Obsessions are intrusive, irrational thoughtsunwanted ideas or impulses that repeatedly appear in a person's mind. Again and again, the person experiences disturbing thoughts, such as "My hands must be contaminated; I need to wash them"; "I may have left the gas stove on; I need to go check it fast"; "I am going to injure my child by accident; I need to be very careful or else something bad will happen." On one level, the person experiencing these thoughts knows their obsessions are irrational. But on another level, he or she fears these thoughts might be true. Trying to avoid such thoughts creates great anxiety, distress and dysfunction.
Compulsions are repetitive rituals such as hand washing, counting, checking, hoarding or arranging. An individual repeats these actions many times throughout the day and performing these actions releases anxiety, but only momentarily. People with OCD feel they must perform these compulsive rituals or something bad will happen to them or their loved ones.
Most people at one time or another experience obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors. Obsessive-compulsive disorder occurs when an individual experiences obsessions and compulsions for more than an hour each day, in a way that interferes with his or her life. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that more than 2 percent of the U.S. population, or nearly one out of every 40 people, will be diagnosed with OCD at some point in their lives. The disorder is two to three times more common than schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
OCD is often described as "a disease of doubt." Individuals living with OCD experience "pathological doubt" because they are unable to distinguish between what is possible, what is probable and what is unlikely to happen.
People from all walks of life can get OCD. It strikes people of all social and ethnic groups and both males and females. Symptoms typically begin during childhood, the teenage years or young adulthood. The sudden appearance of OCD symptoms later in life merits a thorough medical evaluation to ensure that another illness is not the cause of these symptoms.
People with OCD can often say "why" they have obsessive thoughts or "why" they behave compulsively, but the thoughts and the behavior continue. A large body of scientific evidence suggests that OCD results from a chemical imbalance in the brain. For years, mental health professionals incorrectly assumed OCD resulted from bad parenting or personality defects. This theory has been disproven over the last few decades. People whose brains are injured sometimes develop OCD, which suggests it is a medical condition. If a placebo pill is given to people who are depressed or who experience panic attacks, nearly 40 percent will say they feel better. If a placebo is given to people who experience obsessive-compulsive disorder, only about two percent say they feel better. This also suggests that OCD is a biological condition as opposed to a "personality problem."
Genetics are thought to be very important in OCD. If you, or your parent or sibling, have OCD, there's close to a 25 percent chance that another of your immediate family members will have it.
OCD has been found to be connected with dysfunction in certain parts of the brain, specifically the basal ganglia and the frontal lobes. Inappropriate functioning of these regions in the brain can cause the repetitive movements and rigid thinking that effects people with OCD. Successful treatment with medication or behavior therapy changes the activity in these brain regions, which decreases the symptoms of OCD. Two specific chemicals in the braina neurotransmitter called serotonin and a hormone called vasopressinhave also be studied by scientists who have found a link between these chemicals and OCD. Researchers believe OCD, anxiety disorders, Tourette's and eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia, can be triggered by some of the same chemical changes in the brain.
A world-renowned expert, Judith Rapoport M.D., describes OCD by writing, "something in the brain is stuck, like a broken record."
People with OCD generally attempt to hide their problem rather than seek help. Often they are remarkably successful in concealing their obsessive-compulsive symptoms from friends and co-workers. An unfortunate consequence of this secrecy is that people with OCD generally do not receive professional help until years after the onset of their disease when symptoms have become too severe to control. By that time, the obsessive-compulsive rituals may be deeply ingrained and very difficult to change.
OCD usually starts at an early age, often before adolescence. It may be mistaken at first for autism, pervasive developmental disorder or Tourette's syndrome: a disorder that may include obsessive doubting and compulsive touching as symptoms.
Like depression, OCD tends to worsen as the person grows older, if left untreated. Scientists hope, however, that when the OCD is treated while the person is still young, the symptoms will not get worse with time.
People who do the following may have OCD:
Not nearly commonly enough. OCD is often misdiagnosed, and it is often underdiagnosed. Many people have dual disorders of OCD and schizophrenia, or OCD and bipolar disorder, but the OCD part of their illness is not diagnosed or treated. In children, parents (and teachers and doctors) often are aware of some anxiety or depression but not of the underlying OCD.
OCD will not go away by itself, so it is important to seek treatment. Although symptoms may become less severe from time to time, OCD is a chronic disease. Fortunately, effective treatments are available that make life with OCD much easier to manage. OCD symptoms are not cured by talking about them and "trying to make it go away." With medication and behavior therapy, OCD can be treated effectively. Both medications and behavioral therapy affect brain chemistry, which in turn affects behavior. Doctors are also increasingly aware of the role that regular exercise, getting enough sleep, and a healthy diet have in the treatment of OCD. If a person with OCD can live a healthy lifestyle and receive effective treatment of any other medical conditions they might have, it is likely that their OCD symptoms will improve.
Medication can regulate certain chemicals in the brainincluding serotoninreducing obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
Many of the antidepressant medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been proven to be effective in treating the symptoms associated with OCD. The SSRIs most commonly prescribed for OCD are fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), fluoxetine(Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa), and escitalopram (Lexapro). Clomipramine (Anafranil) and venlafaxine (Effexor) are other antidepressants from different medication classes that are often used to treat OCD.
The most common side effects associated with these medications are upset stomach (including nausea, constipation, diarrhea and vomiting), problems sleeping (both insomnia and excessive sleepiness), dizziness and headache. Some people experience sexual side-effects including problems with maintaining an erection or difficulty having an orgasm. It should also be noted that the FDA (The United States Food and Drug Administration) has placed a "Black Box Warning" on all of these medications suggesting that there may be an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in people taking these medications. That is why all people who are thinking of taking medications should have a thorough discussion with their doctors prior to starting any medication in order to fully understand the benefits and risks of beginning a new treatment.
Some physicians make the mistake of prescribing an antidepressant medication for only three or four weeks before judging that it's working or not. That simply isn't long enough. Medication should be tried consistently for 10 to 12 weeks before its effectiveness can be judged.
Other medications are often prescribed to help treat severe symptoms of OCD. Of these additional medications, some of the most frequently prescribed include antipsychotic medications such as risperidone (Risperdal) and haloperidol (Haldol). Other medications have also been tried in people with OCD but their effectiveness and safety have not been studied as thoroughly as some of the medications mentioned in this article.
About one-half of people who are treated with medications will have a positive response to treatment. It is often recommended that people who experience a positive response to treatment with medications will continue this treatment for up to 1-2 years even after their symptoms improve. This is something that should be discussed with each individual's physician.
Behavior therapy is not traditional psychotherapy. It is often called Cognitive-Behavior Therapy or "Exposure and Response Prevention," and it is highly effective for many people with OCD. People with OCD are deliberately exposed to a feared object or thought, either directly or by imagination, and are then discouraged or prevented from carrying out the usual compulsive response. For example, a compulsive hand-washer may be urged to touch an object he or she believes is contaminated and denied the opportunity to wash for several hours. This helps people to become accustomed to dealing with an uncomfortable situation and to learn how to decrease the associated anxiety. When the treatment works well, the person gradually experiences less anxiety from the obsessive thoughts and becomes able to refrain from the compulsive actions for extended periods of time.
About one-half of the people with this disorder who receive behavioral therapy improve substantially; the rest improve moderately.
Response to treatment varies from person to person. Several studies suggest that medication and behavior therapy are equally effective in alleviating symptoms of OCD. Furthermore, the combination of medications and therapy has been found in many cases to be superior to either treatment on its own.
A small percentage of people with OCD find that neither medication nor behavioral treatment produces any significant change. Most people who receive effective treatments find their symptoms reduced by about 40 percent to 50 percent. That can often be enough to change their lives, to transform them into individuals who can go back to school, work and their families. Another percentage of people are fortunate to have a complete remission of their symptoms when treated with effective medication and/or behavior therapy.

