Comments On Jan 02, 2013:The stock filters are messy and don't flow well. They also need cleaned very often. The performance of the K&N is unbeatable IMO. The aluminum intake is tapered making it flow better also. A must do for your Raptor.

Butler basketball fans have come to expect a strong effort from Andrew Smith on the court. The senior center has also excelled in his effort in the classroom and was recognized on Thursday for such.
Smith was named to the 2012-13 Capital One Academic All-District V men's basketball team, chosen by the College Sports Information Directors of America. His selection makes him a candidate for the 2012-13 Capital One Academic All-America Team.
Smith currently is the second-leading scorer (11.7) and rebounder (5.4) for the Bulldogs, who are ranked No. 9 in the Associated Press national poll and No. 10 in the USA Today/Coaches poll.
He's started Butler's first 20 games this season and 87 of the Bulldogs' last 89 contests, including both NCAA Final Four games in 2011. The 6-11 center was Butler's leading scorer and second-leading rebounder a year ago.
A finance major from Zionsville, Smith is one of 30 finalists for the 2012-13 Senior CLASS Award, presented for notable achievement in community, classroom, character and competition.
Smith ranks fourth in the Atlantic 10 Conference in field goal percentage (.575), and he stands sixth on Butler's all-time list for field goal shooting (.553). He's one of nine players who share Butler's single season record for games played (38). Smith is the only current collegiate player who has seen action in two NCAA Division I national championship games.
Also named to the District V team were Cody Zeller and Jordan Hulls of Indiana, Aaron Craft of Ohio State and Ben Averkamp of Loyola.
The first team honorees from District V, which represents Division I schools from Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ontario and Manitoba, will be considered with All-Academic picks from seven other districts for Academic All-America selection, which will be released in February.

Learn what to do when your chickens stop laying eggs. The final chapter in the oval of life.
(This is the sixth and final post in our Raising Chickens 101 beginner series.)
Sooner or later, your chickens will stop laying eggs. When depends on the chicken. Most of ours went "off lay" as the days grew shorter. They laid fewer and fewer eggs until one day they simply stopped. One or two continued to lay sporadically throughout the cold, dark days of winter, although most of those eggs froze and cracked before we got out to collect them. (We gave them to the dog, usually raw and right on the spot. He had a lovely, shiny coat and produced sulfurous gas at inopportune moments.)
You can extend the laying period for your hens by putting a light hooked to a timer in the henhouse. This will give the hens a couple of extra hours of artificial daylight, but the natural pattern for most hens is to stop laying in the winter.
As the hens go off lay, you have two ways of dealing with them. One is to resign yourself to a lot of chicken stew over the winter. Year-old hens usually aren't tender enough to roast. The other way is to give them the winter off and wait. They'll begin laying again in the spring. (I've heard people say that they couldn't keep chickens because "you have to kill them when they stop laying eggs." Not true. We never killed a hen simply because she stopped laying.)
We found that our older hens usually produce fewer eggs, but larger ones. In a production flock, this is a problem because consistency of supply and size is important. In the home flock, who cares? (Another advantage to older hens: They're used to you and are less flighty and panicky.)
Even if you decide to keep your laying hens until they die of old age, you will eventually have to dispose of a chicken. Maybe you'll have a sick bird, an overaggressive rooster, a hen injured by a predator, or a chicken that eats eggs. Maybe that mixed batch of chicks will turn out to be half cockerels, and who needs six roosters for six hens? Trust me, the hens won't thank you!
The simplest way to kill a chicken—so I'm told as I've never done this and I've never seen it done—is to wring its neck. You have to be quick and forceful to avoid causing pain. We used the traditional chop: cutting the chicken's throat. As far as I understand, these are the two main ways to kill a chicken. Shooting is also a possibility, but it's noisy and probably also illegal in most places.
An axe and a block (a stump or upended round of firewood will do, as long as it's stable) are probably the simplest method for people new to this age-old practice. There are a couple of ways to hypnotize or calm the chicken. One is to place the chicken breast-down on a flat surface while holding its legs. Wave a piece of chalk in front of the chicken's beak until you have the bird's attention, then draw a line straight out from the beak for 12 to 18 inches. The bird will focus on the line and not move or flap.
As most chopping blocks aren't that long, you might want to use an alternate method. Lay the bird on its side, with one wing under it. Tap your finger in front once at the point of the beak (but not touching), then about four inches in front of the beak. Repeat alternating taps until the bird calms down and holds still.
If you're worried about your aim, you can pound two long nails into the stump, far enough apart to span the chicken's neck but close enough together to keep its head from slipping through. Lay the chicken on the block with its neck between the nails and apply enough tension to the legs to stretch the neck and keep the bird in place. Then use the axe. If you intend to eat the chicken, hold it up by the legs to let the blood drain. There will be flapping, but rest assured that the bird is dead and doesn't feel any pain.
Have a pot of scalding (140° to 160°F) water ready. If you don't have a thermometer, you can tell that the water is hot enough if you can see your face reflected in it. Dip the bird for 20 to 30 seconds. Afterwards you can wipe the feathers off with your hand. Chop off the feet, then cut around the cloaca (anus—chickens use the same opening for excretion and egg-laying), being careful not to nick the intestines, and scoop the innards out with your hand. Rinse with cold water. If you can get all of this done in 20 minutes while the oven preheats, you can cook the bird immediately; otherwise, let it rest for 24 hours, until rigor mortis relaxes.
People who raise their own food know where it comes from, what's gone into it, and how it's been treated. Whether your chickens are ultimately intended for the table or killed simply to end pain or illness and then buried in the back forty, remember that this is a responsibility that comes with the job. Doing it, and doing it well, means that you're doing your best by your birds.

