By replacing your older furnace or heating system with a more efficient model, you may be able to reduce your heating bills, while helping to conserve our energy resources.
Depending on your home's unique situation and heating needs, there may be many options from which to choose. Let an ARS®/Rescue Rooter® professional help you decide on the right furnace for your home. To find out more, contact ARS/Rescue Rooter at 866-399-2885 to schedule a no-cost analysis of the benefits and savings of replacing your furnace.
A dual-fuel heat pump is an electric heat pump and a gas furnace all in one. In areas of the country where temperatures are typically above freezing and that have low electric rates, a heat pump is generally the most efficient way to heat your home. In those few instances when the temperature drops below freezing, a gas furnace typically provides heat more economically. By combining the two, you can have the benefits of both systems.
Dual-fuel heat pump systems costs about $600 to $1,000 more than conventional heating and cooling systems because you're getting essentially two systems in one. But the amount you'll save in the next two to three years from lower heating costs can more than make up the difference you spend on this versatile system.
To learn more, contact ARS®/Rescue Rooter® at 866-399-2885 to schedule a no-cost analysis of the benefits and savings of replacing your system.
Ductless heating and cooling systems can be a good choice for room additions where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not feasible, and for older homes without air ducts.
A ductless HVAC system operates like a conventional heat pump. The difference is that instead of a single indoor unit distributing heated or cooled air through ductwork, a ductless mini-split system has multiple small units serving individual rooms or zones.
The main advantages of mini-splits are their small size and flexibility for heating and cooling individual rooms. Many models can have up to four indoor air-handling units connected to one outdoor unit. Each zone has its own thermostat, so you can condition each space individually, potentially saving energy and money. The biggest disadvantage of ductless mini-split systems is their cost, which can be about 30% more than central systems and may cost twice as much as window units of similar capacity.

These units use the constant temperature of the earth as the exchange medium instead of the outside air temperature. Since the ground temperature is warmer than the air above it during the winter, and cooler than the air in the summer, geothermal heat pumps exchange heat with the earth to heat and cool your home, providing a geothermal air conditioning and heating system.
Compared to air-source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps are more efficient, quieter, last longer, need little maintenance, and do not depend on the temperature of the outside air.
Even though the installation price of a geothermal system can be several times that of an air-source system of the same heating and cooling capacity, the additional costs are returned to you in energy savings in 5 to 10 years. Note that the installation of a geothermal air conditioning and heating system depends on the size of your lot, your subsoil and your landscape.
Another option, a dual-source heat pump, combines a standard air-source heat pump with a geothermal heat pump. These appliances combine the best of both systems. Dual-source heat pumps have higher efficiency ratings than air-source units, but are not as efficient as geothermal units. The main advantage of dual-source systems is that they cost much less to install than a single geothermal unit, and work almost as well.
In a mild climate, a heat pump system may be your best option for effective and efficient heat.
A heat pump is simply an air conditioner that can switch to become a heating unit. When air conditioners process refrigerants such as Freon, they create a tremendous amount of heat. The heat pump simply reverses part of the process to extract and distribute that heat throughout the home.
Heat pumps are generally very energy-efficient for central heating in climates where the temperature is somewhat mild. However, if the outside temperature falls below 37°F, heat pumps need to run constantly to maintain warmth.
Dual-fuel systems use an electric heat pump during milder temperatures (above freezing) along with a gas furnace during cold weather. This solution has become a popular solution for maximum comfort.
Zone heating and cooling systems allow you to control the temperature in each part of the home. Zoning can be accomplished in different ways by installing multiple comfort systems to heat and cool different parts of the home. For example, you could add supplemental heating sources such as space heaters or gas fireplaces.
Another option is to use a single furnace with mechanical zone dampers installed in the ductwork to direct the airflow only to where it's needed.
If done properly, zone heating and cooling systems can help save on energy costs because they are operating only to boost or lower the temperature in areas where needed. But as with any heating and/or cooling system, the key to achieving maximum energy efficiency and comfort is professional system design and proper installation.
If you've ever felt the warmth of a stove from across the room, you've experienced radiant heat. Radiant heat systems work by running heating elements, usually under the floor but sometimes through the ceiling or walls.
Radiant heating is growing in popularity because of its efficiency. Unlike forced air heat for example, no energy is lost through ducts. The lack of moving air can also be advantageous to people with severe allergies.
Electric radiant heating is more costly, but may make sense for additions onto homes for which it would be impractical to extend the heating system into the addition. However, homeowners should examine other options, such as mini-split heat pumps, which operate more efficiently and have the advantage of also providing cooling.
Radiant heating is very consistent and comfortable, and may be an option for a new home. However, because these systems usually have to be installed in the home's floor, they are quite costly and tend to be only appropriate for dry climates.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Residents in San Marco are on alert after a rash of burglaries in the area.
A number of residents contacted Channel 4 to say recent crimes have made them concerned about safety in the neighborhood.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office crime mapping tool, more than 100 burglaries occurred within a one mile radius in the area in 2012.
Resident Jane Moore said the number of burglaries is alarming. Moore said she knows a police officer who looks for thieves in the neighborhood.
"The gentleman who's a friend of mine, he's a police officer who lives here," said Moore. "So I know he's always looking for people who don't belong. He's always watching out."
With the advice of Channel 4's Crime Analyst Ken Jefferson, a walk through the neighborhood revealed incentives for crooks. For example, a flat screen television box was out in the trash for curbside pickup. Jefferson said this is a bad idea.
"Advertising to the thieves that I just bought a flat screen TV... When I'm not home, come and get it," said Jefferson. "In the San Marco neighborhood, there are a lot of beautiful homes there, people like to show off their stuff. There is nothing wrong with that, but you've got to know when to close your drapes," said Jefferson.