Recipe by Ghirardelli®
"Indulge your chocolate craving with these dark chocolate mocha cupcakes topped with rich and creamy semi-sweet chocolate frosting."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/8 cups
all-purpose flour
1/4 cup
Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa
1 1/4 teaspoons
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon
large egg
1/2 cup
firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup
granulated white sugar
1/2 cup
whole milk plus
2 tablespoons
whole milk
1/3 cup
strong brewed coffee or espresso
1/2 cup
unsalted butter, melted
6 ounces
Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate baking bar, broken or chopped into 1-inch pieces
3/4 cup
heavy cream
3 tablespoons
unsalted butter
1 cup
Ghirardelli Milk or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
These were amazingly awesome. I wasn't sure what to expect based on the previous reviews. Some people said they were dense, but mine came out quite fluffy. After I baked them, they didn't look as nice as a cake mix cupcake would, but I piped my icing onto the tops and they were fantastic. I used special dark chocolate cocoa powder. I look forward to making these again soon.
The first time I made this, I made it to the T. For being a dark chocolate cupcake, I didn't get it. It didn't have much of a chocolate taste. My friends loved it, but for me it wasn't all that. However, the second time I made it, I did add two more tablespoons of cocoa to make it chocolaty. A tip: if you use instant coffee such as nescafe, put in 2 tbsp of instant coffee to a little more than 1/3 cup of water and let it steam, not boil. Stir and measure out 1/3 cup and let cool. The coffee really brings out the richness and taste of the cocoa. I also recommend not to add the baking soda to the dry ingredients. I always add into the wet ingredients just before adding the dry ingredients to let the baking soda do its job properly. I hope that helps! :)

Tastes great and the recipe baked super for cupcakes, no muffin tops spilled out all over my bake ware! I topped with buttercream. YUM!
Excellent cupcake recipe. It is nice and dense and not too sweet so it is perfect for loading with lots of frosting. Make sure you get the oven temperature right and measure accurately other wise they don't firm up as they should.
I didn't use coffee and I made a different frosting, but this cupcake recipe was okay at best. The cupcakes were very crumbly and spread over the top of the cupcake pan (instead of rising). Next time, I would go with a boxed cake mix over this recipe.
Excellent recipe! I didn't have whole milk - used 1%, and I just used my regular brewed coffee...which isn't terribly strong, and these still turned out fantastic! I didn't try the icing as I didn't have whipping cream, but topped them with cream cheese frosting. They were to die for! Almost everyone had seconds!
I was really hopeful about this recipe due to the great reviews. I'm not sure why my cupcakes turned out as a big FAIL when others didn't. The only thing I changed was to double the recipe. The cupcakes were flat and spilled over. The worst part, however, was that you couldn't even pick them up without them losing their shape and squishing together. I ended up only making 12 and then trying to bake the rest as a small cake. I wouldn't have been so frustrated if they had at least been awesome in taste, but I thought they were a little bland...
Great recipe. These turned out fantastic. Followed the recipe exactly which was easy and quick. I topped them with vanilla buttercream frosting but will try this frosting next time.

Many of its activities are career-oriented. Speakers, often Le Moyne graduates, address student concerns regarding careers and preparation for employment. The club sponsors student attendance at professional conferences. And finally, club members organize social activities for students and faculty to meet in a relaxed setting. Alpha Kappa Delta Alpha Kappa Delta (AKD) is the national honor society for sociology. The purpose of Alpha Kappa Delta is to recognize outstanding work by undergraduate students majoring in sociology who are in their junior or senior year and to provide a medium — the refereed journal Sociological Inquiry — through which scholarly work in sociology can be communicated to the scientific community. Alpha Kappa Delta sponsors an annual undergraduate paper competition and provides funds for student research projects and symposia.

