text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Back in the vortex of the Great Recession, when millions of cash-strapped Americans had to choose what bills they could afford to pay, the tendency was to pay credit card tabs before mortgage bills. A March 2011 study by TransUnion noted that for the three straight prior years, consumers did just that, and that this "provided evidence that consumers adjust their payment behavior in response to their economic and personal financial environment," said Sean Reardon, lead author. "We continue to see a significant divergence in the rates of consumers opting to pay their credit cards while going delinquent on their mortgages." That was then and this is now. report from TransUnion points to a "correlation" between higher or lower real estate prices and how the average consumer prioritize their bills. Under this "payment hierarchy," as the economy has improved and home prices have risen, consumers are increasingly more apt to protect their properties than their plastic: up an average by 10% from June 2012 to June 2013. credit card bill as a result. "The results of previous TransUnion research showed that, beginning in 2008, consumers with both a credit card and a mortgage had a higher propensity to go delinquent on their mortgages than on their credit cards -- a reversal of traditional payment patterns," says Steve Chaouki, co-author of the study. "With continued improvements in housing prices, it's probable that by the end of 2013 we will see the majority of consumers paying their mortgages ahead of their credit cards." Interestingly, Americans still are more likely to pay their auto loan bill before either of the other categories, TransUnion says. That was the case in 2008 and it's the case in 2013.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Excellent Service!!!
The resort is fantastic with a number of restaurants to select from. The food is very well labeled for those with allergies. This is a major issue for my wife when travelling and Kurumba made it very clear what she could and couldn't eat. Everything is extremely expensive, which is pretty standard for the Maldives, but Kurumba was on the expensive side.
Kurumba is breathtaking. the facilities are excellent and the construction is beautiful. the wash rooms are superb and the facilities in the room and for the beach are very good, bed linen is clean. handling of guests was very efficient. overall it is amazing. I would love to revisit. Liquor is expensive and snacks were stale.
Overall we enjoyed the facilities of your hotel. We have liked most the location of the hotel especially as its near the airport. The overall service of your staff is excellent, especially Ms.Sabi is very cooperative. None.
It was a very relaxing atmosphere. Seaside and coral reaf around Bandos is very nice. Very good gim, food and nice cocktails. It was a bit long while waiting for a serving of tea or coffee during the breakfast. It would be better to have a coffee & tea station as a part of buffet, so that guests coul´d take drinks by themselfs.
nothing Room cleanliness was very bad..there were ants in bathroom
The location is beautiful The Maldives is beautiful but I have to say that policies and staff could use some adjustments. They would not let us check in early and the hotel was not full at all. We went to the hotel restaurant and they called to tell us the rooms were ready but would not bring the keys to us. Little things that make a hotel great.
The white sandy beach and the spacious and private island resort. We would love to visit again in the future. Being honeymoon couple, they had offered a bottle of wine and a basket of fruit on complementary basis which we did not receive. They were asking for our Marriage certificate and proof that we were married to receive these complementary items. please make sure what all you get and what all you dont before you reach this place.
A very nice resort with comfort and luxury. Excellent beaches and fcilities. Nice rooms and good restaurants.
The room was huge and very nice. The entire resort is on a private island, with a beautiful beach. The food at the restaraunts was very good. The only way to get there is via a boat ride which costs $77 per person round trip.
we were in the haven suite and d villa is just fantastic the staff needs to be trained, english not well spoken and low customer service
It was a totally relaxing experience. The peronnel aimed to please. Even without a golf course there were enough watersports and excursions to do. The snorkeling around the island which could be walked all around in about 20 was awesome. The food was good but we were a la carte and not on the all inclusive. Only breakfast was included with our stay and it offered a complete buffet to please just about everyone. Both the Italian restaurant Il Tramonte and the local and international restaurant The Sunrise at the opposite end of the island offered really good food with excellent service.Both resaurants are on the water with a spectacular view of the sunset and sunrise and the ocean with the fish swimming underneath. The only negative thing I could say and perhaps the hotel had some hindsight....is that they did did place our bungalow next to our friends. We were on opposite ends...mind you it was only a 10 minute walk max.... and slow internet access
It has all what is needed, you do not need to go out of the island.
The view, the room, the beach Poor service for check in and poor number of restaurants and room service.
I lived in Heaven villa. It`s luxery, very beutiful place!!!! Perfect view, new modern villa.Perfect Italian restaurant.

Hello fellow Envato authors!
I'm looking for a Wordpress theme that would suit a how-to site that I'm starting. At first I was reluctant to post here since I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Most of what I find here looks really good but maybe too stylish if you understand what I mean. If not that they are much too business oriented.
I will be posting videos, information in many different categories and also a blog. The blog would not be the main part though.
Most of the how-to sites are so cluttered. Look at this for instance:http://www.howstuffworks.com/
Great information, but just too much at the same time.
At the same time I will be advertising. Not that much to start with but if the site takes off I might push some banners, G-ads and the like.
So, anyone knows exactly what I need?
Would you consider custom service for this? Let me know.
Regards, leilaleilei.toruista @ gmail.com

