Passive Returns—A Study in Ten Homes
This online-only article is a supplement to the Winter 2016 print edition of Home Energy Magazine.
October 06, 2016
Anyone who has been in the building science industry for more than a month probably knows what room pressure tests are, and why we would bother to run them. Back in early 2012, when I taught at the Southwest Building Science Training Center in Phoenix, Arizona, I had no problem explaining the concept of room pressure issues, and the negative impact they have on a home, HVAC equipment, and human comfort. I could use my digital manometer, smoke stick, and infrared camera to demonstrate and measure the problems we see in a home with a centralized return duct system and interior doors. And if you have ever performed a combustion appliance zone (CAZ) test, you know an even more important reason why we measure such things.

Welcome to our coverage of TNA Hard Justice. We will be updating this page throughout the night with reports on the show, so check back often for updates.
The PPV pre-show was the "Road To Hard Justice" special from SpikeTV focusing on Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe, with commercials pushing the Doomsday Chamber of Blood match and the appearance of Pacman Jones. I have to say, it seems strange to me how the special focuses on the athletic merits of Joe vs. Angle, with both men talking very seriously about the championship at stake. Meanwhile, on Impact, Angle is a blubbering basket case with Karen Angle being the focus of the storyline, something that wasn't even mentioned during this special until the final lineup rundown.
The PPV event opened with a video package focusing on the Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe match, primarily Karen Angle leaving Kurt Angle and saying their marriage is over. Don West and Mike Tenay welcomed us to the show, then we saw footage of Pacman Jones and his "entourage" (looked like two teenagers) arriving in a black Hummer earlier today. The live crowd booed, although when they went back to the crowd they showed a pro-Pacman sign. Tenay and West then ran down the card for tonight. This was followed by a video package on Pacman Jones and the media attention surrounding his appearance in TNA.
The Motor City Machineguns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley vs. Sonjay Dutt & Jay Lethal vs. Triple X (Christopher Daniels & Senshi, with Elix Skipper at ringside).
Everyone started going at it before the bell, including Skipper. Dutt and Lethal cleared the ring out, then Dutt squared off with Shelley. Shelley blocked a Shining Wizard, but Dutt knocked him out of the ring. Sabin came in, but Dutt took him down with a headscissors. Triple X xame in and worked over Dutt. Referee Earl Hebner managed to get Skipper out of the action. It finally settled into a tag team match. They kept cutting away to show "Police" (guys in T-Shirts that said POLICE on them) there for Pacman Jones' security, and to show empty chairs at ringside that were "reserved" for Karen Angle and a guest. Fast-paced action in the match, but no one really took control. Sabin shoved Lethal to the floor at one point, and Senshi slammed him on the floor. Daniels threw him back in, and Sabin & Shelley continued to work over Lethal, hitting a double suplex and a pair of legdrops for a two count.
Shelly stood on Lethal's hair and pulled up on his arms. Lethal fought back against Shelley, but Shelley decked him with a back elbow. Senshi tagged himself in off of Shelley's back, then hit Lethal with a dropkick for a two count. Daniels tagged in and threw Senshi into a legdrop on Lethal. Lethal fought back, but Daniels took him away from his corner and tagged in Senshi, who hit a powerdrive elbow. Senshi wrenched Lethal's neck, then decked him with a back elbow. Senshi threw Lethal in her corner, and Daniels stood on Lethal as he was slumped over the middle turnbuckle. Daniels put Lethal in a chinlock, and Lethal fought back. Lethal hit a leg lariat off the middle rope and made the hot tag to Dutt. Dutt gave Daniels a rana and shoved Senshi off the apron. Sabin and Shelley came in, but Dutt took them down with a springboard moonsault. Dutt then did a rope walk and gave Daniels a rana for a two count. Dutt went for a rollup, and went into a camel clutch, but Shelley broke it up with a superkick. Dutt and Shelley went at it, with Dutt hitting a Shining Wizard. The match started breaking down, with everyone running in and knocking each other down, culminating with Lethal, Daniels and Sabin all decking each other with clotheslines. There was a TNA chant.
Dutt and Shelley went at it on the floor, and Lethal dove onto them. Daniels then moonsaulted onto Lethal on the floor. Senshi gave Lethal a pescado, while Sabin gave one to Daniels. Dutt then did a top rope moonsault onto everyone on the floor. As they got up, Daniels rammed Dutt into the guard rail and threw Sabin into the ring. Sabin hit a big running kick, then put Daniels in the Tree of Woe. While Hebner tried to untie Daniels from the Tree, Skipper ran in, crotched Sabin on the top rope, then hit the ropewalk rana. Daniels covered for a two count. Shelley hit Daniels with a kick, then Senshi hit Shelley with an elbow. Lethal then took down Senshi, Sabin took down Lethal, then Dutt took down Sabin. Dutt and Lethal managed to get Daniels isolated, but then Sabin & Shelley broke things up as they went for a cover. Sabin and Shelley worked over Lethal, but Dutt broke up that cover. Sabin and Shelley piled up Lethal and Dutt for a double team face plant, but Senshi broke it up. Senshi slammed Shelley and went to the top rope, but Dutt stopped Senshi. While Dutt fought Senshi, Daniels gave Shelley an STO. Daniels put Dutt in a torture rack, then Senshi came off the top rope, onto Dutt's stomach, then into the double stomp on Shelley on the mat. The crowd went nuts for it. Lethal broke up the cover. Triple X cleaned house, and Senshi went to the top rope, but Lethal shoved Daniels into the corner, knocking Senshi to the floor, and Lethal rolled up Daniels for the pin at the fifteen minute mark.
Winners: Sonjay Dutt & Jay Lethal.
