It's interesting that the VENTING is the biggest difference between the OEM and the suggested alternatives. Thanks for summarizing that so well for these batteries.

This is the kind of empirical information we need!
So that others benefit, I added your 4-size recommendations to the canonical thread on testing the battery. I referenced back here so as to leverage all your work without having to repeat it! I always try to leverage your stuff because it's just so good!

That's a GREAT IDEA!
I think the biggest problem with the Johnson Controls Duralast 49-DL is that the vent hose 'might' get pinched (which is likely why it's never listed as a direct 1:1 replacement in the 'official' battery searches).
So, anything we do to alleviate that pinching, is something we must report so that OTHERS don't end up with exploded batteries due to ignorance of these tricks.
Luckily, it just so happens that I don't think I gave Autozone my old red battery terminal cover. So, I'll try out your suggestion and post a picture if it works well!
In addition, if it works, we need to get the word out so that others know not to return the red plastic battery cap cover!

John Naka
John Yoshio Naka (August 16, 1914, Ft. Lupton, Colorado – May 19, 2004, Whittier, California) was an American horticulturist, teacher, author, and master bonsai cultivator.[1]
He was born a Nisei Japanese-American, but at age 8 moved back to his parents' home country, where he extensively studied the art of bonsai due to his grandfather's influence.
He returned to the United States near Boulder, Colorado in 1935, and then in late 1946 settled in Los Angeles, California with his wife Alice and their three sons, Eugene, Robert, and Richard. In Orange County, Naka and four friends founded a bonsai club in November, 1950, which is known today as the California Bonsai Society. He became a very important force in American bonsai art in the 1950s–60s. He was a driving force in the spread of bonsai appreciation and the practice of bonsai art in the West and elsewhere. Naka traveled and taught extensively around the world, at conventions and clubs, but refused to hold classes in Japan (where bonsai had been highly developed along certain lines over the centuries), saying "They want me to teach, and I tell them it's like trying to preach to Buddha."
A very few of his many accomplishments are the following: He published two books, entitled Bonsai Techniques I and Bonsai Techniques II, texts that are revered as being the bibles of western bonsai to many artists. These books would be translated into French, German, Italian, and Spanish by 1990. He contributed articles, forewords, and photographs to a number of specialty magazines and books. Nina S. Ragle's compilation of 287 proverbs presented in both Japanese and English from Naka, Even Monkeys Fall Out of Trees, was published in 1987. (The title refers to the little recognized fact that, yes, even bonsai masters can make a mistake.) He was a founding director of the World Bonsai Friendship Federation (WBFF) and a co-signer of the Constitution of the Latin-American Bonsai Federation (LABF). He was an honorary advisor to the National Bonsai Foundation. Naka was chosen in 1992 as one of thirteen honorees to receive a National Heritage Fellowship, the first bonsai artist to receive this prestigious award. At the time he received his Fellowship, he said, "It has a beginning but no end. A bud today becomes a branch tomorrow." He was awarded a 1992 National Endowment for the Arts fellowship.[2]
Other quotes of his included "Bonsai is not the result: that comes after. Your enjoyment is what is important"; "It must have philosophy, botany, artistry, human quality behind it to be a bonsai"; "The bonsai is not you working on the tree; you have to have the tree work on you"; and "Leave room for the birds to fly through" the branches of your bonsai. Of Naka's many works, the most recognizable composition is Goshin, which means "protector of the spirit." It is a group planting of eleven foemina junipers, each tree placed to represent one of Naka's grandchildren. The planting can be seen on display at the National Arboretum. About a month before he died, Naka donated his very first bonsai, a Montezuma Cypress, to the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum. In May 2005, a collection of over 80 of his drawings of how he envisioned the future development of various workshop participants' trees was published as John Naka's Sketchbook, edited by Jack Billet and Cheryl Manning.
On May 23, 1960 Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Shunichiro Fujiyama presented Mr. Naka with an honorary citation from the Japanese government for his effort in promotion of goodwill and friendship between Japan and the United States.[3]
On November 24, 1967 Mr. Naka received an honorary medal and citation from the President of Japanese Agricultural Affairs Department, Prince Norihito Takamatsu and Eikichi Hiratsuka.
On May 20, 1972 the County of Los Angeles' Supervisor Mr. Ernest E. Debs presented Mr. Naka an honorary citation on behalf of the County for "his outstanding contributions to the Japanese-American friendship by providing the people of Los Angeles and the nation with ability to understand and appreciate the beauty and significance of bonsai culture."
In 1985, Emperor Hirohito of Japan bestowed upon Naka the most prestigious award for a non-Japanese citizen, The Fifth Class of the Order of the Rising Sun.[4]
In 2001, a portrait bust, by Bonnie Kobert-Harrison, was unveiled at the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum, National Arboretum, Washington, D.C.[5]
He was awarded a 2009 Pacific Pioneer Award posthumously.[6] The American Bonsai Society named the John Naka Award for him.[7] An endowment fund was established in his name.[8]

