The body of wrestler Chris Benoit has been cremated, according to his father.
Speaking from his Sherwood Park home yesterday, Michael Benoit wouldn't confirm whether his son's ashes are now in the Edmonton area, nor would he say what the family intends to do with the remains.
Contrary to a posting on a website, Michael said his son's organs were not harvested for medical use. He said it's unfortunate, but Chris's organs weren't viable for donation.
The 40-year-old WWE wrestler killed his wife Nancy and seven-year-old son Daniel before hanging himself at his Fayetteville, Ga., home June 24.
Michael told Sun Media the family is still coming to terms with the tragic deaths.
"We're trying to cope. It's a difficult time and we are trying to do our best," he said.
Michael said the family would eventually speak to the public in greater detail about their son's death. However, for now they need more time.
Benoit was born in Montreal, but grew up in Edmonton. He decided to become a wrestler at age 13.
From 1985 to 1989, Benoit competed in Stampede Wrestling. He burst onto the U.S. wrestling seen in 1994, where he became known as the "Canadian Crippler."

MIAA official regrets remark
A spokesman for the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association is apologizing for calling gymnastics "a girls' sport'' — a remark that drew sharp criticism from many area gymnasts, including Olympic champion Aly Raisman.
"Sorry I said what I said,'' spokesman Paul Wetzel said Wednesday. "I was trying to make a point, and I put my foot in mouth.''
Wetzel made the "girls' sport'' comment to the Globe on the heels of the MIAA's decision to stop recognizing boys' gymnastics as an official high school sport. He said Wednesday there was no indication the MIAA's board members will change their mind.
Eliminating boys' gymnastics from sanctioned competition will affect only seven high schools fielding boys' gymnastics teams in the 2012-2013 season — Andover, Attleboro, Braintree, Burlington, Lowell, Newton North, and Newton South — but the plan, and Wetzel's remark, roiled many gymnasts, parents, and coaches.
Raisman turned to the social media site Twitter to express her opinion.
"Extremely disappointing that boys gymnastics is being dropped by MIAA,'' Raisman tweeted Jan. 27. "This quote upsets me,'' she added, referring to Wetzel's comment in a Jan. 24 Globe story that the sport was not attracting enough male participants.
"It's a "girls' sport,'' Wetzel had said in the interview. "When was the last time you watched boys' gymnastics? They don't get on the cover of the Wheaties box. They don't get the endorsements.''
Posting under the hashtag "#ridiculous,'' Raisman followed with another tweet, saying, "There is absolutely no such thing as a 'girl sport.' '' Her terse comment was quickly retweeted more than 700 times.
Another Olympic medalist from Massachusetts, Tim Daggett, who competed on West Springfield High School's gymnastics team and won a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics, told the Globe he was "disgusted'' with the MIAA's decision.
"I think it's a travesty,'' said Daggett. "It's an opportunity that isn't going to be there for kids who really love the sport. To not be able to represent your high school in the sport you love, it's very upsetting, without any question.''
Daggett launched his gymnastics career from high school, so he said he finds the MIAA's move to drop the sport especially troubling.
"That's where I came from — high school gymnastics. I didn't have a private club,'' he said. "For me, this is like a shot in the heart.''
Peter Kormann, a Braintree High school graduate who won a bronze medal in the 1976 Olympics, also took issue with Wetzel's characterization of gymnastics as a "girls' sport.''
If "more girls play soccer than boys, does that mean soccer is a girls' sport?'' Kormann said in an interview.
Just because boys' gymnastics, Kormann continued, "doesn't have numbers like football . . . doesn't mean it's not worth doing. It's great for the kids who do it.''
Kormann said he hopes the MIAA board of directors will reverse its decision.
"I think it's a shame,'' he said. "I thought it was a poor decision. There's nothing to be gained here.''
Michael Martin, a former gymnastics coach at Attleboro High School who served on the MIAA's Gymnastics Committee, e-mailed MIAA officials and also implored them to reconsider.
"Boys' gymnastics has been a longstanding tradition in Massachusetts,'' said Martin in his e-mail. "To end MIAA support at this time would be a tragedy considering the low cost to the schools and the MIAA compared to the tremendous educational worth to the boys that participate in gymnastics.''
But despite the outcry, it appears the MIAA is sticking with its plan. Wetzel said that as of Wednesday, there was no indication the board members will change their mind. The board's next scheduled meeting is March 7.
The board of directors
voted 10-2 on Jan. 16 to drop boys' gymnastics from official competition. Teams will finish out the season and the change would occur in the fall, at the start of the 2013-2014 season.
Schools could offer boys' gymnastics as a club sport, but meets would not be sanctioned by the MIAA and there would be no state tournament or championship.
Only boys' gymnastics would be affected; girls' gymnastics will continue as usual.
In calling gymnastics a "girls' sport,'' Wetzel was explaining that, in Massachusetts, the number of schools offering boys' gymnastics is far exceeded by schools with girls' teams.
According to MIAA records, 10 high schools offered boys' gymnastics programs during the 2011-2012 season, and 221 male gymnasts participated on those teams. At the same time, participation in girls' gymnastics was far higher, with 1,252 female gymnasts competing at 97 schools.

