Recent Fuel-Burning Lantern Reviews
Primus Micron Lantern
Light, compact, great lil unit. It was bright enough to light up under an awning. My only concern was this was not a fast setup device. You have to burn the mantle until it's all white which can take a few minutes. Definitely start assembly before it gets dark if this is your only means of light for the night. The mantle appears to be brittle after use and I'm not sure it will withstand being in my hiking pack for another trip. Overall it is great for heat and light and is light enough to pack in… Full review
UCO Original Candle Lantern
I carried one of these (as well as other candle lanterns) for years, then... Once upon a time I never went into the woods for an overnight without a candle lantern of one kind or another. I probably had five or so different makes and models. They still lurk in my gear storage. This is one of the better ones, maybe the best one. For example, this lantern gives nearly 360 degree light as many do not. Still, all candle lanterns have problems and this is no exception. There is potential for spilled… Full review
Generic vintage candle lantern
The UCO candle lanterns are high quality and I don't see similar ones made by other companies for sale now. However historically there were all types of candle lanterns. This one I found in a box of camping gear at a garage sale and probably dates to the '70s. It is made from thin aluminum, and the glass globe just slides up (kind of odd glass, perhaps it melted a little at some point?). Still, it works OK. I have tried tea lights in it and they work OK, but are a little dim. It seems to work… Full review
UCO Original Candle Lantern + LED
UCO Original Candle Lantern Duo kit with LED light. At one point, they sold the candle lantern as a kit that included a LED light that fits in the bottom of the lantern. (The light doesn't go through the lantern, but rather is used more when the unlit lantern is held as if it were a flashlight.) LED light works on coin cells. The LED light can be used in the lantern or removed and used separately. It has a little clip so it can stand up. It also comes with an elastic band that can be attached… Full review
UCO Fleece Storage Sack for Candle Lantern
UCO Fleece cover for Original Candle lantern These candle lanterns have a glass globe which needs to be protected as they can break. Also, the chain can get caught on other things when it is loose. The fleece cover is a good solution for this as it both provides protection, and packs the chain away. I don't think the fleece provides quite as much protection as the neoprene Cocoon cover. However the fleece is more flexible in that it also fits the Micro and Mini candle lanterns. (I know they… Full review
UCO Pac-Flat Reflector
I bought this mainly because, surprisingly, once my eyes adjust to the dark, the candle lantern can be rather bright since the light goes out in all directions. I thought this could direct the light down, away from my eyes. It works well for that. It is light and packs small. It is a little fiddly to set up. You have to curve it and put the studs through the corresponding holes on the other half to create the shape, then it slips down over the wire bale. Sometimes, when I get the studs in… Full review
UCO Mini Candle Lantern
Awesome nonelectric light! I bought this as alternative to the Micro because of the potential for the Micro to spill. It doesn't pack as small as the Micro, but is still smaller and lighter than the regular candle lantern. I like how it uses tea lights, which are super cheap. Because this one can be hung without a large risk of spilling, it is good for reducing condensation in a tent. Unfortunately, a tea light won't quite last all night. I generally just set it up, and if I wake in the early… Full review
UCO Side Reflector
I bought this mainly because, surprisingly, once my eyes adjust to the dark, the candle lantern can be rather bright since the light goes out in all directions. I thought this could direct the light away from my eyes. It works OK for that, but is intended more to direct the light in another direction. (I later got the Pac-Flat Reflector and that works great because it directs the light downward, away from my eyes.) It is pretty easy to use, it just clips on to the side. It does take up a little… Full review
UCO Micro Candle Lantern
Smaller, but can spill wax. I bought this as alternative to the regular candle lantern because it packs smaller and uses tea lights. Tea lights are super cheap. It is great at that, but unfortunately, it has a big drawback that tea lights liquefy quickly once lit. There are vents at the bottom of the light which will allow molten wax to run out if spilled from the tealight. That is almost certain to happen if the lantern is hung, especially if in a tent to reduce condensation, or moved. Warning:… Full review

Geoff Ridings has swapped one bubble for another. A 32-year veteran of the IT industry, Ridings saw the signals two years ago that a tech-wreck was going to leave many IT workers out of work. He cashed out his house and some of his superannuation and bought the management rights to several units in Brisbane, and also got a real estate agent's licence.
Although he's taken a financial haircut of more than 30 per cent, he feels he's in a much better position than the army of former IT managers who were made redundant and went "consulting."
"It's been an interesting couple of years," he says. "I look at my colleagues who bemoan their fate - but you've got to take control of your life. Employment these days is a matrix of what you can do."
Ridings recognised with a good deal of annoyance that despite an impressive record in IT, at 56 he was likely to suffer from the creeping ageism of most IT recruiters and so moved into a career in property.
"With the money, there is nowhere near as much, but my quality of life improved immediately. When you earn big, you highly gear yourself, and I had the BMWs and the Saabs."
Today a Toyota Corolla suits him just fine, he and his wife run the business together, he has an office in his home, and on a good day they go to the beach and divert any calls to the mobile.
"People in the IT industry need to realise they are the results of their own success. They have contributed to the world's productivity and to the productivity of our industry. You've got to understand what's happening to the world or you'll get washed over.
"I've also said that in a lot of ways people like myself are as relevant as boilermakers or gas fitters. It's not our fault, it's just the way industry works."

Port Costa is a census-designated place (CDP) in Contra Costa County, California, United States. The population was 190 at the 2010 census.
Port Costa was founded in 1879 as a landing for the railroad ferry Solano, owned and operated by the Central Pacific Railroad. This put Port Costa on the main route of the transcontinental railroad.[1] The Solano, later joined by the Contra Costa, carried entire trains across the Carquinez Strait from Benicia to Port Costa,[1] from whence they continued on to the Oakland Pier.[1] For a time, it was also the United States' busiest wheat-shipping port and had a reputation as a colorful, sometimes violent community.
After California's wheat output dropped in the early 20th Century and especially, after the Southern Pacific (which took over the operations of the Central Pacific) constructed a railroad bridge at Martinez in 1930 to replace the ferry crossing, Port Costa lost population and importance.[1] Bill Rich was an influential property owner and raconteur. Since the late 1960s, it has mainly been a small shopping venue for antique hunters and a gathering place for bikers and motorcyclists.
Port Costa's first post office was established in 1881.

3. Black! (shrunken leather jacket, paired with… anything!)
Credit: Pacific Coast News; Splash News Online; FilmMagic.com; Splash News Online
What better wardrobe accessory than the perfect shrunken leather jacket? It really can go from denim to dress, rocker to relaxed, and day to night! It's wise to spend a little more on a piece like this, since you will most likely get a ton of wear out of it. Plus, the older (read: more worn in) genuine leather gets, the better it looks!

Senior Partners for Justice - Life After the Bench
By By Edward M. Ginsburg
As I approached mandatory retirement after serving 25 years on the Probate and Family Court bench, I noticed two trends that appeared to be unrelated. One was the increasing number of pro se litigants attempting to navigate through the family court system, and the other was an increasing number of senior lawyers who had retired but who were still looking to remain active in the legal profession. From these disparate groups, the idea for Senior Partners for Justice was born. The mission of Senior Partners is to offer legal counsel to indigent litigants before the Probate and Family Court while providing new challenges for lawyers who are available to serve.