|Cherry popsicle lips~♥
Since the pictures I made doesn't go into much details, I'm going to explain the step by step tutorial of achieving the Cherry Popsicle gradient lips style here. Technically, the lighter shade is applied on the outer edges and the darker shade is applied on the innderside of your lips.
♥TIPS♥ Lip Preparation: you'll be layering tons of product on your lips and you don't want the products to clung onto every lines on your lips, resulting a clumpy look. >_< Make sure to apply a lipbalm the night before and exfoliate in the morning, the product used will glides on smoother on your soft lips~♥
♥ Lip Gloss Gradient Lips~How to:
1. After exfoliate, apply a layer of lipbalm. You may also use a clear non-glossy lip primer.
2. Apply any milky tint you have (I'm using Etude House Fresh Cherry tint peach) to your WHOLE lips evenly, upper, lower, innderside, and outerside. With this, you now have a pair of lips with good and pretty undertone.
3. Now, this is the most important thing, apply lip concealer (you may substitute it with BB cream or foundation) only on the outer edge of your lower lips, and apply it thinly on your upper lips. The concealer will even out any unwanted dark pigmentation on your outer edge of lips, makes them appear smaller.
4. Now, you will need a very pigmented lip tint (I use TONY MOLY lip tint in cherry pink), Dab the color accross the center of your lower lips, starting from inside. Blend it will your finger/brush. (using lip tint wth watery consistency is recommended.)
5. To make the gradient looks better, swipe a light colored lip tint around the rim of the darker color you've applied before, it will creates a perfect gradient. Then apply it on upper lips lightly. Be sure not to apply the concealed area.
♥TIPS♥ I know that we often tempted to smack our lips after each application, if you want to smack your lips together, do it lightly :)
6. Take your darker lip gloss and dab the color on the innerside of your lips, starting from inside. Again, remember not to let the darker gloss goes onto outeredge area of your lips.
7. Take your nude lip gloss, and swipe a little bit of the color on the outer edge of your lips. Blend well with the tip or lip brush. DONE~!
Here's the finished look of Cherry Popsicle Glossy Gradient!
My camera is exaggerating the color. >.< The color looks vivider and makes me a lil bit vampy, but actually it looks more natural in real life.
(Products used: Luview Glossy Kiss, Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in peach, Etude House Color Me Nude, Tony Moly lip tint in cherry pink, The Face Shop lovely me:ex tint.)
And now, for those who want to skip all the hassle, you can still achieve this look easily, here's how I do it:
♥ Easy Gradient Lips ~ How to:
1. Undertone is a key, undertone your whole lips first with any milky tint you have and apply a concealer on the outeredge of your lips. Blend in with your finger.
2. Dab a little bit of pigmented lip tint (watery consistency) to the innerside of your lips, starting from the inside. Be sure you're not overdoing it. Use your finger to blend the color.
DONE! if you want 3D finished look, you can apply a clear lip gloss afterwards. ^-^ (I use B&C Makemania Curvy Lip Silicone) However, this version looks more natural irl. (Product used: Tony Moly lip tint in cherry pink, Etude House color me nude lip concealer, Etude House fresh cherry tint in peach.)
Very easy to accomplish!
This is how it looks with indoor lighting, more natural isnt it?
And for the products... basically you can use any type of lip tint, lip gloss, or even a lip stick. But I prefer to use lip tint because it stays longer.
♥KEYPOINT♥ The perfect gradient could only be achieved by using products with a same undertone. Pink to peach is still acceptable. For example, red to pink is good, but red to peach won't make a good gradation.
Click the link to read my reviews for each products ^^
Luview Glossy Kiss, Etude House Color Me Nude lip concealer, Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint, THE FACE SHOP Lovely Me:ex tint,TONY MOLY lip tint.
So that would be all! You can create your own version of gradient lips ^-^ In general, the less intense the color is, the more natural it would be. So this is my intense and vivid version of 'CHERRY POPSICLE' gradient lips.
♥LAST NOTE♥ If you find this too intense for you, you can reduce the amount of pigmented tint used.
I hope you girls enjoyed this tutorial and I'd be happy if you find it helpful. ^-^ And if you like the tutorial, you can follow my blog too~♥ it would be greatly appreaciated! Thanks for reading and I'll see you soon~