Weather, harvest of spring-planted crops and myriad other reasons cause a high percentage of Southeastern wheat to be planted later than optimal in the fall.
The result is a high percentage of spring tillers that require special management to produce top yields.
Fall tillers produce bigger heads and more grain. These tillers are more drought tolerant and disease resistant. The grain in these heads is going to have higher weights, and in general, most of the profit from wheat comes from these fall tillers, according to Randy Weisz, North Carolina State University agronomist.
Spring tillers, by comparison, have a shallower root system and are susceptible to a host of production problems. "If you want spring tillers to develop, when the weather begins to warm up in February and March, you have to make nitrogen available to the plants," Weisz says.
Unfortunately, he says, most wheat fields in February don't have enough nitrogen to do the job.
To stimulate spring tiller development, the grower is going to have to make some management decisions, which cost time and money that are usually in short supply at that time of year.
Wheat fields with a majority of spring tillers are the ones most likely to need a fungicide application.
Same for insecticides, Weisz contends. Cereal leaf beetles prefer spring tillers.
"If you have a field planted on time, with good management practices that has predominantly fall tillers and an adjacent field with predominantly spring tillers, cereal leaf beetles will choose the spring tillers," Weisz points out.
Cereal leaf beetles become a more troublesome pest because of their interaction with nitrogen applications.
It is not advisable to add an insecticide to top-dress nitrogen.
If insecticide is applied very early it will likely fail to control cereal leaf beetle and can actually increase numbers by removing predators.
Carbaryl (Sevin) formulations, though effective against cereal leaf beetle, are not suggested for cereal leaf beetle since the insecticide can stimulate aphid populations in wheat by predator removal and low effectiveness on aphids.
If threshold populations consist of near 50 percent eggs, Karate insecticide may be the best choice due to it's longer residual properties.
Wheat that was planted late in the Carolinas and Virginia is likely to not develop fall tillers, to be just spiking when cold weather starts, and these plants will stay just like that until the weather warms up.
The late winter, early spring management for these fields is much different than wheat planted earlier and has a high percentage of fall tillers that are well developed, according to Weisz.
If wheat has at least 50 tillers per square foot by late January to early February, there has been fall tillering and the crop is probably in good shape.
In these fields, optimum timing for nitrogen applications is early to mid-March. If wheat doesn't have at least 50 tillers per square foot by February, that crop needs nitrogen now.
'The first problem is that most growers don't want to get down on their knees in January to count tillers," Weisz says.
A good rule of thumb that is easy to calculate is to break tillering into three categories and visually check a field in late January to early February.
If you look at a row of wheat and the plant is just beginning to spike, and only has a couple of leaves on each plant, that is about 20-25 tillers per square foot.
If there are open spaces between rows and thin spots where the rows aren't doing well, but you can see all the individual rows, that is about 50 tillers per square foot.
If the rows are closed in and the plants are thick and you can't see much ground that is about 100-150 tillers per square foot.
"If a grower has 100-150 tillers per square foot and decides the first week in February he is going to insure a good yield by applying all 100 pounds of nitrogen planned for the crop, the result will be a 100 percent chance he will have a yield decrease," Weisz says.
"If you have wheat with plenty of fall tillers, don't put a lot of nitrogen out," he concludes.
If you have less than 55 tillers per square foot, put out 20-60 pounds of nitrogen per acre to get maximum yields, then come back in March with the remainder of the nitrogen allotted to the crop.
"Rather than calculating the likelihood that early or late nitrogen applications will provide a yield boost, growers would be better off calculating what affect nitrogen application has on profit," Weisz says.
Last year nitrogen hit a peak in price and from a profit standpoint, application of a split of 20-50 pounds provided most profit potential. If a grower says, "I don't care what the tillers look like, I'm putting out 100-110 pound of nitrogen per acre, that grower is guaranteed he would lose money," Weisz stresses.
If a wheat grower looks at his field the first week in February and can see the rows clearly and determines there are at least 55 tillers per square foot, do not put any nitrogen down. By waiting until mid-March to put out all the nitrogen, he will insure both maximum yield and maximum profit potential, Weisz says.
On the other hand, if a grower looks at his field the first week of February and determines he has less than 55 tillers per square foot, applying nitrogen then will insure both yield potential and profitability.

WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a geomagnetic storm watch in effect for Wednesday and Thursday due to an impending solar storm.
The storm watch is on its lowest level, G1. Levels can potentially peak all the way up to G5, according to Science Alert. NOAA tells ABC News this will be a minor storm.
A solar storm happens when flares from the sun erupt in the sun's atmosphere. When they take place on the part of the sun that is facing Earth, electromagnetic radiation is sent towards Earth. The storm can last minutes or hours.
Scientists aren't sure what causes the Sun to erupt but believe it is correlated with disruptions in the Sun's magnetic field, according to Gizmodo.
NOAA warns that there could be weak power grid fluctuations and there might be a minor impact on satellite operations for spacecrafts. The satellite disruptions could affect things such as GPS systems or commercial flights.
The brightened skies caused by the solar storm will be most visible in Michigan and Maine, according to the NOAA.

Q. Let's step away from besties...What is the worst book that you've ever read and actually finished?
Worst book? Easy. Wuthering Heights. Hated this book. Took me 5 months to finish. I don't even know why I finished it, it might have been because it was supposed to be the most romantic book ever written. Well, I had to disagree. I thought it was a book about two idiotic children who should have just grown up. But that is just my opinion. I know lots of people out there (maybe even some of you) loved it. But this didn't call to me. I do believe in that saying though, this is one of those books that has no middle ground. Either you love it or you hate it. I hated it. And finished it. Feels like a badge of honor, you know? Like a battle wound, to say I went there, hated AND I finished it!

Translated here for the first time into any language, Mountain Doctrine is a seminal fourteenth-century Tibetan text on the nature of reality. The author, Dol-bo-ba Shay-rap-gyel-tsen, was on of the most influential figures of that dynamic period of doctrinal formulation, and his text is a sustained argument about the buddha-nature, also called the matrix-of-one-gone-thus. Dol-bo-ba recognizes two important types of emptiness—self-emptiness and other-emptiness—and shows how other-emptiness is the actual ultimate truth. He justifies this controversial formulation by arguing that it was the favored system of all the early outstanding figures of the Great Vehicle. The translator's introduction includes a short biography of Dol-bo-ba and an exposition of nine focal topics in his religious philosophy.
Note: The hardcover edition of Mountain Doctrine includes a "Detailed Outline in Tibetan" that is omitted in the eBook edition.News & Reviews
"The Mountain Doctrine of Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen is one of the great monuments of Tibetan philosophical literature. For nearly 700 years Dolpopa's work has been a fundamental source of inspiration for practitioners attracted to the definitive meaning of the Buddha's teachings. Jeffrey Hopkins deserves our sincere gratitude for making this profound message finally available to students of the Dharma outside Tibet." —Cyrus Stearns, author of The Buddha from Dolpo
"It is only fitting that Hopkins, who wrote the single most important monograph on the central Buddhist concept of emptiness, should have undertaken to translate Dolpopa's text for the first time. Few others would have been qualified for this challenging task. . . . Contains mountains of material for deep philosophical reflection and once again drives home the point that conceptual differences exist even between awakened masters, and that regardless of doctrinal differences, their fine-tuned teachings can point the way to enlightenment. A magnificent volume." —Georg Feuerstein, PhD, author of The Deeper Dimension of Yoga
"This monumental publication will serve as an invaluable source on emptiness and buddha nature for generations to come." —Buddhadharma: The Practitioner's QuarterlyReader Reviews

