SEATTLE - The Sounders FC are continuing their drive toward returning to their strong form of their inaugural season. And a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids Sunday night at Qwest Field has them 2-0-1 over their last three matches.
Steve Zakuani scored twice in the first 17 minutes of the match, giving him seven goals on the season, and Kasey Keller nabbed some heart-stopping saves and the Sounders FC improved to 6-8-4 on the season in front of 36,333 at Qwest Field.
Fredy Montero got things started in the 8th minute, taking the ball through traffic into the penalty box. With tight pressure from Colorado, the ball spilled to Zakuani, who shot through four defenders to beat Colorado goalkeeper Matt Pickens to the left post. The shot ricocheted off the post and bounced off Pickens' back before finding itself in the back of the net for the 1-0 lead.
"Fredy kept the ball alive on the first goal, kept digging in, digging in, kept it alive and eventually it was Zakuani and he finished it," Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid said. "That's what you need. We need to score goals that are nice pieces of work, but we also need to score goals where we just scrap for 'em and that's something we haven't always been getting either."
But the celebration didn't last.
Before the confetti settled on the field, Omar Cummings equalized, taking a Pablo Mastroeni pass up the right side and blistering a ball into the far corner of the net to make it 1-1 in the 9th minute.
Zakuani played the hero, though, and pulled the Sounder back into the lead in the 17th minute on a great run of play for the Sounders. Montero came back to nearly midfield on the right sideline to collect a ball and send it up the side of the box for Sanna Nyassi on a run. Nyassi drew out Pickens and crossed to Zakuani on a run down the middle of the box for a one-touch goal to give the Sounders the 2-1 lead.
Colorado nearly equalized again in the 19th minute when Marvell Wynne crossed a ball to Conor Casey at penalty spot, but Keller had a bead on his header and parried it over the bar for the first of his two incredible saves that secured the 2-1 victory.
The second came in the 61st minutes when Mastroeni shot the ball toward the right post, only to have it deflect off of Jamie Smith and alter the direction of a shot that would have missed wide of the net. Keller dove to his left and speared the ball off the ground with his left hand, corralling the ball into his chest.
"I have been happy with my form really, probably, since the break," Keller said. "I think a little bit of experience comes into play on probably that first header from Conor. When he kind of had to check back to the ball I realized that the only way he is going to beat me is by looping it back over the top. I just didn't think he was going to be able to do it as well as he did. I think having that little thought in my mind gave me that half a second that allowed me to get back to the ball. I am just happy that I am able to help the team get some points."
Seattle held on in the game's waning moments and walked away with their second consecutive win - the first time in the 2010 season they have accomplished that.
"Obviously we're pleased with the three points," Schmid said. "I think the team showed a lot of grit and determination. In the beginning of the year we had some games when we played some good soccer and didn't come out with anything but now we get points and sometimes it means rolling up your sleeves and the team certainly did that."
With the win, Seattle moves within one point of a playoff spot with 22 points on the season, just one point behind Colorado (6-5-5) and the San Jose Earthquakes (6-4-5) in the Western Conference standings.
Seattle hosts Metapan in the first leg of the preliminary round series in the CONCACAF Champions League on Wednesday. They finish the aggregate goal series Tuesday, August 3 in San Salvador, El Salvador.
The Sounders FC's next MLS match is a Saturday road match against the Earthquakes as Seattle looks to avenge a 1-0 loss at Qwest earlier this season.

Pyrography (or wood burning), often referred to as Flemish Art, was a popular decorative form common in the early 1900's. It is often associated with the Arts and Crafts movement because of its simplicity and artistic qualities. We are offering a wonderful wooden tankard that has been beautifully made both in terms of design and execution. The piece stands a total of 11 5/8 inches tall and is 4 ½ inches in diameter at the round base. The handle sticks out about 2 1/8 inches from the edge of the tankard. At the top there is a hinged lid that is topped with a carved acorn. Around the sides of the piece pyrography has been used to burn in a nice design that consists of a gentleman's portrait along with some German script. The German text is "Wer nicht liebt wein, weib, und gesang, der bleibt ein narr, sein leben lang" and it translates as "Who does not love wine, woman, and song remains a fool and lives long." There is also a pyrographic illustration of a jovial looking gentleman with a goatee and moustache. Elsewhere the piece is decorated with a textured pyrographic design.
It is in excellent condition. It is clean and sound. The finish is still strong and the body is solid . Pieces like this often have the hinged lid detached or hardly hanging on. This lid is still solid as the day it was made. There appears to be a thin layer of varnish finish applied all over the decorated surfaces. There is one small area on one side where there appears to be some very minor spotting from paper or possibly an old label that stuck to the finish. Other than that, the tankard is as good as the day it was made. Finally, on the bottom it is signed "Flemish" with the inventory number 611.
This is a great piece of Flemish art that will be a wonderful addition to your collection and would look great sitting on a bookshelf. You can shop with confidence at Sweetpea Cottage. YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED. If you wish to return your purchase for any reason we gladly refund your purchase price minus shipping. Within three days of receiving your item, simply notify us by email that you wish to return it. Once we receive it in original condition in a timely fashion, then we will refund the full purchase price minus shipping charges.