When John Ruggie of the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) challenged a multinational oil company to total the cost of permit delays, shutdowns, slowdowns, and other disruptions caused by conflicts with local residents over two years, the tally came to $6.5 billion, a number large enough to make even a company with $20 billion in annual profits sit up and take notice.
The cost of those problems never had been added up in one place, and so had been allowed to fester, Ruggie said.
Similarly, a Peruvian mining company lost as much as $20 million a week when its operations were disrupted by local protests. The company handled its problems by bringing in armed security people to violently break up demonstrations.
The lesson, Ruggie said in a talk Thursday at HKS' Belfer building and that was part of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government's seminar series, is that local dissatisfaction stemming from perceived abuses by major corporations can be expensive. The costs, he said, can be buried in bookkeeping, or ignored, or absorbed as a cost of doing business.
In addition to the moral imperatives of behaving ethically, such scenarios illustrate why it makes business sense for corporations to pay attention to human rights and concerns and develop procedures to handle grievances before they explode in unrest, according to Ruggie, the Berthold Beitz Professor in Human Rights and International Affairs at HKS and an affiliated professor in international legal studies at Harvard Law School.
At the behest of then-United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, Ruggie has been traveling the globe for the last six years, focusing on the issue of human rights and multinational corporations. In 2011, that research led to his presenting the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to the U.N. Human Rights Council, which adopted them. They have since been accepted in some form by the International Finance Corp., the European Union, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the International Organization for Standardization.
Ruggie's approach, outlined in a new book, "Just Business: Multinational Corporations and Human Rights," presents a three-part framework summed up by the phrase: protect, respect, and remedy.
Governments, Ruggie said, have the duty to protect their citizens from corporate abuses, and so have an important role to play in regulating business activity within their boundaries. Corporations have their own role, which is to respect the human rights of people with whom they interact. Local residents, for their part, have the right to have any wrongs redressed.
Ruggie and the researchers who worked with him on the project came up with 31 principles to help put that framework into action. Among them are the propositions that governments should pass and enforce appropriate laws to regulate corporate behavior, and that corporations should not only adopt policies affirming a commitment to human rights, but perform advance due diligence to investigate the potential impacts of proposed activities on rights.
He used Shell Oil's experience in Nigeria as an example of how things can go wrong, and how they might have gone differently. Complaints of environmental damage, pipelines running through fields, and other concerns were ignored by both Shell and the Nigerian government. If the company had listened to local people's concerns, it might have avoided a popular backlash and associated business disruptions that include smashed pipes, protests, and a violent government crackdown, as well as ongoing legal action.
Ruggie, who spoke about the work to 50 faculty members and students during a lunchtime gathering, got involved in what he thought initially was a very different project.

Markets Fluctuated on Fiscal Cliff Deadlock
Financial markets fluctuated amid political tensions in Italy and the stalemate of the fiscal cliff talk between the GOP and the Democrats. Wall Street ended the day modestly higher with the DJIA and the S&P 500 adding +0.11% and +0.03% respectively. Crude oil soared earlier in the day after a report of Chinese demand. Sentiment was then dampened by macroeconomic news. The front-month contract for WTI crude oil slipped -0.43% while the equivalent Brent crude contract climbed +0.29%. Gold rose for a 3rd consecutive day with the benchmark Comex contract rising to a 5-day high of 1718.8 before settling at 1714.4, up +0.52%
Negotiation on resolving the fiscal cliff remained a deadlock although House of Speaker Boehner said that talks were ongoing during the week between the White House and the Republicans. However it seems that both sides refused to surrender some ground so as to get the deal done. The GOP said that it's awaiting a Democrat counter proposal to its rejected $2.2 trillion plan. President Obama stated that it is essential to implement a package that "keeps taxes where they are for middle-class families" He stressed that he would not compromise on the principle that "the wealthiest Americans" should pay "a slightly higher tax rate".
Chinese customs showed that oil imports increased to 5.69M bpd, up +3% y/y, in November. Oil refinery runs soared above 10.1M bpd last month. Also, China's oil refinery throughput rose in November by 9.1% from the same period a year ago. Strong domestic demand also caused reduction in exports. The country's overall exports grew +2.9% in November, compared with expectations for +9% and October's +11.6%.
On the dataflow, Germany's ZEW current situation index probably climbed to 6 in December from 5.4 a month ago while economic sentiment might have improved to -11.5 from -15.7 in November. US' trade deficit might have widened to US$42.6B in October from 41.5B in the prior month while Canada's trade deficit probably widened to CAD1.2B in October from 0.8B in September.

