When to use chain drives or belt drives?
Electric motors typically operate at too high speed e.g. 1500 rpm and deliver too low torque e.g. 1.8 N.m to be appropriate for the final drive application. These figures are taken from 0.25 kW motor specs of some manufacturers just to get an idea. For a given power transmission, the torque is increased in proportion to the amount that rotational speed is reduced. So the method of speed reduction is usually required for normal mechanical power transmission system.
Usually, we use belt drives for first stage reduction because of high speed of the motor. A smaller drive pulley is attached to the motor shaft which runs at high speed, while a larger diameter pulley is attached to the parallel shaft that operates at a correspondingly lower speed.
" Usually, we use belt drives for first stage reduction because of high speed of the motor..."However, we can imagine that for the very large ratios of speed reduction, gear reducers are desirable because they can typically accomplish large reductions in a rather small package. The output shaft of the gear-type speed reducer is generally at low speed and high torque. If both speed and torque are satisfactory for the application, it could be directly coupled to the driven machine.
However, the output of gear reducers must often be reduced more before meeting the requirements of the machine because the gear reducers are available only at discrete reduction ratios. At the low-speed, high-torque condition, chain drives become desirable. The high torque causes high tensile force in the chain. The chains normally made of metal and they can withstand the high forces.
" At the low-speed, high-torque condition, chain drives become desirable..."In general, belt drives are used where the rotational speeds are relatively high, which results in relatively low tensile forces in the belt. But at lower speed, the tensile force in the belt becomes too large for typical belt cross sections and may lead to slipping between sides of the belt and pulleys (or sheaves)

How do you say "conspiracy theory" in Spanish? Ah yes, teoría de la conspiración. José Blanco, Spain's development minister and the man delegated to explain to London investors on Monday why they should stick with the country's bonds, thinks there is a conspiracy by financial markets and the international media to take down the euro.
So my colleague Izabella Kaminska pointed out on Alphaville. And the Spanish media went bonkers, because the FT had (quite wrongly) already become the focus of their story about Elena Salgado, the economy minister, visiting London. Here's El Mundo:
'FT' se burla de la 'paranoia' de Blanco mientras Salgado da explicaciones sobre España
El Financial Times llama «paranoico» al Gobierno el día que recibe a Salgado
And Nueva Tribuna:
FT llama "paranoico" al Gobierno español
Expansión was more rational, treating the story as a minor item, while bloggers – and, for poor Izabella, angry Spanish readers – poured out their scorn at the capitalist system, as exemplified by the FT and the "especuladores" in the bond markets.
They need to pull themselves together. The media is just carrying the message of the markets here: bond buyers see a risk that Spain's budget plan is not going to be enough to stabilise the deficit and cut borrowing. The Spanish press should be telling their readers the government needs to explain better how it will enforce its cost-cutting plans (the markets remain sceptical given the risk of provoking serious political opposition by doubling up the recession), rather than attacking the international media.
Still, at least the level of outrage helps explain why the Spanish (and perhaps the Portuguese) governments are so touchy about being lumped in with Greece in a certain unfortunate acronym.

Bank of Montreal's better-than-expected credit performance is expected to kick off warm, fuzzy feelings for the entire sector.
BMO continued to exceed analyst expectations by putting up quarterly results on Wednesday that included lower-than-expected loan loss provisions. Analyst John Aiken at Barclays Capital said: "We believe that BMO's results set a very positive tone for earnings this quarter."
"Improving credit quality should help all of the banks, although the lack of improvement in credit card impairments may mean that CIBC may not generate the same overall improvements, given its relative exposure," said Mr. Aiken. CIBC has the largest credit card loan portfolio among Canadian banks.
Bank of Montreal's investment dealer arm also had a strong quarter, and Mr. Aiken said that bodes well for Royal Bank of Canada and National Bank, which both draw a relatively high percentage of their revenues from capital markets.
In an observation that will be well received at BMO, Mr. Aiken pointed out that this bank has established a track record for outperformance, and rivals may not keep pace.
"We caution that BMO has outperformed in terms of earnings over the past two quarters," said the Barclays analyst. "While it does look like the banks can exceed consensus based on BMO's results, if the previous quarters are an indication, the remaining banks may not generate the same strength in their positive surprises."Report Typo/Error

text: No, because whatever it meant for ancient pagans, for Christians Easter is the celebration of Christ's Resurrection. The fact that when it was first celebrated the feast of the Resurrection coincided with pagan celebrations doesn't mean it was derived from them. The Jewish Passover (on which Christ was crucified) also coincided with such celebrations, yet this didn't mean it was pagan. As for Easter eggs, there's nothing wrong with painting or hunting them on Easter--provided the real meaning of the day isn't lost. As with the days of the week (the names of which are of pagan origin), any peculiarly pagan significance attached to Easter eggs was forgotten centuries ago.

Nancy Aronie
Website: www.chilmarkwritingworkshop.com
Nancy Aronie is a graduate of the University of Virginia, has degrees in drama and english, and has been described as the "feminist Irma Bombeck of the nineties." Aronie has been a commentator on National Public Radio's All Things Considered, has written a monthly column for McCall's Magazine, been an editor at Lear's, taught at the high school and college level, as well as been a stand-up comic, actress, and physical fitness instructor. All of this has contributed to her wit and wisdom. In her writing and speaking she brings humorous insights to many common human situations. She has also been a writer and performer for the Emmy award-winning mini-series Catch a Rainbow, produced by Boston's Channel 5. Aronie lives on Martha's Vineyard, where she continues her work with the Chilmark Writing Workshop, which she founded in 1990.
While in residence, Aronie pored over Gardner's scrapbooks in the Museum's archives, and subsequently wrote an imagined conversation between herself and Isabella Gardner, which she enacted during her lecture I Know This Woman; She's So Creative. The lecture concluded that season's Eye of the Beholder lecture series, and Aronie discussed creativity as process, and challenged "a culture that worships the end result, the thing you can buy in the bookstore, the thing you can hang on your wall," making the case that creativity "can't be framed or packaged–it just happens."
Aronie also worked in close collaboration with education staff and fifth grade teachers and students from the Farragut Elementary School, Lawrence Elementary and Middle School, and Tobin Elementary and Middle School during her residency. Students explored the collection with Aronie and were encouraged to believe in their unique ability to understand what they see and creatively share their feelings and insights with others. Aronie worked with the students to encourage creative thinking and imagining based on works of art discussed and examined by the group. Students were asked to record, with words and drawings, their feelings and thoughts about their experience while at the Gardner and to create stories of their own which they then developed later in the classroom. In follow-up visits to each classroom, students shared their writing with Aronie and she facilitated an active dialogue with them about their work.

