Polly's Bat Sizzling
Polly's bat remained sizzling while other bats awoke in the Phillies win Wednesday night, ending a 5-2 road trip. The win upped the Phillies day game record to 9-0, the only team in the majors without a loss in such games.
Led by his four hits, the top three batters went 8-for-15 with seven runs scored and four RBI. Polly awoke this morning with a .389 batting average, second-best in the NL. He has 37 hits in April, one shy of Chase's 2008 first-month total. Records date back to 1970.
The offense, which has struggling, produced six extra-base hits out of the dozen. Everybody bemoaned the silent offense but it happens. The World Champion Giants have lost six of seven, scoring 14 runs while batting .188.
Cole benefitted from the offensive attack. He did allow his first home run of the season but the game was in hand. According to ESPN.com, he threw 31 cutters, the most for any of his starts this season.
Team has a day off today and then the red-hot Mets come to town, winners of their last six going into their game tonight in Washington, DC. Saturday's 1:10 p.m. game is a FOX telecast and Sunday's 8:05 p.m. game will be on ESPN.
Helping Japan
On Friday, as part of Asian Pacific Night, the Phillies will be joining Major League Baseball's efforts to raise funds for UNICEF to benefit the relief efforts in Japan.
A silent auction till take place in the first base plaza. Fans may also contribute financially at each gate.

The Manchester Series
Manchester Shaker Black (Semi-Custom)
CARB stands for California Air Resources Board, also known as Air Resources Board (ARB). It is a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency. It was established in 1967 with the purpose of maintaining and improving air quality, and researching causes and solutions of air pollution. CARB's mandates, such as CARB 2 compliant MDF, are strict and usually are considered the standard across the United States.
What is CARB Phase 2 Compliant?
CARB Phase 1 and Phase 2 are a part of California's Composite Wood Products Regulation (CWP Regulation), which took effect in 2009 with Phase 1. The regulation has to do with reducing formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, hardwood plywood, particleboard and medium density fiberboard (MDF). In the 2009 rollout of the CARB's Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM), formaldehyde emissions were capped at .08 parts per million (ppm). CARB Phase 2 went into effect in 2010 and has much lower formaldehyde emissions than the previous phase; set at .05 ppm. A main reason why the CARB ATCM is the strictest air quality measure is because it CAPS emissions levels. Other air quality standards are averages.

The Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association Certification Program assures the specifier or user of kitchen cabinets and bath vanities that the cabinet bearing the blue and white seal complies with the rigorous standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and sponsored by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA).
5 reasons why certified cabinetry a must for today's performance-conscious homeowner:
KCMA's rigorous, in-laboratory compliance program measures the integrity of your cabinetry through five tests. These tests evaluate cabinet structure, door and drawer operation, and the cabinetry finish, making certain each feature complies with the nationally recognized standards developed by KCMA. In today's competitive homebuilding industry, the KCMA cabinetry standards are well respected and serve as a best-in-class benchmark for cabinet manufacturers.
- Weight Tests: For seven days, in a laboratory environment, cabinet shelves and bottoms are loaded with 15 pounds of weight per square foot. Technicians monitor the cabinetry for signs of joint separation or other failures of the cabinets or their mounting systems. Other weight tests include gradually loading 500 pounds into mounted cabinets, simulating the stress on a heavily loaded cabinet, and dropping a three-pound steel ball onto cabinet bottoms from six inches above the surface, replicating dropped cans.
- Slide Tests: Few families will open and close cabinets as frequently - or as vigorously - as they are during KCMA certification testing. But that's the point. After the KCMA slides cabinets for 25,000 cycles, while they hold 15 pounds per square foot, you know your KCMA-certified cabinetry will keep pace with your active lifestyle.
- Swing Tests: How do you avoid the shoddy look of loose or unaligned cabinet doors that often occurs over time? You buy certified cabinets. During two separate tests - focusing on the cabinet doors and hinges-the KCMA test their ability to withstand 65 pounds of weight and 25,000 swing cycles. KCMA-certified cabinetry continues to operate flawlessly with no signs of damage or looseness.
- Spill Tests: Because the finish of your cabinetry is one of its most visible features, the KCMA test it to make certain it's manufactured to withstand potentially abrasive substances. KCMA exposes cabinetry to such stain threats as vinegar, grape juice, coffee, alcohol, and even mustard for varying amounts of time. The result? Cabinets that earn the KCMA certification seal show no discoloration that can't easily be polished away.
- Heat Tests: After sweltering in a humid, 120-degree hotbox for 24 hours, how do KCMA-certified cabinets respond? Beautifully. With no discoloration or blistering, your certified cabinets prove they can handle the inevitable temperature hazards in your kitchen.

