With 26 golfers on the roster, the Ridgway golf team is already having a banner year in terms of participation.
"We had around 20 golfers last year but we have a lot of talent returning in Eric Matheson, Jordan Lundin, Aaron Sorge," said Ridgway head boys varsity golf coach Dave Zawatski. "We had several players who wanted to do two sports, golf and football, and coach [Mark] Heindl and I both support that very much. We've gotten together to work out a schedule that allows the players to devote time to both sports and it's definitely a good thing, and we're going to make it work. We've made it work and we're looking forward to doing well.
"With the number of athletes that we have and the number of sports that we offer, it is what it is and we're going to make it work-- maybe it may not be considered the most ideal situation but if anyone can do it, it's these kids that we have playing on this team. When they're not playing football, they're up here playing golf and that's all you can ask of them."
The team boasts a strong core of returners, including Matheson, a senior two-year letterman, and fellow seniors Lundin, Sorge, Kyle Caggiano, and juniors Josh Mitchell and Jesse Reynolds.
"Josh Mitchell went to the district tournament last year and we look forward to continued success from him," Zawatski said. "We were pretty happy to have those three, Eric Matheson, Jordan Lundin and Josh Mitchell, and there is really no guarantee on who will go to districts because there are some quality players right behind them who are pushing them on a daily basis to improve even more.
"We do have a solid core right there."
Even with the loss of Dom Aiello, David Klein and Seth Feronti to graduation, Zawatski indicated during the preseason that one of the team's strengths will be depth but a downfall could be the lack of a consistent low round.
"We're going to miss Seth Feronti from last year because he gave us that one low round that you could count on-- you always knew he would be in the low 40s or high 30s consistently, and that was nice to always have in the bag," Zawatski said. "We don't really have that this year but what we do have is 12 or 14 players who are capable of hitting in the low 40s but I don't know if we have anybody capable of shooting par right now and that's where we're going to struggle against some of the area powerhouses-- those include the Stauffers in Bradford, Schlimm at ECC and Calvin Christoff at Johnsonburg.
"You play eight players and you count five, and I anticipate that we're going to be able to put together five decent scores every single time."
With a roster stacked with underclassmen, Zawatski said experience, or lack thereof, could be a deciding factor in determining the team's overall success.
"We have some players who are young and nervous but with the right pairings, some golfers become more comfortable," Zawatski said. "We certainly have some athletes on the team but we really don't have a player who plays just golf-- some are football first, golf second-- some are basketball first, golf second, and so forth.
"We could struggle early because some of the players didn't get a whole lot of practice in over the summer. Jesse Reynolds is back this year and he lettered two years ago, and he's had scores of 48, 43, and then a 36 recently, so already he's already coming around. Hopefully with the lack of practice over the summer, we all get up to speed around the fourth or fifth match of the year."
Another positive for the coaching staff has been the abundance of athletes present on the team.
"Some of the kids that I work with on the range are so athletic and you try to teach them the right things now so that they can build on that," Zawatski said. "Some of the younger players will learn as they go and it will be a struggle at times but hopefully they can be pretty solid by the end of the year.
"It's quite a game, it can be frustrating and very much a mental game. A lot of it is about confidence."
And as the team looks ahead to the 2011 campaign, Zawatski said one of the most meaningful contributions to the team might not come from countless hours of practice sessions or coaching, but rather from the members at the Laurel Mill Golf Course.
"We have 26 kids and being a small school and a small town, I am very proud of that," Zawatski said. "We're a small town with a nine-hole golf course and you can't put 26 kids out there on a nine-hole golf course without the complete cooperation from the club and Laurel Mill Golf Club has been fantastic in that regard.
"We appreciate the club and its members for accepting the high school team and they really cheer us on, and we'll always appreciate that. They really bend over backwards for us and it does not go unappreciated. We also invite anyone from the public to come up and sit at a hole, or walk with a group because they're always welcome here."
Zawatski will again be assisted this year by assistant coaches Gerry Stenta, Denny McMahon and Eric Herzing.
"Without those three guys I wouldn't be able to do this," Zawatski said, "and with 26 kids, we all work very well together."

In 2007 and 2008, the cute and cuddly Pleo was a huge hit. Then its maker went out of business, and the dinosaur disappeared from view. So what is it doing at CES 2014?
A scavenger hunt sponsored by CES sends CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman -- and many others -- out exploring the lesser-visited parts of the show. Who knows what you'll find.
The trainable robots have gotten some updates, with an app on the way that lets you take care of your Pleo while you're out.
As loveable toy dinosaur Pleo gets both hugged and strangled in the name of science, two studies suggest that we're hardwired to sympathize with them. But how deeply can people feel for robots?
The updated robot dinosaur, Pleo Rb, has a longer battery life and better skin than its predecessor, along with new RFID accessories that trigger different behaviors.

Recipe by IcanCook?
"A tasty alternative to the typical picnic potato salad. It's made with roasted red potatoes, bacon, eggs, green onion, celery, and mayo. Pretty easy to make and you can adjust most ingredients to suit your own personal taste."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

red potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
olive oil, or as needed
hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 stalk
celery, chopped
1/4 cup
chopped green onion
3 slices
cooked bacon, chopped
1 cup
salt and ground black pepper to taste
This is one of my most favorite ways to make potato salad. I like to double the amount of bacon and add a few spices to the mayonnaise. Also, when I roast the potatoes, I also sprinkle them with sea salt/fresh ground pepper. The longer this sits, the better it gets!
I made this for Memorial Day for a picnic. Rubbery, very greasy. I followed the recipe exactly....there was no saving this one.

