WHAT are we to make of the fire crew, police and paramedics who stood timidly at the edge of a Hampshire boating lake watching a man's body float nearby?
As we reported this week, the body of 41-year-old Simon Burgess lay in water 3ft deep for half an hour after rescue services arrived until a boat could be found.
Onlookers told officers when they arrived that Mr Burgess had only been in the water for five minutes and implored them to act.
Whether or not attempting to move Mr Burgess from the lake at Gosport's Walpole Lake would have saved his life isn't known. An inquest into his accidental death could not confirm such actions would have prevented him from drowning.
But while such facts are important to Mr Burgess's distraught family, just as worrying for the rest of us is the question as to why so many emergency personnel stood inactive when the normal reaction of any human being would be to wade out the short distance and render assistance.
Was it a case of good old health and safety gone mad once again?
To be fair, both a police officer and a paramedic who arrived at the scene did volunteer to wade out, but were ordered not to do so by fire personnel. Why fire officers have the ability to command the police is not clear. In the case of a burning building it is easy to see why fire officers should be in control. But at a boating lake?
And do such instructions overrule common sense and decency?
In short, should the medical officer and the policeman have simply just waded in putting human life before petty command structures?
Of course they should have, but that is just one part of the puzzling behaviour we witnessed here.
Even stranger is the statement from Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service that in fact the instructions given to their team and other emergency personnel present to wait at the water's edge had nothing to do with health and safety nor the depth of the water.
They didn't go to the rescue because they could see no signs of life. Which begs the question of how they knew for certain, why they didn't allow a trained medical man to go and check, and why, when the police officer present pressed to be permitted to attempt a rescue he was ordered to stay where he was.
It's difficult to remain calm when stepping back from all these facts and considering the scene and the actions of those involved.
It is difficult to understand how anyone, let alone those whose duty it is to save lives, could stand by and allow a man's body to float in 3ft of water just yards away for half an hour when they had no certain knowledge he could not be saved.
All of this I find very difficult to understand. I know I am not alone.
I know I would have waded out.
Human decency would have caused me to act. I am not a hero, I am not all that brave.
I have nothing but admiration usually for those who serve in the fire service, the police and our paramedics who often wade into danger to the aid of others.
I do not believe it was cowardice nor a lack of compassion that left them stranded at the water's edge.
It was silly, stupid procedures and a culture of fear – fear of blame, fear of reprimand, fear of breaking ranks.
Am I surprised then that Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service having investigated the incident and made changes to their procedures – changes they have not revealed – still issued a statement supporting the actions of their staff and crew on that dreadful day?
No, sadly I am not surprised, just saddened.

This isn't a simple moral issue: to be good, one must turn off the television. Rather, it's a question of value. If time with our friends is worthy and rewarding, then we might need to be clearer about how to best encourage this; we could be more decisive in our own daily rhythms, more sensitive to what labours closeness requires.(Photo: Jeroen Kransen)
Unlike the idiot box, we can't do intimacy by remote.

G'day Day,
That's all very well and good, but have you seen some of the great new obstacles featured in UK Wipeout? Or some of the zingy one-liners in quality sitcoms such as Two and a half men? I mean, I'm only flesh and blood, man.

You're right. I'm convinced.
As Joey from Friends would say: "Well, that's never happened before."
Ho, ho. Oh, the laughs we used to have with those crazy characters.
Ho ho.

I followed the link and read the whole article and I loved the line:
"In short, we need to talk: it's how we keep knotting and tangling the ties that bind us."
I also loved the comments it excited beneath the article! e.g. "Jesus loves you". What does that have to do with television? But otherwise, a fantastic counter argument!

PF: Great episode.
TAF-M: Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I've no idea what 'Jesus loves you' meant in that case. But it read like the perfect reply to me.

Fall garden
Mums lead the annuals' fall parade
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Union Leader | September 16. 2013 6:28PM
There is still plenty of planting time left and fall has much to offer by way of beautiful color and pleasant garden surprises.When it comes to color, perennials like roses and hydrangea are still in bloom and still good for planting, said Lisa Mills, owner of Nicole's Greenhouse and Florist in Pembroke. For gardeners looking for something a little smaller, Brown-Eyed Susans are still in color.
For those already looking forward to spring now is the time to plant bulbs for those early Spring flowers like crocus, daffodils and forsythia. Shady-spot flowers like azaleas and rhododendrons can also be planted now.

