The Lacrosse Network to stream Washington state high school lacrosse
SEATTLE — The Washington High School Boys Lacrosse Association and Washington Schoolgirls Lacrosse Association have partnered with The Lacrosse Network to stream local high school lacrosse games live on YouTube during the 2013 Washington state high school lacrosse season.
The partnership is the first of its kind for state high school lacrosse governing bodies and an international webcast provider. The Lacrosse Network provides live webcasting of the sports two professional leagues the National Lacrosse League and Major League lacrosse along with the LXM Pro Lacrosse Tour.
"We're excited to be the first state in the U.S. to broadcast its high school games live on YouTube through The Lacrosse Network," said Dave Low, president of the Washington State Chapter of US Lacrosse, which facilitated the relationship. "The quality and reputation of The Lacrosse Network is exceptional. Having Washington state high school games broadcast live is a significant step forward in making our state's best lacrosse players visible around the U.S."
With the relationship, The Lacrosse Network will broadcast a Washington State Lacrosse Game of the Week in each week of the Washington state prep season along with the boys and girls Washington Lacrosse High School State Championships.

So that makes everyones each one of us good at certain areas of automotive works. So all information and experience dealing with automotive problems and solutions is always helpful knowledge ! floydstoy
Welcome vroc4507 and floydstoy good to have you and post some stuff once in awhile. I think most of us here are hobbyists but some that post work in custom shops. I'm sure if you ask for info you will recieve but it might not happen quickly. Like Wayne always says the "Source Interlink Media" icon at the bottom of the page will lead to alot of good resources.

Hi hows every one going new here ? from Australia and looking at info on restos and parts also looking at coming over to the states and buying a 48-51 ford to travel around in for 3 months then bringing it back home
trumph.. to aid in the search.. a member from another forum here created carpricegraph dot comit searches the craigs from areas you select or nation wide.. i did not see any early fords like you would like.. but they do pop up once in a while..ready to drive across the country cars of that age... are not that easy to find.. you also might want to join the automobile club... AAA... or if you have a membership down under.. find out if the towing is good for up here also... just in case the early ride gets stuck someplace.. you don't get caught up with a high binder tow operator.. even well prepped cars that go on the hot rod power tour and the car craft anti tour have break down issues.. both of those magazines are on this site.. along with about 40 others..
well.... i just checked the los angeles craigs... actually south bay los angeles area.. this is 12 grandits 90 percent complete... and has spiderwebs under the tires if you notice...

The Northerner utilizes a luxurious nylon-cotton blend that is soft to the touch. The covered front placket protects against wind entering through the zipper and hides finger-loop snaps that enable the wearer to keep gloves on while buttoning the jacket with one hand. Top-loading front pockets keep valuables secure and hand-warmer pockets are easily accessible when the temperature drops. This piece boasts 100 grams of PrimaLoft® to keep you extremely comfortable while still maintaining the slim AETHER silhouette. There are multiple pockets for storage necessities, including an interior media chest pocket with an audio valve for headphones. The Northerner is a great everyday utility jacket that doesn't sacrifice on style.

Re: Solve[wave equation,bound.cond.]
And you can see an impasse created by the way the problem was
posed. For a solution of the form f(x-ct), where f is any
function of the one variable x-ct, the boundary/initial
conditions require f to have two *different* constant values, a
and b, for all arguments. Thus, unless a=b, there can be no
solution of the type f(x-ct).

This list includes Phase 1 and Phase 2 materials, which are currently in effect.
Summary of Initiative
Supporting Framework
Program Details
Program Contacts
Summary of Initiative
The Ontario Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment program was launched on April 1, 2009 and was expanded on April 1, 2010. The program includes 44 types of electronics from the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulation. Industry stewards (identified as brand owners and first importers) are obligated under the Waste Diversion Act, 2002 to fund the cost of the program for the proper management or diversion of their products or packaging.
Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) is the organization that manages the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment program and is responsible for collecting fees from industry stewards to fund the operation of the program.
Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) monitors the performance of the program and reports to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.
Consumers can return their electrical and electronic equipment to collection points across the province, which include retailers, drop off events and other locations.
Supporting Framework
Ontario's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment program was developed in response to the Ontario Minister of the Environment's requests for a waste electrical and electronic equipment diversion program in 2004 and 2007. Designated waste materials and the designated Industry Funding Organization are identified in the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment regulation (2004) under the Waste Diversion Act, 2002.
The program includes targets for collection, reuse and recycling for all of the designated products. These include:
- an overall collection target of 84,732 tonnes for phase one and phase two products combined by 2014. This translates into a recovery rate of 87% for desktop and portable computers, a 74% recovery rate for display devices, a 47% recovery rate for other phase one and phase two products and an 80% recovery rate for floor standing copiers and printers.
- an overall reuse target of 10,188 tonnes of products available for collection by 2011, which would be achieved through the means of an electronics materials exchange program. Specific reuse targets have been established for product groupings, such as desktop and portable computers (37.5%), display devices (3%), other phase one and phase two products (8%) and floor standing copiers and printers (52%).
- the program plan also includes recycling targets (of products available for collection) in the order of: 78% for desktop and portable computers, 67% for display devices, 42% for other phase one and phase two products and 72% for floor standing copiers and printers by 2014.
Program Details
Product Collection:
Collection sites include retailers, businesses, non-profit organizations and municipal facilities that have entered into agreement with OES. Consumers and users of electronic and electrical equipment can drop off used and unwanted electronic and electrical equipment at any of the more than 550 permanent collection sites and events, free of charge.
For a list of collection sites and collection events, please visit the Recycle Your Electronics website.
Product-specific Fees:
The Ontario Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment program is funded by fees paid to OES by industry stewards for electronic and electrical equipment in Ontario. These funds are used to cover collection, transportation and processing of electronic waste as well as research and consumer education programs to encourage greater electronic equipment recycling.
Some retailers may choose to charge consumers an amount (e.g. an environmental handling fee) intended to reflect the cost of the program at the point of sale on new products.
Program Monitoring & Reporting:
OES reports to WDO which monitors the program performance in meeting their legal requirements.
WDO in turn reports to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. The Ministry is responsible for enforcing non-compliance with the Waste Diversion Act, 2002.
OES produces an annual report that includes information on its performance and is available to the public on its website.
Program Performance:
In 2010-2011, OES collected 34,585 tonnes of electronic and electrical equipment, equivalent to 2.62 kg/capita.