Elizabeth and her husband also have six and a half years experience running a pet store. On top of that, she's kept more animals than you can imagine from cats to cockatoos!

Now I know it is not Christmas time yet but these are long term projects. If I started one today I probably couldn't finish by Christmas. Oh well maybe next year.
Now if I live another 50 years I might get them done...that is if I let my blog go. I just need a little more time.
I am joining in with Little Red House for Mosaic Monday. It is such a treat to see the mosaics out there. Everyone is so creative.

Boehringer Ingelheim to close major API plant in US
9:54 AM MDT | August 16, 2013 | Natasha Alperowicz
Boehringer Ingelheim Chemicals said on Thursday that it intends to close its Petersburg, VA, active pharmaceutical ingredients plant by end of 2014, laying off 240 people. The company will begin to phase out operations starting in December of this year. The move follows a review of Boehringer Ingelheim's manufacturing capacity needed to meet industry demands and unsuccessful attempts to find a buyer for the plant, which includes several facilities on about 180 acres. "This was a very difficult decision and one that we did not make until we had...

The most common problem with the esophagus is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter, which acts as a valve between the esophagus and stomach, becomes weak or relaxes, causing stomach contents to rise up. The most common problem with the esophagus is GERD, which can cause damage to the esophagus over time.
Anyone, including infants and children, can have GERD. If not treated, it can lead to more serious health problems, including the risk of developing cancer of the esophagus. If you have had symptoms of GERD and have been using antacids or other over-the-counter reflux medications for more than two weeks, see your healthcare provider.
Patients with GERD need a full evaluation of their esophageal anatomy and function. The work-up for GERD typically begins with an upper endoscopy, in which the lining of the esophagus can be evaluated and biopsied to determine if any premalignant changes have occurred (Barrett's esophagus). A hiatal hernia may also be detected during this procedure. Hiatal hernias and other structural variations may be further evaluated by an upper GI barium swallow exam, which will allow the esophagus and stomach to be visualized on an X-ray. The function of the esophageal muscles should also be evaluated by a manometry test, which measures the pressures in the esophagus during swallowing.
The diagnosis and severity of GERD is finally confirmed with a 24-hour pH test. This is accomplished either by placing a small tube into the esophagus which protrudes from the nose or an implantable device that eventually passes out through the GI tract. Information regarding acid exposure to the lower esophagus is recorded and may be analyzed to generate a score (DeMeester score) that describes the severity of GERD.
GERD is initially managed medically using H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors, as well as lifestyle modifications. Many people can improve their symptoms by:
- Avoiding alcohol and spicy, fatty or acidic foods that trigger heartburn
- Eating smaller meals
- Not eating close to bedtime
- Losing weight if needed
- Wearing loose-fitting clothes
Both H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) relieve symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). H2 blockers include:
- Famotidine (Pepcid AC, Pepcid Oral)
- Cimetidine (Tagamet, Tagamet HB)
- Ranitidine (Zantac, Zantac 75, Zantac Efferdose, Zantac injection, and Zantac Syrup)
- Nizatidine Capsules (Axid AR, Axid Capsules, Nizatidine Capsules)
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are:
- Omeprazole (Prilosec), also available over-the-counter (without a prescription)
- Esomeprazole (Nexium)
- Lansoprazole (Prevacid)
- Rabeprazole (AcipHex)
- Pantoprazole (Protonix)
- Dexlansoprazole (Kapidex)
When a person cannot manage severe GERD symptoms through medication or lifestyle changes or if tests show premalignant damage to the esophagus (Barrett's esophagus), your doctor will likely recommend surgery.
Surgical Options for GERD
LINX Reflux Management System
The LINX System is a small flexible band of interlinked titanium beads with magnetic cores. The magnetic attraction between the beads helps the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) resist opening to gastric pressures, preventing reflux from the stomach into the esophagus. LINX is designed so that swallowing forces temporarily break the magnetic bond, allowing food and liquid to pass normally into the stomach. Magnetic attraction of the device is designed to close the LES immediately after swallowing, restoring the body's natural barrier to reflux.
The LINX system is placed around the esophagus just above the stomach using a common, minimally invasive surgical technique called laparoscopy. Patients are placed under general anesthesia during the procedure, which generally lasts less than an hour. The LINX System does not require any anatomic alteration of the stomach. Most patients go home the day after surgery and resume a normal diet.
Other surgical treatments for GERD involve a procedure known as a fundoplication. The surgeon first tightens the opening in the diaphragm through which the esophagus enters the abdomen from the chest and then wraps part of the stomach partially or completely around the lower esophagus. If a hiatal hernia is present it is repaired as well. Traditionally fundoplications were performed through an incision in the abdomen. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center offers two far less invasive options: The laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication and the EsophyX fundoplication, which is performed completely endoscopically, without external incisions.
Laparoscopic Nissen Using Single Multiport
This minimally invasive approach utilizes specialized video equipment and instruments that allow a surgeon to perform the fundoplication through several tiny incisions, most of which are less than a half-centimeter in size. Advantages include shorter hospitalization, less pain, fewer and smaller scars and a faster recovery. Laparoscopic fundoplication is safe and effective. However, in the presence of adhesions or variations in anatomy, this method may become dangerous and your surgeon may need to continue by making the traditional incision to safely complete the operation.
Incisionless Fundoplication (EsophyX)
Endoluminal tissue fusion, a relatively new type of fundoplication is performed using the EsophyX device. The EsophyX is passed into the stomach through the mouth with the guidance of an endoscope, or small flexible camera. Once the device is passed through the mouth and into the stomach, the surgeon places small plastic fasteners that fold the upper stomach unto itself and recreate the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Re-creation of the LES stops the stomach acid from backing up into the esophagus, thus providing relief from the sensation of heartburn. This approach does not require any skin incisions and is therefore associated with fewer complications, less pain, and a faster recovery than other surgical options. While the procedure often requires an overnight hospital stay, it provides prompt improvement in symptoms, with a rapid recovery.
Complications, although rare, include bleeding and infection. Rare postoperative complications may involve difficulty with swallowing or the fundoplication slipping into the chest.
Why Choose Ohio State
Why seek treatment at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center?
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we offer a variety of advanced procedures and personalized treatment. We are leaders in the field of endoluminal, incisionless fundoplication and have performed over 500 laproscopic antireflux operations; laparoscopic repair has been the standard here for fifteen years. We were the first center in the U.S. to perform the Esophyx and thus have the longest experience of any American center for this type of treatment for GERD.
Also, in accordance with the American College of Physicians (ACP), American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) and American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) we have developed a "fast-track" methodology to coordinate care for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, chronic diarrhea, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, Hepatitis C and abnormal liver function tests.
In 2014, Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center received the "2014 Gastrointestinal Care Excellence Award" from Healthgrades, the leading online resource for information about physicians and hospitals. The award recognizes hospitals for superior outcomes in bowel obstruction treatment, colorectal surgeries, gallbladder removal, esophageal/stomach surgeries, treatment of gastrointestinal bleeds, treatment for pancreatitis, and small intestine surgeries. Patients who have these treatments or surgeries at these nationally recognized hospitals have a lower risk of dying or experiencing a complication during their hospital stay.

