Sean Bedford will be able to play in Saturday's game against Wake Forest, and backup Jay Finch should be available as well, coach Paul Johnson said after Wednesday's practice.
If, for some reason, they can't play, Zach Krish and Ray Beno have been getting ready.
Krish was center for the last seven series of last week's loss to N.C. State.
Krish, a redshirt senior, and Beno, a redshirt freshman, played center in last week's loss to N.C. State after Bedford left the game with an injury (shin). They split time at the position on Monday and Tuesday.
Krish, a former walk on from South Gwinnett High who earned a scholarship, has played guard and tackle for Tech, but until last week had never worked at center.
He said he's comfortable with making the line calls because he knows what is supposed to be done, and he feels that the other players on the line recognize that he knows what's going on.
He's extremely intelligent (a civil engineering major). Someone said that Krish may be smarter than Bedford, an aerospace engineering major who is considered one of the smartest players in all of college football.
Krish said the toughest part has been getting used to the snapping motion, so he's been working on that as much as possible this week.
"I'm just trying to play football, is all I'm trying to do," Krish said. "I'm just trying to learn everything as best I can."

Beno was struggling this Saturday and Josh was paying a price for that. We had to fill this hole on our line or Wake Forest would exploit that on Saturday. Here's hoping Krish can hold down the fort.

Doug, I was aware that Bedford got injured in the game, but I didn't know Finch was hurt as well. Could you update us as to what exactly their injuries are – and when they can be expected to play?

We were able to contain your option crap enough last year, when you reached your climax of potency.
This year, not only does your defense suck, your "offense" does too.

Deacon Baller,
Let's see … 9 wins, including breaking the streak against Georgia in 08 … beat Va Tech and Florida State last year (as well as, hmmm, Wake Forest?), and an ACC championship in 09 … yeah, I'd say the 3O is working out OK.
Thanks for asking.

Sean needs to try to play if he can. Beno did ok last week, but the Center QB exchange needs to be smooth for sure. Krish knows the line calls! That is great but I hope he can get the snap smooth.
September 29th, 2010
4:26 pm
I disagree, I think WF has a solid shot at a blowout here. 500+ yards on defense won't help the '3O' either

Deaconballer can't be a true Wake Forest fan, everyone knows they don't have any balls.

I had a few buddies in Civil and do not understand how a football player can have that major and find enough time for either…many labs.
The rain will be gone by Sat PM and it should be cool….wonder if Wake will wear white?

How miserable a person must be to have a "conversation" with themselves on a football blog…
September 29th, 2010

Hope he can make the line calls and have a smooth snap. No offense to Beno but that was killing GT against NC State. KId probably nearly stroked out when Bedford got hurt. Speaking of Bedford how does a kick to the shin do this much damage? Makes me wonder if it was not more of a stomp?
September 29th, 2010
5:18 pm
I'm an actual Wake alum who is also a huge Tech fan (a familial requirement).
My take is the Tech O should roll. The Deacs smallish d-line, in combination with a slow bunch of backers should translate into big rushing days for all.
The real question is whether Wake be able to score enough to turn this into the shootout it was last year. This I'm not too sure about. The Deacs struggled against Stanford's 3-4 and we just got shut out by FSU. But everyone in this space is well aware of the Jacket's defensive struggles so we'll see.
The one game where my love for the Jackets waivers. Best of luck to both squads.
Go Deacs!

I've been wondering the same Ramblin Man…I had recorded the game on my DVR but when I got home from the game I was disgusted and deleted it thinking I would never want to watch it again. I think it is probably still up on the worldwide leader in sports 3 .com website…but I don't have access to that at work..only at home. If I can remember I'll at least watch that one play again and see if there is anything to see.
September 29th, 2010
5:36 pm
The question is can Wake score enough to keep it close by the 4th Qt?
September 29th, 2010
5:54 pm
krish is in grad school right now mastering in civil engineering and doing very well in the program. its ridiculous that he plays football and takes full load of grad school courses. this kid deserves mad props for his academic endeavors. its nice to see him getting playing time and hopefully he pans out. we could certainly use a conference win after last week.

Joeygt, it's probably because he's not blocking a whole heck of a lot. He's awesome with the ball in his hands, and he'll get his shots. But, he's got a little maturing to do and our team REALLY needs better blocking right now.
No way Deacon is an actual Wake fan or even a true college football fan. A Wake fan would not rag on ANYONE's offense at this point. A true football fan would know that Wake got shutout last week and ROCKED by Stanford. It's obviously a UGA homer who is oblivious to the fact that they've lost three in a row. Don't worry, it'll all be over in three months (maybe two the way UGA is playing w/ games still against UT, UF, GT and even Kentucky might be tough). Stay classy dude!

I will never consider colorado a national champion that year… they were given 5 downs to win a game and tech was undefeated!
1990 National Champions Georgia Tech! That's it.

