Coming into Week 15 on Sunday, the New York Giants had nothing to play for but pride. However, in the team's 23-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, we didn't see much of that. New York's offense could manage only 181 total yards against the tough Seattle defense, and quarterback Eli Manning didn't help matters by throwing a career-high five interceptions. Even though the defense did a good job of holding the Seahawks to just 3.9 yards per carry on the ground while sacking quarterback Russell Wilson four times, the effort wasn't enough to make up for an abysmal output on the other side of the ball.
"I think the defense came out and played extremely hard," said safety and team co-captain Antrel Rolle. "I think the defense came out there and played extremely hard today. I think we made some great plays out there today, I think we challenged each and every one of their plays."
Rolle spoke up after the game and said that while the Giants were well prepared for Seattle by head coach Tom Coughlin and his staff, there was something missing from their execution.
"Coach Coughlin, he's a coach, but he can't coach heart," said Rolle. "He can't make a play or have heart, he can't make a player have passion about this game, and that's what we were lacking out there today."
2013 has been a frustrating season for the Giants, but one thing they haven't done is make excuses or blame the coaching staff for the team's poor play. Even during a 0-6 start, the players were accountable for their performance.
"Coach Coughlin can't take any of this blame," said Rolle. "Like I said, personally, I won't allow that. He can't take any of this blame. Coaches coach and they did a phenomenal job getting us prepared for this. We had a great week of practice."
No matter how polite the Giants players are after the game, though, it won't help the team improve on the field. That's something that is necessary if Coughlin and his staff are going to stick around much longer. A coach whose players don't play with heart is a coach who isn't tolerated for long in the NFL.
"Obviously sometimes out there today, we looked like we didn't have a pulse," said Rolle. "And you can never do that playing a game of this magnitude, playing a game that's this physical and playing an opponent like the Seattle Seahawks that live and die by pride, swagger, confidence. We knew that coming into the game today. They imposed their will on us today."

Hello all..... Lastnight I had cleaned my MAF sensor. Welll this morning when I started the car my traction and check engine light came on. Unplugged battery to reset codes because I forgot to plug maf back in. anyways, I drove it to get code scanned because the traction light was still on. Stated that maf was out. Replaced that, now no matter what I do the traction light will stay lit. Havent gotten a check engine light on it yet hopfully the MAF is okay so far. But why would the traction lught still stay on? And ideas? Ive read that when the MAF begans to fault on Audis that the traction light will still come on also.
Any suggestions or advive will help..

Kenyan ramps up security at Somali border, eyes al Shabaab
By Noor Ali
ISIOLO, Kenya (Reuters) - The Kenyan government sent
troops and police to its northern border on Saturday and said it would hunt down Somalian al Shabaab insurgents after the kidnapping of two Spanish aid workers.
The two Spanish women, who were working for Medecins Sans Frontieres at the Dadaab refugee camp, were abucted on Thursday Police believe the kidnappers to be al Shabaab rebels but the al Qaeda-linked rebel movement has denied it was responsible.
"If we are attacked by the enemy, we have the right to pursue that enemy. "Defence Minister Yusuf Haji told a news conference. "We are trying to push al Shabaab as far away as possible from Kenya."
Residents at Liboi and Dadachabulla border towns told Reuters they saw more than 20 trucks ferrying soldiers and police officers. Units had also set up camps on the border.
Two war planes were also seen flying over the area.
"A convoy of army officers from Garissa, the police and border patrol officers at Dadachabulla have all moved to the border," said Ibrahim Mohamed Barre, a resident from Dadachabulla 12 km (8 miles) away from the border with Somalia.
"About five families left for Garissa an hour ago, I am sure many people will leave. We are worried. It's clear Kenya wants to fight al Shabaab. This place is no longer safe," he added. Continued...

