Bill Rosendahl lifts his walker over the threshold and carries it into the grow room before anyone in his entourage — press secretary, pot shop owner, pot consultant and bud tender — can rush over to help.
Even after 13 hits of radiation and seven rounds of combination chemo, Rosendahl moves steadily, straight as a poplar, past 2-foot-high cannabis plants labeled Hindu Skunk and Humboldt O.G. And, he says, Herbalcure, the Westside pot dispensary we're touring, is responsible for his vigor.
This is what decades of battles over marijuana use have come to in L.A.: A city councilman taking a journalist around to show where he scores his dope.
Rosendahl doesn't find it as incongruous as I do: After the Westside councilman was diagnosed with cancer, Herbalcure and The Farmacy, a Venice dispensary, developed a weed regimen for him that he says wiped out the pain that once had him writhing in bed, incapacitated.

If you have always wanted to make your home's decor change with the seasons, ceramics provides an inexpensive option.
Spring is here and a very young person might think that means there is plenty of time until the next changing of the seasons. Those of us who have seen a "few" seasons change know better. You'll mow a few times, spend a few days vacationing (if you're lucky), and it'll be time to send the kids back to school and start raking the leaves of fall.
Most people pull out all the stops to decorate for Christmas but you may think it's too much trouble or too expensive to do seasonal decorating. If you have always wanted to make your home's decor change with the seasons, ceramics provides an inexpensive option. As spring arrives, you can pull out a few happy pieces painted in spring colors and - wah-lah - any room in your home can take on the wonder of the budding season. As fall approaches, simply pack away the spring items, pull out some fall items, and you've heralded the coming season.
And if you're looking for a great fall piece to add to your collection, just take a look at this.

Strasburg's Old Blue Room Still Drawing Crowds
Whalen, Kevin. "Strasburg's Old Blue Room Still Drawing Crowds." Bismarck Tribune, 16 February 1982, 11F.
STRASBURG - It started as a poolroom just after the turn of the century in the small, south central North Dakota community of Strasburg.
But as time passed, that poolroom evolved into the Blue Room and Lounge - a famous wedding and dance spot, attracting bands of national renown and drawing folks from many parts of the Peace Garden State.
Even today, the lounge and dance hall play host to wedding dances just about every weekend between May and September, as well as a few now and then during the colder months.
The name has been altered a bit - it now is known as Horner's Lounge and Blue Room - but little else has changed during the past 35 years or so in the Blue Room, located in this bustling town of 660 residents.
Virgil Horner has owned the place for about seven years now. He says the hall, with its walls covered by murals that could have been backdrops from the movie, "Casablanca," still draws the wedding dance crowds.
But it didn't start out that way.
Pius Kraft, a Strasburg resident since 1907, says what is now the Blue Room was built as a pool hall in 1908 and 1909. Only the front part of the current building existed then, says Kraft.
According to a book celebrating the golden jubilee of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic parish in Strasburg, the pool hall was built by Gregory Bichler, who ran the establishment for many years.
Sometime later, the building was remodeled and served as a liquor store.
Kraft, now 86, remembers when the building was used for a time as a bowling alley, but that was many, many years ago.
"We'd set a game," recalls Pius, who was 12 or 13 back then. "For that we used to get a bottle of pop."
Then, there were the regular public dances, which attracted young and old alike from Strasburg and neighboring towns.
Current owner Horner said he can recall attending the dances as a kid growing up in Strasburg.
His most vivid memory of the hall while he was a youth was one month when about 25 weddings were held - "and I didn't miss one, that's why I remember."
A former owner, Leo Mattern, now of Bismarck, also remembers the dances.
He said the crowds generally were well-behaved, although minors were served liquor.
But the facility did not realize its fame as a wedding dance hall until Mattern, his father, Fred, and his brother, Elmer, bought the bar, then known as the Matt-Ray, in 1946 and dubbed it Mattern's Lounge and Blue Room.
They decided to purchase the building after Leo returned to the area following World War II, and Fred was unable to buy any more farmland.
The Matterns are just a few in a long line of owners of the building, so many that even Pius could not recall them.
Elmer bailed out of the partnership in 1947 - "He didn't like the bar business," Leo said - and the two remaining Matterns operated the Blue Room until 1968, when Fred sold out to his son. Leo continued with it until upcoming surgery forced him to sell in 1970, he said.
Because they owned the place for, such a long time, they made many of the hall's major changes and operated it during its heyday.
The Matterns started using the hall, which then was about half its current size, for wedding dances a year after they purchased it, although at the time the Blue Room was without running water and sewage facilities.
Water had to be hauled in, cooking was done on kerosene stoves and people had to make use of outhouses.
In those days, Mattern said, weddings were all-day affairs, and the Blue Room attracted wedding parties not only from Strasburg but from many surrounding communities.
The wedding ceremony was held in the morning, followed by a soup dinner in the Blue Room, he said. Of course, the spirits flowed all afternoon and the dancing continued the whole time.
"Those days, everybody danced," Mattern said. "It was a little different than today - completely different."
After an evening dinner, everyone retired to the lounge, where more refreshments were served.
That style of wedding celebration, Mattern said, went out in the '50s when rock 'n' roll became popular, but the Blue Room continued.
What was it that drew people there to celebrate?
"I don't know why it was so popular," Mattern said. "Maybe it was convenient." Convenient, he said, because its down own location meant the town's four other bars were within a minute's shuffle.
That was not the situation in Linton, for example, where people wanting to try another watering hole had to hop into their vehicles and drive.
While the weddings were the biggest attraction for the Blue Room, they were by no means the only activities held there.
Public dances were held Fridays, and they drew large crowds, Mattern said.
"Oh, they went over big," he said. "It's hard to believe."
Those public dances featured such famous bands as the Six Fat Dutchmen, Whoopee John and Don Shaw, as well as a number of Bismarck-area bands.
"It was pretty well-known all over the United States," Mattern said.
The hall also played host to basketball, community gatherings, movies and, from 1946 to 1949, Saturday roller-skating.
Mattern said roller-skating wasn't very popular, but it was "something for the kids to do."
The bar and dance hall took on a different look under the Matterns, and their changes and remodeling included adding 40 feet to the dance area, putting in a kitchen and installing plumbing in 1949.
The roller-skating wore out the Blue Room's wooden floor and a plastic mat - a relatively new idea at the time - was laid in 1949.
"A guy came in and said he's got plastic and said he'd guarantee it," Mattern recalled. "So we put her in and by God she did the job.
"It's still there."
The front of the building also was remodeled.
The murals that still decorate the walls of both the lounge and Blue Room also were done under Mattern ownership.
Mattern said the mural work was done by a family friend from South Dakota.
"He looked at the place and said, 'Gawd, that's a big job.'" But he completed it all for about $700, Mattern recalled.
The mural in the lounge is a wilderness scene that could have come from northern Minnesota, with lakes surrounded by trees and rolling hills, complete with wildlife.
The Blue Room conveys an atmosphere that would be welcome to Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, what with the palm tree murals and gently-rotating ceiling fans and all.
"He figured it would be the nicest scenery," Mattern said.
But not everything has changed. Much of the woodwork around the bar, for example, is original equipment.
There is one thing the place did not experience, however, and that is the sound of Lawrence Welk, Strasburg's hometown hero.
According to Mattern, Welk and his band never played the Blue Room, neither before nor during the Mattern reign.
"He came back but never played there," Mattern said, adding that when Welk did play, it was at the local school gymnasium.
So put that old rumor out of mind. Lawrence Welk did not play in the Blue Room.
Maybe it was his loss.

