like to take a few minutes to enjoy the beautiful and peaceful surroundings found here.
The rounded rocks seen in the Kill and all through the natural area are evidence of this region's glacial past. Many of these rocks originated to the north and were carried south and eventually deposited by receding glaciers.
By the end of the summer, the ostrich ferns found along the streams here will be over the heads of lots of people. These ferns grow between 4 and 6 feet tall.
Visitors, especially those here with young children, may want to get their hands wet and dirty in the stream and look for crayfish and other critters hiding underneath the rocks.

UNITED NATIONS, (Xinhua): The UN Security Council on Monday called for greater efforts to tackle underlying root causes of conflicts so as to support efforts in preventing clashes and in peace-building across Africa.
Rwanda, who holds the monthly presidency of the 15-member council, said in a presidential statement, "The security council recognizes the importance of a comprehensive strategy comprising operational and structural measures for prevention of armed conflict and encourages the development of measures to address the root-causes of conflicts in order to ensure sustainable peace."
The presidential statement was adopted after a general debate on preventing conflicts in Africa, which was presided over by Rwanda's Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo.
In the statement, the Security Council stressed that the council's primary role is to support UN member states in preventing conflict, and reaffirmed the importance of a broad range of efforts.
While emphasizing that national governments are first responsible for preventing conflicts, the statement said "actions undertaken within the framework of conflict prevention by United Nations entities should be designed to support and complement, as appropriate, the conflict prevention roles of national governments."
Rwanda earlier on Monday blocked the adoption of a non-binding statement that recommended the International Criminal Court (ICC) as part of a solution to resolving African conflicts.
However, the statement said the council "reaffirms its strong opposition to impunity for serious violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law, and emphasizes in this context the responsibility of States to comply with their relevant obligations to end impunity."
The presidential statement also raised awareness to the importance of protecting children in armed conflict, the role of women in peace-building and the critical role of UN peacekeeping operations.

Citation: Undurraga, S.F., Santos, M.P., Paez-Valencia, J., Yang, H., Hepler, P.K., Facanha, A.R., Hirschi, K.D., Gaxiola, R.A. 2012. Arabidopsis sodium dependent and independent phenotypes triggered by H+-PPase up-regulation are SOS1 dependent. Plant Science. 183:96-105. Interpretive Summary: Improved yield requires that crop plants grow in a variety of soil conditions and maintain robust growth. The movement of noxious metals and salts within plant cells are tightly regulated. Our findings here demonstrate that one particular transporter that was previously thought to only move sodium is also required for a large subset of growth and development events. These insights provide new elements to understanding the mechanisms that regulate salt tolerance, root growth, mineral nutrition and transport activities. Future work should broadly examine the substrate specificity and this transporter and also may lead to means of engineering plants that have both improved salt tolerance and more biomass.
Technical Abstract: The goal of the study and research was to coordinate regulation of transporters at both the plasma membrane and vacuole contribute to plant cell's ability to adapt to a changing environment and play a key role in the maintenance of the chemiosmotic circuits required for cellular growth. In this study, the plasma membrane (PM) Na+/H+ antiporter (SOS1) is involved in salt tolerance, presumably in sodium extrusion; the vacuolar type I H+-PPase AVP1 is involved in vacuolar sodium sequestration, but its overexpression has also been shown to alter the abundance and activity of the PM H+-ATPase. We studied and investigated the relationship between these transporters utilizing loss-offunction mutants of SOS1 (sos1) and increased expression of AVP1 (AVP1OX). We observed that heightened expression of AVP1 enhances pyrophosphate-dependent proton pump activity, salt tolerance, ion vacuolar sequestration, K+ uptake capacity, root hair development, osmotic responses, and PM ATPase hydrolytic and proton pumping activities. The results showed that in sos1 lines overexpressing AVP1, these phenotypes are negatively affected demonstrating that sos1 is epistatic to AVP1. The conclusion is that enhanced AVP1 protein levels require SOS1 and this regulation appears to be post-translational.

According to Reuters, Japan Display will start producing OLED panels by 2018 in order to catch up to LG and Samsung. The timing seems to be more than just a coincidence since we could see AMOLED screened iPhones start rolling out during the same year. This news comes with a possible blockbuster deal looming in the background.
As we told you the other day, both Foxconn and Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (INCJ) are looking to purchase Sharp. The Japanese electronics firm also has a display business that supplies Apple. Since INCJ already owns part of Japan Display, if it can purchase Sharp and merge its display business with Japan Display, the latter will become a much larger producer of smartphone displays..
Since AMOLED screens don't require backlighting, an Apple iPhone using such a display could be thinner. Apple might use the extra space to provide the device with a larger capacity battery. Already, there is talk that the Apple iPhone 7 will eliminate the 3.5mm earphone jack in order to squeeze in a longer-lasting power plant, and to offer a thinner design.
Currently, the iPhone uses an IPS LCD panel.