I'm no stranger to recapping children's fantasy book series. Hell, I spent two or so years recapping Avalon: Web of Magic. However, I'm a big fan of Avalon; I considered the recap project a labor of love. This is the first time I'm recapping something I have mixed-to-negative feelings about.
Spirit Animals is a multi-author series: each book is written by a different author. Multiple authors means a faster publication schedule, meaning I'll hopefully get through these recaps in a year (barring delays due to grad school and boredom). However, this also means the writing quality and characterization will be inconsistent between the books. And I'm probably not going to shut up about it throughout this recap.
Anyway, let's get down to my actual first impressions on this series:
So I first heard about Spirit Animals through some press release about Avalon and multi-platform publishing. A book about kids bonding with magical animals to save the world sounded pretty cool.
Months later, I downloaded a copy of the first book … and I was rather disappointed. You can search through my old posts for my rants if you wish. I'll probably be making and expanding on a lot of the same points in my recap.
Wild Born is the first book, and it follows a rather simple formula:
- Kids from all corners of the world bond with Super Special magical animals.
- Kids are recruited by an organization to collect McGuffins to save the world.
- A secondary character who will only be relevant to this particular book is introduced.
- A party is gathered and ventures forth to collect the first McGuffin.
- Secondary character gets development (usually).
- Big fight scene between two rival organizations.
- Someone gets the McGuffin.
This formula (minus the introduction stuff) is repeated in all subsequent books — which makes things rather predictable and boring for me. So expect me to basically gloss over certain stuff later on.
Wild Born is written by Brandon Mull, who also wrote Fablehaven, which I hear is a popular children's book series. I'm not a fan of his writing — I tried reading Fablehaven and his writing style irritated me after two chapters. This book hasn't changed my opinion of him in the slightest.
On to the cover! Nothing really impressive here. There's a party of four kids of various ethnicities, four animals, and a vague mountain background. Kinda meh. Sorry, no foreign / international covers — as far as I know, this book hasn't been translated or released in other countries.
Here's what to expect from my recap:
- Me comparing everything in this fantasy world to their real-life counterparts!
- Lots of pictures of wildlife!
- No witty recap titles! (Why? Because the chapters are actually titled in this series.)
Next time: A protagonist deals with his jerk-ass boss. A fateful event occurs.

CUMBERLAND—The Greely girls' soccer team completed the regular season Tuesday night with yet another victory.
The Rangers, who were 2-3 on Sept. 22, finished the year on a 7-0-2 surge, capped by a 1-0 win over visiting Yarmouth, the top-ranked team in Western B.
On Senior Night, Greely got the game's lone goal from senior Kelly Burrell in the 57th minute and held on to improve to 9-3-2, dropping the Clippers to 11-2-1 in the process.
"Yarmouth's a very good team," said Burrell. "I'm proud of how our team played. We didn't give up and we got a win. We wanted it badly, especially on Senior Night, and we got it."
Final days
Greely and Yarmouth are longtime powerhouses who have lived up to billing in 2010.
Last year, the Rangers excelled, but were upset in the Western A semifinals by Thornton Academy. This year's squad was untested and struggled early, dropping three straight games (including a 2-1 overtime decision at Yarmouth Sept. 20) before turning it on with a vengeance, winning six times and tying York twice prior to Tuesday.
The Clippers, semifinalists in Western B a year ago, won their first 11 games this autumn, then tied host Falmouth and lost, 1-0, at nemesis York, the defending Class B champion.
Tuesday night, both teams would have their chances in an entertaining affair.
In the sixth minute, Yarmouth's promising sophomore Tess Merrill hinted at a big night to come when she won possession down the left sideline and sent a cross toward the goal that was cleared out of bounds, setting up a corner kick.
Five minutes later, Merrill went at it again, beating a defender into the box before crossing the ball to junior Mo Mcnaboe, who couldn't quite reach it with Greely junior goalkeeper Lindsey Arsenault (one save) out of position.
With 24:58 to play in the 40-minute first half, the Clippers got another corner. The ball was played back to senior Becca Bell who sent it on frame. Arsenault bobbled the shot and Yarmouth senior Jeanna Lowery was able to get a shot off in front, but it was high.
The best scoring chance for the hosts in the first 40 minutes came with 4:05 to go when sophomore Sammi Toorish took a pass from Burrell and fired a shot from a tough angle that Clippers freshman goalkeeper Olivia Smith saved.
The action picked up in the second half.
In the second minute, Toorish broke in, but Smith (five saves) knocked the ball away. It sat free momentarily in the box, but Yarmouth sophomore Megan Decker cleared it at the last second. A minute later, Greely sophomore Holly Rand took a pass from Toorish and shot just high.
At the other end, Mcnaboe crossed to Merrill, but she couldn't quite reach the pass. The ball then came out to junior Ricki Pierce, but her shot was blocked. With 24:38 to play, Clippers senior Devin Simsarian bent a shot that just went wide.
With 23:12 left, the Rangers broke through.
Junior Audrey Parolin managed to get a pass through to Burrell, who turned and fired a rocket with her left foot past Smith and into the right corner of the goal for a 1-0 lead.
"I got a ball from Audrey, who's an amazing player," Burrell said. "It was kind of crazy in the middle. I got the ball on my left foot. The goalie was off-balance and I shot it and hoped for the best that it would find the corner and it did. I had opportunities in the first half, but I knew I had to keep working."
"It was a great shot," added Greely coach Michael Kennedy. "I'm glad Kelly got it."
Five minutes later, the hosts almost doubled their lead, but junior Sara Schad was robbed by Smith, who then denied Parolin on the rebound.
The Clippers had two final chances to tie.
With 14:31 to play, Merrill sent another cross into harm's way, but the ball trickled through and was ultimately sent out of bounds, leading to a corner, that produced nothing.
Then, with time winding down, the speedy Simsarian won possession on the right wing and raced in. With the clock showing 11.1 seconds, she fired a contested shot that to the relief of the home team and its fans, sailed wide right.
The clock ran out and Greely was able to celebrate its win.
"We're still figuring it out," said Kennedy. "We're in a good groove. Tonight, we moved the ball really, really well. Offensively, we were dynamite. Our wings were great. Our defense was solid. We played really good soccer. When we play within ourselves, we're a great team.
"In the middle and offensive thirds, I was pleased athletically how much we wore them down. We're skilled, but also athletically gifted. Yarmouth's a really good team. They're a lot better than the first time we played. We had some chances on the doorstep. It took awhile. We're happy with a win. Our goal is always to score three goals. We had 15 shots. That's a good number against a quality team."
Yarmouth finished with nine corner kicks to just four for the Rangers.
"I normally don't like to see that many corners," Kennedy said. "That's never good. We have to work on that."
The Clippers, who were playing without key injured senior stars Courtney Barker and Natalie Salmon, went down fighting.
"Greely's an excellent team," said Yarmouth coach Rich Smith. "They pass the ball well. We played hard and had a good game. We had some chances, but couldn't quite finish. Their goalie came out and got our crosses and we missed a couple."
Playoff time
The Clippers, by virtue of York's 0-0 tie at Cape Elizabeth Tuesday, will retain the top seed in Western B and will have homefield advantage for the upcoming playoffs. It's the first time Yarmouth's finished first since its last championship season of 2003. The Clippers return to action next Tuesday in the quarterfinals.
"It was an excellent (regular) season," Smith said. "It's nice to be home on our turf. We'll take our chances. I like my team."
The Rangers (who avenged all three losses from earlier in the season) are in a close battle with Thornton Academy for the No. 2 seed behind Scarborough. They'll await the release of the final standings and after hosting a quarterfinal next Tuesday, they'll look to potentially be home for the semifinal round.
"I think we'll do pretty well if we play like we did today," Burrell said.
"It's the same drill for us," Kennedy added. "Half the kids have never been there before. Last year's team had been there. If we prepare well and play within the system, I think we'll do fine. These last nine games were so important for us. It's important to get home playoff games. It's a nice field and a good surface for us. We definitely have an advantage here."

