dc.description.abstract | The overall focus of this experience was to provide efficient nutrition education and health promotion with both rural and urban areas of Kansas. To begin the experience, the student concentrated on health promotion and public health nutrition within the Riley County Research and Extension Office. The second phase of the experience was to provide nutrition education to underprivileged families and adults in Riley County through the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). Classes were facilitated in Manhattan, Kansas and on The Flint Hills Job Corps Campus. During classes, clients were provided with knowledge in many areas including: basic nutrition education, low-cost recipes, and a variety of information related to food, food safety, family nutrition and food resource management. Lastly, to combine coursework, nutrition education experiences, and disease prevention and maintenance, the student established a diabetes education program for JayDoc Free Clinic in Kansas City, Kansas. Every-other Tuesday she volunteered to help educate patients with diabetes during specialty clinic sessions. Instruction was given on insulin use, carbohydrate counting, and prevention and maintenance aspects of this chronic disease to patients and their families. This field experience contains a broad range of public health aspects and provides the chance to work with variety of ages, community members, and healthcare professionals. Direct work with nutrition education provided the student to utilized her core coursework and own experiences to help enable both rural and urban populations to make better lifestyle choices. | en_US |

Meaning of name Junaid
Etymology : Variant transcription of JUNAYD
Saint :
Origin : Arabic
Rate this first name :
Who are they?
They are very pleasant, magnetic men who appear to be strong, masculine and self-assured, even though they aren´t always terribly at ease due to their worried and anxious nature. They are much more sensitive and vulnerable than they seem. Eager to please, it is important for them to live in harmony with their loved ones. They are inclined to take on responsibility, in both the familial and professional arenas. Bold and ambitious, they are active and resourceful. Even so, with the double influence of the 7 and the 8, they can sometimes be torn between a tendency towards materialism - pushing them to achieve purely financial success (accentuated if they were born on the 8th, 17th or 26th or if their life Path Number is 8), and a more philosophical, scientific and mystic tendency, provoking thoughtfulness, and the search for the answers to existential questions. The associated energies of these numbers could stimulate their interest in more abstract subjects, thereby contributing to their personal enrichment. They are tinkerers and are quite capable of repairing the electrical system of their car, then, a few hours later, you might find them engrossed in an esoteric book... In any case, Abednego and Junaid need both action and reflection in their lives, while they are particularly attached to their homes and their families. As children, they flit between the calm and the storm, the computer and the rugby match which can be quite perplexing to witness. Introverted as they are, and often shy, you could be surprised to receive a gruff response to one of your questions. They have their secrets and you are not to pry. They are very receptive to their environment and do not cope well with disharmony in the family. It would be a good idea to encourage them to develop their social skills through participation in group activities.
What do they like?
They enjoy peace and quiet, solitude and the sweet safety of their homes, while they feel uncomfortable in noisy atmospheres. Very secretive creatures, they can be enigmatic with an avid interest in all that is original, unusual, or avant-garde, and could easily be perceived as "outsiders". Because they are not overly communicative or demonstrative, they can often be misunderstood in the romantic sphere and have difficulty expressing their emotions. Their shyness and modesty can sometimes make them seem abrupt. Yet when they are in love, these are gentle, affectionate men who dream of raising a family.
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What do they do?
If the 8 prevails (day of birth or life path), they could be tempted by the professions related to power or finance (police, military, banking, management ...), occupations in connection with industry, metallurgy and mechanics, or technology. If the 7 prevails, they could be more interested in professions related to the latest technologies (computers, electronics), specialization (dentistry), water (plumber...), the medical profession or occupations in connection with esthetics.

That Kinect game right? I remember seeing the early footage...looked pretty terrible IMO.
Neat Countdown.
As expected the rumours were true.
Xbox, read roman numerals.
Xbox, tell me if Ryse is a good game.
Xbox, tell me if Ryse is a good game.
"Son Came to Rome" is the translation.
mandatory kinect?
if so, NO THANK YOU
there goes another crytek IP added to the ignore list

Wonder what the extent of Kinect will be...
I wonder if we're going to get a whole generation of funny kinect videos from giantbomb.
'Controller-based gameplay enhanced by Kinect?'
Yeah, finally a big new game in the grand tradition of Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor!
Yeah, finally a big new game in the grand tradition of Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor!
yesssscontroller based gameplay
I'm still curious to see exactly what this is. If done right, even with Kinect, it could be cool.
It doesn't paint a positive feature of Kinect 2.0 if one of the supposed flagship title was changed to controller mode...
Nice to see them confirm controller-based gameplay.
Interested to see it. I bet it's gorgeous and I thought the kinect stuff was toned down? Crytek had also not made a good game since Crysis but this will be important for them.
yessss finally something about rome now that spartacus ended.
hooray. now we get to watch Crytek be pompous and arrogant about motion controls in addition to graphics.
New I.Ps, good.
Kinect is probably just going to read your pulse and use your voice and all that stuff.
This title does interest me alot. Great potential.
Nice. Kinect only there to enhance the game, as I predicted in another thread.
I bet my left ball this gets scripted like Milo demo. (to sell you on Kinect 2)
(Btw If someone is wondering I lost my right ball by betting on #teamreal when Milo demo was shown. Damn you peter.)

