Job Files: Balls and strikes
Minor League umpire Derek Crabill, on the home field of Connecticut's New Britain Rockcats, a AA team. Like players, umpires have to play at all four minor league levels. Unlike players, they generally spend several years in each. By the time he reaches the majors -- if he ever does -- Derek will have been umping for seven to ten years.
MARK AUSTIN THOMAS: Time once again for the Job Files. Baseball's spring training starts up this week and it's not just the players who dream of making it to the show.
DEREK CRABILL: My name's Derek Crabill. I'm an Eastern League umpire. This is my fourth year in minor league baseball, my first in AA.In the major leagues there are 68 umpires, roughly 220 of us in the minor leagues vying for those positions.
There have been several years in a row where no minor league umpire has gotten a full big league contract. On average I would say there's probably one umpire a year that gets a big league job.
The fans at the games, you know, I hear them. Most of the time I laugh because the fans don't know really what's going on down on the field. A lot of times they think there's an argument when it's the player and an umpire laughing.
The fans don't really bother me. The worst is when you know there's an evaluator sitting right behind you and you know you just missed that last pitch.

Talk:Offshore wind power
|WikiProject Energy
|(Rated B-class, Mid-importance)

Wind turbine inefficiency due to cloud-formation from upstream wind turbines[edit]
There is an intriguing photograph, and a discussion of some dynamic inefficiencies that may accrue to offshore wind farms, here: Wind Turbines Leave Clouds and Energy Inefficiency in Their Wake, 2010-01-22. I have not put any of this information into the WP article, but it may be appropriate to do so. Importantly, the linked magazine article provides a link to a more exhaustive reliable secondary source, a book, that might be good reading for any editor interested in the topic, and from which one could obtain verifiable citations for any new assertions added to the Offshore wind power article. Cheers. N2e (talk) 01:31, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
- A report was made about that photo : http://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/6/2/696/pdf
- Related links : 1, 2, 3, 4 . TGCP (talk) 20:13, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Section moved here for discussion[edit]
I'm moving the following section here because it is poorly sourced, poorly written, and adds little. Johnfos (talk) 00:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
Planning and permitting[edit]
Important elements:
- Siting (finding a site with i.e. good wind, proximity to onshore transmission capacity, favorable regulatory regime and the right conditions in terms of water depth, soil conditions etc.)
- Preliminary technical plan
- Environmental impact assessment
- Wind measurement
- Applications for various permits required by local authorities
- Communication with the public and stakeholders to ensure support for the plans
- Predictions of the yield of the plant
- Financial modelling
- Financing
In Denmark, many of these phases were deliberately streamlined by authorities in order to minimize hurdles.[1]
In many cases, planning and permitting is done by specialized project development companies that do not intend to own and operate the plant, and that do not have the financial resources to do so. In other cases it is undertaken by utilities or independent power providers ("IPPs").
The planning and permitting phase can cost >$10 million, take 5–7 years and have an uncertain outcome. The industry puts pressure on the governments to improve the processes[2][3], and some governments are responding by streamlining them (e.g., UK, Ontario).
Procurement and construction[edit]
The owner of the wind farm typically procures:
- Wind turbines
- Marine structural elements
- Foundations -- required for fixed-bottom turbines, but not for floating turbines.
- Electrical cables (within the farm and to onshore connection point)
- Offshore Transformer substation(s)
All these items have special requirements for and special challenges in the offshore environment. For instance, turbines are much less accessible when offshore (requiring the use of a service vessel for routine access, and a jackup rig for heavy service such as gearbox replacement), and thus reliability is more important than for an onshore turbine.[4]
Foundations transfer the loads from the turbine into the seabed. Major issues for offshore foundations include the need for special installation vessels and the resultant risk and costs of waiting for weather windows. Technology exists to install without use of offshore crane.[citation needed]
Operations and maintenance[edit]
After commissioning of the offshore wind farm, the operations and maintenance phase commences.
A control center uses weather forecasts to predict electricity generation and interfaces with the Transmission system operator to integrate the electricity into the grid. The control center also monitors and controls the individual turbines and other components of the plant.
A maintenance organization performs maintenance and repairs of the components, spending almost all its resources on the turbines. Access to turbines is by helicopter or service access vessel. Some wind farms located far from possible onshore bases have service teams living on site in offshore accommodation units.[5]
-- Johnfos (talk) 00:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- Removing this unsourced material is prudent, but please make the effort of retaining the SOURCED material, either here or in Wind farm. I believe that the removed section contains notable information particular to offshore wind farms (as well as onshore), as permitting and construction is challenging and remains a hurdle for the power supply of the world. This description of the year-long effort is not described elsewhere on WP. Sources for this process may cumbersome to obtain. TGCP (talk) 12:12, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
Missing any mention of the deep-water floating wind technology[edit]
The article is missing any mention of the deep-water floating wind turbine technology that has moved out of the labs, and small-scale tests, to large-scale (>2 MW) deep-water turbines now completing their second year of tests. This oversight should be, it seems to me, be remedied. I will try to get back here in the near future to fix this. N2e (talk) 18:43, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Minor point, but as the UK has more offshore wind power than the rest of the world combined, shouldn't the page image be of a UK offshore wind farm, like the London Array?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 23:05, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
- Pictures should be chosen for their informational quality, not volume, particularly for a subject in development and expansion such as this. But you do have a valid point, so please find or submit suitable pictures and we will take a look. The Lillgrund picture shows several desirable attributes such as scale, overview, background (landscape where the power is used) that other pictures lack. However, the Lillgrund photo lacks detail, but we can´t have it all (or can we?). Low altitude pictures lack the overview, and the other aerial photos lack landscape. This is a close second because it includes the transformer platform - if only it also had some land. TGCP (talk) 19:36, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