Lake Champlain Sunset
I guess it is water vapor in the air over Lake Champlain that creates the sunsets seen there frequently (one more thing I should look up someday). We often suggest to our guests a short trip to Burlington because it is such an interesting city, has much to see and do, good restaurants, and a nice lakefront park from which to watch the sunset. Every evening in nice weather, you will see people coming to the park and finding a bench to watch.
Pictured above is today's photo from one of my favorite Vermont blogs, Megapickles. There is a text link to it in the left column of this blog too. Another good sunset photograph called Burlington Harbor was posted August 18.
All the photos are excellent and a new one is added every day. The landscape photos are my favorites - see Jeffersonville Sept 23; Hay Bales August 9; Mt Abraham August 1.
I have taken a few snapshots over the years and I posted some on the Scrapbook page of my inn's web site. Not the same quality as Megapickles but interesting to look at.

Buccaneers swept by Georgia Southern in SoCon volleyball action
Sunday, October 05, 2003Johnson City, Tenn. (October 5, 2003) - Georgia Southern remained unbeaten in the Southern Conference after sweeping East Tennessee State in three games, 30-26, 31-29, and 30-24, Sunday afternoon in Brooks Gym. ETSU fell to 3-14 overall and 1-4 in the SoCon, while the Eagles improved to a perfect 3-0 league play and 8-8 on the season. "I thought we played very well against a talented Georgia Southern team," said Buccaneer head coach Lindsey Devine. "The team showed that they are starting to come together. It's a lot easier to play at home, because having the parents and fans here is a great motivational tool." Georgia Southern hit for a .415 clip in game one on 19 kills and just two errors. GSU enjoyed a comfortable 25-21 lead in game two, before the Buccaneers sparked a late rally. However, a kill by Martina Veiglova ultimately clinched the game for the visiting Eagles. Game three was just as tight, but a number of ETSU errors led to four unanswered points by the Eagles, as Georgia Southern handed the Bucs their first home loss of the season. "We cannot hesitate as much as we are, because the result is unforced errors," said Devine. "I attribute that to lack of experience and confidence. But I look back at the beginning of our season and we have come a long way." For the second time this weekend, ETSU was led by freshman Kelsey Sherich (Ogallala, Neb.), who tallied 14 kills. Sherich had just two attack errors for a hitting percentage of .364 and finished just one dig shy (9) of recording her second straight double-double. Junior Karen Freeburg (New Castle, Ind.) and senior Lissa Allen (Palm Bay, Fla.) added 11 and 10 kills, respectively, while senior Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) notched a season-high 15 digs to go along with three service aces. Sophomore Kristi Robinson. (Knoxville, Tenn.) once again led the Buccaneers in assists with 42. Georgia Southern senior Erin Martin was the model of efficiency after batting down 14 kills and no errors, while racking up a .483 attack percentage. Veiglova added 13 kills to the winning effort. Both Martin and Veiglova recorded double-doubles with 10 digs apiece. Senior Megan Lippi led GSU with 13 digs followed by 12 digs by sophomore setter Susan Winkleman, who also tallied a team-high 20 assists and match-high five service aces. East Tennessee State will be back in action on Friday, Oct. 10, when the team travels to UNC Greensboro. The Buccaneers will then play at Elon on Saturday, Oct. 11. Friday's match versus the Spartans will begin at 7 p.m.

