Despite the title of this track and his forthcoming album, The-Dream has no love for pre-coital rituals (though he does for puns). This "get straight to it" mentality extends to his musical output as well. While Dream has a gift when it comes to writing huge pop jams for top 40 pleasers like Beyonce, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, and Justin FUCKING Bieber, he's created his own lane when it comes to his solo material, and feels no need to preface his album with a chart-ready single. Instead R&B's resident auteur jumps straight into his signature stacked vocals, and synth swells, promising a new effort that will fit nicely beside his acclaimed "Love" trilogy. No better way to ensure your artistic integrity than a side hustle that earns you Bieber-money.
Top Tracks Of The Week: April 8-14
The-Dream- IV Play
Pusha T- Numbers On The Boards
Kanye once defended the fragility of 808s with the claim that the "Say You Will" instrumental could be a Clipse beat. He likely used this example for a couple of reasons. 1- Hell Hath No Fury had dropped 2 years earlier, and Clipse was one of the primary acts associated with "pure hip hop", something Heartbreak was being accused of straying too far from, and 2- Yeezy seems to associate the duo's icy Neptunes production with distractingly loud clanks and beeps, because "Numbers On The Boards" and "Say You Will" share some noisy rhythmic flourishes.
Ye's view of Push representing, pure, lyric driven hip hop is something both him and the "Wrath Of Caine" emcee have been pushing since his G.O.O.D. signing. There's a good reason why Kanye gave him two 16s on "New God Flow", easily the most basic, but also one of the most engaging moments on Cruel Summer. It's important that a rapper like T, who excels on hookless, minimal tracks, bring all he can to his verses, as his performance will make or break these brightly spotlit songs. "Numbers On The Boards" sees him bringing the fury that the stripped down beat demands, maybe not quite on par with the '06 Pusha Ton, but really not much is.
Cassie- I Love It (feat. Fabolous)
Cassie can't sing. It's become quite clear from her disastrous live performances, and her 3-5 note range on record. Thankfully, you don't have to be able to sing to make a good song. Take it from Future, who has done his share of 2013 hooks with little to no technical singing ability, or Drake, who sings often, and reasonably well on record, but rarely breaks out a melody live-- he's pretty much the very first studio-singer. What these two lack in their live recreation of vocals, they make up for in songwriting. Cassie gains no points in that department, as she generally has little to no hand in the process, and I would even be hesitant to call almost any of the melodies on her new mixtape strong or even particularly memorable (which is not the fault of the songwriters, there's only so many things you can do with such a limited range). So why then does an artist who can't sing, write, or be written for, show up in the Top Tracks Of The Week you ask?
Well, everything around Cassie is meticulously placed to the point that her uninspired vocal delivery takes a backseat to the very impressive selection of production and features, not only on this song, but the entirety of the mixtape. In fact so much care has gone into the production end of the effort, that each song very elegantly seques into the next, in a way that I'm not sure has even been done on an R&B or hip hop project that houses tracks from a handful of different producers. So it seems as though building interesting songs around a rather banal artist like Cassie was a fairly conscious effort, and you can bet a lot Diddy Dirty Money went into it. But in the end, Cassie's vocals are not taking anything away from the songs, they just don't really offer very much. The production and features are top of the line, and this track is as good as any on the very cohesive tape.
Big K.R.I.T.- Only One (Feat. Smoke DZA & Wiz Khalifa)
KRIT's UGK worship is well documented, but his adoption of their ethos is just as prevalent as his homage to the classic Houston sound. Not every rapper is ready to part with an almost entirely self produced, 17 track mixtape for free download, especially with a large following already in tow. KRIT appears to be taking the Underground King approach to his music, focusing more on a respect and legacy than commercial success. Here the rapper hooks up with two collaborators he's been working with since his breakthrough tape, and proves that the sound he's been producing since that time is far from stale, mainly because of the level of care KRIT brings to each track.
Jay-Z- Open Letter
Jay-Z has reached a rare iconic status in rap where his work is often unquestioned. Jigga doesn't really say too much on this track, but his words hold more weight because he like, knows the President and stuff. It's always good to hear from Jay, but this track seems a little unnecessary. He dresses the song as if it's meant to be some sort of important statement, but we don't really gain anything from it. His lines aren't as provocative as he seems to think they are (politicians are liars!), though he does rap reasonably well, despite a couple corny lines, closing his final verse with "the new role model/ fuck this Zoolander shit."(get it? he's a model!). But at the end of the day, Jay is a charismatic dude, and even when he's a little below God-emcee status, he does pretty well for himself. Plus who else on this list gets a response from the White House when they drop a track?
Lil Wayne- I'm Good (Terrorists) (Feat. Meek Mill)
It's kind of a mystery why this track didn't make the final cut of I Am Not A Human Being II, as it would have easily been one of the better tracks on the lackluster effort. On first listen I was even fairly sure Wayne refrained from saying "pussy" for an entire track. On a quick scan of the lyrics, it's clear that he drops his favorite word 3 times, but not to the face-palm level you'll find it elsewhere on his latest effort. He even manages to be funny again, with a line or two recalling Wayne at his most spacey and bizarre ("Two Xanax, I'm fantasizing about fat bitches' panty sizes" comes to mind). It's still not "mixtape weezy", as the Cash Money camp declared days before the release on IANAHB2, but it's certainly a lot closer than much of the scattershot project came.
Miguel- How Many Drinks (Feat. Kendrick Lamar)
If you know what you're doing, you're already very familiar with this song and the rest of Miguel's excellent album Adorn. You're also likely well versed in the work of Kendrick Lamar. If all of this is true, you already know that K-Dot lends a great verse, to an already great song. If for some reason you haven't explored the catalogues of these two artists, this is a good place to start.

Jarnell Stokes is a 6-foot-8, 270 pound basketball player at the University of Tennessee. He was an All-SEC freshman last year. At only 18, there's a good chance Stokes still has some growing to. You know, maybe adding that freshman 45 we all get.
For his sake, here's hoping Jarnell keeps growing, because it looks like his little brother Isaiah is on his way to being the big man of the family.
Isaiah is in 8th grade and currently stands at 6-foot-7, 225 pounds. From the photo, you can see Isaiah has a slight height and weight advantage over other players in his football league.
This is photographic evidence supporting the existence of a real-life man-child. Half man, half boy, 100% a college athletics recruiter's dream, Isaiah Stokes will undoubtedly make some academic institution a lot of money in the very near future, playing a yet to be determined sport. The only thing that can be said with any certainty is that exactly zero dollars of the revenue generated off of Isaiah will go to Isaiah.

text: ISLAMABAD-Former President and co-chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Asif Zardari has strongly condemned the attack on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) 'Azadi march' convoy led by its chairman Imran Khan in Gujranwala today. PPP spokesperson Farhatullah Babar said that Asif Zardari has termed the Gujranwala occurrence as an unacceptable demonstration of intolerance towards political dissent. Asif Zardari also demanded inquiry, arrest of culprits and punishment according to law. Display of such intolerance will only add to existing tense political situation, he warned.