Steelers linebacker Spence confident he can avoid injury setbacks
Sean Spence is entering his third year with the Steelers, but he has yet to step on the field for a regular-season game.
Instead, the inside linebacker's NFL career to date is defined by a gruesome snapshot.
The third-round draft pick out of Miami showed promise in the summer of his rookie season in 2012. A first-team All-ACC linebacker the year prior, Spence figured to be a major special teams player with a chance to work into the defensive rotation.
But in the third quarter of his final preseason game as a rookie, all optimism was thrown out the window. Spence chased down and lunged at then-Carolina Panthers quarterback Jimmy Clausen, severely hyperextending his left knee as his cleats caught in the Heinz Field grass.
In a horrific split-second, Spence suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament and lateral cruciate ligament, dislocating his kneecap and causing peroneal nerve damage.
Spence missed the 2012 season with the knee injury. After just one practice in pads in 2013, Spence was placed on injured reserve again when he suffered a finger injury that required surgery.
"That's a sad case," fellow inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons said. "As an athlete, you hate to see that. I know he's just champing at the bit right now to show what he can do."
Monday was Spence's first padded Steelers practice in months. Amid questions of whether he will be able to return to his post-college form, Day 1 with heavy contact was productive.
Spence powerfully drove his legs on wet grass in a one-on-one drill against several fullbacks and tight ends and ran laterally in 11-on-11 drills without a hitch.
Coach Mike Tomlin paid him one of the best compliments available to a player returning from injury: He didn't notice.
"I really didn't think a lot about it today because we've had a great deal of comfort of where he is for some time," Tomlin said. "I know (Spence is) glad to be back out there and has a smile on his face."
The excitement and anticipation of hitting full-speed are welcome emotions for Spence, who admittedly struggled through some of the "dark moments" after the injury.
"It's very difficult, man. Like I said, I cried myself to sleep some nights," Spence said. "It was tough watching the games and sitting in meetings and not being a part of the team or the game plan."
Spence said he passed his first test in being able to weather his first series of hits Monday, coming away feeling "100 percent."
Confronting the uncertainty surrounding him is something Spence is used to, though. After all, he wasn't even supposed to return to the field.
"It's just how I was raised," Spence said. "I've never been a person to quit, and I'm never going to be that person."

Posted 14/11/2012
Those scurvy MVM dogs have pulled a fast one and announced exclusively to UKA that those Bodacious Space Pirates has been moved UP the schedules (is this an anime first?) to Late January/Early February 2013!
Considering the title was posted as "late 2013" this is a major bit of manouvering by MVM, bringing us one of the biggest titles of the year way earlier than expected.
Take that other UK distributors!
The set is being released across two English dubbed and subtitled 2-disc sets, featuring 13 episodes a set. The series is currently only being slated for a DVD release, unless a suitable deal with Australian distributor Hanabee to share Blu-Ray production costs emerges.
What a way to start the new year, eh?

In one of those cosmic coincidences of timing, just as the Leveson inquiry in the UK paints journalists in the worst possible light, HBO is on Sunday launching The Newsroom, a new series from Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, The West Wing) that will paint journalists – well, TV journalists – in a relatively promising light: trying, most of the time, to be good. Even though I'm of the print species, I, for one, am glad.

Greedy shorts! That's what I am thinking about when it comes to Lululemon Athletica (LULU) today, and I am not talking about its latest yoga pants, where the company is most certainly greedy with the price it asks you to pay.
I am talking about the short squeeze that we are getting in Lululemon today from short-sellers who didn't cover on the bad news we got last quarter.
What was that bad news about? I can summarize it in one word: Inventory, as in too much inventory. That was the rap, that's what drove it down, and that's what gave you an amazing chance to cover the stock if you were betting against it. After all, the stock had plummeted from $63 down to $43, with the coup de grace being that last 20% lop off from November's high.
Here's the irony. What's causing the rally today? Inventory! That's right, it looks like that Lululemon had so much of the right inventory that it was able to blow the numbers away, an extraordinary performance that defies all the conventional thinking of what happens when you have too much inventory, notably that your product no longer has cache and there's going to be severe price-cutting ahead. Once you get price-cutting, you can almost never return to full price.
Now the stock is all the way back to where it started its descent, and I think that people are going to have to rethink the negatives here. For me, the stock is expensive. I would be thrilled to ring the register except for the fact that I doubt the shorts are done with the name. If that's the case, there's more pain ahead for them and more pleasure ahead for the longs.

The Commission of Audit has criticised the government's proposed paid parental leave scheme as excessive at a time when fiscal restraint is needed.
The Australian Financial Review understands the commission's interim report, delivered to the government 13 days ago, supports the concept of paid parental leave but finds that Mr Abbott's scheme is too generous given the state of budget.
Mr Abbott's scheme, to begin on July 1, 2015, will cost about $5.5 billion a year. It would pay recipients their full wage for six months, capped at an annual salary of $150,000, or $75,000 for six months.
The policy, which would replace Labor's taxpayer-funded scheme which pays the minimum wage for 18 weeks, is deeply unpopular with big business. Organisations such as the Business Council of Australia, the Australian Industry Group and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry have called for it to be scrapped or pared right back.
The audit commission finding will make the government's pre-budget hard sell complicated as it begins to prepare the public for spending cuts and restraints in health, welfare and education to keep the budget sustainable.
Treasurer Joe Hockey says the budget is structurally unsustainable and that without tackling spending growth, debt will balloon to $667 billion within a decade.
The government is seeking to end the "age of entitlement'' and will target middle-class welfare in the May budget.
Last week, based on recommendations contained in the audit, Health Minister Peter Dutton began preparing the public for the means-testing of some Medicare services such as bulk billing and pathology.
Mr Hockey spoke of the need for restraint in health, welfare and defence and said there needed to be a debate about raising the retirement age beyond Labor's policy of 67 years by 2020. He said failing to find structural problems now amounted to "inter-generational theft''.
In Parliament this week, Mr Abbott stood by his paid parental leave scheme when shadow families minister Jenny Macklin asked him why it was "fair to cut the age pension while at the same time paying $75,000 to wealthy women to have a baby''.
Mr Abbott said he wanted "to do the right thing by the women of Australia''.
"I want the women of Australia to have a fair go to have a career and to have a family. That is what a fair dinkum, paid parental leave scheme is about,'' he said.
"It is a historic reform and it will happen under this Coalition government."
'Unfairness ... extravagance'
Shadow treasurer Chris Bowen said: "This is a massive embarrassment for the Prime Minister. This is his signature policy and his commission of cuts is telling him to get rid of it."
Mr Bowen said the government shouldn't need the audit commission to tell it to drop its "expensive and unfair" scheme.
"The Prime Minister should be listening to elderly people on the aged pension or low and middle income earners who need to take their kids to a GP, all of who understand the unfairness and extravagance of this ridiculous policy," he said.
Neither the government nor members of the audit commission would comment.
The finding will complicate plans within government to release the report as early as possible before the May 13 budget so the public can be educated on the need for cuts. Mr Hockey is keen for an early release but there are believed to be differences of opinion within government.
Mr Hockey told Parliament on Wednesday that Australia has made a global commitment as part of its leadership of the Group of 20 to rein in the budget.
Failure to return to a sustainable surplus that meant the nation could "live within our means" could result in the problems that "have beset the world over the last few years come back again".
"There are only hard solutions and the whole nation . . . needs to do the heavy lifting."
In a speech on Monday night, in which he spoke of the need for long-term reduction in spending on health and education, Mr Abbott said that by November, he wanted the Parliament to have passed a 1.5 percentage point reduction to company tax.
This reduction will not be given to the nation's biggest 3200 business. The revenue from the retained tax will instead be used to help fund the parental scheme.
Mr Abbott first conceived the scheme in 2010 when he was perceived to have a problem with women voters. He did not run the idea past the Liberal party room or shadow cabinet beforehand and, over the years, has rejected overtures from colleagues to abandon it. Nowadays, the Coalition argues it is a productivity measure.
The Nationals remain uncomfortable about the policy and from time to time issue threats to oppose the legislation when it comes before Parliament.
The government has the support of the Greens to pass the legislation through the Senate. The Greens' key demand is that the wage cap be reduced to $100,000. This will have little impact on the scheme's budgetary impact because the overwhelming majority of women of childbearing age earn under $100,000.
In its submission to the government's Productivity Commission review into child care, Ai Group chief executive Innes Willox called for the "gold-plated scheme" to be rescinded and for the current Labor scheme to be retained.
"This would remove the need for the proposed 1.5 per cent levy on businesses and would allow additional funding to be devoted to childcare measures,'' Mr Willox said.
The Grattan Institute said in November that the bulk of the benefit would go to middle and high-income earning women.