PHILADELPHIA - For the second straight game, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team dominated an Ivy opponent at The Palestra. Penn posted its largest victory over Cornell since 1981 and improved its winning streak to four with a 67-40 win over the Big Red on Friday night.
With their first season sweep of Cornell since 2009, the Quakers (13-9, 6-2 Ivy) matched last year's overall and Ivy win totals. Penn remained unbeaten at home against the Ivy League (3-0) and has now won six of its last seven games.
The Quakers are winning with dominance. To start this four-game win streak, Penn posted its second-largest win in the all-time series against Brown and then registered the program's most lopsided win over Dartmouth of all-time last Saturday. Tonight, Penn's 27-point win over the Big Red was its largest since defeating Cornell, 74-26, on Jan. 31, 1981.
Penn led from wire-to-wire. Junior Alyssa Baron started the scoring with a three and the Quakers built an early 11-4 lead over the first five minutes.
Both defenses dominated the next few minutes. Each team managed just one basket and Penn led 14-6 after a three from sophomore Renee Busch at the midway point of the half.
Cornell (11-11, 3-5 Ivy) was within 16-11, but Penn's bench provided a spark. Senior captain Brianna Bradford, junior Courtney Wilson and Busch - who hit her second three of the half - combined for a quick 7-0 run and a 23-11 lead with 3:57 until the break.
The lead grew to as many as 14, 27-13, on a jumper from sophomore Kathleen Roche and the Quakers held a 30-17 advantage at the intermission.
The Big Red scored the first four of the second half and were quickly back within single digits.
But Penn struck back. Leading by 10, 35-25, Penn scored 12 of the next 14 points. Sophomore Kara Bonenberger had three straight buckets and freshman Keiera Ray capped the run with a pair of free throws for a commanding 47-27 lead with 12:24 to play.
The Quakers never looked back. In fact, the lead grew. A layup from Bradford made it a 25-point game, 58-33, at the 6:28 mark. When Wilson knocked down a jumper with 3:51 left, Penn held its largest lead of the season, 64-35.
Senior captain Katie Davis added her first three points of the year to cap Penn's largest Ivy League victory under head coach Mike McLaughlin.
Baron led the Quakers with 11 points and Bonenberger was in double digits for the 11th time this year with 10 points. Baron had another complete night with eight rebounds and six assists. Bonenberger added six rebounds. Ray and Bradford each finished with nine points, while sophomore Katy Allen and Roche had six apiece. Wilson had seven points, two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 17 minutes of the bench.
Penn was 26-of-57 (45.6%) from the field, while the Big Red were 14-of-52 (26.9%), including 0-for-10 from three. Penn was 8-of-21 (38.1%) from beyond the arc. Penn won the rebounding battle, 39-32 and forced 17 turnovers. The Quakers had 20 assists which was the most since hitting that number in a win over Dartmouth on Feb. 24, 2012. Penn's bench outscored the Big Red's substitutes, 25-7.
Penn wraps up a four-game homestand Saturday night against Columbia. Tip off from The Palestra is set for 7 p.m. Prior to the game, Penn will welcome back a number of former Quakers for the annual Red vs. Blue Alumni game.

Water, Water Everywhere, But State Parks Still Going Strong
AUSTIN, Texas — August is usually one of Texas' hottest months, parching the landscape and shrinking the state's lake and rivers. This year it is shaping up to be one of the best months for getting outdoors.
Despite continuing storms and some flooding that have wreaked havoc with a few state parks, such as Mother Neff near Waco and Palmetto near Gonzales, most Texas state parks are open for business and sporting an atypical lush look.
State park officials report, too, that flowing rivers and full lakes are bringing out legions of boaters and anglers. They caution, however, that visitors engaging in water sports should be ever-vigilant of floating hazards and other dangers brought on by high water. But the upside of summer's torrential rains outweighs the negatives in most parts of the state.
"Last year at this time, our state was experiencing terrible drought conditions almost everywhere," said Walt Dabney, director of Texas state parks. "While this year's rains have certainly reduced visitation on some weekends, Spring Break and recent holidays, when the rains resume a more normal pattern, the parks are going to be the greenest and the rivers and lakes the best they've been in many years. It should make for an outstanding park experience."
At Garner, one of the state's most popular parks, Superintendent Craig VanBaarle reports that despite periodic heavy rains and a little mud, campers have been enjoying swimming and tubing on the Frio River, which has been running four to six inches above normal most of the summer. The usual four-hour float trip is now taking only two hours, he said.
"Visitors are advised and pulled off the river during floods, but everything returns to normal within a couple of days," VanBaarle said. "This has been a good year for river activities, but a bad year for occasional heavy showers and a little mud in camping areas. All in all, our park visitors have been a bit inconvenienced, but they're having a whole lot of fun."
East Texas parks, too, have had their share of heavy rain, but it hasn't been all bad news for water recreation, according to Ellen Buchanan, regional director of Texas state parks in Tyler. "We are green and beautiful, and the fish are biting," she said, adding that all the East Texas lakes are at or above pool level.
Buchanan noted, for example, that Cooper Lake northeast of Dallas, which was down 18 feet in December, is full again. And, she said that Lake Bob Sandlin State Park's boat ramps, which had been closed all spring and half the summer due to low water levels, are operational.
Even in West Texas, which can be quite parched and hot this time of year, regional state park director Mike Hill reports cactus blossoms are the showiest in decades and grasslands are looking great.
"Images from the movie 'Giant' not withstanding," Hill said, "the grasslands in West Texas are green, green, green. Purple sage has already started blooming around Devils River State Natural Area and Seminole Canyon State Park and promises to put on a spectacular display for weeks to come."
Though stormy weather has caused temporary weather closures at Kickapoo Cavern State Park and Devil's River State Natural Area, cooler temperatures are making visits to Big Bend Ranch State Park near Presidio and Davis Mountains State Park, both of which sit at above 4,800 feet elevation, quite pleasant.
"West Texas parks are open for business," Hill said.
For Texas anglers, the higher-than-normal rainfall throughout much of the state is good news, said Dr. Gary Garrett, a fisheries biologist for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
"Floods," Garrett explained, "are natural events and fishes can move to new habitats and re-colonize areas they could not get to before, such as upstream of small dams. Heavy rains also add nutrients into streams, help clean them out and reset the environment."