It's gory and grown-up but it wouldn't work played straight (goblins, after all, lack pathos), so instead it's dry and world-weary. There are execution moves and the first time Elara does one with her bow it prompts Caddoc to complain, in his Stath-like cockney, "Did you need to put it in his eye?"
"Ehh," sighs Elara. "It got the job done. I was just being creative." Elara seems to get the best lines. See also, "If I didn't know better, I'd say that giant eye is giving away our position."
A lot of the humour stems from the imprisoned townspeople you encounter. One comes running out of a door and yells, "Take cover! They're coming!" before catching a flaming arrow in the back. He spends the rest of the scene running around screaming and burning while you mull over which shield to pick up.
Prisoners are a bit like loot in some cases - you can save them if you're observant and apparently this will have implications later in the game. At one stage in the demo Elara saves a man hanging by his wrists. He thanks her and complains that it's all so horrible, etc., at which point a giant spider smashes through the wall and drags him away again. Kaufman says that the fun thing about prisoners is that they often run off ahead and trigger traps. Silly prisoners!
There are other secrets and puzzles to discover, some of which will be quite tricky to solve. We've only seen easy ones so far but they're framed nicely. A giant stone head with a fiery eye stands to one side in a room and addresses you: "Stand before me and fill me with the fire of your courage - to light the path ahead." So you shoot it in the other eye and it crumbles apart to let you through.

Elsewhere a skull on a fireplace drawls something about becoming whole again so you go off and find his bones, then light an adjacent fireplace with a flaming arrow to open another door.
Hunted also looks great, with inXile well in command of Unreal Engine 3. id Software-owning Bethesda will probably feel a little weird signing those royalty cheques for Epic, but it's in service to a good cause. Characters are beefy and convincing and the world is detailed and polished already. It's very comfortable with long sight lines and spectacular views, the camera shifting to stare down past Elara into a ravine as she sidles along a ledge, and framing a massive ogre as it prowls in the distance.
Findley and Kaufman won't say if you get to square off against the ogre but we do see one boss fight against a demonic, harpy-like creature with Doc Ock tentacles and fireballs. It takes a battle charge from Elara to bring Caddoc in close, where he mashes buttons to wrestle the thing's head long enough for Elara to line up an arrow to the exposed neck. The head comes off, fire erupts from the stump and its corpse explodes and vanishes.
Hunted: The Demon's Forge is looking violent, deceptively thoughtful and witty. The world may not need another cover shooter, and may not realise it wants more dungeon crawlers, but it's hard to argue with what we're seeing.
"I read somewhere recently that co-op is a fad," says Matt Findley with a look of puzzlement. "We haven't even begun to make co-op games." Well, this looks like decent preparation.
Hunted: The Demon's Forge is due out for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in early 2011.

Honoring a Commitment: Creating the Staten Island Zoo
The Staten Island Zoo first opened its doors in 1936 at its current location in Barret Park. The land for the zoo was willed to City of New York by an environmentally conscious woman, Mrs. Edward E. Hardin. The city's economic depression had little effect on the zoo's creation and it wasn't long before people began flocking to this exotic island retreat. Mrs. Edward E. Hardin's dream for a zoological park was quickly granted and her memory is still honored to this day thanks to the zoo's active outreach program. New and improved attractions also add to the zoo's appeal, providing car rental NYC customers with a fun way to learn about exotic animals. Exciting exhibits on display at the zoo right now include the Ralph J. Lamberti Tropical Forest, the internationally acclaimed Serpentarium and the N.Y. State Senator John J. Marchi Aquarium. You and your car rental NYC crew can also get lost in the wild inside the African Savannah at Twilight facility. From rattlesnakes and lizards to antelopes and baboons, the Staten Island Zoo provides car rental NYC customers with access to all their favorite animals.
Are We There Yet?

Kids can't help but have fun inside this multi-faceted facility! Special activities and planned petting areas allow kids to safely interact with the zoo's collection of animals, while friendly trainers provide young minds with plenty of captivating information. Kids can even get active during their time at the zoo thanks to the newly built outdoor Children's Center. Designed like a New England farm, the Children's Center features a pony ring, domesticated farm animals and a beautifully renovated duck pond. Kids can also choose to mark a milestone at the zoo thanks to special Birthday Party packages. Designed for kids four years and older, these fun parties feature animal demonstrations, crafts and a story. Kids can even opt to have pizza and cake with some of their favorite animals! Making your upcoming car rental NYC vacation fun for both you and the kids is easy thanks to the Staten Island Zoo, so don't forget to stop by for a fun-filled afternoon!
Two Ways to Staten Island Fun
There are currently two ways to access the Staten Island Zoo. These include:

Turn right again and continue to Clove Road. Free parking for the Zoo will appear on your right hand side. The Zoo's entrance will be straight ahead.
- The Staten Island Ferry: Once arriving on the Island turn right and proceed along Richmond terrace. Turn left onto Broadway. The Zoo's entrance will be straight ahead.
An afternoon of wild and crazy fun is waiting for you inside New York City's biggest little zoo, so what are you waiting for! Plan to visit the Staten Island Zoo today!

Dr. Hirsch W. Honor, an active Zionist and Jewish Communal worker, died Wednesday, April 23, at his home. He was for many years the president of the Harlem Zionist District No. 8, and served for 20 years as house physician of the Home for the Aged, entitled, Home of the Daughters of Israel of Harlem. In all these years he offered his services gratis.
Dr. Honor was born in Volynia, in 1861, and was graduated from the Gymnasium at Libau and the University of Charkov in 1889, He served during several cholera and typhoid epidemics in Russia. He came to this country in 1901 and in two months' time mastered the language sufficiently to pass the medical State Board examinations. He received a thorough Jewish training and belonged to the Maskilim group in Russia.
He participated in the first Russian-Zionist Conference and was elected to the first Zionist Congress in Basle. In 1928 he realized his great dream to visit Palestine, where he spent a year. Although already incapacitated, he, nevertheless, insisted upon visiting every part of the country.

