Dark Passage
(GC20AA) by
(nominated by Silent Bob)
Moe the Sleaze and I had been planning a trip to Duluth since returning from the geocaching invitational in Missouri. I had contacted him about the possible trip early in the week and he suggested we head up to Duluth that Saturday.
Saturday came and I arrived at his house shortly before 5am. We then began the drive towards Duluth and cached the entire way. We hit many incredible caches during the trip including nine by the infamous IBcrashen. Moe had many other names for him including IBspoiled and IBtired.
One of my most favorite caches ever came during this trip. It was IBcrashens Dark Passage.
We arrived at a likely parking area for the rails to trails pathway. We began the long walk along the path which, thankfully, was level and paved. Ignoring our stored/loaded cache pages for the hunts until we absolutely needed them we had no idea what treat that IBcrashen had in store for us. We made our way through a beautiful rock cut as Moe told stories of his bike riding through this area in years passed.
We arrived at the cache location after a short scramble up a small, rocky, hill. We sat and rested for a bit enjoying the view of the St. Louis River and the vertical rock face behind us. Reading in the logs that there was a nearby tunnel we were slightly disappointed we had missed it. It seemed that the tunnel was close by so we made a slight detour to visit it.
As we approached it we could immediately feel the cool breeze running through the tunnel. It was roughly blasted and certainly not as large as I would have expected. The story of the tunnel in the caches log book now made more sense (you will have to visit the cache to get the full history as told by IBcrashen). The tunnel curved in the middle so it became nearly impossible to see in the middle without a flashlight. Moe was wishing he had brought his headlamp.
The walk back to the car was enjoyable and the memories of both the cache location and the tunnel have lingered with me since. If you are planning to make a trip to Duluth either for the caching or for another reason I seriously suggest you make a stop at IBcrashens Dark Passage. Its well worth the trip.
Thanks IBcrashen. You made me fall in love with caching all over again. All I can say is IBimpressed.
The Center of Nature
(GCJ399) by
(nomintated by 15Tango)
The Center of Nature, GCJ399, by R.J., is an excellent micro/multi in a
great lakeside park, and these two micros are an apt replacement for one
of the largest caches I've ever found, Reader Rabbit Cache (GCAF3D) by
Big Red One and Mudbug, which was archived when the owners moved to
Florida. There are many trails worthy of further exploration in this
park/nature area, and finding both parts of R.J.'s cache take you along
some of the best of them. Because of all the trails in the area, one
would be advised to waypoint where you park, as it is easy to take the
wrong trail at an intersection and end up going a ways out of the way.
For having great trails and being a great park, I've practically had it
all to myself each time I've visited--I came to this cache on a
beautiful Saturday morning, and passed only one other person on the
trails. It is also a great place to take a break from Highways 100 and
62, which intersect near the park, but from the park, you'd hardly know
that both of these major arteries are a stone's throw away. During my
visit, I saw plenty of birds, including robins, red-winged blackbirds,
ducks, and geese, and heard a mourning dove or two, and there was
some deer sign as well. I'm sure someone might also see turtles and
aquatic mammals in the water that you pass, as well. Alas,
no not-so-elusive black squirrels at this cache, though, but there are plenty of the grey variety.

Donna - from Auburn, CA
Yes, butter can be substituted, however, butter and butter-flavored shortening change the texture of a cookie. Stick butter has a lower melting point than shortening which will cause the cookies to spread more during baking and result in a flatter, more crispy cookie. Butter provides a great deal of flavor and a nice, fine grained texture. Cookies made with butter-flavored shortening have a higher melting point so cookies will not spread and will retain their shape better than those prepared with butter. Shortening also produces a softer, cake-like texture. So determine the desired characteristics for your cookies and base your fat selection on those.

Man arrested for Fairview Park bomb threats
(Fairview Park) - A person is in custody for making threats to Gilles-Sweet Elementary School.
Students were sent home Monday morning following a bomb threat, the second in recent days.
During the initial evacuation, all students were taken to the New Hope Church as officials searched the building.
The Fairview Park Police Lt. Erich Upperman tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 that 32-year-old Brian Wasko was in custody, suspected of making Monday's threat along with another recent threat.
The Lt. Upperman says Wasko allegedly texted the threat and then signed the name of another person, against whom he has a grudge.
Wasko was charged with two counts of inducing panic. He was arraigned via video by the Rocky River Municipal Court.
Bomb sniffing dogs were called in, but Lt. Upperman says the all clear was give. Even with a confession from the suspect, they decided to do the search just for peace of mind.

NYC Solar Summit 2013
Smart. Resilient. Solar.
June 4, 2013
Presentations and Agenda
The Graduate Center
City University of New York
365 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY
Smart. The City University of New York (CUNY), and its partners*, have successfully led the implementation of four U.S. Department of Energy initiatives to address barriers to solar and support market growth in NYC. Over the last 6 years NYC has seen an 8-fold increase in installation companies and a growth in rooftop solar capacity from 1 MW to 14 MW by the close of 2012, adding over $116 million to the local economy. At the 2013 NYC Solar Summit, CUNY will showcase the programmatic and IT tools developed for NYC that aim to further reduce the soft costs of solar in the five boroughs, and now, throughout New York State. NYSolar Smart is a state-wide effort to address the non- hardware balance of systems costs of installing solar such as permitting, zoning, interconnection, outreach, policy and financing. NYSolar Smart is supported by State and City agencies as well as over 40 partners across New York.
Resilient. Never has integrating the power of solar into the mainstream been more important. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy it was determined that while the 672 solar arrays on NYC rooftops at that time sustained little or no damage during the storm, they were unable to supply critically needed power during the subsequent outage. While the capability exists, in order to tap into this resource on a broad scale, key issues such as system design, costs, technology integration, incentive structure, codes and regulations need to be addressed. America is waking up to the fact that solar and other distributed generation (DG) could be a valuable source of back-up power for the public. CUNY is leading the push to integrate solar and DG into emergency and resiliency planning and has formed the Smart DG Hub. At the Summit, CUNY will outline the changes needed in order to ensure that solar power can also be utilized as a source of emergency power.
Solar . Markets are growing in the United States due to low photovoltaic prices, strong consumer demand, and financial incentives from the federal government, states, cities and utilities. The need for a streamlined infrastructure capable of handling the continued rapid scale up of solar is paramount in order for New York to emerge as a leader. CUNY, together with partners from across the City and the State, is aggressively addressing this need in New York with support from the NY-Sun Initiative as well as the Department of Energy SunShot Initiative.
NYC Resilient Inverters Workshop
* The NYC Solar Partnership, led by Sustainable CUNY is comprised of the City University of New York, the NYC Mayor's Office of Long Term Planning and Sustainability and the NYC Economic Development Corporation, with considerable collaboration from Con Edison. Funding for City and State programs are provided by the U.S. Department of Energy, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the New York Power Authority.

