MRI on Krstic came back negative. Nenad has a bone bruise and is listed as day to day.This is good news for the Celtics because it seems like their best shot at Banner 18 is having the three headed monster at center. With Jermaine back in action, and the other two big men expected back soon things are still looking positive for the postseason. Jesse Dampolo 4/02/2011 02:53:00 PM Tweet Edit

Thank goodness Curly is ok!
wayne7779311 says:
Great news!
At least now the big men from the opposing teams will know that there will be one 7-foot center from our team whose face they can continue to splatter...and at least one point within each game when they can get all their free points in to make them look better than they really are.
Whoopee !!
What a wonderful wonderful world this must be.
Beantown says:
Good news.
Nenad Krstic says:
@Wayne7779873 STFU!
Thank you basketball gods.
wayne7779311 says:
make pretend nenad,
Just do it on the court, Baby.
Just do it on the hardwood.
last time we saw u...u scored "zero" pts; and grabbed a grand total of "one" rebound. And got scored on at will.
Don't do it on the computer. Just do it on the court.
Then we'll have no problem applauding you.
But don't make us look soft. Ain't happening.
I'm already taking too much flak from the LA creeps about how soft we've become at center since losing Perk.
Don't blog about it...be about it.
Awesome. Worried of the celtics record lately. Not sure of what exactly it is, post trade,exhaustion,new guys whatever. Still have faith in banner 18. They need all the big men they can get. Go Celtics!!!
layersoverlayers says:
lol @wayne..."dont blog about it...be about it"
talking like lil weezyy much?? haha but i agree wid ya!!!!
5 on dat!
JR says:
This is very good news. I think Kristic can be a solid 15-20 min back up center and when he returns that should end up being his role.
next game: 15 pts-10 rb
ᴘᴇᴀɴᴜᴛ ʙᴜᴛᴛᴇʀ ʙ. says:
This is good news. Hopefully Shaq is back before/or for the game vs the Bulls cause we wont beat them w/ONE center.
@wayne - That was his stat line for the game when he got injured, what point are you trying to make? Everyone will have good games and bad games. And about your 'he got scored on at will' comment, we ALL know he isnt a good defender - but give him time to learn, i mean - he does have KG playing beside him so im sure he will learn how to play some D - am i right?
Jesse Dampolo says:
3 healthy centers = 18 fouls
If Shaq can play 20, JO can give about 25, and Krstic just takes whatever is left OR comes in because of foul trouble... that's pretty damn good.
If Glen Davis has to play serious minutes at center it hurts the team.
coco says:
Agree...BBD was exhausted at center without krstic around. We do need all three of them (Shaq, JO and Krstic) healthy to keep legs fresh.
The incessant whining around the Interwebs about the deal that shipped out our six-points, seven-boards overpaid-like-nobody-this-side-of-Lon-Kruger center is old, people.
Wherever will we turn to replace Bill Russ ... oops, Kendrick Perkins, the King of the Illegal Screen.
I hate today's NBA. Too many tahds wrapped more up in their favorite player than in the team.
Great news about Krstic. The shit said about him around the Webs makes me furious.

Riedel's newest introduction, the Sommeliers Black Tie series, marks the celebration of Claus Josef Riedel's unveiling of the first Sommeliers Burgundy Grand Cru glass in 1958. Riedel's varietal specific wine glass concept has changed the world of wine drinking around the globe, by highlighting the effect that size and shape have on the aroma and flavor perception of the wine. This special new Black Tie series incorporates the Sommeliers line's classic shapes into gorgeous mouth-blown stemware, all accented in black. This Riedel Black Tie Riesling Grand Cru glass features the same classic shape of its Sommelier series counterpart, perfectly capturing the nuances of the fine wine it was designed for. The bowl rests on a clear stem, accented by a beautiful black base, creating an elegant dressed up appeal, and is packed in a handsome single gift tube.
Riedel's Grand Wine Glass Collection was born in 1958 when the "Pokal Hoch" was first exhibited at the WORLD EXHIBITION in Brussels. The glass was instantly awarded with a "Grand Prix" for its creative and striking design. Shortly after, New York's Museum of Modern Art selected it for their permanent collection as a significant 1960s design.
50 years later we celebrate the anniversary of this iconic glass by presenting "SOMMELIERS BLACK TIE". Based on the timeless original shapes, these classic and elegant glasses feature a tall black stem on the varietally specific red wine glasses and a black base with crystal stem on the white wine glasses.
Claus Riedel started his career as young glass designer creating this magnum opus based on the request of Conte Odazio, an Italian nobleman and business partner who said to Claus: "I am tired to drink my fine Piedmont red wines from small glasses!" Based on the functionality of this truly unique work of art, Claus began a lifetime exploration to discover step by step the effect of "shape and size" on the aroma and flavor perception of the wine.

A man lived with the decomposing corpse of a 72-year-old woman for about six months before court officers serving an eviction notice discovered her body moldering on a sofa in a Detroit-area trailer home, police said Friday.
Dennis McCauley, 64, was arrested Monday after letting the officer into the trailer at Long's Mobile Home Court in Redford Township, west of Detroit.
"The officer noted a pungent smell of decay and observed a corpse in the room immediately to the right of the front door," Redford Township police Sgt. Kevin Crittenden said Friday. "He called us. The corpse had obviously been deceased for some time and was partially dried out."
McCauley told the officer that the woman was called Ann Marquis and that he did not kill her, Crittenden said. Preliminary results from an autopsy indicate she died of natural causes. Toxicology results were pending.
Marquis was named in the eviction notice and the trailer was in her name.
"We know they lived together about three years," Crittenden said. "Based on witness statements and other statements it would appear Ann Marquis died sometime in November."
McCauley was arraigned Monday for failing to report a death, mutilation of a corpse, larceny, uttering and publishing involving social security checks, identity theft and other charges.
"When we found the body, the upper arm was separated from the right shoulder," Crittenden said, referring to the mutilation charge. The autopsy determined that separation occurred after Marquis died.
McCauley was ordered held in the Wayne County Jail on a $250,000 bond. He did not have an attorney Friday.

