The Winnipeg Jets know they have to improve their defensive play if they want to make the playoffs this season.
Defenceman Tobias Enstrom says they have to be better in their own end and they have to be better on the road.
But with a short training camp and a short season, he says there isn't a lot of time to try new things.
Coach Claude Noel says they're trying to encourage a little more defensive awareness.
That includes working to ensure they don't give up scoring opportunities from key areas.
Like Enstrom though, he says with such a short camp they need to get players comfortable again as quickly as possible.

|try and look for an SJ28
So you see? Sometimes what sounds like a good deal isn't after all.... Anyhow you now know more about what things to look for, and things can only improve from now on!
There are plenty of good sailing boats out there in your size range for under 10K, - Ranger 29s, Cat 27s, C&C 27, Mirage 26/27, Ericson 27s etc. Some prime examples of these models may ask higher prices, but what the ultimately sell for may differ.
Shopping is fun, it doesn't cost a lot to look, so look lots and get a real idea of what appeals to you and what doesn't.
The boat!
I went down to look at the boat yesterday. All of your advice was right on the money; the only thing was that I did not need a surveyor to tell me it was junk! The mast was bent or twisted not sure which but ot looked strange and the spreaders were in weird spots. The rudder had latteral movement and when the boat hit a wave water came in the rudder hole on the bottom. The engine was in great shape (it really was rebuilt) so if anyones loking for a Yanmar 14hp you could probably get the boat cheap and salvage the engine. All the lines were rotton (I mean rotton). The broker asked if I wanted to put up the sails and I said no; says something about a sailboat when your afraid to put up the sail for fear of things breaking. It looked to me like the fibreglass at the base of the mast was bubbled on one side I went below deck and the wall for the head was free from the ceiling. The bottom had water in it and I saw som little cracks where the keel plates bolted onto the bottom of the boat. The boat did, however, have a tonne of racing gear including two 6inch winches. I didn't take the boat out of the water but I could see that it was seriously fouled (I can imagine what it would have looked like).
I loved the size of the boat and am convinced that I do not want anyhting smaller than twenty seven feet. I am not woried about moorage as I have a mooring block and the harbour where I live only want 100 per month for moorage and if I have to store it away from home the moorage is 140 per month (I have already researched all these costs and talked to local boat owners). In the bigger boat range I have now looked at Erwin 28' and the US 29 and in both of these boats I liked the head room (though the Irwin was not a beamy boat)
I am still looking for a boat. I have 6 thousand saved at this point and will work to increase that over the next month. I will look at "for sale by owner sites" and take more walks on the docks in my area. If anyone hears of a boat or have more recomendations on where to find a boat let me know. I am a very handy person and have acces to a full wood shop and I have some experience working with wiring. I would say my weakness is in the mechanical area but I do know the basics. So I do not mind a boat that needs work as long as I can sail it and it is structuraly sound. (one life to live why spend it trying to hold onto your money... Who cares It's just money. Budget and spend wisely but don't let fear of spending stop you from enjoying life. This may be hard for some to awallow but there it is).
Thanks for all the great advice so far guys/gals!
|I'd agree with Tenuki that having the boat relatively nearby and keeping it in the water if possible, while a bit more expensive, is definitely the way to go. Even though my boat is technically trailerable, since it is a folding trimaran... I prefer to keep it in the water. It makes the difference between deciding to go out for an afternoon sail, or not.
|btw, I almost got a SJ 24 too, really nice little boat.
FYI, example of 24 foot purchase
Breakdown of my costs so far - 24 foot Kent Ranger in decent condition except for electrical, which I can do myself:
boat sans motor - 2600
license and tax - 180
new yamaha motor - 2200
haul out and marine survey - 400
vhf radio - 130
new bulkhead compass - 120
safetly stuff ( flares, fire extingisher, etc) - 110
expected rigging survey and upgrades - 1500
My budget for purchase had been 7k. Fortunately my Admiral approved the overrun...
Now, monthly costs..
Slip fee 175
Slip fee tax and environmental fee 30
insurance 10
electric ?
Then gas and unexpected breakages etc on top of that.
I had decided that I wouldn't own a boat unless it was within 10 minutes of my house, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take impulsive afternoon sails. So I'm paying a bit more, there is cheaper moorage in puget sound but it's worth it to me to be close.
I dont know about the cost in the US but on Vancouver Island morage jumps when you go over 24' the next slip size is 30' and they charge more per foot in some places. We did the same thing as you, and first looked at catalina 27's but they were just out of our price. We ended up with a good san juan 24 for $4500 it still cost another $3000 to get it usable, the morage is another $1800 per year + $300 for haul out in the spring + bottom paint etc $500 etc etc. As for the US29 its built like crap they go for about $2400-$4000 for a mint one around here.
The legal maximum width is 8' 6" in a majority of the states. Anything wider generally requires a wide-load permit.
|True, and there actually seems like there is a break at 24 feet to 'bigger' boats. I think this may be because the width of trailerable boats has to conform to something like 8'5" to be legal on the road, so after a boat gets a certain length, all hopes of trailering go out the window and they can get beamy, which of course means more room. Then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
|Just remember one thing—boats get smaller exponentially... a boat that is 28' long is really much bigger than one that is 24' long. It isn't 17% bigger, as you would guess but more like 60% bigger. This is because boats have volume...and as the length increases, so does the width and height generally.

Chelsea kit supplier Adidas has caused a major rift with the UK's biggest sportswear retailer Sports Direct after banning Mike Ashley's company from selling the club's replica football kit next season.
The news comes as Sports Direct chief executive Dave Forsey refused to defend his company's decision to employ 90% of its staff on controversial zero-hours contracts, while reporting that pre-tax profits jumped 14.3% to £143.1 million in the six months to the end of October.
Forsey said Adidas's decision to only sell the kits elsewhere — thought to be the Chelsea shop at its stadium and Adidas stores — was "impossible to understand".
He added: "We don't believe with our football heritage that customers would be happy. We are still voicing our concerns to Adidas and Chelsea, telling them they are potentially alienating their supporters."
Sales at Sports Direct jumped 23.5% to £1.35 billion, with UK sales up 13.4%, although the shares fell more than 9%.
Forsey said it will continue looking to expand overseas and wants to be in around 10 more European countries.
He also said it was expected to hit its underlying pre-tax profit target of £310 million which will trigger another bonus payout to around 2000 staff.

'real blunt racist' is mad at me.

I suspect its because 'real blunt racist' is a slimy steenking filthy vile reprobate rooting(& rotting) racist pukey proud pig. Since 'real blunt racist' IS proud to be a slimy steenking filthy vile reprobate rooting(& rotting) racist pukey proud pig,'real blunt racist' should embrace his slimy steenking filthy vile reprobate rooting(& rotting) racist pukey proud pigisms & should sign-on as 'real blunt racist'.

Exterior Painting Services Offered in Athens
There are several things to keep in mind when it's time to paint the exterior of your home or office building.
Painting and decorating projects require specialized skills; one good reason why people pay for the services of a professional Athens exterior painter when it comes to painting their home or office.
Time restraints, convenience, safety, and health are among the other considerations for hiring a professional painting contractor.
Climbing on ladders and painting can be hazardous work; so is working with solvents and dust inhalation. Qualified painting contractors are "safety conscious," and qualified to handle these situations. Home owners who choose to do the painting themselves risk unnecessary injury.
Houses built before 1978 may have been painted with lead-based paint, proven to pose serious health risks when scraped and removed in preparation for repainting. Dust and debris from lead-based paint are a health threat to exposed individuals; working around lead-based paint, therefore, represents another safety hazard.
Our licensed, professional Athens painters have painted homes that have lead-based paint and they have been trained to take precautions to protect you and your family from these health risks. They are also trained to protect themselves and their employees.

As if in answer, at his first prime minister's questions since July yesterday Mr Blair adopted the strategy once famously signalled by Marshal Foch: "My centre is giving way, my right is retreating, situation excellent, I am attacking." Of course in September 1914, the Marshal wasn't aware there were four more years and innumerable casualties to come. Perhaps Mr Blair knows something he didn't.
However, the prime minister's offensive defence was brilliant, almost military genius. He managed to convey the impression that if you disagreed with him, or suspected him in any way, it could only be because you were deeply unpatriotic and loathed your country.
You were also ignoring the multitudinous achievements of this government which, as he constantly implies, has ended for ever the curse of unemployment, inflation and high interest rates, while turning sink schools into groves of academe worthy of ancient Greece, ending crime, curing the sick, and handing out a bag of gold to every household in Britain.
We knew he was on a roll (Mr Blair is the only man I know who can pat himself on the back while slapping someone else) when he banged on about the rate hospitals were opening, and this summer's successful exams - in Iraq.
He began the session with a tribute to the soldiers and civilians who have died in that country.
"They were doing extraordinary and heroic jobs, trying to bring normal and decent life to people in Iraq. The whole country and their families can be immensely proud of them, even while they mourn them," he said, and I swear there was a catch in his throat when he said it.
A Tory MP, Nick Hawkins, challenged him but was pounded to the floor with a long recitation of mortgage rates, tiny unemployment figures, help for pensioners, blue birds over the White Cliffs of Dover, and so forth.
But if there was a catch in his voice, there was a frog in Iain Duncan Smith's. Yes, Freddie was back, and in fighting form! Usually the joke with these acts is that the dummy is running the ventriloquist. In the case of IDS, that may be so, since his frontal attack on the prime minister was over a hitherto secret report about Geoff Hoon which may, or may not, be true. This is the kind of distinction which must seem unimportant to the average amphibian.
"Isn't this leaked wurgggh [report] another nail in the coffin [coughing] of this government?
"You can [churrgh!] get rid of Campbell, you can get rid of the defence secretary, but the lying and spin won't [gok] stop until we get rid of this prime garrrk!"
(I have exaggerated Freddie's contribution, but not much.)
Charles Kennedy chipped in. The situation was clearly unstable. Internationalisation - a favourite Lib Dem buzz word - was the solution. The UN should be called in. (Lib Dems feel the UN should be called in to address the scandal of small independent cinemas being closed down, and indeed almost anything else.)
Mr Kennedy may have thought he was scoring a point. What he didn't know was that the reply was going to come from Churchill.
"The answer is not to run away from Iraq, the answer is not to turn our back on Iraq, the answer is to see the task through - because it was the right thing to do at the time, it's the right thing to do now, and we will get the job done!"
It was an epic battle being fought by the animals, Freddie the Frog versus the British bulldog! And Charlie Kennedy.

Hopefully I'm not stepping out of bounds here... I had a similar feeling in my 1->2 and 2->3 shifts. I would pull out of first, down to neutral then back over and down to second (probably to the same effect as your holding the clutch for two seconds.) Turns out, by chance, i eliminated the "clipping" i was feeling by a.) Better rev matching instead of just coming off the acc. And b.) Getting up above 3000 rpm in those two gears.
I don't mean floor it, its still daily driving but i hold out longer before up shifting. I have a two month old clutch, fly wheel and the feeling was there in my other m, now this one both pre and post clutch change. But my shifting technique had changed and its almost not noticeable.
As far as the clunk, ive heard both sides of the story... Normal for an M, and.. Uh oh.. So I'm no help, sorry!

UPDATE 2-Schlumberger: market recovery to take longer, hints at more cost cuts
* Warns E&P spending to remain weak in 2016
* Says weak cash flows would curtail E&P spending
* Company commentary suggests job cuts possible-analysts
* Company to continue to seek M&A opportunities
* Cost cuts help Q3 EPS beat analysts estimates (Adds details, graphic)
By Amrutha Gayathri
Oct 15 (Reuters) - Schlumberger Ltd, the world's No.1 oilfield services provider, suggested that it may have to reduce costs further and cut more jobs as it expects any rebound in drilling activity to now take longer than expected.
Even if crude prices improve next year, weak cash flows would curtail the ability of oil and gas companies to increase spending on exploration and production, Schlumberger Chief Executive Paal Kibsgaard said in a statement.
"In light of conservative customer budgets for next year, we are therefore entering another period during which we will continually adjust resources in line with activity," Kibsgaard said on Thursday. Continued...

|March 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Group A (No PIES)
Subjects randomized to this group will receive clomiphene citrate (CC) without using progestin throughout their treatment course.
Drug: Clomiphene Citrate
Other Name: Clomid
Active Comparator: Group B (PIES Group)
Women randomized to this group will receive progestin to induce endometrial shedding before starting any doses of clomiphene citrate (CC)
Drug: Progestin
Other Names:Drug: Clomiphene Citrate
Other Name: Clomid
Detailed Description:
This is a prospective randomized trial of clomiphene citrate (CC) preceded by progestin-induced endometrial shedding (PIES) vs CC without PIES in the treatment of infertility in patients with PCOS, for up to 5 treatment cycles.
Participants will be randomized to receive either progestin followed by CC starting on day 3 of the induced menses, or CC without induced menses. Study participants will be monitored at regular 2 to 4 wks intervals for response to medication using ultrasound and hormonal parameters. The maximum dose of CC will not exceed 750 mg/cycle. Treatment will not exceed 5 ovulatory cycles. Participants who are resistant to 150 mg of CC will exit the study.
170 anovulatory PCOS women actively seeking pregnancy, aged 18 through 40 years will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 treatment ratio into the two study arms. Anovulation will be the only infertility factor in all patients.

If my name is misspelled in court documents, is that grounds for dismissal?
Question Details:
Received a copy of plea agreement with my name misspelled. Curious as to legality of a document that does not properly identify me.
I wouldn't make a big deal out of it, and it makes more sense to just mention it and have it fixed than anything else. The misspelling would not make it invalid, and it probably would not make it end up getting misfiled, either. The docket or case number is more what's relied on.
This sort of nit-picking issue doesn't work very often at all. Most judges want to see both sides to a case try to stick to what's important, present the case honestly. The idea is that the truth is supposed to work its way out through the process, it's not supposed to be a battle of technicalities. And, perhaps even more so than most people, judges don't like wise guys.

Daniel Hudson was eagerly looking forward to being part of a pennant race.
That hope ended with a phone call.
Hudson, one of the White Sox's top pitching prospects, was traded to the struggling Arizona Diamondbacks on July 30 in the deal that sent starting pitcher Edwin Jackson to Chicago.
"I know how aggressive the White Sox are," says Hudson, a fifth-round draft pick in 2008 from Old Dominion. "I know they're not afraid to make moves. And I'm going to a place that wants me."
He also joined right fielder Justin Upton and third baseman Mark Reynolds, who, like himself, are from the Virginia Beach area. In fact, he and Upton were on the same Little League teams when they were ages 8 and 9.
Hudson, 23, gave up three hits in eight innings in his Arizona debut (vs. the New York Mets), and was 5-2 with a 3.03 ERA through Thursday.
Sports Weekly's Bob Nightengale recently spoke with him.
On my iPod
I've got rap, country and rock. When I'm working out, I listen to rap and rock.
Xbox or PlayStation
DVD I can't live without
I'm a big fan of Entourage. I watched every season two or three times. I love it.
Golf, hunt or fish
Golf. I'm not real good, but I like to play a lot.
Other hobby of choice
I like to bowl. I do it whenever I get a chance.
One thing fans don't know about me
I used to surf when I was younger. I don't do it now, but I used to love it.
Former big-leaguer I admire most
Cal Ripken Jr. I grew up near Baltimore (in Virginia Beach) and loved watching him play whenever I could.
My "welcome-to-the-big-leagues" moment
I didn't pitch, but just getting called up and sitting in the bullpen my first day, (White) Sox vs. Cubs. The fans were going at each other. It was a day game. I'll never forget it, just looking around and soaking it all in.
Best thing about playing in Arizona
The roof. I can't imagine pitching here when it's 115 degrees.
Favorite major league ballpark
Safeco. The new stadium in Minnesota is great, but I love Safeco. The weather is nice there (in Seattle) - not too hot, not too cold. And it's a great pitcher's park.
Biggest surprise upon reaching the majors
How good the hitters are. You better make your pitches. If you don't and (you) make a mistake, they'll just hammer it.
If I could change one rule in the game, what would it be?
Enforcing the strike zone like it reads in the rule book. The belt-high fastballs aren't being called. You just would like to see them enforce the strike zone the way it's written.
If I weren't a baseball player, I'd probably be ...
Coaching baseball. I love it.
Seven questions
What was it like walking into the Diamondbacks clubhouse for the first time?
It was like I was back home seeing Justin (Upton) and Mark (Reynolds). Who would ever imagine that we would grow up together, and the three of us would end up on the same major league team? It's like a crazy dream. It's almost impossible when you think about it. I mean, what are the chances?
Did Justin (Upton) Upton look like he could be something special even back then?
Oh yeah. He was the best player on the field since I was 9. When he was in fourth or fifth grade he was a foot taller than me already. I played first base and third base and pitched, but he did everything. I can't tell you how many times the other team would walk him. He was one of those guys that stood out right away.
Were you surprised when the Chicago White Sox traded you?
I wouldn't say it was shocking, but I was surprised. But I also know how aggressive (White Sox general manager) Kenny Williams is. The team fought back to get into a pennant race, so I was a little bummed out at first, but it's nice being here.
Will it be easier to have more success in the National League than the American League?
I know pitchers have had more success over here, so it's not necessarily a myth. Still, you're facing big-league hitters.
Do you still follow the White Sox closely?
Yes, I'd love to see them do well. I keep in touch with a bunch of guys, especially (pitchers Matt) Thornton, Sergio Santos, Erick Threets.
Any regrets during your stay?
I wish I had met Jim Thome when he was there. We went to Detroit the last series of the season, and he got everybody a $300 credit for all the young guys to buy clothes at a store. That's a testament to how great a guy he is. (Note: Thome was traded from the White Sox to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 31, 2009.)
You were surrounded by a lot of veterans on the pitching staff. Did you soak up as much knowledge as you could?
I'm not a guy that asks a ton of questions. I learned as I watched. And I observed a lot. Jake Peavy, Mark Buehrle, Freddy Garcia, John Danks and Gavin Floyd. I learned how they pound and attack the strike zone
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

Once the province of half-baked implementations and useless scrolling messages, JavaScript is now a powerful, dynamic language with a rich ecosystem of professional-grade development tools, infrastructures, frameworks, and toolkits. Presented in bite-sized two-page tasks, these JavaScript tips help practitioners start quickly and save time-particularly through shrewd use of reusable code libraries.
The JavaScript ecosystem can be tough to hack through, even for experienced programmers. There are so many extensive JavaScript reference books and competing libraries to choose from-Prototype, jQuery, MooTools, YUI, Dojo, ExtJS, and so on.
Christophe Porteneuve is here to help: he gives you fundamentals, the most handy techniques, and the insider's best practices. If you're reasonably comfortable programming in any widely known language, you'll be able to jump into JavaScript in no time.
Divided into six Parts, the book starts with JavaScript code patterns that are too often ignored by JavaScript coders. Part 2 presents several essential JavaScript tasks-DOM and CSS manipulations, plus event handling and timers-in a framework-agnostic way, using syntax from all the major flavors. Parts 3 and 4, respectively, hit JavaScript's best features for user interface functionality-tooltips, lightboxes, image processing, infinite scrolling, and more-and forms for receiving and validating input. Part 5 explores the client/server relationship, touching on cookies, JSON, and Ajax (same- and cross-domain). Part 6 uses JavaScript in mashups with Twitter, Flickr, and geo-related APIs.
The appendices feature Christophe's two-page JavaScript cheat sheet, followed by hard-won tips on debugging even the most maddening JavaScript errors. Next is an even-handed assessment of the major frameworks used in the book and in most JavaScript shops today. Last, Christophe presents an extensive group of resources for using and learning JavaScript and the major frameworks.
This Pragmatic Guide is strictly focused on the techniques that will get you started in JavaScript. It's where you come to get the full scope of JavaScript in your head--fast! You'll quickly understand its core syntax, capabilities, and related frameworks. Start here first.
Christophe Porteneuve has been doing IT R&D for more than 10 years, specializing early in Web development. He joined Prototype Core in 2006, wrote Prototype and script.aculo.us in 2007, and sometimes speaks at conferences such as The Ajax Experience. He's the CTO of Ciblo.net in Paris, France, where he lives with his wife, Elodie.

Turkeys: The Good, The Bad, and The FertileBy Tara Weaver
July 23, 1998
Turkey breeders will be able to single out fertile toms using a technique that examines the swimming ability of a tom's sperm, an Agricultural Research Service scientist reports.
To measure turkey sperm movement, poultry physiologist Ann Donoghue modified a test that Oregon State University scientists originally developed for chickens. The test objectively measures what's called sperm motility--how well sperm from each male can swim into a solution at body temperature. The test mimics the environment the sperm encounter in the hen's reproductive tract.
Essentially 100 percent of the nearly 300 million turkeys produced annually in the United States for consumption are the result of artificial insemination. With advances in genetic selection, adult turkey toms can weigh up to 85 pounds. A hen, however, weighs only around 20 pounds when she begins to lay eggs. This size difference requires breeders to rely solely on artificial insemination for reproduction in their turkey flocks.
For artificial insemination of turkey hens, sperm are generally pooled from up to 10 to 15 males. So it's critical to know which males have the most viable sperm.
Information from these tests can be used to identify males that are very fertile. Likewise, the test can be used to identify "losers." In the past, most if not all semen evaluation tests have been much more effective at picking losers rather than winners. This test does both.
The potential to pick toms based on a test that correlates sperm motility with fertilizing potential could alter the way breeder toms are managed throughout the United States, Donoghue reports. By sorting out infertile toms, she estimates turkey breeders could save $5 million annually.
An in-depth story on this research appears in the July issue of Agricultural Research magazine. The story is also on the World Wide Web at:

Is buying worth it?
So i am going to be needing to nail a lot to put up my beadboard ceiling. would it make sense to just buy a nail gun and rent the compressor? i can get one for cheap, like $30 or so.
also, would it be worth it to buy a compressor?
Buy yourself a small compressor and nail gun---they use very little air--if you rent--you will wish you bought---see if there is a compressor/guns combo set on sale---
Not going to find a nail gun worth buying for $30.00.
A combo set is most often the best value.
With a small air compressor....you can air up tires....air up the kids balls....air up the kiddy pool.....blow out the ports on a carb....blow off the work bench....
And use it to drive in nails.
Shop CL...there are some good deals to be had....either a guy bought it for a project and no longer needs it or he is upgrading....
My wife uses my compressor during the summer all most as much as I do.
I bought a compressor on sale at harbor freight for $30. Its a small crappy pancake compressor. I can only shoot a half dozen nails before i need to wait and have it recharge.
That be said it was a decent buy.
I will be buying a bigger used one soon, but for occasional homeowner use, the small size is ideal and worth the hassles of use.
I only rent tools if i cant justify storing it
lowes has this set
or the porter cable's equivalent kit.. cheap and effective
I think that 6 gallon one in the Lowes link is about right for an air nailer. If you might have to carry it up stairs, you really want something portable.
Mine is a tiny, light-weight 1 gallon; the smallest one they sell at Home Depot. I wouldn't use it to run an air nailer, but it gets all my household chores done -- filling tires and blowing dust out of tools and electronics. Its only feature is that it is tiny and light-weight!
a 6 gallon works fine for finish nailers, it can run a framing gun or roofing gun provided it has a rating of cfms also.. it needs to recover quickly for bigger guns..
now using a compressor and blow tool to blow dust out of electronics is a bad idea.. the tank collects moisture which then goes through the line and out the blow tool. you should be using canned dry air sold in the computer section or electronics department
The "canned air" can cause condensation on parts, too, because it cools the parts. If you use canned air on a humid day you'll get condensation.
So I don't do it on humid days. :)
I considered buying a water separator for the compressed air, but after asking several colleagues, they all told me it was unnecessary. If I ever buy a larger shop compressor I would probably set it up with water and oil separation for cleaning, though.
thank you so much gents!
yea so doing the math, its $24 per day to rent a gun, and 24 for a compressor. so at $50 per day, say 2 days of work thats $100 easy. better to buy and keep!
this is what i am looking at:
is this ok? 6 gallons. the Lowes one is nice but too expensive
i never buy used tools, you dont know how it was used and whats been fixed on it. i have friends that have bought used tools only to spend 2x on repairs shortly after buying it
well its from amazon,and its factory restored by bostitch. so its certified to work i think.
theres less chance but even still a repaired tool never works the same as it was when it was new much like a car after its been in a accident

Fans and family were in mourning today following the news of Robin Williams' passing.
Throughout his career, Williams played roles that stretched from the outrageously funny, to the heartbreaking, profound and poignant.
As well as touching audiences with the characters he played, the warmth and humour he displayed when speaking publicly were an inspiration to millions.
As the world marks the passing of a giant of comedy and cinema, here's some of the funniest and most powerful quotes from the man and the parts he played.
On the meaning of life
The Genie on freedom
"But oh, to be free. Not to have to go "Poof! What do you need? Poof! What do you need? Poof! What do you need?" To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world.
"But what am I talking about? Let's get real here, that's never gonna happen. Genie, wake up and smell the hummus."
As the Genie, from Aladdin (1992)
Sean Maguire on bad times
As Sean Maguire, from Good Will Hunting (1997)
On addiction
John Keating on dreams
As John Keating, from Dead Poets Society (1989)
Sean Maguire on opening up
"You're an orphan right? You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally, I don't give a s*** about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you I can't read in some f***king book.
"Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't wanna do that, do you, sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief."
As Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting
And finally... Mrs Doubtfire on seizing.
From Mrs Doubtfire (1993)

The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) is looking into the introduction of a smart grid to boost energy efficiency and provide better services to consumers in the State.
The PSC has initiated a proceeding that it says will examine "all aspects" of smart grid technologies, including their implementation costs, any technical issues and the societal impacts they might have.
The proceeding involves all the State's electric utilities, which have been asked to provide information to the PSC. Kentucky's five major natural gas distribution companies have also been automatically signed up as participants, although each has 30 days to request that the PSC remove it from the case.
Other parties that wish to be involved must file a request with the PSC no later than October 30.
"The purpose of this proceeding is to determine the appropriate course for Kentucky to follow with respect to advanced technologies collectively known as smart grid," said PSC Chairman David Armstrong in a statement. "These technologies enable electric utilities to better manage their systems and may offer customers the opportunity to closely monitor and adjust their electric consumption."
The PSC also plans to examine whether the use of smart-grid technologies could be combined with a dynamic pricing system that encourages energy conservation and efficiency.
This is not the first time the PSC has looked into the introduction of a smart grid.
In 2006, it considered adopting federal smart-grid standards described in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Those standards would have required utilities to offer optional rates that varied with the time of day. Although the PSC chose not to adopt the standards, it did require the five electric utilities with generating facilities in Kentucky to offer time-based rates to their largest customers.
The federal Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 required the PSC to consider those standards once again. In 2011, it decided to adopt the federal standard requiring electric utilities to consider using smart-grid technologies whenever they invest in transmission and distribution systems.
Last month, however, it deferred taking a final decision on that standard until the proceeding launched this week has reached its conclusion.
Documents related to the earlier cases will be examined during the new proceeding, as will recent research into smart grids carried out by the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville.

Pachmarhi - Luxuriant gem of Madhya Pradesh
Pachmarhi – A Dream Vacation
India being a tropical region the temperature becomes very humid during summer. So, Indians have a tendency of visiting hill stations for enjoying their summer vacation. They even take breaks from their busy schedules and visit different hill stations to refresh their mind and soul. When people think about hill stations usually these names come to their mind viz. Shimla, Manali, Darjeeling, Ooty, Mussorie, Srinagar, Mount Abu, Munnar, Ladakh, Gangtok, etc. These are all well known hill stations in the country but very few percentage of the population knows or even heard about a hill station named Pachmarhi. It is a hill station in Madhya Pradesh state of Central India. Talking about Pachmarhi, it is one of the beautiful hill stations in Central India which is yet not discovered fully by the people of India.
The place is full of natural scenic and soothes the heart of each and every tourist visiting the place. Fresh moist air, the cool breeze, birds chirping, deserted streets, hill tops, mountain cliffs, still stream water, etc. are the things people long to see and feel. Pachmarhi is a place where tourists enjoy all these happiness of life. Some of the tourist spots in Pachmarhi are the Bee Fall, Gupt Mahadev, Handi Khoh, Apsara Falls, Jatashankar, Pachmarhi Hill, Pandav Caves, Panchali Kund, Dhupgarh (the highest peak of the Satpuras and Madhya Pradesh) and many more exciting and heart throbbing places. Pachmarhi Hill is a place where one can really visit to sit and meditate on the rock cliff. One can also enjoy the wonderful view from there.
The first thing a person is concerned about is their stay in the place where they go for a vacation. There are many hotels in Pachmarhi. They are as good as the people of that place. People of this place live a life full of peace, prosperity and happiness. Hotels in Pachmarhi provide every facility to their guests and always see to it that their guests don't face any problem during their stay in the hill station. Pachmarhi hotels does have very classy interiors and compete themselves with the world class hotels. No one can even think of that this small town has such good architecture. One will not believe until one visit some of the hotels of the hill station. Every tourist always wishes to stay in a good and decent hotel and in a reasonable price. Pachmarhi is a place where the whims and fancies of tourists get fulfilled. They get hotels with good location and facilities at affordable prices. They can enjoy all the comforts during their stay in the hotel. Hotelier's objective is to make the guest feel that he or she's staying in the best hotel in Pachmarhi. However, some of the best hotels in Pachmarhi are located in the Subash Marg, which is at walk able distance from the bus stand. The hotels may not look very attractive from outside but as the well known saying goes "never judge a book by its cover". Likewise, never judge a hotel in Pachmarhi before stepping into it.
The National Training Centre of The Bharat Scouts & Guides is located in Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh. Pachmarhi is also a suitable place for camping and adventurous training.
For reasonable hotels in Pachmarhi go for hotel ambikashree, one of the best hotels in Pachmarhi. Hotel ambikashree is situated in Pachmarhi which offers great facilities at affordable rate. Hotel ambika shree will provide more information about Pachmarhi tourism.

Here you will find pictures of Bride and Groom Nutcracker that I have made. Most were custom ordered and a couple were my own design.
Each Nutcracker is hand made from start to finish. The Bride and the Groom stands about 13" tall. They both have working jaws, however the Bride's "jaw" is her chest. Grooms can be made to look like little men or they can be made to look like Traditional Nutcrackers with hats and hair. Brides and Grooms can be painted, or clothed, their bodies can be painted or you can leave them natural wood.
If you are interested in purchasing a Custom Bridal Set please give yourself plenty of time when you order. Some sets, depending on complexity of the order, can take up to a month to create. IF you are just interested in a STANDARD Bride and Groom, meaning white dress and black tux and hair and eye color are my choosing, just let me know and I can do that as well.
Thanks for stopping by my Bride and Groom post and I hope I have answered some of your questions.
If you want to order a set you can email me at either site AFTCRA, ETSY or ARTFIRE, the banners are located at the upper right of the blog, and we can exchange ideas!
Thanks and I look forward to working with you!

Capital punishment or the death penalty is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime.
In fact, India on Monday voted against a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) draft resolution which called for abolishing the death penalty. India's contention is that every nation had the "sovereign right" to determine its own legal system.
India was among the 39 countries that voted against a UNGA draft resolution. An Indian delegate participating in the vote added that the practice of death penalty was exercised only on the "rarest of occasions" in India and the country's laws contained provisions for suspending the death penalty in the cases of pregnant women. The delegate further said that in India death sentences must be confirmed by a superior court and the accused had the right to appeal to a superior court or the Supreme Court.
Currently, 57 nations actively practise and 97 countries have abolished capital punishment or the death penalty. It is a matter of active controversy in various countries and states.
Since World War II, there has been a trend toward abolishing the death penalty. In 1977, 16 countries were abolitionist. According to information published by Amnesty International in 2012, 97 countries had abolished capital punishment altogether, 8 had done so for all offences except under special circumstances and 36 had not used it for at least 10 years or were under a moratorium. The other 57 retained the death penalty in active use.

InMinistry MAPMin Class
NTST550 Exegesis of the New Testament (English):James
Professor: Teresa Reeve
Date: November 3-7, 2013
Location: Columbia Union Conference Office
Course Description:
Because the Epistle of James speaks to an experienced Christian audience about a limited number of practical matters, it is often misunderstood. Many have accused James of being a legalistic letter advocating a kind of salvation by works, and Martin Luther called it an "epistle of straw." Rightly understood, however, James offers valuable counsel that is just as pertinent today as it was in the 1st century. In this class we will dig deeply into the Epistle of James, building and refining our exegesis skills as we seek to interpret accurately James' message.
- This class will significantly enhance students' ability to:
- Know the primary tools for the exegesis of New Testament epistles;
- Value and commit to doing careful exegesis in their own ministry;
- Understand the historical context, purpose, and key themes of the epistle of James and how this information contributes to accurate exegesis;
- Accurately exegete (interpret) any passage in James, seeking to hear the epistle's message as the 1st century believers would have understood it;
- Apply the principles learned to their own lives and to the lives of those with whom they minister in the 21st century.

CNN's Bash let Boehner advance health care reform falsehoods
Research ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
CNN's Dana Bash did not challenge Rep. John Boehner's false suggestion that the health care reform bill being considered by the House contains a tax on all small businesses. Nor did she challenge Boehner's claim that Democrats are proposing to "nationaliz[e] our health care system here."
During the July 27 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, senior congressional correspondent Dana Bash did not challenge House Minority Leader John Boehner's (R-OH) false suggestion that the health care reform bill being considered by the House contains a tax on all small businesses, a falsehood advanced by several media outlets. Boehner claimed that the bill would impose "a massive new tax increase in small businesses." In fact, companies with annual payrolls of less than $250,000 would pay no penalty under the House bill for failing to provide health insurance for employees, and only a small percentage of small business owners would be affected by the bill's proposal to levy a surcharge on high-earning individuals.
The House Democrats' bill would establish a 2 percent payroll penalty for employers with combined payroll between $250,000 to $300,000 that don't offer health insurance to employees; a 4 percent penalty for employers with $300,000 to $350,000 in payroll; a 6 percent penalty for employers with $350,000 to $400,000 in payroll; and an 8 percent penalty for companies with annual payrolls exceeding $400,000. Additionally, the bill establishes tax credits for small business employers that do provide health care.
Additionally, the legislation would establish a 1 percent tax on taxpayers filing joint returns if income exceeds $350,000 but not $500,000 per year; a 1.5 percent tax if income exceeds $500,000 but not $1 million per year; and a 5.4 percent tax if income exceeds $1 million per year, with single filers subject to the surtax starting at $280,000 per year. In a July 15 Huffington Post piece, Rep. George Miller (D-CA) stated that, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, this would affect "only 4.1 percent of all small business owners"
Moreover, during her report, Bash allowed Boehner to falsely claim that Democrats are proposing to "nationaliz[e] our health care system here in this country."
From the July 27 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:
[begin video clip]
REP. GERRY CONNOLLY (D-VA): I think it's very important to remember that a lot of suburban districts, such as mine, switched and supported both President Obama and Democrats in Congress. And I think it's very important that the message we send to those districts not be a negative one, that we're taking into account their concerns.
BASH: Concerns like tax increases, which Republicans are already stoking with press releases and a media blitz in the works targeting Connolly and other vulnerable Democrats.
BOEHNER: Democrat [sic] leaders are going to walk their members down the plank on nationalizing our health care system here in this country and require them to vote on a massive new tax increase in small businesses.
BASH: Are you worried that if this is done wrong, that this could jeopardize your seat and others like you?
CONNOLLY: Well, I -- when you run for Congress on some of these big issues, you want to make sure you get it right. And that's really where we are right now. We want to make sure we get it right.
[end video clip]
BASH: Much to the chagrin of the White House and Democratic leaders, that's something we're hearing more and more from rank-and-file Democrats. And there is also concern that they don't really know what's in the Democratic leaders' plan. It's over a thousand pages, and that is why we are down here, because we are waiting for a meeting where House Democratic leaders are going to try to educate and persuade their rank-and-file Democrats to go along with their bill.

Roasted Rack of Pork with Sausage Stuffing
Meat master Bruce Aidells stuffs this bone-in roast with sausage, mushrooms and kale, then spit-roasts the pork in a wood-fired hearth oven in his new Sonoma kitchen. "It's like one giant stuffed pork chop," he says.
Slideshow:More Centerpiece Roasts
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 10
- 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (1 cup)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 1/4 pounds kale, stems and inner ribs discarded
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 large leek, white and tender green parts only, finely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped sage
- 1 cup dry, crustless sourdough bread, finely diced (2 ounces)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- One 9-rib, center-cut rack of pork, chine bone removed (8 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon sweet pimentón de la Vera (smoked Spanish paprika)
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 450°. In a heatproof bowl, cover the porcini with the boiling water and let stand until softened, about 20 minutes. Drain the mushrooms, reserving their soaking liquid, then finely chop.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the kale and boil until just softened, about 5 minutes. Drain and chop the kale; squeeze out any excess liquid.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Add the sausage and cook over moderate heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, leek and garlic, cover and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the sage and the chopped porcini and cook 2 minutes longer. Stir in the kale, bread and cheese and transfer to a bowl to cool slightly. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the egg. Moisten the stuffing with 2 tablespoons of the reserved porcini liquid.
Set the pork on a work surface, fat side up, with the bones facing you. Using a sharp knife, run the blade along the bones, partially separating the meat but leaving 11/2 inches of it attached at the bottom. Slice through the middle of the pork, butterflying it but not cutting completely through. Open up the meat flap and season well with salt and pepper. Pack three-fourths of the stuffing into the slit in the roast and roll it back into shape. Pack the remaining stuffing between the rack and the meat. Cut nine lengths of butcher's twine and tie the roast between the bones. Place the roast in a large roasting pan, fat side up.
In a small bowl, stir the remaining 1 tablespoon of sage and 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the paprika, 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper. Spread the paste all over the meat and roast in the lower third of the oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300° and roast for 11/2 hours longer, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the meat registers 140°. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes. Remove the strings and cut the roast between the bones into individual chops.
Suggested Pairing
Merlot has lost popularity in recent years, but it's worth remembering that it's one of the world's great grape varieties. With its smoky, rich fruit and soft tannins, it also pairs well with dishes like this luxurious rack of pork. Try a Merlot from Napa Valley or Sonoma County.

My Experience with First GSD Pup, Nico
Hi All,
I just wanted to share my story about my gsd puppy. My dad has a friend who has GSD's. They had puppies and my dad wanted one to protect his home. Old school Asian people don't know the general rule of keeping the pups with the mom for 6-8wks, so my dad picked him up at 3 wks. If we didn't take him (Nico), someone else would have. I love animals so I wanted to at least give him a fighting chance so I took him home to my house for a week before i dropped him off at my parent's for my month long vacation in Thailand.
When i came back, i found out that he has been kept in the back yard with little to no socialization with any other animals or humans. My 4 lb Pomeranian was kept inside under my mom's care. I couldn't bare thinking about how he would grow up if he continued that way, so decided to take him back home with me.
He has been great. Had potty accidents, etc but I don't know of any puppies at hasn't had accidents before. I play with him every day after work. At 9 weeks, 2 weeks after he moved back in with me, he knew sit, down, stay, paw, roll, spin and bang bang. He is such smart pup. At 12 weeks he knows all those commands without hand gestures and I have begun obedience training with him. He is great at heeling, staying until i tell him it's ok to eat, staying when theres a big piece of bone in front of him, etc. He and my 4 lb pomeranian are best friends and play with each other every day, although he's a bit rough with her.
My only problem now is that he bites so much when he's energetic. I know this is a common thing with GSDs, but dang I wish he would hurry up and grow out of it.
Anyways, I am now a proud owner of a very smart 12 week old GSD puppy named Nico. Here is a pic of him looking at the camera, very photogenic

I woke up wondering what I was going to get to eat today. Mom got up and it was a wet food day, yay! I scarfed all of my food down and mom stopped me from eating Desi's food. But thats OK, I had to try! Mom and daddy were arguing about me last night. Daddy says I've put on weight and I now border on obese. Mom says I'm just a little bit chubby and that daddy is over-reacting. I think Mom is right- in fact right now Whiskey, Moo and me all weigh the same! Besides, Daddy isn't one to talk- he sure isn't as skinny as he was when I first moved in here. The only exercise he gets these days is when he carries me around under his arm and I'm only a measly 16 pounds. Mom feeds us all well, what can I say? At least on days when I get wet food. Maybe mom should cut back on Daddy's wet food too, we'll see how he likes that! I think Daddy has just been spending too much time around that new Slurpee cat. Talk about scrawny! He's only 11 pounds so he makes the rest of us all look really big. But I don't worry about him- once he gets into Mom's care he'll fill out a bit and look more like a healthy cat. I wonder what Mom is going to make her and Daddy for dinner. I'd better go practice my cute face in the mirror so I'm ready for begging!
This really isn't fair! Mom came home from the grocery store and grabbed a bowl and a can of wet food. I got really excited, except the wet food wasn't for me! It was for some cat that lives outside named Smudge. Mom's afraid that Smudge is hungry, but what about me? I'M really hungry too! In the middle of the night mom takes wet food out to some kittens that live in the woods. Its not my fault they keep running from mom and aren't smart enough to follow her home! All these other cats are going to deplete the wet food supply. Hrumph. Daddy will be here soon, I will try and be really cute and get him to give me something good.
I woke up wondering about what I was going to get to eat today. There was no wet food for breakfast again! Doesn't mom see that I am wasting away? She's making meatloaf for dinner. I never get any meatloaf because she puts lots of onions into meatloaf and she says those are really bad for me. She puts onions into all of the best foods, I think she does it on purpose so I can't have any!

Worth / Assets Limits for Aid and Attendance and other Pensions
A veteran's net worth, according to the VA, includes assets in bank accounts,
stocks, bonds, mutual funds and property other than the veteran's primary
residence and vehicle. A general guideline is that the veteran's combined
assets, excluding those mentioned, must be valued at less than $80,000.
However, veterans with less than that amount have been denied and veterans who
assets exceed that limit have been accepted; it is not a hard limit. The final
determination also considers a veteran's age, care expenses and life expectancy.

And to whom do I request it? Even thou I have claimed Agent orange several times... that is the only issue that has not been listed as a claim on the appeal nor on the denial. If they denial agent orange because of lack of evidence I could understand that but not to list it as a claim I do not understand. In several letters I have asked where this Other income of $19200 is in the pesion denial but I have never gotten a responce. Before my ratings eveuations I asked to recieve copies but never recieved any..

No news on VA appeal .. VA did not log new forms admited for pention on th 10 of January nor new medical submited in DecI decided to go apply for social security disability in Dec
2012 they sent me a form to answer some questions. One question was does you
care for a pet. Another question ask if
we care for another person.
(1) Why does social
security want to know if we care for pets?
(2) Why does social
security want to know if we care some other person if not under household?