thedogandthebone needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 94 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
Get your creative juices flowing because I'm artistically brain dead! I want nothing more than to pay you for showing off your talents and creating a logo for my company. The Dog & The Bone, LLC is a new company providing positive, reward based dog training. The logo should be one the company can also grow into when the services expand into a retail location and training facility. I am begging for your help. This company is my passion and I want you to be a part of it by creating a face for it!
The Dog & The Bone, LLC
My promise to you: I am sure with all the talent here there will be a winner and I will pay promptly! I will leave feedback everyday for every designer between 6pm and 9pm US Eastern Standard Time. I have no interest in asking designers like yourself to provide work in the hope of receiving compensation and not at least committing my time and feedback. I will rate designs as I see them and leave comments in the message board section of the contest so other designers can also see my input. If you would like me to respond to you privately, just let me know.
Company activities/vision: I offer reward and science based, dog friendly training for pet dogs and their owners.Training is private in-home training, but will branch into group classes, and eventually training facility with a retail store. I am also in the process of creating an online retail sales website.
About the business name: The Dog & The Bone is the title of an Aesop fable but it was also chosen because it gave us the feeling of an old English pub. There's a very highend restaurant near us called The Raven and The Peach and we just thought The Dog & The Bone was a cool sounding name. The name can be used in upper and/or lower case and the ampersand can be replaced with another appropriate symbol or with the word "and" if it better suits your design.
Tagline: "Teaching People to Think Like Dogs" I like this tagline because I'm trying to get across the idea of bridging the communication gap and misunderstandings between dogs and their people. The tagline does not need to be incorporated into the logo.
Things I like: Here are links to things I like along with my comments
- This is a fun logo. I'm not a huge fan of the glasses and bow tie but it works for their product line.
- This is a cute design and I like how they were able to give it animation for the website.
You have to scroll to see these logos...
- Three dogs and a girl: I like the simplicity and layout but not necessarily the dogs
- Watch Dogs: I love the simplicity of this logo but would like to see a dog in there somewhere. For some reason this gives me a rugged, active dog impression, not a "let's bring fifi" impression. I like that.
- I like the simplicity of this.
- I like the font she uses for her website pages and I love these little caricatures of dogs she does.
- The logo for Jennifer Quasha (in the center in green) I hate the colors though.
Need more information?: If you want more information or have a question, contact me via PM and I will message you back between 6pm and 9pm US Eastern Standard Time. You can also check out our website http://www.thedogandthebone.com
Thank you for entering this contest and good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing your submissions and working with you in the future on additional projects!
**Please no submissions containing copyrighted material including fonts. I will require a written agreement to be signed giving full ownership of the logo.**
- A design that can be used for a website, print, letterhead, business card, t-shirts, vehicle signage, etc. Basically, everything. I will need it in full color and B/W and in vector format so it can be large and small with an appropriate resolution.
- Original work. Please do not submit others' work.
- Clean, crisp design.
- I have Great Danes so if you can incorporate that into the design I would appreciate it, but it's not necessary. Uncropped ears would probably be better.
- I'm not firm on any particular color schemes
- Dogs given human attributes such as this http://theculturedcanine.net/.
- Small, fuzzy, carry in your purse, type dogs. I like the dogs, but it's not the image I'm looking to portray.
- Metal collars such as prongs and choke chains. Absolutely cannot be displayed in anyway.
- Unoriginal or recycled artwork
- While I do like a lot of silhouette logos they're a bit overplayed. Silhouettes can be used in lieu of original artwork but please make the design it is incorporated into as original as possible.

I must confess that everything about Valentine's Day makes me recoil from it with great speed – it's so cynically marketed and, if you love someone, why do you need to be told to demonstrate it on a particular day? Why not every day?
For the biscuits:
225g unsalted butter, diced and at room temperature
100g caster sugar
200g plain flour, plus extra for rolling
100g ground almonds
To sandwich (optional): nutella or raspberry jam. I suspect any jam or curd would work well.
How to make:
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz until a dough just starts to form.
- Knead the dough into a ball and then wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for 2 hours minimum (it's a very soft dough so needs this long).
- Preheat the oven to 140°C/fan oven 120°C/275°F/Gas mark 1.
- Line two large baking sheets with baking or greaseproof paper.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and knead until it has softened. If it is still sticky add some more flour and knead this in. I added about a further 2-3 tablespoons.
- Cut the dough in half and roll one half out between two sheets of generously floured baking paper. Normally I wouldn't flour baking paper but this dough needed it – use your judgement.
- Roll it out to 1/2cm thick and then cut out using your chosen cutter. If you're planning to sandwich the biscuits take a smaller cutter and cut the centre out of half the biscuits.
- Place the biscuits and the cut out middles onto a baking sheet leaving about 1-2cm gap between them as they expand on baking.
- Repeat with the second ball of dough.
- Bake in the oven for approximately 40 minutes or until the biscuits are a pale golden brown. I was sceptical at a long bake at a low temperature but loved the effect – the biscuit had a much more delicate texture to it. Mine actually took a little over 40 minutes but it's worth it. Check after 20 minutes in case the trays need turning to ensure an even bake.
- Place the trays on a cooling rack and let the biscuits cool. Don't even think about moving them until they are cold as they are too fragile and will break.
- Store in an airtight container until you wish to serve, then sandwich with nutella or jam. Of course, you can leave them plain and enjoy the buttery almond taste on its own!
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Wild's Harding exits Game 4
St. Paul, MN – Minnesota Wild goaltender Josh Harding left Game 4 of his team's Western Conference quarterfinal series against the Chicago Blackhawks with a lower-body injury.
Harding got hurt late in the first period while sprawling out to make a save on Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews. Toews landed awkwardly on the goaltender's left leg.
Harding finished out the period, stopping five of six shots before being replaced by rookie Darcy Kuemper.
The Wild continue to play without goaltender Niklas Backstrom, who suffered a lower-body injury during warmups prior to Game 1.

A FUNNY THOUGHT!--and some more Shameless Advertising
Well, this one's been building up for quite some time. A post today by YGGG #1 on her blog, Genealogy Lines, my reply to her, and her follow up back to me- has brought this to a head, finally!
You must check out her latest blog here, it is excellent and informative. But back to the point of this posting....
I sent her a message that I really liked her blog, thought she did such good research and I am jealous. Her reply to me was "Guess it comes natural...the research. Like pe_ing so much!"
You see, these two Grannies have spent many hours on our famous research jaunts just looking for nice "restroom" stops, planning our searching missions around available facilities, having to take precious time off from more important discoveries, and yes, speeding up a little faster just to make the next stop. YGGG #1's Li'l Red car can really fly when necessary! We eat too many jellybeans and drink too much pop and water which all contribute to our troubles. Then we get a sugar high and start laughing over the silliest of things...and then you know what that leads to with 2 silly old Grannies. She (YGGG#1 makes fun of me for packing extra clothes), but she who laughs loudest --, well you get the point!
May we always have "dry" matches..........or whatever!
Visit us often here (hopefully) or on one of our other blogs: Nebraska Roots and Ramblings, Growing Up Genealogy, Those Old Memories, and Genealogy Lines. They are all great in their own special ways. Besides, you may need new reading after today because WE may not speaking anymore and The You Go Genealogy Girls may be no more!!!
You Go Genealogy girl #2, Why am I always #2?

