Champions League Group D (as in death) Predicted Finishes
Here is a synopsis of each club and their projected finishes from Leander Schaerlaeckens. Check back all day for each group's predictions.
Group D:
Champions League titles: 9 (6 as the European Cup)
The kings of Spain have got off to a rough start this season but they are loaded with talent. New signing Luka Modric will help their midfield immensely and Cristiano Ronaldo remains one of the deadliest players in the game. Jose Mourinho knows that he cannot stand still, and has been working on retooling his squad but so far the early results are discouraging: Real started the season with two losses and has to buckle down if they hope to retain their title.
Champions League titles: 1
Dortmund isn't the first German team that comes to mind — but they should be. The reigning Bundesliga champs have avoided the self-defeating silliness that tends to surround rivals Bayern and don't seem to be impacted by player dealings. They lost a star in Shinji Kagawa to United but still boast Jakub "Kuba" Blaszczyowski and Mario Goetze to make things happen and have a great deal of fiber at either end of the field. Robert Lewandowski has been superb for them up top, one-time American Neven Subotic is a stalwart at the back. Dortmund are also eager to avoid their flop last year in Group F, where they lost four games. This is a multi-tool team that is going to be handful for anyone to face.
Champions League titles: 0
The reigning Premier League champs have made only tentative steps to reload their arsenal with Jack Rodwell being their lone import at press time. But they still possess a lot of tools and should fare better with a year of European experience under their belts. Carlos Tevez and David Silva remain potent weapons and Sergio Aguero will be back soon enough to provide bite. Yaya Toure is their not-so-secret weapon and Vincent Kompany is clearly one of the best defenders anywhere. If City lack something, it is freshness: they feel like a team that has stood pat rather than one that has looked to grow. How that affects them in the Premier League and the Champions League is open to debate.
Champions League titles: 4 (3 as the European Cup)
One of the great teams in European soccer, Ajax's luster has faded in recent decades with the decline of the Dutch soccer league. Most of the nation's top talents no longer play in the Eredivisie and Ajax looks to develop talent and then sell them on. Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham) and Vurnon Anita (Newcastle) moved this summer and there are many others coming through the ranks. Ajax still has solid players like midfielder Siem de Jong (brother of Moenchengladbach's Luuk) and old head Christian Poulsen. This is a respectable Ajax team – just not one good enough for this level. Fun fact: No one at the club can wear the number 14. That belonged to Johan Cruyff and the club retired it in 2007.

Simmons Named Among the Nation's "Best Colleges" By Forbes.com For Fourth Year in a Row
BOSTON (August 11, 2011) — For the fourth consecutive year, Simmons College has been named by Forbes as one of "American's Best Colleges in 2011." Simmons is among a select group of 650 colleges featured in the ranking, which represents the top 20% of the nearly 4,000 colleges in the United States.
According to Forbes, its ranking focuses on "the things that matter the most to students: quality of teaching, great career prospects, graduation rates, and low levels of debt." The ranking are prepared for Forbes by The Center for College Affordability and Productivity, which gathered and analyzed the data. The survey information is based on five general categories: post graduate success, which evaluates alumni pay and prominence, student satisfaction, which includes professor evaluations and freshman to sophomore year retention rates, debt, which penalizes schools for high student debt loads and default rates, four-year graduation rate, and competitive awards. To learn more about the ranking, visit the Forbes website.
Earlier this month, Simmons College was named one of the nation's "Best 376 Colleges" in the Princeton Review's 2012 college guidebook, which chooses schools based on outstanding academics and an 80-question student survey that focuses on the schools' academics, administration, campus life, and student body.
Founded in 1899, Simmons College is a nationally ranked university located in the heart of Boston with a history of visionary thinking and social responsibility. It offers undergraduate education for women, and renowned coeducational graduate programs in nursing and health sciences, liberal arts, library and information science, social work, as well as the nation's first MBA program designed specifically for women. Follow Simmons on Twitter @SimmonsCollege and @SimmonsNews.

|What Happens in Blokus, Stays in Blokus
|Executed a perfect block
A "perfect block" occurs when three opponents' available squares are occupied in one move.What this means is blocking all 3 opponent's options by placing a single tile. As such, you can only get this in a Classic 4 game in Tournament or Online mode, local Quick Play mode will not work.
Here's a tip to get it. When you play against 3 computers, choose the 3rd position, the red one. Then on the 3rd or 4th round, you'll have the best chance to make a perfect block has most of the time, the 3 or 4 first moves target the center. Choose the right piece to block the 3 computers. Quite easy to get it.