I like Violet better in general, but I like Adeline Daisy better as a combo. It's very sweet and youthful, but not cutesy, if that makes sense. I would love to meet a little Adeline Daisy--I've considered it myself! I think it could go either way as far as sounds go--Adeline Violet shares the strong "I" sound, but Adeline Daisy has the repetitive "D" sound. I think I would go with Adeline Daisy, and save Violet for a second daughter.Ashley

New York (11-13) at Los Angeles (20-3)
Because the Los Angeles Lakers have the second-best record in the NBA and the league's most prolific offense, it would be easy to assume that they don't have much room for improvement. Coach Phil Jackson, though, doesn't agree.
After failing to distinguish themselves in their most recent victory, Jackson's Lakers look to put together a more complete performance when they host the New York Knicks on Tuesday night.
Los Angeles (20-3) has won 13 of its last 15 games, and only defending NBA champion Boston has a better record at 23-2. The Lakers are scoring a league-high 108.0 points per game, and reached the century mark in 14 straight contests from Nov. 18-Dec. 12.
That streak ended with a 98-86 win over reeling Minnesota on Sunday night, after which Jackson had some critical words for his club.
"It could be," Jackson said when asked if his team was playing down to the level of its competition. "Our offense was pretty stagnant tonight. We're trying to find a combination out there that can give us better spacing.
"Right now, it doesn't seem like our quickness or our execution speed that I like is there. Sometimes the ball stays on one side of the court too long or we're just not executing."
The Lakers, who suffered a surprising loss to Sacramento last week, let the Timberwolves pull within six points with 7:43 left in Sunday's game before finally pulling away late in the period.
"We can't hold a lead. … That's awful," said sixth man Lamar Odom, averaging only 5.8 points in his last 10 games. "We want to play the same way all the time. That's what great teams do. It's only December, but we can play a lot better."
Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni knows his team has plenty of room for improvement as well after it fell 111-103 Monday night in D'Antoni's return to Phoenix, where he spent the previous four-plus seasons coaching the Suns before signing with the rebuilding Knicks in the offseason.
New York (11-13) has shown some promise under D'Antoni, ranking third in the league with 104.9 points per game in the coach's fast-paced offense. But the Knicks made only five of their franchise record-tying 37 3-point attempts Monday, falling to 2-2 on a season high-tying five-game road trip that ends Tuesday.
Despite New York's struggles from behind the arc, D'Antoni was encouraged by his team's performance.
"I love the way we played," he said. "We had opportunities to win. We didn't make our 3s obviously and we had to shoot a good percentage to beat these guys. But overall I'm really excited. I thought the way we played and how hard we played, it was a good measuring stick for us."
A road game against Los Angeles could be another good test for New York, which has lost four of its last five games against the Lakers at Staples Center, including a 120-109 defeat last season.
Reigning league MVP Kobe Bryant averaged 31.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists while shooting 49.0 percent (24-for-49) in the Lakers' two wins over the Knicks in 2007-08. However, he's shooting just 39.7 percent in his last six games.

