I personally hope Denove takes some starts away form Corky down at AAA. He showed some nice potential with the bat last year.

If there is any area of concern, one thing that seems to stick out to me is the lack of hitting prospects from Dayton through Carolina.
Sure Rojas has a good glove, and guys like Wiley and Coddington have outperformed their expectations. But realistically, other than Fellhauer, Soto and Mesoraco- all of which have huge question marks of their own- there is not a single real hitting prospect in the bunch. Not one player who you could say with any degree of confidence will have a real major league career. That concerns me.
Still though, the organization is in a MUCH better place than its been in years- especially considering the pitching, which looks pretty strong across the organization.

If you can't be a good example... then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
Nothing tastes as good as being fit feels...
However if you wanted to critique any part of the minor league organization, that is the biggest area of weakness that I would highlight. I do agree that it is not as much of a concern given we have at least one very good player/prospect under 25 at almost every relevant position (aside from C, 2B and maybe SS).
Go BLUE!!!
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
At this point, there is no catcher in the organization that appears to be a serious prospect. Coddington has outperformed so far, and Mesoraco can show flashes of potential, but there still is no one who I could confidently say is a significant part of the future at this point. If Mesoraco holds his own in AA this season (if he makes it that far), that may change. By holding his own, I'd like to see an OPS > .750, not "improved peripherals" with a poor slash line. Conversely if either guy can maintain an OPS well over .800 in Lynchburg, I'd be fine with that too- assuming they continue to improve defensively.
Go BLUE!!!
Nice effort Nemesis. You remembered Terrell Young, whom many of us had slipped on. One note though: Konstanty is now a pitcher. Rosters are 24 in Triple-A and Double-A for the first 30 days, then they are 23. They are 25 all year in Single-A.
Another guy we are leaving out is Jeff Jeffords, who showed some promise in 08 and has a good arm but missed 09 with an injury.
I am going to post the entire list of farm system players in a new thread.

The schedule works out perfectly for the REDS to have a 4-man rotation until May 19th.
The first time a 5th starter is needed is April 14th.
The second time a 5th starter is needed is April 24th.
The third time a 5th starter is needed is May 4th.
The fourth time a 5th starter is needed is May 19th.
The fifth time a 5th starter is needed is May 24th.
That knowledge changes the whole dynamics of the Opening Day Roster. The REDS can have an extra bat (14 hitters and 10 pitchers), which is great.
Assuming the health to be good for everyone, we'll have:
....as our 4 starters through May 18th, with only 3 starts needed before that by a pitcher other than them. Sounds like the perfect job for Micah Owings, who would get those 3 starts, then a 4th start on May 19th if he'd earned it by his showings in his first three starts. If not a 5th starter can be brought up May 19th, or wait until May 24th. One of the pitchers who has been pitching in AAA could get the call up with one of the AA pitchers taking his place (or the "6th" Starter who wasn't ready by the 2nd Week of April).
I don't think the REDS want any of those guys listed in my AAA "starters" coming out of the bullpen while waiting to start games on those dates from above.
It's possible that the REDS go straight to a 5-man rotation out of Spring Training and let every one pitch every 6th day instead of every 5th day until May 19th. One reason to do that is because the REDS have too many pitchers who should be pitching at the AA and AAA level. The easiest way to solve this problem though is to assume that 20% of the staff isn't going to be ready on Opening Day and will need extended Spring Training. Only those who are truly ready will get to pitch at the start of April.
Anyone else, and the REDS are going to want to have them pitching every day.
So, to begin with the AAA starters should look like (among these 6 assuming one won't be healthy enough to be ready the 2nd Week of April):
The AA starters should look like this (among these 7 assuming two won't be healthy enough to start or be ready the 2nd Week of April):
Jordan Smith
As soon as May 24th arrives, or Owings proves he's not up to the task, there will be a trickle-up effect that clears up the logjam of pitchers.
You can't have too much pitching, so this is a very, very good thing.
I haven't seen this much "decent" pitching in the REDS' organization since I've been alive to notice (I've been noticing for about 38 years since I was 12 and had access to libraries and The Sporting News and Baseball Digest.).

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Stress is a mental or emotional condition that occurs in response to external influences. All organisms on earth respond to stress in physical and physiological ways. When an antelope is being chased by a lion, it is under stress and it experiences certain physiological changes such as an increased heart rate that help it escape the danger. To conserve energy, the antelope also turns off certain functions that are unnecessary for survival, such as digestion, reproduction and the immune system. People react in the same way to stress, which is why we can develop high blood pressure, ulcers and other illnesses. The only difference is that in most cases the stressor in our lives is not going to eat us for dinner.
Stress has a large impact on our ability to think creatively and to form strong memories. When you are worried about something, your mind wastes energy on the worry and becomes inefficient at working towards a solution to the problem. We have a tendency to jump to conclusions and rush ahead in order to get the stress out of our lives. People under stress rarely step back and try to explore their options.
We have several relaxation techniques that can be used to deal with stress and continue to think creatively.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The 17th-ranked Saint Leo women's tennis team made easy work of their opponent and extended their win streak to three straight, swatting the West Virginia State Yellow Jackets 8-1 on Wednesday afternoon from the Saint Leo Tennis Center.
The Lions advance their record to 12-4 on the season, while the Yellow Jackets drop their second consecutive match and fall to a mark of 12-5.
Earning two of three doubles matches, the Lions went on to sweep West Virginia State in singles play to secure the win.
The third flight tandem of Maria Benkirane and Samantha White took an easy 8-0 victory over Jana Jones and Clara McAdam, followed by the No. 1 and eighth-ranked duo of Laura Kemkes and Emily Singleton with an 8-0 sweep over Brittany Craig and Ana Juarez.
The No. 2 doubles combo of Jeanette McDonald and Adrianna Daszkiewicz found a tough matchup against the Yellow Jackets, dropping 8-5 to Andreea Slusarciuc and Jordan Kerns to wrap up doubles play.
Despite the slip in doubles, McDonald bounced back to wrap up singles play first, sweeping Kerns 6-0, 6-0 to put the Lions ahead 3-1. No. 5 Benkirane followed suite with another 6-0, 6-0 finish, taking down WVSU's Kerns to give Saint Leo a 4-1 advantage.
No. 6 Caroline Ebner finished third in singles action, taking down Jones 6-0, 6-1. Daskiewicz took the first set over Juarez with ease and surrendered three points in the second to take home a 6-0, 6-3 win.
Singleton and Kemkes finished fifth and sixth, respectively. Singleton walked away with two 6-2 sets for the win, securing the Lions' seventh win of the day. Kemkes battled through a first set struggle, earning 7-6(5) win in the first set, but went on to trounce opponent Craig in the second set 6-1 to conclude the afternoon.
"Overall we played well as a team today," said Head Coach James Bryce. "Jeanette and Ada responded well after a tough doubles match, and we're impressed with how they recovered. We're excited about the next few weeks."
The nationally-ranked Saint Leo women's tennis team returns to action on Sunday, March 25, when they host Lindenwood at 1 p.m. For the latest news, updates, and information on the Lions, visit saintleolions.com.