Dimitar Berbatov has admitted that he believes Manchester United will go in search of another striker this summer but has declared that he has no intentions of leaving of Old Trafford because he will not find a better club.
Berbatov has announced his decision from to retire from international football and amid a candid appraisal of two years at United in which he has managed only 26 goals, has insisted that he has had no conversations with Milan or Bayern Munich, who reportedly have an interest in him.
"I'm sure United will buy a new striker, but I am there and that's important," the 29-year-old said. "I will try to fulfil my contract because where would I go after United? I have reached the top with them. I do not know about interest from other clubs and I have had no meetings because I am a Manchester United player. In my two years, things could have been better, but they could have been worse too. I have had my moments."
The Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, for whom United agreed a £35m fee 12 months ago only for a deal to fall through because of the Frenchman's wage demands, may be a target for them again.
Berbatov's languid approach to the game and visible discontent with team-mates on the pitch have invited criticism from United fans. His failure to deliver when Wayne Rooney was injured last month also raised the most searching questions yet about his future at the club. The United assistant manager Mike Phelan recently admitted that getting the best out of Berbatov could be a challenge. But the striker was indignant about his on-pitch demeanour. "I might not seem happy, but I can't grin like an idiot on the field. I do not show any emotions, but I'm really happy because I am with the biggest team in the world."
Berbatov may need a knee operation this summer to remove some muscular debris which has been troubling him since before the turn of the year and his fitness levels have contributed to him quitting the international scene, where he overtook Hristo Bonev as Bulgaria's all-time leading scorer in November when he got his 48th goal in a friendly against Malta. His relationship with his national side has also been turbulent, with Berbatov having been heavily criticised for his performances by the vice-president of the Bulgarian Football Association, Yordan Lechkov, in 2008.
"I didn't discuss my decision with Sir Alex [Ferguson], but you know when to say 'enough' and I have had ailments for several months," Berbatov added. His decision is a blow for the Bulgaria coach Stanimir Stoilov and means he will not face England in September's 2012 European Championship qualifier. Berbatov's focus is on United, though. "I have won the championship and the Carling Cup, but people had great expectations for the money it cost to sign me," he said. "We do not know what will happen in the third year."

AI Breeding Controversy Taken To High Court
The Australian Racing Board is preparing to fight a legal challenge to overturn the current ban on artificial insemination (AI) within the Australian thoroughbred industry.
The controversial hearing began on Monday in Sydney's Federal Court and is due to continue for six weeks.

I have ridden many different motorbikes since I started in 1990; at that time in Switzerland you had to start on a 125ccm and have ridden it for a minimum of 2 years before being allowed to move up in engine size.
My first bike was a Honda Custom 125ccm; I actually started with riding a bike because my father – a former police officer – had forbidden it!
He had said that a motorbike would be far too dangerous and he wanted to prevent his youngest daughter from having a dangerous hobby.
After a couple of years he was really proud of me – there hadn't been many women on the road in the 90's.
After being able to ride a "big" bike I had a couple of different bikes: Yamaha XJ 600, Suzuki GS750 Inazuma, Honda CB 750, BMW G650GS, BMW F650GS (798ccm).
All of them were great bikes and I had ridden many tens of thousands of kilometres with them for over 25 years.
I've spent my holidays traveling to countries like: Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania, Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia (one of my favourites).
Then in 2012 a friend of mine 'forced' me to ride his off-road bike; he said "hey, try it, it will be fun and you will love it". I fell into the dirt many times, but he was absolutely right, I loved it. I had to try something new and I had to try to go over my own barriers.
It was fun. Although I'm far too small for the classic off-road bikes and so I bought a KTM EXC250. I had it lowered a bit and bought the off-road clothes in the children section – because you could hardly find anything for women of 165cm and 55kg! I started my off-road 'career' a couple of weeks after my first try.
Together with my off-road friends – all men of course – we go twice a year for 1 week to Spain, France or Italy and hire a local guide there to show us all the fun off-road tracks of the regions.
The KTM was a little too aggressive for me and the maintenance was quite expensive. So I decided to sell it and buy something less aggressive and more reliable bike - that's how I found my 'Suzy Blue'.
For the past 2 years I've just used it for my off-road trips until in February 2014, on my 45th birthday, I decided to go on a trip to make my long-life dream come true: 6 months on a bike and because I had read Lois Pryce book 'Lois on the loose' just some weeks before – along the Panamericana from Alaska to Chile, I decided this is what I wanted to do. There was a lot of planning; and of course the most important question: what bike should I take with me?
Traveling alone, I had some clear ideas of what I needed. I needed a bike I could lift up on my own (just in case); a bike that was not too maintenance complicated; a bike I could ride on any road condition and a bike I already knew I could handle. With this requirement profile it was absolutely clear to me: I would not take my street bike but instead my Suzuki DRZ400.
It was already lowered a bit with a lever and I easily found the luggage that suited me – it was the best choice I ever made and we were the perfect team!
I travelled all sorts of landscapes, street conditions and altitudes with no problems at all; she was the best companion I could have on such a trip. Suzy Blue was admired all around; although in North America they could hardly believe that such a trip was possible on such a small bike and in Central and South America they could hardly believe that a woman was travelling with such a big bike!
Many times over my motorcycling years I've been asked:
The first time I heard every question I really thought about it and could not find a sensible answer because there is only one possible and right answer - WHY NOT? In the 90's there were not many women riding a bike and there had not been a huge choice of 'good' bikes for women: not too high, not too heavy, comfortable. But still the question why?
In many other things women have been set free from the 'norm' however, not really so with dangerous sports. Maybe it's this, along with its danger and being a typical male thing.
But what about the reaction of men about a woman on a bike?
I think that changed a lot within the last 25years. At the beginning they just smiled at me – women can't ride like they can't park a car. For me, the best way to overcome this is to show them the opposite. I still enjoy it when I see that a man just smiling with that look on his face 'cute, a little woman on a motorbike' and then knowing that when being overtaken by me he realises that 'the little one' is able to ride the bike at least as good as him and the most important point: she loves riding as much as he does his!
It may be that women have a certain lack of the speed thrill or the competition fever, but I don't see that as a problem, I see it as respect. And that's never a bad habit to have, moving on the streets with a vehicle that has almost no protection for the driver. And we may not be that interested in techniques. Of course it may be that we still have too much respect for engines and everything that has to do with it. But I also guess we women think more practically – women always had to manage their families, have a part time job, and and and….. It's not the sound that is important nor the brand. Being in a group of bikers they often ask: what are you driving? And I know that they expect me to say: BMW or Triumph or Suzuki or…. or whatever brand I think is best. But I always say: I ride a motorcycle ! A bike to me is all about comfortability and whether I can handle it. I want to discover the world with it - even if it's only the small world of my own country most of the time. Course it has to look good as well!
I need to be able to handle my own bike – to not be dependent on a man to help me with parking, manoeuvres or things like that – more than once I've helped other women turn their bikes around or get it out of tight parking spot. Coupled with that is the need to be able to reach the ground with both feet, even at least a little bit.
Since I started riding off-road I've learned a great deal more: my driving skills have improved; I've learned many new important maintenances tips from my friends; my self-confidence has improved a lot and that's another reason why I went on my trip alone.
I was asked all the time on my trip 'Why are you, as a woman, riding alone? I'd answer 'Why not?'. It is not really more dangerous. You just have to consider some things a bit different traveling alone as a woman. Again: respect is the keyword. Respect of the circumstances, the situation, the habits of a country, and sometimes it is even easier being a woman: no police officer, no military control post treated me badly or rudely. On the contrary, no speed fees, no long proof of documents; they enjoyed talking to me; were more curious about where to, where from…
Nowadays there are more and more men that don't care whether you are a woman or a man. I even think that sometimes they are a little proud having a woman in their group – concerning the off-road stuff anyway. It is still male dominated – and will probably always be, for me that's ok. As a woman I just want to be accepted – because I'm riding a motorcycle and not because I'm a woman and that's what I expect from the motorcycle industry too. There are still more women on earth than men, so it's a huge market opening for the motorcycle industry. They just have to realise that!
And to all the women in this world. No matter what bike you ride, no matter where you ride it, whatever you love to do, just do it! There are no barriers - than the barriers in your head.

