PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - The University of Richmond Spiders baseball team dropped its Atlantic 10 conference opener on the road Friday afternoon, falling to the La Salle Explorers, 5-2. With the loss, the Spiders fall to 13-10 on the season and to 0-1 in conference play. With the win, La Salle improves to 15-10 on the year and to 3-1 in league action.
Sophomore Mike Small had a pair of hits, a RBI, and a run scored while junior Jacob Mayers had a pair of hits to pace the Richmond offense. Senior Phil Ruzbarsky and sophomore Adam Forrer also had hits on the afternoon.
On the mound, Mayers had a very nice outing despite not figuring in the decision. The junior tossed seven innings of three-hit baseball, allowing just two earned runs while striking out five. Out of the bullpen, sophomore Andrew Brockett (0-4) took the loss for the Spiders.
After a scoreless first two innings, the Spiders took advantage of a pair of La Salle miscues to take a 1-0 lead in the top of the third. With two outs, Small reached on an infield single to second base. The sophomore then got in to scoring position for Mayers on a balk called on the Explorers' pitcher. After fouling off numerous 2-2 offerings, Mayers grounded sharply to the La Salle shortstop, but the SS was unable to field it cleanly, allowing Small to score from second as the ball went in to the outfield.
The Richmond lead didn't last long, however, as La Salle tied the game in the bottom of the third on a RBI groundout from Adam Kammler.
Through the middle innings, hits and runs were at a premium as both team's starting pitchers were limiting the offense. With the game still tied, 1-1, the Explorers took their first lead of the game in the bottom of the sixth on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Marc Schoch.
In the top of the seventh, the Spiders responded and tied the game at 2-2. After walks to both Eric Flanagan and Zink, runners were on first and second with two outs for Small. Swinging at the first pitch, Small singled sharply to left field, scoring the pinch runner Nick Poulos from second and tying the game at 2-2.
With the game still tied in the bottom of the eighth, the Explorers were able to push three runs across in the frame, taking a 5-2 lead to the top of the ninth.
In the top of the ninth, Richmond had runners on second and third with one out, but back-to-back strikeouts ended the Spider threat and Richmond fell to La Salle, 5-2.
The Richmond Spiders baseball team will continue its Atlantic 10 conference series with the La Salle Explorers on Saturday. First pitch in Philadelphia is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Homemade tire dollies
I have a one car garage to work in.
With a welder, workbench, tools, drill press, pedestal grinder, etc, its kind of tight quarters in there when you roll in a vehicle to work on.
If I had some tire dollies to put under the tires of whatever Im wrenchin on, I could roll it to one side or the other for more access room around it.
I searched the web and found out that the cheapest ones for about $50 a set, like the black ones from HF arent really worth buying for heavier vehicles. The wheels dont have bearings in them and dont roll well under a load, as well as having a tendency to fold over if you push on them too hard and they arent straight.
The tire dollies that do work well start at more than I want to spend. About $100 apiece for the low end HF ones.
I also found some for sale that are solid steel and looked really sturdy. Still more than I want to spend. About $60 each. Hmmm. I could make something like this;
So, I looked around the web for people who have built their own homemade tire dollies and I found these;
I also found this thread on hotrodders.com;
Home made car dolly
I have some steel, a torch, grinder, drill press and a welder.
We dont need no stinkin store bought dollies!
I began by looking for some casters. I needed them all to swivel, and I need about 300 to 500 pounds capacity for each caster, or about 1200# to 2000# per dolly.
Yes. Overkill!
After looking for a while, I ended up with these;
Capacity? IDK for sure, but a LOT! They have 6 inch fiber wheels and greasable ball bearings for the swivel and the wheels. Im guessing capacity is over 500# per caster.
I have a few sheets of 1/8" mild steel that I scored a while back, so I guesstimated and started cutting out some 14" x 14" squares.
Sizing it up.
I made a bolt pattern of the caster mount out of cardboard;
Transferred the pattern over to the sheet steel with a spring loaded punch;
Deepened the marks with a real punch and a hammer;
And drilled the holes;
Then I bolted on the casters;
I know the bolts are too long. I had them, so I used them. I will replace them with shorter bolts.
Here is the first one;

Dang, they're multiplyin;
Then I added some angle iron as a tire stop;
They work pretty good. The pickup frontend swivels around without too much effort at all. I will put the rear dollies under it after I get it in the garage;
I was slightly concerned that the 1/8" steel would bend in the middle and require a gusset across it, but no sign of that happening.
I also designed them so they would hold up a jackstand;
I will use a ratchet strap to strap the jackstand to the dolly so it wont tend to tip over if I push it sideways. I may just go up over the frame rail with another ratchet strap and strap the dolly and all to the frame if I use the jackstands like this and work under the truck. You cant be TOO safe when it comes to tons of steel over your body;
It took me about a day to make them. I got the casters for pretty much nothing, and had the steel laying around, so the total cost is exactly what I had in mind.
I had a problem with the dollies today. I suspected when I built them that the 1/8" steel was borderline as far as strength holding up the truck without a square brace for the tires. I was right.
I rolled the pickup into the garage today and put all four dollies under it. I was having fun pushing the pickup around, then the frontend wouldnt move. I pushed harder but it still wouldnt move. I looked closer and the dolly under the RF wheel was starting to bend, causing 2 of the casters to refuse to swivel.
I didnt have a camera handy, so the above amateur illustration will have to do. The front tire was trying to roll off the dolly, pushing on the piece of angle iron, and bending 2 of the casters back under the dolly.
I jacked the truck back up and pulled the front dollies out from under it. I sledge hammered the dolly flat, then cut some more steel and welded in 2 pieces of angle across the sides, effectively boxing in the area where the tires sit. This will keep the tires from trying to roll off the dollies.
Another amateur illiustration.
I put the 2 reconfigured boxed in dollies back under the front wheels and pushed the truck around a few more times. No more problems.
The back wheels are locked. I have the E brake on, and its in gear, so they cant roll off the dollies. I still plan to box those dollies in as well.
Except for the minor structural problem, they worked great! I can roll the pickup from side to side, or front to back, and it gives me lots of room on any side of the truck.
They also raise the truck up about 8" or so. That makes it easier to get underneath it. That will come in handy since the bed will be coming off, the rear axle swapped, a fuel cell installed, etc.
I boxed in all the dollies and they have been exactly the right idea for my small garage. The pickup is pretty easy to move anywhere I need it.
Working on either side of the truck is a breeze since I can push it all the way over to one side of the garage or the other at will. Brakes on the casters will lock them in place so the truck wont move on me.
Shots of how I boxed in where the tire sits on the dollies.
where did you get the casters?
Nice job and well documented This should go into our knowledge base.
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain
Great write up on the construction of the tire dollies. I like the ability to use them as a tire dolly and as a jack stand dolly. I think you have the right idea about strapping the jack stands to the dolly for extra safety. The higher you get the vehicle on the jacks stands the more tipping force you have so I would still be cautious when moving a vehicle with the jack stands on the dollies.
hmm i just dont like the idea of any dollies of this type at all, home made or not.
i only will use the floor jacks and jackstands
i just cant trust anything else. and rather not take any more risk than possible. i already gotta work under vehicles on a twin post lift every day that i have no idea how well is secured to the concrete and one is not braced at all and actually moves when we lift a vehicle up
so yeah..... thats enough risk for me.... i dont want any more and ive taken wayyyyyy too many crazy risks over the years that ive been lucky and not gotten seriously hurt with.... somehow.... i dont know how...
Nice writeup,I would be worried about the jackstands on them though.
Good write up, how stable are they? They look very tippy, especially with the jackstands. A little momentum and a rock on the floor could be trouble. I would imagine they are fairly safe with just the wheels on them, but with jackstands you are raising the c of g quite high. You really need to move the casters iout from under the wheel, like the other design where the tire sits in a cradle, there is no way that is flipping over.
That said, as long as they are your tools, and you know how to manage them, safety is in your court. Maybe don't let others use them though.
They are all good and all that, but a closer replication of the ones the idea was copied from would work and be much safer .
if it was me i would make them longer and make hold in the mid of them so the tire can sit in them a little better and they will be a safer
but other then that thank u did a grate job
and don't get under the car or truck with the jack stands on them