My names Pedro, I'm New Jersey born and raised and I'm not wired in the head quite right.
That last statement covers a lot of territory, but maybe the rest of this profile will fill in the gaps.
I was exposed to HIV in the early 1980's. The health is good.
I figured that was the important stuff to get out of the way.
I'm artistic and a procrastinator. I'm a writer and have gotten essays published in a couple of online journals and zines.
Presently I'm writing a book of nonfiction.
Other compulsions include growing plants; gardens or containers.
Who am I?
I don't think I'm the best judge.
Friends have described as the elder of the local punk rock scene.
Have told me that I helped during rough time, sometimes just by being an example.
A friend who was extremely homophobic sent me a message on the day marriage equality was passed in NJ. He said I'd opened his eyes and ended with, "You're a good person."
And I was once told that I have "a gentle soul."
When the spirit moves me I like to get nude.
For me nakedness doesn't equal sex.
That's all I can think of right now. I'll edit and add eventually but I'll leave you with this. I carry a copy of the letter below in my wallet. It never fails to move and inspire me.
Letter from photographer Ansel Adams to his Brother Cedric.
"Dear Cedric.
A strange thing happened to me today.
I saw a big thundercloud move down over Half Dome,
and it was so big and clear and brilliant that it made me see many things that were drifting around inside of me; things that relate to those who are loved and those who are real friends. For the first time I know what love is; what friends are; and what art should be.
Love is a seeking for a way of life; the way that cannot be followed alone; the resonance of all spiritual and physical things...
Friendship is another form of love -- more passive perhaps,
but full of the transmitting and acceptances of things
like thunderclouds and grass and the clean granite of reality.
Art is both love and friendship and understanding: the desire to give. It is not charity, which is the giving of things. It is more than kindness, which is the giving of self. It is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.
It is a recreation on another plane of the realities of the world; the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and men,
and of all the interrelations of these.
I'm presently reading 'Tis by Frank McCourt and
Meditations of Marcus Arurelius.
I'll get to work on a list of films I can watch over and over.

U.S. Men to Face Grenada or Guyana in Preliminary World Cup Qualifying in June; El Salvador, Jamaica, Panama Await as Potential Semifinal Opponents
CHICAGO (Friday, December 5, 2003) - At the FIFA Preliminary Draw for the 2006 World Cup in Frankfurt, Germany, it was determined that the U.S. Men's National Team will open their quest to qualify for a fifth consecutive World Cup on June 12 or 13 in Group 1 with a home match versus the winner of an opening-round series between the nations of Guyana and Grenada. The U.S. will play the away leg of their preliminary round series the following weekend, June 19 or 20.
The U.S. also learned their three potential opponents in one of the three Semifinal Round groups, where they could face El Salvador, Jamaica, and Panama should each country advance out of their early-round mini-groups. El Salvador awaits the winner of Bermuda-Montserrat in Group 2, Jamaica faces the winner of Haiti and Turks & Caicos Islands in Group 3, while Panama meets the winner of the British Virgin Islands and St. Lucia in Group 4.
As qualifiers for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the United States, Mexico and Costa Rica cannot face one another until the third and final stage of the qualifying competition.
"We know that it's a long and difficult process, but we'll be prepared to play the winner, whoever it may be," said U.S. MNT manager Bruce Arena, who guided the USA to a best-ever eighth place finish at the 2002 World Cup. "I'm certain our team will be prepared to play, and hopefully we'll move forward into the next round."
The U.S. has never played Guyana or Grenada in the Men's National Team's 87-year history.
In qualifying for the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan, Grenada narrowly lost to Barbados in the Caribbean Zone Preliminary Round. The teams tied, 2-2, in the first leg in Bridgetown, Barbados. In the second leg, the match was again 2-2 at the end of regulation, forcing an overtime period during which Barbados scored to advance 5-4 on aggregate. Barbados then faced the United States in the semifinal round of the competition, falling 7-0 on August 16, 2000, in Foxboro, Mass. and holding the U.S. scoreless for the first 60 minutes of the return leg, before the U.S. pulled away for a 4-0 win.
The three islands of Grenada are located in the Eastern Caribbean at the southern extremity of the Windward islands, only 100 miles north of Venezuela. To the north lies St. Vincent and the Grenadines; to the south Trinidad and Tobago.
Guyana was slated to play Antigua and Barbuda in the preliminary round, but withdrew [was suspended] from the competition.
Guyana (full name is Co-operative Republic of Guyana) is a tropical country situated on the northern coast of South America. It is the only country in South America where English is the official language. It is bordered by Venezuela on the west, Surinam on the east, Brazil on the south and the Atlantic Ocean on the north.
The U.S. does have a history against the three teams it might face in its Semifinal Round group. The U.S. owns a 10-1-4 all-time record (33 Goals For, 10 Goals Against) versus El Salvador, including a 7-0-1 record in the last eight meetings. The U.S. has a 2-0-2 record versus the Central American side in past CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying, posting a win and a draw in home-and-home series in 1989 and 1997.
The U.S. has a similar history with Jamaica, holding an undefeated 8-0-5 mark (23 GF, 6 GA) all-time against the king of the Caribbean. After tying in the first meeting in 1988, the U.S. won five straight before drawing in the next four contests. The U.S. has won the last three meetings, including a huge 2-1 result in the final round of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying on Oct. 7, 2001 that clinched a berth to Korea/Japan. The USA's overall qualifying record versus Jamaica is 3-0-3 across a trio of two-game series in 1988, 1997 and 2001.
The U.S. has met Panama just once, with the home team pulling out a 2-1 win on July 14, 1993, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.

"From this day forward, as we speak right here, right now today, every fight that is a main event that is not a title fight will be a five-round fight. I can do 33 rounds on FUEL TV if I want to. FUEL TV can't get enough. We blew it tonight. It should have been a five-round fight."
After the barnburner of a main event tonight between Diego Sanchez and Jake Ellenberger, UFC president Dana White took to the post-fight press conference and announced that all future main events will be five-rounds.
Diego Sanchez lost the opening two rounds in his fight against Jake Ellenberger tonight, but he resurged in the third and almost put his opponent his way. An obviously fatigued Ellenberger was saved by the bell but had two more rounds been left it very well could have been Sanchez who was awarded the win.
At the end of the bout Diego emphatically stated "I thought all main events are supposed to be five-rounds, what happened? I'm ready for more!"
Well Dana White heard the cry and will now correct the situation from this point forward.
Anyone have a problem with five-round fight main events going forward?

