British-American sister act, The Sonflowerz, are experiencing their most successful year yet. In August of 2007, the act won first place in the Vocal Duo competition and won Best Over-All Vocal Group at the 33rd annual GMA Music in the Rockies. Their 3rd studio release "All Over The World" features radio singles "Edge Of My Seat" (#1 on the CRW IAA Radio chart in the first week) and "My Adoration", an original worship song written by lead singer and guitarist, Elissa Leander and producer Don Koch, ranked in the Top 5 of the national Inspirational CRW radio chart.
\r\nThe Sonflowerz began in 1999 when Elissa began writing original worship songs at the age of 14. Encouraged by her youth pastor to form a band with her sister, Becca (bass/vocals/keyboard/guitar), they began performing at venues across their home state of Colorado.
\r\nTheir brand new 3rd album "All Over The World", released May 13th 2008, produced by Dove Award-winning songwriter Don Koch, is a collection of 11 new songs highlighting their captivating harmonies and honest songwriting.

Had a sigma, liked the gun, reliable as anything could be. Tried all the tricks on the web to make the trigger better - slightly improved it, but its still a really long, heavy trigger.
I sold it, I figured the money was better spent towards a gun that was easier/more enjoyable/better for me to shoot. I know some people say, "quit whinning - its like a long DA revolver trigger" but thats not what I wanted in my semi-auto pistols.

THE board of Dexus Property escaped a second strike from investors for its remuneration report at its annual meeting.
At last year's meeting, more than 25 per cent of shareholders voted down the report, saying incentives paid to the executives were out of sync with the group's performance.
But on Monday an overwhelming 98.3 per cent of votes were cast in favour of the report. Shareholders said they welcomed the new chief executive, Darren Steinberg, and the direction the company was taking.
The chairman, Chris Beare, said there had been a new way of doing business under Mr Steinberg. He said the remuneration policy for short- and long-term incentives payments had been changed and there was to be no increase in fixed remuneration for the 2013 financial year.
These resolutions were passed at Monday's meeting.
''The last 12 months has seen a transformation of Dexus Property with the appointment of a new chief executive, a review of our business and property portfolio and the development of a revised strategy including an extensive review and revision to our remuneration framework,'' Mr Beare said.
In his maiden address, Mr Steinberg reaffirmed the guidance for 2013 earnings of 7.75¢ per security.

Why MPW
Also See
Introducing the PGMPW
SPJIMR's Post Graduate Management Programme for Women (PGMPW) is an innovative initiative designed to meet the needs of women leaders and managers who are ready to return to their careers after a break.
Designed specifically for women who have taken a career break, the PGMPW will address gaps in knowledge and skills as candidates prepare to return to an active career. In doing so, the programme will help open up new opportunities for returning women and at the same time enable corporates build a more gender balanced leadership pipeline.
The PGMPW was launched by Mr. Deepak Parekh, the Chairman of HDFC and the Chairman of SPJIMR's Governing Council on Sep.1, 2016. Our first batch of 2016-17 commenced in January 2017 with 20 aspiring women.
Why Post Graduate Management Programme for Women (PGMPW)?
- Statistics show that a large number of talented women drop out of the workforce at an early to mid-career stage. This exit by women is often voluntary at a particular life stage. (McKinsey Global Institute Report 2015)
- Substantial research indicates that women in senior leadership positions significantly enhance business outcomes
- Women, as representatives of the largest emerging global market, bring valuable perspectives to the table.
In the face of a critical shortage of employment-ready talent, India's business leaders are increasingly looking to women as a crucial untapped economic engine...
From "IndiaInc.: From Intention to Impact", Sep.2015, a report by Catalyst, a non-profit with a mission to accelerate progress for women through workplace inclusion.
Who is this programme for?
You are a qualified and experienced woman, on a break, now aspiring to return to a full time career.
Your challenges are:
- continuity of experience
- contemporary skills
- self-belief and confidence

It states hes signed a multi fight deal I'm sure this won't be exclusive considering his commitments to CW? I'll let Ian comment on that.
Like the tournament. Wish both semi-finals were the same night, but that's a small nitpick.
Although in a perfect world, it would be a 16 man tournament and it would all be in one night ;)

News Release
Duke's Business School Forms Health Sector Advisory Council
November 21, 2002
DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University's Fuqua School of Business has formed its first Health Sector Advisory Council (HSAC), Health Sector Management Faculty Director Kevin Schulman announced Friday.
Formed to provide faculty, students and staff with an outside perspective on health care, HSAC will keep student education and faculty research relevant and problem-centered as the school pursues its mission of expanding the boundaries of theory-based knowledge, Schulman said.
The council, consisting of senior executives from various health care companies as well as faculty and students from several areas of Duke, will review new trends, emerging technologies and research-grounded insights into the fast-changing health care environment.
"We're delighted to have the involvement of senior health care executives in the HSM program. Our program, our students and our faculty all benefit by having their participation," said Schulman. "The council will, in turn, serve as a portal into all the health care resources Duke has to offer in business, medicine, law and public policy along with other health care-related departments."
The chair of HSAC, George Abercrombie, said the HSAC council will not benefit Duke and Fuqua, but will give senior executives the opportunity to interact with those students who will be major decision-makers in the marketplace in future years.
"It will be significant to have contact with Fuqua students and faculty, as well as other Duke departmental faculty from medicine, the Clinical Research Institute, economics, law and public policy," said Abercrombie, president and CEO of Hoffman-LaRoche. "I think we'll also gain some fresh insights into the emerging health care marketplace."
HSAC membership is by invitation of Fuqua Dean Douglas Breeden and Schulman. It will meet twice a year. Members are: Jack Bovender, chairman and CEO, HCA; Bill Ashton, vice president of corporate accounts, Amgen; Mike Doodson, senior vice president, Merck; Andrea Galzer, senior vice president, CIGNA; Tom Grein, treasurer, Eli Lilly; Bill Heiden, president, Praecis; Stan Hull, senior vice president, US Pharmaceuticals, GlaxoSmithKline; Vince Kerr, director, health care management, Ford Motor Co.; Ray Lipicky, visiting scientist, Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory and former director of Cardio-Renal Drug Products, FDA; Jim Mackey, senior vice president, Schering Plough; Beth O'Brien, senior vice president, network operations, CIGNA Healthcare; U.S. Rep. David Price, D-N.C.; Ray Russo, director, therapeutic marketing, Schering Plough; Mark Salyer, senior vice president, sales & marketing, Altana Pharma; Nicky Spaulding, president, cardiac surgery, Guidant Corp.; Sid Stolz, senior vice president, account services, AdvancePCS; Joe Swedish (alumni representative), Centura Health System; Tim Tyson, president, global manufacturing and supply, GlaxoSmithKline; Hans Vemer, president & CEO, Organon Technika; and Bobba Venkatadri, executive vice president, operations, Diosynth RTP, Akzo Nobel subsidiary of Organon Technika.
Members of the HSAC from Duke include Robert Califf, director, Duke Clinical Research Institute and associate vice chancellor of Clinical Research; Brian Freeman, student liaison, class of 2004, Health Sector
Management Program, Fuqua; Henry Grabowski, professor, economics; Will Mitchell, professor, Fuqua; Jeffrey L. Moe, director, health sector emerging issues and development, Fuqua; Stephen Morales, student liaison, class of 2003, Health Sector Management Program, Fuqua; Schulman; and Frank Sloan, J. Alex McMahon professor of healthcare policy and management.
For information about the council, contact Moe, (919) 660-2936, or Schulman, (919) 668-8101.