Supporters of a democratic Burma have for decades adhered to a non-violent approach in order to secure some form of democratic processes in a nation ruled by murderous thugs who use violence in order to enforce their will. An organizer of last September's failed uprising told the British newspaper, the Guardian, "There is a very real debate among us about how to begin a more sustained armed struggle. We are ready for that kind of action, if we can get the supplies and training we need." Speaking from exile in Thailand, Soe Aung, the chief spokesperson for the National "Council of the Union of Burma(NCUB) which represents several groups, admitted "some are considering violent means… the Burmese people are not that kind of people, there has been a real change."
Soe Aung admitted his group is able to receive assistance from the US State Department funded, National Endowment for Democracy, and the United States is "doing the most for the opposition. There has been real success in training and forming an underground movement through religious organizations and monastic organizations. These provide the best cover inside Burma."
American aid undoubtedly has been provided in the form of access to the Internet and to the media, but utilization of religious organizations for armed resistance raises many issues. This is not to say at some point the Burmese people may decide to resort to violence, but including religious groups might be a mistake.

I also have the personal opinion that many winter losses are due to poor quality queens as opposed to "weather" as many claim.
Of course there is always the issue of the genetics you wish to have.
ROBO, When you say emergency queens you are not taking about superseded queens are you?

Hi there. It's great to be here and to meet all of you. I grew up in a very Catholic home for a while with my adopted parents. I studied Buddhism after my nana gave me a book written by His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama. I began to meditate and read a lot of Buddhist texts. My mom is a Buddhist and she's taught me a lot about the dharma. After a lot of study on many world religions, I've found that Buddhism is the best spiritual path for me. It simplifies my life and brings me a lot of peace.
I look forward to getting to know you all.

Case HS) signed NLIs to join the men's squad.
Below are comments from Merner on each of the future Phoenix swimmers and divers.
Early Signing Period
Haley Lucas • Menomonee Falls, Wis. (Menomonee Falls HS) • Butterfly/Freestyle
"We graduated a very good senior butterflyer this year, and I think Haley can step right in and take her place. As a Junior National qualifier, we expect a lot of great things from Haley. She's very talented, a very nice young lady and I think she's going to fit in wonderfully with our program."
Claire Friederick • Lancaster, Wis. (Lancaster HS) • Sprint
"Nobody knows a lot about this young lady, which is why I'm really excited about her. I have seen Claire swim and she's a very powerful sprinter. I think she's going to fit in great in our program and I think people are going to be surprised at how good she's going to become."
Danielle Marcusen • Green Bay, Wis. (Bay Port HS) • Breaststroke
"Danielle has shown some really good things in the last two years in high school and I'm very excited to work with her and help her get a lot better. I believe she is going to have a good freshman season for us next year."
Samantha Rottel • New Berlin, Wis. (Eisenhower HS) • Sprint/Backstroke
"Samantha has consistently been a top-level sprinter in the state of Wisconsin. The question is whether or not we put her in the backstroke area or move her up to the 200 freestyle, but I'm excited about her 50 and 100 freestyle races that she is going to bring to us."
Autumn Roepsch • Dubuque, Iowa (Dubuque Senior HS) • Breaststroke/IM/Sprint
"Autumn is a very talented athlete. Not only is she a swimmer but she has done many other sports. I am very excited to get her into the pool next year. I'm not certain where exactly her talents will be used for us, but she is going to make us a much better team."
Janna Check • Stevens Point, Wis. (Stevens Point Area Senior HS) • Butterfly
"Janna has really shown some good signs of being able to help our program a lot. We were a little weak in the butterfly this year in terms of our depth, and Janna is going to add to that depth next year. I'm really looking forward to getting her on campus."
Alex Jenness • Prior Lake, Minn. (Prior Lake HS) • Backstroke/IM
"I am really excited about this young man. Alex is an up-and-coming swimmer, he's got a lot of good goals set for himself and I think he's going to obtain them very quickly. I think he's going to step right in and help our program get a lot better right away and make an impact in the Horizon League as a freshman."
Late Signing Period
Alyssa Udean • Brooklyn Center, Minn. (Centennial HS) • Distance Freestyle/Butterfly/IM
"Alyssa is a very good all-around swimmer. She's an excellent butterflyer, is excellent in IMs, but more importantly she really loves to swim the distance freestyle races. She is going to make a huge impact on our team next year. She will allow us to be more creative with other peoples' races, and we're very excited about this great young lady joining our program."
Crystal Franzwa • Winona, Minn. (Winona Senior HS) • Diving
"Crystal has shown a lot of improvements in her diving abilities over the last couple years and has made an impact on Minnesota diving. She was a finalist at the Minnesota State Championships this year and diving coach Tom Stover and I are confident that this talented diver is going to make an impact for us right away."
Claire Walters • Northfield, Minn. (Northfield HS) • Freestyle/Butterfly
"The word that comes to mind when talking about Claire Walters is 'wow.' We are very fortunate that she has chosen our program. She is an outstanding swimmer from the short frees, up to the longer middle-distance freestyles and into the butterflys. She can do it all. She is a Junior National qualifier, a championship-level swimmer from Minnesota, and prior to that she was a state champion in Texas. We're extremely excited to have her join our program this coming year."
Natalie Neuwirth • Stevens Point, Wis. (Stevens Point Area Senior HS) • Freestyle/Backstroke/Butterfly/IM
"We have been recruiting Natalie for a long time and we are very happy that she has made the decision to join our team next year. She is extremely talented in a number of areas and I know she is going to help us excel as a team next season."
Alex Bodin • West Des Moines, Iowa (Valley HS) • Middle-Distance Freestyle/Breaststroke
"I believe Alex is an up-and-coming young man who has in the past been a breaststroker but has really branched off into becoming a talented middle-distance freestyler. I'm excited to see him explore his middle-distance freestyle and see what he can do to help our men's squad."
James Wise • Chilton, Wis. (Chilton HS) • Diving
"James is an excellent diver from the state of Wisconsin who took second place in the state championship this year in Division 2. He is highly talented and very academically oriented. He is going to be an excellent diver to have on our men's team."
Jacob Vance • Roselle, Ill. (Lake Park HS) • Breaststroke/Distance Freestyle
"I think Jacob is someone with a lot of potential and someone I believe is going to really excel at Green Bay. He's very tall. His breaststroke and distance freestyle abilities form a weird combination, but I think they actually might fit well for our team. I'm so excited to see this young man get better and better."
Andy Cooper • Peoria, Ill. (Dunlap HS) • IM
"Andy is a good all-around swimmer who came to us late in the recruiting process. He showed a lot of desire to want to be at Green Bay, and after spending some time in our program I believe he'll really improve and become a great 200 and 400 IM swimmer for us in the future."
Video: Dunlap's Cooper signs with Green Bay
Jarred Glaser • Racine, Wis. (J.I. Case HS) • Middle-Distance Freestyle
"I really like the way Jarred swims and I think he's going to become a very talented middle-distance freestyler for us. He's going to benefit from spending some time training in a Division I college program, and I think he's going to do some good things here at Green Bay."