Flames Wrestler Draws Hometown Media Attention
An All-State performer in three sports at American Christian Academy, Judson Miller hoped to become a collegiate athlete, but at times his prospects seemed to be diminishing. Then he got a call from Jesse Castro.
Miller established a precedent for the ACA wrestling program by accepting a scholarship to Liberty University. Castro, a former collegiate wrestler, returned to his alma mater to revive the program. Liberty, located in Lynchburg, Va., sanctioned wrestling from 1974-1994.

Washington, July 3 (ANI): A new research has found that when red blood cells are hit with laser light, they produce high frequency sound waves that contain a great deal of information.
Similar to the way one can hear the voices of different people and identify who they are, investigators could analyze the sound waves produced by red blood cells and recognize their shape and size.
The information may aid in the development of simple tests for blood-related diseases.
"We plan to make specialized devices that will allow the detection of individual red blood cells and analyze the photoacoustic signals they produce to rapidly diagnose red blood cell pathologies," senior author Dr. Michael Kolios, of Ryerson University, Toronto, said.
Deviations from the regular biconcave shape of a red blood cell are a significant indicator of blood-related diseases, whether they result from genetic abnormalities, from infectious agents, or simply from a chemical imbalance.
For example, malaria patients' red blood cells are irregularly swollen, while those of patients with sickle cell anemia take on a rigid, sickle shape.
Using a special photoacoustic microscope that detects sound, the investigators were able to differentiate healthy red blood cells from irregularly shaped red blood cells with high confidence, using a sample size of just 21 cells.
Because each measurement takes only fractions of a second, the method could eventually be incorporated into an automated device for rapid characterization of red blood cells from a single drop of blood obtained in the clinic.
The findings are published in the Biophysical Journal, published by Cell Press. (ANI)

Easy Garlic Chicken
Recipe by ElleFirebrand
A quick, easy chicken recipe for days when you don't want to spend time in the kitchen. Even finicky people will eat it. Goes great with traditional potatoes or rice. As it bakes, the garlic and sugar will melt into a sweet glaze. Customize with your favorite herbs or spices. After many comments, I have reduced the temperature at which to cook the chicken. I have also added instructions to wrap your baking sheet or casserole dish in aluminum foil for easier clean-up.
Top Review by falcons84
The basics were there for this recipe, and with the help of some of the comments, we had a lovely, easy weekday dinner! Used 3 tbsp brown sugar instead of 4, browned the chicken in butter beforehand, added a splash of cooking sherry and chicken stock, plus parsley flakes, oregano, basil and thyme, cooked at 425 F for 20 minutes and broiled for about 5-10 minutes more. Topped with more parsley flakes and fresh ground pepper and it was great.

Bardwil takes Lenox Accoutrements to bath
September 15, 2008,
New York – In line with the launch by the well-recognized tabletop brand Lenox of its own bath accessories program, bath textiles licensee Bardwil Linens is expanding its program with the new Accoutrements collection.
Artist Anna Griffin, who originally created the Accoutrements designs long popular in Lenox's dinnerware line, joined forces with Linda Kulla, vp of the Lenox team at Bardwil, to shape the new collection, Accoutrements serves, as its French name suggests, to "outfit" the bathroom.
"Together we reinterpreted Anna's exquisite designs for this bath collection," Kulla said. "The bath collection strives to stay true to Anna's mission."
Griffin described her Accoutrements artwork as, "sophisticated yet accessible. It is above all else beautiful. The patterns are inspired by antique imagery that honors the past and yet is reinterpreted for today."
With Griffin's signature rose motif as the center of all the patterns, this 100% cotton collection of bath towels, shower curtains, hooks and a rug come in a variety of styles; all are made to mix and match.
There are three towel ensembles – a printed towel titled Brier Rose, in a multi-colored palette on a cream ground; a jacquard grouping called Charlotte, available in four solid colors; and four embroidered ensembles in the same palettes as the jacquard group.
The Brier Rose printed towel is set to retail for $14.99.
Charlotte towels come in blue, pink, cream and green, priced at $16.99.
The embroidered towel designs are Bailey Rose; Prim Rose; Cayla Rose; and Gracelyn Rose. They come in blue, pink, cream and green ground colorways and are set to retail for $16.99.
In shower curtains there is Brier Rose, printed on a jacquard fabric and made to marry to the printed towels. Its counterpart is a woven jacquard, Climbing Rose, in the same four colors as the coordinating towels – blue, pink, green and cream. Both shower curtains are made of a cotton/polyester-blended fabric and are priced at $29.99.
The single grouping of shower curtain hooks comes in the form of antique sculpted roses accented with a gold trim and are priced at $19.99.
There is also one bath rug titled Cornelia. It is a tabletop tufted and sheared 100% cotton piece accented with a hand-crocheted border – that comes in cream to tie in with the line. It is priced at $29.99.
Bardwil's Lenox Accoutrements bath collection debuts one year since the company presented its Accoutrements table linens collection.