The Bikecast Episode #39: The War on Drugs and the "Winding Up of Violence"
The war on drugs, like all wars, is actually a war on people. It has an endless list of disastrous and tragic social consequences that reaches to the very heavens. In this episode of the bikecast, I focus on one of the most pernicious and long lasting effects of this type of psychotic state program–what I call the "winding up of violence".
By applying ever-increasing levels of force in an attempt to control voluntary human interactions, international drug policy weeds out all but the most lunatic element of the black market. It then makes this element very, very, very rich and gives them monopoly on the use of violence over a geographical region (just like their larger counterpart, the state!). Even if the drug war were to end tomorrow, the violence in places like the U.S. – Mexico border will take decades of ongoing human misery to wind down.
Download this episode of the bikecast
Prohibiting commodities of any sort has two effects that I want to concentrate on. First, it tends to remove peaceful, honest business-people from the production and distribution processes. For obvious reasons, most farmers won't grow that which is illegal and most distributors (pharmacists in many instances related to the drug war) won't stock illegal products. The exceptions to this tendency are people who don't have good prospects in the conduct of legal business. People who are already distrusted, who have a tendency toward violent dealings or who otherwise prefer not to rely on the legal market will fill the spots vacated in the newly criminalized market sector.
The greater the degree of prohibition, the more this tendency will increase. At the level of open warfare that exists between the drug cartels and the north and central american states[1], only the most desperate and brutal criminal elements are willing to risk traffic large amounts of product. All but the most casual growers and sellers face threats so large that any reasonable alternative source of income is preferable.
The second effect that I want to look at is that prohibition drives the price of the commodity artificially high because of the new overhead of avoiding or bribing law enforcement and the associated risk of imprisonment and death.
One result of the price increase is that it becomes profitable to grow the market for the illegal substance in a way that it previously was not. If a drug costs a few cents per dose, it's not (very) profitable to try and get another customer interested in long term use of the drug.
Once the price goes up to dollars or tens of dollars per dose, the seller has a much greater motivation to seek out new customers. Thus the salesman, who formerly served existing customers becomes a "pusher" who gives away free samples and travels from schoolyard to schoolyard attempting to maximize his customer base.
The consequence of price increase that I want to focus on for this discussion is a far more primary effect. Whoever gains control over part of the market for an illegal substance has an artificially inflated source of wealth with which to grow and protect the operation. Again, the greater the effort put into prohibition, the greater the increase in price.
Over time, the interaction of these two factors leads to large, well armed, and ruthless organizations with a steady stream of tremendous wealth. This is what we see today on the us-mexican border, in columbia and afghanistan[2].
These changes have taken place over a period of decades and the misery will continue to escalate in response to further increases in the violence used for prohibition.
The aspect of this dynamic that I focus on in the bikecast is the hangover after the flow of energy to such a system is halted. If the war on drugs was to end tomorrow, the organizations that traffic drugs illegally aren't going to go away. They will continue to search for ways to exploit their position as the best armed group of thugs in the region in ways that will plague the communities/regions they've claimed for years and decades to come.
The longer prohibition escalates, the more wealth and power accrue to the most ruthless of drug organizations, and the longer the period of "wind down" to normalcy will last.
This same phenomenon also occurs in foreign military occupations. In Vietnam, relatively diplomatic and scholarly nationalists seeking independence for French Indochina were imprisoned and suppressed. This left increasingly violent guerrilla leaders as the only opponents of western imperialism. After 30 years of continuous warfare, the peasant armies that carrying antiquated armaments in the 1940s were heavily armed, well trained, and lead by a ruthless political class.
What might have been a bloodless transfer of power to a nationalist government or a minor and short lived civil war in 1945 was instead a bloody internal conflict after the south fell. Violent, radical collectivization and centralized economic control in the hands of the revolutionary leadership lead to untold violence and generated millions of refugees. It's remarkable, given the degree of brutality with which the vietnamese were treated that they recovered relative stability within a couple of decades.
Currently we're watching a decade long windup in afghanistan and another in iraq, plus a 20 year windup in somalia and another underway in yemen. The flawed logic of increasing violence until stability is reached is killing not only the present well being, but the future chances of stability in the societies cursed by foreign occupation.
I go into more detail about the winding up of violence (along with a pained analogy) vis à vis foreign wars in a supplementary bikecast that I didn't like enough to put into the general stream. It's here if you'd like to listen. This is the intro paragraph for the podcast:
I want to apologize in advance for the analogy in this episode of the bikecast. Every now and then I have to indulge my inner dork. I flesh out the concept of the "winding up of violence" that we talked about in the last bikecast. Much as heat will tend to "even out" throughout a closed system, violence tends to dissipate when the resources energizing it are removed. Violence is expensive and unsustainable and, left in isolation, violent situations quickly flame out as the particpants exhaust themselves and are compelled to seek compromise and reconciliation.
Unfortunately, this winding down cannot begin until the "energy sources" fueling the conflict are removed. Thus on the U.S.-Mexican border, as well as around the world where the United States (and to a far lesser degree other large nation-states) provide weapons, wealth and motivation to violent conflicts, the distance between the current situations and "normalcy" grows larger every day. The longer the winding up of violence, the longer and more painful the winding down.

Roadworks in Kingston which have caused misery for commuters over the last week will not be completed until Sunday, Kingston Council has said.
Temporary traffic lights at College Roundabout have caused tailbacks along Penrhyn Road and through the one-way system as water pipes are installed at the new 1 Penrhyn Road student flats development.
The work was due to finish tomorrow.
Kingston Council said today the work would continue until Sunday night, June 8, with new diversions in place to get rid of temporary lights at the roundabout.
Penrhyn Road will be one way towards Surbiton between College Roundabout and Denmark Road.
Kingston-bound traffic will be diverted via Surbiton Road, Portsmouth Road, High Street and Kingston Hall Road. St James Road will also be fully reopened.
Kingston Council said today: "We have reviewed the traffic management in place and have agreed to alter it so that the requirement for temporary traffic signals at College Roundabout is removed.
"The works are now due to be completed by Sunday, June 8. This is a result of a revised timeline for the works completion, along with the need to remove the site crane, which also requires traffic management to be in place."

http://www.rotoworld.com/content/pla...rt=NFL&id=2251The Boston Herald reports that the Patriots have agreed to terms with DE/LB Adalius Thomas. He still has to pass a physical Saturday.
The Patriots last made a big free agent splash with Rosevelt Colvin, another edge rusher. New England may be the one team who can utilize Thomas' various skills even more creatively than Baltimore. The 29-year-old will give the Patriots more options with their multiple formations and bolsters weak spot on the defense. Mike Vrabel could play inside more often now.

