"If I'm eating dinner with the hero, put poison in his goblet, then have to leave the table for any reason, I will order new drinks for both of us instead of trying to decide whether or not to switch with him."Two enemies are sharing a drink and one of the glasses contains poison. At least one of them will attempt to poison the other by switching glasses while the other's back is turned. Common joke is either that someone poisons a chalice, then they get switched over, or someone knows he's got a poisoned drink, and tries to find a chance to dispose of it without being obvious, or pretending to swap the glasses, waiting for the enemy to really swap them and drink. A common trick (most famously seen in The Princess Bride) is to poison both drinks. A less lethal variation is to shake up a bottle or can of soda or beer. A Discredited Trope, more often parodied (or made fun of) than played straight these days. When switched and switched back, this is Two Rights Make A Wrong.

Albany, NY (July 22, 2014)
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the designation of specific portions of roadway throughout St. Lawrence County as the "St. Lawrence Wine Trail" in recognition and promotion of the region's growing wine industry. The designation, which is New York's 18th official wine trail and marked by signs along seven highways, will raise awareness of the vineyards and wineries in this corner of the State and attract new visitors to St. Lawrence County.
"New York produces some of the best wines in the nation and with our support, the sky is the limit for this vital industry," said Governor Cuomo. "The St. Lawrence Wine Trail will guide visitors to extraordinary wine, boosting Upstate tourism and growing the local economy. This trail designation will help visitors to the region discover the gem that is St. Lawrence County's growing wine industry."
The St. Lawrence Wine Trail follows portions of County Route 6, State Route 37, County Routes 27 and 10, State Route 68, U.S. Route 11, and State Route 11-C, all within St. Lawrence County.
Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Senator Patty Ritchie, sponsor of the bill, said, "New York State's wine industry has seen significant growth in recent years, and this legislation represents an opportunity for the North Country to capitalize on that boom by literally putting our wineries on the map for both locals and tourists to easily find and visit. This measure will boost business for local establishments, help to create jobs and encourage even more wineries to open and join the ranks of the fine establishments on the new St. Lawrence Wine Trail."
Assembly Member Addie J. Russell said, "The St. Lawrence Wine Trail will help more visitors find their way through the North Country, as well as highlight the tremendous success of our flourishing wine industry. I thank Governor Cuomo for his support in promoting one of this region's unique strengths and look forward to welcoming many visitors following the Trail."
St. Lawrence County Legislative Chairman Jonathan Putney said, "The St. Lawrence Wine Trail is a welcome addition to the roadways throughout our area. The Trail will elevate our vibrant wine production by ultimately bringing more visitors to buy world-class products from small businesses, continuing to enrich our communities and strengthen the economy. I applaud Governor Cuomo for continuing to support St. Lawrence County and the wine industry, and Senator Ritchie and Assembly Member Russell for sponsoring this bill."

David Horowitz was one of the founders of the New Left in the 1960s and an editor of its largest magazine, Ramparts. He is the author, with Peter Collier, of three best selling dynastic biographies: The Rockefellers: An American Dynasty (1976); The Kennedys: An American Dream (1984); and The Fords: An American Epic (1987). Looking back in anger at their days in the New Left, he and Collier wrote Destructive Generation (1989), a chronicle of their second thoughts about the 60s that has been compared to Whittaker Chambers' Witness and other classic works documenting a break from totalitarianism. Horowitz examined this subject more closely in Radical Son (1996), a memoir tracing his odyssey from "red-diaper baby" to conservative activist that George Gilder described as "the first great autobiography of his generation." His latest book is Take No Prisoners: The Battle Plan for Defeating the Left (Regnery Publishing).

For three quarters, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards traded runs. For three quarters, the Cavaliers kept the game close despite only shooting 2-12 from deep through three quarters and struggling to get consistent offensive production from anyone not named Spencer Hawes.
But it was in the final quarter that the Cavaliers ultimately lost the game and blew their chance to regain some of the momentum they lost when they lost to the Toronto Raptors last Friday. In the final quarter, the Cavaliers were only able to score 11 points as opposed to the Wizards' 18 and cost themselves some positioning in the crowded bottom half of the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Coming into the game, the Cavaliers found themselves less than five games back of the Brooklyn Nets in the East. Tonight's loss, while not head-to-head loss against a team in similar standing, did drop them another half game behind the Nets for East's eighth and final playoff spot. That half game will be stretched to a full game back if the Nets can beat the Los Angeles Lakers.
The games tipping point came about midway through the fourth, when in a span of a few minutes, the Wizards took any wind the Cavaliers had left in their comeback sails. It started when Wizards guard Bradley Beal was fouled in the open court by Hawes. The referees ruled the foul a clear path foul and Beal went to the line. He made one of two free throws and stretched the Washington lead to nine.
And then Washington point guard John Wall, with some help from Wizards forward Trevor Ariza, went all-in and ripped the sails off the Cavaliers mast. Wall hit step-back jump shot from the right wing that prompted a Cavalier timeout and visibly took away some of the Cavaliers remaining energy. Ariza, on the other, hit a well defended triple that came right as the Cavaliers started to look like they had one more run left in them.
As the game wore on, the Wizards kept on making these types of plays – plays that simply ate away at the Cavaliers and ultimately resulted in a 96-83 defeat.
Editor's note: The Nets did beat the Lakers, thus putting the Cavaliers another full game out of the final spot in the Eastern Conference.

