[NASL REWIND: Week 10] The New York Cosmos opened up a seven-point lead at the top of the NASL with a 1-0 win at Minnesota United FC on Paulo Mendes' goal in the 53rd minute in front of 3,629 spectators on a rainy and cold Saturday evening at NSC Stadium.
The Cosmos held on for the win despite a flurry of
Minnesota chances to extend their unbeaten streak to seven games.
"It was definitely a big win because we played against a very good team," said Cosmos coach Giovanni Savarese. "They created many difficulties for us especially in the second half. Our team was very compact and we were able to pull out a very important
win. Overall, we beat a very good team today."
Goals either side of halftime from Martin Nunez and Bradlee Baladez gave the Fort Lauderdale Strikers a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rowdies in front of a crowd of 3,612 at Lockhart Stadium.
"The first half was the best
from this team of the season so far," said Strikers coach Gunter Kronsteiner. "We were very concentrated and there were a lot of chances we had to defend.
Nobody expected that we could beat them."
The San Antonio Scorpions won their second straight home win as they edged the Atlanta Silverbacks, 1-0, on Polish striker Tomasz Zahorski's sixth goal of the fall campaign.

Notebook: Penguins annoyed by performance
The Penguins realize there is a problem. They just aren't sure how to solve it.
When their lineup is nearly intact — such occasions have been rare during the Dan Bylsma era — mental lapses and defensive inadequacies have been commonplace.
And the Penguins know it.
"I wish I had the answers for why we don't come out and play our best game when we have everyone (healthy)," left wing Chris Kunitz said. "Maybe you let your foot off the gas pedal, maybe thinking someone on the next shift will pick up the slack. I think we all know we need to be better."
Numerous Penguins players acknowledged that, while one bad loss doesn't represent a time to panic, there is a feeling of annoyance in the locker room. Many of the team's leaders, including defensemen Rob Scuderi and Brooks Orpik, have warned in recent weeks that the Penguins weren't playing well defensively, and that such a thing could lead to trouble.
The Penguins found trouble in a 5-1 loss Monday to the Florida Panthers. Sidney Crosby, Brandon Sutter and Matt Niskanen all ripped the body of work from that loss, and of recent performances.
Kunitz joined in on Tuesday.
"I wouldn't say it's time to panic but we know some things have gotten away from us," Kunitz said. "We didn't work as hard in some of these games that we've won recently. We're trying to figure out what all of these bad habits are popping up on in our game right now. Being better defensively is obviously something we need to do."
Left wing Tanner Glass was slightly more to the point.
"Giving up five goals against a team that isn't exactly the best offensive team in the league is pretty troublesome," he said.
Glass sounds off
Glass has been a vocal opponent of the NHL's newly implemented hybrid icing system this season.
His feelings most certainly haven't changed since Monday against Florida, when he took a nasty tumble into the boards on a play that he believes should not have been ruled icing.
Florida defenseman Tom Gilbert wedged his stick between Glass' legs, forcing him to fall feet-first into the boards.
"It's unbelievable," Glass said. "Everyone knows it's not icing. (Gilbert) knows it's not. He's slowing down and looking at me. He doesn't want to go first for the puck because he knows I'm going to hit him. Not only wasn't it icing, but it's a penalty."
Glass clearly had reached the faceoff circle area first, which is supposed to cancel an icing call. However, many linesmen this season routinely have called races to the faceoff circle icing even if forwards frequently object.
"I don't blame the linesmen," Glass said. "It's a tough call. But you've got to use a little common sense in this case. He's not even racing for the dot. He had given up on the play. He's letting me get the puck first."
Glass also noted that hybrid icing rules are supposed to make the game safer. In his opinion, that hasn't been the case.
"I very easily could have been hurt on that play," he said. "Luckily, it happened early enough that I was able to get my feet up. If you're going to call icing, call it earlier. We were already engaged."
Ebbett back at practice
The Penguins continued to get healthier when forward Andrew Ebbett returned to practice. His ankle was broken by a shot from San Jose defenseman Dan Boyle.
Ebbett is unsure when he will return to the lineup but reported feeling good during the workout at Southpointe.
The Penguins did not sustain any injuries against Florida on Monday.

A rep from The CW has confirmed that Tori Spelling is in final negotiations to be back as Donna Martin in the spin off '90210'.
The rich kid is back to the famous zip code, Tori Spelling has been confirmed to make an appearance in "90210". The actress who previously backed out reportedly due to financial disagreement, is in "final negotiations" and according to EW's Michael Ausiello, the deal could be sealed as early as Wednesday, January 7.
Tori, the daughter of "Beverly Hills 90210" producer Aaron Spelling, plays Donna Martin in the series and her character was engaged to David (Brian Austin Green) in the end of the season finale. No words yet on how she will contribute to the "90210" story line but TV Guide said that she will join for multiple episodes in Spring.
Previously, other main cast from the original series have been encouraged to make a cameo in the spin-off but only two of them, Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty, agreed to reprise their roles. Luke Perry had said a definite 'no' to be back as Dylan although his character is written in as Kelly's baby's daddy while Jason Priestley prefers to go behind the lens to play Brandon again. Jason-directed episode will air on March 18.

I leased from new a 2011 CTS Coupe, Thunder Gray, Performance Collection Package. I have to return the car to the dealer the 2nd week of July when the lease runs out. I'm in a NYC borough, nearer to central NJ. Buyout on the car is around $27,000. Financing of the lease was through Ally.
Car will have maybe 8k miles on it when I go to return it, probably less. Car is like new, no accidents, maturely driven, never abused. If you are interested, maybe I can tell Ally you're a friend of mine who wants to buy out the car, you work it out with Ally, and pay me $1,000 cash for setting this up. If you want the car this week, it's $1,600 cash to me as I have one payment left on the lease.
If you are local and want to see the car let me know. I'm not shipping it, or driving it to you. I have no issue returning it to the dealer, it just would be a shame to give back to the dealer a pristine, low mileage car to resell for $35k when someone who needs it can pick it up now at a better price.
I'm not sure what Ally will do, but if you are interested I will make the call to find out.