I made this based on a similar recipe (with lots of reviews) that seems to have disappeared. Anyway, it was very very good with roasted potatoes. I made lots of modifications based on the reviews of the other roasted red potato salad. Instead of green onion I roasted a chopped onion with the potatoes. I also salted and peppered the potatoes before roasting, and tossed them with olive oil and dijon mustard. I used less mayo, to taste, and added sweet relish. I'm not a huge potato salad fan, but I loved this and will make it again.
Simple and good. I added some fresh chopped basil but I would think other fresh herbs like dill or cilantro would be great too.
Just made this tonight. Very good! I did try what another member suggested and put the diced potatoes in a freezer bag & added salt, pepper, olive oil and a little dijon. Mixed everything all together really good, then dumped onto a cookie sheet to roast. Very good recipe! Thanks!
I add a few different things to my version, but the best thing I got from this one is the idea to roast (rather than boil) the potatoes. They don't get mushy or "starchy" that way, and the roasting really gives them a richer flavor. Very tasty.
Wow this was good! I made this for a party I had to watch my 49er's win (whoo hoo) and not only was the game a hit but so was this potato salad! I got so many compliments and I had three people ask for the recipe. I followed the recipe exactly except for one thing. I tossed the potato's in the olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder before roasting. This truly was hit!
My husband and I love this recipe. I quadrupled this recipe for Easter. I let the potatoes get quite crispy in the oven. They were coated in olive oil and a special salt/herb blend. (This took about 1.25 hours in the oven!)
I used WAY less mayo, just enough for a very light coat. Also, used turkey bacon. Other than that, no changes and it's awesome. I have saved the recipe in my file as "The BOMB potato salad". I will surely make this again-and I don't say that too often for online recipes that I try on a whim.

2 cups
boiling water
1 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
2 3/4 cups
all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
1 cup
butter, softened
2 1/4 cups
white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
I am a pastry chef, and this is the only chocolate cake that I will make from now on. I separated the eggs and whipped the whites separately with some of the sugar, then folded it all together to make is extra airy. This recipe could easily be flavored with coffee, juice, or buttermilk in place of the water. FANTASTIC!
Quite disappointing after all the excellent reviews. Like many, I've been searching for 'the' chocolate cake recipe and this is not it. I'm going to stick to oil as my search continues -- the butter-based chocolate cake recipes I've tried resulted to rubbery textures, and oil-based ones consistently give better results. (If anyone knows the explanation, or better yet the solution, to this, it will be much appreciated!)

My Mum and I found this recipe and decided to use it for my Sisters wedding cake. It was perfect! Everyone loved it. We made 3 tiers. The bottom tier was 2 batches (we made them seperately and cooked them together, I don't think it would work if you doubled it) It was huge and took 2 hours to cook. The 2nd tier was 1 batch. We made the top layer carrot. It was iced with white chocolate truffle icing and it was just amazing. I'm going to put a photo of it on this site.
This recipe makes a very pure, clean-tasting chocolate cake with a fine crumb and a texture that can be moist or dry depending on how long you bake it and how long you let it air-dry. I followed other reviewer's suggestions: substituting butter-flavor Crisco for butter; creaming with the sugar for over 2 minutes; and baking in a single 10-inch springform Bundt pan. It came out quite well on the first try.
I also tried whipping the egg whites separately, but that made little difference, as this is a pretty solid, moderately dense cake, so I wouldn't bother with that in the future.
The flavor is such a pure, moderate chocolate cake that it would be perfect as a base for a wide range of desserts using added flavors. Vanilla whipped cream would be a great accompaniment. Unaccompanied, it's nice but a little too plain.
Caution: grease the pan quite well, as the cake is clingy when hot and you don't want to tear it.
I get tired of my usual choc. cake recipes so am always looking for something new. This is a very good cake. I made it in a 12 cup bundt pan but other than that followed the recipe exactly and found it to be sweet enough with a good chocolate flavor and I had no problem with the cake falling apart. For those who thought it was dry: make sure the cocoa-boiling water mixture has cooled thoroughly before proceeding with the recipe otherwise the cake may turn out heavy and dry.
I have made this cake recipe for every family birthday for the last 4 or 5 years. I have 4 children, so I know this recipe off by heart now! It is a little crumbly, but I make it the day before and put it in the fridge. This seams to change it into a very moist cake. I consider this a good thing, because then I always have the cake ready ahead of time. It does stick in your pans terribly, so be sure to line your pans with baking paper (or parchment) and not just butter or butter and flour them. This is a really delicious cake. I would make something different for each birthday, but my husband and kids ask for this chocolate cake every time. Now if they would only learn the recipe and make it on my birthday.....ha ha.
Thanks so much for the recipe! I've made this cake twice to rave reviews. I almost didn't try it because of the warnings about its dryness from other users. If you are getting a dry cake from this recipe, I believe it could be a technical issue. Insufficient creaming of the butter and sugar could cause the cake to be dry. I allow at least 2 minutes of moderate-speed blending. I also used butter-flavored Crisco (1c butter = 1c Crisco + 6t water), which can also make it moister. You could also be overbaking, either by giving it too much time in the oven or by having an oven that's too hot. If you enjoy baking, do yourself a favor and invest $6.00 in an oven thermometer. You won't regret it!
One of the few chocolate cake recipes truely from scratch. Thank you. I used strong coffee instead of water. Topped it with cream cheese frosting (8 oz + 1 c powdered sugar, milk and Vanilla). Very good. Made it in a 9 x 13, baked it for about 35 minutes. It was a very thick cake, but not too dense and went over very well. Not as chocolate as I would have hoped for tho but a nice alternative from scratch.