Backstage, Jeremy Borash went into Samoa Joe's dressing room, to find Karen Angle drinking champagne with some bald-headed guy. Karen said she was looking forward to being the "former Mrs. Kurt Angle". She gave Jeremy her glass and told him to leave and shut the door, implying she was going to get busy with the guy. Borash left, chugged the champagne, then went off to tell Kurt Angle.
Raven vs. Kaz
Raven was accompanied by Havoc and Martyr. Raven got on the mic and told Kaz he was willing to forgive everything and let him back in Serotonin.Kaz hugged Raven, then caned him with his kendo stick. Raven backdropped Kaz out of the ring, but Kaz landed on Havoc. Martyr tried a dive, but Kaz moved out of the way. The story was that Kaz was staying one step ahead of Raven, until Raven nailed him with two legsweeps into the guard rail. Back in the ring, Raven hit some legkicks and a victory roll for a two count. Raven grabbed a kendo stick and choked Kaz with it. Kaz fought back with punches, but Raven gave him a kneelift that sent him over the top rope and to the floor. Martyr and Havoc worked over Kaz at ringside. They rolled him back into the ring and Raven got a two count. Raven hit a lariat and a boot to the face. Raven hit some crossface shots, then slapped Kaz a few times. Kaz fought back with right hands, then hit a leg lariat. Havoc and Martyr ran in, but Havoc ended up superkicking Martyr when Kaz moved. Raven shoved them for messing up, and Kaz clothesline then from the ring. Kaz then gave Havoc, who was on the apron, a rana from the top rope to the floor. Raven nailed Kaz with a kendo stick and rolled him into the ring. Raven went for a DDT, but Kaz blocked it. Kaz knocked Martyr off the apron, ducked a Raven clothesline and hit a jumping kick for the win at the six minute mark.
Winner: Kaz.
Jeremy Borash told Kurt Angle that Karen brought a date with her to the show. Angle said Borash was lying, then asked Borash if the date was younger than him. Angle told Borash to point him in the direction of Joe's locker room, and took off.
A video package on the James Storm-Rhino feud was shown.
James Storm, with Jackie Moore, vs. Rhino - Barroom Brawl
This is basically an Anything Goes match, but a bar is set up at ringside with stools, bottles and a mannequin. There was also a card table set up in the ring with chairs. The announcers said they hadn't seen Rhino all day. Rhino ran out and threw a chair from the ring at Storm in the aisle, but the chair actually went into the crowd. They started brawling and immediately went into the crowd. Storm hit Rhino with a trash can, but Rhino fought back and dragged Storm up into the stands. Rhino dominated most of the fighting in the crowd, but Storm reversed a whip and Rhino made the obligatory "hole in the wall under the stands" that we see pretty much every PPV. They made it back to ringside after four minutes of brawling in the crowd. Rhino hit Storm with the bar stools. Rhino opened a beer and chugged it down, which is shocking since this whole storyline was based on Rhino being a former alcoholic. Rhino sprayed beer on Jackie Moore and pounded Storm some more. Rhino took a mini-keg and sprayed Jackie with it, then drank some more. There was a toilet set up at ringside (seriously) and Rhino tried to put Storm's head in it, but Storm stopped him and fought back, hitting some shots with a crutch. Storm suplexed Rhino on the rampway.
Storm then charged Rhino, and Rhino backdropped Storm onto the bar, which collapsed. Rhino picked up a bottle of vodka and chugged some, then chased it with some beer. The announcers put over how sad it was that Rhino had fallen off the wagon. Rhino rammed Storm's head into the toilet. Rhino then sat on the toilet. Then he decided to go get a ladder instead. Storm reversed a whip, but Rhino backdropped him to the apron, and then shoved him to the floor. Rhino bridged a ladder between the ring and the guardrail, but never got to use it, as Storm got back in the ring. Rhino took out a table and a trash can, then hit Storm with the lid. Jackie ran in and attacked Rhino, but Rhino lifted her for a press slam. Storm stopped him from slamming her and hit him with a trash can lid. Storm threw Rhino over the top rope, and he crashed through the ladder that has been set up at ringside earlier. Storm rolled Rhino into the ring and hit a series of right hands. Rhino hit Storm with a belly to belly suplex, then set up a table in a corner. Rhino gave Storm a spinebuster, then set up for a Gore through the table. Storm moved and Rhino went through the table alone. Storm covered Rhino for a two count. The announcers tried to put over that Rhino was "a step off" because he had taken two drinks during the match. Storm hit Rhino repeatedly with a trash can, then a chair shot to the head. Storm gave Rhino a one-man Conchairto. Storm waited for Rhino to stagger to his feet, then hit a superkick. Storm picked up a beer bottle, then broke it over Rhino's head and got the pin at the 14 minute mark.
Winner: James Storm.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, some low quality ingredients, controversial filler, fat of unidentifiable origin
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form. There is a further meat meal ingredient 9th on the ingredient list. This is too far down to make any significant contribution to the overall meat content of the food. We note this ingredient is fish meal, but find no sign on the manufacturers website of a guarantee that they use only ethoxyquin-free protein sources (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients and that is banned or heavily regulated in human food due to the belief that it is carcinogenic).
The main grains in the food are oat flour and oat flour, neither of which is high quality. Flour is a grain fragment that we consider to be primarily filler. Poultry fat is a low quality ingredient rarely found in anything but very low quality foods. Poultry fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative"
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. Tomato pomace is further filler.
There are no fruits/vegetables in the food though we appreciate the use of whole eggs. We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.