The Glacier
a novel by
Jeff Wood
"Call Jeff Wood's The Glacier what you will—a novel-in-screenplay-form; a prose poem on the themes of death, suburbia, and the cruel symmetries of cosmic time; a surreal prophecy from America's anguished heartland—it will remain what it was always aiming to be, and that's one of the most indelible and visionary movies you've ever seen."
—Jon Raymond, author of Old Joy, Wendy and Lucy, and Meek's Cutoff
The Glacier is a spellbinding work in the spirit of Tarkovsky or Jodorowsky that reimagines the American frontier at the turn of the millennium, a time when suburban development was metastasizing and the Social was about to implode. Following a caterer at a convention center, a surveyor residing in a storage unit, and the masses lining up for an Event on the horizon, The Glacier is a poetic rendering of the pre-apocalypse and a requiem for the passing of one world into another.
The Glacier by Jeff Wood =
* In most cases, none of these writers endorse this book. Our math formulas are supposed to be amusing anecdotes, similar to shelf-talkers in bookstores that say "If you like X, you might enjoy Y," or "This Book is like Cormac McCarthy writing an episode of Saved by the Bell with a soundtrack by Philip Glass."
"Rendered partly as prose poem—paragraphs strung down the pages like a necklace—and partly as sharply delivered play-script... this novel highlights the hollowness of rapid suburban growth at the turn of the millennium... Gorgeously and urgently written."
—Library Journal, starred review
"Jeff Wood's The Glacier is an innovatively told book, a truly cinematic novel."
—Largehearted Boy, Book Notes series
"The Glacier is altogether new and incredibly familiar at the same time. It's the story of what was and what can be, simultaneously. It seduces you slowly, the reader hypnotized from the first page."
—Heavy Feather Review
"Jeff Wood's new book, described as "a novel in screenplay form," looks at the current state of civilization, and its possible ending."
—Vol. 1 Brooklyn
"A true art movie bound into a book, in part for its radical, even possibly unprecedented, form. The Glacier unfolds during a turn-of-the-millenium construction boom, as Midwestern forests and fields are transformed into superstores, corporate centers, and endless suburban housing developments."
—Recommended reading: Jeff Wood talks to Jon Raymond at Late Night Library
Jeff Wood is an actor and writer from Ohio currently living in Berlin. He is a founding member of the experimental film/art group Rufus Corporation and a Wallabout Oyster Theatre Player. His 10-year collaboration with Eve Sussman and Rufus Corporation produced the works 89 Seconds at Alcazar; The Rape of the Sabine Women; whiteonwhite:algorithmicnoir; and numerous international screenings including the MoMA, SFMOMA, The Smithsonian, The Whitney, and the Toronto, Berlin, Thessaloniki and Sundance Film Festivals.

A novice so excuse my ignorance when I ask - At restaurants that charge an extra surcharge, is that the only extra cost or is the price of the meal also additional?
Hi Cape townbear, and welcome to cruise-chat.com!
Generally, the surcharge includes the cost of the food. You'll pay extra for alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages other than tap water, iced tea, hot tea, or non-specialty coffees. In some restaurants, there will be an extra charge above the surcharge for some items. For instance, LeBistro offers (at least the last time I was there) a surf-and-turf option that included lobster that came with extra cost. Even so, there are plenty of options within the restaurants that do not require payment above the surcharge.
Thanks LisaP - helps figure out the on board budget.
Rarely do I eat at one of the pay-for-restaurants....usually the meals at the regular restaurants are as good or better than what you will get at home:-)....but if it's in the budget, try one of the pay for places....But most of all, enjoy the cruise and then come back again......Happy sailing...

Chicken and Olive Mole Casserole Recipe
My Southwestern chicken casserole makes the perfect party dish when you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary. The mole sauce lends an authentic flavor, and folks are always pleasantly surprised to taste a little sweetness from the chocolate. —Barbara White, Livingston, Texas
- 2 large onions, finely chopped, divided
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons chili powder
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 ounce semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 6 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 12 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
- 1 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives
- 4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1. In a large saucepan, saute 1 cup onion in oil until tender. Reduce heat to low. Add the garlic, salt, oregano, cumin and cinnamon; cover and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in chili powder and flour until blended. Gradually stir in broth. Bring to a boil. Cook until mixture is reduced to 3 cups, about 35 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in chocolate.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine chicken and 1/2 cup sauce. Spread 1/2 cup sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with half of the tortillas, chicken mixture, remaining onion and olives; top with 1 cup sauce and 2 cups cheese. Repeat layers.
- 3. Cover and bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 8 servings.

Reviews for Chicken and Olive Mole Casserole
Average Rating
Reviewed Mar. 23, 2016
"This is very close to authentic Mexican mole. We do not use so much garlic, onions or olives though. One large onion is sufficient for us.This is a very easy recipe that is similar to ours and really beats the store bought mole.Many people think that they need 20 or more ingredients to make a good chocolate mole but it is not true. Many families have traditionally added certain things to mole that are left over in the kitchen. As long as they are neutral flavors like seeds, nuts, toast, etc. they get tossed in the mix after being pulverized.I always add a little agave syrup giving it a tiny bit of sweetness."
Reviewed Aug. 4, 2014
"This sounds very good, but an easier recipe would be to just buy the jarred Mole sauce which is just as good. All you have to do is mix it with some chicen broth. It would cut out all those extra ingredients"

1. Turn off your phone
2. Turn the phone on by either holding down the volume down button and power button at the same time OR by holding down the back button and power button at the same time.
3. When the screen comes up, it should say somewhere on the first line either 32A or 32B. THAT is your motherboard version. Remember it…
4. Turn off and on the phone.
5. Goto Settings > Applications > and make sure Unknown sources is checked ON.
1. Download this APK and the appropriate recovery image for your motherboard (32A or 32B) and save it to your computer:
FlashRec.apk (Updated: 09/26/09)
Amon Ra's Recovery Image (32B)(Updated 11.18.09)
Amon Ra's Recovery Image (32A)(Updated 11.18.09)
2. Once they are saved to your computer, copy them both to your SD card (do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them on the SD card itself).
3. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
4. Goto the Market and download Linda File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
5. Open the file manager and goto SDCard and then find the FlashRec apk file and click it. If asked tell it to use Package Installer to open it. It should automatically install the apk.
6. Open the FlashRec program and click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish.
7 (FOR 32A ONLY) Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type:
7 (FOR 32B ONLY) Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type:
8. Then click on the Flash Custom RecoveryImage button and wait for it to finish.
9. Turn off the phone and turn it on into Recovery mode by holding down Home and Power to turn it on (keep holding until the recovery screen comes up has a bunch of text on a black background). So long as that screen comes up, you have done it correctly and can now go on to the How to Load a ROM video for your appropriate device!
10. To get Root access you MUST go to the next video mentioned above and load a custom ROM.
Reported Issues
Issue: I get Invalid Recovery Image when using the FlashRec program.
Solution: Make sure that the spell correction and auto completion are OFF in the Text Settings (Settings > Locale and Text > Touch Input > Text Input then turn off Prediction, spell correction, and word completion) of your phone. If not then it may put in spaces where they do not belong. (I had it put a space after .img and couldn't see it so couldn't figure out why it kept saying invalid recovery image, like you guys).
Other than that, just make sure it is on the root of the SD card (not in any folder) and that you are typing in the recovery name and filepath correctly.
Then and it should show Flash Recovery Image.
Issue: When I download the FlashRec.apk it shows up as a .zip not an apk.
Solution: No problem. Do NOT extract it, just simply replace the .zip with .apk and then proceed with the procedure.
Issue: I get backup failed or flash failed when I try to use the FlashRec progam.
Solution: This is most likely because you already have a custom recovery image, please use one of the unrooting procedures to get back to the original recovery image and THEN you can use this procedure.
Also, instead of doing that, if you have root access, you can just put the recovery image on your SD card then go into Terminal (download it from the Market if you don't already have it) and type:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img