TAMPA — Long before they worried about losing him, he was a small bundle swaddled in a zebra blanket, delivered to them by a caseworker in the parking lot of a Steak 'n Shake.
Hours before, the 5-month-old had been removed from his mother's arms outside a Hillsborough County courtroom.
Brian and Rachell Strawser took turns that night two years ago wiping the baby's runny nose and rocking him to sleep. As the months passed, the Strawsers and their three children grew to love the little boy they nicknamed J.J.
The baby's mother, Elise Martinez, 23, wanted to remain a part of his life. But the judge was terminating her parental rights.
Caseworkers tried to find other family members who could step in, but her father had spent time in prison for killing someone. Her mother, she said, had been accused of child abuse.
The Strawsers were happy to keep J.J. And when his mother later gave birth to twin girls, the Strawsers said they would be willing to take them, too.
Then one day last April, after the Strawsers had cared for J.J. for almost 18 months, just as they were expecting to bring home the twins, Elise's father spoke up. There was one more relative.
J.J.'s great-great-aunt on his mother's side was 69. She had never met the children. But she said she would take all three.
• • •
In the past, if no close family stepped up to care for a boy like J.J., caseworkers might deliver him to foster parents like the Strawsers, sometimes for years, while they figured out what to do with him.
Because it can take up to a year for parents to earn their children back, the state would not address his future until the parent either succeeded or failed.
A practice known as "family finding" is changing that. Now if a mother or father loses the right to parent — even temporarily — caseworkers are supposed to create family trees of as many relatives as they can find.
This shift started a decade ago when a Washington child welfare director named Kevin Campbell began using the Red Cross' family-tracing techniques to help older foster children.
There was the 17-year-old with mental illness who had been in foster care for a decade. A search revealed 100 family members, including a U.S. senator.
Stories like this made it clear that caseworkers needed to start looking for relatives sooner. In 2008, it became a federal law to search for family members within 30 days of a child's removal.
"What I've seen in the country is that a majority of the states have not yet addressed that mandate," said Campbell, who consults on family finding.
Florida — second in the nation for placing neglected children with people they know — is actually doing a good job of locating family and friends for these kids. As of this month, 53 percent of the 19,772 children who have been removed from their parents are with relatives or family friends.
Family Finders, which in Hillsborough, Hernando and several other counties is funded by a federal grant, has produced heartwarming stories. A pair of teen boys reconnected in Texas with their father, who they thought had died. A toddler whose mother was in jail went to an older cousin in Tampa. A 9-year-old boy whose mother overdosed was placed with a Kentucky aunt within 72 hours.
"It depends on the people involved, but ideally kids should be with family," said Sunny Hall, chief operating officer of Hillsborough Kids Inc. "I really believe that."
But sometimes those connections are happening too late.
A prime example: J.J.
He had spent most of his life with the Strawsers. He had a quirky habit of holding his foster father's ears while drinking his chocolate milk in the morning and hid behind his foster mom's legs when strangers showed up.
Was he better with a 69-year-old great-great-aunt who shared his Puerto Rican heritage and his dark skin but whom he had never met?
• • •
One day in October, J.J. stood on his foster dad's lap in the living room of their North Tampa home. He giggled and tried to squirm away.
J.J., now 2 ½, called the Strawsers Mommy and Daddy. Trevor, 12, was a playmate. Payton, 14, was like another mother to him. Dezani, 6, wanted to change his diaper all the time.
"We've fallen in love with him," Rachell said.
Brian, 41, and Rachell, 40, have been married for 19 years. Brian is a business consultant for technology used by insurance companies. Rachell, a stay-at-home mother who homeschools her kids, had eight foster brothers.
The Strawsers had talked and prayed a lot about what was best for J.J. They didn't want to deprive him of his family. The boy's great-great-aunt, Emilia Bell, and her granddaughter, Demetris Boyrie, 36, seemed nice and caring.
Still, they worried.
Was Bell able, at almost 70, to care for three toddlers? Who would be their primary caregiver? Why wasn't Boyrie adopting them?
The Strawsers believed that J.J. would be better with both a father and a mother. At the same time, they wondered if they were doing what was right for him.
"We never came in to cause ill will to the family," Rachell said. "At the same time, I just didn't feel comfortable releasing him."
But Hillsborough Kids and its case managers from Camelot Community Care told them one day this summer they were going to recommend that J.J. and his twin sisters live with Emilia Bell.
• • •
Rachell Strawser walked into her home one Sunday in October. "Elise is here," she said to her family.
J.J.'s mother sauntered in shyly. She wore a red Elmo T-shirt, jeans and socks with Nike flip-flops. Her kids' names were tattooed on her forearms.
She moved to the twins, who were sitting in high chairs eating Chex squares. She touched each of their arms gently. The girls lived with other foster parents but were visiting for the day.
J.J. was at the piano, slamming the keys with his middle three fingers. She reached down and touched him too, gave a tiny smile.
For months, Rachell had picked up Elise and brought her over for dinner on Sunday. She had taken her to their church. She had invited her to the park to celebrate J.J.'s second birthday.
Sometimes Elise showed up. Sometimes she didn't.
Rachell knew Elise was hurting. "I knew I had to build that relationship," she said.
Elise had gotten caught up in the child welfare system two years ago. Someone had reported that she was doing heroin. She denied it, but she said child protective investigators began watching her. Allegations, which she has a hard time articulating, piled up.
She left her kids with her mother one day when she shouldn't have; someone said in court her boyfriend posed a threat; the twins had a bad rash and she was accused of not taking them to the doctor soon enough. Now her children were living with other people. And the state was trying to find a permanent home for them with someone else who would get about $400 a month per child in public money to care for them.
Elise said she passed five drug tests and attended all of her parenting classes. Nevertheless the state continued the process of terminating her parental rights. They said she had an IQ of 55.
"My IQ has got nothing to do with my kids," she said.
Where did she want her kids to go?
She paused.
"I don't know her that well," she said of her great-aunt. She had only seen her once or twice growing up.
"I want them to go where they are going to be safe," she said. "I just want to see my kids and be there. I know they'll be okay here and they let me see them every Sunday."
• • •
Emilia Bell opened the door of a tan ranch-style house in a resurgent corner of Seminole Heights. She had gray hair, a slight frame and suspicious eyes that creased into a frown. But when she was asked about the little boy who might come live with her she lit up and invited two journalists into her spotless living room.
On the walls, there were tapestries of Jesus covered in rhinestones. She said she had made them herself. A large statue of Mary sat in the center of the room, next to some small porcelain black angels.
Bell talked about how much she loved being around the three children. Since the state had decided to give her the kids, the Strawsers had been bringing them over almost weekly. But Bell couldn't remember the kids' names. She thought a moment and then called her 11-year-old great-granddaughter into the room.
"I don't know how to say their names," she said. The girl obliged her with the names. She nodded and continued.
"My nephew called me on the phone and said he's got a problem," she said. "He said (Elise) was going to lose the kids."
She had raised four daughters and lived with her granddaughter, Demetris Boyrie, for 26 years. Bell said she was used to taking care of kids. She even had custody of Boyrie's 11-year-old daughter.
"I swear if they gave me the pleasure to have those kids, I think I'd live a little bit longer because I love kids," she said.
She paused, twisted the edge of her dress in her fingers.
"I'm getting so scared that they will tell me I can't have the kids," she said. "They're my blood. They belong in my family. Why are you going to split a family?"
• • •
This isn't the first time that extended family and foster parents have fought over a child in Florida.
Often the argument comes down to how much the child has bonded with the foster family compared to the importance of raising the child with his biological family.
In 2010, the Department of Children and Families issued a memo that advised caseworkers to be careful when removing children from their caregivers up through age 2.
"According to researchers, the child experiences the removal as a death," wrote Alan Abramowitz, then state director of child welfare at DCF.
The bonding argument has come up often enough that Florida lawmakers passed a law limiting DCF's power to take a child from foster parents if the child has been in their home for more than six months.
Now, to do so, they would need a court order.
• • •
A couple of days before Thanksgiving, Brian Strawser sat next to his wife outside a courtroom in downtown Tampa. Across the waiting room, Elise sat between her father, her great-aunt, Bell, and her cousin, Boyrie.
A bailiff called the case, but Elise stayed outside with her father. Once her rights were terminated, she no longer had a right to attend the closed proceeding.
About 10 minutes passed and then suddenly, the courtroom door flew open and out walked Boyrie. She swept across the room, her large eyes angry, a forefinger pressed to her lips.
Elise and her father stood up, looked at Boyrie. She didn't have to say anything.
Elise began moaning. In the past two weeks, her allegiance had shifted. She hadn't returned the Strawsers' calls or come to her weekly visit. She wanted her kids to go to her great-aunt and her cousin.
Tears slipped down Elise's face.
"They did everything the guardian ad litem said," Boyrie said loudly, "because we're not qualified. I feel like my grandmother is being age-discriminated against."
They turned and disappeared noisily into an elevator.
Minutes later, the Strawsers emerged. They smiled tensely.
"Let them cool off," a guardian ad litem attorney told them.
Rachell Strawser called her daughter, who squealed upon learning the news. They would get all three children. The adoption would take place in a few months.
"As the children grow up, we want them to know who their mom is," Mrs. Strawser said. "My heart tells me it's the right thing to do."
Her phone vibrated. It was a text from Elise.
Thanks a lot. Now I won't see my kids until they're 18.
Rachell stopped in the sidewalk. She texted back.
That's not true. We want a relationship.
• • •
Federal law wasn't followed in this case.
If case managers had performed the search for J.J.'s relatives in the first 30 days, the last eight months of emotional turmoil likely would have been avoided. No judge would have needed to decide whether J.J.'s bond with the Strawsers was more powerful than his genetic link to Emilia Bell.
But for Sunny Hall, the chief operating officer of Hillsborough Kids, the outcome of this case hasn't changed her mind about this practice. Placing children with family can affect who their friends are, who they marry and where they live.
"When we make these types of decisions, we have to consider the long-term implications," she said. "When he is 70 years old and in the last years of life, he'll remember these decisions. So we have to be cognizant of that every single day."
But Hall acknowledged that implementation of the practice has not been consistent. The federal grant has provided family-finding coaches to about 25 percent of her agency's case managers. The rest have had some training, but not everyone has been doing it right.
"The old ways of doing business, sometimes it takes a while for that to move," Hall said.
In July, the agency required all of its case managers to do some form of family finding within 30 days.
• • •
Two weeks after the judge's decision, Rachell Strawser picked up Elise and took her back to her house, back to a little boy and his twin sisters.
Though Elise was still angry — not only had she lost her children, her family had, too — this was the second visit she had made since the ruling. The Strawsers also reached out to Emilia Bell and Demetris Boyrie. They haven't heard back.
But they are determined to keep J.J.'s family connections alive.