Giveaway: Lonely Girl, Gracious God ~ 2 Winners, $12 ARV {8.17; Worldwide} CLOSED
Written by NPN Reviewers on July 17th, 2011
Edited by Amanda
Holistic Health, Natural Learning, Natural Parenting Products, Reading, Reviews and Giveaways
This giveaway is now closed. Please stay tuned for the announcement of the winner.
This is a joint giveaway with I Thought I Knew Mama and Natural Parents Network. You may enter at one site only. Find the section marked "Win it!" for the mandatory entry and optional bonus entries.
As a former special ed teacher who has worked with autistic children, I was more than happy to review Lonely Girl, Gracious God by Lauri Khodabandehloo, but I wasn't expecting anything earth shattering. I've read and heard many stories of autism and I didn't expect this one to be very different.
Lonely Girl, Gracious God surprised me. Almost right from the start, Lauri's brutally honest writing gripped me. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows, including feelings of guilt, despair, and devastation, are put out there for the reader without hesitation and with an amazingly reflective attention to detail. She doesn't conceal anything.
If you enjoy reading parenting blogs, my guess is that you will really like reading this book. I am fascinated by the windows that blogs provide into other people's families, regardless of how their parenting style might differ from mine. Lonely Girl, Gracious God offers a similar kind of window. It is a powerful memoir that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
This book is categorized as an inspirational book and with Lauri's perseverance and faith running as an undercurrent throughout the story, that label certainly fits. But it is far from being sugary sweet. This author, who has contributed stories to the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, is definitely not afraid to share the gritty details of trying desperately to balance raising four children with a stressed marriage and an autistic daughter.
I have a very special place in my heart for children and families that have special needs, but even without that predisposition, I know that the strong dichotomous themes of tragedy and triumph, despair and hope, and hardship and miracle would have touched me deeply. I couldn't put this book down over the course of a four day vacation and I recommend it to anyone who has a special interest in autism or Christianity. Additionally, any mama who can identify with highs, lows, and constant surprises of parenting will also identify with this book.
You can buy Lonely Girl, Gracious God on Amazon, where it's currently on sale for $11.89 and eligible for free Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25.

Effective today, Saturday, March 28, 2020 Belleville Transit will be temporarily moving to On-Demand Services only. There will be no scheduled fixed-route service until further notice as we continue to work through the COVID-19 situation.
Members of the community are invited to attend an open house at Parkdale Community Centre on April 2, 2020 from 4 to 8 p.m. The top three proposals submitted for the design construction of the playground at Parkdale Veterans Park will be showcased at this time. All are welcome.
This new, fully accessible playground has been made possible through the generous support of the Medigas Celebrity Classic.
Winter parking restrictions are in effect between Nov. 2 and Apr. 14 and apply to all City streets between the hours of 1 and 6 a.m. Vehicles left on the street pose an obstacle to snow-clearing activities, making it dangerous for both maintenance crews and the public. The goal is to restore safe motorist and pedestrian travel and to facilitate Fire, Ambulance and Police Department responses to emergencies. Overnight parking is also not permitted in City-owned parking lots. Motorists parking on City streets, or in a City-owned parking lot, between 1 and 6 a.m. run a high risk of having their vehicle ticketed and possibly towed. The City's parking enforcement staff and road crews, including staff operating road and sidewalk snow plows, wish to thank motorists for their co-operation in heeding parking restrictions.
The January edition of the BELLEVILLE magazine is here! Belleville residents will receive a copy in the mail or it can be viewed here online.
Please note that our Public Works Operations Centre at 31 Wallbridge Cres. is OPEN despite construction at the front of the building. Limited parking is available on the north side of the building and the front entrance is still open to the public.
Construction of the New Catharine Street Pedestrian Bridge has Been Delayed
Efforts are continuing on obtaining the necessary Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) authorizations for the project. Water levels in the Moira River at the bridge site have continued to rise with the rising Bay of Quinte and Lake Ontario water levels.
Please click on the link above for information on how to prepare for flood conditions.
The City of Belleville is pleased to offer Pingstreet to its residents and visitors, giving them real-time access to current services and information within the City directly through your mobile device.