The Toronto African Violet Society and
the Toronto Gesneriad Society have merged and formed
the Toronto African Violet and Gesneriad Society.
This site is no longer being maintained.
It will remain as is thru 2018.
Please visit http://tavgs.ca/ our new web site
Welcome to the Toronto Gesneriad Society web site. Our home is on the north shore of Lake Ontario, but our members are international. We have an active and enthusiastic membership with all levels of experience. This site was designed to introduce our society and to inform you of our activities. Check us out.
The purpose of the society is to stimulate a widespread interest in gesneriads; to provide a convenient and beneficial association of persons interested in gesneriads; to gather and publish reliable information relative to the culture, identification and propagation of gesneriads; to provide a forum for the study, exchange and showing of plant material; to support initiatives for the collection and conservation of gesneriads in the wild and to encourage the origination and introduction of new cultivars.
What is a Gesneriad? The question is so often posed and yet so seldom satisfactorily answered.
Why? Simply because there's no easy or concise way in which to answer that question. To do so botanically would involve a lengthy procedure, and would entail a mind-boggling concoction of technical terms which would mean nothing to most of us. The family known as Gesneriaceae was named in honour of Konrad von Gesner, a 16th century Swiss naturalist.
The gesneriad (pronounced either "jez-NARE-ee-ad" or "guess-NARE-ee-ad") is the familiar term commonly used for all the plants in the family Gesneriaceae, which consists of over 133 genera and more than 3000 species. Although gesneriads are one of the largest tropical plant families, there are some genera that grow in alpine regions such as Serbia and on Mount Olympus in Greece.
Here we will relate in simple terms some of the characteristics that help to determine whether or not a plant should belong to this family:
(1) The calyces are made up of four or five green or coloured, leaf-like parts called sepals. The sepals are separate; but sometimes they are united forming a cup or a tube.
(2) Inside the calyx is the corolla that is made up of five petals, or occasionally four, which are joined at the base forming a tube. The tube can be flat (as seen in Saintpaulia), elongated (as seen in Sinningia), or it can be two-lipped, consisting of upper and lower lobes of different sizes (as seen in Columnea).
(3) The ovaries are unicelled, enclosing a large number of ovules. It develops into a seedpod or a berry that contains tiny seeds.
(4) Normally there are two to four stamens in the flower, either fused in pairs or in a circle. There is a single pistil.
(5) The leaves are opposite and almost always simple and they may be in whorls of three or more at the same node. Sometimes the opposite leaves may be of unequal size as is well demonstrated in the genus Dalbergaria. The leaves may be green, variegated or they may be patterned with red or metallic hues, the latter is well demonstrated in the genus Episcia.
(6) Gesneriads may be herbs, shrubs, vines and even small trees. Most are terrestrial, but some like orchids, are epiphytes, which grow in the crutches of trees. In their natural habitat, gesneriads will be found growing in conditions ranging from mottled shade to full sun.
(7) The roots are fibrous, arising from the base of the aerial stem. Underground storage structures called rhizomes and tubers are sometimes produced.
Gesneriads vary in size from that of the miniature Sinningia pusilla, the blossom of which is seldom larger than a shirt button, to that of the trailing Columnea, which if left to grow unchecked, could reach a length of 5 meters. Most of them are of a manageable size and are known to the home grower as African Violet (Saintpaulia), Florist Gloxinia (Sinningia speciosa), Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus), Goldfish Plant (Columnea), Cape Primrose (Streptocarpus) and Flame Violet (Episcia).
The foregoing is by no means the complete definition of what classifies the gesneriads, but we hope that it will provide you with some insight on what is a gesneriad.