Do you confront people?
by Wes McKane
posted May 14 2013 6:58AM
You get a VERY limited amount of space on a plane these days, and a lot of what happens on your flight relies on other people being polite. So what do you do if they're NOT?
A new survey asked people how confrontational they get in different uncomfortable situations on a plane. Here are the results . . .
If you're in the middle seat and the people on both sides hog the armrests, 28% would confront them.
If the person in front of you reclines their seat so far back that you can't open your laptop or put down your tray table, 55% would confront them.
If the person in front of you leaves their seat reclined for takeoff or landing, 13% would confront them.
If someone had a screaming child and WASN'T trying to get them to STOP, 8% would confront them.
And finally, if you're sitting next to someone who wants to talk the entire flight, 12% would actually talk the whole time . . . 10% would tell them to stop talking . . . and everyone else would put on headphones or pretend to sleep.

Two injured in West Jordan collision
Published March 11, 2011 8:19 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2011, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
A man and woman were hospitalized after their car turned in front of a pickup Friday evening at 7800 South and Utah Route 111 in West Jordan.
The woman was driving a small passenger car south on U111 and attempted to turn left onto 7800 South. She turned in front of a full-size pickup, which T-boned the car, said West Jordan police Sgt. Rich Bell. The male passenger in the car took the brunt of the impact and was pinned inside the vehicle. Rescue crews extracted him and he was flown to an area hospital. The driver was taken in an ambulance. None of the injuries was considered life-threatening, Bell said. No one in the pickup was injured. The crash was still under investigation.

BRAVE: Pixar's Pagan Princess is Perfect Pleasure
Honestly, I wasn't expecting to like this very much. The fact that this free-spirited spitfire had to be a "princess" in order to appeal to audiences really rubbed me the wrong way. There is way too much "princess" branding aimed at little girls these days, and it's annoying.

'Ritual' Mutilation in Mexico Inspires Sensationalistic Headlines

THE WICKER TREE: Not a sequel, nor a remake, but a grab bag of vibes and moments
Perhaps few films in recent years have been the subjects of more anticipation than Robin Hardy's THE WICKER TREE. The director (who helmed the cult horror classic THE WICKER MAN, now nearly four decades old) struggled for several years to obtain sufficient funding, and rejected several previous working titles (COWBOYS FOR CHRIST, THE MAY QUEEN and THE RIDING OF THE LADDIE) before settling on the one that conjured at least a ghost of the original. And though there are similarities, the title may … [Read more...]
"Satanic" Mutilations of Horses

Cult Occult Films…Occult Films About Cults? Occult Films with Cult Followings? (Head Explodes)
From the excellent website and blog AV Club, I found a thoughtful review of a little-known and seldom seen 1972 film by George Romero called Season of the Witch (also known as Hungry Wives). AV Club's Keith Phipps says, "It's loaded with references to the occult, but owes as much to Betty Friedan as Anton LaVey." It does seem to be addressing the subject of the occult via the lens of "women's lib" and so might be worthwhile, given the dearth of films from that period which tackle the subject.

So, in honor of The Wicker Tree's release on DVD and Bluray tomorrow (gee, that was fast, huh?), here's some words from the man who, with writer Anthony Shaffer, started it all in 1973.I have not seen the film yet and I'm … [Read more...]
Satanism is the New Pink
Recent news stories have me convinced that we're entering yet another satanic panic...while at the same time entering yet another occult revival.