Yes, we certainly are alive! But DAAAAAAMNNNN it's been 4 years since the last post! Sorry about that. The long and short of it was REAL LIFE got in the way >< I know that's no excuse, but BELIEVE ME, between moving to an IT position at work (FINALLY) and going back to school (electricity and magnetism physics SUCKS!) I've had little time to set aside for posts and reviews. My addiction hasn't settled down though, as I continue to collect figmas, as shown by the top image. YES I GOT HER! Akuma Homura finally arrived today! I'm planning on setting aside some time during the spring break coming up to review her and possibly some other figmas (the Shingeki no Kyojin figmas come to mind, and I can review them all at once since they're all the same! Well, except Cleaning Levi…) so there's that. I'm also planning on trying my hand at youtube reviews, so that might be a thing too. I'll let all 5 of you know when that happens. In the meantime, we've got a twitter @figmauniverse, and I'm working on a facebox page too. Again, I'm really sorry I haven't been updating, but hopefully that will change soon. Thanks again for your support!

Cloud, cloud, cloud – it's all about the cloud! In fact, we have just launched a cloud solution to help Small and Medium sized businesses better manage their BlackBerry® devices – the free BlackBerry Management Center. But what does all of this cloud talk really mean to businesses like yours? My guess is that you use cloud solutions every day – maybe you have been for years – but just haven't necessarily been referring to them as 'cloud'. Does your business use webmail? Cloud. What about an integrated voice mail system accessed from your mobile device? Cloud. Online payment services, again – cloud. Internet banking, you got it – cloud. The list goes on.
We thought it might be good to start some dialogue around the concept of 'cloud' and what it means to you in your work life. We are open to ideas (send them in or use the comments!) but 'cloud storage' seemed like a good place to start.*
Businesses, regardless of size or focus, need to have a secure, reliable and easily accessible storage solution for all of their important data. Oftentimes this information needs to be stored centrally so that groups of people, both internal and external to your company, can access them. This is probably even more relevant in today's "total mobility and wireless work from anywhere at any time-ability." (I'm thinking that I will coin that phrase!)
There are loads of solutions out there today to meet these needs, from complex backup systems to lightweight, software-as-a-service (SaaS) offers. Given this post focuses on the 'Cloud and Small Business,' I thought I would run through a great new 'sign up and go' service with a particularly good offer for BlackBerry users.
Box.net is a storage, collaboration, and workflow tool geared towards small business needs. Box.net is designed to allow businesses to share files and get necessary approvals from clients. They can access and check the status of the data from virtually anywhere their day takes them, as well as assign tasks and add comments as needed. Administrative controls are easy to assign and can be done on the fly.
For a limited time, Box.net is offering 50GB of storage free (a value of $20/month!) to BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet owners. Download the Box.net application for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet between September 7, 2011 and December 31, 2011 and sign in or register to receive 50 GB free storage Make sure that you don't miss out! To check out all of the details and take advantage of this promotion, head over to www.box.net/playbook. Once you're up and running with a box.net account and app on your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, I think you can consider yourself an official user of 'the cloud'.
Do you currently use a cloud storage solution at your company? Beyond straight storage, what do you do with them?

Months after his nasty and very public split with his ex-fiance Vienna Girardi, it seems Jake Pavelka has had time to heal.
The former Bachelor star tells RadarOnline in a new interview that he isn't holding a grudge when it comes to his ex. "I wish her the absolute best," said Jake.
RadarOnline reports the two exes have yet to speak to each other since their volatile sit down interview for ABC, which left Vienna storming out in tears. The interview took place after Vienna sold her break up story to Star magazine, detailing a sexless and emotionally abusive relationship with Jake.
"I wish her great luck. I hope she goes out and breaks a million hearts. I think she has some pretty realistic goals in her life, and I wish her the absolute best. Hopefully she'll find that guy that she can spend the next 60 years of life with," said the phony Jake.
Jake also shared that he hasn't dated anyone yet since his break up, but remains optimistic he will eventually find someone to share the rest of his life with.
And what does Jake like in a woman? "I prefer blondes, brunettes and redhead or any combination there of," he said adding that his dream girl will have a big heart and "be somebody that is really kind."
As we reported this week, Vienna has moved on and now has a new man in her life named John Sala.

Selection of proper truck tire gives a comfortable ride and reduces the wear and tear on the tire drive mechanism, brakes and suspension parts. New Tires For Sale in Florida many factors determine the selection of suitable type of tire.