Grove City College Department of Accounting graduates are in the top tier when it comes to taking their CPA exams. The College's accounting graduates ranked number 22 in the nation on the 2012 CPA Examination among medium-sized programs, a category that included a total of 260 institutions. Grove City College graduates' pass rate was nearly 20 points higher than the national average for medium-sized programs, which are defined as those with between 21 and 60 candidates sitting for the exam on an annual basis."These results are not surprising given the bright young men and women that we work with on a daily basis and their dedication to achieving the professional goal of CPA licensure," Dr. David Baglia, department chair, said.The rankings were released earlier this year by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, which serves as a forum for the nation's Boards of Accountancy, which administer the Uniform CPA Examination, license more than 700,000 certified public accountants and regulate the practice of public accountancy in the United States.

Well it's been awhile since I posted anything…I've had a hard time dealing with the loss of my Opa and with Omi still in the hospital things have been pretty hectic on our end. I've been working on moving all their accounts into my Omi's name as well as working on a DVD slideshow of his life to play when we have the Celebration of Life. On a positive note, Omi was moved to a rehab hospital on Friday March 18th and has been getting better every day. Hopefully she will be able to come home soon. I need to start getting back to normal day-to-day life and hopefully that will help me feel better as well. This is my first big family loss so its hit me pretty hard. My grandparents were such a big part of my life and the kid's lives that it's so hard to imagine that Opa won't be a part of their lives anymore. I know I will always have my memories, but the kids are so young that Hayden might have a memory or two, but Bevin won't remember him at all. I put a framed picture of Opa with them from Christmas 2009 in each of their rooms and every day I ask Bevin who's in the picture and she tells me "Opa!"
Bevin is still getting her shots on a weekly basis and the past two weeks I have given her the shot, all by myself! I was so proud of the two of us for accomplishing shot night just the two of us (normally someone has to hold her down while the other administers the shot). She is still quite squirmy, but I managed it. The weather was pretty crappy the last week or so (really rainy) so her JRA was acting up a little and she kept telling us her right knee was hurting her, but the past few days she seems to be doing a little better.
We are still working on the Recycling Fundraiser and as of our last donation drop off on Saturday March 19th we have raised a total of $182.71 just from recyclables! Hopefully after the next drop off we will break $200. Total the team has raised $1085!!! This being the first year we have participated in the walk I'm very proud of our donation accomplishment. My team goal started out at $500 and I am so proud that we have not only surpassed the original goal, but more than doubled it with more than a month to go until Walk Day. I don't know how some teams raise $5,000, $10,000 or even $15,000 between working, raising kids, etc, but I know I am damn proud to have raised $1085! J
Hayden helping to turn in the recyclables
We are having team T-shirts made as well; the T-shirt guy we are working with is giving us a great deal on the team shirts! If anyone wants one I will need to know how many and the size, the shirts will be $10 per shirt. We do need to let the T-shirt guy know the number of shirts and sizes ASAP and so please let me know right away if you want one.
Bevin will go in for more labs in apx 3-4 weeks and another follow-up appointment. We are still waiting for the new Rheumatologist to come in (apx August) so in the mean time we are still being seen by her pediatrician, which is just fine with me because he is AWESOME!
One really cool thing that happened was a week or so before Opa died, I received a friend request on Facebook from a girl asking if Klaus Gerbe was my grandpa because he was her grandpa's brother. Turns out she is Opa's great-niece, Nadine, and she had found my mom and I by searching Opa's name online! I've never met anyone from my Opa's family except his sister because they all still live in Germany. And it was so coincidental that she contacted me when she did. Opa's sister died in 2007, but he has 2 brothers, Peter and Rainer, and Rainer is Nadine's Opa. My mom and her dad, Bert, had spent time together when my mom had traveled to Germany in the past so it was such a cool thing that she found us. Nadine and I have been staying in constant contact ever since. I love having this connection to Opa's family.

(im actually more of a programmer than an artist hehe) I customized the gimp brush so it would operate 10 times faster at opacity 1%. all i do is have a background of peach, then i apply translucent dark yellow at a very translucent rate. (my program speeds up the additive process by 10 times, so you get it done pretty quickly) it ends up making it red! then i apply cyan a little on the top and it gives the skin a golden feel. Thats about it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ke$ha's in a Bikini Again. I'm Sorry.
Because apparently it's Horrible, Unholy Asses That Should Make You Curse Your Mother For Giving You Eyes Week on The Superficial, here's Ke$ha in a bikini again which as I recall, is your favorite. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to explain to my grandfather that he wasn't wearing a blonde wig in Australia this morning despite these photos looking exactly like his naked body. Poor bastard's beside himself.