Plain and simply the answer is yes. Of course it is not recommended. I started with weed, went to coke, then x, finally made my way to vics, percs, oxys, and eventually roxies... and heroin. You are on a downward spiral my friend.... but anyway... how to have fun:
If you have ever messed with heroin, it is the same concept as chasin the dragon.
Get a piece of aluminum foil, about 5" x 5"
IMPORTANT: 'cure' the shiny side of the aluminum foil, this is done by holding a lighter (i prefer to just use a stove) and move the shiny side around, you should see some smoke and it will eventually stop meaning you are done... it usually takes around 20 seconds.
Make yourself a tooter by getting a pen and wrapping another 5" x 5" piece of aluminum foil around it making sure you crimp the top together as you pull the pen out... or you could just use the pen or the straw ( roxies wont leave a residue like heroin does on an aluminum foil tooter so just use a pen and save sometime)
Put a piece of the roxie in the middle of the aluminum foil ( start with about a quarter of one)
Get one of those cheap adjustable lighters and set it to the lowest flame.
Make sure you have your tooter right BEHIND your roxy before you begin lighting and that you are constantly inhaling while you have the flame lit
You are lighting from underneath the aluminum foil while your roxy is on the shiny side... remember that you aren't trying to 'smoke' the roxy but rather vaporize it and inhale the vapor which appears as smoke. if you are inhaling smoke that means you have burnt the roxy which breaks down the binders and you most likely won't feel anything.
Anyway, while you are lighting from underneath and inhaling you need to start turning the foil so that the roxy starts moving and at this point it should be a little liquid droplet.... just keep inhaling till it turns black

The digerati are having fun with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ruling that US companies can use social media to distribute market-sensitive information such as earnings reports. "Facebook Flap Forces SEC Into 21st Century," says Forbes.
Not so fast. The US regulator's decision to drop its inquiry into Reed Hastings, Netflix's chief executive, who boasted about new viewing figures on his personal Facebook page, is only an incremental advance into the new millennium. It makes sense for the SEC to acknowledge the growing use of social media (I'm guessing more people saw Mr Hastings' Facebook post than have viewed any regulatory announcement in corporate history), but I don't think the decision will prompt fearful CEOs to tweet their earnings much more than they do already – and, even if it does, it won't make much difference to investors.

My Fair Lady: 50th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray)
Posted in Disc Reviews by John Ceballos on October 30th, 2015
"She's quite a common girl, very common indeed."
Of course, we don't need 50 years of hindsight — or more than 100 years, if you want to go all the way back to the original 1913 staging of George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" — to know that there's nothing common about cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle. And there's nothing ordinary about 1964's My Fair Lady, the beloved Oscar-winning musical that now gets an uncommonly (but appropriately) lavish 50th anniversary Blu-ray update courtesy of Paramount.

International expert visits Worthington for presentation on human trafficking
By Gretchen O'Donnell
WORTHINGTON — A standing-room-only crowd filled the conference room at the University of Minnesota Extension offices Tuesday as Lauren Ryan of the International Institute of Minnesota spoke on a topic that many people would rather sweep under the rug — not because they approve of it, but because it's terrible to think about.
Human trafficking, however, cannot be ignored. Entailing two separate components — sex slavery and labor slavery — human trafficking occurs across the nation and world … and yes, it even occurs here in Minnesota.
"In Minnesota we see labor trafficking in the workplace, in households, in restaurants, in factories, hotels and agriculture," said Ryan, program manager of Anti-Trafficking Services for the Northern Tier Anti-Trafficking Consortium.
"The victims may be U.S. citizens or foreign nationals," Ryan continued. "We see sex trafficking on the street, in massage parlors, strip clubs, escort services, in online exploitation and brothels. It could be happening in the house next door."
With a matter-of-fact tone that did not over-emotionalize the issue, Ryan talked about the most vulnerable populations.
"African Americans and Native Americans are disproportionally affected by trafficking," she explained. "So are minors. Human trafficking is not limited to women or to runaways. Men can be trafficked for agricultural work. Children are sold to pimps. Domestic servants are coerced into working for no pay, 24/7, because they're afraid that their families back home will be hurt if they don't comply.
"Often, people don't even identify themselves as victims of a crime. They think that this is normal."
In 2012, a total of 15,362 phone calls came in to the Polaris Project hotline, a national phone line for victims and survivors of human trafficking. Ninety-five of those calls were from Minnesota, and that's up from 78 Minnesota calls in 2010. Not everyone calls the hotline, though.
"We dealt with 587 sex trafficking cases in 2011 and 52 labor trafficking cases," Ryan said.
The International Labor Organization estimates that 20.9 million people are enslaved worldwide. It says approximately 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders annually, and that 14,500 to 17,500 people are trafficked within the U.S. alone.
Statistics also say that within 48 hours of running away, a child will be propositioned for sex.
"Anyone under the age of 18 who is taken in for prostitution is automatically treated as a sex trafficking case," Ryan said. "They are victims, not criminals."
Humans are very valuable resources to traffickers.
"Humans can be used over and over again — unlike drugs, which you take and then it's gone," Ryan said.
Foreign-born victims of trafficking have special needs that are compounded by the fact that often they don't qualify for financial services, especially if they're undocumented workers. Still, there are certain visas for which non-citizen victims of criminal activity may qualify.
Interestingly, being "undocumented" is not limited to foreign-born victims of this type of abuse. Often, in a demonstration of the power and control traffickers typically exert over their victims, the abused will have their drivers' licenses or other forms of identification taken away by their trafficker. In fact, this can be a sign that something is wrong.
"Having no access to documents is definitely a red flag," Ryan explained. "It may mean that their trafficker is withholding the papers so that the person is further under his control.
"Also watch for signs of assault, of malnourishment, of body language," she added. "Victims may be paid little or nothing or owe huge debts to a person. They may suddenly have a new and controlling boyfriend, have a change in their social circle, or suddenly display a lack of interest in school. They may have very little knowledge of the town they've lived in for five years because they aren't allowed outside of the house without their boyfriend. They may have a well-rehearsed story to explain their lives."
Ryan said the job of concerned citizens is to poke holes in such stories. If something seems "not right" with an acquaintance, then questions such as, "What type of work do you do? Can you quit your job if you want to? Where do you sleep and eat?" are important, and should be asked apart from their companion(s) if possible.
"Victims may think they're truly in love with their trafficker," Ryan said. "They will be afraid. They might not even think anyone will believe their story. They may blame themselves for their situation. They are often unaware of the resources available to help them."
Once a victim of a human trafficking is identified, the services needed are very close to those required by victims of domestic abuse.
"We do a safety assessment," Ryan explained. "We give them trauma and/or chemical dependency counseling. They may have doctor or dental issues that we help with. We give them legal assistance, and we provide places for them to live.
"Victims of trafficking can be your neighbor, your classmate, your fellow employee," she said. "If you suspect that someone you know is a victim of trafficking, be cautious. Contact a direct service provider, law enforcement officer or call a hot line. Educate yourself so that you know what to look for. Be the eyes and ears in your community. Don't keep quiet."
Sara Wahl, director of the Southwest Crisis Center in southwest Minnesota, is hopeful more local discussion on this topic will be forthcoming. The center has contracted with the Northern Tier Anti-Trafficking Consortium to provide a wide variety of services to victims and survivors of both labor and sex trafficking in Minnesota.
"We are the only provider of this service in southwest Minnesota," Wahl said. "It is so easy to think that trafficking happens only in a big city, but it also happens in small towns."
For further information, contact the Southwest Crisis Center at 376-4311 or email firstname.lastname@example.com, or call the national hotline or Polaris Project at 1-888-373-7888 or the Minnesota hotline at 1-866-223-1111.