Help on my 350
I own a 1975 corvette. After I paid the car off I decided that I wanted more power. I have installed an edolbrock rpm performer intake, edolbrock 650 cfm carb, and a cam with the duration of 234/238 @.050. I am not sure of the horsepower but I am guessing low 300's.
I have a buget of about $1,500. I want to keep it mild and somewhat econamical(spelling?).
Thanks for your help.
A 234 dur@.050 cam and economical just don't go together. If you have a high rear gear and not enough compression to support that cam, your car will feel soggy at lower rpms,A smaller cam will give the car more zip on the street that will make it feel stronger. Whats the intended usage of the car? daily driver?street/ strip? What heads,CR,etc
Need some more info, will be glad to help
I have resently installed some 4.10's into it. I saw a great improvement with that. I would like the car to be street with a little strip. Some of my freinds and I race at the track a few times in the summer.
I am not sure about the heads. The guy I bought if from said he didn't replace the heads so they are stock. This is what I would like to replace but I don't know to much about cylinder heads. My latest compression check said there was about 10.5 to 11:1 in each cylinder.
Thanks for your willingness to help me.
P.S. The economical thing doesn't have much of an affect. I live in a small town and rarely take it over 15 miles away from my town.
If you bought a set of AFR 195cc CNC ported heads ($1,300) that motor would make between 425 and 450 hp. If you have the money, these heads are the best bang for the buck.
The highest factory compression in 1975 was 9:1, most were 8.5:1.
From what I gather, this is more of a weekend warrior than a daily driver.
Get a nice set of 64cc heads(the AFR's firestone mentioned are very nice pieces and should be for the price). Dart,World products,etc offer nice iron heads for about 800.00. The 64cc chambers will bump your CR up a full point over the 76cc stockers.
If you have an auto, a stall converter such as a TCI street fighter would be a good investment.
If you can afford the heads get a nice set of them . . . dont overlook the Edelbrock RPM's if your budget is somewhat limited.
If its a daily driver I'd hold off on the stall coverter for a bit. You aren't going to need it with a street cam and those gears. What do you have for exhaust? Headers? what kind? what kind of mufflers?
Do some research on tuning the carb and setting the right timing, both initial and mechanical. You'd be surpised at how many peoples cars are underperforming with what they have.
Bringing history and technology together.
Thanks for you help. I will look into those heads.
As far as exhaust goes, I honestly have no clue what is on it. It has headers on it but I am not sure of the brand. The exhaust pipes are 2 or 2.5 inches and I am not sure of the mufflers. This is an area that will be needing upgrading soon.
I have a full day to mess around with the car. I will research more on my carb and try open it up a bit.
Thanks again for all your comments.
here is the website for those AFR heads that I was talking about. You can look at dynoed combonations and compare them to the components that you have and see how much hp you could expect. Another thing, If you are planning on sticking with the 350 for a long time, I would also consider the 180cc heads.

- Dan Albergotti
In the beginning was the word,
and the word was no.
And the word trembled out
over sand and snow.
Over seas and mountains
the word was spread.
Over clay and ash,
remains of the dead.
In the beginning was the word,
and the word was a lie,
and that lie lay hard
under a darkening sky.
Through wind and rain
the word echoed still.
Through wet summer air,
and dry winter chill.
In the beginning was the world,
and it called for a word
with each great crashing wave,
each still, stiffened bird.
Where still bodies lay
and time would defile,
the world needed a word
to help nurture denial.
In the end the word
was only a sound,
a sound no one hears
beneath grass or mound.
You can still hear it now,
endless echoes of no.
And still blows the sand,
still falls the snow.

text: NEW YORK, June 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- American Realty Capital Properties, Inc. ("ARCP" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ARCP) closed today on its previously announced acquisition of 447 net lease properties at a purchase price of $774 million from certain affiliates of GE Capital. This property portfolio includes assets primarily net leased to nationally recognized restaurant operators including: IHOP; Jack in the Box; Golden Corral; Burger King; Arby's; Taco Bell; Applebee's; Wendy's; Logan's Roadhouse; and Denny's. These ten nationally recognized brands constitute 63% of the net operating income of the 447-property portfolio, part of formerly public Trustreet Properties Inc. The 447 properties acquired represent the entire portfolio acquisition after the parties agreed to remove 24 properties from the originally announced 471 property portfolio, as permitted under the purchase and sale agreement. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120529/NY15147LOGO ) Apart from the GE Capital portfolio acquisition, ARCP has acquired in 2013 an additional 81 properties from its organically developed pipeline for a purchase price of $366.6 million, exclusive of closing costs, at a cap rate of 8.1%. Thus the Company's total acquisitions in 2013 as of June 30 th total $1.14 billion, surpassing it previously announced purchase projections for all of 2013. ARCP also reaffirmed its earlier announcement that it expects to complete its merger with CapLease, Inc. ("CapLease") by the end of the third quarter of 2013. ARCP sees this union as a transformative transaction in which ARCP will add 71 high credit quality, primarily net leased properties, further diversifying its portfolio. Nicholas S. Schorsch, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of ARCP commented, "We are pleased to announce our acquisition of this diverse net lease portfolio from GE Capital. These properties represent a diverse and accretive addition to our best-in-class net lease real estate portfolio. We completed this transaction quickly while adding $366.6 million of other net lease properties in 2013. Currently for 2013, we have bought approximately $1.14 billion of total acquisitions through June. We will continue to augment our asset base and our management team with our expected merger with CapLease, creating a $6.9 billion company by the end of the third quarter of 2013, and adding a team of real estate professionals with an exemplary skillset in building, acquiring and managing high quality, net lease office and industrial assets. We will continue to be deliberate in evaluating our options as we expect to grow the Company further through organic purchases and strategic acquisitions." Mike Weil, President of ARCP added, "We want to thank GE Capital for working closely and collaboratively with us to close this milestone transaction in record time. Through the efforts of our dedicated management and acquisition team, we added a high-quality, diverse portfolio of branded net lease properties housing vibrant business models at a cap rate of roughly 7%. We are thrilled to have assembled one of the strongest net lease REIT portfolios available to the institutional and retail investor in the public, traded markets, diversified across industry, geographical location and tenant."