5 Dow Dividend Stocks to Beat the S&P - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Do you have any dogs in your portfolio? You should.
>>5 Hated Earnings Stocks That You Should Love
As stocks shake off their correction over the last month, the big question most investors' minds is which names make sense to build a position in now. With quality names still taking the lead in 2013's rally, the "Dogs of the Dow" provide a pretty viable answer.
For the last two decades, the Dogs of the Dow has been one of the most widely circulated investment strategies out there, offering individual investors with simple formula to beat the market: Simply buy the 10 highest-yielding Dow stocks, rebalance once a year and hold on. So should you be buying the dogs this summer?
>>5 Stock Charts You Need to See
When Michael O'Higgins introduced his strategy in 1991, it took the market by storm; backtesting showed that the Dogs of the Dow strategy significantly beat the broad market from the 1920s on. The justification was that the big names of the Dow don't kowtow to market conditions, so their high dividends reflect strong fundamentals trading cheaply. But the strategy got a black eye during the 1990s, when it trailed the market by a significant clip.
It shouldn't have been a huge surprise that the Dogs of the Dow failed to beat the market during the bull run of the 1990s. During the tech bubble, staid Dow names couldn't possibly move as much as the more volatile tech names that were gaining increasing weight in market indices. While some market watchers have written off the Dogs strategy as a case of data mining bias gone awry, the fundamental argument for buying high-yielding Dow stocks negates at least part of that argument.
That's especially true in the zero-rate environment we're in now.
>>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
My own research shows that paring down the Dogs of the Dow to a more concentrated portfolio of five stocks, rather than 10, has delivered some stellar outperformance in the last decade without ramping up the risk. So today, we'll take a closer look at five Dogs of the Dow stocks.
2013 is turning out to be a pretty tepid year for AT&T (T). The $50 billion communications stock is effectively flat year-to-date, ignoring the ups and downs along the way. But investors' returns haven't exactly been zero. AT&T's massive dividend payout currently works out to a 5.06% annual yield. That dividend gives it top billing on our list today.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy for Earnings Season
AT&T is the incumbent telephone company in many parts of the country, but the firm is better known for its AT&T mobility business, which boasts more than 92 million cellular subscribers. That customer Rolodex makes AT&T the second-largest wireless carrier in the U.S. AT&T created a coup when it began offering the iPhone in 2007, enjoying nearly four years of exclusivity with the extremely popular device. Today, approximately 40% of AT&T's customers are iPhone users, a heavy skew towards the higher revenues per user that smartphone customers bring in. As AT&T continues to convert its existing cellular users to smartphones, margins and sales should still have room to expand.
While AT&T's cellular business may have more visibility, investors shouldn't forget about the firm's legacy fixed line business. Those landlines provide significant cash flows, and the infrastructure offers a reasonably deep economic moat. Bundled packages provide a growth platform for AT&T's fixed lines, even if they're less exciting than mobile. With a payout ratio of just 50%, AT&T has another $10 billion in free cash flows that it can potentially use to reward investors.
Even though AT&T trades for a relatively hefty earnings multiple, its dividend payout more than makes up for the appearance of a high price tag on shares.
Intel (INTC) owns the PC processor market. Unfortunately for the chipmaker, industry headwinds in the computer business have made its 80% market share in microprocessors look slightly less appealing in the last few years. Intel's revenues dipped in 2012 after a strong showing in 2011, and net margins are on the decline three years running. But that doesn't change the fact that investors are overcompensating their unloading of this tech titan.
>>4 Big Under-$10 Stocks Making Big Moves
Despite the dip in sales, Intel's numbers are massive. The firm generated $53 billion in sales last year, and it turned $11 billion of that into profit. For the $115 billion chipmaker, that's like turning 10 cents of every dollar invested back into profits. That's too low of a multiple for this business. While computer manufacturers see their profits get eaten away from commoditization, Intel's impact has been much more tolerable; after all, eight out of 10 PCs get their processors from Intel.
Intel has an important connection with AT&T: mobile devices. The huge turnover in the mobile device market -- both phones and tablets -- is a huge opportunity for Intel right now. While Intel is the underdog in the mobile space, that just means that there's room for the firm to materially grow its top line. Currently, Intel's dividend weighs in at 3.89%, making it one of the highest-yielding blue-chips in the tech sector.
Verizon Communications
AT&T's top rival, $145 billion Verizon Communications (VZ), is another name that makes our list of Dow Dogs. Verizon, like AT&T, is a major mobile and fixed-line communications carrier, boasting a landline network that reaches one in four U.S. homes and a mobile phone network that's 100 million customers strong.
>>Invest in Venture Capital's 5 Favorite Stocks
While Verizon Wireless is the biggest phone carrier in the country, VZ isn't the largest mobile carrier stock. The reason? Overseas carrier Vodafone (VOD) owns 45% of Verizon Wireless -- which means that VZ shareholders "only" lay claim to around 55 million wireless subscribers. A considerable chunk of Verizon's efforts (and its CapEx) have been spent on its wireline networks in recent years. The firm spun off many of its legacy assets to Frontier Communications (FTR) in order to bankroll its costly FiOs fiber optic network. FiOs isn't cheap (some estimates put CapEx costs at $4,000 per installed home), but it's the future of residential and commercial connectivity.
By biting the bullet on infrastructure spending now, Verizon gains a dramatically better network than peers at a time when rates are next to zero and most big cash generators are looking for a better way to invest their corporate treasuries.
That's not to say Verizon has been ignoring conventional means of peeling off its cash. The firm currently shells out a 4.04% dividend yield that, while not as hefty as AT&T's, is plenty substantial in its own right. While Verizon's business is capital intense and its debt load is hefty, subscriptions create plenty of cash to keep on rewarding shareholders too.
Along with the rest of the pharmaceutical industry, Merck (MRK) is having a good year in 2013. Shares of the $143 billion big pharma company have rallied more than 16% year-to-date, besting the S&P 500's impressive performance by about 100 basis points. Then, tack on a 3.61% dividend yield to the equation.
>>5 Summer Buy Signals From the Health Care Sector
Merck has been busy in recent years. While the guillotine of patent drop-offs has been edging closer and closer to big pharma's neck, Merck has been hard at work adding attractive new products to its pipeline -- and bringing them to market. While the firm already lost patent protection on its blockbuster asthma drug Singulair in August 2012, the loss is being offset by newcomers such as diabetes drug Januvia and HPV vaccine Gardasil. Merck is considerably U.S.-biased; the firm still earns half of its revenues stateside, a fact that should get a boost from healthcare initiatives that increase access to pharmaceuticals.
With a net cash and investment position of almost $8 billion, Merck has the wherewithal to keep on building its pipeline without turning to the capital markets. The firm's hefty net margins should keep those coffers stuffed in 2013 and beyond.
DuPont (DD) built a $34 billion annual chemical and materials business through innovation. The firm's labs have been the birthplace of technologies like Kevlar, Nomex, Tyvek, and Corian. More recently, though, DuPont has been carving out a lucrative niche in the agricultural chemical world, building up its genetically modified seed business and becoming one of the key suppliers of crop seeds in the world. That's helped to fuel double-digit margins in the bottom line and top-line numbers that have eclipsed pre-recession revenues in each of the last two years.
>>5 Stocks That Have Yet to Recover Form 2008
DuPont's considerable diversification is one of its most attractive attributes. Because the firm earns its sales across a handful of disparate industries, it's able to smooth out the cyclical ups and downs that usually harangue chemical companies. The acquisition of Danisco in 2011 furthers that diversification by adding a mature food additives business to the mix. New R&D efforts at Danisco to produce biofuels and a new synthetic rubber could add important new business to DuPont's books as well.
Because DuPont is a big ship to turn around, changes to the firm's sales mix have been relatively slow. Even so, there's a lot to like about a management team that is willing to forego near-term success in favor of longer-term profits. Right now, DuPont pays out a 3.34% dividend yield, enough to round out the top five Dogs of the Dow.

ODOT hopes to ease some traffic headaches on I-90 in Lake County
(Garfield Heights) Safety is the number one priority for the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP). Following last week's accidents in the I-90 construction zone in Lake County, these two agencies have partnered to implement safety upgrades throughout the work zone.
On Saturday, December 28, ODOT crews placed construction barrels along the right shoulder of I-90 eastbound between State Route 44 and Vrooman Road.
Contractors, Allega Cement Contractor Inc. and Great Lakes Construction Co. will be adding additional barrels with steady burn amber lights to help motorists better identify the edge of the roadway. "These construction barrels will help motorist navigate the edge of the pavement to avoid driving onto the soft shoulders," said ODOT District 12 Deputy Director, Myron Pakush. "The steady burn lights will help motorists while traveling this corridor at night and during snow and ice events."
For increased stabilization, the contractor will be adding a three-foot temporary concrete shoulder at various locations along I-90 eastbound in the next two weeks that will strengthen the existing soft shoulder.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol will be increasing enforcement efforts in this area to regulate motorists' speed through the work zone.
These patrols will occur seven days a week. "When traveling through this construction zone, motorists need to be cognizant of the posted reduced speed limit of 55 mph," stated Lieutenant Mark Neff, Commander of the Chardon Highway Police Post. "When weather conditions warrant, motorists need to lower their speed further and maintain sufficient distance from the vehicle they are following in the event traffic slows or stops suddenly."
Radar speed trailers will be placed at various locations east and westbound to display motorists' current speed along with additional 'Reduced Speed Ahead' and 55 mph speed limit signs to encourage them to obey the posted speed limit.
Trucks using I-90 eastbound east of SR 44 are currently directed to use the left lane and additional signage will be added to remind them.
During snow and ice events, ODOT has dedicated six snowplows to plow and salt I-90 around the clock to ensure the work zone is safe and clear for the motoring public.
Together ODOT and OSHP are committed to implementing these upgrades for the safety of the motoring public. Get breaking news sent to your mobile phone.Text "news" to 21095.