Two bills in the General Assembly are chafing the Montgomery County Council, placing mandates that could affect the county's bottom line, according to council members.
One is a proposal that would exempt defense firm Lockheed Martin from a hotel tax currently applied to their training center. Another would require what's known as "maintenance of effort" to apply to counties' budgets.
"Both of these bills are an affront to charter home rule," said Councilman George Leventhal (D-At large) of Takoma Park.
The council is aggressively opposing the bills, Leventhal said.
"Lockheed employs 5,000 people in Montgomery County," sponsor Sen. Nancy J. King (D-Dist. 39) of Montgomery Village said. "They're a good company, and we want to keep them around, and we want to keep them happy."
Lockheed Martin's 180-room training center in Bethesda is currently subject to the county's 7 percent hotel tax, which brings in more than $19 million in revenue each year. About $450,000 of that comes from the company.
King's bill, as written, would reimburse Lockheed Martin $1.4 million in taxes collected back to 2010, but an amendment is expected Wednesday to strike the reimbursement provision. The company would still be exempt from future taxes.
The Senate will likely approve the amendment, with a final vote as soon as Thursday. While King said the company would not be happy with the amendment, it was needed to assuage fears of some of her colleagues, she said, who have called the bill corporate welfare and a special interest bill.
In 2010, the General Assembly passed a bill exempting corporate training and conference centers solely used by company employees from the sales tax. King's bill, she said, keeps county policies consistent with state law.
The only facility in the state that meets the requirements of the 2010 law and King's bill is the Lockheed Martin training center, according to legislative analysts.
The maintenance of effort proposal, introduced on March 4, will require the county to maintain funding levels or lose state aid.
"In Annapolis there's a general sense that as we take on a greater role in funding infrastructure and social services, there should be some accountability on those funds," said Sen. Roger Manno (D-Dist. 19) of Silver Spring.
King, who is a co-sponsor on Manno's bill, predicted that it will not pass because it lacks support.

|Reminder: Make Your Holiday Reservations Now
Snowshoeing is easy to do and can get you into some back country that you would not ordinarily be able to see.
The week between Christmas and New Year's Day is one of the busiest of the year for Vermont tourism. It is considered the kick-off week for the ski season even though there has been skiing on some trails since mid November.
Skiers usually account for about half our business that week and I assume the same is true of other lodging establishments except those right at the ski resorts.
Whether you want to ski or not, right now is the time to make travel plans and get lodging reservations made.
By the way, you will find many inns have a two or three night minimum that time of year because it is such a busy time and they can't turn over rooms fast enough if they have a lot of one night reservations. You may find some exceptions and perhaps a last minute, fill-in type availability if you can only stay one night.
A good place to start a search for Vermont lodging is at the state's official tourism website: VermontVacation.com.

|12 Digital Photo Tips From Vagabondish Blog
I enjoy skimming the Vagabondish web magazine from time to time. Today I read a helpful article there on clever ideas for using a digital camera in your travels.
For instance, it recommends writing a reward poster in case you ever lose the camera. Write your email address and a reward amount on a piece of paper. Be careful on that - you don't know who will find your camera. So don't write your name, address, and phone. Use only an email address as the article recommends, and use one that does not contain your full name.
Take a photo of the poster and lock the file so it does not get erased. If someone finds your camera, all they have to do is look at the stored photos and they'll see your contact information and reward. That greatly increases the chances of your getting the camera back.
Another good use for a digital camera is to take a photo of local maps so you can refer to them in your travels. The article uses the example of a subway map.
I think you will enjoy reading the other ten ideas in the full article at the Vagabondish blog.

|TheStreet.com Recommends Vermont's Jay Peak For Uncrowded Skiing
TheStreet.com is an stock market investing website run by Jim Cramer, whom you may have seen on CNBC's Mad Money television show.
One of the columnists on that website, Mike Woelflein, recently wrote an article entitled Avoid Lift Lines and Ski More This Season on where to find the best uncrowded ski areas around the country. The first place he mentions is Jay Peak, located in Jay, Vermont.
Jay Peak is located in northernmost Vermont, a few miles from the Canadian border. It is known for getting the most snowfall of all the Vermont ski areas, averaging about 350 inches per year. It's very popular with Quebec skiers because it is only about an hours drive from Montreal. From Boston, it is about a 4.5 hour drive.
At our inn, we don't get too many skiers going there because it is about an hour's drive and we are close to Stowe, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen and Bolton Valley. However, the guests who do spend a day at Jay invariably come back with great compliments about the experience.