Topic: CAREGIVERS TAKE CARE
I went for my pre-op today and received this list for caregivers on what to do to take care of them selves. I thought it was excellent because taking care of yourself is one of the best things you can do for your loved one!
*Be kind to yourself-don't over schedule your life at a stressful time.
*Rather than sitting for long periods of time, take a walk, even if its just to the cafeteria, outside or the gift shop (my favorite).
* Make sure you get enough sleep and rest.
*East several small meals a day and stay well hydrated. Its easy to forget to nourish yourself while you are worried about someone else.
*Ask for help if you need it both at home as well as at the hospital.
*Allow extra time to get ready and to drive to and from the hospital. Stress can cause accidents. Wear your seat belt!
*Request a blanket if you are cold.
*Carry a pad of paper and a pen with you to write down questions for the doctor or nurse.
*Ask for a visit from a spiritual care adviser if it will bring you comfort.
*Seek the advise of your own health care professional if you feel the events in your life are too overwhelming to handle.
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF....we are needed!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/5/2013 (1566 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MOON ALERT We have the all-clear to do business and make important decisions until 7:15 p.m. The new moon in Taurus occurs at 7:28 p.m.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Today's new moon is your best chance all year to make resolutions about how you handle your money. Do you save any? Do you take care of what you own? Do you spend more than you earn? (These gut-wrenching realities can't be ignored.) Yeah, I hate smelling the coffee.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Today, the only new moon in your sign all year is taking place, which means it's your best opportunity to take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your appearance. Why not create the best impression in your world that you can every day?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
It's easy to sail along and not think about spiritual values until something heavy-duty happens in your life. Then you get religion. According to astrology, this is the best day of the year for you to think about what your spiritual values really are.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Friendships are important. This is the only new moon all year that is an opportunity for you to focus on how you relate to friends and groups and how you might improve those relationships. Got any ideas? What do your friends think of you?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Each new moon is different. Today the only new moon at the top of your chart all year is taking place. This means this is the best day in the year for you to scrutinize your style of relating to authority figures -- parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs. How can you improve?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is an auspicious day for you. It is perhaps the best day of the year to ask yourself what further education or training could you get and what further travel can you do to enrich and enhance your life. Think about this.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today's mew moon captures your focus on shared property, inheritances, the wealth and assets of your partner and, in fact, the wealth of others in general. This also includes your debt plus taxes. Are you on top of things?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The only new moon all year that is opposite your sign is occurring. This means it's the best day in the year for you to think how you can improve your closest relationships -- partnerships and close friendships. How can you be more thoughtful and caring?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You have an excellent opportunity today to ask yourself how you can improve your job, or get a better job, or perhaps improve your attitude to your job. Likewise, what can you do that will improve your health? This is a new-moon opportunity for you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today's new moon is your chance to think about how you can improve your relationships with your kids and your relationship with sports, the arts and romantic partners. Areas that are considered pleasure can be sources of pain if not handled skilfully.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Since each new moon is a chance to make resolutions, grab this opportunity to decide how you can improve your home and your relationship with family members. Family is gold. Good family relationships are supportive.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Communication studies claim even in the best of communications only 40 per cent is actually getting back and forth. Our conversations are like two ships passing in the night. Today's new moon is a good time to think about how well (or not) you communicate to others.
Actor John Corbett (1961) shares your birthday. You appreciate beautiful things, especially antiques. You also appreciate kindness and generosity in relationships, which you are ready to give and expect in return. Many of you have a lovely speaking voice, which is helpful because you don't hesitate to speak up for the rights of the underprivileged.

Patriot's Paradise
Part 3: You will find so much of America in all these places, but you won't find any food or service on par with what Sovereign offers.
Story and Photography by Kim Kavin
Not until three years ago did Massachusetts clear the remaining names of the witch trial victims, posthumously restoring their civil rights. The story is a powerful reminder not only of how quickly a society can get swept into the mania of fear, but of just how long the consequences endure.
The American spirit has survived such episodes throughout its existence, and in no place is this more evident than Gloucester. Sovereign ties up right next to the commercial fishing fleet, smack in the middle of the Rocky Neck Artists Colony, reportedly the nation's oldest. It's a few blocks' worth of true individualism where any hint of repression is drowned out by colorful oils, watercolors, and sculpture.
The proprietors are just as cool as their offerings. I asked the owner of Ken's Art Shop about some carvings, and he walked me onto his back deck to meet the 87-year-old artist who'd made them. Up the street, Elynn Kroger has an impressive gallery of works in the style of American greats Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollack, and Arthur Dove. "This place has changed my life," she said. "After 35 years as an artist, I'm finally self-sufficient. People come here and buy art."
A 20-minute cab ride away is Bearskin Neck—less earthy but just as crammed with interesting works by regional artists. The owner of Gentile Gallery summed up the decisive lack of tourist junk: "You can go to the mall for that." Quite a jab, I thought, at the commerce that has replaced religion as a dominating force in modern culture.
You will find so much of America in all these places, but you won't find any food or service on par with what Sovereign offers. "When [guests] go to get off the boat, my goal is to have them disappointed wherever they go," chef Christopher Wear says. "I want them comparing every other chef to me."
Wear cooks with creativity. Every dish is a delicious amalgam of flavors you'd never think to combine: red wine and cranberry vinaigrette atop pole beans and peaches; a ground filet mignon hamburger topped with a jam of roasted red peppers, champagne, and red onions. Each presentation is unique, and the service by chief stewardess Kelly Collins and second stew Courtney Kane is impeccable. Kelly's brother is first mate Sean Collins, who keeps things lively with deckhand Ben Cole. All four came of age together in Michigan and genuinely enjoy working as a team to create a memorable charter experience.
I suppose that's the spirit of America in and of itself—four kids from the Midwest growing up to work aboard a fabulous charter yacht with a New England captain whose ancestors predate the Mayflower by two full years.
If past is prologue, Sovereign has a wonderful future of chartering ahead. Whoever wins the election in November might think about booking a week to wind down and stay focused for the years to come.
Sovereign takes 12 guests. She charters for $55,000 per week, plus expenses, in New England and the Bahamas.

GUIDED walks around Minehead's parks exploring the town's unique arboretum will be launched on Wednesday.
Storyteller Chris Jelly has teamed up with the Minehead Development Trust to create the 'Parks Walks'.
The web-based guides which can be downloaded to a smart phone or tablet can be used to look at the tree collection in a whole new way.
Chris said: "My approach to creating these trails is likened to a skimming stone, stopping at several segments of the park and dropping interesting facts, myths and tales throughout, and all pivoting on the trees.
"What this is not is an in depth factual tour and history of the Minehead Parks walks.
"Readers can discover which tree produces twigs that can ward off witches, which tree produces nuts that were used to make gunpowder, and how to discover the initial of your true love."
Stephen Hooper, Minehead Vision manager, commissioned the walks as part of the Vision Plan to enhance and celebrate Minehead's Horticultural Heritage.
Stephen added: "These new interpretations really bring the arboretum to life in a way that appeals to the child in all of us.
"The walks have been designed to complement the existing guide originally commissioned by the Exmoor Natural History Society, and whose members have been colaborating in the development of the project."
To celebrate the launch, Chris Jelly will be leading three free walks on August 20, to groups of up to 25 people, at 11am from Parkhouse Road, 1pm from Periton Lane, and 3pm from Porlock Road.
To book a place, call the Minehead Visitor Centre on 01643-702624.
The guide will be free to download from minehead.storywalks.info

Refreshing Communities Through Outdoor Gardens
(NewsUSA) – Whether you live in an urban or rural area, enjoying the outdoors is something many Americans have in common, and we experience it in different ways — both big and small — from growing herbs on the back porch to perusing the community farmer's market in town.
But why not take it a step further and take action to make your community a little greener? Creating an outdoor oasis helps preserve green space, beautifies neighborhoods, and can also bring together the community through a shared cause.
One way to do this is through The Pepsi Refresh Project, which through the input of people across the country, awards grants to projects, for both individuals and organizations, that do good for the community. This month Pepsi is challenging America, asking "How can you upgrade your hometown with a new community garden?" Go to www.refresheverything.com and give Pepsi your best answer, or click through the hundreds of other entries to vote on your favorite ideas to help ensure worthy organizations receive the funding they deserve. Since last year, Americans have chosen to award more than 20 million dollars to community-supportive ideas that receive the greatest number of votes through this landmark fundraising effort.
Take Central Elementary Gardens for example, started by teacher Christy Cuthbert, who used the $25,000 Pepsi Refresh Project grant to create an outdoor learning center and garden for her school. Students not only get their hands dirty in the garden, but also learn skills to promote and manage a community farmers market. There's also the Brigit's Bounty started by a Colorado resident, Brandi-Lynn Greig. She used her $25,000 grant to provide fencing, seeds, trees, and educational programming for a community garden, which provides fresh vegetables to over 200 families in need each month.
Other ways to get involved are to join an already established community garden or farm in your area. From planting to managing sales, there are several ways you can contribute.
Every action helps to create major impact on communities, whether you choose to vote for your favorite idea or put your own idea into action. Even as the summer days start to shorten and we head back to school, Pepsi will continue to challenge Americans with the next question, asking, "How would you make learning fun?" No matter the season, ideas can always inspire change in communities and the Pepsi Refresh Project encourages just that.


text: In the five years or so that I've been covering BYU football on a full-time basis (I was sort of a backup BYU writer the three or four years before that), not many players have given better interviews than middle linebacker Brandon Ogletree. 'Tree, as his teammates call him, is articulate, frank, and rarely resorts to cliches to get his point across. You can tell his passion for the game of football, and for the school he represents, is deep and strong. A senior, Ogletree is the heart and soul of BYU's No. 3-ranked defense. Guys such as Kyle Van Noy, Ziggy Ansah and Uona Kaveinga have gotten more pub over the years, but make no mistake about it, there's a reason Ogletree was picked to be the captain of the defense. He's the straw that stirs the drink for this defense perhaps the best in school history. Ogletree is the topic of this profile in Wednesday's Salt Lake Tribune. I wish I had had the space to write more about the undersized linebacker who I believe is BYU's version of Johnny Football Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel. Of course, Ogletree would like to give pro football a shot. If that doesn't work out, he's preparing to take the LSAT and would like to go to law school. His major is American Studies. That was also Jimmer Fredette's major, and the two athletes had several classes together. Ogletree is married to the former Amanda Dean, who is also from Texas (Houston). The two met when Amanda was dating one of Ogletree's roommates, fellow BYU football player Blake Morgan. Here are more comments from Ogletree, comments that didn't make it into the story: On his emotional state about getting close to the end of his career:"Mainly, I just want to leave it all out there and not have any regrets. Just focusing on playing as hard as I can and helping my teammates any way I can and helping my team any way I can. I want to be able to look back and be satisfied." On how much he watches football when he's not playing it:"I am definitely a football junkie. My wife gets annoyed by it, but I try to watch college football whenever I can. I grew up watching football with my dad on Saturdays, after my game on Friday night. So it has been a huge part of my life. Yeah, I love it." On having seven sisters and what that was like:"Everyone asks me that, and I tell them I don't know anything different. That's just kind of how my life was. It is cool. They look our for me ... It is cool; I don't know anything different."On being a psycho on the field: "I think I definitely play with a chip on my shoulder. The psycho thing it is because I am really undersized, and outclassed physically by offensive linemen, or whoever is blocking me. I just go to a place where I find an edge, and that kind of lets me be on par with a lot of people just being able to play harder and with more emotion and more passion." On how much he studies film:"I live in my Ipad. I carry where ever I go, and I am watching film constantly. I don't know how I compare to other people but that's what I do. I just watch film."On his favorite memory at BYU:"Don't know if I can single out one play or anything in particular. One thing I will take away is the relationships I have built with teammates. I mean, I feel like these dudes are my brothers. It is hard every year. This year I will be one of those dudes, and it will be rough. That's what I cherish the most, the relationships with others."On the goal line stand vs. Boise State: "Yeah, if I had to pick just one play, or series of plays, that would probably be it just because of the effort it took and the execution it took."On his three picks: "As a linebacker, you really don't live and die for interceptions. I would rather have a big hit than an interception. But that's cool. That's icing on the cake. It is cool to have your buddies see it and say, hey, nice interception."- Here are a few comments about Ogletree from fellow linebacker Kyle Van Noy:On what Ogletree is like: "Man, he's a fierce competitor. The coolest thing about him is he's a good guy. He has a kid, and to watch how he interacts with his kid and his wife you look up to that. He is a good guy, but when he steps between those lines he gets to switch into a different person. And he is someone you want to go to battle with every day, because he's like a brother and he's a good guy." On Ogletree being proud of his Texas upbringing:"In Texas, they are prideful about their state. Ogletree is his own guy. He's made his imprint on BYU as far as being a great leader and contributing to this defense. He's our spokesman, he's our loudmouth guy whatever you want to call him. But he's the core of bringing us closer together and wanting us to play harder. I think having a guy like that makes everyone around him better. So he lifts everyone, kinda like Johnny Football so I would agree in that nature. As far as bringing up players around him, he's like Johnny Football."On what Ogletree is like on the field:"On the field, he is just crazy. He will run through a brick wall if you ask him to. He will do anything it takes to bring a guy down, whether it is hit him hard or scratch and crawl his way to the tackle. He's just a fierce competitor. Off the field, he's genuine, kind of a quiet little giant. I think he's got little man syndrome a little bit. I think he's a fun character. He's always a fun time to be around. He's a good guy and a great dad. He's kind of an older brother to me and he's a good role model in that aspect."

You can help prevent illness and injury by reading the container label for each hazardous substance you use. There should always be a label on a container. If you have any questions after reading the container label, check the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). The MSDS is probably the most detailed source of information for the hazardous substance you are using.
Always check the container label before handling any substance. All container labels list basic warnings. Others may give more detailed precautions. Container labels may have information such as the following:
A brief description of the substance
The main ingredients of the substance
The kind of personal protective equipment you should wear while handling the substance
A list of hazard warnings, such as the need to keep the substance away from flames, the need to avoid skin contact, or the need to use in a well-ventilated area
Directions on how to use the substance safely
Steps to take if you splash the substance in your eyes or on your skin
The procedure for storing the substance safely
The manufacturer's name and address
The procedure for disposing of the container

More than 200 people gathered at Dana Hills High School for a memorial service Saturday to honor Teresa Carratturo, a 33-year Capistrano Unified School District employee who had worked as a campus supervisor at Dana Hills since 1990.
Carratturo, 71, died of unknown causes at her Laguna Woods home Sept. 2, one week before she was set to start her 24th year at Dana Hills.
Her memorial service, hosted by Dana Hills High School and the city of Dana Point, took place on the high school's soccer field. In addition to relatives, friends and Dana Hills students and faculty, many former students returned to attend the service, as did several retired teachers who had worked alongside Carratturo.
Carratturo's three adult sons, all of whom reside in Washington state, were among those in attendance.
"My mother was just a go-getter, a tiger," said Marc Carratturo, who attended along with brothers Dan and Christian. "She never let adversity stop her, and she passed that spirit onto us."
After each of the brothers spoke briefly, the forum was opened for guests to share words of inspiration about Carratturo.
"Seeing everyone here today reminds us that it is important to remember the impact she had on all of us," said Jason Allemann, principal at Dana Hills High School. "She was a remarkable, amazing person. She gave back to the community, was an amazing educator and kept the spirit of education alive among us."
Carratturo is remembered for going above and beyond her expected duties as a campus supervisor. A native Spanish speaker born and raised in Argentina, Carratturo enjoyed helping Spanish-speaking students learn English.
At both Dana Hills High School and R.H. Dana Elementary School, where she worked for 10 years prior to her arrival at Dana Hills in 1990, Carratturo served as a liaison for Spanish-speaking students. After school hours, Carratturo could often be found at students' homes or at the Dana Point Community Center, tutoring in English and Spanish.
In addition to her dedication to helping students master a second language, Carratturo was appreciated by students and faculty alike for her optimism and friendly demeanor.
"She always had a smile on her face and was one of the kindest people I had the chance to know," alum Dylan Eisner wrote on a Facebook page dedicated to Carratturo. "Whether it was 6 a.m. before zero period or four in the afternoon after a long day of dealing with Dana students, she always went out of her way to make me, as well as others, enjoy their day better with a joke or even a simple 'have a nice day.'"
"She will sincerely be missed as a proctor, member of the Dana Hills community, and most of all a friend," he continued. "We all love you, Teresa, and you will never be forgotten in the eyes of the Dolphins."

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- A research laboratory in Ohio is simulating extreme day and night temperatures in Mars to test the power generators used in NASA'S Mars rover.
Researchers at the University of Dayton were chosen to test to the performance of the generators on the Curiosity rover as part of an ongoing five-year, $3.75 million contract with the U.S. Department of Energy.
The two Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators being tested at the university's Research Institute lab are the only ones on Earth, according to the Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/1jHnG4m ). A third is powering the Curiosity rover on Mars.
The generator is the power system used to recharge the batteries on Curiosity. Researchers will design experiments to evaluate the performance of the generator over time and under conditions similar to Mars, where temperatures can range from 45 degrees during the day to 100 below at night.
University officials dedicated the new testing laboratory on Tuesday.
Chadwick Barklay, a research scientist at the lab, said the multi-mission system is unique because it is the first radioisotope thermoelectric generator built for both planetary atmospheres as well as for the vacuum of space.
"The technology was invented here in Dayton back in the late 1950s," Barklay said. "A lot of work had been done here in the Dayton area over the past 30 years, so it's nice to see that the technology to a certain extent has come back to its birthplace."
Barklay helped develop the layout and assembly procedures for the generator that was launched with Curiosity in August 2012. The research lab also performs materials testing for the Department of Energy under the same contract, which runs until 2016.

Carl Whitaker (1912-1995) was a US psychiatrist and pioneer family therapist.
From 1946 Whitaker served as Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Emory University, where he focused on treating schizophrenics and their families. He became a professor of Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1965 until his retirement in 1982.[1]
Whitaker co-developed the symbolic-experiential approach to therapy and the use of co-therapists.
His work has been characterized by some as "confrontational" but really what he was trying to confront was the process of therapy, by challenging it along with the patient's presumptions of their own mental illness. He told a story at the first Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference in Phoenix of his experiences working with adolescents in a treatment facility earlier in his career. Whitaker was ruggedly built and well muscled from working outdoors in his youth. He would challenge each patient to an arm wrestle at the beginning of the therapy. He explained that if he was going to have to struggle with someone to help them to change, he might as well bring this right out on the table. He said he did this successfully for years until, "it didn't feel genuine anymore, then I stopped".

VISITORS flocked to North Petherton's 111th annual flower show on Saturday.
The show was opened Mrs J. Davies, former postmistress in the town, before the displays of fruit, vegetables, floral art, photographs, paintings, cookery and handicrafts came under scrutiny.
The number of entries in the flower and vegetable classes were well up on last year, and overall entries were up by 15% on last year.
Many visitors stayed for tea and cakes which added to the community spirit the flower show organisers are trying to promote in the town.

SYNOPSIS: By the time of Android of Notre Dame, the fifth installment in the Guinea Pig Series, any mondo factualization of the fictional has disappeared. Instead, we have a typical cyberpunk narrative as if focalized through the fevered imagination of Manfred Clynes who posited in the 1960s that the body would become redundant at the interface of new cybernetic technologies. …Read More »

BURY have signed winger Lewis Young until the end of the season.
Out of contract winger Young has signed on a permanent deal.
The 24-year-old has been training with the Shakers for a few weeks and has impressed David Flitcroft with his pace.
He is available to play in tomorrow's trip to Cheltenham.
Shakers boss David Flitcroft said of the former Watford, Burton and Yeovil Town player: "When we lost Temitope Obadeyi to Plymouth, we lost that unpredictable edge and pace, and Lewis represents that because he does have some real pace about him.
"He is good at making the correct decisions in the final third of the pitch and that is something that I want in my side.
"With the pace we have in the team we have a real energy going forward.
"He came to Mansfield with us and watched the game; he knows that we play the right kind of football for him.
"He's not the finished product yet, and that's why it's important for him to come to the right club and he knows that.
"What he will give us is a great impact from the bench. Sometimes it's a case of being at the right place at the right time and Lewis has just found himself at the right place at the right time. "As a management team we believe we can get the best out of him and we will put him in a happy place.
"He is very quick, that we have seen already, he can get in behind defenders and he can hurt teams and we all look forward to seeing him in action."

Last week my kids visited my parents and came home with a couple of small eggplant(s?), so for supper Saturday night I grilled one along with the other chuck steak from the chile-lime wing cook.
I salted the slices for an hour to reduce the bitterness, blotted them with paper towels, and topped them with olive oil (they really soaked it up), dried oregano, and dried basil.
It didn't take more than 4 or 5 minutes per side to cook them, and they were quite done. The sun's going down a lot earlier these days...
Normally I don't care for eggplant but I'll eat it if it's been grilled. It didn't have a lot of flavor and frankly I think I tasted the oil and herbs more than anything, but the texture wasn't bad so I ate several slices while Mrs. Chicken finished the rest and said I did a good job.

Grandparents Offer Tips for a Long and Happy Marriage – Via Webcam!
90-somethings Kenny and Selma have been married for almost 72 years. Would you take marriage advice for them—and via webcam at that? We would!
-Lylah M. Alphonse, Yahoo! Shine
Kenny and Selma have figured out the secret to a long and happy marriage (they'll celebrate their 72nd anniversary this year!). So, when they couldn't make the cross-country trip to attend their grandson's California wedding in March, they agreed to share their wisdom via webcam instead.
"Hello, everybody!" the bespectacled 90-somethings say together as they lean into the webcam. "We are so happy that you all are together and witnessing my Michael's and Sue's wedding."
And then, the advice: A five-point plan for making marriage work.
Grandparents Send Awesome And Awkward Wedding Toasts – Watch More Funny Videos
I wanted them to be part of the wedding in some way," the groom, Michael Bender, told Yahoo! Shine.
His regular video chat sessions with them provided the inspiration. If they couldn't make it to Santa Barbara for the ceremony, "Why not do a wedding toast over iChat?"
Read 5 Tips to Strengthen Your Relationship
Bender helped edit the video, but he was the only one who saw it before the wedding. "At the wedding, it was definitely the moment that people were talking about," Bender says. "People were laughing a lot."
He filmed his guests' reactions and, later, showed those clips to his grandparents. He also posted their original video on his website, Awkward Family Photos. "My grandparents are an inspiration to me," he wrote in a post accompanying the video. "While they are the two funniest people I know, they are also incredible role models."
Selma and Kenny, who live in Tamarac, Florida, had no idea that their good wishes would be so popular — or so public. "They've done a few things for Awkward Family Photos in the past, but never anything on this level," he told Yahoo! Shine. "This is definitely taking it to another level."
Their advice for their beloved Mike and Sue quickly went viral. The Today Show brought in a couple of experts to evaluate their advice, but both Selma, 90, and Kenny, 94, missed the segment. Selma, who still works as a manicurist, had gone into the salon that morning, Bender says, and Kenny, who still works in a deli, had the TV tuned to a different channel.
"They still work," Bender said. "Now, people are coming in to the deli to shake his hand. At the nail salon, people are still talking about it. In their world, this is probably the talk of the town."
The sudden fame hasn't changed them one bit. "What you see is what you get," says Bender. For example, in the video, when Selma advises the newlyweds never to argue, Kenny is a bit more candid.
"We went to bed happy — after our fights," he says.
"That's because we were tired of fighting," Selma retorts.
They end their video message with a toast to the happy couple — and seal it with a kiss that takes them both a little by surprise.
"I haven't kissed him like that in 25 years!" crows Selma as Kenny chuckles in the background.

''Nepotism,'' writes Adam Bellow, son of a Nobel prize-winning novelist, ''is the bedrock of social existence.''
And a good thing, too, he reckons. In Saul Bellow's son's 2003 polemic In Praise of Nepotism, he argues it's both natural and necessary for powerful people to promote their relatives. They're often the best people for the job, he suggests. Besides, voters know what they're buying. ''Americans,'' Bellow writes, ''were conscious that in casting a vote for George W. Bush they were electing not just a man but a family.''
Australians were wondering this week what sort of a package deal they had purchased with the former Coalition MP Alex Somlyay. Fairfax Media revealed that Somlyay had allegedly defrauded taxpayers of tens of thousands of dollars by paying his wife Jenny for non-existent work in his electorate office.
Somlyay, a recently retired MP of more than 23 years, denies these allegations, but there remain a number of curiosities in his story. These include a pay rise awarded to his wife the month after he made his retirement speech.
It's clear from Somlyay's rebuttal that he belongs to the Adam Bellow School of Political Employment. After a day evading questions, Somlyay finally explained that his wife was almost uniquely qualified to be his ''researcher''. He employed his wife because it was ''impossible to find someone with the skills, tact and discretion'' to work in his political office. Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, Somlyay insists his wife worked every one of her reported 2030 hours, and earned every cent of her $69,157.15 salary.
Tony Abbott, whose wife and daughters have never featured on his office payroll, would strongly disagree with Bellow's and Somlyay's views concerning familial employment. So suspicious is the Prime Minister of political nepotism that in November he introduced the first rules that prohibit MPs and senators from giving jobs to their relatives.
Abbott's order is not retrospective. If MPs are currently employing relatives they can't be told to sack them. But as of January 1 this year, appointments of family members to political offices will not be approved.
Many wondered what the Prime Minister was on about when he ordered these changes. Was political nepotism really so prevalent that it required its own paragraph in the parliamentary rulebook? Or was this just a fig leaf to conceal Abbott's determination to do nothing serious about political rorting?
Following the events of the past week, it appears the first interpretation may be the correct one.
After Fairfax Media published the fraud allegations against Somlyay, readers and sources were quick to offer additional examples of familial employment.
What about Kevin Rudd? Didn't he employ his son Nicholas as a ''senior adviser'' during the election campaign? Well, as it happens, he did. And what about Chris Hayes, Dick Adams, Glenn Sterle, Chris Back, Ian Macdonald and Rowan Ramsey? Haven't all of these current and former MPs from both Labor and the Coalition hired their wives or partners on the public dime?
What about Liberal MP Dennis Jensen (daughter), Liberal MP Don Randall (daughter), former Labor senator Trish Crossin (daughter), Labor senator Helen Polley (daughter and niece), Labor MP Michael Danby (son), Nationals MP Luke Hartsuyker (son), Liberal MP Steve Irons (son), Nationals MP George Christensen (sister) and Liberal MP Bob Baldwin (daughter)?
I do not believe it would be appropriate, desirable or even possible to find an employee [other than his wife] with the flexibility to live on the road with me. - Liberal MP Rowan Ramsey
And that's before one gets to nepotism-once-removed. ''Nick Champion employs Nimfa Farrell. Don's wife,'' a source said.
A phone call to Senator Farrell elicited a history of employment that includes Mrs Farrell not only working for current Labor MP Champion but previously for Labor politicians Bob Catley, Michael Atkinson, Annette Hurley and Linda Kirk. All except Catley were affiliated with the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association, a trade union of which Senator Farrell is a former national president.
In another example of favouritism, if not exactly nepotism, former prime minister Julia Gillard attracted unwanted attention when news broke of the resignation of her media officer, Alexandra Williamson, in 2012. This followed allegations that Alexandra's father, Michael, Labor's former national president, had defrauded the Health Services Union of several million dollars.
Awkwardly, the man charged with policing Abbott's new rules banning nepotism - Special Minister of State Michael Ronaldson - has been rather nepotistic himself.
''I don't think it's any secret I employed my son,'' Senator Ronaldson said. ''The Prime Minister has now made the new rules clear.''
Abbott, who is viewed within the Coalition as being the most instinctively in touch with popular opinion, thinks there is something deeply unsavoury about politicians employing family members.
But if, as Bellow argues, nepotism is ''a drive as basic as sex and aggression'', the Prime Minister is asking his colleagues to abandon their deepest instincts. Hearing the cries of protest from MPs following Abbott's decision, one gets a sense of what Bellow means.
''I won't be sacking any of my staff,'' declared WA Labor senator Glenn Sterle at the time, in an interview with News Corp.
''How can I put this diplomatically? It won't be happening. My wife worked for a state MP for years and is more than qualified for the job.
''And you know what else? I like keeping our marriage together. I don't like going to bars in Canberra … I can go home and get a home-cooked meal.''
In interviews for this story, a number of MPs said there were good reasons why politicians hired family members, and argued their nepotism was in the national interest.
Liberal MP Rowan Ramsey, who represents the electorate of Grey, which covers some 90 per cent of South Australia, wonders who else but his wife would put up with such extraordinary travel demands.
''I do not believe it would be appropriate, desirable or even possible to find an employee with the flexibility to live on the road with me,'' Ramsey said.
Nor is Liberal senator Ian Macdonald a fan of his leader's new employment rules. He said his wife Lesley was ''absolutely trustworthy'' and had ''the corporate knowledge of my office going back to its inception''.
''The only impact of the new rules,'' said Macdonald, ''is that a married woman who works constantly, as Lesley does, will not be paid anything for her efforts as any other married woman doing the same work would be paid.''
There are many other good reasons for nepotism, MPs say. Trust - and more specifically the need for politicians to protect confidences - was a common theme.
''It's an issue of loyalty,'' said one Liberal MP, who has employed his daughter. ''Politics is a very sensitive environment. You can assume things are going well in the office while you are in Canberra, but you really don't know.''
Politics is a paranoid business and the security of having family members nearby can be comforting.
Former Labor MP Dick Adams, who employed his long-term partner Dee Alty for 18 years, said: ''Internally, people are a bit insecure. Someone can undermine your office very easily from within your own party.
''That didn't apply to me and that's not why I employed Dee,'' Adams added. ''[But] I know in some offices that's something they get really worried about - having someone they can have ultimate trust in.''
There are also economic benefits to hiring family. It saves MPs undertaking the costly and time-consuming process of executive recruitment, especially at short notice.
Liberal MP Bob Baldwin, who employed his daughter Samantha to fill a short-term position, said: ''The department won't go through the process of advertising [for temporary jobs].''
So with all these benefits, why does Abbott object so strongly to nepotism? Well, for one, the practice can create perceptions of banana republic-style cronyism. At the height of the expenses scandal last October, the Prime Minister is understood to have told his party room that it was ''not a good look'' for Coalition MPs to be employing family members
There are other reasons, of which Abbott is keenly aware. Nepotism diminishes Australia's meritocracy. It makes the political class even more insular.
Sources close to Alex Somlyay's electorate office are not aware of any work performed by the former MP's wife last year.
In Somlyay's final year in office, as he was winding back from work and spending hours serving as the ''Member for Golf'' at the Horton Park Golf Club, constituents say Somlyay did just fine with three - and in fact, mostly four - full-time staff members.
Somlyay insists his wife spent 270 days last year researching and writing his speeches and preparing him for committee meetings. She did all this from home, he says, adding that there was nothing unusual about listing his wife on the payroll under both her maiden and married names, suggesting two different people.
Hansard records do little to support Somlyay's claims. They indicate he spoke only 10 times in the House of Representatives - including his committee appearances - during the period covering his wife's employment. Some speeches are a few paragraphs long and none suggest the contribution of a couple of thousand hours' worth of research.
Somlyay gave his retirement speech last June and ceased all work as an MP in August.
So why did his wife get a pay rise in July? And why was she getting paid for research duties until December? These are now questions being considered by the Australian Federal Police.
If Abbott needs a cautionary tale to explain why he's made the right decision to ban familial employment, he could refer to Somlyay.
Or he could remind his colleagues of former US president George W. Bush, who employed nepotism on a heroic scale.
As Bellow writes: ''No sooner had Bush taken office … than he began handing out appointments to members of other Republican families.
''Michael Powell, son of Secretary of State Colin Powell, became chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Elaine Chao, wife of Senator Mitch McConnell, became secretary of labor. Chao's chief labor attorney, Eugene Scalia, was the son of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Elizabeth Cheney, the vice-president's daughter, became a deputy assistant secretary of state; her husband became chief counsel for the Office of Management and Budget.
''And in a crowning act of nepotistic chutzpah, Bush acceded to Senator Strom Thurmond's request that he appoint 28-year-old Strom Thurmond jnr US attorney for South Carolina.''
Bellow argues - his book was published in 2003, after all - that such rampant nepotism was not necessarily a bad thing. But knowing the destination of Bush's nepotistic adventures, Abbott appears well advised to rule politics out of the family.

Michigan Tech Faculty Member Wins NSF CAREER Award
Last Modified 10:41 AM, July 9, 2009
February 19, 2009—
The National Science Foundation has named Roshan D'Souza the recipient of a 5-year NSF CAREER Award. D'Souza, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering-engineering mechanics, heads a team of Michigan Tech researchers who are harnessing the power of graphics processing units (GPUs), the computing engine behind some of the most popular video games,to understand complex biological systems.
�This is one of those really significant early career recognitions," said David D. Reed, vice president for research. "It's extremely competitive, and you have to be able to explain how you are going to integrate teaching with your research. The CAREER Award demonstrates NSF's concern for extending the broader impact of research funding."
D'Souza is the second Tech faculty member to receive an NSF CAREER award in the past year. Last spring Jeffrey Allen, also an assistant professor of mechanical engineering-engineering mechanics, received an NSF CAREER Award for his research into capillary flow--how and why liquids and gases move through tiny channels such as those found in hydrogen fuel cells.
"The NSF CAREER Award is a prestigious and highly competitive multi-year grant for untenured junior faculty," explained William W. Predebon, chair of mechanical engineering-engineering mechanics. "It is a significant recognition of the quality and creativity of the proposed research, as well as recognition of the research potential of a junior faculty member."
Predebon called D'Souza's work "breakthrough research that could help overcome the major hurdle of translating the results of bench research into clinical therapies."
D'Souza and Allen are among six ME-EM faculty members to have received the NSF award. A total of 24 Tech researchers have won NSF CAREER Awards since 1995.
The awards are designed to promote early career development in junior faculty who exemplify the integration of research and teaching and who are likely to become the academic leaders of the future. Untenured faculty in their first tenure-track appointment are eligible to apply up to three times.
A free workshop to help eligible faculty members prepare to apply for NSF CAREER Awards is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 28 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Wadsworth Hall. Follow-up activities are also planned.
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

Went a different direction on this mockup and am (moderately) pleased with the result -- for one, the navbar doesn't break the scheme in IE anymore.
But this is too weird. In IE6, the top three sidebar links are white instead of their designated color. Here's the CSS:
#listcolutilities { padding-top: .5em;}
#listcolutilities a:link, a:visited,
#listcolutilities2 a:link, a:visited {
color: #333;
border-bottom: none;
#listcolutilities a:hover,
#listcolutilities2 a:hover {
background-color: #f7f7f7;
color: #26466D;
border-bottom: none;
#listcolutilities li,
#listcolutilities2 li {
font-size: 1em;
padding: .25em;
list-style-type: none;
and here's the pertinent HTML:
[highlight="HTML 4.01 Strict"]

 Increase Text Size

 Decrease Text Size

 Print this page

 Sitemap

(I created the listcolutilities2 designation so I could use separate IDs instead of the original "listcolutilities" classes, thinking it might be an issue with the original class being superseded by link classes later on in the CSS. Haven't changed it back, and it didn't seem to make a difference.)
The only difference I can see is the placeholder links: `<a href="#">` Changing them to actual URLs, such as `foobar.com`, solves the problem. However, I can't change the # placeholders in these three, because they don't actually go anywhere, but trigger behaviors -- increasing font size, decreasing font size, and printing.
And just for more fun, inserting a `!important` in this line:
color: #333;
"fixes" the problem, but also forces a color change in the first row of links in the footer.
To quote Stomme, I be confuzled. Why would a # placeholder link send IE into a snit? And how can I fix it?
Hi, the white color links are set later in the CSS file then the #333 color link and as a result (they have same specificity it looks like) IE6 is using that.
Place that code you have later in the source file (after the #headerlink a stuff)
Specificity, that was the word I wanted. I thought it might be something along those lines. IE6 just can't keep its link colors within their designated classes, it seems.... A much easier fix than the last one, thanks.
Still don't get it but whateer lol :). I'm slow with that stuff. Anything non CSS .
You're welcome
Max, just a quick note: In a high resolution (like mine) the header (etc) doesn't span the full width of the page, yet the search and social network function does, meaning the design looks slightly wonky on that side (as it's floating out there like an island on it's own). The footer suffers a similar offset problem!
Mph. What display are you using? Got any ideas on resolving those?
I use 1366 x 768 (Wide-screen laptop). My guess (Without looking at the code) is you have absolute positioning on the right hovering element and a fixed width value to the main body of content (overflowing), you would need to either use CSS floats so it's contained within the content or make the content span 100% width
It's not going out past 1200px because of hte max-width set on the body
You realise that all visited links are being styled here and not just the listcolutilities ones?
#listcolutilities a:link, [B]a:visited[/B],
#listcolutilities2 a:link, [B]a:visited[/B] {
color: #333;
border-bottom: none;
}
It should be of course:
#listcolutilities a:link,[B]#listcolutilities a:visited,[/B]
#listcolutilities2 a:link,[B]#listcolutilities2 a:visited [/B]{
color: #333;
border-bottom: none;
Paul walked me through fixing something like this a few months ago; being the chucklehead I am, I made the same error this time around. :goof: Also fixed the listutilities link, and the searchbox positioning issue, using float:right and a negative top margin. Made those changes (along with getting rid of the social icons -- client doesn't want 'em). It seems to work in a higher display now. What do you guys think?
If this passes muster, I'm just going to center the content and let it be until I get some material from the client to begin putting the whole site together.
It seems very stable, I went thorugh and did a minor test on it (not very thourough) but it seems to be a very well built page!
Very nice lookin' too
Well, thank you, kind sir. I blush, I simper. If you or anyone wants to put it through more rigorous testing, please do. I'd like it to be bulletproof!
I actually wonder if the design/color scheme isn't a bit bland, but I'm going to wait for the client to take a look and give me some input before I go a-tweaking. It will more than likely end up in Website Reviews, where all the guys whose designs I diss can have their revenge. :lol:

Fly-fishing on the Pinware River11 Dec 2013
If Pinware described its campsites as having hot and cold running water with food nearby, they really couldn't be accused of lying. Measuring just 68 hectares and bordered by the Pinware River on one side and the Strait of Belle Isle on the other, it's one of Labrador's hidden gems, renowned for its trout and salmon fishing (running water, food nearby: get it?).
What to feed a hungry angler... Fish, perhaps?15 Apr 2013
Trevor Pilgrim of Mayflower Adventures in Roddickton, NL, believes in giving his guests a hearty breakfast before he takes them out salmon fishing. One of his favourite haunts is Beaver Brook and its world-famous limestone cave, known as the Underground Salmon Pool.

If you've ever written scripts in Designer, you will have noticed that the default scripting language is FormCalc which is a problem if you need to (or prefer) to write your scripts in JavaScript.
The easiest way to make sure that all your new scripts default to the JavaScript language is to use the Form Properties dialog and set JavaScript as the default scripting language (in the Defaults tab). The problem with this setting is that it affects only the current form. If you're like me, you create lots of forms every day, you constantly forget that the default scripting language is FormCalc and you only remember once you're running your form and you get a FormCalc error message box in Acrobat telling you that your syntax is incorrect. How annoying!
Fortunately, there's a way to set JavaScript as the default scripting language for all new forms — based on a specific template. The default setting for the scripting language is actually specified as a processing instruction in the XML Source. If you create a new document and go to the XML Source tab, you'll find the following processing instruction set as a child of the <template> element (also shown in the image below):
<?templateDesigner DefaultLanguage FormCalc?>
Since all new documents created in Designer are based on templates and that each template comes with its own set of processing instructions, modifying the processing instruction in the template would effectively modify the default scripting language on all new forms based on that template. Going one step further and making that modified template your default template would ensure makes things even easier when you're creating new forms.
Fortunately, you don't have go to the XML Source view to modify this processing instruction. Instead, you can set its value using the Form Properties dialog (accessible via the File menu): In the Defaults tab, set the Default Language property to "JavaScript".
Modifying Designer Templates
In Designer, you use the Template Manager to organize your templates. You can access the Template Manager from the Tools menu.
To modify a template, you can follow these easy steps:
- Create a new document based on the template you wish to modify.
- Make the necessary modifications (like setting the processing instruction for the default scripting language setting to "JavaScript").
- Save the new document as an "Adobe LiveCycle Designer Template (*.tds)" file. If you want to replace an existing template (say "Letter"), use that same name as the file name for the new (modified) template file you're saving.
- Using the Template Manager, select the tab pertaining to the group in which you want to add your new template. If you're wanting to replace the "Letter" template, for example, select the "Standard" tab.
- Right-click in the list panel and select "Add Template…". Select the template you just saved and it'll be added to Designer's "template store". Note that if the name of your new template file is the same as an existing template in the group you selected (e.g. the "Letter" template in the "Standard" group), you'll be prompted to overwrite the existing template.
One important thing to note in the way Designer handles templates is that any template file you add to the Template Manager gets copied into the "template store" which means that new documents based on that template aren't actually based on the template file in the location where you saved it but rather on the copy that was placed in the "template store".
If you're wondering what the "template store" is, it's actually a folder inside Designer's Application Data folder on your system. While I don't encourage you to look in there (because you might see things that look interesting but you shouldn't be playing with ;), if you find them, then you should also be able to open them directly in Designer and modify them without having to create a separate copy.