Hey guys, dont know how much weight this hold, but being over here in Germany and being a service member they offer car sales for us on Audi, VW, Toyota, BMW, Porsche, etc. You get the drift, either way; I requested a quote from Auto Exchange (military car sales who specializes in sales for Audi, VW) for a 2013 A3 and was passed on this information when I replied to the original quote in regards to the 2013 model. Seeing that orders placed with them are custom factory built cars and not cars already built sitting on the lot and working directly with the factory I figured it might hold some weight.
On the American side of things, what weve been told is that the A3 model year for 2013 will be a short one. This makes sense as weve all heard that the A3 sedan will be rolled out in late 2012.
In terms of the hatchback (Sportback) Ive been hearing that maybe an S3 might be released alongside the sedan, but Ive heard nothing definitive.
Unfortunately, until Audi release official specs.
Things can change in the course of a year, but at this stage it does look unlikely that there will be an A3 hatchback available in 2014

Interesting. I know first priority on Sportback will be hybrid or alternative fuel, but maybe they'll do performance too with the body style federalized.
I dont think Audi will ever be able to build a worthy Successor to the B5. The B5 chassis is still the best "modern" chassis Audi has ever built. It was a mix of old school german (1996 A4's used Audi B3 door handles) and new technology in the form of much beefier suspension.
If the S3 does come with a 2.5 TFSI I will probably be in line for one (regardless of price) but I really want them to put this motor into something longitudinal.
Someone with a spare 2.5 TFSI engine needs to do that.
**Full-time ****posting**
Ok, sign me up!
Not too hopeful... Lately Audi has been too heavy and too expensive... I've got a B5 and a B6, and they are getting long in the tooth.. Come on Audi, make something I want to buy and can afford! Even a detuned 2.5 would be fine - I can always pump it up like my B6
Starting to get stoked! Here's to hoping that the rumors are true! The new Sportback pictures are hot!!!

HOLY. MOTHER. OF. GOD. was that RS3 stock?

What a danger to himself and others around him!
Almost losing it several times because he's bouncing in his seat like a rag doll.
Why wear a Helmet and sit in your seat in your beach outfit?
Flashing like a loon coming up on Flugplatz while behind the Porsche (Not done while it's a tourist fahrt).
Childish wave coming out of Adenauer Forst to the BMW driver. (I bet the BMW driver let him by just to save himself from being rear-ended by super cool RS3 dude).
Then not slowing down when there is a car in the wall at Breitscheid (that's why the Golf slowed down!!!).
Almost getting caught out by understeer in Brunchen... TWICE
Being the cool pro RS3 dude he is, he's even got time to give a victory sign to probably his fans.
And than putting up his finger like he'd won an actual race.
Let's open a bottle of Moët!
Xbox clowns like that are the reason the Ring is closed several hours a day after yet another accident. And then people on youtube are commending him on his "PRO" drive... Come on!!! He's no Pro, he just hasn't run out of luck yet.
And no, I'm not a pissed-off BMW guy.

Law School Professor Elected President of the Wayne State University Academy of Scholars
DETROIT (August 27, 2007) – Robert A. Sedler, Distinguished Professor of Law at Wayne State University, has been elected as President of the Wayne State University Academy of Scholars for the 2007-2008 school year.
The Academy of Scholars was established in 1979 for the purpose of creating a community of scholars from among the university's most celebrated researchers. Election to the Academy is the highest recognition that may be bestowed upon faculty members by their colleagues.
"I would like to congratulate Professor Robert Sedler on being elected as President of the Academy of Scholars," said Law School Dean Frank H. Wu. "Professor Sedler has been a respected leader among faculty, staff and students at the Law School for quite some time. Beyond the Law School, he is a well-known expert in his field and continuously contributes to the legal community through his extensive and impressive research."
Sedler has been at Wayne State University Law School since 1979 where he specializes in Constitutional Law and Conflict of Laws. He has published extensively in both of his fields and has litigated a large number of civil rights and civil liberties cases in Michigan, Kentucky and elsewhere, mostly as a volunteer lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
In 1988, he received the Donald H. Gordon Award for Excellence in Teaching and was named a Gershenson Distinguished Faculty Fellow at Wayne State for 1985-87. From 2000-2005, he held the Gibbs Chair in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. He has also received awards from the NAACP Kentucky Conference in 1975, the ACLU of Kentucky in 1976, the NAACP Metropolitan Detroit Branch in 1986, the Southwestern Michigan ACLU in 1988, the Metropolitan Detroit ACLU in 1994, and the Oakland County ACLU in 2002. He was the Chairperson of the Michigan State Bar Constitutional Law Committee from 1981 to 1987, and of the Legal Education Committee from 1988 to 1994.
Sedler earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1956 and his Juris Doctorate degree from the same university in 1959.
Founded in 1927 as Detroit City Law School, Wayne State University Law School is the only public law school in the Detroit metropolitan area. The Law School is accredited by the ABA and is a member of AALS; has five live-client clinics; the Arthur Neef Law Library with a collection of over 620,000 volumes in a variety of formats; and a state-of-the-art building with lecture and court facilities, multi-media and distance learning classrooms, and offices for student groups. The Law School currently has 800 students and approximately 11,000 living alumni working in 48 states and 15 foreign countries.

