Good read and insight. I just hope he can step up up and negate Bosh offensively and provide some post and paint D.

If I had to pick between Bosh and DWest, I would probably go with DWest. I would not have said that 6 months ago. West brings much needed physicality to this team...along with clutch shots and pretty reliable production.
Actually Jared Wade did a similar but better write up, check it out:
This is just a snippet:
You wouldn't know it from the stat sheet, but within the Pacers' offense and locker room, it is immediately clear: David West is Indiana's most important player. Danny Granger is probably still their best player. Roy Hibbert is their defensive anchor. Paul George is their x-factor. The two-headed point guard monster of George Hill and Darren Collison is what can make them incredibly tough to beat.
But it is the play of West that, as they say, stirs the drink.
When he is demanding the ball and unleashing his physicality, this offense is a handful. We saw this often towards the tail end of the regular season when he was at his most aggressive ever in a Pacers uniform. It was especially apparent during his back-to-back games of 21 points, 14 boards and 7 assists (in a dominant Indy win over Milwaukee) and 32 points, 12 boards and 22 FGAs (in a key 3-point win over Philly and his only game of the year taking 20 or more shots).
Sure, he had pedestrian stats all season long, but don't be fooled. Part of this was coming back from offseason ACL surgery. Part was him just trying to fit in. And the biggest part was the fact that his role in the offense is more of a facilitator than a finisher.
Even maintaining this role, he lifted his scoring up to 15 ppg on 54.6% over his final 15 games and had a bunch of nights where he was clearly taking over. Head coach Frank Vogel recognized, embraced and is now trying to harness this new-found aggressiveness.
After West's big Game Four to help the Pacers escape Orlando with an overtime win over the Magic, Vogel said that he wants the team running upwards of 40% of the offense through David. This is quite a jump considering that the team strategy throughout the regular season was closer to 20% usage goal for everyone.
Before you go thinking that West will be launching a Kobe-level of shots against Miami, however, realize that he will still be finishing far fewer plays than he facilitates. For Indiana, he, rather than the point guard, is often the guy who forces the defense to react. His pick-and-roll action and just general ability to thrive in space is the team's greatest weapon. His ability to square up and draw attention allows the weakside action to overcome the help-side defenders who are left to scramble to cover two other players, who are almost all capable of hitting the jumper, driving all the way to the hoop, pulling up in the mid-range or making the right decision to make one more pass. The two caught-off-guard defenders have trouble protecting so much space. And if they do manage to contain the damage, a gap usually opens up somewhere else.
This is why and when the Pacers are so hard to cover when the ball is moving around fluidly.
And it is when their weakside so often becomes their strength.
While other teams rely so much on their best players — their so-called stars or, worse, their so-called "closers" — the Pacers make their hay by not caring who takes the shot. They are just as happy tossing the ball to West and then having him make a read on whether or not it is he that has or the weakside that has the advantage. Because that's the secret to Indiana's attack: it's weakside
Zach Lowe, a basketball mind wiser than I, has some additional thoughts to offer on why West is so key to the Pacers' attack.
He's a helluva player. That's all I can say. It's clear that he's become the go-to option for Indy in the playoffs, and it's not a bad option at all. It's nice to finally have a legit half-court scorer, capable of taking people one-on-one, or drawing defenders and finding the open man. You can tell that he spent the first part of this season 1) getting back in form 2) slowly integrating himself into the team, and then 3) when it came time, he asserted his will and is flexing his skills and that he's *very* serious about this playoff run. He let the team gel over the year and now he's saying "alright guys, good job, now sit back and watch what I can do, you're gonna like it, I've been holding back most of the season."
When you think about our 2-headed post attack of Hibbert and West, and consider taht Miami really only has Bosh to counter them.... it almost makes you believe we have the post-advantage in this series. If the refs can do what Vogel pointed out and not let Miami flop all over the place and thus foul out our front line, we do have a real chance. We have the perimeter defenders to bother Wade/James, we have the post guys to hurt them, we really have quite a bit going into this series that Miami should be concerned about, which... ironically, they don't seem to be.

If West starts hitting on the pick and pops this will open up the rest of the floor too. Imagine Hibbert down low with only Joel Anthony guarding him, or Lebron loosening up on Granger and he gets open for a 3. West is definitely the key at least starting out this series. Let them have to make the adjustments not us.
West is our best player. If we need a clutch basket, I hope we call a play for him.
One thing I would tweak to JayRedd's comments is that West's strongest point is to thrive WITHOUT space. No one on the team has the skill set to effectively attack double and triple teams at the level he does, which runs about a 80% success rate. Almost no doubling slows him down, and some triples fail to deny him a shot, step through or great pass. Danny and Paul struggle to get theirs off the dribble. DC and Hill work best to drive their man back for a pull up jumper. Roy demands a double to stop him, but when it comes he can be hit and miss still in dealing with it.and just general ability to thrive in space is the team's greatest weapon
West sees that s*** and goes totally BAMF on it, typically stepping right through for a layup or showing that and stepping back into the soft, reliable fade. The dude could easily be going for 25 every night, but he plays the team role which makes his stats lower and his importance higher.
The West signing is triple the impact of the Bryon Scott signing.

City airport seeks state funds for tarmac, apron
Vicksburg to apply for $100K grant
City airport seeks state funds for tarmac, apron
Vicksburg to apply for $100K grant
VICKSBURG, Miss. —
Vicksburg officials will apply for a $100,000 grant from the Mississippi Department of Transportation to repair and overlay the tarmac and apron for the municipal airport's fuel farm.
The Vicksburg Post reported that the city's match is about $1,900.
Airport director Curt Follmer said the overlay project is separate from the $280,643 fuel farm project that replaced the airport's 40-year-old system.
Airport manager Frank May said Rebel Services LLC of Ripley, the project contractor, finished in April replacing the old fuel system with an environmentally safe system.
The fuel farm opened in June.
May said the fuel farm consists of two self-contained tanks -- for jet fuel and aviation gas -- and equipment to refuel the airport's fuel truck.

It is very tough to say anything new about this market, mainly because there is nothing new. It continues to plod along in lackadaisical fashion. There is no real selling, but volume is very light with only a few small pockets of momentum. It isn't bad action, but it sure isn't very exciting or dramatic.
The great temptation is to predict that things are about to change and a major move will soon occur. I wouldn't mind seeing that happen, but I see no basis for such a prediction. The market is shrugging off convenient excuses for selling and the dip buyers don't hesitate before jumping in.
The most important thing you can do now is to stay disciplined and stick with trades as long as they are working. Make your buys, set your stops and let things play out. The worst thing you can do is make wild speculative bets based on hope that market conditions are about to shift. They will shift at some point and we'll have to adjust, but the folks who keep hoping for a shift have been racking up losses for a while now.
The hardest thing to do in this market now is to stick with the trend, but that continues to be the way to go.
Have a good evening. I'll see you tomorrow.

Never underestimate the power of a savvy ex-wife or ex-girlfriend. That's the best way to describe Jenny Sanford, former first lady of South Carolina and the ex-wife of congressional candidate Mark Sanford. Now, the Republican Party has cut him loose, to fend for himself in an imploding campaign. The latest nail to his coffin was Jenny Sanford's court filing that accuses him of trespassing in her home in early February. That wasn't the first time either. How incredibly egotistical or controlling. The divorce agreement stipulated that neither could trespass on each other's private residence, but Mark Sanford felt he could do as he pleased. Classic sign of an abuser.
In any case, Jenny Sanford kept a low profile during this time and she played him like a fool. Mark Sanford seems to be narcissistic or desperate because he asked her to run his campaign. I am guessing she declined. What must have enraged Jenny Sanford, was her ex-husband parading his mistress turned fiance on stage during his victory speech when he won the nomination. One of their sons was present and was visibly uncomfortable. Lastly, Jenny Sanford said she didn't leak the trespassing accusation to the media, but she must have known that filing the document in the middle of his congressional campaign would come to light.
On the trespassing issue, she told the Wall Street Journal, "Those documents the AP has are legit. They deal with a number of private domestic matters and it was my understanding they were to remain sealed along with our divorce documents. I did not choose to make this information public nor did I choose the timing of his last trespassing." Wow, it's as though Jenny Sanford silently set a field of landmines and he walked right into it.
Jenny Sanford waged a brutal war against Mark Sanford. Only she didn't do it in public. She did it from behind the scenes. The trespassing news sent the NRCC running and conservative group Concerned Women of America have announced it is contemplating a write-in campaign on behalf of Jenny Sanford in the May 2 congressional race, saying, "CWA's staff is still checking the legalities but I gotta say, Congresswoman Jenny Sanford has a nice ring to it," the organization's head told the Washington Post. Yes, Jenny Sanford would have been a far more credible congressional candidate…..

Bleeding and Clotting Disorders
Protein C Deficiency and Coumadin
My 22 year-old son was diagnosed last year with a Protein C Deficiency and takes coumadin every day (7.5 mg). Should we be concerned over the long-term use of this blood-thinning drug?
Coumadin has really been around for some time, and is thought to be safe as long as he is being monitored carefully with INRs.

More than 100,000 applicants for new police constable roles at Wiltshire Police crashed the force's website upon its launch this afternoon.
The main website had a holding page while the site was experiencing high volumes of traffic and the site crashed for five minutes at 4pm when the job application first went live.
The force announced it was to take on a new batch of constables last week at a stating wage of £19k, and, with the only way to apply being online, there were more than 282,000 hits at www.wiltshirepolice.uk within the first hour.
A spokesman for the force said: "There was a five-minute delay in the recruitment tool being live due to the fact that we had over 100,000 hits in the first five minutes. However, IT managed to get it up at 4.05pm.
"In the first hour there were 282,500 hits on the website for the recruitment.
"The Wiltshire Police website temporarily had a holding page placed on it due to the high level of traffic we had been receiving. Certain systems have had to be closed whilst the recruitment process goes on in order to ensure that it doesn't crash.
"We will work to resume normal service of the website as soon as possible. The holding page contains the pre-assessment tool link, which applicants must apply through."
This is the first time any force in the south west has recruited since the Government's Comprehensive Spending Review in October 2010 and applications will be closed once required levels of interest have been met.
To apply follow the link to the pre-assessment tool on www.apollo.adc.uk.com/s/wiltsexpcrec13. There is also a link is also available on the Wiltshire Police Facebook and Twitter site.
The initial three steps of the application process will take up to 30 minutes to complete and are split into registration, realistic job preview and eligibility assessment.
The force will be recruiting police officers to create a pool of applicants from which to fill a number of future intakes, with a view to successful candidates commencing work for Wiltshire Police in late 2013 and early 2014.
The application process is very robust and lengthy, taking around 46 weeks from the initial application stage to the date employment will commence.
For more information please call the dedicated HR Recruitment phone line on 01380 734 132 or email policerecruit@wiltshire.
Then force has made clear people should not call 101 for information about the recruitment process.

The I Like Trains interview: singer Dave Martin answers my Q&A
I Like Trains have been one of my favourite bands for a long long time. After a significant break they're back with a brand new album and tour... as they embark on their UK leg I found out how it's been going so far, and how climate change inspired the lyrics for He Who Saw The Deep.
Written by Amelia Gregory
I Like Trains by Gemma Smith.
You are currently on a very extensive tour: what prompted the decision to do such a big tour?
The best way to promote an album is to get out there and play it to as many people as possible. We've done more extensive tours than this in the past, so we know we have it in us. It can be hard work, but also a lot of fun. I guess we must be a pretty good live band as we've always had the ability to win over an audience. We've been playing together for 6 years, and it feels like we continue to improve as a band.