Are woman in mainstream music good role models for young girls?
I am so puzzled why so many young girls seem to think that female pop stars who are plastered on the radio and TV are considered role models in this day in age? I certainly wouldn't look up to them and certainly wouldn't want my children (if I had any) to be following their action.
Although that is just my opinion, do you think that there is any good coming from these so called "role models"
Sep 15 2013: Thank for the question! I had a question (clsoed now) that I think is closely related to this question (http://www.ted.com/conversations/18502/should_we_expect_anyone_in_the.html). Most of my thoughts are most likely reflected in this conversation, but I'll give you an abridged version of some of my thoughts. I think that that entertainer in mainstream music should only be looked up to as entertainers, not people or role models. In fact, I don't think anyone should be looked up to as *the* role model. I think—if we should try to model ourselves after anyone (which I don't think we should)— we should sort of make a mosaic of different people that we like different aspects about, and try to do what this frankenstein would do. Essentially, this means just observing what other people say and do, and then picking up what we like and saying/doing that.
Hopefully this helped and please ask questions regarding to this comment or just other questions!
Sep 16 2013: Kai, I seem to remember that you are a high school student. Would you say that the girls at your school actually do consider female musicians and reality stars as role models?
I ask this because I wonder whether people may under-estimate young girls by assuming such things about them.
My daughters are in their twenties, but I am fairly certain that if you put portrait photos of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Snooki, any Kardashian, Beyonce, Taylor Swift or any other contemporary entertainment star into a "line-up" of one hundred photos of women of that age, neither could pick out more than one.
Thinking back to my youth, I could have picked, say, Elizabeth Taylor, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Carol King, Diana Ross, and Mama Cass out of a line-up, but there is no way I would have thought to consider them as role models. I am not criticizing any of these women, but the idea of them as role models never occurred to me.
Sep 16 2013: Good memory! I'm currently a high school senior.
I would say most girls at my school wouldn't consider femal entertainers (if you consider reality stars as entertainers) as role models. There is some possible error from generalizing from the females I know at my school however. Most of the girls I know are fairly serious about school and/or education, and I would predict that there would be more girls that see entertainers as role models if they cared about education. (Hopefully that was intelligible.)
I'd say most "older" people have a fairly bad image of young people in general, as it seems are mishaps and idiots get the attention rather than the 'average' and 'above average' teenagers. But that's is a side note.
I would say that many girls at my school could identify most of the people in the first line-up you mentioned (and I could pick out about three in your line-up), just because of the large usage of technology and social media by many people at my school.
When I hear people idolizing entertainers (or really anyone), I never really understand what they mean, since their reasons are usually faily superficial. Thanks for the comment and questions!
Sep 16 2013: I don't think most older people have a bad impression of young people. I think older people just worry, particularly when potential causes of worry tend to be sensationalized in popular culture.Sep 28 2013: Are mothers good role models for young girls? Are teachers? Are soldiers? Are doctors? It depends on who the individual in question is. No profession is monolithic in the nature of its influence. Who gets to determine what a "good" role model is and what are they going to do about it once they've made that determination? The world is and always has been filled with a wide array of choices as to how to live our lives. Teaching children how to think critically is much more important than protecting them from any set of "bad" influences. They're going to be exposed to those no matter how you try to shield them. The best we can do is teach them how to make self-empowering choices without restricting the freedom of others which is what your question implies.Sep 23 2013: I am so thankful for all your comments this is really helping me with my research, I appreciate your opinions!
It does anger me that it all just gets spoke about then moved on, it seems that it is never questioned more than it should be that lyrics and sexual content in these songs are music videos are allowed on to be played and viewed online and on TV.
It astonishes me that the number one in UK recently ( I am from Glasgow) is or was Jason Derulo's new single "Talk Dirty to me" this does bother me as they charts are counted down during 4-7pm on the radio and young kids are listening to this and wondering what it means and also just repeating and singing the lyrics to their parents and friends which is very disturbing.
Who would you say is an inspirational role model in the music industry for young girls to look up to?
I have many of my own that inspire and influence myself, but would even like to discover and find out who people believe would be a great role model for young girls to look up to.
Oct 11 2013: Your conversation is about to end........and only recently Miley Cirus put out a video that supposedly is a terrible example for young girls.