Miss America asks York school to rethink prom question suspension
YORK — Miss America is asking a Pennsylvania school district to reconsider the punishment of a high school student who asked her to the prom during an assembly about the importance of science, technology, engineering and math studies.
The York Dispatch reported Sunday that Nina Davuluri posted a statement on the Miss America Organization's Facebook site saying she contacted Central York High School to ask it to reconsider the three days of in-school suspension issued to 18-year-old Patrick Farves.
Davuluri says her travel schedule will prevent her from attending the dance with the high school senior.
School officials had learned ahead of time about Farves' stunt and warned him not to do it.
He's apologized for disrupting the Thursday event.

Hawaii to Sydney with family and friends: Carnival Spirit Cruise Review by PJOZ
Overall Member Rating
Hawaii to Sydney with family and friends
Destination: South Pacific
Embarkation: Honolulu
A long line for embarkation but we weren't in a rush to board because once we sailed we had 5 sea days to Tahiti and I wasn't quite sure how we'd handle them, we have only had 2 in a row before. We got on board eventually and found our cabin which was fantastic. A 9B Premium Balcony, the cabin is a bit larger than normal and a square shape and the balcony was very big, with a lounger out there as well as a small table and chairs. The balcony door is very heavy, it is the first time I have wished I took a bungee cord to keep More it open. This would also shut off the air conditioning which I wanted to do as the cabin and the whole ship was absolutely freezing, it was like an arctic blast when you walked into the Lido from the pool. I will summarise a bit otherwise this will go forever:
- overall we had a great time, found it to be relaxed and unpretentious, a real emphasis on having fun which we liked
- we enjoyed the comedy shows (lots of them) some better than others but some really great. Loved Doug Funk and another guy whose name I didn't get who performed on his own one night then I was hoping he would be on again the next night but it was the other comedian who had missed the boat the day before!Didn't love many of the shows in the main theater but have decided they just really aren't my thing
- kids club great kids enjoyed it
- green thunder very fun you have to try it
- enjoyed Stu found him quite funny, the kids liked him and wanted to know if we'd had "a Stu" on our other cruises. If he told us to put sunscreen on one more time I was going to scream though.
- Serenity deck lovely but forget getting a "pod" you had to be out there at 5am to get one I think some people never used their cabins just lived there!
- ship very noisy and creaky and a lot of movement considering the calm seas we had
- they restocked the library with a lot of new books after Suva with emphasis on Australian authors it was the best library I've seen at sea
- drinks especially cocktails cheap by Australian standards(but that might change now it is in Australia permanently)
- decor totally over the top and I did not like design of ship at all. I found it dark inside with not enough views of the ocean. I much prefer RCCL ship design
- sometimes organisation not that great we stood in more lines than have on other cruises but was it was a repositioning with lots of new things happening.
- food extremely good was much better than our RCCL experience on Mariner of the Seas (although I think that was possibly a particularly bad cruise in terms of food) and was very close second behind the Volendam (HAL). It way exceeded my expectations for Carnival. Red meat particularly good, desserts also, 24 hour pizza (free) was very good (new recipe someone told me), salads lovely, great noodle and asian dishes, I could go on but getting hungry! A few things deep fried that weren't great but other than that big thumbs up.
- there were lines for any time dining if you went straight after a show eg 7:30 was busy but other times not
- service for anytime dining was hot and cold, sometimes great sometimes very slow. I think I would actually try set dining next time
- 3 pool set up works well always somewhere to lie around pool even though weather great
- gym good helped offset overeating!
We had perfect weather the whole time so the sea days flew reading around the pool and relaxing. It was a great decision doing it this cruise with friends as it was nice to meet up with them and that helped stop the sea days feeling like groundhog day.
We heard a lot of people complaining about a lot of things on this cruise but we met a lot of people having a great time too. Overall we had a lovely time: perfect weather, good friends, amazing ports, great food, and what wasn't perfect was not worth wrecking a great holiday worrying about!
We did Patrick's Maohi Nui lagoon tour with lunch in Bora Bora - best day ever if you are ever in Bora Bora do this tour. Less

News Focused on the Wood Market
The fight continues against hardwood diseases
Written by John English Monday, 15 September 2014 00:00
Every few years, woodworkers learn of some new invasive pest or fungus with overseas origins that attacks our hardwood populations. Some of them have been killing trees for decades, while others are new arrivals. They generally victimize one species or family and the lumber market takes a hit. Often, the fluctuation in price settles down quickly as suppliers find ways to combat the source of the problem or perhaps lower demand by encouraging us to buy a different species.
Buyers make the switch to African mahogany
Written by Jennifer Hicks Monday, 18 August 2014 00:00
African mahogany is currently the preferred variation of all mahogany species and the look-alike versions, according to lumber dealers and suppliers interviewed by Woodshop News. The general consensus is that the rising price of genuine mahogany has deterred certain buyers, who have opted to deal with the more color-variant African species' rather than spend more than they want.
Sales remain slow and steady for alder
Written by Jennifer Hicks Monday, 21 July 2014 00:00
Alder is currently selling, but not at the pace it has been in prior years. Commonly referred to as red alder, American alder and Western alder, the species (Alnus rubra) grows from California up into Canada. It comes in clear and knotty variations, depending on how much visual character buyers want in their final product.
Walnut sees a steady increase in interest
Written by Jennifer Hicks Monday, 16 June 2014 00:00
Walnut continues to be a top seller, according to hardwood dealers from across the country interviewed by Woodshop News. The wood's popularity is attributed to its rich, dark color currently favored by designers. Walnut slabs, with the bark left on, are also selling extremely well.
Cherry shows it still has staying power
Written by Jennifer Hicks Monday, 19 May 2014 00:00
Cherry (Prunus serotina), also known as black cherry, has been a mainstay hardwood in the woodworking industry for decades. While there haven't been any significant changes in the marketplace, current sales are slightly volatile because of fluctuating prices of other species and the overseas market, according to lumber suppliers interviewed by Woodshop News.

