What Are Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRPs)?
Drip Investing
Companies offer DRPs as a way for their shareholders to buy stock directly from the company (usually through a transfer agent) in very small to large amounts, and usually on a monthly basis if desired. These plans get their name from the fact that they also reinvest dividends paid, using these dividends to purchase more stock. Thus the name "Dividend Reinvestment Plan." The specifics of whether or not you have to reinvest the dividends depends on the plan.
Advantages of DRPs
- You don't need a large amount of money to start. Usually owning one share is all that is required to enroll in a DRP.
- DRPs are a cost-effective way for Fools to put stock dividends to better use -- purchasing more shares of the company -- than simply spending the money or having it sit in a money market account. Most DRPs allow dividends to be reinvested at no fee.
- Most companies allow investors to purchase additional shares through a Dividend Reinvestment Plan for nominal fees -- or often no fee at all. These stock purchase provisions, sometimes called Stock Purchase Plans (SPPs) or Optional Cash Purchase Plans (OCPs), allow an investor to send in as little as $10 to $50 at a time to purchase additional stock.
- About 100 companies have DRPs that allow investors to purchase stock at a discount to the current market price. These discounts can range anywhere from one to ten percent.
- DRPs "force" investors to buy stock on a regular basis and hold on to that stock. As a result, investors adopt a long-term horizon and often invest small amounts of money on a regular basis -- money that they usually don't even miss. Nearly 200 companies also offer the option to make periodic DRP investments through automatic debits from bank accounts.
Kinds of DRPs
- Company-run: Many companies take it upon themselves to run their own DRPs. These are often the companies that allow you to buy directly through them without requiring you to first own a single share, although this is not always the case. The company-run DRPs are administered from corporate headquarters, normally as part of the overall shareholder relations effort. Some companies may even offer Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) along with the DRP.
- Transfer agent-run: As managing DRPs can be cumbersome, most companies have turned to third parties, called "transfer agents." Transfer agents are financial institutions that run DRP programs for many companies. Because they can use the same resources for a number of customers, transfer agents can often provide DRP management services at a lower cost than the company could achieve by itself. Some of the larger transfer agents include Boston EquiServe, L.P., First Chicago Trust, and Chase Mellon.
- Brokerage-run: Some brokerages will allow shareholders to reinvest dividends at no cost, even if the company in question does not have a formal DRP itself. However, these brokerage-run "simulated" plans apply to dividends only and do not permit optional cash purchases as most company-sponsored DRP plans do -- and optional cash purchases are a large part of what makes DRP plans so attractive. (click here to compare the offerings of several different brokers).
DRPs are a way to begin investing with a very small amount of money and to keep investing monthly (or as frequently as you can afford) in small or large amounts while avoiding brokerage commissions and reinvesting dividends. In the long term, it's a great and "patient" way to grow money. You have dollar-cost averaging working for you and you're investing, ideally, in great companies that you don't foresee selling at any time. That's very Foolish.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS299782
This part works with the following brands: General Electric, Hotpoint, Kenmore.
This part works with the following products: Refrigerator.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
I have a fridge in my garage. I have found that a glass of ice water or a cold drink outside is very important to me. When I discovered melting ice dripping onto the garage floor I was very upset. I spun the fridge and found that the compressor and fan weren't starting. I got out my multi-meter and discovered that power was not making it to these components. I did some research and found the wiring diagram online. There really isn't too much going on with a fridge and the most likely candidate seemed to be the run capacitor. I ordered the part, replaced it in a few minutes and the fridge began working again.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
unplugged refrigerator. removed light bulb from old socket. unsnapped old light socket and pulled it out just enough to diconnect the electrical plug that plugs into the socket . discarded the old socket and plugged in new socket. snapped in new socket into refrigerator. i watched how to do this simple procedure on you tube and decided to do it myself. easy easy easy
First turned off power and removed top shelf.Then I used a flathead to slowly pry the switch out by the two sides. You just anlge ita bit and it slideds out easily. Then I disconnected the wires from the old switch, connected the new one and installed the new switch by snapping it back into the cutout.
After I bought what I thought I needed for the repair. I asked a friend to come over and look at it. He changed the the light socket and put the same light bulb in and it works great. I am returning the light switch but decided to keep the light bulb. Getting on the internet was so easy. This was really very simple. Thank you for making what I thought would be a big ordeal into something very simple.Paulette Johnson
pulled the lightsocket back and down and took out bulb an unplugged. replaced with new socket nd put back in refrigerator and was missing roller in dishwasher. On that part all i had to do was push the clip onto the little bar and push the roller in
To repair the light socket which was not functioning, I identified and followed the instructions on part-select on you tube. I unplugged the refrigerator, cleared away and removed the shelf below the housing for the light. I reached up under the plastic light protector with a screwdriver and popped up the tab on the front holding it in place. Then I easily pulled out the defective socket. I reversed the process and popped the new one in to replace the old, screwed in the light bulb, put the shelf back, plugged the fridge in and was finished. This took only about 5-10 minutes. To repair, and replace the dual inlet-water valve, I pulled the refrigerator out and removed all the nuts protecting the back at the bottom. I unplugged the fridge and turned the water switch at the wall to off. I once again had identified the problem by the symptoms on part-select, ordered the part and watched and followed the repair on part-select on you-tube. There are a variety of nuts and bolts to remove the protective housing and then get to the water inlet valve unit at the back left bottom side. It doesn't take long. I unplugged the two electrical lines holding the water inlet valve in place, I unscrewed the bolt in the center on top and the two valves underneath that are the three water lines from the water in the refrigerator back to the unit and on to the ice maker. I replaced the unit as instructed and started to reconnect the hoses. At that time, I noticed that the hose from the unit to the ice maker was a little brittle at the end. So, I suggest you check all your hoses as well when you identify the same problem. I decided it would be best to replace the hose as well and ordered the ice water hose from part select. I left the water off and put the fridge back. The ice maker hose replacement came quickly, in 2 days. Then I simply pulkled it out and replaced that ice water line in about a minute, reversed putting back the rest of he screws that hols everything in place, closed up the unit, plugged the fridge in, turned on the water valve at the wall and put the refrigerator back in to place. This process, if uninterrupted, would take about 30 -45 minutes. Everything is working good as new now. I probably saved myself at least 150 dollars, had the satisfaction of fixing it and learned something myself about how the whole thing functions. Part select is a find!
It just unpluged and the new one plugged in. Simple. The part was reasonable and arrived very quickly. It sure is nice to have a light in the frig again.
turn breaker off first then use thin blade screwdriver and plastic pry bar to remove light socket and switch there was plenty of wire so work was easy to install at both ends
I unplugged the refrigerator. Pressed the tab near the light bulb. Unplugged the socket and reconnected it.
The light in the fridge somehow blew and melted the ocket to which it was attached to. There was no way the bulb was coming out so I ordered both the bulb and socket to replace. Simple plug and play and it was installed in less than 5 minutes.
pluged the wire harness into the new socket from the back and snaped the socket in place.
Frig parts had been scavenged in an apartment complex. Restoring socket was only a matter of plugging in two spade contacts and clipping in socket.

In 1851, the American author and one-time sailor Herman Melville wrote what would end up being his magnum opus. Melville had already written a number of books about life at sea but it was his 1851 novel Moby Dick; or, The Whale that brought him to fame.
The story is told through the eyes of Ishmael, a person who traveled on the Pequod ship. There he meets Captain Ahab, a person responsible for caring for the ship. Ahab is a man who has an ivory leg.
The reason why he has this ivory leg is because a whale attacked him and devoured his leg in a hunt. The whale is referred to as Moby Dick; the first person to find him will get a gold coin.
Much of the story covers the Pequod's travels along the water as it looks for the great white whale. They meet many people including a British captain who lost his arm to the whale but holds no grudge towards it and a number of sharks out to attack Queequeg, a Polynesian prince who travels along in the story.
The story covers a strong sense of vengeance as Ahab is out to do anything that he can to take out the whale. This is even in the event that the whale takes his life, destroys the ship and kills everyone else who is on it. In addition, Ishmael even defends the practice of whaling and even works hard to clarify many points in the story.
The story includes many other noteworthy characters. There is Starbuck the chief mate, Stubb the positive second mate, Daggoo, a black man who works as a harpooner, Flask the short third mate and Tashtego, a harpooner who is of Indian descent.
One fascinating aspect of this book is that Melville uses a number of different storytelling devices to carry the narrative forward. Part of this includes the use of literary devices like asides, soliloquies and poetry. The novel has been heralded for being one that is easy to recall and very unique in the way how it is written; it has plenty of extended passages but they are all written as clearly as possible.
A fascinating part of the story is that it is heavily inspired by actual events. Melville designed the book after a retelling of a ship being sunk an 1820 after a sperm whale attacked it. He also based it off of the reported killing of an albino sperm whale called Mocha Dick in the 1830s off of the Mocha island near Chile. It is widely reported that Mocha Dick had a number of harpoons in its body and was willing to attack literally anything in its path as a means of getting vengeance from the attacks that it had taken in.
Today Moby-Dick is celebrated by people around literary circles as one of the greatest American novels ever made. In fact, its heritage lives on as in 2010 a newly discovered extinct whale species was named after Melville. The Livyatan melvillei was believed to be about fifty feet in length and had fully functional teeth.

Fuller Gardens
Display has always been a goal in Alvan Fuller's North Hampton garden
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Union Leader | July 22. 2013 4:26PM
Rose gardens at Fuller Gardens were planted in honor of Alvan Fuller's wife, Viola, who loved the flower. (COURTESY OF DENISE BROWN)
NORTH HAMPTON — Businessman Alvan T. Fuller didn't create his massive gardens for himself. In fact, once he understood that the blooms could be seen from the road, he ordered a redesign so that even more flowers could be visible.
"His wife Viola really loved roses," Colen said. "So he built the garden really in tribute to her."
The side garden is laid out in a circular pattern of rose beds with grass pathways, all of which surrounds an antique well head. The garden is closed in by a privet hedge and a cedar fence upon which are "espaliered" apple trees.
The most recent garden on the grounds was built in 2005 and is known as The Lydia Fuller Bottomley garden. After four years of planning to make sure the design was in keeping with the Olmsted design, this garden was created to display statuary given to Fuller Gardens by the late daughter of Alvan and Viola Fuller. It features a reflecting pool with a marble nude flanked by twin rosebeds and an open grassy area.
Following a plan put in place by the original garden director back in the 1920s, the Fuller Garden staff among other things, cut the hedges every week and mow the grass three times a week. They also keep sharp the demarcation line between the grass and the soil.

Moving can be a difficult, time consuming and stressful process. One way to make the process easier is to select the best truck rental available from a Zephyrhills rent a truck company. Some of the most important factors when choosing moving trucks are the size of the vehicle needed, the cost per mile driven, what accessories may be needed during the move, and of course, how long the rental will be used for. All of these factors make up the base price for Zephyrhills truck rentals.
There are many options for Zephyrhills, FL pickup truck rental, trailer rental, and moving trucks rental. It is important to decide the size needed to most efficiently move the items required. Truck rentals can range from a standard pickup truck for smaller moves, such as the contents of an old office or an attic. A van rental can accomplish a similar purpose though vans typically can hold more contents than a truck bed. Trailer rental is a good choice for slightly larger moves, for example moving the contents of a studio or one bedroom apartment. Choosing full size Zephyrhills truck rentals is the best option for moving any size of apartment or house larger than two bedrooms. Along with the truck rental itself, it can be a good idea to ask about renting moving equipment. Many companies will provide dollies, straps, and other accessories to secure items and make it easier to get them in and out of the indoor space.
The location of your new home will dictate what kind of Zephyrhills truck rental you will need. If you're only moving across town or around the block, for example, you'll be able to choose from moving trucks that you rent and return at the same facility. These vehicles are meant for city driving and short distances. You pick up the truck in the morning, move your belongings and then return the truck to the office parking lot at the end of the day. Interstate moves require a different type of truck rentals licensed to operate across state lines and built to withstand the heavy demands of four-lane highways. Your need for these sturdier rental trucks will narrow your list of rental location options. You pick up the truck or van at the local facility, load and move your belongings to your new location out of state and turn in the truck at the rental office in your new city.

As you can probably tell by the low post count I've been lurking around here for while, reading up and ultimately trying to make my mind up on what costume to start doing first. I don't know if anybody else had the same problem but theres so much choice I couldnât decide on where to begin. I started off intenet on doing the SE Boba Fett but thatâs had to go on the back burner for now, then I bought a Don Post biker scout bucket and made most of the soft parts but couldn't afford to buy the hard armour so thatâs been put on hold aswell but then I stumbled across this beauty on evilbay. It was an absolute bargain so I couldnât resist it. I've no idea who the maker is but itâs a plastic face kit with leather mouth and nose pieces. The eyes, nose and spikes are all plastic. It needs a little bit of work- one of the eyes is a little loose, one of the spikes is at a jaunty angle to say the least and some of the bandages are coming loose but thatâs not so much of a problem as it adds to the overall look.
And heres a gratuitous helmet shot for good measure haha
I was messing about taking a few photos and I realised that you could see my eyes poking out so I'm going to put some black mesh inside to sort that so it doesnât ruin the mystique . I used that most sophisticated of computer programs Microsoft Paint to mock up what it should look like when you can't see my squinting pupils peering out
The next couple of jobs are going to be to make a tusken rifle. I've got the plans for it and access to a lot of wood so that shouldn't be too hard a job. Plus it looks like making the pointed end of the gaffi stick could be a pain so the rifle would be the easier option.
I also quite quickly discovered that there is pretty much zero visibility in this thing, I'd compare it to looking through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars I've heard of people cutting holes in the side to let a bit of light in and to help with peripheral vision. Has anybody tried doing this without ruining the mask? And if anyone has any tips for getting some more ventilation it would be greatly appreciated because it's ridiculously claustrophobic in there lol
I'll be updating this as I progress so wish me luck :-)
edit: Why won't it let me post photos?!?

text: When you look back at the age 1980-1992 when ladies skating made huge leaps forward in jump content, all the ladies took what was essentially a break in the middle of their programs called a "slow section." This was not good in all respects, but I think it may have allowed ladies extra breathing room to get through four minutes while attempting increasingly strenuous and mentally-demanding triples. Now that programs are more draining than a 12 minute program from the 1980s or 1990s would be, perhaps the best antidote to a lack of progress in ladies jumps is a mandated section that is skated slow. I doubt this is practical, but it would be fun to see.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Gotta say it but I am with the resident conservative crank on this one, that being Sway or Guy as many of you know him.
The longer the footage of a boat the less it is used and the more it costs to operate it or not.
Sailaway went to Kings Point US MMA near Great Neck, Long Island, NY and was forced (likely) to sail in some quite small craft on LI Sound as I found myself doing without the a$$holes in the crash boat with a bull horn shouting at us to tack and tack again.
There really is something to be said about ease of use for sailing. A Sunfish can be rigged in about 10 - 15 minutes and be ready to sail which is almost the same for most beach Cats like the Hobie or even a Laser. It does not take much more to break down and store them either.
Many trailer sailors lament the time it takes to rig the mast, provision and launch their boats plus the break down time. Most recommend keeping the trailer sailor rigged at a mooring so you wil use it more as there is less time involved with 'dry' sailing it. This involves bottom painting the boat and securing a mooring that will hold the boat AND a tender to get back and forth from shore.
The simplest boats are the Sunfish, beach Cats and various mono hull day sailors which can be set up withing 20 minutes or less. They get used the most as it does not require much effort to get out and get everything secured when back at home base. This is why Opti's are popular yet expensive for their size (more than a Sunfish).
I will say to all you later in life sailing bloomers that you should enjoy yourselves as much as you can on your whatever footage boats you have but even if you learn to sail your 30+ foot boats you will not have the same understanding of how the wind, waves, and tides to be able to sit in a Walker Bay sailing dinghy and be able to deal with it all as well on your gargantuan behemoths that seldom scrape their bottoms on the bottom.
I have no dog in this fight but I can say to all of you that you do not know what you have missed once you have gotten your a$$ wet while sailing on a diminutive boat or capsizing in it.
I spent 3 weeks this summer teaching 12 - 17 year old kids how to sail in an admittedly confined area with PFD's on the Sunfish platform and I wished there were not as many rules that had to be followed. I still have some high school friends who sailed on a Minifish (smaller then a Sunfish) from Hempstead Harbor to Fort Schuyler (Throggs Neck Bridge in da' Bronx) a year or 2 after HS graduation and they did not wear any helmets or PFD's.
I do not look down my long nose at anyone who has learned later in life on bigger boats. I just think that you all missed a small part of the puzzle of how it is done. In a sense engines are for losers but I will not leave my mooring on the Hudson when ours is not working as the current is nearly 2 knots.
I learned to windsurf in my twenty somethings and I can swim well enough. I can sail the tiniest teacup back to shore or swim if the water is rough.
Big boats are great but they just do not leave the dock often enough.
I say if you wanna sail, buy a sail boat.
Everyone has different comfort levels and ideas of fun. We bought a 26 footer as our first sail boat and it has been a perfect fit for us. It is small enough to not be intimidating and big enough to give us the comfort to make sailing fun for us. Because it has a heater we can sail year round where we are (the pnw) and just have to take turns ducking below in January to warm our hands.
If we had a 18 footer we would have only sailed 3 months of the year, where's the fun in that?
However if I was living where the water is warm I would have a Hobie for sure!
They are fun!
Buncha hooey....
People do buy boats for different reasons, some even to be marina queens. But anywhere you look, the vast majority of the actual sailing is being done in small boats. Far more big boats sit tied to the dock, rarely going out, than small boats. And a good percentage of those big boat buyers bought the boat for voyages they'll never get around to making.
The small boats are out sailing on the bay when it's too rough to go outside...the big boats sit tied up because there's not enough room on the bay and it's too rough to go outside....
Catamarans alone put big boats to shame in not only numbers but usage. Cats really get used and seemingly everyone on any type of a lake has one.
I know a guy with a thirty foot or so Hereschoff ketch. He sails it, but he sails his Sunfish more! If he could have just one, he'd probably keep the ketch, it's special, but he'd sail less.
tjk's point about selling a boat is valid really only for big boats. If you spent $2000 on a boat, you'll likely have no trouble selling it for the same price quite easily. Or you'll not have to sell it because you'll just park it in the side yard, sort of like tjk's Sunfish!
And small boats are just more fun to sail, period. The only hiking out big boat sailors do is either to the bank or the poor house! (g)
Sure big boats are more comfortable. Most sailors just don't identify sailing with comfort first. I guess I'm slighting marina queens everywhere, now. You want comfort, buy a La-z-Boy. You wanna sail, buy a small boat.
The main reason we bought a 39' as our first and likely last boat is the damn tax in WA. Buy a boat, pay 9.25% tax to register it in WA which you must if you are going to keep it there year round. So you start small, buy, pay tax ,sell, pay broker, buy, pay tax, etc.
For us, at our age knowing we likely won't be sailing for 20 more years it made more sense to pick the type of boat that would suit our needs and cautiously grow into it. Conversely the family who have a 36 footer next to us at marina, have owned if for 1 year, are already thinking about a 40 footer next year. That's a lot of money to leave on the table for the tax man and boat brokers. Half the sailors we meet tell us we are nuts, the other half say we got it right, they wish they had done what we did. Who knows, we are having the time of our lives, and that is what matters. Grey haired kids!

There have been several articles in our area about folks buying huge cruising bikes or high powered sport bikes as their first motorcylcle. They end up in trouble, injured or worse.
It's the "over analyzer's" who always buy the wrong bike (and I suspect boat). They come in shopping with a notebook, making notes of all your answers to their questions ... price ... cc's ... warranty ... etc. When they do buy they are almost always on the wrong bike and are unhappy. It took me a few years but I figured out what they were doing wrong; trying to make a rational choice on a non-rational purchase.
I mean, no one needs a boat, not unless it's how you make your living. Just like no one needs a bike. These are emotional decisions, be rational but not too rational. If you don't just LOVE your boat (or at least what it's going to be like when it's finished) then you'll never be happy with her. When making a decision like buying a boat, listen to your heart more than usual.
Hey, this is a sailing forum and I don't want to bore you with motorcycling but I just want to say: I'm an old fool, and that means old school. I started small and worked my way up to very powerful machines, it took years but doing it right has had rewards. I can beat all but one of the young guys at work around the local race track (Man do I love that! LOL) and still able to ride with some of them off-road (the young ones just leave me in the dust, Man do they love that! LOL).
I still say start small, learn the joy's of solo sailing (it builds confidence like nothing else) and always buy something that just "has that look."
Sorry for the long post.
|My first and so far only boat is an 11' Sea Snark. You don't get much more basic than that. So the answer is "Yes" some people still start small.
I don't have a lot of experience myself, but my Catalina 22 seems to me like a good boat to learn on. I had a little experience with a Sabot beforehand but not much, and the C22 is a lot easier to sail- yet it's big enough to cruise/overnight on for me, my wife, and my dog.
Plus, I got it for $800, and couldn't even find a good condition Sabot for that cheap!
|I think part of this is the American way of doing things. There have been several articles in our area about folks buying huge cruising bikes or high powered sport bikes as their first motorcylcle. They end up in trouble, injured or worse. How many people are in a deep financial hole because the bought way more house than they needed? Restraint is a thing of the past.
[QUOTE=painkiller;508155]Who cares? What's it to you?
I must care!! I took the time from my busy sailing schedule to post it on a public forum!! Actually I mostly wrote that so I culd read my own words. I've lokoed at a lot of boats lately, most of them would be nice except they were bought without really thinking about what the owners were getting into, then they were left negleted. A lot of the offshore races I get called to do are older peeps who bought to much boat and want to be an "Offshore Racer" I usually don't end up going for lack of preperation, and they seem to not know what they are getting into. So it was mostly a rant on my part. If someone learns or takes anything at all from this great, otherwise, take from it what you want. Either way it had an impact

Eeeks, I have been teaching my chickens that they have to go to bed when I want them to. It is dark here now at 4:45 PM or so (can't wait for the winter solstace, coming soon, the days getting longer, yea!!!!). That is right in the middle of when I am getting our supper ready. So, I have been teaching all these lovelies that they have to go to bed earlier. They are getting better at it, hee, hee.
Last night I was putting the chickens in their house. There was this one lady that just plain and simply decided that she didn't want to go to bed. Of course, Antonio, (the Rhode Island Red) appears to be the dude who is always the last one to go in. I think he needs to guard or something making sure all the ladies are in. He is a gentleman, the other rooster, Roquefort, I don't think is quite so gentlemanly.
Anyways I watching her, wondering why she was being so stubborn. She went over half way across the yard and squatted down. Oh brother, now what. She popped out an egg, it was really weird, it just kind of plopped out on the ground. She immediately turned around and pecked it, gross, it just splashed and burst and squished on the ground. Then she started to eat it. Eeeks!!! I really hope that she is not one of those egg eaters. I went over and kicked some dirt on it and covered it up, thought that would be best, maybe I should have let her finish it off.
Now what I am curious about something that I bet someone can enlighten me about.Is this an instinct to leave no trace behind, as when animals in the wild clean up the mess after birthing their young? Anyone know.I know all animals don't leave a trace of any birthing material around, that is their instinct, this prevents predators from smelling blood and stuff.
Now this brings about another question, hoping someone can give a good answer to.When the chicken lays the egg, obviously it is soft. How long before the egg hardens with the shell after being laid. I have on occasion found an egg that was just the membrane, that is eeky and eerie. So, those are the thoughts and questions for the day. Have a beautiful and great day, great health. Cindi
She kind of squats when she walks, all the time, this is the way that she walks, and it is rather weird, because it looks like she is always trying to hide, keeping herself low to the ground.
OK OK THE EGG EATING ISSUE;Chickens will do this if for some reason they were cracked when they hit the ground they will smell it and they love to eat egg. Just try to remove it as soon as possible.
Now just because a hen eats an egg dosnt mean she will turn into an egg eater.
Many breeders when they have a ton of extra eggs will just boil them and then smash them up shell and all but mashed up with boiled and cooled egg is the only way they should be alowed to eat them. It gives animal protien as well as calcium that is easier to digest. It is very very good for them.
If they are board if they are getting to much protien or not enough proiten they will start this. Calcium has not a lot to do with it. Now with soft eggs meaning they are mostly membraines this is one of those freaks of nature things. They usually happen when the hen or pullet first starts off there laying cycle of the season. When starting out there cycles will not be in sync and sometimes they miss that last cycle. If they already have oystershell in there pen make sure it is fresh and not old and hard. You can try giving them just grit with oystershell.
It is a mistake that happens also if they are getting old and past laying age.
Allot of factors are in there. When was the last time they were wormed? This could cause them to go out of sync with there laying cycles. Just like the double yolk egg. 9 times out of 10 it is a pullet just in her first laying cycle or a hen when she starts laying again. Then you get those hens who pass it on to there daughters and they do it and you breed for it. There is allot more to this but dont worry about it from time to time. I know it is weard but it happens. Let me know if you want more info.Angi

Would buy this if given the opportunity.
This is a great wine but I have already spent enough $$$ this year. Decisions....
Scott Harvey 2009 InZINerator 6-Pack
2009 InZINerator
CT link above
Any idea of the drinking window on this?
Effectively the same price as the offering in April. At about $14 shipped to your door, this is a good deal.
Scott is a great winemaker - all about the wine and the craft. His wines are always a treat.
This Zin is big and fat and round and smooth...and slighly sweet...not the tannic dry finish you find with some zins. So I call this my "party zin" - works well with grilled meats, burgers and such. Also good for folks who prefer fruit forward reds.
bcudone wrote:Any idea of the drining window on this?
I've gone through a couple of bottles since April - it is drinking well now - balanced and integrated. I think that is the way Scott intended it - pop, pour, drink now.
I am going to hold some and see how it evolves over the next year or so.
Is CT in or out? It's listed with the ship to states but I get a message it can't be shipped there when I try to order.
I curse you woot!
There is no way I have space for this, but you find a soft spot in my defense system.
On the bright side I don't have to horde the 1 bottle I have left of this.
Ugh... In for 1.

We, or our palates, disagree on this one. I tried one of these in September and I think it needs some more time in the bottle to integrate. We may just have different tastes though.
As for how long you can cellar this, It should have no problem easily going another 3-5 years and probably much longer. I have some of the 07 which is just now really hitting its stride.
jgiannon wrote:Yeah I am getting the same thing, Where's the firestorm??

PM for you.
They have shipped to Maryland before. What's up?
damorere wrote:They have shipped to Maryland before. What's up?
I don't believe Scott currently has licenses for CT or Maryland and has stated before that he doesn't expect that to change any time soon. Too expensive and time consuming for him. If you call his tasting room and ask for Jana, they will typically try to make other shipping arrangements for you through various distributors. Good luck.
Is VA out too?
$18 a bottle at the winery website
Tax to NY $7.56
Shipping to NY $28.95
Great Deal for the East Coast!
ras5gkebt wrote:Is VA out too?
Read why Virginia might be out of the game for awhile!
I prefer the peppery zins with a tannic finnish like so many Ive tried from the Paso region. Maybe this one's not for me ?
North316 wrote: Ready why Virginia might be out of the game for awhile!
Suddenly thinking of moving.
Interesting that NC is on the list now, when in a previous offering it wasn't. I know Scott ships to NC, but there was an issue shipping the InZin due to stick-in-the-mud legislators thinking the superhero label would appeal to kids.
This and Big Ol' Cataclysm's are the only two things my woot! Watcher is set to auto-buy. And I will continue to auto-buy InZINerator, without question, for as long as it is produced. This is by far one of my favorite wines for anytime sipping and sharing with friends.
In for one, but only one b/c I don't have room for more... :-(
bcudone wrote:Any idea of the drinking window on this?
Sorry I did not get on before it sold out. Drinking window is about 10 years, so I would say up through 2019.
I accelerated the demise of this woot by jumping in for three, with barely a thought about it. InZinerator is my all-time favorite, and I've been waiting with baited breath for it to appear again.
My Christmas will now be considerably merrier, thanks to SH and Woot!
Nooooooo! Missed it! Arrrrgggh!
Mine will arrive today. Fastest wine woot ever...just 4 days !

I've been sent the new Family Tree Maker 2012 by Ancestry to review – lucky me . I've been using FTM for quite some years now so am familiar with the look and feel of the programme, I find it intuitive and I have been happy to recommend it to friends and my genealogy students.
So what does the 2012 edition have that is different, what do I like, is there anything I don't like? Here goes ….
Installation was easy, no hitches, just put the CD into your computer and follow instructions. Then you open up your FTM file which is easy enough as long as you have stored it where you know where it is ! Luckily I did, I have helped a friend recently who has his genealogy files hidden away here and there on his hard drive– NOT a good idea! A warning comes up saying that your data file will be adapted so that you can run it on FTM 2012 and recommends you do a back up first. You can opt to not do a back-up, but believe me if they suggest it do it!
Once you are up and running the first page you get to see and this page will come up every time until you do it, is one that asks if you want to link your Family Tree Maker tree with one on Ancestry. I haven't done that yet as I have my tree split up into 5 trees on Ancestry – one for each grandparent and one for a one name project. It seemed a good idea at the time to do this, but now that FTM has the ability to update the online tree I wish I had put them all in together as one. Hey ho, hindsight is a wonderful thing!!
Once you have got past this page the look is identical to the previous editions except this time I have tones of green not blue. It really doesn't matter to me what the colour is so I haven't investigated if I can change the colour tone.
Everything seemed about the same until I discovered Smart Story. You get to this via the Person Pane and click on Media then New, then Smart Story from the drop down box. You can opt for a blank page or decide that FTM can work something out for you which you can then edit. I did this and got a page similar to one that the programme generates when you do a FTM book. The great feature with Smart Story is that you can generate one of these pages and it is attached to the individual and also that it automatically updates when you add something to the individuals file. Great for printing out and sending to someone who wants particulars of that person. Mind you if the tree is on Ancestry then you could just direct them to the tree.
So far these are the only two new features that I have come across, if I find more and I suspect there is a lot, lot more I'll report on them.
Bottom line is would I still recommend Family Tree Maker 2012 to everyone? = definitely. Do I think it is good value for money? = yes I do. I think the feature of being able to sync your Family Tree Maker with your online tree on Ancestry is great and this alone would make the purchase or upgrade to FTM 2012 worth it.

hope you all enjoy. its not the best sadly.
Very disappointing.
Begining is Okish, after 2:16ish is okish again. Inbetween wasn't that good. After that it gets listeneable for a bit. The end is unvonventional, but ok.
When you read that article it talks about <chord changes that "aims for a definite goal">. Even if you do stick to one chord, you would conventionally return to the root note to start and/or to end the patern, or a series of paterns. This way you get a patern sounding finished and complete. For a thight rythm, you need a musical idea that doesn't just run off somewhere, but has a structure.

Ten years, 120 covers. Being on the cover of a magazine is not all glitz and glamour. These people who agreed to our request to be photographed often posed for hours in the early morning. (That is when the lighting is best, our photographers say.) Sometimes it's bitter cold, other times it's hot and humid. More importantly, these people took time from their busy days, and for that, we thank them.
We asked some of the people who have graced our covers since the first issue to talk about the past and the future. In their own words.
Dale Yoder August 2002
Dale Yoder is president of Big Valley Concrete in Belleville, Pa. He started Big Valley as a mobile mixer business in 1994, and has been producing ready-mix since 2002.
In our area, poured walls came in really strong about 10 years ago.
Foundations used to be 95% block, and now they're probably 80% to 90% poured walls. It's been one of the biggest influences that helped us get our foot in the door. The masons in our area still have a lot of brick and stone work, but it's getting harder to find good masons.
People are also asking for different coatings, staining, and stenciling. It's phenomenal what you can do these days. We see a lot more coloring and decorative concrete, and we're getting into some light commercial jobs now that residential work is slower.
Concrete pumping has really changed our area, too. Five or 10 years ago, we'd use a pump once a week, and now we use them on 75% to 80% of foundations. The available lots for houses are getting steeper and more mountainous. Without pumps, they'd be really tough to do.
As an industry, I see us trying to improve our image, even down to the landscaping in front of our plants. We need to do a better job showing that we are professionals, that we can be good neighbors and fulfill a need.
When Big Valley first started out, some of the older producers gave us an incredible amount of help. We tried to learn as we went, and they gave us advice on how to get going, what to work on, where to be. It's amazing how much people are willing to help each other in our business.

Pekka-Eric Auvinen, an 18 year-old Finnish student wanted fame– he got his wish as he blazed away in a Finnish secondary school on Wednesday killing eight of his fellow students before killing himself. He used a 22 caliber handgun for the massacre and had learned to shoot at a shooting club. The first alarm reached police headquarters at 11:44 a.m. and by 11:54 a.m. police were at the Jokela school, located north of Helsinki. Parliament adjourned shortly after receiving information about the shooting, the same Parliament that went right along with its business after learning of the 9/11 attack.
Who was Pekka Eric-Auvinen? Two days prior to the shooting he had posted a video on YouTube showing him in the forest shooting at an apple. The video was entitled, "Me Shooting With Catherine." On Wednesday morning, shortly before heading to the Jokela School Centre, he uploaded a short video onto YouTube entitled "Jokela High School Masacre-11/7/2007″ Before being removed by YouTube the video had been watched over 200,000 times. Pekka admired the boys who were involved in the Columbine shooting and the Virginia Tech shooter. Auvinen appears to have considered himself more evolved than other people seeing himself as almost a god compared with "the masses." He wrote: "Although I chose my high school as the target, my motives are much deeper. Most of you are too arrogant and closed minded to understand." His Internet material makes note he was interested in history and philosophy and found movements on either the right or left of the political spectrum to be most fascinating. His classmates described him as a loner and some thought he had been subjected to bullying. His parents are both part time musicians and his mother is active in local politics.
Was it a coincidence the event took place on November 7– the 90th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution?
His classmates lit candles in memory of those who died.
Pekka-Eric Auvinen– Who Was He?

You wont get the best trade on most handguns unless you already have a pretty good relationship with the shop you are trying to work with. A lot of times you're better off to sell it yourself. but if you can get 250-300 out of it I'd say you're doing pretty good. The P89 was not seen as one of Rugers best works. They were not all that much to buy and they're reliability was hit and miss for a few years.

WITHOUT spectators, professional football would not exist, for it is the fans who pay their money at the turnstiles that keep the game going.
The financial structuring of club football has changed enormously over the years of course, from the days in the 1950s, '60s and '70s when jackpot ticket sales were the major source of back-up income, to the current climate of sponsorship and corporate hospitality.
With these changes and the introduction of all-seater stadia the game has attracted a somewhat different clientele from those cloth-cap days, and with the world game now shrunk onto our television screens, supporters' expectations and dreams have become even more demanding.
But the life-blood of the game at this level, writes Colin
Benson, remains the same as it has in the decades past. It is the
passion, the commitment and the participation of the fans that
generate the electric atmosphere that is the embodiment of the
drama that enfolds and sometimes explodes. For football is truly
the People's Game.
Someone once said that if you go to Highbury and don't meet a Cabinet Minister, a foreign diplomat or a film star you cannot have gone on a match day!
This was the image, the public concept, of Highbury outside of London in the 1930s when it was home to the most glamorous football club in the world. And so it has been for the Arsenal has remained one of the world's great football institutions whose supporters include the rich and famous as well as the lads brought up kicking a ball around in the back streets of Islington.
I remember once being sent down to the Drury Lane Theatre to meet and interview the great Tommy Steele in his dressing room before one of his shows. The subject of the discourse being his love and affection for his team - the Arsenal.
Of course the list of high-profile fans from former Heavyweight Champion Henry Cooper onwards is endless, but it is the thousands of ordinary folk who used to throng the terraces and now fill the stands shouting their allegiance to the team that is the vanguard of the Club's phenomenal history.
Joe Mercer, who finished his long and illustrious playing career at Arsenal, where he was acknowledged as one of the Club's great captains, told me of his love for the north London fans. Joe had spent most of his career as the stalwart of the famous Everton team but he said that Highbury was something special. The surroundings and the fans were worth a goal start on any visiting side and that no player could fail to do anything but their best in front of them.
A similar observation was made to me recently by Martin Keown, another Gunner who had a great affinity with the fans. Says Martin: "I was here as a schoolboy and my affection with the Club, with the stadium, started when I was 13 years of age. And when you came through the system the fans were fantastic really. They gave you great support and wanted to help you that little bit more.
"The Arsenal support is amazing. When I played here for the away team I found Highbury a place where you couldn't breathe. There was no space, no time, but playing for Arsenal as the home team you seemed to have so much space, so many options, so that was probably the key really. The way the ground is and the fans make it very difficult for people to come here and do well."
Mercer, who you would have thought with his spindly legs was incapable of kicking anything, was rated by Stanley Matthews as the hardest man in the game to pass. He was one of the great terrace heroes for not only was he a skilled technician, but he also shared a great empathy with those fans who idolised him, his warmth and friendly demeanour, both on and off the field, endearing him to all who made his acquaintance.
There will always be crowd favourites of course, and Arsenal can boast a rich legacy of players who have been held in such high esteem by the Highbury faithful. Among them the likes of Herbie Roberts, Alex James, Cliff Bastin, David Jack and Charlie Buchan. Eddie Hapgood, Ted Drake, Wilf Copping, John Radford, Frank McLintock, George Eastham and Joe Baker. George Armstrong, Liam Brady and Pat Rice. Tony Adams, David Rocastle, Ian Wright, David Seaman, Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry and of course the Dutchman who the fans have chosen to pay a special tribute to this afternoon - Dennis Bergkamp.
All of them are special names, special players and then there is Charlie George. Yes you don't have to stroll too far down memory lane to sense the euphoria in which Charlie was acclaimed and crowned as the King of the North Bank.
Charlie, who jumped from the terraces to stardom, never severed his ties with his Highbury roots and every time he scored he celebrated in the same fashion as he explains: "It was pretty straightforward at Highbury; I was probably a bit straight laced really. It was arms up to the North Bank where I stood as a kid. That was my signal to friends and family standing on the terraces.
"You shouldn't ignore the spectators for they are part and parcel of the Club. So celebrate when you have scored and show a bit of appreciation to them. When you score you mean it and it is for the supporters as much as the football club. That was my opinion anyway."
Talking of goals John Barnwell has never forgotten the raptures that followed when he scored twice here against Manchester United. Says Barney: "The noise from the West Stand to the East Stand made the hairs on the back of my head actually stand on end. That's the only time in my life that has actually happened."
Of course not all heroes are acclaimed because they were the greatest players and it takes an exceptional personality to receive the love-hate adulation afforded to Perry Groves.
Perry reflects: "I never scored great goals but scored a few important ones like the winner here against Tottenham in '88. It was with the left foot that I only used for standing on; and the winner against Man U, when we won 1-0. They become better goals because there was more on the game.
"Even when other people scored I used to go and celebrate on my own anyway. I would lose it for like 10-seconds and react like a fan would. I used to go to the crowd all the time because I wanted them to stop booing me!"
There is no substitute for talent and those blessed with exceptional skills will always be recognised. But no matter how brilliant the individual it is the fans who ultimately make him a star.
"Dennis Bergkamp will go down in Arsenal history as one of the greatest players who ever wore the red shirt." These are the words of the man who brought him to Highbury, Bruce Rioch who goes on. "Bergy was a wow when I signed him...and he's been a wow ever since."
Sentiments that the fans will truly endorse in their own unique way this afternoon.

Wednesday, August 1
By Steph Houghton
I don't actually know what's happening at the moment! I am as surprised as anybody else to be honest. The last week or so has just been amazing, absolutely unreal.
If somebody had told me before the tournament that I would score three times I would have told them they were having a laugh. It is obviously a huge bonus but the main thing is that we keep winning and going through this tournament.
Last night was unbelievable and it is just what every footballer dreams of. To play at Wembley in front of 70,000 people against Brazil, one of the best footballing countries in the world - and score in a 1-0 win - is something I don't think I could have written for myself. It's a dream come true.
Over the 90 minutes we had a little bit of pressure on us in the first half when Brazil were creating opportunities. But as a team we dug deep for 90 minutes, worked really hard and defended well. We were also dangerous on the counter. We were delighted with our performance and every game it seems to be getting better and better.
The dressing room was absolutely buzzing after the game, everybody was singing and dancing in the ice baths with the music on. All of us were thrilled but not one of us could believe it was actually happening. We know it was an historic night for us - a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go and play at Wembley. Everybody is so grateful for that.
Even when we were walking out on the pitch before the game it was just unreal. The atmosphere was just amazing and the national anthem was quite emotional. To hear that many people singing and knowing for a fact that they are all behind you is just one of those moments you will never forget. The girls can't thank the fans enough.
It is my most memorable night in football without a shadow of a doubt. I thought the New Zealand game would be the highlight of my career so far but yesterday just topped everything off. It was probably the best night of my life.
The fact that we had already qualified for the quarter-finals allowed us to enjoy ourselves even more. We knew there was no pressure on, so we just wanted to go out there and give a good performance for all the fans who came to watch. I think we did that, and it was a great night.

'What all this means is that the Sabres, already a relatively small team, will become even smaller and more vulnerable down the stretch and into the playoffs. Their offensive heart and soul, co-captains Daniel Briere and Chris Drury, are little guys. So is Derek Roy, a top-rank disturbance creator, as well as All-Star defenseman Brian Campbell. I suspect that the opposition's mantra will be "pound them – knock 'em to the ice at every opportunity – wear 'em down – it will pay off in the third period." This mantra is especially popular with Buffalo's three eastern Canadian rivals, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, who will meet the Sabres eight times between now and the playoffs.'

A man who smuggles celebrity viruses to ravenous fans gets infected with the same bug that killed a media darling, and becomes locked in a deadly race against time while also ending up being the target of biological collectors. Syd March (Caleb Landry Jones) works for the Lucas Clinic -- a company that reaps a tidy profit by infecting willing clients with viruses taken from their favorite celebrities. Earning a little extra cash on the side by using his own body to smuggle out popular microbes, Syd finds himself in mortal danger after he infects himself with a pathogen taken from Hannah Geist (Sarah Gadon) -- a gorgeous superstar who later dies as a result of her illness. Now, it's only a matter of time before Syd succumbs to a similarly gruesome fate. When Syd's shady clients and a rival company discover he's carrying a bug that could revolutionize the industry, he must fight back with the only weapon he has -- his own virulent blood. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I've had our showroom open for 2 months now and I've had some IKEA track lights displaying the costumes on mannequins. Well I've been wondering for a few weeks if my eyes were playing tricks on me because our zam didn't look quite right. I remember setting up the display room and thinking whew.. I'm lucky the lighting is perfect and displays the colors perfectly. Most lighting will make the costume look like a blue gumball so it's tough to get it right.
Well.... I finally decided to pick at the costume a bit, moved the chest armor and there is a huge line where the lighting was fading the leather dye and everywhere it was shadowed is still the original color. I might have caught it in time to save some of it but now I need to try and de-glaze the leather and re-airbrush and try to blend and touch it up..... AGHHHH!!!!
So I think the bulbs I have are probably UV rays ... I should have thought about it because I would never put the costume in a window where the sun could destroy it. It makes sense... it's probably the nice UV rays that give it it's true colors.
I totally believe in spending the money on a mannequin to display your expensive costume. It's both better than having it in a closet and also helps it keep its shape.
I don't have many pics but I do have one that was taken when the room was all finished.

Hello all, I am in the process of assembling an ESB Boba Fett, and wondered what peopl here thought of the RS Propmasters Boba Parts, especially their Helmet.
I have used RS for my Sandtrooper, and an ESB TK Lid, ANH Stunt TK Lid, and the Puggman blaster cast. SO I am used to dealing with them which is a plus.
I just was hoping a few folks here might have actually gotten their hands on one of the kits (or better yet one they built and painted) and could say yea or nay.

The Jimmy Dore Show april 6, 2012
The Jimmy Dore Show april 6,2012
This Week:
Steve Rosenfield reminds us all that it is Easter, and asks us to remember that we aren't all equal and our god is real and others gods are made up.
(Homo)Robo calls were unleashed in Wisconson to urge people to vote against "homosexuality" aka Mitt Romney, and for "Straight Marriage" and a "Straight Military" aka Rick "I'm always thinking about gay guys penis's" Santorum. We play the call and it does amuse us.
Larry Platt is the executive director of "Gun Owners of AMerica", so right off the bat you know this guy is "down-to-earth" and sensible. He has my favorite take on the Trayvon Martin case, are you ready for this? He says that Trayvon Martin was at fault because, and I swear I am not making this up, is was his responsibility to run away. Its just those kinds of mental gymnastics that keeps America winning the "death by guns" gold medal every year.
Bill Oreilley is angry about the Trayvon Martin case. No, he's not upset that a 17 year old black kid was gunned down for no reason. And no, he's not upset that, to this day, the killer has not been arrested or charged with a crime . What Bill is upset about is that the media is keeping the spotlight on this case! Yes, its funny that Bill never had time to be upset at any of the actually upsetting things about this case, but is outraged that others in the media keep reminding us that this horrible situation is still horrible.
Plus we play some tape from the Bill Orielly show where Geraldo Rivera was pointing out how Bill was exploiting a personal tragedy to make a cheap poitical point, you know, doing the exact thing Bill is pretending to hate about the Trayvon case. Bravo.
Martin Luther King's niece was a guest on FoxNews recently. And why wouldn't she go on fox? I mean, who else is going to
lend credibility to a bunch of race baiters besides the niece of a civil rights leader who was gunned down by a white racist? It is nice to see here take some time off from her usual crusade, turning women who are seeking abortions into criminals, to stop by foxnews and call Trayvon a "late abortion". Again, not kidding.

I read somewhere you have some KI Ligurians Phil-how do you find them?
Quote from: OzBuzz on May 21, 2010, 07:50:14 PMI read somewhere you have some KI Ligurians Phil-how do you find them? They seem more friendly than the caucasians. Less prone to attack if I take too long with the hive open.They didn't fill up the super as quick as the other hive, but they started off smaller. Besides the colour, I guess not alot.
I'm thinking about re-queeing a swarm that, hopefully, i will get in spring with a KI Ligurian and see how they go- i've heard they're good producers and quiet... albeit if they're anymore quiet than my current Italian X Carniolan hive they will probably be asleep!
I was thinking of doing the same with my caucs. I received them as an ex feral so I have no real certainty how old the queen is. She could be from last Sept as the bees turned very black after a few weeks. I really haven't decided yet.I went down to Redpaths last week to get some boxes to keep me busy over winter and they only had 2 left. Next shipment comes in in July. I'm using them for my vac collection boxes and have to pick up some more boxes elsewhere. I want to make sure I have plenty of supplies come spring for swarms and to extend my two existing hives upwards.I'm building some of those hinged frames for putting feral comb in at a cut out. Just interested to see how they compare.
Have you been able tos chedule that cut out down in Moorabbin yet?
hi very lucky down there talking to a bloke took his bees to the coast for the tee tree they are losing hives to the beetle.

I'm from Belgium but have been living in Argentina for over a year now. In December I quit my job and since that moment I've been on and off looking for a new job. Since my education isn't very useful in this respect I was thinking of becoming an English teacher. The last week I've been looking for courses and contacting different TEFL schools. I do however find it difficult to trust just a webpage and since the courses aren't that cheap I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
Does anyone know a good school in Buenos Aires? I can just find one with a CELTA certification and none with the Trinity TESOL certification.
Are there any other relevant certifications? I read a lot about the British Council but it isn't very clear to me what they exactly do. Unfortunately they didn't answer my email asking them for some guidance. On the pages of a school I saw something about 'ascentis'. Can this be trusted?
thanks to anyone helping me out here :-)


text: Found this at 82games. Detroit Pistons NBA stats and data from 82games.com Fair salary, actual salary. Some interesting stuff going on there. Looks like Ben was due a raise, and Tay/Billups remain terribly underpaid. It's astonishing that Joe is able to pay his starters so little. Looking at the bench, everyone was overpaid for their production (minutes excuses aside). What's shocking is how Dice is apparently so overpaid.

The Canisius baseball team broke open a 1-1 game with a six-run seventh inning and got a dominant starting pitching performance in a 10-1 win over Charlotte in the final game of the weekend series.
After five scoreless innings, the Griffs got on the board in the sixth inning. Back-to-back walks to junior Jesse Puscheck and senior Shane Zimmer put two runners on base, and junior Connor Panas came through with the RBI single to put Canisius ahead 1-0. Charlotte (2-2) struck right back with an RBI double in the bottom of the sixth.
Canisius (3-3) put together their best offensive inning of the weekend in the top of the seventh, sending 11 batters to the plate, scoring six runs on five hits and using two HBP and a walk to take control of the game. Seniors Jose Torralba and Ronnie Bernick led off with back-to-back singles and advanced into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt from junior Mike Krische. Senior Ryan Coppinger dropped down a bunt single to give the Griffs the 2-1 lead. Puscheck followed with an RBI single, and a sacrifice fly from Zimmer put the Griffs up by three runs.
Panas was hit by a pitch and sophomore Anthony Massicci walked to load the bases. Freshman Christ Conley became the third straight Golden Griffin to reach on a free pass, being hit by a pitch to force home a run. Torralba capped the scoring with a two-out, two-RBI single to give the Griffs the 7-1 advantage. The Griffs scored three unearned runs in the eighth, including RBI singles from Panas and Massicci.
That would be more than enough for junior Devon Stewart. The righty went seven innings, needing 69 pitches, allowed three hits and one run and struck out four to even his record at 1-1. Junior Eric Stolzenburg threw a career-long two innings of scoreless relief.
Panas went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI while also being hit by a pitch. Bernick matched his career high with three hits while Torralba was 2-for-4 with two RBI. Coppinger and Puscheck each scored two runs.
Canisius returns to the field for a three-game series at defending Atlantic Sun champion East Tennessee State. First pitch on Friday in Johnson City, Tenn. is set for 3 p.m.
Game Notes: Canisius defeated Charlotte for the first time in six all-time meetings… The Griffs batted around for the second time this season… The six-run seventh inning was the biggest inning of the season for Canisius… Prior to the sixth inning, Canisius was 3-for-24 (.125) in the series with runners in scoring position. The Griffs went 6-for-11 in the final four innings of Sunday's game… Stolzenburg has pitched at least 1.1 innings in both of appearances this season after only two appearances of that length in his first two seasons… Stewart threw at least seven innings for the 10th time in his career.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Darth Tater, Feb 16, 2009.
dohhhh no church at 4pm any day.... or on sat..... i need to learn to read
That was 4PM GMT. We're having the draft GMT -5. I'm assuming you are still in the UK. Oh geez, you're in Michigan. 11 AM Saturday Detroit time. I think I fubar'd that. lol
lol, don't worry my brother can't even keep track of which country I am in... I almost missed my nieces birthday party because he thought I was in scotland, nevermind we talk a couple of times a week online. I'm in the states and think (but can't be held to it... should be in the states till april) either way the time will work for me)
I wake up at 7 on Saturdays. I'll be good. I better start writing down who I want to draft depending on situations.
What you need to do is get your butt into our redistribution draft thread and pick your player! You've been on the clock for about 26 hours now!
That's ok. I'll let it slide.... this time. But stick around tonight. You'll probably be up again in a few hours.
I aye captain!
Laimbeer people, I'm waiting for you guys to yea or nay Sat @ 11:00 AM for the draft. It might not matter, but I want your feedback. Invites go out Sunday (one week late, good job roscoe :( )
Only so much a commissioner can do until all the feedback comes in. Anyhow, still lots of time.
So was the final decision 11AM (detroit time, eastern time, not-any other time zone time) on Saturday 21st? I'm good with that. Not that I'll change all of your minds at this point. Maybe a very early morning, hung-over state will do me good compared to other drafts I've completed. :dizzy2:
Anytime Saturday I am good. Weekdays aren't good for me, I usually have school and/or baseball practice.
Works for me.
That's awesome. Big thanks to Darth Idaho for the assistance. @Knowall, your drafting drunk will still be better than most of these guys. So the league is weekly, Draft is 11:00 am Eastern Saturday March 21
Great.....Since they are so lousy, maybe besides my regular 11:00 AM draft, I'll have a shot or two!!
Even though it will be 11 in Michigan , it will be happy hour somewhere. (Ireland of all places, lol)
its always happy hour in ireland....
Separate names with a comma.

Marist scored 11 goals in the second half to defeat the Canisius men's lacrosse team 13-5 at the Demske Sports Complex on Saturday night. The Golden Griffins fall to 1-6 oveall and 1-1 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
"We were successful in the first half with our game plan, and we knew they would make some adjustments but we couldn't adjust quickly enough and didn't perform in that second half," Canisius coach Randy Mearns said. "We have to battle when things aren't going our way in the second half, and I was disappointed in how the game ended.
"We all have to look ourselves in the mirror and change our play in the second half of games. It takes 60 minutes to win against quality opponents, and we have to learn that lesson."
Canisius scored the first two goals of the game just over three minutes into the contest. Freshman Vince Gravino tallied his first of three goals on the day off an assist from sophomore Tim Edwards. The Griffs went up 2-0 on an unassisted goal from sophomore Austin Romantic at the 11:48 mark. Marist would tie the game at 2-2 by scoring the next two goals before the Griffs reclaimed a two-goal lead. Gravino scored his second of the day late in the first quarter and senior Joe Rautenstrauch scored late in the second quarter off an assist from Gravino to take a 4-2 lead into the locker room.
Marist would score the next six goals, including three goals in the first four minutes of the third quarter. Joseph Radin tallied back-to-back goals and Connor Rice got his first of two goals to give Marist a 5-4 lead. The Red Foxes got a goal from Jack Doherty late in the third quarter and took a 6-4 lead into the fourth quarter.
The Red Foxes scored the first two goals of the third quarter to go up 8-4 before Gravino scored his third goal of the day to make it 8-5 with 11:39 left. Marist then scored the final five goals of the game to close out the scoring.
Sophomore Alex Govenettio made 10 saves in the loss for the Griffs while Dave Scarcello had 10 saves in the win for Marist.
Canisius returns to the field on Friday, when the Golden Griffins play at No. 4 Syracuse. Game time at the Carrier Dome is set for 7 p.m.

I can't see the connection with cous-cous, which in my eyes is very fine-grained, and has an entirely different flavour. This is more like gelatinous rice. It's easy to cook (I did so in a rice cooker) and tastes quite bland, which can be a good thing. If you don't like the semi-soft texture, you might want to cook it for the absolute minumum time.