9 Tips For Selling Solar Power Systems
Early on the people who bought solar energy systems were either live-off-the-land environmentalists, survivalists, right wing extremists , or engineers & hobbyists. That has changed. Solar electricity systems are becoming quite mainstream, and therefore the approach for selling them has to change too.
In particular, the residential solar lease offers a whole new way to look at going solar, and therefore also presents a whole new way to sell solar. Solar no longer needs to be about amps and volts and which panels and BOS are the right for a particular home. Those are all still very relevant, but at the end of the day may not be something that a homeowner who is considering going solar needs to hear about. Here are what I believe to be the key steps for selling solar. Do you agree?
1. Understand why the homeowner wants to go solar. Is it for environmental reasons? Financial reasons? Prestige? Independence from the utility company? To go off grid? It is critical to understand what is motivating someone to go solar. That way you can speak to them in terms that will resonate with them. Asking questions about why they want to go solar is more important than telling them why they should go solar. I've read numerous books on sales over my sales career and every single one talks about the importance of asking good questions.
2. Remember that they came to you. These days people go solar because they want to and because they believe in it, not because they have to. They're not buying a used car, something they dread doing. They're going solar! They're taking a step that they're excited about. Part of selling solar is being about to stay out of your own way and let them build on their own excitement. At some point selling solar will require lots of outreach and outbound sales, but at this point I still hear that it's mostly inbound inquiries.
3. No matter what you're selling, listening is always more important than talking. Customers will tell you how to sell to them by the questions they ask and the statements they make. Listen, then address their questions, then listen some more.
4. Ask good questions. In my experience customers were always happier and more successful when they came to their own conclusion about how they wanted to proceed, rather than me telling them how to proceed. Asking good questions can help homeowners come to a desired conclusion faster. It also helps ensure that they make a decision that is right for them. After all, they are the ones who will have the panels on their home for the next 20+ years.
5. Unhappy customers are NOT worth it. If a customer is not the right fit and won't be successful with solar energy then do not sell it to them. An unhappy customer is way more trouble than they're worth.
6. Keep it simple. Selling a solar lease can be as simple as outlining what the monthly payment will be and how that it, when combined with the remaining electricity bill, will be less than why they currently pay for electricity. It really does not need to get much more complicated. A clear graph of what their payments would be if they stayed with their current utility compared with payments for a solar lease combined with a greatly reduced energy bill will go a long way in explaining their energy future with a lease.
7. Process, process, process! Do some detailed analysis on your recent sales. What was the process like? What worked? What didn't? How could you reduce the amount of time it too to close each deal? How could you have qualified them better before going on-site? What made for the happiest customers and most successful installations? The more you can figure out what your best, streamlined process is, the better you'll do in the future. Many sales books talk about how a good rep with a great process will outperform a great rep with no process or a bad process. Now just imagine how well you can do with a great rep and a great process!
8. There is a cost to sending out bad sales people even if they're commission only. Sure, you don't have the pay the rep if he can't close a deal, but there's a big opportunity cost if you could have sent out a better rep with a good process who could have closed a higher number of the deals. Therefore, you have to be good at hiring and even better at firing.
9. Training. Sales people should get continual, monthly, if not weekly training. You'll be amazed how fast the message being presented by reps who attended the same training diverges. Figure out what your best practices are, what your process should be, and what your unique messaging is, then practice, practice, practice.
Installers & sales people: I'd be interested in hearing what has and hasn't worked for you.
Customers & homeowners: I'd also like to hear what you did and did not like about your buying experience.

How to Make Window Cleaner like Windex
Lately we've been making and testing homemade products to help save our readers money. I have seen a Homemade Window Cleaner and after looking around found 2 different recipes (formulas) to try. I wanted to let you know how to make them and what I thought about them. Scroll down to the bottom of the post to get printable lists.
The first one is very simple. It only has a few ingredients and everything I already had in my home. Just put all the ingredients in an empty spray bottle and shake. I used a funnel to make it easier. When done it filled about 1/2 my bottle and matched the color of the dishsoap which happened to be blue.
I used this on windows inside and outside my home.
It worked EXACTLY like Windex.
Not a cheap store brand, but seriously EXACTLY like the name brand product Windex. There were absolutely NO streaks and it cleaned perfectly. I also used it on some pretty dirty mirrors and got the same result. It has a light sudsing when you spray, but does not hinder the way you use it. It also has a light vinegar scent which was not bothersome at all.
The second mix I made was also simple, but took a few more ingredients. Again I had all the ingredients in my home. I added the cornstarch after the warm water, but that was a mistake because cornstarch will make clumps. Since I did it this way I had to shake it harder to get rid of the clumps. I would recommend mixing the cornstarch with the cool vinegar ahead of time and then adding it to the warm water. You probably won't have the same issue I had. This made about 3/4 bottle and is a white color.
I used this on windows inside and outside my home.
It also worked EXACTLY like Windex.
Again, just like the name brand Windex. There were a couple of differences. When I cleaned the windows outside it worked better on built up grime. I think it's because the cornstarch gives it a scrubbing effect (texture.) The other thing I noticed was the smell. It smells like Vinegar and Alcohol more than my sinus' appreciated. When using it inside I had to back off a little after I sprayed because the smell was bothersome. Outside it made no difference. You do have to shake this up after it's been sitting for a while because the cornstarch begins to sit at the bottom. It's easy to shake it back up.
No matter what I will use both bottles of DIY Window Cleaner I made.
My thoughts:
The first recipe is better for indoor cleaning and the second recipe is better for outdoor grimy buildup cleaning. Both are simple to make and take ingredients I had in my home. After making this I doubt I will ever buy the store bought Window Cleaner again – unless it's a very cuckoo deal. This is absolutely cheaper and works the same. Share your experiences with these recipes if you try them out.

Hello everyone, I can´t really understand all the criticism against the bundle.
If you say bundles make your sales collapse, where´s the proof ? and who says that this concerns every author ?
I wasnt featured in the print designer bundle and still my sales didnt decline notable.
Envato is not a company created by two 12-year-olds… Therefore we should trust in their maketing strategies…
For example, envato bundles enjoy a very large audience. Isnt it obvious that the intention isnt only to promote a few files, but the whole marketplace ? I can´t imagine that a buyer of the bundle doesnt come back to check out other files from the marketplaces. So, with bundles envato also grows the amount of regular buyers, which is profitable for every author out there.
I can understand the criticism about the short length of time between the bundles. Anyway, because of the points i mentioned before, this is also not really something we authors should feel negative about. It´s more other graphics, photos, etc. selling sites that should complain about the bundles because they dont have any chance to compete with these prices..
Bundles ? I don't care! sales on 3dOcean have been low since it was founded (back in 2009). They promised to improve sales, but nothing special for 3dOcean. Damn it, Photodune and tuts+ are generating even more sales. So let them maybe do a 3dOcean bundle in order not to affect the authors of other marketplaces, and maybe give 3dOcean some more buyer attention.
My 2 cents.
Blinn said
While I am fortunate enough to work on files that don't take a lot of time to make, I have had my fair share of rejections. I've never dealt with themeforest or codecanyon, so I can only imagine the frustration authors feel when months of hard work gets rejected by a staff member. I'd be mad as well but I wouldn't post a thread to take it out on the staff, much less complain that Envato cares more about money than the authors. We all need money to live in today's world and Envato needs a lot more money than most people just to maintain the business. I believe companies should make a profit; it pays the bills and people get rewarded for pursuing that business. Where would Envato be if it didn't have enough money to continue funding itself? What would happen if it couldn't pay us authors anymore for the money we all make? That'd be a nightmare nobody wants to deal with.That said though, if I see a problem, I'll post about it, but my intention will be to help Envato become a better place, rather than perpetuate the apparent gloom and doom I see on many threads these days.
Well said!
I like bundles.
They're also a good time for referrals, so I am guessing that they drive/convert a decent amount of new buyers to the marketplaces too.

oh absolutely. bundles rock, especially when you're lucky enough to be included in one.
I have never noticed any difference in terms of sales during the bundle times. In other words if I didnt know the bundle week was on (because of the banner at the top and people talking about it in the forums) I wouldnt even know. Since the sales always fluctuate from month to month, its hard to measure this anyway. But maybe I am just statistical exclusion.
People buy stuff if they want it enough to pay the price. My job as an author is to make stuff that people want. Envato's job is to do all the other stuff. As long as someone takes care of most of the less-fun stuff that comes with making items for sale, I'm happy to split some of the money with Envato. Otherwise, we wouldn't have a place that meets the needs of little guys like me.
Bundles only rock, when you're lucky enough to be included in one.

