Orange district's early nurses and doctors
12/07/2010 , 3:26 PM by Angela Owens
Journalist and local historian Lis Edwards is writing the definitive history of nurses, doctors and hospitals in the Orange district to coincide with the opening of the new Orange Base Hospital next year.
Lis joined us on the Morning Show last Friday to share some stories... and she brought in some amazing old photos. Check out the nurses' wonderful whimples... and how they've changed over the years!
Matron Dooly (centre front) with her nurses around 1910 (some of these nurses served overseas in WW1)
Matron Elizabeth Kerr and nurses at the opening of the nurses' home at Orange Base Hospital 1937 (it took nearly 30 years to install heating!)
Graduate nurses at Orange Base Hospital with Board President and secretary 1950s
Nurse graduates at Orange Base Hospital 1972
As part of her book, Lis is trying to track down the first baby to be born at Orange's maternity unit back in the 1940s... Pamela Joan Bowen. Can you help? If so, give Lis a call on 6362 8647.

Wet exterior wall during rain - is it bad?
1 Attachment(s)
I have some locations where the exterior wall of home gets water splashed on it to some extent during rain. The exterior wall is stucco I believe.
Is the wetness of the stucco wall during rain going to penetrate to the inside of the wall and wood framing and be bad over time, or is that not likely in terms of just having water splashed on the outside wall?
If it can be bad, is there a way to assess how bad it would be? I might not be able to fix/avoid water splashing on the wall much.
Here's an example photo of one area, near base of wall.
As simple measure am planning on brushing those exterior walls with waterproofing sealant to help make the water slick off the wall rather than absorb into it.
Does your house have properly sloped, unblocked eavestroughs? Also make sure the downspouts drain well away from the house.
Exteriors are supposed to be built to withstand weather, right? You should be OK if the wall was properly built. That said, do what you can to avoid the water, as mentioned above. Is this an eave side, or the rake/gable end of the house?
Don't apply the water repellent. It would prevent the stucco from drying out.
I agree, don't add anything to it. Probably built to CA code minimum. Here is a similar one: "R703.6.2.1 Weep screeds. A minimum 0.019-inch (0.5 mm) (No. 26 galvanized sheet gage), corrosion-resistant weep screed or plastic weep screed, with a minimum vertical attachment flange of 31/2 inches (89 mm) shall be provided at or below the foundation plate line on exterior stud walls in accordance with ASTM C 926. The weep screed shall be placed a minimum of 4 inches (102 mm) above the earth or 2 inches (51 mm) above paved areas and shall be of a type that will allow trapped water to drain to the exterior of the building. The weather-resistant barrier shall lap the attachment flange. The exterior lath shall cover and terminate on the attachment flange of the weep screed." Bold is mine, from: http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic...=undefinedGary
1 Attachment(s)
What I do notice is that where the water repellent was applied, the water beads on the surface of the wall rather than being soaked into it. That does seem to depend on the texture of the wall, which for the most part melds well with the repellent making it feel and behave like a glossy paint.
So in that sense, how does it prevent stucco from drying out? Or do I assume some portion is still absorbed into wall while the other is not staying outside as water beads? Can someone clarify the bad behavior of water repellent on external wall?
Also, what about some patched areas of wall, patched with concrete and where the paint is chipping off wall, how best to protect those areas? I'm not sure what the original type of paint was used, and don't want to strip the paint off the whole wall and repaint just for where the chips are. It appears the original paint was really a thick base based on the peeled off hard thick paint layer I got where it was chipping. Or it's a layer of paint mixed with something else. I'm new to painting and have never noticed dried paint that's as thick/hard as a Ruffle's potato chip (or say thick flat potato chip).

$895 is what I paid for mine about 6 months ago. The 10mm CBOBs are kind of hard to find. If you found one and you want it, I would place the order.
I have been lusting for a 10mm Dan Wesson Commander Cls Bobtail "Bob." I have been making calls and I have only found one for $900 + tax. I have called CZ but they are not very helpful with my search. Any ideas? My other thought is what should the man with everything look at? Suggestions are welcome. Regards, Richard
$895 is what I paid for mine about 6 months ago. The 10mm CBOBs are kind of hard to find. If you found one and you want it, I would place the order.
I have came to the conclusion that all DW 1911s are hard to find; they are just about custom made. Regards, Richard
nice gun
You can find Bob Serva @ www.fusionfirearms.com, if that's who you are looking for, the person whom ran "DAN WESSON FIREARMS" before the "CZ" buyout. Bob has started his own company and will sometime in the future be making custom 1911's. Check out his website.
No, I think he's looking for another "BOB" - a guy on our website. He retured recently, and used the work computer for access to the site. So, he doesn't come around as often...
I ended up with this Commander sized Dan Wesson 10mm, it is the nicest 1911 I have owned. How much fun is it and how accurate is it? I haven't touched my Glock 21, with the 10mm conversion barrel, since I received the Dan Wesson. Regards, Richard
I picked up a Bobtail last weekend in .45, I think I'm gonna have to get its 10mm twin. From what I've read at 1911forum, DW is increasing production of 10mm bobtails, so hopefully they won't be as scarce.

Well my owner likes, let me correct myself, loves to write stories about me and all the other cats in the house. All the others were about me, but not this one. I'll try to get all three stories here in my diary for you to read, but my owner only lets me on the computer for 2 hours a day, she doesn't want me to play with the mouse. I've already tried to eat it. Well hey can you blame me, its a cats instinct for when they hear the word mouse, they attack it and eat it. Am I right?! Of course I am. Well anyway the new kitten's name is Darlene and she's not even 1 year old yet.
Well my 2 hours is up. Do you know how hard it is to type with paws. Of course not. Well bye!
Oh no I just figured out something horrible about mommy shes going away for three days with her friend to a hotel I don't know what a hotel is but it can't be good. Noone to play with me *waaaaaaaaa*
Wow what a big thing in the living room. I've been asking my friends what it is but they just say I should know, and that it was there last year around the same time. It looks fun to climb, its tall, it has branches and I'm a good jumper. It should be no problem! Then my mom said to another cat,"Girl no climbing the Christmas Tree!". So that's what it is I remembered. Maybe I shouldn't climb it. Instead I chewed on the lights and branches!

one of my favorite comfort foods is potato salad. but i couldn't get it quite "right" in the past, so i did a little epicurious research & found a recipe from the famous new orleans restaurant, dooky chase potato salad , & i knew i couldn't lose. every time i use a recipe from that city, it turns out awesome.
the secret weapon? chopped baby dill pickles! hardly any salt is needed because of this. the recipe does not include onions so i added chopped scallions. because i got some baby butter potatoes from the logan square farmers market, it turned out fantastic! it's perfect by itself or paired with your favorite burger. i did some chimichuri sauce, folded it into the burger meat & presto!
a most excellent pot salad recipe from a landmark restaurant! now i have to go to amazon & buy this cookbook!

"my daughter and I both loved these! I had them overnighted cause I was last minute and they came a day early! Her classmates thought she had the best one! LovE LOVE! Can't wait to do these again next V-day"
"This is our second year ordering class valentines from Tiny Prints and we really like them They are adorably tiny, personalized and they really have designs for everyone. I just like for my daughter to have something other than the grocery store choice that everyone else has."
"These cards are soooo cute! I initially was looking for a card for my son to personalize to give out at his preschool. But I just couldn't pass these up for myself! As a mom of a boy...everything is cars, blue, more trucks, army fatigue...nothing pink! So as a teacher, I just had to make these for my kindergarten students! They came out soooo cute. I'm attaching an organic yummy lollipop to these and giving them out to my lil ones! I regret not making these years ago!"
"We ordered for my daughter's 1st grade classroom valentine exchange. These were cute and fun and the kids loved them. They are smaller than I expected, but a great size. I will have 2 in school next year and plan to order these again."
"This is a cute card that isn't overly cute. The train is perfect for that 2-4yo train-obsessed preschooler in your home. My 3yo son took these to daycare and they were a hit, both with his picture to personalize it and the train design kids respond to--without it being yet another commercial character."

Manuel Almunia is "knocking on the door" of the first-team, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Spaniard is set to continue his role as Arsenal's 'cup keeper' this evening as Emirates Stadium plays host to Tottenham in the Carling Cup Semi-Final second leg.
Jens Lehmann is still firmly Wenger's No 1 keeper and has been in the best form of his illustrious career over the past 18 months. There appears to be plenty left in the tank but, on the other hand, time waits for no-one in football. The German is now 37 and, in keeping with Wenger's well-established policy for his older players, is only given yearly contracts. Quite understandably the Arsenal manager is looking at his options and he agreed that Almunia was "in the frame" to take over as and when Lehmann moves on.
"He is knocking at the door and stronger than ever," Wenger told Arsenal.com. "I always felt the potential was in him but he has become calmer recently.
"Remember he came from a small club and to play at Arsenal is to be under tremendous pressure from one day to the next. You are under scrutiny for every move that you make. It takes time to adapt to that.
"But now, at 29, he is getting to an age where you become a goalkeeper for the big clubs. He is challenging Jens. But Jens is doing extremely well himself. He is having a great season too.
"That is why I play Almunia in both cup competitions and Jens in the Premiership and Champions League."
So is the former Celta Vigo custodian "in the frame" to take the No 1 position at Emirates?
"For me, yes," Wenger replied when the question was put to him. "That is what I am considering to do.
"If I had to make that decision today then I would say it is Almunia. But it is still open. Of course I know there is a difference between coming in and out or taking the pressure of being the regular goalkeeper for every game.
"But I am very happy with his progress. I must say this season, and last year every time he played in the Champions League, he has been absolutely outstanding."

How to Build Using Wattle and Daub: "Wattle construction methods have a long history dating back at least for the past 6,000 years, and in many parts of the world is still used. This method of construction has made a comeback in recent times by those who are searching for a sustainable material for construction. This type of construction is called wattle and daub.
This method of construction started with a series of upright posts driven into the ground with interweaving twigs between them...
... Once the weaving was complete they were daubed with a mixture consisting of clay, earth, dung and some sort of vegetable fiber as reinforcement. This mixture was applied over the woven twig framework on both sides. It was usually pretty weather proof..."
How to Build a Wattle & Daub House | eHow.com: "Building a wattle and daub house recreates a historical method of building. Wattle and daub are a method of incorporating a basket-like wall (wattle) with an earthen layer (daub) that is plastered into and around the wattle. This method was combined with other methods to form a house. Though the wattle and daub did sometimes form the structure of small houses for the exceptionally poor, the method that was preferred for hundreds of years was to use this method to build walls around a timber-framed home (giving rise to 'Tudor' style architecture)..."
Build a wattle and daub house.: "Wattle and daub (also referred to as 'ruddle and dab' and 'wattle and dab') is sort of like papier mache for living in. It's something strong and serviceable built of something unlikely.
In Europe, the framework of wattle and daub begins with a timber-framed house. The large spaces between timbers is grooved - splines are inserted vertically in the grooves, parallel to each other. Then thin reeds or splits are woven back and forth between the splines. This provides a framework for mud (daub) which is pressed in from both sides against the woven wood. It all dries together into a solid mass and then is generally whitewashed with a lime solution..."

The Bersa is a fine gun. I have one in 9mm and after a short break in and a little polishing it runs silky smooth.
A little over 500 rds and not one hiccup of any kind. Buddy has the 45 and says the same.
I'll do +2000 for the rock island compact, over 1000 rounds trouble free through mine I have 1911's 3x the price and carry a rock daily.
Did anyone say RIA yet??? LOL you can't beat the Rock Island for the under $400 .45ACP It is a purchase that you will never regret.
Right now the pistols that interest me the most are the RIA .45 and the Bersa Thunder .45 Ultra Compact Pro. But does anyone have any info on extended magazines for these two guns? And is it easy to find new grips for the RIA if I ever wanted to switch them?
Taurus Millennium Pro PT745 or their 24/7 blued. Both are around $365. The Mil Pro is more of a CCW, the 24/7 is larger and more of a duty carry.
http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/i...1/11/11874.jpg http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/i...1/19/19896.jpg
http://www.midwesthuntersoutlet.com/...%2BJDyOLrQE%3D 15 rounds.
The Bersa Thunder .45 Ultra Compact Pro comes with a 7rd magazine. This seems like a very practical gun, especially for CCW. But I couldn't find any extended magazines. I realize they will hang out the bottom of the gun which doesn't really bother me as long as it isn't like 4in haha.
Be careful with the extended mags,I haven't heard anything really positive about 10 round mags,I have heard about numerous feeding issues that you do not want in a weapon you are trusting your life with,In My Commander I carry wilson 47D 8 rounders,and in my RIA compact I carry 7 rounders,If I need more I'll carry more mags,or a different weapon
If you like the 1911 style, that Rock Island sounds good. A $30 Dyer Group gripper/full-length guide rod probably would make it a lot more accurate and tighten up the groups & I'd add a Wilson spring & shock buff kit. I personally would probably look at a Ruger P90 also. It was stated that the gun will shoot 1" groups right out of the box. Magazines are still available at reasonable prices. Maybe a used P345 would be nice for "more" concealed carry though.
cheap and reliable is what the Ruger P-series pistols are known for. The P345 has been mentioned by a couple people already. I own one and it works great, just take out the dang magazine disconnect crap and you're good to go. Dad has the P-90 or p97 can never remember which also cheap and reliable. You could probably fine either one of those on sale new for under $400 fairly easily I think.
Used for under $400 might be able to find a glock, xd, m&p? Not really good with prices anymore but since they run $500-$600 new I believe should be able to pick one up around $400.
Try looking at Taurus 845, 12 cap, fullsize. I actually am thinking of getting one, and you can find them at Cheaperthandirt for around 350.
I'd go RIA 1911 but that's just me.
This is where I have found the best price at
I've never used Sarco nor am I affiliated with them? Maybe someone else here has that can chime in? If not go through Bellshire on GB. Nothing but positive things to say about them.
Good luck and let us know what you end up with.:smile:
RIA is very nice .45 the money is just a bonus for extra ammo, holster. The one in the pics is a very reliable gun. I know a guy who bought the same gun and now carries it daily.

McClatchy cites Dobbs, Limbaugh, Hannity as providing "a stage on talk radio and cable TV" to birthers
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From an August 2 article by McClatchy Newspapers' Steven Thomma:
The allegation that President Barack Obama was born in another country is more than just another political smear.
It's the story of how a small but intense movement called "birthers" rose from a handful of people prone to seeing conspiracies aided by the Internet - and magnified without evidence by eager radio and cable TV hosts, and eventually ratified by a small group of Republican politicians working to keep the story alive.
It's a story about what experts call political paranoia over a new face in a time of anxiety and rapid change. It's the sort of viral message that can take hold among a sliver of the populace that's ready to believe that their new president is a fraud, and ready to angrily dismiss anyone who disagrees with them as part of the conspiracy.
Once the story spread on the Internet, several of the birthers have found a stage on talk radio and cable TV. Lou Dobbs of CNN, for example, has said he thinks the allegations are false, yet he continues airing them.
Radio host Rush Limbaugh has joked about it, saying, "Barack Obama has one thing in common with God. You know what it is? God doesn't have a birth certificate either."
Sean Hannity has featured Andy Martin on his Fox News program, and radio host Liddy has repeatedly featured stories charging that the president was born in Kenya.

Hey guys!
I'm ready to dye my girth belt and stick my straps on it to make it functional, any ideas? To be honest I'd rather dye it but I'm up to anything!
I have the Mohair Centaur Non-slip Girth Belt you can get from Amazon, it's a 34" one too if that helps?

Mifsud confirmed that MFA used to retain part of funds – report
Official figures were inflated to tally with UEFA's amount
Former Malta FA president Joe Mifsud has admitted that the MFA used to retain a portion of the UEFA solidarity payments for clubs, a review carried out by the association's board of internal auditors has found.
The findings of the ' inquiry were revealed during a meeting of the MFA council yesterday.
The case was thrust back into the limelight last September when Norman Darmanin Demajo, the MFA president, announced that a report by the association's financial department had shown that, for around five years the MFA, then under the helm of Dr Mifsud, had withheld around €70,000 from the annual solidarity payments.
Silvio Galea, the chairman of the three-man board of internal auditors, read out the report which found that between seasons 2002-03 and 2006-07, the MFA withheld around €68,000 from money derived from the UEFA solidarity payments which ought to have been distributed in full among the clubs.
In that five-year period, the payments were distributed as follows: in 2002-03, MFA handed out €167,714 and retained €16,088; 2003-04 €165,386 paid, €8,798 retained; 2004-05 €165,385 paid, €15,263 retained; 2005-06 €165,386 paid, €14,498 retained; 2007-08 €170,044 paid, €12,122 retained; 2007-08 €173,496 paid (almost the full amount).
The report states that, during his interview with the members of the board, "Dr Mifsud confirmed that parts of the funds were not distributed to clubs and were retained by the MFA".
Apart from the grants awarded to the Youth FA and Gozo FA, which had the approval of the council, the MFA invested the remaining money in its youth sector, Dr Mifsud told the board.
The board traced all but one of the documents the Malta FA sent to UEFA which contained a breakdown of how the solidarity payments were distributed. According to the board, the figures on these letters "were inflated to tally with the amount allocated by UEFA".
It emerged yesterday that, while the council members had given the MFA the green light to allocate part of the solidarity payments to the GFA and Youth FA, they were oblivious to the fact that a portion was being retained by the association.
During his meeting with the board, Dr Mifsud also said that he had informally advised some UEFA officials about how the MFA was distributing the solidarity payments.
According to the report, Dr Mifsud declared that MFA vice-president Ludovico Micallef and Joe Gauci, the association's general secretary, used to assist him in the compilation of the workings but both have denied such claims.
Gauci said that he only used to sign the enclosing letter that was sent to UEFA but not the document containing the details of how the payments had been distributed.
For his part, Micallef insisted that he was only responsible for dividing the sum of money as communicated to him by Dr Mifsud but was unaware that that amount may have been tweaked.
Micallef has also taken the step of making a sworn statement about the matter. "I knew that a document showing how the money received was distributed had to be sent to UEFA every year," Micallef states in his statement. "I never saw this document and I was never involved in the drawing up of the inflated lists which were sent to UEFA.
"I never knew that Dr Mifsud was withholding money from the amount received, and it was only recently, when this fact was announced by the present president – Mr Norman Darmanin Demajo, that I became aware of it."
The board also questioned Alex Manfrè, another MFA vice-president who was the association's honorary treasurer at the time. Manfrè said that he was not aware of the feedback given to UEFA by the MFA.
The report concludes that, for four years, the Malta FA had breached the UEFA solidarity payments scheme's rules in that the amount was not transferred to the clubs in full.
Reacting to the audit report, Darmanin Demajo said that this was a serious abuse of power that had been going on for years.
The MFA president also alleged irregularities in the way the MFA administered the UEFA mini-pitches scheme a few years back.
"The UEFA mini-pitches... I was convinced that there was something wrong when I heard that the MFA was charging clubs for the installation," he said.
"All the costs were covered by UEFA and yet clubs and even id-Dar tal-Providenza were charged for the installation of these pitches."
Asked to give his reaction about the audit report, Dr Mifsud told The Times: "Did they say that part of these funds are still being given to the GFA and Youth FA? What was done then is still being done today and this is not according to the UEFA guidelines."
On the money retained by the Malta FA, Dr Mifsud said that a fraction of the solidarity payments was allocated to the association's "school of football".
On Darmanin Demajo's allegations about the UEFA mini-pitches, Dr Mifsud was adamant that the UEFA grants didn't cover the installation of the artificial pitches.
Darmanin Demajo said that the MFA officials who served on the council in 2008, when he sent a letter to the MFA about alleged misappropriation of funds received from UEFA, must shoulder part of the blame because they stayed silent.
"When you are weak and afraid to talk, you are giving anyone who occupies this seat the liberty to do what he wants with the excuse that it's being done for the benefit of this or that," he said.
The Malta FA president also touched on the circumstances that led to his resignation as MFA honorary treasurer when he had flagged certain irregularities in the way contracts were being signed by the MFA.
"At the time, the council members voted in favour of an extraordinary general meeting which gave a vote of confidence to Dr Mifsud... you gave him a passport to do what he likes," he said.
"I hope that we have learnt our lessons. We want to send a strong message that you can't abuse your position and you leave as if nothing has happened. I'm prepared to forgive and move on but lessons must be learnt."
The MFA council agreed to issue a declaration condemning any kind of abuse that may have taken place in the past.
A proposal by Birkirkara official Adrian Delia for the MFA to investigate whether those who have signed the documents that were sent to UEFA knew what was going on or whether they were misled was also endorsed by the council members.

Installed stack stone tile
1 Attachment(s)
Hi all,
Looking for advice. I know this may not be the right forum, but I am looking for advice about tiling and this is where most of the experts seem to hang.
I am looking to install stacked stone tile on my fireplace (vented gas/wood-burning), basically from the floor all the way to the ceiling, to create an accent wall (see http://www.norstoneusa.com/products/stacked-stone-cladding although i won't necessarily use this brand)
Could you provide some advice on what the proper prep process is for this? I am concerned that these tiles are heavier than the average tile. If it were a light tile, I could do it directly against the drywall, so what is the process for this heavier tile? Am I okay with just thinset (installation instructions seem to say so). The current wall is already finished, painted (latex) and textured, shuold I prep it in some way (sanding? dulling with water and TSP?)
The specs show about 12 lbs per sq foot for this tile. The walls are in good condition (~ 2005 construction).
Any other tips would be appreciated!

A great piece that suggests we take all of our physical signs of affection seriously.

text: Hi all, I'm not a WRX owner, but soon to be one hopefully. I currently drive a 2002 Maxima which is bone stock to get me by until February 2013 when my driving privileges get fully restored. In the last couple years, Subaru's have really grown on me, I've seen more and more around and I just love everything about them. I would love to one day be an owner of a WRX but I do have a heavy foot often times . I was wondering how much abuse can these cars really take? How are the trannys in the 02-06 cars? (The year range I plan on purchasing) How is engine reliability for most of you? (Assuming you have kept up with regular maintenance). What are some bigger jobs that need to be done along the way as the miles go up? (I plan on buying used so bigger scheduled maintenance jobs will obviously be required). I'm sure I have a lot to learn, but please, enlighten me ClubWRX.

"Look at me!" - the phrase we hear everyday throughout the day along with the infamous question, "what you doing?". I've always loved the toddler phase when youngins begin to construct full sentences and show off their "true" personalities. Now that we're in it with our own child, I love it even more - it is my favourite stage thus far. Yesterday I sat Saiger on the kitchen table to velcro her shoes and she says to me, "careful, don't fall, hurt yourself". I'm always saying that in some form or other and now - apparently - so does she.
We're astonished at how quickly Saige took to her new bed. She's even moved into a big kid bed at Dean's house (daycare) and to date we've had zero issues.
We're astonished at how quickly Saige took to her new bed. She's even moved into a big kid bed at Dean's house (daycare) and to date we've had zero issues.
She puts on quite the performance when waking up - big stretches and loud yawns.
So far we've been able to wean our princess off the naptime sous-sous, but bedtime is a different story. Target date to be a Sootherless: January 1st, 2011 (five days shy of her 2nd birthday)
This can't be good for her.
One of her "look at me" moments. I think she wants us to look at her backwards hat, but look at that eyebrow... poor girl.
A regular scene in our house. We call it her 'on the ground, face-down pout' and I can't take credit for the braid, that's Nadine's handywork. I continue to be hair challenged.
Rather than signing up for a full series, this season Kim, Christie and I decided to pick and choose our Performing Arts Centre performances and invite our spouses along as well. On Saturday we signed up for dinner at Intermezzo's and the Vancouver TheatreSports improv show, Scared Scriptless. And instead of relying on family, we arranged to have our first ever babysitter come to the house and watch Saige. I was a tad nervous that Saige would sob uncontrollably and/or refuse to go to bed so imagine my surprise when we come to a sleeping little girl and a smiling sitter. Ronnie you're simply the best!
With only six weekends til Christmas, I vowed to make a batch of cookies every Sunday and freeze them for the holidays. Today it was gingersnaps and since Trev had to work on this 'day of rest' (not happy about it), I broke out an early stocking stuffer and entertained Saige with paints.
More ended up on her than the paper but it kept her amused for a good 1/2 hour.
You have no idea how excited I am for Christmas 2010. Trev begged me not to start decorating until December :( 3 weeks seems an awfully long time to wait.

Sticky post
We mentioned in our previous article how getting more greens, like spinach, into your diet can have an immediate impact on your health, but not everyone is a salad eater. This is one of the many reasons why getting a juicer for your kitchen is beneficial. Instead of spending a lot of time munching away like a cow grazing in a field, you can quickly and conveniently juice your vegetables and get all of the nutritious power they contain into one easy to drink glass. And to get the absolute most out of the fresh veggies that you juice, especially leafy greens, you will want to get yourself a masticating juicer. After spending hours reading hundreds of juicer reviews we have found that there is one juicing machine that really stands out as the top masticating juice extractor in 2016. The Omega NC800 is not only a masticating juicer that is highly rated by owners around the world, it is also something that we have used on a regular basis and recommend ourselves. Wait until you see what this juicer can do.
Juicing your greens is not only a convenient way to increase your daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, but it also has many other potential health benefits as well. This is something to keep in mind and will hopefully push you into making the choice to get a juicer for your home.
Why Choose A Masticating Juicer?
Before we get into why the NC800 is such a great option, it is important to explain why masticating juicers are better for juicing greens. The two main types of juicers on the market today are either going to be centrifugal machines or masticating. These are two completely different methods to extract juice from fruits and vegetables.
This method works by basically pressing the juice out of the pulp. You feed what ever you are juicing into the machine. It then works the food down a tube to a an auger. The auger is shaped like a big screw. Once the food makes its way into the blades of the auger it is crushed and broken into smaller pieces. The end is usually capped with a tiny opening that lets out the pulp. This is where pressure is built up and the juice is pressed out. This is why this is also referred to as a "cold pressed" juicer as well.
Since leafy vegetables can be fibrous with not as much liquid as fruits, the only way to maximize juice yield is to slowly extract the juice with this extreme pressure. This method has other advantages such as less heat and air that gets introduced into the final product. This allows the juice to stay fresh longer without spoiling.
Centrifugal Juicing
This method uses extremely fast spinning cutting blades and centrifugal force to get the job done. When you drop food into the machine the blades cut it up into smaller pieces. These pieces are then spun and centrifugal force presses them up against the sides of a mesh filter. This force is what is used to separate the juice from the pulp. However, both the cutting action and the centrifugal action is not that efficient for juicing leafy greens and you will end up wasting a lot in the processes. If you ever tried to juice this type of veggie you will see that big chunks will end up in the pulp catcher that have not really been juiced. Centrifugal machines end up shredding foods like kale and spinach and the yield will be significantly lower in most cases. This method of juicing also has the very loud drawback of producing a lot of noise.
If you plan to juice a lot of greens, you will save more money and time by getting a masticating extractor. The juice will also be of a better quality and keep longer with better juice yield.
Which Masticating Juicer To Get?
Now that we know which type of juicer to get, it is time to showcase just why the Omega NC800 HDS is such a terrific choice.
- It has a wider feed chute than other masticating juicers. You drop in larger pieces without having to cut them up first. This is a huge time saver.
- An adjustable end cap lets you fine tune the juice yield depending on what type of fruit or vegetable you are juicing
- Produces higher juice yield than previous Omega models
- Comes with nozzles that also let you extrude and make pasta as well as natural nut butters and baby food. You get a lot of versatility and value for the money
- It comes with an industry leading 15 year warranty so you know that your juicing investment is protected.
- Easy to clean with dishwasher safe parts for added convenience. It takes a lot of the hassle that can detract from the juicing experience.
- This is also a relatively quiet juicer since it moves at a methodical pace to maximize juice yield.
This is just some of the reasons that make this particular juicer stand out from the crowd. When we were looking for a new masticating machine we first were looking at some of the cheaper older Omega models. We then came across an Omega NC800 HDS juicer review when it first came out and decided to give it a try. We have used it just about every day since and we could not be happier. We have been really impressed with how well this has juiced foods like spinach, kale, cabbage and carrots. The juice it produces is super fresh and the pulp is extremely dry which lets us know that we are getting the most out of what we juice and nothing is going to waste.
Other owner reviews for the NC800 are also quite remarkable as this juicer has quickly become one of the top rated juicers since its release. Green juice is something that can have a major impact on the way that you look and feel. If you are looking to turn around your diet and are interested in getting into green juicing, then this is the one model that you should be using in 2016.
As a mother, the safety and well being of my child is something that often causes me many sleepless nights. It has been that way from the beginning and I am sure it is something that all parents experience. I was so scared to think about riding in the car everyday and trying to find the right safety seat just about gave me an ulcer. Looking back however, I really did not need to stress out that much. While the experience of buying a new convertible seat was a little time consuming just because of all of the options available, in the end I was extremely happy with the seat that I got. Knowing that you bought something that is safe and something that your child enjoys riding in really is a big relief. So to help pass it forward, I will try and help you narrow down the field to find some of the better convertible car seats that will help you exhale and ride easier.
Which Brands Should I Consider?
I won't get into individual seats, but I will help steer you towards the more reputable brands and what type of budgets that they will fall into. Budget is often a big factor when buying a child seat, but just because you save a little does not mean that you have to give up something for safety. There are many extremely safe car seats that are quite affordable. The latest convertible car seat reviews 2016 illustrate the best rated options that cover just about any type of budget. Once you find a brand that you are comfortable with then you can find the best convertible car seat for your child. Often car seat makers will have a line of different seats with various features and price points. As long as you go with a trusted name you really can't go wrong as far as safety goes. It will then come down to usability, style and price.
Graco Child Seats
Graco makes a terrific line of car seats for those that have a some money to spend, but where price still matters. Their mid-range seats are widely popular with parents for their durability and safety. They have a wide assortment of colors and their Size 4 Me seat is probably their best selling model. Graco seats pass all required tests to be able to on the road in the US and they have a great record when it comes to making quality products. We have used one of their convertible car seats i the past and we thoroughly enjoyed how easy it was to use. Our child also seemed to really love riding in it and often fell asleep shortly getting strapped in, which is often a good sign.
Britax Convertible Options
This is another well known company that makes some of the best rated convertible car seats that you can buy. Britax's line of products has always been widely popular with parents and kids alike. They make some excellent child seats but they are not exactly cheap. If you have a decent budget then they would be a great option as their seats can range from $180 to $300. They have had a few hiccups lately and have had to recall some convertible and infant seats, but they owned up and were quick with a fix. They do have a great safety record despite their recent issues and I would still feel confident with my child riding in one of their products. They are quite comfortable and have a host of safety innovations that help set them apart.
Peg Perego Seats
This is for parents that have a healthy budget as their seats typically will run north of $300, but if you can afford it then it will probably be a great investment. Their seats are engineered with race car technology that gives them some very innovative features. Excellent side impact protection, super comfortable and plush materials, and solid construction really makes their seats stand out from the competition. We splurged and went for their Primo Viaggio model seat and we were so impressed. This really put our mind at ease and still does to this day every time we put our child into it. This is probably the best purchase that we made for our child to date.
Other Brands
The above names are just a starting point and there are actually plenty of car seat manufacturers with solid reputations. Evenflo, Diona, and Safety 1st also make high quality options for parent that have received excellent ratings. It may be hard to narrow the field but sticking with trusted companies is the best course of action. Their seats have been rigorously tested to be certified safe and meet all of the requirements to be legal in the US.
If you are just starting your quest to buy a new seat for your upcoming family, a little research goes a long way. There are also some useful tips for parents to keep in mind when shopping. Finding the best convertible car seat for your family may take a little of your time and cause you an undo amount of stress, but you should be able to find something that will put your mind at ease.
Toaster ovens are a great way to go green in the kitchen. Not only are they more energy efficient than bigger standard ovens, but they also have the added benefit of saving you time and money. These smaller countertop ovens take less time to preheat, and if you get one with a convection feature for cooking, then you will also be able to use lower temperatures to deliver awesome tasting meals. You can finally stop wasting energy and use your full sized oven to store pots and pans, which is a nice added bonus. If you do not own one of these yet, then they are worth looking into.
Of course they can do toast, but they are also capable of so much more. These are fully functional cooking appliances that can handle just about any type of recipe that you can throw at them. Roasting, baking, broiling, reheating, defrosting, and browning are just some of the functions that are built into these countertop machines. You can find reviews of the top 10 toaster ovens at Gouverneurtimes.com to see which oven would be best for your cooking needs as well as your budget.
Toaster Oven Recipes
But what exactly can you do with a toaster oven? For starters, you can prepare favourite foods like pizza, apple pies, roasted asparagus, lasagna, chicken tenders and bacon. Below are just a few simple recipes you can prepare with a toaster oven in your own home. Not only are they convenient, but they are huge time savers as well. Eating healthy does not have to be hard work.
Salsa Tuna Melt
The salsa tuna melt contains protein, carbohydrates and fats which are beneficial to the growth and development of the body.
- A can of white tuna in water
- 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro or thinly sliced green onion
- 2 tablespoons of salsa
- 1 tablespoon of light mayonnaise
- 1 English muffin, split and lightly toasted
- 2 slices of reduced fat cheese
Start by combining the tuna, cilantro, salsa and mayonnaise in a clean bowl of medium size. Proceed by splitting the English muffin in two halves and then place them on a small baking sheet.
Top the English muffin with the tuna mixture and cheese. Start the toaster oven and pre heat it to 350 degrees. Place the mixture of English muffin, tuna and cilantro in the toaster oven and bake it until the cheese melts. This should take between two to three minutes.
The preparation time for the meal is 10 minutes while the overall cooking time is 3 minutes. The meal is for one serving only and contains 430 calories.
Mini Apple Pie
Mini apple pies are healthier and contribute nutrients and minerals beneficial to the body.
- One pack of Tortilla
- Half an apple
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
Start by slicing the apple and place the slices on a tortilla. Proceed by drizzling the apples with honey and finally sprinkle the cinnamon on the mixture. You need to fold the corners of the tortilla so as to create a small apple pie pouch. The best way to ensure that the pouch stays intact is to fasten the corners with clean toothpicks.
Switch the toaster oven on, place the mini apple pie in the oven tray and proceed to bake it until the apples are soft. This could take a period of around 5 minutes especially if you use the toast feature found on your oven. Take the mini apple pie from the oven and serve.
The mini apple will contain 150 calories depending with the kind of tortilla you have used and 1.5 grams of fat.
Roasted Asparagus
Asparagus is extremely nutritious and contains Vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, zinc, protein, beta-carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and dietary fiber.
- One bunch of asparagus
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Start by pre heating your toaster oven to 425 degrees. Proceed by washing your asparagus thoroughly, stack them together and finally cut off the tough bottom part. You need to spread the asparagus in a single layer on top of a rimmed baking sheet, pat it as dry as you can as you don't want the water to steam during the roasting of the asparagus in the toaster oven
Drizzle olive oil all over the asparagus, then sprinkle the freshly ground pepper and the salt too. Place the asparagus in the toaster oven and proceed to roast it for 5 minutes. You need to be careful as the oven will be hot therefore cooking the outer part of the asparagus quickly without the inside getting done. Serve once well done.
Endless Possibilities In The Kitchen
Just about any recipe that can be prepared in a full sized conventional oven can also be done in a countertop toaster oven. Obviously, a super huge turkey is probably going to be the exception, but you might be surprised with just how much cooking for your family can be accomplished in one of these. So make room on your counter and go out and get one of these ovens for your kitchen, your family and the planet will thank you.
Running and jogging are some of the best types of physical activity and are great for your health. Running is a great cardiovascular workout, which also strengthens your muscles. Not only does regular jogging improve cardiovascular fitness, it has also been shown to provide other health benefits, such as helping to manage anxiety and depression. Above all, it is a perfect way to shed weight and get fitter. A new way in which some parents have chosen to keep their exercise routine while also involving their children is through the use of a jogging stroller. These pieces of equipment are not only good for those who are pushing them, but they are also great for those that are riding in them.
Teaching your kids to enjoy the outdoors, exercise, and setting a positive example are just some of the numerous benefits that one of these strollers can provide. While they can be somewhat of an investment, the top running strollers are well worth the higher price. They are safe, versatile, durable, and they can offer you years of exceptional use. Whether you are looking for the best jogging stroller for runners, or you want something for a slower jogging pace, there are plenty of high performing models that can give you as a runner what you need while also providing your child with a safe and comfortable ride.
Some of The Benefits of Running
There are numerous ways in which moving faster can really improve your health. Getting off the chair and getting outside to exercise is a great way to turn around years of poor exercise habits. While a lot of people may find that running is boring and a chore, there are some ways to mitigate this and get more enjoyment out of it. If you can learn to love, jogging can really do wonders on the way that you look and feel. Below are just some aspects of running that can have a positive impact.
Stay Slimmer
Losing weight is one of the main reasons why people choose to run. It's one of the most intense exercises out there, and is a great way to burn calories and lose pounds. You lose around a hundred calories per mile while running. Since running also adds muscle mass, it increases your resting metabolism, which means that you will also burn more calories while resting.
Proper Form Can Help Joints
It's long been shown that running boosts bone mass, as well as helps prevent age-related bone loss. Many people wrongly believe that running is harmful for the knees. Well, it's not. In fact, scientific studies show that running is good for knee health. Running doesn't produce bulky muscles, but it increases leg strength. Moreover, the constant impact of running may increase bone density, as long as you eat a healthy diet.
Become Happier
Studies have shown that healthy individuals who run on a regularly basis are generally more cheerful than those who don't. This is because running makes you feel more energetic as well as creative.
Lessen The Affects of Aging
Worried about your mental sharpness as you grow older? Well, running regularly can help keep you sharper. Regular exercise helps combat age-related mental decline, especially functions such as working memory, switching, and selective attention.
Disease Prevention
Although running doesn't cure cancer, it's been shown to help prevent cancer. Many studies have shown that regular running is linked to a reduced risk of some cancers. What's more, people who already have cancer can run and improve their quality of life while they're undergoing chemotherapy.
Benefits of Jogging
Fast paced running is not for everyone, but going at a slower speed still provides you with some exception benefits that can help you feel better as well as improve your overall health.
Weight Management
One of the biggest benefits of jogging is that it helps with weight loss and weight management. You burn about 150 calories per mile every time you go jogging. Doing this regularly will help you lose more calories in the long run. What's more, you'll still be burning extra calories two days after your last jog.
Heart Health
Jogging can decrease your risk of developing several diseases, including heart disease and hypertension. When you run, your cardiovascular system gets a good workout which helps prevent heart disease. Jogging also helps helps prevent high blood pressure (hypertension). It lowers the "bad cholesterol" or LDL in your blood while you work out.
Improve Immune System
Jogging also goes a long way in strengthening your immune system. There's sufficient evidence that aerobic exercise promotes the simulation of bacteria-fighting cells or macrophages as well as lymphocytes that battle infections through the immune system. When these cells circulate systematically, they help increase your overall immunity to ward off infectious diseases, including viral diseases like flu and common cold, as well as some bacterial infections.
Stress Fighter
Jogging is very beneficial for fighting stress. It puts your mind at ease and promotes an upbeat attitude. Jogging on a treadmill will help with an immediate release of tension by promoting the release of chemicals in the brain that calm your emotions. Jogging gives you a peaceful state of mind that allows you to shut the world out and be alone in your thoughts. This is an extremely soothing feeling, blocking out stress while you're immersed in the pleasure of jogging. It also affords you the solitude to deal with your daily issues with less distraction.
Mental Fitness
Jogging also benefits your mental health. Being mentally fit improves your confidence and self-esteem. It also helps improve your overall demeanor as the exercise releases the feel-good hormones known as endorphins. These hormones improve your mood, and this is what's commonly known as the "runner's high".
Both jogging and running are great forms of aerobic activity. If you're a beginner, you should begin with brisk walking, then progress to jogging and go on to running. It is best to start slow as well as consult your doctor before you begin any running program. By using a jogging stroller you are not only getting yourself healthy, but you are also giving your children a fun outdoor activity that will get them out of the house and away from the television. A child that has active parents is more likely to be active when they get older, so by taking them along with you while you run you are not only helping yourself, you are also helping improve your child's health as well. It also saves you from having to find a babysitter. Running strollers can have a profound impact on your family's well being and are well worth considering.

LA CROSSE, Wis. — When 43-year-old Steve Kennedy says he just had the most fun day of fishing in his life, that's quite a statement.
This is someone who has won more than $1 million on the B.A.S.S. circuit. The Auburn, Ala., angler will long remember his Friday in the Bassmaster Elite Series Mississippi River Rumble. Bass were jumping in his boat.
"I literally had them jumping in the boat today," Kennedy said. "A 2 1/2-pound smallmouth landed on the front deck."
Shooing that bass back into the water was the easy part. Kennedy has caught so many bass over the last two days that he is in pain. He experienced cramps in both arms and a pectoral muscle Thursday; Friday the skin was rubbed raw on his left hand from popping a Spro frog across the water surface, followed by a bass exploding on the lure.
"It's unbelievable how many fish I'm catching," Kennedy said. "I had 100 bites or more today on top."
Plenty of people have paid plenty of money to fly the world in search of a triple-digit-day of topwater largemouth bass bites.
Kennedy was smiling through his pain Friday. He is in 10th place in the Mississippi River Rumble with 28 pounds, 15 ounces. But there were several other anglers who experienced a different kind of pain, the kind you get when bass pay little attention to you.
Kyle Fox of Lakeland, Fla., had the most acute case, after plummeting from first place on Day One to 83rd on Friday. It was the most glaring example of how quickly fortunes can change on a river system, especially one like this area of the Mississippi, where current flows and water color are changing on a daily basis.
Todd Faircloth of Jasper, Texas, jumped from eighth place Thursday into the lead on Day Two with a five-bass daily limit that weighed 17-14, giving him a total of 32-14. But he didn't sound like someone who had definitely deciphered a winning pattern.
"I could very easily go out there and catch 12 pounds (Saturday)," Faircloth said. "I don't know what's going to transpire. I don't know."
Faircloth was hardly alone in that thought on a day when six anglers in the Top 20 Thursday fell so far Friday they didn't make the cut to Saturday's Top 49. In addition to Fox, Billy McCaghren of Mayflower, Ark., dropped from fourth to 71st. Casey Scanlon of Lenexa, Kan., fell from 13th to 69th; Brent Broderick of Oregonia, Ohio, slipped from 17th to 56th; and Brandon Palaniuk sank from 20th to 59th.
In a tournament where volatility on the leaderboard is the norm, there were an equal number of climbers: Boyd Duckett of Demopolis, Ala., from 84th to 33rd; Chris Lane of Guntersville, Ala, from 63rd to 14th; Michael Simonton of Fremont, Ohio, from 78th to 36th; and Mike McClelland of Bella Vista, Ark., from 55th to 15th.
But no one rocketed like Jamie Horton of Centerville, Ala., who had the heaviest bag of the tournament so far — 18-4 — which took him from from 39th place all the way into third, only 1-4 behind Faircloth. Terry Butcher, the model of consistency here, is in second place with days of 15-5 and 16-13 for his total of 32-2.
"In rivers, it changes every day," said Bill Lowen of Brookville, Ind., who is 17th with 27-15. "The water may be dropping, and it may be rising."
The water level depends on which pool of the Mississippi River anglers are fishing. Kennedy has found a section of rising water that has created tons of fun with a topwater frog.
"These fish are trying to get out of that current," he said. "They're moving back into some shallow grass flats. There's just acres and acres of this stuff. And it's just full of 2-, 2 1/4- and 2 1/2-pounders.
"There's just acres and acres of fish to the point where it hurts."
Kennedy got cramps in both arms Thursday after reeling in so many bass, each of which was seemingly accompanied by a big wad of aquatic vegetation. Then he got a cramp in a pectoral muscle "that I just couldn't get worked out," Kennedy said. "I was really in pain."
Friday it was the skin that wore thin between the thumb and forefinger on one hand "from pop, pop, popping that frog," Kennedy said.
But no amount of bass-induced pain could wipe the smile from his face.
"It was the most fun day of fishing I've ever had," he said.
The question in this tournament is: Who will still be smiling Saturday afternoon, when the field is cut to the Top 12 for Sunday's final?

Here's the deal! I have a friend that has a Browning Pro-9 that he is willing to sell me. (The civilian version of FNP-9)He got it from one of his college campus police friends for $300.
Sorry its blurry, Phone Pic...
I was thinking of offering him 150-200 for it because it is obviously used. What do ya'll think? is it worth it? I know NOTHING about this gun other than the reviews that I have read on this and other forums. Which, are mostly positive.
Thanks for the input!
I like it......I'd consider it.
I would offer him $150.00 and then settle for $175.00 after negotiations. If so, you would make a very good deal. I don't know much about the Browning Pro-9, but buying a Browning pistol for less than $200.00 is a steal and unheard of. Go for it!

I have an FNP9, which is essentially the same. It is a very good gun, reliable, light weight, and many other desirable attributes. The gun would be worth purchasing even @ the $300 he paid for it. New, that gun goes for $549. I'd be curious though why he wants to sell it. Offering a "friend" only $150 may be a bit insulting.
Too light for heavy work, too heavy for light work!
Cosmo... I find your response completely useless. For all I know your reasons behind saying no may be because you don't like the color of the gun.
Thanks you guys for the input. He is selling it because he doesn't want it in the house. He admitted that he has not shot it so I told him that I am going to take him out to the range. (My objective is to make him keep it!) But in the event that he is insistent I wanted to know what you guys thought...

Yes, it is a more than fair price.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
I think it would be a very good $300 investment, likely to increase in value over the coming years. And, quite frankly, a private purchase with no 4473 and no sales taxes to pay, make it even more attractive to me.

I'd say go for it,. Even if you don't carry it, it would make for a great range gun.

I'd probably buy it for that and be happy or really happy if I got $50 or more knocked off the price!

Dita Von Teese is NOT Dating Russell Crowe
Heading out to give her home a new look, Dita Von Teese shopped for furniture in West Hollywood on Tuesday (January 15).
The burlesque star looked dainty in a pretty navy overcoat, multicolored scarf, and black heels as she dutifully fed the meter.
Recently, rumors swirled that the porcelain-skinned beauty was dating "Les Misérables" star Russell Crowe.
After a report that the two spent time together at the Four Seasons Hotel, the 48-year-actor himself set the record straight. On Twitter he posted, "@DitaVonTeese is brave,smart,sweet and elegant. She is a friend of mine. Who wouldn't want friends like that? Friends, not lovers."

As for a serious and helpful reply
No, they will actually reduce performance. When you let off the gas, and the blow off valve "blows off" into the air to make that noise, that air was already measured by the engine computer, and the computer has already made the proper adjustments to the fuel, timing, etc... to properly use that amount of air. However, you just let that air release into the atmosphere...now what does the engine do? It has all this fuel, and no air to burn it with.
People have had issues from stalling, to O2 sensor fouling, to afterfire and bad MPG when they do this.
Of course, some people have no problems at all. A buddy of mine has a HKS SSQV installed, and it does sound "mean as hell" but to this date I have only seen him stall once from a light, and otherwise his milage and exhaust\engine seems OK.
Its up to you. Is it worth the risk of engine or exhaust damage? From a performance standpoint, maybe there is an advantage to an aftermaket bypass valve or a adjustable blow off valve that lets you vent 100% back into the intake instead of the atmosphere. Some people say they vent quicker, are more efficient...etc... but almost everyone agrees blow off valves that vent to atmosphere are useless, and make your car perform worse
Yeah, I f-cked up. Missed the thread.
Go ahead. Say it.
I'm retarded.
Yeah, I deserved it.
But I got my answer, and I learned my lesson.
So whatever.

Summit Challenge gives riders a chance to give back
Just weeks removed from witnessing the Tour of Utah, the biking community hosted another event. But this one didn't give away yellow jerseys or shiny trophies, instead the participants were the ones giving. The seventh annual Summit Challenge was held this past Saturday for riders of all abilities, an event that was named the 2012 Event of the Year by Cycling Utah.
The proceeds from the event benefit the National Ability Center, a non-profit organization located in Park City, Utah. Their mission aims to uplift individuals of all abilities by helping them build confidence and self-esteem through sport, recreational and educational programs.
"The event was started by a group of volunteers who thought a bike event that included all of our participants would be a fun and challenging opportunity for the community," said event manager Julia Rametta. "The first year there were less than a 100 riders and it has grown year by year. This year we had over 600 riders and 200 volunteers."
Participants had the choice of an 18, 52 or 102 mile course that took them through the mountains and valleys of Summit and Wasatch counties. Participants had the chance to ride some of the course that was featured during the Tour of Utah.
Rametta has seen the event help the participants achieve things that they had never even thought of before. It is a time for some to overcome disabilities, while others can conquer the fear of biking up and down the hilly mountain side.
"We have seen people complete the 18-mile course who never thought they could achieve that," she said. "This bike ride is open to people of all abilities and we work with each individual to make sure they have a bike they can ride and the support they need."
The event raised over $50,000 due to the record number of bikers that participated and donated this year. Also, due to a donation by Ernst and Young, the event's title sponsor, one entire family was able to purchase an adaptive bike and participate together. The Wounded Warrior Project group banded together to ride in the 52 and 18 mile rides which was called the Soldier Ride.
Bikers weren't the only ones who gave to the center. Donations were given from donors who may not have had the time to bike, or just don't enjoy being on the saddle for hours at a time. Those donations not only allowed some participants with disabilities to ride for free, but it also gives others a chance to attend a summer camp with a sibling, or for a veteran to go on a short vacation with their family.

Mark Brest van Kempen
Oakland, California-based visual artist Mark Brest van Kempen's public art projects, exhibitions and performances recreate and reveal our complex relationship with the landscape. In "Living from the Land" the artist himself lived for a month off whatever he could find in the wilderness, documenting the process and meals eaten in a gallery setting. Large indoor and outdoor installations pay tribute to ecosystems past and highlight the passage of time, the depth of human impact on the land and our collective distance from our roots.
Brest van Kempen draws our attention to nature's role as source, setting and savior. In "C. 1700", the artist recreated a basin with marshy dunes, plants and animals (some extinct and endangered) that stood in place of the buildings and sidewalks of present-day San Francisco. "15 Cubic Meters of San Francisquito Creek", brought a meticulously reconstructed portion of a nearby creek to a local zoo so visitors could witness how elements within this ecosystem depend on each other for survival and the complex system of artificial life support (pumps, filters and electronics) needed to keep it flowing. "Cleaning System" completes the cycle with a washing machine . .(Read more)

Fairfield, Conn. – Fairfield University Head Men's Lacrosse coach Andy Copelan has signed a new contract to coach the Stags through the 2015 season. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"Andy has shown great passion for Fairfield University and its ideals," said Director of Athletics Gene Doris, "and a commitment to excellence in the classroom and on the lacrosse field. Since his arrival on campus he has reenergized our men's lacrosse program and has elevated the Stags into the conversation at the national level. I believe that this contract rewards the efforts of Andy, his staff and student-athletes, and shows the support that the University is providing to aid him in the continued ascent of Stags lacrosse."
Since his arrival at Fairfield Copelan has led the Stags to 15 victories, including the first back-to-back winning seasons in over a decade. The Stags have finished in third place in the ECAC Lacrosse League – one of the top three conferences in the nation - in both of those campaigns. Under Copelan's tutelage, Fairfield has played an impressive national schedule – including a victory over 2010 national runner-up Notre Dame, when it was ranked third in the country – and the programs first-ever nationally televised game on ESPNU versus Denver as part of the ESPNU Warrior Classic.
"I am honored to be the men's lacrosse coach at Fairfield," said Copelan, "and am committed to building a program that the University, and our fans, can be proud of. "I wish to thank Father Von Arx, Mark Reed, Gene Doris and Pat Murphy for their commitment to me, my staff, and our program. Their support allows me to lay down roots here within the Fairfield community – at an institution, and in an area, that I love."
