@VOL_HOOPS REPORT: Cavs' methodical style presents challenges
The Tennessee basketball team (7-4) puts the finishing touches on 2013 Monday when it hosts Virginia (9-3) at 7 p.m. ET at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The game - which concludes a two-year, home-and-home contract between the Vols and Cavs - will be televised nationally on ESPN2 and also will be available via mobile devices on ESPN3 and WatchESPN.com.
Vols head coach Cuonzo Martin met with reporters prior to Saturday's practice and spoke about the challenges the Cavaliers present.
"They're physical and they play defense without fouling," Martin said. "But they make you work when they're on offense as well. They move the ball, and they might take 25 seconds of the shot clock. So you're strong-side and your weak-side defense needs to be tough. You need to be locked in.
"When the shot clock runs down, for them that's normal. They still execute their offense. For most teams, when the shot clock runs down, that's panic mode."
Virginia limits its opponents to just 62.7 possessions per game - only six teams in all of Division I allow fewer than that. The Cavs also are giving up only 54.2 points per game.
Through its first 11 contests, Tennessee is averaging 64.5 possessions per game. The Big Orange score 73.8 points per game.
Limiting turnovers and making good decisions in shot selection will be keys for the Volunteers against the Cavs' methodical style of play.
"If you come down on the offensive side of the ball and shoot it quick, they'll grind you out on the offensive end when they get the ball back," Martin said. "So you have to be mentally locked in from start to finish."
Tennessee guard Josh Richardson told reporters Saturday that getting baskets in transition may be an effective way for the Vols score against a Virginia team that allows fewer than 55 points per game.
"They are a team that tries to make you take a whole lot of time off the shot clock and take contested shots every time down," Richardson said. "If we could get some 5-on-4 (opportunities), that would be to our advantage.
"I like when the court is real spread out, and I have lanes to drive in. I like when we get in transition. It's a lot easier because guys aren't set in their defense, and you have to take advantage."
Richardson also acknowledged, however, that the Vols are prepared to operate against Virginia's set defense in the half court.
"They like to pack the lanes a lot. They play gaps, so it will be kind of hard to penetrate," Richardson said. "We will have to spread the floor. We will have to get it inside to Jeronne (Maymon) and Jarnell (Stokes) to let them do their thing, but if they have to kick it back out, we have to hit shots."
Richardson is coming off a season-high 19-point performance in Tennessee's Dec. 23 home win over Morehead State, during which he shot 8-for-13.
In addition to last season's hardwood clash in Charlottesville, Va., in which Virginia prevailed by a score of 46-38, a few members of the Tennessee program share other ties with some of the Cavaliers.
Stokes and UVA big man Mike Tobey were roommates this past summer on the USA Basketball Men's U19 National Team, which won gold at the FIBA U19 World Championship in Prague, Czech Republic. The Americans went undefeated at 9-0. Stokes started all nine games and averaged 7.2 points and 4.6 rebounds. Tobey appeared in eight games and averaged 4.8 points and 4.8 rebounds.
"(Tobey) is very skilled for his height," Stokes said of his Team USA frontcourt mate. "We've talked a lot of trash about this upcoming game. I don't think (Tobey) is starting, but I know they have depth on their team. They have about three of four bigs who could come in and start."
Additionally, Cavs senior Akil Mitchell joined Vols senior Jordan McRae at the LeBron James Skills Academy this past summer. Mitchell and McRae were among a small, select group of collegians invited to take part in the event.
Mitchell, who is 6-8, 235 pounds, had 13 points and 12 rebounds against the Vols last season in Charlottesville.
"Virginia has athleticism," Martin said. "They have guys who can score, they have length, they can block shots, they run the floor."
Even Martin and Virginia head coach Tony Bennett have some history together. Martin was an assistant coach for the 2011 USA Basketball Men's World University Games National Team. Bennett was one of three "court coaches" who assisted during that team's training camp in Colorado Springs, Colo., before the team departed for the Games in China.
Monday's game features three players who appear on the watch lists for both the John R. Wooden Award and the Naismith Trophy - Tennessee's Stokes and Jordan McRae and Virginia's Joe Harris.
Harris is UVA's leading scorer this season, averaging 11.4 points per game.

I'm in the army and we wear shirts called UBACS under are body armour and I thought that it would be really useful to customize a flight suit with a UBACS. I would help keep the wearer cool as well as allow a greater freedom of movement. the best thing about this idea is it wouldn't be seen under the flight suit.

If anyone has tried this idea I'd be interested to hear how well it worked?

You might be wondering why this post has nothing to do with Latin American consumers. Well, in addition to my Latin American research, enterprise feedback management (EFM) is a new and exciting coverage area that I will be addressing to help market research (MR) professionals. My goal is to assist you in finding the right tools and processes that will aid you in making sense of all the copious amounts of information that is collected from all parts of your company regarding consumers and synthesize them into coherent, actionable solutions.
What is EFM? Right now it means several things. From the viewpoint of a customer experience (CXP) professional, it is a tool that can be used to assist in developing a systematic approach for incorporating the needs of one's customers into the design of better customer experiences, or what we call at Forrester voice of the customer (VoC) programs. My colleague Andrew McInnes will be covering EFM, as well, but from the perspective of how CXP professionals can utilize these tools.
For a market research professional, it is also used as a tool, but is not specific to solely collecting customer experience feedback. I see it as an advantage in two main ways.

LORETTO, Pa. - The Quinnipiac University women's lacrosse team won its eighth straight game Sunday afternoon against Saint Francis (PA), 19-6, at DeGol Field. The Bobcats are now 8-0 in Northeast Conference play with a chance to claim its third straight regular season title with a win in its final league game of the season at Sacred Heart on Saturday, April, 17. The win also improves Quinnipiac's record to 9-4 overall. The loss drops the Red Flash to 2-5 in NEC games and 6-9 overall.
"Today we received a good effort from everyone that played," head coach Danie Caro said. "It was really important for us to maintain our intensity, focus, and quality of play heading in the end of the season, and today we did that."
The Bobcats jumped out to an early 3-0 lead. Katie Latonick (Severna Park, Md.) scored the second goal and assisted on the third, scored by Lauren Matuszczak (East Longmeadow, Mass.). After Saint Francis' Catherine Helming cut the deficit to two, 3-1, Matuszczak netted two more tallies in just under two minutes.
The Red Flash's Chelsea Kent scored to make it 5-2, but the Quinnipiac offense took over after that, rattling off eight straight goals to end the period up by ten, 13-3. Latonick, junior Christine Sinnigen (Sudbury, Mass.) and freshman Lianne Toomey (Hicksville, N.Y.) all scored two goals apiece during the final 17:25 of the first half as Latonick finished the first 30 minutes of play with three goals and three assists for six points.
The second half was much more defensive as both teams combined to score just nine goals. Latonick added a goal and an assist in the final 30 minutes to post a game-high eight points in the victory. Sinnigen added a goal in the second half to finish the game with four goals and five points.
Senior Lyndsey Banach (Syracuse, N.Y.) scored once and added an assist on Sinnigen's goal as time elapsed in the first half. Joining Toomey off the bench to add offensive contributions were freshman Jackie Keleher (Manlius, N.Y.) and sophomore Jane Moldovan (Shoreham, N.Y.) with a goal each.
Junior defender Kaitlyn Kelly (North Massapequa, N.Y.) had a goal and an assist for a career-high two points. She also had a career high with five caused turnovers, while adding five ground balls and three draw controls.
"Kaitlyn (Kelly) was outstanding for us today and we also saw strong defensive performances from Lexi DeStefano (Brookfield, N.Y.), Brittany Hauser (East Northport, N.Y.), and Steph Tuorto (Kings Park, N.Y.)," Caro added.
DeStefano turned aside nine shots in the game to earn her seventh NEC win of the season. Danielle Pokusa and Kim Peterson split time in goal, combining for nine saves with eight coming from Peterson.
Quinnipiac returns home to take on Columbia in the final regular season game of the season Wednesday, April 14 at 4 p.m. The Bobcats will then take on Sacred Heart Saturday in Fairfield with the NEC Regular Season title on the line and the right to host the conference tournament.

I LOVE DC because there is so much to do - and most of it is free!! What a fun day :)ReplyDelete
That looks awesome! We will have to plan on taking all the boys next time I come. :-)ReplyDelete
Air & Space was the last Smithsonian museum we went to & I think it was one of my favorites. The only other one I loved as much was American History.ReplyDelete
Have y'all visited Washington's house? I dont think Coop is quite old enough yet, but it's really neat. I wish we had done Jefferson's. I guess that means I have to make a 2nd trip.
One of my favorites, living so close to DC has it's advantages. Have you been to the Zoo? I love having picnics there in the summer.ReplyDelete
It looks like a fun place!ReplyDelete
Glad you all had fun. Nothing like family bonding and learning some history at the same time!ReplyDelete

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by jammertime, Aug 21, 2007.
Perhaps he thought you were the only one who would fall for something like that....
Looking at my record, I can't say I blame him.
Well had you given me the #1 pick like I paid you to, I would already have Sidney Crosby on my team. But since my first pick was like #350, I already ended up with Tom Poti.
I thought you got the first pick. That's right, Super got it...senility ain't pretty.
Jammer only gets the first pick in leagues that he [STRIKE]fixes[/STRIKE] is the commissioner.
Exactly. If I don't get the 1st pick, clearly the draft is broken, so I just fix it.
We've had our highest and lowest scoring totals so far this year in week #3 as well as a couple of very close match-ups and a couple of blowouts. Darth's 141.96 is a very impressive total, while Oz's 34.74 is the lowest completed week total I think I've ever seen (sorry Oz). Darth's Brian Westbrook alone, with 40.1 points, had more than Oz's entire team. Bezeach needs a career game from Marquis Colston and for Deuce McAllister to lay an egg to edge Thee. While I need 10.33 points for Drew Brees tonight to beat Mikhail in the only other undecided match-up and join Laimbeer and #1Pistonfan as the only remaining undefeated teams in the league.
Woody's Ronnie Brown put up 41.1 points (211 yards, 3 TDs, 1 PAT). Unfortunately for Woody, he was on the bench. Woody's 6 guys on his bench put up 91.24 points, enough to beat about half the teams in the league.
RIGHT!!! I learned two things this week: 1) I have a pretty good team: 2) I'm a very poor manager. As Bill noted, my bench is really good!! Unfortunately, I dropped Kitna in favor of Delhomme, and Ronnie Brown is favor of Deshawn Wynn. If I had just left my starters from the first two weeks in the lineup for the third week, I would have had about 150 points and be WAY out in front. It probably won't be the last mistake I make!
I wish I had the same dilemma. I have nobody to chose from to improve my team.
I fixed one thing but completely forgot another. QB is still your biggest point maker.
You would think 10.33 points for Drew Brees would be darn near automatic.... Half-way through the 2nd quarter, Brees has -0.76 points. I wonder if Jammer is getting a little nervous...
Brees has been absolutely GARBAGE so far this year. Luckily he has a bye week next week. Matt Hasselbeck here we come! Heck, at this point, I'd rather start Elisabeth Hasselbeck over Brees.
I think he is VERY nervous. I looked on the baseball fantasy league just now & noticed that he and Woody made a couple of acquisitions today. TODAY! :nerd2:I mean, nice pick ups but we set our lineups weekly on Sunday for the following week and the season ends this Sunday, so I have no clue what they are thinking. This isn't a keeper league. Yeah...he's nervous.
I'm not sure why it showed up for today, because I made the moves last night. They are in my starting lineup for this week. Didn't have much of a choice since Vernon Wells and Troy Glaus are both done for the season. Your boy Reggie Bush just screwed me big time Darth. Saints had the ball 1st and goal from the 1. Brees throws to Bush in the end zone for an easy TD and the ball goes RIGHT THROUGH HIS HANDS. Would have been an easy TD and 6 points for Brees. Next play Bush runs it in for the TD. Gee, thanks. P.S. I think you should be much more worried about your team than mine. But thanks for all the attention.
My team has scored pretty good points except for week one. I could easily be 2-1. That's why I don't like fantasy football too much. Webz had an awesome week but because I was the only team that had more than him, he comes away with nothing. Reggie Bush. Well, I'm glad he screwed you. I'm still taking offers on him. Best offer...if it's good, can have him. I need a receiver...I already have some garbage ones & mediocre ones. I need another good one. Bush is merely serving as insurance on my team.
I think Woody was countering Jammer's non-moves with non-moves of his own. It's a great 7 vs. 10 matchup to wrap up the season.
I thought you didn't like fantasy football because you suck, but I guess it's because you're in denial. Yeah, somehow I didn't think you'd be losing any sleep over it. Laugh it up Laimbeer, laugh it up. Now if you kids will excuse me, I have a 2nd half to [STRIKE]worry about[/STRIKE] watch.
Drew Brees with two passes that get stopped right at the goal line...only to see Reggie Bush eventually run it in for the score. It must hurt to see Brees miss out on those TDs. That's got to be painful to watch, Jammer.
Tell me about it!!!!
Separate names with a comma.

Got this release from the FFHS about free access to the Canadian Census online…….
Hope this helps those with ancestors who emigrated to Canada.
The Canadian census indices are very comprehensive and they are all free to access (except 1861 and 1871 – see below notes). The earlier census years are very important for research on UK people who migrated to Canada before 1911.
Library and Archives Canada (LAC) (http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/) has the images on-line for the following:
1851/52 for Canada East (now Quebec)
1851/52 for Canada West (now Ontario)
1881 for all of Canada
1891 for all of Canada
1901 for all of Canada
1906 for the Northwest Provinces – Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
1911 for all of Canada
Only the censuses of 1881 and 1891 are name searchable. 1881 uses the sometimes difficult Utah index: inspires creativity. The Catalogue of Census Returns on microfilm 1666-1901 digitized on the LAC site gives a list of what years are available in any given census locality.
The 1861 and 1871 Canadian censuses are particularly valuable for gaining an insight into how one's ancestors lived. These census forms asked many questions other than the basic ones. Especially in rural areas, which comprised much of early Canada, one may learn what crops were harvested, how much land was under what cultivation, what farm animals the family owned (and even slaughtered), what farm equipment they owned, what kind of houses they lived in and much more. 1871 had up to 9 schedules. Needless to say not all questions were pertinent to each family.
1901, 1906 and 1911 can only be searched by the geographic area not the name. However, as stated in the previous email, the website Automated Genealogy has had a large number of volunteers index these records by name. Their site links to the images on Library and Archives Canada.

President Mbeki of South Africa made plain his opposition to Jacob Zuma's desire to become president of the African National Congress which leads inevitably to president of South Africa. Mbeki specifically pointed out the ANC's commitment to women rights and charged Zuma is opposed to these historic values. He even stated there should be no problem in having a woman elected head of the nation. These comments were obviously directed at Zuma who was charged with rape(not convicted) and has made several disparaging remarks about women. The president also noted the ANC opposition to tribalism which Zuma frequently plays upon in his public comments. He believes Zuma is a demagogue who plays to the crowd and, if elected, esort to a patronage system of rewarding friends, something the ANC has always opposed.
There is considerable evidence that Jacob Zuma has become a popular figure in his party and will most probably obtain the position of president of the ANC and also of the nation. At this point in time, his reputation as a womanizer and demagogue does not bode well for South Africa.

SOUTH EASTON, Mass. – Merrimack College's Corey Lunney has been named the 2013 Northeast-10 Conference Men's Lacrosse Player of the Year following a vote by the conference's coaches this week.
The conference also announced its 2013 All-Conference and All-Rookie teams, as well as its other major award winners Tuesday.
Lunney helped lead the Warriors to a share of the Northeast-10 regular-season title and is currently leading the league with 43 goals and 57 points overall. The senior has led Merrimack to an 11-2 record, including 10-1 in NE-10 play. Lunney was also named a member of the First Team All-Conference.
Lunney's teammates, Connor Reagan and Brandon Waiter, also earned accolades as Reagan was named the Conference's Goalkeeper of the Year, while Waiter was tabbed the Conference's Defensive Player of the Year.
Reagan heads into the postseason among the league leaders in a number of statistical categories. He is currently 3rd in goals against average (6.59) and 4th in save percentage (61.8%). His 123 saves also places him 7th among NE-10 net minders. Reagan was also named to the NE-10 First Team.
Waiter was honored as the conference's top defenseman. He helped spearhead a Merrimack defense that only allowed 6.77 goals per game en route to a share of the NE-10 regular season crown. The sophomore added two assists on the offensive side and was also a First Team selection.
Adelphi University's Salvatore Tuttle was selected as the 2013 Northeast-10 Rookie of the Year. Tuttle helped the Panthers earn the top seed in the upcoming NE-10 Championship, which is scheduled to being Tuesday, April 30. He led the team with 37 points and 17 points, and was second with 20 goals. The high-scoring first year player was also a member of the All-Rookie team.
In a vote by his peers, Saint Michael's College head coach Pat Ivory was named the NE-10 Coach of the Year. Ivory, the interim head coach, led the Purple Knights to a 10-4 regular-season mark, including a record of 9-2 in Northeast-10 play. During the regular season, Saint Michael's ran off a nine-game winning streak, establishing a school record in the process. Ivory's Purple Knights will host a first-round game Tuesday afternoon in the 2013 Northeast-10 Championship.
The Northeast-10 is an association of 16 NCAA Division II colleges and universities located in New England and New York that are committed to supporting balanced academic and athletic opportunities for more than 6,000 student-athletes. Each year, 4,000 of those student-athletes compete in Conference championships in 23 sports, making the NE-10 the largest DII conference in the country. Leading the way in the classroom, on the field and within the community, the Northeast-10 is proud of its comprehensive program and the experience it provides student-athletes.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I've never been too crazy about perfumes but i love the miss dior cherie commercials directed by my favorite director Sofia Coppola! They're so parisian. When ever I see photos from the commercial it always makes me miss Paris, I had such an amazing time when i went there. If you're a fan of miss Coppola's work and haven't seen the two commercials (one with a model and the other featuring natalie portman) please check it out! Sofia nailed it! I also included both songs featured in the two commercials. An illustration of Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg.
Info: print, 8"x5.5", 18 pages double sided, comes with my signature on the back.
-there are ten illustrations (Model, Natalie Portman, Sofia Coppola, Brigitte Bardot, Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin)

My friends and I have been doing a lot of fan film stuff lately with our stormtrooper costumes.
Ready to take the next step and add a vader costume
My question is, what is the hands down best site for contacting makers and gathering information
I know all the suits are different, but are any easier or parts more available?
I've been trying to acquire the information for an ESB suit and from what I've found on the RPF there aren't a lot of accurate helmets available.
Anyone got any sites bookmarked that are MUSTs for Vader costumers?
Not trying to buy a costume overnight, just do the research so I can have this go smoothly.

Hey there everyone. My name is Mark. I am 25 and live in Richmond, VA.
I just found this website and as a huge fan of the Fetts and someone who always wanted to make my own armor, I thought it was great. I look forward to learning about the building of armor and costumes as well has having many discussions with all of you. This seems like a friendly, supportive place and I hope I can make positive contributions to it. :)

a my bees are coming in to the hive they are going over my Screened Bottom Board. In the process I am finding a lot of pollen pellets along with all the varoa mites and some other waste. I was thinking of returning the pollen pellets to the hive by placing them at the hive entrance. Apparently nothing is happening with it. Anyone know how to interest the bees into taking the pollen. All that work for some poor bees that just did not make it into the hive :(
Any idea what the "shelf life" is of pollen. I bought a can of pollen for human consumption 3-4 years ago and I kept it closed all this time. I'm wondering if it has any nutritional value left in it.

In Focus: Algenist
Surprise! I'm not a scientist. (I know, I know, you're shocked.) But I am a beauty junkie. And a skincare enthusiast. So I was totally excited to go behind the scenes with Tammy Yaiser, VP of Product at Algenist, to get the lowdown on their groundbreaking skincare technology and their new 10 day challenge.
Okay, so what exactly is Alguronic Acid? What makes it so effective for anti-aging?
Alguronic Acid is a compound produced by microalgae that our Biotechnology scientists in San Francisco unexpectedly discovered while developing new renewable energy solutions and biofuels. Having never seen this fascinating new compound before, we began studying Alguronic Acid, and found that Alguronic Acid is the key that helps the microalgae not only to survive, but thrive, in the harshest of environmental conditions. As we further scientifically tested Alguronic Acid, we found that it has incredibly potent cell regeneration and cell protection capabilities – exactly the things we need to target and visibly correct the look of aging in our skin.
How did you discover its anti-aging properties?
After the exciting discovery, our biotechnology scientists intensively researched and studied Alguronic Acid and learned that it is Alguronic Acid that is responsible for regenerating and protecting the microalgae cell. It then occurred to us that this is precisely what is needed to effectively address the signs of aging in the skin, so we began in vitro tests of Alguronic Acid in the laboratory, comparing it to other very well know anti-aging skincare ingredients. We were amazed at Alguronic Acid's cell regeneration, elastin synthesis, melanin inhibition, and cell damage protection capabilities. This inspired us to conduct further clinical trials, which validated Alguronic Acid's exceptional anti-aging properties, showing amazing anti-aging results in just 10 days.
Biotechnology and Beauty? How did that happen?
Totally by accident! Our biotechnology scientists literally stumbled upon Alguronic Acid while developing renewable energy and biofuels – in fact, we never intended to get into beauty or skincare! But once we discovered the benefits of Alguronic Acid, we began formulating and Algenist was born. Algenist means "The Genius of Algae."
What is the "Algenist 10 Day Challenge"? I want in!
The 10-Day Challenge is a 10-day supply of our new Retinol Firming and Lifting Serum, packaged into 10 single-use packettes – one packette to use every day, for ten consecutive days. The 10-Day Challenge is launching for Beauty Insiders on Sephora.com later this month. It is a wonderful way of experiencing the new face of retinol – thanks to the power of Alguronic Acid.
Would you recommend using the Retinol Firming & Lifting Serum every day? Should I use it twice a day? Just in the morning? Just at night?
I recommend using the Retinol Firming & Lifting Serum every single day. If you have never used a retinol product before, begin by using the Retinol Firming and Lifting Serum once a day in the evening. Then progress to applying more frequently, up to twice per day, until you find the best routine for your skin. Note a little goes a long way, you need only one pump and always remember to use a sunscreen during the day.
At what step in my skincare regimen should I use the serum? What other Algenist products should I use it with for it to be the most effective?
Apply the Retinol Firming & Lifting Serum to dry skin, after cleansing. For even more firming and lifting, follow with our Firming and Lifting Cream, and Firming and Lifting Eye Gel – the perfect three-step regimen to boost production of skin's key structural proteins - elastin, collagen, and proteoglycans – to visibly redefine facial contours, and leave skin looking smooth, sculpted, and lifted! And always remember to use a sunscreen - the Ultra Lightweight UV Defense Fluid SPF 50 is an ultra-sheer formula that goes on smoothly for weightless daily protection against broad-spectrum UVA/UVB damage.
Can I use both the Concentrated Reconstructing Serum & the Retinol Firming & Lifting Serum?
Yes, the Concentrated Reconstructing Serum is compatible with the Retinol Firming & Lifting Serum. In the morning, apply the Concentrated Reconstructing Serum to clean, dry skin. In the evening, apply the Retinol Firming & Lifting Serum to dry skin, after cleansing. Just be sure to use a sunscreen every day.
What % of Retinol is there in the formulation?
Though we do not share the exact percentage of retinol in the formulation, the concentration of retinol in the Algenist Retinol Firming & Lifting Serum is proven to produce significant anti-aging properties. Further, the retinol ingredient in our formulation is microencapsulated and time-released for maximum benefits with no downside.
Why am I unable to open up the inside of the Retinol F&L Serum pump?
Even though we formulated the Retinol Firming & Lifting Serum with a stabilized time-released retinol, we specifically
chose an airless and airtight aluminum pump to protect the formula from light and heat. This special packaging therefore further ensures the stability of the formula to deliver the maximum effectiveness and benefits for your skin.
I heard a rumor that you make algae ice cream at your lab? True story? What does it taste like?
Yes – it is a true story. You don't taste algae - you just taste pure A-MAZ-ING creamy, decadent deliciousness. My favorite is the chocolate – of course!

I've been impressed with the Algenist items I've tried, especially the Multi-Perfecting Pore Corrector Gel Moisturizer. The Algenist 10 Day Challenge sounds interesting!
The 10 Day Challenge sounds fun! Its interesting to read more about the scientific properties behind a product. To be honest, the one thing that stuck out of that whole segment, was the Algae Ice Cream I had some Blue-Green Algae & Coconut water, so I'm interested in trying out their creation!
xo, Mia
I'd like to try that 10 day challenge too!
The Retinol F&L serum has literally changed my skin- so much smoother and my complexion looks a ton better under my foundation. I can only imagine how much better it will get after a few more weeks.
While I haven't tried the ice cream, the recent visit from the trainers gave us algae cookies! And they were DELICIOUS!
I find this statement interesting: "Further, the retinol ingredient in our formulation is microencapsulated and time-released for maximum benefits with no downside" (emphasis mine). I absolutely, positively cannot use retinol or any derivative thereof without a very unpleasant reaction. It's too bad Candace didn't ask how they tested their product to arrive at a "no downside" conclusion. That's a rather bold statement to make.
The eye cream is amazing. It took one day for me to see a significant difference, and a little goes a long way.
I am head over heels about Algenist products. Each new product they introduce is somehow better than the last and I think I've bought everything they have put out. Here's an idea, have an Algenist day (maybe a Sunday morning an hour before you open for the snacks) for VIBs and let us try some of that ice cream (cookies too)!
And how about a goodie bag (2 week samples of 3 or 4 products we get to pick) with purchase of a full sized product (at least $75).
I was all excited to try this until I saw that it contains whey protein. Dairy makes me break out. Does whey protein applied topically have the same pimple inducing effects as ingesting it does?
I am looking forward to this new challenge. With my skin changing everyday, I look forward to something new and exciting.
I just started my 10day challenge last night, can't wait to see if it lives up to how it is described! I got a second set with the last order I put in as well
@consolvo, it was the Complete Eye Renewal balm. I'm still using the tub I bought of it 8 months ago and I use it twice a day. Sorry for the delayed response!
I get allergic reactions to algenist products. My eyes swell shut.
I switched over to mostly Algenist products right after Christmas, and I love them!! I have noticed a huge difference in my skin, including wrinkles. I have oily, sensitive skin, and nothing I have used has irritated my skin, made me break out, or increased oiliness. I got a deluxe sample of the retinol serum and it does not seem harsh or irritating. Love it all!
I tried the brightening mask and I got hives all over my face!! Not cool.

Did your petri plate grow bacterial colonies after you wiped the object with just water? Probably. This shows you that while plain water can help get rid of some microbes, it doesn't necessarily get rid of all of them. But you didn't grow too many microbes in the dish you swabbed after wiping the object down with your chosen disinfectant. Disinfectants are chemicals that kill microbes or at least lift them up off a surface so they can then be washed or wiped away. Disinfectants are one of the ways we can control microbial growth. Heat and cold are other means--you can sterilize water by boiling it and you can keep food from going bad by refrigerating or freezing it. Irradiation and antibiotics are other control methods.

Good evening Fett heads, here's some information of a broader nature about those hard to find flare guns. It won't really expand knowledge of the props but I never get bored of this stuff! The information was obtained from a lecture given by Molly Milner to the Historical Breechloading smallarms association (seriously) at the Imperial War Museum London. Unfortunately IWM is closed until July but well worth a visit if you have never been. Usual apologies for my camera work.
In April 1915 Webley started production of their MKVI service revolver and in that same month there was a new design of flare pistol. The barrel diameter was 1 ½ and was made from steel rather than brass. This larger bore pistol was designed for use in the trenches and by the Royal Flying Corps (not the Royal Air Force as sometimes incorrectly stated; the RAF did not exist until 1st April 1918 towrd the end of the war [Nov '18]). As there was a huge demand for arms at that time it made a lot of sense for the flare pistols and the service revolver to be a similar design. Indeed, 50% of the component parts of these arms were interchangeable. Unfortunately I don't have a MkVI revolver to show you.
The No. 1 Mark 1 Flare pistol had a 10 barrel and facility for a shoulder stock. Flare Pistols were used by the military to pass messages to the artillery and to signal orders to Pilots flying above.
Webley 10 Flare pistol
The No 2 Mark 2 flare pistol had a 4 barrel and no shoulder stock and was used by RFC pilots. When the aircraft were first used in WW1 pilots used the signal pistol to send messages to the artillery.
Webley 4" Flare pistol
Webley 10" and 4" Together.
During the war (Uncle Albert anyone?) Webley produced 48300 1 ½ signal pistols; 26665 No.1s and 21635 No.2s. I have no idea how many went to Federal Laboratories and obviously there is no way for me to ascertain how many were lost or destroyed either in the war itself or the subsequent years and therefore cannot speculate how many exist in the world today but both models are considered very rare (like you didn't know).
The No 1 & No 2 flare pistols had a common serial number range starting from 1 which was completely separate from the Mk ll and Mk lll flare pistol number range (the brass ones) and also completely different from the MKVl revolver range.
The first order for 50 No.1s was 30th March 1915 and these pistols sold for 65/-. By May the price had dropped to 62/6 and in October to 62/-.
The reason for the price drop was probably because the Government had introduced an excess profits tax on profits that were made from Military contracts.

The No. 1 line of center Daniel Briere, left wing Jochen Hecht and right wing Jason Pominville — who combined for 85 goals and 134 assists in the regular season — has been subpar. Briere, the catalyst, has just one shot in each game.'

Colliding billiard balls. Missile trajectories. Cornering dynamics in speeding cars. By applying the laws of physics, you can realistically model nearly everything in games that bounces around, flies, rolls, slides, or isn't sitting still, to create compelling, believable content for computer games, simulations, and animation. Physics for Game Developers serves as the starting point for those who want to enrich games with physics-based realism.Part one is a mechanics primer that reviews basic concepts and addresses aspects of rigid body dynamics, including kinematics, force, and kinetics. Part two applies these concepts to specific real-world problems, such as projectiles, boats, airplanes, and cars. Part three introduces real-time simulations and shows how they apply to computer games. Many specific game elements stand to benefit from the use of real physics, including:
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animals on the cover of Physics for Game Developers are a cat and a mouse. The age-old rivalry between cat and mouse has been the topoic of many children's books and Saturday cartoons. From traditional folk tales, such as Aesop's fables and Grimm Brothers' fairy tales, to today's cartoons, such as Tom & Jerry, the cat has chased and bullied the mouse and the mouse has avoided becoming lunch. The cat may be bigger and stronger, but the mouse is small, fast, and can fit in tight spaces, so the end result is often a battle of wits. Darren Kelly was the production editor, Barbara Willette, was the copyeditor, and Donna Leik, Larry Hykes, and Charles Snyder were the proofreaders for Physics for Game Developers. Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Angie Wiley wrote the index.Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is 19-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1, using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout. Techbooks, Inc. implemented the design. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read, using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. The tip and warning icons were drawn by Christopher Bing. This colophon was written by Linley Dolby.Whenever possible, our books use a durable and flexible lay-flat binding.

ggod game physics intro book
By KHRONOS
from ORLANDO,FL
Comments about oreilly Physics for Game Developers:
This is a good book that shows how to implement real time physics simulation.It is a good starting point.To the reviewer Jarred Nomak, I want to let you know that a velocity is a vector, therefore no confusion here. This book is not for primary students .It is not about learning Physics(Dynamics,..) but how to programm it. There is a big difference between being a physics programmer and physicist. If you want to be physicist stay with college physics books
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent book. The author made physics and c++ very straightforward given my background is math/stats and visual basic.
Physics for Game Developers Review
By David Rysdam
There is a lot of good information in here. Anyone who has the requisite physics to understand the book could probably do a lot of this stuff already, particularly the particle mechanics, but it's good to have some of these things derived for you, laid out and put together for clarity and ease of use.Like some others, I was disappointed to find that the example code uses Windows APIs. True, it doesn't affect the physics code, which is all on its own. But it keeps anyone but a Windows user from running and messing with the downloaded examples. This means that I have to program the example from the ground up just to see it running under Linux.To the person who says that Runge-Kutta isn't mentioned: Check pages 181-182.

Be really careful buying this book. Although its contents cover pretty nice bunch of things we would like to know more about, the book style is VERY SIMPLE and rather addressed to people from elementary school. Moreover, the Author is inconsequent in many things, for example, he uses very inconsistent name's convention, for instance: velocity is defined as a vector sometimes, but sometimes not (which is a bug for me) and result is one - mess in the book.I would not disqualify this book, but it is definitely not for people who have some physics background. Better take your old school books and read them again if you want to do something really working.Too bad also that the Author did not cover really interesting topic like Runge-Kutta fourth order integration method.Five stars - in contrary - for O'Reilly's for publishing the samples rather than putting them on CD. It definitely lowers the book price, very good move.
By mike insanantone
Actually, I would give this book 3.5 critters. I do have the math and physics background to follow the author. A more comprehensive book on mechanics is "Vector Mechanics for Engineers" by Beer and Johnson. Io, or moment of inertia, is explained in great length as are all of the authors topics and much more. What would be really nice if all of the programs were made available, either with an accompanying CD or at the web-site. For no better reason, than to show how the program works. If the author doesn't explain what is left out, I have to figure it out. I would rather be experimenting with the code. This is sort of like bying a mini-van, without an engine. Sure you have a vehical that can haul half of a softball team, but until you get the engine, nobody plays any ball.I'm not a Mac guy, but I agree with their gripe and then some. It should be clearly stated which language and platforms this code is intended for.In summary, the basic algorithms are good if you understand mechanics. The code needs to be more verbosely documented. And why not have all the code available?
By Koji Sato
A wonderful book. Well layed out, a simple and practical framework of basic principals which provide a sufficient foundation for most readers to apply real-world behaviours to just about any simulated event.The techniques and formulas provided in this book are applicable to any platform. Any reader who complains about not being able to cut/paste and compile the sample initialization code into their OpenGL application is missing the point.
By TrickyFishy
I'm thrilled with this book. It covers the topics I want it to cover and I'm particularly glad I didn't have to pay for paper that covers too much introductory information. The appendicies cover just enough background information to shake the rust off but isn't a complete lesson on basic math. I think more books should be written like this. The examples are clear and easy to understand and the text is in the classic O'Reilly quality: the meat without the fluff. The $40 price point is an excellent value. Bravo! More like this please!
By Mike Ethetton
I find this book a great resource for the game developer. As stated in another review, this book really covers mechanics, and not many other fields of physics. Fortunately, the book covers exactly what I purchased it for. I've had to brush up quite a bit on my rusty math skills, but I think that could be considered an occupational hazard.While I sometimes write for Windows, most of my game coding is actually done on another platform, yet I did not find the Windows-based C code included to be a hinderance. If anything, through translating it to my platform, I found I understood it better than if I had just "thrown it in" someplace.I was searching for a book with just this information, and just this depth about two years ago, and could find nothing close in my research. Overall, an excellent book! Now, if only there were a "Collision Detection for Game Developers" (hint,hint}

Unfortunately, this book appears to only cover mechanics, not physics. Where, for example, is the subscience of optics (reflections, refractions of light) for game developers covered?The boastful title is exaggerated.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah University's fall 2011 enrollment is at an all-time high with a total of 938 students. Multnomah has 28 more students enrolled than in fall 2010. While seminary enrollment held steady, Adult Degree Completion, Reno-Tahoe campus, and the new graduate programs made up the bulk of the gains.
Campus Buzz
Student involvement in Multnomah's community is in full swing. The new student orientation weekend was labeled a success as students connected with each other and Multnomah's faculty and staff. At the all-college retreat at Washington Family Ranch, over 400 students, faculty, and staff had opportunities to make further connections. Additionally, student-led programs and ministries are in motion; participants anticipate a phenomenal year of learning, growth, and service.
"Our record enrollment highlights Multnomah's unique position as a Christian university where every program, from Elementary Education to Psychology, is built on a strong biblical foundation," said Director of Admissions Palmer Muntz. "It also reveals how Multnomah has expanded its offerings, adding degrees like the Master of Arts in TESOL and programs in new locales, including our campus in Reno, Nevada. Students are looking for a Christian university with substance where they'll be challenged to think for themselves and use their gifts to make the world a better place. They're finding this at Multnomah University."
"God is moving at Multnomah," Dean of Student Services Jon Mathis said. "I have seen it as our student leaders have begun to see what it would be like to shed the masks they wear and truly trust that God created them uniquely for a specific purpose. I'm excited to see our students affirm what is right with themselves and step forward with confidence into the life God has planned for them."

Barely visible to the unaided eye on a dark, moonless night, Messier 17 aka the Omega Nebula is best seen though binoculars, or low power on a telescope. It's very near another prominent nebula known as Messier 16, the Eagle Nebula, home nebula of the famous Pillars of Creation photograph. These two closely-knit patches of haze readily fit within the same binocular field of view. Follow the links below to learn more.
How to see M17. Learn to recognize the constellation Sagittarius. This constellation contains an easy-to-find star pattern, or asterism, in the shape of a teapot. From this legendary Teapot asterism in Sagittarius, it's fairly easy to star-hop to the Omega Nebula and its companion nebula, M16.
From the Teapot, draw an imaginary line from the star Kaus Austrinus and pass just east (left) of the star Kaus Media to locate M16 and M17. These two nebulae are close together and located about one fist-width above the Teapot. The Teapot, M16 and M17 are highest up when due south on late summer evenings.
Thus, as seen from mid-northern latitudes, M17 and M16 are favorite summertime attractions. They bejewel the southern evening sky in summer and early autumn.
Science of the Omega Nebula. Like M16, M17 Omega Nebula is a vast interstellar cloud of dust and gas giving birth to young, hot suns. It spans some 15 light-years in diameter. The cloud of interstellar matter of which this nebula is a part is roughly 40 light-years in diameter and has a mass of 30,000 solar masses. The total mass of the Omega Nebula is an estimated 800 solar masses.
The distance to the M17 Omega Nebula is not known with precision. There is little doubt that it lies farther away than the more brilliant Great Orion Nebula, the star-forming nebula that's visible to the unaided eye in the winter sky. When you look at either M16 or M17, you're gazing at deep-sky wonders in the next spiral arm inward: the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way galaxy.
The M17 Omega Nebula is thought to be around 5,000 light-years away. In contrast, the Orion Nebula resides within the Orion spiral arm (the same spiral arm as our solar system) at some 1,300 light-years distant. By the way, the local geometry of the Omega Nebula is similar to that of the Orion Nebula – except that the Omega Nebula is viewed edge-on rather than face-on.
The M17 Omega Nebula also goes by the name Swan Nebula or Horseshoe Nebula.
Competing nebulae. Two other patches of nebulosity – M8 and M20 – also vie for your attention, and couple up together within the same binocular field.
Like M16 and M17, this pair resides in the Sagittarius arm and is found by star-hopping from The Teapot. Judge for yourself which pair of stellar nurseries makes the bigger splash!
Bottom line: Barely visible to the unaided eye on a dark, moonless night, the Omega Nebula (Messier 17) is best seen through binoculars, or low power in a telescope. It's one of our galaxy's vast star-forming regions.

Hi there,
I'm undertaking a CELTA course in November, and I wanted to know if there is anything I can do in advance of completing the course in terms of finding myself a TEFL job abroad.
Specifically, I am a little concerned about the paucity of options for people without a degree-level qualification; although I do not have a degree, I have many years' experience as an editor and writer, as well as the confidence and willingness to immerse myself in other cultures, plus lots of experience of managing people and events.
When I applied to do the CELTA, I was told that, with the possible exception of Japan and South Korea, a degree is not a prerequisite for most TEFL jobs. However, on browsing the jobs database on tefl.com, the vast majority of posts worldwide stipulate a degree as a requirement.
In your experience, is there any possibility of circumventing this, providing that I pass the CELTA? Or is the degree requirement totally immovable?
Also, is it worth applying for posts in advance, or at least registering an interest in working for a specific language school/company? Or would this be pointless given the fast-paced nature of TEFL appointments?
Many thanks in advance,

Just to clarify..You can not do that and meet the ABYC standard.
Wire twisting, Western Union splices etc. do not count under ABYC E-11 as a "mechanical connection" to which you can then apply solder and call it a day....

OK did the Air Breeze wind generator wiring from the #6 cables to the Air Breeze #10 wires.
The need for the #6 wires is because the wire run is over 30'.
The #6 connectors worked great for this.
Now to find my darn heat gun!
Heat shrink needs to be moved into place and shrunk.
#10 to #6
Shrink the heat shrink and it is ready to mount!
Thanks for all the imput.
OK, yes I had read some reviews about the Harbor Freight tool and die sizes. It does do a nice crimp and on a 2/0 size was the only one we could really afford. As we use it rarely and it does a nice crimp it seems OK.
I do release that our anchor windlass is a critical system and checked the crimp out and it was great.
This die says 8 AWG and that would mean electrical wire would it not, or is cable sized the same?
The Air Breeze is not critical and this crimp is solid. It beats hitting it with a hammer and the tools shown do not seem to go up in size to #6.
We usually order our cables from GenuineDealz.com - Marine Electrical, Boat Wire & Cable, Custom Battery Cables and have them do the crimp. In this case we cannot have them do the crimping.
I will hate it if the anchor windlass crimp fails for some reason. We will keep an eye on it. We have a few crimps to make on our solar controller as the cables #4 need to be cut for a fuse and a fuse block.
That should be the end of the crimping we need to do. We were not planning on taking this tool cruising, 9 moths from now. May re-think that or get another one?
Whay would these crimps fail?
Tested crimping tool
Ok once again I was mistaken. The wires we need to use are #6 not #8
We did some testing with our Harbor Freight hydraulic crimping tool. We first bought it for one job. That was to crimp 2/0 cables from our windlass to batteries after we did a refit of the cables. We had to use the 00 dies in the tool to make that crimp. So we figured the dies would be different for the #6 cables but now we think not.
The wires #6 red\black
OK the stripping was not so great as I busted some strands but we did not have much to work with on that tool.
We tried the #6 dies in the tool and the crimp looks real good and it can not be torn apart, at least by me. We tried the #8 dies but it crimp looks too flat (right).
We used #6 cable and #6 butt connectors.
We also tried two #10 wires together into one # 6 but connector and they fit real nice. We did not do a crimp, seemed a waste of a connector.
We also tried a #10 wire bent over in two and it fit real nice in the #6 butt connector.
We will need to wire the green (ground) and white (neutral) wires together at the Air Breeze so that was one test.
We will need to wire a #10 black wire from the Air Breeze wind generator to the #6 black to battery negative so that was another test.
We also need to wire in a switch and a 5/16 battery eye to fuse terminal.
Need to purchase more # 6 terminal ends and some heat shrink with glue.
So it looks like this all works out. Now to do the job!
You know, I've always wondered about those cutaways. Sure, it LOOKS like the copper strands have been smoothly and uniformly compressed. But is that from the crimp, or from the action of the saw or cutoff wheel, neatly smoothing and polishing them?
The closer we look, the more error we create?

Maine, since when does a plain oval shape die count as a proper crimp for anything?
Chip, is it at all feasible to simply remove the thinner wire from the airgen, and run the 8AWG cable all the way into it? That also eliminates the need to splice completely.
The HF tool may be the only one of its kind on the market and it sure LOOKS good, but if you find the thread discussing it...there's some question of exactly wtf they are selling and apparently even that varies from lot to lot.
Of course, folks have been known to simply use a vise and "swage" the hell out of battery lugs when there's no fancy $200 crimping tool around.

Another defenseman has dropped off the trade market as the Ottawa Senators have supposedly signed Filip Kuba to a 3 year, $3.7 million per year contract. I can't say that this is a bad deal, but if I was a Senators fan I would really question whether it is intelligent to lock up more players on a team that has been one of the worst teams in the NHL for nearly two full years now.
Also just in, the Senators have traded Antoine Vermette to Columbus for Pascal Leclaire and a second round pick. This trade makes more sense because the Senators so desperately need a top goalie, but the jury is still out whether Leclaire can be that guy. He had a very good year last year but has been mediocre otherwise and has been injured most of this season. This is a gamble that the Senators probably need to make, but is far from a sure thing. The second round pick makes the gamble worth while.
The bad news for the Senators is they now have 9 players signed through 2010-11 for about $38.6 million in cap space. If, as some expect, the salary cap drops significantly (possibly beloe $50 million) that won't leave much cap space left to fill out a roster that still lacks a second line center and a top defenseman. The players signed are Alfredsson, Heatley, Spezza, Fisher, Kelly, Ruuttu, Kuba, Phillips and Leclaire.

I have wanted one of these for a couple of years, but the $3,500.00 price tag was a bit steep. DSA put a few of these up on gunbroker last week. I called my contact there and got this one hand select for $2,000.00 it is in excellent condition and the bbl looks new. I can't wait to sort it all out and put all the sub assemblys together.
figuring out a semi conversion will be a good winter project.

Taylorsville • Forget the no-hitter, Viewmont pitcher Brendan Jensen had bigger things to worry about.
After dominating Taylorsville for six innings, Jensen found out that the Warriors are harder to get rid of than a Kardashian reality TV series.
James Bond dies easier.
Taylorsville's Zac Stepp singled in the game-winning run with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to help the Warriors pull off a stunning 3-2 win.
"[Jensen] had us off-balance all day and had us guessing a lot," said Taylorsville coach Jake Brown. "It's great. It's nice to know your team competes but at the same time, you're playing with fire waiting until that late to get anything going."
Jensen fanned nine batters through six innings and had not given up a hit, but he surrendered a leadoff walk to Miguel Othon in the seventh. Wyatt Caso followed with Taylorsville's first hit of the game, a line drive up the middle.
Ken Atwood grounded out, but the runners moved up in the process. Jake Greenberg then singled in two runs to tie the game and took second on the throw home. It proved to be a fatal mistake for Viewmont, because after Jensen retired the next batter, Stepp slapped a 3-2 fastball through the left side of the infield to win the game.
"I've been having a rough stretch hitting lately, so I knew I was in a position where I had to succeed," Stepp said. "It felt good. It was an ugly game, but you have to win ugly games."
Viewmont (2-2) scored two runs in the fourth to take the lead. Parker Taggart singled and took second on a wild pitch. He trotted home when Isaac Evans squared up the hardest hit ball of the day, a blast to deep center field. He moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a Travis Henderson's sacrifice fly that gave the Vikings a 2-0 lead but they soon found out why the Taylorsville is now 4-0 in region play.
Never say die.
Storylines Taylorsville 3, Viewmont 2
R Zac Stepp knocks in the game-winning run to complete the Warriors' rally.

Pete Yorn
After netting a record contract with Columbia, Yorn returned to the studio and co-produced his debut album, 2001's Musicforthemorningafter, with Brad Wood and R. Walt Vincent. He also played the bulk of the instruments himself. Yorn supported the album by touring for 18 months, enabling Musicforthemorningafter to go gold by April 2002. The following spring, he returned with the earnest Day I Forgot, which featured several contributions from R.E.M.'s Peter Buck (who had previously made a cameo on the single version of "Strange Condition"). A year later, Yorn issued his first live album, Live from New Jersey, a double-disc set that captured his late October performance at the Community Theater in Morristown, New Jersey.
For his third studio LP, Yorn enlisted collaborators such as the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and the Dixie Chicks' Martie Maguire and Natalie Maines to shape the sound of Nightcrawler. Produced by Butch Walker, the album arrived in August 2006 and replaced Yorn's folky leanings with a more rock-oriented foundation. Another noted producer, Bright Eyes alum Mike Mogis, was enlisted to helm Pete Yorn's next record. The resulting Back and Fourth was recorded in Omaha, Nebraska, and released in 2009, prefaced by the lead single "Don't Wanna Cry." Yorn returned later that year with another album, this one recorded alongside actress/vocalist Scarlett Johansson and inspired by the famed duets of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot. Although the project was finished several years prior, Break Up didn't see the light of day until September 2009, after several of Yorn's friends urged him to issue the material; the album went to 41 on the Billboard charts. In 2010, Yorn released his self-titled fifth studio solo album featuring production from the Pixies' Frank Black; the record peaked at 66.
Yorn's next project was the Olms, a band he formed in 2011 with J.D. King. During 2012, the band recorded the album that became their eponymous 2013 debut. Released that summer, the album peaked at four on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. The Olms claimed another album was in the works -- indeed, they released an EP of live material in the fall of 2013 -- but Yorn first returned to his solo career. He signed to Capitol in 2015 and reunited with R. Walt Vincent -- the producer of Musicforthemorningafter -- for 2016's Arranging Time. ~ Andrew Leahey & Kerry L. Smith

Three-part Harmony
Red Molly headed to Monadnock Region for folk-infused show
Special to the Union Leader | February 19. 2014 11:42PM
HEARING HARMONIES: Red Molly's "Light in the Sky" CD spent 20 weeks on the Americana Music Association's Top 40 radio chart and was named Folk DJ's No. 3 Top Album of 2012. (Photo courtesy of Annabel Braithwaite)
Photo courtesy of Annabel Braithwaite HEARING HARMONIES: Red Molly's "Light in the Sky" CD spent 20 weeks on the Americana Music Association's Top 40 radio chart and was named Folk DJ's No. 3 Top Album of 2012.
Since forming in 2004, Red Molly has been on a steady diet of writing, touring and performing. The original lineup included Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Carolann Solebello. When Solebello stepped down three years ago, MacAllister and Gardner asked singer, songwriter and guitarist Molly Venter to join the band.
The trio's current tour promotes the band's fifth album, an as-of-yet-untitled work that includes a collection of eight original songs recorded last fall in Nashville.
In the Beginning
Red Molly was "born" 10 years ago at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in Hillsdale, N.Y. MacAllister and Gardner were walking up a hill towards their campsite talking about their favorite musicians.
"We just clicked," Venter said. "We have great chemistry."
"I need significant alone time to be creative," Venter said. "I heard someone say it's like fishing: You can sit around all day with a line and a hook and not catch anything, but then the only way to catch a fish is to sit around with a line and a hook. You have to make time for your art and show up on a regular basis."
"They always fill our room and draw in all age groups," she said. "These days everyone has their own opinions and definition of what constitutes folk music. Red Molly is the complete package — all very accomplished musicians with an amazing stage presence that gives them a special rapport with their audience."
Saturday's show at the Peterborough Players on Hadley Road starts at 8 p.m. and also will feature Marc Douglas Berardo.

Back in the 1960s, a physician named F. Curtis Dohan speculated that people who had celiac disease were more likely to have schizophrenia. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body cannot tolerate gluten, a protein found naturally in wheat, as well as rye, barley, and sometimes oats that are processed in the same place as these other grains. Later studies have not established that reducing the amount of wheat in the diet of people with schizophrenia significantly reduces their symptoms. Dohan's writings marked the beginning of the proposed link between diet and psychiatric and neurologic illnesses.
The suggested link between gluten and casein and autism emerged in the 1970s. The theory—which remains unproven—was that children who have ASDs are unable to break down the dietary proteins in gluten and casein, causing the formation of opioid-like peptides (amino acids that are similar to proteins). Children with autism are also believed to have "leaky gut syndrome." Because of this syndrome, these peptides are then able to escape from the digestive tract, cross the intestinal membranes, enter the bloodstream, and go up to the brain, causing the neurobehavioral symptoms that we know as ASDs. By eliminating foods that contain gluten and casein from a child's diet (known as the gluten-free/casein-free [GFCF] diet), it was believed that you could diminish the symptoms of autism.Some parents say that the GFCF diet has lessened their child's symptoms. Research, however, has found little support for the GFCF diet and "leaky gut" theory. Several studies of the GFCF diet in children with ASDs have shown that removing gluten and casein from a child's diet did not improve social skills or communication, nor did it help with sleep duration and activity levels. Even so, it's possible that some children with ASDs who have significant gastrointestinal problems may reap some benefits from the GFCF diet, especially if they, coincidentally, also have celiac disease (gluten-sensitivity autoimmune disorder).Still, many parents try removing gluten and casein from their child's diet. In fact, the GFCF diet is the most popular CAM intervention among children who have ASDs. It's generally considered safe, and some parents report that the diet has actually made a difference in their child's behavior. But it's hard to know if these behavioral changes are directly related to the GFCF diet or if they are the result of another intervention that the child may be undergoing at the same time.It's possible, too, that some children are lactose intolerant, meaning they can't tolerate the sugar in milk, which may cause gastrointestinal distress leading to irritability. Others may actually have celiac disease, which can also cause behavioral disturbances. By removing lactose and gluten in children who have these conditions, you may also notice behavioral improvements.
If you decide to put your child on the gluten-free/casein-free diet, it's important to pay attention to certain nutrients such as vitamin D, calcium, iron, protein, and fiber, which may be lacking in this eating plan. The following chart offers other options for getting these important nutrients:

Subsidized Employment Helps Long-Term Unemployed Reconnect to Workforce
Sep 12, 2013
By Elizabeth Lower-Basch and Neil Ridley
Stimulating Opportunity, a new report from the Economic Mobility Corporation, highlights the role subsidized employment programs can play in reconnecting long-term unemployed workers to the workforce. This report examines in depth the experiences of workers and employers who participated in subsidized employment programs in five sites under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Emergency Fund. As CLASP documented, between 2009 and 2010, 39 states used TANF Emergency Funds to support subsidized employment opportunities for more than 260,000 workers.
Stimulating Opportunity finds that, even after the subsidy period has ended, subsidized employment can have a significant positive impact on low-income job seekers' employment and earnings. These effects were largely concentrated among those job seekers who had been unemployed for more than six months prior to starting the program. While comparison group data was only available for one site, Florida, the pattern of employment in other sites appears consistent with these findings. This suggests that, in a period of limited resources, subsidized jobs programs may wish to target participants without recent work experience.

The Democratic Party is one of the oldest political parties in the world, older than the Republican Party. [ + - ]
Take a look at the key leaders, dates and policies that make up the history of the Democratic Party. [ + - ]
The Democratic Party has a long history, existing not only as a political organization but also as a national vision. The late Ron Brown -- former chairman of the Democratic Party -- wrote, "The common thread of Democratic history, from Thomas Jefferson to Bill Clinton, has been an abiding faith in the judgment of hardworking American families, and a commitment to helping the excluded, the disenfranchised and the poor strengthen our nation by earning themselves a piece of the American Dream." [ + - ]
Thomas Jefferson founded the Democratic Party in 1792 as a congressional caucus to fight for the Bill of Rights and against the Federalist Party. In 1798, the "party of the common man" was officially named the Democratic-Republican Party and in 1800 elected Jefferson as the first Democratic president of the United States. [ + - ]
Jefferson served two terms and was followed by James Madison in 1808. Madison strengthened America's armed forces -- helping reaffirm American independence by defeating the British in the War of 1812. [ + - ]
Andrew Jackson was one of the founding fathers of the Democratic Party and organized his supporters to a degree unprecedented in American history. The Jacksonian Democrats created the national convention process, the party platform, and reunified the Democratic Party with Jackson's victories in 1828 and 1832. The Party held its first National Convention in 1832 and nominated Jackson for his second term. In 1844, the National Convention simplified the Party's name to the Democratic Party. [ + - ]
When Andrew Jackson ran for president in 1828, his opponents tried to label him a "jackass" for his populist views and his slogan, "Let the people rule." Jackson, however, picked up on their name calling and turned it to his own advantage by using the donkey on his campaign posters. During his presidency, the donkey was used to represent Jackson's stubbornness. Years later, Thomas Nast, a famous political cartoonist, is credited with getting the donkey widely accepted as the Democratic party's symbol. [ + - ]
In 1848, the National Convention established the Democratic National Committee, now the longest-running political organization in the world. The convention charged the DNC with the responsibility of promoting "the Democratic cause" between the conventions and preparing for the next convention. [ + - ]
In 1912, Woodrow Wilson became the first Democratic president of the 20th Century. Wilson led the country through World War I, fought for the League of Nations, established the Federal Reserve Board, and passed the first labor and child welfare laws. [ + - ]
A generation later, Franklin Roosevelt was elected president running on the promise of a New Deal. Roosevelt pulled America out of the Depression by looking beyond the Democratic base and energizing citizens around the belief that their government could actively assist them in times of need. The Civilian Conservation Corps, the WPA and Social Security all brought Americans into the system and strengthened the nation. [ + - ]
With the election of Harry Truman, Democrats began the fight to bring down the final barriers of race and gender. Truman integrated the military and oversaw the reconstruction of Europe by establishing the Marshall Plan and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Truman's leadership paved the way for civil rights leaders who followed. [ + - ]
In the 1960s, President John F. Kennedy challenged an optimistic nation to build on its great history. Kennedy proclaimed a New Frontier and dared Americans to put a man on the moon, created the Peace Corps and negotiated a treaty banning atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons. [ + - ]
In 1992, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton was elected the 42nd president of the United States after 12 years of Republican presidents. Clinton ran on the promise of a new covenant for America's working families. During his administration, the United States experienced its longest period of economic expansion in peacetime history to that point. The Deficit Reduction Act of 1993 -- passed by both the House and Senate without a single Republican vote -- led to budget surpluses, a rarity in recent decades. [ + - ]

You should be able to see SOME light between the barrel and cylinder on ALL revolvers (this is called the Barrel/Cylinder gap, or B/C gap). If the front face of the cylinder is actually touching the rear of the barrel (no light through gap at all), then the two surfaces will rub when the cylinder rotates, which can get worse when the weapon is hot and/or dirty. This rubbing/drag will make it difficult to thumb-cock the revolver, and even more difficult to shoot it in the Double-Action (DA) mode (just pulling the trigger), as the trigger has less leverage to rotate the cylinder than the hammer does when thumb-cocking.
When the weapon is clean and cold, most revolver B/C gaps will probably fall between .004 inches and .012 inches. Smaller than .004", and the cylinder may drag when hot or dirty; much larger than .012" and you'll be losing more gas pressure than normal through the gap when firing, and getting more flash and "spitting" of hot gunpowder particles, too. Sometimes accuracy will be poor on revolvers with larger B/C gaps (usually with softer lead bullets), but not always. You can measure the B/C gap with a set of precision feeler gauges.
