discspeed wrote:There is a 2.5g tolerance on the weight rule(to allow for water weight absorbed by discs), not that it's really enforceable at any capacity. So your discs can be 2.5g overweight and you aren't breaking any (unenforceable) rules.
discspeed wrote:The weight of plastic is not static. It gains and loses water weight, and this can account for several grams. If a disc is legal at 175 when you buy it in Nevada, and then you go to Florida and it weighs 177 it does not become illegal.
discspeed wrote:This is why the real point of all this is that this rule is unenforceable, and if it is ever in a condition to be enforced there will have to be a tolerance.
2. Weight
The weight of the ball must not be greater than 1.620 ounces avoirdupois (45.93 g).
3. Size
The diameter of the ball must not be less than 1.680 inches (42.67 mm).
Frank Delicious wrote:The quality standards in golf manufacturers are much tighter and better than the ones in disc golf manufacturers. It is hard to make comparisons between the two because of that. I remember watching some old gateway videos of Dave and some dude molding discs and it looks like two dudes in a basement molding discs.
Ryan C wrote:I would also say that 180g is right about the sweet spot where weight can be an advantage. Much heavier than than, and you're just talking about a seriously heavy disc, which will make you lose arm speed and distance. Things like rim width and weight just don't seem like things that need to be too strictly regulated. There is a point where they both cease to be an advantage, and really start working against you. Rules like rim sharpness, on the other hand, seem more reasonable for safety reasons.
discspeed wrote:I'm not sure when or where on the forums (here or PDGA)the discussion was taking place, but I know Dave McCormack was leading the discussion and if I'm not mistaken Chuck Kennedy chimed in as well.
"I for one would like to see a tolorance as Urethane discs are Hygroscopic and absorb moisture even after being molded.
This type polymer can gain .02% by weight whether its in the raw materials or in a molded part.
.02% of 175 Grams is 3.5grams."
"1-2 grams isn't a huge difference. But as the rules ready now, there isn't a +/- tolerance. A disc can go out of the factory at ANY weight, as long as they mark it 175, it's ok. That doesn't seem right. If they throw out a 185 wraith, and call it 175, that's an advantage. Especially in a head wind."
I think if you check you will find I have been consistent in my philosophy that players are responsible for the equipment that they use to compete with and I have advised all players to check their own equipment to make sure they are playing by the rules. Ignorance is no excuse for the law and in this case the rules!
Facts are, there are overweight discs from all companies in the market, most are just not marked with the correct weight and are being used each and every week in sanctioned events.
If the pdga decides to crank up the pressure on the manufactures, it could be a mistake as we ( all companies) are already grinding up perfectly molded and sell able discs because they are just a few grams over weight.
Where in the rules do you see the +/-2.5g tolerance; I thought that for a mold that was PDGA legal up to 174.3, if a disc weighs 174.4g it was illegal. -- it would be great to know where to point to that 2.5g tolerance rule, since I have several discs that are overweight (including several Assassins), and it would be nice if they were legal for play.
I believe the pdga may and should incorporate a tolerance on weight due to the fact that discs are Hygroscopic,.
a disc can gain or lose up to .02% by weight.
discspeed wrote:I'm also saying that plastic discs are different than golf balls, and that will never change. Lets say a top pro goes out to Innova west at a time of year with really low humidity and picks out a bag full of discs weighing exactly max. He then goes to Florida and it is really humid. After a short time in that climate all of his discs would be overweight.
discspeed wrote:This would be a constant problem for touring pros as they traveled if discs were weighed it at tournaments without a tolerance. Either that or manufacturers would stop aiming for max weight at all and we'd barely see any discs above 170 circulating just to make certain they wouldn't be overweight in a different climate.

The North Platte city council agreed Tuesday to get five new garbage trucks.
The trucks will replace two that were wrecked in July as they made their way to the city transfer station near Lake Maloney. One truck ran into the back of another on Buffalo Bill Road. The drivers said they were distracted by a cow that was out.
The insurance company paid the city nearly $80,000 for the trucks, which the city used as a down payment on the new ones. The other three garbage trucks will be traded.
The council first gave its blessing to five brand new garbage trucks on Oct. 16.
Golf insurance
In other council business, the city clarified its insurance agreement with Landscapes Golf Group, the company that now manages Iron Eagle golf course.
Landscapes is responsible for obtaining workers compensation and liquor liability insurance, but the city will remit payment, according to the agreement.
The council voted 7-1 in favor of the agreement. Tim Barrett voted no.
Also, the council agreed to call in more than $6.6 million in bonds to be refinanced at a lower rate. Glenn Petersen abstained. The council then authorized the issuance $6.7 million in new bonds.
And, the council:
Adopted the recommendation by the North Platte Planning Commission to eliminate a greenspace designation for lots south of the hospital, across Leota St.
That way the land can be sold for development.
With the expansion of Great Plains Regional Medical Center, the area could be used for offices or restaurants, according to development director Judy Clark.
Adopted a recommendation by the Planning Commission to consolidate two plots of land at 2004 E. Walker Road into one lot for new development. The area is earmarked as light industrial currently home to an implement dealer, a land broker and a warehouse.