Now you've gone and done it!! Yes, we do make a lot of stops we would not have made when we were younger. And now the world knows what happens when I giggle. Oh well, it was only a matter of time. We are still together ... simply because I know that you need me as much as I need you!!! Girl #1ReplyDelete

Sherrington: Rangers should considering packaging Ian Kinsler and Martin Perez for Tampa Bay's David Price
Kevin Sherrington, sports columnist for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks and local college sports in a live chat on Wednesday. Here are the highlights.
Curious to know what you think the Rangers will do in regards to trades made and who might be dangled out there. Is Andrus trade bait? How about guys like Olt and Perez?
SportsDayDFW.com: Elvis' value would never be higher, probably, than it is right now. He's under control for two more seasons, he had a terrific year defensively and improved tremendously offensively. He's really coming into his own. Profar projects even better, if you listen to scouts. Maybe more reliable defensively, maybe better range, definitely more power. But do you really turn it over to him next year? I think they're better off putting Kinsler in package with Perez and maybe even another starter for a pitcher like Tampa Bay's David Price. Put Profar at second, give him a full year or maybe two as a starter at the position, then make a decision about Elvis. Maybe they remain as your SS and 2B. Maybe not. But you'd be able to make a better judgment on their futures.
I don't see the value of trading for Ellsbury - the Boras client in a "contract year" - unless Boston will take Kinsler or Cruz and a low minor leaguer.
SportsDayDFW.com: Cruz is going into what will be his final year with the Rangers, if that. Kinsler has five years, $75 million coming. What the Rangers must decide is if this year was an aberration, or will Kinsler return to the 30-30 status he had before? If Profar wasn't ready, I'd say the Rangers had no choice but to hope for the best with Kinsler. Either way, they probably need to get rid of some of that money.

This Russian report seems to indicate that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 may require a persistent internet connection to play. Here is a rough machine translation of the answer to a question about DRM in GSC Game World's upcoming first-person shooter sequel: "Protection from piracy? Part of the content will be located on the server and downloaded as the game progresses. We need constant access to the Internet. Will finish the text information, code and maximum game. Software piracy hurts us to beat, we fight with him, but in moderation. If people can not buy a licensed version, it is to our advantage, so he bought a pirate, and then wanted to buy a license. In Ukraine, there are different products that people love so much that he buys a license in principle. We want to create just such a product." Thanks RPS via Kotaku Aus/GSC.

Last week found Recoton struggling to keep its head above water. This week Gemini Industries tossed the beleaguered company a rope, announcing that it had reached an agreement to acquire Recoton'sconsumer electronics accessories business. In support of this transaction and Gemini's growth plan, the company raised new funding from Boston-based Parthenon Capital.
As part of the new deal, Gemini and Recoton say they have also entered into a transition agreement which, among other things, will provide Recoton's customer base with a continuity of timely delivery of products. Recoton had filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 on April 8, and the acquisition and transition agreements are subject to bankruptcy court approval as well as customary closing conditions.
This isn't the first acquisition for Gemini, which picked up Zenith's accessories business back in July 2001. With Recoton on board, Gemini says it is now one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of consumer electronics accessories in the world. The company's portfolio of consumer brand names includes Gemini's Philips, Zenith, Magnavox, Southwestern Bell, and For Dummies brands, as well as Recoton's Jensen, Acoustic Research, Advent, Discwasher, and Ambico brands for accessory products.
With its increased size and scale, Gemini claims it will now be better positioned to serve the needs of the larger national and international retail chains that comprise the fastest growing channel for distribution of consumer electronics accessories. The company's Michael O'Neal explained, "The acquisition will provide access to new customers, enhance our competitiveness, and put us in a stronger position to serve the large, in many cases global, retailers that have emerged as the marketplace has consolidated."
"This acquisition is a significant next step in Gemini's long-term growth strategy," added O'Neal. "We now look forward to a number of attractive growth opportunities, including further development of our premium cable and wireless businesses."
Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Clifton, New Jersey, Gemini sells over 1800 products, including headphones, antennas, audio/video cables, surge protectors, telephone accessories, and CD media products. Gemini says its primary customers include mass merchant, discount, and specialty retailers such as Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Sears, Best Buy, Circuit City, Menards, Lowes, TruServ, and CVS.

Garage Sale Dresser
Look at the top of this thing--I just couldn't get the rest of the paint off except in that one spot where it had been peeling in the first place.
So this weekend I took everything out into the yard and spray primed it and then spray painted it a nice glossy black. I used one can of primer and three cans of black spray paint.
I have to admit, it was far from perfect--you definitely could see where I wasn't able to get off all the gazillion layers of paint...but I did the best I could and I invested hours and hours into this piece. On Monday night we moved it into the house and I put my new silver colored knobs on it.
What's the matter? You were expecting to see a picture of the piece all finished?! Nope, sorry. Instead you get to see Handsome's smiling face. You see, yesterday (approximately 15 hours after the piece came inside) he took a comb and used it to "paint" the fronts of the drawers. Now there are HUGE scratches all over the drawer fronts and they need to be repainted!
On the plus side, I hadn't actually put anything into the drawers yet anyhow...