|Airfare Refunds and Discounts
I did some research about airlines refunding the difference between the price paid for a ticket and the difference if the airline later drops the price on that flight. (See my October 17 entry about Yapta.com.)
Turns out that this is not consistent among airlines. Some do it and others don't. And some, such as Delta and American, will charge you a fee just as they would if you were to change your ticket. That charge is usually $100 on domestic flights and about double or triple that on overseas flights.
There are exceptions: Northwest charges $25 while United, US Airways, and JetBlue don't charge.
Many times you won't get your money refunded in cash but as a voucher for future use. I did not see any information on how long these vouchers last and no doubt that varies from airline to airline and from time to time.
NOTE: don't believe everything you see in this article. What I have written here is what I found on the internet and none of it is from the airlines' own websites. I could not find anything on their websites about this topic but admittedly I only checked three of them by entering the word "refund" in their search boxes . . . I find dealing with airlines more dismal than dealing with government regulations. However, as I have noted in previous blog entries, JetBlue is one of the best airlines to deal with.
And it probably goes without saying in any conversation about airlines, nothing is consistent even within the same company. One person will give you one answer and another person at the same airline will tell you something different. The best thing to do is to make an inquiry if you find out that tickets on your flight are being sold for less than you paid. I'm still surprised when a polite and friendly phone call will get me a discount or adjustment. Give it a try and let me know how this works for you.

|Peak Foliage is Over Up North But Still Available South and West VT
The last two days were beautiful with warm temperatures and clear skies. Today was the opposite with rain and wind all day long. Yesterday we still had a lot of colorful leaves on the trees in north central VT except along the high ridge lines. Today many of those leaves got knocked off. However, I made a trip to Burlington this afternoon and, while the spectacular scenery is gone, there still many spots of bright yellow, gold and orange on the hillsides.
This has been the best and longest lasting fall foliage season we have seen in the seven years we have lived in Vermont. I've never seen so many red trees as I did this year. One of our guests drove up to Lake Willoughby a couple of weeks ago and was still stunned and shaking his head the next day as he told us about a huge mountainside that was mostly red. He had never seen anything like it and could not even imagine such a thing if he had not seen it himself.
There will be areas of southern Vermont that are at peak now, especially in the valleys, as well as in the Lake Champlain basin. It won't last too much longer so if you want to see the best foliage period in years, you should get up here in the next week to ten days.
Honest and accurate foliage reports by state foresters are available on the VermontVacation.com website.
Why and how leaves change color is a bit complicated but if you would like to read up on it, here is a link to VemontVacation.com web page an article reprint from the U.S. Dept of Agriculture.

Adrian Newey and Christian Horner have led the plaudits following Sebastian Vettel's amazing feat in India.
Adrian Newey and Christian Horner have led the plaudits following Sebastian Vettel's amazing feat in India.
The German secured the 2013 World Championship on Sunday after winning his sixth race in a row, becoming Formula One's youngest quadruple Champion in the process and joining Michael Schumacher and Juan Manuel Fangio on the list of drivers who have won four or more consecutive titles.
Naturally, the Red Bull bosses are over the moon with his success and technical chief Newey praised the German for being "humble" despite his success the past few years.
"His feet are on the ground, he is just an ordinary kid who has not lost sight of who he is despite the success he has had," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
"He is very humble, very intelligent, he has that process like all the greats of being able to drive and be conscious of what is going on around him all the time. It has been a real pleasure to work with him."
Red Bull also wrapped up their fourth consecutive Constructors' title in India and Newey feels the hard works is paying off.
"It is stunning. A few years ago, coming to Red Bull was a fresh adventure for a new team and it has been such an amazing ride," he said. "It is a great team within Milton Keynes, they are hugely dedicated - there are lots of people working so hard and this is the product of that."
Meanwhile, team principal Horner believes Vettel deserves his success after a great strategy on Sunday.
"Let's take nothing away from Sebastian not just today but for the whole season," he said. "He knew his strategy was to get through the traffic and he did it. He worked his way back through the field and he created the opening for himself today."
He added: "It was hugely emotional for everyone to see him cross the line. I said to him to try and do it in style and he did and to win this Indian Grand Prix for the third successive time is incredible."

Did you know that more than just dirt was needed to bring the new Rosemont athletic field to life? We actually used satellites and lasers!
Man Power
The athletic field project employed approximately eight subcontractors and 45 employees.
Gravel Road
The temporary large gravel road aided in the dirt removal from the construction vehicle tires so it was not deposited onto Wendover Road.
Dug out
The dugout is a 12" thick retaining wall supporting a 14" multipurpose field. The ceiling is the structural deck used as a walkway to enter the upper field.
Gray Turf
The artificial turf came from Georgia and was delivered in 40 rolled 15.2 feet strips varying in length from 3 to 193 feet.
What Lies Beneath?
The turf drainage system is a 16" bed of stone, earth berms and two 6" perforated PVC pipes that allow water to drain into an infiltration bed that holds approximately 200,000 gallons.
GPS Satellites
Seven satellites communicated with the base station then "talked" to responders located on the excavation equipment. These signals helped the operator adjust the blade for proper grade elevations.


text: I know it was one game but this guy played very well last week. If he has a big game this week against the pats, could he be our starter going into next season? He played one game and I would take himover S.Smith any day. He played aggressive, came up and tackled well, but yet was under control. I like him. Add a another good corner via FA or the draft and our cornors could be greatly improved.