You are on wrong thread! this thread just speaks about bundle and its trend/impacts
On topic, authors needs to consider the way bundles getting changed over the years. The latest bundle titled "Print Designer" is not exactly a print designer bundle. It had 3 ThemeForest items which is absolutely unnecessary. And the bundle period become 7 days instead of 4 which needs to be considered.
So with such a small gap between bundles and bundle period become extended into 7 days and also files included in the bundle going outside the context of bundle title – we can expect changing psychology among buyers which can result bad sales for qualified items. We already don't have sufficient search system to make buyers to reach right files; now Envato needs to take more care.
There is nothing against bundles as along as the bundles maintain context and enough care while preparing.
Well i agree with all my fellow authors, i don't have any problem with bundle until and unless it effects sales regularly. All author's should get equal chance.
According to blog post this bundle has seasonal items, so i don't think there will be much issue but this discussion should go on so that Envato understands author's view's on bundles.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
It depends on what the divorce decree states. If in the decree she is to assume control of te home and the note then you can requiresher to refinance or lower the price to make the house marketable. If the divorce decree states simply that the home is to be sold, then it must be sold at a reasonable market price. This can be established by appraisal, or perhaps by agreement between you and your ex. If your ex chooses not to lower the price, you can ask a court to force a sale of the property at a reasonable price.
can be detrimental if you are owed money as a result of the sale. The refinance might not produce enough cash to pay your share.
All comments are provided for informational purposes only. A local attorney should be contacted for specific legal advice.
Thank you for your response. A portion of your answer seems to have been cut off... "can be detrimental..." What was the beginning of the sentence please?
The decree doesn't say anything about the note/mortgage... just that she has the option to stay in the house until it is sold and pay for mortgage/utilities. No timeframe specified. Can I request through the court that it be refinanced in her name?
It should read a refinance instead of a sale can be detrimental ...
The way our decree is written you have no basis to force her to sell the property. She needs to continue paying the mortgage. If you want her out, or force her to refinance you wilneed to modify your decree. I have not seen many decrees that are not time bounded. Usually the decree provides this type of arrangement lasts until the last child turns 18.

Cross-country Skiing and Snowshoeing
There is a certain peace and tranquillity in the parks during the winter, and the view can be breathtaking. Cross-country skiing is a great way to enjoy a state park in winter, especially when there is lots of snow on the ground. In addition to the obvious fitness benefits, cross-country skiing is an excellent way to observe nature.
Cross-country skiing trails are located on hiking trails, equestrian trails, service roads, fields, frozen lakes, old railroad grades and lake shorelines. Some trails have track set. Visitors are asked to not hike or snowshoe over the set track.
Snowshoeing is available anywhere there is enough snow.
Find out where there is snow with our weekly Winter Report, updated from first snow until spring thaw.
Access for People with Disabilities
If you need an accommodation to participate in park activities due to a disability, please contact the park you plan to visit.

CHERRIES manager Eddie Howe has hinted at the possibility of loaning out goalkeeper Ryan 'Rocky' Allsop next season.
Allsop endured a trying 2013-14 campaign when he was replaced as first choice by Lee Camp and also laid low by a nasty bout of glandular fever.
It was a tough time for the amiable Midlander who kept five away clean sheets and starred during a club record run of eight successive wins at the end of Cherries' pro¬ motion season.
Signed by Howe on a free transfer from Leyton Orient in a January 2013, Allsop started
Cherries' first 12 games last season but did not feature again after being sent off at Leeds.
Understudy to Camp following his return from illness, Allsop will be one of four goalkeepers in
Howe's squad next season.
And with Darryl Flahavan and Benji Buchel both agreeing new one-year contracts, boss Howe says their respective decisions to stay may allow him to give Allsop valuable game time elsewhere.
Howe told the Daily Echo: "We have a really strong team of goalkeepers who will hopefully push
each other on to better displays.
"Lee played the majority of games but Ryan was always pushing him and Darryl helped with Ryan's development.
"At some stage, I might have to juggle the goalkeeping department to try to get Ryan games because, at his age, he needs to be playing regularly as well.
"Depending on how things go during pre-season, I would probably look to get Ryan out for his
own development."
Howe said he was delighted both Flahavan and Buchel had agreed to extend their stays, the
pair set to pen new contracts once their existing deals expire at the end of the month.
Flahavan has been described by Howe as "a great role model for any young goalkeeper", while
Liechtenstein international Buchel is seen as one for the future by the manager.
Howe said: "They bring totally different things. Benji had an excellent end to the season during a loan spell with Havant & Waterlooville. We believe he has the capabilities to be a very good
goalkeeper and just needs games and experience to show it.
"We are looking to move his career forward next season because we feel he has great potential.
"Darryl is an excellent professional and very good in the dressing room and on the training
"He is still a very good goalkeeper as he proved at Leeds last season where he was unfortunate to pick up an injury.
"He has the experience, professionalism and the right mentality to complement the other boys."

Review: Painting Churches
Keen Company adds new layers of dust to Tina Howe's artsy family drama.
Wed Mar 7 2012
Photograph: Carol Rosegg
Painting Churches
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>1/5
Time has not been kind to Gardner Church (Cunningham), an elderly Boston poet who is losing more of his faculties every day, or to his longtime wife, Fanny (Chalfant), whose role in his world is increasingly custodial. And time has been unkinder still to the play they are stuck in: Tina Howe's Painting Churches, a 1984 Pulitzer Prize finalist that has been revived to disenchanting effect by Carl Forsman for his Keen Company. From the groan of a title—the Churches' daughter, Mags (an inadequate Turnbull), is an artist who wants to paint their portraits—to the creak of the exposition and the continuous whine of Mags's dialogue, Howe's play is a compendium of unpleasant noises, amplified in a plodding production.
Howe treats the recognition that older people are human beings as if it were a breakthrough, and nearly every aspect of her depiction of Brahmin life seems phony. (A Beacon Hill townhouse has rarely looked shabbier than in Beowulf Boritt's gray-edged, wall-free set.) Through force of patrician dignity, Chalfant rescues a few moments of quiet for herself in the second act before the risible finale of cutesy hysteria. Mostly, though, the evening is one yawn after the last, alternating tiresome chatter about silverware and breeding with self-piteous family-therapy confrontations. I would say that Painting Churches is where clichs go to die, but that would suggest some drama at least. Painting Churches is where clichs go to rot.

Clurman Theatre. By Tina Howe. Dir. Carl Forsman. With Kathleen Chalfant, John Cunningham, Kate Turnbull. 2hrs. One intermission. See complete event information.