Happy new year, everybody! This past week has been a busy one after a nice holiday break, and I'm looking toward spring. Easier for me to imagine, here where it's been in the 60's most days, than for those of you in the polar vortex, but spring will get here eventually! It has helped that I've been surrounding myself with some playful watery creatures. Here's a little peek of what's coming…
Looking toward spring…01/11
One Response to "Looking toward spring…"
Absolutely fabulous! A theme you haven't done yet, and so clever! Love it.

I have a quick question. I have no idea how I would start to solve this problem.
I want to make a 3d model of several floorplans.
I would like to use a procedural approach for this and create a HDA. If done right I would only need to do one floor and then can pipe into the HDA the floor plan of the other floors and should be able to generate them for you.
The image input would be something like this.
Any idea what tools in houdini I could use?
Thanks in advance! I really appreciate it

SCOTUS Smackdown!
It's time to get it on.
FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT. Do you remember when we set up the cage match between Ann Coulter and Keith Olbermann to settle the question of who was the craziest mass media personality ever to graduate from Cornell University? You don't? Well, that's because we never posted the entry. We withheld it for fairness reasons. Either it made Keith Olbermann look like too much of a smacked ass, or it may have been construed as insulting to Cornell. One of those two. We can't remember which. But we always liked the graphic of Ann Coulter dressed to kill in the ring, waiting for an opponent to annihilate. We thought of it again yesterday when Chain Gang sent us an audio clip of Ann on some talk radio show. She's mad about the Harriet Miers thing. Really really mad. She suggested that conservatives who want to do something could organize a committee to impeach George Bush. You can listen to her argument by clicking on the audio button above..
That -- and a bunch of other screamings and shoutings from the right-hand side of the fence -- got us to wondering about what it is exactly the conservatives want. Yes, we know they want a judicial nominee who went to Harvard with all the justices they hate so much, but there's more to it than that. They want a fight. They want some Republican to stand up to the Harvard idiots in the U.S. Senate and explain to them why their self-satisfied liberalism is killing the country. They want it so much they don't care if the Republican senators from Maine and Rhode Island jump to the other side of the aisle in protest. They don't even care if their heroic nominee fails to be confimed by the Senate. They'd much rather have blood.
Well, we have an idea that might help. A tag-team match between the conservatives and the liberals. Put it on TV. Hire that announcer who bellows the names so annoyingly. Get it on in the Octagon of the UFC. Like so:
If you're with us so far, here are the teams we propose. For the liberals, Teddy Kennedy (Harvard), Chuck Schumer (Harvard), and Joe Biden (Univeristy of Delaware). For the conservatives, Ann Coulter (Cornell), Michelle Malkin (Oberlin), and Peggy Noonan (Fairleigh Dickinson).
We were going to go with Laura Ingraham (Dartmouth) in the number three slot, but then Ms. Noonan published this amazing paragraph today:
(T)he Miers pick was another administration misstep. The president misread the field, the players, their mood and attitude. He called the play, they looked up from the huddle and balked. And debated. And dissed. Momentum was lost. The quarterback looked foolish.
The quarterback always looks foolish when he blows the pickoff attempt and all the runners advance a base. Good call by Ms. Noonan. It's obvious she's as much a master of sports metaphors as she is of, uh, you know. So we'll keep Laura in reserve in case one of our combatants gets accidentally sat on by Teddy.
Of course, the liberals may be too gutless to accept the challenge, because who wouldn't be scared to enter the ring against such formidable opposition? It won't be a pretty sight. Hair pulling, metaphors flying hither and yon, and a hail of epithets that would crush the average senatorial SUV. But that's life in the Big Leagues, where it's far more important to ridicule the enemy than to actually win anything.
One word of warning, though. Teddy is obviously in training for a nasty brawl. Here's a spy photo we snapped just the other day:
Very important not to get sat on by this man. Laura better be ready to come in off the bench and swing the big lumber for a touchdown. If you know what we mean.

Records: North Carolina 18-1 (6-0 ACC), Maryland 15-3 (6-1 ACC)
Rankings: North Carolina is ranked No. 11 in the AP poll and No. 16 in the coaches' poll. Maryland is ranked No. 10 in both polls.
TV: ACC Regional Sports Network (Fox Sports Carolinas in the Chapel Hill area). Tom Werme (play-by-play) and Debbie Antonelli (analyst) have the call.
Radio: Tar Heel Sports Network, a division of Learfield Communications. Walter Storholt has the call. A link to the live stream can be found at GoHeels.com.
On The Web: GoHeels.com • Twitter: @UNCWBB • @UNCWBBCoach
• North Carolina is 37-35 all-time against Maryland, including a 12-18 mark in College Park.
• Carolina's 60-57 win in Chapel Hill on Jan. 3 snapped a four-game losing streak against Maryland. Prior to that win, the Tar Heels had lost six of their last seven against the Terps, Carolina's worst run against Maryland since losing eight in a row from 1988-1991.
• Carolina leads the nation in steals (14.8 spg). The Tar Heels are sixth in blocks and eighth in FG% defense.
• Head coach Sylvia Hatchell is currently three wins shy of 900 for her career and is one ahead of C. Vivian Stringer for the lead among active coaches. Only Pat Summitt and Jody Conradt have reached 900 wins.
• UNC is 7-1 this season when tied or trailing at halftime. The Tar Heels were 9-29 in those situations the previous three seasons.
• Freshman Xylina McDaniel has been named ACC Rookie of the Week a league-best four times in 2012-13. She leads all ACC freshmen in scoring (12.6 ppg), rebounding (7.8 rpg) and steals (2.6 spg).
• Senior Tierra Ruffin-Pratt is averaging a team-best 13.8 points per game this season. Entering 2012-13, her career scoring average in 84 games was 6.7 ppg.
• Senior Krista Gross is fourth in the ACC in rebounding with 8.8 rpg. Entering 2012-13, her career rebounding average in 95 games was 4.4 rpg.
LAST TIME OUT: No. 11 UNC 71, Virginia 60
CHAPEL HILL --- No. 11 North Carolina continued its best league start in five years with a 71-60 win over Virginia Thursday night at Carmichael Arena. Xylina McDaniel had a game-high 15 points, and Tierra Ruffin-Pratt and Waltiea Rolle had 14 apiece as the Tar Heels improved to 18-1 and 6-0 in ACC play. UNC used a 19-4 run to close the first half and runs of 8-2 and 7-0 after the break to put the game out of reach early. The Tar Heels led by as many as 27 early in the second half and held on for their second double-digit win after four straight close ones to start ACC play.
With the win at NC State on Jan. 10, the Tar Heels are now 7-1 on the year when tied or trailing at halftime. Carolina was 9-29 in those situations in the previous three seasons. All four ACC wins so far in 2013 have seen the Tar Heels enter the locker room either tied or behind.
Head coach Sylvia Hatchell enters Thursday's game with a career record of 897-315 in 38 seasons, just three wins shy of 900. Only two coaches in women's basketball history have reached this milestone - Pat Summitt and Jody Conradt - but Hatchell and Rutgers head coach C. Vivian Stringer are both on pace to get there in 2013. Hatchell currently holds the active lead, one ahead of Stringer's 896.
Carolina has been tenacious on the defensive end so far in 2012-13, holding opponents to just 55.3 points per game and 32.8 percent shooting from the field. The current school record for opponent scoring average is 55.0 points per game in 2006-07. The Tar Heels have won three times in 2012-13 when scoring fewer than 60 points, something that had only happened once since 2005 prior to this season. On Jan. 6, Carolina established a new school record for fewest points in a win in the 48-45 victory over Virginia Tech, breaking a record that had stood since 1976. The Tar Heels currently rank in the top 10 in the nation in steals (1st), blocks (6th) and field-goal percentage defense (8th).

