Looking back over Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ray Emery's past seven starts, of which only one was quality, it's not that surprising to hear that he "felt something pop" during the game against the Buffalo Sabres on Nov. 14. His fantasy owners "felt something pop," too: the bubble of effectiveness he'd produced over the first 14 starts, nine of which were quality. From that point forward, he only got one win in the seven starts, and relented 26 goals, nearly four per game. His save percentage went from .924 in the first 14 starts to .786 in the past seven.
At least now we know there's a reason for that statistical brutality and not just an inexplicable drop in skills. We also know that Emery underwent surgery for his groin problem Wednesday, and it's a similar process to what forward Simon Gagne had done earlier this season. Emery is set to miss about six weeks, and his injury will have the greatest impact on his backup, Brian Boucher, who is now the only 'tender on the Flyers with NHL experience. Recent callup Johan Backlund toiled in Sweden's Elitserien for the past four seasons before signing his one-year deal, but he's been with the Adirondack Phantoms for most of this season.
You might remember Boucher as the handcuff to Evgeni Nabokov from 2008-09. He was one of the league's most rosterable backups for fantasy purposes last season, finishing the campaign with 12 wins in 20 starts, and ratios of 2.18 GAA and .917 SVP. But those nice ratios are a bit deceiving, as he showed some inconsistency when asked to start several games in a row, which is the task at hand now. There is, of course, an outside chance that the Flyers trade for Martin Biron, who was with the team last season. Biron is currently with the New York Islanders, who have been getting reasonably good play from Dwayne Roloson, and franchise goalie Rick DiPietro is inching closer to a return. But if no move is made, expect Boucher in net for many of the 16 games the Flyers will play over the next six weeks.
So how valuable will he be for us in those games? Well, this Flyers team was expected to mount a serious challenge in the Eastern Conference this season, with some pundits claiming they'd represent the East in the Stanley Cup finals. Obviously we haven't been seeing that version of the team too often thus far, but the talent is still there somewhere. The firing of head coach John Stevens and subsequent hiring of Peter Laviolette didn't light an immense fire under them, as they were fricasseed 8-2 by the Caps a day later. I'm not too high on Boucher winning a ton of the games during this stretch, but if he can maintain his 2.53 GAA (or drop it down a bit), he's not too bad an option. Then again, you might be better served getting an occasional start from one of the other backups -- like Tuukka Rask, Antti Niemi or Johan Hedberg -- all of whom are available in over 50 percent of ESPN leagues.