In his remarks, Polka ran through the key issues facing the independent cable community, from the Comcast-NBC Universal merger to retransmission consent reform, broadband reclassification and alternatives to current FCC set-top box mandates.
"On every issue we are engaged, decisions that run counter to our interests will exact a serious penalty," Polka said. "In such an environment, I will do everything in my power to ensure that the entire ACA team is pulling in the same direction and that we are capitalizing on every opportunity to win the fight before us."
On the Comcast-NBCU transaction, Polka said ACA has called for meaningful conditions to prevent the Comcast-NBCU merger from inflicting serious harm on consumers and competition by unreasonably raising the price of its marquee cable and broadcast channels in an effort to expand its bottom line and drive up the operating costs of direct competitors, including many ACA members.
"I'm confident that ACA is effectively shining a spotlight on the deeply troubling aspects of this transaction. But make no mistake about it, we have our work cut out for us, and we must stay committed until significant conditions are imposed on the merger by the FCC and Department of Justice," Polka said.
On retransmission consent reform, Polka said that after many years of fighting broadcasters all alone, a coalition reflecting business, consumer and public interest viewpoints has taken form and officially asked the FCC to open a rulemaking. In a petition filed in March, the coalition, now known as the American Television Alliance, asked the FCC to launch a rulemaking proceeding to consider rule changes that would prevent abrupt signal-pulling by TV stations and protect consumers from onerous retransmission consent fee increases.
ACA, Polka noted, believes the FCC also has to examine whether TV stations should be allowed to use their market power to charge small cable providers far more than they charge ACA members' direct competitors.
"For real reform to happen, the FCC should prevent broadcasters from charging excessive and discriminatory fees to small cable operators. The agency also needs to restrict the ability of two or more "Big Four" TV stations in the same market from jointly negotiating retransmission consent in a bid to reap outrageously high fees," Polka said.
On broadband reclassification, Polka noted that ACA expected the FCC would engage in closer supervision of broadband access providers, which could have serious consequences for ACA members providing expanded broadband services. In a recent move, the FCC proposed applying some Title II common carrier regulations to cable broadband providers for the first time, in an abrupt departure from the light regulatory approach in place at least since 2002.
"I cannot overstate the business significance to ACA members of the policy change that FCC Chairman Genachowski is attempting to effect. Imposing common carrier obligations on ACA members will significantly increase administrative recordkeeping, reporting and filing burdens and might result in direct economic regulation of broadband access providers," Polka said. "That's why the FCC must conduct a formal rulemaking and quantify the burdens of reclassification on small operators and take steps to lessen or eliminate those burdens."
On Set-Top Box reform, Polka was optimistic and pleased that the FCC has dropped strict reliance on the expensive CableCARD regime in favor of more affordable and consumer-friendly alternatives.
"I'm hopeful that by the end of the year, the FCC will allow all cable operators to deploy inexpensive, integrated HD-capable set-top boxes," Polka said, cautioning that the agency might limit relief to systems with no more than 550 MHz of capacity.
The FCC might replace the CableCARD with something it calls the "AllVid" solution, Polka said, adding that his trade group has not taken a stand on the viability of "AllVid" as a cost-effective innovation.
"I'm concerned that the 'AllVid' approach could come with large per-headend or per-customer costs that would be very difficult to recover from a small customer base," Polka said. "I hope the FCC does not repeat mistakes of the CableCARD era and hit ACA members with rules that divert valuable capital resources away from the deployment of advanced services, including broadband, in rural and smaller markets."

This is the only indoor grill specially designed to cook a rack of ribs and infuse the meat with flavor-enhancing marinades. The dual concave cooking plates (one under the lid and another on the base) contour to the curved shape of a rack of ribs, ensuring simultaneous searing of both sides of the slab. A built-in reservoir holds, wine, stock, or a marinade, and the grill bastes the ribs with the liquid while the meat cooks. The 104" sq. cooking surface accommodates a full slab of ribs and the 1,400-watt grill heats to 446� F to produce flavor-enhancing caramelization that's the hallmark of fine barbecue or cooks as low as 176 �F for gentle roasting.

I am a newbie, and yes, I have browsed google for awhile. None of the tutorials are truly and extremely noob friendly. I burnt the Backtrack 4 pre-final iso to a bootable disk and booted it up. I was brought to grub and tried to boot, triedbut it was not found. In BT4, how do a load the kernel. A simple answer or a link to a noob-proof tutorial would be helpful.Code:kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hdal/
Also, I would like to install Backtrack to a linux-based MID, how would I create a bootable SD card?
Thanks for any help in advance.


description: After a punishing rugby practice, Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips find out if an ice-cold bath will help their aching bodies.

is_us_only: false

title: I Didn't Know That: Ice Bath for Healing

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
Ice might be good for keeping food fresh, generally speaking, ice and the human body don't mix.  Which is perhaps not surprising when you consider over 65% of the human body is made out of water.
JONNY PHILLIPS: So in general, if you want to live a long life and keep all your fingers and toes try not to get too cold, just ask anybody who has ever had frostbite.
RICHARD AMBROSE: However, under controlled conditions there are certain situations where ice can prove very beneficial.
JONNY PHILLIPS: In fact, doctors have been prescribing it for years to help reduce swelling and help speed up the healing process for traumatised body parts.
RICHARD AMBROSE: And now there's a growing belief amongst sports professionals that  ice can speed up the recovery of the entire body.
JONNY PHILLIPS: And so after a punishing training session many of them are now taking ice baths. Does it really work? Let's find out.
In this stainless steel bath the water at its coldest will be just  5 degrees Celsius, and to make sure your body doesn't warm it up, cold refrigerated air is blasted through - just for a little extra bite!
JONNY PHILLIPS: Ahh ahh.
This might appear to be some kind of medieval masochism, but there is method behind the madness.  The idea is the iced water cools your body and this restricts the blood flow to your traumatised limbs.
RICHARD AMBROSE: I'm recovering quick.
JONNY PHILLIPS: I can no longer feel my arms.
NARRATOR: Once you get out and warm up, fresh blood floods into these areas providing oxygen to the inflamed muscles, leaving you refreshed and ready for the next gruelling session.
JONNY PHILLIPS: That was incredible.  I feel really light.  I mean it's indescribable actually, er so I won't try and describe it.
RICHARD AMBROSE: I feel great.  I feel great.  I just feel great.


text: No matter how much tabloids want it to be so, Jennifer Aniston just refuses to cooperate and get pregnant. I will admit that it has been a few months since there has been a nice Jennifer Aniston is pregnant story. The tabloids have been so caught up in her engagement and wedding plans and debut of her ring and the infrequent sightings of Jennifer and Justin together that they have not really brought out the pregnancy stories. This week Star did bring one out and it has been denied by Jennifer's people. Considering the heavy use of surrogates in Hollywood and the fact that Brad Pitt wanted a lot of babies and Jen didn't, do we think Jen even wants kids? I know she has said in the past she does want kids, but, you would think she has had lots of opportunity and has not done so. Maybe she really doesn't, but just has not figured out how to broach that subject with her fans yet. Maybe she is waiting until she gets married.

find the occurrences of a given char in a string( categories: string )
To find out if a given char is in a string, you can use the 'index()' function.
'index()' takes as string, a substring and an offset (this last one is optional) as parameters and returns the position (starting in zero) where the substring is within the first string; if not found it returns -1. By default, 'index()' returns the first ocurrence found, if you want to find the occurrence 'n', you must use the 'offset' paramater.
length: return the number of characters of a string( categories: string | functions )
Use the length function to get the number of characters of a string. Special characters, such as new line (\n) and carriage return (\r) are also included in the length calculation.
Please notice that this function works on scalar variables, you can't use it to get the number of elements of an array or a hash.
$line = "perl test line\n";
print "\$line has " . length($line) . " lines\n";

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- As the federal government pushes schools to include more disabled students in athletics, Minnesota offers a map for how to do it.
Forty years ago, a group of Minnesota teens started a sports league for high school students with disabilities. They adapted floor hockey rules to allow for the use of wheelchairs and walkers and then expanded into soccer and softball.
Today, the league is a thriving statewide organization that offers four sports, awards letters and runs championships.
The Education Department last week declared that schools should make "reasonable modifications" for disabled students who want to play on traditional sports teams or in their own leagues. It's not clear exactly how the order will be implemented.
Participation in the Minnesota Adapted Athletics Association has more than doubled since 1994.

Project DescriptionCustom Homes
Design Studio
A Wyoming Vacation Home Mirrors The Stark Beauty Of Its Setting.
A scenic, unspoiled site might seem an unequivocal asset in designing a vacation home. But Wyoming's Wapiti Valley, the mountain-rimmed 50-mile run of the North Fork Shoshone River east of Yellowstone National Park, could intimidate even the most self-assured architect. The grandeur and openness of the landscape tends to make buildings look like toys, and the region's harsh weather can make them feel equally insubstantial. Both aesthetically and literally, says architect Brett Nave, "you're on your own out there." But Nave, with then-partner Lori Ryker, rose to the challenge, producing an idiosyncratic,impressionistic house that becomes part of this magnificent setting without disappearing into it.
Nave's Los Angeles–based clients presented an unusually open-ended program, specifying mainly that the house face away from the highway that borders their 120-acre property and toward the hills where they hike and ride horses. "It's wild for miles and miles and miles to the north," Nave says. "It's elk and bears and wolves; that's it." Given the house's exposure, Nave adopted something of a split-screen view, "designing the way it looks from a distance, but how it feels from standing right there." The floor plan stretches along an east-west axis, bookending a central great room with a master suite to the west and a secondary bedroom suite to the east. A freestanding private gym extends the axis toward the east; a guest suite stands off to the south. The layout is intentionally simple, Nave explains. "There's this constant flow from one end to the other."
Working upward from the plan, the house builds layers of complexity in materials, geometry, light, and views. A 2-foot-thick rammed earth wall anchors the great room, screening views to the south, while a high glass wall opens toward the north. A canted butterfly roof—rising from south to north—floats above a high clerestory, reinforcing the orientation toward the mountains. The main house's two bedroom wings, as well as the gym and guest house, shelter under separate and distinctly different roof forms. Favoring large expanses of glass over punched openings, Nave located the house's few conventional windows to offer poetic, fragmentary views. "Anywhere you are in the house you have another vignette," he says, "but nothing's framed, so it's more like being in the landscape than like taking pictures of the landscape."
"I almost always try to design space first, from the inside out, and I don't worry as much about [exterior] form," the architect explains. But the house's long, eccentrically rhythmic profile was no accident. A rambling composition suggestive of old Western mining camps, the building also echoes the jagged ridgeline of China Wall, the outcrop whose dragon-tail silhouette towers over the site. A variety of wall surfaces—rammed earth, standing seam metal, wood-veneer panels, plate steel, spaced hardwood boards, and expanded-metal screening—represent "an attempt to build different shadows at different times of day," Nave says. "From a distance, it looks like rocks and shadows and protrusions from the ground. That's what we were trying to do."
Succeed as it might as landscape sculpture, however, a house is still a house, and this one also successfully provides secure shelter in an inspiring but unforgiving environment. "We clocked [the wind at] 108 miles per hour at one point on this site," Nave says. "It's super windy, very harsh, with lots of sunshine. The snow doesn't stick around very long; it blows away." Radiant heating in the concrete floors keeps the interior comfortable under normal conditions, but Nave specified a forced-air backup system to shorten recovery time when the interior temperature is allowed to drop.
On mild days, though, with its wall of folding glass doors drawn open, the great room takes on the character of a luxurious lean-to. Simple decks, with no railings to filter the view, project into the native grass and sagebrush meadow. And if the owners aren't riding in the hills, one imagines them unwinding outdoors, recalling their last foray and planning the next, inhabiting a space that extends far beyond the walls of their house.

Be patient. Work the count. Let the play unfold. Take what the other team gives you.
All viable softball philosophies. All terms that aren't in Herriman's vocabulary.
The Mustangs instead are in attack mode from the second they take the field. They attack the first strike in an at-bat, force teams to throw them out running the bases and have an overall aggressive approach that has played to promising results.
Entering the week, Herriman (7-3) has scored 10 runs or more in each of its past four games all victories. It has scored runs in bunches, dropping 4- and 5-spots on Granger and Lone Peak.
Seems no one can tame these wild Mustangs.
"We are real aggressive in base running and we don't let first-pitch strikes go by like we used to," sophomore third baseman Brittney Wood said. "We don't go up looking, and that's cut down on strikeouts. We only struck out once against Olympus."
Herriman opened Region 7 play with back-to-back routs of Olympus and Westlake. The Mustangs banged out 16 hits in the region opener and got a grand slam and six RBIs from freshman second baseman Bryce Taylor in the most recent outing.
"We have just found ourselves, really," Herriman coach Staci Hemingway said. "The past two weeks shows who we are as a team. The girls have definitely developed more confidence, and once they get a hit, it boosts morale for every one of them. Hitting is contagious."
Herriman waded through some early season struggles at the plate, which resulted in a shutout loss to Alta in the season opener and back-to-back losses at the Sunroc Invitational in St. George.
But as the weather has warmed up, so have the Mustang bats. Wood has the first two home runs of her career and four total extra-base hits. Staff ace Riley Cox said having such a potent offense makes pitching a whole lot easier.
"It takes so much pressure off of me," said Cox, a junior. "I can trust my team that if I make a mistake, I know they are there to back me up."
Herriman, which finished second to Murray in last year's region race, again figures to push the Spartans for the title. Hemingway has scheduled late-season non-region games against Highland (Idaho), Taylorsville and Copper Hills to help prepare her team for the postseason.

Bosch GTL3 Specs
Range (according to maker): 65 feet
Accuracy of beams: +/- 1/16 inch per 20 feet
Accuracy between beams: +/- 1/8 inch per 20 feet
Size: 6 1/8 x 4 x 3 7/8 inches
Weight: 1.1 pounds
Powered by: 4 AA batteries
Includes: laser, target, pouch, and positioning plate
Street price: $175
Bosch Tools
Nearly all my remodeling jobs involve some kind of tile, so I'm constantly doing tile layout. Before I had a layout laser, I used a large folding square to create 90-degree layouts, or I drew a 3-4-5 triangle on the floor. With a laser I can skip that cumbersome step and set tile to the laser's beams. It's far more convenient than working to snapped lines, which can be obscured by the application of thinset.
Last fall I tested Bosch's new GTL3. Because it's taller than other tile lasers, its beams are better at clearing obstructions. Also, while most tile lasers have a pair of lines set 90 degrees apart, the GTL3 has three lines, so it can project both 90-degree and 45-degree angles. The third beam comes in handy when you're installing a diagonal field within rectangular borders.
Bosch's laser is controlled by a single button and can be set to project square-only or square and diagonal lines. To conserve the batteries it automatically shuts down after 30 minutes. It's sold in a soft case small enough to fit under the seat of a truck.
The GTL3 has a small footprint, so it works well in tight quarters. According to Bosch, the laser has a working range of 65 feet. In practice, though, its range is less, because the beams — which are crisp and bright near the tool — widen and fade with distance.
In brightly lit areas the beam will be visible on the floor 6 or 8 feet out; in dim lighting it may be visible to 10 or 15 feet. Beyond that distance the beam cannot be seen on horizontal surfaces — though it can be seen on vertical ones, such as on the included laser target or on the face of a tape or trowel. Viewing the beam on a vertical surface is fine for marking or measuring layout, but it's not as useful as being able to see the beam go all the way across the floor.
The simulated beams in these photos from the manufacturer (top) show how the laser projects layout onto floors and walls. The actual beams are far less bright, as can be seen in the photo above, which was taken without the use of a flash.
I have successfully used this laser to measure out to about 20 feet in a dimly lit room by holding a folding rule on edge so that the beam hit it. At that distance the beam is approximately 1/8 inch wide, which is twice as wide as it is directly in front of the tool. At 50 feet out, the beam is about 7/16 inch wide. Personally, I would not choose to use this laser for distances beyond 25 feet.
Leveling Plate
Magnets in the base of the laser allow it to be attached to a metal leveling plate sold with the tool. The plate stabilizes the laser and raises it above the thinset, keeping it clean. By screwing the plate to the wall and attaching the laser, you can project layout for wall tile — a feature I deemed less impressive once I realized the device cannot self-level. Projecting layout onto a vertical surface means aligning the beam with a level line created with some other tool.
The Bottom Line
The Bosch tile laser is great for what it is: a small, relatively inexpensive tool for doing square and diagonal layout. I wouldn't use it on a large commercial project, but it's extremely useful in the bathrooms and small kitchens that make up the bulk of my work.

CALGARY -- Coca-Cola is equipping its vending machines throughout Canada to work with a new tap-and-go contactless debit cards. The beverage giant said it will deploy the payment option on 4,000 Coca-Cola vending machines across Canada by the end of July.
Interac Flash, a secure contactless enhancement of the Interac debit card, allows Canadians to pay for items using funds from their bank accounts with a wave of their Interac chip debit cards at readers that support the technology.
Interac Flash uses EMV technology and the existing chip debit infrastructure, which protects it from fraud tactics such as copying and "electronic pick-pocketing."
"This first-of-its-kind initiative offers consumers the flexibility to pay the way they want for the beverages they love," said John Guarino, president of Coca-Cola Refreshments Canada.

A FORMER staff nurse at Pendleside Hospice has been given an 18 month suspension following a Nursing and Midwifery Council hearing.
The panel was told that Lynn Richmond had made 'a series of drug errors' while working at the hospice, and had taken three 'extended periods of absence' due to chronic illness and other health conditions.
Bosses at the hospice said Mrs Richmond no longer worked there and stressed patient safety was 'not compromised at any time'.
Brian Hartup, chief executive at Pendleside Hospice, said: "Pendleside has no comment about the NMC's investigation of Mrs Richmond but we confirm that she no longer works at the hospice and that the safety of our patients was not compromised at any time during her employment with us.
"We are absolutely committed to achieving the highest possible standard of patient care and would like to take this opportunity to reassure those we serve, and our supporters in the communities of Burnley and Pendle, that the best interests of our patients and their families are our absolute priority at all times."
Mrs Richmond had been a staff nurse on the inpatient unit at the hospice, in Colne Road.
Following the absence from work it was said that Mrs Richmond failed to attend work following her first shift after returning in November 2012.
Instead she sent a text message to her employer stating that she was unable to return to work and thought she would have to resign.
The hospice attempted to make contact with her, but having been unable to do so, treated the text message as her resignation.
In a report Gillian Fleming, chair of the NMC panel, said: "The panel noted that Mrs Richmond appeared to have been given considerable support from her former employer; however the allegations in this case are serious and relate to not just her health but to basic nursing competencies.
"The panel was particularly concerned about the allegations that in May 2012, a series of drug errors occurred within a short period of time, and that these allegedly included controlled drugs.
"Other allegations include poor organisation of her work and record keeping."

Report: Selena Gomez welcomes new sibling
Listen to Selena Gomez on iHeartRadio
Selena Gomez is a big sister - according to her good friend Demi Lovato, who broke the news through Twitter Thursday. Demi took to the site with the information, asking followers to "congratulate her and her family" with a special hashtag.
It was just last month that Selena herself shared with fans that her mother, Mandy Teefey, was expecting. Selena's parents were divorced when she was five, and Mandy got remarried to her current husband in 2006. The occasion is particularly special as the couple was previously expecting back in 2011 but miscarried a month after going public with the news.

How much meat should you get back from the butcher???
I took in a really nice big ol' doe. I was leaving town the next morning so I took it to my "Ex" butcher. I figured her for weighing around 105-110. Even at 100 lbs. I was thinkning at least getting backaround 33 lbs. I go to pick the meat up last night. The box felt a little light but, I was in a hurry so I left and took it home. Threw it on the scale and it was only 21.4 lbs. I've always heard you get about 1/3 of field dressed weight back. So what gives? Am I wrong. I called and made sure they didn't have another box they over looked or maybe spelled my name wrong. They swear up and down that I was the only one w/ my last name that took a deer up there. If I'm not wrong about the weight I should have been getting back then they've lost a lot of my business. I buy most of my meat there and was getting ready to order 15 lbs. of beef tenderloin from them for x-mas. Let me know what ya'll think!

The 1/3 sounds about right but there is a lot of variables such as how much the deer has eaten recently, water intake and if the deer was pregnant. There is the chance that you got somebody elses deer. that happens alot around my place so i strated doing my own deer plus it saves money. 12 pounds is a rather large fluxuation but you never really know. was the hundred pounds or so field dressed? If not that could really have alot to do with it. I have seen a deer drop 20 pounds after field dressing.(the stomach was really full and she was pregnant)
You're not wrong
You should have gotten more than that. The deer processors are the biggest cons around. Year before last I took a doe that dressed 80 pounds and three days later a buck that dressed 162 pounds. The butcher gave me back the same amount of meat for both deer! When I went back in to get the rest of my meat from my buck, he told me that was all there was. When I told him that was the same I'd gotten back from the doe that was half the size of the buck he got mad and told me if I didn't like it then go somewhere else. I did. I went to Cabelas and bought the 3/4 hp grinder and the tenderizer attachment. I went in halves with my uncle and we paid for it the first year. The meat tasted better and we got a lot more of OUR deer back too. I just cant see paying for someone elses deer that have been gut shot or hauled around in the sun for a few days. I'll never have to worry about it again.
well, seeing how various processors have either screwed people over or just put out some nasty meat with either hair in it or just inedible..
we just got a lesson in processing our own from a very good friend that's been doing it a while.. it didn't take long at all.. We quartered it and put it in an ice chest for one week. adding ice to keep it covered and draining the water off. This aged it. Then we cut and packaged it.
The things you need are: a vacuum sealer ($99 at WM), and a good meat grinder. The one they used was an attachment on a Kitchen-aid stand mixer and it worked fabulous.. a sharp knife, an electric knife and a good sized cutting board is all you need.
The meat tastes fabulous, no gamey taste, just tender and delicious!New Breed Archery
Gold Tip - Spot-Hogg
Take a look at thisThat course was so easy I even missed a target !!
If cut and trimmed properly you should get just about half of its field dressed weight back. With in a couple of LBs. I always get my early season deer processed due to the temps being warm. To maximize what you get off a deer you have trim alot and that trimmed meat is usually only good for sausage or grind meat, but hey its still great meat. If I didn't get atleast 1/3 back i would never go back. I pay a pretty penny for my processed deer but, processed return weight is always more than 50% of the deers weight.( You have to take into account of the fat weight added to the sausage)
So I would find a different butcher. I went through several before I found one I liked. Plus the one I use has one of the best sausage and balonga makers in our area.(He has been for 30 years)Of all the things I lost I miss my mind the Most!?!?!?
This is hard to know !
Depends how picky one is ,if I take a arrowed deer to the locker ,I get only ground deer back no adding anything to it so my largest on an Iowa X-large doe (180+ lbs live weigh guess ) was 68 lbs .I usually think more like 40+ lbs on a full grow doe is more inline.The lockers around here seem to do a good job ( BETTER THAN MYSELF ) . There's alot of fat on the full grown does and this fat is not good for jerky
,so I tank it when I cut up deer myself ,seems to work if I can grind it alright ,but I own a small low cost grinder ,maybe a large one it would work better but too much deer fat is not good for jerky as it causes it to taste rank !
If I get screwed by a locker ,and yes that's happened to me ,I take my deer elsewhere next time .
Also ..... where did you hit the deer....you can ruin alot of meat if you hit her in the front shoulder or back straps.
When I butcher I cut ALOT of the tallow and fat off before I grind my meat so your weights are a little low but not that bad if the meat was well cleaned before it was ground.
Am I missing something ?
I always wonder if ouir buddy Gator is just not the " Robin Hood " the rest of us are ?
Hi Gator , old pal !

1st pick of the 2022 baseball amateur draft
not much for me.
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairytales
Tigers in 5...too much pitching...way to much
1st pick of the 2022 baseball amateur draft
I'm greedy, I want 7 more games.
"Reality tells us there are no guarantees. Except that some day Jon Lester will be on that list of 100-game winners." - Peter Gammons
That should be the Reds. See ya Cardinals!
Justice is served. The Cardinals had no business in the playoffs, had no business beating Washington, and their pitching didn't warrant being there. Carpenter clearly was nor up to snuff ( and at his age he never will be) and that is so satisfying. Heck with the wild card. It should never be part of the equation in baseball. And interleague play should stop now. I have no interest in the World Series.
That's sad.

Box Score (PDF)
NEW YORK -How do you describe the University of Pennsylvania's men's basketball game with Columbia Saturday night at the Lions' Levien Gym? One word: indescribable.
We'll try, though.
Columbia -- which led 35-25 at halftime -- took 20 shots in the second half, and made just two of them. In the final 15:18 of the game, the Lions did not score a field goal.
Columbia won the game by 17, 58-41.
While Penn was locking down on defense at one end, Columbia was doing likewise at the other end. The result was that the Quakers only doubled the Lions' second-half field goal total, with four. And while Columbia was going 19-of-22 from the foul line in the final period, Penn was going just 7-of-11.
The result was one of the most bizarre games you'll ever see.
Tony Hicks was the only Penn player to score in double figures, as he had a game-high 19 points. However, he fouled out of the game and was thrown out of the gym with two technicals -- which seemed pedestrian on this night. Miles Cartwright scored nine points, while Darien Nelson-Henry had six points and nine rebounds.
For Columbia, Grant Mullins scored 18 points while Brian Barbour had 12 and Maodo Lo notched 11.
Columbia used a 10-point run midway through the first half to turn a 12-10 lead into a double-digit advantage, at 22-10. Penn got no closer than eight points the rest of the way, but in a game that was especially choppy in the second half you never felt like the Quakers were out of it.
Penn needed nearly five minutes to score in the second half, but Columbia had only scored six points during that time -- including, as it turned out, the Lions' final field goal of the game, a Mullins jumper.
Penn had what amounted to its best grab at momentum withjust under fourminutes to play; at that point, the Quakers had cut a 16-point deficit to nine -- Columbia getting one of the points back on a John Daniels free throw --and Dau Jok had only recently hit what turned out to be the team's only three-pointer of the game. There was certainly the feeling that, if ever Penn was going to make a run, this was the time.
Hicks, the hot hand,got past his defender and drove the lane; Columbia center Mark Cisco stepped in front of him. Whistle. Charge (Hicks' fourth foul). Was Cisco in the circle? Should it have been a block? The film will tell. It was certainly debatable in live action.
What happened next was not debatable. Inbounding the ball on the baseline, the Columbia inbounder ran the baseline to pass the ball in. That's illegal. It was not called. The Penn bench went crazy. Head coach Jerome Allen got a technical. Hicks walked past the official who called the T and said something; he was T'd up, as well, his second of the game which ejected him.
Instead of being down 10, getting the ball with the chance to be downeight or even seven, Penn watched Barbour go to the other end to shoot four free throws. He made three. The Lions then got the ball, and Mullins was fouled by Henry Brooks. He made both. That made the score 54-39, and the wind was out of Penn's sails. This one was over.
Penn is back at home next weekend, hosting Dartmouth Friday night at 7 p.m. and Harvard Saturday night at 6. Saturday's game against the Crimson will be televised live to a nationwide audience on the NBC Sports Network as part of the Ivy League's season package.

Johnson's Baby Bubble Bath & Wash
Posted by EB Product Panel , 16 May 2011 · 7913 views
Our members tried Johnson's new 'no more tears' Baby Bubble Bath & Wash. Here's what they had to say.
Lots of bubbles meant lots of fun for the kids. Gentle enough that accidental splashes in eyes caused no problems. Liked the smell and seemed to do the job of cleaning grubby bubs.
Nice large size bottle. Easy to use. Smelt great and created lots of bubbles. Definately will buy this product.
Was worried that perhaps it might be drying on bub but wasn't a problem. It has a nice smell that isn't too strong.
Fun for bath-time and gives a nice gentle clean.
Would recommend to others.
My little one loves the bubbles! Sometimes it is hard to get them out of the bath.
Pleasant smell and gentle on the eyes.
Definitely recommend - makes bath time fun.
After our first test run this morning DD smells delicious and her skin feels soft and clean. She had a wonderful time with the bubbles and when some got in her eyes there were no problems.
On a practical note the instructions say use 2-3 capfuls under running water, only the bottle does not come with a cap. This is the only fault that I can find with the product, I'll definitely be buying it myself and recommending it to others.
This had a lovely smell, and created lots of bubbles.
I liked the look of the label, and would definatley notice it on a shop shelf. I would buy this product.
It was hard to gauge how much you would need, as the instructions say 2-3 capfuls but the lid is not really a cap easy for measuring.
I loved this Johnson's Bubble Bath - it smelt really nice and left my kids nice and soft and smelling great. My kids love bubbles so I used more than the recommended 2-3 capfuls
I loved the look of the bottle, it was quite eye catching.
I mostly liked that that it was both a bubble and bathing product rather than just bubbles - kept the kids happy and got them clean! I'd definitely recommend to others.
Johnson's Baby Bath has a pleasant, but not over-whelming fragrance. The bottle is an attractive shade of blue and is clearly recognisable as a Johnson's product.
The instructions say to pour 2-3 capfuls under running water, but the it has a flip up type lid. I prefer this type of lid as I hate juggling slippery wet screw on caps - one handed operation is usually best for kids bath products. I guessed the amount of product to use, and probably used less than what was recommended, but there were heaps of bubbles.
There were no age recommendations on the bottle, although I recall that my youngest was too young when I offered to do the review - was it over six months? So I would like to see some kind of age recommendation on the bottle, such as recommended for babies six months and over, or suitable from birth, something like that.
The final result was clean, happy kids. You can't ask for much more than that. I wouldn't go out of my way, shouting from the rooftops to tell my friends to go and buy this product, but Johnson's is a fairly well-known, reputable brand so I am sure people will buy it without much encouragement from me
From the onset, the bright blue bottle and bubble imaging had me excited that I had finally had a children's bath product that would make lots of bubbles and last the duration of their bath and boy did it deliver!
Although the instructions say 2-3 capfuls, the product actually has a flip lid and I had to guess the amount. Immediately though, the bath was full of lots of bubbles and smelt very pleasant. The bubbles lasted the whole duration of the bath (15-20min) and kept both my toddlers very amused. I also washed their hair with it and had absolutely no problems with their eyes.
Upon taking the children out, they both smelt fresh and their skin was incredibly soft to touch. I was very happy with the results. My only negative is that the bubbles performed so well that I had to rinse the bath and toys afterwards to get all the bubbles off. A small price to pay though. I will definitely keep buying it and would recommend it to others.
The bubbles were fantastic, although due to the flip lid, I may have used to much. Skin felt fantastic afterwards and the scent was refreshingly clean and not sickly sweet like some bubble bath can be. The large bottle is great value for money and I will definately buy again and recommend it to other mothers. Johnson's is such a quality product.
Johnsons Bubble bath is great, although i did use more than the recommended 2-3 capfuls. Smell is light and clean. Was gentle enough to use on my newborn while my toddler loved covering her face with bubbles without any irritation to her eyes.
I was concered the bubbles would dry out our skin but after three nights use I havent found this to be a problem.
I would highly recommend this product to make bath time fun!!
My initial impression was that it's clearly a Johnson's product. It left my daughter's skin feeling clean and soft without any overpowering scent. I would buy and recommend this product.
I loved the scent, you could tell it was a Johnson's product just by that alone!
The 2-3 capfuls instuction was a little strange due to it being a flip top lid (which i love).
My youngest loved the bubbles and had a very long playful bath. Unfortunately my eldest (5 years) had some sort of reaction and instantly got itchy all over. She had to jump out and rinse it off in the shower
Based on that I don't think I would buy this product again as I try to buy things that both my kids can use.
Smells great, calming, & refreshing. Lots of bubble which stays quite long (compare to other bubble bath product). At the end of testing the product, not only my baby enjoyed trying Johnson`s bubble bath but my husband too (ok i confess ...and me).
Loved the product!
The smell was fantastic, leaving my son smelling clean and fresh, also made the bathroom smell good too! The bubbles last for well over half an hour, and the flip lid was ideal for using with one hand. I did use more than the recommended (4-5 capfuls) to get a good amount of bubbles. The bubble-bath product was also good to use everyday, even on my son's sensitive skin, as other products can be too drying.
Definitely recommend to others.
As a GP who sees children only, the most common cause of vaginal irritation/discharge that I see in children is bubble bath. I dont know what the new Johnson's bubble bath contains to know how likely it is to cause vaginal irritation, but bubbles tend to 'drift' into the vagina and irritate the delicate lining tissue.
I note that one child in the comments developed skin irritation.
If the bubble bath is used regularly and any little girls develop vaginal irritation it is worth thinking about whether bubble bath might be the cause.
I agree to totally to all that is said here!! I used this Johnson�€™s Baby Bubble Bath & Wash and it was all and more than what they claim it to it. I wasn�€™t at all surprised at it being so since we�€™ve been using Johnson�€™s products for the past couple of generations and have yet to find any problems with it!! I used this for my little granddaughter and she just refused to stop coming out ,She was in the bath so long that we had to turn on all the bath fans !!
My initial impression was that it's clearly a Johnson's product. It left my daughter's skin feeling clean and soft without any overpowering scent. I would buy and recommend this product.
Azithromycin uses
It smelt great but I didn't feel it made as many bubbles as I was hoping for - I had to use lots each bath so it didn't last as long as I though it should.
The kids smelt clean afterwards though and I would probably buy it again.
it is a good smell and mamy bubbles my child so funny

Mike S's 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica
Don't call this a "fake snake" it's a modern roadster based on a classic American design
Dominic J. DeVito has been a member of the Crutchfield A/V writing squad since 2006. He was born and raised in Staunton, Virginia, and attended the University of Notre Dame, where he earned a degree in chemical engineering. During that time he developed a passionate obsession for experiencing music, both live and recorded, which he parlayed into a 15-year stint in record retail (much to the chagrin of his very patient parents) and a long-running tenure as a rock DJ at WTJU. His expositions can be found in back issues of Plan 9's 9X Magazine as well as Schools That Rock: The Rolling Stone College Guide. He's been to more concerts than he can remember.
More from Dominic DeVito
Mike S. of Cape Coral, FL, owns a sweet kit car from Backdraft Racing—their BDR RT3 Roadster features a fiberglass body patterned after the iconic 1965 Ford Shelby Cobra. Unfortunately, the car doesn't come with an audio system of any kind, and MIke really "wanted to have some sounds." That's where Crutchfield comes in—Mike picked up some great speakers from Polk Audio and used some ingenuity to place them where he could get the most out of his music in this hard-to-fit vehicle.
Mike's 1965 Shelby Cobra Roadster replica by Backdraft Racing.
Items installed:
- Polk Audio DXi 12" dual voice coil subwoofer
- Polk Audio DXi6500 6-1/2" component speaker system
- Polk Audio PA 330 2-channel amplifier
- Polk Audio PA 880 mono amplifier
He did what to his car?
The first step of Mike's installation was to add the 6-1/2" component speakers. He picked Polk Audio speakers because he values their quality and the fact that they're marine rated, which is handy for top-down driving. Mike hid the speakers behind the roadster's seats. In order to do that, he had to cut some holes in the Backdraft's fiberglass frame. Yes, you read that right. Mike tells us that was the most difficult part of the installation process for him. He hooked up the DXi6500s to the Polk Audio PA 330 2-channel amp and took the roadster out for a spin.
He opted not to add a head unit to his vehicle, and instead uses his smartphone and iPod® as portable music sources he can tap directly into the amps with their line-level inputs. "Anyone who gets into the car may hook up their phone so they have their own music," he tells us.
"Not enough sound"
Mike wasn't totally satisfied with the sound that just the two component speakers provided, so he went a step further and picked up the 12" DXi dual voice coil subwoofer and the PA 880 mono amplifier. He added another hole in the Backdraft's body, between the two seats, and mounted the sub free-air style to round out the bottom end. Here's what the system looks like from inside the trunk:
Two Polk Audio amps, a sub, and component speakers.
"Perfect! The car rocks now"
Mike's really happy with how the his car sounds now that there's some bass right where he can feel it. Add in the deep tones from the roadster's side exhaust pipes and he's in seventh heaven. He doesn't plan on making any further upgrades to his stereo, but we suspect that he has plenty of audio excitement for now. Check out his car from the front, with the sub in plain view:
And here's Mike showing off in another roadster, with the Shelby Cobra replica close by:

Untapable Wins Oaks 140
LOUISVILLE, Ky-- With track announcer Larry Collmus saying she was "un-stoppable, un-catchable," Untapable surged past My Miss Sophia late in the home stretch, winning the 140th edition of the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs late Friday afternoon.
Untapable was ridden by 26-year Rosie Napravnik, the 1st and still only woman jockey to win the Oaks. The New Jersey native first won the all-fillies race 2 years ago, aboard Believe You Can.
Untapable had been an overwhelming favorite in the $1 million race for 3-year-olds. it was the filly's 3rd straight win, the 5th in her 7 lifetime starts. Those last 3 wins have chalked up total victory margins of nearly lengths over the 2nd-place horses.
Untapable was near the early leaders before making her move at the final turn. Her winning time, 1:48.68, was the 2nd-fastest mile-and-an-8th Oaks pace ever.
Untapable's payouts to bettors were $4 to win, $3.20 to place, $2.60 to show. From 2nd, My Miss Sophia returned $4.20 and $4.40, and Unbridled Forever paid $6.00.
The race was nearly marred by an equine injury. It started several minutes late, after all the horses had to be taken out of the starting gate and reloaded in. Empress of Midway, partly owned by Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino, was unhurt after flipping upside down in the gate. She was scratched, however, not competing when things finally got underway.
For Saturday's Derby, the scratch of 2nd-favorite Hoppertunity and the fact also-eligible Pablo Del Monte was not installed in the field by his owners and trainer, moves the 1st 10 horses in the race 1 starting spot to the right. That could make it easier for Napravnik to make history, as the 1st woman to ever ride a Derby winner. She'll be starting from the #2 spot, aboard Vicar's In Trouble. No #1 horse has won the Derby since 1986, or finished in the money since 1988, since it's so difficult to get to a good position from a start on the rail. The move right will give the entire field a little more breathing room.
Official Oaks attendance is listed at 113,701, the 3rd-biggest crowd ever, on the day that's essentially a holiday around Louisville.

Crystallization of Cellobiohydrolase in the Presence of Cellulose-Degraded Cellobiose: Analysis of Intermolecular Interactions and Association Dynamics

Journal of Crystallization Process and Technology,
Vol.4 No.1,
Crystallization of enzymes in presence of impurities is important for
clarifying the role of enzymes in natural world. Although it is proposed that
impurities inhibit nucleation of enzyme crystallization, details are unclear.
In this study, crystallization of cellobiohydrolase from Aspergillus niger was
investigated by dynamic and time-resolved static
light scattering using cellobiose as an impurity. We aimed to clarify how
cellobiose inhibits cellobiohydrolase crystallization and to
crystallize cellobiohydrolase in concentrated cellobiose without using seeds.
The contribution of attractive forces to total intermolecular interactions of
cellobiohydrolase monomers increased with the molar ratio of
cellobiose/cellobiohydrolase (R(cb/ce)).
Association dynamics of cellobiohydrolase using lithium sulfate, however,
showed that the initial aggregation rate decreased with an increase in R(cb/ce). Because binding sites of
cellobioses to cellobiohydrolase molecules differed from those for the growth
of protein crystals, the binding of cellobioses would increase the chemical
potential of the cellobiohydrolase monomers, which gradually reduced supersaturation for growth as the aggregate size increased.
This result was in contrast with the conventional idea that cellobiose inhibits
the nucleation of cellobiohydrolase crystals. Gentle agitation of cellobiose-containing cellobiohydrolase solutions during sitting-drop
vapor-diffusion growth resulted in the growth of cellobiohydrolase single
crystals for all R(cb/ce)
conditions without using seeds.

I'm by no means dissing the OMMAC tourney by the way, it was still a great tourney, just using it as an example.
I think the ucc bw tourney has been completely cancelled due to signings and pull outs
Warburton vs Sinclair
Ray vs Fletcher
Newman vs Etim
It's good to be in the mix with these guys.
The BFC tried to do a big tournament year ago. I think a lot of Orgs supported it too, but it all fell through!

As you may have heard on the news, the Governor issued an executive order last week calling for the elimination of the Dept of History, Arts, and Libraries (HAL). Of course we are focused on what might happen to the Library of Michigan, various library services, and state funding for libraries. Currently public libraries receive a small per capita allocation from the state, but more importantly, state funds are a match to federal money which pays for MeLCat, the statewide catalog used for interlibrary loan, and the MeL databases.
The Michigan Library Association (MLA) Executive Director has issued a memo outlining the executive order from the perspective of the library community. MLA urges the Governor and the Legislature to maintain library services within state government and keep the functions whole, maintain state aid at the current $10 million level, and retain the position and role of the State Librarian.
I believe the state funded service most vital to KPL's patrons is MeLCat. We borrow over 1,000 items per month from other libraries for our patrons AND loan an equal number to other libraries for their patrons. That is only possible through the MeLCat catalog, the interlibrary loan system, and the delivery that moves the materials around the state. It depends upon state funding to match the federal funding.
Make your voice heard; contact your state senator or representative. The voice of library patrons will have more force than that of library staff alone.