Since Botiz asked, I don't want to hijack a thread.
I just got back from slaying reds on the Kenai River. Runs were producing huge numbers close to last years records. We had no problem getting limits!
We stayed/fished just outside Soldotna, AK, far enough from the true "combat fishing" of the Russian River.
Also hiked to some lakes too to throw flies, no trout were caught but we did work on the grayling. My brother and dad have all the grayling pics. (Dads still up there....)

Thanks for the feedback bluebee,My thinking was not so much that they were overheating but that they should be in cluster. I assume if they stay too active they are going to burn through their stores quite a bit faster?I was also wondering if the fanning might be about trying to reduce interior humidity? Although it really didn't seem very wet from what i could see...at least not compared to reports of dripping hives I have read.This nuc was PACKED when I transferred them a few weeks ago, the other was less so and I left it closed up on top. I was thinking of leaving the stronger one open on top as is untill the cold really settles in and then closing it back up.I know Robo keeps the winter nucs without venting but those are the 1"foam....Probably I should just leave them the heck alone, but I get so darn curious.Where did you get that little IR probe? And what did it cost?
Windfall, I found my bees fanning last night at the door when it was 31F outside. However it was only 64F inside, so I don't know why exactly they were fanning. Maybe they saw my flash light and that triggered them to scent the entrance? I don't know. I do know it wasn't too hot in the hive.Unless you've got a lot more bees and brood in your foam nucs than I do, I can't imagine they're really overheating in Vermont at this time of year. My hives are running about 30F above the outside temp and unless it gets into the mid 60s here again (unlikely), I'm not going to open my top vent any further. I've got the top vents in my nucs open to about 12mm x 3mm + any imperfections in my construction. Really a pretty small vent. I just want it big enough vent to water vapor + CO2 and draw in needed fresh O2. Too big and you start defeating the benefits of the insulation. Sounds like you've opened a top vent with an area of 48 sq mm. That is close to what I am using. Your bees might still be raising fall brood (based on the report of them sucking up water) and hence I would be cautious about cooling them off too much.

Ask Dr. Dolamore: Possible poison contamination of pet treats
April 23, 2012
Despite repeated warnings issued by the FDA, veterinarians are reporting new cases of dogs developing symptoms of kidney failure (Fanconi syndrome) similar to dogs who have been poisoned by Chinese-made chicken jerky treats, but this time they are being poisoned with a whole new class of treats: sweet potato treats imported from China.
The brands veterinarians say are associated with the new cases of unexplained acute kidney failure are: Canyon Creek Ranch Chicken Yam Good Dog Treats (Nestle-Purina), Beefeaters Sweet Potato Treats (16 types of yam-related treats), Drs. Foster and Smith (exact item not specified in the report) and Dogswell Veggie Life Vitality (four types of Veggie Life brands)
It is important to remember that although the type of treat most often mentioned in the press is described as a jerky treat, the treats may also be called by a myriad of other names such as stix, chips, poppers, tenders, drumettes, kabobs, strips, fries, lollipops, twists, wraps, bars, tops and discs.
The report goes on to say that there is speculation the problems may also extend to pork treats and cat treats imported from China.
The FDA is advising consumers who choose to feed their dogs chicken jerky products to watch their dogs closely for any or all of the following signs that may occur within hours to days of feeding the products: decreased appetite; decreased activity; vomiting; diarrhea, sometimes with blood; increased water consumption and/or increased urination. If the dog shows any of these signs, stop feeding the chicken jerky product. Owners should consult their veterinarian if signs are severe or persist for more than 24 hours. Blood tests may indicate kidney failure (increased urea nitrogen and creatinine). Urine tests may indicate Fanconi syndrome (increased glucose). Although most dogs appear to recover, some reports to the FDA have involved dogs that have died.
The FDA, in addition to several animal health diagnostic laboratories in the U.S., is working to determine why these products are associated with illness in dogs. FDA's Veterinary Laboratory Response Network (VLRN) is now available to support these animal health diagnostic laboratories. To date, scientists have not been able to determine a definitive cause for the reported illnesses. FDA continues extensive chemical and microbial testing but has not identified a contaminant.
The FDA continues to actively investigate the problem and its origin. Many of the illnesses reported may be the result of causes other than eating chicken jerky. Veterinarians and consumers alike
should report cases of animal illness associated with pet foods to the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator in their state or go to http://www.fda.gov/petfoodcomplaints.
Most affected dogs have recovered over time with good supportive care.
We strongly recommend that you check the source of all cat or dog treats you may have purchased, and do not give them to your pet if they were made in China. It would be best to avoid any pet food or treat products made in China, and probably a good idea to avoid all dried animal parts, because they are not heated to a temperature that will kill pathogenic bacteria.