Katz, Baseball Pound Grambling, 17-10
BATON ROUGE -- Rightfielder Raph Rhymes drove home a career high six runs Tuesday night and first baseman Mason Katz reached base six times as No. 13 LSU (6-2) outlasted Grambling State (5-3) in a 17-10 slugfest at Alex Box Stadium.
LSU will head to Lake Charles Wednesday to take on McNeese State at 6:30 p.m. at Cowboy Diamond. The Tigers defeated the Cowboys 11-4 on Feb. 22 in Alex Box Stadium.
Right-hander Joe Broussard (1-0) recorded the win for LSU Tuesday after relieving freshman Cody Glenn in the fourth. Broussard and Glenn combined to strike out 11 batters, including the first for batters of the game for Glenn and five straight for Broussard.
The Tigers recorded a season high 19 hits and three triples in the victory. The first four hitters in the lineup registered 13 hits, nine RBI and 10 runs.
"We had a good offensive night and I thought we swung the bats very well," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "We made some adjustments to the lineup and I thought our players responded with a lot of very good at-bats. Our pitching tonight wasn't always what we would have liked, but we still got the job done and earned the win."
Designated hitter Jared Foster, in his first career start in the lead-off position, produced a career high three hits and third baseman Tyler Hanover added a career high three hits and drove in three. Centerfielder JaCoby Jones produced three hits, three runs and two RBI.
In addition to the six RBI, Rhymes had four hits and two runs. Katz reached safely in all six of his at bats, collected three hits and walked three times.
Broussard (1-0) was credited with the victory after working 2.2 innings in relief of Glenn. He allowed four runs on four hits with two walks and five strikeouts.
Grambling starter Joel Deleon (0-2) was charged with the loss as he surrendered 10 runs (eight earned) on nine hits in four innings with four walks and no strikeouts.
Grambling put the first run on the board in the top of the second. After Glenn's strikeout streak to begin the game ended at four, Elias Todman hit a one-out ground-rule double down the right field line that got caught under the tarp.
Hector Mejias ripped liner to center that sailed over Jones's head and to the wall in center. Todman scored on the play and Mejias reached second on the double.
LSU answered in the bottom of the second and capitalized on a pair of Grambling errors. Shortstop Austin Nola drew a leadoff walk and moved to second Hanover's walk. Second baseman Casey Yocom placed a perfect bunt down the third base line and all runners were safe.
Catcher Ty Ross hit a high fly ball to right that was mishandled by Grambling. Nola scored from first and the bases remained loaded with no outs.
Leftfielder Arby Fields hit a grounder to shortstop and Ross was forced out at second, but the throw to first was off target. Hanover and Yocom scored and Fields moved to second on the error.
Foster increased the lead to four and plated Fields on a double to left. Jones brought Foster home on a single up the middle.
Katz kept the rally going and smacked a line drive single off the shortstop's glove and moved Jones to third. Rhymes proceeded to bring home Jones on a sacrifice fly to right.
Grambling cut into the lead in the top of the third. Chris Wolfe hit a one-out single between first and second and stole second. O.J. Simmons grounded out and moved Wolfe to third. Darren Farmer sliced a single up the middle and scored Wolfe.
Thomas Brown hit a liner to center that was just out of Jones' outstretched reach. The hit plated Farmer and Brown was safe at second. Todman stepped in and plated Brown on a single up the middle to cut the lead to 6-4.
Grambling chased Glenn in the top of the fourth after 3.1 innings. After consecutive one-out singles by Jose Longoria and Drexler put runners on first and second, Broussard entered the game for LSU.
Broussard caught Longoria taking off of second early for the second out. He forced Wolfe to fly out to end the threat.
The Tigers upped the lead to 10-4 in the bottom of the fourth. Foster placed a single to center and moved to second on a wild pitch. Jones connected on a grounder back to the pitcher that was mishandled and the throw to first brought the first baseman off the bag.
Foster remained at second on the play. The second wild pitch of the inning moved both runners into scoring position. Deleon walked Katz to load the bags.
Rhymes ripped a two-RBI single to center and Foster and Jones scored. Nola walked to reload the bases.
Hanover pushed a single that the shortstop corralled in the infield, but Hanover beat out the throw, which brought home Katz. Yocom was hit on the next pitch to score Rhymes.
Broussard accomplished a rare feat in the top of the fifth. He struck out the side, but Brown was safe on a wild pitch. He proceeded to get his fourth strikeout of the frame by fanning Todman.
The Tigers stretched the lead to 11-4 in the bottom of the fifth. Foster lined a single to left and moved to third on Katz's one-hopper over the third baseman. Rhymes' single up the middle plated Foster.
Grambling got four back in the top of the sixth off of Broussard. Brian Knuckles hit a one-out single up the middle. Longoria knocked a double down the right field line and Knuckles scored on Rhymes' throwing error back to the infield.
Longoria moved to third on Drexler's ground out. Wolfe was walked and stole second to put two in scoring position with two outs. Simmons blooped a double behind first and just inside the line to bring home both runners.
Farmer drew a full count walk and Brown popped up a single over first to bring home Simmons.
LSU added three insurance runs in the bottom of the seventh. Katz reached base on a two-out walk, stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch. Rhymes plated Katz on a single to left.
After Nola walked, Hanover laced a line drive over the leftfielder's glove. Rhymes and Nola scored on the double.
Grambling put a dent into the LSU lead in the top of the eighth. Reliever Kevin Berry struck out Drexler before Wolfe hit a single and stole second for the third time in the game. Simmons walked and Farmer singled to short and beat out the throw to load the bases.
Brown hit a sacrifice fly to center to plate Wolfe. Todman cracked a single up the middle to bring home Simmons and cut the lead to 14-10.
The Tigers bats struck once more in the bottom of the eighth. Pinch hitter Grant Dozar tattooed a line drive to right center for a leadoff triple. With the outfield playing shallow, Fields ripped a line drive to right center that rolled all the way to the wall for an RBI triple.
Jones hopped on the triple train and blasted his own three-bagger to right, which plated Fields. Katz walked and Rhymes increased his career high RBI total to six on a double to left-center. Jones scored and Katz moved to third on the hit.

I'm back to working on the Olds again, and making progress. Got the radiator support cleaned, the front frame rails are coated with rustproofing solution (and sealed inside with Eastwood's frame coating), and ready to paint. I'm getting ready to go through the 307, and freshen it up with new bearings, rings, and gaskets. I've got a couple of questions for you.
First , I need to clean up the block and heads, and am debating whether to spend the money on getting them hot tanked. The block is not sludged up, but it is dirty, and the heads have some junk in them from sitting so long. The other option I have is cleaning it up myself with cleaner (after I get all the oil galley and freeze plugs out, not to mention cam bearings). The question is, if I clean it up myself, what would be the best way to wash down the block afterwards and still prevent it from rusting? I was told that WD-40 could be sprayed on the block and in the passages to help remove the water, and then the block could be blown out. I also read in Mondello's book that you could wash the block down with hot water and Simple Green and blow it out...problem is that I don't have a hot water outlet in the garage. If I instead have the block hot tanked, what would be the best way to remove the excess residue from the block?
The next question is about honing. If I put new rings in this, I'm going to need to hone the cylinders. I've read in the book where you should use a torque plate when you do this. Unfortunately, I don't have one, nor do I have the funds to purchase one (maybe on my next build...I picked up a 71 350 2bbl with #7 heads this spring, cheap...don't think I haven't thought about using that instead, with a nice 4bbl intake on it!). Is this something I need to do? I want to get this right...been a long time since I've built an engine.

Dinner for Two: Crispy Broiled Scallops and Chorizo
Quick recipes for you and your dinner mate.
Get the Recipe
I have a serious food crush on seafood with pork. In London there's a restaurant called J. Sheekey's Oyster Bar that makes squid and wild boar cassoulet. Be still my heart. And while I can't exactly make cassoulet any ol' night of the week, much less with wild boar, I can still get into that combination of down-home deliciousness and elegance. Enter, my Crispy Broiled Scallops and Chorizo.
To me, cooking for two means limiting not just my time spent, but also my ingredients. I don't want to go out and spend a fortune stocking my cupboard with things I'm only going to use once, and in such a small quantity. And when cooking with just a few ingredients, it's important to make each one count, so that the food is exciting and tempting, not boring.
This dish is the perfect example. I start with scallops, because scallops are sweet and rich and always feel like a treat. But, the bay scallops are cheaper than the big fancy scallops, and they cook much more quickly. Spanish chorizo, another bang for your buck, offers the salty meaty flavor of ham, that gorgeous burnt red smoky flavor of paprika, and tons of garlic.
Toss the chorizo and scallops together; automatically the fat and flavor melts out of the chorizo in the oven and bathes and crisps the scallops. Gorgeous. I top the whole thing with panko crumbs for crunch and fresh baby greens for something light.
I serve these in individual baking dishes, and whether I serve it for just me and Mr. English, or I do the unthinkable and have people over during the week, I have this really impressive, kind of fancy, really delicious dinner in 15 minutes and just a couple of ingredients. If only all things in life were this easy!