"Loosely based on a true Marin County, California murder case in the late 1970's; part thriller, part love story, and part family narrative. Two young inseparable sisters enjoy spending their school vacation time on the mountain near their home until a series of murders intrude on their games, bringing a danger and division into their lives. A masterful piece of storytelling with bits of humor to offset the suspenseful emotions; ending thirty years later with a promised vindication.
-Carol Hicks, Bookshelf, Truckee, CA"
— Carol Hicks, Bookshelf At Hooligan Rocks, Truckee, CA
The New York Times bestselling author of Labor Day and The Good Daughters returns with a haunting novel of sisterhood, sacrifice, and suspense.
I was always looking for excitement, until I found some . . .
Summer, 1979. A dry, hot Northern California school vacation stretches before Rachel and her younger sister, Patty—the daughters of a larger-than-life, irresistibly handsome (and chronically unfaithful) detective father and the mother whose heart he broke.
When we first meet her, Patty is eleven—a gangly kid who loves basketball and dogs and would do anything for her older sister, Rachel. Rachel is obsessed with making up stories and believes she possesses the gift of knowing what's in the minds of people around her. She has visions, whether she wants to or not. Left to their own devices, the sisters spend their days studying record jackets, concocting elaborate fantasies about the mysterious neighbor who moved in down the street, and playing dangerous games on the mountain that looms behind their house.
When young women start turning up dead on the mountain, the girls' father is put in charge of finding the murderer known as the "Sunset Strangler." Watching her father's life slowly unravel as months pass and more women are killed, Rachel embarks on her most dangerous game yet . . . using herself as bait to catch the killer. But rather than cracking the case, the consequences of Rachel's actions will destroy her father's career and alter forever the lives of everyone she loves.
Thirty years later, still haunted by the belief that the killer remains at large, Rachel constructs a new strategy to smoke out the Sunset Strangler and vindicate her father—a plan that unexpectedly unearths a long-buried family secret.
Loosely inspired by the Trailside Killer case that terrorized Marin County, California, in the late 1970s, After Her is part thriller, part love story. Maynard has created a poignant, suspenseful, and painfully real family saga that traces a young girl's first explorations of sexuality, the loss of innocence, the bond shared by sisters, and the tender but damaged relationship between a girl and her father that endures even beyond the grave.
Joyce Maynard is the author of eight previous novels, including To Die For, Labor Day, The Good Daughters, and four books of nonfiction. Her bestselling memoir, At Home in the World, has been translated into sixteen languages. She lives in California.

|Condition or disease
|Multiple System Atrophy
|Drug: L-Threo DOPS Drug: placebo
|Phase 2 Phase 3
Background :
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, sporadic progressive neurodegenerative disorder, rapidly leading to severe disability and impairment of quality of life. MSA is characterized by a variable combination of a poor levodopa parkinsonism and /or cerebellar ataxia and autonomic failure (cardiovascular and / or bladder and sexual dysfunction) (Gilman et al, 2008). The prevalence is approximately 4-5 cases per 100 000 inhabitants.
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is one of the major symptoms of MSA, present in a large majority of patients, leading to significant disability because of impaired balance, falls and possibly syncope. Drugs available to treat OH in this disease are very limited.
L-ThreoDOPS (L DOPS or DroxiDopa) is an orally administered synthetic catecholamine acid that is converted to the sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) through a single step of decarboxylation by the endogenous enzyme 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) decarboxylase. It prevents symptoms related to OH by central and/peripheral mechanisms. This drug is currently developed for "neurogenic OH" by Chelsea Therapeutics on the basis of short duration placebo-controlled randomized trials. Besides an expected effect on OH, L-DOPS may also, by noradrenergic stimulation, improve some motor and non-motor symptoms common and disabling in MSA patients such as akinesia and fatigue.
In this context, the French reference center for MSA and the 12 national centers with identified skills to manage this disease, propose to conduct a national multicenter randomized clinical trial versus placebo to evaluate the long term efficacy (3 months) of L-threo DOPS on the OH and other non-motor symptoms in MSA patients.