So i've decided to stop modding my car and leave it at stage 2. Waiting to see if they come out with the STi sedan version in 2010 and if not then i'll be getting the Evo X. So I have some stuff that has been laying around the house that I don't need. All this is for the 2008+ WRX. Believe the fuel pump and uppipe can be used for the 08+sti as well. Not for sure though.
AVO Fuel Pump (Never used, put on, nothing) Originial paid $305 shipped, will to take $275 shipped. If anybody knows, the old Walbroo fuel pumps require A LOT of modification to work with the new 08+. So AVO came out with a direct replacement for us. Same as the LGT one.
Next is the Invidia Uppipe. I paid $165 shipped for it. Willing to take $130 shipped. Never used, was going to put it on when I went with the VF52 but like I stated above, not going to mod anymore. Comes with the EGT bung that can be plugged if you don't have the EGT gauge.
And last up is the Ultimate Racing Intake. This one I actually used for about a month. Put like 1,500 miles with it. Then it has been sitting in my cloest for the last 6 months or so. Paid $220 shipped for it, willing to take $150 shipped.
If you have any question you can PM me here or email me at email@example.com . If paying by paypal please add the 3% paypal fee's. Items will be shipped out next business day after payment is recieved.

Fortis Series
Ph: 877/747-8735
Designed for increased structural integrity and decreased air and water infiltration, Fortis Series windows feature a main frame sill with three sealing locations, including a structural sill interlock that nests into a receptor on the bottom sash. This, coupled with a frame sill dam that is mortised behind the jambs, provides for an R-50 DP rating and an air infiltration rating of 0.05 cfm/ft2, the manufacturer reports. The windows also come standard with VyCore insulating foam in both the frame and sash members as well as ThermaCore composite reinforcement in the meeting rails. The standard dual-pane low-E/argon double-hung unit achieves a 0.26 U-value, with U-values as low as 0.16 in a triple-pane configuration. Another option is an R-5 dual pane insulating glass unit that does not employ hard coat low-E on surface number 4, the manufacturer points out. From Vytex Windows, the new line uses a state-of-the-art inverted constant force balance system said to provide up to a 50 percent reduction in operating force for smoother operation than typical balance systems. The main frame exterior offers a soft, classic architectural detail and the narrow profile interior offers a larger glass viewing area. The windows are also available with VyWood paintable/stainable laminate interiors as well as more than 25 VyCoat exterior colors.

This photo was taken from another website that had photos of the casket of a recently killed Aussie special ops trooper being loaded by his comrades into an aircraft to be sent home after being KIA in Afganistan.
Not to at all make light of his sacrifice.
The photo above has what looks like HK USP Tacticals in the belt holsters of this soldier's comrades in arms. They look to have the extended barrel, an ambi control lever and magazines with modified baseplates.
I took the time to post this because I was unaware of the Aussie SF/SAS using the USP/USP Tactical.

Learn more about what IDEA 2004 really means and its impact on the professions by reading the following issue briefs.
IDEA 2004 eliminated the requirement that state education personnel standards meet the highest requirement for a profession or discipline in that state. Under IDEA 1997, standards for school-based related services providers must have met the "highest requirement in the state" for a profession or discipline, although waivers were allowed on an emergency, temporary, or provisional basis.
IDEA 2004 includes a change to the definition of "assistive technology device. "The Congress added an exception to the existing definition as follows: "The term [assistive technology] does not include a medical device that is surgically implanted, or the replacement of such device." The same exact language was also added as an exception to the "related services" definition.
IDEA 2004 allows States to combine their Part C early intervention and Part B, Section 619 pre-school grants to offer a unified birth to six program to better serve families of children with special needs and to use Part B and Part C monies to do so.
IDEA 2004 allows local educational agencies (LEAs) to use up to 15 percent of its IDEA Part B funds for supportive services to help students in kindergarten through grade 12 not yet identified with disabilities, but who require additional academic and behavioral supports to succeed in a general education environment.
IDEA 2004 retained the definition of specific learning disability as included in previous versions of IDEA since 1975.
Paperwork has consistently emerged as a top concern for ASHA's school-based members. ASHA lobbied aggressively Congress to reduce the paperwork burden in the reauthorization of IDEA for related services providers including speech-language pathologists and audiologists. Two major changes related to paperwork requirements—paperwork reduction and modifications to IEPs—are included in the IDEA 2004 legislation.

Mayor's Youth Leadership Council
Encouraging and equipping the youth of Papillion to become civically involved, preparing them to become community leaders of tomorrow.
The Mayor's Youth Leadership Council demonstrates an effort by the mayor to civically engage and challenge Papillion's youngest citizens. PMYLC is a great opportunity to give youth a voice and a chance to identify and solve community issues they face, especially those decisions that directly affect young people.
Through civic engagement, PMYLC members gain work experience, acquire new skills, learn responsibility and accountability, develop a greater sense of confidence, empowerment, and membership, and forge meaningful connections with other youth and adults. Many adults are surprised that youth care about "adult" issues, not only playgrounds and skate parks. Issues such as transportation, environment, taxes, potholes, and sewers are also concerns to the Mayor's Youth Leadership Council.
Young people want and deserve a voice in Papillion. City and towns officials make decisions that affect youth on a daily basis, yet young people have no direct role in shaping or influencing local policies and programs. Even well-intentioned efforts to work on behalf of youth – by "protecting" them from perceived threats or by "rescuing" those who are already in jeopardy – can prevent us from recognizing the importance of working with youth to identify positive solutions and build stronger communities.
A unique aspect of PMYLC is that it involves the community's youngest citizens, who may not have been asked for their opinion or approached to participate in Papillion. Often these youth have the most direct knowledge and experience of the issues that face young people. Also, the traditional "non-joiners" might be the youth that do not go away to college and remain in the community as adults. A good mix of ALL of the above is extremely important to understanding and addressing the needs and issues of today's Papillion youth.

