text: Exercise for Life: Cancer Prevention with Exercise and Lifestyle ModificationsScott, Shelby M.D., FACSM, FAAFPACSM'S Health & Fitness Journal: July/August 2008 - Volume 12 - Issue 4 - pp 35-37 doi: 10.1249/FIT.0b013e31817bf83e Columns In Brief Author Information Article Outline Exercise for Life: Cancer Prevention with Exercise and Lifestyle Modifications. Shelby Scott, M.D., FACSM, FAAFP, is part-time faculty at Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, CA, and associate clinical faculty at University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine. She practices Family Practice and Sports Medicine in the Santa Cruz area of California. References Although heart disease is the number one cause of death (COD) in the United States, cancer is more feared by most Americans. This may be with good reason too. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, the incidence of cancer is increasing. In 2006, one in every four deaths in the United States was due to cancer (1). Awareness of heart disease and its causes and prevention have been in the forefront of public health since the 1960s. As a result, the percentage of deaths caused by heart disease has decreased. During the same period, the percentage of total deaths attributed to cancer has increased. If the trend continues, within the next 10 years, cancer may surpass heart disease as the leading COD (Table 1) (1). Table 1 There are many different types of cancer, but all cancers are defined as uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the growth of these abnormal cells remains uncontrolled, the result is death. Cancers result from a combination of external and internal forces. External, or environmental, forces include tobacco, carcinogenic (or cancer-causing) chemicals, radiation, and various types of infection. Internal, or intrinsic, causes of cancer include mutations to the cellular deoxyribonucleic acid strands or the proteins controlling their replication, hormones and hormone receptors, genetic susceptibility factors, and metabolic mutations (1). The National Cancer Institute estimates that the lifetime risk of developing cancer is approximately 50% for men and 34% for women (1). In 2002, combined cancer-related deaths surpassed cerebral vascular accidents as the number two COD (5). There are 1,500 cancer-related deaths every day. Lung cancer is the number three COD; and colon cancer, the number five COD in the United States. The rates of various cancers, like lung and breast cancers, are increasing (3). Breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related death for Hispanic women and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths for White, Black, Asian, and Native American women (3). The National Institutes of Health estimated the cost of cancer in the United States in 2005 at $209.9 billion. Most of this cost is from lost work production ($17.5 billion) and premature death of a productive community ($118.4 billion). Approximately 75% of cancers are diagnosed in people older than 55 years (1). As the age of the working public increases, the amount of productivity lost will increase. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important to prevent cancer and improve screening to facilitate earlier treatment. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), cancers related to cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption are totally preventable. In 2006, there were 170,000 preventable tobacco-related cancer deaths. One in every three of the 564,830 cancer deaths in 2006 were due to poor nutrition, decreased physical activity, and overweight or obesity. All these deaths were preventable with education about proper diet and activity. Approximately 35% of cancer is attributed to dietary factors; and 30%, to cigarette smoking. One million squamous and basal cell skin cancers could have been prevented with use of sun protection. Other cancers related to hepatitis B virus (HBV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and Helicobacter pylori infections could be prevented with lifestyle changes, education, immunizations, and antibiotic treatment (Table 2) (1). In 1996, the ACS added regular physical activity to the list of recommended preventive measures. Photo by John Tarant... Table 2 There are many studies demonstrating the link between decreased physical activity and cancer (1,7-9). Sedentary jobs are associated with a 60% increased risk of colon cancer (9,10). Men who exercise 1 to 2 hours a day have a 50% decrease in colon cancer. The Harvard University study of 48,000 professional men controlled for dietary factors including fiber intake and found that physical activity alone lowers risk of colon cancer (10). Similar studies have demonstrated that a sedentary lifestyle is associated with increased risk of breast and uterine cancer for women and prostate cancer for men (9,11). The American College of Sports Medicine, ACS, and the American Heart Association recommend at least 30 minutes of brisk physical activity-above usual physical activity-on five or more days per week to reduce the risk of various types of cancers (1,12). Increasing to 45 to 60 minutes of exercise further reduces the risk of colon and breast cancers. Activity recommendations extend to children and adolescents. There is an increasing trend of overweight and obesity in young people, thereby increasing their lifetime risk of cancer. To counter this trend, the ACS recommends at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity at least 5 days of the week (11). Previously sedentary men older than 40 years or women older than 50 years or people with cardiovascular risk need to consult with a physician before starting a new exercise program. The same is true for sedentary people with chronic medical conditions. Dietary changes are important for prevention because of the link between overweight and obesity and cancer (7,8,11). Increased calorie intake and weight gain are associated with increased circulating insulin and hormone levels. Hormones are associated with the regulation of growth and replication of different cell types; excessive levels may lead to increased growth of abnormal cells. Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables each day is important. Besides increasing dietary fiber, fresh fruits and vegetables contain cancer-fighting antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Properly prepared fruits and vegetables are usually lower in calories than processed foods, helping to control weight. Eating more whole-grain foods and less processed and red meats helps to reduce risk of colon cancer (9,11). Another simple measure to prevent cancer is the use of proper sun protection. More than one million squamous and basal cell skin cancers can be prevented every year with the use of sunscreen and by limiting sun exposure. Simple vaccinations for HPV and HBV vaccines can prevent cancer. Proper treatment of H. pylori and HIV infections can prevent other cancers. Screening also is important in both cancer prevention and early treatment. Cancer-related costs of indirect morbidity (time lost for illness) and direct mortality demonstrate the need for early diagnosis and effective treatment. Currently, more than 17% of Americans younger than 65 years do not have any health insurance, and many more lack adequate coverage. Of Americans older than 65 years, 25% have Medicare insurance only (1). Although there are screening tools for many types of cancer, the lack of adequate health care coverage prevents many from being screened. Another obstacle is the lack of education about the need for screening. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides funding for screening programs and community education to increase awareness of cancer prevention and facilitate early treatment (Table 3) (5,8). The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program provides 6.5 million screening and diagnostic breast examinations for low-income women every year. It pays for breast examination, mammogram, and Papanicolaou screening with participating providers. Screen for Life: National Colorectal Cancer Action Campaign promotes screening for colorectal cancer in low-income individuals older than 50 years. The program is only available to people in a few states but is evaluating barriers to proper screening nationwide. The CDC has a lung cancer initiative to prevent and control tobacco use, especially in young people. Because there is no screening test for lung cancer, it is very important to prevent starting and promote smoking cessation. The Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity has a national campaign-Promote a Healthy Diet: 5 a Day-to reduce risk of cancer by encouraging people to eat five or more fruits or vegetables a day. Other CDC funding includes programs for prostate (Prostate Cancer Screening: A Decision Guide) and skin (Guidelines for School Programs to Prevent Skin Cancer) cancers. Table 3 In summary, more than one third of all cancers can be prevented. Increased physical activity can prevent many forms of cancer. Tobacco avoidance, cessation of smoking, weight loss, and other lifestyle modifications can further reduce cancer risk. Appropriate screening can diagnose some common forms of cancer early, facilitating cancer treatment and extending productive life. Back to Top | Article Outline References1. American Cancer Society.