Thanks, Darren ... i've been looking in the fish and game regs and in the internet.. for hours .... without any success.. I was hoping somone might save me more time.. I like reading the actual reg....I've looked thru the forums before but didn't recall any actual reg being cited...
Posted 20 September 2010 - 05:26 PM
Good question. You got me curious. Turns out it's not in the regulations on the DFG's website. It's a statute that's part of the California Fish & Game Code. Section 3012 of the California Fish & Game Code states: "3012. It is unlawful to use any recorded or electrically amplified bird or mammal calls or sounds, or recorded or electrically amplified imitations of bird or mammal calls or sounds, to assist in taking any bird or mammal, except nongame birds and nongame mammals as permitted by regulations of the commission."This general prohibition would cover deer. Here's the link.http://www.leginfo.c...;file=3000-3012
Posted 20 September 2010 - 05:58 PM
If you are hunting coyotes then use your call, if you are hunting deer leave it in the truck.For good measure I think you should delete any calls that can be construed as "deer calls".Good luck and don't leave deer in your truck. Get him hanging in a cooler, then coyote hunt.
Posted 20 September 2010 - 06:08 PM
Hey, thanks guys.. been looking all over for the reg.... It's a shame that we need to go to two places to get all the info.... Seems like it should all be in the Dept of fish and game reg.. I'll have to read . .... and see if possession of the call in the vehicle is a problem... I have no problem with legal take.. it's staying out of trouble that is difficult... I guess i better say no trouble after i get a deer..... I haven't been out in the field for a while.. Good thing i like to walk... do 6 and even 12 on some days... Been retired... so i walk...and fish .... Guilty until proven innocent.... when you have a gun...
Posted 20 September 2010 - 06:13 PM
it's a shame when you gotta drive so far to go shooting or hunting ... Living i So. Cal sucks hunting wise.....Been fishing out on the channel islands alot... so i don't get the hebe jebes, from sitting around.. I'm gonna plan some trips to Texas or Kansas and spend some money.....why not...
Posted 20 September 2010 - 06:22 PM
You know, the easy way around the issue is leave your e-caller at home and take some mouth calls. They are perfectly legal to use and you won't get in trouble. And remember, people have killed a lot of coyotes with out e-callers. Yea, I know, some folks think they have to have the e-caller to call in animals, but it just isn't so! Take the mouth calls, feel comfortable as to the deer hunting, and have some fun. Good luck too on both kinds of hunts! And if you don't have any hand calls, give me a shout and we can take care of that issue real quick.

hard to beat the hand -calls. when I have a smart coyote thats what I count on.
Posted 21 September 2010 - 08:25 AM
Whats a E caller Whats the limit on Es . Get a good fawn call and hunt deer and yotes at the same time.
You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

Can DigitalGlobe Relaunch After A Reset To Expectations?

- Commercial revenue opportunities have developed more slowly than expected for DigitalGlobe.

- DigitalGlobe has a meaningful edge with high resolution satellite-based imagery and could be worth $36 today on high single-digit revenue growth, but must deliver strong commercial revenue growth.

Man As Industrial Palace: Classic Poster Animated
In 1926 German physician, artist and writer Fritz Kahn created this fascinating chromolithograph of the human body and it's imaginary inner workings. Conceived at a time when Germany was a world leader in the chemicals industry, Der Mensch als Industriepalast (Man as Industrial Palace) compartmentalized the body, creating rooms where workers diligently carried out the circulatory, digestive, metabolic and respiratory work of the body. In this modernist view of anatomy each input, be it air or food, was broken down into it's individual elements.
After being forgotten for many years, Henning Lenderer, a German visual communication and animation student, has recently breathed new life into the classic poster. Illustrating 6 different cycles within the "human factory," he created a captivating and highly detailed animation of the poster as it has never been seen before. Be sure to check out the video at the bottom of this post and his full presentation of the project at industriepalast.com.

The bye week might be pretty unpleasant in Gainesville.
After watching his team lose 36-17 at Missouri today, Florida coach Will Muschamp unloaded about the list of problems his team has to fix during the upcoming off week.
Missouri rolled up 500 yards of offense, the most by a UF opponent in five years. The Gators' offense produced 151 yards (92 passing, 59 rushing), its lowest output since 1999.
Here are some of Muschamp's post-game thoughts: [More]

I'm tired of all of the names mentioned by others; top of my ugh list are Sophie/Sophia, Ellie and all the flower names, especially Lily and Violet. Add to them any girls' names that end in "son" (Madison, Allison, Addison, etc.) Why would you name a baby girl a name that means "son of?" I am also bored with all the variations of Sean for both boys and girls, and Aidan, and those made up last names that are really occupations, like Hunter, Taylor, Archer, Carter, Miller, Parker, Cooper, etc.