A three-day prayer blitz in Cranford, N.J., in March drew more than 800 revival-hungry Christians and challenged attendees to create a 24-hour "house of prayer" in New York City for training intercessors and bathing the city in prayer.
The event, organized by Eagles' Wings Ministries (EWM) of Clarence, N.Y., also helped prepare local believers for a potentially huge event late this month that could have thousands fasting and praying for "The City That Never Sleeps."
Representatives from the Israeli Consulate and New York Jewish community attended the opening session in response to EWM's work in Israel. Appearing unfamiliar with Pentecostal worship, they glanced at one another wide-eyed as evangelicals and Pentecostals from 14 states and diverse denominational backgrounds worshiped, prayed side by side, and jumped, shouted and cried for revival in the metropolitan New York region.
"Pour out your Spirit, Lord," pleaded Robert Stearns, executive director of EWM. "We repent. There needs to be a refreshing. We hold up the blood of Jesus over these churches. We are calling for churches to operate as one in the body of Christ."
Orthodox Rabbi Gerald Meister told Stearns: "I've had a lot of experiences in different churches. Tonight I had an awakening."
Stearns, 33, has been leading weekly interdenominational praise and prayer events in northeastern New Jersey since 1996. More than 400,000 people have attended these gatherings, he reported.
"We've been praying for many years for the metro New York area, believing that God wants to really do something extraordinary in this region," he said. "And we know that God doesn't do anything except in response to prayer."
Stearns believes "The Big Apple" is ripe for revival. He yearns to bring unity among Christians to achieve that goal. "Our heart is not so much to relate by institution or by denomination, as much as it is friend to friend," he said.
He networks with 250 churches in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut and is launching a new ministry called Metro New York House of Prayer.
"It isn't about a certain denomination. It's not about our ministry," Stearns said. "It's about releasing the body of Christ to be a house of prayer."
He envisions a 24-hour prayer facility in New Jersey similar to others found in Jerusalem, Colorado Springs, Colo., and Kansas City, Mo. He sees the house of prayer training prayer specialists and church teams, teaching prayer interns, mobilizing intercessory events, as well as flooding the Eastern seaboard and beyond with a call to prayer.
Phil Coenraad started an all-night prayer meeting in his home in Hillsborough, N.J., one year ago. About 12 people meet Mondays from midnight to 7 a.m.
"We invite the Holy Spirit to give us His agenda," he said. "There have been amazing answers to prayer. Eagles' Wings has been an inspiration. They have pushed us to higher ground."
EWM cooperates with other groups such as Greater New York Concerts of Prayer, Ground Zero Clergy Task Force, and The Call, based in California. The Call president Lou Engle delivered a passionate challenge to participants at the March prayer conference.
"We need to fight the war together!" he shouted. "We're believing for atmospheric change."
Engle is spearheading a week of prayer and fasting and evangelizing in New York City June 22-29. He anticipates 50,000-100,000 Christians jamming Flushing Meadows Park on June 29 for a 12-hour prayer and consecration assembly.
The event coincides with the 40th anniversary of Engel vs. Vitale, the U.S. Supreme Court case that removed voluntary prayer from public schools.
"We're seeking to mobilize daily prayer in schools across America," he said. "Our challenge is calling for one praying student from every junior high, high school and college."
Greater New York Concerts of Prayer, led by Baptist minister McKenzie Pier, strongly backs The Call New York City.
"We are not going to allow secondary doctrine or differences in worship style to create disunity," Pier said. "As a Baptist I am very appreciative for what the Pentecostal church means in New York.
"It's probably doing the most effective evangelism in the city. So many people are becoming Christians as a result of the presence of the Pentecostal church."
As executive director of The Call New York City, Stearns anticipates a stirring move of God in June.
"New York is a microcosm of the world," he said. "This city has the capacity to influence the globe."

You're standing on the edge of your keep wall, peering over the crenelations into the morass of writhing bodies, baying for blood below. Your commander shouts directions to the troops: "Man the cannons! Push them back!" Your allies rush along the length of the walls, dropping fire and arrows on the invaders below, but they just keep coming. Agitated, your grip tightens around the edge of your shield.
"Get that siege up! And for Dwayna's sake step back from the edge!" but the command comes too late – you catch the eye of an unsuspecting sylvari: too concerned with building her arrow cart to notice she has strayed within reach of the scorpion wires and deflective walls from the enemies at the base of the wall. In an instant she is gone, enveloped into the chaos below.
You have to act fast – the ground troops in the keep's courtyard could get the soldier back on her feet if only there weren't seventy angry invaders clawing at her from all sides. She has a split second of invulnerability before she is lost, but you only need a second more to save her… if only the path were clear. You grip the arm-guard of your shield and, taking a running jump, leap over the wall's edge.
Landing in the tumult below, you stumble – that was a long fall. A protective symbol sprouts from your feet and spreads across the ground around you soothing some of the pain and burning your enemies. Standing over your downed comrade, you crouch into a protective stance and activate your shield of absorption – a pale blue light erupts from your shield. The sheer force of the mystical energy drives the surrounding enemies back. You now stand alone over your ally, a clear ring of ground between yourself and the enemy. Arrows and fireballs fly from the twisting mass of opposing bodies – but each bounces uselessly against your bubble, sending waves of energy across the entire dome, like ripples on a millpond. You hear the keep gate open behind you; your allies rush out and pull the sylvari to her feet. "Retreat!" you shout, spurring your allies into a sprint back towards the gate.
For me, this is the most satisfying part of being a guardian. There is no more pleasing sight than 50 arrows bouncing limply against my Shield of Absorption. You, effectively, take out roughly 1/3 of an armies' firepower with just one skill AND you can activate it a second time during its duration to heal all allies AND seeing as it is a "light" field any projectiles which pass through it will heal conditions on allies! What's not to like?
What is even better is chaining shields with another guardian to provide a full 8 seconds (or even more, with more guardians) of protection for a downed ally. I was doing this with a player I met called Sigma in the Aurora Glade Borderlands a couple of weeks ago. We were directing our troops back and forth from our keep gate to the enemy main base – each time one of our allies fell we run up and Sigma would begin to heal and I'd pop my shield, after 4 seconds we would swap. It pretty much guaranteed that we would be able to get the ally back on their feet almost every time.
For complete protection, you can also slot "Sanctuary" – a tier 3 slot skill – which provides a much smaller but much more effective shield which, in addition to blocking projectiles, also makes sure enemies cannot get within melee range. The only issue with this skill is it's prohibitively long recharge, and the 1.5 second cast time. It's not as effective as a "quick fix", but you can drop Shield of Absorption and then use some of the protection that provides to effectively position yourself and cast Sanctuary. Sanctuary also heals and doesn't need you to maintain it, so once it is up, you're free to move, resurrect, attack etc.
Both of these skills are extremely effective if used correctly. Drop your shield at a choke point (such as the archway leading to the South Western supply camp in the Borderlands) to stop your allies from being mowed down as they attempt to push through. Push multiple enemies towards the edge of a cliff, away from a gate (from the inside) or off your tail when being pursued, with the knock-back effect.
The majority of the guardian population seems to have an infatuation with the greatsword. I get it – who doesn't like swinging their large weapon around, after all? But the humble shield needs to get a bit of love, if only for this one skill. I firmly believe that it is the most useful tool in the guardian's arsenal.
To the reader: Which is the skill which you most enjoy using with your profession? Do you use a "sword and board" with your guardian, or do you find you're better off with a different weapon set?