And I don't think it is mutually exclusive to women in mainstream music.Sep 19 2013: of course they are not.
the real problem stems from a vacuous media and their reporting of pop culture folk in a way that somehow holds them up against a yard-stick of morality that does not even exist in the media world.
there are some female musicians that have desirable qualities - songwriting/poetry being the main one. unfortunately, this is overshadowed by an audience that has come to believe that karaoke-style singing is talent (it is not, it is a skill) and a music industry that follows a formula for churning out mediocre entertainment that supposedly appeals to the widest audience when in fact, it is the simple act of saturating TV, radio and internet with their product that guarantees sales.
every now and then a supreme talent comes along that blows all competition away and ultimately, ends up re-writing the formula as the music industry slowly catches up and churns out carbon copies of the original. needless to say, these people are few and far between.
keeping in mind that mainstream music is not something to look up to but something to entertain, then it is not really a big deal. it is strange to me that screaming girls tend to make up the majority of Beatles, Rolling Stones, One Direction (and so on) fans.
it is a phenomenon that music industry moguls cottoned onto a long time ago and exploit mercilessly.Sep 16 2013: Louise, First I do not consider them role models. It is up to us to separate the music produced from the entertainer, and often the antics of the individual themselves.
There are always some who live exemplary lives. They do not make the news.
I wish you well. Bob.Sep 16 2013: Media is a great influence for young people if ever I have a child I will be monitoring what kind of shows he/she is watching in their young age. However if they are already and mature enough who can discern which is right and wrong then I just let them watch whatever they want. Influence, pressure and temptation cannot shape our life if we will not let it.Sep 15 2013: It doesn't matter whether "good" is coming from these women. They are shaping society, and that is the deeper issue. Our daughters are going out into a world where they are measured against those women, whether they look up to them or not.
However, I'm continually irritated that all the pressure seems to be on female role models in pop culture, when it's not looking like the boys have much to choose from either.Sep 15 2013: I think in nowadays women in mainstream music should be fun for young people. I think young people just like the stars' fancy appearance and the power in setting fashion trends or doing other things. Those stars attract people's so much attention that makes young people adore them. But after the young girls grow mature in mind, most of them will think it's just a good memory in life, those stars are far from their real life.Sep 14 2013: If we believe that anyone in the public eye should be a role model for our children, we as a country are lost. Every person has strengths and weaknesses, we have to teach our children to admire the strengths and avoid those weaknesses. Any parent knows there are things they want their children to emulate from them, but there are things they want their children to learn from parental "mistakes" - guiding advice (sometimes it takes, other times no).
"I am not a role model" -- Charles BarkleySep 13 2013: The wrong behaviors are being paramounted, ie miley cyrus. We are elevating reactionary behavior, and usually reactionary behavior is akin to criminal or immoral activity.
Legitimate talent is processed, but even if you are trying to make an argument about what miley cryus did as something of legitimate you can't analyze what is talented about it because you view it in instantaneous actions which you reacted to.
It's an obvious band-aid for lack of talent and i only hope it incites a movement toward respect of the craft.Sep 13 2013: I think Adele is a good role model, if she dosen't fall prey to using the pain of normal partner heartaches to fuel her creativity too much. There's this saying that is quite apt " Great pain makes great art"
Sep 13 2013: It would be nice if music could step outside of human relation dependency (love and/or loss of individuals). I'd like some philosophical music devoid of specific emotion and more emphasizing sensations.
Sometimes you can't relate to a piece of art and that is perfectly acceptable (visual pieces usually) it would be nice if more music was like that so we could get some differentiation.Sep 13 2013: What happened to the days when they're was dignity, respect, when people fought for what they stood up for, when musicians talked about love, peace, a world in which there is equality. Young girls of today mimic the characters of main stream musicians thinking that it is how life really is. The main stream musicians are far from role models to young girls. First of all you need to figure out the true meaning of the word role model and realise that these musicians have no qualities in terms of by the way they live, the things they say. In music videos the provocative ways they dress make young girls think that it is ok and the way their parents dress is of the old days. That life...life is just about partying, drinking. Terms like YOLO come up and end up being misinterpreted. If you only live once why not use it in a righteous way but the mainstream musicians twist it and make it seem if you only live once then go ahead and be careless with your life. Personally i do not think there is anything good coming from this so called role models.
Sep 13 2013: impulsive society reflected by impulsive mediums, when reflection and substance becomes hip again this will end.. hopefully it's soon, I think a large chunk of the population (even within mainstream target audiences) is sick of the entertainment devoid of thought and respect of the craft.