CLSI has maintained the global leadership position in the area of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for humans and animals for the past 30 years. The work done by AST volunteers is core to CLSI's mission, as the standards, guidelines, and annual M100 supplement are used to combat increasing antibiotic-resistant infections—a major threat to global public health.
Since its founding, CLSI has always maintained its core principle of including tripartite representation from health care, industry, and government professionals in technical committees and governance. Recently, the CLSI Board of Directors made a policy change stating that members from pharmaceutical companies and allied stakeholders will no longer be permitted as voting members on AST standards, guidelines, and supplements. In the organization's continuing goal to review and refine its consensus process, CLSI has implemented this policy change due to potential issues surrounding conflicts of interest as well as to more closely align with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) practices related to their advisory committees and other guidelines. The AST breakpoint-setting process is unique within CLSI standards development activities: within this process, decisions are made during AST document development meetings that affect the use of specifically named products in the marketplace, a situation that is unique among CLSI committees. This policy was put into effect as of January 1, 2015 for the Subcommittee on AST and will be put into effect January 1, 2016 for the Subcommittee on Antifungal Susceptibility Testing and the Subcommittee on Veterinary AST.
CLSI continues to welcome participation from representatives of pharmaceutical companies and allied supporters. These stakeholders are encouraged to continue providing their valuable and often unique expertise during AST deliberations as nonvoting members (advisors and/or technical advisors and reviewers) of a breakpoint-setting consensus committee, subcommittee, or working group. Representatives from the industry constituency that do not benefit from the sales of antibacterial products and services* may continue to participate as voting members. This approach is consistent with the FDA's invitation of an industry representative for advisory committees.
It is an essential global public health undertaking to utilize CLSI's open, transparent, and inclusive consensus process input from the world's top experts. To annually update its antimicrobial breakpoints, CLSI aims to contribute in the never-ending battle of the growing resistance of microorganisms to anti-infective agents while maintaining the trust and integrity of the consensus process.
*Note that the term "antimicrobial" in this context includes anti-infectious drugs such as antibacterials, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics.

How to build front entryway steps
I have to make a decision about how to build my front entryway steps.
My frontdoor threshold is 20 inches higher than the outside ground. So I need two stair steps plus the landing area (a small deck).
If I build form then pour concrete, I need about a yard. I am afraid the weight will cause the foundation to settle unevenly.
If I build a deck with treated wood, the curb appeal will be awful.
I am capable to DIY either project by now. However I don't feel good about neither. Could anyone give me any advice? Thanks a lot!
Making them out of wood doesn't mean poor curb appeal:
I framed these ones with PT.
After-ish (before painting and finishing a few small trim details)
Looks much better painted gray and white, but no photos on my computer.
Also they're having a new walkway put in. It will be level with the bottom step.
But anyway, you can get creative, don't limit yourself to pouring concrete or a PT deck.
You don't have to be elaborate to look half decent.
Here is a plain landing with 2 treads, found from google:

Parmesan Tomatoes
Years ago, I lived in a garden level apartment in a part of the city where things were hopping. I also had a great roommate who happened to love cheese as much as I do (we are true mid-westerners). We would do such things as sprinkle shredded cheese on tin foil, broil it, and eat it….imagine the good almost burnt crusty cheese on the edge of lasagna or pizza. Yes, delicious. One day we thought we would expand our cheese eating ways and try to incorporate a healthier version by sprinkling the cheese on...read more

How I Make a Turkey and Gravy
I think making a turkey is one of the easiest things to do. Once it's in the oven there isn't much left to prepare (except sides) and clean up is a breeze. There are tons of different ways to prepare a turkey, but this is how I do it and have always had great results. Here are a few pointers on turkey making: Figure 1- 1.5 pounds of bird per person (leftover turkey is never a bad thing to have and you don't want to run short) Make sure your bird is completely defrosted before cooking.

How to Make Cake Ball Pops!
I didn't really get what the point of cake pops were at first. I thought 'eat a piece of cake if you want cake'. After giving them a go I now see the fun in making them…and they are pretty dang good!