KIAMA Bowling Club club championship pairs competition was the highlight last week with both the ladies and men now well into the preliminary rounds of this hard fought and popular form of the game.
On Tuesday the ladies played their first round games in inclement weather and were nevertheless able to complete all matches with some close results.
R. Jones and B. Campbell def S. Read and H. Joske 19-14, V. Collins and J. McIntyre def J. Hair and G. Hodgson 19-12, G. O'Donnell and C. Dawson def C. O'Neil and A. Evans 17-14 and N. Marrow and M. Minet def E. Egan and B. Roser 21-13.
Thursday was a much better day for the ladies for the start of the second round and we saw some fine bowls played.
M. Walker and C. Rymer def G. Roy and J. Brownlie 19-14, V. Collins and J. McIntyre def R. Jones and B. Campbell 24-15 and V. Blakey and J. Clowes def G. O'Donnell and C. Dawson 21-18 after it was locked on 18-all going into the last end.
In the first round of the men's pairs matches, R. White and A. Rodgers def G. O'Neil and D. Barnes 26-5, J. Heidtmann and K. Pepper def G. Bartrim and T. Martin 22-18, A. Van Zanen and P. Wallace def J. Mears and R. Netherclift 25-16 and C. Baker and N. Tylee def W. Gorrisen and W. Richardson 31-9.
Social bowlers had good numbers during the week. The ladies on Tuesday saw S. Heidtmann, N. Brown and B. Harrison the winners, while on Wednesday the men had M. Mesa, B. Harris and W. Montifiore take out the winners' spoils.
The Thursday men once again used up all available green space and S. Wills and J. Heidtmann were the winning pair while on Saturday, all green space was again taken up with the men entertaining teams from Albion Park in a Pennant Trial and the social bowlers using the remaining space with N. Spackman, J, White, R. White and R. Parkinson finishing winners on the day.
The ladies are holding the annual Jarratt Cup on Monday, February 17, with 20 teams of fours from the Illawarra region competing. Kiama ladies are asked to bring cakes, slices and plants for the trading table.
Best wishes to "The Umpire", Mike Yalden, for a speedy recovery.
Till next time, good bowling,

Student senate promises changes this year
Student senate will never be thought of the same after this year. Student senate is aspiring to something great.
You may have noticed our new logo floating around campus. We didn't make that change because we had nothing else to do. The logo we had, the symbol of the London Underground, had been around for over 15 years and we believe students associate that logo with a certain image of senate.
So changing our logo wasn't an accident — it was absolutely deliberate. The new logo represents the radical change student senate is making. Let me explain.
This is our 95th year in existence. Originally, student senate was created as a disciplinary council — a sort of student police. This role has, of course, been modified in many ways.
Throughout time senate has served the needs of the student body. This took different forms. For instance, making chapel optional, paving the way for what is now the Service-Learning Center and starting weekend programming were all the results of student senate.
Now you know who we were. Let me tell you who we are.
We are a collaboration of passionate individuals. We are a group of people who believe that an organization like student senate has the ability to do something great for Calvin College. We believe that the student body deserves something bigger. We believe that there is more to be achieved.
So we're doing it. We're setting our goals high and trying to see how much good this organization can do in a year. And this isn't just about us, this isn't just about the students, this isn't even just about Calvin College, this is also about the community and about showing that we, the student body of Calvin College, can be something more in this world.
This is about taking the next step. We are doing things that will shape the culture of this college, that will shape the culture of Grand Rapids and that will ultimately shape cultures that extend far beyond this place.
We are engaging in conversations over policies that Calvin has had for years. We're talking about Calvin's marijuana policy and its tobacco policy. We're talking about the socio-economic structure of Calvin College and of our community — where it's weak and how it can improve.
We're taking on initiatives that matter. We're making this campus more handicap-accessible, opening the door to a group of people who may feel that, at Calvin, the door is closed. We're rethinking traditions that have made it impossible for students to have a common workspace on Sundays or late at night.
We're making sustainability at Calvin College more than an academic buzzword — we're making it a reality. We want to give you an actual student union. We're maintaining and improving things like the bike program and student governance. We want to expand student governance, ensuring that the voices of actual students are in the rooms where decisions are being made.
And we're listening. We've created focus groups that involve students from almost every part of Calvin's extremely diverse community. We're in the process of creating a statistically significant poll, giving us real information about what you want.
We are doing things that will shape the culture of this college, of Grand Rapids and of cultures beyond and student senate will never be thought of the same after this year.
We aren't joking. We want to shake it up and get things done.
I'm sure that to many, these claims seem too extraordinary, too lofty. I'm sure they seem unlikely and far-fetched. I'm sure that many will find them stupid. However, I must disagree.
These claims are attainable — they are within our grasp. These are the claims that student senate must make and these are the claims you must hold us to. We are setting the bar high because we know this is where it can be set.
I believe that we can be agents of change now. I want to see that potential become reality. I want to make real change in this world and I believe it be done right here, right now, by us.
This is an extraordinary year for Calvin and for student senate. However, without the student body — without your ideas, without your enthusiasm, without your feedback — student senate can do nothing.
Join us in creating something great at Calvin College.

Which one of these is quadratic? A) `y=x^2+3x` B) `f(x) = x (4-x)-3` C) `3x^2-2=5x`
- print Print
- list Cite
4 Answers
A quadratic equation in x is an equation that can be written in the general form:
where, a, b and c are real numbers with 'a' having a non-zero value.
A quadratic equation is also defined as a univariate polynomial equation of the second degree.
Options A) and B) contains equations that are not univariate, hence these two do not represent quadratic equations.
The equation in option C) is `3x^2-2=5x`
Which can be rewritten as:
This is definitely a quadratic equation, in x.
Thus, the correct answer is option C).
A quadratic is essentially ax^2+bx+c.
And, only choice C has those characteristics.
c. because it has an a,b and c

Email Manifesto
There are lots of email annoyances that make us groan:
- When "Reply All" is used instead of "Reply"
- When someone has a bad grammar or spelling error
- When someone replies to the wrong person (the "wrong Bob" problem)
- Weird formatting errors (like sudden font changes)
If we could just agree on a few things within organizations, email could be easier for everyone.
I was intrigued by Chris Anderson's Email Charter (from June 2011) but I didn't think it was quite right for my organization (a Community College) and a little too technical when dealing with students. So I wrote the following "Email Manifesto" that I think would improve dealing with the most time-sucking email problems at my college and presented it to the faculty yesterday. It consists of eight basic axioms:
1. An email should have one clear subject.
2. Emails should be simple to respond to and to dismiss when completed.
3. When an email "conversation" takes a U-turn into new territory, a new subject line is in order.
4. Need to arrange for an in-person meeting? Suggest several possible meeting times in the first email communication.
- If the person has a secretary, include them in the meeting request.
- If there are several people involved, use a Doodle.
5. If you want the recipient to take additional action outside their normal routine, make it as easy as possible for them to do so.
- Don't place the text of the message within an attached document if it can be pasted into the body of the email.
- Include an easy-to-share blurb and link to website for more information for events, in particular.
- Don't link to files on drives that are only available on-site.
6. If the message contains a lot of information, make required actions clear (bold them or use another color of text).
- Use phrasing like "What I need from you is …"
- Consider placing the actions at the beginning of the email, followed by the rationale.
7. There's nothing wrong with a short email message or response – don't take offense when you get one. The important thing is that the recipient took the time to read and respond. Lots of emails get answered from a very tiny keyboard or touch-keyboard.
8. Because it's difficult to read voice inflection, facial expressions, or body language from an email, consider using emoticons or expressions to convey these emotions.
- Perhaps this is a jestful comment: Are you kidding me? 😉
- Perhaps it makes you sad: Are you kidding me? 🙁
- Perhaps it makes you angry: Are you kidding me? <fuming>
- Perhaps you are sympathizing: Are you kidding me? <hug>
There are handouts (short and long) and a slide presentation.
Please feel free to share the Email Manifesto, modify it, and give the presentation – just include the author slide with my contact information. Just a note about the presentation, when you get to the slides about Axiom #8, have your audience read each statement out loud. This will quickly make the point about why we should use emoticons in email.