President Barack Obama's decision to delay approval of the Keystone Pipeline project is hurting job creation opportunities in the United States, particularly among Hispanics, said officials with the American Petroleum Institute (API) on Tuesday.
The Keystone Pipeline will not only help lower oil prices for U.S. consumers, but have a ripple effect spreading outward from Nebraska and neighboring states to create jobs and help small businesses.
This job creation will be helpful in particular for the U.S. Hispanic population, the unemployment rate for which is one to two points higher than other demographic groups in the United States.
The Los Angeles Times reported in 2010 that the unemployment rate among U.S. Hispanics rose because of their disproportionate unemployment in industries and regions significantly impacted by the economic downturn.
According to a U.S. Department of Labor report, the unemployment rate among Latinos in the United States averaged 11.5 percent in 2011; the most recent unemployment report in February 2012 shows improvement for all Americans, including Latinos, who have seen their unemployment rate decline to 10.7 percent in February from a high of 13.1 percent in November 2010.
In 2011, 5.8 percent of Latinos were self-employed compared to 7.2 percent among whites, partly due to lower educational attainment and less access to financial wealth.
The entry rate of Latinos into self-employment compares favorably to that of non-Latino Whites and their entry rate is even higher compared with whites in low-barrier sectors, according to the Department of Labor report. However, Latinos tend to have lower success rates with their new businesses and exit self-employment at a higher rate than whites.
People of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity represented 15 percent of the U.S. labor force in 2011, or nearly 23 million workers. By 2020, Latinos are expected to comprise 19 percent of the U.S. labor force, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
API 'Disappointed' in Keystone Delay, Impact on Jobs
"We're disappointed that the current administration doesn't see how this project doesn't add up," said Hispanic Leadership Fund President Mario Lopez during a conference call with reporters, noting that the project appears to be delayed for political reasons.
"Four years ago, Obama promised to push unemployment lower and lead us out of the depression," Lopez said. "Approval of the Keystone pipeline would demonstrate to all Americans and to Latinos across the country that he cares about jobs and domestic energy."
API has committed significant resources to support all aspects of the Keystone project.
"The earth hasn't moved and the geology hasn't changed," said API Executive Vice President Marty Durbin, adding that the Keystone pipeline project is "as ready as it can get."
Durbin said that imports of Canadian oil sands supply to the U.S. Gulf Coast would not create a supply glut, but would displace oil imported from other countries.

kenton a cooke | May. 9, 2012I personally think the pipline should be allowed to come in. The president has no idea what he is talking about. the president is ignorant if he thinks we dont need the pipeline. I personally work in the oilfields of south texas and I would like to see not only the hispanics able to go to work but all workers weather they are white, negro,.

League tables have placed Malmesbury School as the best-performing comprehensive school in Wiltshire and one of the best nationally.
A new benchmark figure gives the percentage of students achieving AAB in academic subjects and the average points per exam entry for A-levels.
In the tables, 66 per cent of Malmesbury School students' grades were A*-B, meaning more than half of students who went on to study degrees were able to secure places at Russell Group universities.
Headteacher Tim Gilson said: "Rigorous academic teaching and very hard working students are the key to six form success.
"Students work harder than ever nowadays and our staff are always willing to go the extra mile."
Across all key benchmarks at A-level and GCSE, Malmesbury School saw 64 per cent of students achieving five A*-C grades including English and maths.