Rising and falling
Pekka Rinne, Predators (down four spots): Rinne's play in November had him shooting up the rankings, but a recent spat of forgettable performances has tempered that enthusiasm. A 34-save, two-goals-against performance against the Canucks (the league's No. 5 offense) makes his five goals relented to the Wild (the league's No. 22 offense) all the more puzzling. Due to Rinne's inconsistency, the door has been cracked back open for Dan Ellis in Nashville, which diminishes Rinne's value slightly.
Carey Price (up nine spots): In spite of their well-publicized offseason acquisitions, the Habs are struggling to remain in the top half of the Eastern Conference. Fortunately, it appears as though Price has turned a bit of a corner and stabilized his role on the ice and in the box score. Going back to a Nov. 5 shootout win against the Bruins (13 starts), Price has let up 28 goals total, with a save percentage of .932 and seven wins over that span. The Canadiens were rewarded for their patience with Price; hopefully you were, too. While the Habs could make a trade to shake up their anemic offense (No. 26 in the league, with 2.45 goals per game), remember they'll be getting Andrei Markov back sometime in early January which will boost that scoring average, with a coinciding effect on Price's wins.
Ty Conklin, Blues (up six spots): Conklin is emerging as one of the better backups this season, which is no shocker to anyone who owned him last season as Chris Osgood's caddy. Speaking of the Red Wings, Conklin shut out his former teammates Wednesday night, facing a barrage of 42 shots. This, coupled with his 32-save win at the Sharks earlier in the month, adds to his legitimacy. The trouble is he's stuck behind Chris Mason, who in spite of a few bad outings recently is holding down the fort pretty well this season (2.44 GAA and .918 SVP, good for twelfth in the league in both categories). Until the time-share becomes more of a 50-50 split, Conklin won't approach the fantasy value of Boston's Tuukka Rask, who is more valuable than a few No. 1's out there.
Jose Theodore (23.9 percent) and Semyon Varlamov (95.2 percent), Capitals: Caps coach Bruce Boudreau went back to playing the alternation game, and aside from a 3-0 blanking Wednesday night with Theodore in net, it seemed to be going pretty well for both goalies. There is a report as of Wednesday, though, that Varlamov has a "lower-body injury," and he didn't take part in the morning skate before the team's 3-0 loss to Buffalo. While the official word is that Varlamov is day-to-day, Tarik El-Bashir of The Washington Post writes that it's a groin strain, an injury that can take weeks to heal properly. Especially with Theodore faring reasonably well in his past few games, the Caps might play it conservatively with Varlamov's recovery. What does that mean? Pick up Theodore (if he's available) since he's the one who'll get most of the starts for the next few weeks if El-Bashir's source is right.
Jimmy Howard (25.7 percent) and Chris Osgood (48.3 percent), Red Wings: Colleague Sean Allen took the reins on this one in this week's Open Ice, but the bottom line is this: In spite of the promotion to No. 1 goalie in Detroit, the team in front of Howard is still struggling to put pucks past the goalie at the opposite end. In theory, the starting goaltender for the Detroit Red Wings should be good for truckloads of wins, but less than half the team's 30 games have resulted in a W thus far. As strange as it sounds, by starting the Red Wings' netminder this season, you're punting wins. To make up for that, you need some dominance in the ratios, and Howard is No. 16 in the NHL in GAA and tied for No. 22 in SVP (although those numbers have been better of late). My advice is to roster him if you have a slot and hope that this team remembers its assassin's identity. Middle-of-the-road ratios are much more palatable when combined with lots of wins.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere (18.7 percent) and Jonas Hiller (91.3 percent), Ducks: Shamelessly stealing a bit from ESPN's fantasy guru Matthew Berry, let's do a blind comparison of the Ducks' goaltenders over each of their past five starts. Goalie A: 2-1-2 record, 11 goals against, .922 SVP. Goalie B: 1-3-1 record, 16 goals against, .880 SVP. Bear in mind that on the season as a whole, Goalie A has a 2.64 GAA and .913 SVP, whereas Goalie B has a 3.12 and .906, respectively. Funny thing is, based on those ownership percentages, ESPN's fantasy hockey community -- and until recently, Ducks coach Randy Carlyle -- hasn't caught up with the fact that Goalie A (Giguere) is destroying Goalie B (Hiller). Shocking, considering the "name value" that tends to guide some owners across all fantasy sports. Anyway, Carlyle recently dropped a hint that Jiggy might become more of a full-time tender when he told The Orange County Register, "when we make that change or make that determination, we'll make the selection on who we feel is going to give us the best chance to win versus 'if you win, you're in.'" Whether you own Hiller or not, Jiggy is now on must-pick-up status. I don't think he's No. 1-worthy in fantasy, but he could be a good No. 2 option, especially if the Ducks can pick up the scoring slack a bit.
To the rescue!
A couple of backups have provided some nice support lately after an injury to the alpha dog 'tender. Brian Elliott is not among this cohort. No one should be desperate enough to start him the way he's been playing, but that hasn't stopped his ownership percentage from staying at 16.7 percent in spite of 19 goals given up in five December starts.
Peter Budaj, Avalanche: Craig Anderson is suffering from some sort of neck injury (listed as "sore neck") that forced him to head home early from the Avs' recent road trip. Depending on who you believe, the injury could be worse than the team is letting on, or they're just being extra-cautious. Either way, Budaj has stepped in and put up better numbers than, well, ever for him: a 2.38 GAA compared to 2.74 for his career, and .920 SVP compared to .903 for his career. With the Avs scoring at a 2.93 goals-per-game clip, he has a chance to win each time out. He's only owned in 1.6 percent of ESPN leagues; there's no sense leaving him on the waiver wire while he's piling up these performances.
Jeff Deslauriers, Oilers: He might have dropped the first part of his hyphenated last name this season (he went by Drouin-Deslauriers last season), but Deslauriers has picked his game up in the wake of the back injury to Nikolai Khabibulin, especially in the past four starts. In that quartet of games, Deslauriers has let seven pucks past him total, with a save percentage of .947 and wins in all four. The news is more distressing regarding Khabibulin than Anderson. The veteran netminder -- who will turn 37 in January -- is still suffering from a back injury and is out indefinitely. The Oilers' Web site notes that he's about 25 percent recovered right now, meaning Deslauriers will continue to start for the time being. There will be some inconsistency (before the four-game hot streak, he gave up four goals to the Canucks in just eight minutes on Nov. 28), but the risk is worth the reward. He's owned in only 2.3 percent of leagues, and his value will continue to rise as Khabibulin's injury keeps the high-priced Russian off the ice.