The Face of Love
Screens Friday, Oct. 11 7:30 p.m., Playhouse; Friday, Oct. 11. 7 p.m. The Centre
Imagine if you lost a loved one, then saw their doppelgänger on the street soon after. The moment would leave you breathless and no doubt trapped somewhere between mourning and euphoria. For writer-director Arie Posin, the idea didn't need any power of imagination: It actually happened to his mother, prompting him to put pen to paper and turn it into a new movie starring Annette Bening and Ed Harris called The Face of Love.
"My mom came over a few years after my dad had passed away and says … very lightly, 'This funny thing happened to me today: I was in a crosswalk and went across the street and saw this man walking towards me who was the perfect double of your father. I had my glasses in my hand and was about to put them on and then I didn't because I knew it wasn't him, of course, but he had this great smile on his face and it was nice to imagine it was him. And then the light turned.'"
Posin says that story circled his mind for years.
"When I finally sat down to write it, I thought I was writing a story about my mom. But my mom didn't obsess about it at all. I realized I was making a movie about me."
A bittersweet story that combines elements of loss with beats of deep personal discovery, The Face of Love is an altogether unorthodox romance, but it makes the same leaps of faith — and bounds of denial, as Annette Bening meets a man who looks just like her dead husband and starts up a relationship with the dead ringer.
"She is falling in love, but she is also losing herself in it," says Posin. "There's a sense of the growing madness, but we still need to identify with her because she's our way into the movie. We have to go with her on that journey."
Posin knew he needed to cast an actor who could capture the depth and sensitivity required to make us care, without leaning on sentimentalism.
"Annette was an obvious first choice," he says. "She embodied the emotional state of that character better than anyone.
"I wish I had more words at my disposal to describe her commitment to get at the truth and wanting to make it true and real. She is as committed to that as I am to the movie being good."
Yet, writing a story with a female lead proved a significant liability when it came time to finance the movie, even with Bening.
"Nobody wanted to finance the movie — even with these actors at a modest budget. It's a woman in the lead role, it stars actors who are not in their 20s and on the cover of US Weekly, and it's drama. It had three strikes," he says.
"The financiers who were bold enough had never invested in movies before … but they saw an opportunity because every time I go out there … people always say why aren't they making more movies like this?"
Posin says he makes movies he would like to see himself, which is why he created characters who were older, wiser, more textured and more versed in matters of life and death.
Posin explains the eight-year gap between his last movie, Chumscrubber, and Face of Love with a story of development hell: He was working on a satire of the Iraq War when he lost a key cast member, then the markets crashed, and then that movie was dead.
"In tough times, it's even tougher on the arts," he says.
As the child of Russian exiles who escaped to Israel, Posin says he grew up with a fundamental appreciation for the arts, and their importance in the creation of a noble mind. He says that sensibility was nurtured during his early years in Canada.
"I was born in Israel, but my family really wanted to come west at a time when it was very difficult. Everyone rejected them except Canada. Canada threw out a life preserver and saved our family."
Posin now makes his home in the U.S. but he loves coming back to Canada and seeing his family. "My father was a director in Russia, and the Toronto Star did a series of articles about him, and it was all about his experiences in the underground and wanting to have freedom of expression.
"The picture of us all getting our citizenship is still on the wall at my mom's house."
In the end, every movie you make is about your own experience, says Posin. "There's an unconscious thing that every project speaks to. And I've learned to trust that feeling of rightness."
Capsule review: The Face of Love
Is it just a face that we fall in love with? Of course not, it's a whole lot more complicated than that. But when you're desperate, and you want to believe, just about anything is possible. For Nikki (Annette Bening), things she never thought possible have been happening with uncomfortable frequency — beginning with the unexpected death of her husband. Just when she makes the decision to move on, she sees a man who looks just like him, and starts pursuing a fantasy that eventually forces her to reconcile the ghost of the past. Thanks to Bening's incredibly nuanced turn in the lead, the movie finds an even and loving hand [Note] through the bizarre twists and turns that make you blush one minute and squirm the next. Robin Williams is also solid as the nice guy next-door neighbour with a crush on our lead, while Ed Harris gets to live the actor fantasy and play two parts in one.

I'm spending part of the summer dyeing dance flies at a nature reserve near Loch Lomond. Yesterday's flies were electric blue. Today's were day-glo orange. Tomorrow they will be lemon yellow. After dyeing them, I'm releasing them back into the wild. The high visibility will allow me to recognise them if I recapure any of them the following day.
On my first day, my supervisor Dr Luc drove me and my assistant to the site and showed us the areas we are to work in, and how to carry out the research project in a sufficiently scientific manner. We are working with gigantic fly nets, which we swing maniacally around our heads whenever our swarm convenes. Each fly captured in the net goes into an individual phial.
After half an hour of frantic net-swinging, it's time to sex and dye the flies. Each one is checked for gender, dropped into a vial of dye, given a shake, and released. The vegetation is soon adorned with brightly-coloured dance flies. Some of them take to the air straight away, and look very pretty in the sunshine. Others prefer to clean themselves first.
The university's Health and Safety rules say I must have an assistant for field research, because my ability to walk varies. Katydid is perfect for the job: she's as batty about wildlife as I am, and strong as an ox. She carries all my stuff – lunch, water, spare jumpers, survival gear, seventy-odd vials, paintbrushes, wooden stakes, hammers, forceps, chocolate, jars of ethanol… you name it. Even though I had hoped the university would loan me a donkey to carry my stuff, I have to admit that Katydid makes a very decent pack-horse.
The jars of ethanol are for the malaise traps. As well as painting flies, we have set up traps on the reserve to assay the insect life. I can't say I am delighted about this part of the project, as it's essentially mass murder – but the results can be fascinating and useful. Flying insects are trapped and preserved in jars of ethanol hanging from the tent-like structure in the photo above.
This is a personal test for me, to explore how far I am able to stretch my powerful moral boundary about harming animals. I need to know if I can make this a part of my future career in Zoology. We are carrying out our mass murdering in a protected area that's not open to the public, and we have special dispensation to do it. The idea is to provide ecological organisations with information about the species present on this land, while at the same time gathering information about dance fly prevalence for the university. I am self-justifying my killing in terms of its assistance towards preserving biodiversity.
I was pleased to learn that Dr Luc also has moral feelings regarding invertebrate death and suffering. He and his colleagues display genuine affection for the creatures they study. I don't find this attitude much in the human world: non-fluffy things with lots of legs are generally considered fair game for cruelty. My childhood role model was the conservationist Gerald Durrell, a self-styled "champion of small uglies".
It helps me to know that the "small uglies" we trap won't be flung in the bin when we're done with them. Dr Luc is not wasteful about death, and he keeps all malaise-trapped insects for future entomological projects. Some of his students are going to spend hours at the microscope, dissecting the ovaries of pickled flies the size of pinheads. I think Gerald Durrell would approve.