GRASS VALLEY, CA - "It is a rescuer's worst nightmare."Those are the words of Susan Wallace, who runs the dog rescue operation, Scooter's Pals in Grass Valley.
They found a home for a little terrier from a shelter in Kern County. As they always do, they checked out the new potential owner and decided this was one little dog whose story would have a happy ending.
"We got a call from the owner about ten days ago," said Susan. The owner said the dog had had a stroke and had been put down. Susan was surprised because little Butch, as he was then called, was relatively young and in good health.
But then came another call. This one from a veterinarian in Pinole. It seemed a dog had been brought in by a Good Samaritan after it had been found critically injured at a campground in Foresthill. The dog had been tiedto a tree and shot in the face. It had apparently been beaten and one paw was broken.
A microchip linked it to Scooter's Pals,which turned out to beButch's. Susan said when a woman arrivedat the campground on Friday, she heard what she thought was target practice. She then thought she heard whimpering, butthough she looked to seewhatwas going on, she couldn't find anything.
Then, two days later, as she was leaving, she heard the whimpering again."She finally said I'm not leaving till I find this dog," Susan said.
Frankie, as the little dog is now called, is making a recovery and is being cared for by veterinarians at U.C. Davis. While his Jawbone has been removed, he will now need surgery to implant a titanium plate. The care is expensive but donors have stepped forward with some $4,000 toward what is expected to be a $6,000 bill.
Scooter's Pals is hoping more people might step forward to help. More information about Frankie can be found at their website.
Once Frankie has recovered, the group is hoping to find him a good home.

Bali means serenity
Posted on : 29 August 2013
Categories : Diving and Snorkeling - Culture and Heritage - Surfing - Travelings
If you really want to know the meaning of serenity then you should sit on the beach of Bali.
When I reached bali in the first week of November 2009, it became 1300 hrs. (i.e. 1:00 am in the mid night). I dumped my luggage in the hotel and could not resist myself to go to the beach at that mid night as the roaring of the sea was calling me. I asked the receptionist whether its safe to go to the beach at that time; the receptionist replied with smile and told "why dont you give a try, its so near, just behind the hotel". Then I rushed to the beach---it was just wonderful.
Its not only the palce of Bali but the people of Bali made Bali an unique place on earth. The heart and mind of the people of Bali made me something that I thought I would never come back home from there-----I belong to that place though I never been there before.
The full moon lasted for three days in Bali while I was there (it happens due to some geographical location of the place)----every night I went to beach------it was really a show on earth nobody can forget.
I saw a thing made of few bamboo sticks hanging downwards with heavy a disc made pf clay in the middle of those bamboo sticks; when air flows the disc hits the bamboo sticks and makes an amazing tune that no man can play on this earth; thats the real "Sound of the World"---I have ever heard in my life time. I wanted to bring that thing home but could not as all of my suitcases were already full of many wooden sculptures by that time. I dream one day I would go to Bali again to listen to that tune and bring that thing home.

Rush Soccer Supports Honduras
Jair Vásquez, Colorado Rush Director of Coaching-Juniors and Technical Director South America, visited Honduras Rush with the main goal of showing to Honduras Rush support and faith on their project. There is no better way to show how much Rush Soccer supports this project than present our program to the parents and players.
Honduras Rush is led by Elmer Marín and it's located in Tegucigalpa, capital of the Middle American country. The visit to Honduras also served to analyze the level of the Honduran soccer and identify players who could be considered for an invitation to play with our Academy teams in the United States. Another important goal has been research how Rush Soccer could help to Honduras Rush in the future: providing uniforms, sports equipment, improving their soccer fields, etc. Despite the difficulties, they don't disrupt the motivation. Quite the opposite, that situation helps them to work even harder.
Jair Vásquez is optimistic about the future of Rush Honduras: "I noticed that the evolution and growth of the club is a reality, and this trip dispelled any doubt about the project," assures the Technical Director of South America. The Honduran project is moving forward thanks to the spirit and enthusiasm of all its members who are volunteering for the love and passion for soccer.
The visit to Honduras has served to unite friendly ties between Rush Soccer and Rush Honduras. This is the first one of many that Rush Soccer is going to do in the future. The main objective is to visit each club in Latino America.
Great job Honduras Rush!