Aztec Club of 1847
The Aztec Club of 1847 is a historic society founded in 1847 by United States Army officers of the Mexican–American War. It exists as a hereditary organization including members who can trace a direct lineal connection to those originally eligible.
Similar to the earlier Society of the Cincinnati, which arose out of the officer class of the American Revolutionary War, the Aztec Club was predecessor of the veterans' organizations like the Grand Army of the Republic and the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States which were formed by veteran officers after the American Civil War.
The Aztec Club of 1847 is, in point of age, the second ranking American patriotic society, coming next after the Society of the Cincinnati. Included in the roster of original members, which lists some 160 military officers are, in the words of K. Jack Baurer, "most of the major figures of the Mexican War army and a large group whose fame would come a decade and a half later as leaders of the Union and Confederate Armies in the Struggle of 1861-1865.[1][2] It is the only military society to which Robert Edward Lee belonged.[3] By an Act of Congress, its medal is to this day authorized for wear on America's military uniforms.[4]
After the last battles of the Mexican-American War a sizable force of regular U.S. Army troops occupied Mexico City; on October 13, 1847, a meeting of officers was held in the city to form a social clubhouse for their entertainment. The original organizers were Robert C. Buchanan, Henry Coppée, John B. Grayson, John B. Magruder, Franklin Pierce, Charles F. Smith, and Charles P. Stone. The club's first president, elected that evening, was John A. Quitman.[5]
The site chosen for the club was the former home of the Mexican minister to the United States, an 18th-century palace originally built for the Viceroy of New Spain, just off the Plaza de la Constitución, the Zócalo of the conquered city.[5] On January 13, 1848, a formal club constitution had been adopted, with a $20 initiation fee. Commanding general of the occupying army, Winfield Scott was voted into honorary membership.[6]
". . .The Club was organized for the purpose of forming a resort for officers, as a promoter of good fellowship, and of furnishing a home where they could pass their leisure hours in social intercourse, and where more palatable and healthful viands could be procured at a reduced price than at the best Fandas of the city."
By March, the constitution had been printed, along with a list of the original members, all officers serving in Regular or Volunteer units of the U.S. Army or U.S. Navy. Officers from state militia organizations were not eligible for membership. The constitution stated the club's purpose was to give members a place to live together, dine together, and otherwise entertain their guests, allowing members to pool resources while stationed in the City of Mexico. When it became apparent the army would soon leave the city for home, members met on May 26 to determine the future of the club, electing officers for a term to end September 14, 1852, intending a reunion of members on or before that date at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.[6] Persifor F. Smith was elected as club president to replace Quitman, who had already returned to Washington, D.C. Grayson was elected as "substitute president" and "acting treasurer." In June, the club, consisting of 160 regular and three honorary members, was declared adjourned.[6] In November, 1848, honorary club member Zachary Taylor, hero of the Battle of Buena Vista, was elected President of the United States.
Six of the club's members have been the standard bearers of their respective parties for President of the United States: Zachary Taylor, Franklin Pierce, Ulysses S. Grant, Winfield Scott, George B. McClellan and Winfield S. Hancock. Of these, three have been elected to and have administered that great office. Two of its members have been candidates for Vice President of the United States, John A. Logan and Simon Bolivar Buckner, and a long line of its distinguished members have held high place in Congress, in the professions and other prominent fields of civic authority and in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps.[7]
As the Aztec Club was formed only 14 years prior to the outbreak of the American Civil War, many of its members rose to prominence during that conflict, with a significant number becoming generals in either the Union or Confederate armies.
Military society[edit]
Club membership was dispersed during the years following the war; in 1852 a group of members met at USMA, and on their behalf Fitz-John Porter wrote a letter proposing a new slate of officers, with Benjamin Huger as new club president.[8] In November 1852, Franklin Pierce was elected President of the United States, the second of three Aztec Club members to be elected to the office.
During the 1850s, the society did not meet, though society members often led reunions of Mexican–American War veterans. John Quitman attended many such reunions, and hosted former comrades at his Monmouth plantation at Natchez, Mississippi. Since the club's original constitution seemed inadequate to the needs of such an association, Quitman called a meeting at Delmonico's in New York City, New York to be held on September 14, 1855, the eighth anniversary of the club's dedication, to form a new "Montezuma Society" designed for the purpose of "...renewing and cultivating those ties of fellowship and sympathy, which are naturally so prone to exist between men who have served together in War ."[9] Matthew C. Perry, recently returned from his trip to Japan, was elected the president of the new society. By 1859, both Perry and Quitman had died, and with them the Montezuma Society.[9]
Hereditary society[edit]
On September 14, 1867, a meeting of the Aztec Club was held at Astor House in New York City. Robert Patterson, original member and last president of the Montezuma Society was given the chair by motion, with Peter V. Hagner as treasurer and George Sykes to serve as acting secretary.[10] At this meeting, practices were established which would make the organization enduring. Officers were elected, an annual meeting was designated, a list of members printed, and commemorative insignia ordered designed and distributed to members and families of the 65 deceased club members as of the printing.[10] A practice was established that members would elect the club vice-president, elevated to office when the president died or retired. As a result, Patterson retained presidency of the club from 1867 to 1881. Under Patterson's leadership the club evolved from a society of military comrades to an organization which first included sons of eligible but deceased officers, and eventually (after his death) became an association of lineal descendants.[10]
In November, 1868, twenty-one years after the cessation of hostilities in Mexico City, Ulysses S. Grant, an original member of the Aztec Club, was elected President of the United States, the third member to do so. Many of the club's annual meetings had been held at Patterson's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania home, but at President Grant's offer, in 1874 the meeting was held at the White House.[11]
Following the War of the Rebellion (America's Civil War), members of the Aztec Club began a series of significant annual meetings which resulted in the Club's evolution into a hereditary society which exists to this day.
Undoubtedly one of the more memorable annual meetings of this time period, the members gathered on September 14, 1874 at Willard Hotel, Washington, D. C. The main focus of this meeting was the growing desire to position the Aztec Club for the future, thereby ensuring its perpetuity.
At 7 o'clock, P. M., September 14, 1874, in pursuance of the invitation of General Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States, a member of the Club, the members present repaired to the White House to dine with him. They were received by the President and Mrs. Grant, and at half past seven were ushered into Dinner in the State Dining Room.[12][13]
On September 15, 1881 at the invitation of George William Childs, Philadelphia publisher, journalist and philanthropist, the Aztec Club met and dined at his newly constructed hotel, Hotel Bellevue, at Wayne Station on the Pennsylvania railroad. General Robert Patterson, longtime President of the Aztec Club, had died the preceding August 7 and General Winfield Scott Hancock succeeded him as President. As General Hancock was not in attendance at the meeting, it was chaired by General Ulysses S. Grant. Gen. Grant was elected Vice President of the Club, announcing his intention to become its President in 1885.[14][15]
Attending the meeting was a galaxy of stars from the Civil War, both Union and Confederate, brothers in arms during the Mexican War, many of whom as fate would have it were on opposite sides of the War of the Rebellion. Following the Civil War, they reunited recognizing that yet another burden had been placed upon them—that of bringing the war-torn country back together again.[15]