Good thing I'm not a betting man, I would have been eating my hat right now..but good for them that they pulled it off. But I think most of the credit for the KS must go to their fans who really pushed hard to get this publicized and dug even deeper to push up their pledges.
@himmy: I agree that Thorvalla seems doomed - I have (perhaps foolishly) pledged there too…but man, they really need to up their game
And they have no sexy tech demo to help them on their way, just a static house rendered in UNITY…not exactly overwhelming. Still don't like teh card element, but I could probably get over that - but KS projects need to start showing that they have down more prep work,. design (world and mechanics) etc. Not simply arrive with a wheelbarrow of half-baked ideas and then dump them at your feet. sheesh.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you for contacting me about your Tax issue. I will work hard to help you understand the issue clearly.
It is still 2013 and your employee(s) in IL need to have their earnings reported to IL and have IL taxes deducted for 2013. There is still time to do this.
The penalties to the state of IL are likely to be minimal, but you likely will out state unemployment in arrears.
You will need to register with IDES (State employment commission) as soon as possible: http://www.ides.illinois.gov/default.aspx
I would NOT recommend waiting to 2014 to do this.
In addition, if your business operates in IL, you may wish to register in IL as a foreign LLC.
Information about IL LLC's can be found here: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/business_services/limited_liability_companies/home.html
Your LLC will still be based in Texas, but it will have a foreign registration in IL. You will likely be liable for IL state taxes starting in 2013
So, do I file the earlier quarters of 2013 late for employee income tax and wait for an interest and penalty notice?
I don't understand the phrase "but you likely will out state unemployment in arrears."
What tab under Illinois LLC would direct me to "foreign LLC"?
Yes, you will need to catch up with the earlier 2013 quarters. Since you are in the 4th Q, you are not late there. The 3Q reports were due only 3 weeks ago.
That phrase above makes no sense to me either. You will have some penalties for late payment and filing, but it should not be an overwhelming amount. Sometimes you can ask for penalties to be abated on the first time.
You may wish to seek advice of an IL attorney regarding registration requirements in IL, but this form: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/publications/pdf_publications/llc455.pdf is typically used to register your foreign LLC in IL.

Hey guys, I was looking to order some candy resin figures from Kaitendoh and was wondering if candy resin is as fragile as I think it is. What are the chances that it would break? Does anyone have any experience with this type of material? Thanks everyone!
Candy Resin...as fragile as it seems?n/a
Comments (3)
04 years agoOrannis
It's definitely very stiff. I didn't have any trouble with my Kaitendoh Ymirs, until I tried removing the axe from one of them... sheared clean off at the sleeve join. Fortunately I was able to glue it back on.
04 years agoBloempje Hunting my grails
I own item #54021 she came with a broken hairpiece picture #391924 I quess the bigger the figure is the more chance it will break, i removed her clothes a lot of times for pictures. To remove the clothes i have to remove the arms and sometimes the head, until now nothing happend. I quess it is better to leave this figures alone! But to answer you question, i don't think this figures have more chanche to break then coldcast for example. It is my only candy resin but i have 7 coldcasts nothing happend. It will always be a risk i quess
04 years agoMaronn
I have one candy resin figure item #79551 and she really is fragile. I almost instantly broke some fingers and the cloth thingie got lots of cracks. (And it's not like I did not try to be super careful...)
The chances that something will break is very high I guess. Candy resin doesn't seem to resist a lot of pressure, nor attraction. It's very stiff and absolutely not flexible. But maybe nothing will happen if you'll be extra, extra careful. ;) Good luck!

Women and Addiction Recovery
This article will give you information on learning more about different aspects of women and addiction. Since many individuals need different treatment methods, it's understood that differences between treating males and females is also important for recovery. It is never easy to have to deal with having substance abuse issues and getting help can be very difficult. A person may not feel comfortable with a certain treatment because they are not around their peers. By going to a female only center, you can make sure that you get the treatment that you need.
Everyone falls into a cycle of dependency for different reasons. Sometimes for females, these reasons can be rather similar. When treating women and addiction, it's important for the counselors and doctors to create a safe and comfortable place. When a person is in a rehab program, they go through many emotional shifts. It can be very hard for them to understand fully what has happened in their life to cause dependencies to develop. Many counselors will use group therapy meetings to help a person hear about other people's feelings and thoughts. It may awaken a similar feeling and understanding in them.
Since many issues that could arise deal with men it only makes sense that getting addiction treatment that is focused on women could be the most helpful. Since men may have caused some of the reasons that a female turned to drugs and alcohol it can be very helpful for them to talk with others that may have been in similar circumstances. By having a person there that can listen and relate to what you're saying this can make a really big difference during the recovery process. You don't want to be in a situation where you feel you can't say something because, it may offend another person.
As you do research into finding a center that specializes in women and addiction, make sure that you start creating a network at home. You'll want to speak with your family and friends about what you've been going through and how you're looking for help. This could be the start of a support system that will help you through recovery and after wards. It can be very hard acknowledging that you need help. By working with others in a women and addiction program, you can make sure that you have the best recovery possible.