Professor John A. Kuehner
A polarized deuteron beam was used to initiate a (d,α) reaction on an even-even target with the detection of the reaction products near 0°. A model independent technique is utilized which allows the parity of a nuclear state (natural or unnatural) to be determined from a measurement of the tensor analyzing power T₂₀. In addition, it is possible to identify 0¯ levels uniquely.
This reaction was performed on a doubly-magic ⁴⁸Ca target. The resulting isotope ⁴⁶K may therefore be treated as a proton hole and a neutron hole in a ⁴⁸Ca core. As a result of this simple shell-model picture, several investigations into the spins and parities of the low-lying states of ⁴⁶K have been conducted. However, some of these model dependent assignments have yielded contradictory results - hence the need for this study.
The ⁴⁸Ca(đ,α)⁴⁶K reaction was carried out at 4° with bombarding energies of 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 MeV. For a given beam energy, spectra obtained with the incident deuterons preferentially polarized in the m=0 substate were compared with spectra obtained with polarized deuterons in the m=1 substate. The following parities were deduced from the levels in ⁴⁶K: ground state, 0.69, 1.74, °1.94 MeV levels (unnatural parity) 0.59 and 0.89 MeV levels (natural parity). In addition, a tentative natural parity assignment was made to the 1.37 MeV state. The resulting spin-parity combinations are found to be consistent with the most recent set of measurements by Daehnick et.al.².
Pandya calculations were made in which the order and separation of the lowest levels of ⁴⁰K were obtained from the ⁴⁶K levels. As a result of configuration mixing, the calculations bear little resemblance to the experimental ⁴⁰K spectrum. A discussion of configuration mixing effects is also provided.