Lee 新戦術 Hasdell J-MMA (UK) Booker www.combudo.com
Lately, however, the sport could stand to revisit this rule given some of the latest fights, the evolution of styles and the momentum of the sport.
First, I will confesskneeing a grounded opponent can be extremely dangerous. In fact, it may potentially be the most vicious move in the sport, as most of us remember from the old days of PRIDE.
(From the article) This doesn't sit right with me??!!
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
With 12-6 elbows still illegal, they will NEVER sanction knees to a grounded opponent.
It looks far too violent for the general public & the detractors of MMA would have a field day if it ever happened.
Is a shame as where wrestling is concerned its a real game changer.
However I do hope they sort out the BS "I've put my hand down so you can't knee me" rule.
Knees to the head on the ground would suit me fine as a fan and aspiring fighter. Still wouldn't mind them doing away with elbows on the ground though.
They should at least let a limit of say 3 knees be thrown Its such a great game changer and how is it the most dangerous move ever wouldnt that be head stomps and soccer kicks?

It's meant be Ultimate Fighting, surely that needs to include knees to head one day?
Lee 新戦術 Hasdell J-MMA (UK) Booker www.combudo.com
Plus, major operators (UFC/Bellator) wouldn't be able to get it past the athletic commissions (obviously that would be easier here).
Dana White doesn't appear to rule it out completely. Vicious cutting elbows have been approved. I am not talking about right away, I'm talking once mma has become normal and excepted. A few years ago everyone said mma was impossible, I am a visionary and innovator and I just predict that one day knees to head will be included...
From interview with Dana;
Unlike most pro sports leagues, the UFC doesn't make its own rules, instead abiding by the Unified Rules that have been adopted by the state athletic commissions. But if the UFC did make its own rules, UFC President Dana White says, he'd like to legalize knees to the head of a downed opponent.
Asked by an Australian fan during a pre-UFC 110 question-and-answer session about allowing knees on the ground, White said he would like to see it -- but first he wants to see widespread acceptance of the rules as they stand now.
"Knees to the head? I get asked that a lot," White said. "Right now we're in this phase where we go out to all thees different states, and what we're trying to do right now is basically -- the game of soccer we play in the United States is the same game they play all over the world -- that's what we're trying to do with MMA, to make this a sport. Eventually, when the whole world isn't afraid of this sport anymore, then we can add knees to the head. I like them and I agree with you, but it's going to take a long time."
I think White has it basically right: There are rules that could stand to be changed, and permitting knees to the head on the ground might be a good one (though I'm less sold on allowing stomps and soccer kicks). But it would be wise to get every state on board with the rules we have before making any big changes.

Plus, I am sure that has taken a backseat to TRT and other stuff these days, until the sport is totally legit across the States I cant see any amendments happening - other than some things being taken out maybe, to get knee's in, thats a long long way away, as the sport stands it has effective rules to a degree - allows elbows etc, they are not going to add in more ways to damage and hurt an opponent whilst it still isnt socially accepted in all circles anyway.
Would love to see them, but I think they died with Pride.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Yeah, but with that arguement we'll be back to the early days of the UFC. Keith Hackney groin strikes, Mark Coleman headbutts & Mark Kerr sticking his chin into eye sockets as a submission hold??
The UFC has moved on from those days, now its very much an acceptable sport & a change of the rules to something the general public would likely view as too brutal would be unlikely. Plus would Fox allow a rule change like this on their channels?
As already said I'd like to see the rule change personally & can't see it being that more dangerous than knees thrown in any position, but I feel the general public would see it differently.
Knees to the head of a grounded opponent ?
I really do hope that this does not happen.
The attempts to legitimise and progress the sport worldwide does not need it.
It would end any progression of the sport in the UK.
I, personally, do not think it is needed at any level - anywhere.

I proposed that my community begin the Pauline Center for Media Studies in Boston with a good media library. At that time the budget was healthy and almost every Sunday after mass I went to the Barnes & Noble store at Chestnut Hill to savor a great cup of coffee as I browsed their excellent collection.