Federal Rules - Lawsuit
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — An Orthodox rabbi from Pennsylvania wants a federal judge to stop the state's Board of Funeral Directors from requiring the participation of licensed funeral directors in funerals that don't involve embalming.
Rabbi Daniel Wasserman sued board members and other state officials Monday over what he claims is a recent enforcement effort that infringes on religious freedoms and the right to equal protection under the law.
The 41-page complaint says the law has been enforced selectively against Jews while Amish funeral practices aren't subject to the same regulations. It says the state agency's actions have had a chilling effect on the Pittsburgh Orthodox community's burial rites and practices.

Sweetberry Honeysuckle or Blue-berry Honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea)
Do you recognise those oblong blueberry lookalikes? These are the ripe berries of Lonicera caerula or sweet honeysuckle aka blue-berry honeysuckle (depending on your country of residence, you may know them as le chèvrefeuille bleu, haskap berries (whose flavour is considered to be superior to other blue honeysuckles), honeyberry, marjasinikuusama, blåbärstry, Жимолость съедобная, Blaue Heckenkirsche/Blaue Doppelbeere or something else; söödav kuslapuu/sinine kuslapuu in Estonian). In general the honeysuckle berries are somewhat bitter and mildly poisonous, and it's just the fragrant flowers that are used for making cordial, sorbet etc, for instance (just look at all those posts on FoodBlogSearch). However, the berries of blue-berry or sweet honeysuckle are edible and that's what we've got growing in our garden:
Being one of the first berries to ripen in our Northern climate (just after rhubarb and before strawberries), the blue-berry honeysuckle is a useful source of vitamins and excellent berry flavour. As it's only a second year our honeysuckle bush carries any berries, there are not really enough for making jam or juice or ice cream. I served them on Midsummer eve, piling them on top of my all-time favourite cheesecake, throwing in a handful of wild strawberries as well (also from our own garden, of course).

Did you buy the Sweetberry Honeysuckle or did you find it in the wild? I would like to grow a productive hedge and this sounds a perfect addition to the hedge.

Welcome to the section of the Scottish Rugby website which provides advice and guidance in relation to regulatory matters. The regulatory section comprises two main areas:
The Scottish Rugby Union (Scottish Rugby) is obliged to comply with the Regulations Relating to the Game issued by World Rugby (the "WR Regulations"). These WR Regulations are applicable throughout world rugby and cover topics ranging from the Player Contracting through to areas such as Anti-Doping and the control of Betting within our game.
In order to reflect the unique environment of Scottish rugby, we have supplemented the WR Regulations with further Scottish Domestic Regulations ("SDRs"). We collectively refer to WR Regulations and the SDRs as being the "Regulations".
All those within Scottish Rugby's jurisdiction are required to comply with the Regulations
In addition there are a range of other areas, some of which are regulated by third parties, where we are able to provide regulatory advice and support. These topics include matters such as Child Protection.
On the left hand side of your screen there are a range of tabs. By clicking on a tab you will gain access to the front page of the relevant section of our website. This front page will lead you through the topic, providing you with links to related information on our website and relevant external sources.