Starter robot autonomously navigates with a $2 microcontroller.
In early 2011 my robot club, the Dallas Personal Robotics Group, was looking for a way to help our beginning members build up their skills. To this end, we produced a series of lessons covering 5 topics needed to make a simple, programmable robot: making PCBs with the toner transfer method, programming ATtiny microprocessors, laying out circuit boards using KiCAD, using Inkscape to design robot parts, and programming state machines. Videos of these lectures are available on DPRG's website.
The Tiny Wanderer is the starter DIY robot model we designed to support the series. It uses the unintimidating ATtiny85 chip, which is less complex than larger chips, and the new kit version shown here lets you easily swap in an Arduino.
The chassis, inspired by the now-discontinued Oomlout SERB, has benefited from constant modification and tweaks by DPRG members. Its two IR LED/sensor proximity "feelers" were originally designed to let the bot wander around a tabletop without falling off, but they can be repurposed for obstacle avoidance and line-following. (Another successful mod added 64-slot encoders on the wheels, for dead reckoning.)
Before inserting the ATTiny85 into the socket on the controller board you should make some simple ohm meter checks using these tables.
Here are some additional mods that give Tiny completely different personalities:
I hope the fun we've had with Tiny Wanderer will be shared with other hobby roboticists and makers around the world.
Because Tiny Wanderer has no rear-facing sensor, it might back off a cliff. Strategies for preventing this are a current "area of research" at the DPRG. In the code you downloaded, the robot backs up while turning away from the detected edge, for about 1 second (about 90°). Then it resumes rolling forward. If both sensors find a cliff at the same time (very rare), it backs up straight. Wheel speeds and backup time parameters are easily tweakable in the code's .h file.
You can also change the robot's behavior by moving one sensor slightly ahead of the other. Tell Tiny to turn slightly toward the leading sensor when it detects a cliff, then turn sharply when the trailing sensor finds it. That way, Tiny will do a multi-point turn and then pivot to run along the cliff!
Yet another approach is to stop the cliff-side wheel entirely and inch the other wheel forward until both sensors detect the cliff — then back up and turn 180°.
You can reconfigure the Tiny Wanderer sensors to face forward, for object avoidance, or run close together, for line following.
We designed the Tiny Wanderer as a hackable platform. One possible modification is to add paper encoder disks (black/white stripes) inside the wheels, and use the IR sensors to track servo speed and perform dead reckoning calculations. And of course, you can also use different types of sensors, such as light, sound, or distance.
For a major upgrade of capabilities, the Tiny Wanderer's deck has mounting holes that fit a standard Arduino board, which has enough I/O pins to support all of the above — not to mention various plug-in shields with amazing capabilities. (I expect many Arduino-heads to be mainly interested in the Tiny Wanderer as an Arduino-scale rolling platform, and dispense with the whole ATtiny brain.)
If you're ever in Dallas, the DPRG meets every Tuesday night and every second Saturday of the month. Come visit!