Blue Jays can't end road trip on winning note
Pair of homers hurts Dickey as offense is unable to generate much
NEW YORK -- The Blue Jays began a seven-game road trip earlier this week with the goal of getting back to .500, but now that aspiration seems like an ancient dream.
Toronto had been desperately hoping for a series of positive outcomes to help get its season back on track. Instead, the club has dug itself a bigger hole, and the search for answers continues.
Right-hander R.A. Dickey tossed seven strong innings, but the offense continued to struggle as the Blue Jays' losing streak was extended to a season-high four games with a 3-2 loss to the Yankees on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
"It has obviously been incredibly disappointing for everybody," said Dickey, who was charged with three runs on four hits. "The beauty about baseball is it's just one month and we've got five left, so there's still time.
"But at the same time, we can't just keep going out there and saying, 'Oh, it's going to turn.' Everybody in here knows we have to each take responsibility for turning it. We know what needs to be done. It's just a matter of doing it."
Dickey managed to get through the seven innings despite continuing to deal with tightness in his upper back and neck area. The injury has lingered in his past four outings, and with the pain having yet to subside, he is expected to get an MRI within the next couple of days. But the hope remains he'll be able to keep pitching through the discomfort like he has the past four times out.
The Blue Jays finished their road trip against Baltimore and New York with a 1-6 record. Most of the blame goes to the offense, which managed to score a total of 23 runs over that span while hitting just .231 (9-for-39) with runners in scoring position.
The offensive woes have been lingering for almost the entire month of April. Toronto has scored three runs or fewer in 15 of its 26 games this season while its previously hyped lineup ranks just ninth in the American League with a total of 95 runs. All of the teams behind the Blue Jays in that category -- except Seattle -- have played at least three fewer games.
The lack of run support has applied plenty of pressure on both the defense and pitching staff. The margin for error has been so small that each game seems to be decided by one bad pitch or one miscue in the field.
"I think guys at the plate feel like they've got to press a little bit," Dickey said. "I certainly feel like I need to make big pitch after big pitch. And so when you do have some climactic innings, everything's exacerbated a little bit. It's hard to play like that for a long amount of time, and it'll wear on you."
That type of situation arose again on Sunday afternoon. Dickey cruised through the first six innings of the game, but all it took was one hiccup in the seventh for his afternoon to become unraveled.
Dickey surrendered a leadoff single to Travis Hafner before retiring the next two batters he faced. All he needed was one out to preserve a 2-1 lead, but he couldn't get the desired result. Dickey tossed an ineffective knuckleball that Yankees first baseman Lyle Overbay sent just over the wall in right-center field.
That one little mistake was enough to dictate the final outcome. Those things will happen from time to time, but when it becomes a recurring trend, then the issues become magnified.
"We're positive, we're right in every game, we just can't get that big win," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.
"It was a good ballgame and it was good all the way around, good clean game, just got the big hit there late and it made the difference."
The Blue Jays have spent most of this season relying on the long ball to score runs, but on Sunday afternoon, it was some rare timely hitting and seeing-eye singles that sparked at least a bit of offense. But seven of Toronto's eight hits on the afternoon came with two outs and a pair of doubles by Jose Bautista and Maicer Izturis were the only hard hits of the day.
Toronto's first rally came in the fourth, when Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-out bunt single down the third-base line that stayed fair. He came around to score after the Blue Jays pieced together another pair of softly hit balls by Melky Cabrera and Adam Lind to tie the game at 1.
Bautista led off the sixth with a scorching double to left off Yankees starter Phil Hughes. Later in the inning, Izturis came through with a double off the wall in right field to score Bautista and at least temporarily put Toronto on top.
"You look at the first run he gave up, you're going to give up hits like that, but you don't usually see three of them in a row though," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Hughes. "That's the bottom line -- two jam-shots and a cue shot. But I thought he pitched really well today."
But the Blue Jays' offense was quiet from that point on, and the lack of run support continues to be a problem that Toronto seems incapable of overcoming.
Before hosting the Red Sox on Tuesday, Blue Jays now have a much-needed off-day on Monday following a grueling stretch of 20 games in 20 days. That should provide an opportunity to regroup, but the schedule doesn't exactly provide the club any favors moving forward.
"Big time," Gibbons said when asked if his club needs that day of rest. "And then come right back at it with Boston, which is playing as good as anybody in baseball right now.
"So it doesn't get any easier that's for sure. But the off-day will do us some good. Physically, they need it, too."

Pfizer agrees with the recommendation of the joint meeting of the FDA Arthritis Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee that the available data do not support a conclusion that naproxen has a lower risk of cardiovascular thrombotic events as compared to other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Based on Pfizer's review of the data discussed, we believe there is insufficient evidence to make this type of distinction. Differentiation between NSAIDs on cardiovascular safety should be based on substantial scientific evidence.
Pfizer is sponsoring a study that may provide substantial evidence. PRECISION is a large, ongoing, well-controlled, randomized clinical trial designed in agreement with FDA to assess the relative long-term cardiovascular safety of CELEBREX compared to prescription doses of two commonly prescribed NSAIDs, ibuprofen and naproxen, in the treatment of arthritis pain. It is an important study that will provide meaningful information on the cardiovascular safety of these medicines.
Although advisory committees provide recommendations to the FDA, FDA makes final regulatory decisions.
Patient safety and appropriate use of our medicines are top priorities at Pfizer. For more than 30 years, Pfizer NSAID medicines have helped people relieve their headaches, arthritis symptoms and other causes of pain or inflammation. We are committed to ongoing safety monitoring of our medicines.

The Bones of Blog Cabin 2013
Last week, we launched several new features that capture different aspects of the Blog Cabin remodeling process. We focus on reframing of the home and original buidling materials that will be incorporated into DIY projects and decorative accents. And wait till you see this video! We follow the evolution of the home in a series of 3-D graphics. You'll see the original one-room cabin morph into a two-story home, crumble to the ground in a series of demolitions and rise again in its beautifully remodeled shape and floor plan. Enjoy!

SBA Expands Temporary Refinance Program
Beginning April 4, 2011, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) will expand its temporary 504 commercial real estate refinance program to assist more small business owners struggling to refinance commercial loans. This new refinancing option was initially restricted to small businesses with commercial real estate mortgages maturing by the end of 2012, but now small businesses will be allowed to refinance certain owner-occupied commercial real estate loans maturing after Dec. 31, 2012.
The 504 refinance program provides an SBA loan for up to 40 percent of the appraised property value with no less than 10 percent of the remaining amount to be contributed by the borrower. Last September, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010, which authorized this program through Sept. 27, 2012.
Read more about the SBA's 504 Refinance Program at their website, or see their FAQ on the Temporary 504 Refinance Program.

Environmental groups urge N.J. lawmakers to try again on fracking wastewater ban
Environmental groups are urging New Jersey lawmakers to override Gov. Chris Christie's veto of a bill that would have banned fracking waste from entering the state.
It's the latest turn in the fight over byproducts from natural gas drilling.
The environmental groups say fracking waste from other states, including Pennsylvania, would add to New Jersey's pollution problems and could threaten water supplies.
The waste produced by extracting natural gas through hydraulic fracturing may be worse than environmentalists thought, says Tracy Carluccio with the Delaware Riverkeeper Network.
"We have a thousand chemicals in play here, and many of them are carcinogenic, have very serious human health and environmental impacts," she says. "Many of them are even unregulated chemicals that don't have proper safe drinking water standards attached to them."
New Jersey Sierra Club director Jeff Tittel says the state's wastewater-treatment plants cannot safely treat all the chemicals used when drilling for natural gas.
He says fracking waste would have added to the problems caused by Hurricane Sandy.
"If fracking waste was being stored in New Jersey or processed here, we would have taken a disaster and turned it into a tragedy with billions of gallons of toxic waste going into our waterways," Tittel said.
Every previous attempt by the Legislature to override a Christie veto has been unsuccessful, but the environmentalists are hoping for a different outcome in an election year when voters may pay more attention to lawmakers' voting records.