Take the first step in employing the ZEOvit system for brilliantly-colored coral reef aquariums. Korallen-Zucht ZEOvit Filter Media is a balanced mix of three different natural zeolites of the highest quality selected to form the foundation of a ZEOvit low-nutrient reef aquarium system. ZEOvit Filter Media permanently absorbs ammonium (NH4+) and ammonia (NH3), the first two chemicals in the nitrification cycle, to prevent the formation of nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3).
Proper use of ZEOvit Filter Media promotes very clear aquarium water as well as aquarium conditions that support brilliant natural coloration and growth of all corals. Use ZEOvit Filter Media in conjunction with Korallen-Zucht ZEObak Microorganism Solution, ZEOFood7 Bacteria and Coral Food and ZEOstart3 Phosphate and Nitrate Reductor to remove phosphates and nitrates to form a stronger foundation of the ZEOvit low-nutrient reef aquarium system. Use ZEOvit Filter Media with a media reactor at a flow rate no greater than 100 gph.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - A state legislator is proposing to spend nearly a million dollars to keep the Gophers- North Dakota hockey rivalry going after Minnesota leaves the WCHA.
"If we can't talk about hockey at the state capitol we're not representing Minnesota at all," said DFL State Representative Ryan Winkler, of Golden Valley.
Winkler introduced a bill Thursday that would give $800,000 to the University of Minnesota to keep the Gophers and UND facing off.
After this season Minnesota will play in the Big Ten, leaving North Dakota and more than sixty years of hard fought games in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association or WCHA.
But should we be spending that amount of money on a hockey game? Even Winkler doesn't think so.
"Well of course not," he said. "It's really more of a tongue-in-cheek bill to kind of encourage them to play the hockey game."
So why do it? It's meant to be a shot at the U of M. Last year, the athletic department announced it would give up $800,000 after breaking a contract and changing the football team's schedule.
"This whole $800,000 comment thing is more about the football game they paid to get out," he said.
Even Winkler doesn't see the bill as something that would get out of committee.
"When I first saw it, I was like you have to be kidding me," said GOP State Representative Steve Drazkowski, of Mazeppa.
And while it may be tongue-in-cheek for Winkler, for Drazkowski it's something else.
"I think it's a waste of time. I think the image that's projected in the bill is a waste of taxpayer dollars," he said
It is unclear if the bill will even come up for discussion in the Higher Education Committee. Its chair, Rep. Gene Pelowski did not return phone calls.
"But really the statement has been made that we hope that tradition continues," said Winkler.
Debate aside, it appears the discussion has already started outside of the state capitol.
"That was like the highlight of the season, the UND Minnesota game. That was awesome," said one fan.

Dating techniquesUntil the 1950s absolute dating was largely restricted to the Roman and later periods for which we had historical information, such as names and dates of rulers. Even then it was very patchy. Scientific advances have now transformed our ability to discover absolute dates from a variety of materials, though all present some problems. The two most widespread techniques – which are to some extent inter-dependent – are radiocarbon dating and tree-ring dating.

Original Price: $129.99 Shop all Flashes Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff. Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Dave Bar The SB-400 Speedlight works with select Nikon SLR cameras to improve the look of your flash photography. This powerful-yet-compact add-on flash lets you shoot in low-light conditions from far greater distances than your camera's built-in flash will allow. Plus, you get the added ability to direct light where you need it for more professional-looking photos. The SB400's flash head can be tilted upward at multiple angles to create indirect lighting effects. Bounced from walls or ceilings, reflected light provides softer illumination with less glare and fewer shadows ideal for taking more pleasing portraits. All of the necessary connections are made by simply mounting the flash to your camera's accessory shoe. With advanced automatic exposure control, this easy-to-use flash works together with your Nikon camera to provide just the right illumination for your photos every time.

Yes No Light and bright Written By Mikmax1, Suburban Chicago on Wednesday, July 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great little light. Keeps the weight down and the red eye out. I prefer this to my larger SB 600. Pros: Weight, convenience Cons: None. Was this review helpful?

Written By sxd9mm, Rochester, NY on Friday, September 23, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great powerful flash. Easy to carry, lightweight. Can tilt up to 90 degrees. Great for 'bouncing'. One minus is that it does not rotate horizontally, but that's totally different price range we are talking here :o) 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Perfect Match Written By Hector, Puerto Rico on Friday, February 18, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is the perfect companion flash for the Nikon Coolpix P7000. Small but powerful and with through the lens exposure. Great for traveling light. Ordering from Crutchfield is always a pleasure. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No great little flash Written By mark m, columbus oh on Thursday, February 03, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) for the money this one does it. makes your indoor pics turn out great. able to keep up w/fresh set of batts. Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon SB-400 Written By Moonshine David, Landrum, SC on Sunday, September 26, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this product specifically for our semi-annual Home Owners party, as half the pictures taken would be after dark. The Nikon Flash performed admirably, cutting down on my editing time to just a mere fraction. The extra power compared to the Nikon's built in flash was well worth the purchase made. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Small and capable Written By Pavel, Longmont, CO on Saturday, July 25, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an excellent take along flash for a DSLR like a D40. Power is greater than built in flash, and when you bounce it off the ceiling the lighting is so much better than straight on, I couldn't believe it. It also can fill flash outdoors to over 15 feet, which helped a lot taking pictures of hummingbirds in flgiht, which I couldn't do nearly as well without the SB-400. I now keep it on the D40 almost all the time. It is ready as quickly as you are: slide the switch, point and shoot, it will flash as necessary. Everybody with a Nikon DSLR should get one. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Small Powerhouse Written By Daniel, Huntington Beach,Ca on Sunday, January 25, 2009 This is a great little flash. It can bounce which almost eliminates red eye! It's can keep up with the fast speed of my Nikon D60 which the on board flash can NOT do. It's really improved the quality of my indoor pictures especially and, again has almost eliminated red Eye. The only drawback is that you can't bounce off the ceiling in portrait mode. This is all the flash I need for my family pictures! 13 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Hands-on research What's in the box? | In-depth notes What's in the box? Download owner's manual SB-400 Speedlight flash SS-400 Soft case Instruction Manual Warranty Form Product Registration card Product Research Features Specifications Features Creative Lighting System: The SB-400 features a new Nikon Speedlight system, called Creative Lighting System (CLS). This system offers additional flash shooting possibilities with digital cameras by taking advantage of a camera's digital communication capabilities. CLS is available only when the SB-400 is used with compatible Nikon cameras. Compatibility: The SB-400 is currently compatible with the following point-and-shoot and digital SLR Nikon cameras (as of 12/30/2011). D-Series: 3, 3S, 3X, 300, 300S, 3000, 3100, 40, 5000, 5100, 60, 700, 7000, 90 Coolpix Series: P5000, P5100, P6000, P7100 Note: List subject to change as newer model cameras are released. Microcomputer-Controlled: The Speedlight incorporates a microcomputer to control flash operations. i-TTL Flash Operation: This is a new TTL auto flash operation in the Creative Lighting System. Monitor Preflashes are fired at all times. The subject is correctly exposed by the light from the flash lighting and the exposure is less affected by the ambient light than in the conventional TTL operation Flash Modes: The SB-400's available flash modes vary, depending on the cameras and lenses in use or the camera's exposure mode. The following flash modes are available. Slow-Sync Flash: In Slow-Sync Flash mode the flash is controlled at a slow shutter speed to obtain the correct exposure for both the main subject and background in low-light situations or at night. Red-Eye Reduction: Red-Eye Reduction prevents the center of your subject's eyes from appearing red in color pictures. The SB-400 fires three flashes at reduced output just before the picture is taken. Red-Eye Reduction with Slow-Sync Flash: In this mode, red-eye reduction is combine with the slow-sync mode. Rear-Curtain Sync: Rear-Curtain Flash Sync creates a picture in which the blur or a moving subject appears behind the subject and not in front. FV (Flash Value) Lock: FV is the amount of flash exposure for the subject. Using FV Lock you can lock in the appropriate flash exposure for the main subject. Exposure Compensation and Flash output Level Compensation: Exposure compensation allows you to take well-balanced pictures by intentionally modifying the flash exposure. This is useful when a subject of extremely high or low reflectivity is included in the scene or when you want to create flash photographs to match your creative preferences. Manual Mode: Manual flash operation is possible with only the Nikon D40 series. Note: Each mode should be set on the camera body, since it cannot be set through the SB-400. Bounce Flash: With the SB-400 mounted on your camera's hot shoe, you can tilt the flash head in four steps (horizontal, 60-degrees, 75-degrees or 90-degrees) to bounce the light off the ceiling or other surfaces. This technique offers the following advantages - eliminates red eye, creates soft shadows and prevents hair or clothing from appearing to sheen . Ready Light: The Speedlight features a rear-mounted LED that lights up when the SB-400 is recharge and ready to fire. The Ready Light will blink to indicate insufficient light, insufficient battery power, incompatibility of camera with the SB-400 or overheating. Power Source: The Speedlight can operate off of two of the following AA-type penlight batteries (1.5V or lower) - Alkaline manganese (1.5V), Lithium (1.5V), Oxyride (1.5V), Ni-MH (rechargeable 1.2V). When the battery power becomes low the Ready-light blinks twice in a second for approximately 40 seconds advising you to replace or recharge your batteries.

This brief outlines the key policy challenges governments and other stakeholders face in addressing the health needs of Asian labor migrants. It highlights the obstacles migrant workers face in accessing health facilities and services at various stages of migration, before proposing five key steps for translating the growing interest in migrant health issues to visible changes on the ground.
The launch in Bangkok of an issue brief series on labor migration in Asia undertaken by MPI and IOM with speakers H.E. Phadermchai Sasomsub, H.E. Kazi Imtiaz Hossain, H.E. Linglingay Lacanlale, Andrew Bruce, and Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias.
This brief examines the complex issues surrounding labor migration from Colombo Process countries. It discusses the progress made—and the policy challenges that remain—with regard to creating efficient and equitable labor migration systems.
Migrants from the Philippines and Sri Lanka have taken on a growing role in filling labor shortages in Jordan, leading to significant challenges surrounding the recruitment of these foreign workers. Based on interviews with government officials in sending and receiving countries and focus groups with migrants, the report analyzes the role of private recruitment agencies and points to oversight gaps.
الأردنية ودعم اقتصاده. وابتدأت العَمالة غير العربية الآتية من آسيا بالزيادة في السنوات الأخيرة في الأردن، وبالأخص من سريلانكا والفِليبّين.
While aspects of the U.S. immigration system facilitate newcomers' contributions to economic growth and competitiveness, others undermine them. Reforms are needed to enhance the job-creating power of U.S. employers and strengthen the system's ability to select effectively from the large pool of foreign workers.
Drawing on experiences from Asia, Europe, North America, and the Pacific region, this report presents eight strategies that represent best practices developed by immigrant-receiving countries to increase the economic contributions of immigration.
Migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries rarely collaborate on migration issues because the structure of global migration systems ensures they often disagree about core policy issues. This report shows that migration collaboration makes sense when states share common goals they cannot achieve on their own.