I hated this hotel
i stayed at this hotel while visiting family in virginia and thought a nice hotel for a little vacation on the side. the hotel is expensive, too expensive for the service we received. first, it took 20 minutes to flag down a waiter at one of the restaurants. We were surprised because the hotel is pretty empty during the holiday. Then, we went looking for some ice on our floor, and then the floor above because the ice machines were broken. we thought at $200 a night, maybe we could call someone and have someone help us out, but we were simply told "keep checking other floors for the ice". gee, thanks! Finally, for breakfast one morning, we couldn't get a menu because and we were told to eat the buffet because it would take an hour to get any food at the restaurant. Out of frustation, we didn't eat there or for the remainder of the trip. The tales of bad service goes on and on. if the hotel is not at capacity during the holidays, why the wait for everything and the bad service? and i could go on and on about billing mishaps at the end of the stay.
Happy, fun place!
We stayed at Lansdowne for a wedding, and it was wonderful. The staff were so friendly and accomodating, and the food was excellent (both the restaurants and reception held there too). We loved the pools and the newly decorated rooms! Every request was handled smoothly--including a crib in the room waiting for our infant. I agree with the above poster, the setting is not entirely secluded--you can tell you're in suburbia. However, once you go through the doors of the resort, you are treated so happily and wonderfully!
Could have been better
My husband and I booked a weekend at the Lansdowne Resort, hoping to recharge our batteries. While the hotel is nice enough, I certainly would not call the Lansdowne one of the best resorts I've ever been to.
The Pros: the newly renovated rooms are attractive and the beds are comfortable; the buffets in the Riverside Hearth have a large variety of foods that are generally quite good and the wait staff is excellent; the fitness center is top notch (but a bit too warm) with Cybex weight machines, free weights, new Life Fitness treadmills, ellipticals, steppers, and bikes; the pools are fun and plentiful and there is a good pool-side snack bar (a server will bring a brightly-colored ice drink to you in the pool, if you'd like); and the tennis courts are nice.
The Cons: the room walls are paper thin -- we could hear everything said in the room next to us; the rooms are quite small (we paid for an upgrade to a "larger" corner king room but should have saved our money -- on our last day we peeked into a standard king room and thought it was as big or even bigger than our room); the spa is booked weeks in advance, so we were unable to get a massage; the rooms have no safes or refrigerators (although they do have bathrobes); and the desk staff was unfamiliar with the terms of our package deal and tried to charge us for the resort fee ($9 per day per room) which was supposed to be included in the package (fortunately, we had printed out the description of our package from the internet and brought it with us, so after several minutes they finally agreed to take the charge off our bill).
One of the biggest "cons" for us is that although the website described Lansdowne as being in "a secluded setting", it is really very suburban. You can't see the river, houses and a hospital abut the property, and there are no walking or biking trails. There is really very little to do at the resort if you don't play golf and you didn't sign up weeks in advance for the spa.
All in all, the resort is okay but nothing I'd go out of my way to go to again.
Scenic Beauty
Our friends and us just concluded a stay at the Lansdowne Resort (Aug 4- Aug. 7, 2005) and cannot say enough wonderful things about this lovely
experience ...from the well appointed rooms, restaurant and staff to the golf, pool areas and magnificant grounds......we especially enjoyed our spa visits (which we each did a few times throughout our stay) the staff were very pleasant and professional.
We found the Lansdowne Resort on the internet and cannot wait to return next year.
1/2 Ritz, 1/2 Trailer Park
What do you get when you mix the Ritz and a Trailer park - Lansdowne. We were just part of a wedding party that ws there for 4 days that chose to go back to a hotel that was the BEST in the region 10 years ago when it opened (and I stayed there 10-15 times) but not now.
I am just amazed to see how they can take an incredible and beautiful property and staff it with the most indifferent, incompetent people and totally ruin both the wedding party and the individual's stay. Don't have your wedding guest stay here.
The problems ranged from:
-beer cans and wine cooler bottles along the roads and the kids playground
-spa staff lying about availability since they were too lazy to ask the people who actually own and run the spa. (the spa owners was stunned to know the stories they made up)
-never delivered the welcome baskets to the guests
-breakfast service had 4 people standing around talking with each other but no one to bring us our check
-concierge was supposed to send room service menu's to the pool after she said they were serving food at the pool. It never came after 45 minutes of waiting. (try to explain that to a hungry 2 and 5 year old)
-when they did finally servce food at the pool the next day, the hamburger buns were cut 90%/10% so you couldn't eat it.
There were 4 or 5 more instances of completely indifferent service which would lead me to state that they should immediately fire their service manager because it is only a training problem.
The hotel is beautiful. The rooms and golf course are very nice (although heavy construction is going on), the area is nice --just like a 5 star Ritz hotel but the people are indifferent, untrained, defocused, impolite, and simply unacceptable which is only a problem of poor management.
I travel heavily and worldwide staying in all kinds of hotel and generally, you get what you expect and pay for. Landsdowne may be fine if you though you were staying at a Motel 6 but not if you are considering to wonderful weekend or a great wedding party, pick something else or ask if they have hired any new management.
One headache after another
I have to say that I am very unimpressed with my recent experience with Lansdowne Resort. We went for a "relaxing" spa weekend getaway and nothing about it was relaxing. The renovated rooms are rather pleasing to the eye, but it does not seem like attention was paid to the details. The sheets and blankets were very uncomfortable--the sheets were far too crisp and the blanket was itchy. The hallways were kept at what felt like 30 degrees--we nearly sprinted to our room from the elevator. At the "spa," and that term should be used loosely, our experience did not improve. The massages were average, the manicures only lasted a day, and the pedicure was frankly a rip-off. We all have enjoyed much better pedicures at lower prices. The staff were interesting, but asked personal and inappropriate questions (e.g., salary questions of self and husband, other personal financial questions). The spa and treatment rooms were not set apart from the golf traffic, and they were rather noisy. We could often hear people in other rooms and children shrieking in the nearby whirlpool. To top that off, the staff forgot one of our pre-scheduled treatmens and left one of us sitting in their "waiting area" (basically 2 chairs next to a manicure station) for 45 minutes. The courteous front desk staff did try to make amends, but with such limited treatment rooms, not many choices were possible. The floors in the salon area are so slippery that it becomes dangerous to walk across it in the flip-flops they provide for you to wear. There were a couple of plusses, the front desk staff at the spa are terrific, and one of the facialists is wonderful. As for the food, the only places worth going are the bar (great appetizers and very pleasant service) and the steakhouse, though Morton's it is not. The buffet, particularly for dinner, is to be avoided, as is the poolside cafe. To cap off the weekend, I was charged twice for the pleasure of staying there, and it was not easy to get the second charge credited back to me.
Apparently they are re-doing the spa area, so after that it may be worth going to, but until then, I would give Lansdowne two thumbs down.
Off-Season, Off-the-mark
We took advantage of the resort's $99 promotion for the off-season anticipating the indoor pool and spa would provide a serene getaway. We were disappointed with the indoor pool, which afforded no comfortable seating poolside apart from a few benches and chairs... certainly nothing you could read a book comfortably in. The spa services are as expensive as the best but when you can hear women chattering at the front desk during your $100 relaxing massage, something's amiss. The guest services at the resort were top-notch, and our room was comfortable. There's a lot of construction going on at the resort, our room overlooked a mud field of a construction site, replete with port-o-johns and trailers. I won't be in a hurry to go back to Lansdowne, but then again... they don't call it the off-season for nothing.
Great Hotel! Great Staff! and getting better...
I just want to say I live in Lansdowne, VA and am a member at the Golf Club since 1993. The Golf course is amazing - and they are just expanding with a new course this Spring!! - They will be getting bigger and better ---- The three restaurants are good - the Lansdowne Grille is REALLY amazing (the steakhouse) - and the buffet and the pub are both really good too.. I am personally really excited about the new renovations (though is sort of ----- while they are doing them) any place they are lacking will soon be resolved!
Left us Stranded, Oblivious Staff
My husband and I planned a romantic winter weekend getaway for the weekend at this resort and spa. We planned to just relax around the inn and scheduled spa services. Our room was so-so, not more than a decent hotel room. The restaurant and pub were okay, but the staff was slow and not very attentive. When we went to get our spa services the next day, they could not find our appointments, and had the attitude that we must not have made any. They informed us that we could get services "anyway," but then made us wait for 40 minutes after that. Spa services ok, but not worth making a special trip.
The topper of the whole weekend was when a blizzard came through. The hotel did not offer to accomodate out of town guests or do anything special to make guests feel more comfortable about being stranded (but did take the money for the extra night). They also did not plow the parking lot until the next day. When we chose to leave the incompetent hotel the next day, on our way out we got the number to the front desk. They said not to worry, if we got stuck, they would send someone out. We found out that they had stopped plowing right outside of the parking lot, and a 1/2 mile down the road we got stuck. We called the front desk, and they said, "sorry we can't help you, you can call the county, but they are probably too busy plowing the main roads." This being a back road traveled only by hotel guests, we were quite worried. We would to have had to abandon our car and walk back to the stupid hotel, and pay for another night, but fortunately, someone else who had gotten stuck up the road helped us get unstuck and we all were able to leave.
Really rude, unprofessional staff, definitely not an upscale or romantic place to go. Skip it.
Very good overall, but needs front desk training
We hold about 30 2-day meetings a year, every one in a different conference center or resort. The Lansdowne is a good facility, well thought through conference and meeting arrangements, and particularly excellent food arrangements. But, based on my experience checking in as well as checking out, front desk personnel need to broken of the habit of explaining to a guest why a problem happened, instead of handling the problem. Example: "No hot water in my room. I had to take a cold shower." The only possible appropriate answer, of course, is: "I'm terribly sorry, sir, what can we do to make up for the inconvenience?" Lansdowne response: "What floor were you on? You have to let it run." Then a blank stare. In her heart of hearts she was absolutely convinced she had handled my problem. If you can't train that thought process out of a person, they should never be in direct contact with a guest. Still, I'd probably take another meeting there, based on the sales and banquet dept. profesionalism.