I dont think that they can be much use because the nature of the two drives are so different. Am I right there ?
I mean stuff like in these pictures : http://www.purplegolf.com/images/Articl ... wings1.jpg
Can it be used for disc golf right away without re-coding it to consider the different body positions, angles, horizontal line of the disc compared to the circular motion of the club etc ?

How can I keep my milk when back at work?
Flexible scheduling, telecommuting, and job sharing can help. Plan three 15-minute pumping breaks during each 8-hour workday. If your shift is longer than 8 hours, try to add another short pumping session. Double pumping cuts down pumping time, but it is important to pump for 12-15 minutes during each break. You can continue to add small amounts of cooled breast milk to the same refrigerated container throughout the day. Avoid adding warm milk to already cooled milk.
Breastfeed often in the evenings and learn how to breastfeed lying down while you rest. Nighttime breastfeeding boosts supply! If your supply is low, breastfeeding or pumping more often is the simplest way to increase supply.

Torta de Pan Viejo
In a large bowl, soak the bread with the milk.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs with the condensed milk, vanilla, rum and the raisins.
Add this mixture to the bowl with the bread-milk mixture (that must become really small pieces after soaking with the milk).
Pour the batter on the previously greased baking dish and bake on a previously pre-heated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes or until golden brown on top and as pricked with a
toothpick it comes out clean.
If you like before serving you can cover the slice with a syrup made from 1 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tbs water (cook on a sauce pan on low fire, until the sugar is dissolved and it's thick)
(dont let it become too brown).

And no Jason Whitlock had nothing to do with this....
Yes I thought this deserved a post of its own
Jeff George says he could pick up Colts offense in a matter of days
Posted by Mike Florio on September 19, 2011, 9:12 PM EDT
Getty ImagesAt a time when at least one columnist in Indianapolis hopes the Colts will break the glass and pull the Favre lever, another former NFL quarterback apparently is politicking for a shot at helping the team.
Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times reports via Twitter that Jeff George said he could pick up the Colts offense in a matter of days.
The Colts drafted George with the No. 1 selection, 21 years ago. Hell be 44 in December.
The team presumably isnt interested. The only question is whether coach Jim Caldwell will decline politely, or whether hell make some Chilly-style crack that George should sign up for a fantasy camp.
Were guessing that itll be the former.
Either way, dont count on a team that could earn the first overall pick in the 2012 draft during a season when it has lost the services of the first overall pick in the 1998 draft to give a job to the first overall pick in the 1990 draft

Hi everyone,
Just thought about taking mom back home for a family visit mid December, which means 22 hours flight time to South Asia. She would be thrilled to see her mom and 8 siblings but I have no idea if she can travel with the bil tubes. They are capped for now but we have had them open to a bag previously when she had some complications. My question is can one travel under this condition? I know she will be due for an exxchange in a few weeks. Please advise.

Appartamento carino abitabilissimo, al quarto piano senza ascensore ma le scale sono piuttosto agevoli da fare anche dopo una giornata di cammino.
Non c'è il riscaldamento ma delle stufe che comunque sopperiscono più so meno a questa mancanza.
Vista dal terrazzino del salotto veramente bella e panoramica, il famoso tram 28 passa proprio sotto casa.
Insomma soggiorno piacevole.
Es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt in Lissabon in diesem Apartment!! Die beiden Balkone mit Blick über Lissabon sind wunderbar. Das Apartment war schön hell und sauber und wir sind sehr herzlich empfangen und mit Frühstücktipps versorgt worden. Bus- und Straßenbahnhaltestelle sind quasi direkt vor der Tür. Gerne wären wir dieses Jahr wieder hier her gekommen aber leider passten die Daten nicht.
Wunderschöne, saubere und gemütliche Dachwohnung in optimaler Lage hoch über den Dächern von Lisboa. Die 2 Balkone mit ihrem Ausblick sind der Hit. Die Tram 28 E hält direkt vor der Haustüre. Sehr unkomplizierter netter Kontakt zu dem Gastgeber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können diese Wohnung wärmstens empfehlen. Vielen Dank!
We really enjoyed our stay in this nice neighborhood!!! everything was working smothly with the booking and the welcome with delicious cookies and wine was very friendly. The appartment is very well loacated and it is a nice place to stay we would like to come back once. We didn´t miss anything the equipment was also good we were just having a good time in this wonderful city.
Marcus, Astrid and Birte
We were friends for a few days to Lisbon and the truth that the apartment is great, with all amenities, just what we were looking for. Tiago is a great host, very friendly and gave us committed to ensuring that we were comfortable. We would definitely return there.
fuimos unos amigos a pasar unos días a Lisboa y la verdad que el apartamento está genial, con todas las comodidades, justo lo que estábamos buscando. Tiago es un anfitrión estupendo, muy amable y nos dio muchas facilidades para que estuviéramos a gusto. sin duda, volveríamos ahí.
The appartement is very well located and there are many shops nearby. However there is no heating available and the temperature in the rooms after 6pm was too low, the towels could not dry up in the bathroom and there is no bed in the living room but only a sofa with is not a true bed. So for the warmer seasons this location is good and there is a nice view
Tiago is a escepcional host, her quick response to emails, friendly and always helpful.
Tiago es un anfitrión escepcional , su rápida contestación a los mails, amable y siempre atento.
Pleasantly received by Carla. Beautiful apartment with stunning views and meet quite a description of the site. The period that we got in a little apartment cold but warmed up the next day with the Portuguese sun. Great time. Thank you in Portuguese that are great friendly and available.