Something Personal; Ryan Conferido [11]Everyone. I am so sorry for the late update on this story. My computer has recently been in the shop, getting repaired and I have been so lazy. I promised to update more but have sadly, failed to do so. But, here is the newest installment to this series. I would also, like to thank Quizilla user, 'Gonda,' for messaging me about her thoughts on my story. Thank you, Gonda, for encouraging me to write more. :) Well, everyone, here is chapter 11 of 'Something Personal.' I hope you all enjoy it.
On the way to the restaurant, Ryan and I remained quiet. From time to time, we would smile towards each other and laugh slightly at pedestrians crossing the street in front of us due to their reactions when they noticed that it was Ryan Conferido sitting in the drivers seat in the car before them. Once we arrived at the restaraunt, Ryan parked his car and unbuckled his seat belt, before turning to me and notifying me about the plan when we would soon enter the restaurant.
"Girlfriend," Ryan said as he smiled slyly, facing me. I let out a small giggle and replied "Yes, boyfriend?" Becoming his significant other was so unreal. So calling each other 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend' was kind of comedic. Taking my hand into his, Ryan said "I want to introduce you to my dance crew. My closest friends, if you will. I want them to see why you make me so happy. So, when we walk into that restaurant, just act like yourself, okay?" I hesitated for a moment; meeting new people? Especially Ryan's closest friends? Knowing me, I am the shyest person when it comes to first impressions, which is why my first impressions particularly are unimpressive.
I nodded to Ryan, giving him a light smile, as he gave me a quick peck on the cheek, before we slowly made our way out of the car and into the dining area, Ryan and I hand in hand. I walked into the dining area, playing with the bottom of my hair as I usually did when I became nervous. One of those bad habits, you may say. We were led towards the back of the restaurant by our waitress. Upon reaching the end of the room, I noticed that the table that we were meant to sit in was rather large and some people were already seated, enjoying their drinks and laughing with one another. The table had two empty seats and I assumed that they belonged to Ryan and I. Other than that, the table was set up for eight people, and six of those seats were already occupied.
Once Ryan and I were fully in the room, one guy in particular stopped having his conversation with another, stood from his seat and made his way towards us. "Hey, Ryan! Whadduuuuuuuup." He said as he and Ryan did that guy hand shake, that all men usually do. The guy who had approached Ryan and I was the same height as Ryan. He had a foxhawk with blonde in it. He was wearing dark grey jeans, which fit him properly, a purple shirt with an eccentric design on it, black Supra shoes, a black blazer and a black bandana around his neck.
After shaking Ryan's hand, he turned to me and introduced himself. "Oh, sorry for being so rude. You're Maygen, right?" I nodded, smiling lightly at him. "Well, it's nice to meet you. The guys and I have been heard about you for like... 1,2,3...1... a long ass time!" I let out a small giggle and took a quick glance at Ryan who had rolled his eyes. "Well, I'm D-Trix, but the guys usually call me Dom. Hey, some people call me Dominic! But you can call me D, Dee, Dom, Dommy... Dick..." Ryan placed his hand on his forehead as he closed his eyes. "Dom, really? Was that really necessary?" D-Trix just shurgged his shoulders and replied, "What?! I needed another word that started with D! Well, whatever. Maygen, you can call me whatever you want. But for now, how about you guys grab a bite with us as you're introduced to everyone?" I smiled and nodded my head towards D-Trix. "Yeah, sure, that would be great." I said as we made our way towards our seats.
I took a seat in between Ryan and Dominic, who hadn't sat down since we approached the table. "Hey, you guys, shut up!" Immediately, all the guys at the table gave Dominic a look and remained silent. "Okay, soooo, now that I have everyone's attention, Ryan, go ahead and introduce your girl to us." They all laughed, as did I before Dominic took a seat and took a sip of his soda. Ryan took my hand into his and held it up high enough for everyone at the table to see. "Well, you guys know that I have been acting different lately-" "Is that the girl you've been seeing for like, a week now?" A man with black hair and braids said, cutting Ryan off in his English accent. "Yes, Hok." Ryan said, rather irritated. "As I was saying, guys, this is Maygen. My girlfriend." Ryan said as all the guys began to introduce themselves, one by one.
"Hey, Maygen, my name is Feng. Nice to meet you." Feng said as he leaned over the table to shake my hand. The guy next to him, shook my hand as well before saying "I'm Steve, and the guy to my right is Brian." The guy sitting next to him known as Brian, seemed to be caught up in a game on his phone, so he just waved towards my direction without even looking up at me, which made me laugh slightly. The next one to introduce himself smiled brightly at me, also leaning over the table to shake my hand "Hi, Maygen! My name is Victor. Nice to meet you, we've heard a lot about you." I smiled back at Victor, who had taken a sip out of his glass of water. The guy sitting beside him, known as Hok, waved happily towards me with a smile plastered across his face. "Well, you already know my name. Since Ryan mentioned it a little bit earlier, haha. Well, anyway, I'm Hok." After having them introduce themselves to me, I decided to gather enough courage to introduce myself. "Hey, everyone. It's really nice to meet you too. My name is Maygen Magdalena. Thank you so much for having me with you at lunch today, I really appreciate it." I replied as I smiled warmly towards each of them. They all smiled and Dominic grabbed his cup and held it high above his head. "Well, I think that Ryan and Maygen deserve a toast. To the happy couple to my right!" he said as everyone, including me, raised our glasses into the air and clanked them against each others, having some of the liquid jump out of the glasses, creating a small mess on the table.
Each of us laughed as Dominic, who had banged his glass the hardest, had a mixture of assorted drinks splashed onto his face. Oh wow, for the first time, I could actually get used to hanging around these guys often. After lunch, we all made our way out of the restaurant and said our good byes before heading to our own cars. "Bye, Maygen, nice meeting you again! I had a really nice lunch with you guys!" Steve said as he waved goodbye to Ryan and I from his car, which was conveniently parked right next to Ryan's. "Alright, bye Steve! We should all do this again some time." I replied as I opened the passenger side of Ryan's car. Steve unlocked his car and replied, "Okay, sounds like a plan. Bye, Ryan, bye, Maygen!" Ryan and I waved at Steve as he pulled out of his parking spot and made his way out of the parking lot.
Ryan and I climbed into his car, closing the door beside us and putting our seat belts on. "See, that wasn't so bad, was it?" Ryan said as he put his keys into it's slot and started up the car. I let out a small giggle. "Actually, no, it wasn't. You have some really great friends, Ryan." Once again, Ryan took leaned over and gave me a light peck on the lips. "I have a pretty great girl friend, too."