Steve Howard:
Let's go all-in on selling sustainability
The big blue buildings of Ikea have sprouted solar panels and wind turbines; inside, shelves are stocked with LED lighting and recycled cotton. Why? Because as Steve Howard puts it: "Sustainability has gone from a nice-to-do to a must-do." Howard, the chief sustainability officer at the furniture megastore, talks about his quest to sell eco-friendly materials and practices — both internally and to worldwide customers — and lays a challenge for other global giants.

Earlier this week a thread in the MMO section of the forum mentioned the lack of Roleplaying in MMORPGs, bemoaning the changes which had occurred as we advanced into the future of gaming. Such an issue most certainly piqued my interest as i'v been looking about for a group of people interested in playing a Roleplaying game, a table-top one specifically called Mystic Empyrean. The game is incredibly narrative heavy and emphasizes the characters personalities as their experience and skills rather than the number of rats the players have killed during the encounter.
The best source of information on the game is, strangely, its old kickstarter page and video which goes over both the jest and general principles of what the game is and what makes it unique in regards to other table-top engines - the kickstarter has, of course, already come to a close some years ago : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...iscover-become
How, you may be, wondering would a group gather together in a comfortable format over the internet? Ah, that is where perhaps the best online Table Top service on the internet comes into play, Roll20.net. If you're interested in Roleplaying games and haven't stumbled upon this gem of a service i pity you as it's both easy to use and free, with advanced features for monthly subscribers. With everything from web-based multi-sided dice programs to customization decks of cards built directly into the website, as well as a voice-chat service (which wouldn't be used) and a quick, easily customized play-mat view able in real time to everyone involved Roll20 would completely remove the barrier to entry that distances pose.
Please drop a PM if you're interested, you don't have to come in with a character pre-made. I also strongly encourage dropping the fifteen dollars on the digital core book, but their is a caviot at the end of it which says they understand if its' necessary to pass the PDF around to a small gaming group.

I had a problem with something getting in my pineapple patch a few years back so I set out some traps. The first night I caught a coon. I took it to an old country woman who buys them for food. She asked me "can you get me a possum?". I said I'd try and she said "Good! 'Cause it ain't Easter dinner without a coon AND a possum!".Scott
Alright here is the way to cook a opossum and sweet taters.....first catch your opossum put him in a cage and feed him nothing but water and swelled corn for about two weeks. Slaughter and clean him, next soak the meat in a gallon of butter milk and a large bottle of Louisiana hot sauce overnight. Next (this is key ingredient) get you a clean pine board that will cover the bottom of your roasting pan, generously apply salt, pepper, and a generous amount of Creole seasoning to the meat, place opossum on board and place sweet taters around the meat add about 2 inches of water to roasting pan and place in preheated 275 degree oven.When the taters are done remove from oven remove opossum from pan and set aside, now you eat the pine board and sweet taters and feet the opossum to your dog.NOW THAT IS GOOD EATS!
Just have returned from the trapout of one of the largest feral hives I have ever seen, this time with a third 5 frame nuke full of bees. With the overnight temp being in the 50's there was still a lot of bees exiting the cone this morning, so another box was placed on the tree, that 40 foot climb after about a two mile hike is starting to get interesting, wonder how many more times I get to repeat this before I get this prolific queen. I really look forward to seeing this girl and getting her in a hive.

At the heart of legacy IT, hosting, managed service providers (MSP) and clouds are common building blocks that include processing, networking and, of course, storage, all of which enable and advance cloud capabilities. In addition, as one of three primary building blocks of the cloud computing infrastructure, storage has a multi-tenant role.
This article explores tiered storage mediums or devices for public and private clouds, including the best storage options for different cloud services based on application performance, availability, space capacity, economics and functionality requirements. Tiered storage combines solid state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs).
Background and Challenges
As cloud computing and cloud storage adoption continues to grow, so do the challenges of supporting access in a safe, cost-effective way while meeting quality of service (QoS), service level agreements (SLAs) and service level objectives (SLOs). Cloud computing and cloud storage on a public, private and hybrid service addresses information demands and associated technology changes.
Both people and information are living longer and, as a result, the associated data storage to protect, preserve and serve their needs is changing the way we think about data storage. In addition to needing cost-effective data protection and preservation, performance or responsiveness of cloud-based information services and applications are critical factors in scaling cloud storage. Other business and technology challenges include being able to physically manage and store more data along with associated processing and networking resources in a given amount of space or footprint. The challenge is that not all applications or information services have the same storage performance, availability, reliability, space capacity, density or cost requirements.
The Need for Tiered Storage
From a cost perspective, using only high-capacity, low-performance storage, such as nearline HDDs, could possibly meet financial goals. The challenge with this, however, is that some applications would result in performance bottlenecks. On the other hand, using ultra-fast NAND flash SSDs would result in an exceptionally responsive system, but the cost to support large-scale amounts of data, using just SSDs, would simply be prohibitive.
The best solution is to use different tiers of storage devices installed into cloud compute servers and storage systems to meet your specific requirements. Different tiers of data storage get used in various ways by cloud services and product providers to meet diverse application needs. Your specific return on innovation for storage to support cloud applications will be measured by your system's performance, availability, capacity and energy efficiency and how they meet various SLOs and SLAs.
The historical information usage and access model has traditionally included data creation, content modification, ending the productive lifecycle quickly, then living on a storage platform as legacy content. Once data is inactive, it might not be used again for a long time, if at all. This legacy trend still exists today, particularly for transactional and little data, making the case for data footprint reduction (DFR) techniques, including archiving, compression, deduplication, thin provisioning and storage tiering.
The challenge with legacy content is that this inactive data is occupying storage space capacity that could otherwise be used for active data. The idea is to move inactive data from premium higher-performance storage media tiers, such as SSD or fast 15K HDDs, to slower, larger-capacity, energy-efficient and lower-cost HDDs. By removing inactive data from more expensive, high-performance storage, those resources are then used more effectively while reducing overall storage costs and thereby improving the return on investment. Inactive data can be moved to a nearline or offline tier of storage locally or offsite.
With a traditional data lifecycle model, there is also the notion that data or information loses value over time. This may have been the case in the past but not now.
The new data lifecycle model shows how data can maintain or even increase its value over time by being online or nearline accessible. Many cloud-based applications, services and functionality fall into the activity model where data is created, then read, copied, analyzed, downloaded and new versions created. Recognizing activity patterns is an important step in aligning the approached tier of storage medium to different applications for public and private clouds.
What Are Your Options?
The specific type or tier of storage for enabling your cloud capabilities will depend on the type and classes of service being provided. For example, if the focus of a cloud service is providing low- or no-cost capabilities that do not need a large amount of performance, high-capacity, energy-efficient HDDs are an option. On the other hand, if the service requires low response time (latency) while supporting a large number of active users, SSDs are a good fit. What this means is that different tiers of storage media are aligned and used to leverage the various attributes of those technologies to changing needs.