NFL Week 11 storylines: Andrew Luck's arrival revives Colts-Patriots rivalry
For years and years the Colts-Patriots rivalry was one of the NFL's best, with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning dueling on an annual basis. Last season, the ninth straight in which those two AFC foes met, the luster lacked. The Colts entered the early December contest at 0-11 and with Dan Orlovsky running the show at quarterback.
Indianapolis still made a game of it, scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter to lose by seven, but the national excitement waned.
Eleven months later, it's back.
We can thank Andrew Luck and the resurgent 2012 version of the Colts for that. As Luck churns his way toward Rookie of the Year honors, the Colts are one of the NFL's biggest surprises -- their 6-3 record has them firmly in wild-card position and matches New England's start to the 2012 season.
On Sunday Luck leads his team into Foxboro for his first meeting with Brady and the Patriots. The start time of the game was bumped from 1 p.m. ET to the less-crowded 4:25 slot, a nod to the interest in the first Luck-Brady showdown.
If the AFC continues to play out as it has so far, though, the second meeting of those quarterbacks could come in the postseason. Of course, as the playoff picture stands right now, it would not be the Patriots that Luck's Colts would draw in Round 1.
It would be the Denver Broncos ... and Manning.
• Checking in on the quarterback infirmary
Week 10 was none too kind to the NFL's signal-callers. Three of them (Alex Smith, Jay Cutler, Michael Vick) exited their games in the first half with concussions, then Ben Roethlisberger suffered an extremely unusual and serious injury in the Monday night game.
Of the four, only Alex Smith is in line to play in Week 11. That's bad news for the Bears, San Francisco's Monday opponent, who announced Friday that they'll hold Cutler and start Jason Campbell. The Eagles also declared Michael Vick out for their game Sunday in Washington, turning things over to the backup -- Nick Foles, in this case.
Roethlisberger's timetable, meanwhile, remains very much up in the air. At the least his injury will sideline him for Sunday night's crucial AFC North showdown against Baltimore, giving Byron Leftwich his first start since 2009. The Ravens and Steelers meet again in Week 11; will Roethlisberger be available for the rematch? It is possible. Unfortunately for the Steelers, it is also possible that Big Ben has to shut it down until next season.
• Here come the Saints (and Buccaneers)
The NFC South race remains relatively drama-free for now, with the 8-1 Falcons still in cruise control, despite a loss to New Orleans last week. A visit from Arizona this Sunday should not cause Atlanta too much consternation.
Below the Falcons in the standings, though, are a pair of teams rapidly making up for lost time. The Saints, thanks partially to that emphatic win over Atlanta, have won four of five to get back within a game of .500; the Buccaneers have reeled off three straight wins to improve to 5-4, placing them just a half-game back in the NFC wild-card race.
New Orleans heads to Oakland this Sunday, while Tampa Bay visits Carolina. Should both teams win, we may have to start talking about the NFC South as a potential three-playoff-team division.
• San Diego's last shot in the AFC West
Technically, the earliest the Broncos can clinch the AFC West is in Week 13. Ostensibly, however, they can put a bow on the division race Sunday afternoon.
That's if the Broncos can take down San Diego for a second time this season. Manning's team already did just that back in Week 6, rallying from a 24-0 halftime deficit to send the Chargers spiraling. If Denver repeats that outcome Sunday, it will push its AFC West lead out to three games and hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over San Diego. In other words, one divisional race will be over.
• Does Detroit have any fight left?
The Lions have spent the past two weeks batting off insults from anonymous sources -- first, center Dominic Raiola was in the crosshairs, then Ndamukong Suh endured his turn this week. Just the latest in a long string of unwelcome distractions for Jim Schwartz's club.
The on-field product has not been much better. Coming off a playoff appearance in 2011, the Lions have failed to meet expectations thus far in 2012, slumping to a 4-5 start. Their fading hopes are on the line Sunday, when the Packers visit Motown. The Lions have knocked off the Packers just once in the past six seasons -- and that win came in a game that saw Aaron Rodgers leave with an injury.
• The Tim Tebow saga refuses to go away
The Jets are 3-6, barely with a pulse in the playoff race. And yet, more of the NFL news cycle has been devoted to their backup quarterback than maybe any other topic this season.
Suffice it to say, Tebow's arrival in New York has not exactly sparked the Jets as they hoped it might. He has seen the field only sporadically (unless you count his work as a blocker on punts), and now this week, several of his teammates ripped Tebow in the press.
All the while, Mark Sanchez has wallowed in underachievement as New York's starting quarterback, unable to get the offense going with a shaky line and depleted receiving corps at his service.Rams

9:29 a.m. Fresh Del Monte's fourth quarter results were released today. Pretty positive results, it seems, in terms of profitability.
While net sales for the year decreased, gross profit was up because of higher selling prices for the fresh produce business segment. Some highlights of the report:
Bananas: Net sales for the year decreased 7%. Worldwide pricing decreased 1% Volume was 6% lower.
Other Fresh Produce: Net sales for the year decreased 2%, primarily because of lower sales in the company's tomato, pineapple and melon product lines.
Gold pineapple - Net sales decreased 3%, with volume down 7% and pricing up 4%.
Fresh-cut: Net sales increased 11%, with volume up 1% and pricing 9% higher.
Melon - Net sales decreased 8%, with volume down 23% and pricing up 21%.
Tomato - Net sales decreased 31%, with volume down 16% and pricing off 16%.

10:15 a.m. Exempt apples, cherries and pears from the produce safety rule's water requirements? That's what this comment to FDA said:
Please take into consideration the lack of risk associated with apples, cherries, and pears as it relates to water contamination. Obviously all these fruits are grown in trees and present an extremely low risk to contamination. Additionally, once harvested, these particular crops are processed through a highly regulated chlorine bath to mitigate possible contamination.
Most Northwest growers are voluntarily participating in the USDA GAP and/or Global GAP programs that require the annual testing of water sources and often times multiple tests per season. Steps are currently in place to correct an out of tolerance situation, thus aiding in the prevention of food borne pathogens. Necessary tools such as overhead cooling prior to harvest ensure that the grower can protect the crop from intensive sunburn and thus provide a high quality and profitable crop. Risk associated with contamination is minimal due to the aforementioned drenching at the packing facility. Incidents of tree fruit contamination are either insignificant or nonexistent, and these regulations are unwarranted. The overarching proposals in the current draft of this Act represent unnecessary and burdensome regulations based on industry data and research. Special consideration should be considered to grant an exemption to apples, cherries, and pears.

