This is an outstanding DVD designed to develop the skills required to be successful at one of the most important positions on the field: the goalie. Coach Lantzy begins the on-field demonstration by outlining the four fundamentals of being an effective goalie: Having a proper stance, understanding arch play, using correct turns, and making the save. Having an outstanding goalie is essential to keeping the ball on the offensive side of the field. Lantzy reveals the secrets to being a complete goalie, including stopping the ball, stick work and ground ball play and communicating with your team to better handle unsettled situations. This DVD can steer you in the right direction to put all the elements together to build better techniques as a goalie. These techniques also involve the five different areas of release that a goalie needs to understand and utilize during various game situations and from several different angles. Lantzy emphasizes the importance of giving the goalie enough time to make sure they are properly warmed up for practice. This DVD will help your goalie realize the importance of their position and the leadership role this position entails. With the addition of this DVD to your collection, you can strengthen the base of your team as a whole by improving the skills of this critical position. 45 minutes. 2006. DVD.

Camfil Farr, the world's leading provider of sustainable air filters and clean air solutions has just released the new CREO (Clean Room design & Energy Optimisation) manual.
The CREO manual outlines the basic theories and calculations for the new software while also providing valuable historic and current information on clean room standards and guidelines commonly utilized in the Life Science & Microelectronic industries.
Another industry first — The CREO software is essentially a marriage of Camfil Farr's well known and frequently used LCC (Life Cycle Cost) Green software along with its clean room design software. The two software programs combine to make a robust planning tool that identifies the best air filter options to optimise clean room filtration and energy consumption. Taking into account the latest international industry norms, the tool also generates complete filter and hardware specifications in a simple, easy-to-use format. The software is ideally suited for companies and end users who operate clean rooms in order to optimise their air filtration needs.
Access to the proprietary CREO software is possible when attendance of certified training has been completed such as this webinar in addition to access approved through a local Camfil Farr office or an authorised Camfil Farr representative.
Remember: These webinars are free to attend and will be available for viewing on-demand after the event with registration if you cannot attend.
Please forward to colleagues that you think might be interested.
Thank you for your time.

Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray was on the practice field Friday, but did not participate, ESPN Dallas reported. The optimistic outlook has Murray back next week.
Murray has missed the last two games with a foot injury, and ESPN Dallas' Todd Archer reports that Murray will miss another. Felix Jones has stepped in, but is dealing with a knee injury himself.
The Cowboys need Murray back ASAP considering Big D's run game is ranked No. 28 in the NFL.
UPDATE: The Cowboys have indeed ruled out Murray for Sunday's game.

Services » Regional Services » River levels and rainfall
LATEST RIVER LEVEL AND FLOW READINGS: View our latest river level and flow readings. Sites are listed alphabetically.
Waikato Regional Council's automated recorder sites constantly check on river levels and rainfall around the region. The information is sent electronically to our Hamilton office, and the information on this website is updated every 3 hours. Information is stated in NZ standard time (no allowance is made for daylight saving). In times of flood this information may get updated more frequently.
Waikato Regional Council has responsibilities for managing flood risk in the Waikato region.
We keep track of river levels to see how quickly rivers are rising during storms,and we have flood warning systems in place to help us manage floods to protect people and their property.
We also need to know how much rain is falling at sites around the region, so we can:
It can take a long time for rain falling in the headwaters of a catchment to reach the lower stretches of a river. This means that people living close to rivers may not know that river levels are going to rise because they have had little rain on their property.
For example, it can take days for water in the Waikato River to travel from the headwaters to Port Waikato. But if land in the catchment is already very wet, then travel times are shortened. On smaller rivers such as the Ohinemuri, travel times can be much shorter, perhaps only hours. Keeping an eye on rainfall upstream helps people manage their flood risk.
In some areas the opposite of flooding causes problems. River levels can fall during long dry periods. Our automated recorder sites alert us when there are low flows, and we may start on-site monitoring of streams in sensitive areas. We need to monitor the amount of water being taken to ensure there is enough water for:
Water can be used for domestic needs or for stock in small amounts as long as there is little effect on water flows. In most other cases, a resource consent is necessary to take water.
People use many rivers in the Waikato region for recreation. Rafters, trout fishers or kayakers are interested in river levels to plan their activities.

Space Telescope Science Institute
Cluster MACS J1206.2-0847 (or MACS 1206 for short) is one of the first targets in a Hubble Space Telescope survey that will allow astronomers to construct the highly detailed dark matter maps of more galaxy clusters than ever before. These maps are being used to test previous but surprising results that suggest that dark matter is more densely packed inside galaxy clusters than some models predict. This might mean that galaxy cluster assembly began earlier than commonly thought. The multiwavelength survey, called the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH), probes, with unparalleled precision, the distribution of dark matter in 25 massive clusters of galaxies. So far, the CLASH team has completed observations of six of the 25 clusters. MACS 1206 lies 4.5 billion light-years from Earth. This image was taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3 in April 2011 through July 2011.

Disasters are a form of collective stress posing an unavoidable threat to people around the world. Disaster losses result from interactions among the natural, social, and built environments, which are becoming increasingly complex. The risk of disaster and people's susceptibility to damage or harm from disasters is represented with the concept of vulnerability. Data from the Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and genocide in Darfur, Sudan, show poor people suffer disproportionately from disasters. Disaster social work intervenes in the social and built environments to reduce vulnerability and prevent or reduce long-term social, health, and mental health problems from disasters.
International Volunteer Service
Benjamin J. Lough
This entry provides a brief historical overview of international volunteer service, along with changes to traditional forms of international service. It presents a general typology for contemporary international-service programs and reviews how these forms differ in practice. Using the limited data available, it provides a demographic snapshot of the scale and prevalence of international volunteer service from the United States and globally. The entry then reviews critical intersections between international service and social work, and describes debates of particular concern to the social worker profession. Finally, the entry outlines important areas for future social work research and practice.
Post-Disaster Recovery Services in Taiwan
Wan-I Lin
The 921 Earthquake in 1999 and Typhoon Morakot in 2009 both brought catastrophic damage to Taiwan. In the aftermath of these two disasters many nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and social workers collaborated with central and local governments to provide post-disaster relief and reconstruction services. Among these, the most important initiative was the launching of a system for providing post-disaster human services, including counseling, education, employment, social welfare, and health care.
Street-Connected Children
Neela Dabir
This article focuses on the long-standing global concern of children who live or work on the street, with developing countries having a larger share of the problem. It reviews the paradigm shift in the way we look at the "street children" phenomenon and the appropriateness of the new terminology, street-connected children. The article maintains that with an increased understanding of different aspects of the life experiences of these children, through research and practice, it is possible to move toward a more precise definition and estimation of the phenomenon. It also elaborates how social work interventions in different parts of the world have demonstrated effective strategies to work with street-connected children and include them in the larger agenda of child protection at the local, national, and global levels.