|Tier 1
|Tier 2
|Tier 3
|SFF and LFF SAS SSD

|Very high I/O activity, low latency, I/O consolidation
|Moderate I/O activity and capacity in dense footprint
|Occasional read access, high capacity, low cost
|Infrequent access, high capacity, very low cost
|Higher I/O activity vs. space capacity mix of reads and writes

Indonesian National Police chief, General Satanto, chairman of the National Narcotics Agency(BNN) says execution of traffickers on death row should be speeded up because the only thing that will teach drug offenders of the folly of engaging in drugs is to be killed. Of course, if they are killed, they really can't change their behavior.
General Satanto said: "Drug traffickers must be executed immediately as a warning. That is why the BNN is coordinating closely with the Attorney General's office which is responsible for the executions." According to the general, putting them in prison doesn't do much good because all they do is transform a nice pleasant jail into a center of drugs. "International drug trafficking syndicates have been controlled from jails. Imprisonment has failed to stop drug cases."
There are now 72 people on death row awaiting execution and only 3 drug traffickers have been killed. Drug cases rose from 17, 355 in 2006 to 22,630 in 2007. If the history of prisons and crime has any relevance to the general, there is absolutely no evidence that crime goes down if more are executed. Has he considered legalizing drugs or education as alternatives?

Despite starting out with a stormy Friday night, last weekend's Homecoming and Family Weekend was a fun-filled time shared by all – students and their families, alumni, faculty and staff.
But even a stormy start can't discourage RWU spirit. Many of the events held last Friday through Sunday saw record attendance, bringing together the campus community and returning alumni for this annual tradition.
Nearly 600 people turned out for Friday night's much anticipated Casino Night and Midnight Madness pep rally, eager to try a hand at blackjack and the roulette wheel and to cheer on the winter sports teams. A warm, bright Saturday afternoon provided a festive atmosphere for the community to enjoy fresh-pressed apple cider and popped kettle corn, pumpkin painting, live music and dance performances, lawn games and much more at Autumn Fest. Fifty attendees volunteered to have their heads shaved in alliance with children fighting cancer for St. Baldrick's Day at RWU, an annual fundraiser for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, a nonprofit organization that funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any other organization except for the U.S. Government; this year, RWU raised about $10,000 for the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
At the Homecoming coronation, RWU President Donald Farish crowned Christopher O'Keefe and Annie DeWitt as the 2012 Homecoming King and Queen.
Well over 100 alumni returned to campus for the featured alumni events, such as the Second Annual Alumni Leadership Conference and the School of Architecture, Art and Historic Preservation (SAAHP) Women's Leadership Network meeting. A full crowd gathered under the alumni tent for an autumn-themed lunch and to pose for photos with the Roger Williams statue on D'Angelo Common. At the Alumni Leadership Conference, alumni heard about the success of the Alumni Supporting Admissions Program and how they can support current students through mentoring and internships; they also brainstormed ways to stay involved at the University in three breakout sessions led by students.
"What we were trying to show them is that we are gaining momentum in getting the important programs in place that they want to see," according to Lisa Raiola, assistant vice-president of alumni relations. "The Alumni Leadership Conference is for our alumni volunteers to become engaged and to tell us how they want to become involved. It was a good two-way conversation all day long."
At the inaugural meeting of the SAAHP Women's Leadership Network, 16 founding members, including students, faculty and alumni, developed a plan for the next three years; work will commence this fall with an internal study of women's academic achievements and leadership roles in the SAAHP programs, with assistance in implementing the study from the marketing and web development departments.
Homecoming Weekend also saw the first awarding of the Brett Bergman '11 Memorial Senior Merit Scholarship to a graduating senior from the Mario J. Gabelli School of Business who best exemplifies an entrepreneurial spirit. Family and friends established this scholarship to honor Brett Bergman's passion for enterprise, love of learning and intellectual curiosity. The inaugural scholarship was awarded to Michael Lefebrve, a business management major who hopes to pursue a career in hotel and restaurant management.
But the weekend wasn't all about work. There were also events to bring together the whole community to share in some laughs. Saturday evening's performance featuring comedian Hal Sparks drew the largest crowd – nearly 1,000 attendees enjoyed the free stand-up performance.
"Just seeing the lively reaction of both parents and students proved that it definitely was a success," said Director of Student Programs and Leadership Carol Sacchetti. In all, Homecoming and Family Weekend was a wonderful success this year. "I think that Homecoming and Family Weekend is a beautiful time for families to come back and see how the campus is a vibrant place to be."

Item: Klipsch Noise Canceling Headphones
Price: $139.99
Shipping Options: $5 Standard OR $9 Two-Day OR $12 One-Day
Condition: New
Search Amazon Search Google
Us Baby Boomers are trying to be restrained. Something we've learned over time. ;-)
Some good reviews (3.7 out of 5.0) reviews over at amazon
Some additional info can be found over at klipsch.com
Check out this thorough review over at engadget.com
they sure are sexy. but i cant imagine wearing them in this heat
I bought these headphones the last time they came through.
The sound is good to very good. I am not an audiophile though. The noise cancelling is great. They are tight for us big headed folks. I wear a size 8 baseball cap (I know, melon head) and it is tight out of the box. A little stretching over the arm of the couch has loosened them up for me. They are fairly heavy for a headphone, but the quality seems top notch.
They are well worth this price in my opinion.
I bought these on Woot once. With regard to actual noise reduction, they're only fair. For listening to music, they're good. Also, note, they are for folks with a 'smaller' head. They ended up hurting after wearing them for a while, because of the pressure they put on either side of my head. I dearly wanted them to work out, but I ended up getting rid of them.
I still love you Woot!
I've been looking for a while for some NC cans for my all-too-frequent plane trips. I have a kid in college, so sending Dr. Bose enough for a set of QCs is painful. These seem OK - after reading a lot of reviews, the buzz seems to be:
1. Fairly good, but not great, NC.
2. Very warm, rich sound, but so much so that detail seems to be lost, especially in mid and high range. Still people loved it most of the time.
3. Tight fit for isolation seems to be tiring, and the leather earpads are sweaty for some.
4. Nearly a pound and HUGE means you gotta be OK with the "I'm wearing big headphones" look and not hoping for I-forgot-I-had-them-on comfort.
Still, most reviewers said they were pretty OK with the $350 price tag when new, which means $140 is REALLY good. Can't decide if I'm going to pull the trigger on these or spend a little more on Audio-Technicas, Sennheisers or (gasp!) Bose.
The two women in the product pictures are very attractive, but not very happy. What is it about these headphones that makes them less than happy?
I prefer being happy, so I won't be getting these headphones.