Year: 1999
Country: US
City: Seattle
Label: Metal blade
Format: CD, LP
Tracks: 13
Time: 40 min.
Lyrical themes: social issues, politics
Genre: rock
Style: Death Metal
The adjective "punk" next to "death metal" is in the sense of lyrical themes, but strictly musical Six Feet Under is basically death metal with some touches of rock'n'roll, punk and also hardcore... but just a few ones. Originally a side project for Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes and former Obituary guitarist Allen West, Six Feet Under eventually became a full-time proposition when friction between Barnes and his other bandmates became too much to bear. Featuring ex-Death bassist Terry Butler and drummer Greg Gall in the rhythm section, Six Feet Under issued their debut album, Haunted, in 1995. Barnes subsequently quit Cannibal Corpse, and Six Feet Under issued the stopgap EP Alive and Dead in 1996 to tide fans over until the following year's full-length, Warpath. Third album Maximum Violence appeared in 1999. Graveyard Classics followed a year later and 2001's True Carnage featured guest vocals from Ice-T. Double Dead arrived in 2002, followed by Bringer of Blood in 2003, Graveyard Classics, Vol. 2 in 2004, 13 and the Decade in the Grave box in 2005, Commandment in 2007, Death Rituals in 2008, and Graveyard Classics, Vol. 3 in 2010. The band eventually went through a membership shakeup in 2011-2012, with Gall leaving to form a new project, Exitsect, 2011 touring bassist Matt DeVries leaving to join Fear Factory, and Butler leaving to join Obituary. Six Feet Under recruited drummer Kevin Talley, guitarist Rob Arnold, and bassist Jeff Hughell to fill the spots, and later in 2012 released their ninth studio album, Undead. 2013's Unborn featured some guest guitar work from Whitechapel's Ben Savage and Torture Killer's Jari Laine, while 2015's Crypt of the Devil, the group's eleventh studio long player, saw Barnes collaborating with Cannabis Corpse bassist/vocalist Phil "Landphil" Hall. The following year saw the release of the group's fourth album of covers, the aptly-named Graveyard Classis, Vol. 4: Number of the Priest. ~ Steve HueyDiscogs , Lastfm , Download , Wikipedia , Web , Facebook , Myspace , Metal As Protest Music

The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® series continues by re-living one of the most monumental streaks in Tennessee State history.
From 1957-1959, the TSU men's basketball team won three NAIA National Championships and became the first team to ever accomplish the feat.
The Tigers were led by legendary head coach John McLendon who ended up finishing his TSU career with a .878 winning percentage.
On the court, the team featured prolific players such as Dick Barnett and John Barnhill. Barnett is still the school's all-time leading scorer with 3,209 and Barnhill is 19th.
The duo helped the Tigers amass a 94-8 record during the three-year stretch including a school-record 32 wins during the 1958-59 season.
The Tigers won their first of three championships in 1957 when the team beat South East Oklahoma, 92-73. TSU went on to defeat their next to opponents in the championship game by double-digits as well.
Barnett was named MVP of the National Championship for his performances in the 1958 and 1959 games.
In one record-setting game during the 1958-59 season, the Tigers battled in-state foe Knoxville College. TSU scored an all-time high of 150 points in the contest and won by a record 92 points.
In three seasons, the team scored over 100 points 26 times thanks to McLendon's fast paced style that revolutionized the game of basketball.
McLendon ended his TSU career after the third championship and he is now a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