McObject has announced that Perst, its open source, object-oriented embedded database system, has been successfully ported to Microsoft's Silverlight technology for building rich Web applications. With Perst for .NET, developers using Silverlight can now include database management system (DBMS) features in their rich Web client applications, including adding persistence to this data by storing it on local file systems.
McObject also released a new demo application, showcasing Perst in a Silverlight-based customer relationship management (CRM) system. The demo runs in the user's browser, stores records locally, and takes full advantage of Perst features such as indexes and native full text search to sort, retrieve and write records to the database. Users can launch the application from McObject's site and also download complete, commented source code and documentation.
Data stored in Perst can exceed the storage size limit initially imposed on Silverlight applications, although for security reasons, permission from the Web application user is required for this. Permitting substantial amounts of locally stored data makes Perst a logical choice for Silverlight-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) and other hosted applications that need a database to support users' work on ongoing projects.
Microsoft has also positioned Silverlight as a platform for rich Internet applications on smartphones and other mobile devices. "Perst's strengths " including its small footprint, rich data management features, successful track record in a variety of mobile applications, and freely available source code " give it an edge to become the de facto embedded database system for Silverlight client software targeting mobile devices," McObject CEO Steve Graves said.
"Now that Silverlight 3 supports installation of applications locally on the desktop, we can add the option of caching some data locally, in addition to being a locally installed visualization and interaction layer to cloud-based services, or a rich disconnected gadget. And McObject's Perst embedded database presents a really compelling solution to help with managing the data," said David Chou, an architect at Microsoft.
Released in 2007, Silverlight has rapidly gained a developer following for its ability to provide high quality graphics and multimedia, animation and audio-video playback. The technology centers on the free Silverlight Web browser plug-in. Programmers access this plug-in and create interactive Web applications using tools that are part of, or are compliant with, the Microsoft .NET Framework.
Perst for .NET enables Silverlight database-enabled applications to leverage features including transactions, a flexible and easy-to-use API, multiple database indexes, garbage collection and more. Uses of Perst with Silverlight include client-side caching of application settings and of data for tables, grids and lists in Web forms. With Perst, clients can also store data from unfinished projects that use Silverlight Web applications.

Posted by Jerre Conder on May 04, 2003
One often hears "lightning rod" in describing the attraction of vigorous or violent controversy, as in, for example, "His comments made him a lightning rod for all sorts of vitriolic invective . ". This is interesting only in that the expression derives from the widely held but erroneous belief that a lightning rod is a device designed to attract lightning - ostensibly thereby to save other, more valuable objects in the vicinity.
In fact, a more opposite function obtains: The lightning rod actually drains off static electricity from the object it protects, making it unlikely that enough charge will accumulate to initiate a strike. Think of this: If a lightning rod truly attracted lightning, why on earth would you want to put it on top of your barn? Wouldn't it be better to place it off somewhere by itself - close but out of harm's way, where it could "attract" lightning without burning down the barn?
So taken literally, the example above ("His comments .") should mean that the individual's comments served to "drain away" or render less likely all sorts of invective.

Liberty Tool Company in Liberty, Maine sells salvaged tools. This lovely three minute video featuring Liberty owner and tool buyer H.G. "Skip" Brack provides a glimpse into a solid small-town business that provides a useful service to its patrons.
There's a huge problem with structural unemployment where many people don't have the skills and there's really no role for them except as consumers. But underneath that, for the sustainable economies of the future, we really have a vibrant group of artists and craftspeople who will play a major role in the future, in terms of sustainable economies, because they are able to use tools.

School Deal
(before 2003)
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
There is a district that takes care of many schools. They make decisions for lots of people. One decision they made was not liked by all of the people.
In some of their schools, they sell drinks. These are soft drinks that are sold from a machine. This district wanted to have Pepsi Cola the only soft drink in these machines.
The district knows that the selling of soft drinks will bring in a lot of money for them. They also will sell bottled water. The machines will also have fruit juices.
But some parents do not like the plan. They think that ads will be allowed in the schools. They also think that students who drink the soft drinks will not be very healthy. They are worried that the drinks have too much sugar and no good calories.
Both sides want to keep talking about it. They are getting together to study the problem more. The district will switch from Coca Cola to Pepsi Cola very soon.

The larger cloth is sized at 10"x10". It knit up beautifully and the shamrocks came out just how I wanted. I haven't done a regular sized dishcloth in awhile and decided it was about time. This one is perfect for my kitchen right now. Though I'm tempted to give it away as a gift.
The smaller cloths measure approximately 5½"x 5½". They're an extremely fast knit. Especially if your just looking for something to start while your watching a TV program and get a FO before it's over.
For the hanging loop on the larger cloth I did something a little different this time. When binding off the final row I left 3 remaining stitches and knitted an I-cord for 3". Then I binded them off and sewed the end of the cord to the underside of the cloth where the I-cord started. I loved the look of it and how sturdy it was. I'm going to use this as my loop method from now on.

Paul Dietzel
Coached LSU football team
Paul Dietzel, 89, who led Louisiana State University to an undefeated season in 1958 and its first college football national championship, died Tuesday after a brief illness, the university announced. He was a resident of Baton Rouge, La.
Dietzel coached LSU from 1955 until 1961. In his first three seasons, the Tigers were 3-5-2, 3-7 and 5-5. But among the players he recruited as freshmen in 1956 were Billy Cannon, who became a Heisman Trophy-winning running back.
The 1958 regular season ended with a 62-0 victory at Tulane before 83,221 people, then a Southeastern Conference attendance record. LSU then beat Clemson, 7-0, at Tulane Stadium in the 1959 Sugar Bowl to finish 11-0.
Paul Dietzel: A brief obituary of former Louisiana State football coach Paul Dietzel in the Sept. 29 California section said that he moved from his birthplace of Fremont, Ohio, to Mansfield, La., where he attended high school. It was Mansfield, Ohio. —
Dietzel left LSU to coach at Army and South Carolina, finishing with a 109-95-5 overall record. He also helped create Samford University's athletics department before returning to LSU as athletics director from 1978 until 1982.
Dietzel was born Sept. 5, 1924, in Fremont, Ohio, and moved with his family to Mansfield, in northwest Louisiana, where he played football, basketball and track in high school.
He was a freshman engineering student at Duke when he got a draft notice and left school to enlist in the Army Air Forces, beginning pilot training in January 1944 on a Stearman biplane and that fall on a B-24 bomber. His bomber was among 300 that firebombed Tokyo in May 1945, according to his memoir.
After the war, he enrolled as a pre-med major at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he played football under Sid Gillman. He worked as an assistant for Gillman at Miami, West Point and the University of Cincinnati, becoming plebe coach at West Point instead of enrolling in medical school at Columbia University.
At Cincinnati, he named his defense the Chinese Bandits — a name that later became famous at LSU — after bad guys in the comic strip "Terry and the Pirates." He left Cincinnati in 1951 for Kentucky, as Bear Bryant's offensive line coach.
Luciano Vincenzoni
Italian screenwriter and script doctor
Luciano Vincenzoni, 87, an Italian screenwriter and script doctor best known in the United States for collaborating with director Sergio Leone on the spaghetti westerns "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," died Sunday in Rome, Italian media reported. The cause was not stated.
Although Vincenzoni had a long career working with Billy Wilder, Dino De Laurentiis and other international film veterans, he was most closely associated with Leone. Vincenzoni wrote the scripts and helped sell to United Artists Leone's mid-1960s westerns that featured the eerie film scores of Ennio Morricone and the minimalist acting of poncho-wearing actor Clint Eastwood as the Man with No Name.
Vincenzoni had a long association with De Laurentiis on such films as "The Great War" (1959) and "The Best of Enemies" (1961) and, although not listed in the credits, he worked with Wilder on the screenplay for his 1972 comedy "Avanti!"

Making this website a 2.0 experienceIdea by Javier Garcia-Martinez | added on Feb 03, 2010 03:18PM Collaboration
Making chemistry2011.org a 2.0 experience by adding links to the main social networking sites. The Facebook IYC group has already ca. 600 active and motivated members, mainly young students from all around the World. Connecting the official IYC website with the 2.0 web will likely increase its impact, synergism and creativity
During the IUPAC General Assembly in Glasgow, I created a Facebook group for the International Year of Chemistry. What started as an experiment, today is an active group of 600 young and motivated individuals from all around the World.
My idea is about connecting this chemistry2011.org website with Facebook (and also other social networking sites) to engage the youth and increase its impact.
I have already linked chemistry2011.org to my Facebook IYC group, and it will be great if this website will include icons with links to Facebook, Twitter, RSS, Flickr,...

Hey there,
any chances to get a mobile version of the message board? I'm in my mid-30s now and I don't have the energy anymore to get up from the sofa all the time to bore you with my thoughts.
Seriously though. I have not much experience with such things, but it looks like more and more sites have a mobile version as well. I'm pretty sure I have seen this for message boards as well.

Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording engineered by Mike Gentry
It's hard to imagine the weather that they're getting out there in Pennsylvania and upstate New York tonight. Here it is, nearly the first week in May, and those poor folks are dealing with a freak snowstorm that's dumping over a foot of the white stuff on them at a time when people have already mowed their lawns three or four times and the flowers have all popped. It makes you sort of delirious to think about such a crapshoot of a situation happening right where I am, where the scent - nearly a stink - of the lilacs on the other side of the window is pungent, repulsive and intoxicating, all at the same time. The sun was big and beaming this afternoon. There were no coats and definitely no shovels seen anywhere. The windows were zipped down, at least halfway, and it was downright simple forgetting that winter was even anything that was remotely possible. It couldn't happen to us. Not here. Not now. But it's happening, and not all that far away - just a few fat states over. It's a humbling thought to know this because those people were thinking the same thing just a few days ago as they were riding their bikes through the park and grilling in the backyard. It's amazing how quickly our short-term memories just fade and break apart. We can't even picture an icy sidewalk as it might look outside our front door, right now. We're just dumb about it.
Reminding us of times when we need bundling, when we need reassurance that this is going to pass too, is Kelli Scarr and her impressively earnest and delightful songs. Each of them - as they're heard here - is a little postcard from a few months back, always a few months back, when the fireplace was roaring a warm and smoky roar and when there was nothing better to do than to believe in the lasting qualities of something. When it's winter, you believe that it will never end and when it's spring or summer, you believe that what happened just before it must have been a bad dream and quite possibly unreal. She gives you the feeling of hair blowing in the wind and a fire that will never, ever die down. She gives you the feeling of something in time suspended right where it is, as if everything exists in the most miraculous kind of a vacuum. We're here, she's with us, we're all with the ones that we love and there's no leaving here. There's no getting away, just a slow-moving minute hand. It's like sitting on the bank of a glassy surfaced lake - not a ripple in sight - and a mother of a catfish leaps out from below the surface and just pauses in mid-air, back arched into a lazy C-shape, before getting swallowed up by the brown water. We're just sitting there, listening and watching and things like that jump out at us again and again. We sit here stunned, knowing that when the song ends, we're gonna see all of this get taken away from us and we're not sure what we're going to see outside our windows - something we want to see, or something we'll cuss a little bit. We'd just rather stay by this magical fire.

KCAP Settles Charges of Overstating Assets During Crisis
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Regulators are keeping closer watch on how asset managers value what they hold. Case in point: KCAP Financial (KCAP) today settled charges that it overstated the value of certain assets during the financial crisis.
This is the first Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement action against a public company under the accounting rule known as Financial Accounting Standard 157, which requires assets to be valued with reference to today's market price.
KCAP, a business development company, was accused of valuing debt securities and certain collateralized debt obligations using "an enterprise value methodology." FAS 157, which came into effect in 2008, "requires assets to be fair valued based on an 'exit price' that reflects the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date," according to the SEC.
The firm was accused of valuing certain assets at cost even though it said it had used a discounted cash flow model incorporating a variety of relevant factors, according to the order. Regulators claim the effect was to overstate KCAP's net asset value by 27% for 2008. The numbers were restated in 2010.
KCAP and three executives neither admitted nor denied the charges, according to an SEC release. President and President and CEO Dayl W. Pearson said in in a release that the company is "pleased that this settlement allows us to put this legacy issue behind us."
Pearson and former CFO Michael I. Wirth agreed to pay $50,000 penalties and CIO R. Jonathan Corless agreed to pay a $25,000 penalty, according to the SEC release.
KCAP's shares are down by 1.6% on Wednesday as major indexes rise by half a percent or so.

|A simple pasta dish with carrots and peas and a light tomato sauce made with tomato paste.
Giada's Pasta with Carrots and PeasThis is a meatless dish that I watched Giada de Laurentiis make one day on the Food Network channel. She used linguine, but I didn't have any in the pantry, so I used a combination of Barilla Plus and regular spaghetti pasta.
I was actually surprised to find that it made a very good sauce using no tomatoes - only tomato paste - in fact, that's exactly why I wanted to give it a try, and ya know, it worked! Tomato paste, a few standard seasonings, and pasta water ... so simple. It's a light and perfect dish when you don't want a heavy meal to weigh you down. Don't forget to reserve some of the pasta water - you'll need it!
If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!
Recipe: Giada's Pasta with Carrots and Peas©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 15 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1 pound of linguine or spaghetti pasta
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 of a large onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, salt, and pepper. Cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and 1/2 cup of the hot pasta water. Stir to blend in the tomato paste and create a sauce, adding more pasta water if necessary. Stir in the Italian seasoning, basil and parsley.
Gently fold in the cooked and drained pasta and the peas; add the Parmesan, and any of the additional pasta water as needed. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.

Tuning Up Your Polaris 280 Pool Cleaner
Polaris pool cleaners, the 280 and the 380 are marvelous inventions. Powered by their own booster pump and timeclock, they are the most independent and thorough cleaning pool cleaners available.
They do have a downside - there are quite a few moving parts and bits that wear down or wear out. But! With a little bit of annual maintenance, and occasional adjustments, your Polaris pool cleaner can always run like new!
If you don't do annual tweaks and replace Polaris parts as needed, you may find it easier to use a handy Factory Polaris 280 Rebuild Kit.
Here are the Polaris Tune-Up Instructions and, if you choose, Polaris Rebuild Instructions, for repairs to your Polaris 280 or 380.
Polaris 180 / 280 Tune-Up Instructions
- Mark the position of the head float with a sharpie pen, then pull to remove the float.
- Remove the feed hose from the cleaner by loosening the nut and pulling the hose.
- Remove the cleaner bag, and remove the sweeper tail by removing the tail clip with pliers.
- Remove the screw in center which holds the top in place. Remove the top.
- Remove the axle screws for each wheel. Remove all 3 wheels.
- Remove the turbine cover screws, there are 3 of them, and pull the cover out of the way.
- Remove the screws that hold the turbine cover in place. Then remove the shaft and bearings.
- Remove the small Idler wheel, washer and screw, and the swing axle assembly with spring.
- Slide the new turbine bearings onto the shaft, without removing the clear tubes.
- Tighten the 4 turbine bearing screws and install the turbine cover with 3 screws.
- Lay the new front wheel / sand guard assembly next to the old one, and point the axles in the same direction, as shown right. Use needle nose pliers to remove a notch from the sand guard in the same place as the notch in the old wheel sand guard.
- Install the new front wheel with the axle plate and lock washers. Line up the grooves in the axle with the ribs on the frame. Tighten screws only loosely.
- Adjust the axle, so that the teeth of the drive shaft engage the teeth on the wheel about 3/4 of the way, as shown right. If too close, the wheel will be hard to turn, and if too loose, the drive shaft and wheel will not make good contact.
- When the adjustment is correct, the wheel will spin freely, with light resistance. Tighten the screws to lock the wheel position.
- Repeat the above steps for the single-side wheel, removing a notch in the sand guard, adjusting the axle so that the drive shaft engages the teeth of the wheel.
- Install the new rear wheel. Line up the grooves on the axle with the ribs on the frame, pointing the longer side of the axle toward the rear of the Polaris. Leave the axle screws loose for now.
- Install the new swing axle, swing axle tee, lock washer and spring. Keep the tee parallel with the retaining bracket as you install the swing axle, as shown right.
- Install the new idler wheel onto the swing axle. Secure with the new wheel screw and washer, but not overly tight.
- Install the assembled bottom onto the frame of your Polaris 280.
- Push the rear wheel forward until it contacts the idler wheel, then tighten the screws on the axle. If you spin the back wheel, the idler wheel should spin, and if you spin the front wheel, all 3 wheels should spin together.
- Reinstall the top onto your Polaris 280, attach the new sweep tail with the clamp.
- Reinstall the head float to the mark made during reassembly, and install your new Polaris bag.
- Reinstall the hose and hose nut and test out your rebuilt Polaris pool cleaner!

1 cup mashed sweet potato
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup roughly chopped sprouted pumpkin seeds
1 cup freshly grated carrot
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 cup ground flax seed

1/4-1/2 cup water
1/4 cup gluten-free oats
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
2. In a food processor, combine ALL ingredients except oil, water, and oats. Combine until ingredients are all mixed, but not mushy. There will still be some chunks in this burger!
3. Pour contents of food processor into a large mixing bowl. Add water and oil, and stir well. Add oats to mixture, allowing it to absorb excess moisture.
4. Form into at least 12 hockey puck-sized patties, and place onto a non-stick baking sheet.
5. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until burgers are uniformly browned and cooked all the way through. Serve with tomatoes, avocado, grilled onions, sprouts and your favorite mustard on a delicious whole wheat or gluten-free bun.

It's time for another episode of Nancysomething! You remember our series on Nancy Fleming, the Delawarean in search of a healthy makeover? When we last saw Nancy, she had lost more than 50 pounds through diet and exercise and her arterial blockage had decreased from 49 to 34 percent.
You may recall that Nancy's makeover journey began in 2011 when she was preparing to run a half marathon and was warned by her physician that she needed a healthier lifestyle to unblock her carotid arteries before she could successfully run longer distances.
On May 12, Nancy not only ran the Delaware Half Marathon, but she came in 12th in her fiftysomething age group.
"The priority is living this lifestyle," says Fleming. "All those years people said it's a lifestyle not a diet, and I have been living this lifestyle and loving it. In our society, everyone wants a quick fix and my story is the best example of that."
I asked Nancy to share her secrets for maintaining healthy habits to meet her goals.
"I make sure to eat a lean protein with every meal or snack," she says. "It's my main rule. My trick with carbs is to eat the protein first, and then see if I am still hungry for the carbs."
A Day In the Life of a Healthy Nancy:
- Breakfast: "I eat two poached eggs, two slices of Canadian bacon and whatever vegetables are left over from the night before."
- Lunch: "I usually have a Caesar or chef salad with lean protein like chicken, or a turkey sandwich with a vegetable. I try to go light on dairy and salad dressings."
- Dinner: "I like to alternate between fish, chicken and pork with green vegetables. Sometimes I will have a baked or sweet potato every now and then. For a healthy dessert, I like Chobani Greek yogurt with fruit."
- "For exercise, I run a few miles three times a week with a long run on Saturday mornings. Once a week I do a strength training session full of squats, lunges and weights."
As someone who has followed Nancy's journey for a year now, I just want to share with Get Healthy, Delaware! readers how proud I am of both her progress and her achievements at the Delaware Half Marathon. For me, the best part is that I am not just proud, I'm inspired. I hope you are, too.

Now that the long, snowy winter seems to have said goodbye to most of the country, many people's minds have turned to the warmer pursuits of spring and summer: running outdoors, playing fetch with the dog, grilling out. I am looking forward to gardening on cool evenings or warm Sunday afternoons listening to the baseball announcers on my neighbor's radio in his backyard. And as a perennial Kansas City Royals fan, I finally have reason to cheer again this year—so far.
At least three club operators also have reason to cheer this year.
In March, Pat Cunningham, owner of the Chicago Athletic Club, hit what may turn out to be a home run of sorts for his seven-club company. He signed a letter of intent with the Chicago Cubs to be the health club tenant in a retail development by Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs, that would also include parking and an open air plaza. The development has yet to be approved by neighborhood groups and the city of Chicago, but if approved, construction could start in 2014 or 2015. The current plan calls for the club to occupy about 40,000 square feet on two floors of a planned Sheraton Hotel, Cunningham says.
As part of the deal, the club might stage outdoor programs in the outdoor plaza area and do events with Cubs players, although nothing definitive has been set. The club will have some unique offerings compared to other Chicago Athletic Clubs, including batting cages, golf simulators and sports training for kids—specifically for baseball, Cunningham says.
The Cubs partnership is somewhat unique for the fitness industry but not completely. In December, Mountainside Fitness Centers, Tempe, AZ, opened a 13,000-square-foot club at Chase Field in Phoenix, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
This club is the first in downtown Phoenix for Mountainside Fitness, which typically builds 40,000-square-foot clubs in the suburbs. The opening just adds to the partnership that Mountainside already had with the Diamondbacks. Mountainside served as the official health club of the team, the company's trainers led boot camps for Diamondback office staff several times each week, and Mountainside's founder and president, Tom Hatten, serves on the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation's executive committee
"It went from being a cool idea to something that, from a marketing standpoint, no one had ever done before," Billy Malkovich, CEO of Mountainside Fitness, told Club Industry in September 2011 when the idea was first announced. "It was a way for us to change the game in sports marketing."
The two-level facility is situated with good visibility from the stands, just beyond center field. It has a café, a steam room and a group exercise room that offers more than 60 group exercise classes each week.
But partnerships do not just come with baseball teams. Steele Fitness, a club company with five locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, has signed a deal (for an undisclosed sum) with Under Armour to open a 2,500-square-foot retail store in its 12,000-square-foot Edina, MN, club and call it Under Armour for Steele. This location already has a retail store inside it, but the company will remodel the store and move out the merchandise from its current 15 vendors, instead selling only Under Armour workout apparel co-branded with Steele Fitness. The remodel is expected to be complete later this month.
The club company's owner, Steele Smiley, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that his intent is to open an Under Armour store next to every one of his clubs by the end of the summer.
Partnerships with baseball teams, sports apparel vendors or other fitness-related vendors make sense for the fitness industry as it tries to demystify the gym for the couch potato who loves to watch sports but perhaps has never (or hasn't lately) set a foot in the gym. It also makes sense for those avid athletes who would never dare miss a day of workouts.
How can you take advantage of this opportunity? Well, if you don't have a professional sports team in your city, you may have a chance with Under Armour. The Baltimore Business Journal reported that Under Armour won't be stopping at the Twin Cities with its specialty stores. It plans to open more retail shops in other markets, naming Boston, Chicago and Vail, CO, as possibilities. These retail shops are part of the company's efforts to localize its retail shops.
Sounds like it's time to make a call to Under Armour before you enjoy that lazy summer day.

Albuquerque is home to the Albuquerque Corrections Department. This prison serves Bernalillo County County and surrounding areas. The address listed for the Albuquerque Corrections Department facility is Albuquerque New Mexico 87106-2168, but you should always check that an inmate is at a location and able to receive visitors before traveling to this location.
More than anything, inmates need contact with their friends and family on the outside. Jails and Prisons don't make this easy. Many charge inmates up to $14 a minute to make a long-distance phone call. Fortunately, there is an easy way to provide the jail with a local number your inmate can call that will ring your phone and/or those of other family and friends no matter where everyone lives. An inmate can then make their calls using the local number rate while talking to friends and family long distance. This service is provided by Globaltel at Inmate Calls. To send mail to an inmate go to Jail Postcards.
Step one is to locate your inmate. Inmates may be in a local city jail pending trial or following sentencing before transfer to a longer-term state prison. Step two is to call the inmate. Gaining permission to visit a prisoner is often difficult. You'll need to call an inmate first to learn what days and times and places they have been approved for visitation. Setting up phone service with an inmate will allow you to get this information directly so you can avoid any problems.
It's important for families of inmates to help each other with information and tips about the prison facility they are in. You can leave comments and tips below about the best places to stay when visiting your inmate as well comments about any local service organization not already on our list of those available to help local families of inmates. We urge you to add your own comments about Albuquerque Corrections Department below. "

Prison life is hard for everyone and outside emotional support does a lot to help an inmate survive in prison. That's why prison calls are very important to both the inmate and their families. Inmates are allowed to call family and friends from the outside, though regulations vary per facility. But the question is, how do you call an inmate back? More importantly, can you call an inmate back? Technically, you can't but some facilities may reconsider in emergency cases. Prison Call Rules Each facility is given autonomy on implementing its own inmate calling system. As a result, prison call rules vary for each facility. But some rules apply for most prisons. For one, inmates cannot receive calls. They can only make outgoing ones. This means you can't call an inmate back. You

The last thing you want to have to deal with when riding your bike, particularly in busy traffic, is your sunglasses falling off. So to ensure they stay on your face no matter how rough the terrain is, the Helm from Dux features a retractable pair of sunglasses that will never go missing.
They can be raised and lowered when riding using a simple sliding mechanism, and a quick release makes them easy to remove altogether if you want to swap in a different coloured shade. By default the helmet comes with a grey tinted visor for $179, but a variety of other tints will soon be available starting at $US30. Cheaper than a pair of Oakleys, and the helmet will make you feel like a genuine fighter pilot — who still has to deal with swallowing bugs.

Major Release ~ Lagrange Point, now available! Lagrange Point

Progress ~ Lagrange Point - Last of Three Lagrange Point
# Posted on October 12th, 2014 06:00 PM by Gideon ZhiLast but certainly not least, Lagrange Point! Betatest has been underway for a full month at this point; I blame Destiny for my, uh, lack of timeliness in addressing bugs. Sorry about that, testers! They´ve reported a total of 228 issues so far - typos, bugs, localization and consistency issues - and I´ve smooshed all but four of them at this point.
But we´re getting really, really, really close to release. Next couple of days close. Updated the project slideshow with 20 new screenshots, but that´s where I´ll end the post; I´ll talk about it in more detail when we release.

Progress ~ Second of Three - Romancing SaGa 2
# Posted on October 12th, 2014 05:56 PM by Gideon ZhiOkay, so, Romancing SaGa 2. I´d be lying if I said the project was in pristine shape, and it´d be disingenuous to upload gorgeous screenshots without showing some of the, uh, not so gorgeous screenshots. I´ve replaced the entire slideshow with screenshots indicative of the current state of the project, warts and all. You can see one of the problems below.
That said, these will *hopefully* not be too difficult to overcome. As with SMT if..., there´s a SaGa anniversary coming up soon. I´d really like to have this out then as well, but it´s a bit more of a long shot than SMT. We´ll see.

Progress ~ SMT if... - First of Three Shin Megami Tensei: if...
# Posted on October 11th, 2014 05:42 PM by Gideon ZhiHi everyone, I promised updates today, so here they are! This is the first of three: Shin Megami Tensei if...
So I streamed some of the hacking for this a couple of months ago. There hasn´t really been much progress since, though all the remaining hacking is similar to what was done on-stream. That said, there isn´t much left and there´s an anniversary date coming up very, very soon... I´d like to have the game out for then. I´m not promising because we haven´t started playtesting yet and it´s going to be a bit of a push, but right now, that´s the goal.
I´ve added six new screenshots to the end of the game´s slideshow, two of which I´ve attached to this update. They´re things you probably would have seen if you watched the stream or follow me on Twitter, but I´m adding them regardless.
Some folks may remember me remarking how similar the hacking of the game was to SMT2. It is in fact very nearly the exact same engine, but I´ve wanted to make improvements over the SMT2 work. The most notable are the proportional font (which has been in the screenshots since the very beginning) and the expansion of the horizontal space in menus, subscreens, and inventory spaces; where once were two columns now are one, and I´m using the extra space between each row to double up. Gets me a lot more screen real estate.
That´s it for SMT if...; keep your fingers crossed for it.
But now for a bit of somewhat sad related news. I don´t often do this, but today I´m announcing that I´m going to be dropping Megami Tensei 1 and Soul Hackers. I´d originally intended to roll the Megami Tensei 1 work into Kyuyaku Megami Tensei, but The Romhacking Aerie beat me to it; both Megami Tensei 1 and 2 are now playable in their SNES incarnations, and the original Megami Tensei for the NES is, well, not very good regardless. So if you want to play it, go for it! It´s available, just not from here. Soul Hackers is getting dropped because it´s out on the 3DS and there´s not much point. If you want to play it, support Atlus and go buy it.

Progress ~ Crowdsourcing SRW Alpha
# Posted on March 1st, 2014 04:51 PM by Gideon ZhiOkay, so, it´s no secret that Super Robot Wars Alpha has a staggeringly huge amount of text. While it only took speed-demon Tyria a year to translate, the text is frankly really messy and wasn´t really suitable for prime-time. As many of you will recall, I started hunting around for an editor shortly thereafter, and settled on Antialias, who I recruited on 4chan´s /m/ board. In the last several years he´s managed to edit about a third of the story dialog text (if we consider duplicate strings to be distinct, anyway) but work has been slow in large part because the script is so dauntingly large.
Some time ago, we decided that it would be a good idea to get multiple workers on the script, but had no real way to manage that. Well, yesterday Antialias set up a Perforce repository on Assembla, and we´re ready to put together a small team. Antialias himself will be handling the vetting process, in large part to to minimize style conflicts. Style conflict is one of the big reasons I didn´t want multiple editors in the first place, but given the size of things, better a little awkwardness in this matter than no translation at all.
Post edit: Things have been moving along at quite a decent clip, so we're not looking for any more editors at the moment. Thanks to everyone who contributed, and expect more news soonish.
Sorry it´s taking so long!

Major Release ~ Super Robot Wars 2... twofer! Happy non-denominational holiday! Super Robot Wars 2
# Posted on December 24th, 2013 06:47 AM by Gideon ZhiAs Banpresto celebrates the announcement of SRW Z3 and a high-definition remake of the very first SRW, so too does Aeon Genesis. Launching today is the English version of Super Robot Wars 2 for the NES, with a heaping plateful of extras! Included is the previously-advertised optional music persistence patch as well as a patch that will completely remove the hack should you decide you don´t like it. But wait, that´s not all! Thanks to RHDN music guru optomon, we´ve replaced the awkwardly muzaky Tobe! Gundam theme song with Gallant Char, the track used in for UC units in SRW3, EX, and 4. As with music persistence, this patch is entirely optional, comes with a removal patch, and can be applied with any combination of the translation and music persistence patch, or it can just be applied on its own!
As if that weren´t enough, all this is releasing alongside a similarly-complete translation for the officially-emulated version of Super Robot Wars 2 on the GameBoy Advance!! I´ve managed to insert the NES translation into the Famicom Mini version of the game that was released in limited quantities as a promotional contest item. It´s probably inferior to the NES version, but hey, more options! Good stuff. Music Persistence and Gallant Char are both fully functional with the FamiMini version of the game as well, and are included as optional patches (and removal patches) with the translation. Now, this hasn´t been tested extensively, and might be prone to weird issues that may or may not be caused by the translation. It´s really hard to tell, and honestly it was thrown together pretty quickly as a what-if effort. Please report issues and findings on The Pantheon.

It´s a neat strategy/RPG for the Game Gear, and it´s the sequel to Crystal Warriors if you´re familiar with that. It´s a dramatic improvement over its predecessor and is easily one of the prettiest games on the platform. Enjoy!

Major Release ~ Ys 5, At Long Last Ys V - Kefin, Lost City of Sand
# Posted on November 28th, 2013 12:01 AM by Gideon ZhiI must admit, I am at a loss for words writing this. Ys 5 has been a trial in so many ways and it has been in the works for so long that I don´t feel like I could do it justice in a one- or two-paragraph blurb. As such, I will let the translation speak for itself: it is without issue (that I know of), and includes some fairly substantial under-the-hood modifications to data storage and menu structures. Despite how bumpy the road has been, or perhaps because of it, I am intensely proud of this release. Enjoy!
As a further note, earlier this week XSeed Games released Memories of Celceta for the PS Vita, and their Ys releases on Steam are currently on sale. If you enjoy Ys 5 and haven´t bought any other titles in the series, please give XSeed your business. In celebration I´ve updated the translation of Ys 4 Mask of the Sun, of which Memories of Celceta is a remake. This update brings some of the terminology in line with XSeed´s version and includes various other fixes to the text, including the nasty glitchy too-long strings that erased bits of the frame.
Lastly, I´ve updated TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure with a minor fix to the Battle mode screen.
I´m going to attempt to keep up a bi-weekly release schedule for the foreseeable future, but I don´t like to make any hard-and-fast promises for something like this unless I´ve already got something very nearly ready for release. I think I can manage it for at least two more, though!
In any case, Ys 5 is now available. Enjoy!

Major Release ~ TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure Launches TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure
# Posted on November 14th, 2013 04:20 PM by Gideon ZhiToday sees the release of TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure for the SNES! Translation is 100% complete, so enjoy! I´m not going to claim that this is the best platformer on the SNES or even that it´s one of the best, as it frankly can´t hold a candle to Mario, Metroid, Megaman X or Front Mission Gun Hazard (yes, I went there!) But it´s still a damn good game, and if you´re itching for a cute but challenging platformer with plenty of secrets to find, here´s a great chance to have a good scratch.
I´m currently planning another release for two weeks from today. Fingers crossed!

Announcement ~ Announcing TwinBee, Plus Other News TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure
# Posted on November 10th, 2013 11:21 AM by Gideon ZhiFor those of you who´ve been following me on Twitter this won´t exactly be news, but I´m finally announcing a translation project for TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure. It´s a cute little platformer for the SNES with a bit of Sonic, a bit of Rocket Knight, and a bit of Mario World all thrown into a blender. Casual fans may note that this did in fact come out in PAL regions; diehard fans will note that said PAL release was heavily stripped-down. The translation restores all that content - the dialog, the endings, the secret exits and twisty map, and the battery-backed saves. It´s almost done, too; unless something goes seriously wrong, expect it within the next week or so.
In other news, SRW2´s betatest progresses well. We´ve hit one major issue: a buffer overflow with the unit screen which I´m not quite sure how to fix just yet. But things are otherwise fairly clean, so hopefully that´ll be out by the end of the year.
Also, hacking for Ys 5 has been completed as well. The edit progresses apace, and we´re hoping to have the translation out on Thanksgiving Day. Of course, given how beastly the project has been, things could always go badly awry in the meantime. Keep your fingers crossed!

What a lot of people forget about remotes is the concept of "incentive". If the incentive is
right, people will respond.
Case in the point (extreme, though it was): Back in the 80's, I was doing a Saturday afternoon remote on a 90 plus degree day on, yes, a used car lot. Nobody in their right mind would have been there, and for the first 45 minutes of the 2 hour remote, nobody was.
The owner of the dealership shows up. I'm thinking, "I'm dead. He's gonna want to know what kind of schlub jock I am because I'm on the air and no one's here." When I saw the owner, I was kind of apologetic. He asked why? I told him, I was hoping we'd sell him a car that day.
He said, "You want to sell a car? Hold on, I'll be right back." Off to the office he went. A few minutes later, he came back with a set of keys and took me over to this used car. He explained, yeah, it's a beater. But, he said his mechanic had checked it out and determined it was mechanically sound and would be a good car for, say, someone's kid who would be going off to college.
Then Mr. Dealer asked our station frequency. I told him 95.3. He said, "OK, on your next break tell people that the first person who comes in here with 95 dollars cash in hand can drive off with this car." I was dumbfounded, and asked if he was serious. He said yes.
So I said what he told me to say on the next break. Within 5 seconds, people were doing U-turns in the middle of the street to get into his lot! And enough traffic was generated from that stunt that they sold 2 more cars that afternoon.
As the madness was going on, Mr. Dealer (who was by then walking toward his car), looked at me and said, "You were worried that no one was listening?"
I've never forgotten that lesson. Too bad the people who buy and the people who sell remotes don't learn it.

Getting What You Want - When You Want It...
A lot of companies talk about being "dedicated"… about "striving" to meet "goals" to "ensure customer satisfaction"… But when you need something important printed… something vital to your business or organization… The last thing you care about is a lot of talk and weak promises. All you want are results. Period.
Getting the quality print job you need, when you need it. On time. And on budget. That's all the matters. Because this is your business… your organization… and you don't have time to waste on a hit-or-miss search for a printer you can trust.
For 17 years, Creative Ink has been producing first rate print jobs for companies
and specialty organizations all over Boston and the North Shore.
Customer satisfaction is not our goal – it's what we do. Period. We don't just print jobs… we build relationships with each and every one of our customers. Most have been with us for a long time. Some since the beginning. Why? Because we deliver on what we promise. High quality printing. Consistently on time and on budget.

NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory captured two giant explosions on the sun, one after the other during a 4-hour period, on Nov. 16, 2012.
Solar eruptions send a massive cloud of high speed particles, called a coronal mass ejection, either into space or toward Earth.
When this wave of charged particles collides with our planet, it can set up a beautiful display of the Aurora Borealis, and at the same time, when they are strong enough, can cause damage by disrupting satellite networks and knocking out power grids.
Although the most recent blast of super-hot plasma was not headed toward Earth, it's part of an increase in solar activity, which has to do with the Sun nearing its next Solar maximum in 2013.
When the solar maximum arrives, marking the peak of the 11-year solar cycle, we can expect "more coronal mass ejections, more geomagnetic storms and more auroras than we have experienced in quite some time," says NASA.
This means, in the next year, solar storms could pose a big risk to technology systems.
Watch the intense footage of last Friday's solar eruption below:

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Recording artist Rihanna confirmed to Rolling Stone magazine she has reconciled with Chris Brown, the boyfriend who beat her up in Los Angeles in 2009.
Brown pleaded guilty to assault, then was ordered to perform community service and stay away from his ex-girlfriend for a brief period of time. Although the restraining order against him has been lifted, he remains on probation.
Brown was widely criticized after the incident by fans, journalists and some other musicians outraged by what he did to Rihanna. Rihanna suffered a similar backlash after rumors began flying that she had forgiven her abuser and taken him back.
"I decided it was more important for me to be happy," Rihanna told Rolling Stone, confirming for the first time she and Brown are back together. "I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it."
Rihanna insisted she doesn't think Brown will physically hurt her again.
"It's different now," she said. "We don't have those types of arguments anymore. We talk about [expletive]. We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don't want to lose that. ... He doesn't have the luxury of [expletive] up again. ... That's just not an option. I can't say that nothing else will ever go wrong. But I'm pretty solid in the knowing that he's disgusted by that. And I wouldn't have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility. He made a mistake, and he's paid his dues."
Brown allegedly has been involved in other physical confrontations since assaulting Rihanna. Singer Frank Ocean told police Brown punched him during an argument over a parking spot outside a Los Angeles-area recording studio last weekend, TMZ reported. Several people associated with both men were allegedly involved but no arrests were made.
Last year, Brown and Canadian singer Drake allegedly were in a fight at a New York nightclub that left eight people injured. No charges were brought in that case either.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera knows when to hold 'em, and knows when to fold 'em.
The newly aggressive Panthers coach went for a decisive touchdown just before halftime, but kicked a field goal on a fourth-and-goal in the fourth quarter.
Both were the right calls, as the Panthers built a decisive lead, then were just padding it in a 27-6 thrashing of the Buccaneers.
The win was the eighth in a row for the Panthers, setting up an intriguing battle for first place in the NFC South with New Orleans next Sunday night.
They did it on a day in which things weren't perfect. They still didn't run it as effectively as they'd like, and they let the Bucs move the ball early. But Rivera has developed a feel for his team, and they're playing with confidence even without some key parts.
The Panthers need to get defensive end Charles Johnson back for his pressure in the two remaining Saints games. But so far, their secondary full of spare parts has held. It will be tested next week as it hasn't been, but they have surprised thus far.

The Toward 100% Renewable Energy in Belgium by 2050 report notes that Belgium's offshore wind installed capacity was expected to reach about 380MW by the end of 2012 and it assumes 2.2GW by 2020.
The report also cites a current utilisation rate for offshore turbines in Belgian waters of 3,484 hours of full capacity equivalent.
A wind energy-focused scenario is one of multiple options presented in the report. Compared to other options, the wind focused-strategy – which would also include increases in the use of other renewable sources, including biomass and solar PV - offers several advantages.
A wind-focused strategy would result in the lowest net additional energy sector costs and the highest potential financial gains, should the cost of carbon rise substantially.
Adopting such an approach would also allow Belgium to sharply reduce its energy imports — and its existing national energy bill with it.
This would be achieved despite the fact that the scenario allows for unlimited imports of offshore wind-generated electricity from its neighbours, such as the UK, France, the Netherlands and Germany.