text: The old thread like this I created is still on the board. But I've done a lot of research and thought a lot about this the past week or two. I have a new plan, and sometimes these things are sort of lost in the 9th page of a thread. First of all, PERSONNEL. I've been getting really into the advanced analytics side of things recently. There appear to be three prominent sets of data. Basketball Reference's WS (total) and WS/48 (efficiency), John Hollinger's EWA (total) and PER (efficiency), and - the new one - Ilardi's WAR (total) and RPM (efficiency). It's hard to pick one, as all three seem to be theoretically sound, and return very different results.. So, I combined them. I took the top 50 overall players in each of the six categories, I found their rankings in all (six) of the categories, and I averaged them out into a FINAL blueadams ranking. The '04 Pistons might've not had a superstar, but they did have 4-6 of the top 50 players in the league, and I think that's still the model here.. hence my choice to find the top-50. *I'll be happy to share this data with the board as soon as I'm able to make it presentable enough. Based on this data, I have a new plan.. #1) Drummond rated as the 40th best player in the league. Monroe rated as the 50th best player in the league. That's 2/5. I prefer to keep -- and build on -- what's here, rather than to move half of it. In truth, I still think the Drummond-Monroe combination works (but not with Smith). It makes us the best rebounding, post-defending and post-scoring team on the court most nights, and that's a hell of a great thing to be. Monroe might never be the Tim Duncan-mid-range machine that we want him to be, but as he and Drummond's offensive games develop, and chemistry between the two (without Smith) is developed, I think it'll make for a fine front-court. Monroe might always struggle against stretch 4's too, but many of them are going to struggle with him too, and I LOVE Tony Mitchell's potential. He and Drummond's athleticism together in the front-court makes me drool. I think he could be an excellent anti-stretch-4 off the bench sooner than later, and I want to see him getting a lot more PT next season. #2) Some salaries need to be moved in order for my plan to work. Either "Smith" or "Jennings, Jerebko and Datome or Bynum". ---Is there an at all realistic chance that Jerebko could be talked into not picking up his player option? I don't hate Jerebko. But his 4.5M salary is way too much. He hasn't (and I think "isn't going to") turned into what I'd hoped he could. He's been here too long, and his on and off-court attitude isn't what it used to be. Plus, I prefer Mitchell at his spot off the bench, and I'd really like to see him get minutes. I guess he wouldn't be impossible to move if he picks up the option. He's a talented stretch-4 offensively. He's solid defensively. He's relatively young. His attitude isn't a "problem". There are teams out there that could take on $4.5M. ---Is there an at all realistic chance that Datome could be talked into going back to Europe? He seemed to be 'the man' in whatever league he was in out there, and I'm sure he enjoyed it. Look. No one's seen enough of Datome to know what he is. But based on what I have seen (poor shooting, defense and about everything else in a small sample size), I'm comfortable moving on. I plan to move Smith and to bring in a new starting 2 and 3, I like Singler and KCP off the bench at the wing, $1.9M is a significant salary, and Datome's just going to rot on my bench. I guess he wouldn't be impossible to include as a throw-away in a bigger deal. ---I like Bynum. For a time there, he was "my guy". But I plan to move Jennings, to bring in a new starting 1, I LOVE Siva as my third point guard, and I'd like to have a (sorry WB) better backup. He shouldn't be impossible to move. Some talent. Not an attitude problem. Not a big salary. ---I hate Jennings, and under no circumstances do I want him to have anything to do with this team. Personal feelings aside, strictly speaking statistically, he is just a terrible player. He's still a name. He's 24. He scores 16ppg. Perhaps there's a struggling franchise lacking a point guard out there that needs to excite their fan base and sell some tickets this summer? That's our best hope. If I couldn't move him, I'd put him on waivers and tell him to stay home (seriously) until something got worked out. ---I hate Smith, too, and under no circumstances do I want him to have anything to do with this team. Again, personal feelings aside, strictly speaking statistically, he is just a terrible player. Beyond that, he is just an especially terrible player here, at the 3. He IS a great talent, though. His WAR did rank 38th in the league (which we'll need to sell). He is a name. He is exciting. He does sell tickets. His salary isn't absurd. He could be a great, great 4 under the right circumstances, elsewhere. It'd be a tough sell, but not impossible. #3) Goran Dragic (27) is the most underrated player in the league. By my calculations, he's actually the 9th best player in the league. The Suns were shopping him all season -- in part because he plans to leave as a FA next season (idk what's going on there), in part because they want to make Eric Bledsoe the face of their franchise, and they don't like the Bledsoe-Dragic back-court combination (for some reason?--it works). He's an undersized 2-guard, for sure, but he's obviously been more than holding his own at that position statistically (really, I can't emphasize this question enough--how many big, super athletic, great scoring 2-guards are there in the league today?). Should we ever encounter someone who gives him problems, he can run the point and I like KCP as a defensive match-up off the bench (it also helps to have a big front-court, Drummond and Monroe, behind him). How do we get him? I like the talent at 7/8 in the '14 draft, but not as much as I like Dragic, and I have an idea that might not be terrible. There IS going to be an exciting, big-name, young prospect available there. I'm sure the Suns would love to turn Dragic into someone like that, who -- in their opinion -- is a better fit alongside Bledsoe (they're also going to have two mid-1st-rd. picks...so they could actually build something exciting out there). Think they'd take our 1st rd. pick AND Josh Smith in exchange for Dragic? It works on the trade machine with a minimal contract addition on the part of the Suns. Bledsoe's a super athletic point guard that likes to get out and run. Smith, alongside Morris, is actually a pretty ideal situation for them in the front-court. Just an idea, but it could work. If not, I think the pick on its own would be enough to make it happen. #4) Kyle Lowry (27) is the second most underrated player in the league. By my calculations, he's actually the 11th best player in the league. He's also an UFA. He's also projected -- by ESPN Insider's Free Agent guy -- to sign a contract in the annual 5.7M range. I'd happily pay twice that. This is a no-brainer move, IMO. #5) Trevor Ariza (28) is probably our next best free agent option. There's not going to be enough left to make a significant move after we part with that pick. I've evaluated the market, and Ariza is our next best option. By my calculations, he's the 58th best player in the league, and that's the best we're going to do. If Lowry's projected to make 5.7M, then I'm guessing Ariza (who isn't even on ESPN's top-30 FA list) is expected to make less. #6) Chris Anderson (35), PO, from Miami, is also really, really underrated. By my calculations, he's actually the 33rd best player in the league, and he doesn't rate in ESPN's top-30 FA's either. He looks like a moron, but he does bring a little edge, and I think he'd make for an excellent backup big off the bench. Defends, rebounds, scores efficiently. #7) Patty Mills (25), UFA, from San Antonio, is also really, really underrated. By my calculations, he's actually the 38th best player in the league, and he doesn't rate in ESPN's top-30 FA's either. Nor does Isaiah Thomas (24, RFA), who ranks 24th in the league by my calculations. But I prefer Mills because he'll be cheaper not being restricted, and also because he's a better combo with Lowry--as he's an EXCELLENT 3-pt shooter. I also just love the idea of bringing in a Popovich-Parker-groomed backup point. So, your 2014-15 Pistons: C: A. Drummond, C. Anderson, J. Harrellson PF: G. Monroe, T. Mitchell SF: T. Ariza, K. Singler SG: G. Dragic, K. C-Pope PG: K. Lowry, P. Mills, P. Siva Reserves(?/traded/at home): Jennings, Jerebko, Bynum, Datome I love that team and IMO, it's a legit NBA title contender (depending on what happens with LeBron..).

I'll appologise to all the 'non-thick' people, as i'm probably being really thick. I'm fairly new to digital photography, am and just starting to experiment with filters.....
However i've found it quite hard to figure out which filters do what..... I'm sure i can't be the only newbie who's had trouble with this. I'm not entirely thick, as many are self explanitary, or quite commonly used, like polarising filters etc....
But i was wondering if anybody knows of any resources that say (or have examples of) what some of the more obsecure filters do?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if people think i'm asking a very obvious question!!
Which Filters?

Nagel: Support Irvine for HD 61
October 25, 2012
I write this letter in earnest support of Debra Irvine for Colorado House District 61.
As a small business owner and well-informed American, the number one issue driving all others this election is clearly the economy and jobs. With an economy in freefall and rising unemployment, all other issues are secondary.
Debra's got my vote because she's got my back. Debra has been endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Business, which represents over 250,000 businesses nationwide. Debra won their endorsement because the NFIB members know she'll be a strong supporter of business by helping create an environment that encourages new business start-ups and existing business growth by championing lower taxes and attracting new businesses to relocate or come home to Colorado. Lower taxes equals more jobs.
Unlike her opponents who both have dismal voting records with the Colorado Union of Taxpayers – Hamner at 4.17 percent approval rating and Curry at 13 percent – Debra will work hard for not only small business owners but all Coloradans to keep more of our hard-earned money in our own pockets and keep the pilfering, greedy claws of government out!
Although her opponent, independent Democrat Kathleen Curry, claims to be fiscally conservative, she actually voted in favor of the Colorado Dirty Dozen tax bills, two of which were later repealed by the state Legislature and one was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado.
Additionally, Debra is a proponent of quality education meaning that which is measured by real results – the successes and accomplishments of students – not by how much is funneled into the system. She believes that it is critical to get back to the basics and offer strong core subjects and hold our children to tighter standards rather than pass the buck, promote failing students and produce high school graduates who must take remedial education alongside their freshmen college courses. The system is failing our students. Do we continue pouring money into a failing enterprise or do we look to results-driven change? Remember the definition of insanity? It is our responsibility as parents, as educators and as communities to offer our children only the best and encourage the challenge.
However, Debra's incumbent opponent, while admitting that the state of education is "dismal," is calling for the state to invest more into education which translates into squeezing more money from us – always the 'go to' taxpayer. One only has to look to states that spend the most on education and have the worst results: New York, New Jersey and even Washington, D.C., to understand that more money does not promise better results.
I would question what Representative Hamner hopes to accomplish in a second term that she has not during her decades in the educational system. Why did Summit County parents create the private Peak School in Breckenridge during her tenure as Summit County superintendent? Why were they not satisfied? If that is not a referendum on the state of education while she was at the helm, what is?