Nehal Joshi, Justin Keyes, Allison Blackwell & More to Lead Dallas Theater Center's LES MISERABLES
Dallas Theater Center will fill the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre stage with the glorious music of the most popular musical of all time in a thrilling new production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's LES MISERABLES. Audiences will be swept away by the epic sounds of LES MISERABLES, directed by Liesl Tommy, which opens in previews on June 27 with a Pay-What-You-Can performance and runs through August 17 at the Wyly Theatre. Tickets to LES MISERABLES are on sale now at www.DallasTheaterCenter.org and by phone at (214) 880-0202.
"We are thrilled that Dallas Theater Center is bringing the moving story and passion-filled music of LES MISERABLES to the stage in the first production by a professional theater company in North Texas," said DTC Artistic Director Kevin Moriarty. "Immensely talented director Liesl Tommy will make use of the Wyly Theatre's unparalleled flexibility to create a deeply immersive experience that is unlike any other production of LES MISERABLES."
The epic classic LES MISERABLES follows ex-convict Jean Valjean in his attempt to live a better life, while perused Javert, an unflinching officer of the law. LES MISERABLES is a powerful affirmation of the human spirit and will thrill audiences with beautiful melodies and an impassioned story of hope, redemption and forgiveness.
Critically acclaimed actor Nehal Joshi, who starred as Captain Walker in DTC's 2009 production of The Who's Tommy, returns to the DTC stage as Jean Valjean; Justin Keyes, who audiences will remember from Give It Up!, returns as Marius; and making their DTC debuts are Allison Blackwell as Fantine; Edward Watts as Javert; John Campione as Enjorlas; Dorcas Leung as Cossette; Elizabeth Judd as Eponine; and Christia Mantzke as Madame Thenardier. The cast includes Brierley Resident Acting Company members Daniel Duque-Estrada; Hassan El-Amin as the Bishop; Alex Organ; Christie Vela; and Steven Michael Walters as Thenardier. Additional members of the cast are Kyle Anderson; Feleceia Benton; Jonathan Bragg; Christopher Deaton; Lillian De Leon; Traci Lee; Laura Lites; Morgan Mason; Brandon Nase and Seth Womack. Mark Hancock and Spencer Sloan appear as Gavroche; Jemma Kosane and Lama Salinas as Little Cossette; and Abby Chapman and Libby Roy as Young Eponine.
"The thought of tackling a beast like LES MISERABLES can be intimidating, but I was thrilled when Kevin asked me to direct it. Coming from South Africa during the struggle, revolution has always been a part of my conversation, as have freedom and justice," said Tommy. "LES MISERABLES provides an opportunity to explore what those things mean in an epic, contemporary and hyper-theatrical way. Coming up with a conceptual attack is the first step. Assembling the appropriate creative team and cast to realize the idea is something entirely different. After a rigorous audition process in both Dallas and NYC, I feel so lucky to have such a wonderfully gifted group of artists to breathe life into this beautiful musical with me."
LES MISERABLES is choreographed by Christopher Windom, who has appeared on Broadway in Fosse and Damn Yankees, and music direction is by Sinai Tabek. Other members of the creative team are scenic designer John Coyne (DTC's Henry IV); costume designer Jacob Climer; lighting designer Colin Bills and sound designer Ray Nardelli.
Tickets for LES MISERABLES are on sale now. Ticket prices start at $15 and are available online at www.DallasTheaterCenter.org or by phone at (214) 880-0202. LES MISERABLES opens with previews on Friday, June 27 at 8:00 pm with a Pay-What-You-Can performance. Tickets to this performance will be available for purchase online at www.DallasTheaterCenter.org beginning Monday, June 23. Any unsold tickets to the PWYC performance will be available for purchase at the Wyly Theatre box office the night of the show beginning at 6:30pm. DTC's Come Early sponsored by Wells Fargo will take place one hour before every performance and will be led by Hassan El-Amin. Patrons will have the opportunity to learn about the play prior to viewing the production. DTC's Dr. Pepper Snapple Stay Late will take place after each performance and will be led by Daniel Duque-Estrada. Patrons will have the opportunity to engage with artists, learn about the production and share insights about the play in a lively discussion. Details for Come Early and Stay Late are available online.

How Many Tapers do we Really Need????

How Many Tapers do we Really Need????
It's time for my yearly fly line order. I just spent 20 minutes on RIO's website and I now have a migraine! I'm ok with a cold water line and a warm water line and few different tapers for different applications but do we really need a line for every species on earth????
I've decided to capitalize on this marketing strategy and come up with a few lines we can actually use, sort of like a Jay Leno List:
1. The classic stuck in a tree fly line (CSIT). For those of us who have a better chance of snagging a bird than landing a fish. Available in 1-8WT, will be measured by "hang time" rather than sink rate.
2. The just get it out there fly line (JGIOT). For us salt guys who just need to get it out past the surf. Form, loops, line speed, I don't care just get over that wave.
3. The intentionally crappy fly line (ICFL). Some times we just don't catch fish, it's definately not our fault! This line will stand up to verbal and physical abuse well and you don't have to worry about it since it's a crappy line anyway.
4. Dust Repellant Taper (DRT). Specifically designed to repel dust while it sits in the closet with the other 45 different lines that you "NEED". (designed by AUSABLEBROWN)
5. Terribly Expensive Disappointment (TED) Designed for the perfect cast, every time, on every rod, except the rod you own. As an added bonus, this line costs 30% more than most other lines on the market. (designed by KEVINTHEBASSMAN)
6. Endorsed by Insert Semi-Famous Fisherman Here (EIS-FFH). Hey, this guy uses it. You want to be like him, right? So what if he's a notorious hack with poor casting form and halitosis, psoriasis, and dandruff? He's famous. Sorta. (designed by KEVINTHEBASSMAN)

Sonic & Knuckles Collection
Review by CChan
"A great compilation of Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles"
Sonic & Knuckles Collection is a CD that has the compilation of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3 & Knuckles from Genesis (thanks to people at SEGA, you can play it on your PC). Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the result of the 'Lock-On' technology from Genesis.
Graphics – 9
They are almost the same as the 3 original Sonic games I mentioned above from Genesis. Noticeable bright colours, amazing backgrounds in every single zones, quick, rapid movements in these graphics make this game beautiful. If you want to resize the screen to full, the quality and graphics will be slightly changed.
Music – 9
The background music are, of course from the Genesis games so there aren't going to be any difference. The music still maintain their good, old songs and tunes from Death Egg Zone can be the really the best.
Gameplay – 10
If you start playing, I recommend starting off with Sonic 3 & Knuckles. This combined game can be played by any of the three characters, Sonic, Tails or Knuckles. The three of them can go to the beautifully designed levels, 3D special stages, bonus levels to collect rings and play in a 2 player split-mode style. There are 14 Emeralds to collect to become the ultimate Super Sonic, Hyper Sonic, Super Tails, Super Knuckles or Hyper Knuckles! Wow! That's a quite a lot! Also, collecting all Emeralds is not an easy task.
Also, you may be sure that there are traps and various sorts of enemies to prevent you from getting further. Certain bosses are difficult to defeat and you'll need to use your brain (do I hear someone groaning again?), find its weakness and defeat it once and for all.
Story – 8
Dr. Robotnik is up to his sleeves once more, and his mind is now set on the Chaos Emeralds. After the destruction of his Death Egg Zone (in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, haven't bought it? Shame on you), he crushes into Angel Island (known as Floating Island too) and tumbles it down to the sea because of the great force. He began to trick Knuckles into believing that Sonic wanted to steal the Chaos Emeralds (while actually, Robotnik is the one who's going to steal them to repair his Death Egg)! Being a guardian, Knuckles won't let anyone steal them easily and therefore, you'll see his a bit irritating red, spiny, grinning face throughout the adventure.
Replayability – 8
Some Chaos Emeralds are hard to obtain so that should keep you coming back and keep on playing until you become the true master of Sonic 3 & Knuckles! But, don't play too much, this game will be nothing to you by the time you replay it the tenth time.
Overall – 9
This is truly a fun (and great) game of Sonic the Hedgehog. Fans of Sonic the Hedgehog and action gamers are recommended to buy this game now! Words just can't describe the deftness, coolness and the amazing graphics and the quality of the game. You just got to buy it!

When it comes to the buzz surrounding net-zero construction, Derek Satnik sees the practice as a future necessity rather than a fleeting fad. An energy engineer, technical specialist and green energy policy expert, Satnik also serves as managing director of Mindscape Innovations Group, Inc., a nationally awarded energy and environmental consulting firm that specializes in green practices. He works out of Kitchener, Ont., where he says net-zero construction is gaining momentum in niche markets.
"There is certainly a fan-following of aggressive net-zero construction in Canada," says Satnik, a founding member of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp (CMHC)'s Net-Zero pilot program, which launched in 2005.
"In basic terms, net-zero buildings produce as much energy as they consume on an annual basis," says David Silburn, research associate, green building technologies, South Alberta Institute of Technology Polytechnic.
But what types of new practices have emerged to make more net-zero buildings possible?
"Believe it or not, most of the best techniques are not new," says Satnik. "The greatest energy sink in the typical home is air leakage—which is energy wasted by heating or cooling the outdoors rather than keeping conditioned air inside the building envelope."
To make homes air-tight, Satnik suggests paying close attention to sealing up a vapour barrier properly, especially around joints, corners, headers, windows and doors, electrical outlet, pot-lights or other ceiling penetrations. Those who truly approach net-zero construction, will use Tuck Tape to seal staples that hold vapour barrier poly to the studs within walls.
In fact, ample insulation is one of the defining traits of an effective, net-zero building.
"The general rule is that more insulation is better," says Satnik, who has seen successful designs include double-stud walls that contain batts, thick foam walls, double studs with cellulose, insulated concrete forms and structurally insulated panels. All of these techniques are acceptable net-zero practices.
But be wary, he adds. Not all insulations are the same, so it's worth understanding their various needs and limitations.
"For example, batts often get squished around electrical outlets and wires in the wall when they should instead be cut to fit, or separated and wrapped in front of and behind wires," he says.
Additionally, better-insulated walls, ceilings, and basements are key to building a net-zero home—especially within the foundation, where the highest amount of heat loss occurs.
"In our Discovery 4 research homes, we've significantly increased the basement insulation, which will save a homeowner a lot of energy," Silburn says. "About 20 percent of heat loss is associated with a basement whereas within an attic, you lose about five percent. Increasing insulation in your attic doesn't get you the same bang for your buck."
Equally as important as insulation are mechanical systems, which must first be sized properly to be successful in net-zero construction. Energy-efficient buildings do not need as much heat and oversized systems will not run as efficiently in an advanced home, Satnik says. Additionally, remember to practice proper installation techniques.
"Duct systems often leak terribly, which makes it difficult to get air through the house to where it's intended to go," he explains. "Rather than using aluminum tape to seal joints, consider using 'nasty goup' to seal them."
He suggests assembling the ducts on the floor and letting them dry fully before hanging.
"The end result is vastly improved over typical ducting installations and the homeowners will feel the performance benefit," Satnik says.
Net-zero building techniques may work well for new construction, but what about retrofits? How can net-zero building practices be applied to older homes?
At SAIT Polytechnic, David Silburn, research associate in green building technologies and his teams have developed a specialized window shutter that also generates heat. This "solar thermal shutter" and other solar thermal panels can be easily fitted to older homes to pre-heat their domestic hot water heaters and help to increase their net-zero capabilities.
For the interior, Derek Satnik, managing director of Mindscape Innovations Group, Inc., recommends using spray foam to insulate looser areas of the home. Contrary to popular belief, not all windows and doors have to be replaced, he says. They do, however, almost always need resealing.
"Leaky windows should be replaced, but efforts should focus on sealing around the window casing and adding weather stripping to doors," he says. "Remember that the cheapest items are often the biggest impact; cutting air leakage means directly eliminating the energy used to heat or cool lost air and always has a bigger impact than upgrading a mechanical system."
Regardless of the level of upgrades involved, both Satnik and Silburn recommend consulting local Canadian incentive programs for guidance on which mechanical upgrades may make the most sense.
Adds Silburn, "Hiring a consultant to provide an energy audit and verify the amount of energy you are actually using will make a big difference in prioritizing insulation, air sealing, and energy efficiency."

When an old, crusty former teacher found out I was contemplating becoming a teacher he warned, "Children are like flatulence. You can barely tolerate your own and other peoples are horrendous."
Being young and naïve, I didn't understand. The older I get, the more I understand his disillusionment, not so much in kids, but more with society in general.
I suppose every generation thinks future ones have it easier. I remember getting the I-lived-during-the-Great Depression lecture 101…"When I was a child we walked to school uphill in neck deep snow…"
With all the modern day conveniences what will today's youth complain about to their children. "You have no idea how rough things were…I was 13 before the Smart Phone was invented, and I didn't have unlimited texting until I was 14!"
As a society we aren't doing enough to toughen up kids. Take playgrounds for instance.
Old Days: We slid off metal slides (in ridiculously short shorts) landing on broken-glass covered concrete.
Risks: Third degree burns, lacerations, and impalement.
Now: Kids slide off plastic slides onto pits of down-filled pillows.
Risks: Allergic reaction, tickling?
Playgrounds used to be the proving grounds of youth. Many a boy earned his Man Card bloodying the nose of the local bully. That just doesn't happen today. One thing that disturbs me is the need for some to spray paint graffiti on playground equipment. Are they bored? Isn't the thrill of yelling in a tube excitement enough?
Back in the day if a kid was stupid enough to vandalize, he could at least claim dizziness from the merry-go-round, but he could expect to be punishment from his parents. Today a busted vandal goes home to accolades for his "artistic abilities."
Many parents are to blame for the lack of "toughening." They are called helicopter parents because they hover around their children watching the child's every move. I mean isn't it a little ridiculous handing your child a ribbon just because they crossed the monkey bars (Heaven forbid we mention they fell six times in the process and mom was holding his legs up). At what point did we cross the line where kids have to get an award even if they received 99th place? Will future courtrooms offer divorcing couples participation medals?
I worry that someday it will be commonplace for parents of adults to call their daughter's boss because she didn't receive a commendation at the end of the work day.
Another item that perplexes me is fast food. When did many of these restaurants decide that PlayLands were needed? In my day we ate fast food for the love of cholesterol. Watching those PlayPits is like watching a remake of 'Lord of the Flies.' And once your child is in there, you can forget getting them out without tons of begging and pleading…by the parent.
When my boys were young enough for them, I always fantasized that they should have a large toilet-like flush handle that once pulled would instantly turn the PlayLand into a waterslide sending kids surging out the plastic slides.
The other piece of advice that old, crusty teacher gave me was that no matter how bad one thinks the kids are, "Never insult them because they are going to be the one's taking care you when you're in the nursing home."
What he didn't realize was that he'll be okay as long as he remembers to hand them a sticker at the end of the day.

Regatta - Eastern Caribbean: Regatta Cruise Review by Little London
Overall Member Rating
Regatta - Eastern Caribbean
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
The cruise itinerary was absolutely brilliant, I think that is what sold it to us, with the exception of Dominican Republic. We just feel they have spoilt it for themselves. We did not have a very enjoyable shore excursion there, and after walking down town we were pestered by adults and children alike, we did not feel very comfortable about the whole thing and were glad to get onto the tender and back to the ship.
The ship was spotless and the crew very courteous and happy. The fellow passengers we talked to were very interesting people with some wonderful stories to tell.
The issues we had were: The open style dining to our minds did not seem to work smoothly. You either joined a table that had already ordered their food or just a table More for two along side similar tables, all of which had just finished eating. This happened to us on more than one occasion. They also wanted to hurry you along clearing our plates as soon as possible. We didn't even get it right in Toscanas either. We booked a table for 8.30 p.m., sat down at 9.15 p.m. to order, and our appetizers arriving at 9.45 p.m. However we ate twice at the Polo Grill and thoroughly enjoyed both the food and the company.
With regards to the food, we had read they claim to be one of the best dining experiences afloat. We think that is a matter of opinion. To our mind we found the menus were uninspiring and sometimes found it hard to select a dish that we liked. We know that the majority of people thought it was great so maybe it was just us!
We also missed the ' wow ' factor of the bars and atrium, while the country club atmosphere was amiable, we found something was missing .
Breakfast was very good with a delicious 'wet museli' at the fruit bar, but trying to find a table to sit at did course a bit of a problem as breakfast was always busy.
The embarkation and disembarkation was very smooth, but why meet in the theatre for every shore excursion, why not let people make their own way to the dock and join their tour guide there.
We have cruised with Princess and Celebrity and we will go back to Celebrity again. We may try Oceania but not for a few years.

Amanda Knox Convicted of Murder -- Again
Posted on January 30, 2014An Italian appeals court just convicted former Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito for the murder of British citizen Meredith Kercher in 2007, when they were all students in Perugia, Italy. Amanda spent 4 years in prison before being acquitted on a retrial. Amanda alleged that the Italian police yelled at her, threatened her and slapped her during ceaseless interrogations and that she was psychologically tortured in prison.
Amanda refused to return to Italy for yet a third trial and waited at home in Seattle for the verdict. She has said she will not go willingly to prison for a crime she did not commit. Legal experts think it unlikely that the U.S. will agree to extradite her, because she has already been acquitted of the crime. It would be unconstitutional for her to be punished for a crime she has been acquitted of. A judge sentenced Amanda to 28 1/2 years in prison and sentenced Sollecito to 25 years in prison. Knox will most likely appeal this verdict. Her legal fees have been staggering and we are appalled that the Italian government is allowing this to go on. She's been acquitted. It's over, let her try to get on with her life.
Here is CNN's report just before the verdict came in:

SWAPPING the pitch for the pantomime stage this weekend is fans' favourite Ben Westwood.
The testimonial Warrington Wolves star will be treading the boards of the Parr Hall as Prince Charming during two performances of Cinderella and says he is looking forward to supporters seeing him in a different light.
The dad-of-two said: "Learning lines is something we have never done before so we were all a bit out of our comfort zone.
"I have barely read a book never mind a script so I think it's been a lot harder than we thought it was going to be.
"But hopefully it will all pay off and I think it's going to be a good show."
The England international will be joined on stage by Paul Wood and Mickey Higham as the henchmen, Garreth Carvell as the baron and former Warrington player Jon Clarke playing the villain.
The group have been rehearsing for three or four hours a night at Warrington Collegiate over the past two months with performing arts students who are 'ready to jump in if anything goes wrong'.
The Man of Steel finalist added: "It's nerve-wracking but we're looking forward to it.
"We're hoping for a good turn out as that would be the best ending to the last couple of months and I'm sure we're all going to be buzzing afterwards.
"I don't think people are expecting us to be any good but it will give them a chance to see us in a different light rather than bashing each other about on a rugby field."
Tickets for the shows on Sunday at 2.30 and 6pm are £12 for adults, £8 for concessions and £32 for a family ticket of four and are available at all Warrington Asda stores and the Warrington Wolves Wolfware club shop.
To be in with the chance of winning a family ticket for four to the panto, answer this question: What year did Ben Westwood make his Warrington debut?
Send your answer along with your name and phone number to email@example.com by tomorrow, Friday, 12pm to be in with a chance of winning.

I found this planter at my local thrift store. I thought it looked old and might be a collectible. I inspected the bottom and saw that it had a number (S221) under the glaze. I started to search the internet and was able to find out that it was a Napco planter. So I typed in Napco S221 and only one article came up. An ebay listing from 2008. This is the only thing I can find on this planter. Any information and/or what it might be worth, if anything, would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

Mary-Kate Olsen wants immunity in Heath Ledger investigation
Mary-Kate Olsen is refusing to be interviewed by federal investigators about Heath Ledger's accidental overdose until she's granted immunity from prosecution. This latest move proves what I've always feared: Pauly Shore knew something relevant when he claimed the Olsen twins are diabolical. May God have mercy on us all. The New York Post reports:
The actress' lawyer has repeatedly rebuffed attempts by the feds to question Olsen, who was the first person called after her masseuse discovered Ledger's body in his SoHo apartment in January.
Frustrated federal officials could obtain a grand-jury subpoena to compel the funky "Full House" actress to tell them whatever she knows about the "Dark Knight" star's behavior, his possible drug use and the events of that fateful morning, according to sources.
Probers have interviewed everyone connected to Ledger and his death, including his doctors, the masseuse, bodyguards, housekeepers, business associates and even the mother of his 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, his "Brokeback Mountain" co-star Michelle Williams.
"Ms. Williams was extremely nice and cooperative," a source said.
And by nice and cooperative, the source meant Michelle Williams grabbed an FBI agent by the collar and yelled "It was Mary-Kate Olsen, you sonofabitch! I'll have your badge for breakfast." But no one ever suspects the Olsen twins – until it's too late. Christ, they're still looking for Bob Saget's body.
EDIT: Turns out Bob Saget is still alive. I'm as shocked as you are.
Thanks to Liz who won't watch Full House without the lights on and a priest handy.

This time the recommendations come from Natalie Angier, a science reporter with the New York Times.
In this week's Science Section, she reports on two studies showing connections between two cognitive number mechanisms:
1. The approximate number system: in Angier's words, "an ancient and intuitive sense that we are born with and that we share with many other animals."
2. The abstract, symbolic system that allows us to "manipulate representations of numbers" and make precise calculations.
One study shows that a person's facility with the approximate system is connected to his/her facility with the symbolic system. The other shows that, in Angier's words:
[P]reschool children are remarkably good at approximating the impact of adding to or subtracting from large groups of items but are poor at translating the approximate into the specific.All this, Angier reports, has "potentially broad implications for math education:"
Taken together, the new research suggests that math teachers might do well to emphasize the power of the ballpark figure, to focus less on arithmetic precision and more on general reckoning.Huh? Less on symbolic and more on approximate? This is a non-sequitor, unless we know that the causality flows from approximate to symbolic.
But as Angier quotes one of the researchers (Lisa Feigenson of Johns Hopkins) as saying, "We can't draw causal arrows one way or another" between "your evolutionarily endowed sense of approximation" and "how good you are at formal math."
And, as Angier herself writes: "The researchers caution that they have no idea yet how the two number systems interact," and that it's currently an "open question[] ...how malleable our inborn number sense may be, whether it can be improved with training, and whether those improvements would pay off in a greater appetite and aptitude for math."
So how does Angier leap to the conclusion that schools should be stressing approximate number sense over symbolic numerical reasoning?
It seems that our science reporter has managed to:
1. avoid visiting actual classrooms, where she would see how much symbolic math has been jettisoned the sake of "number sense," and by how much overall levels of math achievement have therefore declined.
2. fall under the influence of the reigning ed school orthodoxy, which is as enamored of intuition as it is contemptuous of abstract reasoning.
3. take, on faith, the bizarre claims by one of the researchers about the parlor games played by mathematicians:
"When mathematicians and physicists are left alone in a room, one of the games they'll play is called a Fermi problem, in which they try to figure out the approximate answer to an arbitrary problem," said Rebecca Saxe, a cognitive neuroscientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who is married to a physicist. "They'll ask, how many piano tuners are there in Chicago, or what contribution to the ocean's temperature do fish make, and they'll try to come up with a plausible answer."Not the mathematicians I know!
Why doesn't anyone ask them about what they think of what's going on in today's actual classrooms?

Coral Gables (December 24, 2010) —
Answering questions about sponsored research financials and animal protocols is now a lot easier. The University of Miami has developed a University-wide, Web-based Research Reporting System (RRS) to make extramural funding and scholarly productivity information more accessible to the research community. The system allows users to generate lists of past proposals, pending proposals, and currently funded awards, as well as summarize relevant IACUC protocol information, use of veterinary resources, and CITI certifications. Additionally, users can generate lists of investigators and identify collaborators by searching award titles for keywords.
Join the Office of Research Information Management for an RRS information session on Tuesday, January 11 at 1 p.m. in Dominion Towers, 12th-floor conference room. In addition to providing an overview and useful tips on how to use the system, the session will offer participants an opportunity to share their needs with the reporting team.

Re: Latvians and Lithuanians - not related to Slavs?
It cannot get to me why would they pursue installation of the new US defence system of their territory. Moscow does not threaten them anymore, even in the political and alliance way, but Warsaw it seems to me is trying to pursue any kind of policy to piss of the Moscovites. Maybe it is still the long known conflict over territorries, because at some point in history Poland was a big confederative state and was in control of vast territories. Moscow has always been Warsaw's competitor for influence.
It is certainly not a good thing that the Slavic world is long devided, firstly by religion, secondly by politics interlaced with religion and later with playing silly games on the geo-political arena and inviting the United States as a "friend" to tackle the old foe.
Have you ever hear of say France inviting the US to tackle England? It would sound like a neussance, a thing that would be so obvious, that no-one would ever done it. But in the case of Warsaw - Moscow it may as well be true.
It cannot get to me either what would any of the independent states like Poland or Ukraine achieve by causing a stir-up and division. They are independent, they have independent governments, own languages, some even still have own currency, so what is the point in deviding it even more?
I doubt that today Moscow is trying to spread it's influence over central Europe. It has so far been unable to do so, this is why a great part of the Russian people (people with Russian identity, culture, faith and mentality) lives outside Russia. There are millions of them and they feel the pressure on their identity and their culture in "other" states.
Some say that by confronting Moscow these states try firstly and foremostly "de-russify" the population, but this is only one of the theories.
It works when you think of how much Russia has got itself in terms of land and resources and wealth, so maybe in central Europe there are political powers trying to slice their own piece of cake. Because the only reason why Russia is still the largest and potentially the richest country in Eurasia is because the 100. million Russian in people remained undivided, still loosing a great part of compatriots who now live in "different principalities". However in Russia they did not split into various and often fictive mini-nations yet, not like it in fact happened in the case of Ukraine or Belarus who are now divided from what used to be one nation. In Russia they remained who they always were - Slavic settlers who from around 5 century AD began to populate vast un-enhabited lands.
Perhaps the slavic world is trying to mirror Westen Europe and arrange it the same way for "better control over territories" by forming independent countries. How good it works and that people's language, confession and identity has got to do with it is a big question.
It is well known that plans to secate the Russian Empire into principalities was worked out, not in Warsaw, but in Washington and there were plans to form independent countries when the Empire collapses.

Re: Latvians and Lithuanians - not related to Slavs?
According to Finnish research (Laitinen et al, 2001) and Richard Villems (2001, Estonia) who have carried out principal component analysis of some major genetic lines, the closest genetic relatives of modern Balts (Lithuanians and Latvians) appear to be modern Estonians and Mari people (autonomous republic of Mari-El in Russia) while Russians and Poles have considerably less genetic similarity. This has led some scientists to believe that the people known today as Balts were initially largely of Finno-Ugric origin (or in turn, modern day Finns were initially of east Baltic origin) - thus, the languages spoken today by these groups would have become established through language replacement.
Lithuanian, among European languages, has the best claim to represent the primitive [Aryan] speech. The Teutonic languages have lost many of the old inflexions which have been preserved in the Slavo-Lettic languages, and more especially Lithuanian
To this day Latvian and Lithuanian retain all the Sanskrit reflections. They have forty percent to sixty percent of words originating with the Sanskrit and the gods of both nations were Aryan deities from northwest India. As a result, linguists are very much aware that the Lithuanian tongue is so ancient that, in many respects, even the Vedic Sanskrit looks rather modern in comparison. Thus, the Lithuanian speech area is a major criterion to aid historians in tracing the origins of the Indo-Europeans.
Further, the author emphasizes eight old and very important differences between the Baltic and Slavic languages. One fact which is frequently forgotten even by linguists must be kept in mind: In the oldest times the Baltic linguistic area was probably considerably larger than the contemporaneous Slavic linguistic area, i.e., in those ancient times the Slavs borrowed words and perhaps other linguistic features from the Baits. If one must use the compound names for the old IE dialects, then to be linguistically consistent it would be necessary to use the term Balto-Germanic rather than Balto-Slavic, since there are more protolanguage similarities between the Baltic and Germanic dialects than between the Baltic and Slavic!
So, most unlikely that Baltic languages developed from Slav group of languages or if you insist that our languages have same roots, you have to admit that Slav languages developed from Baltic languages.
By the way, we don't hate russians!WE HATE COMMUNISTS!If you are loyal to Latvia, then you are welcome

Not at all. Non of the Baltic states are alike with the Slavs, neither with language nor with nationality.

Re: Latvians and Lithuanians - not related to Slavs?
Ethnically, Belarusians and Lithuanians are closely related. Genetic analysis shows extreme similiarity between Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles, Belarusians, and Russians. Curiously, they are even surprisingly close to Estonians and Finns, though the language of the latter is not even Indo-European. That is especially notable in the case of Finno-Ugric nations and Northern Russians (they are distinct from non-Northern Russians, who are more similiar to other Slavs such as Poles).
Finally, they are phenotypically similiar. The Baltid type is prevalent among both Baltic nations and various Northern Slavs. Other types, such as Nordids, for instance, too, are spread in all Northern Slavic and Baltic nations in a very similiar manner.

Re: Latvians and Lithuanians - not related to Slavs?
I though this was interesting.
The Russian and all other Slavic languages have been butchered through the centuries.
"The medieval text Pannonian Life of Constantine records that the Slavs were already literate at the time of Cyril's mission"
Slavs had a fully developed language before Christianity was forced on them.
Just like the Sawstika is a universal simbol, so was the ancient slavic language a more universal one. That's why there's debate whether some Slavic words were borrowed from Latin and Greek or if it was other way around.
History was rewritten in Europe during the inquisition and such. The catholic Church burned anything that was a threat to its power monopoly.

Actualy we don't know the other such european nation who cry so much about..."being innocent victim of both Evil regimes -Naciz and Soviet"
Just like the jews...
Indeed the Poland was an tupical agressor itself after ww1 - they have cuptured the big part of alien land- Western Ukraine and Belorussia.
The Winston Churchill called Poland as Hyena becouse it's stole the Teshin area ( part of Chehoslovakia) in 1938.

Re: Latvians and Lithuanians - not related to Slavs?
This claim on Polish Greatness along with the attempt to culturally rival Moscow as the leader in the "Slavic Culture" brings her into conflict with Moscow. Moscow did in the long run never tolerated a Slavic rival who attempts to gain leadership in the 'Pan-Slavic movement'. The call of Warsaw basically was and is: "Western Slavs attention! We, the Poles, are your authentic leaders while the Russians are just 'barbarians'. Rally around us."
This is mirrored in the Germanic camp by the English-German rivalry ('brother wars' can be bloody), except that the Russian-Polish rivalry is more unequal and regularly ended with Poland's temporarily demise (the three Polish partitions and wiping her off the map in 1815 until the Versailles powers re-installed it 1919 as an "attack dog" against both , the Reich and the USSR).

Re: Latvians and Lithuanians - not related to Slavs?
What kaligula said about the phonetics isnt completely thrue. The word he mentioned "kelias" which means road has a modern gramar. In quite large teritory of Lithuania its pronounced and writen(if a person has low education) kels without 2nd and 3rd vovels pronounced with only softened letter "l". It applies to any word that has "ias" "or "as" at the end. In "as" case the Consonant isnt softened. That teritory is mainly towns and villages and is mostly in mid-west, west, west-east teritories.
we still have a very strong dialect diferences in Lithuania that is on a similar level to for example english and highlander scotish, aswell as much wider vocabulary. I think its a sign of it beeing older. For example someone who grew up in a capital(Southeastern Lithuania) wouldnt understand what a person who grew up even in conciderably large town in northwestern, while the norwestern would understand the other without a problem.
As for the hate. I think a big part of lithuanian hate towards polish is because lithuanian language and books were prohibited and polish was comonly used. Not sure about the periods now. About 16th century.

VS Angel Alessandra Ambrosio Struts Her Post-Baby Bod 2008-11-21 03:30:00
VS Angel Alessandra Ambrosio Struts Her Post-Baby Bod
A combination of healthy diet and dedicated exercise is the ticket to achieving an in-shape physique, and Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio put this philosophy into gear during the two and a half months following the birth of her baby. She more than held her own next to her fellow Angels strutting down the runway at the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show last weekend where she sported lingerie and hard abs.
According to Alessandra's trainer Leandro Carvalho, "She gained quite a lot of weight. She was indulging herself in delicious Brazilian food [and] she had to pay the price." The stunning model was left with 20 more pounds on her frame after pregnancy, but hard work allowed her to walk the runway with confidence.
To learn about Alessandra's post-baby workouts,
Initially, Alessandra was limited in her workouts, having had a C-section. She was restricted from doing crunches, sit-ups, and lunges, and instead relied on things like climbing, walking, and using ankle weights. Later she added cardio to her routine, and Carvalho challenged Alessandra with his Brazilian Buttlift workout involving a unique combination of ballet, squats, lunges, and capoeira.
She performed the Buttlift workout for two hours every day — I tried capoeira when I was at the top of my fitness game and could barely walk the next day! Alessandra might have great genes, but there's no question this beauty is also one tough cookie.

John Motson answers question on twitter! Let's quote Motty from a previous post in this blog:
Q: Have you ever been shown how Twitter works?
Gary Lineker asked me this last summer and I told him I have no interest in it whatsoever. I am too busy to even think about it. I am not on Facebook either and I don't do email. My life is very simple, it is controlled completely on a mobile phone with my texting.
Given the above how likely is it that John Motson tweeted the following:
Hi everybody, John Motson here, ready to answer your
Two hashtags. How likely is it that John Motson knows what a hashtag is? I'm sure he's seen the symbol before because it's on a mobile phone keypad which of course controls his every move.
But I am going to presume that he is being asked them by some FA intern who's job it is to select the questions and ask them to Motty before replying on his behalf. Even so Motty displays an incredible lack of understanding when replying to the questions asked of him.
Who is the best player you have commentated on?
I'll give you three - Cantona, who transformed Man Utd, Henry who was fantastic for Arsenal, and the mercurial Ronaldo.
Again we'll revisit a previous Motty quote:
I would go for Eric Cantona as the best overseas player. He changed the history of Manchester United. I have to mention Thierry Henry at Arsenal too.
So he's added (Cristiano?) Ronaldo since last time at least. But again Cantona and Henry are both subjectively and objectively ridiculous calls. And also Ronaldo isn't mercurial, he's a incredibly consistent goal machine.
who are your favourite up and coming commentators at the moment?
I admire Clive Tyldesley greatly, but BBC tradition of commentators is in good hands with Steve Wilson, Guy Mowbray and JP.
Clive Tyldesley is 60 years old. Steve Wilson (47), Guy Mowbray (42) and Jonathon Pearce (54) aren't exactly up and coming either.
This is my favourite though:
What, in your opinion, is the finest FA Cup final goal ever scored?
Gerrard v West Ham in 2006 and Lawrie Sanchez in 1988 spring to mind, but the best visual goal has to be Keith Houchen's in 1987.
Firstly can someone explain to me what the difference is between a normal or visual goal? He's implying that some goals are perceived only by a sense of smell or sound? They are so sublime they can't be seen?
I can understand the first two choices in terms of what they meant in the game, and the significance of the Wimbledon victory was huge at the time even though it was a basic header from a corner. Gerrard's goal was a last minute screamer to take it to extra time, so fair enough, but Keith Houchen's goal was a header from 4 yards out to equalise after 60 minutes. I can accept his personal opinion of liking a goal, but to call this the finest ever visual goal in the FA Cup Final is nuts.
But we knew that anyway.
As a final aside the picture that accompanies the article:
Reminds me of this:
Look at his hands, palms flat on the keyboard! Who would sit at a laptop like that? He also looks slightly terrified, I think because he is doing everything he can to not look at the screen, even out of the corner of his eye, just in case he sees how twitter works.

With their last pick in the 2009 NFL Draft the 49ers selected DT Ricky Jean-Francois, out of LSU.
Regarded as one of the nation's top prep defensive linemen during his days at Carol City High School, Jean-Francois never lived up to that billing during his time at LSU. While a member of the Tigers football team, he was suspended by the NCAA for 12 months, had academic problems and angered his head coach for unflattering comments made about Florida quarterback Tim Tebow before the teams met in 2008.
Jean-Francois was being counted on to replace All-American Glenn Dorsey as the leader of the defensive front wall in 2008, but that plan was sidetracked by the junior's groin injury. "Nobody can replace Glenn Dorsey," defensive end Tyson Jackson said before the 2008 season, "but a guy like Ricky Jean can come in and be the man."
Jean-Francois, a junior from Miami, is an inch taller than Dorsey at 6-foot-3 and about 10 pounds lighter at 290. He may not be able to clog the middle and toss linemen around as Dorsey did, but he can run better and can also play defensive end. "He's not as heavy," LSU coach Les Miles said of Jean-Francois. "But I think he's more angular. I think he may be more athletic, and he plays with great leverage. He's really a very strong man, so I like both of them."
Jean-Francois was rated the premier defensive line prospect in the state of Florida as a senior at Carol City High School. He was rated third in the country at his position by College Football News and selected All-American first-team by Prep Football Report and Riddell. The All-State first-team choice was a member of the Orlando Sentinel Top 100 for Florida and a member of the FSN South's Countdown To Signing Day" All-South" first-team.
He was named the Dade County Male Athlete of the Year in both 2004 and 2005, becoming the only two-time winner of the award in its 49-year history. The skilled pass rusher closed out his career with a remarkable senior season, registering 93 tackles, 15 sacks and three interceptions. He also forced six fumbles and recovered three. He set the Florida state record for sacks in a game with 6.5. He also had a breakout junior season with 87 tackles, including 27 for losses, 10 sacks and eight forced fumbles.
Jean-Francois also excelled in track, competing in the shot put and discus. He won the state championships in the shot put and discus as both a junior and senior. He recorded the nation's third-best toss in the shot put with a throw of 65-5 3/4 in 2005.
Jean-Francois enrolled at LSU in 2005 but was red-shirted, concentrating on improving his academics. He appeared in 12 games in 2006, earning freshman All-American first-team honors from The Sporting News. He played most of the year behind Jackson at left defensive end, but started his first college game vs. Auburn at left tackle, replacing an injured Dorsey. He finished his first season with the varsity by making 27 tackles (10 solos) that included three sacks and 5.5 stops for losses.
After the 2006 season, Jean-Francois joined the men's track and field team. One of the Tigers' top newcomers that season, he earned All-Southeastern Conference honors in the shot put at the SEC Indoor Championships by finishing in second place with a season-best heave of 60-1 1/4.
Primed for a breakout 2007 season, Jean-Francois was called into the coach's office and informed he was being suspended from playing by the NCAA. He practiced with the team but was not allowed to travel. After the conclusion of the regular-season schedule, he was reinstated, starting vs. Tennessee in the Southeastern Conference title game before earning defensive MVP honors for his performance vs. Ohio State in the BCS Championship Game. In two games, he totaled nine tackles (5 solos), assisted on a sack and blocked a kick.
Jean-Francois started six of 11 games at right tackle in 2008. He produced 20 tackles (8 solos) with two sacks, three stops behind the line of scrimmage and blocked a kick. A groin strain forced him to miss the second half vs. Mississippi State and sit out the Florida and South Carolina contests.
Before the Florida clash, Jean-Francois apologized for what he described as an unfortunate use of diction when he spoke about the pressure the Tigers' defense hoped to put on Tebow. He told the Orlando Sentinel that if LSU defenders had a chance to tackle Tebow on Saturday in Gainesville, they would try their best to "take him out of the game."
"Every lineman wants to get a good hit on a Heisman Trophy winner," Jean-Francois added. After those comments were published, he said they had been misinterpreted. "We never go into any football game trying to hurt a player from the other team," the junior said in a written statement released by the team. "We have great respect for Tim as player and a competitor. By taking him out of the game, I meant as a defense we are going to try to make him ineffective. I'm sorry that my initial comments were interpreted another way."
One of the top shot putters in the NCAA in 2008, Jean-Francois stepped into the circle at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships for the first time in his collegiate career. He placed 18th at the national meet in Des Moines, Iowa, with a throw of 57 feet, 9 3/4 inches.
Positives: Tall, but can still use leverage to bull rush his man into the pocket. … Violent with his hands, able to rip off blocks inside to make plays on the ball. … Impressive in his ability to stand his man up and discard him to either side. … Rarely gets moved when facing a one-on-one block. … Moves fluidly down the line, able to eat up a wide running lane with his length. … Recognizes the screen. … Imposing figure when closing, will work toward the quarterback if he's in sight. … Impacts passing lanes and can block kicks using his height and reach.
Negatives: A bit lean for some NFL defensive coordinators, but not considerably light. … High pad level allows double-team blocks to sweep him aside. … Inconsistent initial quickness off the snap and he guesses the snap count at times. … Could hustle and chase the ball more often. … Not quick enough to keep off a cut block, but recovers well. … Does not consistently play to his timed speed, lumbering in space and lacking elite stop-start quickness.
Compares To: JON BRADLEY, Detroit — Jean-Francois has exceptional playing strength, but has failed to live up to his lofty press clippings. He has had academic issues, off-field problems and an overall inconsistent performance on the field. He can easily shed blocks and power through the line, but lacks focus. He runs his mouth more than Warren Sapp, but with 56 tackles in 25 games, it is obvious he can't back up his bold comments. Unless someone feels that they have patient veterans to mentor him, it is doubtful that he will live up to his own opinion of himself.
Injury Report
2008: Missed the second half vs. Mississippi State (9/27) and sat out the Florida (10/11) and South Carolina contests (10/18) with a right groin strain.
2009: Could not complete agility tests at the NFL Combine due to his right groin injury.

text: Washington (ANI): Sir Paul McCartney is on a new quest these days hunting for an apartment near his ladylove Nancy Shevells New York home, according to reports. The former Beatle star has been seeing the American heiress since last year and is now said to have made moves to purchase a property closer to her Upper East Side residence in the city. McCartney formerly owned a place in midtown Manhattan with ex-wife Heather Mills who settled into her own apartment in the citys star-studded downtown West Village earlier this year (08). Hes been looking at eight-figure apartments. I think he just wants to rid himself of the Heather factor, Contactmusic quoted a source, as telling the New York Post.

DORSET woke up to heavy snow yesterday, which caused severe disruption for schools, roads and services.
Residents across the county encountered the first widespread snowfall of the winter, with up to five inches on the ground.
And it was soon followed by reports of traffic incidents and lengthy tailbacks, right in the middle of the morning rush-hour.
The snow also shut most schools and colleges across the area, forced bus and train companies to amend their timetables and led to bin collections being cancelled.
Although the snow was predicted and council gritters were out in force, it still caused chaos on the roads.
Two jack-knifed lorries closed a section of the A35 in Dorchester, blocked the A354 Blandford by-pass and there was a five car collision on the A31 at the Ringwood and Fordingbridge turn-off.
Wareham Road in Corfe Mullen was closed because of a bus across the road and a 40ft tree fell at Boundary Road in Ensbury Park, Bournemouth, blocking the footpath.
Herbert Avenue, Ringwood Road and Alder Road in Poole were all declared impassable by Dorset Police, as were many roads in Swanage.
A road accident at Harman's Cross brought down power cables, leaving residents without power for four hours in the morning and Ulwell Road in Swanage and Wimborne Hill in Wimborne Minster were both closed due to heavy snow.
In Purbeck, a number of vehicles became stuck due to the wintry conditions. At 6.45am a blue transit van got stuck at the Swanage end of the road. Then, around 7.20am, several vehicles including a large van became stuck on a hill near Corfe Castle.
On many of the main roads that were open, motorists sat in lengthy tailbacks. Wimborne Road in Winton, Ashley Road in Parkstone and Talbot Avenue in Bournemouth were particularly slow.
Side roads around the area were treacherous.
Bus services were limited to main roads in Poole and services to Wimborne, Corfe Mullen and Merley were cancelled. The Sandbanks Ferry operated a reduced 30-minute service and South West Trains ran a revised timetable. Bournemouth, Poole and Purbeck councils suspended rubbish and recycling collections and the household recycling centres at Nuffield and Millhams were closed in the morning. Wareham Library was also closed.
Bournemouth council sent teams of workers out to hand-grit priority pedestrian areas, including GP surgeries and shopping precincts and Poole staff re-filled the 50-plus grit bins.
Herbert Avenue, where residents reported problems, was done in the morning and the gritters continued to work throughout the day, the council said.
In Poole's Alder Road, where dozens of cars skidded out of control throughout the morning, one man was praised for helping stricken drivers.
Childminder Natalie O'Brien, whose home backs onto Alder Road, told the Daily Echo: "This guy was doing a fantastic job.
"He was running up and down the hill warning drivers and stopping traffic from getting into trouble. There were lots of cars spinning, some 360 degrees. If it wasn't for this man there would have been even more problems."

Is there a conundrum here that democratic India has done worse than China in educating its citizens and improving their health? Perhaps, but the puzzle need not be a brainteaser. Democratic participation, free expression and rule of law are largely realities in India, and still largely aspirations in China. India has not had a famine since independence, while China had the largest famine in recorded history, from 1958 to 1961, when Mao's disastrous Great Leap Forward killed some 30 million people. Nevertheless, using democratic means to remedy endemic problems — chronic undernourishment, a disorganized medical system or dysfunctional school systems — demands sustained deliberation, political engagement, media coverage, popular pressure. In short, more democratic process, not less.
In China, decision making takes place at the top. The country's leaders are skeptical, if not hostile, with regard to the value of multiparty democracy, but they have been strongly committed to eliminating hunger, illiteracy and medical neglect, and that is enormously to their credit.
There are inevitable fragilities in a nondemocratic system because mistakes are hard to correct. Dissent is dangerous. There is little recourse for victims of injustice. Edicts like the one-child policy can be very harsh. Still, China's present leaders have used the basic approach of accelerating development by expanding human capability with great decisiveness and skill.