Candlewood Baytown
July 19, 2015
I have stayed at several Candlewood over the years and I am a Rewards Club member.
I am assigned to a large Construction Project close by.
I had been staying at the Candlewood Baytown for around 4 weeks.
Last week, I was trying to extend my reservation for a additional week but was Informed that I could not.(all rooms were booked)
I had to move out to another hotel that was not near as nice.
The Staff was very professional and courteous and let me have a late checkout so I wouldn't be on the street several hours waiting to check into the other Hotel.
The only other issue I had during my stay there was that during the last week of my stay ((7 Days# there was no housekeeping service to my room.
The front desk person Informed me that this was the normal Housekeeping Schedule.
The Candlewood in Mt Pleasant Tx. and Dallas at the Galleria were much nicer facilities and not near as expensive.
The Clothes Dryers at the Baytown Candlewood Laundromat would not properly dry clothes#3 Cycles for Jeans)
I would stay at the Candlewood Baytown again if I had to, but would look around a lot before I did.

This week, a producer with the Museum's multimedia online and exhibition program Science Bulletins is heading to the North Sea to create a documentary film about a long-running experiment in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): a process where high-pressure carbon dioxide, a byproduct of energy production that contributes to global warming, is buried underground until it incorporates into the rock.
Reading the Language of Firefly Flashes
by AMNH on
Flashing flirted its way up the firefly family tree. These beetles' evolutionary history shows a strange metamorphosis unfolding. Firefly eyes grow bigger, more bug-like, as the insects' light organs enlarge. Their antennae, used like a nose to follow pheromones, shrink into stubs. The more important bioluminescent courtship signaling became throughout their history, the more the trappings of invisible communication faded out.
When Marc Branham, a professor of entomology at the University of Florida, began researching fireflies, he assumed such a beloved animal would be a textbook case in entomology. He was shocked to learn how little scientists knew about the common insect.

FACT SHEET: Proposed Rule - Update to the List of Acceptable Substitutes in Fire Protection
This rulemaking lists four substitutes as acceptable, subject to use conditions, for ozone-depleting halons in the fire suppression and explosion protection sector. All four are intended for use as total flooding agents to replace halon 1301. The listings are as follows:
- Envirogel with sodium bicarbonate additive: acceptable subject to use conditions as a substitute for total flooding uses;
- Powdered Aerosol D (Aero-K® and Stat-X® ): acceptable subject to use conditions which limit use to only normally unoccupied areas;
- Powdered Aerosol E (FirePro®): acceptable subject to use conditions which limit use to only normally unoccupied areas; and
- Phosphorous Tribromide (PBr 3): acceptable subject to use conditions which limit use to only aircraft engine nacelles.
- This listing provides users of specialized fire protection systems with additional flexibility in choosing alternatives to ozone-depleting halons. The primary users for the three aerosol agents (Envirogel with sodium bicarbonate additive, Aero-K® or Stat-X®, and FirePro®) are specialty industrial and commercial total flooding fire protection applications and further limited to those applications where the presence of agent residue is unacceptable. PBr 3 is proposed for use on aircraft, specifically for protection of the engine nacelles.
- On March 18, 1994 (59 FR 13044), the Agency established the SNAP program pursuant to section 612 of the Clean Air Act. This section requires EPA to evaluate the overall effects on human health and the environment of all substitutes for ozone-depleting substances. Results of these evaluations guide EPA in placing substitutes on either the list of acceptable or unacceptable substitutes. Rules promulgated under SNAP make it unlawful to replace an ozone-depleting substance with a substitute chemical or technology that may present adverse effects to human health and the environment. The intended effect of the SNAP program is to expedite movement away from ozone-depleting compounds toward the use of acceptable alternatives.
- SNAP reviews substitutes in 8 industrial sectors including foam blowing, refrigeration and air conditioning, solvents and aerosol propellants, and fire suppression and explosion protection. Since 1994, SNAP has reviewed over 300 substitutes and approved over 90%, most with some use condition to minimize environmental or health risks.

Hmmm... I always get less of a crown with the pull so i had to check some references and alhough it does give better penetration (as stated by you, I and references i have found) the pull technique has always given me a lower profile and less rounded bead. Now i'm not argueing as there's too many variables that can be user/operator related, but just stating that i get lower profile beads with the pull technique when all other settings are the same on the machine and on the same material and joint type.
Sitting here thinking about it I would guess that the reason i get flatter beads is from the amount of stickout I end up running based on the technique i'm using at the time ( i tend to have more stickout when pushing)
As far as the rep telling you not to weave the bead from one part to another, I can't speak from a structural integrity standpoint but i do NOT weave when butt welding thin materials or working with tubing joints. I just use small bursts traveling in a forwad direction to avoid burn through. I should also add that i'm not nearly the weldor that 90% of the members here are, I'm more of a fab guy that welds, so i'm just speaking of what tends to work best for me.

As for the weaving im not certified for anything structural with a wire feed. I use a stick for that. But i weave very little usually not at all but i use a wire feed for building gates and building some buggy cages. Never had a weld fail with the technique that i use.Syncrowave 250

from a hobby welder
I've read on this forum, others and in books that to flatten a mig welding bead increase the voltage or reduce the wire speed.
It works for me.

Not going to retype the whole passage, but if you're interested, I refer you to page 46 of the Miller GMAW handbook. This section deals with Direction of Travel-Type of Technique.
This manual can be downloaded or ordered in hardcopy as part of the Miller Student Pack ($25 including postage). The student pack, not only includes the GMAW handbook, but also an excellent TIG Handbook, along with a bunch of other goodies. Best $25 you can spend in welding.
Be careful of those "short bursts". Each one of them has the potential for a "cold start". A push technique is often used to reduce burnthru as the penetration is less.
When pulling the gun, the arc/heat is directed at an already molten puddle (preheated if you will), whereas with with a push the arc is directed at solid material. Think about it.
I use both techniques, just depends on what I'm trying to accomplish.Syncrowave 250 DX Tigrunner

I am a little confused.
I always PULL on thin metals to get LESS penetration. My thinking is that I am moving AWAY from the heat.

Push or Pull as apposed to burn through
I wanted to try and help clarify this burn through discussion. If you think about burn through, at what point of the weld bead does burn through take place? At the puddle, right? So, Sundowner is right. If you are using a pull technique in an already molten puddle and already extremely heated material, as you move along you are creating more heat and thus more molten temps than the thin wall can handle.......unless, of course, you stop welding and let it cool. With a pushing technique, you would essentially be pushing the filler metal into still solid material, which has not reached the temp of weld bead or puddle yet. does that help?
Also, on the issue about weaving your weld bead, especially when welding tubing. The claim is that when weaving while welding this tubing is it generates even more heat than necessary and can cause undercutting at the shoulders of your weld bead. Make sense? I never weave when I'm welding thin wall tubing, just a nice, even straight bead and has always worked well for me.

Im not so sure I'd call .120 wall thin tubing either...
Most of the roll cage material I work with is thinner than that, at .095.
My best advice to you is to stay 90' to the joint at all times, and when fitting the two pieces of tubing together, make sure that you eliminate the feathered edge of the tubing...a quick once over with a sander will fix that. Ive seen several cages crack when the fabricator didnt fit the tubes very well.
If you stay 90' to the joint, and you have the welder (and weldor) set up right, shouldnt have any issue.Precision is only as important as the project...if you're building a rocket ship...1/64" would matter. If you're building a sledgehammer...an 1/8" probably wont.
Quoted from the Miller GMAW handbook:
"There are some distinct advantages of a push technique. One advantage is when relatively thin materials are to be welded, or when doing a process such as hardfacing. Low penetration would be required, and a push technique along with a faster travel speed can help achieve this in certain applications. The concentrated heat and arc force are now directed away from the weld puddle (and its thermal heat). This generally results in less penetration and a flatter, wider bead."
This manual can be downloaded or ordered in hardcopy as part of the Miller Student Pack ($25 including postage). The student pack, not only includes the GMAW handbook, but also an excellent TIG Handbook, along with a bunch of other goodies. Best $25 you can spend in welding.

I really like the way Stacy runs.
I don't know that we can spend an early pick on a RB, but if he's there in the 4th, I'd pull the trigger. More I watch him, though, I think he goes 2nd or 3rd RD.

Michael Mauti is a kid that I really like at the ILB position. I think you make a good point about him being the classic small efficient Penn St. linebacker. He's essentially the same type prospect that Sean Lee and Paul Posluszny were, including fighting back through the knee surgeries.
Mauti is an excellent special teams player and that alone will get him on a roster.
I remember when we were recruiting Jonathan Stewart to Alabama, but we already had Donta Hightower so we cooled on him. Stewart is a typical big, 2-down type linebacker to bang around on the inside of a 3-4 defense, but I certainly don't see anything special. He was a key cog on one of the worst defenses in the country last year. Misses tackles.... saw a lot of that against Florida a couple weeks ago.
I think you are right on about Mark Popek - OG out of USF being underrated. The guy was named to the Outland Watchlist before the season started and didn't get a chance to show his talent this year due to injuries. You are also right about him looking like a tackle. He played OT in his prior seasons with the Bulls and was moved to Guard due to needs. The kid can play any position on the line and has the size to compete in the NFL. I don't know why he isn't being projected as a middle round pick.
You certainly hit the nail on the head over rating keenan davis.
As an iowa hawkeye fan, keep the phins and this dude far apart.
Im verysuprised WR Chris Harper is not on the underrated list.Needs a little developement but I see alot of James Jones in him.
Quinton Patton is gonna be a steal for someone.
I couldn't agree more about Jonathan Franklin and Terrance Williams being overrated
Richard Samuel- Georgia. He was 4th String RB behind two true freshman and a rSO. He isnt underrated. He just isnt very good. I saw where you had a safety from Georgia, Shawn Williams, listed as overrated. How is he overrated? i havent seen him rated high enough by anyone to be overrated.
That finally takes some pressure off the safety position, with that said I still believe that Miami needs help at FS. Someone needs to push or move Clemons, but even Clemons showed improvements in this defense so that is encouraging. Maybe now you can take a stab at getting a solid corner to play opposite Smith (assuming he is re-signed).