Among the many talented players in Bartow, several developed their games while training with Cartersville Parks and Recreation Tennis Coordinator J.P Vidour at Dellinger Park.
"I work with tons of players, a lot of the players that play for the local schools. We work with almost all of them," Vidour said. "There are a lot of talented players. These players, they all play in competitive tennis tournaments and they travel."
Two freshmen, Avery Cornett and Kenly King, played big roles on Bartow County tennis teams this past spring and train with Vidour.
Cornett was the No. 1 singles player for the Cass boys tennis team while King was the No. 2 player for the region champion Cartersville girls team.
Behind Cornett at Cass on the No. 2 singles line in 2014 was Eric Dunlap, another Vidour disciple.
Erin Marratta was the No. 1 player for Woodland's girls team as a junior and also trains with Vidour.
Vidour also has trained with Excel Christian Academy's No. 1 singles player, Cade Archer, among others.
In addition to the players currently contributing to Bartow high school teams, there also is plenty of talent on the horizon, according to Vidour.
"We have a lot of 9-year-olds, 10-year-olds. They're prodigies. They're awesome," Vidour said. "The little group that I love, the 9-, 10-year-olds are very good. Mac Dempsey is going into the fifth grade. Luke Gambill, Emma McCary, Anderson [McCary], those kids are going to be the best that ever came out of Cartersville if things go their way and they keep playing. We're excited about them. They are so young and they are playing so good."
Assistant coaches at Dellinger Park include Terry Billings and former Woodland High No. 1 singles player Andrew McMillan.
Under the tutelage of the Dellinger Park tennis staff, some players have already gone on to earn college scholarships. Cartersville High graduate Maggie Dowling is currently playing for Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, while Cartersville alum Trevor Gotkowski played No. 4 and No. 5 singles for Wofford in 2014. Gotkowski also went 7-2 as a member of the No. 3 doubles team.
"Trevor trained with us for a long time," Vidour said. "He's one of the best players ever from Cartersville."
Vidour, himself, comes from Argentina and moved to the United States nearly 10 years ago to play for Shorter University.
"I came to play college tennis. I had a good time there. Then, while I was playing, I was coaching part-time and I loved tennis, so I just figured I would stay in it," Vidour said. "I started in business administration, but my passion was tennis, so I said, 'I'm going to go with what I love,' and there was a great opportunity here at Dellinger. I just love it."
Vidour has already made an impact on the growing tennis scene in the area and has been with the Cartersville Parks and Recreation Department for five years.
"I feel like we have around 60 players, and that's just the players that come in a couple of times a week. When we started, we had about half as many," Vidour said. "Sometimes, the athletes play football, basketball, baseball, whatever. Now we are finally getting the really good athletes. The young athletes that played two sports are now committing to tennis. The ones from 10 to 15 years old are training 15 hours a week and they come almost every day. So we are getting more athletes.
"Cartersville is going to be known as far as developing good players. In the last couple of years, we already have top 100 players in Georgia. Kenly King, she is 86 [in the USTA rankings]. Luke Gambill is top 100, Anderson McCary is top 100. "
According to Vidour, the current success of the youth tennis players is just a start. Vidour hopes to improve the quality of players in the area, and in turn, grow the sport.
"The goal is to be the best program in the U.S. one day. It might take more years. You never know, but first to be one of the best programs in north Georgia," he said. "I think we are. We're getting more recognition from Atlanta. The key to everything is more players playing better and more players winning. It takes years to get that.
"The overall mission is to grow tennis. I believe if we have better players, I think that is a good way to create awareness."