With 132 games in the books, we have crossed the midpoint of the 2012 NFL season. How has your team done? Where are they headed from here?
Let's review.
Midseason All-Pros | Biggest surprises | Contender or pretender?
Midseason All-Pros | Biggest surprises | Contender or pretender?
Midseason All-Pros | Biggest surprises | Contender or pretender?
1. New England Patriots (5-3)
Patriots are the first team since 1940 to have three losses by a combined four points through eight games of a season. No offense has scored more points or gained more yards and first downs. They are on a record streak of 17 straight regular season games with at least 350 yards of offense.
Known as a passing team with Tom Brady, the Patriots are second in rush attempts per game (34.5) and fourth in rushing yards per game (149.6). Bill Belichick's defense continues to play a bend-but-don't-break style, ranking 22nd in yards per game, 12th in points per game, and third in takeaways (20). They are 1-2 against teams with a winning record after losing to Baltimore and Seattle despite holding 13-point leads in each game.
The Patriots will be heavily tested in December when they host Houston and San Francisco in consecutive weeks, but remain a big favorite in the AFC East.
2. Miami Dolphins (4-4)
In a new era led by two rookies, coach Joe Philbin and quarterback Ryan Tannehill, the Dolphins have played very well after an opening-day disaster in Houston, going 4-3 since. However, they have not made the plays late to win games, losing each time by a field goal.
Philbin has gone from the high-flying offense in Green Bay to a passing attack with just six touchdown passes this season. Brian Hartline (41 receptions for 662 yards) has emerged as the top receiver, and Reggie Bush leads the ground game (534 yards). The defense had been one of the best in the AFC led by Cameron Wake's 8.5 sacks, but they allowed a record performance to Indianapolis' Andrew Luck in a big loss on Sunday.
With three games remaining against the Patriots and 49ers, it will be very difficult for the Dolphins to reach the postseason this year, but a second-place finish is still likely.
3. New York Jets (3-5)
After losing Darrelle Revis and Santonio Holmes for the season, the Jets have struggled against a tough first-half schedule. They have played seven consecutive teams .500 or better, going 2-5 in those games.
Mark Sanchez is completing a league-worst 52.9 percent of his passes, and backup/personal punt protector Tim Tebow would offer little help in that regard. He's a 47.5 percent career passer. While the pass defense has survived without Revis, the run defense is 29th in rushing yards per game, and 23rd in yards per carry.
The Jets are 3-8 in their last 11 games, and while the rest of the schedule may lighten up, Rex Ryan appears headed for his first losing season as head coach.
4. Buffalo Bills (3-5)
Despite the high-priced signing of free agent Mario Williams to team up with Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus, the Buffalo defense has been one of the biggest disappointments of the season.
It started in Week 1 when the Jets were able to score 34 offensive points. After wins vs. lowly Kansas City and Cleveland, Buffalo allowed 45 points in the second half alone to New England. A week later the 49ers became the first team in NFL history to rush and pass for over 300 yards each in a 45-3 rout. Tennessee went into Buffalo and scored five touchdowns with Chris Johnson rushing for 195 yards.
Run defense has always been a problem for Buffalo, but it's never been this bad. It even offsets the strong rushing performance of the offense, with Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller leading the team to the third best yard-per-carry average in the league (5.3). Of course, Ryan Fitzpatrick has not played well enough to take advantage of it. Chan Gailey is 13-27 (.325) in Buffalo, so look for changes to be made.
1. Baltimore Ravens (6-2)
It is strange to see the Baltimore offense rank higher than their defense, but that is the case this season. The "high-flying offense" with Joe Flacco has calmed down the last four games, while the defense finally held an opponent under 300 yards for the first time this season (Cleveland had 290 yards in Week 9). That is something they did nine times in 2011.
Of course it is harder when Terrell Suggs only recently returned, and Ray Lewis and Lardarius Webb have been lost for the season. But even before injuries Baltimore was struggling, allowing over 200 yards rushing in consecutive games for the first time in franchise history.
The 6-2 record is big in the AFC, but the Ravens have several tough games remaining and will have to take care of Pittsburgh to win the division for the second straight season.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-3)
Coming into Week 9, the Steelers' offense had the fewest possessions (69) this season, while the defense faced the fewest drives (66). New offensive coordinator Todd Haley has taken a lot of risk out of the offense, putting a premium on third-down conversions, which the Steelers are the best in the league at, converting 51.3 percent of the time.
Ben Roethlisberger has a career-best sack percentage of 5.4 percent, and has thrown 16 touchdowns to four interceptions with a 101.1 passer rating. The Steelers were only 2-3 after blowing the fourth-quarter lead in four games, but have put together an impressive three-game winning streak to get back into contention.
They will play Baltimore in Weeks 11 and 13, which should ultimately decide who wins the AFC North. The good news is they should be able to get players like Troy Polamalu, Rashard Mendenhall and David DeCastro back from injury.
3. Cincinnati Bengals (3-5)
The Bengals were 3-1 to start the season, but their wins came against teams with a combined 6-20 record. They have lost four straight, and have yet to beat a quality opponent since Andy Dalton became the starting quarterback last season.
Dalton has regressed some in recent weeks, even though sophomore receiver A.J. Green has played like a superstar with 51 receptions for 735 yards and eight touchdowns. BenJarvus Green-Ellis has not provided a strong running game, averaging 3.4 yards per carry and suffering the first three fumbles of his career. The offense is 31st on third down. The defense has regressed from last season, ranking 20th or worse in most major categories. They have allowed a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter of three straight games.
With several tough games remaining, this looks like a losing season in progress for the Bengals.
4. Cleveland Browns (2-7)
Despite their 2-7 record, the Browns have been competitive in every game this season. The 29-year-old rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden has had the most growing pains of all the rookie QBs starting this year, though it may just be due to the fact that he is the worst player of the group.
Cleveland has tried to help him with fellow rookies like running back Trent Richardson and wide receiver Josh Gordon, but it has still produced one of the worst offenses in the league. The defense has not been much better, putting Pat Shurmur (6-19) on the hot seat with new ownership in town.

1. Houston Texans (7-1)
Houston owns the second-best scoring differential in the league (+100). It held at least a 20-point lead in each of the first four games this season, becoming the fourth team in NFL history to do so. The Texans demolished the Ravens 43-13 in an AFC showdown in Week 7. They can throw it off play action with the best of them, they run the ball well, they have a league-low six giveaways, and the defense is ridiculously active, led by Defensive Player of the Year candidate J.J. Watt.
But what's the eyesore for the Texans? It is that 42-24 rout the Packers put on them in Houston in front of a national audience.
Now the Texans get their next chance with a road game in Chicago against the best defense in the league. It is important they win a game like this or the one in New England (Week 14) if fans are to take the team seriously as the Super Bowl favorite out of the AFC.

