At the weekend we went to Lowedges Festival, which is a community event organised by Greenhill & Bradway Tennants Association. Like most events in Sheffield, which always surprises me, it was free entry. The festival was a great day out for the whole family, including stalls, fun fair rides, car boot sale, food & drink on tap. One of the attractions was the classic cars, including cars dating from the 1920's – 1970's.
I'm not a car buff so will be honest I have no idea the make and model of most of the cars there. But I can still enjoy the aesthetics of these vechicles.
These cars may not be the environmentally friendly or as fuel efficient vechicles that we produce today but there is a lot to be said for the style. They definately are in a class of thier own and look a lot better than some of the cars that are produced today.
These fine examples of motoring history are just a few of my favourites that I captured while at Lowedges Festival.

Details - What a wonderful discovery Giba Gunyah was !!
We took our little terrier down for a few days and all 3 of us had a great time. Jennie was a wonderful host and the breakfast basket with fresh laid eggs and freshly baked bread was lovely.
Our "tuff" dog was wide-eyed on his first day out of the city. His nose was in over-drive and when put face to face with his first horse he was completly stumped..
We had great walks along the river and up through the paddocks and the hills behind the cottage.
The 2nd cottage on the property was designed for wheelchairs and looked nice from the quick peek we had on one of our walks.
There was also dog bowls, and a dog kennel outside. Our 4 legged stayed in front of the fire with us though :o)
Some things to note:
There is no phone line to the cottages (perfect for us).
The side gates around the stone cottage are a little low..if your dog likes jumping, this would be no challenge.
We had a great break and give it a 5 bone

ItŌĆÖs now an alternative. The new absorption heat pump technology is added to the options of customers who want to increase their buildingsŌĆÖ energy performance. The results of the demonstration project are available after more than one year of continuous measurement. This is a promising technology, because it is the only one that can provide heating temperatures higher than 45┬░C (115┬░F) by adapting it to a geothermal system. It is also the only technology that can operate as air source heat pump (ASHP) from outdoor temperatures as low as -29┬░C.
The versatility of natural gas, which achieves 95% heating efficiency levels by condensing water vapour from its own combustion, is thus reaching new highs. Its efficiency now achieves levels ranging from 120% to 135%.
A successful demonstration
In spring 2005, Gaz M├®troŌĆÖs DATECH Group undertook a commercial demonstration of the performance and reliability of natural gas ground source heat pump, a first in North America. The Montr├®al engineering firm CIMA+ integrated a natural gas geothermal option into its plans and specifications for renovation of one of the multiple buildings of the Benny Farm housing complex. Unlike the complexŌĆÖs other buildings, the 24 units belonging to Soci├®t├® dŌĆÖhabitation et de d├®veloppement de Montr├®al (SHDM) accepted this option. The costs of this implementation amounted to $140,000 for five vertical wells 168 metres deep and three Robur heat pumps with a single-pump capacity of 38 kW (130 MBh) for heating and 18 kW (5 tonnes) for air conditioning.
The buildingŌĆÖs original cast iron hot water system was kept for greater comfort and due to the fact that it can handle lower temperatures efficiently. Startup of the units was in March 2007, and after one year of mea-surement, the results meet the reliability and efficiency expectations.
An excerpt of the efficiency results measured on a monthly basis by the Natural Gas Technologies Centre (NGTC) is also presented below. They corroborate the manufac-turerŌĆÖs specifications (G.U.E. is similar to COP). Note that as in any geothermal project, efficiency varies according to the temperature of the well (evaporator) and the heating temperatures (condenser). The physical accuracy of the possibility of obtaining a temperature of 60┬░C (140┬░F) on the evaporator could have been verified.
Comparative application scenarios
Two theoretical scenarios of the heating needs of these 24 housing units were simulated for comparison: a hot water-heated radiant floor system (low temperature) and a cast iron heat transfer system (medium temperature). For each scenario, three technologies were evaluated on the basis of a standard heating installation to define the energy cost of the different possibilities.
Scenario 1
Considering that geothermal electricity requires auxiliary backup (70%/30% rule), we find that for the same new commercial building, geothermal natural gas would not necessitate auxiliary heating for use of the same ground sink, while the energy costs of heating would be totally comparable.
Scenario 1: THEORETICAL COMPAriSON OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS RELATED
TO A PROJECT WITH HOT WATER-HEATED RADIANT FLOORS (evaporator input T┬░ = 5┬░C; condenser output T┬░ = 46┬░C (115 ┬░F)
|Basic volume for a standard installation Building heated with conventional equipments (75% efficiency) ŌĆō Reference volume 52,800 m3/year or $28,456/year (2000 Gj/year) at 20% ECDear)
|Condensing boiler
|Geothermal with electricity
|Geothermal with natural gas
Scenario 2
On the other hand, for higher temperatures, as in the case of a medium or high-temperature water system, it is not adequate to use geothermal electricity, because the compression technologies do not produce the desired performance with CanadaŌĆÖs soil temperatures.
Scenario 2: THEORETICAL COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS RELATED
TO A PROJECT WITH A CAST IRON HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM (DEMO PROJECT) (evaporator input T┬░ = 5┬░C; condenser output T┬░ = 60┬░C (140┬░F)*
|Basic volume for a standard installation Building heated with conventional equipments (75% efficiency) ŌĆō Reference volume 52,800 m3/year (2000 Gj/year) at 20% ECD
|Condensing boiler
|Geothermal with electricity
|Geothermal with natural
* Note that the measured average temperature of the buildingŌĆÖs heating loop was 120┬░F but that theoretically it could be 140┬░F.
An efficient technology for modernization of existing buildings
Most of the time, the hot water heating systems of existing buildings do not operate at low temperatures as in the case of radiant floors. The design temperatures range from 50┬░CŌĆł(120┬░F) to 90┬░CŌĆł(200┬░F) at input. Yet the feed water temperature of geothermal electrical heat pump is rarely higher than 45┬░CŌĆł(115┬░F). Above this temperature, the life cycle of geothermal compressors decreases very rapidly. In fact, at a feed hot water temperature of more than 45┬░CŌĆł(115┬░F) and a well temperature of 1┬░CŌĆł(35┬░F), it is possible to end up with unpleasant surprises, because very high mechanical stresses are exerted on the compressor. This is not the case with natural gas absorption technology.
In cooling modes, the absorption heat pump is less efficient than the electric heat pump. Therefore, within the context of modernization of an existing buildingŌĆÖs heating system, the option of dehumidifying only the air make-up during hot weather could prove to be an inexpensive and efficient air conditioning solution, by storing energy in the soil in summer for reuse in winter geothermal heating. Furthermore, within the context of the right energy in the right place, there is good reason to believe that air conditioning can be accomplished with electrical technology while heating can be achieved by natural gas absorption heat pump technology, all through geothermal wells common to both technologies. (see Magazines Gaz Qu├®bec, Autumn 2007, and La Ma├«trise de lŌĆÖ├ēnergie, March 2008).
Moreover, given that its COP is lower, it was estimated that geothermal natural gas necessitates a ground heat exchanger 40% shorter than conventional geothermal, for identical heating needs. This can turn out to be a compromise solution for well drilling investments.
In conclusion, it is interesting to note that units can also be installed both indoors and outdoors, but this time using air instead of soil as the heat sink. These units are natural gas ASHP (see above image). Since absorption heat pumps do not have a mechanical compressor, they can withstand extreme temperatures and thus can operate at temperatures as low as -29┬░C. This contrasts
with the usual air-to-air heat pumps, which operate down to -5┬░C. These air/water units can also heat water to 60┬░C (140┬░F).
Finally, water-to-water absorption heat pumps can be used very efficiently in any industrial or commercial heat recovery project.

Italian Reading Comprehension 3
Journalistic passage dealing with the area of climate and the environment. Analyze the passage for its main points, discover some vocabulary associated with climate and environmental issues, and look for grammatical details.
Fighting Back! (Lesson)
This lesson describes the major components and functions of the immune system and the role of engineers in keeping the body healthy (e.g., vaccinations and antibiotics, among other things). This lesson also discusses how an astronaut's immune system is suppressed during spaceflight due to stress and other environmental factors.
Just Passing Through (Lesson)
This lesson helps students explore the functions of the kidney and its place in the urinary system. Students learn how engineers design instruments to help people when kidneys are not functioning properly or when environmental conditions change, such as kidney function in space.
Landfills: Building Them Better
Waste disposal has been an ongoing problem since medieval times. Environmental engineers are employed to develop technologies to dispose of the enormous amount of trash produced in the United States. In this lesson, students will learn about the three methods of waste disposal in use by modern communities. They will also investigate how engineers design sanitary landfills to prevent leachate from polluting the underlining groundwater.
Who's Down the Well?
Drinking water comes from many different sources, including surface water and groundwater. Environmental engineers analyze the physical properties of groundwater to predict how and where surface contaminants will travel. In this lesson, students will learn about several possible scenarios of contamination to drinking water. They will analyze the movement of example contaminants through groundwater such as environmental engineers must do (i.e., engineers identify and analyze existing contaminatio
Oil Spill
This lesson will allow students to explore an important role of environmental engineers: cleaning the environment. Students will learn details about the Exxon Valdez oil spill, which was one of the most publicized and studied environmental tragedies in history. In the accompanying activity, they will try many "engineered" strategies to clean up their own manufactured oil spill and learn the difficulties of dealing with oil released into our waters.
Eek, It leaks!
During this activity, students will try to construct model landfill liners out of two-inch strips of garbage bags within resource constraints. The challenge is to construct a bag that will hold one cup of water without leaking. This represents similar challenges that environmental engineers face when building a liner for a real landfill.
How Full is Full?
During this activity, students will learn about porosity and permeability and relate these concepts to groundwater flow. Students will use simple materials to conduct a porosity experiment and use the information to understand how environmental engineers decide on the placement and treatment of a drinking water well.
Is That Legal? A Case of Acid Rain
The goal of this activity is to understand how techniques of persuasion (including background, supporting evidence, storytelling and the call to action) are used to develop an argument for or against a topic. Students develop an environmental case study for presentation and understand how a case study is used as an analysis tool.

I am officially a Oiselle ambassador!
Oiselle makes extraordinary running clothes for women. The design is clean, sporty and modern. There are no boring paisleys, hoaky florals or in-your-face street rat prints. The colors are imaginative but tasteful. They don't just recycle the tired formula of black, bluish and pinkish season after season. The fit is streamlined and not size-inflated. And the performance is top-notch. But what I love most about Oiselle is that they are the labor of love of a small but mighty group of women runners in Seattle who believe women should be able to wear what they love when they run. And based on their Twitter feeds and Facebook page, they have an awfully fun time plying their trade.
I got turned onto Oiselle when I discovered their running tees. So much to love in a simple t-shirt! Oiselle's tees showcase the soul of the company and speak to women runners in a way that I've only seen from marketing behemoth Nike – except Oiselle would never be caught dead making a t-shirt like this.
Oiselle's motto is "go fast, take chances." While I can't represent fast like the some of the elite and ambassador runners on the team, I can represent the sense of daring that thrives in so many runners. That gumption that spurs runners to trot up that massive hill after staring at it, contemplating, "How bad could it be?" That desire to push beyond what's known. Those moments when we ask ourselves: "What if I turn that corner on this trail? Wonder if there'll be a view?" or "OK, I've run a 10K, what would it feel like to run a half marathon?" The chance we take when we decide to try running despite never having been active before. That's what my Oiselle racing singlet will stand for.

Do you know that essay writing may be not only an ordinary assignment for students? I mean that when you know, what you should write in your essay, and how to do it in the best way, you may create a wonderful piece of work and be proud that you are the writer of cheap essay service!
Nowadays students find a very interesting way out – they prefer to buy cheap essays and do not worry about writing their own projects. Well, is it always good to buy such cheap essays and cut yourself with the possibilities to create your own works, where your thoughts and ideas are presented?
For example, you have a task to write an essay on such topic as The Role of Parents in Your Life. Do you think that a cheap essay may reproduce your ideas concerning this topic? I think it is a disaster! It will not take a lot of time – all you should do is to think a bit about your parents and tell how important their presence in your life.
Here I want to help you to concentrate a bit on such kind of writing, and warn you against using different cheap essays.
To write an essay about parents is not easy. It is necessary to find appropriate words, create logically connected text, follow the structure and present interesting for your readers information.
It will be not catching, if you just write that your love your parents, and that you are proud as they gave you a birth. It is too simple and too much predictable. It is not for you. You should be more creative. Remember the day, when you realized that you could not live without them. Point out the reasons, which make you respect them. Write something unordinary about these people in order to share your happiness to be a son\daughter of such people!

One Month Post Boston
Time flies. It really does. And at the same time, so much can happen in such a short amount of time. I guess that means life passes by pretty quickly too. Must. Get. Busy.
One month ago today, I woke up with excitement, hope, and determination. I woke up with plans to do the thing that I had spent the last four months of my life training for. It was a beautiful day and I knew I would end that day with a medal around my neck and pride across my face. I couldn't have been more wrong.
A lot has happened since then and a lot has changed. This is what one month injured, in the hospital, and on the mend have taught me:
1) Shitty things happen. I get to choose how I'm going to deal with them.
2) Will power is an incredible resource. Every day I get to decide how I'm going to help myself.
3) Perspective changes. If you had told me six weeks ago I wouldn't be running for six months, I would have thought the world were coming to an end. Now I realize it's not that bad.
4) A healthy body matters. My recovery is going incredibly well. The doc and PT say my active lifestyle and health have made a big difference.
5) Everything changes. From health and fitness to hospital beds and walkers, nothing stays the same. This too shall pass.
6) Pain is temporary. The pain I felt that Monday afternoon and the pain I felt after my surgery were immense. Now it's all just a distant memory.
7) Things change (and many times, it's not your decision). I had big plans after Boston and for the 2015 race. I've since had to readjust and I'm okay with that.
8) The race is long. That one day in Boston I thought I would finally have my chance to prove myself as a runner. It didn't happen, but I know it wasn't my last chance. Another opportunity awaits me.
9) My can'ts have become my can's. Before my surgery there were many things I thought I couldn't do. Or I wouldn't do. Now that I don't have an option, I know that I can.
10) Life goes on. The world did not stop for my suffering and neither did my life. The days continue and what was once so vivid and painful, grows fainter and fainter with each new day.
I am grateful for everything that has happened to me. It has put me on a different path for now, and that's okay. I'm learning to venture out of my running comfort zone, to do things other than exercise like a crazy lady, and to appreciate the fact that every day I have a choice. Every day, I get to choose to be happy, choose to be determined, and choose to embrace my suffering. Having part of my identity taken away is hard but it's as hard as I let it be. But perhaps the thing I am most grateful for is the fact that I finally feel like my hips are fixed. For so long I've been off balance and out of whack, which caused so many of my injuries. Now I can finally feel what it's like to stand evenly on two feet. It's actually quite amazing. Perhaps the pain caused by this injury today is what will help me to find my place in the future.
It's all up to me.
Happy Trails and Happy Running,
(PS: One week from today I get to start exercising again. This has been my longest break from exercise since I was in high school. I wonder what next Monday will have in store for me.)

5 Stats on Millennial Buying Habits
Millennials – the first truly digital generation – aren't kids anymore. Ranging in age from 18 to 34, many of the generation that has officially taken over the baby boomers in size (75.4 million) have settled down with careers, homes, and kids of their own. Along with these changes comes greater spending power. Accenture estimates millennials spend $600 billion a year.
That's a figure that has retailers doing a double-take. But, while millennials present a huge market opportunity, they're also an enigma. As savvy digital users with high expectations of brands and low regard for advertising, this generation requires different tactics from retailers who seek to reach them.
For a taste, take a look at the following stats that illustrate millennials' digital consumption behaviors:
1 – Seventy-three percent of millennials report that they make purchases directly on their smartphones.
(Source: BazaarVoice)
Are you surprised? Probably not. But, it is likely that you're not as prepared for a mobile-first world as you'd like to be. To succeed in 2016 and beyond, retailers will need to offer a consistent, responsive brand experience across desktop, mobile, and tablets. Omni-channel campaigns with touchpoints across devices will be the next step in engaging a generation that jumps between platforms with ease.
2 – Ninety-eight percent of millennials are more likely to engage with a friend's post over a brand post. (Source: Social Chorus)
When looking for advice on what to purchase, a brand's ad isn't the first place they go. Now, millennials seek opinions from friends, families, or even strangers. Brands will need to bridge the trust gap with engaging, relevant content and a special emphasis on user-generated content.

3 – Eighty-four percent of millennials report that user-generated content has at least some influence on what they buy.
(Source: BazaarVoice)
UGC – anything from an image collected during a photo contest to a customer product review – is an essential aspect of any content strategy. Allowing millennials to speak for the brand (versus being spoken to by it) will open up channels of communication and, ultimately, generate trust.
4 – One-third of millennial consumers say they have more fun browsing for items than actually purchasing them. (Source: The Intelligence Group)
Flipping through products on an app is pretty entertaining, but actually buying them? Not as much. Research shows us that millennials are more into browsing than buying. That puts the onus on retailers to move them down the path to purchase. Strategies such as targeted Facebook advertising and on-site social curation tools can give the push this group needs to close the sale.
5 – Sixty-four percent of millennials say companies should offer more ways to share their opinions online.
(Source: BazaarVoice)
Since millennials were young, they've had access to interactive forms of entertainment and education. They're used to being heard. That expectation extends to brands. Providing more ways for your fans to express themselves – through social contests, user-generated content, or customer care channels – will help you build relationships with this vocal group.

text: I covered several high school sporting events this weekend, all in terribly lit gymnasiums and behind schedule. With both of these situations I need to be my toes a lot more. To handle the bad lights I needed to use a flash, which makes me more selective of that specific moment to hit the shutter since I can't fire off multiple frames a second. The events being behind schedule just puts pressure on the amount of time I have to shoot before I need to edit and transmit back for deadline.

The Drum Corps International Tour is finally here! The entire 115-event series kicks off this Saturday in the Lone Star state, and if your personal level of excitement has been slow to build, here's a list of things to put you in a feverish frenzy for the opening weekend of the 2011 summer season.
1. 8 Great Corps Picking Up Where They Left Off
For the very first time in Drum Corps International history, the top eight corps from last year's World Championship will start the new season together as they go head-to-head in two season-opening events in Texas.
In any previous season, it sometimes took several weeks for West Coast corps to meet up with their East Coast counterparts. This season, the pressure is on from day one with the World Champion Blue Devils' two-season undefeated streak on the line, and a bevy of other top corps looking to come out strong competitively from the start. Both corps and fans alike are sure to be on pins and needles anticipating the outcome of the first events of the summer of 2011—as well as those that follow.
It all gets started on Saturday, June 18 in the Ft. Worth area, as the Blue Devils, Cavaliers, Bluecoats, Carolina Crown, Cadets, Phantom Regiment, Santa Clara Vanguard and Blue Stars square off at Saginaw High School. The same eight will head to Austin the next night to do it all again at the Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex.
Learn more about the DCI Ft. Worth event.
Learn more about the DCI Austin event.
2. Scoring Suspense
The official scores from the DCI Ft. Worth and DCI Austin contests will not be released to the public—or the corps—until Monday night.
DCI's brand new cinema event, the 2011 Tour Premiere, is coming to movie theaters nationwide on Monday, June 20. To add a new level of excitement to this unprecedented season-opening weekend, competitive scores from Ft. Worth and Austin, will remain unknown to the corps, the public, and the rest of the drum corps universe; and will be kept in a secured location, locked away from all but DCI Executive Director Dan Acheson until the broadcast is readied for digital satellite distribution to theaters from coast to coast.
Scores from both events will be revealed exclusively at the conclusion of the Tour Premiere, which will be taped live in Austin and broadcast in high definition to more than 400 theaters on Monday.
3. Fan Voting
Though official scores will be held until Monday, fans attending the season-opening events on Saturday and Sunday in Texas, will have the power to pick those night's respective winners!
At the end of each event, audience members will be able to vote via text message, allowing them to rank each of the eight performing corps. Fan votes will be tallied and announced after drum majors come back onto the field at the finale of the events in Ft. Worth and Austin.
4. The 2011 Tour Premiere
Can't make it to Texas in person? Here's the next best thing! DCI's first of two summer cinema events will be coming to more than 400 movie theaters across the nation on Monday, June 20. This first-ever 2011 Tour Premiere will be taped in Austin and broadcast to drum corps fans hungry for some early-season drum corps action.
Hosted by veteran DCI broadcasters Steve Rondinaro and Dennis DeLucia, the Tour Premiere will feature inside looks at the repertoires of the entire field of World Class performing corps, along with interviews with show designers, and glimpse ahead at the entire 2011 summer season.
Never before has the season-opening performances of the annual DCI Tour been brought to a national audience! Be there to witness history in the making!
Find a theater in your area, and order your tickets in advance.
5. A Full Tank of Summer Drum Corps Action Ahead
After this weekend's kickoff competitions in Ft. Worth and Austin, there are 113 more exciting events to go! The 2011 Drum Corps International Tour will be coming to 40 states across the country this summer, featuring more than 45 corps and 57 days of the best of Marching Music's Major League;&trade. While the competition heats up and the action has its twists and turns, one thing is for sure; an entire summer of fun-filled excitement is ahead for everyone. See you in the stands!

Andy Murray will face Novak Djokovic in the Indian Wells semi-finals after a 6-3 6-4 win over Feliciano Lopez.
On another hot afternoon at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, the Scot broke Lopez once in the opening set and twice in the second to wrap up a commanding victory in an hour and a half.
Murray will next face top-seeded Serb Novak Djokovic, who was gifted a place in the last four when Australian Bernard Tomic pulled out of their quarter-final on Thursday, citing a back injury.
Tomic, ranked 32nd, had reached the last eight at an elite ATP Masters 1000 event for the first time with a 6-4 4-6 6-4 victory over compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis in the previous round.

Things I Miss When I Take a Break from Social Media...
When you spend more than an hour glued to social media, you need to take a break. That was me for most of last year, so I turned off all notifications and went into hibernation mode where the social network was concerned.
Doing that is very freeing. Unfortunately, it makes you miss things like this:
Congrats to the entire cast and crew, but more importantly, many many MANY THANKS to all the people who voted for us!

Gamblers At Costa Earn Instant Gratification
The crossover between bingo and traditional casino games is complete. Now, most online bingo houses and casino halls offer games which would have once been considered the sole bastion of either, and certainly not both.
Costa Bingo, now one of the most popular online bingo houses, has used its free bingo concept to bring the whole spectrum of online gaming to its players – epitomised through its comprehensive catalogue of instant games..
While free games of 75-ball and 90-ball bingo may have been the sites primary fare, Costa Bingo was one of the first sites to recognise the potential offered by online casinos. The sites administrators – renowned for their relationship with their fans, another key reason for Costas rapid rise to the top – listened to the clamour in Costas buzzing chat rooms for something extra. They wanted something different, something new. That something was instant games, aside from the many games of bingo.
Today, Costa offers 13 different instant games, which are as popular amongst regular players as any of the other games on the site. The beauty of instant games is the very fact that they are exactly that, while even bingo game takes longer to complete. Instant games give players the opportunity for instant gratification – a quick gaming fix with some great prizes. Costas Winners Board regularly shows instant winners netting cool sums up to £1,000 – an enticing draw for any player.
For bingo players the allure is plain, and the same is true for those coming from a casino background. Amongst all the casino games, only roulette offers anywhere near the same time-played-to-winnings-made ratio. Any poker player will testify to the need for a large bankroll for any online game, whether it is for a friendly round or tournament buy-in. Instant games are a useful way in which gamblers can raise a bankroll from a short outlay, extending potential table-time.
Away from instants, Costa has forged a reputation as one of the freshest bingo providers online. This is an ethos that they have carried forward to their instant games, offering a huge variety in their instant portfolio. Titles like Scratchcards and Quickfire Lotto appeal to the more traditional gambler, while Hi-Lo, Hi-Lo Shuffle and Video Poker are nods to those casino-goers looking for a reminder of home. Male players will be drawn to titles like How The West Was Won and Arcade Horses, while Love Lines and Hollywood Stars appeal to lady players.
Variety, it seems, is truly the spice of life. It was this variety and fresh approach built on the solid mass appeal of free bingo. New players, buoyed by winnings from free bingo games, quickly realised that there was more to online bingo than bingo.
For many, instant games are a unique opportunity to get maximum gratification for minimum effort, with all the fun and playability of their favourite bingo or casino games in a bite size format. Today they are as much a part of the online bingo landscape as games of 75-ball and 90-ball bingo, and now prove some of the most popular online. As online gaming becomes increasingly widespread the future looks bright for instants, and for Costa Bingo.

UNION TWP. � A Moon Area High School special education teacher suffered �major injuries� when his car struck a dump truck on Interstate 376 in Lawrence County early Thursday, state police said.
Joshua Prigorac, 27, of 1278 Chapin Road, Neshannock Township, was driving south at about 6:15 a.m. on I-376 between Routes 422 and 224 in Union Township when his car rear-ended the truck, police said.
Police said the truck driver, Mark Bush, 53, of 4520 Hillsville Road, Pulaski Township, was not hurt.
Prigorac, who is from Aliquippa and is engaged, was flown by helicopter to St. Elizabeth Health Center in Youngstown. Hospital officials said on Saturday that Priograc is a trauma patient, meaning they are unable to release information on his condition.
He started his teaching job at Moon Area in August, district spokeswoman Megan Edwards said Friday.
Edwards said students were told of the accident Thursday and counselors were available at the school for students and teachers.

When I left religion, I gained a happiness and peace I had never felt before.
Religion taught me I was made
out of dirt, and dirt is what I became.
To never be happy with what I am,
to live my life in shame.
Science taught me I was made of
stardust, the stars in the sky above.
Science taught me all Life is related;
Science taught me to love.
Religion taught me we are tainted
with sin, and must be burned in Hell.
Burned like trash, disgusting trash,
unredeemable and unwell.
I am not filth to be burned, or
dirt to be swept up by god.
I share a kinship with Life, the
Universe, however it may be flawed.

The HBO fantasy drama, based on the books of George RR Martin, will battle it out for the title of Outstanding Drama Series with Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, House of Cards, Mad Men and True Detective.
Sherlock, Fargo, Orange Is the New Black: Emmy nominations in full
Game of Thrones stars Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey and Dame Diana Rigg also all won nominations for their work on the show.
True Detective also did well in the nominations - with both Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson winning Lead Actor shouts - while Fargo grabbed a nod for Outstanding Miniseries and recognition for stars Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton, Allison Tolman and Colin Hanks. The FX drama was in second place in the total number of nominations, picking up 18.
Freeman was actually a double nominee, also picking up a nod for his role in Sherlock - as did his co-star Benedict Cumberbatch. The news means that he will be going up against Hanks in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Movie category.
To win the Outstanding Miniseries prize, though, Fargo will have to overcome American Horror Story: Coven, Bonnie and Clyde, Luther, The White Queen and Treme.
Other double nominees included Allison Janney - for Masters of Sex and
Meanwhile, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Idris Elba and Mark Ruffalo also won Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie nods, while the Actress side will see Helena Bonham Carter, Minnie Driver, Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Cicely Tyson and Kristen Wiig doing battle.
Elsewhere, Downton Abbey made plenty of noise in the Drama shortlists; along with the Outstanding Drama Series nod, stars Michelle Dockery, Dame Maggie Smith, Jim Carter, Joanne Froggatt and Paul Giamatti all received recognition.
The Lead Actor in a Drama Series category includes Bryan Cranston, Jeff Daniels, Jon Hamm and Kevin Spacey against the True Detective leads, while the actresses hoping to beat Dockery to an Emmy are Lizzy Caplan, Claire Danes, Julianna Margulies, Kerry Washington and Robin Wright.
Over on the comedy side, four-time winner Modern Family will attempt to retain its crown against Louie, Orange Is the New Black, Silicon Valley, The Big Bang Theory and Veep.
Modern Family stars Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ty Burrell and Nathan Lane were also recognised, while Netflix's Orange Is the New Black won nominations for Taylor Schilling, Uzo Aduba, Laverne Cox, Kate Mulgrew and Natasha Lyonne.
Louis CK, Don Cheadle, Ricky Gervais, Matt LeBlanc, William H Macy and Jim Parsons will do battle for Lead Actor in a Comedy, while the actresses hoping to beat Schilling are Lena Dunham, Edie Falco, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Melissa McCarthy and Amy Poehler.
On the reality side of the Emmys, The Voice was nominated - but American Idol missed out. The Amazing Race, Dancing with the Stars, Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance and Top Chef all made the cut.
The Emmy nominations were announced by Carson Daly and Mindy Kaling in Los Angeles today, and the ceremony will be broadcast on NBC on August 25. You can read a full list of the nominations here.

I heard on the radio recently that now is the time to buy chillies, so decided now was the time to try making sweet chilli sauce. And this one really was easy-peasy - even more so than the mayonnaise. There is quite a range of recipes out there with more or less ingredients. I went for the most basic but the results were fantastic and I see no reason to mess with it. I love that four simple ingredients can create something better than you can buy, and that it's so easy.
But (I'm sorry there's a but). The challenge is with the chillies. Firstly, you need to find them. I rang Moore Wilsons to check that they had them in (they did), and I needed half of what they had on the shelves. It wouldn't have taken many sweet chilli sauce makers in town to have taken them all. And secondly, they're expensive. I made a small bottle of sauce and it cost me a whopping $7 in chillies. So, much as I would love to make this a regular in my house, it may have to be a rare treat. Give it a go so that you know what you're missing out on, and then we might all be inspired to grow our own chillies. Now there's a topic for another day.
You'll need a stick blender, food processor or some kind of effective chopper for the chillies.
I used a recipe from taste.com.au but reduced it to one third to make a small bottle and save (quite) a few dollars. Below is the reduced version, it made me 1 cup.
Sweet Chilli Sauce
160g red chillies
1 garlic clove
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup caster sugar
Slice the chillies in half, and remove the seeds & discard from approximately 3/4 of them. Put all the chillies in to the blender, along with the garlic and approximately 1/4 of the vinegar. Process until finely chopped.
Put the chilli mixture in to a pan and add the rest of the vinegar and the sugar. Stir on a low heat for about 5 minutes (until sugar has dissolved), then bring to the boil. Turn down again to a low heat, and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
You may like to replace some of the chillies with red capsicum/peppers. I love my sweet chilli on eggs, on cheese and crackers for a 5pm snack, and mixed in with plain yoghurt and chopped fresh mint as a dip.

The daughter of a Circus Ringmaster/Producer & a NICU nurse, Katie Gorsky is the wife of Dairy, Hay & Grain Farmer Wayne Gorsky, mom of Joey, 10 and George 1. She's just as comfortable driving a truck in a corn field as in Times Square and has done both in the same day. In between battling a brain injury and attempting to keep up with laundry, dishes and perpetual vacuuming (farm boys have LOTS of dirt) Katie manages her own Tupperware team from their Saratoga County home. What is your typical schedule like during the week? Our weekday mornings begin around 7:30 with the hubby and Joey getting ready for work/school and George and I getting ready for our adventures. By 9 it's George & I, I tidy up, I make lists, we read books, play with balls, drive tractors in the living room before heading out on the deck to climb on slides and get wiggles out. Somewhere around 11:30-12 there is a snack and nap time for the boy. While he naps I finish up the tidying, scratch things off my list, rotate laundry, check emails, eat "breakfast"…sometimes, service clients, work on the budget, plan projects, bake, preserve and whatever else is calling my undivided attention. Post-nap is onto more playing and reading, George's lunch and such. Joey arrives home around 3:30 to have a snack, get the mail, and do homework until it's time for his chores, playtime and dinner. Both boys are in bed by 8. Then I work on prepping dinner, blogging, researching, Tupperware, whatever I didn't get scratched off the list during the day. The hubby arrives home anywhere between 10 & 12 midnight we have dinner, catch up and crash around 1ish.
Of course, that's a typical day. Those happen…oh….twice a week? Most of the time there are wood deliveries, farm visits, farm equipment part retrieval, Joey doing evening chores (feeding all the calves at the farm and helping to milk the cows), 4H, and other delightful distractions:) There are always lists though, always.
What do you find tricky about your current set-up/schedule? What would you change if you could? The trickiest part is finding a budget balance during the week between staying put (saving gas) and the boys not seeing Daddy other than 5 minutes in the morning. Living at/near the farm would eliminate that conundrum, but isn't a current opportunity.
What do you like best about your current set-up/schedule? That coffee is not optional? :) I get to spend time with my boys, work my Tupperware business around their needs, I have the flexibility to help my hubby when he needs me and my boys see firsthand what life/work/responsibility looks like.
What are some of your top must have products for the parenting part of your life? What are some non-mom must haves? Must haves? CAR! (We're 12 miles from the farm, I drive a lot/way more than I'd like to.) Amazon Prime—I love shopping local. When something isn't available locally I pop on Amazon and it's on my porch in two days, sometimes the next morning. It costs $5 in gas to run to Target…Prime is a huge budget helper in $4 gas land. My mobile phone that I never talk on—it keeps me connected to the world via fb/text/email, on top of customer needs, trackable when the hubby needs a part picked up or lunch delivered; it's my phone, gps, amazon-enabler, camera, and pretty much how I look like I accomplish anything with a brain injury and a 1yr old.
If you had an extra hour in the day you would spend it…? I don't think every day would be the same. Sometimes sleep, sometimes scratching things off my list, writing more notes to random people in my address book (The people aren't random, I know them. I started a few years ago dropping a few notes in the mail every month to a few of my friends and family, I didn't like Christmas being the only time I sent notes.) Oh…maybe I would *finally* attack the baskets of pictures that need to be introduced to the albums I've already bought and are sitting next to said baskets. Someday I will actually sew again and my Aunt Anne says I need to take a quilting class. She's right.
What advice would you give to other moms about how to balance work and life? Do what works! While I'd be okay if my hubby had one day a week/month/year off, our scheduling works for us. Don't worry about fitting into a cookie cutter or measuring up next to the Jones'. With your partner discuss your goals, write them down and work toward them. It is about finding YOUR right balance, not someone else's.
Is there anything you find yourself doing as a parent that you swore you would never do before you had kids? Scooping soggy ceral/pasta/mystery mush out of the kitchen sink drain. I still think it's gross, but my mom lives in Florida…I can't wait for her to do it!

A new service called @sggst (pronounced 'suggest') that enables Twitter users to find the best prices for products has launched its beta service in the UK.
Twitter users who include @sggst and the name of a product in a tweet, receive a tweet back with a link to buy the product at the best price available on Amazon.
London, UK - Friday 21st January 2011.
With over 190 million users sending over 2 Billion tweets per month, it is estimated that 20% of tweets are brand-related. Whilst you can already search Twitter, a new product search tool called @sggst enables users to use Twitter to search for products sold by Amazon.
The service works by recognizing tweets that have mentioned @sggst along with other content and then, using an Amazon API, @sggst queries the Amazon product database. A link is then tweeted back to the person who sent the original tweet. They can click and buy the product from the link and @sggst earns an affiliate commission on the eventual purchase.
Currently @sggst queries the Amazon UK database, but there are plans to roll out the service globally and with other major retailers. Any retailer with an API and an affiliate scheme is eligible. @sggst was the brainchild of digital media entrepreneur Jonathan MacDonald, MD of specialist agency JMA, co-founder of business and marketing consultancy
This Fluid World and campaign personalisation service, Human Dialogue. To build the service, Jonathan MacDonald partnered with a leading web agency, Netro42, whose clients include MSN, Northern & Shell, Top Gear and Land Rover. @sggst is jointly owned by JMA and Netro42.
Jonathan MacDonald said: "I was originally inspired by the Penn State research at the end of 2009 which found that 20% of tweets were brand-related. At the same time there was a great deal of talk about Twitter trying to find revenue models. I looked into what would actually be valuable to people, rather than just putting adverts in tweets, and came up with the idea to use Twitter to find the best prices on products".

|[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-5546) ResultSet#updateBigDecimal on a REAL column does not do underflow checking
|Wed, 06 Feb 2013 04:21:12 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5546?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13572136#comment-13572136 ] Dag H. Wanvik commented on DERBY-5546: -------------------------------------- Hmm, no I am no longer so sure that DataTruncation is applicable here: Cf. the below analysis. SQL 2011 4.4.2 Characteristics of numbers "A number is assignable only to sites of numeric type. If an assignment of some number would result in a loss of its most significant digit, an exception condition is raised. If least significant digits are lost, implementation defined rounding or truncating occurs, with no exception condition being raised." The SQL state DATA_EXCEPTION_STRING_DATA_RIGHT_TRUNCATION (22001) would seem *not* to fit. The SQL state WARNING_STRING_DATA_RIGHT_TRUNCATION_WARNING (01004) would seem *not* to fit. The SQL state DATA_EXCEPTION_ERROR_IN_ASSIGNMENT (22005) and others e.g. DATA_EXCEPTION_NUMERIC_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE (22003) would seem to fit. JDBC specification 4.1 (quote) "The DataTruncation class, ------------------------ a sub-class of SQLWarning, provides information when data is truncated. When data truncation occurs on a write to the data source, a DataTruncation object is thrown. The data value that has been truncated may have been written to the data source even if a warning has been generated. When data truncation occurs on a read from the data source, a SQLWarning is reported. A DataTruncation object contains the following information: : ■ the SQLState "01004" when data truncation occurs on a read from the data source ■ the SQLState "22001" when data truncation occurs on a write to the data source : The SQLDataException class -------------------------- Table 8-1 specifies which NonTransientSQLException subclass must be thrown for a a given SQLState class value: -------------------------------------- | 22___ | SQLDataException ! -------------------------------------- " [Aside: this would seem to conflict the instructions earlier under DataTruncation to throw the class for 22001, but let's assume the instruction to use DataTruncation overrides this one... ] Also: SQLDataException can be thrown for vendor specific reasons. Note that both DataTruncation and SQLDataException are tied to SQL state 22___. The former is a SQLWarning, the latter is a full SQLException. So, agaian, for what subcodes of 22___ should one use DataTruncation or SQLDataException? The SQL standard itself specifies many 22___ states, all of which have the name prefix "DATA_EXCEPTION". For 22001, which JDBC ties to DataTruncation, the SQL name is DATA_EXCEPTION_STRING_DATA_RIGHT_TRUNCATION. For 01004 which JDBC ties to DataTruncation, the SQL name is WARNING_STRING_DATA_RIGHT_TRUNCATION_WARNING. So this all leads me to wonder whether DataTruncation should only be used for string types (thrown or reported as the case may be), and numeric types should throw SQLDataException (if most significant digits can't be preserved), or be silent if rounding/truncation of least significant digits occur. > ResultSet#updateBigDecimal on a REAL column does not do underflow checking > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-5546 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5546 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: JDBC > Affects Versions: 10.8.2.2 > Reporter: Dag H.

You learn from it. You don't ignore it or forget about it. You just try to process it and do what you can do to get better from it. —Quin Snyder
SALT LAKE CITY — Before the question could be fully asked concerning how the Utah Jazz will move on after getting drubbed 137-110 Sunday evening by the Houston Rockets, Ekpe Udoh offered an answer at the team's practice Monday afternoon.
"Next game," he interjected. "We've got Philadelphia tomorrow."
Such is the reality of the NBA schedule, as the Jazz will have to put Sunday's game in the rearview mirror after allowing All-Star James Harden to tally a career-high 56 points, the Rockets to score 48 points in a single quarter and Houston to make 59 percent of its 3-point attempts.
But while Udoh surely wants to forget about the game, it did mark the squad's second consecutive contest in which it put forth a poor defensive performance (it lost to the Toronto Raptors 109-100 on Friday night), which certainly is a big negative for a team that both wants and needs to be elite on that end of the floor.
"You learn from it," head coach Quin Snyder said. "You don't ignore it or forget about it. You just try to process it and do what you can do to get better from it."
Asked if trying to be elite defensively every night is a challenge, forward Joe Ingles offered a rather direct response.
"It's not hard," Joe Ingles said. "It's part of the game. Sometimes you're going to miss shots. We've had nights where we've missed shots but we've won games playing defense. For us, that's what we need to do and that's the way we're going to be a good team. It shouldn't be hard."
Although in both the Toronto and Houston games the Jazz had bad third quarters defensively (the team gave up 36 points to the Raptors and 48 to the Rockets in the frame), head coach Quin Snyder feels that's more coincidental rather than something that needs a big adjustment coming out of halftime.
"We've got to have more resolve," he said. "It's not just the third quarter. It's throughout the course of the game."
Coming to town for Tuesday night's tilt is a Philadelphia 76ers team that is starting to show this season that "The Process" it's gone through over the past few years of tanking to obtain high draft picks is paying off.
Riding a four-game winning streak, the 5-4 76ers are above the .500 mark for the first time since November 2013, although they'll be without leading scorer Joel Embiid, who will rest on Tuesday night.
While Philadelphia will be without a player who is averaging 20.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per contest, it still will have the early frontrunner for Rookie of the Year, 6-foot-10 Ben Simmons, who plays point guard.
The Australian was the first pick of the 2016 NBA draft but missed his entire rookie year because of injury. He has started this season incredibly fast, however, posting averages of 18 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game thus far.
He has registered two triple-doubles through Philadelphia's first nine games.
"He's very, very poised with the ball, even against smaller guys that get up into him," Snyder said. "He just knows how to play, and that's why you see the triple-doubles."
Tip time for Tuesday's game is set for 7 p.m.
DONOVAN MITCHELL JINX?: Snyder was asked Monday about rookie Donovan Mitchell's role after the rookie led Utah in scoring for the second consecutive game.
Snyder continued his refrain that the coaching staff is just trying to help the youngster get better, but quipped that, "every time we talk about a guy leading us in scoring, he ends up having a bad game, so hopefully we didn't jinx him."
AUSSIE CONNECTION: Even though there are just a handful of players from Australia in the NBA, Ingles said he doesn't know Simmons very well.
"He's Australian, I know that," Ingles joked.
After saying he'll speak to Simmons on Tuesday before the game, Ingles was asked to guess whether or not the do-it-all 21-year-old has a poster of him in his room.
"I wouldn't be surprised," Ingles said. "No, you'll have to ask him that."

Man collapses and dies during 5km Park Run in Nottingham despite fellow runners' desperate efforts to save him
The runner was given CPR after falling to the ground in front of shocked onlookers
A MAN has died after he collapsed during a 5km park run despite fellow runners' desperate efforts to save him.
The 43-year-old was taking part in the weekly Forest Rec Park Run in Forest Recreation Ground in Nottingham on Saturday morning.
James Herbert, 33, and two other runners tried to save the man by doing CPR moments are he fell to the ground while running in front of them.
But he was sadly pronounced dead at 10.30am at Queen's Medical Centre.
James said: "We'd just got to the top of the hill and he, all of a sudden, fell flat on his face.
"Myself and two other runners - they were both doctors - ran over to him, flipped him over and started doing chest compressions."
We'd just got to the top of the hill and he, all of a sudden, fell flat on his face.James Herbert
Nottinghamshire Police conformed the death was not being treated as suspicious.
A report is due to be sent to the coroner.

CAMBODIA'S judges and court officials may have a poor understanding of the Kingdom's controversial anti-human trafficking legislation, leading victims to be "re-victimised" as their cases proceed through the legal system, a new report suggests.
The report, released yesterday by the Cambodian Centre for Human Rights, found problems associated with attempts to prosecute cases using the 2008 Law on the Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation. CCHR trial monitors observed 18 trials between August and
December last year and found evidence to suggest that judges need a better understanding of the laws they are implementing.
"It is clear that the application of the law has been inconsistent at best and incorrect at worst," the report says.
Though trial monitors found that judges usually informed suspects of the charges they were facing and the relevant laws, they also found that satisfactory explanations were rare. This finding, the CCHR report says, "casts doubt on the judiciary's understanding" of human trafficking laws.
The report says that many victims involved in human trafficking cases are juveniles, and that courts may be ill-prepared to deal with young victims.
"The data revealed no clear evidence that the courts possesses a deep understanding of issues relating to juvenile justice," CCHR stated.
In one case, a defence lawyer for a 51-year-old man accused of forcing an 11-year-old girl to perform sex acts was permitted to ask the victim questions in a loud, intimidating voice. The trial judges, meanwhile, frequently left the courtroom and spoke on their telephones.
In a separate case, trial monitors suspected that a 19-year-old suspect was allowed to contact his 6-year-old alleged victim before the trial. The victim's lawyer also did not ask that her identity be kept secret.
The rights of the accused, as well, may not be adequately protected, CCHR found. Trial monitors found that public notices for human trafficking hearings were rarely posted, and that unacceptable delays to trials were common.
In one case, a hearing was delayed five times. In most cases, delays were attributed to lawyers or judges who failed to show up to hearings.
"Undue delay of trials is not only a violation of the rights of the accused, but can have negative psychological impacts on the victim as well as increasing the opportunities for intimidation of the victim prior to testifying," it states in the report.
Trial monitors raised "major concerns" over the length of pretrial detention. In one case, an accused person was held in pretrial detention for 20 months – five times the maximum allowed.
The report did note some positive findings. Trial monitors were pleased to find a high proportion of female lawyers representing female trafficking victims, with 11 of 15 trials that proceeded to court including female lawyers.
In June, the United States state department removed Cambodia from a watchlist of countries judged to be making insufficient gains in fighting human trafficking, saying the Kingdom had stepped up the apprehension and prosecution of offenders.
American officials have noted "confusion" in the government's implementation of the trafficking law, however, as "trafficking" was sometimes conflated with non-coerced sex work and other offences.
Minister of Justice Ang Vong Vathana said yesterday that he could not comment because he had not yet seen the report.

Delightful one-pot din-din/
Tonight was a fairly regular cooking challenge: use only what you already have in your fridge/freezer/pantry. A chicken breast, fresh whey, coconut milk, brown rice, an onion, a bit of aging cauliflower, leftover garbanzo beans, Meyer lemon zest and a few other hints and hollers combined, over stages, in one pot to make a lovely, healthy meal for Mr. T and me. It's fun to experiment, and as long as you adhere to what needs to be cooked when, how long and with what, you'll rarely err. I may have later had too much leftover bread pudding, and now I really must go finish teacher gifts, but goodnight and happy almost-Wednesday to you all!