Oftentimes settlements or trials take place long after medical treatment has been administered to the injured parties. When this happens, a medical provider is entitled to a lien on the unpaid medical bills against the injured parties' settlement or damage award. 770 ILCS 23/10. Illinois does recognize liens asserted by health care providers including: hospitals, doctors, physical therapists and chiropractors. 770 ILCS 23/10.
Under the Healthcare Services Lien Act, the combined liens from healthcare professionals (doctors and dentists, for example) and healthcare providers (hospitals, for example) cannot exceed 40 percent of the injured party's recovery of damages. 770 ILCS 23/. If the lien amount is greater than 40 percent of the total recovery, each category (healthcare provider and professional) is capped at 20 percent of the recovery. Additionally, neither healthcare providers nor professionals individually may have a lien amounting greater than 33 percent of the injured party's recovery. 770 ILCS 23/.
A lien is considered to be a legal interest in a particular cause of action so the liens will need to be addressed before the settlement proceeds can be distributed. An auto accident attorney can explain more detail about the physician lien law in Illinois and can advise as to how the law impacts settlement of funds.
Liens on Auto Accident Cases Can be a Big Deal
A medical lien is a secured interest in a case and is legally binding. Your failure to address the presence of a lien can create big problems for you in the future. In addition to the Lien Act discussed above, Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC regularly negotiates physician, chiropractic, Medicare, hospital and health insurance liens on behalf of our clients. The reduction of medical liens not only puts more settlement money into your pocket, but it also gives you the piece of mind that the bill was properly negotiated and paid.
Upon the resolution of every client's case, we provide you with a copy of the lien reduction correspondence as well as copy of the check that was sent to the provider.
Do You Have Questions About a Medical Lien in an Illinois Car Accident Case?
Unfortunately, the world of medical liens can be difficult to digest if you have not dealt with them before. At Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC our staff is familiar with all types of liens on personal injury cases. When you retain our office on your case, you can rest assured that our office will work tirelessly to ensure that all lienholders interest is satisfied and reduced to the fullest extent of the law.