"Totally loved the design & end product, very proud to send the beautiful cards out to family & friends, unsurprisingly I've been asked for product details..."
"I was looking for a simple yet elegant card to send basically everyone on my Christmas card list! We have lived in the suburbs for 22 years, so this is a BIG DEAL!! When I found Tiny Prints, I was impressed with everything about the product and ordering experience. Then when the cards came with matching labels, I was so excited!! I had never used Tiny Prints, but when people asked who I got the great cards from, they HAD heard of them! So obviously a great reputation was already there! Thank you, Tiny Prints, for the PERFECT, great quality cards and labels!! I have sent them all out!! I will be back!!!"
"I was thoroughly pleased with these cards. It is certainly a fun little splurge and I look forward to showing them off to my fellow moms. We so often meet moms out and about and talk about play dates. The paper quality is sturdy enough to hold up in my wallet or purse so they are always at the ready!"
"The cards were as cute and perfect as the picture I saw. It was easy to complete my order an fast. The quality of the paper and the color was really amazing!!"
"The card turned out beautiful! I'm using them as General thank you cards and notes to my son teachers. The card is very elegant with a nicer green pattern."

Speed enforcement cameras installed by police near Gatewood Elementary
Speeding along Fauntleroy Ave. S.W. near Gatewood Elementary School in West Seattle is under the watchful eye of automated school zone cameras as of Nov. 1, according to Seattle Police.
Gatewood is located at 4320 S.W. Myrtle St., and made the short list of four Seattle schools (from an original list of 50) with chronic speeding problems during school hours.
According to Det. Jeff Kappel with SPD, "Last summer, the list of schools was presented to Mayor McGinn. SDOT (Seattle's Department of Transportation) and ATS (the city contracted vendor) then performed feasibility studies at the locations and determined they were all good candidates for cameras. Each of the school principals were notified of the plans for automated speed enforcement and were all supportive of the cameras."
SPD is implementing a warning period from Nov. 1 until Nov. 26, where those caught by the camera will be sent a warning in the mail. From Nov. 27 on (the day kids get back from Thanksgiving break), real citations will be sent out at a fixed $189.00, according to Kappel.
"The goal of this program is not to issue tickets," Kappel wrote, "but to improve safety and reduce collisions by raising awareness that speeding in school zones is particularly dangerous for children and pedestrians."
Gatewood Principal Rhonda Claytor said the location of their school, sandwiched between the two major thoroughfares of Fauntleroy and California, made it a prime candidate for the fixed camera, and "anytime people are driving more slowly it's a good thing" for the safety of children and pedestrians in the area.
The school speed limit is 20 mph when lights are flashing or children are present.
In an August meeting between Seattle City Council's Transportation Committee and police, the program was discussed in detail.
During that meeting, police said motorists will notice a tell-tale flash if they are caught by the camera, and should expect to see a ticket in the mail about a week later.
Cameras are also being installed at Broadview-Thompson K-8, Thurgood Marshall Elementary and Olympic View Elementary. Gatewood was chosen because, even with clearly visible, flashing school speed zone signs, motorists continue to whizz by.
Seattle Police also plan to use a mobile speed enforcement van in West Seattle and other parts of the city. Our Lady of Guadalupe on the 7100 block of 35th Ave S.W. is a contender. While the van is unmarked, SPD said they will put up sandwich boards signifying school zone speed limits are being enforced.

[VIDEO PICK: Off the Post] From the Austrian lower divisions to the top tier of Brazilian ball, here are two ways not to take a penalty kick ...
Stadl-Paura led 5-1 SK Altheim when it was awarded a penalty kick. The TV commentator accused the players who conjured the trick play of "watching too much YouTube." Well, now they're on YouTube.
Former AC Milan star Alexandre Pato attempted a
Panenka that failed miserably and handed a shootout win to Gremio over Corinthians to advance to the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. Dida, as you'll see, wasn't fooled for a second.
And since we're speaking of Panenkas, here's how the PK method got its
name, when Antonin Panenka chipped down the middle while West German keeper Sepp Maier flew into the corner to hand the Czechs the 1976 European Championship title.

The tape has a paper backing and is applied between the sheets as they are installed. It is more effective than caulk, and since the butyl does not cure, it tends to creep within joints to absorb the movement of the metal with changes in temperature.

SC, that's awesome!
I'd like to say that I don't dislike Jillian, I just need to project my anger at someone so I can let it out. She just happens to be right in front of me. Sort of like how I threaten Mr. Spring with bodily harm any time we're doing exercise type activity, mainly it's because it makes him laugh when I'm all grumpy pants like that.
Those anterior raises with side lunge kill my arms by the last two on that second set, but I'm only using 2lb weights.
Being able to read along with everyone's progress and experience with it is really keeping me motivated and actually looking forward to doing it, which is really surprising to me.

Hows it? Recently spotted 2 new vws on the scene here in Maui but haven't had the chance to spot them while standing still. If it's you, what do you got and trying to meet up?
1st - A1 Jetta coupe. Looks to be primered green. Racks. Diesel, seemed to scoot around faster than a 1.6 na so maybe td?
2nd - A2 Gti. Dark silver/grey. Turbo. Maybe saw an A4 badge on back so maybe 1.8t?
Anyone know about these cars? I'm about (2 months away) to take a trip back to md to drive my tdi caddy to Cali for shipment to Maui and I'd like to cruise. Met and spoke with a dude yesterday with a Canadian spec 93 Corrado and we'll be gtg when the caddy arrives.

You can only get your email, not the customer's.
Thanks for answering.
What I meant is , for example, making an app that customer is able to login via Envato API, there I can get customer's email.
Hi all
As we all know, with the new Envato API, we are able to get user's email address. So I am wondering if it is violating Envato's terms to build a marketing application to capture user's email and send them emails(promotional etc)?
Thank you in advanced for answering my question.

water leak on tile shower floor
I need some advice,we have a tile shower floor around two years old.
Water is leaking into our garage from the floor.
I spoke with a plumber and he suggested taking out the tile floor and replacing it with a cast iron shower receptor.
One piece unit that would not be likly to leak.
My other option would be remove the entire floor and check the pan and
board and replace with new shower floor.
Would the shower receptor be a job for a plumber or tile person?
Tile will need to be replaced around the lower wall of the shower.
What is your advise on a shower receptor versus new tile floor?
If it is the drain that is leaking, that can usually be fixed without removing the floor. If the floor is leaking, not much choice. And if the subfloor under is rotted, also not much choice.

text: Mehrune's Razor: Now *this* is a quest! A huge dungeon full of atmosphere and interesting areas and loads of enemies. Unfortunately it is also littered with every other problem that plagues Oblivion - scaled enemies, scaled drops and scaled chests. It is a sort of cognitive dissonance - you are working your way through a nicely designed and atmospheric dungeon that is mostly empty and contains a bunch of enemies that are easily defeated. All of this for a single excellent weapon and a decent armor set that you will probably just sell since you already have something better. I was very disappointed with this module - such a great dungeon full of possibilities left unrealized in a sea of scaled blandness. Had it presented an actual challenge and more than a minor reward it would have been worth purchasing by itself.