Conductors got their name by both guiding orchestras and wielding copper batons that deflect lightning away from the string section. Behold an electrifying performance with this GrouponLive deal to see part six of "The Mozart Journey," performed by St. Charles Singers with the Metropolis Chamber Orchestra at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church on Saturday, March 9, at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., at which time a free pre-concert lecture will be held. Choose between the following options:
- For $20, you get one general-admission ticket (up to a $40 value).
- For $39, you get two general-admission tickets (up to a $80 value).

"Mozart VI: Regal Mozart"
The sixth stop in a projected journey of 17 concerts, "Mozart VI: Regal Mozart" introduces listeners to works that the famed composer completed during his time in the court at Salzburg, Austria. The evening begins with the devotional Litanie Lauretanae, a rarely heard piece written in 1774, just after Mozart's arrival in those schnitzel-scented halls. A chorus of rich male voices emerges from a pillowy cloud of strings in the piece's opening Kyrie, before the women of the choir seize control with a sudden, sopranic sunburst. Next on the agenda is the Mass in C Major, also known as Coronation Mass, which earned its nickname in the early 19th century for abundantly apparent reasons: the composition sends forth ornately textured tones, is courtly in its precision and pomp, and was a favorite of Austria's imperial seat in Vienna. The concert closes with the oboes, horns, and strings of Cassation in B-Flat Major, a bright and chipper throwback to the prodigy's fruitful teen years, composed when the maestro was only 13 years old and just starting to get into Led Zeppelin.

"I think our world seeks greatness right now," says musical director Jeffrey Hunt, reflecting on his choral ensemble's ongoing exploration of Mozart's life and works. "I looked at this particular journey as a possibility of doing something great." With an impressive resumé, Hunt founded St. Charles Singers in 1984 and has commissioned a number of new works, produced six albums through record labels and independent means, and developed a habit of conducting his car radio. At majestic churches across Chicago and the northern suburbs, the choir's 32 voices and one multi-instrumentalist collaborate to celebrate works ancient and contemporary.

I am having a Vitalize peel and want to schedule a Yag gentle laser some time after. How long should I wait between treatments?
How Long After Having a Vitalize Peel Should You Wait Before Having a Yag Laser Treatment?
Doctor Answers 2
Yag laser after peel
Wait Time Between Vitalize Peel and Yag Laser Treatment
Downtime after a chemical peel varies depending on the patient's skin and the type of peel. I would recommend waiting to have the Yag treatment (or any laser treatment) until your skin appears to be back to baseline (pre-peel) conditions. If your skin is still peeling, crusted, raw or pink (or red) in any areas that were peeled, it is too soon to be having a laser treatment. Make sure to stay out of the sun and hydrate your skin with bland emollients for optimal recovery from the peel.

Just went with no power for about four days. J took pity on us and stayed, and kept two separate fires going the whole time so we wouldn't freeze.
Just got power back - SO grateful. Hot showers again!
So, there's this thing going around on FaceBook - in several different forms, that says that the GOP is trying to pass a bill that would deny federal financial aid with abortions, except in the cases of potentially fatal health complications and "forcible" rape.
Here's the thing - the sites that are bitching about the bill claim that this means the definition of rape is being narrowed, so that the government only pays for abortions in the cases of "forcible" rape - which would exclude most cases of date rape, statutory rape, or incest.
Directionless anger.
I have it.
In spades.
Ordinarily I try to do my homework, but this time I was too outraged to take the time. None of the sites linked the bill, and there were several of them.
When I saw the first one going around, I thought "...No...That can't be right. Someone must have misread."
When I saw the second one go around, I wondered.
The third time was the charm, and I went ahead and reposted it.
Naturally, it started an argument, and now people are bitching at me for hating Republicans and for not knowing what I'm talking about.
But here's the thing - if those sites are right, and the government is now refusing to pay for most abortions, including those for victims of date rape, statutory rape, and incest, guess what group is gonna get hit hardest?
Girls who can't vote.
Statistically speaking, most rape victims are under 18. Statutory rape means definitely under 18. Incest is generally the same.
So this bill would be denying financial aid for abortions to victims of rape who are often in school rather than working, and who cannot vote against it.
I'm not okay with abortion. I don't think it's right.
I think if you fuck without a condom, and you get pregnant, you should step up to the goddamn plate and take care of your child. You took a foolish risk, and you should bear the consequences with as much dignity as you can.
However, there are cases when abortions are necessary for the health of all involved. If the mother has health issues that would make it dangerous for her to carry a child, then she should not be forced to. And in cases of rape - ANY kind - I think it is beyond unreasonable to expect a girl to raise that child. Could you look into the eyes of your rapist in your child's face, and tell them you loved them? Could you mean it?
Or could you give them up for adoption, knowing that the system is flawed and the child will very likely face the same abuse and rape you had?
I try not to fly off the handle and go on enormous rants, but this was a majorly raw button for me, and I'd seen it enough times that I went ahead and assumed that yet again, rape victims were being fucked over by the government.
I guess all that anger I've been trying to figure out what to do with finally found an outlet.
You do have power to have your voice heard. Write to your Congressmen and your Senators, they will read it. They all have e-mail address listed on the government website (I'd send a hard copy letter also). There is a reason this government works, we can make our voices heard.
My personal opinion on our government is that the extremists and radicals on both sides are necessary (even if we don't agree with their opinion). They are the ones that are willing to bring issues to the forefront, which opens up debate. The opposing extremists counter the argument and eventually, everyone else negotiates a middle ground somewhere that most of us can live with. Then the cycle repeats itself.
I've calmed down somewhat since my last post.
I've also done some homework. My understanding of this bill is as follows:
The GOP wants to make it so that neither public nor private healthcare providers can use taxpayer money to fund abortions. There are, of course, exceptions: 1.) if the mother has health complications that mean carrying the child would kill her 2.) forcible rape.
Those last two words are my BIGGEST (not my only) problem with it. "Forcible rape" is not defined by the vast majority of the United States. Those states that do define it do NOT include statutory rape, date rape, or incest in those vague definitions.
My previous understanding has not changed: This STILL means that not only will women who do not want to care for a child or who cannot care for a child be unable to have an abortion (unless they can pay out of pocket - and these days who can?) it also means that a group of already victimized girls is going to be forced to bear children that are the result of rape. Most of these girls cannot safely go to a parent or guardian because that's who raped them, or they're ashamed, or scared, or maybe don't even know who the father was.
What this bill means to victims is that if a girl is raped and impregnated, she has to leave it to the judgment of the government to determine whether there was sufficient battering involved for it to be "forcible" rape.
This is a SUPER raw nerve for me because it's been a rough couple weeks, and February is always hard for me because that's when I was hurt. Hearing that the Republicans are (to quote an admittedly biased article) "waging war against women" breaks my heart.
I'll be writing everyone I can get an address for - but the very fact that this bill was proposed shakes my faith to the core.
I see women's rights shrinking every day because a bunch of rich white men who have never and will never suffer the pain of childbirth have decided it's "wrong" for a woman to decide she can't raise a child.
This bill denies women the right to decide what happens to their bodies and their futures. It condemns anyone without enough money to pay out of pocket to the pain of childbirth, and the loss of many, many choices. Don't get me wrong - I am not "okay" with abortion. As far as I'm concerned, it is killing a baby. Don't pussyfoot around it and try to define when it's a fetus versus when it's a human. Don't sugar coat it. Don't alleviate your guilt with euphemisms like "pro life" and "pro choice." Own it. Say it. "Abortion."
What pro-life means to me is "I'm against a woman killing her baby so she can go to college." What pro-choice means to me is "I'm okay with a mother killing her baby because she couldn't feed it anyway."
Abortion is never a good choice. It is never okay. It is always killing a baby. However, none of the other options are better or more "right". You can raise the child, knowing you'll resent it, and probably not be able to provide for the child the way he or she deserves. You can give the child up for adoption, and hope he or she isn't abused, molested, raped, or neglected, knowing all the while that the odds of the system are not in your kid's favour. Or you can take the life of an unborn child whose only wrong doing was that a sperm just happened to make it all the way to the finish line.
Still, I'm suddenly a lot more "pro-choice" than I used to be.