2. Indianapolis Colts (5-3)
Perhaps the surprise team of 2012, the Colts have already more than doubled their 2-14 result from last year, and with a rookie quarterback and interim coach to boot.
But Andrew Luck is no ordinary rookie, as he is on pace to pass for 4,808 yards. He just threw for a record 433 in a win over Miami, which was his fourth game-winning drive in eight games; another NFL record for a rookie. He's not doing it alone as Reggie Wayne leads the league with 835 receiving yards.
This is still a young team, but they are 4-1 since the news of Chuck Pagano's leukemia diagnosis, and they are fighting as the underdog each week. If the defense can start getting takeaways (they have a record-low three through eight games), then that will take some pressure off Luck and improve their scoring.
But right now, it's a three-game winning streak and a game in Jacksonville on Thursday night is enticing to make it four straight for the team everyone expected was a few years away from winning again.
3. Tennessee Titans (3-6)
The Titans were an enigma last season, but this year is pretty clear. The defense is historically terrible. By allowing 308 points, that is tied for the sixth most through nine games in NFL history. Three of the teams ahead of them were in their first season in the NFL, and two of those teams did not return for a second (1950 Baltimore Colts, 1952 Dallas Texans). Quarterbacks are completing 72.2 percent of their passes against the Titans, who have a 108.4 defensive passer rating (worst in the league).
They have three wins, all fourth-quarter comebacks, including an upset of Pittsburgh and a wild overtime win over Detroit where they set a record with five touchdowns of 60 or more yards. Matt Hasselbeck has replaced the injured Jake Locker and added some stability to the offense, but the defense is too much to overcome. Chicago, with a lot of help from their defense, just dropped 51 points, including 28 in the first quarter in Tennessee.
If things do not get better, this could be another quick hook for a head coach (Mike Munchak).
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-7)
Cecil Shorts giveth, and Cecil Shorts taketh. The second-year receiver has been the lone bright spot on the league's worst offense. Without his stunning 80-yard touchdown to beat the Colts, this team could be headed for a 0-16 season.
Though, Shorts did lose a fumble to set up a game-winning field goal in overtime for the Raiders. Shorts is still doubling up first-round rookie Justin Blackmon's production, who averages just 9.8 yards per catch. Blaine Gabbert is still one of the worst quarterbacks in the league whether he has Maurice Jones-Drew or not. When your offense has scored at least 24 points once in 24 games, it puts a lot of pressure on the defense to play well, which has not been the case this season.
This was supposed to be a year of improvement, but Jacksonville has gone backwards after a 5-11 season.
1. Denver Broncos (5-3)
Peyton Manning turning the team into the Denver Colts is complete. He has them already mastering the "games with limited possessions, highly-efficient offense, and a strong chance for fourth-quarter comebacks" formula from Indianapolis. Denver's never out of a game with Manning, and we have seen that numerous times this season, even if the deficit was 24 points. Manning is putting up some of the best stats of his career all across the board.
The Broncos have three comeback wins, and are one of only two teams to score at least 21 points in every game this season (Houston). Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker are on pace for big seasons, while Willis McGahee and Ronnie Hillman provide Manning with the best running game he's had since 2006. The offense keeps getting better, the defense has come along well, and the schedule only gets easier.
There is no reason Denver cannot win out from here.
2. San Diego Chargers (4-4)
The Chargers had their season going according to expectations. They won the games they should have, lost the games they should have.
But when they had a 24-0 lead at halftime on Denver in Week 6, that was a game they had to close to take control of the division. Instead the historic comeback or collapse depending on your viewpoint happened, and the Chargers did not recover even with a bye week, losing 7-6 in Cleveland.
A sweep of Kansas City has them sitting at 4-4, but with Philip Rivers still not looking like the old Rivers, a decaying set of skill position players, a suspect defense and Norv Turner, it is hard to see San Diego rallying for a return to the postseason. When they blew the 24-point lead, they blew their shot this season.
3. Oakland Raiders (3-5)
Al Davis is gone, but he's not forgotten. This is the story of . Darren McFadden with nagging injuries, and Carson Palmer throwing critical interceptions late in games. Sound familiar?
Palmer's had his moments with big comeback wins over Pittsburgh and Jacksonville, but he also has a lot of empty stats as he is on pace for 4,710 passing yards on a below-average scoring offense. The offense has to try and catch up with that defense, which has been brutal against the pass. They have also had two games in which teams rushed for over 260 yards as well.
Dennis Allen is a young coach who has yet to put his stamp on this team. It blends right in with the disappointment we have seen since the 2003 season.
4. Kansas City Chiefs (1-7)
Worst team in football. So much for the healthy returns of Jamaal Charles, Matt Cassel, Eric Berry and Tony Moeaki helping out Romeo Crennel this season.
Somehow the Chiefs have managed to go eight games without a single lead in regulation. Not even an opening-drive field goal to go up 3-0. All they have is a field goal in overtime to beat New Orleans, which despite the Saints' struggles, looks like the upset of the year given they trailed 24-6 (largest comeback in Chiefs' history).
Crennel has had to delegate defensive coordinator duties, but while the defense has been terrible, the offense is embarrassing. Kansas City already has 29 giveaways, which are the most through eight games since the 1997 Saints had 30. The Chiefs' turnover differential is -20. Only three teams since 1940 have managed to be at -21 through eight games, so there could be a record brewing there.
The NFL Network had a great stat last week that Kansas City has not had a quarterback they drafted win a game for them since 1987 (Todd Blackledge). The Chiefs started Tyler Palko last year and Brady Quinn this season. Why not some Ricky Stanzi in the second half this season? It would be hard for the season to get any worse than it has been.

1. New York Giants (6-3)
The Giants started 5-2 or better for the NFL record-tying ninth straight season. Eli Manning has led three more fourth-quarter comeback wins after seven last season, giving him 24 for his career; the most by any quarterback through nine seasons in NFL history. Though Manning already has 2,426 yards passing, he only has 12 touchdowns, including just two in his last four games.
Defensively, the Giants rank 25th in yards per game, but rank 10th in points per game with 26 takeaways (second most in NFL). Their 25 sacks are tied for third most. Every season the Giants usually go on a slump in November, and they just lost to Pittsburgh after a rough week with Hurricane Sandy.
The schedule will be getting tougher, but the Giants have a solid lead in the division and in a one-and-done playoff game, few teams are more feared.