Fletcher And Sidebottom
Lead Notts Attack
Featured News | 11th April 2010
A single wicket for Samit Patel and two for Darren Pattinson completed a satisfactory day in the field although Notts will be keen to get back in the pavilion as early as possible on the final day.
"Having this fixture at this stage of the season is good for us and it's important that we get what we need from it which is effective match practice rather than a win," said Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell.
"We won't enforce the follow-on and the plan is to mop up the tail and have another bat tomorrow.
"Luke Fletcher and Ryan Sidebottom were our most effective bowlers but it's a flat wicket and not a particularly threatening Durham attack so if our batsmen get a start they should be going on to score fifties and hundreds."

This is kind of a disappointment. I rather enjoy Carlos Zambrano spazzing out from time to time. It's amazing how it was tolerable when the guy was actually a good pitcher, but man has he gone south in a couple years. You want to talk about shitty contracts Zambrano got about $90 million over 5 years and in return the Cubs have gotten nothing but a comedy show.
It's also astonishing how some teams have such a tough time admitting mistakes. We all know that Zambrano was once an elite pitcher, but when do you say when. Quite frankly, the guy is an embarrassment to the entire organization. I know it would suck to let him walk and half to pay him. These contracts professional athletes sign are something. To this day, we the public continue to wonder why athletes behave the way they do in public life. I mean look at Big Z, the guy is doing the equivalent to walking around the office with his pants down and taking a shit on his desk, yet he's not getting fired from his job.
Oh Well. I love the spaz outs from Big Z. I also love that he went to dinner that night with Ozzie Guillen. Absolute joke.

I have this vacuum. It does a pretty good job of keeping my beige-ish carpet beige-ish, instead of black from my dog shedding EVERYWHERE.
TONS of very good reviews (4.5 out of 5.0) over at bestbuy.com
Here is its Amazon page.
And you can find the Best Buy reviews here.
Comments from a previous sale
I have this vacuum from a previous sale. I hated it so much I gave it away. The people I gave it to also hated it, so it sits in a closet unused. I have 2 dyson uprights, but prefer a canister, so I thought this would be perfect, but it just does not pick up well at all.
I just sold my 9? 10? year old DC14 for $100. Dyson's hold up and they do well on carpet but it blew on hard floors unless you use the wand directly and even then it wasn't that strong.
My points are Dysons are loud, suction is mediocre, but they are pretty and hold up well.
I bought a little Eureka cordless stick thing for $22 at a Amazon return store (Essex) and that picks up better than the DC14. And yes, I cleaned my DC14 thoroughly, taking off all the pieces to clean them.
I will be looking at a refurb Rainbow if I need a serious vacuum again.
Does this come with accessories?
dyson.woot.com and pyle.woot.com would make sense
I have the smaller version of the same vacuum and it has always worked great. Except once when suddenly it "sucked" and not in a good way.
Talking with a friend I discovered there are 2 filters in the Dyson. I had only been cleaning 1.
Most people who complain loudly about a Dyson are the same ones who don't read directions. (yes i was guilty) So I went back and read the manual & found all the issues that I had were solved.
The hard floor use needed to disable the brush attachment and possibly pull the suction trigger if it gets stuck to the floor. the brush disable keeps items from being strewn across the floor. Washing the filters Monthly (and reversing water thru the filter to force out the dirt / dust (we sanded walls for painting and the Dyson sucked up all the dust & dirt (also when I found out about the 2nd filter)
The dc39 we just bought my mom came with a crevice tool and stair tool, with the trigger head (air powered beater bar) .
The only thing I don't like is the cleaning of the filters, it isn't necessarily easy to get imbedded dirt (especially when our dirt is more clay & sand) So I use a very bright flashlight to shine thru the filter to identify what parts are still dirty and keep cleaning until i can see light thru the filters. But it's better than paying $20 or so for a hepa filter every other month.
The hard floor attachment isn't included, sells for $50.
This one doesn't list the Stair tool and a Combination tool with a nozzle that converts to a brush tool for dusting so I assuming they aren't included.
sjboyer wrote:This one doesn't list the Stair tool and a Combination tool with a nozzle that converts to a brush tool for dusting so I assuming they aren't included.
Those are the only two accessories included, actually.
Don't believe 'em. Tried the Dyson Ball Vacuum and spent the night in the ER. My nuts still hurt.
I bought this during a previous Woot deal and absolutely love it. I dread vacuuming, but this machine actually makes it enjoyable. It's a very nice looking vacuum, too.
It looked brand new upon arrival and came with clear instructions. We have two cats and two dogs and this machine seems to really suck out all of that excess fur from our carpets.
It also works well on our hard floors (I turn off the rotating brush of the floor attachment for these).
It came with two accessory attachments, a crevice and stair tool. They store on the wand.
I have two minor complaints. One, the brush option of the crevice tool is a pain to engage or disengage, so I just leave it engaged. Two, the "storage" notch for the wand of the vacuum is underwhelming. The wand attaches by a plastic hook to a small opening on the canister when not in use. It works, but I fear it will break some day.
This is my first Dyson and my first canister vacuum. I'm very happy with the product. Shipping was fast and the vacuum was well-packed. I think it was a great buy!
We have 2 of these. Not 1 bad word to say. 1 in our home 1 in our vacation home plus other models.
Dyson is the best and this is the best canister vacuum available.
I bought it. I've been looking for this vacuum for a good price for a long time.
I actually bought the canister vac today, from Costco. I'm returning it tomorrow. Here's why:
1) very short cord (21'), which means I have to stop and replug in (I don't have to do that with my Kenmore canister).
2) Suction is ok, but no better than any other vac
3) cord is strange, so I can't turn left, I have to turn right to not tangle up the cord
4) attachments don't fit on the vac so I have to leave them somewhere and come back and get them, which sort of defeats the purpose of the convenience of a canister.
What attachments does this come with?