POTOMAC, Md. -- Sweden's David Lingmerth won the Web.com Tour's Neediest Kids Championship on Sunday to wrap up a 2013 PGA Tour card, closing with a 4-under 66 in cold and damp conditions for a one-stroke victory over Casey Wittenberg.
Lingmerth finished at 8-under 272 at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm and earned $108,000 to jump from 27th to seventh on the money list with $249,043, more than enough to guarantee a top-25 finish.
"It feels fantastic," the 25-year-old former Arkansas player said. "I've been working my whole life for an opportunity to play with the big boys. This is huge because I've been close a few times. It took me a little while, but this feels great."
Wittenberg shot a 69, missing a 40-foot birdie try by inches on the final hole. He earned $64,800 to regain the money lead with $407,453 with three events left.
Lingmerth won his first professional title.
"I was really calm all day," he said. "You've really got to golf your ball out here. The key ingredient this week was that I finally got to make some putts. I knew I wasn't putting up to my ability this year and I finally found a feeling that I like."
The temperature barely cracked 50 degrees.
"I was actually fist-pumping in the car coming over this morning," he said. "I knew it was going to be lousy weather. This is a good day in Sweden."

MONTPELIER — Some of the most famous 19th-century children's stories written by British author Rudyard Kipling were first put to page in southeastern Vermont near where the world's top Kipling scholars are meeting this week to discuss his works.
From his home in Dummerston overlooking the Connecticut River, the Nobel Prize-winning author wrote ''The Jungle Book,'' starring Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves in the wilds of India, and the hero mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, who saved his adopted human family from poisonous cobras.
He also penned ''Captains Courageous,'' the poems of ''The Seven Seas'' and many of the stories in ''The Day's Work'' and ''Many Inventions'' during his four years in Vermont.
On Monday and Tuesday, some of the world's foremost Kipling scholars are gathering at Marlboro College for the first-ever meeting of the London-based Kipling Society outside the United Kingdom.
The society chose Marlboro both for its proximity to his estate, Naulakha, and for its Kipling collection, which includes the contents of his safe deposit box discovered untouched in the early 1990s after almost a century in a Brattleboro bank.
''We reflected on the fact that Kipling spent his first four married years in Vermont. They were extraordinarily productive years,'' said the Kipling Society's John Radcliffe, who will be traveling from the United Kingdom to attend the meeting. ''He worked creatively and industriously in a settled place that he loved. It was an extraordinarily interesting phase of his life and of his work.''
Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865 and went to England at age 5. He returned to India when he was 16 and began to write for newspapers read by British expatriates. In his spare time, he wrote poetry and stories that formed the basis for his early fame.
''He wrote spell-bindingly for children. He had extraordinary genius for communicating with children,'' Radcliffe said. ''He was a very, very original mind and an original writer.''
Kipling was attracted to Vermont in 1892 by a relative of his American wife. He abandoned the house in 1896 after a spat with his wife's relatives.
He decided never to return after his beloved younger daughter, Josephine, for whom ''The Just So Stories'' were written, died in 1899 during an Atlantic crossing.
Kipling sold Naulakha and 11 acres to a local family in 1903. In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize.

The race for top talent on "The Voice" heated up Wednesday, as the other coaches gave reigning champ Adam a run for his money — and as Blake nabbed two of the night's most fiercely fought-for singers to flesh out his shoestring team.
Adam may have been the coach to beat for most of the four-chair turners last week — but as blind auditions headed into their second week Monday, Blake showed his record as the all-time winningest "Voice" coach wasn't too shabby, either.
He began with Ryan Whyte Maloney, a 33-year-old Michigan-bred father and erstwhile garbage man ready to ditch sanitation, make a reliable living with his music and "be a better dad." His soulful performance of Journey's "Lights" won over all the coaches, who lobbied hard for his chops on their teams.
"You got a high voice. I got a high voice. Let's be friends," Adam said matter-of-factly, while Shakira said she'd heard "so much emotion" in his delivery. But Ryan picked Blake as his coach, crediting his young son with making the decision for him. No matter — the decision pleased Blake regardless. "Adam's the guy who always gets all the four-chair turns. Shutting him down just makes me feel very confident," Blake said.
But Blake's rival coaches picked up plenty of talented vocalists for their teams, too. Shakira lucked out with DeShawn Washington, 23, a Natchitoches, La.-raised nature-lover who been singing since before he could read. "It would mean so much to my family to make a team, because they always dreamed of me doing something like this," he explained of his audition on "The Voice," promising he'd deliver "a unique tone" for the coaches.
That he did, with a modern soulful take on the Sam Cooke classic "Twistin' the Night Away." For much of his 90-second performance it looked like he might not turn a chair — but toward the end, Shakira hit her button, to the chagrin of the other coaches who knew they'd missed out. "Dang it!" Blake said, while Usher praised DeShawn's understanding of soul music. "I'm the only smart one here," Shakira crowed, as she welcomed her newest team member.
Next up was Sam Behymer, a 25-year-old nanny who admitted that she was facing grave doubts about her future as a singer as she weighed the prospect of studying to become a librarian. "Books are definitely my safety zone," she said. "Music sort of pushes me outside of all of this," she added, explaining that her family wasn't the most understanding of her dreams of focusing on her music.
Her performance on the Lorde hit "Royals" piqued Adam's interest, though, and soon after Usher's as well. Her performance grew more and more confident as it progressed, until eventually she was belting some notes and riffing on the song's familiar melody. Usher made a strong pitch for her to join his team, touting his skill at fostering singers' individuality and pointing out how far his team's resident indie pop belter Michelle Chamuel had made it in season four. But Sam sided with Adam nonetheless.
Usher did find a new team member (or two) with the night's only duo act — the Brothers Walker, a pair of red-beareded, bespectacled 26-year-old identical twins from small-town Missouri who performed rollicking country-tinged pop together.
Their take on the Zac Brown Band's "Keep Me in Mind," replete with harmonies and foot-stomping, won a last-second button push from Usher. But their good-natured joking won the admiration of all the other coaches, too. (Their explanation of how small their town is: "We have a stoplight. It just flashes, though, it doesn't actually go green or red. It's just yellow, and it flashes.")
Finally, Usher's fellow returning coach Shakira picked up a team member of her own, her first of the night: Clarissa Serna, a Texan Latina rocker who works for her parents' business by day but moonlights working with a music camp for girls called "Chicas Rock." Clarissa, who said she'd been performing with bands since she was a teenager herself, took on the Cranberries' '90s hit "Zombie," with hopes of turning Usher's chair — and with her hopes of a music career at stake. "It's kind of like a make-or-break situation for me," she admitted.
By the end of her 90 seconds on the "Voice" stage, it was clear that it was the former, thanks to her powerful but haunting take on the distinctive alt-rock anthem (with few of its trademark Dolores O'Riordan flourishes). All four coaches had turned their chairs — Adam and Shakira early on, with Shakira singing along to the song before standing up in her chair, a grin on her face, to play air drums. Usher turned only at the very end.
"Oh my God, all four of y'all...?!" an overwhelmed Clarissa exclaimed, kicking off rounds of praise from the coaches — plus a strange ancient historical analogy from Shakira that conjured images of elephants crossing the Alps. "Are you gonna end up with a bunch of Hannibals over here, or are you gonna end up with Alexander the Great?" she asked.
So much for the Hannibals, even Usher. "I've gotta go with my Latina soul sister, Shakira!" Clarissa decided.
That "Latina soul sister" tack didn't work so well on the next contestant Shakira fought for, though. Melissa Jimenez, a professional singer with some past successes who was playing with her dad's band while seeking her next one, said she was taking the "Voice" stage to "prove that I'm not going to quit."
She guaranteed that almost 90 seconds into her performance of Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You," some lines of which she sang in Spanish, when both Usher and Shakira pushed their buttons with moments to spare. Shakira promised Melissa that if she picked her as her coach, "you're going to be unstoppable," but that was apparently no match for the names Usher dropped in trying to woo Melissa to his team. She sided with him.
Adam picked up another member for his already-strong team with Patrick Thompson, who performed the Marshall Tucker Band's "Can't You See" with a distinctive, soulful rasp that Blake insisted was befitting of his barrel-chest stature and plaid shirt, and which he said sounded like the product of "gargling with broken glass." Blake raved about Patrick's sound, but perhaps unnerved by that grotesque image he'd conjured, Patrick picked Adam as his coach.
It would seem a hard row for Blake to hoe — even the country-tinged singers siding with Adam — if it weren't for the surprise victory he won with the final performer of the night, Sisaundra Lewis, a 44-year-old preacher's daughter and veteran singer who had grown up in Florida orange groves eventually to become a mom and even Celine Dion's vocal director. She tackled Aretha Franklin's "Ain't No Way" with poise, emotion and gorgeous vocal chops, winning over one coach after the other, starting with Shakira and ending with Usher.
Blake gave by far the most rambling nonsequitur of a sales pitch. "I am completely in over my head... How do your ears hold that much weight?" he asked, with a nod to Sisaundra's admittedly enormous metal earrings. "I would buy your record if it came out tomorrow," he added, clearly overcome.
But Blake's bumbling struck a chord with Sisaundra, and in a decision that seemed to shock all the coaches — not least Blake himself — she picked him as her coach
They'd all get another chance to vie for more four-chair turners, and singers to fill out their fledgling teams, when blind auditions continue Tuesday.
"The Voice" airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC.