Cardinals to raise funds for tornado victims
St. Louis to donate a dollar from every ticket sold for Thursday's soccer match
SAN DIEGO -- The Cardinals, along with Relevent Sports, announced on Wednesday that they will donate a dollar from every ticket sold for Thursday's soccer match at Busch Stadium to a Cardinals Care fund established to assist children affected by Monday's tornado in Moore, Okla.
Chelsea Football Club and Manchester City Football club, who will meet in the soccer match on Thursday, have also each agreed to match the donation. Players from both clubs will wear commemorative black arm bands as a tribute to the tornado victims.
"We have all been moved by the heartbreaking images and stories coming out of Oklahoma," Cardinals president Bill DeWitt said in a statement. "Cardinals Care has established a special fund to help the many children whose lives have been forever changed by tragedy."
Members of the St. Louis Fire Department will be at Busch Stadium on Thursday collecting monetary donations for fans who want to donate to the Cardinals Care Oklahoma Recovery Fund. The Cardinals are also accepting online donations at cardinals.com/Oklahoma. Cardinals Care will utilize all monies raised to invest in youth-related needs in Moore over the next several months.
Collection bins will be set up outside Gate One at the Tums Parking Lot on Thursday for people to donate batteries, building supplies, small hand tools, baby formula and pet food. The American Red Cross will also be soliciting donations for the relief effort.

Man admits killing boy over hidden pills
Ind. woman already serving 60 years in son's death
A southeastern Indiana man who pleaded guilty to murder in the beating death of his girlfriend's 12-year-old son has been sentenced to 60 years in prison.
Thirty-year-old Waldo L. Jones of Greensburg told the Decatur County Court on Wednesday he felt remorse over Devin Lee Parson's June 2011 killing.
Jones pleaded guilty in October, fours month after Devin's mother, Tasha Parson, was sentenced to 60 years in prison for her role in the killing.
Authorities say Jones and Parsons beat the boy after he hid illegally obtained prescription painkillers from the two adults.
The Indianapolis Star reports child welfare workers received at least 19 reports alleging abuse or neglect of Devin and his siblings before the boy died, but officials did not remove the children from the house.

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: Microsoft Stream Blog articles.
Earlier today, we announced General Availability (GA) of Microsoft Stream (see the Microsoft Blog post as well as the Office 365 blog post to catch up with the announcements). We started this journey with you all back in July 2016 when we announced the public preview of Stream and it's been fun leading up to the GA release. We really appreciate all the feedback you shared with us and we used that to shape up the GA release. We announced a bunch of really cool capabilities today so let's start with looking at a summary first.
Key capabilities in GA
- New revamped UI – all new home page and also updates throughout the service.
- Intelligent / cognitive abilities – Stream is now able to do speech-to-text to convert all spoken words to text and make them searchable. With this you can not only find videos that may otherwise have been hard to find, you can also find where in the video the words were mentioned making you more productive than ever.
- Support for Office 365 Groups – a lot of you had asked for this capability. With Stream Groups now you can share content privately with your team or another group of people. As this is built on Office 365 Groups, you will re-use your existing groups that were created in Teams, SharePoint sites or Yammer. Now, you can manage users in a single place and share videos with them securely.
- Seamless integration with Office 365 Apps – whether you are using Teams, SharePoint, OneNote, Sway or Yammer, Stream makes it easy to share your videos and watch them in these apps making your video reach more people and help you collaborate better with video.
- More control over how you consume videos – Stream now let's you control playback speed (speed up or slow down the videos), supports click-able time codes in description to help you build table of contents, time codes in comments to better understand the context around comments and the unique ability to navigate video using face timelines. You can easily click on the timeline for where a person appears in the video and use that to navigate the video.
- More IT Management capabilities – Admins can restrict who can upload and create channels, manage groups in Group Admin experience, set content policies and administer content to add, remove owners, change metadata or delete videos. You as Admin are in complete control.
We really hope you enjoy these new capabilities in Stream along with the new experience. With the help of our friends over at Microsoft Mechanics we recorded a quick 5 min. demo. Please check it out!
There are still some other capabilities that we are still working on like support for public anonymous access on videos, analytics and live streaming to name a few. As we make more progress on these we'd definitely keep you updated via this blog. Beyond these we have a very robust roadmap and like always we'd love all your feedback in helping us inform the roadmap.
Office 365 Video and transition to Stream
Thanks to your continued feedback, ideas, and support, Office 365 Video has validated our belief that video is increasingly important for all kinds of organizations. The success, usage, and engagement of Office 365 Video has allowed us to expand our efforts in the enterprise video market and allowed us to launch the successor to Office 365 Video, Microsoft Stream.
As we've mentioned in the past Office 365 Video will be converged with Microsoft Stream over next several months in a phased approach. The first phase of transition is estimated to start some time in Q3/Q4 2017. As such, at this point in time, there will be no change to Office 365 video. When we are ready for the transition, we will reach out via the Office 365 Admin center and also use that channel to keep you up to date on the progress.
For more detailed information, answers to common questions about Office 365 Video transitioning to Microsoft Stream, and a detailed comparison of the differences between O365 Video and Stream, see this help article: Office 365 Video transition to Stream.
If you are already using Office 365 Video you can continue to do so. We will continue to make improvements, maintain, and support O365 Video during this transition. However, once we've incorporated the best of O365 Video into Stream and have transitioned all existing O365 Video customers and their videos into Stream, we will retire the existing Office 365 Video portal and iOS app.
If you are just starting with enterprise video we encourage you to look at and consider using Microsoft Stream.
Stream community has moved
We are also using the GA milestone to move our community over to Microsoft Tech Community which has already been the home for many other communities like Teams, SharePoint, Yammer and Office 365 Video. We know a lot of you are already using Microsoft Tech community and this change should help you keep in touch with us even more.
The community was moved over earlier today so please go ahead and join Microsoft Stream community. All ideas and forum topics were moved already to make this transition smoother. Starting now, you can ask us any questions or share ideas on our community at the new location. Once again, we look forward to continued support from you, and look forward to your feedback and ideas that got us this far.
Get started and join us for an AMA session
If you are a current Office 365 customer, you can find Microsoft Stream in the Office app launcher, or visit the Microsoft Stream website to sign in. If you don't have Office 365, please consider a Microsoft Stream standalone plan or start your free trial right away.
We know you might have questions and to answer all your questions we request you to join our Ask Us Anything session on the Microsoft Tech Community on June 29, 2017 at 9 a.m. PDT (UTC-8). We look forward to you joining us and we'll all be there answering your questions.

Totally not set, flavor out at the edge good, but did not cook. I would recommend upping the amount of egg yolks. I cooked for >15 minutes past cook time
Oct 14, 2012
Haven't eaten yet, but took way too long to cook and I don't know if it will be set enough to eat. I would try again but add more egg yolks to ensure custard forms, will review when we try it later tonight
Feb 19, 2011
This didn't cook in the middle, but the outside tasted good.
Oct 17, 2010
This is my favorite kind of apple pie/tart. I use evaporated milk instead of the heavy cream. Delicious!
Oct 2, 2008
I have made this several times and it is delicious. To lighten it up a bit I have replaced the whip cream with fat free coffee cream and it has not lost it's great taste.