When Isaac Brumaghim, the founder of the Hawaiian Aquahunters crew of kayak anglers, reflects on the 2009 fishing season he remembers trophy fish, dozens of great days on the water and, most of all, a powerful sense of camaraderie, pride and anticipation for the future. This past summer, Brumaghim organized the second annual Makahiki Tournament, in which anglers amass 40 days of fishing in an eight-month-long, total-points event. Brumaghim, an Oahu-local, placed third of 38 competitors in the 2009 Makahiki; Big Island brothers Andy and Steve Cho, who finished one-two for the second year running.
Part of Brumaghim's goal in touting kayak angling in the Hawaiian Islands is to revive the ancient Polynesian skills of small-boat fishing. "People think that kayak fishing is totally new and extreme, but Hawaiian people have been fishing this way for thousands of years," he says. "We are all He Waa Kalawai'a or 'canoe fishermen.'" Thanks to Brumaghim passion for kayak angling and his popular aquahunters.com website, Hawaii is gaining worldwide recognition for trophy marlin, wahoo, mahimahi, barracuda and tuna.
For 2010, Brumaghim has even bigger plans: By introducing a new 25-day amateur division to the Makahiki, he hopes to create a "developmental league" for up-and-coming kayak anglers; and for the pro division, Brumaghim says he plans to up the ante with a $2,500 purse. "With two different divisions and money on the line, man, we've got a lot of work to do," he says, "but we've also got a lot of fun fishing to do as well." Meanwhile, Brumaghim pledges that the Aquahunters will continue in their mission to make Hawaii the world's biggest venue for kayak fishing—through big catches and a serious dose of respect for the sea. "We're striving for a big stage," he says. "But as much fun as it is to catch fish, there's a whole bigger thing that Aquahunters represents and that's being a solid waterman from top to bottom—being seen as skillful, admirable, respectful stewards of the sea and Hawaii's fishing culture. We're so lucky to have that in all the competitors in the Makahiki." – Conor Mihell

Starbucks, actor Dempsey compete for coffee chain
NEW YORK- The competition to buy a small coffee chain is getting steamy, with Starbucks and actor Patrick Dempsey among those vying to become its new owners.
Starbucks Corp. confirmed that it is participating in a bankruptcy auction Thursday to buy Tully's Coffee, which has 47 company-owned locations in Washington and California.
Tully's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October.
Dempsey, who gained the nickname "McDreamy" on the TV show "Grey's Anatomy," also said last week that he wants to rescue the chain.
Baristas Coffee, which operates a chain of drive-thru espresso stands featuring female employees in skimpy outfits, has also expressed interest.
The auction process is not public. The outcome is expected to be filed in court Friday.

I started my journey by first hearing that my father's mother was already a member of the Mayflower Society. How would I go about finding out about this? I did not grow up among my biological family and don't really know any of them. My parents are deceased as well as all grandparents. I have a copy of my father's birth, where his mother is listed by the "pet name" (Gertrude) used by my grandfather, rather than her birth name, Anna. She is listed by this "pet name" in a census as well. All other records (that I can find), shows her birth name.
Contact the Mayflower Society - on their website they give the local representative for your state. They gave me very explicit guidance and suggestions as how to proceed and what exact documents I would need.
Perhaps they can help with the issue of the difference between Gertrude and Anna on documents.

Already for a couple of years, and accelerated by the proliferation of Next-Generation-Sequencers, the volume of sequence databases has grown faster than improvements in computer speed. The computation time for sequence analysis, thus, has become a notable issue in the workflow of life science research, leading to significant delays or use of less-than-optimal tools to avoid such delays. As a solution to this problem, special purpose computers based on the technology of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) can offer significantly better performance at lower cost than standard architectures, due to the data-types and calculation methods commonly employed in bioinformatics. With SciEngines' products, one can expect small data-center processing power at a fraction of the cost.
Additionally, also other application fields in life-sciences, e.g. all types of imaging or molecular modeling, can strongly benefit from the technology. Therefore, SciEngines is happy to provide its FPGA-based massively parallel computer RIVYERA, which enables unprecedented levels of speed and quality for life-science related calculations. Some implemented applications are described below as examples, but please don't hesitate to

I bought this shield and when it first starts up it seems to work fine, i.e. it's connecting to the network etc. But after having it running on my Arduino (using soft serial @ 9600) for about 10 - 20 seconds I started getting a bunch of crazy characters coming out, as if the serial baud rate all of a sudden had changed. I managed to fix this issue by sending the reset command to the cell. AT+CFUN=1,1
Hope that helps someone with the same problem as me.

1626 Tasting Notes
I received three packets of this tea from Angel! I have never heard of this green tea before by this name. Upon opening it up, there were fine, slightly downy, fuzzy, vertically curled up leaves. They were a nice light green-yellow in color. The liquid was a pale yellow. The leaves smelled a little smokey and vegetal. The liquid was a light, buttery, slightly malty in taste. Delicious! It wasn't bitter or astringent. Good cup!
I received this tea in my March Steepster Select. Let me preface this by saying that I am partial to oolongs!
Opening the packet revealed dark brown, thin and almost wiry leaves that had a gorgeous floral, malty and almost muscat scent. Wow, I love dark oolongs. It is as if they hold special secrets. I used the guidelines written on the small brown packet to brew this tea. After steeping, the liquid was a nice golden honey brown. This one was a complex and absolutely delicious flavor. There is honey. Enough said. Well, there are also darker florals (as in not like gardenias or peonies), malt, butter, and slight vanilla and cocoa. Best of all, there is no astringency whatsoever. This tea withstands multiple steeps, which is another aspect of oolongs that I love. The taste evolves with each steeping.
Flavors: Butter, Cocoa, Flowers, Honey, Malt, Vanilla
I received this in my Steepster Select in March. First, this tea is not like other teas. There are actual large, yellow-white, downy BUDS in this tea. Out of the package, it smelled very fresh and moderately floral. Can I say love at first whiff?
Brewing in my glass vessel, the liquid was a very, very pale yellow-white. Initially I thought that I hadn't brewed it long enough; however, I decided to just follow the instructions and try a cup! Wow! It was flavorful despite the tea looking so much like water. The hints of peach and floral and green tones in this is delicious. I cannot wait to try the second packet. I have a feeling this will make its way into my wishlist.
I received this in a swap from adagio breeze a long time ago, and I finally got around to finishing this generous sample! In other words, I had about 10 servings before finishing this up!
This is a great breakfast tea. The leaves are CTC and fine. There wasn't too much dust. It is very strong and brewed VERY dark brown and needless to say, this brew needed sugar and milk to tone the bitterness down a bit. I am not sure which black tea is in this, but it must be a mix. I am assuming there may be some Ceylon and Assam. This would be a great base tea for chai.
Flavors: Dark Bittersweet, Malt
I received my first Steepster Select box today, and I was excited to try it out. I was happy they offered a free trial! Since it was breakfast time, I decided to try the Laos Black #5. I love the packaging; though, I am not sure if it is recyclable.
I open the package and got a nice whiff of fresh, almost white-tea scented leaves. The leaves were wiry and slightly wavy in appearance. It is mixed with black, brown, and light brown leaves. I steeped it according to the instructions into my 8oz glass brewing vessel. The liquid was a nice medium brown color. The scent was nice, slightly malty and sweet. The taste was delicious! It had a hint of honey and sweetness to it. It wasn't astringent or bitter at all. Very good tea! I will resteep the leaves later today.
Flavors: Grass, Honey
I popped this LARGE tin open and admired the beautiful packaging. It is wrapped up inside the tin. When I opened it up, the sweet, caramel aroma was intoxicating! It smells and looks so new, delicious, and fresh! This is exactly what I needed today as I am preparing for my specialty board exam. I am highly stressed, and this sugary, dessert tea is perfect. It isn't bitter at all, but it does well with sugar and milk. Delicious!
Flavors: Caramel

