Jeff: The Rodale Institute's
What methods and equipment do
you use to spread hay seed?
Posted July 2, 2004
What Jeff brings to the table
Jeff Moyer, who's been the farm manager
here at the 333-acre Rodale Institute research
farm for more than a quarter of a century, receives
lots of mail from farmers just like you asking
for advice. Jeff's hands-in-the-dirt experience
over the past 26 years has run the gamut from
refining the farm's cover cropping and crop rotation
systems (including managing 270 acres in a rotation
of corn, small grains, hay, and edible soy beans
for a Japanese market) to overseeing The Rodale
Institue Farming Systems Trial®, the world's
longest running side-by-side comparison of organic
and conventional agriculture. We thought it would
be fun and informative to share some of these
farmer-to-farmer exchanges, and Jeff's practical
wisdom, with our NewFarm.org readers … and
we'll be doing it on a regular basis.
Got a question of your own? Send it to Jeff at:
I am about to purchase a 76-acre lot and I
am hoping to grow hay. Every step in the haying process
I understand, but what methods do you use to spread so much
seed around? Also, what equipment do I need to complete
the seeding task? If you could give me some tips and hints
that would be great.
P.S.—I live in the Northwest.
Alex Schumer
It sounds like you're off and running. Normally, we
plant hay in a rotation with other crops such as grain.
In this situation, we plant the hay seed into a nurse crop
of winter wheat or spring oats. In an organic situation,
this nurse crop helps eliminate weed pressure on the slowly
germinating hay.
You can direct seed the hay seed in the spring,
however managing the weeds that germinate and grow faster
than the hay will be challenging. Hay direct seeded without
a nurse crop usually does better if planted in mid-August,
since most of the weeds that germinate then will be annuals
that, at least for us in the Northeast, die with the first
hard frost while the hay grows on.
In order to sow the seed, you could use a
grain drill. This is the same type of planter you would
use to plant small grains like wheat, oats, rye, or barley,
only with a "grass box" attachment that will
handle the very small seeds that make up most hay crops.
Using a grain drill with a set of packer wheels in the rear
will help with establishment.
You can also broadcast the seed with any of
the many broadcast seeders available; however you should
then run over the seeded area with a packer harrow or roller
to get the seed in good contact with the soil. On our farm,
we broadcast the hay seed into winter wheat in late winter
or early spring and let the freezing and thawing action
of the soil pull the seed into the ground.
Hope this helps. If you need more information,
let me know. And be sure to write back and let me know what
you eventually do and how it turns out.
P.S.—I suggest you contact your local
county extension agent or check in a copy of your state's
agronomy guide to see what they recommend for conventional
growers. The timing and dates for planting will be the same
for organic or conventional. This will at least be a starting
point for you to compare to my recommendations.
Have some questions to Ask Jeff? E-mail him directly
at email@example.com.

When someone is facing a DUI charge in Knoxville, Tennessee, they are frequently under a lot of stress concerning the immediate impact. The immediate impact of the charge on your job, your finances, your family, and your social life are readily apparent. Still, a lot of people don't realize the full extent of the impact of a DUI charge on various aspects of their lives. A DUI could end up on your criminal record. It could cause you to lose your driver's license and/or end up with an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. It could result in high fines, the necessity of taking DUI classes, and higher insurance rates or lost coverage. It could also prevent you from being able to start a new career, continue in your present career, join the military, or even travel to another country. Today, we're going to take a closer look at the different ways that a DUI in Knoxville, Tennessee, could change your life.