We've created a fun way to turn kids on to science: the Kids' Science Challenge! This project is completely funded by the National Science Foundation, so there are absolutely no costs to enter the challenge and participate. I'm hoping you can help us spread the word about the Kids' Science Challenge to homeschoolers. The deadline to enter is February 28th!
In brief, we're looking for homeschooling families with 3rd to 6th graders to come up with entries for the competition. The entry process is uncomplicated and along the way, kids and their parents can explore a suite of online activities and curricula that teacher-parents can use which relate the project to classroom Science standards.
The Kids' Science Challenge is a nationwide competition where kids learn about four fun scientific fields and then submit a question, problem, or experiment to be solved. The scientific fields are: flavor science, water quality, skateboard engineering, and the search for life in outer space. Winners will visit and collaborate with the scientists and turn their ideas into a reality – and they'll be featured on Pulse of the Planet radio programs, Kids' Science Challenge video podcasts or Dragonfly TV.
The Kids' Science Challenge web site, http://www.kidsciencechallenge.com, includes downloadable science projects, fun videos, educational games, and lesson plans that are aligned to National Science Education Standards.
The first 1000 kids to enter the competition will receive free science activity kits, which include a fingerboard (mini-skateboard), water test strips, flavor-tasting strips, and a CD with a secret coded message from "aliens." Complete instructions are included. This is a great opportunity for a group science learning experience.
Children can enter as individuals or in teams of two or more. We're sending out special prizes to the next few teams who sign on, so now is a great time to enter! To set up a Kids' Science Challenge team, parents can check out the Parents and Teachers page on http://www.kidsciencechallenge.com or contact email@example.com for more information.
Please let me know if I can answer any questions, or if you could use any brochures or postcards to help explain the project to fellow homeschoolers. We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Hey bro's
I'm thinking of making a light wind board.
My conditions are this for when i'll be using this board.
10-15 knots, ocean small swell, waves and chop.
So the board needs to be big obviously but it also needs to slap though chop and small swell without loosing to much speed.
What dimensions, rocker and flex do you think will be best for these conditions.
PS i'm 82kg.

A car bomb rocked a busy residential and commercial district in central Damascus Monday, killing at least 10 people and causing heavy material damage, a Syrian government official said.
The blast, which state-run Syrian TV described as a terrorist suicide bombing, went off near the Sabaa Bahrat Square, one of the capital's biggest roundabouts. The Syrian Central Bank, a mosque and a school are located nearby.
A massive cloud of black smoke rose from the area as ambulances rushed to the scene.
Monday's blast is the latest in a series of car bombs and suicide bombings to hit the Syrian capital. The last such explosion in central Damascus was on Feb. 22, when a suicide car bombing near the ruling Baath Party headquarters killed 53 people and wounded more than 200, according to state media.
Anti-regime activists at the time put the death toll at 61, which would make it the deadliest bombing in the capital in the two-year Syrian civil war.
TV images on Monday showed thick black smoke billowing in a wide street with several cars on fire. At least six bodies were seen lying in the street. Paramedics were seen carrying on a stretcher a young woman wearing a jeans skirt, her face bloodied, into an ambulance.
Shaken teenage students holding their backpacks were seen walking away. The TV said the blast occurred near the Bukhari School.
The Syrian government official told The Associated Press that 10 people were killed. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to give official statements to the media.

A Lost Post- Beating the Sunday Blues
This was originally posted by bb.com back in 2009. Damn time flies. All of these places are worth a second post. So check 'em out, if you haven't before!
Sunday, November 29, 2009 marked Beer Blotter's adventure to beer bars unknown and a brewery worth the trip. This trip refers to a 25 minute drive from downtown Seattle to Redmond, Washington. "What is there besides Microsoft in Redmond?" Well, that is why we are here, to stimulate your brain and your taste buds.
Stop #1 Black Raven Brewing Company
Known for their Trickster IPA (which won Beverage Place Pub's year round IPA tap spot), Black Raven Brewing Company's brew pub is part of a commercial park. Inside, the space is warming and welcoming. We immediately walk up to the bar, order the sampler (and an extra Wisdom Seeker Double IPA) and take a seat at a wooden top table. Sunlight, well what Seattleites consider sunlight, streamed through the windows. The bartender and bar regulars were very passionate about beer and Black Raven. Beer blotter would like to thank Lee Killough for the pictures and insider facts about the brewery. Aside from the two IPAs, the Brown Porter and Second Sight Scotch Ale come highly recommended. The porter is surprising light for the style and is nutty with caramel undertones. This brew was an experimental recipe when the brewery first opened and they got it right the first time around!
Black Raven is located at 14687 NE 95th Street, Redmond, WA 98052. Beware: This brewery might have great brewing equipment (which you can sit near in the back room) but they do not serve food. Menus are placed at every table for delivery option to the brewery.
Stop #2 Malt and Vine Bottle Shop
After a great time at Black Raven, we decide to stick around Redmond for a little while longer. This provides us with a great opportunity to visit the local bottle shop, Malt and Vine. Like so many establishments in Redmond, Malt and Vine is located in a strip mall off of Redmond Way and my dear beer lovers, it is worth the stop in every way, shape and form. Not only does this bottle shop have approximately 15 taps flowing at any given time, (Lets take a moment for some name dropping: New Belgium Love, Lost Abbey Angel Share) their bottle selection is amazing and the refrigerators are organized by brewery, not by style. This approach to organizing your beer coolers, in our humble opinion, makes bottle shopping easier and that much more enjoyable. The only negative about this bottle shop is that the area in which one might enjoy one of these profound beers is not very welcoming and is reminiscent of a high school cafeteria. If only high school cafeterias sold rare beer and had an amazing tap list…the world would be a better place….or not… But during our time spent at Malt and Vine, the world did seem a bit better or at least bearable.
Malt and Vine is located at 16851 Redmond Way, Redmond, WA 98052. Less than 5 miles from Black Raven Brewery.
Stop #3 Wedgewood Ale House
We had heard such great things, had such high expectations. Maybe that was our problem. A cold November day, we were looking for a place to walk into, to warm our hearts and fill our souls. The only thing warm about the Wedgewood Ale House was the Boundary Bay Brewing Cabin Fever and Port Townsend Winter Ale on nitro. Although it was too cold and the wings were too small, Wedgewood Ale House has the quintessential bar menu and they support Washington breweries. With only Washington breweries on tap, the BB Cabin Fever is perfect for the winter/holiday season. It tantalizes your taste buds and tickles the back of your throat with hops and vanilla. The Port Townsend Winter Ale was inviting and spiced well with a malt balance.
The Wedgewood Ale House is located at 8515 35th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98115
Stop #4 Fiddler's Inn
Fiddler's Inn has a hidden rustic quality upon first sight with a comfortable, "home for the holidays" atmosphere inside. Stuffed from our previous stops, no food was ordered, but the menu boasted pizzas and what we would call Italian fare. But food isn't really why were are hear as the tap list and wall mounted taps prove their passion for the punch. A taste of this so-called "punch" included New Belgium Wild Ale, Anchor Steam Christmas Ale and Fremont Brewing Co. Little Woody Pale Ale. A quick side note about New Belgium Wild Ale, it is brewed with schisandra berries. WAIT! Keep reading. This berry is known as the "5 flavored berry" presenting notes of sweet, sour, salty, spicy and bitter. This beer is all that rolled into one.
Fiddler's Inn is located at 9219 35th Avenue NE, Seattle, WA 98115.
Stop #5 Pub at Pipers Creek
The space is awkwardly open and if you decide to take a seat that is not at the bar, your very far away from the only light that brightly shines. Taps form a crescent shape in the middle of the bar. At this point, food was the last thing on our minds, so we are sticking to what we know and love, beer. Big Al Brewing Winter Warmer had stout like qualities and was spicy, somewhat creamy and delicious. We were all pleasantly surprised by Elysian's BiFrost which has an undeniable hop presence as well as Dick's Brewing's, Silk Lady.
Pub at Pipers Creek is located at 10527 Greenwood Avenue N, Seattle, WA 98133
We met some friends along the way, tried some great beers, bought some bottles and beat the Sunday blues. Let us know if there are other Seattle or Washington State beer bars for us to try. Hell, we will even leave the state or the country if need be.
Leave a comment or email your bar idea to email@example.com.