maddie's chicago favorites
I adore a good meal out, and Chicago has no shortage of fantastic spots worth a visit. Since I'm regularly being asked by friends and family about my go-to restaurants/bars/bakeries/groceries, I felt a list would be a fitting reference. This is by no means comprehensive but rather a snapshot of my Chicago favorites that have been vetted through countless visits over the years.
Lula Cafe // Logan Square // Without question, my favorite restaurant in Chicago and one of the pioneers of "farm to table" dining in the city (before it was the hip thing to do). Beautiful, inspired, vegetable-forward food with good vibes all around.
Income Tax // Edgewater // A perfect neighborhood spot with, in my opinion, the best wine list in the city.
Cafe Marie Jeanne // Humboldt Park // I normally hate eating brunch out (why pay $15 for bacon and eggs when it costs nickles and dimes to make at home), but Cafe Marie Jeanne does it so well that I make an exception. Their a la carte menu lets you get exactly the fixings you want, without any fluff. I tend to opt for the scrambled egg, hashed browns, fresh fruit combo with a side of hot smoked salmon and whatever pastry looks the prettiest that day.
Passerotto // Andersonville // You might not think that Italian and Korean cuisines could easily fuse, but Andersonville's newcomer, Passerotto, shatters that notion in the most innovative way. The food here highlights the simplicity of Italian cooking along with the bold flavors and techniques of Korean cuisine to create its own genre entirely. Always surprising and always delicious.
Ghareeb Nawaz // Roger's Park // Possibly the best steal in the city. Insanely cheap and super tasty Indian and Pakistani food. They have an enormous menu so bring lots of hungry friends with you.
Lindo Guadalajara // Ravenswood // Tiny, divey Mexican restaurant with some of the best tacos I've had in Chicago. The chorizo and chicken are musts, washed down by an ice-cold Topo Chico.
Gather // Lincoln Square // This unassuming spot boasts one of my favorite breakfasts in town. The food is always eclectic and super affordable.
Piece // Wicker Park // The pizza I treat myself too when I just need a greasy (in a good way), thin crust slice. Be sure to bring along a buddy because their pies are massive.
Athenian Room // Lincoln Park // Chicken Kalamata Style dinner. Not much more you need in life.
Tank Noodle // Uptown // The best Vietnamese food I've ever had. The sizzling pork and shrimp crepe is the stuff dreams are made of.
Nhu Lan Bakery // Lincoln Square // Bahn mi of my dreams, with the crustiest, fluffiest bread, made in house. Lemongrass chicken is my preferred, but the menu has over 20 options to suit any taste.
Honey Butter Fried Chicken // Avondale // Its hard to go wrong when you pair perfectly executed fried chicken and impeccable customer service. An absolute must if you're hankering for comfort food. The honeycomb shaped corn muffins are also CRAZY addicting.
Cellar Door Provisions // Logan Square // A little piece of California hip right here in Chicago. While all of the savory breakfast and lunch options are terrific, the kouign amann is a must.
Publican Quality Meats // West Loop // My go-to when I'm in a meaty mood. I tend to go the charcuterie board and beer route here and it never disappoints.
Demera // Uptown // Ethiopian food is right in my "pseudo-vegetarian" wheelhouse with their enormous mixed platters. Plus you get to eat with your hands and pile everything into copious amounts of flatbread.
Spacca Napoli // Ravenswood // Old school Italian pizza joint right in my neighborhood. Always a wait for dinner, but I promise its well worth it.
Dove's Luncheonette // Wicker Park // Cool diner vibes with down-home Mexican fusion food. Their "back to life" seafood cocktail is a must, served in an ice cream sundae glass with a side of saltines. Killer!
mfk // Lincoln Park // An often forgotten tiny nook of a restaurant churning out fantastic tapas and Spanish-inspired plates. I'd come for here for the crunchy prawn heads alone, but the seasonally inspired menu is always full of winners.
Avec // West Loop // The original "small plate" Chicago restaurant that always hits the spot. The sleek decor and cozy ambiance make it an ideal date night or special occasion spot.
Coalfire // Lakeview // Yes, this is the third pizza place on this list. My most visited within the bunch and one of the better pepperoni pizzas I've ever had. The pistachio pesto pie is equally as impressive.
Pub Royale // Wicker Park // English-style beer hall with a beautifully curated selection of Indian food (plus a badass burger). Be sure to try the salt cod samosas and eggplant curry.
Mindy's Hot Chocolate // Bucktown // An old favorite of mine and great spot for a fancy, plated dessert.
Small Cheval // Wicker Park // Burgers just the way I like them. Simple, classic and unfussy served with fries and a shake.
Weiner Circle // Lincoln Park // My old neighborhood hotdog stand and go-to for Chicago dogs. Proceed with caution if you're heading here late night as the staff is notorious for getting rowdy with customers.
Hopleaf // Andersonville // Huge beer list with some super interesting drafts and bottles. Been on a sour beer kick here lately.
Scofflaw // Logan Square // A truly exemplary bar in my book. Super reasonably priced cocktails that change monthly, lots of room to stand/sit and friendly bartenders to boot.
California Clipper // Humboldt Park // Cavernous and cool with a Negroni that can't be beat.
Estereo // Logan Square // Fun summer spot with their big open windows and extensive mezcal selection.
Red & White // Wicker Park // I adore this minimalist wine bar. The staff is super knowledgable and always manages to find the exact glass you're looking for even when you don't know yourself.
Billy Sunday // Logan Square // Where I go to satisfy my stomach-settler kick. One of the best apertif/digestif selections in the city and a staff that has the knowledge to guide you through the experience. Bring friends and ask your server to bring you a flight of their favorites.
Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits // Ravenswood & Logan Square // The most wonderful place to live two blocks away from. I crave their fancy grits on the regular. The biscuits and pies don't suck either.
Floriole // Lincoln Park // Best pastries in Chicago. Hands down. All of the croissants are laminated to perfection and the pot de creme/passionfruit tart are as gorgeous as they are delicious.
Spinning J // Humboldt Park // The old fashioned soda fountain vibe here is so charming as are the housemate baked goods, rotating pies, and homemade sodas and floats.
Loba Pastry + Coffee // Lakeview // The rebel child of the Chicago bakery scene. Lots of traditional favorites but with a signature Mexican flair.
Lost Larson // Andersonville // Since its opening this summer, I think I've visited this Scando-inspired bakery at least once a week. I'm partial to the Tebirke, a not-too-sweet croissant loaded with marzipan and topped with a layer of poppy seeds. The necessary accompaniment to a frothy cafe au lait.
Groceries/Specialty Stores
Middle Eastern Bakery & Grocery // Andersonville // I could roam through this place for hours, loading up on bulk spices, halvah, olives and housemate pitas/hummus. The falafel and schwarma at their neighboring restaurant are also a great, cheap lunch option.
Independent Spirits // Uptown // You're always bound to find something new at this charming Edgewater shop. I love their apertif/digestif selections and seemingly endless array of wines.
Green City Market // Lincoln Park // The creme de la creme of Chicago Farmer's Markets. Take a few hours on a summery Saturday morning and just roam, snack, shop, repeat.
Logan Square Farmer's Market // Logan Square // A more intimate market relative to Green City, right in the heart of Logan Square. The best people watching around!
Pastoral // Lakeview // This place satisfies all of my former cheesemonger cravings with tons of imported/domestic cheeses and specialty products to pair.

Second Edition
The definitive critical introduction to American society.More
A preeminent sociologist of race explains a groundbreaking new framework for understanding racial inequality, challenging both conservative and liberal dogma.More
"Lewis has such a gift for storytelling... he writes as lucidly for sports fans as for those who read him for other reasons."--Janet Maslin, New York TimesMore
The powerful case for a society of mutual respect.More
Unsparing and important. . . . An informative, clearheaded and sobering book.—Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post (1999 Critic's Choice)More
This revised and enlarged edition of the leading anthology provides the essential writings of Marx and Engels--those works necessary for an introduction to Marxist thought and ideology.More
This is a study of poverty in our cities—its causes, its composition, its dimensions, and its solutions. It is not a book which will please those who worship America's high standard of living. Nor will it please liberal reformers who say our social welfare policies have begun to eliminate the problem. (Indeed, it is suggested that urban poor exist in greater numbers and in greater misery than ever before, despite statistics to the contrary.) And it will not please radicals in search of support for abolition of the capitalist system because liberal reforms have failed in the past.

