Grilled meats are a favorite for my family, which is not surprising considering I'm the only woman in the house. It isn't that I don't enjoy grilling or eating grilled foods, it's about the need for meat. Do you know what it is like to be surrounded by carnivorous "meat and potato" men? My father is the worst kind of male carnivore, one who detests chicken! As a chicken fanatic, I consider it meat even though formally it's poultry. One night while living with us, Dad abruptly blurted out, "Chicken for dinner, I'm sick of damn chicken. I want beef, a steak!" Hubby was taken aback, I simply continued with dinner, shaking my head... that's my dad! At least, hubby and my sons are not beef only carnivores like dear old dad. Recalling the not so long ago story, we both laugh and wish he was able eat a Jucy Lucy burger with us this Father's Day.
Grilled Jucy Lucy Burger Notes
Check out the foodies Around the Family Table for more #SundaySupper Father's Day recipes.
To honor my carnivores on Father's Day, I decided grilled Bacon Stuffed Jucy Lucy Burgers for #SundaySupper would be perfect. A happy Father's Day around the family table!
Bacon Stuffed Jucy Lucy Burger
- 1 1/4 pounds Ground beef
- 4 slices American cheese (Kraft Singles)
- 4 - 6 slices Maple Smoked Bacon
- 4 Hamburger Buns
- McCormick Mesquite Grill Seasoning
- 1 - 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 Sweet Vidalia Onion
- 8 ozs. Fresh Mushrooms
- Cook the bacon crispy. Allow to drain on paper towels and cool while preparing the hamburgers for assembly.
- Jucy Lucy Burger Assembly - Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a ball. Working with one ball at a time divide in half and flatten them into a circle. Fold a slice of cheese in half twice, making a small square. Place in middle of the burger patty. Cover the cheese with bacon crumbles and place the other patty on top. Pinch the edges together, making sure to seal them. Repeat until all 4 burgers are ready. Season the tops with grill seasoning or salt and pepper.
- Grilling - Pre-heat the grill to a medium high heat (about 400). Grill the burgers over indirect heat, turning only once during cooking. Remove to a plate, cover with foil, and allow to rest for about 5 minutes. Assemble burgers and serve with you favorite toppings.
- Jucy Lucy Hamburger Toppings - Slice mushrooms and onion and place in bowl. Drizzle with Olive Oil, toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and grill seasoning. Add to a grill box or cast iron pan for grilling or saute after burgers are grilled and resting.
Grilled Jucy Lucy Burger Notes
- The Jucy Lucy burger originated in Minnesota. The history is similar to that of the Philly Cheese Steak where two restaurateurs claim to be the originator.
- Using processed cheese slices produce the most gooey, delicious cheese effect
- My first attempt resulted in leaky cheese so be mindful when you seal the burgers.
- It is typical for a bulge to be present after sealing the burger patties.
- Be careful upon first biting, the cheese might be hot and definitely messy
- The Jucy Lucy is a versatile burger so use your foodie imagination.
- Our favorite Jucy Lucy to date is served on a bed of lettuce and topped with fresh cilantro and more bacon. Hubby concurred.
- My Indirect Heat Method - Place burgers in the center, turning off the center burner or cook on a raised grill rack. Keep the grill lid closed. This allows burgers to cook evenly and slower, and I found a necessity when grilling a Jucy Lucy.
Happy Father's Day!!

Cheap Solar Panels
Antonio Said:
Would you be really interested into buying cheap cheap solar thermal panels?We Answered:
i would like to know how efficient are they first.Edna Said:
can anyone tell me where to buy cheap solar panels?We Answered:
There are a few ways to offset the initial cost. Some companies now lease them which allows you to have them installed with out a big out of pocket expense, and locks in your electric rate for the life of the panels. You can also use home equity, it is considered an imporvement so you may be able to get some money without too much equity. Look to your state and utility to see if there are any rebates available. You can also get a smaller system and add to it as you have the money, it will be more expensive in the long run.The reason solar panels seem so expensive is you are prepaying for 20-25 years worth of electricity. Most systems pay for themselves in less than 10 years.
Don't forget the power of conservation. Do all you can to insulate your home, cut standby energy and look for other smaller investments that can save you money like, CFL's, programable thermostats, shade trees etc.
Caroline Said:
Cheap solar panels.....advice?We Answered:
Older less efficient panels are being sold at discounts. They will work but you have to install more of them so you may end up losing all or part of your "savings" as compared to newer panels.Henry Said:
Where can I find solar panels for cheap?We Answered:
Try one of the many companies going out of business because solar panels aren't in high demand, due to their ineffectiveness.In essence, the only way they make a profit is through government subsidizes. In reality, if the government didn't prop this industry up...it wouldn't exist.
If I were you I'd save my money and invest it in carbon credits.
Duane Said:
How much energy could be generated by adding solar panels to the Alaskan Pipeline?We Answered:
Probably very little, it's at such a high latitude. Anchorage gets way less than half the annual sunlight that LA does, for example:http://www.solarpanelsplus.com/solar-ins…
The trans-Alaska pipeline is about 800 miles long. Let's assume you could fit 1.5 metres wide of panels all along the pipeline, and the efficiency of these panels is 10% (First Solar CdTe are the cheapest, and 8-10% efficient modules. Silicon is more expensive but generally higher efficiency).
The surface area is 1.9 million square metres, which will receive an average of 4 million kWh/day at Anchorage levels of sunlight, or make 0.4 million kWh/day of electricity (ofc, lots more in summer than in winter!)
0.4 million kWh is the energy content of about 2,300 barrels of oil.
However, you must remember that here you've accounted for the efficiency of the solar panels but not the efficiency of the oil. If you burn the oil in a car engine, you'll average 12-20% efficiency in general (and that's not accounting for the energy needed to dig up, process & distribute the oil or make the solar panels). Assuming you're using the oil to drive, it's equivalent to about 10,000 barrels of oil per day, or 3.65m a year.

[News] [Documentation] [Requirements] [Download]
EdiTeX | top |
EdiTeX is a MathML editor based on TeX syntax. It means that it allows the user to create a MathML document by typing the TeX markup as he or she would do in a normal text editor. The TeX markup is parsed as the user types, an internal structured model of the typed text is built and from there an XSLT stylesheet generates the corresponding MathML.
The main idea behind EdiTeX is to combine in a single tool a TeX-to-MathML converter and a WYSIWYG editor for math expressions. This way the experienced user is not forced to use menus and palettes and can take advantage of using a syntax that he or she is already familiar with. Moreover, by using XSLT, the user is free to define his/her own macros (even at a more semantic level) and to provide separately (in a resource that is not hard-coded into the editor) a suitable presentation for them.

School Children with Hearing Loss
When a child with hearing loss goes to school, he or she is entering an environment filled with many different types of noise. Like anyone, a student with hearing loss has more trouble hearing and understanding speech in noisy situations than in quiet situations. However, when listening through hearing aids or cochlear implants, noise often becomes much more magnified than it is for individuals with normal hearing, interfering to a much greater degree with the ability to hear and understand speech.
The teacher's voice and the voices of fellow students, may be difficult or impossible for the hearing impaired student to hear properly. The hearing impaired student may need to work harder than his or her peers just to hear what is going on, something normally-hearing students are able to do effortlessly. Compounding this problem, most classrooms and schools are not designed with hearing impaired students in mind. Classrooms may have very high ceilings, loosely fitting windows or doors, highly reflective wall or floor surfaces, or other features that magnify room noise and minimize speech clarity. Some classrooms utilize an "open" floor plan which allows noise from the hallway or other areas to easily enter into the classroom.
Interaction with Teachers and Students
Successful communication between the teacher and student is vital to the learning process. Even the best teachers often have limited training and experience working with students with hearing loss. While they may recognize that a hearing impaired student has special needs, they may not know exactly what these needs are or how to go about getting them into the classroom.
School is not only a place of academic learning, but also a major site of social development. The school day is spent interacting with fellow students inside and outside of the classroom, making friendships that may last a lifetime. For a hearing impaired student, these social interactions may be difficult or even impossible, limiting the social growth that is such an important part of the school experience.
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
Some children may have "normal hearing" but still seem to struggle with auditory information. They may be viewed as hyperactive, uncooperative, or as having poor attention. In some cases these children may actually have an auditory processing disorder (APD). APD is a condition wherein the child hears sounds perfectly fine, can hear and understand speech normally, but their auditory system struggles under certain, more taxing conditions. Some children with APD struggle more than typical kids in noisy settings, or they may have trouble following complicated, multi-step directions. APD can be effectively managed but first has to be recognized and properly diagnosed.
The Educational Audiology Program
The Educational Audiology Program at Women & Infants Hospital is geared towards meeting the needs of children with hearing loss in school. Working collaboratively with the student, his or her parents, the school staff, and the school department, we find solutions for these problems that are both effective for the student and affordable for the school. We recognize that a school operates on a budget and we make sure that our recommendations are justified and reasonably-priced and that the benefits to the child are verifiable. Our services include:
- IEP participation.
- Acoustic room analysis.
- FM system management.
- On-site hearing aid services.
- School musician's program.
- Training and in-service for teachers and staff.
- School hearing screenings.
- Auditory Processing Disorder evaluation and management.

It's more open plains with distant mountains. Winding rocky rivers and endless straight roads. Small towns and trailer parks. Fortunately, no sign of the massive forest fire, and the trip up over the mountains and dropping down into Lake Tahoe was amazing. Fact of the day: the lake is massive! It is as long ...

There are a few other people also planning to hike to Skogar the following day - an American girl and a couple of German guys. The weather forecast for tomorrow is not great but not terrible, but is a lot worse for the day after. So we resolve to complete the hike in one long day. It will be tiring but possible.
A day at the beach and Truckee Thursday
After an action packed week we a well-deserved day at the beach was in order. After the ubiquitous Pykett smoothie to get the day started we drove around the lake to Sand Harbor. We were treated to stunning views of the lake as we drove around on a perfect sunny day. On the way we drove through the lovely, picturesque, dripping with wealth Incline Village on the shore.

Understated! LOL! I hope you're joking, but if not, I can't wait to see your pics! I'm just sad that we still have a second house to sell (for almost a year now, but that's our own fault). We're now living paycheck-to-paycheck, and if this keeps up, I can't afford any new Halloweenies. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks! Luckily I have a LOT of decorations and I rotate my stock each year. It just makes me sad to not buy MORE! I'm usually at Homegoods every weekend from when they get in their first stock until it's all gone, and we also hit the Spirit Halloween store for an animatronic and other goodies. And the online shopping, and Michael's, and... :)

She may not be on the lips of everyone, but give it time she will be. Isn't that how it always is? They wait to write about these unknown and beautiful celebrities until they become more popular or until the mainstream media features them and that's only when they start to promote them. That's why I make it my life's work to celebrate the women that no one else talks about.

Jan 2, 2013 Jordan Reid Looks
Get Pretty for Ice Skating
Contributor Jordan Reid shares her beauty and style know-how to get you prepped for those seasonal events and special occasions in which you want to put your best look forward.
Did you know I used to be a competitive ice skater? It's true. And wow, early '90s ice-skater beauty was a whole thing of its own. Let's just say that my crimper and bedazzler were in overdrive for some time there.
It's been a while since my Lutz jump has been in peak form, but I still love hitting the ice a couple of times a year—both because I get to impress my husband with a little twirling and because it's such a fun activity for which to get done up. Cozy sweaters! Rosy cheeks! Noncrimped hair! So today, let's talk about how to get pretty for ice skating.
I love the look of glowing, flushed skin and barely-there makeup for ice skating.
Start with a moisturizer containing SPF (I like La Roche-Posay Anthelios 45 Ultra Light Fluid for Face) to protect against the sun's rays, which are magnified when they bounce off of the ice.
Next add some healthy-looking color. Start with a dusting of bronzer, like L'Oréal Paris Glam Bronze Bronzing Powder, and then layer on a warm blush with a little shimmer to it. NARS Blush in Orgasm is the gold standard for a natural flush.
On the eyes, try smudging a golden brown liner into your lash lines. Try: MAC Eye Kohl in Powersurge. Top it off with a high-wattage mascara, like L'Oréal Paris Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara, which contains hydra-collagen for maximizing volume without clumping or flaking.
Finish with a sheer, dewy gloss. I love Giorgio Armani Gloss d'Armani in 515, a perfect rosy shade that looks especially pretty on slightly paler skin tones like my own.
For outdoor sports, it's all about the ponytail. A twist on the traditional look that works even if you're wearing a beanie is a side ponytail.
Start by blow-drying hair smooth. Then apply a small amount of anti-frizz serum to the lower two-thirds of your strands. Use a 1-inch barrel iron to curl small sections, curling in different directions for the most natural effect. Sweep hair to one side and secure it with an elastic. Pull a few tendrils out around your face to give the style some softness. Finish with a misting of flexible-hold hair spray.
You know, there's a lot to be said for a hat with a pom-pom on top. In my book, it's a must-own. Pair your knit cap with matching gloves or mittens and a cozy sweater in a bright color. Then pull on fantastic denims with a little stretch, because theoretically you're exercising and you're ready to get moving. Or falling. Whichever.

De Blasio, Emanuel Bemoan U.S. Indifference to Cities
Tim JonesNew York Mayor Bill de Blasio said there's "not a cavalry coming right now from Washington" to solve issues of economic inequality, education and homelessness confronting the nation's cities.
In an era of Tea Party politics pressing for reduced government spending, responsibility rests with mayors, and it does no good "to curse the darkness," said de Blasio, who became leader of the most-populous U.S. city in January.
De Blasio, 52, joined Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed in an all-Democrat forum yesterday on the future of cities at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics. In a friendly, 75-minute discussion before an audience of about 250, they took turns condemning the politics of special interests and bashing the federal government's neglect of urban challenges.
"Washington is AWOL, totally AWOL," said Emanuel, 54, using an acronym for absent without leave. "And the state capitals have, as we know in Illinois, huge budgetary problems, and we are cast on our own at a moment in time to try to boost our economies."
Even as most U.S. cities are seeing economic gains after the longest recession since the 1930s, surging retirement costs from New York to California are taking away from spending on services and public safety and increasing competition for resources.
Juggling Taxes
De Blasio is pressing for state permission to raise taxes on the rich, to pay for universal pre-kindergarten. Garcetti, 43, wants to sacrifice a municipal business tax to fight shrinking employment in the nation's second-largest city.
Retiree costs have saddled Emanuel, chief of the third most-populous city, with the highest debt load per person among the 25 most-populous U.S. cities, according to a January report from Morningstar Inc.
Reed, 44, has been widely criticized for his handling of a paralyzing snowstorm this winter in Atlanta, the ninth-largest metropolis in the U.S.
Crime was not offered by any of the mayors as a prominent issue, a change from the litany of urban challenges officials often focused on in years past. Rates of violent crime have dropped in most major U.S. cities. New York recorded a 20 percent decline in homicides in 2013, and the fewest number -- 333 -- since comparable records were kept.
The economies of almost all U.S. cities are projected to grow this year, according to a report released in January by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. The survey of 363 metropolitan areas showed all but seven will see economic gains as the national expansion accelerates.
Revenue Increase
The improving financial picture gave cities their first increase in revenue last year after the longest recession since the 1930s, which officially ended in 2009.
At the same time, rising retirement costs are straining state and local government pensions underfunded by at least $1 trillion, according to a January report by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government in Albany, New York.
The pressure from unfunded pension liabilities prompted Moody's Investors Service to downgrade Chicago's credit rating to three steps above junk on March 4. The agency said the obligations "threaten the city's fiscal solvency."
Atlanta's Reed, who was re-elected in November, said it's time for the U.S. government to change its relationship with cities.
"Seventy percent of the country's GDP is in cities that we lead, but despite that we still have to deal with states," Reed said. "Send the money directly to us because we get it to where it is needed faster and more efficiently."
Garcetti said Los Angeles is creating high-paying jobs at a faster rate than low-paying jobs, "yet our poverty rate is higher five years after the recession than before."
"We have this amazing American innovation hub," he said, "but with no help from the nation."

Looking at Jeremy Miller's blog entry, it reminded me that I haven't gotten to this yet. So, here's the first stab at it. I'm unlikely to remember everything, but whatever. I will probably have a separate post to talk about what I took away from the event, how it did or didn't change what I think about Alt.NET, blah blah blah, but I'm already late on all of this, so here we go.
I arrived at the train station in Seattle around noon local time. My sister and her husband live in Seattle, so I was staying with them. I got a rental car and went to her place, and then we hit lunch while I waited for the event to begin. Two other guys I knew from Chicago, Sergio Pereira and Adam Tybor, flew in separately and were staying at the Marriott down the road from the event itself (which was hosted at DigiPen), and so I met up with them in the lobby bar a few hours before the event.
Digression #1: One of the things I thought about before getting to Seattle was how I should 'present' myself (for lack of a better phrase). I already knew the guys from Chicago, so I knew there would be some friendly faces, so to speak. From online interactions and email, I knew there were other people interested to meet me, and then others....well, maybe not so much. Shortly before the trip, for instance, Brad Wilson got all pissy on the mailing list because I said I didn't like HttpHandlers (of all things):
Digression #1.1: (I still stand by that, BTW...there are certain things that I guess can best be done with them, but otherwise, I think they are unnecessary and potentially troublesome. For instance, some of the examples that Ben Scheirman (IIRC, doesn't matter) gave on the mailing list were DEV only type things, and I very strongly think that the codebase between DEV, QA, and PROD should always be, unless absolutely necessary, identical. But that's a topic for another post, on my growing list.)
Because of this, I was thinking about printing up some T-shirts that read "I implement the IPrick interface" but decided at the last minute that it might not come across right to everybody, so I decided to wear my traditional native garb, which is a hockey jersey (two days of Penguins and also my Lemieux Team Canada jersey).
Digression #1.2: <rant>This is personal preference I know, but, if you are a jerk, or just strongly opinionated, please also have a sense of humor. Seriously. Most of the greatest work experiences, and even personal experiences, I've ever had have been interacting with very opinionated, 'asshole-ish', intelligent people who were really, really funny. To give a quick example: at my current client, Joe and Justin are the 'golden boys' of the local group. Justin is laid back, mostly polite, and funny. Joe is almost always angry, obnoxious, and funny. Working with both of them is great, but there are these transcendent moments when Joe is just being rude as all hell, and knowingly, but funny, that rock. One time he said (paraphrasing), "Well, I was hoping that you were going to implement that feature in this release until I determined you were too incompetent to do it...<reasonably long pause>...Do you think that was condescending enough?" Justin determined that if one took a transcript of a random conversation between Joe and myself, and removed all of the obscenities, it would be incoherent because most of the verbs would be missing. I love stuff like that. But anyway, seriously, don't be a humorless dick. </rant>
end Digression #1
Obviously, I didn't recognize that many people when I got to the hotel. I met up with Sergio and Adam, and was shortly introduced to Jarod Ferguson and Jason Grundy (and was lucky enough to talk to for a lot of the weekend). Scott Bellware was there along with those whom Adam takes to calling 'the Elutian Guys', but I didn't make an effort to introduce myself at the time (more on this later).
Digression #2: Completely unbeknownst to me at the time, a friend of mine who will remain nameless who is a Microsoft MVP supposedly introduced himself to Scott at the MVP Summit as 'jdn' and talked to him for some length before telling him he was kidding. I wish I had known this.
end Digression #2
Very shortly later, Ayende showed up. After a little while, I introduced myself to him, along the lines of "Hi, I'm John Nuechterlein, also known as jdn." He said glad to meet you, blah blah, 'how do you pronounce your name again?' I told him. Short pause. "Is it okay if I just call you 'jdn'"? Hilarious. Of course you can man.
So, since I rented a car, I did a little bit of taxi-ing, which was totally cool with me. Off to the event.
More in next post, sooner rather than later.

Youngsters tackling alcohol abuse are not receiving the immediate help and support they need, a new report shows today.
The data, published by charity Alcohol Concern, reveals that whilst some hospitals in England recognise the scale of alcohol harm amongst young people, simple measures are not established in many A&E departments.
The research shows that only 12 (9%) of A&E departments questioned offer alcohol harm-reduction interventions. Of these, only eight have the same interventions for patients under 16.
Nearly half (48%) of A&E departments do not have referral procedures in place, meaning that health staff are unable to direct young people with alcohol problems to specialist treatment.
The findings are based on data obtained from 128 A&E departments through a Freedom of Information request.
The report also reveals that almost three quarters (73%) of A&E departments have failed to developed strategies aimed at reducing alcohol harm in young people.
Just under a quarter (24%) of A&E departments employ a specific person to deal with alcohol problems amongst youngsters and of these, only 17% could assist patients under 16.
Don Shenker, chief executive at Alcohol Concern, said: "Too often children get patched up in Emergency departments and sent on their way, only to repeat the same behaviour in the future.
"Attending hospital is a significant consequence of excessive drinking and often can represent a 'teachable moment'. Hospital staff can implement a number of strategies which will reduce harm to young people and reduce costs to the NHS in the long term.
"These are low or no cost policies and practices which can pay huge dividends in the long run. With the highest rates of underage alcohol related injuries in Europe doing nothing isn't an option."
The report outlines steps that A&E departments can take to help youngsters "at risk", including early intervention, and calls for hospitals to prioritise reducing alcohol abuse in young people.
Nigel Edwards, acting chief executive of the NHS Confederation, said: "The amount of alcohol we consume is a society wide issue and the NHS can only be a sticking plaster for much more long term and ultimately more effective prevention measures.
"Getting the response right requires co-ordination across different parts of public services and Alcohol Concern's report clearly shows that, while some areas already have the necessary strategies and services in place, more needs to be done to make sure excessive drinking in the young does not become a long term, much more insidious, habit.
"In future under the Government's NHS reforms, there is genuine potential for new health and well-being boards to help lead this work so people get the most appropriate services."
The report states that according to the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) approximately 1,245 youngsters attend A&E departments in England every week for alcohol-related treatment, equating to 64,750 per year.
Alcohol Concern is the national agency on alcohol misuse, campaigning for effective alcohol policy and improved services for people whose lives are affected by alcohol-related problems.

Pat Lynch is a high school football coach in Wyoming. He has been the coach for the Buffalo Bison since 1998 and won back to back state titles in 2004 and 2005. He is a leader of men. But not girly-men. Oh, no. Get that weak shit out of here. Advertisement So, when some of these girly-men have hurt feelings, what's a coach to do? Why, pass out a Hurt Feelings Questionnaire, of course. "The survey, under a list of reasons for hurt feelings, includes such choices as 'I am a queer,' 'I am a pussy,' 'I am a little bitch,' and 'I have woman like hormones.' It asks for the name of the 'little sissy filing report' and his 'girly-man signature,' plus the 'real-man signature' of the person accused of causing hurt feelings."Lynch, for his part, submitted a letter of apology to the board of education and resigned his position. "I would like to apologize for my lack of judgment and the poor choice that I made from my position as head football coach for Buffalo High School. I know that this situation has caused you pain and discomfort, and for that I am truly sorry. As a person and a professional, I believe I will learn and grow from this experience and use it to help others. I appreciate having had the opportunity to coach in this community for the past 22 years. It has been a rewarding experience. I am eager to earn back your trust as I continue to serve in a profession that I truly love." Advertisement Continue to serve in a profession that he truly loves? But, who's going to hire this loose canon to coach their football team now? Oh, what's that you say? He will remain on as a guidance counselor at the school? The very school where this "queer" and "woman like hormones" survey was distributed?"Lynch 'screwed up big time,' said district superintendent Rod Kessler. The incident, he added, is "'a black eye to the district' and 'a black eye to Pat.'"Indeed.

Removing sway and track bars
Just wondering about how long it will take for me to remove the sway and track bars on my YJ? I haven't installed a lift yet but will be soon and figured I might as well do something until I have the $ for the lift? I know what the sway bar looks like and have no clue what the track bar looks like- a bit new to the jeep world. Any pics would be cool. Thanks in advance. Or should I wait until I have it up on stands?:rolleyes:
I would leave the say bar on for on road. The trac-bars can be removed however. Front runs from the passenger side axle to the driver side frame. Rear is reversed.
Track bars serve what purpose?
Well, I tried to remove the track bar and had a hell of the time with those bolts.
I removed my Trac Bars and Sway Bar a while back and it definately made an improvement in ride quality. I have the rancho 9000 adjustable shocks up front to make up for no sway bar, just dial em up a bit if needed. I do 70MPH( Michigans speed limit) on the freeway with no Ill effects
Spraying the bolts down with PB Blaster for a day or two should make it easier to remove them. |
If your stock springs are worn I wouldnt remove them yet. with your rear removed with saggy factory springs you will be much more inclined to break u-joints on your d.s. I had to use a cutting torch to get my track bars off. They are a stupid torx bolt and nut and they will be rusted together most likely.
The bars were added for mostly gov't regs, to make the jeep more stable. With out them the axle will flex more, must make sure your brake lines don't get over extended, though this is usually just an issue with lifted jeeps without brake line relocation or longer lines.

NCBI ROFL: Note to self: keep "squashed spider contents" out of eyes.
Acute conjunctival inflammation following contact with squashed spider contents.
"PURPOSE: To report the effects to the eye following contact with spider contents. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: A 46-year-old man presented with a painful and inflamed eye after contents of a spider got into his right eye when he squashed the spider with a newspaper. He suffered immediate severe pain in the eye, which rapidly became red and swollen. He had conjunctival edema and periorbital swelling of the eye and severe photophobia, but his vision was normal. RESULTS: Topical local anesthetic was applied to the right eye, which was then flushed with normal saline for an hour. The redness and swelling began to resolve over 2 hours. CONCLUSIONS: Ocular exposure to the contents of a spider can cause severe pain, swelling, and redness associated with photophobia. The effects are short term, so reassurance, irrigation, and symptomatic treatment are sufficient."

text: COUNT VS EXISTS If you want to check wether a rows or rows exists in a table for a given search criteria, which would be better choice between COUNT and EXISTS to check?

IF (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM tblEmployee WHERE empName LIKE '%najmul%') >0 BEGIN -- Your statement END Now if you have 10000 records in the tblEmployee it will look into all the 10000 records. So its time consuming. But when you use EXISTS then as soon as it finds one record its stops searching. So In this case it don't scan whole table and hence its fast as compare to COUNT. IF EXISTS (SELECT 'Y' FROM tblEmployee WHERE empName LIKE '%najmul%') BEGIN -- Your statement END

It sounds like you are embarking on quite a journey of discovery. Man I hope you find something. Having MS is shit enough, but to have at atypical case? I mean we don't even know much about "regular" MS, let alone atypical. I really, really hope some answers are found that improve your quality of life.

Not sure if any of the docs at NIH would like to attend the conference in Bologna on Sept. 8th, but maybe they can get an invite and travel taken care of (even at this late date). They will have access to all the specialists looking at CCSVI in one location, and would be able to discuss the implications of your results with the doctors that have seen it and are treating it....plus it's Italy and there's a couple of nice meals planned

What are you doing this summer?

Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next SYCAMORE TWP., Oh. - Exotic locales are not unusual for summer travels, but working on summer vacation may not be everyone's idea of fun.One local educator has a different definition of what makes a great holiday. Becky Miller, 31, assistant principal at Edwin H. Greene Intermediate School, has spent more than 10 years traveling for volunteer work during the summer.This month she travels to New Orleans with Habitat for Humanity to build homes for the fourth consecutive year. In addition to volunteering locally and within the United States, Miller has traveled to Haiti, South Africa and India."After every trip, I feel as though I come back with my bucket overflowing and I have a desire to continue reaching out to people," Miller said.The young administrator feels she returns home with a better understanding of the world. She said her travels have enriched her as both an educator and an administrator, especially when it comes to understanding children, their needs and their respective cultures. She said it's important to break down barriers and establish closer connections with both students and people in general. Life lessons begin in HaitiIt all started in 1998, when Miller traveled to Haiti as part of a Christian youth group. Her initial intent was to simply experience life outside the U.S. She said during her time there, she performed a variety of volunteer activities including hosting a kid's camp, working in a clinic and helping to build homes. Five visits to the country while in high school and college ignited a passion to help those less fortunate and reinforced Miller's decision to go on to become a teacher. She said as part of the natural progression, she continued to travel as a volunteer each summer."I love going on a great vacation like anybody does, but there's something about interacting with different cultures and seeing the needs in these places that kind of drags me to go back," she said. "It seems like the funny part is I'm always changed more than I can ever impact someone." Africa and IndiaAfter becoming a kindergarten teacher for Sycamore Community Schools, Miller continued her volunteer work. In the summer of 2009, she traveled with a group of teachers to Mamelodi, South Africa to work side-by-side with educators to help engage students with phonics and hands-on lessons.The following summer, she traveled to India to spend time with girls who were rescued from forced prostitution in both Mumbai and Kolkata. For the past four summers, Miller has gone to New Orleans to work with Habitat for Humanity, to both help with the construction of homes and provide a day camp for local kids."I feel like when I'm here in Cincinnati, I'm able to give back on a daily basis and I think that's part of why I went into education is to be able to do that to make an impact," she said. "But when we go to other countries and other cities, it gives me the chance to help in another way I guess. There's just something that tugs at my heart." Classroom to real worldIn addition to her contributions as a volunteer, Miller continues to make her mark as an educator. While teaching at Blue Ash Elementary, she spearheaded the kindergarten iPad cohort, which brought iPads to every kindergarten classroom in the district. She also served as a member of the Sycamore Literacy Council, led reading and writing workshops for staff, and implemented the first Blue Ash Literacy Night.According to Erika Daggett, chief Information officer for Sycamore Schools, Miller struggled with the idea of sharing her story as the recognition contradicted her reason for helping others. Only after Daggett pointed out Miller's experience may inspire other did she relent. "I'm blown away by her," said Daggett. "She warms my heart. What she does not only directly helps those in need, but she spreads hope to those around her by being herself and doing what she loves – helping others."%page_break% A gift to giveLast year, Miller received the Celebrate Excellence Educator award from the Hamilton County Education Foundation. Ann Marie Reinke, assistant director of academic affairs for Sycamore Community Schools, said she nominated her colleague for her dedication as an outstanding educator and giving community member. She explained Miller's gift to give fits in perfectly with the ideals of the district, as the Sycamore Schools continuously organizes and hosts charity events.Reinke said school districts need more young administrators like Miller, with a strong sense of passion and commitment that transcends to others, especially the students."It's really important for kids to understand that we don't live in a vacuum, that we belong to the greater community and when you give kids the ability to give back to others, they really do rise to the occasion," Reinke said.Daggett explained colleagues and students are not the only ones touched by Miller's unwavering commitment. As part of the 2012 Celebrate Excellence Educator nomination process, parent Chrystal Quigley recommended Miller for the award due to the lasting impression she made on both her and her daughter, Daggett said."She not only helps students learn, but she helps parents learn and grow," Quigley wrote. "She has motivated my daughter and myself to excel …and that will last through the years." Start close to homeMiller said she's a bit overwhelmed by all the attention, but happy to share her story if it inspires others to give back. She explained the best way to get started is to volunteer locally for charitable organizations like Habitat for Humanity in Cincinnati. Connect with Habitat for Humanity Greater Cincinnati http://www.habitatcincinnati.orgAt the local Habitat affiliate, volunteer services coordinator Tara Prices said people just need to have a wiliness to participate and they'll take care of all the rest, including necessary training. Price explained volunteers can register online and choose their preferred days as well as their preferred site from any of the nine counties included in the Greater Cincinnati region.Price said, like Miller, volunteers return year after year because they get so much back from the experience of helping others."It becomes a part of their life," she said. "They get the "habititis" as we call it."Miller will travel to New Orleans for just a week this year to work with Habitat building homes. She said she feels a special bond with the people there as she's established long-term relationships with both the students she taught in camp and the families she met while helping with construction. She said each time she volunteers, she takes away far more than she ever gives. Although the idea of going to a beach for a week holds its allure, Miller said she finds her working vacations to be far more rewarding."I think it's so worthwhile," she said. "You don't come back refreshed and relaxed from whole week of laying on a beach, but you come back refreshed in a different way because you're helping these people and you actually done something with your time."

Flowers in my Garden

A walk in the field
I took a walk in the field up north last weekend. It was a beautiful day and the flowers were incredible. I picked a few to bring home so I could take a picture of them. I would like to make a quilt and applique the different flowers on it. 2 weeks ago the Trilliums were in full bloom and they were gorgeous. I didn't have my camera that weekend.

Sharon Alpren first began to work with clay in the Australian outback where she discovered a natural affinity for the medium. Influenced by the colours and forms of the surrounding landscape, her work is known for its earthy palettes and textures. Now residing in Melbourne, her high fired stoneware pieces are both sculptural and functional (being dishwasher and oven safe). Intrigued by the processes of making and the nature of ceramic materials, she allows the characteristics inherent in the clay, the glaze and the fire to direct her work. Constantly experimenting glazes and finishes, Alpren uses a reduction atmosphere which creates a brilliant variety of tones in the clay and texture in the glaze.

F2Per's upon seeing a generous person
Playing that KOTH Megaman map
Last stage
We finally wrest the point from Blu
Suddenly, everyone who helped cap it goes waltzing off point
I'm the only one left behind to defend it.
And I'm a Spy.
I manage to keep it from being capped for at least two minutes, using my gun primarily before finally being overwhelmed.
No one responded to the point being capped.
No one ever showed up to defend it after Blu had it.
And to add insult to injury, Blu managed to capture the point when we had 1 second left on our clock.
Just...jesus fucking christ, if you cap a point in KOTH, DON'T LEAVE IT.
It should also be of note that I was cheated out of an Axetinguisher kill in the previous round on a Soldier, after sending his rocket back at his face, because the server decided "Oh, you never hit him" despite doing so on my client.
Fucking lovely
I love to make people happy so I buy Secret Saxtons/Pile o' Gifts from time to time, and everytime I give them out there's some utterly retarded immature player going; "Why can't I get free stuff! Give something to me!"
I wish they knew how they actually worked so I wouldn't have to explain it everytime...
What's funny is that the Fast Learner is uncraftable
Edit: It also seems that the person who gifted him the Fast Learner got VAC banned
VAC banned on Golden SRC or whatever its called because of a Mod or something,
the more shitty thing about this is people with selfmades including Sparkwire are being hacked by some douche who deletes thier Selfmade/Community items :V
Why does that person do that?
No idea why,
though im not sure wether they really delete thier stuff,
somebody hacked NeoDement and deleted his community Rocket launcher so i dont really know wether Sparkwire are going to get his stuff deleted,
Didn't support give it back?
I just checked an suddenly he's going to get all his stuff back when he enters tf2,
if that was there last time i checked i mustha been extremly blind o_o
Playing Sniper in a nutshell:
Because they deserve to be brought up before the Headsman.
I swear i will crush this goddamn minimouse with my horribly huge hands.
Alright I'm fully charged let's do thi- Backstabbed
Sweet got a full charge again, we're not in immediate danger so I'll just hold onto th- Random arrow to the face
100% uber, alright. Hold up, lemme deal with this Spy you don't se- One shots me with the Revolver
The general "every man for himself" attitude most new players seem to have.
Why push the cart or attack/defend the points when you can just rack up your K/D ratio?
I never bother with the objective, but it annoys me when people go against the rest of the server.
I was playing earlier, and only one scout was capping the intel. Annoying as fuck, because the enemies kept getting those damn crits, plus the rounds ended in about 5 minutes.
If the server is going for the intel, cool, I'll sap and stuff. If not, I'll just randomly backstab. Just don't go against everyone else.
Sucessfully deadringaway from the W+m1, backburner pyro, ....get found by a second one Who's using the degreaser
... What?
So if somene decides to actually do the objective of the map, it annoys you?
i've never understood why people complain about capping in ctf
the round will restart just how it was before, whats there to complain about
I sometimes put my signed items up just to laugh at people thinking its worth less
1 refined for all its just gifted shit dumbass
Then play Mariokart or something.
You're annoyed that enemy soldiers GIMP themselves down to 3 rockets?
What he's saying is if the whole server is non serious and everyones joking around, one dipshit capping can be really annoying.
People think of CTF as a deathmatch mode in TF2.
PLR too
try to be helpful and look what it gets me...
Capture the frag
It's irritating to fight as only just slower than Direct Hit speed rockets coupled with normal, fairly powerful damage and good splash range makes it harder for slow moving people to take down.
Plus, said speed boost is harder to airblast away.
That's the problem with Hightower, everyone just shoves the carts out of the way then has a fight in the middle.
problem ?
TF2's based around objectives, the basic fighting's fun and all but personally I prefer attacking the enemy defenses with a competent team.
Then what are you doing playing PLR ?
Because my mate Map Rotation wanted to.
Seems to me like he's trying to push the cart.
I instantly thought of this:
I hate how you can't skip or cut out some parts of your replays in editor. I've got this 18 minute long replay which contains propably 12 minutes of me running around our own base and not encountering a single enemy.
Yeah, true. I mean, you can shorten the clips, but can't cut out parts.

Okay, now Finding Carter is a drama filled show. Would you say your work mirrors your life at all?
So you're asking me if I'm dramatic? [Laughs] There are a lot of people that would say that I am dramatic. You know, one of the things about Finding Carter is that sometimes the people who you know are closest to you, turn out not to be the people you thought they were. They have secrets. They have something to hide. I haven't had that experience in real life. I've been fortunate; I'm very close with my family. But I do like the aspect of Carter coming home to a real family, [as she] eventually she comes home.
I always feel with my family, no matter what happens in my world, they are always there for me and I can always come home. I mean we're like any other family we have our drama. I just had a little bit of drama with my sister over the weekend so you know. All families have drama, and when you go through drama and you go through battles, it brings you closer, in my opinion.
That's very true. So what led you to becoming an actor?
Growing up I always envisioned myself doing something in front of a crowd. I was an athlete…I played baseball up until college. I always liked being in front of people and performing. I'm the type of person that is good under pressure. Given the circumstance, I can perform in front of people. I think that when my career in sports ended and I was introduced to theater while I was in college, it was kind of like a transition that was seamless. I got my start in Miami, you know being in Miami you are surrounded—not as much as Los Angeles but there is—you're surrounded by a lot of Latin entertainment. It always excited me. Spanish television always excited me; I watched a lot of novelas growing up. It was something that I could always see myself going into if you know that athletic career didn't pan out, and it ended up working out. I ended up doing a couple of Spanish TV shows and that transitioned into me moving to Los Angeles, and then my career took off. But I think I always saw myself doing something in front of people and this was a logical choice. At first I thought it would be theater and then I kind of got thrust into television and that's how my career took off.
Being Latino, did you find it at all difficult to navigate your way in Hollywood? A lot of people are told they should change the way they are or change their name, particularly their last name, just to land a role.
Yeah, you know I have to be honest with you. I was told that I should change my name. And I did for a couple of months, until I was sitting at an audition and the casting director started calling my "new name," my new stage name, and I sat there, and didn't respond. So she got closer and closer and I said, oh yeah, that's me I'll be right in. That's when I realized, that's not me, that's not going to change who I am in this business or break it. I'm back to having my normal name and going by Eddie Matos. To be honest with you, I think I've been really fortunate. I think I came at the right time when Latinos were becoming kind of like the "it" thing in Hollywood. I love the fact that it's grown and it's grown, and I had a great experience being in an all Latino-cast. I've been very fortunate and very blessed that being Latino actually worked to my advantage in Hollywood.
What advice would you give an aspiring actor?
I've been doing this for a long time and I've seen people come and go. When I moved from Miami to Los Angeles to pursue acting, even my roommate who moved to Los Angeles with me, lasted about 1 year and 6 months. I've seen friends go to Los Angeles and try it out for three months, one year, two years, and three years and turn around and go home. My best advice would be: If there's something you want to do and you really love, it takes perseverance. It's a no-brainer that we deal with rejection on a daily basis. But if you know you have what it takes, you have faith, and you are a hard-worker, then it will pay off in the end. As long as you have that perseverance and when your name is called you're ready to go...work hard on set and work hard on your craft, then you'll be fine. You will make it in this business; I truly believe that.
Love that! So you were born in Puerto Rico, but you've been here for a very long time. How do you stay connected to your roots?
I go to Puerto Rico at least once a year, and I'm constantly in touch with my family. You know social media has become such a great tool for so many things, but for me it's been a way to stay connected with friends that are on the island, reconnecting with people. It's funny, as you get older you grow closer and closer, and you don't take your family for granted as you might have when you were younger. I really reconnected with all my cousins in Puerto Rico, we make it a point to go out to dinner when I'm on the island—go on a boat, do something, and put together some family outings. Just remember to celebrate our family, remember to reconnect. It's one of my absolute favorite things to do, to go to Puerto Rico at least once a year and see everyone. The minute I land on that island I feel like I'm home, and I feel like that's where I belong—that I'm Puerto Rican, and that's what I am first and foremost.
That's great! Do you have any final words for our readers?
I think that Finding Carter is going to be the type of show that's going to transcend just being on the MTV Network. It's a show for all the masses. I'm so excited about this show because it's got so many twists and turns. It's got an amazing cast, an amazing head writer, Terri Minsky, who knows the characters really well. I think that the viewers of the show are going to be hooked from episode one and [will] watch it all the way through. I can totally see the show—I can totally hear people talking about the show: "Did you hear about the new show on MTV?" and "You really need to head over and watch this show." I think it's that good and I think it's that well-written, and it's a great storyline. I really, really love what's going on here.
Finding Carter premieres on MTV tonight, July 8th at 10 p.m. Will you be tuning in?