BOYS' SOCCER: Cornejo shines on offense for Coosa High Eagles
Whether the Coosa Eagles needed a spark on offense or defense, Brayan Cornejo was their guy.
A powerful striker, but also a nimble sweeper, Cornejo did it all for the Eagles throughout their regular season and into the second round of the AA state soccer playoffs.
He scored a school record 43 goals, totaling 132 for his career. He had 20 assists and was involved in over two-thirds of Coosa's goals despite suffering from nagging injuries throughout the season.
For those accomplishments, Cornejo is the Rome News-Tribune Offensive Player of the Year.
"Brayan is one of the most versatile and athletic players I have ever coached," said Coosa head coach Randy Vice.
"Any time a player switches from defense to offense in a season and breaks the school record, you have to believe he is something special."
Cornejo was the backbone for Coosa's offensive attack, consistently making runs at the opposition's back line and finding teammates in open space.
The striker used his frame to create space as he pushed the ball easily from outside in.
When he found himself near the penalty box, Cornejo was dangerous, as he possessed the ball, threatening to shoot from nearly any spot within 20 yards.
The Eagles' most consistent player, Cornejo shifted to the midfield against top-tier offensive attacks, settling to defend and occasionally pushing up when he could as an attacker.
The senior was selected as a DiVarsity All-Star after his stellar season.