Let me show you through these halls, my friend, where treasures of indie gaming await...
Another game that doesnt interest me down, 12 exclusives to go.
Amazing how many people don't even read an image in the OP.
God I hope this is legit. Crytek + Kinect + ancient Rome = something interesting, right? Right?!
Will this be FTP? didn't Crytek say all their games after Crysis 3 will be FTP?
"Controller-based gameplay enhanced by Kinect"
I like the sound of that.
I like the sound of that.
doesnt mean there wont be some kind of kinect controls shoehorned in that your required to use at some pointOriginally Posted by vogelkacke
it says controller based, enhanced with kinect
its hard to read isnt it ?
"BASED" means the majority of the controls will use button inputs. thats great. I refuse to play a game if even a word has to be spoken or gesture made
it needs to be controller ONLY
with how much Microsoft is forcing kinect on us, im not confident "enhanced" means optional
Really interested on seeing how this looks now.
At some point during the conference it was said that there would be hybird kinect/controller based games and the example was raising your hands and controller upward to raise your sheild. I'm guessing this is how this game will play. No kinect to move of course but certain actions will be gesture based.
"Controller based gameplay enhanced by Kinect".
Well that's certainly better than before.
Well that's certainly better than before.
So, this is a (first person?) action game set in ancient Rome? Consider me intrigued.
i remembered that they said it will be a controller game with kinect functionality. that's why they've moved it next gen
Has it ever actually been shown? They had that brief trailer a few E3s ago but I think I remember that being CG.Really interested on seeing how this looks now.
It's changed teams since then, too. The fact it's moved to controller gameplay means they've probably made substantial changes to anything they might have shown before.
I'm a little rusty on my Roman Numerals lol so when does this count down end?

Subject | Re: Apache UTF-8 |
Date | Tue, 11 Mar 2003 19:38:24 GMT |
Win32 and some UTF-8 unicies effectively are, as their file names are all in utf-8. About the only non-ASCII stuff in your .conf file are usually comments and file names and paths, and uri's. There is no translation (and will probably never be) so your httpd.conf should just follow your site and platform conventions. In any case, there is alot more work to be done around the arguments to and from the clients - there is no defined way for a request to indicate the character set the request is coming in with. One group advocates that all URI's should be sent in UTF-8. Existing browsers are a real obstacle to 'enforcing' that. In any case, I don't see why you can't use UTF-8 right now, 99.5% of most configuration files are ASCII subsets, common to UTF-8. *If* your filenames and paths are in UTF-8 use that. If they are in another encoding, you must use that specific encoding in your httpd.conf file. There really is no magic to it. Apache directives are all ASCII-subset.

Python Tkinter LabelFrame
A labelframe is a simple container widget. Its primary purpose is to act as a spacer or container for complex window layouts.
This widget has the features of a frame plus the ability to display a label.
Here is the simple syntax to create this widget −
w = LabelFrame( master, option, ... )
master: This represents the parent window.
options: Here is the list of most commonly used options for this widget. These options can be used as key-value pairs separated by commas.
Option | Description |
bg | The normal background color displayed behind the label and indicator. |
bd | The size of the border around the indicator. Default is 2 pixels. |
cursor | If you set this option to a cursor name (arrow, dot etc.), the mouse cursor will change to that pattern when it is over the checkbutton. |
font | The vertical dimension of the new frame. |
height | The vertical dimension of the new frame. |
labelAnchor | Specifies where to place the label. |
highlightbackground | Color of the focus highlight when the frame does not have focus. |
highlightcolor | Color shown in the focus highlight when the frame has the focus. |
highlightthickness | Thickness of the focus highlight. |
relief | With the default value, relief=FLAT, the checkbutton does not stand out from its background. You may set this option to any of the other styles |
text | Specifies a string to be displayed inside the widget. |
width | Specifies the desired width for the window. |
Try the following example yourself. Here is how to create a labelframe widget −
from Tkinter import * root = Tk() labelframe = LabelFrame(root, text="This is a LabelFrame") labelframe.pack(fill="both", expand="yes") left = Label(labelframe, text="Inside the LabelFrame") left.pack() root.mainloop()
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result −

59 year old woman treated with Facelift
This 59 year old woman underwent a revision facelift only 4 years after having surgery at another facility. As you can see from the before pictures, she had residual jowls and neck issues, a sagging midface, and an overall downward vector of her facial tissues. Post-op, you can see a tighter jawline and elevation of the cheeks.

Citigroup's Forese, Medina-Mora Receive $1.2 Million From Funds
Donal GriffinCitigroup Inc.'s new co-presidents, Jamie Forese and Manuel Medina-Mora, received a combined $1.2 million last year from their holdings in internal private-equity investment funds.
Forese, 49, got $755,675 in total distributions from his stakes in two of the funds while Medina-Mora, 62, received $418,800 from one of the funds, according to a regulatory filing today by the New York-based firm. The Citigroup Employee Fund of Funds I and Citigroup Capital Partners II seek to profit from private-equity investments, the filing shows.
Chief Executive Officer Michael Corbat, 52, promoted the two company veterans this week to help him push through a cost-reduction strategy that has already resulted in 11,000 job cuts. Forese will oversee all institutional businesses while Medina-Mora continues to run consumer banking and the lender's Mexico operations.
"Citi is fortunate to have very strong leaders with the skills and experience I will rely on as we navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead," Corbat said in a Jan. 7 statement announcing the shake-up. "Jamie and Manuel have both spent their entire careers at Citi and its predecessor companies, and they exemplify the best of Citi."
Medina-Mora received about $11.4 million in total compensation for 2011, including a $4.2 million cash bonus, a filing shows. The bank didn't disclose compensation for Forese, who previously ran Citigroup's securities and banking unit.
Citigroup paid $124,524 in 2012 compensation to the spouse of a child of Medina-Mora, according to the filing. The bank doesn't identify the person, who was no longer an employee by June 15, the filing shows.
Shannon Bell, a spokeswoman for Citigroup, declined to comment.