Ryan slowly drove me back to my apartment. As we arrived at my apartment, a thought had come to mind. "Hey, Ryan. How about you and I meet up with Hannah tonight? That way, you can get to know her as well. She's one of my closest friends. I think that it's only fair since I've already spent a great deal of time with your friends. So, how about it?" I said, grabbing my purse from the cars carpet and placing it on my lap. Ryan just nodded before replying, "Yeah, sounds great. I'd love to be acquainted with your closest friend. That way it won't be all awkward when we all get together or something," he replied with a small laugh. "Okay, great! I'll just call her up right now and we can make our way over to her place. Sound good?" Ryan nodded as I pulled out my cellphone and dialed Hannah's number.
"Heeeeeeeeeeeey!" Hannah said as she answered her phone. I let out a small laugh and replied, "Hey Hannah. So, I just had lunch with Ryan and his friends. So, I had this crazy idea that maybe the three of us could hang out for a little bit? You know, really get to know each other since I got to know Ryan's friends." A short pause emerged from the phone call before Hannah replied, "Well, I'm a little busy, buuuuuut, okay! See you in a few minutes or something." I slid my phone closed and smiled towards Ryan. "Okay, let's go!"
Once Ryan and I had made our way to Hannah's apartment, she opened the door, inviting us into the living room where she had set up a few drinks and cookies. "Sorry I don't have any real food, guys. I haven't gone grocery shopping in like... a month." Hearing this, made Ryan and I laugh. "Well, you know you can order your groceries online and they'll deliver it to you. I think that Albertsons does that." Ryan said as he picked up a cookie and placed it into his mouth. Hannah's eyes grew wide. "What?! You can do that now?! And here I am, serving you guys old ass cookies and tap water, when I could be ordering scrumptious food online instead of starving of death!" Hannah plopped herself down on the couch, as she grabbed her laptop off the table and onto her lap. Ryan threw the expired cookie back on the plate and made a disgusted face. I just laughed and leaned over to look at Hannah's laptop screen as she opened up a window and began to type into the address bar. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Ordering some real food!" Hannah replied.
About four months had passed and Ryan and I had a strong relationship. He and I had been the happiest we've ever been. We had no problems, except the occassional 'forgetting to lift the toilet seat' dillema. But beside that, everything was acsolutely perfect. I had become closer to his friends and I was now able to communicate with each of them on different levels. I was myself around them, at all times and I was always smiling and laughing with them. Ryan and Hannah had become good friends as well, there was never an awkward moment between any of us.
Ryan had recently told me that he loved me. I can recall every single action that happened that night. He and I decided to take a walk through the park, seeing as it was such a beautiful night. He and I had a huge argument over weekend plans. He had wanted to go to Nevada with some friends and I wanted him to spend the weekend with me, in order to have him as my date to my cousins wedding. I had already asked him to do so in advance, but he had completely forgotten about it and made other plans. I angrily walked through the park and Ryan was close behind, running his hands through his hair as he and I furiously yelled back and forth at each other.
"Look, Maygen, I'm sorry that I forgot about your cousins wedding! But come on, you hate your cousin! She's always so rude to you and to be honest, I'm pretty sure that she has some hatred towards me as well. Come on!" I shook my headand turned back around to face him. "That's not the point, Ryan. You promised that you would go! And I made a commitment to be one of her bridesmaids! You know how fucking pissed off she'll be?!" I said as I crossed my arms tightly around my chest. "Maygen, fuck her wedding! You and I both know that she's just a snob, getting what she wants 24/7." I knew he was right. But why had I pushed so far as to go and prove that I was right?
"Forget about it, Ryan. You obviously don't give a damn about my relationship with my family." Okay, now I just sound demanding. Ryan rolled his eyes and threw his arms up into the air while looking down at me. "Okay, fine, forget about it." Ryan yelled back at me. I don't know what came over me, but at that moment, I slapped Ryan in the face, hard. I couldn't say a word. I couldn't even look at him. His head was down and I began to stomp angrily away from him, tears forming in my eyes. Ryan came up behind me and grabbed my wrist, forcing me to turn and face him. "Let me go!" I yelled as I tried to pull my wrist away from him as he grabbed my other wrist. I began to pull my wrist from him fiercefully, pounding at his chest, with tears rolling down my face. "Ryan, let me go! Let me fucking go!" Ryan continued to hold my wrists, pulling me closer to him as I began to break down before him. I placed my head into his chest, crying harshly, staining his teal shirt with my tears. And the whole time, he had held me close to him, rubbing my back, telling me that everything would be okay. That we would be okay. Then, he took his right arm off of my back, and lightly tilted my chin up to face him. And he stared down at me, with my smudged make up and tear stained face, he kissed me lightly on the lips and slowly pulled away. His lips were still touching mine as he whispered, "I love you, Maygen."
A moment in our relationship that I will never forget. Ever. I had to admit, I was in love with that boy too.
Today was the sixth of May, which meant that it was Hannah's birthday. She being my best friend, I decided to make her twenty fourth birthday one to remember. I had spent hours at the mall, looking for a decent gift for her, when I finally decided on a four hundred dollar purse, which I knew she would love. I had also bought her a diamond necklace, in the shape of a humming bird, knowing that it was her favorite animal. In addition to the necklace and purse, I had also stopped by the local bakery to pick up a cake for her, which had a humming bird designed on it especially for her. On the cake, it said "Happy 24th birthday, Hannah! Thanks for being such a good friend." All in all, I was excited to see her because I was planning on surprising her, just showing up at her apartment, since she had given me an extra key to her apartment.
I climbed out of my car, with her presents in hand and cake in the other. After going through the elevator routine and making my way towards her apartment door, I pulled the key out of my pocket, placed it into the door knob and unlocked the door, walking in and closing the door behind me with my foot. I looked around the room, expecting to see her sitting on the couch watching TV, or possibly using her laptop. Well, that's weird. I made my way to her room, she was probably still asleep. She always did wake up past noon when she wasn't busy. I walked towards her bedroom door, cake and presents in hand as I twisted the door knob quietly and walked into her room before shouting out "Surpri-" I couldn't believe it.
I dropped the cake and presents. My mouth was open and my eyes grew wide. I slowly placed my hand over my mouth. "Ry...Ryan?" There before me, was Ryan and Hannah together in her bed, naked.