Riverside Avondale Tour of Homes -- April 27 & April 28
Riverside Avondale Preservation
Multiple Dates
Event Details
Each spring for the past thirty-nine years, residents of the Riverside Avondale Historic District have opened their homes to guests in an effort to raise money for the city's premier grassroots historic preservation organization. This April 27th and 28th, doors will open once again for a two-day, self-guided tour. Ticket price is good for both Saturday and Sunday.
The Riverside Avondale Historic District has one of the most diverse collections of architectural styles of any neighborhood in the country. It's also one of the most beautiful and dynamic areas--in fact, Riverside Avondale was named one of America's 10 Great Neighborhoods by the American Planning Association. If you're interested in history or architecture, or just want to pick up some great ideas on home improvement, interior design and landscaping, make sure you make plans to attend this popular event.
Ten beautifully restored homes, one historic church and a garden will be featured on this year's tour, which promises to be a very special one. Participants will have a rare opportunity to step inside several of the district's most significant homes. Here are a few of homes that will be open for the tour.
3420 St. Johns Avenue: With its massive symmetrical front facade, tile roof and surrounding lush garden, this 1926 home is a perfect example of the Mediterranean Revival style that flourished in Florida during the 1920s and 1930s.
You don't want to miss the impressive ballroom constructed around a brilliant 72-bulb chandelier from a New Orleans hotel or the impecably landscaped grounds of this stately Avondale home.
*Photo credits Ed Wackrow
1102 Copeland: This 1917 beauty is a Queen Anne style home with a formal front entry that showcases an inviting wrap-around veranda with tapered wood columns set on rusticated block piers. The colorful exterior and beautiful tree canopy invite visitors to enjoy the home.
The pristine exterior has decorative features that flow effortlessly into the interior of the home where the tapered wooden posts on the porch are repeated in the columns separating the parlor from the foyer.

Books Now Outnumber Games in the iTunes App Store
Posted on March 10, 2010Apple's iTunes App store is a growing source for content. People download a wide variety of apps from navigation tools to shopping aids, but they also buy games and books on iTunes. Mobclix reports that the number of book apps on iTunes now outnumbers the number of games. You can see the latest chart here, which shows there are nearly 27,000 book apps on iTunes.
Penguin's digital publisher, Jeremy Ettinghausen, told the Guardian that most of the books listed on iTunes are free downloads. Ettinghausen also says "it's very easy to produce books for the iPhone" which helps explain why books outnumber games on iTunes.
Apple is hoping that when the iPad goes on sale on April 3rd more people will start buying books from iTunes.com.

Final Stats (PDF) | 2011 Overall Season Stats
Greenville, N.C.—Senior forward Tiffini Turpin scored the golden goal in the 101st minute, lifting UAB to a 3-2 win in double overtime in the Blazers' season finale against East Carolina at the ECU Soccer Stadium on Sunday.
Turpin tallied all three of UAB's goals for her first career hat trick and closed the season with 11 points in the final seven games. The Birmingham native ended her career on a high note while the Blazers (6-12-1, 3-7-1 C-USA) fell slightly short of qualifying for the C-USA Championship.
"It was a good way to end the season. Our offensive game was good," UAB head coach Harold Warren said. "Tiffini got a nice hat trick and Carolyn [Polcari] had two assists. We did what we needed to do."
Turpin finished her career with 11 game-winning goals, placing her in a three-way tie for first on UAB's all-time list with Sally Palmer (2004-07) and Adrienne Suffridge (1999-02).
The Blazers notched the first goal Sunday in the 36th minute when sophomore Abby Phillips served Turpin, who shot the ball from 21 yards out to find the back of the net.
ECU (10-7-1, 5-6-0) retaliated in the 79th minute as the Pirates regained possession after a UAB foul. Chrissy Gratz launched the free kick from 35 yards out and the ball found its way past UAB keeper CJ Winship.
Just three minutes later Polcari passed to Turpin, who beat Pirate keeper Berit Hansen with a shot high under the cross bar for the go-ahead goal.
With four minutes remaining in regulation, ECU tallied the equalizer. Lexi Miller ripped a shot into the upper left corner of the goal thanks to a great pass from Beth Batchelor.
The score remained knotted 2-2 through the first period of overtime. The Blazers wasted no time at the beginning of the second overtime period as Turpin netted the ball in the first 51 seconds. Polcari registered her second assist of the game as she found Turpin, who fired the shot into the lower left corner.
The Pirates out-cornered the Blazers 6-4 and held a 22-13 shot advantage. Winship was a wonder between the posts, making 10 saves.