Review Of The Vortex Razor HD 10x42 Binoculars And The Vortex Razor HD 11-33x50 Spotting Scope
For a lighter weight spotter I went with their new Vortex Razor HD 11-33x50mm unit. I have used a Leupold 12-40x60mm spotter for quite a few years and have always been satisfied with its quality and compact size and weight. But I felt I now wanted something even lighter and smaller in size.
The Vortex Razor HD spotter is slightly better in sharpness and light gathering in my opinion than the more expensive Leupold unit and it weighs 13 ounces less with a smaller profile. The spotter has both a coarse and a fine focus wheel and they are very smooth. The protective carry case can be left attached while the scope is in use, something like with the Leupold case (but not as good) which I have always felt was the best in the industry.
Shooting sticks, Summit SS, Razor HD, Leupold, Outdoorsmans
I love my Outdoorsmans tripod and Jim White head but again, I wanted something sized more consistently with my new Vortex spotter. So I opted for the Vortex Summit SS tripod and head. It has a unique twisting lock mechanism that is very quick and easy to use. The new tripod works with the quick release adaptors attached to either my spotter or the base unit for the bino version.
The lower portion of the center post has a hook for hanging a weight to stabilize the tripod in windy conditions. That works well and yet sometimes I found I did ok by simply pulling my hand downward momentarily on the hook. On last month's mountain hunt I had LOTS of windy test opportunities. Used with my new lightweight optics this tripod was plenty stable for MY use.
Mule Creek Outfitters Jacob Berger with Vortex Razor spotter
I can also remove the lower portion of the center post and then get the optics down with me into a prone position. I do that often when hunting and also when shooting prone at a rifle range. Sometimes I will use a "tripod dual mount" with both optics and rangefinder attached to the tripod in this prone position. Leaning to the left side away from your rifle scope and over to the spotter or rangefinder is easy in this way. Again, when you have no spotter-partner on a solo hunt, you are looking for any advantage that you can get.
My new spotter and tripod together weigh in at about 3.3 pounds -- a half-pound lighter than just an 85mm spotter alone. And I can fit them both into a single shirt pocket. Well, maybe not quite but they are pretty compact.
If you hunt mostly within a mile or so of your truck it doesn't matter how much your gear weighs. But if you like to hike up to 5 or more miles in a hunt day as do I it makes a big difference. Especially in my beloved western mountains at high altitude.
If you need to count the whiskers on a trophy animal at 3.9 miles this article isn't for you. Instead, keep lugging along your 20-60x85mm spotting scope and 4 to 5 pound tripod to go with it.
This has been my third in a series of three articles on the subject of lightweight optics for backcountry hunting. Here are the first two articles:

Soft and moist, this is more like a spice cake with a predominant ginger emphasis. Ginger is a most versatile root. It is available pickled, powdered or ground, and raw, with each form offering a distinctly different flavoring from the others. This recipe uses all three types of ginger, resulting in a playful dance of flavors. Serve it with a dollop of sour or whipped cream for dessert, or warm and toasty for breakfast.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan, or the equivalent.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in the egg and molasses. Beat in the flour and buttermilk, alternating a small amount at a time until well blended. Fold in the pickled and fresh ginger. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake sit in the pan, on a rack, for 5 minutes. Then remove the cake from the pan and set it on a rack to cool completely. Before serving, dust the cake with powdered sugar sprinkled through a sieve or doily.

Converting a garage into a home office is an increasingly popular step for homeowners to make. It's not surprising, given that many people now work from home, either through self-employment, flexible working or otherwise. It can also be handy if you have sons or daughters preparing for exams or doing coursework, giving them space away from the distractions of the home to knuckle down to some serious work. It can also add value to your home, as buyers see the extra space as beneficial and will pay more accordingly.
Converting your garage into a home office isn't too difficult a process, if you go about it in the right way and with the right help. The majority of garage conversions don't require planning permission, as they are usually deemed within to be within the grounds of permitted development rights. However, to get an effective and comfortable office, you should almost certainly enlist the help of a specialist who can help you realise your ideas. You will also need building regulation approval from your local authority and getting a dedicated conversion expert to assist in the process can make it much easier.
When it comes to your home office, you should take account into the fact that what may be suitable for parking your car will probably not be suitable for spending a great deal of time in. For instance, if your garage does not have windows, it may be a good idea to have some installed so you can enjoy the benefits of natural light. If your garage has not been properly insulated then it is probably worthwhile to invest in it due to the reduced costs of heating your new office in the winter months, as well as making it a more hospitable environment to work in. You will need carpeting or flooring, depending on your preferences.
You should also be mindful of space and how to make the best use of it. Consider investing in space-saving devices to maximise the area you've got to work in – cramped, cluttered spaces don't lend themselves particularly well to creativity, productivity or concentration. Colours and decoration are also important, so be sure to pick a scheme which will be long-lasting and in-keeping with a reasonably studious atmosphere.
As your home office is likely to have a computer, printer and phone system in it, then it is advisable to get your insurance in it covered too. Buildings insurance policies may have outbuildings coverage as a standard feature. The items inside your home office will be covered by your contents insurance policy. If you invest in new items for your office, then it's important to notify your insurer so you have your belongings insured for an accurate sum.