³It was a good day,² said head coach Mark Richt. ³It¹s rare that we have a bad practice (with the noise) because they absolutely have to concentrate. The only thing that it messes up is when you are trying to move the scout team around.²
Punt returner Mikey Henderson jogged throughout the afternoon but did not practice. Richt said players who don¹t practice, don¹t play, so Henderson will be out for Saturday. Freshman DB Asher Allen is listed on the depth chart as Henderson¹s backup and had two returns for 28 yards last week against Western Kentucky.
Under Richt, Georgia is 19-2 in an opponent¹s home stadium and 2-0 at South Carolina. Georgia¹s last two trips to Columbia were slim victories (13-7 in 2002; 20-16 in 2004).

Melbourne: Playing near perfect tennis, Novak Djokovic sent an emphatic warning to Roger Federer and Andy Murray by destroying fourth seed David Ferrer 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 in the Australian Open semi-finals on Thursday.
Murray and Federer meet on Friday and although they will be concentrating on each other they must surely have been impressed by the clinical demolition of Ferrer by the two-time defending champion at Melbourne Park.
"I was aware of David's qualities. I wanted to be aggressive on the court and this was definitely one of the best matches of my career," said the 25-year-old Djokovic, who is seeking to become the first man in the professional era to win three successive Australian Open titles.
"It can only do positive things to my confidence. Definitely at this stage of a tournament, playing semi-finals against the world No. 4, somebody that I have respect for, great competitor, and being able to perform as well as I did, it's incredible," the Serb added.
"I have a great feeling about myself on the court at this moment. Now, I have two days off before the final, which gives me enough time to get ready and recover."
The world No. 1 was in no mood to allow Ferrer the opportunity to come back from a two-set deficit as the Spaniard did against compatriot Nicolas Almagro in the quarter finals, and he stamped his authority on the match early.
He seized the initiative after the fourth game when he began to attack Ferrer's serve and work him around the court.
The Serb ramped up his own service game and reeled off his next three to love before wrapping up the first set in a quickfire 29 minutes.
Djokovic's serve was utterly dominant, winning more than 90 per cent of his first serve points and almost 80 per cent of his second, conceding only seven points on serve in the entire match and not having to face a single break point.
He converted all seven of his own break opportunities.
The second set was just as emphatic, with few in Rod Laver Arena able to draw breath as Djokovic extended his run of holding service games to love to five with a barrage of winners.
The third set continued in the same vein with Ferrer under pressure on his serve and Djokovic running riot when he had the ball in hand.
His dominance was highlighted in the fourth game of the third set when he broke Ferrer to love.
"You need to focus on every point and even though I was two sets up, I didn't want to give him any points," Djokovic added of his mental toughness. (Reuters)

A quiet summer Friday night on Fast Money, not so Fast
Something has been bothering me about President Obama. I can't understand why the closest "Presidential" anything that has come to Wall Street since President Obama took office in January was Air Force One's ridiculous lower Manhattan flyover. Given the tumultuous period Wall Street has experienced and its effect on Main Street, I would think President Obama would come hold hands with "The Street" and sing kumbaya. He can even take credit for the market recovery, no problem.
So, on Friday evening August 28 we had Dr Laura Tyson, presidential advisor to the current administration scheduled to join us on Fast Money. I like Dr Tyson and I have enjoyed talking with her on the show in the past few months. She understands the crisis, even correctly identifying the "Balance Sheet Recession" in the early hours of the crisis. Clearly, she is a brilliant woman who speaks with great candor.
So I fired away, asking Dr Tyson why, when, if President Obama was coming to Wall Street to "bury the hatchet." Remember, I have been a market bull for much of this year. But her answer gives me pause looking forward. It concerns me that yes, a "W" is coming, not George 43, but a possible double dip recession unfolding a year or so from now.
By the way, her answer was to debate me about whether there was a hatchet considering all President Obama had done for Wall Street; I think she wanted me to acknowledge that the hatchet was a life preserver. But the debate itself and the apparent continued divide between Pennsylvania Avenue and Wall Street concerns me.
If the pending financial market regulation, policies and taxes are enacted without any consultation with the Street, the "W" is coming. A "W" that makes me look forward to late 2010 and want to invest based on the themes of inflation, rising yields, and Emerging Market economies.

removing counterweight..danger!
So i removed my getrag shifter counterweight. I talked to my friend that works at rousch/svt technical side about it and he got all mad at me for doing it. He told me many times that there is a reason they put it on there. Its to remove the stress off of the shifter cables and ends. One hard shift and you might be stuck on the side of the road with broken cable ends. After hearing this i put mine back on right away.
Just thought i would share this info. I'm sure no one on here wants to buy new cables at some point.
i've had mine off since Doug (WD40) first posted his thread. i've had no problems with mine and i've done many quick shifts already. my linkage hasn't popped off the tranny so i think that weight only added to that problem.
It will break over time. If you think about it the weight does a lot of work. When you shift you move the linkage but the counterweight acts as a pusher helping the linkage shift into place.
I'm saying the cables will break over time..not pop off.
No ill effects as well, at least yet. Guess it would be nice to hear from people who had the weight off for a while (prior to WD's post). I can see the rationale though. When my old cables broke a few months ago they had plastic teeth on the cable holding them in place. The new cables installed were redesigned with better buttons and metal teeth. I'm hoping they can withstand more abuse.
i was saying my cables popped off before the removal, i think the added weight just put more force and momentem on the cables as i shifted and popped off the tranny. i hadn't had that problem or any other since i had this weight removed. check doug's thread as there are people that had done that a while ago( more then 1 year) and hand't had the broken linkages.
great....ok, linkage veterans, where are you????
Mine has been off for over 20K miles of PW development with no issues - and I drive it harder than anyone.
Our other SVT has probably 15K miles well with no issues.
We have early SVT customers already approaching 10K miles and nobody has mentioned anything.
The weight is there for shift effort 'feel' ... not actual shift effort. I've seen lots of automotive band aids in my career, but a weight to assist effort to keep parts working isn't one of them.
^^^my verdict is IN.....i'm never putting that F*er back in......
even if I *cough* boost my car, I'll keep it out.....he's good with it, I'm good with it
thank you for clarifying that [thumb]
I'm just thought i would pass along what my friend told me at roush.
no problem, but COSDEVSVT tests with this off, and so do some of his clients. that's enought peace of mind for me.....

