Evenflo Recalls 1.3 Million Child Seat Buckles
Evenflo Company Inc. is voluntarily recalling 1.3 million convertible car seats and harnessed booster seats due to the risk that during an emergency a child may not be able to be removed quickly.
The buckles on the car seats and booster seats may become stuck in the locked position. The National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the buckles used in the recall models were manufactured between 2011 and 2014.
Evenflo's website states that "These select models use a harness crotch buckle which may become resistant to unlatching over time, due to exposure to various contaminants (like food and drinks) that are present in everyday use of the convertible car seat or harnessed booster by toddlers. This condition may make it difficult to remove a child from the vehicle. There is no such risk if the buckle is functioning normally. These convertible car seats and harnessed boosters meet all requirements for crashworthiness under the federal FMVSS 213 safety standard and can continue to be used to transport your child safely, if you are not experiencing difficulty unlatching the buckle. Importantly, Evenflo has received no reports of injuries to children in connection with the use of this buckle on the seats that are subject to this recall."
The recall models include:
- Momentum – Model number prefix- 385
- Chase - Model number prefix- 306, 329
- Maestro – Model number prefix- 310
- Symphony - Model number prefix-345, 346
- Snugli All in One - Model number prefix- 345, 346
- Titan - Model number prefix- 371
- SureRide - Model number prefix- 371
- Secure Kid & Snugli Booster - Model number prefix- 308
Evenflo is providing consumers a remedy kit, free-of-charge that includes a replacement buckle and instructions for installing the new buckle. The remedy kit is available by placing an order with Evenflo on their website at www.buckle.evenflo.com, or calling 1-800-490-7591.
Evenflo requests that consumers not return the convertible car seats or harnessed boosters to retailers.
The website also contains a link for instructions on cleaning the buckles.
The NHTSA is also investigating the safety of Evenflo's rear-facing infant seats.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks for the replys. tnsmith - so far I haven't seen 3rd or OD but I haven't had a chance to drive it much yet. Took it down to the alignment shop this morning, so hopefully later today or tomorrow I'll get a chance to drive it. Will try what you said tnsmith and let you know. Im hopping it's simple like Overdriv says. Thanks
|If I were you I'd drive it a bit more before you do anything major. I rebuilt a 700R4 and let it set 7 years. It wouldn't shift out of 1st the first few times I drove it. I was just about to pull it and find out ***. I went to get it at the alignment shop and the guy said it shifted OK for him. It has worked perfect ever since.
if you do think it has 4th gear, when it engages, pull the trans to 3rd and see if it tries to down shift, if not, thats t.c.c. apply, and not 4th gear. t.c.c. apply is possible in 2nd gear so you know.
the last time i saw this, the builder forgot to put the 2-3 accumulator capsule in.
it could also be in the valve body as in time, its not out of the question depending on how bad the trans was tore up before the rebuild. the valve body may have sticky shift valve/s.
its not likely that it will be govenor related as if it was, more than likely you wouldnt even get a 1-2 shift. hope this helps...
Rebuilt 700R4 sat to long?
Got a 700R4 3 years ago and had it completely rebuilt. Needed it that time to fab rear crossmember for it, put hole in flooring in the right place for the shifter etc, etc.. Finally last fall, the motor was in so put oil in the trans and started the motor and got it out for a test drive. Parking lot was to small to get it out of first. This spring I drove car to glass shop, and it shifted from first to 2'nd but not 3'rd. Had engine RPM up to 2700 but still no 3'rd. I'm concerned that sitting for so long without oil, one of those little check balls or something else has stuck. Anyone got any ideas on what might be wrong and easiest way to fix it? F.W.I.T. the motor is a ramjet 350, and there in a 36 Buick. The TV cable has been set and checked. I'd ask the guy who rebuilt the trans but he is retired and in another city so I have no way of getting in touch with him. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Antarctic Peninsula warming: natural variability or "global warming"?
Figure 2. Temperature anomalies averaged over the Southern Hemisphere (top), temperatures from the sub-Antarctic station Orcadas (middle), and hydrogen isotopes (a proxy for temperature) from James Ross Island on the Antarctic Peninsula (bottom). All the data are publicly available: GISS, SCAR, Nature
Why the ambiguity? After all, the results show that it's now warmer on James Ross Island now than it has been at any time during at least the last millennium (see Figure 2), and its unequivocal that this recent warmth led to the demise of ice shelves in the area over the last few decades. Moreover, the rate of recent century-scale warming is at the upper limit of rates in the pre-anthropogenic era: Mulvaney et al. find that the most recent warming is faster than 99.7% of any other given 100-year period in the last 2000 years. Why then, doesn't this lead simply to the conclusion that this that recent warming and associated ice shelf collapse and glacier acceleration on the Antartic Pensinula is the result of human activities?
Well, as we've noted on many previous occasions, attribution of climate change to specific causes is not simply a matter of looking at whether a particular year or decade is "exceptional" or not. Mulvaney and coauthors have been careful, both in their paper and in interviews about it, to avoid the suggestion that their results are any sort of "smoking gun" pointing towards an anthropogenic cause of the recent warming trend on the Antarctica Peninsula. As I tried to make clear in my News&Views commentary that accompanies their paper, I largely agree. Century scale warming trends comparable to that of the last century have happened before, without any influence from humans, and if we didn't have any data other than this one ice core, we really couldn't say much more than that.
What's missing from this argument, of course, is that we do have other data. For one thing, recent rapid warming in Antarctica isn't limited to the Peninsula. Whatever you may have read in some quarters, the borehole temperature data from WAIS Divide show definitively that West Antarctica is warming too — and in recent decades at least, the rate has been comparable to that on the Peninsula. More importantly, warming is occurring on the Peninsula at the same time that most of rest of the planet is warming. As the figure illustrates, in the Southern Hemisphere that warming has been nearly monotonic since about 1920, whether one is talking about the Southern Hemisphere as a whole (top panel of the figure), at James Ross Island (bottom panel), or at Orcadas in the South Orkney Islands, the one and only location south of 60°S that has a century long instrumental temperature record. This makes it much harder to argue that it is merely "local variability" that explains the recent warming trends. The James Ross Island results thus add yet one more bit of evidence to what we already knew: global warming is.. well, global.
Certainly, this is not the last word. A fly in the ointment here is that at least part of the most recent warming trend may be anthropogenic, yet not due to greenhouse gases in the troposphere. As many studies have argued (see e.g. the review by Thompson et al.), the stratospheric ozone hole has caused changes in the winds around Antarctica, and one of the consequences appears to be advection of warm air from the north onto the Antarctic Peninsula, especially on the east side (where James Ross Island is) during summer. Of course, the ozone hole didn't exist before the 1970s, so it clearly can't be invoked for the warming since the 1920s, but any formal attribution study will need to take this, as well as "global warming", into account.

The Open Source Brewing Movement
The internet has had a monumental impact on bringing together like-minded folks to freely share education and creativity. The information sharing juggernaut has also been integrated into the craft beer brewing community. Nowhere is this more evident than a growing number of professional, for-profit, breweries openly sharing their beer recipes with homebrewers (and often, their primary customer). They've taken one of their most valuable intellectual assets and put it out there for the community to embrace and learn from.
The Open Source Spectrum
There are a number of breweries that openly share their recipes. A few that come to mind are Modern Times, Avery, Deschutes, and Ballast Point. There is a spectrum of open source ranging from all of their recipes, to a few select beers, to sharing the ingredients but not the proportions. However, these brewers obviously embrace their homebrewing roots and provide a platform for others to either recreate a known entity or use it as a springboard to something altogether different.
I spoke with Kenny McNutt, one of the owners of MadTree Brewing Company, about the subject. Kenny shares, "So much more goes into taste than the base recipe. You've got geometries and personalities of the equipment, mods to the process, WATER, ingredient sourcing, yeast management, and things intangible like brand."
[pullquote-left]For MadTree, it wasn't a reason of why would they disclose their recipes but why not.[/pullquote-left]They have planned on releasing their recipes since before they opened but silly stuff like actual beer brewing and business-running have gotten in the way. However, my badgering should hopefully get it put back on the priority list. You might even get them to share it with you directly if you ask nicely on a day when they're not too busy.
Current Open Source Brewers
Modern Times
A relatively new brewery out of San Diego, they have chosen to post all of their recipes on the popular Beer Smith brewing software's cloud service. They currently have 15 different recipes posted in convenient standard 5 gallon batch formats. About the only thing not shared is the water composition. While they do not distribute in the Cincinnati area, it should be pretty easy to trade for their canned beers – especially when you can return the favor with our local cans – if you want to benchmark your efforts.
Updated 4/21/2014: MadTree recipes now posted at www.madtreebrewing.com! They have posted recipes for 5-gallon batches that tell you pretty much everything but the yeast strain. Although, one could probably take some educated guesses on which to use your ask for advice by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
You will also find many of the recipes for the seasonal releases!
Ballast Point
This famous San Diego brewery grew out of the back of a homebrew store (which they still continue to operate) and has recently launched a "Homework" series of beers with the recipes printed right on the bottle labels. Currently, they have released two beers under the Homework label, a hoppy red ale and a Belgian-style double IPA. Pay close attention as the recipes vary between 10 and 5-gallon batches.
The well known Georgia brewer (which should be coming to our area some time in 2014) has provided the ingredients for their beers but not the corresponding volumes so it will take a bit more skill and/or trial-and-error to nail their recipes.
Now that they have made their way to Ohio, we can easily sample the desired result while using their loose recipe guidance to take a stab at making your own. They provide detailed information with the exception of the temperatures, times, and weights. Therein lies the challenge and the reward when you nail it.
The Future
I am only speculating here, but I suspect this open source mentality will continue to gain momentum. It becomes another way for a brewery to connect with their fans as well as promote the homebrew and general craft beer movement.
Also, just because it isn't posted online doesn't mean the brewery isn't willing to share or help. I've received a boatload of knowledge from Scott LaFollette of Blank Slate Brewing Company about homebrewing. Just don't be a jerk about it and make it worth their time. I suggest you have specific questions and demonstrate a passion and respect for brewing, rather than just plopping down and demanding they tell you how to make beer.
Cheers and good luck, brewers!

Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
Didn't your pals over at pff or whatever say that Clady wasn't very good last season?
Top Five Tackle?
It's just my opinion, but while I think Joe Thomas is the best tackle in football I still think the position he plays means he's overpaid. I'm not so shortsighted as to know some will value left tackles considerably more than I do. That's their prerogative. So if Joe Thomas is worth all that money, and that's the amount the game's top left tackle should be paid, then why would Ryan Clady feel entitled to the same?
Perhaps I've been a little harsh on Clady in the past. The truth is he's developed into a good tackle. Last year was a down year for sure, but with the installation of what was essentially a gimmick offense, and having a quarterback who held onto the ball longer than anyone else, there are some mitigating circumstances. We handed him a -24.1 grade, with most of the damage being done with some poor run blocking and 12 penalties surrendered. His pass blocking, always his strength, was also sub-standard but not by such a distance that he gave up a huge amount of pressure. As mentioned earlier, he actually gave up less total pressure in 2011 (including playoffs) than he did in his famed rookie year where he didn't give up a single sack.
You get a better appreciation of what he can do when you look at his 2009 and 2010 seasons. In '09 he gave up 34 sacks, hits, and hurries and finished 15th in our pass blocking grading (and 15th overall) and in '10 he moved up to seventh in pass protection and ninth overall while giving up 37 QB disruptions. Those are solid credentials, but he's never outplayed Jake Long or Joe Thomas, never had the kind of year that Jason Peters just had, and has never impressed like Andrew Whitworth has since he moved to full-time starting tackle.
With those four guys as the top left tackles in the game when healthy, Clady should consider his peers the likes of Eugene Monroe, Michael Roos, Duane Brown, Jordan Gross, and D'Brickashaw Ferguson. Would any of them reasonably expect to get paid more than Joe Thomas? What's more would they expect it after having the kind of year Clady had?
I have to say though, I do find it funny how you "stats" guys seem to pick and choose what you want to use to base opinions on when it suits your opinion.
At the end of the day, it's subjective. What do you consider to be very good vs elite? Where is the cut off? To me, the "elite" term gets thrown around WAY too much.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
One of their biggest flaws IMO in OL rating is one of the considerations I use for disginguishing between an elite player on the OL and what isn't. (FWIW, I won't quibble if you don't want to say elite and instead just say he's one of the better in the league...semantics). I certainly think he's top five, which I would call elite, but if you don't, then that's fine.
Regardless, what makes him that IMO is that he is ALWAYS on an island. They never provide him help, even against elite-level competition. That he stands up on his own requiring no help - even though he's not a Jon-Ogden-level perfect in that space - and plays that role at a very high level, to me, makes him elite. Stick him in at LT, then forget about worrying about the edge rusher. There aren't a lot of guys you can say that about.
That, to me, makes him elite.

Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
i will say that while the numbers do show a significant dropoff in clady"s play the last 2 years, there are some mitigating factors. One being he was coming off a major injury in 2009, and last year he had was protecting a QB who held onto the ball for dear life in the pocket. That cannot be overlooked.
Now, as far as him being an "elite" LT, don't know if I am going that far. I mean even under the worst circumstances the top tackles seem to have at least a decent season, and Clady has had anything but the past 2 years. The real measuring stick will be 2012, where he has probably the best QB in the history of the game behind him, who gets the ball out so fast it is almost impossible to have bad sack/pressure stats. There should be a MASSIVE improvement in every metric this year, if he is an "elite" tackle.
Right now I would say top ten, but until he actually shows something "elite" on the field I can't put him any higher.
He can change that if he plays lights out in 2012, like a true elite LT. All the excuses are gone.Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/#!/thenflanalyst
Re: Steelers Ink Antonio Brown
Brown must be an interesting athlete. i was watching a classic game on the Big Ten Network which Brown was playing in. the announcer said Brown was a walkon for central michigan and was a real freshman who was having a great freshman year. he is drafted by the squealers in the 6th round and is voted their MVP in his second year. this guy must be your classic overachiever.

|The transmission they installed after the second failure was another rebuilt unit. They didn't bother to repair the unit they installed. I pressed the mechanic for information on what happaned, but he claimed not to remember. How could the TV cable have caused the failure? It's fairly simple to adjust, push it in, floor the pedal or open the throttle manually, and it's done. I checked the adjustment, it was fine.
MAny things cause the 3/4 pack to wear out .
The shop could be over looking a loose input shaft into the aluminum drum.
Bad sealing ring surface in the stator support.
Worn out boost valves, weak PR spring.
bad TV cable adjustment.... it is adjusted correctly??
It appears they are not correcting the problem with the 3/4 frictions.
|Thom Laybourne
Gone & gone again
Hey. Sounds like you enjoy fixing these things. But what is causing all of the problems? Why do they keep going out? A very good source of knowledge is the local junk yard. Very few cars are there because of faulty trans. You may have a flex plate problem, shaft alignment, etc. Check with a local about the specifics of your car. They know a lot of common problems.
Good luck.
Check out the Trans-Go site... http://www.transgoperformance.com/
They have all the info and parts you'll need and an excellant customer service department...
700-R4 no 3-4 please help.
OK guys, I have used the search button and read what was there regarding the no 3-4 gear issue. However, I still have some unanswered questions so please bear with me, I will try to be as specific as possible.
I have an '88 T/A GTA 143,000 & about 3,000-4,000 on a 1 yr. old rebuilt tranny. The last trans went when the torque converter grenaded in traffic. (I wasn't driving it at the time, so I don't know) I had a local shop install a rebuilt unit. About 3-4 months after they installed the unit, I lost 3rd and 4th while driving ormally. Since it was under warranty, I had them fix it, no problem. Now it's 2 months out of warranty and again while getting onto Rt. 50 everything was normal, shifter was in OD, trans was in first, then second, then third, wait no something's wrong the enigne is revving like crazy, WTH? When the shifter is in OD, I have first and second fine, slips (very badly) in third and no fourth. I can shift it manually into first and second just fine as well, but slips in manual third and no fourth. I understand that the 3-4 clutches are probably toast. I wasn't dogging the car though, and it's happened twice, so what keeps causing 3-4 to go? And more importantly how can I prevent it from happening again? I intend to rebuild it myself this time, and I have read that packing the clutches with a tighter clearance can help. Anything you guys can clue me in on for the rebuild would be nice as well. Thanks in advance.

Dear colleagues
I'm recently having a problem with one of my students which is a terribly slow- learner! Of course there are some slow-learners in all classes but I think this guy is unique!
In order to help the slow learners in my classes, I usually go to them in person to give them more practice while others are doing extra activities on the main lesson and structures that I have already taught to the whole class.
But unfortunately the student I mentioned (he is a 7-8 year old boy) gets very little of the lesson I dare say just some vocabularies and the practices are of little help. After 10 minutes he again forgets what he has learned or better said what he has repeated! For example after more than 10 times showing the picture of a tiger ,repeating its name, singing a song about it and doing a puzzle having a picture of a tiger he again cannot recall its name!
Now what can I do to help him?

The Canadiens head into All-Star weekend on a high with a resounding 7-2 win over the number one team in the league.
Max Paciorety made franchise history by scoring the 11,400th home-ice goal … to make it 5-0 in the second period.
This game illustrated why no sane person bets on sports.

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger says keeping faith with his current squad is vital to their end-of-season run-in.
Arsenal have endured a testing fortnight in all competitions, giving themselves a mountain to climb against AC Milan in the Champions League before heading out of the FA Cup at Sunderland last weekend.
Wenger's side currently occupy fourth place in the Premier League and the Frenchman remains confident they can keep that position if they keep their belief.
"When you are in our situation at the moment, it is important you show faith in your players and stick with them," he said.
"We live in a world where everybody is positive when it goes well, but life is not only ups, it is ups and downs. Successful lives are about how people respond when you are down.
"When you have to face what we have faced this year and are in the position we are in - in the championship - I do not think the players have done too badly."
Arsenal's Champions League hopes appear all but over after the 4-0 defeat at the San Siro but Wenger admits it was simply just one of those nights.
"It can happen that you lose a game like in Milan," he said. "When you go to Milan in the last 16 of the Champions League, do you really think the players do not want to perform? You have played football. You can say that can happen in a smaller game.
"Sometimes it is difficult to understand how people can respond to a situation like that. Everybody wants to be a star, to be the best player in the world and everybody wants to win the Champions League."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

There's really no "specific" time line, it all depends on you! If you feel like you are at the point in your life with your situation and your current dog that you can handle it, by all means go ahead!
The only "NO'S" I've ever heard is getting two PUPPIES at the same time, because it is really hard trying to go through obedience with both. However I've known several people to do it successfully.
I think I'll be getting another one once my six month old is about the age of yours
Is it too early do get another dog?
We got teddy at 5 months old and he is 14 months old now. Teddy loves other dogs and has never shown any aggression towards another dog or person. He listens well. Teddy is always trying to play chase with the kids like he does with other dogs. We have no friends who have a dog who will play with him. There are some in our daughters agility class but we don't know the owners very well. Teddy lived with other dogs before and loved to play with the other dogs but that was at the breeders. Other dogs have come into our home and he had no issues. Our breed choices are a GSD mix, border collie, Aussie, and English springer spaniel. My duaghter does agility with our current dog and is planning on doing agility with our next one. Teddy is very well bonded with us and I think we r ready to add another dog to our family.

June 23, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Alex Crockett from Jamestown and Cody Sain from Medina have been named as the 2014 recipients of the Peyton Manning Scholarship at the University of Tennessee.
The Manning Scholarship, which is in its 17th year, is awarded annually to incoming first-year students that have also previously been selected into the prestigious Haslam Scholars program. Including Crockett and Sain, the program has now honored 21 students.
The annual presentation ceremony was held Monday afternoon at the Peyton Manning Locker Room at Neyland Stadium, and Manning was joined by Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek and Provost Susan Martin as well as the honorees and their families. Nora Hassell, the 2006 recipient of the scholarship, also attended and spoke at the event about the scholarship program's impact on her life.
"This program continues to be a great connection for me and my family to this great university," said Manning. "My four years here in Knoxville were wonderful and filled me with so many great memories. I am grateful, through this program, to be able to provide many of those same opportunities and chances that I had to others."
Crockett, a 2014 graduate of the Alvin G. York Institute in Jamestown, was the local chapter president of the National Honor Society and also served as the local, regional, and state 4-H President while in high school. The team captain for both the Scholars Bowl and Envirothon, Alex was the founder and creator of Students Helping Students, a peer group that assisted underprivileged students. He will major in Food Science Technology/Pre-Professional at UT, and he was valedictorian of his high school class.
"I remember hearing a quote from Peyton once that life is about making decisions, first you ask questions, then you listen to the answers, then you listen to your heart," said Crockett. "I never dreamed I would be a Peyton Manning Scholar and would be compared to such a great representative of the University of Tennessee. When I received that award letter, I was so humbled to be a part of this family."
Sain, who graduated from Humboldt High School in Medina in 2014, participated in a wide variety of activities in high school, including many hours of community service each year. His community-minded approach was exemplified by membership in the 4-H club and service as both a mentor for the Boys and Girls Club of Humboldt and as a peer leader for the Tennessee Teen Institute. Sain, who will be a Pre-Medical/Microbiology major at UT, also ran cross country and track at the varsity level while also contributing as a basketball statistician.
"This scholarship is a blessing," said Sain. "With every week comes something new, it just changed my life. With this scholarship, I know people believe in me and that helps me believe in myself even more. With that, I plan to do great things."
Manning, a speech communication major who finished at the top of his 1997 graduating class, holds Tennessee career passing records with 89 touchdowns, 11,201 yards, and a 62.5% completion percentage. During his four-year career at Tennessee from 1994-97, Manning was honored with numerous awards that generated $165,000 in scholarship funds, including the Burger King-Vincent de Paul Draddy National Scholar-Athlete Award, the Davey O'Brien Foundation Award, and the American Honda Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Manning also received the prestigious Sullivan Award, honoring America's top amateur athlete, as a senior in 1997.
The only five-time Most Valuable Player in NFL history, Manning has been named to 13 Pro Bowls, the most for any quarterback all-time. The 2014 season will be his 17th in the NFL and his third as a member of the Denver Broncos (2012-14) after previously spending 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts (1998-2011). Manning ranks second in NFL history in passing touchdowns (491), passing yards (64,964), and completions (8,452).

Find the studs, then attach the bin holders
Here's a simple, no-nonsense way to prevent your recycling bins from hogging precious floor space or getting kicked around the garage: Hang them on the wall.
For a standard 20-in.-long bin, all you need is an 18-in.-long 2x4 at the bottom of the column of bins, and a 1x4 and a 2x4, both 18 in. long, for the top lip of each bin. Level and screw the bottom 2x4 cleat to studs wherever you want the column to start. Then screw the top cleat pieces together with 1-5/8-in. screws (Photo 1). Use the bin as a spacer to position the top cleat for each bin. Draw a line to mark the top of the cleat (Photo 1) and then screw it to the wall with 3-in. screws (Photo 2). Repeat the process for each bin, hang them on the wall and then you can stop kicking those cans!

Feds: Global warming endangers …. Wolverines!
posted at 9:30 am on February 1, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
I'm pretty sure this will be the plot line of the next remake of Red Dawn. Come on, it can't be any more ridiculous than an invasion by North Korea, right?
The tenacious wolverine, a snow-loving carnivore sometimes called the "mountain devil," is being added to the list of species threatened by climate change — a dubious distinction that puts it in the ranks of the polar bear and several other animals that could see their habitats shrink drastically due to warming temperatures.
Federal wildlife officials on Friday will propose Endangered Species Act protections for the wolverine in the lower 48 states, a step twice denied under the Bush administration.
The Associated Press obtained details of the government's long-awaited ruling on the rare and elusive animal in advance of Friday's announcement.
There are only 250 to 300 wolverines in the contiguous U.S., clustered into small, isolated groups primarily in the Northern Rockies of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Washington. Larger populations persist in Alaska and Canada.
Maxing out at 40 pounds and tough enough to stand up to grizzly bears, the animals will be no match for anticipated declines in deep mountain snows that female wolverines need to establish dens and raise their young, scientists said.
Can't you see it? The climate-change deniers head to the hills, sneak back in town on a hot afternoon for supplies and information, while the UN keeps their parents and friends prisoner with hockey sticks. They meet up with their father, who says, "Now you know why I was so tough on you … making you shovel the driveway by hand rather than buy a snowblower." As they walk off, the father yells, "Cool me, boys! COOL ME!"
You have to go quite a way into the actual article, though, to find out why the wolverines are down to the low hundreds. It's not from global warming; it's from trapping, and that only takes place in Montana now. Most of that damage took place before the 1930s, and they're actually slowly rebounding everywhere but Montana.

Thursday 28th October 2010
Myles, a Kent-based Gooner, is currently enjoying life as a student based in the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and as a result he had reliably informed me it is a great city to go out in on a Wednesday night. With our Carling Cup tie taking place it was simply too good an opportunity to turn down!
Consequently I am writing these thoughts while waiting for my flight back south and graced with a huge bout of the usual nausea!
While discussing last night's events with my fellow traveller Uncle Dave over a strong black coffee this morning his sarcastic (I think!) claim that he doesn't remember too much about the game probably demonstrates the kind of day/night it turned out to be.
If our first goal was graced with a degree of good fortune, the whole performance certainly wasn't. Once again this was a starting line up that saw nine changes from Sunday and emphatically demonstrated the strength in our current squad.
Of course some can argue our hosts made a similar number of changes but so did they in the last round and they turned over Chelsea in their own back yard.
A Wednesday night, live on the TV, the Carling Cup, away at our furthest possible destination on the football map, all the ingredients for a smaller following. Well over three thousand travelling Gooners is not only hugely impressive but we were lucky enough to witness an awesome 4-0 away victory in what on paper was an extremely tough cup tie.
Our second goal was laced with a small degree of controversy after the Geordies' centre half collided with Nicky Bendtner but let's be honest Usain Bolt wouldn't have caught Theo on last night's form. His two cool finishes on the night either side of Nicky's thumping strike completed a night well worth celebrating.
And of course it would have been rude not too!
A top top night out to whack the icing all over a massively enjoyable Carling Cup cake!
Saturday lunchtime's draw will determine who we take on in the last eight before our latest London derby as we take on the Hammers.
Always a fixture with an edge to it we need to be ready, sharp and up for it to pick up all three points.
Right, another paracetamol for me!

'"That's the difference in the game," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "If you put one of (the power-play opportunities) in, you're in good shape. You build it in the game that they're going to score in the game, but to do that two times in a row really took a lot of life out of us."'

Most of us have already heard that Sybase will become part of SAP — or, to be more precise, that SAP and Sybase announced that SAP's subsidiary, SAP America, Inc., signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire Sybase. When this acquisition takes place, there will be various impact areas across SAP and Sybase's combined portfolio. Rather than discussing this big picture, I would like to focus on SAP for Banking.

Your family has just finished dinner when someone at the table starts feeling a burning sensation in their chest. It is not your spouse or Aunt Mabel, but your child. The burning sensation, or heartburn, is one symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
GERD happens when acid and food flow back up from the stomach and into the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach), potentially damaging the esophagus. GERD can cause chronic problems, such as regurgitation or respiratory problems.
Although symptoms are similar, this is not to be confused with gastroesophageal reflux (GER). GER is common in infants and children. It eventually goes away on its own without treatment.
According to a study in The American Journal of Gastroenterology , children with GERD may be at risk for having this condition as an adult, as well. Fortunately, researchers say that detecting and treating GERD during childhood may result in better outcomes later in life.
What Causes GERD?
GERD is caused by the weakening of a muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). When you swallow, it contracts to prevent stomach contents from flowing back up, or regurgitating, into the esophagus. Certain foods, medications, and conditions can relax the LES, allowing acid to regurgitate. It may also occur as a result of impaired or absent muscle tone.
If your child has GERD, the doctor may recommend avoiding:
- Spicy, acidic, or tomato-based foods
- Fatty or fried foods
- Citrus products, such as orange juice
- Chocolate
- Caffeinated drinks, such as soda, coffee, tea, or hot chocolate
Teenagers should also avoid smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol, and those with GERD have an added incentive not to. These activities can worsen their symptoms.
What Are the Symptoms?
Symptoms of GERD in children include:
- Severe abdominal discomfort
- Lower chest pain
- Heartburn
- Sensation of food or liquid regurgitating into the throat or mouth
- Sensation of food stuck down in the throat
- Difficulty or pain while swallowing
- Vomiting
- Poor weight gain or weight loss
- Respiratory problems, such as wheezing, coughing, or pneumonia
GERD can cause other health complications for your child that occur over a long period of time. These include:
- Esophagitis—an inflammation of the esophagus
- Stricture—a narrowing of the esophagus that may make swallowing difficult
To help your child communicate how they are feeling and to better understand the symptoms, ask your child the following questions:
- Where does your tummy hurt? (Ask your child to point to where it hurts.)
- Does it hurt in your chest?
- Does it hurt when you eat or drink?
- Do you get a yucky or sour taste in your mouth? Does it taste like throw-up?
- Does food sometimes get stuck in your throat?
What Are the Treatment Options?
GERD can usually be diagnosed based on your child's symptoms and a physical exam. Additional diagnostic tests are often not required. Once the diagnosis is made, it can be treated through lifestyle changes, medications, and rarely, surgery.
Lifestyle Changes
The first step is changing your child's diet. This may relieve mild symptoms. Avoiding GERD "trigger" foods may be the first step. The doctor may also suggest feeding your child smaller meals and avoiding food 2-3 hours before bedtime. The doctor may also suggest that you elevate the head of your child's bed 6-8 inches (15-20 centimeters) or have your child sleep on the left side.
Medications prescribed to treat GERD in children decrease the amount of acid produced in the stomach. These include H2-blockers and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
Surgery, such as a procedure called fundoplication, is rarely used to treat children with GERD. Rather, it is reserved for severe cases or when medications and lifestyle changes do not relieve symptoms.
Take Action Now
GERD can be an uncomfortable condition for both you and your child. But, there is help available. Recognizing and relieving symptoms now may benefit your child's health down the line.

Paul certainly deserved 59s across the board for artistic impression, and mostly 58s for technical (with perhaps a few 57s -- certainly no lower than one 56, IMHO, compared with the greater mistakes of others, so the 54s and 55s given were just political-scoring). Skating fans are lucky that Paul's Olympic silver medal allowed him the opportunity to give us so many exquisite professional performances including Miss Saigon, JFK, On the Waterfront, Carmina Burana, and Schindler's List.

Double Panda!!! Oh my gosh!

Double complete panda. What does it mean?
The difference here, of course, is that now the panda is the odd man out. Seems like a counterpoint to yesterday's shirt.
Wheee....nice win, jas. More elegant lunchroom wear for everyone.
panda's got that raccoon oh-I-just-got-caught look on his face: "...what" :]
This shirt makes me wonder, are pandas vegan or vegetarian?
Well, I do need another green panda/polar bear shirt to match the one I just bought yesterday...
I like to think that the shirts from yesterday and today are part of one cohesive universe where a polar bear and a panda were switched at birth.
Get on this thing, Hollywood!
almost a triiiiiiiiiple panda!!!!

so true and so sad that something more interesting didnt make it.
this derby shouldnt have allowed pandas. Most people are suckers for any cliche cute animal.
Since yesterday's shirt is so similar to today's, will it affect the sales of this shirt?
Another Panda shirt? I like panda's as much as the next guy but two panda shirts in one derby is a bit disappointing.

I think this shirt pandas to vegetarians. Or it's fishing for compliments.
Panda Vu
YAAAAY JASNEKO! Congrats on a print!
Huh, I totally thought completely different shirts would place. Then again voting seemed really high on Friday and Saturday so I was thrown off.
Congrats Jasneko! People love pandas! =D
I guess kelly green is THE complementary color to panda coloring.
Can I wear this shirt while eating cookies, too?
As long as I don't get crumbs or chocolate on it. I know how to treat my shirts properly!
What's really weird is that this is not only reminiscent of yesterday's panda shirt, but Friday's zombie shirt as well. Strangest derby I can recall.
This shirt is unrealistic. Polar bears don't have food.
this design looks fantastic on green! the colors are great and the bears are cute--what more could you want from a $10 shirt?
(hey, it worked yesterday! >=b)

You made me laugh and get sad at the same time.
Applicable two days in a row, I present:
The Sneezing Panda
I can see a swift death to Pandamonium after this week. Only Chinese orders can save it now. There's an idea, open a china woot & we could end the trade deficit with panda shirts.

Maybe because they all had multiple characters with one odd one out? Oh wait, that was the theme!
When I clicked on the blow-up, I laughed so hard I cried. Excellent job to the artist, Jasneko! Sell out worthy!
Awww! I hope this doesn't mean that "No pandas" will become a permanent restriction on Derby entries...
Oh my gosh! I did not expect this after yesterday's shirt... I almost didn't even check... whoa @_@ It's a little weird to place after yesterday's print... but so great that so many people liked it - I think this is the highest votes I've ever gotten! This is also printing right around my 2 year anniversary of entering the derbies, which is kind of neat.
Thanks to all the supporters!
I'm noticing a theme...
I can see the new derby rule now.....no pandas (or not-a-pandas)
It's really a shame that this shirt will be seen as "the second panda shirt," because it's really awesome-looking. Straaaaaaaange things happ'n at Woot.

Open Skies accord

The U.S. and the European Union reached an agreement on an expansion of their historic 2007 Open Skies accord that will provide for greater U.S-EU cooperation on a wide range of aviation issues. The agreement was concluded after eight rounds of talks, the most recent of which included three days in Brussels, Belgium. This makes good on President Obama's promise to European leaders that such an understanding would be met this year. This accord affirms that the terms of the 2007 agreement will remain in place indefinitely; and it also deepens U.S.-EU cooperation in aviation security, safety, competition, and ease of travel. In addition, it provides greater protections for U.S. carriers from local restrictions on night flights at European airports.

WHAT: Judges of the United Nations Appeals Tribunal will announce a synopsis of judgments in 35 cases at the United Nations in New York on Friday, October 29, 2010. Amongst the much anticipated judgments is a case of sex discrimination that international human rights organization Equality Now has been closely monitoring and supporting for over two years. A brief description of the sex discrimination case is enclosed with this Advisory.
Equality Now has been campaigning for a reform of the UN internal justice system, so that victims of sexual harassment and sex discrimination within the UN have an effective redress mechanism. Over the past two years at least three sexual harassment cases and one sex discrimination case in different agencies within the UN system from different parts of the world have been brought to the attention of Equality Now. In studying these cases, Equality Now has noticed several trends in the response by the various UN agencies handling each of these cases, including a lack of transparency and accountability. It should be noted that victims of sexual harassment and sex discrimination in the UN do not have access to outside courts due to immunity enjoyed by the UN. This was seen recently in the sexual harassment case of Cynthia Brzak where the US Supreme Court declined to review the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals' decision that the United Nations and its officials are "absolutely immune" from lawsuits, leaving Ms. Brzak, who has no faith in the UN internal system of justice, without redress.
Over a year ago the UN carried out a reform of its internal system of justice. While this reform did not touch on investigation of claims, it established a new justice system with independent judges (as opposed to UN staff members) reviewing cases. The United Nations Appeals Tribunal is in its third session.
Yasmeen Hassan, Deputy Director of Equality Now says, "We hope that the new system is more transparent, provides due process to complainants and is effective in imposing action against the perpetrators. If the UN is truly committed to gender equality and to gender parity in the UN, it must start by assuring female employees who have been sexually harassed or discriminated against on the basis of their sex that their complaints will be treated with utmost seriousness."
WHO: The United Nations Appeals Tribunal
WHEN: Friday, October 29, 2010 at 3.00 pm
WHERE: The United Nations, North Lawn Building, Conference Room 1, New York

Summary of Olga Suhair El-Azzouni's* case (2010-079)
Underlying facts of the case: Ms. Olga Suhair El-Azzouni began work as Chief of the Centre for Women at UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) in June 2006 on a two-year fixed term contract. In July 2007, Mr. Bader Al-Dafa was appointed the Executive Secretary of ESCWA and beginning in November 2007 he began to systematically harass and discriminate against Ms. El-Azzouni, apparently because of an animus to work on women's rights which he saw as contrary to Islam.
The Executive Secretary is alleged to have (i) prevented publication by the Centre for Women of a handbook on the use of progressive interpretations of Islamic law to demonstrate compatibility with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) on the basis of comments he sought from conservative Muslim clergy and the Dean of Shari'a at Qatar University (who described CEDAW as "appearing merciful and embedding torture, fearing it may be a ploy to demoralize Arab women"); (ii) made comments that indicated a pride in "honour crimes" as a part of Arab culture; (iii) expressed views that Arab countries were forced to ratify CEDAW by Western States; (iv) told a colleague that as a Christian it was improper for Ms. El-Azzouni to be engaged in gender issues in the Muslim world; and (v) reprimanded Ms. El-Azzouni for forwarding him an open letter pertaining to a gang rape case in Saudi Arabia because it was too sensitive an issue for the Centre for Women.1 In addition, showing his disregard for the mandate of the Women's Center to promote women's rights in the region, he deleted the title "Equality, Equity and Justice" on a newsletter prepared by Ms. El-Azzouni.
In April 2008 Ms. El-Azzouni was told that her contract would not be renewed. While requesting review of this decision, she was laterally transferred to a non-supervisory position without consultation.
Process within the UN system:
Ms. El-Azzouni brought her case to the Joint Appeals Board (JAB) in May 2008 requesting a suspension of the decision not to renew her contract. She also brought a case of discrimination and harassment to the Panel on Discrimination and other Grievances (PDOG) in May 2008.
In August 2008, the JAB found that the non-renewal of Ms. El-Azzouni's contract violated her due process rights and unanimously recommended suspension of action until the PDOG report had been completed. The Secretary-General's office, however, did not accept the JAB's recommendations and her contract expired.
In September 2008, the PDOG found the non-renewal of Ms. El-Azzouni's contract by the Executive Secretary of ESCWA to be an abuse of discretionary authority. In its report, the PDOG expressed dismay in learning "of instances in which the personal views of the Executive Secretary determined institutional policy rather than the norms and standards of the United Nations." The PDOG recommended that Ms. El-Azzouni "should be offered a new fixed-term contract to serve at the discretion of the Secretary-General, within the field of competence of the Complainant and in an area agreeable to the Complainant..." The PDOG also recommended that she should receive monetary compensation for no less than 3 months net base salary and recommended "mandatory gender sensitivity and cultural diversity training for ESCWA staff at all levels."(emphasis in the original) The Secretary-General has not responded to these recommendations.
In October 2008, Ms. El-Azzouni submitted an appeal to the UN JAB on the decision of the Administration of ESCWA not to renew her fixed term appointment, which the Secretary-General responded to, including by challenging the finding of the PDOG and stating that Ms. El-Azzouni had not met her burden of proof to show abuse of authority. The case was reassigned to the UN Dispute Tribunal (UNDT) on 1 July 2009.
A hearing was held on 5 January 2010 and the UNDT rejected her claims on 14 January 2010 holding that a "mutual loss of confidence" between Ms. El-Azzouni and the Executive Secretary was sufficient for the latter not to renew Ms. Azzouni's appointment. This is contrary to established UN jurisprudence that non-renewal cannot be based on improper motives such as an animus to gender equality work underlying the "mutual loss of confidence" in this case.
Equality Now wrote to the UN Appeals Tribunal in March 2010 expressing concern about the UNDT's opinion which ignored the testimony showing that underlying basis of the Executive Secertary's animus towards Ms. El-Azzouni was her commitment to gender equality which was central to her job.
Ms. Azzouni's appeal to the UN Appeals Tribunal was filed in March 2010. The Executive Secretary retired in September 2010 without completion of Ms. Azzouni's case and without any disciplinary action being taken against him. A synopsis of the UN Appeal Tribunal's judgment is expected to be delivered at the UN on 29 October 2010.
Next steps:
• The Secretary-General should accept the findings of the PDOG.
• Ms. El-Azzouni should be reinstated in her job or be provided a comparable job within the UN system.
• Ms. El-Azzouni should be compensated for the harm done.

I am considering an online TEFL course but am not in a normal situation so have some specific questions that I hope someone could help me with. I am not a teacher, I am an engineer who spends a good portion of the year working on ships which have limited and sometimes no access to the internet. I have some time on my hands when offshore and would like to study TEFL as I live in an Asian country and it would help me teach my neices and other local kids who don't have much opportunity.
The main questions are about learning materials with online courses i.e.
1 Would I have to download stuff constantly or watch online videos?
2 Could I just download the material prior to leaving for my ship (if so are they big downloads)?
3 If I need to contact a tutor could I do so by email and not instant messaging?
I would love to hear from anyone who has actually done one of these önline"courses as the companies aren't being very forthcoming.
Thanks in advance.

If there was one category that stood out during all of California Spring Trials in 2012, it was definitely the growth in edibles offerings. While vegetables and herbs have been a growing trend for a few years now, the number of breeders expanding existing lines or jumping in for the first time was striking.
Here are a few of the major new introductions to look out for in the future.


text: I was doing some thinking on how good we'll be with Ben Gordon, Carlos Boozer, and whoever Rip gets traded for (probably a starting center) along with Tay, Stuck and the zoo crew, and then it hit me what if Ben Gordon RESIGNS with the Bulls. It is a possibility. He hasn't said anything about coming to the Pistons like Boozer did. It would force us to sign Turkoglu and then trade Tayshaun who has been the best Piston for the last few years. Then we'll have Stuck, Rip, Hedo, Boozer, and ????. Even though it looks good on paper, but Hedo isn't half the player Tay was on defense and he ends up taking bad shots on the offensive end. Which led me to the assumption that the future of our franchise depends on Ben Gordon's answer. Maybe Im just thinking too much but July is going to be an interesting month.

Quote from: jmblakeney on March 16, 2013, 11:00:44 PMLooks huge in the pics to me. Glad you was able to get them. JamesBlanc,I'm with James on this one....That thing looks huge!Nice, Very Nice!
Dang cool, thanks for posting. Any swarm cells? The population seemed HUGE for this early.
Ditto on saving the queen cells...those survivor genetics, ooooh those genetics. Were the bees gentle? I've just did a couple of removals so far and haven't entered the $$$ arena yet. The survivor gentics are what I'm interested in right now...Ed
Please tell me you kept the queen cells and gave them some bees to raise them. Bailey
What a good lookin' colony! Almost a shame you had to take it down but good job. It's hard to tell from the pics but it looks like the comb might have been fairly straight? Most of the external ones I get look like the comb was drawn on a spirograph!Scott
The best advice I can pass on is to keep their space as tight as you can to give them the best chance you can at defending against SHB. Those things can take over a weakened/stressed colony quick as a wink.Scott

There was a time when economies of scale swamped all other corporate attributes – and a time of stable competitive advantage – where sticking to a single core competency was sufficient. Big companies dominated. Sure, they were slow to react to market change, but they had huge cost advantages and could lock down distribution channels, suppliers, and other sources of strength.
But that is last decade's thinking. Seventy percent of the companies that were on the Fortune 1000 list a mere 10 years ago have now vanished – unable to adapt to change. In those 10 years we've seen digital disruption change the business landscape. We've watched the Internet become pervasive, embraced cloud-based applications that update multiple times a year, acquired mobile devices that connect everywhere in the neighborhood and around the globe, and embraced information workers who use their own tools to do corporate work on their own time.
Today, companies must break away from the assumption of sustainable competitive advantage and embrace adaptable differentiation, i.e., develop an agility advantage. But what does this mean? Forrester defines business agility as the quality that allows an enterprise to embrace market and operational changes as a matter of routine.


text: Hello,I am asking around to see or read rather painting processes that give the chipping effect, Blaster marks and the general rusting/metal under paint look. I have the following sprays. Hammered silver, Hammered black, Flat black, My choice of red, Satin clear coat. Most of these are the newer 2 fer 1, as in more paint coverage with less spray. I have wire brushes, Files, sandpapers and those groovy dremel sponge sanding wheels. I am painting my bucket , some of my plates and my leather boots. Thanks all!

i think it's way easier to prank people when you can laugh all you want and they won't know you're laughing.
oh my gosh i bet! i haven't used the internetz like that since i was in high school and it was common to message people on AIM with "a/s/l?" i had a lot of fun prank chatting people or whatever. haha.
but yeah so i guess this is a bit different!
i just looked up omegle, i had never heard of it. kinda reminded me of that chat roulette thing, i remember an abusive drunk housemate using that and just giving people the finger all night like it was so hilarious. anyway... there's not really interpretive dance. a little bit a movement i guess but mostly i am sitting on the floor singing. haha. but it is weird.

The Bemidji City Council, acting as the Bemidji Economic Development Authority, last night approved the sale of land on the south shore of Lake Bemidji to Grand Forks based Northridge Construction, Inc.
The sale is the latest step in the city's overall south shore development plan. Northridge bought the 2.69-acre lot that lies west of the Sanford Center for just over $350,000 and will develop a new apartment complex there.
Ryan Carlson, vice president of Northridge, says, "it's a multi-family development, an uperscale apartment complex that will be in development for the next couple of months with a planned groundbreaking in the spring of 2014."