Here's a piece in today's Wall Street Journal from Ben Cohen, Duke '10, former Deadspin intern and author of An Illustrated History of Duke Basketball: A Legacy of Achievement, this column on why you shouldn't hate Duke, and this series of columns on why you should like Duke.
The study purports to discover that Dick Vitale does not have a pro-Duke bias. (The report was gleefully and repeatedly tweeted out by multiple ESPN flacks.) The research consisted of watching five Duke games. Additional research, culled from watching college basketball for decades, indicates otherwise. You decide!

Our audiences are decision makers for those that run elections. They are often a member of the local government.
Our current logo (viewed here in top left corner – http://www.dominionvoting.com) we like and plan to continue using. In our market our logo it is recognized for its distinctive colours, which we use throughout out marketing collateral. We are looking to enhance this logo by potentially repositioning it and/or adding a graphic to the logo. We are not rebranding here – just evolving. The graphic within the logo would be able to represent our company without the full copy of "dominion voting" – think Nike "swoosh" or Motorola "batwing".
Other Info:
- Continue to use red, black, white and/or grey (we use these interchangeably but also need to be able to use the logo as just one of these colours as well)
- Simple design – no grading colour, fancy 3D graphics
- Be creative but you use our current logo in some form, some way (turn it upside down if it looks good… but we want it there)
- If you are feeling especially inspired and want to create something completely not involving our current logo, we will consider it but it must knock our socks off (and to be honest we would rather continue using the current logo in some way)
- Final file to be in Adobe Illustrator
We will review entries regularly and provide feedback to those that have potential. We will eliminate those that have completely missed the mark (ie didn't read all this!)

First and fourth ingredients are named meat products.
Use of controversial filler, chicken fat as third ingredient (a bloat risk factor for large breed dogs).
The first and fourth ingredients in the food are named meat products, both in meal form. The second ingredient is white rice, which is a reasonable quality grain if not as nutritious as brown rice.
It is a concern to see chicken fat as the third ingredient. Research at Purdue University has identified a fat in the top four ingredients of a dry dog food as a factor that increases the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.
Beet pulp is filler and a controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
Fish meal is the 7th ingredient and another meat product in the food. We note that the manufacturer does not claim to use ethoxyquin-free sources (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish destined for meal, and is believed to be carcinogenic).