It was another tough week. I was out of town Sunday (March 29) through late Tuesday (March 31) fishing in Northern Michigan for steelhead. I had a great trip and caught fish. I brought home four 8-10 pounders.
Eating was spread out and quick – ate a lot of chicken. The rest of the week my personal trainer Trevor was at a convention learning new and sinister ways to hurt/help me.
I worked out on my own twice, but it was not the same as having him there to push me. My weight loss for March was a paltry 4 pounds. I am down inches, but not as much as I had hoped.
We are going to increase the workouts to four to five times a week. Trevor is going to give me a list of things to do on my own, and I continue to be frustrated with my eating pattern and choices. I have been relying on Diet Coke and need to get away from that and eat more often and less after 8 p.m.
I am also going to try to eat more in the morning, especially before workouts and after workouts, even if it is just a shake and fruit. I hope the pattern change in workouts will help and I can get back on track with a big loss in April.

[Horde][Stormreaver] <The Magnificent> - 3 Day Hardcore, 12/14 HC

Posted 13 January 2009 - 09:19 AM
<The Magnificent> is an English speaking, international guild on the pvp server Stormreaver. We formed in January 2007, and all of our members are over 18 years old. We are competitive in the end-game raiding scene, but place heavy emphasis on the social aspect of the game and keeping a strong friendly guild. Our goal is to maintain a small, reliable pool of 30-35 raiders, and progress as a tightly-knit, well-oiled machine. We have a strict attendance policy (85% minimum), high skill requirements, and no patience for drama.
<The Magnificent>is a semi-hardcore raiding guild, because we will never have more than 3 mandatory 25man raids per week. However, we have the raiding conditions and expectations of most hardcore guilds during these raids, and still run more optional raids on the off-days. We only require 12 hours of raiding a week, and still maintain raid progression that guilds raiding 18+ hours per week struggle to keep up with. <The Magnificent> offers an extremely good return for your time invested in raiding, and a few laughs along the way.
WotLK 25man Summary: All content cleared, and almost every single raid achievement available completed. Our ranked kills include Halion HC (#90 EU), The Lich King-HC (#178 EU), and A Tribute to Insanity (#69 EU).
Tier 11 Summary: All content cleared, and final 25-man ranking was World #150, EU #83.
Tier 12 Summary: All content cleared, and final 25-man ranking was World #158, EU #87.
Tier 13 Summary: All content cleared, and final 25-man ranking was World #146, EU #86.
Tier 14 Summary: All content cleared, and final 25-man ranking was World #150, EU #87.
Tier 15 Summary: All content cleared, and final 25-man ranking was West #148, EU #95.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-against-pats/Jets linebacker Calvin Pace recently called the Patriots no-huddle offense borderline illegal. The Jets apparently believe that its the officials, not the Pats, who are failing to follow the rules.
Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine has explained to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News that the Jets will be emphasizing to officials the provisions that allow defenses to react and adapt to changes made in the offensive lineup.

The first stages of repairs at the Silver Spring Transit Center are scheduled to begin in the next few days, including the removal of concrete slabs that did not contain reinforcements and testing concrete that will be used to replace the slabs.
David Dise, director of Montgomery County's Department of General Services, said Thursday that a work group tasked with engineering a solution to problems at the troubled $120 million transit hub was to meet Thursday afternoon to determine when work will start.
Some concrete sections of the transit center were installed without metal beams and post tensioning wires, which ensure the concrete's strength. Dise said those sections will be taken out while a test mock-up will be done simultaneously with the concrete that will be used to replace the existing concrete slabs.
The transit center at the corner of Colesville Road and Wayne Avenue in downtown Silver Spring was slated to open in 2011, but a series of cracks found in the structure and disparities in the thickness of the concrete have delayed the project's opening by two years so far. It is still unclear when the center will be open for business.
A report detailing the problems and potential fixes of the facility said the transit center contains "serious design and construction defects" that compromise the center's structural integrity, longevity and safety. The report also included fixes for the problems, which a working group has been engineering since the report's release, including the work on the concrete slabs that lacked sufficient reinforcement.
Dise said Thursday that the concrete sections known as "pour strips" need to be fixed before the remainder of repairs can be carried out. Those fixes include an "overlay" that will be chemically bonded to the existing concrete to ensure the proper concrete strength and thickness, and to fix some of the cracking found on the surface of the structure.
In a progress report sent to the Montgomery County Council on July 3, Dise said a final review is underway for two overlay options that vary based on material: a latex modified concrete and a polymer bonded overlay. The report also said radar testing is ongoing to figure out which areas lack concrete cover.
The completion of that work was due by Thursday, according to the report.
The progress report also said a fire protection specialist is examining the structure for fire code compliance. Evaluations are also being done for load-bearing capacity of the beams and girders in the facility, which the report said should be delivered by Thursday.
The county was cleared Monday to begin fixing the concrete slabs at the facility, County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) told members of the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board at its monthly meeting at the Silver Spring Civic Building on Monday night.
Leggett said work would start within a week and that he anticipates permits for the remainder of the fixes will be released by the end of July.
Leggett also said at the meeting that he took responsibility for the transit center not being opened. He said it was his decision to bring in consultants when he heard about the then-minor cracks in the structure instead of accepting the center as it was a year and a half ago. Those consultants spent months evaluating the structure, ultimately releasing a remediation report in March.
Tina Slater, president for Action Committee for Transit, said that while she is glad that work is starting, she is worried about how long the repair schedule will be.
"We just have no idea when it will end," she said Thursday. "The whole project has been a disaster."