School Violence – Parents
A Dozen Things Parents Can Do To Stop School Violence
- Recognize that keeping firearms in your home may put you at legal risk as well as expose you and your family to physical risk. In many states, parents can be held liable for their children's actions, including inappropriate use of firearms. If you do choose to keep firearms at home, ensure that they are securely locked, that ammunition is locked and stored separately, and that children know weapons are never to be touched without your express permission and supervision.
- Take an active role in your children's schools. Talk regularly with teachers and staff. Volunteer in the classroom or library, or in after-school activities. Work with parent-teacher-student organizations.
- Act as role models. Settle your own conflicts peaceably and manage anger without violence.
- Listen to and talk with your children regularly. Find out what they're thinking on all kinds of topics. Create an opportunity for two-way conversation, which may mean forgoing judgements or pronouncements. This kind of communication should be a daily habit, not a reaction to crisis.
- Set clear limits on behaviors in advance. Discuss punishments and rewards in advance, too. Disciplining with framework and consistency helps teach self-discipline, a skill your children can use for the rest of their lives.
- Communicate clearly on the violence issue. Explain that you don't accept and won't tolerate violent behavior. Discuss what violence is and is not. Listen to children's ideas and concerns. They may bring up small problems that can easily be solved now, problems that could become worse if allowed to fester.
- Help your children learn how to examine and find solutions to problems. Kids who know how to approach a problem and resolve it effectively are less likely to be angry, frustrated, or violent. Take advantage of "teachable moments" to help your child understand and apply these and other skills.
- Discourage name-calling and teasing. These behaviors often escalate into fistfights (or worse). Whether the teaser is violent or not, the victim may see violence as the only way to stop it.
- Insist on knowing your children's friends, whereabouts, and activities. It's your right. Make your home an inviting and pleasant place for your children and their friends; it's easier to know what they're up to when they're around. Know how to spot signs of troubling behavior in kids-yours and others.
- Work with other parents to develop standards for school-related events, acceptable out-of-school activities and places, and required adult supervision. Support each other in enforcing these standards.
- Make it clear that you support school policies and rules that help create and sustain a safe place for all students to learn. If your child feels a rule is wrong, discuss his or her reasons and what rule might work better.
- Join up with other parents, through school and neighborhood associations, religious organizations, civic groups, and youth activity groups. Talk with each other about violence problems, concerns about youth in the community, sources of help to strengthen and sharpen skills, and similar issues.

