|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Celtics have seized their late-season opportunity to grab hold of the Eastern Conference's No. 2 seed. With a 105-98 win over the Heat Friday night, the Celts have won six straight games, and now lead the Magic by two games with three left to play.
Paul Pierce helped ensure the C's second straight 60-win season with a team-high 28 points to go with eight rebounds. Rajon Rondo also helped out, finishing with a rare double-double that doesn't include his point total (seven points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists).
Dwyane Wade led the Heat with a game-high 31 points to go with nine assists. He's had an incredible season and the Heat wouldn't even be close to the playoffs without him, but it's likely the MVP award will go to LeBron James or Kobe Bryant, who are both on 60-win teams.
Ray Allen pitched in 21 points (4-8 from 3pt land) and Glen Big Baby Davis 22 points and eight rebounds, starting again for the injured Kevin Garnett. The Celtics have been without KG for 19 of their last 23 games, yet are in line to grab the No. 2 seed.
The Celtics now cannot get the East's No. 1 seed after the Cavs won Friday night. But, at the No. 2 seed, the first round opponent could be a number of teams including the Pistons, Bulls, or 76ers, so seeding in the first round wont matter. The home court advantage against the Cavs? Yeah, that would have been pretty important considering Cleveland is 38-1 at home this year…
Anyway, the Celtics next face the Cavs in Cleveland Sunday afternoon, which should be a huge test.

Possibly too big or a carb for 350?
I have a Holley 750 duel line street dominator on my 1981 Camaro with a pretty much stock 350 with a small cam and Edelbrock intake and headers. When I rev it up fast it sputters and backfires, and when I rev it up slowly it does it after i let off of it. It does need a new header gasket on the drivers side, has a rip, could that be the problem?
Yep, it could be the issue. If you use paper header gaskets soak them in water 24 hours before you use them. This makes them swell and hold moisture. But the best tip is use stock replacement small block chevy exhaust manifold gaskets, these are made of meshed steel and don`t burn out easy. They are also slotted so you can just drop them in without removing the header bolts. After you get your header gaskets fixed and if the problem persists it`s likely in the tune. Get back with us once you have the headers back in order.
OK, thanks Ill do that tomorrow after work.
what kind of ignition do you have and what condition is it in. Have you taken the cap off of the dist. and checked the rotor and looked for cracks in the cap. have you looked at the wires, what kind of condition are they in ? check things out, tell us what you have done so we'll know where your at.
The ignition system is practically new, hei, new wires and plugs, inside of cap and rotor is very clean with no cracks or damage. Has a Holley "RED" fuel pump with a fuel cell.
Yep, a 750 is too big for a 350 without lots of mods. Use this formula to calculate a good size
Size=CIDxRPM/3456xVE **
Size = 405 CFM !!!!!
Of course this isn't real life nor realistic, but it does show that you are way over carbed. Your almost stock 350 just doesn't have enough in the way of being a vacuum pump to make this carb efficient in allowing enough air into it and atomizing the fuel/air mixture well enough. Of course, good heads, a 'big' cam, a few more cubic inches could make this carb work - at higher rpm's, that is :D .
**CID = Cubic inc displacement
RPM = Revs per minute
3456 = a standard constant
VE = Volumetric Efficiancy (.80 or 80 percent is very good for a stock or mildly modified engine)
The biggest carb I would use on this engine would be a 600cfm and when modified, a 650cfm might work well. If you need a perspective, my old F350 with a 460 engine had as OEM, ~a 500cfm Holley. I tried a 780 Holley, but it ran best with a 600 cfm unit, either a Holley 0-1850 or later, an Edelbrock.
Exhaust gaskets wont make an engine run that badly, just sound crappy. Of course, ignition systems if set up "off" will and electric fuel pumps set at too high or low pressure can cause big problems. One question - GM's use full manifold vacuum - do you have it plumbed there? Ported vacuum will not allow enough initial advance (Ford's are opposite and use ported)
how is a 750 too big when stock Q jets are 750 and 800 cfm
and used on all the v-8s and even on 1985 4.3L engines
maybe you mean its jetted too much
but not too much CFM
I had a Q-jet lying around and swapped that on there and the sputtering and backfiring went away, but unless I rev it up pretty high it just fires up revs up a few hundred rpms over idle and then dies. When its dying I can't do anything about it even if I touch the gas pedal. It does run fine when i have the throttle open a good bit. Maybe the carb just needs to be rebuilt? The advance was ran off the carb, but after everything Ive heard I think Ill run it off the manifold.
1 Attachment(s)
The primaries on Quadrajets are tiny in comparison, allowing a nice airflow through. The secondaries are huge and only open as demand increases. Holleys have large primary and secondaries to make up their cfm ratings. As far as operational design - apples and oranges
Take a look at the attached picture of a generic M4MC Q-jet. Sorry about the quality. Here's pretty good site about them as well - take a look at their first statement on Design :http://www.carburetor.ca/carbs/tech/...jet-index.html
I rebuilt the Holley after all, it was pretty gummed up and dirty, I also put new gaskets on and set the carb and now the problems have went away. Thanks for all the help.

Monna D.wrote a review of Outdoor Research Puebla Sensor Gloves - Women's on January 28, 2014
Sensor pads do not work
Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Very disappointed. They are very cute but the Sensor pads do not work at all on my I phone 4S and that is why I ordered them. Will definitely be returning them. Will look for a pair that has the sensor fabric sewn on. Way to expensive for the technology not to work.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Westchester County Executive and Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino compared living in New York state under Gov. Andrew Cuomo with a prison sentence, according to the Albany Times-Union.
Astorino made the comments during a a radio show, saying that everyone "just counts the days until you leave" the state, the Times-Union said.
Astorino has been attacking New York's poor economic outlook since officially kicking off his campaign. His first televised campaign ad took Cuomo to task because of the low ranking New York receives in several economic categories.

Feel like Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings missed the point of what was really going on in Middle-earth?
Ever imagine that Walking with Dinosaurs didn't tell you everything you needed to know about palaeontology?
Was Game of Thrones not quite as titillating as you'd been brought to expect?
Could the ending of Harry Potter have been somehow more satisfying?
If you answered yes to any of the above, fear not. The literary works of Christie Sims are at hand to satisfy your mythological/beastophile curiosities.
Here's the author – via her amazon biography page - on her life and work so far:
"Hi! I'm just a plain old, everyday Midwestern girl that lives a normal life. However, while my outward tastes are relatively simple, my inner thoughts are filled with lusty thoughts of big, strong, powerful monsters having their way with beautiful maidens.
"Almost all of my stories fall under the Monster Sex genre, and come from the inner desires that spring from my mind."

Understanding and managing laryngospasms
Symptoms of Laryngospasm vary from person to person however most people describe it with any of the following descriptions. This is how managing laryngospasms works.
According to Edward C. Rosenow III, M.D. with the Mayo clinic, Laryngospasm (luh-RING-go-spaz-um) is a brief spasm of the vocal cords that temporarily makes it difficult to speak or breathe. With words like brief and temporary if actually sounds quite innocuous. For those who experience it however it is nothing less than terrifying.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night terrified. Your throat feels as though it is closing up and you are choking. Some people describe it as if you are drowning. Or perhaps you start to cough and instead of the coughing spell ending, all of a sudden your throat closes up and you feel as though you are gasping for air and breathing through the tiniest of tubes. That is what a laryngospasm feels like. I cannot imagine any greater fear than not being able to breathe. The larynx is the pathway to your lungs and is ever so important. It is not something you want to have spasm.
Also See: This breathing technique could control asthma
The larynx is the area in the neck that contains your vocal cords. It is approximately 2 inches long and is located below your pharynx and above your trachea. We use it to breathe, talk, and swallow. It is protected by the Adam's apple. As you inhale, air goes into the nose and or mouth, then through the larynx, down to the trachea, and then into the lungs. The openings of the esophagus (food tube) and the larynx are in close proximity in the throat. When you swallow, the epiglottis closes off the larynx to keep food out of the windpipe and in your esophagus where it belongs. When everything works as it should it is a marvelous process. Air goes in from the atmosphere and into lungs and back out. You can speak through air passing through your vocal cords. However if you have a spasm in your larynx it can be terrifying. You cannot speak. You cannot swallow. You are unable to "catch your breath".
Don't Miss: Nasal Spray Decongestant Do's and Don'ts You Need to Know
Symptoms of Laryngospasm
The symptoms vary from person to person however most people describe it with any of the following descriptions:
- Abrupt and swift onset. No warning.
- Typically, it lasts less than 60 seconds, however it feels much, much longer when it occurs.
- Occurs anytime (day or night) but is most noticeable when eating and something feels like it "went down the wrong way". It causes a feeling of choking.
- May occur in the middle of the night, causing you to be awakened unable to breathe.
There are many theories. Here are the more common causes:
GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease)
Even small amounts of exposure to gastric acid may cause significant laryngeal damage. It can result in hoarseness, increased coughing, increased throat clearing and laryngospasm. Individuals with Gastroesophageal reflux disease may benefit from adopting the following habits:
- No eating within two - three hours of bedtime or lying down to rest.
- Sleep on your left side may prevent food from pressing on the opening to your esophagus.
- Lose weight if you are overweight.
- Elevate the head of your bed using blocks of at least 6 inches.
- Avoid overeating.
- Reduce fatty, fried, spicy, or acidic foods.
- Reduce caffeine, carbonated beverages and alcohol.
- Stop smoking.
Nerve damage
Nerve injury can occur either from a surgical procedure such as removal of your thyroid or from complications with anesthesia or tracheal intubation. Being on a ventilator via an endo-tracheal tube in your throat for greater than 10 days increases your risk.
Because of the inflammation and swelling that is common during the flu laryngospasms can occur. In February 2005, Pope John Paul II was hospitalized after a bout with the flu with a larynospasm. Papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said the decision to have the 84-year-old Pontiff admitted to hospital was "mainly precautionary". He added: "The flu condition that has afflicted the Holy Father for the past three days deteriorated with an acute laryngospasm." So if the Pope can suffer from it because of having the flu, it is safe to say anyone can.
Other theories as to causes include exposure to cold, anxiety and panic attacks, allergies and others.
After evaluating subjectively what your symptoms are and what makes them worse a physical evaluation needs to be done. A through exam is necessary that includes a fiber-optic exam to view your larynx and vocal chords. Some doctors will request a pulmonary function test as well to evaluate your pulmonary status. A Sleep study to see how you breathe at night might be helpful. An endoscopic exam to evaluate your esophagus may sometimes be done as well. The treatment plan will depend upon the cause.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|As soon as I read the first post, I had a suspicion that the dog had allergies. May I ask what the results were of the tests? I have a dog that has allergies too and has been that way since the day I brought her home.
I had a severely allergic dog. I would look into going raw for the food. This helped tremendously. Once you have her on raw look into a high dose/therapeutic dose of a good quality fish oil. It is a natural anti inflammatory. Along with vitamin c. There is a member on here that can help you wih treating homeopathically. Ill look for her name and pm you.
Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App
Well she had to go for tests the other day. Results back yesterday. She has an array of allergies, which means she can only eat dry hypoallergenic food.
She is on alot of medication aswell to calm down the skin. Any idea's on how i can give her them? She cant have any food except that, and the hypo=allergenic dog treats she wont take with the tablets.
i would try another Vet. i would also give my dog
a bath usuing some medicated shampoo. i would check
the ingredients of what i was feeding.
I'm sorry to hear about your dog. I always hate it when I see my dog suffer and there is nothing I can do. Have you maybe thought of trying a different vet, don't tell them this but they're not always right.
But here is a link to a website I found that might help or give you some more ideas as to what could be wrong.
Dog Hair Loss - How to Diagnose, Treat and Prevent
I can't give any medical advice. But, if it were me, I'd be back at the vet office. I would insist on a full blood work-up, including thyroid panel.
There's no telling if its allergies, mange, hormonal imbalance or another condition. (It looks like it would hurt as well...poor thing! )
IMO, if you aren't happy with that vet or his diagnoses, I would suggest going to another.
Just a suggestion. Kat
Black / Tan shepherd loosing her fur
So 2 months ago, my dog within 3 days, lost all her fur on her right side, at the back just by her leg. The skin underneath her body, was extremely red, so i rushed her to my vets, i told him that she was constantly scratching and biting herself. His first response was " Its flea's " I told him i doubt that as i de-flea her every month. He soaked a white cloth and ran it along her 22 times, until he finally admitted it probably wernt flea's but still gave me de-fle stuff.
1 week later ( 0 improvement ) - He says its probably a mange, So he pescribes her antibiotics, steroids, a special shampoo and gives her a mange thing.
3 weeks later ( Still no improvement ) - he gives me antihistamines aswell
This week - Hair is finally growing back, itch has completely gone, aswell as red marks.
Two days ago - My dog starting to lose of her white fur by her tail, and starts loosing hair. I put this down to shedding. Her behaviour seems off. She is wanting to be stroked, she is licking me, and actually want me to go near her. ( Normally she hates being stroked or touched )
Today - I wake up to find my entire downstairs covered in hair. I find my dog, all the white fur by her tail is almost completly gone, and underneath where the white fur was reveals red skin ( again ). I then notice she is developing bald spots all over.
Her underneath ( Belly ) Is perfectly fine, no redness.
I have booked an emergency appointment with my vets again. Im looking her for idea's. As i think it may be an allergy, but he says its not and i should let him be the vet.
-Her diet hasnt changed since she was 6 months old.
-She turned 1, on december the 3rd. She got these problems at 8 months.
- No changes to her routine, apart from this week she hasnt been out due to me being ill.
- She doesn't interact with other dogs, or other animals.
I forgot to mention, she is extremely flaky. I stroke her, and mass fur comes out, and if i scratch her, i get covered in white flaky skin
http://i47.tinypic.com/14ce5o9.jpg ( Taken today, first time i have ever seen under her white fur )
http://i49.tinypic.com/ei9h5s.jpg ( Other side, again taken today )
http://i45.tinypic.com/90sm8h.jpg ( This is her fur now )
Sorry for bad quality, i live alone, and its hard to get her to let me look, since whenever i touch around the area's. She gets distressed.
* This picture is of her, 1 week before any of these problems began *

2004 Mercedes-Benz S500 4MATIC Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2004 Mercedes-Benz S500 4MATIC based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The door for the vanity mirror (or the frame for the door) can break; due to a redesign, the mirror "cassette" will need replacement.
The engine may develop a stalling and/or no start condition due to a failed crankshaft position sensor.
The evaporator temperature sensor can fail, causing the AC compressor not to cycle. If the AC compressor does not turn on, the AC system will not blow cold air. If the compressor is stuck on, the air will be very cold at first, before warming up.
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential.
An engine Oil leak may develop from the PCV vent housing on the valve cover and/or the inspection plate on the front of the engine.
High mileage or older vehicles commonly develop leaks from the differential seals and/or cover. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit whenever these leaks are repaired.
It is not uncommon to encounter premature failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend flushing the brake fluid every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
Due to the size and material used on the brakes of these vehicles, the brakes may start to squeak around the 50 percent wear point. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge of the rotor. Because of this, the rotors are usually replaced when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
Front thrust arm and control arm bushings can crack and sometimes tear completely. If this is not repaired quickly, damage to the front subframe unit will occur, which is very expensive to repair. Updated control arms (that prevent damage to the subframe when the bushings wear out) are available.
The center console armrest can break. Replacement is commonly the recommended repair.
Analog Tele Aid units are no longer supported and must be updated to digital, preferably at a dealership or a well-equipped independent shop. The update and all related factors should be completed at the same time.
The rubber bond in the harmonic balancer can decay, which causes the balancer to move and work its way toward the timing cover. If the balancer comes into contact with the timing cover while the engine is running, it will fracture and damage the cover and potentially other surrounding parts. The harmonic balancer should be inspected at every service.
The electrical connector at the automatic transmission may leak fluid into the wiring harness. If not repaired, the oil will migrate through the wiring harness and damage the transmission control module. A new harness and control module may be necessary to correct this problem.
CD changers, command units, voice control units, PSE units, and Tele Aid units are prone to failure, especially in early models.

Homelessness by Geographic Type
Interactive Tool | April 15, 2010
On July 14, 2009, the Alliance released the first in a series of briefs about the distribution of the homeless population across five distinct geographic types - urban, mostly urban, rural, mostly rural, and urban-rural mix. The report established the distribution of the total homeless population across those categories. While the distribution at the national level is overwhelmingly urban, there is wide variation across states. The following interactive map identifies the distribution of the homeless population for each of the 50 states. To facilitate this, the categories have been reduced to three - urban, rural, and urban-rural mix - by combing the urban and mostly urban categories as well as the rural and mostly rural categories. The following chart shows the national distribution using the three categories:
The pie chart that is overlaid each state shows the distribution of homelessness by geographic type for that state and is sized to reflect total level of homelessness in that state. Click on the chart to see total homelessness for the state and the percent of the homeless population that is urban, rural, or urban-rural mix.

41 Stories by O. Henry (Signet Classics (Paperback)) (edition 1991)
by O. Henry
Work details
41 Stories (Signet Classics) by O. Henry
No current Talk conversations about this book.
There were parts of this reading experience I enjoyed, but 15 Stories by O.Henry would perhaps have been a better book. Some of the stories are overly sentimental (and even sappy). After briefly viewing William Sydney Porter's history the more positive aspects of sentimentality are consistent with at least one aspect of his general life experience- he did come back to the US and face charges so that he could be with his wife when she died, and that appears from my brief view to be a sentimental decision that was not unlike what his characters would have done. O.Henry stories have some sort of surprise- which can become repetitive by the time one reaches story 41- but this was a format that generally worked. The prejudices of this time and place are present, including using "White" as a description of positive behavior, and this is certainly unpleasant. Despite this lack of understanding of racism, he does demonstrate an awareness of other social issues (such as poverty and serious illness) and treats characters in these situations with compassion. Characters were somewhat nuanced, with shades of moral gray. The malapropisms were amusing for awhile as well. Overall, this book makes two points: first, that appearances are often deceiving, and second, that there are opportunities for heroic actions in day-to-day life. I wanted to like it more than I did.
Silly, but I when I think of this book, I can't help but be reminded of Steve Martin's sendup from Cruel Shoes about shinbone polish and cuticle frames.
I like O. Henry. And these short stories are why.
I loved this book as a preteen, and delighted in the surprise endings that bore English teachers today. Because Porter didn't write for children, the vocabulary and settings are prohibitive for all but a very good young reader. To an adult, the stories start to sound alike, but to a child, they can be delightful.

Dick Morris Falsely Claims That NYC Teachers Are Paid To Watch TV In "Rubber Rooms"
Research ››› ››› HARDEEP DHILLON
In an attack on teachers unions, Dick Morris falsely claimed that, because of New York City's contract with its teachers union, 4,000 "incompetent" New York City teachers "go to rubber rooms every day" where they "read the paper and watch TV." In fact, the New York City teachers union opposed the "rubber rooms" and the city has closed them while streamlining the disciplinary process for teachers with the union's approval.
Dick Morris Falsehood: 4,000 Bad Teachers Being Paid To Watch TV In "Rubber Rooms"
Morris: NYC Is Paying Teachers Who "Are So Incompetent They Are Not Allowed To See Students." On Fox News, Dick Morris claimed that, while Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is currently unpopular because of the bill he recently pushed cutting bargaining rights, this perception will change once the public learns more about teachers unions. As evidence, Morris stated that, because of a union contract, New York City has been unable to fire 4,000 teachers who "are so incompetent they are not allowed to see students. They go to rubber rooms every day and read the paper and watch TV and we pay them full salary." From Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren:
MORRIS: Americans realize that it is only by limiting the power of the teachers union that you can get rid of bad teachers, promote good ones, and give parents the choice as to where to send their children. And now that Walker has taken those issues off the table in the collective bargaining process, real education reform can happen.
DICK MORRIS: And there will, of course, have to be lay-offs in any case in the schools. The question is who you lay-off? In New York City, I'll give you a great example, there are 4,000 teachers that are so incompetent they're not allowed to see students. They go to rubber rooms every day and read the paper and watch TV and we pay them full salary. We can't fire them because of the union benefits.
Mayor Bloomberg has to fire 4,000 teachers. He wants to fire those teachers, and the union agreement won't let him. He's going to have to fire all the new, young, enthusiastic, creative teachers who we've hired in the last three years. So it's things like that that are really going to drive people nuts.
And when you understand that that's what the union contract is about and that's what Walker has saved Wisconsin from, I think he's going to do very well. [Fox News' On The Record with Greta Van Susteren, 3/10/11]
In Fact, The "Rubber Rooms" Were Closed In NYC With The Support Of Teachers Union
New York Times: June 28, 2010 Last Day Of 'Rubber Rooms' For Teachers. From The New York Times:
Monday was the last day of school for the city's 1 million students. But at the "rubber room" on West 125th Street, it was also the end of an era.
For the last several years, teachers accused of incompetence or wrongdoing have been forced into rubber rooms, formally called Temporary Reassignment Centers, where they receive a full salary but do not work while they wait for the Department of Education or a hearing officer to decide their fate. But in April, city officials and the teachers' union agreed to eliminate the rooms, which had been a source of embarrassment for all. Beginning in the fall, those teachers will perform administrative duties or be sent home if they are deemed a threat to students. [The New York Times, 6/28/10]
NYC Dept. Of Education: Closing Rubber Rooms Was A "Landmark Agreement" With Teachers Unions To Fix Process For Dealing With Those Charged With Incompetence Or Misconduct. The New York City Department of Education reported that the decision to close rubber rooms in New York City was a "landmark agreement" with the teachers union, to fix a "broken process" and "ensure that [teachers] do not have to wait for months or years to have their cases heard":
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein and United Federation of Teachers (UFT) President Michael Mulgrew today announced a landmark agreement to eliminate temporary reassignment centers, or "rubber rooms," where teachers accused of misconduct or incompetence are assigned pending resolution of their cases. Under the new agreement, most teachers accused of misconduct or incompetence will be assigned to perform administrative work in Department of Education offices or given non-classroom duties in their schools while their cases are resolved.
"Despite everything we've accomplished together to improve our City's public schools, we still have major reforms and improvements to tackle--and that is exactly what we are doing," Mayor Bloomberg said. "Fixing this broken process gets us all back to what we want to be doing, giving our kids the education they need and deserve."
"The rubber rooms are a symptom of a disciplinary process that has not worked for anyone--not the kids, not the schools, and not the teachers," UFT President Mulgrew said. "This agreement is designed to get teachers out of the rubber rooms and to ensure that they do not have to wait for months or years to have their cases heard." [NYC Department of Education, 4/15/10]
Teachers Union: Fixing Rubber Rooms Problem "Has Been A High Priority For Me." In a statement published by the Huffington Post, president of United Federation of Teachers, Michael Mulgrew, stated rubber rooms "don't work for schools, students or teachers." From the Huffington Post:
Rubber rooms, where New York City teachers can sit for years while being investigated or while going through a hearing process, don't work for anyone. They don't work for schools, students or teachers.
Fixing this problem has been a high priority for me ever since I became President of the UFT eight months ago.
In a groundbreaking agreement between the UFT and the Department of Education, we have agreed to shut the rubber rooms down; from now on teachers under investigation or facing charges will generally be employed in administrative tasks in schools or DOE offices.
Closing the rubber rooms is an important step, but in order to ensure that the overall teacher disciplinary process is both faster and more fair, we have also established limits on how long investigations and hearings may take. [Huffington Post, 4/15/10]
Teachers Union: Disciplinary Process For Teachers Will Now Be "Faster And More Fair." From Mulgrew's Huffington Post piece:
Closing the rubber rooms is an important step, but in order to ensure that the overall teacher disciplinary process is both faster and more fair, we have also established limits on how long investigations and hearings may take.
There will be a cap of 60 days on how long most teachers accused of misconduct can be removed from a classroom while being investigated and before being charged. For teachers accused of incompetence the limit will be 10 days. Teachers not charged within these time limits will be returned to their classrooms; for those whose investigations result in charges, we have made arrangements to speed up the hearing process, including plans to increase in the number of arbitrators who hear such cases.
Why is this important?
Teachers sitting in rubber rooms cost the Department of Education an estimated $30 million a year, an unacceptable expense as our schools face dramatic budget cuts. We expect to realize substantial savings by shortening a process that now can take years into one that takes months or even weeks. [Huffington Post, 4/15/10]

Southern Utah Rallies to Split Friday Doubleheader with Oakland
Related Links
CEDAR CITY, Utah – Southern Utah and Oakland split a pair of very competitive ball games Friday as the Grizzlies used solid defensive play to claim the first game of the day by a score of 6-3 and the Thunderbirds rallied in a back-and-forth second game to pull out a 8-7 victory.
Left hander Justin Neubauer got the start on the mound for SUU and looked good as he quickly retired the first two batters he faced. He then surrendered a two out walk to the Grizzlies' Tommy Jablonski. In the next at bat Oakland third baseman Mike Carson would hit a towering homerun over the left field wall to put his team up 2-0.
Southern Utah answered with two runs in the bottom of the second to knot the score at 2-2. The Oakland defense would stumble in the inning as Tariq Staton of SUU reached first with a bunt down the third base line and then reached second on a throwing error by the third baseman. A passed ball during the next at bat allowed Staton to move to third and he would then score on an RBI single off the bat of Taggart Lunceford. Second baseman Dave Ricker then drew a walk to put runners on first and second. The next batter for SUU was left fielder Tyson Weber. He would drive a pitch at the Oakland second baseman who was unable to field the ball cleanly allowing Lunceford to score the second run for the Thunderbirds of the inning.
The Grizzlies retook the lead in the top of the fourth as they took advantage of Southern Utah errors to put two more runs on the board. Jake Morton and Eric Ogg both recorded RBI sacrifice flies in the frame to give Oakland a 4-2 lead.
An RBI sacrifice fly from Ricker in the bottom half of the inning made it a one run ball game at 4-3, but that is as close as it would get. Oakland went on to add an insurance run in the fifth followed by another in the seventh while holding Southern Utah scoreless over the final five innings for the 6-3 victory.
Russell Luxton pitched five solid innings for the away team to earn his third win of the year while Neubauer took the loss for SUU and is now 2-3 on the season.
The two teams didn't waste any time in the back end of the day's doubleheader as both sides put up a run in the first inning. Center fielder Tim Ryan led off the game for the Grizzlies with a double to left center and then scored on an RBI single from D.J. Jarrad. Taylor Shaw picked up a two out RBI single in the bottom of the inning for SUU to tie the game 1-1.
The Grizzlies then reclaimed the lead in the top of fourth as left fielder John Estes drove a two run single to right, scoring OU base runners Carson and Ryan Waldhart.
In the bottom half of the inning third baseman Justin Neuhart reached first after being hit by a pitch and then advanced to second on a single from Ricker. In the next at bat Weber drove a ball to deep left for an RBI double. With runners on second and third the Grizzlies would intentionally walk Bo Cuthbertson to load the bases. The dangerous Thunderbird lineup came through however as Kauweloa and Shaw delivered back-to-back two run RBI doubles to put SUU out in front 6-3.
"That was a clutch hit", said SUU Coach Dave Eldgredge of Kauweola's two run double. "It can be tough hitting behind Bo because he gets a lot of intentional walks, Kauweloa really came through for us there."
Oakland battled back with an RBI single from Wick in the fifth followed by a two run double off the bat of Jarrad in the sixth that leveled the score at six runs apiece. The Grizzlies would then add a run on a sacrifice fly hit by Jablonski to take the lead 7-6.
Marcus Romero then reached first for SUU in the bottom of the sixth after being hit by a pitch. Romero was replaced by pinch runner Stephen Rockhill who advanced to second on a left field single hit by Cuthbertson. A well-executed bunt from Kauweloa would then give Southern Utah runners on second and third with just one out. The Grizzlies chose to pitch around Shaw, which loaded the bases for pinch hitter Austin Hunt. Hunt delivered a double to deep right center that dropped just past the outstretched glove of the center fielder scoring Rockhill from third to tie the game at seven. In the next at bat Neuhart ripped a ball to the third base side and then beat the throw at first allowing Shaw to score the go ahead run for SUU.
"Hunt's double was huge for us," stated Eldredge after the game. "It is tough to come off the bench and get a big hit. His aggressive nature at the plate makes him a great pinch hitter."
Chase Rezac would retire the Grizzlies in order in the top of the seventh to preserve the 8-7 Thunderbird victory. The hard throwing sophomore picked up his fourth win of the season in relief and is now 4-5 on the year. Jake Arendsen falls to 2-1 after taking the loss for the Grizzlies.
With the split Southern Utah is now 10-13 in conference play and 22-27 overall. Oakland falls to 7-16 in the Summit League and 15-29 on the season.
The two teams will wrap the series on Saturday with a final game at 1 p.m. Saturday's game is Senior Day for the Southern Utah baseball team and will also feature activities and prizes for members of the ThunderKids as well as all other young Thunderbird fans.

It is that time again. Time for a fresh start, a new year, and a new pile of resolutions. This year, my resolution is to have more fun. In fact, I resolve not just to have more fun, but to be more fun. And I think I have figured out exactly how to do that!
We had our annual Trail Dames Christmas Party a couple of weeks ago, and one of the things we did was play silly games. Fun games like seeing who could wrap a gift faster using only one hand. Kind of cheesy, right? Well, the BEST game ever involved smearing Vaseline all over your face and then sticking your head in a bowl of cotton balls. The person with the best 'Santa Beard' when it was all said and done won.
The thing is, the world is divided into two kinds of people……those who sit and watch these games, and those who jump up and say, "Pick me! I will be glad to smear Vaseline all over my face!!"
Which person has more fun? Which person leaves the party grinning, picking cotton out of her hair and saying, "That was awesome!!"? It is the woman that is not afraid. She is not afraid to act like a kid again….to be silly….and to look a little foolish around the edges. She is the person who feels joyful and free and full of laughter. She laughs louder, dances goofier and has a great sense of humor in regards to herself and what other people think. That is the most fun person in the room.
I resolve to be more fun this year. I will roll down hills, jump on trampolines, and yes, even throw my face into a bowl of cotton. It is going to be a great year!

Mayhem # 1258765
About MeI am an experienced model, starting at 18 with the usual Jackie magazine story strips (remember those?), progressing onto camera clubs and suchlike in my early 20s. I appeared magazines and my images were displayed around Europe in various exhibitions. I stopped at 25 feeling I was getting too old (ha, little did I know!) In 2006 I briefly flirted again with modelling and appeared on the cover and inside Lush Cosmetics Forum charity calendar for 2007, but didn't follow it up. However I've started again, and have been delighted to find that there is a much better market for leggy petite older models than in previous years. What a relief!
I love working outdoors and am not averse to being humorous or bizarre if required. I enjoy character work too. I'm flexible, often being able to work at very short notice and don't take myself too seriously. I will do art nude, 'implied nudity' and 'implied topless' but not overt. I know my limits.
I'm a car buff, loving old classic cars in particular, I'm passionate about cooking and adore musical settings. I play the violin and sing and enjoy photography at both sides of the lens!
Please note that my dress and shoe size are UK. So that I'm a US 4 and my feet are a US 71/2
I work full time as a professional model and actress which means modelling pays my bills, so if you approach me to work with you, please bear in mind that I will assume that you are offering to pay me. Thank you for your understanding.
I am able to offer full studio facilities with various sets etc at a reasonable rate should you need them.
Thank you for looking at my profile. It's appreciated.

Feeling a little behind the technological times? If you're running a business (or older than 25), keeping up with the latest social media trends can take more time than you have to invest.
However, in terms of staying relevant, maintaining an online presence is often essential. Are your competitors gaining market share by harnessing the power of social media? If so, and all you have is an outdated Facebook page with a handful of followers, you're going to need some help.
You won't have any trouble finding people who say they're experts, from recent high school graduates to communications veterans. But how do you find advisers who truly get social media — and are worth the fees they're charging?
Here are 10 tips for sussing out the right consultants.
1. Review their work. First, go to their pages. Check their personal and business Facebook pages for engagement. Are fans commenting, liking, and posting? Are conversations taking place on Twitter? You can pay $10 per month for automated services that will net you thousands of Twitter followers but a large quantity of followers isn't valuable unless they're engaging with you and your brand. What you're looking for is engagement. That's why it's called social media.
Christopher Penn, vice president of marketing technologies at Shift Communications, says: The trick to finding a social media adviser or consultant is to ask for their track record. What did they do, how did they do it, and what quantifiable results did they get from their efforts that impacted the bottom line?
2. Examine their writing. You can hire a freelance writer for blog entries, but this doesn't work as well for social media. Your social media person should compose the short updates, tweets, and replies. Make sure their voice matches your company's style — and that they have a solid grasp of proper spelling and grammar. If they believe that every word ending in "s" should have an apostrophe in it, you may want to look elsewhere. Typos do not come across as professional.
3. Ask about other formats. Social media has evolved to rely heavily on images and video. What is their strategy for finding and producing unique content in this area? Which platforms have they used? Do they feel as comfortable with Vine as they do with YouTube? What about Pinterest and Instagram?
4. Consider the breadth of their focus. The only sure thing in technology is that it's going to change. Ask the person what emerging social networks they use and look at their pages on those sites. Social media sites will ultimately come and go, so if they're investing time in diverse and lesser-known sites, that's a strong positive.
5. Check their personality. Many talented professionals have trouble making conversation with strangers. There are plenty of jobs out there for these individuals, but social media manager isn't one of them. If people have a hard time talking with you, they probably won't seize every opportunity to reach out to your customers online.
6. Gauge their knowledge of metrics. Figuring out how to decipher Facebook traffic (and that of other social media sites) is a specialized skill set that every social media expert should have. Google Analytics is also important for evaluating online success. Ask experts what metrics they use to gauge the effectiveness of their social media campaigns and how they make changes based on what they see. Don't accept a general answer; you want specific examples.
7. Visit their LinkedIn pages. Social media experts should have updated LinkedIn pages and know how to use the network to their advantage. If they don't have any positive recommendations and testimonials, that's a bad sign. (Ignore the endorsements; people often endorse others in their network hoping to get an endorsement in return.)
8. Google them. If they can't promote their own brand, how can they promote yours? Any bona fide social media expert will be easy to find in a simple web search. Look for customer reviews and review any page that mentions their name. It's not necessarily a red flag if you find a few negative comments or reviews, but the positives should far outweigh the negatives.
9. Test their legal knowledge. Ask them what they know about copyright and other legal issues pertaining to social media. Do they know how to use third-party content and images without violating copyright law? Do they have a healthy fear of the consequences that come from posting something that isn't true or is defamatory? Do they know about advertising law? If something on your company website or social media pages breaks the rules, you will pay the price — literally.
10. Ask for references. If you're working with an individual, he or she should be able to provide three to five professionals references, including some in your field. If you're working with an agency and you're a small business, ask to speak with previous small-business clients to make sure that you won't be ignored in favor of larger accounts.
Even if experts pass all of the tests above, they still may not be right for your company. Trust your intuition. Remember that whoever you hire will be the voice of your business online. You'll know early on in the interview process whether a person is compatible with your company's culture.t

Issa Sesay
|Issa Sesay
June 27, 1970
Freetown, Sierra Leone
|Political party
|Revolutionary United Front, AFRC/RUF
Issa Hassan Sesay (born June 27, 1970) served as senior military officer and commander in the Revolutionary United Front and AFRC/RUF forces in their insurrection against the government of Sierra Leone. He was said to be subordinate only to Sam Bockarie, the Battlefield Commander, and Johnny Paul Koroma, leader of the AFRC.
Sesay is known as the commander who ordered the disarmament of the RUF, effectively ending the Sierra Leone Civil War.[1]
On 7 March 2003 he was indicted by the Special Court for Sierra Leone for crimes against humanity and other war crimes, including terrorizing civilians, collective punishments, unlawful killings, crimes against humanity, sexual violence, physical violence, use of child soldiers, abductions and forced labor, looting and burning, and attacks on UNAMSIL personnel. He pleaded not guilty at his initial court appearance. On 25 February 2009 Sesay was convicted for 16 out of the 18 charges he faced at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in Freetown.[2] Along with former leaders Morris Kallon, who received 40 years, and Augustine Gbao, who received 25, Sesay was sentenced to concurrent terms on the charges, the longest being a 52-year sentence.
An award-winning documentary by Rebecca Richman Cohen released in 2010 titled War Don Don follows the rise and fall of the rebel leader.[3][4]

This is bad folks. In a 5-4 decision, the Supremes have decided that the government has the right to confiscate and redistribute privately-owned land under eminent domain, for other than public use. In the specific case, residential land was confiscated to make way for a commercial development. The decision leaves it to the States to come up with controls to prevent abuse by localities. As if that will happen.
Do you have any doubts what would happen to a perfectly packaged 2A challenge under this court?

BOB'S BLOG: Moose and Gray Jays make our day in Algonquin Park
(Photo above: Gray Jay in Algonquin Park; then, a boreal chicadee. (Graham Wood photos)
There was room in the car so I got to go on this year's trip to Algonquin and learn something.
For the experienced birders who monitor migration for the Long Point Bird Observatory (http://www.bsc-eoc.org/longpoint/index.jsp), this unofficial November trip comes at the end of the migration season before the birders return home to the U.K., B.C. or further afield. It's an opportunity to see a few species that don't migrate through southern Ontario.
On the mammal side, moose, of course, aren't seen in the south either and not always in Algonquin, but we were lucky enough to see a cow and its calf on the Highway 60 corridor that runs through the park's southerly section. (Graham Wood photo below)
There isn't much in the way of human traffic this time of year here but this pair attracted a bit of a crowd. Many left their cars to get close to nature, thus imperilling themselves and their vehicles. Most experts tell you to never approach a moose and to stay in your car if observing because they're big (cows about 400 kg), protective of their young, and can run about as fast as a horse. Older son Ross got it right when he called these wildlife observers "citidiots." (See pdf, If a Moose Charges)
Our main interest, though, was to see boreal bird species like pine grosbeaks, boreal chickadees and crossbills. (Graham Wood photos 2, 3 and 4 below)
Another boreal bird – the Gray Jay (aka Canada Jay, Whiskey Jack, Camp Robber), although not hard to find, will be of interest to the casual as well as avid birder. Algonquin is the extreme southern limit of its range. (Graham Wood photo below)
They're easily found along Highway 60. And sure enough at our first stop we're greeted by one individual cadging peanuts who followed us on the entire loop of the Spruce Bog Boardwalk.
These birds are unique as they're the only ones in the boreal forests that stay on territory for the entire year. Through an amazing ability to store food, the Gray Jay survives the long cold winter by living off thousands of pieces of food hidden in the boreal vegetation.
Remarkably, research shows that they actually remember where they've hidden the food.
Another unique feature of the Gray Jay's life cycle is that the juvenile stays with the parents for three years. And in the harsh environment of Ontario's northern boreal forests these birds often live more than 10 years. Compare that to your typical pampered bird at your feeder who'll do well to make it to four.
For nearly 50 years most Algonquin Gray Jays have been colour-banded, thereby providing an excellent data base on the species. (Check out this site)
Gray Jays occupy a fairly large territory of 150 hectares (.57 square miles). There was a time when they inhabited all the land along Highway 60. Not now.
The cause of that decline is almost certainly climate warming. Warmer temperatures in the park mean that the stored food isn't lasting like it did in the past.
According to researcher Dan Strickland:
"As global temperatures rise, we can expect that insects, berries, pieces of meat or mushrooms stored by Gray Jays will spoil more rapidly. This will occur even in the winter and may be especially serious when repeated freeze-thaw events accelerate the degradation of perishable food. The cumulative effect of such warming may be that early-nesting Gray Jays have less stored food to feed their nestlings than in the past and fewer young jays are produced as a result."
Climate warming.
Not as overt stupidity as that practised by those citidiots bothering the moose but further evidence that we city folk are messing up.

A Coffee Mug That Looks Like A Coffee Pot
Apologies for the lack of activity here, my other blog has been keeping me busy as of late. If you don't mind wading through all the jersey designs you can find the odd hockey idea in there as well. Going forward I will try to balance things out between the two sites. The key word being try.
So here is a simple novelty idea: A coffee mug that looks like a miniature coffee pot. Inspired by those many times where I'm tempted to drink directly from the pot (co-workers be damned) during those moments of weakness. But mostly I just like the idea of carrying around a small coffee pot to flaunt my caffeine addiction.
Also this would be great for those single-cup coffee makers/espresso machines.
I've looked high and low for something like this. If I missed it please leave a note in the comments, because I really wouldn't mind owning a few.

Please make this. You will be wealthy beyond the dreams of avarice. (And it can't be that hard to produce…)
Two suggestions for usability – the lip and the smaller rim are going to lead to spills everywhere. I'd suggest that the lip be rounded off inside, so it's solid glass/pyrex/etc rather than the more traditional open lip.
You've modelled it as a two-wall (insulated) glass, but the render looks as though the inner wall follows the contours of the outer rather than being straight-sided and having the ferrule ring be the narrowest gap between the sides. That in itself has issues with conductivity and structural strength, but I'd suggest it's better than the alternative which would lead to spills.
ive also thought of this and am searching for my husband!

This recipe comes from my dad, who spent part of his childhood in Singapore when my grandad was in the army. I love hearing my dad's tall tales of life in Singapore some 50+ years ago. One of my favourites is about him walking through the jungle with his friend, when a lizard jumped out from the trees to grab him by the throat (his buddy saved him by striking the killer lizard in mid-air with the machete he happened to be carrying…).
Of course his time over there gave my dad a real taste for the spicy, saucy noodly/rice dishes Singapore is famous for, and he came back with a repertoire of lip smackingly good dishes that he still cooks all the time.
I've been trying to figure out the authentic name for this dish. It started out as Mee Goreng with spicy gravy (a fried yellow noodle dish) when my dad first talked through his recipe. Then we moved on to Mee Siam, which is a fried dish of very thin (vermicelli) noodles. When I actually made it myself, I was told that I had actually made a version of Kway Teow due to the fact I'd used flat noodles (I actually used fettuccine rather than the rice noodles in the original dish). So, whilst I'm completely confused, I'm also looooooving the complex taste of this dish. I'm just gonna call them Saucy Asian noodles 🙂
You can be pretty inventive with what you add into this dish. I opted for some leftover cooked chicken, chorizo, crispy bacon and some tiny garlicky prawns (along with some veg). Pork belly, leftover cooked beef/ lamb, ham or clams would all work brilliantly too. Of course, you could also go meat free by using some tofu fried in some garlic and soy sauce and upping the veg content.
Strange as it sounds – given that it's pasta – this dish also freezes remarkably well. It just needs a bit of additional liquid adding to it when reheating.
So here's the first from my dad's childhood. I'll be sure to pester him for some more, so let me know if you have any requests!
Saucy Asian Noodles (Serves 5-6):
- 500g dried fettuccine
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 5 rashers or streaky bacon
- 80g chorizo, chopped into small chunks
- 5 mushrooms, sliced
- 150g small prawns
- 5 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 100ml tomato ketchup
- 2 tsp castor/granulated sugar
- 70ml sweet chilli sauce (try my sweet chilli jam)
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- 250g cooked chicken meat, shredded
To serve:
- 3 hard boiled eggs, chopped into wedges
- Chopped chillies
- Chopped spring onions/scallions
- Start by cooking your fettuccine as per the pack instructions in a big pan with plenty of water
- In another wok (or large pan), heat up the vegetable oil and fry the onions gently for a few minutes. Take the onions out of the pan and add in the streaky bacon. Fry on high until the bacon starts to go brown and crispy. Add in the chorizo, mushrooms, prawns and garlic and stir. Take out the bacon, and put it in the bowl with your onions. Give the bacon a rough chop with some scissors.
- In the wok, add in the soy sauce and stir for a minute. Next add in the ketchup, sugar, sweet chilli sauce, lemon juice and chicken. Heat until bubbling and then add in two ladles of boiling water from the fettuccine pan. Leave to bubble gently.
- Once the fettuccine is ready, drain it (reserve some of the pasta water in case you want to add more to your sauce) and add it to the wok along with the onions and bacon to heat through. Give everything a good stir so that the pasta is coated in the rich sauce. Add a bit more pasta water if it's looking dry at all.
- Serve, topped with some wedges of hard boiled egg, chopped chillies and chopped spring onions/scallions.
Tip Any leftovers (apart from the egg) can be quickly cooled and frozen. Defrost thoroughly and reheat in a wok with a little oil. Add in a splash or water and soy sauce to loosen the pasta up gain and cook until piping hot throughout.

Speedo Problems
Hello All:
I have a VDO mechanical speedo that reads about 1/2 to 2/3 of the actual speed traveled. I have a TH400 transmission and checked the drive and driven gear for the ratio values and found that the drive gear is 15 teeth and the driven is 43. The tire size is 32" and the rear end gear is a 3.70. Doing the math and checking the charts available online, the drive gear is correct, but the driven should be 36 teeth. I am being told at a local speedo shop that the difference in each tooth accounts for about 2% increase/decrease, so by decreasing the 43 tooth to a 36 tooth driven gear, I will increase the speed seen on the speedometer 14%. Now with all of that said, I am confused as to why the speedo really needs to be increased about 60% to read correctly. Does anyone have any ideas before I go and have a ratio box made? Is there anything else to check?
Don't believe the old wives tale.
Just install the 36 ... and be HAPPY ...
No box needed.
The online chart calculator is here ...
For as inexpensive as the gear is (about $6.00), I will give it a shot. I spoke with another Speedo Company today in LA and they stated the same concern about the ratio box need.
I drove side by side next to my wife today and when she was going 40 MPH, my speedo was registering about 25. I will give it a try and see what happens.
Driven gear changes will not make up for that difference.

I have always wanted to participate in Roller Derby, what an incredible program, wish it was around when I was growing up! PS… awesome photos!
I don't understand how the woman has that much energy to do all the things she does. Excellent article. We love you, Riot.
Roller skating is great fun and great exercise. I loved roller skating when I was a young girl. Congratulations, Pat, on bringing this to the young girls of Anchorage!! Much good luck and success.
Love you Riot! This brings tears to my eyes. What a great way to empower young girls and boys too. Its also wonderful to be able to have this as a family activity. Everyone in our family skates Derby in some fashion or another.
Awesome story, but I must make a correction. She is not the oldest WFTDA all star. Fairbanks Rollergirls All Star Team has a gal that will be turning 53 this year. He name is Rolla Ghoul.
It does say "one of the oldest All-star players".
Just to set the record straight, the article text was recently altered to "one of the oldest…" after we received Dusty's comment. Thanks so much for everyone's passionate interest in this inspiring story and WYSK.