REDLANDS >> Alisa Slaughter is no stranger to writing.
But her newest work, "Bad Habitats," is gaining the attention of several Southern California publications and fans after a limited edition run was published earlier this year.
An associate professor of creative writing at the University of Redlands, "Habitats" is a combination of six lined short stories featuring animals as its main characters dealing with real-life problems.
"Several years ago (the Redlands Daily Facts) published a story about a mountain lion that came into Redlands and went into somebody's house, and scared a lot of people. I thought about that mountain lion and turned him into a person, but with mountain lion (characteristics)," Slaughter said Thursday.
The first run of the book was limited, but a second is now available at several bookstores online and in stores. They include the U of R bookstore, Prison Library Project bookstore — 915 W. Foothill Blvd. — in Claremont, Skylight Books — 1818 N. Mt. Vernon Ave. — in Los Angeles and Beyond Baroque — 681 Venice Blvd. — in Venice Beach.
"Normally when a book is published with a bigger press, they have a distribution deal so you can get it on Amazon. But my book is so small it is not on Amazon," Slaughter said.
Despite not being made available through the online giant, "Habitats" has earned accolades from the Orange County Weekly, KPFK Radio and the Los Angeles Book Fair. It also received the Gold Line Press Fiction Chapbook award.
Slaughter remains humble through it all.
"It's not getting a lot of accolades because it is a small book. So there's not a lot of pressure... to make me think of the next big thing," she said.
Slaughter, a Mountain Home Village resident, has worked for the U of R since 2000, and credits the university allowing her to explore her creativity.
In addition to "Habitats," Slaughter has had several fiction and creative nonfiction works published in several literary journals, including the Santa Monica Review, The Missouri Review and SundaySalon.org.
At the U of R she teaches workshops in fiction, nonfiction, literary magazines and Russian literature, the university said.
"I'm very lucky to have a day job that values what I do, because a lot of writers don't have that," she said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/8/2014 (1036 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A local business is putting up a cash reward to catch a spray paint-wielding tagger.
Dr. Ed Agnew, owner of the Brandon Dental Centre on Princess Avenue, arrived at work Thursday morning to a message scrawled on the side of his building:
"F--- the the free world (sic)."
Frustrated with the "type of mentality we have in this city," Agnew is offering a $500 reward to anyone with information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the culprit.
"I think a judge should make that little sucker clean it off," he said. "This guy is no Banksy," referring to the famous U.K.-based street artist.
A program announced by the Brandon Police Service in April targeted the issue of graffiti in the city by providing graffiti victims with a voucher good for a discount on spray removal products at various locations in Brandon.
But Agnew isn't convinced that solves the problem.
"I don't see any sense to that," he said. "It doesn't stop the person that's doing it. Why don't they find out who does this and get the guy up in front of a judge?"
Research in other major cities has shown that when vandalism is cleaned up, there is an increased sense of community pride and it also sends a direct message to the culprits.
Agnew said it doesn't matter if the graffiti includes swear words or not.
"It doesn't matter what it says," he said. "The point is that it's a nuisance and it adds to the degree of maintenance the owners have to do on these buildings and it costs money and time to do that."
The front door of the neighbouring Hurl's Food Mart was also tagged.
"Whoever is doing it should be made to take that graffiti off and that's all there is to it," Agnew said.

So most of the fall TV shows have wrapped up, and the summer shows are starting. I'm looking forward to the start of Covert Affairs this month.
For the most part, I've enjoyed all the season finales (and even the cliffhangers) over the past few weeks of shows like Arrow, The Blacklist, and The Good Wife, but there's one finale that I'm still thinking about—the finale of How I Met Your Mother.
Oh, boy.
I've always really enjoyed HIMYM, but I was not a fan of the finale. In fact, it sort of ruined the whole show for me, especially since the point of the show for nine seasons seemed to be Ted finding the Mother, the love of his life. But if you've seen the finale, you know the show was really about something and someone else entirely. I kind of feel like the whole thing was a bait and switch.
Finales can be hard to do, especially with a long-running series like HIMYM. It can be difficult to wrap up every single plot thread and leave fans with a satisfying conclusion. But, man. I was not expecting everything that happened in the HIMYM finale, and it was not satisfying to me at all. I've enjoyed watching reruns of the show, but now that I know how it ends? Even the reruns have lost some of their charm. Like I said, the finale sort of ruined the whole show for me.
I've been thinking about book finales too. The finale of the Hunger Games trilogy is another one that didn't work for me. I kind of felt like everything that Katniss went through was for nothing, since a certain character doesn't make it back home at the end of the series. On the other hand, I thought the end of the Harry Potter series was very well done and let readers leave the characters knowing that Harry and company were in a good place.
Maybe it's cliché, but at the end of the day—or TV show or book—I want the characters to get their happy endings. To me, those are the most satisfying finales.
What about you guys? Did you enjoy the HIMYM finale? What do you think are some good book and TV finales?

square that one for us.
The teal season is a "special season" that was first considered in the early 1960's when restrictive hunting regulations were leading to searches for additional opportunities from populations that were considered "under-harvested", like bluewings and scaup (how things have changed, eh?). The bag limit for ducks in those days was 4 per day, so the teal season limit was 4.
The teal season was controversial. Northern states did NOT support it, especially since they were not allowed to participate as "production" states. The USFWS wasn't real supportive either, so keeping the bag limit at 4 instead of 10 or 5 (during point-system days) was seen as a conservative compromise to maintain support for the season.
I'd also like to note that in 1992, 1993, and 1994, the limit during the Teal season was 4 per day, but the limit during the regular duck season was only 3 per day. For some reason, I didn't hear one single duck hunter wondering about the inconsistency in the bag limits in those seasons.
Fast-forward to today. Texas has been asking for a 6 per day bag limit on teal for a few years, and the northern states still want to participate. The USFWS has created an ad-hoc committee, of which I am a member, to scientifically evaluate the harvest potential for blue-winged teal in an attempt to create a biological foundation for dealing with these requests. Of course, much of the bluewing harvest comes from Mexico and South America, so the job faces some big difficulties. But the goal is to see if we can increase the limit and/or allow the northern states to have a teal season without negatively affecting the population of bluewings, which is pretty dynamic as it is.