return [import, "get", ["tests.makeVector"]]
Revision as of 10:27, 18 April 2007
An object declared as, for example
def foo implements pbc { to __optUncall() { return [1, "add", [2]] } # ... }
will be passed-by-construction across CapTP. This means that its __optUncall() method will be called on the sending side, the elements of the result triple will be passed, and the corresponding triple as received will be called (here, as "E.call(1, "add", [2])") to create the object as received.
The first part of the example is a maker for a 2D Vector. The created vectors are Pass By Construction, they should pass the guard :pbc. The method __optUncall is a [Miranda_Method miranda method]. When the vector is copied to another [vat], the method __optUncall is called by the CapTP networking subsystem of E. The result of the method is used to recreate the object in the destination [vat]. This code should be positioned in a file in the java classpath at the location "tests.makeVector.emaker"
def makeVector implements pbc {
to run(var x, var y) { def vector implements pbc { to getX() :any { return x } to getY() :any { return y } to __optUncall() :any { return [makeVector, "run", [x,y]] } to __printOn(out) {out.print(`<Vector $x $y>`)} } return vector } to __optUncall() :any { return [<import>, "get", ["tests.makeVector"]] }
Example of usage:
- create a new Vector object
? def makeVector := <import:tests.makeVector&lgt;
- value: <makeVector>
? def vector := makeVector(6.6,7.7)
- value: <Vector 6.6 7.7>
- create a new vat
? introducer.onTheAir()
- value: ["3DES_SDH_M2", "3DES_SDH_M"]
? def seedVatAuthor := <elang:interp.seedVatAuthor>(<unsafe>).virtualize((introducer))
- value: <virtualSeedVat>
- source code for the new vat
? def scriptSource:="def run(thing :pbc) {println(`Thing: $thing`)}"
- value: "def run(thing :near) {println(`Thing: $thing`)}"
? def [scriptObj, vat] := seedVatAuthor(scriptSource)

? scriptObj <- run(vector)

Unsurprisingly, lower level PUGs have been proliferating in WoW since the Shattering (ie. last week). On the Horde side, we've been particularly lucky in that two of the new class combos (tauren paladin and troll druid) are both extremely popular and are also both tank/heal hybrids.
So happy times for my new undead hunter, at least until I decided to stop running instances because I really didn't want to outlevel the zone quests. (Yes, even with the new instance xp changes.)
On the whole, most PUGs have been fine for me. This is partly because protection paladins are insanely overpowered at low level, particularly with heirlooms (they may also be overpowered at high levels, we'll see this week). There has been the occasional rubbish group but very much the minority. But the behaviour in one group really did puzzle me. Some people!
We were in Ragefire Chasm which is the very lowest level instance available in the dungeon finder. So it's fairly expected that players are still getting used to their classes, and that it's the first instance they will have run with these characters.
But one of the other guys (the healer I think) kept complaining that the druid tank wasn't going fast enough. He got so heated about it that it was at the point of 'pull faster or else we'll boot you.' Unsurprisingly, the tank left. I asked afterwards, "Why were you being such a jerk, he was doing fine."
One of the other players said, "SHUT UP!!!" (like, he was really really bothered by me challenging the other guy.)
The guy I was asking replied politely, "I just wanted to encourage him to go faster."
Remember: this was just Ragefire Chasm and the tank had been doing fine. I get that the healer was such a muppet that he thought 'gogogo or we'll boot you' was a polite and acceptable way to suggest slightly faster pulling rates. (I think leaving the group was the exact right response to this, it's what I would have done too if I'd been tanking.) But why did the other guy lose his rag when I asked about it? That's what puzzled me.
It came from the Guild Group
Also this week, a very different instance experience. One of the newer players in our guild reached 80 on his/ her character and we decided to go help them get a cool bronze drake (which requires a 'speed' run through heroic Culling of Stratholme.)
There was a long pause at the start in which everyone said something along the lines of, "Wow, it's been ages since I ran an instance with an all guild group." (There is actually a special icon that shows on your minimap now when you're in an all guild instance run, featuring your guild emblem.)
So we whipped through the instance as though it was butter –- that's a bad metaphor, let's say as though it was cream instead – since a couple of ICC geared dps will tend to do that. There was even time for some banter while waiting for the various NPCs to do their thing.
And the new guy was really happy with the cool drake. And – here's the thing – I think the rest of us were also really happy to have gotten together and helped him get it. There is, I think, a sense of achievement in working together as a team in favour of a common goal that we sometimes miss in the world of random LFD instance runs and individual rewards.
So I'm definitely looking forwards to more guild runs in days to come.