In December i will be moving to the NE (mentor) part of Ohio, and looking to see who out there hunts. Currently stationed in South dakota and have been hunting waterfowl for two years, and i can see why people get so hooked on the stuff. Also I have been doing what I can to help set up the local chapter out here for Delta Waterfowl and looking to still be a part of it in Ohio. So if anyone on here is involved with the crooked river chapter speak up lol.
PS. I am stationed on the west side of south dakota so I have not been spoiled by the huge tornados of ducks and geese.

I'm looking for a thin compact 9mm and .40 so I can wear them IWB. Any recommendations?
Printable View
I'm looking for a thin compact 9mm and .40 so I can wear them IWB. Any recommendations?
The Walther PPS is a great gun. Very reliable German firearm, very thin single stack. There is a few different Kahr models that are very good for conceal carry. Glock and the rest are going to be the next line of options after that I would think.
I think Khar is your best bet. I've tried some of their .40s and they seemed reliable.
The only thing smaller I can think of off the top of my head is a tiny 9mm made by Rohrbaugh. They sell for $1000+
Edit: the Kel-Tec PF-9 is another slim 9mm. I personally hated the balance and the feel of it's grip, but that's just me.
Thin is a somewhat relative term. Carry friendly weapons is a lot easier to answer. There are literally tons of 9mm and .40 caliber weapons that carry easily. What would matter is how any of these weapons will feel in your hand and how you think you would be firing the weapon(s). Some compact or sub compact weapons with shorter grips are not always all that much to hold on to after a few rounds. This is why many will look for more shooter friendly floor plates for the mags. The felt recoil that is usually a little more noticed with smaller handguns also. More muzzle flip transfers into a harder follow up shot for some shooters.
For carry I personally I don't like anything smaller than a commander length 1911s or something the size of a Sig Sauer P229. These are smaller than the full size offerings but are still very accurate yet carry really easily. The Springfield XD's, Sigs, Glock, S&W, Para Ord, Colt, FN/Browning Ruger, and many more make weapons in carry friendly styles. THey all make a pretty good weapon. It's all a matter of what's available to you and what you pick up that has the best feel when you get your hands around them. You should see what you think feels the best then you might be able to take those examples and post a "what do you think is better" thread asking the pros and cons of each. It's hard to say this is better than that when no one will have any idea how you will shoot any of them. All anyone can say right now is "get one of these because I have one and it rocks!". And it just might rock but in your hand it might not as much.
Isn't it FN that makes the thinnest handgun right now? I can't remember but I think it was them and maybe Walther after that. Anyway. Is there a range that rents weapons? that might be the best starting point. At least check out a few shops and ask to handle a couple of pistols. You will know pretty quick if it is a good fit for you.
Most all the big name gun makers build a great weapon. The task at hand now is finding the one or few that fits you best.:smt023
+1 on Kahr. I have a PM40 and I love it.
Look at the CZ Rami
I looked at all the "skinny" (single stack) 9mm and settled on the Kahr. I did not like the Walther magazine release. Others had safeties that I did not like (I carry only DAO no safety switch or 1911 platforms). Mine has been 100% reliable out of the box. I've got a Galco Matrix OWB holster for it and a Kramer ankle holster for it so far, and I'm considering an IWB for it, too. If I carry IWB, however, I usually carry a 1911 or G19. The Kahr is for "deeper" concealment situations. Good luck in your search.
++2 on the Kahr
I have the P9 and I don't even know it is there when IWB - .9" thick (wide)
Well, I KNOW it is there, I just don't feel it there.
Fr Jeff
I carry some IWB but not as much anymore. It's depends where I'm going and what I'm wearing kind of thing. I've tried smaller weapons and they just don't do it for me. I guess that is why they make so many different weapons though. No one weapon is going to work for everyone. A 1911 actually works great in an IWB and I was surprised that the 229 carried as well as it does for me IWB. I still like the OWB more anymore. Those Sig 239's are nice little weapons. I haven't carried one but they do look like they'd be great inside or outside the waistband.
+++3 on the kahr I have an older E9 steel frame very concealable one of the most accurate compacts ever:smt033
You might be right being you know as well as anyone that a good rig can make or break how a weapon carries. I have some pretty good holsters but my belt is not one of the best out there. Don't get me wrong I like it and it works well it's just not one of the big names out there. but I didn't pay big money for it either. I actually got it because I had a discount coupon at sportsmans guide..heh I have a Bianchi belt too and it's been a pretty good one over the years. Either4 one I use the 229 carries well. You hardly notice it after a while.
I am not one that tells people to get this gun or that gun being we are all different but if a small carry weapon is what you're looking for the smaller Sigs are a fantastic option. Not many weapons can give you that kind of reliability combined with the great accuracy all bundled with ease of carry. It did take a littler while to get used to a double action but I've come to like it a lot.
Heh..Big pants..
Really though the cut of the pants you wear does have a lot to do with it. Like my Dad said a tight pair of pants is like a cheap hotel...No ballroom :anim_lol:
I personally find moving the weapon around a little looking for the "groovy place" helps. Carrying IWB does take a little getting used to also. I carried around the house for a while before I tried it out in the wild. The holster has a lot do do with IWB carry too. If you can find a holster that allows for a change in thew cant of the holster to the belt that is a big help. Bianchi makes one called a 3S pistol pocket (Link) that works pretty well but it needs a real good belt to work at it's best. I use it and a Gould & Goodrich 810 Gold Line Inside Pants Holster (Link) when I'm going IWB. Gould actually has a few holsters I'd like to get but I have way too many now :smt082 I've come to the point that Gould and Bianchi are about all I use. Well, I do have a couple Safariland duty holsters I got off eBay. I have a couple Fobus holsters but I don't even use anymore.
literaltrance, what type of IWB rigs have use tried?
Currently carrying a Glock 26 which, of course, is double stack so it is a bit thick in the grip. Have ordered a Kahr CW9 which I expect to arrive next week. I also was looking for something a bit thinner. You may also want to look at Taurus' web site as they are about to introduce a thin 9mm. I believe the model is P (or PT) 709. You can view it in their new (2009) products section. I'm waiting to see a price on it.

There is little question the increasing confusion in Afghanistan concerning the correct military strategy to pursue has resulted in growing anger among the average people of that unfortunate land. President Hamid Karzai lashed out at the United States for the latest example of planes bombing suspected militant targets only to wind up killing innocent civilians. He charged at least 15 Afghan civilians died in an air strike, and emphasized such operations resulted in "strengthening the terrorists." The Sunday attack came after a Saturday air strike the US claims killed 15 militants while the Afghans insist many civilians died. American military sources insist they have pictures which depict militants fighting, but refuse to release the photos for security reasons.
The basic problem with the Obama decision to dispatch 30,000 more troops and to continue the current bombing approach is the reality neither of these actions will result in ending the conflict. There is need to win the hearts of Afghan civilians and bombing from above is hardly the way to gain such results. Karzai is a corrupt leader, but air bombing is an unsuccessful approach to fighting a guerrilla war.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by webz, Oct 2, 2009.
Cool I agree. The ability to trade draft picks can also help with the subjectivity.
I'm going to let Dwayne Wade have his freedom this summer. If BDL parts ways with Bosh, Rascoe could take his talent to southern Florida and unite the "big 3" on one squad.
So what is the current policy on trading picks?
These are the rules I made when the league first started. They still look ok, but welcome any input. If you trade away a pick and don't get one in return or trade an uneven number of picks, you will be a draft pick/s short and will make up the player/s at the END of the draft. Trades are allowed during the draft. Draft picks can be traded, but only between the period of Off-season Trading and the Keeper submission dates, and during the draft. Draft picks must be specified exactly. Teams may trade a combination of Picks and Players and may consist of an uneven number of Picks/Players. Examples 1) Team A trades the 4th Overall pick (Pick 4, Round 1) to Team B for the 9th and 12th Overall picks (Pick 9, Round 1 and Pick 2, Round 2) 2) Team A trades the 16th Overall pick (Pick 6, Round 2) to Team B for Player X and the 38th Overall pick (Pick 8, Round 4). * In this example, if this trade occurred during the off-season trading period, Player X would automatically become a Keeper for Team A. Traded draft picks do not become Keepers. 3) Team A trades the 1st Overall pick and Player X to Team B for Player Y, Player Z and Player T. * In this example, if this trade occurred during the off-season trading period, Player X would automatically become a Keeper for Team B. Players Y, Z and T would automatically become Keepers for Team A.
Can we start making trade offers now and just not have them made official until the off-season?
No way. That's tampering. Or collusion. Or something... Sent from outerspace
Pipe down over there!
If it was legal, hypothetically speaking, I'd be willing to trade Dwayne Wade for a draft pick.
Shut it, Bill. Sent from outerspace
I'm not going to discuss the possibility of trading Kevin Love for players/picks until after the end of the season. Sent from outerspace
If you have assets to trade, you probably should have dropped them during the season like I did.
If I learned one thing from being a Pistons fan, you just don't give away assets.
Trade deadline has passed for this season. But when off-season trading opens, remember: Any players acquired in a trade in the off-season Trading period are automatically declared as keepers on the next keeper deadline. This is to help avoid situations where a team trades for a player they don't intend to, or end up keeping, effectively giving the other team a free keeper.
Sorry, I'm still confused. I just want to know if I can start advertising and discussing a trade offer now or if I have to wait until the off-season trading period.
The rules say no trades between 26 Feb and 1 Sep. So it prob wouldn't be in the spirit of the league to start Larry Brown-ing (making under the table handshakes with others). But if you wanted to start making your feelings known on who you might keep, what you're looking for, etc (as long as its public) then there's nothing wrong with that.
OK, thanks Webz. In that case, I'll just let it be known that I'm interested in trading Dwight Howard for a draft pick. I'd have no problem keeping him, but Joakim Noah has pretty much displaced him as a keeper this year based on his stellar play. I'll wait until the offseason to entertain any offers, but I just wanted to let that stew for a little while.
I don't really have a good young keeper. I am open to all trade offers. Just thought I'd put that out there for you folks to stew on until September 1.
I can't remember, do we get 3 or 4 keepers plus a young buck? Bill, we should talk later. I have been trying to corner the market on young talent.
Not sure your guys can play any better BDL. ..

I'm done.
Merry Snowy Christmas
Love & Peace to the World
Been done for a couple weeks now. Although, I have still picked up a small thing or two as I come across things I think someone will like.
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
I love to shop
And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, Lying in a manger.
- St. Luke ii.
We are never finished until Christmas Eve.Our favorite shopping day is the day before Christmas. My Wife, Daughter and Myself go to the mall first thing when the doors open and finish off all our last minute gifts and stocking stuffers.We love the hustle and bustle everyone wishing each other Merry Christmas.
I like to sit and watch the husbands and boyfriends wander about with out a clue.I have often thought I should hire myself out as a guide take a bus load of them to the mall and show them how to buy a proper gift steering clear of cooking and cleaning appliances.Their Best Gal may need a new vacuum cleaner or a toaster but I would bet my last dollar that they would prefer lingerie, perfume or jewelry.
'I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future!' Scrooge repeated, as he scrambled out of bed. 'The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. Oh, Jacob Marley! Heaven, and the Christmas Time be praised for this! I say it on my knees, old Jacob, on my knees!' (Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol)
Did most of my shopping last weekend while my boyfriend waited in the mall hallways, reading the news on his Smartphone. At least he didnt' complain too much!
I got a few items for gifts when I was in NYC too, so now I just have ONE ITEM left to pick up at the mall on Thursday.
Papa C I also enjoy the mall on Christmas Eve - the mall in my town isn't very large (The BIG MALLS in Toronto are SCARY on the 24th), and they sometimes have carollers or other special events going on. I'll probably stop by just to get a coffee or something and watch all the Hustle & Bustle.

We have one of the largest malls in the US just 15 minutes away and I wouldn't be caught dead there on Christmas Eve. It would probably take at least an hour just to find a parking spot! I do enjoy the hustle bustle and the Christmas spirit of the day - but my foot surgery left me unble to cope with intense walking situations. Maybe I'll go with my daughters and just sit on a bench! Actually, I'll be cooking for a houseful of guests!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
i have 3 more gifts to get
And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, Lying in a manger.

Not actually started...
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''

The great American crab boil is a no-frills meal that hits countless newspaper-covered tables all summer long. Scattered around the centerpiece platter of just-cooked crabs are piles of paper napkins, bottles of frosty beer, and loaves of garlic bread.
There's something socially engaging about this roll-up-your-sleeves-and-eat-with-your-hands extravaganza. You're at the table for a good while, rhythmically cracking shells, picking out meat, and relishing each bite, with intermittent swigs of beer or forkfuls of coleslaw. The pace of the meal allows plenty of time to visit with tablemates―communal dining at its very best.
A classic crab boil always starts with live crabs for a couple of reasons. One, freshly cooked crabs have the best flavor. And two, you can tailor seasonings to suit your taste. Dungeness crabs―harvested from the Gulf of Alaska to Central California―are available live from saltwater tanks at many seafood markets. Count on a whole crab per person unless you plan to serve loads of side dishes. The predominant crab along the Eastern Seaboard is the blue crab. This variety is quite a bit smaller than the Dungeness, so count on about six per person.
Choose crabs that are active in the tank. Keep them cool in transit (ask for a bag of crushed ice if it's warm out or you won't be home right away), and refrigerate them as soon as possible. Crabs need air to survive, and it's important they remain alive until they're cooked, so leave the packaging open a bit.
You need a big pot, as much as 12 to 16 quarts, to cook live crabs, especially if you're cooking for a crowd. You'll be able to boil one large crab at a time in an 8-quart pot, two or three in a 16-quart or larger pot.
Though the claws of most live crabs will be secured with rubber bands to keep them from pinching, it's still best to grab a crab at the back of its shell for easiest handling. If you're a little nervous about that prospect, you can use sturdy tongs.
At mealtime, provide your guests with crab crackers and slender picks or small seafood forks to remove meat from the shells. And put a bowl or two on the table for discarded shells. When you get to those big, luscious claws, the meat will come out easier if you first remove the claw joint: Grab the pincer and bend it backward, pulling it away from the claw. It should come away with a thin membrane that runs down the center of the claw meat. Now you can extract the whole claw meat more readily.
Purists insist on eating the meat as is, straight from the shell, though melted butter and/or lemon juice are common accoutrements. Try our simple sauces for flavorful twists on a classic summertime crab feast.

Fox's 30-Minute Cain Interview Ignores Campaign Finance Scandal
Fox News continued its history of favorable treatment of Herman Cain with a nearly half-hour long interview that completely ignored questions that have reportedly been raised about the legality of early funding to Cain's presidential campaign.
On October 30, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported [1] that Cain's two top campaign staffers ran a non-profit group that paid for early campaign expenses, which "might breach federal tax and campaign law." The article further reported:
Election law experts say the transactions raise a host of questions for the private organization, which billed itself [2] as a tax-exempt nonprofit, and the Cain team.
"If the records accurately reflect what occurred, this is way out of bounds," said a Washington, D.C.-based election lawyer who advises many Republican candidates and conservative groups on campaign issues. The lawyer asked not to be identified because of those affiliations.
The Washington Post reported [3] on October 31 "Such payments are forbidden under federal tax and election laws, because nonprofit charities are not allowed to donate money or services to political campaigns, according to election law experts." On November 7, the Journal Sentinel further reported [4] that federal investigators were under pressure from outside groups to investigate [5] financial transactions connected to the Cain campaign.
Fox in general, and Neil Cavuto in particular, promoted [6] Cain for months before he announced a run for president, dating back to April 2010. In September 2010, Cain himself noted that "Neil has been trying to drag" a presidential announcement "out of me for months now." Cain has also called Cavuto "one of my closest friends."
So it's no surprise that when Cavuto aired a pre-recorded interview of Cain on Friday which took up half of his Fox News show, Cavuto never mentioned reports that Cain's campaign may have violated federal election and tax laws.

<iframe frameborder="0" height="410px" src="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hop/elevation-dock-the-best-dock-for-iphone/widget/video.html" width="480px"></iframe>
This dock is supposedly the best dock for your iPhone.
Today, tipped by iOS developer Ori Kadosh, we found a cool new docking concept that is expected to be launched in April of this year. It is a 'perfect' docking solution that isn't so tight that you cannot get your iPhone out of the dock with one hand, and it's not so loose that you can knock it over with a touch. It's right in between. The Elevation Dock is milled out of pure aluminum, the same metal and same milling process that makes MacBook Pro and MacBook Air unibodies and also the bodies for the iMac, Mac Mini, and Apple TV remote. The process of milling is extremely precise - down to the thousands of an inch, meaning that you get high quality with the Elevation Dock for iPhone.
The idea behind the Elevation Dock was to create a dock that was simple to add and remove an iPhone, but also make it compatible with whatever cases you might be using. How does it make it easier to add and remove the iPhone, you ask? Well, the thirty pin connector (which is the port at the bottom of every Apple iDevice) is actually modified to have little friction and simply allow the iPhone to glide on and off. This means that you can use one hand to lift or put your iPhone from or on the Elevation Dock with ease and having absolutely no hassle even when you have a case on (because of the large bay that is milled out for the iPhone and most cases. Of course, minimal to just barely medium sized cases are recommended for this. With larger cases, you might be taking a gamble. We recommend generally minimal cases like the Incipio Feather or Apple Bumper, just to name a couple.
The Elevation Dock has some high-friction feet on the bottom of the slightly heavy aluminum body, which helps keep it in place on your desk when you insert or remove your iPhone. There is also a high-friction support pad inside the bay of the dock - this is what makes using the case possible using the Elevation Dock. The coloring, size, and appearance of this dock looks great next to any aluminum Mac computer.
If the general look and abilities of the dock haven't already left you awestruck in the world of iPhone docks, then consider this: the Elevation Dock is made out of solid aluminum, which means that if you use any sound-based functions of the iPhone while it's sitting inside of the dock, sound will echo instead of get muffled by some other plastic dock. The Elevation dock even has an output wire so that you can use your iPhone inside of the dock with a stereo system.
Since the Elevation Dock is machined out of high quality aluminum which is milled to precise numbers and just plain looks amazing, it will retail at $90 and international shipping will cost another $20. If you think that $90 is a lot, you should know that I used to work in the milling position; the money that goes into milling is expensive and precise. Additionally, the less that are made the more it will cost which in this case, they are made depending on the demand. Another thing to consider is that a case replacement for a MacBook Pro computer is about $200-300. That's only for the aluminum case. So, the price is actually really fair. I think this product has a great potential and I will certainly be buying one because of the build quality. The idea of being such a perfect one-handed dock also catches my eye.
What are other Web Sites saying about the Elevation Dock? Wired says, "The Dock Apple should have made in the first place." Gizmodo says, "I'm tempted to buy an iPhone just so I can use the Elevation Dock." And lastly, Cult of Mac says, "Elevation Lab Has Designed The Most Gorgeous iPhone Dock Ever Made." It looks as though I'm not the only person that thinks that the Elevation Dock is a beautiful piece. Won't you give it a shot?
What do you think about the Elevation Dock? Share in the comments.

No. 25/16 Kentucky Faces Tennessee in Border Showdown
Oct. 10, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The University of Kentucky women's soccer team returns home to the UK Soccer Complex for a border-state showdown with Tennessee on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. ET in Lexington.
The Wildcats enter Friday night's match with a 10-2-1 overall record and 4-1-0 in the SEC. The Wildcats are just one point off the lead of the Southeastern Conference, currently sitting on 12 points through the first five games of the conference season. The Tennessee Lady Vols are 7-4-2, with a 2-2-1 SEC record under second year head coach Brian Pensky.
Kentucky has won each of the last three regular season meetings between the two sides, all by shutouts. In the last meeting between UK and UT, then-freshman Kelli Hubly scored the game's only goal in the 71st minute, as the Wildcats went to Rocky Top and picked up a 1-0 win.
Hubly this week was named to the TopDrawer Soccer National Team of the Week, after her three-point weekend against Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. Hubly scored her first goal of the season against the Bulldogs, as well as assisting on the game-opening goal to senior Caitlin Landis.
Friday's match will be the last stand-alone weekend in SEC play, as there will be no Sunday games in the league, with all 14 teams just playing a Friday match and having an open date on Sunday.
This will be the 23rd all-time meeting between the Wildcats and Lady Vols, with Tennessee holding a 12-10-0 edge over UK in the series. Tennessee is one of five opponents that Kentucky has beaten 10 or more times in program history (LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Vanderbilt). At the UK Soccer Complex, Tennessee holds the 5-3-0 edge in the series.
Kentucky is looking to move to 5-1-0 in SEC play for the first time since 1999, which was the last time UK won five of its first six conference games.
The Tennessee Lady Vols enter Friday night's match with a 7-4-2 overall record, and an even 2-2-1 in SEC play. Tennessee had a split weekend last time out, defeating No. 25 Ole Miss on Friday night, and then dropping a 1-0 double-overtime match to No. 19 South Carolina in Knoxville.
UT has one win over a ranked opponent, as they knocked off No. 17 Central Florida, 2-1 on Aug. 30. The Lady Vols have knocked off Ole Miss and Texas A&M in SEC action thus far.
The Lady Vols are led in scoring by Hannah Wilkinson and Caroline Brown, who each have five goals on the season. Eight different players have scored a goal for UT in 2013. In goal, junior Julie Eckel has been in the net every minute of every match for the Lady Vols, sporting a 0.74 GAA.

By Joe Brewin
Robin van Persie admits there was more than just a third-placed finish at stake in the Premier League this season.
Arsenal secured a spot in next season's Champions League with a battling victory at West Brom to finish one point and one place above north London rivals Tottenham.
Spurs have never finished above the Gunners under Arsène Wenger's stewardship - and the Dutchman had no intention of letting that happen this season.
"It was double [pressure]," the captain told Arsenal Player. "We knew what was at stake and that made the game a bit tense.
"I didn't really expect a proper game of football but it doesn't matter, sometimes you have to dig in hard, work for each other and play for the team. I think everyone did that here.
"The main thing was that we had to qualify, everyone is very pleased and everyone is enjoying this moment. It is just a fantastic feeling again to be ahead of Spurs. I heard that they won but it didn't really matter because we won our game and that is just the best feeling of all."
Arsenal's difficult start to the campaign had cast hopes of a strong finish into doubt and Van Persie is delighted his side managed to secure third spot.
"It is incredible," said the striker. "We had to dig deep and come back on a couple of occasions when we were having a hard time. At the start of the season we had a very difficult period but we bounced back very well from that.
"After that we had the games against Milan and Sunderland which were quite a hard blow but we did bounce back - even if the last few weeks have been squeezing at times.
"In my opinion we should have won a couple of games we actually drew so we made it a bit hard for ourselves, but to get a win here was the icing on the cake."

Perhaps bloggers need to be more visual and less wordy. Those were some of the first thoughts that crept into my head when I got wind of this new CCS (CO2 capture and storage) Web and interactive map from the Bellona Foundation.
Before even going further I had to check out Bellona, which we discovered is an Oslo, Norway based NGO that primarily functions as a nuclear watchdog focusing on developments in Russia. More recently they have moved into other sectors including technology and the environment. That's where the colorful and helpful new CCS Web comes into play.

Hello all. I'm a new member of TDH, but I lurked here a few years ago. I recently got the urge to dig out all my old materials and give my Fett costume another go. I'm going to start by scratch building an ESB bucket. I will post progress pics and will be open to any suggestions that any of you may have to offer.
I have been a fan of Star Wars since 1992 (since I was 7 y.o.), but my interest fell after ep 2 lol. I'm still an avid fan of the original trilogy, and have always been a fan of Boba Fett.
I'm looking forward to being a part of this community.

timtoady wrote:Wow, thanks again for the very helpful advice. I have been dreading this situation- not being able to upgrade my OS for fear of breaking PT 10.3.4, and now it's finally become an official PITA.
But the last thing you said is something I hadn't even considered: Maintaining two startup disks, one with 10.3.8 just for pro tools, and one with Tiger, for everything else. I just happen to have an extra hard drive I can use for this.
Unless anyone here knows a good reason why it's >not< such a good idea to maintain such a system, (I can't think of one right away,) I will probably go with that. Thanks again.
I went ahead and did this- I installed panther 10.3 on a second hd (10.3.8 update won't work, so it appears to be stuck at 10.3) and upgraded my non-PT system to tiger.
Unfortunately, the itunes errors still came up! So I backed up the whole thing, and reinstalled tiger with a hard drive wipe, just to make sure. I backed up my entier ~/Library/ and copied it into place in my home dir in the new install, which has worked in the past for restoring all my preferences.
However.... I somehow retained the problem, as I STILL get the same errors in iTunes! I went through ~/Library/Preferences/, ~/Library/Application Support/, etc, wiping out anything that could be causing the problem, short of the actual com.apple.iTunes.plist file (which would lose track of my music library as well...) -- I should note that I even tried deleting that file once, just to test, and sure enough, the error >still< occured!
So now I'm at a loss-- I trashed all the iTunes prefs, quicktime prefs, and I still can't find the culprit of the errors. And this is with no digidesign software whatsoever.

Quarter-century of caring
Community Caregivers keeps giving 25 years later
By HUNTER McGEE
Union Leader Correspondent | September 13. 2013 8:37PM
Members pf Community Caregivers of Derry are pictured recently in front of the office in the Masonic Temple at 58 East Broadway Ave. The organization is marking 25 years of service this month to the Derry area. (COURTESY)
The organization follows a basic plan that has made a difference in people's lives since its inception, said Executive Director Cindee Tanuma.
A group of people from the community and local churches came together in 1983 to found the organization after seeing a need for volunteer services to supplement existing programs, Tanuma said.
The organization strives to meet the needs of volunteers by matching them to the level of service they feel comfortable delivering.
Volunteers have logged 235,000 hours since formal time tracking began in 1992. During the past 25 years, they've helped more than 1,775 people. In just the past 12 months, volunteers drove more than 100,000 miles.
Not far from Tanuma's office is a room filled with crutches, canes and dozens of other medical equipment. Along with matching volunteers to clients for services, the staff runs the Loaner's Closet for Durable Medical Equipment. More than 5,000 pieces of donated equipment are on loan to the general public, Tanuma said.
Derry resident Joan Quass said Caregivers has helped her immensely during the past two years. The 74-year-old said volunteers have routinely assisted with light house cleaning and other chores.
To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the agency will be hosting two events: a volunteer, client and supporter party at the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire on Oct. 19; and a Gala Evening and Auction at Zorvino Vineyards on Oct. 24, Tanuma said.With proceeds benefitting the organization, Caregivers will be selling baked goods, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22, at Mack's Apples in Londonderry.