2. Philadelphia Eagles (3-5)
Turnovers will kill you, and the Eagles have 19, giving them a -9 turnover differential on the season. After starting 3-1 with the wins by a combined four points, the Eagles have lost four straight, putting the future of Andy Reid and Michael Vick in Philadelphia in jeopardy.
They barely scraped by for those close victories, lost two such games, and have now been outclassed by the Falcons and Saints the last two weeks. Defensive coordinator Juan Castillo was fired, but the defense has hardly performed any better with their lack of takeaways and sacks.
The Eagles have failed to score more than 24 points in any game this season, which is the longest streak for the team since the 2005 season. That was the last time Philadelphia finished with a losing record (6-10), and this could be the end of the road for Reid's tenure after 14 seasons.
3. Dallas Cowboys (3-5)
Dallas is third in the division, but first in drama. After upsetting the Giants in New York on opening night, the Cowboys are just 2-5 since that strong performance. Tony Romo is usually a lock for a mid-90's passer rating, but this season he has 10 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and an 82.2 passer rating.
Dallas' problems are not finishing drives on both sides of the ball. The offense ranks sixth in yards, but 26th in points. The defense ranks fifth in yards, but 18th in points. The coaching and play-calling has been very suspect late in close games against Baltimore and the Giants, while the defense could not get off the field quick enough against undefeated Atlanta in what was a winnable game.
A 3-5 hole is a tough one to climb out of in the NFC, but the Steelers are the only team with a winning record left on the schedule. For Dallas to recover, it has to start in Week 10, or else Jason Garrett may be hitting the unemployment line.
4. Washington Redskins (3-6)
The excitement has been provided from rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III. He has completed 65.6 percent of his passes with a 93.9 passer rating. Griffin may only have eight touchdown passes, but he has six rushing scores and 529 yards rushing, which is the fifth-highest rushing total through nine games by a quarterback in NFL history.
But the offense has been grounded the last three weeks during a losing streak where they have struggled with turnovers (Giants), dropped passes (Steelers), and in the red zone (Panthers). Washington is last in the league on third down, converting 28.6 of their plays. The defense has struggled all season, allowing a gross of 325.6 passing yards per game, and four game-winning drives against a unit missing Brian Orakpo, Adam Carriker, and with London Fletcher playing hurt.
Mike Shanahan may get a pass for what they have done with Griffin and all the injuries on both sides of the ball, but with a 14-26 (.350) record in three seasons, he could find himself on the hot seat should the losses continue. Five of the last seven games for Washington are against the NFC East.
1. Chicago Bears (7-1)
This is the best defense in football. They may not officially be No. 1 in points allowed, but when you factor in Chicago's ability to score on defense, then there is no comparison.
Chicago has allowed 120 points, but only 104 should be charged to the defense, which has scored an incredible 48 points. That is a net of 56 points allowed, or 7.0 points per game. That does not even include a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. Chicago's seven interceptions returned for touchdowns are a NFL record for eight games of a season.
Oh, and the offense has been solid as well with Jay Cutler reuniting with Brandon Marshall. They also do well on special teams annually. About the only thing this team does poorly is play in Green Bay, and that's mostly on Cutler.
For now, the Bears are one of the elite teams this season and do not have to worry about playing in Green Bay as long as they win the division.

2. Green Bay Packers (6-3)
It was a surprising 2-3 start with Green Bay's offense not looking so elite, but things have turned around with a four-game winning streak in which Aaron Rodgers has thrown 15 touchdowns to one interception.
The defense is improved from last season, but Green Bay's not getting all the takeaways they used to. The team has battled injuries in recent weeks to some of their big-name players, but they have a bye week to improve their health.
Road games in Detroit and New York (Giants) will offer better gauges of where the Packers are than the last few weeks have. They also have their second big meeting with Chicago in Week 15. Last year the Packers ran out of steam for the playoffs, but this year they have the chance to get stronger later in the season.
3. Minnesota Vikings (5-4)
The Vikings had one of the great upsets of the season when they handled San Francisco 24-13 in Week 3, but in the last four weeks (1-3) they have looked more like the team we expected. Adrian Peterson has returned phenomenally from his torn ACL injury, leading the league in rushing with 957 yards. Percy Harvin has had a great all-purpose season, but is dealing with an ankle injury.
The defense has improved after last season's disastrous performance, but they are still not in the top 10.
The team's biggest problem is Christian Ponder, who actually started the season completing 68.2 percent of his passes. But in the last three weeks Ponder has completed 51.4 percent, and was held to 58 and 63 yards in two of the games. This should never happen in 1982, let alone 2012. Ponder's downward spiral mixed with a brutal schedule - they have yet to play Chicago, Green Bay and Houston - likely means a top 10 draft pick for the Vikings.
4. Detroit Lions (4-4)
The Lions are 9-11 since their 5-0 start last season. With their first three wins requiring fourth-quarter comebacks from Matthew Stafford, the Lions finally had an easy win in Week 9, albeit the opponent was Jacksonville. After throwing 41 touchdowns last season, Stafford has eight this year, and none have been to Calvin Johnson, even though he has 48 catches for 767 yards.
The Lions have been slow starters, scoring 104 points in the fourth quarter, which is the second most in NFL history through eight games (2002 Chiefs scored 109 points). The defense is seventh in yards per game allowed, but just 22nd in points per game.
The schedule is tough, they have to leapfrog from last place, but the offense should always give them a chance to come back against anyone. Detroit's best players just have to play more consistently for them.