No Swedish House Mafia reunion
Fans of the Swedish House Mafia holding their breath for a reunion probably shouldn't get their hopes up.
Many were quick to notice when flyers distributed announcing the lineup for the Ultra Music Festival featured all three members of the Swedish House Mafia (Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello). In fact, it marks the first time all three have been booked at the same event since their final appearance together in 2013.
Despite all the chatter, it seems there will be no Swedish House Mafia reunion (at least according to Billboard). That's because Axwell and Ingrosso (now officially a duio) are fresh off the release of their new single, "Something New," have a forthcoming album to promote on Def Jam and a number of festival appearances penciled into their busy schedule.
Angello, meanwhile, has continued to tour and build his SIZE Records imprint, which just celebrated it's 10th year.
Axwell has also been super busy opening a new restaurant with Australian DJ Grant Smillie. The new eatery is called E.P. & L.P., a play on words from (extended play and long play albums). The restaurant is said to be modern, Asian eating house and will feature dishes from Australian chef Louis Tikram, who will blend together Thai with touches of Fijian, Korean, Indonesian and Malaysian cuisines.
Axwell and Ingrosso's forthcoming album is scheduled for release sometime in 2015.
Swedish House Mafia set for "Leave the World Behind" premiere
Swedish House Mafia recently released a trailer for their film chronicling the end of the group, and that's not all. The group also has plans to screen the movie at SXSW. Want details? Read on.
The upcoming movie is said to chronicle Swedish House Mafia's struggles with fame and the demands it placed on its members. The film, called "Leave The World Behind," was produced by Christian Lawson and will premiere in Austin, Texas on March 12, 2014 at 6 p.m. in the largest venue in the SXSW film festival schedule.
The film fans will see documents the band's decision to break up, as well as the decision to hit the road for one more tour before calling it quits for good. The movie will provide the audience with a look into the world of electronic music 'rarely seen,' as well as the 'psychological torment of the members as they choose to walk away from fame in favor of saving their friendship.'
Once "Leave The World Behind" has its official premiere, Swedish House Mafia will allow fans the opportunity to try and get the film to their city. An interactive map on the group's website allows fans to choose their current location and cast a "vote" to bring the film to a local theater.
Beyond Swedish House Mafia, Steve Angello is working on what he says is the antidote to generic dance music – his first album since the group split last year. A release date is planned for the first half of 2014.
Swedish House Mafia says goodbye (Updated April 3, 2013)
Swedish House Mafia is apparently no more. It is unknown, at this point, whether the group members will collaborate with each other again.
On September 24, 2012, Swedish House Mafia announced the dates for their farewell tour, appropriately named "One Last Tour." It kicked off in November 2012 and wrapped in March 2013. Tickets were in high demand, leading the group to add additional shows during the run. But all good things must come to an end, and it did for the group with a final appearance together at the Ultra Music Festival. They played an opening and closing set on March 15 and March 24, 2013, respectively.
In their farewell appearance, there were some unforgettable moments. Axwell offered up his mix of Ivan Gough, Feenixpawl, and Georgi Kay's "In My Mind." Ingrosso played his collaboration with Alesso, "Calling." And the highlight was a remix of Coldplay's "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall." As they sang "raise the flag," the three each waved flgas that sported an SHM dot, representing the band's logo.
So, is this the end of electronic era? Was the 'last' gig really the last for Steve Angello, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso? The group told media gathered for an afterparty that they were seeking 'space to just relax a bit.' And individually, these guys aren't going anywhere. After some down time and a chance to unwind, Angello said it'd be straight back to work.
"It never really feels like it ends," he said. "At some point, it just keeps on going."
Indeed, it sounds like the door may not have fully closed on Swedish House Mafia. And for fans of this super-trio – their farewell was attended by thousands – that's good news indeed.
Headed for a farewell?
The DJ supergroup comprised of Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello - collectively known as Swedish House Mafia - is already on its farewell tour.
'Today we want to share with you that the tour we are about to go on will be our last,' the trio wrote in a message on its website on June 23, 2012. 'We want to thank every single one of you who came on this journey. We came, we raved, we loved.'
The group officially formed in 2008, and two years later inked a record deal with UMG's Polydor Records. They released their first official single, 'One (Your Name),' on May 26, 2010 and immediately found international success by charting at number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. A second single, 'Miami Ibiza,' climbed to No. 4. Both tracks had been taken from the trio's 'Until One' album, a collection of productions and remixes done by the group and as individual artists. Other singles include 'Save the World' and 'Greyhound.'
Where Swedish House Mafia found success, it also found controversy. On July 7, 2012 the group played to a sold-out crowd in Phoenix Park, Dublin for 45,000 fans. The concert turned to chaos when a total of nine people were stabbed in a series of unprovoked attacks. There was also at least one fatality during the show from a suspected drug overdose. A week later, three more people were stabbed by one assailant at the Milton Keynes Bowl in Buckinghamshire, England.Swedish House Mafia is one of the myriad of performers for this September's iHeartRadio Festival at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Swedish House Mafia Tickets - Supergroup House Music to the Max
Even now, house music is still the rage. Go to any nightclub in the world. So it would stand to reason that DJ/producers Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso -- prestigious producers and label owners -- would get together to create one of the most phenomenal and grand creative mixes ever known to man. It was the mid-2000s when they came together, but they truly broke out in the music industry on August 12, 2008, playing at the Main Room at Cream Amnesia located right in Ibiza, Spain. Once they started wowing crowds, EMI Records took notice and signed them on a contract for their official debut album.
Swedish House Mafia Tickets - The Music of the Mafia
It was the year of 2010 when the debut album featured the powerhouse hits 'One.' Another version of the song was also release under the title 'One (Your Name)' featuring the talents of Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes. All over the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Belgium, the song became a true Top Ten hit.
Swedish House Mafia Tickets - The Sound and Style of the Swedish House
There's only one thing to say about the splendor that is the Swedish House Mafia, and that is full-on audio explosion! When you get a few of those good DJs together to form a supergroup, the result is a setup that's so big that Hiroshima would look at the Atom Bomb as if it were one of those little firecrackers.