The Goose in Darien- unexpected gem
- missmar79 Jun 6, 2010 04:01 AM
Just wanted to post about the excellent experience we had at the Goose in Darien. I had never been to the prior restaurant - the Black Goose Grill, so I had limited expectations. In addition, I am in no way affiliated with this restaurant, I am only posting because I really enjoyed my experience there and want to share with you all.
We arrived last night and the place was hopping. The theme is cozy, modernized gastro pub.
We were immediately seated upon arrival for our 9pm reservation.
Our waiter promptly greeted us with menus and water.
They have an extensive beer selection. I ordered the Blue Moon on tap and dh ordered a bottle of Delerium Tremens..came in its signature (and frozen) glass (fantastic by the way - if you are into Belgian beer!)
For the appetizer we ordered the mussels. The one snafu was when they came out, they also brought our entrees at the exact same time. Not sure how that happened... but when we were about to just accept the fact that we would eat everything together, the chef, Piergiorgio, came out and shooed the waiters away while he was embarrassingly pulling our entrees back. He apologized and assured me that he would re-cook everything...I was skeptical.
Anyway, the mussels were excellent, each shell has a large meaty mussel. They were in a very light white wine broth with a hint of lemon, studded by capers, sliced cherry tomatoes and caperberries. An unexpected combination which I normally would not care for, but the flavors were very subtle, only enhancing the freshness and taste of the mussels. A perfect complimenting sauce.
As we were enjoying our mussels the manager, Paul, came over to our table to apologize for the entrees being brought out so soon. We told him it was no problem and that his mussels were excellent. We also complimented his beer selection - it is rare to see a Delerium Tremens on the beer menu. Paul told us that he has been preparing the Goose for open since January. He was enthusiastic and you could tell he really cared about his restaurant.
On to the entrees. My dh ordered the sirloin steak sandwich- sliced steak with a truffle aioli and caramelized onions on a softly toasted rosemary foccacia. I tried it and I thought it was excellent. The bread supported the ingredients enough but was still soft to bite ( I hate when a steak sandwich sits on overly toasted bread that scrapes the inside of your mouth- I prefer a softer, yet supportive bread and the foccacia did the trick.) He ordered them with a side of salad, but you had the option for sweet potato fries. His only complaint was that there could have been more steak in the sandwich. But, he otherwise really enjoyed his choice.
I ordered the pork tenderloin, wrapped in applewood smoked bacon, served over collard greens and included in the entree was a side of mac and cheese.
After being served my entree earlier and the chef taking it back, I was honestly expecting a dried-up piece of tenderloin, overcooked and shriveled. Boy, was I wrong. It was the cooked to perfection- lightly pink inside and super juicy. The bacon was the best compliment. The collard greens were an unexpected surprise - it seemed they were sautéed with butter and lemon which worked as a nice contrast to the pork. The plate was drizzled artistically with what looked like a balsamic reduction. I must say the presenation was very impressive for a "pub."
The mac and cheese was served in separate little mug. It was al dente elbow mac, tossed with a lighter than usual cheese sauce and baked with breadcrumbs. It was not a heavy, saucy mac and cheese, which I actually appreciated.
The chef then came over to our table to apologize for the appetizer/entrée issue once again and told us dessert was on him. We ordered the key lime pie- was a creamy key lime filling with a thick cookie crust- need I say more?
An excellent way to end a very delicious meal.
At $75 for 2 rounds of beers, appetizer and 2 entrees, I will definitely be back to the Goose.
Affordable, great atmosphere and excellent service.
Kudos to Paul and Piergiorgio
I had lunch at the Goose recently and it was awful. First, I ordered lemonade and when I had a sip, I practically spat it back out. It was beyond tart and way too salty. I gave the drink back to the waitress, told her it was undrinkable and asked for a ginger ale instead. She came back later and told me the bartender had made a mistake and added pure lime juice instead of the lemonade mix.
Sadly, the food was just as bad. I ordered the eggplant and mozzarella sandwich on ciabatta bread with a side of sweet potato fries. Fries were ok and the sandwich was not on ciabatta bread but instead came out as a pressed panini. Unfortunately, the eggplant/cheese combination was awful.. either the mozzarella had gone off or they had used the wrong type. It had a crumbly texture like feta and an acidity like bleu cheese that tasted downright nasty in combination with the eggplant. I nibbled the edges of the panini bread and that was about it, I honestly could not make myself eat another bite.
My SO plus a friend both ordered the Angus burger with fries. Their verdict - an average burger.
On the plus side, the decor is nice, no complaints about the beers and the waitress did a splendid job. However, I doubt I will be hurrying back soon.
re: SeoulQueen
sorry to hear about your experience. the cheese sounds gross, i certainly would not have enjoyed that
we were there the other day for mussels and beer at the bar. mussels were excellent but we did not have anything else
re: missmar79
Tried it over the weekend. Not that impressed unfortunately. Doesn't seem that much different from the last iteration "the black goose" a couple of years ago. Still the split between bar area and dining room with a few more tables in the bar area and some extra flat screens for the sports. Other than that what's so different I found myself asking? The food? Nope...usual pub type menu. My colleague and I both tried the black angus burger. I asked for medium and it was cooked medium, which was the best thing about it. Other than that pretty mediocre I'm afraid. A little on the greasy side actually and the meat nothing to write home about. Ditto the fries. I was also non-plussed with the beer selection, same old line-up of stella, sierra nevada, blue moon etc. Nothing different at all. And they need to either sort out the pumps or retrain the bar staff in pouring a pint. Both Sierras were a little "off"...kinda weak and watery maybe even stale. But I let it go...by then I had decided this wasn't a place I was up for lingering in.
Will I give it another go? Maybe, in a couple of months to see if anything has changed with the kitchen but I'm not rushing back. In summary, I would say that the closest comparison to this place would be "the little pub" in nearby ridgefield but the little pub wins with much better burgers and much better beer list.
Im going to reply to my own original post here and negate it.
We went back to the Goose recently/
I am so disappointed.
I mentioned above that they screwed up the timing of our order on our first visit.
Well this time they really screwed everything up this time.
We went last Saturday and were seated in the bar.
Ordered an appetizer of mussles to share which were very good but the portion has gone down by at least 25%.
I ordered the salmon and husband ordered the steak sandwich.
Waitress brings out a steak filet (not the sandwich). First mistake. We humbly send it back. Its saturday. its loud and we figured we would let that go.
Then my salmon, a beautiful piece, was completely cooked unevely.
I mean that the top crust was so thick you needed a steak knife to cut through it. The bottom was RAW.
As someone who cooks salmon, I know that you need you flip it after a only couple mins on a hot pan.
Looks like the chef forgot to flip it . So in stead he served it to me with the top burnt and the bottom totally Raw and cold.
I was going to grin and bear it but my husband insisted fpr $23 that I send it back, so as politely as I could we sent it back explaining how the bottom was not cooked at all.
Meanwhile, my husbands actual order arrives. So he decided to eat.
10 minutes pass- my salmon has not returned. So we flag the waitress down and ask her is she can check on my salmon.
They must have forgotten- because she returned and said "oh you know salmon takes a while to cook so they are waiting for it to cook."
Takes a while? I cook salmon in 4-5 mins- MAX. Its clear they forgot about my salmon so were cooking it at that moment after my prompted reminder.
And, I guess since the bottom was raw, the waitress assumed I like a very well done salmon (WRONG) so the piece they finally brought out to me was a well done and dried out piece.
I was so annoyed but I didnt want to complain further so I just sucked it up.
Meanwhile.....my husband was long finished with his meal. So we both ate our meals alone which annoyed me.
As a consolation, they offered us free dessert. Whoopee.
We will not be going back for a long while.
(I will say that when done right, the food can be very tasty and fresh, but they have a LOT of work to do!)

In layman's terms: my tribe is dying. Like flies.
We are dying at a rate completely unknown to us. And this in a time of peace. But even in times of war, we did not die like this. And there was not one single war in our history where we had the joy of outnumbering anybody. My small tribe always fought giant armies. The Xhosa, the Zulu and twice, the mighty British. We sacrificed lives in these wars, bloodied wars, we conquered some, lost others. Small nations need lose very few casualties to feel it in their bones. Our small victories we guarded jealously, only to be told those victories, achievements, sacrifices, graves and scorched farmsteads amount to theft if and when the majority tells you so.
Today again the masses, outnumbering us four to one, are prescribing to us how we should respond to today's brutal slaughter - ignored also by the world at large. But we cannot be told when we should cry, whom for and why. We cannot be prescribed to how we should celebrate the legacy of Black Consciousness, The Struggle, Steve Biko, the ANC, Youth Day or Nelson Mandela while the daughters of our little group are raped as we speak and a white farmer is slaughtered every five days. While nothing, not health, not education, not unemployment, not the mortality rate and not our life expectancy have improved for any South African. In fact, the deterioration is spectacular.
Still they say we do not have a case. We are laughed off as silly or racist, off course.
The gravity of this concerns very few when you are a minority and nobody seems to be watching.