Kids Blog
The Kids Expo is a family fun event at the Fredericksburg Expo and Conference Center on Saturday, February 14 from 10:00 - 5:00 and Sunday, February 15 from 11:00 - 4:00. Stop by the library's table to play tetris with robot arms, conduct experiments with static electricity and enjoy a shapes in nature matching game.
Recently, kindergarten students in Spotsylvania, Stafford, and Westmoreland counties, and the City of Fredericksburg received something special from their teachers. An application for a library card! The goal is for every child to have the opportunity to explore the wonderful world of over 700,00 books, DVDs and audios, homework help, and after-school enrichment opportunities available to them at no cost from the public library.
Looking for family fun?
The library provides opportunities for togetherness and nourishment for developing brains, including our Grow a Reader and STEM classes and music events. We also regularly offer engaged educational opportunities for the whole family. Each issue of @ Your Library, CRRL's quarterly magazine, features "great stuff for all ages."
Donna Jo Napoli and Amy Bates' Hands & Hearts is a sweet picture book for children who might be interested in learning a few ASL signs. It's a beach day story of a mother and daughter having a wonderful time together. Off to the side of each page is an illustration of how to sign one of the words in the text.
Saturday, February 7, 2015, is the fourth annual Take Your Child to the Library Day. This special day was the brainchild of Nadine Lipman, a children's librarian in Waterford, Connecticut, and serves as an encouragement to families across the nation to visit their local libraries.
Every child needs access to the many wonderful resources that the public library has to offer and whether your family are regular library users or visiting us for the first time, your children will enjoy a visit to your nearest branch. So take your child to the library and on February 7th, stop by the Youth Services Desk to receive a small thank-you for your visit and color and create your own story featuring Mo Willems' beloved Elephant and Piggie. Don't worry if you can't make it in, print the activity out and enjoy at home.
I know what you're thinking, wrong holiday, but if your winter vacation time is anything like mine you will be on the open road as much as you'll be at home. Our family will while away the traffic by listening to audiobooks. This past year I've started listening more regularly. It's been a great way to increase the number of books I "read" and makes my short commute go even more quickly. Here are some of my favorite audios that promise to entrance a car full of family no matter how long the journey.
Forbidding outside temperatures aside, there are so many reasons to curl up with a great book. Readers meet a variety of fascinating characters and there's an empathy that comes from reading about different lives and experiences that carries over to the real world. They learn new perspectives and have vicarious experiences. Personally, I have no ambition to ever sail around the world, but I love to read books about those who do. Books can also create an atmosphere that oozes from the pages and there's just something wonderful about the lushness of great writing and the aha moment of discovering new words. Here are a few books that encompass all of these characteristics.
What's better than a store-bought valentine with your name on it? Add a little something sweet to make it a valentine to remember. Sure, you can buy pretty candy at just about any store this time of the year, but you can also get creative and make it yourself.
Princesses do not run. They also don't hide their frilly, pink dresses in a broom closet, slide down secret chutes, or jump over castle walls. And princesses definitely do not wear black. But Princess Magnolia is no ordinary princess… she's a monster-fighting superhero in disguise, The Princess in Black!
Birds of a feather may flock together in Telephone, by Mac Barnett, but that does not mean they understand each other. Taking place on an actual telephone wire, the story begins with Peter the pigeon's mother asking a friend to tell him to fly home for dinner. Anyone who has played a game of telephone before will know what happens next.

I have a Bull Mastiff & Japanese Akita which both eat a lot. Wagg Complete Dog Food is cheap and hearty which fills them both up, they seem to really enjoy it and tuck in straight away. Their poo is always a firm and solid colour with no dreadful smells.
It's not smelly so I tend to mix in some Purina lamb complete which makes it extra tasty and smelly for them which isn't really a bad point as I buy both in bulk, but the Purina lasts months, as I use small amounts so even though it's expensive, the cost is spread out, so Wagg is really easy on the pocket.

Dietary Supplement Use and Folate Status during Pregnancy in the United States
ABSTRACT Adequate folate and iron intake during pregnancy is critical for maternal and fetal health. No previous studies to our knowledge have reported dietary supplement use and folate status among pregnant women sampled in NHANES, a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey. We analyzed data on 1296 pregnant women who participated in NHANES from 1999 to 2006 to characterize overall supplement use, iron and folic acid use, and RBC folate status. The majority of pregnant women (77%) reported use of a supplement in the previous 30 d, most frequently a multivitamin/-mineral containing folic acid (mean 817 μg/d) and iron (48 mg/d). Approximately 55-60% of women in their first trimester reported taking a folic acid- or iron-containing supplement compared with 76-78% in their second trimester and 89% in their third trimester. RBC folate was lowest in the first trimester and differed by supplement use across all trimesters. Median RBC folate was 1628 nmol/L among users and 1041 nmol/L among nonusers. Among all pregnant women, median RBC folate increased with trimester (1256 nmol/L in the first, 1527 nmol/L in the second, and 1773 nmol/L in the third). Given the role of folic acid in the prevention of neural tube defects, it is notable that supplement use and median RBC folate was lowest in the first trimester of pregnancy, with 55% of women taking a supplement containing folic acid. Future research is needed to determine the reasons for low compliance with supplement recommendations, particularly folic acid, in early pregnancy.

