This year's Most Innovative Products (MIP) contest at World of Concrete again includes many examples of creatively innovative materials and equipment. These products run the gamut from big to small, from high-tech to low-tech, and from high-priced to low-priced.
But they all have two things in common. First, they represent new ways to meet construction challenges. And second, all of the companies that have entered them in the contest hope you'll help decide which ones are this year's most innovative.
To help navigate the 144 entries, the products are categorized by primary application. In this issue, you will find products related to concrete production, specifically in delivery, production equipment, and materials.
But there are plenty of general interest MIP products in other categories. For an overview, or to vote for your favorites, visit www.mip2008.com. You can also see the whole field of entries at the MIP display in the corridor near the main World of Concrete Bookstore, between the North and Central Halls.
And while visiting the various companies at the show Jan. 22–25, vote at any of the cybercafes. Speaking of voting, there's a new twist this year. Everyone who votes online will be entered in a drawing to win an iPod, just our way of saying thank you for letting us know your opinion.

Dear Auntie Lucy,
I am quite new to teaching. I started out a few months ago with private students and have just got my first job with a school.
They are telling me I have to teach everything all in English. How do I teach vocabulary to beginners without translating?
Thank you for your help.


text: While I have a couple Fobus holsters for 3"and 5" 1911a and one for a Glock 21 (Roto model) I am not familiar with the model you desribe, my bad. After I saw a video during an Officer Survival Seminar put on by Caliber Press of an officer being diarmed in an instant by a bad guy grabbing the Fobus and twisting it off the belt violently(the paddle was actually broken off) and get the weapon I quit carrying a Fobus openly on duty. CCW under a jacket or vest is another story. I finished my career using a Blackhawk Serpa which I love and is very secure. The Serpa uses the extended trigger finger along side the outside of the holster to release the pistol which puts the finger in perfect position to be along the slide or in the trigger guard at draw. Several fellow Agts used Bianchi paddle holsters that had a thumb-tab to release the weapon and we were issued a Blade-Tech or Uncle Mike's Kydex holster for our G22s with Tac Lights that had a push-tab to release a strap over the gun. Everybody managed to qualify with all their chosen/issued gear, but I carried my 1911 in the Serpa every day over the G22 Tac rig. I spent a lot of UC details carrying a 1911/BHP/G22 all with rubber grips hidden under a shirt in a tight belt and retired from 2 full LE careers after 42 yrs. Must have done something right. Good luck on the holster search.

As you're reading these words, the International Green Construction Code (IgCC) is rolling out. Now, usually whenever the word "code" comes up in conversations among members of the design and construction industry, a tightening of the stomach is almost inevitable. Let me suggest that a different response may be in order this time.
Since the AIA took a leadership role in developing the code, with several architects drafting the document as voting members of the committee, the voice of the profession was heard. And as the code was shaped, there were many opportunities along the way for public comment. This feedback helped create language that was both flexible and focused on achieving the ultimate goal of a high-performing commercial-building stock. In the AIA's terms, which were embraced by the International Code Council, that means another step toward carbon neutrality by 2030.
The code is performance-based. Although the code mandates frameworks for both minimum and advanced high-performance projects, it encourages one of the profession's greatest strengths: design thinking. It returns to the architect a leading role in determining how buildings actually work, and it encourages innovation for compliance.
Having come this far in working with architects to develop the first code of this type, the AIA will not now shift the task of understanding and working with the IgCC solely onto the architect. The Institute still shoulders a responsibility to help architects understand the implications of the code for design and practice. This includes, among other matters, how the code will address site issues such as water or access to public transit and the way that the code will take into account different climates.
In May, the AIA will release a primer on the IgCC that will explain what architects need to know about using the code. The release of the primer during the annual Convention is no accident. Attendees will have access to workshops specifically targeted at understanding and working with the IgCC. Similar information will be available to AIA components to help answer questions about it that pertain to local conditions. And, over time, the Institute will closely monitor and address design and practice issues that arise in the continued development of the model code.
Many people have worked long hours to bring us to this point. The AIA won't step back now. The more architects there are who understand how to use the code, the better-equipped the profession will be to serve our communities and provide increased value to our clients. That's the future America deserves.
Jeff Potter, FAIA, 2012 President

So I'll certainly use the honey for feeding. Its a bit mouldy - does that pose a problem?http://beemaster.com/beebbs/viewtopic.php?t=4311
I've never seen a problem with a little mold on them. The bees clean them up pretty quickly.
Finsky,How do you tell if the honey is fermented or not?
Isn't old honey bad for bees? At what point is it considered "old" and hazardous for them?

Yea...nope. A mothership materializing out of nowhere with no sound? I'm sorry, but there's no way to violate the laws of thermodynamics. A vast amount of energy MUST be spent to do something like that.
Lol Ani8or, that's some nice ani8ing, but the reaction sounds were far less convicing. And camera work way too good.. but nice cgi work.
Needs more texture work. And you should look into making small animated details even if they're barely visible. That's what makes a good cg artist closer to being a great cg artist. just take a look at the ships from id4. And that was HOW many years ago?
PS: there is a videography forum for this sort of thing.
They must've visited to abduct the GTI and discover the wonder of German Engineering.
The ones I was lucky to spot, were just round gray discs in the sky (no blinking beacons)....one up front and two following at a distance behind.
Earlier, there were others that cruised with Orange lights on (solid, not blinking)...then would disappear.
My guess is they cruise with the lights shut down, when they want to see something or whatever they light up. Were like glowing orange objects that moved up and down.
They weren't planes, weather balloons, helicopters, Chinese lanterns, etc.
Interesting night, others saw them as well. Very surreal, big skeptic here before that.

A few things I loved at the Alfred Angelo Fall/Winter 2012 show:
Bright Bridesmaid Dresses: We've been seeing a lot of muted and neutral hues for bridesmaids over the past few seasons, so it was refreshing to see jolts of tropical blue, bright pink, and even vibrant orange used for 'maids. Perfect for those summer beach weddings.
Touches of Black: Alfred Angelo designer Michael Shettel wasn't shy about using black in his new collection – adding an edgy touch to several dresses. We particularly liked the sheer three-quarter sleeve jacket on this gown. So unique and a great opportunity for a bride to switch up her look.
Sequins! We've seen 'em on bridal gowns, and now they've entered the world of bridesmaids! How the LBD shown above, right for a New Year's Eve wedding bridesmaid dress? It's sexy and sparkly, but still understated and chic.
To see all of the new Alfred Angelo wedding dresses, click here; the Alfred Angelo bridesmaid dresses are in this slideshow. And let us know in the comments if you're a fan of these styles!

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Any New England area, if you are willing to drive to one of our pick-up locations.
Our rescue doesn't have an actual shelter building in the New England area. Due to this it is not possible to meet them prior to their adoption. Our dogs and cats are brought up to their new owners weekly! Our transport service is certified throught the USDA. We can provide additional photos as well as the contact information to the foster home they are living in. We strive to get good matches for our pets, so that everyone has a long and happy life together!
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

That you get treated like royalty for an amazing price get oysters upstairs dance the night away.
The hotel was nice overall and the front staff was very friendly and efficient. The hotel seemed very clean and I was always acknowledged by the hotel staff. The hotel restaurant was very good and has amazing views. I did not encounter any problems while I was there. I thought the hotel was in desperate need of a refresh or update. The rooms and the entire hotel seemed a bit dated. I stayed on the Captains Deck and the rooms were a bit small and did not impress. The sink did not drain properly. The most disappointing part of the trip was the breakfast which was never more than like warm at best. It come from the kitchen which is far away. The breakfast had 3 warm choices and one was always potatoes that were recycled from the night before. Not sure if I would spend that kind of money to stay at that hotel again.
The location was wonderful. Both times we stayed there, about a week apart, we were given rooms right next to the elevators which ran all night long.
Great hotel for business
The view from our room was excellent. The location was great as well. Within walking distance to the 5th ave. mall and lots of great eating establishments. Hotel was nice, clean and staff was very friendly. Hotel could use some renovations. The decor in the hallways looks like it came from the 70s. The bathrooms are a little small, expecllly in the shower.
The views, service, location and atmosphere were spectacular. Understated and friendly. Could have stayed forever. Valet parking is expensive, but very convenient.
Very comfortable and clean. Plenty of food and shopping. Had to pay and additional 20 dollars a day to park my own car. The hotel did not own the lot. The desk clerk filled out the passes incorrectly and I received a parking ticket. Took some arguing but I was able to get the hotel to reverse the parking charges so I can pay for the ticket.
Excellent fitness facilities Wonderful view Convenient to downtown locations
Valet parking, friendly staff, great location, clean, plenty to do at the hotel. The view from the hotel was amazing.
Friendly staff. Good restaurants and interesting shops. Good central location.
The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the staff was friendly. Make sure to park in the Captain Cook garage and have your parking ticket validated. We were able to walk to dinner and shopping from our hotel - nice!
The king bed was comfy, and the balcony was neat (though I'd get more use from it in the summer months...thought for next time). I found the amenities more lacking than I'd expected. I was pretty sure I saw cable TV listed, but the remote control's guide feature didn't work, and there weren't many channels. There was no mini-fridge; I thought those were pretty much standard in any hotel above "motor lodge" class. The toiletries (shampoo, body wash, etc) came out of dispensers). There were only a few cheap plastic cups in the room...so cheap that two of them were cracked and unusable before I even got them out of the plastic wrapper. I also expected parking to be included; instead, it was an extra 12 bucks. That's not awful, but for $100 a night you should be able to toss in parking.
aCean and well-located. Getting up in the dark to catch a plane--not the hotel's fault.
Location, accessibility, value for price, helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms False fire alarm later announced as a drill at 5:30 am.
Location Staff was rude and unprofessional, not to us but witnessed towards another guest. Hotel is old, outdated and needs a major remodel.
Being downtown was convenient. I regret getting an upgrade from the 3rd floor to the 12th because I ended up with an uncomfortable bed that sagged so much it felt indented. Having to pay for parking sucked. And my bed was so indented that I could not get comfortable. The pillows are too thick too.
The staff at the front desk was very friendly. They just smiled and welcomed us back when we were in and out all night with a big group of friends who also had rooms.
Location is great for shopping and downtown restaurants. Bath was in need of updating. Very limited parking lot. First floor check-in area was cramped, cluttered and needed updating.
Location to downtown and bus lines. Was kind of busy the night I checked in so it took a while for phones to be answered. Only on person at desk.
Free breakfast and friendly staff! A little confused about check out time( itinerary said something different than hotel). Children in the room next to us were noisy
I love staying at Quality Inn Downtown. The staff was exceptional and made our stay worthwhile.
The staff was very helpful. We are Gold members and since the Lounge is now closed on the weekend, we were given a voucher for a free continental breakfast in their restaurant. We were given late checkout, which we needed because we had a late flight from Anchorage. We didn't like that the Lounge was closed on the weekend. It was also a little pricey. They don't have a shuttle from the airport, although it seemed that many other hotels did.
Comfort, big bath and the view. No small refrigerator for my insulin.
I've had so many great memories here. I prefer this hotel to the Cook as the rooms are slightly larger and the decor doesn't make liberal Alaskans uncomfortable. The rooms are smaller than the hotels in midtown, and the restaurant in the hotel are not as interesting as the other downtown restaurants.
Enjoyed my entire stay. No transportation from airport. Restaurants are very expensive, although the food is good.
Location, staff most helpful with travel needs. Daily room rate costly
The staff was particularly helpful in getting dinner reservations and if you need it ask at the front desk to borrow an umbrella.
The room was great. Windows were dirty but view was great anyway
The location was great The hotel is very run down and looks to have not been upgraded in awhile. The rooms were dirty and falling apart. Wall paper in the rooms was coming off. There was dirt and dead mosquitos all over. One bed had a plywood backing on the wall to keep it tight. The lock on the door was loose.Paid extra because it was the hilton, but did not get my money worth.
This is one of the most dated rooms O have ever seen in a Hilton. Otherwise lean and well-run, walkable to downtown shops and restaurants.
Wish there was a way to know when amenities are closed for service! And the spa has plants growing in it!!! Bummer
The lady that checked me in was sweet and the bellmen that helped me in and out were spectacular The room was very tiny! The bathroom was even smaller! There was no ice machine nearby. When I ordered dinner, they were missing particulars from the order but did not tell me that when I ordersd
The hotel itself had everything we needed and the location was perfect for our needs i.e right next to the train station. the rooms were large and clean. The staff reception was one of the worst I had ever experienced anywhere in the world. We were not greeted for about five minutes despite the fact that they were not busy. We made eye contact with several staff however, they never came to the desk to assist us. One staff member at the counter, was too busy trying to assist a contractor (not a guest) and completely ignored us. When we finally did get service, the staff member did not appreciate that we had waited so long. Then, to add insult to injury, the rooms we had requested (adjoining rooms for our children) were obviously not arranged and it took the manager about ten minutes to sort it out.
The location is perfect. We walked everywhere we wanted to go.
It's great location for my meetings and also walking distance to mall and restaurants. Nothing, every time we stay there, we are treated great and staff always with great smiles day or night.
LARGE ROOM IT was not a full service hotel but there was a hotel across the street that owned it and you could use there things.
Nice large suite. Clean, comfortable. Good location downtown. Hotels in downtown Anchorage are expensive, although this one was a little more reasonable than others. Room had a a slightly smoky smell when first entering ( it is a non smoking hotel). Mention to desk on check out and they said they would check it.
Bed was comfortable. Room was spacious; we could spread out and relax. Nice to have a refrigerator. Good closet/drawer space. Need plastic glasses in the bathroom, or something other than large kitchen glasses to use. Seems a waste to use large glasses and put them in the dishwasher. Bathroom little small, but functional. Trains were a little loud at times.
good value, clean, good location, well equipped Railroad noiise
The bed was comfortable... Thats about all the pros for this hotel. Hallways were dark and barely lit, entire hotel smelled like mold or just downright disgusting to the point where my 2 year old daughter kept commenting on it. Room smelled just as bad even with the window left open the entire stay. I suggest you take your business elsewhere, the puffin Inn is cleaner, and cost about the same.
Nice beds and towels Moved to two different rooms. First room the refrigerator was missing. Second room, refrigerator did not work and our food spoiled. Then we went to the pool. Apparently the pool was "under construction" so it was closed indefinitely ...the refrigerator and the pool were the primary reasons we booked at this hotel.
I enjoyed the downtown location near quite a few excellent places to eat. I did take a cab a few times to midtown and the University and the front desk was very helpful in arranging my cabs.
It was a decent place. I was a little worried after reading the reviews, but I was happy with my stay. There was some remodeling work going on but nothing that I was concerned about. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. A little disappointed the pool was under construction!
Before we stayed at Anchorage Lofts Hotel we read a number of reviews that said the place was dirty, damaged and otherwise unpleasant. For this reason we payed pretty close attention while we were there and didn't notice any of these offenders. We stayed two nights, my boyfriend and I in one room and his father in another. After inspecting the rooms and other parts of the hotel we only determined that it was simply old. The bathrooms, linens, floors and furniture were all clean. The service was adequate... we had no complaints. I kept trying to find something "wrong" with the place after reading bad reviews but the only thing "wrong" was that it seemed very worn down. There were paint chips off of the walls in some places, the carpet had wrinkled up, and a lot of the hotel seemed like it had been through partial renovation. Everything was clean though, and everything worked in the rooms. I would say that if you're looking for a "fancy" place to stay, this doesn't quite make the cut, but for the price compared to the other hotels in the area it was definitely satisfactory.
For the location, in close proximity to local bars and such its well worth the price. great live music in the hotel bar. One of my towels was kinda dingy, downstairs door from parking lot wouldn't open I had to walk around to another door. The neighborhood is pretty rough around there. Very limited parking.
location, location, location The rooms were clean and everything functioned well. The staff at the front desk was nice and professional. We also appreciated the free and tasty coffee at the front desk. Thanks! It appears that this was a motel that was turned into a hotel. It just seems run down and a bit weird. It just doesn't seem like a standard hotel you see these days. Overall though it was ok.
Great value!! The only coffee provided was decalf. The name on out front is for the bar/restaurant, not the hotel.. I think it needs just one strong name for the whole establishment rather than multiple names.
Really great hotel that is central to exploring the historical areas of anchorage. The next block over is the statehood monument, city timeline, local history displays, giant carvings and statues, Alaska mint and photo ops. Also, shopping for local specialty items is all right there. Great breakfast!! Seemed mostly homemade, too. Long walk to room on super long hallway.
They are very strict for guests to respect noise and consideration of other guests. That is a good thing. Very friendly staff. Continental breakfast was appreciated but not memorable. Room cost was low compared to other other hotels but you get what you pay for. Could have done a better job of vacuuming room and lamp was missing a knob so could turn it on or off.
Friendly staff willing to help. There could be more seating for b/f;when there's a group it's a tight fit!
Has microwave and refrigerator and lovely mural on the wall in the room. Staff was friendly and helpful. Located downtown. There wasn't air conditioning in the rooms and it did get a little warm even at the end of May.
Overall a great stay for a great price! Extremely friendly staff. Only thing- thin walls with noisy neighbors.
Friendly staff, great price, great location, building is secure at night the room Was a bit cold and I couldn't find the thermostat and the bagel I got at breakfast was a kind of stale
Cozy. Old style. Noise of heater. Sounds like pounding on the windows,,Noise of heater. Sounds like pounding on the windows,
Cute and clean. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable! It had a great historic feel to it. Location was excellent. You could hear the people in the room above moving around, but it's a old hotel.

Hello everyone,
I am a college student who is living in madison at the moment because of a co-op for school. I am on the South West side of Madison. I don't know anyone around here and haven't done any hunting here before. I have done quite a bit of scouting, but everytime I try a place I end up returning empty handed not having even seen birds. I am open to any suggestions that anyone would have for me!

President Obama is the most Socialistic President in American History. But, he doesn't always get his way. One time while he was sulking, Hillary Clinton walked into his office to find him with a deep frown on his face.
"What's wrong?" she asked
"I just can't understand the American people." he replied. "It seems that no matter what I do I cannot get guns banned. I've tried everything. More than eighty million Americans own guns and I want to take them all away. Only we government people should have guns. I made gun control the theme of the Democratic Convention and I've got the Press pushing it. But, there are just enough Constitutional Congressmen to stop me. I don't know what to do."
Hillary communicates with spirits. "I've got a very dear friend who I think will help you. I'll see what I can do."
A little later a deep voice filled the room: "Bill, what do you want from me?"
"Wha...uh...who are you?"
"I'm Satan, the devil!"
"Oh, good! I'm so glad that you're here! Is there any way that you can help me get my Assault Weapons ban?"
" Sure! I did it for Hitler, Stalin, Tojo, Mussolini, and so on. Will you do what they did?"
"What is it, Lord?"
"Not much. Just give me your soul!"
"I'll gladly do that! I'll even give you Hillary's."
"I already have hers. Now, you're aware that you can't change your mind afterwards, right? So, do you agree? I get your soul and you get your gun ban!"
"You betcha!"
"OK! Have faith, my son and consider it done! Be seeing you again in a few years...Heh! Heh!! Heh!

China's Onda was once somewhat known as a manufacturer of low-cost PMPs that packed some relatively high-end specs, but it's unsurprisingly since moved on to more of a focus on tablets. While those haven't exactly garnered much attention to date, it's latest certainly continues that high-specs / low-cost tradition. Known only as the V972, the tablet packs Android 4.1 for an OS (a 4.2 upgrade is apparently promised), and it's among the first to use Allwinner's new quad-core A31 processor. The real standout detail, though, is a 9.7-inch screen that boasts the same 2048 x 1536 resolution as the Retina iPad. Otherwise, you'll get 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a microSD card slot, front and rear cameras, and a promised eight to ten hours of battery life -- all for $240. Those interested in taking the plunge on one will have to wait a bit longer, though -- it's currently listed as out of stock on Onda's website, and there doesn't appear to be any other retailers selling it just yet.
Looks like a decent tablet with $240, and some people even say that Onda V972 will be a competitor of Apple iPad. Another quad-core Onda V812 will also be available. Here is a Onda V972 & Onda V812 review: http://ondav.com/qua...da-v812-review/
Teclast also announced Allwinner A31 based quad-core tablet Teclast P88 Quad-Core.

text: Last season he played in 78 games starting 47 and averaging 26.9 mpg and scoring 16.2 ppg and 6.7 rpg. What is interesting is that he played 30 minutes or more in only 29 games. In those 29 games he averaged 23.4 ppg and 8.9 rpg. He was very consistent in those games, scoring 20 or more in 24 of 29 games, scoring double figures in all 29 games and getting 15 double doubles in 29 games. hmm...can you say, diamond in the rough?

LAS VEGAS – On one of the many days Leo Dunson wanted to die, the Iraq veteran put a gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. The loaded weapon misfired. For the troubled former soldier, it was another inexplicable failure, like his divorce or inability to make friends after returning from the war.
In a Las Vegas recording studio, Dunson rapped about his life: "What's wrong with me? Got PTSD. These pills ain't working, man, I still can't think."
One in six Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder in 2011, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Some committed suicide. Others are receiving mental health services at military hospitals. Many more are like Dunson and have refused help, according to research by the Department of Veterans Affairs' National Center for PTSD.
Dunson, who was discharged from the Army in 2008 and diagnosed by the military with PTSD, uses his music to examine his disappointment with veteran life. It is the only thing keeping him alive, he said. He refuses to attend counseling or visit his local VA hospital.
The use of music to heal war wounds is part of an emerging field of alternative treatment being embraced by military officials eager to help veterans suffering from PTSD. In Wisconsin, New Jersey, California and other states, government doctors in recent months have launched experimental music therapy programs that rely on the smoothing sounds of classical or acoustic music to help veterans get well.

havent happened yet in many years, but enjoy your male buttocks
Depnds on game type for me.
Fantasy without elves: Female
Fantasy with elves: Male
Shooter MMOs depend on class. Like I can't imagine a female tank. Or a male healer.
idk, if people are judging others for playing a character of opposite gender....do those people not play/never played thousands of other games where you play as a fixed-gender protagonist??
"When it comes to the past, EVERYONE writes fiction." -Stephen King
The only people who complain are the guys that go into games looking for actual girls to talk to and hit on instead of actually playing the game, which is why you almost never hear anyone complain about girls playing as guys, which a number do specifically for that reason.
Be careful of what you say, tomorrow or today, for the words you now speak, may become the poison your enemies later seek; truth.

Insurance commissioner encourages North Carolinians to prepare for hurricane season
NCHurriClaims.com provides insurance tips for the hurricane season.
RALEIGH, N.C. - The following is a news release from the North Carolina Department of Insurance:
The Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1, and Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin is reminding all North Carolinians to prepare for severe weather by visiting www.NCHurriClaims.com.
NCHurriClaims.com is North Carolina's source of insurance-related information pertaining to hurricanes and other natural disasters. The website includes tips for before and after a storm, descriptions of insurance coverages, important contact information and more.
"Everyone in North Carolina is at potential risk of property damage or loss from hurricanes or other natural disasters," said Goodwin. "Don't wait until a storm is approaching to prepare."
To prepare for hurricane season:
· Review your insurance policies. Make sure that you have appropriate insurance coverage for your needs. Know what your policy does and does not cover. Standard homeowners policies do not cover flood damage; flood insurance can be purchased through the National Flood Insurance Program and must be in place for 30 days before coverage takes effect. Renters should consider purchasing coverage for their personal property through renters' insurance.
· Make a home inventory and compile documents. Make a list of your belongings and take pictures or video of them. Keep your inventory list, purchase receipts, pictures/video and copies of your insurance policies in a safe-deposit box or other secure place away from your home, or email them to yourself. Bring copies of important documents with you if you are forced to evacuate.
· Take action to protect your property in the event of a storm. Cover your windows with storm shutters, siding or plywood. Move vehicles into garages when possible, or park them near your home and away from trees. Prevent outdoor items from becoming projectiles that can harm your property or neighboring homes. Grills, patio furniture and potted plants should be moved into the house or garage, or tied down.
If you have questions or problems concerning your insurance coverage, contact the Department of Insurance Consumer Services Division at 1-800-546-5664. Learn more at www.NCHurriClaims.com.

A day after admitting there was need to investigate possible violations of proper military procedures by the Israel Defense Force in the Gaza Operation Cast Lead, the foreign ministry had to argue the invasion was proportionate to the challenge. "Israel's resort to force in the Gaza Operation was both necessary and a proportionate response to Hamas' attacks." Israel definitely has an argument in support of the need to use force in response to ongoing Hamas rocket attacks, that is NOT the main criticism of the Gaza invasion. To argue killing 1,200(of whom about 900 were civilians) while losing fewer than ten people on your side suggests this is not a "proportionate" affair. Destroying vast areas of homes and businesses can hardly be justified on grounds there had to be a "response."
Israel trots out once again the 12,000 rocket argument. No rational person would disagree with the argument there was need to response to this provocation. There were several options that were never explored such as a massive bombing focus on tunnels or occupying areas in which there were tunnels. An army which kills hundreds of innocent civilians at a loss of fewer than ten has made a serious human rights mistake.
Israel is doing the right thing in conducting an investigation into human rights violations by its soldiers, no Arab nation would engage in such an investigation. But, it is time for Israel to admit its error in killing innocent civilians and gain the respect of the world.

Sen. Mary Landrieu has problems. Years of Reid/Pelosi/Obama far-left politics have come home to roost in her center-right Louisiana. Obamacare, regulation, and an anti-energy dictatorship have turned many LA voters against their Democrat tradition. Barring a masterful performance on her part, or an equally pitiful performance by the GOP (recall Todd Akin), Landrieu will lose November's race. Landrieu comes from Louisiana political royalty, but that dynasty is old-school Southern Democrat. Since the Senator has nothing to lose, her fellow Dems are using her for scientific purposes in their effort to hold the Senate.
While Landrieu has voted with Obama about 96% of the time, when Sen. Max Baucus retired to avoid the ignominy of being forced out of office, she tacked right. Baucus, off to China, gave his Finance Committee Chairmanship to Sen. Wyden, who opened his Energy Chairmanship to Landrieu.
Wyden is too far left to simply toe the Democrat line. He is Left by Oregon standards, and distances himself from Obama – to the left. This is the politician Democrats have until recently placed in charge of energy policy in the Senate – a global warming true believer. Landrieu comes from an oil and gas state that favors exploration, despite the BP spill. Landrieu signaled her new found interest in energy by endorsing the Keystone XL project just before the Baucus switch.
True, Senate chairmanships are largely based on seniority, but Landrieu could have received another job. After eight years of hard-left anti energy policy from the Democrats, they turned 180 degrees in the form of a LA Senator who pre-signaled her distance from Obama.
Democrats want to know if throwing Obama under their bus will save any votes from people disaffected by Obamacare and his energy policies. If Landrieu can make her campaign competitive by pretending she never voted for Obamacare and was always in favor of more drilling and pipelines, expect more of the same. No doubt Obama would dump his Hollywood leftie friends and approve Keystone XL if he thought it would save the Senate.
The wheels of Democrat political thought are on display here. If Obama approves Keystone XL, then Democrats believe the Landrieu strategy is operative and want to give her more room to maneuver away from the Left. If Obama cans Keystone XL again, Democrats have decided her seat and many like it are a lost cause and that Hollywood money is of more long-term worth. Like coal miners looking at a canary to see if they are in danger, Democrats have made Sen. Landrieu an existential test case.

text: I currently own a ported Springfield XD 9mm with 4 inch barrel. I like the porting a lot for target practice, however, I typically carry the weapon for self-defense and the porting is not ideal in that scenario. I was wondering if I could purchase a second non-ported barrel for the same caliber (9mm) and just drop it in with no ill-effects. Looking at the design of the gun while cleaning, I can't see any reason why not, however, I don't want to damage the weapon or myself while firing it. If it's possible, any recomendations on barrels that would work well with the XD 9mm?

April 24, 2014
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Juniors Mikelis Libietis and Hunter Reese earned All-SEC honors for the third time in their careers, the conference office announced Thursday.
Libietis and Reese both took first-team honors after leading at the top of Tennessee's singles and doubles lineups once again.
Reese, No. 27 in the ITA national singles rankings, has played at the No. 1 position in the Vols' singles lineup during conference play. He is a team-leading 25-9 this season with wins over three top-10 opponents. He became the first Vol to win the singles title at the USTA/ITA Ohio Valley Regional Championships in the fall.
Libietis, ranked 34th, is 21-13 this year and enters the NCAA season having won four of his last five matches. He has seven wins against ranked opponents this year.
In doubles, Libietis and Reese proved to be one of the top doubles teams in the nation firms third year. This year has been their best yet as a pair. They enter the final month of the season with a 30-5 record, including 9-1 in SEC play.
Together, Libietis and Reese won the doubles title at the ITA All-American Championships and were finalists at the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships during the fall. They have been ranked in the top two all season.
Libietis and Reese are starting to join some exclusive company as they finished their third years at Tennessee. They are the Vols' first three-time All-SEC representatives since John-Patrick Smith and Boris Conkic earned four consecutive honors from 2008-11.
Tennessee (17-10), ranked 20th nationally, awaits the release of the NCAA Championship draw on Tuesday.

|Babysitting: Are You Ready?
Let's face it: Not everyone is cut out for babysitting!
Babysitting might be the number one way other people your age are earning some bucks, but that doesn't mean you should automatically enjoy it or be ready to do it. How do you know if it's right for you? Ask yourself these questions:
Getting Permission From Your Parents
Okay, so what if you're pretty sure you can handle the responsibility of babysitting, but the adults in your life say you're not ready? Chances are, you should accept their judgment (being parents, they usually know what they're talking about!). But if you're convinced they're being too cautious, or they just aren't aware of how ready you really are, one of the best ways to show your parents you can do it is to prove that you're capable and responsible. Here are some ways to do this:

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sylvia, Feb 7, 2013.
Interesting article. I really like Johnny, but it does seem like someone is doing a lot to put him in the public eye lately. I even saw him on Say Yes To The Dress the other day.
"Weir was impressed with Max Aaron, who won the gold. "But otherwise I was somewhat disappointed," he said. "After Max Aaron's jumping ability, I very easily could have done very well in the competition and that was difficult to sit at home and watch.""
You could not have done "Very well" because you were injured and bad mouthing your competitors just to make yourself look good is not good form. Those who can do, those who can't shouldn't trash talk IMHO
He was injured?
I thought his reason for withdrawing was that he saw on the grand prix the level of skating had risen dramatically and he was not trained well enough to compete at the elite level anymore. So it sounds like he is saying the Americans aren't as good as the international elite.
Easily, really? Recent performance doesn't support that. I usually don't comment too much on all the various PR stuff that all athletes put out there - the press asks, they answer, a lot of it is worthless. This is really irritating though.
The 'if I'd only been there, I would have been great, you'd have seen it' stuff from anyone is really junk. The competition doesn't take place in someone's head - you actually have to get out on the ice.
Talking about what you saw is good (even if you're critical); talking about what you'd like to do in your own work plan is good; suggesting that you would have been in silver medal position if you'd shown up is disrespectful to the guys who actually got out there, took their risks and competed well.
Sitting in the "commentary booth" and telling people where you would have placed if only you had skated doesn't cut it.
Johnny - less talk and more action, ok??
I think that was a re-run of an episode from a couple of years ago.
From the article:
I really wish he wouldn't say things like this. It sounds desperate for fame.
And seriously, how many red carpets has he walked? How many fashion shows has he attended, let alone sat in the front row?
Probably quite a few of both. Now, major ones- probably not many at all. But there are so many red carpet events and minor fashion shows that it can't possibly be hard for someone with some connections (and he has been on multiple reality shows, his own and the food network thing) to get invited.
Yeah, but he talks like he's attending the Oscars and sitting next to Anna Wintour. Like celebrities, there are A-D lists for red carpets and fashion shows too. As I type this I realize that I've actually walked a few red carpets too, and I'm nobody
More than any of us have, I'll wager.
I heard he has a red carpet leading to the front door of his home.
I used to be a fan of his, and I don't dislike him or anything - but he's such a famewhore. He's constantly bragging about just how supposedly famous and popular he is. Gurl, you're a C-list star at most.
He's friends with Asher Levine and Chris Benz so he either walks in their shows or has front row seats. According to his twitter, Johnny attended a fashion show at the Russian embassy last night for a Russian designer and has invitations to four other fashion shows next week. Two years ago he designed a coat for Adrienne Landau's fall line and a dress line for edressme.com
I am forced to agree, that is some serious TRASH-TALKIN'!!!!! If someone looked me in the eye and said, "I very easily could have done very well" in comparison to my performance...well, I would just wither up and die! I can barely stay seated in my chair thinking how crushed Mr. Aaron must be upon reading this shattering vitriol! Would it be appropriate for us to start up a collection for flowers for Max? I surely hope Aaron won't withdraw from 4CC after being attacked in such a horrific manner...
Weir was complimentary about Aaron; you meant "I surely hope Miner and Dornbush won't withdraw from 4CC..." right?
^^ Johnny's complimentary about Max's jumps, and of course, his eyebrows! Max even gave a shout out to Johnny along with an eyebrow wiggle in the kiss 'n cry after his I]Tron Legacy[/I] sp.
PeterG, you mischievous curmudgeon, you're so curmudgeonly loveable.
Johnny Weir, you mischievous fallen angel (turned crouching tiger, hidden dragon?), quotable, never-say-die rebellious diva Swanita, and misunderstood Nature Boy! I wish you well and thanks for the memories ...
Fond wishes to you too, PeterG.
Exactly my point.
""Evgeni is unlike anyone else I've seen in the sport. He fights until he's bleeding or crying every single day to be better. He's the surest thing about the Sochi Olympics. He will be there and he will be in shape."
So, Johnny, the lesson to you is: Be Like Evgeni, Johnny Weir.
I find it interesting Johnny says he easily could have done very well when the 4 men's medalists all scored well over 240 points for total scores while in the events Johnny competed in this season he was getting like 200. So really, you think you could "very easily" jump 40-50 points over the course of a couple months? Come on. Maybe he was trying to say that apart from Max, the other top guys weren't reeling off tons of quads, but what about Johnny's 3a that's so often MIA? He doesn't usually even attempt 3a-3t. Further, Jeremy didn't bomb and wound up third, and IMO was lucky he didn't wind up lower than that, after landing all three of his planned 3axels between his two programs. To me it seems Johnny is trying to belittle the accomplishments of the other men on the podium, which isn't cool because they all skated really well and to a level we haven't seen from Johnny in quite a while.
I don't think anyone's arguing that Max gives a rusty hoot about what Johnny thinks.
I think Max and Johnny actually get along. They have tweeted each other, plus Johnny complimented his eyebrows.
I just think it means that he thought he could have been competitive, not that everyone else sucked.
"After Max's jumping ability," um, I can think of several other skaters who could have done very well if not for their jumps. You're not the only other competitor with great artistry!
I don't think he's necessarily trash talking, maybe he's really that naive.
Max does have nice dark eyebrows.
I'd say they get along
I love this picture!! lol
I think Johnny still doesn't understand CoP.
Agree! Less talk, more action, Johnny Weir.
I think Max gets Johnny, as do most skaters who have the chance to get to know him. I think they realize that he's kinda crazy, very unique, and above all, loveable. It's just some fan "types" and some media "types," or let's just say "uptight" people who don't get his humor and his cheekiness, and/ or understand how to read between the lines of what sounds to them like simply "trash talking."

The Canisius baseball team split a doubleheader with Siena College at the Demske Sports Complex on Saturday afternoon. The Golden Griffins won the opener 9-3 and lost the second game 3-1. Canisius is now 20-12 on the season and 8-3 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Game One — Canisius 9, Siena 3
Siena struck first in the top of the fourth on an RBI single from Andres Ortiz, but Canisius starter Alex Godzak was able to strand three runners as the Saints left the bases loaded. Siena starter Matt Gage held the Griffs hitless through the first three innings, but sophomore Anthony Massicci lined a ball off the fence in center field for a leadoff double to start the fourth. After junior Connor Panas beat out an infield single deep to the hole at shortstop, senior Shane Zimmer followed with a sacrifice bunt. Jimmy Luppens then sent a grounder to short, but an errant throw to third in an attempt to cut down Panas allowed all the runners to be safe as Massicci came home to tie the game at 1-1.
The Saints reclaimed the lead in the top of the sixth, which featured an 18-minute delay after a foul ball broke a light on pole behind the Siena dugout. John Rooney had an RBI double and scored later in the inning on a wild pitch to give the Saints a 3-1 lead.
Canisius took its first lead of the day in the seventh inning that included a number of perfectly executed bunts. The inning started when senior Jose Torralba reached on a hit by pitch in a 0-2 count. Senior Jesse Kelso followed with a drag bunt single up the first-base line. A wild pitch put two runners in scoring position, and senior Ronnie Bernick singled just past the glove of the outstretched shortstop scored Torralba.
On the next pitch, Mike Krische dropped down a bunt on a safety squeeze with Kelso sliding around the tag with a head-first slide to tie the game. Massicci followed with a bunt up the third-base line and beat the throw from Gage to load the bases. An RBI groundout from Panas put the Griffs in the lead and an RBI single up the middle from Zimmer gave the Griffs a 5-3 advantage. Two-out, two-RBI hits from Puscheck (triple) and Bernick (single) broke the game open as the Griffs scored eight runs in the inning and sent 12 batters to the plate.
Godzak went six innings, allowed four hits and three runs, walked four and struck out two. Junior Brandon Bielecki (3-1) threw three scoreless innings of relief, allowing two hits and striking out two, to pick up the win.
Bernick went 2-for-4 with three RBI while Zimmer and Massicci each had two hits in the game. Luppens reached base three times with a single, walk and HBP.
Game Two — Siena 3, Canisius 1
Siena (8-24, 6-2 MAAC) scored two runs in the top of the first off Canisius starter Rohn Pierce. One-out singles from Mike Allen and Justin Esquerra put two runners on base as Andres Ortiz hit a ball to left. Kelso couldn't come up with the diving attempt on the catch, and the ball went all the way to the fence for a two-run triple.
Canisius got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth, taking advantage of an extra out after a dropped throw by Allen on a grounder from Puscheck. A two-out, RBI single from freshman Christ Conley made it 2-1. Siena got that run back in the sixth on an RBI single from Ortiz to go back up by two runs.
Canisius had the tying run into scoring position in the seventh as Bernick and Zimmer singled through the left side. Neil Fryer would strike out Panas to end the game.
Pierce (6-2) took the loss by allowing three runs and five hits on 91 pitches while striking out four. Ed Lewicki picked up the win for Siena by allowing one unearned run in six innings.
Bernick had two hits for the second time on the day while Kelso reached base twice with a hit and a walk.
Canisius and Siena conclude the three-game series on Sunday, with first pitch at the Demske Sports Complex set for noon.
Notes: The game two loss for Canisius was their first in eight MAAC home games this season… Panas saw his career-long hitting streak end at 15 games… Krische recorded a steal in the opener and now has 39 steals in his career, the most by a Canisius player through his junior season… Zimmer extended his hitting streak to a career-long nine games… Pierce threw at least seven innings for the fifth straight start… In his last six outings, Bielecki is 2-0 with a 1.86 ERA in 9.2 innings.

Our comprehensive four-day advanced first-aid course will teach you the skills needed to earn your WAFA certification or be recertified as a Wilderness First Responder or WMA Wilderness EMT.
L.L.Bean has partnered with Wilderness Medical Associates, a respected leader in wilderness medical education since 1981, to bring you this four-day (36-hour) course that presents the fundamentals of medical treatment and rescue in the wilderness. It gives a more detailed presentation of topics than the WFA course and provides useful hands-on patient experience through realistic scenarios. It also serves as a recertification course for a Wilderness First Responder or WMA Wilderness EMT.
Day one begins with an overview of general wilderness first-aid concepts. You'll be taught how to assess patients, including evaluating their circulatory and respiratory systems. You'll learn how to control infections, perform CPR and other basic life-support techniques.
Day two will focus on the nervous system, a common area of serious injury in the outdoors. You'll learn how to manage damage to the spine and other musculoskeletal areas, plus treatment methods such as splints and lifting/extrication techniques. You'll conduct extensive drills on accurate patient assessment, so you know exactly what to do in this type of emergency situation.
Day three covers how to handle a wide range of potential hazards, including thermoregulation methods; bites and stings; lightning and electrical injuries; wounds and burns; anaphylaxis and allergies. You'll receive step-by-step instruction, plus hands-on practice in patient-rescue techniques, including improvised carries and further assessments. You'll also be able to choose from a variety of elective topics on wilderness first aid.
Day four wraps up the program with a detailed case study, incorporating many of the subjects previously covered and allowing you to put all the knowledge you've gained to practical use. You also discuss other topics like backcountry medicine and medical/legal issues. You'll conduct patient assessments and simulations and have another opportunity to explore more elective topics.
All necessary equipment, including course materials, is provided. Successful completion of the course requires full attendance and satisfactory performance on written and practical quizzes. Itinerary subject to change at instructors' discretion.
L.L.Bean does not usually cancel events due to inclement weather. However, we reserve the right to cancel an event at any time due to severe weather, low enrollment or other concerns. If L.L.Bean cancels your event, you will receive a full refund for the cost of your reservation.

text: Trailer here. I'm not flipping out over this one the way I do with some remakes. When a film is adapted from a book, I often feel there can legitimately be multiple film versions that interpret it in different ways. (Okay, I'm a hair-splitter.) That said, it looks to me like this one isn't going to be nearly as good as the Joan Crawford version. JMHO. Veda doesn't seem as snarky or as evil, and no Eve Arden, and no Jack Carson . . . and no shoulder pads!

Kevin Nealon
Spotlight show • The 59-year-old comedian, a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" from 1986 to 1995 and a star of the Showtime series "Weeds," is developing a TV pilot with his wife. In a phone interview, Nealon said the potential show will, like "Weeds," not have a laugh track though, like "Weeds," it could have a "munchie track." The Connecticut native and California resident has been busy since departing "SNL," where he was one-half of "Hans and Franz" as well as Subliminal Man, Mr. No Depth Perception and the anchor of "Weekend Update." Besides touring, he wrote a book about having a pregnant wife called Yes, You're Pregnant, But What About Me? His advice to expectant fathers: "You're not alone." He is considering writing another book. Until then, he continues to perform stand-up, hoping never to draw hecklers. When he does encounter them, "I start speaking very softly." Well done, Subliminal Man.

Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside
Spotlight show • The headliner for Saturday's show at Urban Lounge is Thao & the Get Down Stay Down. But go early to check out the Portland, Ore.-based band Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside. Ford, the frontwoman for the soul-influenced rockabilly band, grew up in North Carolina, but headed West after high-school graduation. "I thought about San Francisco or New York City, but those are so expensive," she said in a telephone interview. For a while, she worked at a bagel shop in the Portland State University food court, but quit when the buzz for the band built. During that time, she also developed key friendships with Portland's favorite sons The Decemberists. The Avett Brothers also were early supporters asking Ford and her band to open many dates. "They did so much for us," Ford said. The band is gradually gaining support, even though Ford acknowledged that one of her bandmates, who used to work on fishing boats in Alaska, would "make a lot more money fishing." The band will perform at Boise's Treefort Music Fest March 21-24.

Chelsea Grin
Spotlight show • This will be a homecoming show for Utah-based Chelsea Grin which is the term used when a victim's face is slashed from the edges of the mouth to the ears. (Makes you grin thinking about it, doesn't it?) The deathcore band, known for its three-guitar attack, formed about four years ago when lead singer Alex Koehler was attending Valley High School in South Jordan. Last year the band played the entire Warped Tour and released a five-song EP called "Evolve." "This is the best lineup that's ever happened to this band," Koehler said of the sextet, which has seen a revolving door of members. The band is already writing a new full-length album, which Koehler promised will "push even farther than 'Evolve.' " Everyone in the band lives in Utah, and during this brief stop headlining "The Sick 2" tour, they plan to dine at La Frontera and taco carts, while cherishing the simple pleasure of sleeping in their own beds for a night. "As a child, you always hate where you live," Koehler said. Now, "there's nothing like home," and he is not being sarcastic. Guests on the tour include Attila, Betraying The Martyrs, Within the Ruins and Buried in Verona.

Curtis Salgado
Spotlight show • This bluesman, the inspiration for John Belushi's "Joliet Jake" Blues, performed at the Utah Arts Festival on June 22. Less than a month later, he had surgery to remove a cancerous mass from his lung. The same type of cancerous mass had been removed from his lung in 2008. "I'm doing fine," said Salgado, who underwent a liver transplant in 2006 after being diagnosed with liver cancer the previous year. The 59-year-old singer and harmonica player said in a phone interview he is fortunate to have avoided chemotherapy, since each time a cancerous growth was found, it was removed through surgery. He darkly joked that one day he might end up as just "an ear and one arm." Salgado, winner of the 2012 Blues Music Award for Soul/Blues Artist of the Year, released his latest CD, "Soul Shot," on Alligator Records last year. It's a rich sampling of soul music that Salgado enjoyed while he grew up in a musical family. Even though it is technically a soul record, his signature sound is still there. "You find the blues in all music," he said.

The English Beat
Spotlight show • English Beat leader Dave Wakeling has been a longtime favorite at The Depot, but will headline The State Room for the first time. The 57-year-old native of England is a contented, sockless man who lives in Malibu, though he has one regret: His birth name doesn't befit the leader of a legendary ska band. "If I knew I was going to be in a group, I would have named myself Dave Danger," he joked. The 2 Tone ska revival band, founded in 1978, will play all of Wakeling's hits, from The English Beat's "Mirror in the Bathroom" and "Save It for Later" to General Public's "Tenderness." While those songs avoid the political, many of Wakeling's songs address evils in the world, from nuclear arms to war. He remembers watching the news with his father when he was 11 and seeing footage of the Six-Day War involving Israel and Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Wakeling remembered finding the footage "repugnant" and realizing that war was "self-defeating." He was once asked if pop and politics should go together. He replied, "Only if you're singing to human beings."

Hi all,
Well, it's the weekend again, which means I have time to paint! :) So I took the opportunity to finish up my FP vac-formed cod piece.
I don't have any step-by-step photos of this piece. But my painting technique is the same as always: topical.
I used some Polly S US Med Green for the base coat, after testing a different color from the Testors MM line that was supposed to be the same. No dice. :thumbsdown
After the base coat, I drew on the damage, sizing my reference photos so they would be the same size as the actual piece. Once I was happy with the damage placement, I painted the silver first. I use Tamiya Chrome Silver for my "bare metal" damage. It goes on smooth, and it dries really fast!
Once the silver was done, I used Testors Yellow Zinc Chromate for the exposed yellowish areas. All damage was applied with a fine detail brush.
To get a more uneven, blended finish, I misted on some plain flat black. In the close-up pic of the dent, you can see the speckles. Everything was then sealed with Testors Dullcote.
So now I'm one step closer to finishing my costume! Woo-hoo!! :D
Enjoy the pics.

I shall wait.
BTW, the idea itself can be incorporated with an absolute minimum of fuss from the filter I gave, the only issue would be that it can never replace the original filter template, and that even if the script was started with arpspoof, it must be continued with ettercap. I look forward to when this is added to your script.
Also, if you go on IRC at all, you should come to #offtopicsec where we can talk more in depth and more responsively about these things.