One last chance to make the top fifteen, one last chance to get a Verge point, once last change to be halfway respectable before packing it in for the season and admitting that all my best rides come in 3/4 races on MTB courses.
Oh, what's that? I got Verge points yesterday and there's another race next weekend? Well then, let's just go race bikes and have fun.
The NBX course was mostly the same as last year, lots of turns, two hard sand pits, and one fast road section. The one difference was that this year we staged at the bottom on the hill, not the top, so no crazy 30 mph downhill pack cornering was required. I like to think that I can handle myself pretty well in traffic for a MTB'er, but I sure didn't miss that part.
I lined up on the far right side in the third row, after getting stiffed on callups (come on man I had six Verge Points, surely that's top 15?!). The whistle blew, Brendan Cornett and Ryan Kelly let out some kind of crazy war cry, there was the sound of fifty cleats hitting fifty pedals, and we were off.
There was only one problem -- Brendan and Ryan finally pushed John Peterson over the edge, from the realm of "insanely fast" to just plain "insane."
Let me back it up... all the way to yesterday.
So yesterday I'm preriding with Ronnie down in the parking lot area, I'm not really paying attention because I think I've got a slow leak, and as I lazily swing around a 180 turn he T-bones me and I go sprawling onto the pavement, smashing my knees and elbows. What an asshole!
One problem. It wasn't a 180 degree turn, it was a 90 degree turn, so I rode straight into him. If I hadn't hit him I would've hit the tape 2 seconds later. Apparently, I'm the asshole.
In summary, you can get disoriented down in the parking lot, especially if it's your first lap of the course. Or if you're John Peterson, and you've just lost your f-ing mind.
Halfway down the start straightaway, Peterson is leading it out when he decides to take a left hand turn about 50 yards before the actual left hand turn, and for a split second we follow him...then the field erupts in a chorus of squealing brakes and screaming madmen. Only a few lucky souls are so far to the right that they don't have to lock 'em up. Four figures shoot out of the pack without touching their brakes -- Ryan Rumsey, Brendan Cornett, Josh Lipka... and me.
So I'd like to thank John Peterson for gifting me a 5 second head start on all but three guys. Maybe he was going for some kind of sandbagging degree of difficulty score.
The first lap was insane. I hit the sand in fourth and something goes wrong for Lipka on the remount... and now I'm in the 3rd...and I'm actually drafting Brendan Cornett.
I'm such a nobody that Richard Fries is temporarily left speechless as we come by the barriers, eventually recovering enough to call me "Rider 205." Apparently I'm not on his "Killer B's to Hype Up" cheat sheet.
The difficulty with the 3rd place start is that there's not many places to go but down. Even had I ridden flawlessly it would've been hard to stay on the podium -- and I was too shell shocked by my sudden fortune to ride flawlessly.
Mistake #1 -- not having the confidence to kill myself to stay on Brendan's wheel. I knew he was a better overall rider than me and I only made a token effort to stay in contact.
Mistake #2 -- Failing to jump on Josh Lipka's wheel after one lap. I knew he was coming and I knew he'd be ridiculously fast on the pavement. I looked back and rode easy, waiting for him, except I was going too slow and by the time the jam-related
power was coming by I needed a good 10 mph jump to get his draft. I missed it and he took 5 or 10 seconds in that section alone.
Mistake #3 -- Not providing Rudy with a red-carpeted tow to the front of the race. Apparently, that's how certain sandbagging dignitaries expect to be treated as they recover from a poor start. No, seriously. He (and Peterson) come up behind me as I'm tailgunning a group with Sean Mannion and Chris Bagg, and Awerbuch announces his presence by growling "If you don't hold that wheel I'll..." at me at we corner on to the pavement.
I'll let his words speak for themselves (if it's not the exact quote it's close, and yes, he did trail off instead of specifying the threat) but it's not like we know each other or something. Would you say that in a dead-serious tone to someone you didn't know in a bike race?
He and Peterson quickly blasted by on the road anyway, and I think Chris Bagg disappeared with them.
Much like the previous day, I had pretty good luck burying myself on the road to stay in the draft. Pete Smith gave me a good pull (after he realized how slowly I was going to pull) and I think Jeremy Dunn dragged me along for a bit as well. Somewhere along the line Isaac St Martin caught onto a group with me, Sean Mannion and Pete Smith and slowly worked his way through us and slightly off the front. This was yet another mistake on my part, recognizing that a marginally faster rider was passing through and letting him go, instead of trying to ditch the group and go with them.
I was still in "just happy to be riding top 10" mode. Except there was another problem -- I wasn't top 10 any more. A miserable sand pit ride where I stalled early and ran almost the entire thing left me in 11th, with the other three pulling away.
In the ensuing panic I dropped my chain on the rideup and the gap widened -- but at the top of the rideup, as I ran through I saw a hand holding out a dollar and a hand holding out a brownie. Wait a minute...I'm here to have fun.
I quit worrying about who else might be catching me and got back to railing corners. Smith uncharacteristically cracked and dropped back to me, and some hard running in the first sand pit got me all the way back to Sean's wheel. I was sitting comfortably behind him (well, as comfortable as one gets in the 45th minute of a cross race) planning my finish strategy when we got to sand pit #2 again -- and for the 5th time (in 6 tries) I botched it pretty badly.
He had three seconds at most, and we were entering the twistiest part of the course, I should have been able to fight back on. But he could see Isaac just ahead, plus Bagg, Lipka and Dunn just beyond. He wanted it BAD. He wanted it more than me.
He didn't get it, but I didn't get him.
Whatever. It was still an awesome race, Richard Fries had to actually learn my name (I heard him say it later!), Ryan Kelly screamed straight in my ear after he broke his bike, I got ten more Verge points (can I have an ebay auction yet?) and most importantly, I will always have the story of the Funniest. Start. Ever.

Testing Recipes – Linguine with Spinach, Olives and Goat Cheese
So if I'm going to be teaching cooking classes, I have to make sure I'm using top-notch recipes, right? And if I need to use top-notch recipes, then I have to make sure that these recipes are in fact top-notch, right? And if I'm going to be writing a cookbook, then I REALLY have to make sure these recipes are the top of the top-notch, right?
OK, time to start inventing in the kitchen!
Note: That's not me…
So how exactly do I test all these recipes to make sure they're really that good?… Well, the answer may surprise you.
As far as using recipes in classes are concerned, many times those are recipes that I have either made once, or have just come up with. Once you're able to write recipes from scratch, you have a good mind set of what works and what doesn't. So writing a recipe in my style using the ingredients and techniques that I want to highlight in my class really isn't that hard. And if I have any doubts as to measurement ratios or cooking times/temperatures, I usually consult one of my many cookbooks I have laying around just to make sure I'm on target.
Now I'm not saying that the recipes are perfect every time, but they are always pretty darn good, and definitely of the quality necessary for one of my classes. If my students are going to shell out good money for a class, they're going to get good recipes. Simple as that.
The word you're looking for is "Yum".
Case in point, I recently taught a class on game meats at Open Kitchen called, "It's How you Play the Game." (Cute, huh?…) Anyway, the recipes for this class were all ones I made up from my past cooking experiences. None of the recipes had ever been "tested" per se, but they were all based on things I had cooked many times before. The menu was:
- Venison Loin Steaks with Cranberry-Rosemary Reduction
- Roasted Pheasant Stuffed with Apple Onion and Thyme
- Braised Rabbit Ragu on Papparadelle
Yes, they were every bit as good as they sound. The results were really quite great, and when the class was done, there were only a few minor modifications to the recipes that I thought needed to happen. (And of course I shared those changes with my students as well.) Simply put, one run through the menu, and I have three "tried and true" recipes ready to go!
But that's not all. See, since I'm writing a cookbook as well, I want to make sure these recipes are not only great, but that students who read the recipes can make them as well based on how I've written them. And thus my students are sometimes testing my cookbook recipes as well. If I notice any directions that people can't seem to follow, then I know I need to fix the wording on that part of the recipe.
Of course this is not to say that I don't regularly test out recipes on my friends and family. I mean come on, if you're going to have a chef in your family, you'd better be getting some good food out of the deal.
But all this talk of trying out recipes has left me with another idea. I want to try out a recipe, and I'd love to see if you all would give it a shot, and see how it's working for me! So I'm including a recipe here, and I'd love for you to make it at home on your own time.
Make it, tell me how it worked out, anything you thought needed improvement or clarification, and then put your results in the comment section. You get a free recipe, I get free recipe testers! It's win-win, and I'd love to know both if this recipe works, and if you all are willing to do this for me!
|Linguine with Spinach, Olives and Goat Cheese
1 lb linguine
5 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic – minced
1 Tbsp capers – drained and rinsed
1 cup sliced black olives
½-1 tsp red pepper flakes
8 oz baby spinach leaves
3 oz crumbled goat cheese
As needed freshly grated Parmesan
-In large pot of boiling salted water, add spaghetti and begin cooking.
I call this recipe "Pasta alla Swan" as my girlfriend, Susan (whose nickname is "Swan"), was the inspiration behind it. As a result, I think I look with eyes that are too romantically clouded when trying to think rationally about this recipe. So give it a shot people! Please make it, and of course, tell me all about it.
How many times do you get to be a contributing editor to a cookbook anyway?…