I am right there with ya Cricket.
I don't "believe" that abortion is a good thing.
But-I've had two.
Right, wrong or otherwise-at those two times, I believed that bringing the baby into the world would be selfish of me (I would have LOVED the child, but my feelings weren't the point)so I did not do it.
Neither was due to "not using protection" issues. In both cases it was outside things that would have made carrying the child to term dangerous either to the child AND to my other children.
My first girlfriend was sexually abused by her father, had an abortion.
I don't know of anyone whose had a gov't funded abortion, but either way-making that last designation about the TYPE of rape is very disturbing...
"Love As Thou Wilt"
--hugs to LR--
I just can't wrap my head around the idea of a bunch of rich white men telling poor women that they have no choice but to bear children that they cannot take care of for reasons of either emotional or physical health.
Having been hurt, and having been terrified that at fifteen, I would have to drop out of high school to raise the child of a rapist, I am NOT ok with the idea that such an already vulnerable group of women is being denied rescue.

I don't like that I identify with characters like Ophelia, and Anna Sergeyevna (If anyone's read "The Lady With the Dog")I shouldn't feel like that, but time and again, I find that I do.
Like Ophelia, I'm a little tired of being the one painted a sinner when I know full well I'm in good company. I'm a little tired of wondering how much of what I'm hearing is truth, and then being called a liar myself. I'm a little tired of being expected to be 100% honest when I know it'll hurt people's feelings while simultaneously being expected to hold together everyone's little lies and illusions.
Fuck this house of cards.
I'm not playing by someone else's arbitrary, deception-based rules. Maybe that makes me childish, but I feel like with the number of times I've endured jealous tantrums over nothing, I'm entitled to pitch a fucking fit myself.
After Karma and I broke it off so I could get my head straight, I feel like my sex life stopped being his business. When he challenged me, already angry and looking for a fight, demanding answers, I lied.
Yeah, I took the easy way out. Yeah, I did the wrong thing. I've owned up to it, admitted my wrongdoing, and apologized. I don't like lying. I wouldn't have done it if I thought my choice to fulfill my needs would be respected.
I've got too much on my plate to be much in the mood for compassion or guilt right now. I've seen too many people lie to my face and then turn around and preach at me to be particularly contrite. I'm done with double standards. Karma can step out on his wife with any young thing he finds at a club, but I can't (while single) explore a potential relationship without him talking shit about J in my ear the whole time? I don't want to make this into a huge thing of "he-said/she-said" but goddamn, it is hard not to feel like I'm getting fucked in the ass by rules that don't apply to everyone across the board.
I wonder if I'd still be dealing with this if everyone else's dirty laundry were out there on the line with mine? I'm trying *so* hard not to spill everyone's secrets just for spite and retribution.

Spite and retribution tend to bite us in our own ass.
BUT-I do understand quite well having the desire.
I've been there too.
It's always hard when people don't see eye to eye. It's harder yet when people have something very important to them, and it doesn't happen to be important to someone else. It's like trying to mix oil and water.
"Love As Thou Wilt"
Hold your head high. You don't owe anyone answers, or anything, especially to someone you broke up with. When someone confronts you in anger, sometimes lying is what you need to do to get away from that negative energy and preserve your well-being. Getting entangled in an angry argument sucks, so it's easy to understand wanting to avoid it and protect yourself, especially if you know continuing the conversation will be counter-productive and only add fuel to their anger. My ex's anger is so scary, I would do almost anything to not deal with it when he got that way. Everyone lies once in a while, and everyone lies to themselves all the time, no matter how much they say they lie an honest life.
The earth hasn't stopped turning. No need to let yourself get caught up in other people's dramas. Sometimes it's necessary to stop all contact indefinitely.
Focus on your life, school, getting to know yourself, and growing as an individual. I am always impressed by your maturity and insights. Don't take on his or their anger as your own. Go placidly amid the noise and haste.
The world opens up... when you do.