5 Ways to Make Caprese Salad
I love the simple flavors of a caprese salad….basil, fresh mozzarella, and tomato. Purchasing fresh ingredients is the only way to go. If you have space to grow your own basil and tomato plant, even better. Even if you don't have a yard you can grow these in pots. I also add a dash of kosher salt and drizzle balsamic glaze (I like the brand Blaze) to really give a punch of flavor. 1. Caprese on a Stick: Spear cherry tomatoes, fresh mini mozzareall balls, and basil leaves on toothpicks to serve as...read more

WBC 130lb champ Ao faces Diaz
By Joe Koizumi
WBC super-feather champ, Japanese southpaw Takahiro Ao (23-2-1, 10 KOs) will put his belt on the line against veteran Mexican Gamaliel Diaz (36-9-2, 17 KOs) in Tokyo, Japan, on October 27. It was announced by Akihiko Honda's Teiken Promotions. Ao will make his fourth defense since he dethroned Vitali Tajbelt of Germany via unanimous verdict in 2010. Diaz previously failed to win world belts from Jorge Linares in 2007 and from Humberto Soto in 2008, but he once decked an upset important victory over Robert Guerrero to win the NABF feather title to his credit in 2005. The Mexican, now holding the CABOFE 130-pound belt, has scored thirteen wins in a row. Will the third time pay for all? Ao, fresh from his last defense against official challenger Terdsak Kokietgym this April, says, "I hope to convincingly win over Diaz to pave the way to realize an anticipated unification bout with WBA champ Takashi Uchiyama in the near future."
On the same bill, up-and-coming Japanese bantam champ Ryosuke Iwasa (12-1, 9 KOs) will take on ex-world challenger David De La Mora (24-2, 17 KOs), Mexico, over ten. WBA#10 lightwegiht Takashi Miura (23-2-2, 17 KOs) will cope with ex-OPBF ruler and compatriot Ryuji Migaki (17-3, 13 KOs) over ten.
The show will take place at Tokyo International Forum in the daytime.

Although your debt to income (DTI) ratio doesn't directly affect your credit score, it is a key component of your credit health and can play a role in your credit application when you are applying for a major loan or mortgage.
What is my debt to income ratio?
Your DTI ratio helps lenders evaluate how much additional debt you can handle and how much of a credit risk you pose. It is generally calculated by dividing your monthly income by your total monthly debt payments, including minimum credit card payments, auto loan and student loan payments and any other regular debt obligations. Your income isn't reported in your credit report, so as part of a loan application, lenders will often request either a self-reported estimate or documentation confirming income.
Although your DTI ratio isn't one of the key factors that calculate your credit score, it can have a significant impact on your ability to get credit.
How does my DTI ratio impact my credit?
For certain loans like mortgage loans, lenders scrutinize your DTI ratio when you are applying for credit because it helps them evaluate your ability to repay your debts. Lenders tend to set your interest rates according to the risk you pose.
If your DTI ratio is low, then you are more likely to have the income necessary to repay your debts. If your DTI ratio is high, then you may be overwhelmed by debt and unable to pay back new debt obligations. The standard rule of thumb is that your DTI ratio should be less than 36 percent. Keep in mind that a DTI ratio as high as 36 percent could put you at risk of paying higher interest rates or being denied altogether. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau also highlights 43 percent as an important number because it is generally the highest debt-to-income ratio a consumer can have while still being eligible for a Qualified Mortgage.
If you want a quick picture of what your debt to income situation should generally look like, try this simple calculation. Approximate your monthly gross income and multiply that number by 36 percent. For example, if you have a $2,200 monthly gross income:
$2200 (Gross monthly income) X .36 (Generally recommended maximum DTI)
= $792 (Amount your total monthly debt payments should generally not exceed)
This calculation gives you a quick guideline of what a comfortable debt load looks like for your monthly income.
What if my DTI ratio is too high?
If your DTI Ratio is higher than you'd like, the two ways to lower it are to increase your income or lower your debt payments. With extra time, you may be able to take on a second job. Already doing well at work? Try making a case for a raise. To lower your total monthly debt payments, consider fully paying off loans or credit cards, refinancing your loans to lower your individual monthly payments or consolidating your debt.

Installing panel
I'm buying a house with a pretty old panel + meter socket combo. It has no main breaker, and it has only 4 breakers. It's also incorrectly wired: one of the circuits is directly connected to the hot bus, and another breaker has two circuits on it. I was recommended to replace the panel. I'm planning on adding to the house in the future, so replacing the panel really seems like a good idea.
I want to give a try to do the replacement myself, and I'm trying to gauge the complexity of the project. I think I can manage the wiring, but the mechanical part is a little questionable. My biggest problem is how to mount the new panel on the wall. I never mounted anything more than a coat hanger.
This is in California, the supplier is PG&E. I was planning on using this panel: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...atalogId=10053. Does anybody have some info on how should I mount the panel, what is code and what is not? Simple things like how to cut the wall, how do i support the weight, etc. The wall is currently covered with stucco. Maybe I should post this in a drywall forum? Sorry if I'm off topic.
Changing a panel isn't a job you should take on. You should leave that to the professionals. Changing a plug or a switch I can see you taking on but not a panel... :no:
start by reading the code.
Is it legal for you to do the work in your jurisdiction?
I second dSilanskas' suggestion that you have an electrician do this. While I would not say that a panel change is an inappropriate DIY project, it is a pretty advanced one. It's certainly not something to take on if you're inexperienced at doing fairly complex electrical work. The biggest issue associated with this project will be coordination with the power company and inspector, since the utility will have to disconnect the house, then you'll connect the new panel, have it inspected, and then the utility will reconnect power. Any mistakes along the way could leave you with no power for an extended period of time.
Thanks! I'll only do this if I'm confident that I can do it safe. Right now, my biggest problem is that I have no idea how I'm supposed to mount the panel. If you guys have any experience with that, I'd appreciate. I've been Googling around trying to find images/videos/texts about mounting the panel, but most of what I found is panels located indoors, or just wiring stuff. Mounting the panel does not seem to be so interesting for anybody, but that's what really interests me :-)
Yeah, it's legal for the homeowner to do this here. I just need to have permits and two inspections: one before reconnecting, one afterwards. I've already checked with the power company, they are fairly quick in scheduling the reconnect after the inspection passes. I actually budgeted a few days after closing escrow but before my current rent expires, so being without power for a few days is not the end of the world. I'll definitely read the corresponding parts of the code.
I'll give you that much. Now, understand that an electrician has his own preferences. There are many ways to do what you want. Some better than others.
I would use unistrut mounted horizontally, one for the top and one for the bottom mounting holes for the panel. I would probably use lag bolts into the studs of the wall.