Choc Chiffon with Choc-chips
To all chocolate lover like me, another tasty recipe that yield moist, light & fluffy chocolate chiffon cake, shared by Hearty Bakes, and here I am submitting Aspiring Bakers #7 – Chocolate Delight (May 2011).
Source : Chiffon Cake Book via Hearty Bakes.
100 gr Couverture Chocolate (chopped)
10 ml Corn oil
3 Egg yolks
20 gr Sugar
40 ml Water
60 gr Cake flour
10 gr Cocoa powder
½ tsp Baking powder
5 Egg whites
40g Sugar
2-1/2 tbsp Choc-chips
- Double boil to melt (A). Stir till smooth.
- Preheat oven to 170 deg C
- In another bowl, whisk (B) till pale in colour. Add in melted choc (A) mixture, add (C) stir till combine.
- Add in (D), fold till mixture well-mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk egg whites till frothy, add sugar. Whisk till soft peak.
- Fold gently 1/3 whites with chocolate mixture, then fold it back to balance of whites.
- Add in (F) to the batter, mix well.
- Pour batter into 7" cake pan or 20 inch chiffon tube pan.
- Bake for 40 mins or until cooked.
- Remove from oven, invert cake onto table until completely cooled.
I love chocolatey / dark colour of chocolate cake, however, here mine not so dark compare to hers. Anybody maybe would like to share on your experience or tips on how to get a darker chocolate cake.
PS: She used Varlhona Bitter chocolate while I used Couverture chocolate.

Hi DG,
The cake looks so delicious. I'll definitely try it soon. I tried baking chocolate chiffon once and it turned out tall and steady but there were still a few spots of egg whites so the cake looked weird with white spots on brown face. I guess I did a poor job mixing and blending. But your recipe sounds great. Double chocolate is double pleasure for my elder son, who is a fan of chocolate :).
Thank you for sharing.Thanks Izahdaut, Chiffon ini bener bener enak! Boleh coba, anak2x pasti suka :)
Thank you. From my experience to make chiffon, I prefer to beat the egg whites upto soft or medium peak, but not stiff peak, as I found the former is easier to blend with the egg yolk batter. Try again with this recipe, your son & family will certainly enjoy this :)
Joseline, Busygran and Love2Cook,
Thank you for kind words :))
Thanks, in fact I was scared too when did the folding, but I just lucky with the end result that the choc chips floating :)

maybe they like the scenery
Sent a package on Saturday via USPS priority with delivery confirmation.
I was in Atlantic City, and it is going to Camden, both in New Jersey, and only 50'ish miles apart.
Look at the route USPS is taking...
Screen Shot 2012-09-19 at 8.03.36 PM.png
maybe they like the scenery
Driver decided on a last minute vacay?
I had a package that was going to Canada but took a scenic tour to Argentina.
I recently had a package coming from MN going to NJ.It got to NJ,but decided to wander off to VA for a day,before coming back.
they lost a package of mine for 3 weeks... i called SEVERAL times, and all they could tell me is "i don't know"
One lady actually had the nerve to say "don't worry about it, just wait 30 days and file a claim"...
Turns out it was sitting on a shelf in the post office for 17 days... they just didn't bother to look for it
For the most part I think they do very well.
Considering the volume they handle they are bound to have a few off deliveries.
I have a package comming to me and it took 4 days to get from sacramento to sanfrancisco. Delivery conformation said it should be delivered on the 17th and it just left California.
I have shipped and received well over 1000 packages via USPS and have lost exactly zero. Of course, if it happens to you, it's bad news.
I have had a some weird tracking, probably due to USPS recycling tracking numbers*, but the packages always arrived when they were supposed to.
*It is possible that's what happened here. Give it another day and see what happens.
History is a pack of lies about events that never happened written by people who weren't there."
They may not be perfect but far above their competition. I only use usps due to their efficiency over last 7 years or so and nothing lost and only one damaged that could have been my fault .
If you search bf I am sure you will find overwhelming consensus that favor usps by large margin.

Hi - I have not really had problems with them getting things where they are going either. This was just funny because the person I sent the item to pinged me to see what was up, and when I tracked the item, it was a DOH!!!!! moment.
Thankfully I paid the extra for the delivery confirmation/tracking so I could tell him what was up.
A big +1 to this thread. Sent one to NY a few weeks ago, luckily it arrived a day or two after its trip to HI and Florida
I have not received that many but I have received enough to fill a whole cupboard with USPS boxes. I have only had one loss, when I had a package shipped with Priority Mail instead of Express. My choice, my fault. Fortunately it was nothing terribly important just some traditional slipjoints so no biggie.
I had a Banned Busse AK47 go missing some years ago. It turns out that USPS ships to South Africa via Holland and that damn volcano in Iceland erupted shutting down European airspace and stranded my package. It took another 6 weeks for it to arrive as they had a massive backlog to clear, but arrive it did.
I am amazed by how good the USPS International service is. Sometimes packages take a while to arrive and clear customs and I have only ever had to enquire about 2 packages which appeared shortly after. To date I have very little to complain about.
Holy Moly... I have gotten fragile items completely destroyed by USPS, but I don't think I've ever had packages take the super scenic routes yours have
Hey T, wait until you start getting UPS envelopes with a ups tracking number that says USPS on it delivered in your mail box a couple of days later than normal or ship a global guaranteed Fedex from a post office with a usps tracking number... the services are starting to merge together and not for the better.
There could be other reasons they're losing money... I went to ship a Benchmade 710-2 to western Russia and UPS wanted $270 tracked and insured, USPS wanted $35 tracked until it landed in Europe.
This is all due to the USPS closing sorting facilities. One of our ways to combat the economy.
The only other reson for that might be a misread zipcode due to poor hand writing. (not saying that is the case here)
Spyderco Ladybug zdp and Clipit tool for trade!!
Look outside your local P.O. You will find a FedEx box right next to the big blue mail boxes! The UPS driver pulls up to our P.O. and drops off every day.
The P.O.'s 2 biggest customers are FedEx and UPS! They are seling the hell out of those "If it fits - it ships" Priority boxes. They can not touch those prices.
Spyderco Ladybug zdp and Clipit tool for trade!!
UPS and FedEx are not customers,they are being contracted to move packages and bulk mailings to the DC's for the USPS.
It's easy to undercut the competition when making a profit isn't in the USPS business model.
Who do you think moves the majority of small packages for USPS ? It is contractors,FedEx and UPS. Only the final delivery is made by the USPS.