Microsoft's Windows Boss Is Out
Windows 8 was one of the most important product launches Microsoft has had in its recent era.
Now, the man running Windows, Steve Sinofsky, is leaving the company effective immediately, the company announced today in an release titled, "Microsoft Announces Leadership Changes to Drive Next Wave of Products."
Sinofsky was president of the Windows Division at Microsoft and unveiled Windows 8 at its launch. At the time, he called Windows 8 "a major milestone in the evolution and the revolution of computing."
Windows 8 was a major overhaul, optimizing the operating system to be touch-based and work on tablet computers. Just weeks after launch, Sinofsky's now no longer part.
Here's how the rest of the leadership changes shake out: Microsoft's Julie Larson-Green is promoted to lead all of Windows software and hardware engineering, with Tami Reller taking over responsibility for Windows' business.
So, who is the woman now running the Windows engineering?
Here's an old bio of Larson-Green on Microsoft's website, which describes her experience working on Microsoft Office:
A specialist in user-interface design, Larson-Green began working with Office in 1997, when she program-managed FrontPage. She subsequently helmed UI design for Office XP and Office 2003, which had evolved into a large organization of carefully negotiated compromises among the application suite's various programs. Although Office's great success was based on customer familiarity, the Customer Experience Improvement Program was indicating that users, while basically happy with the product, were increasingly either unaware of (possibly redundant) functions among Office's different programs or frustrated by the amount of training necessary to use an astonishingly complex set of commands, dialogs, and interaction modes.
And here's what ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley has to say about her:
Microsoft "discovered" Larson-Green after a few Softies attended a talk she gave comparing Microsoft compilers to Borland compilers and asked her to run a Visual C++ focus group for the company. In 1993, she ended up landing a job on the Visual C++ team, where focused on the integrated development environment. She moved to the Internet Explorer team (where she worked on the user experience for IE 3.0 and 4.0) and then, in 1997, to the Office team to work on FrontPage, where she got her first group program manager job. She also did a stint on the SharePoint Team Services team, back when SharePoint was known as "Office.Net."
Sinofsky was also part of the Office division before taking over Windows. "Before Windows, he oversaw the development of the Microsoft Office system of programs, servers and services and was responsible for the product development of the 2007 Microsoft Office system," according to his bio.
Here's the full release of the announcement:
REDMOND, Wash. — Nov. 12, 2012 — Microsoft Corp. today announced that Windows and Windows Live President Steven Sinofsky will be leaving the company and that Julie Larson-Green will be promoted to lead all Windows software and hardware engineering. Tami Reller retains her roles as chief financial officer and chief marketing officer and will assume responsibility for the business of Windows. Both executives will report directly to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
These changes are effective immediately.
"I am grateful for the many years of work that Steven has contributed to the company," Ballmer said. "The products and services we have delivered to the market in the past few months mark the launch of a new era at Microsoft. We've built an incredible foundation with new releases of Microsoft Office, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, Microsoft Surface, Windows Server 2012 and 'Halo 4,' and great integration of services such as Bing, Skype and Xbox across all our products. To continue this success it is imperative that we continue to drive alignment across all Microsoft teams, and have more integrated and rapid development cycles for our offerings."
"It is impossible to count the blessings I have received over my years at Microsoft. I am humbled by the professionalism and generosity of everyone I have had the good fortune to work with at this awesome company," Sinofsky said.
Since 1993, Larson-Green has worked on and led some of the most successful products for Microsoft, including the user experiences for early versions of Internet Explorer, and helped drive the thinking behind the refresh of the user experience for Microsoft Office. For Windows 7 and Windows 8 she was responsible for program management, user interface design and research, as well as development of all international releases. She has a master's degree in software engineering from Seattle University and a bachelor's degree in business administration from Western Washington University. In her new role she will be responsible for all future Windows product development in addition to future hardware opportunities.
"Leading Windows engineering is an incredible challenge and opportunity, and as I looked at the technical and business skills required to continue our Windows trajectory — great communication skills, a proven ability to work across product groups, strong design, deep technical expertise, and a history of anticipating and meeting customer needs — it was clear to me that Julie is the best possible person for this job, and I'm excited to have her in this role," Ballmer said.
Reller joined Windows in 2007 from the Microsoft Dynamics Division where she held a number of leadership positions. She began her career in technology at Great Plains Software in 1984 while still in college, and was the company's chief financial officer at the time the company was acquired by Microsoft in 2001. She has a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Minnesota State University Moorhead and an MBA from St. Mary's College in Moraga, Calif. In her expanded role she will assume the lead in driving business and marketing strategy for Windows devices, including Surface and partner devices, in addition to her current marketing and finance responsibilities.
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.

This meeting will be held at the Steinhart Lodge in Nebraska City (east of the Lied Lodge and Conference Center).
Community Breakfast, Farmers National Bank, 202 South 8th Street, 7:30 a.m. Each year the Board of Regents meets in a Nebraska community to give the Regents an opportunity to meet with Nebraska citizens and to hear about issues related to the university that people in the area believe are important. The valuable input obtained in these sessions assists the Regents in their deliberations about policy decisions. This community breakfast will provide a setting for such discussions.
Strategic Issue: Nebraska Rural Initiative. The Board of Regents will review progress on an approach to focusing the knowledge, skills and creativity of faculty and staff on the four campuses of the University of Nebraska on stabilizing and enhancing the economy and quality of life in rural Nebraska. The university is working in partnership with federal, state, and local governments as well as local communities, businesses, agricultural enterprises and nonprofit organizations in this effort.
New master's and Ph.D. degrees in cancer research (Item X-A-1). The Board of regents will be asked to approve creation of a program to award graduate-level degrees in the field of cancer research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The program would take advantage of the exceptionally strong research and clinical care programs at UNMC to prepare students for a variety of careers related to cancer research. Similar programs are offered at only a limited number of major cancer centers in the United States.
Extension of the dual-enrollment pilot program being tested by UNO and Millard Public Schools (Item X-A-3). For the past year, faculty members at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and teachers in the Millard school district have been working collaboratively to provide high school students the opportunity to take challenging courses in such subjects as Calculus, English Literature, European History and Psychology. The students earn academic credit at UNO. The Board of Regents will hear a report on the project and will be asked to approve expansion of the pilot to other Omaha-area school districts. The board also will be asked to authorize the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska at Kearney to initiate similar pilot projects.
Please note: The agenda for the August Board of Regents meeting will be posted on the University of Nebraska website, www.nebraska.edu/board/board_agendas.shtml, at 10:00 a.m. Friday, July 30.

'If he could secure about $500,000 for an acoustic curtain to surround the arena's upper bowl, Hamister said, more events in the 5,000 to 7,000 attendance range could be accommodated. Promoters for smaller concerts that do not fill the arena avoid the venue now, he said, because of poor acoustics and the negative impression created by a less-than-full arena.'