Understand food labels to avoid allergic reactions
Understanding food labels is extremely important for people who have food allergies. If you have food allergies or if you handle and prepare food for anyone who does, learn how to recognize allergens on food labels.
Look for allergen information on food labels
You will find labels on all packaged foods made in the United States. They're also on all imported packaged foods that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates.
The law requires food manufacturers to print separately, at the bottom of the ingredients list, eight of the most common food allergens:
- Milk
- Eggs
- Peanuts
- Tree nuts, such as cashews, almonds and walnuts
- Fish, such as cod, flounder and bass
- Shellfish, such as lobster, shrimp and crab
- Wheat
- Soy
If you or anyone in your family is allergic to gluten, make sure any packaged food you buy is specifically labeled "gluten-free." The FDA requires that these foods meet a specified standard for gluten content.
Guard against cross-contamination
Cross-contamination can occur when foods are produced in the same facility. However, the FDA doesn't require manufacturers to state that allergens could've made their way into foods that aren't meant to contain them. So when reading food labels, look out for these phrases that may indicate possible cross-contamination:
- "May contain"
- "Processed in a facility with"
- "Manufactured on shared equipment with"
Beware of tricky labeling
- Watch out for vague ingredients. Some items on foods labels can be unclear. For instance, "spices" and "flavors" that aren't followed by a breakdown of specific sources, such as cumin, paprika or salt, may contain allergens. Contact the food manufacturer to clarify the sources of any vaguely listed ingredients.
- Check every label. Read food labels even for products that you've used before. Many companies don't tell customers when ingredients have been changed, but by law, they should always update their food labels.
- Pay special attention to foreign products. Not all countries require manufacturers to list allergens on food labels. Be mindful of this when you travel abroad.

Choice of carabiner for connecting a fall arrest device to the harness
- Read the technical notice before viewing the following techniques.
- It is important to fully understand the information provided in the technical notice before using this complementary information
- Mastering these techniques requires training.
- Consult a professional before attempting to perform these techniques on your own.
Key issues and risks
Fall arrest devices are worn all day without being under tension, but must stop a fall at any time: their connectors must be secure and kept well positioned.
Monitoring during use is difficult, especially when connected to the dorsal point.
The most important risks to consider
Recommendation on carabiner and accessories
Semi-permanent connection
Whenever possible, use a semi-permanent connector that locks with a tool.
Equal strength in all axes (unless loaded over an edge).
No weak point like a carabiner's locking sleeve.
Can be opened with a generic tool (point), no specific wrench needed.
Frequent attachment
If your equipment must be frequently attached, use an Am'D TRIACT-LOCK or Am'D BALL-LOCK with a STRING positioning system.
Can be opened with a generic tool (point), no specific wrench needed.
Can be opened with a generic tool (point), no specific wrench needed.
Why this choice?
The risk of the locking sleeve rubbing and pressing against the harness attachment point cannot be reduced. Thus the choice must be for the strongest possible locking system.
It is important to optimize the connector's position so that it moves into proper position in a fall.
All Petzl energy absorbers are supplied with a STRING that must be used consistently.
Note: the CAPTIV bar may be used in place of the STRING. It prevents certain wrong positions, but does not offer the sling protection provided by the STRING.
Specific case of attachment to the dorsal point
Monitoring the carabiner during use is especially difficult when the fall arrest device is connected to the dorsal point.
In this case, the use of a RING OPEN is especially recommended.
Precautions for use
- Take every precaution when making the connection to the harness:
- analyze the situation to anticipate risks (for example moving through tight places that can cause rubbing on the carabiners)
- verify that the carabiners are correctly positioned and locked before using the system
- With an auto-locking carabiner, check at each opening and closing that the sleeve is completely locked.
- If possible, before and during work, schedule some equipment inspection sessions with your co-workers to compensate for the lack of monitoring during use.
- The SL system is not recommended for this application
- The use of a carabiner with the TL or BL system without a carabiner positioning system is not recommended for this application
- A quick link that is tightened with a tool can be used; choose a shape suitable for the attachment points