Your Criminal Record and Career Opportunities with a Knoxville, Tennessee, DUI Charge
When you get a DUI conviction in Knoxville, Tennessee, you are going to have this on your criminal record, which could prevent you from achieving your future career goals. Most companies perform background checks on potential new hires, and this is where your criminal record is going to be particularly relevant to your life and goals. There are some jobs that you will no longer be eligible for with a DUI on your record. Following are just a few examples of occupations where you may not be able to be employed if you have ever been convicted of a DUI in Knoxville, Tennessee:
- Police Officer
- Firefighter
- Teacher
- Nurse
- CDL Commercial Vehicle Driver
- Government Employee
Your Dreams of Travel and Vacation Plans with Knoxville, Tennessee, DUI Charge
One frequently overlooked consequence of a DUI in Knoxville, Tennessee, is the impact on your dreams of travel and your vacation plans. Many people love to travel or hope to travel later in life. When facing a DUI charge, however, it may never even occur to them that their dreams of international travel are on the line. If you plan to immigrate to another country, then this too could be off limits with a DUI conviction. Some countries will not allow anyone with any kind of criminal record to enter. Following are the countries with the strictest policies prohibiting persons with a criminal record from entering:
- United States
- United Kingdom
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Countries in the European Union
Your Plans to Serve in the Military with a Knoxville, Tennessee, DUI Charge
If you have any plans to serve in the Army, the Marines, the Navy, or the US Air Force, these plans could quickly be derailed by a Knoxville, Tennessee, DUI conviction. If you are in the military at the time of your arrest, then the details of your arrest must be closely inspected by a Knoxville, Tennessee, DUI attorney to assess the impact of the charges on your military career. Many people don't realize that their military careers will be affected by a DUI that happens while on leave or between deployments. Individuals who are convicted of such crimes are often deemed unfit to handle leadership and unfit to represent the armed services of the United States. Even if it is your first offense, it could change the trajectory of your military career or completely end it.
Your Auto Insurance Rates with a Knoxville, Tennessee, DUI Charge
If you are lucky, you have no plans to travel or join the military, and if your career is not affected by a DUI conviction, then you will still have the long-term consequence of a DUI on your auto insurance rates. Having a DUI conviction on your record will cause your auto insurance policy rates to be raised significantly, even if it is your first DUI. If you have multiple DUI convictions, then the effect on your auto insurance rates will be even worse, assuming you are able to get your license back. For many people in Knoxville, Tennessee, there is almost no point in having a license or a vehicle, because they can't afford the auto insurance rates that they must pay for in order to drive legally. Some auto insurance companies will make you pay a much higher rate for a period of five years, without further DUI charges, before lowering the rate again. In the meantime, your rates could be thousands of dollars more each year for the same auto insurance coverage, because you are a high-risk driver.
Another important thing to be aware of with a DUI charge is that if you caused any damages in an auto accident with another driver, your auto insurance policy may refuse to cover those damages. You could end up facing the expenses of paying the damages caused to other vehicles in a DUI auto accident yourself. Adding up all of the potential consequences of a DUI conviction starts to get expensive.
Contact Barnes Law to Protect Yourself from the Impact of a Knoxville, Tennessee, DUI
Because the impact of a Knoxville, Tennessee, DUI conviction can be so costly and life-altering, it is important to consult with a skilled DUI attorney, like those at Barnes Law. There are cases where it is in your best interests to accept a plea deal, but if you want to avoid the impact of a DUI conviction, then this may not be your best option. You need to protect your career, your future plans, and your ability to stay mobile on the road. Contact Barnes Law to schedule a free consultation and learn more about your options for fighting a DUI charge in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) contains' provisions to lower individual health insurance premiums for those with household incomes below 400% of the federal poverty line (FPL). Starting in 2014 there will be significant health insurance subsidies provided under PPACA for people purchasing individual health insurance coverage through the new public health insurance exchanges.
New rules give states the option of extending coverage in Medicaid to most people with incomes under 133% of the FPL. For households with higher incomes (up to 400% of the FPL), PPACA will provide tax subsidies, reducing premium costs. These tax subsidies will begin in 2014.
Households with income between 100% and 400% of the FPL who purchase coverage through a state health insurance exchange are eligible for a tax subsidy to reduce the cost of their coverage. In states without expanded Medicaid coverage, people with incomes less than 100% of poverty will not be eligible for exchange subsidies, while those with incomes at or above the FPL will be.
Households offered coverage through an employer are also not eligible for premium tax subsidies unless the employer plan does not offer "qualified" coverage or unless a household's share of the premium for their employer's group health insurance plan exceeds 9.5% of their income.
The amount of the premium subsidy that a household will receive is based on the premium for the second lowest cost "silver plan" in the individual state health insurance exchange. The silver plan provides the essential benefits as defined by the PPACA. The amount of the subsidy varies with income where the premium a household would have to pay for the second lowest cost silver plan is capped as a percentage of their income as follows:
Income Level Premium as a Percent of Income
Min Income Max Income Min Premium Cap Max Premium
(% of FPL) (% of FPL) (% of Income) (% of Income)
0% 133% 0% 2%
133% 150% 3% 4%
150% 200% 4% 6.3%
200% 250% 6.3% 8.05%
250% 300% 8.05% 9.5%
300% 400% 9.5% 9.5%
The Federal Poverty Level (FPL) was $11,170 for an individual and $23,050 for a family of four through early 2012.