Whether you are frugal, green, or just want the best for your kiddos, these baby wipes are amazing!!!
Before our first child was born, a couple of friends gave me a recipe to make homemade baby wipes. Now four children later and 14.2 billion diapers changes (or so it has seemed), homemade baby wipes are all that we use in our home. After you give them a try, see the savings, and realize how simple it is to make your own, I believe you will make the switch too!
I especially love these wipes on my babies' sensitive skin. We have battled countless cases of diaper rash through the years. Using these wipes doesn't burn their little bottoms. Also, I love knowing exactly what ingredients are in the wipes.
- Tall, round 3 Quart container with a lid. (I use the second to largest container that comes in a plastic canister set for dry baking ingredients.)
- Baby shampoo

Meet Our Team
"I graduated from high school knowing I wanted to pursue work in the building trades. I was privileged to learn under a highly-regarded Des Moines-area home builder who taught me how to build quality homes and to treat customers right. I spent 20 years in new home building. Ongoing customer service and excellence remain the cornerstone of my business today.
Previous to starting my home inspection company I ran Wiemann Remodeling with my son, Chris. Our Des Moines area home inspection company stemmed from numerous customers asking me to inspect their homes in preparation to sell. They also regularly consulted with me regarding problems encountered after moving into a home. As a result, I felt a strong desire to provide people with honest, skilled inspections and to make scheduling an inspection as simple as possible. For me, it's all about treating people right.
My wife, Julie and I have two children, Nicole and Chris who are both married, and we have two grandsons and a granddaughter! We worship at the Ridge in Ankeny where we are both involved in serving in a variety of ways. My hobbies include home projects and spending time with family and friends. I was certified through the American Society of Home Inspectors (AHIT), and I get yearly CEUs through the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). Membership in ASHI is only allowed when you get yearly CEUs.
Chuck Wiemann
Owner & Inspector
"I've always loved building things and working on houses. At a young age I started helping my dad work and do projects around the house. When I was in high school I took a two year remodeling program at Central Campus and through our church participated in multiple working mission trips to help remodel and rebuild communities in several different states.
I had the opportunity to gain a lot of experience working with a new home builder in the area for a couple of years, and then helping run our family remodeling business for several years. I also spent a couple of years working for a local excavating company where I did earthwork and gained underground utility experience as well. My building experience comes from both residential and commercial. When dad got so busy that he was constantly turning away work in the home inspection business I was excited to be in the same industry just in a different way. Like him, serving people and teaching them about homes is my passion.
My wife Amanda and I have two boys, and a little girl. We live in Urbandale, worship and serve at Lutheran Church of Hope-Waukee, and I enjoy working on home projects, golf and spending time with my family." I am also certified through AHIT and a member of ASHI. I love to learn and am constantly looking at ways to improve our skills as home inspectors in Des Moines.
Chris Wiemann
"Prior to joining Wiemann Home Inspection, I was a middle school science teacher for 34 years, using my summers as an opportunity to help a contractor with remodeling homes, roofing and building garages. I love to teach, having also taught driver education for several years, and enjoyed many successful seasons as a cross country and track coach, where I was fortunate enough to coach on three state championship teams. I am excited to be a home inspector so I can continue educating as a profession (now educating homeowners instead of students). I have seen how Chuck, Chris, and their team provide excellent customer service and am committed to doing that as well.
My wife Nancy and I have three children: Kelli, Duff, & Shelby, and a son-in-law Dave. We also have three granddaughters. We attend Ankeny First United Methodist Church. My hobbies include spending time with family and friends, landscaping, home projects, and following the Iowa Hawkeyes." I took my training with AHIT in early 2017 and am also a member of ASHI.
Dave Spratte
Brad Koenigsberg
"From the time I was young, and because I started farming with my family immediately out of high school, I've always been handy and interested in learning. For many summers I assisted a local builder with a variety of projects to help supplement farming income. Additionally, remodeling our old farmhouse has been a constant "past-time" for my entire adult life. In many of my projects i gleaned valuable information from my brother-in-law Chuck and nephew Chris, and am excited to join the family business.
My wife Mary Jo and I have two children, Rachael and Peter; as well as three grandchildren. We live in Sheffield, Iowa; worship and serve in a variety of leadership roles at Rolling Acres Church in Mason City. In addition to being a farmer; I spent 10 years driving a fed ex truck ; where I was able to use my customer relations skills. I enjoy working on home projects, golf, and spending time with my wife and grandkids. " I am also certified through AHIT and a member of ASHI.

Ama Necklace
The turquoise in our Ama Necklace was chosen by Nettie while on a road trip through the South West. Its from the Kingman mine in Arizona, one of the last working turquoise mines in the South West. As the turquoise ranges in color from pale green to deep blue, each necklace will be completely unique and one of a kind.
Delicate, textured pendant measuring approx. 2.5 inches in length inlayed with raw crushed turquoise, hangs from a 16 inch chain and finished with our signature clasp.
Please keep the turquoise dry as it is a porous mineral and the color may change.
As with all our jewelry it is handmade in our Brooklyn studio using reclaimed metals and careful attention to sustainable studio practices.

text: I would like to know the dimensions for the DiMarzio Model One. I'm going to buy a Epiphone EB-3, and I'm going to replace the neck pickup, but I'm going to hybrid it with an EMG or Bartolini MM pickup replacement. I'm also going to change the bridge to a Badass II. This is my second "mod" bass after I defretted my MIM P-Bass, and fitted it with an EMG 35TW. I'm looking to go for a different sound with this one, but I don't wanna use the Dimarzio pups, since I've heard them and don't really like the tone, way too muddy for me. Anywho, if anyone knows the dimensions of the pickups that would be great.