About Me
I'm a 25 year old dude who still has to worry about acne breakouts. When parents tell their kids that after puberty they will outgrow their acne, well that never happened to me. I've tried Murad, Proactive, Pola's Choice, Acne.org products, over the counter products that mainly comprised of bezoyl peroxide and salysylic acid ingredients. I came to a conclusion that I'm allergic to BP or it's just way too harsh on my skin.
My succesful acne control came only after dermatologist prescribed meds. Initially I've been on several topical antibiotics, then tried oral antibiotics for 3 months coupled with Differin and then Tazrac. I've also been on sodiumsulfacetemide + sulfur like Rasula, Plaxion and Klaron. These sodium/sulfur products were amazingly effective in clearing my acne and unlike antibiotics, you don't become immune to it. My current regimen is Tazorac 0.1% for 4 days on, 7 days off. Even now, I'll still get breakouts on my forehead and sides depending on how much stressed out I am or how little sleep I'll get. If I'll stop using Tazorac for a month, my face will start to break out a lot. I also use a DDF Sulfur mask once a week to dry up any minor pimples. In past I have used Dan's AHA+ which was also effective. My current regimen is satisfactory in managin my breakouts. My only wish is for my breakouts to end completely. I also have some minor back acne that goes away and comes back at random.
Summer 2013 update. I'm 27 years old now and I have stopped using prescription treatment retinoid and Klaron for 2 years now. Currently I have 97% control of acne breakouts with Kavi sulfur soaps, daily zinc 50 mg and sulfur spot treatments for developed zits. Ocasionally, I use an AHA peeling agent to even out my skin tone. I'm satisfied with my current acne regimen. But I still do have sporadic breakouts on my forehead due to stress, alcohol consumption, or lack of proper sleep.

|A KosherEye Chat with Leah Hadad
We continue our chat with Leah Hadad, president and co-founder of Tribes-A-Dozen Voilà! Egg Bread Mix. Born in Israel, and currently living in Washington, DC with her husband and children, Leah was a practicing attorney prior to founding Tribes-A-Dozen.
How did you decide that you were going to produce premixed boxed challah mix?
How long did it take you to develop the recipes/product? Did you have help?
Anything else you would like us to know about the product?
What I really like about my mixes is their versatility. I have fun baking them. I add chocolate chips or sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, or both. I also make rolls or Hallah sticks. And, my Hallah with cranberry and almond marzipan is a perfect addition to Thanksgiving dinner. For Hanukkah, I use the mix to make jelly doughnuts or soofganiyot. My blog on Tumblr has few recipes, and, once our website is fully developed, I will offer many recipes on my blog.
Hallah or Challah − what's in the name?

-Jason Taylor went to Akron, Zach Thomas went to Texas Tech and Marty Booker went to Louisana Monroe.
-Ricky Williams was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies and played some minor league baseball while attending Texas.
-When the Dolphins beat the Seahawks in the 1999 Wildcard playoff round, it was the first time a #6 seed had ever beaten a #3 seed in NFL history.
That's all I got for now.