Yes IF and I use IF loosely VP fuels are that high in octane they must be using a base fuel of 98-100 to mix the ethanol with to = e85 (most pump e85 are 87-94 octane) then they have total control over each batch they make keeping the octane lever where they advertise it at , there if there is water absorbed into the e85 you can loose as much as 3 octane points and no even know it , this is where an a ethanol test kit which I carry in my car for the states with e10 and have pulled away from MANY pumps after testing
e10 fuel only has a shelf life of 90-100 days and if it has water in it and they do the # of days drop even less and thats from the date its mixed at the refinery not the delivered date
This is NOT THE SAME when it comes to the watered down crap you buy from the pumps that changes octane with each batch and how long it sits for , If your using the VP E85 then were talking a whole new ball game and yes I would retest and maybe try using E85 again
UPDATE : After talking with a friend of mine at VP he stated they have a C85(E85) race fuel they sell as of last year , it is rated at 98 octane , If VP fuels with there quality controls is only rated 98 should make you go Hmmmmmmmm??????? with what your buying at the pumps , VP fuels and I have a long history to gather love there fuels over the years
From VP fuels
If you're committed to using E85 type fuels, C85 is by far your best choice. Conventional E85 fuels are notoriously inconsistent, requiring up to a two-jet swing in tuning from one batch of E85 to the next. By contrast, C85 is blended with a consistent proportion of ethanol and every other component in every drum. In addition to taking all the guesswork out of tuning, C85 makes up to 4% more power and torque than conventional E85. With higher quality pure components, C85 is superior to E85 in terms of cooling effect, resistance to detonation and even includes corrosion inhibitors to fight the issues presented by ethanol. C85 works well in drag racing, oval track, off road and virtually any other automotive application, in particular forced induction applications due to its lower vapor pressure. Tests of C85 indicate most applications will require richening up by 1 jet size, or 2-3% over current jetting. Note that for racers unwilling to invest in the new carb and expensive fuel system upgrade required for E85, VP's MS109, VP113 and Q16 continue to be the best race gas alternatives for the money.
• Color: Yellow
• Motor Octane: 90
• Specific Gravity: .793 @ 60°F
My cost per gallon if buying 55 gallons sells for $10.83
Look at the specific gravity of this C85 (E85)
Even there VP100 ethanol is only 100 octane , he was curious where you got your octane # from , Here is a list of all VP fuels octane

Unusual football marriage on rocks after Egypt defeat
By Mark Gleeson
(Reuters) - An unusual football marriage looks on the rocks as the collaboration between Egypt and their American coach Bob Bradley appears close to an end after their World Cup playoff humiliation by Ghana on Tuesday.
A 6-1 thrashing in Kumasi in the first leg of the African zone playoff was not only a record-breaking defeat but also leaves Egypt facing the stark reality of yet another painful failure in the preliminaries.
"The dream of going to the World Cup is what kept our team united for these two years," said Bradley in the wake of the one-sided loss and in a reference to the turmoil that has beset the north African country since early 2011.
"But we've seen that dream become nearly impossible. I say nearly impossible because the situation we've put ourselves in is a very difficult one. We know this and we feel this."
Bradley's contract is tied to the World Cup cycle but Egyptian media were speculating on Wednesday about a possible rapid departure, even with the return leg in Cairo to come on November 19.
The appointment of an American to take charge of the Arab world's most successful team had been an unlikely match, indicative of an increasingly desperate desire by Egypt to find a solution to their World Cup woes.
Despite dominating African football at both national team and cup level, they have failed to reach the finals since their last appearance in Italy in 1990. During that time they have won four African Nations Cup titles.
The Egyptian FA had taken traditional routes in search of a solution, over the decades appointing both top local coaches and expatriates from Europe to guide their quest. Bringing on board Bradley was 'thinking out of the box'. Continued...

Hunger Games: North Carolina Calls 'Cut' on Film SubsidiesBy
The closing credits may soon roll on the generous incentives that lured a string of big-budget film projects to North Carolina. Local lawmakers have approved a budget that calls for current incentives—tax breaks of roughly 25 percent of a production's spending in the state—to expire at the end of next year.
By this point, the arguments for and against film incentives are as predictable as a romantic-comedy script:
Handsome Hollywood Producer: It's clean commerce and high wages that quickly spread through the community.
Quirky Local Barista: But you always just hire actors from Los Angeles and bolt whenever another state offers a sweeter deal. Plus, you don't spend that much.
Last year, North Carolina granted $69 million in tax breaks for filmmakers, including $20 million to Iron Man 3, $13.8 million for the second installation of The Hunger Games, $7.6 million for Showtime's Homeland series, and $190,000 for production of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, according to the state's Department of Revenue. The state also ponied up for some less critically acclaimed fare, including $395,000 in tax breaks in support of advertising production for Belk department stores and Diet Mountain Dew.
What did North Carolina taxpayers get for their $69 million investment? About 14,100 temporary jobs and $278 million in spending on local goods, services, and workers. And that return is either terrific or terrible, depending on who is asked. North Carolina Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker is lobbying to maintain at least some of the incentives. The Motion Picture Association of America said in a July letter to Decker that Hollywood producers are poised to yank several major productions out of the state and move them to places that show no sign of backing away from major silver-screen sweeteners. But the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a left-leaning think tank, counters that film subsidies at best offer little return and at worst are "a classic race to the bottom" against other states.
The only way to come to a conclusion is to take a sober estimate of two things: Which films would have come to a state without any financials sweeteners? And what kind of return could North Carolina get for tax breaks elsewhere? The incentives given to filmmakers could have instead been diverted to support a gunmaking factory or a jet-engine plant, or returned to the millions of residents paying income taxes.
Other states, meanwhile, remain committed to even higher incentives for filmmakers, most notably Louisiana (up to 30 percent of production costs) and Michigan (up to 42 percent). As lawmakers elsewhere continue to weigh the benefits of such lavish subsidies, expect to see sequels to the drama in the North Carolina Statehouse.