Makeover Tips For Women
Bored with life? Need to get over a bad break up? Have you been looking the same way for since like eternity? Need to feel good about yourself? Well my beauties, I am sure many of you have gone through at least one of these emotions at some point of time or the other. You have stood there staring at the mirror trying to figure out what exactly the change that you can make to your appearance that is going make you fall in love with yourself once again. Right?
Well for you, here are some makeover tips that you might find useful.
The most simple yet effective way of transformation is perhaps getting a hair cut. Proper haircut can do tons to change your look in a matter of minutes. It can take the ages of your face, making you look younger and prettier. Consult your hairstylist for this. Discuss what sort of look will suit you. if you have a heavy round face then get a cut that covers parts of your cheeks, so that the face looks smaller. If you happen to have a big forehead then you can have fringes to cover it up. Just go ahead and experiment with it. And if you are scared that you will lose the length that you have always loved, then explain that to your stylist so that the person can give a cut accordingly.
Getting a hair cut does not mean you lose your length completely. Nothing can be worse than a drab boring length of hair. Go out and experiment.
Next comes your wardrobe. Stop wearing boring dull colours. There are just absolutely so many colours for you to choose from. But before you start choosing colours, finds out which colour suits you according to your skin undertone and complexion. Wearing the wrongs colours can actually ruin your effort complete. One can divide the skin undertone in three categories, warm, cool and neutral. Gold, yellow, orange, brown copper, green, etc are some of the colours for the warm skin toned people, basically you have to choose colours that have a hint of yellow in them. And for the cool toned people choose colours with a hint of blue in them. Neutral tones ones are lucky as both warm and cool colours suit them.
Once you are done choosing the colours, it's time to choose the right clothes. In this case, try an push yourself out of the comfort zone a bit. That is the whole point of getting a makeover after all. Remember you have the confidence then you can carry of everything. Try and get to know the best features of your body and try to enhance them. Some may have nice broad shoulders, so go for something like a boat neck cut that will enhance the area. But if you have problems like a bulging tummy flab, then wear clothes that are not too tight n that are, or wear something that cleverly hides that area and instead shifts the focus to the lower of upper part of your body. Most importantly you should break through the type that you have wearing till date and try on something new.
Accessorising is important. Even something as simple as a colour beaded neck piece can do tons to enhance the look. Plus it adds an element of fun into your look.
Go for neck pieces or big dangler, or even bracelets.
Hairdo is as important part of the makeover as the rest. Now suppose you manage to get a good haircut the end up tying it up in a top bun, then what was the point of getting that haircut, right? So try braiding it up in a new way, or go for a messy bun, which can give you that carelessly perfect look. Experiment! A look is not just about putting on makeup, it is the complete process that is important.
Next comes the makeup. Which is extremely important. Understand that putting on makeup doesn't mean that you are faking it. It only means that you are going that extra mile to make yourself look even more gorgeous. So first of all find out what are the colours that suit you. That will make it much easier for you to choose the right shades for yourself. A dash of colour on your lips and a dab on the cheeks can actually take you entire look to a different look altogether.
With this pay attention to areas like your eyebrow, make sure they are in perfect shape, for an eyebrow can make or break an entire look. Get them threaded or plucked, use some shimmer on the brow-bone to enhance the eyes. Experiment with liner looks.
Now these were some of the basic makeover tips that you can apply to bring on some changes in your present look. But what is more important is for you to feel that change from within. And once you have achieved that you will have achieved a true makeover.
Do you have more make over tips to share?

Today I have been Christmas Hashing!
The friendlyness of the weather is reciprocal to the distance to the hash.
—a theory that is often proved
I am currently visiting my family to celebrate Christmas. The hash was really close so the weather had to be awful. It was cold, foggy and raining, but hashing was possible nontheless. My cousin came with me, but refused to leave the car once we were near the hash. The ground in this area is made of high-quality soil - that means: mostly loam. I just walked into the middle of the field, took the photos and walked back to the car. I guess, I was a good inch taller after leaving the field.

Ruby to replace Java - or compliment it?
I've been singing Ruby's praises ever since I started researching the language a couple of years ago. I've not written much Ruby code, picked up the 1st pickaxe book, read it a couple of times, then the next year came round so I've now got the 2nd edition!
I've written a few Ruby 'scripts' (no objects or classes) and have been impressed with how quickly I have been able to get it to do my bidding compared to Java. One application running on Linux needed to read some data from a Postgresql database, generate a Windows Zip file then FTP it to a remote server. When I thought about coding this in Java I started to shiver, Java's strong point has never been it's ease to interact with the command line, and FTP libraries are not part of the java. or javax. packages.
Several people have asked "so are you saying that Java is rubbish and we should all move to Ruby?". My basic answer is "no, but I want to really get into a scripting language and Ruby seems OO enough for me to get into it fairly easily".
Dave Thomas (one of the Pragmatic Programmers) said it best recently when he said "not exclusively: you're likely to want to use Rails as well as Java." Dave has started a number of posts around this topic the first is titled "Is Ruby Better Than ...?".
Java and Ruby are similar in some respects and different in others, if I need to write some quick utility scripts or manipulate some text files then Ruby would be my choice. If I need to access some middleware message queues and fit into an existing application server infrastructure then Java would be the language of choice.
At the end of the day, it's all down to adding strings to your bow, sometimes the choice is just which strings to invest your time and effort in...