A Versatile Machine
Austrian-built Koller yarders are proving their flexibility in thinning and clearcutting operations south of the line.
The Tie Koller K501 Yarder is showing its diversity in the foothills of Mount Baker near Bellingham, Washington. Two separate logging companies are using 501s in the rough Pacific Northwest terrain - one for a thinning operation and the other for clearcutting.
Mike Archambault of A & R Cable Thinning is currently running a thinning operation on contract for Crown Pacific of Portland, Oregon. The area he is working in is just a 15- minute drive from Bellingham, Washington, 20 miles south of the Canadian border on the Inter-state 5 corridor.
Archambault is currently on his third Koller Yarder and has leased two others on various occasions. He still maintains two of the Austrian-built yarders. The K501, with a tube extension, is his main machine while he uses a K300 for smaller jobs. The tube extension on the K501 gives him a total tower height of 40'.
Archambault's K501 is permanently mounted on a five-ton ex-US Army G.I. truck. He says Koller USA found the 1969 six-wheel drive vehicle with only 1,800 miles on the odometer, and mounted the yarder on it for him. "With the six-wheel drive and the winch on the front with 20,000 lbs. of pull, we can go anywhere," says Archambault.
Archambault's K501 yarder is permanently mounted on a five-ton ex-US Army truck.
"The K300 which is trailer mounted and can be set up in 15 minutes', is used on smaller jobs," says Archambault. "It is inexpensive enough that we can use it only when we need it and it does not have to be a working day.
A 45-minute drive from the A & R site, through the rolling farmlands of western Washington, brings you to the small town of Acme, where Kerry Thalhofer and his partners at Eco-Log are working at a clearcutting operation.
Thalhofer, along with partners Gary Zwiers and Tom Comstock, are also fans of the Koller yarders. Working on narrow logging roads, Eco Log finds the K501 saves them on road-building costs, as it is small enough that they do not require landings. Logs are simply piled at the roadside before being trucked to the mill. Their K501 is on wheels and can be towed with a large pick-up truck or their Garrett 30 skidder. For longer trips on the highway, Eco Log transports the yarder and skidder together on the same flatbed truck. "The 501 is ideal for thinning operations but it can work on large clearcuts as well," Thalhofer says.
The five or six 30-ton loads that Eco Log harvests per day is evidence of the Koller yarder's flexibility and adaptability to clearcut logging. At Archambault's thinning operation they harvest approximately four similar-sized loads per day.
Like A & R Cable Thinning, Eco Log also has two Koller yarders. Their second unit is an identical K501 and is working at Lake Cavanaugh in Skagit County, Washington. Thalhofer says he has "worked for 20 years on the big yarders and these 7/16" cables are great," adding "it is like being on vacation."
Zwiers concurred with Thalhofer on the cable issue. "If you want to haul two-inch cable around all day, go ahead. We will take the smaller machine any time."
Eco Log teams the Koller yarder and Garrett skidder with a Link-Belt 3400 loader at the Acme site, while down the road in Skagit County the Koller machine is working with a Timberjack 450 skidder and a 225 Cat loader.
Eco Log bought their first Koller yarder about three years ago and recently purchased the second machine.
Thalhofer and Zwiers started the company in 1992 with just a skidder, and then decided to expand in order to compete with the bigger companies for larger jobs. Five years ago they took on their third partner, Tom Comstock.
From the Acme site, the harvested logs go to a variety of places, with some of the wood ending up at stud mills and larger timber going to mills producing export-grade lumber. The cedar is shipped to the Welco mill in Arlington, Washington.
Zwiers says they are actually working through Olympic Resource Management for the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, which owns the land.
Back at Archambault's thinning site, yarder operator Jim Keimig is busy moving logs up the steep corridor specifically created for the yarder cables. "The 501 is great for thinning," says Keimig. "It's got enough torque and power. Overall, it is a great machine."
Keimig, who has worked on A & R's machine for about a year, also says the yarder is easy to rig up, taking only half an hour to 45 minutes on a good day. He also likes the ease of maintenance and the accessibility to all the parts.
Both Archambault and Thalhofer have been very pleased with the after-sales service from Koller USA in Portland, Oregon. Because of Koller's location next to the Portland Airport, both contractors say they can get parts flown up on Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air in less than half a day.
"When we really need a part we often see it in Bellingham just three or four hours after placing our order with Koller's parts department in Portland," says Archambault.
Archambault has been a firm believer in the Koller machines since starting his cable thinning business just over four years ago. He has been to Austria twice to get a better understanding of how the machines are put together and what kinds of techniques the Austrians are using Koller yarders for in their rugged terrain.
"The most important technique I have learned from the Austrians is how to run the cables through an intermediate support to eliminate dragging," says Archambault. "It is a technique that I was originally shown by the Koller USA staff and that we taught ourselves through trial and error, but we were able to fine tune the operation by visiting logging sites in Austria," he says.
"The intermediate support is crucial to our operation, as you work the yarder to death if you don't have one. If you take away the intermediate support, you may as well take away the yarder." Archambault says to use the intermediate support technique you need a couple of loggers who like to climb and rig.
Another impressive feature of A & R's K501 is the ability to yard off either side of the machine because of the tube extension. This means Archambault can harvest logs 360' around the yarder. This is a feature that Eco Log's K501 does not have; however both yarders have downhill logging ability, due to the hydraulic interlock third drum or haulback drum.
"The Koller yarders are known more for their finesse than their strength, so that they are able to take logs that a larger yarder could not get without damaging leave trees," says Archambault.
Archambault is also quick to give credit to his crew for their success. "We have an excellent crew that gives 110 per cent and there is no way we could pull four loads day out of here without them, no matter what we had for equipment," he says.
He also says the engineers did an excellent job before his company even came into the area, by putting an the roads on the edge of a break, making his job easier.
A & R started logging the area a year and a half ago under Trillium Corporation of Bellingham. Several months ago the land changed over to Crown Pacific and Archambault's contract went with it. Larger wood from the site goes to a mill in Marysville, Washington as sawlogs, while pulp-quality logs are shipped to Everett, Washington.
"Our goal is to leave the site better than the way we found it," says Archambault. "That means taking out the diseased and small timber, along with some high-quality wood to make our operation cost-effective while leaving enough for a healthy stand to thrive in the future'"
Koller USA, the North American distributor for Koller, says the latest K501 s are powered by a Cummins 6BT engine producing 165 hp, coupled with an Allison AT 545, four-speed automatic transmission. Line capacities on the skyline are 1,6W of 3/4" swaged cable. The mainline has a capacity of 1,700'of 1/2" swaged cable while the haulback line holds 2,900'of 7/16" cable. The guyline is 145'of 3/4" cable.
The line pull on the skyline is 15,900 lbs. in the tensioning compartment, while the mainline has a line pull of 8,100lbs. at medium drum and a line speed of 1,000' per minute.
Both A & R and Eco Log elected to go with the Eaglet carriage, manufactured by Eagle carriage and Machine of LaGrande, Oregon. The lightweight carriage weighs in at only 1,200 lbs.
Archambault, being the Koller fan that he is, spotted a new machine not yet available in North America while on his last trip to Austria. "I was very impressed with a computer remote-controlled processor/yarder that is definitely on my wish list when it comes to this country," says Archambault with a big smile.

These leashes are the best, excellent material, and last for years. I have used these for my standard poodle, and toy poodle. They hold up to heavy pulling, never bend in the metal, break, or rust. I get the 5/8 by 6 foot one's as they seem to be the best size, and length for me. When they get dirty it's easy to clean them with soap and water.
The dog leash I bought was impossible to find in the size, length & color I needed to match my dog's collar. I was so happy to see the exact leash I wanted was available for a price VERY comparable to those in the stores in my city. Thanks!!

Builders in most of the country can use prescriptive solutions found in International Residential Code (IRC) tables to meet the requirements for lateral bracing of walls against wind pressure or earthquake forces (see "Calculating the Required Length of Bracing" by Ted Cushman, JLC 7/13). But using the tables can be complicated — and depending on the materials you choose, the amount of wall area devoted to bracing can become excessive.
Wood structural panels (plywood and OSB) are a strong wall-bracing material that can pack a lot of bracing into a short length of wall (which is the reason that OSB is the typical choice for engineered shearwalls in high-wind or high-seismic regions). Not surprisingly, the OSB industry is working to leverage that advantage by developing easier and better methods for meeting code using their product. The latest effort from APA - The Engineered Wood Association is a 12-page technical pamphlet called "APA System Report: APA Simplified Wall Bracing Method."
"In developing the APA Simplified Wall Bracing Method, a variety of wall assemblies were tested at the APA Research Center in Tacoma, Washington to characterize the lateral performance of walls that are continuously sheathed with 7/16-inch minimum wood structural panels fastened with a specified nailing schedule," the association said in an online press release. The result was a new set of recommended wall bracing tables, based on a two-story structure with continuous sheathing using 7/16 Performance Rated sheathing (which could be either plywood or OSB, depending on the supplier).
The APA pamphlet explains, "To provide the user with the greatest possible architectural latitude, this system report only covers continuously sheathed wood structural panel bracing (2012 IRC Method SC-WSP) with an increased sheathing thickness (called "Performance Category" in product standards) and a closer nailing schedule on the first story of a two-story structure. This approach increases the performance of the bracing panels on the first story due to the additional restraint provided by the mass and stiffness of the structure above, through strength from incrased fastening and with the use of thicker wood structural panel continuous sheathing. This enhanced performance on the bottom story of two-story structures leads to reduced length of required bracing in these areas, allowing for the method to be used on homes with abundant window and door openings on the front and back elevations."