Building up bamboo |
(Nanowerk News) Bamboo construction has traditionally been rather straightforward: Entire stalks are used to create latticed edifices, or woven in strips to form wall-sized screens. The effect can be stunning, and also practical in parts of the world where bamboo thrives. | |
But there are limitations to building with bamboo. The hardy grass is vulnerable to insects, and building with stalks essentially hollow cylinders limits the shape of individual building components, as well as the durability of the building itself. | |
Researchers in Gibson's lab have collected bamboo samples of various thicknesses to analyze bamboo's microstructure. (Photo: Jennifer Chu/MIT) | |
MIT scientists, along with architects and wood processors from England and Canada, are looking for ways to turn bamboo into a construction material more akin to wood composites, like plywood. The idea is that a stalk, or culm, can be sliced into smaller pieces, which can then be bonded together to form sturdy blocks much like conventional wood composites. A structural product of this sort could be used to construct more resilient buildings particularly in places like China, India, and Brazil, where bamboo is abundant. | |
Such bamboo products are currently being developed by several companies. The MIT project intends to gain a better understanding of these materials, so that bamboo can be more effectively used structurally. To that end, MIT researchers have now analyzed the microstructure of bamboo and found that the plant is stronger and denser than North American softwoods like pine, fir, and spruce, making the grass a promising resource for composite materials. | |
Bamboo grows extensively in regions where there are rapidly developing economies, so its an alternative building material to concrete and steel, says Lorna Gibson, the Matoula S. Salapatas Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT. You probably wouldnt make a skyscraper out of bamboo, but certainly smaller structures like houses and low-rise buildings. | |
Gibson and her colleagues analyzed sections of bamboo from the inside out, measuring the stiffness of each section at the microscale. As it turns out, bamboo is densest near its outer walls. The researchers used their data to develop a model that predicts the strength of a given section of bamboo. | |
The model may help wood processors determine how to assemble a particular bamboo product. As Gibson explains it, one section of bamboo may be more suitable for a given product than another: If you wanted a bamboo beam that bends, maybe youd want to put the denser material at the top and bottom and the less dense bits toward the middle, as the stresses in the beam are larger at the top and bottom and smaller in the middle. Were looking at how we might optimize the selection of bamboo materials in the structure that you make. | |
This images shows a vascular bundle. You can see it is made up of the vessels (large dark holes, empty looking) and supporting fibers (somewhat dark very solid looking regions). The parenchyma (light circular cells) surround the vascular bundle (vascular bundle refers to the overall clover shaped structure). | |
Gibson and her colleagues have published their results in the Journal of the Royal Society: Interface ("The structure and mechanics of Moso bamboo material"). | |
A look at bamboo, from the inside out | |
For their experiments, the researchers analyzed specimens of moso, the main species of bamboo used in China. Like most types of bamboo, moso grows as hollow, cylindrical stalks, or culms, segmented by nodes along the length of a stalk. Bamboo can reach heights of 20 meters as tall as a six-story building in just a few months. The stalks then take another few years to mature but still much faster than a pine trees statelier, decades-long growth. | |
One of the impressive things is how fast bamboo grows, Gibson notes. If you planted a pine forest versus a bamboo forest, you would find you can grow far more bamboo, and faster. | |
Researchers used electron microscopy to obtain images of the bamboo microstructure and create complete, microscale cross-sections of the entire culm wall at different heights along the stalk. | |
The resulting images showed density gradients of vascular bundles hollow vessels that carry fluid up and down the stalk, surrounded by solid fibrous cells. The density of these bundles increases radially outward a gradient that seems to grow more pronounced at higher positions along a stalk. | |
The researchers cut sections of bamboo from the inside out, noting each samples radial and longitudinal position along a culm, then gauged the stiffness and strength of the samples by performing bending and compression tests. In particular, they performed nanoindentation, which uses a tiny mechanical tip to push down on a sample, to gain an understanding of bamboos material properties at a finer scale. From the results of these mechanical tests, Gibson and her colleagues found that in general, bamboo is stiffer and stronger than most North American softwoods commonly used in construction, and also denser. | |
The researchers then used the stiffness and density data to create a model that accurately predicts the mechanical properties of bamboo as a function of position in the stalk. Gibson says wood processors that she works with in Canada may use the model as a guide to assemble durable bamboo blocks of various shapes and sizes. | |
Lorna Gibson, an MIT professor of mechanical engineering, explains her group's research into using bamboo as a building material. | |
Going forward, the processors, in turn, will send the MIT team composite samples of bamboo to characterize. For example, a product may be processed to contain bamboo along with other materials to reduce the density of the product and make it resistant to insects. Such composite materials, Gibson says, will have to be understood at the microscale. | |
We want to look at the original mechanical properties of the bamboo culm, as well as how processing affects the product, Gibson says. Maybe theres a way to minimize any effects, and use bamboo in a more versatile way. | |
Oliver Frith, acting director of programme for the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan, headquartered in Beijing, says that very few species of bamboo have been classified, and the lack of knowledge of the materials microstructure has impaired efforts to design efficient, optimal structural products. | |
MITs work is very timely and has great potential to support development of the sector, says Frith, who was not involved in the research. While bamboo has similarities to wood, as this study shows, the material also has very distinct properties. Although current approaches to developing structural engineered bamboo have tended to focus on mimicking engineered wood products, the future will probably lie in innovating new approaches that can better enhance the natural advantages of this unique material. |