New Tires For Sale in Florida ?
Truck Tires have to operate amongst the most strenuous of all environments, when one looks at the automobile sector. Since purchase of regular tires can be a costly affair, truck owners often opt for a cheaper alternative.There are many necessary details which have to be kept in mind when one goes in for purchasing Discount Tires for Trucks. These tires must ensure smooth operability while catering to different loads across roads, and provide traction irrespective of weather. Tires for trucks come in a range of sizes and are designed to perform well in a wide range of temperatures.Different techniques are followed before and after manufacture to ensure longevity of traction. The tire pressure is a very important parameter, and tire pressure should be kept at ideal levels in all the tires within a vehicle. If there is low air pressure in one tire, it puts undue strain on another, and thus the wear-and-tear rate is enhanced.Regular servicing after every 35,000 miles ensures that the tires remain roadworthy for a long time. Depending on the usage requirements, some tire companies also reinforce load capacity. Speed ratings are also available. This can be used to augment the load-carrying capacity of the vehicle.Trucks come in various sizes, and there is often some degree of variance between trucks used for ferrying passengers and those used to transport goods. The lighter trucks are often employed under tough operating conditions, like off-road travel and overloading. This puts added strain on the tires, which must be able to respond to varying quantities of load and road condition. Thus, the tires for light trucks often have an extra layer and\or a larger bead, with enhanced sidewall rubber to provide additional strength.
Five Different Types of Car Tyres
Truck tire blowout, often caused by defective tires, is a very serious road hazard that often results in collisions with injuries and fatalities. We have all probably seen the remnants of a blown truck tire scattered across a highway, and many of us had to do some skillful maneuvering to avoid running over these "road gators" (as they are called) or to avoid them hitting our vehicles after the car in front of us has run over them.Debris littering the highways causes over 25,000 accidents and at least 100 deaths each year in the United States and Canada. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reports that blown tire pieces are the number one road debris.Importance of Proper InflationStudies have shown that most tire and scrap rubber debris on the roadways is caused by under-inflation of tires, which makes the tire susceptible to cuts and flats. When a truck tire comes apart, it can often cause a failure in the other tires, either from a puncture from the debris or from other tires having to carry a disproportionate share of the load, which causes overheating and tire failure.Alignment also needs to be checked on a regular basis. A truck driver, while inspecting his truck, should be on the lookout for wheel problems and tire injuries. Rubbing your hand along the tread and sidewalls to feel for problems like flat spots, cuts, shoulder wear, bulges, sidewall damage, etc. is a good way to check for obvious problems. These simple and quick checks can help you avoid, or at least minimize the number of, catastrophic accidents.All drivers should stop immediately once a tire problem is detected. Even continuing on to the nearest rest stop or weigh station can be disastrous. Tires driven with improper air pressure will eventually come apart, and the results can be deadly.Maintaining proper air pressure in all tires is absolutely imperative while driving your truck across the nation's highways. Ensuring your tires are properly inflated just may save your life and the lives of those traveling beside you.
After extensive testing at Bridgestone's headquarters in Italy, leading UK motoring magazine Auto Express have published their top 16 car tyres on the market today.
They focused on the current best selling 16-inch tyres. A series of simple assessments were carried out in the wet and the dry. The ten brands that came out on top were;
1. Goodyear Hydragrip
2. Vredestein Sportrac3
3. Continental Contipremium- Contact 2
4. Michelin Primacy HP
5. Bridgestone Turanza ER300
6. Uniroyal Rainsport 1
7. Toyo Proxes T1R
3. Tyre Noise
Certain car tyres are quieter than others, which is an important factor if you spend much of your time driving up and down the motorways.
The best approach when buying new car tyres is to visit an independent car tyre specialist such as Merityre.co.uk. They have experts who can provide you with impartial advice on the best tyres, based on your vehicle's requirements and your driving circumstances.

So what's a gal to do when she is forced to fork over a check of 22k to her alleged stalker ex? Well if you're Gretchen Rossi of the Real Housewives of Orange County, you pick yourself up and get right back to what you do best — hosting parties and doing paid appearances.
Gretchen, 32, hosted some parties in Las Vegas this weekend. First she appeared at the JET mirage nightclub on Friday, and then donned a bikini the next day before hitting up the Bare Pool Lounge where she is said to have relaxed with her friends and family. More photos of Gretchen below.
In other news, Bravo has announced it is now casting for the sixth season of the OC Housewives. According to their casting call, they are looking for "outgoing, exciting, strong, focused women who reside in Orange County and want to share their lives with us."
This seems to be a negotiating ploy done by Bravo every year whenever it comes time to negotiate with the current housewives, as they never really pick their new housewives from the casting calls. Case in point, last season's new housewife Alexis Bellino, was not picked from a casting call. She was recommended to the producers by Gretchen.
With that being said, more on the casting call is below. Audition at your own risk:
"We are looking for women who are "Housewives" in the present-day sense. They should be lively and energetic, with defined opinions and views. The women need to have busy lives, be involved with the community, have a strong work ethic, and an active social calendar. Most of all, these women need to be enjoying "the good life." We love women who are self-confident and happy with whom they are. The women, their significant others and families must be open to sharing their experiences with the producers and the television audience."