Sorry. I've been experimenting with putting audio up on the blog the way Sam and Jane used to do it, but ran into a little snag. So hope to get it worked out by Saturday's game on Long Island … or by the home opener.
Anyway, back to transcribing the old way. Here are some of today's quotes (Tortorella to follow):
Brad Richards:
On the power play practice:
"We're trying to get a good foundation, a basis, so we can build on it. That's what you're doing out there today."
"It just feels like we're back in the normal flow. It's a little different type of week for the regular season but we're getting back to work. We watched a little video today, and getting ready for the Islanders. It feels like the regular season now. We've got another game coming up and another road trip, and everything's just going to start flowing normally."
"We were able to handle it. I'm sure we'll grow a lot from it, and we got a lot of good time together. Your teammates, after a long summer, not seeing them, especially for me (being new), being around them so much, around the staff, seeing them quite a bit, we'll all come together a lot quicker, a lot closer, because of it. There's goods and bads. It is what it is. We got two points out of four, and we could have gotten two points out of four in our own building. You never know. So we're moved past that. We're looking forward now."
On playing with Gaborik:
"I think it helps (to stay together). Ideally you're winning and you keep your line together when it's flowing. But over 82 games it doesn't always happen. It just so happened the first couple of games, we're not clicking and we have some different looks. I've done a lot of that over the years. That's the type of coach he is, and I've played for other coaches who do the same. You can't have no goals and five, six chances in a game and not try to change something up. That's just how it is."
Ryan McDonagh:
"It's good to work on our team structure a little bit more so we can really get down to the details a little more and start to focus on that so it just becomes natural and we just play."
"I've always looked at every game like I'm just going to try my best whenever they call my name. I'm just going to go out and play my hardest. Obviously I knew when they paired me with Danny that we were going to go against their top line so you have to be a little more focused and pay attention to where you are on the ice positionally and try and not give the forwards a lot of space to create. So in that sense, playing with Danny's been great. Looking forward to the next game, for sure."
"It's awesome. Every team I've played with I've done my best to help the team win. If that means playing more, that's awesome."
"(Girardi) is a pretty simple player out there. He's very vocal and always sound positionally. He's always got his head up. He always knows what he's going ot do with the puck as soon as he gets it. So working with him is awesome. He's always helping me out, letting me know if I've got time, or if I've got a guy on me. Hopefully we can continue to work and get better and help this team win."
Henrik Lundqvist:
"It was a lot of fun, but it was also very intense, active. I have a lot of great memories. I thought it was an unbelievable trip for me personally, and also it was fun. It's good to be back, to get these couple of days here, good practice, slow down here a little bit and get ready for the Islanders and then a big road trip again."
"We get more practice time. We didn't have much practice in Europe — a lot of games, travel — so to get back here and be able to focus on practice is important for us to improve. I think everybody had a great time, but I also think guys are happy to be back, back to their routines and the preparation."
"It was pretty intense in a lot of ways, so emotional, and physically, it was a challenging trip. It was a fun trip. But this week, I feel great about being back and getting a couple of days of practice as well as some days off to take everything in and get ready for the next couple of weeks here."
On the changeup in the shootout:
"Yeah, what can I say? I felt like I had it. I felt it was going there, glove side, I locked my leg and glove and as soon as he missed it, I could just feel like I was in trouble and there was no way I could go back with my leg."

It's worth spending a little time thinking about some of the legal aspects of selling your house before you launch into the sale. Some of the issues you should think about are listed below. And to make it easier for you, have a look at our Seller's Checklist.
Private sale or auction?
Good question. This will depend on a whole lot of factors, including the state of the market, the interest or potential interest in your property, whether you are in a rush to sell and so on.
If you are unsure, get advice. The best way is to ask a number of agents in your area, or friends who have sold a home in the area.
Features of auctions
Some of the features, which may influence your decision, include:
- competitive bidding;
- sale is made once the hammer falls;
- certainty of a set date for the sale, assuming the reserve is reached;
- allows for further negotiation with unsuccessful bidders if the reserve is not reached;
- may suit properties in highly desirable areas where competition between buyers is high.
Buyers look to undertake many types of strategies when bidding for a house at auction. Don't be afraid to ask the agent how the auction will unfold.
Remember, selling a house at auction is likely to make you very anxious. The auction process is fast-paced, ruthless and anxiety ridden for most people (buyer and seller).
Features of private sale
Some of the features, which may influence your decision, include:
plenty of time to look at each potential buyer;extended period for sale;buyer doesn't know what the seller believes is the right price;no auction costs.
The sale price
What will be your magic figure? There are a number of ways you can try and get a feel for your top and bottom figures:
- Follow the sale prices in your area and get a sense of how marketable your property will be.
- Visit other auctions of comparable properties.
- Ask a number of agents for an assessment (see the next sub-topic regarding quoting prices).
- Get a formal valuation from a qualified valuer - this costs money!
- Make sure that your sale price covers the pay-out of your mortgage and any other costs - agent's fees, legal fees, etc.
Setting a price
At the bottom line, despite the advice you take, you will have to decide what price (or auction reserve) will apply to your property. In general the price is determined by a combination of:
- location;
- size of property;
- the age of the premises;
- state of the premises;
- the style;
- interest rates;
- property availability;
- buyer demand;
Most potential sellers study the local market and auction results to get an idea of a suitable price. These are available in the newspapers. Of course an estate agent will be prepared to offer guidance, with no obligation to engage the agent. You can also seek other views. It is also possible to employ a registered valuer, but this attracts a fee.
Researching on the internet
Everyone takes out the magnifying glass and rifles through the newspaper auction results, but it is also well worth taking a tour through one or more of the many internet real estate sites.
Some have complex database information sales and median house prices.This is also often true of the State real estate institutes sites. Some offer a "property report" for a negligible sum, some offer a free valuation by suburb, but you may have to register your details.
It's not possible to determine the accuracy of the sites, you must satisfy yourself whether they are of any real assistance.
What is included?
Many buyers take it for granted that everything they see in the property will be included in the sale. This is not necessarily true.
It is up to you to decide what will be specifically excluded in the contract. Buyers will usually assume (but it is subject to the contract) that an attachment like a burglar alarm or curtains is part of the property and be included in the sale price.
The contrary is also usually true, so if it's not attached it is more likely not to be included. In that case you will want to ensure that the item is specifically included in the contract as part of the sale.
If there is any doubt about an item, attached or not, make it certain! Some considerations include the:
- curtains;
- blinds;
- burglar alarm;
- washing machine, refrigerator and other white goods;
- light fittings;
- television aerial;
- awnings;
- clothes line;
- above ground pool and equipment etc.
Legal advice?
At some stage you will need to decide who will do your conveyancing. We talk about the options in our "Conveyancing – what to do?" fact sheet.
It's well worthwhile making this decision early as there are a number of preliminary services you could ask for that can make this entire process easier and possibly cheaper.
For example:
- Advice about the authority you will be asked to sign by the agent. This may result in negotiating terms with the agent that could save you down the track.
- Advice about what is needed to prepare a draft contract, ie, the warranties and disclosure documents that must be provided.
- Advice about potential problems if you have done work to the property, e.g. renovations.Checking with your bank about any early repayment fees.
Who does the selling?
Once you decide to sell your house, you need to decide who will do the selling.
You can do it yourself, but this may not be time effective. You will need to allow for preparing advertisements, placing these in newspapers, organising a billboard, showing interested buyers through the house and preparing initial documents.
It is also possible to hire an auctioneer for auction day.
Choosing an agent
Amongst others, there are a number of factors you should consider when choosing an agent:
- What is their track record in your area?
- What is the advertising strategy – have they had any properties in the special classified sections of the newspapers?
- What are their advertising costs?
- Check out their website. If you are selling by auction - see what their auctioneers are like - go to some auctions and check out their style.
- Will they negotiate fees?
- What is their commission rate?
- Is it negotiable?
- What other conditions will they negotiate?
- What's your "impression" – would you buy a property from this person?
- Do they understand your property and your needs?
- Are they subject to a professional Code of Ethics and in what way is the agent accountable for the conduct?
- What is their strategy to obtain the best price for your home.
- How long is the intended listing?
- Remember you can appoint more than one agent.
Some commentators suggest it is worthwhile to "interview" a local agent by presenting yourself as a potential buyer to test their presentation skills.
Using an agent
If you decide to use an agent, you will be asked to sign a contract/authority. The types of contract/authority are different in each State/Territory.
Keep in mind that these agreements may not be drafted in your favour. Make sure you read the documents and if you don't understand them, get legal advice.
Agents' fees
Agents' fees are not regulated by any law - so feel free to negotiate.
Make sure you ask about advertising costs. The agent may get a discount for news classifieds and you may be able to negotiate to have this discount passed onto you (in some States an agent is not allowed to keep an advertising rebate).
Be careful to ensure you understand what you are getting for your fee. For example, does it include advertising costs, or some aspect of the advertising? What about other types of promotion? Does it include open house inspections?
Remember, if you don't know what is included in the fee you may not be in a position to determine what is the best service and commensurate fee. In other words, ensure that you are comparing "apples with apples".
What's in the agency agreement?
Depending on your local laws, the agency agreement may include:
- the agent's authority to act for you and its scope e.g. can the agent exchange a sale contract on your behalf?;
- what types of services you will receive from the agent;
- the sums of fees or commission you agree to pay – remember your right to negotiate;
- the timing and rights of the agent to receive payments of fees and commissions;
- when payment can be received e.g. can the agent deduct their commission from the deposit money paid by the buyer?;
- an estimated selling price or price range.
Generally the agreement will be for a fixed term, or if not, will explain how it can be terminated.
Types of agreements
In general there are several ways you can engage an agent – make sure you understand which is relevant to your agreement, and whether it reflects what you want:
- "Exclusive agreement" – one agent has the right to offer the property for sale.
- "Sole agreement" – this may permit you to find a buyer on your own, as well as the agent.
- "General listing" (Open agency agreement) – you may list the property with a number of agencies and pay the commission to the one who finds a buyer.
- "Multiple listing" – generally where an agent is part of a network of agents who work together.
The legal side of your relationship
You have a different type of relationship with the agent than does the buyer – remember, the agent works for you! The agent must act in your best interests.
Be aware that in some States it is illegal for the agent to "overquote" to you the potential price of the property in an effort to get your business. Check with your agent the basis for their quote, and what laws they must observe in making the quote.
Checking the title
It is your duty to give "good title" at the time the property is sold.
This means:
- that you must see that there is nothing preventing the buyer's purchase of the property; and
- that the buyer has all the documents necessary to be registered as the owner.
The title will list any person who has an interest in the property. For instance, it will name the registered mortgagee (usually a bank or similar). It will also list any caveats - a caveat is an alert that someone else claims a financial interest in the property.
Neither of these things mean the property cannot be sold, but they (especially a caveat) will need to be discharged before or at settlement.
Make sure you have either the original title or a copy of the title before you get the ball rolling. The title is the starting point for the Vendors' Statement.
The jargon
- Caveat - a warning that someone has a financial interest in the property.
- Land Titles Office - the office where all duplicate titles are lodged and kept.
- Mortgagee - the bank/finance company which lends money.
- Mortgagor - the person who borrows money.
- Purchaser - buyer.
- Strata title - this type of title is often used in units. There are slightly different requirements when you sell a strata title.
- Vendor - seller.

Another thing we should have is a page about the natures of chakra, "earth, wind, fire, water, lighting," explaining there perpose, what they are, how to generate them, as well as diagrame of them (a Picture of the chart Tezou drew for nauto in chapter 333 pages 12-13)ect. Also explaning there weak point and strong points and how there compadible to one another and if possible a small section of the yin and yang (dark and light) natures of chakra. also should wi include a section about shape recomposition? 18.104.22.168 14:47, 24 June 2008 (UTC)Sakon&Ukon
- Wind Release, Fire Release, Water Release, Earth Release, Mokuton, Hyoton. The only thing we're missing is Lightning Release. And as of now, there is no information on the whole Yang Yin thing other than thas how the demon fox's chakra was split, which is already mentioned.--TheUltimate3 15:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- ok but what if we put all of those pages into one page labeled natures of chakra aa well as put a picture of the a diagram Tenzou(yamato) drew for naruto and explan which elements are copadible with one another?22.214.171.124 16:05, 24 June 2008 (UTC)Sakon&Ukon

Chakra = body + soul . There can be also added nature (Naruto Manga 409).

Could someone explain something to me? The wizarding schools are known to keep their locations secret, correct? If I remember correctly, the exact location of Durmstrang is unknown. But Hogwarts is different. It's just southeast (?) of Hogsmeade Village. So, what's stopping other wizards, especially spies from other schools, from simple apparating to Hogsmeade and walking to the school?
I'll admit that I may be confused, and when it is said that the schools hide their locations, it meant simply from muggles. However, I believe I am recalling correctly. I also apologize if this is the incorrect place to post this in, as I am a new member here, although, the Hogsmeade discussion page was practically non-existent. Thanks. Immobulus 06:12, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- Below is an excerpt from Goblet of Fire, Ch. 11, in which the trio discuss the locations of the three known European magic schools:
- "I've never heard of it [Durmstrang]," said Ron vaguely. "Where is it? What country?"
- "Well, nobody knows, do they?" said Hermione, raising her eyebrows.
- "Er — why not?" said Harry.
- "There's traditionally been a lot of rivalry between all the magic schools. Durmstrang and Beauxbatons like to conceal their whereabouts so nobody can steal their secrets,' said Hermione matter-of-factly.
- "Come off it," said Ron, starting to laugh. "Durmstrang's got to be about the same size as Hogwarts, how are you going to hide a dirty great castle?"
- "But Hogwarts is hidden," said Hermione, in surprise, "everyone knows that... well, everyone who's read Hogwarts, A History, anyway."
- "Just you, then," said Ron. "So go on — how d'you hide a place like Hogwarts?"
- "It's betwitched," said Hermione. "If a Muggle looks at it, all they see is a mouldering old ruin with a sign over the entrance saying DANGER, DO NOT ENTER, UNSAFE."
- "So Durmstrang'll just look like a ruin to an outsider, too?"
- "Maybe," said Hermione, shrugging, "or it might have Muggle-Repelling Charms on it, like the World Cup Stadium. And to keep foreign wizards from finding it, they'll have made it Unplottable—"
- I gather from this conversation that while Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons are all under some form of anti-Muggle protection, only Durmstrang and Beauxbatons take measures to hide their locations from foreign wizards as well. It would seem that Hogwarts is not Unplottable and that it doesn't feel it necessary to conceal its location from foreign wizards. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 01:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
I must admit that I sure feel foolish now, because the thought never occurred to me that Hogwarts simply isn't unplottable.... Immobulus 03:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

function f1(){
var n=999;
function f2(){
alert(n); // 999
is the function f2() a closure? if not? why?
what's and use of a closure.could you depict it in your own words. thank you
It's not a closure. It's just a function declaration.
If the f1 function returned a reference to the f2 function, that returned f2 function will then form a closure over the variables from the f1 function.
Here's the best explanation of closure that I've come across.How do JavaScript closures work?
your mean that if i call the f1(). then f2() will be a closure?
a closure will form if a function B in a function A. and function A is called. then function B is a closure. am i right? thank you.
No, it won't. It would only be a closure if the f1 function returned a reference to the f2 function.
No. The closure would be on the variable "n" but only if the f1 function returned the f2 functon so that f2 can be called after f1 has already finished running (and where the "n" variable would have already gone out of scope except for the fact that there is still a way to reference it via f2.
The following would be a closure:
function f1(){
var n=999;
function f2(){
alert(n); // 999
return f2;
a = f1();
With that code the last line a() will run the alert to display the 999 even though the call to f1 completed and n would have gone out of scope except for the closure.
felgall, your mean a closure will be:fuction B in function A. and in function A. there must be fuction B. then to function A's variable. fuction B is a closure. am i right?
felgall. to sum it up. according to your answer. the benefit of the closure is if outside the function. i can use the closure(f2) to reference the variable(on the above is n). am i right?thank you.
anyone knows? am i right?
That seems to be right.

Did you know?In Zulu tradition, sacrifices are made to the ancestors for protection, health and prosperity.
Zulu traditions are extremely important for the proud people of KwaZulu-Natal.
These are the 'people of the heavens', once a disparate group of clans and chieftainships melded into a mighty kingdom by Shaka in the early 19th century. Today there are about 9,2-million Zulu people and their language is the most widely spoken in South Africa.
The Zulu hold their culture in high esteem, observing many of their old traditions, rituals and ceremonies. Zulu beliefs are based on the presence of ancestral spirits ( amadlozi or abaphansi), which are essential in their day-to-day lives. These often appear in the form of dreams, illnesses and sometimes snakes.
Zulu beliefs deem birth, puberty, marriage and death as opportune times to communicate with the ancestors. And they can be called on for good luck, blessings, fortune, assistance or guidance. To beseech them they are given offerings and sacrifices, which can range from home-brewed beer to the slaughtering of animals.
Zulu traditions include a supreme creator, known as uMveliqangi (the one who came first) or uNkulunkulu (the very big one). This supreme being is not intricately involved in the lives of the people and has never been seen by anyone, which is why no ceremonies are ever performed for uMveliqangi.
Zulu culture includes the use of magic and many cases of illness or bad luck are considered to be caused by an evil spirit. A diviner will communicate with the spirits or use natural herbs and prayers to get ride of the problem.
Most Zulus today give their religion as Christian, with many belonging to the Zionist Christian and Apostolic churches. One of the most fascinating churches is the Nazareth Baptist Church founded by Isaiah Shembe, who many believe to be the Zulu messiah. Commonly called the Shembe church, part of its popularity is based on the fact that it incorporates traditional customs within a Christian framework.

The Gigantic BirdLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
The three rowed their boat towards the ship. Even before they were half-way there, a gigantic bird swooped down on them and plucked them up. They were carried to a distant land where they were deposited in a nest high in a tree.
From the statements that follow, what was the wing span of the gigantic bird and how far did it carry the three sailors?
1. If the wingspan of the gigantic bird was either 20 or 30 metres wide, it carried the three sailors for 50 leagues.
2. If the gigantic bird carried the three shipmates 75 leagues, its wingspan was not 40 or 50 metres wide.
3. If the wingspan of the gigantic bird was 40 or 50 metres wide, it carried the three sailors 75 leagues.
4. If the gigantic bird's wingspan was not 40 or 50 metres wide, then it was 20 or 30 metres wide.
AnswerThe bird's wingspan was 20 or 30 metres wide; it carried the shipmates 50 leagues.

Thank you Yanette!!!
Yanette has been a great host - exceptionally friendly and supported us with everything we needed. The apartment was large enough and clean. The location is just just a few minute's walk away from various transportation opportunities and a supermarket. It has been the perfect place for us to stay. We definitely recommend this department!
Yanette ist eine sehr zuvorkommende person die an alles gedacht hat und das Studio war nett eingerichtet und sauber. Wir hatten nichts auszusetzen und würden gerne wieder dort übernachten wenn wir in der gegend sind.
Thank you very much Yanette, it was a wonderful staying in Miami :)
A real cosy clean studio in a quiet place, 10 minutes walk from the last station of the Miami Mover. Easy to reach from the Miami International Airport (with MetroRail and the Miami Mover). Yanette is a perfect host.
Yanette is a great host and we had a good time over there. The appartment was verry cozie and spot clean and we could ask for anything and she was ready to help us out. We definetly recomand this place and great host to anyone who whats to stay in a nice local and safe neighberhood. Thanx for everything Yanette ;-) We would go back anyday....
Yanette was a perfect host! She did everything she can for us and was very nice everytime. The studio was very clean and so comfy. We highly recommend this place.
Thanks Yanette!
Nice cozy studio in Brickell, a perfect option for people wanting to stay in Brickell and not pay thousands of dollars. The studio was spot clean and tidy. Yanette makes you feel at home and is always available to help you. The small kitchen was well equipped and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was recently renovated and well sized. I would definitely stay there if I go to Miami again.

The apartment is very cozy and super clean. Our family especially appreciated the private pool. Yvette is a kind and attentive host.
Our stay in Yanette´s Apartment was outstanding!
It´s really an oasis in the middle of Miami.
Thanks so much!
We really enjoyed our stay at Oasis in Brickell. The apartment was of a very neat and the beds were super comfortable, a great welcome after a 22 hr flight. Getting to the apartment from the airport, board MIAMover to the the Metro Rail, at a charge of $2.25 to Brickell station. Disembark at Brickell station and it is 10 to 15 minute walk across the Publix Supermarket into South Miami Avenue and walk towards 20 th road, number 45 is at the end of the road.
Although centrally situated with easy excess to public transport, the area is very quite ensuring a good nights sleep. Yanette the host went out of her way to fulfil the any request and did make our stay comfortable.
We have been guests at Yanettes house for one week in October 2014. It was a lovely week. Everything was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped as well as the rest of the apartment. The beds were of good quality. We were impressed that the pool was cleaned weekly and the temperature was perfect from early morning on. My daughter loved it. There was a beautiful terrace with comfortable furniture so we had breakfast and dinner outside every day. There even was a big barbecue always ready to use. Yanette was extremely kind, very helpful and always available for her guests. She gave us great sightseeing tips, printed out directions and even helped us to order things. We would love coming back one day and would always recommend her as a host.

Joel 2:30: "And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness. And the moon into blood, …"
The Legend of Blood Moon Farm
In the early 1800's, there weren't facilities for the insane like the institutions we have today. In the larger cities, they were committed to private areas of prisons, where they wasted away until they died.
In the more rural areas, such as the Mahoning Valley was at the time, the criminally insane were committed to prison farms where buildings were built to house them. These patients were ignored and kept locked up until they eventually wasted away and died.
The current Canfield Fairgrounds was such a farm in the early days. Inmates were subject to neglect and horrible treatment. One day, they revolted and freed themselves. They attempted to escape under the guise of darkness, but a true blood moon could be seen glowing brightly in the sky. The "blood-filled moon" only fueled the escaped lunatics. It became known as the "Night of Blood" as these insane inmates embarked on a night of slaughter, killing everyone at the prison including other inmates and even the animals on the farm. The carnage only ended when state police were called in and shot and killed 8 inmates of the farm.
The insane farm, all 350 acres of it, was closed and the grounds remained empty until the Canfield Fair was established in 1846. Although the gates were boarded up and the crime scene was erased (for the most part), stories abounded telling of the strange happenings that continued to occur on the farm. It is even rumored that a human scarecrow was found trussed up in a remote part of the property years later. Even the most normal, innocent folk are drawn to the fairgrounds every fall to this day.
Although 200 years have passed, and the evidence has long since washed away, Blood Moon Farm will return this harvest season for good. The locals have forever nicknamed the site of the "Night of Blood" the Canfield Scaregrounds, and for good reason.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Today at SQL Saturday #220 in Atlanta I presented a new brand new session, "SQL Server Query Plan Analysis: The 5 Culprits That Cause 95% of Your Performance Headaches."
This session is designed to help people quickly analyze query plans and find likely culprits without being query tuning experts; I find that in a huge number of cases the root cause of problems is one of just a few potential situations.
Thanks to everyone who joined me today for the deliveries! In addition to it being a new session this was also the first time that I've ever been asked to present the same session twice in a single day. So it was quite an experience.
The demo script is attached. As always, let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Adam the session was great. I downloaded the attached script and would like a pdf of the slides you showed during the session if it is available.

- What an existential approach is about is positing that our bad feelings, our dysphoria, our despair, our anxiety emanates not only from our own life history and all the traumas we may have had in the past, and not only from the figures that we have introjected — many of these figures being unloving, or uncaring, or neurotic on their own parts — and emanates not only from our current life crises, but it emanates also, also, from our confrontation with the existential facts of life, with our confrontation with the human condition.

One thing I love about the beginning of the year is that we have another round of earnings season -- the time when companies show what they've got and we tend to see big price moves in both directions.
For myself, as an options trader, this period presents tremendous opportunities for gains both before and after earnings releases. In order to increase my odds of success, I will often use such varying options strategies as strangles, straddles and credit spreads. Playing off technical indicators, as well as money flows, momentum and sentiment, could put you on a plane of quick and powerful profits.
This past week saw earnings from such names as Alcoa (AA), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Monsanto (MON). Given the generally low market volatility of late, the expectations do not call for big moves --and so far we've been able to see results stand on their own, rather than witness shares being pushed around by broad-market sentiment. Of these three, Alcoa and Wells Fargo moved modestly on prior Street expectations, while Monsanto broke out of a range on nice volume expansion. The latter was behaving well into the report, and now it looks even better for a trade.
The next week is due to brings us a slew of reports from the banking, technology, industrials and consumer-staples sectors. Names of interest for this week include eBay (EBAY), Intel (INTC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Citigroup (C). We'll also hear from Bank of America (BAC), American Express (AXP), Freeport McMoRan (FCX), General Electric (GE), Schlumberger (SLB) and Morgan Stanley (MS). Amid this array of expected releases, the indices are already overbought, and they're working off that condition -- so the next move could be higher.
What do I mean by "overbought," and why do I think the market could remain there? This simple concept addresses a persistent technical state that traps markets into a longer-lasting condition -- which is measured by the embedded stochastic oscillator. An oscillator is an indicator that tracks momentum or rate of change, and embedded stochastics go hand in hand with broad uptrends and downtrends.
According to Ira Epstein, in order for an uptrend to be established, a market must have a stochastic reading of above 80 for three consecutive sessions. Currently, embedded stochastics are reading at around 96, as you can see on the chart above. (A sub-20 reading for three days is required to establish a downtrend.)
As we all know, the market tends to make most people look wrong or foolish, so this condition may persist far longer than many expect.