Anyone used both these and the Bose QC? Comparisons?
what are:
Was the engineer inspired to reach a Hi-Fi standards, but then fell short? Is there even such a thing as "Hi-Fi Cables" beyond marketing?
Sounds like 24k inspired gold jewelry--that's really just gold plated....

Although bose are the most expensive (well i guess it depends on the model there are some Sennhiesers that are in the 1000s) even comparable in audio quality to the Audio-technicas or Sennheisers. Although the NC on the bose is very good, but are overpriced for what you get.
I researched the heck out of these, reading all kinds of reviews and internet searches before I dropped $150 on some headphones. Consistently, they outperformed Bose for those that had tested/worn both. Quality is great. THey do get warm, but the seal is good. You can stretch these to fit if you have a pumpkin head. My coworker also bought these and there were no questions asked by Klipsch when he returned them after the warranty was up due to a dead NC switch. I like that Klipsch stands up for their products. This is a great deal.

I bought the Audio-Technicas and they are very good at noise cancelling, but not as great at Bose. Also, on the ATs, you pretty much have to turn on the NC feature to be able to hear music or dialogue clearly, for some reason the sound is 'muffled' when the NC is turned off. But, given the price differential between AT and Bose, I am happy with the AT.

2.0 out of 5 stars Looks and sounds nice, but..., November 15, 2012
Rick D. Siders - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Klipsch Mode M40 Mode Headphones - Copper/Black (Electronics)
First of all, I am no expert when it comes to headphones. However, I do love music and am a fan of hearing it as it was meant to be heard. I also travel quite a bit, so I wanted some noise cancelling, over-the-ear headphones. For me, the choice was between the BOSE QC 15, Klipsch M40, and the Beats. I ultimately settled on the BOSE QC 15, but none of them were perfect. So, here are my thoughts on each:
(1) Klipsch M40 - sound was WONDERFUL, and they look great. The noise cancelling was impressive, but not quite as good as the Bose QC 15. I would have kept these, but they were WAY TOO tight and I could only wear them for about 15 minutes before getting a splittine headache. I have a fairly large head (hat size between 7 3/8 and 7 1/2), but these were over the top tight! Again, if my head were a little smaller, I would have kept these.
(2) Beats - in one word, "awful!" I have never written a bad review for a product until this review, but they are so bad. Let's start with the look...they look cool (I had the orange ones, and they look sweet). They are also fairly comfortable to wear. HOWEVER, they don't sound as good as the Klipsch 40's or the BOSE QC 15's. Further, and most importantly, YOU CANNOT WEAR THESE ON A PLANE! The person next to you can hear them as well as you can hear them. It is embarrassing, and I would never wear them in a public place...and unfortunately, these are PORTABLE headphones. Also, the noise cancelling is just ok.
(3) BOSE QC 15 - all around the best over-the-ear headphone amongst the three I purchased. They are very comfortable to wear. The noise cancelling is CRAZY good. The sound is very pure, but seems to be somewhat muted. Because of this, I actually purchased a portable amp to go with them. I would have preferred not to do this, but it really helps.
Anyway, I hope this helps!
Well, cool-looking or not, ya really can't knock Bose headphones for not trying to be stylish. The "Design Tool" on QC-15's lets you change the color of every single aspect of the headphones. So, there's that; just sayin' ...
Anybody compared these with Monoprice's ridiculously great $100 model?
I have two sets of Bose and a set of these purchase on Woot. These sound good but I prefer the Bose. Main reason these are tight on my head. Have these for the office and if they went missing, would not feel as bad if they were my expensive Bose....Travel with my Bose....
mfeferman wrote:I bought these on Woot once. With regard to actual noise reduction, they're only fair. For listening to music, they're good. Also, note, they are for folks with a 'smaller' head. They ended up hurting after wearing them for a while, because of the pressure they put on either side of my head. I dearly wanted them to work out, but I ended up getting rid of them.
I still love you Woot!
I agree with most of the comments, like this one. I used these on a long flight to South Africa. The noise cancelling was fine on the plane, and the sound quality was pretty good (again, as others have said, not excellent but solid). My biggest complaint is with extended wearing, the top of my head started to hurt. I wasn't bothered by the pinching on the sides and my head isn't that big, but on the top of my skull where the band rests got super sore to the point where I could no longer keep them on my head. There appears to be padding on the top of the headband, but I can assure you it is not sufficient for extended wear.
Now they sit in their fancy zipper case, unused and unloved.
I got these last time for $150...the NC is decent, but not great...the sound though, is awesome, especially with the NC on. It seems to activate a boost in the volume/bass. They are a bit on the heavy side, and get a little warm (the ear cuffs feel almost like memory foam). They are good for travelling, but they really shine for work and games...you don't hear the A/C blowing, computer fans, cars driving by, people walking up to you, etc...it completely puts you in a bubble
Of course, the NC broke on mine, but a quick email to Klipsch got me a replacement pair (and it looked like they swapped my refurb for a NIB pair).
It comes with a bunch of accessories, though i'm not sure how much I need a storage bag, case and airplane adapter. Having the cable with the mic is nice for the occasional call though.
I got a pair of these last go round. The sound to me was genuinely good. definitely more of a warm bias to the sound but nevertheless good. I however grew to hate them. They will pinch your head like a vice. anything past 15-20 minutes will give you a headache and the discomfort only mounts from there. The ear cups are also rather shallow so if your ear touches at all it is met with a surprisingly abrasive surface. I got rid of them and with the money I made I bought a new pair of headphones. I had to pay just a little more but not much and I got the logitech UE 6000. They blew me away with sound quality and I can wear them for days without discomfort. If you really want a good pair of cans I would recommend not breaking your heart with this pair.
The only thing better about the klipsch is the sound quality, and dont get me wrong that is a heavy contender for what is desired out of a high end head phone. In all honesty though the SQ isnt a great deal better. QC 15 is much much lighter and the noise cancelling is second to none. the only downside to the QC is the price... if you absolutely need the noise cancelling I would go with the Bose. Otherwise I advise logitech's ue6000. Those will blow your mind. Klipsh sound great but are unbearably uncomfortable between the tight fit, shallow ear cups, and overall weight.
Has anyone with a small head tried these? I found the Bose to be just a little too big for me.
I had tried the Bose Noise-Cancelling headphones previously in a workplace environment (trying to escape the chatter) and my assessment is as follows.
For half the price, these work fine in reducing sound (probably 90% to what the Bose reduce) but the noticeable difference is that these are heavier, and you will definitely feel it after wearing these for some time, (also not so desireable for traveling-bulky).
Also, the bar on the top of the head can be uncomfortable after some time.
They are nicely (if not overly so) packaged, and sturdy.
Overall, for half the price, I am impressed.

Turkey Collider delivers when it matters. Rodney Stuckey returns with a bang in Pistons victory | detnews.com | The Detroit News
Thanks a lot, Rodney.
I must admit, I couldn't quite contain my uncontrollable laughter when I read the headline "Rodney Stuckey returns with a bang". Never before has a more appropriate headline been written about Super Collider. Big-ups to Stuckey for really going out on a limb and stating that he'd "play until the final buzzer". That's some leadership right there folks!
Q has finally found a way to get the most out of these guys! the perfect combination of benching, ignoring, and lineup tweaking has culminated in this performance. It's just a shame that it took this long and that he may not be here next year to ride it to a title.
See my new thread for the answer.
This was a strange game. Couldn't find it on tv, so DirectTV directed me to channel 757. NO hd, the screen had the scores way over on the right, off the screen and I couldn't see the score or the 24 second clock the whole game. Tried messin' with it, no luck. George B and Rick M were doing the radio audio for the game, this is what you heard for the commentary. No Greg K. No Belle Tire commercials, alot of camera shots of the Palace crowd. It was different for sure. Not bad tho, George is real good at keeping you knowing the score and I never get to listen to Rick M, I liked his feedback. I can hardly watch anything now that is not is hd, i'm spoiled big time.
Didn't watch the game so comments are few questions are many..... The writeup I read said the Lopez was scoring on everybody... was he just that good last night or was the defense (and who was on him mostly) that pathetic. And how much credit goes to Q for trying something different (zone def) with 10 mins left and a guy who was unstoppable not scoring again.... or does all the credit go to the bad Nets team not trying to get the ball to there best player on the court? I think that Rip if nothing else the last month has made himself tradable again... depending on what happens with the CBA and where the new cap is set. I really wish he and Prince could finish in Detroit but I just don't think they can be good team players in the future here.... Great pieces for another team though much like Chauncey was when he went to Denver.
Lopez was scoring on everyone, he was hitting jumpers and driving to the hoop, he was drawing fouls too. I think the zone made it more difficult for the nets to get it into him but I think a better team would have found a way to get him the ball.

Helps relieve the discomforts of nasal congestion, dry itchy skin, chapped lips, and dry throat. View larger.
The Drop Shape Cool Mist Humidifier was a finalist in the 2011 International Housewares Design Awards. Thanks to its fun, contemporary design and whisper-quiet operation, it is discreet enough to be left out when company visits.
Straightforward, Whisper-Quiet Operation
Not only are Crane humidifiers stylish, but they are also easy to use and include a built-in auto-shut-off feature that engages when the water tank is empty to ensure safety. The whisper-quiet operation helps provide for a good night sleep for everyone.
Operating the Crane Drop Shape Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier requires only a few easy steps. Simply remove the water tank from the unit, unscrew the tank cap, and fill the water tank under a water faucet. Securely replace the tank cap, making sure the rubber cap seal is in place, and place the water tank back onto the unit. Place the humidifier on an elevated surface and set it to a medium output setting for comfortable room humidification.
Important Tips
If you have a lot of minerals in your tap water, it is recommended to use distilled water, filtered water, or a Crane demineralization filter (HS-3161). Place humidifier on an elevated surface and not on carpet, towel, or sensitive wood furniture.
Cleaning and Storage
Frequently cleaning your humidifier is very important. Crane recommends emptying the water in the basin daily, making sure you pour away from the fan air-outlet. Disinfect the water basin and tank weekly by using a white vinegar and fresh water solution, let sit for 30 minutes, then rinse. For convenience, the Crane Descaler solution HS-1933 is also available. It is important to disinfect and dry completely before storage.

Multnomah students raised over $2000 for Haiti earthquake relief during the week of the Global Ministries Conference. (And we're sure the dollar amount is much higher now - but we weren't able to confirm exactly how much at time of posting).
Haitian Seminary Collapses
Bruce and Cindy McMartin, grads of Multnomah, teach at a seminary in Haiti which recently collapsed because of the earthquake. All funds collected will be sent to help them.
There have been reports that there are around 5000 people camped out on a campus that holds roughly 200 students! There is no place to use the restroom (save for holes they've dug), medical supplies run out fast, and food/water supplies run short.
Burying Dead Students
And more disturbing than all of this is that we've heard reports that they even had to bury some dead students on the campus grounds because there was no other place to put them.
Now, try to imagine all of this on the Multnomah campus - but with far fewer resources!