For a single person, here's actual income levels and premiums based on the 2012 FPL:
Min Income Max Incom Min Premium Cap Max Premium Cap
(Annual) (Annual) (Monthly) (Monthly)
$11,170.00 $14,856.10 $0.00 $24.76
$14,856.10 $16,755.00 $37.14 $55.85
$16,755.00 $22,340.00 $55.85 $117.29
$22,340.00 $27,925.00 $117.29 $187.33
$27,925.00 $33,510.00 $187.33 $265.29
$33,510.00 $44,680.00 $265.29 $353.72
For a family of 4, here's the actual income levels and premiums based on the 2012 FPL:
Min Income Max Income Min Premium Cap Max Premium Cap
(Annual) (Annual) (Monthly) (Monthly)
$23,050.00 $30,656.50 $0.00 $51.09
$30,656.50 $34,575.00 $76.64 $115.25
$34,575.00 $46,100.00 $115.25 $242.03
$46,100.00 $57,625.00 $242.03 $386.57
$57,625.00 $69,150.00 $386.57 $547.44
$69,150.00 $92,200.00 $547.44 $729.92
A person or household that wants to purchase a plan more expensive (than the second lowest cost silver plan) would have to pay the full difference between the cost of the second lowest cost silver plan and the plan that they wish to purchase.
Example – Steve, a 45-Year-Old Single: He has as an annual income that is 250% of the FPL ($27,925 in 2012). Let's assume the cost of the second lowest cost silver plan in Steve's state individual health insurance exchange is $5,733 per year (or $477.75 per month). Since Steve is purchasing coverage in the individual health insurance exchange, Steve would not be required to pay more than 8.05% of income, or $2,248 per year (that's $187.33 per month), to enroll in the second lowest cost silver plan. The tax subsidy available to Steve would be $3,485 ($5,733 premium minus the $2,248 cap on what Steve is required to pay).
Premium tax subsidies are both refundable and advanceable. A refundable tax subsidy is one that is available to a person even if he or she has no tax liability. An advanceable tax subsidy allows a person to receive assistance at the time that they purchase insurance (i.e. in advance) rather than waiting to be reimbursed after they file their annual income tax return.

UAE's Rameez Shahzad wants to pursue a coaching career once he retires from cricket after completing a course in England.
The batsman attained the ECB's Level 2 coaching qualification after attending the course in the summer where he played club cricket for Philadelphia in the Durham Cricket League.
Having passed the required tests, Shahzad is keen to complete the Level 3 course in the future and pass on his experience in a coaching capacity when he finally lays down the bat.
"Once I have finished with cricket, I've decided that I want to do coaching," the 30-year-old said. "That is why I wanted to do this course and hopefully next year I can return and do my Level 3 course."
Shahzad's father Altaf, a member of the UAE team that featured at the 1996 World Cup, is now coaching youngsters in the country.
And Shahzad is keen to follow in his father's footsteps.
"My father coaches at his academy and would love to help him. At the same time, I also want to be part of a top coaching team with professional set-up. It's something I want to aim for."
Shahzad managed to complete the course in between matches for Philadelphia. He said it was an eye-opener on what was needed when it came to coaching.
"The course was really good because it taught you the basics but I know it will be harder to get the Level 3 qualification," he added.
"I had to attend four or five days and then work with youngsters for two months before returning to complete the tests. It was really exciting to do this."

A while back, I purchased some eyeshadows from the Ignis Antiquita collection from Aromaleigh. There's something about this collection that speaks to me.
I love the concept, first of all. A collection based on badass women from history? Yes please!
Secondly, I love the colors. They are unique and beautiful, but still very wearable. While some colors are a bit more outrageous than others, all are completely wearable. That's the magic of it. No matter what color you pick up, it's completely wearable.
