Happy New Year!
We chose not to go out for New Year's Eve, staying home with the kids and babysitting the adorable Aidan so that his parents can have a night on the town. We have some yummy food, the Wii that the kids got for Christmas, and other things to keep us entertained. Speaking of the Wii, I've had quite the fun playing some of the games, especially "Aerosmith Guitar Hero". Frustrated rock star and all that you know! I probably don't want to know how many times I've played "Dream On", trying to get it just right.
I was thinking about the many things I've done on previous New Year's Eves. For some reason my mind drifts back to a party my parents held on this date when I was probably around eleven years old. They had a houseful of friends, most of them from church, and had a sumptuous buffet going. The kids were relegated to being upstairs, although we occasionally darted down the stairs just to see what was going on.
My dad tried to make sure we didn't miss out on everything. About once an hour he would come upstairs with a couple of plates full of food and fresh drinks, play with us for awhile, and then go back downstairs and rejoin the party. My younger brothers eventually conked out and my dad came up and said, "come on down for awhile. You'll want to see this!" A knock came at the front door and a disheveled man was standing there in dirty, tattered clothes, a bottle of whiskey in his hand. He stumbled into the house and with grimy hands and face began going around and greeting the rather astonished guests. I knew instantly of course that the drunken bum was none other than my grandfather. He and my parents had cooked up this little stunt as a prank on the guests. My grampy certainly did his part, relishing the role that he was playing. He was such a card, such a jokester and prankster and this was right up his alley. He walked over to a rather stunned looking woman and slurred, "can I have a bite of your food?" When she didn't reply he just grabbed a handful and stuffed it in his mouth. Eventually the gig was up, he went to the bathroom and cleaned up to come out and join the party.
Midnight struck and a small man dressed in robes and a white beard ran through the house being chased by a rather large man dressed only in a rather large diaper. Out with the old and in with the new! There wasn't any booze at this party but it certainly had some entertainment value!
I went to bed laughing.
A new year always seems to offer new possibilities and new hope. I hope everyone enjoys this evening and finds what they are looking for in 2009!
Happy New Year!

Midweek Meandering- Christmas Eve
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
Midweek Meandering
Its midweek and my car was covered with a layer of ice yesterday. Winter is here. Brrrrr!
I am late getting my Christmas shopping done this year. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do, but just haven't had the time to make it happen.
There is a fine line between getting nice gifts for your kids and being overindulgent. My kids are doing quite well, have most of the techy things today's kids crave and lack for very little. I work with kids each day who are just lucky to have a roof over their head.
It is all a matter of perspective, isn't it?
I could write about the commercialization of Christmas and it would all be true. However, I've been as guilty as anyone. It's a yearly dilemma!
This story caught my attention because it is an emerging trend in high school administration. The growth of cell phone use, digital cameras, and the internet has been a blessing in so many ways, but has unleashed a host of problems.
Many fights that happen at school come as a result of things that happen online. Someone posts a derogatory MySpace comment and boom…they are fighting each other the next day! Someone threatens someone on MySpace, uses a racial or ethnic slur, or brags about an illegal act. Someone else posts a video on YouTube of a fight or some other incident. I didn't know I'd have to be an online sleuth as part of the job!
Naked pics sent around on cell phones? Been there, dealt with that. It's a problem and becoming more of one. The law doesn't keep up with the technology and this is a perfect example of that. If a kid sends a nude picture of another kid is he/she transmitting child porn? Who should be prosecuted if anyone? What should be done?
By the time it is all sorted out there will be something else we haven't even thought of yet.
In the linked story above the girls whose pics were being sent around were punished but not the guys who were sending them. I see a problem there. The girls were wrong to take the pics and then to share them. They were also not very smart to believe those pictures wouldn't be shared with others. The guys were wrong for zipping them around school to other people's phones.
Patrick is driving me crazy wanting to take his money and do Christmas shopping. He likes being able to take money he earned and buy gifts.
He could always buy us a new couch to replace the one he has messed up by flopping on it so many times! Any titanium couches out there?
Of course, he isn't the best at keeping secrets. Two examples: "Dad, we got you a gift. I can't tell you what they are, but they are warm and fuzzy and you wear them on your feet" "Terri, I won't tell you what I got you but you have to light them and they smell really good!"
So how is YOUR week going?

by Katie Willse, Chief Program Officer, National Summer Learning Association
Across the nation, community leaders have increasingly recognized the promise of summer to accelerate student learning. But to maximize collective impact and reach the greatest numbers of youth in need, communities must coordinate efforts across sectors, track and share data about existing summer learning opportunities and strengthen partnerships.
By Erin White and Melissa Oomer
Both the consulting and the social sectors use an awful lot of jargon. We (the authors of this blog included) often assume that everyone in a room has the same interpretation of the words we use.
Scope Definition in Collective Impact
If you've heard about collective impact, there's a good chance you also know how collective impact efforts are defined by the existence of a "common agenda." For collective impact efforts to work, key stakeholders need to have a shared vision for change: including a shared understanding of the problem they are trying to tackle, and what a joint approach to addressing that problem might look like.
By Cara Priestley & Afi Tengue
Let me ask you a question – how often in your collective impact work have you met the community where it is? When was the last time you opened a steering committee meeting in prayer, or held it at the Martin Luther King Jr. Cultural Center or the library of a new urban middle school?
Forming a steering committee and creating a common agenda is hard work. I know this from personal experience of having supported multiple initiatives in their early stages. For example, in Kent County, Michigan, we worked with an emerging collective impact initiative called KConnect. Agreeing upon components of a common agenda, such as a vision statement, required steering committee members to grapple with fundamentally different ways of viewing the world (e.g., should we define our ultimate goal in terms of happiness, jobs, or graduation rates?). Yet despite these challenges, creating a common agenda can be very inspiring because everything is possible. After all, we don't yet have to think about implementation!