Givler's Crack is a classic Icicle Creek Canyon crag climb. The second pitch is one of the best 5.7 pitches anywhere. With a moderate approach, great climbing, and nice views from the top, this route sees a lot of traffic.
Park at Alphabet Rock at about mile marker 5.5 on Icicle Creek Road. About 100 feet north of Alphabet Rock, look for a trail heading up the hill towards the west. Follow this trail up the hill for 30 minutes towards the granite dome with the big white streak in it. Approach to the base of a right leaning rounded handcrack. This is the start.
Route Description
Pitch #1 - 5.8 - Jamb the strenuous right leaning crack utilizing edges for your right foot until the terrain eases off. Move to below the tree and gain the slab on the left here. Move through some tricky 5.8 slabs double gastoning the flaring crack. Pro is only ok here. Move up to the top of the flake and belay here. (90 feet)
Pitch #2 - 5.7 - Jamb this 4 star amazing handcrack with great pro until the angle kicks back to low 5th class. Belay where feasible. (180 feet)
Pitch #3 - low 5th class - Finish jambing the lower angle crack until on the summit of the dome. (60? feet)
Down - Walk off to the left (south), then follow the trail back to your car.
Essential Gear
50 meter rope or longer
Cams from finger size to 3", bring mostly hand sized pieces.

Wake County teams make an impact in playoffs
Posted November 21, 2008
Raleigh, N.C. — A year ago, after Leesville Road beat South View in the playoffs, Leesville coach David Greene said to his team, "Can we play football in Raleigh?
"Not bad for a bunch of little rich boys!"
Leesville Road's rise from perennial also-ran to state semifinalist last season underscores a much larger trend - that Wake County teams are on the rise in high school football.
This year alone, seven of the remaining 16 teams in the Eastern 4-A and 4-AA bracket have Wake County zip codes. And Cardinal Gibbons remains alive in the 2-A playoffs.
"I definitely think the caliber of play around Wake County is definitely improving," said Daniel Finn, the head coach at Southeast Raleigh.
That new-found success at schools like Southeast Raleigh may be motivating more kids to take up football.
"It seems like they had a lot of opportunities other than football that kept them busy, but now they're refocusing on sports and athletics," Finn said.
Garner head coach Nelson Smith has seen the evolution of Wake County football first-hand.
"Football's gotten a lot better in Wake County, because believe me I was here 26 years ago and I'm here now and I've seen it grow and grow and it's going to keep getting better," he said.
But while Wake County teams are making more postseason noise across the board, the state finals are a different story.
"Until we get somebody in the state championship … I think that's when people will really start taking notice of Wake County and the improvements with football around the area," Finn said.
Getting over that title hump is Wake County's last hurdle in the drive for football respect.

The Utah Legislature gives $300,000 to Don Peay and his Big Game Forever organization to lobby against the feds reintroducing wolves into Utah, even though Big Game Forever has no registered lobbyist in Washington and none of the money previously given is accounted for.
Don Peay and Big Game Forever then make contributions to the election campaigns of the governor and various members of the Legislature, and no one asks whether the money that Big Game Forever receives from the Legislature goes back to legislators in campaign contributions? What a sham.

If you follow us on Twitter, you saw this pop up last night, but it's simply too good not to lead with this morning. To the right is the photo currently gracing early enrollee Jeff Heuerman's Twitter account. What makes this photo amazing, besides Tressel's "DAVE LIFE" pose, is that it was presumably snapped in December of 2009 in a Michigan Man's house of all places. Heuerman's father, Paul, played basketball for the Wolverines in the late 70s and early 80s, followed by a brief NBA stint before going to law school.
As if the profile picture isn't enough, Heuerman touted Tressel's swag on Tuesday and then spent part of Wednesday encouraging Reid Fragel to bulk up. Oh yeah, he also loves to block.
Bravo Jeff, you're well on your way to becoming our favorite member of the loaded 2011 class.
The meat market comes calling. Eight Buckeyes have been invited to the NFL combine: Saine, Homan, Rolle, Sanzenbacher, Torrence, Chekwa, Heyward and Hines. Among those not invited are Dex Larimore, Bryant Browning and a certain all-conference guard that spent the first part of his career in Ann Arbor.
While Larimore will likely have to go the UDFA route to make a club and Browning needs a great Shrine Game to have a chance at being a late pick, I'm shocked Boren wasn't invited to Indy. As a three and a half year starter at Michigan and Ohio State, Boren was named honorable mention all-Big Ten as a sophomore before going on to earn 1st team accolades after his junior and senior campaigns. Prior to the start of the 2010 season, he was projected as going no later than the fourth round of the draft by most services, but it appears questions about his height and technique have surfaced and may prevent him from getting a chance to show NFL scouts what he's capable of doing.
An NFL committee will meet and decide to invite a handful of additional players later this month, so he still has a chance to attend, but what once looked like a guaranteed draft day payday is in jeopardy.
So Longo. Yesterday, Ohio State confirmed reserve offensive lineman Sam Longo had been released from his football scholarship, freeing him up to seek playing time elsewhere. A legacy (his father Gene was a linebacker for Earle Bruce) with an impressive offer list coming out of high school, Longo never hit his stride in Columbus, taking a redshirt in 2009 before seeing action in just one game -- Eastern Michigan -- this past season. By the time the Sugar Bowl rolled around, he was buried on the depth chart behind Corey Linsley and Jack Mewhort, with Marcus Hall looming.
The departure does help a bit with the numbers game, opening up a spot in the scholarship count for Glenville's Aundrey Walker, who could help provide depth at guard with the departures of Boren and Browning. Walker just returned from a visit to USC where he found things to his liking, but word is come Signing Day, he'll be a Buckeye.
The state of Michigan is bleeding quarterbacks. First came the news that Tate Forcier's days with a wingless helmet were over with a rumored destination of Montana, and then last night, word emerged out of East Lansing that the highly-touted Joe Boisture was moving on. Though he was considered one of the nation's best pro-style quarterbacks in the 2010 class, you can't help but wonder how good he really was considering he finished his senior year of high school with twice as many interceptions as touchdowns.
Revenge for 4th-and-10, 70-48, etc. I wrestled competitively in my younger days, so I have a soft spot for the sport and I am generally excited by the work OSU's Tom Ryan is doing with the program. As recently as three years ago, the Buckeyes were runners-up in the NCAA championship and are coming off an 8th place finish in 2010. This year, however, has been a completely different story. Decimated by injuries, OSU currently sports a 2-5 record (which includes an ugly 42-3 loss to up-and-coming Penn State) and will be traveling into Hell Saturday attempting to snap Iowa's 69-match winning streak. The last time Ohio State beat Iowa was 1966 and barring a miracle, that won't change this weekend.
TI-GAH BAIT You'll forgive LSU fans for being a little down these days. Not only did they secure the long-term services of a coach they didn't really want, but they now have a replacement for embattled offensive coordinator Gary Crowton: former Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe. He will have some talent to work with this fall in Baton Rouge, including former Cincinnati Princeton star Spencer Ware, Russell Shepard and four of five offensive linemen back, but as Doctor Saturday points out, Kragthorpe's Louisville squads joined Buffalo as the only schools to suffer multiple defeats to Greg Robinson while he was at Syracuse. There's also a pretty depressing chart if you're into depressing charts. Or taunting friends that are Tiger fans.
Random bits: Former tackle Ivan Douglas' national championship ring is back up for sale on eBay -- yours for only $20k... 11W: 1, Buckeye Grove: 0 as the NCAA gods smiled favorably on Luke... Despite starting the season on the bench, A.J. Hawk is getting some love in Green Bay after leading the team in tackles... Have an extra $10 and want things to not suck so much? Consider giving to the Playoff PAC.