- "Periconceptional folic acid supplementation level Based on our investigation, folic acid supplementation in pregnant WWE was of shorter duration than that in the general population. Almost 91.3% of pregnant women are reportedly taking folic acid supplementation during their current pregnancy in Canada [23]; this rate is approximately 73.9% in the USA [24] and almost 86% in the Netherlands [25]. A recent survey conducted in China revealed that more than 80% of women take folic acid supplementation while pregnant [26]. "
Article: Periconceptional folic acid supplementation among pregnant women with epilepsy in a developing country: A retroprospective survey in China[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aims of this study were to investigate the implementation of guidelines on periconceptional folic acid supplementation among pregnant women with epilepsy (WWE) in China and to identify its potential correlations with selected sociodemographic and clinical factors. A detailed investigation was conducted in China using a structured questionnaire from December 2013 to May 2014. Data on the awareness and use of folic acid supplementation, as well as sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, were collected from 153 pregnant WWE. Descriptive analysis, followed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, was applied to the data from this survey. Among the enrolled subjects, 67.3% became pregnant after the promulgation of the relevant guidelines. Only 26.2% of them knew the exact effects of folic acid, and 73.8% had taken folic acid at some point during periconception. In addition, the folic acid intake of most of these women (67.1%) did not exceed that of the average pregnant woman. The prevalence of folic acid supplementation for pregnant WWE three months before pregnancy was only 15.5%. There has been almost no improvement in the level of additional awareness and use of folic acid supplementation for WWE since the relevant guidelines were established in China. Pregnant WWE with higher education levels, those with a planned pregnancy, or those who live in urban areas were more likely to know about and implement folic acid supplementation during periconception. Moreover, pregnant WWE with a planned pregnancy or those living in cities seemed to have a higher folic acid intake and started folic acid supplementation earlier before conception. The extent of awareness and use of folic acid supplementation in pregnant WWE remains low in China. More efforts are needed to promote periconceptional folic acid supplementation for WWE, especially those with low education levels and those who live in rural areas. Planned pregnancy should be encouraged for WWE. Copyright © 2014. Published by Elsevier Inc.Epilepsy & Behavior 01/2015; 44C:27-34. DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2014.12.026 · 2.26 Impact Factor

Article: Population red blood cell folate concentrations for prevention of neural tube defects: Bayesian model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective To determine an optimal population red blood cell (RBC) folate concentration for the prevention of neural tube birth defects. Design Bayesian model. Setting Data from two population based studies in China. Participants 247 831 participants in a prospective community intervention project in China (1993-95) to prevent neural tube defects with 400 μg/day folic acid supplementation and 1194 participants in a population based randomized trial (2003-05) to evaluate the effect of folic acid supplementation on blood folate concentration among Chinese women of reproductive age. Intervention Folic acid supplementation (400 μg/day). Main outcome measures Estimated RBC folate concentration at time of neural tube closure (day 28 of gestation) and risk of neural tube defects. Results Risk of neural tube defects was high at the lowest estimated RBC folate concentrations (for example, 25.4 (95% uncertainty interval 20.8 to 31.2) neural tube defects per 10 000 births at 500 nmol/L) and decreased as estimated RBC folate concentration increased. Risk of neural tube defects was substantially attenuated at estimated RBC folate concentrations above about 1000 nmol/L (for example, 6 neural tube defects per 10 000 births at 1180 (1050 to 1340) nmol/L). The modeled dose-response relation was consistent with the existing literature. In addition, neural tube defect risk estimates developed using the proposed model and population level RBC information were consistent with the prevalence of neural tube defects in the US population before and after food fortification with folic acid. Conclusions A threshold for "optimal" population RBC folate concentration for the prevention of neural tube defects could be defined (for example, approximately 1000 nmol/L). Population based RBC folate concentrations, as a biomarker for risk of neural tube defects, can be used to facilitate evaluation of prevention programs as well as to identify subpopulations at elevated risk for a neural tube defect affected pregnancy due to folate insufficiency.BMJ Clinical Research 07/2014; 349(jul29 3):g4554.