For this look, I picked up Boudicca to start. Honestly, this wasn't a favorite color when I initially swatched this collection, but I'm quickly learning my lesson. At first glance, this color isn't anything super crazy special. But in real life, it's so special! It reminds me of Mother of Dragons by Shiro. One of those colors you know is beautiful, but you really don't know how beautiful until you actually use it.
I can't believe that I almost completely overlooked this color! I love it!

Long Landing Page again in the trend. Marketers have begun to realize that short landing light is not as effective from the point of view of conversion than the long version. Indeed, a large number of useful text is a compelling motivating factor. Long landing pages in many cases are more conversion. But like a «sheet» to organize content?
What are the essential components of structuring a long landing page that will maximize conversion? For example, the landing page on the topic of «Marketing techniques» may consist of 30 thousand words. Will it be effective? So the 6 main elements of the landing page, located in the order they appear when scrolling promo pages.
1. The title of the landing page
This is the most noticeable and important detail landing pages (long and short). The title sells them, and he must always be at the top of the landing page.
The size of the header is crucial. The first premise must be greater than all the other fonts on the landing page. But this does not mean that the height of the font of the title is fundamental. Its content is equally important. If not more.
And the reason is simple. Often, the main idea of an informative and meaningful title has stronger effect than its location on the page. The title of the Landing Page, from which it is clear what will be discussed, performs its tasks by 100%. After all, if the user will have the ability to immediately see and read the main thesis of the page (i.e. your title), it will increase the level of trust to all that is written below. And, perhaps, will lead to a rapid decision.
If the visitor of the page header doesn't understand what's expected of him, he find it difficult to agree with your suggestion… And it may have negative consequences.
First and foremost, test your headlines for your Landing Page. And then move on to the next items.
This example consists of two landing pages with different contents, including different meanings of headlines. Page And had a stable conversion of the 3%.
By properly selected header-explanations in example B the conversion of the landing page increased to 18.7%.
Remember, the title creates the first impression about the page. It is your only chance to interest the user enough to stay on the page and read the other arguments… And made the order.
2. Subtitle
Everyone, even the most successful title should be accompanied by subtitle. The second is needed to clarify the first. He seems convex all the advantages of a Central message. The subtitle needs to stand under the main header. They work great in pairs.
3. Image
Each long landing page needs an image. Images or photos should be placed in the upper part of the landing page. However, again, all individually and requires A/B testing. First and foremost, you should test the page without images and with him. By the way, the picture can indicate where to look.
In the above example, the picture of a man personifiziert landing page and allows you to quickly establish contact with the user. Although most test selling pages confirms the effectiveness of the placement of ONE object on the left side of the screen, this version of the landing page does not fit into the rules and with the «wrong» position shows the maximum conversion.
The landing page can decorate and fullscreen image — from edge to edge of the page. Long landing pages are best suited for this. Thus, the picture fills the screen and becomes the main argument to motivate visitors to action.
4. Video on landing page
A powerful tool to increase conversion Landing Page can be a video. Well filmed movie or video presentation increases the ratio of CTR. However, this element should not be the only on the landing page. So, landing with only one video have lower conversion rates. To the conversion of growing up, the video should complement the contents.
The best place for an embedded video above the line under which the page is no longer visible. That is, getting on the landing page, the user needs to be able to click on Play (of course, if your video will not play automatically).
5. A brief summary (persuasive arguments)
The above are just some of the working elements of the landing page. But none of them makes the target/landing page so long.
What to place at the point, followed by a sequel? Again, on the border with the second page should not be anything excessive. Here you should explain what the product or service you represent and what it is unique. Just 3-5 sentences. Persuasive arguments lead to a purchase.
6. A call to action
Place the CTA-element (button, subscription form, etc.) as high as possible, directly on the first screen. You definitely will drop the users who want to push the button immediately. You cannot miss this opportunity. Give customers a tool to make the purchase without hesitation.
Scrollable landing page the Landing Page is not just a lot of content which is important. It is also working elements, properly filed the semantic units that overlap all the objections of the buyer, contributing to increase conversions.

Sitting on air springs that emit very little low-speed 'sproing', the Sport benefits from its hefty kerb weight at urban speeds, its body easing away surface imperfections and potholes in impressive fashion.
Not quite so impressive, perhaps, as its bigger Range Rover brother, but little worse, and considerably better than most of the competition.
As standard, base-powered Sports come with 19-inch alloy wheels, but even those fitted with the optional 20-inch alloys are a pleasure to ride in.