About the timbers:
American Ash
The unique grain in American Ash is what sets this timber apart. An overall light coloured sapwood with a unique heartwood ranging from greyish brown to pale yellow and brown - there are no two pieces of timber alike. We offer the choice of American Ash in Porter's Limewash finish, for a clean and light look.
American Oak
One of our most popular timber choices, American Oak is a very clean timber with a tight, fine grain and generally very little markings. It's colour ranges from blonde to light brown and is widely sought after for use in furniture, flooring and joinery. We offer the choice of American Oak in Osmo Raw or Porter's Clearcote finishes.
American Walnut
A naturally prestigious timber featuring a rich chocolate brown colour with grey accents and a tight, fine grain. This timber is favoured by many craftsman for its responsiveness to glueing, carving and joining - making it a premium timber for furniture and joinery. We offer the choice of Walnut in Osmo Clear or Porter's Clearcote finishes.
Hard Maple
For a very clean and light look we recommend the maple. The colour is a consistent creamy white with an occasional fleck of light brown. The tight and subtle grain gives this timber a warm yet modern look. We offer the choice of Maple in Osmo Raw or Porter's Clearcote finishes.
About the finishes:
Osmo Finishes
Osmo natural wood finishes are based on oils and waxes. The oil penetrates into the wood surface, protecting the wood from deep within. The waxes form an elastic, microporous surface which protects the wood from external moisture and abrasion. The wood remains naturally beautiful, protected and durable.
- Osmo Raw - for those that love the raw look of timber look no further. The osmo raw finish is close to being invisible to the eye, and retains as much of the wood's natural colour as possible. The clear, slightly milky application counter balances the ageing yellow appearance that can appear in timber overtime, leaving the surface looking as near to natural as possible.
- Osmo Clear - The Osmo clear is a satin matte finish that beautifully accentuates the grain of the timber. We recommend this application for American Walnut.
Porter's Finishes
A durable, natural look and feel, clear water-based finish with excellent UV stability and advanced yellowing resistance. Applied by brush.
Colours are indicative only, please refer to swatch for accurate colour.

Asked by Barbara Ray, Las Vegas, Nevada
I am type 2 diabetic trying to create a daily diet, and snacks, food program that I can use to prevent getting the terrible sick feeling that comes when my sugar goes too low. I would like to store these foods and snacks in my home so that I can reach them when necessary. Please name the foods, and snacks, as well as the proper times to consume them. Also when is the time to take Metformin even if your readings are regular and you feel OK? Thank you for your answer to these questions.
Diet and Fitness Expert
Dr. Melina Jampolis
Physician Nutrition Specialist
Hi, Barbara. To prevent hypoglycemia and to minimize the complications associated with diabetes including heart disease, kidney disease, eye problems and infection, it is important to keep blood sugar levels as steady as possible throughout the day. To accomplish this, I recommend trying to combine some type of lean protein (skinless chicken, fish, turkey, lean ground beef, beans, egg whites, low-fat cottage cheese or yogurt) or healthy fat (olive oil, canola oil, nuts, seeds, avocado) with a healthy carbohydrate with each meal or snack.
Make sure to choose healthy, low-sugar, antioxidant-rich carbohydrates like whole grains (brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, whole-grain bread, cereal, crackers, quinoa, barley), whole fruit (not juice or dried fruit) and vegetables. These types of carbohydrates are generally low-glycemic, which means they increase blood sugar less rapidly than highly processed, refined, sugar-filled carbohydrates. Naturally high-fiber foods are always a good choice as they slow the emptying of food from your stomach, which helps improve blood sugar control. By preventing spikes in blood sugar, you can also prevent the crashes that follow.
It is also important to try to eat regularly throughout the day. Try not to let more than four hours go by without having either a meal or snack, to prevent blood sugar from getting too low. And do your best to eat within 30 minutes or so of waking up.
How well are you managing your diabetes? Take this test
Since you talk about storing foods in your home, I'm going to give you some of the best canned and frozen choices, although fresh is always a great choice if you have the option. Here are some staples to keep on hand:
1. Nuts: Nuts (both peanuts, which are actually legumes, and nuts like almonds, walnuts, pistachios, etc.) contain healthy fats, fiber and heart-healthy plant-based protein. They make great snacks alone or with a piece of fruit or can be thrown on a salad or into yogurt for added crunch and nutrition.
2. Beans: These are also excellent sources of fiber and plant-based protein. Drain and rinse canned beans to decrease salt content. Beans work great in soups and chili, on salads or as a healthy side dish. I'm a big fan of bean-based soups like minestrone, vegetable or lentil as a healthy lunch or pre-dinner appetizer.
3. Frozen vegetables: I always have lots of frozen vegetables on hand for healthy side dishes. Try seasoning with a little olive oil (healthy fat) and spices instead of salt for extra flavor.
4. Canned tuna and chicken (water-packed and low-sodium when available): These provide a quick and healthy lunch or dinner option. Mix with mustard or a little olive oil-based spread and serve on whole-grain bread or in a whole-wheat pita pocket (both of which you could freeze to have extra on hand)
5. Frozen fruit: I'm a big fan of frozen berries, which are loaded with antioxidants (important to decrease the complications of diabetes) and fiber. I use them to make smoothies for breakfast (with plain non-fat yogurt or protein powder and one or two tablespoons of ground flax seed for healthy fat), and sometimes I defrost them and top with a little light whipped topping or low-fat vanilla yogurt for a healthy and tasty dessert.
Regarding your Metformin, you should talk to your doctor regarding the best time to take it, as it depends on the type of pill you are taking. In general, however, Metformin should not cause low blood sugar episodes and should be taken with meals.

Working at Kindred has made me a student of life. I've had a background in teaching, and even in the "winter" of their lives, I am fascinated by how much I learn from our residents. Their lives are rich with wisdom and experience I could never learn in a classroom, and I am both humbled and blessed to have the opportunity to spend time with them.Mary R., Activities Assistant
I think the reason I enjoy working at this center so much is because from day one I felt like I am part of this really big family. In every center I've visited, I was welcomed just as if I had worked in that particular center for 20 years. The warmth and friendliness across all Kindred centers is something that I think is unique to Kindred Healthcare. The compassionate staff really is the defining characteristic between Kindred and any other company; while our Service Excellence program adds to our success, the key ingredient is that we really employ team members who are all in the business to provide the very best care for our patients and residents.
Kristen W., Health and Rehabilitation Center Executive Director
K: I love the mission statement. Kindred Healthcare's mission is to promote healing, provide hope, preserve dignity and produce value for each patient, resident, family member, customer, employee and shareholder we serve.I: I love the way there is no "I" to quality care. Kindred's healthcare is resident- centered and the "eye" sees the quality of life that has improved our resident's lives.N: I love the way "no" is not an acceptable answer. The answer is "yes, what was the question?"D: I love the way there is dignity in the manner in which we treat others at Kindred. Dignity is a term that encompasses so many things: ethics, self-esteem and worthy of respect - simple words, but great meaning.R: I love the way there is respect at all times. You may not agree with everything, but you appreciate everyone as an individual and respect their actions.E: I love the way everyone is caring, kind, professional and loving in the duties they uphold and in the attitudes they bring to their professions.D: I love the fact that I desire to come to my fantastic job every day. I love the fact that I am proud to be working for Kindred Healthcare again. I love the atmosphere I am working in and the caring, compassionate co-workers I am proud to work with. I love our outstanding residents who share their lives with us…the wonderful families who entrust to Kindred their most precious possessions, their family.
This and so much more is why I work for Kindred. I love working here!Becky D., Activity Director

The same hypothetical leveraged positions expressed as a percentage gain or loss...
Despite extensive, self-defeating, harsh and punitive austerity measures that have combined with a lack of true economic stimulus, Greece has (to date) failed to achieve Primary Balance. For the non-economists in the audience, primary balance is the elimination of a primary deficit, yet the absence of a primary surplus, ex. the midpoint between deficit and surplus before taking into consideration interest payments.
The primary balance looks at the structural issues a country may have. Government expenditures have outstripped revenues ever since 2007 and have gotten worse nearly every year since, despite 3 bailouts a restructuring, austerity and a default!
Part 1 of this series illustrated exactly how those who pursue levered "know that" can and likely will fall into the exact same structural insolvency by having their fixed expenses born from the pursuit of the diploma on a leveraged basis outstrip their income. Reference this excerpt from How To Profit From The Impending Bursting Of The Education Bubble, pt 1:
...assume a $40k per year tuition for a 4 year business management degree, purchased with money borrowed at 6% (from our dear government guaranteed lenders (SLM, et. al.), deferred for and average of 2 years. An oversimplified straight calculation puts you roughly $178,000 in debt upon graduation for a piece of paper that would fetch you roughly $43,000 per year. Reference ehow.com:
In July 2009, people who hold a bachelor's of science (BS) in business management averaged $39,551 during their first year of employment and $43,022 for the first one to four years. A professional with a BS in business management typically averaged $78,669 once they reached 20 years of employment.
Read more: Average Salaries for a Bachelor's Business Degree | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/facts_5240719_average-salaries-bachelor_s-business-degree.html#ixzz2Gw6sriN5
Real wages have likely dropped since then, but even using the nominal assumptions above you would have been driven into the hole when factoring in real life expenses of:
- Taxes: Yes, you'd have to subtract local, state and federal taxes from said monies... At roughly 35% (bound to go up after we finish this cliff nonsense), we're now talking $27,964 average over four years. That puts you in the hole to the tune of roughly $12,035 per year you spent on that degree.
- Living expenses: Food, shelter (rent), clothing, transportation. In a NYC, even assuming the much less expensive outer boroughs,
Combined, we're talking roughly $3,000 per month or so, assuming you won't take in roommates. If you do, you can drop that figure to about $2,500 per month. Using the lower bound of this assumption, you are underwater (structural deficit) to the tune of about $2,000 per year. Please keep in mind that primary balance calculations and structural deficits don't take into consideration interest payments (for the sake of comparison). The underwater comment does not take into consideration the actual paying back of your loan yet, either.
So, on the fifth year following your freshman orientation, assuming you studied well, you would have laid out $176,000 facing annual debt service of about $12,000 or so - offset by a net income stream of roughly $28,000 to cover roughly $30,000 of living expenses. The negative $2,000 per year cash flow would result in a chart that is very, very similar to the Greek charts featured above.So, why do these numbers look so bad? Well, the answer to that question lies in the value of the asset that knowledge seekers encumber themselves to acquire. The levered purchase of depreciating assets or assets with fictitiously high values is bound to lead to insolvency. Enter...

The Vancouver Whitecaps were last on the list of expansion applicants announced yesterday by Major League Soccer, but only because it's alphabetical. The New York-based league said it would award two franchises for $40 million each sometime before the end of March. The Whitecaps are one of three Canadian bids. Montreal Impact owner Joey Saputo, Canadiens/Liverpool owner George Gillett and Ottawa Senators' owner Eugene Melnyk previously applied. Miami's bid by businessman Marcelo Claure and Spain's FC Barcelona was a surprise. Others are from Atlanta, St. Louis and Portland, Ore. MLS president Mark Abbott said bids would be graded on strength of ownership, stadium plan and market attributes. The consortium of Whitecaps' owner Greg Kerfoot, NBA star Steve Nash and former Yahoo president Jeff Mallett is proposing the club begin play in 2011 at B.C. Place Stadium. By then, the multi- purpose stadium will have a retractable roof and intimate soccer configuration. Whitecaps' president Bob Lenarduzzi said the proposed Whitecaps Waterfront Stadium is also part of the bid. Previous Next

LOS ANGELES - First, a confession: until I ate at Eva Longoria's new restaurant in Los Angeles this month, I had only the vaguest notion who she was.
I knew, sort of, that she had something to do with Desperate Housewives, a hugely popular show to which I remain innocent of exposure.
I knew as well she was a staple of the celebrity press, which was driven to new heights of frenzy by her wedding last year to San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker.
Because I'm not a reader of Maxim, I did not know the 33-year-old Longoria was named "the hottest woman in the world" by the estimable men's magazine in 2005 and 2006. (She slumped to ninth after her marriage last year -- perhaps Maxim sees sexual availability as a prerequisite for hotness.)
And I somehow missed her appearances in the 2006 movies The Sentinel and Harsh Times, and her latest celluloid epic, Over Her Dead Body, which played briefly in Ottawa in February.
Still, when LA Inc., Los Angeles' visitors and convention bureau, said it could arrange dinner at Beso, as Longoria's new eatery on Hollywood Boulevard is called, it didn't take me long to say yes.
A quick consultation with Dr. Google disclosed that the restaurant, which opened last month, is one of L.A.'s current hot spots, drawing such celebrities as Sheryl Crow, Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Simpson.
All that star power has attracted a swarm of paparazzi to Hollywood's Walk of Fame, which passes by Beso's door.
As an added inducement, Eva herself has been greeting celebrity friends and other guests some nights, raising the prospect of face time with the former two-time hottest woman in the world.
So it was a bit of a letdown when I arrived, unfashionably early on a Monday night, to find no paparazzi, no Eva -- no celebrities at all, in fact. The restaurant was three-quarters empty, though it filled up nicely as the evening progressed.
Denied the cheap buzz of star exposure, my dining companions and I were left with the restaurant and the food.
There was reason for optimism on that score. Longoria's partner in Beso is Boston celebrity chef Todd English, best known for his well-regarded Olives restaurants and his cooking shows on television. Beso is his first West Coast venture.
It's a handsome-enough space, mixing the elegant (dangly crystal chandeliers chosen by Longoria) and the industrial (exposed girders traversing a barn-like ceiling).
Downstairs, it boasts a ceviche station, with lobsters and whole fish displayed on ice, and a massive square bar for fresh-fruit cocktails. Upstairs, there's a private lounge where Eva's friends can repair for greater privacy.
But what, you ask, of the food? Despite English's stellar reputation, most reviews on L.A. food message boards have been negative, some witheringly so, though the Los Angeles Times food critic gave Beso a generally positive notice.
Maybe I'm just a muktuk-munching hick from the frozen north, but I enjoyed most of the food served to our party. Though some websites erroneously describe the food as Tex-Mex, it's really international fusion cuisine with Spanish flair.
We began with three small appetizers -- a flavourful yellowtail ceviche, superior guacamole (allegedly made from Longoria's own recipe) and three petite lobster tacquitos. In my estimation, only the last wasn't worth the money.
As we munched on our appetizers, our server brought complimentary flatbread topped with fontina cheese, tomatoes and arugala -- essentially a re-imagined pizza. Very tasty, indeed.
My main course paella came with lobster, shellfish, roasted chicken and chorizo atop moist saffron rice. I ate until I could eat no more. My companions had grilled swordfish, perfectly cooked if a bit uninspired, and a well-received skirt steak.
Desserts were hit-and-miss. Two sherbets -- lemon rosemary and coconut raspberry -- blended unlikely flavours delightfully. But the mango sherbet was bland, and the chocolate molten beignets were little more than insanely expensive Timbits.
There are doubtless better places to dine in Los Angeles than Beso. Michelin, which issued its first Los Angeles guide last November, awarded one star to 15 L.A. restaurants, and two stars to three others. Serious foodies should seek those places out and give Beso a miss.
But for those who want to mix Hollywood glamour with decent -- and occasionally excellent -- food in agreeable surroundings, Beso is worth a visit.
And oh, if you see Eva, tell her I'm her biggest fan.
Where: 6350 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood
Hours: Open for dinner Monday to Saturday

It's time for those infamous New Year's resolutions, for turning over a new leaf, and for taking steps toward healthier eating and a healthier lifestyle.
Have you pledged that 2014 will be a year of healthier choices?
Taking small steps will ensure your success, and the farmers market is one of the best places to get started on those resolutions, with the amazing abundance of California produce at your fingertips.
The stalls are packed with foods that are healthy, fresh and in season. Remember, fresh fruits and vegetables are a key part to a healthy lifestyle, and the more color that your produce has, the greater its health benefits.
It is recommended that you eat five to nine servings of fresh fruits and vegetables each day.
The local farmers market also offers you the opportunity to try something new.
And the way to maintain healthy eating is to try new things in your diet.
As they say, variety is the spice of life.
Try to use the fresh produce that you find in new ways, and learn to eat seasonally as the harvests change. Most local farmers and growers are there because they have a passion for their product.
They have a wealth of information at their fingertips so don't be afraid to ask questions, as this can be a great chance to get new ideas and tips for healthy food preparation.
Not only will you experience the health benefits of eating locally, but you'll also have some fun and learn something new in the process.
Let's all have a healthier 2014 by eating fresh and local at the farmers market.

Clans and Tartan – a brief history
Posted by True Highlands in Kit and Caboodle | 2 comments
One of the most confusing and hard to decipher aspects of Scottish culture is the role of clans and tartans. Curious visitors often enquire as to what the relevance they have in the modern world. Are they merely a historical anachronism or a link to our past that needs preserving?

Israel arrests 20 Hamas members in West Bank
Israeli forces arrested 20 members of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, including three lawmakers, in a raid early Monday in the West Bank, Hamas officials said.
The Israeli military confirmed arrests were made but would not elaborate further.
According to several Hamas officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, the arrests took place in the early morning all across the territory. One of those arrested was in charge of reconciliation talks between Hamas and its rival, the secular Fatah, according to the Hamas officials.
Palestinians have been deeply divided since Hamas overran Gaza in 2007, ousting forces from the Fatah party, led by the Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in bloody street battles. Abbas has since ruled only in parts of the West Bank, and Hamas has held sway in Gaza.
Multiple attempts to reach a long-elusive reconciliation agreement between the two Palestinian groups have not succeeded so far. And while efforts to end the split have failed, the two sides have tried to make a show of unity since Hamas' fierce battle with Israel in November and Fatah's subsequent recognition bid at the United Nations.
Israel considers Hamas a terrorist organization because it has carried out scores of deadly attacks, including suicide bombings against Israeli civilians.
Hamas lawmakers have been subject to arrests by Israel since the group defeated Fatah in the 2006 Palestinian election.

Energy players team up in UH research park
For many energy companies, the future is in the Eagle Ford Shale or the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico.
For SuperPower, which produces superconducting wire, it's in Building 14 of the University of Houston's Energy Research Park.
A collection of mid-century office buildings that once served as a Schlumberger headquarters, the park is less than two miles from the university campus, connected by shuttle buses and a common sense of mission.
The university purchased the 74-acre property for $27.5 million in 2009, envisioning the former Schlumberger Wells Service property on the Gulf Freeway as the place where students, faculty and people from the energy industry meet to solve real-world problems.
That means oil and gas, as well as wind energy, solar energy, superconductivity and other new technologies.
"There's no bias toward the research park being all oil and gas," said H. David Ramm, managing partner at Dymar Development and a member of the university's energy advisory board. "There's a lot of innovation going on in oil and gas, and that should be recognized. But clearly if there were a way to produce energy that was cheaper, more efficient, with no emissions, everybody wants that."
The other thing many people at UH want is for superconductivity to become commercially viable. It's the field that put UH on the scientific radar in the 1980s, when physicist Paul Chu discovered a compound that could conduct electricity without losing energy at temperatures above the freezing point of liquid nitrogen.
Enter SuperPower.
UH recruited its founder, Venkat Selvamanickam, in 2009 as director of the Applied Research Hub, a collaboration between the university's Texas Center for Superconductivity and the college of engineering.
His hiring - and the fact that SuperPower came with him - was a coup, and Selvamanickam works with students in several labs on campus.
SuperPower is involved in a number of projects dealing with superconducting wire, including a $4 million grant from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency to design and build a superconducting wind generator.
UH administers the grant. Participating with SuperPower are Tallahassee, Fla.-based Tai-Yang Research, Round Rock-based TECO-Westinghouse Motor and the U.S. Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo.
Campus lab space is great for research, Selvamanickam said, but the research park is about proving the discoveries can be scaled up.
"Just because something works (in a lab) doesn't mean it's going to work in manufacturing and development," he said.
Money from industry
Modern Houston was created by the 20th century's boom-and-bust oil cycles, and Ramm said any thought that the 21st century would be a post-hydrocarbon era ended with the advent of hydraulic fracturing.
The resulting bounty of cheap natural gas caused people to rethink investments in renewables, Ramm said.
But research in wind, solar and other renewable energy continues at UH and elsewhere, and the university's Wind Energy Research Center has a space at the park.
It's near the ConocoPhillips Petroleum Engineering Building.
The university had long offered a master's degree in petroleum engineering, but dropped its undergraduate degree decades ago during an industry downturn. UH restarted the program after Devon Energy Corp. and Marathon Oil Corp. pledged $1.6 million in 2008, saying they needed the graduates.
More than 400 students are enrolled now.
Increasingly, energy companies are also funding university research projects.
Devon has spent $22 million since 2004 at the University of Oklahoma, where researchers study shale rock to determine where and how to drill.
Similar collaborations are appealing as the federal deficit drives worries about research funding - although Ranthindra Bose, vice president for research and technology transfer at UH, said the government probably will remain the prime source of research funding.
UH faculty received $92.5 million in research awards in 2011, down from $114.7 million in 2010. Bose attributed the drop to the end of federal stimulus funding.
Almost one-third of UH's 2011 research funding was earmarked for energy - $28.3 million. Of that, $5.9 million, or just more than 20 percent, came from industry.
'The real world'
UH spent more than $30 million on renovations for the research park, which is about half-occupied now, with much of the space filled by university administrators, researchers or students, said Sean York, director of real estate services.
But Ramm touts it as a potential home for energy startups.
One UH tenant, the Texas Diesel Testing and Research Center, moved there in 2002, before the university bought the property.
Run by chemical engineering professor Michael Harold, the center contracts with outside groups - testing hybrid diesel buses for Metro to determine if better mileage justifies the added cost, for example - in addition to conducting research.
"Our thinking was, if we could bring companies to us when they needed to do testing, they would catalyze the research enterprise," Harold said.
Testing also funds the center, with contracts ranging from $1 million to $1.5 million a year, he said.
Harold said the collaboration is good for students, too.
"Those are practical problems and expose students to the real world."

Sgt. Wade D. Wilson didn't flinch last May when an insurgent began firing an AK-47 at him and four of his fellow Marines in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
Wilson immediately grabbed a pistol, exited an armored vehicle charged at the man and shot back. His actions led to his being fatally wounded, but in the process Wilson forced the insurgent to retreat and saved his friends' lives.
For his bravery, Wilson, 22, was posthumously awarded the Silver Star during a ceremony Thursday morning at Camp Pendleton.
"The average man would seek cover to protect his own life," said Lt. Col. Tim Bairstow, commanding officer of 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines. "But Sgt. Wilson was not an average man, nor was he an average Marine."
A native of Centerville, Tex., Wilson joined the Marine Corps straight out of high school, where he captained the football team as a running back and safety and ran track, said his childhood friend and fellow Marine 2nd Lt. Corey Boudiette. Wilson had a wild and rambunctious personality, was extremely intelligent, a great student and had a strong sense of humor, Boudiette said.
Wilson loved anything to do with the outdoors. He was into working on cars and trucks, riding dirt bikes and fishing. He also loved Taylor Swift's music, and the artist even promised his parents that she would wear his dog tags in her first video after his funeral.
"He definitely was not your average individual," Boudiette said. "He was a little more crazy than most. But when it came down to brass tax, he was diligent when it came to his job."
Wilson trained at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego in 2007, and he reported to his final unit, 2nd Batallion, 5th Marines, on Aug. 1, 2011.
Maj. Gen. Ronald Bailey, the commanding officer of 1st Marine Division, attended Thursday's 20-minute ceremony, along with 5th Marines regiment commander Col. Roger Turner, Jr.
Turner presented the Silver Star to Wilson's mother, Cindy Easterling, who was one of several friends and family members to also attend. Wilson is survived by his parents, three brothers and one sister.
"His courage stands out," Bailey said. "Selfless sacrifice. There were many others that he saved. There were four Marines around that vehicle, and because of his actions they're here today.
"In the Marines, we talk about taking care of your own. Because of his actions, he was able to save those Marines in his vehicle. It was a true reflection of taking care of your own."
Wilson was a revered and fearless leader, said several of those in attendance Thursday. He had been promoted ahead of his peers three times, and he had been recommended for yet another upgrade before he was killed, Bairstow said.
Wilson was participating in his third deployment last May when his company was called upon during Operation Oxbow, intended to clear a section of Helmand Province of insurgent leaders and weapons.
He served as the platoon sergeant with 3rd Platoon, Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, Regimental Combat Team 6, 1st Marine Division when the armored vehicle he was in was damaged by an improvised explosive device.
An Afghan insurgent posing as a civilian near the scene in Musa Qal'eh District retrieved an AK-47 from a poppy field and opened fire on the Marines in the vehicle, according to Wilson's Silver Star citation. The insurgent critically wounded one Marine inside the vehicle before Wilson drew his M9 pistol and confronted the man.
"Sustaining multiple gunshot wounds, he continued moving against the enemy until falling mortally wounded," the citation reads.
The insurgent, meanwhile, fled in the direction of other Marines, who killed him.
"A fellow's natural instincts when he gets shot at is to seek his own self-preservation," said Lt. Col. Jason Perry, the battalion commander at the time of Wilson's deployment. "For whatever reason, he decided to move toward the threat and got killed. It is selflessness on a scale that few of us will understand, including myself."

The Tubeless Ready SE3 Team Issue tire offers strength, durability, and fast-rolling efficiency in a super-strong enduro package. It's the tire of choice for Trek World Racing on fast enduro courses that demand versatility and a grippy, fast tread pattern.
Key features
- Excels in a wide variety of conditions
- Tubeless Ready (TLR) tire for easy tubeless setup and puncture protection
- Core Strength has sidewall and sub-tread protection for lightweight durability
Tubeless-ready tires are compatible with both tubeless-ready and standard rims. When the tire is mounted on a tubeless-ready rim with special tubeless rim tape, valve, and sealant, the tire and rim form an airtight chamber that no longer requires a tube. This lets you run lower tire pressure with less fear of pinch flats and without the added weight of a tube. Lower tire pressure has many benefits, including greater traction and lower rolling resistance over rough surfaces. The tire can also be used with a tube if you mount it on a standard, non-tubeless-ready rim.