Article: Low folate status enhances pregnancy changes in plasma betaine and dimethylglycine concentrations and the association between betaine and homocysteine[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Folate, choline, and betaine participate in homocysteine metabolism. It is not known whether they interact during pregnancy. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to investigate how folate status affects choline, betaine, and dimethylglycine during pregnancy. DESIGN: Fasting plasma folate, cobalamin, free choline, betaine, dimethylglycine, and total homocysteine (tHcy) were measured longitudinally at <12, 15, 24-27, and 34 gestational weeks (GW); at labor (nonfasting); and in the cord in participants (n = 522) from the Reus-Tarragona Birth Cohort (NUTrició i Creixement Intrauterí Retardat phase). Timing, dose, and duration of folic acid supplement use were recorded. Folate status was classified as below (low) or above (high) median plasma folate at baseline (27.6 nmol/L) and at 24-27 GW (11.4 nmol/L). Associations between folate or betaine with tHcy were investigated by using multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS: Plasma betaine decreased by 34.8% (1.0%) throughout pregnancy, and dimethylglycine increased by 39.7% (2.7%) between 24-27 GW and labor (all P < 0.001). Low folate status was associated with a higher dimethylglycine/betaine ratio from 15 GW and with lower plasma betaine and higher dimethylglycine from 24 to 27 GW, for the rest of pregnancy, compared with high status. Regression analysis showed that by 24-27 GW, both plasma folate and betaine were inversely associated with tHcy when folate status was low and that the association between betaine and tHcy depended on folate status at 24-27 and 34 GW (interaction terms: P < 0.001 and P < 0.01). Betaine was inversely associated with tHcy at labor regardless of folate status. CONCLUSION: Low folate status enhances the reduction in betaine and the increase in dimethylglycine during pregnancy and strengthens the association between betaine and tHcy. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01778205.American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 04/2013; 97(6). DOI:10.3945/ajcn.112.054189 · 6.77 Impact Factor

DHEC orders Williamston lake drained
WILLIAMSTON - State officials have ordered a private Williamston lake to be drained after determining its dam to be unsafe.
Town officials alerted the state Department of Health and Environmental Control this past spring about problems with the earthen dam, located on Mooring Drive. Inspectors from DHEC's Anderson office monitored the dam over the next several weeks and determined it to be in an advanced state of disrepair.
Local inspectors paid a final visit to the site Wednesday and recommended drainage to their superiors in Columbia, who in turn issued such an order Friday to property owner Ramona Wesley.
Wesley is cooperating fully with DHEC. She has hired a contractor and the work is under way. The two-acre lake, as deep as 25 feet in some spots, is now draining into the nearby Saluda River.
How long that will take is not certain.
"I guess just depends on the rain we get," said Wesley, who blamed the problem on beavers moving in from the Saluda and blocking the lake's outflows. She added that recent downpours appear to have hastened the deterioration and strengthened the aquifers feeding the lake.
The dam is approximately 10 feet high and believed to be several decades old. Wesley said it had been there for several years before her mother bought the property in the 1980s. She said she could repair the dam and refill the lake once the drainage is complete, but that's up in the air. too.
"It really depends on the cost, because it's costing me quite a bit to drain it," Wesley said.
Mayor Mack Durham walked the neighborhood Friday, knocking on doors and assuring residents they were safe and the matter was being properly handled. He did not respond to an interview request Friday evening, nor did DHEC officials.

My bike is usually covered in dirt/mud/grime about 65% of the time after I'm done riding.
If your bike is getting wet due to wet/muddy conditions on the trail what is the difference between getting it wet with a hose. Nothing! As long as you aren't high power blasting the thing, it will all be fine.
I have always used a hose to get everything clean. Suds it up, use a brush/sponge to remove gunk. I then dry it off and wipe it all down and re-lube where necessary. I've never had to replace anything, my bikes have been fine.
I usually turn my bikes over every 5 years or so, so maybe if I was really trying to extend the longest possible shelf life of my bike I'd maybe be a bit more careful..... but I doubt it.
I vote for washing and drying, and having a nice clean bike. At least until your next ride

Love. Love. Love. I actually use this as a night moisturiser and although the tube looks small, it is still going strong after 8 months daily use. As someone who had very bad breakouts in the past, I must say this has certainly kept them at bay, I only get one or two minor pimples here and now. Having said that, it is a bit pricey in my opinion, but if you are willing to shell out $20+ dollars (in Australia that is) for a reliable product, this baby will be great for helping you say good bye to breakouts. Feels very soothing on the skin, and has a nice faint scent.