Mercedes-Benz GLE is similarly absorbent, but the Sport retains more composure at speed. You can discount most of the others; a Porsche Cayenne, for example, gets nowhere near the Sport's level of ride comfort.
What the Cayenne does deliver, albeit hardly surprisingly if you consider how much farther a Range Rover Sport ought to be able to travel off road, is superior fast-road and limit-handling characteristics.
The Sport offers instead more versatility, along with a greater breadth of purpose and abilities. The Sport is hardly slack when it comes to outright dynamics, though. It steers with pleasing weight and slickness and has a control of its body movements that's the equal of any large SUV other than a Cayenne or an X-series BMW.

Don't Make This Mistake in a Down Market
There are many mistakes we can make when we invest, the most major of which is to sit out the market.Most of the rest lead us to the conclusion to sell our portfolio and "wait for a better time to invest."
On a regular basis, I speak to people who sold out of the market in 2009 (when the S&P 500 was about 1000 vs. today's level of around 2700) and I wonder what influenced them to do something so destructive to their financial lives?
I think I've figured it out and honestly, it wasn't that hard. Talk to anyone who is sitting in cash and you'll find they know pretty much everything the financial media has said in the last week.
The financial media exist to make money and they do that by gaining and retaining eyeballs. If they can get you to watch, they can charge more for advertising and be more profitable.
That's it. That's the game.
Now, what do you think gets more people to watch: Telling us everything is great and the markets will survive whatever challenges are here today or telling us the markets are on the verge of total destruction because….blah, blah, blah?
Of course, negative news sells, tapping into the part of our humanity that pays more attention to danger than joy.
Getting sucked into the 24-hour market news cycle is about the worst thing you can do for your Financial Life, because the "news" they convey is and always has been tilted toward the negative.
To understand this better, take a look at the latest Optimistic Investor where I calculate the return of the "Last Dumb Buyer" who bought stocks in 2008, the last day before the market crashed.Care to guess her return through January 2, 2019?
It was nearly 100%!
Got a question? Fill out the form below and ask me anything about personal finance. I'll happily respond directly to you!

Too Much Defence
Shaun Wane's reaction after Wigan's defeat to Hull FC in Ladbrokes Challenge Cup semi final
Wigan lost 12-16 to Black and Whites
- Too much defence the key says Wane
Shaun Wane said the lack of possession killed his team after they lost out narrowly to Hull FC in the Challenge Cup semi-final.
Wigan led 6-2 at half-time through George Williams' try despite having had just 39% of the territory.
The first half defensive effort caught up with Wigan in the second half when tries from Steve Michaels and Fetuli Talanoa and goals from Marc Sneyd gave Hull a 16-8 lead.
Willie Isa's 71st minute try gave Wigan hope but Hull held out in the end.
Speaking to the BBC after the game, Wane said:
"We did that much defence because we turned the ball over at important times so when we did get the ball our attack wasn't crisp enough.
"When we did get into the final third we scored two tries and had another disallowed but we didn't really test them in the second half. The field position we had was poor so we didn't really give ourselves a chance to get a food hold in the game."
Despite the lack of ball Wane still felt his team could have won.
"We gave ourselves too much to do, we turned the ball over on play one and play two again but the desire the team showed was outstanding. It will help us further on in the year but this is very very tough to take because I thought Hull were there for the taking if we'd just been a bit smarter in certain areas of the field.
"It was a tough game, Hull are big and we're small compared to them but my team has a lot of desire, a lot of toughness. The players are as bad as I ever seen them in the changing rooms, they're devastated because we feel that we could have got something out of that today but in the end it wasn't enough."
Wane also praised Hull and wished them well for the final.
"Hull were the best team, they deserve to be at Wembley. They've been good all year and all the best to them."

Nick Alexander Woodie Collection
13 August 2009
Lot 149
1949 Mercury Station Wagon
- Chassis no. 9CM82680
Sold for $143,000
The all-new 1949 Fords were designed by a team headed by outside consultant George Walker. However, there had been competing company proposals from the in-house studio of E.T. "Bob" Gregorie. Gregorie had penned a family of three similar cars in three different sizes: Ford, Mercury and Lincoln. When Walker's design was chosen for the low-priced car, the Gregorie proposal was bumped up a notch to become Mercury, Lincoln and Lincoln Cosmopolitan, respectively. A smaller version went into production at Ford France as the Vedette.