If you do not have the space to have your own garage sale, downtown South Bend can help.
All summer long, there will be a community-wide garage sale in the Monroe Studio parking lot at the intersection of Main and Monroe Street.
You can reserve a spot on Friday and Saturday mornings for just $10, and then sell all your items.
It is great for shoppers too, who can browse resale items from many different sellers.
This garage sale is the brainchild of two Monroe studio artists, who wanted to cash in on items they no longer need.
If you can get your things together fast enough, there is a special deal this weekend.
The sale spots are free.
The organizers also encourage musicians to come out, and entertain the garage sellers.
If you have any questions call 989-533-8495 or checkout their Facebook pager here.

I agree
that being told not to name a child a surname is ridiculous.
My personal worst though is when people say, "That is not a name. It's a word."
Like who appointed them God to discern between the two? The line is rather fluid these days, thankfully. And I'd rather be named Harvest any day over Mary.
I am also not keen on those who accept as concrete truth that a certain name is racist or sexist or cultural appropriation. It may be, it may not be, but their blanket certainty drives me ballistic.
February 28th, 2014 08:36 PM #30
I hate "That would make a great name for a dog" or anything hinting that the name proposed is acceptable for a pet but not a person. I mean, yes, it would be nice name for a dog since it's a great name for anyone. (Also, my dogs have perfect and amazing names.)
Once we're pregnant we're going to try to keep the name list to ourselves but I have a feeling keeping the short list from my mom will be nearly impossible...
February 28th, 2014 08:40 PM #32
Oh God the stripper thing, yeah.
If I choose to call my daughter Avalon Honey, 1) I am not determining her future career to exotic dancing, nor will it hold her back from becoming a lawyer and 2) even if she wanted to be a stripper, so what? Why do we look down on strippers like they're the scum of the Earth?
But my main thing is when people completely dismiss shorter forms of names like ''It's cute for when she's young but it needs something longer'' or ''Can you imagine a 30 year old Kitty?'' or insist it's better to use something you dislike and shorten it that to just use the shortened form.★ close to my heart / future darlings ★

I hate "That name just seems too trendy"
1. Names that are considered "trendy" on Nameberry are most of the time names that I've never heard on a real life kid.
2. "Trendy" names are "trendy" for a reason, don't you think? They are being used much more because there is something likeable about the name. Is it so bad that a lot of people find the name beautiful? Not necessarily. Although little Kinley may be Kinley H. in her kindergarten class, she'll never get any grief about her name, and that's a nice perk of a trendy name.18 | Name lover | No babies, just planning.

The Washington Capitals announced Sunday afternoon that forward, Keith Aucoin has been assigned to their minor league affiliate, the Hershey Bears.
Aucoin recently played his best game with the Capitals this season, netting a goal and an assist on Washington's top line along side Alexander Ovechkin against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Aucoin, 33, leads the American Hockey League in assists with 59 in only 43 games played with the Bears this season. Aucoin should be paired up with line-mate and the AHL's leading scorer, Chris Bourque.
Hershey is in desperate need of Aucoin after dropping three losses in a row, including a 4-3 home loss Saturday night against the Norfolk Admirals.
After the game Bears coach, Mark French and general manager, Doug Yingst held a closed door meeting directly following the game precluding French's gamely post game press conference.
The Bears travel for a rematch on the road against their divsional rival, Norfolk Admirals on Wednesday night. Hershey then returns to their home confines at Giant Center this weekend to face off against Charlotte and Springfield. Hershey fans will have an opportunity to see former Bears forward, Alexandre Giroux in Sunday's contest against the Springfield Falcons.

How did the Catholic Church become one of the most influential institutions in the world - a force capable of moving armies, inspiring saints, and shaping the lives of a billion members?
Explore these and other questions as you follow the development of this important institution in 36 informative, fascinating lectures. With Professor Cook by your side, you'll step into the world of the early church, witness the spread of Christendom, and learn about the origins of fundamental church institutions.
Your journey begins in the early years of the church, when Jesus's disciples developed the first communities of faith. You'll get a chance to delve into crucial ancient church documents and gain an intriguing glimpse into the lives of these early believers. From there, you'll trace the development and spread of this nascent religion throughout the world, covering crucial developments including the conversion of the Roman Empire to Catholicism, the schism between the Roman faith and the Greek Orthodox Church, and the Reformation.
As you delve into this fascinating saga, you'll quickly see that the Catholic Church actually takes many forms. You'll trace the many variations of worship and belief that evolved as Christianity spread all over the Mediterranean, and you'll witness how Catholic practice and faith have been transformed by the cultures and peoples it has touched. Professor Cook brings an unparalleled intellectual rigor to his presentation, balanced by a deep appreciation of the church's legacy and impact. Join him on this epic journey through Catholic history, and experience how this small gathering of faithful became one of the most powerful forces on the world stage - the "one holy catholic and apostolic Church."