Injury Report
Probable: Arturo Alvarez (left thigh contusion).
Last Game
Earthquakes 2, Chicago Fire 1; April 10, 2010; Toyota Park; Bridgeview, Ill.
The San Jose Earthquakes defeated the Chicago Fire 2-1 in front of a sold-out crowd of 20,276 in Chicago's home opener at Toyota Park. San Jose capitalized on a communication breakdown between Fire 'keeper Andrew Dykstra and defender C.J. Brown to take the lead. Arturo Alvarez was the hero for the Earthquakes, chipping an 18-yard shot over the heads of Brown and Dykstra – who were still on the ground after colliding – to score in the 49th minute. Marco Pappa put the Fire level only three minutes after San Jose opened the scoring, ripping a 25-yard shot into the right upper 90. The Fire almost scored again in the 73rd minute when Patrick Nyarko pulled Cannon out of net before squaring the ball to John at the top of the 18. John one-timed his shot towards goal, but San Jose's Jason Hernandez came up with a miraculous goal line clearance to keep the game knotted up at one. Nine minutes later, the Earthquakes made the Fire pay for their near miss, when rookie defender Opara headed midfielder Bobby Convey's cross into the back of the net from eight yards out for the game-winner.
Last Game vs. Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake 3, Earthquakes 0; March 27, 2010; Buck Shaw Stadium; Santa Clara, Calif.
The Earthquakes opened their season with a 3-0 loss at the hands of defending MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake in front of a crowd of 10,589—the largest ever to watch the Quakes at Buck Shaw Stadium. Javier Morales opened the scoring in the 14th minute when he craftily controlled a pass from Espindola and fired a wicked shot from 35 yards out. The dipping rocket found the upper corner at the far post, leaving San Jose goalkeeper Joe Cannon no recourse. It was 2-0 in the 27th minute, when Jason Hernandez attempted to break up a lead pass from Morales meant for Fabian Espindola. Instead, the ball bounced off Espindola's chest and landed at his feet, affording him ample opportunity to beat the charging Cannon. The outcome was cemented in the 53rd minute, when Robbie Findley flicked on a pretty back header that Espindola ran onto. Chris Leitch made the only play he could, holding back Espindola and drawing a red card at the edge of the penalty area. Morales duly stepped up and curled home a gorgeous free kick, once again high and to the far post, leaving Cannon diving at air.
Last Game vs. New England
New England Revolution 2, Earthquakes 1; Aug. 29, 2009; Gilette Stadium; Foxborough, Mass.
Steve Ralston notched his team-leading seventh goal of the season and added an assist as the New England Revolution beat the San Jose Earthquakes 2-1 at a rainy Gillette Stadium. Two goals in six minutes turned the game on its head and handed the Revolution a decisive advantage. Ralston notched his team-leading seventh goal of the season in the 68th minute. The direct, Route One play saw a long ball lumped out of the back. Joseph -- switched up top when Dube went off in the 62nd minute -- flicked on service. Luiz couldn't deal with the flick-on, allowing Ralston to surge in behind the back line and loop over Cannon. Thompson doubled the advantage with a sublime finish six minutes late. Ralston started the move with a sweeping long ball to Thompson down the right wing. Thompson ran at the beleaguered Corrales, cut inside far too easily and curled his left-footed effort into the upper corner. Corrales made sure San Jose's late pressure paid off with a fine cross for Sanchez to head home in second-half stoppage time, but the final whistle soon blew to ensure the Revs would grab their third win on the trot.

Earthquakes Weekly Update
This Week

Just two hours after its world premiere at the Eccles, Lynn Shelton's comedy "Laggies" is already drawing interest from top-tier distributors, with Fox Searchlight and Lionsgate among the buyers showing interest in the film.
While neither has made an actual offer yet, acquisitions execs from both companies were seen huddling up in opposite corners of the Eccles lobby and overheard discussing the film's commercial potential, which appears to be strong judging by immediate reaction on social media.

The impact of social media seems to be growing at festivals, where distributors are eager to learn what audiences think of a film in real-time. It's worth noting that mere minutes after the credits started rolling, Fox Searchlight began following this reporter, as well as SlashFilm's Germain Lussier, on Twitter.
While a distributor's interest in critical reaction doesn't always indicate interest in the film, one sales agent representing "Laggies" told TheWrap they'd love to see it wind up at Searchlight, which has bought the cream of the festival's crop the past few years, leaving Park City with such films as "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and last year's crowd pleaser "The Way Way Back."
For it's part, Lionsgate has been moving away from the genre films that helped define the studio's recent success and has been more open to acquiring upscale indie comedy such as "Friends With Kids" and "Imogene."

"Laggies" boasts a name-brand cast that should lead to a healthy sale, regardless of which distributor buys the film. Keira Knightley stars as a woman so resistant to growing up that she befriends a high school student, played by rising star Chloe Moretz. Sam Rockwell co-stars as Moretz's single father who catches Knightley's eye despite the fact that she's engaged to her own high school sweetheart (Mark Webber).
"Laggies" screens again Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. at the MARC, and a sale could be announced shortly after that. Stay tuned.

Liberty or Captivity? The Bishops' Campaign for Religious Freedom
The U.S. Catholic bishops "Fortnight for Freedom" campaign Jun. 21-July 4, is a a rally called by a few of the leading bishops, including Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput, formerly of Denver, and some of their nationally prominent conservative advisers.
Of course, the easy criticism to make would be that the bishops have a terrible record of defending religious freedom and freedom of conscience in their own back yards – among their frequently dissenting fellow Catholics. That critique, while complicated, would be true enough, but more an intra-Catholic debate about authority and conscience and less interesting, I think, than remarks about the politics at play this fortnight.
Let me begin, however, by stressing that I am expressing opinion. I have no hard evidence for what I'll be saying, and some (especially about efforts to influence the national elections) has been publicly denied by at least one of their number. Still, I believe mine are informed opinions based on long observation of men like Archbishop Chaput.
For I think he and his fellows and advisors are engaged simultaneously in three interrelated forms of politics in their campaign for religious liberty.