Can a Saint Falsely Accuse God?
Jesus' parable of the talents recorded in Matthew 25:14-30 was a warning that it is possible for us to misjudge our capacities.

Can A Saint Slander God?
Jesus told the parable of the talents recorded in Matthew 25 as a warning that it is possible for us to misjudge our capacity. This parable has not to do with natural gifts, but with the Pentecostal gift of the Holy Ghost. We must not measure our spiritual capacity by education or by intellect; our capacity in spiritual things is measured by the promises of God. If we get less than God wants us to have, before long we will slander Him as the servant slandered his master: "You expect more than You give me power to do; You demand too much of me, I cannot stand true to You where I am placed." When it is a question of God's Almighty Spirit, never say "I can't." Never let the limitation of natural ability come in. If we have received the Holy Spirit, God expects the work of the Holy Spirit to be manifested in us.

Game Notes for Monday, July 21
Principal Park - Des Moines, IA
By Iowa Cubs | July 21, 2014 6:59 PM ET
TONIGHT'S GAME: The Iowa Cubs and New Orleans Zephyrs open up a four-game series. The Zephyrs are the Pacific Coast League affiliate of the Miami Marlins. This is the first game of a nine game home stand over seven days for the Cubs.
SWEEP ELUDES CUBS: The Cubs and Express played to a 2-2 deadlock through nine innings yesterday after both teams had a two-run inning. The Cubs took the lead in the 11th inning with a Rafael Lopez RBI single, but couldn't close out the game as Brent Lillibridge led off the bottom of the frame with a home run against Marcus Hatley. The Express would win the game, and avoid a four-game series sweep, in the 12th inning as Ryan Rua drove in Brett Nicholas with the game winning single.
RUSIN ROULETTE: LH Chris Rusin allowed two runs on 10 hits, walked one and struck out five over seven innings last night, but didn't factor in the decision for the first time in 18 starts this year. He has figured in the decision in 27 of his last 29 starts in an Iowa uniform. Despite making two relief appearances for Chicago this season, Rusin still ranks third in the PCL with 114 innings pitched. He trails teammate Eric Jokisch for the league lead by four innings.
BAEZ GOES STREAKING: INF Javy Baez went 3-for-6 last night to extend his season-high hitting streak to 14 games. He is batting .310 (18-for-58) with six doubles, five home runs, 14 RBI, and nine runs scored during this steak. The hitting streak is the longest for any Cub this season. Baez's .252 batting average on the year is the highest its been this season. Since May 16, Baez has hit .304 (68-for-224) with 20 doubles, 13 home runs and 50 RBI in 60 games.
BIG FLY BRYANT: 3B Kris Bryant homered in the first two games of last series and has 11 home runs in 28 games with the I-Cubs this year. Combined with his 22 home runs at double-A Tennessee, Bryant leads all of Minor League Baseball with 33 home runs. Bryant also leads the minors in total bases (249), extra-base hits (61), slugging (.705), and OPS (1.146). He is tied for first in RBI (84), ranks second in runs (81), fourth in OBP (.441), and fifth in batting average (.346).
VS. NEW ORLEANS: The Cubs lead the season series 4-3. These teams split a four-game series at Principal Park in early April, and the Cubs won two games in a rain-shortened three-game series at Zephyr Field in May. It was their first series win in New Orleans since also taking two of three, June 26-29, 2010. The Cubs make their second trip to New Orleans to finish off the season series, July 29-August 1. Last year, the Zephyrs won the season series 11-5, including a 5-3 mark at Principal Park. The Zephyrs have won the season series over the Cubs in three straight seasons, going 30-14 from 2011-13. New Orleans leads the all-time PCL series 113-112, but the Cubs hold a 66-52 advantage at Principal Park.
POWER BALL: The Cubs hit seven home runs in the four-game series against Round Rock. That tied a season-high for home runs in a series. The Cubs hit seven home runs in their first series at Dell Diamond, May 19-22. The Cubs set their single-game home run record with eight at Dell Diamond on August 9, 2008. The Cubs rank 11th in the PCL with 87 home runs through 101 games. Las Vegas leads the league with 125.
LARS AND IN CHARGE: Lars Anderson went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and run scored last night, and has collected five hits in the last two games. After starting the year 2-for-28, Anderson is batting .392 (20-for-51) over his last 20 games with five doubles, two home runs, 13 RBI and eight runs scored.
LIGHTS OUT RIVERO: RH Armando Rivero tossed two scoreless innings last night, and he hasn't given up a run in his last 7.2 innings, covering five appearances. Rivero has allowed just two earned runs, striking out 20 and walking only five, in his first 14 innings at triple-A level.
FUJIKAWA JOINS ON REHAB: RH Kyuji Fujikawa joins the I-Cubs bullpen on a rehab assignment tonight. Fujikawa underwent Tommy John surgery last June after appearing in 12 games with Chicago. He has made six rehab appearances between Rookie Mesa and single-A Kane County, and hasn't allowed an earned run, while striking out nine and walking just two in 5.2 innings.

Trib exclusive: Who tries Gadhafi's son could determine future of concept of national sovereignty
Since 2011, when Libyans overthrew and killed Moammar Gadhafi, a little-noticed but highly significant legal battle has been fought over who will prosecute those in his regime accused of human-rights abuses.
In particular, the fate of his son, Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, is the subject of an enormous struggle between Libya's post-Gadhafi government and the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Will Libya's new government or the ICC try Saif for crimes committed during his father's rule and the civil war that ousted him? This is not a dry-as-dust dispute over the jurisdiction of competing courts but a fundamental political issue about national responsibility and sovereignty with profound implications for the United States.
When the ICC treaty was under negotiation, supporters argued it would be needed only when a country's legal system wouldn't prosecute its own citizens. The "complementarity" doctrine, they contended, would ensure that nations prepared to take responsibility for crimes committed in their names would be free to do so.
Of course, no one had any idea how the abstract, untested "complementarity" theory would actually work. Moreover, an even more fundamental issue was at stake: Is it always desirable to prosecute alleged human-rights violators or can countries legitimately choose other ways to confront their history, resolve abuses and disputes and move forward?
For example, after apartheid, South Africa established a truth-and-reconciliation commission to encourage exposing the full truth about apartheid's crimes, providing amnesty for those who confessed fully. Several former Communist-bloc police states preferred a general release of information about their history and blanket forgiveness, believing so many had been implicated in human-rights violations, even if unwillingly, that prosecutions would keep society's open wounds festering.
Each country has to make a mature judgment whether to follow a criminal-justice formula or whether progress, social peace and stability are better served by other approaches. If prosecution is rejected, there is now a risk the ICC will try to overturn the national decision and prosecute anyway. That risk is now manifested in the ICC's demands to prosecute Saif Gadhafi.
If the ICC can override Libya, which actually intends itself to prosecute the miscreants, what recourse is there for countries wishing to pursue the alternative approach?
ICC proponents say Libya is not capable of a serious prosecution. That might currently be true but it is not a compelling reason to immediately extradite Saif (still held by anti-Gadhafi rebels who captured him in 2011, not by the new government), thereby relinquishing the potential for trial in Libya. Many Africans will see this as yet another example of a European-dominated ICC (understandably, given European Union leadership in establishing it) presuming to administer criminal justice to former colonies.
The African Union's May summit complained bitterly that the ICC has conducted only eight formal investigations, all of them related to Africa. Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said "now the process has degenerated into some kind of race hunting."
Will Libya be forced to submit to the ICC, thereby establishing a precedent against other sovereign states? (Libya is not an ICC member but the U.N. Security Council conferred jurisdiction on it, supported by the Obama administration's naïve enthusiasm for multilateralism.) ICC advocates worry that successful defiance by Libya will accelerate a growing challenge to their larger plans for global governance, in which the ICC is a crown jewel.
In a closely related development, the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY) acquitted two Serbian officials charged with directing Bosnian Serb paramilitary campaigns against Muslims in the 1990s that resulted in terrible human-rights abuses. The ICTY and a sister court established after the Rwanda genocide were, in effect, precursors of the ICC, which was intended to be their permanent successor.
By limiting the theory of "command responsibility," the ICTY has dramatically restricted the ability of prosecutory zealots to reach to the very top political leaders of a country, even without conclusive evidence. One major goal of ICC advocates was always to deter and constrain America from what they saw as its excessively free-wheeling actions. Not for them the argument that democratic governments are responsible to their own citizens and constitutions; they wanted accountability to the self-important, high-minded people who advocate "international norms" regardless of democratic legitimacy.
Whatever the limitations of Libya's current government — and there are many — the outcome of this seemingly distant dispute is important for the United States. Are countries sovereign on such issues, or sovereign only if the ICC allows it? That is why what happens to Saif Gadhafi might someday matter to a president of the United States.

I remember the first time I attended 3GSM in Cannes: It was primarily a B2B telecoms trade show and centered on DVB-H, WiMAX, and other technology-centric acronyms. Fast-forward 11 years, and Mobile World Congress (MWC) will be the center of the business world for a couple of days (March 2 to 5). Some things don't change: We will continue to hear too much about technology. Simply ignore the hype, especially around 5G; it will have no impact at all on your marketing strategy for the next five years!
However, the list of keynote speakers is a good indication of what MWC has become: a priority event for leaders willing to transform their businesses. The CEOs of Facebook, Renault-Nissan, SAP, MasterCard, and BBVA will be speaking, and more than 4,500 CEOs will be among the 85,000 attendees (only 25% of which are from operators). It is fascinating to see how mobile has changed the world in the past 10 years — not just in the way that we live and communicate but also in terms of disrupting every business. I strongly believe that mobile will have a bigger impact than the PC or Web revolutions. Why?
First, mobile is the fastest and most ubiquitous technology ever to spread globally. People in Asia and Africa are skipping the PC Internet and going direct to mobile phones; they're the ultimate convergent device and often the only way to reach people in rural areas. As Andreessen Horowitz's Benedict Evans put it, mobile is "eating the world". It has already cannibalized several markets, such as cameras, video recorders, and GPS, and is now disrupting entire industries, changing the game for payments, health, and education, especially in emerging countries. Second, mobile is the bridge to the physical world. It is not just another "subdigital" channel. This alone has a huge impact on business models. Last, mobile is a catalyst for business transformation.

Will the iPhone 6, to be announced on September 9, have NFC and a Sapphire Crystal display?
What about the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4, to be announced at Unpacked on September 3? And will the new Nokia Lumia 730 (a.k.a Superman), to be announced on September 4, have a 5-Megapixel rear-facing camera?
This week's scheduled launch events from Samsung, Sony, Microsoft, Motorola, LG, and Apple will cause lots of comparison about device features – with about 15 new devices to be launched along the IFA show in Berlin.
It simply does not matter.
Forrester made the call that competition shifted from devices to ecosystems about two years ago. New devices are simply vehicles for increasing the value of the entire digital relationship across a rich digital platform.
As my colleague Frank Gillett puts it, "Samsung's challenge is to establish an enduring relationship with customers, rather than being an interchangeable Android device maker – and it will take more than a new Galaxy Note to do that."
Posted by Thomas Husson on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on February 11, 2014
Last year, when attending my tenth Congress in a row, I wrote that MWC 2013 would be more global and more disruptive than ever before. I believe the same will be true this year, with 2014 bringing a very important milestone in the shift to mobile: an install base of more than 2 billion smartphones globally. Mobile is transforming every industry by offering global reach and the ability to offer contextual services. That's why we'll see many more marketers, agencies, business executives, and strategists attend the traditional telecom show.
Gone are the days when MWC was about operators' supremacy. As my colleague Dan Bieler summed it up in this blog post, telcos are increasingly being backed into a corner. I still remember this quote from Arun Sarin, the former CEO of Vodafone, in the Financial Times in November 2007: "Just the simple fact we have the customer and billing relationship is a hugely powerful thing that nobody can take away from us." Really? Well, in the meantime, Apple and Google have created two powerful mobile platforms that have disrupted entire industries and enabled new entrants to connect directly to customers.
From a marketing and strategy perspective, I'd categorize the likely announcements in three main areas:

Let's step back to January 2007. Do you remember what your job was at that time? I was already an industry analyst covering mobility, and at that time, the space was less fascinating to cover. Back in January 2007, Google had acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion only a couple of months before. Android did not exist. The iPhone did not exist. Twitter did not exist. Facebook was only a couple of months old as an open public website. Nokia had a market valuation of around $120 billion, and its share of the global smartphone market was above 45%. BlackBerry – then the leader in enterprise mobility solutions – had initiated a move in the consumer space with the BlackBerry Pearl.
Less than seven years later, Google has activated more than 1 billion Android devices, and Apple will soon pass the 700 million iOS devices mark. YouTube now has more than one billion users globally and generates 40% of its traffic from mobile devices. Facebook has 1.2 billion users and generates 41% of its ad revenues from smartphones and tablets (it could even reach 50% in Q3 2013; Facebook discloses its financial results on October 30). Twitter has more than 230 million users and generates more than 70% of its revenue via mobile.

Last week, we released our newest report about the future of TV and argued in it and the accompanying blog post that the battle for the TV is not really about TV. It's about the future of the platform giants like Apple, Google, and Microsoft that want to add the TV to their platform ambitions. Surprising to some was our claim that Microsoft was in the lead in the US TV platform battle with its base of millions of Xbox 360 owners generating more online video views on the TV screen than viewers of any other device. Many have challenged this assertion, putting the data about current use aside and asking a good question:
Won't Apple easily walk away with the TV business once it releases its next big thing, presumably a TV?

VHS to DVD Converters Review
Why Buy a VHS to DVD Converter?
The top performers in our review are Diamond Video Capture, the Gold Award winner; Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus, the Silver Award winner; and AVerMedia DVD EZMaker, the Bronze Award winner. Here's more on choosing a product to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our ranking of these 10 VHS to DVD converters.
In today's world of high-definition streaming services, digital downloads and Blu-ray, it's easy to forget that the obsolete VHS tape once dominated the home entertainment market. If you wanted to watch movies, TV shows or other special programming at home, you either had to wait for them to air on broadcast television or go to a video store like Blockbuster or Hollywood Video to rent or buy them. Now VHS has been relegated to the realm of nostalgia.
It wasn't just high-budget Hollywood blockbusters that made up VHS collections. Home movies recorded on VHS camcorders captured millions of hours of personal and family moments – and you can't download those from iTunes. It's a high probability that you still have at least some of your VHS library stored in a box or a closet somewhere. And unlike today's advanced formats, these tapes will not last forever. The magnetic tape that contains all that footage will slowly degrade until they're no longer watchable.
Fortunately, you can save your videotapes from this fate by digitizing them with VHS to DVD converters. These products allow you to transfer VHS not only to DVD, but also into digital video files that you can store on your hard drive, upload to the internet, and share with your friends and family. Once you transfer your VHS videos to a digital format, they have a whole new life, one that will outlast the tapes they were originally carried on – and you can finally throw out those obsolete cartridges and VCR. Be sure to check out our articles about converting your videos to DVD format and more.
What to Look for in VHS to DVD Converters
We tested, rated and ranked the best VHS to DVD converters on the market today. Below are the criteria we considered in our evaluation.
Capture & Customize
Each product on our lineup comes bundled with software that allows you to transfer VHS to DVD. We tested each VHS converter program to determine how intuitive it is and how easy it is to access and use common functions like starting and stopping the capture process, editing footage, creating DVD menus, and burning a new disc.
Many commercially produced VHS tapes are copy-protected, which means that you can't transfer them to DVD. The best VHS to DVD converters have the ability to circumvent these protections so you can digitize the tapes you've bought and paid for. This is especially useful if you have movies or shows that aren't available on DVD or other home media.
The editing tools in these VHS to DVD converters allow you to trim away unwanted footage, as well as add effects, transitions titles and more. The best VHS converters give you the ability to add chapter breaks and DVD menus to your conversion. These features allow you to give your converted discs a professional look and feel, as well as access converted footage quickly and easily.
We used each VHS converter on our side-by-side comparison chart to make a new DVD of an old VHS tape. Our video experts then examined the results and compared the quality of the audio and video against the source tape. They looked for imperfections in the video such as pixelation, motion blur and artifact. Each program was then given a grade from A to F based on this evaluation.
All of these VHS converters must capture the footage in real time as it plays on your VCR. However, each converter program burns discs at different speeds. We timed how long it takes each product to burn a new disc from a converted VHS file. The best programs can create a new disc in less than 10 minutes. Lesser programs can take over 14 hours to burn a single disc.
The best programs we reviewed can do more than simply transfer VHS to DVD. They also have the ability to create stand-alone video files that you can use on your computer, upload to the internet and watch on your mobile devices. Some of the converters in our review can even optimize your conversion for playback on a specific device like a smartphone or tablet.
Help & Support
Transferring VHS tapes to DVD can be a complicated process. The best products offer technical and customer support options to help you with any problems you might encounter. Most common problems can be solved by consulting the FAQs or knowledgebase section on the converter's official website. The best manufacturers also allow you to contact them via email, phone and even live chat. These avenues help you use your VHS converter to its fullest potential.
Our Verdict & Recommendations
At the end of our evaluation, we found the following programs to be the best VHS to DVD converters you can buy.
Diamond Video Capture comes bundled with a copy of the award-winning video-editing program PowerDirector, which does far more than simply capture your videotapes and burn them to a DVD. You can also use it to create complex video projects, complete with titles, transitions, effects and more. The quality of the burned discs is the best of all the products on our side-by-side comparison chart.
Roxio VHS to DVD 3 Plus is a software-hardware combo that Roxio specifically designed to convert VHS tapes. It walks you through the conversion process step by step and eliminates the guesswork. This is a great program that anyone can use, even if they have only limited computer skills.
AVerMedia DVD EZMaker not only comes with a copy of PowerDirector, but also PowerProducer, an advanced tool for constructing professional-level DVDs. While burning discs with this software isn't as straightforward as it is with PowerDirector, it's definitely worth learning if you want to create a more advanced VHS to DVD conversion.
In the world of home entertainment, there's no such thing as a permanent format. Some new tech will always come along and replace what came before. Fortunately, VHS to DVD converters give you the ability to preserve the past and bring it into the digital age. And once it's there, you can burn discs, share your videos on social media and basically save your tapes from obsolescence.

Mr Page gave me good and timely advice. He resolved my case in a efficient and very satisfactory manner. He established the allegations, researched the facts, and used his experience to counsel me to a reasonably positive conclusion.
Posted by anonymous
Mr. Page is an incredibly compassionate and competent attorney. He was always one step ahead in every aspect of my case. I truly felt he was looking out for my best interest; he would give me every possible scenario along with options for each and was considerate of how the outcomes could affect me and my family. He consistentIy kept me informed and was always avaliable to answer any questions that I had; no matter how trivial or critical. I couldn't imagine how I would have navigated the legal system with anyone other than Mr. Page. He is a genuinely kindhearted and humble man.

BlackBerry 10.2.1 will also make the audio on BBM Voice and BBM Video sound like you're chatting with a person in the same room as you, thanks to BlackBerry Natural Sound. Actionable lock screen notifications will allow you to respond to an important message quickly, with a mere tap of the screen. To unlock your 'Berry quicker, you can use a picture password which lets you combine a picture and a number (0-9) to get access to your phone.
BlackBerry 10.2.1 will also make it easier for BlackBerry users to monitor their battery life to see which apps are eating away at the cell powering their 'Berry. And of course, the update also improves the AndroidRunTime on the phone, allowing more Android apps to be used, with a better experience.
AT&T suggests that you have your battery charged to at least 50% when downloading and installing the update, which can take all of 15 minutes to 30 minutes to complete. You should also be on a Wi-Fi network, although the carrier says that the process of updating the software on your BlackBerry will not count against your monthly bucket of data. If you're the impatient sort, you can try to see if the update is available to you by swiping downward on the home screen, and going to Settings>Software Updates>Check for Updates.