, Jan. 10, 2011 QC Softball | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Indiana Player Looking for a Team for 2011 Have played Major or Major Plus for 8 years (will be 59 this year). Team folded after the Phoenix Worlds in 2010. Lifetime .700 hitter with some power (2-4 homeruns a tournament). Play outfield (mostly right & right center) and 2nd base. Pitch in young man softball not much in Senior softball. Live near Cincinnati, Ohio but in actually in Indiana. If interested replay back and we can set up to talk. |
, Sept. 11, 2009 QC Softball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Grayhawk Park Softball Complex Our team played on these longer fences (Gallatin, TN) and it create a lot more doubles, triples and even inside the park home runs. There were a lot less home runs. If you play like the fences are 300 feet it is easy to get burned and the batter gets a triple. IF you play back then what used to be a single is now a double (our arms aren't what they used to be. 325 foot fences or more is asking a lot of 50,55 & 60 year old men and women to play on. The longer fences did not lower the scores. We just played less innings because of the time limits. Just my opinion! |
, July 3, 2009 QC Softball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: NSA World Series (looking for a team) My team is not playing in the NSA and I'm looking to play that weekend in 50 Major or 55 Major Plus. Currently play outfield and infield for a MAjor Plus team out of Indiana. I live in Southeatern Indiana. Can start contact on this site. |
, Feb. 26, 2009 QC Softball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Seniors and Home Runs I like the homer run rules because I'll take my changes that most home hitters can't change their swing to hit singles and I want to catch some of those halve swing fly balls. If the have trouble changing their swing they usually can hit the pitcher. The real power hits can hit pretty much where ever they want. Those guys don't swing for the pitcher. Our major plus team needs the limits to compete with the big home run hitting teams. We hit a lot of singles and doubles and use our team speed to win. If the big guys just hit home runs the don't have to run and their bench doesn't have to run for them. I want to see these teams that depend on the home run run of offense and play defense. |
, Feb. 26, 2009 QC Softball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: I have a simple question for those who have pitched. I've pitched ASA & USSSA since the 70's and still do for young man ball but I don't in senior ball. I don't even like play infield in senior ball. The ball does come back a little faster but the big difference I feel is the hardest of the ball. Remember when we used to start a game with two new balls because the ball would get soft by the third or fourth inning. I can remember getting hit several times but the ball only bruised you, it leave knots or break bones. Question a lot faster or a lot harder? |
, Feb. 24, 2009 QC Softball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A simple I'm a 55 major plus and still say YES |
, Feb. 22, 2009 QC Softball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HR's cry me a river So if I put 10 homer hitters on the field of which maybe 5 are good defensively and you throw out 10 good defensive plays that can't hit the ball out of the park. Situation: there is a 5 run limit per inning and the homer hitters are home team for the open inning. Who has the advantage the homer hitters that dont have to run on offense and only a little on defense or the team that has to run everything out? At the lower levels there needs to be an equalizer. Not sure if the home runs limit is the solution but it an attempt. Einstein anyone that has ever seen you play (Ive had the chance to play against you 6 or 7 times) cant say you're not a sandbagger but there are teams and players out there. When have more than one or two divisions you will always have some players and teams playing down to win. |
, Feb. 22, 2009 QC Softball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HR's cry me a river I agree with wagon 487. We've had home runs limits most of our softball lives. It is the only way to keep teams and players from sandbagging. |
, Feb. 22, 2009 QC Softball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Seniors and Home Runs I play in a league with some guys that are fun to play with but the skill level isn't even 55 AA and no one on team had ever hit a home run over the fence. I brought my U's and now three of them now can't say that ever again. At the lower levels a home to single is maybe OK (how to police is tough)but at the higher levels there has to be some limits to bring back softball as I knew it. Defense has to be part of the game also. |
, Feb. 22, 2009 QC Softball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: A simple Answer is YES. Our Major plus team averages 3 home runs a game. That means we have to run the bases more and when it gets hot people tire out. Unlimited home runs take that part of softball away. Make the big guys run and play defense and let's see their batting averages drop. I pitch still in young man ball and they have home run limits yet pitchers are not getting beat-up. Oh that's right they can't use U's. Take away the U's and you can have your unlimited home runs. You shouldn't have both. Too many home runs by guys that couldn't hit home runs when they were young. |
, June 25, 2008 QC Softball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA Midwest Championships Any 55 Major Plus teams going? Travelodge 55 will be there! |
, April 13, 2008 QC Softball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Pre Indy Tournament -- Good Deal Does any one need a player for this tournament? I could really use the swings. I play outfielder (can play infield) for a 55 major+ team out of central Indiana. If you need someone contact me thru this website. |
, Sept. 5, 2007 QC Softball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ASA Nationals in NC There are only 5 players from the Travelodge Bears of 2006 and only one has Homerun power. The 2006 Travelodge Bears are gone and the players are now playing with other teams or not playing at all. Some of the players are playing as low as AAA. The Travelodge 55 team started in November of 2006 with 5 old Travelodge Bear players and a combination of AAA, Major and retired players from bordering states. The coach told the summit who would be on the team and was given a 55 Major status. There are only three 55 year old players. Everyone else is 56 years old or older. Yes Travelodge 55 got very lucky and was handed a tournament they should have come third on. They went on to win the TOC in February over a 60 year old team and W.E. Ruth (and Ruth won two of the four games over Travelodge 55). Wow! Won a three team tournament and got moved to Major Plus in 55 (not suppose to move up if less than 5 teams) Because of the money involved Travelodge didnt want to go to tournaments and play one other team in a best of three (which is what happened in Manassas, Burlington & others). Travelodge 55 asked and was granted the right to play 50 Major if they used only their 55 and older players. So until the ISA the Travelodge 55 team record was only 6 wins and 9 losses against the real 50 players. Not a real scary team. Ok yes they won a four (4) team ISA World Series. Then a four (4) team SS-USA Eastern Nationals and now finally an eight (8) team ASA National. Yes they should have to play 50 Major Plus next year by the rules even though two teams in the tournament hit more homeruns in fewer games. Travelodge 55 catches the ball and hits a lot of singles but that is not like some of the teams that can hit 37 homeruns in one game. Long winded sorry but Ive been storing this up for awhile. I read the message board about 4-5 times a week and like to read all the comments. Travelodge has always followed the rules of the summit and not taken a year off or lost games to get moved back down like some teams Ive seen. |
, June 7, 2007 QC Softball | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Lookin 4 team - Manassas What teams have you played on and at what level (also position)? We will be in Manassas and might be looking for a player. |
, May 18, 2007 QC Softball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Does your team pick tournaments they think they can win, or do you try to go to the tournaments with the most teams? I played on a 50+ Team last year that is now a 55+ team. We usually fly twice a year and drive to the rest. So our main concern for the fly tournaments was how many different teams might we see and how did the tournament people treat us. On the drive tournaments it was how many teams would be there and could everyone make that weekend. We try not to paly in back to back weekends but every year we seem to paly at least once back to back. We'll won a tournament this year (TOC) that only had three teams. Not much fun (except with the guys on my team) to see the same two teams for three days. |
, Jan. 1, 2007 QC Softball | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for 50+ (or 45) team in Greater Cincinnati area There are two teams I can think of for you out of the Cincinnat, Ohio area. Travelodge from Indianapolis IN had three players from the Cincinnati area (two might move to 55) and then there is Declare Insurance out of Sardinia, Ohio. Those are major or major plus teams. If you are looking for AAA or AA there is the Dayton Legends from Dayton OH and the Indiana Classics out of Greensburg, IN. I might add that senior softball is more expensive than young man softballer. The tournaments cost almost twice as much and because of where you are from you have to travel to play. |
, Oct. 9, 2006 QC Softball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vote on Changing SSWC Format!!!!!!!! Terry why don't you come up with two or three possible solutions and let anyone holding a Natinal SSUSA card vote on which one would work better. Give a deadline and if a member doesn't respond then they can't complain. |
, June 1, 2006 QC Softball | Topic: Bats Discussion: Ultra II's Why? I hear everything you are saying; so don't complain when I (or my team mates) hit the middle with this juiced Ultra II bat. It was outlawed in mens open divisions because of the infielders (who are much quicker than us) were unable to get out of the way. I still play open ball and hit hit one out every eight at bats with an ASA legal bat. Now you put an Ultra II in my hand. GREAT! Every bat cost about the same to make. The difference of the $300.00 Easton compared to the $200.00 Miken is called profit! And the store of .500 hitters turning into .750 hitters is and was real. |
, May 27, 2006 QC Softball | Topic: Bats Discussion: Ultra II's Why? We played in a tournament in Indianapolis the first weekend of May and everyone was allowed to swing the Miken Ultra II. Of the five games we played only two went to the seventh inning because we ran out of time. With the Ultra easy fly balls now go the base of the fence and some even go out for Home Runs. I understand why teams that can't catch or hit want these bats but why would any good softball player still want this bat allowed. The USSSA legal bats have plenty of pop and hits are hits not Home Runs. We had two guys that can't a Home Run without the Ultra hit two out each. Without the Ultra these guys can't hit .500 but with the Ultra they are .750 hitters. The Ultra needs to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Nick Jonas Split Up Delta Goodrem
Well, well, well! Fop Nick Jonas is back on the market of single hot guys! The 19-year-old singer-actor has officially broke up with girlfriend Delta Goodrem. Actually, i'm not surprised – well, she's already 27! Though they spent pretty nine months together, Nick and Delta took decisoin to go separate paths. Delta's manager said in a statement:
Nick and Delta have decided mutually to end their relationship. At this point in time, they are both focused on their careers as they go on different paths. They remain friends and wish each other the best for the future."
Their romance which lasted from May to December in 2011, just after Delta split from Australia's Got Talent judge and former boy band member Brian McFadden, her boyfriend of seven years! Though there was eight-year age difference, their relationship lived comparatively long. Nick and Delta reportedly worked on songs together and had vacation together in Mexico last fall.
Since they first began seeing each other, both stars have entered new projects, including Jonas' stint as J. Pierrepont Finch on Broadway and Goodrem's role as a coach on the Australian version of The Voice. Nick can next be seen as a guest star on the Feb. 27 episode of Smash.
Before dating Delta Goodrem, Jonas was linked to Les Miserables star Samantha Barks, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Nicole Anderson, Lucie Jones, and tons of other Hollywood starlets.