Aus 145 Designs von 31 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
To design a new logo and, in turn, letterhead and business cards for Professional Footballers Australia (PFA), the exclusive representative body of Australia's elite professional footballers and one of the most influential organisations in Australian football (soccer).
Professional Footballers Australia (PFA)
Celebrating 15 years as "the players' champion", the Australian Professional Footballers' Association Inc is about to rebrand itself as "Professional Footballers Australia" (PFA).
The PFA is the exclusive representative body of Australia's 450 elite men and women professional footballers who play for Australia's national teams – the Socceroos (men) and the Matildas (women) – and in some of the most popular football leagues in the world, including the English Premier League, the Italian Serie A and Australia's own Hyundai A-League.
In addition to negotiating the collective bargaining agreements for its members for when they play for Australia or in the A-League, the PFA provides a range of highly valuable individual services, including legal representation, contract negotiation, insurance, educational assistance and retirement benefits. These services are designed to maximize the time players spend in the game and to help them prepare for life after football.
Philosophically, the PFA is committed to building football into a better game, developing its members both as players and people, and ensuring football makes a difference to the community. The PFA is also an organisation with a global outlook, and is a leading member of FIFPro (http://www.fifpro.org), the world players' union, with the responsibility to drive the development of FIFPro's and the players' voice in Asia.
- Must be effective when reproduced at various sizes
- Logo that captures the PFA values such as a sense of strength, professionalism, collectivism and tradition
- One option may be to look at modernising the existing logo so that it retains its heritage but is a more contemporary logo - refer http://www.pfa.net.au
- We would like the art in vector format
Avoid a harlequin football as these are common in football logos but are dated to the 1970's.

June 8, 2009 -- Women who breastfeed their babies may be less likely to develop metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors that makes heart disease and diabetes more likely.
So say researchers who studied data from a study of 1,390 women who were followed for 20 years, starting when they were 18-30 years old.
Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when people have at least three of the following traits:
- Large waist size: 40 inches or larger for men; 35 inches or larger for women
- High triglycerides: 150 mg/dL or higher or use of a cholesterol medicine
- Low HDL "good" cholesterol: Less than 40 mg/dL for men, less than 50 mg/dL for women, or use of a cholesterol medicine
- High blood pressure: 130/85 or greater, or use of a high blood pressure medicine
- High fasting glucose level: 100 mg/dL or higher
None of the women had metabolic syndrome when the study began in 1985-1986. When the study ended 20 years later, 704 of the women had had at least one baby, and 120 women had been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome was rarer among women who reported breastfeeding their babies. The longer they breastfed their babies during the first nine months after birth, the less likely they were to be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome during the 20-year study.
The reason for that isn't clear, but the findings held regardless of the women's preconception measurements, body mass index (BMI), lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors. The results were stronger for women who had gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
"Women who had breastfed babies for longer than one month were less likely in subsequent years to develop the metabolic syndrome," Erica Gunderson, PhD, tells WebMD in an email. "An additional new finding from this study is that breastfeeding also conferred long-term health benefits for women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus."
Gunderson's team presented their findings on June 6 in New Orleans at the American Diabetes Association's 69th annual Scientific Sessions meeting.

International architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) presented its design for Block H of the Yongsan International Business District (YIBD) in Seoul. The goal of YIBD is to create a new symbol for the 21st Century city; a new urban center in Seoul for international business, living, entertainment, and shopping.
Scheduled for completion in 2016, Block H consists of a luxury 5-Star hotel and high-end serviced residential building containing 167,225 square meters of space. The 385-meter-tall tower sits on a 14,600-square-meter parcel of land on the northeastern border of the YIBD, achieving an FAR of 11.4%. KPF's building is situated in a way that seeks to mediate the extreme height (665m) of the landmark office tower to the northwest, and transition this height to the lower scale of the residential blocks beyond. KPF sought to intensify the social aspect of the street through a distinct urban landscape and diverse program at the lower levels of the building.
KPF's tower contains casino, retail, and spa functions in the basement, and the firm proposed a podium building to accommodate a large banquet hall and other amenities for the hotel. The desire, however, is not to create a composition of tower and podium, but rather to create a tower that emerges or grows out of the podium like the organic growth of a crystal. The tower and podium are treated as one singular form, with a language of terraces and set-back forms that grow upwards and outwards towards light and views. +

After a person dies, the body changes. The first stage is called rigor mortis, characterised by a stiffening of the muscles. This passes within 36 to 72 hours. The body also begins to decompose, with associated bloating and colour changes. This is why anatomists were so keen to get fresh bodies for dissection.
By the 1700s bodies were so valuable to anatomists that they were willing to go to great, often illegal, lengths to secure them. While trying to establish themselves as respectable professionals, at the same time they fostered relationships with body-snatchers and grave-robbers to ensure that they and their students had access to enough cadavers for their work. William Hunter, the famous London obstetrician, obtained students for his anatomical school by promising each their own cadaver. However, he left the dirty work of procuring them to his brother, John Hunter.
Where did the bodies come from? In the late 1800s there was a trend for scientists and progressive individuals from the upper classes to have their bodies autopsied. However, overwhelmingly it was the destitute and powerless whose bodies were dissected. Bodies were stolen after death, or in the infamous case of Burke and Hare, individuals were murdered for their bodies.
In the United States, grave-robbers in the south regularly transported the bodies of enslaved workers to northern medical schools. Slaveholders sometimes sold or donated the bodies of their enslaved workers to medical schools, making the threat of dissection a weapon of control and coercion. The 1832 Anatomy Act in England, and state acts in the USA (beginning with Massachusetts in 1831) made unclaimed bodies from hospitals or workhouses available to anatomy schools.