In the new year I was having struggles with my faith, so I was praying alot and started reading my Bible each day, and in mid April I read the passage about Abraham and Sarah, and there was a line that said 'One year from today Sarah will give birth to a son'.

Law and lighter fare such as Doogie Howser, M.D. He also published his first novel this year, Death by Hollywood.

SHEPHERDSVILLE -- James Neil Farris may have been a man ahead of his times when he served as Bullitt County Judge.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Teachers always have wonderful ideas that may be outside the box.
And, many times, they are definitely outside the budget.
Since 2011, the Bullitt County Foundation for Excellence in Public Education has been rewarding educators who have special ideas that may not be funded in the budget.
During the past five funding cycles, the private organization has given grant money totaling over $57,000 to Bullitt County educators.
The main fund-raiser for the group has always been held during the Derby season.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Paroquet Springs Conference Centre will host this year's Lincoln Heritage Boy Scout fund-raising dinner on Tuesday, April 12.
John Asher of Churchill Downs will serve as keynote speaker.
The leadership team of John Snider, Jose Cubero and Gary McGruder are recruiting a strong campaign team as they aim for the event's $32,000 goal.
The annual dinner will offer a social hour and silent auction for the over 150 business leaders anticipated to attend.
U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie visited local schools and brought his discussion on the U.S. government.
Among the schools he visited on the latest trip was Zoneton and Eastside Middle and Cedar Grove Elementary.
Normally Guthrie visits elementary classes but he had a special invitation to visit the middle school.
Cierra Williams, an eighth grader at Zoneton, wrote to Guthrie several months ago and asked him to share his experience as a congressman. Students were able to listen and then ask questions.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- It will not be a problem that law enforcement officials can solve.
And it won't be a situation that medication is the answer.
Most certainly, counseling alone will not alleviate the country of this growing cause of death.
However, a multi-faceted approach has begun in Bullitt County to combat the issue of heroin abuse.
Officials with Seven Counties Services unveiled a new comprehensive recovery approach before a standing-room only crowd on Thursday.
Doug Henry has earned a doctorate from the University of Phoenix for his successful defense of his dissertation, The Effect of Public Military Academies on Africa-American High School Graduation Rates in Chicago: A Delphi Study.
Dr. Henry is an eighth grade social studies teacher at Bullitt Lick Middle School.
CLERMONT -- The celebration of trees continues through July at Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest.
But there are also a lot of other spring activities.
Discovery Stations
Hands-on Discovery Stations, featuring a variety of plant, animal, and nature activities will be set up daily during Spring Break between 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the Visitor Center for families to explore at their leisure and at no cost.
Bernheim staff and Volunteer Naturalists will also be on hand to help bring each Discovery Station to life!
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The Shepherdsville Elementary archery team has enjoyed recent success, much of it since Nevaeh Tiller decided to lend a hand.
The fifth grader recently earned the team's highest score, 259, to help lead SES to its first-ever archery victory at the St. Gabriel Tournament in Louisville.
The score matched her older step-brother's career high mark. And she did it all with one hand…literally!
CLERMONT -- You've been told the message.
You know it is something that you need to do.
But you really don't have the desire to do it.
Would it help if your doctor joined in?
If that message was to go outside and get some exercise, a national program coming to Bullitt County might just be your answer.
On the second Saturday of each month through November, KentuckyOne Health, Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest and the Bullitt County Health Department will join forces to present Walk with a Doc.
Some lucky charmers from the Nichols Elementary pre-school classroom celebrated the Wearing o' the Green on St. Patrick's Day.
Students made lucky crowns from construction paper, with their made-up Irish names written on the sides.
The creative activity was a part of the pre-school program's many St. Patrick's day festivities, a fun way to learn a little about the holiday's history.