OMFG! I'm Really getting tired of this *****crap for realz yo! Retired wow/pvp player here. I like to keep up to date with wow pvp as much as i can. All i want is to read wow insider's insight on pvp and such. Not this frigging constant whining bout " wtf! I hate arena. F U! Blizz for ruining PVP shit". Ok one, two three times complaining is ok.I get it! You don't like Arena/rating system/BGS etc etc. Why are you even commenting on this blog if you hate it so much? If you want to rant to your liking plz get out of this blog go read some of Mat Rossi's blogs. Geez! I'm guessing that be more to your liking.
I'll give some insight to my exp with wow pvp. Cuz really i was a true pvper if i say so myself. My first duel ever was when i just dinged 30. Scared for shitz to even try out bgs. But that duel changed my my whole perspective on wow. Needless to say i got beaten real bad. I looked at my self hard as to what i did wrong and what i could do to make it better. that's when i knew i'd be a pvper for life. Not that i thought pve content was lacking or anything. I just thought i liked pvp a lot better. Coming from playing Unreal before WoW it wasn't such a big leap of faith at all. The point of what I'm trying to make is not all people r cut out for pve content. WE i.e: me and others like me live and die for pvp. I never cared for gear as much i cared for the competitiveness of the game to me gear was alwayz second to that and having fun of course. I remember doing av at 60 for months didn't want to ding60+ lvl to go to outland, also being in greens for crap sake in 70's bgs when season 2 arena was still going on. I didn't care how OP/Geared ppl were in bgs i'd still fight you. No matter how many times i died or got pwned cuz i knew i'd be on equal lvl one day. Be it skill, gear, addons or whatever. And i bet most pvpers had exp something like that when they first started out.
And now all i hear is ZOMG !!! Gear Gear Gear... What's the point of pvp if that's all you care about. And from reading all the complaints, whining,criticism some of you aren't pvpers at all. Or don't care. That much is obvious. If you want the best gear your gonna to have to work for it. Nothings free. Not IRL not in Wow. I don't expect to be decked out in T7.xxx or better when not pveing why not use the same measurement for pvp? And don't tell me you can't get gear. Cuz Blizz went out of it's way to make good gear for everyone not just people that just pvp all day or raid all day. But of course if you want to have the best gear your goin to have to be the best. There's nothing wrong with that. Nobody is forcing you to do nething, you don't like it don't do it. Plain and simple.
All this hate is really frustrating to see. Why should i leave for WAR or whatever just to pvp ? I have friends in wow, i loved playing Wow even with all it's problems. Am i less entitled to play Wow becuz i pvp/arena? No, but sadly that seems to be the overall sentiment around here.
Ok that's all for now on this topic not just this blog Zach ;). Just got tired of seeing all the hate. Had to give my 2 cents.
Forgive my English/typing. Not my first language after all.
Neph US Velen or used to be ='(
Steve the Steve said...
I belive you are seeing a lot of negativity to these posts because people are feeling left our of an aspect of the game they enjoy.
Most players play WoW for progression=fun. Gear is the route to progessing in the PvE and PvP game.
The flaw with arena is that the matches are not skill based. With gear/class/spec disparity other, more skilled players, may find themselves unable to obtain high ranks due to them even entering the system at a later time than other PvPers and they will have to face better geared opponents.
As an arena player I hate the system since it excuses my losses against higher geared players and it cheapens my wins against lesser geared teams. I probably will switch to playing more PvE in Wrath primarily because of this.
I would applaud Blizz if they simply sold PvP gear purely from honor/marks and let all players compete in Arena matches with equal pre-made gear sets. At least this change alone would solve the largest issue with the Arena. Most of all I would know that my team actually earned a 2k rank instead of rolling over lesser teams.

I use a 5L(slightly smaller than a loaf of bread) to hold my "Emergency Supplies"; basically the 10 Essentials plus some(extra fire supplies as well). This is a bag that gets tossed in the bottom of every pack I take hiking. It has survived some wet encounters and kept the contents much drier than I expected. Durability is superb and reflective OR logo on the orange fabric makes night time spotting easy. It's the perfect size for what I intended it to do, and there is a little bit more room for extra gear to be stashed in it. As with every OR item I own, superb quality and function.

Durable and waterproof

light.Reasonably waterproof (opening doesn't seal but get's pretty tight wouldn't trust it underwater for too long).durable, stuffed it tight full of clothes and miscellaneous gear with no failures.Fits perfectly in my old DaKine Heli-Pro to keep contents dry after a few powder spills.
Update: After 20 miles of paddling this thing kept all gear inside bone dry, Very impressed with the water resistance.

