After the Ashland meet, the next action for the men's and women's teams will be at Ohio State on January 11.

Your client broke a nail and has it repaired while on a cruise ship. Now back on land she wants that nail to look like the other ones. What's a tech to do?
Your client comes in for a set of liquid-and-powder enhancements before an upcoming cruise. She leaves your salon looking great, but while on the cruise she breaks one of her nails. She goes to the salon on-board the ship but the nail tech there applies product much thicker and in a different color than yours. Your client is OK for the rest of the cruise but when she comes back she asks you to make it look like her other nails again. What do you do?
We asked Bonnie Rios, an education ambassador for CND who works at Julie Johnson Salon in Riverside, Calif., to walk us through her technique of fixing a client's acrylic nails.
Before you begin any repair service it's important to look at what needs to be done so you can formulate a plan on fixing the problems. Here, we see a nail that has three key flaws to correct.
> The nail is much wider and more square than the others.
> It has a flat smile line and is much thicker through the apex.
> Let's not even discuss the difference in color.
The first thing I did was use a hand file to taper in the sidewalls and shape the free edge. Next, I focused on reducing the bulk throughout the body of the nail by using single-direction strokes going from the center of the nail to the outside edge. I continued using single direction strokes to thin out the free edge and used gentle, curved strokes around the cuticle line. As you can see in the photo, I reduced the bulk down almost to the natural nail. This step removed the flat smile line and different-colored product too.
Remember to prepare the nails for reapplication by performing a mini-manicure. This ensures the nail plate is clean and dry and ready for product adhesion. I used a medium-wet bead (per manufacturer's specifications), and applied my brush at an angle to create a deep smile line. I did the same with bead two to build up my apex for strength, and I also used a custom-blended color for zones two and three.
I take my time to sculpt with my brush to reduce filing time. When I finish filed here, I followed the same steps I used when I was reducing the product. I started with a 180-grit file and went finer as I brought the nails to a high shine.
As you can see, the nail matches its mates again. It is properly tapered with the free edge matching the smile line, and the custom-blended color matches perfectly so my client can leave happy.

IRS stats show more people are preparing their own returns, reports Tax Analysts ($link):
The IRS's latest data, released April 11, show electronic filing from paid tax professionals fell 0.3 percent from the same time last year. That follows a 1.8 percent drop in April 2013, and a 1.7 percent drop in April 2012. By contrast, the IRS said, self-prepared e-filing of returns rose 4.5 percent through April 11 compared with last year, 3.1 percent in April 2013, and 5 percent in April 2012.
It seems like an odd trend. It's not like the tax law is getting any easier. One possibility raised in the story is that it's those wacky youngsters:
Self-preparation may be a response to a younger generation's ease with computers and software, said [retired Enrolled Agent Sandra] Martin. "That's more of a permanent reason why people aren't using preparers," she said.
She also raises a much less logical possibility:
Martin said the IRS's inability to regulate return preparers makes matters worse. Taxpayers are not only uncertain about the qualifications of their preparers, she said; some are afraid, haunted by stories of fraudulent preparers ripping off return filers and deciding the do-it-yourself path may be safest.
I think the failed IRS preparer regulation power grab is a big part of the cause, but not for the reasons cited by Ms. Martin. As Dan Alban, slayer of the preparer regulations, testified before the U.S. Senate taxwriting committee:
In fact, IRS data released last summer shows a dramatic drop in the number of tax preparers in recent years — a sudden loss of more than 200,000 preparers from 2010 to 2012 — following the recent imposition of a series of burdensome IRS regulations on preparers (the e – file mandate and the Return Preparer Initiative, which included both the PTIN registration requirement and RTRP licensing)
If your preparer gets out of the business, maybe you will stop using a preparer. With fewer preparers, the law of supply and demand predicts that costs will rise. As costs rise, consumers seek substitutes. It's what I predicted back in 2010:
Rather than pay the increased costs, some taxpayers will stop getting help on their returns altogether and either self-prepare or drop out of the system. These dropouts certainly won't see improved service, though the regulators will never admit responsibility for that.
Supply and demand: it's not just a good idea, it's the law!
Lyman Stone, Joseph Henchman, Richard Borean, Top State Income Tax Rates in 2014 (Tax Policy Blog):
The colors on the map get darker as the rates get higher. You'll notice that Iowa's 8.98% top rate gives it quite the purple tan. It's misleading, in that the effective rate is closer to 6% taking deductiblility of federal taxes into account; that would give Iowa a more lovely lavender tint, like Missouri and Louisiana. Yet Iowa refuses to build the federal deductibility into lower rates. The Tax Update's Quick and Dirty Iowa Tax Reform Plan would address that.
Christopher Bergin, The IRS and the Tax System: Integrity and Fairness for Whom? (Tax Analysts Blog):
The IRS's mission statement couldn't be clearer:
Provide America's taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and enforce the law with integrity and fairness to all.
If some of the tax cops aren't playing by the rules – and getting bonuses for it – how does that provide us taxpayers "top quality service" and help us understand and meet our tax responsibilities? The two most important words in this mission statement are "integrity" and "fairness." The one thing largely missing from our tax code is fairness. And the one thing now beginning to disappear from the agency charged with administering that tax code is integrity.
Nah. Compliance is for the peons, not the overlords.
Howard Gleckman, Len Burman's Brief for a Health Care VAT:
Len, the director of Tax Policy Center (and, thus, my boss), argues that a dedicated—and fully transparent–health care VAT would increase public support for efforts to slow the growth of medical costs. That's because the VAT would rise, for all to see, with increases in government health spending.
I have another idea: let's sever the link between employment and healthcare, authorize interstate sales of high-deductible health insurance, and have people pay for routine care out-of-pocket. We don't have to resort to a VAT to keep prices down for, say, beer and groceries — or for non-covered health costs, like LASIX procedures. Removing the layers between consumer and payment just might work for other health costs too. Seeing increase in your spending from your own pocketbook is a lot better motivator to reduce costs than watching government budget numbers.
Gene Steurle, Dave Camp's Tax Reform Could Kill Community Foundations:
The proposal would effectively eliminate most donor advised funds (DAFs), the major source of revenues to community foundations, so they could no longer provide long-term support for local and regional charitable activities. Instead, those funds would need to pay out all their assets over a period of five years.
Iowa has a special tax credit for gifts to community foundations, which is often oversubscribed.