Story highlights
- The move is an expansion of a security protocol implemented at some airports abroad
- The procedure will be for passengers on the "selectee" list
- They are on government watch lists and already subjected to enhanced screening
A very limited number of airline passengers flying in the United States will be asked to turn on electronic devices while going through airport checkpoints, in an expansion of a security protocol implemented last week at some overseas airports, a U.S. official tells CNN.
The new procedure will be used for travelers on the "Selectee List" -- who are already getting enhanced screening because they are on U.S. government watch lists, the official said.
The change was implemented domestically Tuesday, and was first reported Wednesday by NBC News.
The U.S. government last week required the stepped-up security measure at airports in Europe, the Middle East and Africa to address concerns that terrorist groups are looking for new ways to sneak explosives onto aircraft. The procedure helps assure that electronic devices haven't been modified to conceal an explosive.
The change expands the protocol to include a very limited number of people on domestic flights.
From a security perspective, travelers generally fall into one of three groups -- passengers in the Pre-Check program who have been pre-cleared by the TSA; general travelers; and "selectees," those on government watch lists. Selectees are already subjected to enhanced screening, typically pat-downs and a more thorough examination of carry-on luggage.
It is this third group that will be targeted by the change, the official said.
If a selectee's electronic device is not capable of being turned on, they will be given the option of continuing without the item or of not flying, the official said.