After initially airing on Showtime, a CD/DVD version of the Billy Joel documentary A Matter of Trust: The Bridge to Russia is hitting stores on May 19, but you can catch a sneak peek of one of the performances right now on Amazon.com.
As previously reported, A Matter of Trust: The Bridge to Russia documents Billy Joel's history-making concert tour of the former Soviet Union in 1987. He played six shows in all, in Moscow and in Leningrad, which is now known as St. Petersburg. Amazon is currently hosting the exclusive premiere of Billy's live performance of "Pressure," which has never been released before. In a nice touch at the end, instead of singing, "1, 2, 3, 4, Pressure!" he counts to four in Russian.
"Pressure," from 1982's The Nylon Curtain , is a song that Billy still plays in concert to this day. The fun of the video is seeing a much younger, slimmer Billy, with a lot more hair and a big-shouldered '80s jacket, belt out the tune while standing, not sitting, behind a piano.
A Matter of Trust: The Bridge to Russia is available in several different formats, including a deluxe edition boxed set, a stand-alone concert film and a two-CD set.

Cellulite Treatment: affordable ways to fight cellulite
Cellulite is a term commonly used to describe the dimpled appearance of skin that occurs in fattier regions such as the abdomen, buttocks and thighs. Women are more likely to be afflicted with cellulite than men, and will most likely experience some degree of cellulite in their lifetime. Here we will discuss some of the causes of cellulite and inform you about an effect cellulite treatment available.
Cellulite Treatment: Some reasons you may experience cellulite
While doctors can't claim for sure what causes cellulite, there are a number of common factors that most doctors will agree play a role in an individual's cellulite problem. Its popular belief that cellulite only effects those that are significantly overweight. This is untrue, as cellulite can affect anyone as early in life as their teen years and regardless if the person is someone that is physically fit. While exercise and a healthy diet will definitely help an individual diminish signs of cellulite, it will not in its entirety get rid of it or keep it from happening.
Because cellulite is primarily a female issue, some doctors feel that it is caused by a woman's estrogen levels. Many women will develop cellulite after having a baby or while taking birth control. These are both situations where a woman would be displaying high levels of estrogen.
Genetics may also play a role in whether or not you will develop cellulite, considering your genes tell your body how and where to store fat.
It is also believed that an individual that frequently partakes in crash-dieting will be more likely to experience cellulite. Cellulite treatment in the form of a crash diet usually involves significantly decreasing a person's calories intake. Because of this your body thinks it's starving and will begin eating muscle and saturated fat, potentially causing the fatty pockets that cause cellulite.
Cellulite Treatment: How to fight back
There are several options available to treat your cellulite. A treatment can be performed at home, with simple home remedies such as a coffee scrub, which is designed to act as a diuretic, sucking the liquid from fatty deposits on areas where you experience cellulite. This will also help to give your skin a firmer appearance, but will only act as a temporary solution for cellulite reduction. Massaging the areas affected with cellulite for five to ten minutes daily may also help to diminish your cellulite as well as promote better circulation in these areas.
There are also several cellulite treatment creams on the market that claim to help diminish the appearance of cellulite. The results for cellulite creams will vary depending on the individual and how extensive their cellulite problem is.
Cellulite Treatment: What now?
If you've tried a cellulite treatment or two and are still unsatisfied by the appearance of cellulite that just won't seem to stay away permanently, you can try procedures such as Lippodissolve injections or ultrasound cellulite treatment that may be more effective in getting rid of your cellulite. These procedures can be pretty expensive, depending on the severity of your cellulite and it won't be guaranteed to get rid of your cellulite permanently.

Provided by Lubbock Power & Light
Power is now available for all customers in the LP&L service territory. LP&L crews have been working rotating sixteen hour shifts in the field, night and day, starting Wednesday night. These crews, along with dispatch and LP&L staff, worked without interruption through the weekend in order to close out all reported outages.
The storm, which carried with it winds well over 80 miles per hour, caused severe damage to infrastructure throughout the entire service territory which led to over 19,000 reported outages at its peak. By early Thursday morning, the LP&L electric system was fully up and running and all major lines had been re-energized. Crews then began the longer task of repairing all remaining individual outages.
As of Saturday, at 11:30 am CST, the live electric outage map located on the LP&L website showed 895 outages. LP&L set a goal of 90% restoration of reported outages by midnight Saturday. That goal was exceeded with 98% of reported outages restored at approximately 10:30pm last night. Work continued over the night and through Sunday in order to meet the stated goal of having power available to all customers by Sunday evening. That goal was met at 7:42pm Sunday night.
The damage to the LP&L system caused by Wednesday night's storm has been estimated to be the largest since the tornado of 1970. Hardest hit areas, which included the region surrounding Clovis Highway required substantial construction over an extended period of time. The additional contract crews from Dixie Electric and Bird Electric brought in to work starting Saturday morning helped the LP&L crews tackle these larger construction projects in the hardest hit areas.
This has been a trying time for everyone involved in the aftermath of this storm but no one has been tested more than those customers who remained without power for an extended period of time. Their patience and understanding throughout this process has been greatly appreciated. LP&L crews, many of whom were also without power in their homes, worked continuously from start to finish to make this as quick a restoration as possible.
If over the next few days any customers have lingering issues with their electric service, we encourage them to please call (806) 775-2555 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com as soon as possible.

Seattle Children's Hospital is among the sites that train UW's pediatric physicians
The University of Washington School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics has been ranked eighth among the top pediatric programs at medical schools in the U.S. according to annual rankings of graduate and professional programs provided by U.S. News & World Report. Seattle Children's Hospital is among the sites that train pediatric physicians.
"We are honored to be affiliated with one of the top pediatric-training programs in the country," said Bruder Stapleton, M.D., chief academic officer at Children's and chair of the Department of Pediatrics at the UW School of Medicine. "This ranking demonstrates the level of excellence, compassion and commitment the UW faculty based at Seattle Children's put into their work every day."
The UW Department of Pediatrics consists of 300 physicians, researchers and others holding academic appointments at the UW School of Medicine. Many of the faculty conduct research in an effort to someday eliminate pediatric disease. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Children's was recently ranked fifth in the nation in NIH funding for children's hospitals; up six spots from the previous year. The Department of Pediatrics faculty at all research sites now hold more than $ 40 million dollars in annual NIH support.
"This past year the department also had an exceptional applicant pool for our residency program with 1000 applications for 33 positions," said Stapleton. "The competition for the residency program demonstrates the excellent national image of our educational programs."
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Seattle Children's has been delivering superior patient care while advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation.

The First Thanksgiving: A Look at the Menu
Food News
When you sit down to a Thanksgiving dinner in two days, you'll probably be sitting down to a meal that includes what we've come to view as holiday classics: turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, a few pies (pumpkin, pecan, apple). But how close is this to the menu at the so-called first Thanksgiving?
According to the Smithsonian, there are some similarities, but definite omissions. The only surviving primary sources that reference the meal shared by the Pilgrims and Wampanoag at Plymouth Colony in 1621 confirm that "wildfowl" was there, in addition to corn (in grain form for bread or for porridge), and venison.
Beyond that, though, the menu is a little murky. Kathleen Wall, a foodways culinarian at Plimoth Plantation, suspects that goose or duck was a more likely choice over wild turkey, with swan and passenger pigeons also making an appearance! And don't expect bread stuffing: the birds would have been stuffed with onions and herbs, as was the custom of the Pilgrims then.
Additionally, there likely would have been eels and shellfish, including lobster, clams and mussels. And pies? Well, if there were any, they would have been meat pies (no sweet pastry pies!) and definitely no cranberry sauce. (It'd be another 50 years before cranberry sauce becomes a staple accompaniment to meat.)

Where's the Seaduck?
Wampanoag peoples were also instrumental in teaching many Pilgrims how to survive the harsh weather conditions. How funny about the seafood, a recent post by a foraging guy mentioned seafood for Thanksgiving and everyone acted like he was crazy.
So very thankful to the Pilgrims and the Indians for getting together to create such a wonderful affair that we carry on as a tradition today. But how fortunate we are to have the wonderful food that has progressed through the years. I am so thankful for life and all those that are in it with me.
This is so interesting! When I finally have thanksgiving and my house I am going to it this way, but plus some sweets!
Had the pleasure at work last night of explaining the origins of Thanksgiving to a co-worker from Bangladesh. Told her that since no-one knows exactly what they ate, turkey & green bean casserole (with canned mushroom soup) was not mandatory!
My aging mother, who is now living with us, has reminded us (a few times *smile*) that when she was a child, they didn't have turkey. The families all gathered together early in the day, and the men folk all went hunting for rabbits. My great-grandmother would then dress and fry them for the noon meal. This was in the mountains of Central Kentucky, so perhaps it was a tradition passed down for many years. But, more than likely, they could not afford a turkey back then.

Trane chiller issues (16 Posts)

Trane chiller issuesHello all!
So at the end of last season, I got my refrigeration license and started reading everything I could find. I feel like I am pretty good with residential AC but one of my accounts has a Trane 40 ton chiller with a cooling tower. After going through the entire unit, I found that under full load, it has some issues. The superheat is fine, but the subcooling was way off and there were bubbles in the sight glass. It took 15lbs of R-22 to get the sight glass clear, but the subcooling is still way off and throttling back on the building flow only does so much. I am also still under on the suction pressure but am over with the discharge pressure at full load. The numbers are much better with half of the compressor unloaded.
Am I going to see the subcooling drop out to somewhere close to normal (12-15*) as I approach the correct suction pressure for the condensor water temp and the outgoing water temp I am running? Oil level is fine, pulls right at the max amps under full load. I am a bit worried about having to add over 15lbs of refrigerant to a running system.
Thanks in advance for discussing a newbie topic.

Chillers are coolSpecifics are needed here,I think.PSIG's,temps-both freon and water. Curious though,what is the chiller chilling? AC? Production line ? How many lb.s of r22 does the system/reciever hold ?What type of chiller heat exchanger?Sight glass or moisture indicator?Good Luck to you in your new field of work.!
Timco June 20, 2011 @ 7:58 PM

SpecificsCooling tower water out is 90*, in was like 75-80*. It did not reach 80* here today. Cooling tower working very well, great flow and new nozzles. Hydro-air system for 45 apartments. Cold generator, water-cooled, condensing, 40 ton. The suction line was 47* and the P/T chart gave me 35* as my calculated temp based on the pressure. There does not seem to be a moisture indicator, just a clear sight glass. I will have to pull up the manual on this chiller and give you the R-22 total capacity. The building water was 43* out (setpoint) and maybe 47* back, (low delta T) but it was not a very hot day. On a chill call, it runs at half-unloaded because there is very little difference in the water temps. The liquid line temp hovered around 80-90* depending on if half of the compressor was unloaded due to being close to setpoint. Filling 15lbs got rid of the bubbles in the sight glass but just started to drop the liquid line temp. I left the superheat set based on the half-unloaded load and jumped the unloader out to stay on half output because of mild conditions and the reluctance to add more refrigerant.
I would love to learn this. Thanks for the help.

Dirty Condenser?It sounds like your condenser may need de-scaling or perhaps the strainer is clogged. 10 - 15* delta T under part load and a mild day is too high.Bob Boan
You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.

scale / condenserSo last year I did a de-scale and the solution came out pretty clean. I used a de-scaling solution from Johnstone supply. As for the strainer, is that the large canister in line with the liquid line? I assume I have to recover, fix, evacuate, and recharge to clean the strainer and not just pump down and close the discharge service valve? Should I charge to the correct suction pressure under full load first and see if I get decent results before going through the entire recover / evac / charge process?
The 10-15* delta T is on the cooling tower loop. The building loop is very tight. maybe 5*.
I really appreciate the thoughts on this. It will mean a lot to my customer to have this flying.Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.This post was edited by an admin on June 20, 2011 9:55 PM.

StrainerNo, I was referring to a strainer in your condenser water line. It looks like your not transferring heat efficiently from the condenser to the water. A high delta T would indicate insufficient water flow through the condenser.Bob Boan

strainerWhen I fired the unit up 2 weeks ago I cleaned that, but can easily check that again. It pops right out. At start-up, the outlet to the tower is pretty hot, and the water coming back is much cooler. As the chiller takes the building water down, it equalizes pretty fast. The temp to and from the tower were pretty close when I left. excellent pressure at the tower nozzles.
The only strainer I am aware of is in the tower.Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

Timco.Good morning! Is that canister in the liquid line the filter/drier ? It is very imporant to pump down that freon out of the liquid line/canister before changing the f/d where ever it is .What were the pressurers? Something else to read about is Legionellia Disease and Towers. It's amazing!Got a model # ?,I'll get a manual and read it.Why close the discharge valve ? There is no King valve ?This post was edited by an admin on June 21, 2011 7:34 AM.

pressuresThe suction started off at about 65psi but after running for an hour was down at 50. At 90* condenser water, and 42* chilled water temps, I should have 61.1psi. Bubbles in the sight glass. (half empty under full load, just bubbles half unloaded) I brought it back up to 56psi with 15lbs of R-22, full load conditions.
Discharge was 220psi or so, and I should have 204.7 based on the above conditions.
Says liquid capacity of the evap is 27.2 but I think that is the water, not the refrigerant. Does not specify in the manual.
I only considered closing the discharge service valve when cleaning or servicing the filter / drier to be safe but have not done this as I did not know if I needed a complete evacuation prior to servicing the filter / drier. No 'king valve' noticed.
On the tower, I run an anti-scaling solution but not sure if that would do anything for the leigonellia. Tower is fairly new, but has run great so no homework or manual on that part.
Thank you!

How's that chiller?Has the comp been operating fully loaded w/ a fully loaded system?

full loadWas blowing fuses, 100A. Was kicking off on overloads. Seems to be running much better since I charged with R-22 and fixed the spray nozzles in the tower, but kicked off today, I am back down there tomorrow.
I have 5 gallons of 'condenser / tower de-scaleing additive that I will be adding 1:15 and it claims to de-scale even heavily scaled condensers in hydronic open & closed systems with no down time.
I am also bringing my refrigerant pump to get the rest of the can of R-22 in there if needed.
Any last minute things to check would be appreciated. I have checked the anti-recycle timer and the 2-stage t-stat and other components, and all are working well.Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

InfoOK. I won't be able to get the tower recirc pump's pressures because there are no tappings out there. I had it rebuilt last year due to leaking seals.
The hard part will be getting it up & running. Under full load, it is tripping out and will restart if manually reset and the anti-recycle timer times out 5 minutes.Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

SubcoolingBe careful with taking too much stock in liquid subcooling readings. Water cooled equipment has limited capacity for subcooling the liquid, because the amount of subcooling can never exceed the condenser approach temperature. Water cooled equipment will normally operate between 5 and 10 degrees approach on the condenser at full load; even less at part load. Charging should clear up the sight glass plus a few pounds for a chiller of this size. Your numbers point to an overcharge. Head pressure should be the saturation pressure of the leaving cooling water, plus a little for approach.

In agreement with Mr blackwellI hate when i have a chiller with hydro unit in a apartment building.many times not enough load on the loop due to clogged air filter,dirty coils,,blocked return.Indoor fans not running.closed register.
The fact that your saturated temps are dropping even at part load seen to point me in the direction of the above mention possibilities

deadDiscoloration of the oil. Very high suction pressure. Valve rattle. Compressor shuts down on thermal overload even when run on half-load. No cooling capacity. Blows 150A fuses.

Media Release
The Hon Dr Sharman Stone
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage
Federal Member for Murray
2 July 2004
If you are contemplating spending your time next week sailing on the Derwent or Great Oyster Bay or fishing for crays out from Devonport, the Bureau of Meteorology is making that planning easier for you.
Dr Sharman Stone, Parliamentary Secretary responsible for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said from this week, coastal waters forecasts issued by the Bureau for Tasmania will be extended from two days to four days.
"It is now easier for the Bureau to continuously upgrade forecasts as weather changes happen thanks to improved computer predictions and communications systems," Dr Stone said.
"This means people can be alerted to changes sooner than has been possible in the past, making that weekend fishing trip or day out boating easier to plan."
Dr Stone said Queensland was the first state to receive the service.
"From mid-July this year, four-day coastal waters forecasts for all of Australia's 37,000 km coastline will be a daily feature of weather services from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology," Dr Stone said.
"Forecasts will be consistent throughout Australia and include warnings of strong winds and information on wind strength and direction as well as sea and swell information for up to four days ahead and up to 100 km offshore.
"Forecasts will be issued twice a day, once in the morning between 4 am and 6 am and again in the early evening between 4 pm and 6 pm.
"Updates will also occur during the day if conditions are expected to change."

Divide the tomato mixture into 2 medium ramekins. Top each ramekin with 1 egg. Crumble the saffron threads with your fingers and sprinkle them over the eggs. Bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, until whites and yolk are set (a few minutes less if you prefer your egg yolks slightly runny). Remove from the oven and sprinkle a tiny bit more salt and pepper on top. Cool for 3 minutes or so before serving.

General Information about Taking Heart Failure Medicines
Most people with heart failure require several medicines for the best results. It is common for your doctor or nurse to increase the dose of these medicines even if you feel better after starting them. That is because most heart failure medicines work best at certain doses. Their purpose is not only to make you feel better, in the short run, but also to treat the underlying disease and improve your health, in the long run. Therefore, it is important to take all of your medicines at the prescribed doses even if you are feeling better.
If you are taking all of your medicines and feel worse, be sure to tell your doctor or nurse. You may be feeling worse because of heart failure or another illness. You may also be experiencing side effects from your medicines. All medicines can have side effects. The side effects can be mild and hardly noticeable, or they can be bothersome. If you think your pills are causing side effects, tell your doctor or nurse about your symptoms. They will work with you to manage your symptoms and make you feel better. For example, some of your medicines may decrease your blood pressure and make you feel dizzy. Staggering the times you take of some of your medicines can decrease this problem.

An art history blog post from Famous Paintings Reviewed.
Although most famous painters lived in New York in the 1950s, Richard Diebenkorn (1922-93) established a reputation as the leading West Coast abstract expressionist. His paintings significantly shaped the history of modern painting and inspired legions of modern painters.
With that pedigree, it's remarkable that the best known works by Richard Diebenkorn, The Ocean Park Series, are being featured for the first time in a museum exhibition. Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series is at the Corcoran for its sole East Coast showing.
Richard Diebenkorn. Ocean Park Series, No. 6, 1968. Oil on canvas, 91 3/4" x 71 3/4". Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC.
After garnering acclaim for his abstract expressionist paintings, Diebenkorn shifted to figurative painting and with fellow painters David Parks and Elmer Bischoff, founded the Bay Area Figurative Movement. This loosely-formed group resisted Abstract Expressionism as it was practiced (and preached) on the East Coast, while championing its stylistic qualities.
Despite earning critical praise for these figurative paintings, the mercurial Diebenkorn again shifted his style in 1966 and returned to abstract painting. One year later, he embarked on The Ocean Park Series, which would consume two decades and yield 145 abstract paintings and nearly 500 works on paper, including collages, drawings and paintings.
In some of Diebenkorn's earliest works like Ocean Park Series. No. 6, one senses hints from figurative paintings. Are those legs, or the backside of a woman? His pink-toned area on the right reinforces the presence of flesh.
Several years later, though, no figuration remains. Typified by Ocean Park, No. 27, these Diebenkorn paintings consist of architectural rectangles carved out by thin colored or black lines, while the tops and sides of the canvas feature reworked strips of color.
Richard Diebenkorn. Ocean Park Series, No. 27, 1970. Oil on canvas, 100" by 80". Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY.
Sections of the canvas are expanses of layered colors that have been scraped, erased, revised and repainted. The consistency of the paint itself varies from opaque to translucent, with the latter exposing the marks, brushstrokes and hues of prior iterations.
Seeing the Ocean Park paintings in mass, you realize that these are not abstract representations of Ocean Park itself, the Santa Monica neighborhood in which Richard Diebenkorn had his studio. Surely he was influenced by the brilliant light, atmosphere, space and water around him, but I think the greater inspiration came from elsewhere.
Diebenkorn commented that while he was often pigeonholed as an abstract painter or a figurative painter, he considered himself a landscape painter. In 1951 he took a flight from New Mexico to San Francisco, after which he observed,
The aerial view showed me a rich variety of ways of treating a flat plane – like flattened mud or paint. Forms operating in shallow depth reveal a huge range of possibilities to the painter.
It's these possibilities that are so brilliantly explored in Ocean Park Series, and that define Richard
Richard Diebenkorn. Ocean Park Series, No. 116, 1979. Oil on canvas, 82" by 72". Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
Diebenkorn's legacy in the history of modern painting -- he's a landscape painter.
Do you see these works as landscapes, as I do, or as purely abstract paintings? Have you seen this exhibition? Please weigh in.
Richard Diebenkorn: The Ocean Park Series will be at the Corcoran Gallery of Art until September 23.