Acne and spot treatment that works for me! Don't expect to get rid of them overnight, it takes a while and sometimes make my skin look ugly as it brings out bumps into surface before it dries out and gets gone. But once it clears out the skin, it DOES clear out! It unclogs my pores very nicely. I don't have any blackheads and whiteheads anymore since using this product every morning and night. It controls oil as well. Now I am more confident going out without makeup bcause my skin is naturally smoother and matte. Will always keep one on the drawer whenever I need a spot treatment!

well, i registered to write a review about it, thats how good it is. first of all, to say what everybody says - purging started on day 3 for me, took 7-8 days to clear my face completely. Secondly, even those who looove to pick their "imperfections", please dont - these are the ones that take ages to heal. With other products like Triacneal it doesnt make much difference, Effaclar Duo though gets rid of untouched spots and whiteheads faster. Also, it may leave temporary darker spots (discolouration) on your face, still worth a perfect skin you get :) very cheap for such an effective product, smells nice and has a very nice packaging :) recommend!!!

I have the European version. So no benzoyl peroxide like the usa one.The usa version is a spot tx and is very different than the one i'm reviewing. They are labeled as the same product, but have different ingredients. Perhaps that is why there are so many conflicting reviews on the effaclar duo. I hear some people rave and others hate it.
The tube say it is for corrective and unclogging care of the skin.
This stuff is pretty amazing. It used for all over the face, morning and nigt. If you have lil bumps under the skin, white comedones, this product will bring those up and out and then heal them quickly. ( some people don't want to go through this process but give it a few weeks and the skin looks so much smoother) It will also help prevent future pores from clogging up. If you have red or inflamed blemishes, this will help heal them faster without the flaky mess. It is not a moisturizer, but somehow leaves my skin softer.
It goes on silky, nice hygienic tube with "needle" point tip, 40 ml. Made in france. and the product really works like it says. No parabens.
The cons- slight floral scent which i don't like, but it does dissipate. First couple uses stung, but i have sensitive skin. Hard to find. Not cheap.

I received a sample size package of this product, and after reading reviews on it I was hesitant to use it because it seems to cause some people an allergic reaction. But I figured my skin usually is not sensitive so I tested it out on a couple of small pimples that I had on my upper chest. It started working within hours! I was amazed, so I applied some more the next day, and the day after that, and the blemishes were gone, EXCEPT I'm left with red and dry patches exactly in the areas the cream was applied. I'm really surprised I got such a reaction from this, and I'm glad I didn't apply it to my face!! So I'll say that it is effective at clearing pimples, BUT you may be left with a bigger problem - redness and irritation. Use with caution.

I don't have bad skin but get spots and blemishes occasionally. When I see some coming up I apply this product the that area under my moisturiser and it definitely clears the skin quickly. It seems quite potent so I wouldn't ever be confident to apply all over my face. I can see myself always keeping this product in my bathroom cabinet and would recommend.

Oh, man. I need to keep away from this product. For those with really sensitive skin, I wouldn't even touch this stuff. I've used it twice (tiny, tiny pin-dot amounts) only to result in serious chemical burns that took weeks to repair. If your skin is more resilient then I'm sure this would be no problem but warning to anyone with delicate skin, don't touch this stuff. Even after it burned my skin off, there were still pimples! So it just didn't work out for me at all, sadly.

I have combination skin with mild to moderate acne. Benzoyl peroxide has been the only product that has really worked to reduce my acne for over 5 years. However, some of the stronger benzoyl peroxide creams were beginning to make my skin more sensitive and delicate, especially if I am in the sun at all. The dual action acne treatment contains a very effective dose of benzoyl peroxide (5.5%) that minimizes irritation. In addition, it contains .4% micro-exfoliating LHA. I have been using this product for about three weeks and it has improved my acne significantly. While I still get stubborn blemishes around my chin and t-zone, especially when I am hormonal, my skin looks very clear overall. In addition, it comes in a tube with a fine tip that minimizes oxygen exposure (oxygen exposure basically ruins benzoyl peroxide).