Honestly, you'll probably get a better sense of who I am through my pictures on instagram, more so than you will reading through this babbling nonsense that I always struggle to write and rewrite.
Crossfiter, gamer, wee bit of a nerdy guy. Board games if I'm in good company. Camping, fishing and outdoors in general. Can't wait for Dragon con, AwA is all right as long as I can walk around with my camel back full of Jack and coke. Miss my old car, hate my new one but it gets me there until I can trade it in or sell it. Pet/animal friendly. Auto enthusiast, drive fast or stay to the right. Tattooed and want more. Getting fit and loving it. Cluttered but not filthy. Oyeah, awesomely bearded!
Always searching for that next great adventure!
Music I've been listening to a lot of 40's recently. I just love hearing all the instruments involved in the music from that era. I also like some country (very picky on that though), some pop, a little techno, some rock thrown in every now and again. It all depends on what I'm in the mood for really.
Don't watch much T.V. but I love going to the movies and try to go whenever I'm at home.
Also I peel bananas from the bottom.

"Bit of a hot-dog move."
"That was what stirred the pot."
Nope, the Toronto Maple Leafs' Nazem Kadri and Randy Carlyle didn't appreciate Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty's stick-twirl-and-holster celebration after his second goal of the night, which gave the Habs a 4-0 second period lead in a game they would eventually win 4-2.
Although to be fair, Kadri later added "it's not a big deal I don't think," and Carlyle mostly seemed peeved that it took the added sting of a showy goal celebration to prompt any kind of an emotional response from his team.
It did – they scored 48 seconds later and added another 22 seconds after that.
After that, they didn't have what it took to reel in a smaller, quicker Habs team that nevertheless seemed to win every meaningful physical battle.
When Daniel Brière and Brian Gionta are among the ones grinding you into dust, it's not your night.
And perhaps Pacioretty's enthusiasm might be understandable.
Hey, when you've scored seven goals in your last nine home periods – and matched your career-best 10 shots on goal in a game – it's the sort of indulgence you can afford.
Happy as he was after his two-goal outing, Pacioretty's main priority was to shave off his Movember whiskers – that despite a month that has seen him score seven of his nine goals on the year.
Uh, Max, you're doing it wrong; properly superstitious players tend to resist change.
"Can't wait [to shave] . . . If I doubt myself, I'll think of the first two weeks of the month," he said (good point, Pacioretty had one assist and no goals in seven games from Nov. 1-15).
When Pacioretty is in this kind of mood – he scored two, set up one, matched his career-high with 10 shots on goal, and killed some penalties in his spare time – the Montreal Canadiens are a heavy load to handle.
The arch-rival Toronto Maple Leafs learned that to their detriment, coming out slowly against a fired-up Habs team that held off a late-game rally to capture their fifth win in six games.
The Leafs started the game brightly enough, and nearly had a two-on-one in their first rush up ice, but as it was Carl Gunnerson took an interference penalty just 20 seconds in rather than letting Pacioretty go around him at the Toronto blue line.
Thirty-eight seconds later, Montreal's P.K. Subban scooped up the puck behind his own net, spotted Pacioretty lurking near the opposing blue line and whipped a tape-to-tape pass to spring the big American on a breakaway.
"I wasn't that open, it was such a perfect pass, it was, I don't know if he planned it like that, but their D were gapping up and they were right in the middle of their pivot, so that's why I had so much time. I don't know if he's that good, but catching them in their pivot, then they had to try and turn around and got flat-footed," Pacioretty said.
Jonathan Bernier foiled the initial attempt, but Pacioretty was allowed to take three more whacks at the loose puck, the last of which went into the goal.
"I watch a lot of Thomas Vanek, who's a guy who always stops in front of the net, whatever it takes to score a goal. Maybe when I'm struggling I might do a fly-by there and get upset with myself, but right now I'm just playing off instinct," he said.
Asked after the game whether he'd ever had anyone have enough time to take four solid swipes at the puck, the Leafs netminder, who stopped 35 of 39 shots in a losing effort, said "I've never had that happen on a breakaway, no . . . it was a good play on his part."
With just under four minutes to play in the period, Pacioretty turned provider, grabbing the puck off a faceoff to Bernier's right to make a short pass to Subban, who shimmied past a Toronto defender and let fly with a quick wrist shot that went past a screened Bernier.
It was his first goal in 12 games, his two points drew him to within three of Ottawa's Erik Karlsson for the league lead in scoring among defencemen.
The Leafs will have felt hard done by in the first intermission – they had a Dion Phaneuf goal chalked off after James Van Riemsdyk was judged to have interfered with Price, though the Toronto forward had his feet on the blue paint, it was a highly debatable call.
The visitors, supported as always by a sizable contingent of loud Leafs fans, nearly chopped the lead in half in the opening seconds of the second period, but Phil Kessel's backhand with Carey Price down and out caromed off the foot of the post and was cleared to safety.
The Habs made it 3-0 at 15:05 of the second when Subban kept the puck in the Toronto end after some good work along the boards by Brière. It was chased down by Gionta, who fed the puck back to Brière, then Tomas Plekanec golfed the winger's astute pass into the far side of the Toronto goal as Bernier slid across.
Montreal made it 4-0 when Pacioretty notched his second of the night while the Habs were down a man, beating Gunnarson in a one-on-one battle to score on a back-hand that skittered through Bernier's legs.
But just 48 seconds after that, the Leafs finally solved Price. Posted at the right of the Montreal goal, Van Riemsdyk lifted a delicate little shot into the top corner.
And 22 seconds later they narrowed the gap to two when a rebound found Mason Raymond in almost the same spot where Van Riemsdyk scored, he simply shuffled the puck home for his ninth of the year.
Thanks to some scintillating play in the third from Price – who stoned Tyler Bozak, Kessel and Van Riemsdyk on glorious chances – it was the closest they would get to putting their noses out front.Report Typo/Error