Gamecocks make final preparations for home opener
From our New Partners at WCBD-TV:
With just two days remaining until the 2013 football season gets underway, the University of South Carolina football team worked out at the Bluff Road practice fields Tuesday afternoon. The Gamecocks are making their final preparations for Thursday's season opener against the North Carolina Tar Heels. The 6 p.m. ET game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
"North Carolina is a good team," said head coach Steve Spurrier. "They could have easily won 10 games last year. We've got to be ready to play our best if we're going to beat North Carolina."
"I think we've had pretty good practices this week," said defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward. "Assignment-wise, especially with the starting group, we've been on point." Ward indicated that Cedrick Cooper will not play Thursday, but could be ready to participate when the team returns to practice on Saturday.
Several players will don new numbers for Thursday's opener. Those players include Darius English (5), Kaiwan Lewis (8), Pharoh Cooper (13), Austin Hails (15), Kelvin Rainey (16), Jody Fuller (19), Mohamed Camara (31), Larenz Bryant (32), Kwinton Smith (82) and Matthew Harvey (84).
Those who remain on the injury list include Rory Anderson (hamstring), Bruce Ellington (hamstring), Cedrick Cooper (elbow), Cody Gibson (knee), Carlton Heard (hamstring), James King (foot), Mike Matulis (shoulder), Kyle Morini (elbow), Gerald Turner (ankle) and Devin Washington (concussion). "Busta (Anderson) is out probably," said Coach Spurrier. "Bruce is questionable. He'll try to run around tomorrow."
The ESPN crew began to roll into town on Tuesday. Rece Davis, who will be calling the game on Thursday, attended practice, along with analyst Jesse Palmer. They will be joined in the booth by David Pollack with Samantha Ponder working the sidelines. ESPN Radio will also have a national broadcast with Bill Rosinski describing the action, along with color commentary from David Norrie. Joe Schad will be the ESPN Radio sideline announcer.

DOWNEY — A political newcomer was the big winner in Tuesday's Downey City Council election, along with two sitting councilmen.
Alex Saab, the president-elect of the Downey Chamber of Commerce, received 56.49 percent of the vote in the 5 th District, putting him far ahead of his three opponents.
In the 1 st District, Councilman Luis Marquez had 44.95 percent of the vote, followed by Michael Murray, a planning commissioner and owner of Downey Used Cars, with 42.92 percent. A third candidate, Mark Vasquez, a recreation and community services commissioner, had 12.13 percent of the vote, in unofficial results.
Mayor Roger Brossmer was unopposed in District 3 and won another term.
Marquez had left District 5 and sought re-election in District 1, along with the other two candidates, after Councilman David R. Gafin was termed out of office in that district.
Marquez campaigned on making public safety and quality of life issues his top priorities while being fiscally prudent.
When Marquez left District 5, his seat went open and had four contenders.
The winner there, Saab, said his priorities are job creation, public safety, fiscal responsibility and making City Hall more accessible to residents, according to his campaign website.
Saab beat Salvador Franco, a former Bell Gardens councilman; Gabriel Orozco, a former professional baseball player who works in public relations; and attorney Ricardo Perez, who runs his own Downey-based law firm.

Brevard, N.C. - Coach Britne Stubbs and the Brevard College Softball team are pleased to announce the release of the 2012 Tornados Softball schedule, in conjunction with the Brevard College Athletic Department.

Brevard also made the Food Lion SAC tournament for the second time under Coach Stubbs, defeating second-seed Carson-Newman in the first round of the tournament.
This season, the schedule will feature 18 home games in Brevard, N.C., while the Tornados will take to the road 26 times. Brevard will also take part in the Limestone tournament, hosted by Limestone College, and will also be present in the FMU Round Robin tournament hosted by Francis Marion University.