Stepping into the ring at Madison Square Garden earlier this month, Tammy Lynn Sytch made what she calls "the Sunny switch."
"It's weird, it's like I turn on a switch and become somebody else," Sytch recently told SLAM! Wrestling from her home in New Jersey. Hot on the heels of her return to Madison Square Garden -- refereeing a 6-Diva tag team match that included The Bellas, Gail Kim, and Eve Torres -- Sunny will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this weekend in Atlanta.
It was late one evening back in January when Sytch received the call from WWE Executive Vice-President of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis, telling her to turn on RAW. "I already had it on while I was packing for my trip to Mexico, when all of a sudden the announcement of Shawn Michaels going into the hall of fame comes on," recalled Sytch. "I said to Johnny Ace, 'That's great! Good for him, he deserves it,' as I acted happier than a pig in poop.
"Then Johnny Ace goes, 'Well, Vince [McMahon] and I were talking and we'd like you to be the second inductee.' I paused, and then said, 'You're s**ttin' me right?' Then he says, 'No, I'm not s**ttin' you.' So of course I started crying and shaking and freaking out. I was thinking to myself, 'Oh my God, I'm only 38, and usually the people who go into the Hall of Fame are at least 50, or dead by the time they get inducted. All I could think was, 'Holy crap, this is awesome!'"
It was also Johnny Ace who called Sytch earlier this month, inviting her to work Madison Square Garden on short notice. "I was at the gym when my phone rang, and the number said Stamford, Connecticut," said Sytch. "And the only people that ever call from Stamford are the WWE. So I picked up the call and Johnny Ace said, 'Hey, do you want to work the Garden on Saturday night, refereeing the girls' match?' I said, 'Do I want to work the Garden? What kind of question is that? Of course -- fantastic!'"
"So I looked at myself and thought, 'Ok, I've got three days to get ready. I'm pale as a ghost and half of my hair extensions have fallen out. So on Friday, I went shopping for ref's clothes, got my hair done, and got a spray tan. It was crazy!
"On Saturday, a stretch limo arrived at my house to pick me up and bring me into the city. When I got there, I had so much anxious energy that I was bouncing off the walls. Just before the match, I'm at the curtain when all the girls go out to the ring, and Stephanie McMahon comes over and said, 'Why are you so nervous? This is old hat for you.' And I said, 'Yeah, but it's been like 13 years since I worked this building.' Well, as soon as my music hit I made the Sunny switch, and every little bit of nervousness left my body, and I went out there and did my thing.
"It all felt like I never left, and it was just so freakin' cool!"
Often hailed as "the first Diva in WWE history," Sytch's popularity soared in 1996 when her bikini issue of RAW Magazine sold in record-breaking quantities, while winning two Slammy Awards (including Best Buns). That same year, Sunny was deemed the most downloaded woman in the world by America Online.
In the years to come, Sunny would manage both the Smokin' Gunns and the Godwinns to the WWE World Tag Team Championships, garnering her reputation as not only a loathed villain, but one of the hottest personalities in WWE.
Regardless, Sytch was unsure of how the fans would respond when she recently walked through the curtain at Madison Square Garden, after all these years. "I was worried that all the kids in the crowd wouldn't know who I am, as I was already gone (from WWE) by the time they were born," said Sytch. "But I was thrilled to see it was an old school crowd, with a mix of kids of all ages who were chanting my name and reaching over the railing wanting to slap my hand. And that was really cool. You could see a whole new crop of young fans out there, going nuts like they did back in 1997. It was really nice, and it took me back."
It was back in 1995 when Sytch first signed with the WWE, working initially as a broadcast correspondent, before taking on the role of manager to real-life boyfriend Chris Candido. Known as the Bodydonnas, they became Sunny and Skip, who later teamed with brother Zip (Tom Pritchard) to win the WWE World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania XII.
"And Joe (Animal) and Mike (Hawk) were fantastic guys," she added. "Joe to this day is one of my best friends, and he's been like a big brother to me. And I tell ya, the first time I walked down to the ring with them, and their music hits -- what a rush! It truly is a rush working with the Road Warriors. You get a chill over your entire body, and it's like one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life."
Sytch said she was thrilled to hear that the Road Warriors, along with Paul Ellering, will be part of the WWE Hall of Fame's Class of 2011. "How cool is that to be in the same class as one of my tag teams?" said Sytch with obvious pride. "When they told me that, I was just so happy. This is a really cool class for me to be in."
Along with old friends like Road Warrior Animal and Shawn Michaels, Sytch said she is looking forward to reconnecting with fellow WWE Hall of Fame inductee Abdullah the Butcher. "I love Abby!" said Sytch. "The very first show I ever worked, I was 17 and just out of high school, and Abby was on the show. It was a stacked house in Philadelphia at the Civic Centre. Abby was hanging out in the back talking to Nancy Benoit, and when I met him, he was such sweet, nice man.
"Though he's never been in a WWE ring, I do believe he deserves to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Because think about it, he's the hardcore original along with The Sheik, who were doing hardcore, crazy stuff way before anybody else. And anybody who has gone the hardcore way, like Sabu or Axl Rotten or Balls Mahoney, knows that Abby was the originator. Abby has my utmost respect. I've always loved the man. I've always been very respectful to my elders, and I think he could sense that right away."
"I've always gotten along with everyone, for the most part," Sytch added. "I was raised a tomboy, so I've always related better with guys than girls, and I think all the guys could sense that. They knew they didn't have to hide things around me, or watch their language, because they knew that I was just one of the guys."
Sytch anticipates WrestleMania weekend will be a blast, and that she'll be filled with emotion when she steps up onstage to take her place in the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2011. "I already know that I'm going to totally screw up my speech," Sytch said with a laugh. "That's 100 percent a given. As Sunny, if you give me a microphone and tell me to go out to the ring and cut a promo, no problem. But I've got to get up there and speak from the heart. It's going to be 100 per cent real -- not a work, not a gimmick, not an angle.
"And that's how I know I won't be able to keep it together," she concluded, her voice full of emotion. "Because that's not going to be Sunny up on that stage talking. It's going to be Tammy talking. You know how I told you about that Sunny switch? Well, Tammy screws up a lot. Sunny never does. So without the Sunny switch turned on, I'm going to lose it and cry. Wish me luck."