Would love to help out any way I can, especially on restricted diet angle (gluten free, vegan, etc etc etc).
I'd vote for a better pic of you too – a facemask doesn't do you justice… 😉
Made the recipe last night. It was great!
I modified it a little: left out the capers (not one of our favorites). After adding the pasta and tossing…it was a little dry. I added some of the pasta water that I had reserved (kept it from turning too much like wallpaper paste). Gotta be honest: may not have had enough olive oil. I was eyeballing the ingredients. The goat cheese and parmesan cheese blended well, leaving us with a wonderful lingering taste.
Thanks for sharing. Always looking for new recipes to try…keep 'em comin', and glad to see you back!
What do you have in store for us for the Holidays?
We are still planning to test this recipe for you! I promise. The holidays sort of got in the way, but we're looking forward to getting back in our kitchen and cooking again. Happy 2011!

CNN's Erickson appears on Fox's Hannity with WND's Corsi -- why?
Blog ››› ››› BRIAN FREDERICK
On Tuesday, Hannity's "Great American Panel" included CNN contributor Erick Erickson and WorldNetDaily.com senior writer and discredited birther Jerome Corsi. Erickson seemed right at home along Sean Hannity and Corsi, which makes it all the more curious why CNN would allow him to appear.
It was not Erickson's first appearance on Hannity since joining CNN and Hannity only mentioned Erickson's RedState.com credentials when introducing him.
Whether or not CNN was fully aware of (or cared about) Erickson's history of inflammatory rhetoric before hiring him as a contributor, it is now responsible for his rhetoric since he joined the network.
Since the network's March 16 announcement, Erickson has suggested he'll resort to violence against census workers and claimed that President Obama "really doesn't like the military" because he didn't lay a wreath at Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day.
Erickson has said he got a "nice deal" from CNN. So why is CNN still paying Erickson if they're going to let him go on Fox News (presumably) for free?

Responding to Jack London is Dead: Contemporary Euro-American Poetry of Hawai'i
In late 2012, TinFish press released Jack London Is Dead: Contemporary Euro-American Poetry of Hawai'i. On the Tinfish Editor's Blog, Susan Schultz responds to some early reactions and feedback on the anthology. The first exchange she writes about highlights some of the controversy and (productive) tension surrounding the collection:
"Are you still terrified, now that the book is out?" asked a Honolulu Weekly reporter.
No. If only for the wonderful poems and responses to the question, "what is it like to be a Euro-American writer in/from Hawai`i," the project was worth the early feeling of breaking a taboo.
In order to understand the context of why such an anthology would be taboo, it's helpful to know more about some of the questions that helped Schultz frame the collection in the first place:
What does it mean to be Caucasian, to be Hawaiian, in Hawai`i? The question presumes that "white writing" is dominant, that if a Hawaiian writer is not in touch with his culture, he will "write white." But this anthology is not about dominant white culture; instead, it's about a culture that is perpetually questioned, like all cultures in Hawai`i. It's not the culture presumed to exist on the mainland (which does not include Appalachia, certainly, or other regional white cultures), the culture that is seen to blot out other cultures. The writing in this anthology is not central, it's also the activity of "outsiders." As such, the book could have included other "outsiders," like African Americans who live and write in Hawai`i. It's about whiteness as an experience, not with race as essentialism. There's a sense in Hawai`i of "whiteness" as a monolith; this book attempts to break that model. The multitude of approaches to poetry (and fiction) found in the book obviate the notion of monolithic, monotone, mono-culture, or (tellingly) of white culture as no culture at all.
Of course, the subject of Euro-American writing in Hawai`i isn't a new one for Schultz. Interested readers can check out her contributions to Jacket2 as well as her posts and essays about Judy Rohrer's book on haoles; on"writing while white"; on Tony Quagliano's work; on Juliana Spahr's Hawai`i writing; and on Steve Shrader.

This is what I have learned so far from the barrage of television campaign ads:
1. We must re-elect Sen. Orrin Hatch. Seniority matters. It's good for Utah.
2. We must not re-elect Rep. Jim Matheson. In his case, seniority does not matter. It's not good for Utah.
3. Both major party candidates for the 4th Congressional District Republican Mia Love and Democrat Matheson are simultaneously the Second Coming and the worst thing since the dawn of creation. Either way, both are lying.
All this is confusing. I am researching alternative candidates. We need fresh faces in the U.S. House and Senate.
And that does not include old-school career politicians, like Hatch, nor handpicked, heavily financed candidates of national party committees. Anyone who can't see that Love is nothing more than a puppet for the Republican National Committee is delusional.
As a lifelong Democrat, I struggle with Matheson, but if we re-elect Hatch because seniority matters, then seniority matters regarding Matheson, too.

Notes: Mackowiak will keep battling
Notes: Mackowiak will keep battling
Mackowiak went into a batting funk when the Pirates journeyed to New York to face the Yankees June 14-16. The slump continued during a series in Boston against the Red Sox, but then Mackowiak showed signs of coming out of it. He snapped an 0-for-9 streak on Thursday with a double against the Phillies and went on to reach base three times in four plate appearances.
Mackowiak was hitless in five plate appearances against the Mets on Friday night, but reached base on a throwing error during the Pirates' ninth inning rally, as the Bucs went on to post a 6-5 win in 10 innings. After being inserted into the game late on Saturday night, he had a base hit in two plate appearances.
"It's been a rough ride here lately," Mackowiak explained. "No matter what you do, it seems like it's wrong -- you hit the ball hard and it's at them, or you strike out. It's a tough one to get out of, and it's a good thing that [Pirates manager] Lloyd [McClendon] has the confidence to keep putting me in there to keep trying."
Mackowiak isn't sure what happened, but he is working hard to get back in the groove.
"Baseball's a humbling game -- things change daily, [even] per at-bat," Mackowiak stated. "Sometimes, you go up there one at-bat, [and] you feel like you're the best and you can't miss a ball. The next time, you get up there, and you can't figure anything out. No matter how much you've hit, more or less -- I've tried doing everything over the last couple of weeks to try to get out of the slump, and I'm just going to keep battling."
Mackowiak has always been a streaky hitter. On June 11, he was batting .358, but since then, his average has fallen steadily. Entering Sunday's action, he was hitting .283.
McClendon hopes Mackowiak's bat will awaken soon.
"He hasn't been as streaky this year," McClendon offered. "He just hit a bad stretch where he was in a slump and faced some real good pitching, and it had an effect on him. I look for him to bounce back and pick it back up."
Rotation set: The Pirates have set their pitching rotation for after the All-Star break. They will start off with lefty Mark Redman on July 15 at Chicago, followed by right-hander Josh Fogg, southpaw Zach Duke and right-hander Kip Wells.
"I just wanted to make sure everybody was well rested coming off the break," McClendon explained. "We'll try to get everybody freshened up. My only concern was, if I brought Wells right back, he would not have any rest at all, and, traditionally, we like to get all our starters freshened up during the break. That's what it's for. So this just makes much more sense."
The Pirates have a home doubleheader against Houston right after the Chicago series, and McClendon indicated he is still leaning toward giving right-hander Ian Snell a spot start.
Anticipation: While most of the Pirates are looking forward to a few days off during the All-Star break, the Bucs' lone All-Star representative, outfielder Jason Bay, is looking forward to participating in the Midsummer Classic in Detroit.
"What I look forward to is walking in the locker room and just seeing all the jerseys and all the names there," Bay explained. "You know, you play [against] all these guys during the season, but you never really get to rub elbows with them on a baseball field, where you just say, 'How you doing?' with a little head nod and keep going. Now, you'll get a chance to talk to some guys in a less formal setting and just relax and have fun."
Bay will also represent his native Canada in the Home Run Derby.
"It's exciting, especially on a national scale," Bay said. "It's something I've never done before, and I don't know how many chances I'll get to ever do it again. I'm not really expecting to go out there and knock 25 or so out of the park, but I'm just going to go up there and pull every ball that I can and hopefully get a few out. I'm really looking forward to the game."