Cementing yourself in the hall of gaming history requires a title to be filled with moments so unique, that it becomes instantly unforgettable. The tram sequence of Half Life, Metal Gear Solid 4's ending, these are moments that elevate the idea of a video game way beyond simple home entertainment.
The original Syndicate earned itself a place at the table of gaming greats very quickly. It played brilliantly, sounded great and looked quite unlike any other game available at the time. After more than 10 years the franchise has returned, this time in first person shooter form. But is the shift in perspective a good idea or is the game just moving with fashion? Does Syndicate do the original justice or will it end up tarnishing those great gaming memories?
I'm blue
Syndicate is blue. Rarely, if ever, does the game ditch its cooling filter. Everything is drenched in a cross-processed colour palette and the whole game runs with a heavy black vignette set around the screen. It works brilliantly and from the outset Syndicate nails its ultra-modern minimalist vision of the future perfectly.
Coupled with a tight graphics engine and varied environments which keep playing through the game exciting, Syndicate is one of the best-looking games we have stuck into our Xbox 360 in a while. Character models also look very good, as do the weapons. Unfortunately the script and most voice acting is a lot weaker, which does detract slightly from the visual prowess.
The game uses something called "dart assist" to put a futuristic overlay on top of the Syndicate world. Think of it like in-game augmented reality, it keeps you informed of everything you can interact with. Guns also have ammo counts and fire modes projected on to them. The end resulted is a pretty convoluted HUD, which often creates confusion during the more intense firefights. Shame really, as the rest of Syndicate's looks is spot on.
So what is Syndicate all about? The world has been transformed into a quasi-digital dataverse where people interact with objects around them using something called a DART chip embedded in their brains. The chip allows them, and thus you, to interact remotely with electronics and other people's DART hardware. The result is a world where class is divided by the quality of the chip in your brain.
At the top of the chip bearing elite are those who can do something called "breaching" - the ability to hacking something remotely, to get it to do what you want. The world has become divided between three vast corporations that are so big, full-scale syndicate wars take place between them.
It sets the scene for the game's inventive approach to shooting using the DART chip and also allows for the more impressive of the title's environments to make a bit more sense. You play an "enforcer" called Miles Kilo. His job, like all his enforcer mates, is to wreak havoc on behalf of your syndicate - Eurocorp. They are on the frontline of an inter-syndicate battle for new technology, which you obtain by yanking the chips out of the brains of high-ranking syndicate members.
All the brain-orientated technology justifies Syndicate's clever augmented reality world and Miles's power over electronic devices. It definitely works well on paper but the story is scripted in such a way that characters become quickly forgettable. In all honesty though, the breakneck-pace of the game means any cutscenes simply justify an environment change. We were happy to skip them and get on with the shooting. If you want an engaging story however, Syndicate probably isn't the game for you. Try Mass Effect 3, which has a similar feel but a more involving story.
Gameplay augmented
Syndicate plays out like an old-school shooter. Sure the Halo style health recharge is there, but other than that it feels more like something from the mid-Nineties to us. The closest way of describing how Syndicate plays is to look at the original Turok game on the N64.
Each weapon in the game forces you to play slightly differently. One, for example, will encourage hiding and then some shooting around corners. Another - the pistol, say - has a three-round alternate fire which makes it a perfect headshot gun for those quick on the trigger.
Enemies are absolutely brutal, they are incredibly accurate and will come at you in an unrelenting fashion. Expect a lot of circle strafing and hiding behind small objects as your health recharges.
On top of the normal shooting is your DART overlay and "apps". Enemies can be forced to commit suicide or have their weapons backfire on them. Turrets can be hacked to help you, and even things like lift doors can be used to slice enemies in two, when breached remotely. Switching to your dart-powered vision lets you see through walls and slow down time to pick off enemies easier. It all definitely works, but can quickly result in total mental overload when taking on multiple enemies in a firefight.
All this technology makes you feel incredibly powerful as a player. Once you nail using apps and breaching properly, you can destroy entire crowds of enemies without firing many shots. This is all changed when you take on a boss, or enforcer from another syndicate. They can do everything you can, and this sudden leveling of the playing field, coupled with dubstep from the likes of Skrillex, makes them very memorable indeed.
Syndicate is a good game. It has a unique look, which, coupled with a great set of graphics makes for a very visceral experience. Boss battles are a particular highlight, as is the futuristic dubstep soundtrack running alongside them. Sadly the game is marred by an incredibly ballsy A.I. which results in plenty of unfair-feeling deaths.
The story is also not hugely grabbing, which is a shame as it could have reached Deus Ex levels of futuristic goodness if it had a script to back up the style. If you fancy an exciting shooting experience that plays out slightly different to the conventional FPS, Syndicate is the thing for you. If you want that little bit more and a complete sci-fi experience, then perhaps wait until they get the formula right. The world created is spot on, the game itself just needs a bit of work.

Windsor Windows' Cathy Leonard Talks Superior Craftsmanship and Innovation in Replacement Windows
Unless you operate in new construction or architectural circles, you may not be familiar with Windsor Windows but you should be if you're considering window replacement. The brand is synonymous with superior craftsmanship combined with innovation. Creating premium, high quality windows and patio doors for half a century, Windsor's attention to detail is evident on many of the finest homes in the country but their selection has something for every need and budget.
Though they are not sold on the shelves of your local Big Box hardware store, Windsor's replacement and new construction windows are available through some 250 select dealers across the country. We spoke with Windsor's Communications Director, Cathy Leonard, about some of the best attributes of the brand and how the company's commitment to community plays an important role in their products. (This phone interview has been edited for length and clarity).
RWFD: Windsor Windows works with builders and architects across the country on a variety of projects, many of which feature classic architecture and grace design magazine covers. How does Windsor address the unique needs of traditional aesthetics coupled with the latest innovations?
CL: For the last two decades, we have been producing the Legend series of window which is really a perfect hybrid for classic and innovative. It is a solid extruded vinyl window made of cellular PVC that offers the traditional appearance of wood without the risk of decay. It is especially popular in regions that suffer from rot or termites but enjoy classic architecture, such as the South East. Outside the window performs exceptionally well and is low maintenance, but inside it looks like a traditional wood window giving home owners the best of both worlds.
RWFD: Speaking of the south east, extreme weather can inflict great damage to homes that have windows incapable of withstanding impact and wind. Having worked on many such projects, does Windsor offer a particular line with these homes in mind?
CL: Yes. We offer several options with high DP (Design Pressure) ratings. DP ratings are very important in our industry and they measure a window's durability for wind and water in extreme conditions. For people living in regions that experience extreme weather, which actually is a large portion of this country considering storms, tornadoes and more, they absolutely need to look for high DP ratings in their windows.
Both our Impact and Legend High Performance lines address these issues. This week we are launching a third line, our Pinnacle Select , which we are extremely proud of and excited to offer. Along with the use of elite hardwoods like Douglas Fir, Natural Alder and Pine, it has heavier components and very impressive performance ratings. The DP range is between 50 and 70 on these windows which is remarkable considering comparable windows typically fall in the 30 to 40 range.
RWFD: Though not as exciting as other choices a window shopper will make, the glass is one of the most important decisions that will dictate to a large degree the energy efficiency of the window. What can customers expect from Windsor's glass options?
CL: We produce our own insulated glass line which is unique in the industry as most are outsourced. We call it the Windsor Glazing System. It features Low-e panes and is one of the most efficient options on the market today. Most every Windsor window contains this glass with only a very few exceptions where we work with a high performance glass producer on select designs. By using our own glass, we know the quality is there to meet our clients' demands and our own.
All of our windows are energy efficient and I encourage people to visit our Energy Performance Search Tool online to discover the specific ratings of each window we make with their available options added.
RWFD: Cladding on wood windows is an increasingly popular choice as it offers long term durability with low maintenance. But many window shoppers are often confused by the differences in cladding options. Windsor utilizes extruded cladding. How does this form compare to the common roll-form?
CL: That's a great question and an important one for customers to understand. There is a significant difference between extruded and roll-form cladding. Many of the large manufacturers utilize roll-form which dings and dents very easily due to its thin nature. Owners notice these issues after weathering occurs, such as hail storms, or where something impacted the window and an unsightly indentation is made.
By using thick extruded cladding, our windows are much stronger and more stable. And because we encase the wood in the cladding, decay is prevented and there is very low maintenance over the life of the window. In the last 10 years, we've seen a large and growing percentage of clients choose our cladding options.
Another great thing about cladding is that there are so many exterior finishes to choose from! We have 37 colors and finishes and can even create custom ones if necessary. This means there's no need to refinish and repaint your windows as you would with traditional wood windows.
RWFD: Windsor takes a very active role in its community and beyond. Last year, Windsor participated in an episode of ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition by donating windows to a family in need and volunteering for the installation project. Can you tell us a little more about this community focus?
CL: Thank you for asking about this. In the last decade, we have focused on community involvement at all levels within the company. We are very active with Habitat for Humanity around our Des Moines, Iowa, headquarters. Next month, we are coordinating an effort for all of our employees to participate in building these homes for people in need in addition to donating our windows for these purposes. But we do things around the country, as well. Following Hurricane Katrina, the Katrina Cottages were built with our Legend series windows which, as we discussed, are rated for high impact and energy efficiency. We certainly take community involvement very seriously here at Windsor and will continue to do so.
RWFD: Lastly, if a home owner isn't currently working with a builder or architect but would like to consider Windsor for their replacement window needs, where should they go to start?
CL: Our customers can start by going to our Dealer Locator on our website and finding the nearest dealer to them. Then they can arrange for measurements, estimates, orders and installation. Our website itself is a great resource that we are really proud of. It's easy to use and has all of the information right there- whether you are looking for design ideas, energy efficiency ratings or more detailed specifications.
RWFD: Cathy, thanks for making us a little more savvy about Windsor Windows today. It was a pleasure!
CL: Thank you!

A young American defense came apart on a hot, tropical afternoon, and the United States opened the final round of World Cup qualifying with a loss for the first time in 24 years.
Jerry Bengtson took advantage of a defensive mix-up to score the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute, and Honduras rallied to beat the United States 2-1 at San Pedro Sula.
"They were a much better team than us today. We did look flat," American goalkeeper Tim Howard said.
U.S. & World
Clint Dempsey put the U.S. ahead in the 36th minute with an impressive volley, but the Americans gave up the lead when Juan Carlos Garcia scored with a bicycle kick in the 40th that should make the highlights reels of the best goals of 2013.
Bengtson, who plays for Major League Soccer's New England Revolution, scored the winner when defender Geoff Cameron and Howard both went for a pass by Maynor Figueroa to Oscar Boniek Garcia. That allowed Garcia to tap the ball across to Bengtson for a shot into an open net, and Omar Gonzalez was too late to challenge him.
"It was definitely a dagger. I didn't see that coming," said Gonzalez, who started in place of longtime captain Carlos Bocanegra. "I didn't see the guy on the back post. Maybe I should have looked over my shoulder and saw him quicker."
The game marked a generational change for the U.S. defense, with right back Timmy Chandler (age 22) making his competitive debut and ending his eligibility to play for Germany. Gonzalez (24) and Cameron (27) paired together in central defense for the first time, and Fabian Johnson (25) was at left back.
Gonzalez had a chance to redeem himself, getting his head on a corner kick by Graham Zusi in the final seconds of stoppage time. But his shot from the 6-yard box sailed well above the crossbar.
"Overall, there were too many mistakes done and too many players today just didn't reach their usual potential," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "They stayed behind their own game and therefore, it's really difficult coming away with a win here if you're not having everybody 100 percent at their limits."
Playing without Landon Donovan, a veteran of three World Cups who is unsure whether to continue his career, the 28th-ranked U.S. was under pressure for much of the match. No. 59 Honduras had the better chances, forcing Howard into several difficult saves.
"Not the way we wanted to start, but look, it's a long road," American midfielder Michael Bradley said. "Nobody on our end expects to go 10-0-0. That's the reality. There's six good teams. There's tough stadiums to play in, there's tough atmospheres."
The U.S., seeking its seventh straight trip to soccer's showcase, lost its final-round opener for the first time since 1989 in Costa Rica. The Americans had been 12-3-3 against Honduras, including 3-0 in qualifiers at San Pedro Sula.
The U.S. overcame that last opening loss to earn a spot in the 1990 World Cup, the Americans' first appearance since 1950.
"Most of these guys are playing in Europe, and you come in here today at it's, like, 90 degrees, the game's at 3 o'clock," said Dempsey, who went the distance Sunday in London for Tottenham. "It's a difficult game because you can't press and run and have the endurance that you would have in other games."
Klinsmann used his three substitutes in the early part of the second half, inserting Maurice Edu, Sacha Kljestan and Zusi for Danny Williams, Eddie Johnson and Jermaine Jones.
"We had problems closing down the passing lanes, also on the outsides throughout the whole first half and also in the second half," Klinsmann said. "I think with Maurice Edu, things kind of calmed down a bit. He cleaned more up. He played simple balls. We kept more possession. That's what we were asking for."
The U.S. went ahead when Jozy Altidore played the ball to Jones, who flicked the ball over the defense. In full stride, Dempsey volleyed the ball with his right foot past goalkeeper Noel Valladares from 8 yards. With his 31st goal in 92 appearances, Dempsey moved past Brian McBride into sole possession of third place on the U.S. career scoring list. Dempsey has six of the Americans' 12 goals in qualifying for 2014.
But for the fourth straight road qualifier, the U.S. scored first only to give up the lead — on a play strung together by three defenders.
Oscar Boniek Garcia's corner kick went all the way to the opposite side of the field, bounced four times and was played back to the center by Victor Bernandez after no American chased the ball down. Figueroa chested the pass up to Juan Carlos Garcia, who with his back to the goal scored on an overhead kick from 10 yards that went to Howard's right, leaving the goalkeeper bent over in shock. It was Garcia's first goal in 18 international appearances.
"It's a great goal. Nine times out of 10 it goes up in the stands," Howard said. "From there on, I don't think we played nearly as well as we could have. And I think we got outplayed in a lot of facets of the game."
The general rule in qualifying is to win home games and pick up points on the road. The top three nations in the six-team group represent North and Central America and the Caribbean at next year's tournament in Brazil, and the No. 4 country advances to a playoff for another berth, likely against New Zealand.
Qualifying resumes when the U.S. hosts Costa Rica on March 22 at Commerce City, Colo., then plays four days later at Mexico. The Americans play at Jamaica on June 7.
"You never want to start with zero. but you can't panic. There's nine more games to go," Bradley said. "At this point the three points in the next game are crucial."

No Vegetarian Meal Options on Flights?? (A.K.A. American Airlines sucks!)
Apparently American Airlines does not offer vegetarian meal options on "short-haul" flights, even if those flights have meals. When I called to request a vegan meal they never told me this, so I was a bit shocked when my only options were "chicken or beef" on my Guayaquil-Miami flight :|
I asked the purser on the flight for a meal voucher to use in the airport and she said no, then I complained via e-mail and was basically told "tough shit." I've never heard of such a thing, has anyone else had a similar experience??
I have heard the whole "no such request was made" in the past, which is why I always call at least twice and then confirm again with the ticket agent at the airport. (Admittedly on this flight I used a kiosk to check in.. still.) But I've never been told that no special meal requests are available for a flight that serves everyone else. The whole situation pissed me off and makes me never want to fly American again.
Agreed. But I don't think it's only American. And a lot of flights don't have ANY meal option anymore. And when they do have them, often they are pretty gross, like the one I had this summer on Continental.
I always bring food for my family on flights. Favorites are pb&j (with pb on both sides of the bread and jelly in the middle so they don't get soggy) and chikn nuggets or patties. Both of those hold up rather well to being jostled and a rather lengthy period of no refrigeration.
You have to call and specifically request a vegetarian or vegan meal or they won't have an option for you. Never bothered doing that with shorter flights, >6 hours, but I'm sorry to hear about your experience. As a semi-frequent traveler, I know to bring my own food or starve.
That they'd take your request, even though they had no intention to honor it is a good reason for me to never fly American. Based on their attitude, I bet they do that for a lot of things and not just meals. American also has one of the highest lost luggage rates.
It's not just American! You request a vegan meal, on any major airline, and you'lll get it for the long flight legs (maybe) - the ones that involve crossing an ocean. But "short" flights (say, only 4 or 5 hours) they promise you a special meal & pretend it was an accident that you didn't get it. (I finally had a flight attendant fess up after this had happened more times than I could count). It has happened to me on nearly every major carrier - both American &int'l. They all do it. Pack some good snacks.
If you can...because since 9/11 and other attacks so many airlines have so many restrictions, taking your own snacks may not be doable. I know it isn't on European airlines. No water in bottles (except for babies, and even then they check it), no shampoos or cream rinse in your carryon luggage, no food. Which of course means you are limited to airline/airport food, which you pay for handsomely.

Kiwi And Berries Jelly~Agar-Agar
Just last week, I lamented that the weather was not Summer like over here in Vancouver. Guess what? The sun is finally out, and I couldn't be happier. Got the kids to join me on a stroll along the beach and we enjoyed a little picnic as well over the weekend. I packed some salad with grilled chicken and a refreshing Kiwi And Berries Jelly to cool us down. Anyway, my summer vacation starts tomorrow, and I will try to share some new recipes with you whenever possible. So, have a great summer everyone!
Kiwi And Berries Jelly~Agar-Agar
2 Kiwi Fruits, peeled and sliced
125 g Blueberries, rinsed
170 g Blackberries, rinsed
70 g Raspberries, rinsed
10 Medium-Sized Strawberries, hulled and sliced
4 Cups of Water
3 tsp Agar-Agar Powder
½ Cup Rose Water
6 Tbsp Sugar, or more to taste
1-rectangular baking dish or tin
In a large saucepan, combine water, agar-agar powder, rose water, and sugar and bring it to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until agar-agar and sugar completely dissolves, about 10 minutes.
Take the pan off the heat immediately, and strain the contents into a baking dish. Set aside to cool for about 5 minutes, and scattered the fruits into the agar-agar mixture. When cool, chill the jelly in the refrigerator. Cut as desired and serve chilled.

The Health Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) give patients a right to be informed of the privacy practices of their health care providers and health plans and of their privacy rights regarding their personal health information. HIPAA requires providers and plans to notify patients of these rights. By using a model notice, you will know you are providing the information in compliance with the regulations and that the notice reflects recent regulatory changes to the HIPAA privacy and security rules. You can download the model notice as a booklet, as a multipage document, as a single page presentation, or as text only. APTA includes this and many other resources on its HIPAA webpage. Comments Thank you for this help!! I just wish it had come sooner--I mean only 2 working days until mandatory compliance?! Most of us have already spent lots of time and energy on this. Posted by Deb Stewart on 9/20/2013 1:29 PM This has been a concern and worry and I have spent hours trying to get a complete HIPPA form in place. I appreciate and will use this but 2 days before mandated?? Good grief. Posted by Gillian Borden on 9/21/2013 11:02 AM APTA volunteers and staff: thanks again for making us aware of changes and new regs. So very grateful to have sample forms etc. Great timesaver but more importantly, gives me assurance I will get it right and that I do not have to recreate or start from scratch -- thanks again. Posted by Donna on 11/19/2013 12:09 PM Starting up a brand new practice is a scary thing. Especially if you grew up in poverty. Having access to forms like these is a real blessing for those of us just entering the field, saving us lots of time. Having required documents that are correctly put together according to the law keeps us from having to be lawyers in order to practice our medicine. So to those of you who put so much effort and time into creating these and making them available to us, thank you. Blessings to you. Peace to you and yours.

Ordinary people in two of West Africa's poorest countries stand to gain if conflict is avoided and a long-standing border dispute is resolved amicably: As hearings at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague on the Burkina Faso-Niger border ended on 17 October, delegations from both countries expressed hope the verdict will strengthen relations between them.
Low-level tension has been simmering for years between Niger and Burkina Faso over their 650km border. The dispute originated in 1927 when the then colonial power, France, imprecisely demarcated the border in an administrative decree.
''I hope the judgment of the court will help further strengthen the good relations between our two countries,'' Niger's foreign minister, Bazoum Mohamed, told reporters at the close of the hearings.
The judgement is due in four to six months.
The ICJ must determine the Burkina Faso-Niger border based on the description used in the colonial decree as well as on the details of a 1987 agreement reached by a joint technical commission to address the issue.
The two countries have tried to work out the issue peacefully in the past without resorting to the ICJ: In 2006 leaders in the border regions met to dissipate tensions caused by incursions by security forces and customs officials on either side of the border. A compromise stipulated that each party must inform the other before undertaking any infrastructure development.
But tensions did not dissipate, said Bazoum, with ongoing disagreements over issues such as Nigerien military police allegedly working on Burkinabe territory; or Burkinabe schools operating on Niger-claimed land.
Under dispute are both pastoralist Sahelian land and a forestry zone appropriate for agriculture, said Burkinabe geographer Claude Obin Tapsoba.
Both countries have submitted boundary cases before to the ICJ: In 2005 the ICJ resolved a dispute between Niger and Benin, and in 1986 between Burkina Faso and Mali.
The African Union Border Programme encourages African states to clearly define their borders by 2012.
The implementation of agreements can drag on - as has been the case with the ICJ's 2002 ruling over Bakassi on the border between Cameroon and Nigeria.
Burkina Faso and Niger have 18 months to implement any ICJ decision.