A sub-group led by ICICI Bank MD & CEO Chanda Kochhar has made a strong case for an expeditious implementation of coal procurement and pricing mechanism (CPPM) covering all operational power projects. The sub-group appointed by advisory group led by power minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has suggested gas procurement & pricing mechanism (GPPM).
Kochhar submitted the sub-group's report at the third meeting of the advisory group held on Thursday evening. The advisory group has been set up to look into various issues faced by the power sector and suggest slew of measures.
The sub-group has emphasized the need for augmentation of domestic coal production by speedy clearance, mining development operations, merchant miners and policy on sale of surplus coal from captive mines to reduce dependence on coal imports.
Besides, the sub-group has suggested that the state-run GAIL India to be appointed as pool operator, formulation of a separate standard bidding document (SBD) for gas based power procurement to address mismatches during the period of the gas supply agreement and long-term PPAs. A separate policy on peaking power procurement and tariff be formulated to procure peaking power from gas based stations.
The sub-group has suggested two options for the generation capacity to be included in the CPPM pool.
Option I: Entire linkage based capacity (98,000 Mw) operating as on date:10 to 15 paisa per unit increase in variable cost of generation.
Option II: Existing linkage based capacity commissioned after a certain cut-off date (March 31, 2009):50 paisa per unit increase in variable cost of generation. Further, the sub-group has recommended that upcoming capacity scheduled for commissioning till March 31, 2017 may also be included in the pool as and when commissioned by 60 to 70 paisa per unit increase in variable cost of generation.
Projects in advanced stages of construction (expected to get commissioned within XIIth Plan) but not yet allocated any coal may be included in CPPM pool when commissioned based on a differential formula of pooled pricing.
For any new projects beyond XIIth Plan period taken up in future, the price of such coal can be based on a differential formula such that the pricing for operational projects is not disturbed and shall not form part of the CPPM arrangement.
As an interim solution, each project company should have the option to directly import its coal requirement and have the increased variable cost as an automatic pass through in tariffs (based on a Reference price) till CPPM is implemented.
"Power Minister has informed the advisory group that ministries of power and coal are able to sort out their differences on coal pooling and the issue will be taken up by Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs at its meeting slated for April 23," said Ashok Khurana, director, general, Association of Power Producers and the member of the advisory group.
Furthermore, the sub-group has recommended single window clearance for Coal India (CIL) and captive coal blocks, fuel pass through in all Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) till normative availability pursuant to CIL being unable to meet its contractual commitments, establishment of an independent coal regulatory authority for effective monitoring and regulation of the sector. Besides, the sub-group has called for rationalization of allocated coal linkages for economic transportation of coal, formulation of a comprehensive plan for improvement of coal handling and logistics facilities and change in coal sector from monopolistic structure to a completely open model.
On the gas based projects and present deficit, the sub-group has called upon the government to accord high priority in existing gas allocation to power sector, diversion of gas from non-core (6 million metric standard cubic meter per day) to core sector (power & fertilizer), augmentation in new allocation to core sectors (10 mmscmd) from ONGC / GSPC gas fields.
India's Installed generating capacity of about 211,800 Mw at January 31, 2013. Of the 211,800 Mw, coal based projects are 122,900 Mw presently operating at average PLF of ~ 74%, gGas based projects 18,900 Mw presently operating at an average PLF of ~ 35%.
Capacity likely to be added from February 1, 2013 onwards till the end of the XIIth Plan period (upto March 31, 2017) is about 78,500 Mw (71,000 Mw of coal based capacity and balance 7,500 Mw gas based capacity).
The sub-group has suggested two options for speedy implementation of GPPM.
Option I: Common pool for core sectors (both power sector and fertilizer) on equal parity corresponding to 70% PLF for power sector and 70% of demand from fertilizer sector –blending ratio of domestic gas to R-LNG of (67%:33%).
Option II: Pooling of power sector for gas based capacity at 60% PLF with fertilizer sector at 40 mmscmd can result in blending ratio of domestic gas to R-LNG of (67%:33%).
Option III: Fertilizer sector retaining its existing allocation and requirement of power sector at 50% PLF can result in blending ratio of domestic gas to R-LNG of (67%:33%).
According to the sub-group, projects with generation capacity of 7,500 Mw not having gas allocations but which were assured gas availability in future may also be included in pool when commissioned and given 12-18 months for entering into PPAs at regulated tariff under Section 62 of Electricity Act, 2003.
Additionally, the sub-group has argued that gas should be classified as declared goods to avoid variation in tax rates and policy initiatives be taken to expedite international gas pipelines.

I know this is a little early, but recently, I've been thinking about how many different avenues exist for selling/buying stuff at Stanford. I wanted to run down the options students have.
Facebook Marketplace
Come take a look….
The big bad wolf. Craigslist has been around for a while and it's the first stop for many Stanford students.
Pros – Lots of stuff to buy and sell
Con – Sellers/Buyers can be far away so you need a cars
The oncampus version of Craigslist, SUPost seems to be doing fairly well since launching last year with a massive advertising campaign (SUPost. Sell your stuff)
Pro – Everyone is on campus so getting to people is not as hard
Con – less selection compared to craigslist.
I've been seeing a lot of facebook flyers for ULoop, and it seems like they are trying to hit a lot of campuses at once. The only problem is that its hard to get saturation when you're casting your nets so widely.
Cons – There seems to be no one from Stanford on it
– You have to register to post something
This is very new, I just noticed it a few days ago on my sidebar.
Pros – Easy to use, convienient
Cons – less people using it, (but that could change)
Techtain is also pretty new – I've been seeing flyers around my dorm this quarter. I fail to understand why people try to do the invitation-only groups. It just makes barrier to entry that much harder and limits the selection for peple who are in.
Pros – "trusted membership"
Cons – You're not part of that membership
I'm sticking with SUPost for now, but keeping my eye out for Facebook Marketplace to hedge my bets.
Tell me your thoughts!