Just curious to hear what restrictions people have run into at their local ranges.
Just got my membership at my local range ( just moved here last fall ) and asked what the max caliber was that I could fire . The gentleman laughed and told me he brings his 50 cal BMG there to shoot , so as long as it's not anything bigger , I;m all set . He even let me know that if I had a full auto weapon I could fire that there to as long as I make sure that I have my paperwork for it with me. Then the question of concealed carry into the range came up and again , no problem . BTW , being a member now allows me to shoot whenever I want between the hours of 9am and 1/2 hr before sunset . All outdoor range so weather is the only thing that would hold me back . So far this has been the most accomidating range I have been to .
Of course you had to share this and then be 2,000 miles away from me.
lol no restrictions whatsoeaver for me , i shoot on my pastureland .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
My indoor range has many restrictions, all geared to noise and range damage -- no magnums, essentially.
Indoor Range: No rifle calibers allowed (even if they are shot with a contender or like pistol).
Outdoor: None, I shoot on private land out in the country. I do have to pick up my litter though (if I had any) so I guess that is one restriction.
Pay Outdoor Range in the area: No center fires on the .22 range (but you can fire .22's on the center fire range). No MG's on any range other than the MG range. No skeet/clay shooting on any of the ranges except the skeet/clay range. Oh, and no talking back to the RO if there is one on duty*.
*Had a member that did this when I was a member awhile ago. This BIG 6' 6", 250lbs (no fat), Former Marine (or Army, I've forgotten) RO PICKED this guy off the ground with one hand, CARRIED him to his car, and STUFFED him through the window with a warning to never come back to the range!
The folks that he'd come with packed up and hastily left
I asked the RO right before I let my membership expire if anything ever came about because of it (lawsuit, etc..) and he just smiled and said, "The little *won't put in word* wouldn't dare".
I shoot at an 'unmanaged' public range, and I run into more problems with idiots than regulations... but I did have a conservation dept. guy tell me that I'm not supposed to shoot at my steel spinner targets.
At the local indoor range, it's pistols only, and no more than one shot per second unless you're at a bowling pin match or some such. If you're a regular, they don't pay much attention to the rapid fire rule...
There's a few outdoor ranges in the area where they go too far for me in the interest of safety. Hey, it's their range, their rules, but I don't consider firing more rapidly than once every 3 seconds to be unsafe. Therefore, I shoot at the unsupervised range... and avoid the idots.
Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. It's worth it.
No full auto, rapid fire is max 10 rounds in a string. Guns are supposed to be unloaded except at the firing line, including CCW--That's the one that bugs me most. No drawing unless you are a known "IPSC" or Cowboy Action shooter. 50 BMG is supposed to be at the end lane. Steel targets must not be rigid, no centerfire rifle on steel targets. Cowboy loads or rimfire only on the club's steel targets. No humanoid targets. No pistol on the rifle range.
Range is rarely manned, and the only thing I know that gets strictly enforced is stuff the neighbors can hear.

This new book, says Hermione Lee, "brings McGahern richly back to life on the page."
When Ron is dragged into a shack by a large black dog, Harry and Hermione follow as the true identities are revealed.
"I was the Hermione," she said, referring to the brainy Harry Potter character.
The Horcrux causes turmoil in its wearer, leading Ron to storm off when he believes Harry and Hermione are having an affair.
The real magic happens when Harry, Ron, and Hermione search for the stone when they believe it is in peril.
Hermione blushed, and looked away towards the distant woods.
It is still possible that the Hermione may be charged with them.
I recollect now how disappointed Hermione looked when she read the will.
He hastened to relieve her, while Hermione murmured regrets that he wasn't staying.
The knowledge has crushed me, Hermione; it has made me hate myself and love you.

Snow Park Technologies Constructs an Unrivaled Urban Plaza for Skiers and Snowboarders
at Bear Mountain on "Mountain Movers"
"Bear of a Job" to Air Thursday, June 13 at 8pm ET/PT on The National Geographic Channel
Gunny heads back to Bear Mountain, Calif., the resort where SPT got its start 20 years prior. Here, with co-founder Mike Binnell, they'll create a high-tech "mini city" on the last stop of the Red Bull Urban Plaza run. The plan is to start with a 40-foot long stairless feature that will lead to a shipping container that has been transformed to look like the facade of a police station, and is accompanied by a set of "fast-planters" jibs. A severed cop car will be attached to the side of the wall, which will stick out enough to create a rideable surface. SPT pairs with GoPro to install cameras to allow riders to watch the moves they have just performed at the plaza, a technology component that SPT hasn't done before. Between the three features and the added technology component, SPT will have their work cut out trying to complete the project within their four-day build window.

When to start with Schutzhund?
I'd like to get my girl started in Schutzhund. She'll be six months on the 22nd of this month. So far, we've been doing basic obedience only.
What's a good age to start and is there anything I should be doing in terms of preparatory training, before finding/joining a club? Thanks for your help!
I took my 8 week old puppy to my training group for socialization, rag work and fun puppy stuff. Now is definitely a good time to start. You probably won't do any bitework until the obedience foundation is solid, and will start on a tug or something. Go get involved! ;)
I also have a puppy who will be 6 months next week. I plan to start his tracking next week, obedience this summer (well he knows basic stuff, but I mean more IPO-specific), and then start taking him to club training in the fall or next spring. I am not rushing him but also can start the tracking on my own.
Thanks guys! (Liesje, your pup and mine share a birthday!)

I start bringing mine as soon as I get them and work on our foundation stuff like rear end awareness and lured heeling. I also start tracking as soon as I can, and introduce a little rag/prey work just to get them totally comfortable engaging with another person from day 1. Its a great opportunity for socialization too.
I agree with Alexis...and if you are new to the sport, it is more for you as a handler than for your young puppy. You'll learn so much by watching other handlers(observing the helperwork as well, and asking questions if you don't understand what is going on) and chatting with them. Hope you can find a great supportive group to train with! It is addictive.

I'm with these two. Actually we are picking up a puppy Saturday morning and going straight from the airport to the training field haha. Talk about an early start :eek:

New puppy for you?
David Winners
Thanks guys! What's the correct etiquette, when approaching a club about potentially joining?
I did some research and emailed one of the local clubs that seems like it would be a good fit, but it's been a while and I haven't heard anything back. They have the training schedule posted online. Do we just show up? (I don't want to come off as rude.)
I would call. No, just showing up is generally not wanted.

Welcome to my genealogy website. Of course I cheated a little bit and bought The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding tool which makes it a lot easier. I will attempt to break this into 4 trees, Thomas, Akers, Meeneghan and Arnold families. I have some work to do, but I enjoy doing it. I will grant permission to some contributors (once I figure out how) which allow viewing information on living persons, but I will never knowingly allow such information to become available to the public.
I am a stickler for verifiable information on persons, events, etc. that I enter. If the information cannot be verified through some kind of legal document, newspaper article etc. and it concerns ancestors, then I may choose not to add it or I may add it with a caveat that no empirical evidence is available at this time to substantiate the information. You may ask why I make such a drastic sounding requirement; it is because as I have conducted my research on the Thomas and Akers families, I have found that many of the tales told down through the ages just simply are not true, others may or may not be true. Take for instance the fact that most websites say Gilshot Thomas served with his son James in the SC Militia during the Revolutionary War. I proved the existence of a Gilshot Jr who is older than James by at least 15 years, so, was it father-son or brothers serving? That has yet to be proven.
Anyway, I hope you like the website.

New Equipment Ordered
Posted on | April 4, 2011 | No Comments
I finally ordered a new heater for my 26 gallon aquarium. I ordered a Hydor ETH In-Line 200 watt heater. I like the idea of having less equipment inside the tank. I also ordered a Pinpoint pH monitor. I like to have continuous pH monitoring for my planted aquarium.
I'm thinking about getting a different regulator for my co2 cylinder. I have the AquariumPlants.com Electronic CO2 Regulator, which I reviewed here. I like this regulator ok, I'd just like to try something new.
I also ordered a couple zebra nerite snails, and a couple Amano shrimp. I'm hoping those will help me with some ongoing algae problems.

CTS Recall
I posted this in the 3rd Gen CTS section, but thought I would put it here too. Its not for turbo clicking sound, but some parking cable. Just a heads up you don't get another Cadillac product for GM recall. The replacement for my 15 Escalade was a 13 Impala (old body) when that got recalled they gave me a base Malibu. So now maybe I can go from a 15 Escalade and 14 VSport to a Malibu and Sonic, ohh maybe I will get one of those cute Sparks ..... yippee !
— 68,887 model year 2013-14 Cadillac ATS and 21,863 model year 2014 Cadillac CTS sedans for a loose shifter cable in automatic transmissions that could keep them in park.
Full Article
Re: CTS Recall
If you want to check to see if your CTS is part of the recall I listed the website below. Occasionally when I turn on my V-Sport and shift into reverse the parking brake is engaged. I never set my parking brake so I always thought it strange. I don't know if this recall was at the heart of the problem or if its just my car?

I'm gone to convey my little brother, that he should also visit this blog on regular
basis to get updated from most recent reports.
Particularly Pretty: Prieto Picudo 02/25/12
Those of you familiar with my Twitter account, blog, or drinking habits in general are probably aware that I'm no stranger to uncommon grape varieties. It's true that my fixation is at least in part a reflection of my tendency to go against whatever is popular, but that alone would not have been enough to sustain my interest for very long. No, there's something else in play here: that mysterious, irresistible allure of the unknown.
As eager as I am to try 100 grapes and claim membership in the Wine Century Club, it is a quest for quality, not quantity that drives me to search continually for new ones. I don't write about every underrepresented grape I sample – indeed, some have been rather disappointing, making it plainly obvious to me why they aren't more popular.
But every so often, a grape comes along that reminds me why I joined the Twitter #Bteam to begin with: to seek out grapes that deserve more attention, and then to do my humble part to spread the word. And while Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir still dominate my tag cloud (for a number of reasons wholly beyond my control), Aglianico, Carmenere and Mencia are putting up a more than noble fight for the limelight.
Today I come before you with another delicious discovery: Prieto Picudo, a grape which not at all surprisingly grows in at least one of the same places Mencia does: Bierzo! You may also know Bierzo as my absolute favorite wine region in northwestern Spain (or indeed, all of Spain). This one didn't come from Bierzo, but it did come from Leon, in which Bierzo is situated – close enough. I will, however, preface my review with the disclaimer that your mileage with this grape may vary, as the bottle I purchased was rather more expensive than the wines I usually drink, at $37. And indeed, some people seem not to like Prieto Picudo very much at all, so who knows? Maybe I just got lucky.
According to @evilbottle, one of the #Bteam's most valued members, Prieto Picudo translates to "dark and pointy," but most sources I went on to find (read: Google) seem to prefer "tight and pointy." Turning to my webmaster for advice (he isn't Spanish but he speaks Spanish), I learned that Prieto Picudo actually translates differently depending on the dialect in play. So while the translation in Spain would be the ubiquitous "tight and pointy," in Mexico the words are more likely to suggest a wine that's "dark and tricky" – a fine way to encapsulate the grape's etymology, if nothing else.
But my first Prieto Picudo came from Spain, so let's get to the point, shall we? The Dominio Dostares Cumal 2005, 100% tight and pointy, didn't come cheap – as I mentioned, it was $37. But it was Valentine's Day, an occasion on which it is only customary to spend a lot of money on one's date. This is, of course, doubly true if you plan on drinking that date.
In the glass, this poured a deep, dark crimson, with slight, light orange/brown tones around the rim – about right for a 7-year-old wine. The nose, however, is what won me over, with powerful aromas of blueberry, cocoa powder, and graphite (for reference, more graphite than this Mencia, but less than these Mencias). In addition, there was another, mysterious note that try as I might, I just couldn't identify. It might have been some sort of berry, or flower, or even a spice – at times I could swear I smelled cumin on this one. Perhaps the palate would impart an explanation.
The palate, as it turned out, didn't clarify much that I needed clarified. Medium-bodied, the wine was excellently balanced, and the tannins were strong enough to hint at a few more years of potential life in this one…if you're into that whole "waiting" thing. As far as flavors go, it displayed similar blueberry, chocolate and graphite to the nose, along with that same unidentifiable enigma note. By way of guessing, and because of its vague similarity to blueberry, I've decided that there's an off-chance the mystery flavor might have been crowberry – they kind of look like blueberries, you see, so I'm assuming they taste a little like them too.
To summarize: Cumal was fantastic, earning thumbs up.
Were I a richer man I'd buy some more of this wine, to continue my investigation. But perhaps I'll simply need to stick to less expensive Prieto Picudo for now…
Oh, and if anyone can offer some more insight into either the linguistic dilemma of Prieto Picudo – namely, that there is more than one correct translation – or the mystery flavor, I'd love to hear from you.

Unquestionably believe that that you said. Your favourite justification appeared to be at the net
the simplest thing to understand of. I say to you, I certainly get
irked while people think about issues that they plainly do not
recognize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest
as neatly as outlined out the entire thing without having side-effects ,
other people can take a signal. Will likely be again to get more.
My brother suggested I would possibly like this website.
He was once entirely right. This publish truly made my day.
You cann't imagine just how so much time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