Snippets from the Trenches
We were delighted to have author Freda Wagman visit us yesterday, and give a book talk about her memoir Snippets from the Trenches. "Snippets from the Trenches, a mother's AIDS memoir, is a time line of the twelve-year journey of the author's son living with HIV/AIDS. Upon learning his diagnosis early in 1983, a time when treatment options were limited, she joined the fledgling AIDS Foundation Houston. Throughout the book, she tells of her involvement in helping other people, along with the hope of learning how to cope with her own impending loss." Review from Amazon.com

Man caught on Google Maps dragging body to lake?
On Google Maps, searching the coordinates 52.376552,5.198303 brings the user to
Koningin Beatrixpark, a park in Almere, the Netherlands.
Upon switching to Satellite view and zooming in on the coordinates, there appears to be one man (or possibly two) dragging an unidentified object out on a dock toward a small lake.
Behind the object, stretching the length of the dock back toward land, is what appears to be a bloody streak.
View Larger Map
There is speculation that it may actually be two men with a wet dog, and water dripping from the dog simply discolored the wood of the deck.
There have been plenty of other weird things discovered on Google Maps.

Saethre-Chotzen syndrome is a rare genetic (present at birth) condition in which certain sutures (joints) between skull bones grow together too early. This birth defect causes abnormal development in the head and face, which affect their shape.
In most cases of Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, the sutures that are closed are the coronal (from ear to ear) and sometimes the lambdoid (across the back of the head). This condition is called craniosynostosis.
Gene mutations cause Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, and children inherit this genetic disorder from their parents.
Children with Saethre-Chotzen syndrome may have one or more of these symptoms:
Your baby's pediatrician may notice the distinctive skull and face shapes of Saethre-Chotzen syndrome at birth. After examining and measuring your baby's head, the pediatrician will use other tests to rule out other, similar syndromes that also have skull deformities.
At Children's National, the diagnostic tools we may use include:
Treatment for Saethre-Chotzen syndrome focuses on relieving pressure inside the head and correcting the skull and facial deformities. At Children's National, our treatment options include:
The Craniofacial Program at Children's National brings together experts from 10 pediatric disciplines to provide complete care for children with craniofacial disorders. Our multidisciplinary pediatric team helps more than 400 children every year.
Children's National Rare Disease Institute (CNRDI) is a first-of-its-kind center focused exclusively on advancing the care and treatment of children and adults with rare genetic diseases.

Back in February this year we did our first PSU group test and it was hugely popular – so here we are with a slightly smaller follow up to see what the latest generation of power supplies have to offer. This time round we are glad to welcome a few new names as well as some established ones that we missed out last time.
With high-end graphics cards and SLI becoming increasingly popular and dual-core processors moving in to the home market it is more important than ever to have a good quality PSU inside your computer. For example, nVidia has once again bumped the PSU requirements for SLI with the 7800GTX and 7800GT to no less than 500W. However, in practice though you don't need that much as Evesham proved with the Axis 64 Decimator 78 which managed just fine with a 420W power supply. This is of course dependant on how much other power draining hardware you have in your PC, but you're far better off having a good quality 450W PSU rather than a cheap 600W PSU.
That's not to say that cheap is always bad, as you'll see from the SilverPower PSU in this group test. Those hoping our testing went of with a literal bang will be disappointed to learn that we had far fewer mishaps than last time, with only one of the 12 PSUs on test failing and it didn't even give out with a bang.
Our testing was similar to our last group test, so if you'd like to know more you can read about it here. The only differnce this time was that we had the opportunity to use some new test equipment as well. You might have noticed a small sticker on some electrical equipment that is labelled Hi-POT. What this means is that the power supply has been tested with a high voltage static discharge. To pass the Hi-POT test requires that the power supply doesn't pass the static charge on to the device(s) it's powering, as this could potentially cause damage. This is especially important when it comes to computer components, which are very sensitive to electrostatic discharges.
All of the power supplies were tested at 1kV and 1.5kV, which are considered typical levels that could happen during a lightning strike. All ATX power supplies should pass the 1kW test, although to my surprise one of the Hi-POT labelled PSUs didn't. The 1.5kV test is not a requirement but most of the units passed this as well.
Some of you will be disappointed by the lack of noise testing, but sadly we were unable to source suitable test equipment to perform any sensible testing. Hopefully we will be able to do this next time, but it is one of the hardest aspects to test on a PSU and we'd like to do it properly. This is because a PSU's noise level will depend on the load applied and also on the type of case it is installed in. There are also other factors such as Power Factor Correction (PFC) noise, something all PSUs with active PFCs suffer from to some degree. This usually presents itself as a high-pitched squealing noise but this could be easily overpowered by other noise factors such as the CPU cooler and case fans.
Right, on to the units on test and let's see what they have on offer.