'Cats Getting Set for Season
This year, Little League Baseball and the New York-Penn League each celebrate their 75th anniversary and already the Tri-City ValleyCats, the defending NY-PENN League Champs, are prepping for the season.
First, the ValleyCats will host their 4th Annual National Anthem tryouts on Saturday, April 5 from 10:00 am - 12:30 pm at Crossgates Mall in Guilderland. The ValleyCats will partner with Oldies 98-3, with Jaime Roberts from the Jaime in the Morning Show serving as the event emcee.
The winner will have the opportunity to perform the National Anthem prior to a game at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium. Tryouts will be held on the lower level of Crossgates Mall across the hallway from the Apple Store. Registration will begin at 9:30 am, with auditions set to begin at 10:00 am. Auditions will be conducted on a "first come-first go" basis. Those trying out will be required to perform either the "Star-Spangled Banner" or "God Bless America." Performers may apply individually, as a group, or both, and performances must be done a capella.
A panel of judges will select five finalists, who will then be videotaped performing their version of the National Anthem. Those videos will be posted online for fans to vote on a winner. All finalists will have the opportunity to perform at "The Joe" during the season. For more information, contact Chris Dawson at 518-629-CATS, Ext. 25, or by e-mail at email@example.com.
The ValleyCats 2014 season begins on Friday, June 13, and includes 38 unique theme nights, 14 extravagant fireworks displays, and plenty of giveaways. For full details, visit the ValleyCats official website, www.tcvalleycats.com.
Additionally, the ValleyCats, with the support of BlueShield of Northeastern New York, will renovate four youth ball fields in less than 24 hours on Thursday, April 17. As part of the "4 in 24" program, Schenectady Little League, Twin Town Little League, Berne-Knox-Westerlo Little League, and Spring Youth Baseball, will all receive renovations to their playing surface.
Schenectady will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of the original Schenectady Little League's World Series win in 1954. The Michigan Avenue field, which will receive the renovation, was home to the 1954 team. In a statement issued by the Schenectady Little League Board of Directors, the league expressed its gratification on being selected:
"This is a wonderful opportunity for our league and our community. We now have the opportunity to give this field a much-needed makeover that will enable us to begin the transformation of the Michigan Avenue complex into a monument to be looked upon in the years to come as a positive influence in our city, and to our baseball community. We are humbled by this decision, and look forward to partnering together with both the Tri-City ValleyCats and our community, to make this a positive experience for our young athletes."
Twin Town Little League, the ValleyCats neighbors across the street from "The Joe," and Berne Knox-Westerlo Little League, will also celebrate Little League's 75th anniversary with a brand new playing surface.
Twin Town will receive the renovation on the field where it plays all of its championship games, and most all-star tournament games.
"For years we have wanted to make significant repairs to our Williams Road No. 2 field, but have not had the resources. This will truly make it our signature field. Twin Town Little League is excited to partner with the ValleyCats on such a special project that will serve children in the community for years to come," said Bob Schuman, President, Twin Town Little League.
The field in Berne felt the effects of Hurricane Irene, and has never been the same since.
"Fixing our field has been on the league's wish list for at least six years. It has only gotten worse over that time, to the point where it has become a safety concern," said Kevin Toomey, President, Berne-Knox-Westerlo Little League. "We are a small league with an equally small budget, so getting this done was going to be a real challenge for us. We managed to buy some good baseball dirt a few years ago, but Hurricane Irene came through a few months later and took it all away. To have someone come in and take care of this all at once is a dream come true."
Spring Youth Baseball has been part of the Troy community since 1955, and provides house and competitive travel baseball to children from 3-12 years old.
"We are honored, excited and grateful for being selected by the Tri-City ValleyCats for the '4 in 24' field renovation program. It will allow our organization to improve field conditions and maintain a fun, safe atmosphere for kids to continue to learn the game of baseball at all levels. The kids that play ball at Spring and for the Renegades will surely be excited to step onto a field that the Tri-City ValleyCats are responsible to help renovate."
This spring will be the fourth straight season of the '4 in 24' project, and continues to be one of the ValleyCats most important yearly initiatives.
"Each year the '4 in 24' project provides an opportunity for our front office to get out into the community and support today's youth by refurbishing ball fields. We couldn't do it without the outstanding support of BlueShield of Northeastern New York, who shares our deep commitment of giving back to our communities," said Rick Murphy, Vice President / General Manager, Tri-City ValleyCats.
In 2012, the ValleyCats and BlueShield of Northeastern New York formed a strong community partnership known as the Community Grounds Crew, an expanded initiative to assist local youth leagues with maintenance and upkeep of their fields throughout the spring and summer. Their mission is to provide the youth of the Capital Region with a safe place to play, learn, grow, and most importantly, have fun.
"BlueShield is proud to continue our support for the third year," said Dr. Kirk Panneton, regional executive and medical director, BlueShield of Northeastern New York. "This initiative aligns perfectly with our corporate mantra, 'healthy changes everything.' Playing on a safe and well-maintained field is good for our region's children, and it's good for our community. We congratulate the Tri-City ValleyCats for their continued maintenance of more than 10 fields that have been transformed."
The four fields will receive brand new sod, bases, a home plate and pitcher's mound, and the baselines will be measured to the correct specifications. The entire scope of the project will be completed in one day.
The efforts will also be aided by the support of Admar Construction, who will provide the necessary equipment to complete the renovations. Other support comes from the New York-Penn League Charitable Foundation, whose contributions come from past events held at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium.

'Don't Vote' celebrity PSA attempts to stretch thinly-veiled sarcasm for five minutes
A ridiculous amount of celebs got together to make this "edgy" video encouraging young people to vote. Here's the YouTube summary:
Leonardo DiCaprio, will i. am, Tobey Maguire, and Forest Whitaker have created public service announcements to encourage American youth to register to vote. The non-partisan PSAs, produced by DiCaprios Appian Way, were created to engage and inspire young people to register and vote and participate in the upcoming election.
And guess what, kids? They use bad words. Holy shit! In fact, Jonah Hill even endorses getting high and playing Halo. Damn, now I'm totally voting! Thanks, sarcastic stars of stage and screen. If it weren't for the emotionless face of Tobey Maguire, I would've sat at home like a fag. U.S.A!

Becoming an HVAC technician is not required to work in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning field, but specializing and becoming certified will allow greater career opportunities. In addition, higher earnings will be an advantage. The basic areas of study found in nearly all HVAC programs are:
- Electronics
- Math
- Applied Chemistry
- Mechanical Drawing
- Blueprint Reading
- Computer Applications
In addition to the general courses, there are more specific classes that include:
- Temperature Control
- Temperature Theory
Butler PA 16001
- Construction
- Equipment Design
- Installation, Repair and Maintenance
Certification is offered by NATE and the EPA
Certification is offered by two organizations. North American Technicians Excellence (NATE) offers national certification and the only test that is recognized by the entire industry. The exam for NATE certification is stringent and requires practical skills as well as knowledge.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers four certification levels. The basics for certification are different; however, they all include work experience Butler PA 16001 and an exam must be passed that includes common HVAC knowledge.
Prior to sitting for the NATE certification exam, work experience is suggested. If the specialty will be an installation technician, one year of work experience is recommended. For service technicians, work experience recommended should be at least two years and a senior level technician should have five years of work experience. This includes experience with the equipment that will be used in each field.
Butler PA 16001 The training recommended for certification as an HVAC technician will take approximately six months to 2 years to complete.
A Sample Curriculum
A sample of the curriculum for certification as an HVAC technician for standards set by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHREA) at an HVAC college is as follows:
Four courses are required consisting of two units each in HVAC Control and Energy Management Systems, HVAC Ductwork and Piping Systems, Butler PA 16001 HVAC System Design Considerations and HVAC System Load Calculations and Psychrometry.
Ninety hours of electives from Building Commissioning for LEED, the Building Envelope and Facilities Management Systems and Technology are required. This is a total of 210 hours of instruction. A certificate registration fee must be paid and the courses must be completed within five years of registration.
A grade level of 2.5 must be maintained with at least a 'C' in each course to receive Butler PA 16001 certification. Most colleges require a high school diploma or GED to apply for admittance for classes to become an HVAC technician. For two-year programs, ACT or SAT scores are not required by the majority of HVAC colleges.
Earning certification as an HVAC technician will provide those who are interested in this field with the ability to acquire a logical and consistent method of learning the comprehensive aspects of HVAC systems. Providing the essential training needed Butler PA 16001 to create new HVAC systems and modify existing systems in accordance with current energy conservation standards is vital in the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning.

How to Safely Travel With Your Pet
There is nothing more distressing to me than driving by someone who has their pet in lap as they drive. While it's obvious there is a bond between the pet and its owner, I can't help but worry about the pet's safety. A simply accident and the family dog could be severely injured or worse by hitting a steering wheel or by an airbag deploying. In fact, the accident itself could be the result of the pet suddenly moving or distracting the driver.
There is a reason small children aren't allowed to ride in the front seat until they are a certain weight and height. While an airbag certainly prevents many injuries, the force of it going off is a violent action. A small body, whether it's a child or a pet aren't designed to withstand such force.
Pet safety seats are a way to keep your dog or cat safe whether it's on a trip to the park or while traveling across country. Many are easy to hook up and even easier to secure your pet in. Often it's a matter of using a safety strap that secures with a seat belt. One of the advantages for a smaller pet is the raised seat allows them to easily watch out the window. They are also easy to remove so it doesn't take much to switch them to another vehicle.
It's not just traveling that can pose a risk to pets. Leaving them alone in a vehicle in the summer makes them vulnerable to the heat. A car can get as warm as 120 degrees while parked and just opening a window will help in cooling them off.
Time for a Vacation? Plan Accordingly
Summer is coming and vacation plans are being made. If you're like many pet owners, this trip involves taking the family pet along. A car seat is even more important, but so are other accessories.
Just as you do with the rest of the family, prepare a list in advance of what your pet will need on the trip, from having enough food to bringing their favorite water dish. Any medicines your pet may need should be at the top of the list, as well as some of their personal belongings such as blankets and toys.
Whether flying on an airplane, traveling in the family vehicle, or touring the country in an RV, a pet carrier is a good idea. An airline approved dog carrier could function for all of these. And there are even carriers that function like slings, making it easy to take your pet around as you take in the scenery.
If you don't want to go with a car seat for your pet, then consider a pet travel crate. This will give them a little room to walk around and if you decorate it with their favorite blankets and toys it could seem like a second home for them. It will also come in handy if you have to leave for a while and can't take them along.
Going to a warm location can mean your pet can become overly warm, not just during the day, but at night. Cooling mats or cooling vests are easy to use and do a lot to keep your pet comfortable.
One thing not to overlook is to have an easily readable engraveable Pet ID tag. It wouldn't take much for your dog to suddenly jump out the door when you've stopped after a long day of driving. If your dog or cat has a pet id with your cell phone number on it, it will make things easier if someone finds them running around the campground.
Do you and your pet travel frequently? If I've left off something that travelers might find of interest, please leave something in our comments section.

Adios, MeeGo
First things first: As most of you already know, I'm not much of a mobile guy. "Mobile" to me means carrying the Targus backpack with the ThinkPad nestled snugly inside. I long ago tired of cleaning up the Pavlovian slobber that many writers and bloggers have produced when it comes to the inevitable "march" from real computers to handheld devices. So rather than fight it, my efforts center around keeping my eyes from glazing over when the reading about the subject.
However, this is not to say that I ignore FOSS and mobile completely.
So with that caveat firmly in place, read on: MeeGo is going the way of the dodo and, in the face of what seemed to be an earlier commitment by Intel to MeeGo, will be replaced by Tizen.
You've probably seen this already in the FOSS media, so I won't labor the point. Sponsored by the LiMo Foundation and the Linux Foundation, Tizen's development will be led by Intel and Samsung. It will emphasize HTML5 apps and support multiple device categories including tablets, handsets, smart TVs and in-vehicle entertainment.
MeeGo's Imad Sousou urges MeeGo developers to join in the effort in a blog item featured on the MeeGo site. "Over the next couple of months, we will be working very hard to make sure that users of MeeGo can easily transition to Tizen, and I will be working even harder to make sure that developers of MeeGo can also transition to Tizen," Sousou writes.
On the surface, this change doesn't lend itself to the appearance of a whole lot of stability. If recent history serves, Maemo and Moblin combined to become MeeGo, and MeeGo was left at the altar, so to speak, by Nokia when a former Microsoft executive took the reins at Nokia and embraced — surprise! — Windows Phone 7.
Perhaps the most poignant observation of this, um, "transition" is made by Ryan Paul in an article he wrote for Ars Technica: "By starting over on the userspace stack and switching to a new set of development tools, Tizen is throwing the existing MeeGo community and a lot of open source labor under the bus. Getting existing contributors and third-party developers who were burned by MeeGo involved in the new effort could prove challenging."
That's hard to argue, but I hope Ryan is wrong here and I hope that current MeeGo developers will heed Sousou's call to join Tizen.
Nevertheless, I'm going to give the LiMo and Linux foundations the benefit of the doubt in this case and trust that they're going to release a version of this operating system in the digital wild next spring that will make us all proud.

Play Dead is the fifth episode of the thirteenth season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Official SynopsisEdit
When a K-9 is blamed for the death of his partner, the CSI team discovers there's more to the case. Meanwhile, Finlay and Morgan investigate the death of a high-profile divorce lawyer with a lot of enemies.
Two girls on their way to a Halloween party come across the body of a man who has seemingly been attacked by an angry dog. Brass, Nick and David arrive at the scene and immediately assume the dog is responsible due to the bite marks on the victim's neck. Having searched the body, the team discover the victim was a cop, carrying a loaded weapon and had a small quantity of drugs in his possession, and that the dog, who was the victim's K-9 dog, was not responsible after all.
Finlay and Brody arrive at the scene of a divorce lawyer's murder, killed by a single gunshot wound to the chest. It turns out that his job and lack of ethics earned him a lot of enemies.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nicely located in the heart of Nice.
The room is ok, clean and tidy, but very simple. The apartment is situated nicely, close to the beach and a couple of shops, and in 20 mins of walking along the sea side you are in the city center.
Unfortunately we had a problem with the shower drain being blocked, which was not fixed during the two days we stayed there.
The apartment complex can be a bit noisy at times, with the only window going to the inner courtyard.
Overall the location made up for the apartment's shortcomings!
The studio that we rented in Nice was fully as expected - clean, located very central. All in all it was a great stay
Salvatore's place is such a space-efficient, clean space in Nice - only a 5 minute walk from the main train station, and about 20 minutes walk to the parts of Nice you want to see (Old Town, Parc du Chateau, the beaches, the markets, etc). Salvatore and his assistant were very accommodating and open to any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were super easy and super smooth. Next time I'm in Nice, I'll surely be staying here! Thanks, Salvatore
A really nice appartment - very spaceous, modern and clean with a well equipped kitchen, and very nice bathrooms. The location is convenient for both restaurants and shopping. Loved the fact, that we had free WIFI. The only minus were some traffic noise, when the windows were open. We enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there again. Thanks to Salvatore, who was really helpful.
While apartment refurbished but probably rapidly swinging door of the bathroom, which does not, wearing ditto towels. Holding a wheelchair user with screws falling steadily. Not enough utensils (pots, etc. ..) for cooking. No bedside in sleeping and finally cockroaches! In addition, the person with whom I had contact before my arrival did not warn me that she would send a cousin to send me the keys. Finally, a particularly nauseating smell in the elevator and when you are on the balcony.
Appartement certes refait à neuf mais sans doute rapidement : porte battante de la salle de bains qui ne tient pas, portant de serviettes idem. Un fauteuil usager qui tient grâce à des vis qui tombent régulièrement. Pas assez d'ustensiles (casseroles, etc..) pour cuisiner. Pas de lampe de chevet dans le coin couchage et enfin des blattes !
Par ailleurs, la personne avec laquelle, j'avais un contact avant mon arrivée, ne m'a pas prévenue qu'elle enverrait un cousin pour me transmettre les clés.
Enfin, une odeur particulièrement écoeurante dans l'ascenseur et lorsque l'on se trouve sur le balcon.
We were at Salvatore in May, the studio was small and clean. We had paid 20 euros for the bedding and towels ..... not very practical. It should also bring a hair dryer. The studio is very close to the Promenade des Anglais.
Nous étions chez Salvatore en mai dernier; le studio était petit et propre . Il a fallu déboursé 20 euros pour obtenir la literie et les serviettes.....pas très pratique. Il faut également amener son sèche-cheveux. Le studio est très près de la promenade des anglais.
Very nice apartment and flexible host! Thank you!
Studio is small, but clean and a good value for money for one - two person. Beach is 5 min away and a velo station just downstairs. Thera are many food stores around and one is just in front of the house. What is really missing is an air-conditioner-;)
Cute, cozy studio in a great location close to the main streets of Nice and not far from many great restaurants. Salvatore was easy to communicate with and had his assistant waiting to meet us when we reached the apartment. Only comments are that it would be nice to include some basic amenities with the apartment, such as towels, sheets, hand soap, or toilet paper. The shower was a bit leaky, and no extra towels made it difficult to clean up. We still enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Thread: Romney vs Obama?
Re: Romney vs Obama?
Up until medieval times, the five points of the pentagram represented the five wounds of Christ on the Cross. It was a symbol of Christ the Saviour. This is in stark contrast to today where the pentagram is criticized by modern Fundamentalist Christians, as being a symbol of evil.
The church eventually chose the cross as a more significant symbol for Christianity, and the use of the pentagram as a Christian symbol gradually ceased.
I'm not saying that Mormanism doesn't have it's flaws...the initial "founding" of the religion itself by the originial founder just reeks of a complete con for the guy to make money...you know...because he was a convicted con-artist who was jailed for being a con-man back in the day. Personally I'm not trying to be disrespectful because people can believe whatever it is that they want, but I look at Mormanism almost the same way that I look at the Church of Scientology or 7th Day Adventists, etc.
Even still, every religion can have it's roots traced back to paganism. Most "religious" folks don't want to admit that or acknowledge that though.
To get back to Romney being a Morman - I've got no problem with it, but I think a lot of the ultra-religious conservatives would have a problem with it. As it stands, only 1 President who was not of a Protestant lineage of some sort was ever elected and that was Kennedy, who was Catholic.
This whole notion was something that the original Framers wanted to avoid. You shouldn't vote for someone because of their religious convictions or spirituality. That's THEIR business, not anyone elses and it certainly doesn't make someone a better person or a better leader. Some of the most devout people are horrifically corrupt and in a sense evil in a lot of ways (Fred Phelps comes to mind). The Presidential candidate should be elected because of their leadership qualities, ability to be flexible and work with those who have fundamental differences, and should make decisions based on the good of the AMERICAN PEOPLE and not let religion or emotion cloud their judgement.
The fact that religion has even become the mainstay in political campaigning the way it has is disgusting to me.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Holy cow, did Galen actually say the economy was starting to "hum" now? Seriously? His version of hum and most of America's are very much different.
Re: Romney vs Obama?Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Romney vs Obama?
Sorry NC but you are in denial. Those are strong satanic symbols. Here are many of their
symbols. That Sun God in their temple was a Baal God. The verses by the signs in the link
explained them.
The Morrill Act was one of the first acts passed vs polygamy and because Mormons largely
practiced it. Smith preached it as early as the 1830 and had as many as 30-48 wives by
some counts. It expanded even greater under Young. Other polygamy acts were enacted later on. Buchanan sent the Army and Mormons feared they were sent to destroy them and built
up defenses.
I've given exact facts and references page numbers which you didn't respond to on what I've said while you're in denial.
Oh yea, even Mitt has ties to polygamy. He used to joke about it before he ran for office
but condemned on 60 Mins in the last campaign. His wife said other candidates like
Guiliani hasve been married twice while Mitt has only 1 wife.
His relatives going back to his great great grand father had as many as 12 wives.

Re: Romney vs Obama?
For example, the inverted cross is actually a representation of St. Peter's martyrdom on a crucifix when he demanded to be crucified upside down because he didn't feel he was worthy enough to die the same way that Christ had died.
The whole "inverted cross = satan" idea is actually more of a modern spin on something that is the opposite of Christ or mocking Christ or something along those lines, but in reality it was a symbol of humility and unworthiness from St. Peter.
This is a piece from St. Peter's Cathedral.
Here is a stained glass piece on Trinity Church displaying St. Peter's seal of the upside down cross.

Re: Romney vs Obama?
The Star of David is actually an old Pagan symbol defining the unity of a Man and Woman and the circle around it defines nature & the "circle of life" if you will. This was before it was the Seal of Solomon and the Star of David.
The Swastika or crooked cross predates Christianity and Mormanism by 1000's of years.
Finally, just one more example, is the so called "Cross of Confusion". The urban legend is that Romans questioned the validity of Christ so they created a symbol of a cross with an upside down question mark on it. It actually had nothing to do with that. If you look at it, it's a representation of a scythe and the symbol became a representation of Kronos or Saturn, who was the God of Aggriculture.
The idea that Paganism is an "occult" is inaccurate at best anyway. Time didn't "start" when Christianity did. Before the Bible was written and before anyone had thought of or founded Christianity there were millions of people who would use "Gods" or some for of deity to explain things in which they were incapable of explaining. It is and was just as credible of a religion as anything in modern times and IMO saying that they were not a religion and were an occult is horrifically biased and irresponsible.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Romney vs Obama?
Trap, we are just going to go around in circles so I am calling it quits on this one. Believe what you want about Mormons or any other religion.
Re: Romney vs Obama?
I grew up around a bunch of Mormons and lived in Utah for a ski-season (November to April) and I can tell you they are some of the nicest most thoughtful people I've ever come across. The fact Romney is a Mormon has nothing to do with why I would vote for him. I does make me think though about how people say he has no convictions, this man has been a member of church where you can't drink, smoke, gamble cuss etc. for almost his whole life. I get the flip flopping criticism and it's one of mine about him, but that is a fault of all politicians, not saying it's acceptable to me because they all share that just he's no different
Re: Romney vs Obama?
NC - It's not what I believe, it's what the Mormons believe as I have proven time and
time again. You can believe what you want and leave it at that. Again, I've used
page numbers from their doctrines and references from the BOM on what they
believe. I have shown they practiced polygamy and it was even in Romney's
I don't know what else to do. You are not going to believe even when I use
page numbers with direct quotes from their BOM and doctrines and direct
quotes from their discourses written by their officials from their founder on down.
Here's a detailed link showing over 3900 changes to the BOM. It was such an
embarrassment especially on spellings and other points like that it had to be changed.
And a question for Mormons is this:
If the original 1830 Book of Mormon was inspired than why were there so many errors and changes and additions and deletions, when compared to current editions?
You said the BOM was not a supplement and I proved that it is with direct
quotes from Young and LDS officials after them saying the Bible is in error. I studied
with them and said they don't believe in Christ the way we do.
And I havent even scratched the surface. Solo brought up the seering scam and how Smith was a con man. I said he was tried and convicted and you can still get the original transcripts from the court house in NY. I didn't even begin to
touch the surface on the magical seers and how his so called Revelations came from them.
And I didn't even get into baptism by proxy which means Mormons baptize the dead.
One Mormon was baptized 1M times to cover all his ancestors but the cult drew the line
when someone tried to Baptize Hitler. True.
I also didn't get into the golden plates the angel was supposed to have taken to heaven.
Only Smith and a few relatives ever saw these plates.
Christ was alive when he was Baptized and so was John the Baptist and all of us. The
Bible doesn't say this so it must be in their supplement. Nevertheless, they say it's
I first learned about Mormons and their polygamy and battle vs the US Army in my high school History course from my teacher, same with the polygamy but you would argue with him. That teacher called Joseph Smith the town drunk.
Books have been written like Kingdom of the Cults showing that it is a cult
but deny it if you want.

Re: Romney vs Obama?
Solo - with all due respect, why don't you do what I did and get together
with people that worship in the way you're arguing that. I studied with the
Mormons for 6 months and read the books they gave me along with other
Yes, some of the practices of the church like the preisthood (brotherhood) ane even the
rosary actually come from old Babylonian pagan practices. The old church just continued some of that as the pagans were converted but they didn't worship their Gods. Christmas and
Easter are two of these holidays but they don't mean what they meant back in those days.
The church was very primitive.
So was Israel. The Star of David was originally associated with magic but Jews have always
been attracted to it and Solomon incorporated it into his seal and then the entire country
adopted it as a national symbol and it waves in Israel's flag today. I read that Jews found
an artifact like it wandering around, picked it up and started using it. Here's its history.
So do what I did with the Mormons and try to infiltrate the Satanic Church
and you will see symbols and what they mean and how they use
them like the inverted Star.
NC should go to a Mormon meaning to see what they really believe. Oh, he
can't because he needs a photo ID to get into a Mormon temple. Instead, he
can come to my church with me. No IDs are required and Pastor Craig
will lead him to the Lord.