Dobbs chimes in on CNN's new 8pm Spitzer/Parker show
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
When last we heard from Lou Dobbs he was busy pushing his anti-immigrant hysteria on Fox News, preparing for his address at the upcoming National Tea Party (Birther) Convention and considering a run for the White House.
Now TVNewser is reporting that Dobbs has offered up his opinion to Gail Shister on CNN's new 8pm show featuring former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker:
After a few moments of laughter he told [Shister]:
"All I can say is, Good Lord almighty." (more laughter) "It's something to behold. I'll leave it at that."
Frankly, I'm surprised Dobbs didn't request copies of Spitzer and Parker's birth certificates.
Say what you will about CNN's new 8pm show but the real joke at CNN for years was Lou Dobbs and he's probably still smarting that he no longer has that enormous perch from which to attack immigrants and advance loony conspiracy theories.

Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD), also known as peripheral arterial disease, occurs when the blood supply to the arms, legs or internal organs, not including the heart and brain, is restricted due to hardened and narrowed arteries and veins. This process, known as atherosclerosis, is a result of the gradual buildup of plaque in blood vessels.
PVD is similar to coronary artery disease, in which blood supply to your heart is restricted by hardened arteries, which can lead to a heart attack. Similarly, if plaque buildup occurs in the carotid artery (a large artery in the neck), it can be a major contributor to a stroke.
People who smoke or have diabetes have a high risk of developing PVD. Those with high blood pressure or high cholesterol are also at risk.

Sad news and warning for backyard beekeepers.

Sad news and warning for backyard beekeepers.
I am sharing this with you so you could avoid similar unpleasant experience.
I received a note from village official (Norridge IL, near Chicago) to remove my bees from my back yard property, "code violation", 4 bee families. Initially 6 days to comply, extended later to 2 weeks.
The hives are Kenyan TBH type with windows, garden / backyard character, ornamental. Bees are absolutely harmless. I never used a smog, veil used only very rarely, only with major jobs with a lot scrubbing, cutting and direct extensive irritation in brood area. One side neighbor had nothing against a bees, with the other side neighbor there was no discussion about it. This neighbor is separated with high, dense hedge about 9".
I put a lot of work and my hart to construct the hives and I developed a few innovative things and devices for this kind of beekeeping, not talking about gathered results of observation, what I shared with other in my home page, (some of it)
Now all this have to forgotten because my type of beekeeping, in which honey is a secondary thing as a gift in addition to a pleasure of beekeeping have to be liquidated.
Translocation of hives to different area is out of question because my type of beekeeping is only possible in backyard condition, not remote setting.
So, with sadness I will have to say goodbye to this group of beekeepers.

did you get a copy of the ordinance you're supposedly violating? I've seen code enforcement officers incorrectly interpret rules before.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

I am very sorry to hear this.
What is the violation?
Too many hives or are you not allowed to have bees in your area at all?
Can you appeal this?
Please don't give up without a fight, I am so sick of hearing stories about beekeepers being harrassed.
Please let us know what happens and I wish you the best of luck.

I built my father a TBH also, and he live in Glen Ellyn, Ill. They can't have hives there either, unless you have 5 or more acres. Considered livestock. Fortunately, his property backs up to an open area which happens to be in an adjacent township which allowed him to put bees there. He has just one hive.
Code from Village of Norridge:
Sec. 14-4. Keeping animals other than domestic pets.
No person shall own, keep or allow to be at large any bees, goats, sheep, hogs, cattle or fowl within the village. Fowl shall include chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks and pigeons.
(Code 1972, ch. 11, art. 3, § 4)
Pretty clear.
So, what are you doing with the bees? Good chance to sell them. In fact, I know of a keeper in Chicago that was late and didn't get an order in for this year, and he wants to start with a Top Bar Hive.

David is referring to me. I've been thinking and studying for a little over a year, but am coming to the party a little late. (I didn't realize bee orders had to be put in so early.)
I am truly sorry to hear of your problem. As a chicken owner, I went through a similar thing about a year ago, when a Chicago alderman with too much time on her hands proposed to ban all chicken ownership (due to one or two problems in her own westside ward). We were able to fight it and reach out to our local alderman, who was able to successfully kill the proposal. I don't know how Norridge politics work, but one of the things that helped us was that a larger organization interested in urban agriculture (and experienced with dealing with politicians) rallied behind us few chicken owners to get this done. They are a group of many smaller groups all focused on various aspects of agricultural endeavors in the metro area. It was in their interest fight for chicken ownership even though it isn't their focus. I would think beekeeping would fit right in. I'll look up their info and ask the director if she'd like to take on this issue in Norridge.
If you don't have time or this doesn't work, I am only days away from beginning to build my TBH, so if it turns out you do need to sell your equipment and bees, I would be interested. Again, I am truly more interested in helping you change the system on this in Norridge, not in benefiting from your trouble, so I do not want to come off as an opportunist. But if you do need to sell, please email me and we can discuss.
I'll email the organization's director, Martha, right now to see if she is able to take on your cause.

Thank you all for expressing sympathy and readiness to assist. I didn't anticipate so many responses in such short time.
This is not a tragedy for me. There are plenty of other really serious reasons for what we are helpless and hopeless. Sure it is sad to stop suddenly doing something pleasant and useful between other things when skiing, tennis or windsurfing on waves of Okipa Hawaii has got irretrievable history.
This is not only my personal case. This is something much bigger, affecting large spectrum of matters in which a bunch of ignorants create a law. In this case I could bet that this bunch of persons didn't differentiate common honey bee from wasp, otherwise they wouldn't put all bees in one bag and say NO. They don't know that there are thousands of kinds of bees. For these intellectually primitive bureaucrats it was "wise" to say NO, and this is what is sad.
With regards

While the TBH does usually require more management, a once a week inspection should be fine. I suspect winter/spring feeding might take more management/trips. Check with private schools in your area, or nature parks. They may be willing to start a project with you. A nature center would love your observation hives. Perhaps Schiller Woods Forest Preserve.
Sorry Steven, I didn't mean to imply that you would be opportunistic on someone else's misfortune.
My father also tried to talk with the city (Glen Ellyn) about his bees and it was going nowhere.
It's strange they allow bees in Chicago, a more densely populated city, but not many of the suburbs.

I am sorry to hear that you have to lose your bee's, but let me make a couple of suggestions. One I would try and vote the incumbents out of office and see if you can get that law repealed. If that didn't work try running city council to change the law yourself.