Reviews for Childrens Humanitarian International
I've known this organization since its founding. I love this organization and what they do. It really stands out from other nonprofits as it is very focused on improving lives via education sponsorships and various local events and programs. Education is a powerful tool and CHI's motto, "Education is strength" is an indication of their goals "to empower, educate, and provide for children; without the limitation of borders."
This is a great organization doing great things! I have volunteered for this organization for many years. Last year I recieved CHI's volunteer of the year award. I am so thankful for everything CHI has done to enhance my skills and everything they do for the community.
I have been to many of CHI's events and listened to the stories told. This is an amazing grassroots nonprofit doing exceptional things in Africa and in Sonoma County.

This "non-profit" is a scam. The other "reviewer" (J. E. B.) is the one person on the board, so don't believe a thing he says. Perhaps the only children it's helping are his. Do some serious research before sending him a dime,

(Hindi language film with English subtitles)
Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) adds her angry voice to the cinema of forgotten children in this wrenching drama of an 11-year-old boy (real-life street child Shafiq Syed) who heads to the big city and joins a sea of homeless children and down-and-out adults scrambling to survive the pitiless streets. The fantasy of Bollywood dreams hangs just out of reach in posters, movies, and radio tunes, momentary respites from the hard reality of a world ruled by brutal pimps and drug dealers.

If looks could kill, anyone that tuned into The Today Show this morning probably would have been dead by breakfast. Martha Stewart's daughter Alexis, alongside her former collaborator and friend Jennifer Koppelman-Hutt, visited the program to promote their book Whateverland and, apparently, make everyone terribly, terribly uncomfortable. When asked if the book – in which Stewart writes, among other things, that she felt as though she had "a glue gun pointed at my head" growing up with a famous mom – is an attack on her mother, the author simply stated, "It's not a book about my mother. It's a book about growing up and learning to live with what happened or didn't happen." (For the record, on her own show, Martha referred to the book as "hilarious" and "enlightening.")
But it wasn't the icy responses to the questions about Martha that would have made even David Brent uncomfortable and Nina Garcia cower in fear: It was the interaction between Stewart and Koppelman-Hutt, who have "broken up" since writing the book and working on their radio show together. Some of Stewart's gems: "If you want to punish somebody, never talking to them again is a really good method," "Some people are very clingy and some people like to be by themselves," and "I'm very close to my mother, but not a single other person in my family." (In case you were wondering, Koppelman-Hutt is very close to her entire family.) If you can handle it, watch the entire awkward clip below.

Integrating your accessories.
As frame engineers continue to refine and rework their road frames and forks in order to build more aerodynamic machines, so too are component manufacturers going back to the drawing board in search of more efficient, wind-cheating designs. While we all know that the more accessories we bolt on and attach to our machines decreases our overall aerodynamics, there are certain components that have become staples on our bikes. You know exactly what we're referring to: those bulbous, unsightly computers that stand out like sails in the wind on our bars and stems.
This is where 3T comes in, as its engineers have been providing professional cyclists with some of the world's best componentry for more than 50 years. 3T took the traditional cockpit design and flipped it on its head, morphing it into an incredibly lightweight and rigid stem, shroud, and navigation dashboard all in one. It's called the Integra LTD, as it readily integrates your Garmin Edge head units, which, according to 3T, "improves security, aerodynamics, and appearance."
The system works in several ways. The stem includes a sleek 'cap' that conceals the mounting bolts in an elegant and aerodynamic manner. This shroud was designed to be easily swapped out for a Garmin Integra Mount (available separately), which seamlessly integrates your Garmin computer directly into the stem. Regardless of whether you plan on running an integrated computer, the Integra LTD provides you with a much more sleek appearance than simply strapping a bulky mount to your handlebar or existing stem.
The combined weight of the full carbon stem and shroud comes in at 175g (110mm), and it includes titanium hardware. The stem was designed for road, track, and triathlon bikes but can also be used on mountain and cyclocross setups. It features a 1-1/8inch steerer diameter and a UD Gloss Black finish. The stem is available in 100, 110, 120, and 130mm lengths.

What is the clamp width on the Integra LTD stem? I have searched all over and cannot find this piece of info. I am trying to determine which aero road handlebars (which all have a limited round clamp area) will work with the Integra.
3 stars but still recommended
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
[Updated/Shortened 1-02-2016] I switched to another stem after my carbon bars started slipping after several months. The clamp is hidden by the carbon upper plate (or mount if you have it) so you can't visually see what's happening with the clamp itself. The clamp has an unusual 3-point (3-screw) top half that screws into the stem base. Your results may vary.
I originally gave this 3 stars because I liked the integrated Garmin mount, but wasn't fond of other design shortcomings, e.g. the finish on the stem doesn't quite match the finish on the mount, and I think they could have made this lighter. [Redacted unrelated comments.]

Will this fit an Edge 1000
Will this fit an Edge 1000
Hey Cadman,
This will fit he Garmin Edge 1000 provided you have the Garmin Integra Mount which can be purchased separately.
Are you 100% certain The integra garmin mount will fit the edge 1000? Everything I've read online suggests it won't and the 3t website says it accepts up to edge 810.
Have I missed something?
Does this item include the Garmin mount...
Does this item include the Garmin mount as shown in the photos?
The description says that the "garmin integra mount" is sold separately...
Where do you find the integra mount?
Strangely, I found mine (the lowest cost option I saw) on some non-cycling site like Office Depot, I don't recall exactly. Just Google it.