The All-Star reserves will be released tonight, and as is the case every year, they are selected by coaches around the league but each coach is unable to choose for a player he coaches.
The starters have already been announced, as solely voted on by the fans. The Eastern Conference will start Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett. The Western Conference will counter with Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Dwight Howard.
I have an opinion of who should but I'll restrain myself and simply offer who I believe will get selected tonight.There are seven remaining All-Star spots for each side, and it is usually split up as two guards, three frontcourt players and two wild cards, who can be of any position.
For the West, Russell Westbrook should be a lock. Despite playing next to the best player in the Western Conference, he averages almost 23 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. With the absence of James Harden, Westbrook was expected to not only pick up his scoring production, but also become more of a pure point guard. This is seen in his 8.1 assists per game, up from 5.5 last season. His assist to turnover ratio has also risen from 1.53:1 to 2.31:1 in the same span. The only possible knock is his poor shooting numbers but he is still definitely worthy of an All-Star appearance. The team with the best record has to have at least two All-Star representatives in my book.
The third member of the former OKC Big 3 should also be heading to Houston in February, or rather, simply should remain there. James Harden has gone from 6th man and third option on offense with the Thunder to a being the main scorer for the Houston Rockets. He is now scoring almost 26 points per game by getting to the free throw line over 10 times a game, the highest number in the league. He has taken a Rockets team that was expected to be near the bottom of the Western Conference before the trade and turned it into a likely playoff team.
A Gasol will be flying to Houston a month from now but it will not be Pau. Most did not expect the Memphis Grizzlies to own a top four record in the brutal Western Conference, but Marc Gasol has led the best defensive team in the West, according to defensive efficiency. His per game numbers are impressive, but a top 4 team deserves a member on the All-Star team and Gasol is the most likely choice because of his defensive reputation.
For the big men, Tim Duncan sticks out of the crop. Like clockwork, the Spurs own one of the best records in the NBA in January and Duncan has been the team MVP, despite only playing 30 minutes a game. He is almost averaging a double-double and his reputation and career achievements will almost assuredly win him a roster spot for the All-Star team. For the same reason, Tony Parker will join him as a wild card, with a line of 20 points and over 7 assists per game. There are more worthy candidates but the coaches tend to choose familiar names.
Rounding out the team may be a duo from possibly the most surprising team in basketball. Stephen Curry has fought ankle injuries his entire career but is in the top 25 of the league in minutes played this season. He is an accomplished distributor and creative shooter, and his game lends itself to a more free-form style of play. This and his 20 points and 6.6 assists per game makes him a great candidate to earn his first All-Star appearance. David Lee can accomplish the same things because of the success of the Golden State Warriors. He is averaging a monster double-double and shooting .522 from the field (.561 TS%).
For the Eastern Conference, the choices are not as clear. To break it lightly, I do not see an Atlanta Hawk making the team, possibly due to their recent slide.
Chris Bosh is having a fantastic year and would be more celebrated were it not for his future Hall of Fame teammates. Despite matching up with centers on a nightly basis, he has still proven himself as one of the best offensive big men in the league. His field goal attempts and USG% are down but his efficiency is way up (.606 TS% and .552 eFG%). Throw in over 17 points and 7 rebounds per game and you have Bosh's 8th straight All-Star appearance.
Like Russell Westbrook, Jrue Holiday is another athletic former UCLA guard and is just now putting it all together. Without the services of the departing Lou Williams and Andre Iguodala, as well as the injured Andrew Bynum, he has shouldered the load of both the Philly offense and defense and has put together a career year thus far. He is averaging 19 points and 9 rebounds while guarding the opponent's best wing player every game. Though the 76ers may not make the playoffs, Holiday is having an outstanding year.
Paul George, like Jrue Holiday, has been the focal point of a Pacers team missing Danny Granger. He fills up the box score every night like Atlanta's own Josh Smith with 17 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assist, 2 steals and a block a night. Like the Memphis Grizzlies, the Pacers deserve an All-Star for being in the top 4 of their conference.
Without Derrick Rose, many Chicago Bulls are logging insane numbers of minutes but they have remained a top 3 defense all season long. The cog of that defense is center Joakim Noah, teammate of Al Horford at the University of Florida. He is averaging a double-double and plays more than 38 minutes a game. In a similar fashion, Tyson Chandler acts as an anchor for an otherwise underperforming New York Knicks defense. He shoots a ridiculous .674% by taking a high number of shots at the rim and also averages a double-double. However, his otherworldly defense is Chandler's signature and it is time for the All-Star team to better recognize defensive accomplishments.
Brook Lopez, on the other hand, will never be mistaken for a dominant defense center, although he does block 2 shots a game, but his offensive talents in the post have kept the Brooklyn Nets afloat in the Eastern Conference. In only 30 minutes a game, he averages almost 19 points per game on .521% shooting. It would be his first All-Star appearance. Paul Pierce will most likely get a bid as well, but neither he deserves it nor do the Celtics to have 3 All-Stars. However, he is a recognizable name and isn't exactly having a poor season.
Like stated before, it seems unlikely that either Al Horford or Josh Smith will be able to represent the Hawks in the All-Star game. Should the opportunity be there, Horford would probably get the nod over Josh, but the Hawks are not concerned with All-Star appearances regardless. Look for the focus tomorrow to be on getting revenge on the Boston Celtics, disregarding tonight's results.