|CNPS20LQ Ultimate Liquid CPU Cooler
Zalman CNPS20LQ Ultimate Liquid CPU Cooler- Replaced by the Zalman LQ315 Blue LED Ultimate Liquid CPU Cooler
Zalman's CNPS20LQ is their first sealed liquid water cooler that offers excellent performance for Intel and AMD's hottest CPUs.
Zalman have now made their most accessible watercooling product yet. The CNPS20LQ is a factory-sealed CPU liquid cooler, meaning no more maintenance - just a lifetime of the highest efficiency cooling and extremely low running noise.
- Sealed Watercooling CPU Cooler
- Excellent performance
- Quiet 120mm PWM fan supplied
- Integrated pump
- Compatible with Intel LGA2011/1155/1156/1366 and AMD FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2
The CNPS20LQ Liquid CPU cooler is fully assembled, factory filled and sealed, making it as easy to install as an air cooler and chassis fan. Factory sealing eliminates the extra user maintenance common with component-built liquid cooling systems. The pump is built into the CPU block and is powered by a 3-pin fan header. The radiator can accommodate two 120mm fans (one supplied) for ultimate performance.
Please note: When the CNPS20LQ pump is running at full voltage (12V) it can make a slight ticking noise. We have found that this can be alleviated by reducing its running voltage down to around 7 volts by using an RC56 in-line resistor cable or two, and cooling performance is not significantly affected. Please consider ordering this resistor along with the CNPS20LQ if PC running noise is a strong consideration.

From TmZ.com:
The New York Jets DESTROYED any chance Tim Tebow had to be a successful QB in the NFL ... this according to NY Giants co-owner Steve Tisch.AW SNAP!!!!!
"I think him going from the Broncos to the Jets was not in anybody's best interest," Tisch told TMZ on his way out of Dan Tana's in L.A. Sunday night.
"Had another team picked him up after the Broncos, maybe he'd have a career."
So where will Tim end up? Tisch says Timmy should ignore the offers from the Lingerie Football League and focus on getting back into the NFL ... at least for now.

Guitarist Aaron Moreland and harpist/vocalist Dustin Arbuckle first met at an open-mic in Wichita, Kansas back in 2001. The musicians both shared an affinity for Delta blues and quickly joined forces to form the eponymous duo Moreland & Arbuckle. Since their fateful meeting, the pair has released numerous records exploring American roots music, merging genres such as Delta blues, folk, rock, traditional country, and soul to create their unique sound. They have toured with legendary acts ZZ Top, George Thorogood, and Buddy Guy and have since added drummer Kendall Newby to the band.
Their latest record, 7 Cities, is a concept album built around the story of the Spanish conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado and his quest to discover Quivira, one of the mythical Seven Cities of Gold, in the Kansas plains, not far from where the band calls home. The album was released on May 17 in Europe and is set to drop on July 30 in the U.S. "It's definitely our best record ever," the band exclaims on their webpage. "We couldn't be more excited for all of you to soon hear it!" The band has a slew of tour dates coming up across the U.S. and Europe, but you can see the band for free at World Cafe Live for an exclusive Free at Noon Performance on August 2.

Trouble with Bears in Tahoe and a Kings Arena Update The Tahoe community of Incline Village has a problem with bears that's as complex as they come. Hungry bears preparing for hibernation are breaking into trash containers, homes and cars looking for food but residents are afraid to call the Nevada Department of Wildlife for help. The reason, is bear advocates. They equate a call to the NDOW with a bear death sentence. But the NDOW and bear advocates both agree that bear proof trash containers can help the problem in Incline Village. The trouble is, Incline Villagers aren't convinced paying for new trash containers will solve the problem. The Incline Village General Improvement District Board of Trustees is hearing the issue this Wednesday night (Oct 30th). We'll talk about it with Capital Public Radio reporter Ky Plaskon.
Then, we'll turn our attention to Sacramento where discussions about what a proposed downtown arena for the Kings would look like. It's before the Sac City Council tonight and we'll get an update from the Sacramento Bee's Ryan Lillis.

Elk Grove Animal Shelter The City of Elk Grove nearly tripled in population since 2000, and with that expansion comes growing pains. The Sacramento Society for Pets Association decided it could no longer serve as the city's animal shelter, citing the sheer number of animals coming from Elk Grove – about 3,000 a year. Last week, the Elk Grove City Council decided to start contracting its animal control services through Sacramento County. And that decision has animal advocates upset. They say the already-underfunded, overcrowded county shelter won't have the resources to avoid euthanizing many of the animals coming from Elk Grove. Some people are even advocating Elk Grove's first animal shelter as an answer to the problem. Joining us to discuss the issue is Elk Grove Animal Control Supervisor Maureen McCann and Elk Grove veterinarian Kelly Byam, who's pushing the city to build an animal shelter. For more information on the Elk Grove animal shelter like the Elk Grove Needs an Animal Shelter Facebook page.