I have a weird issue and I can't figure it out for the life of me. Just converted my work-in-progress studio's website to WP 3.0 and immediately set out to take advantage of some of the new features. I had a Custom Post Type called "Artists" up and working great. At some point in my mucking around in the functions.php file, I mucked something up and now I cannot edit any existing posts of that type. If I create a new one, I can edit it, but the old ones cannot be edited. Here's a screenshot of the list of posts of the Artists post type to better explain what I mean.
When I hover over each item, my only option is to view it, I cannot edit, delete, or change the status of any posts that existed before I did whatever I did to much it up. There isn't even a checkbox next to them for me to perform bulk actions.
This is the relevant code in my functions.php file:
add_action('init', 'create_artist');
function create_artist() {
$artist_args = array(
'label' => __('artists'),
'singular_label' => __('artist'),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false,
'rewrite' => true,
'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail')

bad news mate. I have been there myself training at an mma gym with a coach doing stupid sparring drills even though I got along with him outside of boxing. My advice is to just tell your coach you only want to spar once a week and when everybody else is sparring do shadow boxing or something.
Trust me, what you are doing is not just bad for you boxing but bad for your health. I know boxers from gyms like this who are punchy after hardly any fights.

I have heard some nasty comments about the constant use of P2P like software would seriously damage the normal hard drive, would it have the same level of negative effect on SSD? Thanks.
I am not an engineer or a storage expert, so definitely take this appropriately, but here's my understanding:
SSDs do not have any practical (or even actual?) concerns when it comes to read operations, which means that no matter how many times you read from the drive, it will not degrade its performance or reliability. In terms of P2P applications, that would mean for example that you can seed or upload indefinitely without ever running into any problems.
SSDs do have a write limitation though, and today these limitations are measured in millions of write cycles. According to my Internet research, this is a non-issue for the vast majority of non-enterprise users. This page, for instance, refers to effective life spans of 51 and 85 years for two modern drives given calculations based on relatively heavy usage.
According to that, then, you have nothing to fear even if you are constantly downloading with your P2P application.
However, from what i've heard, most modern SSD failures are caused by dying or malfunctioning controllers, not issues with the storage chips themselves. That means it is still possible for the drive to die in spite of the fact that the memory storing the data itself is still OK. The parts in the drive are rated for hundreds of thousands of hours (i.e. dozens of years), so this is not supposed to happen either, but i guess controllers are still maturing.
In short i would speculate that there is not any practical issue with it unless you are an extraordinarily heavy user or the drive has a bad controller (in which case it'd eventually die anyway).
I guess it's possible to tax a hard drive when seeding (providing to others) multiple large files, as the memory cache would fill up to capacity and the drive would be seeking a lot to read random chunks of those files. It's also possible that disk sleep settings and the level of disk activity are such that the drive is turning off and on relatively often, shorting its lifetime.
Neither of those reasons apply to an SSD. SSD mostly wears out due to writes, and P2P seeding doesn't incur a lot of writing (maybe logs, at most). P2P downloading would not wear an SSD out any faster than just downloading those files in an ordinary fashion.
If anything, your problem is likely to be running out of disk space, as P2P programs will quickly consume tons of disk space while SSDs are still very expensive per-GB.

Building a dynamic blacklist with Netfilter's Recent module
Netfilter's Recent module builds a temporary blacklist to keep intruders off your network.
When an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) recognizes an attack, it issues a strict "keep out" order to block the intruder's access to services. Unfortunately, other systems on the network might not benefit from this block. The Recent module by Netfilter dynamically updates the firewall access rules to create a temporary "bad guy" list. You can then configure the firewall rules so that an IP address that breaks a rule is temporarily prevented from any form of access. Recent also comes with special features for fighting port scans, and you can combine the Recent module with an external application such as Snort to create a fast and effective framework for detecting and closing out network attacks.

Interesting reading regarding our debts;http://anthonyvickers.boroblogs.co.uk/2009/05/relegation-loom.html
A very interesting and informative article CJ as indeed were the comments to article. I have been very surprised by Steve Gibson's silence in the last few months in fact nothing from him really since he insisted Downing was staying until at least the end of the season. I wonder if he regrets that decision now. Could it be that Downing regains his fitness whilst still a Boro player and regains his match fitness until the end of 2010 season. Surely his World Cup 2010 possibilities are negligible now? I see our magnificent fourth estate has Tuncay on his way, followed rapidly by Aliadiere, O'Neil, Alves & Huth. If they are under contract, would you not think Gibson might insist they stay ....... unless of course Boro need the money

Tag archives for poultry plants
For the just the second time in 10 years, OSHA issued citations to a poultry company for repetitive motion hazards that cause musculoskeletal injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Final USDA poultry rule: Line speeds stay the same, but no word from OSHA; food safety advocates call it a step backwards
For 17 years, Salvadora Roman deboned chickens on the processing line at Wayne Farms in Decatur, Alabama. Because of the repetitive movement and speed of the processing line, Roman developed a chronic and painful hand injury that affects her ability to do even the most basic household chores. About three years ago, she was fired from the plant for taking time off work to visit a doctor for the injury she sustained on the line.
Salmonella, crippled workers, tortured chickens, and toxic chemicals: Surely USDA is now ready to ditch its plan to "modernize" poultry inspection
How much more evidence does Secretary Vilsack need before he scraps the USDA's ill-conceived proposal to "modernize" the poultry slaughter inspection process?
Pilgrim's Pride is the world's second largest poultry producer. The firm's repeat violations of chemical process safety management should earn them OSHA's severe violator label.