Considering raw deit for my new pup
Hey everyone my name is Matt and am new to the forum. I've read through a lot of posts on here and found them very helpful. I'm new as well to GSDs and just got my first one 2 weeks ago this coming Saturday. He's 4 months old and has been eating Pro Plan. I've read a lot online about feeding raw, am just wondering if anyone near the Chattanooga area is feeding raw to help assist me where to find good deals on meats and help on any questions I have. I've tried calling around here to pet shops and kennels but everyone wants to sell me a 6lbs bag of frozen food for $35 and tells me not to buy my own meats and feed. They say its not good and to much work and it wont be the right diet. Just trying to get on the right track of where to get the food and what to get I found a lot of helpful info at the link below I would also like to know about what vitamins and supplements they need in addition to the raw diet.
The Basics
for puppies it is critical to feed them in correct ratios
because i am fairly new to raw and worry about my adults getting the right ratios at times i would personally feed a balanced kibble to a puppy
especially with all the joint and growth problems sheps can be prone to
but if you study and make sure your ratios are correct raw could work
i am just not brave enough to do it myself :shrug:
(Sorry for the crazy long reply)
I honestly have no experience with transitioning a puppy on to raw. Although from what I've read, your guy should be able to handle regular raw meals.
There are many people on here MUCH more knowledgable than me, but here's a few key things that I found really helpful as a newbie.
- Start by feeding meals that weigh about 2-3% of your dogs' body weight, and adjust upwards or downwards as necessary. (feeding a puppy is a little different here, you'll feed 2-3% of your puppy's estimated ADULT weight, and adjust up or down as needed.)
- Balance is important! An ideal diet will consist of about 80% MM (Muscle Meat), 10% Bone, 5% Liver, and 5% other OM (organ meat). HOWEVER, balance is not needed in every meal, you just need to be sure you're balancing over time. (my dog gets her balanced diet over every 3-4 days)
- When beginning, DO NOT start with the totally balanced approach, your poor pup may suffer from cannon butt as a result. :poop: :p Start with ONE protein (I used chicken), and feed bone-in meals (Chicken leg 1/4). Over a period of a few days, increase MM to proper ratio, and after your dog is doing well on that, begin to SLOWLY add SMALL portions of liver, working towards the full 5%. (After that's established, begin to add variety and other OM, MM, etc.)
Here are some resources I found to be very helpful:
Raw Feeding (RF) (on yahoo! groups, and on Facebook)
Raw Feeding Community (Facebook)
And the RAW forums here, of course!
Finding good, reasonable food sources is a biggie for raw feeders. I started by buying stuff from regular grocery stores, and have branched out over the last few months. Free stuff is the best (hunters can be a fabulous resource), but even ordering from online suppliers should certainly be less than $35 for 6lbs! If there's a co-op that delivers to your area, that can be great too! Do a little local research and see what you turn up.
I did a lot of calculating when I started raw, and I've figured out that if I average $1.60/lb or less, I will be paying the same (or less) than when I was feeding kibble (Orijen). I've been able to stay under my budget with little to no trouble. I splurge on something if I get a great deal, or score some free stuff. :)
Supplements and what is or is not needed are a HUGE ongoing discussion in the Raw community. :crazy: Some believe that all the dog needs is meat, bones and organs. Some believe they need a vegetable and/or fruit puree. Some add all sorts of oils, powders, you-name-it to every meal. Ask 3 different raw feeders, you'll probably get 4 different answers! :D
Personally, I decided to feed with a prey-model diet as my starting point. (Prey model, or PMR, is the faction of raw feeders who believe in the meat/bones/organs ideal.) Lena has been doing fabulous, but I also feed her veggies/fruits on a semi regular basis, she gets fish oil when there is no fish in her diet, and she gets garlic as a flea/tick preventative, among a few other things.
Just do some research and only feed what you're comfortable with. Even if we never figure out the "perfect" way to feed raw, our dogs seem to be pretty happy with it. ;) :wub:
ETA: Here is a link to a page that has some info about % of bone in certain cuts/pieces of meat.
I feed my adult dog raw and when I run out of kibble I'm changing my pup over as well. I buy prepared meals for pups so I don't have to worry about balancing as much.
But, keep in mind, raw is balanced over time, with variety, if fed in roughly the correct proportions. You don't need a PHD in nutrition to feed a toddler, why do you need one to feed a puppy?
As long as you're feeding roughly the right amounts of fresh, whole food and offering variety, you'll be ok :)
Check out www.rawdogranch.com
Raw feeding is no where near as complicated as it looks on paper(and as some people will tell you) and there is no issue with feeding raw to puppies, in fact it's much healthier for them because they grow much slower on raw which is better for their joints, etc. Puppies are much easier to switch and you can just switch cold turkey, I did that with my adult dogs too... No need to slowly transition.
Like mesonoxian listed above, if you're on Facebook(or making an account to just join this group) I highly recommend joining the raw feeding community group... They really are a much better resource for raw feeding then this forum and you can get answers much faster. They also have a huge list of files with info on how to get started and with almost 8,000 members there are sure to be people in your area to help you out!
The main thing is just to make sure you're feeding the proper ratios(like mesonoxian listed above) and feeding a wide variety of proteins(minimum 3-4 but more is better) and to make sure the bulk of the diet is red meat. Even though chicken is cheap it will not provide a balanced diet on it's own in fact they don't even need it but most people use it because it's cheap.
This is bar none my favorite starter guide: http://www.chanceslittlewebsite.com/...l_raw_rv.7.pdf
Facebook group, I'd join only this group as there are some raw feeding groups that are not helpful and very rude to new comers...

the process of giving birth to a baby at home and without the help of a doctor, midwife or other medical professional
'But what about those who decide to go one step further and give birth without any medical help whatsoever? These women are choosing freebirth and there is now a growing on-line community of freebirthers sharing their opinions and experiences.'Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 4 16th August 2007
'I have not freebirthed my children, however I have supported a client in her birthing journey which resulted in the most amazing birth of her fourth child at home into the arms of his father. So, my question is, have you freebirthed or have you supported somebody freebirthing?'Your Birth Your Way 12th October 2007
'Canadian doctors warn against freebirthing … The small but troubling faction of "do-it-yourself" childbirth advocates who encourage unassisted childbirth are courting danger, warns the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada.'CTV, Canada 21st June 2007
For many women, giving birth to a baby is one of the most significant experiences of their lives, combining some of the most intense physical and emotional sensations. In developed nations, the majority of women go through this experience in a highly managed environment, either within a hospital setting or accompanied by midwives at home. However, inspired by the idea that childbirth is a natural, rather than a medical, process, a growing minority are opting to give birth to their babies without any professional help whatsoever, an approach now referred to as freebirth.
underpinning the concept of freebirth is the ethos that childbirth is a natural process and not a medical emergency
Freebirth, also often called unassisted childbirth, is the process of giving birth to a baby away from a hospital, usually at home, and without the presence of any medical staff or professional birth attendants. (This contrasts with home birth, which is a birth at home but with a midwife.) The expression is only used where a woman has made a definite choice to give birth without medical assistance, and not because she has given birth unexpectedly or in an emergency situation. Coined freebirthers, most women choosing this option would be accompanied by either their partner, a member of the family, or close friend, though some choose to give birth completely alone.
Underpinning the concept of freebirth is the ethos that childbirth is a natural process and not a medical emergency. Proponents also argue that childbirth is a private thing, so the presence of medical professionals, who are usually strangers, is unnatural, and can actually have a negative influence on the speed and progression of labour, because women feel less relaxed.
Women who choose freebirth often educate themselves about the birth process so that they have some level of preparation for unexpected complications. Many also choose to have conventional antenatal care so that any risk factors or complications can be identified before the birth. However, critics say that freebirth is not as safe as its proponents claim, pointing to infant mortality rates in poorer countries where there is a lack of qualified birth attendants, and also the high death rates associated with childbirth before the advent of modern medicine.
You can find out more about freebirth at this dedicated website.
Freebirth is a recently-coined synonym for the more formal expression unassisted childbirth, often abbreviated to UC. The expression unassisted childbirth was coined by Laura K. Shanley, a freelance writer, childbirth advisor, and author of a book of the same name (Unassisted Childbirth, Greenwood Press, 1993). Shanley had been inspired by Grantly Dick-Read (1890–1959), a British obstetrician thought of by many as the father of the natural childbirth movement.
The new noun freebirth follows the grammatical pattern of birth, used both countably (e.g. unplanned freebirths are very dangerous) and uncountably (e.g. the growing trend for freebirth), and with a noun derivative freebirthing. It has also spawned a related noun freebirther to refer to proponents, and a verb to freebirth, used both intransitively and transitively, for example: She freebirthed all our four children.