If you are ever considering the use of CSS Fonts in any project (web, mobile...) this little one of 58 pages is a must. You will find no black magic here, but a great primer on how and where to add some CSS code and "hey presto!" have a much nicer looking web page. All using standards, everything from Font families, faces, weight, styles, etc. It even covers font matching, a rather unfrequent technique used to guarantee the most similar UI font experience on any user agent.The book is full of little code bits that serve as good base for your own CSS stuff. I missed a more complete example, kind of a "walk through" sample showing what can be achieved with the use of CSS fonts (well, one can always revert to Google for that I guess). This makes this book more a quick-guide style than anything else.Not much more to say, it's a short one you can read in a relaxed afternoon and since the book is all-standard, you will sure make use of some of it's contents sooner rather than later.

Tyrone Williams - WR - Jeffersonville (IN)
Williams is just beginning to emerge, but his 6'2, 205-lb frame and physical play along with his ability to make tough grabs in traffic has gotten him noticed on film. Illinois, Purdue and Akron have offered and schools like Indiana and Cincinnati may be close behind.
Onyi Afoaku - DE - Bloomington North (IN)
Watch this one. He does not have any offers right now, but he's a 6'3, 235-lb athlete off the edge. He had 10 sacks a year ago and his trainer says he has consistently run electronic 4.6s in preparation for camp. He really caught our eye on film and his coach says every MAC school along with Indiana and Penn State have shown interest.
DeShawn Dowdy - OLB - Akron North (OH)
He's being recruited as a wide receiver too, but at 6'4, 225-lbs with what we've seen of him on tape, he looks like a big time linebacker prospect. He's an athletic kid for that size, and he simply plays at a school where it took colleges a little longer to find out about him, but they know now. He has four offers, Toledo, Western Michigan, Kent State and Akron and it sounds like Big East and Big Ten schools may soon join in.
Kelvontae McKinney - WR - Ann Arbor Skyline (MI)
Skyline put up a lot of points last year with the help of some great receivers. Jordan Woods gets a lot of attention, but the 6'4, 175-lb McKinney is an excellent athlete with good ball skills who should be hearing from more Division-1 schools soon.
Muskegon Heights (Mich.) DE Evan Winston has been on a roll, adding offers from Cincinnati, Houston, Syracuse, and others recently.
Carmel (IN) DE Shawn Heffern was offered by Toledo, Western Michigan and Purdue this week. Teammate Langston Newton added Miami (Ohio).

Reviews for Baked Fish
"The fish was left with no flavour, boring. I broiled it for a couple of minutes to give it some colour."
"not impressed."
"I agree, the baking time needed to be increased. Also thought this was pretty bland. I will make it again, and maybe try some of the other suggestions next time. Great recipe if you are looking for low fat, low calorie."
"I used tilapia because it is a fish I know myfamily likes...and added a little lemon juice too"
"This needs WAY more than 8-10 minutes to bake or else a higher temperature. Was raw at 10 minutes."
"Elegant in its simplicity. I use panko bread crumbs and change up the seasonings to suit my mood. Love the versatility of this basic recipe."
"I didn't have grated Parm (only shredded). I think that greatly affected the end result. The fish was good, just a little bland in my opinion. I would definitely try this again with the grated cheese as instructed to see if it improves the taste."

text: I have noticed that my coolant temperature is running higher than normal (or at least higher than I think it should be). When driving on the highway, all is well and the Cat stays about 1/2. However, when in town or sitting at idle, it gets up to about 5/8 or so, where you can hear what sounds to be a fan kick on high, then she cools back down to slightly above 1/2. Being that it's winter here and there's not even any A/C on, this seems too hot. The radiator was just replaced and the coolant is brand new, any suggestions here guys? I don't know if this would be a relay or if so, where I might locate it?

An air of pleasant anticipation hung so thickly over the Halls, Holds, and Weyrs of Pern that it had affected even the businesslike ways of Moreta, the Weyrwoman of Fort Weyr. Her dragon, Queen Orlith, would soon clutch; spring had made a glorious debut; the Gather at Ruatha Hold was extremely merry; and Moreta was enjoying the attentions of Alessan, the new Lord Holder of Ruatha Hold.
With only eight Turns remaining before the deadly Thread would cease to Fall, all seemed well on Pern.
Then, without warning, a runnerbeast fell ill. Soon myriads of holders, craftsmen, and dragonriders were dying; and the mysterious ailment had spread to all but the most inaccessible holds. Pern was in mortal danger. For, if dragonriders did not rise to char Thread, the parasite would devour any and all organic life it encountered.
The future of the planet rested in the hands of Moreta and the other dedicated, selfless Pern leaders. But of all their problems, the most difficult to overcome was time . . .