Folows Us on Twitter
Plywood is a type of engineered board made from thin sheets of wood, called plies or wood veneers. The layers are glued together, each with its grain at right angles to adjacent layers for greater strength. There are usually an odd number of plies, as the symmetry makes the board less prone to warping , and the grain on the outside surfaces runs in the same direction. The plies are bonded under heat and pressure with strong adhesives, usually phenol formaldehyde resin, making plywood a type of composite material. Plywood is sometimes called the original engineered wood. The adhesives used in plywood has become a point of concern, due to the off gassing of the formaldehyde. Both urea formaldehyde and phenol formaldehyde are carcinogenic, so their use undesirable. Many manufacturers are turning to "Greener Products" as government regulations become stronger against the use of these adhesives. A common reason for using plywood instead of plain wood is its resistance to cracking, shrinkage, twisting/warping, and its general high degree of strength. It has replaced many dimensional lumbers on construction applications for these reasons.
CDX plywood is produced by gluing together sheets of veneer, with each layer being glued the opposite grain to the one below it. The result is a wooden sheet that is proportionally as strong as steel, without the weight that comes along with concrete or steel. Because of this strength, CDX plywood is the most popular choice for interior flooring; CDX plywood will stand up to many years of use and abuse without warping or breaking.
OSD plywood (which is also commonly known as OSB or oriented strand board) is produced by binding wood chips together with a mix of glue and resin. The mixture is then cast and baked to produce a plywood-like sheet. Because OSD does not use costly veneers it is as much as half the price of regular plywood. OSD also tends to have better waterproof characteristics, since the glue and resin make the wood chips impervious to moisture that can seep in between the plies of standard plywood. This means that OSD is the perfect choice for applications such as exterior wall sheathing and roofing.
The differences between the two plywood board types CDX plywood is classified as an "exposure" type of sheathing rather than an "exterior." This means that CDX plywood should only be used inside or on surfaces that will not be exposed to water once the building process is complete. Because of its chemical properties, however, OSD is perfect for exterior applications. Another difference between the two plywood board types is appearance: if you are looking for a wood grain, choose CDX, since OSD plywood is generally flat on one side and rough on the other. A good builder can save money by using both OSD and CDX plywood.
AC plywood is the top grade of standard pine or fir plywoods. One side has been sanded so that it is left smooth, and the other remains rough. It is not unusual to find what are called "footballs", or plugs in the smooth side. These footballs are inserted where knots used to be.
AC is sometimes used as the layer directly underneath flooring as well. It is also often used for projects that require a smooth outside, but don't need a finished back, as with desktops or bookcase backs.

People Who Are Always Going On About How They Need Coffee Aren't Just Annoying, They're Sick
"Despite the American Medical Association's declaration that the moderate intake of caffeine is not harmful, new research suggests that some people have serious withdrawal symptoms that may be dangerous. Caffeine is such an ingrained institution that most people make jokes about being dependent on a favorite caffeinated beverage to make their day whole. A new study, however, suggests more people are dependent on caffeine to the point that they suffer withdrawal symptoms and are unable to reduce caffeine consumption even if they have another condition that may be impacted by caffeine–such as a pregnancy, a heart condition, or a bleeding disorder. These symptoms combined are a condition called 'Caffeine Use Disorder,' said coauthor Laura Juliano, Ph.D., a psychology professor at American University in Washington, D.C."

So what? It just means you have to choose between coffee and having children (or coffee and not having a heart attack, or coffee and not haemorrhaging; whatever). Focus, people.

FBOs tout Shell loyalty card
Sixteen FBOs are joined together at the Eastern Aviation Fuels NBAA exhibit this year (Booth No. 6403) and all are participating in the new Shell Aviation AeroClass loyalty program. Eastern Aviation Fuels markets Shell-branded aviation fuels throughout the U.S.<o:p></o:p>
At its NBAA booth, Eastern is enrolling members in the AeroClass program and giving them a sealed envelope that they can bring to a participating FBO. The customer service representative at the FBO has to open the envelope to reveal prizes that the new AeroClass member could receive, which may include up to 10,000 bonus points.
Eastern also is giving a flight plan card to all booth visitors, which needs to be validated by 12 of the 16 Shell dealer FBOs at the show. A grand prize drawing will be held for those who submit filled-out flight plan cards. Prizes include a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
The AeroClass program has two membership plans, one for individuals and one for companies. Corporate memberships may be combined so points from multiple cards can accumulate and be traded for MasterCard gift cards. Points are granted at the rate of one per gallon purchased at Shell FBOs. Once 1,000 points have been accumulated, they can be traded for a $10 MasterCard gift card.
Eastern Aviation Fuels serves more than 350 FBOs and airlines, flight departments, helicopter operators and aerial applicators.