1. Atlanta Falcons (8-0)
Atlanta is the 25th team to start 8-0 since 1940. Matt Ryan has led four game-winning drives, including two which started in the final minute of the fourth quarter (Carolina, Oakland). His 20 game-winning drives are the most through a player's first five seasons in NFL history.
The Falcons has been a great team at closing under Mike Smith. They have only allowed three fourth-quarter comebacks since 2008. With Julio Jones in his second season, it gives Ryan a third great option with Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez to raise his game to a next level as he is a strong MVP candidate. The defense is not a shutdown unit, but they limit points (No. 5) and make big plays (17 takeaways).
Can they go 16-0? The Saints are always tough for Atlanta, and hosting the Giants (Week 15) will be a challenge. Other than that, it is very possible. But ultimately this team will be judged on the postseason, where they are 0-3 in this era. Still, they are doing all they can right now to best position themselves for that deep run. It is easy to see this is the best team Smith has had yet, and they will become a bigger story the longer they stay undefeated.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-4)
After a 10-game losing streak to end 2011, this was supposed to be a rebound year for Josh Freeman and the young Buccaneers in Greg Schiano's NFL debut as coach. They ended the losing streak right away, but after allowing 510 yards to Eli Manning in a loss in Week 2, the Buccaneers were known for their aggressive defense on a kneel down at the end of the game. That started a three-game losing streak, making the Bucs afterthoughts.
But they have won three of four, Freeman has 11 touchdowns to one interception, and rookie Doug Martin has just gained 486 yards from scrimmage the last two weeks, setting a rookie record. The offense actually ranks fourth in the league in scoring as Vincent Jackson has been a big help to Freeman. They need to pick up the pace for the defense, who at least does have 17 takeaways.
Tampa Bay's an interesting 4-4 team, but let's keep in mind their best win was at Minnesota in Week 8. Can they beat a San Diego, Atlanta (twice), Denver, or split with the Saints? We will find out, because those games are coming up.
3. New Orleans Saints (3-5)
Of all the teams with a losing record right now, the Saints are the one you would pick as the most likely to make a run for the playoffs. That is largely due to having Drew Brees, one of the best quarterbacks. That was the same reason the Saints were expected to make the playoffs regardless of Sean Payton's suspension for Bountygate, but things did not start well.
Brees still put up numbers, though he makes more mistakes than usual without his brain-trust around. The defense is the only in NFL history to allow over 420 yards in all eight games to start a season. Holding Philadelphia to 13 points was big, as it was the first time all season someone scored fewer than 24 against New Orleans.
With Brees and all of his talented skill players, Joe Vitt being an improvement over Aaron Kromer as interim coach, the Saints may still have a shot at doing something this season. Two games against undefeated Atlanta, who they always play well, will really be the test as the Saints cannot afford any more than two losses the rest of the season. They also host San Francisco, who ended their season in the playoffs.
4. Carolina Panthers (2-6)
While everyone points to a sophomore slump for Cam Newton, the truth is his play this season has been a lot like his rookie season. The perception for how good he was last year was overblown, and more of the reality is coming out this year as Carolina continues to lose under Newton and coach Ron Rivera.
The big difference for Carolina has been a lack of scoring this season, as the offense has actually fallen behind the defense. But whether it is 31-27 or 13-9 late in the game, the offense's task is the same. Carolina's problem is they fail to finish the close games at a historic level.
Newton is 1-13 (.071) in games where he has the ball in the fourth quarter and the game is tied or Carolina trails by 1-8 points. That's the worst observed record in NFL history (min. 12 games). They have lost 11 straight such games, and it's always something that comes up and bites them in the end.
Newton has said he's tired of the same script, but all Carolina can do is start blowing teams out, which they just are not talented enough to do on a consistent basis. They have to learn how to close first, then the wins will start coming.
1. San Francisco 49ers (6-2)
With expectations of a Super Bowl, the 49ers are right about on track with a 6-2 record. But are they really better than last season's team?
Alex Smith, for the most part, is having a better season with some contributions from new additions Randy Moss and Mario Manningham. The running game is the league's best; ranked first in yards and yards per carry. The defense is still great (league-best 12.9 points per game).
But the 49ers have had their two worst performances of the Jim Harbaugh era with a 24-13 loss in Minnesota, and a stunning 26-3 defeat at home against the Giants. Last season the 49ers had a lead or tie in the fourth quarter of all 18 games they played. This season they have either led considerably or trailed by two scores in the fourth quarter.
Their two remaining big tests in the regular season will be Chicago (Week 11) and at New England (Week 15). Those games must go better than the loss to New York should the 49ers be considered a serious Super Bowl contender.
2. Seattle Seahawks (5-4)
Pete Carroll's bunch may be young and cocky, but they back it up with sound play on both sides of the ball. The offense has been a bit vanilla with Russell Wilson, but the rookie has been a good vertical passer and already has 13 touchdown passes, including two game-winning drives.
Marshawn Lynch is having the best season of his career with 881 rushing yards. Seattle runs the ball on 53.8 percent of their plays. The young secondary is most impressive with Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner all drawing attention this season. Seattle is 4-0 at home, but just 1-4 on the road, including three losses in close games in the division.
They can make the playoffs just by protecting home-field, but they need to prove they can win road games before buying into this team.
3. Arizona Cardinals (4-5)
Was this team really 4-0 at one point? Whether it is Kevin Kolb or John Skelton at quarterback (both have been injured), the results are pretty much the same: sacks, sacks, and more sacks. The two have already gone down 39 times in half a season. Arizona boasts the worst offensive line and running offense in the game, so it's a bad recipe for the quarterbacks to drop back so often, but that is the offense Ken Whisenhunt runs.
Going back to last year the team had been on an improbable run of late-game wins, but while that continued early into this season, the last three weeks have not been close enough late in the game for Arizona to pull off an upset. Andre Roberts has shined alongside Larry Fitzgerald this season, but so often we are used to seeing the Arizona quarterbacks on their back before they can get the ball to their playmakers. The schedule consists of several stingy defenses too, so things are not likely to get better any time soon.
4. St. Louis Rams (3-5)
When the Rams beat Arizona to move to 3-2, it ended a 71-month streak of not being over .500. But since that point, the team has lost three straight, including blowouts at the hands of Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady destroying the under-matched defense. The addition of Cortland Finnegan can only do so much, and rookie Janoris Jenkins has been struggling.
Sam Bradford continues to underwhelm, but it has been an improvement over a dreadful 2011. He has been missing injured receiver Danny Amendola who was on pace for a great season. The best prospects for the Rams look like a 7-9 season, but this is year one of Jeff Fisher's plan, though he must realize improvement has to be continuously shown. One thing the Rams love is rookie kicker Greg Zuerlein, who has made 17 of 20 attempts and shown incredible range from long distance.
Yeah, we end on a kicker, though 2012 has been a historic season for them too. Kickers league-wide have made 86.3 percent of their field goals. The single-season record is 84.5 percent (2008).
That is just one of the many things to keep an eye on in the second half of the season.

That's the acid test for every writer: four words.
If somebody in line with you for the Largest Latte Known to Man asks what you're working on, can you explain it in four words?
How about eight words?
Because if you can't, you're not really done.
And I don't care that you've spent the last seven years locked away in a French monastery, slaving away 25 hours a day, eight days a week to perfect (a) The Great American Novel, Even Though It Was Written in France, (b) the movie script that will turn Hollywood on its ear and stop it from spending $250 million apiece on Michael Bay explosion-fests involving robots that transform into cars or whatever or (c) a punk-rock masterpiece with song after song with lyrics so beautiful, and rebelliously ugly, that anyone who listens to it quits working for The Man and buys an electric Fender so they can learn the only three chords you need to know to become AN INSANE ROCK GOD.
So let's get down to it. If you haven't already, read these posts to get all educated and such, even though it is technically cheating — because today, there is a quiz.