"Thorough history presented in a compelling manner"
As a college level course, the material presented is both thorough and interesting. I am on my second listening of the course because there is just such a wealth of information provided.
I love Father Robert Barron's Catholicism series and this course was a great addition to the material Father Barron presented. Obviously this course is a history while Barron's is not intended to be. Professor Cook was able to explain a lot of the "why" behind the evolution of the church while Father Barron continually showed its beauty. For those who really want to know about the Catholic church, this is a great asset.
I have watched and listened to Professor Cook's course on The Great Cathedrals. He is a compelling and enthusiastic lecturer who presents material in a straight forward manner. I thought this course was quite good as an audiobook, while the course on cathedrals obviously needed the visual information. I plan on purchasing other courses by Dr. Cook.
One need not be Catholic to enjoy this thorough history. Professor Cook knows his material and presents it in an enthusiastic and compelling manner.
"Not up to the Great Courses Standard"
These lectures, while they seem to cover the vital issues and periods, are somewhat non-scholarly. For example, various reforms are mentioned, but what problems the reforms attempted to remedy are merely inferred. Unfortunately, these lapses are at the heart of what divides contemporary catholics, such as priestly celibacy. Secondly, the tone adopted by the lecturer seems to be more suitable for politician attempting to persuade an audience, rather than educating it. In a word, "too preachy".
Far from it--contributions by Profs Ehrman and the lectures on the ancient religions of the Stone and Bronze ages ( I have forgotten the author's name) were exciting in both content and delivery.
I may be biased by a long life as a university lecturer, but this just does not meet the typical detached and sympathetic manner expected. The tone is one in which fundamentalist preachers seek donations.
"Great listen, really loved the professor"
In the lecture category its in the top 5
This is the first theological history I've listened to, but the other great courses options are the most similar
I have not but he was really great
There were many instances that I was just really impressed or inspired.
I'm not Catholic (I'm actually a Mormon) and just wanted to learn more about the Catholic church to help me better understand European history but the lecture was very easy to follow, I don't think I ever felt lost or confused and not only do I have a clearer picture of European history, I also have a greater appreciation of the similarities between our two religions and I feel motivated to listen to lectures on other religions.
"Rambling at the sentence and structural level"
Most of my time listening to this book was not well spent, since there is a lack of overall structure to the lectures. Little stories and tidbits of information were pointed out to be important without ever being given a context as to why they were important.
For example, an entire lecture is devoted to the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church and it is continually pointed out by Professor Cook that it is very important for catholics to think of them. But only at the end a context is sketched out as to why, and yet it makes very little sense. In another of the late lectures the consequences of Vatican II are adressed, but again they are merely labeled important and the listener is left hanging.I feel that a lot of this wasted time is due to the fact that Professor Cook is clearly speaking to people like himself rather than to the average listener. That is to say, he is speaking to an American Catholic who knows quite a bit about the religious institution he belongs to and can himself provide the context. More about this below.
Thus, this lecture series seems more like a commentary on the history of the Catholic Church rather than an overview, which disappointed me quite a lot.However, there were a couple of interesting little pieces of information that sparked my curiosity and the parts of Church history that I already knew a good deal about and could provide my own context for were fairly well brushed up.
There are two parts to Professor Cook's performance that I'd like to comment on: one is his use of dynamic voice and the other is his use of perspective in language.
Professor Cook clearly attempts to provide dynamism at the sentence level of his lecturing by putting the emphasis on different words throughout the sentence, making pauses and in general avoiding the monotone droning that cliché associates with lecturing. In this he succeeds, but unfortunately he does so at the cost of understanding. It is apparently randomised which words the professor chooses to put extra emphasis on, which often confuses the meaning. One could argue that this should keep the listener on his or her toes - but then it is at best a cheap trick.
What it does produce - at least in this listener - is a weariness of the rambling nature of Professor Cook's lecturing style. Coupled with the very clear perspectivism that I mention above - that of an American Catholic with a more than average involvement in his faith - the lectures were at times so idiosyncratic that I tuned out. There is only so many times one can endure alienation by the constant use of the pronoun "we" to indicate both speaker and audience as members of the Catholic faith.
I have nothing against a clear and internal perspective in lectures about institutions - but these lectures were presented as being for the general public, and it seems that Professor Cook is not really aware of the alienation he creates with his language.
To clarify: I am not offended, but it did put me off many times during the listening.
It is also worth mntioning that Professor Cook's voice is very "wet-sounding", although I adjusted to this very quickly. I would, however, recommend that you hear a sample before buying simply to check out this aspect.
I could not see a TV series based on this. There is too little narratuve structure, since the lectures bascally just detail a series of things that happen and are underlined as important without ever giving the proper context.
I listened all the way through, which may be weird when seen in concert with my comments above. I kept hoping for a betterment when the series got to the time I knew little of in Church history (Dark Ages and post-renaissance) but alas it was not forthcoming.
As mentioned, enough little tidbits of weird information was spread throughout to keep me at it, but in the end I cannot possibly recommend this lecture series.
"Educational and interesting without being boring!"
Professor Cook's narration and presentation of the course is the best part of this experience. He takes the dry historical facts that I'd never be able to make it through in textbook or Wikipedia form and constructs a really interesting and compelling series of lectures by adding asides, reflections, and making sure to fully flesh out the context of events.
So. Much. Education. I now know so much more about Church history than I ever thought I would be able to fit in my head.
He's a fantastic lecturer. I've been to university, and I can tell you horror stories about professors who stand at the lectern and deliver aural valium, ensuring you absorb next to nothing of the content. Professor Cook's delivery is upbeat and excited, as though he's eager to share these facts and stories with us, and that really keeps you focused and learning.
Not really, since it's a series of lectures and each has a topic and logical start/stop points. It's much easier to digest this way since listening to 20+ hours straight is... impractical. ;)
Fantastic lecture series for anyone interested in the Catholic Church or even simply the history of the western world in general, since the two were so intertwined.
"A Pleasure"
Yes. I enjoy history in general and Catholic history is of great interest to me.
He is funny when appropriate and moves quickly through the subject matter. The lecture rarely gets bogged down or slow.
No, it is very long and breaks are definitely necessary.
Very worthwhile lecture.
"Great Title"
A very interesting overview of Catholic history. Less chronological than some other lecture series available. Dr. Cook instead follows movements and ideas and groups his lectures by them. So for instance lecture 27 looks at American Catholicism as a whole, but then he jumps back to the Age of Reason in lecture 28, examining overlapping time scales through different lenses. This can make it more difficult to follow for some. Still it's very informative.

Paludrine and Avloclor
Paludrine/Avloclor is a dual-action malaria protection pack with a mild dosage formula beneficial for those prone to medication sensitivity.
It prevents the malaria parasite from multiplying in the bloodstream and stops it from reaching the liver, where it can cause harm.
- Offers effective dual-action protection from malaria
- The two ingredients work together to prevent the parasite from multiplying
- Attacks the defenses of the parasite
- Beneficial for those who are particularly sensitive to certain medications
Free consultation with all orders (no prior-prescription required)
What are the benefits?
The primary benefit of Paludrine/Avloclor tablets is that they offer effective, dual-action protection against a range of malaria parasites. It is particularly recommended in areas that are considered to be of lower risk like India. Paludrine/Avloclor tablets are particularly beneficial to people who are particularly sensitive to certain medications, because their mild dosage is less likely to cause side effects than other antimalarials.
How does Paludrine/Avloclor work?
The chloroquine phosphate in the Avloclor tablets attacks the malaria parasites after they have entered the red blood cells and stops them from multiplying. It does this by stopping a chemical that is produced by the parasites to protect themselves. When this protection is gone, the parasites are vulnerable to the natural defence mechanisms of the body.
The proguanil hydrochloride in the Paludrine tablets also prevents the malaria parasites from multiplying, though in a slightly different way. It targets the enzyme responsible for the reproduction of the parasite. Without this ability, the parasite cannot spread.
Who can take Paludrine/Avloclor tablets?
Paludrine/Avloclor tablets are considered safe for most people who are over 18. However, you should make sure you note any medical conditions you have or any medications you are taking during your online consultation. The medication may not be suitable for elderly people or those suffering from psoriasis, a G6PD deficiency or liver or kidney disease. If you have a neurological, gut or blood disorder it is unlikely that you will be prescribed this medication.
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients contained in either of the medications, or have a history of epilepsy, you will not be prescribed this medication.
How to take Paludrine/Avloclor tablets
You should begin this course of treatment one week before you start travelling and continue to take the tablets until four weeks after you return. The course of treatment entails taking two Avloclor tablets per week. The Paludrine tablets should be taken twice a day, ideally after food, at the same time every day.
What are the side effects of Paludrine/Avloclor?
The likelihood is that you will not experience any side effects while you take either the Avloclor tablets or the Paludrine tablets. However, this is a small possibility of some mild effects such as headaches, stomach upsets and mouth ulcers. The risk of these effects will be reduced if you only take the tablets after food.
If you are concerned about any side effect you should contact a healthcare professional for advice. If you experience a severe reaction you should seek medical assistance immediately.
Can I buy the Paludrine/Avloclor Travel Pack online?
The Paludrine/Avloclor Travel Pack is available to order online at euroClinix. To order this treatment, all you need to do is complete a free online consultation to determine your suitability for the medication. Once the consultation has been assessed by a doctor, you will be issued a prescription for Paludrine/Avloclor, which will be dispensed from our pharmacy. With our free overnight delivery service, you can be sure that you will receive your medication quickly and securely.

Ben Arfa storm underlines Alan Pardew's text book man management
It didn't take long for it all to start kicking off in the French camp did it?
And with our very own Hatem Ben Arfa at the centre of controversy following the 2-0 loss against Sweden for Les Bleus.
Angry at being subbed during the defeat, Ben Arfa has reportedly told Laurent Blanc he is free to send him home if he so wishes - a situation many United fans wouldn't complain about if it meant he was safe from injury ahead of huge season at St James' Park.
Ben Arfa also made a phone call during the team debriefing which also angered Blanc but if anything this just goes to show what a great job Alan Pardew, John Carver and Steve Stone have done when it comes to man management with the Toon star.
Even before Ben Arfa joined the Magpies in 2010 he had the reputation as a hot head.
But, after overcoming injuries it is clear that the French star has cooled down and matured.
And Pardew and Co have helped keep a lid on his demons.
When they've needed to humour Ben Arfa, they've done that and when they've needed to tell him he's out of line they've done it in exactly the right way, in private and in a way that Bobby Robson managed to tick off players but still had them leaving his office with a smile on their face.
I suppose it is all down to whether people can crack man management or not.
Like all talismen, Ben Arfa comes across as a frustrated genius sometimes - but as Toon fans know only too well, when the player is on song he can be as good as anybody in the Premier League.
The job of Pardew and his backroom team is to get the best out of him like any player, yet the United manager was strong enough to leave Ben Arfa out of the team in the first half of the campaign last year.
That was because he knew he wasn't fit enough after coming through injury problems sustained both last season and on the pre-season tour of America.
Is Ben Arfa a high-maintenance character?
Of course.
Is he unmanageable?
Far from it.
The results are there for all to see from Pardew after his superb goals against the likes of Bolton Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers last term.
In fact it is a test for managers in at the very top to deal with the hot heads.
Alex Ferguson has done it for years at Manchester United with the likes of Eric Cantona, Roy Keane and Ronaldo.
Aime Jacquet was successful with the likes of Zinedine Zidane in the World Cup of 1998 which culminated with Zizou scoring twice against Brazil in the final.
And Bobby Robson managed to keep stars like Gazza under control at Italia 90, before later bringing out the best in Kieron Dyer, Jermaine Jenas and Craig Bellamy getting to the Champions League in 2002 - before of course they began believing their own hype and imploded.
But looking after Ben Arfa has so far been a major success for Pardew and certainly a contributing factor to him winning two manager of the year awards.
Perhaps, Blanc could give Pardew a quick ring to help smooth over his problems at Euro 2012.

Dear EarthTalk: I heard of an effort to save what are being called "BioGems." What are BioGems and what is being done about them? -- LARRY DIBNER, TALLAHASSEE, FLA
A: "BioGems," a term created by the Natural Resources Defense Council, describe the most endangered natural treasures around the Americas. NRDC selects special places in our hemisphere that face an imminent threat of destruction, from pristine coastlines that could become industrial ports to ancient forests that could be stripped of trees to unspoiled wildlife habitats that could be sacrificed to oil and gas drilling.
"Our imperiled BioGems are irreplaceable remnants of wilderness that curb global warming, preserve biodiversity and provide sanctuary for rare and extraordinary wildlife, from threatened polar bears to endangered gray whales," reports NRDC.
NRDC launched its BioGems Initiative back in 2001 as a way to harness the power of online citizen activism to help save threatened lands. The group mobilizes its 1.3 million members and online activists "to bring overwhelming pressure to bear on governments and companies bent on industrializing the world's last wild places."
Never afraid of a little attention, NRDC has enlisted the help of several celebrity partners in championing the cause of saving the BioGems. Robert Redford is spearheading NRDC's campaign to keep the Polar Bear Seas safe from oil drilling, while Pierce Brosnan is leading the charge to try to bring an end to the commercial slaughter of whales.
The group has also brought the star power of Leonardo Di Caprio, Paul McCartney, Alec Baldwin, Seth Myers, Jason Mraz and others to bear for the sake of saving BioGems.
"Together, BioGems Defenders and our local partners on the ground have scored dozens of historic victories for the environment, proving that individuals can be a powerful force for conservation," reports NRDC.
Some of the campaign's recent successes include: helping to persuade Iceland to call off its fin whale hunt for the second year in a row; protecting the last 340 beluga whales of Alaska's Cook Inlet through filing a lawsuit; helping secure a breakthrough agreement for wild buffalo that allows them to roam outside Yellowstone National Park during the harsh winter months; and winning in court over trophy hunters keen on stripping the polar bear from its endangered status.
Currently NRDC is focusing on a half dozen primary BioGems campaigns: keeping Shell out of the American Arctic (unfortunately the company's drills just went in); stopping Big Oil's attack on whales in Alaska's Cook Inlet and up and down the Atlantic seaboard; stopping the pipeline from Alberta's tar sands to Texas refineries (Obama has kyboshed the pipeline for now); stopping the Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay, Alaska; and saving British Columbia's Spirit Bear coast.
Individuals can get involved by customizing and sending pre-written e-mail messages to decision makers who are key to the particular locales in need of protection. NRDC will also gladly take donations of any size toward the BioGem campaign of the giver's choosing. Of course, telling your friends, neighbors, co-workers and family members what you have learned about the potential despoliation of natural treasures, many in our own backyard, is also a big help.