Defusing the Dairy Dilemma
There can't be many people who have missed the national "Got Milk?" ads of the past decade. This whimsical campaign for U.S. dairies has featured some 200 celebrities, athletes, and musicians sporting exaggerated milk mustaches. The Milk Processor Education Program has said its goal in the ads has been to show that consuming milk is cool (not just for babies any more) and healthy. The cited benefits include strengthening bones and teeth, lowering blood pressure, and limiting weight gain.
However, increasing the consumption of milk by teens and adults has proven an uphill battle, particularly among people who have—or suspect they have—lactose intolerance.
Beginning around age 2, as much as three-quarters of people around the world lose their ability to produce ample lactase. That's the enzyme needed to break down lactose, the primary sugar in milk.
When these lactose-intolerant individuals consume dairy products, most of milk's sugar will pass largely undigested through the upper gastrointestinal tract and into the colon. That's not good because there, normal, gut-dwelling microbes will feast on the sugar and belch out hydrogen and other gases. Indeed, researchers test for lactose intolerance by measuring hydrogen in a person's breath after a meal.
When a person with intolerance consumes too much milk or cheese, a host of unpleasant symptoms can arise: chiefly nausea, cramps, flatulence, and diarrhea.
As many as 50 million people in the United States are considered lactose intolerant, with certain ethnic groups disproportionately affected. Some 80 percent of African Americans and Native Americans have the condition, as do more than 90 percent of Asian Americans. In contrast, only about 10 percent of adults with a Northern-European heritage have trouble breaking down lactose.
However, a new analysis in the Journal of Nutrition finds that even people with confirmed lactose intolerance can usually drink at least a cup of milk without symptoms—especially if that milk is consumed with a meal. The finding didn't surprise human nutritionist Dennis A. Savaiano of Purdue University, the study's lead author. Indeed, it dovetailed with results from a host of clinical studies carried out by his team over more than a decade.
These data reinforce that people with lactose intolerance can safely digest more dairy than they think they can, says Savaiano, a lactose-intolerant Italian-American. Indeed, the researcher regularly drinks milk with breakfast and dinner and downs additional dairy foods most days during lunch. The trick is to consume them in moderation, he says.
Few people need to shun milk, one of the diet's richest sources of calcium, says Savaiano. He points out that this mineral remains woefully deficient in most adults' diets.
Got calcium?
Despite the recommendation that people age 6 and older consume between 1,000 and 1,500 milligrams of calcium daily, few adults do so.
Theresa Nicklas of the Department of Agriculture's Children's Nutrition Research Center in Houston has been studying the problem. At a biology meeting last year, she and her colleagues reported that in Bogalusa, La., 80 percent of a population of adults consume no more than two servings of milk or other dairy foods per day. About half of the study participants consumed one serving or less. Considering that a cup of milk has only 300 mg of calcium, few people were deriving much of the mineral from dairy sources.
Other foods containing calcium don't fill the mineral gap for most people. Broccoli is a calcium-rich vegetable, but a typical serving of that has only 50 milligrams. The same amount of the mineral is present in a serving of enriched orange juice. A cup of soybeans or baked beans delivers more calcium—but still only half as much as a serving of milk does.
It's because milk and other dairy products are such rich calcium sources that most nutritionists advocate consuming low-fat dairy products on a daily basis.
Overcoming intolerance
The Purdue researchers almost 2 decades ago began pursuing ways to help lactose-intolerant individuals cope with dairy foods. The team's original ideas included keeping portion sizes small and eating them along with foods to slow the passage of milk sugar through the gut.
However, notes Savaiano, along the way his group and others found that many people who know they're lactose intolerant—or think they are—are reluctant to consume dairy products at all. This is despite the fact that when tested, few people can tell the difference—in terms of symptoms—between foods free of lactose and those with a moderate amount.
Since most such studies have been small, the Purdue group decided to pool results from a host of experiments in which people were given a food with or without lactose and asked to record any gastrointestinal symptoms. In these trials, neither the participants nor researchers knew who got lactose-containing meals until after the tests had been completed.
Although a scan of the published record for potentially applicable studies turned up 1,553 possible candidates, independent reviewers dismissed most of them as containing either potential biases or major deficiencies in their design or data reports. In the end, Savaiano says, "I was surprised" at the small number of quality studies available for analysis. Just 21 met the criteria for inclusion.
In the April Journal of Nutrition, Savaiano's team reports that among people diagnosed with lactose intolerance, the severity of symptoms is no worse after downing a cup of milk—or other food with an equivalent amount of lactose—than after ingesting a lactosefree food or drink. "This included perceived severity of abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, degree of loose stools or diarrhea and flatulence," the team reports.
Although dose can make a big difference in whether symptoms appear, the researchers couldn't gauge how big a difference from these studies because most had administered about the same amount of lactose.
Eating well, doing good
Savaiano's team first reported its findings a year ago at a small symposium entitled Calcium-Related Chronic Diseases in Ethnic Minorities—Can Dairy Consumption Reduce Health Disparities? At the same meeting, Molly E. Reusser of Academic Network in Portland, Ore., and David A. McCarron of the University of California, Davis reviewed data on hypertension. They noted that blacks have far higher rates of high blood pressure than do whites. This major risk factor for heart disease currently afflicts at least 42 percent of all African American adults, more than 9 million people.
One diet that has proven effective at lowering blood pressure, especially in black adults, is known as DASH, for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. Although media attention has focused on the fruit-and-vegetable component of the regimen, Reusser and McCarron argue that this emphasis has been "both misplaced and misleading." Why? The dietary elements that probably decreased blood pressure most were vitamin D and several minerals, including calcium, say the two researchers. A second study has also linked these nutrients and lowered blood pressure, they note.
Further analyses of the DASH study show that among several diets tested, one also cut two additional heart-disease risk factors, blood concentrations of folate and homocysteine. That diet, containing three daily servings of dairy foods, was the only one that "produced favorable changes" in the study participants, report Reusser and McCarron.
Robert P. Heaney of Creighton University noted at the 2005 symposium that at least when it comes to building bone, blacks tend to use calcium more efficiently than white people do. In other words, African Americans build stronger bones with smaller inputs of the mineral. However, since bone is far from the only tissue that benefits from calcium, even black people with healthy bones can't assume they're getting sufficient calcium. Indeed, said Heaney, a system within a black person's body that protects bones even when calcium intake is low may actually increase that individual's risk of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes
