Still hand foiling the wing tunnel. I think I'll put Kevlar on it and then go with the graphite resin finish for the hot coat. I want this thing to be strong. Roy how much do your stainless steel vents weigh ? I just got a 1.5" stainless steel vent from a local marine dealer but the thing weighs a ton ...
Looking good Charles. FaomEZ has a nice little black plastic vent with o-ring I've used a few times.

Christian Counseling-Mercy House of Meadville, Inc.
13180 Leslie Road, Ste. 2, Meadville, Pennsylvania 16335
Many Christians come to Mercy House because they have a faith approach to life. They don't want someone to brush that aside. Each of our 8 therapist are Christians. They will integrate Christian principals into your counseling, will respect your principals and encourage faith as a tool to help you heal. We understand that people are mind/body/spirit and to leave our "spiritual self" unaddressed is lop-sided counseling. It's like a 3 legged stool trying to stand on two legs. So feel free to discuss this area with your counselor. We are probably the only center that has a monthly staff training on spirituality integration.

Hello ladies, i realize the title makes me sound like a teenager but i'm not - could not think of a better way to phrase this.
DH(yayy tied the knot when lo was 9months, feels good to call him DH (dear husband) on posts now :) and I are 32 and 28 respectively. I am in graduate school full time, and I also work 20 hours a week. DH (dear husband) works full time. His family lives out of the country; after the baby was born and after struggling with babysitters etc we asked his mom, who is retired and widowed, to come up and help us out with the baby. We reached this decision together, and his mom is an amazing woman and she has been such a huge help to us the past few months. She was delighted to help out, and me and her get along very well. She's been staying with us and looking after LO (little one) since January, and will continue to help out until I finish school next year.
Now, DH (dear husband) and I have not DTD (do the deed) since January. And frankly there has not been a discussion about it either. At first I thought oh let me let things settle down after his mom arrived. And then a week went by, two weeks, a month, and here were are, alsmost a year later.I feel kind of rejected really. Since January he sleeps in an extra guest bedroom. I tried to sneeak in one night and it was locked! I feel completely weird about this situation - we've never been with either parents for longer than a week or so. Is it just weird to DTD (do the deed) with you parents in the house - is that what it is? I don't want to bring it up and then realise i've made a crazy suggestion, and its just not done?
This has been eating me up and haven't told a soul, so glad for BBC! Thank you ladies, you can be brutally honest - i need some perspective.

Love Therapy
Theater review by Jenna Scherer. DR2 Theatre (see Off Broadway). By Wendy Beckett. Dir. Evan Bergman. With ensemble cast. 1hr 30mins. No intermission.
Much like a marriage on the rocks, there's as much worth keeping in Wendy Beckett's new play as there is worth dumping. Chronicling the efforts of a naively idealistic marriage-counselor-in-training, Love Therapy starts out plodding, picks up the pace and then abruptly ends.
The appropriately wide-eyed Margot White stars as Colleen, who approaches her therapy practice as though cartoon sparrows were flying around her head. Trusting in the healing power of love (seriously), she underreacts to obvious warning signs in her patients: Both the divorce-embroiled husband with a history of violence (Christopher Burns) and the suicidially depressed widow (Janet Zarish) are treated with soothing words and firm squeezes on the shoulder. The line between treater and treated blurs even more when Colleen starts to have feelings for a gruffly charming womanizer (David Bishins) whose marriage she's supposed to be repairing. Talk about transference.
Bizarrely, this couples counselor never works with any couples, which would have helped break up Beckett's string of almost entirely two-person scenes. When the characters carom off each other in ways we wouldn't expect, it can be electric, but it doesn't happen enough.
The design and direction in Evan Bergman's production—sudden transitions, a blandly futuristic set, piped-in elevator-techno—don't match the material. Still, there are strong performances here, particularly from Bishins as the Louis C.K.–esque existential rogue and Alison Fraser as a sassy Irish waitress. As for poor Colleen, she only really becomes interesting in her disintegration, which comes too late in the play; things fall apart, but we never get to see what emerges from the rubble.—Jenna Scherer

i like the bottom one better but im trying to come up with a more abstract throw, crits?
@phat word homie thanks
Did it a min ago. Does it have any potential?
Last edited by Dreg one; 08-12-2011 at 09:59 AM.
@dreg one im diggin that style the a on the bottom one could use some work plus im not diggin the T that much
@sneez i like that you might want to trim up the 3d and maybe bring the letters a little closer together
Thanks, I don't know what it is, the right hand legs of the H and A keep pulling up. The T was what I felt most iffy about myself, any suggestions?
Sneez, I think it has potential yes, but the colours are taking away from the form right now if you ask me. Try it black fill, white outline, red force, I think that might make it look cool. Also, if you can find a way, I would try to pull the letters a bit closer without taking too much away from their current form.
OZON, there is a lot to be said, but I will say that a drop shadow is supposed to look like your letter completely blacked out with your coloured letter laying on top of it, but just a touch NE, SE, SW or NW. Figuring out drop shadowing to a certain degree (I am obviously learning too) will define your letters so much more.
i need some work on this but im trying to get something street worthy
New name that I've been fuckin with lately. Thoughts?
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not you go out and look for a successful personality an duplicate it.
yo mone, I think you should fatten up the top right of the N, right above the circle. Only a little bit though, and maybe make the middle of the M smaller and change the right side of it a bit. It reminds me of an E haha
My first throwup, no fill.
Liking that Sandman, hey you from NZ? I am too
Sick man! You write aesop?

I think your L and D are a bit weird, and try to keep all your letters the same size dude.

CROWDS gathered on the seafront at Woodside today for the unveiling of a special memorial commemorating the heroic actions connected with the sinking of HMS Birkenhead in 1852.
Designed by art student Jemma Twigg, the sculpture and plaque was revealed by Wirral's mayor Cllr Dave Mitchell, alongside Lord Lieutenant of Merseyside Dame Lorna Muirhead, at 11am, watched by an audience of more than 100 people.
As the plaque was revealed, a band played the hymn Nearer, my God, to Thee.
It is a fitting tribute to the courageous troops who perished in shark-infested waters off the Cape of Good Hope in 1852, after standing firm to allow passengers to safely board an inadequate number of lifeboats.
It gave rise to the "women and children" first protocol when abandoning ship. Famously used on board the Titanic it became known as the Birkenhead Drill.
The heroism of the servicemen aboard HMS Birkenhead inspired the Rudyard Kipling poem Soldier and Sailor Too.
Extracts from the poem were read out during the ceremony by Wirral's Young Poet Laureate Xanthe Brennan.
Speaking prior to the unveiling Cllr Mitchell said: "It is sad to see that it has taken so long for something of such great importance to be recognised in Birkenhead.
"We know that the government erected a monument to the bravery of the soldiers and sailors shortly after the event – but it was at Chelsea Barracks."
The commemoration project was initiated up by Andrew Liston, a crewman at New Brighton's Lifeboat Station, who learnt more of the tragedy whilst visiting South Africa.
After discovering there was no tribute to the HMS Birkenhead in Wirral he joined forces with memorials officer Peter Lee to have a permanent memorial built to highlight the internationally important event.
Cammell-Laird bosses agreed to sponsor the project and provide half of the prize money, as well as agreeing to have their apprentices build the final design.
All Merseyside art colleges were invited to design a memorial of what the HMS Birkenhead stood for.
Watch a video of the ceremony below.

But Ann Michelle likes the person Raq brings out of her, and one night, she sneaks out to go to a concert with her new friend. True to her rock star lifestyle, Raq scores the girls backstage passes, and soon Ann Michelle finds herself face to face with her favorite hip hop artist, Piper. Ann Michelle introduces herself to him as Glitz, and with that first simple lie, her personality whirlwinds into a sexy, confident, bold girl.

As a parent, you're committed to providing the very best care for your baby. And so are we. From our choice of essential ingredients to our safe, gentle and mild formulas, we've been applying the highest JOHNSON'S® Brand standards in baby care to our products for over 100 years. Today the JOHNSON'S® Brand family includes more than 50 products, all of them carefully formulated and designed with you and your baby in mind.
Developing a new product takes years of research, review and testing. Importantly, this involves talking to moms throughout every phase of the process to better understand their needs.
Over the years, we've listened to feedback and carefully studied how moms interact and bond with their babies. These insights help us design new products that assist you with everyday baby care needs — from skin and hair care to even routines that help your baby sleep better.
Our on-going partnerships with pediatricians, pediatric dermatologists, midwives and nurses help guide our new product development. Beyond these partnerships with health care professionals, we also turn to leading scientific experts to gather valuable information on the latest discoveries; trends and technologies to bring innovation to our baby skin and hair care products. Before any new JOHNSON'S® baby product becomes available for your baby, it must first pass our five-level safety assurance process that adheres to the JOHNSON'S® BEST FOR BABY™ Standard.
Because we have the highest ideals for your baby, every JOHNSON'S® product available to moms and babies is guided by our "BEST FOR BABY™ Standard." That means safety is our priority. However, when it comes to what's ideal for babies, we go well beyond safety to ensure that every product builds in our highest levels of comfort. That's why we promise to deliver only products designed specially for baby that are gentle and mild.
The JOHNSON'S® Brand values the trust that moms and health care professionals have placed in us for over 100 years. We make sure our standards are always set high — and work every day to ensure that we meet them.
Today, these standards are embodied in our five-level safety assurance process which is guided by leading scientific and medical experts from around the globe. As part of this process, we conduct ongoing research and continually review the latest scientific findings, and we actively engage with external experts, like pediatricians, pediatric dermatologists, midwives and nurses.
All JOHNSON'S® products must pass through this comprehensive process to ensure they're appropriate for your baby. Safety is at the heart of this process, and our ingredients are all carefully selected and reviewed for safety, and our product formulations are clinically evaluated using appropriate testing.
We also conduct real-world evaluations with moms, and we never stop monitoring what you say about our products. You've told us that the trust you have in JOHNSON'S® products means going beyond the testing — that it's more than science measuring the safety of our products. This is the main reason why we made the decision to reduce or eliminate certain ingredients you weren't comfortable with by the end of 2013.
We're proud to be the first major company to set and meet this public commitment and we'll continue to make further enhancements to our baby products by the end of 2015. Hear from our head of Product Stewardship about what we've accomplished.
As science advances and your preferences change, we'll continue to listen and evolve our products — so you can have complete peace of mind whenever you bring them into your home.
Clinically Proven Mildness™ Formula
Touch is your baby's very first language. To enhance that special communication with your baby, it's important to maintain healthy and hydrated skin. For just that reason, the JOHNSON'S® Brand pioneered research into the unique nature of infant skin — research that provides the foundation for product development.
This research showed us that baby skin is much thinner than adults' and is therefore more vulnerable to irritants 1,2. To help protect your baby's skin from dryness, we developed JOHNSON'S® baby lotion, specially formulated to respect the unique differences of a baby's skin. JOHNSON'S® baby lotion is just one of the many JOHNSON'S® products which carries the CLINICALLY PROVEN MILDNESS™ trademark, letting moms and healthcare professionals know they can trust this product for baby's delicate skin.

No More Tears® Formula
Introduced in 1953, JOHNSON'S® baby shampoo was the first specially formulated product to be as mild to a baby's eyes as pure water. We know just how different a baby's still developing eyes are, and we also know that they need to be protected from potential irritation—like accidental splashes in the bath or during shampooing. Our unique knowledge of babies and the importance of developing products designed specially for their unique needs, including their eyes, led our scientists to invent JOHNSON'S® baby shampoo with its NO MORE TEARS®formula. And since that time, we've developed NO MORE TEARS® formula body cleansers, too, like JOHNSON'S® baby HEAD-TO-TOE® baby wash and JOHNSON'S® baby bubble bath & wash.
The NO MORE TEARS® trademark is more than just a symbol on a bottle. It tells mothers that the product is gentle and mild for her baby. Each product that carries this trademark has passed rigorous and comprehensive evaluation to ensure its safety and mildness in the case of accidental splashes. We've even tested competitor products against our standards and found failures—even when their label says "no tears" or "no sting."
Our four-stages are:
1. Ingredient & Formulation Review
Every single one of our ingredients and the combined formulation are all rigorously evaluated for safety.
2. Pre-clinical safety evaluation
Our safety groups comprehensively examine these products to ensure safety.
3. Clinical testing on eyes
Clinical assessments of eye irritation potential conducted by board-certified ophthalmologists, including tearing, stinging, and redness.
4. Medical Review
We conduct a thorough review of all data to ensure the product has earned the NO MORE TEARS® trademark.

When it comes to products for your baby, it's essential to choose only the ones made from appropriate ingredients and that are formulated to be safe, gentle and mild. Preservatives are commonly used in personal care products to prevent the growth of yeast, bacteria or mold. Without being properly preserved, product quality and even safety, can be compromised. Products having microbial growth can cause skin irritation and even infection. Because preservatives play an important role in many products, it's important to know what you're choosing for your baby.
Quality baby-care products use the most appropriate preservative ingredients for each individual formulation. Preservative selection depends on several key factors, including:
- the type, nature and condition of the product;
- who's expected to use it;
- how it's intended to be used.
We are very selective about choosing preservatives for our baby products. We know they will be used on children 0-3 years of age, and that they might be used in products that will be used near the eye, mouth, nose or diaper area. We consider other factors, too, such as whether:
- will the product be used frequently, or stored over a long period of time and only used now and again
- will the product be stored in a wet environment (like the edge of your bathtub) or in a humid area (like the bathroom)
Recently we completed a global reformulation of JOHNSON'S® products to remove certain preservatives based on your preferences. These products have been rolling out globally since early 2013, and will continue over the coming months.Back to top
Government regulations and oversight
The JOHNSON'S® Brand complies with all regulations in the markets in which we operate, and often exceeds them with our own high standards.
In the United States, regulatory oversight of cosmetic products, including preservative ingredients, is the responsibility of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Among its responsibilities, the FDA has the authority to ban or restrict ingredients due to safety concerns. The FDA reviews information from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR), an independent scientific body that thoroughly reviews and assesses the safety of ingredients and publishes results in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
In the European Union, the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) is responsible for the safety evaluation of cosmetic ingredients.Back to top
Selecting the safest preservatives
The JOHNSON'S® Brand takes great care in determining the best way to preserve our products to ensure our highest quality standards for the entire life of the product.
Although there are many preservatives approved for use by regulatory agencies worldwide (estimated more than 60), the JOHNSON'S® Brand is very selective about the preservatives it will use in its baby products — using only a small number of those which are available.
Every preservative ingredient must pass our five-level safety assurance process as well as the JOHNSON'S® BEST FOR BABY™ Standard link to for safety. When selecting preservatives, the JOHNSON'S® Brand adheres to other safety steps, including:
- Ongoing review of the most up-to-date research and available data on preservative ingredients
- Identifying potential factors that may have an impact on the effectiveness and safety of the product's use, including how it will be used and where it will be stored
- Evaluating all suppliers of our ingredients to ensure they conform to our high standards for quality and safety.
Our highest priority is you and your baby. That's why we take the greatest care in developing safe baby products that are mild and gentle — and that are BEST FOR BABY™ products.Back to top

SIGNAL HILL - For Nelson Academy seventh- grader Michelle Casian, the first day of school was a day filled with new experiences.
"New school. New faces. New teachers. Everything is new," said the 12-year-old as she looked around the crowded courtyard.
"It's exciting, but a little scary."
More than 80,000 students headed back to school on Wednesday for the first official day in the Long Beach Unified School District. It was also a big day for Signal Hill, which celebrated the grand opening of the new Jessie Elwin Nelson Academy, the city's first middle school.
The LBUSD serves the city of Signal Hill.
"We've been wanting this for a long time, and we're absolutely elated," said Signal Hill Councilman Larry Forester, who visited Nelson Academy on Wednesday. "This is an exciting day for Signal Hill."
The school's namesake, Jessie Elwin Nelson, was a co-founder of Signal Hill and its first mayor. Born Jessie Le Master in 1903 in Clarksville, Tenn., she came to Long Beach with her husband, Z.T. Nelson, and was one of the first women mayors in Southern California.
The 89,288-square-foot school at 1951 Cherry Ave. is built to serve 850 middle school students in grades six through eight. The school is fitted with state-of-the-art technology, including flat-screen televisions in classrooms, high-efficiency lighting systems and water conservation fixtures. The school boasts a regulation-sized soccer field and a new gymnasium designed to be used by the community for sporting events.
"The school is just beautiful," said Nelson Principal Denise "Sparkle" Peterson, the former principal of Butler Middle School. "The students are so happy."
Nelson Academy is home mostly to hundreds of former Butler students, who were transferred to Nelson following a school reshuffling this year. Butler Middle School, located in Central Long Beach near Long Beach City College, is now housing students from Roosevelt Elementary, while Roosevelt is being rebuilt with Measure K funds. School officials said Roosevelt, which opened in 1921, is an aging campus in need of renovations.
The school, which cost $45 million, is part of a number of projects funded through Measure K bond money under Long Beach Unified's School Facility Master Plan, which includes renovation, construction and technology projects in the school district.
Approved by voters in 2008, Measure K sets aside $1.2 billion from property taxes to build and renovate local schools. By law, Measure K funds can be used only to repair and construct schools.
In another major project, the LBUSD last year broke ground on the new Ernest S. McBride High School in East Long Beach, which is set to open in fall 2013. When McBride opens, it will be the first of several small high schools planned in the district.
In addition to a brand-new school, Nelson Academy students will be getting new technology. The school late this month will be giving each of the 750 students iPads to use in class and at home. School officials say the goal is to provide a powerful tool for the classroom and engage students in new technology.
The shift to wireless technology is, in part, driven by requirements in the state's Common Core Standards that by 2016, all students will take standardized tests online, officials said. Nelson is the district's first school to integrate wireless iPad technology. School officials said the iPads at Nelson will serve as a pilot program that will help the entire school district integrate technology.

More about the Fang Skulls:
The Army of Ulster was afflicted, a curse brought on by angering the gods. Not a man could stand and fight the invasion of King Ailill's Army. Not a man, but a warrior-boy of 17 who had yet to grow his beard.
His eyes were dark, his expression sullen, youthful, and beardless; yet he'd fought and always won! As he strode out to meet the army of the enemy single-handed, they cried out: "They send us a boy without a beard! How can his severed beardless head grace the spires of any of our chariots?"
Ignoring their taunts, the warp spasm seized him and fangs protruded from his mouth to match the length of his sword and spear blade, this was why he was known as the Hound of Ulster.
Undaunted, he fought like a man possessed, for three days and nights until the evening sky blackened on the fourth day. Weak from hunger and blood loss, the Hound of Ulster, tethered himself to a rock, so as to not fall before the army of his enemies. Singlehandedly he fought them all, absorbing their spears and arrows, smiting them with spear and sword; lashing with fang and shield.
Hanging from his rock, black blood pouring from 1,000 wounds... they dare not come any closer, not knowing if the warrior still lived. A morrigan perched on his shoulder and ripped a chunk of his flesh with its black beak. Seeing the bloody morsel go down the raven's gullet and knowing he was dead, the warlords came forward and fought for the right to take his head. While they fought, the army from Ulster came forward, in his last battle he had held off the enemy long enough for the men to recover and rout them. Not long enough for King Ailill to claim his skull as a trophy.
"His beardless head will hang from the hilt of my sword. A truer Warrior was never born nor ever shown himself before this day"

Camino: Seven Thoughts from Indians Spring Training
(GOODYEAR, Ariz.) – The 2014 season is getting closer for the Cleveland Indians and while many of their questions have been answered when it comes to the 25-man roster, manager Terry Francona and his staff still have some difficult decisions to make before March 31.
Along with taking a look at some of the roster spots and competitions, we'll also break down some of the latest news and notes surrounding the Tribe.
Here are seven thoughts from Indians spring training:
1. Fifth starter competition: When pitchers and catchers reported to camp on Feb. 11, there were five guys competing for the final spot in the Indians rotation. With four spots already locked up by Justin Masterson, Corey Kluber, Zach McAllister and Danny Salazar, only one spot remained for the taking between Carlos Carrasco, Trevor Bauer, Shaun Marcum, Aaron Harang and Josh Tomlin. While Francona has not made an official announcement, it is safe to assume that the fifth starter competition is only down to three of the original five pitchers; Tomlin, Carrasco and Harang. Bauer is certainly still in the Indians future plans, however he is still getting comfortable with a new delivery, while Marcum has only recently started throwing again as most of the spring he's been recovering from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. Carrasco will most certainly be on the Tribe's Opening Day 25-man roster, the only question is whether he will be a part of the starting rotation or the bullpen. All three (Harang, Tomlin and Carrasco) have pitched well in spring camp and Francona has admitted it will be a difficult decision during the final few days of camp.
2. Santana at 3B: Carlos Santana is attempting to make one of the more rare transitions that the Indians have ever seen. Players have gone from shortstop to third base (Jhonny Peralta), or even infield to outfield and then back to infield (Russell Branyan). However, the transition from catcher to third base is not something team's normally attempt with a player. The Indians are serious about putting Santana at the hot corner in 2014. Throughout spring training Santana has played third base and after a few early hiccups, he's actually looked comfortable there. It should be noted, Santana came up as a third baseman originally while with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The bottom line is, the Indians desperately need Santana's bat in the lineup (he'll hit cleanup), but they also want Yan Gomes to be their everyday catcher. At the same time, Santana did not was to solely DH for the club. This will certainly affect Lonnie Chisenhall, but if Santana can handle third base while also being the Tribe's backup catcher, his value to the club will certainly increase.

3. Bench spots: There are many factors that will go into who fills out the final few spots on the Indians bench. Yes, Ryan Raburn and Mike Aviles already locked down jobs and are both under contract with Cleveland. However, recent injuries to Jason Giambi (non-displaced rib fracture) and Michael Bourn (hamstring tightness) could open the door for other utility players in camp, specifically some of the non-roster invitees. How often Santana plays third base will also affect some of the Indians roster decisions. Due to the uncertainty with some injuries and Santana's future play-time at the hot corner, it's silly to estimate how many spots are open on the Tribe's roster. What can be done however, is look at some of the candidates for those final bench jobs. Among the players who have had solid camps and may be putting themselves into the best position to win jobs on the Indians big league club includes OF Jeff Francoeur, OF Nyjer Morgan, INF/OF Elliot Johnson, C Matt Treanor, INF Justin Sellers and INF Bryan LaHair.
4. Giambi & Bourn injuries: The injury bug stopped by Indians camp this past week and while they were not major injuries, the temporary losses of Jason Giambi and Michael Bourn may open up other roster spots for the time being. Giambi, who was drilled by an Edwin Jackson cut-fastball, suffered a non-displaced rib fracture that will keep him out 3-4 weeks, while Bourn suffered a tightness in his left hamstring. While a rib fracture is painful and takes time to heal, Giambi should be back by the middle of April. Bourn, however; will miss the next seven days and the question that arises is, "Will this hamstring injury linger all season?" Bourn says, no, citing that while it is the same hamstring that he had surgically repaired at the end of last season it is in a different spot. But a hamstring is a hamstring, and if the nagging injury is not monitored properly, the Tribe's speedy leadoff man will not be nearly as effective as in his previous seasons. Bourn's injury will be worth keeping an eye on over the next several weeks.

5. Lofton vs. Swisher: It's not often that something that occurred three months ago comes back into the spotlight, but apparently the feud between former Indians All-Star center fielder Kenny Lofton and current Tribe first baseman Nick Swisher is being talked about once again. Lofton and Swisher exchanged words back in January at the club's annual "TribeFest" event, after Lofton contested that Cleveland did not make the playoffs at the end of the 2013 season. Lofton claimed that a one-game wildcard playoff is not the same as a playoff series. Swisher was unhappy with Lofton's comments and made that clear to Lofton himself. MLB.com columnist Anthony Castrovince gives a more in-depth look at the situation here: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/anthony-castrovince-indians-bond-unquestioned?ymd=20140317&content_id=69498922&vkey=news_mlb . While the feud is unfortunate, it tells something about each guy. Lofton is still an outspoken person never afraid to speak his mind, while Swisher is a leader of a club hoping to go even deeper into the postseason in 2014.
6. Grady Sizemore comeback: He's probably already the frontrunner to take home the "Comeback Player of the Year Award", well…if he can continue what he's started in Fort Myers, Fla. Former Indians All-Star center fielder and Gold Glove Award Winner Grady Sizemore is attempting a monumental comeback with the Boston Red Sox that is already putting him in the conversation to be their starting center fielder. Yes, it's safe to say that Sizemore is in a full-blown competition with Jackie Bradley Jr. Sizemore is hitting well, running well and three of his catches in center field this spring have already made ESPN's "Sportscenter". This is truly an amazing comeback for Sizemore who battled numerous knee injuries, as well as a sports hernia and lower back micro discectomy. Red Sox manager John Farrell is familiar with Sizemore considering he was the Indians Minor League farm director while Grady played with Cleveland. When asked what he remembers most about Sizemore, Terry Francona said, "Word gets around pretty quick when guy's are like Grady [Sizemore], the All-American kid. He's such a good player," Francona said. "He looked like he was going to be one of the faces of baseball, unfortunately his knees didn't cooperate."
7. Expectations: Earlier in March I released my American League Central Division predictions, they look like this:
1. Cleveland Indians
2. Detroit Tigers
3. Chicago White Sox
4. Kansas City Royals
5. Minnesota Twins
Along with picking the Tribe to win the AL-Central, I pegged them for 91 wins. This is the first time in five years that I've picked the Indians to win their division and while it feels like expectations have been raised for the upcoming 2014 season due to the success the club had a year ago, that is not the case internally. Francona, his staff, the front office and the players all had high expectations last season…the only difference now is that fans and the media are also high on the Tribe and what they may be able to accomplish this year. The Bovada Sports Book in Las Vegas, Nevada has the Indians UNDER/OVER on wins set at 80 ½…that feels low. But in order for the Tribe to reach my projection of winning the division and 91 wins, a lot is going to have to go right for them.

CSF coccidioides complement fixationCoccidioides antibody test - spinal fluid
CSF coccidioides complement fixationis a test that check for infection due to the fungus Coccidioides immitis in the cerebrospinal (CSF) fluid. This is the fluid surrounding the brain and spine.
A sample of spinal fluid is needed for this test. The sample is usually obtained by lumbar puncture (spinal tap).
The sample is sent to a laboratory where it is examined for Coccidiodes antibodies using a laboratory method called complementfixation. This technique checks if your body has produced substances called antibodies to a specific foreign substance (antigen), in this case Coccidioides immitis. Antibodies defend your body against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. If the antibodies are present, they stick, or "fix" themselves, to the antigen. This is why the test is called "fixation."
Aconsent form must be signed. Expect to remain in the hospital for several hours afterward.
There are different ways to get a sample of CSF. Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is the most common method. During the test:
- You lie on your side with knees pulled up toward your chest and chin tucked downward. Or, you sit up, but bent forward.
- After your back is cleaned, the doctor injects a local numbing medicine (anesthetic) into your lower spine.
- A spinal needle is inserted, usually into the lower back area.
- Once the needle is properly positioned, CSF pressure is measured and a sample is collected.
- The needle is removed, the area is cleaned, and a bandage is placed over the needle site.
- You are taken to a recovery area where you rest for several hours to prevent any CSF leakage.
Complement fixation is one of several tests for the fungus Coccidioides immitis.
The absence of fungus (a negative test) is normal.
If the test is positive for fungus, there may be an active infection in the central nervous system.
Risks of lumbar puncture include:
- Bleeding into the spinal canal
- Discomfort during the test
- Headache after the test
- Hypersensitivity (allergic) reaction to the anesthetic
- Infection introduced by the needle going through the skin
- Damage to the nerves in the spinal cord, especially if the person moves during the test
In some cases, this test may be done as a blood test.
During the early stage of an illness, few antibodies may be detected. Antibody production increases during the course of an infection. For this reason, this test may be repeated several weeks after the first test.
An abnormal spinal fluid testmeans that the central nervous system is infected. But an abnormal blood test does not pinpoint the exact area of infection. It only means that there is a coccidioides infection somewhere in the body.

Hyman smeared university professors, including one who regularly refutes "The Point"
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
On the February 16 edition of "The Point," Sinclair Broadcast Group vice president Mark Hyman smeared two university professors and a college's women's studies program, distorting statements and taking them out of context in order to argue that American universities are home to "unemployable individuals [who] are paid to proselytize intellectually bankrupt viewpoints."
Hyman claimed that University of Iowa adjunct assistant professor of rhetoric Ted Remington condones plagiarism. Though Remington authors a weblog titled "The Counterpoint," which features near-daily refutations to "The Point," Hyman identified Remington simply as "The University of Iowa's Ted Remington."
Hyman said that Remington "cautions that while plagiarizing work shortchanges the student's own learning it doesn't really hurt anybody." Then he quoted a single sentence from the course guidelines for an online rhetoric course that Remington co-teaches. Hyman excerpted these guidelines out of context to make it appear that Remington regards plagiarism as harmless. Here's the out-of-context quotation Hyman used:
While plagiarism is often defined as 'stealing' someone else's words or ideas, it is rarely the case that published writers or public speakers are harmed by having their words or their thoughts 'stolen' by a college student.
In fact, the guidelines were intended to discourage plagiarism, as is clear from the sentences immediately before and after the excerpt that Hyman used (in italics):
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense that entails presenting the words and/or ideas of others as though they were original to you. While plagiarism is often defined as "stealing" someone else's words or ideas, it is rarely the case that published writers or public speakers are harmed by having their words or their thoughts "stolen" by a college student. On the contrary, the real harm of plagiarism is the harm that students do to themselves. Encountering new ideas and information, thinking about them critically, and finding effective language to express independent thinking is the central activity of a college education. When students "steal" the words or thoughts of another and present them as their own original words and ideas, they shortchange themselves educationally.
Moreover, the guidelines Hyman quoted do not list Remington as an author, and Remington claims he had "nothing to do" with writing them. Indeed, while Remington is listed as the "Course Instructor" on the course homepage, four other professors are listed as "Coursewriters."
Hyman also claimed Michael R. Ball, professor of sociology at University of Wisconsin-Superior, "announced in a published paper that he discovered the common thread of hate groups: Christianity." Then Hyman quipped: "I'll make certain to mention this to all of the Christian suicide-bombers in the Middle East." In fact, Ball's 1996 paper focused specifically on American hate groups, and it did not identify Christianity in general as a motivation for hate. Rather, Ball identified a particular ideology, "Christian Identity" -- a distinct and extremist ideology that has little to do with mainstream Christianity -- as one of several "common threads" among the groups he studied. Here's the key excerpt from Ball's paper:
Although each hate group had its specific emphasis, we found common threads of ideology which were woven through all. (note 7) These included Christian Identity or similar religious beliefs, white separatism as a part of the "natural order," religious justifications for violence, the "right to keep and bear arms," opposition to political "liberalism" in any form, strict separation of male and female roles, opposition to Affirmative Action, welfare, or other "governmental meddling."
Space limits me from explaining each of these in depth, although I would like to briefly discuss Christian Identity because of its centrality and its pervasiveness among racist groups.
Christian Identity (note 8) is a modern version of the "British Israelism" espoused by Henry Ford and others in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. (note 9) This belief holds that in the beginning, God created the "beast of the field," including many resembling humans. These beasts (referred to as "mud people," or "mud races") were not human, lacking a soul. Finally, God created the "Adamic (white) race" and instilled its members with souls. ... British Israelism held that members of "the British race" were the true Israelites, while current Christian Identity believes that the true Israelites are members of any of the ten "Aryan nations" including the major countries of western Europe, the United States, and Canada. In their view, whenever the Bible speaks of conflicts, war and evil, it is in reference to maintaining their "race" from contamination or annihilation.
Finally, Hyman warned that "there is no diversity in the University of Illinois at Chicago's Gender and Women's Studies program." * As proof, he explained: "The department's official newsletter includes extremist positions such as advocating sexual identity protest marches, offering a first-hand account of giving an abortion to a 16-year-old and informing readers that pro-life positions are tied to domestic abuse."
In fact, the article entitled "Why Come Out" (p. 8) was a firsthand account of an event at the university marking National Coming Out Day. The Human Rights Campaign website alone lists dozens of events for National Coming Out Day 2004, suggesting that such events are hardly "extremist."
The newsletter's "first-hand account" of an abortion was a single sentence of a 1,200-word article (p. 6) in which the author described her work as a Planned Parenthood family planning counselor. The author describes how she "reviewed options" with the 16-year-old after informing her of her positive pregnancy test.
The newsletter did not state that "pro-life positions are tied to domestic abuse." Rather, one article (p. 4) described a reproductive rights conference at the university that a student group had organized. The article highlighted several notable presentations, including one titled "Anti-violence, Pro-choice." Here's what the article said:
At a workshop entitled "Anti-violence, Pro-choice," presenter Cara Thaxton (Horizons Community Services) talked about the connection between being against domestic violence, rape and violence against women, and being pro-choice. She argued that until women are seen as independent human beings capable of making their own choices, including the complex decisions of whether to have an abortion or not, they will not be considered equal to men and will continue to be controlled through physical or legislative violence.
"The Point" is a two-minute conservative commentary by Hyman that airs nightly on the 62 television stations Sinclair owns or operates. Media Matters for America leads SinclairAction.com, a coalition of groups and individuals protesting Sinclair's continued misuse of public airwaves to air one-sided, politically charged programming without a counterpoint.
The transcript of the February 16 edition of "The Point" on Sinclair's News Central website incorrectly quoted Hyman as claiming that "there is no diversity in the University of Illinois at Chicago's Graduate Women's Studies program." This misquotation appeared in the original version of this item, which relied on News Central's transcript. In fact, Hyman used the program's correct title, the Gender and Women's Studies program. As Media Matters for America has noted, this transcript and the accompanying video have vanished from News Central's website, but the Google cache of the missing transcript reveals the transcription error.

SYLMAR, CA -- The end of 2013 marked Anton Conaway's 25th anniversary with the leading bulk vending supplier. Conaway is division manager of A&A Global Industries' Sylmar, CA, branch. He started his career as a warehouse laborer at A&A's headquarters on the East Coast and eventually advanced into sales and management.
"I can't believe how fast 25 years goes by," said A&A vice-president and co-owner Steven Kovens. "It seems like yesterday that Anton was a new hire in our Maryland warehouse and now he is division manager of our Los Angeles branch."
To commemorate the occasion, Conaway was presented with the traditional crystal award and watch during a celebration at the California office. He also received some back pay. Conaway was originally hired through an employment agency, which deducted its fee from his checks over the course of his first year at the company. So A&A presented Conaway with a $1,000 check to reimburse him for those agency fees.
"My brother Steven and I are very proud of Anton and his amazing accomplishments over the past 25 years," added A&A president Brian Kovens. "His importance to our team is immeasurable."

Kevin Roper was driving a truck for Wal-Mart and had been up for 24 hours straight when he dozed off and failed to notice traffic had stopped in front of him. His semi hit the limo bus carrying Morgan and others and the bus flipped over, killing one and injuring four. Roper didn't say anything in or out of court which marked a change from his Tweets which said he was only charged after police discovered one of the injured was Tracy Morgan and that he was being treated unfairly because Morgan is a celebrity.

Fritz Haeg
Artist/gardener/educator/architect Fritz Haeg has a geodesic dome in Los Angeles, California, that serves as his home, studio and eclectic "schoolhouse" for visitors. Haeg brings this multi-purpose approach to the creation of "Edible Estates," an ongoing agricultural project that replaces suburban lawns in the United States and England with highly productive domestic edible landscapes. Sponsored by local art institutions and horticultural organizations, these functional art-farms challenge preconceptions about land use and subvert the "toxic uniformity" of suburbia.
To date, Edible Estates have been created in Salina Kansas, Lakewook California, Maplewood New Jersey and London England, with other locations under development. Local partnerships include not only the local residents responsible for farming their lawns but museums such as the Tate Modern in London, The Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles and sponsors as diverse as the Ford Motor Company, the Los Angeles County Fair and a variety of charitable foundations. According to the artist, "I'm not interested in big monuments. I'm interested in singular gestures that become models --- small gestures in response to common issues that can be instituted by anyone in the world. And in that way, my projects on . .(Read more)

And yes, alfa 36H works out of the box, want to see it?..Boot using BT5r3 live DVD.
Are your USB ports enabled in VM? I have never and will never use VMWare, I use VM from Oracle and it requires guest-additions package to use USB ports. Again, Ignore the VMWare function.

Report: Accused Fort Hood shooter draws salary while victims struggle
Alleged Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan has been paid more than $278,000 in salary since the Nov. 5, 2009 shooting that resulted in 13 deaths and 32 injuries, according to Dallas-Fort Worth's NBC 5 Investigates.
The Dallas Fort Worth news team reported that the Department of Defense confirmed that Major Hasan has continued to receive his salary because he has not yet been proven guilty. The rule is documented in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Hasan's continued salary was first reported in 2011.
NBC 5 Investigates reports that soldiers injured in the shooting spree are having to fight to "receive the same pay and medical benefits to those wounded in combat."
Because the government doesn't classify the shooting as an act of combat or terror, those injured don't receive additional pay or Purple Hearts, NBC 5 Investigates reports. The government has called the incident an act of "workplace violence."
The designation is an important one with real world effects for those injured in the shooting. NBC 5 Investigates spoke with Retired Army Spc. Logan Burnett. At the time of the shooting, the reservist was about to deploy to Iraq. He was shot three times by the gunman.
Via NBCDFW.com:
"Sickens me. Absolutely sickens me. Workplace violence? I don't even know if I have the words to say," said Burnett.
"They don't need to be treated like this. They don't need to sit and fight every day for this benefit or that," said [wife] Torey Burnett.
As that fight continues, Burnett was stunned to see a letter detailing the more $278,000 Hasan has been paid since his arrest. NBC 5 Investigates received the letter from the Department of Defense in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
"There have been times when my wife and I cannot afford groceries. We cannot afford gas in our car," Burnett said. "Literally, times where we ate Ramen noodles for weeks on end. This [that Hasan is still earning a paycheck] makes me sick to my stomach," said Burnett.
Opening arguments for the trial are expected to begin on July 1. Hasan faces the death penalty. He was shot during the attack and is paralyzed from the chest down.

Assessment Prep : Make copies of the Assessment you have chosen to use.
Day 1
Now read the essay, Forest Research & Development History together as a class (silently at desk or out loud). Assign Worksheet 1 (acrostic poem), Worksheet 2 (Keywords).
Day 2
Assign: Gerry, Bates, Zobel, Furniss, Franklin & Kirk Biographies & Worksheet 3. You may consider dividing the students into groups and assigning one or two of the biographies to each group; allowing time in class for students to read the biographies and complete this worksheet.
Day 3
Day 4
Class Extensions
Team Teaching Possibilities
Technology: Create graphs from survey data collect in Assessment 3
English: Complete Worksheet 1. Or discuss what a biography is and teach students how to be a biographer. Discuss with the students what kinds of information are needed to have a complete biography: name or names, place and date of birth, family, places lived, hobbies, occupations, significant incidents in his/her life, and what made him/her famous. Use examples from Activity 2 to help in this discussion. Possibly have students use these questions to become a biographer (in groups or individually), by writing a biography on other teachers in the school or on a parent/grandparent at home.
Math: Have students go to or call a local Recycling Center and find information to answer the following questions. How many aluminum cans need to be recycled to power a TV for an hour? How many hours are there in a year? With these two figures determine the number of aluminum cans needed to be recycled in order to power a TV for a year. You could contact the local recycling center or electric company to find out enough facts to create a worksheet with numerous questions based on discovered facts. Determining the number of cans needed to run the lights in the school for day, the number of pieces of paper or pounds of paper needed to be recycled to create a new ream of recycled paper, etc.
Science: Look into research projects currently underway today at the Forest Products Laboratory - Research in Progress.

Photo Gallery: Wildfire shuts down Highway 243 in Banning
Storify: Another day of fire in the Inland Empire
BANNING -- With flames reaching 100 feet high, the second major wildfire in four days near here burned more than 650 acres on Saturday, and fire officials said they had no estimate when it would be contained.
Wind gusts topping 20 mph quickly doubled the size of the Gorgonio Fire from 300 acres to 650 acres in less than an hour in the early afternoon.
"For the most part we've stopped its progress. ... But there's no way to call it contained," said Mike Smith, a Cal Fire battalion chief.
Officials say the wind created spot fires at least a mile ahead of the main fire, which started on the south side of the San Gorgonio Pass, south of the 10 Freeway.
Cal Fire attacked the wildfire with 412 firefighters, 41 fire engines, seven water-dropping air tankers and two helicopters.
Fire Capt. Pete Hine, who led inmate crews battling the blaze on the ground, said they were facing steep, rugged terrain.
"We can handle flame lengths up to 4, 5 feet with the hand crew. That (the higher flames) is why we need the bucket drops," he said. "But the bucket drops don't do any good without the hand crews."
No structures were threatened and no evacuations were ordered, authorities said.
The Gorgonio Fire was in same general area as the deadly Esperanza Fire of 2006 in which five firefighters were killed, but the area has had seven years for brush to grow back, Smith said.
The fire was reported shortly about 11:45 a.m.
By 2 p.m. officials said the fire had grown to 300 acres and doubled to 650 acres an hour later.
Highway 243 was closed at San Gorgonio Avenue and Wesley Street and at Poppet Flats Road. Officials were not sure when the highway might be reopened.
At 6 p.m. Saturday, fire crews working on the Summit Fire, which broke out on Wednesday on the north side of the Pass, said they had achieved 100 percent containment. But that was not before the fire burned 3,166 acres, forced hundreds of evacuations earlier in the week, injured at least two firefighters and destroyed at least one structure, officials said.
Firefighters saw some relief with lower temperatures. Some rain is expected in Southern California today and Monday, according to AccuWeather.com.

Obama Responds to Romney's CAFE Criticism

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Romney says the new standards are "extreme," but Obama disagrees
This week was particularly monumental for the auto industry as the Obama administration
finalized the new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards
. The new rules have faced some criticism, but President Barack Obama isn't backing down.
criticism comes from Obama's presidential election opponent Mitt Romney
, who believes there is a better method of increasing fuel economy than changing CAFE standards.
"Just yesterday, my opponent called my position on fuel efficiency standards extreme," said Obama. "It doesn't seem extreme to me to want to build more fuel efficient cars. Maybe the steam engine is more his speed."
Obama further added that the new CAFE standards will allow U.S. drivers to fill up their gas tanks "half as often." But when the new rules were finalized Tuesday, Romney
failed to see the benefit
to driving citizens.
"Governor Romney opposes the extreme standards that President Obama has imposed, which will limit the choices available to American families," said Andrea Saul, Romney spokeswoman. "The president tells voters that his regulations will save them thousands of dollars at the pump, but always forgets to mention that the savings will be wiped out by having to pay thousands of dollars more upfront for unproven technology that they may not even want."
The new fuel efficiency standards for 2017-2025 will cost the auto industry $157.3 billion and add an average of
$2,000 extra to the sticker price of new autos
While some are clearly unhappy with the new standards,
others are seeing added benefits
. Honda, for example, was delighted to see that the standards provided extra credits for those selling natural gas-powered vehicles. Tesla also jumped on the CAFE bandwagon when it learned that it could sell any credits for surpassing the standards to companies that haven't.
CAFE standards
will raise the average fuel efficiency of cars and light trucks to 54.5 mpg by model year 2025. These new standards, which were created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOTs) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), were based off of the Obama Administration's first standards raised average fuel efficiency to 35.5 mpg by 2016. It was intended for cars and light trucks during model years 2011-2016.
The 54.5 mpg CAFE standard aims to save consumers more than $1.7 trillion at the gas pump, cut U.S. oil consumption by 12 billion barrels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 6 billion metric tons over the course of the program, and encourage the adoption of autos like electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids.

Post subject: Elk River Area
OK so is anyone in the Elk River area? I mean this little town would be considered the metro area right?
We will be moving here soon. As soon as we sell our house in Sioux Falls SD we will be relocating. We are really anxious as we are dying to get our hands on some of the 12,000 caches in the states of MN and WI. While in Sioux Falls we were sorta the leader in planning events and such. There are many things different in placing caches in MN versus SD so as soon as we move and get acquainted with the area, we will be placing caches and if no one else is planning events in this area, we will get together with any locals and plan some events. Don't want to step on any toes though so if someone from the area is already planning events we would love to be able to help. Fall caching rocks and I can't wait!! Good vibes from all you is needed to us to sell this house quick and get on with the moving process! Theres caches out there waiting for us!!

Well let me be the first to welcome you! It sounds like you're highly motivated cachers, and will be a great addition to the caching community here.
I'm not aware of any events happening in the Elk River area, but I'm sure if you plan a few, you'll see a decent attendance (count me in for sure). I'd consider Elk River in the outskirts of the Metro, but if I know the local crowd, they'd drive that far for events, or caching in general. I know the local cachers here will all appreciate your presence in the area.
BTW, I think I've seen your caching name pop up on waymarking.com, I'm guessing you're fairly active with that as well?

I hope you guys like Mexican food. lol
You might want to check out the Mn Central Burrito Buddies 4
As far as events in this area... load them up we don't have enough. I live about 15 miles North East of Elk River.
Once again Welcome, I hope to meet you some day!!!

Had the pleasure of meeting SoDak Searchers3 and SaxPlyr yesterday in Renville MN while caching. Just talked for a short time before heading our seperate ways but they seem like great people and will make a great addition to our caching community. Looking forward to seeing them at events and out caching.

Post subject: Motivated?
I do not know about motivated, addicted that may be the real truth. We enjoy it, for the most part as a family but have met some great people at events. We enjoy fall and winter caching as some of the irritants found during the summer are no longer in play. 2 feet of snow can be a bad thing during the winter months though
Geowife is the Waymarker, she "owns" the following categories: Country Churches, US National Parks, ND IA and NE Historical markers. Way to many things on Waymarking in my opinion. We like the historical nature which is why we do some of those categories, we try to get caches involved in that somehow as well. I do not see the appeal of waymarking McDonalds for example, but if that is what floats your boat, don't let me get in your way. There should be some niche for everyone in Waymarking. Me I prefer Tupperware in the woods.
I also go by KC0RWZ, recently took advantage of the FCC's no code upgrade policy and upgraded to General. Haven't had much time to get into that hobby lately though.
As for the Burrito Buddies if we are here then we will be there then... if that makes any sense LOL. We are more of the Lutefisk (BARF) buddies with our Scandinavian bloodlines but burritos will work, in more ways than one
, Looks like a great opportunity to cache ST Cloud and beyond.
Was a little weird meeting Minnesota Brad all the way in Renville, he was chasing MN counties, I know we have the SW portion of the state covered for counties but that is about it. Another thing too do
Thanks to all for the hellos, looking forward to getting the move done and on with the caching!!

I know there are a number of us m0n0wall users that are using the WAN

Dr. Hahnemann, Leipsic, announced the theory that is the foundation of homeopathic medicine.
Does Hahnemann himself represent Homoeopathy as it now exists?
According to Hahnemann, Koreff, and Randhahn, belladonna is a prophylactic against scarlet fever.
This has been recognized, as Hahnemann himself has shown, from the time of Hippocrates.
This is of course erroneous, but it reminds one of the Helleborine of the ancients, so graphically described by Hahnemann.
But there is not the least appearance of any such delicacy on the part of Hahnemann.
For further information on this head, the Organon of Hahnemann must be consulted.
Hahnemann College admits them but has no woman professor or instructor.
Visiting at the Hahnemann Hospital, I have become much interested in some of the patients.
Hahnemann's theory of psora is no chimera, as many theoreticians would have us believe.
Hahnemann Hah·ne·mann (hä'nə-mən, -män'), (Christian Friedrich) Samuel. 1755-1843.
German physician and founder of homeopathy. He postulated that medicine produces symptoms in healthy people that are similar to those that it relieves in sick people.
