By Chris Harris
Wojciech Szczesny believes the gap between Manchester City and Arsenal is smaller than the Premier League table would have you believe.
David Silva's second-half strike took Roberto Mancini's side back to the top of the pile on Sunday and left Arsène Wenger's team 12 points adrift in fifth place.
Szczesny did make a number of notable saves to deny City further goals at the Etihad Stadium but his opposite number was just as busy with Joe Hart thwarting Aaron Ramsey, Gervinho and Thomas Vermaelen among others.
"I don't think there is a big gap between the teams in terms of quality," concluded Szczesny.
"They just got the winning goal and that was the difference. But we showed on Sunday that we are just as good as the richest team and possibly, at the moment, the best team in the league so that gives us confidence we can beat everyone else.
"I thought it was a very good game of football," he added. "Both teams played well and were very positive. It looked like the first team to score was always going to win the game and unfortunately for us it happened for them.
"I am very disappointed about the result but there were lots of positives to take out of the game. We created chances and played very well so we are confident going into the Christmas period that we can get the results."
Arsenal can ill-afford another defeat if they are to get their Premier League challenge back on track but the title picture can change quickly with four games in 12 days during a busy festive period.
"At the moment, it is too big a gap [to Man City] but we hope we can make it smaller and then realistically we can talk about challenging for the title," said Szczesny.
"City will drop points. They lost against Chelsea, who are a good side that seem to have got their confidence back now. We are confident, playing well while they are on top of the league but Man United are catching up. Everyone can win it still."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

3. I wish she could speak Spanish.
4. I wish she would speak Spanish.
5. She has to see the director.
6. She doesn't have to see the director.
7. I'd already read the book that I bought.
Thanking you,

Ad-hoc polymorphism
From HaskellWiki
A value is polymorphic if, depending on its context, it can assume more than one type. If the value is specified separately for each type it can have, this is called ad-hoc polymorphism, also known as overloading. Ad-hoc polymorphic values may be used at a limited number of pre-specified types.
For instance, in C++, the addition operator may be used on any numeric type, like int or float, and may be applied to new types provided you write a definition for it using those types as arguments. The range of possible types of + in C++ is limited to those built-in and those for which the programmer has provided a definition. Similarly, in C, the operator + may operate on int or float or pointers. However, the programmer cannot supply their own definitions, and only the built-in types can be used.
In Haskell, type classes are used as a mechanism for "principled overloading", i.e. ad-hoc polymorphism. For instance, the following function:
show :: (Show a) => a -> String
may adopt any of the following types:
Int -> String Float -> String (Maybe Int, String, Either Char Float) -> String

WSJ editorial falsely claimed Abu Ghraib report absolved senior officials
An April 27 Wall Street Journal editorial [1] claimed that the Schlesinger report on the Abu Ghraib prison abuses concluded that they "weren't related to interrogations at all" and that "[t]hat should have put the nail in the coffin of the theory that high-level Bush Administration discussions about techniques for handling al Qaeda detainees somehow resulted in the abuses in Iraq." In fact, the Schlesinger report, compiled from an independent inquiry headed by former Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger, explicitly states that abuses did occur during interrogations. In addition, the report includes evidence that policy decisions by President Bush and political appointees in the Pentagon and Justice Department contributed to the abuse.
While the report does state that the photographed abuses at Abu Ghraib were "not part of authorized interrogations," it goes on to report that other non-photographed abuses "did occur at interrogation sessions." From the report [2]:
The pictured abuses, unacceptable even in wartime, were not part of authorized interrogations nor were they even directed at intelligence targets. ... However, we do know that some of the egregious abuses at Abu Ghraib which were not photographed did occur at interrogation sessions and that abuses during interrogation sessions occurred elsewhere [p. 5].
Furthermore, The New York Times reported [3] on April 28 that the Army planned to issue a revised interrogations manual that was created in response to the Abu Ghraib scandal. According to the Times:
The Army is preparing to issue a new interrogations manual that expressly bars the harsh techniques disclosed in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal, and incorporates safeguards devised to prevent such misconduct at military prison camps in the future, Army officials said Wednesday. The new manual, the first revision in 13 years, will specifically prohibit practices like stripping prisoners, keeping them in stressful positions for a long time, imposing dietary restrictions, employing police dogs to intimidate prisoners and using sleep deprivation as a tool to get them to talk, the officials said. Those practices were not included in the manual in use when the bulk of the abuses occurred at Abu Ghraib in Iraq in the fall of 2003, but neither were they specifically banned."
The Journal also asserted that its own claim about interrogations, falsely attributed to the Schlesinger panel, "should have put the nail in the coffin of the theory that high-level Bush Administration discussions about techniques for handling al Qaeda detainees somehow resulted in the abuses in Iraq." In fact, Schlesinger's report documents how senior military officers in Iraq promulgated an unlawful interrogation policy based on confusion resulting from Bush's decision that certain detainees were so-called "enemy combatants" not subject to the Geneva Conventions. The Schlesinger report found that interrogation techniques that the Pentagon approved for use at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, "migrated" to Iraq, even though the White House repeatedly stated [4] that Iraqi detainees were entitled to protections under the Geneva Conventions, unlike suspected terrorists captured in Afghanistan, whom the Pentagon detained and interrogated at Guantánamo.
In February 2002, Bush decided [5] that Guantánamo detainees were not entitled to protections under the Geneva Conventions. Bush's decision was based on legal opinions [6] from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), which then-White House Counsel Alberto R. Gonzales summarized in a late-January memo [7] for Bush, in which he wrote that Secretary of State Colin Powell "has requested that you reconsider that decision."
In April 2003, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld approved policy guidelines [8] setting out 24 specific interrogation techniques for Guantánamo. The Schlesinger report states that the Pentagon working group that developed these guidelines "relied heavily on the OLC," [p. 35] which had also drafted the infamous "torture memo [9]" arguing that the president has the authority to order torture in certain circumstances.
The Schlesinger report [p. 9 [2]] chronicles how in August 2003, the Pentagon sent Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, a commander at Guantánamo Bay, to Iraq to assess interrogations at Abu Ghraib. The report noted that Miller took the Pentagon's April 2003 policy guidelines for interrogating Guantánamo terror detainees to Iraq "as a possible model for the command-wide policy." A month later, the senior commander in Iraq, Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, drew on these guidelines when he approved techniques that applied to Abu Ghraib.
The report also noted that the counterterrorism task force relied on Bush's February 2002 decision -- which was supposed to apply only to "enemy combatants" -- to justify their use of impermissible techniques:
MG Miller had indicated his model was approved only for Guantánamo. However, CJTF-7 [Combined Joint Task Force 7], using reasoning from the President's Memorandum of February 7, 2002, which addressed "unlawful combatants," believed additional, tougher measures were warranted because there were "unlawful combatants" mixed in with Enemy Prisoners of War and civilian and criminal detainees" [p. 37].

text: Pretty much every post I've made regarding *this* team this year has been out of anger - - - blasting Joe-D for mistakes he made this off-season and previously. Well, I think it's pretty safe to assume that we're going to have a new general manager/front-office and head-coach/staff heading into this off-season. So, let's let go of the past. Clean slate. Fresh start. Forward, pragmatic, thinking. How do we fix this team? What do we have (and let's keep the discussion to starters, for now)? #1) Andre Drummond. He's 20 years old. He has the potential to be the best defensive big man in the league. He has the potential to be, at least, one of the better offensive big men in the game. He has the potential to be the best rebounding big men in the game. He's one of the most athletic big men in the league. He's a great intangibles guy. He's our franchise player. Our building block. Our cornerstone. And we need to invest in him. We need to build our team around him and his talents. And, I think, we need to bring in a really great big man coach to teach him the finer points.. to really refine his offensive post-game. I love 'Sheed. And I'm not sure he isn't the right man for that role. But I'm also not sure that he is the right man for that role. #2) Josh Smith. He's 28, in his prime, as opposed to approaching or past it. He's one of the most athletic 4's in the league. He's one of the best defensive 4's (or anti-LeBron 3's) in the league, when he wants to be. He's super talented offensively, and while not a great three-point shooter, definitely a guy who's talented enough to spread things out on that end. All kidding aside, he really does fit in perfectly with Andre. He just needs to be motivated, by a great head coach he respects. #3) Greg Monroe. He doesn't fit in with this team, with Andre. Still though, IMO, he's a top-10 center in the league. He's young. He's a great intangibles guy. And I think he's worth a lottery pick, or another player of comparable value. #4) We've got either our top-8 pick this year, or our - likely - lottery pick next year. What do we need? (again, limiting the discussion to starters for now): Basically.. we need a starting PG, a starting SG and a starting SF. Team/basketball city like Detroit, all three of these guys need to be plus-level defenders of their positions, plus-level high-effort guys, plus-level intangibles guys. For spacing purposes, you'd hope that all three are a threat from 3-pt land. For running with Dre and JSmith purposes (and also defensively), you'd hope that all-three can run the court well and pass - - especially our point guard. You'd hope that at least one of them is an All-Star-level scorer, and that at least one of the other two is an above-average NBA scorer. IF we can keep that top-8 pick this year, I think we can address 1/3 issues via the '14 draft. I think we can trade Monroe for a pick or a player to address the 2nd/3 issues. And we're going to have enough cap-space to sign a max-level player (since we're not resigning Monroe) to address the 3rd/3 issues. So, let's talk players. Below are the prospects of interest projected in the top-15 of the '14 draft. Free Agents. Trade Targets. Let's talk. SF: A. Wiggins. J. Parker D. Saric SG: G. Harris PG: D. Exum M. Smart T. Ennis

I have no idea. You need to check your state's CC laws.
This is a discussion on Can I take a concealed gun to a private community board meeting, I have a permit. within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I am a board member in a private community and I would like to know if I can take a concealed weapon to my meetings? ...
I am a board member in a private community and I would like to know if I can take a concealed weapon to my meetings?
I have a concealed carry permit.
I have no idea. You need to check your state's CC laws.
I have no idea. Ask someone in your local Sheriff's or Police office.
I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.
Welcome to the forum. One of the best sources for this type of information is:
Click on your state in the map and check to see where your state restricts concealed carry. Be aware that there are also federal restrictions concerning schools and federal govenment buildings such as post offices.
There is nothing in FL's list of prohibited places that includes a HOA meeting or such. Your "private community" may have rules concerning firearms, but they carry no legal weight.
(12)(a) A license issued under this section does not authorize any person to openly carry a handgun or carry a concealed weapon or firearm into:
1. Any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05;
2. Any police, sheriff, or highway patrol station;
3. Any detention facility, prison, or jail;
4. Any courthouse;
5. Any courtroom, except that nothing in this section would preclude a judge from carrying a concealed weapon or determining who will carry a concealed weapon in his or her courtroom;
6. Any polling place;
7. Any meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special district;
8. Any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof;
9. Any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms;
10. Any elementary or secondary school facility or administration building;
11. Any career center;
12. Any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose;
13. Any college or university facility unless the licensee is a registered student, employee, or faculty member of such college or university and the weapon is a stun gun or nonlethal electric weapon or device designed solely for defensive purposes and the weapon does not fire a dart or projectile;
14. The inside of the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport, provided that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, which firearm is encased for shipment for purposes of checking such firearm as baggage to be lawfully transported on any aircraft; or
15. Any place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law.
The history of some of these "board meetings" has demonstrated the need to carry a concealed weapon.

OP: The state statutes don't appear to cover such private group meetings (from the earlier post) and FLA apparently holds such signage or dictates to have no force of law, at least insofar as trespass goes. But, as with an educational institution that hinges your continued enrollment on following their rules, an HOA type group might well have lingo in the covenants and procedures dictating penalties (of sorts) for weaponry at meetings. Can't imagine it would amount to much more than a wizzing match, but it's something to consider.

Some of the comments here got my curiosity up regarding Homeowners Associations. Not sure if private community organizations follow the same laws or if they are different. A quick Google check brought up some interesting and scary laws. It seems that in many States these organizations can levy fines or even foreclose on properties when the property owner/ member violate the rules they agreed to when they became members.
Seems that in some States you while you may not be violating any State law you may lose your home for violating your homeowners Associations policy.

A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
However, the likelihood of the author of the covenants being so anti-2a, that they thought to put such wording into the by-laws is remote. Thoroughly reading through your covenants & by-laws and understanding them clearly is always a good idea.

Florida is overrun by the "condo commandos" who will attempt to place large fines for such things as folks displaying the American flag, even those of combat veterans. For those very reasons I crossed the gated communities off my list when I moved here. The gamut of rules can border on the rediculous. For those who choose to live in that lifestyle, it's obey or else.

being a newly elected HOA board member and appointed Treasurer, I will be carrying to all HOA meetings.
May you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're dead
Wow! The "bizzare" rules of some Homeowner and Condo associations are one of the main reasons I'd never live in one of those type of communities! The government intrudes into our lives enough, without letting a group of "citizens" impose their "rules" upon us too! I feel sorry for anyone who has to live that way.

We are now officially Los Angeles South. :smt076
I personally will be voting out my BOS at the next election for the appointment of the new Sheriff.
Our only hope is that the current appointed Sheriff does not get elected when she first runs in 2010. The problem, of course, is the history in Southern California of incumbent Sheriffs getting re-elected.
Spread the word, we will need to speak up at the polls!!!!

since i have been working on attatching my ESB armor to my vest over the last week i have noticed some things:
-the ESB armor is not evenly spaced and actually looks crooked at times.
-the ESB breast and abdomen plates have less space beween them as compared to RTOJ.
-there are times where the left breatplate hangs lower.the promo shots of boba in a bespin corridor you can see it clearly.the deleted scene where boba is escorted by bespin guards to the slave 1 clearly shows this also.
...you may return to your regularly scheduled program...

As Americans celebrate Labor Day 2008, six flags stand in silent salute to the U.S. workforce on Mars. Three of the flags are on spacecraft still exploring Mars. Those include NASA's twin rovers and the Phoenix lander. One of the flags, on Mars Pathfinder, landed July 4, 1997. Two, on the Viking spacecraft, arrived in 1976, the year of the U.S. bicentennial.
This image shows a miniature U.S. flag on the deck of the Phoenix Mars Lander shortly after its arrival near the Martian north pole. View Related Images
The string of successful surface missions has been possible only with the help of other spacecraft. From orbit, those spacecraft have taken spectacular images. They have collected important data about Martian climate and geology. They have carried cameras so powerful they can pinpoint safe places to land. Today, those spacecraft include NASA's Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The European Space Agency's Mars Express joins them.
These and all Mars missions are a testimonial to teamwork and the spirit of exploration.

History and Updates
The Indiana General Assembly has granted the Board of Trustees of The Trustees of Purdue University the power to govern, by regulation and other means, the conduct of students, faculty, employees and others while upon property owned, used or occupied by Purdue University.
An individual may be issued a Persona Non Grata Notification by a University Police Officer that will be in effect for a period of one year for all or part of University Facilities in the following situations:
- Use of University Facilities in a manner inconsistent with the facilities' purpose.
- Disruption of University programs, services or activities.
- Interference with the educational mission of the University.
- Threats or other behaviors that pose a risk to the safety and security of the University community.
- Violation of a specific facility policy.
A Subject who is a Student may be issued a Persona Non Grata Notification for part of University Facilities under the same procedures as any other Subject. A Subject who is a Student may be issued a Persona Non Grata Notification for all University Facilities (including the entire campus) in conjunction with Summary Action or following the conclusion of other Disciplinary Proceedings as outlined in each campus's Regulations Governing Student Conduct.
Violation of a Persona Non Grata Notification may result in an arrest for criminal trespass as stipulated under Indiana Code (IC 35-43-2-2).
In order to maintain a safe environment for the University community, it is necessary to have in place a mechanism by which individuals who demonstrate an inability or unwillingness to conduct themselves in accordance with University policy or applicable laws while in or on University Facilities may be barred from all or part of the University.

The appeal will be forwarded to the senior director for environmental health and public safety or the appropriate designated regional campus official for review and determination.
On subsequent contact with the Subject of a Persona Non Grata Notification who is in violation of the terms of the PNG Notification, an Officer may arrest the offender for criminal trespass, as defined in Indiana Code (IC 35-43-2-2).
If the Subject is arrested, the Officer will generate appropriate documentation.

"These gift tags are beautiful and arrive exactly as pictured. The design is so delicate; perfect for a baby shower which is what I used them for. The one caveat is that the white lettering is a bit difficult to see as the tag is a very pale pink. If I had to do it over again, I would use black, or a darker color, rather than the standard white. It is still very beautiful hence the five stars."
"We loved this label. It match the party invitations we ordered and we used them to personalize our party favors. We wish they came in larger options and other shapes too!"
"This item was a fantastic addition to my nieces birthday. It received praises from everyone as it added a personal touch"
"Excellent quality - make simple presents look more elegant and saves time as no card necessary for all of the nursery school party gifts."
"I ordered these w/the phrase, "Bring Pampers for a chance to be pampered!", as an incentive for my guests to bring a pack of diapers along w/their gift for a chance to be entered into a drawing for a gift certificate to a local nail spa. It was the perfect finishing touch!"

text: Well I admit I lost two swarms last week and haven't had a very clean record in past years either. I like to think a few swarms formally owned by me are still out there. All of the fragmented forest land (and vacant housing form the economy) is making ideal spots for them to nest. I trust a few of the new beekeepers from this years beeginners course have misplaced a few hive packages as well.

Consumer Tips from the
Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor
Water is one of the few commodities people cannot live without, and it is also a commodity many of us may take for granted. Consumers can easily reduce water usage without sacrifice by following a few simple steps. These are some of the tips that can add up to significant savings on your bill, while helping to protect a critical resource.
Leaky faucets, pipes or toilets can waste significant amounts of water and money. Three simple tests should be done regularly:
1. Check all faucets to make sure they do not leak or drip.
Leaky faucets can be fixed inexpensively. Hardware stores, plumbing supply stores and home maintenance books can help.
2. Checking toilets for leaks is very easy.
Toilet leaks can waste hundreds of gallons per day if left un-repaired. However, fixing them is usually simple and inexpensive.
3. Test your meter regularly to ensure that you have no "invisible" water leaks (such as a leak in the buried supply line running to your home or business).
Check toilets for leaks on a regular basis.
A toilet manufactured before 1994 may use thousands of gallons more per year than newer models. Consider either installing a new toilet or placing a "toilet dam" in the tank. If placed properly, a toilet dam can save hundreds of gallons each year.
When purchasing a new toilet, look for the EPA WaterSense label. WaterSense labeled toilets use at least 20 percent less water than standard toilets on the current market, while meeting specific performance criteria.
Do not put trash in the toilet. This not only wastes water, but may also cause problems in sewage systems and septic tanks.
A water-efficient showerhead will pay for itself in a few months.
Taking showers instead of baths will save significant amounts of water. Consider taking shorter showers.
Install flow restrictors in faucets.
Do not leave the faucet running when brushing teeth or shaving.
When washing dishes:
Garbage disposals require large amounts of water. Consider composting food or putting it in the garbage, instead.
If you run the faucet while waiting for water to get hot, consider collecting it in glasses or a pitcher instead of pouring it down the drain. The collected water can be used for other things, such as watering plants, drinking, etc.
If you want cold drinking water, keep a pitcher in the refrigerator.
Do not use running water to thaw meat or other frozen foods. Defrost food in the refrigerator or in your microwave.
Insulate your water heater and maintain it regularly, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Insulate your hot water pipes. If the water stays warm while in the pipes, you will not have to run as much water to get it to the desired temperature.
Wash only full loads of clothing and set your washing machine to the proper water level. Remember that many newer washing machines offer water-efficient features.
Energy-efficient appliances are likely to be water-efficient, too. When shopping for appliances, look for the Energy Star label.
Look for water-efficient models when buying a filtering or water softening system.
Locate the master shut-off valve in your home or business. Be prepared to use it in case of a burst pipe or other emergency.
Water the lawn efficiently, and learn more about home lawn irrigation from Purdue University.
Raise your lawn mower blade to the highest setting, especially during dry weather. Closely cutting the grass makes roots work harder, requiring more water.
When washing the car, use soap and water from a bucket. Use a hose with a shut-off nozzle for the final rinse.
Use a broom to clean off your driveway. If you must use a hose, use one with a high-pressure, on/off nozzle.
Properly-done landscaping can save water.
Some water utilities may offer a "line protection program" for a monthly fee that acts as "insurance" for underground supply lines. A supply line brings the water from the utility's main to an individual home or business and is typically the customer's responsibility. Utilities are generally responsible for lines between main and the meter. If such a program is available and you consider enrolling, make a careful and informed decision, read all of the fine print, and consider the likelihood of leaks in or damage to your supply lines. If you live in a rental property, consult with your landlord and review your lease before enrolling. Landlords are typically responsible for utility lines on their properties.
The OUCC offers more information on line protection programs at www.in.gov/oucc/2656.htm.

don't know what the hell happened to him but he's a straight up moron now, anyone that has been following him knows what I'm talking about.
the liberty movement should disregard him and ban him from all the events
Freedom of markets is positively correlated with the degree of evolution in any society...
Never liked him, but still what did he do?
His market value has just tanked. He is now the equivalent of a junk bond or a penny share.
But yeah, what's he been up to?
I watched a youtube of his about a few weeks ago, and reached a similar conclusion. I don't recall what the video was about, but all I can remember thinking is "this guy has lost his mind!"
@ Jon Irenicus
He recently posted several videos broadcasting sheer arrogance and a huge middle finger in response to Ron Paul's farewell. The man's lost it.
I wonder if he's just becoming more of a slave to his "character" on the show. The badass, cynical rebel. I prefer it when he's just speaking as his "real" self.
I haven't heard him in a bit and not one post in here has actually discussed what he has said.
What has he said? Or done?
here's one vid, pretty much gives a middle finger to Ron Paul's farewell speech
not sure how to embed the vid
Just check out some of his recent YT videos. The man has totally lost it.
Ron Paul ignored Kokesh for the RT controversy. I'm sure Adam took offense to that. Adam does sound like he wants to be controversial and is bitter.
I mean, I was critical of Paul for giving up the campaign in the way that he did, but Adam just wants to stir the pot.
Carry on.
Why all the hostility to Kokesh all of a sudden?
He was a bit disrespectful about Ron Paul's farewell speech, but aren't you guys overreacting a little bit?
Government Explained 2: The Special Piece of Paper
Law without Government
Well, his whole show does seem a little bit whack. He really cultivates his radical side more than his radical intellecutal side.
The farewell video response doesnt even make sense.......
Was he expecting rp to yell and go batshit insane at congress or what?
I think the farewell speech was appropriate.
He couldve been drunk or high when he made that vid. Even if he isnt, its just 1 vid among many others. Hopefully he will produce something of more substance.
"Since people are concerned that 'X' will not be provided, 'X' will naturally be provided by those who are concerned by its absence.""The sweetest of minds can harbor the harshest of men."
I liked when he was confronting the socialist occupy protestors last year but stopped paying attention to him after he was taking bong rips during live interviews... A friend of mine said after he and his gf broke up he posted something about getting all the libertarian girls pregnant or something like that on his facebook which kinda creeped her out.
DMT, brah.
Finally, a breath of fresh air. He's back to 'normal' in this video:

Let me start by saying that commas are hard. There are so many writing circumstances that call for commas, and it's difficult to remember them all. I'm not going to try to cover all of the comma rules—not even close—but I'll give you this one (and also its exceptions):
Use a comma after an introductory element.
I really don't want to get into a lot of grammatical terms and definitions, but I'm sure you understand "introductory element." Here are a few examples of sentences without commas for their introductory elements. See if you can figure out where the commas should go.
1. Although Jan loves her granddaughters she doesn't enjoy working with large groups of children.
2. As the roller coaster came to a stop Jan vowed she would never again come near one.
3. After Piper ate the cotton candy her mouth was sticky and blue.
4. Fortunately my ankle did not break when I tripped down the stairs.
5. Until the electricity comes back on we'll have to use flashlights.
6. A gold bracelet shimmering on her wrist Deb waved frantically to try to hail a passing cab.
7. To make easy-to-peel hard boiled eggs be sure that the eggs are not perfectly fresh.
I'll put the answers at the end of the lesson.
Also of note:
8. If a sentence begins with yes, no, absolutely, well, indeed, (and similar words), use a comma after that word.
9. If a sentence begins by addressing a person, set off the person's name with a comma.
And here are a few exceptions:
10. If a sentence begins with one of the short conjunctions (and, but, so, yet) do not use a comma. Do not use a comma there.
11. Short sentences with short introductory elements do not necessarily need commas. A few examples:
Last night we walked to the park.
By July I hope to lose five pounds.
Luckily this should not be difficult.
(I'll admit that I really want to put commas in the above sentences. The commas wouldn't be wrong, but they're not necessary).
This lesson only scratches the surface of correct comma usage—there are roughly a bajillion comma rules. Feel free to ask me about anything in the lesson, or any other questions you might have about commas.
Answers--In the questions at the beginning of the lesson, the commas should go after the following words:
1. granddaughters
2. stop
3. candy
4. fortunately
5. on
6. wrist
7. eggs

Add the warm and exotic flavors of Morocco to your dinner table with these easy, hearty chicken recipes.
Moroccan Chicken with Almond CouscousUse standard pantry spices such as cumin, cinnamon and paprika to coat the chicken thighs and keep cleanup easy by cooking the chicken and the sauce in the same skillet.
Moroccan Chicken ThighsInspired by North African tagines, this aromatic dish uses skinless, boneless chicken thighs and is ready in a little over an hour.
Quick Moroccan ChickenMake Moroccan cuisine easy with this 15-minute recipe. Use items you already have on hand such as a box of couscous, canned peaches, orange juice and rotisserie chicken.
Moroccan Chicken TagineA tagine is a Moroccan stew featuring meat or poultry that's simmered with vegetables and aromatic spices such as cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and ginger. Serve over couscous for a hearty one-dish meal.
Moroccan Chicken PitaGet out of your lunchbox rut with an easy Middle Eastern-style sandwich featuring grilled chicken, yogurt, carrot and dates, and flavor the sandwich filling with cinnamon and cumin.
Moroccan Chicken with Fruit and Olive ToppingThe pairing of dried fruit and olives is also characteristic of other North African cuisines, such as Tunisian and Algerian. Serve over Israeli couscous, a pearl-like pasta.
Moroccan-Spiced Roasted Chicken with Sweet OnionsEnjoy this roasted chicken baked with honey and accompanied by sweet onions. Add some juice from lemon wedges if desired.
Moroccan Chicken ThighsCook the chicken alongside classic Moroccan ingredients such as olives and figs, and round out the flavor of the dish with Marsala, honey, balsamic vinegar, cumin and cinnamon.
Moroccan Chicken-and-Couscous SoupA mainstay in Morocco, steamed couscous topped with a very liquid stew is undeniably delectable, but it's not exactly quick. This recipe combines all of the same ingredients in a soup that cooks in much less time.
Moroccan Chicken and Potato Salad with OlivesA savory lemon dressing with cumin, paprika, ginger, and oregano gives this salad an exotic flavor. Serve the salad warm or at room temperature.
Spiced Chicken Legs with Apricots and RaisinsThis economical dish features chicken thighs and drumsticks plus pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand: canned chicken broth, garlic, raisins, dried apricots and dried spices.
Moroccan Roasted Pomegranate ChickenPrepare this dish in the fall and winter months when pomegranates are in season. See Ask the Expert for tips on seeding a pomegranate.
Chicken-Mint Couscous with Raisins and ApricotsCouscous is usually served as a side dish, but you can transform it into a one-dish meal by adding chicken, apricots, and raisins.

DONNELLSON, Iowa — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach are again joining forces to present the Annual Forestry Field Day in Lee County on Tuesday, Oct. 2, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The day will get under way with registration and a tree identification walking tour, both taking place at the Ron and Carol Fullenkamp Tree Farm near West Point. The walking tour will be hosted by Jesse Randall, forester with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. The field day program will begin promptly at 9 a.m. with a history of the Fullenkamp's tree farm.
Private woodland owners, public land managers, forestry consultants and service providers, and interested citizens will find the agenda filled with a number of new topics, plus previous field day topics that are priorities for woodland owners. One new feature will be the construction of a stream crossing in the timber. Steve Armstrong, owner of Armstrong Small Engines, will be operating equipment on the site, demonstrating the various steps taken while Gren Brenneman, agricultural engineer with ISU Extension and Outreach, will discuss the process and reasons behind each step.
Other topics to be addressed during field day sessions include: erosion control options, control of invasive plants, chainsaw sharpening the Oregon® way, tree pruning, walnuts – nuts, trees, management, timber harvest and natural regeneration – and pond and fish management. Wendy Wintersteen, dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, will be a special noontime guest as she tours southeast Iowa.
Attendees are encouraged to bring questions, share experiences with fellow participants and take advantage of the resource professionals who will be presenting throughout the day. The goal of the field day is to make attendees more knowledgeable about how to manage tree resources for their many benefits, and more specifically, one's own forested property. Attendees should dress appropriately for the weather as the presentations and demonstrations will take place outdoors.
Pre-registration by Sept. 28 is requested. Pre-register by contacting the Lee County Extension Office at 319 835-5116 or email email@example.com. The registration fee is $15 per person and can be paid the day of the event.
The Ron and Carol Fullenkamp Tree Farm is located at 2545 110th St., West Point, Iowa. To reach the farm from West Point, travel six miles north on X23, then ¾ mile east on 110th Street. From Lowell, travel five miles south on X23, then ¾ mile east on 110th Street. Follow signs to the Fullenkamp driveway entrance.

|1. Paint: Though painting is the cheapest investment you can make, it's also the one with the most dramatic result. Go ahead and put some color on those walls for a fresh — and inexpensive — new look.
|2. Do It Yourself:
There are tasks to home remodeling projects you should not be paying for. One such cost is the end of the day clean up. You can save up to $200 a week on your contracted remodel project if you grab a broom or vacuum and do the cleanup yourself.
|3. Shop Secondhand Stores: Thrift stores, consignment shops, church rummage sales, online auction sites, estate sales and even salvage yards offer a bounty of discount decorating booty. Look for furniture with solid construction and classic lines that new upholstery or paint will bring back to life.
|4. Wait Patiently for Sales and Discounts
Wait to find what you really love at a price you really love. While you shop, ask if items will be discounted any time soon. Store and department managers are usually the best sources for this insider info and may even offer you the discounted price before it goes into effect.
5. Don't play the match game, mix it up
Not only is a "matchy-matchy" look boring, but buying entire suites of furniture tends to cost more than putting together a creative, eclectic look. Mix it up by opting for a couch and chairs upholstered in complementary fabrics, flanking a bed with unmatched night stands and decorating with other diverse items unified by color, form, material and tone. Or try pairing a stately wood table with shiny aluminum or brightly colored plastic chairs. And don't be afraid to mix high-end and low-end or modern and traditional.
|6. Add Unexpected Accessories
Almost anything can serve as an accessory, and that goes for found objects and household items that cost practically nothing. Architectural corbels rescued from a salvage yard make great bookends, while seashells and driftwood collected at the shore create a lovely natural grouping. A bowl filled with crisp green apples lends a bright pop of color to just about any surface, and a stack of vintage hard-backs books adds height, dimension and character to an occasional table.
|7. One man's junk…

Well, I have been doing a lot of poking around here and on the RPF getting different concepts from various builders. I wanted to take a moment to thank azheat, VashDstampede, and Fetthunter for their guidance. My goal is to produce the initial prop for under $300.
I was inspired by the HIC Desk that was made by Tom and Richard. Looking at the high quality of their work, but not the cashflow to afford something of that caliber, I began to have additional thoughts. I'm looking at the possibility of creating it as a desk also with some changes.
The panels on the side where the chair will go will be functional drawers with the panel being the facia. I figured it made sense since they were there to have them functional.
I am also attempting to work with a friend on ideas utilizing acrylic as the base of the desk to give the illusion of HIC hovering (similar to when Boba Fett is transporting him to Slave I in ESB). A friend I've talked to stated that is a unique take on it and will try to give me guidance so it's done right.
Thus far, I have just been gathering some of the parts:
Solo Face: $48 from Fetthunter
Posable Hands: $39 from Bargainboy's Buy-Outs (Ebay)http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=290281383149
Upper Torso: $28 from Displayforms (Ebay) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=200154045943
I hope to be able to create something that meets up to the expectations that many of the builders have done before me. I'll post progress reports here, and I would love any kind of input/advice from the veteran HIC builders.

|MK1 Interior Mods & Upgrades The place to chat about performance gauges, shifter knobs, custom interior paint, car seats or any interior upgrades for the 2000-2007 Focus.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
awesome man and thank you for the amazing reply! that will help me a ton once i can find a damn harness. I have had the interior torn out of my car for almost two months now i cannot find a car that has everything i want.. :( but i am also doing a lot of custom work to go along with the harness swap. I will post a build thread when i am done with everything.
does anyone have a harness that they would be willing to part with?
If your car has power nothing, you will for sure need everything. No cars were "pre-wired". They are wired for only the options they came with from the factory, therefore if you have no power, and want to add power windows and locks, you will need absolutely everything I listed above from a focus that had the options you want.
i was under the impression that some of the foci were prewired minus the doors.
I just plan on adding pwr windows and pwr locks. So i have all the internals of the door and i thought that all i needed now was the gem and door inserts. so how far off am i??
|Someone give this poster a rep point already! Good answer.
Power Accessory Swap How-To
I've did the swap two years ago.
My 03 had manual windows/locks/mirrors.
After the swap, it had power windows/locks/mirrors and keyless entry.
Here are some things to consider before you do the swap:
*This swap DOES NOT require cutting of any wiring in any shape or form. It is a true bolt on upgrade. NO "modification" of your vehicle is needed, it is simply a "bolt in" parts swap. It is a very timely and tedious process, and you NEED to take your time.
*Use a donar focus of the same body style. ZX3 for ZX3, Sedan for Sedan.
*When picking a donar car, find a car that has all of the options you could ever want. This way you will never have to replace the harness if you wish to add more factory style upgrades later.
*Verify your seats match. Make sure if you chose a donar car that has seats with airbags, that your seats also have airbags. If your car does not, you will also want to swap your seats to airbag seats.
*You WILL remove the entire interior except for your dash. If you are wanting to upgrade any other parts of you Focus (stereo, seats, interior pieces) NOW is the time do swap those.
I had a zx3, and did the swap using a totaled SVT ZX3. For my swap, I had to use the SVT GEM, and SVT seats, and SVT airbag control module. My SVT donar also had a factory moonroof, so I had to tuck this wiring, as it was not used.
Here is the process.
First, go to a junkyard and source your parts. You WILL need the following. Trust me I've done the research.
*Interior harness. This harness runs throughout the entire vehicle. It starts at a junction box on the driver's interior kick pannel, and run throughout the interior of the vehicle. It goes from the junction box, to the dome light, to each door frame, to the rear speakers(ZX3) (speaker harness will be included in the door harness connector on a 4 door), to the taillight harness.
*Door harnesses. There is one for each door. It will have the switch connector, door lock actuator connector, window regulator connector, and mirror connector (front doors) The drivers door harness will have a little green relay attached. This is the 1 touch down control for the driver's window, so make sure it is left on your harness when you salvage from your donar car.
*Door lock actuators (whole striker assembly)
*Power Window regulators
*Switches for each door
*Interior door trim to hold switches
*GEM module from donar car
*Airbag control module
*Power mirrors
NOTE: I recommend getting as much as this stuff from one donar car as possible. You NEED to get the interior wiring harness, airbag control module (located under the center consol), and the gem module from the same vehicle. These parts all have matching parts number they need to work together. If you get the wrong GEM, you may not have functional control over all the parts you want (i.e. windows may not work). If you get the wrong airbag module, it will 1. not fit in your harness, 2. cause an airbag light, and your airbags to not function, or 3. will cause your airbags to deploy because a sensor may or may not be included in the improper harness.
Now that you have all of your parts, the install process is very simple, just very labor intensive. I started at 8 am, and I finished around 6 pm. I have a pretty good knowledge of what I was doing, and already had taken the interior out a few times, so it may take you longer. I would recommend having two days set aside for the install, and a secondary means of transportation durring those days. This way you can take your time, and not miss any steps. Finding out something was wrong on this project can mean a whole lot of time to fix a mistake.
1. Remove your interior. You will want to remove the entire interior except for the dash. Seats, trim, carpet, consol, all of it. Keep track of your screws.
2. Once you have your interior removed, you can start the removal of the factory interior harness. Like i said before, it goes from junction box located at the driver's kick pannel, and goes to the dome light, each door frame, the airbag module, and to the taillight harness. I recommend laying the new harness in the vehicle, then replacing the factory one with your salvaged one as you go. This way you remember where all the clips and wires go and run. Replace your airbag module while you are changing the harness.
3. Now it is time to replace your GEM module. This is located on a bracket on top of the ecm of the focus. This is located under the glovebox. Simply remove the factory one and replace with your salvaged one.
4. Now that you have your new interior harness installed, and your airbag module replaced with the new one, start with the driver's door. You need to install the the door latch (piece that grabs the striker) as this is where the lock actuator is located. Note: you do not want to replace the handle part of the vehicle. Use your original with the new latch piece so you can maintain your factory door lock tumbler and use of factory key. You will need to swap out the window regulator as well. Also, you have gone this far, so I would swap to power mirrors while you have the door apart.
5. Now move to the next door, and repeat the door process. Continue until you are finished with all the doors.
6. Now hook your battery up, and try out everything. Simply plug your switches in and run through all of the functions. Make sure all doors lock, windows go up and down, no airbag light, mirrors move, and taillights work correctly.
7.Once you have verified everything functions correctly, you will want to reinstall your interior. Then you have completed the factory power options swap.
8.Go drive and enjoy!
Use the how to section to look up specific part swaps. There will be how tos on removing every part of the interior, how to swap the regulators and actuators. Just follow each one of these when you get to this step in the process.
If you have more questions let me know. There is a lot to consider, and it will be a rather big project. Nothing is very challenging, but you should have some good mechanical knowledge before your try it. I do not take any responsibility for you modifying your car. Do your research, make sure you are using all the parts that match together.
|no one on this site has done a power swap before?
|anyone any clue?
|so i took some time the other day to start checking things out on my car to do the swap and i looked behind the glove box and the locking and alarm module is already there but yet i do not have power locks or windows and then i checked in the harness going into the door on both sides of the molex connector and there were only two wires going into the door (im sure they are speaker wire.) that being said do you know if the lock module goes through the ECU and will i need to switch the ecu also when i pull the harness out of another car?
|that would defiantly be awesome of you.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- General Information (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/)
- - Why am I starting to see more and more dogs in the grocery stores? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-information/450993-why-am-i-starting-see-more-more-dogs-grocery-stores.html)
Why am I starting to see more and more dogs in the grocery stores?
I honestly don't ever remember seeing dogs in grocery stores. I know I've read a lot on these dog forums about service dogs, but the dogs I'm seeing don't have on any vest or anything. I was at Whole Foods in Boise and some older lady was walking a lil Foo Foo dog (Yorkie, maybe?) on a leash down the aisle. I approached a worker and mentioned it, and he just shrugged his shoulders like there was nothing he could do. He said non-service dogs are not allowed due to sanitation reasons, and then he went back to stocking the shelves. I was just at my base commissary and saw a family (husband, wife, kids) with a black Lab on a leash in the frozen food section. Again, I went to a worker and asked them about their policy, and they said only service dogs were allowed. He also mentioned that he didn't see the dog, who had now already checked out and left.
I love my dogs, and would love to take them anywhere and everywhere. I appreciate stores like Home Depot, Lowes, PetSmart and Petco for allowing me to take my dogs in there. I know there are people who have posted on here that they like to challenge "the system", and if a store doesn't have any signs on their door saying "No Dogs" then they will just bring their dog right in, regardless of what type of store it is. Maybe this is starting to catch on like a wildfire?
I'm no service dog expert, and I always try to give the person the benefit of the doubt, so maybe they have documentation in their purse to prove it's a service dog (since it's not wearing a vest or any other visible proof showing it's a SD) and not just a pet or emotional companion? Is it against the law to ask them about why their dog is in the grocery store? Why do the store workers seem so helpless and afraid to do anything? Both workers told me dogs are certainly NOT ALLOWED, but then they just allow them to be in there anyways.
Two dogs spotted in a month's time, after going 39 years without ever seeing a dog in a grocery store is kind of odd, don't ya think!?!
I'll just suggest that the US population is now way more sick than in years past. I'll also suggest that dogs are now trained for more tasks than ever before when dogs were just for the blind. I'll also say Federal Law does not absolutely require vest, ID, or flashing neon sign.
Now -- There are two questions business owners and employees can ask people that come into their businesses with dogs.
1. Is that a service dog?
2. What task is the dog trained to do?
That's it. You cannot ask why a person needs a service dog or what their disability is. You cannot ask them if the dog is certified as a service dog or require them to show a certificate or other paperwork (that's because there is no official certification for service dogs, and because anyone can buy a certificate for their dog on the internet even if they aren't disabled and their dog has no training whatsoever, so showing you a certificate of some kind would be completely meaningless). You cannot require that they have their dog demonstrate the tasks it can perform for them.
Asking anything other than those two questions above is a violation of a person's rights under the Americans with Disability Act. If you or your employees violate the ADA, you may find your business faced with hefty fines. As stated in: What Questions Can Business Owners Ask People with Service Dogs? - Yahoo Voices - voices.yahoo.com dated Dec. 2013.
Do I think in the instances you cited people are working the system? Well, very likely, or maybe not.
I hope I didn't sound arguing or anything -- I just thought I would answer since no one had.
I think in some (maybe most) cases in my touwn it's just an issue that most folks believe the rules don't apply to them.
I have a really hard time thinking that kitten I saw carried in the grocery section at Walmart yesterday was supporting/serving anybody. The woman wasn't even hiding it well, not that she could with it squalling like it was.
There are a lot of people who want to take their dogs everywhere, and so they sign up for "registration" websites and stuff so they can get vests and information cards.
For actual service dogs, no vests or harnesses are required. Just a legal disability and for the dog to provide tasks for a dog.
HOWEVER... also according to the laws, if a service dog is being unruly, businesses do have the right to refuse service, just like they would if a human was being unruly, without the service dog.
So... while service dogs that complete a task for an invisible disability are becoming more common as more and more people realize it's an option, I think there are also some people who see them without vests or certification and think "oh, I can take my dog here too!"... when that's not the case.
I am training my own service dog for when I have my recurrent episodes of major depression. 6-10 months out of the year I am fine and have no need for her. And then an episode hits. I have lost jobs because of it, my hygiene goes out the window, I have a lot of trouble completing even simple tasks such as making sure I take a shower at some point during a week, or get out of bed long enough to get food. My dog, when fully trained, is not expected to force me to do those things. I have to physically get up and do them. But having a dog that will pull me up if I ask, fetch medication and a bottle of water for me, ground me when I'm dissociating on top of the depression, and provide a tactile alarm when my other alarms go off, as well as other tasks... it's extremely helpful to me. What seems like an insurmountable obstacle now seems a bit easier because I have help.
But... my dog will very rarely be used for public access. Only during those episodes, and only if I'm likely to dissociate. Because while most of my dissociative episodes (which only happen during a depressive episode... hard to explain) happen when I'm alone due to the lack of activity around me... I have had them while in hotel rooms with my college equestrian team event and once during a class I was in.
I have support from my doctors.... but all this to say that while I have a disability that may support my need to have my dog with me at all times... I don't want to impose on people, so when she's fully trained, she will only be going with me to places if I feel like things are really bad... otherwise, she stays home, because with my illness, I really only need her at home.
So... I have read up on disability laws. Both the ADA and my state laws regarding service animals. And so many people haven't... and think it's "OK"... when they don't have a disability. But know enough to know that most stores are not allowed to even ask what your disability is. So they take their dogs with them into said places. Frustrating for those who need their dogs 24/7, and are denied access because of these people.
Home Depot Canada banned non-service dogs from their stores several years ago after a shih tzu bit off part of an employee's nose. Some store managers still turn a blind eye, and employees often don't want to confront customers either way. I'm kind of jealous when I hear other Canadians talking about taking their dogs to places like this to get experience. My local HD even put up big signs banning dogs from the outdoor garden centre after I took my puppy in there once.
This, this is correct. Basically the rule is, if it's not bothering anyone, they can't say anything, but when I see a small dog doing nothing but cheating the system, I like to tell the manager to ask what task it does, if the answer is "uhhhh" like it normally is, the are required to leave, also call the police, but that is just me, I have a real service dog, people cheating the system make me sick.

I just saw a small white poodle in my local grocery store yesterday....I was kind of curious as to the service this dog provided...
No big deal...the dog was well minded.
what a crock, non service dogs do not belong in grocery stores.
i don't want to sound like a jerk but i feel some service dogs are over prescribed and over abused like handicapped parking permits. i'm sorry but one of the last national news stories was a vet missing part of a leg and was wearing a prostetic. he was asked to leave or explain why he needed the dog. he was walking so fine people couldn't tell any disability. he said in a news interview that the dog was a service dog to turn lights on and off and open and close doors. you do those actions with your arms and his were fine. i can understand having a dog turn the wall switch light off for you if you're not wearing your expensive leg while in your house. the dog wasn't doing anything for him in starbucks. i would like to see the surveillance video, i'm sure he opened the door to get in with his hand and didn't turn the lights off in starbucks.
You don't sound like a jerk to me at all....quite the opposite actually.
It's the same old BS which is becoming more prevalent everyday....
We all just need to remember that there are those to whom the rules to not apply....you know the type....same losers who abuse handicapped parking permits, get on airplanes before their section is called, so they can clog up the aisle, dog owners who don't pick up their dogs crap at dog parks..etc. Too many pigs out there who only care about themselves and don't care about the wake they leave in life.
Whoops...did that sound like I was venting ?????

'The fitness situation is very satisfying'
By Chris Harris
Arsene Wenger has praised Arsenal's injury prevention work as he prepares for Sunday's FA Cup tie with virtually a fully-fit squad.
Abou Diaby and Andre Santos returned to training on Thursday ahead of the third-round clash with Swansea City, leaving just Lukasz Fabianski (ankle) on the injured list.
"Overall the [fitness] situation is very satisfying," Wenger told Arsenal.com.
"Even when you start the season, usually you have an injury. We had Tomas Rosicky coming back injured from the European Championships. [Having everybody fit] is something we really enjoy.
"We are doing more work on [injury prevention] and it certainly plays a part. It's difficult to say how much, but the prevention has become a bigger part of our training methods."
Diaby and Santos will not be considered for Sunday's trip to the Liberty Stadium but they could return to action soon.
"The first step will be to assess how much they can absorb training with the squad," said Wenger. "After [that, it will be] to get them back to match-fitness level. It's difficult to predict how much time that will take. But it can be relatively short."
Here's our picture gallery of Abou, Andre and the squad training at Emirates Stadium on Thursday

If you are in a hurry or just haven't thought ahead, the Vinturi works, just not always as well as the decanter. Some wines need a serious decanting (6-8 hours) and the Vinturi just can't help much in those situations. I like having both, but sometimes I don't use either of them. I typically like to pull the bottle out of the cooler , uncork it and let it breath in the bottle while we are cooking dinner. That method generally works for me, but some wines just need a little bit more.
Just a note, I have this decanter and like it a lot. It thick, heavy and sturdy, and aesthetically pleasing. I haven't had any problem with chipping, though there were definitely a few minor imperfections in the glass when it arrived; likely just a result of the hand-blowing process.
Also for all those who have issues cleaning it...just don't leave it out over night? Drink the wine, rinse it out well, and your done.
TY so much this is very helpful!

+1 ordered three times..no issues.
Is there a consensus on whether "Deep punt increases surface area"? I see how it exposes more glass to wine, but I want to expose wine to more air.
NedDawg wrote:Is there a consensus on whether "Deep punt increases surface area"? I see how it exposes more glass to wine, but I want to expose wine to more air.
Only to the extent that the decanter flares outward at the liquid level (which means that the cross-sectional area of decanter is larger at higher liquid levels), and there is enough wine in the decanter to completely submerge the punt. Then the wine will be exposed to more air because the surface area of the wine will be greater. If the punt is not not submerged, the surface area will be less.
It's also not impossible that the punt could create some added aeration during filling if one simply glugs the wine into the decanter. But the punt isn't going to make any difference if the wine is carefully transferred to the decanter.
If one swirls the decanter after transferring the wine to promote aeration, the punt will reduce aeration by hindering bulk mixing of the wine in the decanter during swirling.
In my opinion, aeration is not a consideration in buying the decanter. But get it for the ergonomic punt and the ease of handling.
I know that after going through several more traditional decanters, I punted those and got a somewhat similar that is ergonomic.
Mrs. Chargerrt500 opened hers this morning from Santa. It has a 1/2 etched scratch in the glass. Contacting Woot Santa for a replacement.
gave this as a christmas gift...it was beautiful...perfect gift

Winnipeg, MB (SportsNetwork.com) - The Winnipeg Jets will be without the services of forward Evander Kane for the next month due to an infection in his right hand.
Head coach Paul Maurice told reporters during Tuesday's morning skate that the team will hold Kane out of its remaining six games prior to the NHL's break for the Winter Olympics.
Kane initially hurt his hand while fighting with Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Eric Brewer on Jan. 7, which caused him to miss four games before returning to action last week.
The No. 4 overall pick of the 2009 NHL Draft ranks third among Winnipeg players with 15 goals this season despite sitting out 12 games. Kane previously missed time with a lower-body injury in early December.