Any pearl-clutching over Serena Williams doing Tampax ads seems kind of strange when you consider that the Women's Tennis Association was sponsored by cigarettes — specifically, Virginia Slims — for 20 years.
According to The New York Times, the people at Tampax don't even care that Williams threatened to shove a tennis ball down a line judge's throat.
"We didn't ever consider dropping Serena," said Courtney Schuster, a Tampax brand manager. "She accepted responsibility and apologized for what happened, and we think that demonstrates the strength of her character."
In the '80s, Olympic gymnasts did ads for Stayfree and Tampax, but, writes, Andrew Adam Newman for the Times, "an athlete of Ms. Williams's currency and renown has never been a spokeswoman." The New York Post called the ad (seen above) "uncomfortably graphic" — maybe because, unlike other ladyproduct spots which refer to a mysterious blue liquid, Mother Nature actually uses the word blood.
But the ad is actually pretty damn funny, and shocker: Ladies bleed. Celebs have replaced models on magazine covers and shill everything from Louis Vuitton to Smart Water to Tide pens and eyelash thickeners. Why not menstruation products?
Over on True/Slant, Caitlin Kelly writes:
I love the funny, frank, playful way this ad addresses what every woman knows can be an uncomfortable or embarrassing annoyance. Not your period, but not being ready for it… Women are cool, tough, powerful. And get their periods.
Exactly! So why stop at Serena Williams? Surely Gwyneth Paltrow uses some kind of pantyliners for her GOOP. The Kardashian family must use a heap of Kotex. Where are my Angelina Jolie-approved tampon travel cases?!?!

Q. Can I install a panelboard in a bathroom or closet?
A. Overcurrent devices must not be located near easily ignitable material, such as in clothes closets [240.24 (D)]. The reason for keeping overcurrent devices away from easily ignitable material is to prevent fires, not to keep them out of clothes closets. Overcurrent devices must not be located in the bathrooms of dwelling units, or guest rooms or guest suites of hotels or motels [240.24 (E)]. The service disconnecting means must not be located in a bathroom, even in commercial or industrial facilities [230.70(A)(2)].

Vicki Polin, Senator James Brochin, Rabbi Nochum Rosenberg
November 26, 2008 - Pikesville, Maryland
The Awareness Center, Inc. presented Rabbi Nochum Rosenberg with the first annual "RAPE VICTIM ADVOCATE OF THE YEAR AWARD" -- in recognition of his dedication, determination and also for risking his life in hopes of helping those who have been sexually abused in orthodox Jewish communities around the globe .
Presenting the 2008 award was Maryland's Senator, James Brochin and Vicki Polin, Founder/Director of The Awareness Center, Inc.
The Awareness Center leads the way on child abuse reform efforts
By Ron Cassie, Special to The Examiner
Baltimore Examiner - November 28, 2008
Brooklyn Rabbi Nochum Rosenberg, facing physical threats for speaking about child sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community, received the first "Rape Victim Advocate of the Year" award Wednesday from the Awareness Center in Pikesville.
Vicki Polin, director of the Awareness Center, a Jewish coalition against sexual abuse, said Rosenberg's plight highlights problems Jewish victims have stepping forward in Baltimore as well.
In Baltimore, rabbis are doing everything they can to discourage people from going to the police, said Polin, estimating she's met with at least 100 Baltimore-area Jewish survivors of child abuse in seven years.
The kids are threatened with being kicked out of Jewish day schools. They are stonewalled in the community.
The award presentation at the Pikesville Library served as one of a series of events recently organized by the Awareness Center and the Child Victims Voice of Maryland, working to abolish the state statute of limitations on civil lawsuits involving child sexual abuse.
Currently, victims have criminal, but not civil, recourse after their 25th birthday.
Studies show only 10 percent of victims of childhood sexual abuse ever report it, most not until they are in their 40s, 50s and 60s,†Polin said.
Susan Brien, an Annapolis consultant and child sexual abuse victim, said the bill presented by state Sen. Dolores Kelley, D-Baltimore County, should have bipartisan support.
This is a child protection measure. Do I want the right to sue the guy who abused me 25 years ago? Yes, but the guy who abused me in 1978 was 23 years old at the time, and he's still out there, she said.
At a meeting Monday in Frederick, Ava Miegdzinski said a neighbor sexually abused her 5-year-old sister.
The lawyers talked my parents out of filing a lawsuit because they said the other side attorneys would tear my sister apart, Miegdzinski said.
That makes us so mad today.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Bring the water to a boil in a medium sized, heavy, ovenproof saucepan. Add the rice, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, until rice is nearly cooked. In a large bowl, whisk the soymilk, sugar, and salt. When the rice is cooked and still hot, add the soymilk mixture and cinnamon stick. Cover, place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven, uncover, and remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pudding will be slightly liquidy; the liquid will continue to absorb into the rice and thicken as the pudding cools. Distribute among 8 bowls, drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of the condensed milk. Dust with cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Help us discover the possibilities of the four names by designing one logo
or several logos for us! Information about each name possibility:
Make It Count- this logo could resonate with young people and remind them that their voice does count in issues that are important to them and empower them to realize that their actions can make a difference.
Generation Lead- captures the essence of leadership qualities, close-knit communities and high achieving culture that young people embody. This logo design could embolden them to be leaders of their generation.
Opportunity Unlimited- displays the momentum and possibilities that this generation has in front of them. This logo design could capture the cutting edge technology & endless opportunities that young people have to get involved.
America Rising- we want to put an edgy twist on this classic name and focus young adults on the advantages of being young in America. Help us inspire them to stand up and be young entrepreneurs.

Week 51 - Friday
by, September 20th, 2013 at 08:42 AM (931 Views)
We had power cuts throughout the night and a pretty big storm with heavy rain all night. My wife saw on her phone that power was out throughout our town so I decided to wait for the power to come back on before heading to the pool. The drive took 15 mins longer than usual and when I arrived the pool was already full except my lane which people had left open for me. Today's workout was long and a little boring but I was tired by the end.