Manzo, C. and Torreno-Pina, J.A. and Joosten, B. and Reinieren-Beeren, I. and Gualda, E.J. and Loza-Alvarez, P. and Figdor, C.G. and Garcia Parajo, M.F. and Cambi, A. (2012) The neck region of the C-type lectin DC-SIGN regulates its surface spatiotemporal organization and virus-binding capacity on antigen presenting cells. Journal of biological chemistry, 287 (46). 38946 - 38955. ISSN 0021-9258
|The C-type lectin DC-SIGN expressed on dendritic cells (DCs) facilitates capture and internalization of a plethora of different pathogens. Although it is known that DC-SIGN organizes in nanoclusters at the surface of DCs, the molecular mechanisms responsible for this well defined nanopatterning and role in viral binding remain enigmatic. By combining biochemical and advanced biophysical techniques, including optical superresolution and single particle tracking, we demonstrate that DC-SIGN intrinsic nanoclustering strictly depends on its molecular structure. DC-SIGN nanoclusters exhibited free, Brownian diffusion on the cell membrane. Truncation of the extracellular neck region, known to abrogate tetramerization, significantly reduced nanoclustering and concomitantly increased lateral diffusion. Importantly, DC-SIGN nanocluster dissolution exclusively compromised binding to nanoscale size pathogens. Monte Carlo simulations revealed that heterogeneity on nanocluster density and spatial distribution confers broader binding capabilities to DC-SIGN. As such, our results underscore a direct relationship between spatial nanopatterning, driven by intermolecular interactions between the neck regions, and receptor diffusion to provide DC-SIGN with the exquisite ability to dock pathogens at the virus length scale. Insight into how virus receptors are organized prior to virus binding and how they assemble into functional platforms for virus docking is helpful to develop novel strategies to prevent virus entry and infection

It's hard to imagine a bigger contrast than that between the Bethnal Green gasholders and the sandy streets of Timbuktu, yet the young Songhoy Blues band from Timbuktu seemed perfectly at home in the Oval Space at the foot of the gasometer.
It was the launch event for Maison des Jeunes, the new Africa Express CD, which saw Damon Albarn, Brian Eno and others heading to Mali, to record with Malian musicians. "We wanted to remind the world at large that there is extraordinary music in this country," said Albarn. "We only did a week of recording," said Eno, "but they have 2,000 years of practice."
Despite visa problems, which seem to be a renewed curse on London's music scene, several of the Malians involved were present and performing in London for the first time.
The young Kankou Kouyaté, niece of Bassekou Kouyaté, had the challenging opening slot against the noisy crowd. She has a gorgeous voice but her music was lost in the background chatter. Bijou, the other female vocalist, was less musically accomplished but had a more attentive audience because Damon Albarn was accompanying on keyboard. British singer and rapper Ghostpoet was next and, although his words were inaudible, the rhythms of his set were powerfully backed by magnificent West African percussion.
But it was Songhoy Blues that stole the show. Led by singer Aliou Traoré, who left Timbuktu when it was overrun by Islamist militants who banned music earlier this year, the band was formed a few months ago in the Malian capital Bamako. Aliou is a charismatic front man, while his brilliant side-kick is Garba Touré on electric guitar, whose father played in Ali Farka Touré's band.
The fact that Songhoy Blues played as many Ali Farka Touré songs as their own suggests it's early days, but they certainly are the new African band to watch.

The new rink in Kallang will be in the Leisure Park, a building that was demolished in 2005 and rebuilt. Plans for the rink in the new building was mentioned in the Singapore Sports Council's paper "A New Sporting Vision for Singapore".
There is also a news release on the CB Richard Ellis site, "Historic Leisure Park Kallang To Be Transformed Into An All-in-one Lifestyle Retail-entertainment Mall For Families & Youth"
The news release reports that the building "will be granted its temporary occupation permit in the early third quarter of 2007". Well, early 3rd quarter would be October, and being granted a TOP doesn't uh, necessarily equate to starting operations, does it? So much for all the rumours of the new rink opening in September...
Well, I suppose when exactly it opens probably wouldn't affect me all that much, and I will just take things as they come... but a nice rink with some spectator seating sounds pretty promising - even though the dimensions might not.

Average UK mum relies on 9 recipes to feed family
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - The average British mother relies on just nine different meals to feed her family, a study has found.
Food product company Merchant Gourmet polled 4,000 Britons to discover that hectic lifestyles, fussy children and partners who work long hours mean mothers are stuck in a rut when it comes to experimenting in the kitchen.
Nine in 10 mothers polled admitted cooking the same meals over and over again while one in four made the same meals on the same day of the week.
The most common meal was spaghetti Bolognese followed by roast dinners, a shepherd's or cottage pie and a pasta dish.
"It's not surprising, given the demands of modern family life, that home cooks revert back to the recipes they know and love," a spokesman for Merchant Gourmet said in a statement.
"People are put off experimenting with new meals and ingredients as they're convinced it will be time-consuming or expensive.
The study also highlighted the rise of the fussy family.
"A massive 81 percent of respondents claimed they have to make two or more meals every night and 23 percent said they would stick to the same meals because their children are fussy eaters," the spokesman said.
The survey also found that dinner time takes the average mother 35 minutes from start to finish, and four in 10 mothers play safe by choosing meals they know their family like. Continued...

Companies include: Enzo Biochem Inc. (ENZ) and many others.
In the following excerpt from the Medical Research, Diagnostic Substances and Life Science Tools Report, the President and the Vice President of Corporate Development of Enzo Biochem discuss the outlook for their company for investors:
TWST: Would you start with a brief historical sketch of the company and a picture its operations at the present time?
Mr. Weiner: Enzo is focused in the area of gene labeling, gene identification and related research products. We're focused at driving research in the immunological and nucleic acid diagnostic and research space. We are an integrated life sciences company.
In addition to developing, manufacturing and marketing research reagents, products and systems for the global marketplace, we have a significant, closely aligned clinical laboratory organization that supports the developmental efforts of our life sciences unit. It is able to do so because Enzo Clinical Labs is one of the largest independent clinical labs serving physicians from New York to the Philadelphia area, New Jersey and parts of lower Connecticut.
The integrated structure of Enzo has evolved to become a very formidable business entity. We have the capabilities today to engage in fundamental, basic biological and biomarker research, and to carry those products and/or platforms through a developmental and commercialization process. That allows us to market products globally and to physicians in our region, as well as to support the efforts for more advanced development and regulatory approval on the state, federal and international levels.
We also have a therapeutics venture with several products in development. One is currently in a Phase II trial with the National Institutes of Health. It targets the treatment of autoimmune uveitis, which is an inflammation of the inner eye and one of the leading causes of blindness.
We also have a very extensive intellectual property platform which impacts many areas in the field of diagnostics and modern genomics. We are credited as a developer of some very key platforms, including the Hybrid Capture platform, which drives the QIAGEN HPV test, and the branched DNA platform, which provides significant utility in a number of viral load tests. Recently, we have been developing a novel platform for DNA amplification, or nucleic acid amplification. We call it AmpiProbe, and it provides the potential to be a low-cost alternative for reagents used in PCR-based system.
TWST: Would you give us a sense of where Enzo Biochem's pipeline stands at the moment? What are some of the key steps the company needs to take in the near-to-mid term?

SEMINOLE — Something about the Steve Georgiadis Tournament always brings out the best in Brett Phillips.
A year after hitting a triple and scoring the winning run to lead in the championship game, Phillips was it again, providing the big hits to lead host Seminole to its second straight tournament title with a 9-0 victory over Cambridge in Friday's final.
Phillips, the tournament MVP, hit two triples, the first a three-run shot in the second inning that turned out to be the winning hit. Better still, it came against Lancers starter Nick Eicholtz, who has signed with Alabama.
"People may look at the team we were playing as a lowly 2A school," Phillips said. "But that pitcher is going to Alabama, and he is pretty good. We knew that team was going to battle. (Eicholtz) threw a couple of fastballs, and I was able to get all over them."
After a scoreless first inning, the Warhawks (16-3) put something together offensively as Adam Atkinson led singled, Jordan Doyle reached on an error and Stephen Nobles was safe on a fielder's choice. That loaded the bases for Phillips, who hit the ball down the rightfield line for his first triple.
Seminole batted around and scored two more runs in the inning to go ahead 5-0. The final run of the inning came on a balk. Cambridge coach Sam Marsonek came out to argue the call and was ejected.
The lead was more than enough for Doyle, who threw a no-hitter and struck out 12.
"I don't think I had my best stuff, but I still did well," said Doyle, who was named pitching MVP of the tournament. "I threw a lot of pitches in the first inning. But I had good velocity, threw strikes and was able to get through some quick innings after that."
In the fifth inning, Seminole added two more runs by taking advantage of a throwing error. Phillips had a run-scoring triple in the sixth then came home on a single by pinch-hitter Chris Berry.
The Warhawks had eight hits. Atkinson, who went 2-for-4 in the championship game, was named hitting MVP of the tournament. In two games, Seminole outscored opponents a combined 19-0.
"I'm proud of the way the team played this week," Seminole coach Jeff Pincus said. "But we're not ready yo hit cruise control just yet. There still are some things we can work on. We're just looking to get better each day."


text: Guys. Here's a tip. Look for updates then play some more. Heck, I play on there. You just haven't met that many who actually play it and speak English. I sometimes play it at night when it's pretty active. Plus, I still play on it because I understand what half of the NPCs are saying, and I put some effort into actually PLAYING the game.

"Anywhere, Anytime" Work Means IT Must Provide The Right Technology, To The Right Person, At The Right Time
Posted by TJ Keitt on June 7, 2011
Giving workers flexibility in when, where, and how they work is a hot topic right now. The US federal government has passed legislation to make telecommuting easier and multinational firms, like State Street, are instituting programs to let employees choose when and where they work. Why are organizations emphasizing this so much? Mobile and remote employees have more control over their work/life balance and won't have to stop working if circumstance prevents them from coming to the office. Furthermore, they can easily be collocated with clients and allow the company to reduce its real estate and carbon footprint. However, as this chart from my new report, Demystifying The Mobile Workforce, shows, information workers may be moving more quickly to this flexible way of working than their companies currently acknowledge: 66% of the North American and European workforce work outside the office at some point during a month.
If business leaders and their counterparts in IT are to get in front of this trend, they have to understand their mobile and remote workforce. For example, who is shifting work between the office and home? What technology are they using to do so? Do they believe that the company is doing a good job of providing them the policies and technology to work in this way? If business and IT leaders can't answer these questions, they will be hard pressed to accurately:
- Judge how to develop the corporate IT infrastructure. If portions of the workforce are mobile and/or remote, IT has to decide how to provide these groups remote access to applications and information. Of course, you need to know who the employees are that are leaving the confines of the office to decide which tools they need to be delivered over some type of secure connection. And you have to know where these employees are outside of the office in order to decide on how to make those connections. For example, an employee spending the bulk of her time on a client site may not be able to use a VPN client to access applications, meaning that IT should provide them as a service through an employee portal.
- Evaluate the devices IT should (or shouldn't) support. Depending on where an employee works, their device needs will be different. Understanding what these employees need will help you make the right decisions on what to provide employees and what to bring in on their own. For example, our data shows us that employees that shift between the office, home, and locations on the road want to use multiple devices, particularly smartphones and tablet computers. Why? They want to be able to pick the device that best fits their location.
- Plan content and collaboration strategies to keep workers connected. We know that IT leaders are investing heavily in collaboration technology. The wrinkle the mobile workforce throws into this is the number of different types of devices collaboration tools have to support. For example, to cover mobile workers participating in web meetings via smartphones and tablets, you need to look at web conferencing solutions like WebEx which has native applications for BlackBerrys, iPhones, and iPads.
- Anticipate how facilities costs will change. With fewer workers coming into the office full time, you have an opportunity to rethink how the provide workspace to their employees. For example, workers who work primarily from home offices may sign up for desk space in an office if they need to come in for a meeting. The key to making these kinds of arrangements work is understanding how often employees are working outside of a corporate office to determine what percentage can do without a permenant desk.
As we show in the aforementioned report, gaining this needed understanding of the workforce begins with a formal research process. This can include both in-depth interviews with selected business and IT leaders, as well as rank and file employees, and an online survey of some or all of the workforce to verify the findings of the qualitative interviews. The bottom line is that if businesses are to smartly plan for and provision a mobile workforce, they need to have a firm grasp of what the issues are related to these workers. That being said, is your business really ready to handle the bulk of your employees doing work full or part time from outside your firewall?
"Working remotely" used to
Comment from Bill Reeves (not verified) on Fri, 08/26/2011 - 14:17
"Working remotely" used to mean simply working from home. Now it means being able to work even when you're mobile, including in transit or at any kind of remote location. We're connected like we've never been before. But working remotely should never compromise the security standards of the organization.
When it comes to remote computing, it takes a lot of thought to determine what type of security you need, where you want the data, how you want the data handled and managed, and who should have access to it (and who should not). Sometimes leveraging the remote capabilities of smartphones and other devices means that you are exposing the enterprise to a whole new level of security vulnerability. And since users are developing expectations of how they want to work, and what devices they want to use, it's not as simple as applying the same security standard to every single device no matter what kind of data is in play, how it is being manipulated, or where it is going.
For instance, are you going to allow the same level of document creation and manipulation on a smartphone that you allow on a laptop? Some users may have relatively low expectations around what they can do via a smartphone, while others may expect functional parity across both mediums. There's a big difference between the two, because the ability to actually manipulate data creates a whole new world of security concerns. Organizations must decide whether they will limit smartphone capabilities to viewing only or offer more robust data manipulation capabilities.
What you need to do is establish standards for transferring as well as manipulating data. Think through what kind of access you want to provide for smartphones or other mobile devices. How do you want workers to access it? Do you even allow them to access it? What security level is necessary to ensure that you are maintaining the standards set by the organization?
The bottom line? You need centralized file management. You need the ability to audit. And you need security, security, security! When you're viewing or manipulating the data, you have to take it very seriously, and consider how it can interact with a smart phone. And, of course, the data should be encrypted at rest and in motion.
In addition to great products that address internal communication within the enterprise, Axway offers specific solutions that enable you to manage files outside of the enterprise – because the fact is you're going to have to extend your reach, not just to your trading partners but to your internal employees at home and on the road.

Despite Hollywood's frequent boasts that it is encouraging Diversity in the writers' rooms at TV production companies and networks, little progress has in fact taken place in recent years, and in many cases, appears to have fallen backwards, according to a study released Thursday by the Writers Guild of America. The study, Hollywood Writers Report Recession and Regression, conducted from 2008 through 2009, found that while the number of female TV writers remained stable ("still a very low 28 percent") the earnings gap between male and female writers widened 84 percent from the previous report. Among racial minorities, the earnings gap widened to the largest level in a decade. The report blamed the recession for the lack of progress.

The MEElectronics HT-21s have a balanced, warm, middly sound that's forward, making vocals and guitars sound as if they're close to your ears. By contrast, headphones with scooped-out mids leave instruments sounding as if they're further away.
Bass is well-mannered for a headphone of this low price, only showing its hand when required. It doesn't boom or dominate, but supplies enough of a beefy rumble to do justice even to dance and electro music.
Detail is also good, but high-end resolution is limited. The treble rolls off at the very top end, so vocals, cymbals and other high-register sounds don't sparkle as much as they would with a set of brighter headphones.
String-led classical music suffers most from this sound signature - the violins of Bach's Air from Ouverture No. 3 in D major don't sound as sweet as they should, for example. Music requiring more punch sounds great though. The staccato guitars of Tool's 2001 Lateralus album are insistently aggressive, while the bass line underneath is given plenty of weight without encroaching upon the other instruments, which would happen with a more bass-heavy set.
The powerful, balanced sound can muddle complicated arrangements, but for less than £30 the sound quality is excellent. How the headphones are placed on your ears is very important though.
If placed too far forward or back on your ears, the sound isolation, bass response and overall sonic balance are ruined - leaving the HT-21s sounding brittle, harsh and frankly horrible. We found them to be even pickier than many inner-ear earphones, which are similarly affected if the correct seal isn't made with rubber or foam tips. Some experimentation is needed for the best results.
Once they're at home on your ears though, the sound quality on offer is far greater than the price tag would suggest. They're well-suited to rock and pop music that can make full use of its good bass response, as lighter or more refined music could do with a little more high-end fidelity. You'll need to spend significantly more to get this leg up to the next level, as you won't get this from the more bass-driven Sennheiser PX100 or Koss PortaPro, the closest on-ear alternatives. If your music collection isn't all sweetness and light, with more serrated guitar riffs than sweet, serene violins, the MEElectronics HT-21 represent a bargain.
The MEElectronics HT-21 on-ear headphones are very picky about how they're placed on your ears, but get it right and they offer a detailed, powerful sound that's easily merits the £20 price tag, and more. The materials used in its construction are the usual budget fare, but they're robust enough to stand the trials of a morning commute.

install ceiling box for fan while drywall is off
1 Attachment(s)
Been wanting to install a ceiling fan in living room but there is no ceiling box. Had to take some drywall off one of the walls for an unrelated issue so figure now is the time to run wire before closing it back up.
Looking at the picture the fan box would go near the X on the ceiling. There is a single switch not shown in the photo all the way to the right of thephoto where the black arrow is. This switch controls the top half of the receptacle below the window. In the single switch box there is power and neutral wires.
How to proceed?
Id install a full size pan box where you want the fan to go,if theres not a rafter right there double up a couple 2x4s on edge and put them between the 2 nearest rafters to mount your box.
I usually run 14/3 from switch box to ceiling box in case you want to seperate light/fan.
Rewire the 1/2 switched plug in wall so you can just have a normal hot plug there all the time :)
You said "In the single switch box there is power and neutral wires." Does that mean you only have a black and white wire? If you only have black and white then you do not have a neutral wire. You need a new cable or you will need to rewire the receptacle to be not switched so the cable can be used as a feed.
1 Attachment(s)
And are you suggesting using the existing switch, which now operates the top of the receptacle, to operate the fan? I guess I could replace the single switch with a double switch to operate the fan/light separately.
And to joed: in the single switch box there is not a switch loop, there are hots and neutrals(and grounds)
Don't eliminate the switched outlet just yet to reuse that switch for the fan. Do you have room where your single switch is to add a double gang box and add a new switch for the fan?
I would not use a pancake box, I would use a fan rated box screwed to the stud or a 2x4 installed just for mounting the box. Now is the time to do it. Run a 3 conductor NM cable up there to. Wire it so the fan and the light can be operated independently. This will be easy as you say you have a hot and a nuetral in the existing switch box.

what about this box by westinghouse rated for ceiling fans. I will be able to secure it right into a joist.
I like those too but I use longer screws.
Great. I like having the separate wall switches for my fan and lights
The full size boxes are rated for fans :)
We're gonna go with the westinghouse 1/2" pancaker cut into the ceiling and attached to a joist.
Plan is to cut in a new 3 gang box where the single switch is.
Drop 12-3 down into the basement, across a few feet to get to the left of the duct run shown in the photo.
Then run the 12-3 back up in the stud cavity just to the left of the duct run then thru the cripples above the header into a hole in the double top plate and then have fun fishing the 12-3 thru the ceiling joist cavity to the cutout where the pancaker will go.
Will post photos.