WASHINGTON (Dec. 14)
Sen. J. William Fulbright (Dem.,Ark.) chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, lashed out Friday against America's foreign aid program which, he charged, has become an "instrument for the perpetuation of the political status quo in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Sen. Fulbright's ire was directed specifically at a foreign aid authorization bill passed by the Senate which provides a $40 million development loan for Israel to finance a water desalination plant.
The Senator charged that friends of Israel were able to get more United States Government money for that country than U.S. Senators could obtain for projects in their home states. He claimed that certain foreign countries are treated with favoritism and asked the Senate to consider if it was "more important to have a desalting plant in the Middle East than in our own Southwest. Senator Fulbright also attacked appropriations for projects in Taiwan, South Korea, South Vietnam and other places.
The Senator, a leading opponent of America's involvement in the Vietnam war, suggested that the Nixon Administration is currently "in the throes" of a wide-ranging reappraisal of U.S. policy from Asia to the Mideast. His reference was apparently to the statement of U.S. Mideast policy by Secretary of State William P. Rogers here last Tuesday.
The Senate's foreign aid appropriations bill retained the $40 million authorization for Israel that was included in a bill passed last week by the House. The Senate version however authorizes a loan while the House bill makes an outright grant to Israel. The two versions must be worked out by a Senate-House conference. It is thought likely that the authorization will be retained in some form in the final bill. But the Administration may elect not to implement it. The White House is known to oppose spending U.S. funds for the desalination project.
The House appropriations committee however has already voted $20 million to begin implementing the five-year program. Feasibility studies made by the Johnson Administration indicated the advisability of a desalting development in Israel. The technology achieved would be the product of joint American-Israeli cooperation. The authorization bill also includes sums for various Israeli institutions including the Hebrew University-Hadassah Hospital and the Weizmann Institute of Science.

Two things:
First, you're not so vain, I am. This post is about me.
Second, I know I'm showing my age, but please tell me I'm not the only one who's going to be singing that song in my head all day!
I had to make this necklace. I didn't have a choice.
You see, I had those business cards and that one little corner of the card kept screaming at me to make a necklace out of it every time I looked at it. I know, kind of scary, huh?
I gave in and cut it out one day and mod-podged it in that little frame I found at Hobby Lobby.
Then added Dimensional Magic. I finally discovered the secret to no bubbles when you're using it, don't pick the tube up as you're applying it. Once you turn the bottle upside down and it starts coming out, keep the nozzle down until you have the thickness you want. I may have just jinxed myself, but it seems to work perfect every time.
I absolutely love it! Sometimes it pays to listen to those little voices in my head!

The leader of Leicester City Council, Roger Blackmore, has admitted there could be better options than to build the hostel on Conduit Street in the Highfields area.
It follows criticism from the area's Labour councillor, Patrick Kittrick, that residents of the shelter would be vulnerable to drug dealing and prostitution.
Mr Blackmore has agreed the site has drawbacks, and says the council is keeping its options open.
Counselling service
He said: "The most compelling argument against this is that the users of the centre might be at risk from crime in the area.
"We are a listening administration and if we seriously see a site which is better we will look at things again."
Plans for the £4m, 40-bed shelter near Leicester station are at an advanced stage.
They have replaced the controversial scheme originally intended for Pocklington's Walk in the city centre.
Mr Kittrick supports the idea of putting the hostel in the city centre.
The Conduit Street plans, which include a GP surgery and counselling service, are due to be considered for permission at the end of next month.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/12/2013 (1314 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
FORT WORTH, Texas -- The free agent will be another proven outfielder and the leadoff hitter.
The missing piece in the Texas Rangers' 2014 lineup is no longer missing, and the money general manager Jon Daniels seemed hesitant to commit to has been committed.
And any concerns that the Rangers wouldn't be contenders to win the American League West and perhaps more are no longer concerns.
The Rangers on Saturday reached agreement with free-agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo on a seven-year, $130-million deal that gives them an everyday left-fielder and a proven batter atop their lineup.
Daniels declined comment, and the Rangers did not announce a move that comes only days after Daniels' latest warning that the Rangers likely wouldn't be in on the last major pieces on the free-agent market.
But sources confirmed that Choo, a South Korean who spent last season with Cincinnati, is headed to Rangers Ballpark assuming he passes a physical and that Nelson Cruz, a fan favorite and another free-agent target, almost certainly won't return.
The Rangers also have enough left in the bank to add a right-handed-hitting bench piece and pitching depth. Their payroll before the Choo deal was estimated just north of $110 million and could be around $130 million by Opening Day.
An argument can be made that the Rangers needed a player such as Choo more than Cruz.
Centre-fielder Leonys Martin was projected as the leadoff man before Choo's acquisition, but batted only .238 in 31 games as the Rangers' leadoff man last season and doesn't have the plate discipline to be a productive leadoff man.
The Rangers don't have a hitter such as Choo, who posted a career-best .423 on-base percentage in his only season with the Reds. He took 113 walks and was hit a baseball-leading 26 times to help him reach base 300 times, which ranked third in the majors.
The left-handed hitter brings pop and speed, too, after hitting 21 homers, posting a .462 slugging percentage and stealing 20 bases in 2013.

text: BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Standard & Poor's move to lower the company's outlook on the long-term rating of the U.S. sovereign debt to negative may have caught investors by surprise, but Michael Pento, senior economist with Euro Pacific Capital, has been making this case for years."It's not a surprise to me," Pento says of Standard & Poor's revision. "It's clearly late. But at least S&P is now waking up to the fact that the American sovereign debt picture is unsustainable and eventually we have to default on our debt in some form."

WOW. This is my first semester writing for CollegeFashionista and I'm so excited! I'm currently studying Nursing with a minor in Spanish at a university in one of the most amazing cities in the world, San Francisco. Although it is only seven by seven miles big, there is so much vivacity and culture packed into the city, not to mention, a wide range of styles. The clash between Haight x Ashbury, the bourgeois tailored-suits of the Financial District mixed with the quaintness of the Marina District constantly gives me the opportunity to see so many different styles and fashion trends.
I grew up in Huntington Beach, of Orange County in Southern California…thus, my style is a little mix between beach boho, the streets of Los Angeles, and newly, the city of San Francisco. My personal style, at times, seems to be all over the place. It really just depends on my mood. However, every Fashionista should have the basics. I am firm believer in that less is more and there is nothing more stylish than the simple. I cannot emphasize how perfect are a pair of black denim jeans. I'm always obsessed with the classic gold watch and gold Ray-Ban aviators, and nothing is more classic than an LBD (which I have way too many of). However, my favorite trends right now are the bold lips, anything tight and mesh, camo, mint, taupe and leather pants.
Some of my style icons include Nicole Richie, Rihanna, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, other online fashion bloggers (Song of Style, Tuula Vintage, Haute Pursuit, Oracle Fox), and naturally, my mother, (her style is unbeatable). I draw inspiration from everywhere. I believe that style is a way of personal expression and should not have limits. Style should not be bound by labels or trends. In the words of Yves Saint Laurent, "Fashions fade, but Style is eternal."

Zac Efron Turns 20
Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday To You… you get the idea. Today is Zac Efron's 20th birthday, and perhaps the best present he could get is finding out that his girlfriend isn't getting dropped by Disney.
The High School Musical Heartthrob was spotted at the Aroma Café in Studio City hanging out. And his big smile may be the result of finding out that his baby girl Vanessa Hudgens is still on board for HSM 3.
Blasting OK! Magazine's reports that Disney dropped the nude pic-taking actress, Hudgens' rep told press, "Totally untrue. It is an old rumor. OK! magazine never bothered to fact check with me but they did call Disney who said it wasn't true, but yet OK! ran it anyway. Apparently OK! magazine was having a slow news day."
And a rep from Disney also confirmed that the rumors of Vanessa getting dumped from HSM 3 are indeed false. "We are still in negotiations with all of the 'High School Musical' stars," she said.

Enjoy the pictures of Zac out at Aroma Cafe yesterday (October 17), along with shots of Vanessa at a past photo shoot session.

Kourou, French Guiana (ESA) May 17, 2013
The first Arianespace Soyuz mission for O3b Networks has moved into its next phase of preparations at the Spaceport, as fueling is now underway with the global satellite services provider's spacecraft that will provide connectivity for emerging markets worldwide.
This upcoming medium-lift Soyuz launch - designated Flight VS05 in Arianespace's launcher family numbering system - will orbit four O3b Networks spacecraft during a June mission from French Guiana.
Fueling was initiated with FM4 (Flight Model 4) in the launch site's S5 payload preparation building, where the satellite was transferred after verification of its platform and payload during activity in the separate S1B clean room facility at the Spaceport.
O3b Networks' other three satellites will follow in the fueling process, enabling them to be integrated on a dispenser system that is to deploy the cluster of spacecraft during Arianespace's Soyuz flight.
Built by Thales Alenia Space, these spacecraft are to operate in Ka-band at a medium-orbit altitude of 8,063 km. - offering high-speed, low-cost, low-latency Internet and telecommunications services for O3b customers in emerging markets. The satellites have a trapezoidal-shaped main body that facilitates their integration on the Soyuz payload dispenser system.
In addition to the first batch of four O3b spacecraft for the upcoming Soyuz mission, another Arianespace flight is scheduled to orbit four more later this year, followed by an additional four in 2014.
The June mission will be Arianespace's fifth Soyuz liftoff from the Spaceport since this workhorse medium-lift vehicle was introduced at French Guiana in October 2011. Soyuz is part of the company's complete launcher family, which also includes the heavyweight Ariane 5 and light-lift Vega.

The 2.5 million digital documents, which have been described as one of the biggest leaks of financial information, have revealed the hidden dealings of more than 120,000 offshore companies and trusts and almost 130,000 individuals from 70 countries.
The Australian names include controversial Firepower founder Tim Johnston and at least one other person linked to another well-publicised financial scandal. Other Australians believed to be identified include well-known business people, bankers and a high-profile restaurateur.
The revelations come after a 15-month investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, a Washington-based non-profit organisation headed by former Canberra Times deputy editor and Walkley-award-winning Fairfax Media investigative journalist Gerard Ryle.
Former Firepower boss Mr Johnston, banned from running a company for 20 years over the $100 million investment scandal, was associated in the documents with ''a multitude of offshore entities'', Ryle said.
''Many also appear to be people who have a very low profile. But it is very difficult to work out whether any laws have been broken. There's nothing illegal per se about owning an entity in a tax haven.''
The analysis revealed that government officials and their families and associates in Russia, Canada, Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand and other countries had used covert companies and bank accounts.
The investigation had also exposed how super-wealthy individuals use complex offshore structures to own mansions, yachts, art and other assets, gaining tax advantages and anonymity. Ryle said that while many users of offshore accounts were engaged in legitimate transactions, the investigation had raised questions about the lack of transparency, lax law enforcement and illegal practices prevalent in the world of offshore tax havens.
''We already knew how secret and inaccessible the offshore industry is, but we were surprised by how vast and far-reaching it is. It draws its clients not only from the world's super-wealthy but also from everyday professionals from all around the world.''
The group's exploration of offshore accounts began when it obtained a hard drive packed with corporate data as a result of Ryle's investigation of Australia's Firepower scandal, a case involving fraud and offshore havens. The leaked data includes corporate files, emails, account ledgers and other records that show incorporation dates and links between individuals and companies.
French newspaper Le Monde and Britain's The Guardian have reported that the family of the president of Azerbaijan and French President Francois Hollande's one-time campaign treasurer Jean-Jacques Augier are among those exposed in the documents as holders ofoffshore accounts.
Ryle confirmed on Friday Australians had been identified alongside Russian corporate executives, Eastern European and Indonesian billionaires, Wall Street fraudsters, international arms dealers and the families and associates of long-time dictators.

Six heavily pregnant women meet every week in an antenatal group, but it will be a painful labour for each of them as secrets, lies, crime and tragedy threaten to ruin the miracle of childbirth.
Acclaimed writer Kay Mellor creates and directs this emotionally fraught six-part drama, for which she drew inspiration from her own experiences as a mother-of-two.
"Having babies is life-changing," says Kay, 63, who also penned TV hits The Syndicate and Fat Friends.
"It was both painful and cathartic for me to draw on my own past, but this project has been very satisfying."
Filmed in Leeds and featuring a terrific ensemble cast, the half-dozen expectant ladies form a close bond while attending regular Parentcraft classes with their partners.
The mums-in-waiting are beleaguered housewife Diane (Jill Halfpenny), midwife Vicky (Christine Bottomley), teaching assistant Kim (Katherine Parkinson), businesswoman Roanna (Hermione Norris), newlywed Jasmine (Taj Atwal) and shy schoolgirl Rosie (Hannah Midgley).
With their baby bumps bulging, all six should be focusing on the imminent arrival of their little bundles of joy.
But the ladies' due dates are soon overshadowed by the chaotic events in their personal lives.
Awkward teen Rosie, 15, is in denial about her pregnancy and hasn't revealed her delicate condition to anyone.
The young girl's shame closely mirrors Kay Mellor's own teenage pregnancy.
She was just 16 when she gave birth to Yvonne – who worked with her mum as a producer on In The Club.
"I hid my pregnancy until the five month mark, so in many ways the Rosie character is based on me," Kay admits.
"I felt that I'd let my mum down and was very fearful of people finding out."
Diane, meanwhile, is looking forward to welcoming the 'miracle child' doctors told her she would never conceive, but a scan reveals that she is going to get more than she bargained for.
On top of that, Diane's husband Rick is hiding a huge secret about the family's finances, which leads him to make a decision that will have devastating implications.
"I'm not sure how much bad news Diane can handle in one day," says Jill Halfpenny, 39, "and it gets worse for her as the series continues.
"She has to almost rebuild herself totally from rock bottom, but I love her fight and spirit."
Lesbian teacher Kim (Katherine Jenkinson) is preparing for her second child with partner Susie (Tara Fitzgerald), but their complex relationship with the baby's biological father Neil (Jonathan Kerrigan) looks set to cause heartache for the couple.
While the rest of the female cast used padding to fake their baby bumps, Katherine genuinely had a bun in the oven.
"I was so moved by this project, I got pregnant!" laughs Katherine, 37, who also starred in The Honourable Woman and The IT Crowd.
"I was going through the hardest stage when we started filming.
"I felt rough and got migraines, but everyone was so supportive.
"I find it mind-boggling that there haven't been more TV dramas made about childbirth.
"It's the ultimate creation and so important."
Although the cast is largely female dominated, the male characters are vital to the narrative drive of the emotive storylines.
Former Hollyoaks star Will Mellor excels as Diane's penniless husband.
"Rick felt like a real character to me," says Will, 38, a father of two himself.
"I grew up on a council estate and know people like this who have no money when they have kids.
"Everyone knows that you become a complete emotional wreck when you have your own. I cry most of the week now."
And Will's co-star Sacha Dhawan, who plays Jasmine's doting husband Dev, reckons men will love the series as much as women.
"I was so blown away by the characters, stories, twists and turns," says Sacha, who was recently in Line Of Duty.
"When I first heard about the series, I thought, 'Oh God, pregnant women – how boring!', but it's so moving.
"One minute viewers will be laughing and the next they'll be crying."
Creator Kay cheerfully admits she was totally exhausted after working round the clock to bring her pet project to the small screen.
And she believes that TV audiences will be relieved to watch a quality drama that doesn't feature murders, violence, cops or serial killers.
"I like to tell stories that are character driven and life-affirming," she concludes.
"Television doesn't always have to be so bleak.
"We're living though tough times, but the human spirit always manages to endure."

Record numbers of motorists are searching for car insurance online, but at the expense of looking for home and travel coverage. Of over 1.9 million searches made for insurance products online in January 2012, 62 per cent (1.2 million) were connected to car insurance, according to Greenlight Digital's Insurance Sector Report - Issue 11. Only 25 per cent were related to travel coverage and 13 per cent to home. Travel searches were down three per cent while the number of people seeking out home coverage was up two per cent. car insurance may dominate internet searches because it is illegal for motorists to not be covered. On the other hand people may be bypassing home and travel insurance because they cannot afford them. Evidence from unbiased.co.uk suggests that nearly three in ten Brits do not have home or contents insurance.However, with burglaries on the rise many more people may be looking to invest in coverage for their homes.

SPORTS >>Cabot facing biggest test
Leader sports editor
Cabots football team prevented a losing streak from begining last week, but just barely. The Panthers escaped last week with a one-point overtime win over Little Rock Catholic. Now they are preparing for a team that is absolutely rolling, or charging, as the case may be. North Little Rock High Schools Charging Wildcats come to Panther Stadium this Friday with plans on crashing homecoming at Cabot High.
The Wildcats are 4-1 and on a four-game winning streak. Their most recent win was a rout of Conway, a team that beat Cabot a week earlier. Cabot head coach Mike Malham is still confident. Lets see, Conway beat us by 16, they beat Conway 45-8, thats 37. 37+16: Give us 53 points and bet the house, Malham said. I think we can probably hold the ball long enough to keep em from scoring 50.
Malham, of course, was joking, but he knows his team will have to improve from the last two weeks in order to defeat one of the hottest teams in the state. Our offense has kind of sputtered the last couple of weeks, Malham said. The first three weeks we played a lot better, but the competition is getting tougher too. Were going to have to be patient, hope we can pound on them a little and try to find a way to make first downs. Itll be the biggest challenge weve faced.
North Little Rock lost to Texarkana in week one. The 17 points allowed in that game was the most all season. The Wildcats then defeated Fair despite 13 penalties and four turnovers. Since the game against Fair, NLR has dominated. Sylvan Hills, Russellville and Conway have all been readily dismantled.
The offensive struggled through the first two weeks while the defense was stout. Since then, the defense has remained stout while the offense has reeled off two huge games in a row. North Little Rock coach Bryan Hutson has been pleased with his teams progress.
Slowly but surely the offense is coming along, Huston said modestly. Since Texarkana weve scored 28, 28, 30 and 45, but our defense scored twice on Conway. Still, were starting to do some things on offense that you like to see. The Wildcats just pummeled a team that beat Cabot, but Hutson says his team isnt concerned about that. That doesnt mean anything to us, Hutson said. Conway is a good team and things just snowballed on them. The same thing happened to Cabot the week before. It was a seven-point game right before the half. Cabot gets a bad punt snap, and then they hit a long pass and its 23-7. Those things dont matter now. Its all about matchups.
Hutson just doesnt know how his team will match up with the Panthers. Its hard to say, Hutson said. They run an offense that you just dont see hardly ever. You know whats coming, you just have to stop it. Our defense has played really well so far. You just have to make sure of your assignments every play. Theyre passing more this year too and that adds some pressure to you. You have to take care of business and not forget stuff. Theyll lull to sleep and then hit one over the top on you.
Over the top is one of Malhams big concerns for his team as well. A pair of receivers have been a big factor for the Wildcats in the last two games. Theyve got some good athletes over there, Malham said. That Moncrief kid on the edge, and the Dunn kind that was here in the eighth grade. Theyve got a good quarterback, theres just a lot of weapons you have to be ready for.
Despite the passing threat, North Little Rock is a run-oriented team, and the fact that the running game has been improving the last few weeks gives Hutson and the Wildcats some confidence. Weve been able to move the ball on the ground well enough that teams are having to bring people in and leave us with isolated coverage outside. And weve been able to hit a few big plays the past few games, so thats good to see.
Malham believes his team matches up well in size with North Little Rock, but his team will be at a disadvantage at depth. North Little doesnt play a single starter on both sides of the ball. The recent heat wont help Cabot if it remains through the week. I sure hope it cools down because we played four or five both ways last week, Malham said. Were going to be worn out if we have to do that in this kind of heat.
More than their dangerous weapons on offense, and more than mother nature, Malham is worried about the Wildcats defense. It hasnt given up more than one touchdown in a game since week one.
That defense has been playing good, they havent been giving up much at all, Malham said. Were going to have to find a way to move the ball. Weve punted quite a few times the last couple of weeks and we hadnt punted much at all before that. Weve just got to move the ball and we sure cant put it on the ground. If we start turning it over its going to be a long night. If we can move the ball, hold onto it, limit their chances, I think we can hang with em and maybe pull the thing out in the fourth quarter.

Buckwheat-Potato Knishes with Caviar
Torrisi Italian Specialties chef-owners Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone have reimagined the knish, the classic Jewish snack, which is still sold on the Lower East Side. They wrap buckwheat dough around a filling of mashed potatoes and sautéed leek, deep-fry it and serve it as a sophisticated appetizer, topped with sour cream, dill and fish roe.
Slideshow: More Potatoes Recipes
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: Makes 8 knishes
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, warmed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 medium russet potato (1/2 pound), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
- 1 medium leek, white and tender green parts, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Sour cream, chopped dill, thinly sliced red onion and trout or paddlefish caviar, for garnish
How to make this recipe
Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, stir the yeast and 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar into the warm milk. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk the 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour with the buckwheat flour, salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir in the yeast mixture, beaten egg and melted butter and knead until a smooth dough forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 1/4 hours. Punch down the dough, cover and let rise again until doubled, about 1 1/4 hours longer.
Meanwhile, Prepare the Filling
In a medium saucepan, cover the potato chunks with water and bring to a boil. Add a large pinch of salt and cook over moderately high heat until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the potato and return the chunks to the pan, shaking over the heat to dry them out, about 10 seconds. Pass the warm potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl or mash them with a potato masher.
Meanwhile, Prepare the Filling
In a medium skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the leek and a pinch of salt and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Add the leek to the potatoes along with the cream cheese and heavy cream, stir well and season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, Prepare the Filling
Punch down the dough again. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and shape it into a rectangle. Roll the dough out into a 8-by-20-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into eight 4-by-5-inch rectangles. Set 1 rectangle with a long side toward you and spoon 1/4 cup of the potato filling on the top third; leave a 1/3-inch border on the top and sides. Bring the bottom of the dough up and over the filling, fold all the sides over themselves and press to seal. Repeat to form the remaining knishes. Brush the knishes with the beaten egg, coating the seams well. Place the knishes on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, Prepare the Filling
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil to 375°. Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet near the stove. Fry 2 knishes at a time, turning them a few times, until richly browned, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the knishes to the rack to drain. Keep the fried knishes hot in the oven.
Meanwhile, Prepare the Filling
Cut the knishes on the diagonal into 2 1/2-inch pieces. Top with sour cream, dill, red onion and caviar and serve right away.
Make Ahead
The knish filling can be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before proceeding.
Suggested Pairing
Indulgent fried dishes like these knishes call for a lively sparkling wine.

Last day of Sukkot
What Do People Do?
Some sources claim that Sukkot lasts for about seven days while others state that it is an eight-day festival. The seventh day of Sukkot is known as Hoshana Rabbah while the eighth day is known as Shmini Atzeret and the day after is called Simchat Torah.
Hoshana Rabbah is marked by a special service at the synagogue. During the service, the rolls of the Torah are taken out of their ark and worshippers make seven circuits while holding the "four species" (plants) and reciting Hoshanot (Psalm 118:25). The four species (four plants with symbolic meanings) are waved in proscribed directions after a blessing is recited during Sukkot, except on Shabbat (the Sabbath). People may do this at a synagogue, in the sukkah or at home. The beating of the aravah, a willow branch, is also performed.
Many Jewish families build a temporary structure known as the sukkah, usually in a garden or on a balcony, prior to the first day of Sukkot. Some people spend some or all of Sukkot in the sukkah and may even sleep in it, although this is less likely in cooler climates. Some people construct a sukkah each year, while others have a foldable one, which is stored carefully for future years.
Public Life
The last day of Sukkot is not a nationwide public holiday in countries such as Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom or the United States. However, many Jewish businesses, schools and organizations may be closed or offer a reduced level of service.
In the time of the Temple, many Jewish people made a pilgrimage (Hakhel) to the Temple in Jerusalem at Sukkot once every seven years. There they would listen to readings from the Torah by the king of Israel. This custom stopped after the destruction of the Temple in the year 70 CE, but has been revived in recent times. Hoshana Rabbah is known as the day of the final sealing of judgment, which began on Rosh Hashanah.
An important Sukkot symbol is the sukkah. This is a temporary structure with a roof made of sechach or s'chach, which is raw, unfinished plant material, such as palm branches, bamboo poles, reeds or even corn stalks. Most or all of its roof should be directly under the sky and the inside may be decorated with extracts from the Torah, real or imitation fruit and shiny decorations. Portable sukkahs are available for travelers.
The "four species" are also important symbols of Sukkot and represent the blessings of nature. These are lulav (a green, closed frond of a date palm tree), hadass (twigs and leaves from a myrtle tree), aravah (twigs and leaves from a willow tree) and etrog (a lemon-like fruit of the citron tree).
Quick FactsThe last day of Sukkot marks the end of the Sukkot festival, celebrated among Jewish communities worldwide.

It seemed to Duncombe that time stood still. Andrew's face, wholly disfigured by the hideous dark spectacles, unrecognizable, threatening, was within a few inches of his own. He felt the other's hot breath upon his cheek. For a moment there stole through his numbed senses the fear of more terrible things. And then the grip which held him relaxed. Andrew stood away gasping. The crisis was over.
"You lied to me, George. Why?"
Duncombe did not answer. He could not. It was as though his body had been emptied of all breath.
"You meant to keep the contents of that telegram a secret from me. Why? Was I right after all? Read me that telegram, George. Read it me truthfully."
"The telegram is from Spencer," Duncombe said. "He is coming here."
"Here? Is he giving up the search? Has he failed, then?"
"He does not say," Duncombe answered. "He says simply that he is coming here. He has wired for a motor to meet him at Lynn. He may be here to-night."
A discordant laugh broke from Pelham's lips.
"What about your Miss Fielding, now?" he exclaimed. "Why do you suppose that he is leaving Paris, and coming here? I was right. I knew that I was right."
Duncombe stood up. His expanse of shirt-front was crumpled and battered. His white tie was hanging down in ribbons.
"Listen, Andrew!" he exclaimed. "I am speaking of the girl by whose side I sat to-night at dinner, who calls herself Miss Fielding, who has--in plain words--denied that she knows anything of Phyllis Poynton. I want you to understand this. Whatever she may choose to call herself that shall be her name. I will not have her questioned or bullied or watched. If Spencer comes here to do either I have finished with him. I elect myself her protector. I will stand between her and all suspicion of evil things."
"She has found a champion indeed!" Pelham exclaimed fiercely. "With Miss Fielding I have nothing to do. Yet you had better understand this. If she be Phyllis Poynton she belongs to me, and not to you. She was mine before you heard her name. I have watched her grow up from a child, I taught her to ride and to shoot and to swim. I have watched her listening to the wind, bending over the flowers in her garden. I have walked with her over the moor when the twilight fell and the mists rose. We have seen the kindling of the stars, and we have seen the moon grow pale and the eastern sky ablaze. I have taught her where to look for the beautiful things of life. She has belonged to me in all ways, save one. I am a poor, helpless creature now, George, but, by the gods, I will let no one rob me of my one holy compensation. She is the girl I love; the better part of myself."
"Phyllis Poynton may be all these things to you," Duncombe answered. "I do not know her. I do not recognize her. Find her, if you can; make of her what you will. All that I ask of you is that you divest your mind of these senseless suspicions. Seek Phyllis Poynton where you will, but leave alone the woman whom I love. I will not have her troubled or annoyed by needless importunities. She says she is Miss Fielding. Then she is Miss Fielding. It is enough for me. It must be enough for you!"
"And what about Spencer?" Pelham asked grimly.
"Spencer in this matter is my servant," Duncombe answered. "If his search for Phyllis Poynton entails his annoying Miss Fielding, then he is dismissed. I will have no more to do with the business."
"I have heard of this man Spencer," Andrew answered. "If you think that he is the sort of creature whom you can order about like that, I fancy that you are mistaken. You may try to call him off, if you like, but you won't succeed. He is searching for Phyllis Poynton, and he is coming here. I believe that he will find her."
The windows were wide open, and both men suddenly turned round. There was no mistaking the sound which came to them from the road outside--the regular throb and beat of a perfectly balanced engine. Then they heard a man's voice, cool and precise.
"Here you are, then, and a sovereign for yourself. A capital little car this. Good night!"
The little iron gate opened and closed. A tall man in a loose travelling-coat, and carrying a small bag, entered. He saw Duncombe standing at the open window, and waved his hand. As he approached his boyish face lit up into a smile.
"What luck to find you up!" he exclaimed. "You got my telegram?"
"An hour ago," Duncombe answered. "This is my friend, Mr. Andrew Pelham. What will you have?"
"Whisky and soda, and a biscuit, please," was the prompt reply. "Haven't upset you, I hope, coming down from the clouds in this fashion?"
"Not in the least," Duncombe answered. "You've made us very curious, though."
"Dear me!" Spencer exclaimed, "what a pity! I came here to ask questions, not to answer them. You've set me a regular poser, Duncombe. By Jove! that's good whisky."
"Help yourself," Duncombe answered. "We won't bother you to-night. I'll show you a room as soon as you've had a cigarette. Fair crossing?"
"No idea," Spencer answered. "I slept all the way. Jolly place you've got here, Duncombe. Nice country, too."
"There is just one question," Pelham began.
"Sha'n't answer it--to-night," Spencer interrupted firmly. "I'm dead sleepy, and I couldn't guarantee to tell the truth. And when to-morrow comes--I'll be frank with you--I've very little to say. Pardon me, but where does Mr. Pelham come in in this matter?"
"Pelham," Duncombe said slowly, "was a neighbor of Miss Poynton's, in Devonshire. It was through him that I first went to Paris to search for her."
Spencer nodded.
"Glad to meet him, then," he remarked. "There are a few questions I shall be glad to ask him in the morning."
"There is one," Pelham said, "which you must answer now."
Spencer raised his eyebrows. He was standing with his back to them now, helping himself to sandwiches from a dish upon the sideboard.
"By Jove, your cook does understand these things," he remarked, with his mouth full. "No idea I was so hungry. What was that, Mr. Pelham? A question which must be answered now?"
"Yes. You telegraphed to Duncombe to know the names of Lord Runton's guests, and now you have come here yourself. Why?"
Spencer helped himself to another sandwich.
"I came here," he said, "because I didn't seem to be getting on in Paris. It struck me that the clue to Miss Poynton's disappearance might after all be on this side of the Channel."
Pelham guided himself by the table to the sideboard. He stood close to Spencer.
"Mr. Spencer," he said, "I am almost blind, and I cannot see your face, but I want you to tell me the truth. I expect it from you."
"My dear fellow," Spencer answered. "I'm awfully sorry for you, of course, but I really don't see why I should answer your questions at all, truthfully or untruthfully. I have been making a few inquiries for my friend Duncombe. At present I regret to say that I have been unsuccessful. In their present crude state I should prefer keeping my discoveries, such as they are, to myself."
Pelham struck the sideboard with his clenched fist so that all the glasses rattled upon the tray. His face was dark with passion.
"I will not be ignored in this matter," he declared. "Phyllis Poynton and her brother are nothing to Duncombe. He acted only for me. He cannot deny it. Ask him for yourself."
"I do not need to ask him," Spencer answered. "I am perfectly well aware of the circumstances of the case. All the same, I go about my business my own way. I am not ready to answer questions from you or anybody else."
"You shall tell me this at least," Pelham declared. "You shall tell me why you telegraphed here for the names of Lord Runton's house party."
"Simplest thing in the world," Spencer answered, relinquishing his attack upon the sandwiches, and lighting a cigarette. "I did it to oblige a friend who writes society notes for the 'New York Herald.'"
Duncombe gave vent to a little exclamation of triumph. Pelham for the moment was speechless.
"Awfully sorry if I misled you in any way," Spencer continued. "I never imagined your connecting my request with the disappearance of Phyllis Poynton. Why should I?"
"The fact is," Duncombe interposed, "there is a girl staying at Runton Place whose voice Pelham declares is exactly like Phyllis Poynton's, and whose general appearance, I will admit, is somewhat similar to the photograph I showed you. It is a coincidence, of course, but beyond that it is absurd to go. This young lady is a Miss Fielding. She is there with her father, and they are invited guests, with all the proper credentials."
Spencer nodded.
"I suppose it is because I am not a lady's man," he said carelessly, "but I must admit that all girls' voices sound pretty much alike to me."
"I wish to Heaven that I could see your face!" Pelham exclaimed, "I should know then whether you were telling me the truth."
"The weak point about my temporary profession is," Spencer remarked thoughtfully, "that it enables even strangers to insult one with impunity."
"If I have misjudged you," Pelham said with some dignity, "I am sorry. I am to understand, then, that you have no news whatever to give us about the disappearance of Phyllis Poynton and her brother?"
"Not a scrap!" Spencer answered.
"I will wish you both good night, then," Pelham said. "No, don't trouble, George. I can find my way quite well by myself."
He disappeared, and Duncombe drew a little sigh of relief.
"Excitable person, your friend!" Spencer remarked.
Duncombe nodded.
"Very! I am frightened to death that he will make an ass of himself before Miss Fielding. If he hears her speak he loses his head."
"Nice girl?" Spencer asked.
"What sort of a fellow's the father?"
"Very quiet. I've scarcely spoken to him. They're Americans. Friends of Lord Runton's brother, out in New York. Ever heard of them?"
"Yes. A few times."
"You seem interested."
"I am--very."
Duncombe turned suddenly white.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
Spencer held his cigarette between his fingers and looked at it thoughtfully.
"Mr. Fielding, of New York," he said, "sailed for America from Havre last Saturday. His daughter has gone to Russia with a party of friends."
Duncombe sprang from his seat. His cigarette slipped from his fingers and fell unheeded upon the carpet.
"Then who--who are these people?" he exclaimed.
Spencer shrugged his shoulders.
"I thought it worth while," he said, "to come over and find out."
Sorry, no summary available yet.

Pick the right bulb
Selecting a tradition incandescent bulb is pretty easy -- you just decide whether you want a 60-watt bulb, 75-watt bulb or something brighter or dimmer. LEDs are a lot more complicated and require looking at three ratings: "lumens," "color temperature" and the "color rendering index." Lumens measure a bulb's brightness. Lehrman says you'll want an 800-lumens LED to replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb or an 1,100-lumens one if you're looking for the equivalent of a 75-watt traditional light. Color temperature refers to an LED's brightness and warmth and is expressed in "Kelvins" (the lower the rating, the greater a bulb's warmth). Lehrman suggests buying around a 2,700-Kelvin LED if you're looking for something that puts out light similar to what you get from a traditional 60-watt incandescent bulb. The CRI measures the accuracy of the colors you'll see when you use an LED for illumination. The best score is 100 -- the rating traditional incandescents carry. Most LEDs score in the mid-80s, while the top-of-the-line Philips L Prize bulb -- winner of a $10 million U.S. government prize for the best LED to replace a 60-watt traditional bulb -- garnered a 93. If you plan to use a bulb outdoors with a dimmer switch or in a fully enclosed space like a ceiling fixture, check the box to make sure an LED you're considering can handle such applications. Consider Consumer Reports' top picks
"Not all LED bulbs are great, so it's really important to stick to bulbs that are EnergyStar qualified or that have gone through third-party testing like ours," Lehrman says. Consumer Reports recently checked out 50 LEDs, CFLs and other high-efficiency bulbs for price, quality of output and other factors. Among lights designed to replace traditional 60-watt bulbs, the $26 EcoSmart A19 60W Bright White 400674 Dimmable LED took first place, scoring 99 out of a possible 100.

Nitrous Oxide Emission from a Spray Field Fertilized with Liquid Lagoonal Swine Effluent in the Southeastern United States
Stephen C. Whalen1, Rebecca L. Phillips2, and Eric N. Fischer3
Contemporary agriculture is characterized by the intensive production of livestock in confined facilities and land application of stored waste as an organic fertilizer. Emission of nitrous oxide (N2O) from receiving soils is an important, but poorly constrained term, in the atmospheric N2O budget. In particular, there are few data for N2O emissions from spray fields associated with industrial scale, swine-production facilities that have rapidly expanded in the southeastern United States. In an intensive, 24-day investigation over three spray cycles, we followed the time course for changes in N2O emission and soil physicochemical variables in an agricultural field irrigated with liquid lagoonal swine effluent. The total-N [535 milligrams per liter (mg/L-1)] of the liquid waste was almost entirely NH4+-N (>90%) and thus had a low mineralization potential. Soil profiles for nitrification and denitrification indicated that >90% of potential activity was localized in the surface 20 centimeters (cm). Application of this liquid fertilizer to warm (19 to 28oC) soils in a form that is both readily volatilized and immediately utilizeable by the endogenous N-cycling microbial community resulted in a sharp decline in soil NH4+-N and supported a rapid and short-lived (days) burst of nitrification, dentrification, and N2O emission. Fluxes of nitrous oxide as nitrogen (N2O-N) as high as 9,200 micrograms per gram dry weight of soil per hour (m g gdw-1 h-1) were observed shortly after fertilization, but emissions decreased to prefertilization levels within a few days. Poor correlations between N2O efflux and soil physicochemical variables (temperature, moisture, NO3--N, NH4+-N) and fertilizer-loading rate point to the complexity of interacting factors affecting N2O production and emission. Total fertilizer N applied and N2O-N emitted were 29.7 grams per square meter (g/m-2), and 395 milligrams per square meter (mg/m-2), respectively. The fractional loss of applied N to N2O (corrected for background emission) was 1.4%, in agreement with the mean of 1.25% reported for synthetic fertilizers. The direct effects of fertilizer application appear to be more immediate and short-lived for liquid swine waste than for manures and slurries that have a slower release of nitrogenous nutrients.

This excellent possibility may be used in your business gain. How formidable it truly is?
Should you are genuinely bent on meeting with good results online, and stave off the issues posed by your competition, you have got to act good and choose the appropriate internet designer, from among the numerous web advancement companies. Only this will likely develop your site that fulfills the targets of a profitable website.
Assortment requirements for just a finest world-wide-web designer:
There are many website designer expert services on the net. Therefore you must decide initial anything you are searching for. If you want a demographic-specific world wide web developer, start out your quest appropriately. One example is, in order for you to identify a web site developer in almost any section the planet, narrow down your search only to that country. (In this article is exciting data associated with web improvement. Singapore Govt features liberal Grants beneath Efficiency and Innovation Credit score Scheme – PIC – for small business neighborhood, to offset the costs associated with coming up with and advancement).
Though creating the try to find net designer solutions, the primary focal details needs to be –
– Regardless of whether they're cost-effective?
– Can they produce web-sites that jump out?
– Will their models carry out?
– Will the website be uncovered by readers?
– If the Internet site Style will reward anticipated effects?
– If the website enhancement solutions supplies thorough companies?