"Deon is a talented athlete whose leadership and teamwork qualities have made him a standout at Christopher Columbus High School," said John Myers, Director of Strategic Communications, Marketing and Outreach, U.S. Army Accessions Command. "Only the strongest wear the Army colors, and Deon possesses similar mental, emotional and physical strengths to Army Strong Soldiers. We are proud to honor all of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl players and congratulate each of them on their selection."
The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder bolsters an impressive roster for the U.S. Army All-American contest. He is currently rated as the #13 safety in the country by Scout.com, making him a four-star prospect.
Bush has a plethora of offers, but reportedly favors Auburn and Alabama.
Scout Eval: Bush can play multiple roles in the defensive backfield. He has the size and skill set of a cornerback, but he is more physical than most outside linebackers. Whether he lines up at corner or safety he flies to the football. He has tremendous closing speed and change of direction.

Slow Cooker Shio Ramen with Chili Oil
I can't make ramen without thinking of my dad. As a young adult my dad lived in Korea, and though ramen is a traditional Japanese dish, he still gained a fondness for it over there. Growing up my dad would make packages of instant top ramen and crack an egg into it. I loved the ramen, but the egg disgusted me. I didn't know eggs could be good any other way than scrambled or hard boiled. So now I'm all grown up and try to avoid packaged foods. So how can I still enjoy the childhood comfort of ramen? Make it myself of course! Ramen shops in Japan are like hamburger joints in the United States. They are everywhere! It's a staple food. There are all kinds of ramen. I decided to go with a Shio variety of ramen. Shio ramen is the oldest variety and is based off a chicken stock. Can't go wrong with a classic! All you have to do to make your own ramen is come up with an Asian style chicken stock and go from there. I utilized the slow cooker to make it incredibly easy. Toss it in the crockpot in the morning, come back at night and whip up the noodles (and we know those literally only take a couple minutes to cook). Talk about an easy dinner! And unlike those instant version, you know exactly what went into this stuff and with the many types of veggie add-ins you could use, you know you are getting something much healthier. I decided to add in some chili oil tableside for that extra kick. Wowzers people. You will be amazed by what ramen noodles really can be!
4 carrots, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
1 onion, large dice
1 cup sliced shitake mushrooms
1 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt
Leftover Chicken Bones
8 cups water
Ramen Noodles
Chili Oil
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp red pepper flakes
Veggie and Add-In Options: baby bok choy (pictured), shitake mushrooms (pictured), bamboo shoots, scallions, corn, bean sprouts, boiled egg, chicken
1. In a large slow cooker, combine the carrot chunks, onion chunks, shitakes, ginger, garlic, salt, chicken bones, and water. (If you do not have chicken bones on hand you can replace the chicken bones and water with straight canned chicken stock). Cook on high for 8 hours.
2. To make the chili oil, combine the olive oil and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and let cool. Set aside until ready to serve.
3. When ready to eat, strain the crockpot contents into a large saucepan so you have a nice broth. Bring the broth to a boil and add in your ramen noodles* Cook until noodles are done (somewhere between 2 and 4 minutes depending on the kind of noodles you buy).
4. Remove the noodles from the broth and put them in a bowl to serve. Top with desired add-ins. When ready to eat, spoon the broth into the bowl and drizzle with chili oil.
*Some stores sell packaged ramen noodles in their Asian section. They look very similar to a package of spaghetti noodles. These are preferred over the instant top ramen as those are flash fried. But, if you can't find better noodles, the instant top ramen will work. Just discard the enclosed MSG spice packet.
What makes ramen noodles so special? Ramen is an alkaline noodle. It is the opposite of acidity which means it has a higher pH. Chemistry! Something about how the high pH interacts with the gluten of the wheat makes the noodles hold up better in liquids than your standard Western style noodle. It makes ramen perfect for soups. It was developed in China, but has become an absolute staple in Japan.

I really want to try this. What can I say? Dad passed his love of ramen on to me, too!ReplyDelete

Why is chicken in the veggie add-on section?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hah! Good point. I better change that to veggies and add-ins section.Delete
- AnonymousJanuary 13, 2014 at 3:34 PM
It says veggie AND add-on section, thats why chicken is listed there.Delete
I love this! I want to try this for a winter work day. Great idea. :)ReplyDelete
you didnt say how many ramen packs this requires?ReplyDelete
is this meant to serve one person or two?Replies
You'll create about 8 cups of broth. You can use as many or as little noodles as you'd like. I'd say about 1 of the instant ramen packets per 2 cups is about right.Delete
Hey Rachel - LOVE this recipe! Would you suggest making the chili oil the way you describe above, or can I use the store-bought chili oil? Cannot WAIT to make this - yum yum!ReplyDeleteReplies
We love it too! Thanks for taking the time to comment. When it comes to store bought vs. homemade, I almost always choose homemade. That being said, store bought would work :)Delete