David, Oh...you didn't imply that. I just felt like I might come across that way by expressing interest in purchasing the hive(s) if they end up needing to go.
Anyway, I heard back from Martha about my questions to her concerning this situation. She did say that bees are not legal in Evanston, but that a couple of exceptions had been granted. Not sure of the circumstances. Her general advice was to engage the lawmakers, to perhaps give a tour to show the truth of the situation, and to frame beekeeping as the environmentally important issue that it is. With so much ignorance about beekeeping, some real education needs to happen to help politicians reconsider these laws.
I don't know if you want to engage this in a more public way, but I have also had some interviews with newspaper reporters who wrote chicken stories (during the controversy over the proposed ban), and media attention can be useful as well, at least it was in that case.
It is interesting that Chicago has so much more openness concerning many of these restrictions. My theory is that it is historically a city of immigrants. Around the world, these practices are common, and so it has been common practice. As people have moved into the suburbs (and as the suburbs evolved), I wonder if people saw these practices as 'old world' or a practice of subsistence existence. So, perhaps, laws were written that would prohibit practices that retain those connections. It's funny... my sister lives up at Prairie Crossing -- a development in the far northern suburbs that touts itself as being something of an eco-community -- but she is not officially allowed to hang a clothes line. It seems they like the idea of eco, as long as they can't see anyone's skivvies drying on a warm spring day. :-)

Those are beautiful hives. I saw the photos on the Polish-language site. Very lovely. They remind me a bit of some Scandinavian furniture I've seen and admired.

Thank you again for additional suggestions and trying to help.
All these suggestions are valuable and certainly if applied properly would lead to some kind of success.
My type of beekeeping was a kind of useful pleasure when other physical activities have got impossible. Straight, erected, comfortable position, no bending and lifting during manipulation and maintenance of hives, simple main construction. This was what I wanted and that is why I mention in some of other post that I don't see any negative sides of this type of hive. (Young, physically fit persons may have different opinion). Not amount of honey was a motor of my activities but useful pleasure, relax from other not physical activity, and excellent condition for biological observations. I use a veil very rarely and no smog at all.
There was plenty of honey for me and some friends. I didn't sale any honey and this was not my intention. Having all this a few steps from my back door is the most important thing. That is why I don't intend to move these hives to some remote place and do some maintenance work once a week or two weeks of even less often, as some of you suggested. To beg officials for mercy? - to change a law or "law" one little bee even suicide in protest is not enough. Even if all of you from this forum actively would participate I doubt for success. Creation this kind of law we may regard as something strange but you are, I think, aware that overwhelming majority of general population regard honey bee as dangerous species for them. That this is very wrong we know, but this is a different matter. As Mtbe and Steven mention Chicago despite being denser populated does not have such restriction. So, how to understand this law makers.
This is not only my personal case. This is something much bigger, affecting large spectrum of matters in which a bunch of ignorants create a law. For them just to say NO is the "wise" thing.
Peculiar thing is that when one person has a problem to get something some other person has a problem to get rid of the same thing. That is why I don't regard someone to mentioning intention about buying bees and hives as some kind of opportunist in pejorative meaning. At least in my case this is very helpful for me. Otherwise I would have to destroy bees and then trying to sell hives. Not a big deal but some of my hives have some value, I think.
Perhaps I will make some separate page in my internet home page about beekeeping and show what have go in a better hands.

I received personal messages. Trying to reply or send p.m. but it didn't work. Sorry for this kind of post, but I don't see other way to let you know about it.
Wojciech Wlazlinski
Due to city ordinance (Norridge IL) I have to get rid of my bees. We in Norridge may keep only cats and dogs.
Several years of my bee keeping activities lead me to situation that I have some bees, hives, tools, equipment. I didn't sell anything so there is some accumulation. These have got useless because the only way to engage in beekeeping for me is on my backyard.
To sell these things is not hurry but bees in hives have to go this week. (Dead line i May 3, 09) Not a big deal but it has some value.
All hives are kanyans.(Kenyan Top Bar Hives) and equipment related to this kind of beekeeping.
Please go to:
for some details.

I'm new here - and so new to beekeeping that I'm still awaiting my 1st nuc of bees. But that doesn't prevent me from reading, thinking, and reacting to something I read on here yesterday.
While perusing the site to determine whether or not to join (limited time for unlimited hobbies and interests), I came across a post from 2009 by Wojtek. Now I can see that it was a long time ago, but the issue he raised then is still valid today.
And I quote:
"Sad news and warning for backyard beekeepers.
I am sharing this with you so you could avoid similar unpleasant experience.
I received a note from village official (Norridge IL, near Chicago) to remove my bees from my back yard property, "code violation", 4 bee families. Initially 6 days to comply, extended later to 2 weeks."
Yesterday was grass cutting day and while riding around on the mower, there's little else to do except think. And whenever I think, I tend to focus on the injustices that our officials at every level of our society and government foist upon us. Usually this is just because they can... not because it's right. So Wojtek's plight, and other similar issues that crop up on my favorite site - Earthineer - make me want to react to the stupidity of my fellow man. Those of you who were raised during the fabulous 60's understand, I'm sure.
But how to react? Individuals tend to get worn down or beaten down before meaningful change can occur and lawyers representing individuals and groups tend to stick to formulas as they fight the system. That's not how my mind works.
Here's how it went while cutting grass:
Every state has laws pertaining to livestock - including the definition of "livestock".
There are places that don't want bees in the neighborhood.
Someone gets bees labeled as "livestock".
Now laws can restrict where you can have bees. After all, who wants to live next to a stockyard?
You have bees... ergo you have livestock... get rid of them.
Everyone fights this by trying to be logical and explaining to the courts that bees are necessary, bees are declining in population, and bees are only concerned with survival - not harassing the neighbors. The vast amount of the time the courts rule in favor of the restrictive laws. That's the way the system (doesn't) works.
INSTEAD of this tired old approach. How about suing everyone in the neighborhood, county, state, whatever because they are breaking all kinds of animal cruelty and livestock protection laws by using pesticides. After all, I can't poison your cows because I don't like the way they smell or sound. Why should you be able to poison my "livestock" (bees) because you are afraid of them, don't like the sound they make, don't like honey - just how weird are you - or whatever.
A few cases like that and I would believe that a workable compromise could be reached.
This is the kind of thing that happens when I cut grass. Maybe someone younger out there will have the inclination to polish the argument, enact it, and be a hero to everyone who has to fight stupidity in their "pursuit of happiness".
((Also, I'm having trouble understanding the whole forum, category, board posing hierarchy thing. I'm sure it will come with experience. But in the meantime if this should be posted elsewhere, please feel free to move it.))