A much larger-looking car than the Ford, the new Mercury actually preserved its former 118-inch wheelbase. A stepped sculpture line ran from the front fenders, across the doors, back along the rear quarter and dipped down to the bumper. A version of the Ford station wagon body was married to the Mercury front clip, which required heat bending not just the laminated birch or maple trim but also the mahogany panels.
As in the past, there was but a single series of Mercurys, thus the new wagon was called simply "Mercury Station Wagon." Although the basic body was identical to the Ford's, Mercury received several upmarket features, like an all-leather interior (Ford had genuine leather only on the seat cushions), twin taillights, and directional signals. While Mercury shared Ford's new independent front suspension and open drive line, it departed from the common engine program of 1946-48 and received a larger, 255 cubic inch version of the flathead V8. The new car, introduced in April 1948, was well received. Model year sales expanded six fold from 1948, aided in part by a longer model year. In all, more than 300,000 were sold, just over 8,000 of them station wagons.
A sympathetically freshened original car, this 1949 Mercury station wagon has been repainted in the original Dakota Gray. The paint is excellent and has a deep shine. There are no flaws in the body contours. The original wood is excellently refinished, with high gloss varnish showing off the honey-colored grain. The doors shut well, but there is a slight misalignment on the passenger side when closed. The brightwork is all excellent. The glass, most of which has Lincoln script, shows some separation, and there is a chip in one of the sliders. A complete mechanical restoration was completed from the radiator to the gas tank by Alexander Restoration and included dual mufflers and tail pipes.
The seats are original dark green leather, and show considerable cracking. The original headliner is green artificial leather accented with rare narrow wooden bows seen mostly in early production cars. The black rubber floor mats are new. The dashboard exhibits incredible original woodgrain and excellent instruments. The steering wheel is also excellent. The car has a radio, heater, electric clock and factory turn signals.
The 8CM engine is nicely painted in green and is very clean, although the compartment is not over-detailed. The chassis and underbody are painted black, and are clean but not detailed. The car rolls on Firestone 7.10-15 blackwall tires, new in 1998, and the spare is carried on the tailgate under a metal cover.
Acquired by Nick Alexander in August 1997, the car received a Rouge Award from the Early Ford V8 Club in 2007 at Temecula, California. Currently showing just over 77,000 miles, it runs and drives well as evidenced by a recent roundtrip of 800 miles Nick made to "Woodies on the Wharf" in Santa Cruz, California, where it cruised at 70 mph trouble free. It is currently registered with California year-of-manufacture plates 69V311, which accompany it in the sale.

First things first, from myself and everybody at the Hub, I wish you all a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! I hope it was great for everybody.
Congratulations to Auston Matthews on being named one of the captains at the all-star game as well. Lastly, thanks to all the sad sack Buffalo fans for crying about it so much, that makes it all the sweeter!!
On to the game day read:
The Toronto Maple Leafs hit the road tonight for their first game back after the Christmas break to face the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Blue Jackets are on the second half of a back-to-back, and came away with a 4-3 overtime win over the New York Rangers last night in New York. This means they played extra hockey and traveled to make tonights game…. so they'll likely outpace the Leafs to start the contest, because of course they will. If the Leafs can weather the storm and shake off their turkey hangovers then they should be able to out skate their opponents.
As for the boys in blue, they're on the first leg of a back-to-back that takes them from Columbus tonight to Toronto tomorrow to face the New York Islanders. It will be the first game for (future captain?) John Tavares against his old team since joining the Maple Leafs. If you need an excuse to push that much harder on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back you shouldn't have to look far.
If the Leafs want to win tonight they're going to have to out skate the Jackets. Columbus is a team that I think a lot of Leafs fans would like to see their own team emulate. While they don't have the centre depth that Toronto does (few do), they have players with a lot of speed down the wing (Cam Atkinson, Artemi Panarin), others that hit hard (Nick Foligno, Josh Anderson), good defensive forwards (Brandon Dubinsky, Riley Nash), a top notch defensive unit, and an all-star goaltender. They can skate, hit, score, and defend with just about any team in the league, which is why they're 6th in the league and give the Leafs such a hard time whenever they play them. One more top notch centre and they'd be a nightmare. The Leafs' depth is going to have to prevail tonight when all is said and done.