Now all we need is a Denver Bronco to complete the entire AFC West being arrested in the state of Indiana this offseason
Mike Vrabel arrested for felony theft in Indiana
Posted by Mike Florio on April 4, 2011, 3:28 PM EDT
APTwo days before hes due to be in court as a named plaintiff in the Tom Brady antitrust lawsuit, Chiefs linebacker Mike Vrabel had a much different entanglement with the justice system.
The criminal justice system.
Acting on a tip, we contacted the Switzerland County Jail in Vervay, Indiana. Jail Commander James LaPine tells PFT that Vrabel was arrested for theft at the Belterra Casino in Florence, Indiana earlier today.
The charge, under Indiana law, is a Class D felony. LaPine had no information regarding the thing that was allegedly stolen.
In Indiana, theft of anything, regardless of value, is a Class D felony. It carries a sentence of six months to three years in prison.
Vrabel, who also is a member of the NFLPA* Executive Committee, was booked at 5:28 a.m. local time. He was released at 10:39 a.m. after posting $600 bond.
The jail had no further details regarding the specifics of the alleged crime. Also, LaPine declined to provide Vrabels date of birth for cross-reference purposes. But LaPine confirmed that the Mike Vrabel who was arrested, booked, and released is the same Mike Vrabel who plays pro football.
Vrabels agent, Neil Cornrich, was not immediately available for comment. NFLPA* spokesman George Atallah likewise was unavailable via phone.
UPDATE: Via agent Neil Conrich, Vrabel has issued a statement acknowledging the arrest. It was an unfortunate misunderstanding, and I take full responsibility for the miscommunication, Vrabel said. I feel comfortable that after talking with the appropriate parties, we will resolve this matter

The already thin frontcourt at N.C. State lost 244 pounds of promise when 6-8 power forward Thomas De Thaey decided to leave the program to return home to Belgium.
De Thaey will pursue professional opportunities at home and attend to his father, who is ill, according to NCSU. He had played in only three of the team's five games to date and was averaging 9 minutes and 5 points.
De Thaey is a skilled power forward but not exceptionally quick. He had made 3-of-7 from 3-point range to date but did not appear in a surprisingly close win over UNC Asheville, a Friday game in which center Richard Howell and power forward C.J. Leslie played 36 minutes each and the coaching staff did not employ any frontcourt reserves.
"Thomas let our staff know Sunday that he felt it was important to return home to be with his family at this time. I wish him the best," Gottfried said in the school's release.
At a Monday press conference, however, Gottfried said De Thaey remains a part of the team and they would speak later in the day.
De Thaey's departure leaves the Pack with only eight available scholarship players, and only 7-1 Jordan Vandenberg to spell the big men. Vandenberg has played even less than De Thaey; he has appeared in four games for an average of 5 minutes and has scored one basket.
"I would like to thank NCSU and the Wolfpack nation for the opportunity to attend school here and play for the NC State Basketball Team," De Thaey wrote on Twitter. "I appreciate all of the support of my decision to leave and go back to Europe. My father has been battling cancer since April and I need to be closer to my family. Thank you to everyone for your prayers and continued support."
The Pack were picked to finish first in the ACC by both coaches and media, but both groups ignored the potential impact of reserve center DeShawn Painter leaving for Old Dominion. Painter was a key reserve and averaged 20 minutes last season, but he returned home because his grandmother was ailing and he wanted to be nearby. He was cleared for immediate eligibility and is averaging 8.7 points and 6.8 rebounds for the Monarchs.

It's no secret that women are held to a higher standard when it comes to looking great with age. Whether this idea is brought on by general female competition, or due to the fact that celebrities seem to look the same well into middle and old age, average ladies are certainly feeling the pressure. Even though eating well and exercising regularly are important steps to take in the fight against the clock, many beauty products and anti-aging products on the market can also improve how well you look with age. Redbook magazine recently discussed the ins and outs of such items, to help women figure out which products might work for them.
Antioxidant-rich serums
The professionals at the magazine report creams and serums that contain antioxidants are crucial in keeping sun damage at bay. This is because anti-aging skincare products like these contain tons of vitamin C to protect against wrinkles, as well as vitamin E to ward off sun damage.
Investing in a product like La Thérapie Crème Hydrathérapie Intensive Hydration Cream for all skins is a great and easy antioxidant-rich cream to try. Not only does it provide the skin with intense hydration, but also boasts protection from daily pollutants.
Lotion with some SPF
More information than ever has been coming out that details the importance of protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun's rays. Not only can too much sun promote sun spots, it can also greatly increase your chances of developing skin cancer.
Because of this, the experts at the magazine report women need to get serious about protecting their faces and investing in a daily face cream that already contains some SPF might be the easiest option. Bliss products like Bliss Fabulous Everyday Face Lotion SPF 15 offer protection from the sun and help women stay ageless thanks to its antioxidant and vitamin-rich ingredients.
Wrinkle cream
Another important aspect of trying to defy the hands of time is to invest in a high-quality wrinkle cream. Make sure to look for products that contain high concentrations of retinol in order to repair and smooth the imperfections in a flash. Sticking with a nightly regimen can boast results, helping you feel more comfortable in the skin you're in.
Other tips for looking as young as you feel is to drink plenty of water to keep your skin's elasticity intact. Getting enough sleep each night and eating foods high in antioxidants are also important steps.