Hilary Duff promotes 'Blessings in a Backpack' at Jenner Elementary
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter email@example.com March 23, 2011 1:42PM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
A great squealing clamor almost without end filled the gymnasium as actress/singer Hilary Duff — promoting a program that provides food for needy kids — paid a visit to Edward Jenner Elementary Academy of the Arts on the Near North Side Wednesday morning.
Among those dying to meet Duff was 9-year-old Daniel Hill, who said he'd like to marry her — perhaps not realizing she's already taken.
"She's a nice woman, and perfect," said Hill, who is in the third grade. "She doesn't curse."
A lot of other folks at Jenner think Duff is "nice" too. She volunteers her time for "Blessings in a Backpack," which provides a sack of food for low-income students when then go home each weekend during the school year. The program — headquartered in Louisville, Ky. — serves some 37,600 kids in 216 schools in the United States, Canada, Colombia and Haiti. Students at five schools in Chicago participate in the program.
Duff — sauntering into the gym on four-inch-high heels — spent part of her morning shoving boxes of mac and cheese, apple sauce and other goodies into bags for needy kids. She scribbled her signature on dozens of scraps of paper thrust toward her, gave an equal number of hugs and generally delighted the 200 or so kids who got to meet her.
"I know some of you know me from the movies and from some of my music," Duff told the crowd. "I wanted to let you know that I was just like you, going to school. I had a dream: I wanted to act and I wanted to sing. I worked really hard and made it happen, and you guys can do the same thing."
Approximately 150 Jenner kids — many of them homeless — benefit from the program, said the school's principal, Zelma Woodson.
"It's gotten to the point where if [the food] isn't passed out or if we might let it slip our minds a little bit, before the end of the day [the kids] are going to come looking for their blessings," Woodson said.
Duff said that while it's important to remember needy kids around the world, those in the U.S. shouldn't be forgotten.
"Obviously most people think about feeding people in Africa, and I think that's really important, too, but I don't know how we can continue to help people if we don't fix our problems here," Duff said.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Guitarist Is 'Fascinated' By METALLICA's Decision To Release 'Lulu' - Jan. 16, 2012
Greece's Rockpages recently conducted an interview with guitarist Jason Hook of Las Vegas metallers FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH. An excerpt from the chat follows below.
Rockpages: Metal bands that attract what we call "mainstream" are often doomed by hardcore metal fans.
Hook: To have a broad audience is a good thing. I love metal but I also like to sing along to songs. If you look at METALLICA, they aren't that heavy relative to what's out there these days... James [Hetfield, METALLICA frontman] is pretty much singing all the way through the songs and they're catchy songs. The "black" album was mainstream and probably turned off some of their hardcore fans but it sold 20 million copies and changed the future of that band forever.
Rockpages: Talking about METALLICA who recently collaborated with Lou Reed, I'd like to ask you what you thought about that. It was something that caused various reactions. Some liked it, others hated it. What about you, what do you think of "Lulu"?
Hook: I played it for the [other] guys [in the band] and we were all speechless. I'm fascinated with [METALLICA's] decision to release something like that. Brave, to say the least.

good boot, good price

Boots are great and lightweight, boots run a little small though, I need a half a size bigger than what i got. They are great.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Great Boots!
November 29, 2013
This boot fits true to size and feels like a running shoe! I work 12 hour shifts and I am on my feet most of the shift and they are very comfortable. I have not had sore, tired feet or any lower back or knee pain while wearing these boots. I have no regret buying this boot. I have had 5.11, Thorogood, Tactical Research, Rocky, Magnums, New Balance, Ridge Tac, Altama and several others. Haix is by far a more comfortable boot all around.
Pros:Light, feels like a running shoe, look great, very comfortable, leather is soft and pliable
Cons:A bit pricey, a zipper would be nice

Aarons Rents - Expensive lawnmower

We purchased a brand new riding lawnmower even after renting one from another Aaron's store.Both times the mower cut terribly uneven.
The first store did send me monthly statements and "serviced" the mower twice trying to fix the problem. The second delivered the brand new mower and sent a store manager to our home with a lengthy contract for us to sign. When I contacted the store about my statement or even to inquire about how much my paymt was, I was informed I was 3 days late and had to pay that day "or else". I told them I was making my paymt on Friday, 3 days later, but it wasn't good enough for the man on the phone.
I told them not only did it chop up my yard but I had to air the front tires before using it.
My husband called them and told them to come get it.Now I have a bill for $800 and the fine print on the contract states that by the time I paid the 24 months, I would have paid $3400 plus for this BOBO mower.b01dc0f

Hey to the person who said you don't read contracts. This company is ruthless. Our tv was stolen and they said" It sounds like an inside job, you still owe for it. " Even with a police report. Only after calling the district manager did they take it off the account. They said I still owed, even if it was stolen. I told them they had insurance on their item - as I did not own it outright yet and could not get insurance on a rental. Oh well, live and learn I guess.0 0 Reply

HB 5 - A revised HB 5 substitute bill (subHB5) was introduced during a press conference on October 23, 2013 by Ohio lawmakers. The House Ways and Means Committee voted on November 6, 2013 to pass subHB5 out of committee, over continued concerns from municipalities. It then went to the House floor for a vote. Concerns from municipalities were again voiced to–and subsequently ignored by–the members of the House, who passed the bill (56-41). The bill was introduced to the Senate Finance Committee on November 19, 2013, and sponsor testimony was heard on May 27, 2014. Proponent testimony was heard on June 3, 2014. Click here for more information on where subHB5 can go next on its path towards the Governor's signature, and click here for a status update on where the bill stands with the Senate (as of June 3, 2014).
SB 282 – Another bill has been introduced that, if passed, will restrict the ability of Ohio municipalities to provide vital services to its residents and resident businesses. SB 282 seeks to prohibit municipal corporations from levying an income tax on nonresidents' compensation for personal services or net profits from a sole proprietorship. A report on the bill from the Ohio Municipal League is linked here. More information to follow as it becomes available.
HB 483 – UPDATE: The municipal income tax provision that would have forced municipalities to report income received from residents versus income received from non-residents was deleted by the appointed Conference Committee. Click here for more information.
The key to stopping subHB5–and bills like it–from gutting the revenue of Ohio's municipalities is communication, and time is of the essence. Click here to locate your district's Senator, and send them an email informing them of the negative impact subHB5 and others will have on your community!
We will keep you updated on any developments as news becomes available.
The House Bill 5 substitute bill will hurt cities because:
A municipal income tax system in Ohio that's reasonable and simple is possible and attainable with the proper legislation. Join us in helping municipalities around Ohio oppose subHB5 and convince lawmakers to do what's best for all of Ohio by demanding true uniformity in Ohio municipal income tax.

MKS Announces MKS Integrity Suite 2005 for Enterprise Software Change Management
Waterloo, ON – February 1, 2005: MKS Inc. (MKS) (TSX:MKX) announced today a significant new release of its enterprise software change management system aimed at increasing efficiency and management visibility over global development teams and the application lifecycle process. The MKS Integrity Suite™ 2005 adds integrated requirements management, a management dashboard for management decision support, and flexible e-Signature support for regulated environments. MKS brings full lifecycle coverage into a single solution, single architecture, and single interface – rather than via a suite of disparate, acquired tools.
Waterloo, ON – February 1, 2005: MKS Inc. (MKS) (TSX:MKX) announced today a significant new release of its enterprise software change management system aimed at increasing efficiency and management visibility over global development teams and the application lifecycle process. The MKS Integrity Suite™ 2005 adds integrated requirements management, a management dashboard for management decision support, and flexible e-Signature support for regulated environments. MKS brings full lifecycle coverage into a single solution, single architecture, and single interface – rather than via a suite of disparate, acquired tools.
Integrated Requirements Management – MKS Requirements 2005
MKS has built requirements management on the foundation of MKS Integrity Manager®, making requirements management an initial stage of the development process. Business analysts and developers benefit from a real time flow of information and collaborate via a single product and common process. This single solution approach helps lower training costs, administrative overhead and time to deployment, and encourages constant communication flow – particularly important for development shops using Agile and other iterative development methodologies.
Dashboard for Improved Management Decision Support
MKS's new configurable dashboard delivers instant visibility into software development activity occurring around the globe. Charts, reports and metrics with drill down capability into the details, enable full traceability from initial requirements through to line of code changes. Managers can monitor vital information such as defect trend rates, status of assigned tasks and work effort across distributed, iSeries and mainframe platforms. Information is relayed to the dashboard in real time as development staff conduct their day-to-day activities.
e-Signature Support and Server Side Audit Logging for Regulated Industries
New e-Signature support aids compliance with regulations such as FDA 21-CFR Part 11 and Sarbanes-Oxley. Server side audit logging via the MKS Integrity Server captures and preserves an audit trail of any modification of data.
Advanced Refactoring and Component Re-Use
MKS's refactoring support enables developers to restructure rather than rewrite code for greater development efficiency and productivity by allowing users to move and rename source files and move and share components. MKS is one of the first SCM vendors to align with latest IDE advancements, such as the Eclipse Refactoring Wizard.
Single Solution, Single Architecture
The single architecture underlying MKS Integrity Suite 2005 brings process and workflow, software configuration management and requirements management together into a single, configurable interface. Users adjust panes on the screen to view information relevant to their role.
Union Bank of California, one of the largest commercial banks in California and a long time MKS customer, notes, "Communication between business units and development groups has improved, and we have established an increased level of audit control having standardized on the MKS Integrity Solution," says Mike Knott, Systems Specialist, Union Bank of California. "The upcoming release of MKS Integrity Suite 2005 delivers several key capabilities that map well to our business needs, in particular, the addition of requirements management and new dashboard capabilities, which provide better overall visibility, control and management decision support. MKS's single solution, single architecture approach will enable UBOC to further gain an increased level of control over the complete application lifecycle process."

My Lady Tereysa and I look forward to seeing everybody at fighter practices on Sundays. I can assure everyone that the same standards for fighter practice will continue and hopefully we shall have some new toys to play with, in the form of new comers. Thus far we have had several to come out and put on the loner gear. My thanks go out to Mistress Stella, HL Thomas, HL Louie, and HL Daire, who have taken the time to show these new people the basics and not scare them away, after all we don't want to break our new toys. I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that Gulf Wars is just around the corner and I'm sure that if we looked we could find some rust on the old armor that could use to be worked off. We will be having two more joint practices before the Wars. The next one will be in our back yard on the 5th of February, watch for the posting because there may be a time change, as of right now it will be at 14:00 (2:00pm). The last joint practice will be held in the Stepps back yard at maryhead park in carolton, but wait there's more. This practice will include combat archers, and as it sits right now the time will be at 12:00 noon. It would be nice to let His Majesty Abd-al Mahdi Jamal ibn Hakim know what kind of support he can count on for Gulf War, I know I'll be there and not just because I have too. Hope to see you all there.
