Discussion and help for TEFL teachers, from teacher-training to ELT management

'Lightning assistant coach Craig Ramsay, who spent 22 years with the Sabres as a player, coach and in the front office, said it would be a big blow to the city if the team were to ever leave. "With [Toronto] so close, they have such a natural rivalry,'' Ramsay said. "This is a good hockey city and so many people love the game around here. It would be sad if that were to ever happen.'''

The new congressional "super committee" meets today amid growing pressure from various quarters to look for ways to encourage economic growth while aiming well beyond its assigned goal of $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction.
Washington's debt limit law this summer created the 12-member panel, which is supposed to recommend proposals to Congress by late November. The panel held its first meeting last week, with opening statements in which lawmakers emphasized the importance and urgency of their assignment.
The Concord Coalition has urged the committee to take a comprehensive approach, building on the recommendations from the President's fiscal commission, the Bipartisan Policy Center's Debt Reduction Task Force, the Senate's "Gang of Six" and other bipartisan groups.
Others have also called for the panel to "go big" in its recommendations. Dozens of business executives, budget experts and former government officials, including the co-chairs of the President's fiscal commission, sounded this theme Monday in a letter to the super committee. Last week The Washington Post reported that more than two dozen senators from both parties met privately to discuss ways to support more aggressive deficit reduction.
At a super committee hearing today, CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf warned that if current policies remain in place in the years ahead, "the aging of the population and the rising cost of health care will boost federal spending, as a share of the economy, well above the amount of revenues that the federal government has collected in the past."
The committee may also be able to draw on testimony about tax reform before the House Budget Committee on Wednesday. Among those appearing before that panel will be Diane Lim Rogers, Concord's chief economist and a strong advocate of tax reforms that can both raise revenue and encourage economic growth.
The CBO on Monday estimated that the debt limit deal's automatic "trigger" cuts -- which would take effect if the super committee process fails -- would save $1.1 trillion over 10 years, down from the $1.2 trillion originally envisioned. The reasons: Some savings would be delayed beyond 2021, some cuts would result in more spending elsewhere, and debt service costs would be higher than previously estimated.

text: ELIZABETH, N.J. -- The NBA is about to act in hopes of stopping the floppers. Spokesman Tim Frank said Thursday the league is finalizing procedures to deal with flopping, the art of falling down when little or no contact was made in an effort to trick referees into calling a foul. Frank said the competition committee met two weeks ago and discussed plans that would go in place this season. Commissioner David Stern believes too many players are deceiving referees by flopping and has been seeking a way to properly penalize them. The procedures likely will involve a postgame review of the play by the league office, rather than an official calling an infraction during the game, Frank said. Players likely would be fined if the league determined they flopped. NBA finalizing procedures that will penalize players for flopping - ESPN

definitely one of the highlights of the Christmas season, here on ATC
Mike, you once said, " there are 800 random twinkling mini lights and about 2300 clear mini lights. I had to use 6 different electrical connections for the tree." Is that number still valid?
Those numbers have changed in recent years since I moved into the house and bought the 12' tree. Now there are 800 twinkling and 4500 clear mini lights. That number is going to increase on November 16th when I start on the tree.
Hello Mike my friend I'll get started about November 1 how about you?
'I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future!' Scrooge repeated, as he scrambled out of bed. 'The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. Oh, Jacob Marley! Heaven, and the Christmas Time be praised for this! I say it on my knees, old Jacob, on my knees!' (Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol)
Hi Papa, One of these days I hope that we will meet in person Actually I am going to be starting on November 16th. My wife is flying to London on November 15th and I am under strict orders to not start on any decorating until she leaves and I have to complete everything by November 30th upon her return and of course it has to be better than last year, No pressure at all

Blake Clemmons, MA, LPCA
Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
2124 Crown Centre Dr. Suite 400, Charlotte, NC 28, Charlotte, North Carolina 28227
My aim as an addictions counselor is to offer a compassionate and non judgmental environment where my clients feel free to learn and grow and experience healing. My perspective is to provide those struggling with addictions effective coping tools and skills and instill hope that will help them eliminate their addiction, improve their relationships and live in the freedom of long term sobriety. These skills include distraction, self soothing, understanding triggers to use, creating an action plan, increasing ones support group, and challenging the negative core permissive beliefs that allow the addiction to continue.

Tom Kundig, FAIA, describes his firm as one that values modernism but allows its different interpretations to be tested. "We're an anomaly in that we continue to nurture this whole idea of different strong voices that can emerge with their own DNA," he says. From museums and houses to academic and commercial buildings, Olson Kundig's work ranges widely in style, scope, cost, and complexity, and so does its imagination. Each project, though, shares an intuitive relationship to its surroundings and seeks to "affirm connections rather than differences."
Inspired by the Pacific Northwest's dramatic backdrop and its thriving crafts culture, Olson Kundig's houses, however modest or luxurious, move seamlessly among nature, art, and architecture. A fascination with the elemental qualities of materials and sunlight infuses all of the firm's work, from the sparkling and sophisticated, like the downtown loft that celebrates Seattle's skyline, to the tough-as-nails, like the Idaho outpost. Among its latest accolades is the American Institute of Architects' 2009 Firm of the Year award.
"Architects who have specific styles give clients a sense that they have to toe the line, but we don't approach problems that way," says principal Kirsten R. Murray, AIA. She adds, "The most gratifying thing is when you show up as a guest in a home you've designed and see that they've taken ownership of it, adding things you hadn't necessarily imagined. That it has a life of its own."
What is the most gratifying aspect of residential practice?
The clients and the landscapes, whether urban, suburban, or rural. There are so many variations and idiosyncrasies.
What is the most frustrating aspect?
When clients don't understand the limits imposed on a project, whether they're economic, structural, or code-related.
What is your mission statement or firm goal?
To do the best possible job on anything that comes our way.
What is the most indispensable tool in your office?
The people.
What software does your firm use?
We're actively changing to Revit. A Hawaii project drawn in Revit is being shipped to Hawaii on barges. It's a real pleasure to watch how everything works in that realm.
Who is your ideal client?
One who actively engages the process and trusts me to solve their program issues.
What is your favorite building?
The most meaningful experiences for me have been Chartres Cathedral, Le Corbusier's Notre Dame du Haut Ronchamp Chapel, the Therme Vals spa, and any of Carlo Scarpa's work.
If you didn't have the time to design your own house, who would you hire?
My immediate reaction was Glenn Murcutt, because even as a kid his work resonated with me. Since then, any number of people.

text: Officials in Lewiston are telling residents to be prepared for reduced and slowed city services on Election Day. City Clerk Kathy Montejo says the city uses many city employees to help work at the seven polling places to assist voters with election services on Tuesday. Those workers staff the polls from 7 a.m. through 8 p.m. and as a result, services in various city departments will be slower due to limited remaining staff coverage. She suggests that people needing to do business with the city wait until Wednesday when city departments are fully staffed again. For those who just can't wait. All city operations will be functioning, just with a smaller staff than usual. Residents with questions can call City Hall at 513-3000.

have fascinated people for thousands of years. Their attraction is a
tantalizing taste and aroma which, once experienced, can never be forgotten.
The taste and aroma of commercially collected truffles is so intense that they
are used as a flavoring instead of a separate dish. Magical powers and virtues
have even been attributed to truffles. They have been collected for at least
3600 years. Growing underground, they are difficult to find and very
expensive as a result. Every Spring, truffle hunters in Europe take to the
woods, hoping that the sensitive noses of their trained pigs and dogs will lead
them to buried treasure. In November, 2000, a new record of over $400 an
ounce was set an an auction of white truffles. At those prices, the average
two-ounce candy bar would cost you $800!
The name truffle has been borrowed to describe small, fancy chocolate candies, another expensive and delicious food. Real truffles are roundish, brown, and dirty when they come out of the ground. They are the fruit of the truffle organism, like apples are the fruit of an apple tree. Truffles contain spores for reproduction the way an apple contains apple seeds.
Many animals can easily reach fallen apples, and so spread their seeds by way of uneaten cores, or in dung. Since truffles are buried in the soil, truffles rely on partnerships (symbiosis) with certain animals for spore dispersal. Squirrels and chipmunks dig up truffles in the same way they may steal flower bulbs in your garden. They are the major wild animals dispersing truffle spores in North America.
Truffle-producing fungi have also formed symbioses with trees (mycorrhizae) because fungi cannot make their own food. The hyphae, or thread-like non- fruiting part of these fungi, coat the roots of the tree and help their host absorb soil minerals. In return, the tree host provides the fungus with carbohydrates and other nutrients, the product of the trees photosynthesis.
Attempts are being made to farm truffles due to the difficulty in finding them in the wild. The harvest has steadily decreased for the last 90 years, due to forest destruction and the killing of trees by air pollution. France produced 1,000 metric tonnes of truffles in 1892; now, only 50-90 tonnes are harvested each year.

It's an excellent discussion. Personally I'm more convinced by the first explanation, compared to the common understanding of "Don't drink alcohol at all, no matter how small, whether you derive sensory pleasure from it or not, whether you are attached to it or not".
SarathW wrote:I just listened to a Dhamma talk by Sri Lankan Buddhist monk (in Sinhalese Language). He said drinking alcohol and eating meat is not an unwholesome activity. He said that he does not say drinking alcohol is good.
Throughout the surmon he never mentioned that alchol lead to headlessnes.
The question I have is.
a) Where does drinking alcohol is fitting in Noble Eightfold Path
b) Did Buddha proclaim the Five Precepts and which Sutta do you find it?
clw_uk wrote:That can depend on the person. When I have one glass of wine I get a taste for it and end up getting drunk, so I can't just have one and have to not drink at all if I want to practice.

By Declan Taylor
Arsène Wenger believes that Nicklas Bendtner might not be the only beneficiary of Emmanuel Adebayor's three-week absence.
The Togolese frontman was stretchered off after 38 minutes of Arsenal's goalless draw with Tottenham last Sunday leading many to assume that Bendtner will fill the void in the coming matches.
However, Wenger has hinted that it might not be that straightforward, with the likes of Carlos Vela, Eduardo and even Andrey Arshavin (ineligible for Monday) all pushing for starting places.
Speaking ahead of Arsenal's FA Cup replay with Cardiff, the manager was tight-lipped about his selection policy, insisting that the Dane is one of a number of players who could feature in Adebayor's absence.
"It is not completely decided who will play yet because we have many possibilities we can try," said Wenger. "At the moment it is very open.
"It's not only [an opportunity] for Nicklas Bendtner. I believe he has had plenty of opportunities this year; if you look at the number of games he has started you will be surprised."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Ford Flex Recall 13V227000
Potential Fuel Leak
A fuel leak may develop from the fuel tank area.
Ford will begin notifying owners of the affected vehicles on July 15, 2013. If you notice an abnormal fuel smell or leakage, do not drive your vehicle and contact your dealer for further instruction. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call. The Ford recall number is 13S04.
The fuel delivery module, which is located at the fuel tank, can crack, resulting in a fuel leak. Any fuel leak always increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module in the affected vehicles to correct this concern.
May 31, 2013
Ford is recalling certain model year 2013 Explorer, Taurus, Flex, Fusion, Police Interceptor Sedan and Police Interceptor Utility vehicles; and certain model year 2013 Lincoln MKS, MKT, and MKZ vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the fuel delivery module may develop a crack, allowing fuel to leak.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel delivery module, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on July 15, 2013. Owners may contact Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's recall campaign number is 13S04.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Yeah the .308 mag deal would work if you use the 100 grain bullets. Anything larger and you'd have to seat the bullet back farther into the case. Doable but not ideal.
THe mag length on those 7.5mm mags is more than adequate for the longest rounds. You could open up the throat and really do some work with it! For the cost, and the willingness to do a little tweaking on them, they are IMO the best mag for any of the straight-walled wildcats, etc. just so you use a PSL-length receiver. Now in a standard-length mag I would think a .30-06 mag conversion would be possible and that would give you the room for longer rounds like the 6.5x55. The receiver conversion steps are a known factor so if you can find some -06 mags of some sort (BAR mags perhaps?) then you would be able to use a standard-length stock or do the Saiga .308 conversion with no problems.
Edit - I found "brand new manufacture" BAR mags at OhioOrdnanceWorks.com for $25 each, so that is definitely doable!
I range tested the new Hornady A-Max ballistic tip bullets of different weights at the range and they all function fine. I see why my dad likes the 100 gr rounds, they are as fast as the 140gr at 2900 FPS and should be big enough for anything I'd ever encounter in N. America.

Customer Reviews
The bags have arrived. Thank you so much. They look amazing and I know that all the guests will be most appreciative of such a lovely room gift. Again, many thanks for all your help.
The slip case I ordered for my phone is of exceptional quality. Almost a year later and the fine grain leather, stitching and soft inner lining are all standing the test of time and wear remarkably well, I expect it to do so for longer than I will likely keep the phone. I always have an keen eye for a good buy, by that I don't necessarily mean a low price. An item in everyday use that is a pleasure to handle and use satisfies me far more than reminiscing that I saved a little money at the time of purchase. The only criticisms, minor though they are: a/ I wasn't expecting LUCRIN in silver across the black leather and would have preferred it plain, maybe this was an option I didn't spot? Whilst advertising your name is maybe important I think word of mouth is far more relevant. b/ I took a small hole punch to the case to make the speaker/ringer more audible. Rest assured that when I next replace my mobile phone I will be returning for a new case.
Add a review
I was extremely happy with your service. I felt very attended to and am more than happy with the finished product ordered. Best, Marych O'Sullivan-Sanford

Junior Rohn Pierce threw a three-hit shutout on 87 pitches as the Canisius baseball team won its third straight game with a 2-0 win over East Tennessee State on Saturday afternoon.
Pierce (2-0) retired the first 10 batters he faced, not allowing a hit until the fourth. The Lockport, N.Y. native quickly erased that baserunner with a double play. East Tennessee State (5-5) had a one-out single in the fifth and led off the sixth with a bunt single, but Pierce allowed only one baserunner to get to second base on the entire day. Pierce retired the final 12 batters of the game for his first career shutout and first nine-inning shutout by a Golden Griffin since Garrett Cortright on March 15, 2013, at Ohio.
The Griffs had runners on base in eight of the nine innings but could never put together a big inning. Canisius loaded the bases with two outs in the first inning and also had two runners on base in the second but failed to capitalize. The Griffs went 3-for-18 with runners on base in the game.
Canisius (5-3) scored both of its runs in the third inning as junior Jesse Puscheck and senior Jimmy Luppens led off with back-to-back doubles to get the Griffs on the board. Sophomore Brett Siddall then used a one-out double to score Luppens and make it 2-0.
Canisius had eight hits, three walks and one HBP in the game but left 12 runners on base. Luppens and Puscheck each had two hits and a walk while sophomore Anthony Massicci had two walks out of the leadoff spot in the lineup.
The Griffs and Bucs wrap up the series on Sunday, with first pitch set for 1 p.m.

Posted by Steve
First things first. I am still alive, and I still like baseball. I thought that might need to be said, given the huge time lapse since my last post.
It's no excuse, but I have in fact been pretty busy. I had been meaning to post after the Brewers were officially eliminated, and again when the Cardinals lost (at least we have that). I have also been meaning to post off-season stuff. This is perhaps my favorite time to write about the Brewers, and I have no one to blame but myself for missing out on it.
Still, I can get this one in before the Winter Meetings really get underway. This year they're in Nashville, at the Grand Opryland Hotel. The last time the meetings took place there, I was in attendance. Seems like forever ago, but fun memories nonetheless. I look forward to all the tweets and articles about how massive and over-the-top that place is (edit: This one from two minutes ago from Jay Jaffe).
Anywho. Let's get to it, shall we? There's plenty to talk about, especially since I haven't posted in so long. Let's look at each area and figure out where the Brewers should be looking to improve for next season. Before we do, let's keep something in mind: The Brewers' payroll is going to drop this year, possibly considerably. That means no top-tier free agents.
Starting Rotation
A year ago we were discussing how the Brewers would return all five starters to the rotation from the year before, a rarity in baseball. This year is almost as rare on the opposite end of the spectrum: Most likely the only starter returning from the Opening Day 2012 rotation is Yovani Gallardo. Greinke, Marcum and Wolf will all be with other teams (or maybe retired, in Wolf's case?). Narveson I suppose could be back, but I highly doubt the Brewers currently view him as a lock for the starting rotation in April.
After Gallardo, there are plenty of names in the mix. Narveson, Marco Estrada, Wily Peralta, Mark Rogers, Mike Fiers, Tyler Thornburg, and maybe even Taylor Jungmann, Hiram Burgos, Johnny Hellweg, or Ariel Pena.
That's a pretty nice collection of young arms, certainly better than the Brewers have had in a handful of years. But does that mean they should be satisfied going with Yo and then four of those guys who stick after being thrown against the wall?
Not if they want to contend. They need to add one established, 2/3 type starting pitcher. The Brewers have made big trades to acquire pitchers in the past with pretty solid luck, and they have made free agent signings with less luck (Wolf was solid enough until his last season). Still, I am taking a bit of an unusual stance here, considering I normally want to stay away from big free agent deals. I would rather the Brewers sign a free agent than trade for one, mainly because I don't want them to keep dipping into the farm system. There are actually plenty of solid starters available this season.
Zack Greinke is the main prize, but that ship has long sailed. The Dodgers seem prepared to offer him eleventy billion dollars. Anibal Sanchez is probably number two, but I imagine he'll be priced out of the Brewers' range as well. The Brewers have been mentioned as potential suitors for Kyle Lohse (STAY AWAY) and Ryan Dempster. Given Dempster's age, I'd only be open to it if it's a two-year deal at most, and even then, I wouldn't be thrilled. Here are some other starters I'd like to see them pursue:
Dan Haren
He's long been one of my favorite pitchers. While his strikeout rate has declined each of the last four seasons, one thing has kept him as an above average starter: His crazy low walk totals. Last year was his worst season in years, but he still had an xFIP of 4.00 because of his great command.
The question with Haren is health. His velocity has come down, he's into his 30s, and both the Angels and Cubs have balked at bringing him in for what is essentially a one-year, $12 million deal. He seems like a good bounceback target, but I also sort of expect him to stay near the West Coast.
Brandon McCarthy
Here's another one of my favorites, half for his solid pitching/low walk totals, half for his awesome sense of humor, twitter account and taste in television shows. He sounds like he's a full go to return from the scary line drive he took off his head. I would have no qualms about giving him a two-year deal. He was good last season and phenomenal in 2011. Given Haren's health question marks, I actually think I'd rank McCarthy at the top of my wishlist for starting pitchers attainable for the Brewers.
Edwin Jackson
A very different pitcher than Haren or McCarthy, Jackson doesn't have the tiny walk rate (although it's much better than earlier in his career). What makes him a solid option is his solid K and home run rates along with his durability: He's thrown over 183 innings each of the last five years. He's never gotten a multi-year deal, but he's an above average starting pitcher who I would be fine giving a two-year deal.
Joe Blanton
A very unexciting option, but he would provide stability. He is a durable pitcher with a nice low walk rate, although he doesn't get many whiffs at all. He likely shouldn't be too expensive, and might only warrant a one-year deal.
Joe Saunders
We're getting progressively less exciting, as Saunders is more or less a left-handed Blanton, maybe a bit worse. But again, he's a durable pitcher who won't break the bank.
And finally, two familiar faces.
Shaun Marcum
Yes, his health is a question mark, but there's little doubt that when he's healthy, he's a good pitcher. Last year his walks were up, which brought him back to around league average, but he would be a good option that could possibly be had on just a one-year deal.
Carlos Villanueva
The numbers weren't great last year, but xFIP liked him. He'd be a decent bet to give league average numbers. Certainly not exciting, but also not expensive in the least.
Other Options: Kevin Correia, Kevin Millwood, Erick Bedard.
I'd be surprised if the Brewers didn't land one of those starting pitchers listed above. In terms of likelihood, I'd rank them: Dempster, Marcum, Blanton, Lohse (ugh), McCarthy, Saunders.
BullpenThis is obviously a glaring need after last season. The transformation is already underway. Jose Veras, Manny Parra and Kameron Loe are already gone. The only guys who should feel safe at this point are John Axford and probably Jim Henderson. The Brewers just picked up groundballing specialist Burke Badenhop in a trade a couple days ago, who is a decent option at an affordable price.
They need to get at least one solid LOOGY, and they've been rumored to be in contact with Randy Choate, Sean Burnett, Mike Gonzalez and Tom Gorzelanny. Any of those would fit.
My preference on relievers is the same: short-term deals, absolutely no more than two years unless it's someone who's very good. Other names who interest me: Mike Adams, Jason Grilli, Koji Uehara, Kyle Farnsworth, Chad Durbin, and LaTroy Hawkins. Most of these guys could be had for one-year deals. They can fill in the rest of the spots with the Brandon Kintzlers and Mike McClendons of the world, along with a couple of the young pitchers who don't make the rotation.
Honestly, the Brewers are set here. Nyjer Morgan is gone, but with Ryan Braun, Carlos Gomez, Corey Hart, Nori Aoki, Logan Schaefer and depending on what they do with him, Mat Gamel, the Brewers are just fine. They had a very productive outfield last year, and it's the one area they don't need to spend much time on this off-season.
So then why do we keep hearing about Josh Hamilton?
It makes zero sense. The Brewers have talked about wanting to keep their payroll down, and about not wanting long-term free agent contracts. They also don't have a need anywhere in the outfield. How does Josh Hamilton fit anywhere into that? Yet, we keep hearing that the Brewers are interested. Even today there's rumblings about it from Ken Rosenthal.
Signing Josh Hamilton to a large deal does not even accomplish much. They have a much bigger need in the rotation, and then they'd have to trade Corey Hart more than likely. So then you've pretty much just gone in circles.
I just want Hamilton to sign somewhere so I don't have to keep hearing rumors about him with the Brewers.
The starting positions are set, assuming Corey Hart stays at first base. If they don't, I suppose Mat Gamel would be the other option (if he doesn't get traded). The one need they have right now is a backup at middle infield. I refuse to be forced to watch several hundred Cody Ransom/Cesar Izturis/Edwin Maysonet plate appearances this season. With Jean Segura being so young, and with Rickie Weeks' durability issues the last few seasons, a backup SS/2B is a big need.
Unfortunately, there isn't much there. Unless someone like Alex Gonzalez or Marco Scutaro is willing to sign as a backup, the best MI options would be Ronny Cedeno, Jason Bartlett, or… ? This might have to come through a trade. It could be a difficult spot to fill.
Final WishlistSo, this off-season, my wishlist for the Brewers includes: One starting pitcher, two more relievers, and a solid middle infielder. That's doable, right?

UPDATE: Annual reports filed with the IURC in March 2017 are available through the following links:
Tree trimming and vegetation management practices of Indiana's electric utilities were the focus of an Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) investigation and rulemaking proceeding that started in April 2009 and concluded in 2012.
The Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) appeared and participated in all hearings on behalf of the public - which includes all Indiana residential, commercial and industrial utility consumers. The investigation included evidentiary hearings in Indianapolis and 6 public field hearings throughout the state. The rulemaking proceeding included an additional public hearing and several technical conferences among interested parties.
The IURC started its formal investigation (Cause No. 43663) of electric utility tree trimming practices and tariffs on April 1, 2009.
The Commission's November 30, 2010 order concluding the investigation (111 pages) and its July 7, 2011 order on reconsideration (4 pages) established a number of safeguards for consumers and property owners.
The November 30, 2010 order also established a rulemaking proceeding (Rulemaking No. 10-04) to address issues including customer education, advance notification, possible tree replacement and dispute resolution. The final rule received Commission approval on August 29, 2012 and formally went into effect on October 27, 2012.
To review the complete IURC public file in the tree trimming investigation, please click here and enter cause number 43663. To review documents and public comments in the rulemaking proceeding, please click here.
Under the final rule, the five investor-owned electric utilities in Indiana are required to:
The rule reiterates that disputes over monetary damages can only be resolved by a civil court.
The new rule also defines "brush" as "vegetation with stems less than 6 inches diameter at breast height" and exempts brush from the rule's standards. In other words, utilities may trim or remove brush without advance notice.
The standards established in the investigation and rulemaking apply to Duke Energy, Indiana Michigan Power (I&M), Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL), Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) and Vectren. They do not apply to REMCs or municipal electric utilities.
The following links offer information on the tree trimming and line clearing policies of investor-owned Indiana electric utilities, along with customer tips:

Also out testing this week is what appears to be the next-generation A6 allroad. The mule is so heavily camouflaged unlike the shot of the one testing in South America several weeks ago, one might have mistaken it for an A6... but my camouflage an A6 Avant when that's already been seen? The answer of course is that this is an allroad. We've compared these new shots with the original rear shot (also in our photo gallery linked below) and this latest test mule appears to be consistent with that car.
Alas, Avant fans in America already know that the A6 Avant is not planned for US consumption and as such, allroad versions like this simply won't be coming over to the States. That's not to say there won't be any allroads though as Audi executives have been hinting for a while that the A4 Avant will switch to allroad versions only after the next facelift debuts sometime in the next year.
Check out more photos of the A6 allroad mule after the jump.

"I got the upgraded thick paper and rounded edges. Great paper quality and design. Tiny Prints mailed the invitations as well. They exceeded my expectations in every aspect! Guests received invitations 5 days earlier than promised by TP. Thanks!"
"Very happy with this product. I was initially concerned with paper quality with ordering over the internet since I could not view in person. However, paper quality was great, colors were vibrant, print well done. In person, looked exactly like image show on screen. Would order through this company again."
"The customer service was wonderful, extremely helpful. I was able to add text to an already standard card. The quality of the card was perfect. The shipping was faster than expected, I received them 3 days ahead of schedule. The recipients thought the cards were beautiful and I will certainly use Tiny Prints for all future printing."
"I thought the quality of the paper and the printing were very good. Since there were no response cards, I used the business simple response cards and they were able to make the printing the same blue as the invites at no extra charge."
"I am very pleased with this invitation. It's a nice combination of traditional and contemporary. I followed the product example and just changed the names. The only things I'd have done differently are to make the type styles a bit larger, and to add our last name at the bottom."

I found this on the Utah Hunting Forum Site
From my DU Magazine subscription
6 appetizer servings
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Marinade Time: 1 – 4 hours
Cooking Time: Less than 10 minutes
6 – 8 skinless duck breast fillet halves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
10 - 12 cloves fresh garlic, minced
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions 1. Slice duck fillets across the "grain" of the meat into 3/4-inch thick strips.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients (except skewers). Add sliced duck to bowl, toss to coat evenly, cover and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours. Turning occasionally.
3. Remove meat from marinade and drain, but do not pay dry. Place skewers into meat and grill to desired doneness over a well-oiled, medium-hot grill. For medium-rare, cooking time is approximately 3 – 4 minutes.
I tried it out and it was awesome!

Download Historically, communication service providers (CSPs) have viewed network transformation through the narrow lens of technology, as though it were a simple matter of upgrading equipment. But in reality, the solution is much more complex. To ensure a smooth transition to an all-IP network, it's essential for each area of the business (IT, marketing and operations) to work together and consistently communicate throughout the journey.


text: Delfino took the 3 coming out from a timeout if i'm not mistaken. He missed and it lead to a 3 point play by Nash and it pretty much close out the game. Did i mention timeout? Is it a play that was drawn out by the coach? From the play, it was not. There were no plays drawn out for that possession. Coming out from a timeout, it should have a better drawn play. I put this loss on the coach.

Arsène Wenger has confirmed that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be the Arsenal squad to face Norwich City despite England's travails in Poland this week.
Oxlade-Chamberlain and his international team-mates had to wait until Wednesday to play their World Cup qualifier in Poland after Tuesday's fixture was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
England's below-par display in Warsaw was partly explained by sleeping difficulties following the cancellation but Wenger is not concerned about Oxlade-Chamberlain, who came off the bench for the final 17 minutes of his country's 1-1 draw.
"He will be in the squad for the weekend," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"It's not easy to deal with that [kind of delay]. When you prepare for a game, it's a disappointment not to play. Then you always have problems to sleep and the next day you have to get ready again.
"In France, it was usual like that when we played. When we couldn't play a game because of bad weather, and that happened sometimes in the south of France, you played always the next day. It's never easy to deal with that but it's the same conditions for both teams."

ESPN's Fran Fraschilla Talks Alec Brown, Horizon League
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – During his time as a college counselor at the 2013 adidas Nations Basketball Experience, Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) had the chance to work alongside a number of coaches with experience at both the college and professional levels. Among those coaches was longtime college head coach and current ESPN basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla. Kyle Binder of the Horizon League Network recently spoke with Fraschilla, who shared a number of thoughts on Brown, the Green Bay men's basketball program and the Horizon League.
Fran Fraschilla
On how long he has been following Alec Brown:
"I started following him as a freshman and sophomore because although he hasn't always been a national name, there are always guys like him that are playing at the mid-major level that don't get the attention and hype that maybe a guy in the Big Ten or ACC would get. I have always been partial to guys that seemingly come out of nowhere, but now going into his senior year he has become a well-known player, particularly in the minds of NBA scouts that have been following him the last couple of years because of his size and ability to score the ball."
On what makes Alec stick out:
"The thing that really impressed me last week at adidas Nations and a number of NBA scouts was his range. For a guy that is seven feet tall and maybe a little bit taller, he shoots the NBA three like it is a foul shot. He has great range and he was very impressive at the camp with his range. I think NBA teams are now looking for the big man that can stretch the floor with their shooting, whether it is at the power forward spot or the center spot. Alec definitely is on people's radars, and I think it bodes well not only for his future but I think coming into the season for Green Bay with four of their top-five scorers coming back from a team that won 18 games. It bodes well for the program in general."
On the 2013-14 Green Bay men's basketball team:
"I think [Green Bay is] dangerous obviously. They have been a team that has been knocking on the door a little bit under Brian Wardle…Brian now has been at Green Bay long enough where he has been able to put his program in place. As you mentioned with a guy like Keifer Sykes in the backcourt…and you talk about guys like Jordan Fouse, Greg Mays and guys like that it is going to really help them."
On the Horizon League and the NBA:
"Right off the bat you have to talk about Alec because he really is on people's radars. I think what you love about the NBA right now is it doesn't matter where you play, they will find you. When you think of Damian Lilliard the rookie of the year this year from Weber State, Steph Curry from Davidson, Ray [McCallum from Detroit. What is fun for me is to see those guys like the Norris Coles [Cleveland State], the Ray McCallums and the Alec Browns…it is fun to see those guys be really, really good at what they do and not necessarily have played at UCLA or Duke. Being a mid-major guy as I was for so long, I keep a close eye on the Horizon League and some of their young players and certainly the coaches."

Primary sclerosing cholangitis is often diagnosed before symptoms appear when a routine blood test or an X-ray taken for an unrelated condition shows liver abnormalities.
Early symptoms often include:
Many people diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis before they have symptoms continue to feel generally well for several years, but there's no reliable way to predict how quickly or slowly the disease will progress for any individual. Signs and symptoms that may appear as the disease progresses include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have severe, unexplained itching on much of your body — itching that persists no matter how much you scratch. Also see your doctor if you feel extremely tired all the time, no matter what you do.
It's particularly important to bring unexplained fatigue and itching to your doctor's attention if you have ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, both of which are types of inflammatory bowel disease. A majority of people with primary sclerosing cholangitis also have one of these diseases.

The Canisius women's soccer team (1-2-0) got its first win of the season on Wednesday night, as the Golden Griffins defeated the Roberts Wesleyan Redhawks, 1-0 in a thrilling double overtime game at the Demske Sports Complex.
Sophomore Kathleen Lawver scored the game-winner in the second overtime on an assist from senior Jenny Piaggione. Lawver was able to take a crossing feed from Piaggione in the box and kicked the ball past Roberts Wesleyan goalkeeper Marissa Sell.
Canisius out shot the Redhawks by a final tally of 34–4, limiting the visiting team to two shots in the first half. With her nine shots in this game, senior Mallory Illsley increased her season total to 19. Senior Brigid St. Leger got her third start of the season and recorded her third career victory.
"We've been working real hard the last couple of days and we have been stressing effort," said Canisius head coach Jim Wendling. "I thought we had a much better effort tonight and it resulted in a win. A win like this is rewarding and hopefully we will be able to keep the momentum going as we prepare to take on St. Bonaventure."
The Griffs will play next against long-time rival St. Bonaventure on Sun. Aug. 31, with the game set to begin at 1 p.m in Olean, N.Y.
Game Notes: This was the second meeting with Roberts Wesleyan with the first game being played during the 1983 season…. Canisius is now 4-1 in its last five home openers…. The 34 shots for Canisius are the most for the Griffs since the team had 28 in a win over Saint Peter's Oct. 12, 2012…. This is the first career shut out for St. Leger….. The goal for Lawver was the second of her career and it is the first time she's scored a game-winner…. Piaggione picked up her fourth career assist in the win for the Blue and Gold.

Kelsey and Justin were married in a traditional church ceremony at St. John the Evangelist Catholic in Warren, Va. followed by a reception at Morais Vineyards and Winery in Bealeton, Va. on October 26. "We knew we wanted to have a big wedding with a small feel, so finding a quaint Virginia winery with a room to fill our 200+ guest list was a challenge," Kelsey said. "We ended up with about 165 and it was a perfect fit." The bride wore a strapless lace fit 'n' flare wedding gown, accessorized with her hair half-up/half-down in loose curls, while her 'maids donned taupe chiffon floor-length halter dresses and carried bouquets of garden roses, succulents, and berries. The groom wore a black three-piece suit, accessorized with a striped tie. "After not seeing my husband all day and overcoming and almost dress fiasco that caused me to be 15 minutes late to our ceremony, I could not wait to walk down the aisle," she said. Guests were escorted to their seats with mason jars. A chalkboard sign displayed, "Bring your jar to your seat and we'll bring you something good to eat. Tables were surrounded by gold chiavari chairs, covered in neutral linens and napkins, and decorated with glass centerpieces and wooden numbers. Following dinner and dancing, a three-tiered buttercream frosted cake was served. The newlyweds' best advice for engaged couples, who will soon tie the knot? "Just do what feels right to you and don't stress out trying to out-do the person before you," Kelsey said. "Every wedding is perfectly unique."

Bees reduce moisture that it will not ferment in store. Yeasts are not able to use condensed sugar. Water reducing needs high temp in the hive and so needs wax work too. In winter cluster hive temp is 10C less. When bees uncap honey/sugar during winter, it takes water from air and sugar dilutes. So bees get drinking water in their food.If sugar is too moist to uncap in autumn, it will be fermented and it swells from combs. Even big hive will die during winter when it try to lick fermented sugar on combs. You will se in winter how uncapped sugar swells from edge frames. It goes to bottom, and that is why you need put hives a little bit forward slanting.

Use of mother's milk banks, milk-sharing skyrockets
This time last year, Mother's Milk Bank in San Jose may have been able to send a month's worth of donated breast milk to hospitals in Alaska or Hawaii in a single shipment. Now many of those same hospitals can only get their milk by the week.
"We're just struggling to keep up," said executive director Pauline Sakamoto. "Our freezers are empty, but the demand is skyrocketing. It's just exponentially growing, so it's imperative for us to find more milk."
From hospital milk banks to pages on Facebook, more new moms are using another mother's donated breast milk to feed their babies. About 2.18 million ounces of breast milk were distributed through the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA) in 2011, said Sakamoto, a member and spokeswoman. That's up from 1.5 million ounces in 2009 and 1.8 million ounces in 2010, she said.
PHOTOS: Milk banks gain in popularity
Sakamoto said the numbers are up because more hospitals are using donor milk for pre-term infants. She also said donor milk goes to mothers with delayed lactation who use donor milk to tide them over until Mom is ready.
The San Jose facility is one of 12 milk banks affiliated with HMBANA, which also has presence in cities including Denver, Indianapolis, Boston, Iowa City, Kalamazoo, Mich., Raleigh, N.C., and Fort Worth and Austin.
The latest to join is St. Luke's Heart of America Mothers' Milk Bank in Kansas City, Mo., which opened its doors in May and became affiliated with HMBANA on Aug. 10, said Dr. Barbara Carr, a neonatologist with St Luke's.
"We have about 10,000 ounces in our freezer now that needs to be processed," Carr said. "This is going to the most fragile babies that are born."
Additional banks are planned for Orlando, Portland, Ore., and Missoula, Mont. Another milk bank to serve both Wisconsin and Illinois is also coming, though a city hasn't been picked yet, Sakamoto said.
Hospital donor milk is meant to supplement a baby's nourishment until some other feeding source can be arranged, so that the child will continue to grow, Sakamoto says.
Getting milk from a milk bank requires a prescription from a doctor. A pediatric ICU unit will order the milk, and it's sent overnight by mail, arriving frozen, Sakamoto said. Donor milk is screened for bacteria and viruses and then pasteurized.
That medical scrutiny is the reason that the milk from banks is not free.
Milk banks charge $3 to $5 per ounce, and that pricing is based on blood testing of donor moms, screening of the donated milk for bacteria and milk pasteurization, according to Sakamoto.
Sakamoto also noted that alongside the growth in the organized non-profit milk banking industry, there's also been more visible growth casual milk sharing.
Casual milk sharing is geared for women who can't produce enough milk for their full-term babies, while hospital milk banks are often dealing with sick and premature infants, said Emma Kwasnica, a self-described breastfeeding activist from Vancouver.
Kwasnica, 34, is the founder of Human Milk 4 Human Babies, a network of milk-sharing moms connecting exclusively through Facebook. She started in November 2010 under the name Eats on Feets but in March 2011 changed the name to make it more recognizable globally.
At first, Kwasnica matched moms who came to her, asking for milk or offering to share. After making about 20 matches, she decided to start setting up localized Facebook pages in her area.
"It just took off," she said. "All these women locally came forward and said, I'll run the page."
Now, 350 women are overseeing more than 120 individual Facebook pages for every U.S. state and 52 countries. She says they're not a formal organization, but a platform for moms to connect. Because women do not report back, they don't have hard numbers on donations. Also, no money can exchange hands between moms.
"You can find a mom within a few miles of home," said Kwasnica, a mother of three young girls. "It's very different than the anonymity of sharing milk online and shipping it out. … They're meeting at play groups and they're handing over a cooler of frozen breast milk."
Kwasnica said there are some risks to milk sharing that are not present in the more clinical hospital milk banking industry.
"But it's relative risk," she said. "How much risk is there when there's a woman down the road from you who you know, her children play with your children, you've been to her home? For many women, it seems safer to get to know a mom and use her milk."
Sakamoto says there is no rivalry between milk-sharing moms and formal milk banking, and that women have milk-shared "from the earliest of ages."
Still, she did say that today's informal milk-sharing moms should be aware of possible disease transmission, as well as potential legal risks.
"Before, with casual sharing, you knew the woman," Sakamoto said. "She might be a sister, or somebody you knew really well. In the age of the Internet, you only know then by what you read on the computer."

"They had a half off sale, so the price was worth it (when sending out Thank you cards or invitations to family). I really like how they turned out - beautiful design."
"I ordered these to try out TinyPrints.com for the first time. The site was easy to use and I was pleased with the amount of choices and styles available. I received these at my front door- awesome! I just love these! They are just so gorgeous!"
"Absolutely beautiful invite for our baby girl brunch! I was so pleased that they turned out so well. I would purchase again in a heartbeat."
"I ordered these labels one night, with a coupon, and TinyPrints delivered them so quickly! I personalized the product with my name and address and plan on using them on letters to friends and family for a cute organized look. The quality of the paper was excellent. The printing was maybe just a tiny bit blotted in some spots (ink on the address looked a little missing in some places) but nothing so distracting that I wouldn't recommend it to people! I think they look beautiful and I can't wait to use them, thank you!"
"Once again I am using something intended for one thing to do another ! Tinyprints printed these stickers with my daughter-in-laws baby registry information instead of an address and they will go on the back of the shower invites. So cute and I love the way that they match the invitation ! Thanks to tinyprints design staff everything fit perfectly !"

Hi there
I think I've got a job teaching children in a primary school in Spain, I'm waiting to hear for sure, but I've very litle experience and wanted to ask a couple of questions. I'm CELTA qualified and have been a teaching assistant in a primary school in Spain since March so have some experience in the environment but not as the teacher... I'd really like to read some good teacher training books (I won't have time to do a course) and have seen the following books on Amazon and was wondering if you know/recommend them or can recommend any other books.Thanks in advance, Susan.
1) Teaching Children English: An Activity Based Training Course (Cambridge Teacher Training & Development S.) by David Vale and Anne Feunteun
2) Teaching English in the Primary Classroom by Susan Halliwell

I was cleaning out some suff earlier today and came across and older project which I had not finished (among the many others :rolleyes) For some remember I was making a set of chest armor for paintball, I got up to making a vest, but I grew a bit after its completion, so It didnt fit.
ANYWAYS...I had used that "industrial strength" velcro you see at craft stores and such. The armor and everything stuck fine, and I thought It was holding good. I picked it up today, I left it sitting in a corner of my room, and I notcied that the armor pieces had slide down out of place, and the velcro left a trail like a snail. This glue gunk stuff is NASTY! Got some on my favorite shirt and sticks to anything.
I am merely warning anyone, cause I never subjected the vest to any heat or what not, and this spontaneously happend. So for now on, I think that I would stilck with the snap method for anyone doing chest armor to a vest. IMO, industrial strength velcro is more like crud at this point. Im sure someone has seen this before.
By the wat, Im thinking about doing something with the armor, not sure yet..

BROOKVILLE 25, PUNXSUTAWNEY 22: Zach Vroman rushed for 300 yards on 19 carries and scored on three long runs to lead Brookville past Punxsutawney and give the Raiders the Route 36 Trophy in a Keystone Shortway Athletic Conference game.
Vroman scored on runs of 53, 52 and 76 yards.
Punxsutawney answered Brookville's first score when Matt Burkett hooked up with Clayton Dale on a nine-yard scoring play.
After Vroman dashed for his second touchdown, Punxsutawney's Christian Falgout scored on a three-yard run that was set up by Burkett's 24-yard strike to Dale.
Vroman scored again to give Brookville an 18-14 lead.
Punxsutawney had a chance to score after taking over with 1:03 left in the first half, but Burkett threw an interception after the Chucks drove inside the 10-yard line.
Brookville scored on its first possession of the second half on quarterback Bobby McGranor's one-yard keeper, and the Raiders extended the lead to 25-14.
Punxs'y got back into the game after recovering a muffed punt, scoring when Burkett hit Parker Weaver with an 18-yard strike. Dakota Thomas scored on the two-point conversion to cut the margin to three, 25-22.
The Chucks had one last chance late in the game after Vroman fumbled, but Burkett fumbled at his own 35, and Brookville recovered and used three plays to run out the clock.
Burkett finished 9-for-18 for 94 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Dale had five catches for 67 yards. Falgout gained 97 yards on 15 carries.
Punxsutawney plays host to Union on Friday.

Recycling programs tackle problem of cigarette butts
Recycling has moved far beyond paper and plastic to tackle the nation's top litter problem: cigarette butts.
Private companies are launching programs that not only encourage people to pick up the butts but also recycle them. Contrary to what many smokers may think, cigarette filters are not biodegradable: They are made with a plastic that can leach their toxic chemicals into the environment.
In July, TerraCycle will begin providing free UPS shipping labels — paid for by an unnamed American tobacco company — so people can mail in butts they've collected. TerraCycle will turn the butts into plastic pallets for industrial use.
Today, Eco-Tech Displays is starting a company, Cigarette Butt Litter Dream Recycling, to transform butts into products such as jewelry, vases and guitar picks. It collects the butts from hundreds of ashtrays that it has placed outside bars and restaurants in New York City, New Jersey and Chicago.
There are public efforts, too. New York Assemblyman Michael DenDekker reintroduced a bill this year to give collectors a penny per butt, paid for by a penny deposit per cigarette. Portland, Maine, instituted a $100 fine for butt littering in March. San Francisco began collecting a penny per smoke in 2009 — a "litter abatement fee" — to pay for cigarette cleanup costs.
"We're a long way from yogurt cups," says TerraCycle's Albe Zakes, noting advances in recycling. As long as an affordable way is found to collect and ship waste, he says: "Everything's recyclable."
When it comes to cigarettes butts, Zakes says, the paper and leftover tobacco are manually removed and composted. The rest is shredded, put into a machine that removes toxic chemicals, melted and remade as industrial pallets.
Blake Burich, a Columbus, Ohio, resident who has patented a recycling method and is partnering with companies to start facilities nationwide, says some people eagerly collect butts. He recalls a woman he arranged to meet in a shopping mall.
"She popped her trunk and had a garbage bag full. It must have been 50 pounds," he says.
Curtis Baffico, a San Diego surfer so outraged by butts on the beach that he started a collection effort, says it's a "very dirty, stinky job." Volunteers use compostable gloves or tweezers.
"It's not like picking up bottles. You almost have to use your fingers," he says, adding it's "backbreaking."
He says no amount of collecting and recycling, however, will solve the problem. In its most recent litter survey, the Keep America Beautiful found cigarettes were the single largest item littered on roadways, accounting for 38% of the total. Its main message: Don't litter.

The TC- 22/250 has been in the shop for a recall on the safety. I got it back and put in some range time with it today.First I had to get here back "IN", not to difficult. I took the scope off at the mounts to return it so, slapped it back on and was only one click off up and two clicks over to the right and she was back. I'm using a 52 gr Match king and Varget, very accurate and around 3800 fps. I also made my two stick,sticks in to a three stick,sticks and tested them out. I think the combo will but coyotes and prairie dogs in to never never land.
Then I wanted to use the 22/250 for antelope this year ( we already had that conversation here) so I had 5 loads of Nosler 60 gr partition and "hunter" powder and 5 loads of the 60's and Varget powder. Last year I used a 45gr Barnes going around 4200 fps,shot great just not enough to kill well.AS normal the Varget preformed the best. The hunter was very consistent but like 1 1/2 " groups,all five. The Varget was best on the lower end of the test around 3400 fps thats normal too. I was shooting off my homemade bench with bags,no lead sled today. The temp was 55* and a slite wind around 10 mph in my face but it was switching around a lot SSW S SSE.
The groups probably would be a little better with the sled but it tells me what I need to know.
I love the smell of burnt powder, I "Tested & shot" 50 shells. LOVE IT. Now back to power raking dang. :cry:

Glad to hear about your borage. Incredibly beautiful plant eh?About the seed gathering. You will watch the flowers on the plant. When the flowers drop off, there forms a pod. Observe the growth of the flower pod. In some time (I am not sure the timeframe), you will undoubtedly see the little green seeds growing, open the pod a little bit and observe it, just for fun. This is your learning tool.When the seeds are ripe, of course they will be brown, but they fall so quickly to the ground when they are brown, it is hard to catch them in the nick of time. The birds will get them first in many cases.When the seeds are ready, I pick them when they are still pretty much green. You will see the pod open, the seeds will be very, very visible. They will turn brown very very quickly, sometimes even overnight, so it is a fine line. When you see the pod open up and the seeds are visible, then is the time to pick off the pod. Leave them for a couple of days in a warm spot, you will see the seeds turn brown, almost before your very eyes. These seeds then can be replanted immediately. They will germinate very quickly, within a week, if they have moist conditions. That will be your job, to keep them "reasonably" moist. By reasonably, I mean let the dew from nature do its job (do you get dew? We get lots of dew, but we are in a very moist climate). Or just when you think about it, spray some water on them. Again, do watch out for the birds. Quite often I will just put a whisper of some dirt over them, to hide them a little from the birds, but they will germinate without being covered.Cindi
Nectar is most highest in certain plants in the hot days of summer.Cindi
Thanks Cindi :)1. Would you expect in mid spring for them at a flowering stage to have very little nectar?2. As the days get hotter and hotter, would you expect the nectar level to increase or will the nectar level remain low (since they were planted too early) meaning I need to plant some new Borage at the right time to get the higher nectar levels?ML

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Well if your binding crank just keeps pushing up so it skips, you can actually force it down, but when you're to that point, you can't get it much tighter physically anyways.
|i have the same bindings and same problem. its typical for cheep bindings...
|hahahahahahahaha yeh... we'll I'll see what happens next year. The guy who sold me these seemed like he really knew what he was talking about though and he said that those are the best bang for your buck for all-around bindings.
If you think burton freestyles are good then just wait until you treat yourself to a pair of binders that are actually worth money. You'll jizz yourself so bad you'll be able to donate to 10 sperm banks.
Seriously, other bindings that cost more than 80 bucks (well, maybe around the 150 or so region) are 100 times better than those things. if you feel like youre flexing too much or the bindings are starting to break i suggest spending some money on a good set of bindings. Good binders will last you a long time.
|Yeah the seams did annoy me a lot to start but I forgot about them quickly. I just like the tight and secure feeling I guess. But it did get to around -5, maybe lower, the day I used them. I'll try without next time though
About the Burton Goretex gloves, i think you'll find you dont need the inner glove unless you are in serious cold...
I have pretty bad circulation and my fingers and toes get cold easy..but even without the inner glove it keeps my hands toasty just seconds after taking them off to mess with pockets, etc....
I didnt really like the inner lining myself, the seams are poorly constructed and i hate the feeling of them on my fingers...and as you said its a pain in the ass to get the stupid things on ...
Give it a try without...i just wrap the bungee's around my wrist so they dont fall away if i take them off, and use them like that not tightened down at all...work great.
Review of my newbie gear
I'm really bored so I'm going to do a quick review on my first equipment
Mah board: Santa Cruz Fusion TT. Even though I've only had experience with rentals, I can tell this is an amazing beginner board. I literally have no complaints, only compliments. Perfect flex for me, great control, really saves you when you think you're not going to make it. Very lightweight too. Plus the graphics are just beastly I have a lot of confidence before I head down a hill on this board because I know it's not holding me back at all. Amazing value for the performance. Best Prices on Santa Cruz Fusion TT Snowboard 151 - Mens Snowboards Snowboarding Gear Equipment
Bindings: Burton Freestyles. I guess I didn't get the 2010 version (I bought in-store), but they're still great. Keeps me strapped in right and tight, I never have to worry about them. Very comfortable. There is one thing about these that I don't neccessarily like, but I guess it is a good thing. The crank things start to skip teeth when you're strapped in tight enough so you can't strap too tight and you don't strip the teeth. I always like things to be really tight on my feet because I feel more secure but the tightness that these allow is absolutely perfect. So yeah no movement at all, it's like my boots are part of my board with these bindings, but with the added support bindings give.
Boots: Ride Orion 2010's. Nothing bad with these as far as I can tell. Very comfortable, tighten really easily, tough and really solid yet soft. Really makes me feel like I have control over my board. Plus they're very lightweight which is a bonus.
Save on Ride Orion Snowboard Boots White - Mens Snowboards Boot Snowboarding Gear Equipment
Helmet: Red HiFi 2010. I've only used it once but I've noticed a lot so far. Fits to my head perfectly and only moves when I want it to. I don't notice it at all when I'm riding. Keeps my ears perfectly warm. The headphone insert thing is really cool and fits headphones well but I haven't used it while riding yet. Holds my goggles in place perfectly. One thing I really noticed about these is how easy it is to hear when I'm wearing it. I thought my hearing would be somewhat limited from it but it's not at all. When I use my phone with my helmet still on, I can hear fine with the phone outside the ear pads. So yeah no complaints with this thing either.
Goggles: Anon Solace Work Of Art goggles. Just found out from searching for a link for these that they're womens... but you could never tell. I know that I may possibly have maybe overspent just a little bit considering these are my first goggles... Well either way I had some extra money from xmas and I totally fell in love with these so I got them. I can see fine, I was actually really surprised how well the lenses define things. With other goggles I could hardly make out jumps before I was on them but with these I'm always ready. If that's not enough, these are one of the coolest goggles (imho) out there. I actually got a few compliments on them my first time out so... yeah. Also, no fog at all. None. Totally worth the money. Anon Goggles
Gloves: Burton Goretex's. The only moisture that touches my hands in these is my own sweat. Nothing gets through these, really tough, seals off very nice. The insterts are really nice too. The only problem I have with these is that it takes a little longer than average to take off, and if you're not careful when taking out the inserts, the sticky bottom of the inserts grips onto the lining and the lining gets pulled inside out which can take a while to try to put the thumb part back in. If that happens, don't try to put it back in with the insert gloves on, just use your bare hand, it'll go a lot faster. The zipper pockets on them are cool. I put some paper money in them once and even though the only thing between the money and the world is the thin shell of the gloves (the pockets are on the outside of the fuzzy liner), they only got a little moist after a full 10-hour day of being put through a lot of snow. So yeah, pretty cool. The goggle wipe on the left glove is pretty nice. I honestly couldn't imagine a better glove. Waterproof, warm, pockets, goggle wipe, keeps all snow out... yep, no problems at all with these.

I have no touny experiance but have played with my fair share of touny players so have some idea what its like to play against them.

Need 2 backs a mid and a front man. I personally prefer the snake. Also need to be able to dedicate time to reffing a tourny or two seeing as hosting them is how I think the team will be financed. Players need to have reliable transportation and be able to yell