Just wanted to share that I had my BR w/ FNG on 7/22 and am feeling well! So far no serious issues besides constipation - that was the worse! It's because I'm taking iron supplements in addiition to Vicodin (recently found out i'm anemic) But today I just took 2 ES tylenol and left it at that. Ladies, avoid constipation at all costs!!! Fiber, flaxseed, colace, prune juice -whatever it takes! Most of my pain comes from my side incisions and one side is verrrry swollen from too much activity : ( - got some Bromelein from gnc and hoping that helps - I think just eating fresh pineapple is best so i'm going to buy some as well and take it easy for the next few days. Good luck with everyone's journey and recoveries!
Long Road to Recovery! - New York, NY
Side incision issues???
Hello all - has anyone had issues with side incisions healing properly? Mine seems to be infected imo b/c it's oozing green AND yellow discharge and still looks bloody/raw- sorry if gross. Also stinging alot and very swollen. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Hello all! So I finally had an official post op appt this fri and got my fng bolsters removed. My ps didnt think much of my oozing on my side incisions : / - he said it was normal and when he took the tape strips off it didnt't seem to be infected - just still very swollen and bursting at the seams (still have tightness from sutures that are still in). So I guess all is well. My boobs still seem small to me and I will be shopping very soon for shape wear for my new stomach : ( - ugh. It will prob be a very long time before I post more pics b/c my nipple graphs are just about to fall off, lol. *Sigh* I was really rooting for them to stay put! It won't be pretty I can already tell and I can't wait to see how it all heals, pigment wise. The skin underneath appears to be a glaring red - positively frightening, lol. I wish all of you ladies the best and speedy recoveries. Thanks for all the well wishes : )!

Young Money to Release 'The Rise of an Empire' Compilation Album
Young Money is back. The super collective, which includes Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj, among others, is releasing the compilation album, 'Young Money: The Rise of an Empire,' this year.
The first single, 'We Alright' featuring Lil Wayne, Birdman, and Euro, will impact radio today (Jan. 22). Euro is the group's newest signee and hails from Rhode Island — the news was announced in an official press release from the Young Money label.
The project will also feature Drake's 'Trophies,' which he recently performed on 'Saturday Night Live.'
"This release will showcase the platinum-selling artists you know and love, such as Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake and Tyga, as well as celebrate our up and coming artists who will surely become your new favorites. This album is an excellent family effort and will be alighting radio airwaves across the globe!" said Birdman.
"There's nothing like it when the whole family gets together in the studio. YMCMB is stronger than ever, and everybody was truly on fire. We're all blessed to be a part of this incredible Empire as it continues to thrive. I can't wait for what's next. Keep watching," Wayne added.
'Young Money: The Rise of an Empire' arrives March 11.

Transmission upshifts prematurely
I have an 86 E23 (735i) which had sat with very little use for ten years. The owner died, and her older son startred it and drove it once in a while) It's a one owner car with 73,000 miles. I was told BMW recalled the car to replace the transmission at 30,000 miles, so effectively the 4hp22 EH transmission only has 43,000 miles.
I changed all the fluids,valve adjustment, belts and hoses, fuel pumps, and cooling system. I drove it and noticed the tranny shifting early on the 1-2 shift. I had the TPS adjusted which stopped it for a while, and now its back.
This is what it does: While taking off from a stop, it will change from 1-2 prematurely. Rarely it will do this 2-3 gears. I have changed the fluid 3 times and dropped the pan and did the filter too. The pan was spotless, maybe a little material on the two magnets. I cleaned the 8 pin connector, as it was a LITTLE moist with fluid.
I drive it to the store, and it has perfect shifting. I drive it on the freeway, and its great, goes into overdrive on time, downshifts great, the Sport and economy switch works. WTF?!?!
Does it sound like I have a sticking valve in the valve body? I have heard that a sticky valve will cause these issues, but thought three fluid changed would remedy this.
I took the car back to the shop I use on certain repairs and told him it was shifting weird again. He kept the car 2 days, and never did it act up with him. It had solid, firm shifts with no premature shifts!! He said that if the TPS needed adjustment again we would know by erratic shifts and rough idle.
I had previously posted the trans was slipping in error. Its shifting early....
HELP I'm stumped!!

Ecological Predictors of Extinction Risk in the Flora of Lowland England, UK
- First Online:
- Received:
- Accepted:
DOI: 10.1007/s10531-005-4313-4
- Cite this article as:
- Walker, K.J. & Preston, C.D. Biodivers Conserv (2006) 15: 1913. doi:10.1007/s10531-005-4313-4
We used historical and contemporary records to determine the scale of plant extinction in Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire, and to assess whether extinct species share a range of ecological and phytogeographical traits. Since 1700 both counties have lost 94 species (11% of their native floras) with the rate of extinction increasing from 3.8 to 4.8 species per decade in the 19th century to 6–8 species per decade after 1950. The most important predictors of extinction risk were English range size and traits associated with habitat specialisation and competitive ability: poor competitors (i.e. short stress-tolerators) associated with open habitats with very low or high pH and soil moisture (e.g. lowland bogs, dwarf-shrub heath and acid and calcareous grassland) were much more likely to have become extinct in the study region than would have been expected by chance alone. Many of these species have very localised distributions and/or occur at the northern, southern or eastern edges of their range in southern England (i.e. Northern and Oceanic). In contrast, there was no clear or significant relationship between extinction and dispersal ability or reproductive mode. These findings, which parallel national trends, indicate that habitat loss and eutrophication have been the main causes of population extinction in lowland England over the last 300 years. However, more fine-scaled studies are required to assess whether 'low-level' stresses, such as habitat fragmentation, climate change and atmospheric pollution, are having additional impacts on populations already severely depleted by habitat loss, as well as to quantify changes in the abundance of more widespread species which are known to have declined over the same period.