Love it. Easy to make and a great companion to many Asian sauces. I used the Hoisin-Peanut Sauce in my recipe "Thai Basil Rolls With Hoisin-Peanut Sauce". Made for ZWT #6 and I'm a Quisine Queen!!
This was okay. Nothing special, in my opinion, as far as tofu recipes go: There are more exciting things to do with it.
wow...love it. I took the fried tofu cubes, added some steamfresh broccoli, poured on some bottled peanut sauce, mixed it together...yummy dinner in like 15 minutes :-) Thanks
quick easy and good way to use up leftover tofu! thanks!
This was great! I added crushed peppers to the dry marinade. The tofu could have been served on its own, but I put it on a plate with blanched broccoli and served it with the peanut butter sauce from #119671 as a dip. It was well received as an appetizer at a friend's New Year's Eve party. I recommend squeezing the tofu out using the instructions from Asian Style Savory Baked Tofu. Thanks a lot for this one!
This was a Great Appetizer! Thanks for sharing! :))
These are tasty! I ate them with Thai Crystal Sauce. This recipe reminded me of deep fried stinky tofu that I used to eat in Taiwan, but was missing the pungent flavor and pickled veg.
What a delicious way to make tofu! I didn't have firm tofu. I used med but it worked out well that way. My sesame seeds stuck just fine. That was probably because my tofu was fairly wet since it was med and not firm. I really liked the spicy peanut sauce but didn't try the other sauces.
Ooh this was fabulous! My sesame seeds didn't stick, tho. :( When the tofu came out of the frypan, i tossed it back in with the sesame seeds before serving. Everybody loved this! Made for the Asian Forum's Soy Tag 4/08.
What a nice way to fry up tofu. The sesame seeds give it a very nice flavour. The tofu came out crispy on the outside and nice & soft inside. I served it with garlic plum sauce.

Banned Books Project
For your research project this semester, you will be dealing with challenged/banned books. In this unit, you will research a book that has been banned or challenged somewhere at sometime. The possibilities are vast, although some banned books will be off limits, those too sophisticated or too simplistic: the choice has to be age-appropriate. You also need to choose a book you have not read previously.
Each of you, then, will become an expert on a challenged book. You will want to address several questions: Why was the book challenged? By whom? What restrictions were the challengers seeking? What case was made against the book? How did others in the community/country/world react? What did the "experts" think about the challenge? Was the challenge successful? Class time and library help will be given to your research.
1. Once you know the story of the challenge and the book, you will write a proposal to your parents explaining the background of the book and asking their permission to read the book for this unit. Should your parents refuse to sign, you must either begin again -- under some serious time constraints -- or revise your proposal to make it acceptable to your parents. Your signed proposal is due March 4.
2. Having researched the case involving the book and gotten permission to read the work, you will need to secure a copy of the book immediately, either through the library, purchase, or a friend. You will have a week to read your book. During that week we will have no other English homework but we will be covering other material in class. Given the time constraints, I suggest you chose a book that is not overly lengthy for your reading pace. After you read the book, you will write a brief synopsis of the story, no more than one page, single spaced. The synopsis is due March 12.
3. After reading your book, you will write an analysis evaluating the case against the book and offering your "expert" opinion on the value of the book and its challenge. Were the arguments against the book valid or not and why? For this evaluation, assume that you will be posting your "expert" opinion on a blog or internet site, so your audience will be the general reading public or, perhaps, a student or parent looking for material on your book. This analysis needs to be thorough and well-supported, but it should not include a plot summary. You should find other, outside, documented sources to support your view of the book. The analysis will be due March 15.
In summary, then:
Part 1: present a history of the challenge, the issues involved, and write a "Proposal to Read" (40%)
Part 2: Read the text then write a brief synopsis (20%)
Part 3: Evaluate the book and its challenge, posting your response on the class blog (40%)
Documentation: Since this is a research unit and the material you will be gathering is neither personal nor common knowledge, you will need to document extensively. MLA format is the standard you must meet. In order to be prepared for such documentation, you will need to keep careful, accurate, thorough notes of any source you consult, on-line or off. Both the Proposal (Part 1) and the Evaluation (Part 3), then, will need in-text documentation and a "Works Cited" area at the end. Some class time will be devoted to all of this, but you should depend heavily on the MLA Handbook. Ignorance may be bliss, but it is no excuse. The librarians will prove an invaluable aid on this part.
Grade: A hard copy of all three sections will be turned in to the teacher as we reach them. (See above due dates) Grading on Part 1 and Part 3 will primarily focus on correct documentation, but content and style will also be part of the mix. On Part 2, the grade will be primarily based on a clear, thorough, well-written synopsis. Part 1 is worth forty points, Part 2 twenty points, and Part 3 forty points, for a total of one hundred points.