Keelung 基隆 (pronounced as Jilong in Mandarin and Kelang in Taiwanese), is the biggest and only city on Taiwan's northern coast. It's approximately 1h away from Taipei City, if you take the usual train. Unfortunately the city lacks good traffic connection with the rest of Taiwan, but I've read that the local government strives for the extension of a Taipei MRT line to Keelung (source). Not sure, if that will happen, but it would definitely be great for the further development of this disconnected city. Together with Taipei and New Taipei, Keelung is part of the biggest metropolitan area in Taiwan with nearly 7 million people commonly referred as the Taipei-Keelung Metropolitan area (台北基隆都會區).
The history of the name of the city is pretty interesting. The current pronunciation originates from Taiwanese "kelang" or 雞籠, which means "chicken cage", "hencoop" or "hennery". However, during the Qing dynasty (in 1875), the Chinese characters were changed to 基隆. The current name, which means "prosperous base", but it's pronounced same as 雞籠 (jilong). So only the Characters were changed (and the meaning became more dignified), but the pronunciation is the same (source). Pretty cool, isn't it?
Keelung City today has nearly 400.000 inhabitants and is Taiwan's main northern port and after Kaohsiung, the second biggest port in the country, catering mainly to Taipei City. During my trip to Danshui, I've seen they're building a big port nearby, which means Taipei will have its own port closer to its city center and with a better traffic connection. I wonder what will happen to Keelung's development after that's completed.
How did I see Keelung? Keelung is one of my favorite Taiwanese cities. I like it, because it's different than the cities and towns south from Taipei. They're mostly huge and spread all over the place, while Keelung is small, squeezed between mountains and the northern coast. Keelung is a real port, a city that lives for the sea and depends on the sea. I like the squarish old city center, which looks like a chessboard. And there's also one of my favorite night markets in Taiwan: The famous Miaokou Night Market. The whole city has a very special feel to it, it's hard to describe. You need to go there and see it for yourself, I highly recommend it to you.
Let's have a small walk around Keelung:
Keelung is a very interesting city. There is so much to explore and I will do so in the future. If you go, I highly recommend you to visit the Miaokou Night Market. But try to go out of the city to see the nearby Yehliou Geopark, which is one of Taiwan's biggest natural wonders. Keelung will surely capture your heart, it's simply amazing.

One of London's more colourful Americans has died. Artist and aid worker Sandy Sempliner, who succumbed to cancer last week, was an aficionado of gentlemen's clubs, not just here but around the world. There was a fair chance, if you dropped into the bar anywhere from the Franklin Club, Philadelphia, to the Muthaiga Club in Nairobi, the Norske Selskab in Oslo or the Royal Selangor in Kuala Lumpur, that you would find Sempliner in residence, martini and Senior Service cigarette in hand.
He used to drive around Mayfair in classic cars and taught art to international students in Marylebone between lunches and cocktails at the Savile Club. It was often assumed by foreign governments that Sempliner worked for the CIA but anyone who heard his views on the US says it was impossible. "He visited something like 60 countries and he invariably found the best club," says a friend. "We are confident that he has learned the names of all the staff and house committee members in Heaven."

"My visit to Mississippi State went really good," said Washington. "The people were nice and the campus were real nice.
"Their facilities were extremely nice. They were nicer than I expected them to be.
"I got to see everything and talk with the players. It was a nice time."
Washington was hosted by Bulldog sophomore defensive back Jay Hughes.
"I really liked Jay a lot," said Washington. "He told me a lot about how things were there and he showed me around.
"I feel like we could be good friends. He told me before I left that he wanted us to stay in touch no matter what I decided.
"He's a good guy and I feel like he meant that."
The Maryland native was able to have a face to face with Coach Dan Mullen prior to returning to California.
"Coach Mullen told me about what they are trying to do there and he told me how much they wanted me there," said Washington. "He talked some about his background and about the kind of players they are bringing in.
"He told me that he was going to come out and see me this week, so we could visit and talk some more about things."
Mullen will not be the only coach making the effort to have some in person contact before the mid year signing period opens next week.
"I have talked to Coach (Bert) Bielema a couple of times since he got hired," said Washington. "I talked to him the day after he got hired and then I talked to him yesterday.
"He is coming out here to see me on Thursday."
As the process winds down, Washington continues to take stock of where he is and where he wants to be for the next two years.
"I am still committed to Arkansas, but I am not going to have a final decision until after I go home," said Washington. "I am going to go home this weekend and I am going to sit down with my family and talk about everything.
"I am going to look at each school and look at the pros and cons at both of them.
"Once I do that, then I will be ready to make my decision."

"Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in. But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky." - Jay-Z
Doing Time
It'll happen like this: Client will be contemplating a plea to some jail time. Thinking about it aloud, he'll say something like, "I don't know, its rough, that's a lot of time." I'll say something like, "Well, I just want you to know that it could be worse after trial." Then, he'll say something like, "Miss Justice, you ever done time?"
And, just once, I'd like to say (with a straight face), "2 to 4 in State."
Ha! That'd be funny.

Another thankful client.
holy crap.ReplyDelete
2-4? So you would be a two-time loser.
I usually tell my clients this: You have two options, take the deal, or don't. If you don't, you are facing a maximum of 25 (usually the case with felony drug charge). If that's okay with you, then its okay with me because I get to go home at the end of the day and their the ones who have to do the time.
I can't even imagine having to make that kind of decision, especially in drug cases where the stakes are so high for such seemingly minor offenses.
In my experience, it usually starts with "tell the persecutor to do half and I'll do the other half." If the plea bargaining situation does not improve, then they start suggesting I do the time, or that I'm a persecutor, or -if I'm court-appointed- then I work for the government.ReplyDelete
I have found that it usually works out best if one does not talk too much about plea bargaining with clients, so that they then start wondering why I'm not bringing them offers. I tell them that they were told in writing by me at the start that I would only pursue plea bargaining if they authorized me to do so. They almost invariably then authorize me. Of course, this does not work if the prosecutor makes an unsolicited plea offer, which I will then transmit to client with a brief cover letter explaining that I got this, but will not respond to it unless he is interested, since he has to authorize me to even commence any plea negotiations, etc.
But with some clients, nothing seems to work.