Beautiful deep wine, opal & creamy lip balm
11 people found the following review helpful
Posted by PurplePegasus on Nov 21, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
Reviewed this years ago, let's see if it publishes now... This is fun & being 100% organic, it's much better than lipsticks. I had not realized there were 2 colors one on each end. As a lip balm this is very healing, creamy and moisturizing without being oily. Feels as great as the regular Badger lip balms. It smells like roasted cacao beans & the scent does linger. I have MCS & am allergic to chemical smells. Strong as this smells, it doesn't bother me & smell fades away progressively. So far as color, the garnet is a deep wine color. It is very natural looking which is what I was looking for. It is matte and not sheer. Applying a little makes for a natural look or you can go bolder with a few applications. The opal shade allows you to control how dark you want the garnet, just apply on top to tone it down. The opal can also be used on its own, it's a nude color that makes for a beige/pinkish lip with a slightly frosted finish. I have big lips: the garnet gives the illusion of smaller lips, the opal makes them stand out refracting light at the center.
the color is very nice - kind of dark natural red-ish

but I don`t need the shimmer part (it`s shimmer in one part of it and color in the other). It´s little soft so it don`t stay so long - and the packaging is not so good - it was difficult to screw back with the result that it sticked to the cap - maybe because of the soft texture too. Add a little more wax (like Kiss My Face`s) and change the tube - would`nt mind a little peppermint either though it tastes good - and it would be my favorite as the color is really good :-)
Nice colours, keeps the lips protected

This lip tint + shimmer surprised because it moisturizes very well: my lips get dry very easily but when I'm wearing this I don't need to apply my lip balm. If my lips feel dry after a few hours I just apply another layer of the tint or the shimmer. The lip tint colour (Garnet) is very nice: If I apply a single layer I get a soft red/pinkish colour, very discreet. If I want something more striking I apply a second layer. But I prefer the Opal Shimmer for everyday use, going to work etc: Its colour is a very light and bright pink and I only apply a single layer and it looks really good, two layers if I want an extra-moisturizing effect (but if I apply too much it looks a bit white). I'm very pale so this shimmer with its light colour makes a nice contrast with my skin, I think it makes me look somewhat "healthier"!
Great for dark lips

This lip tint adds great colour to my lips which are naturally dark (I am Indian). It moisturizes and conditions without the drying and flaking I experienced from other commercial lip paints and tints. It's also comforting to know that there are no harmful ingredients and that it is safe to apply to a sensitive area.
Absolute best of class!!!!

I have tried all four of Badgers new offerings in the lip tints....LOVE THEM! All the colors are AWESOME, they mix well with each other...they have better staying power than any other lip tints I have ever tried, which include ALL the well known natural brands. THESE ARE THE BEST! I have already sent gift packs of these out to my friends...they love them also! THANK YOU, BADGER BALM AND IHERB!!!

Meyerco Dirk Pinkerton Variable Broadhead Dagger Neck Knife (PLN) MJDPVBBH
DescriptionInformation from Meyerco:
The Variable series began as a back up neck knife for a friend who was a Police officer. He wanted a small lightweight neck knife that was ambidextrous. The idea being that he could access the knife with his strong or off side hand.
What makes the Variable special? The handle's ability to permit practically any grip, yet still be very compact. Two features make this possible, the finger hole and the neutral handle. The finger hole is a great idea that has been around for a while and it permits a shorter, more compact handle without sacrificing a secure grip. Next, there is the neutral handle. With a short handle oriented on the center axis of the knife, you now have the ability to grip the knife in almiost any grip. It's comfortable in a standard grip, reverse grip edge out, reverse grip edge in, standard grip edge up, as a a push dagger or even a thumb dagger style grip. I haven't found a usable grip that doesn't work. Carry options for this knife are just as diverse: neck knife, IWB, belt sheath or a Pocket Paddle. Combine all the carry options with teh multiple ways o grip the knife and you have the Variable.
Overall: 4"
Cutting Edge: 1.125"
Weight: 1.2 oz.
Sheath: Glass Filled Nylon (GFN) w/ Neck Chain
Limited Forever Warranty

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and other disabling conditions present challenges. The coping skills in this section will help ease the burden those who suffer from these illnesses. Topics covered are setting goals and time management, in the kitchen, around the house, and for personal well-being.
Read the rest of this entry »
(Revised) There are lots of diet plans to choose from. Each has its own claims to fame — or at least its promise of a more healthful eating lifestyle. Part of the problems with those diagnosed with syndromes and conditions like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia (FM) is that not everybody experiences exactly the same symptoms. For example, some with Fibromyalgia have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS); others do not. Therefore, the same as not every treatment plan works for everyone diagnosed with CFS or FM, there isn't a "one size fits all" eating regimen either. Many find they must match their diet with their (for lack of a better word) form of their disease, syndrome, or condition.
When you must cope with a disabling chronic illness, it's sometimes easy to get down in the dumps. (We all get sick and tired of being sick and tired!) These suggestions will help you find ways to laugh and keep those everyday downs under control so that you spend more time being "up" — on yourself and your life.
Index to To Do List T-Shirt and Gift Idea Design
Once you or someone you know or love is diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, or any other disabling condition, that person's priority by necessity must change. The suggestions in this section can help ease the lifestyle adjustments necessitated by the condition.