Your website is your online business address; a shop-front; it really is the area where you really need to consider back your Return on Financial investment (ROI) from.
The web designer you choose really should be ready to develop a website, which has all of the higher than traits; and but the costs billed must be comparably aggressive, otherwise low-cost. You can not compromise on high-quality for "cheaper" world-wide-web designer. So test and look at the expense the possible designer is charging, with other web site designer solutions and choose the best.

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
All work to be done by licensed professional. WE KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU HAVE THE INFORMATION YOU NEED, I come and go. This is step ONE.
Failure to ignite can be caused by any of the following or a combination of these.
- Gas pressure a bit too high or too low
- Pilot/ main burner flame not impinging on the flame sensor rod directly enough.
- Lose wire connections in the control circuit
With a new boiler, and new parts, it is most likely that the gas pressure too high causing the burner flame to lift off of the burner head at times...when that happens the flame sensor will not be able to its job of leaking electrical current back through the flame to ground...and will shut the gas valve off and lock the system out.
OR... the gas pressure is set a bit too low, and the burner flame is not impinging reliably on the flame sensor rod..so it fails to detect the flame occasionally and shuts the gas valve down.
but since this was already apparently known and these pressures adjusted so frequently and you still have the problem... we must look at the electrical issues.
This could be a control card but thats not a common control card failure mode. stray electrical currents in the house neutral or ground wiring can cause such anomalies by interfering with the systems electronics.
Intermittent problems like this can be exceedingly hard to detect.
Sometimes all that can be done is to wait until it gets worse, and the problem more obvious or something fails entirely... then the fault is detectable.
Sometimes bending the flame detector rod a bit so it is more directly in the burner flame will solve the problem.
This unit attempts to refire 3 times before it gives the error code. However, if I simply toggle the power it will start right up. I've done this immediately after an A6 code. Any ideas why it would start then but not automatically?
Hello again
The three attempts to fire before lock out is built into the controls.
when you toggle it on and off you are simply rebooting the controls before they have a chance to try the ignition three times and lock out
You might ask why it starts right up after you toggle it? Good question
I meant I toggled the power after the three attempts - then it started up.
toggling it resets the controls
why it then starts on the first try is a good question.
So you think it's a control issue?
it gets into the vagaries of the electronics
it is an electronics controls issue
but since the flame is part of of the electronics circuit itself, its also a flame issue
Some more info: it typically fails when calling for domestic HW. IS that a clue?
it could be that toggling it, allows the control card to shut down long enough to bleed electrons off of its micro circuits so they behave differently when the card is powered back up again
its something along those lines
if it fails when calling of DHW do you have to toggle it to get it to fire.
OK, thanks. I think you're right in that I'll have to wait until it gets worse before it gets better.
Same as I mentioned. It tries 3 times, gives an A6, then I toggle the power and it starts.
The time to press this issue is while its still in warranty, Now is the time to demand a fix, or something like a five year parts and labor extended warranty
Roger that.

A common method for increasing the usability and uplifting the security of pseudorandom function families (PRFs) is to ``hash\" the inputs into a smaller domain before applying the PRF. This approach, known as ``Levin\'s trick\", is used to achieve ``PRF domain extension\" (using a short, e.g., fixed, input length PRF to get a variable-length PRF), and more recently to transform non-adaptive PRFs to adaptive ones. Such reductions, however, are vulnerable to a ``birthday attack\": after $\\sqrt{|\\mathcal U|}$ queries to the resulting PRF, where $\\mathcal U$ being the hash function range, a collision (i.e., two distinct inputs have the same hash value) happens with high probability. As a consequence, the resulting PRF is insecure against an attacker making this number of queries.
In this work we show how to go beyond the birthday attack barrier, by replacing the above simple hashing approach with a variant of cuckoo hashing --- a hashing paradigm typically used for resolving hash collisions in a table, by using two hash functions and two tables, and cleverly assigning each element into one of the two tables. We use this approach to obtain: (i) A domain extension method that requires just two calls to the original PRF, can withstand as many queries as the original domain size and has a distinguishing probability that is exponentially small in the non cryptographic work. (ii) A security-preserving reduction from non-adaptive to adaptive PRFs.

Precipitation precautions
There's more to rain and snow than just water falling from the sky.
Hailstones are the result of an ice pellet or graupel being caught in a thunderstorm updraft and cycled through the cloud for several minutes, accreting multiple layers of ice in the process.
These are the conditions most likely to lead to measurable snowfall. Like liquid droplets, crystals can collide, resulting in multiplication as the crystals shatter (normally in cold air) or growth as they combine (common in warmer air).
Very large snowflakes occur in this manner. They have generally fallen through a region of above freezing air. Frequently, a snowflake will fall through a region occupied by freezing rain. In these situations, the liquid may accrete, or rime, onto the crystal-freezing on contact, producing what is commonly known as graupel.
However, if the crystal falls through a deep enough superfreezing layer in the lower atmosphere, it will melt partially or entirely-and, depending on the temperature in the layer beneath that, may refreeze partially or entirely before reaching the surface.
If the crystal melts entirely, it will likely reach the surface as either rain or freezing rain. If it partially melts and then refreezes, ice pellets or sleet are normally the result. Often, snow grains or snow pellets fall from the sky.
These are forms of graupel and are generated in the same manner. Snow grains tend to fall from low stratus clouds as small ice crystals develop some rime accretion. The lack of sufficient vertical air currents permits them to fall at such small sizes.
Snow pellets, on the other hand, tend to be larger in size (up to about 5 mm diameter), and require thicker, moisture-laden cumulus clouds to form. The minor convection beneath these clouds allows the snow pellets to become larger than snow grains, but not quite as large as graupel before they precipitate.
A final type of frozen precipitation of which pilots should be aware is hail. This is normally the product of ice pellets or graupel that have been caught in the updraft of a cumulonimbus cloud. As the embryo travels upward through thousands of feet of supercooled rain droplets, it develops a mixed rime/glaze coat.
Subsequent cycling through warm and cold regions of the cloud deposits additional glaze coats, enlarging the stone. Eventually the stone becomes heavy enough to counter the updrafts, or more commonly, is ejected from the storm by either the updraft or a downdraft.
While pilots are aware of many of the generalizations about precipitation types and formation, it always helps to understand some of the details behind why we get the type of weather we must fly through.
It is that extra level of information that gives us a better insight into the atmosphere-insight that may allow us to make better decisions about the weather we face.