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo is an anti redness and pore unclogger. It is NOT an exfoliator and it is NOT designed for dry skin. It is designed to even out skin texture and tone, and to, over time, reduce the redness left by acne blemishes.
This is not a spot treatment, there is no salycilic/alpha hydroxy acids in this to treat blemishes. Its just designed to even out the skintone and texture. And also reduce redness.
90% of the people who have given this bad reviews have used it wrong.
It does work, it minimises blemishes and lumps and bumps. It doesn "unclog" pores but with daily washing you will do that yourself anyways. It reduces redness and speeds up the healing process of scars.
If youre using this to "treat acne" or as some kind of spot treatment youre using it wrong.
It smells a bit funny to me after a few weeks of use, like veet or nair? Kind of a bit hair remover creme-y. Not horriffic and it dissipates but a bit alarming.
I have repurchased this and will continue to repurchase as it is great.
I wish it came in a pump bottle, as the squeeze tube is a bit unhygenic.
Im commenting on the EU formula also. Not the US formula (not that I think there is a big difference)

Wright-Way Rescue seeks to reduce the number of homeless adoptable pets euthanized in the Midwest each year through an adoption program, community education, promotion of spaying and neutering, and a shelter medicine outreach program.
Shelters are hard luck cases. This one truly loves their animals. This is a beloved neighborhood gem.
I thought this place lost their lease. Was is a ploy to get more adoptions or are they really in trouble??

JUPITER, Fla. By evidence of his four-year, 27 million contract that begins this season, left-hander Jaime Garcia doesn't have to worry about his spot in the rotation. After another solid campaign last year, the 25-year-old Cardinals starter has a spot reserved for him this year despite how good or bad he performs this spring. But don't tell that him. "I came in just like last year, trying to make the team," Garcia said Thursday. "I'm trying to get my work in and make progress and get better every single day and learn something every day. That's all I think about. "I don't think about it like I'm established and making the team already, all I'm worried about right now is getting better each day and getting ready for Opening Day." Garcia looked ready to start the season Thursday in his first start of the spring. Facing a formidable Boston Red Sox lineup, Garcia retired all six batters he faced in two quick innings of work. The lefty had four strikeouts and threw 19 of his 27 ...

A group of children from Newtown who recently recorded a version of "Over the Rainbow" are preparing for a live appearance during the E! Network's Grammy Awards preshow on Sunday.
"American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest will be flying a crew to Connecticut and plans to interview the children via satellite during the E!'s "Live From the Red Carpet" preshow, said Tim Hayes, who co-produced the recording.
The children also will be singing Carly Rae Jepson's hit song, "Call Me Maybe," he said.
The group of 21 kids, some of whom attend Sandy Hook Elementary School, recorded "Over the Rainbow" last month with singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson at the Fairfield home of Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, two former members of the Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club rock bands.
Sabrina Post, who runs a performing arts school in Newtown and directs the group, said the kids wanted to do something with their talent to honor their friends and neighbors who died in the Dec. 14 massacre at the school, and help the community heal.
"This opportunity to do something positive lets the kids know that although a lot of things happen in our world that are not pleasant, like this that happened with us in Newtown, there are many giving people and wonderful things that can come out of life, so don't get discouraged," she said. "It teaches them to use their gifts to work through things."
The children also have sung the song on ABC's Good Morning America and at a benefit concert that featured artists such as Paul Simon and Johnny Winter. Some of them are also appearing on Katie Couric's syndicated show this month, Hayes said.
He said they have no plans to record anything else, or have the kids make any more public appearances.
"We know the kids involved have had a wonderful experience, but we think this chapter is now done, and we want these kids to get back to being kids," he said.
Copies of their version of "Over the Rainbow" are being sold on Amazon and iTunes.
The proceeds from the download of the single benefit the United Way of Western Connecticut and the Newtown Youth Academy. The nonprofit sports center opened free programs to Newtown children after the shooting and hopes to expand free programming.
The Grammy performance follows Sunday's appearance by another group of Newtown children at the Super Bowl.
Jennifer Hudson joined a chorus from Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing "America the Beautiful" before the game. The emotional performance had some players on the sideline on the verge of tears.