Nate Dogg's Wife And Mother Give Up Battle For His Estate
Nate Dogg's wife (Latoya Calvin) and mother (Ruth Holmes) have recently given up on the battle over his estate, withdrawing their petition for control. His children want a professional administration for the estate and the decision to withdrawal their petition was made to avoid further conflict according to Ruth's lawyer.
The battle began when Nate Dogg tragically passed away in 2011 without leaving a will. This caused several disputes between his wife and children over how his assets should be divided. Latoya eventually took control over the estate and recently filed the petition to have Nate's mother named as co-administrator, which did not sit well with his children.
His daughter, Aundrane Hale, recently voiced her concerns to TMZ about the petition and not believing that her grandmother had her or her sibling's best interest in mind. She further stated that Ruth had kept money from them in the past and did not even attend his funeral.
Nate's children are reportedly "ecstatic," but the estate controller is yet to be determined.

Tac Scorpion 2
Hi, I recently purchased a white van and upon hearing about my new 'white van man' status, my friends decided to start pretty much using me as storage utility and amongst other things; someone who they give all their 'stuff'. I was given a tac scorpion 2 mixer and would like to sell it but have no idea how much it's worth, or where to start. It is mint condition apparently... . Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks Colin |

The Tac scorpion boards we good sounding boards and are sought after. you will need to know the number of input channels. its working condition. any bad/dirty switches. faders, controls. do you have the power supply and umbilical cable for it??
There are lots of pro audio brokers out there. Look in the back of "MIX" magazine. also look on eBay. but be warned. a piece of used pro audio gear can be worth $1 or thousands of dollars all depending on condition. operating and cosmetic. also shipping a large item such as this is problematic. these are very fragile and will need to be packed or crated and then shipped by a handler that understands dealing with electronics. also try calling some of your local recording studios and asking them who there techs are. you might be able to find one to come and check it out for you.
It's not about what you can BUY...It's about what you can BUILD! |

We started looking for natural remedies to our cats' problems, including fleas, allergies and mood swings, after realizing that our kitties were very sensitive to some of the chemical treatments we had been given at the vet. As soon as we opened a tube of Advantage, even if it was in another room, our cat P. Kitty would be nowhere in sight. But while researching holistic pet products, we learned that not all natural remedies, even those that are safe and beneficial for humans and other animals, are good for cats. Essential oils, for example, are very harmful to our furry feline friends.
posted originally from: AT:San Francisco
Cats are sensitive to essential oils for two reasons. Not only do felines have very acute senses of smell, but they also have delicate and thin skin, which allows for quicker absorption of these concentrated substances into the bloodstream. Most disturbingly, cats can't efficiently metabolize the compounds in essential oils, which can lead to toxic build-up in their bodies. It's scary to think about all those cat owners who've unknowingly used products with essential oils in their homes or directly on their pets!
Here is a list of some essential oils that are known to be toxic to cats:
• Peppermint
• Oregano
• Clove
• Sage
• Citrus oils
• Lavender
• Melaleuca (tea tree oil)
• Cinnamon (cassia)
• Wintergreen
• Thyme
• Birch
• Bergamot
• Pine
• Spruce
• Any other oils containing phenols
There's debate over whether hydrosols, a by-product made when a plant is steam distilled to extract essential oils, are also toxic to cats. Since the verdict isn't out, we're going to steer clear of any and all essential oil products in the future just in case.
For more information about the danger of essential oils to cats, go to The Lavender Cat.
The ASPCA web site also lists common house plants and household items that are toxic or dangerous to your cats and dogs.
And don't worry, the sleeping cat in the photo above is safe. Fresh lavender is not toxic to felines, only the essential oils derived from the plants are.