A very solid site is seedboutique.com and seedbay.com which are both run by icmag.com.
Dr. Chronic is ok, they will often send you the wrong seeds because there site has a lot of out of stock listed.
Posted 29 November 2010 - 11:28 AM
Obviously, nearly everyone is smart enough to not try to buy out of stock items that are listed as NOT INSTOCK.
Sometimes they will choose some random stuff and just toss it in there instead of what you ordered, and they have bad customer service in some other ways. But, they are still more reputable than many others. They don't send real breeder packs either.

I second this! Never had a problem with any order from both companies. And Sannie's gear rocks!

Attitudes shipping is great, I've never got the guarantee before, or had my seeds shipped with a mug or shirt, I just have them sent in the original packs and they still get here safe every time, probably 15+ orders from them so far.
I've always had great results from attitude. As far as stealth shipping goes I feel that my t-shirts arrived quicker than my mugs. Maybe just flukes but I appreciate the t-shirts more personally.
I like attitude for the big selection, and single seed option, it's where I go if I'm looking for something specific.
But for just all around incredible med strains that you won't find anywhere else, sannie is the man, usually only about 40-50 a pack for quality others sell for $200
Last time I used Doc chronic my seeds were seized, I was never that impressed with his shipping.
Hemp depot has a nice selection of things others don't, but they are a bit spendy, and the whole process from start to seeds arriving is pretty long, but they are trust worthy IMO if you're not in a hurry.

Obviously I am a bit bias but do want all to find the gear they need

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/9/2007 (3573 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
1981 -- Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council established the first aboriginal child and family services agency in Manitoba through a special arrangement with the federal government.
1982 -- Tripartite Master Agreement signed in Manitoba laying the foundation to establish child welfare agencies for aboriginal families provincewide.
Associate Chief Judge Edwin Kimmelman commissioned to conduct an inquiry about the state of Manitoba's child welfare system, with a specific focus on aboriginal kids being adopted by or placed in foster care with non-aboriginal families.
Province bans practice of allowing native kids to be adopted by families outside of Manitoba, including in the United States.
1985 -- Kimmelman releases his final report, No Quiet Place. He called the CFS system "cultural genocide" and made more than four dozen recommendations including to establish an office of the child protector, and give control of child welfare for native kids off-reserve to native agencies.
Fall 1991 -- Aboriginal Justice Inquiry releases report including a series of recommendations for the child welfare system. Main thrust of recommendations was for province to establish a Métis CFS agency, and extend responsibility of aboriginal agencies on reserve to kids from those reserves living off-reserve.
January 1996 -- Nine-month-old Sophia Schmidt is killed by her stepmother, in whose care she'd been placed by Child and Family Services. Her death prompts an inquest that doesn't produce recommendations for more than seven years. In the meantime, province introduces computer system to help track kids as they move from one region to another.
February 1996 -- Nadine Beaulieu, 23 months, dies in Winnipegosis. She had been living in foster care on the Pine Creek Reserve. Her death was ruled a homicide -- the result of someone striking her in the stomach so hard it ruptured internal organs. She had at least 75 bruises all over her body, broken ribs and a broken pelvis and was severely dehydrated and malnourished. Her foster parents were initially charged with manslaughter but the case was thrown out of court because of police errors. An inquest is called into her case.
March 3, 1999 -- Judge John Guy releases inquest report into death of two-year-old Brian Thompson who died in foster care in 1994 of complications of the flu. Guy found little Brian was not properly monitored by social workers, and said workers carry too many case files.
November 1999 -- Province establishes Aboriginal Justice Inquiry -- Child Welfare Initiative implementation commission to begin handing over powers for child welfare to aboriginal administrations.
February and April 2000 -- Province signs agreements with Manitoba Métis Federation and Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs regarding new authority for child welfare.
June 2002 -- Province introduces legislation to create four new child welfare authorities: Southern First Nations, Northern First Nations, Métis and General.
November 2003 -- Child welfare act changes are proclaimed. Process of transferring cases to the new authorities begins.
Feb. 7, 2003 -- Judge Arnold Conner releases inquest report on Sophia Schmidt's death, recommending an immediate commission to investigate high workloads with a view to setting provincial standards.
March 12, 2004 -- Judge Roger Gregoire releases report from inquest into beating death of 23-month-old Nadine Beaulieu. Workload stress on social workers is cited as a major concern, as is the fact the foster parents she was placed with had no training, were not screened for criminal records and were not properly monitored by social workers. The foster parents had prior criminal records for assault and drunk driving.
The social worker in Nadine's case had 50 children in her caseload as well as 30 additional family files at the time of Nadine's death. She had no formal or university training to be a social worker.
Jan. 14, 2005 -- Heaven Traverse dies in foster care. More than a year later, her foster parents, Darlene Fay Sutherland and Douglas Calvin Sutherland are charged with assault in connection to her death.
June 11, 2005 -- Phoenix Victoria Sinclair dies and is buried on the Fisher River First Nation.
March 11, 2006 -- Phoenix's death is made public when her mother, Samantha Kematch, and stepfather, Karl McKay, are arrested and charged with first-degree murder. They are awaiting trial.
March 21, 2006 -- Province orders three reviews of the system as a result including an external review of the system as a whole, a review of the kids with active CFS files who had died in the last three years, and a review of Phoenix's case specifically. The reviews are also tasked with checking on the safety of children whose case files were closed or transferred during devolution.
April 3, 2006 -- Social workers are given 30 days to visit and report on the condition of every kid in their caseload, to ensure no other children are in Phoenix's situation. The move reverses an earlier decision by Family Services Minister Christine Melnick not to check on every kid in care.
August 2006 -- Venecia Shanelle Audy, 3, is killed in Bowsman. Her mother, Melissa Audy, is charged with second-degree murder. Like Phoenix, Venecia was in and out of foster care her entire life.
September 2006 -- Premier Gary Doer moves an embattled Christine Melnick out as minister of Child and Family Services and replaces her with Gord Mackintosh.
Oct. 11, 2006 -- Children's Advocate Billie Schibler and ombudsman Irene Hamilton release results of three reviews ordered by province, with 289 recommendations for improvement. Province promises a major overhaul and injects $42 million into the system for more social workers, better training, better computer tracking systems and a prevention-based model of care to get to families before their kids have to be taken away.
November 2006 -- Province says it is no longer acceptable for child protection agencies to house foster kids in hotels after it is reported in the Free Press that the use of hotels skyrocketed 245 per cent since 1998. Government sets deadline of July 31, 2007, for all kids to be out of hotels.
July 22, 2007 -- Gage Dakota Guimond is taken off life-support at Children's Hospital in Winnipeg. It is the day after his second birthday. Six weeks earlier he had been placed in the care of his paternal great-aunt, Shirley Guimond, who is now charged with manslaughter. He had been moved out of a stable foster home in Selkirk because child welfare authorities wanted him to be with an aboriginal family member. Questions are raised about family reunification being done at all costs to the child.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
There's still plenty of competition for titles and seeding. The Bruins have forced their way back into divisional contention. The Penguins and Capitals keep trading the title back and forth. Also, the Avalanche have recently dropped in favor of the Flames. Even Toronto's making a push for a spot. A grand total of five teams are not in the playoffs but at most one point away. With plenty of fight left in most every team, let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Tuesday, December 1 at 11:15pm (sans the late games):
The Sharks lead the West with 18 wins, while the Blue Jackets are barely back in the picture after a shootout loss in Chicago. An NHL-best 11 road wins will go a long way here for San Jose, as will their scant three home losses (two in overtime).
Chicago has an NHL-best 11 home wins, but Phoenix did win at home against the Blackhawks on November 5. If Phoenix picks off a game in Chicago, things could get interesting in a hurry. Though for Chicago it shouldn't be too much of a problem, if they can hold Phoenix off at home or win a road game of their own.
Nashville has been quite the force in recent weeks, while Calgary has won four straight to take the division from Colorado. Both teams have similar home/away match-up records, but Calgary gets the edge for goal differential (17 vs. -7). Whoever has the most momentum at the end of the season could very well come out on top.
Both teams are surprise entrants into the playoff race this year, but both of them have apparently cooled off from early season plateaus. With similar stats, this would certainly be a close series that is the most likely first round upset of the brackets.
The Capitals won three straight to squeak into the top seed by superior points percentage. Tampa has an NHL-most eight overtime losses, giving them the greatest propensity to lose close games. Their 3-0 home loss Monday to Colorado kills off a lot of their momentum, which also contributes to the Capitals' already high chances of walking away victorious.
Pittsburgh is making a serious case to repeat as champions, with an NHL-best 19 wins so far. The teams have split their two games in Ottawa, but Ottawa's weak road record is keeping them from rising up the rankings. With four games in Pittsburgh and a definite chance to win in Ottawa, the Penguins are in good shape to take the series.
Boston may be leading the season series 2-0, but their goalie situation has not been the most consistent, especially their tendency to allow goals very late in the 3rd Period. The Sabres leapfrogged Ottawa and Boston to take over the division with a 3-0 win in Toronto Monday. All signs point to an interesting series, that will come down to whether or not Boston can put up another Tuukka Rask-esque winning streak.
Both teams are hot; New Jersey's won three straight, while Atlanta's won four. New Jersey's superior road record should help supplement their home games in the series. With both teams having a high goal differential (Devils 18, Thrashers 16), this may come down to New Jersey's road record and whoever can keep their momentum going the longest. Or maybe the Thrashers can convince the Devils to treat Martin Brodeur like Tomas Vokoun.

Shiloh VFD Assists On S.Carolina Fire
The investigation is underway as to what started a fire in Oconee County, South Carolina that required assistance from Stephens County volunteer firefighters.
A passer-by apparently reported the fire to Oconee County authorities just after 5 a.m. today.
It occurred on Cleveland Pike Road, near the Georgia-South Carolina state line.
Shiloh Fire Department from Stephens County was called out to assist firefighters from Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department, as well as other Oconee County fire stations.
Officials in Oconee County said the fire heavily damaged the living quarters of an old farmhouse, but added nobody was injured as no one was home at the time.
Oconee County fire officials did say that an estimated 80 percent of the one-story structure was lost to the fire, as well as contents in the home.

Planning my lawn sprinkler system
I am going to install a lawn sprinkler. I have a 3/4" feed from the street with 3/4" new threaded ball valves on either side. Immediately downstream of the house-side shutoff, the pipe is dropped to 1/2" for the whole house. I have about 75-80 PSI on my current hose spigot.
My thoughts were to get a 1 x1x1/2 tee. Feed the tee with a 3/4" threaded x 1" sweat adapter. The half inch would feed the house, the other 1" would feed the sprinkler. This sound ok?
Once I branch off for my sprinklers, i plan to install, in this order:
meter...Tee (1" side)...shutoff valve...double-check valve...boiler drain...exit house....boiler drain#2....sprinkler manifold.
Any issues with this plan?
Also, is there any reason to continue with 3/4" pipe for a while before converting to 1/2" for the house water?
As for running with 3/4 for a ways...
here's the big question : How many bath is your house? Kitchen? Laundry? Utility? Any other fixtures tapped into the water system?
Have you been underneath to look at the incoming water line? Is it 'bushed back up' to a larger size under the house?
If you're going to have your yard dug up anyway, it may be worth your while to upsize the main feed up to the house or as near as you can get it. a 1/2" line doesn't do much in regards to GPM of water.
The incoming feed to the house, at least coming into the meter in the basement, is 3/4" It's dropped down to 1/2" right after the meter.
Oh I see. Meter in basement :D
We don't have basements here. Disregard on the digging a new service then. :D
When we plumb houses out here, we generally run 3/4" far enough so that at least the shower and toilet are pulling a dedicated 1/2" line off of the 3/4" line.
If you aren't noticing any issues with water flow rate when you're using multiple fixtures in your house at once, I'd leave it alone unless either a : You're bored and want to repipe the main feed under your house, or b : just feel like wasting some money or C : if the copper is really really old and needs replacing anyway.
How does the rest of my plan sound? Is it ok to go from the 3/4" feed, to a 1" tee, then back down to 1/2" for the house?
Is your 1" piping for the sprinkler system going to be maxed out? I'd be a little worried that when the sprinkler system is going and if it's utilizing that entire 1" line that the rest of the house will have little to no pressure.
The only thing that you could possibly do if the pressure isn't too terribly high is to tap in before the pressure regulator if you have one, so that your sprinkler is operating off of the high pressure, and still leaving (hopefully) plenty of water and pressure available for your house.
Hopefully someone else will verify my theory. :thumbup:
Well, I don't have a regulator. I have 80 psi coming into the house, but that's at the spigot which is on 1/2". I assume if i increase from 3/4" to 1" i will lose some pressure? How much? I'm not too worried about pressure loss when the system is runing. It'll be running on a timer early morning before people get up, and only for like 30 minutes 3 times a week.
Hard to say exactly how much... there may be someone around here who knows if and how you can calculate it. My knowledge is not that extensive at this point, sorry.
Well I already bought 100' of poly pipe for the yard...so I guess I'll find out :)
What type of copper is appropriate for this? L or M? I assume L?
1 Attachment(s)
Here's a sketch of what I plan to do...easier to see in graphical form...
Looks real simple as far as putting it together, but the issues I mentioned before still stand.
Which issue? Losing pressure in the house while the system is running is the only one you mentioned, right? If so - I'm not too concerned. Also, my yard isn't that big, so it won't be THAT much water being used for the sprinklers.
Thoughts on M or L pipe?
What you want to do is fine, you won't loose any pressure going with a larger pipe size.
Are you on a city sewer as well? If so, my only recommendation is to contact your town water/sewer department and see if they have any guidelines about irrigation systems. It might be good for you to put a sub-meter on the irrigation line (after the double check) so you don't get charged sewer fee's on the water your putting on the landscape since that water is not going down the drain.
I have looked at the town code for guidelines. The only thing i saw was what type of backflow device was allowed and which days I could water. It actually restricts automatic sprinling from 1:00AM -4:00 AM - that seems awfully early...I was planning on doing it around 5:00-5:30.