On the other side, if the Jackets want to win they're going to have to contain the Leafs speed and hit them every chance they get. Getting their bigger bodied players to go to the net hard would also be a solid idea, as the Leafs' blueliners struggle to box out. They saved their best goaltender for this occasion as well. Remember when the Leafs always faced off against the other teams backups? That's a thing of the past. As teams can't help but respect the scoring prowess of one of the most dangerous teams in the league we should get used to this trend instead.
Tale of the tape:
Leafs – 52
Columbus – 47
Leaf – 3.78
Columbus – 3.27
Leafs – 2.78
Columbus – 3.00
Leafs – 23.8%
Columbus – 13.7%
Leafs – 79.6%
Columbus – 79.8%
No word on lines today or a starter but it's expected that Frederik Andersen starts tonight, which means Garret Sparks will be tasked with helping to get (future captain?) John Tavares a win tomorrow against his former team. Here are the lines from yesterdays practice, where Igor Ozhiganov is back in the lineup, alongside Travis Dermott, and Trevor Moore gets set to continue his NHL audition alongside Par Lindholm and Frederik Gauthier on the 4th line. No lineup changes are expected:
#Leafs lines at post-Christmas practice:
— Kristen Shilton (@kristen_shilton) December 27, 2018
It appears as if Garret Sparks will play tonight. This goes against the trend head coach Mike Babcock has set of Frederik Andersen getting all of the 1st legs of back-to-backs. I can only imagine that this has everything to do with his wanting a win tomorrow night against the Islanders for the sake of (future captain?) John Tavares. This just goes to show how much respect Babcock has for (future captain?) John Tavares, because we all know how stubborn he is.
The #leafs held an optional morning skate in Columbus today and it appeared as though Garret Sparks will get the start. Frederik Andersen stayed out for extra work.
Sergei Bobrovsky goes for #CBJ

About this book
The term "trustworthy" has a very precise connotation in the European Community's FP7 research program. For a network to be qualified as trustworthy, it needs to be secure, reliable and resilient to attacks and operational failures. Furthermore, quality of service must be guaranteed, while protecting user data, ensuring privacy and providing usable and trusted tools to support users in their security management. As such, the Trustworthy Internet not only has to include mechanisms, architectures and networking infrastructures that intrinsically provide basic security guarantees, but it also has to ensure users, service providers and application providers alike that their requirements in terms of Quality of Experience, manageability and efficiency are fully met. Providing such combined guarantees in a rapidly evolving, complex infrastructure such as the Internet requires solving challenging issues that encompass many fields of theoretical and applied information engineering. These issues span all levels of the protocol stack, ranging from finding new intrinsically secure transmission systems, to radically novel routing models, to new architectures for data dissemination and for interconnecting an unprecedented number of devices and appliances. This book aims at representing a view of the state of the "Trustworthy Internet" as we enter the second decade of our century. The material included in this book originated from the 21st International Tyrrhenian Workshop on Digital Communications, an event traditionally organized by CNIT, the Italian inter-university consortium for telecommunication research. The workshop comprised either invited contributions from renowned researchers with complementary expertise, as well as independent, peer-reviewed contributions stimulated through an open call for papers. This volume includes a selected subset of the workshop papers. Each contribution has been edited and extended after the workshop, taking into account the discussions carried out during the event, incorporating when appropriate additional technical material. Furthermore, the authors have strived to complement the specific technical aspects they present with background material devised to more comprehensively introduce the reader to the specific topic of trustworthiness tackled.

Ethnic Chinese living outside China can now get extended visas
Many ethnic Chinese living outside of China will be able to apply for visas valid for much longer stays from today, as the country tries to attract overseas Chinese to live and do business there.
Following changes to visa rules, foreigners of Chinese origin will be able to apply for visas valid for multiple entries over a period of five years, up from one year previously.
The changes will also see validity periods for residency permits for these foreigners extended from three years to five, reported the state-run China Daily last week.
China's Ministry of Public Security announced the changes last week, and said the move is meant to make it easier for these foreigners to "return home" to visit families, do business and run personal errands.