Aston Villa last night blew a golden chance to breathe new life into their dismal season by squandering a two-goal lead at West Brom.
Goals from Christian Benteke and Gabriel Agbonlahor should have been enough for Villa to secure their first Premier League win since December 15. But, despite the return of captain Ron Vlaar, Villa could not hold on to their lead as West Brom hit back through Chris Brunt and Peter Odemwingie.
The nature of the draw against their Midlands rivals will have felt like a loss for Villa at the start of a critical week.
Manager Paul Lambert's men take on Bradford in the second leg of their Capital One Cup
semi-final and then face Millwall in the FA Cup. Failure to win either game will send Villa's season into crisis.
The opening stages did not start promisingly for Villa, as Romelu Lukaku had a shot deflected over the bar and Nathan Baker had to be replaced by Eric Lichaj after just six minutes.
But with virtually their first attack of the game, Villa took a shock lead. Benteke had missed chance after chance in the previous week's defeat to Southampton, but produced a wonderful right-footed drive that gave West Brom keeper Ben Foster no chance.
James Morrison then went close for the Baggies with an overhead kick but Villa managed to double their lead just after the half-hour mark.
This time it was Agbonlahor, as he received the ball from Charles N'Zogbia and wrong-footed Foster to find the back of the net.
Villa's travelling fans chanted Lambert's name in celebration, underlining the fact the Scotsman still retains the faith of most of the supporters.
West Brom rallied slightly with two efforts from Graham Dorrans, but they could easily found themselves three goals down at half-time as Foster denied substitute Lichaj.
The home crowd booed their team off at the break, but they were soon cheering as West Brom made the perfect start to the second period.
In the 49th minute, Lukaku laid the ball off for Brunt and he thumped the ball into the back of the net and it was game on. Villa made their second change three minutes later with Barry Bannan replacing Fabian Delph in midfield.
Sensing nerves in the Villa defence, West Brom started to pile forward but were nearly caught out at the back.
Benteke raced away and played in Agbonlahor, but his shot was too close to Foster and the former Birmingham man kept the ball out.
It was West Brom and Odemwingie's turn to squander a good opportunity with just over 20 minutes remaining.
Odemwingie chased down a high ball, got to it before keeper Brad Guzan, but could only steer his shot high over the bar.
West Brom started to become increasingly desperate in their search for an equaliser and sent a flurry of pot-shots over Guzan's bar.
Odemwingie went much closer with a low drive that flew inches wide of the post with just over 10 minutes remaining.
The striker, who is a target of QPR, was getting chance after chance but sent another effort high into the stands.
With seven minutes remaining, however, Odemwingie finally got it right as he hooked Gareth McAuley's header past Guzan and into the Villa net.


text: JUNAN COUNTY, China, May 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- American Lorain Corporation (NYSE Amex: ALN) ("American Lorain" or the "Company"), an international processed snack foods, convenience foods, and frozen foods company based in Shandong Province, China, today announced that the Company is launching a new line of frozen rice products under its Lorain® brand name, further expanding its instant rice product line. The Company will produce these new rice products at its Beijing Lorain facility and are currently promoting the product in key markets in China. These products will be available at local grocery and convenience stores and merchandisers, as well as larger, well-known retailers such as Carrefour. The Company is preparing to also introduce new varieties and flavors of instant rice products to cater to different regions of the country, including these "heat and eat" frozen rice products. The new frozen rice products differ from original constant-temperature rice products mainly in production methodology. The new products use quick-freeze for preservation purpose, instead of the high-temperature sterilizing process employed by constant-temperature rice products, and were thus able to maintain the most original taste and nutrition of the food. China's Rice Market China is the largest producer and consumer of rice in the world, with nearly a third of the global market share. Rice is considered a staple food for 65% of the population in China, where annual rice farm output is about 200 million tons. American Lorain began selling separate instant rice products under its convenience foods segment in early 2010. The Company produced 127 convenience food products in 2010, including "meals ready to eat" (MRE) rice products for civilian use in the form of microwavable rice boxes, as well as self heating rice packs for the army, which only require water to heat. The Company believes that by leveraging the nationally known Lorain® brand name will further assist its penetration into the promising China rice market. American Lorain's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Si Chen, stated, "We continue to focus on both diversifying our lines to include a wider variety of food products and leveraging our known brand name among different segments. Rice is considered one of the major foods for the Chinese population, and instant rice products are a huge potential market for our Company. We continue to focus on our development, production and distribution initiatives and will continue to keep investors apprised of our progress."

Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/20/2010
Publication Date: 5/16/2010
Citation: Shields Jr, F.D., Knight, S.S. 2010. Pre-restoration assessment, Big Sunflower River, Mississippi: Where to begin? Proceedings, 2010 World Water Congress, American Society of Civil Engineers, Reston, VA. CD-ROM. Interpretive Summary: Rivers draining the Mississippi Delta and other major floodplains used for agricultural production have great ecological potential, but suffer from extreme degradation due to water pollution, water extraction, channelization and removal of riparian vegetation and large wood. A three-year study was conducted along two reaches of the Big Sunflower River in northwest Mississippi to assess the current status of the ecosystem and provide a basis for ecological restoration and management. Fish congregated below weir structures, but addition of such structures to provide more habitat is likely unwise until water quality issues producing chronic low dissolved oxygen concentrations are addressed. This research is useful to water resource managers working with river systems in intensely cultivated floodplains.
Technical Abstract: The Big Sunflower River in northwestern Mississippi drains about 8,000 km2, is a low-gradient slowly-moving stream, and has historically provided a valuable ecological, navigational and recreational resource. However, present conditions are characterized by depauperate physical habitat, depressed baseflows linked to falling groundwater levels, elevated turbidity, and chronically low dissolved oxygen levels. Eight 200-m long reaches were sampled biannually (spring and fall) for three years. Two reaches were located downstream from major weirs; three reaches were located in a channelized reach with a trapezoidal cross-section; and three reaches were in a reach with natural morphology. Fish were collected with boat-mounted electroshockers, and bed material types, water depths, and current velocities were sampled using an acoustic Doppler current profiler. Limited water quality data were collected for comparison with data provided by others. Fish populations appear to be primarily limited by degraded water quality. Low-head weirs support relatively dense and diverse fish assemblages and thus provide local habitat enhancement, but may create stagnant zones upstream due to backwater effects that exacerbate low dissolved oxygen problems.

In March and April, 2002, Team Mahaska embarked on a series of neighborhood meetings in an effort to identify county-wide issues and concerns within the Mahaska Community. Residents from all over the county attended one or more of 13 meetings held throughout the county. This was a first step in putting together a plan of action to improve the quality of life for the county's 22,000 citizens. Those in attendance were asked, "What can be done to improve Mahaska County and its various neighborhoods? What are the issues facing the Mahaska Community? Who should be involved in addressing those issues?"
Based on feedback and answers to those questions as well as continued discussion since those meetings, Team Mahaska compiled a "Strategic Plan" which was released in September 2002. The plan appears below and Acrobat Reader is needed to view the file.

When visiting Bath, it's a "must" to visit the Roman Baths, built around thermal springs which have been supplying water for over 2,000 years.
The Blue Anchor, a 14th Century inn located in Cardiff, hosted our tour group for a traditional Welsh dinner.
A Welsh harpist provided entertainment during dinner and let us take pictures while dessert was being served.
After dinner, we went downstairs to the bar - can you picture anything more English than this???
During our drive along the beautiful Wye Valley, we stopped to see the ruins of Tintern Abbey, founded in May 1131 and written about by Wordsworth and Tennyson.

I had fun choosing this particular painting online that now hangs in my downtown office, from Wahooart.com, who sells canvas prints of art masterpieces. While the original is treasured in some art museum in England, my print http://EN.WahooArt.com/A55A04/w.nsf/Opra/BRUE-8LHS4U, of this painting by Edward Burne-Jones is very much appreciated by my staff and clients. The print quality is really excellent.

I get summit racing rods and it's written on it"scat"
I want to know is it a china product or not??cos in google search all write it's china.
And the piston dome -14 cc....should I keep the recommend GM timing or need to dgree the cam?
Also does any thing wrong with my parts....all are fine and fit the engine?
and approxmately how many the hp for this engine?
the KB recommend the gap for the piston ring 0.026 for the steet normal aspirator and 0.032 for the street tow.
I use the car for loading stuff so will make the gap 0.030....is it ok??and should I make the first and second gap the same or only the first ring?
the gap now is 0.013 and I thin it's too tight ..what you recommend guys....filing the both rings to 0.030 or just the first?
For a TBI engine not much of what you bought is a very good solution. Let's start with the cam, TBI doesn't like and will not work with much cam timing. The one you bought is more for a Tuned Port Injection (TPI) at that a TPI with a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensing rather than Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensing which is what your TBI also uses to determine fueling requirements. MAP sensed systems need a lot of manifold vacuum which gets smaller as the duration and lift at the valve get bigger. The Edlebrock 3702 cam with durations/lift for the intake of 194/.398" and exhaust 214/.442 at the valve is about all TBI will tolerate without needing special, and often quirky, custom chip burning. Lookie here <<<
>>> the other problem with TBI is that it cannot inject enough fuel to sustain more than about 290 horses. This would be with the larger 670 CFM throttle body with the largest injectors that will fit which are rated to 88-90 pounds of fuel per hour. Your stock 305/350 TBI ain't even close to that they will do about 220 horses before they are out of injector capacity.
Compression, you didn't sight what head you've got if original the 1993 TBI engines use the Swirl Port head, these are not very high RPM heads as the vane that creates the swirl obstructs the port preventing revs over 4500 RPM regardless of the cam used. The Swirl Port head comes in two casting with different size chambers the 14102191 has a low compression 74cc chamber while 14102193 has the high compression 64cc chamber. So before you bought pistons you needed to pull a rocker cover to find the casting number of the heads on your engine. A 12cc domed piston is likely to cause compression ratio problems with a super tight tune and iron heads with 91 octane fuel about 9.5 to 1 Static Compression Ratio (SCR) with a mild cam is about as far as you can go without encountering detonation. Go here when you know what head you've got <<<
United Engine & Machine Co. Incorporated
Pushrod length is determined by how the roller on the rocker tip traverses the valve stem tip; you can't determine this till the engine is assembled up to the and including the heads. Then with an adjustable pushrod you place a mark on the stem tip and turn the engine over by hand to get a witness mark of the roller on the stem tip, using this technique the proper mark will determine the pushrod length. Changes in build up from block decking, head milling, head gasket, stack-up changes of the type and manufacturer of heads and certainly changes to roller rockers will affect the needed pushrod length. Follow the instructions found here >>>
COMP Cams® - Sorry...
The SCAT stuff is cast or forged in China and finish machined in the USA and is priced likewise. Most of the high priced brands are also made in China and finished here but are sold at made in America prices. The SCAT stuff is damn good stuff we use a lot of it from street rods to full up race engines. I happen to like and use the SCAT 2-ICR5700 for 5.7 inch rods and really make use of the 2-ICT6000 6 inch rod, these are made from forged 4340 and use capscrews rather than bolts. They are plenty good for hot street engines and Claimer race motors. Capscrews make for a stronger rod as the compromises made in the shape of the shank to allow a headed bolt are avoided. The capscrew rod also gets around the issues of clearancing for a stroker which compromises the bolt head. These rods use a capscrew that passes through an alignment dowel that insures the cap and shank make properly, they also provide an extra step outside the fine-line of the cap and shank interface which is a great help in reacting the tension loads put on the cap when the rod assembly is jerked down on the intake stroke. This is a movement that wants to egg shape the cap which pinches it in at the interface line with the shank. This movement pinches the bearing taking the oil wedge off the rod journal, spinning the bearing and finally failing the rod. the design that SCAT uses along with the capscrew mounting hardware goes a long, long way toward eliminating this most common of rod failures. A bushed rod with floating pins is the only way to go. This eliminates making mistakes disassembling and reassembling pressed pins that can bend and twist the rod and in the case of alloy steels like 3140, 5140, or 4340 unlike the factory mild steel of 1046 or 1053 the alloy steels do not like to be heated and many shops heat the pin end because this is fairly safe to do with mild steel, but with alloy steel it's a disaster in the making as it modifies the molecular structure and destroys the heat treatment of these materials. Stay away from 5140 rods, this stuff is advertised as having the same tensile strength as 4340 at a lower price. While this is true theres more to the performance of a chunk of metal than its tensile strength. In the case of 5140 it is brittle compared to 4340, refer to the Izod Impact Test numbers for these metals, For a connecting rod where the load constantly changes from compression to bending to tensile and repeat again a more brittle material is asking for trouble. 5140 is OK for a crankshaft when running an automatic on one end with an expensive/effective damper on the other. Unfortunately, you've made some really big decisions before coming here first and you have stuff like the pistons that in the first place aren't a good street piston and secondly have defined the rods and crankshaft for you.
Actually the best way to get power out of a TBI engine is to make it bigger a 383 being the way to go, use less cam, use a 670 CFM TBI from an older mid 80's to mid 90's 454 or get a new one from Holley and use a custom chip with the higher manifold vacuum that comes from the milder cam. This makes a much more stable and predictable engine. For about the same cost as what you've sunk this would have been a lot less painful. Now you've got these pistons which have you locked into the 5.7 inch rod. Short of sending this stuff back I don't know what you're going to do about compression especially if you've got 193 heads.
The other way to get more power out of the TBI engine is to replace the heads. The Vortec is always a good choice for these. This type head gets much better power by improving the burn rather than using more fuel and air to burn. This again lets you get away with a milder cam and fewer, if any, changes to the injection programming. Against the very mild OEM cam that the TBI engines use the Vortec head will pick up an easy 20 horses. Given the Edlebrock 3702 cam that will go to 30-40 horses with a like amount of torque increase in both cases. These do get you into some plumbing headaches with the EGR which are not too difficult to solve or with a custom chip the EGR can be eliminated. Dont just disconnect it as this will cause the mixture to go lean more than the LEARN function in the computer can compensate for and you may just toast the engine as a result. There are aftermarket Vortec type heads from many sources in iron and aluminum. For a mild 350 these from Skip White are pretty decent and let you use your current intake <<<

WATCH: Israeli military female recruits dance around assualt rifle
Half-naked Israeli female recruits have been exposed again after racy footage emerged showing them pole dancing around a rifle.
Three women are seen gyrating around the assault weapon - one of whom is dressed in just a G-string and vest, according to The Sun.
The new video is sure to anger army bosses who last week revealed they reprimanded a group of female soldiers who had stripped off and posted the photos on Facebook.

Bangalore: Gautam Gambhir is not worried after Kolkata Knight Riders' second consecutive defeat in IPL-VI on Thursday. Rather he's taking inspiration from last year and hoping to turn things around.
"There are still plenty of games to go… We were in the same position last year as well. Lots of games are at home, the next game is at home, and hopefully, we can turn it around," the Knight Riders captain said.
Gambhir feels there are lot of areas of improvement.
"All the areas, I can't mention one or two. If we want to defend the title and if we want to do well in the tournament, I think we have to do well in all the departments. I can't just say batting or bowling, I think we have got a lot of talent in the dressing room..."
But was the team guilty of bowling too many wides? "That was the plan (to bowl wide on the off) but it didn't work. Look (Chris) Gayle took the game away from us. I think the pacers and every other bowler gave his best.
"As you all know, in this ground 155 was too little to defend. I think all gave their 100 per cent which was more important. And I don't want to mention one or two names of pacers. All of them gave 100 per cent and that's more important for me as a captain."
Gambhir admitted that Gayle took the game away from them.
"We will always have certain plans and we just need to stick to those plans. If plan A doesn't work then plan B will work. But sometimes none of your plans work because Gayle is a quality player and he just took the game away from us. I think all the bowlers did a good job at the start. The plan was to bowl in the good areas but later I think Gayle took the game away from us."

Percentages are for interesting reading. If I went by percentages I woudn't need to have a firearm. But I do:king:
Percentages are for interesting reading. If I went by percentages I woudn't need to have a firearm. But I do:king:
I went to a RACS training seminar several years ago. It featured Dave Spaulding, for those who may recognize the name. He mentioned the "rule of threes". Most defensive situations where a handgun is used for defense happen at 3 yards or less, use 3 rounds or less and are over in 3 seconds or less (and it's usually dark).
Just a little more food for thought.
What will CW holders deal with? .. Car jacking, robbery, rape, assault, road rage, angry neighbor, etc etc ...... I have to imagine the distances are 3 to 6 feet. The biggest safety factor is 'situational awareness', having your gun accessible, and no 'Jam-a-matics'
As Sean Connery lamented in "The Untouchables", ...just like a ______________, bringing a knife to a gun fight". But of course all he had was a double barrel shotgun and Nitty had a Thompson...the moral of the story...so don't bring a shotgun to a machine gun fight. Fill in the blank. I like the idea of not standing to firmly where you are at when being attacked.
I agree with posters that say that LEO deadly encounters (and thereby statistics stated) have little to do with civilian defense situations. The nature of their (LEO) job puts them repeatedly in front of potential badguys. Plus, the LEO readily identifies him/herself as LEO by uniform and equipment. Civilian encounters are a lot different in that the BG thinks the civilian is defenseless (element of surprise).
As to knives.....sure I carry one, but I'm really not trained in it's defensive uses. Mine is carried as a tool to open boxes, etc.......also, there may come a time when a knife is needed (not in a defensive scenerio) to free someone or something from a bad situation.......
Why not settle it by carrying both a gun and a knife?
If you're inside ten feet & clear leather you don't need to raise the gun and aquire the sights. From the retention position against your chest or side you pull the frikkng trigger til the BG goes down.
I carry a SD knife and practice drawing both at the same time. I have learned a few retention techniques using my knife. The main thing within ten feet is getting off the x moving to your left and closing with the BG moving to his right making him revaluate his shot. By blading your body you can make a smaller target of yourself retain your weapon and get a few seconds to draw and fire from virtually point blank range.
Practically speaking, most people aren't mugged from 25' away - the perp would have to start shouting (joke of course). I've always heard most SD shootings happen around a yard to two distance. That is more logical than 4 times that distance.
I seem to remember some FBI (I think) statistics that went, "3 shots, in 3 seconds, at 3 yards" for the "typical" gun fight....
Just a couple of thoughts:
Ive been to a knife fight and didnt have a knife. Ill never do that again. :blink:
Gun vs. Knife: Inside of 21 feet my money is on the guy with the blade.
A man without a knife is only ½ dressed, and thats if hes wearing a gun.
Data from our own Force on Force studies support the fact that most people cannot employ their pistol in less than 1.5-2 seconds on average. Action beats re-action, and we are the ones who will have to react to the bad guy(s) moves. Distance is your friend and that's why (IMO) the stats show more success at longer distances.
To the man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Same holds true for the guy with the gun. Less lethal options (like pepper spray) are a good thing to have with you. But remember that Bad Guys use it, too. So, learn how to fight through it. Close fitting wrap around shooting glasses can prolong the effects momentarily, buying you much needed, very precious time to employ your weapon.

The only reason we may stand a better chance today is that those who voted in the 94 ban were largely voted out of office at the next election - not all, but a good many. Congress still remembers this and, although there is a desire to stop school shootings, etc. there are still a lot of gun owners who will be severely irritated if their Constitutionally guaranteed rights - in some cases at both the State and Federal level - are removed or severely restricted.
I would not be surprised to see an EO adding certain classes of weapons - broad classes - added to the list where machine guns and silencers reside. Whether this will require a retro permit, revocation or simply a no new sales ban is not clear, but I expect congress to be end run on this one.

1.Betty Fink's transcription of records from Hilderbergh Reformed Church, Guilderland: Baptism record shows a child David born Dec. 1, 1789 (bp Feb 24 1790) to John Trainer and Martha Springer (daughter of David b ca 1732) - witnesses: Benjamin Springer and Henrietta Oliver.
2. Federal census 1790 Watervliet shows Benjamin Springer, his son Vincent Springer and John Trainor and their families listed as numbers 533, 534, and 535 in that census.
Some questions:
1. Dennes/Daniel Springer married Margaritta Vrooman (previously married to Johannes Vrooman) about 1798 Princetown, Schenectady. They had at least three children: Henrietta bp 15 July, 1806; Necholas bp 15 July 1806; and Benjamin bp 30 July 1809. The same information is found on 'Family Search' and in the Baptisms recorded at the Helderbergh Reformed Church, Guilderland and Johathan Pearson's First Settlers. Does this Dennes/Daniel fit in either David Springer or Benjamin Springer line? It would appear to be the case sinse Benjamin Springer and Margarita Oliver were witnesses to birth of Henrietta, May 30 1799 to parents Dennis Springer and Margritta Vrooman (Helderbergh Reformed, Guilderland records).
2. Benjamin Springer and Dennis Springer are shown as enlisted men in the Albany County Militia - Third Regiment about 1775. Is this Benjamin the Benjamin b1737 and is this Dennis the Dennis who married Margarita Vrooman?
3. Oliver Springer b.Feb 22, 1778, son of Benjamin Springer and Hendrijke Oliver died 15 Sept, 1831. His son Benjamin O. Springer (b.1805 according to the 1860 Iowa federal census) married 2x first Eliza Batchelor and second, Mary Ann Michel (born Ireland). Benjamin moved west to Decatur County, Iowa. He had at least 10 children, some of who were born in Ohio. He died July 17, 1871. See the Biographical and Historical Record of Ringgold and Decatur counties, Iowa, (Lewis Publishing Company 1887 p.527). Is this information useful?
4. Information concerning David Springer's birth ca 1732 and biographical background appear to be available in the American Genealogical-Biographical Index v.166. More specifically, General Column, Boston Transcript 1906-1941, 26 July 1933, 6760. Have not been able to access. Is this where the March 1732 birth date comes from?
Some addional information regarding the theory that Richard Oliver adopted David and Benjamin. It is noted in Loudoun's Enquiry of November 1756 that Richard Oliver was a Dram Shop owner. It shows that he had ample accommodations (8 rooms) for himself, his wife Martha, and their two children remaining at home, plus David and Margaret (no surviving children at that point) and Benjamin who had not yet married Hendrijke Oliver.
The 'Lawrence' group is named for descendants of Lawrence Springer and his wife Marth Hicks.
Lawrence Springer was born in Barbados, the son of John Springer and Margaret. While little is known about John, quite a bit is known about Lawrence. A web site devoted mainly to Lawrence Springer & Martha Hicks (Rhode Island) can be found at:
