Lortab Information:
What is Lortab?
Lortab is a combination of two pain relievers, hydrocodone and acetaminophen. It may be prescribed to treat pain, lower fever, and to suppress persistent coughing. The Lortab medicine works by changing the way the brain and central nervous system perceive and react to pain. It also diminishes the activity in the area of the brain that controls coughing.
How do I take Lortab?
Lortab, in either form, is taken orally, without regard to food; the tablets may be taken with water. The frequency of dosing will depend on the condition being treated, the strength of the medication, and the individual's medical profile. Follow the dosing instructions that accompanied the prescription; do not take more or less of this medication than has been prescribed.
Before taking Lortab, tell your doctor if:
- You are allergic to hydrocodone, acetaminophen, or any of the ingredients in the Lortab drug
- You are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or are nursing a child
- You are taking any medications, vitamins, or supplements
- You have Addison's disease
- You have lung disease or respiratory problems
- You have glaucoma
- You have kidney or liver disease
- You have a gastrointestinal disease or condition
- You have a disease of the urinary tract, or prostatic hypertrophy
What are the possible side effects of taking Lortab?
Some have reported symptoms of an allergic reaction after taking Lortab. Mild symptoms such as fuzzy thinking, constricted pupils, dizziness, drowsiness, dry throat, mood swings, nausea, vomiting, constipation, urination problems, or a rash or itching should be monitored and reported to your doctor if they do not go away or they get worse. Severe side effects such as chest tightness, signs of an allergic reaction, slowed breathing, or signs of drug tolerance or abuse require immediate medical attention.
What if I forget to take a dose of Lortab?
If you forget your scheduled dose of your Lortab medicine, take it as soon as you remember and are able. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and return to the original schedule. Do not take multiple doses to make up for one that was missed.
How do I store Lortab?
Keep Lortab pills and syrup in their original packaging, out of the reach of children and away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not allow the liquid to freeze. To help prevent Lortab abuse, keep a record of all doses and when they are taken. Dispose of any expired or unused amounts according to the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist.
What happens if I overdose on Lortab?
If an overdose of the Lortab drug is suspected, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. If the individual has stopped breathing or lost consciousness, contact Emergency Services at 911. Signs of an overdose include constricted pupils, sleepiness, slurred speech, nausea, vomiting, slowed breathing, weakness, coma, bradycardia, hypotension, cold and clammy skin, and heart attack.
Lortab has a potential for abuse, tolerance development, and addiction. Contact your doctor if you become pregnant while taking this medication. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Lortab may make you drowsy; do not drive, operate heavy machinery or equipment, use power tools, or handle firearms or explosives until its effects are known.
Brand Names
Lortab is a brand name for a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen; it is also marketed under other brands such as Hycet, Lorcet, Norco, Verdrocet, Vicodin, and Xodol. To keep Lortab prices manageable, coupons can be downloaded from HelpRx that can lower costs by as much as 75% at the pharmacy of your choice.

Remarkable Blenko Glass Ensemble
Remarkable 25 piece Blenko glass ensemble dating from the 1930's – 1960's. These examples were designed by Wayne Husted and some have the etched Blenko signatures others labels. These were collected over a period of 25 years and are all in excellent original condition. They range in size from 21″ tall to 5″ tall. We would love to sell this as an ensemble but would consider breaking it up if necessary.

Recently, H&H's big cheese, Liz Maverick, was talking about taking a train to a friend's house when she realized she'd left her book at home.
The horror! What do you do? Liz scurried to a bookstore at the train depot and got something to read, not necessarily something in her favorite genre, but it was something, at least.
What have you done in similar situations? Have you found anything you loved you might not have normally picked up? What if there was no bookstore? What would you do then?

Life is really complicated. That of course is an understatement of great magnitude. It is intricate and lovely and horrid and sometimes there really are no words for what life is.
Do you cringe when it comes to holidays? Not the holidays themselves. But the visits to see family and sit down at a lavish meal, and have awkward conversations with people you really don't even like. Do you spend hours surreptitiously glancing down at your wrist watch to see if you've been there long enough to be able to say it's time to leave without being rude.
And you know you will hug them goodbye and say: "Let's not wait so long to get together!" And then you will get in your car and say to your husband or significant other: "Did you see what she was wearing? Oh my God! What was she thinking?"
Because, you see, family is complicated as well.
We are born into families not of our choosing. So the percentages are kind of against you right there. What's the chance that you will love every single one of your relatives?
Nil to none.
I stopped going to family holidays a long time ago. I am uncomfortable and anxious the whole time, so how is that a holiday? How is that cause for celebration?
And for people like me that were born with less filters than perhaps 80% of the population, you are afraid that, at the very least, you are going to manage to offend someone while being witty. (And you're witty, because that's how you cope with being anxious.) And at the very most, you might end up with mashed potatoes in your face.
Family get-togethers are just not for me. I think at holidays we should get to do whatever we want. Celebrate in our very own way. Why do there have to be rules anyway?
Usually I am outside taking photos and watching birds interact. Or inside with my dogs being appreciative that they love me no matter what. I don't know why someone said dog is man's best friend. Men don't tend to have or need best friends as much as women.
We women need our pupsters. Or kitty cats.
I use to get physically sick before holiday dinners. I'd turn to my then husband at the very last minute and say: "I'm sorry. I just can't do it. (This was husband #2 who was the kindest one of all, and I should have realized that before I left him and ended up with husband and scoundrel #3.)
He'd have this stricken look on his face. "Not again," he'd say wearily. "You did this last time. What do I say to Mom and Dad."
"Tell them I just can't. I don't know. Say what you think is most acceptable." And he'd sigh and go get in the car and head to the holiday dinner he probably didn't want to go to either. But he wasn't paralyzed over it like I was. So he was the token attendee.
I can't begin to count how many holiday dinners I have not attended, and then sat there and felt bad because I was disappointing someone. And I felt selfish for doing so. But not bad enough to call him and say come back and get me.
Life and holidays are complicated. Relatives probably kill one another more than strangers. Who do the police look to after a murder? Well, the next of kin of course. Because who could get mad enough to resort to violence more than someone who had this love/hate relationship with them?
What do you do about complicated family and holiday get-togethers? Do you suck it up and grit your teeth and soldier on? Or do you have a long running record of being the no-show?

The Outdoor Retailer trade show, held twice a year in Salt Lake City, is the world's leading trade show for the outdoor industry. Insightful, real-time reporting of the product releases and happenings at each OR show has been a hallmark of Backpacking Light coverage. At each show, BPL editors from across the country converge in Salt Lake and execute a 3 or 4 day all out assault to bring you the latest information on new products, trends and events. Outdoor Retailer is truly a huge event; over 14000 total attendees, more than half of them representing exhibitors.
A small portion of the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market floor. The show spills over into several other huge rooms.
For Backpacking Light staff, it all starts about 6 weeks ahead of the show. We look at our schedules and determine who can make it for some or all of the weekend. Typically, we'll have 6 to 10 BPL staff members on hand. In order to meet with all the manufacturers that are important to BPL, we need to schedule appointments during the show. About a month ahead of time we'll begin that process, doing our best to coordinate which editors want to talk to which manufacturers. We post an online schedule, and set up individual or group appointments, depending on the diversity of the lineup from the manufacturer. And we each try to leave some time aside so we can troll the showroom floor looking for hidden surprises.
Backpacking Light's objectives at Outdoor Retailer are multi-faceted. Our primary mission is to provide complete and comprehensive coverage of new products and trends of interest to the lightweight backpacking community. Outdoor Retailer is also an excellent opportunity for the BPL staff to meet with product designers, public relations staff and leaders from all across the outdoor industry. We get a chance to learn about product directions directly from the source, and we can provide feedback to manufacturers on current and new products. Most of the major component producers attend OR as well. BPL staff will meet with fabric suppliers, insulation designers and other product component manufacturers to keep abreast of new technology and develop working relationships. Lastly, OR can be great fun and is an opportunity for the widespread BPL staff to rendezvous, share our passion for the outdoors, and get to know each other a little better. I've attended two OR shows in my three years with BPL and both have been fun, exhausting and eye-opening.
11:30 pm Friday Night
After nearly 5 hours of delays at the airport, I arrive at BPL Command Central, our hotel near the Salt Lake City Convention Center. Ryan Jordan and Mike Martin are working away on their laptops, finishing write-ups from their day in the snow at Backcountry Base Camp. I haven't met Mike before, so it's nice to meet another BPL staffer. Will, Janet, Carol are asleep. Vic and Joel are on the phone. I hit the sack.
8:00 am Saturday Morning
Five of us cram into Will and Janet's car and head over to the convention center. I have appointments set up every hour. Today I'll meet with Arc'Teryx, Outdoor Research, MontBell, The North Face, GoLite, Sierra Designs and Ibex. The first few appointments go well – some nice new products are using the new Gore Proshell technology. Between appointments I'm cruising for the new and different, and also for coffee.
11:00 am Saturday Morning
Several of us rendezvous at MontBell. They have some very nice new products. My favorite is the new kilt. It's not a new product quite yet; but it's different and creative, and might have some unexpected uses. We have a lot of fun taking photos with the kilt. I have lunch with Carol, Ryan and Ken. We compare notes and then split up before our next appointments. Walking the floor, I note a couple of trends. There are loads of exhibitors showing off products for dogs – food, chew toys, you name it. Lots of dogs walking around too. Second, there are many products and manufacturers with "green" and earth friendly products or manufacturing processes. Let's hope that trend is not just a fad and continues to gain momentum.
2:00 pm Saturday Afternoon
Another group appointment, this time with GoLite. Lots of changes in their lineup.
A group meeting at GoLite. From left: Andrew Skurka, Demetri Coupounas (GoLite co-founder), Jess Jaret (GoLite PR), Mike Martin, Ken Knight, and the back of my head.
4:00 pm Saturday Afternoon
I'm getting tired. I'm overloaded with information. But I meet Ken Knight and we talk for 45 minutes with Andrew Caughey at Ibex. We see the new items and talk for a long time about wool manufacturing processes. We agree that a detailed article on this process might be fun to do and interesting. I file that thought away for later consideration.
6:00 pm Saturday. Back at BPL Command Central
We meet back at the hotel. We all flop into one room and compare notes. What did we see? Any breakthrough products? Ryan sets the bar pretty high, so we only write about products that are noteworthy. If it is just a very good new product, but not really breaking any new ground, we won't write it up. There is lots of good discussion about what is worthwhile. I whip out the inflatable vest I found at AeroVest. We have a good time tossing around ideas about how we could use the vest. Ryan doles out the assignments and we all know what we've got to do. This is the best part of the day – listening to my comrades discuss what is notable – and having a good time to boot.
Reviewing the day and handing out the writing assignments at BPL Command Central. Clockwise from lower left: Ryan, Carol, Mike, Janet, Will, Ken, Joel, Don.
7:30 pm Saturday. Work Begins at BPL Command Central
Almost 12 hours after we started the day, and we are just getting started. I'm starving. Ken and I order some pizzas. Vic shows me some great photos he took on the show floor. I haven't met Vic before this trip, but I instantly like him. He's fun. He brought a bunch of huge buttery cookies too. I realize I forgot to snap some pictures at the MontBell booth. Darn. We will have to wait another day to finish that writeup. We all split up and are madly hunched over our laptops. Ken is working on a podcast, and Ryan notes that he mispronounced someone's name. Darn again. But after a good laugh, Ken fixes it with a little digital magic. We check our notes, thumb through new product catalogs and do our best to get the facts right. We have a new system for posting our articles to the web. It goes smoothly for the most part, only the creation of new forum threads gives some of us trouble. By midnight I am done with my jobs for the evening. By 1 am the lights are out. Another day at OR is done. Only two more to go.
7:30 am Sunday
I listen to Carol's podcast interview with Wayne Edy of Inov8. She's just great at podcast interviewing. I check the forum threads and note that some readers have asked about new GoLite products that I just wrote up the night before. I make a note to swing by GoLite and get those questions answered. Where else can a reader get support like that? We're off again for another day.
Janet, Will and Mike are ready for another day.

Bitplay BANG! Lamp
The day we wake up, pick up a handgun and shoot our lamp to turn it on is the day we know we've made it. Bitplay's BANG! Lamp concept is now reality, so that day may be coming real soon. The gun-shaped remote works to toggle the light on or off, while the off position sees the lamp tilt and play dead (as pictured above).

In Beat Kings: The History of Hip Hop, Wu-Tang Clan's Mathematics has assembled a revealing documentary from the point of view of the genre's architects. The DVD is an entertaining crash course in the nitty-gritty of hip-hop's evolution beyond the platinum records and glitzy videos—from turntables to 808s to ProTools. The interview clips—concisely organized into chapters on history, equipment, influences and the biz, among other topics—are a who's who of hip-hop production legends. Wu-Tang's RZA jokes about making beats on his first drum machine, a Roland 606 stolen by Ol' Dirty Bastard. Marley Marl—perhaps the king of the beat kings—recounts how the sampling limitations of the E-Mu SP-1200 (a workhorse among the first generation of studio beatmakers such as Pete Rock) forced him to chop up beats out of necessity, forging the methodology of his trademark early production style, where discrete drum beats might be nabbed from entirely different records.
Early beat pioneers such as Prince Paul, DJ Premier and Easy MoBee recall the urge to create that drove them to use whatever tools were available: Betamax tapes, reel-to-reel decks, even cassette boomboxes, which were used to manually loop samples recorded off the radio. So it's understandable when some of these old-school sonic alchemists hate on current digital technologies such as ProTools—powerful, inexpensive PC software that changed the music industry, put some studios out of business and turned casual home recordists into overnight producers.

But in the segment titled "Hip-Hop Today: Under Construction," the titans are philosophical as well, allowing that new technologies (such as the widely available '80s gear by Japanese companies such as Roland and Akai) gave them their entry into the business. For a new generation of beat stylists, it's still about the spirit of invention, the thrill of transcending material limitations: not so much what you're working with, but what you do with it.

One reader wanted to know how he could keep using now defunct file formats on his Windows XP PC. Our Helproom Editor explained how to open and edit older documents on a modern Windows PC and on a Mac.
QUESTION I want to be able to open and edit documents in old file formats – Lotus 1-2-3, Ami Pro and so on. Until my recent retirement, I was able to use a computer at work to achieve this. I'm now dependent on newer versions of Microsoft Office and WordPerfect, which don't seem to support these file types. I'm currently using Windows XP, but would like to replace my laptop with an Apple MacBook. Dick Harris
The best solution for keeping these legacy file formats alive is to use virtualisation software. It's a similar situation to the one detailed in the story: How to run GWBasic on a 64bit Windows PC.
You can continue to run old programs on a new PC by setting up a virtual machine. This allows you to run older applications within a virtual environment. Think of it as running one of the old office PCs on your home computer in virtual form.
To make this work, however, you would need to transfer the original programs over to the virtual PC. This may be tricky if legacy media such as floppy disks are to be used, and even more difficult if you don't have access to the original software.
A better long-term solution may be to convert the files into a newer format. This may be the most time-consuming option, since you'll need to find a converter for each type of file you wish to use. Of course, once you've converted the files you won't need to repeat the task.
As time goes on, converters that are compatible with the latest versions of modern applications become more difficult to find. For example, the Ami Pro converter that Microsoft provided for use with Word 2000 is no longer available for newer versions of Word.
And whereas older versions of Microsoft Excel supported the use of Lotus 1-2-3 .WK4 files, newer versions of Office do not. You may find you have to seek out versions of software that bridge the gap between your two chosen file formats.
In the case of Lotus 1-2-3, you will need a copy of Excel between version 7.0 and Excel 2003 to convert the .WK4 files to a format that can then be loaded into a modern version of Excel.
Alternatively, look for a copy of the latest version of Lotus SmartSuite. SmartSuite and Office 2003 can still be purchased from Amazon.
According to IBM's support site, Lotus SmartSuite will run on Windows 7, even though it was designed to be compatible only with Windows versions up to XP.
If alternative versions of these programs aren't available, conversion packages such as ABC Amber Lotus Converter can convert Lotus 1-2-3 files to an Excel-friendly format without either application needing to be installed on your computer. A demo version is available, but you must pay to unlock the software's full functionality.
Graham Mayor, a member of Microsoft's Most Valuable Professional team, runs a site containing free file converters for older formats.
An Ami Pro converter for Word is listed among those found on this site, including a version for Windows 7 64bit.
The move to Mac may mean that any Windows software will need to be run under emulation utilities such as Parallels Desktop, or you'll need to dual-boot Windows using Boot Camp. In either case, you'll need to buy a Windows licence. However, the number of conversion options available to you may actually increase, since you'll also be able to run Mac software that's incompatible with Windows operating systems.
Unfortunately, whichever method you choose, such file conversions are often rather irksome. Although you may get lucky in finding free converters for many file types, you may also find that certain features of the original format aren't supported. You will need to check that any documents you convert continue to function correctly. Finding a copy of the original software is the best way to ensure this.

Watch Principal Kevin Lowery Sneak References to God Into Public High School Graduation (VIDEO)
As principal at Lebanon High School in Lebanon, Mo., Kevin Lowery wanted to thank God in his remarks during last month's graduation. He was well aware of the ban on religious references in public meetings, so he found a way to get around it.
He snuck in references to God into his introduction without outright leading a prayer or directly thanking the Lord. At one point, he reminded students that "In God We Trust" is found on U.S. currency. Also, he shares that during a moment of silence, he "gave thanks to God for these great students, their parents, their teachers and for this community."
While the audience at large applauded Lowery's back-door praises, atheist groups have criticized his remarks. Atheist blogger Hemant Mehta called them "completely inappropriate," while Jerry Coyne, an evolutionary biologist the University of Chicago, pronounced them "a violation of the First Amendment."
What do you think about Kevin Lowery sneaking references to God at this public high school graduation?

'Hypocrite' Arthur Scargill buys flat on Thatcher's Right To Buy plan
FORMER miners' leader Arthur Scargill tried to buy his council flat using Margaret Thatcher's Right To Buy law, it was claimed yesterday.
The one-time NUM president, now 74, was accused of hypocrisy after trying to use rules introduced by his greatest foe to buy the £1.5million apartment at the Barbican in London in 1993.
A BBC investigation claims his attempt was foiled last year after the NUM – which had paid for him to live there since 1982 – took legal action to end the arrangement.
Legal documents obtained by the BBC's Inside Out programme uncovered the attempt.
Scargill famously led the 1984 miners' strike against Mrs Thatcher's policy of pit closures.
Former miner Jimmy Kelly said: "It's so hypocritical it's unreal."

Don't Try to Cook the Way They Cook on TV and in BBQ Competitions!
"Barbecue is a journey, one meal at a time." Sterling Ball, pitmaster of the BigPoppaSmokers.com team
Those of us who worship barbecue are thrilled that the food we love is getting so much air time, especially on the popular BBQ Pitmasters series on the cable station, Destination America. But if you are a backyard cook and just beginning to build your repertoire and skill set, you have probably watched barbecue competitions on TV or in real life. You have probably been thinking about emulating these techniques.
But you should not, absolutely not, try to cook for your friends and family the way they do on TV. If you want superb food, follow my recipes precisely the first time. Then, once you have the techniques mastered, if you want to try to add something you saw on TV, try one trick at a time, but I'm here to tell you, cooking for competition usually produces poor quality dining, and starting with my recipe and modifying it with something you saw on TV will probably leave you disappointed.
Here's why: Competition cooks have really good equipment, huge expensive high tech machines like the wood burner shown here, a $15,000 trailer mounted Jambo J-5 used by Scottie Johnson of CancerSucksChicago.com. Behind him is a $4,000 Cookshack Fast Eddy FEC100 pellet cooker (disclaimer, AmazingRibs.com is one of his sponsors). Chances are that not all the techniques he uses will not work on your backyard smoker.
Competition cooks also know that their entries will be one of several samples served to the judges, usually six samples at a time, and in order to win, theirs must really stand out. They must be flashy, different, loud, and boisterous. Delicacy, simplicity, subtlety, and complexity, all characteristics of great food, get you eliminated in a competition. So competition pitmasters go for big bold sweet flavors knowing that most of the time, the judge will take only one bite of their sample.
This is especially important in non-TV events when the judges aren't as experienced and skilled as Tuffy Stone, Myron Mixon, or Melissa Cookston, shown above. Alas, at most of the more than 500 events around the nation, many of the judges are newbies or have judged only a few events. They are easily seduced by the shiny, big, bold, and sweet.
To get there, the cooks employ every trick in the book. For example, they inject everything with moisturizers, tenderizers, and flavor enhancers. Butcher BBQ's popular pork injection is made with hydrolyzed vegetable protein (hydrolyzed soy and corn protein and salt, with partially hydrogenated vegetable oil [cottonseed, soybean] added), monosodium glutamate, sodium phosphate, pork flavor (yeast extract, natural flavors maltodextrin) and xanthan gum. Not something you can get at the local grocery store.
Then they use a mustard slather to hold down their rub, they wrap their ribs, pork butt, and brisket in foil partially through the cook, they lather on liquid margarine and agave, and sprinkle a different rub on the bottom of their ribs than on top so the tongue and roof of the mouth get different flavors.
In competition, most pitmasters cook only thighs for the chicken category. A typical prep involves removing the bone, peeling the skin back, scraping the subcutaneous fat off, trimming each thigh until it is identical in shape, coating it with a sweet dry rub, injecting with liquid margarine, folding it so you see only skin, and placing it on top of butter or margarine in cupcake tins, and painting it with shiny sweet red barbecue sauce! Click here to read more about how competition chicken is prepared for an example of how far off the barbecue path they have gone.
The food is so bizarre that eating more than one or two bites becomes a chore. They are just toooo over the top. I have heard more than one pitmaster confide that he would never cook like this for friends and family. Competition food is designed for one bite, not a meal.
Another factor to remember when watching "reality" TV is that directors are focused on telling a story, creating drama, developing heroes and villains, winners and losers. They don't have time or the inclination to teach technique and show recipes. You just get only a quick glimpse of what is really going on. A lot is left out.
For example, competition cooks rely heavily on thermometers. They know that meat temperature and pit temperature are crucial. But you rarely see them poking their meat with a Thermapen, which they all own. It's just not good TV. The directors would rather you live under the illusion that these are artisans who work by touch and smell.
If you have a chance to visit a barbecue competition, by all means, go. You may be lucky enough to find a pitmaster who is (a) a good cook, (b) willing to talk to you, (c) willing to tell you what he really does. But most of the time the gal in charge doesn't have time to talk, the guy you are talking to is a flunky, and the head cook isn't going to tell you her tricks. But even if she does, you shouldn't try them until you are experienced. You wouldn't go into the kitchen of a French restaurant and go home and try to replicate the meal would you? You need a written recipe, proper equipment, and years of experience. You need to understand the concepts.
John Dawson runs the excellent BBQ blog PatioDaddioBBQ.com and cooks in competitions. Here's what he told me "The bottom line is that the majority (and I would argue the vast majority) of 'professional' competitive barbecue cooks do not cook and serve competition-style barbecue at home. In fact, not only do they not serve it to friends and family, many don't enjoy eating their competition products, and I'd be one. Further, many rarely even taste the meat that they turn in. I usually take one bite of each meat category after it's turned in.
"Cooking competition barbecue at home is akin to an Iron Chef cooking what they turn in at home. It's overly-complicated, overly-seasoned, overly-sweet, and crazy techniques are used to a point where one could argue that it's not even 'real' barbecue. We're cooking to hit every part of the barbecue taste palette (smoke, spice, savory, and sweet) like a two-by-four to the senses, all in one bite.
"Another complaint that I have with competition barbecue is that the techniques and flavor profiles have become so homogenized that creativity is punished, rather than encouraged. Judges have become 'trained' to expect certain meats to look and taste a certain way. As a cook I want to show my creativity, but coloring outside the lines in competitive barbecue will get you sent home licking your creative wounds."
I could not agree more, especially the comments on creativity. What if a cook turned in killer Asian style ribs? Or with a chocolate chile sauce? Or even a South Carolina mustard sauce? She'd get zeros.
Harry Soo of SlapYoDaddyBBQ.com is one of the winningest cooks on the circuit, a winning contestant on the first BBQ Pitmasters, and a cooking instructor. He says "Comp recipes are great but they are lot of work. Whenever I cook ribs for myself, I like them simple with a nice Tex-Mex influenced garlicky rub and with some spicy Pico De Gallo. No, I've never turned in this recipe for a contest and don't think it would do well, but that's how I like my ribs when I make them for myself."
Mike Wozniak is the pitmaster of Quau, 2010 Kansas City Barbeque Society Team of the Year. He says "The biggest diff between comp meats and backyard is in the amount of prep time. It is impractical to spend that kind of time on backyard meats. At home, I put them in the Ole Hickory and turn the gas on!"
Sterling Ball, pitmaster of the BigPoppaSmokers.com team, was on one of the BBQ Pitmasters competitions and he has won the prestigious American Royal in Kansas City. "We spent nine hours taping for a one hour show. Subtract about 15 minutes of commercials, yet there was only about three minutes of actual cooking shown. There's not much useful info there. If you're going to barbecue, get a good recipe and follow it. Master the skills. Then if you see something on TV that sparks your interest, try it only after you have the basics down. You need to learn the rules before you can break them. Barbecue is a journey, one meal at a time."
Start with my recipes. They are proven. The only ones who complain are the ones who veered from them: "I saw Myron Mixon cook brisket on TV and he said 350°F is the ideal temperature. So I tried it on your recipe, but the meat was too tough." Well, you didn't cook my recipe. Maybe on his custom made water smoker with Wagyu beef 350°F is ideal, but chances are, on your cooker with the slab of meat you got at Costco, that is much too hot.
You will notice that my recipe for ribs doesn't call for wrapping them in foil for part of the cook, a common practice known as the Texas Crutch. It's a good technique, but it is not necessary, and it is a step that can create an opportunity for failure. I have left it out to keep you on the path to success. Follow the recipe as written the first time. Then, once you have it down pat, try adding the Crutch.
Remember, KISS, Keep It Simple, Students.

Quote from EarlZ088
I am not picking any sides, just stating my experience.. Based on extended testing I still feel more comfortable with LoH in elite battles that I cannot melt down with in 6 seconds. The 600 life drained every 100k damage (for 3%LS only) is not best suited for my play style as compared to draining more than 1,500 per hit.. Maybe when I have a budget for like 150M per 3% weapon with 40-50% crit and an open socket, LS will be superior for my build.
Im actually having a hard time upgrading my weapons now due to the insane prices!
Well to me it sounds like you are using a 1 hander with low overall damage. So maybe it is better for you to have LOH on that slot.
I realize I'm nitpicking but since you're comparing 3% lifesteal to your loh. You should realize you can at max get 3597 HPS averaged loh at 2 aps including FoTs hidden IAS, which makes it 3aps. Which an averaged LOH of 1198 per hit, of course this is assuming you have 2aps and you have a perfect 959 loh weapon. Comparing a socket or including loh from other pieces of gear is not a fair comparison as you shouldn't choose between stacking loh vs stacking life steal. You should use whichever property is better in the game for that specific slot for your current setup.
I agree life steal needs a lot of damage to compete with high end LOH but you should realize that the less base loh a weapon has the less damage is needed to compete. Some examples *based on my previous conditions*
28k dmg, 3% LS > 320 loh
35k dmg, 3% LS > 400 loh
42k dmg, 3% LS > 480 loh
56k dmg, 3% LS > 640 loh
70k dmg, 3% LS > 800 loh
And it would be more important what your other gear is. 150m in gear > 150m on a weapon.

MARTIN O'NEILL suffered a double blow on the eve of his first anniversary as Sunderland boss after watching leading scorer Steven Fletcher go off injured during yesterday's defeat at Norwich City.
The striker was withdrawn at half-time after struggling with an ankle injury during the first half at Carrow Road and O'Neill now faces an anxious wait to discover the extent of his injury.
Losing Fletcher for any period of time will be a huge blow for the Black Cats, who have largely relied on their £12m man for goals.
Loading article content
The Scotland international has scored almost half of Sunderland's goals this season, and although he was largely anonymous in the first half at Carrow Road, his presence in the side would be missed.
Fletcher's injury will be assessed by the club's medical staff today, but O'Neill admitted he could have done with the striker as his side pushed for an equaliser yesterday.
"He was struggling in the last ten minutes of the first half. I thought there was no point going on with it,"
O'Neill said after the 2-1 defeat.
"I'm not sure of the extent of the damage but we might have a better idea today.
"It would have been nice to have had him on the field in the second half. He might have been able to finish one of them off but it wasn't to be.
"Having said that, I thought young Connor Wickham applied himself very well and became a bit of a handful for Norwich. That's encouraging for him."
Despite only having a single appearance to his name this season, Wickham came on ahead of Fraizer Campbell and James McFadden and was named on the bench at the expense of Louis Saha.
The teenage striker did produce a lively display, but despite creating several chances in the second half, Sunderland couldn't find a leveller.
Their second half display was much-improved from the opening 45 minutes, which was arguably the Black Cats' worst display of a disappointing season so far, and O'Neill admitted that was their downfall at the end.
He said: "I felt we contributed to our own failings, particularly in the first half, but to dominate the way we did in the second half was encouraging.
"I said to the players if we perform in the second half, we will be fine but we've got to keep at it. We're certainly not good enough to gift goals to teams and be able to turn that round. The top sides are able to do that but we're certainly not a top side.
"We were very, very tentative in the first half, more than tentative we were very poor. We were second to the ball for most of the half and when we had it we gave it away too easily. We had to wait until we were 2-0 down before we got going.
"In the second half I thought we were terrific. We created some great chances."
Craig Gardner and Stephane Sessegnon looked most likely to grab an equaliser with the Black Cats dominating in the second period.
The all-important second goal didn't come, though, but O'Neill insisted there were positives to take from the game.
"I think on the second half performance we should have got something out of the game. We were as good second half as we were very poor in the first.
"I think Norwich defensively were hanging on but they had the two-goal cushion and that eventually proved enough.
"We had to really get to grips with the game which we hadn't done at all. We hadn't closed players down when we didn't have possession of the ball.
"It was really poor from our point of view and it is an uphill struggle in the Premier League when you give one goal away, never mind two.
"But we really applied ourselves in the second half. We played some really nice football but more importantly we played with a better tempo and started to create things in and around the penalty area.
"We missed some real glorious chances that at any other time would have found the net."
Sunderland now sit one point and one place above the relegation places, but O'Neill refused to admit his side were involved in a relegation fight.
He said: "It's a battle for us and we have to pull through, it's as simple as that.
"It was a battle last year so hopefully the experiences we got from last year will stand us in good stead.
"The confidence in the side was restored in the second half performance. But eventually in a couple of weeks' time it will all be forgotten.
We need to win a football match, get ourselves in front and stay there.
"I was nearly going to say we were unlucky, but you have to make your own luck in this world. There's a long way to go.
"A couple of sides down beside us just recently have had good runs.
"Stoke City have taken 12 or 13 points in recent games.
We've got to win a couple of matches in relatively quick succession."

Hull City are reported to be lining up a £9million bid for Lorient striker Benjamin Moukandjo before the transfer deadline passes.
The Tigers are being linked with a whole host of strikers as they look to add more goals to their ranks for this season's Premier League campaign, and Moukandjo has emerged as a target.
Hull scouts have been checking out the 27-year-old and will have been impressed by what they saw as he grabbed a brace in Lorient's opening day 3-2 defeat at Caen.
The Cameroon international has vast experience after picking up 32 caps for his country and there is no shortage of interest in him with West Brom, Sunderland and Swansea also said to be keen.
Moukandjo grabbed 13 goals for Lorient last season and there is a good chance he could be heading to the Premier League before the window closes.

Ricky Williams has bigger goals than just returning to the Argonauts lineup for his team's next game.
The injured running back wants to lead the Boatmen to the Grey Cup and says he'll take it personally if it doesn't happen.
At Woodbine Racetrack yesterday where he was the guest drawmaster for Sunday's Woodbine Mile, Williams said he expects to return to practice this Sunday when the team re-convenes after its bye week.
After that, he fully intends to be in the lineup for the Sept. 23 date in Calgary against the Stampeders.
"It's about time for me to show my influence," Williams said of his anticipated role with the Argos as they make a push for first place in the Canadian Football League's Eastern Division and beyond.
"If we don't go to the Grey Cup, I will take it as my fault."
Williams has been out of the lineup since breaking his left arm in a game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on July 23.
He says his arm is recovered enough to play but a gash suffered to his heel when it was struck by a metal door at the team's practice facility has been slower to repair.
Coach Pinball Clemons said recently that Williams may have a better chance to return to action sooner than the team's other injured running back, John Avery.
It is clear the team's offence could use a boost after its tedious, touchdown free 11-9 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats this past weekend.
As for his time off, it doesn't sound as though Williams is missing the NFL much. The former Heisman Trophy winner said he watched the Miami Dolphins with indifference as they lost their season opener to the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, 28-17.
"It wasn't difficult at all, I live in the moment," Williams said. "I'm sad that they lost, I have a lot of friends on that team, but it wasn't difficult for me."
As for his extended injury timeout, Williams said he has been able to appreciate some benefits to the CFL.
"If you want to live and be happy and be around good people, play in the CFL," said Williams, who has rushed for 231 yards on 57 carries in his brief career in three-down football. "If you want to make money, be in the NFL."

A 41-year old man was airlifted to hospital after falling three metres from a ladder onto a concrete floor in Lubenham.
The Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance was called out to the incident on Friday afternoon and landed at the scene at approximately 3.20pm.
The man suffered injuries to his pelvis, so the crew applied a pelvic splint and provided medication to help with blood clotting.
He was then immobilised before being airlifted to University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire for further treatment.
The crew arrived at the hospital at approximately 3.56pm.

Former Communist Party star Bo Xilai has been expelled from the party and will face multiple criminal charges, the official Xinhua newswire says.
The announcement comes just weeks before a key meeting that will see a new generation of Chinese leaders, headed by Vice-President Xi Jinping, take power from President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao. The 10-day National Congress of the Communist Party will begin Nov. 8, Xinhua also reported Friday.
The fact the two announcements came together likely means broad agreement has been reached between quarreling factions over how the Communist Party should proceed through the sensitive transition period. The fate of Mr. Bo was seen as intertwined with arguments over who should be named to the incoming Standing Committee of the Politburo, the nine-member grouping that is the apex of power in the country.
Until his detention in March, Mr. Bo – a party "princeling" whose father was a famous revolutionary – was Communist Party boss of the southwestern city of Chongqing, and seen as a favourite for promotion to the next Standing Committee.
His downfall began when his longtime police chief, Wang Lijun entered a U.S. consulate in February and tried to defect, telling tales of murder and corruption under Mr. Bo's rule in Chongqing.
Mr. Wang was sentenced on Monday to 15 years in prison for bribe-taking, abuse of power and attempting to defect. In August, Mr. Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, plead guilty to murdering a British businessman, and received a suspended death sentence.
Now, it's Mr. Bo's turn. Xinhua said he will face charges for abuse of power, bribe-taking and "illicit relationships with numerous females."
The charges were portrayed as part of an effort to crack down on corruption inside the Communist Party, which has become a lightning rod for public discontent. "No corrupt elements will escape discipline from the party and state legal system," Xinhua said. Mr. Bo was accused of actions that "severely damaged the reputation of the party and the country and had an extremely negative influence domestically and abroad."
The charges, were announced at the end of a Politburo meeting chaired by Mr. Hu. Mr. Bo was a member of the 25-person Politburo until his membership was suspended in the spring.
"Investigations show that Mr. Bo had seriously violated party discipline ... abused his power, committed grave mistakes and should be held responsible for the Wang Lijun case as well as Ms. Gu's murder case," Xinhua said.
It was the first direct mention of Mr. Bo's name in state media in several months. His name was not directly mentioned in either Mr. Wang's trial, or that of his wife.

Independence Day
One of my favorite Independence Day memories was being stationed at MCAS El Toro back in the 90's and being at the local movie theater which was half filled with Marines watching Independence Day on opening night when the General tell's Wil Smith, "El Toro has been completely destroyed." and the entire theater breaks out in cheers. He flew with VMFA-314.

Timezones away on the same day (1996) CAA watched Independence Day at the post theater in Mannheim, Germany.
When the aliens destroyed the White House, everyone cheered.
IIRC, Bill Clinton was president then.

Scrum-half Davies rejoins Scarlets
ESPNscrum Staff
January 8, 2012
Liam Davies back in his Scarlets days © Getty Images
Former Scarlets scrum-half Liam Davies has journeyed back to the Parc Y Scarlets to provide cover in the half-back position in the wake of Tavis Knoyle's injury.
Knoyle is to undergo surgery on a shoulder injury and Davies has secured an early release from his contract with French side Dax to help out Nigel Davies' side. The 25-year-old left the Scarlets to join Brive back in June 2008 and following a brief spell with the Ospreys, he then opted to join Dax.
"It's great to have this opportunity to come back home," said Davies. "I've learnt a lot from being involved in rugby in France and it's been a different type of experience and I just jumped at the chance to be back in a Scarlets shirt and playing my rugby at home in Wales."
"There are some really promising young players coming through the Scarlets now and it's good to be back with the boys from our region that I knew when I first started out like Rhys Priestland, Josh Turnbull, Jon Davies, Scott Williams, Ken Owens and others and seeing them progress so quickly and get international honours.
"I'll give my all to this opportunity and hopefully pass on some of my wider experience to a group of talented scrum halves already at the Scarlets - Gareth Davies, Rhodri Williams and Aled Davies when he comes back from injury - without doubt all of them have promising futures ahead of them."
Scarlets boss Davies has confirmed that the scrum-half is on a development contract but will provide valuable experience during the 2012 Six Nations. "The timing has worked really well for us as Liam's made himself available after the French club he was with had to release a number of players," Dragons boss Davies said. "To have the opportunity to bring someone of Liam's quality, background and experience of the big matches into our squad at this crucial time in our season is very positive."

I was introduced to FINDINGbalance in 2011 when I agreed to accompany my wife to the organization's annual conference in Colorado Springs Colorado. While I initially saw this as an opportunity to sample the states blue ribbon trout streams, what I found was something much more amazing. If you are struggling with an eating disorder or body image issues, this is your community. If you are looking to invest in a non-profit, one that is truly changing lives, this is it as well.
I've been involved with FINDINGbalance since it's inception. Not only am I a huge fan of the founder, Constance Rhodes, but the work that she's doing through her organization to impact lives is tremendous. She's endeavoring to provider leadership and answers for issues that are difficult to address, at best. FINDINGbalance has a reputation of being a high caliber organization and I couldn't agree with it more. You'll be hard pressed to find better content anywhere else.

Fb is incredible - especially Constance's commitment to excellence in every area of the organization. I know first hand how committed she is to using funds in the most efficient manner possible. She does not waste a dime and always puts others before herself. She has the highest integrity in all that she does and is fully committed to her faith in being the basis of all she produces through FINDINGbalance. Her website has so much depth - unlike any other I have seen. She has more than 600 free video clips, numerous articles, book reviews, everything you can think of. She is an excellent speaker, who is authentic, funny and a joy to listen to. I will continue giving to Fb, knowing that every penny is being put to good use.

I attended Hungry for Hope last June and have benefited from it tremendously. As an Eating Disorder victim, it was great to share experience with others and meet people who have fully recovered from this disease. More importantly, I was able to hear how God has helped them to fight this battle.

I first heard about Finding Balance approximately seven years ago. My coworker picked up *Life Inside the "Thin" Cage* for me at a conference, but I didn't think it applied to me since I'd struggled with a clinical eating disorder and thought I had left that behind me. However, as the years went by, I got older and started gaining weight, and I realized that the negative tapes from the eating disorder were still playing in the background. I mostly attributed this to a distorted body image, but as I've been leading a Finding Balance with Food study, I've realized that the negative tapes come from a variety of sources--including culture and other women. What's so revolutionary about Finding Balance is that it's about building balanced, healthy relationships--with food AND with other people. It's about surrounding yourself with fellow travelers who are real and honest and trying to live into the truth about who they are as whole people (not just bodies on parade). And, then, the other super important part that Finding Balance has been involved with is the True Campaign, and their line about the True-Shift is so crucial: to take the time we spend obsessing about our bodies and how we look, and to instead pour that energy and effort into empowering ourselves to accomplish our dreams and to help other people.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the curriculum Finding Balance with Food, the on-demand videos on a range of topics on the FB site (including about cutting) and the podcasts as part of the True Campaign.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
focus on empowering women, NOT ONLY to live free of body obsessions in order to have happy, healthy lives, but also to heal emotionally in ALL our areas of woundedness so that we can go on to make a difference in the lives of other women in pain.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
meeting the founder and catching her vision to help free women from body obsessions and then to make a shift to empower others.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
passionate and professional.
Ways to make it better...
I had better insight that this group is not just about subclinical eating disorders or life trapped with being too thin, but it's also about full-blown eating disorders, including emotional eating and binge eating and obesity-related issues.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
funding. If they had more funding they could gain more visibility and traffic to their website, helping hook people on the truth of where healing begins--and the purpose of healing (to empower ourselves and others).
One thing I'd also say is that...
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every month

In my opinion, this nonprofit stands out because it deals with personal issues related to image, consumption, and life habits. Because its approach focuses more on the causes than the effects of negative thought patterns, it provides deep answers to serious questions. Not only have I benefited from their free online service, but also get to tap into a real community that is exceptionally honest. While some nonprofits see valid problems in others or institutions, this one doesn't point fingers. That in itself breeds humility and true care, something our society really needs.

Met the Director, Constance Rhodes, through my daughter who has had emotional issues surrounding eating for many years. She is incredibly gifted at creating mutually supportive group activities and reaching out to those in need with a variety of excellent communication materials and activities. I would not hesitate to recommend her or FindingBalance to a family member or friend.

By Mark Victory
LONDON (ICIS)--The majority of the European polyamide chain is forecasting demand growth in 2014 of up to 5% year on year because of macroeconomic recovery.
"I would rather say there's some growth involved - not two-digit, but 3-5% surely - driven by macroeconomic recovery. Things [are] looking better and better, the economy looks quite robust, don't see any reasons we should see any problems on the demand side," an integrated nylon chain producer said.
Nylon year-on-year consumption growth is expected at 3-5% in 2014, according to market estimates.
Several European engineering plastics producers expect demand from the sector to grow in 2014, as they have had increased enquiries for new applications.
Engineering plastics are a key end-use market for nylon 6 and 6,6. Engineering plastics are predominantly used in automotive manufacture, but can also be used for other downstream applications such as electronics.
The expectation of strong demand in Q1 2014 derived from approaches from new customers at the K2013 plastics fair in Dusseldorf, Germany, for new applications.
The majority of adipic acid (ADA) players also expect demand growth of 3-5% in 2014.
ADA demand growth will be primarily driven by macroeconomic recovery in the shoe sole and engineering plastics sectors. Adipate plasticizers consumption is also expected to grow, as they continue to replace phthalate plasticizers
"I see [a] 3-4% increase in demand due to [the] improving economy...automotive and polyurethanes, and construction demand are getting better," an ADA producer said.
Cyclohexane (CX) consumption growth has been forecast by the market at around 2% year-on-year.
Nevertheless, any growth will depend on GDP figures in 2013, and in the CX and capro markets there remain some significant concerns over demand growth and production capacity.
"Hopefully it's going to be better than 2013, but if you see what's happening in China [and the] impact it will have on polymer, I don't see GDP growth of 5%, think growth will be in line with GDP," a capro buyer said.
European capro players remain concerned that an additional 500,000 tonnes of capacity due to come online in China in 2014 will place additional downward pressure on European prices.
Asia, in particular China, has traditionally been a major export market for European capro. Although additional capacity in China has come on stream in 2013, technical problems at new plants and delays to plants reaching high-grade material production have shielded Europe from the impact on export demand.
Export demand had been expected to dramatically reduce in 2013 because of the new capacity.
Exports have remained firm throughout 2013, which several sources have attributed to problems starting up production at the new Asian plants. Offtake from Asia has also been increasing during December in anticipation of feedstock cost hikes in the New Year.
"I think we are planning slightly better demand in 2014 - this is due to the fact that we see a little bit less import material coming. Demand overall will grow a little but there's strong demand in [the] Far East so less will come in - [it] will be single digit – 3-4%," a downstream nylon 6 buyer said.
Nevertheless, at least two plants in China are now producing material which is indistinguishable from high-grade European material, sources said.
There are concerns that the additional competition from the new capacity in 2014 will result in lower prices in the region, closing off arbitrage opportunities.
The knock-on effect will be that material previously earmarked for export to Asia will remain in Europe. Because Europe is structurally oversupplied, this will create a perpetually long market, creating downward price pressure, some sources fear.
"Just looking at 2014 I'm afraid it will be more demanding, definitely it will be a copy of the scenario from 2013 and announced plants will come on stream so it will be a difficult time, not only for capro but polymer as well, as just after increasing capro capacity, polymer capacity is increasing [too] - month-to-month it's increasing," a capro producer said.
"I don't think the full import volume will be substituted by local production, definitely no... [how much import volume will be substituted] depends on the quality from the new plants... I can't give now a definitive number, but it's really very difficult".
China is expected to become self-sufficient on capro by 2015.
Capro demand will depend on the size of the additional capacity that comes on stream in 2014 and how quickly the new plants will be able to produce material on high spinning lines. Some sources do not expect Asian demand from Europe to significantly change until 2016.
"Export to Asia will be similar to exports in 2013 because quality-wise there's still a gap with Europe, but the question mark is 2016 - Asia is still a long-term threat," a capro producer said.
At the other end of the chain, European CX consolidation has led to fears of squeezed downstream margins.
CX sources said that fewer producers of CX in Europe could lead to higher prices due to increased premiums to ensure supply.
This is because supply disruptions at a single supplier will have a larger impact on the wider market, and will mean that producers may be able to charge a premium for buyers to secure material.
The concerns emerged following BP's announcement in September that it will close its CX plant in Lingen, Germany, at the end of 2013 because of poor profitability.
The plant has a nameplate capacity of 260,000 tonnes/year and is the fourth largest CX plant in Europe, according to the ICIS plants and projects database.
The closure of the Lingen plant follows Total's exit from European CX production in 2012.

A person who loves Harry Potter.
What happens? It's such a cliff-hanger! Update soon...please!
It occured to me that I have not reviewed in a while so I thought I'd tell you miy thoughts. Awesome! I love how the story has progressed. It flows so effortlessly. I can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much, my friend! I\'ve got a lot to change since I read Book 7, but I\'m trying to get the next chapter turned out. I know what I want to do with it, but classes and out of class torment (i.e. paper-writing and projects and various other methods of professorial torture) are thoroughly in the way... I promise I\'ll crank on weekends late at night in my few off hours. :) The Hubby says to tell you hello (and even though it\'s in utero, the baby does too!) and I shall see you hopefully soon, when I promise I will tell you in greater detail about my ideas. :)
Love it!!!! I think he deserved it whether she saw him or not. I can't wait until the next chapter is up!
Author's Response: Ha ha, he sure did. :D I\'m elated to hear that you like it, buddy. :) I\'m working on the next chapter as we speak. It\'s my goal to have the next two done before break\'s over... because I sure won\'t be able to get two done in three weeks with class/swimming breathing down my neck! Hope the holidays are going well for you, God bless and take care of yourself love. :)
Awww! I love it!! I hope they validate the next chapter soon!
Author's Response: Thanks buddy! *hugs* I hope that you have a great break! (I\'m assuming this is my buddy.) ^_^ Take care love.

WASHINGTON - Whatever Roger Clemens and his accuser have to say for themselves before Congress on Wednesday, one thing seems certain: Clemens will be no Mark McGwire.
"He is here to talk about the past," Clemens' lead lawyer, Rusty Hardin, said Tuesday as he accompanied the seven-time Cy Young Award winner through the hallways of Capitol Hill office buildings.
Clemens was making the rounds one last time, wearing a gray pinstriped suit and squeezing face-to-face meetings into the busy schedules of the members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He met with five congressmen over a four-hour span Tuesday, on top of the 19 he saw on Thursday and Friday.
"I enjoyed talking with him," said Rep. Diane Watson, D-Calif., who said the discussion included baseball stories and personal accounts about the Sept. 11 attacks. "It's always good to meet the person who is in the spotlight. ... I told him, This is not a trial.'"
But it might very well feel like one when Clemens and his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, sit at the witness table, and - under oath - offer what will surely be contradictory versions as to whether Clemens has used steroids and human growth hormone during his storied career.
"I couldn't tell you who's telling the truth," Watson said.
Clemens got some help in his public relations push from an old teammate Tuesday, when The Associated Press obtained a sworn affidavit in which Jose Canseco said he has never seen Clemens "use, possess or ask for steroids or human growth hormone."
The affidavit, dated Jan. 22, is part of the evidence gathered by the committee holding Wednesday's hearing.
"I have never had a conversation with Clemens in which he expressed any interest in using steroids or human growth hormone," Canseco said in the affidavit. "Clemens has never asked me to give him steroids or human growth hormone, and I have never seen Clemens use, possess or ask for steroids or human growth hormone."
The anticipation of the hearing rivals - if not surpasses - that of the hubbub before March 17, 2005, when McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro testified before the same committee in the same wood-paneled House hearing room. McGwire avoided answering questions about steroid use that day by repeatedly saying "I'm not here to talk about the past" - and his reputation has shown no signs of recovery.
"I think Roger's fully prepared to testify fully and truthfully," Hardin said. "And one thing we were trying to make clear in all these meetings was that it wasn't going to be a repeat of 2005. He wasn't going to sort of parse his words and be careful about what he said. He'd answer any question they had."
In comparison to Clemens' personal meetings with lawmakers, McNamee has kept a low profile in the buildup to the hearing. He gave a closed-door deposition under oath last week, two days after Clemens did, and has been waiting until the hearing itself to retell his story.

Reading the post of ladies saying the cant remember the name of fabric, my question is where do you find the name of fabric, is it written on the selvage?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Reading the post of ladies saying the cant remember the name of fabric, my question is where do you find the name of fabric, is it written on the selvage?
Yes usually it is but not always!!!! If the fabric has already been cut you might not have it anymore. So somtimes we have to see if maybe someone will know. Hope this sort of helps.
Thanks now I will be more observant when I buy!
If you purchase fabric at JoAnn's, save the receipt. It will have the stock number so you can get more (if you haven't waited too long )
"I do not understand how anyone can live without one small place of enchantment to turn to."
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
This may sound overly organized but here is what I do when I buy fabric.
I have a loose leaf binder filled with lined paper.
Every time I buy fabric I cut swatches about 2" sq and place them in a column down the edge of the paper and sew them to the paper and write any info from the selvage, where I bought and the price/ yardage right next to each sample.
I love to refer back to these pages and enjoy looking at all the swatches. It also gives me the info I need to track down more fabric if I need to.
I also use the 'sew fabric to paper' method when shopping for coordinating fabric to complete a project. I make a copy of the pattern & cutting list and attach it to the fabric swatch sheet of those I have put together for a project, so it is all together when I shop.
This will then go into my quilt history book with a pic of completed quilt with all the info I add like start and finish dates and who recieved the quilt.
Hope this helps you with future projects. This method only takes a few minutes and keeps me organized and prepared.