This unique electronic music accessory is the product of extensive research into the characteristics of human speech. The advanced solid-state circuitry which has been designed around the data obtained employs critically tuned resonant filtering to create the continuous vowel series "A,E,I,O,U" depending on pedal position. Consonant sounds can be produced by percussive input such as guitar string plucking or damping. The result is a pedal and musical instrument controlled speech synthesizer housed in an extremely durable cast metal case.

What to CookEditors' PicksAmanda & Merrill
Slow Roast Duck
- Merrill
This Christmas, my family and I went to Washington, DC to visit my sister, Abs, her husband and their two children -- the second of whom was not yet a month old. We decided to do Christmas dinner potluck-style, with my mother and me bringing the veggies, and my sister handling the main event and dessert. She bought a ham and two ducks, which my mother then proceeded to show us how to crisp perfectly on Christmas afternoon.
I had never slow roasted a duck before, and I'll admit I was a little worried about the meat drying out. But my mother insisted that her method -- taught to her by her own mother years ago -- was foolproof. We watched as she pierced the fat of the duck with a carving fork at least thirty times, both front and back, salted the bird all over, and put it in the oven at 250 degrees. As the hours went by, she would periodically remove the duck, pierce it all over again, and then return it to the oven. Once it started to look browned and slightly crisp, she carved it into pieces, turned up the heat a little and stuck the pieces back in the oven on a cookie sheet. They emerged mahogany and almost impossibly crisp and crackling.
(Note: I'll be away on my honeymoon until next week, so don't be surprised if you don't see me in the comments section!)
Slow Roast Duck
Serves 6 to 8
- 1 duck, about 5 pounds
- Kosher salt
1. Heat the oven to 250 degrees F. Remove the giblets from the cavity of the duck and rinse the bird inside and out with cold water. Dry the duck thoroughly with paper towels, including inside the cavity. Salt the cavity well.
2. Using a sharp carving fork, pierce the skin of the duck, working at an angle so you don't cut into the meat, all over. (You want to pierce it at least thirty or forty times, all over the entire bird.) Salt the skin liberally, and place the duck, breast side down, in a roasting pan. Tuck the wings behind the neck and put it in the oven.
3. Cook the duck, removing it every half hour or so and re-piercing the skin so that the fat can escape. After 2 hours, flip the duck onto its back, piercing the fat over the breast well. After about 3 hours, the duck should start to look crisp and lightly browned. At this point, turn the heat up 350 degrees F and continue to cook for another 30 minutes or so, until dark brown and very crisp. (Alternatively, you can cut the duck into pieces, arrange the pieces on a rimmed baking sheet and return them to the oven to crisp that way.) Let the duck cool for 5 to 10 minutes before carving and serving.

We took possession of Little Lamb this afternoon. We met up at Frazer's Pub on Packard Street for lunch and the transfer.
I ordered a plate of chicken nachos and a huge mess was delivered to the table - and once again, I forgot my "job" and didn't take any food pictures - Duh! The service was friendly but REALLY slow. Food was OK.
After we had our fill or bar food, the men transferred lamb from Jim's cooler to our cooler.
Packed it into Elmer's cool Mustang Convertible and drove back to the office.
The cooler was transferred to the bike trailer and peddled home.
Little Lamb turned out to be very auspicious - the Blue Ribbon winner at a Michigan county fair! As I learned today, this means that the lamb is a bit larger than average lambs and a little leaner. The hanging weight from the butcher was 90 pounds.
Phew! What a day!

Wow, that's a lot to tote! Enjoy!
This was the recipe I used for the seven-hour lamb you saw on the Simmer blog - I think I made it pretty much as written except with fennel instead of turnips. And whole cherry tomatoes instead of canned ones. I don't think either change mattered much, the technique is the main thing.

Crappy caught up with starchitect Frank Lloyd Crap at one of his earliest projects, located at 1918 Harman Street in Ridgewood. "This was created during my minimalist phase," he explained. "This was designed for the homeowner who wants little to no yard care. As you can see, I created planters, but they decided not to plant anything in them. However, they craftily used them to prevent their garbage cans from being blown all over the place, and with the weather we've had lately, that accidental benefit came in handy."
Now to the design of the house. "Communism inspired the color and the design to some extent," Mr. Crap explained.
"And you know how people 'disappeared' in Communist Russia? Well, this house doesn't even exist as per the DOB. They have the lot listed as 'vacant land' even though there clearly has always been a building here," he said. The new owner wanted that 'please-don't-rob-me' look, so I created something that no one would believe that people live in."

The new Superman movie is trying to break the connection to the old ones. If the goal is to make something so it is as if nothing previous happened, then you don't use the same music. You just can't have a completely clean break and fresh start when you leave 1 foot rooted in the past.
I get that people adore the Williams theme - I do too. But as someone who has enjoyed Superman in all media, its not the "Superman theme" to me, its the "Chris Reeve Superman theme".

I bet the majority of kids today have never even seen the Reeve Superman movies.

Willem Timmerman (i.e., carpenter), an Anabaptist martyr, was arrested at Antwerp, Belgium, in 1567 because of Anabaptism and imprisoned in the Steen castle. Having escaped in April of that year he was banished from the Antwerp territory forever; upon his return to Antwerp he was captured and burned at the stake on 12 October 1569. Particulars are lacking.