Pammy is the main character in two comic strips by Pamela Rice Hahn, the first of which is the Writing Woes comic strip. Pammy is a writer who is also disabled because of chronic illness and chronic conditions, so she also appears in the Chronic Illness Realities comic strip.

Users in Municipal, Justice of Peace, County and District Courts provided input to produce this user-friendly, feature-rich, time saving software solution for these offices. One time data entry, smart date fields, list fields and multiple entry fields are just a few of the tools that make data entry easy for Court Clerks.>> Click for More

Facilitates Sharing of Inmate Transfers to Reduce Expenses
The KellPro Prisoner Tracking system is focused on helping the county Sheriff reduce the expense of inmate transfers. Inmates are often transferred to the same locations across our State to numerous correctional centers (including State prisons), mental hospitals, and juvenile facilities. Furthermore, suspects who are detained in another State have to be transported back to their locale which requires transfers across State lines, pulling vital law enforcement personnel out of their county, not to mention the expense of fuel and vehicle maintenance. KellPro has partnered with the Oklahoma Sheriffs' Association to develop a solution that enables sharing of inmate transfers and offers the Basic Version of the Prisoner Transfer System at no cost to the sheriffs.>> Click for More
Easily Store and Retrieve Digital Copies of Old School Records
Public school census records were maintained for decades that contain valuable information for proving age or for doing genealogical research.

The KellPro Plat Map System reduces the need to physically handle, copy or search plat maps or large engineering drawings. Maps and drawings are frequently matters of public record.

This system gives public users the ability to quickly search and view the documents, with an optional configuration to print the documents if needed.>> Click for More

JSON Data for multiple objects and associations in RailsSubmitted by Richard on Tue, 10/20/2009 - 08:58
I am creating a REST API in Rails which outputs JSON data. In some cases I need multiple objects to be pushed out in the data, which is fine until you need to use associations in the mix also.

Using an alias method with an abstract class model in Ruby on RailsSubmitted by Richard on Sat, 10/17/2009 - 14:24
I was surprised about how easy and nice this solution was, I needed a separate model to manage 2 different kinds of sessions in my rails project. A regular user session and a cart specific user session. I don't know if this is the best way to organize my data but it is a legacy system that is built that way!
Little request for Ruby on RailsSubmitted by Richard on Thu, 10/15/2009 - 08:24
One thing that drives me mad about rails since I am not using it everyday is forms.
Although I love it to pieces why do you need 2 types of form helper (one for forms wrapped around an object and one for not). Although after a little time you find yourself remembering which is which.
But Why?
Rails is supposed to save pain which it usually does, but I find form helpers in other frameworks far easier to use as I don't have to think about these different helpers. Lets hope they fix it in Rails 3.

Quality of help on the Wall (12 Posts)

Quality of help on the WallFirst let me say of all the places on the net I have ever searched for help on any subject this sight is hands down the best. I have been able find or get answers to all my questions here concerning boiler technology. You guys are very generous with your knowledge and experience.
That being said it seems some of you guys get a little testy when you find out some home owner is tring to go it alone. Don't get me wrong I fully appreciate the irritation of some yahoo digging for hard learned and earned information because they are just looking for a cheap way out. I have been a building contractor for 35 years so I know all about the guy who wants me to tell him how to do his own work and is wearing me out every fifteen minutes on the phone asking questions I have answered 3 times then arguing with me about why he thinks he should do it another way. I live in a small remote southern town where heat pumps are the norm and the only boilers you see are in a 100 year old manufacturing facility and steam. When I started looking at replacing my oil fired boiler I talked to all the local plumbers who suggested everything from converting my 65% efficient boiler to gas with a Carlin and no mention of lining my flue to using on demand water heaters with a pump hooked to a thermastat with no idea of heat loss or flow requirements. Just add several together in series untill you have enough. I have been at it along time and know when I am talking to subs who are clueless. I knew I would have to get an education in order to sort out what to do. I spent hours and hours reading and learning about boiler technology and application. When I felt I had a pretty good handle on it I began actually asking question on this sight. In order to do away with my confusion. I tried to find answers every way I could on my own because the last thing I want to do is waste your valuable time you are so generously putting into reading and responding to these posts. I feel I have asked some pretty poor questions here that I could have found answers to by just continuing my research but I am running out of time. I have only a small space heater and no hot water. The lows are in the low 30's now and it is getting tough. I still will not rush this thing and risk boiler damage or worse.
Anyway enough of this rant. I do not want to tic you guys off any worse. Please try to consider sometimes laymen are in a position of little or no reliable choice. The most reliable choice I seem to have here is this site. Thank you all who have responded to me. If any of you need kitchen design help send me an email weather you responded to me or not. I have really nice design software and my designs have repeatedly won gold awards in the parade of homes. I like to help others too!
Once again thanks,

