DescriptionDo you ever find yourself secretly reading history books under your covers at night? Do you watch The History Channel for fun, but quickly change the channel when someone comes home? You're not alone, my friend. There is hope. And that hope lies in Williamsburg, Virginia, a place where history nerds roam the streets like normal people. A place where no one needs to keep quiet about their George Washington shrine or their penchant for old fashion taverns and colonial clothing. There's a reason Williamsburg, Virginia's official website is www.history.org. This places is like a living, breathing history channel. America's history was literally written on these streets, streets where you just might spot George Washington still wandering about. Williamsburg is frozen in time and much of it exists how it once was, so that the historically-inclined can get off their couch and actually experience life in the 18th century at the largest outdoor living history museum in the United States. Sure, you can leave town and visit nearby Busch Gardens Amusement Park or Water Country USA or stay at a modern hotel, but with Colonial inns to reside in and taverns serving food--not to mention beer by the pints--why would you want to be anywhere else?
A lot of history buffs come here. A lot of families with kids too. And after they get their fill of history, they can go to Busch Gardens which is really fun or they can go shopping at the outlet stores. Day excursions to Richmond or the Virginia Beach area is just a short trip away.

The Epic Battle of Nature versus Nurture at Its Core
Prior to the discovery of genetic's mechanisms of passing family traits, humans from the beginning of time have recognized that children carry characteristics of their parents. However, they simultaneously recognized that the chip off the old block sometimes fell further from the block than others. At some point, the headline "Nature versus Nurture" offered good and bad natured debate as geneticists and social scientists argued over whether genes or the environment played a larger role in a person's final work.

Question Time with Oxi Fresh!
We've given a lot of tips about carpet cleaning, what it means to be a green carpet cleaner, talked about Oxi Fresh, and given you pointers on a lot of different topics, but now we wanted to do a Q&A. Here are some general questions we wanted to answer, but if you have question, post them below and we'll answer it in the next post.
Q: How do stains actually stain? In other words, why do they stick to the carpet?
A: Good question. Staining substances are made of chemical chains with "loose ends" which are attracted to different kinds of "loose ends" generally not found in the staining material. This is good for your coffee, or it would congeal in the cup, but bad for your carpet, because it's got plenty of the right type of "loose ends." When you spill, the chemical's "loose ends" latch onto the carpet's "loose ends" and form a powerful bonds. That's how many stains are formed.
Q:How do vacuums work?
A: Air naturally seeks to equalize the air pressure in an area. Vacuums capitalize on this by creating an area of low pressure inside the vacuum, via electric fans. The fans rapidly push air out of the vacuum, creating an area of extreme low pressure. Air flows into the vacuum in order to equalize the pressure, creating the necessary suction. That's why vacuums don't work as effectively when the bag or container begins to fill – the air flow is restricted, preventing the formation of an extreme low pressure area.
Q: What should I walk on my carpet with? Bare feet, socks, or shoes?
A: This is an easy one – socks. Bare feet means skin on the carpet and skin releases oils and dead skin cells. Shoes may look clean, but bits of dirt, oils, and other gunk are always stuck to them. You can wear shoes you only use inside, like a pair of slippers. Your best bet? Clean socks.
Q: You say that carpets that don't get carpet cleaning services have a shorter lifespan. How so?
A: There are several reasons. First, the longer you leave staining materials in a carpet, the more firmly they set. The bonds I mentioned before strengthen over time and, eventually, become nigh unbreakable. Second, the chemicals in some staining materials will actually break down the carpet fibers. Third, even easily removed materials will, over time, be ground deeply into the carpet fibers making complete removal impossible. Fourth, stress on the carpet is cumulative. If the first three problems above are occurring, the carpet fibers will simply fray more quickly.
Hopefully this answered some of your questions, but post more below so we can get to them on Wednesday!

Pinched Nerve in the Foot
Rahul Thadani
Oct 30, 2018
There are hundreds of nerves running through the foot, and if you experience a pinched nerve in the foot, there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about. This can be treated easily, if you spot the problem early.
This condition is also known as neuroma, and it can get quite discomforting, if one does not know what the exact cause of the problem is. Since there is no external trauma or wound, it will leave the affected individual perplexed and confused for some time, before he realizes what is really wrong.
The pain usually occurs in the area between the toes, and it can get very painful indeed. This occurs as a direct result of the compression of the nerves in that area, and not due to any kind of growth on the nerve. The sensation that we get when our leg or our arm 'falls asleep', is one of the signs that we have a pinched nerve in our foot, or in the arm.
This condition also arises when some external tissue or muscle presses against the nerve. This is something that can happen at any moment in time. Many people would often mistake this pain for a cramp, but people who have experienced this condition before, will know better.
There are many different reasons that lead to the onset of this condition, and almost all of them are directly related to some form of physical or strenuous activity. It is very common to get a pinched nerve from running, exercising, and stretching as well.
Excess stretching of the foot may lead to this condition, due to compression and constriction of the nerve. Some ailment affecting the body joints, an external force applied on the foot, or repetitive motions can lead to this condition.
The most obvious of all symptoms is the excruciating pain felt in the region involved. This pain will be greater when the individual wears shoes, or may suddenly appear when the foot turns suddenly, or puts some weight on it. All these signs, along with numbness in foot, are clear indicators that the individual is suffering from a neuroma.
In most cases though, the numbness is the only sign of this condition. We commonly assume that this occurs because the blood flow to that limb has been obstructed, but the reality is that, the numbness occurs as a direct result of a pinched nerve. Tingling in hands and feet is a common occurrence that everyone experiences.
Many people mistakenly think that a neuroma refers to a nerve tumor, this is because the symptoms of a nerve tumor are similar in nature. But you must remember that they are completely different conditions.
Relief and Treatment
To get instant relief from the pain, one needs to stop whatever strenuous activity that is being carried out, and rub the area where the pain is occurring. If there is no pain and only numbness, then simply shaking the limb about, for some time, will solve the problem. To prevent the problem, wear shoes that are comfortable and suit your foot type.
If the problem is a recurring one, then you need to visit a podiatrist who will take a look at the condition, and suggest the most suitable form of treatment. The earlier the condition is diagnosed, the easier it will be to treat.
Depending on the severity of the condition, the specialist may recommend padding and taping to support the foot, orthotic devices; exercises, medication to ease the pain, or some form of surgery to fix the problem permanently. Carefully assess your options and make a decision. Ask the specialist doubts about your condition, before making your choice.
Many people get a pinched nerve from time to time, so there is no need to be alarmed about this condition. The pain and the numbness may get a bit troublesome at times, but with the right approach you can get rid of this problem.

text: Hi Everyone. We have been enjoying our 1946 10-4 almost daily for the last few months. I started to notice that she would struggle to start. I would pull the plugs and they would be fouled with oil and unburnt fuel. I would leave the plugs out for about ten minutes and then it would start. This problem would get progressively worse with more oil and fuel. It now won't start. I'm fairly new to these cars, pretty sure there is no stem valves but I could be wrong? Any advice?

Words to guide, inspire and entertain
Horse Corn
When my husband and I were young, we were unemployed for more than a year. We also still could sleep on the ground, drive all day, eat anything… ah well. This is likely why I ache so much now.
We traveled the country, everywhere but the Deep South, and having survived a very surreal 3-day run through Indiana, Iowa, and Illinois, came into the purple hills of Nebraska. Who knew that the Midwest was hiding that gem in the middle of all that beige? Max was driver and I was map-reader, which gave me the job of finding stopping spots for the night. In Maxwell, Nebraska, there was a horse ranch that advertised a wide, grassy campground and trail rides into Indian burial mounds. It seemed perfect to me, although Max was doubtful of the horses.
The owner's name was Les Beebe, and he had a thousand acres and four teeth. He was reserved when we met him, since we were Easterners, until Max said 'my name is Max, and I'm pleased to meet you', stuck out a hand, which Les grinned and shook, and we were no longer sleazy people from Jersey. He said, 'you know, I had some other folks from New Jersey here last year. Found 'em in my cornfield stealing corn. I'd have give it to 'em if they asked. Corn's nearly free anyhow. But these poor thieving souls didn't even know that they was stealing horse corn! You can't eat that. Now if they had asked I'd have give 'em sweet corn, and not chased 'em off. What's with you Easterners anyhow? They don't even know enough to stake down a tent. Last folks I got here from the East set up a tent in a field and went walking; tent blew away directly.'
The hills were purple and the fields were green, we were camped in a tent in a herd of camper-trailers, we'd had a hot shower and some dinner, and I was thinking about those fools in the corn, sneaking around. It still makes me giggle.
We had also, incidentally, staked down our tent.

We are just a small group of family and friends who share the same mission and passion in trying to make a difference in the lives of the poorest of the poor children in the Philippines.
Project PEARLS is founded by Melissa Villa and daughter, Francesca in 2008. Project PEARLS was established initially to help the daughters of Melissa's childhood friend, Tina who is deaf and mute. When Francesca met Tina and her daughters, Luz and Desiree, she was touched not only by their sad fate but also by their eagerness about going to school. Francesca promised she will help them with their school needs.
Tina and daughters are living in the slums in Caloocan City; because Tina only washes clothes for others as a source of living, her eldest daughter, Desiree hasn't been attending school. At 15, Desiree was only able to finish 4th grade. While her youngest, Luz (bless her heart) is very eager and excited about getting a good education. Unfortunately, Desiree is not as motivated as Luz about getting educated and totally quit attending school. Luz is still a Project PEARLS scholar and still loving school!
Born and raised in Caloocan City, Melissa has seen urban poverty in the Metropolitan Manila. She is now currently living in San Francisco Bay area and realized how a small portion of her income in dollars can go along way in helping other children like Luz.
Francesca is currently a sophomore in San Jose State University majoring in Global Studies and minoring in Journalism.
Since Project PEARLS was established, Melissa and Francesca, with the help of Project PEARLS' dedicated volunteers and donors, have been putting a smile in hundreds of children's faces through the different outreach programs of Project PEARLS.
Without these dedicated and hard working volunteers, Project PEARLS will just remain a dream. Not only they get their outreach jobs done, but they are exceptionally compassionate and passionate about helping these underprivileged children to have better lives.
Our mission is to simply help these underprivileged children in the Philippines. Our priority is to heal and nourish them first - their young and fragile minds, bodies and souls. Through our different outreach programs, we are hoping we can give them PEACE, EDUCATION, ASPIRATION, RESPECT, LOVE, SMILE.
Hundreds of malnourished children living in Ulingan are facing starvation on a daily basis. Maybe someday the new Philippine Government will help them by putting together a nutrition and health care program. But their precious lives are at stake!
And someday is not an option; waiting for the government to help is not an option. Our mission to feed and nourish these children is URGENT!

GLENDALE, Ariz. (February 6, 2016) - RCH Soaring Eagle /Jimmy John's/Suzuki Factory Racing's Ken Roczen captured his first win of the 2016 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, at the first-ever race from University of Phoenix Stadium in front of 53,055 fans. GEICO Honda's Christian Craig, who came out of retirement to race this year, won the first Western Regional 250SX Class race of his career.
BTO Sports/WPS/KTM's Davi Millsaps won his second SupercrossLive.com Holeshot Award before Roczen passed him for the lead on the opening lap. Monster Energy Kawasaki's Eli Tomac, who started fourth, took over third place on the opening lap and advanced to second place on Lap 2, dropping Millsaps to third.
Team Honda HRC's Cole Seely passed Millsaps for third on Lap 4. Dungey, who started in 10th place and positioned himself in the top five on Lap 3, moved around Seely for third on Lap 5 when the Honda rider stalled his bike. On Lap 15 Dungey passed Tomac for second, where he would eventually finish.
Roczen took the checkered flag over four seconds ahead of Dungey, while Tomac held on for third place.
Roczen now has five wins on his career, winning two each of his first two seasons in the 450SX Class. It was his first win since the second race in Anaheim in January of the 2015 season, 18 races ago. Roczen missed the final eight races of last season with injury.
"We have been working really hard and it paid off," said Roczen. "This was a tough track tonight. We got the job done."
Despite having his three-race win streak come to an end, Dungey's podium streak dating back to last season when he won the 450SX Class title now sits at 21 races. That's also the same points advantage he now holds over Roczen in the championship standings.
"I made some good, clean passes after that bad start," said Dungey. "I made passes where I could and had a great race."
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Jason Anderson, who finished fourth, sits third in points, 26 points behind Dungey.
In the Western Regional 250SX Class Main Event, GEICO Honda's Jimmy DeCotis picked up his second SupercrossLive.com Holeshot Award of the year, leading his teammate Craig through the first turn. Craig made the pass for lead shortly thereafter. Defending Western Regional 250SX Class Champion Cooper Webb, who rides for the Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha, started in seventh and made his way into the top three by the second lap and then moved into second place on Lap 3.
Points leader and last week's winner Joey Savatgy put his Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki into third place on Lap 5 after starting eighth. On Lap 9 while attempting a pass for the lead, Webb crashed but did not lose any positions, remounting right in front of Savatgy.
Craig crossed the line nearly three seconds ahead of Webb to join the Monster Energy Supercross win ranks with his dad, Mike Craig. Webb finished second, rebounding from a career-worst 21st-place finish last weekend, with Savatgy third.
"To come out of retirement and get my first win ever is amazing," said Craig, who last raced full time in 2013. "On the last lap the crowd was so loud; it was awesome."
"I didn't get a great start so I was playing catch up," said Webb. "Then I crashed and threw away any hopes of getting the win."
Webb and Savatgy now share the points lead at 98. Craig moved into third place, 11 points out of the lead.
Action resumes next Saturday night with the second Monster Energy Supercross race at San Diego's Petco Park on Saturday, February 13.

Talk about annoying. About two weeks ago, our LG washer started giving a tE error code and refusing to complete the current cycle. After realizing that this was due to a problem with the thermistor, we decided to call in a professional to fix it.
When it rains it pours… This morning, our LG Tromm front-loading washer issued another series of beeps indicating an error. This time, however, it wasn't the tE error code that we've grown accustomed to. Instead, it was an OE error code.
My wife recently heard a funny chime from our LG Tromm front-loading washer. When she went to the laundry room, it was reporting error code tE. The manual instructed her to unplug the washer and call for service.
While on our end-of-summer vacation, we noticed a crack in our windshield. When we spotted it, we were about halfway into a six hour drive to the beach, so there wasn't much we could do other than watch it grow – and grow!
With four boys in the house, we experience our fair share of clogged toilets. I've thus become something of an expert when it comes to unclogging a toilet. Having just tackled another "job" the other night, I thought I'd write up a few tips while things are still fresh in my mind.
I wrote previously about repairing a leaky Delta shower head, so I thought I'd follow that up with one of this weekend's projects… Fixing the leaky faucet in our powder room sink. Once again, I've created a pictorial walkthrough.
A few weeks ago, I jumped in the shower and was greeted with cold water. I was late, so I showered as quickly as possible, dried off, and got dressed. We have an electric water heater, so I stopped to check our electric panel before rushing out the door. Sure enough, the water heater had tripped the circuit breaker.
The other day when I got out of bed, I removed my retainer and slipped it in the pocket of my sweat pants. Not smart, I know, but it is what it is. Unfortunately, I later left my sweats on the floor, and someone (probably me) stepped on them, thus breaking my retainer. Never one to take the easy way out, I fixed it myself.

This one involves elder care and a Medicare program to keep seniors out of nursing homes.
But this is no linoleum-floored community center reeking of bleach. Instead, it's one of eight vanguard centers owned by InnovAge, a company based in Denver with ambitious plans. With the support of private equity money, InnovAge aims to aggressively expand a little-known Medicare program that will pay to keep older and disabled Americans out of nursing homes.Already one year in and some are calling for reduced services because expenses cut into profits, and if there are no profits why bother caring for a bunch of geezers. It is sad to see for profits allowed into the program, no good has ever come from commercialization of healthcare. But you can bet on this opening upthe way for a lot of fraud.
Until recently, only nonprofits were allowed to run programs like these. But a year ago, the government flipped the switch, opening the program to for-profit companies as well, ending one of the last remaining holdouts to commercialism in health care. The hope is that the profit motive will expand the services faster.
Hanging over all the promise, though, is the question of whether for-profit companies are well-suited to this line of work, long the province of nonprofit do-gooders. Critics point out that the business of caring for poor and frail people is marred with abuse. Already, new ideas for lowering the cost of the program have started circulating. In Silicon Valley, for example, some eager entrepreneurs are pushing plans that call for a higher reliance on video calls instead of in-face doctor visits.
The business appeal is simple: A baby boom-propelled surge in government health care spending is coming. Medicare enrollment is expected to grow by 30 million people in the next two decades, and many of those people are potential future clients. Adding to the allure are hefty profit margins for programs like these — as high as 15 percent, compared with an average of 2 percent among nursing homes — and geographic monopolies that are all but guaranteed by state Medicaid agencies to ensure the solvency of providers.
The goal of the program, known as PACE, or the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, is to help frail, older Americans live longer and more happily in their own homes, by providing comprehensive medical care and intensive social support. It also promises to save Medicare and Medicaid millions of dollars by keeping those people out of nursing homes.
Several private equity firms, venture capitalists and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have jumped into the niche. F-Prime Capital Partners, a former Fidelity Biosciences group, provided seed funding for a PACE-related start-up, as have well-regarded angel investors like Amir Dan Rubin, the former Stanford Health Care president, and Michael Zubkoff, a Dartmouth health care economist.
And no company has moved with more tenacity than InnovAge. Last year, the company overcame protests from watchdog groups to convert from a nonprofit organization to a for-profit business in Colorado. And in May, InnovAge received $196 million in backing — the largest investment in a PACE business since the rule change was made — from Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, a private equity firm with $10 billion in assets under management.
"For years we were pariahs, and no one wanted anything to do with us," said Julie Reiskin, executive director of the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition, a nonprofit group that advocates for people with disabilities, many of whom are eligible for PACE.
"Now that there's money involved," Ms. Reiskin said, "everyone is all interested."
Even the program's supporters acknowledge that the movement needs fresh momentum. But they worry that commercial operators will tarnish their image in the same way many for-profits eroded trust in hospice care and nursing homes.

The trailer features a reunion for Thor: Ragnarok Stars
Men in Black International is a spinoff of the original Men in Black films, neither Will Smith nor Tommy Lee Jones makes an appearance in the trailer however there is a reference to the two in a painting seen in the trailer. Men in Black International follows Chris Hemsworth's Agent H and Tessa Thompson's Agent M as they head to London, already a key point in why this is a spin-off as the action is based outside of the United States. The film also sees the return of Emma Thompson, who reprises her role as Agent O from Men in Black 3.
To be perfectly honest, with all these reboots, live-action remakes coming in 2019 this spinoff of Men in Black looks fresh and with this cast, we are in for one hell of a cosmic experience.
Men in Black International is set to hit theaters on 14 June 2019.
MIB: International Details
The Men in Black have always protected the Earth from the scum of the universe. In this new adventure, they tackle their biggest, most global threat to date: a mole in the Men in Black organisation.

Using the principle of superposition, Egyptian artist Muhammed Salah offers a new way to discover his country through stencils.
Egypt, the "gift of the Nile" of which Herodotus spoke, has kept intact its power of fascination and its extraordinary ability to arouse the imagination. From prehistoric times, the immense, lonely oasis of the river crossing the desert attracted a people who hatched, within a few generations, an extraordinarily advanced and complex civilization.
By mixing drawings and photographs, the project of this designer in an advertising agency centered on the design of different women's outfits cut in the form of stencils that allow a glimpse to several places emblematic of Egypt.
This fresh and colorful series can be declined for other destinations. You may be able to draw inspiration this summer during your holidays.

Paul Dunne feels his game is in "good shape" heading into the weekend at the Spanish Open.
The Wicklow native has gone into the clubhouse with a three-shot lead on 13-under par.
He hit nine birdies today as he carded a round of 65.
Dunne is hopeful he can build on that performance tomorrow.
"Yeah, it was a pretty steady day.
"As seven under's go I probably left a few out there. I also got a few puts to go so I think we're always a bit like that.
"(My) game is in good shape, feeling good. I see a lot of birdies around this course if the weather stays like this.
"Hopefully I can make them."
Meanwhile, Gavin Moynihan is in a tie for 135th at the moment.
He's just finishing off the front nine and lies on 2-over par.

Needs help to get my lab up and running "Advanced Technology Labs
Hi everyone,
I'm having a hard time to get my lab up and running. I'm using GNS3 to do my lab. I've mock up Advanced Technology Labs With Addressing Diagram. Currently, i'm doing lab Routing to NBMA Interfaces
Configure R1 and R2 with IPv4 default routes through the DMVPN cloud with a next-hop of R5.
- Ensure that the route is valid as long as the Tunnel interface is in the UP state.
- Configure R5 with IPv4 static routes for R1's and R2's Loopback0 prefixes through the DMPVN cloud.
- Ensure that R1, R2, and R5 can all ping each other's Loopback0 interfaces.
My question is, do I need to install initial configuration file before doing my lap? At this point in my study, I have limited knowledge of DMVPN technology.
In the Rack rental there is DMVPN cloud. Can I use a switch or a hub to simulate a DMVPN cloud.
Thank you all in advance for your help.
I think before DMVPN you need connectivity between r1 to r5 on vlan 100 which is the underlay (169.254.100.x) . I'm not able to ping r5 (hub) to other spokes (r1,r2, r3, r4). I have tested out on GNS3 by shutdown all hub and spokes DMVPN tunnels. and I was able ping from hubs underlay ip address to other spokes underlay ip address.
I think the cause of the issue is on the breakout switch.
Thanks for the help @Martinl. It works after I added the vlans. I was using GNS3 for Advanced Technologies Lab (first go around). As you know, not all lab commands are supported. Second ago around for Advanced Technologies Lab, I want to have the real cisco gear plus GNS3 does not have flash. Any how, again thanks for the help..

Do you know that other than the car engine, your air-conditioner also need regular check and maintenance? Actually, there are a few parts that need to be checked to ensure that the air conditioner is in a good condition. Following are the 4 tips on car air conditioner maintenance:
i Once a month, check for any air conditioner leakage by pouring soapy water to the air conditioner pipe. If bubbles seem to appear along the pipe, there is a possibility of leakage. This would help to maintain the level of comfort of the air conditioner.
ii Make sure that the air conditioner is not switch on immediately every time you start your engine. Let the engine heat up for 2-3 minutes before switching on the air conditioner. If possible, wait another 2-3 minutes before beginning you journey.
iii Make sure that the air conditioner belt section is always checked to ensure that it is tighten as loose belt can damage the compressor.
iv Make sure that you switch off the air conditioner before turning off the engine.
In ensuring that your trips are comfortable, especially on long journeys, regular maintenance and service of the air conditioner is mandatory. Among the benefits when you service your car according to the schedule are as follows:
1) To prolong the life span of the parts
2) A more refreshing environment in the car
3) Provide comfort during the drive
4) Ensuring clean supply of air

Welcome to Bet Labs 2017 NFL preview series where we will look at all eight of the league's divisions. As part of the preview, we will highlight each team's chances of winning their respective division and take a look at their season win total.
To create our projections, we simulated the 2017 NFL season 10,000 times using team projections and adjusting for Strength of Schedule.
Previous division previews: NFC East, AFC East, NFC North, AFC North, NFC West, AFC West, NFC South and today the AFC South.
Tennessee Titans
2016 Record: 9-7
Home Games: DET, SD, CHI, KC, PIT
Away Games: DEN, GB, NYJ, MIN, OAK
The Titans took a big step forward last year winning nine games, it was the team's first winning season since 2011. Tennessee finished the year 13th in DVOA, well ahead of its division rivals (IND 24th, JAX 26th, HOU 29th) but lost the AFC South crown to the Texans on a tiebreaker.
Tennessee hasn't won the division since 2008 but that ends this year. Marcus Mariota should continue to improve in his third year in the league. The team used a first round pick on receiver Corey Davis to give their young quarterback a much-needed No. 1 target. The Titans then used their second 1st Round selection to take corner Adoree' Jackson. Jackson, plus the signing of Logan Ryan should bolster the team's maligned secondary.
It'll be a tight race but after 10,000 simulations the Titans win the AFC South 37.0% of the time. The team's most likely record is 9-7. The season win total for Mike Mularkey's team is 8.5. There is a 54.9% chance the team wins 9 or more games and a 45.1% chance it finishes 8-8 or worse. There is no value betting the team's over/under.
Indianapolis Colts
2016 Record: 8-8
Home Games: AZ, CLE, SF, PIT, DEN
Away Games: LAR, SEA, CIN, BUF, BAL
2016 was another wasted season for the Colts who missed the playoffs for a second straight year, the first time that had happened since 1997-98. The only positive was the return to form of Andrew Luck. The star quarterback rebounded after an injury filled 2015 campaign to complete 63.5% of his passes for 4,240 yards and 31 touchdowns. Unfortunately for Luck he got little support from his teammates.
The defense was 4th worst by DVOA and allowed 382.9 yards per game. New GM Chris Ballard has spent much of the offseason including draft picks and free agent signings to improve his defensive unit. The moves might work out but the team has some ways to go to be competent. Another issue that could slow the Colts down is the offensive line. Luck was the second most sacked quarterback in the league and according to Pro Football Focus was pressured on 44.4% of his dropbacks, third most in the NFL.
Luck will likely be brilliant once again this fall but without an offensive line to protect him and a defense that can keep other teams off the field, Indy's upside is limited. The Colts are projected to finish 8-8 for a third straight year.
The team's win total is set at 8.5 games. There is a 52.0% chance Luck and crew win 8 or fewer games. At +105 odds there is value betting the UNDER.
Houston Texans
2016 Record: 9-7
Home Games: KC, CLE, AZ, SF, PIT
Away Games: CIN, NE, SEA, LAR, BAL
The Texans finished 2016 with a 9-7 record for a third year in a row but that was good enough to repeat as division champs. Houston also swept Indy for the first time and managed to do so with poor quarterback play (15 TDs, 16 INTs) and with superstar J.J. Watt out for most of the year.
The Texans were able to jettison Brock Osweiler before the draft and then traded up to take Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson. You can criticize the front office for what it gave up getting Watson but he should be an upgrade over Osweiler. The return of Watt is a bonus for a defense that ranked 7th in DVOA.
The defense will be one of the best in the league once again but a question mark at the quarterback makes it hard to project the team for big things. Houston also went 8-2 in games decided by seven points or less, a stat that tends to regress to the mean from season to season.
The season win total for the squad is 8.5, just like the Titans and Colts. Houston's most likely record in our simulations is 8-8. There is a 61.3% chance the Texans wins 8 or fewer games giving value to the UNDER (+100).

Jacksonville Jaguars
2016 Record: 3-13
Home Games: BAL, LAR, CIN, LAC, SEA
Away Games: NYJ, PIT, CLE, AZ, SF
Expectations were high for Jacksonville entering the 2016 season. In his second year Blake Bortles threw for 4,428 yards and 35 touchdowns. The team was stacked with young talent and an improving defense. The defense took a step forward finishing 13th in DVOA but Bortles regressed and the offense averaged 19.9 points per game (25th in the NFL). The team won five or fewer games for a sixth straight year.
The front office doubled down on improving the defense by signing Calais Campbell, A.J. Bouye and Barry Church, this has the makings of a top 5 unit. The downside, the offensive line is a question mark and the team spent the fourth pick on Leonard Fournette who, like the rest of the offense, could struggle if the o-line doesn't hold up.
The Jags haven't had a winning season or made the playoffs since 2007, that trend will continue in 2017. Jacksonville's win total is listed at 6.5 but there is a 57.8% chance they win seven or more games. The team's most likely record is 7-9 and there is value betting the OVER (-120).
AFC South Division Odds
Tennessee, Indy and Houston all have win totals of 8.5. The oddsmakers aren't sure who will win this division. The simulations are close as well but the Titans come out on top. There is value backing Mariota and crew +215.

We show that n-manifolds with a lower volume bound v and upper diameter D bound whose curvature operator is bounded below by −ε(n,v,D) also admit metrics with nonnegative curvature operator.

It's easy to forget you're in a multi-family development at Harvest Townhomes from Arbutus. Harvest Townhomes are a contemporary collection of two-storey townhomes in The Meadows - located on Meadows Boulevard - and they boast modern living conveniences with high quality finishes.
Arbutus' home within a home
It's easy to forget you're in a multi-family development at Harvest Townhomes from Arbutus. Harvest Townhomes are a contemporary collection of two-storey townhomes in The Meadows – located on Meadows Boulevard – and they boast modern living conveniences with high quality finishes.
"What's really fantastic about The Harvest is that they will have their very own clubhouse," says Susanne Carrillo.
The Harvest Clubhouse will have a room with a large screen for groups to gather and watch a movie together. There will be a kitchen, change rooms and a gym area, as well. A skating rink will also be added outside in the winter to offer kids and families a chance to have fun without having to travel too far.
"So truly you don't need to leave if you don't want to," says Carrillo. "We are going to have everything here."
Harvest Townhomes is part of a larger development by Arbutus called The Meadows at Rosewood. The Meadows will eventually cover 420 acres and include walking trails, baseball diamonds, and the new Rosewood School.
In addition, Harvest Townhome development is located close to the village-style Meadows Market, where the future Costco and other shops will be located.
The open floor plan lets in a ton of natural light – even in interior units. And ninefoot ceilings lend a feeling of space. The living area is open concept allowing the natural light to flood everywhere.
The living room has tons of built-ins and a fireplace to give the space character, definition, and some handy storage. The design flows and offers plenty of opportunities for homeowners to put their own personality into it.
The kitchen features a large island with eating area, topped with granite or quartz. The cabinetry is sleek with a wood veneer, flat panelled cabinetry in either espresso or white with polished chrome pulls. A ceramic tile backsplash continues the modern look. A stainless steel Frigidaire appliance package includes Energy Star rated side-byside fridge, ceramic cooktop, large capacity oven, dishwasher and over-the-range microwave.
Wide-plank wood-grain, laminate flooring through the living room, dining and kitchen offers durability and style.
The bathrooms continue the high quality finishes buyers have come to appreciate, such as granite or quartz countertop, Kohler undermount sink, lever faucets, large porcelain tile floors, and dual-flush toilets.
There is also a deck off the kitchen that is large enough to entertain guests, when not enjoying the clubhouse facilities.
Each unit has a one or two-car attached garage. There are three layouts to choose from ranging from 1,198 square feet with three bedrooms to 1,613 square feet with four bedrooms.
To check out the Harvest Townhomes visit the showhome on Meadows Boulevard Tuesday through Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m.; or weekends and holidays from 1 to 5 p.m.

|Beekeeper Lynn Wilson presents honeybee awareness
and ways of "bringing nature home"
at the DCGC 2015 Joint Meeting.
Editor's Note: The following is a transcript of the presentation made by Beekeeper Lynn S. Wilson at the 2015 Joint Meeting of the Durham Council of Garden Clubs. Within her remarks you will find excellent recommendations for plants that attract honeybees, literature on the philosophy of beekeeping, contact persons at the Durham Beekeepers Association and an overall ecological call to bloom and promote bee populations across North Carolina and the US.
Good resources for more of your adventures with honey bees and native pollinators ...
Call to Blooms
By Lynn S. Wilson
Journeyman Beekeeper, Secretary for the Person County Beekeepers Association and volunteer interpreter at the NC Zoo Bee Exhibit
Thank you for your concern about bees, and I thank your National Garden Club website for introducing me to Doug Tallamy's book, Bringing Nature Home. Doug Tallamy has brought me one step closer to going completely wild and natural.
Now what motivated a retired Records Manager for Durham Public Schools to search for endless adventure in honey bee hives? I like honey and I like garden-fresh food. But there was something else. I wanted to be a better observer of the natural world. There's nothing like having 50,000 stinging critters in your yard to make you watch where you step ... especially when the dandelions and clover are blooming!
Let me share three visions and a conundrum.
VISION ONE. NC State Entomologist Dr. John Ambrose died recently but he had already planted his vision: Two honey bee hives in every back yard.
Okay, Dr. Ambrose, how are we going to keep that many honey bees healthy? Beekeepers are a lot like gardeners and doctors ... we are learning that we need to keep our focus on healthy bodies, healthy bees and healthy plants ... in other words ... preventative medicine instead of pills and pest management. You know that most sick plants are not suffering from insects or disease. Most problems result from things like overwatering or drought or winter damage. When bees are well-fed they can fight off the Varroa mites, the Small Hive Beetles, and the viruses carried by the mites. When bees have a natural diet of pollen and nectar they can even withstand pesticides better. How many blossoms do bees need to get the essential pollen and nectar?
|Flight Path raised over $18K on Kickstarter.com
to create a honeybee sanctuary at Seattle's Sea-Tac airport.
Flight Path raises healthy local bees on neglected airport land
and presents a year-long art & education exhibit for 34M people.
VISION TWO. The second vision comes from Dr. Marla Spivak of the University of Minnesota. Dr. Spivak recommends that we plant ONE acre of bee forage for every honey bee colony. Now how many urban window boxes do we need to fill up to provide an acre ? But, wait a minute! What if we can get the RDU Airport, to plant bee forage as Chicago O'Hare, Seattle's Sea-Tac and Lambert St. Louis have already done. What about all that brown hedge row under powerlines ... couldn't we plant bee forage there instead of using herbicides? What about all those roadside beautification projects that Garden Clubs and NC DOT sponsor? Are all of those plants good bee forage? Is the American Tobacco Trail lined with bee forage? Are we thinking of our street trees as summer cooling, water storage, carbon offsets AND pollinator forage? And, good news, planting just one deciduous tree with a 30-foot wide canopy offers the equivalent of an acre of forage.
VISION THREE. The third vision is Doug Tallamy's vision... Bring Nature Home. Tallamy says that humans have taken all but about THREE TO FIVE PERCENT of the wild natural spaces in the Lower 48. We can bring nature back by bringing it to our own backyards. The test is not JUST whether there are birds and bees in your backyard, but can they REPRODUCE there?
What brings LIFE to a landscape? Tallamy asks. Can we learn to observe what is happening in our own backyards and relate it to the ecological balance that keeps air in our lungs, water in our cups, and food on our plates? Our garden paths need to get us where we're going AND provoke us to watch more closely, ask more questions, and contemplate the dynamic beauty of interdependence.
CONUNDRUM. That brings me to my conundrum. Honey bees are NOT native bees. Over 4000 species of indigenous bees pollinated North American plants for millions of years before the arrival of the honey bee 400 years ago. Tallamy says that we need to plant natives that co-evolved with our native bees. So what do we plant to help both? How do the honey bees affect the native bees?
- There is some evidence that honey bees cause native bees to forage less efficiently, but no evidence yet that this has reduced native bee populations.
- There is some evidence that exotic bees prefer exotic flowers which gives those flowers ... which may be serious weeds... a competitive advantage.
- And at least ONE honey bee virus has jumped to native bumble bees.
- In Europe there is still a NATIVE honey bee but large scale migratory beekeeping and trading in queen bees has exposed the NATIVE honey bee to inbreeding...leading to the loss of genetic traits shaped by natural selection. The NATIVE honey bees are mating with commercially-managed bees reducing the gene pool.
VISIT TO THE HIVE. When I start thinking about something this complicated, I start checking the weather. Would this be a good time to inspect the hive?
NO. The temperature in Hurdle Mills hasn't been over 45 degrees in about a week. The bees cluster when the temperatures stay that cold. Imagine a 5-7 inch ball of bees. The ones on the inside of the cluster SHIVER to generate heat and then move to the outside to serve as INSULATION. They don't even take bathroom breaks. We're talking about some very grumpy bees. More bad news for us is that it's still cloudy/rainy ... so even if those bees come out briefly for CLEANSING RUNS ... the foragers will still be in the hive. WE would not be welcome.
But let's walk out into my bee yard. While we're there, picture your own landscape... and watch your step. Most bee forage is in the trees. Yesterday my bees were in the flowering apricot and the red maples. Then my fruit trees, and the redbuds, hollies, black locust and by mid-April ... tulip poplars, will flower. The tulip poplars are the best nectar source for our Piedmont bees. When the tulip poplars bloom, beekeepers say the honey flow has started. But March is one time of year when bees may also be on the ground. What we're looking for today are dandelions and red dead nettle.
|Liriodendron tulipifera (tulip trees) are the best source
of honeybee nectar in the Piedmont of North Carolina.
But you've been thinking about your own landscape. Is there food for bees from March through the first killing frost? If you plant mahonia, or flowering apricot or first-breath-of-spring you'll give the honey bees some forage on sunny winter days when the temperatures climb above 55 degrees and they break cluster. But, better than those exotics, plant a native red maple to provide some forage as early as February. I've still got one Golden Rain Tree because there's a forage dearth in late summer before the goldenrods and asters bloom ... but I'm digging up those little Golden Rain Tree seedlings right and left. Now what pesticides do you use? What time of day do you apply pesticides ... while bees are out foraging ... or earlier or later?
Bumble bees and honey bees enjoy the herbs. They like the bee balm, the borage, thyme and the mints, especially mountain mint. And as soon as I dig up the beets and potatoes, I plant cover cops like buckwheat. ALL the bees love it.
I planted sourwoods thinking about sourwood honey but then I found out that the mountain sourwoods produce more and better quality nectar than our Piedmont sourwoods. Gallberry hollies are planted as a windbreak on the northwest side of my hive, but they're a good forage source, too.
Now, what to plant? Plant natives, plant trees, plant herbs and plant food for yourself. Why do I say, plant food for yourself?
Research now shows that urban areas may be friendlier places for honey bees than farm country. City folks, it seems, are doing a better job of tolerating a few bugs, realizing that most bugs are beneficial and limiting pesticide use. City folks are planting a wider variety of flowers than the farmers whose huge monocultures give bees something to eat two weeks out of the year ... and then the bees have to be moved quickly before orchards and fields are sprayed. The squash and blueberry bushes that you plant for yourself are likely to provide good forage for native bees and honey bees. And let some of that arugula and mustard flower. The bees willl like that too. Just changing a few habits will contribute to the success of our native bees and our honey bees.
Will the Garden Council be at the table with Durham's new Food Council? That Council is already imagining front yard gardens throughout the City.
As a beekeeper, my premise is that everything I do for honey bees will also help our native bees, but I'll try to keep my eyes open to the evidence. How are my honeybees impacting the native bees? I hope you are ready to SHARE your landscape with bees and help bring nature home.
Now let me introduce you to some Durham beekeepers who would like to partner with you... You know the plants and they know the bees. They can partner with you to make Durham an even friendlier place for bees. Maybe you will consider working together to help Durham become Bee City USA.
- Liz Lindsey is finishing up the last stages of the NC State Beekeepers Association's Master Beekeeper program. She is particularly articulate explaining the various pressures and stresses jeopardizing the honey bees.
- Donna Devanney is one of the founders of the Durham Beekeeper's Association. She keeps bees at Duke Garden, Duke Farm and West Point at the Eno, so she has experience beekeeping in public spaces. She was also an important participant in the 2009 ordinance change allowing beekeeping in Durham.
- At the 2014 July meeting of North Carolina State Beekeepers, I heard a senior from NC State, Leigh-Kathryn Bonner, talk about Bull City Bees ... a model for bringing honeybees to urban areas ... and largest observation hive in North Carolina is now located on the American Tobacco Campus in Durham. I encourage you to visit.
- And visit the NC Zoo's Bee Exhibit too. Other members of NC State Beekeepers and I are volunteer exhibit interpreters one day each month.
Good resources for more of your adventures with honey bees and native pollinators ...

West Nile Virus Channel
Related Channels
West Nile Disease
A potentially serious illness, West Nile disease is commonly found in Africa, West Asia, and the Middle East. Scientists believe that this disease has been occurring in the United States since the early summer of 1999. The virus that causes it is transmitted primarily by mosquitoes and ticks.
Most people infected with West Nile virus (about 80 percent) will not show any symptoms at all. Up to 20 percent of those infected will have flu-like symptoms. About 1 in 150 people will develop severe symptoms. At this time, there is no treatment capable of killing the virus. Therefore, preventing mosquito bites in the first place is the best way to avoid this disease.
(For a closer look at this disease, click West Nile Virus. This article discusses who is most at risk of contracting it, how it is diagnosed, and more.)

When given, map references (i.e. [22/D3] ) are the page number and grid coordinates of the launch point. References are to "Bryan's Sectional Maps of O'ahu", any recent edition.
Ratings & Liability:
Paddle ratings are for average weather and ocean conditions, and are often unscientifically assigned and arbitrary. It is up to each individual to assess the conditions prior to the time of launch in the light of their own experience and ability, and decide whether to go or not. If you decide to go, you must sign the trip roster and read the waiver. No signee, no kayakee.
In the event of a Small Craft Advisory (SCA) or higher wind warning*, the Club-sponsored paddle is officially cancelled. Trip leaders should download a copy of the release/waiver by clicking here for a PDF file you can print.
When tides differ by 2 feet or more, care should be taken while paddling in river mouths and near bay openings (such as Hawaii Kai and Pearl Harbor). Windward-coast tides are approx. 1-1/2 to 2 hrs earlier than Honolulu.
Jellyfish Watches:
for some reason beyond the human ken, local box jellyfish have been noted to swarm on the 9th to 11th days after each full moon.
An all-seeing eye indicates that an aerial photo of the area is available. Hover to see file size - some can be rather large. A blue globe will download a GMZ file, which you can open in a Google Earth window, if you have it installed on your computer (you should definitely have it - it's way cool, and it's free). A down-pointing arrow is a jump-link to a different place on the same page; an out-of-the-box arrow will take you to another page on this site; the same icon with a black border will take you off-site.
Monthly General Meetings are open to the public.
"Steerage Board" meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every second month, except where otherwise noted, at the location given in the schedule. These meetings are for the Officers and Advisory Board members to discuss business and decide future activities for the Club, and they are open to any Club member in good standing who has a Club-related issue to be dealt with outside the forum of the General Meetings. Talk to any Club Officer for details, an agenda, or location directions.
*As broadcast by Radio WBA on VHF weather channels 1 or 2, or announced the night before on commercial television.