I've never felt as confident as I do now. I like my eyes, my height, my shoulders, my smile – I have enormous teeth, like a show pony. I don't even mind my hair, even though it's receding and thinning a bit. The only part of me I don't love is my tummy – it could be flatter. It's taken a long time to like what I see. At 37, I'm confident and don't have any hang-ups. I tell young people I meet: one day, you'll wake up and will have figured out who you are. For me, it comes from being happy – and grateful for everything I have.
How you feel inside affects how you look. If I'm having a bad day, Post-it notes on the mirror, listing everything you've got going for you, really help. I've come to terms with ageing. I'm going to look like my dad one day, an Asian version of Penfold from Danger Mouse, only tall and gangly. I hope my hair turns salt-and-pepper grey, as it looks pretty sexy. But I know one day I'll be white. I have spent my life in a state of metamorphosis: I've been too fat, too thin and everything in between. Both were illnesses, but the anorexia was harder to deal with. It's under control now.
I try to look after myself for health reasons. I'm not disciplined. I'm a pescatarian, but occasionally eat a bit of duck. I drink regularly, and love a blow-out once a week with friends, and smoke 20 a day – but I'm going to stop this year. It's hard: both industries I work in, fashion and TV, enjoy their booze.

Published: November 1, 2013 - 01:21 PM
SOUTHFIELD, MICH.: General Motors and Ford reported U.S. auto sales gains for October as demand recovered following the 16-day government shutdown and remained on pace for the best year since 2007.
Sales of cars and light trucks rose 16 percent at GM, 14 percent at Ford and 11 percent at Chrysler Group LLC.
The results compared with analysts' average estimates for increases of 7.9 percent for GM, 16 percent for Ford and 14 percent for Chrysler in a survey by Bloomberg News.
Gains at Toyota, Honda and Nissan trailed estimates.
Showroom traffic and sales accelerated after Congress and President Barack Obama agreed to fund the government and lift the debt limit Oct. 17, automakers said.
Automakers came within 6,000 deliveries of 13 million through the year's first 10 months. Annual sales failed to cross that threshold in the three years through 2011.
"We're seeing the resiliency of the consumer yet again," said Michelle Krebs, an analyst at auto researcher Edmunds.com. "While we saw a little bit of slowdown during the shutdown, it picked right back up. We're expecting a strong close and then a strong 2014."
Sales of cars and light trucks climbed 11 percent to 1.21 million, trailing the 1.22 million average of nine estimates in the Bloomberg survey. The annualized industry sales rate, adjusted for seasonal trends, rose to 15.2 million, missing the 15.4 million average estimate of 14 analysts. The sales pace was 14.4 million a year earlier.
Deliveries for GM rose at all four brands, led by Buick's 31 percent gain. Sales of the Silverado and Sierra large pickups increased 10 percent and 13 percent, respectively. The Detroit company this week posted third-quarter profit that beat estimates on demand for the redesigned Silverado truck, Impala sedan and Cadillac cars.
"What's going on in Washington does have an impact at the margin, but it's more like what we've seen with oil prices in recent years," Mustafa Mohatarem, GM's chief economist, said Friday on a conference call. "It may change people's perspective on exactly when to pull the trigger on buying a new vehicle, which is a major purchase."
Ford's Fusion sedan sales climbed 71 percent to 21,740. The Dearborn, Mich., automaker has gained share in the mid-size car market, long dominated by Toyota's Camry, the top seller for the segment and among all passenger cars.
"What we saw early in the month was some softness, but we were very encouraged when we saw the retail demand in the industry bounce back," John Felice, Ford's vice president of U.S. marketing, sales and service, said on a conference call.
Toyota sales climbed 8.8 percent, missing the 13 percent average estimate of six analysts. The Japan company delivered 29,144 Camrys in October, down 2.6 percent. Sales of the car through the year's first 10 months rose 1 percent to 348,134, while Fusion was up 20 percent to 248,033.
Chrysler, majority-owned by Fiat SpA of Italy, reported its first 579 sales for the Cherokee sport-utility vehicle, which originally was supposed to begin deliveries months earlier.
"After a choppy start to the beginning of the month, Chrysler Group sales accelerated in the second half of the month with renewed consumer confidence and the launch of our all-new Jeep Cherokee," Reid Bigland, head of U.S. sales for the Auburn Hills, Mich.-based automaker, said in a statement.
Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne is introducing redesigned SUVs including Cherokee and the Dodge Durango, featured in co-branded ads for the movie Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, to extend Chrysler's sales-gain streak beyond 3½ years.
Durango monthly sales rose 59 percent to 5,120. Actor Will Ferrell starred in 70 television and online promotions for the new Durango and Paramount Pictures' Anchorman 2, which features him as the character Ron Burgundy and will be released Dec. 20. Chrysler said the SUV's campaign generated more than 7 million views as of Oct. 30.
"Consumers showed resiliency in October with steady auto sales despite headwinds caused by the government shutdown," Bill Fay, group vice president of Toyota brand sales, said in an emailed statement.
Deliveries rose 7.1 percent for Honda and 14 percent for Nissan. The automakers trailed the average estimates of six analysts for gains of 12 percent by Honda and 17 percent by Nissan.
Hyundai and affiliate Kia's combined deliveries advanced 0.6 percent, missing the 2.8 percent average estimate of six analysts. The Korean-based carmakers have trailed the industrywide sales pace each month since September 2012.
Volkswagen reported an 11 percent decline in combined October sales for its VW and Audi brands. That trailed the 3.3 percent gain that was the average of three estimates.
VW deliveries, which plunged 18 percent to 28,129 in October, risk missing the company's 2018 U.S. sales target by 33 percent, IHS Automotive estimates.
The goal for 800,000 sales in the market is part of a broader aim to become the world's biggest automaker in the same time frame.