Ah - a revived thread ...
Another approach to consider, which has worked well for at least one urban beekeeper here in Britain, is not to 'keep bees' at all - but to make a bird-box instead, in the hope of providing a nesting site for one of our more threatened species of birds ... which the authorities tend to look favourably upon, as there is in existence here a rather powerful bird-protection lobby.
So you build yourself a bird nesting box - which has an uncanny resemblance to a Warre beehive, or perhaps a traditional Japanese 'Nest of Boxes' beehive - just ensure that you make a 22mm circular entrance hole (into which a standard wine cork will fit) instead of the more usual beehive 'slot', and why not fit a piece of dowel beneath it for the birds to perch on ...
And if that doesn't look convincing enough - then why not paint a sign above the hole, which reads "I am a bird-box" ! (or "Acme Industries Bird-Box Mk.I")
You now have a choice - either keep the bird-box at a fairly low height, or raise it up into a tree if you happen to have one handy.
" Well, bless my soul - just look - a swarm of feral bees have just moved into my bird-box ! ".
Now how they happened to have got in there ahead of the birds, I can't possibly comment upon - but the important point to focus on is that you are not 'keeping bees', nor even 'causing bees to be kept' - because there is not any 'keeping' involved here - it is just simply a case of a swarm of (cough) feral bees setting up home within the boundaries of your property.
The onus is usually then upon a complainant to demonstrate that these feral bees are causing an unacceptable nuisance to them - which can be tough to prove, if the owners of the property themselves do not consider them to be a nuisance.
Could be a tactic worth considering ...

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Kason Gabbard came out after throwing only one pitch in the second inning because the Texas Rangers didn't want to take any chances with the rookie left-hander's stiff forearm.
Even with Gabbard out, the Rangers received a promising preview from one of the rookies they acquired from the Boston Red Sox when Texas dealt closer Eric Gagne at the trading deadline.
Outfielder David Murphy went 3-for-4 with three doubles, three runs scored and an RBI as the Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 9-1 on Sunday night. He is the only rookie in the majors with three doubles in a game this season.
"Babe Ruth," manager Ron Washington jokingly said. "He looks like he knows what he's doing out there. He's a ballplayer."
Murphy is 4-for-6, all of his hits doubles, in two starts since the Rangers brought him up from Triple-A Oklahoma before the weekend series. He played college ball at Baylor, only about a 90-minute drive from Arlington.
"I'm getting an opportunity here. All I want to do is make the most of it," Murphy said. "There is time left before the end of the season. As a whole, that's going to make up my first impression."
Michael Young hit his 100th career homer, Marlon Byrd had a two-run single and Willie Eyre (4-5) threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings of emergency relief.
After Delmon Young led off the second with a deep flyball, Gabbard took a moment on the mound. Washington then came out with trainer Jamie Reed and they only talked to Gabbard, who handed the ball to Washington and walked to the dugout.
Washington said they knew before the game that Gabbard was stiff, but said "it's nothing to be concerned with" even though the pitcher has had four arm operations in the past. The manager expects Gabbard to start as scheduled Friday at Minnesota.
"I threw on the side on Friday and I guess I did too much. It was tight when I went home. But it's a minor setback," Gabbard said. "It's frustrating and aggravating. I felt it on all my pitches. I wanted to stay in and pitch."
Gabbard threw only 18 pitches (12 strikes) in a reunion with Florida high school battery mate Jarrod Saltalamacchia, the rookie catcher who came from Atlanta for Mark Teixeira in a trade finalized at the trading deadline like the deal with the Red Sox.
In 2000, Gabbard was a senior and Saltalamacchia a freshman starter for the Royal Palm Beach High team that made it to the 6A state tournament.
Gabbard gave up a leadoff single to Jonny Gomes, then retired his last four batters with two strikeouts. He is 1-1 for Texas after going 4-0 in seven starts for the Red Sox.
Gomes was 3-for-5 with an RBI single in the eighth. Carl Crawford was 0-for-5 with two strikeouts to end his team record of eight consecutive multihit games. He also had a career-best 12-game hitting streak overall, going 28-for-49 (.571) in that stretch.
Byrd's single in the third made it 2-0. After Young led off the fifth with his sixth homer of the season to make it 4-0, Byrd had a double that chased Jason Hammel (1-2).
"Hammel's velocity was there, but his control wasn't," manager Joe Maddon said. "He didn't have control of any of his pitches."
Eyre allowed four hits and walked three, but none of them scored. The Devil Rays had the bases loaded in the fourth when Ben Zobrist lined into an inning-ending double play.
Tampa Bay loaded the bases again in the seventh -- on two walks and a hit batter -- before Frank Francisco, the fourth of five Texas pitchers, struck out Delmon Young for the final out.
Murphy reached on a fielder's choice in the fourth and scored on a triple by Frank Catalanotto, who might have had an inside-the-park homer had he not jogged to first watching the ball that ricocheted off an angled wall in right-center.
After Young and Byrd go the fifth started, Brad Wilkerson had an RBI single before Jason Boots and Murphy each drove in a run with doubles to make it 7-0.
Hammel is winless in 14 major league starts, five this season. His only victory came in relief. ... The game time temperature was 98 degrees, the hottest of the season. ... Rangers 2B Ian Kinsler had his 14th stolen base. He is the only player in the majors with more than seven stolen bases without being thrown out this season.

A cam dilema
Since I don't really know too much about my Mopar 440, I spent a little time in the university library looking for information. Lucky for me they have shop manuals going back to 1940! I found basically everything I needed except for the cam specs. An interesting note is that this engine is rated at 195HP@3600RPM's ( :eek: :( :confused: ) but has a torque rating of 320@2000RPM's.
Also, when I was looking at valve lift, all they had was for the 440 High Performance engine, which I'm pretty sure mine is not!! :( (well, at least it isn't yet ;) )
So, if anyone knows what the stock cam was in a 1978 Chrysler 440, leave me a message or send me an e-mail. It's not going to be very big as this was smack in the middle of the whole emissions era. Any recommendations on a cam?
I have an old spec book that lists the information on a 1978 440 stock cam. There are a whole lot of specifications so if I miss what you are looking for let me know and I will take another look.
Rocker ratio - 1.50 Valve lift Intake - .434 exhaust - .430 Intake valve timing - opens 20 degrees BTDC, closes 60 degrees ABC, duration 260 degrees. Exhaust valve timing opens 70 degrees BBC, closes 18 degrees ATC duration 268 degrees, overlap is 38 degrees.
Hope this helps.
So what kind of duration should I look for in a cam? I want to go slightly bigger than stock, but small enough to not kill me as it will be a daily driver.
Jegs sales Mopar performance parts Purple Shafts, which make excellent cams. The 2 lightest profiles are (1). .268/284 duration .450/.458 lift (2). 280/280 duration .474/.474 lift. Either of these would make really good street cams with out sacrificing reliablity. On a Mopar engine, I would say you could probably go even hotter without sweeting it since V8 Mopar engines for the most part are bullet proof.