I'm pretty sure you could build a life-sized replica of the Eiffel Tower with the amount of gone-off, half-eaten cucumbers I've thrown out over the years (…alright, a very soggy, structurally unstable one…). And it's not just cucumbers; I am one of the worst people when it comes to wasting food. It's not that I do it on purpose, I just forget what I've got in my fridge and so stuff tends to go off before I can get to it. Most night I have to scramble to find something to cook or rush out to get something last minute, and there have been more than a few nights where I've just given in and ordered a takeaway.
One of my resolutions this year was to start Meal Planning in an effort to cut down on supermarket trips and food waste, as well as learning to cook some new meals and eat a little healthier along the way. And honestly? It's been brilliant. Now, I only buy food that I know I'm going to use, and I know exactly what's for dinner every night of the week. No more hanging on the fridge door every night wondering what to cook, no more last minute trips to the supermarket, and no more soggy cucumbers!
How to Get Started
Before you start you're going to need a few things to help you organise your shopping and your meals for the week:
- A Calendar: I always like to have a month to view calendar up in the kitchen where everyone can see it to write important dates/events/reminders on. This year – surprise, surprise – I've got a Golden Retriever one. 😉
- A Menu Board: This is where you're going to display your weekly meals; it could be anything from a black or white board hung up in the kitchen somewhere, or even just a piece of paper tacked up on the fridge.
- A Recipe Journal: You're going to need somewhere to write down any recipes that you come across so you can refer back to it when you're planning meals for the week.
- Well-Stocked Cupboards. Make sure your cupboards are full of cooking essentials like rice, herbs, spices, sauces, pasta etc…
- A Weekly Food Budget: What's the most you're willing to spend on your weekly food shop? I had no idea myself to begin with, but now that I've been meal planning for a while I know roughly how much my weekly food shop should cost and so know when I'm over-spending or coming up short.
- Assign a day of the week and time to do your food shop: This will determine how you prepare and plan your weekly meals. I like to do my food shopping on a Monday because it's nice and quiet and it's right at the start of the week – duh!
So, what does it look like in practice? Well, here's what I do each week:
The Day Before Shopping…
As I said, I like to do my food shopping on a Monday, so on Sundays I start thinking about what kind of food I want to eat during the week ahead and if there's anything that's going to play a role in that decision.
- Check your fridge and your cupboards. Is there any food that needs to be used up this week? Is there anything that you need to repurchase?
- Check the calendar. Work your meals around your schedule, for example, if you know you're tired on Thursdays and struggle to cook then plan to eat leftovers that day, eat out, or order in.
- If there's more than just one person in your house, check in with them and work out if there are any days that they're planning on working late or won't be in to eat.
- Check your Recipe Journal. I save a lot of recipes I fancy trying to my Pinterest, and then copy down the ones that worked out into my journal. I check this each week before writing my shopping list to see if there's anything in there that will work that week. You don't need to write your menu out just yet or know what you want to eat each day.
- Write your shopping list!
Food Shop Day…
On Mondays I clear out my fridge to make space and then head to the supermarket armed with my list.
- When you bring your shopping back – before putting anything away – check the use-by dates on perishables. Meat is the big one, so take a look at each pack and write on your calendar when everything goes off or needs to be used by. This is going to cut down big time on food waste, and will help you plan your menu for the week.
- Don't over-pack your fridge. I still struggle with this one, but try and keep your fridge organised so you can clearly see what you've got (and find things easily!).
- Using the use-by dates on the calendar as a guide, write out a menu for each day of the week and stick it up somewhere so everyone can see it. If you share out cooking duties, write down who's cooking on each day.
During the week…
Most of the hard work is done, but during the week there are a few things I like to do to stay on top things and help make planning for the next week a little easier.
- Prep what you can ahead of time, or make sure you keep your freezer stocked with ready chopped herbs and vegetables. Frozen chopped onions, people. They're AMAZING. Having a good stock of frozen veg, makes things so much easier when it's time to cook!
- Keep a list of anything run out of or need to buy for next week.
- If a recipe goes wrong or isn't THE ONE, then cross it out on your weekly menu and remove it from your Recipe Journal.
- If there are any ingredients you haven't used or that you know you're not going to get through before the end of the week, freeze them or work them into next week's plan.
- Always be on the lookout for new recipes to try. Pin them, or write them down in your Recipe Journal.
- Sometimes I like to cook meals that I know are going to leave me plenty of leftovers. That way, I can stock my freezer, or have a couple of days the following week that I don't need to plan for. 🙂
And that's it! It takes a little time to get into the swing of things, but doing that little bit of planning each week has really helped me to cut down on my food waste, eat healthier (which I find really hard) and discover some new favourite foods! 🙂
Anyone got a favourite recipes? I need to make my list for next week and fancy trying something new. Hook me up, people! 😉
