Crabby Girlz 'Scopes of the Week
Looks to be a good week for that long winter's nap. Tylenol PM is your best friend. Your chaser is your choice.
Taurus [April 20-May 20]
Keep your friends close and your enemies close enough to piss off.
Gemini [May 21-June 20]
The lights are on, but nobody's home. So go ahead, jimmy the lock and drink from their liquor cabinet.
Cancer [June 21-July 22]
Relax this week. Put your feet up – but not in a compromising position.
Leo [July 23-Aug 22]
Keep your eye on the prize. And, when no one's looking, put your hands all over it.
Virgo [Aug 23-Sept 22]
Someone's been looking down their nose at you. Turn yours up at them.
Libra [Sept 23-Oct 22]
Put your best foot forward this week. Good excuse for a pedicure, eh?
Scorpio [Oct 23-Nov 21]
Chill with a acquaintance. Know that they won't warm up to you if you act cold.
Sagittarius [Nov 22-Dec 21]
You're the apple of someone's eye. Too bad he's such a worm.

Is this game going to be free of charge?
Not likely. It is the "follow-up" to Michael Vaughan's Cricket Manager which was released in the shops. The plan for Glenn's game, WCM, was also to be released commercially so I'm guessing that it will have a price tag.
I presume that with Glenn now working on Cricket Coach, World Cricket Manager has hit the trash can.

I think that's about it. From what I knew of it CC had the better code but WCM the better look, so they've probably stuck with Oli's base code but stuck some of Glenn's good stuff in the cracks.Originally Posted by age_master
I'm sure we'll be analyzing the merger more closely on TMS in the coming week.

Cm2 97/98 still had the 7 boxes filling the screen
but yes, it does look a bit like a primitive CM3, if its half as good ill definately buy it
well, cm3 was a good game. so hopefully this one will be good to
MVCM Was a good game, now it's time to expand international boundries and go to new country teams, also, the new rating system is yet to be adapted, Would likr to see the cricinfo ratings

Everything Old is New Again
11 comments:
I'm glad you are back to blogging. Your blog has been one of my favorites! I am excited to see more of your Emperor's Children as well as seeing these battle reports.
Drawing from the old Rogue Trader-era white dwarfs and supplement I can not wait to see what aliens and scenarios you come up with. This will be a fun journey!Mate; those models are awesome! I love the paint job; do you mind sharing what paints you used as I really love the whole effect.
When you play your HH games will you be using 6th Ed rules + FW Supplement or will you be going true retro and using RT rules.
It's interesting you talk about the Heresy's origins from the beginning as I was just thinking about this the other day. I was going through my first edition copy of space marine (how I mourn the loss of Epic) and it is amazing in the fluff how many characters that are still mentioned today actually emerged back then...though not necessarily in the same roles or even chapters/legions.
I love these new models from FW as they really capture the essence of the old days with a suitably modern slant; however you are right; they are quite expensive!
I'm doing a Rogue Trader Salamanders army at the moment on my blog :
But seeing your inspiring efforts has encouraged me to start an HH army too!!!Thanks for your kind words!
The paint is a wash over a gunmetal base, followed by lots of silver dabbed at the edges with a bit of blister foam. The predator is a mix of Windsor and Newton red and blue ink, while the robot is Citadel Carroberg crimson.
Rules wise, we play first, some second and I play sixth, but for me the rules being played are far less of a concern than the poeple and the toy soldiers I'm playing alongside :-)
All the best, Andy

I tried to repair the file system and found no errors. Also, I purchased a different cloning kit from Apricorn (SATA ONLY) and Clonezilla got a little farther along this tine. This time it found the Linux partition sdc5 on the destination drive and failed just before completing the copy. I then used the software that came with the cloning kit "EZ GIG IV." It copied all the partitions with a sector by sector copy; but both the Windows & Ubuntu partitions reported drive errors such as not finding the drive, drive not ready, and the TMP folder not found. I'm also getting drive not ready errors intermitantly on the source drive, but only in Ubuntu, not Windows.
What can I do next?
Thanks Hannibal

Savage's Yard, King's Lynn, Norfolk
- Object:
- Place of origin:
King's Lynn (made)
- Date:
1942 (Painted)
- Artist/Maker:
Jones, Barbara, born 1912 - died 1978 (painter (artist))
- Materials and Techniques:
Watercolour painting on paper
- Credit Line:
Given by the Pilgrim Trust
- Museum number:
- Gallery location:
Prints & Drawings Study Room, level D, case RB, shelf 40
In the late 19th century, King's Lynn in Norfolk was a major centre of the manufacture of merry-go-rounds and other fairground attractions. Savage's Yard was the headquarters of the trade, developing and building magnificent steam-powered merry-go-rounds and fairground organs. By the time Barbara Jones painted this desolate scene, however, the traditional fairground had been superseded by more sophisticated amusements.
The brightly-painted horse in the centre of picture would have been placed in the inner circle of a merry-go-round; horses in the outer circle were elaborately carved as well as painted. The two male figures in eighteenth-century dress perched on the organ are automata who would strike bells or drums in time to the organ's music.

Let's figure out a way to get more action in here for Cadillac XLR owners. This is the busiest Cadillac website online with the exception of Cadillac.com.. It's a crime that we don't have a busy XLR section...
Let's figure out a way to get more action in here for Cadillac XLR owners. This is the busiest Cadillac website online with the exception of Cadillac.com.. It's a crime that we don't have a busy XLR section...
Most of the XLR owners and wantabes are on the 2 XLR only sites. I happen to own several different Cadillacs so I belong to this Site also. Doug-J
I think a big part of the problem you describe is due in large part to the smaller owner base to cater to. This site has
always been weak when it comes to owners submitting threads describing cause and effect. Without access to a Tech 2, even simple issues become problematic and require an experienced dealer's tech to diagnose. The XLR isn't much of a DIY car when it comes to problems.
Beefing up the XLR-related info on a FAQ or something similar couldn't hurt; there simply isn't any appreciable source material here to make it a serious, go-to site for XLR owners. Yet.
--Now, the CTS-V . . . this site rocks! It's THE place to learn about the vehicle and interact with lots of savy owners. I read every single post prior to buying my CTS-V and there wasn't a salesman at the dealership who could come close to helping me the way this site did.
23 pages containing 575 threads spanning eight years is a pretty good indicator there's a problem. Without buffing this site's XLR content up, it's likely to stay slow indefinately. The CTS-V section adds this much content in a month!
Owners will find the sites that have the info they seek. Post it and they will come, because you're right --this is a heavily-hit Cadillac owners site, and it's a shame the XLR section doesn't reflect that.
Just my .02
I do my best to keep the site going, but i have noticed lately, no one is saying anything. You can see where many people have looked at the site, but have made no comments.
I have tried to find anyone in southern calif. To even get together. I have stopped at gas stations, when i see one and tried to get something going, but they just seem to be people who bought them to drive like a standard car and had no interest in clubs or repairs. Most were beat up enough, i would not want them.
I do appreciate the help i have received on this site, but fortunate for me i am under warranty. Mine has been in the dealership one week per month, since i have owned it.
In the last 6 months i have had replaced a water pump, horns, rh and lh of dash push buttons, power steering pump, rear spring, the transmission rebuilt, gas tank replaced, top cuts repainted due to poor adjustment of trunk, new lower grille, all under fender liners were cracked, aerial dropping out, bad oxygen sensor, now my traction control light is on.
I still love my baby. I never drive it in the rain and it is polished every day before it leaves the garage. I have owned a lot of fine cars, but i have never owned one that gets the attention that this one gets when i am driving it.
I guess we could start with renaming this forum. There were no XLRs built in 2010. :hide:
I agree with DTS Diamond, most of the XLR folks are over there on the XLR-only sites.
But I do foresee a great opportunity coming in the next year or two. Seeing as the used car market is about to see an influx of these vehicles (i.e., warranties expiring), I believe a lot of younger buyers are going to start showing up (its already starting). Modifications like Stiegemeier's Snake Bite, Spectre's Intake (coming soon, hopefully), and D3's headers will increase the DIY modders in this younger demographic. And don't forget, all the things alarmu12 mentioned he had done at the dealer, these folks will want to try to fix themselves.
You just need a hook. Right now I'd say the environment here is your best asset. A little more playful, fun-loving, openness. But ya gotta get'em here. Expertise like CCClarke helps, but like he said adding XLR-specific source material would help.
I got it -the one thing no one has done that you could is to promote the similarities of the XLR-V and the STS-V drivetrains. There are lots of mods and info flowing throughout the STS-V forum here - that's how I found out about the Snake Bite. Somehow tie the two together and there's your hook! Are there like similarities between the base models?
Okay, so I updated the name of the forum. Thank you! And I agree that we could use some XLR-specific information - maybe as stickies.. But what type of information is needed? Year to year difference? Specifications? And in regards to an influx of younger people looking to buy XLRs out of warranty - that sounds really good. If we can have what they need here before they start researching on Google (for example), that would help out quite a bit. I think the "information" is the way to go. I just don't know where to begin...
Newbie here. I am on the other boards, but what the hell. I am also into the old 500 big blocks as well so it's a start.
welcome aboard Adrian!
I have a 2007 XLR would like to join a club but cant find anything. How do i start? Im in Sacramento and it would be nice to find something local.
I have just purchased a 2006 XLR-V and am still searching out the sites to find information on the car. Reading the other sites that I have found has let me know that these cars are in a class by themselves. Being a motor head does not even help with these complex cars.. Any tech. info or a good question-answer page would help. Beautiful car
Yep, you are so right...NOW all I do is look for the best polish to make my baby shine...AND I can hear the radio now, not like my AC...
I think you hit the nail on the head. As these cars have got older, the warranties have expired, and they've depreciated significantly. This creates a shift in the age demographics that now own the car. Not a lot of people can afford a $80,000+ vehicle and the result is an older age crowd that doesn't want to be out turning wrenches on their new pride and joy (not saying everyone, but speaking in 'general' terms). Now, we're 7 years later (and the last year most banks are willing to finance an 04) and you can pick up an XLR for $20,000+ it opens up the buyer's market to a different age demographic. Since the warranties are expired/expiring, we can't just take the car to the dealer, have the problem fixed, and have everything covered for free under that lovely warranty. Since it cost quite a bit to have anything done at the dealership, you're going to see people trying to figure out how to do it themselves. In return, people going through some trial and errors will provide great resource of first hand experience. In addition, I think you'll see more people trying to get some more ponies out of this little 289 cu in. motor since we're not concerned with voiding the warranty. I know I would have appreciated a nice LS2, LS3, or LS7 N/A motor. I think cadillac did well with the V series, but having a LS-based motor supercharged would have been killer. But, we'll still figure out how to make some power out of the 4.6L. The Ford guys have figured it out. I'm sure there's quite a bit that can be gained from having a tuner play around for a bit and tune the car. I actually fit this profile pretty well.. I'm a gearhead that owns a 2001 Pontiac Trans Am. It's a drag car that's street legal. I'm 29 and bought the car for my wife who's 27. Instead of having the dealer turn the rear rotors and put on new pads for $289, I bought all new drilled/slotted rotors and pads off eBay for $205 and I'll throw my buddy a few bucks to slap them on at his "side-job" shop. One of the first things I was researching was new intakes. There's a good 10 hp and 1/2 - 1 mpg increase and I would bet even more coupled with a new tune. Again, not concerned with voiding any warranties. As we start our ventures, we'll be needing expert advise from guys like you all that have owned these cars since the beginning. We definitely need the XLR specific information.
LORD CADILLAC: You mentioned the XLR information was the way to go, but didn't know where to start... As a new XLR owner, this is the type of information I was looking for:
How many of my car were made? So, straight facts on production numbers would be a key. How many of each year, each color offered, each interior/exterior combo, etc.
04-05 XLR owners will want to know everything there is about the Headlight issue.
A list of every recall that was issued on each year
What are the common failure/problematic issues. What are tips of maintenance to help avoid any further issues.
What similarities does the XLR have with other vehs? We know it shares the same platform as the C6, but let's get specific. What exactly is the same and what appears to be but is not? What parts are interchangeable?
What are the tricks of the trade with this car? Meaning... hold this button and that button at the same time for 10 seconds and (x) will be reset.
What does XLR even stand for? (Is it.. eXperimental Luxury Roadster?)
What bolt pattern and offset are needed for aftermarket rims? How big of a rim can you go? How wide? How big of a tire can you stuff out back?
Horsepower... tell me how I can make more! What other options do we have other than D3 Performance? Do they own the market? What are all the basic bolt-on options? Who can tune these cars?
Because Cadillac sold four of them, maybe five.

I love the Forza games, and I haven't really played other racing games since I first played Forza Motorsport 3. In FM3 and FM4 I play with simulation damage, but in this game, since the damage is purely cosmetic and doesn't affect gameplay, I turn it off. To me, this seems counter-intuitive to the way someone would normally play these games, in which you wouldn't mind damage that was cosmetic but would mind damage that affects your driving. My thought process is that if it doesn't matter, I'd rather my car look good, anybody else think like this?
I noticed something about the way I play these games with damage.
Yeah I agree, I only used simulation damage in the other Forza games, mainly for the boost in money. Since if I ever crashed I was probably going to restart anyway cause I'd have lost that race.
I turned cosmetic off because yeah it looks dirty as hell and I want clean cars. It's affected my driving though, I definitely play it more like bumper cars than normal Forza titles.
I've left the damage on while playing Horizon, but I agree that there's not much of an incentive to drive cleanly. The thing I'm more bummed about is how much worse the net code and collision detection are compared to Forza 4.
Although it is pretty great the way your rear bumper just hits some explosive eject button every time you tap a guardrail with the back of your car.

Existing Oracle and BEA Systems Inc. middleware customers stand to benefit most from Oracle's planned acquisition of BEA, while new middleware buyers may soon have a confusing decision to make, according to one IT industry analyst.
While the merger looks good for existing customers, said Dennis Gaughan, research director at Boston-based AMR Research Inc., companies mulling a new middleware investment in either Oracle or BEA may find themselves navigating a maze of product overlap and partially finished integration efforts.

Five-Star Quality Rating
The Medicare system turns 45 years old this year. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) began rating the nation's 15,000+ nursing homes in December 2008. The goal was to create a standard for the evaluation of Nursing Homes. A 5-Star Rating system was developed to simplify, organize and compare nursing care providers.
"Our goal in developing this unprecedented quality rating system is to provide families a straightforward assessment of nursing home quality, with meaningful distinctions between high and low performing homes," said CMS Acting Administrator Kerry Weems. "The new information will also help consumers and families identify important questions to ask nursing homes and challenge nursing homes to improve their quality of care."
Under the 5-Star Rating system, nursing care communities are rated on three sets of information:
1. Health Inspections
Federal and State governments regulate any nursing care community that accepts Medicare and/or Medicaid. Communities are given an annual survey by the state, on average, every 12 - 15 months. State surveyors also investigate complaints from staff, residents or families. The surveyors review and evaluate the community based on over 180 items. These items include a wide range of standards from adherence to residents' rights to protecting residents from physical and mental abuse, to food preparation and storage. The health inspection portion of the rating system is based on the last three years of surveys, including both the annual and complaint surveys. The most recent year's surveys are weighted more heavily than the previous two years.
2. Staffing
Staffing is often considered the key criteria for evaluating quality of care. If a care community is understaffed, residents do not receive quality care. The staffing rating has information about the number of hours of care on average that is provided to each resident each day by nursing staff. This is broken down in to an overall average, in addition to the type of caregiver (Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, Licensed Vocational Nurse, and Certified Nurse Aide). This rating system factors in the differences in needs of residents and their medical conditions. A nursing home with more complex illnesses would be expected to have higher staffing than those will less serious conditions.
3. Quality Measures
In this area of the rating, CMS looks at 10 different measures for nursing care community residents. These measures are both physical and clinical indicators of how well a resident is being cared for by the community. Some examples include looking to see if there has been decrease in residents' mobility or an increase in residents' pain. It also looks at the prevalence of pressure sores among residents.
How Ratings Are Calculated
CMS uses a three-step formula to decide how many stars a nursing home should receive as an overall rating of its quality of care.
Step 1 - A nursing home is first assigned a number of stars (1 through 5) according to information from health inspections of the home over three years. This number is the base rating.
Step 2 - Stars are added or deducted according to the home's staff rating, which is based on the average number of hours of care per day residents receive. If the home's staff rating is 4 or 5 stars, one star is added to the base rating. If staff rating is only one star, then one star is subtracted from the base rating. If staff rating is 2 or 3 stars, the base rating remains the same.
Step 3 - Stars are added or subtracted according to how well or poorly the home scores on 10 key quality measures (QM). If its QM rating is 5 stars, one star is added to the rating derived from steps 1 and 2. If the QM rating is only one star, then one star is subtracted from this rating. If the QM measure is 2, 3 or 4 stars, the rating remains the same.
Strengths and Limitations of the Five-Star Ratings
As with any rating system, there are strengths and weaknesses of the review system. The strengths and limitations below are taken from the government's www.medicare.gov website.
Health Inspection Results
Strengths:- Comprehensive: The nursing home health inspection process looks at all major aspects of care in a nursing home (about 180 different items).
- Onsite Visits by Trained Inspectors: It is the only source of information that comes from a trained team of objective surveyors who visit each nursing home to check on the quality of care, inspect medical records, and talk with residents about their care.
- Federal Quality Checks: Federal surveyors check on the state surveyors' work to make sure they are following the national process and that any differences between states stay within reasonable bounds.
- Variation between States: There are some differences in how different states carry out the inspection process, even though the standards are the same across the country.
- Medicaid Program Differences: There are also differences in state licensing requirements that affect quality, and in state Medicaid programs that pay for much of the care in nursing homes.
Strengths:- Overall Staffing: The quality ratings look at the overall number of staff compared to the number of residents and how many of the staff are trained nurses.
- Adjusted for the Population: The ratings consider differences in how sick the nursing home residents are in each nursing home, since that will make a difference in how many staff is needed.
- Self-Reported: The staffing data are self-reported by the nursing home, rather than collected and reported by an independent agency.
- Snap-Shot in Time: Staffing data are reported just once a year and reflect staffing over a 2-week period of time.
Quality Measures
Strengths:- In-Depth Look: The quality measures provide an important in-depth look at how well each nursing home performs on ten important aspects of care. For example, these measures show how well the nursing home helps people keep their ability to dress and eat, or how well the nursing home prevents and treats skin ulcers.
- National Measures: The ten quality measures we use in the Five-Star rating are used in all nursing homes.
- Self-Reported Data: The quality measures are self-reported by the nursing home, rather than collected and reported by an independent agency.
- Just a Few Aspects of Care: The quality measures represent only a few of the many aspects of care that may be important to you.
The 5-Star Rating system is not meant to be a family's sole method of selecting a nursing care community. CMS does caution that this information should be used in conjunction with personal visits and research

A colleague told us that Petit Provence has just opened a new branch in West Coast Plaza and asked us all to have lunch at WCP because he wants to buy some bread here. So we all had lunch and visited the bread shop with him.
This branch is the 3 branch of this Japanese Bakery that's very popular in Holland Village. (Heard this branch's the first franchised shop)
A few of us bought some bread.
I got some cream wassants for my sis who loves the wassants here.
A tad expensive at 60 cents each, but you only eat them once in a while. :-)
They are so soft and delicious.

My home page was designed to keep my self current with what has been going on in my life. "smile" I have found that keeping it current also keeps me current with friends I have made around the country and even some people I have met on the trips to Europe. I have always had hobbies since my childhood. I started collecting butterflys and fossils until my dad found an arrowhead and brought it home. Antiques always have had a place in my life since my dad collected them, refurbished some of them and sold them. I guess my passions lie with history, that is why my love of antiques, there aren't any more. Anyway, this is a good place to link to my hobbies and to the photo albums of my trips.
PHOTOS of the 2011 Kansas Relays can be found on my albums. If you don't have the link to the albums, if can be found below. However, the link to the photos of the relays can also be found on my Link page.
PHOTOS of the 55th High School class reunion can also be found on my albums. Check my Link page, and there will be a link to the pictures. Also below is the link to my photo album on google. Either way will get you to the site the pictures are located.
The Reunion was held in Topeka, Kansas September 12th and 13th. I didn't know how many people could actually make the trip back to Topeka but was pleased at just how many did. A number of events were planned including having the class honored at the Friday night football game. It was fun, especially for me to go back to the old football stadium I had played in while in school. We had a sit down dinner Saturday night at the Holiday Inn which was a change from years past. We usually have a buffet dinner but it was much nicer being served. There was a Sunday brunch planned at Lake Shawnee in Topeka. The shelter it was held in is located in a beautiful spot surrounded by a park and flower gardens. Anyway, it was a very enjoyable reunion which all that came seemed to truely enjoy. It is always nice to be around old friends from the past whom you enjoy a history with. Plans are being discussed about the 60th reunion planned in five years.

NEW Some of the problems of having a home page is keeping it up to date with additions and interesting items. However, one can only find so much that is interesting and new without trying to do something a little different. For this reason I have added a new "FUN PAGE". There will be nothing redeeming about what is presented here but a place for me to have a little fun. This will also give me the opportunity to up date my site without waiting for something more interesting to happen. No new pages in 2012 but am thinking about adding more concerning arrowhead hunting in Kansas. I haven't found any new sites for awhile but think I may have something to explore this coming spring. The Big Walnut river runs through Kansas close to Wichita and has water in it all year, no matter what the rain provides in the summer. I know there are indian camps all over the area where the big and little walnut runs. I think I found areas that have been planted in corn that in the spring will be available to see the ground. Anyway, if I find anything new, it will be on the web page.

You can put on a show, you can be in a show, or you can steal a show. And this week, before the big show – the semi-final bout – we saw glimpses of all of these aspects of drama in what was one of the better episodes this season.
This week featured the long-awaited rematch between Matt Serra and Shonie Carter. We'd see who would win the final welterweight semi-final bout and qualify for the November 11 finale.
But first, guest trainer Matt Hughes was trying to put on a production of his own, starring Matt Serra and Marc Laimon. Playing on the bad blood between Matt and Marc, Matt Hughes tried to instigate a grappling match between the two jiu-jitsu experts.
Matt admitted his plan to the camera. "Well I was trying to stir the pot a bit. I knew Serra was a Gracie jiu-jitsu guy, and Laimon's not a Gracie fan at all."
"You're not dodging him, are you?" asked Matt Hughes of Matt Serra.
"What are you getting at, Hughes?" replied Serra.
"I'd just like to see you guys roll," revealed Hughes.
Motivation established by the director, the tension in the scene mounted as Marc Laimon praised Matt Hughes for his "utter decimation of Royce Gracie." And then, the show was on.
Matt needed to respond to the provocative statement.
"A guy on a bar stool, or a guy behind a keyboard I can understand," said Matt. "You know why? Because they never fought." He elaborated further. "You should have a little more respect for the guy because he gets in there and puts it on the line."
"Fighting's not for everybody," said Marc coolly.
"It's all safe where you're sitting," said Matt. "You're like an expert swimmer who never got in a pool."
Scintillating dialogue. Cut to the interior of the Ultimate Fighter house, upstairs bedroom, where Shonie is in the midst of some spray-painting madness that's creating fumes that are choking out his housemates.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the living room, Jorge Rivera and Rich Clementi are plotting out another scene.
Jorge would be in charge of costuming details: "I'm getting Bozo shoes, Bozo hair, Bozo nose."
Rich Clementi drew out the themes of their little scene: "Let's let him see how he's perceived," said Rich. "And that's how the Phony Carter show has been created."
"Shonie's a clown," added Jorge. "And we're going to let people see how Shonie Carter's viewed in our world."
And so it was conceived, and so it was done. Cut to Jorge at the UFC training center wearing a rainbow Afro wig, clown shoes, a clown nose, and oh yes, a red Speedo-style bathing suit. Meet Phony Carter.
The scene also co-starred Mark DellaGrotte as the fight announcer, Din Thomas as the color commentator, with cameo appearances by Mikey Burnett as Mikey "The Terror" Serra, in a jiu-jitsu uniform, and Charles McCarthy as the referee, all re-enacting a famous Octagon encounter.
In the scene, Phony Carter executes a devastating spinning backfist, which sends poor Mikey "The Terror" to the canvas, and prompts a swaying of Phony's bathing suit-clad hips in a dance of celebration. Enough said. End of scene.
Cut to the UFC training center on fight day.
Six years later… in a training center far, far away, a rematch off rivals takes place.
The rematch pits our hero, Matt "The Terror" Serra, who's desperately trying to turn off, once and for all, the nightmarish highlight reel of a spinning backfist striking him square in the jaw, against Shonie "Mr. International" Carter, the said perpetrator of the backfist who has plans of his own, most likely having to do with getting his own spin-off series.
Round one Matt dominates right from the start, then Shonie gets a huge takedown, then Matt gets a takedown, the fighters struggle with Matt mostly coming out on top, but with 30 seconds left in the round, wait… could it be? You guessed it, a spinning backfist comes out of nowhere, connects with Matt's face, and stuns him. Matt's shaky for a moment, but he doesn't go down. Shonie can only manage another takedown before the horn sounds. He couldn't knock Matt out. Shonie stole the round, but he didn't win the fight.
What Matt feared most showed up in the very first, and he survived. Our hero, tentative about his performance as he talks to his corner men, is now filled with courage.
He comes out for the second round and clearly dominates his opponent. Same in the third. Although Shonie put on a strong performance of his own, in the end, only one man can go to the show, and that would be Matt Serra.
His nemesis has been vanquished, and his evil nightmare has been erased. Matt raises his arms in victory. Well done, Matt. Take a bow.

Is Deep FX treatment with a Lumenis FX laser safe for rosacea patients?
Deep FX with Lumenis FX for Rosacea Patient?
Doctor Answers 1
Fractional CO2 Laser resurfacing can be performed for patients with history of rosacea if the goal is to achieve rejuvenation with reduction of signs of sun damage. All Fractional CO2 Lasers performed comparably (e.g. DeepFx, Mixto, Fraxel Repair). However, one must be prepared to undergo a potentially prolonged duration of post-treatment redness, which can be minimized in the hands of an experienced board-certified dermatologist who can customized a specific post-op skin care routine to minimize redness including strict daily sun protection and consideration of anti-inflammatory oral antibiotics such as Oracea.

River Plantation is one of the most accessible planned residential communities in eastern Manatee County. River Plantation is located in Parrish, a very promising slice of Florida that is being developed with quality of life in mind.
The award-winning developer, Medallion Home, sought to bring the perfect balance of amenities and affordability when designing River Plantation. Like in other Medallion Home communities in Parrish, nature takes center stage with nature trails, a kayak and canoe launch, playgrounds, and picnic spots where families can gather and enjoy the native Florida vegetation and wildlife.
Opportunities at River Plantation begin with 10,000 square feet lots that start at just $20,000. The community features some of the most affordable homes in Southwest Florida: a three-bedroom and two-bathroom Medallion Home built on 2033 square feet can be negotiated at $140,000. A four-bedroom and four-bathroom estate built on nearly 3,500 square feet can be purchased with just $300,000. The architectural design styles are classic Sarasota: a touch of Key West with splashes of the Mediterranean.
Aside from the peaceful and breathtaking natural surroundings of River Plantation, residents can enjoy fitness, swimming, basketball, and tennis without even leaving their neighborhood. Boaters and fishermen only have to travel about two miles to the nearest boat ramp that will take them to the Manatee River and the Gulf Mexico. Major metropolitan areas like Bradenton, Saint Petersburg and Sarasota are all 30 minutes away or less. Shopping for groceries and household items can be accomplished at retail stores just a couple of miles away.
River Plantation is served by the following forward-thinking Manatee School District public learning institutions: Blackburn Elementary, Lincoln Middle and Palmetto High School.

My brother has a boat. He graciously offers to take us out to the lake when we visit. It's a time where the old (parents) try to feel younger, and the young (kids) try to feel older.
This year one of my girls even tried to learn to ski.
She popped right up on the knee board.
Cute kids + water + bright yellow ski jackets = good pictures every summer. Thanks, big brother.

The mere inference of the cuddly creature is calming and reassuring, yet I know if I were to hold a rabbit, one big sneeze fest would ensue. For now, I'll comfort myself with this line drawing of a bun bun, courtesy of my niece Sam-o-rama when she was five years old.

Treasured Memories
"Aurghhh, Matey." |
"Aye Aye, Captain!" |
To celebrate our Lucky 13 year of marriage, Tom and I discovered a pirate's plunder of relaxation on the Oregon coast. We stayed in Manzanita, a picturesque town off the radar from the cotton-candy crowds up the way and dined in Nehalem, a working man's whistle-stop with the finest restaurant in the region.
Finally, the sun on my face. |
Tom in the dunes, or is that love in the dunes? |
Cheers to the next 13 years. |

Cherry Disposition
I caught Tom the Kitchen Sculptor at it again, this time using fruit as his medium. The wire rack on the altar is just the place for ripening cherries, so using his amazing finger dexterity, Tom carefully dangled a couple, then bemused about how they looked, strung up a few more. Viola! Edible art.

Bingo Diva
I've never won anything in my life. That is, anything left to the luck of the draw — until last night. I was a Bingo Virgin then, but today, I'm an experienced winner of the $100 prize for the green game. Arrayed in my Hawaii tankini (it gives me so much coverage, it's like swimming in a gown) I attended Beach Blanket Gay Bingo, reveling in an evening of cabaret, Cabernet and oh-so-gay. One of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence confirmed my card, bestowing me with the big bucks. I can feel that it's the beginning of a winning streak.

Altared State
I am a clutter magnet. A pleasing arrangement of my own 'stuff' leaves me content, even better if the collection is made up of small offerings from friends. Every day I look upon our kitchen 'altar' and see a pious nun from Bernie — given to me in a time of turmoil — a sculpted bottle-opener bird from Sarah, the brass handle from a garden hose excavated from Harry's belongings, a squirt bottle Mary from Dorit, glass bubble vases from Charlotte (filled with 50th birthday rosemary — now taking root!) and an angel postcard, so long ago mailed to me from big sister Carrie. Smooth rocks and geodes found along the way ... all remind me of life's happy little moments.

Pointing Fingers
Tom will absolutely kill me for posting this picture but I think it's a classic. (So maybe I won't send him the link?) It was taken on a walk at low tide at Birch Bay during one of the only vacations we've enjoyed in the recent. We blame Alane, Phil and Carrie for the relaxation opportunity, as they gave me the Semiahmoo Resort gift certificate for my birthday — thank you, family, we needed that!
Thursday, May 13, 2010
It's happened. On this sunny spring morning, I leaped out of bed, put on my slippers and padded to the kitchen for a cup of coffee in the bunny cup. I didn't notice until many minutes had passed that I had on two different sides even though they don't feel the same. Uh-oh ... I think I'm on the path to true absent-mindedness. At least I have on comfortable shoes.

Aglow at 50
I've known Ms. Monica since she was 19 years old and looking at this picture, you'd think that was just a few short years ago. But no, she follows me in becoming 50, making the five-decade mark simply fabulous. For her hallmark birthday, 10 of us reveled in champagne and cruised in a limo, hitting Seattle hot spots for a progressive evening of apps (List), dinner (Barolo) and dessert (Cicchetti), a celebration fit for a queen. Even the finicky Mr. T loved Barolo, so we'll be back. Happy 5-0, Ms. Mo!

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Jin Patisserie Restaurant Review: While this breezy cottage with its gravel courtyard and blue pod ottomans offers lunch all day and afternoon tea, the undulating ribbon of wood and glass pastry cases beautifully focus attention on the exquisite confections of Kristy Choo, an accomplished pastry chef born in Singapore but with the soul of a French pâtissier. Her eye-popping pastries, from green tea mousse to multi-layered lavender gâteau---not to mention a rainbow of French-style macarons---are top-drawer, but even more impressive are Choo's chocolates, which rival the products of some fine Parisian chocolatiers. Jewel-like morsels enrobed in dark chocolate, they are filled with eclectic flavored creams: rosemary, mango-basil, Earl Grey, salted caramel and yuzu. The menu's informative tea snippets will guide the novice and intrigue the aficionado. |

Katrina to play Ranbir's lady
World's sexiest woman Katrina Kaif and Bollywood's starling actor Ranbir Kapoor has been cast opposite each other by director Prakash Jha for his forthcoming political thriller Rajniti. This is the first time Kat would act opposite any actor of her age. Actually Katrina had shot some scenes with Ranbir in the upcoming flick Bachna Ae Haseeno but those scenes had been chopped off due to movie's over length. But this incident did not hurt her and she again accepted to play his leading lady.

Philippines to host FIBA Asia Championship in August 2013
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) president Manny V Pangilinan (MVP) announced today that FIBA Asia has awarded the Philippines the rights to host the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship from August 1-13, 2013. The top 3 teams in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship will qualify to play in the 2014 FIBA World Cup. The last time the Philippines hosted the FIBA Asia Championship was in 1973 or 40 years ago.
Congratulations SBP and MVP! This is great news for Smart Gilas, next problem is forming the best team and to prepare them in the next few months.
4 Responses to Philippines to host FIBA Asia Championship in August 2013
PG: la tenorio, gabe norwood, jared dillinger(he played PG at fiba asia cup)
SG: jeff chan, larry fonacier, gary david
SF: arwind santos, kelly williams
PF: junemar fajardo, japeth aguilar
C: marcus douthit, greg slaughterTHIS IS A BIG AND FAST LINEUP. EXCELLENT OFFENSE AND DEFENSE. I HOPE MARECOGNIZE NYO ITO SMART GILAS COACHES AND OTHER STAFFS.
Lalo na ang fromtline. Sana ito ang frontline kasi yan ang weak position natin. Fajardo slaughter douthit sa height. Williams and aguilar sa quickness. Pwede din si Ranidel kung di pwede si aguilar.
Pwede pang palitan ang mga guards. Marami naman tayong talented guards. Basta ang frontline ang importante. Sa guards madami namang ibang options tulad nila alapag castro casio yap lassiter lutz.
We always have the best team and players it just pick up the right player and couching staff.

PF: Fajardo; Slaughter; EmanCOACHING STAFF:
HEAD: Erik Spoelstra
ASST: Chot Reyes; Yeng GuiaoYap and Chan are too small compared to world class SG's like Kobe, but are going to be efficient guards nonetheless, let them handle the ball along with LA. Santos and the others will be better for SG, but will have to work his ass of to adapt and play in the international stage, the rest will be comfortable in that position. Wiliams is also too small to be a SF (to match LBJ level) but we'll have to go with his speed and strength. Aguilar is a bit inconsistent, but he had a shot at the US NCAA and should know how to play at this level – and we need his height. For the PF, the twin towers like Fajardo should handle the paint.
Dhoutit and the aging Peek will be the muscle under the boards.
We ought to maintain 75% of the line-up be Filipino, or at least with identifiable Filipino last names, so drop the guards like Norwood and Dillinger since we have surplus of talented guards. I also prefer those who have Filipino roots to steer the Gilas, in contrast when Rajko Toroman was appointed the RP Head Coach. Let the 2-Time NBA Champion Miami Heat Coach gets the Phils. be recognized in the world stage. Chot could help with the offense sets and Guiao, with the bruising defensive tactics.

How exposed are the waters in each watershed to chemicals associated with agriculture and to runoff from impervious surfaces in riparian areas?
Waters are vulnerable to runoff of chemical contaminants from adjacent lands. These chemicals are often applied at low concentrations, but become pollutants and cause damage when carried to streams, rivers, wetlands, and lakes via rainfall, irrigation runoff or subsurface flow. Deposition of pollutants from the atmosphere and urban runoff containing contaminants are other non-point sources that may end up in surface water after being routed by impervious surfaces. (More detail)
Chemicals are often applied at low concentrations for some purpose on land (e.g., to control weeds or stimulate plant growth), but become pollutants and cause damage when carried to streams, rivers, wetlands, and lakes via rainfall, irrigation runoff or subsurface flow. Atmospheric deposition is another source, as pollutants in the atmosphere either fall on surfaces attached to dust and other particles or are absorbed by clouds and raindrops.
There are thousands of studies showing the connection between disbursed chemical application or deposition and reduced water quality, degraded water resources, or damage to biotic communities. Water quality measured by nutrients and contaminants has been shown to decline with higher agricultural or urban development (Allan et al. 1997, Welch et al. 1998, Goetz et al. 2003, Moore et al. 2007, Schiff and Benoit 2007, Zampella et al. 2007, Lussier et al. 2008). Contaminants, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, were at higher concentrations in water with both higher rates per unit area and application to a larger proportion of surrounding landscapes (Johnes et al 1996, Townsend et al 2004, Nangia et al. 2008). Moore (2007) found measureable impacts, such as excess algal growth and reduced plant diversity; additionally, Smith et al., (2007), and Wang et al., (2007, 2008) found low biotic integrity and diversity for fish and invertebrate communities related to non-point pollution.
Different approaches have been taken for calculating this index at the Major Watershed (HUC8) scale and the sub-watershed DNR Catchment scale. The approaches are described separately:
This index has two metrics, the first is based on chemical application rates to agricultural lands. Data on chemical fertilizer and pesticides for agricultural lands are from the National Agricultural Statistic Service (NASS) recorded as a point of sale for each county. First, the total amount of chemical sold in each county is distributed equally across the agricutural acres in that county. Since watersheds cross county boundaries, these values are combined in an area-weighted sum based on the agricultural acres from each county that fall within each watershed. This yields an estimate of mean chemical application rate per watershed. These rates are then scaled linearly from 100 (no application) to 0 (highest observed mean application rate).
A second metric is based on impervious surface in riparian areas or floodplains, defined as those within a 200 meter buffer of the 1:24,000 scale Minnesota Department of Natural Resources streams map or within the 100 or 500 year floodplain as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Floodplain maps. Impervious surface data are available from a statewide analysis by the University of Minnesota. Impervious data are provided as a proportional coverage, so these coverages are summed for an area-weighted mean of the near-water impervious percent for the watershed. The value for each watershed is then linearly scaled from 100 (zero impervious surface) to 0 (if 4% of the defined riparian zone was impervious surface).
The final index is the average of the first and second metric.
This metric quantifies the risk of phosphorus mobilization from upland non-point sources. In Minnesota, the majority of non-point source phosphorus that reaches surface waters in years of average rainfall comes from overland flow (Barr Engineering, 2004). This metric combines a land-use based phosphorus export value with soil erodibility and slope to assess the relative risk of mobilizing phosphorus from the landscape.
Risk values were calculated as a three meter grid that covers the entire state. For each cell, an individual score represents the risk of phosphorus mobilization from that location.
Grid Cell Value = Land Use Export Coefficient * (1 + slope factor + erodibility factor).
The minimum possible cell value is 0 (for wetlands which have a "0" phosphorus export coefficient). The maximum possible cell value is 4.4 (row crop phosphorus export coefficient 2.2) * (1 + max slope factor (.5) + max soil erodibility factor (.5) were also at their maximum threshold value). With these methods land use is the primary consideration to the final score, and slope and erodibility are used as modifying coefficients representing an increased risk due to physical landscape conditions. Slope values were rescaled from 0 (equal to 0% slope) to 0.5 (equal to 15% slope). Soil erodibility values ranged from 0 to .49 and were not rescaled.
The average of the grid cell values intersecting each catchment watershed were used to create a score for that catchment. The catchment scores ranged from 0 to 3.147. These values were rescaled to the final phosphorus risk score from 0 (highest risk / maximum catchment value of 3.147) to 100 (lowest risk/minimum catchment value of 0).
There is insufficient basis in the scientific literature to identify a specific relationship between quantitative measures of impairment to threshold values or ranges. The two inputs were combined and a mean value for each watershed was generated. The combined values ranged from 8.5 to 97. The resulting values were ranked in equal intervals from 0 to 100.
Watersheds spanned almost the entire range of index values, from a low of 8 and several in the low to mid 20s, to high values in the upper 90s. Scores were lowest in southern and central Minnesota and highest in the northeast.
Nutrient and other chemical application rates are highest in the agricultural southwest and western edge of Minnesota, resulting in scores less than 30 in these regions. Application rates are near zero for much of the east-central through northeastern Minnesota, resulting in high averages scores (most above 90, many near or at 100). Deposition-related scores, related to impervious surfaces, are highest in the watersheds adjacent to the Metropolitan areas of the Twin Cities, Rochester, and St. Cloud with scores generally less than 10. Low scores were also found in the less developed southeast driftless area (less than 20) where development is concentrated in flat river bottom and near-stream areas, and in some agricultural watersheds, with a high rural-road density to serve farmsteads. Much of the central portion of the state has intermediate scores (generally 20-50), whereas the northern portion of the state, particularly the northeast, exhibit deposition-related scores greater than 70.
Composite index scores combine these two trends, with highest average scores in the north and northeastern portion and extreme southeastern parts of Minnesota, transitioning through intermediate scores in the central portions of the state, to lowest scores in the south and a few western watersheds.
Most water quality impairments do not directly alter hydrology. But altered hydrology may either increase or decrease the movement of pollutants into aquatic systems. Removal of vegetation in riparian or upland areas can increase runoff, which can transport pollutants to streams or lakes.
Water quality impairments play an important, but indirect role in the connectivity of streams. However, elevated levels of nutrients may cause excessive plant growth. When the plants die and decompose oxygen levels in the water may be reduced, which may act as a short-term barrier to fish movements.
There is an indirect relationship between geomorphology and water quality impairments. For example, potential pollutants, such as nitrogen or phosphorus are more readily delivered to streams in areas with higher slopes or fine soils.
Many water quality impairments affect aquatic organisms. For example, high sediment loads may be lethal to aquatic organisms, but more often sediment results in chronic effects, such as reduced growth rates in fish.
The literature is replete with studies showing strong relationships between various land activities and non-point source pollutants. Conversion from native vegetation to farmland is often associated with: increases in phosphorus and nitrogen inputs; increased land erosion and sediment transport; changes in the frequency and duration of high water flows causing in-stream erosion and bed transport; and higher e. coli inputs from livestock and humans (Welch et al. 1998, Schoonover et al. 2005, Moore et al. 2007). Conversion from native vegetation to urban and artificial environments results in many of these same increases, less frequently with increased distributed overland flow and sediment generation, but often higher surface concentration and gully erosion, and relatively increased distributed organic chemical and heavy metal inputs (Welch et al. 1998, Goetz et al. 2003, Schiff and Benoit 2007, Lussier et al. 2008).
A number of studies have shown increased pollutant inputs and degraded stream conditions that were related to the proportion of impervious surface, both in the watershed and near-steam. Goetz et al. (2007) found in a central Maryland study that for a water quality rating of excellent, imperviousness cover in the watershed could be no greater than 6% and no greater than 10% for a good rating. Schoonover et al. (2005) found that total dissolved solids, chloride, nitrate, sulfate, sodium, phosphorus, and fecal coliform all were significantly higher when impervious surface was more than 5% of a watershed. Schiff and Benoit (2007) found water quality and habitat quality declined as impervious surface areas increased from 0 to 10%. Lussier et al. (2008) found that greater than 24% residential land use (with a smaller percentage of embedded impervious surfaces) led to significant degradation of water quality.
Agricultural land uses have been shown to increase non-point source pollutants. Sediment inputs, nitrogen concentration, and phosphorus concentration increase with agricultural land use; conversely they decrease in relation to forest land cover (Allan et al., 1997). N and P concentrations are lower in less-disturbed headwater streams and increase downstream with agricultural and urban land uses, causing greater biological oxygen demand (BOD)(Welch et a., 1998). Much of this high BOD is due to excess fertilizer, with up to 40% of surface-applied N and P fertilizers reaching waters depending on rates and application conditions (Johnes et a., 1996, Gowda et al., 2008, Nangia et al., 2008).
These non-point source inputs have been shown to harm stream biota and functions over a range of conditions and in a number of ways. Measures of carnivorous, intolerant, omnivorous, and salmonid fish and IBI scores showed clear decreasing trends as concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen increased (Wang et al. 2007). Frequency of algal blooms increased in lakes when total phosphorus concentrations increased to above 50 to 75 µg/L as a result of non-point inputs, as well as a reduction in the density of some important fish species, rooted vegetation, and water clarity (Heiskary and Wilson, 2008). Intolerant Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Tricoptera (EPT) and percent Tanytarsini midges were associated with low chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and siltation gradients in a study by Norton et al. (2000). They also found that darters and lithophilic spawners (fish which require clean gravel) were associated with low siltation, whereas omnivorous fish were associated with sites with high siltation, BOD, COD and nutrients. Generally, the diversity of fish species decreases with added nutrients from agricultural fields and the absence of fish is a good indicator of high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in the water. For example, a study in Ontario, Canada found that the main threat to fishes and mussels was heavy loadings of sediment, nutrients, and possibly pesticides to the river via tile drainage and overland runoff from agricultural lands (Staton et al. 2003).
We are confident in the results for this index. The basic relationships between increased landscape inputs and decreased forest and natural vegetation in riparian areas or floodplains have been established in a broad range of studies, over several continents, in the U.S., and in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The mechanisms are well understood, from the application or atmospheric deposition of the distributed pollutants, the flowpaths by which they travel to water bodies, factors that disrupt/change these flow paths, chemical and biological transformations as these inputs are transported, and factors affecting concentrations and impacts once these pollutants reach water bodies. For example, Goetz et al. (2003) found strong relationships between the level of impairment and impervious surface, particularly in near-stream environments. Other studies have confirmed these or similar results for a range of pollutants, including chlorides and elevated pH (Zampella et al., 2007), fecal coliform and TSS (Schoonover et al., 2005), nitrogen and phosphorus (Johnes et al., 1996, Welch et al., 1998, Townsend et al., 2004, Moore 2007), or a range of pollutants (Staton et al, 2003, Schoonover et al., 2005, Heiskary and Wilson 2008), with thresholds of 4 to 6% for urban areas or greater than 35% for agricultural land use in riparian areas indicating the initiation of significant impacts. Detrimental effects include excess algal growth and reduced plant diversity (Moore 2007), low biotic integrity and diversity of fish and invertebrate communities (Smith et al., 2007, Wang et al., 2007, 2008), and increased biological oxygen demand and mortality of aquatic organisms (Albert and Minc 2004, Hanson et al., 2005).
The index is based on mapped impervious surface data at a 30-meter resolution from Landsat satellite images. Permeabilities may be poorly estimated for isolated features narrower than this resolution, either by omission (e.g., narrow roads) or commission (e.g. very bright natural features with high permeabilities such as sandbanks or beaches). Although these data represent the best, uniform, statewide coverage available they could be improved. For example, all vegetated surfaces are considered infinitely permeable, and many studies indicate substantial variation dependent on soils, land use, and terrain (e.g., lower permeabilities with clay soils, row-crop agricultural land due to plowing or compaction, or higher permeabilities under older woody vegetation). Future indices could improve these estimates of permeabilities.
In addition, the index relies on county-level estimates of chemical application, apportioned to watersheds in proportion to agricultural area. More precise records of application rate and location would improve the index, perhaps through sampling, but more likely through an integration of crop type and typical application rates.
Finally, the specific threshold for scoring could be improved for local conditions. The threshold uses a 200-meter buffer and a 4% impervious surface threshold for an initiation of impact. These numbers, while well-supported in the literature, could be refined as more studies of specific impacts become available for conditions statewide.