Not to confuse you more, BUT, Miller has a contractor kit. I'm not sure if the foot pedal connection will match the CST 280. You just gotta price everything out to see what works best. Just thought I would torture you more.

It does have the HD footpedal I was originally looking for.
I'm not sure about using the 150A WP17v tig torch since it is only rated for 150A and I will have a 200A welder. I'm not really sure what uses I will find for the tig once I start learning how to use it
My main uses for tig starting out will be welding stuff like 1/8", 14ga, 11ga.
Not sure if that helps with determining how much amperage I will need on the tig torch.
Also I'm not sure which is better, the flowgauge
or a flowmeter with the bubble.
I thought the flowmeter with the bubble was the proper way to measure flow? I am clueless on the meter differences, advantages and tradeoffs.

The flowmeter with the gauge is measuring pressure, then assuming how much flow you'd get from that pressure through a orifice. Since it's actually measuring pressure, it can show "flow" when there isn't any.
The ball-type is really measuring flow.
I have the first two links you posted (or ones that look very similar). Both of them will do the job. Given that the ball-type one is more desireable (in my opinion) and it's cheaper anywyay, it's a no-brainer. The last link looks like a nicer one, but you have to pay for it.
If you want to do tig, then I think you'll be better off with the dense connectors. Either one will work with adapters, but most of the tig stuff I've seen is setup for dense. The tweco have a little more 'meat' in them, so they'll probably carry more current without heating up. Both of them are mechanically strong enough that I think they'll break the connector out of the machine before they break themselves. I run dense-to-tweco connectors on my dynasty when I do stick. I only do this because I already have lots of lead with tweco connectors.

Picked up a few things today.
Went to the PraxAir welding supply store (the only one open on Saturday) and bought 50ft of size #1 Direct Wire welding lead (25ft for ground / 25ft for electrode).
The cable says "Made in USA" on it so I figure it has to be as good if not better than the MUCH cheaper Radnor cable.
Bought a 200A Tweco electrode holder and a 300A Prostar ground clamp also.
Will probably buy the Dinse connectors from arc-zone since there they sell a set of black/Red for ground and electrode.
Also since I need a cart to put oxy/acet tanks on when I start renting them from AirGas, I found this wide dolley at harbor freight.
I had a 20% off coupon so that helped. With the width of this dolley, there will be very little to be modified to handle the 2 tanks.
Glad you got started spending some money.
Just wondering how that HF cart is ? Did you look at welding tank carts ?
I prefer the tank cart where the cylinders are in front of each other instead of side to side.

Went to WestAir and their carts, while better made with steel wheels had a starting price pushing $200. The guy there asked if it would be for industry or home shop use and said for home shop use he recommended just getting a HF hand truck and modifying it. He showed me their modified HF hand truck they used just for moving tanks. He said the carts they sale are more for OSHA regulations and that is why they were so expensive.
I already had 20ft of 2" strap in the shop so I already have the material I will need for modifying the HF hand truck.

In my parents shop they always had a cart like this.
I really like the steel wheels, but a little too pricey right now. I think the HF cart will suit my needs well for my little shop.
''BD1, I have never seen a cylinder cart with one in front of the other, that seems like a lot of leverage against you while lifting them.''
you would think so. Actually no difference from a standard cart. Seems odd but no problem.
we had some of those STEEL WHEEL carts at work. Great for outside work.

Rio +20 Comes into View: A Challenge and Opportunity for Industry
8:15 AM MDT | March 25, 2011 | Alex Scott in Brussels
Resource scarcity, renewable energy and energy efficiency, water, oceans, agriculture, and materials will be among the most important policy topics to be negotiated at next year's Rio +20 United Nations sustainability summit, says Timo Makela, director/ environment for the European Commission. All of the issues outlined by Makela have a direct connection to the well-being of the chemical industry, arguably making Rio 20+ the most important international meeting yet for the sector. Makela made his comments at a discussion with 33 other sustainability...

In fact, not many people really owned Crimson II, as they thought Crimson I has reached the peak and Crimson II was just another commercial option. Wrong to the core, Crimson II is The Best Edge of Sanity's studio album. Crimson II rectified all the weaknesses, omissions and mistakes in Crimson I.
Quote:....This is clearly a more keyboard driven album (the lack thereof in "I" should never be regarded as an omission or a mistake if you ask me) and as excellent as this is it doesn't quite live up to a unified entity like "I" was.

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
This traditional American carol turns to Song of Songs 2:3 for inspiration; it uses the familiar apple as a emblem of the very tree of life, emphasizing that the promise we have in Jesus goes beyond the merely material to encompass our complete shelter, nourishment, and passionate joy.
BioLogos has been following a sermon series by Pastor Tim Keller entitled The Bible: The Whole Story-Redemption and Restoration." The book of Romans masterfully addresses the solution to the issues raised in Genesis.
If the tape was rewound and evolution started over from scratch, Conway Morris says, the evolutionary details would be different, but the end result would be similar: a species characterized by intelligence and complex civilization.
In this essay, Godawa argues that the decreation language of a collapsing universe with falling stars and signs in the heavens was actually symbolic discourse about world-changing events and powers related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order." In this interpretation, predictions of the collapsing universe were figuratively fulfilled in the historic past of the first century.
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
Science and Religion scholar Denis Alexander presents two models for relating Adam and Eve with the findings of contemporary anthropology. This essay was presented at the November 2010 Theology of Celebration Workshop
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

Medford, Ore. -- Oregon's health care facilities reported more than 650 mistakes last year, 44 % of which ended in either serious harm or even death.
The new report issued by the Oregon Patient Safety Reporting Program says the "adverse events" include medication mix-ups, falls, infections, and erroneous surgeries.
It's the largest number of problems ever recorded in Oregon, but the Patient Safety Commission says that's likely because more facilities are voluntarily taking part in the study.
The program is designed to collect data on the mistakes and share that data so facilities can learn from each other's mistakes.