Expert Advice
CHOOSE BEAUTY: A Profile of Anthony Cole
Anthony Cole, Sebastian International Artist
Hometown: Queens, NY
Career other than a hairdresser: Clothing stylist
Industry icon: Vidal Sassoon
Title of Autobiography: "Live to Inspire"
Personal icon: Mother Teresa. She had very few words but had an amazing impact on the world.
Mantra: It's something I tell my children and it is along the lines of "Do unto others" but it is "Be the person that you want that other person to be in your life."
Early influence: My uncle and my sister were hairstylists so from a very young age, I was in the salon, watching, sweeping floors. I was so inspired by the changes in people and the smiles on their faces when they saw themselves.
Anthony Cole is a self-described "Inspirationalist" because in everything he touches and everyone he influences, his ultimate goal is to inspire. A Sebastian International Artist, editorial stylist and educator, he saw the benefits of beauty early on.
"After cosmetology school, I worked with my uncle for a short time and it was an important education. He specialized in hair extensions and weaves and wigs and it gave me a strong background in building wigs and making custom wigs. We were able to help people with thinning hair, to restore them, and make them feel more secure."
Without exaggeration, Cole says seeing Sebastian artists on stage for the first time took his haircutting "from A to Z" and allowed his artistry to soar.
"When I was training at the Vidal Sassoon Studio in the UK, I went to a Sebastian hair show. They were doing all these disconnections and interior layering but what was different is that they were guided by the eye and the mind, seeing their work in the mind's eye. They were creating all these silhouettes from back cutting, slide cutting. It opened me up to a whole new way of doing hair. Now, I see hair as a fiber that adorns an architecture which is a head. We look at it the way a clothing stylist uses a fiber to adorn the body."
Traveling the world, Cole meets people wanting to follow in his path. It is here that he impresses on them the importance of developing good business sense. "I tell them, first, this all comes with experience, but before they even begin, they have to know what part of the industry you want to be in and live it. The artistry is easy but the business side is crucial. So, if I ask a class of hairdressers, who wants be an editorial stylist, don't raise your hand unless you can name all the key editors at the major fashion magazines. I'm in education and I know everyone in my field, every company, what they're doing, and what they're looking for. When working with a company, I want to know what marketing, sales, and salons all want from me. Most people don't think of the business end of it. Maybe I work on stages but your chair is your stage. Do your homework."
Cole has overcome tremendous loss (Hurricane Sandy destroyed his home and all its contents) and come out stronger. "My personal devastation has inspired me to such a degree. Never think that what you have can't be taken away in moment. It is the friendships that you build around you that are there for you. Your legacy is not what you have at the end it is who you touched."
This clarity of heart and purpose allows him to speak with hairdressers around the world, as fearlessly as the hair fashion he creates. When instructing them on "dare-to-wear" styles he also dares them to care.
"We're the only industry that never goes down during a recession. People always want and need to feel beautiful. When people have lost their hair, they want a wig. When they've been sick, they can't wait to wash and do their hair. When they're going for a job interview, we can give them a great style and make them feel secure. And they get that job. We make such amazing changes in people's lives. Never, ever forget that."

Engines — By
the PMY staff
Diesels — Perkins-Sabre
|2001 Engine Preview
This is a little complicated, so pay attention. Sabre purchases and marinizes engines built by Perkins, which makes a line of marine diesels from 67 to 300 hp. A couple of years ago, Caterpillar purchased Perkins, and last April it announced it had also purchased Sabre to give it a selection of engines rated less than 300 hp. Just as we were going to press, Caterpillar announced the first new product to come out of these acquisitions. It's called the 3056, and it's a Perkins-based six-liter in-line six with ratings of 125 hp as a naturally aspirated engine and 185 or 205 hp in turbocharged and aftercooled form. Weighing 1,342 pounds in the latter two ratings, this engine is clearly just a first step in rounding out the bottom end of the Caterpillar lineup. Although the existing Perkins-Sabre line, which includes the same block rated at 135, 225, 265, and 300 hp, will continue to be sold by Perkins-Sabre dealers, the 3056 will be sold as a Caterpillar by Caterpillar distributors and serviced by them. It will even be painted the familiar Caterpillar yellow.

Connecting HART to the Rest of the Plant
Many Plants Are Using HART Technology Only Once or Twice a Year. You Can No Longer Afford to Do This
There are well over 30 million installed HART devices in the world. Roughly 15% to 20% of them are connected digitally through direct connection to the control system. The rest of the HART population is being used simply as a single PV transmitter or valve positioner over a conventional 4-20m A dc current loop. The HART smart capability of the device is only used for setup and calibration of the instrument. Using HART technology in this way limits its usefulness in the plant to just twice a year.
Automation professionals no longer can afford to do this. There is so much valuable information in HART-enabled devices that the use of that information can seriously affect the profitability of the enterprise. And now, with HART 7 and WirelessHARTTM, there are simple and easy ways to get that information out of the device and into the hands of the engineers, operators and maintenance and operations personnel who need it.
Trapped Inside
The vast majority of HART-enabled devices have only one output connected to the control system—the PV (process variable) that reports on the 4-20 mA loop. Depending on the manufacturer, there is a lot more intelligent information within the device that can be accessed. (See Figure 1.)
Much of that information, such as the other seven cyclically reported process and dynamic device variables, trending information and device status, is useful to the process control system. The broadcast messaging feature, report by exception and time- or condition-based alerts are also important to the process control system and eliminate the need to poll the device for information, as in previous versions of the Protocol.
Other information items stranded inside the transmitter are device configuration, device calibration, the 32-character device tag, loop check data and much more system and process diagnostic information. Some of this is useful to the process control system, but much of it is even more useful for the quality and asset management systems.
Here are some examples of the really useful data that can be found in various types of field devices and final control elements.

Getting the Data Un-Stranded
So why has this data typically remained stranded? For many years, even though it was available, DCSs and PLC-based control systems were not able to take the data in directly. Companies such as Pepperl+Fuchs and Moore Industries International have made up for this by producing HART interface modules. (See Figure 2).
These interface modules typically have taken the HART data, stripped it off the 4-20mA loop and presented it to the control system in the form of Modbus, Modbus TCP serial digital information or additional 4-20mA input signals.
Many control system manufacturers now have HART-enabled I/O, allowing native HART data directly into the DCS, and most of the major vendors are expected to release this feature for HART 7 devices (backward-compatible to earlier HART Protocol versions) in the next 12 months.
The multi-drop, all-digital network configuration of HART-enabled field devices is also available for this purpose.
But what happens if you have a control system that doesn't accept HART data or you don't have room in your marshalling cabinets to install HART Interface Modules? What happens if it just plain costs too much money, and you can't make the justify the project, even though you know you will save time, save money, and provide better performance to the plant—but you just can't prove it in advance?