A 6-month, parallel, non-interventional trial investigating the level of adherence and the impact of dosing in open-angle glaucoma patients who receive either unfixed therapy with latanoprost once in the evening and timolol twice daily, or latanoprost/timolol fixed combination therapy once in the evening. All patients participating in this observational study will be monitored for their adherence with the use of Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS). At the end of treatment periods treatment satisfaction will be assessed with selected questions from the Treatment Satisfaction Survey-Intraocular Pressure survey. This study will monitor objectively, for the first time, adherence and intraocular pressure control with fixed versus unfixed therapy. Finally it will help us to elucidate the impact of dosing (once-a-day versus three-times-daily) on the level of adherence in glaucoma.

e-books continue to grow in popularity might take heart — in a sense — from an end-of-year piece published in The New York Times.
e-books continue to grow in popularity might take heart — in a sense — from an end-of-year piece published in The New York Times.
The gist of the article was that libraries have discovered a new way to assist readers now that more and more bookstores are closing shop.
Reporter Karen Ann Cullotta put it this way: "As librarians across the nation struggle with the task of redefining their roles and responsibilities in a digital age, many public libraries are seeing an opportunity to fill the void created by the loss of traditional bookstores. They are increasingly adapting their collections and services based on the demands of library patrons, whom they now call customers."
Libraries, Cullotta continues, are refashioning themselves as "vibrant town squares" that display the newest best sellers, lend out Kindles packed with e-books and provide some "grass-roots" training in new technologies.
As a source says early in the piece, libraries, like bookstores before them, have limited shelf space. So as these great institutions change with the times, perhaps there may only be space for what's most popular.
In this way, libraries are getting "less intimidating," said Jeannette Woodward, herself a former librarian and author of Creating the Customer-Driven Library: Building on the Bookstore Model.
Says Woodward: "Public libraries tread a fine line. They want to make people happy, and get them in the habit of coming into the library for popular best sellers, even if some of it might be considered junk. But libraries also understand the need for providing good information, which often can only be found at the library."
That may not be the most enviable development, but for those who love books, it is something.
Here are two new volumes with a good deal more intellectual meat on their bones, especially when compared to Fifty Shades of Grey.
The Dead Sea Scrolls: A Biography by John J. Collins (272 pages; Princeton University Press)
The most recent entry in Princeton's "Lives of Great Religious Books" series, Collins' brief history may appeal to the many people who not that long ago flocked to the Franklin Institute to see the actual scrolls — and all of the accompanying material from the period of their composition.
The author makes it clear from the start that the scrolls might seem an odd candidate for this particular series since they do not represent a single book. Rather, as the scholar writes, they are "a miscellaneous collection of writings retrieved from caves near Qumran, at the northwest corner of the Dead Sea, between the years 1947 and 1956. In all, fragments of some 900 manuscripts were found. They were written mostly in Hebrew, with some in Aramaic and a small number in Greek. They date from the last two centuries BCE and the first century C.E."
Since they were first uncovered quite by chance by a shepherd chasing after one of his errant goats, the scrolls have been controversial and have aroused all sorts of interest beyond the academic arena. One theory that has been floated is that these were works that reflected the thinking of the Essenes, a Jewish sect which had broken off from the mainstream Jewish community in Jerusalem. This monastic sect has seemed to many to be the forerunners of early Christians.
Other writers and scholars have argued that this rather vast "library" may have been spirited away from Jerusalem and hidden to safeguard them from Roman eyes. If they are indeed these types of books, these scholars say the scrolls have far more to do with mainstream Judaism than with some small, albeit fascinating, breakaway sect.
Collins, a professor of Old Testament at Yale University, discusses each of these point of view, plus many more, in his brisk survey of the history and scholarship surrounding these ever-fascinating scrolls and fragments of scrolls.
Jews and Words by Amos Oz and Fania-Oz Salzberger (232 pages, Yale University Press)
Why are you reading these particular words?
Famed novelist Amos Oz and his daughter, lawyer and professor Fania-Oz Salzberger, would say it's because words — to say nothing of books — are of great central importance to Jews.
The authors explore this special relationship by telling stories and relating the theories of scholars — while also talking together and always arguing spiritedly — about Judaism's most important names, adages, disputes, books and even witticisms.
Words, say these two who wield them so effortlessly, are what connects our "founding father" Abraham with the Jews of every subsequent generation.
The argument is framed around four major topics: continuity, women, timelessness and individualism. Filled with a humor and tartness long associated with Oz, this is a brief book but one filled with wisdom and insight worth several evenings of your precious time.

Indoor Grills & Panini Presses
Grilling is a classic cooking method favored by many people. Holidays, tailgating and other traditions have grilling at their core. But in inclement weather, cooks must be creative about how to get their perfectly charred delicacies. Enter the indoor grill. There are several choices to suit the needs of any grill master. For the specialist, infrared or electric-powered indoor grills focus solely on grilling the perfect slow cooker.
Getting creative about cooking surfaces presents so many more options than the stove burners, which are limited in size and number. An electric griddle can be a good solution. The cooking surface is large enough for an entire meal. Particularly favored by breakfast fans, you can cook meat, eggs, and pancakes all on the same surface. Cleanup is easy, and you can get on with your day. A griddle with a large surface means breakfast for everyone, ready at the same time. Extra points if the griddle is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. Combination griddle/grills are true champions of convenience. With these devices, you can cook the entire meal without ever turning on the oven or dirtying a pot. Some have a drip tray for easy cleanup, and a safety auto shut off for when your meal is so satisfying that you can't think about anything else. For breakfast, a griddle with two separately controlled heating elements is great for making pancakes and eggs, bacon or anything else your family could want. It's easy to clean the nonstick surface of a griddle. Breakfast is done without a lot of dirty dishes to start your day.
Think beyond the stove and oven to some of the portable cooking surfaces that can simulate the effects of your outdoor grill, or give you the convenience of a single cook top for an especially large or diverse meal. Small appliances also make great gifts for weddings or housewarming parties. Give the gift of convenience and authenticity for someone you love, or buy one for yourself. When you can have a hot breakfast from the griddle, a panini for lunch and delicious grilled meat and vegetables for dinner, indoor grills and panini presses just might become your go-to cooking surfaces.

Intensive Supervision Program Has High Success Rate
Fairfax County's Intensive Supervision Program was started as a way to keep young people in the community and out of detention facilities using early intervention strategies. Over the last four years, more than 300 juveniles have been served through the Intensive Supervision Program. On average, 63.5 percent of the cases were closed successfully, meaning that the youth were not readmitted due to parole violations or new violations. These juveniles with criminal backgrounds, determined to be at high-risk for re-offending, would have most likely been readmitted to a detention facility prior to the implementation of this program. For more information, contact James McCarron, Special Services, Juvenile & Domestic Relations District Court, at 703-246-2037, TTY 711.
Blood Drive Comes to South County
Fairfax County will pilot blood drives this year at the South County Government Center, 8350 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, in partnership with the American Red Cross and Inova Blood Donor Services.

Rated 5 out of 5 by oldfarmLVT generator cover This cover fits perfectly on our generator, material is very good, looks like the outdoor fabric, just got it so don't know how long it will last, but looks like this will last fora long time. Very pleased with it. November 4, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by BIG1AL Nice lawn mower cover This lawn mower cover is much sturdier than the cover I was using before and fits much better June 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maggieb Generator cover Seems to be holding up just fine. Also it fits perfect. June 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Glad Great cover Needed a cover to keep the snowblower clean when not in use. This cover fit the bil. Not only good looking it also had plenty of room making it a good fit. I was really impressed with the quality.. October 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BackyardGardener This product is a quality item. This lawn mower cover was better than I expected. After having used covers that were either too thin or didn't cover adequately.....this cover was perfect. It is heavy duty and fits the mower perfectly. Easy to use....no ties or bungees required! November 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by SweeDee Lawn Tractor Cover Larger and stronger than other brands. Really like it! November 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LennyH I actually bought the generator cover-not tractor fits well-looks good especially since it is on the deck November 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by R200902 Solved a problem. We recently bought an apartment in a co-op building. There was dissention among some residents about storing the building lawn mower in the basement, even if the gas were drained out for winter. "What if fumes remained and it ignited due to being in close proximity to the gas boiler, etc. And how were we going to cover it to keep it outside." I did what I always do when looking for anything for our home; went to the Improvements catalog, and there it was...a lawn mower cover. It is heavy, well made and just what we needed. It was reasonably priced and did the job just great. Now even the chronic complainers are happy. Thanks for making this so easy to solve. November 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LindaBee Great value My husband is extremely pleased with the quality of the material with which this cover is made -- far superior to those flimsy (and ugly), thin, green ones. This cover is a perfect neutral color for outdoor storage. I'm sure our hot Florida sunshine will affect it eventually, but for the reasonable current price, a replacement cost in a few years will be easy to bear. Here's hoping it performs as well as it appears when new (purchased for Xmas 2012). December 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by FQLHR A very good cover This snow blower cover seems well made and sturdy and fits my machine perfectly. We shall see how it holds up over time. It allows me to get the machine out of the garage where it is in the way most of the time. February 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BobS67 Generator cover Better than expected compared to others I checked out. Firs my 5500 W generator great. Good purchase! April 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GeneP Great Product Having had several lawn mower covers over the years I was delightfully surprised when I opened this one. The quality of the material and the construction of the product far exceeds anything I've previously had. The reasonableness of the price makes this one if the best deals I've encountered in years. June 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by kjmagnon Great Heavy Duty Cover From the pics online the cover looked quite thin but upon receipt I realized it is actually quite thick and appears to be durable. I have not had it long so I cannot comment on its durability yet but am very happy with the products feel and appearance. The elastic bottom does a great job of keeping the cover on the mower. We recently had a severe thunderstorm with 60 mph winds and 4 inches of rain in 1 1/2 hrs. and the cover did not move. Would definitely recommend to others. August 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by suzyqnotingham Impressed with quality we have a snow blower that is 2 years old and we have a storage building too far from the house to get to it when the snow falls, we purchased the cover so that we could store it on our back porch and be more accessible when needed. the cover is heavy duty and covers our snow blower perfectly. one thing, the picture looks like it's see-through and it certainly is not. January 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TerriGail Works great I couldn't find a cover for my generator that was the correct size. This one fits great. September 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CHRY Good Product This cover is heavy duty enough that it should withstand the winter temps and periodic hail storms. October 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dch74 very satisfied The quality of this cover is very good, especially for the price. Seems like it will last for many years. November 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phats Just what I needed I like the cover. It hides the lawnmower. Does not look bad at all. Was well worth the cost. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cover. If I needed another one at some time, I would surly get this one. I can imagine all the other covers of this kind are just as good and will do just great. April 8, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by WesB Generator cover I needed a cover-for my new generator and this was just the ticket. It fits my 8750 generator just fine and is not translucent as pictured, it is opaque which I feel is better. I just wish it had an opening on the exhaust end so it could be covered in bad weather and still be operated. It is worth the price. July 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by DDMT Generator cover Have not had this item for a long time yet, but it seems to be just fine. No complaints. It is used to cover the generator on our semi (tractor), so is exposed to all kinds of weather. November 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ValueSeeker65 Satisfied Customer I ordered a cover for a pressure washer and a generator for part of my husband's Christmas present(s). He seemed very satisfied with both covers and has already put them to use. I cannot comment on the durability or performance as yet since he has put the covers to use for only a week or so. I expect them to last several years, however. They seem like a good product - not flimsy or poorly made. We are most happy with them! December 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shead seam came apart I ordered this product earlier in the winter and when I went to move my snow blower with the cover on it one of the seams came apart. You replaced the cover at no charge to me. Thank you very much! March 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by wannabehappy generator cover I have been searching for a god durable cover for my generator and I seemed to have found it. Very nice in appearance and seems to be durable. September 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Batteryprep Pressure Cleaner Cover I bought this cover fro my Troy-Bilt Model 020207 pressure washer. It fits well over the machine and does cover the engine but I wish it were wide enough to over the frame as well. The quality is better than I expected. August 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by tuxedocats was looking for & settled for: I have been looking for covers for my stationary bike and Nordic Track. that set on my deck all year round. Have had no luck finding covers made for these items, so settled for the best bike cover I could find. Would recommend them to anyone wanting to protect an expensive bicycle. November 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KTange Outdoor Covers So far I really like the cover. I also have the cover for the round Table and Chairs. I really can't comment on the quaility and performance yet. Need to wait until the season is over. I have ordered covers from other places in the past and they didn't hold up as well as I have hoped. January 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Twarogte good quality Was using a plastic tarp. This is a quality cover that is better(although more expensive). While it's too early to be sure, seems like it is durable & will last many years. Had a little difficulty stretching on the 1st time.(I do have a slight handicap that might have contributed to the problem). This cover is much neater & doesn't drag the ground like a tarp. Doesn't need to be secured down. July 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Preppersergeant Simple cover Cover has good appearance and is much better than a tarp. Cannot speak to durability, as this is a new purchase and only time will tell. Purchased two (2) covers, for outdoor and garage usage. December 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Shasha1 Lawn Tractor Cover is ok. I was disappointed in the size of the Lawn Tractor Cover. We own a John Deere Lawn Tractor with the leaf holder attached on the back and even though your picture shows a holder attached to the back in the picture, it did not fit my lawn tractor. However, I kept the cover and maybe I can find some other use for it. June 13, 2014
Are those covers see-through as shown in the photos?
Hello, we apologize for the confusion but these covers are not see through. The images on our website show how the covered item would look or fit inside a cover. Thank you!

Penn Medicine: Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative Official Study Site and Bioanalytics Core Lead
The Penn Medicine Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center announced that it is one of 18 official study sites for a $40-million, five-year international observational clinical study: the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI). This landmark study sponsored by The Michael J. Fox Foundation will use a combination of advanced imaging, biologics sampling and behavioral assessments to identify biomarkers of Parkinson's disease progression. Enrollment of 20 patients and 10 controls at the Penn Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center is expected to begin later this month and the trials will continue for approximately two years.
"PPMI will provide invaluable data on the early Parkinson's disease process, laying the critical groundwork for breakthrough therapies that are aimed at the underlying mechanisms of disease," said Dr. Matthew Stern, professor of neurology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and director of the Penn Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center. "Penn Medicine has been at the forefront of Parkinson's disease research and care for years. It is deeply meaningful to have been selected as a PPMI site and to have our commitment to speeding Parkinson's solutions recognized."
Michael J. Fox said, "This is an ambitious undertaking, no doubt. But nothing worth having comes easily. Everything we've learned up to now, the partnerships we've worked to forge, the results of research we've funded — it's all put us in position to launch this effort. We're ready to roll up our sleeves and, hopefully, get this done."
"From the patient's perspective, participation in PPMI is quite distinct from a typical clinical trial. Rather than helping to test a single therapy, patients and health controls who participate in PPMI will be building resources to accelerate development of a multitude of treatments for years to come," said Dr. Andrew Siderowf, associate professor of neurology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, who is a member of the PPMI study steering committee and a site investigator at Penn. "We are certainly asking patients and controls to do a lot in this study, but the product of their efforts will be a cornerstone of the next generation of PD research."
Dr. John Q. Trojanowski, director of the Penn Udall Center for Parkinson's Research and Dr. Leslie M. Shaw, professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, will lead the PPMI Bioanalytics Core. They will be responsible for analyzing samples collected from all trial participants, using a test they designed, standardized and validated to measure levels of specific biomarkers in spinal fluid. Drs. Trojanowski and Shaw, who also serve as co-leaders of the Biomarker Core for the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), will provide additional experience to consult with the PPMI Biorepository Core, to ensure the samples are collected and stored in a standardized way. In addition, they will be part of a collaborative group evaluating any novel diagnostic biomarkers that emerge in the course of the trial, to see if they can and should be integrated into the PPMI study.
"This bold cutting-edge study addresses an important, unmet need for development of better Parkinson's disease diagnostics that will have as profound an impact on the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease as the ADNI study is having now on Alzheimer's disease," said Dr. Trojanowski and Dr. Shaw. "Now is the time to move full speed ahead with PPMI. We applaud The Michael J. Fox Foundation for its vision and leadership with this project."
A biomarker could be any objectively measurable physical characteristic associated with the presence of disease (diagnostic or risk marker) or any characteristic that changes over time in a way that can be tied to the progression of disease (progression marker).
"There is no doubt that finding a biomarker is critical to the development of next-generation therapies, and that the lack of this tool is among the most critical issues facing the PD research field," said Katie Hood, CEO of The Michael J. Fox Foundation. "MJFF has funded biomarker discovery efforts for years. Now we are poised for a concerted, unified effort that will take these discoveries to the next level."
The lack of a PD biomarker impedes PD diagnosis and treatment, and also critically stalls the development of improved therapies, particularly therapies to slow or stop the progression of PD, something no currently available treatment can do. Clinical trials of new, potentially disease-modifying Parkinson's treatments are at risk of yielding inconclusive results, because there is no way to measure the effects of those treatments objectively.

MIAMI (AP) — For three quarters, LeBron James was statistically terrible. And then one sequence summed up why he's simply the best player in the game.
A sensational block on a dunk try. An assist to set up a 3-pointer. A deflection, a runout and then a slam of his own, twisting on the rim and waving his arms for good measure as the Miami Heat celebrated.
It all came in a span of 38 seconds of the fourth quarter, and when it was over the San Antonio Spurs surrendered. Game 2 would soon belong to the Heat, and the NBA Finals are knotted at a game apiece.
This was the "off" night for James: 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. And the Heat won in a blowout nonetheless, 103-84.

A GROUP of familiar Dudley faces are heading north for a tribute trek in honour of a local hero.
Kingswinford North and Wall Heath Councillor Dave Tyler and Kingswinford businessman Shaz Saleem are among a group of borough civic figures getting set to take on Ben Nevis to raise charity cash and pay tribute to mountaineer, peace campaigner and fundraiser Bert Bissell.
Dudley North MP Ian Austin, the Mayor's consort Councillor Adam Aston, and the Deputy Mayor - Councillor Steve Waltho - will also be heading up the mountain on Wednesday August 6.
Mr Bissell, who died in 1998 aged 96, lived in Dudley and founded the Young Men's Bible Class at Vicar Street in the town.
He climbed Ben Nevis more than 100 times, including on VJ Day in 1945. He also built a peace cairn at its summit.
He was made a freeman of the borough in 1981 and there is a monument to him at Coronation Gardens opposite Dudley Council House.
Labour MP Ian Austin said: "He was a legendary figure and an inspiration to so many of us.
"I've often thought we ought to do something in his memory and climbing the mountain he conquered so many times to raise money for local charities seems a fitting tribute."
Cllr Waltho added: "We also intend to visit Bert's grave and hopefully re-kindle a civic link with Fort William by meeting one or more of their members."
Half of the money raised from the trek will go to the Mayor's charities - Action Heart and Guide Dogs - and the rest will be split equally between the children's unit at Russells Hall Hospital, the Royal British Legion and Black Country Fast Aid to support local ambulances.

When it comes to bracelets, different styles of bracelets would quickly come into people's minds, even if they cannot tell the names of some of the bracelets, or when the name of a certain bracelet is mentioned, people may be not sure which bracelet is the exact one. Getting to know the knowledge about bracelets and selecting the right one, a lady can radiate charm in an elegant fashion.
Bangle Bracelets
Unlike flexible bracelets, the bangle bracelet is shaped in a solid form. The word "bangle" is derived from Hindi bungri, originally referring to glass. Besides glass, the bangle bracelet can be made of precious materials, such as gold, jade, etc. as well as other non-precious materials, such as ferrous metals. A pleasant jingle sound can be made along with the movement of arms when a group of bangle bracelets are worn.

6 Things That Will Be Better When Cars Drive Themselves
For Jim Poulos of Melbourne Beach, Fla., a lifelong passion started with daily childhood walks past car dealership showrooms.
"I grew up in Chicago and when I walked to elementary school, I went past both the Ford and Chevrolet dealerships and saw all the new models displayed in the showrooms behind huge plate-glass windows," he said. "When the new models were introduced, the dealers would cover the windows with paper so you couldn't see the new cars in the showroom until the official introduction date. I would look for any hole in the paper or a gap between the sheets to get a glimpse at the new models. I could name every make, model, year—and even what engine it had in it back then."

DORAL, Fla. – Tiger Woods is a go.
The world's No. 1 player, who pulled out with five holes to play in the final round of last week's Honda Classic because of back spasms and a lower back injury, said Wednesday at Trump National Doral that he will make his 12:39 p.m. ET tee time with Adam Scott and Henrik Stenson for Thursday's first round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.
"I feel better. I feel good," Woods, the defending champion, said in a press conference before he went to see the revamped Blue Monster for the first time. Woods, who said he hit just a few shots on Tuesday since withdrawing on Sunday – the longest shot he hit was 60 yards – planned to just walk the course and chip and putt. Woods said he "literally couldn't twist anymore" before he walked off the Champions Course after 13 holes in the Honda Classic. He said it got to the point "where I'm going to be doing probably more harm than good."
"It's been a long couple days of treatment, non-stop, to get everything calmed down," added Woods, who has won four times at Doral. "The back feels good."
PREVIOUSLY: Woods withdraws from Honda Classic
Woods, who has walked off the golf course before completing the round four times in the last five years, said "a bad back is no joke."
"As we get older, and I've learned it as I've aged, I don't quite heal as fast as I used to. I just don't bounce back like I used to. That's just part of aging," said Woods, 38, who has dealt with knee, back, elbow, and neck and Achilles problems throughout his years. "There are times watching my kids run around, I wish I could do that again. They just bounce right up, bruises and all and they are gone in a day. It's just not that way anymore. But you've just got to take a more global look at it sometimes and take a step back. We try to manage that all the time."

The latest injury may have changed Woods' thinking going forward and how he'll deal with injuries. When asked if he has begun to worry about the long-term effects his back injuries will have on his body, Woods said he is.
"I think we have to take a more global look at it, yeah, absolutely, because it comes and goes," Woods said about what he and his team of confidants will do in the future. "We've got to make sure that we do preventative things to make sure that it doesn't happen and adjust certain things, whether it's swing, lifting, whatever it may be, you have to make certain adjustments. We've done that throughout my entire career and this is no different."
Woods is off to the worst start of his 18-year professional career. In his first start, he missed the 54-hole cut at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, where he's won eight times. The following week he tied for 41st in the Dubai Desert Classic. Then he withdrew after 67 holes in the Honda Classic.
Barring injury, Woods will play four rounds this week because there is no cut. He also is scheduled to defend his title in the Arnold Palmer Invitational in two weeks. Seeing as he has never played the week before the Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational will be his last competitive tournament before he goes for his fifth green jacket in the first major of the season.
Woods said he is more concerned about being healthy enough to tackle Augusta National than he is with getting in enough competitive rounds of golf. He mentioned that before he won his 14th and last major on a broken leg, the 2008 U.S. Open, he didn't play one competitive round for six weeks. He had knee surgery following the Masters that year.
"I think it's more important to keep my feels and making sure I can have my own feels I can call upon, and that comes from practice," Woods said "I didn't hit a lot of balls back then because my leg was busted, but I chipped and putted a ton. And so I still kept the feels in my hands and I think that's what saved me that week, that particular week, and has saved me in a bunch of week throughout my career.
" … I'm still kind of constantly looking at (the Masters), looking at managing myself through there and making sure everything's good. I want to be strong and fit and healthy to be able to play that golf course and give it my best. So looking at scheduling and practice sessions and training and all that stuff, we have taken a really good look at it and really tried to come up with a good plan so that I can compete and play and be ready and try and win my fifth jacket."

While nearly everyone affiliated with American soccer is looking forward to the MLS Cup final on Dec. 1, Los Angeles Galaxy captain Landon Donovan sounds increasingly like someone who is more excited about Dec. 2.
Donovan, the U.S. men's national team's all-time leading scorer, has hinted several times the past six months that he has become fatigued by the physical and emotional demands exacted by years of constant soccer. In an interview with ESPN that was broadcast late Wednesday, Donovan said he is ready for a break — perhaps a long one.
"I need time where I can just pause and breathe and rest and let my body heal, let my mind refresh. I think at that point I'll be excited to play again," Donovan said Wednesday. "If I'm not enjoying playing anymore, the World Cup is the last thing on my mind. I need to make sure I'm enjoying playing every day. If I'm not enjoying, none of that stuff really matters.
"Your body is going to tell you it's time to take a break, and that's what my body has done this year — there's no question."
Donovan has had to deal with a series of knocks and ailments this season, from quadriceps and hamstring injuries to bronchitis and the deep bone bruise that kept him out of last month's climactic World Cup qualifiers.
He also has revealed that he has grown weary of the fame and scrutiny that accompanies his role as the long-time face of MLS and the U.S. national team.
— Straus: Brutal honesty: U.S. soccer needs Donovan more than he needs it
"At my core, I'm a pretty simple kid from a small town and I've been doing this a long time. I'm actually excited for the day when I can step away from it and just be a normal person again," he said in May.
Speaking to ESPN this week, he said, "This isn't just something that came into my head yesterday. This has been a long time coming. The hard part is I really love (the Galaxy). I love this city. I love playing for this team. I love playing for our owner. So it would be hard to leave here. ... But maybe you need something different. Eight years of anything is a long time."
Donovan's Galaxy contract runs through the end of the 2013 season. He has spent two of the past three winters on loan with English Premier League club Everton but told ESPN he has no interest in another short-term engagement.
The national team, scheduled to begin the final round of World Cup qualifying in early February, might not come calling either. Donovan appeared in six of 13 U.S. games this season and says his absence has created some awkward feelings.
"When you're not a part of the team all the time, you can start to question your value and your worth there. I think about this and I wonder that from time to time, 'Am I capable and do they still want me around?' " he asked.
"It's probably affected my relationship with everybody on that team. When you're a guy who's never been hurt, for the most part, and then all of a sudden you have all these injuries, I think people start to question it. 'Maybe he's faking it or maybe he's not really hurt or maybe he doesn't want to come in.' That's really frustrating.
"Candidly, it's pretty hurtful because I've spent more time on the soccer field than anybody in the history of (the U.S.) program. I've played in games I shouldn't be playing in for health reasons or otherwise. ... I feel like I've given a lot to this program and when you get the sense that people think you're not genuine, then that can hurt you."
No U.S. player has criticized Donovan publicly.
Coach Jurgen Klinsmann, speaking to reporters during a Thursday conference call, said he was unaware of any friction within the team and noted that Donovan has made a good-faith effort to remain involved. In fact, he flew to Miami ahead of last month's qualifiers to allow U.S. trainers to examine his injured knee before returning to L.A.
"Absolutely from our end it's been no problem," Klinsmann said Thursday. "I don't know if he's feeling that some players didn't buy it. I didn't see that. I told him always we take that exactly the way it is and we make the best out of it, which we did."
Klinsmann reiterated that he felt Donovan's decision to discuss his feelings so openly was "really courageous" and that it was his job to "try to understand (a player's) personal situation." The coach said that when the MLS playoffs conclude he will reach out to Donovan and make time to discuss his future.
Donovan told ESPN that he talks with Klinsmann "from time to time" but that their interaction has been limited by his absences.
"It's really down to him and what he wants to further achieve in his career," Klinsmann said. "Whatever he desires to do will be very respected by us, and therefore it might be easier to get that answer from him directly."
The U.S. will play Russia in an exhibition Nov. 14. Donovan is unlikely to be involved and certainly won't be if the Galaxy are competing in the MLS Cup semifinals. The real question is whether he'll play a part in World Cup qualifying next year. Klinsmann said that as long as Donovan wants to be part of the national team, he'll be under consideration for a spot. But the key will be Donovan's desire.
"I don't feel any obligation to play," Donovan said. "I don't feel any responsibility to play. I think I've put a lot into this whole thing. I'm proud of what I've done and what I've been a part of. I can't fake it."

Let me get something out of the way before I get started; Mike Dunleavy is one of my favorite players. I am not critical of him at all. He's just not a good fit for Danny. I also want to say this; I may love Paul George, but I am not going to be biased when it comes to other players like others are with Hansbrough when Josh was starting.
The main reason for my proposal is that Paul George can create for himself and others. Dunleavy and Rush don't have that ability. He needs a more solid role as he's been pretty good in pretty limited minutes. He's showing some crazy abilities, and his shot selection is better than Mike's. Rush's team defense isn't very good not to mention that he's kind of fallen off of a cliff since the beginning of the season when he was showing off his handles and driving ability.
We also need transition buckets. Paul George and Tyler Hansbrough will get those. Paul George is also the future. Even though he's going to give us some headaches, he is going to be here while Mike most likely is not. In Rush's three years, he's defined his role (sixth man). George has potential and not only will he get better with more playing time, but he's also already better than our other options.

ADRIAN Foster has challenged his side to come full circle and celebrate dispelling their home hoodoo by turning Badgers Hill into a fortress.
Frome notched their first home victory since March last year with a hard-fought success over Banbury United on Wednesday night.
After seeing his side end their agonising wait for some home comfort, boss Foster is targeting a more positive run of form for the Robins.
"You could see in the players' body language that they were thinking 'oh, we're playing at home again' but I had to tell them that there was no pressure," he said.
"When I was a player, I didn't care whether I was playing at home or away – all that mattered was putting the shirt on and playing football.
"They went out there and played ever so well. They were an absolute credit to everyone involved behind the scenes at the football club.
"At 9.30pm on Wednesday night, everyone was jumping around in the dressing room and it was great to see.
"I want us to turn it around and go on an unbeaten run at home now. I want us to say 'this is Frome Town's ground and anyone that comes here has to work hard to get anything'."
Defender Jack Vallis' first goal for Frome to put the hosts ahead and, after Kwame Forah felled Ricky Hulbert, they had the chance to go 2-0 up but keeper Forah saved Ben Wood's spot kick.
The visitors won a penalty of their own in the 40th minute, Scott Bridges hammering home the equaliser before on-loan Swindon Town striker Mark Francis restored the home side's lead with a goal on his debut.
Bridges levelled again on the stroke of half-time but Wood popped up with a second-half winner.
After securing an initial one-month loan deal for Francis, Foster is hoping to take advantage of his relationship with Swindon manager Mark Cooper, who he played with at Exeter City and Rushden & Diamonds.
He said: "I played with Mark at a few clubs – you might not stay in touch with everyone but he's one of the ones I have done.
"He's invited me down to their ground to have a look at how they do things at a professional club so I've got a little bit of a link there."
Hulbert's late strike wasn't enough to prevent a 2-1 defeat to bottom side Bashley on Saturday.
Midfielder Harry Baker made his return in that clash after joining from Foster's former side Gillingham Town while midfielder Alex Lapham and forward Wood have turned down approaches from Paulton Rovers and Bridgwater Town respectively.
Frome go to title favourites Hemel Hempstead Town tomorrow.

(1,925 g) Betancourt Nutrition Big Blend Proteosynthetic is the world's first myo-augmenting BCAA nitrate blend, enhanced with 22 proteins, amino acids and enzymes, ready to stimulate whole-body protein synthesis. The muscle-building possibilities are endless! Betancourt Nutrition's crack team of protein supplement formulators lock themselves inside their in-house cGMP manufacturing lab. Their mission is to develop the "best and the biggest", a protein supplement so massive in its content of myo-augmenting proteins and amino acid derivatives that it will produce anabolic behaviors quantitatively and qualitatively unlike anything else on the market for years to come. Two months and more than a dozen pilot batches later, they emerge from the lab with new Big Blend Proteosynthetic. If you're looking to get bigger with the best, then look no further than the inside of this bottle. Redefining "Big": Big BlendEach serving of new Big Blend contains a myo-augmenting blend of refined proteins and amino acid derivatives from a mind-blowing 22 different sources, all fortified by a low-calorie, low-glycemic infrastructure of brown rice bran, proteolytic enzymes and carbohydrate. With each ingredient having several potential mechanisms of action, Big Blend is capable of an incredibly diverse array of anabolic behaviors once it gets inside your body. The muscle-building possibilities are virtually endless.Importantly, Big Blend supports maximal rates of protein synthesis in the whole body - muscle as well as non-muscle tissues. And it tastes as big as it acts! Each gram of Big Blend contains ingredients never before found in a single scoop: Multi-Species Proteins: Big Blend prepares your stretched and strained muscle fibers for a perfect "anabolic storm" by feeding them precision-processed refined proteins from Casein, Milk, Brown Rice and Whey. Amino Acid Derivatives: Amino acid derivatives like Nitrated BCAAs, N-Acetyl l-Phenylalanine, Glutamine Ethyl Ester HCl and L-Leucine Alpha-Ketoglutarate offer unique pharmacokinetic properties not available from food. Digestive Stimulators: Low-calorie, low-glycemic brown rice bran, carbohydrate and enzymes stimulate your digestive tract and help improve the anabolic efficiency of Big Blend's many proteins and amino acids. When the perfect workout collides with perfect nutrition, rates of muscle protein synthesis climb mountains.

Why Supplements?Visit any highly-populated cosmopolitan city in the world. Walk down the busiest streets. You name the city, chances are you won't see many bodies flexing large, polished muscles. Exceptionally-built physiques are rare --perhaps 1 in 100,000. Normal Begets NormalThe rarity of muscular bodies is easy to explain: It's not easy building muscle. To make your muscles bigger you must push them far beyond the normal physiological call of duty. Resistance exercise, the mainstay of bodybuilding training, seems to do the trick. After pushing your muscles "beyond normal" in the gym, however, you need to support them nutritionally to the same degree. It's here that dietary supplements can make your life much easier and more enjoyable. Why Betancourt Nutrition?Long overdue is an intelligently rebellious company capable of saving the bodybuilding community from atrophy, not only of muscle but of mind. The goal of Betancourt Nutrition is to provide the hardcore bodybuilding nonconformist with an alternative to the homogenized sameness of the suburban supplement scenery by developing "addictively sweet" and "immediately anabolic" formulas capable of reliably re-charging the senses. Training, recovering, building, improving –Betancourt Nutrition has broken out of the soulless, tasteless mold of contemporary supplement formulas and made the achievement of these goals intensely real and flavorful. Setting Betancourt Nutrition further apart from the "herd" is the fact that it has its own manufacturing laboratory where its team of expert nutritional architects formulates, tests and certifies every supplement with the attention to detail, passion and dogged perseverance of makers of fine wine. Betancourt Nutrition was founded by Jorge Betancourt in 2002 in Miami. Jorge is a husband, father and former National Physique Committee (NPC) bodybuilding champion athlete and media spokesperson with over 20 years of experience and a reputation for credibility. About Jorge BetancourtIn the 1990s a young athletic prodigy from Miami by the name of Jorge "Chic" Betancourt emerged on the competitive bodybuilding scene. His long, full muscles, remarkable symmetry and sharp definition had never before been seen in someone so young. Upon winning the Teenage USAs in 1989 and the Teenage Nationals in 1990, Jorge quickly became as popular a media figure as top professional bodybuilders vying for the Mr. Olympia title. He received hundreds of letters from fans around the world every week and made repeat appearances on ESPN's bodybuilding programs in addition to starring in the best-selling video Teen Wonderboy. In 1991, Jorge became the first and only teenager to win the Southern States, a prestigious regional bodybuilding competition. At 5'5" and 165 pounds, he handily defeated men as much as fifteen years older and seventy pounds heavier, proving that quality can supersede quantity. There was talk of him becoming one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. Then, just as suddenly as Jorge had appeared on the scene, he vanished from it. Though most young men in his position would have blindly pursued more titles and trophies, Jorge shrewdly decided to make his mark on the business side of the bodybuilding industry. He built a successful personal training facility in exclusive Coral Gables where he employed a fully certified staff of personal trainers catering to south Florida's elite. In 2001 he decided that that he wanted to make a positive impact on the bodybuilding community by getting into the business of formulating dietary supplements for this unique breed of athlete. Jorge relates: "I knew that with the knowledge and experience I had accumulated over the years, I could formulate an entirely unique line of supplements that would simplify and excite the serious bodybuilding athlete's life and provide him or her with results that can be seen and felt immediately. I'm known for having values that are consistent with my actions. I had no doubt that with the right people and technologies behind me I could build supplements with a reputation for the same."