Because the boss's damage increases each time you transition the phase, it is important to take more stacks early rather than later. Order, 11 scorp - 7 cat - 5 scorp - 5 cat - 4 scorp - 5 cat - 4 scorp.
The first scorpion phase go to 11, time aura mastery so it gets #8 and #9, and then get a warrior to use rallying cry for #10, spread after #11.
First cat phase group up after 7, no cooldowns needed.
Second scorpion phase go to 5 (or 6 if your healers are really good). Use rallying cry for #1, spirit link #2, spirit link #3, aura mastery #4, raid wall #5, spread after #5. This phase is harder because you will have members running out to drop off their seeds.
Second cat phase go to 5, no cooldowns needed.
Third scorpion phase group up after 4. Use nothing for the first, rallying cry for #2, aura mastery #3, aura mastery #4, spread after #4.
Third cat phase go to 5, no cooldowns needed. This phase will have ranged taking orb damage so be aware.
Fourth scorpion phase group up after 4. Use rallying cry for #2, rallying cry for #3, aura mastery #4, spread after #4.
Fourth cat phase group up after 5, no cooldowns needed.
Fifth scorpion phase go to 4. spirit link #2, spirit link #3, aura mastery + raid wall #4. Seeds this phase. Boss should die in this phase, if he doesn't you need more dps.
I assume you use 1 paladin healer for aura mastery, 2 shaman healers for spirit link, a paladin tank, and 3 dps warriors for rallying cry.
You can sub in disc priests for shaman healers, warrior tank for pally tank, or other healer cooldowns instead of dps warriors. Just make sure you plan out your cooldown order ahead of time.

Attorney General Martha Coakley on Thursday warned Massachusetts homeowners to be wary of foreclosure-rescue scams, citing legal actions her office filed against two local companies that the state said took advantage of people trying to save their homes.
Coakley contends both companies unlawfully required upfront payments from homeowners trying to avoid foreclosure, among other violations. Despite a state law banning such pre-payments, she said, many people still fall victim to the tactic.

Imagine logging on to the Internet, and receiving a pop-up message telling you the Federal Bureau of Investigation is freezing your computer. It happens to thousands of people every day, and it's a scam.
Worse, the virus demands credit card payment to unlock the computer. The malware has stolen thousands from innocent victims.
The Better Business Bureau says this message is not from the FBI. The virus can even install software that enables scammers to steal the identity of the user.
The BBB says to never input credit card information when told the FBI is freezing a computer. If the computer is in fact frozen, take it to an expert to have the virus removed.
The best way to prevent the FBI virus from freezing your computer is to keep anti-virus software up to date.

Don't worry. Although I've already written a couple of things on the NBA lockout, I promise not to make it a habit because I find the whole thing as stupid as you do.
But this video rocks!
It's an animated breakdown of the labor war between the owners and players. The audio is in Taiwanese. But don't worry. There are English subtitles. Besides, the cartoons break it down quite nicely by themselves.
This production comes from the website NMA.tv (Next Media Animation). It includes Lakers and union mouthpiece Derek Fisher playing one-on-one against NBA commissioner David Stern, Stern carrying a chainsaw to divide a pizza as Fisher and LeBron James watch, a doctor caring for "franchises" (logos with dangling legs) in intensive care … well, I don't want to give it all away.
The summary concludes: "The first two weeks of the season have been cancelled, prompting some players to join foreign leagues. We in Taiwan say, "long live the lockout!"
And now, we present our feature attraction.

Maybe next they can do one that simplifies the absurdity of J-Smoove jacking up 3 point brick after 3=point brick. Maybe Smith can watch the cartoon, understand it better than a coach blasting away, and finally learn that his butt belongs in the paint.
Alas, both ending the lockout and ending Smith's bricks appear to be a long way away!

This isn't like the NFL where the players have no alternative. The cartoon is right, the players can go overseas and basically make the same money. I don't see them caving for a while.

Sports is not identified by the players…but by the fans…and they continue to be overly paid children who have no need to make that much money per year. When all that extra revenue could be given back to the fans, lower ticket prices, concessions, and new stadiums…instead of taxing the general public for these things. How much money is enough to this people? especially when there are people needing job and income.

You "lost" $300 million because of the way the financial documents are created by slick accountants under GAAP, not because you actually lost any money at all.

I look forward to Ga Tech and Georgia's seasons, but if the NBA disappeared forever, I couldn't care less. A bunch of punks and thugs with some degree of talent, where travelling doesn't exist unless you take 5 steps. The NBA is almost closer to rugby than basketball. At the end of a bunch of boring, no-talent running and hitting, some goon puts the ball in the basket, then everybody acts like they've done something important. If you didn't have the loud-mouthed moron broadcasters, fans would probably abandon the NBA.

Spud- given the increasing number of Latinos in this country, barring a massive export of illegals you probably are correct.
Bryant Gumbel called David Stern a "plantation overseer"???? Take race out of it for one second. Stern is the president of a league where the majority of the participants probably have a 9th grade education AT BEST!! IF they went to college it was only for a year and they only have to make grades the 1st semester (which they are tutored around the clock for) since you have to have a certain GPA to participate. They finish their season in March, essentially drop out, and enter the draft, and that's if they went to college at all.
A powerful business man taking advantage of the fact that his employees are uneducated. Shocking.
By the way, trying to compare this to slavery is pretty awful considering 90% of the league could retire today and never worry about money.

President Obama travels to Wall Street today, marking the anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse by pushing for an increased government role in overseeing the financial system.
But much of the American public is already leery of more government intervention than already has occurred.
The New York Times writes that the government is the nation's biggest lender, insurer, automaker and guarantor against risk for investors.
Between financial rescue missions and the economic stimulus program, government spending accounts for a bigger share of the nation's economy — 26 percent — than at any time since World War II, the Times writes. The government is financing 9 out of 10 new mortgages in the United States.
The Obama administration and its supporters argue that it has taken these actions as a temporary measure to prop up an economy that was headed for disaster. Things would have gotten a lot worse without such direct government intervention, they say.
For months, this issue has been widening the American divide over the proper role of government. That divide will likely grow in coming months as more regulation is proposed.
In the AJC:

Our government has become a monster and is crowding out capital which normally would go to business investments. Our taxes are now being used to buy off the unions by propping up inefficient auto manufacturers and subsidizing housing loans for people who could not normally qualify for such low rates. Now it has decided to pay off the unions by blocking tires from China. If we get a trade war going with China, the American people will pay a big price. This recession will turn into a full blown depression and will last for another decade.
But it doesn't seem to matter to the AJC. All that seems to matter is that we have a black president who is implementing "social justice" by spreading the wealth around.
September 14th, 2009
7:00 am
Buzz G, the government isn't crowding out capital for business investments! How are you figuring that? I rather see the government pushing some much needed capital into the void left by the spineless venture capitalists. I have never seen so few IPOs being offered. If you own a business it is almost impossible to get money from the "capitalists" whether it is a debt or equity offering. If the credit markets are still frozen, and if no capital is forthcoming from the investment bankers, you better hope that someone steps in a gets the ball rolling. Whether you hate it or not, the government is doing this, and, if they didn't one has to wonder what would happen to our "capitalist" system. By the way, one reason VXs aren't doing more is because the people in this country have lost their courage. They only want to invest in a "sure thing" and most corporations are not sure things. If they invest and don't get a return, if they lose money, then they sue the brokerage firms that bring the offerings. You talk a good game, but bottom line, capitalism spreads the wealth around, it just does it in a different way. I would ask you, where do you have your money invested? Have you bought a bond in the last year? Are you one of the fair weather investors that only keeps your money in the market when it's going up? If you are, you have no right to criticize.

Problem with flooded boiler (7 Posts)

Problem with flooded boilerHi All,
I've got a single pipe steam system, 5 radiators, and a Burnham boiler that was installed in 01, with a Bock indirect water heater.
I've had no problems with it since I bought the house in 07. Water level has been very constant. It does not have an auto-fill, but obviously has a LWCO.
This morning I woke up to my pipes clanging like mad, which they have never done. Went downstairs and shut off the boiler, and the water level was over the top of the sight glass. I drained out probably 5 or 6 gallons to get it down to the proper level again, and watched it for a bit. I figured maybe the fill valve got some kind of schmutz in it or wasn't closed all the way, so I opened/reclosed it. After a few hours, it looked like the water level had crept up another 1/8" or so. (Boiler switch had been on, but it had not fired.) so I drained again back down to the recommended fill line and realized there was a secondary ball valve on the fresh water fill line back behind the boiler, so I closed that too, to hopefully figure out if it was the normally-used fill valve that was leaking.
Now, I have VERY rarely known 1/4 turn ball valves to go bad, so I find it odd that the fill valve would just suddenly decide to start leaking......
It also occurred to me that maybe it could be getting in from the hot water tank? I guess maybe if there was a leak in the coil that goes into the boiler, that would cause water to enter the boiler, but that, too, seems unlikely since this is all fairly new equipment (relatively speaking).
Anyone have thoughts on what the most likely culprit is? I have a service guy coming tomorrow to check it out, but I figured if I can prepare myself with any relevant data to give him that would be good.
I'm going to continue to watch the water level with both ball valves on the fill line shut off. Assuming it's unlikely that BOTH valves failed, if the water level goes up, that would point to the hot water coil?
If it is that, how much damage am I looking at price-wise? (Or is it something I could do myself?)
Sorry for the huge post, just wanted to give as much info as I can. You guys are great.

Pinhole leak?If the level continues to rise with both fill valves closed i would suspect a leak in the indirect tank. You could shut the house water feed into the indirect off and see if that stops the level creep. If that does stop the level from rising in the boiler the indirect would have to be replaced or repaired. Nothing lasts forever and it may be that the indirects heat exchanger has a pinhole in it.

Bad Ball ValveThis wasn't in a steam application, but I had a 1/4 turn ball valve go bad twice. Debris in the line got in the valve and chewed up the silicone plastic seal around the ball. The more I opened and closed, the worse it got. Not very common but it does happen. If you have a stethoscope (every toolbox should) listen to the valve. You can hear the slightest of leaks with it.

looks like the coilWell, as suggested, I shut off the intake/output to the water heater, and the level has been constant for several hours now, which would lead me to believe that it is in fact the coil for the indirect water heater that has a pinhole leak.
1. Are these repairable?
2. If not, does anyone have a suggestion for the best replacement? and also...
3. Should I look into an alternative to using an indirect? Maybe electric or natural gas water heater?
Thanks all....

Might be covered?The Bock site lists the Bock Sidekick as having a 7 year warranty, but if it was registered at installation it may have a limited lifetime warranty so perhaps it can be fixed at an affordable cost. Do you know if the anode rods have ever been replaced?
It depends on what your hot water needs are to hazard a guess what kind of use you would get from a standard gas or electric hot water tank. In most areas a gas fired hot water tank is cheaper to operate than the electric tanks. i suspect the cost of installing a new indirect might be 3X that of a gas fired water heater so you would have to decide if your hot water needs warrant the expense.

HybridI would highly recommend looking into a hybrid hot water heater. There are several options out there, but a continuous flow unit with a small holding tank is perfect for home installations. You get instant hot water for washing hands and such from the tank, then continuous hot water when it runs out. I love ours.

OptionsWell, my hot water needs are very small. I take 5 minute showers, and have lived off-grid often... but I also may end up selling this house in the next few years, so I don't want to tailor it specifically to me. I also don't want to go cheap and crappy, as I am not a fan of disposable crap equipment.
I guess I figured my cheapest option would be to just swap out the indirect for another indirect, but from what I'm hearing, that's not the case.
Last I knew, I can get gas run to my house by the city if I install a water heater, so that's an option.... it's also worth noting that due to it being a city-run electric company, and having our own hydro... our electric is very cheap.
Are folks thinking a better option would be to eliminate the indirect altogether and do something else?
I know that, since the tech coming tomorrow is from my oil company, he will probably recommend going with another indirect (if indeed, I need to replace it).... so I welcome other opinions.

Clint Eastwood was NOT put up to his painful Barack Obama schtick last night by the producers of his family's reality show -- in fact, sources close to the legend tell TMZ, Clint "acts that way all the time at home."
There's been a lot of speculation -- Clint's bit was so awful ... there's no way it wasn't a setup for reality TV ... but we're told it really wasn't. The whole thing was Clint's idea, and even his family had no clue what he planned to do on stage.
According to sources, Clint's family's reality show "Mrs. Eastwood & Company" has not officially been picked up for a 2nd season and they're not currently in production -- so there's no way producers could have had a hand in last night's trainwreck.
We're told Clint's family believes his speech was widely misunderstood -- Clint just has a dry sense of humor that people don't understand.
The best part is is plays to the seniors - so anyone younger then 55 looks like a tool for making negative comments
The man is aging - just like all of you .... I think he did a terrific job and I understood every word.... and he did it without any teleprompter so the man is still a quick thinker!
I loved his speach. I am so tired of politics. I dont believe a word they say. I thought it was very funny and he did a good job. Who said it was a train wreck? If it was so bad why did the white house feel the need to reply or acknowledge it. TMZ please keep your polotics out of your stories and just report. Dont spin it.
He sounded like a blubbering idiot.....which pretty much sums up everyone in the republican party.
And I thought Mitt Romney himself would be the biggest azz at the event. I guess the best that Romney can do is vice-azz.
I loved it & thought it was funny. He's an 82 year old man that has the guts to get up there and voice his opinion while also entertaining people. Good for him!!
Sorry Hollywood Libs, I read you're tweets about Clint and quite honestly I didn't know who half of you even were.
You guys are pretty messed up... Slanting left at the expense of an American hero like Clint Eastwood just sucks. The guy is 80+ years old for Christ' sake. Referring to his speech as "painful schtick" or as a "trainwreck" could not be more disrespectful (I don't care what CNN or ABC had to say). Shame on you TMZ.
Even though I am an Obama supporter, I think the idea was a brilliant way to of expressing their message. Clint is getting old, so you can't expect the sharp performance of years ago. But, the whole thing is what you'd expect at a RNC
Very sad. he`s obviously somewhat demented. Happens to the best of them.
I thought Clint Eastwood was very funny and made excellent points at the same time. I've been a registered democrat for 30 years and I'm disgusted about how the far left has taken the party bordering on socialism and elitism(naturally the powerful would be the elite and just pass around everyone else's money). I used to enjoy Chris Matthews years ago. Now he's just a fast-talking blathering idiot who "senses" racism at every turn. I can't remember what the U.S.S.R.'s News organization was called before, but it's called MSNBC now.
If the far-far left media has to pick on Clint and his presentation, they must be seeing something really disturbing in the polls to make them so desperate. I guess the republican tent is where I should be from now on.
Ha, you think as awful because he doesn't support your liberal trash agenda. I thought Clint was GREAT and support everything he said!
Obama is going to lose big.
don't be hating on clint !!!! he did an outstanding job. He was like obama when he doesn't use his telepromter. the truth doesn't lie........
Let's face reality. Majority of American don't care about the conventions regardless of party. Eastwood brought people to watch and the left overs stayed to watch Romney. What once was just another Thursday is now being talked about everywhere. And now it will be interesting to see if the Democrats can pull off a stunt to attract viewers. But the bottom line is, Eastwood was funny.
If Mr. Eastwood would have made the same speech for obama you would have praised his words and commended him for being truthful but since he is not a fanatical liberal like yourself you insult him to the point of calling his remarks stupid and even though I disagree with you I am proud to live in a country where everyone can say what they think without being afraid of persecution or punishment for their words so I can see how having a law degree and being on television doesn't give a person the culture or education to respect other peoples choices and opinions that differ from them as you ( Harvey) have shown and keep on showing every day with your remarks.
He is a great ACTOR and his performance was aimed at his target audience, the RNC attendees. He also got them a lot of publicity.