Testiness.If someone doesn't think someone is capable of something, they usually ignore them. If someone is trying to do something that is dangerous and above their capabilities, someone might be testy if the offender is obnoxious or doesn't accept the help.
Some help is in the form of opinions. Opinions are like you know what. We all have one.
Some problems are overthought. I don't know your situation but it sounds like you have been asking around for a lot of ideas. Well and good. But if someone you don't know gives you an opinion that you try to explain to someone that has no idea what you are talking about, the eyes glass over.
I have done something for at least 40 years that sounds like what you need. It has worked for me well over 100 times. But there are some around and here that say it absolutely will not work and is wasteful. I don't bother anymore because they are smart and I am not.
But I works for me an always will.
The one thing that evens out all the issues becomes what someone will pay. What is it I say here last night? Expensive is expensive. But cheap is costly. Or, you get what you pay for by what you are willing to pay for.

TestyI think most members are pretty generous about sharing their knowledge. I belong to another site that has a forum called ask our professionals. The most common reply to threads in this forum is "contact a professional."
They do not want to give away their knowlge for free or seeing anyone hurt themselves or others. Here it seem that, for the most part, we try and keep people from hurting themselves.If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!

HelpMost of us try to guide homeowners in the right direction -- often that takes the form of "ask your contractor this" or "insist that they do that."
"Call a pro" is just not good enough when it comes to hydronic heat (of all types.) The state of the industry as experienced by the end-user is quite frankly execrable in many parts of the country. Many of us here own hold licenses and run businesses, but we just hate seeing yet another customer get screwed by yet another clueless installer or repair person. The more informed and aware that customer is, the more likely they are to select a competent installer. I for one do not see this as a threat to my business or the integrity of my profession -- quite the opposite, in fact.

SWEIThat is the perfect attitude to have. If you educate the consumer, they will be able to make more informed decisions and, in my opinion, it will be much easier to sell your installs because they'll know exactly why yours may cost more than the cheapest guy. Education helps everyone, in every line of work

Have to agree...I also spent 28 yrs. as a builder [gc, retired recently] similar to the first poster. In my view there is a large concentration of talent and generosity here. I have also had the frequent frustration of having to say to the naive questions over the years that the answer is to hire a pro. That answer is appropriate when the asker is so deep in never-never land that the detail would take fourteen single spaced pages to properly treat. Who has the time? They would likely not get it anyway. In most schools you pay tuition.
Other amatuers try hard to school themselves and deserve some detail and help.
You guys play in a field that is so technical and experienced based that my guess is fewer than 10% of bad installs asked about here actually get wrenches put on by owners. They likely just spend the money all over again, hopefully on something that works.

ExactlyThe whole purpose for my being here is that through the years at least 3 separate contractors have installed boilers in my house and none have come close to working properly. All 3 have rusted out due to heavy condensation due to extreme short cycling. I have been forced as a home owner and an experienced builder to learn how boiler systems work in order to avoid another disaterous install. I still have issues I do not fully understand but refuse to proceed until I fully comprehend the cause and effect of each and every component and configuration iinvolved. I have studied every resource I can find in order to understand the engineering involved with assembling a good efficient boiler system. This site has been hands down the best resource I have been able to locate. Without the help of pros here I would be very lost in this quest. I am greatful for any input to my posts weather it is what I want to hear or not. In my many years of construction I have long found the only way to be sure a contractor knows what they are doing is to understand what they are doing. Otherwise it is strictly trust. Trust works great when you have used some one several times and they always preform. NO ONE WORKS IN MY HOUSE UNLESS I AM 100% SURE THE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! I have contracted extremely complicated systems of various types over the years and few go beyond the complications of boiler system design. You guys who have spent years acquiring this knowledge then readily sharing it with any stranger who comes along are nothing short of amazing. Thank you all. Remember there are an awful lot of contractors out there in every trade who are completely clueless about what they are doing. When you combine a home owner who is even more clueless the result is an expensive disaster. I am tring to avoid that disaster.

TomI don't know if you know about the site, but go to Taco FloPro University. You'll find information that you won't believe. They have tutorials that take you from start to finish, designing a system. I think if you look around this site, you'll see that the biggest cause of problems with peoples systems, is that the installer simply didn't follow the manufacturers instructions. After problem arise with the system, the homeowner opens the I&O packet(for the 1st time), and reallizes what he has doesn't even resemble what is in the manual. Best Wishes

Proper installsThanks Paul,
When I was researching my Viessmann at first I was concerned about fault codes and lock outs in the middle of the night. After further investigation into these complaints I realized they were almost allrelated to improper install or coding. I saw one complaint of a gas valve failure that everyone involved agreed was a one In a million fluke. I read review after review by pros that said they had installed many of these units without a single callback. I continued searching and soon discovered that almost all of the problems with Mod Cons could be directly traced to an installation issue. JUST FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMENDATIONS has always worked best for me. Select a product from accompany with a good reputation then except their engineering instructions.they spend a lot of money figuring this stuf out.