It's been quite some time since Fifty Shades of Grey took the country by storm, so fans of the book miiiight be itching for something new. Well, the book they've been waiting for comes out Tuesday, February 12 (which also happens to be Fat Tuesday and my fiance's birthday, so it's obviously gonna be an awesome day). Like E.L. James' runaway hit, it started out as Twilight fan fiction, had a previous title (The Office), is being published under a pseudonym (Christina Lauren), and is about a successful dominant guy (a businessman) and his sexy younger lady prey (his intern). It's called Beautiful Bastard and was written by lady duo Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. And it sounds like it's shaping up to really be the next Fifty Shades.
I know, I know. We've heard that a million times. But this time, it sounds legit ... Need proof? Okay!
The Hollywood Reporter has pubbed a sneak peek of the book's whole first chapter, and here are a few tease-y excerpts:
He had a face that any male model would kill for and the most incredible hair I've ever seen on a man. Freshly fucked hair. That's what the girls downstairs called it, and according to them, it earned its title. The image of him wiping his chest with his shirt was forever burned into my brain.
A bit of cheese, sure, but then it quickly gets steam-arific and seriously intriguing. And the writing's not nearly as cringe-worthy as E.L. James. Consider this:
The part of me that hated him was dissolving like sugar on my tongue, and the part that wanted everything he had to give me was growing, hot and demanding.
And ...
I could feel his smile press into the back of my neck, and when he opened his mouth and pressed his teeth to my skin, I was done for.
Those are just a few little teasers of the hotness in Beautiful Bastard has to offer. And uh, yeah, the hotness? It's right off the bat. No needing to read hundreds of pages before gettin' to the "dirty parts." For that reason alone, consider me sold.
So, yeah, if erotica is your thing -- and come on, these days, it's perfectly okay to admit that it is -- judging from the first chapter, Beautiful Bastard is going to be a total must-read. And quite likely the next big thing.
Intrigued? Think you'll read Beautiful Bastard?

Slowey, Johnson make Marlins' Opening Day roster
MIAMI -- Versatility and compatibility were weighed heavily in putting together the final pieces of the Marlins' Opening Day roster.
The more you can do, the better, especially in the National League, where substitutions occur more regularly than its American League counterpart.
MIAMI -- Versatility and compatibility were weighed heavily in putting together the final pieces of the Marlins' Opening Day roster.
The more you can do, the better, especially in the National League, where substitutions occur more regularly than its American League counterpart.
Secondly, character mattered. The team sought players who get along and are willing to pull together. Their offseason acquistions all have experienced winning, and they are respected for their professionalism.
The Marlins aren't fielding a squad loaded with established superstars, so they are banking on a collective effort. Still, they feel they have plenty of talent, but it's no secret they are built around strong pitching, power-hitting right fielder Giancarlo Stanton and an unselfish supporting cast.
After six weeks of evaluating and analyzing, the Marlins on Sunday afternoon announced the 25 who will line up for Opening Day on Monday night at 7:05 p.m. ET against the Rockies at Marlins Park.
There are no surprises.
Outfielder Reed Johnson and pitcher Kevin Slowey, a couple of non-roster invitees, each had their contracts selected. To make roster room, outfielder Brian Bogusevic was designated for assignment.
As expected, infielders Rafael Furcal (strained left hamstring) and Ed Lucas (broken left hand) were placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Furcal's DL assignment is retroactive to March 21, meaning the earliest he is eligible to be reinstated is Saturday. Lucas is retroactive to March 28, but he is expected to miss four to six weeks.
The subtraction of Bogusevic opened a 40-man roster spot for Johnson.
By Sunday's 3 p.m. ET deadline to set the roster, reliever Michael Brady was designated for assignment, creating an opening for Slowey.
Mike Redmond, entering his second season as manager, feels he has much more to work with compared to a year ago, when a rookie-filled roster finished 62-100.
"We've got more pieces this year," Redmond said. "We've got way more options."
For many who endured the hardships of the second-worst record in team history, they gained a valuable year of experience.
The hope for a better year is based on the pitching.
Jose Fernandez, fresh off being the NL Rookie of the Year Award winner, will take the mound in the opener against the Rockies, who are going with lefty Jorge De La Rosa.
"I love our pitching and I love the make-up of our ballclub," Redmond said.
When Spring Training opened, Miami had 68 in camp. Reaching the final 25 required some tough decisions. The competition was stiff, especially for the fifth starter, a few bullpen openings, as well as the utility infield role.
What the organization now enjoys is more depth than had been in camp in a number of years. It was needed, especially at second base.
Furcal, the 36-year-old who has been part of 12 playoff teams in his 14-year career, strained his hamstring on March 15. Losing the veteran is a tough blow, but it was cushioned by the fact Derek Dietrich stepped up with a strong Spring Training. Jeff Baker is a right-handed-hitting option with big league experience.
Initially, Lucas made the club as the utility infielder. But on Thursday, the day he was informed he was on the club, he was the victim of bad luck. The 31-year-old was struck on the back of his left hand by a pitch vs. the Cardinals. The impact caused a non-displaced fracture, which will require four to six weeks of recovery.
Donovan Solano, who was optioned last Thursday to Triple-A New Orleans, ended up being reinstated on Friday to fill Lucas' role
As expected, Miami will carry 12 pitchers and 13 position players.
The rotation features Fernandez, Nathan Eovaldi, Henderson Alvarez, Jacob Turner and Tom Koehler. In the bullpen will be closer Steve Cishek, A.J. Ramos, Carlos Marmol, Mike Dunn, Dan Jennings, Brad Hand and Slowey.
The regulars are: Jarrod Saltalamacchia (catcher), Garrett Jones (first base), Dietrich (second base), Adeiny Hechavarria (shortstop), Casey McGehee (third base), Christian Yelich (left field), Marcell Ozuna (center field) and Stanton (right field). The bench features Jeff Mathis, Greg Dobbs, Baker, Johnson and Solano.
Saltalamacchia, McGehee, Baker and Jones were free-agent additions the club hopes boosts an offense that ranked last in runs scored in the Majors a year ago.
"We have definitely strengthened our lineup with the guys we've brought in," Redmond said. "Now, we've got some established big league hitters. I think that benefits everyone.
"Our lineup is a lot deeper. We've got guys who have been through lots of Major League seasons -- veterans, guys who have been around. I think we're going to be better offensively."
Hechavarria is being closely monitored, as he missed the final week of Spring Training with a tight groin.
A year ago, the Marlins not only were extremely young, they also entered the year with some devastating injuries. They opened with starting pitchers Eovaldi and Alvarez on the disabled list, and first baseman Logan Morrison also started off on the DL. Injuries to key players mounted, especially in the first half. Another crushing blow came in late April, when Stanton also went down with a hamstring strain.
"We made the most of what we had last year, but we were pretty thin out there," Redmond said. "We didn't have a lot of depth. We had a lot of role players."

