Some networks have been busy introducing new series and season premieres, and Fox is no exception.
Tonight's prime-time schedule includes the new series "Dads" — about a couple of video-game developers who take in their difficult-to-live-with fathers — at 8 p.m. and the new series "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" — a comedy about an eclectic group of New York detectives (a la "Barney Miller"?) — at 8:30 p.m.
"New Girl" opens its third season at 9 p.m. with Jess and Nick traveling to a Mexican beach town, while "The Mindy Project" begins season two at 9:30 p.m. with Mindy meeting the new OB-GYN (James Franco).
CBS is still airing repeats of "NCIS" (at 8 p.m.), "NCIS: Los Angeles" (at 9 p.m.) and "Person of Interest." The cast of "NCIS," I understand, will undergo another change with the arrival of Ziva David's replacement.
Since the elimination portion of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," one would think the network had some game plan to cope with the extra two hours Tuesday nights. Maybe some new shows — dramas, comedies. Seems ABC never got the memo. Instead, ABC is showing "Iron Man 2" with Robert Downey Jr. at 8 tonight.
Bravo is airing a repeat of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" at 8 p.m., while the series premiere of "I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding" begins at 9 p.m. as Gregg and NeNe Leakes plan to tie the knot again. "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum is well-known for walking off "Celebrity Apprentice."

Ming Kee (formerly Happy Bakery), Hong Kong Style B-B-Q in San Francisco
One of the most welcome bits of news I've read here was word that burned-down Happy Bakery on Ocean had been reborn as Ming Kee on Irving Street. Now that I've had the chance to stop by there twice, I thought I'd start a new thread that continues from here.
So far I've had the Cantonese roast duck, salt-blanched chicken feet, and gui fei gai and they're the same and as good in the new venue. I'd made the error of trying to stop in after 8pm when the case was empty. No roast duck that I wanted but this made me buy the gui fei gai (empress chicken), the only thing left, and I'm glad I revisited it.
Here's the photo of the chicken feet, alongside a pile of denuded bones spit out Chinese grandpa style.
(Just to skeeve out Sara Deseran who recently ate chicken feet for the first time. http://www.modernluxury.com/san-franc... )
Closing time is 9pm, and there were a few customers seated at tables. In this new incarnation, Ming Kee does offer a more extended menu. But the majority of business seems to be the line-up for meats to go. On my mid-afternoon, week day stop, the line spilled out the door onto the sidewalk.
This old post on Happy Bakery discusses what to order.
Various friends have asked whether the staff are as dour as before. So far, there may be a honeymoon effect in that while there are still scowls and few smiles, at least I've not heard any employees screaming at each other. Or maybe there's a more solid door to the kitchen to muffle the sound.
TastingTable and SF Weekly have reported on the opening as well. Perhaps more non-Chinese clientele dropping in has toned down public display of staff feuds.
I'll note that Anna Roth's review steals Ruth Lafler's description of the ginger-scallion condiment as Chinese chimichurri.
Ming Kee Inc.
Hong Kong Style B-B-Q
2191 Irving St (between 22 & 23 Ave.)
San Francisco, CA 94122
Open 7 days a week
9am to 9pm
This is the first posting I've seen on Chowhound regarding Happy Bakery and Deli post fire.
Two weeks prior to the fire, I went up into S. F. and visited Happy Bakery and Deli on Ocean Avenue. The soy sauce chicken was as good as ever and the roast goose was pretty good (better than a previous try – juicy!). After the fire, there was a posting on Yelp which said that Happy Bakery and Deli was reopening at 2181 Irving.
When I went to the spot, I recognized it as the old familiar corner where it used to be the New Hai Ky Restaurant, one of my old favorite places I used to go for roast duck. I saw no signs indicating that it 2181 Irving was now the new Happy Bakery and Deli. I got in line and geared my defenses against all the shoving and pushing by the little old ladies next to me – feels the good old days! I asked the person next to me if this was the new HB&D? He had no answer. I finally made my way up and recognized the bbq chopper as that same old dour guy at HB&D that used to chop up my order (never thought I would be glad to see him again!) – that was the only indication that Ming Kee might be connected to HB&D at all. I bought half a soy sauce chicken and a half Gwei Fei Gai. Then, I spied a small line for roast goose on the sign posted up the wall. I was happy I managed to get half a goose!
What I bought looked good, but I was disappointed in that it was lacking in taste as before. It was O.K., but I did not think any of it would be considered as outstanding as at HB&D! I was not impressed with the Ming Kee Restaurant itself; there were only a few people eating in, a sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle at the New Hai Ky. I will not consider returning to Ming Kee for a while!
re: drewskiSF
Thanks again for the pointer. When I returned last week, I asked about the roast pork, as I'd never had it at the old place and was told it would be out of the oven in 10 minutes, so I stuck around. Only the belly portion is used here so it has a beautiful, uniformly puffed up and crackly skin. $7.25/lb
re: Melanie Wong
Pork Belly for 7.25/lb..... that's quite a deal. Thanks for posting
re: fourunder
That's a bit on the high side for San Francisco, this place gets a premium.
re: Melanie Wong
Is this place superior to any place on Stockton (?)
re: fourunder
For the roast duck in particular.
re: Melanie Wong
Who does the best Roast Suckling Pig? In NYC Chinatown....It runs $16-22 per pound when you can find it.
re: fourunder
Best suckling pig will be from one of the higher end dim sum palaces. Koi Palace in Daly City is the most reliable for barbecue meats and has suckling pig in good supply.
re: CYL
The post I linked to at the top of my original post had the news and some reports for the new Ming Kee, buried in a long, more general discussion. So I'm glad that I started a new thread that caught your eye finally. I intentionally have not ordered the soy sauce chicken yet, figuring that the master sauce must have been a victim of the fire and will need to cook a few thousand more birds before it becomes mature enough. I was happiest with the gui fei gai, or perhaps I was influenced and overly happy just to have anything that I could buy. The salt poached chicken feet are definitely the same, and my mother recently asked me to go back and get more. Parenthetically, I'll note that Anna Roth's review in SF Weekly said the chicken feet were too salty . . . a comment that is on the order of saying Doritos or country hams are too salty.
When New Hai Ky sold out, this location was home to Toon Kee for a few years, another Teochew Chinese-Vietnamese place with a similar menu to NHK, a few more elaborate dishes, and a barbecue stand in front. It had a bit more varied menu but I never did find my go-to dish there. If you're missing New Hai Ky, Lam Hoa Thuan down the street is owned by the same people.
re: Melanie Wong
Thank you for the info. When NHK moved a couple of blocks up the avenues, I did buy roast duck at the new place (LHT) a couple of times. I also was aware TK had a menu similar to NHK but did not try it (much more elaborate than the new Ming Kee of today). I was neither impressed or attracted by either Lam Hoa Thuan or Toon Kee for some reasons - perhaps it was a subconscious feung shui sort of phenomena????
re: CYL
While Lam Hoa Thuan is started after NHK, there was a period of time that both were open at the same time before NHK closed. Then I found LHT the better restaurant, felt like all the love was going to the new spot. Sure, feng shui can come into play, but how would you explain that you're not enamored with the current occupant, Ming Kee? :-)
re: Melanie Wong
My big disappointment was that my soy sauce chicken favorite did not seem to come up to that at the Happy Bakery and Deli at the old Ocean Avenue location. Don't know when I'll be up to the city to try again. Waiting to see other Chowhounder postings and comments.
re: Melanie Wong
As the dour chopper always ask me, I got the "po doung"/ regular chicken. I have tried the "wong mo gai" /free range chicken before and did not seem to like it as much.
re: Melanie Wong
I could not have stated it better! Am totally in synch with your observations.
Picked up a roasted duck and soy sauce chicken after reading this thread. Probably the best soy sauce chicken I have ever had. The duck wast bad either. Split it in half and put it under the broiler for a few minutes really crisped-up the skin.
Thank you for the rec!
Quite a scene on the sidewalk at Ming Kee's customers and passersby read the notice that it's closing on Irving after today. Cell phones whipped out to alert their friends, grandmas calling the family to find out what extras to bring home for the weekend's feasting, customers bemoaning with like-minded strangers that they'll have to follow the owners back to Ocean Ave despite the inconvenience.
Masterful Stir Fries at Ming Kee – Hurry, Closing April 15 (San Francisco)
Chowdown Report: Ming Kee in San Francisco
re: hyperbowler
Guangdong BBQ Tea House is supposedly staffed by a roastie chef from R & G and a stir fry chef from mayflower/millbrae (thanks Ken!)
eats: "rock cod flllets with cream corn"
-disappointed swai fish used, not rock rod
won ton soup
-shrimp crunchy but not flavorful
house soup
roasties are the go to items here. not much of a meat eater these days. large menu here.
re: shanghaikid
The vast majority of Cantonese restaurants selling rock rod fillets are not going to use rock cod in the dishes. There was this news report in Hong Kong investigating the actual "rock cod" used in so many lunch specials; it turned out to be sole (probably frozen).

Women's Health
Vaginal Infections
In this article
How Can I Protect Myself From Bacterial Vaginosis?
Ways to prevent bacterial vaginosis are not yet known. Female hygiene products like douches and deodorants will not cure the infection. These products may even make the infection worse.
What Vaginal Infections Are Spread Through Sex?
There are several vaginal infections that are transmitted through sexual contact. Trichomoniasis, caused by a tiny single-celled organism that infects the vagina, can cause a frothy, greenish-yellow discharge. Often this discharge will have a foul smell. Women with trichomonal vaginitis may complain of itching and soreness of the vagina and vulva, as well as burning during urination. In addition, there can be discomfort in the lower abdomen and vaginal pain with intercourse. These symptoms may be worse after the menstrual period. Many women, however, do not develop any symptoms.
Chlamydia is another sexually transmitted form of vaginitis. Unfortunately, most women with chlamydia infection do not have symptoms, which makes diagnosis difficult. A vaginal discharge is sometimes present, but not always. More often, a woman might experience light bleeding, especially after intercourse, and she may have pain in the lower abdomen and pelvis. Chlamydial vaginitis is most common in young women (18-35 years) who have multiple sexual partners. If you fit this description, you should request screening for chlamydia during your annual checkup. If left untreated, chlamydia can cause damage to a woman's reproductive organs, and can make it difficult for a woman to become pregnant.
Several sexually transmitted viruses cause vaginitis, including the herpes simplex virus and the humanpapilloma virus (HPV). The primary symptom of herpes is pain associated with lesions or "sores." These sores usually are visible on the vulva or the vagina but occasionally are deep inside the vagina and can only be seen during a gynecologic exam.
HPV, sometimes referred to as genital warts, can cause warts to grow in the vagina, rectum, vulva, or groin. These warts, when visible, usually are white to gray in color, but they may be pink or purple. When warts are not visible, a Pap smear or a more specialized HPV test may be the only way to detect the virus.

Despite finding trouble off the first tee Tuesday afternoon at Laurel Mill Golf Course, Ridgway freshman Josh Roselli finished with a 41 to grab medalist honors in a 29-stroke victory over the visiting Brockway Rovers.
Roselli was joined by junior Josh Mitchell, who shot a 42. Ridgway sophomore Jake Klawuhn followed with a 45, junior Jesse Reynolds with 46, and junior Matt Aiello with 47 strokes for a team score of 221.
Ridgway sophomore Mtichell Gilmore also was out on the course and brought home a 48; he was joined by freshman T.J. Schlimm with 50 and sophomore Mason Stark with 53.
With three returning seniors on the roster, Ridgway head girls varsity volleyball coach Janet Redmond has placed leadership duties squarely on their shoulders as they head into the new season.
"The strongpoint of this team I think will be Nicole Breier," said Ridgway head girls varsity volleyball coach Janet Redmond, now in her fourth year at the helm of the program. "She's complemented by fellow seniors Erica Thorwart and Emily Ames, and [junior] Katie Oknefski, another player who has done a wonderful job, and she's going to be a middle hitter for us this year plus be a setter.
With two seniors and three underclassmen, Ridgway girls varsity golf coach Gary Gerber II will be looking for consistency and improvement on the links this year.
"For the underclassmen, they're younger golfers so you're looking for some improvement throughout the season," Gerber said. "Some of them worked on their game during the summer and some of them didn't.
JOHNSONBURG – What the 2011 Johnsonburg golf team lacks in depth, it appears it will make up for it in talent this season with early-season success.
The Rams have just six players on their roster but the Rams went out and shot a blistering total of 199 in its first match against Brockway. Johnsonburg coach Matt Myers said the team lost two players to injury during the off-season and two players who decided to play football.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg volleyball brings a senior-laden group into the 2011 season, a group which experienced reaching the District 9 Final Four last season.
"Things are going well, they're a coachable bunch," Johnsonburg coach Bill Shuey said. "They're eager to learn and get better at their skills. I think we're going to surprise some people this year."
After a 2010 derailed by injuries, Ridgway boys soccer looks to make a comeback this fall.
One positive that head coach John Ogden took out of the injuries was seeing younger players get a chance to play at the varsity level.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg boys soccer will field an experienced and still relatively young team entering the 2011 season.
"We return quite a few lettermen," Johnsonburg coach Lance Rezmerski said. "We have three seniors this year and probably around nine or 10 juniors. A lot of experience coming back. We're working on the basics right now. Things are going smoothly."
Coming off of a district semifinal appearance in Class AA last season, the Ridgway Lady Elker girls soccer team comes back with optimism for the 2011 season.
"We have a total of 22 girls this year which is about the same as last year," Ridgway coach Greg Maddalena said. "Good numbers, very good numbers for the co-op. This year, I got five girls from Johnsonburg. It's really working out, I'm really loving the co-op, both schools are great to work with. I really think we're going to make it back to where we were last year."
With 26 golfers on the roster, the Ridgway golf team is already having a banner year in terms of participation.
JOHNSONBURG – Looking to improve on a 6-7 mark from last season, the Johnsonburg girls varsity tennis team will have "new faces in new places" this year but also a picture of consistency in lone senior Taylor Scida.
"She is, in my opinion, the best single player in Class A, the No. 1 player on our roster, and she has to go out and prove that she's the best, not just to everyone else but to herself as well," said fifth-year head coach Gregg Dauber. "I know she can do it, she just has to be mentally strong-- she really has every part of the game except for the mental part.

One of the features i want to add very soon is an OPTION to say that FARR should not try to match aliases or plugins unless you start your search with a special character. this could help avoid situations where people are having aliases accidentally trigger when they dont want them to.
so if the option was enabled for example then if you just type search words it will only match against files on your disk.
and to get an alias you would do like @music, at which point it would ONLY match against aliases.

Mario Andretti has doffed his hat to Niki Lauda for not imposing team orders at Merc and also praised Lewis Hamilton's attitude and mental strength...
Former World Champion Mario Andretti has doffed his hat to Niki Lauda for not imposing team orders at Mercedes and also praised Lewis Hamilton's attitude and mental strength.
The 2014 Drivers Championship appears to be straight fight between Hamilton and Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg and it's the latter who is currently leading the standings by 11 points even though he has won one less race than the Briton.
However, there have been plenty of twists and turns in this year's Championship battle with the tension between the pair often threatening to boil over. The Merc team bosses had their hands full in Hungary last time out when Hamilton was told to let Rosberg through, but ignored the request.
Lauda, the Mercedes non-executive director, later admitted they got it wrong and has insisted they won't impose team orders.
In an interview with the official Formula 1 website, 1978 World Champion Andretti says he has been impressed with the way Lauda and co have handled the pressure, and also admitted he is "rooting a little bit more" for Hamilton.
"Here's the thing: it could have been a very boring situation if only one of the two of them took off, a bit like when Michael Schumacher was at Ferrari and you just knew who was going to win," he said.
"Now it's nothing like that, and that's a blessing. It's early in the season, but the fact that they've been devoid of any real team orders - mainly because Mercedes are in a position of luxury - means that the two drivers have been able to steal points from each other and it's still likely that one of them is going to be World Champion.
"My hat goes off to Niki Lauda for saying 'no team orders'. That's what has kept the interest alive, regardless of whether they're dominating or not. We've seen some epic racing between the two of them.
"I have a tendency to root a little bit more for Lewis, mainly because of the bad luck he's had mechanically. When anything happens, it happens to his car and yet he has kept his chin up. And look at the performances he's had: starting from the pits in Hungary - it was fabulous to see [his drive]. How could you not root for him? He never gave up; he kept his attitude on a positive level. It could have been a total disaster if he'd had his chin down and been beaten mentally, but he's shown a lot of character this season and if he wins the Championship it will be really, really well deserved."
That doesn't mean the American feels Rosberg would be an unworthy World Champion should he pull it off.
"Nico has shown himself to be a very solid, worthy competitor," he said. "He's got great racecraft and he would be a worthy Champion as well, no question. He's held up his side brilliantly - that's what makes it so good.
"Both Nico and Lewis are capable winners - you can't take anything away from one or the other, it's just on Lewis' side you hate to see what he has had to overcome at times. More than once he's had some mechanical issues that seem to have afflicted him more than [Nico]. But Nico has definitely shown that he has the class of a Champion. Mercedes are very fortunate to have two drivers like that. It's going to be very interesting to see how the second half of the season unfolds, but it has a lot of promise, no question about it."

Celebrating the Legacy of a Noble Goal
By: FC Law on August 19, 2013 | 12 comments
A few months before she was murdered, I was speaking with Irene Ong about her Noble Goal. Half in jest, I asked her to tell me hers. I was surprised when she said, "I need to go home and start thinking about it carefully." It surprised me because Irene was well known for her caring and service. She was Director of Kids Programs in a Kiwanis Club, an international non-profit organization involved in alleviating the plight of disadvantaged children. She…
What does "teamwork" mean?

One of my favorite elements of our global network is the opportunity to discuss ideas with EQ allies from around the globe. Through the lenses of culture and language and across borders and time zones, we're forced, invited, to reconsider "simple" words.

Tanabe-san, our Regional Network Director in Japan, said that…

My family and I are back in Japan "on the way home" from our 10 weeks in Asia; almost 2 months ago we visited Kiyomizudera, the temple of pure water, in Kyoto -- and there's a scene that keeps playing in my mind. We went early in the morning, and the grounds were echoing with peacefulness... until a group of Japanese schoolchildren came bounding down the path. Patty, Emma (now 13), Max (11) and I were enjoying the spring for…

In the wee hours of that Thursday morning, 15 hours before he passed away, I was alone with John in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit. With just the sounds of medical machines gently beeping around us, I had an unforgettable "conversation" with John. He never regained consciousness after his surgery. But I quietly looked at him while he rested, and then I said to my only brother of 40 plus years – "John, what happened to all those years?" Putting…
Reflecting on Reflection Across Cultures

Last week in Japan my translator asked, "when you say, 'reflection,' what do you mean?" Midori said she couldn't find a Japanese word that matched what I seemed to be talking about. It's something I love about travel -- and about parenting -- I have opportunities to look at something so familiar, so known, that I don't know it. "Reflection" is a word I use often, it's part of our Change MAP and central to the skills of Know Yourself…

Meaning & Origins
Short form of Richard, or, less frequently, of Frederick or other names ending in -ric(k). It is also used as an independent given name, especially in North America.
|300th in the U.S.
Scottish and northern English: very common patronymic from the personal name Ander(s), a northern Middle English form of Andrew. See also Andreas. The frequency of the surname in Scotland is attributable, at least in part, to the fact that St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, so the personal name has long enjoyed great popularity there. Legend has it that the saint's relics were taken to Scotland in the 4th century by a certain St. Regulus. The surname was brought independently to North America by many different bearers and was particularly common among 18th-century Scotch-Irish settlers in PA and VA. In the United States, it has absorbed many cognate or likesounding names in other European languages, notably Swedish Andersson, Norwegian and Danish Andersen, but also Ukrainian Andreychyn, Hungarian Andrásfi, etc.

"Keep On Hand"
These double ended snaps are so handy. I have used them to keep the ends of two ex-pens together when I made an enclosure around a small part of the yard. They are great for hanging up water pails as well.
"Very Handy!"
These things are fantastic for clipping a bucket to the fence, clipping fence panels together?Ǫwhatever you need to clip in a hurry! The double-ended snap makes them handy plus is an extra safety feature if using them to tether an animal for trimming.

As drummer in a forgotten New Jersey band in the 1960s, David Chase never got close — never even got close to close — to making it in music. Yet from a sound check of his rock-infused HBO series "The Sopranos," it's clear the music never faded away.
So what better way for the TV revolutionary to make his film directing debut than with a story that's all about the music? Chase's "Not Fade Away" — a somewhat autobiographical drama about a Jersey boy playing drums in a '60s band and dreaming of stardom — would be called a promising first feature from some unknown filmmaker doing the rounds at Sundance. Coming from a Hollywood heavyweight who's spent decades in the TV trenches, it's a hopeful sign, or maybe just wishful thinking, that more of the quality that has fled film for television might somehow be channeled back to the big-screen.
"Not Fade Away" is a sweet, sad, smart and satisfying piece of nostalgia. Yet it's more than just a little acid trip down memory lane. Chase writes intimately and authoritatively about a time and place and attitude he lived himself, and does it with such energy and affection we wish we were back at the beginning ourselves, when rock 'n' roll grew up from mere pop music to an art and lifestyle all its own.
Much of the drama arises out of generational conflict, in this case rebellious son Douglas (John Magaro) and his pragmatic, my-way-or-the-highway dad ("Sopranos" star James Gandolfini). Douglas is infected by music — chiefly, the bluesy, rootsy rock of the early Rolling Stones — and joins a band with some New Jersey pals who are similarly caught up in the British invasion of the early and mid '60s.
From there we get not the overdone tale of a group on the rise and struggling with the pitfalls of fame and success. Instead, we get the genuine and more illuminating story of all those losers who didn't make it. Who maybe didn't put in the time, maybe didn't have the talent, maybe didn't pursue the dream with the single-minded fanaticism that it usually takes to rise to the top, or even to climb the first couple of rungs.
Writer-director Chase lets his story and characters evolve naturally with the music and the decade, Douglas and his band mates advancing from three-chord cover tunes to their own stab at a grand rock epic.
Along the way, they live the rock life even if they don't reap its rewards. Egos clash as the band decides Douglas has a better voice and is promoted to frontman over initial vocalist Eugene (Jack Huston). Tragedy strikes in a reckless accident involving guitarist Wells (Will Brill). The band gets a disheartening wake-up call about paying dues after an audition for celebrated producer and songwriter Jerry Ragovoy (Brad Garrett).
And Douglas satisfies what is arguably the main goal for any guy who joins a rock band — to attract women — as he wins over high school dream girl Grace (Bella Heathcote).
It's no surprise, considering the union of music and drama on "The Sopranos," that Chase assembles a killer soundtrack featuring the Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks, Bo Diddley, Robert Johnson, Lead Belly, Elmore James and many others. He's aided by fellow Jersey guy and "Sopranos" co-star Steven Van Zandt, a member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, who does double duty as both music supervisor and an executive producer on the film.

Gallery: Green-Roofed West Kowloon Terminus Will Link Hong Kong With Ch...
Currently under construction, the Express Link West Kowloon Terminus will provide a high speed connection to the Pearl River Delta, mainland China and the rest of the high speed rail network. The rail station is mostly underground with only a small component above ground with commercial development located north of the proposed West Kowloon Cultural District. What pokes out above ground is a beautiful soaring volume with arched fins, clerestory windows, plenty of daylight and a lot of landscaping. Much of the station's roof is actually a green roof and pedestrian paths cross over the top so as to make the above ground portion a park rather than a train station.
The station will have a footprint of more than 25 acres and connects to a 26 km underground rail tunnel. This tunnel connects to Shenzen and provides both short haul and long haul service, including connection to China's high speed rail network. Trains leaving Hong Kong will run at a maximum speed of 200 kph and will shorten the journey time between Hong Kong and Guangzhou from about 100 minutes to 48 minutes. Aedas & Aecom were hired by the Mass Transit Railway Corporation and expect to complete the project in 2015.

Friday, April 12, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (April 12, 2002) - Donnie Sharp (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) tossed a complete-game seven hitter, striking out 11, while Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) drove in three runs to lead East Tennessee State past VMI, 8-3, in Southern Conference baseball action at Cardinal Park. VMI (8-22, 0-12 SoCon) did all of its scoring in the first inning, getting four of its hits in the initial frame. Ben Rand led off the game with a single and with one out Andy Barden singled to right, advancing Rand to third. Barden stole second before Sharp struck out Elliott Erbe for the second out. Jason Annis then hit a ball that got under third baseman Michael Giroud's (St. Petersburg, Fla.) glove for an error. Rand and Barden both scored on the play for a 2-0 Keydet lead. Chris Brooks then followed with a double to left that plated Annis for a 3-0 VMI advantage after the first half of an inning. East Tennessee State (12-20, 5-8 SoCon) did not wait long to answer, unleashing a barrage of extra-base hits in the bottom of the second when the Buccaneers scored six times to put the game away early. Brandon Cross (Bluff City, Tenn.) led off with his first home run of the season to start things off. Kirk Keithley (Peoria, Ill.) followed with a double, but VMI starter, Jeremy Harper, got the next two hitters before the Bucs put together five straight hits, the first four for extra bases, to score five more times. Justin Clear (Lafollette, Tenn.) doubled, followed by a triple from Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) that scored a run each. Matt Traylor (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Moore then had back-to-back doubles before Davis Burklin (Knoxville, Tenn.) finished things off with an RBI single. That would be all that ETSU would need on this night, as Sharp allowed just three more hits after the first inning to keep VMI at bay. He allowed just one walk on his way to his third win of the season, and his 11 Ks were the most by an ETSU hurler this season. Moore drove in his second run of the night on an RBI single in the sixth and his final in the eighth on a sac fly. Moore and Turner each had three hits to lead ETSU, with Turner scoring three runs as well. Zach Kennedy was the only VMI player with two hits. Harper took the loss for VMI, giving up six runs and nine hits in five innings of work. East Tennessee State and VMI will play again tomorrow in the second game of the three-game set, with a start time of 2:00 p.m. at Cardinal Park.

Idaho Maps are an invaluable part of family history research, especially if you live far from where your ancestor lived. Because Idaho political boundaries often change, historic maps are critical in helping you discover the precise location of your ancestor's hometown, what land they owned, who their neighbors were, and more. The Idaho State and County Formation Map begins in 1848 when it was a part of the northwest territory, and then follows through by year until the last county formation was created in February 1919. Idaho Territory was offically organized on March 4, 1863 with only one county formed, Owyhee county. Over the next 27 years, approximately 19 counties had been created before Idaho became the 43rd state on July 3, 1890.
This link will be located in our Idaho Maps & Places, under "County Formation Maps".

About the IDGenWeb Project
One of the newer states, Idaho has a short but interesting history that includes mountain men, many American Indian tribes, mining, cattlemen and sheepherders, outlaws and law abiding pioneers, and a broad spectrum of immigrants from all over the world. Idaho, also, has about the most diverse topography of all the states, including high mountain ranges, forests, probably more running water than any other state, lakes, lava fields, deserts, and lush farmlands.
It was originally a part of the Oregon Territory. Idaho became a territory in 1863 (which included at the time most of Montana and Wyoming) and then became a state in 1890. There are currently 44 counties, in which it includes portions of four different Indian reservations.
Each county have a volunteer coordinator or host or hostess, with an associated website. We would love to hear from you if you find our resources useful, if you would like to volunteer to become a county coordinator, if you have problems to report or suggestions to make, and especially if you have some information you would like to contribute to our effort.

In the wake of his stint on FOX's "American Idol," pop-vocalist Nate Tao, 24, is hoping his exposure on the talent-search show will help launch the next phase of his career dreams.
"Even though I didn't make it all the way, it's given me so much attention ... It's a foot in the door," said Nate, a 2007 Herndon High School graduate who made it through to the third round of Hollywood auditions before being cut by the show's celebrity judges. Nate had previously auditioned for talent-search shows "The X Factor," also by FOX, and NBC's "The Voice." However, he said American Idol was where he saw the most success.
"'Idol' is a great platform to put yourself on to get noticed... Winning 'Idol' is not everything for sure," he said. "Just look at the track record of who didn't win and what they are doing now and who did win and what they aren't doing. There's some disparity."
Nate, whose favorite Idol is season one winner Kelly Clarkson, says he hopes this track record favors him and the release of his first, self-titled album next month.
And while millions of viewers got the chance to follow Nate's and other American Idol auditions on national television, the singer says he struggles with sharing his gift with his parents who are deaf.
"Music has always been a big part of my life. There are times that I just kind of forgot my parents are deaf," Nate said. "Sometimes it's bittersweet because with deaf people like my parents you can't bond over music, you can only show them the lyrics... It's just not complete for them..."
"When I really wanted to pursue singing, my parents weren't so sure. They looked at me like, 'Wait a minute, we don't know if you can even sing.'"
Nate's parents, who emigrated from Taiwan in the 1980's and live in Reston, attended most of his high school and major college performances in an effort to show support.
"That is what a parent should do," Anni Tao wrote in an email. "I must admit that we always showed up at the beginning. During the break, we met him, gave him flowers and then we sneaked out and went home. It was hard for us to sit for two hours and not understand the performance. Nate understood..."
Mark Tao, Nate's father, said, "I remember one night watching Nate perform during his senior year. He was singing 'It's So Hard To Say Goodbye' by Boyz II Men. There was a girl also by his side. He started to sing and suddenly we noticed the girl signing [American Sign Language] for us. We were shocked... We were deeply touched by this surprise and my wife broke into tears. That was a special moment that we would never forget."
Mark and Anni said they look to the crowd's reaction and Nate's smile to see how well the performance went.
"The only way I can tell is to look at other people to see if they stand up and clap," Anni said. "Then I know he had a good performance. But I clap every time after he performs."
Nate lives in Los Angeles, works as a host at a restaurant, gives private vocal lessons and performs in random music gigs to support himself.
"My goal is to definitely get management because I think, at this point, things are getting to a point where it's hard for me to manage stuff by myself," he said. "Right now I'm running around like crazy... I'd like to start touring and really playing my music, specifically in Asia."
Nate recorded his first album during a recent trip to Singapore to visit friend and producer Tat Tong, who he met in Los Angeles.
"I think his powerful pipes and unique tone will help him stand out in the crowded market," said Tong, a signed songwriter with Universal Music Publishing Group. Tong also owns a production company, T2 Productions based in Singapore, which hosts mostly Asian recording artists.
"The industry people I've brought him to meet in Singapore have never failed to be impressed when he starts singing. I think he definitely has a special gift there," Tong said. "He's clean cut and Asian, which as a singer may be something new to many Americans, but I think in the wake of PSY and the K-pop invasion, audiences are probably primed for more diversity in their singers. At least, we can hope."
At Herndon High School, former teachers were following Nate's progress on "American Idol" closely, excitedly cheering on one of their own.
"Everyone felt proud that he was from Herndon [High School]," Herndon choral director Dana Van Slyke said. "I showed my current students some videos of him singing back in high school... Nate always gave a special performance. He is a very versatile singer... He was often a featured soloist. I was reminded too that he won our version of 'Herndon Idol.'"
Dana Van Slyke's husband, Jim, was Nate's private vocal lessons instructor.
"Nate is my 'baby' and I could not be more proud of him," Jim said. "We talked about his singing career, well, for countless hours I'm sure... He is already making such great connections for himself and obviously his successes are adding up."
Career success in a highly competitive industry like pop-music, Jim said, can mean being in the right place at the right time.
"I think this American Idol experience could be just the thing he needs to get him instant national exposure," he said. "But truly [he is] one of the most gifted singers and musicians I have ever worked with. I agree with [American Idol celebrity judge] Keith Urban when he said Nate's singing looked and sounded so easy. That's hard technical work."
Nate's first single "Sooner" off his new album is available for free download on his website NateTao.com.

Now that I finally have a detached garage all too myself I have been making my own stuff to suit my needs.
It only takes a couple of minutes to answer a post sometimes. No big deal . The person asking might be pressed for time, schooling, homework , two jobs, assisting ma and pa , and whatever. They just don't have the time as some of us do to do a search. Just reply if you want and if not, fine. This is about helping each other.
By the way, rescue welding, I sent you a pm. I tried posting info but had some kind of admid review come up.

A cool little metal art project we built back in the day in school was fly hooks, all metal and about a foot long. you can sell em if you get them in the right place,ie a fishing/bait/ sportinggoods store. we used cable, baling wire, mig wire, or anything we could think of. Another is if you are in a hunting area, we made european mount deer heads( skull and antlers) all out of pipe and plate, mig welds for texture, lol. Ill see if I can get some pics, but use your imagination.If you are where there are tourists, try to make somthing unique, and you might make a buck or two.

In the past years my wife would go to a big craft fair once year with her friends. They would come back with some metal yard items tagged as made in Mexico. Simple materials mostly 3/16 hr mild steel rod and sheet metal, some adorned with parts available from www.kingmetals.com. Things like smaller trellis, planter stands, sunbursts, etc. It would be tough to compete on price for what they were selling it at that event. But that was only available once a year.
Maybe find one of those events, go take pictures, choose two or three simple things and make some simple bending fixtures to make more than one of each. Just don't invest too much and keep in mind your learning something in the process. Make up a small amount of each and have a yard sale. By the time you price it for your materials and consumables you'll probably be lucky to break even. What you learn in the process will be priceless.
That is advice coming from a guy that looking back has more regrets about NOT trying something than regrets for trying something.
Good Luck!

A project that we did back in high school was a tree stump pencil/pen holder. Basically get a piece of pipe and weld stick weld beads over and over lengthwise down the pipe to create the bark. Then weld it to a piece of plate and make an axe or dress up the stump with a branch or 2 and your done. Good practice for just running beads and if you mess up it just ads character to the bark lol

If you can't find some project plans from there, maybe near the lower left area of the page, then you might wish to reconsider welding as it requires too many active brain cells

Singaporean label RAOUL might not be a household name just yet, but it definitely deserves to be. Nearly 10 years old, RAOUL is the beautiful child of Douglas and Odile Benjamin, and grew from a menswear shirting company to two full ready-to-wear labels for men and women. It was the brand's simple, classic bags that won us over on our first trip to Singapore, and its schoolgirl-sportif separates persuaded us to stick with 'em for the long haul.
For spring '13, RAOUL relied on contouring racing stripes, sparkling 3-D embellishments, and pretty little cap sleeves that feel modern, not '90s. Click through for the looks from its recent presentation — and commit the name to memory. RAOUL.

Pulmonary Embolism
|Pathway of Pulmonary Embolism
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
- Blood clot in a deep vein of a leg or the pelvis
- Increased levels of clotting factors in the blood
- Prolonged bed rest
- Major surgery, especially after pelvic surgery, knee replacement, or heart surgery
- Injury to a vein in a leg or the pelvis
- Fractures of the hip or thigh bone
- Certain blood disorders
- Prolonged sitting, such as during a long trip
- Pregnancy or postpartum period
- Smoking
- Obesity
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Autoimmune disorder, such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura, polyarteritis nodosa, or polymyositis
- Cancer
- Taking certain medications, such as birth control pills or antipsychotics
- Shortness of breath that starts suddenly for no obvious reason
- Chest pain, especially when breathing or coughing (it can mimic a heart attack)
- Feeling faint or lightheaded
- Cough, sometimes with bloody phlegm
- Rapid heartbeat
- Rapid breathing
- Anxiety
- Feeling of impending doom
- Arterial blood gas study—to check oxygen levels and lung function
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)—to assess the electrical activity of the heart
- D-Dimer blood test—to detect the presence of a clot
If you have a family history of blood clots, and had blood clots in the past for no apparent reason, your doctor may do additional blood tests. The tests will look for possible inherited defects in your clotting system, such as:
- Factor V Leiden mutation (seen in up to 40% of cases)
- Increased factor VIII
- Chest x-ray
- Lung perfusion scan
- CT scan of the chest
- Pulmonary angiogram
- MR angiography
- Echocardiography
Clot-Trapping Filter
- Eat a healthful diet that is low in saturated fat and rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
- Begin a safe exercise program with the advice of your doctor.
- Walk or move your legs to break up long periods of sitting.
- If you smoke, talk with your doctor on ways you can quit.
- Unless you are on a fluid-restricted diet, be sure to drink lots of water.
- Take medication if your doctor recommends it. Anticoagulant drugs are most commonly used.
- Wear elastic stockings if suggested by your doctor. They can help improve circulation in your legs.
- Walk or move your legs to break up long periods of sitting. If you are traveling, get up and walk every few hours.