A foreigner of Chinese origin refers to either a former Chinese citizen who has obtained foreign citizenship, or the children of present or former Chinese citizens, according to China's official definition, reported South China Morning Post.
Such an individual would need to have one parent, grandparent or ancestor who is or was a Chinese citizen. The changes would most directly affect former Chinese citizens and their children, since it would be easier for them to prove their Chinese origin by submitting official documents issued by China, such as copies of their Chinese passports or identity cards, or those of their relatives.
Documents issued by overseas governments certifying their Chinese ethnicity can also be submitted, but these would have to be assessed by the Chinese embassy or consulate in the country of their origin, according to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office in Shanghai.
According to China Daily, Mr Qu Yunhai, director of the Ministry of Public Security's Exit and Entry Administration Bureau, said last week that the move was an upgrade of similar measures issued in recent years to encourage overseas Chinese "to participate in China's economic development".
"Such rules have played a positive role in serving China's social and economic development and attracting talent with innovative and entrepreneurial spirit," he said.
Dr Yew Chiew Ping, head of the Singapore University of Social Sciences' contemporary China studies programme, said the visa changes are part of China's soft power strategy to reach out to more overseas Chinese.
"In this sense, the Chinese government may believe that overseas Chinese would develop more positive or favourable views of China once they visit or live there and see for themselves the rapid and tremendous socio-economic transformation in the country," she said.

I checked some 'dead' 3 volt batteries with a voltmeter and the reading came out at 3 volts, so how come they're not powering the devices? I thought that if they could produce the voltage then they should be able to push enough current...
Thanks for any info,
Power is a function of voltage and current, You should test the batteries under load.
Excellent, thanks wizard-fred. I need to make up a small circuit to do that, I guess? Would just a resistor be enough? If so, what voltage and ohm ratings should I use? Apologies for my ignorance, I'm just starting out.
It depends on the device that is being powered. A coin cell for CMOS draws less than 1 ma so a 3.3K resistor will do. A camera battery would need to supply greater than 50 ma so a 47 ohm resistor would be more suitable.
I've always tested cmos batteries under no-load. It may not be entirely accurate but it's good for comparing batteries. A battery with a no load voltage of 3 volts is in better condition than one say that shows 0.8 volts.
Is this a digital meter? Was the voltage showing as just 3 or somthing like 3.042? If it was just 3 you may need to change the voltage range.
What 'devices' are you trying to power up with these batteries? A perfectly good battery will appear to be dead if you try to pull more current than it can provide.
Obama's a 2012'er. That explains EVERYTHING..
sorry about that... DAVEINCAPS, I had two 3volt batteries in a weighing scale, it said Lo Battery, but when I tested them with the analog meter on the 10v scale they registered a little over 3v. I also had one in the computer, it kept losing the time and date but it also gave 3v on the meter. Since they're reading 3 volts, is there a way for me to know how much current they can still deliver?
Also thanks wizard-fred.
There probably is but I wouldn't know what to suggest to test them. I think you just need to buy a couple new batteries.
Could your meter be a low quality one or maybe needs to be calibrated? If possible test the batteries with another meter just to get an idea of how accurate the first one is.
Obama's a 2012'er. That explains EVERYTHING..

I invite all of you to ask the question to yourselves: What Will Happen to me if I say YES? And I want you to add, to getting organized??
This post is for those of you still deciding or putting off getting organized. Try to imagine what kind of world it would be for you once you had systems in place; where you could always find what you are looking for; space for everything and you don't feel trapped by the stuff around you! It's really a glorious thing.
The real question is when do I start? When do i start the process of getting organized? When do I not let the fear take over? or the wariness to take hold? When Do I make the commitment and begin the process?
I believe in you! It's not an easy thing to do but you can do it! Just start!

New for 2019 - a next step to the perfect live-aboard!
The Lagoon 46 has a VPLP designed hull, that has accomplished the perfect balance between the different living spaces.
Combined modular front and aft cockpits offer a complete cooking area at the back and practical, safe access to the sea, without compromising salon volume.
The double-access flybridge has a centred helm station, which offers protection and visibility. For even more comfort, different solar protections are possible: a folding cabriolet or a rigid bimini.
For the dinghy, there is the choice of either classic stainless steel davits or an electrical hydraulic platform. The latter option offers easier access to the water and presents a new living space at the back of the boat.