Ida Kar Bohemian Photographer, 1908 – 1974 has just opened at the National Portrait Gallery and runs until 19 June. Although I missed the press view last week, there's plenty of time to see the show and get familiar with Kar's work as I know little of it. Tomorrow, the Association of Photographers announces the judges for three of its competitions and on Wednesday night the winner and runners up for the Student Photographer of the Year 2010. And finally, j'arrive. I'm there at 100 women photographers featured in Hotshoe magazine and space for so many more.
This will be the first museum exhibition for 50 years devoted to Ida Kar and includes nearly 100 photographs, some not previously exhibited.
This exhibition of portraits by the twentieth-century pioneering photographer Ida Kar "highlights the crucial role played by this key woman photographer at the heart of the creative avant-garde. With striking portraits of artists such as Henry Moore, Georges Braque, Gino Severini and Bridget Riley, and writers such as Iris Murdoch and Jean-Paul Sartre, this exhibition offers a fascinating insight into the cultural life of post-war Britain and an opportunity to see iconic works, and others not previously exhibited".
"Russian-born, of Armenian heritage, Ida Kar (1908–74) was instrumental in encouraging the acceptance of photography as a fine art when, in 1960, she became the first photographer to be honoured with a major retrospective in London, at the Whitechapel Art Gallery. She later continued to document conceptualist artists such as Gustav Metzger and John Latham and life in Cuba and Moscow. Featuring unseen archive material, this reappraisal provides a valuable record of the international art world as documented by Kar over three decades while literary subjects exhibited include Doris Lessing, Colin MacInnes and T S Eliot."

Illinois a Leader in Wind Energy
Illinois is among the U-S leaders in wind projects and the facts point to that both locally and statewide.
Illinois led the nation in the number of wind turbines installed in 2011. The American Wind Eneruy Association reports the state was also number two in increasing its wind capacity, with 692 megawatts. Illinois is now rated fourth in the nation with 3,000 megawatts of wind generation capacity in use.
In Vermilion County, a second wind project has already cleared the County Board's Structural Safety Committee. The proposed 'Hoopeston Wind Project' is headed to the full county board for a vote February 14th. GDF SUEZ Energy North America, Inc. of Houston, Texas has proposed placing 43 wind turbines across northern Vermilion County from just north of Rossville toward Rankin.

Sprockets form the link between shafts and chains. They must not only ensure a reliable shaft/hub connection with shafts of different geometries but their tooth profile must be ideally matched to the chain used. This is the only way to ensure reliable operation with low wear and low noise. Chains of different designs (e.g. roller, sleeve or toothed chain) and pitch (e.g. 6,35mm, 8mm, 9,525mm) as well as single and duplex chains are possible. In the selection of material and production process for the sprockets, account must be taken of the load occurring, the geometry to be achieved and cost-effectiveness. In principle, a distinction is drawn between the following types:
